Helmet camera settings for target practice?
I am thinking of buying a helmet camera to find out what my weaknesses are when trying to shoot a gun. I've decided on a camera Tachyon XC. My question is how I can set the camera so that records what my image looks like the view and whether or not I calmly? They resemble a first person perspective when I think of the video. Does anyone have experience with a configuration like this? Thanks in advance.
Set the camera to its side. A helmet to ride one will see things from their point of view, which can be seen. Film yourself in your profile for better results

The bullets are by far the most common type of ammunition. small arms calibres ranging from .17 to .50. Air guns and air guns used a .177 caliber bullet. 38 Special Ammunition is one of the most popular in use in the United States. Despite its name, is actually a .357 caliber bullet (the 38 "refers the approximate diameter of the loaded brass case.) Due to the ammunition works in 357 guns, more shooters are turning to it because of cost savings and low back (in Europe known by name 29mmR measure 9 ×).
You may be surprised to know that people from different professions in life are interested in ammunition – hunting of bears to full-time experts in ballistics, forensics, metallurgy, chemistry and manufacturing disciplines. Obviously, there is the current law enforcement and earlier, and professional military. Those not engaged in the active use of firearms are historians (Especially Civil War) and fans interested in the evolution of ammunition, and the astonishing variety of creative designs that have been tested.
The Building a collection of militaria and weapons is some hobby, rather than active hunters or shooters. Since the end of World War II a large number of surplus military rifles have been imported and sold in the United States. Some models are still importing military around the world, particularly in the smaller nations, clean their rifles obsolete stocks.
The hunters for a number of rifles with the New England Firearms Handi-Rifle to be one of the most popular (although it may be difficult to source because the popularity). new guns can be quite expensive and worth your time to check if not used firearms for sale online store of weapons at your site.
Traditionally, when you wanted to buy ammunition, you visit your store local arms. Of course, these days you have the option to obtain ammunition for sale online. But you need to be sure you know what is looking. There's more to online purchase of ammunition just looking for cheaper prices. Other factors to consider so you're certain you'll get exactly what you need – the type of ammunition he needs is determined by what you intend to shoot or hunt.
We also need to think about the amount of ammunition you need. Find a source such as surplus military ammunition, which is readily available stock of replacement of the same ammunition so you do not end up switching to lower rates and have the target range to sight in the new round. Zeroing a rifle and ammunition takes time is not so cheap, even if you are buying surplus ammunition. This saves some time and money.
surplus military ammunition is, in essence, the ammunition that different forces (Navy, Army and Navy) have an excess. In the past, are also included ammunition the soldiers returned home with the high, then sold. Now things are more tightly controlled weapons and ammunition must be returned before a soldier leaves the military life. surplus military ammunition is one of the most popular types of ammo, simply because the cost savings are usually pretty decent compared to the prices offered by hunting and outdoor stores specialty and more generic sports superstores.
Surplus ammunition is not confined to U.S. forces, however – it can also come from outside the U.S. An example of this is the first cartridge used in the SKS rifle from the Soviet Union in World War II – the 7.62x39mm rifle cartridge.
Make some online research when looking at the price and availability of ammunition and keep in mind that the cheapest solution is not always best. Doing research saves time and money in the long term.

