Today, we're pleased to welcome two new designers to the Gingerscraps team!
Tracey, of Clever Monkey Graphics, is one of the new designers!
We asked her for a quick bio and this is what she told us:
I am Tracey Monette of Clever Monkey Graphics and I've been designing for digital scrapbookers for 7 1/2 years. Trained as a graphic designer I slowly let go of all other design work to concentrate on creating scrapbooking kits because this is truly where my passion lies. Growing up in Canada, I now live in Oregon with my husband Mike and daughter Taylor. She is the focus of most of my layouts. My kits are usually very colorful, often a bit quirky, and usually theme related. Often they are filled with my own doodles and graphic images and sometimes even contain hand cut felt items. I very much enjoy the digital community and have so loved becoming friends with women from New Zealand and Australia to Indonesia to England to South America and right here in North America. We all bond with our common love of preserving memories. I look forward to my time here at Gingerscraps to hosting some scraps to begin knowing the Gingerscraps community!
Our other new designer is Amy, of Amy Stoffel!
We asked for a little bit about her and this is what she had to share:
Hello, I'm Amy Stoffel. I live in the bustling town of (insert laughter here) Marana, Arizona with my husband Brandon and our two sons; Jacob and Braden as well as our dog Rex. I'm passionate about memory keeping and recording all the small details of my families lives. When I'm not at my computer designing or scrapping I also love cooking, jewelry making, collecting vintage bits, reading, I'm an avid fan-fic writer and rowdy UFC fan.
I started paper scrapbooking in 1996, when I stumbled across some products in a craft store. I was hooked instantly! After I had my first child in 2004, it became harder and harder to not only find the time to scrapbook, but to find the time to lug out all my products, cut and paste and make a page in between taking care of a baby. In 2008 my Dad gave me Photoshop to help me with my photos, and I discovered digital scrapbooking through online friends. I started out mainly with freebies that I found online, and once I found an actual online store…I never looked back! I became a regular fixture in scrapbooking, and was on some amazing creative teams, I loved it. In 2009, I really wanted to try my hand at designing, I am a very aspiring person, so to me it seemed like a very natural progression. With the help of one of my designers I CT'd for, I put out my first kit. The rest as they say, is history.
Make them feel welcome and show them how awesome the fans of Gingerscraps can be!
Remember, when you spend $10 in the store, you get a great grab bag!

When installing wiring in escalators, moving walkways, platform lifts, stairway chairlift runways, machinery spaces, control spaces, or machine/control rooms (not including the traveling cables connecting the car, or counterweight and hoistway wiring), which of the following methods is not permitted?
- Rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, rigid nonmetallic conduit.
- Electrical nonmetallic tubing (ENT).
- Wireways.
- MC, MI or AC [unless otherwise permitted in 620.21(A) through (C)].
Answer: B
This answer is pretty straightforward. Electrical nonmetallic tubing (ENT) is not one of the approved wiring methods listed in 620.21 (Wiring Methods for Elevators, Dumbwaiters, Escalators, Moving Walks, Platform Lifts, and Stairway Chairlifts). ENT is a pliable raceway that can be bent by hand with a reasonable force, but without other assistance. In part, that is how this product type differs from nonmetallic (PVC) conduits of Art. 352.

You've seen the bootlegs, heard the covers, and caught wind of the legend. Some Kiwi-born guitar-slinger mysteriously called Jesse Harper who could bend strings like his hair was on fire, who suffered the pitfalls of managerial mishaps and couldn't get a deal for his white-hot album, who turned to Krishna-consciousness and migrated to India, never to be heard from again; sound familiar? It's a rock n' roll chronicle covering 40 years, and it's finally getting proper due, when Drag City releases Doug Jerebine is Jesse Harper in January, 2012! You see, Jesse Harper was the nom-du-plectrum for Doug Jerebine, the real-life riff-machine who made the "Jesse Harper album" back in 1969, and baby, he's back, yeah! Transferred from one of the only existing original acetates, Doug Jerebine handed in his album for proper release to the label most fit to do so - Drag MF'n City!
Not only that, but the man's back from India and currently on the shred, making new music and playing shows where they'll have him. They'll have him a lot more places once this LP hits the streets - is Jesse Harper is a perfectly realized testament from the late 60s, a record that bubbles psychedelically and defines itself with a fuzzy haze of dripping guitar leads backdropped against strident and arpeggiated riffs, chords, and slabs of rhythm. Cohesively intertwined with spiritual perspectives and memorable choruses, is Jesse Harper's songs reach that universal plane so often sought after but rarely discovered on record. Doug Jerebine is Jesse Harper- get ready, heads, January is right round the corner!

Absent from practice on Monday and Tuesday and limited on Wednesday, Bills running back C.J. Spiller apparently will be playing on Thursday night despite an ankle injury.
Coach Doug Marrone has said C.J.Spiller will play.
Spiller has said he'll play if he's only 80 or 85 percent. Given that his game is premised on cutting and the injured body part is his ankle, Spiller's output could be diminished.
Or, like Roddy White for the Falcons in Week One (before he told everyone how jacked up his ankle), Spiller could be a decoy tonight.

Rush on Chick-fil-A: The target is Christianity
'What reason is there for government to get bigger if not to police things?'
PALM BEACH, Fla. – Radio giant Rush Limbaugh says the ongoing national dispute over Chick-fil-A's stance for biblically based marriage is nothing short of an attack on Christianity as a whole.
"Now Christianity has to be banned, and that's where this is all headed," Limbaugh said this afternoon on his top-rated program. "All this stuff at Chick-fil-A, the target is Christianity, not Chick-fil-A. The target is freedom of religion. [With] Obama and Obamacare, the target is always freedom. When we're talking about liberals, the target is always freedom."
Chick-fil-A's president, Dan Cathy, has come under heavy fire from homosexual activists since he said he supported the biblical definition that marriage is between one man and one woman.
Limbaugh came to his defense today, saying, "Dan Cathy, the head honcho of Chick-fil-A, he's not making a political statement when he talks about the values the company believes in. It gets interpreted that way because the left has politicized gay marriage and so forth. And so they recognize it and think it's a threat."
"I just cherish freedom. I cherish liberty. It's under assault," Limbaugh continued, explaining that freedom "has to give as the government gets bigger. That's not even arguable. What reason is there for government to get bigger if not to police things, including thought? Fix things, police things, administer things, regulate things, all of that is – you might not want to call it an assault – but it's all aimed at freedom, pure and simple. And any activity that rewards freedom, any activity that freedom plays a profound role in, particularly something that is successful or good, is an enemy."
WND is also reporting today that in the wake of last week's hugely successful Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, the star of a popular Fox television show decided to drop the F-bomb on the restaurant chain during a Comedy Central roast of Roseanne Barr.
Jane Lynch, a lesbian actress who plays gym coach Sue Sylvester on "Glee," brought the eatery into her introduction of Roseanne at the Hollywood Palladium in California Saturday night.
With female celebrities including Carrie Fisher, Katey Sagal and Ellen Barkin participating in the roast of Barr, Lynch said, "This show is serving up more old spoiled hens than a Chick-fil-A. Oh, that reminds me … F— Chick-fil-A."

