Since the earliest days of the excise tax, we've been explaining to policymakers, the media, and anyone who would listen that the cost of health care coverage is driven by many factors other than the richness of the plan design. Geographic location is just one of the more obvious. As anyone who lives in New York City or San Francisco can tell you, some places are just more expensive than others. And cost-of-living is just one factor affecting prices in a given health care market – competition and variations in provider practices come into play as well. So you'd think we'd be pleased by the recent announcement, discussed in this Business Insurance article, that the administration is now proposing revisions to the excise tax to address cost variations by state. Unfortunately, it is not an adequate fix for the geographic cost differences. In its upcoming 2017 federal budget, the administration will propose that in any state where the average premium for "gold" coverage on the state's individual health insurance marketplace exceeds the Cadillac-tax threshold under current law, the tax trigger would be set at the level of that average gold premium. First, health care cost varies by market, not state. But in addition, premium rates for individual plans on the public health exchange are generally lower than in employer plans because the networks are smaller and have targeted the lowest-cost providers. Because of this, there may only be a few states where the average gold plan cost is over the tax threshold. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, to use the average cost of a gold plan as a trigger – a plan with an actuarial value of 80%, which is very typical of employer plans today – seems like a low-ball match for an adjustment to the threshold for a "Cadillac" plan.
We all know that many employers have concerns about the excise tax set to hit in 2020, so you might think that the excise tax reform bill introduced last month by Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., would be met with unanimous support among Cadillac tax opponents. Not so, says this Business Insurance article. Some worry that the legislation, which would exclude pretax contributions made to employees' FSAs and HSAs from excise tax calculations, might sidetrack congressional leaders from pursuing employers' overarching objective: full repeal. But Mercer's Geoff Manville disagrees, arguing that the business community is still very much aligned in its position that Congress should repeal the excise tax, not just one aspect of it. "The momentum is not on mending the excise tax, but repealing it," he said. Employers have some breathing room, though, ever since the two-year delay in imposing the tax, from 2018 to 2020. Even so, "in 2017, the odds of repeal go up," he added, since 300 House members have gone on record in favor of repeal.
New legislation introduced in the US House of Representatives would exempt employee contributions to health savings accounts (HSAs) and flexible spending accounts (FSAs) from the ACA's 40% excise tax on high-cost plans. While employers continue to push for a repeal of the tax, this is welcome news for those that have been considering eliminating health accounts to help mitigate excise tax risk. In comment letters sent to the IRS last May, Mercer and several other employer groups recommended these contributions be excluded from the excise tax calculation. This is definitely a piece of legislation to watch.
Employers wait with great anticipation for the passage of budget laws this week that include a two-year delay for the dreaded excise tax on high-cost health plans. Robert Pear points out the best news of all for employers -- many think this delay takes us one step closer to complete repeal of the tax. It definitely gives us some breathing room to prepare to avoid the tax should it be implemented – and more time to work for a repeal!

A $1.1 trillion budget deal released by congressional leaders yesterday could push the implementation of the Cadillac Tax back by two years, to 2020. Many see this delay as a stepping stone to a full repeal, although, as Mercer's Geoff Manville points out in this Business Insurance article, this postponement also "really clouds the outlook for implementation of the tax." A delay in the excise tax would be a welcome relief for employers, and especially the 29% of employers with at least one plan that was likely to exceed the tax threshold in 2018 (according to Mercer research). In addition, the proposal includes a request for further investigation into the benchmarks the reform law currently uses and whether the excise tax should be adjusted to take into account factors other than cost, such as age and gender factors, which has been a key argument among opponents of the Cadillac tax. Stayed tuned for further developments!
The Cadillac tax remains front and center in the ongoing health care debate as, last week, the US Senate approved legislation that would repeal the Cadillac tax, among other Affordable Care Act provisions. While it's predicted that the House of Representatives will also pass the bill, expectations are that President Obama will ultimately veto it. Even so, the approval of this legislation is an important step in the fight to repeal, or potentially amend, the excise tax (a two-year delay is now also a possibility). The Congressional Budget Office projects that this tax will raise about $87 billion dollars over ten years – about 25% of which will come from the tax itself, while 75% will come from income taxes on the higher wages that employers will pay their employees to make up for the reduction in health care benefit offerings. Still, as this USA Today article points out, this expectation may reflect a lack of understanding about how employers determine compensation; for instance, they may choose to enhance their retirement or life insurance benefits or reinvest their money, rather than increasing wages, which would mean a shortfall in the income tax revenue the White House is expecting.
Furthermore, as it's currently structured, the Cadillac tax may disproportionately affect "average" plans that happen to be offered in higher cost regions of the country. Mercer's recent analysis of the actuarial values of the plans offered by large employers that are expected to hit the excise tax threshold in 2018 showed that it's not only the Platinum level plans (with an actuarial value of 90% or higher, what we would consider "Cadillac" offerings from a benefits standpoint) that will be impacted; plans with Gold, Silver and even Bronze level values are also expected to exceed the tax threshold as well. Within this Business Insurance article, Mercer's Geoff Manville offers insight into the ongoing discussion surrounding the Cadillac tax.
As I've written before, I have a few concerns with the excise tax on high-cost health plans. A major goal behind the tax is to remove the incentive to offer overly generous coverage, but using cost as the yardstick to measure richness will catch many plans that are "high cost" for reasons other than plan design — for example, because health care costs more in some locations than others. This seems so obvious that I keep wondering if I'm missing something.
So I was eager to read this interview with Harvard economist David Cutler, who's a supporter of the tax. But, sad to say, he couldn't convince me that the tax, as currently designed, will have all the benefits he hopes it will. Economists hope that the threat of having to pay the tax will cause employers not just to shift cost to employees, but to negotiate harder with providers and implement cutting edge measures such as…encouraging generic drug use. Well, I don't have to tell the employers reading this that virtually every health plan includes generic incentives. But don't take our word for it — according to the FDA, nearly 8 of 10 prescriptions filled in the US are for generic drugs, which means there's not a lot of room for more savings there. It's this kind of naivety about the real world of employer-sponsored health plans that makes it hard to feel confident that the excise tax will have the good effects that economists hope for. Will employers increase employee compensation as they pull back on health benefits to avoid hitting the excise tax threshold? David Cutler thinks they will. But when you actually ask employers, that's not what you hear.

