Tyrod Taylor probably needs a new team, the Denver Broncos probably need a new quarterback, and both sides could be getting just that this offseason.
Nicki Jhabvala of The Denver Post reported this week that many are pegging the Broncos as the top landing spot for the Buffalo Bills quarterback if he is released or traded, as expected. Jhabvala also notes Taylor’s connection with Broncos executive Gary Kubiak, who was previously the former Pro Bowler’s offensive coordinator on the Baltimore Ravens.
Denver’s QB play was atrocious last season — their trio under center of Trevor Siemian, Paxton Lynch, and Brock Osweiler always seemed to be injured, totally inept, or some combination of both. As for Taylor, he endured a rough year in Buffalo where he put up his career-worst numbers as a starter and was briefly benched for Nathan Peterman before his season came to a painful end.
Taylor, 28, will be owed a $10 million base salary for 2018 and a $6 million roster bonus due in March. But in any case, he probably has at least the raw talent to make a short-term difference for the Broncos after their 5-11 2017.
NFL wild-card weekend is complete, and we’re down to eight remaining teams in the postseason. Four teams are going home after suffering losses. That means plenty of goats will have an entire offseason to reflect on what went wrong for them at the worst possible time.
Here’s a list of 10 big disappointments from the first weekend of the NFL playoffs.
Andy Reid, Chiefs
The Chiefs’ second half collapse on Saturday will do nothing to dispel Reid’s reputation as a guy who can consistently get you to the playoffs, but doesn’t know how to win there. Up 18 points at halftime, the Chiefs sleepwalked through the second half, ultimately losing out to a Titans team that some viewed as the worst in the playoffs. Not everything that happened was Reid’s fault, but he ultimately bears responsibility — especially since this keeps happening on his watch.
Officiating in Chiefs-Titans game
A series of reports on Sunday indicated that referee Jeff Triplette, who headed the crew that worked the Chiefs/Titans game, was retiring. If he is, he certainly didn’t go out on a high note. His crew made several bizarre decisions during the game, most notably ruling Marcus Mariota down by forward progress, wiping out a fumble that could have changed the entire game. The explanation for that ruling was woefully insufficient. Playoff referees are supposed to get these assignments on merit, but it’s hard to see how Triplette and his crew got that assignment, especially after a performance like that.
The Buffalo Bills lost quarterback Tyrod Taylor late in Sunday’s wild card game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a possible head injury.
With the Bills desperately driving down seven with under two minutes left, Taylor was sacked and hit the ground hard, staying down for some time with what looked to be a potential concussion.

Nathan Peterman replaced Taylor and ended up throwing an interception, cutting the comeback attempt short.
As the Bills ended up losing, no word will be required on Taylor’s status going forward, but given how shaken he seemed to be and the length of time he stayed on the ground, it was a rather scary few moments for the quarterback and his team.
The Buffalo Bills were able to grind out a win in blizzard conditions against the Indianapolis Colts last weekend, and as a result they remain squarely in the playoff hunt. It sounds like it will be up to Tyrod Taylor to keep them there.
Taylor missed last Sunday’s game because of a knee injury, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the veteran is expected to start against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Bills head coach Sean McDermott reiterated on Wednesday that Taylor remains the team’s starter when healthy.
McDermott: “Tyrod has made some progress. He’ll get most of the work in practice today. When healthy, Tyrod is our starter. Nate Peterman remains in the concussion protocol.” pic.twitter.com/B9jGRdIYBT
— Buffalo Bills (@buffalobills) December 13, 2017
Rookie Nathan Peterman played well in Week 14 all things considered, but he left the game with a concussion and remains in the concussion protocol. In the event that neither Taylor nor Peterman can play, the Bills would be forced to start Joe Webb in an important divisional game.
Tyrod Taylor avoided structural damage when he suffered a knee injury in last week’s loss to the Patriots, but it sounds like there is a good chance he will have to miss at least one game.
On Friday, Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Tyrod Taylor was expected to get in a limited practice. However, he hinted that the veteran quarterback is more likely to serve as rookie Nathan Peterman’s backup on Sunday.
Sean McDermott says Tyrod Taylor will be limited Friday. He calls Taylor’s availability a game-time decision. Possibility Taylor could be active but the backup.

Taylor was fortunate that he did not sustain ligament damage, but he was carted off the field last Sunday with a towel draped over his head. He appeared to be in a great deal of pain after tweaking his knee in the first quarter and again on an incomplete pass attempt in the second half.
While beating the 3-9 Colts at home should not be difficult, Peterman did throw five interceptions — yes, five — in the first half of his NFL debut a few weeks back. With the Bills still in the playoff hunt, they can only hope Peterman finds a way to avoid another disaster if they need him to start.
Tyrod Taylor left Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots with what appeared to be a serious knee injury, but the quarterback has since gotten good news.
On Monday, the Bills announced that Taylor has a patellar tendon contusion and did not suffer any ligament damage. He is considered day-to-day.
Tyrod Taylor is day-to-day with a patellar tendon contusion. No ligament damage.

Taylor tweaked his left knee early in on in his team’s loss to the Patriots, and he appeared to hurt it again after being hit on an incomplete pass attempt in the third quarter. He was carted off the field with a towel on his head and replaced by rookie Nathan Peterman.
The Bills say Taylor will remain the team’s starting quarterback if he can get healthy, and it sounds like his knee injury will be an issue of pain management going forward.

