Who said clothes alone are the only thing fashionable? I am declaring foods can be fashionable too. Foods can go in and out of style too. For my family I have been trying to buy foods that are not Genetically Modified. It can come up on our food labels as GMO. It is in a lot of foods on our grocery shelves and I am beginning to buy more and more organic food products.
A lot of the packaged foods that the kids like, even crackers, chips and cookies contain ingredients derived from corn, soy, canola, and sugar beet which can be genetically modified. The US government has okayed the use of GMO’s and says they are safe to consume. The use of GMOs was introduced into our foods in the mid 1990s. The reason for GMO usage is for food productivity and herbicide tolerance.
I do not know whether it is safe for my family to eat are not. I have researched the internet about GMO’s and am not sure whether I want my children consuming them. In the mean time I will educate myself more on GMO safety and we are going to fashionably eat non GMO foods, reading the labels carefully and spending the extra money to buy organic. The kids are actually liking the new food choices and one of their favorite organic non GMO snacks are from Annie’s. That is how we eat fashionably eat foods the Original Way!

Officials said the crimes happened around 6:30 a.m. in City Market.
The robbery happened outside a store in the 300 block of Parham Street where police say several customers were waiting in line for a sale when the store opened.
Two armed suspects rounded the corner from Wolfe Street and robbed a customer, taking money and personal items, according to police. The suspects then fled on foot as victims began to disperse, including one who drove away in his vehicle.
Police say that victim then hit at least one of the suspects with his vehicle near the intersection of South Person and East Martin Streets.
The two suspects fled again on foot to the 800 block of South East Street where one of the suspects, Jashon Marquis Estes, 19, was arrested. He was taken to WakeMed for injuries after being hit by the vehicle.
Estes was later charged by police with 3 counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, 1 count of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, and 1 count of assault by pointing a gun. He was taken to the Wake County Detention Center.
Police are still looking for the second suspect.
No charges were filed in connection to the vehicle crash. Police are still investigating.

Suddenly, a Knock on the Door
By Etgar Keret
Translated by Nathan Englander, Miriam Shlesinger and Sondra Silverston
FSG Originals, 208 pages, $14
Once upon a time, Etgar Keret was a humble guy scribbling out weird and fantastical stories about Israel’s version of Generation X. With his first few books, he gained a reputation in Israel as one of the country’s rising stars. Then, with the 2004 English-language publication of “The Bus Driver Who Wanted To Be God & Other Stories,” and its 2006 follow-up, “The Nimrod Flipout,” he zoomed with whiplash speed from quirky Israeli writer to international cult figure.
He’s featured in every literary festival the world has to offer. He’s been named a Chevalier of France’s Order of Arts and Letters. He’s elevated above his peers, again and again — by writers as various as Salman Rushdie, Amos Oz and Gary Shteyngart — to the status of Great Author: Voice of a Generation. But also, because of the kind of stories he writes, the kids think he’s cool. He’s got Kurt Vonnegut-Jonathan Safran Foer-type appeal. Comic adaptations are made of his work. Films, too. He — in collaboration with his wife — has even directed his own movie, “Jellyfish,” which won the Cannes Film Festival’s Camera d’Or prize.
His new book of short stories, “Suddenly, a Knock on the Door,” is being published in April in English translation, and the Forward has asked me to review it. This is a harder task than you might think. At this point in Keret’s career, criticism seems superfluous. He’s a brand on its way to becoming an industry, and the commercial noise around his work is apt to distort and drown out any serious attempt to explore its artistic merit.
This is not — or not wholly — Keret’s fault.
Like I said, Keret started out as a kid from Tel Aviv, spinning tales about what it was like to be young in the lonely, cynical, pop-inflected landscape of his particular time and place. He wrote about men, mostly — Israeli guys who spent most of their time chasing tail and money and hanging out on the beach, wondering, when they thought about much at all, what had happened to the meaning that life was supposed to have had — the sort of subjects moody boys have been writing about since there’s been such a thing as a moody boy.
But, oh, the imagination on this boy! Characters walk in and out of dreamscapes that are part and parcel to their realities. Dogs don’t die when their owners shoot them. People wander the afterlife in search of true love. People living on the moon have the power to turn their thoughts into concrete objects. In “Fatso,” maybe his most famous story, the narrator’s girlfriend turns into a massively hairy, sports-obsessed man every night. In the best of these pieces, Keret was able to transport the humdrum lives of his characters, through rings of metaphor, into rich metaphysical dimensions. His writing evoked a stranger, more porous world than our own, but it did so without abandoning the sad late-capitalist reality of the now.

