Snake Eyes Ver. 3.0 by FastfoodWatch
©2011-2016 Fastfood
When I was a kid there were a few characters that would get me all stoked just at the sight of them. Batman, Spiderman, the list goes on. These are characters that had a magical power over me, a thing, a mysterious aspect to their design that always sparked my imagination and ultimately led to me wanting to draw them over and over. This guy was in my top five and for a long time I was convinced that when I grew I was going to be a ninja badass too.
Who am I kidding, that's still the dream.

You know you can become a Ninja Bad Ass...
Another fave. Quick questionj. You a professional?
Simply fantastic! Snake was always one of my favs, so much so, I got a tattoo done on my outter left calf of snake. This would make a great tat! Again, very cool.

Yeah, I'm aware of the scale, but on comics, especially with weapons, they just seem to read better when you oversize stuff.
That's such a touching story... because It was the same for me too!
Love it. Everything about this is awesome. Are you going to color this?
Snake eyes is my favorite Joe!! Great job. Thanks for sharing man.

I love you.
who defends no bid contracts other than the people who directly financially benefit from them? people were hating you over THIS? were they all contractors?
People hate for no good reason, Josh is awesome
And one, Feit. And one.
Could you explain this in simpler words? I want to understand. Seriously. I am not being sarcastic-just a young mind looking for the deeper issues. Thanks.
i wish i were like you, easily amused...
Haters with unsubstantive arguments can and should be ignored.
#5, basically some public officials needed lobbying (or did they?), so they decided to award a $100,000 contract to their lobbyist friends.
The problem is that instead of saying "Hey everyone, we need X amount of lobbying, make us an offer" they went straight to their friends. If there had been actual competition involved I'm guessing it would not have been $100,000 worth of lobbying.
At best they're bad business people (do you always go with the first price you're quoted?). At worst they're laundering public money to their friends.
It's nice to see local public officials reading the Stranger's political postings...
Josh, I'd say you should be giving yourself a big 'ol pat on the back right now.
@10: I'm pretty sure he just did.
did you see how HOT senator hobbs was? wow.
Umm, not to throw cold water on this delightful parade, but how much do you suppose it costs to bid out a $100,000 contract? You have to advertise it, then have staff screen responses, then pull together an evaluation panel, then interview respondents, then enter into negotiations. I'm not saying it's not worth it, but really, how much do you think you're going to save? This is a Tim Eyman Republican wet dream (waste and fraud! waste and fraud!). If you think bidding out $100,000 contracts is going to free up enough money to house the homeless, think again.
Point isn't the $100K. Point is they shouldn't have done it the way they did it. You accept a certain amount of bureaucratic cost as a necessary expense to make sure that the process is open - who knows, maybe that company would have won the bid anyway?
But you don't do no-bid contracts in cases like this.

From the book jacket: A psychologist with a reputation for
penetrating to the heart of complex parenting issues joins forces with a
physician and bestselling author to tackle one of the most disturbing and
misunderstood trends of our time -- peers replacing parents in the lives of
our children.
Dr. Neufeld has dubbed this phenomenon peer orientation, which refers to the tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction: for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behavior. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; its effects are painfully evident in the context of teenage gangs and criminal activity, in tragedies such as in ...

When students in an archaeology field school at Flagler College first started digging, instructor Bill Locascio told them an archaeological truth, "It's not what you find, it's what you find out."
They still started out eager to find things but now "they've started to want to find things out about what they're finding," Locascio said.
Somewhere around the area stretching from the Fountain of Youth to the Mission of Nombre de Dios, Kathleen Deagan hopes to find the fort built by Pedro Menendez de Aviles after he landed here in 1565.
Menendez's fort wasn't the type with towers and crenellations, but rather one made of the materials at hand.
"The Spanish were only here eight months. Menendez was hardly here himself," Deagan said. "We just want to know what the deal is."
Every morning for the past week, St. Augustine city archaeologist Carl Halbirt and a handful of volunteers worked in the cold to uncover what may be a very big part of St. Augustine's colonial history.
St. Augustine ought to post a sign: Dig and expect history.
For the about-to-open St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum on Castillo Drive, putting in a wheelchair ramp and a wall turned up artifacts that date to the city's British Period in the mid-1700s, and possibly earlier.
"This is everyday life in St. Augustine," said City Archaeologist Carl Halbirt of the discovery as he looked through artifacts uncovered by Step Back in Time, the contractors working on the museum scheduled to open Dec. 3.
Volunteers at a dig at the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park clustered around one of several excavation areas Tuesday morning to take a look at a wall of a mission period structure that is at least 300 years old.
"It's definitely a wall running through here," City Archaeologist Carl Halbirt said. That drew the volunteers away from sifting through buckets of oyster shells and dirt to take a look at the latest discovery at a dig that has been going on since late September.
When St Augustine officials decided to remove parking on what is probably one of the nation's oldest streets, it opened up an opportunity for the city's archaeology department to find out more about the history of the Oldest City.
What they found was solid evidence of a church dating from 1572 -- evidence of the location of the first parish church of St. Augustine.
It's the first physical evidence of Nuestra Senora de Los Remedios (Our Lady of the Remedies), according to City Archaeologist Carl Halbirt.
While other high school graduates are stocking up on microwaveable food and quarters for laundry days, Mike Jasper decided to spend his summer searching the St. Augustine sand.
Last August, Jasper, then 17 and a student at Nease High School, was one of the divers to find a foreign object under the sand nearly two miles off the St. Augustine Beach shore.
"It was just a blip on our sonar," he said. "Honestly, I thought it was a pile of trash."
When children want to know more about archaeology, Carl Halbirt suggests they create a trash pile.
He tells them to take the trash for one week and bury it in the backyard. He also tells them to make a list of what they did that day or week. Then a year later, he says to dig it up and see how the week's activities are reflected in the trash pit.
Inside the old Monson Motel on Avenida Menendez with the air conditioning running.
When Melissa Dezendorf first worked for City Archaeologist Carl Halbirt, the city was getting the rare opportunity to explore the ground under the Monson Motel (now the Hilton Historic Bayfront St. Augustine).
Because the Monson was still in operation, city archaeologists dug inside motel units using a jackhammer to break through the flooring.
Say "sherd" (rhymes with herd) when talking about Native American pottery pieces. Say "shard" (rhymes with hard) when talking about European pottery.
When you say Colonial Period in St. Augustine, you're referring to the time between 1565 and 1821 when either the Spanish were here (twice) or the British (1763-1783). Basically, it's the time before the American takeover in 1821.
Shovel pits are the down-and-dirty way to do a quick survey for artifacts. No pun intended.
Source: Carl Halbirt, City of St. Augustine archaeologist
Dig a hole in St. Augustine and chances are you will uncover history.
In 1987, St. Augustine officials got serious about saving the heritage below the surface and drafted an archaeology preservation ordinance. In 1988, they hired Carl Halbirt as city archaeologist.

