Mobile virtual reality (VR) is the most affordable experience for consumers who want to explore VR without spending a substantial amount of money. Additionally, the portability and massive install base of smartphone users, across the world, lead to its wide-scale adoption. VR headsets rely on the smartphone to display content and use numerous specially developed apps for the same.
For instance, Matterport VR Showcase is a virtual reality app compatible with Samsung Galaxy series (Android KitKat 4.4+), for which the Oculus Gear VR app needs to be installed on the device.
In 2016, approximately 87% of the virtual reality headsets sold worldwide were mobile phone-based, meaning a user’s smartphone mounted on the headset and operated as the screen. Popular mobile phone VR headsets include the Google Daydream View and Samsung Gear VR.
While VR for mobile is currently a less immersive experience than console and PC-based VR, its adoption is expected to increase over the forecast period, due to a host of technological advancements in the mobile VR space. Also, with the growth of smartphones, there is massive potential for the VR market, over the forecast period.

The global virtual reality market is witnessing a rise in competitiveness among the companies. The market consists of various major players, such as Oculus, Google, HTC, Samsung, Sony, and Lenovo. In terms of market share, these major players currently dominate the market. However, with increasing innovations in the technology, many of the companies are increasing their market presence by securing new contracts and by tapping new markets.
For instance, in June 2018, Oculus Go was launched in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada, less than two months after its US debut. The prices for the standalone VR headset started at EUR 199 (EUR 219/CDN 270). Further, in 2018, Sony Corporation patented a VR headset that combats simulation sickness with eye-tracking and more. According to the patents, the headset would use these features to establish a “health threshold value” that could presumably tell when a VR experience was becoming too intense for the user and then act accordingly.

Joe Girardi isn’t one to call out his players often, no matter the transgression.
But after Didi Gregorius’ base-running gaffe cost the Yankees at least a run in Wednesday’s 5-2 loss to the A’s, the manager made an exception.
Gregorius helped Oakland end the bottom of the seventh by practically running into third baseman Chris Coghlan, allowing himself to be tagged for the second out on Aaron Hicks’ one-out chopper. Coghlan was then able to fire to first in time to get Hicks to end the inning and keep it a 3-1 game.
“It’s bad base running,” a clearly agitated Girardi said after the Yankees lost for the sixth time in their last seven games to stay in the AL East cellar.
“You’ve got to understand what your run means,” Girardi said. “You can’t run into an out and turn it into a double play and we don’t get any runs. It’s a bad read.”
With the way the Yankees have been failing to come up with hits in scoring situations, every mistake is compounded.
That struggle is what helped lead to Gregorius’ mistake, according to the shortstop.
“It was stupid base running,” Gregorius said. “Everybody knows it.”
Gregorius said he tried to move too quickly, thinking only about getting to third, where he thought he could score on a passed ball or another Oakland miscue. Instead, his error solved the A’s problems.
“We’d probably have tied the game there,’’ said Gregorius, as another hit would have knotted the score. “It was a really stupid play.”
It’s the kind of lack of judgment that has cost Gregorius and the Yankees in the past.
“When you get on the base, [you say], ‘OK, what does my run mean?’ ” Girardi said. “You’ve got to run through plays in your head and understand what your run means.’’
That’s something Gregorius didn’t do.
“To me, it’s running plays through your head,” Girardi said. “Some guys are better than others at doing it. Some guys learn it. It’s a process. Whether playing offense, defense or running the bases, you’ve got to know what to do.”
Asked if it was because of Gregorius’ inexperience, Girardi, still irritated, said:
“I don’t know. I don’t know. That’s a blunder we have to take care of.”
Gregorius, who made strides last season after a horrific start to his Yankee tenure, did hit a solo homer Wednesday, but also made an error when he couldn’t handle a flip throw from Chase Headley while covering second in the fourth.
“We’re in a bad funk right now,” Gregorius said. “It’s not going our way.”

Ghana offers a rich and diverse product mix for prospective tourists with a range of unique and exciting natural, cultural and historical attractions. Natural attractions include national parks and natural reserves, scenic mountains and landscapes, rivers, waterfalls, lakes, and pristine beaches among others.
There is an enchanting variety of wildlife, ranging from elephants to monkeys and from marine turtles to crocodiles, as well as hundreds of colorful birds and butterfly species.

Discover the spectacular waterfalls such as the Boti waterfall, and the highest waterfall in the entire country – the Wli waterfall. There is also the Akaa Falls, which has Lookout rock as a nearby attraction. After climbing a somewhat frightening bamboo ladder, you arrive to top of a large flat rock that looks out over an amazing forest vista.
Kakum National Park: Tucked away in the Assin Attandanso reserve is the Kakum National Park and Canopy walkway that offers a spectacular scenery and a fascinating wildlife experience along with modern camping facilities. The park’s best-known feature is undoubtedly its seven suspension bridges which form a 333-meter long canopy walkway, suspended up to 27 meters above the forest floor from trees that are over 300 years old.. It is also a premier site for bird watchers, with over 300 species including eight species of global conservation concern.

Like most ancient fortifications in Ghana, Cape Coast Castle played a significant role in the gold and slave trades. But also, two significant contributions were made here: the arrival of Christianity, and the establishment of the first formal education system through Castle Schools. The castle has many interesting features including Dalzel Tower, the slave dungeons, and the cannons and mortars used in the Castle’s defense. Inside the castle is the West African Historical Museum is located and contains a growing collection of art and cultural objects, including ceremonial drums, old muskets, shackles from the slave trade and ancient pottery.