Incumbent protection. Ever since I got active in the CAGOP – it has been always support your incumbents. This was on display when the Tehama GOP actually reached 2/3 to endorse Bob Williams over Incumbent Assemblyman Dan Logue. The Lawyers at the top levels of CAGOP leadership overturned the endorsement on a technicality so Logue could get the statewide GOP endorsement (which requires no county committees opposed) – further when other Cent Coms deadlocked against incumbents (such as Placer failing to endorse either Gaines) the same lawyers re-wrote the GOP rules to call anything other than reaching 2/3 not acting. Please note – I think Dan Logue is awesome and was one of the best Assemblymembers we’ve had in a generation, but what was wrong is wrong. It is the BS with the endorsement procedures that caused me to abandon support for former GOP Chair Tom Del Becarro long before I knew about his personal issues.
These same feckless leaders of the OCGOP once loved Don Wagner as an Assemblyman, and then he attempted a rematch against Senator John Moorlach a year after losing a special election. They abandoned and threatened Don Wagner so much that Wagner did not file. A few years later, Don Wagner gets elected OC Supervisor and these people are helping him retaliate against his opponents in the Supervisor race! I have whiplash. Moorlach? Useless to the GOP save a short period of time when he raised a few bucks. Don Wagner had given over $500k to GOP candidates, after the way he was treated, I’d bet he is not that motivated to do a thing now.
Do you wonder why folks like Kevin Kiley (AD-06) and Steven Choi (AD-68) sat on $400K plus in 2018 when their colleagues got smoked out of office? (Beyond Kiley’s own ambition) Why should they help, there are no consequences and they can count on the party establishment’s incumbent protection plan. Former Assemblymember Matthew Harper AD-74 was useless on a party level (actually more so than John Moorlach) and had a horrendous reputation for anger and abrasiveness yet no one in the OC GOP would take out the trash. The democrats obliged and took out Harper themselves.
This willful blindness and refusal to police incumbents has had disastrous consequences. Bill Brough in AD-73 is the latest example. As your intrepid blogger is digging in to the record of Bill Brough going back to the late 2000’s there is a disturbing pattern emerging. It is the opinion of this blogger based on evidence gathered in the background that Bill Brough’s rampage through the lives of women has been enabled by people within the ranks of GOP leadership that have covered for and enabled him.
This incumbent protection plan is quite similar to the democrats being caught (but never held to account by their willing whores in the California media) covering up for one dirtbag after another, only to be forced to throw them over the side when brave people persisted in outing the skeletons. (see also Ridley-Thomas, Dabby, Filner, Wright, Yee, Calderon, Autumn Burke, Bocanegra, Christina Garcia, Bob Hertzberg, Kevin Shelley, Lockyer, Efrain Carillo and even their state Chair Eric Bauman) I’ve been told by several capitol insiders there are at least 20-30 more legislators (all of them democrats) that are dirty as sin.
As to the Republicans, Devon Mathis (AD-26) was found to have been unjustly and falsely accused apparently by a former chief of staff that was fired for actual issues. Former Senator Ted Gaines’ Chief of Staff was fired by the rules committee for years of abuses while Gaines did nothing about it. At least Chad Mayes’ (AD-42) dalliances were consensual.
The Orange County Register wrote an article detailing the OC Supervisor (then councilmember) Lisa Bartlett story regarding Bill Brough’s physical advances. BTW – thank you OC register for the attribution. Having had my stuff stolen for years without attribution (I believe mostly by the Sacramento Bee and Southern California Bloggers), the journalistic integrity of the liberal OC and the OC Register is appreciated.
The OC Register story yielded some key nuggets. They are critical to understanding why Bill Brough is mortally wounded politically.
#1 A Second woman is now on the record. She joins my source and Lisa Bartlett. Neither my informant nor Maria Elena Banks have anything to gain by coming forward.
Another woman, Maria Elena Banks — a Laguna Beach real estate agent who helped with campaigns for Brough, Bartlett and other county Republicans — on Friday described a similar encounter that took place in a Dana Point bar about five years ago.
Banks said Brough put his hand on her leg under her skirt and, without removing his hand, asked if he could come to her house. She said she told him no, and he dropped it.
She added that she’s motivated to speak up now, and to support Bartlett, in part because she hopes to send a message: “This has gotten to the point where I’m tired of guys doing this.”
Sounds awfully familiar to the story I wrote from my informant the former legislative staffer.
#2 Bill Brough has been caught in a colossal lie. He may not have even realize what he did. Quoting the OC Register:
A third woman, who has not been identified, filed a complaint against Brough with the state Assembly. The details of the complaint are not public, but a March 2018 letter from the committee, which Brough gave to the Register, says the state found “the factual findings reported by the investigator did not support a determination that (Brough) violated any Assembly policy.”
Brough said he felt vindicated by that letter, saying the outside investigator found the accusation “unsubstantiated.”
This is critical – in 2018, when Ed Sachs was lining up a primary challenge to Bill Brough, your intrepid blogger did some digging. In that research I asked Brough to his face if a complaint was ever filed with the Assembly Rules committee against him. In May of 2018, Bill Brough lied to my face, denying the existence of an Assembly Rules Committee Complaint when I asked him about it. He also appears to have lied to several other political leaders in the area in denying the existence of an Assembly Rules Committee Complaint – even as the feckless Fred Whitaker is trying to figure out how to maintain the incumbent protection plan.
Please note that Brough’s complaint was dismissed on a technicality. There was only one witness, not two. As I wrote previously, people with knowledge of the complaint indicated that the investigators may well have suppressed testimony from other witnesses and I’ve been informed of the possibility that other members of the legislature may have influenced the outcome as well. At this time, I only have confidential informants but no evidence to support either claim.
As I type this blog, Fred Whitaker is working behind the scenes to stymie any sort of rebellion against the incumbent by the rank and file committee. It is time to shell Fred Whitaker with phone calls and emails. While quick to condemn Chad Mayes, Whitaker appears to be protecting Bill Brough.
Once Bill Brough resigns, Fred Whitaker should resign in disgrace not only because of his refusal and failure to lead – but the shellacking at the ballot box under his tenure as the Chairman of the Orange County Republican Party.
To be continued.
Blogger’s Note – the story I wrote about with a confidential informant former legislative staffer was corroborated by a well-known Orange County Republican Political figure who was an eye witness to part of the incident in the bar in Sacramento. Should I be challenged on the accounts or sued for libel, both the OC political figure and the victim indicated they would back me up.

CARROLLTON, Ga. - The Gulf South Conference opener did not go the way of the wolf on Friday afternoon at Cole Field, as the West Georgia Wolves fell by a 19-5 score to the Shorter Hawks.
Second baseman Brian Dansereau singled to lead off the third, then moved to second on a wild pitch. Nick Poskey then singled Dansereau home for the first run of the game for the Wolves. Poskey made his way around the bases, then scored on a wild pitch to make it 9-2.
Shorter added another run in the fifth, and the Wolves were scoreless until the sixth when senior first baseman Logan Taylor delivered on an infield single with two outs. Junior catcher Dan Oberst then doubled, giving West Georgia runners at second and third, and then third baseman Drew Haywood followed with a single, scoring Taylor and making it 10-3. West Georgia added two more runs in the eighth on a single from Lane Griffith and a double from Taylor to round out the UWG scoring in the inning.
In the ninth, after a seven-run inning from Shorter, the Wolves scored two more runs, with the big shot coming on a two-run triple from Cade Marlowe. The loss drops West Georgia to 2-7 on the year and 0-1 in Gulf South Conference play, while Shorter moves to 6-2 overall and 1-0 against GSC opponents.

