There are two opportunities to attend on Dec. 14 – a family-friendly 3 p.m. matinee and reception, and a 7 p.m. concert featuring an elegant champagne and dessert reception. Both concerts and receptions will be held in Goodwood’s Carriage House, located at 1600 Miccosukee Rd, Tallahassee, FL 32308.

Michigan State's Tom Izzo just won his 600th game. Here's how he got here
The Spartans beat Ohio State on Friday in the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals, putting Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo in a rare club: He’s one of just 38 men’s basketball coaches with 600 wins at the Division I level. Even more impressive, all 600 of Izzo’s wins have come with the Spartans. Here’s a look back at Izzo’s milestone victories at MSU:
1: MSU 69, Chaminade 66
Nov. 20, 1995: Izzo, who had spent the five years as the right-hand man to longtime MSU coach Jud Heathcote, started his time in the top job off right, with a win over the Silverswords to open the Maui Invitational in in Hawaii. It didn’t come easy, though; MSU needed 19 second-half points from forward Quinton Brooks and a missed 3-pointer at the end by Chaminade to get the victory.
In Izzo’s words: "Jud lied to me. He told me that being a head coach was going to be easy. But I can't think of a tougher way to open my career."
100: MSU 77, Indiana 71, OT
Jan. 11, 2000: The Spartans dominated the Big Ten en route to winning the NCAA title, but you wouldn’t know it from this game; Morris Peterson hit a 3-pointer with just over 11 seconds left in regulation to force overtime against Bobby Knight’s Hoosiers. Also, Izzo wasn’t the only one with a milestone: Point guard Mateen Cleaves picked up his 653rd career assist, passing Scott Skiles as MSU’s all-time leader.
In Izzo’s words: "It's special when you beat a program that in my estimation is one of the best in the country with the way they've won and the class way in which they've won. I consider myself very lucky."
200: MSU 89, Iowa 72
Feb. 4, 2004: A 17-point victory at home over a conference rival in which the Spartans shot 51.7 percent from the field — even Izzo couldn’t complain too much about win No. 200, right? Not so much: "If we don't start checking better, we're not going to get anywhere," the coach grumbled after his Spartans allowed the Hawkeyes, with just seven scholarship players, to shoot 41.1 percent from the field.
In Izzo’s words: “I sat there and watched John Chaney get his 700th win, and I wrote him a little note. I said I couldn't stay alive that long if I was on a resuscitator.”

300: MSU 66, Iowa 52
Feb. 24, 2008: This time, they got a smile — and some tears — out of Izzo. The game was nice — MSU never trailed and held the Hawkeyes without a field goal for the first 10:22 of the game — but the real treat for Izzo was a visit from dozens of his former players, in attendance for a post-game ceremony and video honoring the milestone. “I was tickled to death that all those guys came back,” Izzo said.
In Izzo’s words: “It wasn't a special day when it started, but I've got to admit, being out there and having all those players back and fans hanging around … that hit a little nerve for me for a while.”
341: MSU 106, UMass 68
Nov. 28, 2009: It wasn’t the setting Izzo would have liked — in the third-place game of the Legends Classic in Atlantic City, N.J., rather than the title game — but the moment was still meaningful as he became the winningest coach in MSU history. After the game, his players doused Izzo with water and gave him a plaque emblazoned with a footprint and the words: “You've left your footprint. 341 wins.”
In Izzo’s words: "The players gave me a little plaque that I think signifies what we want to do each year. It said that 341 leaves a footprint in the sand, and that's what we try to do with each class … leave something that somebody will remember."
400: MSU 68, Minnesota 52
Jan. 21, 2012: It was a vintage Izzo performance on the sideline, with the coach stamping his feet, throwing up his hands and burying his face behind his arms. And the Spartans still led by 19 points in the final minute of the game. It’s wasn’t pretty, but Izzo would have to take it at the Breslin Center; "Any milestone you can share in front of your fans....” he said.
In Izzo’s words: “The truth of it is, is it doesn't mean nothing to me. … (Bob) Huggins has got 6 or 700 (wins), and (Jim) Boeheim has got almost 900, and (Mike) Krzyzewski's got almost 2 million. It just seems like in the big picture of things, 400 wins is 400 wins."
500: MSU 99, Boston College 68
Nov. 26, 2015: Senior guard Denzel Valentine stole a bit of the hoopla surrounding Izzo’s milestone win in the Wooden Classic in Fullerton, California, by putting up the second triple-double of his career. Valentine scored 29 points and added 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Even so, Izzo played a role; Valentine’s game went into a funk until Izzo yelled at him from the sideline and urged him to engage in the offense.
In Izzo’s words: " ‘Yay, Izzo got 500 — he's only 600 behind (Mike) Krzyzewski!’ I'm still more worried about banners than about wins.”

Nostril piercings, located on the outside area of the nose between the cheeks and nose tip, generally heal completely in two to four months. Septum piercings pierce through cartilage and take longer to heal but generally close in six to eight months.
To minimize the risk of infection and irritation, the individual should not remove nose jewelry during the healing process. Some bleeding and tenderness with slight itching are normal after a nose piercing. Swelling usually disappears in 10 to 15 days. As healing progresses, the piercing may turn pink and have a slight whitish-yellow discharge. The piercing heals on the outside first; healing on the interior of the nose takes longer.