Care for patients with advanced heart failure (HF) has traditionally focused on managing HF alone; however, little is known about the prevalence and contribution of comorbidity to mortality among this population. We compared the impact of comorbidity on mortality in older adults with HF with high mortality risk and those with lower mortality risk, as defined by presence or absence of a prior hospitalization for HF, respectively.
This was a retrospective cohort study (2002–2006) of 18,322 age-matched and gender-matched Medicare beneficiaries. We used the baseline year of 2002 to ascertain HF hospitalization history, in order to identify beneficiaries at either high or low risk of future HF mortality. We calculated the prevalence of 19 comorbidities and overall comorbidity burden, defined as a count of conditions, among both high and low risk beneficiaries, in 2002. Proportional hazards regressions were used to determine the effect of individual comorbidity and comorbidity burden on mortality between 2002 and 2006 among both groups.
Most comorbidities were significantly more prevalent among hospitalized versus non-hospitalized beneficiaries; myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, kidney disease (CKD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and hip fracture were more than twice as prevalent in the hospitalized group. Among hospitalized beneficiaries, myocardial infarction, diabetes, COPD, CKD, dementia, depression, hip fracture, stroke, colorectal cancer and lung cancer were each significantly associated with increased hazard of dying (hazard ratios [HRs]: 1.16-1.93), adjusting for age, gender and race. The mortality risk associated with most comorbidities was higher among non-hospitalized beneficiaries (HRs: 1.32-3.78).
Comorbidity confers a significantly increased mortality risk even among older adults with an overall high mortality risk due to HF. Clinicians who routinely care for this population should consider the impact of comorbidity on outcomes in their overall management of HF. Such information may also be useful when considering the risks and benefits of aggressive, high-intensity life-prolonging interventions.
Heart failure (HF) is a serious progressive illness that is highly prevalent among older adults1. Care for patients with advanced HF has primarily centered around treating and managing the HF2,3; however, there is growing recognition of the need to consider comorbidity in treatment decision making3. Prior research has demonstrated the high prevalence of comorbidity among patients with HF overall4 and its association with increased mortality5–8. Less is known about the comorbidity profile of patients who survive to the advanced stages of HF and its contribution to mortality. While several comorbidities have been shown to increase the risk of mortality among patients with a range of HF severity5–8, the effect of comorbidity on mortality among patients with advanced HF has not been characterized. In cancer, a disease with high prognostic certainty, the impact of comorbidity on mortality decreases as the cancer progresses to advanced stages and becomes the primary determinant of mortality9–11. Whether there is a similar decrease in the effect of comorbidity on mortality in the advanced stages of diseases with more variable and uncertain trajectories, such as HF, is unknown.
We used a Medicare database that identifies a wide range of chronic conditions to examine the relationship between comorbidity and mortality among subgroups of older adults with HF. Because this administrative database lacked physiologic markers to identify older adults with advanced HF, we used a history of HF hospitalization during 2002 to identify beneficiaries at high risk for future HF mortality. The purpose of the study was to 1) describe the prevalence of comorbidity and 2) examine the associations between comorbidity and mortality among older adults with HF with high mortality risk as compared to those with lower mortality risk.
We conducted a retrospective longitudinal cohort study of Medicare beneficiaries with HF. Participants were selected from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Chronic Conditions Warehouse (CCW), a dataset containing beneficiary, assessment, and claims data for a 5% random sample of Medicare beneficiaries. The CCW includes 21 chronic condition variables updated annually indicating the presence of a condition as defined by evidence-based algorithms that specify 1) a minimum number and type of diagnoses/procedure codes, 2) occurring within a specific look-back period and 3) within certain care settings. Identification of HF is derived from the occurrence of at least one of the following International Classification of Diseases, Ninth revision (ICD-9) codes: 398.91, 402.01, 402.11, 402.91, 404.01, 404.11, 404.91, 404.03, 404.13, 404.9, or 428.xx, occurring within a 2-year period in either the inpatient or outpatient setting.
We began with all living CCW beneficiaries identified as having HF as of January 1st, 2001 (n=241,254). We excluded 1) beneficiaries age≤65 years (n=20,938) to ensure that all included beneficiaries were at least 65 years of age during the lookback period; 2) beneficiaries who received care outside traditional fee-for-service Medicare at any point between January 1st, 2000 and December 31st, 2006 (n=18,852) and 3) beneficiaries with missing data during the study period (n=334). The final sample included 201,130 Medicare beneficiaries with HF.
In the absence of physiologic measures to identify patients with advanced HF12, we used a single hospitalization for HF, identified as the primary discharge diagnosis, to identify beneficiaries at high risk for HF mortality. Considerable evidence points to the high mortality risk associated with hospitalization in this population13–17, which is driven by both the stage of HF and also by factors independent of HF status, such as preferences for treatment, access to care, and psychosocial support. In order to maximize the likelihood of identifying beneficiaries with an initial decompensation of their HF, we defined the hospitalized group as beneficiaries with a HF diagnosis and at least one HF hospitalization in 2002, but no HF hospitalizations in 2001. We matched hospitalized beneficiaries on the date of their live discharge from their first hospitalization for HF in 2002 to non-hospitalized beneficiaries - those who had not had a HF hospitalization as of that date. Once matched, beneficiaries in the non-hospitalized group retained their classification throughout the study period regardless of subsequent hospitalizations. We matched 1:1 according to age and gender. If there were multiple matches, one was chosen at random. This process resulted in a final study population of 9,166 matched pairs (n=18,322). Matched pairs were followed from their match date in 2002 until either death or censorship as of December 31st, 2006. Date of death was ascertained through the CMS Denominator File.
To validate the ability of hospitalization to identify beneficiaries in our study at higher risk of mortality, we calculated 1-year Kaplan–Meier (KM) survival curves for the matched population of hospitalized and non-hospitalized beneficiaries (n=18,332) (Appendix Fig. 2). At the end of one year, approximately 34% of the hospitalized beneficiaries had died, compared to only 10% of non-hospitalized beneficiaries. Using Cox regression analysis we found a large increase in mortality risk associated with hospitalization (HR: 3.04; p<0.0001). To address the concern that the HF hospitalization may represent complications from or the progression of a comorbidity, we compared 1-year KM survival curves (Appendix Fig. 3) within a subset of matched hospitalized and non-hospitalized beneficiaries who had no comorbidities (n=332) and found a similarly increased mortality risk with hospitalization (HR: 3.94; p<0.0001).
We examined 19 cardiac (myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, and ischemic heart disease) and noncardiac (dementia, cataracts, chronic kidney disease [CKD], chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], diabetes, depression, glaucoma, hip/pelvic fracture, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis/osteoarthritis [arthritis], stroke, and cancer [female breast, colorectal, prostate, lung, endometrial]) comorbidities18. We included in our analyses all conditions that met the respective algorithm criteria for identification by the baseline study year 2002. Because these are chronic conditions, we considered them to be present from the time they were identified through the study period.
We examined both individual comorbidities and comorbidity burden, defined as the count of individual conditions. We grouped beneficiaries according to the distribution of comorbidities in the study sample: ≤2, 3–4, and 5+ comorbidities.
We used descriptive statistics to summarize demographic characteristics and number of comorbidities present among the hospitalized and non-hospitalized groups. Because of the matched pairs design, we compared the percentages of individual comorbidities at baseline in the two groups using McNemar's test for equality of paired data.
We conducted longitudinal survival analyses using Cox regression models to determine the association of both individual comorbidities and comorbidity burden with mortality. In the models that used matched data, the Lin and Wei19 robust covariance matrix estimator was used to account for potential clustering induced by matching19. The proportional hazards assumption was tested in all regression models using the log-negative-log survival curve method.
We estimated the effect of comorbidity burden on mortality within the hospitalized and non-hospitalized groups in separate multivariable analyses adjusting for age, gender and race. We tested for the equality of the comorbidity burden hazard ratios for beneficiaries in each group by examining the entire cohort using a model that included an interaction term crossing comorbidity burden with hospitalization status.
We examined the effect of individual comorbidities on mortality within the hospitalized and non-hospitalized groups using the same approach as for comorbidity burden. Comorbidities significantly associated with mortality in either group were included in a second multivariable regression that also adjusted for the presence of other comorbidities. Finally, we calculated age-stratified median survival for specific combinations of comorbidities that were the most prevalent and conferred the highest mortality risk among hospitalized beneficiaries in the multivariable analyses. Statistical significance was set at P< 0.05 for two-sided tests except for results reported in Table 2 for which a Bonferroni-corrected p-value of<0.003 was considered statistically significant. All analyses were performed using SAS® statistical software (Version 9.2, SAS Institute, Cary, North Carolina).
Hospitalized beneficiaries had a median age of 81 years (IQR: 75–86) and were predominantly female (59%) (Table 1). Because of the matched study design, these characteristics were similar for non-hospitalized beneficiaries. At baseline, 16.5% of non-hospitalized beneficiaries and 42% of hospitalized beneficiaries had 5+ comorbidities. Median survival was 1.9 (IQR: 0.54, 4.4) years for hospitalized beneficiaries and 4.6 (IQR: 1.9, >5) years for non-hospitalized beneficiaries.
The majority of individual comorbidities, both cardiac and noncardiac, were significantly more prevalent among hospitalized beneficiaries than among non-hospitalized beneficiaries (Table 2). Burden of comorbidity was associated with a significantly increased hazard of dying among both groups. Having 3–4 comorbidities was associated with a 22% higher hazard of dying among AHF hospitalized beneficiaries and a 49% higher hazard of dying among NHF non-hospitalized beneficiaries, compared to having ≤2 comorbidities (Table 3).
Most comorbidities were associated with a significantly increased mortality risk among hospitalized beneficiaries (Table 4). For example, among cardiac conditions, myocardial infarction was associated with a 52% higher hazard of dying. Among noncardiac conditions, CKD was associated with a 62% and dementia with a 50% higher hazard of dying. The majority of comorbidities were associated with a significantly higher relative risk of mortality among non-hospitalized beneficiaries as compared to hospitalized beneficiaries. However, there was no significant difference in the mortality risk associated with ischemic heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, or any of the cancers other than lung cancer, between the two groups. When adjusting for the presence of other conditions, the majority of comorbidities continued to confer a significant, albeit decreased, mortality risk among both groups of beneficiaries (Table 5).
Among hospitalized beneficiaries, CKD, COPD, and dementia conferred the highest mortality risk and were highly prevalent. Median survival was <1 year for hospitalized beneficiaries with CKD and dementia and <2 years for beneficiaries with other combinations of conditions (Fig. 1). In contrast, median survival for hospitalized beneficiaries without any of the three comorbidities was as high as 4.8 years for beneficiaries aged 66–75 years.
In this study of Medicare beneficiaries with HF, we used a single HF hospitalization to identify beneficiaries at a high risk of mortality compared to non-hospitalized beneficiaries. Both cardiac and noncardiac comorbidities were significantly more prevalent among hospitalized beneficiaries than among non-hospitalized beneficiaries. While the relative mortality risk associated with comorbidity was even higher among non-hospitalized beneficiaries, both the overall burden of comorbidity and the majority of individual comorbidities were associated with increased mortality risk among hospitalized beneficiaries. The presence of CKD, dementia, myocardial infarction, and lung cancer each conferred≥50% increase in risk among hospitalized beneficiaries. Certain combinations of highly prevalent noncardiac comorbidities (e.g.: CKD and dementia) were associated with markedly reduced survival.
Our findings confirm the results of prior studies13–17 that hospitalization for HF identifies patients at high mortality risk. Multiple factors may contribute both to hospitalization and mortality risk in addition to severity of HF, including, socioeconomic status, psychosocial support, and preferences for treatment. If these factors were completely independent of HF status, it might be expected that the relative effect of comorbidity would be similar among both groups of beneficiaries. However, the finding that the relative association between comorbidity and mortality was lower among hospitalized beneficiaries than non-hospitalized beneficiaries suggests that a more advanced stage of HF was driving mortality in this group. Nonetheless, comorbidity continued to contribute to mortality risk among hospitalized beneficiaries.
Our findings support the conclusion that comorbidity continues to confer a significant risk of mortality among persons with advanced HF. This conclusion stands in contrast to the relationship between comorbidity and mortality among patients with cancer, whereby the mortality risk associated with comorbidity in the early stages of cancer drops markedly and becomes non-significant in the advanced stages9–11. Several mechanisms may be responsible for the persistent deleterious effects of comorbidities in advanced HF. Conditions that share pathophysiology or risk factors with HF may contribute to mortality by interacting with and exacerbating the course of HF20. Conditions unrelated to HF may confer a competing effect on mortality because of the variable trajectory of HF. Alternatively, there is growing evidence that conditions traditionally considered to be unrelated to HF, such as depression21 and cognitive impairment22, may be pathophysiologically related to HF. Further examination of the effect of comorbidity on mortality in the advanced stages of these diseases, and the mechanisms by which comorbidity affects mortality, is warranted.
The finding that comorbidity confers a significant mortality risk among older adults hospitalized with HF highlights the importance of using comorbidity information to guide treatment decision-making for this population. Patients in the advanced stages of HF are candidates for intensive interventions aimed at reducing HF mortality3. The increased mortality risk associated with comorbidity suggests that patients with particular comorbidities may derive only a limited survival benefit from such interventions. Although HF guidelines acknowledge the need to consider comorbidity in the treatment decision-making process for persons with advanced disease, little empiric evidence exists to help guide providers in using comorbidity information to inform decision-making. A recent study modeling the maximum benefit of implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) found that CKD and dementia identified patients with particularly poor survival even when assuming all sudden cardiac deaths to be preventable by an ICD23. We extend these findings among a population-based cohort by identifying comorbidities that are highly prevalent, and when present in combination, contribute to markedly reduced survival among older adults with advanced HF. Future work examining if and how certain combinations of comorbidities might provide prognostically useful information to help guide care will be relevant.
Our analyses have several limitations. Because claims databases typically do not contain clinical information, we lacked data to characterize the severity and impact of comorbidity. While it is possible that beneficiaries with advanced HF also have more advanced comorbidities, an association between comorbidity severity and mortality would only strengthen our conclusion that comorbidity continues to confer a significant mortality risk in advanced HF. Although we were unable to measure psychosocial factors that may have influenced hospitalization, the finding that the relative mortality attributable to comorbidity was lower among hospitalized beneficiaries provides support that the stage of HF was driving mortality in this group rather than these unmeasured factors. Overall health status is not available through administrative data, and it is possible that comorbidity may have served as a proxy for better health. Specifically, we found that cataracts conferred a protective effect among both groups of beneficiaries; however, cataracts may have been coded when they were removed, and beneficiaries with better overall health may be more likely to be deemed suitable for cataract surgery. The use of administrative data for estimating the prevalence of conditions is at risk for underestimating the true burden of disease24. We believe that our use of the CCW, specifically designed to mitigate the risk of underestimation through the use of evidence-based algorithms to indicate the presence of a disease, facilitated the accurate reporting of disease prevalence in our sample. Because we defined conditions as present once the algorithm criteria were met we may have over-reported the prevalence of cataracts since cataracts can be cured. We were unable to distinguish between systolic and diastolic HF. As prior evidence indicates that some comorbidities confer greater mortality risk among patients with diastolic versus systolic HF25, our mortality estimates might be impacted by the proportions of patients in our study cohort who had either type of HF.
Our findings highlight the significant impact that comorbidity, particularly noncardiac disease, has on increasing mortality even among those who are hospitalized with HF and are at overall high mortality risk. To the extent that these patients represent individuals with advanced heart failure, these findings challenge the assumption that as HF progresses into advanced stages, it becomes the primary determinant of outcomes. A model of care that focuses primarily on managing HF may not be adequate for this population; instead, our findings support a shift towards an expanded care model that considers the impact of coexisting illnesses in increasing mortality, addressing quality of life, and determining appropriate treatment interventions, even among patients with advanced disease. Future research should examine the potential mechanisms by which comorbidity affects mortality in patients with HF – by contributing to the severity of HF or by providing a competing mortality risk – to help clinicians better target their care and treatment approach.

