"BDEW Treffpunkt Netze 2014" ("Focus on networks")
BDEW submits industry solution for the improvement of investment conditions for distribution networks and related areas
Unnecessary delays in network expansion should be eliminated
At the industry event, "Treffpunkt Netze 2014" on 25 and 26 March in Berlin, the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW) will present an industry solution for the improvement of investment conditions for distribution networks and related areas. This was announced by Roger Kohlmann, member of the BDEW General Executive Management Board, today: "The Energiewende and the expansion of renewable energies will only succeed if the necessary networks to transport the electricity are built." The BDEW has already repeatedly pointed out that the investment conditions are problematic, in particular for distribution network operators. This leads to unnecessary delays in the urgently needed network expansion. We have created an industry solution which ensures that the investment backlog in relation to distribution networks can be dissolved."
Following proposals for further developing the energy market with the strategic reserve and the decentralised capacity market, as well as the reform proposals for the German Renewable Energy Sources Act, the BDEW now presents a workable industry solution for the network side. This is an important contribution to the improvement in investment conditions announced in the German government's coalition agreement. The German Federal Network Agency will present its evaluation report by the end of the year and this will set the course for the third regulation period. "Our aim was to submit a workable proposal for the further development of the regulatory framework for distribution networks in good time. With this, we have achieved our aim", said Kohlmann.
The BDEW has developed an application process for companies which would be simple to implement in the scope of incentive regulation. In this way, the problem of delays can be solved for all distribution network operators. Basically, the process involves the increased capital costs from the investment being included, without delay, in the upper revenue limit of the network operator. The network operators should decide individually, on the basis of their investment requirements and the existing network regulation, whether an application is filed or not. In this way, the regulatory implementation and financial effect will be limited to genuine problem cases. "An application process has been developed which is practicable for network operators and regulatory authorities, which can be simply implemented and which avoids the disadvantages of the indiscriminate "watering can effect", explained Kohlmann. In the development of its application model, the industry has consciously built on the proposal to eliminate delays submitted by the German Laender in autumn 2013 in order specifically to show the Land regulatory authorities, which are responsible in Germany for most of the distribution network operators, a pathway acceptable for both sides.
After a three year discussion between ministries, authorities and industry, a solution is now on the table. "This industry proposal is a real breakthrough. In the next ten years, as a result of the massive increase in decentralised photovoltaic and wind energy facilities, investment of around 25 billion euros is required in the distribution networks alone. Failure to invest adequately in this area will either lead to unnecessary delays in the expansion of renewable energies or will foreseeably jeopardise the system security. "Therefore, an improvement of the investment conditions not only makes sense from the perspective of network operators but it is also absolutely essential for the realisation of the Energiewende", said Kohlmann.

... have nothing in common, one might say. But when a wood turner and a needleworker (or whatever I should be calling myself) put their heads together, many things can happen. And I mean good things :)
József and I have never met in person, but we got acquainted with each other's work on Facebook, in the "Hungarian Craftsmen in Romania" group. It was about the same time that we both thought that we should try and combine our efforts and create something together, so we started discussing details and exchanging sketches... We even had a "dress rehearsal" - a little photo manipulation with one of my embroideries cropped and fit into his wooden frames.
And that was a GO. For the first part of our teamwork József sent me some of his wooden frames for jewelry and I sent him the embroidered parts for a couple of earrings, to see what really happens.
Here are the earrings finished by József:
Not too bad for a first try, is it? :)
I am still waiting for my turn to play with the wooden frames, but I do have to finish another commission first...
As for the second part of this cooperation, there's still some painting and polishing and designing to be done, so if you don't mind, I'd rather keep it a secret for now.
Have fun creating, Everyone!

Asthma Inhalers to Incorporate Adherence-friendly Features
Asthma Inhalers Evolving to Incorporate Adherence-friendly Features
Greystone Research Associates Examines New-Generation Devices and their Impact on Patient Behavior
Amherst, NH, February 11, 2013 – The inhaled respiratory market represents one of the largest categories of drug spending, with continuing growth due to the increasing diagnosis of conditions such as asthma and COPD. As the incidence of these conditions increases, there exists a growing and significant opportunity to improve and expand current treatment of diseases of the upper respiratory tract.
Asthma continues to be a health segment that presents challenges to the caregiver community. Patient adherence with prescribing instructions and treatment protocols remains sub-optimal across all patient categories, but particularly for the young and the elderly. This has led to significant interest on the part of device and combination product providers directed toward the development easier-to-use inhalers. The new generation of oral asthma inhalers incorporates features and design elements that address this initiative, enabling devices that are more user-friendly and safe, and that as a result support the goal of improved patient adherence.
The current trend in asthma inhaler evolution has seen an increase in the incorporation of ergonomic features by device designers aimed at increasing patient receptiveness. Recent inhaler designs have approached the goals of improved usability and patient adherence from a number of distinct directions, including dose preparation technology, dose packaging, novel formulation technology, dosing confirmation, and symptoms monitoring.
A comprehensive analysis of advanced feature devices for asthma drug therapeutics is included in a new and comprehensive report. The report, Asthma Inhalers – The New Generation: Devices, Markets, Players and Prospects , includes assessments of devices, device features and asthma therapeutic markets, analysis of market factors, and profiles of market participants.