Norwalk finger-style guitarist Glenn Roth's new disc is a "Welcome Home"
Norwalk finger-style guitarist Glenn Roth sees his music developing and growing with each recording he makes. His new CD, "Welcome Home," his fifth, is no exception.
The twelve-song instrumental collection joins his other recordings, "Innovations" (2004), "Busker" (2006), "Into The Unknown" (2010), and "Holiday Music" (2014). "I'm constantly composing," said Roth. "I always have ideas floating around."
The guitarist wrote eleven tunes on "Welcome Home," naming them after people, places and events in his life, and included one cover, "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. The new disc was recorded at New Warsaw Studio in Brooklyn, N.Y., from last October to May of this year, mastered by Nick Lloyd at Firehouse 12 in New Haven, and released earlier this month. "My songs start with the tuning," explained Roth. "I mostly play in alternate or open tunings. The different tunings help me achieve different moods, melodies, and unique voicings. The tuning dictates the composition, for the most part. I try to dig deep into each tuning I use to discover new chord combinations and melodies that I wouldn't have written in standard tuning. I work on each tune relentlessly until it I feel it's complete. That can take one day, if I'm really lucky, or it may take years."
Local audiences can see Glenn Roth on stage when he performs with another local artist, singer-songwriter Kristen Graves, who is finishing up her first European tour, at 2 p.m. next Sunday, Nov. 1, at the Pequot Library in Southport. The concert is part of the "Music at Pequot Library" 2015-2016 Season. General admission tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. The library is located at 720 Pequot Avenue, in Southport. Call (203) 259-0346, or visit: www.pequotlibrary.org
Roth began performing with Graves three years ago. He's also started playing with singer-songwriter Shawn Taylor this past year. "I love playing with both Kristen and Shawn," he said. "They both are very busy on their own, but we all love playing the shows we have together. I think it brings out different elements of the music in all of us."
Roth has been busy. too. He just logged nearly 3,000 miles on a tour in the Mid/Southwest through Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico. "I'm working more and more at getting to perform in new states of the U.S. and beyond," he said. Closer to home, the guitarist remains a valued member of the MTA's Music Under New York (MUNY) program that presents live music throughout the New York City transit system. He has a life-time permit to perform in the program. "MUNY is great and has been a big part of my life for the last 11 years," he said. "I've been playing Mondays recently, in the mornings and afternoons, usually 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and again from 12 noon to 3 p.m., or however long my battery powered amp will last. You can usually find me in Grand Central in the Graybar Building or downstairs in the food court, and some other favorite locations, like 51st and Lexington, the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, and other places. Grand Central and the Shuttle are the easiest locations, so I usually try to get a permit for those in the mornings at least. It's great to be able to go to these locations and showcase my music to the masses."
And he's been working on building an even larger audience base with his "Busker TV" video blog. "Busker TV documents my day of busking around Manhattan," he said. "I'm a big fan of YouTube and was inspired by other Youtubers to start my own 'vlog.' I do it for fun as a video diary for myself, but I hope my audience enjoys it and others want to come along on my busking adventures." Visit www.glennroth.com, and take a look.
Another concert at the Pequot Library, this one happening this weekend, finds Brian Torff and the New Duke Ensemble, an eight-piece jazz band, performing at 2 p.m. on Sat., Oct. 24, in a show presented by Music for Youth and the library. The band performs updated arrangements of Duke Ellington's "Cotton Club" period through the 1960s. A master class for jazz ensemble students follows performance. The concert is free for adults attending with children. Adults attending without children are asked to make a goodwill donation that helps to sustain future programs. The registration fee for the class is $30. Space is limited. Call (203) 254-0123, for more information and to register. Visit: www.musicforyouth.net
The Trinity Episcopal Church in Southport presents a service of Choral Evensong at 5 p.m. on Sun., Nov. 1. A recital of chamber music, including a string quartet by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, will follow the service. This is the inaugural event in Trinity's new music series, Music Under the Spire. The Church is located at the corner of Center Street and Pequot Avenue in Southport. It's free and open to all.

ESA officials say the likely window for Tiangong 1 re-entry is between 8:00 p.m. EDT Sunday and early Monday morning.
The Aerospace Corp. predicted Tiangong 1's re-entry would take place within two hours of either side of 10.18am AEDT.
CBS News reports that the spacecraft only poses a slight risk to people and property, as most of the satellite is expected to burn up upon re-entry. "We have been able to confirm that there is a tumble, we just can't tell the orientation".
The colorless and volatile liquid, used in Tiangong-1's engine for fuel, is unsafe to humans.
Tiangong-1 had been slated for a controlled re-entry, but ceased functioning in March 2016.
Experts say most of it will burn up, but there will be some pieces that will land on earth. No one on the ground was injured.
In the years that followed it was used in docking and orbiting experiments as part of China's ambitious space programme, which aims to put a permanent space station in orbit by the early 2020s.

How advanced is China's space program? It has been visited by two crewed missions.
Launched in 2011 and visited by six Chinese astronauts, the 10m-long, 8.5-tonne Tiangong module was supposed to have been de-orbited in a planned manner. The completed 60-ton station is set to come into full service in 2022 and operate for at least a decade. It plans to send a manned mission to the moon in the future.
Based on its current trajectory, scientists have said the space station could land anywhere from Australia to the U.S. with the southern part of Michigans Lower Peninsula included in the strip of the United States? from northern California to Pennsylvania? where it might crash down, the report said.
The Chinese lost communication with the space station in 2016, meaning the reentry can not be controlled.
Nearly the entire Lower Peninsula has a wind advisory in effect from late morning Saturday to early evening Saturday. On Sunday, accumulations should only be a couple of inches, mainly on grassy surfaces from Nebraska to Pennsylvania.

