I am currently shopping for a new sub compact for CC once I get back from Afghanistan. I love the glock line, and have shot a lot of different models that they have to offer except the sub compact models. My only concern between the G26/27 is the recoil of the bigger .40 cal. I would gladly give up the bigger bullet for a better shot group that can possibly be had with the smaller 9mm. I would like the bigger caliber if it can be controlled well so I can make them 2nd, 3rd + shots if needed. My intention is to be proficitent with the pistol as it is built, without using any sort of extra extender for the magazine. I'm just wondering how much more recoil the .40 has over the 9mm when firing the gun without using the pinky. Just trying to get some sort of a gauge before I am able to put some rounds down range with them.

Both are same in size. I found the .40 a bit snappier with the recoil, but controllable. I'm faster with the G26 and 9mm, probably because I shoot it more often. 9 mm ammo is cheaper
I dont have a mag extender on my G27. I wrap my pinky under the mag. I find it very easy to control. I can shoot a 3 inch group center mass at 7 yards no problem. I can shoot multiple mags with no hand pain. Ill take the .40 over the 9mm anyday.

go with the .40 if that's what you want. Just adapt to it.

Wormy is right on.
I've owned both. My son took the G26. The 27 is obviously a bit more recoil, but not bad. Shooting both before you buy is always good. Considering all factors- I like the .40 power better.

Just call this a .40 vs 9mm thread so we can all avoid it
Has anyone mentioned with the G27 you can get a 9mm barrel or .357 sig and have three guns in one? Cant do that with the G26.

I got a 26 because I already had a 19 and wanted to use the 19 mags as spares and 9mm ammo was easier to find. I still plan getting a 23 and 27, since I don't have anything in .40. I've shot a friend's 27 quite a bit and the recoil difference is negligible.

Don't ignore the differences in ammo. You can get a hot 9mm that will approximate the 40 in energy, or you can get a light 40 load that will approximate the 9mm in recoil.
Personally I have a G26 which I love. I do have the extended mag with the 12 rounds which makes me feel safer. I know, that's bull but I do.
I also have a G23 and on it the recoil is very manageable. The G27 is only slightly lighter and smaller.
If I had to do it over I'd go with the G27. In fact, I am contemplating getting one. Maybe I'll end up with all the Glocks, if I'm lucky.
I have the 27 myself, but did get a 9mm barrel and mags. I just shot both, one after the other, and there is a slight bit more recoil to the .40, but not enough to concern yourself with. Like said, Federal makes a 135 grain, low recoil self defense round for the .40, or get a hot 124 gr. for the 9mm. Not a whole lotta difference. I like the ability of going up to 180 grain with the .40 if I want to. A company called Gap makes a flush floor plate for the 26 & 27 mags that has a small extension, only going foward, so it does'nt make the gun any bigger. I have'nt tried them yet, but it looks like it gives you a better grip than without them. Hope this helps..
P.S. It took all of 15 seconds to swap from .40 to 9mm
Last edited by boatail; March 28th, 2010 at 12:03 AM. Reason: add a p.s.
I bought the 26 due to ammo price and capacity. If you can swap for 9mm parts in a 27, that may be the ticket though.
My GLOCK goes BANG every time!
I carry a 27 off-duty. I used to have a 26 as an off-duty with my previous dept. The difference in recoil is minimal IMO. I am able to dump 10 rounds rather quickly into a 10" target at 7 yards with my 27. My dept issues Fed Hydra-shok in 165gr.
However, when I retire and must purchase my own ammo, I may consider getting another 26. I'll have to see what my financial situation is at the time.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!

Have you ever had a fashion faux pas?
Once I went to a premiere and I think I was trying to be trendy by wearing this thin scarf, except it was really colourful and it looked bizarre. I hope nobody finds the photo. I'm really into fashion and don't need people telling me what's a trendy look because I don't necessarily go for what's in right now. I know skinny jeans are in fashion, but my legs will look stupid in them, so I wear things that suit me.
How vain are you?
I have a personal trainer for the gym. I mainly do weights but I run two or three times a week. It keeps you in a good mood. I've been cursed with fat kid syndrome, so when I go off a diet, I get fat. When I was young I was real chubby – there are pictures of me aged 17 where you wouldn't recognise me, I had a beard that covered most of my face. I was basically big, fat and hairy!
Are you metrosexual?
I'm aware of the need to look after myself. I was in the Caribbean the other week and noticed that women look good after the age of 50 but men just get fat and bald. I use moisturiser in the day and at night I swear by The Art Of Shaving products because shaving can affect the way your skin looks. But it's expensive.
Would you rather be complimented on your brains or your body?
In this industry, I find it refreshing when people say, 'It's nice to meet a pop star who is slightly intelligent.' On that note, I'll say body. Ha ha!
How would you rate your looks out of 10?
What would be an alright thing to say here? Eight? I'm happy. I often get complimented for my eyelashes.
What does a girl have to wear to get you going?
I have a serious thing about heels. If a girl is wearing a sexy pair of shoes, that will drive me bonkers. I'm very traditional – I'm a blokey-bloke who likes a sexy little girl to wear high, high heels. I'm not into tomboys.
How highly would your girlfriend rate you in the sack?
I think I'm pretty good actually. I've never had any complaints. I think if you are a giver – as long as you sort her out first – then you get no complaints. I'd say nine, but there is always room for improvement in any situation.
Ever joined the mile-high club?
No! I think that's rubbish. I don't want to have my arse squeezed against the toilet sink in a tiny plane. I can't be bothered with all that.
Where is the strangest place you have done it?
There was one time I did it on a pier, it was quite nice actually – romantic, but I'm not going into details.
If you could look like another man, who would it be?
I was only thinking the other day that Rob Lowe is a good-looking bloke. He doesn't get enough credit. Brad steals all the credit.
What's the kinkiest bit of fan mail you've ever received?
I've had some weird things. I got a picture from a girl who had super-imposed a picture of herself next to me and then – here's the best part – she put a baby in between us.
Have you ever had a rude dream about someone you shouldn't have?
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and go, 'Aaaaagh! What was I dreaming about her for?' Like work people or girlfriends of friends – I've had loads like that.
What turns you on and off a girl?
A turn-on for me is a fun personality. I don't care how fit you are, if you don't have a nice personality I don't care. I hate stuck-up girls.
Do you have a 'cougar' crush?
Salma Hayek has a great look. I guess she's around 40. (She's 43)

