NEW YORK -- Early during Saturday night’s Big East final, Villanova took a hard punch, dusted itself off, and got back up off the mat. The initial response was everything you could hope for, but the Wildcats couldn’t quite finish the fight.
In an old school Big East slugfest played in front of a raucous Madison Square Garden crowd, powerful combo guard Isaiah Whitehead’s late three-point play gave Seton Hall its first Big East title since 1993. The No. 3 Pirates defeated No. 1 Villanova, 69-67:
“Great college basketball game, just awesome to be a part of it,” Jay Wright said after his team fell to 29-5 on the season. “The Garden was rocking. You know, we just got beat by a team that played better than us tonight. They played a great first half.”
Seton Hall led 40-29 at the break, and its first-half performance was spectacular. The Pirates got into passing lanes (seven steals), weren’t afraid to pull up for transition threes, and consistently took the Wildcats off the bounce once they got into their halfcourt offense. Led by Whitehead, who finished with 26 points and deservedly captured tournament MVP honors, the Pirates played fearless and free basketball:
(P.S. Gus Johnson rocks.)
“We definitely dug ourselves a hole in the first half,” Ryan Arcidiacono said. “They played really well. We didn’t execute our game plan.”
Villanova’s three-point shooting hovered around 17 percent into the second half, and you just figured that number would improve. You just figured the Wildcats had a run in them. And predictably, they were able to trim Seton Hall’s 11-point halftime lead to one with 12:24 left in the game.
From there, ‘Nova couldn’t find any separation as the teams sat on the seesaw. Looking back at past matchups, this was probably to be expected.
Seton Hall played the Wildcats tough a couple of times in the regular season (both ‘Nova wins), and the Pirates have made major improvements as the season went on. The teams’ series ended on January 20th, but Villanova’s coaching staff saw the development on film as the season moved along.
“When we watched films of other teams when we were preparing for Seton Hall, we kept saying these guys are getting better and better and better and better,” Wright said.
Kris Jenkins led the Wildcats with 23 points on 7-14 shooting, including this massive three (and no-call on the push-off):
After Whitehead’s basket with 18 seconds left put Seton Hall up one, Jenkins had a deep look at a three that didn’t go. Josh Hart got the offensive rebound, and he was hammered on the putback attempt. But the referees swallowed their whistles, and Seton Hall got its first title since 1993:
That no-call may wind up costing Villanova a number one seed in the NCAA Tournament. Wildcats could shift to the two line. Brutal.— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) March 13, 2016
To Villanova’s credit, they didn’t seem to be fixated on the blown call. Those things can happen in close games, and it was the Wildcats’ poor first half that had them into catch-up mode. Everyone had at least a small hand in the loss. Hart missed a couple of layups that he usually makes and coughed up a key late turnover, for example.
“It was a coin flip,” Hart said of the call. “Five seconds left, ball bouncing all over the place. If I was on the other team, I would want the ref to swallow the whistle.”
They did, and ‘Nova now has just a few days to recover from a crushing loss in what was a classic Big East final. The more important tournament will likely begin on Friday in Brooklyn for the Wildcats.
“We really spend a lot of time talking about how we handle situations,” Wright said. “You want to handle success with humility, and you want to handle failure with a positive attitude.”
“It’s been an unbelievable ride and definitely didn’t finish the way I wanted it to," Arcidiacono said after shooting 2-10 in his final Big East game. “I have one game left in my career, so hopefully I learn from it.”

Mignon’s & Urban Hillbilly boutique owner Melissa Grabois says it’s time to close the seven-year old store to focus on her family.
The store, which sits on the corner of Wilson’s Pike Circle and Church Street East, features boutique items such as jewelry, clothing and gifts. Its last day open will be Feb. 22.
Grabois has lived apart from her husband for the last 10 years. The Texas-native-turned-Brentwood-resident moved to Nashville with her daughter, Mignon Grabois, who followed a career as a singer/songwriter. Her husband stayed behind in Houston where he still works in the oil and gas industry.
“He’s been flying back and forth from Houston to Nashville on weekends,” Grabois said. “He doesn’t complain, but I’m sure after ten years, he’s probably tired of it.”
Now, she’s ready to be a more active participant in the time of huge transition happening in her family’s life. Grabois said her daughter is to be married in September, and there is much wedding planning to be done.
One of her sons will graduate from college in Texas this year and plans to move to California to pursue a career in film. Grabois says she wants to help him move. Another son works near Austin and one is soon to be a student at Ravenwood High School.
Another son, still, attends a performing arts high school in Houston. Grabois said she’s ready to see some of his many recitals, most of which she’s missed.
She also needs to be around her mother, who Grabois said is getting older.
“I just thought it was time to hang it up and hang out with my family,” Grabois said.
While Grabois turns the page on her time as a store owner, she’s more than ready for the next chapter.
And it sounds like those who may mourn the loss of the unique boutique experience won’t have to mourn long. Grabois said her longtime manager may just have her own plans for the space.

The US Marine Corps has awarded Harris Corporation a $75 million order to provide MUOS (Mobile User Objective System) narrowband satellite communication upgrades to the service’s Falcon III AN/PRC-117G manpack radio fleet.
Harris has continued to invest in the development and deployment of MUOS and other advanced waveforms to add capability to the widely deployed AN/PRC-117G family of radios, as well as its next generation of tactical radios.
As a software defined radio, the AN/PRC-117G was developed to be easily upgradable with new waveforms such as MUOS, enabling customers to increase capabilities economically.
The MUOS software upgrade will allow Marines to access the new, advanced MUOS satellite constellation that provides next-generation satellite communications, enabling them to talk and more easily share data anywhere in the world.
The AN/PRC-117G MUOS software upgrade will also provide the Marines with a greater number of SATCOM users, enhanced voice and data communication, and robustness in disadvantaged environments where they operate, such as urban and high/low latitude locations.
Dana Mehnert, President, Harris Communication Systems, said: “Adding this capability to the 117G will enable the Marines to leverage the proven radios they have already deployed, fought and trained with to access the advanced capabilities and capacity of the MUOS satellites with a simple software upgrade.
“The MUOS upgrade also will enable interoperability with other U.S. DOD and allied users who deploy this advanced capability in the future.”

