By Sara Fajardo, CRS regional information officer for eastern and southern Africa. She is based in Nairobi, Kenya.
The world shifted for the Mwanmuyinga brothers on October 24, 2009. Outside their tiny village, Luhimbo 2, in northern Malawi, nobody felt it, but for Yohane and Stefan that fateful Saturday was like an earthquake that reshaped the landscape of their lives. In an instant they went from two boys living with their grandfather, to two boys living alone.
They buried their Grandfather under a mango tree. He rests next to their father, who died when they were toddlers. Their mother, unable to care for them, left them with their grandfather soon after their dad's passing.
A rustic wooden cross bears Grandfather's name, Sipiliyango Mwanmuyinga. Two white penny-sized flowers grow on the soil that swells over his grave. When the rains come, Yohane, 15, pulls weeds and pats the ground into a perfectly symmetrical mound. He and his younger brother, Stefan, 13, visit often. They pass his grave on their twice daily trek to gather water from the local borehole.
What they miss most are Grandfather's stories. The mid-afternoon space right after they'd fed the cows and right before Grandfather lay down for a nap. They would sit on rough-hewn wooden benches -- only slightly higher than an ankle -- and listen to snippets of his life on their well-swept dirt porch.
Grandfather was an orphan himself. When his father died, he went to live with his aunt. She was jealous of young Sipiliyango and treated him poorly. One day he could bear it no longer and fled across the Tanzanian border into Malawi. Grandfather married, had three sons and a daughter. He raised cattle and listened for cowbells to find his herd on the long stretches of land where they grazed.
Parables and Hard Work
Each story had a purpose. Life's challenges became parables in which Grandfather shared how he faced problems. Yohane and Stefan listened intently and tried to learn how to make their way in the world of adults.
Yohane says that he's used to hard work. He quit school two years ago to tend to Grandfather. Age eroded Grandfather's stature. He seemed to shrink at a rate rivaling the boys' growth. They grew. He shrank. Then one day they were eye level. They grew again. He shrank once more, and Yohane found he could look down on Grandfather as he hobbled in slow measured steps with the support of his blue gum walking cane.
Yohane prepared meals. He bathed Grandfather. Trips to the borehole became increasingly frequent. More water was needed to heat the tea that soothed Grandfather's chronically shivering body. Yohane helped Stefan get ready for school while shelving his own dreams of becoming a doctor. The more he cared for Grandfather, the more Yohane dreamed of simply knowing which medicine would soothe which ailment without having to rely on distant clinics for advice. Perhaps his younger brother would make it. Yohane's studies would have to wait. He was needed at home.
Life, these days, is choreographed domesticity. The brothers take turns cooking in their smoke-smudged kitchen, where a cricket chirps like a ticking clock. Stefan's slingshot lies haphazardly on the floor. He sometimes uses it to hunt birds to supplement their meals. They do their own laundry and tend the crops together. Grandfather left them well cared for, a two-room house -- large by village standards -- five cows, two acres of land. Yohane, however, was forced to sell two of their cows to buy provisions. It was a temporary solution that took with it the daily income earned from selling milk. He and Stefan began to seek piecemeal work helping lay bricks in the grueling sun during Malawi's dry season, and harvesting crops after the rains.
Help From Friends and Neighbors
Hope and healing come in increments for Yohane and Stefan. Yohane finds ways to provide his brother with small luxuries. Since kerosene is so costly, he engineered a simple lamp with four D batteries and an LED light thinner than the nail it hangs from, so that Stefan can study after the sun dips behind the horizon promptly at 6 p.m. each evening.
The village elders replaced the brothers grass-thatched roof with 23 sheets of corrugated metal purchased by selling a small parcel of the boys' land. The new roof saves the pair the daily chore of cutting and bundling tall grass. Collecting enough to cover a roof can take up to two months.
They rely on their small parcel of farmed land to get them through the year. They practice Grandfather's lessons and receive kind guidance on farming from experts sent by the Lusubilo Orphan Care project. The project, which means "hope" in the local language, is a Catholic Relief Services partner that works with children like the Mwanmuyinga brothers. They teach them when to vary crops and when to plant beans to fix nitrate into the soil. Lessons on planting and harvesting are intermixed with gentle queries on their well-being: how Stefan is doing in school, how Yohane is feeling about his workload.
The brothers' main concern, they say, is getting enough money to mill the maize they grow. Pounding the kernels into the coarse powder used to make their daily meal of nsima, dumpling-like corn cakes, takes precious hours they cannot spare.
