NFL bettors surely are hoping for a successful slate as Week 5 kicks off Thursday night between the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos.
Here are a few Week 5 wagers to consider:
Matt Ryan Over 32.5 pass attempts (-120)
This is a very low number for a quarterback who’s best weapon in the run game won’t be on the field. Jonathan Taylor has been ruled out for “Thursday Night Football” with an ankle injury, which means Indianapolis will have to lean on the passing game even more than they have to this point. With the Denver Broncos heading into the game as three-point favorites, game script tells us Ryan and company will be playing from behind in some capacity, which bodes well for the over on this prop as well. Ryan has gone over this number in several different game situations so far this season. He had 50 attempts in the Week 1 tie against the Houston Texans and 37 in each of the last two weeks, with both a win and loss against the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans, respectively. Denver’s defense has been solid so far but they are allowing 32.3 pass attempts per game, which will be right around what we need to cash this bet.
2-Team-6 Point Teaser:
San Francisco 49ers from -6.5 to -0.5 at Carolina Panthers
Baker Mayfield does not look good … and that’s being nice. He has the worst quarterback rating in the NFL. According to ESPN’s QBR, he sits at 15.3, which is 10.9 points worse than the next quarterback (Justin Fields) and shockingly lower than the league’s best in Patrick Mahomes (82.3). Carolina is averaging the fewest yards per game (262.3) and just 19.5 points per game. Mayfield now has to face the NFL’s best defense by total DVOA in the San Francisco 49ers, who are allowing the fewest points in the NFL (11.5 per game). Mayfield will likely be feeling the pressure from the first play with his old friend Nick Bosa, who is leading the league in sacks, QB hits, pressures and pressure rate. Christian McCaffrey is the biggest threat on this Carolina offense and this matchup won’t be ideal for him. So far, San Francisco is allowing the second-fewest rush yards a game (73.3), and that doesn’t bode well for a running back that is already sparking trade rumors with his lack of durability just four weeks into the season. Give me the better offense, defense, and one of the best offensive minds, and head coaches in the NFL with Kyle Shanahan to win this one.
Jacksonville Jaguars from -7 to -1 vs. Houston Texans
The Jags have made it to Week 5 with a split 2-2 record. It’s important to note the manner of those wins, though. Week 2 they shut out the Colts 24-0 only to follow it up with a 38-10 blowout over the Los Angeles Chargers the next week. Unfortunately, a mix of poor play and bad weather led to Trevor Lawrence’s five turnovers in a Week 4 loss to the Eagles. The silver lining is that only one of those turnovers came from an interception and outside of that game, Lawrence has looked like a different quarterback this season. He already has eight passing touchdowns with a 65.7% completion percentage, after throwing just 12 touchdowns with a 59.6% completion percentage in his first NFL season. I still believe this Jags team is legit. They rank just outside the top-10 in overall DVOA on offense and sit in the top-10 in points per game through the first four weeks while the defense has been the anchor, ranking sixth best in total DVOA. A tough defense spells trouble for this Houston team that has yet to pick up a win in 2022. The closest they’ve got was their Week 1 tie with the Colts. They’re averaging just 18.3 points per game and 302 yards a game, both ranking as the sixth-fewest in the NFL. As much potential as Davis Mills might have shown down the stretch last season, that upside hasn’t come to fruition in 2022 and he has the fourth-worst QBR to prove it. While the secondary may be the strength of the Texans, they’ve given up the second-most rush yards per game and their overall defense ranks sixth-worst in total DVOA. Give me the better defense and more well-rounded offense down to a pick’em.

I use a large number of Rock Creek barrels. In my experience they are the best there is for 308 and 338 cal projects.
I have not used many of his other calibers, but the 308s and 338LAIs I build here all with RC barrels consistently deliver 1/4 moa accuracy, which is something I have not experienced with most barrels. Usually you get some that shoot incredibly well and others that do not. Having used about 100 of Mikes barrels in 2007, I have yet to have 1 not perform incredibly well.
From a gun makers point of view , they tool extremely well and need virtually no exterior refinishing once the machine work is done.
They clean easier than any barrel I have ever used.

First day first show is something I always wanted to do. So when the much awaited Akshay Kumar movie was going to be released during independence day weekend, I had already booked it online two days before. Another patriotic film, another Akshay Kumar starrer, he really seems to be making an impact with this new genre.
The infamous Nanavati case had been the highlight of a couple of earlier films, neither of which I have seen. Hence, it was good that I wasn’t carrying any baggage and would watch it without any pre conceived notions.
This movie is an out and out Akshay Kumar movie, he is the backbone of the film. He carries the film on his shoulders.
It’s early 1960s and the Indian navy is making its presence felt in the Arabian Sea. Men in uniform command respect, and envy.
There is a clash between the rich sindhi Arjan Bajwa’s character versus the parsi community of Rustom. Each community is using their clout to save their respective fellow.
The premise is fairly simple. A heartbroken naval officer, his cheating wife, the Casanova lover, his evil sister. The court room drama in the second half adds to the setting and thrill. This is also the last case that was heard by jury trial and henceforth the government abolished jury trials.
Though part of the story is based on fact, it’s the relationship drama that actually makes this a thriller. It’s a passionate crime done by a husband who’s madly in love with his wife and only national duty can set them apart for a while. It is during this time that the wife falls in a trap set by the Casanova Vikram Makhija, who is hell bent in teaching Rustom a lesson for being a patriotic and non corrupt officer.
It’s the price, Rustom pays for being an honest, loving husband. The crux of the case was whether Cdr Nanavati shot Ahuja in the “heat of the moment” or whether it was a premeditated murder. The film is about how he deals with it, understands his wife situation and also looks graceful even after commiting a crime and also wins the sympathy of the public and jury.
Finally he is set free and reunites with his wife and plays a bluff which in the end makes the corrupt naval officers committing suicide.
A must watch for Akshay Kumar fans.

