The Alpine Rally of East Gippsland is excited to announce that Lock and Load Transport have come on board as a major sponsor in 2019. Lock and Load Transport are a major supporter of motorsport in Australia and New Zealand.
As part of the sponsorship package announced today Lock and Load will be providing stage awards for every stage of the event across most categories of car and competitor.
Managing Director of Lock and Load Transport, Phil Thomas said "We see the 2019 Alpine as being one of the pinnacles of Australian motorsport with its rich history and the list of champions that have succeeded in taking victory and we are proud to be associated with this heritage."
"In addition to our financial support, we are pleased to be providing stage awards making this a great opportunity to receive one of our awesome products just by competing" commented Phil Thomas.
Mr. Thomas explained that, "We have a range of products that concentrate on vehicle tie down systems suitable for push bikes, motorbikes, all road vehicles and even V8 Supercars. Our products are built to a standard not a budget therefore you can expect innovation and quality paired together to bring you solutions for your specific tie down requirements."
Lakes Entrance will be alive with excitement and the sound of engines when the Alpine Rally of East Gippsland returns on Friday 29th November. The Alpine Rally, which was first run in 1921 is Australia's oldest motorsport event and the fourth oldest motorsport event in the world. With a history like that, it is easy to see why such an iconic event attracts cars and crews from every mainland state and territory in Australia as well as Tasmania and New Zealand.
Alpine Rally of East Gippsland Clerk of Course, Owen Polanski says "we are lucky to be so embraced by the East Gippsland community and especially Lakes Entrance which opens its community arms to well over 3000 people from all over Australia which includes competing crews, service crews, officials and spectators. It is such a huge event to organize that it only takes place every two years and many crews build cars especially for this event" he said. "It is not only our oldest event but one of the toughest with nearly 400 competitive kilometers over the three days of the event".

About the Alpine Rally
The first Alpine Rally in Australia was conducted by the RACV in 1921, partly as a showcase for the Victorian High Country, promoting motorized vehicle travel in the region. It is second only to the famous Monte Carlo Rally as the longest continuously running rally in the world. The event evolved in to an Australian Championship Rally in the 1960's and maintained its reputation as the biggest and the toughest event by far on the calendar.
Since the early 1990's it has been conducted for classic and historic rally cars, bringing back to the forest the sights and sounds from the so called 'golden era' of Australian car rallies in the 1960's and 1970's.

That's why it was so distressing to see JoeCal bite the hand that fed him yesterday, telling reporters in London that boxing was dying. Considering that he's supposedly on his way out of the game, you have to question his motivation for taking a shot at the sport that's been so good to him.
One quote stood out as especially bitter:
"There is too much politics in boxing, too many belts and too many champions, which dilutes real champions like myself," he said.
He's not completely off base, as boxing definitely has its share of problems. But if he's upset about not becoming a bigger star during his career, he needs to look in the mirror first. Calzaghe chose not to fight in the United States for most of his career, so it's hardly surprising that even matched up against Hopkins and Jones, he wasn't a huge draw.
Meanwhile, Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao just did over a million buys despite the fact that:
- Many mainstream media outlets derided the fight as a joke because of De La Hoya's size advantage.
- None of the belts Calzaghe whines about were on the line.
- The U.S. is a year into a pretty serious recession.
It's also pretty sad to see Calzaghe drag the (extremely) tired "MMA is killing boxing" theory back into the light again. Yes, MMA is more popular among young American fans. Yes, there's a lot that boxing could learn (undercards anyone?) from the way Dana White and company do business.
But there's little evidence that MMA is having much of an impact on boxing. It's becoming clear that there isn't as much of a crossover audience between the two sports as people once assumed - ask Golden Boy and Affliction about the backlash when they considered combining them on one card - and no reason to think MMA fans would magically become boxing fans if MMA were to whither away. The troubles that boxing does have are of its own making.
So yes, this isn't the golden age of the sport. Boxing is likely to experience some pain over the next few years as the global economy tries to pick itself up off the canvas. Unless Pacquiao's stock continues to climb, no one looks ready to step into De La Hoya's role as the top dog among casual fans.
The negatives can't be ignored, but there are positives too. There is a great crop of young talent on its way up. There are plenty of boxing fans in Europe, Asia and Australia, even if things are soft in the U.S.
And in any case, Calzaghe isn't doing anything to help with his comments, nor is he really offering any solutions. He's earned the right to speak his mind, and that's fine.
Now please Joe, just shut up and retire gracefully.

