Wilson Heavy Duty Recoil Springs are made combat tough to repeatedly take a pounding yet show a remarkable consistent performance every time a round is fired. Keeping a fresh recoil spring in your gun will dramatically reduce the pounding your slide and frame receive. Drop-in.
Technical Information
Fits: Heavy-Duty Recoil Spring for Full-Size 5" (Government Model) 1911
- Factory 1911 recoil springs are 16 pounds in 45 ACP, 14 pounds in 38 Super, 9mm Luger, 38 Special Midrange, Colt Ace 22 conversion kit, and 19 pounds in 40 S&W.
- Factory 1911 recoil springs for Officers models are 22 lbs
- Factory 1911 springs for Commander models are 18 lbs
- The Delta Elite 10mm uses a dual factory spring rated at 23 pounds. Single recoil springs require that the Delta Elite recoil spring guide be replaced with a standard 45 ACP recoil spring guide.
- Recoil springs fit over a pistol's guide rod and control how the pistol's slide functions.
- In general, heavy loads need heavy springs and lighter loads need lighter springs. There is no hard and fast rule as to how much "Spring" a pistol needs. Too light a spring and the pistol opens and closes early and hard, increasing the felt recoil and battering the frame. Too heavy a spring and the slide is hard to open and may not cycle completely, jamming the pistol.
- Shooters who are using +P ammunition or self defense ammunition will likely need heavier recoil springs.
- Shooters who are using target ammunition may be able to use lighter recoil springs.
- Installation requires disassembly and reassembly of the pistol.

NHTSA chief: Jeep recall required "pushing, prodding, threats" against Chrysler
NHTSA chief: Jeep recall required "pushing, prodding, threats" against Chrysler
NHTSA chief: Jeep recall required "pushing, prodding, threats" against Chrysler
The head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says government regulators relied on "pushing and prodding and threats and yelling" to convince Chrysler to initiate a recall of older-model Jeep Grand Cherokees and Libertys.
The comments from NHTSA administrator David Strickland came during a one-hour meeting Strickland hosted for crash victims and safety advocates in July.
WTHR has obtained a recording of the closed-door meeting, which reveals government doubts about Chrysler's controversial recall plan and a reluctance by the automaker to take action.
Following a long investigation, NHTSA asked Chrysler to recall 2.7 million older Jeeps for what the government describes as a dangerous safety defect.
In a June 2013 letter to Chrysler, NHTSA explains why it believes 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees and 2002-2007 Jeep Libertys are "poor performers" in terms of fatalities, fires and fuel leaks in rear-end crashes.
NHTSA said "there is a performance defect and a design defect" involving the vehicles' gas tanks. According to regulators, locating the fuel tank behind the rear axle and just inches from the back bumper makes it more vulnerable to a rupture during rear-impact crashes. Based on the findings and 51 related deaths tracked by NHTSA, the federal agency formally asked Chrysler to initiate a safety recall.
Chrysler said no, declining NHTSA's recall request. In a detailed response, Chrysler insisted the vehicles in question "are safe and do not contain a defect." Chrysler said the Jeep gas tanks comply with all government safety standards and the vehicles' crash performance is reasonable and comparable to other SUVs.
Facing public pressure, Chrysler did agree to a more limited recall involving an unusual remedy: adding a trailer hitch to some of the older Jeeps. The automaker says it might provide more protection during rear-impact crashes.
Chrysler's recall plan triggered red flags from victims and consumer groups, who say a trailer hitch won't solve the problem.
Ana Piña, who barely survived when her 2000 Jeep Cherokee was rear-ended last year in northern Indiana, points out her vehicle had a trailer hitch when it exploded from a ruptured gas tank.
"That don't fix anything," said Piña, who is still recovering from burns she suffered over 40% of her body. "Chrysler knows that."
Clarence Ditlow, the longtime director of the Center For Auto Safety, agrees.
"The trailer hitch is a sham," said Ditlow, whose petition launched NHTSA's Jeep investigation.
He believes a trailer hitch may actually make the gas tank problem worse. He points to accidents like the one that killed 4-year-old Cassidy Jarmon to explain why. When her mom's Jeep was rear-ended in Texas, police and Chrysler both concluded it was actually the vehicle's trailer hitch that punctured the gas tank -- fueling a deadly fire.
"Cassidy Jarmon was burned to death in a child seat in a survivable rear impact. That's proof positive that trailer hitches don't prevent fire deaths in these vehicles," Ditlow told WTHR.
Despite those concerns about the recall from victims and safety advocates, federal regulators have said little in public.