As if we didn't have enough evidence that health benefit cost is driven by more than plan design (yes, I'm thinking of the excise tax on high-cost plans), the Health Care Cost Institute just released the Healthy Marketplace Index Report, which shows the economic performance of more than 40 health care markets across the country. It includes measures of price, productivity (based on population health and utilization of services), and competition. The US map showing pockets of high cost and high utilization will raise many eyebrows. You'd expect to see high costs in New York City, but in Boulder, Colorado? Also of interest is the finding that price and utilization are not related – meaning, high price is not a barrier to utilization. The dataset for the HMI includes HCCI's administrative claims data from 2011 to 2013 for over 40 million Americans per year with employer-sponsored insurance, which accounts for more than 25 percent of the nation's privately insured population.

The long range, well placed rifle shot... in truth, it is elusive to most riflemen.
How many times have you had to pass up an opportunity in the hunting fields because you were not confident that you could make a good long range shot? It's not that your rifle wouldn't do the job--it's simply that you wisely knew your limitations, and you chose not to shoot.
But what if you could learn how to use the rifle and scope you likely already have to connect at long range on "kill zone" sized targets? Perhaps that trophy buck wouldn't elude you next time... or that coyote at 650 yards wouldn't walk away from a "Hail Mary" shot unscathed, when you tried to use hold-over to take him out.
We do not advocate taking long range shots on game unless and until you have the knowledge that will allow you to humanely do so--which means the likelihood of a miss or worse yet an ill placed shot is extremely low. In order to attain this knowledge, you need to be trained properly. You need good and useful and practical information--unadulterated by nonsense.
Learning the limitations of your rifle and your load--as well as your own personal limitations--is paramount. But you can extend those limitations to ranges far beyond what you may think possible. All you need is the right skill set.
There are plenty of good long range rifle schools out there, and I won't dissuade you from choosing any particular school you may wish--but will mention this caveat: Many schools you will find are primarily in the business of selling equipment or modifications to equipment, and naturally these schools will cast a jaundiced eye toward the notion that you can successfully engage targets at 1000 yards with a rifle you may have purchased at Walmart. Likely as not, they'll have a pedigreed guru of one stripe or another to tell you as much. But I'm here to tell you--and perhaps teach you (if I'm privileged to have you as a student) that it is indeed possible to use the rifle and scope that you may already have to make long range shots that you might never have dreamed possible.
Naturally, we do encourage riflemen to purchase and maintain the best equipment they can reasonably afford. That said, if we are to believe the mantra often espoused by "tactical" oriented instructors and enthusiasts, we need a cool five grand or more invested in our rifle and scope before we can reasonably hope to hit 1000 yard targets. And this simply isn't true. The rifle shown in the photo below was assembled for less than 800 dollars, which includes the Weaver Grand Slam scope, bi-pod, and sling. It is a Savage 110 in 30-06, and with the proper load recipe it will hit MOA sized targets out to 1000 yards.

Come and take a class with us. It's a very relaxing, enjoyable time in a beautiful location. A place you'll want to come back to--we promise!
BangSteel endorses the Athlon line of sporting optics. Check out their riflescopes, binoculars, and spotting scopes. The Athlon Cronus is honestly a 2800 dollar scope for a *lot* less money. We've compared them to the other top riflescopes in common use, and they measure up equal in every way. See the Athlon product line at AthlonOptics.com
What we "aim" to do at Practical Long Range Riflery is to successfully train long range riflemen for "real world" scenarios, equipping them with a basic working knowledge of what they need--and just as importantly, what they don't need--to reliably hit their mark at long range. While many schools and the philosophies behind those schools have an unrealistic emphasis on role playing and equipment fetishes, we do things quite differently. We want to reach those "19 out of 20" riflemen who are left on the sidelines by the high prices of most shooting schools--not even to mention the cost of the equipment they apparently think you need.
BangSteel uses and recommends STEEL TARGET PAINT (click to pic to buy)
Located in the beautiful mountains of southwestern Virginia, BangSteel Long Range Rifle School provides affordable training for the long range rifleman. We believe that every American should know how to properly handle a rifle at long range. We offer 1000+ yard long range rifle training to men and women, both young and old. We operate on an "old school" mindset--which we'll explain the reasons for during the course. We remain quite concerned over the proliferation of what we call "cyber-shooting"; the dependence on electronics for long range shot solutions. We will teach you a faster--and a better way.
Please email for class dates, as we do not publish an event calendar on this site... When you email, be sure to mention what approximate month and week you'd like to attend. Private one day classes for individuals or groups are available if you're willing to schedule Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday... we can do private 2 day classes for groups of 2 or more... Please note, we take the entire month of November off for vacation and hunting season each year. We resume classes in December. Private 2 day, 1 person classes are available December through February...
We are located very near Wytheville, Virginia, where interstates 77 and 81 cross... nearest airports are Charlotte, NC, Roanoke, VA, and Bristol, TN

GoLite roan is on sale for $130 today. I may grab this as a present for my sister. Does anyone know if this year's version is still box wall construction for the womens? It doesn't mention it anywhere on the site.Dec 17, 2013 at 7:05 am #2055127
And ESpectator
@lunchandynnerLocale: Pacific Northwest
It looks like it is box wall construction. It has about the same amount of down as the bitteroot but the baffle lines are not as deep so that suggests that it still is box wall… Weird they don't actually mention that.
Of course I could be tricking myself into seeing/thinking that. Also, could be the larger baffle sizes that make it look that way. Could always call them and askDec 17, 2013 at 7:48 am #2055139
One of the recent commenters said: For a jacket that is closed seamed versus true baffles, the warmth is great. …
Don't know if it's true, just passing on more info.Dec 17, 2013 at 8:02 am #2055141
Just did a live chat on the GoLite site. According to the person I chatted with: "Sewn through, however on the front of the jacket that is an extra panel to help with the wind."