text: Martin Freeman joins Graham Norton's Guinness world record attempt The Sherlock actor will appear alongside Ronnie Corbett, Jimmy Carr, Radio Times columnist Sarah Millican and many more for Comic Relief's Big Chat Comments Written By Susanna Lazarus 10:28 AM, 20 February 2013 Sherlock and The Hobbit star Martin Freeman is to join a host of celebrities on Comic Relief's Big Chat with Graham Norton, where the talk show king will attempt to set a Guinness World Record for 'Most Questions Asked on a TV Chat Show'.

Also appearing are actors James Nesbitt, Warwick Davis and Russell Tovey, model Elle Macpherson, presenters Paddy McGuinness, Alex Jones, Steve Jones and Kirstie Allsopp, and celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal. Completing the line-up are Got To Dance judges Ashley Banjo and Kimberley Wyatt, JLS singer Aston Merrigold and gymnast Louis Smith, with musical performances from Example, Paloma Faith, Hurts and Laura Mvula. And as if that wasn't enough, Norton's support team of co-hosts includes chat-show veterans Sir Terry Wogan and Frank Skinner, alongside Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw and Greg James. Speaking about his world record attempt, Norton said: "David Walliams swam the Thames, John Bishop endured a week of hell and Eddie Izzard ran marathon after marathon after marathon.

Why have I only just read this thread ??? The obvious answer to this dispute is a good old throw down IMO
Why have I only just read this thread ??? The obvious answer to this dispute is a good old throw down IMO
Apologies in advance but i have only read the first 3 pages and the last one (p14).
Can somebody please tell me a) what is MMA, and what it means, and b) what it actually takes to become an MMA coach?
Ok so i know the answer to 'a', but let's face it 'MMA' was always about styles vs styles, then fighters cross-trained a few disciplines and were orginally classed as 'cross trainers' not MMA'ers... I know that people are having a go at certain instructors from certain styles, namely the traditional karate or kung-fu styles who are incorporating MMA into their gyms.
BUT! What's the difference between someone from a BJJ, JJJ, or wrestling background deciding to open an MMA gym, as to what this Qigong person is doing?
This leads to me 'b'. What does it take to be an MMA coach?
In my area (north east) there are thai-boxing gyms, kickboxing gyms, Judo clubs, boxing gyms and a few others all incorporating MMA into their gym. What gives them the right to do so?
My point is that MMA from it's inception (let's say Vale Tudo and early UFC days) to modern-day does not have any particular structure to it, in fact, it's structure is anything that the coaches choose to adopt and teach. So what makes a credible coach to a new coach from a traditional background 'cashing in' on the MMA name (as most people are doing including so called MMA coaches).
Would like to finish by saying this is only food for thought and in no way sticking up for, nor putting anybody down.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: open
I used to have a no.2 ranking on Google for a very relevant keyword for our web site.
Now I see that our competitors have stolen that spot and we have simply disappeared completely from the search ranking results?
Its almost as if they have intuition as what do do to achieve a good Google ranking and simultaneously rid ourselvces of ours.
Interestingly enough one of our affiliates took the no.2 spot from us before our cometitors stole it and they use Wepposition Gold. Im beginning to think that this is a worthwhile program and think that the threats of penalization is a lot of hot air.
Can anyone share a similar experience or possible offer any advice.

They're probably members here at WebmasterWorld. ;)
Watch what they have done and learn from it. That's the best part about SEO, it's ever changing and you can always learn something new.

Its almost as if they have intuition
I'm beginning to think there is a degree of intuition involved, picking up on subtle nuances. The best advice I can think of is to spend a lot of time analyzing. When there's a big drop there's a reason. When there's a minor change made that's followed by a noticeable shift, even a small one, it gives clues.
There's a lot to be learned by digging to find out why, and software can't do it.
Firstly, thanks for all the replies.
To SlyGuy: I am a member but do not spend enough time here. I endevour to change that!
To soapystar:
"external inbound links carry these keywords but internally hundreds of links point to these pages"
Does this mean that I was getting a high ranking for this keyword because there was a lot of my internal pages on our site increasing the value of this keyword. And that I was not receiving high quality linkage from external quality sites. (Although I dont think this is the case as we have a number of links pointing to us from quality sites but not many links going back to these particular sites?!)
Thanks again for your input.