The government did issue a standard acknowledgment of the recall, but NHTSA has not publicly discussed growing concerns about Chrysler's trailer-hitch remedy and whether it will adequately address what the government believes is "an unreasonable risk to safety the vehicles present in rear impact crashes."
The agency also did not publicly respond to the automaker's argument that federal investigators used flawed statistics to improperly conclude a Jeep safety recall is necessary.
Equipped with a petition and a tape recorder, Jenelle Embrey would bring that silence to an end.
Embrey became a central figure in the Jeep recall effort after she witnessed a fatal Jeep accident first-hand.
She and her father were driving near their homes in Virginia when they watched a distracted driver rear-end a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee with three people inside. The vehicle burst into flames. Embrey's father was able to save one person from the burning Jeep, but vivid images of the two other victims – Acoye Breckenridge and Heather Santor – still haunt her.
"It's the most horrific scene you can imagine watching people burn to death in front of you," Embrey told WTHR.
Following the accident, Embrey launched an online petition to gain support for a Jeep recall. Within a few months, 128,000 people signed her petition – more than enough to get the attention of NHTSA.
NHTSA administrator David Strickland agreed to meet with Embrey to hear her concerns about the recall plan offered by Chrysler.
A closed-door meeting was set for July 1 at NHTSA headquarters inside the U.S. Department of Transportation building in Washington.
Embrey wanted NHTSA to hear from others who share her doubts about what she perceives as a "fake recall," so she invited victims like Piña to join her. On the day of the meeting, Embrey also brought along victims' representatives, other safety advocates and her tape recorder.
"We went to Washington just so I could hear face-to-face from David Strickland if he was going to take care of this," she explained. "I turned the tape recorder on. There were no signs not to."
It is unclear whether Strickland and the seven NHTSA staff members who attended the meeting with him realized they were being recorded, but the candid comments heard on the audio tape yield new insights and new concerns about Chrysler's recall.
They also underscore Chrysler's reluctance to issue any recall involving Jeep fuel tanks.
After introductions from the 17 people attending the meeting and some brief opening statements, Strickland explained why his agency has maintained a low public profile following Chrysler's controversial recall proposal.
"We have not responded yet because we're still evaluating because we're asking, you know, frankly, the very same questions that everybody else at this table is, you know: Does the remedy address, you know, the unreasonable risk of safety?" Strickland said.
Piña told Strickland she is frustrated that Chrysler continues to issue denials and that the automaker insists there are no safety defects involving the gas tanks on older Jeeps like hers.
"Chrysler, they don't think there is any problem," she said. "It is real. I am sorry. This not my imagination, you know? I am right here… I can prove this happened because of the Jeep in the accident. I am not here to lie."
Strickland heard graphic testimony about children and adults who survived the impact of a rear-end crash in their Jeeps, only to be burned to death by a raging fire caused by a leaking gas tank. Following those comments, he again voiced doubts about whether Chrysler's plan is adequate, while also criticizing the automaker's willingness to take action.
"We have questions about whether the right thing has been addressed here in terms of what Chrysler has presented," he said. "I am just going to be blunt. They weren't going to do a damned thing. They weren't. You know, it took a lot of pushing and prodding and threats and yelling and, frankly, you know, my legal department to get ready. It's like we were going to go to war. The unfortunate thing was that if it ended up in that particular posture, we are looking at three to five years before we actually got resolution from the NHTSA perspective."
The administrator went on to say that he and former DOT secretary Ray LaHood "cut no deals because it was convenient." Strickland suggested the offer proposed by NHTSA was better than getting no deal at all, even if the proposed remedy has yet to be tested for its effectiveness.
"There's frankly a lot of people that aren't with us at all, you know, from crashes that you know, frankly, as you know, could have been easily walked away from. That was one of the things that moved me very deeply to make sure that we fought and put the resources to get to where we are. So while Chrysler has made an offer willingly, we will make sure that we are satisfied that the remedy does address the safety need, and there is a lot of work going on with that."
Strickland answered questions about NHTSA's decision to exempt many older-model Jeeps from its original recall request. Millions of older Jeep Cherokees, including the one Piña was driving at the time of her accident, were not included in NHTSA's recall letter to Chrysler. The company's current plan also excludes some Jeep Grand Cherokees that federal regulators asked to be recalled.
"In terms of comparing, you know, fire-related fatalities in these particular vehicles, it was very close to their peers," Strickland explained, adding that Chrysler provided compelling data that made NHTSA re-consider its position on Jeep Cherokees. "If the data shows that the peer vehicles of this particular vehicle are in the same range, it isn't an unreasonable risk to safety … if I don't have a legal basis, you know, to show there is an unreasonable risk of safety based upon the data, which is the foundation of all that we do, then that is where we are."
