Diesel Unlimited D.5
Size: 5.5 inches x 54 ring gauge
In 1975, the legendary rock group Lynyrd Skynyrd released their third album, called Nuthin' Fancy. It was (and remains) an appropriate title. When compared to the band's other releases, this album was, frankly, not outstanding. The record contained eight cuts, of which only one, Saturday Night Special, remains memorable. However, for diehard fans of southern rock and boogie, it was still pretty special. I write all of this to help me characterize the Diesel Unlimited D.5. It is a good cigar (I am not overly criticizing it), but will certainly not make anyone's Top Ten list. In short, it is nuthin' fancy.
This vitola is a long, fat robusto sporting a thick, tough, dark-brown wrapper. The cold smell is of raisin or fresh chewing tobacco. My sample squeezes nicely. A punch-cut allows a free-flowing draw and plenty of smoke. The 45-minute burn proceeds evenly, and leaves a pale-gray ash with even segments. I would rate the construction score a 5 out of 5. The D.5 is put together very well, and performs admirably.
The Diesel Unlimited line is composed of Honduran ligero filler and wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder. This combination of tobaccos makes for a full-bodied cigar with little pretense of complexity – just pepper, leather, coffee and cedar right from the start. It is bold and brash, but not in a bad way. One would never use the words 'subtle' or 'nuanced' to describe the D.5. Some cigar enthusiasts might look down their noses at this cigar due to its in-your-face nature. Not me, though – I like it. However, because the cigar is not everybody's cup of tea, I will have to score the flavor 3 out of 5.
To sum up my review, the Diesel Unlimited D.5 is full-bodied, strongly flavored and well-constructed. Give it a total score of 8. At around $4, it represents a lot of bang for the buck, even if it is nuthin' fancy.

[media]http://youtu.be/ToqwW7OCNj8[/media]Some a-hole is putting motorcyclists lives in danger on Glendora Mountain Road east of Los Angeles, California. Dumping fresh oil in the middle of different curves across the deescalate mountain road. We need to find 'em and put an end to this. Here's how you can help.
These incidents have spurred social campaigns and multiple videos including the one below that shows good evidence that a red Chevrolet Suburban SUV is to blame.
See the video for yourself. It's pretty compelling that something fishy is afoot. Not only is there one video of the mysterious SUV, but a second, longer one as well. Check both to see for yourselves. Of course, there is too much oil to blame a leaky Chevy.
If you have any information, share it and let's help put a stop to this before some gets hurt or dies. The second video identifies the vehicle's license plate as 4SWC981. Get to work Internet, but don't screw it up.
Watch your asses, Los Angeles folks.

Document Type
anxiety and fear, online learning, research methods class, graduate students
Subject Area
Counselor Education
Two sections of research methods were offered to Master's level Counselor Education students during the same semester; one section was a traditional classroom setting and the second section was a web/hybrid course. Students were surveyed about their fears surrounding the academic requirements of a research methods course and fears about the type of instruction for the course at the beginning and at the end of the class. Data showed that students in the web-hybrid course indicated higher levels of fear than the students in the traditional classroom setting. Implications for counselor educators include normalizing the fear associated with the academic requirements of a research methods class and acknowledging the fear students may have about using an online learning platform.

Back from a lengthy hiatus to the Florida Keys, I have breaking news for everyone. There is a trap waiting for unsuspecting travelers on the Alligator Alley section of I-75. I have it on good authority that if one were to turn off on State Road 951 to get a bite to eat at the Cracker Barrel, one would find that you can't get there from there. Although the restaurant seems to be on 951, there is no access from 951, and if one were to continue around the block (it would seem), one would find oneself at the toll gate toward Ft. Lauderdale, the direction from which one just came. There, a nice man would say something like: "Lemme esplain you something You gotta go 20 miles to the nest exit to turn around. That will be three dollars toll please." The road designers are punishing you for your dumbness about how to get to the Cracker Barrel. Your sentence is 40 miles driving plus three dollars. I'm not revealing my sources on this scoop.
Yes, I was catching lobster in the Keys. Your editor and my friend, Bob Petcher, told you to put in your orders for lobster upon my return. All such orders have been reviewed and dealt with. Summarily. I suggest you place orders for gyro sandwiches directly with my ex-friend Bob next time he goes to Greece. I can't think of a better way to thank him for his suggestion.
On the car front, let's talk about towing a trailer, specifically a boat on a trailer, and what might happen during that little adventure. First the tires. Trailer tires are different from car tires. Don't use car tires. Trailer tires are stiffer and stronger. Second, trailer tires go bad from age whether they are used or not. If they are about five years old or so, inspect them for little cracks, known as "weather checking" on the tread and on the sidewalls. If you see those little spider-web-looking cracks forming, don't trust the tire. It will throw off the outer cosmetic layer of rubber, then the tread, then blow out, usually following a well-known procedure called "Murphy's Law," which means it will happen in heavy traffic during a blinding rainstorm on a section of road with no shoulder area to pull off on. When you finally pull off, congratulating yourself because you were smart enough to carry a spare trailer tire, that's when you discover the lug wrench for your towing vehicle doesn't fit the lug nuts on your trailer.
Remember that all of the lights on the trailer must work and the boat must be tied down to the trailer, to avoid a citation. I once saw a pick-up towing a large outboard boat that ran off the road into the mangroves. The truck stopped when it hit the trees, but the boat didn't stop until it sat on top of the cab of the pick-up. Always tie the bow of the boat with a line leading back on the trailer, to avoid that scenario.
Check the wheel bearings of the trailer by jacking the trailer up enough to spin each wheel by hand. Listen for rumbling noises. If you hear any, the bearings are bad and have to be replaced. Grab the tire and feel for any looseness on the bearings. There should be none. The bearings can be adjusted if there is any looseness. If you don't know how to do that, have it done professionally. If it's not done right, that wheel you might see rolling past you could be your own.
Yes, most of the above has happened to me, and no, Bob is not my ex-friend. He's a great guy, (just too generous with my stuff).

