Everything you need to know about converting your boring old grass nature strip into a bountiful edible verge garden.
Step onto any suburban street and you’re bound to find someone expanding their garden to occupy their verge or nature strip. This is not a new way of growing extra produce or beautifying your street, but it is becoming much more accepted by residents and, to a point, even encouraged by local councils.
Verges, or nature strips, are usually council-owned land between a private residence and the road, and are strips of opportunity to expand either your edible garden or native garden for wildlife. But before you head out the front to convert your boring old grass nature strip into a bountiful edible verge garden, there are a few things to do first.
Check with council
Most councils will be aware of verge gardens and so as well as offering advice and guidelines, may also be willing to offer local plants to get you started. Depending on your street or position it’s not unusual for council to have height restrictions on plants to ensure visibility of passing traffic. It might regulate the depth of your garden to ensure clear access for pedestrians, or what you deem a beauty might be classified as an environmental weed by councils.
Councils may also have concerns about the maintenance of newly planted verge gardens, so it’s not a bad idea to make your design reversible. That way, if you move on from your property and the new tenants or owners don’t have green thumbs, it can be easily turned back into a more conventional low-maintenance area.
Love thy neighbour
Before starting your verge garden it is a good idea to talk to your neighbours about your intentions. Not only will this generally ensure they get used to the idea before the transformation takes place, but you might find they may also want to get on board and start growing food on their verge, meaning you can plan your crops to share.
A simple “coming-soon” sign stating your verge garden intentions, or a letter drop to your neighbours, will help them visualise your plans and may raise interest and support. The offer of some shared herbs or produce will be well received, too.
Growing an edible verge garden means you’ll be harvesting produce from out the front, so it is highly advisable to get a soil test done first. If you live on a busy road or street, your soil could have high levels of lead and other contaminants. Depending on the age of your home (or fence), you could find discarded building materials quite close to the surface, so knowing what’s in your soil before planting food is an excellent idea.
If you do want to create a garden on your verge, but find that your soil is not ideal, maybe look at planting a bee-friendly garden or native plant option to feed your local wildlife instead.
Another option is to consider growing produce in pots, strawbale gardens or raised beds to avoid planting in contaminated soil.
Soil tests can be carried out for free via the VegeSafe website offered by Sydney’s Macquarie University in Sydney. This service is available to all Australian residents and your soil tests will contribute to a much greater soil map to benefit more people and which can be viewed online.
Dial before you dig!
Most verge gardens will be best started using no-dig methods of covering existing lawn with a thick layer of cardboard and mulch, but if you will be planting fruit trees or shrubs that need to be planted deeper, it is always advised to check for any underground infrastructure first.
Before you poke a shovel into your verge, check for underground phone lines, gas lines, water pipes or electricity by looking up the dial before you dig webpage here for plans of underground connections.
Food is free
You will need to take into account the inevitability that your productive edible verge garden will also be enjoyed by neighbours and passers-by. As your verge is public or council-owned land, the produce grown on this space is best shared and can be a great way to meet locals in your area.
Be aware there may be native animals and pets walking through or past your garden, so be cautious about plants that you will be harvesting that may have been weed on by dogs.
Delicate crops like salad leaves may be best grown in pots or raised beds out of range by visiting dogs. It’s not just animals you need to consider either. Fruit trees that drop fruit can become a hazard for pedestrians to slip on, so making sure footpaths are kept free of fallen fruit might just save you a nasty argument.
Lots to love
Planting a verge garden is a great way to ensure you’re spending more time outside the confines of your fence, meeting the community and connecting with neighbours. You will create interest in what’s growing and ready to harvest, share ideas and knowledge about pest management and you might even pick up some tips from other local gardeners.
As well as having extra growing space, a verge garden is a place to create, connect and share.

New technologies are consistently changing the way engineering designers approach difficulty solving. The production of a certain component belonging to a provided component household would stick to the manufacturing routing that has been setup for its family, skipping the operations that are not needed for it. Furthermore, in style adjustments to existing items and specifically in new product styles, the normal multi-use components should be utilized.
These developments intensified the OEMs’ move to outsource the bulk of the manufacturing and design of the sub-systems and components to their suppliers and, in effect, lost most of their manufacturing strength and bargaining power to them the suppliers presently account for 28% of the total automotive sector income as opposed to only 24% for the OEMs.
The Association for Financial Professionals permits the following activities for repatriating funds: Analysis and Improvement activities, advertising and marketing programs, hiring and education new recruits, acquiring patent and other rights to intangible house, enhancing transportation, funding capital investments with the goal of job creation and job retention & funding solution duty or environmental claims.
A detailed overview is offered of all the areas all through the item improvement work flow cycle that are impacted by a totally implemented 3D CAD system, and the gains to be findings are derived from our on-going research programs, from speaking to firms currently thinking about a move to 3D strong modeling, and to other folks who have already made the move, drawn from the machinery, electro-mechanical, and customer items sectors of sector.
In specific, once one recognizes the strategic nature of supply chain style, 1 feels virtually compelled to integrate it with solution and process improvement.” This is, nevertheless, a bird eye’s view of the issue and is hardly ever regarded as practical since the existing supply chain structures getting implemented by firms usually ignore the influence of product characteristics and attributes.

