If you haven't already, you can read part one here.
This is the first gun that I've ever kept a round count on. It's neat to have documentation that we have put exactly 725-rounds through this little pistol. I kind of wish I'd kept track of how much ammunition I've put through some of my other guns. Granted, judging by its condition alone, the M&P .38 special has been shot about a billion times. You'd swear that three quarters of the lead that exists on the planet has been down that bore twice. But, I'd love to be able to authoritatively say how many rounds I've put through my S&W 29, or my Winchester 1300, for that matter. It's been a fun journey regardless.
I wanted to post something on this last week, but I didn't really have anything to say. The initial range session for this test was just so routinely boring that it would have been the shortest blog post ever. As I wrote in my previous post, when we first shot the gun, I had not even cleaned it, and we put 125-rounds through it. It was still relatively clean after that, but I at least wanted to get the manufacturer's preservative out of it and give it a little lube, no deep scrubbing necessary. I field stripped the little gun and blasted it out with some Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber and hit the moving parts with some Otis Bio CLP. I racked the slide a few times and dry fired it a few times to get the CLP in the works. I also used the Gun Scrubber to rinse out my three magazines.
To prepare for the test, I numbered the magazines "1," "2," and "3" with a silver Sharpie and scotch taped over the numbers to keep them from rubbing off. I figured we would try to evenly rotate them, and if we started having consistent problems with one of the magazines, we would know to take it out of the rotation. I set up a detailed spread sheet where I could record data – round count, who was shooting, magazine number, ammunition box number, and potential failures.
On Sunday, November 15, we took the gun out to the family farm with some steel targets and clays. Over the course of an hour or so, we put 200-rounds of Magtech (95-gr, FMJ 951-fps) down range with no incidents to note. I shot the initial 150-rounds and Jennifer shot the 50 remaining. It shot flawlessly for both of us. I offered to let Isaac try it again, but he declined. It was nice to get out to the farm at least, and it was a fun range session. I then stripped it for inspection. There was slight wear in the finish on the rails, but nothing else noteworthy. So, I reloaded it with My Hornady Critical Defense and put it back in my holster. Really the most interesting thing that happened was that I got a bloody sore on my trigger finger from where the trigger guard had pounded on it during the range session. Pro tip – if you're going to pack a Kel Tec, it might not hurt to take some emory cloth to the inside of the trigger guard to smooth it out. Your mileage, of course, may vary.
On Saturday, November 21, we took it to one of the local indoor ranges. this time, we preemptively applied 3M Nexcare foam bandages to our fingers where they'd previously been chewed on by the trigger guard, for a little protection. In this session, the three of us managed to put 350-rounds of Magtech through the little gun. With the gun running like the Little Engine That Could, just imagine how excited I was when we had our first failure at the 421-round mark! I pulled the trigger and got an unexpected "click." Of course, I unloaded the gun and cleared the spent brass out of the chamber. It was evidently a failure to eject. The good news is that I had my GoPro taking close-up video at 240-frames per second in 720p. The bad news is that it was a lot darker in the range than I realized, so the video came out pretty grainy. Still, we'll take a look at that later for analysis.
Of course, a failure to eject could be the fault of the gun, the shooter, or the ammunition. By that point in the range session, I was starting to fatigue, although my grip looks pretty steady in the slow-motion video. Jennifer and I are wondering if there's a perceivable difference in the muzzle flash on the offending round in our high-speed video, which could but would not necessarily indicate an undercharged cartridge. As I wrote above, we'll take a closer look at that later. Regardless, other than the one failure to eject, this little pistol has run 550-rounds of ammunition flawlessly since I cleaned and lubed it. Subsequent inspection was yawn-inducing, as the gun seems to be in perfect condition outside of carbon build up.
When I first put out the feelers to find a company to sponsor this test, I actually reached out to Kel Tec directly, who didn't respond to my messages. I found that to be rather damning. It's one thing that they put a lifetime warranty on their products, but if they won't even answer a proposal on this kind of test, it does beg the question as to how confident they are in product durability. That being said, I could not be any happier with this gun thus far. It has rewarded me with reliability, durability, and shootability beyond my most optimistic imagination. If by the end of this test, I break it beyond repair, I would gladly pay the ~$250 these guns command for a replacement.
As a side note, This Magtech ammunition has been as clean shooting and as consistent as I hoped it would be. If you haven't tried it before, and if you need some good plinking ammo, you should check it out! Again, I'd like to give a shout out to Ammunition to Go, who made all this possible with the ammunition donation. When you're shopping ammo, please do keep them in mind for your needs. They didn't pay me for a good review, but donating the ammo isn't the first pleasant experience I've had dealing with them.
So, we're a little over a quarter of the way through the test, and all is well. 550-rounds down and 1,450 to go! If we make it to the 2,000-round mark and the gun is still running strong, I'm thinking of continuing with some different ammo. I have more of the Hornady Critical Defense that I'd like to shoot into water jugs as well as some frangible ball ammo, and another 100-rounds from Richardson Reloading. Although his loads seemed to be a little light for this gun initially, it will be interesting to see if they play nicer together after this much of a break-in.

Water You Up To, Obama?