For new investors or those who already own a certain amount of gold, the question of whether it is worth holding onto as an investment or to cash it in becomes a common concern.
Gold has held an important place in the world's economies for thousands of years. It is valued not only for its monetary worth but also for its aesthetic appeal. It's no mystery why people attach sentimental value to this precious metal.
While some see investing in gold as an outdated practice that ought to be replaced by a more modern equivalent, many still see gold as a necessary investment; especially for those looking to diversify their investment portfolios.
So how is gold doing in our present economy? Is it still considered a good investment or should investors look into other investment vehicles to diversify?
Benefits of Investing in Gold
Gold has proven valuable as protection against inflation, declining currencies, and as insurance during economic and political turmoil. Many financial experts would advise the average investor to invest at least 5% of their assets to gold for diversification.
Different forms of Gold
Gold bullion coins
While there are certainly many benefits to investing in gold, especially for the long-term, the value of your investment will depend greatly on the type of investment you choose. Gold bullion coins are perhaps the safest and easiest to acquire, because they can be purchased at most central banks and can be sold quickly when necessary.
Gold jewelry
Of all the types of gold investments, perhaps the most appealing to the novice investor is gold jewelry. Gold jewelry is not a good investment. Jewelry has very high markup and its price is largely determined by the labor put into making them – not the base value of the gold and gemstones it's made with.
Gold bullion/bars in vaults
Gold that is stored in high security professional vaults is a cost-efficient investment option as it solves the problem of finding a safe storage for your gold and is much more liquid as you no longer need to prove its purity once you decide to sell. Gold in this form is also bought at the lowest markup since you no longer have to transact in smaller quantities with gold dealers.
Gold in the form of bullion bars and coins is a good investment in the long run but gold jewelry, while pretty, has poor resale value. Unless it can be classified as an antique or is incredibly rare, it will not go up in value and would be better suited as something to pass on in an inheritance if it carries sentimental value.
The price of gold has dropped quite dramatically in 2015 because of the strengthening US dollar. The outlook for 2016 is not looking so positive either but it is worth remembering that gold prices have always been cyclical throughout history and is likely to go up eventually. If you've got some gold, cashing it in now or in the near future would be the way to go.
If you have some old gold jewelry lying around that you don't use anymore, you can turn jewelry into cash and invest in other vehicles that would give you higher returns in the future.

I injured my back at work and will be out of work for 3 days. Was wondering if i was covered for the 3 days that I am off?
I injured my back at work and will be out of work for 3 days. Was wondering if i was covered for the 3 days that I am off?
South Dakota has a 7 day waiting period payable after 7 consecutive days of disability.
do you still get paid for the first seven days but at a later time or they just don't pay you for the fist seven days
Yes South Dakota will go back and pay if you are off work for 7 consecutive days.
I was recently told that I can only be paid after missing 7 or more consecutive days in a row (which is fine) I have a Dr.s note for those days. My question is I missed about 9 days (not consecutively) before this, but after my injury date(I have Dr's note for these days also), they told me that I can't collect any WC pay for those 9 days even though it says on the WC Law for my state that "If the incapacityasts for 7 consecutive days or more, compensation is then computed from the date of injury." What does that mean. I'm confused?
It means the date of injury controls what rate is paid even if the lost time was 2 yrs later and there has been a rate change in the meantime; the days still have to be consecutive.

burton0788babe any time you missed before the injury can not be contributed to time lost after the injury. Did you miss those nine days before the work injury or after? If it was before there is NO way you will be able to use them for the work injury. It just does NOT work that way sorry.

The research asked health professionals and patients about when sexual behavior towards a colleague crosses a boundary, how this behavior is relevant to fitness to practice, and how regulators should respond to the behavior. The findings highlighted participants' views on the negative impact this behavior may have on patient safety and quality of care, including being an indication of attitudinal problems and lack of empathy, stress and distraction it may cause for the colleague subject, creating a culture where boundary-crossing becomes acceptable, and eroding public confidence and trust when such behavior is witnessed.

In my (admittedly very brief) experience with those that have come to me with this kind of request, it doesn't take much to draw out in conversation some recognisable elements of non-demonic origin such as mental illness, drug abuse, guilt and shame related to past histories of abuse and sometimes just a bit too much TV/movies. I've come across some deeply damaged people, for whom the path to recovery is a very long one indeed, and am wary of quick solutions, as well as the constant reminder to do no more harm.
In this case, it was evident to me that an exorcism was not what was needed but it has made me think again about the need for creative ways to help people who feel spiritually trapped. Prayer is often helpful, but sometimes a meaningful ritual or symbol might be useful as well. Given some of the well-documented abuses in this area, we need to be very careful about how we proceed.

Thank for that post Jason.
I think we don't question the pre-modern wordview in a modern/post-modern world enough in the Salvation Army.
I would be interested to hear what 'wider reading' you had done on the subject that you found helpful.
Thanks again.

Liam, 'People of the Lie" by M. Scott Peck is probably the best that I've found. Though the author's experience stretches my imagination beyond what's comfortable, the rest of his writings are generally credible enough to make him worth reading. Peck also recommends a book by Malachi Martin that took the subject beyond what I was prepared to follow. Regards, JDK

im really liking reading your blog jason!
i had some great experiences of exorcisms last year. I dodnt even realise they were exorcisms until they had happend though.
We were praying for a girl who had had past abuse, attatched to this was guilt, fear, low self esteem etc.
As we prayed in the spirit we started binding the enemy from taking her captive. we released her from these things in Jesus name and her life completely changed after this.
Although her head didnt turn and she didnt speak in a deep voice something changed.
In my reading I have found that demons attatch themselves to pain, sin, guilt etc
Although they may not be posessed, the enemy can definately have foot holds and strongholds because of these things...
it would be good to catch up with you sometime and talk about this stuff...

Thanks for sharing your experience James. It highlights a question for me about whether we need to look at a wider scope for this subject - perhaps deliverance or liberation is more helpful language than exorcism? I'm becoming increasingly convinced that it's a topic we need to take far more seriously than perhaps we have. Did you hear about the Mercy Ministries story recently? See this. Happy to talk further if you're interested - give me a call or drop into Brunswick some time.

I think the deliverance language is good. Being set free. Much better than exorcism with so many tv connotations!
I had heard about the article but had not read it until now. Depending on the facts, theres a number of problems with what was going on there thats for sure.
Im pretty tied up at the moment with forge and a trip to adeliade but i still would like to catch up and hava chat about some of this stuf...