The NHTSA administrator said his staff found other Jeep models – 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees and 2002-2007 Jeep Libertys – with a safety risk "off the charts," justifying the agency's request for a recall. Strickland said his staff is now conducting an engineering analysis to determine if Chrysler's plan will reduce risk and improve safety.
While NHTSA quietly studies the automaker's proposal, Chrysler is making plans to install trailer hitches for a problem it believes isn't really a problem.
Joan Claybrook, a former NHTSA administrator, says that doesn't make sense.
"I think putting a trailer hitch on these vehicles is ridiculous," Claybrook told 13 Investigates, adding that she cannot understand why the federal agency has been so quiet about Chrysler's decision to not implement a full recall.
"I'm really disappointed. They're completely letting us down," she said. "It's time for this vehicle to be recalled and fixed properly."
In the 1970s, Claybrook led the government's successful effort to recall fuel tanks on the Ford Pinto. Like some older-model Jeeps, the Pinto was also linked to deaths caused by rear-mounted gas tank that were vulnerable to rupture in a rear-impact collisions. Claybrook forced Ford to change its recall plan after NHTSA tested it and determined it would not work.
She believes NHTSA should also test Chrysler's trailer-hitch plan for Jeeps, and Claybrook made a direct plea to Strickland during the closed-door meeting in July.
"I urge you from the bottom of my heart, do a crash test," she said. "I think that is the only thing that would tell the truth."
Strickland did not commit to performing new crash tests.
"I will make no promises because, at the end of the day, I want to make sure that, frankly, our engineering team has a maximum amount of flexibility to be able to make the decisions."
Those comments did not impress Embrey, who left the meeting feeling skeptical.
"Really, he danced around the issues a lot. He did not give us any solid word on anything," she said.
Others who attended the meeting tell WTHR they remain optimistic.
"We're expecting any day for NHTSA to announce the remedy doesn't work and for Chrysler to go back to the drawing board," said Ditlow. "Recall those vehicles."
The Center for Auto Safety believes continued delays by Chrysler and NHTSA are having a devastating impact.
Last week, a 17-year-old died when his older-model Jeep Grand Cherokee was rear ended by a semi near Boston. Police believe the teenager may have swerved into the path of the truck to avoid couch cushions lying on the highway. The Jeep immediately caught fire and the victim burned to death.
"We can't wait any longer," Ditlow said. "It makes no sense and even worse, people are dying and being severely burned in the meantime."
Both NHTSA and Chrysler declined WTHR's request for an interview about Strickland's comments and the current status of the recall. However, this week NHTSA sent Eyewitness News the following statement:
"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is deeply committed to improving safety and reducing the number of deaths and injuries on our nation's roadways. The agency routinely meets with safety advocates and other stakeholders, including crash victims to ensure safety defects are addressed by automakers. NHTSA's investigation remains open pending completion of the agency's evaluation of Chrysler's proposed remedy. Consistent with all NHTSA defect investigations, the agency will publish its final analysis when completed. As always, NHTSA will monitor consumer outreach as the recall process continues."
Chrysler re-issued an earlier statement about the recall:
"Preparations continue to implement the announced actions, though the affected vehicles are not defective. Customers will be advised when to schedule vehicle inspections with their dealers."

If you haven't signed up for a SocialSecurity.gov personal account, do it now. Don't give a crook a chance to sign up as you.
A year ago, Social Security launched the My Social Security online portal at SocialSecurity.gov, which gives participants of any age information about their personal Social Security and Medicare accounts. At this year's recent meeting with the consumer Social Security Advisory Board, the administration warned that a small number -- fewer than 1 percent -- of the accounts have been created by fraudsters who opened a My Social Security account using information that belongs to someone else.
These crooks can use the portal to change the beneficiary information, directing Social Security payments to a different bank account -- one to which they have access. Social Security says this is most likely to happen to those who are "elderly, ill or nontech-savvy." Even if a participant isn't yet receiving Social Security payments, having this information stolen can be problematic, Social Security says, because it allows a crook to receive a benefit verification letter and future retirement benefit information.
Setting up one of these retirement planning accounts requires that you provide personal information and create a password. The password is constructed in a way that is more complex than most people use for other purposes. Once you've done it, the likelihood that someone will be able to break into your account is low.
Only one account per Social Security number is permitted, so if you have never set one up and are unable to do so, Social Security recommends that you either call (800) 772-1213 or go in person to your local Social Security office for help.