Ben Overton In Memoriam
UF Law adjunct and former Florida Supreme Court Justice Ben Overton remembered
Former Florida Supreme Court Justice, UF Law alum and Adjunct Professor Ben F. Overton died Saturday, Dec. 29, in Gainesville, Fla., of complications from heart surgery. He was 86 and was Florida’s 62nd justice since statehood.
“Justice Overton was one of the most influential members of the court after the sweeping reforms of the 1970s,” said Chief Justice Ricky Polston. “He will be remembered not only for his far-seeing opinions, but also for his efforts in the 1970s to make the state courts more accessible by allowing cameras into our courtrooms.”
In the mid-1970s, Overton was one of several newly appointed justices who elevated the reputation of the court after it earlier had become involved in scandal. He was the first justice chosen through a merit selection process created by Gov. Reubin Askew that soon was added to the Florida Constitution by vote of the people.
From his appointment on March 27, 1974, until his retirement on Jan. 4, 1999, Overton authored more than 1400 decisions and was a central figure in a vast series of reforms that made his court one of the most respected and accessible in the nation. He served as chief justice from 1976-1978 and chaired the Article V Review Commission in 1984. Following his retirement, Overton was an active adjunct professor of law at the University of Florida’s Levin College of Law.
“He is the profile of what you would expect a judge to be,” UF Law Dean Emeritus and Director of UF Law’s Center for Governmental Responsibility Jon Mills told The Gainesville Sun.
“He was smart, fair. He wrote some terrifically important opinions in education, privacy and a broad number of constitutional areas,” Mills said. “He was an independent thinker. When he was on the bench, he could look pretty fearful.”
A native of Green Bay, Wis., Overton became a double Gator, earning both his bachelor’s and law degrees from the University of Florida. He also earned an LL.M in jurisprudence from the University of Virginia in 1984. He was honored as a Distinguished Alumnus of the University of Florida in 2008.
Overton not only helped make Florida one of the first states to allow television coverage of court cases, but also was instrumental in making the state Supreme Court one of the first in the world to have a website. Overton later played a pivotal role in seeing that every Florida Supreme Court case was televised, webcast, and stored in an on-line archive.
Overton served nearly ten years on the Pinellas County circuit court and, for several years, as its chief judge. He was well known for his work in legal education and dispute resolution and was chairman of the Dispute Resolution Section of the American Bar Association.
“In addition to Justice Overton’s leadership in the judiciary, he was a tremendous supporter of the law school and its students,” said UF Law Dean Robert Jerry. “Beginning in 2001, he taught Florida constitutional law and a Florida Supreme Court seminar as an adjunct faculty member, and his interest in helping prepare our students for the legal profession had no limits. He also served as a member of the Law Center Association Board of Trustees and was a charter member of the Association’s Heritage of Leadership Committee, which selects distinguished alumni for posthumous recognition by the Levin College of Law.”
Predeceased by his wife Marilyn, Overton is survived by his children, Judge William H. Overton and wife, Dolores; Robert M. Overton; and Catherine L. Overton; two grandchildren, William E. and wife Alison; Brian H. and wife Jackie; and one great grandchild, Adelynn.

An ordinary life--its sharp pains and unexpected joys, its bursts of clarity and moments of confusion--lived by an ordinary woman: this is the subject of "Someone," Alice McDermott's extraordinary return, seven years after the publication of "After This." Scattered recollections--of childhood, adolescence, motherhood, old age--come together in this transformative narrative, stitched into a vibrant whole by McDermott's deft, lyrical voice.
Our first glimpse of Marie is as a child: a girl in glasses waiting on a Brooklyn stoop for her beloved father to come home from work. A seemingly innocuous encounter with a young woman named Pegeen sets the bittersweet tone of this remarkable novel. Pegeen describes herself as an "amadan," a fool; indeed, soon after her chat with Marie, Pegeen tumbles down her own basement stairs. The magic of McDermott's novel lies in how it reveals us all as fools for this or that, in one way or another.
Marie's first heartbreak and her eventual marriage; her brother's brief stint as a Catholic priest, subsequent loss of faith, and eventual breakdown; the Second World War; her parents' deaths; the births and lives of Marie's children; the changing world of her Irish-American enclave in Brooklyn--McDermott sketches all of it with sympathy and insight. This is a novel that speaks of life as it is daily lived; a crowning achievement by one of the finest American writers at work today. A "Publishers Weekly" Best Fiction Book of the Year

In this deceptively simple tour de force, McDermott (Charming Billy, winner of the National Book Award) lays bare the keenly observed life of Marie Commeford, an ordinary woman whose compromised eyesight makes her both figuratively and literally unable to see the world for what it is. When we meet her on the steps of her Brooklyn townhouse, she’s a bespectacled seven-year-old waiting for her father; McDermott then leaps ahead, when Marie, pregnant with her first child, recalls collapsing at a deli counter and the narrative plunges us into a world where death is literally just around the corner, upending the safety and comfort of her neighborhood; “In a few months’ time, I would be at death’s door, last rites and all,” she relates. We follow Marie through the milestones of her life, shadowed by her elder brother, Gabe, who mysteriously leaves the priesthood for which everyone thought he was destined. The story of Marie’s life unfolds in a nonlinear fashion: McDermott describes the loss of Marie’s father, her first experience with intimacy, her first job (in a funeral parlor of all places), her marriage, the birth of a child. We come to feel for this unremarkable woman, whose vulnerability makes her all the more winning—and makes her worthy of our attention. And that’s why McDermott, a three-time Pulitzer nominee, is such an exceptional writer: in her hands, an uncomplicated life becomes singularly fascinating, revealing the heart of a woman whose defeats make us ache and whose triumphs we cheer. Marie’s vision (and ours) eventually clears, and she comes to understand that what she so often failed to see lay right in front of her eyes. Agent: Sarah Burnes, Gernert Company. (Sept.)
A life revealed piece by piece
“Who’s going to love me?” Marie asks her brother Gabe in the hours after her first heartbreak. The girl has seen sad times already in her 1930s Brooklyn neighborhood: a girl who tumbles down a set of stairs to her death, a blind man left to umpire ball games for the neighborhood boys. But as her first love leaves her behind, Marie is confronted for the first time with the sorrow of an anonymous, unspectacular existence.
As Alice McDermott’s Someone skips across Marie’s life, the reader peers into such intimate moments as her first kiss, her first boyfriend, her first day working at a funeral home, the first time she meets her husband in the bedroom—moments that shape Marie into the woman she will become. The nonlinear story unfolds much like life itself: rambling in different directions, not always making it clear where you’re headed or why you’re along for the ride.
The Brooklyn neighborhood is nearly as much a character in Marie’s life as are its inhabitants. As a young woman, she refuses to even seek work outside of its boundaries. But as the neighborhood falls into disrepair, Gabe proves to be the child who is reluctant to leave.
McDermott is a three-time Pulitzer finalist and winner of a National Book Award. This, her first novel in seven years, is sure to be a welcome escape for those who have missed her lyrical voice and fine attention to detail. Marie and Gabe’s relationship echoes the closeness, contentiousness and theological discussions of the namesake siblings in J.D. Salinger’s Franny and Zooey. Much like those in that beloved novel, McDermott’s characters are more concerned with the daily, ordinary act of living. The result is a thoughtful, heartfelt tale that prompts the reader to take a closer look at his or her own days.