Acquisition Management - Incident Procurement - Virtual Incident PRocurement (VIPR)
VIPR Status
Updated Friday, August 4, 2017: The VIPR system is up. Users may continue to experience proxy errors; however, diagnostics are being performed which require users to be in the system. Please operate normally and if you experience proxy errors, do not call the helpdesk UNLESS your work is stopped by these errors.
ATTENTION: Please view the Vendor Application page for important information about using the vendor application and to log into the application.
2017 Solicitations Are Now Available - (New)
The 2017 solicitations are being re-solicited for Faller and Faller Module; Fuel Tender; Heavy Equipment (Dozer, Excavator, Tractor Plow, and Transport); Mechanic with Service Truck (Heavy Equipment Type 1 and Light Auto/Heavy Truck Type 2); Tent and Canopy; and Vehicle with Driver (Passenger Vehicle and Truck). Use the VIPR vendor application to respond to these solicitations.
"Generic" Solicitations Information
Contracting Officers may be issuing "generic" solicitations, which are designed to solicit for various local equipment and services not listed on the National Solicitation Plan for I-BPAs, but may be identified on the Method of Hire (MOH) chart located in the Interagency Incident Business Management Handbook (IIBMH). An example of a generic solicitation might be "Short School Type Bus." Vendors can use the "Generic" resource group in the vendor application to add their resources that do not fall into any of the standard resource groups into the vendor application. Vendors will follow the same quote submittal process, but will use their generic resources to submit quotes on the "generic" solicitations.
Virtual Incident Procurement (VIPR) is a web-based Forest Service application designed to administer preseason Incident Blanket Purchase Agreements (I-BPAs - formerly referred to as Emergency Equipment Rental Agreements or EERAs). The application supports the 2005 USDA-OIG audit findings requiring the Forest Service to implement a more rigorous approach to managing preseason incident agreements.
VIPR has the functionality to solicit, award, and manage preseason I-BPAs, and was implemented nationwide in January of 2009. In future years, VIPR will automate other preseason incident procurements, such as aviation contracts, crew contracts, and mobile shower and food services.
VIPR is designed to front-end load other systems within the business lifecycle of preseason incident procurements, such as ROSS, I-Suite and the Aviation Business System. Electronically sharing pertinent information through to payment of contractors by the Forest Service will reduce errors and speed transactions.
Vendors should become familiar with the requirements and complete preparations to be eligible to be awarded an agreement with the Forest Service. For more information on what vendors need to do, visit the "Being a Vendor" page. Vendors should also watch the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) Web site for the VIPR solicitations to which they want to respond.
For information on the types of equipment the Forest Service has solicited for this year and in future years, vendors should view the National Solicitation Plan for I-BPAs.
To learn more about VIPR, use the links on the left menu or contact the Interagency Incident Applications Helpdesk at 866-224-7677 or https://iia-hd.peckham-enclave.us/ with questions or suggestion.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick Welcome Twins
UPDATE: According to ABC News, reps for Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick hadve released info on the new arrivals, including names and birth weights.
"Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are delighted to announce the healthy arrival of their two daughters," reads the reps' statement. "Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick weighed 5 lbs, 11 oz and Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 pounds. Both Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker's side. The babies are doing beautifully and the entire family is over the moon."
Congratulations, it's two girls!
People magazine reports that Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband, Matthew Broderick, have welcomed twin daughters into the world, the result of a surrogate pregnancy.
According to a spokesperson for East Ohio Regional Hospital, "everything's good" with the new arrivals, who were born on Tuesday.
Parker's Sex and the City co-star, Kim Cattrall, offered her thoughts on the births shortly after the announcement.
"I'm thrilled for Sarah, Matthew and [their son] James Wilkie," Cattrall said. "More 'fabulous girls' are joining our SATC family."
The couple's son, James Wilkie, was born in October 2002, but Parker has long made it known that she would also like a daughter.
"She has definitely wanted to have a girl," her SATC co-host Mario Cantone notes. "She's going to have so much fun bringing the two girls up and teaching them to be young ladies."
Congratulations to the happy couple and their newly expanded family.

About Burn folder 1.0
This application is no longer needed on Mac OS X 10.4 as this functionality is included in the Finder.
Well, my dad got a new eMac and asked me for an easy way to burn a CD from a folder. So I created this small application. You just drop a folder on it, insert a CD-R or DVD-R, hit the Write button and your CD is burned.
Because of a bug with Mac OS X 10.3 in the Speed Test, currently no Speed Test is performed before burning is started. So burning may fail if the source folder can't deliver data fast enought. (e.g. with a folder from a network volume with a bad or low performance connection.)
This application is freeware and provided as is. Donations are welcome.

Colt 45 writer options Stark
EXCLUSIVE: Colt 45 writer Fathi Beddiar to direct Edward Bunker crime-thriller.
Colt 45 writer Fathi Beddiar and former Celluloid Dreams sales executive Annick Mahnert have optioned the rights to cult writer and actor Edward Bunker's crime novel Stark.
Beddiar will make his directorial debut on the English-language, LA-set project, which he has also adapted. Annick Mahnert is producing.
Originally set in the 1960's, Beddiar's moder-day adaptation of the posthumously published novel will follow a DEA Task Force informant who goes rogue. Beddiar researched the story in LA with local police agencies.
Former career criminal Bunker, who played Mr Blue in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, wrote novels No Beast So Fierce, which inspired Dustin Hoffman's Straight Time, and Animal Factory, adapted by Steve Buscemi.
Beddiar's anticipated action-thriller Colt 45, from director Fabrice Du Welz and The Artist producer Thomas Langmann, is currently in post-production.
Bunker's estate is represented by Jeanne Field from Windfall Management. Beddiar is represented by Rosalie Cimino at UBBA.

