I was in the same situation you're in, until the modules started to reload from the beginning, taking a long time and finally succeded.
I thought my device was bricked because of the strange blinking.

so you just kept doing the wipeload.bat over and over? even tho your pin wasnt recognised? and it just randomly worked? Did your device turn on ever? thanks
what do you mean 'the modules started to reload from the beginning'? i get the error message almost instantly.
Hold on brother's, the update rock on, don't worry ,take some time but worth the effort.
Here in this post is the solution to the problem. Read carefully and be bold, be patient, be blackberry.
Exactly. Sounds stupid, but that's what I did.
I used to get the error message instantaneously, but one time, it started again from the beginning, taking forever.
It took me less than that, but there may be more users updating today than yesterday.
It's a bit like calling a radio station to get free tickets to a concert, you have to have a bit of luck

Here are the instructions from the on line web site five lines down where you can get the zipped files Apploader and Wipereload:
The problem is that when one attaches the dev alpha DTM will automatically detect it and run even after you down load the updater --YOU should NOT run DTM :
Then follow
1Download and extract App Loader 220.127.116.11 (Windows).
2Ensure your Desktop Software is up to date (because need the latest drivers for WipeReload)
3Ensure your Desktop Software is not running (terminate it form system tray and X it at any launch).
4In the location where you extracted the application loader, run the file AppLoaderWebSL_126.96.36.199.
5In the location where you extracted the application loader, run the file AppLoaderWebSL_18.104.22.168.
6Connect your BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device to your computer.
7In the location where you extracted the application loader, run the batch file WipeReload.bat.
8If you have a password set on your device, type your password when prompted
9After your device restarts, complete the set up wizard.
(instructions are from the above link) yes 4 and 5 are the same because the people at RIM are busy writing cool new code-- I added to 3: "(because need the latest drivers for WipeReload)" and to 4)"(terminate it form system tray and X it at any launch)"
and yes we are told to ensure DTM is up to date (no version given, but click on link above) and then that it is not running, well it runs automatically when the device is connected! You do NOT run DTM! Here is the solution:
follow the above steps, but do not launch DTM
impede launch of Desk Top Manager (DTM) by terminating /closing/"X" ing it's launch ("X" out!!) asap whenever DTM appears to launch and IGNORE Blackberry Device Manager (DVM) disconnect messages: 1) leave DEV alpha powered on; 2) do not connect yet---run AppLoaderWebSL_184.108.40.206 first ---3)run WipeReload 4)connect the Dev alpha via USB—start x ing out stopping all launches of des top manager (DTM), DVM is required, but ignore disconnect/connect messages. As long as the green horizontal status bar increases you are ok. At the end when /if you get the message that the loader cannot connect to the device, because of a passwd, disconnect and try to boot (turn on/off). I got the setup process when it appeared to hang after entering the SSID. I made sure it was charged (overnight) and then reconnected to the PC again terminating DTM and re-ran the wipereload program and it went through the "Connecting to boot ROM" part and now I have OS 10.0.9.388--not sure why it is not 10.0.9.44. Any ideas on why I have 10.0.9.388?
The wipe program runs the following steps (note that when you run the wiper it takes time (2-3min?)for the BB PIN ID and for the devalpha pin to show, be patient!) :
1)Prep--connects to boot ROM (this may have been in error when DTM ran) , dwnloads modules 1 to 56/57 (seemed to change the second time it ran),uploads Ram image, then down loads 2 more modules (the second time I ran the wipe program)
2)Install--extracts device software and you see the green horizontal progress bar--took about 15 minutes, loads system software (about 10-15 minutes w FIOS)
3)REBOOT, connects to device and reboots this takes another 10-15 minutes
At the end of the reboot I got a cannot conenct to device error since passwd protected. I disconnected the device and turned it on and off and then the set-up process began. It got hung up at the wifi step. I reconnected it and ran the wipe program again (You only need install the apploader applicaiton once, and can run the wipe program many times, as needed). It did a reboot of the device and I was good to go. Always terminate DTM when running hte wipe program not DVM.
BTW--I was not able to download the Apploader app with Google Chrome, had to use IE; make sure that the batterey is fully charged before starting the update of the OS.
This reminds me that it seems quite important to have enough battery life left. The indicator on the phone is either wrong or you have a black screen (brick). best to let it charge for 30 minutes and try again after that.
The_Anomaly post works for me, Thanks.

