Dan Dan Noodles With Pickled Mustard Greens
Recipe by NcMysteryShopper
These aromatic dan dan noodles in a spicy soy-based sauce are wildly popular at South Beauty. A small bowl of them will customarily arrive at the end of a meal—especially in the summer when, paradoxically, eating chile-laden foods is thought to help you feel cooler. Choose noodles that have a firm, chewy texture. This wonderful recipe is from Susanna Foo.

As my husband declared, "This is awesome!" We really enjoyed this meal. I used 1/2 lb. of egg noodles for this, and I only had ground turkey on hand, but everything else was done according to recipe. Thank you for posting.

Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brandy or 1 tablespoon whiskey
- 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1⁄4 lb ground pork

- 2 tablespoons minced chinese pickled mustard greens (optional)
- 2 scallions, white parts only, minced
Directions See How It's Made
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce with the brandy, hoisin sauce and cornstarch. Blend the mixture into the ground pork.
- In a small bowl, whisk the sesame paste with the vinegar and the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce until smooth. In a small saucepan, heat the chili and sesame oils. Add the garlic and cook over high heat for 30 seconds. Add the sesame paste mixture and simmer for 1 minute. Add the stock and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced slightly, about 3 minutes.

- Add the bok choy to the boiling water and cook until bright green, about 10 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bok choy to 4 small bowls. Cook the noodles in the boiling water until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain well and transfer to the bowls. Pour the sauce over the noodles and spoon the ground pork on top. Garnish with the pickled mustard greens and scallions and serve.

text: With the upcoming blu ray players like the pana BD50, that is able to decode all HD sound formats and send them as PCM to the receiver or pre amp, is there any advantage in having af pre amp that can decode the HD sound formats ? As long as its able to receive a 7.1 PCM signal via hmdi and it treats it the same way in regards to bass management ect. what need is there for a decoding facility in the receiver / pre amp ? Plus, isnt it preferable that the decodning takes place in the player, that will do it just as well as an expensive preamp. Michael

Hacking group 'Lizard Squad' gained control of the Malaysia Airlines website today (Mon 26) and redecorated it with a rather strong 'Plane Not Found' message.
The site was down for several hours, and during that time, the group unsurprisingly took credit for it. Although, we're not sure they needed to do so since the message read "404 – Plane Not Found. Hacked by Lizard Squad – Official Cyber Caliphate."
[MEDIA STATEMENT]: We would like to point out that @MAS is lying about user data not being compromised. Refer to earlier imgur link.
— Lizard Squad (@LizardMafia) January 26, 2015
Going to dump some loot found on http://t.co/D9XYneQoaK servers soon
— Lizard Squad (@LizardMafia) January 26, 2015
The airline was quick to respond on Facebook with a statement, claiming that no data – or "loot" – was stolen during the breach.
Both Malaysia Airlines and Lizard Squad had a busy year in 2014 for various reasons, so it comes as no surprise that in the first month of 2015 they've already butted heads.
The website is now back online. And this is usually where I would make a witty comment. But I'm going to pass on this one…

I now understand Ben Crane
By mustang6560 on 5/17/12
Prior to watching this video on the University of Oregon men's golf team, I used to lie awake at night wondering why Ben Crane behaves the way he does. Where on earth did the former University of Oregon player find the inspiration for his goofy videos? Or that awful red spandex jumpsuit?
Well, now I know.
It seems as though the University of Oregon produces an eclectic type of golfer (or are eclectic golfers attracted to the University of Oregon?). I will admit, though, just like Ben Crane's videos, this video is mildly entertaining.

Adelaide, Jan 22: Australian middle-order batsman Michael Hussey wants to continue playing international cricket and is looking forward to his team's tour of the West Indies in March this year.
Speaking in Adelaide on Sunday, ahead of the fourth and final Test against India starting on Tuesday, Hussey said: "I'm looking forward to this Test match. I haven't looked beyond that at all at this stage."
He added: "I've just really tried to set myself for this series. But my body feels good and I still feel like I'm playing well. I'm definitely thinking of continuing on. I'd love to go to the West Indies."
"The culture I was always brought up in is the next generation have to earn their right to play for Australia.
"It took me over 10 years of first-class cricket just to get one game for Australia so I certainly don't feel the responsibility to pass the baton on.
"We can say that there's no batsman banging on the door but there's some outstanding players out there who are batting in some pretty difficult first-class conditions.
"I still feel like I've got a big role to play in the team with experience to help some of the younger members of the team."
Hussey praised new coach Mickey Arthur.
"For a while there everyone did get a little bit insular. It was a bit quieter, probably a bit more intense," he said.
"Now the new coach has stepped in, the new selectors have stepped in, the communication has been really good.
"Everyone knows where they stand, they know what their roles are and they know where they want to take the team in the future.
"That gives everyone a lot of heart and a lot of confidence. You can relax again and be yourself and you can really see the characters coming out in all the team."

Noteworthy Articles and Dharma Reviews
Better Business Bureau: A+ rating BBB Complaints and Reviews
Merchant Maverick – DharmaMerchant Services got 5 out of 5 stars on Merchant Maverick. Dharma swoops past the competition with what may be the most transparent pricing structure in the industry. Knowledgeable customer service representatives are available during business hours. Dharma is committed to teaching merchants how merchant services work. That's a win for their customers. In fact, anyone who even visits Dharma's site is able to find out how much merchants pay for credit card processing, to whom the payments go, and why they pay what they pay. "Dharma flawlessly combines industry know-how with endlessly ethical business practices to cater to small businesses and non-profits." [Read more ]
CardPaymentOptions – With perfect 5-star ratings in all four rating categories, Dharma Merchant Services eared a rare A+ rating from CardPaymentOptions. In an industry that seems to be nearly overrun with disorganized, unscrupulous merchant service providers who seem self-serving at times, Dharma has managed to create a business and online culture that truly serves the common good. The company markets its services via recommendations from its client network and a strong (and positive) online presence. Dharma clearly outlines the cost of service and contract terms, not in fine print, but in big, bold letters on dedicated pages for rates and fees. One would be hard-pressed to even find a negative user review about the company. "The company appears to offer transparent pricing and excellent customer service, and its eco-friendly and non-profit initiatives are sure to be appealing for many merchants." [Read more ]
Google Play – With 341 user reviews on Google Play and more than 2,600 +1s on Google Plus, the Flint Mobile Payment app earns 4.3 out of 5 stars. There were 275 4- and 5-star ratings of the app on Google Play and 42 ratings that were 1 or 2 stars. The app has been downloaded more than 10,000 times as of summer July 2014. The most common complaints amongst app users are funding delays and non-existent customer service. Most users, however, find the app useful. Flint is not without its glitches every now and then. But all in all, it works. "I'm not sure what the deal is, but I processed a credit card on square after Flint declined it twice. I'd call customer service, but they have none." [Read more ]
Free Merchant Account – Interchange-plus pricing, a clear and simply contract and doing social good with the money you spend. Dharma Merchant Services is a solid choice for clients who want to do business with a merchant service provider they can trust.