I have lived in Indiana for more than 20 years and am proud to call it home! I was born in Michigan, spent my elementary years in Scottsdale, Arizona and made a brief stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin before my family settled back down in Michigan, where I graduated high school. I then spent my college years in Arizona. I graduated from Arizona State in 1986 with a major in Finance and minors in Economics and Spanish. Those were years that I will never forget with the TriDelts, Greek Leaders, Campus Service and amazing friends. At the very end of college, I met a Wildcat guy, John, (University of Arizona) who later became my husband. In the time that we dated, we had to work through the issues of being HUGE rivals of two Pac-10 schools. When we graduated college, we both worked in California. I was in northern California, while John was in Los Angeles. Ultimately, we found that if we moved to the Midwest, we could "cure: some of our undergraduate rivalry issues! So we made a move out to Chicago while John completed grad school and in 1991, we finally settled down in Zionsville, Indiana. After the move, John began working for Eli Lily & Company and I began a career in medical sales, until 1996, when our third child, AnnCatherine, was born. I took some time off and in 2004, I decided it was time to go back to work; this is when I made my move into real estate.
John and I are proud parents of four living children. Our oldest, Tim, is a senior at the University of Georgia and we do not get to see nearly enough of him! He is involved in his fraternity, Phi Delta theta, UGA's Visitor Center and is currently interning for the State Department at the US Embassy in Bolivia. Our oldest daughter, Lillie, just graduated from Zionsville Community High School. She is headed to Mizzou to study journalism. Our daughter AnnCatherine is a sophmore, also at Zionsville Community High School, and she is a cheerleader and tennis player. This is pretty impressive, because AnnCatherine has Down Syndrome and must overcome many obstacles to do what she does, she was honored last fall to be the freshman homecoming princess! Our youngest, Mari, is an eighth grader at the International School of Indiana, where our two oldest also attended all the way through middle school. Mari is also a tennis player. We love the culture at the International School, as well as the people, academics and the fact that our children are trilingual by the time that they go to high school. We have also had an amazing experience with the Zionsville Schools and cannot say enough about the academic support we have received for our AP scholars as well as for our special needs child! In 1991, we finally settled down in Zionsville, Indiana. After moving, John began working for Eli Lily & Company and I started a career in medical sales, until 1996, when our third child, AnnCatherine, was born. I took some time off and in 2004,made the move into real estate.
I am fluent in Spanish and think that I am Latina. I have had the honor of being a part of a Presbyterian Church plant in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico for several years, and I have loved every minute of it! Not only am I fluent in Spanish, but I know enough French to be dangerous! I enjoy using my language skills "for good and not evil" by teaching a Spanish home buying class for first time homebuyers.
Although Indiana offers me neither the mountains of Colorado for skiing nor the beaches of South Carolina, but I am proud to call it my home!