Trudy Rubin: Loyal, astute and minus a major policy success
In this April 17, 2012, file photo, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton waves goodbye before leaving Brasilia, Brazil, en route to Brussels. Clintons plan for 2013 was simple. Shed embark on an epic swansong around the world as secretary of state, a dizzying itinerary of east-west and north-south flights that would take her past 1 million miles in the air at the helm of American diplomacy and perhaps break her own record of 112 countries visited while in the post. Her health got in the way and she was sidelined by circumstances beyond her control. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)

A couple of weeks ago I went to a Threshing Bee (which I'll talk about in another post) amongst other things, there was a little flea market being held there.
The prices were terrific and I came home with as many goodies as the children and I could carry.
A man at the flea market tried to sell me this horrible box.
I said "no thanks".
He said "how about a dollar".
"Well, okay".
It's a crime that someone spray painted this little ol' box silver and covered up the typography, but since it was so cheap I decided it was worth making over.
I slapped one coat of each of these paints on.
I didn't even have the paint dry between coats.
I just painted one layer on top of another.
Here's how it looked after the paint dried.
Then I broke out my "fancy" new wax and used it for the first time.
I wanted the piece to look older to match the inside of the box.
(which is pretty cruddy looking)
(in a good way :)
Here's the finished product.
I filled it with wild flowers from my back yard, they are inside mini vases that you can't see.
Next summer I hope to fill it with hydrangea's.
I'm putting in some bushes this Fall.
I upgraded my picnik account (for editing photos) so I'll be trying out different textures and lighting.
Hope it doesn't annoy anybody. ;)

VIXX's interactions with IU and Girls Generation garnering hot response
Rookie idol group VIXX was recently photographed with singer IU.
VIXX's leader N recently said on his Twitter, "IU senpai not only has a beautiful voice, and a beautiful face but a beautiful personality as well. Real V."
In the photo, IU and VIXX's members make the V-sign with their hands while smiling brightly.

Fans said, "IU and VIXX together is good!" and "I wish VIXX can become one of the 'nations singers' too!" as well as "VIXX has rescued our country from its previous existence," and various other responses.
VIXX's new single, "SUPER HERO" is currently gaining a lot of popularity.