This invention relates to liquid crystal displays.
Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) may be either directly driven or multiplexed. In directly driven LCDs, each segment or element has its own driver. In multiplexed LCDs, one driver drives a number of elements. For multiplexed LCDs having large numbers of elements, a matrix arrangement is commonly used, the matrix consisting of rows and columns of conductors having elements disposed at the intersection of each row and column conductor. The row and column conductors are energised by multiple level driving waveforms. The voltage levels of the waveforms are chosen according to the upper and lower transmission voltage threshold values of the liquid crystal and are conveniently generated by a resistive potential divider. This allows the voltage levels to be adjusted in step with each other by adjusting the voltage which is applied across the potential divider, e.g. by hand tuning. Such adjustment is required for initially setting up the display. Temperature-compensated LCDs are known, in which a temperature - dependent voltage source is included having a linear temperature voltage characteristic. Such temperature compensation gives acceptable performance over a limited temperature range, for example -5° to 45° C. If it is desired to operate over a wider range, it would be possible in principle to produce a voltage source having a non-linear temperature characteristic matching that of the display, but such a source would be considerably more complex and expensive than one having a linear characteristic, and would require calibration over the temperature range.
Another disadvantage of a temperature--controlled voltage source is that the temperature responsive element is in general somewhat remote from the display panel and has a different time--response under rapid changes of temperature. This means that until the temperature has stabilised, the contrast and legibility of the display will be degraded.
This invention provides a liquid crystal display comprising a plurality of liquid crystal elements; means for applying voltages across the elements; photo-detector means to detect the transmissivity of an element; and means for adjusting the voltages applied across the cells in dependence on the transmissivity detected.
The use of one of the elements of the display as a reference element, and the measurement of its actual transmissivity allows pre-selected optical properties e.g. contrast to be maintained even if there are changes in the physical condition of the material of the element e.g. due to temperature or ageing.
Voltages may be adjusted to obtain desired contrast or desired brightness.
The LCD may include a light source to provide a reference illumination of the element, and the photo-detector may be arranged to detect the intensity of the light source retro-reflected through the element.
Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention in which a multiplexed LCD display has a reference cell constructed as an integral part of the display;
FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment utilising a discrete reference cell;
FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment which is a modification of FIG. 1 in which a reference level is determined automatically;
FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment which is a modification of FIG. 2 in which the reference level is determined automatically.
FIG. 5 shows a fifth embodiment which is a modification of FIG. 3.
FIG. 1 shows a multiplexed Super Birefringent Effect (SBE) Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) comprising a matrix LCD display panel 2 having a main array of pixels which operate in the standard transflective or reflective mode in conjunction with either a rear mounted transflector and backlight, or a rear mounted reflector 4. A control pixel 1 is eclipsed from main view by the bezel and has a front mounted reflector 9. The control pixel 1 is substantially identical with the pixels of the main display. The control pixel is illuminated from the rear by a light source 8 such as a LED. Light from the light source passe through the control pixel 1, is reflected by the reflector back through the control pixel and falls on a photodetector 10. The control pixel 1 is driven alternately n fields on and m fields off by a spare row/column combination of the main horizontal 5 and vertical 6 LCD drive circuits. This is achieved by suitably programming the system control micro-computer 7. It is necessary to drive the control pixel 1 such that no DC bias be allowed to accrue across it.
The arithmetic mean of the output signal from the photodetector 10 is compared with a reference signal from a reference signal source 11 using a DC coupled Miller integrator-type comparator 12, the time constant-determining components of which are selected such as to effect satisfactory integration over the period of n+m fields. The reference signal is chosen so as to correspond with the desired transmission of the control pixel and hence of the main display.
The output signal of the comparator is applied to the resistor chain 13 which generates the reference voltages for the horizontal and vertical driver circuits 5,6, thereby determining the V on and V off voltages of both the control pixel and the main display.
To provide optimum contrast, the control pixel is driven such that m=n=2, i.e. 2 fields on, and 2 fields off, and the reference signal is chosen so as to correspond with 50% transmission of the control pixel, and hence of the main display. This feedback ensures that V on and V off are always maintained at values which produce optimum contrast, even at extremes of temperature. This is because, although the temperature/voltage characteristics are non-linear at temperature extremes, the V on and V off voltages maintain their relationship relative to the 50% transmission voltage.
Under certain circumstances it may be advantageous to increase or decrease the absolute brightness of the display, even though this means departure from the optimum contrast. This can be done by changing the values of m and n such that the ratio between the ON time and the OFF time of the control pixel is varied, the reference value remaining constant. n and m are changed by reprogramming the microcomputer, which is easily done and requires no additional electrical connections. It also allows the brightness of the display to be controlled remotely, using a databus to reprogram the microcomputer.
Illumination of the reference pixel and monitoring of its transmission may be effected by pulsed operation, for example 100 .s per field, in applications where power consumption is critical. Sample and hold techniques are advantageously employed in such arrangements.
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, as the reference pixel is an integral part of the display, accurate stabilization of contrast or absolute illumination will be maintained under forced heating or cooling of the display, and for variations in the properties of the liquid crystal itself.
A second embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 2. The main difference between this and FIG. 1 is that the reference pixel is not an integral part of the main display, but forms part of an auxiliary LCD panel 14. The auxiliary LCD panel is made of the same material and has identical electrical and optical properties as the main display. Such an arrangement allows the photodetector 15 and the light source 16 to be placed on opposite sides of the auxiliary panel so as to operate the reference pixel in the transmission mode. Otherwise, operation is identical to the FIG. 1 embodiment.
The embodiment of FIG. 3, shows a modification of the FIG. 1 embodiment in which the reference voltage is generated automatically. The reference voltage source 11 of FIG. 1 is replaced by second and third reference pixels 19, 20 and a second photodetector 17. The second reference pixel 19 is driven so as to be always hard ON, while the third reference pixel 20 is driven so as to be always hard OFF e.g. by applying zero volts across it. Light, which is conveniently obtained from the same light source 8 as that which illuminates the first reference pixel 1 of FIG. 1, is passed through the second and third reference pixels and falls on the second photodetector 17, which is preferably matched to the first photodetector 10. The second detector thus produces an output signal proportional to the sum of the best ON transmissivity and the best OFF transmissivity. It can be adjusted to give the desired reference value, namely half the sum of the ON transmissivity and the OFF transmissivity, by any convenient means. For example, the second and third reference pixels may each be constructed so as to have half the area of the first reference pixel, the second photosensor 17 may be half the area of the first photosensor 10, or the Miller integrator comparator 12 may include scaling circuitry e.g. a potential divider to reduce the value of the signal applied to it from the second photo sensor.
This arrangement is particularly advantageous as it requires no setting up or adjustment, even when different types of liquid crystal are used, the reference value always being set to give the optimum value for the particular liquid crystal being used.
The embodiment of FIG. 4 is likewise a modification of FIG. 2, and like FIG. 3, has second and third reference pixels 19,20, the second 19 being always hard ON, the third 20 being always hard OFF.
These additional reference pixels are preferably, but not necessarily, constructed in the same auxiliary LCD panel as the first reference pixel. Operation is otherwise the same as the embodiment of FIG. 3.
The embodiment of FIG. 5 is a modification of FIG. 3. In this embodiment, the light source 8 of FIG. 3 is not used; instead the ambient light incident on the front of the display is allowed to pass through the first, second and third reference elements. Otherwise operation is identical with the FIG. 3 embodiment.
While the description refers to light, this invention is not restricted to visible light, but also encompasses non-visible light e.g. ultra-violet and infra-red.
Further, while the invention has been described with particular reference to a matrix array, the invention is not restricted to the particular embodiments described. It is equally applicable to multiplexed LCDs in the form of alphanumeric displays, and indicators, or to non-multiplexed LCDs.