Social Security will never send or email you an invitation asking you to sign up for a My Social Security account, but crooks may try this route to get your personal information. The administration says not to trust any link that purports to be from Social Security that doesn't END in .gov/.

In an effort to support solar for more residents of the Navajo Nation, Salt River Project has agreed to purchase solar photovoltaic Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA), an enterprise of the Navajo Nation. The $220,000, five-year purchase agreement will be used to acquire additional off-grid systems for tribal residents.
A REC is proof that 1 megawatt-hour of electricity was generated from a renewable-energy resource. Once the electricity is generated and the provider has fed the electricity into the grid or the off-grid user has utilized the electricity, the RECs can be sold on the open market as a commodity.
"This is an opportunity that we see as a direct benefit for our solar energy customers," said Navajo Tribal Utility Authority General Manager Walter Haase. "With this partnership, SRP is helping us help families who otherwise might not be able to have any access to electrical power. This program will provide that basic access."
Since 1999, Navajo Tribal Utility Authority has offered solar photovoltaic power systems to its low-income residential customers who do not have access to the electric grid. Currently, NTUA rents 263 solar photovoltaic systems to Navajo tribal members. NTUA is also adding solar systems adjacent to some of its facilities. The system in Chinle is completed and the systems in Crownpoint, Fort Defiance and Shonto are expected to be completed later this year.
In February 2012, Navajo Tribal Utility Authority also initiated a partnership with the owners of the Navajo Generating Station (NGS), of which SRP owns a 21.7% share, on a project to extend electrical power to families living within the LeChee area. The project will bring electricity to more than 62 LeChee-area homes over a three-year period and will be joint-funded between NTUA, NGS, and the LeChee Chapter, with NGS owners contributing $2 million in funding over three years beginning in 2012.
"SRP is excited about the opportunity to partner with NTUA in providing more people on the Navajo Nation with access to electricity," said Charlie Duckworth, Senior Director of SRP Energy Management. "The purchase adds to the number of distributed photovoltaic systems available on the Navajo Nation and improves the welfare of the Navajo people by providing more tribal members access to electricity."

As more and more people continue down the path of virtualizing their environments, one area that often gets overlooked in the process are the needs and the problems associated with storage. To find out more about this topic, I was able to speak with Mark Davis, CEO of Virsto Software, a company expecting to launch its first product by year's end. The company believes that storage is badly broken within the virtual world, and it plans on moving storage into the virtual age to keep pace with servers.
[ Keep up with the latest virtualization news with InfoWorld's virtualization newsletter and visit the InfoWorld Virtualization Topic Center for news, blogs, essentials, and information about InfoWorld virtualization events. ]
InfoWorld Virtualization Report: At one level, virtual servers work just like physical servers. So a lot of people wonder, what's wrong with using the same storage techniques and technologies in the virtual world that we use with physical servers?
Virsto: The beauty of the hypervisor is that anything that worked on physical servers, in theory, will work on virtual servers. It's that promise, combined with the many benefits of virtualization, that makes virtualization so compelling, but saying that old tools designed for physical servers will work for virtual servers is not the same as saying they work optimally. As a VMware founder has been quoted as saying, "virtualization didn't break the applications, but it certainly broke the infrastructure."
Why did it get broken? Because the designers of infrastructure for physical servers made fundamental assumptions that are no longer true in the world of the hypervisor. This is abundantly true in the realm of data storage.
InfoWorld: Can you tell us, then, what are some of the fundamental assumptions about storage and storage management from the physical world that are false for virtual servers?
Virsto: One that is well known is the assumption that the server has plenty of headroom. Backup is a CPU and I/O hog, and that was OK when we were running servers at 7 percent utilization. Now we've consolidated servers and no longer have that headroom, so firing up a backup job can really slow down the app being backed up. But the problem is pernicious, because all the other VMs on the physical server are also impacted. Completely unacceptable, and this isn't the only place where the assumption of unshared resources bites us.
Another now-false assumption is about the nature of OS images. In the physical world, the ratio of OS instances to boxes was 1. VM technology blows this up -- not only with all the live VMs, but all the other images that are suspended, saved for things like backup or rollback. It is not hard to build a datacenter with tens, even hundreds, of thousands of VM images. That sucks up a lot of disk space.
The irony is that the vast majority of the bits inside those images are exactly the same, because the VMs are cloned from a small set of golden masters, and a lot of the bits in a VM don't change as the VM runs. De-duplication could help here, but in this use case, de-dupe is more of a bug than a feature. If the storage infrastructure was built right, dupes wouldn't be created in the first place.