There are a variety of approaches to project management. Critical chain management (CCPM) puts more emphasis on the resources required to execute tasks, while event chain methodology focuses on managing events that will affect scheduling. Regardless of the method you choose, the Small Business Administration advises listing out specific project objectives, create a working timeline of both materials and personnel, and monitor all required costs as the project proceeds. Project control means keeping on-track, on-time, and under budget.
A project manager, therefore, is responsible for determining project requirements, and managing all elements of the task. Project management software is available that will help to organize both yourself and your team. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it may include estimating and cost control, decision-making trees, and a workflow analysis. Over the course of any project, the requirements may change mid-stream, without prior notice. Changes can be the result of necessary design modifications, altered site conditions, material availability or lack thereof. Finally, a formal, compliance-based audit may be conducted by upper management after completion. Beyond major requirements within the economics department, you may consider Flathead Valley Community College courses for adults as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Dettori back in the saddle
Former champion jockey Frankie Dettori returned to riding at Epsom on Friday after a six-month suspension for a drug positive.
Dettori, 42, was winless with three mounts on the English Oaks undercard. He had hoped to return to riding on May 20, but his comeback was delayed by French racing officials. Dettori tested positive for cocaine in France last September, and was suspended last November. He was cleared to ride on Thursday and received a license that day from the British Horseracing Authority.
"I'm delighted to be back and I just want to stop thinking about the last six months and start riding winners again," he said.
Dettori was scheduled to ride First Cornerstone in the French Derby Sunday for Team Valor International.