Crossbar arrays based on two-terminal resistive switches have been proposed as a leading candidate for future memory and logic applications. Here we demonstrate a high-density, fully operational hybrid crossbar/CMOS system composed of a transistor- and diode-less memristor crossbar array vertically integrated on top of a CMOS chip by taking advantage of the intrinsic nonlinear characteristics of the memristor element. The hybrid crossbar/CMOS system can reliably store complex binary and multilevel 1600 pixel bitmap images using a new programming scheme.

Two-hybrid System Techniques
Screening techniques first developed in yeast to identify genes encoding interacting proteins. Variations are used to evaluate interplay between proteins and other molecules. Two-hybrid techniques refer to analysis for protein-protein interactions, one-hybrid for DNA-protein interactions, three-hybrid interactions for RNA-protein interactions or ligand-based interactions. Reverse n-hybrid techniques refer to analysis for mutations or other small molecules that dissociate known interactions.
Data Display
The visual display of data in a man-machine system. An example is when data is called from the computer and transmitted to a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY or LIQUID CRYSTAL display.
Data Compression
Information application based on a variety of coding methods to minimize the amount of data to be stored, retrieved, or transmitted. Data compression can be applied to various forms of data, such as images and signals. It is used to reduce costs and increase efficiency in the maintenance of large volumes of data.
An optical disk storage system for computers on which data can be read or from which data can be retrieved but not entered or modified. A CD-ROM unit is almost identical to the compact disk playback device for home use.
Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinases, 90-kda
A family of ribosomal protein S6 kinases that are structurally distinguished from RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN S6 KINASES, 70-KDA by their apparent molecular size and the fact they contain two functional kinase domains. Although considered RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN S6 KINASES, members of this family are activated via the MAP KINASE SIGNALING SYSTEM and have been shown to act on a diverse array of substrates that are involved in cellular regulation such as RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN S6 and CAMP RESPONSE ELEMENT-BINDING PROTEIN.