A tiny one-school district with 25 students proves that passion for education and compassion for all living things is an award winning combination.
Set in Big Sur, where the spectacular Pacific coastline meets majestic redwoods, Pacific Valley School wins top honors from the California School Boards Association for its "Ambassadors for the Arts and Environment Program." For its innovative student-led entry in the Association's annual Golden Bell Awards Program, the District receives the first annual California School Boards Association "Going Green!" award.
"Ambassadors for the Arts and Environment" is recognized for its dedication to building student-led, environmentally friendly curricula and community outreach. The program was submitted in the Sustainable, Renewable, Energy and Resource Efficient Programs category of the Golden Bell Awards, a long-standing statewide recognition program that identifies and celebrates excellent public education programs across all areas of instruction and leadership.
"We believe the newly created 'Going Green!' category reflects public education's growing interest in environmental protection and resource conservation and we support that interest," said Peter Fagen, Managing Partner at Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost LLP. The firm is generously endowing the Going Green! award with a $5,000 education award.
"We work with school districts throughout the state that are striving to reduce energy consumption and explore renewable energy options for their schools. We feel offering financial support to student-based programs that encourage conservation efforts is a natural way for us to support the great 'green' cause."
Designed to accelerate student learning about eco-friendly concepts through peer-based instruction, "Ambassadors for the Arts and Environment" encourages students in the Pacific Valley School to explore environmental concepts through art and cross-curricular community service outreach projects. Students in the program reach out to the numerous underserved communities in the surrounding area to help build environmental awareness among the region's youth.
The goal of "Ambassadors for the Arts and Environment" is "…to expand and transfer awareness of the potential value of environmental stewardship, identify ways to harness these phenomena through the arts and multiple curricula… and underscore the lessons with a community service component to spread the wealth of these powerful learning experiences to students in the surrounding rural and underserved districts."
Recipient of the 2005 Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award, the program includes a variety of lessons. Two examples are outlined below.
Full Circle
Teams of students are trained in and pass on to others special art techniques and key environmental stewardship-related concepts, such as creating beautiful handmade paper recycled from classroom waste paper, painted in watercolor and embedded with seeds to address the concept of a completely-sustainable resources loop. Through this concept, the recycled art can be planted in the ground, allowing the seeds to grow back into trees from which paper originates.
Power Up
With support from a PG&E "Bright Ideas" grant, the school's Gifted and Talented Program receives hands-on, project-based learning by tapping renewable, non-depletive energy from the sun. They build model solar-powered cars and even hold a "Solar Car-O-Rama" with model car shows and drag races.
"One Who Teaches Learns"
The "Ambassadors" invite neighboring districts and deliver student-led programs and activities to all students, including those with special needs. Their winning application describes how a child with severe autism appeared unable to participate in the project, retreated to a corner, crying, but was ultimately engaged and, with a paintbrush in hand and smile on his face, designed brilliant colors on a piece of freshly recycled handmade paper. The students pride themselves on developing ways to express and communicate their discoveries to others through the arts and their own personal peer teaching styles.
As part of the California School Boards Association's Golden Bell Awards, which recognizes excellent education in 19 categories, the "Going Green!" category – Sustainability, Renewable, Energy and Resource Efficient Programs – is the only Golden Bell category complemented by an education award for schools/students. Entries are solicited statewide and evaluated by CSBA leadership. Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost is proud to contribute a $5,000 education award to the winner.

Elastic Austane® coupling components can be subjected to heavy dynamic loads. In addition to absorbing jolts and vibrations, they withstand the wear that is normally caused by unintentional radial and axial movement of shafts, because Austane® has excellent wear resistance and elasticity.
Even the harder grades are highly elastic. However, if a grade with higher elastic modulus is used, the size of couplings can be reduced. This makes them less costly to produce and saves space in the machinery concerned.

Project trillogic is spot on about fear. It's a fear of being alone that makes people settle down and in most cases that fear is with men. Men get it when they're younger and women get it when they're older. That's why most rich men who get sugar babies are older because they realise women are nothing but a wet pussy and you gotta pay for a wife anyway you might as well a young dumb slut to fuck every day. I read an article about how older women are lonely lol that's because men get to the age where renting pussy is better. Women have no value besides baby making.
The he majority of people truly aren't happy with themselves, their life, their progress etc I wonder how long it takes them to realise happiness is yours to create.