The notable items it encompasses include Asante King Prempeh II’s war attire and ceremonial dresses, palace furnishings, jewelry and royal insignia. It also houses the recreation of the Golden Stool, the literal seat of power of the Asante Kingdom and an item that influenced the final war between the British Imperial government and the Asante Empire.
Wechiau Hippo Sanctuary: Stretching along 40 km of the eastern bank of the Black Volta River, the Wechiau Hippopotamus Sanctuary is a protected area for hippos and associated species. It is home to one of only two remaining groups of hippopotamus in Ghana. Birdlife is also spectacular, with over 200 species on record.

The Fourth of July is a time for celebrating in style. The key to having a legendary summer party is to have the best drinks and the best playlist for the occasion. As Americans, we all know the importance of individuality and fun, which is why there are so many varieties of Fourth of July parties out there. From entertaining kiddies with their sparklers and hot dogs, to rocking a killer outdoor barbeque with dangerous explosives and excessive bandanas, each Fourth of July party is unique.
Your party environment relies on the background music to fuel conversation, dancing, and drinking (The “Shots” song, anyone?!). Minimize party planning stress by relying on online music streaming websites to do the playlist creating for you.
Be sure to crank that Pandora station to randomize song choices, or use Spotify to play specific playlists and songs at the click of a mouse. You can also use sites like Grooveshark to upload your own music into the streaming mix.
If you want to have a kickass playlist to suite your party by streaming music and offering up awesome drink choices, the following list has got you covered.

Our finished object for this week is Annie’s epic weaving project. There is about 30 feet of fabric here, lots of sock yarn, including our Loop House Fingering Weight too. We felt that we really needed to show the scope of her endeavour!
Thanks to Karen and Michelle for their fabric wrangling skills!
Here is a close-up so you can get a good look at the prettiness. The extra bits of colour are the ties that Annie saved from dyeing our yarn. How great is that!?
Have you thought that weaving is something you might want to try? Correna has a class starting on Jan. 7th at 6:00 pm, and another one on Feb. 25th. Check the “classes” section of our website for more info!

I am excited to announce that I am taking off to the UK in just two short weeks to study at the University of Arts London for a month during the summer semester! I am enrolled in a course called European Art History: London & Berlin at the Chelsea School of Arts under the Graphic Design Communication Program. You can take a further look into the course here: http://www.arts.ac.uk/chelsea/courses/study-abroad/summer-study-abroad/european-art-history/ . The class fulfills a liberal arts requirement for my Bachelors Degree at the Columbus College of Art & Design. I also get to travel to Berlin for the course which is an incredible opportunity especially since the art scene in Berlin has been changing dramatically. To know that I will get to experience that firsthand is incredible! When I finish the course, the credits will be transferred back to CCAD and I will return at the close of the summer to finish my last semester and graduate with my BFA in DECEMBER 2017!!!
Though I have managed to get everything in order for my trip abroad including flights, paid tuition, course approval forms, study abroad visa, and accommodations, I have recently experienced some unforeseen circumstances that have set me back financially. Things such as my reserved accommodations recently no longer being available to me. In an attempt to save money and maximize my experience while in the UK, I arranged accommodations with a friend. Unfortunately, that arrangement is no longer available to me so I need to find a new accommodation in a short amount of time. This circumstance ultimately has taken away from the savings that I accumulated as a safety net while abroad. The USD dollar amount posted reflects the GBP amount of estimated costs for accommodations and a bit extra to keep me afloat while abroad.
Instead of giving up, I’m doing what I’ve always done in my life which is persevere through a tough situation. Asking for help has never been the easiest thing for me to do, but my friends and family have always made it clear that they have my back, for which I am eternally grateful.
I completely understand if you are unable to give; simply taking the time out to hear my story means a lot to me. If you are able to give, anything will help. If you do decide to help out, I encourage you to leave your email as well so that I can reach out to you personally to obtain your address in order for me to send a special ‘Thank You’ postcard from overseas. Personally showing my gratitude and appreciation is extremely important to me.
Thank you all for your support, it does not go unnoticed.