The bond for Alexander Fazzino, charged with first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Emily Fazzino, was reduced Wednesday from $1.5 million down to $500,000 by District Court Judge Michael Moon.
The defendant had previously filed an application for bond review, through his attorney, for the bond reduction, citing Fazzino's lack of criminal history, strong family support, the fact that he has been aware of the investigation that lead to his arrest for more than one year and as he does not have means to pay the $1.5 million bond.
The investigation referred to began shortly after Emily Fazzino's death on Jan. 29.
The couple was in the midst of a divorce when Emily died. Fazzino had called 911 stating that his wife was attempting to kill herself by drowning herself in the bathtub, an affidavit filed in the case by DCI Special Agent Don Schnitker claimed. When police responded, they found Emily pale, unresponsive and cold to the touch. Efforts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful.
Shortly after her death, Alexander Fazzino moved to Lee's Summit, Mo., with the couple's children.
The bond review hearing was held April 22, with the motion being filed by Judge Moon on April 24. A trial date has not yet been scheduled.
If convicted of first-degree murder – a Class A felony – Fazzino will face life in prison.

Area World War II veterans are preparing to head to the nation's capital to see the monument built in their honor.
It's all a part of Wiregrass Honor Flight.
The program flies World War II vets from the Wiregrass to Washington D.C. for a day, free of charge.
They check out landmarks like the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Arlington National Cemetery.
Saturday, the veterans and their guardians went through orientation and asked any last minute questions.
There are two upcoming honor flights: one next Saturday and another following Saturday.
"Well I'm pretty excited about that, I've never been to Washington. Well I've never seen it before and I've just been wondering about it ever since they built it," says WWII veteran Clay McDonald.
There are still a couple of seats left for veterans hoping to go on the honor flight.

Research Institution:
AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I research project addresses the critical problems of tracking and monitoring firefighters or other first responders inside structures. Whereas many key components of first responder systems such as GPS fail indoors or require an overwhelming number of access points to obtain accurate information, this system requires only a base station that can be quickly set up outside of a building. The system initiates a mesh network to communicate data amongst responders, as well as between the responders and the command post outside the structure, which extends the range of the base station by allowing data to be relayed through another team member if a responder goes out of range. The research project will focus on improving tracking algorithms such that complex motions can be recognized and accurately tracked. In addition to improvements will be made to the command center and first responder interface, and tests will be carried out within the user community. This research has a broad impact on the safety of first responders. As an example, firefighting is one of the most dangerous jobs with a loss rate of over 95 firefighters annually over the last decade. Some of these deaths could have been prevented if only the firefighter's distressed condition and exact position were known. This technology will have a broad impact on pin pointing firefighters and other first responders that serve society during crises and natural hazards.

12 college football stadiums that should be on your bucket list
In the college football world, there are some stadiums that stand above the others.
The 2015 season has been full of big-time venues for the Utes and Cougars.
From the dotting of the "I" at Ohio State to the Tournament of Roses at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., there are unforgettable experiences at these stadiums.
Which stadium experiences should go on the bucket list of college football fans?
Here's a look at 13 of them:

Having worked at Notre Dame and attended several football games, I must say that it would be hard to duplicate the spirit, loyalty, and spirit associated with playing football in Notre Dames stadium. You have to be there to appreciate the experience. Notre Dame is a class act University.

Been to six of the stadiums on the list... Enjoyed Notre Dame the most... Hate
Texas A&M but the crowd, chants, etc... out of this world!
Other favorites: Neyland (Tenn) and for personal reasons Gaylord Family (OU). Another older stadium, but fun crowd is Doak Campbell (Florida St) When they get going that chant they do is awesome.

So. Cal Reader.... to your question, the Coliseum is hurt by the very thing you
cited... it is a general sports venue where the field is set off by a track and
is longer then most standiums putting fans further from the action. Historic,
yes. Beautiful, yes. Good (or Great) for football - no. My favorite is
Michigan followed by Notre Dame.
Both the Utah and Y stadiums are in great settings (the view around them), but as far a great football venues, particularly Edwards is the most in need up updating. Great view, venue itself lacks.

@So Cal Reader. As far as I am concerned the Coliseum should definitely be on
the list At various times it has been the home of both USC, UCLA plus the Los
Angeles Rams, Raiders, Chargers, home of the first Super Bowl and home to the
Los Angeles Dodgers when they came west'
The Utah stadiums are nor worthy of the list.