Mahtab Azimi, DDS
About Dr. Mahtab Azimi
After studying at RUTC College in London, Dr. Azimi relocated to the United States, where she received her BS in Biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. In 1991, she was awarded her DDS degree from New York University College of Dentistry, where she also completed her postgraduate training in periodontics and implant surgery.
A Diplomate of the American Academy of Periodontology and a Clinical Associate Professor in Periodontics at NYU College of Dentistry, Dr. Azimi is an active member of the American Academy of Periodontology and the Northeastern Society of Periodontics. She keeps up-to-date on the latest techniques in advanced periodontal treatments by regularly attending courses and seminars on implants, cosmetic surgery, sinus grafting procedures, bone regeneration, augmentation, and reconstruction.
Dr. Azimi's primary goal is to ensure the health and comfort of her patients. After a thorough initial interview with her patients, she conducts a comprehensive clinical and radiographic examination using digital radiographic imaging for the most accurate results. Dr. Azimi is a firm believer that prevention is the best form of medicine and always takes extra time to educate her patients on correct oral hygiene in order to circumvent the possibility of future dental problems.
Other Dental Treatments at Sutton PDA
Dr. Azimi was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. Found a couple things going on that my old dentist missed, so she's going to take care of those for me! Great overall experience, I will continue to see her.
Dr. Azimi was wonderful. I have put off going to the dentist for a while, mostly because of anxiety with dentist visits. Dr. Azimi was warm, comforting, and confident. I was very comfortable with her and so glad I found her!
Dr. Azimi is bar none the best periodontist in the city. Fantastic bedside manner. I was Terrified and she saved my teeth and my implant. Great doctor and saved me money. Front desk is excellent. Highly highly recommend Dr. Azimi and the entire practice.
Dr. Azimi is sweet, caring an excellent dentist. The staff is wonderful! I highly recommend Dr. Azimi and her office!
She cuts to the chase and is very comprehensive with her medical care. Took extra time to discuss related health issues.
I hadn't seen a dentist for many years. I found this office great from the receptionists to the hygienist and Dr Azimi. A painless route back into better dental habits.

A new clinical trial has commenced at the Wesley Hospital, investigating the use of Tranexamic Acid in total knee replacements with the goal of improving recovery times and reducing blood loss during and after the procedure.
Total joint arthroplasty can be associated with major blood loss and require subsequent blood transfusions for postoperative anaemia. It is important to research and understand ways to effectively and safely decrease blood loss and reduce the need for blood transfusions. The result of which would help improve patient outcomes and lower health care costs.
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a medication used to treat or prevent excessive blood loss from major trauma, surgery, tooth removal, and a myriad of other procedures and applications. In this trial, we are investigating a newly developed dosage algorithm for TXA.
Anaesthetist Dr Sue Clark, the Principal Investigator of the study explains, "We do currently understand that with the use of this drug, patients can experience less pain and less bleeding after a total knee replacement surgery, however, there has been no definitive data that shows the ideal dosage and for how long patients should be receiving this drug to optimise their recovery."
To deliver conclusive data on the use of Tranexamic Acid throughout a patient's care is an exercise in collaboration.
"We've brought the whole team on this journey." stated Dr Sue Clark. "From the preadmission nurses, through to the theatre nurses, surgeons, recovery staff, ward nurses, as well as the physiotherapists and allied health professionals. Because of this collaboration, we'll get an answer that will give our patients the very best outcome from their surgery."
At the conclusion of this study, this new algorithm will help to define exactly the right way to use Tranexamic Acid to ensure patients undergoing a Total Knee Arthroplasty have the best outcomes. These patients will have less pain, less bleeding, and get back to work and life much faster.

I can assure you, my voice is not hollow and stuck up.
Once upon a time, Bob saw a chicken.
:-) ~:>
"AWWWWW!" he cried. "How cute!"
Bob's mom and dad were very stern.
:-( :-(
"Chickens are filthy!" cried his mom. She had a hollow, stuck-up voice, and she talked like she was in an opera.
She hadn't even looked at the chicken.
"They take mud baths!" said his dad. He talked in only one note: a low C.
"Uhh, so do I, dear. It's good for your skin. Soooo… these chickens take… healthy baths?"
:-( :-o :-) ~:>
"I guess…" said Bob in a sing-songy voice, hoping his mom was caving in.
"Oh, how… smart, they are. Oh, they are kind of cute… in a way… you know… I wouldn't mind one… in fact… I'd even, maybe like one…"
The dad, though, was still unhappy.
:-( :-) :-) ~:>
"It would get in the way of my cooking! Getting feathers in my mushrooms and eggs, which I loooooooooooove."
"Dad! Chickens lay eggs!"
"They do?" his dad asked suddenly in a high C.
:-o :-) :-) ~:>
"LET'S GET THAT CHICKEN!" cried the family. So they bought it.
They lived in harmony, happily ever after.

She did.
I suggested adding "in harmony" in the last line to tie-in the music theme she had going and to which she immediately agreed. I then suggested replacing two exclamation points (at the end of the first and third sentences) with periods. She needed to be convinced about that suggestion.
She hasn't gotten to the part about "don't use foreign words" in TAoF yet. Me neither.

HUNTINGTON BEACH (CBSLA.com) — A popular Orange County-based retailer has come under fire for selling pot-themed clothing following complaints from a Huntington Beach parent organization.
Tilly's Clothing, which offers surf- and skate-style clothing for teens, sparked outrage among members of Youth Matters, a subcommittee of Edison High School's PTSA, for offering tops, swimsuits and other merchandise with marijuana imagery.
Among the items that has raised the ire of some parents: a Snoop Dogg-branded pair of women's leggings that prominently features green marijuana leaves over a black stretch material.
Kim Greene, chairwoman for Youth Matters, launched a letter-writing campaign in February, calling on company officials to "consider removing drug related merchandise from your stores so that the customers who don't care to endorse that lifestyle can continue to shop at Tilly's."