Los Angeles-based Welk Aviation has moved into the professional Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market with the purchase of two AERIGON Aerial Remote Camera Heads (ARCH) from Intuitive Aerial. The AERIGON, for which Welk Aviation has received an FAA 333 exemption, will provide an expanded palette of HD and UHD aerial camera capture for the helicopter company’s TV and motion picture clients.
The AERIGON ARCH is built for use with heavier broadcast and feature film-ready cameras and lenses. With a payload capacity of 35 lbs., the AERIGON can carry over 20 lbs. of camera equipment, along with the gimbal. The AERIGON Gimbal features a proprietary advanced stabilization system for cameras and professional zoom lenses, with full FIZ (Focus, Iris, Zoom) controls. This allows Welk Aviation to operate whatever equipment its clients favor, including cameras such as the Phantom Flex4K, Sony F55, RED Epic and Alexa Mini.
“The AERIGON is revolutionizing aerial photography and adds a powerful new tool to our arsenal, allowing us to go where helicopters can’t,” said Patrick McKernan, UAV and special projects production coordinator at Welk Aviation. “It can fly down alleyways or split buildings in downtown L.A. It expands way beyond what we can do with a stabilized remote camera mount or a camera car. It gives news producers and film DPs the ability to get almost any shot they dream up.”
An FAA-certified helicopter pilot and instructor, pro skydiver and SAG actor with credits on many feature films, McKernan followed the UAV industry for two years, waiting for the technology to catch up to his needs and expectations, before selecting the AERIGON as Welk Aviation’s go-to system.
“Without question it’s the best all-in-one cinema and broadcast UAV available,” said Larry Welk, owner of Welk Aviation. “Our crew of professional pilots and photographers who specialize in this unmanned world made the decision after extensive research, not only because of the UAV but because of the team behind it.”
Welk Aviation offers a variety of services in addition to its news gathering for NBC Los Angeles and KTLA, including film and TV production, inspection and patrol of power lines and construction sites and flight training. Given its FAA 333 exemption, Welk Aviation can use the AERIGON legally in all aspects of its work.
The requirements of each TV or motion picture project will dictate whether the company chooses to use the AERIGON or a helicopter. While helicopters can carry full-size camera gear and the personnel to operate it, handle windy conditions and fly further and longer, the AERIGON will be used when a smaller, more agile vehicle is needed.
“Having remote access to the AERIGON means we can fly into situations where our helicopters can’t,” Welk explained. “It can fly under bridges, near power lines, around obstacles, and inside buildings whenever we need to gather HD or UHD footage. It’s a lot less expensive to operate and has a lower impact than a helicopter. We don’t have to close down two square blocks in Hollywood every time we want to get some footage with the AERIGON.”
“We’re trying to set the standard for the industry and create a structured, safe and knowledgeable environment by training the pilots of the future,” McKernan said. “I see so many UAVs being used in ill-advised ways. Safety has always been our paramount concern and the AERIGON goes above and beyond being safe, while meeting the quality standards for aerial camera capture.”
“We’re at the dawn of a unique opportunity in broadcasting and film,” said Welk. “I like to compare it to the introduction of TV. Who knows how many new applications we’ll find using these aircraft? We’re already working on innovations for sports broadcasting and our production business will be enhanced and grow as a result of our relationship with Intuitive Aerial.”

LEE GILMOUR has played his last game for Huddersfield Giants.
The former Great Britain back-row forward will undergo surgery next Wednesday to repair a shoulder injury.
Head coach Paul Anderson had hoped giving his former St Helens and Bradford Bulls teammate two games off would solve the problem.
But the Huddersfield chief has now confirmed Gilmour has been forced to concede defeat and needs immediate surgery, which will rule him out for the season.
And with the 34-year-old moving to Castleford next season, it means his days in the claret and gold are over.
“Gilly’s a very proud man and he’s bitterly disappointed his time at the Giants has come to an end like this,” said Anderson. “But because of all the things he’s done for us, it’s got to the point where his shoulder’s not great and he was left with no other choice but to get the surgery done.
“He suffered a couple of ‘stingers’ against Catalan the other week, and we decided to give him a couple of weeks rest to see if it settled down. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, he went to see the surgeon and that’s when the full extent of the damage was revealed.
“All being well, the surgery will prove a success and he’ll make a full recovery.
“Obviously, he’s going to be at Castleford Tigers next year, but everyone at the Giants is still hoping he can get back to full fitness, because he’s been such a great servant to our club.
“He intends to stay around the squad once the operation is done, and give us his full support from the sidelines, and I know how much he wants to see us finish the season as strongly as possible.”

Rumba is a sexy, romantic dance that is a very popular way to dance with the person you care about. It has been danced countless times as the first dance of the bride and groom. It is also very popular in clubs when the music slows down and the floor gets crowded. With a Latin feel in the music, the Rumba sharpens your sense of rhythm, timing and muscular control.
Rumba, often referred to as the lover's dance, is a fun, sassy, latin-style of ballroom dance that fits nicely with most modern types of music.
This is a continuation of the recently completed Rumba 1 class.
No partner necessary but finishing Rumba 1 or previous experience recommended.

A choir can literally harmonise our intentions towards celebration, advocacy, affirmation, admission, wonder, hope, grief and ultimately togetherness. It is not only the fact of being together (standing together definitely helps) but the added and magic ingredient of music, of sound and rhythm that seduces us to a state of non-ego where our selfish impulses are appeased in favour of a more thrilling and all-consuming goodness, as all participate in a wilfull manifestation of beauty. This is a collective choice for good!
Hunger for collective expression, intimacy, empathy and healing appears to be possible through singing together. If only more people would sing together, for when we sing, there is always Peace!

Here’s a new study that vindicates what entrepreneurial actress Suzanne Somers was saying in her diet books in the 1990s: that starch and sugar are worse than fat. From the NYT:
Adults who cut carbohydrates from their diets and replaced them with fat sharply increased their metabolisms.
By Anahad O’Connor, Nov. 14, 2018
It has been a fundamental tenet of nutrition: When it comes to weight loss, all calories are created equal. Regardless of what you eat, the key is to track your calories and burn more than you consume.
But a large new study published on Wednesday in the journal BMJchallenges the conventional wisdom. It found that overweight adults who cut carbohydrates from their diets and replaced them with fat sharply increased their metabolisms. After five months on the diet, their bodies burned roughly 250 calories more per day than people who ate a high-carb, low-fat diet, suggesting that restricting carb intake could help people maintain their weight loss more easily.
The new research is unlikely to end the decades-long debate over the best diet for weight loss. But it provides strong new evidence that all calories are not metabolically alike to the body. And it suggests that the popular advice on weight loss promoted by health authorities — count calories, reduce portion sizes and lower your fat intake — might be outdated.

Platini's plan is plain silly
Market forces are much derided these days after nigh-on three years of economic meltdown, but their effect is evident in this season's Champions League.
Michel Platini, the UEFA president, has been determined to introduce financial rules and regulations that would restrict the power of the bigger -- especially English -- clubs, because he feared their dominance would damage the game. This year six countries are represented in the last eight of the Champions League and a minimum of three countries will make it to the semi-final.
The biggest spenders have not made it while the relative minnows of the French league provide two, and a certain semi-finalist. The Italians, despite Inter's superb performance at Chelsea, are in steep decline, but for the rest there has been a levelling out.
The recession has clearly played its part by forcing discipline on clubs which would otherwise have continued to splurge, and debts, too, have acted as a brake on excess.
Arsenal, which borrowed heavily to build the Emirates Stadium, spends frugally on players; Manchester United, saddled with debts by the Glazer family, spends its cash on debt repayments, not inflated transfers. Both have made it through, both would trouble Platini's obsessions with debt and both could make the final. Platini might try to use their indebtedness to further his own narrow cause, but he would be missing the point, deliberately or not. Both clubs have used their debts very differently, and neither has used debt to buy instant success.
It is plain silly to try and devise rules that would exclude them from the Champions League.