On this SEGA News Bits, Barry and George share their analysis of the rumor that Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics are cancelled. How did this rumor spring up? Is there any validity to it? What could happen to the Sonic comic books should it happen? Give the video a watch to find out!
SEGA News Bits is a production of SEGAbits, covering all things SEGA and Sonic the Hedgehog. When we touch on Sonic stories, you’ll be seeing them here on Sonic Retro as well. If you enjoyed this episode of the SEGA News Bits, make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel and never miss an episode!
It’s been three years since the last Summer of Sonic, but this year the UK-based Sonic the Hedgehog convention was brought back for “One More Run” thanks to a Kickstarter campaign that reached half the requested amount inside 5 hours, and smashed the intended target by over another 50% on top. Clearly the fan demand was still there 3 years on, and excitement about the show reached fever pitch when it was confirmed shortly after the 25th anniversary party in San Diego that our friends at Sega America had generously supplied some demo pods for Summer of Sonic – attendees would be the first in Europe to play the hotly anticipated Sonic Mania. So, how’d the event go? Let’s find out, shall we? Continue Reading
Archie announced last February that they’d be releasing a one-shot classic Sonic comic called Sonic Mega Drive on July 6th, 2016. With the release date drawing closer we are now not only getting a closer look at the incredible art drawn for the comic, but also the announcement of a sequel!
The sequel is called Sonic Mega Drive – The Next Level, and will be released later this year. Not much is known about it, but it does again sport some fantastic cover art drawn by Tyson Hesse. Vincent Lovallo, the editor of the comic, said in an interview with IGN that the events of the comics will also feed into the regular Archie Sonic series.
IGN also asked if an ongoing Mega Drive comic series is possible, to which Lovallo answered “Absolutely. I think that if there is enough of a demand for it, there is a strong possibility that could come to light.” If you want to know more details, here’s the interview.
Be sure to take a look at the amazing work the team at Archie did with the previews of the first issue of Mega Drive and the cover art of The Next Level down below.
With the 25th anniversary coming up, it’s only fitting that Archie would do something special for the Sonic the Hedgehog comic. Today, through Comic Book Resource, Archie announced a new Sonic comic based around “Classic Sonic.” Dubbed Sonic: Mega Drive, the one-shot comic is written by Ian Flynn, with illustrations from Tyson Hesse and will be released on July 6th, 2016. The story is planned to be set after Sonic and Knuckles, with Tails, Knuckles and Amy starring alongside Sonic. Hit the jump for Archie’s disclosure of the comic.
Goodness, has it really been a year since the last time we visited the world of Sonic the Comic? Well, as time marches on, so does the progress in our quest, as we cover the penultimate game adaptation in the Fleetway series – Sonic 3D: Flickies’ Island (Or Sonic 3D: Blast, as the Yanks might know it, but as that name was only used in North America we won’t be seeing it again in this Euro-focused story!) It’s a short one this time, only covering 3 issues. Written at a time when games were beginning to become thin on the ground in the late 90s, the writers went in a slightly different direction with the story, as we’ll see. The island itself was featured in the comic for a few months afterwards as a base of operations for Dr Robotnik, but just as a location now available for the writers to use. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s start back at the beginning, shall we? Hit the jump to continue – there is of course spoilers a-plenty ahead. Continue Reading

Oh man, you guys, we usually don’t do leaks by anonymous tipsters but this was just too good to pass up. Rayman is gonna be in the upcoming Sonic Runners! This tipster gave us this piece of promotional art in which Rayman is shown running alongside Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. What made this leak especially convincing is that just like Sonic, Rayman consists of a re-used model from previous games with black lines around the edges.
It makes sense as well. Just like Sonic will have, Rayman has had a couple of “endless runner” games that aren’t really endless but actually have stages. These games, Rayman Jungle Run and Fiesta Run, were pretty darn good. So hopefully they’re an indication of how good Sonic Runners will be. And who knows, maybe we’ll see additional guest characters from other mobile games as well, like maybe Mega Man!

My phone rings and it’s the same voice. Her greeting is always the same,”Hello Mr. Wilford. There is something mystical, intriguing, challenging, and even inspiring about it, even though it is my name. I mean it’s deeper than just calling my name. I thought it would be good if you take a trip with me through my thoughts and see what I come up with. Please put on your seatbelt as we look into my mind and what’s in a name.
She don’t call me Big Poppa. This sound more like an expensive financial responsibility that I am not in a position to manage. Seeing that I have only one picture that comes to mind of a Big Poppa, I am not him. Heavy breathing, expensive sweaters, and wearing dark shades indoors, offer no inspiration for your boy. I can neither handle the health hazard nor the expense of being somebody’s Big Poppa. I’m glad she don’t call me Big Poppa.
She don’t call me Papi. Somehow being called Papi(Poppi) with a SPANISH accent, as charming and enticing as it is, seems to only appeal to my inner superman who is assumed to be faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able leap tall buildings in a single bound. It also carries with it the uncanny realization that I will at some point be in debt or dead by the time the lights, (in my house or my heart) come on. I must be getting older. In aging reality of Men, the weapons of our warfare eventually fire to the likes of Ricochet Rabbit’s sidekick, Droop-a-long. The locomotive ain’t barreling down the track at the same speed, and leaping tall buildings is out of the question. In short, I’m glad she don’t call me Papi!! Gone with that!!
She don’t call me Bae, but I like it.
Bae I assume, is what we call a “term of endearment.” Unlike Papi, Bae is packed with power to endure and excitement. When “Papi” will get you a hungry beast in the bedroom, “Bae” will make him go out and build a skyscraper, hunt down a Dinosaur, and bring home the bacon. A man called “Bae” will shovel the whole block and grow cabbage overnight. Papi will get work in the bed, but Bae will get a bed built. Nevertheless, I don’t get called Bae yet, but I understand it. I hope you do. I have my “Bae-blockers”on right now. People will trick you if you aren’t careful. She don’t call me Bae, but she calls me Mr. Wilford.
She calls me Mister.
Mister is important to me because it says, “I DON’T and will NEVER know you well enough to excuse me or you from operating outside of our God appointed PURPOSE and without RESPECT.
When I hear Mister, it seems to be a reawakening to responsibility, manhood, and my rightful place in the bigger scheme of life. Mr. Wilford or Mister reminds me that my name carries weight, not just uptown, but everywhere that it may be spoken. Mister recalls and reclaims my soul to return to its purpose, calling, and expectation. Mister not only DEMANDS respect but also GIVES respect.
You may LOVE it when she calls you Big Poppa, It may drive you crazy when she calls you Papi, It may even take you to another level when she calls you Bae, but for right now?
I love it when she calls me Mister.