At The Lazy D Ranch
From: A Story Of The Outdoor West
Helen Messiter was a young woman very much alive, which implies that she
was given to emotions; and as her machine skimmed over the ground to
the Lazy D she had them to spare. For from the first this young man had
taken her eye, and it had come upon her with a distinct shock that he
was the notorious scoundrel who was terrorizing the countryside. She
told herself almost passionately that she would never have believed it
if he had not said so himself. She knew quite well that the coldness
that had clutched her heart when he gave his name had had nothing to do
with fear. There had been chagrin, disappointment, but nothing in the
least like the terror she might have expected. The simple truth was that
he had seemed so much a man that it had hurt her to find him also a wild
Deep in her heart she resented the conviction forced upon her. Reckless
he undoubtedly was, at odds with the law surely, but it was hard to
admit that attractive personality to be the mask of fiendish cruelty
and sinister malice. And yet--the facts spoke for themselves. He had not
even attempted a denial. Still there was a mystery about him, else how
was it possible for two so distinct personalities to dwell together in
the same body.
She hated him with all her lusty young will; not only for what he was,
but also for what she had been disappointed in not finding him after her
first instinctive liking. Yet it was with an odd little thrill that
she ran down again into the coulee where her prosaic life had found its
first real adventure. He might be all they said, but nothing could wipe
out the facts that she had offered her life to save his, and that he
had lent her his body as a living shield for one exhilarating moment of
As she reached the hill summit beyond the coulee, Helen Messiter
was aware that a rider in ungainly chaps of white wool was rapidly
approaching. He dipped down into the next depression without seeing her;
and when they came face to face at the top of the rise the result was
instantaneous. His pony did an animated two-step not on the programme.
It took one glance at the diabolical machine, and went up on its hind
legs, preliminary to giving an elaborate exhibition of pitching. The
rider indulged in vivid profanity and plied his quirt vigorously. But
the bronco, with the fear of this unknown evil on its soul, varied its
bucking so effectively that the puncher astride its hurricane deck was
forced, in the language of his kind, to "take the dust."
His red head sailed through the air and landed in the white sand at
the girl's feet. For a moment he sat in the road and gazed with chagrin
after the vanishing heels of his mount. Then his wrathful eyes came
round to the owner of the machine that had caused the eruption. His
mouth had opened to give adequate expression to his feelings, when he
discovered anew the forgotten fact that he was dealing with a woman.
His jaw hung open for an instant in amaze; and when he remembered the
unedited vocabulary he had turned loose on the world a flood of purple
swept his tanned face.
She wanted to laugh, but wisely refrained. "I'm very sorry," was what
He stared in silence as he slowly picked himself from the ground. His
red hair rose like the quills of a porcupine above a face that had the
appearance of being unfinished. Neither nose nor mouth nor chin seemed
to be quite definite enough.
She choked down her gayety and offered renewed apologies.
"I was going for a doc," he explained, by way of opening his share of
"Then perhaps you had better jump in with me and ride back to the Lazy
D. I suppose that's where you came from?"
He scratched his vivid head helplessly. "Yes, ma'am."
"Then jump in."
"I was going to Bear Creek, ma'am," he added dubiously.
"How far is it?"
"'Bout twenty-five miles, and then some."
"You don't expect to walk, do you?"
"No; I allowed--"
"I'll take you back to the ranch, where you can get another horse."
"I reckon, ma'am, I'd ruther walk."
"I ain't used to them gas wagons."
"It's quite safe. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Reluctantly he got in beside her, as happy as a calf in a branding pen.
"Are you the lady that sashaid off with Ned Bannister?" he asked
presently, after he had had time to smother successively some of his
fear, wonder and delight at their smooth, swift progress.
"The boys allow you hadn't oughter have done it." Then, to place the
responsibility properly on shoulders broader than his own, he added:
"That's what Judd says."
"And who is Judd?"
"Judd, he's the foreman of the Lazy D."
Below them appeared the corrals and houses of a ranch nestling in a
little valley flanked by hills.
"This yere's the Lazy D," announced the youth, with pride, and in the
spirit of friendliness suggested a caution. "Judd, he's some peppery.
You wanter smooth him down some, seeing as he's riled up to-day."
A flicker of steel came into the blue eyes. "Indeed! Well, here we are."
"If it ain't Reddy, AND the lady with the flying machine," murmured a
freckled youth named McWilliams, emerging from the bunkhouse with a pan
of water which had been used to bathe the wound of one of the punctured
"What's that?" snapped a voice from within; and immediately its owner
appeared in the doorway and bored with narrowed black eyes the young
woman in the machine.
"Who are you?" he demanded, brusquely.
"Your target," she answered, quietly. "Would you like to take another
shot at me?"
The freckled lad broke out into a gurgle of laughter, at which the
black, swarthy man beside him wheeled round in a rage. "What you
cacklin' at, Mac?" he demanded, in a low voice.
"Oh, the things I notice," returned that youth jauntily, meeting the
other's anger without the flicker of an eyelid.
"It ain't healthy to be so noticin'," insinuated the other.
"Y'u don't say," came the prompt, sarcastic retort. "If you're such a
darned good judge of health, y'u better be attending to some of your
patients." He jerked a casual thumb over his shoulder toward the bunks
on which lay the wounded men.
"I shouldn't wonder but what there might be another patient for me to
attend to," snarled the foreman.
"That so? Well, turn your wolf loose when y'u get to feelin' real
devilish," jeered the undismayed one, strolling forward to assist Miss
Messiter to alight.
The mistress of the Lazy D had been aware of the byplay, but she had
caught neither the words nor their import. She took the offered brown
hand smilingly, for here again she looked into the frank eyes of the
West, unafraid and steady. She judged him not more than twenty-two,
but the school where he had learned of life had held open and strenuous
session every day since he could remember.
"Glad to meet y'u, ma'am," he assured her, in the current phrase of the
"I'm sure I am glad to meet YOU," she answered, heartily. "Can you tell
me where is the foreman of the Lazy D?"
He introduced with a smile the swarthy man in the doorway. "This is him
ma'am--Mr. Judd Morgan."
Now it happened that Mr. Judd Morgan was simmering with suppressed
"All I've got to say is that you had no business mixing up in that
shootin' affair back there. Perhaps you don't know that the man you
saved is Ned Bannister, the outlaw," was his surly greeting.
"Oh, yes, I know that."
"Then what d'ye mean--Who are you, anyway?" His insolent eyes coasted
malevolently over her.
"Helen Messiter is my name."
It was ludicrous to see the change that came over the man. He had been
prepared to bully her; and with a word she had pricked the bubble of his
arrogance. He swallowed his anger and got a mechanical smile in working
"Glad to see you here, Miss Messiter," he said, his sinister gaze
attempting to meet hers frankly "I been looking for you every day."
"But y'u managed to surprise him, after all ma'am," chuckled Mac.
"Where's yo' hawss, Reddy?" inquired a tall young man, who had appeared
silently in the doorway of the bunkhouse.
Reddy pinked violently. "I had an accident, Denver," he explained. "This
lady yere she--"
"Scooped y'u right off yore hawss. Y'u don't say," sympathized Mac so
breathlessly that even Reddy joined in the chorus of laughter that went
up at his expense.
The young woman thought to make it easy for him, and suggested an
"His horse isn't used to automobiles, and so when it met this one--"
"I got off," interposed Reddy hastily, displaying a complexion like a
"He got off," Mac explained gravely to the increasing audience.
Denver nodded with an imperturbable face. "He got off."
Mac introduced Miss Messiter to such of her employees as were on hand.
"Shake hands with Miss Messiter, Missou," was the formula, the name
alone varying to suit the embarrassed gentlemen in leathers. Each of
them in turn presented a huge hand, in which her little one disappeared
for the time, and was sawed up and down in the air like a pump-handle.
Yet if she was amused she did not show it; and her pleasure at meeting
the simple, elemental products of the plains outweighed a great deal her
sense of the ludicrous.
"How are your patients getting along?" she presently asked of her
"I reckon all right. I sent Reddy for a doc, but--"
"He got off," murmured Mac pensively.
"I'll go rope another hawss," put in the man who had got off.
"Get a jump on you, then. Miss Messiter, would you like to look over the
"Not now. I want to see the men that were hurt. Perhaps I can help them.
Once I took a few weeks in nursing."
"Bully for you, ma'am," whooped Mac. "I've a notion those boys are
sufferin' for a woman to put the diamond-hitch on them bandages."
"Bring that suit-case in," she commanded Denver, in the gentlest voice
he had ever heard, after she had made a hasty inspection of the first
From the suit-case she took a little leather medicine-case, the kind
that can be bought already prepared for use. It held among other things
a roll of medicated cotton, some antiseptic tablets, and a little steel
instrument for probing.
"Some warm water, please; and have some boiling on the range," were her
Mac flew to execute them.
It was a pleasure to see her work, so deftly the skillful hands
accomplished what her brain told them. In admiring awe the punchers
stood awkwardly around while she washed and dressed the hurts. Two of
the bullets had gone through the fleshy part of the arm and left clean
wounds. In the case of the third man she had to probe for the lead, but
fortunately found it with little difficulty. Meanwhile she soothed the
victim with gentle womanly sympathy.
"I know it hurts a good deal. Just a minute and I'll be through."