The fourteen works for piano and orchestra of Ferdinand Ries stand alongside those of Hummel as among the most important of their kind from the early decades of the 19th century.
Intensely lyrical and yet displaying at times a rugged Beethovenian grandeur, Ries’s concertos are works of impressive musical stature.
The three works featured on this recording are all associated with Ries’s English period: the Abschieds-Concert von England, composed to mark his retirement from the London stage; the brilliant Grand Variations on ‘Rule Britannia’, composed at Hastings in 1817, and the enchanting Introduction et Variations Brillantes, Op. 170 which takes as its theme Soldier, soldier, will you marry me?

New Years Eve is a night for reflection. It is our cultural birthday, in a way. We collectively look into the mirror, check for new grey hairs or abnormal growths, and think back to how we looked a year earlier in this exact same place. And then we start piecing together the 364 days that followed and try to figure out how the hell we got to where we are now.
As Gary spent his New Years Eve passed out on the couch with a slice of pizza half hanging from his mouth and the television station stuck on a six hour block of hard core pay-per-view erotica, I found myself reflecting on 2011, the year in film. Since a majority of the XXX features Gary had ordered were plot-driven, I needed something to focus on other than the contrivances needed to turn a bank hold-up into a six-way orgy. I decided to rank the top 5 best and bottom 5 worst movies of the year.
My vantage point from within the confines of the walls of Gary’s house does limit my film intake in both viewing experience and variety, which may lead to some glaring omissions. Thankfully, Gary leads a life of soul crushing desperation that cries out for something to silence it, and film is his muffler of choice.
The Bottom Five Worst Films of 2011 (that I’ve seen) of the year, in descending order of suckiness:
5. Rampart – Starring Woody Harrelson
This one isn’t so much bad as it is incomplete. In it, Harrelson is touted as being the “most corrupt cop ever depicted on screen”. If they include the small screen and can work Vic Mackey in there, then Harrelson’s character may crack the top 10, but he’s by no means the “most corrupt” of anything I’ve seen depicted on a screen. Not even the most corrupt crossing guard.
It’s an okay movie that just kind of goes on and on until it just ends. Not even an abrupt “Sopranos” series finale type ending, it just kind of dwindles away until you realize you’re looking at credits.
I was able to watch this while Gary was at work and his then-houseguest Edgar had scored a bootleg copy off of a kid who traded it for chewing tobacco and porno mags from the local gas station. I think Edgar got the crap end of that stick.
4. 30 Minutes or Less – Starring Jesse Eisenberg and Aziz Ansari
This one broke my heart. Aziz Ansari is hilarious, and the always-funny Danny McBride is featured so heavily that it’s practically his movie. It just has a cartoon plot and the only grace brought to it was some witty lines and the charm of the actors delivering them. Car chases and gun fights just didn’t belong in this one, but I suspect that since it clocked in at 83 minutes, they needed something to fill the time.
Gary threw this one on one night, shortly after Edgar was carted off to jail for a DUI with “special circumstances” (legalese for "defecating out the window of a moving car"). Gary was feeling particularly lonely, so he ordered a pizza and figured he’d play this in the background, hoping to use it to strike up a conversation with the mildly attractive delivery girl with the nose-rings and jailhouse tats . When he explained the plot, which involved the kidnapping and attempted murder of a pizza delivery driver, he received a much deserved taser to the neck.
3. Season of the Witch – Starring Nicolas Cage
Edgar considered this to be “Shakespearean” fare, since Nicolas Cage wasn’t acting crazy and spoke with an accent (although exactly which accent he was going for will be debated throughout the ages). This film suffered from not really committing to being about something. It seemed like a weak criticism of the Catholic Church, but in the end pretty much confirms that the Church was right all along. In the end, it felt more like something that was produced to launder money for the Armenian mob than an artistic endeavor in any sense. There was effort put in. There was skill at work. It just seemed like it was infused with about as much purpose and passion as prison cafeteria food.
Sadly, it was my machinations that brought this into Gary’s home. I had devised a system for ranking Nicolas Cage's films according to how many times he does “that thing”. You know… that Nicolas Cage thing. It can’t really be described. There’s a lot of teeth involved, and head movements with some eye bulging. I only know that when I see it, I take a drink. And this movie didn’t even get me buzzed.
2. The Thing – Starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead
This year’s The Thing is touted as a prequel instead of a remake. And it goes to great lengths to tie its, let’s call it “plot," to the events of the John Carpenter masterpiece of the same name. Fans of the Carpenter version will recall the discovery of the ill-fated Norwegian camp in Antarctica by Kurt Russell and his beard and awesome hair. If the 2011 version hadn’t tried so hard to keep consistent, a die-hard fan of the Carpenter version, like me, wouldn’t be so hard on it for failing so miserably at it. I can go into the fanboy depths of why this movie does not jive with what it’s trying to jive with, but I’m also looking at it in terms of quality. It’s just not a very good movie. It’s not scary, the characters are disposable, and the special effects suck on their own, especially in comparison to its nearly 30-year-old predecessor.
Edgar scored a copy of this while working at The Juggs Hut, a strip club where he sometimes works as a bouncer. While a bachelor party raged inside, Edgar went through their cars and lifted several laptops, one of which had a plethora of bootleg movies. Unfortunately, Sheila “The Kitchen Sink” Hogan, the featured dancer that evening, wound up stabbing one of the bachelor party attendees in the neck with the heel of her spike-heeled thigh high vinyl boot after the poor bastard staggered drunkenly on the stage and demanded a “face dance”. The guy recovered, but Edgar was let go for not being there to prevent the incident.
1. Shark Night 3D – Starring Sara Paxton
You know the kind of movies that are bad and they know they’re bad, so in a way they’re kind of good? If you’re aiming for bad and you hit the mark, the result can be enjoyable. But when you’re aiming for bad and you miss, boy oh boy does it suck. With some movies, like Showgirls, it bestows a certain watchable revulsion. But then you have something like Shark Night 3D.
It suffers from one of those “we’re just kidding” plots combined with characters that aren’t even interesting enough to be eviscerated by sharks, which the movie does succeed at proving beyond a shadow of a doubt. It’s presumably Shark “Night” because having the shark action take place in a well-lit environment would require better special effects. It was like watching Deep Blue Sea done with Muppets.
Edgar insisted that Gary watch this movie, it being among the films in the purloined laptop that had brought us such fare as The Thing. Edgar was especially appreciative that the film contained an ample helping of scantily clad females in danger of being assaulted by rednecks. So much so that he gave the film a standing ovation as it ended. He insisted they watch it again as Gary had slept through most of it. The argument that ensued sent Edgar drunkenly off into the night, and the fateful DUI that followed.
The Top Five Best Films of 2011 (that I’ve seen) of the year, in descending order of okayness:
5. Our Idiot Brother – Starring Paul Rudd
Here’s a cute little flick that left me with a smile on my face. Paul Rudd plays a naïve, good natured hippy in upstate New York whose sweet nature keeps him blissfully ignorant of the struggles of the real world. He’s not so much a slacker or a stoner loser as he is an idealist. He believes in the best in everybody, and he assumes everybody does likewise. Naturally, this gets him thrown in jail, and when he gets out he must rely on his three sisters, who are much more “normal” by comparison, for support until he can get his life together.
This was a welcome treat in a year of sequels and remakes and cynical attempts to cash in on one fad or another. It wisely avoids becoming the hipster showcase it could have and instead tells a human story about goodness and love that doesn’t descend into mushiness.
By the time this made its way to Gary’s house via Netflix, Edgar was in about the sixth month of his “one or two day” stay. Edgar was quickly disinterested in the film, but Gary tried to emphasize certain plot points, such as the Rudd character’s need to get a job, get his own place, get his life together. This all seemed to be lost on Edgar, evidenced by his request to borrow Gary’s credit card to sign up for a monthly subscription to an “extreme splatter fetish” web site. To date, the subscription has not been canceled.
4. Source Code – Starring Jake Gyllenhaal
This is sci-fi done right. That’s two in a row from Duncan Jones, whose 2009 film Moon was among my top five of that year. Here, Gyllenhaal plays a man who must repeat the last moments of another man’s life over and over again in order to solve the mystery of the terrorist attack that killed a train full of passengers. I was impressed by how the film played with time, identity, and the morality of tricking reality to save lives. There’s so much to savor in the revelations of the film that I’m hesitant to give anything away.
Gary had picked this film to watch on a first date with a woman he had met on a dating web site. Edgar had gone on a “smurf run” for the weekend, purchasing cold medicine from various stores across the state for a friend, so Gary had the house to himself. It was a good choice, as the romance of the film’s subplot is done quite well. If Gary had managed to sleep with her before she stole his wallet and his laptop, it would have been only the second most humiliating of his dates that I have witnessed.
3. Horrible Bosses – Starring Jason Bateman
Here’s an example of when a movie relies on the charm of the actors and the wit of the dialogue to overcome its thin premise and gets it right. It’s got a simple set up: three guys have bosses who are each uniquely horrible people, and those guys decide to kill those bosses. The cleverness of the film is that it sidesteps any moral equivocating on behalf of the audience and just lets the weird shit happen. Horrible Bosses is packed full of big name stars in the crassest roles of their careers and it doesn’t misuse a single one of them.
Gary watched this movie in rapt amazement, not quite laughing but breathlessly nodding his head throughout. While I’m not sure what it is that Gary does at his job, I do know that his boss has been referred to as a “micromanaging dickhead” and a “know-nothing hack”. So when the idea of killing the bosses is first suggested in the film, the almost erotically charged “yeah” that Gary let out sent chills up my spine, but did not diminish my enjoyment.
2. Contagion – Starring Matt Damon
This one can be considered Traffic with a virus instead of drugs. Steven Soderbergh manages to bring together a huge, far reaching cast spanning the globe into a singular, tight, cohesive narrative. The best comparison I can make is that Contagion is to Outbreak what Dark Knight is to the 1960s Adam West "Batman”.
A full review of “Contagion” is coming soon.
1. Drive – Starring Ryan Gosling
Here is an excellent example of when less is more. If someone were to ask me what my favorite part of Drive was, I would have to say it was the silences. The long, lingering silences where so much is communicated. And then broken. In essence, it was the elevator scene. Watch it and see if you disagree.
Ryan Gosling plays an unnamed hero who sells his time and expertise as a getaway driver. Just as he forms a rare connection with his neighbor, his world is thrown into turmoil when her husband returns home from prison, bringing with him a heist that the Driver participates in with the best of intentions. Albert Brooks gives an Oscar-demanding performance as a cold blooded bad guy who really just wanted things to work out, but knows when he’s gotta kill to protect his business.
Drive was another film brought into Gary’s home by Edgar, having acquired it in one shady manner or another. The aching loneliness of the film proved to be too much for Gary to handle sober, and it led to the drunk dial that resulted in a reunion with Penelope, his longtime ex-girlfriend and Edgar’s sister. Gary has also reunited with a love of alcohol and co-dependency with Penelope, so 2012 should be an interesting year.
At least when they’re both in a blackout drunk stupor it’s easier for me to sneak out of the walls and use the rest room.