hi maxers,
does anyone ever had this error when starting max ?
something like "error #43 : can't find authorization file".
max did that three or four times, and then, started normally.
now it seems ok…
should i be worried about my hard drive ?
After installing 5.1.3, I had this problem too, and then it worked normally.
I don't think we have to worry about that…
+ 1
only happened once, i woke computer from sleep and got that error msg. it went away on relaunch of max app… i'm not quite as relaxed about this as fakegolfer, and i REALLY dont want this happening before a show!
i'm wondering if there are any iLok / PACE issues?
perhaps, it might be an idea to post authorisation methods / system specs:
key: challenge and authorization
OS: osx 10.6.3
maxmspjitter 513
just had it again… max starts up ok at second attempt.

What Is Photoshop Shape?
It is just a simple note about the nature of Photoshop shape, and few advice about its installing.
The shape tools in Photoshop allow you to create vector-based elements. Vector describe a shape mathematically; pixel images, on the other hand, describe the same shape in terms of a map of pixels. The key difference is that, as you increase the size of a pixel-based image, it begins to look blocky. Because vector images are based on mathematical formulas, they look good at any size and can be manipulated without losing resolution.
When you create vector objects in a program like Photoshop, they are comprised of paths, which are in turn made up of anchor points and straight and curved segments, or lines. You can create these points and lines by working with the preset shapes or by creating your own shape.
To install shapes (by Darren Cornwell):
Open photoshop, select the custom shape tool and click the little drop down arrow next to the shape to bring up the shape selection window. Grab the bottom right hand corner to resize the window then take your screenshot: On an Apple Mac it's Apple | Shift | 3 to take a complete screenshot. On a PC just hit the 'Print Screen' button to copy the screen contents to the clipboard, open photoshop and paste into a new document.
Now you can easily install all shape sets I kindly shared with yo.
ps. As for me I prefer drag-and-drop way of shape sets installing. I just picking up shapes set, and throw it to Photoshop window =). Have fun!
To convert Photoshop Custom shape into Illustrator:
1) Open both Photoshop and Illustrator
2) Draw a shape in photoshop
3) Select Pen Tool (P)
4) Click and hold ctrl near your shape
5) Cover your shape by selection rectangle
6) Copy it
7) Paste in Illustrator.

what version of adobe photoshop do i need to have to download this?
anais 7.09.2009
Hi anj, I think that you can use an old version of photoshop beacause the first post is from december 2007. You can know which version of the software was sold in 2007 in adobe website or you can use google to find it – to find it you can enter "photoshop press release 2007″ on google search engine
But I think that you can use an older version of photoshop than the 2007 version
Best regards

Migration and Unemployment in South Africa: When Motivation Surpasses the Theory
This paper looks at the connection between internal migration and unemployment in South Africa. We examine whether rural-urban migrants are more likely to be unemployed, in informal sector employment or underemployed than non-migrants. We build on standard economic theory to predict that rates of unemployment and of participation in the informal sector ought to be much higher for migrants than for non-migrants. The empirical evidence we present, based on the 1993 and 1994 October Household Surveys, provides only some support for this theory. Results suggest that compared to job seeking non-migrants, recent migrants do well at finding formal employment, and are much less likely to be unemployed.

Additive Interactive Regression Models: Circumvention of the Curse of Dimensionality
This paper considers series estimators of additive interactive regression (AIR) models. AIR models are nonparametric regression models that generalize additive regression models by allowing interactions between different regressor variables. They place more restrictions on the regression function, however, than do fully nonparametric regression models. By doing so, they attempt to circumvent the curse of dimensionality that afflicts the estimation of fully non-parametric regression models.