Argusto Joseph will turn 16 on March 13th. He is what I like to call "steady", not upset easily, genial and good-natured, steadfastly loyal to everyone who befriends him, and very logical in a grounded sort of way. He does well in school, although he does like to pretend that he doesn't know as much English vocabulary as he actually does. Basketball is his favorite pasttime and he is one of the few boys who has defined musculature in his arms. This makes him a favorite of mine when I need manual labor done, but Argusto never complains if I take advantage of his strength. He gets teased about his large head, but he just laughs it off and goes about his business.
Alexandra Revolcy will be 16 on April 8th. She is painfully shy; I don't think I've ever had a conversation that lasted more than 2 minutes with her, but she is affectionate and caring, especially with the younger children. She becomes friends with the New Life Link kids and is often sitting with them, just holding them, sometimes helping them with their homework or with a letter to a family member. When exams roll around, Alexandra studies harder than anyone else and she pushes herself to get top grades in everything, even math which she has confessed to me she hates passionately. But when I think of Alexandra, the first thing that comes to mind is letters. Alexandra writes letters to everyone, perhaps to make up for her shyness about talking. She kept me busy every day sending letters to people she has only met once or twice that she has claimed as her friends and that she remains fiercely loyal to.
Miscardet Junior takes time to win over, but once you have won his affection, he is a darling little boy. I used to hug him hello and he would just stand there; now, he hugs me back. And where I used to watch him and he would blush and run away, now I catch him watching me, waiting to see if I'm going to come talk to him. He likes to tease, coming up behind me and giving my knee a little kick so I stumble forward, and he likes to come up with silly nicknames for the other kids like Angelo for Jacques and Bernado for Bernadin. He's always the first one up in the morning and the most enthusiatic about going to play soccer, even when no one else is interested. I remember when Miscardet once asked me, "Keziah, why do you look at me like that?" and I told him, "It's because I love you, Miscardet." He just stared at me, as if he couldn't fathom the possibility that anyone would love him. He's a great kid and his birthday is June 18th.
Lovely Previlus (on the right) will be 16 on Aug. 2nd. She is a performer, a dancer, a singer, a story-teller, always looking for the spotlight. I generally find her in the middle of a throng of giggling girls or racing about the halls, chasing down one of the younger ones. She has made me extremely proud by her stubborn decision to write all her letters in English - she will sit down with a dictionary and write long letters to me, Nikki, Bryn, and her friends in the States. They're not perfect, but I love the fact that she tries so hard. Lovely is also a peace-keeper who helped me immensely when one of the other girls got mad at me and refused to reconcile. Unfortunately, Lovely also likes to tease and to talk very sarcastically, and although she does not mean it to insult, that's how it comes across and she can be a difficult one to handle sometimes. But when she realizes that she has pushed you too far and you really are hurt, she apologizes profusely and sincerely, and does change her behavior, at least for a while. (For more on Lovely, see my post on Tuesday Oct.16 entitled "Sad news").
Acheley Lorisma is one of the quietest boys at HFC, and I was surprised when I sat down with my calender and saw that his birthday is fast approaching on Aug. 11th. Acheley gets along with everybody, and when I say that, I mean that I can find him playing with anyone from the youngest of the boys to the oldest, from the most rowdy of the girls to the sweetest. He is willing to step out of his shell and do things that the other boys would never do in a million years, for instance when the girls and I put together a play with the story of Queen Esther, Acheley volunteered to play the King. He hits a nice balance between doing quiet indoor activities such as beadwork (and he gives away every single item he makes) and playing soccer with the other boys. He tends to put others before himself whenever I'm handing out gifts or talking on the phone, but he also isn't afraid to advocate for himself when he needs something.
Debbie Dorval, turning 16 on Sept. 8th, is an absolute sweetheart. She has this radiant presence that comes from her beautiful smile and from her gentle nature. Debbie is kind to everyone, takes care of the little kids, helps her peers with projects and hairbraiding, shares everything she owns, loves to cuddle with the New Life Link babies, and sews whenever she gets the chance. She is quiet, content to sit back and watch the other girls create drama, but she also enjoys getting up on stage during their talent shows and modelling competitions. Debbie is one of the girls who I hope will be able to work with me in a medical clinic. I can't think of anyone I would rather have holding my hand if I were sick and in pain. (For more on Debbie, see my post from Oct. 16th, entitled "Sad news").
The last birthday, on Oct. 18th, belongs to Chrystel Jean. Chrystel is a tough person for me to write about because she acts very differently with me than she does with most other people. Chrystel is bitingly sarcastic, a trait that she uses to cover the fact that she is afraid that the white visitors of the pension will look down on her because she is Haitian. But since she is so stand-offish and rude at times, most people never understand her and never get to know the fun-loving Chrystel underneath. It took me a few months to win Chrystel over, but she finally must have decided that I really loved her and I wasn't about to look down on her because of her nationality. Now, she is openly affectionate with me and I have grown to love spending time with her because she tells the most hilarious stories. And she has gotten better about her fear of white people - when my friend, Maggie came to visit for 3 weeks, Chrystel became her friend within days, and when I left in May, I told Chrystel that I expected her to show other Americans the same person that she had revealed to me and to Maggie. It wasn't a miracle change, but Chrystel was more gentle and less rude to Nikki and to Bryn than she had been to Kim or to me at the beginning of my stay. I know that it's hard for her to be so vulnerable; she would rather be difficult to protect herself from the pain of loving people who are only there short-term. Such is the life of an orphan and although I would like to say that I would not act the way she does, if I had suffered the abandonment and lack of love that she has, I would probably do the same thing.

Santa Barbara Dance Theater just returned from their second tour of China. There, the dancers were so well received by host audiences that they are already slated to go back sometime in the coming year. This past weekend, Santa Barbara audiences got a chance to see why UCSB’s Dance Company, who also participated in the international tour, joined SBDT for Cycles, a varied and entertaining performance at Hatlen Theater.
The evening began with “Artifice,” choreographed by SBDT artistic director Jerry Pearson. The visually engaging piece immediately established the company’s signature use of props and technology. Video visuals regrettably detracted somewhat from the dancers, although one of the high points of the performance involved Cybil Gilbertson interacting through movement with the video projection. Wearing a long white hoop skirt, Gilberton slowed when her on-screen counterpart slowed, reached out as though to touch hands with the projected image, and fluidly mirrored the movements of dancers diving into water.
Recently retired UCSB faculty member Tonia Shimin premiered her newest piece, “In Our Own Light,” set to Karen Tanaka’s “At the Grave of Beethoven.” The organic quality of movement allowed SBDT’s performers to exhibit their lyricism, and the result was moving. “In Our Own Light” was possibly the most technically demanding piece of the evening; free from props and visuals, the dancers used only their bodies to communicate drama.
The true highlight of Cycles was Pearson’s “Romeo and Juliet,” set to Tchaikovsky’s powerful “Piano Concerto No. 1. Pearson explained he wanted to combine the melodrama of Shakespeare’s play with silent films, while using props to match the dancers’ emotional architecture. Sarah Pon, who stood out in each piece, danced the part of Juliet to Blake Hennesy-York’s Romeo. The play’s prologue was projected on screen, much like a silent film, but the language soon switched to modern day humor. The props included five pillars constructed of large cardboard boxes, stacked one on top of each other and were used creatively, with dancers arranging them to build scenery and then knocking them over to convey emotional turmoil.
The UCSB Dance Company joined the professional company for “Necessary Losses” and Pearson’s premiere, “The Life Cycle of Trees.” The latter had moments of brilliance, including a human train, where dancers’ linked arms united all 18 bodies into one neat and well-rehearsed series of movement. Video technology once again distracted focus from the dancers, with scenes of the destruction of trees. But the energy of the collective elevated “Life Cycle” to an exceptional effort.