Please read the following information so that you can have the best possible experience at the Self Help Center.
- How to come prepared to use the Self Help Center?
The Self Help Center , which includes the services of the Family Law Facilitator, helps people who need legal information but do not have lawyers. The Center can give you information, court forms, and help you understand your legal options. We cannot represent you and in most cases you will be required to fill out your own court forms with our guidance. We only help with very simple legal situations, often we may need to refer you to a private attorney or to the law library for you to do your own legal research. We help many people each day therefore we usually spend less than 15 minutes with each person and there can be a long wait. We are not responsible for the outcome of your case. Conversations with the Self Help Center are not confidential, we do assist parties on both sides of the case, and we can not assist you if you are currently represented by an attorney.
Come Prepared
When you arrive:When you arrive please sign in and you will be called in the order your intake form is turned in. Depending on how many people need assistance, the sign in sheet may fill up before the end of the stated hours of operation. We apologize for this, but we do not know how many people will need help on any given day. Many people arrive and line up outside the SHC at either 8 am for the morning session or 12:30 pmfor the afternoon session.
Be prepared to wait: The wait may be several hours after you check in. You may also need to return for multiple visits depending on your legal issue.
Cost for Services: There is no cost for the services of the Self Help Center but you may have to pay for copies and court filing fees at the clerk's office.
How do I hire an attorney? The Self Help Center cannot represent you or give the name of any specific attorneys. We can give you community resources to assist you in finding your own attorney. You may call the Lawyer Referral Service for a low cost attorney consultation at 831-425-4755.
What should I bring to Self Help Center? Try to bring a copy of your entire court file (including all of your court case numbers) and any documents that support your legal issue (such as pay stubs if you are modifying child support). Also bring a pen, stamps (you may need as many as 8), blank envelopes, and something to keep you busy while you wait. Please keep all cell phones turned off.
What if I don't speak English well? We cannot guarantee an interpreter. You may need to bring your own interpreter and someone to help you fill out your court forms in English.
Come in person: Your case is most important to you and you have the most knowledge about your case. We can not assist you if you send a family member or friend in your place.
Children: Children are not allowed at the Self Help Center. Your children are very valuable. The waiting time can be hard on them and you can be distracted by their needs. It is not in your children's best interest to be present when you are talking about your legal problems.
What if I just want a legal form? You can download any state court form at www.courts.ca.gov/forms.htm and local Santa Cruz Superior Court forms at www.santacruzcourt.org.
Program Changes/Office Closure: Due to our small staff there can be unexpected office closures. There are many days when the office is only staffed by one attorney. We are also closed in the afternoon the third Tuesday of each month. Please check our web site at www.santacruzcourt.org/self-helpfor our monthly calendar. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We have known for some time that the work demanded of England fast bowlers is excessive, yet when Jimmy Anderson is prepared to risk an ICC ban in order to get some rest, matters really have gone too far.
A joke, of course. At this stage, the nature of Anderson's altercation with Ravi Jadeja will be judged by the International Cricket Council, following complaints from India and England.
Only Anderson, Jadeja and those who saw their confrontation understand exactly what happened but one thing is certain: Anderson is not a popular man among England's opponents.
During the last three Ashes series, Anderson has wound up the Australians something rotten. While most of Michael Clarke's team have few concerns about hurling abuse, Anderson is the man who appears to annoy them the most.
As he anticipated Sri Lanka's win over England at Headingley, Mahela Jayawardene gave an extraordinary press conference, in which he took delight at discussing the home side's weaknesses.The tone and words were untypical of the man yet sources inside the Sri Lankan camp suggested Jayawardene, and his fellow expert batsman Kumar Sangakkara, had grown irritated by Anderson's demeanour in the game.
Anderson's aggressive attitude is recognised in the England dressing room, too. Asked about his verbal joust with Ishant Sharma on the fourth morning, Joe Root reflected on the irony of Anderson — his batting partner at the time — stepping in to restore peace.
Leaving aside the alleged incident at Trent Bridge, it has been clear for some time that it might be better for Anderson if he calmed down just a little. Here is a swing bowler with supreme gifts, able to move the ball both ways with little discernible change in action. These skills have brought him 359 Test wickets and among English bowlers, only Sir Ian Botham, with 383, has more. Sports stars use all manner of methods to gee themselves up. It is possible Anderson's is to start an argument with his adversary.
Memorable Test matches between England and India
Memorable Test matches between England and India
1/7 1971 - The Oval
For the first time ever, India won a Test match on English soil. Fans surged onto the pitch in celebration before the winning shot had even crossed the boundary.
2/7 1976 - Delhi
Captain Tony Greig masterminded England's first victory in India since the Second World War. It remains one of England's greatest performances against the Indians.
3/7 1980 - Mumbai
Ian Botham stole the show in a one-off Test in Mumbai, taking 6 for 58 and 7 for 48, as well as adding 114 with the bat.
4/7 1993 - Mumbai
After a strong first innings of the third Test of England's 1992-93 tour of India, The hosts hit back with force. Vinod Kambli's 224 went a long way to helping India claim the Test by an innings and 15 runs, completing a 3-0 series whitewash.
5/7 2007 - Trent Bridge
After staving off defeat in the first Test at Lord's on the final day, India turned up at Trent Bridge and produced one of their finest performances on English soil. Sachin Tendulkar top-scored with 91 as the tourists posted 481 to wrestle control of the match in their first innings. The Indians eventually won the Test by seven wickets on the final day. The result would prove decisive as India went on to win the three-match series.
6/7 2008 - Chennai
Tendulkar was again the hero as India successfully chased a monumental target to win by six wickets. The little master hit 103 not out as the hosts chalked up the 387 runs needed for victory. It remains the highest fourth-innings Test total ever recorded in Chennai and ranks among the highest successful fourth-innings chases ever.
7/7 2011 - Edgbaston
Alastair Cook hit 294 as England made 710 - 7 declared - their third-highest Test total ever. Big knocks from Andrew Strauss and Eoin Morgan also helped the cause after the hosts had bowled out the Indians for just 224. England eventually won by an innings and 242 runs before Tea on day four.
Certainly, he enjoys his tussles with the key men on the opposing side, whom he seeks to target. Clarke is one such example, Jayawardene and Sangakkara are others. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the captain of India, also belongs in that category and, if you believe England's version of events, he is the man pushing hardest for Anderson to be suspended. Anderson might decide to be careful what he says over the next five days yet in his body language and bowling style, England's attack leader is expected to be as forceful as ever. If India think this will persuade Anderson to take a step back, they are mistaken.
Here is the worry: before anything happened at Trent Bridge, we were reaching the point where the ultra-aggressive approach was becoming counter-productive, because Anderson's confrontational behaviour seems to be inspiring opponents at least as much as it does him. Australia were not affected by it last winter, while Sri Lanka believe the verbal stick they took from England players helped drive them towards series wins here in May and June.
Furthermore, there are a number of inexperienced players in this team, all of whom will look up to Anderson. England have been delighted, indeed, with the work behind the scenes that Anderson has done with the new men, passing on his knowledge and helping them adapt to a higher standard of competition. He might want to consider, however, whether the practice of regularly berating at opposition batsmen sets the right example. Anderson turns 32 on July 30. This is no impetuous kid.
Perhaps Anderson is grumpy because he is exhausted. In the last two years, he has sent down 7,209 deliveries, more than any bowler in internationals. He is paying the price for his talent and fitness levels and — most of all — because he is employed by a board who cram in matches at nearly every opportunity, showing scant desire to ease the strain on their bowlers. Whatever the reasons, this is a good moment for change of tack. Next time a batsman plays and misses, take a deep breath. Count to 10. Imagine a picture of Mitchell Johnson on a dart board. Anything to stop the ranting.
Anderson is too good to bother to squabble with unremarkable cricketers like Jadeja. The 5½ ounces of leather Anderson holds in his right hand is far more potent a weapon that any insult.Reuse content