When J.D. asks to do a three person jump hug, it actually is four people because Izzy is on Carla's back.
Turk is meant to be playing a co-op campaign on a single XBox 360 but when the visual comes up it clearly isn't split-screen which would be necessary on the single console.
When J.D. and Turk are playing the Xbox 360, the light on J.D.'s controller is not on meaning it is not on.
Turk can be seen using a blue Transformers shirt with a picture of Optimus Prime, a rainbow and the number 84. That exact shirt design can be found at www.nerdyshirts.com
The game was clearly described as a two player game, so it wouldn't have been possible for Carla to play it let alone win it several times as a single player.
Turk and J.D. (and later the Janitor and Carla) can be seen playing the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 controller J.D. is using is a wireless controller, the controller Turk is using is a wired controller with the wire cut off.
Dr. Donna (Debra Azar), who delivered Jack in "My Karma", delivers Sam Dorian in this episode.
When Dr. Cox is asking for help with his daughter, Jennifer Dylan, Dr. Kelso is drinking from a mug labeled "Plomox". Julie Keaton, played by Heather Locklear, was Plomox's representative in "My First Step" and "My Fruit Cups".
Turk says that two players are needed to play the game, however, every time the screen is shown there is only one person playing and Carla never mentions a partner during her previous victories (including at least one all night session).
Featured Music:
"Heartbeats" by Jose Gonzalez
"Down Under" by Colin Hay
Turk's Xbox 360 has two controllers - one with a detachable battery and one with a smooth back. In the scene where Carla takes over for Janitor in the Xbox 360 game, every time the camera cuts between Turk and Carla the controllers seem to be switching hands between them.
The woman, Nurse Shirley, who J.D. thinks is familiar, looks like Laverne. Laverne died in season six, episode 15, "My Long Goodbye". This is because they were played by the same actress, Aloma Wright.
While Carla uses terms from the Halo series, such as Warthog and Jackal, the visual that is shown on television is not from the Halo series.
J.D. Carla, let him finish!
Carla: (hands J.D. the console) You can have it!
J.D.: Family comes first, Turk
Dr. Cox: Regardless, you interns are the future of this hospital. If you don't treat patients, you won't learn. What I want you to do is walk over to Mr. Setzer and say these words, "I'm your doctor. Deal with it." Can you say that?
Dr. Cox: "He doesn't want to be treated by interns", with the I dotted with a little heart and a little frownie face at the end. It's incredible. Your handwriting's actually more annoying than your voice.
Kim: You're a piece of crap!
J.D.: You're doing great.
Kim: I hate your hair!
J.D.: Impossible, nobody does.
Dr. Kelso: Of course you had to break up with him, no one you love should ever sell your car without asking and then blow the money on meth.
Dr. Kelso: I swear you could line up a hundred gay men and Harrison would pick out the attention starved bipolar ex-con every time.
Dr. Cox: But if you use the words "emotional roller coaster" I am O U T.
J.D.: Deal. I just feel like I'm on this emotional......ride.
Dr. Cox: Do you have the time to give my daughter a shot now that you've ruined your life?
J.D.: Will you talk me through what I'm going through?
Dr. Cox: Absolutely not.
Elliot: You're having a baby! Wanna do a celebratory jump hug?
J.D.: Nah, Turk Carla and I tried one earlier. Turned out to be lame.
Elliot: Oh please, you probably loved it and just don't want to admit it.
J.D.'s narration: God, she knows me!
Janitor: That sounded like criticism, and I don't respond well to criticism.
Carla: Whatever, you still suck.
Janitor: I'm Out
Dr. Kelso: I would give her a shot, Perry, but this is scotch and I'm all Hasselhoffed out.
Dr. Cox: Look I know that I called you at home and threatened to kill your dog, but thanks for coming in Dr. Callahan.
Dr. Callahan: No problem, it's not like you need a lot of sleep to practice medicine on small children.
Kim: I deserve to be with somebody who doesn't cross his fingers and hope that he falls in love with me, maybe, someday.
Kim: Would you even be with me if i wasn't dropping this kid?
J.D.: I don't know how to answer that.
Kim: I think you just did. You know what? We're done.
Kim: There's a lot of guys out there who think I'm a good catch! The words "cute as a button" have been thrown around on more than one occasion!
J.D.: I know, Kim. You're amazing.
Kim: Stop calling me amazing!
Turk: You realize while you're talking his alien buddies are shooting you in the face?
Janitor: Well that's just rude.
Janitor: Forgive me, space goblin. If it were not for the novice setting and the 10 cups of coffee I had earlier today you might have bested me in the marsh of Kathrik. We're not too different, you and I, despite your arm mounted cannon and your insatiable taste for human flesh.
Turk: Ok all we have to do here is kill space goblins.
Janitor: And what's my motivation?
Turk: Your motivation is to kill space goblins.
Dr. Cox: All the best there, Kim. Please note the entire world is hoping that all the dominant genes are yours.
Dr. Cox: Over the next couple of years plenty of doctors and going to be poking and prodding her, and I would like her to see me as her father and not another white coat that she will forever associate with pain.
Jordan: Totally legitimate argument, if three month olds didn't have the memory of an earthworm.
J.D.: That's my baby pager. I'm having a baby!
Turk: Oh my god I'm gonna be a bluncle!
Josphine: (Chasing Dr. Cox with her high pitched voice)Dr. Cox, we heard that you were waiting for the pediatrician!
Dr Cox: Please.. Remember our rule.
(Josephine begins writing what she was saying)
Male Intern: (Cutting in)We heard that you were waiting for the pediatrician... uh.. He's at home, so we paged him and he said that we should give your daughter the shot ourselves.
Dr. Cox: There is no way in hell I'm letting an incompetent intern touch my child.
Male Intern: But you said we were the future of the hospital and we need to learn.
Dr. Cox: You need to learn on patients not related on me... Ones that I don't care if you kill or maim.
Male Intern:We're you're doctors... Deal with it!
Josephine: (In a normal voice) Yeah! We're you're doctors!
Dr. Cox: Why don't you always talk that way?
Josephine: (Back to her high pitched voice) Because it hurts my throat too much.
J.D.: I'll be in charge of the epidural, and as soon as you're ready I'll have them make you so numb it'll feel like you're passing a marshmallow.
Kim: But that sounds sticky and uncomfortable!
J.D.: Passing a unicorn
Kim: That's a big horse with a horn!
J.D.: Passing a rainbow!
Kim: That's better.
(When Dr Cox won't let the Interns give his daughter a shot)
Intern: But you said we're the future of the hospital and we need to learn
Dr Cox: You need to learn on patients not related to me, ones that I don't care if you kill or maim.
J.D.'s narration: As I looked around the room, I thought about the things parents do for their kids; like going to extraordinary lengths to ensure their child never fears them, helping them mend their broken heart… or staying up late to make sure there's one less distraction around them. And I realized that parenting is about sacrifice, and I had to go there and be there for my child; even if it meant taking some well deserved abuse. (Doctor delivers Kim's baby) And right there I couldn't help but wonder: are you ever?
Kim: (In labor, screaming) I hate you SO much right now J.D.
Dr. Donna: (To J.D.) Don't worry, all women say that stuff during labor. She doesn't mean it.
Kim: I do… he just broke up with me.
Delivering doctor: Okay Kim, you're still a few hours away and I understand you'll be wanting an epidural?
Kim: Yes. But I hate pain so much I'm hoping there's a pill you can give me so that getting the epidural itself won't hurt.
(Delivering doctor laughs)
Kim: Haha… Why does she think I'm joking? I hate her and her chipmunk-y face.
J.D.: Kim your quiet voice is a little louder than usual.
Turk: Alright people, listen up. I need to beat this video game before Kim delivers J.D.'s bastard child. It takes two people to do it, so I can't do it by myself. Who's with me?!?! (Holding an Xbox360)
Dr. Kelso: I would, Turkleton, but I only play Pacman and that car-jack game. There's nothing like scoring a Caddie and mowing down street hoes.