His hands clutched tightly the edges of his bunk. "That's all right,
doc. You attend to roping that pill and I'll endure the grief."
A long sigh of relief went up from the assembled cowboys when she drew
the bullet out.
The sinewy hands fastened on the wooden bunk relaxed suddenly.
"'Frisco's daid," gasped the cook, who bore the title of Wun Hop for
no reason except that he was an Irishman in a place formerly held by a
"He has only fainted," she said quietly, and continued with the
When it was all over, the big, tanned men gathered at the entrance to
the calf corral and expanded in admiration of their new boss.
"She's a pure for fair. She grades up any old way yuh take her to
the best corn-fed article on the market," pronounced Denver, with
"I got to ride the boundary," sighed Missou. "I kinder hate to go right
"Here, too," acquiesced another. "I got a round-up on Wind Creek to cut
out them two-year-olds. If 'twas my say-so, I'd order Mac on that job."
"Right kind of y'u. Seems to me"--Mac's sarcastic eye trailed around to
include all those who had been singing her praises--"the new queen of
this hacienda won't have no trouble at all picking a prince consort when
she gets round to it. Here's Wun Hop, not what y'u might call anxious,
but ce'tainly willing. Then Denver's some in the turtle-dove business,
according to that hash-slinger in Cheyenne. Missou might be induced to
accept if it was offered him proper; and I allow Jim ain't turned the
color of Redtop's hair jest for instance. I don't want to leave out
'Frisco and the other boys carrying Bannister's pills--"
"Nor McWilliams. I'd admire to include him," murmured Denver.
That sunburned, nonchalant youth laughed musically. "Sure thing. I'd
hate to be left out. The only difference is--"
His roving eye circled blandly round. "I stand about one show in a
million. Y'u roughnecks are dead ones already."
With which cold comfort he sauntered away to join Miss Messiter and
the foreman, who now appeared together at the door of the ranchhouse,
prepared to make a tour of the buildings and the immediate corrals.
"Isn't there a woman on the place?" she was asking Morgan.
"No'm, there ain't. Henderson's daughter would come and stay with y'u a
while I reckon."
"Please send for her at once, then, and ask her to come to-day."
"All right. I'll send one of the boys right away."
"How did y'u leave 'Frisco, ma'am?" asked Mac, by way of including
"He's resting quietly. Unless blood-poisoning sets in they ought all to
"It's right lucky for them y'u happened along. This is the hawss corral,
ma'am," explained the young man just as Morgan opened his thin lips to
Judd contrived to get rid of him promptly. "Slap on a saddle, Mac, and
run up the remuda so Miss Messiter can see the hawsses for herself," he
"Mebbe she'd rather ride down and look at the bunch," suggested the
As it chanced, she did prefer to ride down the pasture and look over
the place from on horseback. She was in love with her ranch already.
Its spacious distances, the thousands of cattle and the horses, these
picturesque retainers who served her even to the shedding of an enemy's
blood; they all struck an answering echo in her gallant young heart
that nothing in Kalamazoo had been able to stir. She bubbled over with
enthusiasm, the while Morgan covertly sneered and McWilliams warmed to
the untamed youth in her.
"What about this man Bannister?" she flung out suddenly, after they had
cantered back to the house when the remuda had been inspected.
Her abrupt question brought again the short, tense silence she had
become used to expect.
"He runs sheep about twenty or thirty miles southwest of here,"
explained McWilliams, in a carefully casual tone.
"So everybody tells me, but it seems to me he spills a good deal of lead
on my men," she answered impatiently. "What's the trouble?"
"Last week he crossed the dead-line with a bunch of five thousand
"Who draws this dead-line?"
"The cattlemen got together and drew it. Your uncle was one of those
that marked it off, ma'am."
"And Bannister crossed it?"
"Yes, ma'am. Yesterday 'Frisco come on him and one of his herders with
a big bunch of them less than fifteen miles from here. He didn't know it
was Bannister, and took a pot-shot at him. 'Course Bannister came back
at him, and he got Frisco in the laig."
"Didn't know it was Bannister? What difference WOULD that make?" she
Mac laughed. "What difference would it make, Judd?"
Morgan scowled, and the young man answered his own question. "We don't
any of us go out of our way more'n a mile to cross Bannister's trail,"
"Do you wear this for an ornament? Are you upholstered with hardware to
catch the eyes of some girl?" she asked, touching with the end of her
whip the revolver in the holster strapped to his chaps.
His serene, gay smile flashed at her. "Are y'u ordering me to go out and
get Ned Bannister's scalp?"
"No, I am not," she explained promptly. "What I am trying to discover is
why you all seem to be afraid of one man. He is only a man, isn't he?"
A veil of ice seemed to fall over the boyish face and leave it chiseled
marble. His unspeaking eyes rested on the swarthy foreman as he
"I don't know what he is, ma'am. He may be one man, or he may be a
hundred. What's more, I ain't particularly suffering to find out. Fact
is, I haven't lost any Bannisters."
The girl became aware that her foreman was looking at her with a wary
silent vigilance sinister in its intensity.
"In short, you're like the rest of the people in this section. You're
"Now y'u're shoutin', Miss Messiter. I sure am when it comes to shootin'
off my mouth about Bannister."
"And you, Mr. Morgan?"
It struck her that the young puncher waited with a curious interest for
the answer of the foreman.
"Did it look like I was afraid this mawnin', ma'am?" he asked, with
"No, you all seemed brave enough then, when you had him eight to one."
"I wasn't there," hastily put in McWilliams. "I don't go gunning for my
man without giving him a show."
"I do," retorted Morgan cruelly. "I'd go if we was fifty to one. We'd
'a' got him, too, if it hadn't been for Miss Messiter. 'Twas a chance we
ain't likely to get again for a year."
"It wasn't your fault you didn't kill him, Mr. Morgan," she said,
looking hard at him. "You may be interested to know that your last shot
missed him only about six inches, and me about four."
"I didn't know who you were," he sullenly defended.
"I see. You only shoot at women when you don't know who they are." She
turned her back on him pointedly and addressed herself to McWilliams.
"You can tell the men working on this ranch that I won't have any more
such attacks on this man Bannister. I don't care what or who he is. I
don't propose to have him murdered by my employees. Let the law take him
and hang him. Do you hear?"
"I ce'tainly do, and the boys will get the word straight," he replied.
"I take it since yuh are giving your orders through Mac, yuh don't need
me any longer for your foreman," bullied Morgan.
"You take it right, sir," came her crisp reply. "McWilliams will be my
foreman from to-day."
The man's face, malignant and wolfish, suddenly lost its mask. That she
would so promptly call his bluff was the last thing he had expected.
"That's all right. I reckon yuh think yuh know your own business, but
I'll put it to yuh straight. Long as yuh live you'll be sorry for this."
And with that he wheeled away.
She turned to her new foreman and found him less radiant than she could
have desired. "I'm right sorry y'u did that. I'm afraid y'u'll make
trouble for yourself," he said quietly.
"I don't know myself just why." He hesitated before adding: "They say
him and Bannister is thicker than they'd ought to be. It's a cinch that
he's in cahoots somehow with that Shoshone bunch of bad men."
"But--why, that's ridiculous. Only this morning he was trying to kill
"That's what I don't just savvy. There's a whole lot about that business
I don't get next to. I guess Bannister is at the head of them.
Everybody seems agreed about that. But the whole thing is a tangle of
contradiction to me. I've milled it over a heap in my mind, too."
"What are some of the contradictions?"
"Well, here's one right off the bat, as we used to say back in the
States. Bannister is a great musician, they claim; fine singer, and
all that. Now I happen to know he can't sing any more than a bellowing
"How do you know?" she asked, her eyes shining with interest.
"Because I heard him try it. 'Twas one day last summer when I was out
cutting trail of a bunch of strays down by Dead Cow Creek. The day was
hot, and I lay down behind a cottonwood and dropped off to sleep. When
I awakened it didn't take me longer'n an hour to discover what had woke
me. Somebody on the other side of the creek was trying to sing. It was
ce'tainly the limit. Pretty soon he come out of the brush and I seen it
"You're sure it was Bannister?"
"If seeing is believing, I'm sure."
"And was his singing really so bad?"
"I'd hate ever to hear worse."
"Was he singing when you saw him?"
"No, he'd just quit. He caught sight of my pony grazing, and hunted
cover real prompt."
"Then it might have been another man singing in the thicket."
"It might, but it wasn't. Y'u see, I'd followed him through the bush by
his song, and he showed up the moment I expected him."
"Still there might have been another man there singing."
"One chance in a million," he conceded.
A sudden hope flamed up like tow in her heart. Perhaps, after all, Ned
Bannister was not the leader of the outlaws. Perhaps somebody else was
masquerading in his name, using Bannister's unpopularity as a shield to
cover his iniquities. Still, this was an unlikely hypothesis, she had to
admit. For why should he allow his good name to be dragged in the dust
without any effort to save it? On a sudden impulse the girl confided her
doubt to McWilliams.
"You don't suppose there can be any mistake, do you? Somehow I can't
think him as bad as they say. He looks awfully reckless, but one feels
one could trust his face."
"Same here," agreed the new foreman. "First off when I saw him my think
was, 'I'd like to have that man backing my play when I'm sitting in the
game with Old Man Hard Luck reaching out for my blue chips.'"
"You don't think faces lie, do you?"
"I've seen them that did, but, gen'rally speaking, tongues are a heap
likelier to get tangled with the truth. But I reckon there ain't any
doubt about Bannister. He's known over all this Western country."
The young woman sighed. "I'm afraid you're right."