Too bad. I got a confirmation from Golite today as well. Apparently it's been sewn thru for a while but I remember them being box wall all of just 3 years ago. Anywho it's a shame. For the weight and down fill I'd rather invest the extra benjamin on something else for my lady friend. Till then she shivers!Dec 17, 2013 at 5:17 pm #2055344
"Till then she shivers!"
At least give her a warm hug….Dec 19, 2013 at 8:34 am #2055911
Lol. She actually snagged a pata down sweater at an REI garage sale taht is being fixed currently (broken zipper) and she has a very sweet thrift store find. Some italian designed down puffy. Weighs 18oz, as thick as my MHW Phantom and even has a two way front zip. The only issue is it has absolutely ZERO water resistance and she wants to keep it to city life.
Her only hooded piece is an Atom LT though so I wanted to get her a big puffy belay coat with a hood before dragging her on my first short snowshoe trip and her first backpacking trip (she's a trooper and we've been gearing her up for snow time adventures, so if I can shock her out of the fear of cold the rest is smooth sailing). So the quest for a proper hooded down piece continues.
She fell in love a rab infinity so if I can ever find an XS on sale again may just splurge, but for the price I may wait until sastrugis are back in stock on theclymb and then just put up with her complaining of being too warm.

It sure wasn't the big-splash, free agent signing Green Bay's lackluster defense needed.
But Ted Thompson added a much-needed insurance policy to the secondary Friday. According to league sources, safety Anthony Smith signed with the Packers to an undisclosed contract. With Atari Bigby and Nick Collins slated to be free agents after the 2009 season, signing Smith gives the secondary a possible future starter.Smith comes after spending three years in Pittsburgh and watching the incomparable Troy Polamalu. He also comes well-versed in the defensive system the Packers will be employing under new defensive coordinator Dom Capers. Plus, he spent his rookie season under Darren Perry, who is now the Packers' safeties coach.
In his three-year career, Smith has flashed superior athletic ability at times and mind-blowing antics at other times. A textbook enigma.
Smith has been a part of the NFL's best defense in Pittsburgh for three seasons — his best year coming in 2007 when he had 69 tackles with two interceptions. Smith's play regressed sharply last season, though, and he became a ghost man. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound safety was demoted out of Pittsburgh's rotation in the secondary — all the way to mere special teams duty. In 14 games he only had nine tackles. He was deactivated throughout the playoffs.
And rather than toy with the restricted free agent, the Super Bowl champs simply let Smith go.
Of course, the safety is most known for his bizarre guarantee before Pittsburgh's game against the unbeaten (and then, immortal) New England Patriots. The soundbite became nationwide fodder...and fuel for a team that needed none.
The Patriots proceeded to burn Smith for two touchdowns in a 34-13 rout.
Smith's unusual stint in Pittsburgh stretched beyond this "come again?" yap. As Packer Report's Bill Huber writes in this interesting story, Smith had a tumultuous run in Pittsburgh beyond the Patriots "guarantee."
A new scenary could pay dividends for Smith. He'll join Aaron Rouse and Charlie Peprah behind the starters Collins and Bigby. If Bigby is able to return to his '07 form next year, his price tag will inflate — which would make it extremely difficult for Green Bay to retain both starters at this point next year.
Rouse figures to be in the team's future plans also. His physical presence and playmaking is a scary blend. But Rouse is still adapting to the fluidness needed in pro coverage — he played a lot of linebacker in college. Smith should infuse such athleticism into the secondary.Signing Smith comes a day after safety Mike Adams, who was the first player the Packers entertained this offseason, re-signed with the Browns. Also, restricted free agent Jarrett Bush, a top special teams player who can play cornerback and safety, is visiting with Tennessee, according to the Tennessean.
Meanwhile, defensive end Igor Olshansky, who some insiders thought was the next-best 3-4 defensive end Chris Canty, will replace Canty in Dallas.

Charpter 4
The first couple of weeks flew by. Rosie and the others made sure I knew what I was doing, and at the same time, let other people know who I was. The plan has started to form, and a date had been set for the break in. October the 31st. When everyone else would be at the Halloween feast, we would be in their common room. I didn't know what they wanted to get from the trip, and I wasn't going to ask. Rosie was someone you didn't mess with.
The date got nearer and nearer, and I was getting distracted from lessons. I stopped doing homework, and even turning up. After Herbology one afternoon, Professor Sprout called me back.
'Guinevere, I know that I am not your head of year, but I can see something is bothering you. Tell me.' She urges.
I shake my head. 'There's nothing wrong, Professor. Honest.'
She smiled. 'If I had a gallon for every student that said that, I would be rich.' She patted my arm. 'It's ok if you don't want to talk, but let me give you this warning. Not every person in this school has your interests at heart. Be careful who you befriend. Go on.' She said, pushing me out the door.
For the rest of the day, her words played in my mind. What did she mean? Rosie was looking after me. But I had to get it out of my mind. Tonight was the start of the plan. Rosie had made some Polyjuice Potion and I was the one who would use it. I would wait outside the Gryffindor common room, and wait for people to go in. Then we would have the password.
It didn't take long. Once we had taken some hair form a small Hufflepuff, I waited. A 5th year went walking up, as the fat lady said 'Password?'
'Sanctuary' the portrait swung open. I left.

Vegan Cashew Cheese Shreds
Parmela Creamery scores with aged nut cheese shreds that melt, stretch, and ooze.
We like our pizzas fully loaded with gooey, stretchy cheese, and our grilled cheese sandwiches must ooze from the center or it's a no-go. Minimally processed and made with a few key ingredients using traditional cheesemaking techniques, cashew-based Parmela Creamery's Aged Nutcheese shredded cheeses—in Sharp Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Pepper Jack Styles—makes it so that we can have both of these and more (ie, nachos, overstuffed quesadillas, and prize-worthy lasagnes). You better believe our next bowl of three-bean chili will be generously sprinkled with handfuls of shreds.