This does have a small reference to cruising
In the days that have passed
In all of my years,
There has been laughter
And Also been tears.
And I have seen elephants
Massive and gray,
Marching before me
In endless array.
I've crossed over mountains
And seen rivers flow.
I've cruised the wide ocean
And played in the snow.
Rich men and poor men
And beggars and kings,
An oplulent minstrel
Who dances and sings.
A potion, a pill, and a
Deft surgeon's knife.
All these are a part
Of everyman's life.
I hope you have these copyrighted and published. You're poetry, as usual is beautiful and moving, especially for those of us who live to travel.
I agree with poormom. You write so beautifully...I look forward to your poetry.

If you are looking for honest, hard-working, reliable tradesmen, these are your guys. Floor preparation was unparalleled - after 4 previous floor disasters, I've got a good understanding of how this all works. To ensure a level floor, they ground down high bits and used a self-leveller to bring up the low bits. They worked late when necessary to get it finished in time - and I mean late - 10 or 11pm. They cleaned up after themselves and we had a team here every day until the job was complete. Excellent job!
Very good hard woker good job I will use him if do any more work

Fonterra raises 1.25 bln renminbi in second 'dim sum' bond
By Paul McBeth
Jan. 21 (BusinessDesk) - Fonterra Cooperative Group, the world's biggest dairy exporter, has raised 1.25 billion renminbi in its second Chinese currency denominated bond, which it will use to repay debt and expand operations in the world's second-biggest economy.
The five-year bonds pay annual interest of 3.6 percent, and were bought by global investors "with strong support from Asia," chief financial officer Luke Paravicini said in an emailed statement to BusinessDesk. Fonterra wants to diversify its funding strategy with a view to better align borrowing with the company's business activities.
"We were very pleased with the level of support," Paravicini said. "It was significantly over-subscribed."
The funds will be used to refinance its some of its existing Chinese operations, and to support growth in the Chinese market, expanding Fonterra's consumer, foodservice and farming businesses.
Fonterra first entered the so-called 'dim sum' bond market in 2011, selling 300 million renminbi of three-year bonds which were six times oversubscribed paying annual interest of 1.1 percent. At the time, Fonterra said that was the lowest coupon achieved for an international corporate issue of Chinese currency deliverable in Hong Kong. The bonds mature in June this year.
Kelvin Wickham, Fonterra president Greater China & India, said the bond issue will support growth of the whole business, and consumer brands in particular, "which are a key focus for growth given it is at an earlier stage of development."
Units in the Fonterra Shareholders' Fund, which gives investors exposure to the company's dividend stream, were unchanged at $5.70 today.

Glock 17 Gen 4 Frame Chipping?
4 Attachment(s)
Hi. Can anyone tell me if this is normal, or if they have seen it on other Glocks? I just bought a new Gen 4 Glock 17 and needless to say, I'm having some buyer's remorse. I traded in my Glock 17 RTF for this one and immediately started noticing problems. The dual recoil spring keeps getting caught and impeding the slide from moving forward when being reassembled. After this happened a few times, I took the gun apart to inspect it more closely and found that the frame is chipped on both sides just to the rear of where the dust cover starts. There are two chips on both sides just below the front guide rails. I included some pics of this below. At first I thought this was normal because the chips on both sides look almost identical. There are two of them on each side in almost the exact same spot. I also included a shot of the area where the recoil spring keeps caught upon reassembly. Also, I'm always making sure to seat the guide rod properly in the barrel "half-moon" area before I reassemble it.
The gun is brand new. Other than the two rounds that are shot through it from the factory, it has to my knowledge never been shot.
What should I do? Return the gun to the store I bought it at, or call Glock directly? Or should I do anything at all?
Thanks for your time.
Attachment 13267
full picture of the area highlighted
Attachment 13268
Attachment 13269
Attachment 13270
Here are the marks where the guide rod is getting caught..when there is enough pressure applied to re-attach the slide, the guide rod finally loses it's grip and slams back against the area where it is supposed to be seated.
To me, those look more like air pockets that were formed when the plastic was being injected in the mold. You could take it back, or call Glock directly, but it might be less hassle and frustration to take it and have an experienced gunsmith look at it first.
I am a gunsmith-in-training, but I haven't encountered a problem like that yet, so I will leave this to someone more experienced than myself.
Looks like Perfection to me.:eek: Should have got a Sigma.:D
Seriously, Doesn't look right. Send it back.
Glock issue
I had a problem with my Glock after a year with what I thought was the tennifer finish wearing off. They told me to send it in. Though my tennifer was not wearing off (there is a coating they put over the tennifer treated slide that was wearing) they did refinish the area I had in question and while they were at it replaced the rear sight that had a nick in it and replaced my hammer spring and one other part in the firing mechanism. They did that all free of charge so I am going to say send it back. I believe they will do whatever it takes to make it right as they did for me almost a year later.
Those look like bubbles which are very common in polymer frames (and the occasional cast steel frame). If it was mine I'd just use it the way it is. More cosmetic than functional in that location.
But if it bugs you (understandable) send it to Glock and they will make it right.
If you believe that it is a problem, contact Glock, they will do right by you.
That's interesting...I recently bought a Gen4 22 I have the same chips in the exact same spot (the two big chips you have in the first close-up). I also haven't fired it yet and suspect the recoil spring assembly. Although I haven't been able to duplicate the problem in a while now, I also had issues during reassembly (only a few times) where the slide would get stuck about half-way on and cocked. It wouldn't move in either direction unless I pulled the trigger, took the slide back off and then reassembled.
When together, it functions fine, and if it's only cosmetic, I don't care as long as this isn't something that's going to get worse with time.
If you've talked to Glock can you let me know what they have to say?
That's not the frame chipping, it's voids in the molding process. In that area it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect function at all.
I have the same marks on my Gen 4 19. My spring is the dreaded 03. I have had no problems pumping 1,300 rds. through it so far. My spring has stayed centered so I have not experienced any of the binding you described. The marks inside the frame appear to be from the molding process.
Glock told me it has to do with them taking extra poly out of the frame to make room for the bigger double RSA. They also said it was nothing to worry about and it wont get worse with usage. My 22g4 has the same marks however they seem to be on the reversed side.