After the Spanish left’s crushing defeat in local elections, Pedro Sánchez called for snap elections on July 23. Spain, which has had Europe’s most radical leftist coalition government in recent years, is the latest EU country to shift to the right. Spaniards voted on Sunday, May 28 to elect their regional and municipal assemblies. The results that came out of the ballot boxes do not bode well for Pedro Sánchez’s governing coalition of socialists, far-left populists, and communists.
EUROPE RENAISSANCE SPECIAL REPORT: Ukraine Conflict Accelerating the Decline of American Dominance. For many years, the United States considered itself the dominant power, but every day the country’s position on the world stage is weakening.
The Budapest-born Jewish multi-billionaire has constructed an incredible global network of influence. A new report from the US-based Newsbusters has exposed a vast web of media and activist organizations, funded with millions of dollars, annually, by the billionaire George Soros.
The spectre of a Hungarian-born octogenarian ominously hovers over the European Union. Doyen of capitalist investors, George Soros is on a mission to tear down Europe’s defences. His aim is to reap a harvest of 550 million people in pursuit of his manic one-world agenda.
If it is confirmed that the doyens of American mainstream media have received money to spin published news, US democracy will be ‘in the dustbin of history,’ says Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
As many go about their daily routine they little realise that censorship and, political correctness is snuffing out the candles of free expression.
WASHINGTON, January 11 – RIA Novosti. The black rights movement Black Lives Matter (Black Lives Matter), in a statement published on Twitter, called for the disbandment of the police and called law enforcement officers themselves killers.
The hapless Brussels-led European Union is facing yet another major foreign policy backfiring catastrophe. Algeria, which is a major exporter of fossil fuels to Europe like Russia, is turning against the European Union. The government in Algeria, supported by President Tebboune, has decided not to renew a key partnership treaty with the pro-Washington Spanish regime. The major North African trading partner has frozen trade relations with Europe. It gets worse: the North African country could cut natural gas supplies to Spain, a move that could send already rising gas prices and inflation even higher for Europeans reeling from sticker shock.
There have been persistent claims that the 2020 US presidential elections were rigged, to remove Trump from office, and position Biden as an instrument of the Deep State. Is that claim accurate? Is there solid evidence for it? The answer to this question is of critical importance for all of us, so let’s have an in depth look at the facts…
On November 5, 2003 billionaire financier and speculator George Soros, during a live interview at a conference of the Jewish Funders Network, enraged many of the Jews in attendance when he claimed that Jews themselves were responsible for the rise of antisemitism: When asked about anti-Semitism in Europe, Soros, who is Jewish, said European anti-Semitism is the result of the policies of Israel and the United States.

German manufacturer Krone has opened a new testing facility at its Lingen site.
VB balers and VBP BalePack baler-wrapper combinations are equipped with KUHN's progressive density baling chambers and are suitable for handling a range of wet and dry crops - from hay and straw (5-20% moisture), to haylage (18-35% moisture) and silage (35-80% moisture).
VB and VBP BalePack are now available with the option of a humidity sensor that can measure forage composition up to a level of 40% moisture, providing a useful way to monitor a crop's suitability to hit a target dry matter. The sensor is available on all VB and VBP ranges from 2021, with a retrofit option on 2021 machines and beyond.
The VBP BalePack is also available with KUHN's film binding system as an alternative to net binding, proven over several years on the FBP BalePack and the compact i-BIO baler-wrapper combination.
A bale weighing system is being launched as an option FBP BalePack (fixed chamber) and VBP BalePack (variable chamber) baler-wrapper combinations, from 2021 onwards.
Mounted on the wrapping table, each bale is weighed to provide a rolling average of the previous three bales, allowing an estimation of total bale weight on a paddock by paddock basis.
Looking at the SB large square baler range, developments include detailed changes to the pick-up to improve intake and an increase in bale chamber length to 375cm and using nine hydraulic compression cylinders to increase the consistency of bale density, particularly in very dry crops.
At the front of the machine, the new power feed roller actively follows the height of the swath, while the overall tine-to-tine width of the pick-up has been increased, both changes said to improve the consistency of crop flow to the rotor, removing peaks in power demand and reducing the risk of blockages.

The low variety of girls entering the labor pressure causes Chile to rank low amongst upper-middle class countries concerning ladies within the work drive regardless of larger educational coaching. A 2004 research showed that 81.four p.c of women labored in the service sector. “The proper to sexual and reproductive well being implies that ladies have the right to have access, with out discrimination, to health providers designed to deal with potential risks earlier than, during, and after being pregnant. Although the interruption of pregnancy for therapeutic reasons was legal underneath the 1931 Health Code of Chile, in 1989 the navy authorities repealed Article 119 of the Health Code, thereby banning all forms of abortion. The voluntary interruption of pregnancy was criminalized in all instances, with penalties of up to five years in jail, even when the pregnancy put the mother’s life at risk. According to figures from the Ministry of Health, there are greater than 33,000 abortion-related hospital discharges yearly, and Amnesty International estimates that more than one hundred sixty,000 abortions are carried out yearly in Chile.