I love words. I always have … or at least I have for as long as I can remember. My mom says that from the time I was old enough to sit up by myself, she could keep me occupied just by giving me a page of the newspaper. Apparently I would stare at the words in rapt fascination for long stretches of time that would allow her to fix meals or get other things done around the house. I still love the sight of printed words—in any language. It's still a marvel to me that we can capture thoughts from our minds with scribbles on a page. I suppose it's no surprise, therefore, that I grew up loving to read and to write.
I also love the sound of words. Sometimes the sound of a certain word will capture my attention, and I find myself marveling over the sound of each letter and each syllable, how those sounds fit together, and how the word feels in my mouth. This happens with new words (to me) and to words that I use all of the time. In those moments, it's as if they are suddenly highlighted by a spotlight in my mind that makes them exotic all over again.
When I was a pre-teen, I remember taking a long cross-country road trip one summer with my family. As we drove, I filled a small notebook with new words that I created out of thin air. I was attempting to make up my own language so that I could be assured of being able to write with complete privacy. It was actually kind of boring, as languages go, since I simply substituted my made up words for English words—no new syntax or new grammatical constructions at all. Plurals in my language were still formed by adding "s," past tense was still indicated by adding an "ed," and so on. But I still remember how delightful it was to play with sounds and create all of my own words from scratch. I wish I still had that notebook!
The biggest fascination of all are the meaning of words, the shades of nuance between this word and that word, the words that exist and those that don't, the peculiar construction of figures of speech, the subtle beauty of metaphors and similes, words that are commonly misused and words that are obscure and underused. All of these things make me happy just to ponder. (Yes, I know this isn't "normal," but I gave up on normal some time ago, so that's quite alright by me.)
There are many words that I particularly like because I like what they represent: ice cream, laughter, muse, gratitude, transformation, piano, fascination, beauty, trees, love, ponder, nature, friendship, happiness, passion, light, books … the list goes on and on. But I have been noticing for the last week or so that there are some words that jump out at me with unusual power. These are words that capture my attention whenever I see them.
So I've been starting to make a list of these words as I notice them. So far, my list includes (in no particular order):
- Story
- Joy
- Creativity
- Silence
- Compassion
- Blessing
- Empathy
- Journey
- Curiosity
I'm sure there are more, and I am now on the look out for words that strike a similar chord as these. I am still feeling my way along in distinguishing between words that I really like and ones that attract me like a moth to a flame—some have been added to the list and later dropped, others have stayed constant. I am also still trying to discern what it means that I react to these words as I do. Is there a lesson for me in these words? Does the list stay constant or does it shift as my journey continues?
I don't have any answers yet, but I am curious, and I am paying attention. Just taking the time to pay attention in this way to words again and to the many things and ideas that I love in the process of evaluating these words is reminding me of the magnificent beauty of words and the magnificence of the world that I live in. What a joy it is to be a writer using words as my creative medium! I am so blessed.

Gumperndorfer Strasse
6. District Vienna
The geometry of the new rooftop extension in the Gumpendorferstrasse 38, in the 6th district of Vienna is formed and sculpted, with the intention to create a fresh, unexpected design for both the interior and exterior. The unique design of the interiors of both apartments offers recognition and roominess. Each of the two units has got three bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as separate toilets. The upper floor, with separate access for guests, an open kitchen with balcony, generous living- and dining- rooms and access to the terrace, as well as the second apartment, which differs from the other one by having an additional terrace, both offer great possibilities for unforgettable evenings.

On Monday's AgriTalk, Chuck Conner, president and CEO of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives (NCFC), said the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has support across agriculture and should be an easy decision for Congress to finalize.
"If you're an American legislator, there's absolutely no reason to be against this," Conner said. "Farmers need this. And these are tough, tough times, probably the toughest times on the American farm that we've seen since the mid-80s. They need these additional markets that USMCA and other things create."
Conner has been at the NCFC for 10 years. Previously he was Deputy Secretary for the USDA in the George W. Bush administration, and in all he has served more than 25 years in national and state government.
Pulling from his decades of experience, Conner shared his insights on USMCA, future trade agreements with the European Union and Japan, and what all of this means for agriculture.
Conner said USMCA will provide better market opportunities for agriculture in important ways.
"This new agreement is really an agreement that is all about benefiting the United States," he said. "This agreement resolves those (previous concessions) and breaks through the barriers of dairy, poultry, biotechnology and a lot of other things that are critical to American agriculture where we've had problems."
As a particular example of how this will improve U.S. agricultural trade, Conner points to wheat.
"Any kind of wheat that we shipped to Canada, it almost immediately gets graded as feed wheat. Therefore, it's subject to lower prices and it's a trade barrier," he said. "Yet it has been in place for a long time and NAFTA did not fix that. The new USMCA I think will move the ball forward and put us on a path where they will treat our wheat the same as they do their own wheat in Canada. And that's always been our goal."
He also noted that July 4 is shaping up to be the next deadline for USMCA to move ahead.
"We are in a 30-day counting period right now where the administration has sent up what they call their statement of administrative action. And that's basically to alert Congress that the legislation implementing USMCA is coming and coming quickly. And so that 30 days isn't necessarily on the calendar clock, but it expires here around the Fourth of July."
After that period, he says Congress has 60 legislative days to act.
"It's our hope that Congress will act and as American agriculture, we are united in trying to persuade Congress to adopt this because this new agreement is only a benefit to the United States," he said.
According to Conner, now is the time to get USMCA finalized.
"I don't think there will be a USMCA if we don't get this thing done by the end of the year or certainly very early in 2020. As we get deep into a presidential election run, Congress is just not going to do anything as highly controversial as what USMCA is, and so we've got a few months window here to get this done," he said.
Conner also discussed developing trade with the European Union and Japan, and he shared his impression of how important agriculture is to the Trump administration. Listen to the full interview for more:

Who Gave These Filipinos Those Rock Guitars?
The fact that Dark Angel rocks harder than Death Angel is an issue that was settled here at M.I. sometime back. Nevertheless, a two part mini-documentary about Death Angel that was done back when they first signed to a major label (with band members' ages ranging from 14 to 19) is certainly worth sharing with our readers. These guys look exactly as I wanted to look back then. Sadly, my mom wouldn't let me have long hair and I didn't have rad metal shirts. Sure, sure, my brother and I shared a couple of metal tees, but for the most part I was rocking my sweatpants, my Freddy Kruger sweatshirt (not a sweater like the one Freddy wore, no, a heather grey number with his face screenprinted on it), or maybe an OP shirt, all the while dousing myself in Brut cologne (to atract the ladies). Since baja's (drug rugs) came up in the last post, I should mention that I also wanted one very badly circa 1990, but my mom wouldn't let me have one. Bummer.
Check out their bodacious skate gear, the sweatsocks, the suspenders, the matching outfits....the Sisters of Mercy shirt? That shirt should have been a sign to us all about things to come. Enjoy.
Part One
Part Two

as a Filipino-American metalhead/hardcore bro, i remind everyone that Death Angel does not represent the Filipino-American heavy music community at large.ReplyDelete