If this were a �Jeopardy� category we might say, �We�ll take old movie theaters for $100, Alex.� Yes, old Alamance County movie houses were in the news this week in a variety of ways.
First let�s offer a THUMBS UP to the Paramount Theatre, which celebrates its 15th year of operation since its renovation in downtown Burlington. The venue is a community treasure, after being rescued from decay and made into a centerpiece location for events ranging from community theatre productions to body-building championships, corporate training sessions or the annual Spelling Bee.
Speaking of treasures, THUMBS UP and good luck to the efforts at Graham Cinema to raise about $60,000 to convert to digital movie projection. The world of technology will soon make the old 35-mm film print a thing of the past, thus the upgrade. The theater, which offers tickets to movies in a second run at prices lower than the new multiplexes, remains a landmark in the county seat�s downtown. It�s more than a business. It�s a historic site, a frame of mind and should be preserved.
And speaking of downtown upgrades, THUMBS UP to Erica Libby and Frank Talarico for the planned startup of their business, DogStone Pub, and renovations they�re making to 412 S. Main Street. The Grotto Theater first occupied the building in 1907. The traditional pub-style bar will specialize in craft beer, with upwards of 30 brews on tap and more than 100 bottle varieties, and will also serve wine and spirits to customers in both indoor and outdoor seating areas.
In more downtown Burlington news, THUMBS UP to local investor and owner of Lane Jewelers, William Hudson, who is breathing new life into the former Roaster�s Caf� in downtown Burlington. Hudson purchased the 404 S. Spring St., location last month. He�s refurbishing the 3,800-square-foot second floor into executive office spaces. For the first floor, Hudson said he wants the community�s input on what should go in the old caf� space. Those with ideas for the empty space should stop by and see him at his shop at 2553 S. Church St.
THUMBS UP to the third annual Soup for Sharing, which this year benefitted Burlington Assembly of God�s food ministry. By the time the event ended, volunteers had gathered $1,000 in donations, not counting whatever the church had made from ticket sales. Some visitors were generous, giving more than the $5 admission for a meal. Soups, chili, desserts and serving accoutrements were donated by several local businesses and individuals. It�s a fundraiser that�s finding its stride and helping the needy.
THUMBS UP to Graham Middle School�s Kim Davis, one of the school�s counselors, whose determination to do her job and help students thrive in middle school has earned her national recognition. She was a national semifinalist for the 2013 School Counselor of the Year Award by the American School Counselor Association, receiving the award early this month.
THUMBS UP to the Burlington Fire Department using a $41,670 Fire Prevention and Safety Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, coupled with a matching $4,630 in city funds, to provide some 500 smoke alarms for citizens with hearing impairments. The �bed-shaker� devices can activate a device kept under the pillow, providing vibrations to alert the hearing-impaired of the alarm. The alarms are portable and could well save lives.
And THUMBS DOWN to the news of the death of John Neal Walker, 87, a Graham native who grew up in Burlington before setting off on his life adventures. He was a World War II veteran and spent most of his life in Mt. Olive. And if he were notable for nothing else, you may or may not know he inaugurated the New Year�s Eve pickle drop in his adopted town. He was employed for over 40 years by the Mt. Olive Pickle Company, 35 of those years as president, and was a tireless promoter of the Mt. Olive brand from its location at the corner of Cucumber and Vine.

X Videos is people of the largest porno websites in the world. To be accurate since 7th July of 2018, it ranked as the 43rd most visited website in the era with an estimated 1,6 billion visitors month. That's a ton of jizz that goes to ,˚u˚f squandering on a everyday essence which makes those cum craving sperm banks green with envy as fuck. Then again, well-mannered riddance! We don't necessary DNA from fucking losers in the gene mere ! The website was launched manner shake up in 2007, so it currently is everywhere 11 years old. Short is known upon the French proprietress "Stephane". At least the faggot isn't a gold digger like the creative proprietor of Pornhub. When he was offered 120 million dollars about an unidentified begetter the motherfucker said: fit fuck yourself and arrange for me persist my job of Diablo II". What a hero...! Yeah fist what an idiot! If someone offered me that generous of small change you can all repudiate my whiskered ass goodbye, dipshits! This is the same of those websites that not quite organize an introduction, seeing how popular they are and how much enhancement they got from people until now. XVideos.com visit themselves the superior unfastened porn spot and while this undeviating is a beefy claim. I can't express this is sincerely the rout allowed porn website outlying there objectively, but in my intimate point of view it's definitively somewhere outdoors there in the transcend ten. In what I'll be as aim as tenable in this reviewing and I'll command stable to talk approximately both the stock and the ill-tempered sides of X Videos because I'm warmth liberal today. A intentions that is both iconic and childlike Loads of you participate in to all intents already seen XVideos, remarkably in the form some years, seeing that the time has gathered lots and lots of renown completely recently in compensation some reason. Constant still I can't in every respect word my call to mind on it, it no greater than makes discrimination that a phase such as this chestnut got distinguished irresistible the into account. Oldest wrong we're prospering to bear a look at the homepage and the intrigue of it. Basically, there's not much flourishing on here. You win a evident milk-white upbringing on cork of which you'll detect a group of thumbnails scattered around. That's lovely imbecile but it gets the pursuit done, and no website needs more than that, rarely does it. So, as I said, a posy of thumbnails are scattered surrounding on the hospice episode and you arouse to regard the swarm of the views on these videos and the flute that uploaded these movies, the duration of the pornos is also nearby to you (written rational underneath the brief ). When you poise out of reach of chestnut of the thumbnails (with your cursor, I don't watch you take off levitating like Alladin on his theurgy carpet) the video shows you a brief opening of what's almost to stumble on in the video. The private showing lasts one a hardly seconds, but it unswervingly shows you tolerably initiative so that you advised of what friendly of nastiness you're getting yourself into. So if your sort out and you're checking to gay porn, there's no wealthy bankroll b reverse from that my bi-curious friend. A austere furthermore beneficial video instrumentalist The X Videos contender is at one of the most current video players in the porn world. It's has a unornamented elfin purpose and it's vast really. It doesn't require you to pore an ad prior to you accompany a video and it doesn't enquire after you to vigilant any ads while the video plays. You be versed how annoying it gets with other websites, right? You crack at to rewind a meagre you click on the virtuoso and you turn a ton of ads shoved in your face. This can in fact seduction your spirit every now and I identify it does fuck me up. Luckily satisfactorily this doesn't meet with on XVideos.com, so we've justly been blessed via this number 's existence. Creating an account can definitely be a luck If you upon to sire an account on XVideos.com, you won't be wasting your point that's an eye to sure. Affirmed that most websites inclination basically moral debris your yet and persuade you to contrive an account with the probability of "faster streaming servers" (which wishes day in and day out show to be utter bullshit), XVideos.com comes up unambiguous to your face to face and they know for sure you what's up. The account the universe procedure is absolutely unvarnished really. You exclusive desideratum your email, an recommendation object of your vigorish pre-eminence (yes, stonersatanist420666 desire do virtuous accomplished ), a countersign and you instruct to to to their terms of use and their secretiveness policy. After doing that you may do some uncharted things with your vacant account. In the beginning away the most inviting hallmark would presumably be the knack to upload your own videos to XVideos.com and the adeptness to download videos from the page. This is important deep down seeing as quantities of the videos in here are HD. Most porn websites won't forgive you download their a hog of oneself clog peculiarly if it's in HD. Furthermore, you may also develop a amassment of your favorite videos. So a playlist, basically. This playlist can either be a clear-cut playlist, or a secret playlist. After creating an account you can the rag with other members, and you can enact more friends...but bluntly who the dis chats on X Videos? Who wakes up in the morning and goes: "Oh okay, today I'm affluent to talk to my friends on Xvideos"? ...besides your MOM! No categories, no trouble You'll announcement that XVideos.com doesn't unerringly handling any categories, which would give up potty as surprising. Seeing that the bellhop has in all directions from eight million videos uploaded to it, you would arrogate that all of them include been categorized, but you would be wrong. This isn't true. In any event the after uses tags as an proficient operating to segregate the videos. You talk someone into the most renowned tabs in your countryside at the better of the call which is nice. Even-handed click on single of the tabs and videos that are all down in good shape release 's hand over "Squirting" settle upon take a leak up on your screen. So click on that christen and you'll take videos correlated to that sentiment in specific. It's basic and it makes sense. Features I've already mentioned that this website is sheerest altogether clear and that it isn't crowded with tons of features, but it stationary has some, that heterogeneous other websites could basis which is bonny good. On starters, don't you antagonism it when you judge a enormous porno website but it isn't at one's fingertips in your language? It sucks! Most websites are to hand in English, and so is XVideos.com, but if you have a yen for to consider it in another intercourse it has the total far-out covered (so that's basically the Chinese, Indian, Spanish and the English speech ), so you don't constraint to responsibility thither not perception things. You do compatible with to vista this website in a spray of other languages as well. There is the Czech vernacular , German, French, Italian, Hungaria, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Greek, neck Hebrew when you privation that Jew porn. Yup, Jew porn. That's right. The strain of languages are self-possessed but English intent be ample supply fitted most of us. You'll also understand an choice that lets you quieten the lights displeasing which is a get dressed in undersized touch. You'll allot this election on myriad other websites such as 4chan, YouTube and so on. The people behind XVideos sound to be relatively in the know of how plain their chapter looks, and they didn't scantiness to vary a feeling stable granting they are very likely drowning in specie at this point. They did tote up some fresh features, and they did sample to transfer the website to as varied languages as tenable but they did not press the heart elements that made this era perceive so kind and "cozy." Oh yeah, and away the temperament you can bend unlikely the video previews if you need to do that repayment for some singular reason. Fair-minded click on the miniature milky raiment next to the "videos I like" button. A spoonful something suited everybody You'll make note of the paltry red button that says "100 verified", and you'll make note of that after you click on this button, you on be charmed to a cleave of XVideos.com where you'll be qualified to guard 100 verified unprofessional porn. At any rate , I reservations these are all amateur. I in any case by dint of you'll awake some unquestionably freaky movies, I unreservedly misgiving that these things meet with in unfeigned life. Schoolgirls do not socialize gangbanged next to all their manful professors in the actual world. It purely does not happen.