Canon Powershot S5is Review

Compared to... Canon PowerShot S3 IS
Let's look first at how the PowerShot S5 IS compares to its immediate predecessor, the PowerShot S3 IS, in the studio. In this section we have included comparisons at ISO 80 and ISO 800 (the highest available setting on the S3 IS). The new model's higher ISO 1600 setting can be found in a later comparison.
Studio scene comparison (@ ISO 80)
- Canon PowerShot S5 IS: Aperture Priority mode, ISO 80, Default Image Parameters,
Manual white balance, +0.67 EV compensation
- Canon PowerShot S3 IS: Aperture Priority mode, ISO 80, Default Image Parameters,
Manual white balance, +0.67 EV compensation
- Lighting: Daylight simulation, >98% CRI
Canon PowerShot S5 IS
Canon PowerShot S3 IS
ISO 80, 1/40 sec, F5.0
ISO 80, 1/50 sec, F5.0
There are differences between the output produced by the S5 IS and its predecessor, but they are very, very small, and are unlikely to have a visible impact on anything but the largest print. Having spent a lot of time comparing the cameras (including upsizing and downsizing each to match the other's pixel dimensions) we came to the conclusion that the extra two million pixels are giving you a slight 'real world' resolution increase, but nowhere near as much as you might expect when jumping from six to eight. We suspect this is down to a combination of different factors, including the need for a little more NR and a slightly more conservative approach to in-camera sharpening. The main one issue is probably the lens - it would appear that Canon is getting close to the limits of what it can squeeze out of this compact 12x optic. The fact that these 'super zooms' can focus this much detail sharply onto an area smaller than my one year old's fingernail still impresses me, but there has to come a point where the pixel pitch gets too small.
That said, the S5 IS does manage to get a little more detail out of the scene, though the default sharpening on the S3 IS is higher, so the advantage isn't immediately obvious. If you increase the sharpening on the S5 IS you will see the difference, but you'll also start to see noise (and some NR artefacts) - an inevitable consequence of stuffing 8 million pixels onto a 1/2.5" sensor. Viewed critically at 100% (as here) you can also see some evidence of noise even at ISO 80.
Pixel-level detail aside the output is exactly what we'd expect to see from a Canon PowerShot - fairly clean, colorful and fairly punchy - albeit not as immediate as the S3 IS. There is a slight fall in sharpness at the edges (and particularly the corners) of the frame and a noticeable overall softness, but unless you're looking to produce huge enlargements it's not an issue.

Great Job
I have operated an S5IS now for about 5 years+ and it's taken thousands of shots, including many movies under my name on YouTube.
While I now operate Nikon cameras D90, D700), I rate the S5IS a very solid 9.
The one drawback so far is that I lost the ring which must be removed when installing a lens hood (LA-DC58E) . But camera looks really professional when the hood installed.
The camera solidly build and will taka a fair punishment. I have shot with the camera under all kinds of conditions, even at night. Unfortunately, the sensor doesn't like to shoot in the semi-dark.
As photo background, I bring 40 years of military (professional) photography as a trade and have used everything from a box camera to a 5x7 monorail studio camera, including many years of 4x5 Graphic and Hasselblad at work .
So, you can believe me when I write that it's a super-duper little gem.
I would buy another one tomorrow.

This review is from: IVIEW HFR2-SU3 RAID 0/1/3/5/10, JBOD, CLONE, Normal 4 3.5" Drive Bays USB 3.0 / eSATA 4-Bay HDD RAID Enclosure
Pros: Looks great, has USB 3.
Cons: Fan is way louder than my SansDigital TR4M-BP. But that wouldn't have bothered me if either Normal or JBOD mode had worked on eSATA. Additionally, only one drive (out of 4) was recognized using USB 3.0. Don't waste your time with this one, buy something with better reviews.
Other Thoughts: I'm very upset that I've lost $10 on return shipping.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SANS DIGITAL TowerRAID TR4M-BP RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 5+spare, Spanning and JBOD (via Bundled RR622 RAID Controller Card) 4 3.5" Drive Bays eSATA (via Port Multiplier) PCIe 2.0 x1 for RR622 RAID Controller 4 Bay eSATA Port Multiplier JBOD Tower
Pros: Easy setup. Relatively quiet.
Cons: Poor documentation.
I'm running JBOD for an HTPC setup.
The company really needs to triage what works and what doesnt with this unit. I had several SATA drives which were not recognized by the enclosure. Turns out that they were simply 'too old', as my newer SATA drives worked fine. That's an annoyance, but I'm fine with it. Still, I had to figure this out for myself.
If I attempt to transfer more than 500mb at a time, the enclosure 'resets itself' and enters what looks like an initialization loop. Shutting down the unit is the only remedy at that point.
I've tried contacting tech support three times now and each time I have to leave a message. Poor customer service.
Other Thoughts: Overall pretty disappointed with this unit, given all of the positive responses. Planning a desperate RMA attempt with newegg if I cant get some help from Sans by the end of the week.READ FULL REVIEW