Quel ficcanaso dell'Ispettore Lawrence (The Killer with a Thousand Eyes)
As you can probably tell from the poster art, Juan Bosch's Quel ficcanaso dell'Ispettore Lawrence is a poliziesco/giallo hybrid. Unfortunately it's not a particularly successful one. Anthony Steffen (who also co-wrote the script) stars as a special agent sent to Lisabon to solve the murder of one of his collegues. There are a handful of murder scenes that could appeal the giallo fans, but overall the film focuses far more on police procedure and the poorly staged fight scenes. Like the poster art though, but unfortunately I've got no info on the artist.

J.R.R. Tolkein cautioned in The Hobbit that, “It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations if you happen to live near one.” For those who value private property, free speech, unfettered competition, limited government and the principle of taxation with representation, Election Day 2008 was not only an historic event from the perspective of race relations in America, but also a shocking affirmation that a new generation of power-hungry socialists have surfaced from within that Trojan Horse called the The Democratic Party. These neo-socialists have already begun the process of turning this country into a nation of hand-out seekers, Wall Street whiners and corporate derrière smoochers seeking bail from the very people who contributed to their economic imprisonment.
In the coming months, I am certain the NeoSocs will be joined by others from both sides of the aisle who, for the sake of political expediency, will turn their backs on the principles of free-market capitalism. These sell-outs will help enact legislation that may cause Karl Marx to do an end-zone victory jig in his grave. It will not do to leave this live dragon out of our calculations.
When the media hype and spin are unraveled, three key factors emerge that explain America’s current political and economic debacle:
First, starting with Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society program, the U.S. Congress created numerous market disruptions in the form of social justice, pro-union and environmental laws. Ask anyone who has observed the downfall of the American auto industry about the impact of punitive environmental regulations and pro-union policies on the competitiveness of Ford, Chrysler and General Motors. Take a good hard look at the long-term effects of Jimmy Carter’s 1977 Community Reinvestment Act and the Clinton Administration’s influence at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to find the root cause of the sub-prime mortgage disaster.
Second, when the Republicans took the reigns of power in both houses of Congress, they quickly abandoned their conservative fiscal values, increased the size of government and spent taxpayer cash like it was growing on those Japanese cherry trees that surround various monuments to our nation’s founders. Talk about rolling over in their graves!