President Obama is set to release new clean water rules today, in a move that will drive Republicans crazy, because the concept of clean drinking water is clearly Marxist dogma.
The Obama administration is expected in the coming days to announce a major clean water regulation that would restore the federal government's authority to limit pollution in the nation's rivers, lakes, streams and wetlands.
Environmentalists have praised the new rule, calling it an important step that would lead to significantly cleaner natural bodies of water and healthier drinking water.
But it has attracted fierce opposition from several business interests, including farmers, property developers, fertilizer and pesticide makers, oil and gas producers and a national association of golf course owners. Opponents contend that the rule would stifle economic growth and intrude on property owners' rights.
Republicans in Congress point to the rule as another example of what they call executive overreach by the Obama administration. Already, they are advancing legislation on Capitol Hill meant to block or delay the rule.
Republicans are at this point so utterly ridiculous that they are relegated to screaming about how the federal government supplying safe drinking water (when multiple states are suffering from the worst drought in centuries, mind you) is worthy of a Second American Revolution.
"Under this outrageously broad new rule, Washington bureaucrats would now have a say in how farmers, and ranchers, and families use their own property," said Senator John Barrasso, Republican of Wyoming and the chief author of the Senate bill.
"It would allow the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate private property just based on things like whether it's used by animals or birds, or even insects," he said.
"This rule," he added, "is not designed to protect the traditional waters of the United States. It is designed to expand the power of Washington bureaucrats."
Barrasso is full of nonsense, like every other Republican opposed to this. When American corporations are polluting our streams, lakes and rivers and leaving hundreds of thousands without potable water for weeks at a time, maybe the concept of tougher regulations is an idea well overdue.
Meanwhile, Republicans are screaming about how anyone who owns land is going to have to have EPA permits for puddles on their properties. The idiocy is insulting.
Makes a guy want to go have a drink or two. Of course, you need clean water for that, too.
Previous Post: « Good things cost money
Next Post: Open Thread: The Central Myth Of America »
Glad to see Obama out front on this.
Clean and adequate water supply is def on the public radar screen.
Let the GOP and special interests look like the troglodytes they are.
The idiocy is insulting.
So you're saying the rule will be thrown out by the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision?
The traditional waters, wtf, does that even mean?
@JPL: Precious Bodily Fluids? I think that traditional waters is what it means.
I hope he'll say that his next task will be to clean up regulation of pipelines. The spokesperson for the company dealing with the current spill stated that the number of citations received (175) is "the norm" for the industry. That needs to change.
@Ryan: Traditional seems to be the new code word.
I assumed that he meant that a union between rivers and streams or something.
Patricia Kayden
@Elizabelle: Unfortunately, Republicans can block anything President Obama proposes. That's why we can't have good things.
The Vox article about nonpotable water was troubling. Water that you cannot even boil to make safe. That can cause liver damage and other toxicity, and toxins slipping past modern water systems.
Fixing the (recurring) problem will take money, infrastructure spending, and getting farmers to reduce phosphorus runoff through better practices. All methods beloved of conservative politicians.
including farmers, property developers
Driving small farmers and developers who can't afford the price of regulatory capture out of business. Great job, liberals.
@debbie: Expanding the federale quota system will no doubt create more jobs.
@Patricia Kayden: Yup. But make them pay a price. The oldsters parked in front of Fox News might not notice, but I think younger voters will. Which group does climate change and sustainable environmental practices register with?

But it has attracted fierce opposition from several business interests, including farmers, property developers, fertilizer and pesticide makers, oil and gas producers and a national association of golf course owners.
So real salt of the earth types, then.
Last paragraph of the NY Times story:
In its protest of the rule, the American Farm Bureau Federation started a social media campaign, using the Twitter hashtag #DitchTheRule, to urge farmers and others to push the E.P.A. to abandon or revamp the rule. The E.P.A., in response, created a campaign with the hashtag #DitchTheMyth, urging people to speak out in favor of the rule. But some legal experts contend that campaign might have tested the limits of federal lobbying laws, which prohibit a government agency from engaging in grass-roots lobbying for proposed policies or legislation.
I like the #Ditch the Myth idea. Could apply that to a LOT of issues.

I've inadvertently watched an episode or two of Boomtowners (on the Smithsonian Channel). It's about the boomtowns of Wyoming because of oil production from fracking. They are using up a huge amount of water. I wonder how the good congresscritter will feel, if one day he and everyone else in Wyoming can't drink or use water due to contamination.
@Ryan Yes, whatever happened to conservatives who wanted to protect our precious fluids?
Comrade Dread
You take the King's money to subsidize your crops and provide farm insurance, you use the King's land at low subsidized cost to graze your cattle, you have a costly hand out bill renewed by the government every fucking year giving you more money, you can kindly shut the fuck up when you start complaining about how the King's new rules are an infringement on your freedum.

anyone who owns land is going to have to have EPA permits for puddles on their properties.
Welp, there goes the water garden I've been planning. Thanx, Obama.
"It's going to cause a nightmare for farmers," said Don Parrish, the senior director of congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau Federation.
"Our members own the majority of the landscape that's going to be impacted by this," he said. "It's going to make their land, the most valuable thing they possess, less valuable. It could reduce the value of some farmland by as much as 40 percent. If you want to build a home, if you want to grow food, if you want a job to go with that clean water, you have to ask E.P.A. for it."
I have little sympathy for Parrish or his members. Look what a nightmare farmers in California's central valley are facing.
Short-term profit (or cost avoidance) making longterm problems more extreme.
Senator/Physician/Blowhard John Barasso of Wyoming:
"Under this outrageously broad new rule, Washington bureaucrats would now have a say in how farmers, and ranchers, and families [not stated: "and corporations"] use their own property," said Senator John Barrasso, Republican of Wyoming and the chief author of the Senate bill.
The EPA is being sensible, actually. Protect the water quality before it flows into the larger bodies of water, making them tougher and more expensive to clean up.
And aren't we talking major agribusiness here?
Animals, birds and insects are very good environmental indicators, too.
Barasso's whingeing:
"Washington bureaucrats would now have a say in how farmers, and ranchers, and families use their own property…"
Notice he did not say "corporations." Not in there, at all. It's the little guys, and families.