We celebrated Biscuit's 3rd birthday a few weeks ago. We held a little PAWty at a local park with Biscuit's buddies Jackson Brown and Otto. There was carob flavored doggie cake and treats for the dogs and cupcakes for the people. Jack and Otto gave him some fantastic stuffed squeaky toys. He also received birthday wishes from his pup pals Fischer, Boscoe, Boady, Otto, BooBoo, Rocky, Bullseye, Drago and Duke. Too bad birthdays are only once a year!
As far as Biscuit was concerned, Thanksgiving couldn't have been better. We started off by going on a hike with Jackson Brown (see the handsome chocolate Lab in photo) in the morning! Biscuit and Jack swam and wrestled with each other a bit. Back at home, while the people were cooking, Biscuit napped and relaxed until dinner time. Dinner was canned food mixed with bits of chicken, sausage and some dry food. Biscuit polished it off in about 2 minutes. What a great way to start the holidays!
We took Biscuit on his first camping trip to Mammoth. Biscuit enjoyed himself very much. We went hiking every day and there was always water for him to wet those webbed feet of his in. He also had the good company of Tucker (see the sleepy yellow Lab in the photo) and Snoop (Golden). We're thinking of going again soon!!!

Review of Elitemeeting.com
EliteMeeting.com says that joining only takes two minutes and they aren't kidding! The registration process really was just a matter of a minute or so and far less painless than some other dating sites that give you a long set of questions to answer before you can start browsing your potential dates. As for those dates, the site has a massive client base with what seems to be members from all walks of life and not just the usual perfectly coiffed, manicured, and buff faire you see on other sugar daddy or wealthy dating sites. I guess that can be a pro or con depending on your individual tastes. I personally found the broad range of types interesting and a nice change from the usual. The free membership is somewhat limited as it only allows you to browse members and send them winks to other standard members and add them to your favorites list.
Sugar Daddy Dating Profiles:
In order to actually contact a member through a message or even send any type of contact to a paid member, you need to upgrade to one of their 4 membership options: bronze, silver, gold, or diamond. If you have an attractive profile that gets a guy's attention then you're bound to receive some messages, but if you're not happy with sitting around and waiting then you'll need to pay. Their prices are decent for their massive member base even though they are more expensive than a lot of the other sites in this niche. It is actually A LOT cheaper to opt for their 90 day membership deal than paying monthly too. Just remember that they automatically renew at the end of the term unless you tell them otherwise first. (Keep that in mind to avoid being one of the horror stories you hear about where a credit card keeps getting billed! That's usually the client's fault and not the dating service being sinister.) The page with the price list explains very clearly what you get with each package and is set up in a way that shows you the comparison between them very clearly so there's no wondering what gets you what.
EliteMeeting.com offers a few extra perks to paying members that I like, such as a matchmaking service where they choose mates for you as well as an advice service that allows you to ask questions and get advice on dating.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with my experience on EliteMeeting.com. The amount of members there are to choose from really did it for me and had to be my favorite aspect of the site and the experience. I also found their customer service very helpful when I did have questions, which is something I always appreciate…especially when giving someone my hard earned money! Oh! You also need a verified photo to complete your profile which I think is great since having a photo on a profile does make it easier to decide whether or not you'd be attracted to someone.

Who would want a demoncrat in office anyway?
Quote from: jb728b on August 31, 2007, 08:34:01 AMWho would want a demoncrat in office anyway?Those who want a communist/socialist government that robs us of our income in order to fund the growth and control of the government over our lives.
The Communist paranoia on this board is frightening. Goodness -- It's 2007. Communist paranoia ended before the Cold War did. This reminds me of the evolution discussions on one of the other boards.
If communism is so evil and such a harsh thing for Christians to allow why is the church growing in a communist country?
Oh give me a break. Talk about a red herring! If we were talking about a football team and you were defending one team as being better than another, I guess I could say, "I think if I'm not mistaken the idea was that we defend Christ not a football team, maybe I've got that one wrong."::rollseyes::The fact is that we can talk about all kinds of different topics. Sports, cars, plants, politics, relationships, music, video games, movies and if you started to talk good about one I could get onto you for not praising Christ instead. God made us with the capacity to enjoy life and to reason and think. There's nothing wrong with prefferring a form of government over another and I happen to prefer the kind where I'm free. It shocks me to think that anyone would want it another way seeing as how people from communists countries float across the ocean on old doors and driftwood just to come here--to the land of opportunity--and escape their communist oppressor.Capitalism is simply a free market where people are FREE to choose their own financial paths and to buy what they want. Sure some people get rich at it. Many used to be dirt poor and worked their way into riches. It's sinful for you to covet what they have. Are you saying you want communism in America?