How can a band with such a good first album can record so much shit afterwards?ReplyDelete
Previously in another post it was stated that Death Angel beats Dark Angel in terms of name. After this guy's explanation about the meaning of the band's name, that statement should be reconsidered. Lame...
Finally, Sisters of Mercy's first album (First And Last And Always) and the demos before that album are awesome, and I don't feel embarrassed in affirming that after the previous post about awful glam metal bands that should be forgotten. Supporting those bands is like supporting deathcore nowadays.

And what about the homo-erotic tag? Check the second video, around 1:58, when the singer starts softly and gently touching the microphone stand during the soft part of Voracious Souls...ReplyDelete
Illegal aliens...hahaha
They always seemed really average to me. Sisters of Mercy are great, though!ReplyDelete
oh damn, you're totally right about the band's name! it's not evil at all!ReplyDelete
regarding sisters of mercy, i've never heard them, but then again...I live under a rock. I say I live under a rock because I still firmly believe that no music in any genre has been made since 1995, so what do I know. If anyone tries to prove to me, for example, that death metal still exists, I'll show them how NASA probably made those albums in a Hollywood soundstage.

Where I come from, sweat socks are affectionately known as "jimmy-three-stripers or "jimmy 3's" for short. They must also be fully extended to qualify. I know, I know...nowhere near as clever as "drug rug" but my friends and I are not clever people and it's funny to US.ReplyDelete
The Sisters of Mercy were active from 1985 to 1990. The first and second album are very much worth the attention I'd say.ReplyDelete

Buying a gaming chair is an investment. And, not every other day you will be lucky enough to find a high-quality chair like setu chair at an affordable price and at the same time match the quality. Let no one lie to you; gaming chairs can be a little costly: which is why you need to be extra keen while purchasing for one. No one would be happy if a whole week's paycheck gets blown for nothing.
On top of paying attention to the comfort and support that the chair promises, you also need to be sure whether the chair will be able to serve you for a substantial duration of time without giving in. One more thing: it needs to be appealing to the eyes, which you would count on any gamer not to fail at. The following is a list of the most important things you need to assess before you decide to take a gaming chair home.
1. The height of the chair
Why is it so important? The height of your chair is everything when it comes to the comfort you should expect while you are gaming. A universal rule when it comes to the ideal height of a gaming chair is that: you should be able to touch the inner side of your desk while you are seated. When you get to the gaming chair store, you could ask the attendants to let you sit on it and do the test for you to establish whether it is perfect. Better still, you could get a chair that has adjustability features that will allow you to adjust the height until you reach your most preferred level of comfort.
2. Comfort
The second most important thing you should check when purchasing a gaming chair is the comfort it offers. Besides, comfort is one of the primary reasons that you are at the store anyway: so see to it that you remain objective. What discerns comfort? One is the type of materials used to make the chair. Chairs made of high-density material and genuine leather are suitable. Pure leather will even give your chair a soft finish and make it appear elegant. For the cushioning, a chair made of foam will provide you with much more comfort as opposed to ones made with other types of material. Make sure you are keen on that.
There is also an alternative to checking whether a chair is comfortable according to your standards: trying it out!
3. Flexibility
Flexibility has been used to refer to the ability of the chair to be adjusted. A good chair has an adjustable height and armrests and, tilt and recline function too. Having such functionality will give the chair the capacity to meet your needs. At the point of purchase you might feel that a chair is perfect only to get home and after hours of gaming, find that the armrests are too high.
Before you decide to sign the cheque, take some time to ensure that it is flexible enough to meet any emerging preferences.
4. Vibration system
The vibration system does a great job of heightening your gaming experience! Therefore, it is worth assessing it before you buy a chair. Is it what you want? The vibration feature should be on point and able to keep up with the changing gaming moods. For instance, it should be ready to kick in during that dramatic gaming moment.
However, note that this function is not necessarily present in all gaming chairs: some lack it. Therefore, if you prefer a chair with vibration function, look for one with that particular feature.
5. Design
It all comes down to personal senses, whereas one model could be appealing to one person, it may not impress you. For this reason, you are advised to settle for a chair that appeals to you. All manufacturers strive to come up with new designs every other day. It means that the design of the chair may have to be entirely up to you as an individual.
6. Support
Support is something that you should not gamble with! You have to make sure it is on point. If you are not careful, you might have to suffer long-term consequences. Remember that health experts always advise people against sitting long hours to avoid damaging their backs and also suffering other lifestyle illnesses. To be comfortable and to protect your lumbar area, you need a chair that gives you comfort and maximum support for the long hours that you will be seated. Ergonomic chairs would be more advisable in this case.
The mentioned are some of the most vital factors you need to evaluate before you take a chair home. That said, get your best pick and enjoy your gaming escapade!