From time to time the Babylonian Geonim were asked to express their attitude toward the status of piyyutim in prayers, and varied comments on the topic appear in their writings. One of the most important texts in this matter is a responsa by Rav Natronai Gaon (printed in Brody's edition, p. 135). The main part of the answer, quoted also by Rabbenu Gershom Me'or Hagolah, recognizes the legitimacy of integrating piyyutim into tefillat amida, provided that they satisfy certain halachic conditions that appear in other Geonic texts as well. The responsa ends by noting a certain piyyut (or piyyutim) that should not be recited at all, but since the identification of the piyyut (or piyyutim) is controversial, it is difficult to comprehend the meaning of the prohibition. An old-new identification of the forbidden piyyut, and a discussion of its unique meaning, is suggested in this short paper.

Merlin Entertainments Group has officially confirmed that the new LEGOLAND Florida theme park will officially open its doors on Saturday, October 15, 2011.
The company has released the new date to enable families to plan visits in advance, an important factor given that many visitors are likely to come from outside of the state. Located on a 150-acre site in Winter Haven, LEGOLAND Florida will feature more than 50 rides, shows and attractions. The park has released official preview video footage alongside the announcement, which is embedded below:
LEGOLAND Florida sales manager Todd Andrus explained the park's decision to reveal the opening date months in advance: "I’d estimate 80 percent of the inquiries we’ve received have been about our opening date. Guests are all but begging to know the date, so they can book their flights and accommodations, and purchase admission tickets."
In addition to revealing the date, LEGOLAND Florida has also launched its official online reservation system. This enables guests to book tickets, accommodation, airlines and rental cars directly through the park's website in advance of their visit. The "Bed & Brick" program will see the park officially endorse 13 preferred hotels in Central Florida that can be booked via the website.
The new park will be located on the site of Cypress Gardens, which was purchased by Merlin Entertainments Group for $22.3 million in January 2010. Several areas from the Cypress Gardens park will become part of LEGOLAND Florida, although all will be extensively rethemed and updated to suit the park's target audience of families with 2-12 year-old children.
You can find details of the lands that will make up the new park in Theme Park Tourist's recent overview over LEGOLAND Florida's attractions.
You can keep up to date with the latest confirmed and rumored opening dates for new attractions through Theme Park Tourist's "New Attraction Watch" section, and by signing up for our weekly newsletter.

Like Mother, Like Daughter
By Staff Sgt. Robin Olsen, JFHQ
/ Published April 23, 2010
Nashville -- It is not uncommon for children to follow in their parent's footsteps and join the military. However, a parent enlisting their child into the military is something quite special and one Tennessee mother has done it twice.
Mt. Juliet native Maj. Lawana Nelson, Director of Personnel at the 118th Airlift Wing, raised her right hand in front of the American flag to recite the Oath of Office for her daughter to repeat, officially swearing Lauren into the Air National Guard April 20.
"I almost started to cry," said Nelson after she administered the oath. "This is a life-changing event for Lauren." She also enlisted her son, Robert Lavery III, into the Active Duty Air Force in 2006. He is currently a Senior Airman serving as an aircraft maintenance specialist at Hurlburt Field, Fla.
The family has a long military history. Besides her mother and her brother, Lauren Lavery's step-grandfather, Roy Jones, retired from the 118th Transportation Squadron, part of the Airlift Wing. Her dad, Robert Lavery Jr., retired from the Active Duty Air Force and her step-father, Lt. Col. Ken Jones, is a member of the Tennessee National Guard Joint Force Headquarters in Nashville.
Enlisted members are required to have an officer administer their enlistment oath for initial enlistments and re-enlistments. For most, it is a commander or local officer at the unit, but for Nelson's children, it was her.
Lauren does not yet have a date for basic training, but she will be working in personnel like her mother.
"Mom had somewhat of an influence on my decision to join the Guard. I've been around it ever since I was born, so it's already been a part of my life," said Lauren. "She helped me understand what career field would best fit me without pressuring me."
"I joined for the college benefits. All of my family supports my decision in joining," she said. The 19-year-old is currently attending Trevecca Nazarene University and is majoring in Elementary Education.
Lauren's twin sister, Meagan, is currently attending Cumberland University and is also considering joining the Guard
Nelson has served 27 years in the military so far, 14 on Active Duty as an explosive ordinance disposal specialist and an air traffic controller; and 13 years in the National Guard.
Her first duty station was at Hill Air Force Base in Utah, where all three of her children were born. During her career, she has been stationed in Turkey, Oklahoma and Mississippi. She joined the Tennessee Air National Guard in 1997 and was commissioned in 1999.