@JPL: That, obviously, refers to such critical bodies as the Gulf of Mexico and Ohio River. The GOTea must think that all water for human consumption has to be purchased from Nestle.
@Comrade Dread:
Could someone unmoderate me (comment #19)? Three links. FYWP.
Here's a key quote from the NYT report:
"We could spend a lot of money to massively treat the water that we drink, but it makes a lot more sense to protect the source," Ms. Ouzts said.
In issue after issue, Republicans have demonstrated that their "party of fiscal responsibility" branding is a steaming crock of shit. They don't give a shit how much we have to spend downstream to clean up the mess as long as they can deliver the goodies to wealthy individuals and corporate interests upstream.
Same thing with healthcare. In Florida, the Republicans want the feds to continue funding indigent care in the ER to the tune of billions each year instead of enrolling the working poor in health plans via Medicaid expansion and saving money over the long haul by bending the cost curve. It doesn't make sense from a cost perspective — let alone the reduction in human suffering — but they don't give a shit.

When will the media ask Cliven Bundy what he thinks?
At this point, the typical GOP response to anything Obama does is so full of bullshit and hyperbole, I'm just impressed that Barr-asshole's response did not have Hitler, Nazi, or "worse than slavery" mentions. That qualifies as an improvement.
@Ryan:
you got there before I did. Exactly my thought when I read that.
Big ole hound
Any farmer or business who takes any money whatsoever from any government branch must live by these new rules. Money talks and bullshit walks. Just make em all drink the water from their streams or maybe eat the fish if there are any.

Never forget that the number of people who voted for John Barasso to be in the U.S. Senate would have placed him a distant third in a race for mayor of New York.
Yet somehow Barasso is a very important voice that deserves to be listened to on this issue. I wonder why that is. (Just kidding; I know why that is.)
"party of fiscal responsibility"
I give you the Governors of Fiscal Responsibility ™ running for President. Of course, a complete list would have to include Rick Snyder and Brownback and more.
the concept of clean drinking water is clearly Marxist dogma.
And yet there's truth in the joke!
When Friedrich Engels was in London and Manchester in 1844, writing (about) The Condition of the Working Class in England, among the many things he deplored was the disgusting state of the slums. Not only was there no clean drinking water, there was hardly any water available for any human purpose. So obvious was the neglect and cruelty that Engels was even able to quote an 1843 editorial from the (London) Times — the Times, I say! — to the effect that people in "the most courtly precincts of the richest city on GOD'S earth" were left "ROTTING FROM FAMINE, FILTH, AND DISEASE." (Capitals appear as they did in the Times editorial.)
Now Engels was no historian — more of an angry young man, and some of his methods and conclusions are questionable — but there's no doubt his book influenced Marx a great deal, and by the time The Communist Manifesto was published a few years later, the two had even become co-authors.
Communism — the idea — did not come from nowhere on a caprice. It arose because Greed (or historical capitalism, if you prefer) was a merciless tyrant, and real people actually had to stand up, and fight, and die, even for such basic things as "the concept of clean drinking water."
I truly cannot stand today's Republican Party.

In issue after issue, Republicans have demonstrated that their "party of fiscal responsibility" branding is a steaming crock of shit.
You mean … they're not really conservative? And branding is important? False advertising matters? Who knew?!
Anyhow, joking aside, I agree that Republicans have been the party of fiscal irresponsibility for an entire generation now. One hardly expects them to shock us with prudential behavior, not any time soon.
Barasso pops up a lot on TV to parrot FOX News talking points about foreign policy: "our enemies don't fear us and our allies don't trust us" since Obama came to town. Complete dickhead.
@CONGRATULATIONS!: Who knew that requiring clean water was class warfare against Monsanto-shareholding, golf-playing oil barons. /snark

It could reduce the value of some farmland by as much as 40 percent.
Um, yup. Documenting ongoing pollution, sloppy, lazy or disinterested management, laissez-faire runoff mitigation, shady practices, etc. and factoring in clean-up would do that, you betcha.

Hope aquifers are added to that list as it looks like that's becoming a popular place to sweep mistakes under the rug.

Snark version.
Freeing all those (mostly fictitious) "family farms" the GOP harps about from the claws of the so-called "death tax."
More and more, I find myself wishing for a plague which targets only Rethugs and their idiot supporters. The meteor would take out too many innocents. I still say my proposal of moving them all to Texas, renaming it Dumbfuckistan, and walling it off, is the best alternative, given current technology. [Disclaimer: Austin residents and other non-insane Texans would be able to leave before the walling-off.] It's so fucking depressing.
@SFAW: With apologies to Soonergrunt: I'd suggest locating Dumbfuckistan in Oklahoma. Suggest they could do less damage there, and what has Mexico done to deserve a northern border with DFK? No major waterways or gulfs to f*ck with, either. No major airports.
Takes out Inhofe as a US senator in one fell swoop too.
renaming it Dumbfuckistan
Alternatively, name it Reaganland.
(Or is that redundant?)
@Mike in NC: I'm sure at some point they will. Story at 11.
@NotMax: Reaganland works for me.
It won't work for them, but up to them to learn that.
@cahuenga: True about the aquifers. I grew up in fresh water spring country in FL, and the changes I've seen over the past couple of decades are appalling. Of course, the voters keep electing Republican morons as governors and legislators, so the response ranges from inadequate to nonexistent….
Frankensteinbeck
Racism. Ever listen to country music? Rural and small-town whites, which are deep red voting demographics, think of themselves as farmers or cowboys even though they're not.
"Under this outrageously broad new rule, Washington bureaucrats would now have a say in how farmers, and ranchers, and families use their own property,"

It means traditionally anyone can throw whatever crap they want to into the water. Probably on the theory that the crap just magically goes away — or that no one will know who did it.