Home ownership is definitely not an uncommon dream for you to have. As you grow older, you start to look at continual rent payments as an unnecessary expense. Why not invest in a home that will become your permanent property? It's true that most of us don't have the financial resources to buy a home outright. That's where home loans come in. Read this basic guide if you'd like to know more.
Cleaning up your credit history should be your first step down the road towards applying for a home loan. Every consumer lending institution you might possibly work with is going to check your credit report before drawing up a loan. Resolving issues in your credit history and doing your best to improve your score will make it more likely that you'll qualify for a loan and also improve the terms you receive on one.
Loan applicants have a lot of credit pitfalls to watch out for. For example, applying for too many lines of credit can look bad to home loan providers in certain circumstances. Do what you can to streamline your current financial obligations. Pay off what you can and consolidate your debts so that you minimize the number of different lenders you're working with. This can all pay off when it comes time to set the terms on your home loan.
Another reason why it makes sense to scrutinize your credit history at the start of the process is that it may help you pick out the lenders you want to approach. Some institutions are highly selective and won't be able to offer much help to individuals with questionable credit reports. Other lenders specialize in meeting the needs of those who have had financial difficulties in the past. Learn all you can about the different lenders available to you and pick out one whose focus meets your personal situation.
Going the Extra Mile
The reason why you need to be picky about the lender you choose to work with is that the different rates and fees charged from lender to lender vary enormously. For example, a charitable non-profit organization is often the very cheapest source of home financing available to you. It can be extremely difficult to qualify for one of their loans, though, so you should always be considering a healthy selection of different providers before you make your final choice.
Fortunately, the internet makes it easier than ever before to research your home loan options. You can use a host of different websites to get at least a rough idea of the sort of loan terms that different lenders will be able to offer you. You'll also be able to use standardized tools to help you estimate how much you'll be paying for the loan you receive.
Take the Time to Find the Right Match
Applying for a home loan is a complex process, and it's important not to rush through any of them. The guidance provided here will get you off to a decent start, but keep educating yourself as you progress further down the road towards securing a loan! The more you learn, the better a job you'll do of finding a favorable loan from a reputable lender.
How Do You Pick Out The Perfect Home
How Do You Find A Home Loan Broker You Can Trust
A Home Buyer's Guide to the Mortgage Application ProcessRead More
Although buying a home is likely to be one of the biggest financial transactions you'll ever make, it still obeys a lot of the same rules you'd use when making any other purchase. You'll want to survey the market widely (comparison shopping), examine all of your financing options, and negotiate strenuously to make sure you get the best possible deal. If you prepare yourself in advance, locating your ideal home and buying it for a reasonable price is easier than you think!
Start by taking stock of your financial resources. How much money can you make available? How much are you actually willing to devote to the home-buying process? You'll need a healthy fund of ready cash to handle the down payment on a new house. Then you should look at your monthly expenses and your net (i.e. after-tax) income to see what kind of mortgage payment you can handle. Take a look at interest rates, too. (Don't forget to factor in the amount of time required to make a well-researched house purchase!)
After assessing your financial readiness, your next step is to go looking for professional assistance. Don't fool yourself; while it's possible to stumble across a great deal on a great home on your own, your odds get a lot better if you enlist the aid of a professional broker.
Besides giving you access to a wider range of housing options, brokers are thoroughly familiar with the regulations, negotiations, and lending intricacies that you'll have to deal with. A good broker can smooth out a lot of the potential hassles you're facing. Expert advice on your financing needs is particularly helpful; your broker can save you time by connecting you with a reputable lender who is willing to offer you favorable terms.
Watch Out for the Sharks
Because the residential real estate market has changed dramatically in the last 10 years, you need to be more careful than ever before about avoiding predatory lenders. These are institutions that seek to take unfair advantage of you when you need a mortgage. Common tactics include jacking up your interest rates or structuring them to conceal your loan's true cost, charging you hidden fees, and pressuring you to refinance when it's not in your best interest. Outright deception is not that common, but you should exercise extra caution when a lender (or a broker) starts applying high-pressure sales tactics to hustle you into a deal.
Have You Done Your Homework?
If you go into the search for your dream home with a realistic understanding of your financial resources, a solid grounding in your local real estate market, and reasonable expectations about what you can expect to pay for a home, you shouldn't run into any nasty surprises during the buying process. Here's a brief summary of the steps you need to go through once you've done your homework and lined up your financing:
1) Search home listings in your area. You'll find them online and in the local newspaper. Pay special attention to any properties your broker shows you.
2) Once you've selected a promising home, have it appraised and inspected by professionals.
3) Commit once you've found a home you'll love and you've confirmed that it doesn't have any hidden drawbacks. Make an offer.
4) Negotiate in good faith and get through all the necessary paperwork. Don't neglect your tax and insurance obligations when you buy a home!
5) Accept the keys to your new property and congratulate yourself; you're a homeowner!