A couple other assumptions vitiated by virtual servers are that storage provisioning is a relatively infrequent activity, and that clustering of servers is rare and usually small scale. In the VM world, every creation of a VM requires provisioning of storage, and to take advantage of features like live migration across physical servers, we want all our servers to be in one big cluster.
One of the assumptions most aggravating to IT managers relates to the nature of hardware. In the old physical world, serious server applications were run on big, proprietary, expensive servers. It made sense for storage to match. Now, servers are small, non-proprietary, and spectacularly inexpensive. In stark contrast, storage systems are eerily reminiscent of the mainframe and minicomputer of yesteryear. The assumption that storage should be proprietary, should tie advanced software features to a particular brand of hardware, and be super expensive doesn't make sense.
InfoWorld: How do these false assumptions cause problems for people running virtual servers?
Virsto: The first symptom is that, all things being equal, virtual servers consume 15 to 25 percent more storage than physical servers. VM sprawl has a direct hardware budget impact, as well as an ongoing operating cost burden.
Second is the VM I/O blender phenomenon. Take a server that can do 1,000 I/O operations per second (IOPS) with one OS running. Now start eight VMs running the benchmark simultaneously. Aggregate IOPS can fall by 80 percent. Across all eight VMs, you're getting around 200 IOPS, or about 25 IOPS per VM. For good reason, IT architects are loath to virtualize I/O intensive applications.
Third, IT operations people find that basic storage management gets much more complex. Old backup techniques break down in a production virtual server environment. Provisioning complexity and performance management become burdensome. The hypervisor has many benefits, but simplifying storage management isn't one of them.
The fourth outcome of invalidated assumptions is that we spend far too much on storage. Some sophisticated IT organizations have done post hoc analysis of their virtualization ROI, and the results are frustrating. As expected, the TCO of servers was significantly reduced. However, incremental spending on storage -- more hardware, higher-end hardware, more array software licenses, and increased operating expenses -- swamped the savings on the server side. In hindsight, server virtualization didn't save them any money. A dirty little secret of the virtualization industry.
InfoWorld: So with that said, what do you believe is the technical solution IT people are using to deal with these problems today?
Virsto: If you've been in IT long enough, you already know the answer. When all else fails, get a bigger hammer.
Many of the issues discussed above can be handled by throwing enough hardware and money at the problem. A cruel paradox of server virtualization is that the more we commoditize servers -- to the great benefit of enterprise and cloud datacenters -- the more we have to invest in mainframe-style storage to take advantage of the promise of virtual servers.
Want to dynamically allocate server workloads? No problem, you'll just need a bulge bracket SAN. Want to deal with the capacity bloat caused by VM sprawl? Just buy a higher-end storage system, load it up with expensive software features -- oh, and you'll need more specialized cache in the array.
The alternative is to scale back on deployment of virtualization. Don't fully load your servers, so you get a lower consolidation ratio. Or leave the I/O-intensive apps on physical servers. Certainly an option, but if the obstacles were removed, IT pros would virtualize a lot more of their apps.
Sometimes, overprovisioning is an acceptable answer. This time-honored technique is a standard part of an IT architect's toolkit. But any time IT pros systematically solve problems by overprovisioning, there's an opportunity to invent a more clever solution. Come to think of it, that's how we got server virtualization in the first place.
InfoWorld: So tell us, in your opinion, how should the industry proceed?
Virsto: IT pros, resellers, consultants, integrators, bloggers, and analysts need to get educated and open a dialog. Vendors love to gloss over the issues or claim that if only you're willing to spend enough, the problems have already been solved. For organizations that can throw money at the problem, that's fine, but what about the rest of us? What's really needed is fundamental innovation in storage for VMs, just as the hypervisor itself was a seminal innovation.
Vendors should be looking for ways to solve the problem without overprovisioning or requiring a particular brand of hardware. Vendors have a natural motivation to not solve this problem because that means you'll buy less of their stuff. But as Michael Dell recently said, "any time a new technology comes along that's good for customers, you get in the way of it at your own peril." It's not for no reason that the man's a billionaire.
Server virtualization is such a brilliant invention. In the early days, the naysayers were many, and traditional server hardware and OS vendors were resistant because it threatened their proprietary franchises. IT pros, on the other hand, didn't care so much about vendor hegemony and instinctively knew virtualization was a better way to build server infrastructure. As technology barriers are knocked down, we reduce the cases where physical servers make more sense than virtual. The next big barriers that should be smashed are in the storage realm.
Thanks again to Mark Davis, CEO of Virsto Software, for speaking with me.