That is a creepy tale but so engrossing with your verses. Is this fiction? When I read your work, I feel like I read passages of the literary greats. You have that same "I don't know what to call it though" presence - it's in the imagery I think. I don't know. But I know I love reading it. Donna:)
An amazing piece of writing by a gentleman and a scholar who knows his history inside out.
Those hard cruel days gone of old where man befell his brother with a sword.If orders were to be declared then the others would be a victim to that of such a treachery and evil deed.My!!! how i hate the name CAMPBELL and will always til the last breath i do take,my clan the McBRIARS on my wee ma's side would have hunted these evil fiends down and swooped for revenge but now the darkness remains always with those villainous foes of bonnie wee scotland.
As you said 'ma bonny wee lass', these days are now gone. The evils and deceits of these past days have now made way of the new age of deceits via the politicians and media who in many ways are guilty of far graver cases of deceit and death and dishonour than these of the past!
Awesome piece.
A poem based on a historical event is a very hard thing to write, congratulations on your writing.

Life on the Refrigerator Door is told exclusively through notes exchanged by Claire and her mother, Elizabeth, during the course of a life-altering year. Their story builds to an emotional crescendo when Elizabeth is diagnosed with breast cancer. Stunningly sad but ultimately uplifting, this is a clever, moving, and original portrait of the relationship between a daughter and mother. It is about how we live our lives constantly rushing, seldom making time for those we love. It is also an elegy to how much can be said in so few words, if only we made the time to say them. A new edition of this simultaneously heartbreaking and heart-warming novel by Alice Kuipers.

For an obscure instrument, the marimba sure is popular among the Miss America contestants. In case you're unclear on the specifics of marimba, it's essentially like a xylophone except with a broader and lower tonal range. Whatever that means. McCarthy managed to break through to the judges a little with her choice, picking up the Non-finalist Talent award.

Your dissertation is really a main responsibility and will be to selecting your final honor, a considerable ways. It's certainly extremely important, thus, to program carefully.Workout a plan . You truly haven't any defense to leave the final second with things. There'll continually be difficulties: difficulties in getting resources or books; in getting comments to forms or letters, delays; floppy drives and temperamental printers; strange dissertation- pets that are eating. You need to enable these , however: none can be an explanation for not handing within your focus on occasion.In consultation with your director, draw an initial reading list up, ensuring this can be wide ranging, pertinent so when up-to-date as you can. Tactic this reading with concerns that are specific at heart; or even, you will waste a great deal of precious time examining info that is irrelevant.If you're going to include some kind of survey or questionnaire, get this as extensive as possible, but keep in mind that companies and enterprises are swamped with this type of the result rate and thing will likely be extremely discouraging.Nearly all of your publishing will most likely need redrafting times that are several, and you must carefully check anything you compose, or perhaps get another person to get this done for you personally.