Food Baskets and Dreams
Stories like Stefan and Yohane's are not uncommon in rural Malawi. Rampant rates of HIV, 12 percent, have left many orphaned. Communities struggle to meet the needs of the more than 1 million orphans and vulnerable children across the country. The Mwamunyinga brothers are fortunate: They had their Grandfather; their community does what it can; and additional support is provided through Lusubilo.
To supplement their harvest the boys also receive a food basket of 100 pounds of corn, beans, cooking oil and salt from the Lusubilo Orphan Care project. Something as seemingly small as a basket of food marks the difference between sending Stefan to school and feeding their dreams, or picking up piecemeal work and laying the bricks for the dream homes of others.
The baskets give the boys room to breathe, a chance to spend time on childhood pursuits, like games of hide-the-ball, or retelling Grandfather's stories. With the help of the Lusubilo project, Yohane is considering going back to school. He longs to feed his interest in science, gleaning from books the mysteries of the human body. Perhaps one day Yohane will sit on his own porch and tell his stories to his grandson about how he learned to make his way in the world.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Moorestown, NJ, United States, 2013/04/01 - The first quarter is coming to a close for the Lucentra Corporation and many new processes are being generated, including online workshops and consulting for search engine optimization - Lucentra.com.
The Lucentra Corporation is moving into its second quarter and is preparing to hold a conference call on May 1 regarding first quarter financial results. A press release relaying the findings will also be issued the same morning on Lucentras Investor Relations site.
The first quarter findings will involve bringing in an internal auditor who will assess the total spending, earnings and profit for the company. A mid-quarter analysis presented a 193 percent profit. However, this profit is expected to have increased by the end of the quarter to more than 200 percent. Speculation of increased profit is due to the stock Lucentra has with companies like Apple, AIG and American Airlines. In addition, both the Investor Relations site and the investment portfolio have been gaining profit. The numbers will be finalized during the May 1 quarterly findings.
Lucentra is also continuing with the integration of KDBM International staff. While Lucentra has been focused on consulting, the integration of KDBM will increase Lucentras use of educational tools. As one of these educational tools, Lucentra will be implementing branding academy workshops, which will teach business owners how to brand products and create business names. Lucentra wants to further its reach as a company working with business development and understands that both learning aspects are necessary to get on the track to success.
As its own entity, KDBM International specialized in educating businesses on various topics in preparation for marketing in other economies. It too had its own brand academy learning division. Lucentra intends incorporate KDBMs teaching expertise in order to gain techniques that will round out consultation of business development. The workshops are expected to begin sometime in the second quarter and will promote education through the use webinars and other online presentations.
Additionally, Lucentra will be working with Google to provide Google apps. The company will also offer meta-tagging and key wording to increase businesses search engine optimization.
With regards to this, Lucentra plans to help businesses manage AdWords and learn more about gaining online exposure. AdWords allow businesses to display advertisements in order to attract more customers. Essentially, a team of consultants would step in to assist the client in using AdWords, resulting in as much as exposure as possible. This is a feature offered by Google, but Lucentra will be offering it to help businesses limit spending.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Thank you for your post. Please permit me to assist you with your concerns.
My apologies but if you are not an attorney, you cannot represent your son in court. It would be considered 'unauthorized practice of law'. While your son can represent himself, or you can represent yourself, you cannot represent him. Even if he may want you to represent him, no attorney would permit it, even if you appear with a 'power of attorney' signed and notarized document. Your son must hire counsel if he is physically unable to appear, you personally cannot appear and represent anyone other than yourself.
Hope that helps and please let me know if I can answer anything else for you. Thank you.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello and thank you for using Just Answer,Florida does not have an inheritance tax and neither does federal. New York doe snot have an inheritance tax either.If it was p
If it was property you inherited and then sold that would place you in having to report the sale.
Reporting the sale does not mean you will be automatically taxed. If this was property you inherited then you would only pay tax on the gain. The gain would be the difference in basis and sale price.
Basis for inherited property is the fair market value on the day you inherit. So if you sale quickly there usually is no gain.
Relative died without a will.
What exactly did you inherit?
Property was sold by the city of N.Y. and eventually distributed to 8 cousins.
there was no mortgage.
Then what you inherited was cash and that is not taxable.
Had you actually inherited the property and then sold that would be as I explained above.
The cash you received is not taxable to you.
Thank you

London, Jan 18 (ANI): Women are programmed to be 'gold diggers', claim scientists, who found that the wealthier the man is, the more frequently his partner has orgasms.
"Women's orgasm frequency increases with the income of their partner," said Dr Thomas Pollet, the Newcastle University psychologist behind the research.
The expert reckons the phenomenon is an "evolutionary adaptation" that is hard-wired into women, driving them to select men on the basis of their perceived quality, reports Times Online.