The 80 Percenter
Yvon Chouinard, the founder at the clothing company Patagonia, talks about the concept of the "80 percenter" in his book, "Let My People Go Surfing." I first read Yvon's quote in an article by web designer, Dan Cederholm, and I immediately identified with this concept. Yvon says:
"I've always thought of myself as an 80 percenter. I like to throw myself passionately into a sport or activity until I reach about an 80 percent proficiency level. To go beyond that requires an obsession that doesn't appeal to me."
This is an accurate description of the generalist career path in web design. Getting to 80 percent proficiency with the various disciplines in web design is absolutely enough to have a working knowledge of that skill. The remaining 20 percent is often so specialized that the focus needed to acquire that knowledge (often at the expense of learning other skills and becoming an 80 percenter in additional areas) is often unnecessary in the scope of a web professional's normal day-to-day work. That does not mean that this specialized knowledge is never needed. There are certainly instances that require that level of specialization, and these are the instances when a specialist is needed.
The Specialist
Any of the various branches and disciplines in web design lend themselves to specialization, but as the quote from Yvon Chouinard states, the obsession required to achieve this knowledge and rise above that 80 percent proficiency level is substantial. To achieve this, other skills must typically be neglected in favor of the specialization. This means that instead of having a working knowledge in multiple areas, a specialist is keenly focused on being an expert in their specific area. This can be incredibly important in those instances where "working knowledge" is not enough to get the job done.
Choose Your Path
There are benefits and drawbacks to each of these career paths. The generalist's well rounded knowledge base makes them more marketable in many ways. For agencies and teams that require employees to wear multiple hats, a generalist will be who they are looking for.
If an agency has a special focus in on particular area, however, then a generalist's knowledge may not be sufficient. In these instances, a specialist will be required for the position that the agency is looking to fill, and since there are far more generalists in the web industry than specialists, when a specialist is called for, these skills can make that person highly desirable.
Ultimately, choosing between a generalist and a specialist is not only about what it does to your marketability; it is also about what appeals to you on a personal level. Many web professionals enjoy the ability to be involved in multiple areas of a project. Others like the specialization of one area in which they are passionate about. In the end, the web design industry needs both generalists and specialists, so which ever path you choose is one that will be step towards a successful web design career.

Hi guys,
I'm a newbie to coding (HTML, CSS basics) and websites in general but ive been using wordpress for a couple months now and i'm currently looking to make some adjustments to a friends shop page. well...how my products show in general.
Currently the product name overlaps the product image, is there anyway to change this? and if so - how? which files do i need to modify? some descriptive help would be much appreciated thank you!
The website we're talking about specifically is http://www.buyflowersnow.com.au/shop i want the names of the products to be displayed below the product image...rather than over the top.
if any additional info is needed don't hesitate to ask. I've tried looking through the php files but i haven't had much to do with php. I've located some css files in the "assets" folder, but i don't think i've found anything relating to the display of product thumbnails in the catalog.
ill express the fact that i'm happy with the individual product display. i would just like the product names to appear underneath the image on the catalog list.

For $35 this one video will be an awakening for you and probably do more to help assist you in your quest to decide if carrying a gun is for you.
Judicious Use of Deadly Force is a two hour video from world renowned author and instructor Massad Ayoob.
Ayoob is arguably one of the very finest authorities on civilian use of lethal force. He is a , lethal force trainer and accomplished author on the topic of deadly force, and is a former police captain. His accomplishments as an expert witness at trial has earned him a reputation of one that his testimony is the one you need on your side.
The video I linked for you is a two hour lecture that comes straight out of his 40 hour LFI-I course, and now presently his MAG-40 course, and it goes beyond his critically acclaimed book In The Gravest Extreme, which is by many, considered to be the one book which belongs in everyone's library on self defense.
I highly recommend that as a starting point for both you and your wife, you invest in the video Judicious Use of Deadly Force. I can practically guarantee, you will not be disappointed. In fact, if you purchase the DVD version and do not like it, I will purchase it from you. My copy is in VHS because DVD's wasn't even a format when I bought my copy.
Give that a shot, and I'm confident you will learn more about how to apply lethal force and under what circumstances it is warranted.
It's all about having the proper knowledge, my friend, and this video will not only put you at ease, but provide enough knowledge to want to learn more.
Good luck. As we all grow older in this dangerous world, I feel confidant in knowing the fact that I carry a gun will help level the playing field should I ever find myself facing the gravest extreme. There are no guarantee's... But I feel confident my training and knowledge base will help tilt the odds in my favor.
You can purchase many of Ayoob's books here at Amazon, or through video link I provided at the top.
Good luck.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
I suppose at least a few illustrative "war stories" are appropriate here - and living in south Florida, there's no shortage of them, and they're REAL. Some are recorded on video and have appeared on the local evening news. Some are what our men and women in blue have pieced together from reliable sources.