Washington, April 14 (ANI): Researchers have developed a technology that detects damage to critical suspension components in military vehicles simply by driving over a speed bumplike "diagnostic cleat" containing sensors.
"Our aim is to save time and maintenance costs, but more importantly to reduce downtime by catching damage before it leads to failure in the field," said Douglas Adams, an associate professor of mechanical engineering and director of Purdue University's Center for Systems Integrity.
The vehicles are driven over the "tactical wheeled vehicle diagnostic cleat," which is like a rubber-jacketed speed bump equipped with sensors called triaxial accelerometers.
The system measures vibrations created by forces that a vehicle's tires apply to the cleat.
Damage is detected in the tires, wheel bearings and suspension components by using signal processing software to interpret the sensor data.
"Let's say one of the tires is severely under pressure. The cleat tells you to turn around and fill up that tire because you are about to embark on a 10-hour mission with this vehicle," Adams said.
"Or, you are returning the vehicle to the depot and the cleat tells you that the right rear suspension has a problem in the shock absorber or a critical bolt in the front suspension is broken. The maintenance personnel don't have to troubleshoot the vehicle. They know what to fix," he added.
The system also could be used in commercial applications to test civilian vehicles, he explained.
"The diagnostic cleat is designed to be quick and easy to use," said Joseph Gothamy, acting team leader for the reliability and durability modeling and simulation team at the U.S. Army center.
"The last thing we want to do is take time from already overburdened soldiers and maintenance officers. The cleat is a quick first check to determine what's mechanically wrong with a vehicle before wasting time hunting for potentially simple problems," he added.
The researchers tested their system in experiments with high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles, or Humvees, and also developed a computational model to simulate how the system works.
"Our simulated model showed us that we were capable of using the system accurately to detect damage to vehicle components, and our experiments with actual vehicles validated the model," said Adams.
"The system was sensitive to as little as a 5 percent change in the stiffness of the suspension," he added.
Findings show the method is capable of accurately identifying damage to vehicle tires and the suspension. (ANI)

Cubs' Baez latest Jacksonville product to ascend into All-Star
By Gene Frenette
Javier Baez had his coming out party during the Chicago Cubs’ postseason march to a World Series title in 2016, and the Arlington Country Day product is now having a breakout season.
The 25-year-old infielder, who was voted in as the National League starting second baseman for Tuesday’s All-Star game, enters the break with a .292 batting average, 19 home runs, 72 RBI, .328 on-base percentage, .571 slugging percentage and OPS of .899. In all those categories, Baez is on track for career-highs and has a personal best 18 stolen bases in 20 attempts, which includes stealing home twice. He also has 25 doubles and 29 multi-hit games.
Baez, a free-swinger who seldom takes walks, is making much better contact this year. His strikeout percentage has dropped from 38.5 percent during his first two seasons to 26.3 percent in 2018.
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy recently told USA Today that Baez’s unusual playing style, being a free spirit and sometimes overly aggressive at the plate, is something best left alone and just live with the results.
“You have to let them be who they are, and they’re going to get better with experience,” Bochy said. “Baez was a guy who did a lot of chasing. I’m sure it frustrated [the Cubs]. But now it’s getting a little more under control and consequently he’s having a big year.”
Baez, whose family moved to Jacksonville from Puerto Rico when he was 12, becomes the second-youngest Jacksonville high school player to make a major league All-Star team. Former Houston Astros first baseman Glenn Davis, a University Christian product, was four months younger than Baez when he made the 1986 NL All-Stars.
Here are capsules for other Jacksonville area high school products who saw time in the big leagues during the first half of 2018:
Mike Clevinger, Wolfson, P, Cleveland Indians
The 6-foot-4 right-hander won 12 games last season, but still had to prove himself by earning a job in the starting rotation during spring training. Clevinger has continued his gradual ascension in his third MLB season, compiling a 7-5 record with a 3.47 ERA as primarily the Indians’ No. 3 starter.
In 19 starts, he has a 3-1 ratio of strikeouts to walks (118-40). More importantly, Clevinger has become a more efficient pitcher, going slightly deeper into games this season by averaging 6 1/3 innings per start for the AL Central division leader.
Ben Gamel, Bishop Kenny, OF, Seattle Mariners
After spending the first couple weeks of the season on the disabled list with an oblique strain, Gamel has settled into a platoon role at the corner outfield positions with veteran Denard Span and Guillermo Heredia.
The 26-year-old Gamel struggled early on. He was hitting just .172 through May 15, then went on a tear in June and elevated his average at one point to a season-high .300. He’s currently hitting .286 with one home run and 10 RBI.
Howie Kendrick, West Nassau, OF/IF, Washington Nationals
For the first time in his 13-year MLB career, Kendrick saw his season come to an abrupt end when he tore his right Achilles while tracking down a fly ball in left field on May 19 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 34-year-old Kendrick had been a valuable contributor while filling in for several injured starters, including Daniel Murphy at second base.
Before the injury, Kendrick had a team-leading .303 batting average in 40 games, with four home runs and 12 RBI. He was acquired in a trade last July from the Philadelphia Phillies. His contract with Washington expires after the 2019 season.
Walker Lockett, Providence, P, San Diego Padres
The fourth-round 2012 draft pick was called up to the big leagues for the first time on May 31 from Triple-A El Paso. Lockett, 24, started the next day against the Cincinnati Reds, allowing four earned runs in 3 2/3 innings before being optioned back to Triple-A.
Lockett returned to San Diego last week and was used in relief against the Los Angeles Dodgers, allowing four hits and two runs in two innings. Lockett was optioned back to El Paso on Wednesday. In 16 Triple-A starts this season, Lockett is 3-7 with a 5.20 ERA.
Daniel Murphy, Englewood, 2B, Washington Nationals
After making the All-Star team three of the last four seasons, Murphy missed his first 64 games this year while recovering from knee surgery last October. He has struggled to find a hitting groove, with his batting average dipping below .200 until six hits in two games against the Pittsburgh Pirates last week.
Washington needs Murphy (.253, 1 HR, 12 RBI), a .298 career hitter, to stay healthy if it’s going to get back in the NL East division race.
Darren O'Day, Bishop Kenny, P, Baltimore Orioles
The 11-year submarine reliever saw his season come to an end last week when he decided to have surgery on his right hamstring because there was no guarantee rehabbing the injury would fix the problem. O'Day injured it while fielding a bunt against the Seattle Mariners on June 26.
Now in his seventh season with Baltimore, the 35-year-old O'Day was 0-2 this season in 20 appearances with a 3.60 ERA. The 2015 All-Star selection expects to be ready to start in 2019, the last year of his contract at a $9 million salary.
Austin Slater, Bolles School, OF, San Francisco Giants
Slater has been part of the Giants’ left-field-by-committee plan this season, twice being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, the last time on June 23. He has only 39 at-bats in 20 games, compiling a .282 average with no home runs and 5 RBI.
Until somebody wins the job on a permanent basis, Slater, the club’s No. 5 prospect, will likely continue as a part-time starter and primary left-handed pinch-hitter off the bench.
Adam Wainwright, Glynn Academy, P, St. Louis Cardinals
The 36-year-old right-hander been on the disabled list since mid-May with a right elbow injury that has taken longer to heal than originally expected.
Wainwright (1-3, 5.20 ERA) went on the disabled list in April with a strained left hamstring, then injured the elbow warming up for his first appearance. He’s made only four starts, last throwing 79 pitches on May 13 in 2 1/3 innings of a 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. The Cardinals remain hopeful he can return shortly after the All-Star break.