BeschreibungThis introduction to tropical food science addresses the needs of two groups of people. First, there are those living in the tropics who require a simple introductory text. Food science is perhaps the most important science affecting their lives. The second group consists of students, administrators, and workers in industry and research in temperate zones, who are concerned with food problems but who have no firsthand knowledge of the tropics. The text provides a concise and accessible guide to all the major elements of the subject, including the nutritional value of tropical foodstuffs, its digestion, and the preparation and preservation of food. The author has taken care to avoid the use of jargon and the text is supplemented by many useful and explanatory illustrations.

Robert provided a clear and concise answer to a question.
Posted by David
With 24 years experience, Bob Gasparro, is one of the top elderlaw attorneys in PA. But, unlike most specialists, Bob has a broad general background as well. As Pres. of the Funeral Consumers Alliance of Greater Phila., I heartily endorse him.
Posted by anonymous
We are consulting with him now. When we saw the profile, we volunteered to add a testimonial. What else can we say? We've been seeing him for almost a decade. He started doing our tax return and handles all our family legal matters.
Posted by anonymous
He helped our family with estate planning. He helped again a year later when a collection agency tried to collect on a debt I did not owe, and he sued them for harassing me.

We met him at one of his seminars and retained him. We were pleased with the service.

What is child abuseThe recent spurt in rape cases in our country has left all of us shocked and stunned, making us stop in our tracks and wondering whatever has gone wrong with our society. Rape is a violent form of sexual abuse, but there are other forms of abuse which are more subtle, but can have long-lasting repercussions on the mental and emotional makeup of the child.AS A PARENT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW:What is Child Abuse?Child abuse can occur when a parent or an adult indulges in acts that cause serious physical, emotional and psychological harm to a child.Child Abuse mostly takes these forms:Sexual Abuse
Psychological Abuse
Total neglect
Violent physical abuse
Children who have had to deal with abuse are most likely to have problems while growing up; building and nurturing strong relationships will be a problem for them.
Moreover, they are also likely to harbor
Low self-esteem
Suicidal thoughts and tendencies
Depressive mental states and
Other psychosomatic issues.
As parents in India a majority of us tend to push issues like sexuality and sexual abuse under the carpet, rather not talking about them, and pretending that they do not exist. But in the rapidly changing societal fabric that is evolving in our county, we would be placing our children in extreme danger if we do not share an open platform with them at all times. So it is imperative that you share an easy and transparent channel of dialogue with your child.RAPE:Rape is forced sexual intercourse, and it can happen to both males and females at ANY age. Rape is a form of sexual assault and does not in any way, involve love or sex. In fact, it is all about power. Control is exerted over the child or the person, and violence is either carried out or is threatened. Drugs or alcohol can also be used so that the child or adult's ability to fight back is reduced.
Rape is a crime, and anyone committing it- a stranger, a friend or a family member is deemed a criminal.
Any person who has been raped, especially if it is a child, needs immediate medical care, support, and above all, understanding.
In the coming sections, we shall be looking at what age we should start talking to our child about abuse and its dangers, and how we can protect and keep our precious ones from such harm.

Zdeno Chara leaves practice
|09.19.11 at 2:44 pm ET
Bruins captain Zdeno Chara left Monday's Group B practice at TD Garden with a bruise in his left leg.
Chara was hit by a puck in what appeared to be the inner left leg/knee on a clearing attempt from a teammate. Chara was slow to get up but finished the shift favoring his left leg. He got off the ice slowly and did not return. His status for Tuesday's black and white scrimmage is up in the air as a result.
"He just got a shot on the inside of the leg there," coach Claude Julien said after the practice. "Right now it's a contusion, and we're just going to evaluate it as we go along here. This is training camp, and if he needs an extra day, we'll give him an extra day. If he's OK tomorrow, he'll go. We'll see. It's a day-by-day bruise, a shot inside the leg."

Ian Pooley is a master of deceleration. Once asked in an interview about his plans for the future he opted for being a fisherman on a Croatian island. What shines through is his ability to keep his cool. "I'm not interested in braggin' about producing four tracks in two days" he explains. "Of course it's technically possible but not satisfying for me." As passionate producer and musician, he prefers to take his time for skilful arrangements. Much time, in truth. His album 'Souvenirs', Pooley's latest comment on electronic music and follow up to his album "Since Then" which sold 100.000 units, was released in summer 2004. And four years are an eternity within our fast living time. "I love to create complex sounds and songs" he elaborates. "And I've found out that a great track takes its time." But as much requested international top dj, he also finds himself at the centre of a hectic club scene, pushed between the clubs of Milano, Kiev and Miami. Still he knows how to adapt and profits from the changing scenes, as open-mindedness is key to his musical approach. Extensive studio work and rapid dj trips are the opposing forces of his life.
In spring 2006, Pooley left his home town Mainz, his base camp for 15 years of highly successful music productions and DJ activities. "I used to enjoy my reclusive life in Mainz especially after returning from a series of international DJ gigs. But when the local scene deflated, I began to miss the creative exchange with fellow musicians." The solution to this inspirational trap was his decision to move to Berlin, a trip into the unknown which soon turned into something good. "Recording the new album brought back the fun I used to have" he reveals with a smile. "Currently I'm reviewing my schedule and try to reduce my bookings elsewhere in favour of a local residency and the opportunity to spend more time in my studio."
Asked about the influence of Berlin he concedes that nothing much so far has sedimented in his personal view although some colleagues wouldn't agree. He claims that he rather focused on exploring of how much he would get from his vintage drum machines and sound effect gadgets. "The vibe", he says, rather goes back to my 'Meridian' album of 1998". Still it feels like a great concept of house music for today.
Ian Pooley's album 'In Other Words' examines the changing forces of techno and house but clearly manifests his own voice among all the diverse tongues of electronic music. A journey of songs cutting through a complex soundscape - covering ground from the compelling summer hymn "Piha" to NuDisco bomb "Heaven". All in all, the 14 tracks range between the atmospheric, deep and exuberant. His "Intro" as well as his "Blue Interlude" serve as an oasis within a sparkling masterpiece. The true beginning marks "5 a.m.", a hymn where Brazilian-style percussions are getting more and more unleashed, embedded by ever-changing soundscapes. "It´s You" draws its power from Pooley's versatile beats together with smooth vocals and jazzy blue notes. amazing in its elegance and airiness.
Guest appearances on 'In Other Words' are as programmtic as frugal. The first calling summons up Chicago house veteran Robert Owens who (in best Fingers Inc tradition) turns "Learn" into a lascivious electro chanson. Then there is Tim Fuller who adds his spheric falsetto to "What I got". And of course, there is Ulf Kleiner aka Perry Colo (a long-standing companion of Ian Pooley) who delivers some wicked organ sounds. Towards the album's end, the tracks once again take on a funky vibe with a hunch for powerful samba sounds. The rhythmically loaded "Closer" ties perfectly up to the preceding offerings and presents itself as the climax of the album.
'In Other Words' proves how adept and adaptable a musician Ian Pooley is. He manages to sound as deep as progressive, as atmospheric as compelling. The album continues his legacy but also refreshes your mind. A tight and convincing effort.