Surely, many more have been left permanently to obscurity because of a aware decision to depart women out of history. Still, these heroes attest to how ladies, committed to their beliefs, are capable of changing history.

- When MEMCH was dissolved in 1953 – theoretically offering a space for the institution of a WILPF nationwide part – Cold War realignments and impacts on the Chilean girls’s motion limited the group’s national affect.
- Decriminalizing abortion reaffirms women’s capability to decide how best to deal with the consequences of a being pregnant, based mostly on their convictions and their circumstances.
- Also troubling is the reality that the adoption of medium- and long-term measures to guarantee women’s effective and sustainable participation in all sectors of government has been sluggish in coming.

Question A few weeks ago I hurt my upper inner thigh/groin area doing squats, I was lifting pretty heavy but made sure to keep perfect form. It only hurt at the top portion of the rep on the way up. I kept squating but a few weeks later the pain got worse spread to both sides of my groin/inner thigh (only on the way up at the top of the rep), my muscles felt perfectly able to complete more reps but I quit squating due to the pain. Iv been lifting weights for years but I have only recently started squating, I squat with a shoulder width stance toes slightly pointed outward and squat down till my hips are just slightly below parallel to the ground. the pain feels like it's in the muscle of my groin/inner thigh, sometime it kinda feels like it might be in the hip joint (it's kinda hard to pinpoint exactly were it's coming from). I workout in the morning about 30 min after I wake up, I do a light warm up first just some bdyweight exercises to try and bring my body temp up befor I start lifting heavy (jumping jacks; bodyweight squats; trunk rotations; high knees ect.). I lift outside and it's pretty cold 45°-60°. I'm currently taking a week off from squats, no lower body work to let the injury heal. Not sure if stretching would make things worse, so not stretching for a week either (dosent hurt when I stretch tho). I know this was a long question, just trying my best to explain everything in hopes of an answer to help me get back to my weightlifting goals, I cant offord to go to the doc. If Thers anything you can tell me please help
Answer This could be a hip flexor injury or a labral issue or a adductor injury. You would need to see a sports doc to find out. You could be sent for physical therapy to work on the specific issue or if they aren't sure what you have you may need xray/mri...if there is an MRI and around the hip, we usually do it with arthrogram so we can see the joint and the labrum well.

I like that answer though the hop is at ~50%. I should really add some context...
The gun is the P90 I have other threads on and is using the stock CYMA spring with just over 1.5 coils cut. Given the stock FPS was ~400, I tend to think that the ~260 FPS on semi is accurate. But if that's the case, how in the heck would it do 385 (readout)? Unless of course the semi shooting is hosed and firing much lower than it should consistently shot to shot.
To rule out the chrony itself I'd have to test with my other AEGs on full auto. I should do that -- will report back.

This publication is here to highlight everything you need to know about the MTN 4G and the reasons why you should change your 3G network to 4G, the advantages of using the 4G in 3G and how to know if your phone supports the 4G service or not. Finally, you will also know how to get the 4G service on your device.
Thanks to MTN for 4G LTE service coverage for Ghana. The 4G LTE stands for Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution. It is a new generation of mobile telecommunications technology, replacing 3G / HSPA networks. It is redirected to provide subscribers up to 5 to 10 times the speed of 3G networks. With the 4G LTE service on your phone, you can reach up to a maximum download speed of 12.5MB / s and 6.25MB / s of upload speed. Is not that amazing? Wow, it’s really great for some of us!
The MTN 4G LTE service was previously only available in regional capitals throughout the country but is now designed to work in some of the major cities in Ghana. The 4G service comes with another level of Internet speed and reliability for its subscribers.
ADVANTAGES OF 4G LTE ON 3G NETWORKS
It offers up to five to ten times faster-browsing speed, faster downloads and more clear and easy uploads without hops and clear video calls.
The good thing is that the 4G LTE service can be used directly on your mobile phone or other devices such as modems and routers. But to enjoy this service, you must first check if there are any enabling devices. This is whether the device supports the service or not.
The only disadvantage of the 4G LTE service is that it consumes a lot of Internet package. But for some, this is not a disadvantage because they gain value for their money (better browsing experience).
From the above, I am sure that you may have already made your intention to switch from 3G to 4G because, when analyzing the advantages compared to the disadvantages, you can say which outperforms the other. So if you are interested in switching to 4G services, then this is what you will need to do first.
HOW TO GET THE MTN 4G LTE SERVICE ON YOUR DEVICE
To get the MTN 4G service running on your device, you need a smartphone that supports 4G. To find out if your phone supports 4G or not, dial * 585 # and select the second option. If your device is a 4G enabled device, it will be indicated by service providers.
The next thing to do is check if your location is within the coverage areas of the MTN 4G.
Then, the end is to visit MTN branches across the country to exchange their 3G SIM for the SIM 4G for free. This means that you will be given a new SIM. You need to worry, not because all your old information from the SIM card is transferred to the new SIM and can be accessed without any problem.
If you are an MTN subscriber, then you should be thinking of switching your 3G network to 4G LTE for a better browsing experience.
NOTE! So far MTN is the only 4G service accessible directly from your mobile phone in the country. We hope that the other service providers will also know this new initiative. But for now, you switch to MTN’s 4G service and enjoy high-speed data services now. MTN they say welcome to the new world of unlimited possibilities.


As we know, this is a strange time to be out in the community on a daily basis. First, we recommend protecting yourself as much as possible. This means following all CDC and State Government recommendations to the full extent possible.
However, it’s obvious that our troopers may be in contact with individuals exposed to the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. If any trooper believes that they have come into contact with someone who has COVID-19 or that is showing symptoms of the illness, it should be documented, in writing, immediately. This can be done by emailing a supervisor, filling out an MSP Form 199, a Form 17, etc. It is important that if there is job exposure it’s documented. It’s our prayer that none of our members are infected, but we want you protected if you are.