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta yet. This is one amazing book. It's about a 17-year-old girl named Taylor who's had some kind of difficult past, who tries to find her mother and make sense of her memories. And of course, the enigmatic Jonah shows up again, to add to it all. If you read this one, you have to keep going after page 100. It's a bit hard to follow up until that point, but it's totally worth it.
I think I'll re-read it; I've mentioned it, like, 4 times on this website :S
Also, try Saving Francesca. It's another amazing one by Marchetta.

It has never been easy to get the right information about travel. To make it easy the Wikimedia Foundation has decided to create a travel site, focusing on providing the right information about travel easily. The foundation's board of trustees approved a proposal on July 11 to launch an advertisement-free travel site.
The proposal to launch a wiki travel site came from "a large group of editors at Wikitravel and some from Wikipedia." In fact, the Wikitravel community that includes FlyerTalk and FrugalTravelGuy is very interested in joining the Wikimedia movement. On July 11, Wikimedia Foundation's board of trustees approved a proposal to launch an advertisement-free travel site.
It was mentioned in the approval that 31 out of the 48 administrators of the Internet Brands-owned Wikitravel pledged to join forces with the Wikimedia Foundation's travel website. Apart from this, Wikivoyage, that broke with Wikitravel in 2006, about a year after Internet Brands acquired it, is also interested to join with the Wikimedia travel site. In fact, Wikivoyage is ready to contribute its articles as well as its name, URL, board and administrators.
However, the name of the new travel site has not been decided. Hope this new travel site will be of great value to people.

Do You Have BI On BI?
Posted by Boris Evelson on January 20, 2013

BI is used to build, report, and analyze business performance metrics and indicators. What about measuring the performance of BI itself? How do you know if you have a high-performing, widely used BI environment? Is your opinion based on qualitative "pulse checks" or is it based on quantitative metrics? BI practitioners who preach to their business counterparts to run their business by the numbers need to eat their own dog food: run their BI environment, platforms, and apps by the numbers. For example, do you know:
- How many reports and queries do end users create by themselves versus how many IT creates? That's a great efficiency metric.
- How many clicks within a dashboard does it take to find an answer to a question? That'/s another great efficiency metric.
- How long does each user stay within each report? Do they just run and print the reports, or export the data to Excel, or do they really slice, dice, and analyze the information? That's a good example of how effective your BI environment is.
- Do you see any patterns in BI usage? User by user, department by department, or line of business by line of business?
- How many reports, queries, and other objects are being used, how many are shelfware (not being used)? How often are people using the ones that are being used?
I find surprisingly little research out there on this subject, so we plan to publish a report on it. With that in mind, I'd like to solicit your input. If you have some experience, specific use cases, and best practices, please share them with me. For example:
- I named a few metrics above, but I am sure we can come up with dozens more. Do you have any good examples?
- Can these metrics be organized by categories, like efficiency metrics or effectiveness metrics?
- Do you have any benchmarks that show what the targets/goals for these metrics should be?
- If you are a BI software vendor, do you build such functionality into your product?
- If you are a BI systems integrator, do you have such a service offering for your clients?
- Can you share any best practices on how to collect, organize, present, and manage these metrics?
- Do you agree that BI on BI (performance management of BI) should be a key function of BI competency centers/centers of excellence?
- I am only aware of two vendors — Appfluent and Teleran — that provide this type of a solution across multiple heterogeneous BI vendors, applications, and databases. Are there others?
I'm sure that I've missed some questions I should be asking — so I'd appreciate any comments and any contributions to this post.
Knowledge worker metrics--to and from
Comment from Mark Montgomery on Fri, 01/25/2013 - 11:42
Boris, early in Kyield's voyage nearly a decade ago now in R&D, we incorporated two key ingredients into this mix, one of which you covered in Future of BI report a year ago, and this being the second.
As I think you are aware, I've been a proponent of extending BI functionality to and from entire workforce, or as much as possible-- really since the very earliest capabilities came online in the mid 1990s. Many good reasons for it--from innovation to security, productivity and crisis prevention. Based on really ancient good management principle of all employees being the "eyes and ears" of the organization, with the potential to better align incentives towards corp needs and mission.
As part of our architecture, the rich meta data in documents and communications is combined with data from PC/smart devices, analytics, and our performance ratios with self-managed functionality in the digital workplace-through our patented individual module (within org parameters set in corp 'CKO' engine), resulting in performance metrics not just on knowledge workers in the organizations, but through them metrics on the organization itself that are otherwise not captured with traditional BI methods- financials, for example. Each entity can visualize their own metrics and set goals, with privacy and security tailored to each situation.
I am not claiming that all functionality is the same on all devices--they aren't, and regulatory/culture/policy issues also vary widely around the world, which is only one reason why our system is continuously adaptive through data management rather than code work. Other reasons include innovation/differentiation/competitive advantage/TCO.
When we first produced a demo presentation- maybe 7 years ago now, quite a bit of evolution needed to take place in productivity suites, HPC, smart devices, and DBs, but we were (finally) able to confirm sufficient functionality to meet min requirements in 2011, which is why we moved to pilot phase in 2012. There is still a fair amount of data prep and integration work involved, but much less so than most other enterprise systems, particularly given the potential ROI in corp and human performance, higher level governance, and more informed and timely decisions.
A challenging metric to capture, but far more doable with such a system, is organization-wide (BI) awareness in NRT. To some not all that important--to others it can be the difference between survival or not, and leadership. Hope this helps--MM
BI should make the work of the user effective
Comment from Tak Ng (not verified) on Thu, 06/06/2013 - 15:27
Drucker's "Management: Tasks, Responsibilities and Practices" talks about the effectiveness of tools for a user.
BI can be seem as a kind of control tool for the knowledge worker. A control system is effective when it only alerts the worker of the exceptions or important events that requires human intervention. This idea applies in finance (low revenue, high spending), health care (deviation of a disease from the pattern), etc. This is efectiveness. It makes BI agile for the worker.