I prefer to be represented by an attorney that understands disparity of force.
Printable View
Shoot someone in a store while they are grabbing candy bars and soft drinks are a tough call too. Where you in fear for your life while all this is happening is going to be the question.
Move to a defensive position in a corner or even behind the counter and put something in between you and them and when that is breeched then you have a real threat
I believe the term is now "wilding" and stems from the Central Park Jogger Case.
Urban Dictionary: wilding
Central Park Jogger case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If confronted with this type of behaviour I can't imagine any other reaction except attempting to protect myself with any means possible. I doubt if I would prevail but self preservation seems human nature.
So many variables, more than in a normal self-defense sittuation. Yes, try to extricate yourself from the sittuation, give verbal warnings, but when it becomes clear they are intent on harming you (whatever that looks like), then you are really out of options. Hopefully they all see a gun and decide to run. If not, hopefully the rest learn from the example of the closest one.
The problem will then come in that there are multiple witnesses (the mob) who will say they were not threatening you and you just pulled out a gun and started shooting their little group get together. I guess I would rather deal with that, than not have to deal with anything anymore, but man I hope there are survellance cameras around if this ever happens to me.
The key is to understand how disparity of force applies to "force in numbers" (large group or mob) and to act accordingly.
So, if you're surrounded by six angry 5th graders, you're going to shoot them if they throw the first punch or even a rock or two? Ahh hmm. Okay.
I hope you've got a pretty good attorney. I think at some point you're going to have to look at the totality of the circumstances.
Well, I'd try to get out if at all possible. The best way to win that fight is to not fight it. If we're talking half a dozen teens, I can't imagine having too much trouble getting away. I'm 24 and in very good shape. If my wife was with me it would change things. She's in good shape too, but probably not as fast as a teenage boy in good shape. Assuming my wife is with me in that situation, which is likely, I'd draw and start yelling, then she'd draw and do the same. Again try to escape. If escape becomes impossible, her 7+1 and spare 7 of 9mm and my 10+1 and spare 10 of .40 come into play. More than enough lead for half a dozen assailants at that range in my opinion.
Bark'n posted while I was typing. Assuming that age assailants, I'd probably laugh unless they pulled out some serious weaponry. Call the cops and fend them off with soft attacks. Once they hit the teenage-ish years, they're adults to me.
weither im armed properly or not (Getting out of work at a school district) if there intent on harming me, im harming as many of them as possible. Stainless steel zebra pen does wonders if applied properly.
That isn't the worst case in my book. The one I worry about is the "knockout game." Someone with no warning steps up and cold cocks you, and then a bunch set upon you.
If my head is still working, there will be blood before they get my gun.
If mob of people flashed me, I'd do one of three things:
1) Laugh
2) Take a picture
3) Flash them back
I'm thinking #3 would probably send them all on their way expeditiously.
There are already plenty of threads about this.
My first reaction to this scenario is that I wouldn't be there in the first place! SA is you friend! I can't conceive of being anyplace where a large number of teenagers or young adults are going to "suddenly" appear out of nowhere and surround me without my being aware of the "gathering" in advance! Star Trek isn't real and people don't just transport from point A to point B and "magically appear!
HOWEVER, if by some chance my SA suddenly became so out of tune that a mob "magically" appeared around me with no advance warning, I would first attemp to get out of Dodge. If that was impossible and I felt my life was being threatened, I would try to turn the leader's head into and exploded bloody mess and so on down the line until the "mob" either lost all interest in their "mob" activity or I ran out of ammo and succumbed to the zombie. I'm 70 and I don't run very well or fight very well anymore, and I hope to live out the rest of my life in a peaceful manner. But if my life is threatened, I don't care if you are 12 or 120, male, female, or indeterminate. Just my .02.:yup:

An Invitation To Intimacy (2 of 5) by Dan Hill
This content is part of a series.An Invitation To Intimacy (2 of 5)
Series: Breaking Free
Dan Hill
1 John 1:9-2:2
The way you see God, your revelation of him will not affect his acceptance of you, but it will affect your acceptance of what God has for you and how you receive him.
And many, many people have a very distorted picture of God, as a result their view of happiness is distorted; their view of themselves is often very negative, their understanding of how relationships are supposed to work is filled with the caustic emotions of guilt, hopelessness, and despair.
A few years ago (2007) a nationwide research project was launched for the purpose of finding out how Americans see God. The results of the survey was not all that surprising unfortunately.
? 31% of all Americans saw God as "authoritarian." When asked to describe what they meant by authoritarian, they said, "Rule, rules, rules, nothing but rules."
? 16% said their picture of God was that he was a "critical" God that you can NEVER, ever please.
? 24% said their picture of God was that of a "distant" God very hands off, who leaves us basically on our own without his help.
Now think about those numbers; 71 % of the people in American, the land of opportunity, the richest country in the world – have a very negative, narrow, and discouraging view of God.
By the way, another 23% of all Americans see God as being a benevolent God. When asked to describe what they meant, they responded that "God is my buddy and hell is a myth."
No wonder people don't want to know a God like that – I don't want to know a God like that either! How you see God really does matter. It is a lot like living with an alcoholic parent. One minute they are as kind as they can be and in just a moment, they are enraged and mean. And so many people, especially those who have come from a home life where their parents were anything but consistent, they carry those struggles and twisted perceptions over into their relationship with God.