Trump does not, in fact, lack a foreign policy ideology, nor is there no need to analyse his foreign policy ideology. Rather, the aggressive and disruptive nature of much of Trump's rhetoric makes the task of coming to a better understanding of Trump's ideology all the more important.

Forest soils are difficult to sample quantitatively because of obstruction by rocks and coarse roots. Collecting quantitative soil cores with a motorized diamond-tipped cylindrical bit can provide much faster access to deep soil samples than digging quantitative soil pits. However, the grinding of rock and soil during coring could elevate exchangeable cation concentrations relative to samples collected manually. We compared soils collected by rotary coring to those collected from quantitative pits at four sites in the United States with differing soil types: Alfisols in California (CA), Mollisols in Nevada (NV), Inceptisols in New York (NY), and Spodosols in New Hampshire (NH). Estimates of soil mass were 34% higher from cores than pits at the NY site (p < 0.0001). Estimates of rock mass were lower in cores than pits by 60% at the NH site (p < 0.0001), by 36% at the NY site (p < 0.0001), and by 55% at the CA site (p = 0.002). Exchangeable K was significantly elevated in cores relative to pits at all four sites by 32 to 1700%, and Ca, Mg, and Na showed elevated concentrations at one or more sites. We tested whether the inner portion of the core was comparable to samples from pits, but found that the rotary action of the corer mixed soils throughout the core bit at the two sites we tested. Coring does have the advantage that more samples can be collected for the same effort, compared to pits. Some degree of inaccuracy might be acceptable in a tradeoff for greater precision in the site-level mean, for example in studies aimed at detecting change in soil nutrients over time.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

What do you take me for?
Don't you see the tears in my eyes?
I've bled for you
Cried for you
And you laughed at my scars
Do you expect me to apologize?
Do you expect me to beg?
Forgive me if I flip you off
and leave without a word
I'm fine on my own
I don't need your false love
But I smile
When your screams echo at dawn,
"There is no me without you!"

Over a recent holiday weekend nearly 2,900 people were arrested for drunk driving in North Carolina's "Booze It & Lose It" campaign.
With college and NFL football seasons in full swing, many individuals may choose to host parties to watch their favorite teams play. Our Charlotte car accident attorneys want to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving and responsible party hosting.
When fans gather to watch their favorite teams play there may be alcohol available at the party and all guests should be aware of the potential dangers of drunk driving.
Hosting a party where alcohol is served to adults can be an enjoyable and tragedy free event if preventative measures are taken and guidelines are responsibly followed.
In an article on missingpersonsnews.com particular guidelines are recommended to ensure a safe party when alcohol is involved.
First, if you are hosting a party you should let your guests know how you feel about drinking and driving ahead of time. Your guests should all be aware that they must drink responsibly and you should remind them to have a designated driver.
You should also plan activities for any downtime so that your guests remain engaged and remove the focus from drinking alcohol.
Having a lot of high protein foods available will keep your guests from drinking on a empty stomach and slow the absorption of alcohol. Also be aware that the is no way to affect the speed with which alcohol leaves an individual's system.
In addition to including high protein foods you should try to avoid salty foods such as pretzels and potato chips because they often cause individuals to drink more than they would otherwise.
You can also prepare "mocktails" (non-alcoholic drinks) to those who prefer not to drink alcohol and the designated drivers at the party.
If you plan to prepare an alcoholic punch, it is recommended that you use fruit juice instead of carbonated beverages for the base because carbonation may speed up the absorption of alcohol.
Finally, before the party begins you should have the number for a local taxi service on hand so that intoxicated party goers do not drive. You should also be willing to make arrangements for intoxicated individuals to spend the night if necessary.
While hosting the party you should have fun but remember that it is your event and you are responsible for the safety of your guests. A responsible host must remain sober in order to ensure their guests are not drinking too much.
You should also never serve alcohol to an underage individual and keep the alcohol in an easily observable place so underage guests cannot easily sneak away with alcoholic beverages.
If a guest is consuming too much alcohol offer to refill their drink with a non-alcoholic version and do not let guests mix their own drinks so you can keep track of how much alcohol each guest has consumed.
Hosting a party with alcohol is a big responsibility. The dangers of drunk driving are real and a host must be cognizant of possibility for tragedy if guests drive drunk.

The House Financial Services Committee passed The Securities Fraud Deterrence and Investor Restitution Act (H.R. 2179), which would permit the SEC to more easily collect fines and funds from those who have broken the law. It would also increase the amount of funds the SEC would be able to return to injured investors.
State laws would no longer be able to be used to protect ill-gotten gains, and the SEC would be able to obtain bank records in securities violations cases, as well as increase the Commission's access to grand jury information. Finally, its powers of subpoena would be enhanced.