Since Mark Waid took the reins of the rebooted Daerdevil title, the stories have felt much fresher than those that came directly before it, as the entire tone and sensibility of the book and the character have changed. It’s a pleasant change after years mired in a crime noir sensibility, which although immensely entertaining, felt like too much after a certain point in time. Mark Waid has managed to bring Daredevil back to his swashbuckling roots without forgetting where the character has been since then, and how to make it all make sense without ignoring continuity. It’s to Waid’s credit that this book is a fun read, which has fun with Matt Murdock and the way he carries himself.
If there’s anything bad about this collection, which reprints Daredevil #11-#15, Avenging Spider-Man #6 and Punisher #10, it’s that as a result of my picking up Punisher by Greg Rucka Volume 3 last month, three of the comics reprinted in this volume I already have elsewhere. On the one hand, it’s nice that there are multiple ways of getting this storyline, so that if you’re a Punisher fan you can just buy your Punisher trades, and if you’re a Daredevil fan you can buy this trade, but when you’re a fan of both you end up paying for the storyline twice. That being said, the opening storyline in this collection, The Omega Effect, is a fun one that teams up Spider-Man, Daredevil, Punisher and his partner Rachel Cole-Alves, as they are beset on all sides by foes of Daredevil looking to acquire the
. The storyline ostensibly is more of a Daredevil one, at least on paper, as he’s the inciting incident behind everything occurring, but when you actually read the story, it’s more of a Punisher story, or rather the story of Rachel Cole-Alves. In that case, it fits a bit better in the Punisher collection, as the storyline means more for those characters. As it is, the storyline ends with Daredevil in the exact same situation as he was when the storyline started, which is a bit irksome, whereas Punisher and Rachel Cole-Alves have a different end point from where they were when they entered into the storyline. The storyline is illustrated by Marco Checchetto, one of the regular artists on Punisher, and it’s quite a solid outing. As the story itself is more straight forward and action-oriented than Daredevil has typically been, the artistic change felt appropriate, as despite my love of Samnee’s artwork, he would not have been the right choice for a storyline like Omega Effect.
The rest of the collection is delightful, with the highlight being issue #12, which has Matt Murdock going on a date with an Assistant DA who is convinced that he’s lying about being Daredevil. The issue is charming, and tells a nice story of Foggy and Matt’s early years. I like seeing stories that emphasize the history and friendship between the two, not to mention the teamwork, and this story had this in spades. The artwork by Samnee was quite inspired as well, as he maintains the same visual sensibility in this book that Rivera and Martin imbued within it when they launched the series with Mark Waid. In issues #13-#15, the Omega Drive plot element is tied up with an interesting fight sequence with an “only in comics” reveal, followed-up by Daredevil being whisked away to Latveria, where he must try to escape without the benefit of his enhanced senses.
This is a great new collection of Daredevil stories, and one that I wholeheartedly recommend. It’s a fun read, and it also sets up future storylines in the Daredevil title, such as what does Foggy Nelson find in Matt’s desk, and what’s up with Foggy’s health. The latter wasn’t something I really noticed or thought anything of when I first read the single issues, but now that I’ve read further down the line I’m impressed with how Mark Waid was seeding a plot point earlier than I realized. This book is a wonderful work all around, a great read.

Online Poker in India is getting extremely popular these days. Poker indeed is one of the simplest card games online but to achieve long-term success, it is necessary to constantly work on improving your techniques and strategy. Your excitement, nervousness, or impatience can cost you lots of chips or even your complete game. On many instances, we have seen experienced players doing silly mistakes just because of diverted attention or lack of strategic gameplay.
Here are some of the most common Poker mistakes to avoid in order to improve your chances to win the game.
Reluctance in folding
The most common mistake Poker players making is delaying in folding cards in the early stages of the game. Start evaluating all possibilities of creating the best 5-card combination as soon as you get the hole cards in your hand. Folding is the best option if the pod odds are not in your favor. It does not mean to play restless or be impatient. Take your own time to analyze the probabilities and then make your move accordingly.
Lack of observation
Always pay attention to your opponent’s gameplay. Keep a close eye on his facial expressions or change in body language during the betting rounds. When you play online, you can do your analysis by observing his playing style and betting pattern. By observing his behavior, you can predict how much he is interested in playing the hand and how he is going to make his next move.
Lack of Practice
Another common mistake Poker players do is start playing on cash tables without adequate knowledge and experience. You are playing with real stakes so it’s mandatory to earn necessary skills and expertise to save maximum points. To understand the techniques and “ know-hows ” , you can play free poker games with practice chips online. Playing on your own is a great way to get valuable insights into the game and experience of the competitive environment of a Poker table in real-time.
Your position (where you sit in relation to the dealer and other players) on the table is one of the most important aspects of the game. The decision to play a hand must always be based on your position in a hand. When you play out of position, you have to make your move before most of your fellow players who can predict the strength of your hand and create a game-plan accordingly. So, it is crucial to play tight only with strong hands from early position. But many players unintentionally ignore this critical aspect of the game and play with any type of starting hands without paying attention to the sitting arrangement. Late position is considered the most preferred position to play as you can take a calculated decision on the basis of your observation of your opponents’ actions.
Start keeping track of the hands you played to find out the strong and weak spots in your game. Many highly skilled pros fall short of success due to the mistakes they made due to their ignorance and misconceptions. If you really want to make it big in the world of Poker, make sure to employ critical thinking, planning, patience, and discipline in your game. In a nutshell, constant assessment of your gameplay is essential to avoid making irrational decisions that can lead you to losses.

This book was amazingly Solid. It is written by the bassists of Russian circles. The book deals with people who all have heavy emotional baggage. It isn't a story that has a happy ending or a sad ending. You go through the inner thoughts of the characters as they deal with the world they all see as bull shit in some ways.The event that creates the interaction between them is life changing. If you have ever had a friend you now can't stand or nights of self doubt this book is very relatable. I highly recommend reading it. Being two hundred pages it isn't long. I wasn't able to read it all at once because the narration is just that brutal.