Day One of Mary's Blog Tour
Please help me welcome my good friend and fellow blog mate who is kicking off a blog tour for her new release, Classic Murder: Mr. Romance. Mary lives in Magna, a little town west of Salt Lake City, Utah. Together with her husband, she has six grown children, and five wonderful grandsons and 2 beautiful granddaughters.
Mary and her husband love to travel, especially to the Caribbean for relaxing and Italy for the wine. With the experience from the exotic places she has visited, she is able to fill her books with colorful descriptions of cities, painting a colorful backdrop for her characters.
Mary and her husband are avid college football fans. They have season tickets to the UTES, University of Utah Football and they tailgate every game. They love tailgating so much, that they were married at a tailgating in 1999.
She's honored me with her first day of the blog tour, but you can follow her through the entire tour and maybe even win a copy of her book. For each blog, she's answering a single question about her book. Here's mine.
Liz: How did you come up with the idea for Classic Murder: Mr. Romance?
Mary: First off, thanks for hosting the kick off day of my blog tour. I have scheduled 10 days, each blog a different question from the host. Sort of like a continuing interview. I will also have two giveaways at the end of the blog tour. At the bottom, I’ll tell you how you can participate.
Now to the question. Liz, you know I’m a pantster, so basically it was a germ of an idea that started the ball a rolling. I love classic movies, and I watch them all the time. I can’t remember which movie I was watching, but it had Cary Grant in it. He was suave and debonair. I thought what a great character he’d make in one of my books.
And that’s how Classic Murder: Mr. Romance began. Adam Russo is handsome to a fault and has that suave and debonair air about him that makes all the women want him. A son of a factory worker in Detroit, he’s a self-made entrepreneur.
Then there’s Katie. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth and beautiful, she got tired of everyone only wanting to be her friend because of her money and looks. But never for her. In order to find out who her true friends were, she hides behind drab clothes and ugly glasses. Until she lands a job at the university with the great Mr. Romance. Then it’s time to stop hiding.
And as I said before, I’m a pantster. I had no idea who the villain was for a long time. Like my readers I had to figure out who it was and why.
Here’s a blurb for my new release Classic Murder: Mr. Romance
Adam enjoys a lifestyle most men only dream of. Then one day he wakes up to find the morning headlines blaring, "Another victim falls prey to Mr. Romance. Who is next?" He suddenly realizes his way of life is not only frivolous, but deadly.
Dubbed Mr. Romance by New York society for his romantic adventures, Adam Fernando Russo loves women. But lately he realizes how lonely it is coming home to an empty house. Can he settle for only one woman? After he makes a list of qualities worthy enough to merit giving up his desirable existence, suddenly recipients of his coveted attention mysteriously fall prey to a murderer. The murders seem unrelated with one exception--all the victims have recently returned from a fabulous weekend rendezvous with Mr. Romance.
Adam’s assistant, Katie Sinclair, knows Adam is innocent with airtight alibis. The police are at a loss so Adam and Katie work together to discover the link between the murders. As luck would have it, their plan to prove the murderer is copying classic Cary Grant movies goes astray just as Adam realizes his perfect woman has been by his side all along.
Available from BookStrand Publishing (Electronic Format, Print coming in spring 2011)
For an excerpt and to see the trailer visit my web site: http://www.marymartinez.com/mrromance.html
Now to the giveaways, everyone one who participates by commenting on each day of the tour will have their name placed in a drawing for a Photo Album and a signed copy of Watching Jenny.
Everyone who participates and comments on half of the days will have their name in a drawing for a download of Classic Murder: Mr. Romance (or they can wait until it’s in print for a signed copy)