Taylor Swift has released her seventh studio album, and she “couldn’t be more proud”.
The 29-year-old released her new album Lover this morning, which she has described as a “celebration of love, in all its complexity, coziness, and chaos.”
After Lover hit streaming platforms, Taylor tweeted: “It’s the first album of mine that I’ve ever owned, and I couldn’t be more proud.”
Of course, Lover is Taylor’s first album release since leaving her former record label Big Machine, who own the rights to her back catalogue of work.
This album is very much a celebration of love, in all its complexity, coziness, and chaos. It’s the first album of mine that I’ve ever owned, and I couldn’t be more proud. I’m so excited that #Lover is out NOW: https://t.co/t7jK7XmEqa pic.twitter.com/NMgE7LTdGZ

Back in June, Scooter Braun’s company Ithaca Holdings bought Big Machine Label Group.
After the news hit headlines, the singer publicly slammed Scooter as a “bully”, and said she was “grossed out” by the fact that he now owns a large portion of her music.
However, Taylor is now planning to re-record the songs, so she can own the copyright to the new versions.

I posted some picture of my fin setups that may be of interest to you, in the Uncle Jaffa's fin Primer.
Unfortunately the fin companies haven't made a generic fin box so some designs are limited to the box or plugs that come with the board.
I am finding the C drives great for pushing the high line in hollower waves to get that extra bit of speed. When I can't use the C drive fins the futures vectors do the same job. By I can't go head to head with them as the fitting systems are entirely different.

Modern tools needed for agricultural efficiency
Updated: 2012-03-09 20:40
By Chen Xin (chinadaily.com.cn)
Wang Jinfu, general manager of Chery Heavy Industry, an Anhui-based machinery supplier, said China now stands at a turning point of transforming its traditional agriculture to a modern one equipped with precision farming machinery.
"Although China has seen eight consecutive years of grain harvest increase, problems still exist, such as overuse of fertilizers and pesticides and the inefficient use of arable land, seeds, water and other resources," said Wang, a deputy to the National People's Congress.
China uses more fertilizer and pesticide than any other country, and their overuse has greatly degraded soil quality and polluted groundwater, and could cause other food safety problems, Wang said.
Only 30 to 35 percent of fertilizers and pesticides are efficiently utilized in the country, experts say.
Wang said precision agricultural machinery would help greatly increase the efficiency of fertilizer and pesticide use. He noted that in many agriculturally highly developed countries, pesticides can be sprayed on every leaf of a plant using precision tools without excess chemicals dripping to the soil.
"Precision farming machinery is urgently needed, especially now, when the country's need for grains is growing but its arable land and farming population are shrinking," he said.
Precision machinery helps collect information on weather and soil and then determines how much water and fertilizer are needed at each growth phase for every type of crop, he said, adding that could aid output growth.
"We should make more efforts in innovation and core technology development. Technology imports and mergers and acquisitions of advanced overseas machinery manufacturers are also a must to help speed our equipment upgrade," he said.
Wang said the government should guide farmers on the tools they need according to the environment, soil and weather of each place and species of crops they grow, and subsidize them in buying machinery. Training in using the tools should also be provided, he said.

Several Mexican farmworkers were k!lled and dozens were injured on an Oregon interstate on Thursday when a semi-truck driven by a North Highlands resident is suspected of driving under the influence.
Manslaughter, DUI, reckless driving, and assault are among the charges against 52-year-old Lincoln Clayton Smith, who was detained on Friday. He was detained at the Marion County Jail without the possibility of bail.
The accident was among the de@dliest on Oregon’s highways. Agricultural workers returning home from a long day of harvesting were the victims of the van cr@sh, according to the state’s farmworkers union and Mexican authorities.
The names of the seven people k!lled and four others injured after a semi-truck careened off Interstate 5 and into a van stopped on the shoulder near Albany, in the agricultural Willamette Valley, have not yet been published by authorities.
The PCUN, a union based in Woodburn, issued a statement late on Friday night confirming that the 11 passengers in the truck were farmworkers and that the organization had reached out to some of the families to provide assistance. Those who had been impacted by the tragedy were also sent sympathy.
The union’s executive director, Reyna Lopez, was cited as stating, “At this time, families are asking for safer roads for workers commuting after a hard day’s work.” In a statement it posted to Facebook and Twitter in Spanish, the Mexican Consulate in Portland confirmed that the victims were farm workers.
Seven persons were k!lled and four were injured in the accident, the Oregon State Police said in a statement. All of the victims were Mexican agricultural workers. For “urgent medical attention,” the consul went to a hospital in Salem, the state capital.
The consulate added that it was working closely with law enforcement to track down the de@d person’s loved ones. To contact the consulate if you are a family member of someone who has been k!lled or injured. No one could say for sure if Smith’s case had been given to the state public defender’s office or to a specific attorney.
The cr@sh is related with the following list of links, which may be found below:
- Multi-car Crash in South San Jose K!lls One, Injures 3
- Oregon Semi Truck Driver Charged in Crash That K!lled 7 and Injured 4
A message left with the office seeking comment on this was not immediately returned, and a lawyer whose name appears in court documents said she had not been formally assigned the case and therefore could not comment. The district attorney at Smith’s arraignment reportedly indicated that Smith had refused a field sobriety test and was unable to concentrate or answer simple questions.
This was published in the Salem Statesman Journal. According to the article, the prosecutor also claimed that Smith admitted to using “speed” the day before the accident and that he was in possession of methamphetamine.
According to the Statesman Journal, the DA stated that eyewitnesses reported hearing the truck swerve in and out of its lane while traveling northbound on Thursday afternoon before it collided head-on with a van.
The vehicle was allegedly rammed into the back of a parked truck in Oregon, according to state police. The van was completely filled with innocent people. Police in Oregon said seven people were k!lled altogether; six of them passed away at the scene, and one more d!ed after being flown to a hospital.
The news can be confirmed by the tweet below:
The status of the four injured has not been disclosed. In the aftermath of the incident, the Albany Democrat-Herald reported seeing bodies wrapped in plastic in a nearby field. The accident is among the de@dliest in Oregon history.
A family of seven, including five young children, perished in a head-on collision on a lonely road in Harney County, eastern Oregon, in August 2018. Total f@talities reached eight. After losing control on ice Interstate 84 in December 2012, a tour bus smashed through a railing and went plummeting down a steep embankment, k!lling nine people.
Near Pendleton, in a place called Deadman Pass, a bus carrying around 40 persons was involved in an @ccident. In 1988, seven additional people were m*rdered and thirty-seven more were injured in a car disaster on Interstate 5 near Albany.
There were 23 vehicles involved in the catastrophic collision, and two infants were among the de@d. About 70 miles (113 kilometers) south of Portland, Albany is located between Salem and Eugene. The West Coast is mostly connected by I-5, the main north-south interstate highway.