We studied the formation of representations of children faces observed by adult subjects. Adult participants (aged between 18 and 22) evaluate tenseness and activity of the children aged from 3 to 6 years. We tested the hypothesis of interaction between the perceived individual psychological characteristics of a person and the features of his face. It was discovered that a child’s activity estimate is connected to his/her facial angle between eye pupils and the upper lip. Children with a smaller middle part of the face and smaller distance between eyes are assessed as being more tense that the rest of the sample group. Tense expressions on children’s faces are associated with some faint traces of fear and anger.

Are you looking for the perfect 5400 computer drive to enhance your computing experience? With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to find the right one that fits your needs. Fear not! In this blog post, we’ll help you refine your search results by choosing a subject for your keyword. But wait, there’s more! We’ll also uncover 7 surprising facts about the invention of the 5400 computer drive and debunk 5 common misconceptions about this type of technology. Is it really worth paying top dollar for a 5400 computer drive? Let’s delve into the details and find out together.
What is a 5400 Computer Drive?
While today we take computer drives for granted, they are actually a relatively new invention. The first computer drive was created in the early 1950s by IBM. This early model was large and expensive, and it wasn’t until the 1970s that computer drives became more affordable and widely available.
So what is a computer drive? Basically, it is a storage device that allows you to save data and files on your computer. This data can be accessed quickly and easily, which makes drives an essential part of any modern computer. There are different types of drives available, including hard drives, SSDs, and flash drives. Hard drives are the most common type of drive, and they store data on spinning disks. SSDs are newer and faster than hard drives, but they typically cost more. Flash drives are smaller than other types of drives and use flash memory to store data.
Now that you know a little bit more about computer drives, you can decide if they are worth the price. In general, they are a necessary part of any modern computer system and are well worth the investment.
The Different Types of 5400 Computer Drives
The 5400 computer drive was invented in the early 1970s and has been refined over the years to become one of the most popular drives on the market. There are three main types of 5400 drives: the hard disk drive (HDD), the solid state drive (SSD), and the hybrid drive (HHD).
The HDD is the traditional type of drive that uses spinning disks to store data. HDDs are typically cheaper than SSDs and have larger storage capacities, but they are also slower and more prone to failure.
The SSD is a newer type of drive that uses flash memory to store data. SSDs are much faster than HDDs but are more expensive and have smaller storage capacities.
The HHD is a combination of an HDD and an SSD. HHDs have the speed of an SSD with the large storage capacity of an HDD. However, HHDs are also more expensive than either HDDs or SSDs.
The Pros and Cons of a 5400 Computer Drive
The 5400 computer drive is a type of external hard drive that is often used by businesses and individuals who need to store large amounts of data. There are many benefits to using a 5400 computer drive, including the fact that they are very reliable and offer a high degree of security. However, there are also some drawbacks to using this type of drive, including the fact that they can be quite expensive.
One of the biggest advantages of using a 5400 computer drive is that they are extremely reliable. This is due to the fact that they use a higher quality mechanism than other types of external hard drives. Additionally, the casing on these drives is usually made from metal or aluminum, which helps to protect the data stored on them from damage.
Another benefit of using a 5400 computer drive is that they offer a high degree of security. This is because the data stored on these drives is encrypted, making it very difficult for anyone who does not have the proper key to access it. Additionally, most 5400 computer drives come with a password protection feature, which further enhances security.
However, one of the main disadvantages of using a 5400 computer drive is that they can be quite expensive. The price of these drives can range anywhere from several hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars, depending on the size and features offered. Additionally, if you need to purchase multiple drives for different computers, the cost can quickly add up.
What are the Most Common Misconceptions About This Type of Drive?
There are many misconceptions about computer drives, and this can lead to people feeling hesitant about purchasing one.
Here are some of the most common misconceptions:
1. Computer drives are expensive
This is one of the most common misconceptions about computer drives. While it is true that they can be more expensive than a traditional hard drive, the price difference is not as significant as many people believe. Additionally, the benefits of a computer drive often outweigh the cost, making it a worthwhile investment.
2. Computer drives are difficult to install
Another common misconception is that computer drives are difficult to install. However, this is not the case. In most cases, installation is relatively simple and can be done by following the instructions included with the drive.
3. Computer drives are unreliable
Another common misconception is that computer drives are unreliable. However, this is not necessarily true. While there may be some instances where a computer drive fails, this is typically due to user error or a hardware issue unrelated to the drive itself.
How to Choose the Right One for You
There are many different types of computer drives on the market, and it can be difficult to know which one is right for you.
Here are some things to consider when choosing a computer drive:
-What is your budget? Computer drives can range in price from around $50 to over $200.
-How much storage space do you need? Computer drives typically come in sizes ranging from 500GB to 2TB.
-What type of interface do you need? The most common types of interfaces are SATA and USB 3.0.
-What other features are important to you? Some computer drives come with features like password protection and encryption.
The 5400 computer drive is an amazing invention that has revolutionized the way we store, access and share data. Although there are many misconceptions about this type of drive, with a bit of research and education it’s easy to discover all the potential benefits associated with using this technology. We’ve highlighted some of the most important facts about the 5400 computer drive in this article, so hopefully you now have enough information to make an informed decision when considering whether or not to invest in one.