Balt rolls again in Groningen – Willem II squanders lead against NAC
GRO-NEC | Emergency substitutions
Groningen coach Dennis van der Ree has to make two substitutions right at the start. Johan Hove and Oliver Antman, who were on the field at the time the game was stopped on Saturday, are not there today.
They are replaced by Laros Duarte and Luciano Valente, respectively.
Public outside the stadium makes themselves heard
Fans are not welcome inside the stadium today, but NAC supporters want to make themselves heard anyway. They do so by setting off fireworks. Outside the stadium this time, allowing the match to start as usual.
Groningen yearns for victory
FC Groningen won only one of its last eighteen premier league matches. That one win, a 3-0 home victory over Excelsior, was on Feb. 25 of this year. No team collected as few points from its last eighteen premier league games as the northerners.
In total, Groningen did not take the full spoils very often this season anyway, only four times. The current number seventeen of the premier league has already lost twenty games. Since the club was founded in 1971, Groningen lost as many league matches in a season only in 1973/1974.
What is the state of the matches?
At 2:30 p.m., the match resumed in Breda at a 0-1 score for the visitors from Tilburg. Elton Kabangu had scored the only goal so far just before the match was stopped.
At Groningen – NEC there is still a 0-0 score on the scoreboard when the match is kicked off again at 3 p.m.
This time there is no crowd in the stands in Breda and Groningen.
Clubs struggle, several tons of damage
FC Groningen and NEC are struggling with the KNVB’s tightened measures that allow matches to be suspended and stopped more quickly. Last weekend, both clubs had the dubious honor of being involved in the first suspended Eredivisie match after the new policy was implemented.
“We question the current consequences of the introduced policy in relation to the consequences for club and supporters, who are in the same boat with each other,” a spokesman for the Groningers stated.
The match was stopped because a Groningen fan threw a mug of beer at a linesman. According to the club, the suspended match results in damages of “a few tons.”
Read the entire article about it at the link below:
Possible Finalissima for AZ youth
The European adventure of the AZ talents does not end yet with the Youth League win. After all, a Finalissima.
Coach Jan Sierksma reveals that. So a battle with the winner of the South American Youth League lies ahead. “That will be a match between Under-20 teams. Whether it is true, I still have to get it confirmed. But it would be fantastic,” Sierksma said after the victory over Hajduk Split.
What the coach does know for sure: this youth team from AZ will be there during the Conference League game with West Ham United. His team will probably even get a lap of honor in the AFAS Stadium.
A week after the incident in Breda, the same thing happened in Groningen. One of the assistant referees was hit by a cup of beer thrown from the crowd. Referee Richard Martens then removed the players from the field in the eighteenth minute when the score was 0-0.
Because, unlike a week earlier in Breda, someone was hit by a thrown object, the players did not return to the field.
New rules applied for the first time
At NAC – Willem II, the KNVB’s tightened rules were applied for the first time.
The Football Association announced the tightening of measures after the “lighter incident” during the Feyenoord-Ajax cup match. A match is immediately stopped when a player or referee is hit from the audience by an object, as happened to Ajacied Davy Klaassen in De Kuip.
In the case of only throwing objects without hitting anyone, on a first occasion players and referees go to the dressing rooms and the match is temporarily stopped. On a second occasion, the game is stopped immediately.
Good afternoon and welcome to this weekday soccer liveblog. There are two games scheduled today, but they are no longer full games. In fact, both duels were stopped because objects were thrown onto the field from the stands.
In the first division match between NAC Breda and Willem II on April 14, it happened in the 74th minute. In the premier league match FC Groningen – NEC, on April 22, the players went back into the dressing room in the 18th minute.
Groningen, which has not won six premier league games in a row, could use a win in the fight against relegation. And even with a win against NEC, the gap with number sixteen Excelsior is still substantial: eight points with four games to play.