First story: Shown in store-recorded video on the evening news. These two guys walk into a convenience store at night, hold the clerk at gunpoint demanding his cash, and then gratuitously shoot him to death. They check the rear of the store and find another employee, and they bring him to the front of the store, force him to kneel, and then shoot him to death. They flee and are not apprehended.
Second story: Shown in store-recorded video on the evening news: This guy walks into a convenience store brandishing a gun and demands that the clerk give him the cash in the till. To make his point, the perpetrator fires his gun on one side of the clerk and then the other. At that point, the clerk reaches under the counter, pulls out a handgun, and shoots the perp, at a distance of about two feet, in the abdomen. The perp was obviously not expecting such rude treatment. He ran to one end of the store doubled up, then he ran doubled up in the other direction out the door. His body was found by law enforcement in the parking lot. They hear the story, see the video, and send the clerk home, as this is a clear case of self-defense.
Third story: Sorry, no video here. This guy goes to a convenience store at night and makes a purchase. As he leaves the store, he's approached by a small group of males with guns. They tell him the want his money. He gets into his car and drives away. They also have a car and pursue him - and eventually corner him. He has nowhere to run, and he is unarmed. They shoot him to death. The perps are not apprehended.
Fourth story: This will be the last - although it needn't be, because there are others. No video here either. A man driving a car is boxed in by another car. One of the persons in the car shoots at him. He has a gun. He shoots back, wounding one. The other one drives the car with the wounded perpetrator to a hospital, where the wounded perp dies and his accomplice is arrested. The person who [most fortunately] had a gun is not a victim. He survives without injury, and is not charged with any offense by law enforcement.
Recently, we've had a rash of bump and rob cases. It appears that some are copycat perpetrators. It works like this: At night, the victim car is deliberately rear ended by the perpetrator car. The victim gets out of the car to view the damage. The perps shoot the victim to death and - sometimes, but not in every case - take the cash of the victim.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, speaking for myself, I will not serve my life up to some piece of excrement so that I will not mistakenly shoot him and risk court time. With all of its flaws, and with all of its variations from state to state - and even from court to court within the same state - the justice system is what we have. Most fortunately for those of us who choose readiness to defend ourselves and our families, there is NRA and other organizations who know many experts and many defense attornies of innocent victims who have defended themselves with a firearm.
Many years ago - I think about forty years ago - a convicted cold blooded murderer escaped from his place of incarceration - THREE TIMES!!! He held me responsible in fair measure for his conviction and incarceration, and each time he escaped, my boys in blue would call me and let me know. I then took to carrying a Beretta .380 which I happened to have as a keepsake from a family member who'd served in WWII. I still have it and no intention of parting with it, although my defense weapon of choice now is something else. There was no way that I was ready to trade my life for his. When he was apprehended, I was called, and returned the Beretta to a safe place.
Now I live in a world and environment in which people's homes and businesses are brazenly and forcibly entered by thugs at night, sometimes in the early morning, while the occupants are inside -where a night time trip to a convenience store can result in senseless death of an innocent person - where merely driving a car after dark can result in death by murder. Now I don't wait for any warning from law enforcement personnel. I CARRY - and I am a better person for accepting the responsibility for protecting me and mine. The community is a better AND SAFER place for all the good men and women who do the same.
Can mistakes be made? Of course, anything is possible. There are no guarantees, you can be negligent and kill someone with your car. But a good citizen of reasonable judgment and concern, who is armed and trained, is a good person whom the community of like minded people will rally behind.
Good luck with whatever decision you make. You already have shown that you are responsible and thoughtful citizen.
statistics ( gotta love numbers--figures lie and lier's figure) are that you may carry all your adult life and if, IF you have situational awareness than you will have avoided numerous potential events on a yearly basis: i did not park there cause the light was out and i was the last car in line and..... or the wife and i decided against that mall entrance cause the kids at the bus stop were rowdy and... so once or twice a year nothing happens other than you clean the gun when you change the clocks and fire a box when you get invited ti a friends range.
OK, a couple of times in the past 10 years some one or two youth made me uncomfortable but ii had my gun and they did not smell fear on me--they went away.
perhaps, after all it does happen, perhaps you are one of the 1 in 10,000 who over 40 + years actually had someone say 'gimme or...' and he was more than 10 feet away and you reached in your pocket and took out that little j-frame...and it surprised the hell out of you that the kid could run away so fast. all the time you carried the gun and you woundered...and you feel good about it now i bet.
could be you are the 1 in 100,000 and he though you weak and moved in despite the gun; his bad. but on your hands is not his blood; that belongs to him--he made the choice to move on you: he paid the price for his life style. today, you perhaps do not feel so good. soon though you will. your sub-conscious will put things in place and show you that you did right. so will the courts.
You plug 'em, I plant 'em