I had never thought about this but it makes a lot of sense. It was either in last Sunday's Parade Magazine or the USA Today Weekly that come with my Sunday newspapers.
This is from author and self-proclaimed"food explorer", Marcy Smothers. "Roasting a chicken? Break out a blow dryer. Really! Use the no heat setting to dry the skin. "The circulating air will help draw the moisture from the skin, giving your chicken a crispy crust when roasted in a hot, dry oven."
This applies to oven roasted but bet it works also in the moister environment of a covered kettle or smoker.

Rain forests, deserts, hot water springs, polar regions, glaciers, cones and seeds…All these are only some of the habitat of insects…These tiny miraculous beings living mostly on lands have spread all over the world because of their extraordinary structures. One of the properties that protect insects from threats in their environments is the "chitin" that covers them almost like a shield.
Mostly an outer skeleton (exoskeleton) made up of chitin covers the bodies of insects. Chitin, which is a hard substance, provides strength to the outer skeleton. This skeleton protects the insect from external threats and perils miraculously.
The most amazing property of chitin is its strength similar to an iron armor. Antennas, wings, tracheas or feathers may also contain chitin. Furthermore even the edges of the insect wings may become as sharp as knives because of chitin.
However because chitinous exoskeletons do not grow parallel to the growth of insects, some insect species may be obliged to change their skins especially during their development. This is a gradual process. As the dimensions of their bodies change so do their exoskeletons. There are even insects that change their chitinous exoskeletons 30 times throughout their lives.
These are only some of the amazing features of insect communities. Almighty Allah, the infinite possessor of knowledge, equips all insects with flawless systems and makes each one of them a sign of Creation. As Allah relates us in the following verse:
"Among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and all the creatures He has spread about in them…" (Surat ash-Shura, 29)

LAKE CITY, Fla. - Police in Lake City have arrested a 28-year-old man who they said shot another main in the face with a flare gun Wednesday morning.
Police said 27-year-old Enrique Cutts was sitting in a vehicle and was approached by Cory Douglas when Douglas shot him just before 5:30 a.m.
Douglas fled the scene but was later located and arrested, police said. He was taken to Gainesville for medical treatment.
Police said they found Cutts standing next to the car in the 300 block of Northeast Martin Luther King Street and bleeding from the face. Cutts told an officer he was sitting in the front seat of his mother's car while
parked when Douglas approached the vehicle, opened the driver's side door and shot him in the face with a flare gun.
After the shot, the interior of the car caught on fire, but was quickly extinguished, police said.
Cutts could not provide officers any information as to why he was shot by Douglas. Cutts was also taken to Gainesville for treatment of his injuries.
Douglas was found at his home. He was arrested on charges of aggravated battery and criminal mischief and booked into the Columbia County Detention Center on $20,000 bond.

"Cheap and easy" is rarely a good thing.
"Cheap and easy" are the only two positive descriptive terms for spring collars. Because they are cheap, they seem to be the favorites of most gym owners. Clearly, it is not because they work well. This is how they work. When they actually fit on a barbell end, you merely have to squeeze them
and they slide right on. The benefits end there.
As you may have guessed, this Atomic Athletic Bomb Proof Bulletin is about barbell and dumbbell collars. It's true, I am a little obsessive compulsive about the collars I use. Like many terms in this industry, it is easy to come up with innuendo, but I will try to keep things serious. Barbell and dumbbell collars have a genuine and serious purpose. They are meant to hold the plates on the end of your bar. Because of the ways barbells are used, relative to the ways dumbbells are used, I feel the issue is typically most serious for dumbbells.
Two Types of Collars
There are two types of collars: screw type collars and compression collars. Screw collars have what is called a set screw that is pressed into the bar end. Compression collars reduce the inside diameter of collar to hold the bar. There are several ways this can be accomplished.
Spring Collars are a perfect example of a compression collar. Generally, I highly recommend a compression collar, except when it is a spring. Spring collars do not have a flat face, so your plates are always going to be floppy and loose. More than that, their springiness reduces over time and they eventually become so loose that they simply don't hold. Of course, that plays right into the other reason I hate them. I also dislike them from a business perspective. When I worked for York Barbell, we got them in loose shipments in giant wooden crates. I found that about thirty percent of them were so loose, right from the factory, that they had to be discarded. Someone had to stand there and try out every one, otherwise the customer would get bad collars. I really don't like spring collars.