Introduction to Field Geology, a late-summer field course for current University of Oregon students - Earth Sciences majors, minors or the Earth Science degree program-curious.
Geologic mapping is a fundamental component of a geoscience education and in this course students will get on-the-ground and in-the field experience applying their classroom knowledge to field data collection, field observations, and map making. The Lower Owyhee Canyon south of Ontario, Oregon is a great location to begin cataloging sedimentary stratigraphy, working with topographic base maps, taking strike-and-dip measurements, and creating a geologic map. Students in the Geology and Paleontology tracks of the Earth Sciences major who take this two-week course will only need to take 2 more 4-credit sections of summer field camp to complete the field camp requirement for their degree, as this course will count for 4 of the 12 required credits. The course also counts as an upper-division elective course in the other Earth Science tracks.
The two week course will consist of three projects, with a half-day off for laundry or personal needs, a short field trip to other beautiful Owyhee locations, and 3-full days of travel between Eugene and Lake Owyhee.
Project one will focus on using a topographic map in the field, taking notes, using the Brunton compass while making detailed observations of stratigraphy.
Project two will focus on lava flow stratigraphy, making a field plan, field illustrations, targeting for sampling, and testing field hypotheses.
Project three is a reconnaissance project, developing a one-day, blitz data collection plan and executing. Using either paper base map and compass OR Smartphone.

-4 Snaps! Strongly recommended
Got a hankering for some BBQ? 4 Rivers Smokehouse would be a good place to go. I was in the mood for a lighter lunch and had the Tri-Tip Wedge Salad ($8.99)- 4 slices of Tri-Tip beef with a wedge of Iceberg lettuce, grape tomatoes, scallions, bacon bits, with Ranch dressing and a Bleu Cheese crumble. It was the just right combination of beef and vegetables and a good balance of flavors for a lunch time meal.
I've also had the Six Shooter- 4 Rivers Cheese grits topped with pulled pork, slaw, pickles, jalapenos and 4R sauce-. It's a mess, but it's delicious! The slaw and pork make a great flavor foundation with the jalapenos adding the right amount of kick to perfect the sandwich.
Mealtime crowds can be thick. I arrived at 11:30 for lunch and got through the line fairly quickly. Had I been much later, I would have easily waited for 20 minutes to order. Cafeteria style service with friendly staff.

Virgin America’s most boring, creepy, weird ad ever – and it’s more than five hours long
Virgin America is having fun with the online video space. Almost too much fun. Which, ironically, involves releasing the most boring advertisement in the history of video.
The US-based airline Virgin America has released an online video advertisement that runs for five hours and 45 minutes. It’s the most boring – and creepy – online video ever.
But that’s the point. It replicates, in real-time, a flight from Newark to San Francisco – coast to coast – on an airline other than Virgin. It’s an almost brilliant mixture of the tedious reality of the flight with the metaphor of humans on autopilot represented by the mannequins that are the video’s ‘stars’.
Not much happens, except the typical sounds humans make when they’re closely packed into a pressurised metal tube. The most boring crossword puzzle ever. The most boring in-flight entertainment ever. The most vapid cabin crew ever. Even the most boring dreams ever dreamt when our mannequin-hero falls asleep. It goes on. For almost six hours. Until we land, go close-up on our mannequin-hero’s eyes, and cut to black.
The airline is appropriately called BLAH Airlines. Check out the BLAH Airlines website, where you can live-chat with mannequin customer service representative Sheri. (Hey, online chat for customer service is innovative, right?)
Apparently, it was a lot of fun to make. Bryan Houlette, creative director at Eleven, the agency begind the video, told Adweek: “It was never really weird, but rather a challenge to see if we could also make it funny. And in the end, that’s where all the fun happened. It was a nice mix of being really weird and comical, for a real long time. It’s the kind of thing where you want to turn away, but you’re oddly drawn into the boredom.”
The Marketing team has this playing up on a screen in the office. It’s due to finish by late afternoon. Let’s see if we make it to San Francisco.