Williams upsets No. 5 Union
Growney scores two goals, three assists to lead the Ephs
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- Williams (3-6) recorded their third win of the season, beating No. 5 Union (7-2) 8-6. Despite giving up two early goals to the Dutchmen, the Ephs rallied to break their two-game losing streak. Colton Growney led the Eph's offense, while Ethan Meyer scored three goals for the Dutchmen.
Head Coach George McCormack thought the win was the result of "good consistent play from our defense." He remarked that the "offense was very unselfish, and made sure to take the time to make the extra pass and to place the ball when shooting."
Union players Meyer and Ted McKenna were able to sneak two goals past Williams goalie Sean Dougherty in the first quarter. The Eph offense, led by Growney, tied up the game in the second quarter. Growney second goal was assisted by senior attacker Charles Gephart.
An unassisted goal from Mericos Rhodes 45 seconds into the third quarter gave Williams the lead. Senior Sam Hargrove scored two minutes later and again with 4:39 to go in the quarter. The Ephs finished the quarter up 5-2.
McCormack was particularly proud of Williams' play in the third, stating that "Union is an outstanding team, and the game was pretty square, but we had a really good third quarter."
Union's Nolan Connors broke Williams' run, scoring Union's third goal a minute into the fourth quarter. Rob Santangelo followed up a minute later to cut the Ephs' lead to one. Evan Dedominicis responded, making the score 6-4. Meyer would score the Dutchmen's final two goals of the game a few minutes later to tie the game 6-6. Will Stewart, assisted by Growney, gave the Ephs the go-ahead goal with 3:07 remaining in the game. Michael Acierno had the final word, scoring Williams' eighth goal in the last minute of the game.
Dougherty recorded 14 saves on 20 shots, while Union's Sean Aaron recorded 12 saves on 20 shots. McCormack thought that the team did a good job supporting Dougherty, and that the first-year keeper played an "oustanding game. He really was the player of the game."