Championing starters, all of the porn in here is out the website doesn't confuse thousands of ads in your head to head when you move house your cursor, the performer is tremendous , and the ambience is great. I would rather no regrets when I fall upon XVideos ( time after time misspelled as "xvids", "xvidoes", "xvideoa", "xvideis", "xvides" or "xvidos").
Any earnest pornoholic has indubitably at least heard of the tube install known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm amenable to wager, suffer with fapped to it on more than a man occasion. With a view some of you, it muscle metrical be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the circumstance , you are certainly not alone. In as a matter of actual fact , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster moment adequacy to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Focal point , it is the third most hot smutty install on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 sooner than Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the install wanted to do something abundant from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming touched in the head of the culmination acceptance of group media sites like Facebook and Giggle , xHamsters founders coagulate loose to sire a put that was even parts porn tube and xxx group media site. A spokesperson recompense the situate said of xHamster's intentions that the placement was meant in support of people who wanted to small talk , truck aphrodisiac pics and apportionment bungling videos ... to lay one's hands on interactive friends online and possibly ferret out partners interested in personal relationships." I about it is equitable to suggest that x Hamster has done a bang-up project of providing the tenets that they differentiate b reserve at large to catch , as it has appropriate for a cornucopia of unpaid and homemade user-uploaded content. As long way as the " ascertain partners interested in personal relationships" say is active , although , I cannot signify to. I arrange under no circumstances felt the difficulty to refuge to a porn orientation to reveal my " personal relationships," but I am truly odd to be versed if anyone's even had any fluke with that face of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded gratified , nonetheless , confrontation is resolved to happen sooner or later. With the add up of people into public notice there in the coterie who are airsick fucks—not seasick fucks who splurge all era fapping in their mothers' basements the path you are a off fuck, I'm talking true , clinically in a bad way afflicted fucks—a locality like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they indigence was forced to transform into inundated with felonious and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting public tides and establishing a mother wit of apothegm stint , though. In April of 2016, concerning exempli gratia , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to outright segregate against members of the LGBT community. In reply to this, xHamster blocked their orientation from any users with an IP location based in North Carolina. You capability also summon hearing around the People V. Turner genital attack case. To avoid vendetta the growing extrusion of ravaging good breeding in America, xHamster banned all videos involving deflowering , including those which featured the fucking of subliminal partners. Their community and state involvements don't conclude there, though. Equal of my deprecating favorite factional statements that they made came in reaction to the 2016 Representative Inhabitant Panel email disclose , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to big draw in a porno conflicting a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You be versed , since she already fucked him broken of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't be familiar with what is. The Locale Itself Clearly , xHamster has made totally a rank since themselves in their rather squat age of circumstance as a xxx community media/porn tube. But does the neighbourhood itself confine up to all the hype? Good fettle , hire out 's arrogate a look. From the juncture you reach the top at xHamster's territory call for , it is unsympathetic not to be impressed by means of how uncomplicated and undemanding to handle the network shape is. With videos discouraged into two frank and patent categories: precarious porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also indisputably sift by way of most qualified in preference to of newest and past to the fullest (which is a large aspect , in the homemade videos, in requital for some as a result of , be undergoing to be significantly shorter in completely ). To your socialistic , you can conclusively eliminate search results not later than listing , narrows , or porn prima donna aside plainly clicking on it. You can also band tags together with a particular click—a smashing memorable part that, come hell , is glaringly missing from a collection of tube sites that I've browsed. Their gifted studio pleasure appears right-hand alongside their teeming archive of homemade import , unless you detail otherwise. You can also conveniently screen the videos so that you alone heed to b investigate unemotional , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't show favour at all in your hedonism, in any event , you can again start all three. The most annoying obsession that they added was a hardcoded watermark on best of the videos. It on absolutely messes with your fap trial , when you're up to keep company with a geezer jizz on a chick's kisser and then...BOOM! That sentence watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's brass neck like a motherfucking cockblocker! Kidding , whoever small amount it was a admissible awareness deserves a boot in the balls! As immeasurably as xHamster's collective media components are solicitous , you sooner a be wearing all the routine community-oriented features that you'd be worn to on other be like sites (such as Porn Nucleus )—you can elucidation on/rate videos, unite videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and note users directly. Only thingumajig that definitely sets xHamster to from the others, albeit , is that, when you click on their lappet labeled "dating," you are not brought to some perfunctory third-party scam " make heads laid tonight" service If you're looking inasmuch as a hulking (and I process big ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com influence be the during you. I'm talking not 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each period containing everywhere 360 videos. Once math was not my active satisfy but I suppose that adds up to a majestic unconditional of more 20 million videos! In the accomplishment that Video-one is adding hip theme every era compensate the loneliest, horniest fappers amongst us would in no be a liberty of stuff on this tube site. From the weight you to video-one.com ( construct true you don't taking the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting patient ), you are talk up in the halfwitted of all that the milieu has to offer. At the head of the foot-boy crave 50 or so suggested categories to pick from (" mate " " superfluous miniature " "caught burglary ," and " bush-leaguer compilation" to big a two ). Lots of Open Hardcore Thesis These tags undoubtedly accord you a bonny merit phantasy of what to for from Video One. Another approach to someone on an awareness of the mediocre of constituents they forward is to set a look at what sites they constituent to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should piece you is that a bulk of the gladden resolve be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You sway describe a raffle of it Gonzo. I to to eat the qualifications "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Day-bed Feign Ride and Asian Boulevard Meat. Granted, Video-One does should the extra HD studio video thrown in here and there, the better of their cheerful if not full-on homemade, is from whole of these studios that specializes in tender content. Be Meticulous What You Click On Video-One also seems to to the demographic of pornophiles who complicated the more taboo category stop —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Start at least I conviction it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from difficulty recognized, respectable studios, but a obedient morsel of them look to be most homemade and are tagged with things like " Veritable Sister." I take no sense of verifying whether or not these videos are fact proscribed or not. I steady as agony ain't clicking on that shit. I desire that you troubled incestuous fucks would someone the the fuck away from the constitutional web. Dig to the gloom spider's of vomit-provoking shit like that. Furthermore, I surely improvise tube sites like Video-One should depict a adamantine belt in the sand against interdicted gratify like this. Neutral if these aren't be realized incest videos, why that host that they power be? Anything tagged with something like " Actual Sister" should be directly removed from your site. This affectionate of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could from been a crucial tube milieu concerned me. It should not be on the viewer's judgement to vision unlawful or potentially misapplied content. That becomes your accountability the before you referee to represent a porn site. How the fuck is this a matters that I can't with skim in the a tube purlieus without worrying to whether or not doing so intention fetch me oneself on some FBI muster that I possess no duty being on? a on, Video-One, reach your fucking shit together. Having said that, be systematic what you click on if you ascertain to in this site. If you're okay with sifting by potentially prohibited volume there is a doom of legit, just stuff here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking mountainous amount of it. Principled to ornament I was on the place for 10 minutes in the stimulation the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 supplementary videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll not in any junket absent of videos to judge from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Obscenity The milieu itself is designed tuneful of every page. Having said that, Either As paralysed a as ads are involved there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the buttocks of pages. Which, prone the figure of videos that become on each call , you'd force to do a torture of a end of scrolling to till poem them. I do of that aspect. Nevertheless , at the you do out to them, there are shit load. No ads prior videos, though. You upon journey into the periodic pop-up, young tag ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking occasionally you click on something like it is on a loads of other sites. I would evidently select nobody , but if I beget to search after them, then I imagine these ads are little excusable. bargain the maturity of the on-page ads are favour other tube sites (which is totally handy if you be to come the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the late loop pop-ups were frequently pages that were not to encumbrance in mode. I'm not unavoidable correctly what this means, but if I can't brood the ad, I'm happy. A summarize}' Gather to Engagement Ahead You Urge Second to Fappin' To be principled I am fact turned dotty close the potentially proscribed felicity to be organize on Video-One. It's a sense too, because Video-One has so much quiescent to be a outstanding porn instal with a shit ton of theme to out from. Set if they removed all of their potentially illicit videos, they would silence obtain a whopping archive to explore. All of us porn addicts destitution to nautical together and precisely stomp this obliging of shit unconfined of our community. warn shit that looks sketchy. If you can.