Man! Has it really been 7 years since I've started writting here? Time does fly by too fast...God I'm old XD anyway let's hit them keyboards for yet another Terryupdate:
Now that I got your attention here we go:
Not much to update here really except that other than reading "Flashpoint" I've also been reading a lot of Webcomics: here are some of the titles I'm reading while on the intrawebz while in here or facebook or twitter (follow me if you want to @Drakeo2point0) :
-Adventures of Dr. McNinja
-Cyanide and Happiness
-Questionable Content
-PPG Doujinshi/Grim Tales [yeah I'm a sucker for good art XD)
-Player Vs Player
-Axe Cop
-The Hero Biz
That's pretty much it,if you wanna check em out,do so if not then don't.
It's Straight SImple!
If you've been living under a rock for the past month or so or haven't watched in a long time then you're missing at least some stuff worth mentioning for:
Since June 27 all the wrestling world/universe whichever you prefier to say have been praising (myself included cause I'm a fucking mark still am and will be till the day I die) or hating on or just plain confused like sara pailn's face about CM Punk's now legendary "Shoot" promo on Monday Night RAW,the internet even the world stood still on that night as we all witness a new legend being forged and it hasen't stopped since.
For once in a long time (I could be wrong) since WWE went "PG" is doing an edgy storyline without forcing too much of Cena (though it can't be denied that they have to do it and of course he's part of it) down the people's throats also building stars (what they should have been doing a long time ago) so I'll say it once and I'll say it again: VINCE MCMAHON YOU ARE A FUCKING GENIUS!!!!! or whoever let this florish to the point that even the true naysayers WANT to buy this PPV for Punk's "Swan Song" in Chicago (yeah we all know he's not going away,just to at least take a break and recharge his batteries and even pop up now and then in Colt Cabana's Art Of Wrestling Podcast [TOTALLY WORTH LISTENING EVERY THRUSDAY!!!])
I've been hard on TNA lately but I will lay off a bit this time because they really tried their best to get back to the formula that made them work all those years ago with last sunday's Destinantion X PPV because they focused on giving the PPV to bring back the X-Division for old time's sake and it was working but then Typical TNA they somehow managed to fuck it up in the process oh well C'es La Vie I guess,but still I'll give them props on putting some talent over and giving oportunities to other wrestlers and not turning it into the "Hogan/Bischoff Let's kill this company and bleed it dry while Dixie Carter stands there looking like a insipid dumb twat (I apologize to some of the ladies reading this in advance) and watch a company that she helped form for almost 10 years go to the fucking ground but wants to really be WWE" (Long title I know)
If they can pull an effort like this,then it might....MIGHT....help them to get better and not really try to duplicate WWE in anyway whatsoever..then again it's been said before so many times I've lost track.
Also..."Joker" Sting?
WHAT THE FUCK? Really?? I will admit though looking at this pic it made me laugh MAYBE I'll give it a chance maybe not...Guess I'm watching TNA again this thursday again just for shits and giggles.
Back to WWE again = Zack Ryder,Scott Standford,Evan Bourne,Daniel Bryan,Sin Cara,Justin
*smacks evnelope in the head gently,opens it and blows on it*
End of WrestleTalk for now!
Those who have known me for years know the love I have for Transformers and my passionate disgust for Michael Bay's handling the way he made the movie(at least he did something right when he cast -mostly by the fans- Peter Cullen to repirse his world famous role as Optimus Prime and also on the recent one by replacing megan fox and also not using those FUCKING racist twins from "Revenge Of The Fallen") Transformers: Dark Of The Moon was Suprizingly Good,and the man who wrote the screenplay Ehren Kruger (who co-wrote the last one) took the screenplay by himself and did an excelent job in not only pleasing the fans of the "Bayformers" (as I call those that like this version of Transformers) but also the Generation One fans and others a like. I loved that there were so many refrences to the cartoon that I geeked out,maybe the only pet peeves other than using linkin park as the main soundtrack AGAIN!! (C'mon Stan Bush needs this more than them!)and also that I really can't stand Sam's Mom SHE NEEDS TO DIE (the character not the actress she's actually good) is the fact that Leonard Nimoy (I have nothing against him really but only this time this is what I don't like of him) after 25 years or so Bashing and Shitting on Transformers saying -and it's documented and if I'm wrong feel free to correct me- that he HATED them and HATED working on the animated movie back in 1986 (ONE OF MY FAVORATE MOVIES EVAH!!!!) and just ranting on how bad it was for him all of a sudden he's the fucking voice of Alpha Trion or Sentinel Prime as he was called in the movie and on the "Bayformers" Universe and has his fucking likeness,it's basicaly a giant robotic Nimoy with a Fu manchu Mustashe/Goatee combo!!! WHAT...THE...FUCK!!!! it's was one of those times where I said to Nimoy... "FUCK YOU SPOCK YOU FUCKING VULCAN HYPOCRITE
TV..not much except watching Conan on TBS cause he's FUCKING CONAN O'BRIEN!!! and occasionaly Lopez Tonight! :)
Music..Got into Eyeshine (Johnny Young Bosch's Band) the usual songs that I love and never get tired listening,Hailstorm's cover of Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance" was very well done! and looking for other bands or singers that catch my eye and also the occiasonal "FUCK I HAVE THIS FUCKING SONG STUCK IN
Games.....I've cut back in Gaming,except playing Mortal Kombat,Super Street Fighter 4 (downloaded the Arcade Edition and it was cool,Evil Ryu looks so fucking Bad Ass) WWE All Stars and downloading some like Streets Of Rage 2 (I'm soo waiting for Comix Zone to be Downloadable) even Bonk's Adventure (haven't played that game in ages)
Thats pretty much it so Peace and Keep on Rockin'!!!