How Do You Find A Home Loan Broker You Can Trust
A Home Buyer's Guide to the Mortgage Application ProcessRead More
When most consumers start thinking about making the leap to becoming homeowners, they're starting off with a distinct shortage of information about the home buying and financing process. Finding a loan broker that can help isn't easy without a little guidance. In order to provide the help that first-time buyers need, we've put together this basic guide to selecting a broker that will treat you right.
It's no understatement to say that the home mortgage business has gone through major upheavals in the last few years. A lot of brokers closed up shop during the recent financial crises. The brokers who weathered the storm and continue to offer their services today are still around because they make outstanding customer service their top priority. One of the biggest benefits they deliver is laying out a clear, step-by-step approach to home buying for their clients. Here's one example of the sort of path a good broker will lay out
Budgetary Planning
1) Figure out what kind of mortgage you can afford. Keep in mind that mortgage payments are not the only housing expenses you need to deal with on a monthly basis. There will be maintenance costs, insurance premiums, property taxes, and more. Plan out your monthly budget in detail and don't get too optimistic about how big a mortgage payment you can handle. You'll find a lot of helpful calculators online that will crunch the numbers for you when you want to start with a monthly payment and end up with a total sum for a mortgage.
Thoroughly Understanding Interest Rates
2) Pay attention to interest rates. Mortgages are large loans with long repayment terms; minor rate fluctuations can lead to dramatic changes in their overall costs. Speak with your loan officer about how rates are currently behaving. It may be possible to lock in the interest rate your lender quoted to you, which protects you against unexpected rate hikes before you settle on your new home.
Choosing the Right Broker
3) Pick your broker wisely. A good broker should be an educator as much as a financial professional; you want someone who can teach you about your various mortgage options and guide you towards the products that best suit you. Be aware that the brokers with the lowest rates probably won't necessarily be the ones with the best service or the most informative ones. It can be worth it to pay extra for a more helpful, approachable broker.
How Much Cash will You Need?
4) Start pulling your down payment together. A first mortgage always requires a down payment. If your loan is structured to require less than 20 percent down, you'll also need to purchase mortgage insurance. This shields your lender from the risk of default.
Organizing Your Paperwork
5) Collect your paperwork. Applying for a mortgage requires a lot of documentation. Make sure you've gathered everything you need – bank statements, pay stubs, tax returns, etc. – in advance. This avoids irritating delays in the lending process.
The road that leads you to your dream home may be uncharted territory for you, but a good loan broker can draw you an excellent map. You'll get a clear and safe route to purchasing a home. A good broker will steer you well away from the common pitfalls waiting for first-time buyers.

How Do You Pick Out The Perfect Home?
A Home Buyer's Guide to the Mortgage Application ProcessRead More
Buying a home is one of the largest investments that a person will make in their lifetime. Before you sign a mortgage contract with your lender, you need to know as much as you can about the home buying process. Continue reading to learn more about credit scores, what to look for in a mortgage lender and the application process.
Many people turn to a mortgage broker for information on getting a loan. In addition to this, you can use the Internet to research on how to get a loan, the different types of loans and how to determine the right priced house for your budget. The internet is a veritable storehouse of information on home loans.
The first thing you should know is how important it is to have good credit. You will better qualify for low-interest mortgages if you have a high credit score. If your credit is less than stellar, you should work on improving it as you will be able to get better financing as your credit improves.
Another thing that lenders will look at is your debt to income ratio (DTI). This is a measurement of the amount of debt you carry in comparison to your income level. A lower ratio will help you get a better interest rate on your home loan. It does not take a lot of mathematical skills to determine your DTI ratio. There are many wonderful calculators online that can help you determine your DTI. Or, you can calculate it yourself by taking the total of your monthly payments and dividing them by your gross monthly income.
Once you have determined that your credit is good and what your debt to income ratio is, it is time to visit a mortgage lender. The application is quite simple. You will need to have at least a month's worth of paystubs, two forms of identification and a list of your bills. Your mortgage lender will help you fill out your application for a mortgage.
What's the Easy Way?
When it comes to mortgage lenders, there are many to choose from. If you would like to find out about the different types of mortgages available, search online. You will find information about the different types of mortgage that you may qualify for along with the pros and cons of each type of mortgage.
Although the internet is a great way to find out about the different loans available, nothing is better than visiting a mortgage broker. Your mortgage broker will want to discuss your budget, your expectations and specific needs to determine the best type of mortgage for your unique situation.
Getting it All Together
You can help speed up the application process by having all of your documentation and information in an organized and easy to read format. Ensure that you have included everything that the lender will need to process your loan. Going the extra mile and having everything organized and presented in a portfolio will save you and the lender time. The sooner you can get the application process started, the closer you are to buying your dream home.

So today I found out that Carrie Fisher died. And then I found out that Richard Adams died as well…. I'm not sure which I'm more upset about. I know I've seen Star Wars more often than I've read Watership Down, but Leia was never my favorite character. I always wanted to be Han or Luke when acting it out with the neighborhood gang. At least Richard Adams lived a long life, though, and died at the age of 96…. So I guess I'm more upset about Carrie Fisher (even if she did have the cinnamon bun hairdo and awful bikini outfit). I think 2016 will go down in history as one of the suckiest years ever! Continue reading

It's been awhile
I've been busy with life. Too busy to write about books I've been reading. I've been busy finding and buying my first house, moving, (all while pregnant and working full time), giving birth, and raising my son. He's a beautiful boy.
And while I've been busy with all of this, I've still been reading. Just not writing. Hopefully this will change over time and I might start posting more frequently…. or not. Continue reading
Something new
So, I haven't been posting to this blog recently – I just haven't had time lately…
However, I did post a few days ago to the Ravenous Reader Blog which my library runs. My post was called Horror in the Woods, which refers to a book I read recently, not the branch where I work. Unfortunately due to a scheduling error, my post was only up for about 24 hours (on the main page of the catalog). But in that 24 hours, the book – The Ritual by Adam Nevill – went from having 2 available copies to having 25 holds. Pretty good for 1 day. And pretty good for a first time post to that blog. I'll probably post again there at some point in the future, when I read the right book. I wanted to post that particular title there, not just because I liked the book, but also because I don't see much horror fiction posted to that blog. Mystery and crime fiction, yes, but not much horror. And while I don't feel like I read a ton of horror, I do definitely appreciate a good scary story every once in a while.
Procrastination 2013
Happy Belated New Year!
I started writing this a couple of weeks ago to post in mid-January – and it had been a while since I had finished the books then…. Some parts of my life just feel as though I am wading through quickly drying mud. A couple of weeks ago, I was going to title this posting as un-commonalities. I like procrastination better because it's actually a word.
What do Pirate Cinema by Cory Doctorow, Cleopatra: a Life by Stacy Schiff, Fair Game by Patricia Briggs, and Alien Proliferation by Gini Koch have in common? Not much – as far as I can tell. Continue reading
The Dog Stars
By Peter Heller
I found this book to be extremely moving. While the story is both grim and bleak, it is also wondrously hopeful and beautifully written. The story is about love, courage, and finding one's home. It is written from the main character, Hig's, perspective in short segments. While the first part of the book moves at a moderate pace, the last half moves quite quickly. Continue reading

Glucomannan is a fiber-rich substance extracted from the konjac root. Rich in soluble fiber (the type of fiber that attracts water and becomes a gel during digestion), glucommannan is sometimes used to fight diabetes.