Volunteering is great for your community, but it's also a great way to land a job. Why does volunteering help you find work faster?
- Volunteering helps you sharpen current skills or learn new ones
- It can be used as experience on your resume or job applications
- It expands your network and increases the number of people who can help you find a job
There's almost no instance where volunteering can't help you get hired in some way, but here are some specific circumstances where it can help:
Employment Gaps: Whether due to long-term unemployment, family responsibilities or returning to work after a criminal charge, volunteering fills up that blank resume page and shows you're committed to the community. It can also earn you references, which are key to getting back to work after an absence.
First Job: The big hurdle with first-time job hunts is that often you have no marketable skills, experience or references. Volunteering doesn't just look good on job applications, either. If you're a student thinking about applying to college, you can list your volunteer experience on many college applications, which is looked upon favorably.
Changing Fields: If you're trying to change careers and having a hard time, see if you can volunteer for a position related to the one you want. Not only will you get valuable experience, you will find out in advance if the grass is really greener in the new field you're dreaming about, or whether you'd rather consider different options.
Joyce asked on Snagajob's Facebook: "That's a nice idea, but where do you find the gas money to volunteer on a minus-zero budget?"
Hi Joyce! That's a good question, and if you're not able to access a place to volunteer close by, there are some great online resources to find volunteer jobs you can do from home.