FRESH evidence that middle-age spread can lead to dementia was revealed yesterday.
A study of almost 500 people lasting 20 years found fat people were far more likely to have failing memories.
The Alzheimer’s peril was caused by insulin resistance — the condition behind type 2 diabetes.
Obesity and lack of exercise can fuel it.
Previous studies have revealed the brain is vulnerable to the effects.
Professor David Tanne, of the University of Tel Aviv, said beating the curse of middle age spread could help combat the dementia epidemic.
He said: “This study lends support for more research to test the cognitive benefits of interventions such as exercise, diet and medications that improve insulin resistance in order to prevent dementia.”
Previous research has also shown that abdominal obesity has a particularly harmful effect on the brain.

Being fat is also linked to a lack of exercise and depression, both of which are associated with memory problems in later life.
Last year a review of 14 studies involving more than 2.3 million people found patients with type 2 diabetes were 60 percent more likely to develop dementia.
Research has also shown that, similar to diabetes, glucose is not used properly in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease.
There are many similarities in the brains of people with diabetes and the brains of people with Alzheimer’s. But many people with diabetes won’t go on to develop dementia.
In the UK there are 850,000 people living with dementia, a figure set to rise to a million by 2025. About 3.2 million people have type 2 diabetes, and this is predicted to reach 5 million by 2025.