Proponents claim that glucomannan can help keep blood sugar levels in check and lower cholesterol levels. It can be found in dietary supplement form or naturally in foods such as shirataki noodles.

The Benefits of Glucomannan for Diabetes

To date, relatively few studies have tested glucomannan's effectiveness against diabetes. However, several small studies suggest that glucomannan may offer certain benefits to people with diabetes.

For instance, a 2003 study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that four weeks of treatment with glucomannan supplements helped guard against elevated glucose levels and improved cholesterol levels in people with diabetes. The study involved 22 people with diabetes and high cholesterol who were not taking cholesterol medication. Results showed that glucomannan was superior to a placebo in reducing LDL cholesterol and fasting glucose levels (a measure of blood sugar after not eating or drinking for at least eight hours).

There's also some evidence that including glucomannan in your diet may help improve diabetes control. In a small 2000 study from Diabetes Care, for example, people ate glucomannan-enriched biscuits or biscuits enriched with wheat bran fiber every day for three weeks. Researchers found that consumption of the biscuits lead to greater improvements in blood sugar control and a greater decrease in cholesterol.

Additionally, taking glucomannan in combination with plant sterols (naturally occurring compounds with cholesterol-lowering effects) may help diabetes patients keep their cholesterol in check, according to a 2006 study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. For the study, 16 people with diabetes and 18 non-diabetic individuals were assigned to one of four treatments for 21 days: supplements containing plant sterols, supplements containing glucomannan, supplements containing a combination of glucomannan and plant sterols, or a placebo. Results indicated that the combination of glucomannan and plant sterols was most effective at lowering LDL cholesterol.

Possible Side Effects

Although consuming glucomannan powder or flour in limited amounts in foods (such as shirataki noodles) is generally considered acceptable, little is known about the health effects of long-term or regular use of glucomannan supplements. There's some concern that taking glucomannan supplements in combination with diabetes medication may reduce your blood sugar to dangerously low levels.

Since solid tablets of glucomannan may cause blockages in the throat or intestines, some health professionals recommend opting for the powder form mixed with water.

Fiber supplements can interfere with the absorption of minerals, so it's a good idea to take vitamin and mineral supplements several hours apart from glucomannan.

Self-treating with glucomannan and avoiding or delaying standard diabetes prevention or treatment may have serious health consequences.

Keep in mind that supplements haven't been tested for safety and dietary supplements are largely unregulated. In some cases, the product may deliver doses that differ from the specified amount for each herb. In other cases, the product may be contaminated with other substances such as metals. Also, the safety of supplements in pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, and those with medical conditions or who are taking medications has not been established. You can get further tips on using supplements here.

Where to Find It

Widely available for purchase online, glucomannan capsules, pills, powder, flour and other supplements can be found in many natural-foods stores and in stores specializing in dietary supplements.

Glucomannan is also known as Amorphophallus konjac, konjac mannan, and konjac fiber.

Final Thoughts

If you're considering the use of glucomannan supplements for the treatment or prevention of diabetes (or any other condition), it's important to consult your physician prior to starting your supplement regimen.

There's some evidence that ginseng, cinnamon, and fenugreek may protect against diabetes. In addition, drinking tea on a regular basis and maintaining optimal vitamin D levels may also help.

Miranda breaks down: Miranda Lambert Breaks Down
Published: July 21, 2015
Miranda breaks down: Miranda Lambert Breaks Down, Miranda Lambert had an emotional moment while on stage just days before her divorce from Blake Shelton was announced.
The country star performed at the Cheyenne Frontier Days festival in Wyoming Saturday, but when it came time for "The House That Built Me," she broke down, TMZ first reported. The song was too much for the 31-year-old to sing alone, so she asked the crowd to join her.
The song was written by Tom Douglas and Allen Shamblin for Shelton while he and Lambert were just dating. Shelton wound up giving the song to Lambert after seeing her emotional response to it. She previously said on the "Today" show that the tune brings her to tears because it reminds her of her difficult childhood.
Lambert and Shelton announced they are divorcing after four years of marriage. Shelton apparently filed for divorce "a while ago" in Oklahoma and a judge finalized it Monday, according to TMZ.
"This is not the future we envisioned and it is with heavy heart that we move forward separately," they said in a statement. "We are real people, with real lives, with real family, friends and colleagues. Therefore, we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter."
The two married in 2011 after six years of dating.

Why The Next Generation Of Cars Will All Have Built-In Tablets [Detroit 2014]
Designers look to alternative interface options to reduce distracted driving.
The rapid influx of digital media into vehicle interiors presents a challenge for car designers. How to best allow drivers to interface with screens intuitively without distracting attention from the main task. keeping the vehicle in control on the road. Touchscreens are now fairly common although the main drawback is that they require the driver to focus on them while in use, distracting them from the road ahead. Some automakers have added haptic feedback, like a vibrating pulse, to try and reduce the amount of time needed to look at the screen.
At the 2014 North American International Auto Show, we saw two examples of next generation touchpads used in forthcoming production cars. Lexus unveiled their 2015 RC F performance coupe which has a center console touch pad looking rather like it was lifted right off a laptop.
The controller pad has a set of 4 simple buttons above for quick link navigation to menus, item scrolling and a dedicated home button. We didn't get a chance to try the system out but the raised 'enclosure' design of the unit looks like it would be easy to locate and use without actually looking at it.
Mercedes-Benz debuted their new C-Class sedan with a really innovative touchpad. The touch surface is curved and fitted to a mouse-like shaped enclosure. The touchpad permits letters, numbers and special characters to be entered by the driver in handwriting. Mercedes says the system can be calibrated to recognize any language. The touchpad delivers haptic feedback and the top portion functions as a click button.
We tried the system and it takes a few minutes to get accustomed to navigating without seeing a cursor. But it didn't take long to get quick with navigating through menus and the pad is very responsive. Also within reach, and cleverly located right under the pad is a scroll wheel.
While both of these example sit on the premium end of the automotive spectrum, it likely won't be long before touchpads migrate down to more affordable models and get integrated into other interior vehicle surfaces like the steering wheel.