Getting Into Competitive Shooting, Part V
December 7th, 2019
6 minute read
Editor’s Note: This is part five of a five-part series on getting into competitive shooting. You can check out the other entries here:
- Part I: What Types Do You Like?
- Part II: Finding Where To Shoot
- Part III: See the Sports in Action
- Part IV: Gear Up & Learn the Rules
If you’ve been keeping up with my article series, thanks for following along. After all your time and hard work, it’s finally time to shoot your first match! You know what match you are going to shoot and the requirements to shoot it. You’ve also taken the match introductory course and/or a private lesson. It’s now time to 1.) register for the match and 2.) pack up your gear for the big day!
Many matches require pre-registration, while some matches allow competitors to just show up. With the research you’ve done, you know exactly what to do for your event, so just do it already!
Your shooter’s kit will contain quite a few things, but since this is your first time going to compete at a match, you might not want to weigh yourself down with a ton of excess stuff. There may be some items you will want to bring along and leave in the car as backup, but depending on the format of the match (and assuming you have to lug your gear from station to station), having an over-abundance of gear isn’t necessarily helpful. The last thing you want is to get hung up on the firing line still trying to sort your stuff.
List It or Leave It
It’s always a good idea to make a list and then “stage” your items in a common area so you can double check that you have everything prior to “go time.” Here are my suggestions to make sure you are prepared for your first match:
- Bags & Cases
You need a way to carry your gear onto the range and between stages. Most ranges won’t let you show up with a pistol on your hip or a rifle slung on your back. You will want to have bags/cases of some sort to carry your equipment and get your pistol to the safety area to holster, and/or to get your long gun to the firing line/staging area. Shooting bags, duffels, backpacks will all do the job — heck, even a milk crate works for storage! You are going to be accumulating a lot of stuff, so you might as well make it easier by organizing with bags/cases.
- Gun(s) for the Match
I know it sounds obvious…but on more than one occasion I have taken a trip to the range, just to unload my gear and discover that I left my gun in the safe at home. It’s frustrating and annoying when it happens. I am quite sure though that I’m not the only member of the “forgot my gun” club. However, don’t become a member on your first day — be sure to grab your gun! Also, make certain it’s unloaded and in a case or bag for transporting.
- Safety Equipment
Ear and eye protection are required at all shooting events. Besides, it would be stupid not to protect yourself, even if it weren’t mandatory. Keep both items in your shooting bag so you always have them!
- Magazines, Magazines, Magazines
See above “forgot my gear” story. Forgetting magazines will stop your fun just as quickly as forgetting your gun! For firearms with separate magazines, they are (obviously) a vital part of the game. Having a few more magazines than what you think you need is never a bad idea either. And if you load all of your mags in your down time (at home), that’s one less thing to worry about at the start of the match. You may not use all of the loaded mags, but they are easy to unload if you don’t.
- Gun & Ammo Rig
Keep your “rig” together. Your belt, holster, and mag pouches (for a pistol match) probably fit in your shooting bag. If you’ve got a sling and rifle/shotgun mag pouches (for a multi-gun event), they can probably be stowed in your rifle case. Your chest rig or double-belt Safariland ELS holster rig won’t fit in most bags though, but it does carry easily as it’s already configured. Regardless, make sure you have the entire rig before you walk out the door. Oh, and don’t forget your ammo!
- Protective Clothing
Many shooting sports involve physicality. They might have you running through washes or brush, going prone (lying down) and getting into and out of props. The match directors will go out of their way to keep you safe, but the terrain may be rough at a lot of ranges. So, it’s a good idea to wear full-coverage shoes/boots with aggressive traction and sturdy, protective clothing (long pants/long sleeves/more-durable fabrics). Always bring a hat and have a pair of work gloves just in case you have to reset some gnarly steel targets or have an AR handguard that is really hot! A jacket or rain gear in the car is always smart to have.
If you didn’t have to pay online when registering, make sure you have cash money to pay for the match at the range. A lot of gun clubs don’t have credit card processing abilities, so you may need cool, hard cash.
Useful Gear Checklist
- Firearm Cleaning Supplies
While you might not want to completely break down your gun at the shooting range, it never hurts to have some basic cleaning gear. What if your gun malfunctions because it just needs a little oil? What if you drop a magazine into sand or mud, or go prone and your barrel digs into the dirt? Put a few basic supplies in your bag, i.e., brushes, patches, rod, punch, rag, Hoppe’s cleaner & Lucas Oil.
- Spare Parts
You don’t need a full rebuild on hand, but many firearms have certain parts that are more prone to failure. Having an extra firing pin for your AR bolt weighs nothing, takes little space, and might just save the day. Fiber-optic rods have been known to disappear during a course of fire, too.
Make sure you pack the tools required to break down your firearm (for cleaning/repair) and to work on your gear. Holsters and mag pouches commonly need to be adjusted/tightened with an Allen wrench or screwdriver.
- Lens Kit
At minimum, lens spray and a clean lens cloth — both are really important for keeping your shooting glasses clean.
Batteries always seem to fail at the most inopportune time. Keep back-up batteries for your ear muffs, scopes, timer, etc. You’ll thank me for this one later…
- Basic First Aid
I’m not talking about gunshot wound dressings and tourniquets (though if you know how to use ’em, you probably already carry that stuff in your bag). Some disinfecting wipes, antibiotic ointment, band-aids, gauze, and tape are a good start. If you bust a knuckle on a prop or snag some skin on a target stand, you will be much happier for the rest of the match with a clean and bandaged cut. Ask me how I know…
- Food and Water
You might not be going to a full-day match, but the stages can run behind schedule and you might have to postpone getting pizza for a few hours! Nothing will ruin your day like being hungry or thirsty while you wait to shoot. Throw some jerky, a power bar, an apple, and a water bottle in your bag just in case. And if you share your jerky, the other shooters will like you more, and then give you more free advice.
- Notebook and Pen
In case you realize you are missing an item or want to make a note to change something on your firearm or gear, you’ll want to write it down. Eventually, a range log is a great idea, too.
- Hand Sanitizer
A lot of ranges are in the middle of nowhere, and have facilities that leave something to be desired. Do yourself and everyone else a favor and bring a bottle of hand sanitizer. You’re welcome.
As you attend more events, there are going to be other match-specific items you may need (binoculars, a folding chair, a caddy to tow your gear, etc), but the above lists should be a good start to cover your bases for almost any match.
Not being prepared for a match will make for a long, frustrating, and ultimately un-fun day. Having your gear in order and being prepared for a curveball or two will keep you collected and increase the chances that you will have a blast. Enough talking already — you have the knowledge, training and gear to hit the range, so good luck at your first competition.
And because you’ve prepared, I predict you’ll successfully finish the match, and that you’ll immediately be looking forward to the next event, and the one after that, and the one after that…

Glass birds are green-blue traffics,
splinter-tin gods hanging from odd places.
If I brought to you a fire and breathed
a poison moon over it,
would you dance as these cool traffics?
Your clothes lost on carpet
are mountains and spiders,
cannibal songs living in exile
eating apple seed languages.
Open your lips to hip and kiss,
to spring off the shoulder behind
black mouths, drunk and drinking
with warring eye and kneading finger.
Harp-tow furniture of this room
is dumb against flesh of ghosts,
shiver and spit of mad men and women;
and all the glass birds are shut up
in wisteria landscapes.

The Assumption Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness posted video on its blog, showing land being swallowed up by the sink hole, into the churning water.
This particular sink hole has required numerous updates on the agency’s blog.
It is believed that the sink hole is the aftermath of a collapsed salt dome. Earlier this month, the state of Louisiana sued Texas Brine LLC, a developer that is accused of causing the situation.
Homeowners in the area have been told that their property is not in any immediate danger.