Lack of preparation on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on mine
Unless you're comfortable carrying, and absolutely positive that you would shoot to save you're life or the life of a loved one, don't carry a gun. If it's the judicial part that concerns you most, move to Arizona.

Having just read a 120+ post thread that was closed in less than 24 hours since it started, I passed on reading past post 20 here.
To the OP...
If you are a level headed individual, a law abiding citizen, and generally smart enough to avoid potential bad situations...In the hopefully unlikely event that you will have to use your firearm, "Cut and Dried" will not be a problem for you. Know your local and state laws on the matter. Understand when the tipping point is reached for use of deadly force (disparity of force, jeopardy, means, opportunity, imminent danger of severe injury or death, etc...), and you will be just fine in the eyes of the law.

Carrying a weapon is a personal decision which is one that only you can make.
When I came home from Vietnam, I was not comfortable without a weapon. I obtained my CCW and have had a gun ever since.When I went outside, my gun came with me. When I was home, it was locked in the safe. Over the years I became a collector and had a sizable collection, again when I was home, all guns were in the safe. And I became complacent over time, sometimes not bothering to take a gun out of the safe and went out unarmed.
One day, while in my high rise Condo, three armed intruders entered my apartment. When I heard the door open I thought it may have been a maintenance guy so I left my home office and walked down the hallway towards the front door. I surprised them as much as they surprised me. They opened fire at me. I tore off down the hallway, back into the office and fell on the floor playing dead. I had been hit three times. They quickly cleaned out my condo of high end electronics and some very expensive, uninsured art work. When I was sure they were gone, I crawled to the telephone which had been knocked to the floor and dialed 9-1-1. I was very lucky that I survived without serious injury to major organs or bones. I never would have believed that a human could lose that much blood and still live.
The result of all this is that I now never ever leave the house without a gun. I always have a gun with me inside my home except when I am in the shower. At other times, my gun is right next to me and there are guns hidden in every room of my house. Had I had a gun that day, I probably would not have come that close to dying and I would not have suffered a huge financial loss as I took that day. In my discussions with the detectives over the course of several weeks, everyone of them told me that it would have made them feel so much better if I had had my gun to protect myself and I was very lucky to have lived thru the ordeal. If I had a gun, a few shots may have been exchanged but the bad guys would most likely would have fled and there is certainly no DA that would level charges against a citizen protecting himself in his own home.