Exploring The Different Types of Lock Picks
Lock pick types can be confusing, so we created this Buyer’s Guide for you to use the next time you are looking to pick up a new set of picks or your first set of picks. Anytime you are looking to get a lock pick set, it’s important to know which tools are going to work for the lock at hand. In this lock picking tools buyers guide, we walk you through each different type of pick that you may see out there and breakdown the best use case for each one. Now when you are looking for a nice lock picking tool set, you will know which picks you will need to get the job done. It’s important to know how each pick functions so no matter what situation you find yourself in, you can use the right tool to get in.
There is no one easy answer to which picks will work the best for you. In fact, you should master picking with each type of pick so no matter what the occasion, you can get back into your home or property. Our favorite combination is usually a full rake or Bogota rake, coupled with an “L” shaped tension wrench, We’ve found that we can pick 90% of locks that we come into contact with using one of these combinations only, but find out what works best for you before making any rash decision.
After we walk through the various lock picking tool types, we will then give you a rundown of some of the top lock pick brands. This is not to say that you can’t find other quality pick tools that are generic. In fact, some of the best picks that we own are generic ones. In our buyer’s guide we only cover the top brands so you don’t have to worry about the lower quality guys. So, without any further adieu, let’s get started!
Lock Picking Tool Types And Functionality
These are the rigid, often bumpy looking lock picks. There are so many different types of rakes that it is hard to pinpoint all the different kinds, however they can generally be broken down into 3 broad categories. The way that you use a rake is by scrubbing the pick back and forth quickly across the pins. There is a massive variety of rakes out there and many derivations of each type as you can see in the graphic below.
This style has a very abrupt and high peak profile. It works the best on locks where the pins are off-set by large margins from one pin to the next. Of course, you won’t know if the lock’s pins are sitting in that configuration until you try to pick it or feel it out. We have used these on numerous door knob style locks with a ton of success, however for higher security door locks a different pick may be required. There are more types of snake rakes that we don’t picture here, but they all work similarly.
These picks have a short picking portion at the tip and are often rounded off at the end. Many simple padlocks and cheap door locks can be opened quickly with these. Some W rakes will have sharper points than others, it always depends on which lock you are picking to determine which W rake will prove the most effective. There are all kinds of Bogota rakes, so many in fact that we only show a few different kinds in the image above. Bogota rakes are some of the most popular and effective lock pick types that you can get your hands on.
These often go by the name of an L rake. You can recognize these by the length of the picking area length as it is the longest of all rake types. These often resemble a bump key configuration that you might see to bump door locks, motorcycle locks and other sorts. The best way to use these are to put them in and pull them out quickly, creating a gap in the shear line and turning the cylinder. We have personally found that many of the “high end” Master Locks can be picked with full rakes in less than 10 seconds in many cases.
Keep in mind that you will see all types of variations of these rake tools. Some will combine different constructions into one singular rake, like a diamond/rake combo. Often times, the top brands of lock picking tools will experiment with different variations and create new ones based on progressing lock technology.
Hooks are just how you would imagine they would look and function like. There are several different types of hooks, some with prongs and some with simple tips. The depth of the bend that is effective for your lock depends on the warding and the bitting. With these, you will have to individually pin pick each one independently.
This is a pick that is only used to take broken off keys out of locks. It looks like a diamond-style pick but has a grabber on the end to take the broken metal off. If you have ever broken your key off in a lock, this is a must have.
These look like someone put a little metal ball on the end of the pick. These are best suited for wafer and warded locks but can also work with many pin tumbler locks, especially Master Locks. Half balls are also very popular for wafer locks especially the cheaper, shallower locks that you may find at gyms and such.
These looks like somebody put two metal balls on the end of the pick. The one at the end of the pick is typically smaller than the one below it. These are also best suited for wafer locks and can also be raked with some simple padlocks. Often times you will also find half snowman lock picks as well, these are used in the same way and for similar locks.
Diamond picks feature a singular triangle at the end of the pick. The diamond style picks work really well with pin tumbler and wafer locks. These vary widely in size, sometimes you will find massive diamonds and other times they will be very small.
Perhaps the most important tool in your lock picking arsenal is the tension wrench. Timing on the use of this tool will propel you to lock picking excellence. Tension wrenches are also called torsion wrenches, so for future reference, they are the same thing. The reasons that they have this name is that you have to put tension on them as you are picking the lock in order for the cylinder to turn and unlock. There are a few different sorts of tension wrenches out there and some work better for certain applications.
The L Shape Tension Wrench
This torsion wrench is in the shape of an L. These types are not flat, the part that you insert into the bottom of the lock sticks out the side at a 90 degree angle. These wrenches are great because it is easier to bounce tension on and off as you pick your lock.
The Z Shape Tension Wrench
These wrenches are in a Z shape and are typically flat. Different from the L shape wrench, the portion of the tension wrench that goes inside of the lock does not stick out the side.
The Y Shape Tension Wrench
We tend not to need this type of wrench very often, however it does have it’s place especially if the lock that you are picking is long or hard to reach. The Y shape design provides a unique double insertion point and it’s always good to have one of these in your arsenal.
As you can see from the image above, there are endless types of tension wrenches. The best one of these is highly dependent on personal preference. It also depends on the type of lock that you are picking most often. Everyone uses the wrench at varying tension strengths and techniques. So, find the ones that work best for you and stick with them unless you get stuck in a sticky situation. Our favorites tend to be the L shape because it works well for our technique of torsion that we put on the wrench, but again that’s just us!
Best Brands Of Lock Picks
The best thing about GOSO is the variety of tension wrenches, rakes, single pin picks, bump keys and other picks that they have. The cases that they have are super high quality as well. The pricing varies like all companies of course but the prices that they have are very competitive and some of the cheapest high quality picks on the market. GOSO also has a wide variety of thicknesses and sizes which makes them the most diversified of all major lock pick brands. Their website is also clean and easy to navigate.
These guys are one of the most well known companies out there for lock picking professionals. Their picks are always polished for easy insertion and come in various thicknesses for those tough locks of different sizes. SouthOrd is also well known for having relatively inexpensive sets for the quality that they possess. Unfortunately the cases that come standard with their products will fail on you quickly so if you can find a better case, use it. When we were just starting out, we bought a lot of SouthOrd lock picks and they worked very well, in fact one of their tension wrenches are still my favorite to this day.
Peterson is another very reputable brand in the world of professional locksmiths. These tools are some of the more expensive ones that you will find. However, the finish on these picks make them particularly easy to sand down without the risk of having them snap. Another plus for Peterson is that they have high quality lock pick cases which makes it easy to throw them in a bag without worrying about the case getting destroyed.
The lock picks by HPC are typically made of steel and sets often come with duplicates. This is one of the biggest benefits of HPC because the worst thing is to have your picks break without any backups. The tools that HPC makes are very thin and better for locks that you may find in Eastern & Western Europe. The biggest downside of these locks is that they are not particularly smooth and polished. This makes it a little more difficult to rake a lock and you may have to sand it down to achieve the best picks.
The Wrap Up
Hopefully this article helps you pick your next lock picking set! A pro lock picker will have all these lock picking tools along just to be prepared with any given situation. No matter if you are just starting out or an experienced picker.