@Mike in NC:
Barasso pops up a lot on TV to parrot FOX News talking points about foreign policy: "our enemies don't fear us and our allies don't trust us" since Obama came to town.
Which anybody who actually lives on this planet knows is a bunch of made-up garbage. Unlike the Republican president, Obama actually eliminated bin Laden. As for our allies, they now actually have a much greater respect for the US than they did under bush. I know, because unlike Barasso i actually spend time travelling in Europe.
Barasso is a physician as well.
He was out in full-throated lie about Obamacare.
It's not enough for Wyoming that they gave us Richard Bruce Cheney.
It's actually quite simple, just a matter of punctuation.
The Clean Water Act contains the key phrase "waters of the United States." Words matter, even if we think it's "just semantics," and laws can have narrow or wide scope. In light of several recent Supreme Court cases, the EPA is proposing a rule change that would (and I quote) "make the process of identifying 'waters of the United States' less complicated and more efficient." Barrasso opposes the rule change.
What Barrasso is reported to have said:
This rule is not designed to protect the traditional waters of the United States. It is designed to expand the power of Washington bureaucrats.
What he perhaps should have said — or how his remarks on the Senate floor perhaps ought to have been transcribed:
Pedantry to the rescue — yet again.

And, as much as I think Reagan started the country down its path of self-destructive insanity, he would be considered a raving liberal by today's Rethug standards. (Of course, we could argue Reagan vs. Nixon vs. Goldwater re: who was the first Great Destroyer, but that's for another day.)

They wanted to protect our precious bodily fluids from communists. They never said anything about protecting them from good, honest American capitalists.

"Traditional waters" also means the right to shoot the Poors Cattle Rustlers stealin' water from your pond.
"Property" rights is an entire rage machine, like gun rights, but currently on a slow boil and a card in hand to play at the right time to go for Gin on outrage.
@SFAW: That's what I recall as well. I think Coburn even blamed the ACA for losing his oncologist in the middle of treatment for prostate cancer. Coburn and Obama were allegedly pals in the Senate. There probably actually were and are.
Sometimes the bluster and bombast in Congress reminds me of WrestleMania, where the participants denounce each other as evil-doers on camera and laugh about it over drinks later. I'm not saying that there aren't genuine and deep-seated differences between the various players — there are for sure. But they play to the rubes too, all of them.
@Cervantes: I think you're right about the "waters."
RaflW
Here's the thing about water, you Republican jackasses. It is never really "your property" because it moves. Once it has flowed over or under the ground to your neighbors, it's not yours any more.
So if it has PCBs in it, or g*d knows what fracking fluid, or nitrates even just salt from overfarming, you've ruined someone else's access to water.
So f*k you, GOP.
@SFAW: I thought 'Reaganland' might get them in there. After they are all in there & corralled, we can change it to Yahooistan.
Traditional waters is a jurisdiction issue- what waters can the federal government reach under the Commerce Clause or under a federal law based on the reach of the Commerce Clause.
Water law is complicated and I don't pretend to understand it but my husband is interested in Great Lakes environmental issues and he attends water law conferences, reads on it, etc.
Liberals try to extend the reach and conservatives try to restrict it. Generally. There are exceptions.
Here's some basics on the definitions/ jurisdiction issue.

@Cervantes:
Yes, I believe you're correct. I work for a sewer department so we deal with this issue a lot, and the definition of "waters of the United States" has always been controversial and open to interpretation. It tells you whether or not, for example, a sewer overflow is reportable to your state DNR. It defines a lot of things. We've been whipsawed the past few years trying to comply with the reporting requirements – we gone all the way from reporting every basement backup and cleanout overflow on private property to reporting only those overflows that actually reach a stream or storm sewer. Our lawyers had to get involved to try to figure out how we can best comply with the law, so it's not as easy as you might think. However, believing that every puddle and rivulet is going to be regulated is silly nonsense. I, for one, would welcome simplification and clarification of this issue.
What HE said!!
If you're going to accept the Ag handouts, then you gotta shut up about the water protection. Actually, whether you take handouts of not, you gotta shut up about water protection. Water is essential for life, and it needs to be clean if we intend to use it that way, which we must eventually.
I can't understand people who don't understand the moral evil in pollution! I must suppose they have evil in their heart, and actually believe that money is more important than clean water, and air, and food! Which is an evil belief.
I can't understand people who don't understand the moral evil in pollution!
My pollution costs me nothing; for me to clean up would cost me money; ergo my pollution is profitable.
The Earth is big, my pollution is small: it won't harm anything.
If it does cause harm, God will fix it.
If God does not fix it, then that is His Will, and who am I to question it?
Clean water?