I first published the recipe for these Banana Blueberry Fritters back in 2014 but have now decided to update the post with some new photos and a slightly altered recipe. Despite this having been a popular post on my blog, with many positive comments, I have also had some negative feedback. Many people felt the flour to banana ratio was wrong.
I think it really depends on the size of the bananas to how much flour you need. Personally, I find 1/4 cup of flour works well but I have increased this to 1/4 -1/2 cup following the feedback from readers. I'd recommend trying a 1/4 cup first and adding more flour if needed.
I used plain flour in the original recipe but have updated it to buckwheat flour. I have started using this flour a lot more in my cooking and really like it. It is gluten free and I get so many requests for gluten free recipes. It is an acquired taste so feel free to use a different flour.
I love these banana blueberry fritters and often make them as a dessert when I have over ripe bananas to use up. With only three ingredients they are super easy and quick to make.
A lot of sweet fritter recipes contain added sugar but I feel the bananas provide enough sweetness and when the blueberries burst open they add a further sweet hit. They definitely help with my sweet cravings and I struggle to stop Finn & Rory eating them all in one sitting!
Banana and Blueberry Fritters
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup** buckwheat flour (or plain flour)
- 1/4 cup blueberries
- sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
- coconut oil for frying
Mash bananas and then stir in the flour and cinnamon.
Add the blueberries and stir through.
Heat a non stick frying pan on high and add a little coconut oil.
Reduce to a medium heat and spoon 1 tbsp of batter into frying pan per fritter.
Fry fritters until brown on both sides
Remove fritters and allow to cool a little before serving.
Recipe Notes
I make about 6 small fritters using this mixture.
** I recommend starting with 1/4 cup of flour and adding more as needed.

3. The Secret Spots on His Lower Pelvis
Men's biology is weird.
Their reproductive functions involve more than just a pair of danglers and a penis.
For example, if you were to turn your shower onto power spray and then aim to the left or right of his penis (on the leg/pelvis), you may hit a nerve that activates during ejaculation.
It causes muscles in his lower stomach to tense.
You will visibly see a bit of his stomach (on the left or right) move inwards involuntarily.
Kiss his lower stomach around these areas and it feels very nice.
If you want to find them, start at his belly button, go three inches to the left or right, and then four inches down (roughly).
Kissing any part of his lower abdomen/stomach is a good idea, but the proximity to the penis often makes men anxious for the kisses to descend a little lower.

PARIS: The French state is only a "silent" partner in Airbus but with public anger swirling over thousands of job cuts, there are calls for it to wield greater influence in the aircraft maker's boardroom.
The French government is one of the biggest shareholders in Airbus's parent company, the European Aeronautic Defence and Space company (EADS), and with presidential elections just weeks away the clamour is growing.
French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said on Monday that the state would be prepared to participate in a capital increase of EADS, together with other shareholders.
Several French regional authorities are suggesting that they could become shareholders, injecting fresh funds, pointing to the recent entry of German regions into the company -- an idea backed by left-wing presidential candidate Segolene Royal.
Francois Bayrou, the centrist presidential candidate currently rising in opinion polls, has called on private investors in EADS to take their "responsibilities" seriously and for a "new balance" between public and private shareholders.
But increased state influence is anathema to EADS's management and to the investment community.
"I would prefer a company without state involvement," EADS co-chief executive Thomas Enders said in an interview published on Monday.
For Pierre-Antony Vastra, analyst at IXIS-Securities, an increase in the stakes owned by public bodies risks turning EADS into an "aeronautical Fourth Republic," a reference to the postwar French political era when infighting between competing interests rendered decision-making notoriously difficult.
EADS is currently owned by a mixture of private and public French and German investors, with French media group Lagardere, German-US automaker DaimlerChrysler and the French state each owning 15 percent.
Lagardere's stake is due to fall to 7.5 percent from July, while a consortium of investors including German states owns a further 7.5 percent. Most of the rest is freely traded on the stock market.
But according to a shareholder pact signed at EADS's inception in 2000, and falling in with demands of the market, it is Lagardere and DaimlerChrysler who wield the most control over management decisions.
The announcement last week that Airbus is to cut 10,000 jobs, including 4,300 in France and 3,700 in Germany, has highlighted how little influence governments have.
So increased state influence over EADS may become a reality with DaimlerChrysler and Lagardere currently reducing their stakes and so far ruling out pumping in any fresh capital.
EADS is set to go cap-in-hand to the markets soon in order to raise some of the estimated 10 billion euros (13 billion dollars) needed to develop its new long-distance A350 aircraft.
This could take the form of selling bonds convertible into EADS shares or a straight capital increase which could dilute the stakes of the current shareholders if they do not sign up to their alloted amount of new shares.
Both in Paris and Berlin there is a desire to preserve a group of "core" shareholders which, according to French Economy Minister Thierry Breton, has the "advantage" of protecting EADS against any unwelcome takeover approach.
"For the moment we should not accept any other shareholders within the EADS shareholder pact," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday, referring to the recent rise in the stake of state-owned Russian bank Vnechtorgbank to just over five percent.
Other investors may also be prepared to invest in EADS, most notably the Gulf state of Qatar.