Spin-Lock Collars
I like Spin-Lock Collars. The spin-lock collars most people are familiar with are used on Olympic bar
ends, have wing nuts, weigh about 5 pounds each and are easily identified by the large "star" shaped part. I sell the ones made by York Canada. I had one customer pissed off at me because York USA shows a crappy Chinese version on their web site. The photo in this bulletin is of the ones we sell. Anyway, they are lined with leather and the wing nuts compress the collar onto the bar. The spinning star shaped end is threaded on the inside and used for tightening the plates down. In an ideal world, this is the very best type of collar to use. In fact, it is the only type of collar I will use on Olympic Dumbbell Handles, especially for lifts like Dumbbell Cleans, the One Hand Dumbbell Snatch and most importantly on the One Hand Dumbbell Swing. I don't want plates that are loose, flopping around, or worse yet, sliding off. Any of those scenarios smack of danger, if you pardon the pun.
Allen Collars
I also have some awesome Stainless Steel Standard Size Allen Type Spin-Lock Collars. These
are over kill and I love them. Each collar has a double set (that's 4, if you're counting) of allen screws. So, not only do these spin-lock, but you can anchor the spin-lock with a pair of allen screws. These are now my favorite for the One Hand Dumbbell Swing. For that lift, I actually use a proto-type pair of pro-style dumbbell bars, with steel end plates. The way I set it up is with the end plate on the end that is sitting on the ground, then the other end gets the collar. I have an old, as in antique, knurled dumbbell handle like you would get with the old York Barbell Aristocrat Set. This is my spacer for grip. Then the collar tightens everything down, so there is no slop or rotation. You can see the lift at this link:
Regular Allen Collars
Our regular Standard Size Allen Collars are significantly cheaper than the ones above, but they are also compression type collars that hold like crazy. I use these all the time. For standard size bars, they have become my "go to" collars when I am making up a dumbbell, odd-ball barbell, leverage/mace set-up, you name it. They are really narrow with a single allen type counter-sunk screw that actually closes the ring size of the collar. The allen screw is very low profile, so it does not seem to catch on your clothes, like wrenchless screws can.
Little Allen Collar Story
Our Standard Size Allen Collars are made in the USA out of real spring steel. Back in 2007, the price went up on these, so I tried out a knock-off version that was made in India. My analysis was "total crap". I know, not very scientific, but they had the size off by a couple thousandths... too small. I figured, I would just pry them open, maybe the spring steel had compressed in shipping. Wrong. They just broke. End of the knock-off test. I went back to my trusted American made steel and good old American machine shop and raised the price. There really is no substitute. Lesson learned.
Set Screw Collars
We have many more collar types that fit into the set-screw category: Classic Red Wrenchless Screw Collars, Heavy Duty 3/4 Pound Wrenchless Screw Collars, Chrome Standard Barbell Collars, Olympic Allen Collars and many more.
Once you use the right collars for the right job and then have to go to a buddy's place and use the wrong collars, you will suddenly understand the importance of getting it right. Use the right tool for the right job, or lift, as the case may be. Beware of "Cheap and Easy".
All the best,

POLICE in West Mercia and Warwickshire are being given extra training and resources to help support people with dementia.
As part of this week's Dementia Awareness Week, both forces have signed up to the Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Action Alliance.
Officers and staff are being encouraged to pledge to support people with condition by signing up as Dementia Friends and the forces are developing an electronic iCard, providing information on the symptoms of the disease, practical tips for dealing with people suffering with it and guidance on how to handle incidents involving people with dementia.
Inspector Emma Wright is leading the campaign and said it was important people with dementia got the support they needed.
"Locally we are working with the Alzheimer's Society to create opportunities for a number of our staff to become trained as dementia champions," she said.
"Our aim is to train staff in public facing roles such as Safer Neighbourhood Teams who are happy to promote understanding and run awareness sessions within the communities they serve.
"We are also aiming to train staff from other departments such as Protecting Vulnerable People and Learning and Development, who will be happy to promote understanding and run awareness sessions within the organisation to recruit more colleagues as Dementia Friends.
"Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we will also be launching our Dementia Action Plan, to ensure our working processes with partner agencies around people affected by dementia are fit for purpose.
"This is so we can assist people in getting the support they need, or enabling them to provide support to others."
More than 800,000 people in the UK suffer with dementia, with this figure expected to hit one million by 2021.
The Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Action Alliance coordinator for the West Midlands Jeevan Jones said he was pleased the two forces had signed up.
"Police officers perform a vital role in the community and their action plan will ensure that people living with dementia are protected and supported, helping us achieve our vision of more dementia friendly communities in across England," he said.