SOARING numbers of men are seeking help for eating disorders with cases up by almost half in two years, figures reveal.
Experts warn social media and growing pressure to look good are fuelling mental health problems.
And they claim too few men are getting help for illnesses such as anorexia and bulimia.
New figures uncovered by BBC Panorama show between 2014 and 2016, the number of men referred for eating disorder treatment has risen 43 per cent to 871 cases.
The disease has the highest death rate of any mental health illness.
But the latest figures are just the tip of the iceberg, with 400,000 men and boys thought to be affected.
Eating disorder charity B-eat agrees the true number is likely to be much higher.
Several high profile sports people have now spoken out about their struggles with mental health and body image.
International rugby referee Nigel Owens revealed his struggle with bulimia.
Speaking on Panorama, which will air this evening, he said he first developed the disorder aged 19, adding: “I was fat, I was overweight, obese in my eyes.
“I started making myself ill, I wanted to lose weight so I’d go to the toilet and I’d make myself sick pretty much nearly every meal.”
Eating disorders in men are often described as ‘underdiagnosed, undertreated and misunderstood’B-eat spokesman
Male athletes are 16 times more likely to develop an eating disorder in comparison to normal blokes, research reveals
Experts said the pressure to maintain their appearance and perform may put them at greater risk of mental health struggles.
A spokesman for B-eat said anyone can be affected by an eating disorder.
It estimates around one in four cases are in men.
KNOW THE SIGNS What is anorexia, what are the signs, symptoms and treatment – and does it affect men?
The charity said the rise in numbers seeking help may be a result of greater awareness.
Its spokesman said: “We know that eating disorders can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or background, but the risk is highest for young men and women between 13 and 17 years of age.
“Stereotypically eating disorders are seen as a ‘female disease’ and we work hard to discourage this misunderstanding.

“Eating disorders in men are often described as ‘underdiagnosed, undertreated and misunderstood’.
“Despite the lack of research, there is good evidence that there is a much greater proportion of males with eating disorders not receiving treatment, than the proportion who are able to access specialist eating disorders services.
“This discrepancy seems to have led to considerable underestimates about the prevalence of eating disorders in males.”
Last month a mum whose daughter battled anorexia warned other parents of the “warped Instagram underworld” promoting eating disorders among vulnerable teenagers.
Nicola Dye said the dangerous online community – made up of mainly young girls – encourages other young people to starve themselves.

Come the noon of night two drunken lovers sway
Laughing with the moon and begging her to stay
Hear the distant sound of dancing on they follow
Easy comes today and easy goes tomorrow.
See the flying feet of Tom the mischief-maker
See the graceful turns of Bella Brown the baker
See the drunken lads, see the drunken lasses
Dance ‘The Dusty Miller’ ’til the moonlight passes.
Hear the fiddler’s tune the gentle breezes carry
With the pipes and drums that echo down the valley
On and on they dance until the sun discovers
In each others arms entwine to sleeping lovers
Let the dancers dance while ever they are able
To the finest fiddle made of finest maple
To the burning bow that’s made of finest willow
Feet will leave the floor ’til head will meet the pillow.

The wife of a motorist killed in a crash has told the lorry driver who collided with him it was not his fault.
Alexander Ridge, 40, of Union Street, Farnborough, was struck by a passing HGV as his car tried to exit a junction at Bullington Cross, near Winchester, on September 5 2013.
He was attempting to turn right onto the busy road and pulled out of the junction in his silver Dodge Nitro but collided with Matthew Hill, who was driving a DAF lorry pulling an Eddie Stobart trailer. Mr Ridge died instantly from head injuries.
Mr Hill, from Willenhall, had just finished a job in Andover and was heading eastbound along the A303 on his way to Totton, near Southampton, when he collided with Mr Ridge.
Another driver, Rodger Steadman from Ottershaw, was driving a 26-tonne rigid lorry behind Mr Ridge's 4x4.
Giving evidence at an inquest into Mr Ridge's death, at Southampton Coroner's Court, on Tuesday May 27, he said: "I was behind the gentleman in the 4x4 and we were waiting at the same junction.
"It is not the best of junctions to pull out of because it is deceiving and there was a queue of traffic down the slip road.
"I'm not sure if it was a lack of concentration, but when he pulled out the writing was on the wall.
"An accident was going to happen - the lorry was never going to stop in time.
"Even if the driver was in a sports car he would not have made it - never mind a 4x4."
Mr Hill said he slammed on his brakes as soon as he saw Mr Ridge's vehicle move, but it was too late.
Coroner Grahame Short recorded a verdict of accidental death and described Mr Ridge's injuries as 'terrible'.
He said: "Mr Ridge was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and I have come to the conclusion this was a result of a human act.”
Mr Ridge's wife, Tammy, also attended the inquest and wept as she spoke to Mr Hill after the hearing had finished.
Speaking outside the courtroom she said: "Whenever you get into a car you are putting yourself in immediate danger because a vehicle is something which can kill you.
"The only reason I came here was to speak to Mr Hill - I wanted to make sure he knows we do not blame him for what happened.
"It was not his fault and because he drives for a living I did not want him to feel guilty and for his work to suffer.
"As a family we are satisfied with the inquest."