Seattle police want to spend at least $150,000 on more drone aircraft—even though they've got two they don't use.
Beyond conducting limited training exercises, SPD has never deployed the two drones it purchased in 2010 for $82,000. Furthermore, SPD department has no clear policy outlining how drones can be deployed in the field.
You just know that the chief of police sits there all day looking at Tactical Pens on Amazon, even though he's already got one in his pencil case.

The Nordic welfare model in a European Perspective
Social assistance and minimum income benefits are important indicators for assessing the very basic objective of social policy, namely to mitigate financial hardship and alleviate poverty. The Nordic countries have succeeded well from a comparative point of view in terms of poverty alleviation. However, last-resort safety-nets are changing. Scattered evidence indicate that Nordic social assistance have become less generous. Perhaps are the Nordic countries becoming more similar to the welfare models of Continental Europe or the United Kingdom? This study analyses central dimensions of Nordic social assistance, such as the generosity, scope and effectiveness of benefits. Data for the empirical analyses are from SaMip and LIS. We show that Finland and Sweden, particularly, have suffered from welfare decline, including less generous and effective benefits.

Home > After Saddam > Article
A judge investigating members of Saddam Hussein's ousted regime was shot dead today in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, in the second such killing in as many days, police said.
"Judge Ismail Yussef Saddek was gunned down Tuesday around 7:30am (1530 AEDT) in front of his house ... by men in a car," a senior police official said in Mosul, 370km north of Baghdad.
"He died before reaching hospital," said Mohammed Seddik, a doctor at Mosul's emergency services.
Saddek was member of a commission probing allegations against former Saddam regime officials.
Today, a judge who headed a similar investigative commission in the central city of Najaf was also gunned down, according to a prosecutor who had been kidnapped with him.
Muhan Jabr al-Shuwaili along with Najaf prosecutor general Aref Aziz were kidnapped from the judge's house in the city early yesterday, Aziz said.
The two were driven to a desert area, eight kilometres north of Najaf, he said. "One of the assailants said 'Saddam has ordered your prosecution.' Then they fired two shots into his head," Aziz said.
Last month, a member of the US-sponsored interim Governing Council said an Iraqi Special Tribunal (IST) would be set up for judges to try Saddam-era crimes against humanity, war crimes and charges of genocide and torture.