The Glowing Orb
"But it would be a bit boring if I didn't help you." Max then said.
He reached inside his jacket and brought out a small orb. It glowed a lavender color and looked very misty inside.
Across the way appeared two men who began yelling and running toward them.
"Take it to Madame Blunt on Quincy street" Max placed it in Luke's hand.

The Government's support for research into GM technology comes at a cost to the legal process. Peter Roderick explains why. Peter Roderick is the legal officer at Friends of the Earth.
I will look back on 1999 as the year in which the British public said "no" to genetically-modified (GM) crops and foods. Consumers won't buy them, supermarkets won't sell them, and many farmers choose not to grow them. Biotech companies face financial crisis, and the world market in GM soya has collapsed.
Only the UK government and certain members of our scientific establishment are happy to support those whose billion-dollar mission is to control the world's food chain. But who would have thought that our government's support for GM food would extend to breaking the law on the industry's behalf? Tommy Archer and his fictional friends may have rampaged through the fields of Ambridge destroying plants, but are they the real law-breakers?
Friends of the Earth has been involved in three judicial review cases in the last year or so, as part of our campaign against the hasty introduction of GM crops. Each time, we've caught the Government acting unlawfully.
First, Guy Watson, an organic farmer in Devon, discovered GM maize being grown within cross-pollination distance of his farm, threatening his organic status. Friends of the Earth and others backed him in court. The Court of Appeal found the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food (MAFF) had unlawfully ignored a requirement under legislation regulating commercialisation of crops. But the court would not order destruction of the crops, and the Government enacted retrospective legislation, pretending the law had never been broken. Activists dug the crops up, but the Director of Public Prosecutions dropped charges against these alleged perpetrators, fearing their defence may be valid.
The second case took place in March 1999. Friends of the Earth – with an unprecedented alliance of three MPs, one from each major party – brought a judicial review against MAFF. The ministry was accelerating commercialisation of GM crops behind the back of Parliament through the non-statutory "provisional seed certification scheme". This complex scheme cut about two years off the time legally needed for crops to come to market. Hours after we lodged papers with the court, MAFF had given in.
The third and most embarrassing defeat for the Government came in the summer. The GM industry and the Government have a voluntary agreement to conduct environmental evaluations of farm-scale trials of herbicide-tolerant GM crops. These trials are "spun" as being environmentally necessary when in fact they are an unscientific and damaging sop, designed to distract attention from the Government's unwillingness to oppose the US within the World Trade Organisation.
Rather than impose a moratorium on commercial growing – a move supported by over 90 organisations, including the Women's Institute, Maternity Alliance and the Local Government Association – the Government hit on the farm-scale trials as the best the industry would agree to. It hoped to pacify critics while allowing the industry to build up GM seed stocks – a smokescreen for commercialisation.
In July, the Government varied a GMO release consent granted to biotech company AgrEvo which allowed the sowing of winter oilseed rape trials, quadrupling the permitted acreage to an area about the size of Southampton. We believed this was illegal as the full consent procedure had not been followed. If it had been, there is a very good chance that the new Advisory Committee on Releases into the Environment would have given its advice, rather than the old industry-linked committee.
The Government rejected our arguments, so on 20 August we began proceedings. By 10 September, the seeds had been sown and a week later the Government conceded we were right. These illegal crops are still growing at over 20 locations, and the Government refuses to dig them up.
I have learned a sad lesson from these cases. If you are the UK Government, committed to helping biotech companies come hell or high water, then the idea that "however high you be, the law is above you" is an uncomfortable inconvenience not to be taken too seriously. I cannot believe that the Government has fully understood the implications of this attitude. Humility before the forces of nature may be difficult for greedy multinationals and their political friends. But is it too much to expect respect for the rule of law?

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I hold a California driver's license and was arrested for APC in OKC. Requested a lawyer and arresting officer marked this as a breathalyzer refusal. Lost DPS hearing. Plead No Contest and received 6-mths probation. In OKC, refusal requires 1.5 years interlock. 6-mths now complete and case is officially Dismissed. Still not driving and avoiding interlock. What happens when I move back to California? Am I suspended there?
And if I move abroad or NY (where I won't need to drive) for work, what can I do about the 1.5 year interlock? Does it perpetually hang over my head (even after 3-4 or even 20 years)? Thank you.I have completed all of OK's requirements: Safety Class, Victims Impact Panel, Assessment.
You will need to contact an attorney in California. Each state treats the administrative actions of another state differently. If California does not have a provision for an interlock based on a refusal to take the State's test, then you may be able to avoid the requirement. Only a California attorney can tell you exactly what to do.Ask a similar question