Last year, India had the highest increase in production of natural gas worldwide as well as the highest corresponding increase in consumption in natural gas worldwide, BP Plc Group chief economist Christof Ruhl noted
India recorded the highest rise in natural gas output worldwide in 2009 after Reliance Industries' (RIL) eastern offshore KG-D6 field came into production, reports PTI.
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani-run RIL began gas production from the Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin in April, 2009, and its 60 million standard cubic metres per day (mmscmd) output led to a 75% jump in natural gas availability in the country to 140 mmscmd.
"Last year, India had the highest increase in production of natural gas worldwide. And I just checked, it also had the highest corresponding increase in consumption in natural gas worldwide," BP Plc Group chief economist Christof Ruhl said.
The jump in natural gas production in India was possible because the government allowed private sector firms to take a lead in exploration for hydrocarbons.
"When you look at countries where gas production is heavily government-controlled, like Russia, they had the biggest decline in gas production and consumption," he said.
"When you look at countries where new technologies have been developed like unconventional shale gas in the US... it was because they have an investment environment which is very competitive," he said.
Shale gas, trapped in sedimentary rocks, is said to hold the potential of doubling gas output in US.
Mr Ruhl said that it was very clear who was left behind, as countries where natural resources were tightly controlled were less flexible.
He said the recent Supreme Court ruling in the Ambani gas dispute will help investment in the sector.
For investors, "rule of law" and "sanctity of contracts" they sign is important, he said.
The court in May upheld the provisions of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) an explorer enters into with the government for oil and gas prospecting. It said the PSC gives the government the right to approve a gas price and fix its users, rejecting Anil Ambani Group firm Reliance Natural Resources Ltd's (RNRL) claim for gas from RIL at subsidised rates.
"That (judgment) has certainly improved stability and the sanctity of contract," he said. "That was a step into the right direction.
"India is facing its worst inflation problem in a decade, and since the central bank can do little in the short run, the government must play a greater role in addressing it, Moody's Analytics said
The government needs to play greater role in taming inflation by reigning in spending, as the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) tightening of its policy rates will have little impact on checking price rise, global research firm Moody's said today, reports PTI.
"India is facing its worst inflation problem in a decade, and since the central bank can do little in the short run, the government must play a greater role in addressing it, Moody's Analytics said.
"The problem cannot be tamed by simply raising interest rates to slow monetary growth," it added.
Moody's said growth of bank credit and money supply were sluggish in May at 18.8% and 15.1%, year-on-year, but surging prices of food and imports saw consumer inflation reach 13.9% during the month.
It said although the government has taken steps to divest stake in public sector undertakings (PSUs) and cut oil subsidies, it needs to reign in spending and borrowing because the combined central and state deficit is close to 10% of the gross domestic product (GDP), total economic output.
The research firm added that fiscal austerity would slow prices and boost the economy's longer-term prospects.
"With economic growth on a solid footing, inflation spiking, and liquidity in the banking system short, there is little excuse for not taking aggressive action to quickly reduce the budget deficit," Moody's said.
It said that with key state elections coming up there was a major question over whether the government would have the political will to step up austerity measures.
Moody's added, however, that with business confidence revived and firms looking to expand, it should set aside concerns about upsetting coalition members and tighten its fiscal affairs.
These stocks are going up on the hope that high 3G auction prices will prevent players from continuing their cutthroat tariff wars and that the recent regulatory recommendations will be toned down
Telecom stocks have been rising for the past few sessions and today they simply flared up. At the time of writing this, Bharti was trading at Rs303, up 8%, Idea was up 11% at Rs65 and RCom was up 2% at Rs192. What is driving all this buying?
What is driving telecom stocks is the hope that high 3G auction prices will prevent incumbents from engaging in further highly competitive tariff wars and that the recent recommendations of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) will be toned down.
In fact, using this logic, a host of brokerages have been pushing telecom stocks aggressively to institutional investors over the past few days. Credit Suisse (CS) came out with a report today in which it upgraded its EPS estimate for Idea for FY11 by 100%! The report goes out on a limb to assume a stable competitive environment, which will lead to steady revenue per minute. It says, "Incumbents have positively surprised us on mobile metrics over the past two quarters, and we have come across instances of tariff increase." CS has a price target of Rs360 for Bharti and Rs75 for Idea. Religare too came out with a report today in which it assumes that a number of Idea\'s loss-making circles will turn profitable in FY11.
But an even bigger assumption in the market is that since the recent TRAI recommendations are now with the Cabinet, they will be overturned or at least watered down. TRAI has recommended that 2G auctions should be along the lines of the recent 3G auctions and that a one-time fee should be paid for spectrum between 6.2MHz to 8MHz. This means existing telecom players such as Bharti and Vodafone will have to shell out large sums.
In Bharti\'s case, market players are also hoping that Bharti will unlock value in its tower business Indus in which it holds 42% stake (like Reliance Communications recently did) and bring down its debt (which it has incurred for its Zain buy). Besides, it had got a boost from the Life Insurance Corporation of India recently upping its stake in the company to 5%. Yesterday when Bharti closed at Rs281, traders were anticipating that the stock would face its first resistance at Rs300, which it has cleared in a day. The next level to watch out for is Rs330. Two important red flags, especially if you are a short-term trader. One, a casual observation of Bharti\'s chart shows that these kind of sharp up-moves have usually been followed by sharp pullbacks. Two, serious buyers, such as financial institutions do not generally engage in undisciplined trades, i.e., they will not bid up a stock by 10% in a day. Therefore it is safe to assume that the \'serious\' buying has already quietly happened over a few sessions, earlier in the week and today\'s gain is more speculative in nature.