Yesterday, I watched my first two PBA games at "The Big Dome", the Smart Araneta Coliseum. I was already in the Cubao area since the afternoon since I was with my family who also bought some things there. So once the sun came down and minutes from tip-off. I went around the outside of the Big Dome and noticed some changes that have been happening. Gone was the old blue and yellow paint job on the outside. It was being painted white and glass was being installed on the exterior of the arena. Then at around 6pm, my friend from high school together with his little brother who had my tickets to the game arrived. Then we went inside The Big Dome for the double-header. It was also my first time watching a game at the Big Dome on Patron seats in the five times I've witnessed an event at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Later, my friend's classmate arrived at the Big Dome as he was also invited by my friend to watch the game.
Both games were a treat. The first game was between the Air21 Express and the GlobalPort Batang Pier. Well, it was an up and down ballgame with the Batang Pier dominating the first half. However, the Express would come alive in the second half with hot shooting from their import Michael Dunigan as well as their local playerslike KG Canaleta and Mike Cortez as they defeat the Batang Pier 87-72. Unfortunately, I was unable to take photos from these games because I had to save my camera's battery for the Main Event of the night.
It was the best team in the PBA this conference Alaska Aces going up against the SanMig Coffee Mixers. Well the "man of the moment" was San Mig Coffee star James Yap who has been in the news, not because of his on-court brilliance but of something personal he's going through. I won't go further into the details in this blog entry, since we're all about basketball in this entry. Anyway, from tip-off it was an up and down game between these two competitive teams. Neither team did not waver all game long as both teams traded baskets and tough defense in a slow-paced game where both teams run the triangle on almost every play. For James Yap, it was an off game for him and it had something to do with the fact his personal troubles are getting the better of him. Both imports Denzel Bowles of San Mig Coffee and Rob Dozier of Alaska had a great battle inside. Alaska's star rookie Calvin Abueva had a monster game despite the jeers he got all game long by the strong San Mig Coffee Planet in attendance at the Big Dome. In the end game, we were witness to one of the most craziest sequences of basketball I have seen in my life. Well here's what happened. It was 84-83 with the Mixers leading the Aces. Calvin Abueva was fouled on his way to the basket thus giving him two free throwsand a chance to give Alaska the lead. He would miss his first free throw, then when he was about to attempt his second free throw. Both backcourt players of Alaska and San Mig Coffee were called for lane violation thus resulting in a jump-ball. The Aces won the tip with enough time to go for the win. Abueva droved to the basket and missed the shot, then the Aces got the rebound and sent it back to Cyrus Baguio who attempted a wide-open shot for three, but the shot missed at the buzzer and the Mixers would escape with the victory over the Aces.

If you run a retail business, setting your retails to look unique but feel convenient is quite necessary. Your retails are where your customers come. They must judge how your retails look based on the interior. When you come to some retails that belong to other business owners, you see that some retails look just great. It feels like that they try to turn their retails to look unique so that people will easily remember the identity of the brand. Here if your business is considered new, creating brand awareness of your business really matters. This is why some business even hires a professional interior design team such as interior painting woodstock to make their retails unique and cosy http://www.onemanandabrush.com.
There are some elements that you have to concern when you are about to set an interior concept for your retail. For instance, first of all, you must try to figure out the number of spaces in your retail. In this case, there are two types of spaces that you have to understand. Those types include positive space and negative space. Positive space is purposed to contain some objects while negative space is usually left empty or lack of objects.
Deciding to hire a professional interior design team for your retails is likely to be such a good idea. In fact, a professional interior design team usually has a number of breakthrough ideas that will make your retail to look unique but very functional. If you try to set the interior of your retails on your own, you probably tend to follow some brands around you. Conversely, if you hire a professional interior design, there is a possibility for you to find some interior design ideas that possibly blow your mind. Some mind-blown interior designs are quite helpful to make people to easily remember your business identity.

Report: Redskins saying no to Trent Williams trade talks
The Trent Williams Saga rolls on.
As the standoff between the Washington Redskins and one of their top offensive players continues, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday night the team isn't listening to any trade offers for the multi-time Pro Bowl tackle.
Washington has told multiple teams this summer it is not trading 7-time Pro Bowl OT Trent Williams, per sources. Williams has held out of camp, but Washington hasn't flinched. Teams repeatedly have called about Williams, teams have inquired, and so far, teams have been rebuffed.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 13, 2019
Schefter later suggested a first-round and sixth-round draft pick could likely get the Williams deal done.
NBC Sports Washington's JP Finlay reported Tuesday morning "three teams have been actively pursuing" Williams, with the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots the team most heavily chasing him.

And a league source told Finlay the Pro Bowl tackle won't be with the Redskins by Labor Day.
The Fan's Craig Hoffman reported earlier this month Williams is telling friends he's prepared to sit out the season after The Washington Post reported the tackle had demanded a trade and when rebuffed asked for an improved contract. (Williams has been missing from action since he skipped mandatory minicamp.)
Redskins head coach Jay Gruden when asked about those reports in August if the team would trade Williams, said, "I would seriously doubt that. So, no."

"I do not have an understanding on what it would take to get him back here. If I did, he'd be back here," Gruden said about what it might take to bring Williams back to the fold.
But according to Radio.com Sports Insider Jason La Canfora, the trade is only a matter of time.
Trent Willliams will be traded. Only a matter of time— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) August 13, 2019
Earlier this offseason La Canfora told Chad Dukes part of the reason for the holdout was a loss of trust between Williams and the organization.
"This is about his medical situation and his lack of trust in the organization and feeling it wasn't handled properly and telling other teammates about it and feeling that that trust has been broken with the front office and with the medical team," La Canfora said.
The Redskins, for their part, have sounded a united front in the media with coaches and executives reading from the same hymn sheet on Williams.
At the start of training camp, team president Bruce Allen said, "Trent has explained his position to me and we'll see what happens, but right now we have to focus on the guys who are here," Allen said, days after laughing off reports he would not report.
For now, the saga continues with no end in sight.