"It's exciting. It's good for Spencer," said Pembroke Hill Head Coach Sam Knopik. "He'd been interested in Cal from the get-go and having the opportunity to be out there close to his brother's a good thing for him. He called me last night really excited and just knowing that it was going to be a really good fit for him. He was just as high as a kite. Then when I saw him this morning, he was already sporting some Cal shorts."
"My visit to Berkeley was amazing," said Ladner. "I pretty much did everything. I got to tour campus, see all the facilities and meet all the coaches along with Nate Longshore, Justin Forsett and Craig Stevens. They were really good guys.
"The campus was great and the town of Berkeley really caught my eye. The environment there just really helped me seal my decision. I definitely saw myself enjoying myself there for the next 4 or 5 years."
Coming from a challenging academic environment like private school Pembroke Hill, Ladner looks forward to the academic challenges and opportunities presented by Cal.
"Cal's reputation and the fact that it's the #1 public school in the nation and one of the best overall was another big reason why I chose Cal. It's going to be a great opportunity for me when I hang up my cleats."
Ladner also cited Cal's proximity to his brother Ben, a redshirt sophomore at Stanford in making Cal a perfect destination for him, with the ability for his family to be able to see to see both brothers on their visits.
One would expect that a player with significant varsity experience as well as success would be a natural leader on the field. Knopik confirmed that Ladner fits the description.
"He's a great leader for us," said Knopik. "He's done a great job watching the older players and picking up good leadership skills and has modeled good leadership skills himself. I've really seen it a lot this off-season, with him being a real positive leader in the weight room and on the practice field. There's just some inherent leadership qualities with a guy who's big and talented and a guy who exhibits so many good qualities and an ability to get guys to follow his lead.
"We're a pretty small school with 200 boys, so Spencer has played varsity since he was a freshman. But we compete at the 3A level in Missouri, which is right in the middle of our classifications and you have to be really good to play as a freshman. I think his first game as a freshman, he took a fade rout 60 yards to the house –against a pretty good team. He's been doing that kind of thing for a couple years now. He's even thrown for a few td's on double passes."
"We just really felt like we needed to get the ball in Spencer's hands last year so we split him out a lot, kind of like Missouri does with their tight ends. They rarely put those guys in 3 point stances.
"But we used him for lots of stop routes and he's so big and athletic that we felt like we could just put the ball up in the air on fade routes and he'd just go up and get it. We're going to use him in more of a traditional tight end role more often this season, though.
"He can be the total package. He's real strong (315 bench press) and he's put on some good weight and muscle since his sophomore season."
In his sophomore season, Ladner compiled 25 receptions for 492 yards and 5 tds to go along with his impressive junior season with 620 yards and 11 td's as well as the 3 td's through the air.
Ladner also excels on the hardcourt, earning 3A All-State for his state runner-up Pembroke squad, averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds per game.
The Bears beat out some stiff competition for Ladner, who had received offers from Michigan, Wisconson, Oklahoma, Missouri and multiple other programs