The idea behind the study of Pollet, and Professor Daniel Nettle, his co-author, is that the female orgasm is an evolutionary adaptation that drives women to choose and retain high-quality partners.
To test the belief, the experts used data gathered in one of the world's biggest lifestyle studies. The Chinese Health and Family Life Survey targeted 5,000 people across China for in-depth interviews about their personal lives, including questions about their sex lives, income and other factors. Among these were 1,534 women with male partners whose data was the basis for the study.
From the analysis, they found that 121 of these women always had orgasms during sex, while 408 more had them "often". Another 762 "sometimes" orgasmed while 243 had them rarely or never. Such figures are similar to those for western countries.
There were of course, several factors involved in such differences but, said Pollet, money was one of the main ones.
He said: "Increasing partner income had a highly positive effect on women's self-reported frequency of orgasm. More desirable mates cause women to experience more orgasms." (ANI)

Win Your Girlfriend Back Perfect Book
Posted on Feb 1 2013 at 02:18:03 AM in How-To
Have you recently become single again? Are you wandering around aimlessly, trying to figure out how to win your girlfriend back? It's time to wander over to your local bookstore and find a book to help you win her back. Keep in mind that not all the books available are actually going to offer real advice. Here are a few tips to help you find a book that might actually be able to help you.
First thing you should be mindful about is if the book you are looking at asks you to do crazy stunts to regain the attentions of your ex; put it right back on shelf. By following an advice such as this, all you're going to do is push your ex away and look like a fool.
So what should you be looking for? Here are three things:
1) Common Sense Solutions Geared Towards Men
Many of the books about winning back your ex are designed for women and so the advice will not really apply to you. Be wary of suggestions that imply that spending lots of money at your ex is the way to her heart. Chances are… this will not work. If it does, she is not worth your time anyway.
2) Clear, Concise Instructions
Self-help books are filled with lots of psychological jargon that sounds impressive but when you get done reading them, you realize you still do not have a very clear idea of your plan of attack. Look for books where the advice is written in layman's terms and that give you an easy to follow step-by-step instructions.
3) Make Sure They Offer an Alternate Plan
In the real world, the best-laid plans often fall apart. Be sure that the book you choose includes alternate plans. There are always unforeseen circumstances and the best plans allow room for alterations as the situation changes.
Perhaps the most important thing to look for in a book on how to win your girlfriend back is that it sounds like it was written by real people who have really had their hearts broken in the past. Dry, unemotional writing will probably result in dry, unemotional suggestions. Ignoring your feelings about the breakup will not bring you any closer to reuniting you with your girlfriend.
Most males generally hate asking for directions about how to do anything. If you are not likely to follow the advice given in the book then you might as well not waste your money on it. To find out more tips, visit http://www.ex-girlfriend-back.com

FILM; The Son of the Anime Master Begins His Quest for Honor
By CHARLES SOLOMON
Published: October 15, 2006
FOR Goro Miyazaki the summer ended on a bittersweet note. This 39-year-old filmmaker had the pleasure of seeing his first movie, the animated feature ''Gedo Senki,'' or ''Tales From Earthsea,'' blossom into the biggest hit of the summer in Japan, as it rose to the top spot and took in more than 7.3 billion yen (about $61.4 million) by the end of September.
But even his success brought inevitable reminders that he is, after all, the other Miyazaki. His Oscar-winning father, Hayao, regarded by many critics as the greatest director working in animation today, has earned much more with his own hits. Ursula K. Le Guin, author of the popular ''Earthsea'' novels, on which the new film was based, went out of her way to make the distinction on her Web site, calling the father ''a genius of the same caliber as Kurosawa or Fellini.'' She went on to complain about the liberties Goro and his new film took with her work.
''Of course a movie shouldn't try to follow a novel exactly -- they're different arts, very different forms of narrative,'' she wrote. ''There may have to be massive changes. But it is reasonable to expect some fidelity to the characters and general story in a film named for and said to be based on books that have been in print for 40 years.''
So the younger Mr. Miyazaki can be forgiven a bit of weariness. ''Sometimes I wish hadn't entered the same profession as my father,'' he said, speaking through an interpreter during an interview at Studio Ghibli, headquarters of the Hayao Miyazaki and the director Isao Takahata, in this suburb of Tokyo. ''I realized for the first time how difficult it is to be the son of Hayao Miyazaki. If I weren't involved in animated filmmaking, I would just have a simple, quiet, normal life.''
When American audiences will have the chance to judge Goro Miyazaki's work for themselves is an open question. There is currently no plan to distribute ''Gedo Senki'' to theaters in the United States; the rights are tied up with a 2004 Sci-Fi Channel mini-series.