Serves four
In Culinary Basics, each aspect of a meal is covered in class from start to finish. For example, with the Jasmine Pear Pilaf, we discussed types of rice, the choices of pear, the importance of using unsalted butter, the basics of a good chicken stock, the advantages of kosher salt, and the meaning of the "pilaf" method of cooking rice.
Chef's Note
The "pilaf" method of cooking rice involves briefly sautéeing the rice in hot fat before cooking it in hot water or stock.
1 Bosc or Comice Pear
2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
1/4 cup Shallots, chopped
2 cups Jasmine Rice
4 cups Chicken Stock or Broth, heated
Kosher Salt and Pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Peel and dice the pear into 1/4" x 1/4" cubes. Set them aside in a cool-water bath.
2. Heat an ovenproof pan on top of the stove over low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Add the shallots. Cover, and allow them to sweat for approximately 1 minute. Do not allow the shallots to brown.
3. Add the rice and stir to coat the kernels with fat.
4. Add the hot stock, cover the pan again tightly, and place it in the oven for 10 minutes.
5. Drailn the cubed pear. Remove the pilaf from the oven, add the drained pear, cover, and place back in the oven for 10 more minutes.
6. Remove the pilaf from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes. Uncover the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste.

I love baseball and the Minnesota Twins. I have a partial season ticket package at Target Field. Baseball gives me warm fuzzies and makes me feel like a kid again. Also, it's pretty much the best sport ever for a stats geek.
I am definitely a geek. I like sci-fi/fantasy, video games, anime... stuff like that. I love to geek out with like-minded individuals. Want to talk about fun Game of Thrones theories? I'm up for it.
My biggest hobby is being a roller derby coach. Roller derby is awesome! It acts like a magnet that pulls in all sorts of amazing people. I'm very happy to be able to contribute to a growing sport I love.
I'm also kind of an introvert, ISFP. I can be social, but I generally need time to prepare/recharge. I'm a fan of the occasional Netflix/video games day.
For employment I sit in a cube farm doing insurancey busywork all day. I like my job, but it doesn't really define me. I work to live, not live to work.
2. Getting distracted by something fun when I should be sleeping
There are way too many TV shows I like as well. A lot of my entertainment favorites have geek cred. I'm a fan of Star Trek and Doctor Who and Firefly and Game of Thrones and Fullmetal Alchemist and Death Note and Sherlock. I also play video games occasionally. Mostly Nintendo games. I'm currently playing Hearthstone on PC/mobile.
For music, I have some pretty specific tastes — I don't listen to a ton of music. A few bands/artists I like: Cake, They Might Be Giants, Weird Al, The Cars, Stone Temple Pilots, Weezer, and The Foo Fighters. I also listen to video game music when I'm working because my brain is conditioned to focus and have fun when I hear it.
As far as getting out of the house is concerned, I like going to Twins games and any roller derby event. Otherwise mostly just hanging with cool people I know. I have a great circle of friends, so there's usually something going on each weekend. I'm not into the bar scene, though, as I'm not a big drinker/partier.
• Friendship
• Love
• Adventure/Inspiration
• Optimism
• An extra life
Also, baseball and roller derby.
—If you have a good sense of humor and can bring the sass. I'm a sucker for playful banter.
—If you enjoy random adventures like driving to Darwin to see the Twine Ball for no good reason (I have actually not yet done this).
—If you like baseball games on gorgeous sunny days or cool summer evenings.
—If you are OK with the fact that I'm not religious and do not ever plan to be (You can be, but I won't be.).
—If you're open-minded and accepting of different people and different lifestyles.
I mostly just want to live life and be happy. To that end, I'm looking for someone awesome to share in that happiness.