Here, we have covered the traditional lock picking tools and what they do. In the future, look for in depth buyer’s guides on car lock picks, motorcycle lock picks and more!

Once you’ve become comfortable with those then it’s time that you can upgrade to one of the professional lock pick sets. They vary in price from $50-$150 depending on the set count and brand.

PMB has played a vital role over the last decades in high density traffic load zones resulting immensely higher road life .
Due to our vast experience , we offer uniquely designed PMB plants with varying of level of automations and productivity to match our clients needs.
Modified bitumen production polymers & rubbers such as SBS, APP, PVC, EVA are blended with bitumen primarily used in the production of road surfaces & roofing felts. The polymers modify bitumen to improve its physical stability, flexibility & resistance to extreme temperatures.
Some polymers such as SBS are more difficult to dissolve/disperse & require high shear to achieve a satisfactory mixing time. Our jacketed in-line mixers attain this. The bitumen/polymer mix is recycled through the in-line homogenizer where the high shear rotor/stator work head rapidly disintegrates the polymer pieces. This high shear action exposes constantly increasing areas of fresh polymer to the surrounding bitumen, reducing the process time.
1. Polymer modified bitumen (SBS)
2. Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB)
3. Bitumen emulsions, under seals & waterproofing compounds
4. Bitumen cable insulation
1.) In-line homogenizer for modified bitumen Wahal engineers.
We offer a range of high shear in-line homogenizers developed for the disintegration & solubilization of polymers into bitumen for the production of modified bitumen. The body walls are electrically heating, ensuring that the product cannot cool or solidify inside machines.
Because processing products that solidify when cold requires thorough heat saturation before start-up, the machines ensure heat reaches all areas where residue accumulates.
Sealing is by means of a graphite/carbon fiber gland packing, designed for operation on bitumen’s. Standard mechanical shaft seals are available according to the application and the batch size can also be varied. Like all our units, in our interchangeable stators can adapt the machine for varying processes.

A simple yet fullfilling delight that you would never turn your face to, if it was served to you by even the worst cook you know.
Toasta has been something that has been on my radar for some time now, seeing their food trucks out and about, but being a weekend worker I have not been able to get there. Luckily for me Toasta has opened up a small little place nested on the corner of the quiet streets of West Melbourne.
A simple offer of toasted sandwiches accompanied with a coffee or for those luxury types a beer or cider. Bringing things back to basics with a modern twist of flavour combinations.
Take for example the the 'Greg', thick bread slices filled with a mix of scrambled egg, capers and dill with a touch of mayo. Added as extra sliced bacon and pickles. Rich but an utter flavour bomb to experience. I would highly recommend to enjoy this with a beer for a lunch time choice,
Now the 'Mack Daddy' is the daddy of all the toasted sandwiches here. Cheesy mac accompanied with pulled pork, bbq sauce, caramelised onions and of course cheese. Stings of melted cheese pulls away from the first bite you take, and follows with a creamy salty taste everything that makes the world of eating perfect. Hints of succulent pork cuts through with the onions and bbq sauce.
This one was the one that did it for me today - my suggestion to encounter for a first try.
For those who like to overdose themselves in cheese goodness, then grab the 'Rami', gorgonzola and cheese blend melted together with pastrami, spinach and caramelised onions. This very rich but delicious toastie is one for the cheese fans. A beautiful salty cheese combination mellowed out with the slithers of pastrami is well enjoyed. I do have to say that when I say rich, it is intense, recommending it to be one to share.
Service here is welcoming and humble. It's a great escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. For something on the run or to take a quick lunch break it is a fabulous way to unwind.
Be sure to check out Toasta & co or find out where their food trucks are headed. It's worth the hunt and sure to be a crowed pleaser.