"What do we see in the summer night?
Ten flashing fireflies burning bright!
Catch the one twinkling there
Like a star.
One flashing firefly in our jar."
One of my favorite childhood memories is sitting on my grandmother's porch at dusk waiting for the fireflies. Some nights all of the cousins would happily run around and try to catch them other nights we would lazily watch as in unison they seemed to float into the tree tops.
Ten Flashing Fireflies by Philemon Sturges beautifully depicts this summer ritual in an imaginative counting book that is the story of a brother and sister catching and counting fireflies then releasing them back into the night.
Teaching Tip
Counting seems such a simple concept from our adult perspective, but for the young child learning to count can be a daunting task. For starters they must learn the number names and the counting sequence, then it gets more complicated with concepts such as cardinality (knowing that the last number said identifies the total number of objects in a group) and stability (knowing that rearranging the position of objects in a group does not change the cardinality). To help youngsters master these complex mathematical ideas we must give them many opportunities to count. Reading books such as Ten Flashing Fireflies can help. Luckily, children often like books read to them over and over again, so each time we read with them we can ask questions that help them learn to count. First, have them count along with the characters. Then, ask them to predict what comes next. For example, when the children have three fireflies in their jar then catch one more ask how many fireflies are now in the jar. Have objects available such as beans, pennies or some other small item and have children use them to represent the fireflies. They can add a bean to a jar (or pile) each time another firefly is captured. After reading they can count the objects again and again.
What other ideas might you have for using Ten Flashing Fireflies to teach basic counting concepts?

The math is in, and we are out. But any Isles fan could have told you that two months ago. In a season derailed by a record number of injuries and illnesses, this outcome was nearly inevitable.
But let's not lose hope.
I know, it's getting a bit old, and I wonder if this fanbase can take much more of these seasons, but we must not let the result of this season affect our attitude towards next year; there are a few good reasons to look towards next year.
- Kyle Okposo
His debut this year has not disappointed. He showed some jitters, but he showed that he can take his skills to the next level. With increased ice time, he will gain experience. I'm really excited to see Kyle develop because he's likely to be the best scorer we will have unless we make some serious moves. He said recently that he needs to be stronger, and he's right, but he has all summer to reflect on his NHL debut and to get ready for next year. In short: look out. And the fact that he's younger than I am in no way makes me feel lazy and old...
- Existing depth
This year, we saw just how deep our current roster is on many occasions. While many problems for this year's Islanders originated from the lack of scoring, the team had 10 players chipping in 20 or more points. Compared to most teams, this is definitely on-par. The problem simply lied in lack of a one or two leading scorers. But we did see players like Josef Vasicek, Richard Park, and Trent Hunter fill important roles on the roster. We also saw players like Sean Bergenheim and Bruno Gervais come into their own, and you can expect these players to really step up next year.
- New youth
The silver lining of the long injury list is the massive amount of experience the team was able to give to the young players. AHL call-ups Jeff Tambellini and Blake Comeau, as well as Tim Jackman and Aaron Johnson have seen received invaluable experience, and should bring a lot more to training camp next September than in past years. As veterans like Mike Sillinger and Bill Guerin near retirement, it appears that the Islanders will have skilled and experienced youth at the ready.
- The draft
Of course, here it is. The most obvious benefit of having a terrible season: an excellent draft position. And by all accounts, this year's draft is going to be great. There is an abundance of talent both at forward and at the blue line. And let's face it: we desperately need some at both. It would serve the team wonders if Garth could trade out some of those stockpiled late round picks - and possibly other options - for another first rounder. No need to worry, though. The Islanders are guaranteed a great addition to the team this year.
But just like the Islanders, I was able to find highlights in a otherwise bleak ending. And my two hockey loves intersect, for once.
BU's rookie forward Colin Wilson showed the Hockey East what a real playmaker can do. His shifts were punctuated with quick transitions, big hits, and quality scoring chances. He literally controlled the play when he held the puck, and his creativity was worth the price of admission on many occasions.
He is eligible for this year's NHL entry draft, and is currently ranked 9th on the International Scouting Service's top ten prospect list. If the draft follows this ranking, the Islanders should be in prime position to select Wilson.
You know what I'm getting at. GET THIS GUY.
He would be a perfect fit on the team the Isles are trying to build. Wilson wold perfectly compliment Okposo's hustle, and could fill a necessary role at center. Of course, I'm saying this based on seeing his play this season, but that doesn't make it any less true. That is, it's possible there are better fits this year, but from what I've seen, Wilson would blow this team away.
So the team is giving it's best shot to get everything it can out of a failed season. Call up the youth and let 'em skate. Let's see what we have in stock, and plan our future from there. Let's go into the offseason with our heads up and our hopes high. Just once more, we can get excited for a building team. ... I nearly said "re-building" team, but... it seems the team doesn't really have a model team to build up from.
We can look forward to a solid draft, and a more experienced GM going into the free agency period. To the Islanders, thanks for the effort this year, and you can I'll be there next year.
Thanks for reading,