Narrative approaches have gained popularity as a way to understand the construction and development of political identities over a person’s life span. However, little is known about how lifetime activists remember and make sense of different types of political experiences. To overcome this gap, this study aims to explore thematic and structural features of the narratives of lifetime activists about political experiences (O1), as well as examining differences in these features according to the type of experience described and the life stage at which the event narrated occurred (O2). Forty political activists aged 65 years or older were invited to explain a positive event, a negative event and a turning point in their political participation. The motivational themes, affective themes, themes of integrative meaning and structural elements of the narratives were analysed. Results show significant variations in these narrative features according to the type of political experience described and the life stage at which the event narrated occurred. Our study adds to the previous literature on political identities showing that, far from being monolithic, lifelong activists’ narratives about political experiences show significant variations according to these two features. Overall, the structural variations that we found in lifetime activists’ narratives about political experiences largely mirrored previous literature on general autobiographical narratives. This means that, regardless of whether life stories are general or domain-specific, their structural characteristics and the variations they show by life stage and type of narrated events are largely similar.

The National Post has a certain snooty obliviousness to it that explains why it isn’t relevant.
This latest column is interesting, trying to argue the case against the government because it would “politicize” journalists…as if they were not politicized already.
Media outlets were openly lobbying the government for the Benjamins in the space that is supposed to be about news.
They were whoring themselves right out in the open, saying they were bribable.
They stated they were for sale and demanded the government be their johns.
Including the National Post.
Notice that they never made any changes to either their business model, nor their journalism model.
Doing the same passive thing and expecting a positive outcome.
Because their motives were never about informing people, but lording over them.
And they figured the government has money and the same intention: so let’s finally drop the pretence that there is a separation, let the press be your organ and rub us the right way and we’ll aim wherever you want us.
And this is the second time the government gave money to media outlets.
Two hundred fifty million was not enough for the whore.
Now it is more than double the last time.
And the last hit didn’t do a fucking thing; so how will this be any different?
This Brothel of the Damned is a hoot.
Andrew Coyne notes the fucking around:
Well now its 2018, and the publishers have long been leading the charge for federal aid — not only in luncheon speeches but in their own pages, not to mention numerous private meetings with federal officials. The publishers’ association even went so far as to suggest a model of how the money might be delivered, complete with promises of what sort of coverage they would provide in exchange.
If the government had balls or ovaries, they would have told the press to go fuck themselves, but the government is as loose with their morals as the media who has been lobbying for fuck money.
And obviously, they sheltered their sugar daddies in order to get the dough, and screw the little people: they are the targets to manipulate, not the electorate to inform.
And then the attempted sunny spinning of rot:
The government’s blackly brilliant answer: an “independent panel” of journalists will determine who is eligible to receive the government’s cash. Of course! Make the inmates fight among themselves! Let decisions about which journalists get to keep their jobs be made by other journalists! Who can blame the government then?
So while one group of journalists is scrambling to stay onside with the panel’s government-mandated definition of “core journalism standards” and “professional journalism,” another group will be angling to be appointed to this panel. Since that’s where the real power will lie.
Just so we’re clear: I don’t actually think the government will appoint a group of card-carrying Liberal hacks to this “independent panel.” They won’t need to. If the example of the Liberal-appointed “independent” senators is any guide, they will be scrupulously non-partisan, of unimpeachable respectability, and dependably progressive.
That’s right: people who fucked up the profession get a cushy government job to make decrees about which one of their little friends gets taxpayer monies as if they should be entrusted with a task they messed up the first time.
The press in Canada have already marketed themselves as government hacks. They haven’t been independent: it is the reason Left-leaning Ontario either went Right: whatever the press told them, they didn’t believe. That they trusted Doug Ford more than the press or the Grits says everything you need to know.
It sounds like a case of federal Liberal incompetence, but it is a case of federal Liberal corruption. This ruse is something I would expect from some socialist or communist regime: brazen nepotism with an open Big Brother bent.
What we are starting to see is a quiet revolution: people are now pulling away from Establishment entities. Those overlords are trying to demonize those by claiming they are fascist populists, but the gambit’s effectiveness is not gaining traction. That Canadian media outlets have hedged their bets wrong shows, (a) that they have no idea of the reality they proclaim to be covering, and (b) they are now in serious danger of a different sort. They have now declared that they are against the people.
But journalistic ignorance is to blame for their predicament.
I have been taking a course on teaching through Harvard University, and there are discussion forums where educators taking the course can post information. I had posted a two-part news article about what we are learning this week from a public radio station without making any comments one way or another about the quality of the pieces.
It isn’t surprising that one professor immediately saw the holes and flaws with the piece, and asked smart questions, and it was then I responded that when you have a product that misinterprets information, the public are misinformed, but have some sort of demented idea that now they are informed, and make demands that they shouldn’t because it doesn’t apply to their situation.
And giving money away to losers who fucked up their profession as they start to argue who is going to get the pennies is pathetic — but as I have said before, throwing money to these knuckle-draggers is a waste: this won’t save a dead profession, and it will not help the Grits win the election.
Because the middle class in Canada are jittery, arrogant, unknowingly misinformed, and have gotten too cocky as they have been lulled into believing it will all work out in the end regardless of what happens.
More fascinating, is that you have a divided Left, and weak Right who will battle it out, but the upcoming election will not be decided by either group.
It never is.
It is the pragmatists in the centre who call all of the shots.
And they have much to ponder.
For one, traditional media doesn’t sway them at all. Because they look at the bottom line and governments never give them any graft or goodies because they are always pandering to their own flock and fringes, bypassing them completely, mistaking those who are too intelligent to hold political affiliation with being apathetic.
For another, Donald Trump won the battle on social media, bypassing the press, and both the press — and the rich white Leftist Establishments overlords shit their pants because they thought they were clever and cunning, when they were just conniving with the ridiculous assumption that the Internet was just for those hip young Leftist kids and old Republican retirees wouldn’t be able to use social media.
Fucking arrogant morons.
So then the Left discredited social media with their various distorted canards about Russia, as if countries such as China, Saudi Arabia, the UK, and the US don’t regularly meddle and use propaganda to rig elections themselves.
So they managed to frighten their own base, but not as much as they could: the US primaries will almost always have both the House and the Senate switch parties to oppose the president…and the Senate didn’t sway.
So had we not had this shit fit propaganda-fest, the outcome would have been more in line with the Left than the Right.
Now, this is a significant shift. This means that social media’s fortunes have now been tied to traditional media, and neither is an actual force.
What we have is a void, and the prime group that will determine the election have been freed from both influences.
All thanks to the Left who have been behaving like the Catholic church: trying to shame people in order to control and manipulate them under the laughable pretence of “morality.”
Both have been derailed.
Trump won on social media, and then the Left burned that bridge, thinking people would hop on the traditional media bandwagon, and it is the reason the Canadian federal regime is now bribing the dead Canadian media.
Doug Ford won his majority without either social media nor traditional media backing him.
The NDP and the provincial Liberals played up to both, and both lost.
Ford’s victory is neither minor, nor contained to Ontario: it is a significant shift in the ideological landscape, and what we are witnessing is a rapid transition away from all forms of media.
As the extremists on both sides are rapidly burning through their goodwill and authoritative capital, the traditional structure of communications is imploding. The overloading of the overlords is merely speeding up the inevitable with no alternative on their minds because they not real leaders with vision or an eye on the future: they are conniving hoarders trying to cling on to power.
And Canada has an old school fuddy duddy Liberal regime who not futurists but script-followers who think bribing a dead profession will do something for them.
They should remember state-run propaganda did not work for the Soviet Communists, either.
And that was pre-Internet days.
The Internet was always a transitional medium the way radio was: it paved the way for television.
And it is paving the way for something else.
The Canadian Liberal regime are not the guiders to the upcoming era.
And neither are the American Democrats.
The lot of them are Yesterday’s Rulers.
That is going to cost them more than they realize.
Journalism is also Yesterday’s Chroniclers.
And hitching their ride on any government is not a good idea.
The Internet trained people to speak in a public forum, once you have trained a collective, they can rebel against content, but never the structure or the expectation.
They can abandon Facebook, but not the idea that their internal pecking order where they are they are right and have the right to express themselves and expect immediate change.
And that neo-Victorian narrative allows that fake halo where they cannot be judged, expected to pull their own weight, or question their motives or assessments.
That’s why you have perfectly healthy and abled-bodied people making sad faces for the CBC and the Toronto Star how evil it is to take away their free government money and make them go get a job as if that were horrible punishment.
The reality is that we have a Western society that is reality-averse. When you have a public that is that way, but a regime that is savvy to reality, you have a people who are exploited.
When you have a reality-savvy regime and a reality-savvy electorate, you have true, visionary progress, and you can properly channel idealism to achieve great things in short order.
But when both the regime and the electorate are reality-averse, you have an Age of Propaganda where everything is swept under the rug and people play mind games trying to prevent reality from exposing itself and revealing the truth.
That means nothing real ever gets done, and then the denials of the sheltered government prevent them from taking the hits…
But the electorate are not so lucky, and when you have an awakened reality-savvy electorate stuck with a reality-averse government, that’s when the real troubles begin.
The Grits are using unworkable reactionary methods to connive their way to victory. It would have worked for Ontario Grits, when laughing boy Patrick Brown was at the helm, but then more cunning minds prevailed, kicked him to the curb, and installed reality-savvy Doug Ford who cruised and cha-cha-ed his way to a majority.
Donald Trump is now quietly reassessing the game board and has kept quiet. The knuckle-dragger haters assume he is becoming more predictable, but he will come back with a new strategy in the new year when the timing is right.
They forgot he did the same when he had to file for bankruptcy in his heyday, and then came back with a hit TV show that catapulted him to the White House.
People think they have found the hack for eternity and are holding on to it, even though it is working against them.
A stagnate society is a weak society that is resting on the laurels of the visionaries of the past.
Italy used to be the innovators of Murano glass until you came to the generation that hid its methods and stuck to the old ways, and then lost their prominence when the Czechs came on the scene with their better and more creative ways.
Governments are no different, and neither is journalism.
Both are clinging on to the past, particularly the leeches who have hedged their bets of hiding under the cover of Leftist ideology. They are the ones discrediting and ruining that faction.
The same goes for journalism, and now social media.
Money and dirty tricks will not salvage it because the mindsets have altered in a generation.
Another subtle, rapid, but significant shift.
Chaser will be there, and it is going to be an exciting escapade…