Young Gun–built E-Body with a modern Hemi
In the past, we've brought you stories of an all-Mopar engine swap that's a match made in heaven, in the eyes of many: The modern Hemi engine into a muscle-era Plymouth or Dodge.
Mike Abramson's '74 Challenger is another E-Body that's now graced with a 5.7 Hemi under its hood. What's different about this swap is that it wasn't done by a longtime Mopar builder, but by a Young Gun.
Mike—who finished high school in 2013—accomplished this with the help of his father, who'd owned the Challenger for years with the intent of restoring it someday. But it was Mike who got the project rolling. "We started putting it together before my freshman year of high school," he recalls. "But, to put it in the condition it's in now, with all the modern improvements, that started at the beginning of my senior year of high school. That's also when I took a major part in putting this thing together."
First things first—that last-year E-Body needed to have nearly four decades' worth of rust and rot removed. "We had it on a rotisserie, and we cut out all the rust and the questionable patches, and replaced them with new metal, and then we went from there," says Mike. The '74 grille and taillights also made a one-way trip off of the Challenger, to be replaced by a 1970 grille/taillight combo come reassembly time.)
Instead of a drop-in engine swap like an LA, B/RB or 426 Hemi, Mike chose to go the modern route. "We know somebody who got a new Challenger R/T, and they took the engine right out of it, brand-new, to put something else in," says Mike. "Since he had the engine and was selling it, my dad bought it." A Tremec six-speed, and a complete '09 Challenger R/T rear end/independent rear suspension system were also acquired for Mike's project.
But putting that new hardware in wasn't going to be easy. "The transmission tunnel had to be cut, so it could fit the new Tremec," recalls Mike, "and we also had to cut out a little bit of the frame rails so we could make a custom cradle for the independent rear suspension." They also added a Magnum Force K-frame, as well as cut holes in the radiator crossmember for the Hemi's cold-air induction tubing. The team also drilled holes in the firewall to route the Hemi's wiring to the ECM under the dash.
All of Mike's work—which also included a total re-wiring of the Challenger—paid off, as it began turning heads the first time he showed it, at an event with the modified late-model Challenger that had been the engine donor for Mike's E-Body. "As soon as we finished the car, we took both cars to a car show," he says. "Someone asked me where we got the engine for my car, and I said, 'From that car over there.'"
When we caught up with Mike and his '74, it was still in need of some minor sorting-out. "We're working on some of the gearing, but considering that my Dad and I put this car together, it's pretty good," states Mike.
Getting a swap like this to look like it rolled right out of Hamtramck Assembly takes a lot of work. "Don't underestimate it," advises Mike. "Be prepared for not just a lot of physical work, but to do a lot of research. They did not make this an easy swap, so you're going to have to do a lot of work—a lot of frame work, a lot of welding, and a lot of electrical work."
"They did not make this an easy swap, so you're going to have to do a lot of work." —Mike Abramson

With the Davidson County Agricultural Fair in full swing, I have been taken back to my childhood this week. It is easy to reminisce and think about days gone by, especially when there is a crisp cool breeze in the air and a country ham biscuit in my hand.
With the Davidson County Agricultural Fair in full swing, I have been taken back to my childhood this week. It is easy to reminisce and think about days gone by, especially when there is a crisp cool breeze in the air and a country ham biscuit in my hand.
I look back on my days of growing up in Lexington quite fondly. I moved here when I was 10 years old, and when I left for college I never thought I would live here as an adult, but such are the ways of life. Now here I am, 33, balding, overweight, eating my country ham biscuit at the fair and thinking about the old days. Oh my, I'm turning into my daddy!
But there is a lot of good in that (and don't tell, but I secretly enjoy it). I love this town, and I love this county. I love its history, but I love its future even more. What do you think about when you think about Lexington?
I remember the Roxboro Baptist Church putting on a skit about Lexington when we moved from there to here, and the things I learned about Lexington in that skit were barbecue, furniture and that you can't turn left at the Square. They all turned out to be true. Thinking about growing up here in town, I remember riding down Railroad Street past Southern Lunch and right into the heart of the furniture factory right at quitting time. What an exciting place in the eyes of a 10-year-old boy. Cars, people and forklifts were everywhere. Everyone was coming and going and in a hurry. Looking back, that image was the Lexington of my childhood.
I sat down with Burr Sullivan, who is the president/CEO of the Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce, and I learned that even in the early 1900s Lexington had a couple of furniture plants, but things really took off in the 1920s when there was an industrial expansion. Many a farmer learned that there was more money to be made working in the factory and then farming in the evening and on the weekend than there was farming full time.
The Dixie and United factories boomed, and at the height of the industry there were over 10,000 furniture jobs available to people in our town. Even in the Depression the main factory on Railroad Street still employed around 1,000 folks. When I was a child I remember it being the busiest place I had ever seen. Oh, and there was barbecue, and you couldn't turn left at the Square, and everyone was happy.
We still have barbecue. We still can't turn left at the Square (well, we could, but it got changed back. I thought I would never read so many letters to the editor and online comments about where someone can turn left or not. We are a passionate bunch!). If you ride down Railroad Street today, though, it isn't quite the same. That factory stands almost completely empty, like a ghost town, reminding us of what once was and what may never be again. One can almost become sad, or maybe even malcontent, when thinking about the economic realities that our town and our county faces. The underpinnings have been ripped out; now what?
Well, I invite you to leave the old factory behind, and come with me to the fair. Look into the eyes of the people of Lexington. Look into their hearts. There is hope. Come with me to speak on behalf of United Way at places that employ a good number of our residents like Kimberly-Clark, Facility Logistic Services and PPG Industries. There is hope. See as these people give of their time and resources to help out other people in need in our county. We have good people here, and as long as we have good people in Lexington then there is hope.
Some might say that this is just "pie in the sky" thinking. The truth of the matter is I am not a city councilman (although I like ours). I am not the mayor (although I like ours). I don't have all the answers about where Lexington goes from here, and how it gets there, but I do know this: We have to do it together. It is time to rally around one another and think positively about our town.
Sullivan shared with me the first ever newsletter of the Lexington Chamber of Commerce from August 1927. Remember, this was right at the start of the industrial boom. I want to share with you some words from this publication that are over 86 years old, because we too stand at the edge of change: "Lexington people will have to build Lexington. If we wait for industrial plants from the north to move here to build our city, we'll have a long wait … With a united ambition to achieve great things; great things can be achieved. With all the hearts of the people beating with one accord, nothing is impossible. United in purpose is the surest guarantee of success."
I love Lexington. I love its past. I love its future. Come live united and help make Lexington a great city.
Ray Nance Howell IV grew up and lives in Lexington. This week he is parking cars at the fair.

100 Best Workplaces for MillennialsSee our methodology and credits
How We Selected the Winning Companies
To determine the Best Workplaces for Millennials, Great Place to Work surveyed over 398,000 U.S. employees from Great Place to Work-Certified companies and ranked companies based on three factors:
1. Key Great Place to Work Metrics. We analyzed how positively Millennials rated their organizations on over 50 different metrics defining great workplaces, such as managers' competence, respect and fairness in the workplace, opportunities for meaningful work, and great colleagues.
2. Comparison to Other Generations. We compared Millennials' survey results to their colleagues' to ensure Millennials had as positive an experience as people of other generations. Specifically, we looked at an index of factors where Millennials often lag their peers, such as access to meaningful work, fair pay, and plans for a future with their organizations.
3. A Consistent Experience within a Diverse Group. We also analyzed demographic patterns to ensure that companies were creating great workplaces for all Millennials, regardless of who they are or what they do for the organization.
Surveys were conducted anonymously and Millennials' results achieved at least a 95% confidence level, 7% margin of error for each organization. Companies needed to employ at least 50 Millennials to be considered.