By VILLEM MAHERSTEIN
September 15, 2016 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org – This is the first of two companion articles, we suggest you devote some attention to both as they contain invaluable advice. The second in this series is a more wide ranging discussion including tactics.
That said, having noted on some conservative websites suggestions as to what they call "the best self-defense handguns," and finding the advertising driven presentation offering weapons which are clearly absurd, we decided to approach the subject a little more comprehensively and in a way that is both respectful to the reader as well as the gravity of the political situation which demands our attention to the matter in the first place.
We consider it dogma that regardless of how the November 8 election turns out, that in its aftermath chances are extremely high that there will be a greater or lesser degree of civil strife. If Hillary manages to stay alive for the next 60 days and wins, her radical policies will eventually cause some form of insurrection. If Mr. Trump however, manages to pull off the triumph which now seems within his grasp, the left will go batshit crazy and the stuff will hit the fan in ways that peaceful citizens will find alarming.
Our "list" will be more appropriate and shorter than what we have seen bandied about on other venues, mostly because the author actually knows what he is talking about, a claim about which you will simply have to grant me the benefit of the doubt.
In consideration of simplicity we have chosen to present this information formatted in a numbered list, since writing a bunch of prose to support the basic suggestions might tend to cloud these serious matters.
Before we get started please understand that having your weapon[s] at the ready is really non-negotiable, there's no use in owning them if you can't very quickly have access.
Caveat: mixing children in a household with firearms requires extreme care and constant vigilance, though it is easily managed if prudence becomes the watchword. Forget about trigger locks - throw them away - your weapon must be ready to go "right now" but only when it is fully under your control at all times, meaning the firearm is never left unattended, ever.
That not being the case it should be locked up in a suitable gun safe that is childproof. It doesn't have to be big or fancy but it absolutely has to ensure that junior will never be able to have access to it without your intense supervision. The safe should be sturdy enough to prevent theft should there be a break in and unwieldy enough to prevent a perp from merely walking away with it. Even a small safe securely attached to the floor joists or wall studs will do. If you don't have the expertise, find a trusted party to do the work.
The first order of business? Join the NRA; don't ask questions, just do it. The organization is freedom's lifeline for without the right to keep and bear arms one becomes a subject, then a slave.
1. Perhaps most importantly, EVERY American citizen should possess at least one serviceable firearm, along with the skill necessary to help protect kith and kin. If all hell breaks loose, calling 911 will not do you any good and law enforcement [we love them] will be unable to render assistance. If you neighborhood comes under attack by thugs, terrorists or hooligans and you don't have a firearm, forget about 911, just cut out the middle man and call the county coroner.
2. We will assume three basic level of firearms familiarity, the first comprised of total newbies or sometimes those maybe with only rudimentary hardware accompanied by a very marginal competence in its use. This includes many women, who have special problems in the area of self defense given they are generally physically weaker than men.
Women must understand that in the real world they will be targeted out of proportion in any kind of civil disturbance in numbers far above their statistical presence in population demographics…perps are usually males and perps…well you can fill in the blanks.
In the midst of civil unrest or a criminal home invasion, though we hate to say this, women will become sexually objectified far beyond what they are currently. Look to the Euro rape epidemic caused by Muslim male refugees if you doubt that statement.
Gals, unfortunately the truth is nasty, don't become a statistic, fight back, a firearm responsibly handled is the great equalizer; as the old saying goes "God created man but Samuel Colt made them equal." Repeat; if you must go down during the fight, take as many of them with you as possible.
3. The second level of user would include those with better than a modicum of familiarity with firearms. Many of these people already understand the basics though they might not have fired a weapon in a very long time, meaning that their general competency will be poor, especially under stress.
4. The third level will be individuals who regularly use firearms. These might include ex-military/law enforcement, serious hunters, competition shooters or simply firearm aficionados who like to target shoot and visit the range often, are safe, courteous and better than average marksmen and women.
5. Personal defense using firearms is a very complex matter, but we will try to simplify it a bit, as follows.
6. In our opinion the basic home defense weapons include a handgun for use during "in your face" confrontations and under the best of circumstances, at least one long gun [a rifle, shotgun or both] for keeping predators at bay, thus establishing some sort of defensible perimeter around your domicile.
7. Since any tool is useless without the ability to use it safely and in accordance with the laws dealing with the use of lethal force, some sort of training and research is absolutely required. It's your responsibility to make this happen and it's imperative that you spend some range time to gain a minimum level of competency. Using the Internet it should be easy enough to find a certified NRA instructor.
8. Ok, for the total newbies, in the handgun department we recommend a .22 caliber long rifle [22 LR, the basic ".22"] revolver, the higher the quality the better, our preference being Smith and Wesson, though there are numerous other, less expensive choices. This choice might offend the closet Rambos but there is no way for most inexperienced shooters to safely handle semi-automatic or very powerful handguns. Too many considerations, recoil, a plethora of buzzers, whistles, numerous dos and don'ts, the inability to easily determine if the weapon is hot [loaded round in chamber], how to quickly reload using magazines and how to clear the inevitable jams. It's just information overload. I know this from much personal experience having provided basic training in handguns to many women, whom parenthetically, tend to be excellent students, not having to deal with testosterone induced foolishness.
9. It is not necessary to be able to hit a fly at 25 yards, one should concentrate on being able to place most shots into a circle about the size of a paper plate at a range of about 5-8 yards or so…again these are close up weapons. Despite the hooting we can already hear from the macho crowd out there, one does not need a handgun firing a large center fire cartridge to protect yourself. A couple of .22 LR rounds placed in the "A" zone [the center of the chest] or better in the head [the trend towards body armor dictating that] will dissuade all but the most determined assailant. Shot placement counts and one in the face will drop a perp like the ton of crap that he is.
10. The choice of a long gun for a newbie is fraught with problems since rifles are generally more difficult to master for many people. Stuff has to be manipulated; the butt of the rifle/shotgun has to be firmly placed correctly into the shoulder joint etc. So this will require some experimentation and perhaps a long gun will not be appropriate for everyone who falls into this category. If the will is there however we strongly recommend a combat type shotgun, in 20 gauge - avoid like the plague 12 gauges, the recoil is far too much for many people. In this category we recommend a short barreled [20" for maneuverability] Mossberg semi auto 20 gauge as being the best compromise. They are inexpensive and fairly easy to master WITH some assistance. Remember, semi-autos are an entirely different beast than manually operated firearms. Bonus, the gas operated mechanism that makes these things work tends to soak up some of the recoil and the next round is automatically placed in chamber as the used on is expelled. We suggest using the lightest target load available, you will have to consult with your ammo supplier for advice here. Again, u want to limit the fear factor caused by excessive recoil, you should never be afraid of your firearm, that's a prescription for disaster in the same vein as using power tools that frighten you.
12. Now for the more experienced among you, I am sure you already have your predispositions, but please listen me out.
Your handgun should be something on the order of a Glock 17 [the choice of most police departments], with many magazines [sometimes incorrectly called "clips"]. If legal in your jurisdiction high capacity 15 round mags are the only way to go. If not 10 rounders are fine. Choosing Glock is an easy decision, because they are beyond tough and more than accurate enough, I have way more than 25k rounds through my .40 caliber Glock model 22 competition pistol and it's still going strong [actually it is within arm's reach] having had only 2 broken parts over that period of rough competition usage [dropped, kicked and generally knocked around] which were easily replaced. That's as good as it gets when it comes to any kind of tool with a lot of moving parts. If you prefer SIG or Springfield or Colt be my guest, they will all do the job. If you are at this level then there are dozens upon dozens of suitable candidates, so just arm up.
Yes we know there are a lot of other choices as to cartridge, but 9mm technology in defensive ammo configuration, has come a very, very long way over the last 5 years or so which makes the round entirely satisfactory in a defensive role and since it has become kind of the default selection, practice ammo is cheap and the more you practice the better you will get so the cost of ammo is important.
The other choice would be the now 100 year old brilliant design of John Browning, the 1911 .45 caliber pistol. This is more an expert type weapon. It takes time to master it, but that big bullet will do things that no other common round will. The only difficulty with the 1911 is that magazines tend to top out at about 8 rounds, half the fire power of a Glock or Smith and Wesson M&P pistol [which are very similar]. The choice is yours. Personally I prefer the Glock for combat type applications and the 1911 for precision work as they tend to be more accurate.
13. Revisiting shotguns, even experienced shooter will quite often be better served with 20 gauge rather than with the bigger gun. Simply trust me on this, most men cannot handle the recoil of a big 12 with high velocity, heavy shot charges with any degree of dexterity. Additionally the 20 hits with nearly the same authority, so why beat yourself up in some mock display of manliness?
14. As to the high capacity semi auto, high power ["black" AR type] rifles, the kind that send lefties into seizures we counsel that if they are legal in your jurisdiction and if you are willing to put in considerable time, effort and money, go for it. Civilian battle rifles are called that for a reason, why be under-gunned when facing a bad guy with an AK? But don't be mistaken they are not home defense weapons, they are entirely too powerful - even the seemingly tiny .223 bullet will easily penetrate numerous walls before exiting your home and then striking goodness knows what. Don't go there, this is a perimeter type weapon meant to engage in serious combat or establish a safety zone, hopefully along with similarly motivated neighbors. Such tactics are well beyond the intent of this piece.
Regarding the leftist epithets tossed at this class of weapon, remember the Kentucky long rifles that the Colonists used with deadly precision to defeat the Brits were the assault weapons of the day even though they were interminably slow to reload, finicky as to weather conditions [black powder and water don't mix well] and of limited range.
Just for your information, a genuine assault rifle is a machine gun [think a Heckler and Koch MP5] and generally entirely off limits to civilians. Even if one does live in a state where they are permitted, and AFTER you have completed the necessary BATF paperwork along with paying the "tax.", good used weapons will set you back a minimum of $25-30,000 bucks. Suggestion, forget it; they are of very limited use in any kind of scenario we can imagine outside of military service.
Regardless, the principle remains the same, in a life threatening confrontation your job is to kill the bad guy and a modern rifle of this type will do the job if you do yours, but again this type of weapon is specialized and requires a level of dedication to master.
Now Marxist states such as California have made owning these types of weapons impossible so people [with the necessary skills and training] will have to rely on their own common sense in determining how to respond to what are obviously abridgments to the Second Amendment. Semi auto hunting rifles will fill the bill but not provide nearly the same firepower. In that case one might consider a lever action Marlin, Winchester or any of the imported replicas chambered in a pistol round which would provide a decent reserve of ammo at the ready. These are actually great weapons, just avoid rifle cartridges such as the 30-30, they are too powerful for use in residential areas and still carry quite a bit of recoil since lever guns are so light.
15. Next to last point you need ammunition - lots of it - because without it you have a club of limited effectiveness. If you have gone the .22 pistol route, great, but be advised that .22s by their very nature are kind of persnickety, but much less so in a revolver than a semi auto. Buy a couple boxes of ammo to make sure u have a combination that works and works every time u pull the trigger.
16. Final point, how much ammo do u need. We recommend at absolute bare minimum at 500 rounds for every weapon, shotguns excepted where a case of 250 might suffice [we still strongly prefer the minimum of 500]. This is your basic stock, your stash and you will need to purchase more than this for the numerous practice sessions required to become competent. We suggest you regularly purchase ammo, you never know when it will become unavailable and if the social structure starts looking creaky don't get caught short. There are periodic ammo shortages, something to be very aware of. If you can afford 1,000 rounds for each weapon you are starting to get into the correct mindset.
For ammunition don't pay retail store list prices, we suggest using an Internet source such as www.midwayusa.com one of the most reputable companies in the field, which will provide expert tech assistance free, just ask for it. It's a huge but family run business and has contributed millions to the NRA and other firearms related organizations and programs.
One more word about ammunition, which is very important. It comes in a withering array of configurations, bullet type/design, weight of the projectile and velocities.
There is inexpensive practice ammo and then there is the good stuff, which is reserved for self defense. There's a huge difference. For practice buy in bulk but when things turn ugly use what law enforcement uses, Federal brand Hydra Shoks or Speer Gold Dots, there are others, again ask your supplier but don't skimp here and by all means occasionally shoot a box of the good stuff, it will likely be loaded a little hotter than range fodder and it's good to know what will happen if you ever have to pull the trigger in a real-time defensive situation. For "simple" home defense the good stuff is what you must absolutely use and the ammo that should be in all of your weapons. In an extended emergency, ammo is ammo, load up, say your prayers and become a lion.
Yes the investment in time and money is substantial, but keep in mind that ultimately it's your responsibility to protect your family, how much are their lives worth?