Visitor Math: Benefits of Awareness Research
Friday, April 12, 2019, 8am by Jonathan Freeze, CDME, EDP
In past posts, we’ve covered visitor profile research and shared stats about Raleigh area visitors’ current makeup (studied biennially by GRCVB); we’ve also covered the economic significance of producing visitor-friendly festivals/events here and how economic impacts can be calculated when event organizers work with GRCVB.
A third subject of CVB research is to study a place’s image in the minds of consumers and their tourism awareness of that place as a potential destination. From past personal experiences, news reports, fiction/TV/movies etc., potential visitors have images and perceptions of various places already in mind. Marketing theory also suggests that images can be created or shifted when consumers receive specific external messaging such as from CVB ads and promotions. The sum of their beliefs, ideas, images and impressions of a particular place is their image of that destination or destination image.
Importantly, consumers’ awareness, image and opinions of a destination can be tested quantitatively, and while this seems basic (and is relatively inexpensive to do via newer, online survey tools), it is one of the often-overlooked steps in developing a new marketing plan or even multiyear business plan (for a single business or, in our case, a county).
In GRCVB’s case, Raleigh/Wake County is the destination, which can’t be sampled/tested from anywhere at anytime like most consumer products brought to market. It’s even more important that we test potential visitors to target our outreach and shift their perceptions—to motivate travel as efficiently as possible.
GRCVB regularly tests the Raleigh area’s image statewide and nationally to better understand the awareness of our visitor markets as well as prospects’ attitudes/opinions regarding marketing message points and destination brand elements. The position that Raleigh/Wake County should occupy in visitors’ and prospects’ minds was heavily researched in 2014-2015 when developing the current Raleigh, N.C., Destination Brand Strategy.
Aside from macro/countywide brand implications, however, image and opinion research also can help GRCVB and its partners watch for any new sources of visitor negativity or constructive consumer feedback and monitor responses over time with regard to ongoing issues. An example of an issue that could have greatly impacted visitors’ perceptions of Raleigh (but did not, according to testing) was the recently completed Fortify I-40/440 Rebuild Project.
Great news is that our 2018 statewide testing of public opinion showed that destination brand elements and the brand promise articulated in 2015 are still resonating with consumers and potential visitors to the area. Also, Raleigh/Wake County continues to enjoy an incredibly positive destination image (less than two percent of North Carolinians held a negative image of us in 2018)!

Comparison of the characteristics of patients with invasive infections and noninvasive infections caused by Trichosporon asahii
- We performed retrospective study to identify the characteristics of invasive Trichosporon asahii infection. A total of 102 patients with T. asahii were identified including 18 (18%) with invasive infection. Invasive infection was associated with indwelling central venous catheter (94% vs 54%, P = .001), prior antifungal agent use (50% vs 18%, P = .01), hematologic malignancy (33% vs 7%, P = .006), and end-stage renal disease (28% vs 7%, P = .02). Patients with invasive infections had higher in-hospital mortality than patients with noninvasive infections (61% vs 27%, P = .006). Those with the above risk factors should be monitored for the development of invasive T. asahii infection.
Patients with indwelling central venous catheter, prior antifungal agent use, hematologic malignancy, and end-stage renal disease were associated with invasive Trichosporon asahii infection. Patients with invasive infections had higher in-hospital mortality than patients without invasive infection.

Is the thought of a laser cavity filling causing you to clench your teeth in anticipation of pain? At Eggleston Dental Care, we’re here to illuminate the reality of modern laser treatments, offering a surprisingly comfortable experience that may just change your mind about dental visits.
Understanding Laser Cavity Filling Basics
Laser cavity filling represents a modern approach to dental care that aims to minimize discomfort and improve patient experience. Unlike traditional drilling methods, laser dentistry uses concentrated light energy to precisely remove decay and prepare the tooth for a filling. This technique is known for its accuracy and the reduced need for anesthesia, as it typically causes less pain and vibration than conventional drills. Patients often report a more comfortable experience, which is a significant advantage for those who may feel anxious about dental procedures. To learn more about the benefits of this innovative method, you can Embrace Pain-Free Laser Dentistry for Gentle Oral Care.
The process of laser cavity filling involves the dentist using a specialized laser to target the affected area of the tooth with precision. This not only preserves more of the healthy tooth structure but also promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of infection. The absence of the traditional dental drill noise is another aspect that contributes to a more relaxed dental visit. As technology advances, laser treatments are becoming increasingly popular due to their efficiency and comfort. Patients interested in this high-tech dental solution should consult with their dentist to determine if laser cavity filling is the right choice for their specific needs.
Comparing Pain: Laser vs. Traditional Drills
When considering cavity treatment options, the potential for pain is a significant concern for many patients. Traditional dental drills can cause discomfort due to the vibration, pressure, and heat they generate, often necessitating local anesthesia to manage pain. In contrast, laser cavity filling, a modern dental technology, typically results in less discomfort. Lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light to cut through the tooth structure, which can be more precise and less invasive than drilling. This precision often translates to reduced pain and, in some cases, may eliminate the need for anesthesia altogether. Patients report that laser treatments are generally more comfortable, with many experiencing only a slight sensation during the procedure.
The comfort factor is a crucial aspect of patient satisfaction and dental experience. While individual pain thresholds vary, the consensus is that laser dentistry provides a more pleasant experience due to its gentle approach. The absence of the drill’s noise and sensation also contributes to a less intimidating and more relaxed dental visit. For those interested in exploring this advanced dental technology and its benefits, Discover Turlock Laser Dentistry Services to learn more about how laser treatments can enhance your dental care experience with minimal discomfort.
Anesthesia Use in Laser Dentistry
When considering the comfort level of laser cavity filling, it’s important to address the role of anesthesia in laser dentistry. Unlike traditional drilling methods, laser treatments often result in minimal discomfort, reducing the need for local anesthesia. However, the use of anesthesia is not entirely off the table. Dentists may still administer a topical or local anesthetic to ensure a pain-free experience, particularly for patients with heightened sensitivity or anxiety. The precision of laser technology allows for targeted treatment, which can further minimize pain and discomfort. As a result, patients can expect a more comfortable procedure with less reliance on anesthesia, making laser cavity fillings a favorable option for those apprehensive about dental pain.
Patient Comfort: Laser Filling Experiences
When considering the comfort level of laser cavity fillings, patient testimonials often highlight a significant reduction in discomfort compared to traditional drilling methods. The precision of laser dentistry allows for a minimally invasive approach, which typically results in less pain during and after the procedure. Many patients report feeling little to no sensation as the laser works to remove decay and prepare the tooth for filling, making it an appealing option for those with dental anxiety or a low pain threshold. The absence of the vibration and noise associated with conventional drills further contributes to a more relaxed dental experience, solidifying laser fillings as a modern solution for patient comfort during cavity treatment.
Recovery Time: Laser vs. Drill Fillings
When considering the recovery time between laser cavity fillings and traditional drill fillings, patients often report a significant difference in comfort and healing duration. Laser fillings typically boast a quicker recovery period due to their less invasive nature, which minimally affects the surrounding tooth structure and reduces trauma to the treated area. This precision leads to less post-operative sensitivity and discomfort, allowing patients to resume their normal activities almost immediately. In contrast, drill fillings may require a longer recovery time as the process can cause more irritation to the tooth and surrounding gums, potentially resulting in temporary sensitivity or pain that can last for a few days. Consequently, for those seeking a dental restoration option with minimal downtime, laser cavity fillings emerge as a superior choice.