This is a reposting of my Armada article from last week. At that time I was unable to get the font to display correctly. Thanks to all who have read it despite my shortcomings as a blogger.
Crosman Sets Sail into the Black Rifle Country with the Benjamin Armada.
The Armada is based on the Benjamin Marauder. It is a Marauder rifle without the traditionally shaped wood or synthetic stock. The new stock starts with a polymer center section that extends from just behind the back end of the air tube to just ahead of the manometer. Attached to this center section is a perforated metal tube called a “hand rail” that extends to the front end of the air tube. The handrail is slid over an extension of the central stock and held on with four screws. The black, handrail sports a full length picatinny rail on the top and bottom as well as perforations on the side that accept all kinds of tactical accessories. Behind the trigger guard is an attachment point for hand grips that fit the AR-15/M16 family of rifles. Also from the black rifle tribe is a stock fitting. I am not sure if socks distended for paintball markers will fit, but as Crosman says the Armada is “Backwards compatible with AR15 mil spec grips and stocks”. Compared to my 1050s era 140 all I can say is, “Is this thing tricked out or what”.
Other non-Marauder parts are a breach with an integral picatinny rail. This extends the top rail length to about 20 inches, and a front shroud support that replaces the barrel band.
On board the Benjamin Armada Crosman sets sail bound for the world AR15 tactical accessories. For many airgunners this might seem a non starter, but consider this, my local Walmart sells these accessories. The Crosman guys talked a lot about the rifles compatibility with AR15 accessories and about the quality of the Magpul stock and grip.
The basic Armada is in .22 and sales for about $800. For $200 more there is the Magpul edition. The differences is that the more expensive gun sports MagPul butt stock and grips. The butt stock is extendable, similar to the M4 carbine, with provisions for intermediate lengths between fully extended and fully collapsed.
The Armada comes with a bipod and a scope bundling it with the two most likely accessories a new owner would have to buy. Scope mounts are 37mm tall which is commonly used with flat top AR15s The scope mounted on the display rifles at the Shot Show was a Centerpoint 4-16X side focus with a 56mm objective.
$800 puts this rifle out of the $500 price point of the Marauder. For that extra money it offers step up in the cool factor, but in realistic terms it accepts all kinds of tactical accessories common to the M16/M4 lookalike world, The bundled scope and bipod makes the price point more attractive.
Among the accessories that can be attached are iron sights the full length rail makes iron sights a realistic option for the Armada. Walmart in Pocatello has polymer front and rear sights for $50 each. That’s something you can't do on a stock Marauder.
Crosman folks at the Shot Show said that there were plans to add .177 and .25 to the Armada. My own experience with the .25 Marauder would make me want to wait until the .25 is on the market.
How does it shoot? That remains to be seen. Like a .22 Marauder I suppose, and the .22 Marauder is the best selling PPC air rifle in the United States. The .22 has come under some criticism for accuracy, but many of these critics really ought to be shooting more expensive air rifles.
Magpul edition and the stock Armada are the Crosman web site and several internet retailers. Things change so if you go any of these sites look for things like “Not in Stock or “preorder. now” Make sure they have guns to ship before you put down your credit card number.
OK traditional air gunners, is this rifle meant for you?
Remember the phrase “Backward compatible”? I think it fits some shooters too. This rifle is attractive to folks with their favorite tactical accessories already mounted on the black rifle of their choice, and who might be tempted into the PPC world.
The Armada is a smart and, I think, a well studied move on Crosman’s part.