In its inaugural year, the festival will play host to an innovative and diverse programme of events including; a chance to browse the cycle jumble, listen to some fascinating talks by experts in the cycling field and catch theatre show Ventoux; documenting the infamous race between Marco Pantani and Lance Armstrong in 2000. Along with the chance to buy the latest cycling kit, eat treats from our Riverside Cafe and a mighty hill climb race to round off the day, Bike is a cycling enthusiast’s dream day out. Read our guide to bike below to find out what you can expect on the day.
The building will become a hive of activity, taken over in its entirety by the vast number of visiting exhibitors, who will be showcasing their work and offering various workshops and services throughout the day. These include; taking a demo bike for a short accompanied ride, making smoothies via pedal power on a specially-made bike, participating in a roller-racing competition against friends or family, trying out adapted equipment from Alice Holt Inclusive Cycling and much more. We’re also really looking forward to seeing the collection of vintage bikes that Pankhurst Cycles will be bringing to the festival showing the change in design between the 1930s-1990s as well as the stunning cycling design artwork of The Handmade Cyclist.
There will also be an opportunity for a quick beard or hair trim with the pop-up barber shop, a yoga and pilates class and a specially-tailored kids club. Local cycle clubs will also be running stalls at the festival looking for new members to join them for ther regular social rides as well as some of their upcoming bigger events and challenges.
A chance to hear from experts in the cycling field, talking about their own experiences with bikes and how they have become a part of their life. Charlotte from the world-renowned bike manufacturer Dassi will speak about the company’s relationship with carbon layup and how bike manufacturing is being brought home. You will also be able to hear Nasima from leading Surrey cycling business WyndyMilla, talk about women and their involvement with cycling. With other talks covering the topics of hydration, how to get into competitive cycling and how to improve your pedal technique, hear tips and tricks first-hand from the experts.
Throughout the day, there will be a series of short films being screened tellling stories from across the cycling world. The Fastest Woman in Africa tells the fascinating biography of Jeanne d’Arc Girubuntu, the only female on Rwanda’s national cycling team, and her path to overcoming her struggles and following her dreams. With a further four films covering a range of events including the Rwandan genocide, drugs and the Tour de France, and an attempt by a Scot to break the landspeed record, immerse yourself in cycling stories from around the globe.
theatre maltings: Ventoux
If the talks and film screenings weren’t enough, our theatre show in the evening should be enough to satisfy even the tamest of bike fans. Ventoux is the most fearsome mountain in France, and the sight of the greatest race cycling had ever seen, the epic Tour de France race in 2000 between Lance Armstrong and Marco Pantani. However, with what we know now about the pair’s struggle with drug abuse, Ventoux restages the race including the information that was kept secret from the public for all those years, equipped with innovative staging, stunning projections and original race commentary. You can book tickets here.
Rounding off the day in style, there will be an epic hill climb race up Firgrove Hill, sponsored by Fleet-based cycling shop Pedal Heaven and promoted by local cycling club VC Meudon. The hill climb will be held as an individual time trial with the first rider being set off at 18:00 and subsequent riders following at minute intervals. With over £250 worth of prizes offered across different categories, there are plenty of opportunities to come away a winner, including fastest male and female, fastest team of three and fastest vintage bike. With only a few spaces left to take part, visit the webpage for more details.