It's no secret that despite having the longest-standing mobile networks on the continent, SA still has some of the highest mobile call rates in Africa. This week, Cell C went some way to correcting that when it announced it was cutting prepaid rates, and hinted that new post-paid pricing will follow soon, but there's arguably still a long way to go.
On Wednesday, 16 May 2012, Cell C announced it was dropping prepaid call rates to 99c/minute regardless of the time of day or destination network. Within minutes, Vodacom responded with its own price cut, that appeared, at first glance, to match Cell C's rate.
Vodacom's offering, however, sees customers billed 99c for the first minute, and then in 30-second increments thereafter. Cell C's new prepaid plan, on the other hand, is billed per second from the first second, making it much better priced and, more importantly, the more transparent of the two offerings.Continue reading

US company goals to make use of ‘timeless chemical substances’ in ingesting water | Environmental Information
The US Environmental Safety Company has proposed the primary federal restrict on so-called “everlasting chemical substances” within the nation’s ingesting water, which officers say will save lives.
Introduced Tuesday, the proposal, which is topic to public remark earlier than a ultimate rule is printed, would limit per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also called PFAS.
The substances have been linked to numerous well being issues, together with low delivery weight and kidney most cancers. They don’t naturally degrade the setting and are costly to take away from water.
Radhika Fox, EPA Assistant Administrator for Water, referred to as the proposal “transformational change.” The company estimates that this rule may scale back practically 100 million Individuals’ publicity to PFAS.
EPA proposes first-ever nationwide customary to restrict PFAS in ingesting water. This motion is a crucial step to guard communities from PFAS contamination, utilizing the newest scientific advances and constructing on present authorities efforts to restrict PFAS. pic.twitter.com/iBw91oL5Xh
— U.S. Environmental Safety Company (@EPA) March 14, 2023
“It’s clear to science that long-term publicity to PFAS is related to important well being dangers,” Fox stated.
A White Home assertion stated, “PFAS air pollution disproportionately impacts deprived communities and poses a significant risk to rural, suburban and concrete areas.”
Environmental and public well being advocates have been calling for federal regulation of PFAS chemical substances for years.
However whereas the EPA has repeatedly tightened its voluntary well being thresholds for chemical substances, it has not beforehand imposed obligatory restrictions on water suppliers.
In the meantime, solely a handful of states have issued PFAS laws, and none have set limits as stringent because the EPA proposes, which specialists say are technically possible technically slender requirements.
PFAS compounds have been used because the Nineteen Forties in industrial and shopper merchandise, together with non-stick pans, meals packaging, and firefighting foam. At the moment, their use within the US has principally been phased out, however some nonetheless stay.
The proposal would set limits at 4 components per trillion, the bottom stage that may be reliably measured, for 2 frequent varieties of PFAS compounds: perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctanosulfonic acid, referred to as PFOA and PFOS, respectively.
As well as, the EPA needs to control the whole variety of 4 different varieties of PFAS.
The Affiliation of State Ingesting Water Directors referred to as the proposal “a step in the best path” however famous that it could be a problem to adjust to it.
Regardless of the federal cash accessible, “important charge hikes could be required for many methods” to take away PFAS, the group stated on Tuesday.
The proposal would additionally regulate different varieties of PFASs, equivalent to GenX chemical substances, which producers used as substitutes when PFOA and PFOS have been phased out from shopper merchandise. The proposal would regulate the cumulative well being risk from these compounds and prescribe therapy if that risk is just too excessive.
“@EPAproposed restrictions on #PFAS Chemical compounds in ingesting water will stop severe sickness and dying. We urge the EPA to be simply as sturdy in holding polluters accountable for contaminated ingesting water throughout the nation.”

– Motion “Clear Water” (@cleanh2oaction) March 14, 2023
Robert Wendelgass, president of environmental group Clear Water Motion, stated in a press release that the EPA proposal “will stop severe sickness and dying.”
Nonetheless, he urged the company to be “equally decided in holding polluters accountable for contaminated ingesting water throughout the nation and in lowering using many hundreds of PFAS chemical substances in on a regular basis use.”
Others have questioned the proposal, with Sri Vedachalam, director of water and local weather resilience at Environmental Consulting & Expertise Inc, telling The Related Press that the rule would unfairly goal utility suppliers.
“This is a matter that has been handed on to the utilities by no fault of theirs,” he stated, including that communities might want to stability the brand new PFAS necessities with different public well being issues equivalent to eradicating poisonous lead pipes and changing outdated water. the community is liable to breakage.
The EPA not too long ago gave states $2 billion to eliminate pollution like PFAS and can launch billions extra within the coming years.
The company can be offering technical assist to small communities that may quickly be pressured to put in therapy methods, and the 2021 Infrastructure Regulation supplies funding to improve the water system.

A catering company that supplies a commercial meals delivery service has been shut down by Victoria's health department after a listeria outbreak was detected.
A woman in her 80s has died following the outbreak which has been traced back to a catering service called I Cook Foods in Dandenong South.
The I Cook Foods company supplies food to Meals on Wheels, aged care facilities and a number of hospitals in Melbourne's eastern and south-eastern suburbs and will be closed until the health department is satisfied it is safe.
Victoria’s Acting Chief Health Officer Dr Brett Sutton warned of the severity of listeria.
"More than a third of people infected can die", he said.
"Anyone who is elderly, immunised suppressed or pregnant women are at particular risk of invasive listeria disease".
In a statement to 9News.com.au, I Cook Foods director Ian Cook said: "This is a terrible tragedy, and our hearts go out to the family of the woman who has died.
"We are working closely with the health authorities and our suppliers to determine how listeria may have been introduced to the ingredients we cook in our factory.
"The source of the listeria is yet to be determined, and the health department is still looking at which part of the food handling process was at fault.
“We’re a family business operating for more 30 years. We are horrified this has happened and we’re doing everything possible to assist the health authorities.
“This has devastated my family, and we, as much as everyone else, wants to get to the bottom of how this happened.
"We take our responsibility in the preparation and handling of food extremely seriously, and that is reflected in a report from a University of Melbourne to the Department of Health that found no contamination on any of our food handling or preparation areas or equipment.
Victorians have also been warned to be cautious of measles after a boy in his late teens, is being treated in isolation after being diagnosed with the contagious virus.
He attends RMIT in central Melbourne and also lives in the CBD.
This case is not related to the previous two reported cases in Melbourne.
"Anyone who is unvaccinated is at highest risk of contracting measles,' said Dr Sutton.
“People need to have received two doses of measles-containing vaccine to be fully protected. Many adults have only received one vaccine against measles and therefore most cases are in this age group.
"Most people born before 1966 will have been exposed to measles in childhood, and therefore will be protected.”
There has been an additional unrelated case of measles in a returned overseas traveller who may have been infectious whilst in multiple public areas in the Melbourne Central Business District between Tuesday 12 February and Wednesday 20 February 2019.