Lorne Merthie is a 25 year old 187cm guard from Sanford, Florida that finished his college basketball career at Campbell(NCAA)in 2012. He played a total of 106 NCAA games and as a senior played 23 games: 8.4ppg, 2.0rpg, 2.0apg, FGP: 33.3%, 3PT: 39.4%, FT: 79.3%. He recently played as a professional for South Florida Spartans (CBL). He spoke to German Hoops about basketball.
Lorne thanks for talking some time to talk to German Hoops. Where are you at the moment and what is your main basketball goal this summer?
At this moment I'm currently working and working out & playing in Men's league. My main goal this summer is to sign a contract and play overseas.
After graduating from Campbell(NCAA) in 2012, you did not get a professional basketball job until the South Florida Spartans (CBL) last year. How rough were the last years always following your dream, but not being where you wanted to be?
It was rough the first couple of years not landing a job after college, but I just continued working on my game and praying until the day comes and it works out.
As a player that has been looking and looking do you get a sense that there could simply be too many basketball jobs out there or haven´t you been looking well enough?
To be honest I think there are a lot of basketball jobs out there, but I feel like it's all about who you know and being in the right situation at the right time.
Last season you played for the South Florida Spartans (CBL). What kind of experience was it playing semi pro ball?
The experience was okay, for the first year playing semi-pro ball. I feel like after playing that season. I can play on another level or overseas.
How important was it getting your feet wet again and competiting even if it was with grown men instead of boys in the NCAA?
It was real important to get my feet wet again and competiting at a high level again. It felt like old times in college.
After having this experience with the South Florida Spartans (CBL) does it give you the feeling that you can play at a higher level possibly even in Europe?
Yes!!! Most definitely. The experience playing with the Spartans was good, personally I feel like I can play at a higher level and in Europe.
What stories have you heard of European level basketball? Do you have any friends playing over in Europe?
I haven't really heard any stories about the European level basketball. Yes I have a couple friends playing in Europe.
You played at Campbell(NCAA) from 2008-2012. You shot nearly 40% each season in college and had decent stats. Is it still a mystery to you why you didn´t get an opportunity with some team in the world?
That's a good question, because I always ask myself that question all the time. When I came out of college, I did not have representation. I believe if I had representation that would of helped me a lot. I have been networking myself and attending camps.
How did head coach Robbie Laing help you become a better player at Campbell and prepare you best for a professional basketball career?
Coach Laing helped me become a better player on and off the court. He always pushed me to better. He showed me a lot that I didn't know about the game. Also in regards to conducting myself in a professional manner.
How do you feel have you improved your game since coming out of school in 2012?
I have improved my game a lot since college. I improved on decision making, coming off screen and rolls and reading the defense.
If you could describe your game and as to why you could be an asset to any team what words would you come up with?
I am a playmaker, a scorer, a shooter, a good defender, and I play every game like its my last. I'm good coming off pick n roll.
Your ex teammate Trey Freeman went to ODU and had a great season there last season. What memories do you have of his game and who won a one on one in practice then?
Memories I remember having with "trey game" is that he always knew where I was at on the court. I would always win in one on one. He won a couple of times, but overall we just made each other better at the end of the day.
Who was the best player that you battled against in the NCAA that is in the NBA right now?
The best player I battled against was Jrue Holiday.
How does a summer work out plan look like for you on and off the court in 2015?
My summer work out plan for this summer looks like a couple of camps and just working out & on my game. Just waiting on my time to come.
What do the Orlando Magic have to do to become a playoff team next season?
The Orlando Magic have to go get a super star and surround him with the nice young talent they currently have.
What was the last DVD movie that you saw?
Above the Rim.
Thanks Lorne for the chat.