In a telephone interview from her home in Portland, Ore., Ms. Le Guin said: ''Mr. Miyazaki's movie won't be shown as long as the Sci-Fi Channel people sit on their rights, which they have until '09, unless they decide to stop being a dog in the manger.'' Representatives from the Sci-Fi Channel did not respond to calls seeking a comment.
The film received an enthusiastic response at the Venice Film Festival this summer and is set for an eagerly anticipated European release in 2007.
Mr. Miyazaki based ''Gedo Senki'' primarily on ''The Farthest Shore,'' the third book in Ms. Le Guin's series, in which Ged, the Archmage, and Arren, Prince of Enlad, must defeat an evil sorcerer whose efforts to cheat death are destroying the balance that governs the realm of Earthsea. But Mr. Miyazaki added elements from the other novels and changed some aspects of the story. In the opening of the film, the darkness falling over the world causes Arren to stab his father; his quest for an escape from his crime leads him to Ged and the eventual confrontation with the sorcerer.
As a teenager Mr. Miyazaki read the ''Earthsea'' books, and he originally planned to make a faithful interpretation. ''But as I continued on the project, I realized that adapting the story exactly was not really what I should do,'' he said. ''In order for me to speak to younger audiences, some changes had to be made because of the gap between when the book was written and when I made the film. I feel that metropolitan culture is becoming a dead end and there's nowhere to go. I can't just shout, 'Return to nature,' but we need to rethink how we can live in cities yet remain close to nature.''
Ms. Le Guin offered a balanced response, saying: ''I thought the moral lectures in the film were spoken eloquently. In fact they were often quoted pretty directly from the books. But I didn't see how the action of the film justified them. They felt pasted on to me. I did not understand why Arren stabs his father, nor how and why he earned redemption.''
She added: ''I very much liked the scenes of plowing, drawing water, stabling the animals and so on, which give the film an earthy and practical calmness, a wise change of pace from constant conflict and action. In them, at least, I recognized my Earthsea.''
And Ms. Le Guin said, ''I get roundly scolded on my Web site by younger Japanese people for not understanding the movie. These people don't know the books, so they're not confused, as I was.''
Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghibli's president, acknowledged that the film had drawn some unfavorable responses. ''The reactions from some animation fans have been very negative,'' he said. ''They compare Goro's work and his father's, just as fans of the novels complain that the film is different from the books. I discovered that many fans of Hayao Miyazaki cannot accept anything else.''
The younger Miyazaki said it was Mr. Suzuki who initially persuaded him to take the considerable risk of following in his father's footsteps, after having worked as a landscape planner and serving as managing director of the Ghibli Museum, Mitaka, the wildly popular shrine to the work of the senior Miyazaki and Mr. Takahata.
''I had never thought about becoming an animation director,'' he said. ''I was deceived by Mr. Suzuki, who was very clever about making me feel I could do it.''
A slim, soft-spoken man, the younger Miyazaki has not yet said whether he will direct another animated feature, though his father and Mr. Takahata, the principal directors at Studio Ghibli, have been looking for younger directors for years, saying the organization needs new blood.
''I have advised him to do so, and Hayao Miyazaki supports his son's continued filmmaking,'' Mr. Suzuki said. ''Until 100 years ago in Japan a farmer's son became a farmer and a craftsman's son became a craftsman: the job was passed on to your child. In my opinion to have the same occupation as your father is good.''

Basically, Fantasy Art is art with magical or supernatural themes. It's a definition that seems straight forward, but because the variety of themes and subjects found in Fantasy Art is so vast, as a descriptive it's barely adequate. Fantasy Art is a genre where wondrous worlds of magic and myth are created. It's a place that's inhabited by fantastical creatures, furnished with legends and given life by the imagination of the artist.

He has gotten to the point where he hardly eats it, unless i sit on the floor with him and pass each kibble to him one by one (and each time he runs to the couch to eat it...silly guy) H e's been to the vets, everythings fine, but its time for a change to somthing much more yummy and of course healthy! He isnt a show dog, and we dont do agility or anything along those lines, so a diet geared towards that is not needed, he is just my pet So yes, im looking for any and all input... thanks!!opcorn:

Persevering through bullying
FARGO — The ugliness of bullying hasn't stopped Emily Kjonaas from seeing beauty in people.
"Individuals who go to the hospital need a lot of compassion and help. I know that this population can be looked down upon, but they don't deserve to be looked down upon," Kjonaas said. "I knew that these people needed someone to advocate for them, to care for them, to respect them as individuals and not as something else."