Kevan Miller hasn't appeared in a game for the Bruins since April 4 due to a fractured kneecap, but there's finally some encouraging news regarding the defenseman's recovery.
On Wednesday, B's head coach Bruce Cassidy told Bruins.com's Eric Russo that Miller is "getting closer" to joining the team although there still is no projected return date.
“I don’t know if it’s two (days) on, one off, or what they’ve got him on,” Cassidy said. “But he’s getting closer. Until he’s with the team, it’s hard to project (a return date). Let’s get him with the team, get him in a normal sweater, get some contact and I’ll probably have a better timeline of when he can return. So far so good, he’s working hard on the drills he’s been given.”
With fellow defenseman John Moore also missing time as he recovers from shoulder surgery, Miller would be a welcome addition to the Bruins' blue line.
For now, though, the Bruins will be tasked with taking on a couple of tough Atlantic Division foes in their next two matchups. They'll host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night at 7 p.m. ET, then visit the Toronto Maple Leafs for a Saturday night matchup at 7 p.m. ET.

From a Cub to a Lion, Brandon Ritchey’s Baseball Success Story
The Boys Baseball team roared their way to a 9-3 record this season led by coaches Kevin Lawrence, Tyler Taylor, and Brandon White. Senior Captain Brandon Ritchey says that the story behind their great season thus far is the closeness and competitiveness of the team.
Ritchey told The Leonid in an email interview, “The guys are all close with each other, and we have a lot of fun together. I believe that all being close and all working towards one goal is what makes this team special.” Ritchey said, “I wouldn’t want to go out and play with a different group of guys.”
Ritchey’s journey as a baseball player started long ago, when he started playing for the Red Lion tee-ball program. Shortly after, he began playing in the Red Lion and Windsor Recreational Leagues, and when he reached high school, he played for the school team, Felton in the men’s league, and club ball for Backyard University. In the summer, he plays for Red Lion’s Legion team as well.
Ritchey is also a leader for Red Lion on and off the field, and Ritchey believes that his great knowledge about the game has allowed him to improve.
“Knowing how things are supposed to work makes it much easier to figure out what you are doing wrong,” Ritchey said. “I also think having a good knowledge of the game has helped me to be a leader for my team. It has helped me to know what to say, and more importantly when to say it.”
Ritchey plays third base, but he can also play shortstop and right field depending on who is on the mound. Ritchey has played on the varsity team for three seasons and also hopes to continue to play baseball at the collegiate level at Penn State York next season.
Despite having a successful season, Ritchey said it hasn’t been easy for the Lions to this point.
“The team has faced adversity due to injuries,” Ritchey said. “Teams are supposed to have 17 active players, but because of injury, they currently only have 14 available guys. This can make things tough for the players and coaches, not having many people to work with.”
Despite the injury bug hitting their team hard, they have persevered and now find themselves six games above .500, 12 games into the season.
Ritchey also faced adversity himself. Back in his Sophomore season, he made the varsity team, and then the world was put on pause because of the COVID pandemic.
“This hurt me greatly as I knew about all the fun memories and experiences that I would miss out on,” Ritchey said.
Ritchey also says that changing positions has been a challenge for him. “I was always a shortstop growing up, however due to injuries and other things like that, my team has needed me in multiple positions.”
Furthermore, Ritchey feels the team’s greatest accomplishment is overcoming a tough week, where they went 0-3 and lost to Dallastown in an extra inning walk off game.
“This hurt everyone on the team. However, after losing three straight, everyone has remained focused and determined,” Ritchey said. “This has led us to win every game since then and we don’t plan on stopping.”
As the Lions approach the final five games of their regular season, Ritchey opened up about what Red Lion baseball and his coaches taught him throughout his high school career.
“Obviously our games are important, but the coaches all know that teaching us life lessons comes first,” Ritchey stated. “Life lessons such as how to go about each day, fight adversity, as well as how to treat others with respect are all lessons that are shown repeatedly by my coaches.”
Brandon Ritchey has been an integral part of Red Lion’s baseball team, and looks to cap off his career as a Lion by leading them into the postseason, for a shot at all the glory.
“We know that we have the talent and drive to go out and win every day,” Ritchey said.

In the article, ”Gun Demanding: The Psychology of Why People Want Firearms” (Burnett 2018) I learned about the psychology of gun owners. After several mass shootings, the topic of gun control has become a heated debate in America. One side strongly believes in the right to bear arms while the opposing person feels a need for gun control. Amid the fire, Neurologist Dean Burnett answers the overlooked question of “Why do people want firearms?”. He talks about protection, recreation, paranoia, insecurity, social and cultural pressures, and everything else.
Personally, if I’m out with my family and feel danger is nearby, knowing that I have a form of defense on me would comfort the situation. Without a gun, gun owners feel paranoid and insecure. More specifically these people may feel vulnerable or “unclothed.” I believe protecting yourself and your family is vital and a gun would do the job. If someone breaks into my house I’m not going to come rushing at them with a broom, you can’t bring a sword to a gunfight and that’s just how it is. He also tells us that firearms provide a sense of security. He makes comparisons of a firearm to a big guard dog and security lights. He also gives us an example of keeping up with the latest iPhone which ties into the social and cultural factors of owning up-to-date devices. This is essential to many people and the same idea can be true with guns. Another idea is that if every American is armed, a simple pistol wouldn’t be as useful. This calls for more and bigger guns. Overall, we must understand why people want guns to regulate them better because gun owners are less likely to comply with being criticized.
As I learn more about gun rights and gun violence, I want to know more about how gun owners feel about gun control. Is it possible to find a middle ground in the debate?