Encouraging New Data Presented at Chicago Multidisciplinary Symposium in Thoracic Oncology
Results from the VeriStrat analysis of serum or plasma samples taken from a Phase II study evaluating erlotinib, gemcitabine, and erlotinib plus gemcitabine in elderly advanced NSCLC patients were presented today at the Chicago Multidisciplinary Symposium in Thoracic Oncology. The retrospective analysis showed that the VeriStrat test was able to identify patients more likely to have a slower progression of disease and longer overall survival when treated with either single agent chemotherapy, gemcitabine, or targeted therapy, erlotinib.
Data was presented by Thomas Stinchcombe, MD, Associate Professor of Hematology/Oncology at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. VeriStrat testing was performed on pretreatment serum or plasma samples from 105 study patients with classifications of 63 as VeriStrat Good (60%) and 35 as VeriStrat Poor (33%). Results showed in the gemcitabine treated arm, there was no significant difference between patients classified as VeriStrat Good and VeriStrat Poor for both progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). However, in the erlotinib treated arm, patients classified as VeriStrat Good had a statistically significant improvement in PFS (p=0.002) and OS (p=0.014) compared to patients classified as VeriStrat Poor. Patients classified as VeriStrat Good also had better PFS (p=0.027) and a strong trend toward better OS outcomes (p=0.051) in the erlotinib plus gemcitabine arm compared to patients classified as VeriStrat Poor.
Researchers concluded in multivariate analysis that the VeriStrat test was predictive of both PFS and OS outcomes between erlotinib and gemcitabine arms ( P <0.001, P=0.017, respectively) and that further studies utilizing VeriStrat to select more beneficial treatment regimens for lung cancer patients are warranted.
Dominic Spinella, PhD, Vice President of Clinical Development and Medical Affairs at Biodesixcommented “It is exciting to see that VeriStrat consistently, and across multiple studies, identifies patients who may be good candidates to receive erlotinib therapy. Importantly, this is the first study where we have identified a possible treatment option for those patients who are poor candidates for erlotinib: single agent chemotherapy with gemcitabine. These data support a role for VeriStrat in helping oncologists select the most appropriate treatment for their lung cancer patients.”

Winter strategies for healthy immune system
Winter is a good time to take a look at the strategies and supplements that help bolster our immune system and ward off or minimize the downside of low immunity, such as colds and flu, tiredness and lethargy. Many of us start out the New Year with health and fitness goals and the last thing that we want is to have these slowed or stopped due to the fatigue or poor health that low immunity can bring.
When thinking about boosting the immune system, the first thing that comes to mind is Vitamin C. Vitamin C is probably the most recognized and used supplement and is none the less useful because of that. Most of us probably think of citrus fruits as the primary source of Vitamin C from the diet, but there are a number of vegetables that pack a hefty punch of Vitamin C, including, Chili, Bell Pepper, Broccoli, and Kale. There are also other fruits to consider, Kiwi, Mango and Strawberries all deliver a healthy dose of Vitamin C.
Your diet is always a good place to start while trying to obtain your basic daily intake of vitamins and minerals. However, even when taking the recommended 5 a day servings of fruits and vegetables there is no guarantee that you will intake sufficient vitamin C for your needs. During colder months, we are cooking and warming our vegetables and this reduces the amount available Vitamin C we consume, which can result in deficiency. Adding a supplement to our diet is a very sensible precaution. Basic Vitamin C formulas are either naturally or artificially derived Ascorbic acid. The daily recommended dose for Vitamin C for adults over the age of 18 is 75mg.
Zinc is another essential for a healthy immune system. Zinc is a trace element that is essential for cells of the immune system, and zinc deficiency affects the ability of T cells and other immune cells to function as they should. The recommended daily intake is 15–25 mg per day and is available as a supplement either on its own or within multivitamin/mineral combinations.
Other herbs to consider are Echinachea, Goldenseal, Astragalus and Elderberry (Sambucus). These are popular herbs to use when looking to boost the immunity system and optimize wellness. These popular herbs are used in many preparations from soothing syrups and lozenges through tinctures and tablets.
AllStarhealth.com offers many options for Vitamin C, Zinc and immune boosting supplementation, check out our shopping pages today!

The headboard had a strong smell of paint but it is dissipating. It took several attempts to get the top board attached but once it was finished it looked great. It is shorter than I expected. The shams must be flat to see the headboard but I am still pleased with the product. It is a good product for a good price.
Quality is nice but the headboard is designed to only connect with a bedframe that has slats. Not so useful for a standard metal bedframe. We are still trying to get replacement parts for a workaround.

I have gotten to chapter 15 and after loads of one hit deaths i’m loosing the will to play it.
T-T I died a lot in the other mystery dungeon games however, that was usually down to a dumb decision not me having to avoid every Pokemon in sight for they can easily one hit kill me!
People wanted a harder PMD game after the overly easy game play of gates to infinity and they got it.
T-T I have been playing super Pokemon mystery dungeon and I’m finding the second friendship mission impossibly hard! Why the hell is this the 3rd mission!
You go from 2 basic “go to floor 2 and find Pokemon” to “beat this impossibly strong Pokemon.”. who thought that was a good idea.
*You can’t progress until you beat it.*
Plus who thought making the friendship Pokemon appear in town random without any explanation was a good idea! I found two legend Pokemon when the game killed me in a mission and said: “you can ether loose all your items and go back to your last save point.” I went back to my last save point and they were gone making me think the game had glitch forcing me to reset the game only to discover ONLINE that it’s random.
Y_Y I’m very annoyed.