LABOR HELPS MITCHELL SHIRE CLUBS REACH FOR THE SKIES
The Andrews Labor Government is giving three Mitchell Shire sporting clubs the tools and resources it needs to grow.
Member for Northern Victoria, Jaclyn Symes, today announced Broadford Football Netball Club, Seymour and District Amateur Swimming Club and Seymour Cricket Club will receive funding from the Labor Government’s Sporting Club Grants Program.
The Broadford Football Netball Club has been awarded a $1000 grant, Seymour and District Amateur Swimming Club $952.80 and Seymour Cricket Club $1000 for uniforms and equipment.
“With new equipment and improved resources, I am sure these three local clubs will continue to prosper and attract new and upcoming talent,” Ms Symes said.
“The Labor Government understands the importance of community sporting clubs, it is where families connect, kids strive to be the best they can be and beginners become stars,” Ms Symes said.
“Country Victoria loves its sport and the Labor Government is committed to giving our emerging crop of stars the best chance of becoming champions.
Ms Symes said the Labor Government is committed to making community sport part of the lives of all Victorians, and the Sporting Club Grants Program does just that.
“Sporting clubs, like these in Broadford and Seymour are the lifeblood of our country suburbs and towns, where kids learn valuable life lessons and enjoy great moments,” Ms Symes said.
“Victoria is the sporting state, and the Labor Government wants us to stay that way.
“The Sporting Club Grants Program is just one of the Government’s initiatives that keep kids happy and healthy, communities active and local clubs strong.”

I love eggs. Unfortunately I am the only person in my family who does. But I found this great recipe and couldn’t resist making them. Then I made them again and again and… you get the picture.
The original recipe called for 6 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled but I try to go meatless at breakfast so I’ve substituted either diced peppers and onions or diced mushrooms and onions. Delicious either way, although I can see how bacon or sausage would be awesome.
Scrambled Egg Cups
3 Tbsp milk
1/2 to 1 cup diced veggies or meat
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese + additional for topping
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 12-count muffin tin with cooking spray. (Be sure to spray it on thick; those eggs like to stick.)
2. Whisk together the eggs and milk.
3. Stir in the cheese and veggies.
4. Pour into the greased muffin tin. (I used a soup ladle.)
5. Sprinkle additional cheese on top of each egg cup.
6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Since I’m the only one eating them I tried to freeze them. Unsuccessful. Don’t even try it. Just trust me. However, they do keep well in the refrigerator, so I make a batch on Saturday or Sunday morning and have a couple every day for the week.

Golf training aids: Why the PuttOUT is one of our favorite tools to help eliminate three-putts
Putting mirrors have been around for years. But the PuttOUT is a unique take with a modern feel on the traditional mirror, because it works on many aspects of putting. First, the mirror makes it easy to see eye placement over the ball at address. The mirror also helps groove a repeatable stroke with its two plastic stroke-path guides.
In addition, a horseshoe-shaped putting gate is included with the mirror. Place the gate on the ground a foot in front of the mirror to see how easy—or difficult—it is to start putts on your intended line. Putt through without touching the gate, and you know you’re striking the ball with a square clubface.
The mirror can be part of a larger, at-home putting studio that includes PuttOUT’s Putting Mat ($90) and putting cup called the Pressure Putt Trainer ($30). The “cup” is actually a plastic ramp that rejects bad putts and sends good ones back to the putter. For the ultimate challenge, try to putt into the golf-ball-size hole in the ramp.

|Publisher||CrossGen Entertainment, inc.|
|Publication date||March 2004 - May 2004|
|No. of issues||3|
Abadazad is an American comic book written by J.M.DeMatteis and drawn by Mike Ploog, with color by Nick Bell. Published in 2004 by Crossgen Comics to rave reviews, the series halted after three issues when Crossgen went out of business.
After Disney acquired Abadazad, along with the rest of CrossGen's intellectual property, the story was resumed in June 2006 in a hybrid format: a children's book series that combines sequential art segments alternating with prose segments. Originally meant to be a tetralogy, Disney Publishing changed plans to eight Abadazad volumes, of which only three were published.
Abadazad is a magical land that Kate Jameson â a surly, cynical fourteen-year-old child â has only known through a series of famous fantasy novels written a century ago by one Franklin O. Davies. When Kate suddenly finds herself journeying through the real Abadazad in search of her beloved younger brother, Matt â who vanished five years earlier â she discovers that the truth of Abadazad is far stranger, and more amazing, than fiction. She is guided to enter Abadazad by Little Martha, the protagonist of the novels which she had read, and is given cause to confront the villain known as Lanky Man, to whom is ascribed the disappearance of Matt.
- Abadazad: The Road to Inconceivable (June 2006)
- Abadazad: The Dream Thief (June 2006)
- Abadazad: The Puppet, the Professor, and the Prophet (July 2007, UK only)
- Abadazad: Historcery (cancelled)
Book 3, originally scheduled for US publication, appeared only in Great Britain, while Book 4 did not appear at all. The synopsis for Book 4 from Amazon.UK reads as follows: "A groundbreaking mix of fiction and full-colour comic strip that follows a headstrong girl's journey into the bizarre fictional world of Abadazad to rescue her brother. In 'Historcery', Kate has finally gathered the group of friends she hopes will help her to rescue her brother Matt from the evil Lanky Man: the walking candle Master Wix, Professor Headstrong, the puppet Mary Annette and Mr Glum".
Although he and artist Mike Ploog originally signed up for eight volumes (with hopes for twelve, depending on sales), J.M. DeMatteis said the Abadazad book series ended after three books, and the third book would not be released in the United States. DeMatteis credits the Abadazad experience as inspiring his 2010 prose children's fantasy novel Imaginalis.
Franklin O. Davies
Davies wrote "nineteen or twenty" Abadazad books, from 1898 to 1924, starting with Little Martha in Abadazad. Other titles mentioned include Queen Ija of Abadazad, The Eight Oceans of Abadazad, Professor Headstrong of Abadazad, The Enchanted Gardens of Abadazad, The Balloonicorn of Abadazad, The Edges of Abadazad, The Battle for Abadazad and The Wretchedly Awful City of Abadazad. Most of these feature Martha Cooper, a small, determined girl who possesses the means, in the form of a blue sphere, of travelling to Abadazad at will. The historical book series reveals that Martha herself had related the stories to Davies, who had written them into books, altering the appearance and characters as he thought best suited the audience. The difference between his version of Abadazad and the version Kate encounters in person is a recurring theme throughout the story. In the original Crossgen comic book, the fictitious author's name had been Franklin O. Barrie.