Japan's space agency, hoping to capture a share of the lucrative world satellite trade, put a brave face Thursday on the loss of the biggest satellite it has launched.
Officials said the loss of the experimental satellite into uncontrolled orbit was more a blow to the agency's pride than a major scientific and commercial setback.The launch of Kiku (chrysanthemum) No. 6 Sunday, which was abandoned to the heavens Wednesday, was intended to show that Japan's first home-grown satellite launcher, the H2, could do the same work as other commercial launchers.
The rocket worked but the satellite failed, losing $415 million of taxpayers' money. It was an experimental satellite and uninsured.
"It has nothing to do with the H2 rocket," National Space Development Agency (NASDA) spokeswoman Akiko Suzuki said Thurs-day. "The H2 mission went per-fectly. It put the satellite into orbit."
Engineers gave up on the satellite, Japan's largest ever, after an engine valve failed and it could not get onto a geostationary orbit as planned.
The cause of the hitch was not yet clear, but space experts said it was probably a random failure or a workmanship problem. The valve that went wrong was not a key hi-tech component.
"The real setback for the country is the failure to test some of the communications packages," said an official at a U.S. satellite company in Japan.

Predestination V1.10 has now gone live on Steam! This is the first major gameplay iteration since we officially entered beta and it revamps a large number of gameplay systems, so this is going to be a massive dev update article. The 3D ship designer has been improved with the promised Simple Editor Mode, and shield, armour, and engine modules have been rebalanced across all ship classes. We’ve also implemented ship refitting, ship crew bonuses, and the ability to rush ship production by spending BC.
The Star Claims system has been completely revamped into a much more useful version and a new galaxy map option will let you see claimed star systems. Asteroid Belts can now be found in star systems across the game, and the economy gameplay has been completely rebalanced to give players plenty of options for generating wealth to spend on ships. All races have now been rebalanced, each one has been given two unique technologies that tie into its play style, each now has a useful special trait, and new AI Behaviours will modify how each AI plays.
The user interface has been pretty high priority for this update, with the Fleet Combat user interface being completely redesigned and the City Stat and Planet Stat tabs on the Planet Screen being graphically overhauled. New right click Radial menus on the Galaxy and Fleet Combat parts of the game now let you quickly toggle various visual options, and new scrollbar and smooth highlight systems have improved the UI all across the game. The few remaining building models are now in-game, new building base graphics add some visual polish to cities, and several buildings have been rebalanced.
Read on for a full breakdown of everything in this enormous update, screenshots of new or changed gameplay, and details of other changes and major bugs fixed as part of the update.
It’s been some time since the last major dev update article, so this is going to be a big one as we have a lot to catch everyone up on! First I’d like to say thanks to all the people who offered words of support recently when I mentioned on Steam that my dad had passed away. We’ve been working hard on the game since then and the big news is of course that we hit a major milestone with the release of V1.0, which marked the point at which Predestination officially left alpha and entered the beta release stage.
All of the gameplay is complete in V1.0, and we began a series of iterations and overhauls touching on almost every part of the game using your feedback. We’ve already deployed several hotfixes and our first gameplay iteration on the Resource system, and have started a whole series of other iterations across the game that should make it a lot more fun and cohesive. The upcoming V1.1 major iteration update will contain a total economy balance overhaul, new economic options, a sweeping rebalance of race bonuses, an overhaul to the Star Claims diplomacy gameplay, random event improvements, asteroid mining, planet gameplay improvements, a ship design overhaul, major AI improvements, and more.
In this dev update, we’ll briefly break down all of the improvements made in V1.0 and the subsequent V1.01 to v1.03 hotfixes. Then we’ll delve into the details of major iterative improvements we’re working on or considering for each area of the game.
Recently we released the massive V0.9 update to Predestination, our second last major update before we hit V1.0 and officially enter our final beta phase, at which point we can start delivering all of the remaining content (singleplayer missions, kickstarter backer content etc) and heavily polishing the game up for full release. We’ve been busy working on V1.0 and on a few unannounced things since V0.9 went live, and in this Dev Update we’d like to share details of all of that with you along with an updated estimate on the impending release of V1.0.
The biggest change is that we’ve upgraded the Predestination engine from using parts of the old XNA 3.1 framework to using the newer MonoGame framework. This took considerable work but is now complete and will lead to performance improvements, 64-bit compatibility, memory problems solved, more scope for modders, and possibly even cross-platform support. We’ve also recorded voice lines to spice up the Diplomacy system, added a Score screen after each game to let you know how well you did, and we’re part way through developing the first Challenge Map. Also on the agenda for V1.0 are major improvements to fleet combat (both gameplay and graphics improvements), graphical improvements to weapons, new sound effects, notification improvements, building models, and AI improvements.
We’ve just released the enormous V0.9.9.0 update, the last update before we hit the big V1.0 release and enter the iteration and refinement phase. This update includes a massive overhaul of the Diplomacy gameplay with an all-new favour system, new diplomatic advisors, several new technologies, the Threats and Coercions system, a new Star Claim feature, and significant improvements to the AI diplomacy algorithms. The Spying gameplay has been improved with a simpler deployment system (including Send Spy shortcut buttons), changes to the spy missions themselves, new technologies, and Spying being finally tied into the Diplomacy AI.
This update also completely revamps the main menu screen with new visuals and highly requested features such as a load game panel, finishes off the New Game screen with the ability to pick your race colour and crashed ship types, and completes the dropdown menu interface with the final Fleets menu to let you see all of your ships at a glance. We’ve also improved the galaxy generation algorithm, tweaked the Aquatic race balance, added our second-last set of building and infrastructure models, filled the remaining gaps in the diplomacy text, and more.
Read on for a full progress report on everything in the V0.9.9.0 update. This update is so big that we’ll be releasing information on what’s coming next in the big V1.0 release and beyond in a further update article soon!
Following the recent implementation of the singleplayer mission system and robotic race overhaul, we successfully deployed V0.9.8.0 earlier this month. We’ve released a number of fixes for reported bugs and the game is now running smoothly as V0.9.8.4.
This update adds all but one of the dropdown menu interfaces that help players organise their growing empires a lot more effectively, keeping track of planets you’ve discovered and alerting you to problems in your colonies. We also took the opportunity to implement custom player-designed starbases, improve starbase technologies, and improve the 3D ship designer user interface to make it easier to find the ship parts you want and modify existing designs.
Read on for a full breakdown and progress report on everything in V0.9.8.0 and details of what’s to come in V0.9.9.0.