She knows what it's like to be mistreated. Growing up in Moorhead, Minn., she was constantly bullied in middle school for her appearance. Classmates called her "Godzilla" and spit on her locker. Some threw garbage, rocks, ice and snow at her. The bullying was so severe that as a teenager, Kjonaas spent time in psychiatric units and contemplated suicide.
But still, she forgave the people who'd harassed her. She took the microphone at a ninth-grade school retreat and thanked her classmates for making her a better person as a result of the bullying. After her story ran in The Forum, several former classmates apologized to Kjonaas for their actions in middle school.
"It made me feel, in a way, very loved to know they didn't hate me. But, a long time ago, I forgave them without them telling me that," she said. "It was a form of closure, but I hope it was better for them to apologize than for me to accept their apologies. I learned that some of the kids who bullied me grew up in not-so-great families, and in a way, I can see why they bullied me. Does it make it OK? No, it doesn't, but looking back, I understand more of why."
Strangers, too, have stopped Kjonaas in public. They thank her for being brave and sharing her story.
"People who've been bullied have come to me and said, 'When I read your story, I read mine,' " she said. "It feels more weird than anything that people could see my story and have hope. I'm glad I've given people hope."
One of Kjonaas' middle school teachers gave her hope. Wayne Ingersoll, an English teacher who retired from Moorhead Area Public Schools in 2004, provided a safe place for Kjonaas when the hallways were too dangerous and the principal's office seemed pointless.
"He was able to let me know that someone cared, and especially someone in authority cared," she said. "I could go to his room and know that it was a safe place. I'd go home and cry myself to sleep, and I'd hate waking up in the morning because I knew what school was and that I felt more in danger there than I should've. In that little dangerous area, if I could have one room, Wayne's room, to be secure, then that's what got me going to school most days."
In his 28-year career as a teacher, Ingersoll said he saw "a lot more bullying than people think there is."
"Just walking by somebody and saying something unkind, that's an example of bullying. That's always happened, and I'm afraid it always will," he said.
Kjonaas agrees that bullying will continue, but she hopes to be an advocate for anyone experiencing it. She spoke to a group of seventh-graders at Moorhead's Horizon Middle School last fall and remembers how emotional the teens were during her talk.
"Knowing that I could go there and maybe even change one person there… it gives them something to think about," she says. "I enjoyed being the voice for a population that's usually voiceless."
Today, Kjonaas said her life's better than ever. She's excited about her career at the State Hospital and recently adopted a Shih Tzu puppy named Weasley (after the Harry Potter book series character Ron Weasley).
"He's my little sweetheart. He makes my apartment feel more alive," Kjonaas said.
She's still shy and often waits to be spoken to before starting a conversation, but she's learning to stand up for herself and others.
"I'm able to take things and be an adult about it," Kjonaas said. "I see myself standing up for other people more than myself."
The bullying isn't totally gone — she occasionally hears unkind remarks about her appearance — but she speaks up and lets people know she doesn't appreciate their comments.
"Every now and then, I fear that something will pop up, but I know better now how to work through all of that," she said. "I haven't been truly clinically depressed since early high school. I haven't had anything major happen, so I think that period of my life is over."

Greendale - Faoi Ghlas
"Things are changing at a furious pace. But in reality things are disappearing in society that were working. And Greendale was working." - Paul Mercier, Artistic director, Passion Machine and former teacher.
Greendale Community School in North Dublin is to close on 1st June 2007. After 32 years serving the community of Kilbarrack, the final 57 students will pass through its gates. A school which started with the same headmaster, will finish with the same headmaster.
Anton Carroll sees this as more that just the passing of a school, but of a way of life.
He and other members of the staff, including Betty the dinner lady, have been there from the very beginning. He has travelled the same road, and seen pretty much, the same faces during his working day over the lifespan of the school. From the very beginning, its ethos took into account that they were being put in place for a young, newly created community. His work has involved including not just the parents, but the entire community in school activities; the magnificent sports hall was as active through the years when in use by locals and Killester Basketball club as it was by the students. Packie Bonner, Technical Director of the FAI is part of the campaign to keep this important community asset open after the school closes.
Catherine Buckley is the home economics teacher for many years. She used to get upset when approaching her summer holidays each year. Before she had a family of her own, the kids and teachers in Greendale were her family. With less than 20 days left before the school closes she and the other teachers still don't know what's to become of them. Will they be given new positions and if so where? Or will they be made redundant. For three years they've been slowly watching their students move on to other schools, slowly seeing the classrooms grow smaller and smaller, and still they have no idea of what the future holds for them.