London, Dec.31 (ANI): Five of the world's deadliest conventional weapons have been revealed, and according to Fox News, some of them are terrifying, while others are silent but very effective.
All five are part of the U.S. Armed Forces' arsenal. Some date back to World War II in concept, but they are still lethal and continue to be used in battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The fearsome five are:
(1) The AC-130 aerial gunship: This comes in two forms, the AC-130H "Spectre" and the more heavily armed AC-130U "Spooky," both flown by the U.S. Air Force. Versions of the AC-130 were first deployed during the Vietnam War. It's designed to hit targets on the ground or at sea, firing Gatling guns and howitzers fore, aft and to the side.
The AC-130's weakness is that it flies "low and slow," making it vulnerable to surface-to-air or air-to-air missiles.
(2) The 'bunker buster' bomb: The British military first conceived these steel-nosed bombs that dropped heavily and quickly enough to penetrate underground targets.
During the first Persian Gulf War, the U.S. military quickly rigged together similar weapons to attack Iraqi facilities, and then spent the next decade perfecting the concept.
Today's bunker busters are usually laser-guided missiles, either rocket powered or artillery fired.
(3) Laser-guided bombs: First used in Vietnam, these bombs (and some missiles) home in on a laser-illuminated target marked either by the shooter or a third party on the ground.
Un-powered bombs use fins to steer themselves to the target; powered missiles use rocket or jet engines. Laser-guided missiles and bombs were used to great effect during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. They don't work well in heavy dust, fog or smoke.
(4) .50-caliber sniper rifle: Confederate soldiers first mounted scopes on high-powered rifles during the Civil War, but the first specially designed sniper rifles for both police and military use came about in the 1970s. The barrels are precisely machined and specially mounted to minimize recoil. Many Western sniper rifles use NATO standard 7.62-mm cartridges, but models using massive .50-caliber bullets are so powerful they can take out enemy ordnance by sheer force of impact.
(5) Anti-personnel mines: These little hidden bombs cause such havoc in civil wars around the world that they've been banned by most nations. The U.S. still insists on retaining the right to use them, though it doesn't actively deploy them.
Best known is the Claymore mine developed by the U.S. in the 1950s and widely copied worldwide, but possibly most notorious is the Soviet "Butterfly" model that during the 1980s killed and maimed Afghan children who thought it was a toy. (ANI)

I was joyful as I contacted him for a job interrogatory - I wished-for to slog for this person! However, former I was nearby he was especially contrary from the prior time period.

His physical structure communication showed his apodictic same. His thought were icy. Immediately I knew that I was not going to labour for him. This man was rimy full-blood - a humanized craniate.

This is not a man of wholeness. This man may be a undefeated integer in the public's eye, but he is not an praiseworthy man in my view.

Multan triple centurion Virender Sehwag was batting on eight at the break.
Pakistan's first innings folded at 489, 73 minutes after the lunch break in reply to India's 287. The Pakistani tail frustrated the visitors who, after claiming four wickets in the first session, saw the last three wickets add 103 runs.
Rookie middle order batsman Asim Kamal struck a timely 73 that came off 141 balls with seven fours and three sixes to help Pakistan stretch the lead.
He added 46 runs for the eighth wicket with Akhtar (19) before stitching another 38 for the ninth with Umar Gul (14).
Resuming at 355 for three, Pakistan lost skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq without adding any run to his overnight score of 118, leg before wicket to Irfan Pathan in the first over of the day.
Lakshmipathy Balaji had Yousuf Youhana caught behind for 72 before Kamran Akmal played across to Pathan and was rapped on the pads and Mohammad Sami inside edged an innocuous delivery from the same bowler on to his stumps as four wickets fell for 31 runs.

If you have a breast lump then you should do some tests to rule out cancer. There are two important tests FNAC and X ray Mammography. Also clinical examination of breast from qualified oncologist is important. Sometimes in young age x ray Mammography may not be conclusive. In that case you may need MRI of breast. Painful breast lump in this age group is most likely to be fibroadenoma. Fibroadenoma is a benign disease and does not need any treatment unless it is symptomatic. Hope this answer helps you.

Bangalore, Mar 19 (UNI) Former Karnataka Chief Minister and BJP leader B S Yeddyurappa and party state unit president Sadananda Gowda today left for Delhi to have discussions with party leaders on the ensuing Assembly elections, most likely to be held in May, in the state.
The two leaders would discuss with party president Rajnath Singh and senior leader L K Advani the selection of candidates for the elections and finalise plans to bring the party to power on its own, party spokesperson Suresh Kumar said.
Talking to UNI, Mr Kumar said the first list of candidates was likely to be released by March end or during the first week of April.
''With just 50 or 55 days left for the polls, we are in preparation mode and ready to face the elections. Newly-appointed party in charge for elections Arun Jaitley will arrive here tomorrow night to give a formal start to the election work,'' he said.
Mr Jaitley would preside over a meeting of the 'core group' and discuss the party's election preparedness in the backdrop of the delimitation of Assembly segments, being taken up in the state, he said.
The 15-member election committee in Karnataka has already been selecting the candidates and would give a feedback to the central leadership. The state unit had also completed one-round of consultations with district and taluk level office bearers in this regard, he said.

тАЬI refuse to paint the world black,тАЭ declares Pierre-Auguste Renoir (the great French actor Michel Bouquet) in тАЬRenoir,тАЭ Gilles BourdosтАЩs compassionate late-life portrait of this French Impressionist painter, infirm with rheumatoid arthritis. тАЬA painting should be something pleasant and cheerful,тАЭ he adds. тАЬThere are enough disagreeable things in life. I donтАЩt need to paint more.тАЭ It is the summer of 1915 and Renoir, 74, has just lost his beloved wife, Aline. He will die four years later. The great man, now rich and famous, is slavishly attended by a retinue of female servants, several of whom are former artistтАЩs models, at his farm, Les Collettes, at Cagnes-sur-Mer on the Cote dтАЩAzur. World War I rages to the north. His two older sons, Pierre (Laurent Poitrenaux) and Jean (Vincent Rottiers), have both suffered serious battle injuries. Early in the film Jean returns home on crutches to convalesce from a wound that nearly cost him a leg. A third son, Claude (Thomas Doret), a k a Coco, in his early teens, lives on the property. Despite laboring in excruciating pain, which requires his hand to be tied to his paintbrush, Renoir remains obsessed with the way тАЬthe velvety texture of a young girlтАЩs skinтАЭ absorbs the light. He experiences a surge of vitality when he meets the 15-year-old Andr├йe Heuschling (Christa Th├йret), a k a Dedee, a voluptuous, mouthy, high-strung redhead recommended as a model by Henri Matisse. тАЬToo early, too late,тАЭ Renoir comments wryly, meaning that their age difference prevents them from becoming lovers. For Renoir, Andr├йe, who has a ravenous appetite for life, is the spirit made flesh, a beauty тАЬTitian would have worshiped,тАЭ he announces. RenoirтАЩs philosophy is distilled in five words: тАЬFlesh! ThatтАЩs all that matters.тАЭ While watching the movie, exquisitely photographed by the Taiwanese cinematographer Mark Ping Bing Lee (тАЬIn the Mood for LoveтАЭ), you may surrender to that unabashedly sensual vision, celebrated in every shot of Les CollettesтАЩ gorgeous, seething landscape of windblown trees, grass and streams that reflect what Renoir calls тАЬthe fury running through my nerves.тАЭ— Stephen Holden, New York Times