I occasionally wonder if strategizing all this relentless theorizing and study made me approach the connection in an unhealthy manner. After, my friend guided me to stop coming my connection like a lab rat and to make it. She could have been right.
Now I am uncertain just how a lot of individuals will review all this before they delve in headfirst to the internet dating game, but my proposal is until you do, and that I mean oh please take a peek at my rules: The Pullman Rules of Online Dating Know who you are and just what it isyou're looking for in a partner.
Once you encounter a Twin W4m personal casual encounters Indiana PA, there's an feeling that life as you know that it is going to change. Emotions, your feelings, and energy begin to change and you start feeling an merge to your Twin Flame as in the event that you have the identical mind.
The Risk of the Secret There's a potential risk of using The Secret for internet dating in order to target an person. There is a school of bwwm dating apps that thinks we do not always consciously know what's ideal for us, and when we consciously opt to put constraints on that which we are thinking about, we often rule out that which is truly best for us.
The larger and higher profile websites have attributes, but are geared to dating personals. They have memberships that are international also, so ifyou're searching for someone in your area, you may have a problem.
Let me describe what happens when guys who do not have a great deal of success with women fulfill with an attractive one. They stumble across a woman at school, work, or out in public. She's friendly and pleasant, but not flirtatious. The guy misinterprets her demeanor more than it is. She might have been half- interested in the beginning, but he strikes her over WhatsApp, or simply by sending text messages that are endless.
When Indiana PA trans casual encounters comes from inside, it lasts forever. It is rarely ever going to last for long when you craigslist casual encounters visalia w4m Indiana PA your happiness on sources nevertheless casual encounters married Indiana. No one knows you better than yourself. You know what you really need to keep that happiness going moving ahead, and how you've changed as a person, what you need to feel happy and fulfilled. It's easy to overanalyze and create relationships more complicated than it needs to be. The trick to keeping a long distance online dating Indiana would be to keep in mind that relationships- relationships- take action to keep them moving. By doing nothing, all those couples that you see that nevertheless manage to stay together and stay happy even many years later did not attain that. They put in the hard work needed to get to wherever they're right now. Both spouses must be happy to make the essential changes, to maintain a relationship fit and strong.

We would hit roadblocks, and I would find new tools or resources that would assist us navigate the partnership to be taken by them to another level. As their Relationship Agreements were created by my customers, it became evident that different partnerships known for composing styles, lengths, formats, tools, and rhythms in revisiting and revising their Relationship Agreements. Working with people with diverse personalities and varying definitions of what a" successful" relationship means to them challenged me to expand my resources and generate a highly effective guide for assisting them design their ideal partnership.
QUEEN RELATIONSHIP The" queen relationship" ( another term I have invented at the moment) is a connection where you maintain a certain sexual freedom by hanging out with more women, but you set a deep and lasting connection with only one of them.
You've got to be creative and constructive to maintain a man's interest in you so full of life. I recall one time my boyfriend told me ditch and to imagine we're both deaf. We began sharing our feelings for each other 7 days on casual encounters Indiana Indiana PA casual encounters app signs and eyes and then sat opposite each other. It was be a Indiana PA craigslist casual encounters beware casual encounters after craigslist Indiana PA.
Notice how this matches the definition of constructive self- talk provided from the analysis above: " accurate self- analysis, well- grounded beliefs, and an encouraging orientation. " Cases of Self- Talk At this point, you get the idea, but it's helpful to check at particular cases. Let's get concrete with a few examples which will help bring things into better focus.
Many men and women choose the path that is easier and do just fine with their lives, never understanding what was possible. Few people push ourselves to reach our full potential, and while we celebrate the achievements the work which went to attaining them is rarely focused on by our society. Make no mistake about it at one point in time those individuals faced bitterness and similar fears, and chose to take the path.
Passive strategy The guys here are to be extremely passive with women. They're not too clear that they are interested to become more than just friends. Signs that are poor are given by them to the women, and these women often don't select these signs that are passive.