Password problems with Linunx Ubuntu setup
September 18, 2018
I try to install a Linux Ubuntu Server at my virtual machine on my pc. The problem is that when I enter a password then it always says that password and password verification are not the same. I typed very carefully and it is the same. Somehow the system detects a difference. I don't know what is wrong there.
Don't use the num block
September 18, 2018
I had the same issue. In my case, the problem had something to do with the number block. I retried it without the number block of my keyboard and it worked again. I checked also the num look but somehow it did not work at all. I just used the normal numbers of the keyboard and it worked again.

Chapter XIX: Study is the 19th chapter of The Testaments. It contains section 52 with Aunt Lydia as narrator.
Section 52Edit
(Ardua Hall) Lydia notes that Commander Judd's wife is looking ill. She goes to speak with him and offers to have her treated, which he takes as a sign that Lydia will get rid of Shunammite for him. Lydia also asks him to prevent anyone from interrogating Nicole. He agrees.
Lydia notes that she is at a crossroads. She could hand over her manuscript to Nicole and hope that it helps to topple Gilead. She would be a traitor and live (or more likely, die) in infamy. Alternatively, she could take the easy route and hand over Nicole. In doing so, her legacy would be secure.

Despite the dreary summer we're having, the Great Yorkshire Show this year was blessed with fine, if not hot weather. But the agricultural show has had its fair share of welly wearing, umbrella brandishing conditions over it's 158 years. And arguably, it's worse three days was the occasion it was held in Skipton, of all places. Clive White investigates.
THE three day show arrived in Skipton on August 1,1876, and was set up in a specially earmarked plot between the Leeds and Liverpool canal and the Midland Railway, near to Skipton sewage works and Bold Venture quarry.
It covered about 25 acres and was roughly 1000 yards from the old station near Cavendish Street which was brought back into use to enable stock to be driven in and out.
The town was buzzing with feverish excitement in the days leading up to the show, signalled by the arrival of Marshall Stephenson, one of the show secretaries. His job was to oversee the arrangements of the show field.
The Craven Herald reporter waxed lyrical stating: "It can be stated with confidence that some of the exhibitors, both stock and implements, the country can produce have entered and a first class show may be reasonably expected."
A star act was the planned appearance of the Band of the Grenadier Guards which was booked to play on the two final days.
It was a significant appearance, the band had shortly before visited the USA as reputedly the first British soldiers to set foot on American soil since the War of Independence in 1815. The British, who had just just finished defeating the French in Europe, were trounced by the Americans and sent scurrying in retreat.
The victory was celebrated 140 years later by county singer Johnny Horton with his song "The Battle of New Orleans" in which he revels in how the US army had the British fleeing down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
Sticking with the musical theme, the show organisers were also intent on hiring a brass band to perform in different parts of the town during the three days of the show to entertain those Skipton folk - and visitors - unable to get down to the show ground.
The gates opened on Tuesday, August 1, at 9am and on the following mornings at 8am, the admission price being half-a-crown on the first day and a shilling on each of the following two days.
The show - one of the biggest events ever to hit Skipton - was to be backed up by balls, galas and concerts in the town where it was also expected there would be a boost in the availability of food and drink.
And their expectations initially proved to be correct. Plenty of people were attracted to the show ground and its four monstrous tents crammed with food served by 100 waiters and or course there was tons of dry and green fodder for the umpteen animals.
Everything was going well for the first two days until Thursday, the final day, dawned and disaster struck. The Craven Herald reporter describes it as possibly the worse day one could experience for an agricultural show. "A perfect storm of wind and rain" had lashed down throughout Wednesday night.
He describes how the place was deserted and "occasionally a solitary figure or two might be seen darting across the field from the suite of offices whose presence was compulsory or that of an unfortunate reporter tasked to ascertain the effects of a trenching day on the show field." Business in the implement department was at a complete standstill, he comments.
But as the day dragged on it was to get far worse and by the end the showground was a huge swamp and attendance had been almost nil.
He goes on: " The general appearance is miserable, the terrific gale having caused considerable damage to the machinery and implements.
"At one tent, the uprights have been dragged out of the ground, the strong thick supports of the canvas snapped like matchwood and dashed with great vehemence on the machinery underneath.
"But a scene of greater wreck is witnessed in the open field where the refreshment tents and the sheep stalls are located. The first class refreshment tent has been blown down altogether, the sheep stall have almost completely lost the covering and the timber supporting them broken.
"The stable for horses is being filled with cattle and the horses, many of which were restive with fright, have been removed from the ground altogether,
"It is feared that many of the animals may have suffered from exposure. The ground resembles a huge swamp."
The show was not to be hit so catastrophically again until 2012 when it was cancelled after the first day because of torrential rain which made the car parks unsafe.
It was founded in 1837 and was originally a travelling event, each year moving to a different location. It continued like that until 1950 when the Yorkshire Agricultural Society bought its present ground in Harrogate.