If I HAD to carry openly any more, I would probably NOT. However, carrying concealed is sort of like being on leave and wearing civvies: YOU know who you are, but others don't. I'm getting older and can't do what I did before and older guys are often targets for the scum. I feel MUCH better now knowing that I can still defend myself and my family from the evil that is all around us. Good luck with your decision and thanks for all of your service! Denny
I may be the only person to post this sentiment, but after taking the required course for my license to carry, I was far more motivated to carry simply be virtue of hearing the mentality of many of my classmates. Knowing that a number of characters like I sat and heard talk about the situations they would draw in, I fully came to realize that there are untold numbers of folks with mental processes totally out of kilter with the law and reality. And many of them have guns, and are walking around me every day. If the bonafide bad guys don't pick you, it may still come to pass that you'll be stuck on the wrong side of something with another legal cc'er who has a tenuous grasp on reality to start with.
I thought long and hard before getting my license, and if it surely does weigh on my mind, as it should. Your reasoning is very admirable and ideally, everyone who carries would be as well thought out as you are, OP.
This kind of thread is exactly why I enjoy DC so much. There is truly a wealth of knowledge here. LEO's current and former, Federal agents, Military both active and retired, Doctors, Lawyers, and yes probably even Indian Chiefs, as well as some old farts like myself that have been around guns fifty years or more. To the OP, only you can make the decision you are facing, I think most of us here have given long and serious thought to the things you brought up in your post. I hope so anyway. You have been given some great advise by the members here. In the end, gleen all you can from as many as you can. Do your best to make as informed a decision as possible. I guess the best way to sum it up is how the lawyers put it, "what would a wise and prudent man do".
and oh yea...Welcome to the forum and Thank you Sir for your service to our Country!
"The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it".

I've read every post to this thread which I'm responsible for starting. What a great group of people. Thank you. I'm sure in the end I will make the decision which best suits our situation. The collective knowledge of the people here is incredible.
I'll just give you a simple one ;
The older you get, the more sympathy you are likely to get from any jury for the need of protection and not being seen as a cowboy or aggressor, and DA's know that and and are less likely to charge an older person.
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers ---
Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
I see it as the balance between stress and comfort. There is a certain amount of stress in having the huge responsibility of lethal force. Does it outweigh the comfort you have in carrying? Does the stress of facing the threats of daily life without carrying outweigh the stress of carrying? Evaluate why you carry and determine if one outweighs the other. Introspect is as rare a quality as good judgement...and you appear to have both. I think you would be fine.
The people that concern me are the ones who don't know what they don't know. The ones who post threads on here like, "I almost drew on a guy for..." and it was something that was so ridiculous it is scary. And 9 pages of member posts trying to explain to them why it wasn't justifiable and they still don't get it. You don't appear to be one of those people.

beautiful image and model
raaaah you're the most attractive man in here
Wow, definitely one of the best self-portraits I've ever seen, amazingly gorgeous and rough. It seems people often try to make their self-portraits smoother and add some extra - not pretty sure what, but always something - in them to look more perfect or give a feeling of intelligence, divinity or whatnot, but this one doesn't need any of those adds, this is more perfect in ways they can never achieve, as it is now. Thank you for showing this to us, this really inspires me and drew a big smile on my face; at last someone who has guts to be different!
State of the art!
awesome photo! the colours are so grimey, it's great!!
This is pretty incredible.
Stunning shot!
Genial! Gefaved
Awesome picture!
excellent job!
I love the lighting in this one... amazing

Quick GuideBlood Sugar Swings: Tips for Managing Diabetes & Glucose Levels
What is hypoglycemia?
Hypoglycemia is the clinical syndrome that results from low blood sugar. The symptoms of hypoglycemia can vary from person to person, as can the severity. Classically, hypoglycemia is diagnosed by a low blood sugar with symptoms that resolve when the sugar level returns to the normal range. The medical term for blood sugar is blood glucose.
Who is at risk for hypoglycemia?
While people who do not have any metabolic problems can complain of symptoms suggestive of low blood sugar, true hypoglycemia usually occurs in people being treated for diabetes (type 1 and type 2). Individuals with pre-diabetes who have insulin resistance can also have low blood sugars on occasion if their high circulating insulin levels are further challenged by a prolonged period of fasting. There are other rare causes for hypoglycemia, such as insulin producing tumors (insulinomas) and certain medications. These uncommon causes of hypoglycemia will not be discussed in this article, which will primarily focus on the hypoglycemia occurring with diabetes mellitus and its treatment.
Despite advances in the treatment of diabetes, hypoglycemic episodes are often the limiting factor in achieving optimal blood sugar control, because many medications that are effective in treating diabetes carry the risk of lowering the blood sugar level too much, causing symptoms of hypoglycemia. In large scale studies looking at tight control in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, low blood sugars occurred more often in the patients who were managed most intensively. This is important for patients and physicians to recognize, especially as the goal for treating patients with diabetes becomes tighter control of blood sugar.

Special traffic enforcement efforts paid off New Year's Eve night.
The Shawnee County Jail reports eight people booked in for suspicion of driving under the influence.
Topeka Police expected to release further details of their enforcement efforts Friday. TPD planned to have extra officers working voluntary overtime to target impaired drivers.
Many people avoided driving by taking advantage of a free cab ride home.
Topeka's Yellow Cab teamed up with AAA Kansas and Mothers Against Drunk Driving for the "Care Cab" program in Shawnee County. They report giving 112 rides to New Year's Eve partygoers.
Briggs Auto Group also sponsored its "Tab for the Cab" program in Topeka, Manhattan and Junction City.

Show transcribed image text In the circuit below C1 = C2 = 1 mF and R1 = R3 = 1 kOhm. If the transfer function H(s) = Vout(s)/Vs(s) = H1(s)H2(s) = -1/s + 4 times -1/s + 2, We assume that H1(s) = -1/s + 4 corresponds to the first stage (first op amp circuit). Find the necessary values for R2 and R4 (in Ohm) respectively. Then determine the impulse and step responses. The impulse response is the response due to an impulse function input Assuming zero initial conditions; the step response is the response to a step function input assumine zero initial conditions. Compute H1(s) = V1(s)Vin(s), H2(s) = V (s)V1(s), and H(s) = H1(s)H2(s) = Vout(s)/Vin(s) assuming that c1 = 1 mF, R1 = 1 kOhm, c2 = 1 mF, R2 = 10 kOhm, R3 = 2 k Ohm, c3 = 0.5 mF, c4 = 0.05 mF, and R4 = 200 kOhm. The point here it to solve two simple problems before solving the more complex problem of finding the transfer function of the cascaded network. After finding the transfer function compute the impulse and step responses.