4-1 vote halts development of Spencer's religious liberty policy
The Spencer school district's proposed religious liberty policy is no longer a priority. In a 4-to-1 vote this week, school board members approved not pursuing its development.
Superintendent Greg Ebeling began Tuesday night's discussion by stating, "My bottom line is I don't want to spend a lot more time on this without direction from the board that this is what we need to do, because otherwise I'm wasting time."
Bill Zinn, who was elected to the board in September, initiated the ensuing board discussion by saying, "Most people have contacted me saying it shouldn't be in the schools."
"I'm quite the opposite. I've had many comments for it and a few against," Dean Mechler offered.
"From the feedback I've received, the majority of it has been against it. Not necessarily on a substantive view, but, basically, (from a) is this necessary kind of a viewpoint," Todd Korbitz, the board's president, added. "Although I have had some comments in favor of it, ... I, personally, sit with the is it necessary crowd."
A motion to continue pursuing the proposed policy's development died for lack of a second.
When the motion to discontinue the pursuit of a religious liberty policy received a second, Mechler asked his peers around the board table, "Why wouldn't we want to acknowledge the constitutional rights of students and staff members when we do it in so many other areas? That's really all the policy does. The policy, as it's written now, is largely pieced from current policies that affect other school districts."
"My more conservative nature, to be honest, doesn't like bureaucracy. And, I think the more layers of rulemaking you implement, the more mushy any kind of authority becomes. And, to me, it seems like this issue is dealt with in higher forms of law," Korbitz answered. " ... I just wonder if this is the correct tact to take as a district."
"When I have former students come to me and current teachers saying, 'I'm intimidated. I don't know what I can do and what I can't do,' let's acknowledge what they can and can't do," Mechler said. "I think that's all the policy does."
As newly-elected board member Bob Whittenburg suggested there are issues with the policy's second draft, he then said, "This is a discussion about whether we refine that draft again and what those issues are. I think that process could go on and on, and I fail to see yet what the need is."
Marti Bomgaars then proposed a statement saying the district supports what is protected under the U.S. Constitution be drafted instead of a religious liberty policy. "(In dealing) with people who feel their rights have been violated, then we can at least say, 'Look, we are operating in line with what we've been taught,'" she said.
Following the board's vote to discontinue the pursuit of a religious liberty policy, Ebeling forewarned, "At some point in time, the district will be dealing with this issue."
After Tuesday's meeting, he continued, "Right now, there's not support with the board to move forward with the policy. So, it will just remain on hold for the foreseeable future, or until we have something that we need to deal with. Obviously, it will still be a policy that will live on my computer -- because there's been a lot of time and effort put into it. But, it's a matter of the board right now not feeling like it's wanting to move forward any further with the policy. So, it's going to die for now.

Well..Ive owned and tried alot of Kydex stuff. My personal preference is leather for me for IWB carry...it just bends and molds to you more than Kydex. One thing most people really dont equate is a gun is like carrying a brick between you and your skin, leather helps to soften it a bit.
But on the other hand....many many people like it and there are some very talented plastic smiths out there.
Try it and see how it works for you......Id recommend Bladetech/Comptac etc.....
Shoot well and god bless

Combining the courses would make it harder for students to prepare for the Advanced Placement Human Geography exam and could deprive them of valuable skills that could lead to productive careers later in life, he writes in this letter. "Students with a solid background in geography are able to think spatially and apply geographic analytical skills and technologies for decision making and problem solving," Richardson writes.

UK's Cameron calls for inquiry into police smears
Credit: The Associated Press
LONDON — British Prime Minister David Cameron called Monday for an immediate investigation into allegations that an undercover police officer was ordered to smear the reputation of the family of a murdered black teenager.
The Guardian newspaper published claims Monday that the officer infiltrated anti-racism protest groups to gain information that could discredit the family of 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence.

Most of my pistols (whether range guns or cc guns) are the higher end brands/models. Without realizing it, I have slowly been getting in to the new taurus cc line. 2 years ago I wouldn't be saying this, but I now own a pt111, pt145 g3, 709 slim, 24/7 .45, and the new polymer 357. I have become a huge fan of the millennium & 24/7 series. Is it just me, or has taurus really stepped up their game?

No complaints from me. I had a PT99 for around 24 years and once I figured out it needed 124gr ammo to run correctly it was fine after that. I currently have a newish Taurus 1911 to replace that 9mm I regret selling and only have one issue with it and it's not mechanical. On the slide the 9 in 1911 has the bottom part of the tail missing. I guess it was a Monday morning stamp job or something and no one in QC caught it. Still trying to decide whether I should spend the money to send it back for fixing or just see if a local engraver can touch it up for few bucks.
You don't suppose it would be worth more later on if I left it alone do you?

Taurus guns aren't perfect, but what is? Colt and S&W have turned out their fair share of junk over the years, too.

I've really been thinking of getting a M85 UL lately. Over the years I've owned a few standard 85's (2" version), all stainless, and all were great guns. As a younger guy though I always had to have another auto, so the little Taurus revolvers never hung around. Now I'm thinking the UL version would be a great BUG or pocket carry gun.