i thank the gentleman for TimeCode: 10:52:37.2 yielding, the chairman of the committee. who has done such an extraordinary job for decades now in taking care of the environment and particularly providing for clean water and sewer treatment for our country so critical to our public health and to the health of our TimeCode: 10:52:54.3 country. i want to at the outset, however, make an observation. that i am not surprised very frankly, i tell my friends on the other side of the aisle, that they are concerned about davis-bacon provisions in this bill. TimeCode: 10:53:09.5 after all, of course, most of those who have risen voted against raising the minimum wage in this country from $5.15 to $7.25 over a 2 1/2 year period. TimeCode: 10:53:24.0 if you don't believe in raising the minimum wage from $5.15, not surprising to me you're not for paying a prevailing wage to workers on public projects. i have observed in the past, of course, how much cheaper projects would be if we didn't TimeCode: 10:53:41.1 pay our laborers at all. we just force them to work. hopefully we will not pursue ever a policy like that. i want to commend the chairman of the transportation and infrastructure committee, mr. oberstar of minnesota, for all of his hard work and leadership TimeCode: 10:53:57.7 on this important legislation re-authorizing the clean water state revolving fund for the first time in 13 years. it's interesting that our friends on this side of the aisle have been in charge of this congress in bringing TimeCode: 10:54:12.7 legislation to the floor for the last 12 years. so since they took charge they have not re-authorized this program. again, not because of the observations, as has been pointed out, they didn't think we needed to have a clean water TimeCode: 10:54:28.3 program, but because they didn't want to pay the prevailing wages. i want to thank chairman oberstar for his leadership and i want to thank my dear friend, eddie bernice johnson, of texas for her very important leadership as well. TimeCode: 10:54:45.6 as you know we have passed two other bills this week re-authorizing sewer overflow control grants. h.r. 569 and h.r. 700. they related to combined sewer TimeCode: 10:55:01.9 overflow grants to states for aging sewers. we know that's a problem throughout this country. that handles storm water and sewage water, and h.r. 700 which is a pilot project for TimeCode: 10:55:14.2 getting clean water to rural communities. we know that we focus on urban communities, but it's very important for us to also make sure that our rural communities have clean water. i believe that this bill as has been indicated has bipartisan TimeCode: 10:55:31.7 support. notwithstanding the difference on prevailing wage. mr. speaker, the fact is a clean, safe water supply is vital in communities both large and small, rural and urban, all across this nation. we are not talking about a luxury, a perk, or nonnecessity TimeCode: 10:55:47.6 . clean water, safe water is absolutely indispensable to the good health of all americans as well as our way of life and continued prosperity. just consider, my colleagues, that our nation's farmers and TimeCode: 10:56:02.5 fishermen and manufacturing and tourism industries rely on a clean water supply. their acts contribute hundreds of billions of dollars to our economy every year. our nation as has been pointed out now faces a clean water TimeCode: 10:56:17.7 crisis. as the environmental protection agency warned in a recent report, i'm quoting, from the administration's environmental protection agency, quote, without continued improvements in wastewater treatment infrastructure, future population growth will erode TimeCode: 10:56:31.9 away many of the clean water act achievements. and i want to congratulate mr. baker and mr. oberstar for their leadership in trying to confront this crisis. one key reason for the clean water crisis is much of the water infrastructure in our TimeCode: 10:56:47.8 nation is rapidly approaching or already exceeding its projected life. so i'm proud today, mr. speaker, that the new house majority with the support of many republicans will take an important step toward addressing our nation's water needs by re-authorizing the clean water state revolving TimeCode: 10:57:04.9 fund and authorizing $14 billion over the next four years to ensure safe water for our families and for our people. i congratulate both sides of the aisle working towards that objective. the fund is the primary source of federal funding for clean TimeCode: 10:57:21.0 water, helping to provide low-interest loans to local communities for construction of wastewater treatment facilities and other water pollution abatement projects. in fact, since 1987 when the fund became the major federal source of clean water funding, it has provided states with TimeCode: 10:57:38.4 more than $50 billion for more than 18,600 low-interest loans to local communities. the unfortunate truth is the congress' -- recent congresses TimeCode: 10:57:55.3 allowed the clean water state revolving fund to expire in 1994, and failed to re-authorize it because, as i have said, and as we have seen on the floor, the concern about davis-bacon, the concern about paying prevailing wage, wages that i think are fair and TimeCode: 10:58:11.1 appropriate for public projects. in recent years the former majority cut funding for the funds involved in this project by 34%. and the president has proposed cutting it even further. mr. speaker, it is a new day in TimeCode: 10:58:27.4 this the people's house, it is long past time for us to act on this important legislation. the new house majority is absolutely committed under the leadership of jim oberstar, who has been one of the giants on this issue, for, as i said, TimeCode: 10:58:43.8 decades, not days, not weeks, not months, not years, but decades he has been in the leadership of this effort. i urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in a bipartisan way to re-authorize this critically important piece TimeCode: 10:58:58.6 of legislation. i yield back the balance of my time.

Triple-premiership veteran Paul Chapman has guaranteed himself a contract with Essendon for next year after hitting a trigger point in the deal he signed following his departure from Geelong.
Delisted by the Cats somewhat contentiously, the 2009 Norm Smith medallist returned to playing under coach Mark Thompson this season with a clause in his contract that granted an extension provided he played a certain number of games.
Essendon would not confirm the number – Fairfax Media understands it was 15, although in deals of this nature games missed can actually be counted provided the player is rested – but the club confirmed Chapman had recently reached the mark.
Chapman's 21-possession game against the Swans on Friday night was his 15th in red and black, and he again provided influence and experience for the Dons, albeit in a 22-point loss.
The 266-game player turns 33 in September and will then look to a 16th year playing senior footy.
Chapman managed just eight games for the Cats last year after being beset by hamstring complaints. But he kicked four goals and had 20 touches in his last outing for his old side; a winning semi-final that he played a significant hand in turning.
At Essendon, Thompson has clearly backed the player he knows intimately and Chapman had immediate impact. He booted four goals on debut for his new club, which instantly endeared him to the Bomber faithful. Chapman repeated the feat in round three.
Though he has only kicked multiple goals in one match since - against Collingwood in round 17 – Chapman has been a consistent ball winner this season, averaging 20 touches a match. His hardness and wise head in an emerging team has also been valued at Essendon.
The investment in the elder statesman has proved a particularly happy one for the Dons, given Chapman cost the club nothing in the draft.
It was just the kind of luck Essendon hoped for, given it was removed from the first two rounds of last year's draft as part of an AFL sanction concerning the club's involvement in an ongoing anti-doping inquiry.
Chapman and Dustin Fletcher are the only premiership players on the Bombers' list.
Contracts with extension options such as the one Chapman signed with Essendon are commonly reached with ageing players or those who are in and out of sides. The rationale is that they provide a level of security for players but also a degree of insurance for clubs.

"Trigger Finger" can initially be treated nonsurgically with
anti-inflammatory medication, or a splint or steroid injection around the
effective area. If nonsurgical methods don't relieve symptoms, outpatient
surgery may be recommended.
In mild cases in which hand function is not affected, only observation
is needed. However, in more severe cases various treatment options may
need to be considered involving injections or minor surgery.
Flexor Lacerations require surgical repair to sew the tendon
Most of the time, the bones can be realigned by manipulating them
without surgery. A cast or splint is used to hold the bones in place. In
some cases fractures do require surgery to stabilize and align bones.
These fractures usually break through the skin or result from a crushing

I cook and bake with whole grain and food storage everyday. Some folks may think that it's a lot like brain surgery...but well...maybe it is. In order to ease your frustration, I've highlighted a few of my recipe sections here that will help you find some of the basics of whole grains that I've used in the past. This will, of course, increase. There are many grains I haven't even covered yet on the blog. The more I learn about them, the more excited I get! What a wonderful world of grain we have. Honesty, we've just begun to scratch the scratch...that scratched the surface. I hope you enjoy!
We call it Grain Surgery™!