Paul Mercier says that when he joined Greendale in 1982, "it was like the wild west"? He learnt straight away from Roddy Doyle, another teacher at the school who knew the community well, that you had to treat the kids with respect to earn respect. As far as he was concerned the school had everything - a state of the art gym, magnificent cookery, science, woodwork, metalwork and horticulture facilities and a wonderful way of getting the best out of their students. He saw and heard so many stories that the one thing they were missing was the means in which to tell those stories. And so began a wonderful culture of dramatic productions, everything from Blood brothers to Gregory's Girl, all captured on home video. Paul finds it hard to imagine the community without Greendale and feels angry that just because the school never concentrated on being in the top ten education league, they are seen as less worthy.
Anton Carroll has enjoyed every minute of his time in Greendale. He says that their approach of being non-exclusive and welcoming all comers into the school meant that the mix of students created fully rounded individuals. His anger has been worn down since the announcement of the school's closure three years ago. But he still asks the questions - why Greendale? Why a community school that will be needed again? Could it be that the land the school lies on is just too attractive for developers and it's location on the "Northside Riviera" perfect for apartments?
" It's as if they didn't really think it through. Like going into Iraq. They thought about going in, but they didn't really work out how to get out. They thought about closing the school but not about the future." - Anton Carroll, headmaster Greendale Community School
Greendale - Faoi Ghlas takes a look at a remarkable school and the end of an era for a community. Present and past pupils and teachers are part of her final soliliquy.

Doubts about first handgun selection
So I recently went to a local range and finally had the chance to shoot a Glock 26 after handling them in different shops. What I discovered was that the 26 is simply too small for me, and I couldn't get a comfortable grip on it. A grip extender might have helped, but then how is that any different from a 19? So I tried a 19 next and that was the ticket. Felt great in the hand, and I was doing much better on accuracy. So I pretty much had it settled, I want a Glock 19.
Or so I thought. So I was doing some more pre-purchase research since I found the 19 that I wanted to buy online and was going to order a box of defensive ammunition with it as well since I have no handguns (What good is a Glock with no ammo?) and started wondering about the differences between the grain loads. It was here that I found in different places people reporting second-hand stories of people who have been shot with 9mm rounds and not being stopped. One person I recall was talking about how the guy shot the bad guy 10 times with a 9mm, only 2 rounds expanded inside him even though he was using JHP and one of the rounds actually went through and hit his friend but didn't penetrate much. This guy was not trying to speak of the downsides of the 9mm caliber itself, as he was commenting on which grain to select. But I made this connection and it has made me concerned about the effectiveness of the 9mm caliber.
I don't even want to start any sort of 9mm vs. whatever caliber thread here, I know it's been hashed to death. What I would like to know however, is if a .40 Glock would perform any better. The range I was at had a decent deal on a new Gen 3 23 for around $485. At the time I was only interested in the 9mm variant, but now I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't consider the 23. I know the 23 can also be converted to 9mm, which gives it some versatility as well - but I probably wouldn't run out and buy the barrel right away. I know Glock is a polarizing brand, but personally I like the looks and feel. For whatever reason, I think they look good - something about the spartan square shape, over some other polymer pistols which have lots of ridges and angles that just don't look as good. I love a great looking 1911 too, so don't get me wrong - but I like the Glocks for more than just their reliability.
But looks aside (a frivolous concern), I'm also wondering about a .45. If Glock made a compact .45, I'd probably be looking at it. The only options are the 21 (too big) or the 30 (too small). The 36 looks like it might work since it's only a tad smaller than the compact frame, but I don't know anything about it - or how Glock .45's perform since 9mm is their bread and butter.
So I'm at an impasse here. Does anyone have any first, second, or third hand experience with the effectiveness of .40 over the 9mm? I'd strongly prefer to stay with a Glock, but I'm open to considering something else if it has a similar reliability record. I just like how Glocks can be serviced anywhere, simple field strip, and so on. I'd love to have a 1911 eventually, but I figured I would buy one of the nicer ones which means probably around $850-$1000 or more - and I really don't want to spend that much right now. This gun is going to eventually be a conceal carry, but for now it will just serve as home defense and range practice. I've set a standard for myself that I absolutely will not consider carrying until I am so familiar and comfortable with the gun that using it is second nature and I consistently have no misses at realistic ranges/sizes. I feel comfortable with the size of the 19/23, 1911's seem to be a bit bulkier to carry as I haven't had my hands on any of the commanders to see how they feel.
The current price point I'd like to set is no higher than $550 new or used, if I need to consider other choices. Would anyone care to help me out with their opinions and thoughts? Would greatly appreciate the guidance!