A former nuclear and rocket engine testing site, which sits in the hills above San Fernando and Simi valleys, became a topic of discussion on Twitter after celebrity Kim Kardashian West called for a cleanup of the area.
Kardashian shared with her 58 million followers Thursday that she was “shocked and furious” to learn that the Woolsey fire, which threatened her Calabasas home, started at the former nuclear testing site and is “potentially radioactive.”
Shocked & furious to learn smoke from the #WoolseyFire started at former nuclear testing site, Santa Susana Field Lab, & is potentially radioactive. Sign now to demand that incoming governor @GavinNewsom gets this site cleaned up: https://t.co/3t11HgQbOK
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) November 15, 2018
RELATED STORY: Concerned about cancer risks from Cold War era, parents, residents rally to clean-up Santa Susana Field Lab
The celebrity’s sister, Kourtney Kardashian, echoed her concerns.
“Our family lives only 20 miles from a nuclear disaster site, Santa Susana Field Lab, and we didn’t even know it. We need Gavin Newsom to do something,” Kardashian tweeted Thursday.
But the contaminated 2,900-acre site is well known to San Fernando Valley residents.
Nearly 490,000 people signed a petition on Change.org, started by West Hills resident Melissa Bumstead whose daughter Grace has twice survived leukemia. The girl is one of 50 children within 20 miles of the site with cancer, a product, some residents say, of an era of nuclear research and rocket engine testing that left a tragic imprint in the area.
The lab appeared on the map in the 1940s, and about two decades later it became the site of a partial meltdown accident that left the area polluted with radioactive and chemical contamination.
RELATED STORY: Parents of children with cancer push state to clean up Santa Susana Field Lab
The United States Department of Energy and NASA signed an agreement in 2010, promising to remove all contamination from the site by 2017. The state’s Department of Toxic Substance Control, or DTSC, asked Boeing, which owns a portion of the area, to commit to its own cleanup.
About a year after the deadline, the companies still have not cleaned the area. Now, Bumstead and other parents worry that their families are being exposed to carcinogenic chemicals.
The Woolsey fire, which started near the former Rocketdyne site, has amplified those concerns.
“DTSC repeatedly minimizes risk from SSFL and has broken every promise it ever made about the SSFL cleanup,” Bumstead wrote in a statement. “Communities throughout the state have also been failed by DTSC. The public has no confidence in this troubled agency.”
Abbott Dutton, a spokeswoman for DTSC, wrote in an email that the agency’s experts accessed the site last Saturday to inspect damage caused by the fire.
“We confirmed that the SSFL facilities that previously handled radioactive and hazardous materials were not affected by the fire,” Dutton wrote. “Over the weekend our multi-agency team took measurements of radiation and hazardous compounds, both on the site and in the surrounding community. The results from this initial round of testing showed no radiation levels above background levels, and no elevated levels of hazardous compounds other than those normally present after a wildfire.”
But Bumstead was skeptical about the test results.
“I was outraged to learn that DTSC and other agencies are telling everyone there’s no risk, and then we find out they haven’t even received many of the test results,” she wrote in an email. “DTSC and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health should not make assurances when they don’t have the data and won’t release whatever measurements they may have taken.”

Today I want to talk about something that I feel that is very important, its cholesterol and bodybuilding. I want to dig into this. Bad cholesterol, also known as LDL. When it’s too high, it can actually block blood flow in your arteries to your brains which can actually lead to a stroke which can lead to a heart attack. What you really want to do is try to lower your LDL. You want to take a look at what you are eating and things on your diet that can be contributing to a high LDL. You really want to eat foods that would encourage high HDL or good cholesterol.
High HDL is actually good for your health and it lowers LDL. It does a couple of things for you. You’ll be surprised. I was looking at the foods that I was eating. I was eating bags of precooked chicken breasts and I didn’t realize that I was eating about 8oz of chicken with every meal. I had about 50% of the recommended daily allowance of cholesterol. Actually, I don’t really have a clue. Its grilled chicken, how much is freaking cholesterol in grilled chicken. But unfortunately, I had a lot man. Then I started looking at some other different types of cholesterol.
What I like to do is break down couple of foods that are high in bad cholesterol that will contribute to an unhealthy heart. Then I want to go on a couple of foods that will actually raise HDL and lower your LDL.
You’ll be surprised. Some protein powders do have a significant amount of cholesterol in it. Especially weight gainers, it typically has a significant amount of cholesterol in there. Not all whey proteins so take a look and do your research before you make a buy if you are looking to lower your bad cholesterol.
Shrimp is horrible in cholesterol. Cheese is horrible. Egg yolks, they say 1 a day is good. But who wants 1 egg yolk a day? Usually, you want 3-5 eggs but too many egg yolks are not good. Butter is not good. Fast food and processed meat or foods are not good. Also liver, it’s like pure cholesterol. Saturated fats actually contribute to high bad cholesterol and also dairy products. The whole idea is to try to avoid too much of it for sure.
Some ways that you can actually raise your HDL and lower you LDL is to take fish oil. Salmon, Omega 3 fatty acids, as a bodybuilder you should really consider thinking about supplementing good fish oil. Taking moderate alcohol consumption is also good. Maybe a glass of wine a night can actually raise your HDL.
Monounsaturated fats are so good for you. It’s good for raising your HDL. Olives, almonds, avocados also the fats in peanut butter things like that.
Fiber is pretty cool with cholesterol. It soaks up cholesterol kinda like a sponge. It soaks up that LDL or bad cholesterol. Cranberry juice is also actually good at raising your HDL. Lastly, of course, start working out. Doing your exercise is gonna keep your heart healthy and keep a good HDL level.
Your total cholesterol should be under 200. So when you get your blood work done which I admonish you to do at least once a year. They’re gonna show you all these HDL, LDL, cholesterol and here are the numbers you should be considering.
HDL or good cholesterol should be over 60 and LDL or bad cholesterol should be less than a 100. That is a healthy heart ratio. You want to be at around 4.0 area of the ratio of cholesterol versus bad cholesterol.