You may be wondering, “Is air duct cleaning necessary?” As with all parts of an air conditioning system, certain regular maintenance items can prevent problems and increase efficiency. Everyday use leads to a build up of dust and dander as well as potential leaks in the air duct system that reduce effectiveness. As a general guide, we recommend professional air duct cleaning service every 5 years in the Los Angeles climate
Air duct cleaning plays a vital role in reducing indoor air pollution.
All of these dangers to your family can be prevented by regular, professional air duct cleaning and sealing. With the proper tools and knowledge, our competent technicians remove these harmful pollutants, returning your home to a safe environment for you and your family.
“EnergyStar.gov” reports that 20 to 30 percent of the air moving through a typical home’s air duct system is lost through leaks, holes, and poorly connected ductwork. Unfortunately, this results in higher bills as well as difficulty keeping the home comfortable, despite your thermostat setting. American Air Conditioning & Heating technicians are trained to locate these sources of lost air and repair them for maximum efficiency.
Common signs of duct problems:
Additionally, dust, particulates, and other items can build up in your air ducts over time, reducing air flow and creating an inefficient system. Regular cleaning not only protects you and your family from the dust and contaminants that are spread throughout your home, but also improves system efficiency and decreases unnecessary wear and tear on essential components.
If you can’t remember the last time you cleaned and sealed your air ducts, call us today for a free inspection and quote. We’ll send out a technician promptly to assess whether a cleaning is in order. If so, we will provide you with a fair price quote and schedule service when it is convenient for you. You and your family will breathe easier knowing that your system is free of undesirable contaminants and allergens. Plus, your system will operate smoother and more efficiently as a result of our thorough cleaning and sealing.
It’s possible to use a dustbuster or vacuum cleaner to remove loose dirt and dust just inside the air duct openings. However, it takes proper professional equipment to reach deeper areas where build up is severe and to remove the hardened debris found on the interior surfaces throughout your air ducts.
We urge you to steer clear of outfits like “Sammy with a Shop Vac.” You can trust American Air Conditioning & Heating to clean and seal your ductwork thoroughly and correctly with the proper equipment. Don’t compromise when it comes to home air quality — your family deserves the best.
Not with our cleaning systems and professional service. Shop vacs and commonly available vacuum equipment retain some of the dirt they take in. However, these units cannot contain the smaller dust particles found in your ductwork and they release them back into your home for a quick return to the air you breathe.
Take the right step and call American Air Conditioning & Heating. We’ll bring the right equipment that removes large and small particles from your air ducts and contains them securely, so that we take them with us when we leave. Our professional technicians also protect your home with freshly cleaned drop cloths and other protective equipment wherever we work to keep your home as clean as when we arrived.
Just as we can’t put a price on a healthy home air quality, it is difficult to provide an accurate cleaning quote without knowledge of your system. Price will depend on the number of registers and returns, as well as the unique system that you have.
No. We don’t provide the lowest cost but we do provide a fair price for the level of service we offer. The true cost of a low-end provider is the inconvenience of scheduling, repeat calls, and unsatisfactory results.
To be honest, some of our customers told us they called “Sammy with a Shop Vac” first. Then, after what looked like a low cost, they weren’t satisfied and finally called us for a thorough cleaning. A few extra dollars now saves time, effort, and money in the long run.
We’ll care for your home and complete
the job with speed and precision.
We know you’re busy and don’t need any more stress in your life. We’ll call to let you know when we’ll arrive, and be on time.
We’re homeowners too. From the moment we arrive, we’ll protect your home, flooring, and living spaces like it’s our own.
We are always honest and transparent about repair and replacement suggestions, and always provide the top quality work, satisfaction guaranteed.

Ashton Kutcher’s one-night fling with 22-year-old hottie Sara Leal cost him his marriage to Demi Moore, but the San Diego woman says it’s been no walk in the park for her either since their infamous hot tub hookup.
Leal blasted into the national spotlight after friends leaked the details of her tryst with Kutcher to tabloids.
But no reality show for her.
Instead, she told Fox News that she lost her job, was betrayed and dropped by her friends and even her own family members refused to speak with her.
Check out Sara’s photos; click to enlarge.
“My dad wouldn’t even talk to me, and I got a lot of disturbing phone calls, even from my friends’ parents,” she said.
“I got fired from my job. I am no longer friends with my best friend who was my roommate because it caused so many problems and I had to move out.” she said.
Among the most hurtful fallout, she said, was her portrayal in the media as a “slut party girl.”
She said her “friends” sold photos of her partying in Las Vegas.
‘Those made me look bad and everyone who knows me on a personal basis knows I am not a crazy slut party girl,” she said.
“Those pictures were one weekend out of my life that painted the worst image of me ever. I was a mess for two weeks straight it was so horrible,” she added.
She heatedly denied the image and said she now bitterly regrets the sex romp with Kutcher. But she said most 22-year-old single girls would have done the same thing.
“It was insane. I had no idea what I was getting myself into,” she said. “It might have seemed like I was asking for it, but I wasn’t.”
She said she didn’t realize Kutcher was married, and when the subject came up, he insisted that he had separated from his wife.
Leal was at least able to cash in on the deal by selling her story to UK tabloid.
Leal dished to UK tabloid The Sun about the night in San Diego that she hooked up with Kutcher at his Hard Rock Hotel suite.
She recently started work with a real estate firm and is training as a yoga instructor, according to Fox.