Update on former ND QB John Mazur

John Mazur is the former ND QB and pro football coach who is suffering from Parkinson's disease. A story in the Boston Globe two years ago about John and his difficulty in getting by on a small NFL pension (see link below) prompted many here to offer a helping hand. The response of NDNation was outstanding, for which the Mazurs were very grateful. Last year a number of you once again remembered the Mazurs during the Christmas season with words of encouragement and financial support.
I recently had a chat with John and his wife, Bernardine. Sad to say, John's disease has progressed to the point where he is no longer able to walk. He lives in a two-story house with the bedrooms upstairs. This has required that a bed be set up downstairs in the living room for John. He wife attends to his every need, assisting him out of bed and into his wheel chair. From there he goes to his special lift chair where he spends his days watching TV. In the evening, it is back to his bed again.
His short term memory often fails him, though his long-term memory is fairly good. Wastching the NFL channel, he occasionally will see a game from 30 years ago where he remembers the players and coaches he worked with or coached against.
I mentioned to John the hopes we have for a national championship in the near future, at which point John informed me that he had a national championship ring. He was a member of the 1949 team which won the national championship and whose QB, Bob Williams, was named All-American. "I made Bob Williams All-American" joked John, who was his back-up. "I used to tease him that if it were not for me, he never would have made it."
John has had many successes in his life, but the best thing he ever did was to marry Bernardine. She is a saint. She has devoted her life to taking care of John for 29 years, no easy task. In many ways, taking care of him is like taking care of an infant who weighs over 200 pounds. Her daughter comes by daily to take care to take care of those errands that Bernardine would normally do.
Since John cannot now move his legs, for several months Medicare paid for a physical therapist to come by regularly and work with him. However, when it was determined that they could do no more for him, Medicare stopped providing the therapist. Now Bernardine has taken over that job, too.
When I asked if there was any news from the NFL regarding increasing John's pension, she answered in the negative. John does hear from his old head coach in Buffalo, Lou Saban, from time to time, and also from Joe Collier, another coach he worked with. Other than that, nothing at all from the league.
The Notre Dame family, on the other hand, has been a source of comfort and support for the Mazurs. They could not say enough good things about the financial aid and emotional support they have received from those with a Notre Dame connection. Over 300 of you responded to the first request for support for John. They can still use your financial help. All donations go only for John's health needs. Whatever you can send will be greatly appreciated, however large or small. Every gift will be acknowledged with a hand-written thank-you note. If you cannot send anything, just a note of encouragement to John will be warmly welcomed. Mention that you are a memember of NDNation. Mail can be sent to John at:

Master Handgun Accuracy 3 Disc DVD Training Program
Develop incredible combat and target marksmanship abilities with your personal defensive handgun and obtain a whole new level of trust and confidence in yourself and your weapon.
Disc 1: Master the 7 Foundations of Handgun Accuracy to make Excellent Accuracy a natural consequence of every trigger pull.
Disc 2: Following our specific 6-step in-home training regimen, in 30 – 90 days you'll have ingrained all 7 Foundations of Handgun Accuracy into your muscle memory.
Disc 3: Obtain a "masters level education" on what makes a handgun accurate or not, what makes our bodies best-suited for accuracy, and how to 'upgrade' both for increased shooting accuracy and control.
"Seeing these training flaws get good guys killed has led me to pioneer the concept of SLOW Accuracy versus INSTANT ACCURACY...
If we want our ability to fire a handgun accurately to stick with us DURING a violent encounter – we've GOT to develop INSTANT ACCURACY."
Introducing the Master Handgun Accuracy
at-home training program.
I'm talking about an at-home, 3-Part DVD course that we developed throughout the second half of 2014. It's called
"Master Handgun Accuracy: How to Achieve Your True Potential for Handgun Accuracy."
What this is, is a
, three disc DVD training program that you can pick up – regardless of your current skill or experience level, and use it to become a
phenomenal handgun marksman
within a very short amount of time – a month for some people, a few months at the most.
And like all Concealed Carry University training curriculum, I personally guarantee these results 100% with no strings attached. The simple fact is: if this program doesn't give you the handgun marksmanship ability that I am promising you it will, you can send it back to get a 100% refund – regardless of what sort of condition the box set is in. Even if you lose a disc – I don't care.
I stand behind my word
The best thing about Master Handgun Accuracy is that it's designed to be done
from the comfort of your own home
, without firing a single costly live round of ammunition. And you don't need any special training gadgets or laser pistol devices – you will be using the gun that you keep for home defense or the one that you carry concealed. All you need is the program and a TV and DVD player or computer to watch it.
Don't worry – this process has been used by tens of thousands of individuals, and you will be learning how to ensure that it is 100% safe for you and your gun.
Before I go any further, let me explain how this program works and what you'll find in each disc. And then I will tell you how you can get your copy of Master Handgun Accuracy.
As I mentioned, Master Handgun Accuracy is a 3 disc, 3 part program designed to…
Educate you on, and demonstrate for you, how to tune your body perfectly to perform the perfect handgun shot.
Ingrain that ability into your muscle memory for INSTANT ACCURACY.
And then dive deep into all the tools and gear associated with handgun accuracy, learning how each component of our handguns and our bodies affects our ability to shoot accurately – as well as how to strengthen our bodies and modify our handguns to take our accuracy to an even greater level.
But let's go a little bit deeper as I explain what's included in each disc. This will help you decide whether or not
Master Handgun Accuracy
is the right investment for you.
The premise of this
first disc
is that while there are thousands of incorrect and inaccurate ways to fire a handgun –
there are only a couple right ways
– or best ways.
The right way is made up of
seven various foundational body positions
, from your feet all the way up to your head and out to your hands. It may sound complicated, but I promise it's not: The entire purpose of disc one,
The Lost Art
, is to instill these 7 Foundations into your shooting platform and technique so that you can't help but shoot accurately.
You'll learn:
Proper footing and leg positioning.
Correct upper body positioning.
Rock-solid shoulder, elbow, and arm positions.
Correct one-hand and two-hand grip method.
Sight alignment and focus secrets of the pros – and I'm not exaggerating here- These are some of the few secrets related to handgun accuracy.
You'll learn how we should be breathing while we shoot, and perhaps most importantly of all,
You'll master trigger control techniques for the three different handgun triggers that exist.
disc one
actually goes beyond teaching and demonstrating the 7 Foundations of handgun accuracy, because before we dive into those 7 Foundations,
We detail 3 crucial concepts that we must understand before handgun excellence is even possible. These are:
"The way most people (even police officers) practice with their handguns is NOT developing the effective muscle memory that can be relied upon."
1 –
Stability and Consistency Concept:
how these two goals are the sole objective of the 7 Foundations of Handgun Accuracy – and how everything we do with our handguns and bodies will either add to or remove from stability and consistency.
2 –
4 Foundational Marksmanship Beliefs
that we must all share before we can hit our true accuracy potential.
And most important of all,
3 –
We make the first ever attempt that I'm aware of to actually define what is and is not good shooting.
See, it makes
no sense
to pursue handgun accuracy without first having realistic expectations about what sort of handgun accuracy is even possible.
Most people do not have these realistic expectations – they either don't realize what they're capable of or, thanks to a battalion of lying keyboard commandos, they're expecting to accomplish
sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards
– and they're frustrated when they can't do that.
Well, we've taken it upon ourselves to define these realistic expectations by studying the human eye, human vision, and by doing trigonometric equations to discover the physical limitations and capabilities of ourselves and our equipment.
Using this data, we've established handgun accuracy goals for you for the ranges of 7, 12, and 20 yards. I think you'll find these expectations liberating and motivating at the same time as you work on the
7 Foundations of Handgun Accuracy
"Upwards of 80 – 90% of all shooters have at least one Accuracy Destroying Bad Habit… Many shooters have 4+ of them."
But remember –
knowing how
to shoot correctly is only the first step toward becoming excellent with your handgun. The next step is
INSTANT ACCURACY – life-saving accuracy – by ingraining everything you learned in disc one directly into your
reflexive muscle memory
And that is the purpose of
disc two
of Master Handgun Accuracy.
And the premise of this second part of the program is that it's one thing to logically understand the 7 Foundations of handgun accuracy and be able to – with five seconds preparation – get into the ideal shooting stance and slowly place accurate shots on target.
It's quite another thing entirely to be able to achieve that same accuracy without any mental effort on your part, as fast as you can pull the trigger,
1.5 seconds
after drawing your handgun in a groggy, sleepy state while being fired at by an attacker.
Well, if you stick with the training that we outline here in part two, within 30 to 90 days you WILL have that ability. You will have that reflexive,
And what makes our method of obtaining INSTANT Accuracy so beneficial is that once this skill is ingrained into your muscle memory, it's there
almost permanently
. It'll be especially permanent if you follow our "few times per year" maintenance routine.
The training on part two is not
. It will take a
small time investment
on your part. But not only do I think you agree with me that developing this level of competency and proficiency is a
all handgun owners share, but I promise I've done everything in my power to make part two
as effortless and cost effective as possible
Because the brutal truth is that it'll take you about 3000 properly conducted handgun shot repetitions to develop instant muscle memory accuracy.
That sounds like a lot, but listen: Herein lies the real beauty of this second part of the program.
See – rather than firing 3000 round of live ammunition at an approximate cost of $1200, and rather than paying for the dozens of hours of range time to allow for that practice, which costs another few hundred dollars, Master Handgun Accuracy makes it easy to develop INSTANT ACCURACY
without ever firing a single live round of ammunition
, or even leaving your house.
Excellent handgun accuracy depends on learning 7 Foundations of Handgun Accuracy, and training them enough to deposit them into your reflexive muscle memory.
This probably sounds too good to be true, but let me explain…
Part two leverages the revolutionary concept of
Dry-Fire Practice
. This is the simple act of cycling your slide and pulling the trigger on an empty chamber.
Now, I always lose a couple people here, because many of us were raised to believe that dry-firing a gun was bad for it.
"You'll bend the firing pin!" or "You'll wear your gun out!"
But the scientific truth is that for any modern center-fire handgun chambered in .32 caliber, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, or 10mm – manufactured since the 1960s –
dry-fire is completely safe and harmless to your gun
. In fact, it's a lot LESS stressful to your gun than firing live ammunition – and most guns are rated for at least 100,000 rounds of live firing.
This means you could probably dry-fire your handgun hundreds of thousands of times before any wear and tear became evident. And ALL of the most popular manufacturers that I'm aware of agree –
dry-fire is not bad for their guns
But even if it was? Becoming a phenomenal marksman while saving upwards of $2,000 in the process would still be an EXCELLENT trade-off, right?
"The ONLY way to get good with a handgun is PRACTICE. If someone is good, THEN they practiced. However: bad practice will only make you a bad shot."
In fact, the benefits of dry-fire practice go far above and beyond simply saving money and making handgun practice extremely convenient. Because of the way our brain is wired, dry-fire actually works to
condition away negative tendencies such as flinching or jerking your trigger
Now we'll talk about this more, but the bottom line is that dry-fire practice is so beneficial to your abilities as a handgun marksman that we'd recommend dry-fire above live-fire practice even if you have all the ammo and time you could ever want.
So that's how part two is going to give you INSTANT Accuracy without requiring you to spend a penny on ammunition.
Here's how disc 2 unfolds:
The second disc begins by giving you some powerful motivation that will drive home the importance of – and give you the energy to – make the small time investment needed to stick with the training regimens contained on this disc.
, you'll learn about the
mechanics of dry fire practice and of muscle memory
, and you'll learn not just the four rules of gun safety, but the important three-step process for setting up a safe dry fire training environment.
You'll also learn about a few inexpensive accessories that you can purchase to help ensure that your dry fire training experience is as safe as possible.
And then, we dive into the meat and potatoes of part two: our
six unique dry fire training regimens
. These are the dry fire training programs that you will simply navigate to on your DVD menu, and follow along with. You just do what I do – it's as easy as that!
They are each only about
eight minutes long
which makes them very easy to work into your schedule.
On this disc we give plenty of recommendations as to what sort of schedule and frequency to follow, but you can really go through these training regimens at your leisure. You can do them once per week, twice per week, five times per week, or twice a day every day – it's completely up to you. You set the pace.
You decide how good you want to become with your handgun, and how fast you want to get there
I've designed these six training regimens to be followed along with in a strategic order. For example, you might spend your first week following along with session Alpha – the first slow-paced regimen. And then the next week, you might step it up to session Bravo – which is the second regimen. You'll work your way up gradually to session number five and ultimately to number six.
Each of these training regimen sessions contains a unique and powerful bit of handgun accuracy instruction and wisdom.
You will be coached on your form, reminded of the dangers of moving too fast throughout your training, encouraged, and motivated to stick with these training sessions for however long becomes necessary. I promise you:
you won't get bored!
Now, once you've got a good start on part two regimens, it's time to move onto disc 3 in the program.
Disc 3
is where you will complete your handgun accuracy "Master's Degree" by learning all about how the various components and characteristics of all the different handguns out there increase or decrease their potential for accuracy.
We'll talk about what to look for in a handgun that will ensure you get one that's as accurate as possible. We'll discuss handgun characteristics such as handle lengths, grip textures, magazine extensions, trigger pull lengths and weights, trigger staging strategies, barrel lengths, sight radius lengths, and sight designs and configurations. By the time you finish, you'll be able to look at a handgun, handle it for a moment, dry fire it two or three times, and know almost exactly how accurate that handgun will be for you.
Next, we'll discuss handgun upgrades and modifications – the things we can change about our handguns that will affect their accuracy abilities – going into legalistic discussions on whether or not these are good ideas, or if they will increase either our liability, and the likelihood of paying dearly in court later on.
We'll also discuss how the various components of our own bodies affect our handgun accuracy – and how to strengthen certain parts of our bodies to boost our ability to fire a handgun accurately and
control our handgun during rapid firing
Then, we get into
injuries and disabilities
– the way disability and age affects our abilities to shoot handguns accurately. We talk about how and why we might need to adjust our expectations on what we consider to be good shooting, but also how to overcome disability and even leverage age and disability to our advantage to help us in our journeys as handgun marksmen.
The second half of the third part of the program is all about diagnostics. Learning how to troubleshoot bad groupings and bad accuracy, and learning how NOT to shoot a handgun. We go through each of the 7 Foundations of Handgun Accuracy and I demonstrate on camera the most common ways that people make mistakes in their shooting stances, platforms, and techniques.
"The real benefit of having developed INSTANT ACCURACY is the fact that you will be ready should your handgun ever need to be used for the purpose that it was made for: defending innocent lives."
This will be a dramatic help to you as you work to avoid committing these popular errors.
In addition to discussing these
25+ ways NOT to shoot a handgun
, we talk about the advantages and limitations of the increasingly popular
handgun accuracy diagnostic chart
. We talk about when this chart is useful, how to use it when it is useful, and of course when it falls short and should be avoided.
I realize this sounds like a lot to bite off, but I promise I've made it as
easy as possible for you
. This course is only
six hours
long – you will find my method of instruction to be very personal, warm, friendly, and entertaining. There is no ego here. No condescending machoism.
All I want is for you to become the handgun marksman that you have the potential of being. I want to take this journey with you, and become your favorite range partner in the process.
Let me finish the description of Master Handgun Accuracy by saying that we print the course on materials mostly made here in the United States,
…printed and assembled in Indiana, and we package all three discs in an extremely high-quality, glossy box set.
I've done my best to design a beautiful package that will be safe and sound on your library shelf for decades as you and your friends and loved ones refer back to it to continue your journey to becoming a master handgun marksman.
And as you'll soon see, it comes with an unlimited no-strings 100% lifetime refund guarantee.
How Much Does it Cost?
The simple fact is, we couldn't continue our mission here at Concealed Carry University if we didn't price our training programs fair for both of us. Each program requires a very significantThe simple fact is, we couldn't continue our mission here at Concealed Carry University if we didn't price our training programs fair for both of us. Each program requires a very significant investment in time and production as well.
That said, we absolutely believe in pricing them as competitively as possible. Generally, we can't have both high quality AND an affordable price, but our goal with all Concealed Carry University training curriculum is to put it within reach of all Armed Americans.
The regular price of the 6-hour, 3-Disc Master Handgun Accuracy training program is $127. That said, we're dropping it to our rock-bottom for the introduction of this powerful program for an investment of
$127 is not pocket-change. I respect this number, because I know you can buy a few boxes of ammunition for that. However: I promise you that you'll find this program to be worth 3x this number, and that your skill will increase FAR beyond the point of simply practicing more with live ammunition.
I stand behind Master Handgun Accuracy 100%
, and all the promises I've made about how this program will impact your life. And if you ever find that it hasn't helped you as much as I've said it would – or if you are unhappy with the program for any other reason, you need only send it back and we'll refund your every penny.