Atlantean Tattoo: It starts right under her pointer finger on her right hand and makes several twirls down her finger. The tattoo makes a straight line from her knuckle down her forearm stopping at the place where her arm bends.
Physical: Delta's hair is the main topic of conversation when she interacts with new people. On the right side her hair it is shaven down to little to no hair but the hairs that do show are dyed a dark purple almost black. The rest is styled in a comb over fashion so that it all lies on the right side of her head. This mask most of the right side of her face until Del gets fed up with it and moves it out the way. Her regular, black hair is braided into many individual braids, which end in a bead. The colors of the bead depend on the section of the hair, the front is red, the middle is orange, and the back is yellow. If she's really feeling up to it she may change the beads but it's a real time consuming commitment. A single, golden hoop pierces her right eyebrow giving her an edgier look. Two other piercing makes themselves home in her lip and nose. Her lip piercing is located on the right corner of her mouth it is a silver hoop but at the center is a small ball. Rarely seen but still there is a small, butterfly shaped nose ring on the left side of her noise. It is rarely seen because it makes Del's nose itch like crazy so she leaves it out most of the time. Delta's eyes are a shunning shade of green that could rival the beauty of the ocean. Typically people dislike looking her right in the eyes for this fact alone as if she could possibly peer into their soul. Del's complexion is a bit light than a regular, chocolate bar.
Clothing: Delta wears a black tank top that is hidden underneath a black, worn, leather jacket. Several of the pockets are missing zippers so they're open just a bit revealing the contents within. A pair of black gloves the one's that have the grips on them. A plain, black lanyard hangs from her neck with a set of keys attached to the end. One key is silver with spots of pink where it had once been painted and the other was just gold with Delta's name engraved into it. Fitting nicely are her newly "purchased" skinny jeans, which of course are black. To finish off this daring outfit is a pair of five-inch black heels. With these heels she is easily one of the tallest girls in the room. She keeps two knifes strapped to her hip, both on her left side.
Personality: There's no doubt in the world that Delta's very confident in herself because she knows that's the only person she can rely on is herself. Her development in her abilities, the fights she's been in, and thriving on her own has lead her to be this confident and inflated ego. This level of confidence has lead her to be slightly cocky, fearless even. Delta can be a little too much to handle at times because she's a bit reckless. Somehow she has gotten in her head that she can never lose and she's nearly invincible. This leads to her being fearless as she is willing to take on any obstacle and any fight to prove to herself and to others that she's capable. Those who she sees as weak she distances herself from in a hope that she doesn't succumb to their lower standards of surviving. She's more than a little full of herself, which is too be expected in her case. Delta also believes that she can handle everything on her own. She'd rather work all by herself than deal with a team because they would only slow her down. As an independent person she knows that at the end of the day the only person you have and can count on is yourself.
Along with those traits Delta is aggressive and passionate in almost everything that she does. When it comes down to a fight she is willing to play dirty if that means that she will win, even though she knows she'll win anyway. She also has no problems starting a physical fight because Delta didn't like what the other person had to say. Especially when Delta doesn't get her way that's when her aggression really starts to boil over. When she gets her mind focused on something she becomes very much involved in it and doesn't derail from the path that's set before her. There is nothing wrong with deceiving people to her if that gets her to her goal sooner or it's just for fun, Delta will do it. It's often hard for her to follow orders down to the specifics because she has her own, albeit reckless, way of doing things. As long as she gets the job done that's all that matters to her.
Delta doesn't really have good social skills and because of this people thinks she rude. She tends to cut people off mid-sentence to say what she needs to say. Also, she has a tendency to yell at people a lot. It's not always out of anger but when it is she tends to go overboard. Delta is a very curious individual and tends to ask questions that might not be appropriate in a given situation but she'll do it regardless. One thing thing she hates is silence, especially awkward silence, so if she's the only one talking that's fine by her but good luck getting her to shut up. When it comes to dealing with her anger and emotions that go with it she's never very good at handling them. Another thing she takes pride in is her ability to start an argument and to carry that argument on for the sake of her own enjoyment. If Delta's wrong, she's wrong but she won't admit that she's wrong instead she'll twist it to her advantage. Delta tends to lash out those nearest and doesn't seem to care about the possible consequences that might come to her. This is why she doesn't have any friends, other people seem to be off-put by her attitude and personality, which is fine to Delta.
History: When Delta was a small girl her family moved to Poland from the United States to avoid something. She was never given an exact reason why they had to flee from their cozy home in the middle of the night. Her parents tended to be very secretive as if they were protecting their daughters from what they knew. Their arrival in Europe was a big hassle but one that Delta had long since forgotten except the memory of her sleeping on airport seats. Her sister, Diane, was much younger than her as she had been a newborn at the time while Delta was seven. Growing up in Poland was a strange experience, as she never really left her three-bedroom apartment. She almost never got the chance to get a formal education but if you could count her father's lessons in math. This made her envious of the kid's she would see outside her window heading to school. Sometimes she would carry a bag around to pretend she was off to school. Her parents always told her to knock it off but that never stopped her. Delta never knew her parent's occupation only that they disappeared at various hours of the day for days at a time. This left her to take care of her infant sister and grow up faster than a child should.
On occasions she would be granted permission to visit her maternal grandparents who had lived in Poland their entire lives. Delta didn't speak a lick of Polish and they knew English but they didn't bother to speak it. This didn't stop a strong bond from forming, as Delta would beg her grandparents to let her live with them. Eventually her wishes came true when her parents told her they had to return to The States and had to leave her here. They took her sister with them and they never explained why they couldn't take her. To lighten her sadness her grandparents surprised her with a real backpack with actual school supplies. Tears streamed down her face as her grandparents told her she would be going to an actual school. Though, it was a smaller school than most and it was for non-native Polish children.
Fights. Delta wasn't use to sharing with other kids and it had never been one of her strong points. Her first physical fight came two days after she was officially attending classes. When a boy grabbed her extra piece of paper to use for a drawing. After politely asking for it back and being rejected Delta took matters into her own hands. At this age she was bigger than most of the other kids and easily overpowered them. She shoved him out of his chair, kicked his chair, and then kicked him multiple times in the side. After the teacher intervened by restraining Delta to a chair while his assistant checked on the young boy. Upon closer inspection by a doctor it was determined that the kid had several bruised ribs and was in a lot of pain. No one wanted Delta to return to class for a while, not even her grandparents. She spent her break time in her grandparent's apartment moping around and sitting on the windowsill staring out at the world. Which is where she sat as she learned about her parent's death or murder depending on what you wanted to call it. Delta preferred murder because she just liked the word better than death. Her sister's body wasn't found with her parents meaning that either a) she is still alive or b) they killed her offsite. As with all news it eventually spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood where she lived. Her parent's death was big news, as their murders to this day have never been solved.
Delta returned to her class a month later to learn that the boy she had injured had dropped from that class the day before. She sat in class fuming with anger, which lead to a fight, how typical. This time it was some girl who kept badgering her about the death of her parents. After being ignored by Delta she delivered, "You know, no one really cares about your parent's death, it's just that they're bored. And they mustn't have cared about you as you're still here. What. A. Loser" with extreme malice. Needless to say, Delta unleashed her rage with her fist and they did the action this time. The two girls were quickly separated and Delta was never invited back to another class, which was perfectly fine with her. Not so much with her grandparents, at the age of eight she had gotten into two fights within the span of two months. Fed up with her behavior they sent her to a boot camp/reform school where she spent the next ten years. When it was summer or break she would stay at her grandparent's apartment. Delta had learned to control her temper for the time being but that didn't stop her fighting. Her name was feared whenever it was mentioned, no one dare cross her path unscathed. She graduated from boot camp at the age of eighteen but even then her grandparents weren't ready to have her living in the house. They got her her own apartment that was a block away.
The mark came while she was taking a bubble bath in the middle of the night. Delta could never fall asleep so she tended to take bathes to help relax her. The burning sensation came and went; she didn't know anything had actually changed about her into she rose from the tub. Her one of her arms had become diamond-like and she could see through it which freaked her out. Luckily she lived by herself and didn't have to worry about someone else seeing her like this. For the next couple of days her arms remained like that until she was knocked unconscious and it went away. All of this came to a shock to her as she heard on the news and learned about the Atlantean race. Delta had already began working on perfecting her transformation in case she ever needed to use it.
Del has an ability that is quite strange to her she can crystallize her skin into an extremely durable, diamond-like material. Through experimentation she has learn that she is not affected by fire on the places she has turned. She has not learned how to crystalize her whole body yet just bits and pieces. Making more than two of her body parts (two arms, two legs, arm and a leg) causes her to become faint and ultimately lose the crystallization. Despite her many attempts she has not been able to crystallization anything on her face, not even an ear. She not sure if this has to do with a fear she has of accidentally suffocating herself.
When in this "form" her mobility isn't affected it isn't like her skin has diamond on top of it. The opaque, green tinted, diamond material is her skin and it keeps its same weight so it doesn't burden Del too much. It does hurt if she constantly shifts from her normal skin to the crystalize skin. If it is destroyed in this form it is also destroyed in her normal form. This ability makes her more of a defensive type person because of its durability. The true strength of it is unknown but it can definitely leave a broken hand if it's punched. Though, Delta's not much of a defensive fight so she'll swing her arms at people to hit them with the hard material. Her ability has the potential to be able to not just crystalize her entire body but anything she touches. This is not a for sure thing as Del is just in the beginning of even mastering her crystallization.