NFL Trade Rumors: Jaguars Receiving Calls for Safety Tashaun GipsonMarch 6, 2019
Teams have reportedly called the Jacksonville Jaguars to inquire about the availability of safety Tashaun Gipson.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it is believed that the Jags are open to trading him. Gipson has two years remaining on his contract, and he is set to make $9.1 million in 2019 and $9.3 million in 2020.
Per Spotrac, the Jaguars have the least amount of salary-cap space in the NFL at $263,136, which may contribute to their reported willingness to part with Gipson.
Last week, Daniel Popper of The Athletic listed Gipson as a potential cap casualty as the Jaguars look to position themselves to make moves in free agency and sign their draft picks:
Daniel Popper @danielrpopper
By my count, based on this official number, the #Jaguars are $2,634,572 under the cap, factoring in Marcell Dareus' restructured contract. If they cut Blake Bortles, Malik Jackson, Tashaun Gipson, Carlos Hyde and Jeremy Parnell, they'll get to $36,284,572 in cap space. https://t.co/omo0QfS0Bn
ESPN.com's Dan Graziano reported last week that the Jags are expected to sign quarterback Nick Foles in free agency, which would require Jacksonville to make some room financially.
The 28-year-old Gipson spent the past three seasons with the Jaguars after opening his career as a member of the Cleveland Browns for four years. He is a one-time Pro Bowler stemming from his six-interception performance with the Browns in 2014.
During his three-year stint in Jacksonville, Gipson has appeared in and started all 48 of the Jaguars' regular-season games. After enjoying one of the best seasons of his career in 2017 with 64 tackles, seven passes defended and four interceptions, Gipson dropped off a bit.
The former University of Wyoming standout finished with just 54 tackles, seven passes defended and one interception for a Jaguars team that finished a disappointing 5-11 after reaching the AFC Championship Game the previous season.
If Jacksonville does trade Gipson, it will leave a significant hole at safety alongside 2018 third-round pick Ronnie Harrison. In-house options to replace Gipson include Jarrod Wilson, C.J. Reavis and Cody Davis.
Most likely, the Jaguars will be tasked with finding a cheaper alternative in free agency or through the draft. It isn't an ideal scenario, but given how much talent Jacksonville has elsewhere on defense, it may be able to get by with a weaker player at safety if it means improving elsewhere.

It’s no surprise that Caitriona Balfe looks flawless in every scene, whether it’s in 1945 or 1771. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Irish beauty was discovered by Ford Models when she was a teenager, and spent the next two decades modeling. Despite the fact that someone like Balfe looks gorgeous with very little makeup, “Outlander” viewers want to see her beauty routine in the 1700s. According to a Reddit thread created by u/Miserable-Report6467 that has gotten over 200 upvotes, many viewers are dying to see more of the humdrum daily routines of the 18th century.

Show creators and producers often like to skip the mundane to focus on the main story, but with this period romance, the history is practically its own character. Hopefully, the showrunners will decide to give fans a glimpse of Claire’s daily routines in future seasons, finally satisfying all the “Outlander” history buffs watching.