"These invitations are of very nice quality, the design is very stunning. I like that the invitations are printed on good and firm material, not flimsy or thin in the least. Loved the coordinating print on the back of invitation.They were perfect! I was even more delighted that when they were received, I started getting texts and phone calls about how beautiful the invitations were, stating stunning, beautiful, sophisticated, and very classy!"
"I added the Pearl paper and they turned out beautiful. My daughter loved the invites and the Thank you cards I had gotten for her too."
"The invitation turned out prettier than I imagined. The text and colors were amazing. The gold shimmer envelopes were the perfect touch - high quality/rich looking."
"This website was most help...fully described items. Made if very easy to order, step by step. Very prompt delivery. Item beautifully done and well made."
"I was very happy with my purchase of the Garden Gowned invitations for my daughter's Bridal Shower. Although they were smaller than I thought them to be (I didn't pay attention to the size measurements) I was very happy with how lovely they are. The design is beautiful on both the front and the back. Service and delivery were prompt and professional. I was sorry I did not order any of the matching extras, so I think I will go back and place another order, it's a lovely set!"

Yeah, it works by blocking a radius around a GPS point - with the key being the exact frequency of the RADAR. If you put your 9500ix on spec mode or whatever it's called - you will see what I mean. The chances of him having the exact same frequency of the stationary radar are VERY slim - and if WAS using the same frequency as the sign, he won't get a reading since his gun wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two (the stationary wouldn't get a reading either)...
Point is - the detector will decipher between the two.
I still need to post on the REDLINE. I would say at this point that it IS more sensitive than the V1, but I want to take one good long trip before posting about this. Compared to the 9500xi, for city use - hard to say. When I use my phone with it, it has most of the 9500 capability (except auto lock out - I have to manually lock it out). It's definitely more sensitive - just like a V1 is compared the the 9500, but for most people, I think the 9500 is a perfect choice.

Alsom I agree, the features of the 9500ix have really impressed me. Im glad that i chose it over the V1, mainly because i do 95% city driving (which sucks with a 6MT lol)
hmm, good read. After driving for 17 years and being pulled over 23 or so times, probably time to invest in one of these. Then again, I have talked my way out of every one of the speeding tickets, so do I really need it?2015 - Cayman GTS - Stock

Will Christina Aguilera Be Leaving 'The Voice' After Season 3?
Are Christina Aguilera's days on 'The Voice' numbered? Will the singer — who is working on her seventh album — bounce from the reality show after this season is over? Possibly.
With the fast tracked third season underway, Aguilera may indeed be fatigued by the series. She reportedly told Billboard (courtesy of Perez Hilton, as the Billboard source is MIA) that the show has prevented her from pursuing her own goals.
"[It] kept me away from my heart, which is creating my own music," Xtina reportedly said. "It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business. But I was starting to get really worried and concerned that I wouldn't have the time to go and be an artist again."
That's a valid concern for any artist, especially one that is mounting a comeback from a flop, as Aguilera is.
But while she confessed to being frustrated by the switch of priorities, with her musical career on the back burner while she fosters others, Xtina did qualify her statements, saying, "I'll probably be back. I just need to do my thing for a minute then I can come back and be that much better of a coach."
So does that mean that Xtina will leave after Season 3 to go be an artist and pursue her "heart" for the time being and return for other seasons, now that the show is producing episodes in fall and spring, as opposed to only in the spring? It's not exactly clear, but seems like a real possibility.
It's true that all of the coaches need to tend to their own careers and the idea of rotating judges was tossed around when it was announced that the show would produce two seasons per year.

Write Us A Player Review : Contest winners!
It's been a little more than a month since Tobe's Vertical Adventure was released, and I want to thank everyone again for the support. I hope the game was as much fun for you, as it was for us to work on.
I'm glad that many of you had tried and enjoyed the game, and some have gone a furthur step to help out other gamers on the Steam forum with the bugs, creating walkthrough videos and even our very own gamefaq page. It was great to find out what you guys think about the game, sharing your thoughts on it, how it can be improve, or even just sharing the experience of having a partner playing the game with you.
It's amazing to read through every post, and I really wish I can give out more, but unfortunately, we only have 3 copies of the box set left, and hence, there can only be 3 winners. That said, the winners are...
Congratulation! I will be getting in touch with each of you for your address, so keep a look out on your email & private message (Steam).
With all the feedback gathered, I am happy to announce that we will be sending Tobe on bigger and better adventures in the future. Things are in pre-development phase, but who knows, we might have something to show soon. Stalk us on our blog, facebook and twitter if you're up for another crumbling cave in! Fame and Fortune awaits!