Sorry but, I just cannot let the factually incorrect statement go that Taurus firearms rise in value.
Historically they absolutely never have nor do they now increase or rise in value on the used market.
If you go to Gunbroker.com and use the advanced search mode and search COMPLETED AUCTIONS "Taurus" you can always find at least 100 pages of hundreds of Taurus firearms that either get "0" bids or extremely low actual SOLD prices - or low bids and a "Reserve Not Met" when they are New In Box and the asking price is MSRP or even slightly below.
The Judge seems to be the only one that ever does OK these days USED but, still does not meet Taurus MSRP.
I am not being a gun snob when I say that if anybody ever buys a Taurus firearm and thinks that it is ever going to increase in value...well, I'll just say that "it never will" and a person will always be lucky to get anywhere close to half what they paid for it NEW.
That is just reality talking and not the gun snob in me.
I'm innocent. I didn't do anything to make the Taurus market (Used) suck big time that way. It is just the way it is in the real world.
I am not saying that Taurus does not sell a lot of firearms. They do.
There is a market for lower priced budget type firearms that can be manufactured at lower cost due to the lower manufacturing/production costs of using almost all Metal Injection Molded parts coupled with reduced labor assembly costs.
My personal opinion is that even factoring in that - they are still overpriced NEW IN BOX for the firearm that you are actually buying.
The fact that they are overpriced for the gun that you are getting is somewhat overcome by the fact that they DO have fantastic marketing strategy and folks do buy them worldwide.
I am saying that if somebody ever buys one as an investment firearm - that individual is delusional.
It is not me saying that. It is the market out there saying that and I am just the messenger relaying some truthful information regarding the Taurus used gun market.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
Glad your Tauruses are working for you. If they run like clockwork keep and enjoy them. Regardless of who says what. YOUR Taurus pistols are working and that's all that matters.
Has Taurus upped their game? Well I bought a Milpro .45 a few months back, had three range sessions with it and it was so problematic that I traded it in to get another gun lol. So no.
But again, if yours work that should be all you need to care about.
I am 3 for 3 on the Taurus firearms that I have purchased. Each one had never given me any problems. I have had a Taurus TCP PT738, PT709 which both have been sold. Currently I have a Taurus 24/7 G2 45 compact which in my opinion is a pretty sweet gun. God Bless
As for the question of "have they upped their game?", it was partly rhetorical. I owned quite a few taurus pistols that I immediately sent back, sold or traded. These guns are well built. I wanted to get feedback.
As for getting bad ones goes, I still don't put them on the same level as S&W, Colet, Kimber, etc... BUT when I'm shooting a pt145 as well as any of my other four .45's and no misfeeds, I am impressed. This all started because I had the chance to buy two for the price of one off a friend who was needing money at the time. I planned to sell them, but wanted to shoot them first. Loved the way they shot. Loved the way the kept shooting. This cycle just continues for over 800+ rounds per gun.
That being said, I do appreciate all the feedback and opinions I'm getting. I don't mean to sound defensive of Taurus. I'd still rather carry my shield or p938 any day. But I think for some people who can't afford to spend a lot of $ on a carry gun, I would feel perfectly find trusting a pt111 once it's been shot and confirmed that it's a working piece. Thanks to all.

When I observed a week ago that the sizes of the 2250 affordable apartments proposed for the Atlantic Yards project seemed small--400 square feet for a studio, 575 sf for a 1-bedroom, 775 sf for a 2-bedroom, and 950 sf for a 3-bedroom--I implied that the dimensions could be attributed to developer Forest City Ratner.
That was unfair. I should have explained, as I since have learned, that the sizes derive from the New Housing Opportunities Program (New HOP) of the New York City Housing Development Corporation, which would help fund the units.
It's curious, though, that Forest City Ratner and ACORN did not announce the apartment sizes at the 7/11/06 affordable housing information session. That might have caused the audience to express even more skepticism.
And a question remains. While the affordable housing would represent a little less than 33% of the units at the project, it would apparently represent only 22% of the square footage. (That's based on an even distribution of the four different sizes. Note that there would be 2250 market-rate rentals and 2360 market-rate condos.)
Is that correct? How much bigger would the market-rate apartments be, and what percentage of the total housing space allotment in the project would they occupy?
We know that the original pledge of 50/50 affordable housing has been put aside because of addition of the market-rate condos. Now project supporters emphasize that 50% of the rental units would be affordable. But would the affordable rentals occupy 50% of the space allotted for the rentals?