In 2014, a game studio based in Cape Town, South Africa, created the most American game ever. With an incredibly large roster of action heroes from action movies we all know and love, as well as Cherry Broling, Broforce finally filled that crazy crossover game we all imagined as kids. And it was brilliant. It left many fans starving for a Broforce sequel.
With destructible environments, a decent number of enemies and bosses and many, many diverse stages, Broforce dragged you to hell and made you love every bit about it. Cooperative was even better, because up to four players were able to fill this gap. 4 players raining destruction over their enemies and often themselves. This game was so good that even today people are still playing it. So, many are those fans wondering, will there be a sequel?
Broforce had a very, very replayable campaign with several levels of difficulty and even an ironman (Ironbro) mode along with a versus mode. And that was just the base game. Mixing the good bits of Contra, Metal Slug and other classics with a bunch of cool action characters turned out to be an explosive idea. The game was so fun that it managed to leave fans thirsting for more.
Broforce’s Last Cartridges
Broforce had several major final updates that added more content before it went silent. This includes the 4th July update and the Lightning Strikes Twice update, which added not one but TWO lightning-spewing Christopher Lamberts which increased the already humongous available bros. It was shortly after that Bro Lee (Bruce Lee) and Tank Bro (Tank Girl) appeared as the last heroes to come for this game. But the best part about these updates were the silent heroes doing the bug-fixing for an already fairly polished game and their level editor. This allowed some gamers to create some of the best maps I’ve ever seen. Maps like Elevators or Unrest will add extra unique challenges that will fit in Broforce‘s wacky universe. These are two out of hundreds of maps made by fans and gamers who wanted more content.
Not for Now, Bros… But There’s More Fun to Be Had
Sadly, the studio in charge of Broforce has not announced anything regarding Broforce yet. However, there’s a bright side about this. The studio has also produced other gems like the VR title GORN and the infamously fun Genital Jousting. They clearly haven’t lost their mojo and should they reveal anything regarding Broforce or even a spiritual sequel you can rest assured: it’s bound to be great!
What We Could Be Seeing in a Broforce Sequel
Perhaps in a Broforce 2 mod we could be seeing more reskinned or different types of enemies, and more small gimmicks that add quantity to the quality we got with the first game. But maybe what would greatly benefit the game is the ability to reskin or create your own modded bros. I’m sure a great many people would have loved to play as “Brondie” from “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”, or Bro Vader from a Galaxy far away. The Brovengers a reskin of all the bros with the 46 presidents of the U.S. are some of the craziest ideas… that nevertheless could have worked. Those are only a few suggestions from the lots and lots of fan requests, some of which made it into the game already! What would you like to see in a Broforce sequel? Post your brilliant ideas below!

Lord Lieutenant in round of visits to commend Moray firms for efforts during pandemic
Get a digital copy of the Forres Gazette delivered straight to your inbox every week
MORAY'S Lord Lieutenant urged local businesses to keep up the good work yesterday in morale-boosting visits to thank them for their efforts during the pandemic.
Major General Seymour Monro stopped off at three Speyside firms on Tuesday, October 20, including distillation equipment world leader Forsyths Ltd in Rothes and later the biomass-fired combined heat and power plant, Rothes CoRDe.
An office call with Walkers Shortbread owner, Jim Walker, in Aberlour, was the last stop of the day.
Maj Gen Monro thanked the businesses for their resilience and ingenuity in handling the difficulties thrown at them by the coronavirus pandemic throughout most of 2020.
He felt moved to personally show gratitude for the way firms had adapted and evolved and for looking after their staff through difficult times.
Maj Gen Monro said: "I had a tremendous learning day and was fascinated by what I heard from all three businesses.
"I saw the very best of Moray enterprise and quality craftsmanship.
"I think it's only right that the Lord Lieutenant is seen to be learning more about Moray's fantastic businesses to be able to act as an ambassador and to highlight these wonderful firms and their workforces."
At Forsyths he learned about its global involvement in the design and manufacture of equipment for the oil and gas industry as well as for distilling, and how the company is embracing new methods of production.
Forsyths has nine fabrication facilities spread over three sites in the north-east, at Rothes, Buckie and Dyce.
Maj Gen Monro added: "At the head of it all is Richard Forsyth, recently awarded an OBE, which is a hugely well-deserved honour and speaks volumes for Forsyths as a company."
The Rothes CoRDe plant is fuelled by wet draff from 17 local distilleries which is mixed with wood chips. As well as producing liquid animal feed – pot ale syrup – its renewable energy powers 7000 homes.
Maj Gen Monro said: "It's a wonderful plant using by-products from distilleries and sawmills. It's a hugely sustainable, cost-effective enterprise, operating 365 days a year, 24/7. I really was impressed."
Although the Lord Lieutenant couldn't access the Walkers Shortbread factories due to Covid-19 restrictions, he learned from Mr Walker about the wide array of goodies in production as the business ramps up for Christmas.
This month Walkers paid back £1.35 million furlough cash it had received from the UK Government's coronavirus job retention scheme. Maj Gen Monro described the gesture as "a very honourable act".
Maj Gen Monro added: "None of the three businesses has had to say goodbye to anyone – they're still operating with their full workforce. I was hugely impressed.
"They are outstanding examples of Moray enterprise."
The Lord Lieutenant hopes to extend thanks to more local firms, large and small, during further visits in the last half of November.