(FLINT, Mich. – Dec. 18, 2013) The countdown is on! In only four days Flint’s tallest building, the historic Genesee Towers, will be blasted using an implosion process designed to allow the building to collapse within its own footprint. The demolition is scheduled to take place on Sunday, Dec. 22 at 10:00 a.m.
Demolition of the deteriorating 19-story building is a critical step in the continued redevelopment efforts of the downtown area. Exploration Park, a public park and learning space will replace the long-unused building. The park project coincides with the redevelopment of the neighboring Flint Journal properties that will house the new Flint Farmers Market, MSU Public Health program, lofts and retail space.
“I want to congratulate the demolition team for doing a yeoman’s job on preparing to bring the Genesee Towers down,” said Uptown Reinvestment Corporation (URC) President Tim Herman. “They have worked hard to ensure the safety of the adjacent properties and people living and working in the area throughout the demolition process and on the day of the implosion.”
Public safety is the top priority for the demolition team. A police-enforced safety perimeter has been established for the day of the implosion that encompasses Third Street on the south, Beach Street on the west, Harrison to Kearsley to Wallenberg to First on the north and southbound Chavez Drive on the east (see attached Safety Perimeter Map.b). It is strongly recommended that the public stay home and watch the implosion live on local media outlets including WJRT-TV12, WNEM-TV5, WEYI-TV25 and MLive-The Flint Journal web site.
Members of the public in the downtown area prior to and during the implosion event will be directed by Flint Police to areas outside the safety perimeter. There will be no public access within the safety perimeter.
There will be a designated press area in the Command Post in the Harrison Parking Deck at the corner of Harrison and Kearsley streets. Filming and live streaming from this location would be permitted from this area. The media contact on Dec. 22 is Elaine Redd, Director of Communications & Public Relations for the Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce.
A press briefing is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 20 at 10 a.m. at the Flint & Genesee Chamber of Commerce offices. On hand to make remarks and answer questions will be:
- Dave Lurvey, Project Manager, who will provide an overview on demolition preparations.
- Steve Pettigrew, Chief Demolition Manager, who will explain how the implosion event will progress and provide details of the demolition process.
- A representative from the City of Flint Police Department, who will discuss public safety and security protocols.
Evacuation notification. All addresses located within the safe zone (Approx. 600 feet from the Towers) which require evacuation have been notified and contractors have placed protective covering on nearby buildings.
Command Post. A designated command post will be set up on the perimeter of the safe zone for Flint Police and Fire personnel, Consumers Energy and City of Flint Water Department staff, implosion team staff and Genesee County Sheriff Paramedics.
Public viewing area. It is strongly recommended that the public stay home and watch the implosion live on local media outlets including WJRT-TV12, WNEM-TV5, WEYI-TV25 and MLive-The Flint Journal web site. Members of the public in the downtown area prior to and during the implosion event will be directed by Flint Police to areas outside the safety perimeter. The most likely site is the plaza area in front of Riverfront Residence and Conference Center on Saginaw Street. Be aware that streets will be blocked to through traffic in an area larger than the safety perimeter. (See attached Detour Map)
Implosion event. The actual implosion will be at 10 a.m. and will last approximately six seconds. Contract Drilling & Blasting, a nationally recognized implosion firm will place many small explosive charges at critical locations on the structure. These charges will detonate at intervals to dominate the direction of fall.
Effect of implosion on gas lines, water lines, electrical service. There will be no adverse effect on utility services as a result of the implosion operations.
Post implosion. Following the implosion, the Flint Police department will continue to hold the perimeter as implosion staff and utility personnel complete an initial safety inspection. When the site is determined to be “clear for clean-up,” the demolition team will spend the remainder of the day doing clean-up and assisting adjacent property owners in re-opening buildings safely.
Re-opening the Safety Perimeter. The safety perimeter will be re-opened in three stages. The original perimeter will be maintained initially. The next stage will be the first confined perimeter bounded by Saginaw Street on the west, midway between First and Kearsley Street on the north, along First to Stevens on the east and Second Street on the south. The third and final containment zone will be bounded by Brush Alley on the west, First Street on the north, Stevens Street on the east and Second Street on the south. All streets, except Brush Alley will be open to through traffic with implementation of the final containment zone.

If you’re looking for the best hunting bullet for 308 Winchester, you’re on the right track. This article examines the Barnes 130-grain TSX BT, the Nosler AccuBond, the Remington Core Lokt, and the Federal Fusion. We’ll also discuss other popular bullets. Here’s a breakdown of the differences between these bullets. We’ll also discuss how the different weights of bullets affect their accuracy.
Barnes 130-grain TSX BT
The Barnes 130-grain TSX BB bullet is designed for long-range accuracy and terminal performance. Its 100-percent copper body and multiple rings cut into the bullet’s shank offer remarkable expansion and ballistic performance. Featuring a blunted, razor-sharp tip, this bullet can also penetrate targets as deep as three feet. The 130-grain Barnes Tipped TSX bullet is handloading-only.
The Barnes 130-grain TSX BB is hand-loaded and has a muzzle velocity of 3020 fps. A single round of this bullet can kill an Alaskan caribou at 270yds. However, due to its limited ability to impart a broad wound and small exit wound, the BT Hunting is best used at long ranges.
The Nosler AccuBond hunting ammunition for 308 is a highly versatile hunting bullet that’s hard, accurate, and consistent. It’s a great choice for mixed-bag hunts, as it’s tough enough to take down dangerous game but expands enough to be deadly at long range. This is the perfect one-size-fits-all hunting bullet.
The core of the AccuBond is void free, which helps it shoot flat. Its pointy white tip contributes to its high ballistic coefficient and balances expansion, erosion, and penetration. It retains about seventy to eighty percent of its weight and penetrates slightly less than the Partition. The Nosler AccuBond is an excellent choice for most hunting scenarios.
Remington Core Lokt
A 30-year-old hunting bullet from Remington has been redesigned with a Core Lokt tip for improved performance on game. While this bullet isn’t as fast as its predecessors, it’s still more consistent and has excellent terminal energy. These features make it an excellent choice for long-range hunting. And if you’re looking for a hunting bullet for your 308 rifle, Core Lokt is a great choice.
The Core-Lokt is available for many popular centerfire rifle cartridges. It is a deer hunting bullet that’s known for killing big game quickly. And it’s affordable too! This hunting bullet is available in several different cartridges, including the popular 308 Winchester. Here are some other benefits:
If you’re looking for a high-performance hunting bullet for your 30-08, you can’t go wrong with the Federal Fusion. This round offers higher muzzle velocity and longer range than any other bullet in this roundup. Its heft and superior components also make it useful for a variety of applications beyond deer hunting. Whether you use it for deer or other game, the Federal Fusion will pay for itself with clean kills and excellent accuracy.
The federal fusion bullet is the best hunting bullet for 308 and the federal premium line features the legendary Nosler Partition bullet. This bullet offers a maximum muzzle energy of 2,600 foot pounds, perfect for hunting big game. This is a perfect bullet for hunting large game, so make sure to use a heavy one. The Federal Fusion is also suitable for hunting smaller game, as its low-density design will prevent it from exploding.