text: As quite a few expats just found out the hard way in Beijing and Shanghai, private internship companies don't really care if you have the right visa, so long as they get paid their fee that ranges from $999 o $3,799. But since September of 2013 when China's new visa laws kicked in, the Public Security Bureau has been very strict on the enforcement side. If you get caught (not hard to do) in a random subway visa check or a visit to your job site, you will be arrested and jailed about 30 days. You will be fined $2,000, forced to plead guilty to a felony crime (if you want to get out of jail) and then deported with a 3-5 reentry ban to China - even as a tourist. Worst of all you will go home with a felony conviction that will haunt you the rest of your life, and never get another travel visa again since you will be flagged as an "illegal migrant worker" in all the international immigration computers. Long story short as a foreigner it is ILLEGAL for you to work as an intern in China UNLESS you fall into one of these three categories and have the visas shown below: A) You are officially enrolled in a University exchange program with an accredited university. In this case you must have a Q1 visa. B) You are an official registered "delegate" of a licensed foundation, charity, museum, NGO, or NPO, or a performer in an dance, musical, or art exhibition. In this case you must have an M visa. C) You were directly selected by a large international company like an MNC or Fortune 500 company for a pre-hire internship in which case you must have an F or Z visa. Third party agents, recruiters, brokers, and private international companies are NOT authorized to sponsor interns with any visa. If you are told otherwise it is a scam to be avoided. As you will see at other forums, one company was just caught forging invitation letters of companies in order to get visas for their clients. DO NOT EXPECT ANY SYMPATHY OR UNDERSTANDING FROM CHINESE POLICE. At the current time there is ZERO TOLERANCE on visa laws enforcement due to some recent rapes by foreigners and two expat pedophiles recently apprehended in 2013 and 2014 - with the wrong visas. IMPORTANT: If any internship company tell you to lie to any visa or government official about why you are going to China, it a scam that you should avoid and report here at AntiFraudInt.org and China Scam Patrol. The below attachment is a real email sent to a recent fraud victim. Of course, if you want to avoid the scam internships altogether, the best way to do so is to avoid all the third party brokers, agent, etc. and DIY - for free. It is not difficult and will take between 3-5 hours of your time by the time you finish doing all your paperwork and get your Chinese visa. These two links below explain how to do it yourself for free: http://chinainternshipreviews.wordpress.com and http://freechinainternships.blogspot.co.uk . China is a great and fun place to explore, but keep their jails off of your site-seeing list.

Twin 74mm Turbo Notch Mustang vs T-Type (snaps anti-roll bar on launch)
Twin 74mm Mustang Notch lines up with an 8 second T-Type. Unfortunately they didn't get a clean run since you can see the t-type launches so hard it snaps the thick anti-roll bar on the car. You can see the body torque hard then come down. Track was hookin' that day!!
Turbo Foxbody Mustang battles TRC 2JZ Nissan S14
We got a chance to line it up with one of the baddest street Mustangs around. We had no idea at the time that one of the fuel pumps died in the 240sx which caused the air fuel ratio to spike up to 18 and come down to high 13's! you can actually see in the rear footage when it spikes 18AFR and it stops laying down rubber due to loss in power. Needless to say we got very lucky the 2JZ held together for both races!

Blessing discrimination
When I heard about the law proposed in Arizona that would have used "religious freedom" as an excuse to legalize discrimination against LGBT (and potentially others), I was stunned. I applaud Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona for vetoing the bill.
What appalled me most, however, was the fact that the Arizona Catholic Conference supported the bill! In fact, their website is crowded with legislative updates on the work they did to pass the legislation, and their lament that it was vetoed.