Nessa Childers, MEP for Dublin, welcomed the vote in the European Parliament in Strasbourg today to reject a proposal from the EU Commission which would allow the labels of energy drinks to feature health claims.
Speaking from Strasbourg, Ms. Childers, a member of the EU Parliament’s committee in charge of public health and food safety where the vote was held , said:
“By allowing products to state benefits to health owing to their caffeine contents, we would be enabling energy drinks to claim alertness and concentration boosting effects.
“It is simply not appropriate for us to be endorsing this kind of policy when we know how popular these drinks are with teenagers and even some children, who are particularly vulnerable to some marketing strategies.
“These products also tend to have very high sugar levels, where a single unit often reaches the maximum recommended daily intake levels.
“High sugar consumption habits tend to endure and contribute to serious, chronic health problems later in life.
“This is not about any sort of nanny-state prohibition. Energy drinks are, and will remain, fully available on the market but I see no reason why we should let them tout their stimulant properties on the label.”

10 Best FWB Internet Web Sites | Friends with Benefits Online Dating Sites The FWB internet web internet sites could be the buzz that is new.
Have you spent time online dating or IRL dating recently? I get a migraine just from trying to parse this weaselly phrasing. I am not against hookups, one-night or one-week stands, or a part-time lover whom you bang twice a month when they are in town for work. I want you, me, all of us to have fulfilling and fun sex whenever we are able.
You can have sex with no or very few attachments as long as both or however many partners are consenting, self-actualized adults who are going into the bone zone with their eyes, hearts and minds wide open. Is the bond you make with your sex friend while lying under the duvet or smooshed in the back seat of your Hyundai any less meaningful a bond than the one you have with that one receptionist at the gym who always remembers your love of the Phillies?
They are signifying that they want to make all the rules, all the time, including when, where and how often sex is had and, most insidiously, how their sex friend should feel about that. And for super sure the other person cannot impose any of their own desires on them, or make emotional overtures. Let me give you two recent FWB examples from my dating life.
Neither of these gentlemen callers were American and neither of them lived full-time in my city. Pretty quickly in the first relationship, the dude The Euro let me know all he wanted was an FWB-type scenario. He also let me know I was not a priority to him.

10 Best FWB Internet Web Sites | Friends with Benefits Online Dating Sites
Are we dating or are we friends with benefits? Additionally, can we start saying “halfsie”? An “ex” of mine because can you even call someone you casually dated, but for a year, an ex without air quotes? Can I get an eye roll?
One of the most frequently asked questions in the world of dating has FWB (Friends With Benefits) The most infamous of all PXRs, the FWB.
What does friends with benefits mean? Maybe someone asked you if you wanted to be FWBs, or perhaps you saw a show that referred to this odd term. Friends with benefits or, FWB refers to an agreement between two people who are both friends and physically attracted to one another to share a sexual relationship. A friends with benefits arrangement is not considered dating, a relationship or even casual dating by most people who use the term.
Friends with benefits differs from a one night stand in that one night stands provide only an evening of sexual interaction, although they may occur between two friends. It might seem like casual dating and friends with benefits offer the same basic principle, but casual dating usually refers to two people getting to know each other before monogamy or a commitment, whereas friends with benefits rarely move into actual romantic relationship territory.
You care for each other, you spend time together usually one-on-one, and just for sex , and enjoy the interaction. No analyzing needed. No one to ask. Especially if you agree to FWB. Please feel free to share your own definition or experiences with the term in the comments.
Friends with benefits online dating
Having a male friend is just like having a boyfriend minus the stress. Honestly, women only hire me to solve their personal problems, whereas men hire me to solve their personal problems AND their professional problems. Because I am a digital marketer, many men have hired me to work for their internet businesses.
More than friends with benefits but not a relationship. Here are some signs accumulated that may help you out in deciphering your love life!
Whilst you both still trust and care for each other, there is no particular emotional attachment involved and tends to be considered as a sort of open relationship where both parties might see other people simultaneously. This glamourized hook-up has become more and more popularized in general pop culture, whether it is on TV or in movies, but it might be harder to grasp how this actually occurs in real life, and whether it is the right thing for you.
Choose someone who is available and ready to start an FWB relationship. Choosing someone single is the most obvious choice, but it should also be someone who you could expect to live up to all the fun and spontaneity an FWB relationship promises. Most FWB relationships spawn out of a hook-up, it is, therefore, safe to assume that having had sex with the person at least once before even bringing up the interest might be best.
This will also allow you, as much as them, to determine whether you would be even interested to carry on with such casual sex. Having said that, not all hook-ups end in an FWB relationship, so there does need to be a shared sexual interest for it to succeed. This is potentially one of the most important points since not all FWB relationships were created equal.
FWB dating app: Why Friends with Benefits (FWB) is the best relationship
You watch countless hours of Netflix, cuddle…and more. Why is it that you only spend time together at night, secluded from the outside world? In the age of millennial dating, dating is becoming extremely confusing.
How to Initiate a Friends with Benefits Situation. There’s nothing wrong with admitting that you’d be even a little hurt to lose a good sex partner. You see a whole.
One of the most frequently asked questions in the world of dating has got to be “If they’re not your significant other, then what the hell are they? Here’s a handy guide to the nine most common types of PXRs, all converted into abbreviations for easy texting. Sex and sex only. Whenever you’re both down. For as long as you can remain essentially strangers. You’ve probably never seen your OGBC before midnight. The promise of a “no-strings-attached” deal with a person who you actually enjoy hanging out with is just too sweet, though.
So, we keep acting like we’re emotionally invincible until we ruin a perfectly good friendship. We’re just talking. Having hooked up once or twice doesn’t necessarily count as “acting on it. But there’s no other word that quite captures this particular relationship. LVRS are not committed to each other, but they have deep feelings for each other. For whatever reason, however, it can never be.