The NSA was designed to monitor a relatively contained number of official communications pipelines in nation-states -- for example, microwave transmissions from Moscow to an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) base in Siberia. But as Michael Hayden, then NSA director, told me in an interview in late 2002: "We've gone from chasing the telecommunications structure of a slow-moving, technologically inferior, resource-poor nation-state -- and we could do that pretty well -- to chasing a communications structure in which an al Qaeda member can go into a storefront in Istanbul and buy for $100 a communications device that is absolutely cutting edge, and for which he has had to make no investment for development."
So, all that Bush's illegal and unconstitutional order for the NSA to spy on Americans has achieved is... to take the United States to the brink of an 18th-century-style monarchical system of government that many hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their lives to overthrow and repel.

I was still feverish and deaf in one ear after a prolonged bout of flu, and keen to sleep on the plane, but it was not to be. On my undeaf side a woman going to Zizkov gave me a detailed account of her daughter's ear operation ...
Despite all this, I was immediately aware of Prague's charms unfolding around me as I headed for my Czech-style B&B. Trams built in the Fifties rumbled gently past as I crossed over the road in front of the 60-year- old curved glass and chrome facade of the Bila Labut department store.
I took a room in a 19th-century apartment block near the Powder Gate, a blackened tower on the edge of the maze-like streets of Stare Mesto.
On the surface Prague is going global: in place of Marxism there is Marks & Spencer, plus a Benetton and a Tesco, and smart Japanese cars mingle their exhaust fumes with the Skodas'.
But the city is full of clues to other times and cultures.
I saw little folded notes placed under pebbles on the graves of ancient rabbis in the overcrowded Old Jewish cemetery. I bought oranges from the bland, modernistic Kotva supermarket where Capuchin monks were doing their shopping. I sent an e-mail from the Terminal Cafe, where young people sipped cocktails as they surfed the net. I lingered over David Gans's mysterious tower drawings in his 16th-century manuscript Pleasant and Lovely in the Meisel Synagogue, and lounged in the Hogo Fogo and Gulu bars where you can drink strong beer - but I uncoolly drank black tea and Disprin.
I resisted an enticing menu (250 crowns/pounds 4.20) at the Spider, which included "ham roll with horseradish foam", and "poultry soup with hidden eggs" - my cold had obviously affected my culinary appreciation - and instead ate cheese buns under chandeliers while listening to such international hits as "The Blue Danube" and "Tulips in Amsterdam", played by the trio at the Municipal House Cafe. (Go down to its wondrous basement and look at a giant waterfall made of azure and sparkly tiles.)
The State Opera, a grand 19th-century building, has to be approached on foot via a dingy subway, as it is marooned on a traffic island. A notice exhorts visitors to wear "festive dress". I sucked hard on lozenges to suppress a coughing fit as some Germans behind me sang along with the music. I decided I loathed Verdi, and couldn't wait for Violetta to stop drivelling and snuff it; I left early in a flurry of Kleenex.
You can cross to the hilly eastern side of Prague over the medieval Charles Bridge, which was designed by Peter Parler, master of Unusual Gothic, and whose stones, legend has it, are bound together by eggs. The bridge is lined with blackened Baroque saints and knick-knack sellers. Over the bridge the Hrad, or castle, looms up on its hill.
After a visit to Kafka's gloomy old hang-out, Malostranska Kavarna, I overdosed on high Baroque in St Nikolas's, dizzied by whooshing gilt cherubs and chilled by all that cold, fleshy marble. Within the Hrad, I let a thick surge of organised tourists whizz me round St Vitus's Cathedral, my feet miraculously not touching the ground as I gawped momentarily at St John of Napomuk's sugar-pink tongue looking like an ice-lolly mounted in the convolutions of his massive, solid silver tomb.
There were outbreaks of delicate white blossom on the steep slopes up to the Straahov Monastery as I wheezed up the dusty cobbles of Uvoz.
Eventually I found my goal. Below the Loreto convent (choc-a bloc with saints and treasure, site of the Holy Hut and home of saintly skeletons in party gear), I found the little cobbled lane of Novy Svet. In one of its tiny 16th-century houses lived Tycho Brahe, who was one of the reasons for my wanting to visit Prague. This brilliant astronomer was a Dane with a silver nose (he had lost the original in a duel), who attended the court of the Habsburg emperor Rudolf II. Rudolf, moody and obsessive, whose best friend was his pet lion Otakar, occupied the Hrad until 1612. He surrounded himself with astronomers, astrologers and alchemists employed to turn base metal into gold (or else). Now that sounded about the scale of the cure I needed.