Ryu (SSB4)
Ryu (リュウ, Ryū) is a playable character and newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 4. As the fourth downloadable character announced, Ryu was revealed and released alongside veterans Lucas and Roy on June 14th, 2015. Ryu is the fourth of six playable third-party characters for the game, alongside Sega's Sonic and Bayonetta, Bandai Namco's Pac-Man, fellow Capcom representative Mega Man, and Square Enix's Cloud. Ryu is voiced by Kyle Hebert in English and Hiroki Takahashi in Japanese, both of whom have voiced him since Street Fighter IV.
Ryu is currently ranked 12th out of 58 on the tier list, placing him in the A tier and making him the lowest ranking top-tier character. The control input carryover from the Street Fighter series benefits Ryu immensely, with his tapped attacks being useful combo starters and his held attacks being great combo finishers or potent KO options. This is made better by his multiple combo-breaking options such as Shoryuken, neutral air, and Focus Attack, all which have quick startup and make him surprisingly difficult to juggle, while the latter two also allow him to start damaging combos due to the good damage and speed of his moveset. His recovery is also resilient, as his entire special moveset grants him unpredictable ways to return to the stage. Finally, Ryu is exceedingly difficult to punish out of shield due to most of his moves having a hitlag multiplier of at least 1.8x. [1]
However, Ryu's approach is problematic due to his overall below average mobility. Most notably, he carries over the "fixed arc" jumps from his series, giving him the slowest air acceleration in the game and making his aerial approaches very committal. Additionally, his only projectile, Hadoken, is slow and very easily intercepted, while his ground attacks have short ranges. His grab game is also lackluster, since none of his throws can combo (barring down throw until 30%) or KO reliably. His recovery is also very easy to gimp if Shoryuken is his only available option, due to its fixed movement and inability to edge sweetspot until the later half of its animation. Finally, Ryu often suffers with "forcing" KOs, as he lacks reliable finishing moves outside of set-ups from Focus Attack or his tapped tilts, making it difficult for him to KO without starting a combo.
Due to possessing one of the highest learning curves in the game, Ryu's representation is merely average, unlike other highly ranked characters. Regardless, he has overall been very successful in competitive play, thanks to his extremely rewarding performance once mastered. However, despite his success and outstanding potential, Ryu's current ranking on the tier list is debatable. Though he has good tournament results from dedicated mains like Trela, Darkshad and Locus, the more consistent and frequent tournament success of characters formerly ranked below him, particularly Mewtwo, Bayonetta, and Marth, has caused his tier ranking to drop.
Ryu is an average sized heavyweight with below average mobility and recovery, but possesses a mix of combo-based moves and finishing moves with very high knockback. Apart from these, some of his traits are similar to Mario's, such as his dashing speed and the individual damage output of his attacks. This owes to the fact that Ryu, like Mario, is an "all-rounder" in his home series. Despite his balanced attributes, however, Ryu has low jumping force and the single slowest air acceleration in the game. This makes his aerial approach somewhat difficult, while his walking speed (the third slowest in the game) can make his grounded approach difficult outside of dashing.
Ryu's controls are unique in the Super Smash Bros. series and attempt to emulate the control scheme of his home series. The strength of his attacks depend on how long the attack button is pressed; tapping the button initiates a weak attack, whereas holding the button initiates a strong attack. Additionally, his neutral, side and up special moves can be inputted using half-circle and quarter-circle motions plus either attack button for stronger variations. Generally, his tapped tilts are good at chaining with one another due to their low knockback and high speed, which gives him a unique combo-based damage-racking playstyle. This works by keeping opponents in hitstun before launching them away by ending any combo chain with a finisher (typically a held tilt attack or inputted special move), similar to the combos in his home series. Additionally, almost all of Ryu's special attacks (sans Focus Attack) gain benefits from using his unique button inputs, as they do more damage and knockback or have additional effects when done with inputs compared to just with the special button, making mastery of his button inputs imperative if the player wishes to deal higher damage and knockback at all times, especially since they can also be used as a reliable finisher for his tilt combo chains. Effectively, this means Ryu is the only character to have true combos from almost any tilt, allowing him to immediately and effectively switch from damage racking to a finisher instantaneously.
However, Ryu has some weaknesses, one of which is his recovery. Despite being very long-distanced overall, it is very short if many extendable elements, such as Focus Attack and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, are not utilized due to Shoryuken's recovery being almost strictly vertical while also having high aerial lag and thus completely stops his momentum until he is helpless. This property is exacerbated by his very slow air acceleration. While his specials offer him a decent horizontal recovery, his vertical recovery is largely reliant on Shoryuken, leaving him vulnerable to gimping and meteor smashes.
Ryu's neutral game is also held back by several issues. He has a very slow walking speed, which hinders the otherwise great utility of his tilt attacks. While his tapped tilts and neutral aerial are very quick and useful for pressuring shields, they have short range, especially for his tall stature. His only projectile, Hadoken, is slow, short-distanced, and laggy, making it telegraphed and punishable, and giving him a difficult time against opposing camping, and he has no real way of forcing approaches. Aside from the speed and combo ability of his neutral aerial and Focus Attack's mix-up potential, Ryu's aerial approach is comparatively poor. Despite having above average air speed, his aerial acceleration, which is the slowest in the game, prevents him from maneuvering effectively in midair. Furthermore, the advantages offered by Focus Attack are match-up dependent; it is relatively ineffective against characters with several multiple hitting moves, most notably Meta Knight and Fox. As Focus Attack is also Ryu's main method of escaping combos against such characters, Ryu's high weight and rather fast falling speed leave him susceptible to combos and juggles, and unlike most other fighters, his fast falling speed increases his normal falling speed by 40%, rather than 60%, giving him occasional difficulty landing.
Ryu's grab game is mediocre at best, aside from its high damage output and quick pummel. Due to its high knockback scaling, down throw has poor combo potential past lower percents. His other throws have high base knockback, giving them little to no follow-up potential, while their weak knockback scaling makes them unreliable for KOing. Another weakness Ryu has is the inability to "force" KOs. While Ryu does possess some powerful moves such as his sweetspotted forward smash and his input Shoryuken, those moves mostly require setups, and most of his other moves have low knockback scaling, such as his forward aerial, which KOs well beyond 100% despite dealing as much as 15%. Without reads or proper setup and with opponent's great SDI, Ryu can have a difficult time taking stocks from opponents. His unique button inputs can be a double-edged sword, as his normal specials have lower power without traditionally inputting them and it is possible for a simple slip of the hand to cause Ryu to use the wrong move at an essential time. Ryu's combos can also be hard to start outside of reads, precise punishing, or Focus Attack. Finally, like other DLC characters, Ryu lacks custom moves, though due to the strengths his default special moveset posseses, this weakness is pretty small overall when compared to the other DLC characters.
Hence, Ryu's moveset rewards players who know how to reliably use his special inputs and chain them together, and he excels at grounded combos that overwhelm opponents with quick, low knockback attacks that can be mixed up with his multiple special moves. Overall, Ryu's strengths overpower his weaknesses, as his unique mechanics deliberately give him the true combos necessary for many characters' competitive success. Despite this, his learning curve is very high; much practice is generally required for his command specials in order to use them reliably and consistently rather than accidentally inputting the wrong move, such as self-destructing with Tatsumaki Senpukyaku when Shakunetsu Hadoken was intended. Additionally, using the C-stick or other separate analog stick for tilts is arguably more essential to Ryu's optimal playstyle than to any other character, due to the dexterity required to pull off his command inputs during combos, making him more difficult to play using controllers that lack a second analog stick or on a first generation Nintendo 3DS system for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. As a result, Ryu has few strong results in competitive play when compared to other well-regarded characters, though his tournament representation still remains strong, having the third highest representation among the DLC characters, while possibly being tied with Cloud for the second best results of any DLC character, and he is regarded as a very viable character.
Update history[edit]
Ryu has hardly changed at all since his debut in update 1.0.8, but has indirectly benefited from the games' general changes overall. Update 1.1.0 only increased the length of his turn around animation, allowing the player to more easily use his directional inputs without accidentally turning him around. However, the same update's changes to shield mechanics and update 1.1.1's universal increase in shieldstun have greatly helped Ryu by enhancing his combo game as well as Collarbone Breaker and Focus Attack's shield breaking capabilities.
On-screen appearance[edit]
Oddly, Ryu's up and side taunts have their voice clips swapped from Street Fighter IV. In said game, Ryu also does not turn around while adjusting his headband.

Tier placement and history[edit]
Ever since his release, Ryu has been considered a very viable character. The control input carryover from the Street Fighter series benefitted Ryu immensely, giving him excellent combo potential on his attacks out of grounded, repeated weak moves, while also giving him improved versions of three of his special attcks, namely his Shoryuken becoming a fearsome KO option at relatively low percentages. This gave him excellent tournament representation and results for his DLC status, namely from smashers like 9B, DJ Jack, Venom and, most notably, Trela. The nerfs to other top tier characters such as Diddy Kong and Sheik further contributed to his better status. Ryu's tier placement, however, was a great topic of debate due to his weaknesses, namely his trouble at approaching reliably, the buffs other characters had gained, and the release of Cloud, a DLC character that was seen just as viable as him. Despite this, he was ranked 4th on the first 4BR tier list, becoming a top-tier character.
Ryu's results would continue to decline due to the release of Corrin and Bayonetta, the buffs to Mewtwo in game updates and the spike in popularity Cloud had gained. This caused some smashers to drop him and reduced his tournament results significantly, which in turn made him rank at 9th on the second tier list, and eventually 12th on the third and current tier list. Ryu's strengths, while larger than some other top-tiered characters, are held back more than said characters by his weaknesses and very high learning curve and the dexterity to input his moves, and as such has deterred his tournament results from being as great as they initially were.