This ergonomically designed Smith & Wesson liner lock is designed for ultimate control and cutting power in any situation.
This is an excellent karambit, it is small, easily maneuverable, and fits my hand perfectly. I can not think of a better deal for the money.
The knife is very easy to open, especially with one hand (use your thumb on the side of it and slide it up). It's not bulky but nor is it small, it is the perfect size for anyone and anything. Great for opening packages (and scaring your siblings). If there was a time that I would have to use it as self defense, I would surely be in good hands. The knife also has a pocket clip, that way it stays safe and secure within your pocket. Highly recommend!
The knife is very well made and tight. It has a nice weight to it for the size. That being said the size is very nice. I am a 6'4 245lb man and it fits my hand very well (both forward and inverted grip). I used it at work and it is very useful for cutting pallet wrap/ straps. It also cuts through cardboard like butter. I try to be discreet with it simply because of the inherent menacing look of karambits, even though it has been very useful for very practical purposes. Hopefully I'll never have to find out, but should I need to use it for self defense, it feels as though it would be an excellent tool for the task. The look of it would be daunting for all but the most intrepid attackers. Again, I am a 6' 4" 245lb ex football player/ boxing enthusiast and if a 100lb woman pulled this thing on me I'd run for it. One tip: USE THE POCKET CLIP...it opened in my pocket once but I'm still giving it 5 stars because it was due to me being a reckless idiot. Amazed by the quality of this very affordable knife.
First purchase from BUDK, the knife was everything as advertised. More purchases to come. Thanks BUDK
This knife comes very sharp right out of the box. I was actually able to shave my arm with the knife. Intimidating looking and a well made knife for sure.
I bought 5 karambits and some of them are more expensive than 80 dollars, but I am proudly announcing that this one is the best one ! Feels like a 100 dollar knife and is razor sharp 10/10 would buy again.
This knife is awesome once Yoe you play around with it and find ways to open it faster because it is slow on the draw, its some why difficult to open, though it is my EDC and I do play with it every day when ever I get a chance its fun to twirl just watch out I have cut myself doing this
This knife is excellent. The only true way to know when a knife is sharp is if you can shave your face with it. This knife was so sharp, it gave me a clean shave. I definitely plan to order more from this website. 10/10
The knife is awesome and the price makes it even better. It has excellent weight and very smooth opening and the knife is very well made.
the knife came early even though there was ice everywhere. and when it did it was very sharp and felt very sturdy
Great knife for the money! The finger hole is a good size, especially for someone like me with a large hand and fingers.(many karambit styles don't fit my hand from this reason) Smooth opening, good lock up from the alloy frame! slimline, fits in the pocket well. Easy to sharpen and holds a razor sharp edge with a little stone work. I also like the subdued camo print on the knife. I like it well enough, I bought a second to do a little custom work to open it with a wave feature. All in all, great little karambit for the money.
Gave this as a stocking stuffer to my son. He set aside his usual S&W specops folder and now carries this. It is a superb defensive weapon. Bang for the buck makes this an excellent choice.
This is a very solid and sturdy Karambit. I've had mine for several months now and it still locks into place tight with no movement. It's starting to dull a little but that is to be expected with cutting bundle straps on a regular basis. Overall it has held it's edge very well.
When I bought the knife I was expecting to be disappointed, not this time. The blade was not very sharp but about ten minutes with a small stone and it was razor sharp. Even though it was made in China it is a solid, well built knife. Once sharpened it stays sharp. Will buy more for my sons and grandsons.
Fantastic blade and light weight, I don't leave the house without it! I would highly recommended this to anyone.
High quality, camo paint come off lightly (had it 6+ months paint hasnt chipped). I've had no problems with it at all. I absolutly recommend buying this knife if you're looking for a great collectors piece or self defense tool.
Straight out of the box this knife was every bit worth the price I paid. From sharpness to functionality to quality, this knife is an unbelievably well crafted tool. I am an avid knife collector and I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this karambit from Smith & Wesson. Best purchase I've made in a while.
I bough this off my buddy who bught it off this site and i was skeptical about a karambit but after holding it and playing with I must say this is a great knife and is built very solid and the colors are great.
First of all, the camouflage on it is amazing. The hand hold is the best I've ever experienced, even when reversed. Its a step ahead of most other knives with the material. Light weight and strong. This karambit should be listed in the $80-$100 range.
The other Smith and Wesson Kerambit is one of my favorite knives so had to try this one as I prefer the blade curve on this model. Once the blade is open the knife is fantastic. Lost one star because it is much slower to open and close. Hopefully more breaking in and tinkering will sort it out because this is a knife that I want to love, but as is I only like it. I can open it one handed, but there is enough drag on the action that I can't "flick" it I have to pivot it all the way open with my thumb. It is also fairly difficult to release the liner lock to close but I definitely prefer that to one that closes when you don't want it too.
S&W makes great quality products and this continues that standard. Lightweight, and with a low profile to it can be carried discreetly for this low price is awesome.
For their price, S&W makes very solid knives. This is the second folder of theirs I've bought, and I'm very satisfied. I wasn't willing to shell out $150 for a high quality Emerson karambit, and this one filled the gap nicely. The construction is solid, and the steel is of decent quality. The folding mechanism is a bit stiff out of the box, but after a few dozen openings it loosens up nicely. If you're looking for a decent quality karambit and don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars, I highly recommend picking this knife up.
This knife is well built and simple, its a little prone to rust, but its not a problem for most normal people. It holds an edge fairly well. Its got a very small profile so its very comfortable to wear almost anywhere. The only thing that would make it better is making the pocket clip reversable.
I thought Smith & Wesson is a gun company, how did they mess up on a simple framelock knife? There's SOOO much vertical & side-to-side blade play, this karambit is almost impractical! It rattles a lot. The only reason I didn't give it 1 or 2 stars is because the 440C steel is actually really good so I may salvage that to create my own mini kama or scythe or something like that. Maybe I got a lemon? Darn.
We won't be able to ship this item until we receive more stock. But don't worry, we've found a similar item that's ready to ship now.

Nigeria and Chelsea FC midfielder, John Obi Mikel, who is making his debut after missing out on South Africa 2010 due to last minute knee surgery, said that it is a dream come true to play the World Cup in Brazil where the Eagles hope to last the distance. “We want to make sure we stay here till the end of the tournament, we want to play the finals, we want to win the Cup, same as everyone, nothing short of that,” Mikel told journalists. “We want to make sure we go a step ahead of where we normally finish in this tournament. It’s going to be tough but it’s one we’re looking forward to.”
His absence four years ago left a huge vacuum in the Nigeria midfield as the Super Eagles lost twice and drew their last match to finish bottom of their group.
“It is [a dream come true to play at the World Cup], it is my first World Cup. I missed out on the last one with a knee surgery. This time I’m fit and I’m ready and hopefully we all can have a good tournament,” he said.