This is a discussion on 1911s Suck within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Plastics... Back in the late 70's I worked in a fiberglass plant in the R&D lab. After 13 months I was laid off but during ...
Back in the late 70's I worked in a fiberglass plant in the R&D lab. After 13 months I was laid off but during that time I suffered some really odd plastic related issues.
I stopped wearing the Casio G-Shock watch I used to have because the plastic wristband made me break out in hives.
Now I've not owned or handled a Glock since back when they were just Glocks with none of this Gen x or RTF or whatever.
My musings are just limited to Glocks though. How many of those high speed guys are going to find that in 20 years all that range time spent with their sweaty mitts wrapped around those plastic handles have contributed to their prostates growing to the size and consistency of cantaloupes?
FWIW, I carry a Sig, because that's what my agency issues. I have carried Glocks and Berettas overseas as well. Given the choice, I would choose a Gen 3 Glock or a German Sig over anything else made - sight unseen - and feel very confident that my gun would work, and work well. Take away my Sig tomorrow and give me a Glock, or an M&P, or an HK, or an FN, or a.......and you won't hurt my feelings, nor will I feel it necessary to go on about nostalgia, purtiness, grip angle, original design specs, the Cult of JMB, or anything else. I'll strap on and go about my day. My gun doesn't define me. I define my gun.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
Got my monthly Rifleman mag today. Think I'll put down 1995.oo for a commemorative 1911.
I was issued a 1911 in the Army many many years ago..my opinion is that the 1911 sucks...the thing rattled was heavy, and you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn door...i qualified with the M14 and then with the 1911....my carry weapon was a 1911...i thought I was a dead man...I would never trust my life to one...but then that was 46 years ago..
Say what!
Not going to watch this video...
This is nuts.....
"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."
-James Earl Jones
Properly functioning 1911s as scarce as non-functioning Glocks?!
Poor choices?! (Bad analogy. The thoughtful 1911 user cannot be compared to the irresponsible drunk driver and you know it, OBFOR. The successful use of the 1911 throughout its history is not a happy accident.)
If the Forum readers take both Yeager and DRM at face value then we should immediately throw all our 1911s into our wastebaskets and certainly should cease buying them. At least retire them to the same quaint status as cap and ball revolvers and flintlock muskets; relics of an earlier, more primitive era only suitable for display, reenactments, or a fun vintage shooting experience at the range on Sunday afternoons. There is no way the 1911 should be taken seriously as a fighting pistol these days.
Why do y'all have your knives in the 1911? Really?
We're still in the era of the self-contained metallic cartridge and the 1911 will still serve well for flinging bullets and be just as effective as any other semi-auto pistol. There's a whole lot less difference in all the bottom-feeding pistols currently marketed than we like to pretend, both here on the Forum and in these various handgun defense courses currently so popular.
Really now, if a person (or two) has to come here on the Forum and extol himself, touting the zillion students he's taught, gazillion rounds experience he has under his belt and a broken leg to boot in order to tell me that the 1911 is a malfunctioning deathtrap then he wastes his time for I'm personally unimpressed. His "massive" experience really doesn't count for anything in my mind for I didn't experience it first hand, observe anything, or have opportunity to learn from it. I have my own first hand experiences and observations with the 1911 and I really do only care about my own. The pistol has always worked properly when I asked it to. No fumbling grip safeties. No defeatist "I might not be able to do it" attitude about external safeties. No choking, harking, or puking. I think the 1911 is still a fine choice among many fine choices. Of course this is from a fellow who has fired no more than about 40,000 rounds through a 1911 and who still likes his revolvers so I have no credibility.
There are some tremendous Forum members I greatly enjoy reading and their thoughts are taken to heart, even if I don't always agree with them. Some (among them OPFOR) might even be surprised how much they are appreciated. They don't however provoke the membership with sensationalism at the expense of accuracy.
1911 owners aren't the only ones exhibiting outsized egos as fans of other handgun types have them too. So do firearms trainers apparently.
I've got to take down this computer in order to have carpet laid tomorrow, will be tied up all weekend with a gun show, and intend to enjoy a shooting excursion next week. Y'all can have this thread from here on. It would be nice to begin a thread to critically examine the 1911, especially with a view to discussing whether or not many current manufacturers are doing a 1911-hungry market a disservice by persistently shipping pistols that perform so poorly. It wasn't always so and it isn't due to a problem with the design. We'll save that for another thread later.

No possible rapidity of fire can atone for habitual carelessness of aim with the first shot.
Theodore Roosevelt, The Wilderness Hunter, 1893
Yes, my analogy was intentionally extreme, but the heart of it stands. You added the "thoughtful" to the equation, that was not (and is not) a prerequisite for the purchaser/user of any firearm. In fact, if thoughtful (and by thoughtful I mean emotionless, nostalgia-less, purely utilitarian logic) were the sole criterion, there would be a LOT less 1911s out there.
I stand by my analogy, however - a poor choice with a successful outcome does not ratify nor justify the choice.
All that said: Yes, of course, a 1911 that functions properly will fling bullets just fine. Neither the video, nor any of my posts, have been about properly functioning 1911s. The video, and all of my posts, have been about the tendency of 1911s - over other makes/models - to NOT function properly. And as an adjunct point, that a lot of people get immediately red faced and steaming when this observed fact is pointed out.
I have nothing against the 1911. It was (almost without question) the best fighting handgun of its time. That time has passed, however, due to myriad reasons. Not the least among these reasons is the proliferation of "second tier" manufacturers, aftermarket gizmo makers, home gunsmiths, and so on. But the FACT remains - more 1911s go down in classes than do other pistols. When that ceases to be a fact (and I've yet to find a trainer/instructor who hasn't experienced this), then you will have an actual counter to the video. Until then, it is ego, it is "I don't like his tattoos," it is nostalgia, it is posturing, it is intentional ignorance.....it is a whole lot of things. But none of it changes the truth as observed and reported in the video.

I really hate to feed into this conversation, but I feel compelled. I have a Springfield 1911 mil spec with 2500+ rounds with no fail to anything but go boom. I know that 2500 is not many rounds in the grand scheme, but that is a pretty good % of success so far. What I can't wrap my mind around is how the reliability of this firearm is in question after 100+ years of service.
Are the 1911 pistols more or less reliable than Glocks, no clue. Will the 1911 run a dirty as Glocks, probably not. I am more accurate with the 1911 that any other hand gun I have shot. Will I win marksmanship contest never, but I can put bullets on center mass at hand gun range all day long.
Well silliness aside, and I do think it's pretty silly, Mr. Yeager says some other things.
All Handguns should be Glocks
All Glocks should be 9mm
All 9mm Glocks should be G19
Are there other qualifiers I'm missing?
All G19 should be what Gen?
All 9mm ammunition should be what weight?
All 9mm ammunition of the approved weight should be of what configuration?
All of the ammunition of the approved weight and configuration should be from which manufacturer?
If you are allowed to cherry pick in this fashion it'd be a simple exercise to do the very same thing with the 1911, specify a list of conditions and configurations that will be sure to be functional and we are all done with the argument.
Granted for the 1911 we'd have to disqualify more manufacturers and magazine makers but it's really not that big a deal.
Now, does this fellow even teach malfunction clearance drills at all?
Also, after watching some youtube stuff on his appearance on One Man Army doesn't he seem to be just a little bit...slow footed?
I have changed my mind. I now believe all 1911s suck, especially Colts. As a matter of fact, I want to help my fellow gun owners here by ridding you of those awful 1911s.
Yes that's right. I am here to make the ultimate sacrifice, and help you get rid of all those pieces of junk, AT NO COST!
So just send them to me, and I will do the right thing by them.