Jenna Bass is carving out a new aesthetic and narrative for local films.
Her debut, as the director of Love the One You Love, has been praised for welcoming in a “new wave of South African filmmaking”. Shot using handheld camera and on a micro-budget, Bass’ film tells the story of two people who discover that their romantic relationships may be a part of a conspiracy to keep them in – or out – of love
Love the One You Love defies the aesthetics of local films that South African audiences are so accustomed to seeing on their big screens, and tells a bizarre story. Set in Cape Town, there’s a phone-sex operator, lots of neon lights, and a cameo from a traditional healer.
The film won Best Actress, Best South African Feature Film and Best Direction in a South African Feature Film at the Durban International Film Festival in 2014. In this interview, we take Bass’ temperature and ask her about her debut film and where it fits in South Africa.
"Love the One You Love" is currently being screened at the Labia in Cape Town and at the Bioscope in Johannesburg.
When did you start making films?
The first film I made was a video of my friend's 18th birthday at a club in Long Street using a camera I'd bought after saving up money from doing children's magic shows.
Ironically, 10 years later, Love The One You Love opens in a club on Long Street, so not much has changed, despite the fact that I hardly ever go to clubs on Long Street anymore.
How did the idea for the film strike?
In 2013, I found myself incredibly disillusioned, not only with my career, but also with relationships, and where we were at in South Africa – probably like a lot of people of my generation. I felt that I'd been living in acceptance of so many illusions about the way that the world was supposed to be in terms of love, success, equality, justice and truth, and it seemed these things were all interlinked. It’s often easier to believe what we know can't be true, just because what we sense reality is far messier and more painful.
Despite a lot of lucky breaks and opportunities, I'd been struggling to make my first feature since leaving film school, and I realised that no one was going to believe I could do it until I did it myself. So I threw away a lot of the ideas I had about how films 'should' be made, and started working on a story I could tell with my friends, and the places around me in Cape Town.
What challenges do young people face in the South African filmmaking scene?
I think it's hard to get your first film made anywhere in the world: You have to convince one, or multiple people to take a big risk on you, because films, even low-budget ones, cost a lot of money. However, I think our biggest problem in South African filmmaking is partly creative in that there's frequently a lack of risk-taking, innovation and honesty. There is also what I believe is a distribution crisis.
South African cinemas and often the films themselves are not accessible to the vast majority of our population, people who have every right to not only watch and appreciate the many facets of the movie watching experience, but also to have the opportunity to consider the way in which they could use this art form to communicate their own stories and perspectives.
Unless we address this meaningfully very soon, I fear we'll lose the next generation of filmmakers and film watchers – film will become something their parents did. This is a long conversation, to hopefully be continued elsewhere, but suffice it to say that it's no longer enough to just make films, you have to be involved in this discussion as well as in using your work and other activities to address it.
What is the appeal of this film for audiences?
I think Love the One You Love is a totally different kind of South African film, in the characters it portrays, aesthetically and narratively. I have to believe that South African audiences have been waiting for this – not for my film necessarily – but for a sea-change in cinema to start reflecting some kind of relatable truthfulness, even if it's bizarre and sometimes extreme. I think the characters are very real, and as a result, loveable. They're also very funny. And I think the pain that they're going through in their respective loves is something we all feel and are sometimes ashamed to admit.
Ideally, what would you like audiences to take away from the film?
Of course, the film gives you things to think about, which hopefully anyone who watches it will continue to mull over afterwards. But more than intellectual messages, I'd like to give those who watch it an emotional experience, one that is up and down, nuanced, like life.
Films that sell at the box office in South Africa are often the candid camera sketch types. Do you think the audience is ready for a film like Love the One You Love? Are we ready to redefine our aesthetic?
I hope so! And I have to believe so. Are we ready to redefine our aesthetic? I think we've been ready for a really long time. Not that it will be cohesive or simple, or pretty.
The film is as much about Cape Town as it is about the characters. Tell us about your relationship with the city?
That's very true! I've lived my whole life in Cape Town, but I only started to get to know the city after leaving school. It was a revelation at the time to realise that the city was not what I thought it was; it was multiple worlds, many of which were ignored by the official narrative.
As a kid, I'd been really into fantasy, and now I was realising that I was only scratching the surface of the world I lived in. My experience since then has been learning as much as possible and doing the best I can to re-connect myself with people and places. I wanted Love the One You Love to reflect this. You can never sum it up, or show everything, but the film traverses the city and, I hope, shows it from multiple, interlinking viewpoints.
"Love the One You Love" is available to stream online via Video on Demand.

Took the Glock 19 to the range today for the first time since I got it back from the grip reduction. On the first mag about halfwalf through I had a malfunction where the slide caught the brass backwards as it was ejecting. Well I just racked the slide to clear it and chamber a new round not thinking anything of it. Then went on to firing several mags without any problems, till I was loading a mag and noticed a .380 round in my hand that I was about to load in the mag. Well, that got me thinking and I started looking at the brass (I was picking it up as I shot) and noticed that the malfunctioned round was infact a .380 that I had fired. It was a box of about 400 reloaded 9mm that I had somehow gonna about 6 .380s in it. Guess I should have known something was up from the moment my G19 malfunctioned though.

Psychological trauma burrows deep beneath our consciousness, into our flesh and joints. It can keep us bound in tight knots for years, even decades. It hides in the darkest of domains, from which eyes are averted and words are not spoken. As a means of survival, we turn away, pushing it out of our minds and deeper into those depths.
Dysmenorrhea is an unearthing and revealing of the shunned aspects of our lives. What happens when we turn towards the pain, even hold it in our hands? What if instead of affliction, our pain could be power?