The attack comes barely a fortnight after several Muslim families, running small enterprises such as tailoring and barber shops in Basai village, were beaten up and forced to flee to their native places in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Twenty-five-year-old Mohammad Israr and his 40-year-old friend Aftab were at their shop near Kapashera on the Delhi-Haryana border when a large mob armed with sticks confronted them, accusing them of selling beef.

So it appears I've lost my wallet, containing my license, library card, various membership cards.
No money thankfully. If there was money, I had the wrong wallet to start with.
Figured "how hard can it be these days to request new cards etc online".
Impossible so far.
Countdown : Fail. Got to goto a store and request new card but will request my card number to do so - I don't have my card number. So try to login online - cant remember password - request new password. Asks for card #
Flybuys : Fail. Its my online account, yet its showing me 3 card holders (me, wife and "anonymous") - go to request new card, and only allows me to select wife or anonymous. Try updating anonymous to my name. Declined "already exists". WTF.
EBGames : Fail. Not even a mention of the cards on website. Will have to go instore I guess.
License : Fail. Uses RealMe which is a piece of crap in itself in my experience. (to a degree fair enough)
Library : Fail. Mentions lost books but not cards.
Still try to remember what else I had in the wallet......
Woohoo!! just noticed I still have Stocard installed, so at least that gives me my EBGames/New World/Countdown membership numbers.

For an eCommerce website that really want to encourage visitors to buy their products, they need a well-designed website because it is of an immense importance for any website that want to be successful.
Many internet users have a very short attention span. For that reason, it is important to have an appealing eCommerce website that will encourage most visitors to stay longer and go deeper into web pages.
If you have an eCommerce website like eBay or Amazon, you will see that you have a site that persuade people. The urge to visit the site and stay will always be there.
Are you planning to start your own eCommerce site? There are some tricks you need to pay attention to.
Do not compromise the loading time
The mistake you can easily make is to compromise the loading time. The web pages, image, flash, and others should load faster. Although all these help the users and improve experience, they may affect the loading time. Therefore, focus on creating a visually appealing site that will load on time.
Site traffic navigation
Another thing to pay attention to when designing your website is that it should easily navigate. The users should be able to find the desired products on time. You can incorporate a search box for this purpose. It should be well optimized too.
Reduce the number of clicks to buy
There is something very important to check when designing your eCommerce site and that is the number of click it takes to land on the buying page. It should not be too long which may discourage the users and cause them to leave your site. The "Buy Now" button should take them to the product page where they can buy directly and make easy purchase.
Make use of the "Add to cart" feature to allow your users to store what they may want to buy much later. Your site should be completely easy for the users to use generally and this will bring you more sales.

3D Rendering In Interior Design: Transforming Homes With New Age Technology
The interior designing industry has transformed over the past few years with technology being at the forefront of this revolution. As the industry evolves, interior designers have also quickly adapted to new age technology and designing trends that is taking over the scene. Things like mood boards and presentations are very much out of the picture and have been majorly replaced by 3D rendering plans in most of the interior designing companies. Nowadays, companies do not give out hand drawn plans and blueprints to their customers but a full fledged virtual experience wherein homeowners can see their dream home come to life even before the execution has started.
3D rendering has massively changed the Interior designing industry but how does it help homeowners and designers define better home interiors? In this blog, we'll dive deep into the advantages and use of 3D rendering in interior design.
How 3D Rendering in Interior Design Works?
Combining the technology of 3D architectural rendering into home interior solutions, interior design companies now provide interior design rendering services wherein the technology of virtual reality and augmented reality is used to give homeowners an almost real interpretation of their home interiors in 3D. Homeowners are able to view everything from the carpet texture to wall colors and every minute detail of the house even before it is executed. With the advancement in technology, designers have found a unique way of presenting interior designs to their clients without using hand drawn sketches or mood boards.
How Does Interior Design Rendering Services Help Homeowners?
Home owners are not new to the trend of 3D rendering as part of interior design services and most clients look forward to viewing their home in virtual realty. But apart from the obvious curiosity, 3D rendering in interior design also provides a great deal of benefits to homeowners.
Clear Interpretation:
The biggest takeaway from 3D rendering in interior design that homeowners mention is the clarity they get. 3D renders are pretty much self explanatory and therefore interior designers do not have to spend time explaining every fabric and wall decor they are going to use. Every element is designed in VR and presented to the client for easy understanding which makes it easy for the client as well as the designer to visualize the home and have a clear idea of what the home will look like once it's done.
Seamless Design Corrections:
Interior design rendering services are provided to clients so that it becomes easy for homeowners to look at the final design. Therefore, 3D rendering gives them the freedom to ask for quick changes in decor style or furniture positioning as well as makes it easy for the interior designer to perform those changes. 3D rendering has become a cost effective way to provide the customer with their desired requirements without wasting precious man hours of your design team.
Retaining Customer Attention:
Presenting to your clients and explaining the complexities of interior designing is an exhausting process, especially when no one in the room is paying attention. Hand drawn sketches, mood boards and presentation does not help the case either. The best alternative to this is 3D rendering in interior design that has gained a lot of popularity among homeowners as well as designers. Virtual reality has transformed the way interior plans are made and has also helped homeowners view, understand and realize their dream home interiors. This also increases the customer satisfaction by tenfolds.

Therefore, it is only right that our interior designing firm also adapts to this new age technology and give our clients 100% satisfaction through customised design solutions and 3D rendering plans.