I have been coming here for about 5 years now, and i will always love this place. This was the very first mountain i learned how to ski on and is highly recommended for intermediate skiiers. Probably the most friendliest service i have ever had at a mountain. Everyone from Rentals, Ski Patrols, Lift Operators, and food Service is all filled with friendly people. The Main lift (berkshire express) is very fast. It does tent to get crowded, but the line moves very quickly.
Bad things- First : The terrain park is horiffic. I am not the kind of skiier that likes terrain parks, but DO NOT come here if you are obsessed with them because you will not be satisfied. I was there today, and their idea of a terrain park is to take a piece of long, rectangular block of wood, and lay it in the snow and call it a "rail". And to pile a bunch of snow verticly in a straight line, and call it a "jump". I'm not kidding, If your coming down the "180" trail, there will be a terrain park to your right, and thats exactly what the terrain park looks like. No joke.
Second bad thing: ice, ice, ice, ice, and more ice. Out of all the resorts i have visited over the years, Jiminy peak has the worst conditionds ever. Some of the terrain is so icey, that its un-skiiable. literally. And the gromming is horrendous. However, this isn't stopping me from coming back here. i still, and always will love this place

Puey Ungphakorn
Puey Ungphakorn, MBE (Thai: ป๋วย อึ๊งภากรณ์, rtgs: Puai Uengphakon; IPA: [pǔaj ʔɯ́ŋ.pʰāː.kɔ̄ːn]; Chinese: 黃培謙; pinyin: Huáng Péiqiān;[1] 9 March 1916 – 28 July 1999) was a Thai bureaucrat who played a central role in the shaping of Thailand's economic development and in the strengthening of its system of higher education. Puey was the Governor of the (Central) Bank of Thailand (BOT) for 12 years, a Dean of the Faculty of Economics, and also a rector of Thammasat University in Bangkok. Puey was a member of the Free Thai Movement during World War II. He was a Magsaysay Award winner in the field of government service in 1965.
Puey is the author of The Quality of Life of a South-East Asian: A Chronicle of Hope from Womb to Tomb or later known as From Womb to Tomb, which is still one of the most influential writings about social security in Thailand.
Early years[edit]
Puey was born the fourth child of an immigrant Chinese fishmonger and a second generation Thai-Chinese mother, with ancestry from Raoping.[2] In 1934 he was among the first group of students to enrol at the newly opened Thammasat University, from which he graduated in 1937. After having briefly worked as a translator, Puey earned a government scholarship to study economics at the London School of Economics in 1938.
Following the outbreak of the Pacific War in December 1941, Puey joined the Free Thai Movement in Britain, and having undergone vigorous training with the Special Operations Executive, parachuted into northern Thailand in late-1944. He was captured almost immediately, and remained technically a prisoner of war until the Japanese surrender in September 1945, though he in fact made contact with Free Thai members of the Thai police and was able to work with them from his jail cell.
After the war, Puey was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel in the British forces and was awarded an MBE. He resumed his studies, and in 1949 received one of Thailand's first PhD's in economics from the London School of Economics.
BOT governor[edit]
When he became Governor of the Bank of Thailand, Puey quickly attracted the attention of international agencies, foreign governments, and the international financial community for the integrity of his financial planning and management. His international stature was recognised ceremoniously in 1964 when he became the first Thai to receive the Magsaysay Award for public service. Equally important, this international recognition gave him an influence with Field Marshals Sarit Thanarat, Thanom Kittikachorn, and their cohorts which far exceeded his bureaucratic position. They sought his aid and advice as a troubleshooter for Thailand's monetary interests, particularly in matters they had botched or in which they were suspected to have their own private interests, such as remedying Sarit's mishandling of Thailand's participation on an international tin council and preventing a kickback scandal over the foreign printing of Thailand's currency.
Academic career[edit]
In 1966 Puey became the dean of the Faculty of Economics at his alma mater, Thammasat University, where his work with the Rockefeller Foundation and with foreign scholars dramatically upgraded the training of Thailand's future technocrats. He also instituted a long-term research project on raising the productivity and economic level of Thai villagers. It was during this period that he was invited to serve as a visiting professor at both Cambridge and Princeton universities and was appointed to the governing boards of such organisations as the International Council for Educational Development, the East-West Center (EWC), the Asian Institute of Management, and the International Food Policy Research Institute.
Puey played an instrumental role in the establishment of the Bangkok-based Asian Institute of Technology (AIT),[3] previously the Graduate School of Engineering of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO)[4] in 1967. Dr Puey became the first chairperson of the AIT Board of Trustees from 1968 to 1973.
After the ousting of Thanom's regime in October 1973, Puey was catapulted into political prominence and, along with M.R. Kukrit Pramoj, was broadly promoted as one of the two major candidates for the post of prime minister in the elected government that would follow the palace-picked interim administration of Sanya Thammasak. However, after a great deal of self-examination, Puey disavowed all interest in such a candidacy and returned to Thammasat, where he was appointed rector. Puey's explanation was that when he had joined the Free Thai Movement he had taken an oath never to seek or accept political appointment until after reaching the age of retirement. Some have argued, however, that Puey's withdrawal was based upon his mature understanding of the nature of society and that he had accurately foreseen that the upcoming democratic period would be inherently unstable, dangerous, and short-lived.
Despite his service, honesty and international reputation, Puey was branded a communist and "destroyer of unity" by the political right of Thailand. Although he spoke out against the unending student demonstrations of 1975-76 as being both ineffective and self-destructive, and even denied his students any use of the Thammasat campus as a base for mounting public demonstrations, he was nevertheless assigned blame for their occurrence.
On the evening of the bloody 6 October 1976 Massacre, Puey resigned from his position as rector of Thammasat in protest against the bloodbath that had occurred that day on the university campus. Realising he was a marked man, Puey went to Don Mueang airport where he was met by a lynch mob. Only with the help of the Royal Thai Air Force Police, who had been instructed by King Bhumibol's privy council office to help him leave, did he evade death and get on a plane bound for London.[5]
While living abroad, Puey met with Thais and influential figures in several countries, including those in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Japan, and Australia to speak about the incident and to call for a peaceful transition to democracy in Thailand. In 1977, Puey gave testimonials before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs investigating human rights in Thailand following the incident of 6 October 1976 Massacre.
In September 1977, Puey suffered a haemorrhagic stroke and was confined to a hospital for three months. The illness left Puey with a speech impediment resulting in mumbling speech. He could walk by himself, but was unable to control his right hand. Puey died in London on 28 July 1999.[6]
Puey's status as a hero derives from several obvious, but special, features of his career and character. His most significant, if paradoxical, attribute was his willingness to work for the Thai bureaucratic establishment and yet maintain his moral independence, intellectual creativity, and sense of social responsibility. His capacity to strike a compromise between what was objectively possible and morally desirable was an extraordinary accomplishment. It had a particular impact on younger people, almost all of whose models have traditionally been either successful rogues who manipulate their social environment for their own advantage or martyrs who succumb to it.
Even more commendable was his deep sense of incorruptibility. Over the years, he held a variety of jobs and served on a number of commissions that, in terms of standard Thai corrupt practices, could have made him a very wealthy man. Further, Puey's incorruptibility was more than merely passive. As an economist he was keenly aware that official corruption was depriving the Thai treasury of inordinately large sums, and in public addresses and statements he would often include selections of thinly veiled, but cutting, poetic attacks against the specific acts of the very highest government officials.
Puey's career is also powerful evidence of how education—in contrast to wealth, political power, and connections—could be used to climb the Thai status ladder. In 2015 he was recognized by UNESCO for his high ethical standards.[7]