Month of February is the Heart Health month and for a good reason – America’s number 1 killer is cardiovascular diseases. It is responsible for nearly 50% of all deaths in a year. It kills more than 9 other causes of death combined. Needless to say, this is a very important matter and it affects every one of us directly or indirectly.
As the title suggests, I will be devoting a series this February, on the Heart Health. I will list some of the most common heart health challenges in each blog article and share simple natural effective ways to keep your heart healthy and happy!
But first, in this blog, I will list some vital statistics regarding the state of the heart health in America. Then I will share and hopefully motivate you to take the first simple step seriously – to do a heart screening test to assess your current condition.
Alarming Statistics That Affect All of Us:
- 50% of all DEATHS in the U.S.
- A heart attack every 20 seconds
- 1 death every 60 seconds
- Over 1 million each year
- Kills more than the other 9 causes of death
- Not just the man killer – over 500,000 women every year die from heart disease – dwarfing breast cancer
- 60% of 5-10 years old are at risk for heart disease with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high insulin levels
- African Americans are:
•Twice as likely to suffer from heart failure•Twice as likely to die of a stroke•Twice as likely to have high blood pressure•Twice as likely to have diabetes– Heart disease is a staggering financial burden with estimates as high as 2 billion dollars a dayNeed I go on with more of this dark statistics? I think not!
The very first step of prevention is to get yourself an assessment of where you are, heart health wise.
- Ask your family doctor for a heart screening test or do an annual physical exam.
- Some of the typical heart screening test parameters should include at least a few of the following:
- Blood Pressure
- Pulse Rate (Heartbeat)
- Heart Strength (Ejection Fraction)
- Heart Rhythm (Irregular Heartbeat)
- Blood Viscosity (Thickness)
- Hydration Level
- Arteriosclerosis (Elasticity of large & small arteries)
- Atherosclerosis (Constriction of large, small and peripheral arteries)
- Duplex Doppler
- Pulse Oximeter
- CV Profiler
- Heart Rate Variability
- Augmentation Index
For those of us who do not have a medical insurance or cannot afford to do the conventional heart screening tests, do not loose heart! Thanks to advancement in technology, there are now alternative and cost effective ways of getting a quick assessment of your heart and we offer it at either of our facilities in Round Rock and Cedar Park:
- FDA Cleared Class II portable device called Digital Pulsewave Analysis (DPA) which does all of the above screen test parameters and more (grades your arterial age v. your biological age). We have this device on site, but appointment is needed. So, please give us a call, 512-310-8880 (Round Rock) or 512-528-0130 (Cedar Park) to schedule an appointment.
To celebrate the Heart Month, we will be offering the heart screen test at half-price (regular price $40 per person) for all our internet and social media friends, whoever would book an appointment with us this February. Give us a call first and come by either the Round Rock or Cedar Park store for the heart screening test.
Whatever you decide to do, take the first step toward your heart health. Your family and friends, not to mention your heart will thank you for it!

LUBBOCK, Texas – University Medical Center Health System’s brand new Family & Children’s Clinic located between 98th Street and Frankford Avenue opens Monday. The Facility is fully equipped with leading edge technology also includes a new approach to patient services. One of the more notable features includes a drive-thru care option.
UMC Physicians Corporate Medical Director Dr. Craig Barker said UMC has taken a lot under consideration over the level of care and needed practices from the pandemic.
“During the COVID pandemic, as you saw in Lubbock, we changed a lot of the things we had to do,” Dr. Barker said. “There are a few things that we can do through the window of a car – some immunizations, some strep tests, flu tests, a few things like that … We can do some upper respiratory quick investigation, somebody can come in, schedule an appointment, or come in for a quick test. They can get it online on the portal, or they can wait and get the answer here.”
UMC Physicians’ Jennifer Galey said other features include separate waiting rooms for patients in for routine visits and another for more immediate or more severe illnesses.
“One thing that’s really unique about this facility is that we have a ‘well’ waiting room and we have a ‘sick’ waiting room,” Galey said. “I think that is, especially in the time period that we are now – you don’t have to worry about bringing your child in, or your elderly patient, or someone that’s immunocompromised.”

Arsene Wenger & Reliant Robin
Arsène Wenger, OBE (born 22 October 1949) is a French football manager and former player. The Reliant Robin is a small three-wheeled car formerly manufactured by the Reliant Motor Company in Tamworth, England./5
An old article. Arsene Wenger admitting we were to reliant on one man, yet still sold him. Where are we going?
Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna, 30, says manager Arsene Wenger has more options this season because the Gunners are no longer reliant on striker Robin van Persie, who joined Manchester United in the summer.
Having made their worst start to a league season in the Arsene Wenger era, Arsenal fans were understandably perturbed by their club’s form and the gaping hole left by the sale of Robin van Persie. Olivier Giroud, considered the Dutchman’s replacement, took some time to adjust to English football and there was a fear that the Gunners would struggle without the 30-goal haul Van Persie managed last season – 22 strikes more than any other player in the Arsenal squad. But to compare Giroud to Van Persie, or contrast this season with last, is to overlook the new approach Wenger has decided to take. Rather than sign a like-for-like replacement, rather than continue to place all the goalscoring burden on one player, Wenger adapted his side and brought in three new faces to share that burden. Those three new recruits – Santi Cazorla (nine), Lukas Podolski (eight) and Giroud (nine) – have struck 26 times so far this season, at a strike rate of a goal a game. Van Persie actually struck less regularly, aver ...