world finance hammond la
world finance hammond la is the most popular and most well-known of all the self-awareness books. It's a comprehensive survey of the current situation of the world's financial system, from the top down, and it's a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the way the world works.
If you've ever wondered about the world of self-awareness, you'll find that it's a fascinating and fascinating subject. The book itself is a 400 page essay with a lot of fascinating and thought-provoking stuff. It's also one of the most comprehensive lists of self-awareness in existence, which includes everything from learning about being overweight to how to become a psychic.
The world financial system, as a whole, is fascinating. It is so detailed and complex that it could take years to get into all of the details. It also has an incredible amount of data and info. The world financial system also has its own language, which is completely understandable for most people. One of the things I enjoy most about world financial system is how much it includes information on things that are unknown to the rest of the world.
The world financial system is also an incredible place to be (for some), so it's easy to get sucked into it. As I mentioned, one of the things I enjoy the most about the world financial system is how much information it has. Not only its own language, but the way it goes into details about the world. Most of the time, I just get lost in all of the data and try to figure out what something means.
Well. This is why I'm not a fan of the world financial system. In fact, I'm probably not the best one to give this advice. I'm not sure if it's the lack of information or the way the system is structured that makes me feel this way. I do think I could have figured out the basics of the world financial system in, like, ten minutes. Now, let's just play along for a moment and let's start with some basic definitions.
I define the world finance system as the system of governments, banks, and corporations that make all of the money for the rest of us.
The world finance system is the most complex of all the systems, in the sense that it is the one that we all use every day. It does not make all of our money, but it does play a key role in creating most of it. It is the system that is used to finance everything, from buying and selling, to loans, to buying a house, to paying bills.
The world finance system is the system that we all use every day. The system that is used to make most of our money, and also most of our loans. The system that is used to pay for almost everything we do.
For almost two years, I have been a part of a team of researchers who have been researching the world finance system. It is the system that we all use every day. It is the system that we use to make most of our money. It is the system that we use to pay for almost everything we do. It is the system that is used to make most of our loans. The system that is used to make almost all of our bills.
Our loans and bills are paid by the international banking system. The world finance system is the system used to pay for almost all of our bills. The world currency that we use to pay for almost all our bills. The world currency that is used to pay for almost all of our loans. The system that is used to pay for almost all of our food. The system that is used to pay for almost all of our entertainment. The system that is used to pay for almost all of our entertainment.