The following is selected information from several topics in the old forum, about a problem where traps or summoned / resurrected creatures would immediately turn hostile towards you. Sometimes associated with this, some spells can miss-fire causing you to hit yourself.
If you run into this bug, one person managed a temporary fix by banishing the scorpion he still had (and sleeping, maybe, IIRC) before hitting the gong. In the wastelands the trap skill started working again and he cast Aura of Command on a couple scorpions; once they died, however, new ones were hostile. Otherwise, you can use iZakaroN's SaveEditor
to remove the skill points you placed in these abilities, and use them to adjust your strategy and playing style around this bug.

, in the old forum: weird hostile scorpion trap bug
the mighty stamar;
Well it might not even be a bug but Id like to describe what happened.
I have 2 scorpion traps following me around, and just for the heck of it I resurrected an orc.
The scorpion traps attacked the orc, but the suddenly the orc and both scorpion traps turned hostile.
I ran naturally not having any way in hell to kill 2 level 300 scorpion traps. I ran to a teleporter to the 7 council chambers. But they both teleported there with me.
None of my buddies would help me fight the scorpion traps so I summoned a skeleton wall. They turned hostile also, but they at least would fight the scorpion traps and each other. A melee ensued and fortunately one of the scorpion traps killed the other one.
HERES THE WEIRDEST PART. When I cast a spell at the scorpion traps, it damages ME and not them. So all I can do to try and damage them is fire my bow which does very little( I was curious as to how much exp I would get for a level 300 scorpion trap.)
So in my quest to kill the one scorpion trap I teleported to rivertown to pick up some more traps, to see if one would kill the other. Nope, all scorpion traps are hostile to me ( although they are also hostile to eachother)
This was fun, however I decided I would probably have a tough time finishing the game with all hostile summoned creatures so I went back to an earlier save.
WEll that is my next quest lol, how to kill scorpion traps mano y mano lol.
Cause the only thing that has killed them so far are other scorpion traps. They dont freeze and all damage from spells go back to you, which I dont understand at all. I would bet you need frost sword which I dont have but Ill experiment.
The people like the guards and what not ignore them, and the traps ignore the guards. They only seem to want to kill you and other summoned things. And they follow you when you teleport there is no escape lol. I had some fun with it, I will try to isolate why they went hostile exactly.
Most things you resurect are neutral, but the scorpions themselves may just hate orcs no matter what, which caused a weird chain of events in the hostile logic.
Good thing you noticed this right away, and were able to re-load a recent save. There appears to be a delay when resurrecting creatures before they are seen as allies by your traps. Perhaps this problem can be avoided my not mixing traps and summoned / resurrected creatures?
the mighty stamar;
You want to know the really funky thing? When your summons are hostile, your magic is hostile too. I'm playing around with it more and I will a little each day, I'll have a seperate hostile game save in my quest to kill scorpion traps.
But it just seems to be the case that whatever I target with a spell damages me. Somewhere in the code all magic has a 'faction' and aparently once you piss one magic aspect off, its all angrry with you.
Lol its sort of weird.

, in the old forum: All Summonings suddenly goes Hostile???
Help guys, i'm stuck in a bug i think, all my summonings goes hostile and kill me on sight, plus even now my scropions and spider traps goes against me. Furthermore sometimes even my own arrows and fireball backfires...man this is irritating
it's already day two and my scropion traps still behave in hostile, even sometimes when i use the poison weapon the bow backfires? anybody encounter this problem. I think the reason of it, is that i tried to cast a ressurection to a soldier died outside the barrack near the mind control area, and a orc as well...both of them started attacking me...i think this is cause of it? or am i cursed or something?

, in the old forum: Summoning help!!
Umm... I don't know if this has been posted, but I've just reached the part where you return as the divine one and I was counting on the deadly gift skill to help me clear the imps, but instead of being friendly, the steel scorpioins started attacking me instead. Even the dreadknight and skeletons are hostile for some reason. Not only that, but I loaded the a previous save (just before you ring the gong) and it tried the same test and the dreadknight immediately attacked me in that game too. I tried an earlier game (waaaay older) but the summoning is normal in that game. Is this a bug and can it be fixed, because I don't want to start all over again.
Oh, and I've also tried aura of command and charm on them.... didn't work. Neither did banish...
I had this bug too. I discovered that all my summonings go hostile after I fooled around with the resurrect skill like ressing guards, orcs, dogs, chickens etc and summoning a few skeletons for creating an army of different races when suddenly the orc I resurrected became hostile and I checked my minimap and found red crosses on all my summoned and ressed creatures. Later at wastelands I planned to use Scorps but they're hostile too
I think I got it now... all your summonings become hostile if you resurrect creatures generated during cutscenes (eg. the orcs attacking the barracks, the first dragon you encounter, the orcs that the knight Seth kills, etc...) After that, anything you summon would be hostile.
I'll investigate this bug a little more...
Good luck Another might-be possibility is that you accidentally misfired and hits a resurrected/summoned creature (like with splitting arrows) and all future summoned creatures become hostile (like with cats and dogs)