Return Air Duct size question
1 Attachment(s)
Hey there all, new here and I am looking for some advice.
I am getting ready to install a Goodman GMVC 95% 2 stage, variable furnace and I am revising my ducting in the house, it was a good design but I want to make sure that the furnace is going to run to it's best potential.
Some specifics on the house 1200 SQ FT. Cape cod style house, built in 1938, located in SW Michigan. We had new windows installed in the house, which is a drastic upgrade over the single pain units:)
I purchased all the software and tools and what not and did a ton of research on equipment sizing and all of that. That being said with everything calculated out I bought a 70K, well actually 69K input furnace and 2 ton 16 SEER AC.
Currently the 30 year old furnace heat exchanger has a small hole in it and the gas meter is humming when it is running, it is currently 105K input 80% eff. with no AC. So I need to get all this done in a rather quick fashion. :)
Now for the supply ducting what I have calculated out is that the current supply from the furnace is 8X16, to 8X14 to 8X12, isn't adequate and I need to up size the supply ducting to 8X20, to 8X16 to 8X14 Forgot to mention that the furnace is on one side of the basement. This is one portion that I am modifying, but I am also going to convert the supply registers in the bedrooms to return air ducts and move the supply's to the outside wall as they are all on the inside wall except for the living room. I am also going to cap off the big return in the kitchen, add a supply register in it's place, run another supply to the upstairs as there is only one feed currently and it needs at least two more as well as return air up there.
This brings me to the question on the return air duct, currently the duct right above the plenum down to the furnace is 8X24 then as it runs down it drop down to 8X12 about 4 feet after the furnace. Question is being that I am converting the supply vents in the lower bedrooms to returns, then I should upsize this return duct as well, correct. It should note that the 8X12 duct also has the return air from the kitchen, which I really think is grossly undersized. as there is only two returns in the house currently, one directly above the furnace near the front door and one in the kitchen which is on the other end of the house.
Any advice would be great, thanks for the help. Also attached is the PDF of the drawing that I made of the way the system is currently, yes I am an engineer ;)
Anyway, thanks again in advance.
You have mentioned all but the one thing that is all important......what volume is the fan moving at what rated static pressure in inches of H2O?
That will determine both supply and return air duct sizing.
The calculated volume, and the fans ability to deliver that volume are two very different things.
The size of ducting is based on velocity, velocity determines resistance, summary of resistance is system total pressure.
So that being said, the size of the ducting is determined by the capacity of the fan, not the calculated needs.
Got ya sorry.
Maximum rated CFM per the manufacturer for the size unit that I have is 1760 CFM @ .1 - .5 ESP
I believe the target velocity for return air ducting is 200 FPM.
Thanks but isn't 200 FPM rather low. I thought that 700 FPM is optimum.
The rough calculations that I can come up with is this.
Relative CFM that I have calculated for the house is about 1150 CFM,
Duct sizing for this I would think or at least the way the calculations come out to be the supply needs to be 8X22, which I kindof don't have room for, where the furnace is located. and the return would need to be 10X22
So if the main portion or section rather that is at the furnace is 8X24, I would think that I could change out the drop down to the furnace to 10X25 and branch this to the 16X25 filter opening. Also I guess working on some more of the calculations I think that the 8X12 after the 8X24 duct should be fine as it is only going to be servicing two rooms. and they are small.
That being said another question came up in my head, would it be better to have the returns closer to the ceiling, I rear somewhere that this is the preferred method? Any ideas on that one? Thanks again for the insight.
The best return air considerations are for both high and low wall return air openning, High in the summer and low in the winter, makes for the best heat and AC distribution.
You can run the RA that high, but you may want to think of turning vanes in the duct if your filter is perpendicular to air flow at the base of the furnace.
Ah good call thanks for that, I planned on running a radiused transition into the furnace return air as well as supply would this be enough of would I still need the turning vanes?
I personally would use and have used turning vanes, just helps better load the filter.
Ok thanks I will look into that.
The current return in the kitchen spanning 2 joist bays is more then the 8X12 can carry.
The size return duct you'll need after you add your return to the second floor. Depends on how much return your getting from the one near the front door, and how much you need from the one your adding to the second floor.
700 to 800 FPM minute is fine in a return duct. Its your register grilles that should have a face velocity of 300 FPM. But often 500 FPM is ok, and not to noticeable, as far as noise.
That is what I had thought, thanks for the clarification, what is weird about the two joist span is that one end is open to the basement and the grill in the Kitchen is kind of a loop through. Just weird and I am not sure why that was done, oh well getting that fixed now.
For the return upstairs, now if you think about my house where it is pretty much open in the upstairs portion and just split into two rooms down the middle. The supporting wall that runs through the center of the house from th front door to the back door, is where the return is currently, which is right above the furnace, by the front door. I used this wall space to carry the return upstairs, I pulled some of the floor boards up, and opened up the wall space and used the joist space for the floor upstairs to a 6X30 grill for the return. I made sure the the studs for the wall are directly above the floor joists for support before I cut :) I think that it is coming out ok, just trying to find the time to accomplish this task, but I am revising all the ducting first then I am going to set the furnace and get it all going. Figured I better have everything on point before I set the furnace and run it so that I can limit any issues.
Thanks for the insight on the ducting and the grilles. From what I have seen they don't list the face velocity of the grilles from grille manufacturer, sure it is pretty easy to figure out.
Most register/grille manufacturers list the face velocity at different CFMs. Haryt&Cooley does along with Lima and Titus.
Cool thanks been, I will check them out.

New Year's Day to come early as Samoa leaps ahead
CANBERRA (Reuters) - If you are reading this on Friday you cannot be in Samoa.
Friday, December 30, has been cut this year for the tiny South Pacific island nation as it ditched a time-zone alliance with the United States and moved its time zone 24 hours ahead to catch up with Asia, New Zealand and Australia.
On New Year's Eve, Samoa will have jumped to the west of the international dateline, which runs zig-zags through the Pacific Ocean and broadly follows the 180 degree line of longitude, in a move Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi said would make it easier for Samoa to trade with key partners.
"No longer shall we have people ringing us up on Monday from New Zealand and Australia thinking it is Monday when we are closing our eyes and praying at churches. And vice versa on our Fridays when we ring up and already our contacts are holidaying on their Saturdays," he told Radio New Zealand on Friday.
"It will remove the enormous amount of confusion in our travel times for the Samoans and especially for the tourists who come to Samoa, who keep thinking of the New Zealand and Australian time zones."
Church bells will ring and carol services will herald the changeover time.
"I think the people are pretty calm about it, they are not expecting to have any major changes," said Samoa Observer newspaper editor Savea Sano Malifa.
To help win public support, the government declared employers must still pay workers for the missing Friday, although banks will not be allowed to charge interest for the lost day.
Countries are free to choose whether the dateline passes to the east or west, and Samoa's decision will mean all new maps will need to change. Continued...

Man, I remember seeing this when I was like 8 or something, and I had no idea what it was about. Looking back on it now this is pretty depressing. I'm not exactly sure how this got into flash portal history, but I guess its okay.

I love this video, I have since I first saw it way back when. That being said, there's one issue I have with your subtitles. They cover up the bit that says "You're going to Hell" when I hover my mouse of the "RED" replay button. This is the saddest thing of my life. Other than that, very funny video. I still enjoy it all this time later, so it must be doing something right, friends that I show it to, who have never seen it also find it funny as hell.

Oh... my... GOD! What a horrible horrible story! No really though, it's pretty neat. It's both apathetic and surreal, and as the time goes it gets more and more extreme. The childish voice acting combined with the childish graphics gives it a feeling of naivety and realism, and then the end... that's just awesome. :) Great work!