What is the Lean Process?
The History of Six Sigma
Six sigma is by no means new. Motorola are widely acknowledged as the pioneers of the methodology and they introduced it over twenty years ago. The tools and philosophies behind it date back even further than that, some being more than fifty years old. It is therefore more accurate to describe six sigma as a natural evolution of continuous improvement and quality initiatives, rather than a radical new approach. It combines the best components of earlier initiatives into one structured tool. Therefore, to fully understand six sigma, it is necessary to look at where it has come from and how it has evolved. This article will consider some of the influential thinkers and trends that have made six sigma what it is today.
Honoré Blanc was a Parisian gunsmith who, in 1790, revealed a manufacturing system that astonished his peers. He had managed to produce interchangeable parts that were similar enough to allow for random selection of parts during the assembly process. At a public demonstration, Blanc assembled functional guns from components located in bins. He realized the potential of his system to reduce the cost of making and repairing guns and to provide work for "unskilled vagabonds" (ALDER, 1997). He also hoped it would lead to further innovations in manufacturing. Unknown to him, Blanc's method was one of the earliest attempts to reduce variation in a process and can therefore be considered a direct ancestor of six sigma. Two hundred years later, Blanc's system of 'bins' for part selection is still widely used in industry, albeit modified slightly to the two bin replenishment system!
In the 19th century, manufacturing built upon the foundations laid by Blanc. During this period, quality was concerned with finding ways to objectively verify if a part matched the original design. In order to ensure dimensional consistency, go-gauges were introduced to verify the minimum dimension of a part. It was another 30 years before no-go gauges were first used, to verify the maximum dimension (FOLARON, 2003).
Flow Production
In 1913, at Highland Park, Henry Ford became the first person to fully integrate a production process. He successfully combined interchangeable parts with standard work and moving conveyance, in what became known as 'flow production'. It is a well known fact that Ford was the first to use a moving assembly line, but its introduction made the requirement for consistent parts even more acute. The fast cycle times meant that verifying every component with gauges was not practical. Therefore, methods to monitor the stability of processes and sampling became necessary.
Walter Shewhart
One such method used to monitor process consistency was the control chart, which was invented by Walter Shewhart in 1924. The control chart helped change the role of the quality inspector from one of sorting through parts to identify defects, to one of monitoring processes for stability. Early detection of changes in a process allowed easier identification of the causes and more appropriate corrective actions to be implemented. The result was an improvement in product quality.
Shewhart's work is widely regarded as the foundation upon which TQM was built. He believed that information was critical if efforts to control and manage production processes were to be successful. As a result he developed statistical process control methods to aid managers in decision making.
During the 1920s and 1930s, production volumes became larger and more complex increasing the need for more sophisticated quality assurance and control. Large quality control departments became common. However, as the size of quality departments increased, the responsibility for quality shifted away from the operators.
As a result of the Second World War, the American economy boomed. Manufacturers enjoyed great demand for their products and had no need to rely on quality as a source of competitive advantage. The costs associated with scrap, rework and inspection were absorbed by the affluent consumers. During this time however, the Japanese economy was in ruins. Faced with the daunting task of rebuilding it, the Japanese drew on the quality teachings of American gurus such as W. Edwards Deming and J. M. Juran. The Japanese understood the potential benefits and implemented quality improvement processes, unlike their American counterparts who largely misunderstood the economics behind the principles.
Dr. W. Edwards Deming
Dr. W. Edwards Deming was a friend of Walter Shewhart, who went to Japan in 1950 to teach statistics and U.S. quality methods. His teachings had a large role to play in helping Japanese manufacturers become a major presence in the global market. Deming stressed the importance of analysing data against statistically computed limits as a way of quantifying variation. This information could then be used to improve future performance. In order to promote continuous improvement, Deming contributed the PDSA Cycle, shown below. Based on the Shewart cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act); the Deming Cycle (Plan, Do, Study, Act) is the basis of six sigma's DMAIC cycle.
The Deming Cycle
Joseph Juran
In 1954, another American, Joseph M. Juran was invited to Japan. His philosophy was similar to Deming's but was more evolutionary, in that it involved adapting the existing management system rather than implementing an entirely new one. In many ways Juran and Deming were very similar. They both believed that the main problems in quality were a result of cultural resistance, not the worker. Neither man endorsed the use of slogans/banners, and both knew that ultimate responsibility for quality lay with senior management. However, unlike Deming, Juran believed that statistics was not the complete remedy for quality problems. He is widely acknowledged as being the first person to bring the human dimension into quality, widening the field from a narrow statistical perspective to one that includes management. Juran also promoted the belief that quality data needs to be presented in financial terms to be understood by managers.
Other important contributions include the application of the 80-20 rule to quality, stating that 80% of problems come from 20% of causes and management should concentrate on that 20% 'vital few'. Juran based this on the work of 19th Century economist Vilfredo Pareto and renamed the principle after him (JURAN, 1975).
Another important concept proposed by Juran is the idea that the customer is not just the end customer and that each person along the chain has an internal customer, and as such is supplier to the next in the chain. In 1951 he published his "Quality Control Handbook".
Philip Crobsy
One other person who was writing about quality management at this time was Philip Crosby. His philosophy differed significantly from both Deming's and Juran's. It revolved around the concept of zero defects which stemmed from the U.S. space programme. He promoted the view that doing things right the first time will always be cheaper than trying to fix defects, and therefore quality is free. According to Crosby, many organisations do not realise the high costs of poor quality.
Crosby produced a fourteen point approach to quality improvement, which initially seemed like a recipe for success. However, with many managers delegating quality tasks and the target of zero defects difficult to reach, Crosby's approach was dismissed as unrealistic.
"If Japan Can, Why Can't We?"
By the 1970s, American industries were trailing behind their Japanese rivals. Japanese products were cheaper and more reliable than American equivalents and were attracting customers despite deeply rooted patriotic loyalties. This combined with the two oil crises resulted in a huge wake up call for American industries. They were forced into adopting quality control philosophies as a reactive measure.
On 24th June 1980, NBC aired a documentary entitled "If Japan Can, Why Can't We?". It featured the Nashua Corporation, a U.S. Company that had significantly improved its results by using the theories of Deming. This was the start of the American quality revolution with many people, including Ford's entire top management team, visiting the spotlighted company.
The renewed interest in Deming's work prompted him to help American managers better understand the concepts of variation and the value of using statistical methods. During his seminars he used graphic displays such as the red bead experiment and easy to understand key points such as his seven deadly diseases to get over his message. All of these ideas were collated in his books "Out of the Crisis " and "Quality, Productivity, and Competitive Position" which were published in the early 1980s. In these books, Deming set out 14 points which he believed could save the U.S. from the threat of Japanese competitors. Many of the points are reflected in key six sigma principles, such as the importance of training (point 6), the importance of leadership (point 7), and interdepartmental teams (point 9).
Other Six Sigma Influencers
Armand Feigenbaum
During the latter half of the twentieth century, many other influential thinkers had an impact on quality. One such person was Armand Feigenbaum who developed the concepts of total quality control, customer-defined quality, and cost of nonconformance. In 1956, he became the first to use the term 'total quality control'. In the November/December 1956 issue of the Harvard Business Review he stated that "the way out of the dilemma imposed on businessmen by increasingly demanding customers and by ever-spiraling costs of quality … was a new kind of quality control, which might be called total quality control".
In his article "Total Quality Management & the Contributions of A. V. Feigenbaum", Lawrence Huggins (1998) describes three of Feigenbaum's major contributions to quality management.
Firstly, Feigenbaum correctly recognised that managers are concerned with furthering their careers through favourable performance. To do this meant increasing profitability within their department and one significant way to achieve that was to lower costs. Feigenbaum, who worked at General Electric (GE) between 1937 and 1968, showed his peers how it was possible to reduce costs by using quality controls with a number of internal corporate publications. His work in the area was the first to categorise quality costs into prevention, appraisal, and internal and external failure. The Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) has become the initial financial analysis conducted for a six sigma project.