Terrorist attack in South India possible, Army warns
Southern Army Commander Lieutenant General S K Saini warned South India of a possible terrorist attack after the Army received inputs regarding the same. He added that some abandoned boats have been recovered in the Sir Creek area - a 96 km tidal estuary on the border of India and Pakistan dividing Gujarat from Sindh province.
"We have inputs that there may be a terrorist attack in the southern part of India. Some abandoned boats have been recovered from Sir Creek. We're taking precautions to ensure that designs of inimical elements and terrorists are stalled," a news agency quoted Saini. Security has been tightened across Kerala and Tamil Nadu following the intelligence inputs and the Kerala Police chief has alerted all district police chiefs to maintain tight security in crowded places such as airports, bus stands, and railway stations, especially during the Onam celebrations on Wednesday.
"The northern most point of the Army's southern command includes some parts of Gujarat also. The word south from southern command GOC does not mean Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka only. It includes complete southern peninsula and parts of Gujarat," a defence spokesperson in Chennai reportedly said.

The longest battle scene on film right now is probably Helm's Deep in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. But the final season of Game of Thrones promises to beat that 40-minute epic with its episode-long battle at Winterfell where our heroes—"Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), and Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie)"—to name a few, band together to fend off the Army of the Dead.
To commit this battle to film, director Miguel Sapochnik, who previously helmed the big battle episodes "Hardhome" and "Battle of the Bastards", and his team put together "The Long Night", a grueling stretch of shooting days that tested everyone involved. EW has details on what went into the shoot, and it sounded like a grueling experience for both the cast and especially the crew:
The episode required 11 weeks of grueling night shoots. Imagine up to 750 people working all night long for nearly three months in the middle of open rural countryside: The temperatures are freezing in the low 30s; they're laboring in icy rain and piercing wind, thick, ankle-deep mud; reeking horse manure and choking smoke. The stars of Game of Thrones require some coaxing to get candid about their experience because nobody wants to sound like they're whinging (as The Hound would say). But if you spend even a brief time on set you realize staging the battle was unprecedentedly brutal…
To get periodic warmth, actors occasionally huddle around a space heater in a tent or duck inside the production's cramped, bare-bones trailers. But for the show's crew there is no relief. "I heard the crew was getting 40,000 steps a day on their pedometers," Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos Seaworth) says. "They're the f—king heroes." Sporadically, one of the crew members would get switched to the day shift where a different episode was being shot and you could instantly spot the gaunt, gray-faced battle episode workers. "It's like seeing Nosferatu coming in," Benioff says.
For Sapochnik, the trick to making the battle itself come together and avoid fatigue is, counterintuitively, less fighting. "It feels like the only way to really approach it properly is take every sequence and ask yourself: 'Why would I care to keep watching?'" says the British director between takes. "One thing I found is the less action — the less fighting — you can have in a sequence, the better."
Additionally, with so many different characters to focus on, you have to keep the timelines and motivations straight. So, for example, even if the camera isn't on Samwell Tarley (John Bradley), you still need Bradley to keep his motivation straight and think about what Sam is doing even when he isn't on the screen.
So why approach this battle scene with an epic 11-week shoot rather than breaking it up into smaller chunks like most action movies do? Sapochnik explains that in order to get the proper flow of the action, they couldn't afford to break it up:
"We built this massive new part of Winterfell and originally thought, 'We'll film this part here and this part there,' and basically broke it down into so many pieces it would be shot like a Marvel movie, with never any flow or improvisation," Sapochnik says. "Even on Star Wars, they build certain parts of the set and then add huge elements of green screen. And that makes sense. There's an efficiency to that. But I turned to the producers and said, 'I don't want to do 11 weeks of night shoots and no one else does. But if we don't we're going to lose what makes Game of Thrones cool and that is that it feels real.'"
The producers agreed. "When you have rapid cutting [in an action scene] you can tell it was all assembled in post-production," Benioff says. "That's not the show's style and it's not Miguel's style." So they approved a schedule that became infamously known among the team as "The Long Night."
It will be interesting to see how it all comes together. "Hardhome" is an excellent episode, but "Battle of the Bastards", despite being bigger, doesn't have the same punch. The action is muddled and the structure of the battle depends on Jon Snow's signature move, the Last Minute Save By Someone Else. It remains to be seen if the Battle of Winterfell is more "Hardhome" or more "Battle of the Bastards".
Game of Thrones returns for its final season on April 14th.

Stanford University
A memorable place to explore, Stanford University seems to whisk you away from the high-tech world into academia, but really you are right at the beginning of Silicon Valley!
Leland Stanford ran a general store for miners and earned good money after the Gold Rush in California. In 1885, he and his wife Jane founded Stanford University in honor of their son Leland Jr., who died of typhoid fever on a trip to Italy at the age of 15. With no other children of their own, Leland and Jane Stanford generously decided to give the gift of education to all the children of California. Stanford University was tuition-free until the 1920s! To explore Leland Stanford's story, plus an extensive art collection including a large collection of Rodin sculptures, visit the Cantor Arts Center at 328 Lomita Drive.
With an acceptance rate of about 5%, Stanford is one of the hardest schools in the world to get into these days. Whether your child makes it into Stanford one day or not, it is a beautiful place to visit.
Stanford is a great place to visit on a weekend with your family. My personal choice is to bring bikes to explore the beautiful campus atmosphere and experience nostalgic flashbacks of earlier university times. You can rent bikes on campus, or go to a college game or one of Stanford's free lectures. Start at the Main Quad and work your way around the campus.
Download the University's App to navigate your trip or take a free guided tour. Enjoy the atmosphere, have lunch and then browse the bookstore. Let me know if you find my book in there!