You can always get the G23 (.40 cal) and get a conversion barrel for 9mm...... Two handguns in one :D
Hmm, so I thought about the .40 option - I agree it is nice to be able to shoot either the 9mm or .40, but shouldn't one practice with the .40 then? If you practice with the 9mm, wouldn't it leave you ill-prepared if all you regularly shoot is the 9mm? Using the 23 as a 9mm seems like a good option for someone who isn't sure which of the two calibers they prefer since it's cheaper than buying the 9mm and finding you want the .40 and having to go buy a .40 in addition.
I want to tread these waters very carefully, but I guess what I'm wondering - are there any sub-$500 1911's or other poly guns that offer the same kind of reliability as a Glock, but in .45? No FTFs, no FTEs, just pretty much fire no matter what you put in them?
Yes. You bought the wrong gun. You bought a Glock. ;)
That's OK, Scott, don't be sad, someday he'll have more than
change for a nickel, and he'll be able to buy a real pistol...:cool:
All handguns suck for stopping determined attackers. With GOOD modern defensive loads, the difference between a 9mm, a .40, or a .45 is not worth arguing endlessly about. Pick what you shoot best. Pick what you can practice with most. Pick what you will be able to score multiple hits with, as rapidly as you can. Pick a round that will get adequate penetration (all three of these are capable).
And pay no attention to the Glock hate. Every brand has their fans and every brand has those that dislike them. Pick what you shoot well. Train with it so you understand how to safely employ it. You'll be fine.
I carry the Glock 17 with a back up 17 round magazine under a coat in the winter.
If the bad guy doesn't go down after getting blasted by 34 rounds of Hornady JHP,then he is either
2.A vampire
3.A ghost
As the case of the Glock 19,15 rounds and a back up 15 round magazine should do.Unless you are in a Hollywood style shootout.I honestly do not see anyone getting up and walking away after so many gun shots.
I do not feel underpowered with a 9mm,but I also too have been looking into a Glock 22 or 23 for more stopping power.
But in the end,carry what works for you and what you feel comfortable with.
On a side note,many law enforcement agencies do carry the .40 S&W,like the FBI ,U.S. Marshall.It does have more recoil over the 9mm,but when I last fired a Glock 22,it wasn't too painful,but felt like it twists more than anything.:confused:
I think you will be fine with either one.Heck,you can get Glock 23 GEN 2 LEO trade ins for very cheap,same with the Glock 22 if you don't mind the absence of a accessory rail.Get them both:)
Navy Seals carry a 9mm sig 226. And those that they have killed haven't complained yet
And a Glock 19 will accept Glock 17 mags if you wanted a bigger backup mag. A 26 will take the 19 or 17 mag as well. All if them will accept the 33 round Glock 18 mags if you really think you need some firepower.

Leveraging LRI-Funded Studies—$22 Million Generates $100 Million
A total of $22 million was invested in the six grant groups reviewed as part of this report. To date, the original investment has expanded into $100 million in follow-on lupus research funding from the NIH, other non-profit funding organizations and industry.
- 45 of the investigators (60 percent) obtained large-scale funding to expand their LRI research
- 50 grants, valued at over $84 million in total, were awarded to the LRI investigators by the NIH
Over 220 research scientists are working to further develop research themes that originated from LRI-funded work. This critical mass of scientists includes principal investigators, as well as fellows and graduate students, who are being equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to be future research leaders in lupus.
"The LRI strategy of funding novel scientific ideas in lupus has more than demonstrated its power. The LRI model strengthens the lupus research landscape by moving novel concepts forward to secure large-scale federal funding, and expanding targets for eventual treatment strategies that can benefit patients."
—William E. Paul, MD, chief of the Laboratory of Immunology at NIAID-NIH, NIH Distinguished Investigator and chair of the LRI Scientific Advisory Board

An ad hoc delegation for relations with the Palestinian Authority was set up on 3 November 1993. The standing Delegation was created on 12 December 1996. In 2015, by a European Parliament decision, the name of the Delegation was changed to Delegation for relations with Palestine from Delegation for relations with the Palestinian Legislative Council.
The delegation is responsible for 'maintaining and developing Parliament's international contacts', while focusing on 'the parliamentary dimension', which in this case refers to relations with the Palestinian Legislative Council.
The Delegation holds regular working meetings and hearings to prepare for meetings with its Palestinian counterpart which are most often held in Palestine owing to the difficulties encountered by the members of the PLC in leaving their territory. The situation has become even more delicate since the isolation of the Gaza Strip in 2006. Meetings thus take place in Ramallah and Gaza.
Depending on events in the region, the delegation can hold joint meetings with the relevant parliamentary committees (AFET, DROI and DEVE) or other delegations with responsibility for the region, such as the Delegation for relations with Israel or Delegation for relations with the Mashreq countries.