CHAMP CAR STARS READY TO ROCK N' ROLL IN CLEVELAND
Round five of the Champ Car World Series' "Battle for the Vanderbilt Cup" takes place at Burke Lakefront Airport this weekend, in the heart of Cleveland, Ohio, home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and this year's contestants are hoping that the standing start into the famous first-turn is more of a smooth success than a smash hit at the Grand Prix of Cleveland Presented by LaSalle Bank.
After a near perfect standing-start in Portland, things might get a little more rock and roll in Cleveland where flying starts have been known to see their share of "hits" as everyone tries to negotiate the wide open first turn. Although last season everyone steered clean into the first corner of the 2.106-mile temporary road course, it was the way leading to turn-two where things got out of control. Notably for triple Vanderbilt Cup winner Sebastien Bourdais (#1 McDonald's Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) who was literally knocked out of the race when Paul Tracy's (#3Indeck Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) car flew over his and rolled over the Frenchman's helmet.
This year, the Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing (NHLR) driver will be looking to put that memory behind him while searching for his fourth consecutive win in '07. With a resounding come back to score NHLR's 100th victory, after falling down to fourth at the start in Round Four at Portland International Raceway, Bourdais continues to sit atop the charts for a second consecutive race with an 11 point lead over sophomore Will Power (#5 Aussie Vineyards Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone).
After a difficult Round Three, Power regained form in Portland, where he moved up from his seventh place on the grid to finish fourth allowing him to maintain his second spot in the standings ahead of best new solo driver Robert Doornbos (#14 Minardi Team USA Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone). The Dutchman continues to make a name for himself in the Champ Car World Series with three top-three finishes in four races, however, the 25 year-old has yet to reach the top step of the podium.
Despite four top-ten finishes this year -- the only driver to accomplish this feat -- Alex Tagliani (#8 LXN2 Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) is still searching for his first podium finish this season. With strong qualifying performances and good race results, the Canadian remains for a fourth consecutive race in the top-four on the charts. History says that he is in for another top-ten result in Cleveland, having finished tenth or better in his last six visits.
RSPORTS driver Justin Wilson (#9 CDW Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) will want to carry on the same tune he sang two weeks ago in Portland, where he grabbed his first pole and podium finish of the season, in order the forget the 2006 edition of the Cleveland Grand Prix where he saw his race end early when a suspension failure sent him into the concrete wall. The Brit currently sits fifth in the Championship standings behind his RSPORTS teammate.
Oriol Servia (#7 Indeck Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) crossed the finish line in a disappointing 11th in Portland after a strong start to his season with a couple of top-four results. The Catalonian now hopes he can repeat his performance from last year in Cleveland where he climbed onto the third step of the podium to get things back on track with his Forsythe Championship Racing Team (FCR).
FCR's other driver, Paul Tracy who returned to competition in Portland after sitting out two races will be looking to make his way to the front and back into the heat of the battle for the championship before it gets too late. With a podium finish at the season-opener in Las Vegas, Tracy barely made it into the top-ten two weeks ago, but you can never count out Champ Car's version of a Rock and Roll bad boy to leave his mark on the championship.
While the "Battle for Vanderbilt Cup" continues to get more interesting as the season moves along, the race for the Roshfrans Rookie-of-the-Year title is just as fierce as a herd of young stars fight for the title. Doornbos may have a 28 point lead over his closest rival, but sitting second through fourth in the new solo driver category are NHLR's Graham Rahal (#2 Medi | Zone Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) who swept the Atlantic double header in Cleveland last season, PKV Racing's Tristan Gommendy (#22 Pay by Touch-Megaspiera Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) and Team Australia's Simon Pagenaud (#15 Aussie Vineyards Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone). The three rookies, who also round out the top-ten drivers on the Champ Car charts, are separated by a mere six points.
Other drivers looking to make their way into the top-ten of the "Battle for the Vanderbilt Cup" are Neel Jani (#21 Red Bull-Gulfstream Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) of PKV Racing whose best result this year is a seventh place in Long Beach, Dan Clarke (#4 Minardi Team USA Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone), who put in his best performance of the season in Portland, Katherine Legge (#11 Dale Coyne Racing Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) and the best new duo or group nominees Pacific Coast Motorsports drivers Ryan Dalziel (#28 PCM Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) and Alex Figge (#29 Molecule Labs Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone).
The Champ Car Grand Prix of Cleveland Presented by LaSalle Bank action gets underway Friday with a first practice session at 12:15 PM which will be followed by the first round of qualifying at 4:00 PM. The grid for Sunday's race will be set on Saturday at 2:00 PM during the final round of qualifying while the yellow lights will go out for Round Five of the 2007 Champ Car World Series season at 1:00 PM on Sunday, June 24th. The race will be broadcast live on CBS Sports starting at 1:00 PM (all times eastern).


The Australia Council for the Arts has announced a new partnership with the US-based New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA), which will support the production and touring of Australian dance to the US for the next three years.
From 2006 to 2008, NEFA’s National Dance Project will support up to four tours of Australian dance productions to the US and the development of two new dance works to tour the US.
The partnership is the result of two-year negotiations initiated through the Australia Council’s Dance Down Under strategy, which promotes export-ready Australian contemporary dance to the US.
Executive director of the Australia Council’s community partnerships and market development division, Karilyn Brown says: ‘The US is a large market for the performing arts and, following the recent success in the US of companies such as Chunky Move (VIC), Sydney Dance Company (NSW), Bangarra Dance Theatre (NSW) and Australian Dance Theatre (SA), as well as individual choreographers such as Ros Warby (VIC) and Lucy Guerin (VIC), the interest in Australian dance companies and artists has been steadily growing over the last few years. Australian dance is seen as bold, fresh and dynamic, and there is a lot of interest from US presenters.
‘This partnership with NEFA and its National Dance Project will provide a financial framework for the production and touring of Australian dance to the US and will encourage US presenters to introduce Australian dance artists to their audiences.’
Rebecca Blunk, executive director of NEFA, says: ‘We are thrilled to be partnering with the Australia Council in the next stage of Australian dance creation and distribution. There are many ways this will open conversations for deep, lasting connections’.
The partnership will be officially launched at a reception in New York during the Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP) Conference in January 2006. The APAP Conference is the largest performing arts market in the world and, as part of the Dance Down Under strategy, the Australia Council has supported an Australian presence at the Conference for the last three years.
The first round of Australian dance artists to receive support to tour the US under this partnership are expected to be announced in the new year.