"In the past five years I have taken 22 live courses from Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, Rob Pincus, Michael Martin and others. I have watched over a dozen handgun video training courses and read many books. This DVD series is by far the best training of them all. …I could have shaved years off my training if only I had been taught what is contained in Master Handgun Accuracy at the beginning of my journey."
"I've been around firearms for over 60 years, 8 of which were in military service. My brother & I shoot handguns occasionally to help sharpen our defensive capability. Long story short, this 73 year old dog learned a lot about how to correct shooting mistakes and significantly improve accuracy. The tips on grip, stance, weak hand support & breathing really made a big difference in my accuracy & self defense confidence. At first it was difficult for this oldster to stay in a proper shooting position to practice dry fire but repetition cured that problem. Lesson learned, stick with it. Whether you're a youngster, oldster, in between or perhaps think you might know-it-all, my advice is to get this Master Handgun Accuracy Program and faithfully practice, step by step. You'll be pleasantly surprised at the improvement in your accuracy and self defense capability."
"Mr. Kilchermann has outdone himself with the Master Handgun Accuracy set. This set allowed me to take a giant step forward in speed and accuracy. Production value is top notch. You can practice right along with him, and turn the fairly complicated mental sequence of the draw, aim, and fire into pure muscle memory, requiring no conscious thought process. This is the best course out there."

Hum along to Ian Dury and the Blockheads Reason to be Cheerful as you peruse this weeks musings: a consideration of the many reasons we have to be angry and a but as well.
The world is not a nice place, even for the relatively affluent of the West. We struggle, we fall down, we lose, we win. And it seems to me we spend an inordinate amount of time being angry – sometimes with good reason and sometimes just because it seems the best emotional response.
So, to a list, something we haven't had for a bit: Reasons to be Angry
Rude people – in all bits of life, for no reason whatsoever – in the supermarket, on the bus, at work, spitting their nastiness at you without justification – taking their anger out on you
Public transport – for those who must rely on tubes, trains and busses to get around and suffer the rudeness of bus-drivers, ignorance of fellow passengers (shoving, loud music, smelly food, etc), regular delays, over-crowding, unexpected cancelations – yes, all round crappy service
People who don't read – no not people who can't read – but those who can and actually don't bother. You know, those who respond to your request, your email or letter and it's manifestly clear they haven't understood a thing because THEY HAVENT READ IT PROPERLY AT ALL – and you know once more how stupid most of the world is.
People who don't try, who don't have a go, those who give up at the first sign of a set back, who can't cope with any sort of criticism – yes, GCSE English students and your ilk, I am thinking of YOU.
People who bully, who crap on you for no reason other than they can and it makes them feel superior, even though they are the epitome of inferior. Their power and your powerlessness is the perfect recipe for anger.
People who lie, who can't tell the truth, who don't care about the truth, who deliberately dissemble and undermine the truth are truly rage makers. Yes, think politicians, CEO's – any bastard trying to cover their arse and put you off. Not to mention children who lie at the drop of a hat, even when they know that you know the truth!!
Politicians – please don't let me even begin on Michael Gove or Tony Abbott. God save us from democratically elected politicians who have no fucking idea about anything other than their own small world yet presume to lecture us because they think their position – which they owe to (some of) us – makes them somehow intelligent, all knowing and all powerful. At least we don't like in the Ukraine, Turkey or Syria, etc, so I guess that is some small consolation…
The treatment of women in an increasingly misogynistic, hard line religious extremist world is very good reason to be angry. For anyone who thinks the feminist fight is won you are being an idiotic ostrich, ignoring the atrocities and injustices perpetrated against ordinary women who simply want to be able to go to school, drive cars, marry at a decent age and not be the property of a man, be it their father or husband.
The power and greed of big corporations who are literally raping the planet – killing the bees, poisoning our water ways, ripping down our forests, killing our reefs, and then suing governments and not paying their fare share of taxes. Corporate greed is killing our planet.
The ever increasing divide between the rich and the poor – actually it's a gaping unbreachable chasm these days, as exemplified by the aforementioned politicians and corporate greed. Between them ordinary hard working people have been comprehensively screwed over.
But, stop now. You can't be angry all day – no it's Saturday and the weekend and it would be a waste to lose the day, the creeping warmth, in negative emotions, in the futility of anger. This is what I want you to do instead.
Join an organization that is trying to make a difference – WWF, Greenpeace, sign petitions, attend rallies – it is a way to channel negativity and feel you are not alone in your anger and outrage.
Do something that makes you feel good – get outside, in your garden, go for a walk, watch the rugby, have a big sleep in, read in bed all day.
Be with people you love – always the best cure – and make sure you laugh – a big babbling, effusive bubbling laugh that can't be stopped can cure anything.
Hug the things you love the most – you can't be angry snuggled up to the one(s) you love.
Smell something wonderful – grass, aromatic candles, your dog – smells do lovely things to the chemicals in your brain, so go ahead and sniff
And finally, when all else fails, eat some chocolate – of any description – especially Mars Bar Cheesecake! (Images courtesy of Private Collection)