OUTSPOKEN Senator Barnaby Joyce has put nuclear power on the LNP's agenda in the lead-up to the next federal election following Queensland's decision to resume uranium mining.
Queensland Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney yesterday told a business lunch that if the Federal Government was prepared to increase exports of uranium, then Queensland must seize the export opportunity.
Senator Joyce applauded the decision but went further, asking if it was OK to export uranium, then why was it not right to use yellowcake for nuclear power in Australia.
"Let's be honest, if you think nuclear energy is immoral, why on earth are you exporting uranium?" he said during a brief visit to Brisbane.
"If we are fair dinkum about reducing carbon emissions, and we want to have a minimum carbon emission form of power, then uranium is where it's going to be."
He said he would welcome a debate on nuclear power in Australia as would many of those in government.
The comments came as federal Resources Minister Martin Ferguson said yesterday nuclear power was not part of Australia's future.
"The Australian Government has basically said we are committed to all potential forms of clean energy from an innovative point of view, other than nuclear, which is a proven clean energy technology," he said.
The State Government's rush to announce its uranium backflip has left Queensland without any policy on environmental and health safeguards.
Premier Campbell Newman offered a guarantee the environment and public health would not be adversely affected by uranium mining.
The powerful left-wing union, the Electrical Trades Union, has said it will ban members from working in any uranium mine in Queensland because of the risk to the workers' health and to Australia's environment.
University of Queensland academic Associate Professor Barry Noller said there was little risk from uranium mining in Australia because of the strong safeguards that were imposed following environmental problems at the Rum Jungle mine in the Northern Territory in the 1970s.
The Government will this week announce an implementation committee whose job will be to investigate safeguards and it is likely they will look to other mining states for guidance.
Mr Newman said he could "absolutely" guarantee the safety of mining because of Australia's strong record in the area.
"The thing that I point to is what's going on in other states," he said. "I have personally and members of my team not had a problem with uranium mining."
While there have been many reportable incidents at uranium mines in South Australia, they appear to have been minor and with little or no impact on health or the environment.

text: I have had a split vote up till now whether to use chain link fenceing or wooden fenceing (stockade style), and those opinions come from fenceing builders and from what i have read. My primary goals are privacy,marking boundry lines,and security. Chain link you can see through. That is my main reason to be dubious about chain link. The wooden fence one can not see through,but is said to not last as long as chain link. The fence is for a backyard area that backs up to vegetation then next to that is a duplex. Chain link is said to last longer than a wooden PT fence.The debate goes on just wanted to get some opinions from here. As far as some other areas in my front yard area i would like to landscape a fence of bushes in a line. What kind of "general plants/bushes" would be good for that that grow fairly quickly,bushee and full and grow to 2 to 4 ft. high? This will be in Florida,most things grow in the soil here according to a soil sample test,partial to full sun,and hearty. Preferably a plant /bush that blooms as well. Thanks all!

Varicella-zoster (chicken pox) vaccines for Australian children:
information for GPs and immunisation providers
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV)
Epidemiology and burden of varicella and herpes zoster
Herpes zoster (HZ) or 'shingles' is a sporadic disease, caused by the reactivation of latent VZV. It is usually self-limiting and is characterised by severe dermatomal pain. This pain can persist (post-herpetic neuralgia), especially in the elderly.7 Although HZ can occur at any age, incidence increases with age (in contrast to chickenpox) and most cases occur after the age of 50.8
Vaccine efficacy and recommendations for use
Varicella vaccination is recommended for Australian children at the age of 18 months and will be funded from November 2005. Vaccine efficacy in children is reported to be 88-98% from clinical trials,9 but vaccine effectiveness measured in outbreaks has ranged from 44% to 100%.10 Younger age at vaccination (below 15 months) appears to increase the risk of vaccine failure, probably because maternal antibodies are still present in some children at 12-15 months, reducing immunogenicity of the vaccine.11 This is one reason why the vaccine is recommended at 18 months of age in Australia.
The response to a single dose of varicella vaccine decreases as age increases. Healthy adolescents (14 years and older) and adults require two doses, 1-2 months apart.12 Vaccination is recommended for all adolescents and adults who are not already immune. It is particularly recommended for those at high risk of exposure to, or complications from, varicella, such as health care workers, child care workers, non-immune women before pregnancy and parents. Vaccination of non-immune household contacts of immunosuppressed persons is also important to prevent transmission of varicella to the immunocompromised person (see page 284 AIH). As part of the funding for Varicella vaccination, children aged 10-13 years who have not received the vaccine or who have not had the disease are eligible for free vaccine from November 2005, as part of a long-term catch-up program.