Secondly, Feigenbaum focused his efforts on improving the design function. He reasoned that prevention of quality defects started with the engineering designs of products. This is because the design will specify the material and therefore the machines and processes required to produce a product. Placing emphasis on quality at such an early stage, particularly designing to meet the needs of the customer, is now embodied in the concept of Design For Six Sigma (DFSS).
Finally, Feigenbaum also proposed the establishment of a permanent Design Review Board in each product department. This Board was to be composed of a Systems Project Engineer, the responsible Design Engineer, a Product Service Representative, a Reliability Engineer and a Quality Review Representative. In the crafting of this team concept, Feigenbaum paved the way for today's interdepartmental six sigma teams.
Kaoru Ishikawa
Another influential thinker is Kaoru Ishikawa, who is best known for the cause and effect diagram. Also known as the Ishikawa or fishbone diagram, it is a powerful tool that can easily be used to analyse and solve problems. He also played a key role in the development of the Japanese quality strategy, which is characterised by involvement in quality, from the top to the bottom of an organization, as well as from the start to the finish of the product life cycle. This all encompassing quality strategy known as company wide quality control (CWQC) is outlined in Ishikawa's book "What is Total Quality Control? The Japanese Way". Ishikawa also understood the importance of top management support, which is a key element in CWQC as well as in six sigma. The bottom-up approach of CWQC is evident in the concept of the quality circle, which is a small group of employees from a work area who voluntarily meet at regular intervals to identify, analyse, and resolve work related problems. Ishikawa was a major influence in the growth in popularity of quality circles. He was the chief executive director of Quality Control Circle headquarters at JUSE and also edited JUSE's two books on the subject, "QC Circle Koryo" and "How to Operate QC Circle Activities".
Genichi Taguchi
Genichi Taguchi was yet another notable thinker who developed both the loss function and an adaptation of orthogonal arrays to designed experiments. He also advocated the concept of robustness. Taguchi devised an equation to quantify the decline of a customer's perceived value of a product as its quality declines. This tells managers how much revenue they are losing because of variability in their production process. Taguchi's loss function shows how monetary loss increases as variation increases.
Taguchi's Loss Function
In a production process there will undoubtedly be external factors or 'noise' which can cause deviations from the target. Isolating these factors to determine their individual effects can be very costly and time consuming. Taguchi devised a way to use orthogonal arrays to isolate these noise factors from all others in a cost effective manner. He went on to observe that some noise factors can be identified, isolated and even eliminated but others cannot. This prompted him to refer to the ability of a process or product to work as intended regardless of uncontrollable noise as robustness. The development of products and processes which perform uniformly regardless of uncontrollable forces has obvious benefits.
Quality Function Deployment
Along with Dr. Shigeru Mizuno, Dr. Yoji Akao is the founder of Quality Function Deployment (QFD). As far back as the 1960s, he was exploring ways to apply powerful Japanese problem solving algorithms to designing products right the first time. Initially using a "fish bone" diagram, his more complex analyses led to a matrix to identify the design elements which would impact customer satisfaction the greatest. This has become a key tool in the six sigma toolbox.
Shigeo Shingo
Shigeo Shingo was one of the world's leading experts on manufacturing practices and The Toyota Production System (TPS). He is famous for his concepts of Poka-yoke (mistake-proofing) and single-minute exchange of dies (SMED).
TQM was a popular management philosophy in the latter part of the twentieth century and was defined by Feigenbaum as:
"an effective system for integrating the quality development, quality maintenance and quality improvement efforts of the various groups in an organization so as to enable production and service at the most economical levels which allow for full customer satisfaction."
~ FEIGENBAUM, 1986
TQM began with total quality control in the mid-1950s, but evolved into a way of working and thinking that focuses on:
meeting the needs and expectations of customers;
including every person in the organisation;
examining all costs which are related to quality, especially failure costs;
getting things 'right first time', i.e. designing quality in rather than inspecting it in;
developing the systems and procedures which support quality and improvement;
developing a continuous process of improvement.
(SLACK et al., 2001)
From this description it can be seen how TQM is a logical progression in the field of quality management, building on much of what has been mentioned previously. Despite the large scale adoption of TQM in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the movement did not endure. It peaked in 1993 (PONZI & KOENIG, 2002) and thereafter lost momentum as managers became disillusioned. The main reasons for the disappointment were poor economic returns compounded by inflated expectations, poor implementation, poor understanding and too much focus on awards (HENDRICKS & SINGHAL, 1999). One such award was the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA).
Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award
Malcolm Baldrige was the Secretary of Commerce between 1981 and 1987 (NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS & TECHNOLOGY, 2007). He was an advocate of quality management and worked to implement the Quality Improvement Act in America. In honour of his work, Congress named the award after him when they introduced it in 1987. The MBNQA is presented annually by the President of the United States to businesses that have shown outstanding performance in seven key areas:
Customer & market focus
Information & analysis
Human resource focus
The award was established to increase the awareness of the importance of quality and performance excellence as a source of competitive advantage. The assessment criteria for the award focuses on two goals: delivering ever improving value to customers and improving overall organisational performance, both of which are fundamental to the six sigma methodology. A report produced by the Council on Competitiveness (1995) concluded that:
"More than any other program, the Baldrige Quality Award is responsible for making quality a national priority and disseminating best practices across the United States."
The award is similar to Deming's, which was introduced in Japan by JUSE in 1951.
In 1988 Motorola became the first ever recipient of the MBNQA. At the time, they were among the US companies facing increasing competitive pressure from Japan, and as a result became the first company to implement a six sigma initiative. In 1986, in response to increasing warranty claims, senior engineer Bill Smith introduced the concept of six sigma, as a way to standardise defect measurement. CEO Bob Galvin saw the potential of the method and adopted six sigma as a core business strategy. Motorola underwent a massive cultural change so that they were focused on meeting the quality standards of customers. They formulated a methodology to ensure consistency that involved documenting key processes, aligning the processes to customer requirements and implementing measurement systems to continuously improve the process. Since its introduction in the mid 1980s, Motorola have attributed savings of over sixteen billion US dollars to six sigma projects (HEURING, 2004).
Allied Signal & General Electric
In order to achieve its goal of increasing awareness of the importance of quality, recipients of the MBNQA are requested to share details of their quality practices with others. Motorola obliged, explaining their approach, which was soon adopted by others including AlliedSignal in 1991. Allied's CEO, Larry Bossidy demonstrated the business potential of six sigma by effectively turning around his company. In 1995 they had saved $175 million and in 1996, nearly twice as much again. Around this time, Bossidy introduced Jack Welch, CEO of GE to the concept of six sigma. Welch made the methodology a corporate requirement and firmly deployed it throughout his organisation with great intensity. His results are well documented:
"We plunged into Six Sigma with a company-consuming vengeance just over three years ago. We have invested more than a billion dollars in the effort, and the financial returns have now entered the exponential phase — more than three quarters of a billion dollars in savings beyond our investment in 1998, with a billion and a half in sight for 1999."
~ GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, 1998
Modern day six sigma
Many companies now consider six sigma an important part of their strategy. They have invested heavily in six sigma training and created roles in their organisational hierarchy. Often these six sigma jobs are well compensated due to the required skill set from a candidate.
Six sigma black belts are project managers that lead DMAIC projects to fix problems in existing business processes. They often have a six sigma certification based around number of projects completed, verified financial savings and number of employees trained. Sometimes they go on to study lean manufacturing to and become a lean six sigma black belt.
Black belts are responsible for delivering a six sigma course to train green belts who will work for them on their projects. During green belt training the black belt will explain how to use six sigma tools. Often this is done in parallel with an actual project so that green belts get a chance to apply what they learn. Black belts become ambassadors for six sigma in the company and an integral part of developing employee capability.
The entry level of six sigma training in a company is often an overview or "sheep dip" that everybody goes through to familiarise them with the language. Employees with this level of training are sometimes called a six sigma yellow belt.