MBDA’s Marte ER anti-ship missile has completed its first firing, successfully passing a major phase in its development.
The firing trial was carried out on 9 November in an Italian test range. The Marte ER missile flew for more than 100 km on a planned trajectory that included several waypoints and sea skimming flight, successfully testing all flying phases.
Pasquale Di Bartolomeo, Executive Group Director Sales & Business Development and Managing Director MBDA Italia, commented: “This test is a further confirmation of the robustness of the ER version of the Marte family of multi-platform anti-ship missiles that can be launched by ships, helicopters, coastal batteries and fast jets. The Marte family has a strong and successful history both at domestic and international levels: most recently with Marte ER being ordered earlier in 2018 by the Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) for their new NH90 helicopters.”
“Marte is a single product family that can cover several missions, offering our customers a high level of operational flexibility in the area of maritime superiority, a domain where MBDA in Italy has been able throughout its long history not only to maintain but also to grow as well as further develop competencies and know-how,” he added.
The Marte ER program is progressing at full speed in order to meet customers’ requirements. Having completed the 18 months System Definition Phase, the full integration of Marte ER on the Eurofighter Typhoon platform is proceeding at pace in order to implement an anti-ship capability onto the fighter.
MBDA is the only European group capable of designing and producing missiles and missile systems that correspond to the full range of current and future operational needs of the three armed forces (land, sea and air).
With a significant presence in five European countries and within the USA, in 2017 MBDA achieved revenue of 3.1 billion Euros with an order book of 16.8 billion Euros.
With more than 90 armed forces customers in the world, MBDA is a world leader in missiles and missile systems. In total, the group offers a range of 45 missile systems and countermeasures products already in operational service and more than 15 others currently in development.
MBDA is jointly owned by Airbus (37.5%), BAE Systems (37.5%), and Leonardo (25%).

Kylie and hosts Mathew Horne and James Corden opened proceedings with an impromptu dance to Kylie’s ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’, Girls Aloud performed their winning song ‘The Promise’ drowning in a sea of pink feathers and Take That arrived in spectacular fashion, performing their last single ‘Greatest Day’, descending to the stage on a glittering UFO.
The Pet Shop Boys (with Chris sporting a rather becoming pink wig) were honoured with the ‘Outstanding Contribution To Music’ award, ending the awards ceremony with a medley of their hits, which featured live appearances from both The Killers’ Brandon Flowers (on ‘It’s A Sin’) and Lady Gaga (on the former Dusty Springfield collaboration ‘What Have I Done To Deserve This’).

Eight High Peak students were among the 49 who achieved nine A grades or better in their GCSE exams at King’s School.
Twenty-four per cent of all GCSE grades at the Macclesfield school were at A*; 57 per cent were at A*-A and 83 per cent at A*-B.
Headmaster Dr Simon Hyde said: “It is wonderful to see so many delighted students, whose hard-work and determination has reaped such fabulous rewards.
“These incredibly strong results will see the overwhelming majority of pupils progress to our sixth-form to pursue their academic dreams.”
Among the top scholars was Sameera Lyons, 16, from Chapel-en-le-Frith, who got seven A*s and three As, and Alex Blundell, 16, also from Chapel, who got seven A*s and two As.
Hockey player and Duke of Edinburgh medallist Rhys Bowen, 16, from Buxton, received seven A*s and two A grades, and Amy Johnson, 16, from Buxton, walked away with six A*s and three As.

I have posted new instructions for making a worm bin. Earlier this year, I had an accident when drilling in the side of bins, and I am now recommending you make holes in the top of your bins.
I was drilling holes in the side and the drill slipped off the plastic and hit me in the leg. Fortunately, I was wearing pants and I didn't hurt myself.
This scared me and made me think. Why drill holes in the sides?
The worms don't care where the holes are, and the sides are sloped and flex when you try to drill the holes (both of which make it harder than it needs to be).
Holes in the nice flat top would be so much easier. So I tried it and viola! Works just as well and it is much easier.
My revised worm bin instructions are on the Your Bin page.

William Ruto – Profile and Biography
William Kipchirchir Samoei arap Ruto was born 21 December 1966 in Kamagut, Uasin Gishu to the late Mzee Daniel Cheruiyot and Mama Sarah Cheruiyot.
William Ruto attended Kerotet Primary School for his primary school education then joined Wareng Secondary School for his Ordinary Levels education before proceeding to Kapsabet Boys, Nandi for his Advanced Levels.
He then went on to receive a BSc and MSc in botany from the University of Nairobi, graduating in 1990.
William Ruto Political Career
William Ruto was the Organising Secretary of Youth for Kanu ’92 (YK92), a group that was formed to drum up support for President Daniel arap Moi in the 1992 election.
In January 2006, Ruto declared publicly that he would stand for the presidency in the next general election, scheduled for December 2007. His statement was condemned by some of his KANU colleagues, including former president Daniel arap Moi.
William Ruto sought the nomination of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) as its presidential candidate, but in the party’s vote on 1 September 2007, he placed third with 368 votes, behind the winner, Raila Odinga (with 2,656 votes) and Musalia Mudavadi (with 391). Ruto expressed his support for Odinga after the vote. He resigned from his post as KANU secretary general on 6 October 2007.
The presidential election of December 2007 ended in an impasse. Kibaki and Odinga agreed to form a power-sharing government. In the grand coalition Cabinet named on 13 April 2008 and sworn in on 17 April, Ruto was appointed as Minister for Agriculture.

Online travel is a weird industry when it comes to its outsized marketing spend as compared with other types of businesses. None of this is shocking because it’s been the pattern for many years, but a BTIG investor report published Thursday put Booking Holdings’ marketing spend in a different context.
Booking Holdings, which owns brands including Booking.com, Kayak and Priceline, spent around $6 billion on marketing in 2022 — and that was about 35% of its total revenue. BTIG stated that Booking gets around 50% of its traffic direct, around 20 percent from free search engine listings, and 15% from paid search engine marketing — “and it spends billions annually to get that last piece.”
That’s worth repeating: Booking Holdings spent around $6 billion on sales and marketing last year to attract just 15% of visitors to its platform. (Sure, it directs some of that spend toward goals other than luring travelers to its platforms, but you get the general idea.)
How Expedia and Airbnb Do It
Over at rival Expedia Group, its marketing spend was even more top-heavy — around 47% of revenue last year.
Airbnb is an outlier in the online travel agency space because around 90% of its customers come directly to its website or app, as well as from free listings in search engines. You’ve heard the company’s talking points ad infinitum: Airbnb is so mainstream that it’s “a noun and a verb.”