The League of Women Voters of Piedmont is pleased to announce that we are now forming groups to participate in the 2020 Great Decisions (GD) discussion program on global affairs sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association.
As those who have participated in years past know, GD is a series of eight meetings, lasting approximately two hours each, during which participants who have previously "read up" on "the topic of the week" (using the FPA-provided Briefing Book along with supplemental readings recommended by the FPA) will first watch a timely video regarding the topic and then engage in a lively discussion of that week's material.
The last several GD programs were a tremendous success, with roughly 60 purchasing the Briefing Book and the majority attending some or all of the meetings.
The subjects to be covered in the 2020 GD program are as follows:
- Climate Change and the Global Order
- India and Pakistan
- Red Sea Security
- Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking
- U.S. Relations with the Northern Triangle
- China's Road into Latin America
- The Philippines and the U.S.
- Artificial Intelligence and Data
Click here for more information on any topic.
Meetings will start the week of February 10th and will continue every other week thereafter until the final meeting on the week of May 19th. There are two separate meeting times as indicated below and you may attend either of the two meetings.
|Wednesdays, 7-9pm
|40 Highland Ave., Piedmont
|Thursdays, 1-3pm
|403 Highland Ave., Piedmont (Police Dept. Conference Room)

the effect of fatherlessness on young black women
With Father's Day having recently descended on the UK, we look at black fathers, their portrayal in the media and specifically the relationships they have with their daughters.
Father's Day cheer recently descended upon us in the UK. Perhaps you noticed the Tesco's Value greeting cards simply stating 'Happy Father's Day', or the more sophisticated, sentimental messages such as 'Dad, thanks for wiping my bum', and were overwhelmed with emotion. It's a time to express communal gratitude for the life lessons, emotional support and cash that fathers all over the world have doled out willingly and with love. A moment when men could be celebrated unreservedly without the stench of #metoo, our gaze resting in soft focus on the beautiful relationship between father and child.
And yet, Father's Day is not just an opportunity to raise pressing questions about Tesco's credibility as a stationers. It's not even just an opportunity to question whether men really need a whole day dedicated to their excellence. It's also prime time for public figures to roll out of bed and suggest that black men need to be better fathers.
This public discourse on the absent black father is both hugely inflated and woefully unexplored. Typically, a scenario is presented in which a high incidence of single parent families in the black community is linked with young black men committing knife and gang crime. And although this reads like a Daily Mail headline on any given Tuesday, it's also the story being told by respected black leaders in the UK and America. In 2010, David Lammy urged black fathers to be more involved with their children in order to tackle social problems, while in 2008 Obama jumped on the finger-pointing train when, in a Father's Day speech, he chastised those who have "abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men [making] the foundations of our community ... weaker because of it."
Missing from these throaty cries of moral panic is any investigation into the effects of parental engagement versus the structural racism that permeates our institutions. Miranda Armstrong, whose PhD research concentrates on black lone mothers and their sons, worries that, "single mothers have been scapegoated for a lot of issues that are systemic and structural".
"Single mothers have been scapegoated for a lot of issues that are systemic and structural." -- Miranda Armstrong.
Miranda suggests that the very idea of the 'absent' black father is a misnomer, as there is actually a spectrum of absence/presence, with many separated fathers involved in their children's lives to varying degrees. It's an oversight given as little attention as the question of how Lammy, Obama and the legion of other successful black males from single parent families managed to dodge the degenerate bullet. Yet, for me, the most bizarre omission from this discourse can only be the impact of single parenting on black girls. If absent fathers are turning their sons into amateur gun enthusiasts -- then where are the daughters in this scenario?
According to Race Equality Think Tank Runnymede, in the UK, 59% of black Caribbean and 44% of black African children grow up in single parent families, compared to 22% of the population overall. Given those statistics, it would be asinine to suggest that there isn't an issue. The problem is that the mainstream media seems wholly uninterested in exploring the nuances of the statistics or in hearing the female stories associated with the numbers. Employing fairly basic logic, we can assume that approximately half of the children in these black families are girls, yet the headlines consistently imply otherwise.
Joy Francis, executive director and founder of Words of Colour Productions, launched The Black Love Project in 2017 with Patsy Isles partly as a response to the lazy mainstream reporting on black relationships. "We needed to look at the source," says Francis, whose initiative seeks to challenge misconceptions on who black people are and how they love. "The absent father is one element of a more nuanced picture."
"We needed to look at the source. The absent father is one element of a more nuanced picture." -- Joy Francis, executive director and founder of Words of Colour Productions.
Joy sees the exclusion of girls as part of a wider issue in the UK where black females are not visible. "No one has taken the time to find out what we think and who we are," she says. While young black men and black fathers in the UK are unfairly scrutinised and lambasted publicly, black women and girls are conspicuously ignored. It's been argued that the reason behind this is that black women are not a strong enough 'stereotype target'. Typically, when the media are examining race, they are referring to black men and when they are exploring female issues the focus is on white women. Black women fall through the cracks because, on the one hand we are rarely participating in the crime and violence that titilates the tabloid reader, and on the other we are not viewed as attractive or feminine enough to trouble the Sidebar of Shame.
The scandal here lies not only in the ongoing damage that being unheard has on black women's sense of self-esteem and worth, but also in the vacuum it creates in understanding the dynamics of British society. When we are both estranged from our fathers and it's ignored as a problem, the double impact is that feelings of abandonment are internalised while the insidious experience of powerlessness is exacerbated. The very real, utterly varied outcomes of fatherlessness are not limited to the black community, however the phenomenon experienced by black girls is unique enough to warrant further investigation.
Black daughters are unceremoniously overlooked and/or positioned as too angry, too strong, too resilient to experience any suffering, while the fathers are grouped together as a collection of heartless reprobates with a penchant for gold chains. Peddling a one-dimensional portrait of the black father and his criminal sons is sloppy and embarrassing. Erasing all daughters from the equation is just as offensive too.