Here she is, about two weeks old, wearing newborn jammies. And they are waaaaayyyy too big.
And here she is this weekend, wearing 3-6 month jammies. As you can see, Addi loves that they match, Sam is somewhat worried that she looks like a geek with matching clothes. A girl's gotta have style. But, at least they fit. I can only do so much.
Oh, and the guy in the disgusting stained t-shirt that should have seen the bottom of a trash can about, oh, three years ago? That's my husband. Maybe now that the world has seen his yucky shirt I can throw it away. Fingers crossed.

The number of Aussies admitted to hospital for weight loss surgery has more than doubled in a decade. With so many non-surgical weight loss options available, why is this on the rise?
Weight loss surgery refers to undergoing an operation designed to achieve substantial weight loss for patients who have a degree of obesity that is clinically harmful. There is extensive evidence now showing a relationship between being overweight and having multiple health conditions (referred to as comorbidities). These include but are by no means limited to type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea, asthma, hypertension (high blood pressure), arthritis, depression, and a number of cancers. The level of obesity at which health problems begin to occur is most commonly defined based on the body mass index (BMI) which is a calculation based on someone's height and weight. Once the BMI exceeds around 35, the risk of developing, or successfully treating obesity-related comorbidities becomes increasingly difficult. There is also extremely reliable evidence that suggests the ability to lose and maintain weight loss for patients who already have a BMI at this level is extremely difficult to achieve.

David Hall, (producer, director and author responsible for the popular Fred Dibnah programmes on BBC2) is currently writing a new book. 'Working Lives' will tell the stories of some of the people that worked in Britain's major industrial industries in the 1950's & 60's, when this country was still considered the workshop of the world. It's the stories of your work, life and times that we want to hear and feel should be preserved. We're looking for people who'd be happy to spare a little time to talk about memories from their earlier lives and about the communities they were part of. The jobs you had and what they entailed; social and family life, local traditions, courting rituals, the hardships and the pleasures in life, works outings, the decline of industry and the affect it had upon your community…. your memories of Britain in the 1950's, 60's and 70's.


When prepping for a climb of Mount St. Helens or potentially the Wonderland a Trail, the best preparations is simply getting out and hike no matter what the weather brings. It's a great way to understand how to adjust to adverse weather conditions and test out and understand your gear. Much better to do a gear check closer to home than 10 or 20 miles in the middle of nowhere.


The Niagara Knights women's basketball program (1-1, 4th OCAA West) are set to take on the Humber Hawks (0-1, 8th OCAA West) in the 4th Annual Blue and White game on November 1st.
After an incredible comeback in their opening game of the season against Redeemer that saw the Knights come back from a 21-point deficit with 8:17 remaining in the game to win 83-79 in overtime, they travelled to Conestoga College where they dropped their first game of the year against the Condors, 57-38.
Bridget Atkinson (Welland) will look to continue the charge against the Hawks. In the comeback against Redeemer, Atkinson dropped a team leading 30 points, 17 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals. It was a different story in the second game, however, as she managed just 4 points on 2-12 shooting. As a team, the Knights shot just 18.3 percent from the field (15-82) against the Condors, something that they will be looking to fix this time around.
Also looking to make an impact on the game against the Hawks will be Hannah Baker (Thorold) who is averaging 12.5 points per game, including a team-high 10 points against the Condors. Tia Stys (St. Catharines) can be a spark in the Knights offence, just like she showed in the first game of the season, when she scored 23 points and added 14 rebounds.
A year ago, the Knights lost both of their regular season games against the Hawks, so they will be looking to get some vengeance. In 42 games against the Hawks since 1979, Niagara holds a 9-33 record. It's a brand new season with returning veterans and fresh faces on both sides of the court, so both teams will be looking to earn the victory in their first matchup of the season in front of a packed Blue and White game crowd.


This is a two day project initiated today, more precisely now.
Objective: is to create a Blogspot theme from scratch.
Audience being any one who want s to make blogspot themes that you can sell or just give away for free downloads.
What we will be doing here is make a dummy template first. Then apply all kinds of design preferences we have.
At first I will be making a dummy template which will have all the necessities of a Blogspot theme without any design at all.
Off to next to post.