Non-parametric tests for right-censored data with biased sampling
Testing the equality of two survival distributions can be difficult in a prevalent cohort study when non-random sampling of subjects is involved. Owing to the biased sampling scheme, the independent censoring assumption is often violated. Although the issues about biased inference caused by length-biased sampling have been widely recognized in the statistical, epidemiological and economical literature, there is no satisfactory solution for efficient two-sample testing. We propose an asymptotic most efficient non-parametric test by properly adjusting for length-biased sampling. The test statistic is derived from a full likelihood function and can be generalized from the two-sample test to a "k"-sample test. The asymptotic properties of the test statistic under the null hypothesis are derived by using its asymptotic independent and identically distributed representation. We conduct extensive Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the performance of the test statistics proposed and compare them with the conditional test and the standard log-rank test for various biased sampling schemes and right-censoring mechanisms. For length-biased data, empirical studies demonstrated that the test proposed is substantially more powerful than the existing methods. For general left-truncated data, the test proposed is robust, still maintains accurate control of the type I error rate and is also more powerful than the existing methods, if the truncation patterns and right censoring patterns are the same between the groups. We illustrate the methods by using two real data examples. Copyright (c) 2010 Royal Statistical Society.

At readwrite, Dan Lyons covers the news that Dell is going private in a leveraged buyout led by a private equity company.
Back in the 1990s I used to cover Dell for Forbes, and I visited the company a few times. They were riding high then, and boy did they let you know it. They were perhaps not as arrogant as Apple is today, but close. I recall very clearly a conversation with Michael Dell where he told me that these little PDAs and phones were never going to be a big deal because who would ever want to read things on such a tiny screen? No, he assured me, the PC had a strong, vibrant future ahead of it.
And now here we are, and I'm thinking about "Ozymandias," and thinking how grateful I am that my high school English teacher made us read that.
Good luck, Michael Dell, and Godspeed. I am pretty sure that I will never use a Dell product, ever, for the rest of my life. But I suppose other people will. I will pray for their souls.

Dynamic Analysis of Income and Independence Effect of African American Female Labor Force Participation on Divorce
Despite a continuous increase in dissolution of marriages among African American females over time, no researchers have documented and published dynamic linkages among factors that cause African American family disruption. Using a contemporary time-series methodology, the study explores the dynamic impacts of African American female labor force participation rates (LFPR), incomes, and birth rates on divorce rates or vice versa. The study found that African American female divorce rates increase permanently as labor force participation rates increase, documenting a dominant independence effect of African American LFPR on divorce rates. The study also found that as more African American females participate in the labor market, birth rates decline over times. Copyright International Atlantic Economic Society 2007

Listed residential developer Devine Limited has completed a land access
agreement in Brisbane's north for 244 residential lots with an end value of about $90 million. Work at the 29-hectare site in Burpengary is due to commence immediately. First sales of the project, which will be called Woodvale, are expected to be completed in the current financial year and contribute to Devine's fiscal earnings for 2001. Devine's national development pipeline is now more than 2700 lots, or 11,500 dwellings. "The agreement is indicative of the sort of capital-efficient transactions we will be investigating as we seek to grow our portfolio into the future," said the developer's managing director, David Keir. "We will increasingly be looking to leverage our skills and capabilities in project
delivery and marketing by partnering with landowners who are looking for a trusted brand." Matthew Cranston
Food manufacturer Picasso Foods has signed a five-year lease for an industrial property in Huntingwood in Sydney's west. The food preparation facility at 4 Healy Circuit includes cool rooms, freezers and production areas. The deal represents $115 per square metre. Scott Bailey, senior executive, business & industrial space at Knight Frank, said the deal was very competitive. "Normally a specialised facility of this type would command circa $140 to $150 per square metre in rent," Mr Bailey said. "However we managed to identify a lessee with synergies to take over from the existing tenant, resulting in a more efficient and cost-effective transfer." Michael Hobbs
Goodman Group has added Phillip Pryke, deputy chairman of New Zealand's largest energy utility, Contact Energy, to its board. Independent director Diane Grady resigned. Mr Pryke, a former investment banker, is a partner at Co-Investor Capital Partners, a joint venture between its management team and Victor Smorgon Group, and a director of Goodman (NZ) Limited.

Kick The Liar In Chief Out Of Office
Monty Pelerin
December 6, 2013
Let's get serious folks! We have an inveterate liar in the highest office in the land. There is no crime in saying so:
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president… is morally treasonable to the American public.
Theodore Roosevelt
What does a country do when its leader routinely ignores its laws and routinely lies to citizens? What does a people do when policies ensure the impoverishment and eventual enslavement of the people?
Those are the questions confronting the US today. I know it, you know it, his most ardent supporters know it, Congress knows it, the media knows it, our allies know it and our enemies know it.
Barack Obama is a pathological liar, a disgrace to the office and to the country.
There is no other way to describe this unethical individual. His behavior is disgusting and repulsive to every American who still believes in the Constitution, ethics and integrity. He is the epitome of Dwight D. Eisenhower's cogent observation:
Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy.
The Rest…HERE