This is the 2019 all-mahogany tenor from Pono's Pro Classic line. This line offers professional-level instruments at reasonable prices and this is a perfect example of the quality and value.

Features include a perfectly quarter sawn Honduran mahogany body and neck, wood bindings, abalone rosette, a radius fretboard for a great feel, and includes the Pono arched top wooden hard case. The build quality is unparalleled in this price range and the voicing has just the right balance of warmth and clarity. Kris samples it with the stock Ko'olau Alohi High G set. This uke also sounds great with a Low G and you can choose that in the options at no extra charge.
The precision workmanship, attention to detail as well as skill level of Pono's top builders is among the best in the world. Experience the New Pono!
This tenor is displayed and protected by the cleanest gloss finish yet from Pono. This glassy lacquer finish is extremely strong yet just a few thousandths of an inch thick. This is the art of uninhibited protection. And they are continually improving their design. Some of the recent changes include finishing the neck and body separate for a more perfect neck joint. They also started making the necks on these models a satin finish with the body and faceplate being gloss. This gives your hand smooth sliding on the neck while still showing off the instrument in a beautiful gloss finish.
Pono only uses solid woods, only bone nut, and saddle. wood bindings, no plastics. They have a climate-controlled factory on the island of Java and diligently aim for perfection on every level. It shows!

BARBAR 2300 TITANIUM-IONIC FLAT IRON 1-1/2″ – Trying a new flat iron is like going on a first date; experience has taught you what you love, what you hate, and what you need. I've been using heat to straighten my hair on a semi-regular basis for the last five years, and I know exactly what I don't want: long styling times, scorching heat, clunky handling and lackluster results. What do I want? My dream flat iron is light, works quickly, and leaves my hair shiny and smooth in record time. Hello, BARBAR, I think I might love you.
The 1-1/2″ Titanium plates with ceramic heater are big enough to straighten quickly and effectively but still small enough to get to those tricky little face-framing hairs. Working in sections, I was able to straighten all of my thick, long hair in about 10 minutes with a fabulous outcome. The ion generating function left my hair soft and shiny. I love the quick adjusting temperature up to 450 degrees and digital display, and a swivel cord makes for easy maneuvering. Ionic ventilation holes make wet styling possible, but handle with care. By some weird force of habit I tend to grab the end of the flat iron with my free hand and definitely caught some steam coming from those holes. The BARBAR 2300 comes with a handy travel pouch befitting a flat iron that's designed for universal use with 100V-240V and temperature display in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The automatic shut-off setting is a godsend on absentminded mornings.
FINAL VERDICT – GGI (GOTTA GET IT) – At $165, the BARBAR 2300 is a great investment. I did the math, and between money saved on blowouts and time saved styling my hair, this flat iron quickly pays for itself.

Are you looking for the best fundraising idea? Of course you are. You want to raise as much money as possible for your organization and that requires that you find the best fundraising ideas and put them to good use. But is there really a 'best' fundraising idea?
It would be incredibly difficult to determine just one fund raiser idea that is the across the board best program for every single group. That is because there are just so many different kinds of groups raising money for so many different reasons, in different areas, with different demographics. But while all of those issues typically necessitate unique fundraising ideas, there are some basic criteria that every group looks for and those can help narrow down the search for the best fundraising ideas.
Every group, no matter their background or goals, wants fundraisers with high profits and easy to sell products that have been proven to be successful in the past. This usually means that they want at least 50% profit and free shipping and very little or even no cost to get started. When you break it down that way, it starts to look like there just might be a best fundraiser out there after all. In fact, Go Green Fundraising has a couple of programs that meet those criteria and that appeal to nearly every single group.
The first is our flower fundraising program. Flower bulbs are ridiculously popular around the country and that makes this one of the easiest selling fundraisers there is. This program is brochure based meaning it is free to start, we provide all of your brochures and order forms. We offer a flat 50% profit and even have free shipping for orders that meet the low minimum. We even guarantee that the bulbs will grow or we will replace them free of charge. Other than maybe a team of cage fighters, this fund raiser meets and even exceeds the expectations of groups that use it.
Our other 'best fundraising idea' is our Smencils fundraiser. It has been proven over time that a $1 product will sell better than anything else because it is so easy to get people to spend a dollar. And that is just the price these recycled newspaper, scented pencils sell for. Your group earns 50% profit and never pays for shipping.
Another fundraising idea that you may want to consider that isn't a fundraiser at all is our free fundraising thermometer. It is a great way to keep everyone up to date on the amount of money you have raised and how much more you need to bring in to reach your goals.
Call us at 877-448-9746 to get started on your best fundraiser today!
"Thank you for your great customer service- I very much appreciate it!!"
"It's refreshing to work with a company that recognizes how tired we are of "hard sell" tactics. We were looking for a fund raiser with useful products, a message of conservation, no nonsense organization and great follow through. We found it!! Thanks so much!"
"Thanks for all your assistance with our fundraiser. You
have really made this a great experience for us."
"Thank you for being so easy to work with on this fundraiser and I know who I will be contacting for future fundraisers : )"