Narendra Modi is the first Indian prime minister to visit Israel. His three-day visit to Tel Aviv marks the 25-year anniversary of India-Israel diplomatic relations which were established fully by Narasimha Rao in 1992. Nicolas Blarel, assistant professor of International Relations at Leiden University and author of 'The Evolution of India's Israel Policy', spoke to Rohit E David on the significance of PM Modi's Israel visit and its strategic implications:
Do you think PM Modi's visit to Tel Aviv finally lifts the curtain over the India-Israel relationship?
The Modi visit is a public acknowledgment of what had until now mostly been a low-key but robust commercial and defence relationship. However, I disagree with the depiction of ties as being kept under the public radar since the India-Israel relationship has become public and normalised over the last decade. Yet, the Modi visit is important in the sense that it breaks a long-term political taboo in India.
Why did no Indian PM visit Israel so far?
Modi has personal admiration for Israel. He travelled to Israel in 2006 when he was chief minister of Gujarat. It has taken him three years as PM to visit Israel. Modi travelled to many Gulf states and Iran before going to Israel. There is a lot of ideological legacy that he had to take care of. Finally, India is reciprocating Ariel Sharon's visit in 2003. This trip by an Indian PM was long overdue.
BJP was more open to having relations with Israel in 1998 and 2004 but it was in a coalition. Had BJP been re-elected in 2004, maybe an Indian PM would have visited Israel then. Under the Congress government it was very clear that this was not going to happen. Manmohan Singh barely mentioned Israel during his 10 years.
The main achievement of this visit is just going there. Most of the chief ministers in India have pushed for better ties with Israel.
What is the outlook for India finally receiving armed Heron drones from Israel?
India has been buying Israeli surveillance drones – Heron-1, Searcher, Harpy – since the late 1990s. All of these are from Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) which has also designed the Heron armed drones. Procurement of armed drones had been under consideration for a decade but there was no political backing under the previous UPA governments. Final clearance happened under Modi's government. India purchased 10 Heron TP armed drones in September 2015 but these still need to be delivered. Delivery could be announced during the Modi visit. While there have been some rumours about possible joint production and technology transfer, it is not clear if this was part of the initial 2015 deal.
How important is Israel for India's counter-terrorism strategy?
Both countries established a joint working group to counter terrorism back in early 2000. There has been a lot of cooperation on surveillance and intelligence. India has purchased a lot of materials from Israel to prevent cross border infiltration including drones. Beyond this technical cooperation, there hasn't been any strong counter terrorism effort. Both countries are dealing with two different types of terrorism.
Modi will not be going to Ramallah. Where does this leave Palestine?
Until now, when Indian ministers and President Pranab Mukherjee visited this region it was always part of a joint visit to Tel Aviv and Ramallah. The major signal this time is that it is a standalone visit. We have seen a slight move in India's voting pattern towards Palestine in international fora. India has been taking more neutral stands rather than consistently opposing Israeli operations in Gaza.
India's relation with Palestine will not be hampered by this visit. Modi had invited Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to India earlier this year. India had reiterated its support to Ramallah for the peace process. We might see some mention by Modi during this visit of resuming the peace dialogue between Israel and Palestine. There's a possibility that India could play the role of a mediator between the two. Israel and Palestine relations for India are now not at the expense of each other.
What can India gain from Israel on water management and irrigation?
There has been cooperation on agriculture in arid lands, especially drip irrigation, since the early 1990s. Since 1992, drip irrigation projects launched by various Israeli private companies in India have grown from $1 million worth to more than $1 billion. Israeli companies represent about 75% of the Indian market. Future opportunities lie in bringing drip irrigation to small-scale farmers. The Modi visit will most likely yield a MoU to facilitate business in this area but there is greater potential in direct interactions between state governments and private Israeli actors.

Are you interested in college tips? If so, then you're in luck. College will teach you a lot about yourself. You can make the most from college if you are prepared beforehand.
If you can't afford college, you may qualify for a student loan. College is a place that will help you get a high paying job later, and it's not a bad idea to get a loan that you can later pay off.
Spend all the time you can studying every day. The more you put in, the more you'll get out. By getting the mindset of treating your education like a job, you can find a chance to be social while keeping a strong focus on academics. The more effort you can put into your schoolwork, the better chance you have at having a better career after graduation.
Before you make your final decision on which college to attend, thoroughly research your intended major and career choice. You will know that the college that you are going to has the classes that will best prepare you for that career. If necessary, schedule an appointment with the director of admissions.
Deciding whether or not you need a car while you're in college is something you need to consider carefully. Many larger cities have limited free parking areas. You may struggle with paying insurance, gas, and registration, especially if you don't have a job.
Always look for used textbooks. Textbooks are a big expense in college. When you don't have much left after tuition, you have to stick to a budget. Search for used bookstores and online options. Purchasing used is a great way to save money.
Instead of selecting classes that are known to be "easy," choose those that are challenging and interesting. Giving yourself a challenge is rewarding. You'll learn more from harder classes and potentially build contacts that will assist you in your future career.
Remember that your reputation in high school did not follow you to college. College is much different and many things you accomplished in high school won't matter to people you encounter in college. Try new things and push yourself to succeed.
If you love coffee, don't buy a cup every day. This expense adds up greatly over time. Make your own coffee. While this isn't as convenient as grabbing a cup from the drive-thru, you'll save enough money to make it worth the small inconvenience. Check your local discount store for an affordable coffeemaker.
Make sure you become acquainted with your campus library. Libraries contain all the needed resources for perfecting the education process and improving your chances for succeeding. Ask the librarian to show you materials that will enhance your studies of your specific subjects. Most libraries will contain a bulletin board for posting offers regarding the buying and selling of particular textbooks.
Avoid plagiarism. You will be presented with many term papers while in college. Make sure you know how to cite your references and avoid accidental plagiarism. There are ways to prevent plagiarism, so do not try to beat the system.
Read your study notes right before you go to sleep the night before an exam. By doing this before sleep, it is said to actually assist by allowing the information to be processed during the night's dreams. Your brain will sort out all of the information far more elegantly than you could do during your waking hours.
If you are unsure what you want to major in, concentrate on your general core classes. This will help you to determine which subject matter really suits you. You might also end up being able to graduate having had two majors.
Always do your best in work study programs you participate in, even if you could care less about the jobs. You are gathering valuable work experience that will be important when you enter the work force on a full time basis, later on. When you do a good job at your work study position, you will make money and build your resume.
College Experience
The tips shared here should have taught you some more about your upcoming college life. Apply what you have learned here and you will have a productive and fulfilling college experience. Learn as much as possible before you go out and immerse yourself into this wonderful college experience.

Friday Voiceover Tip: Secret to Giving Accurate VO Quote
The web has many places where voice overs can be hired and voice over rates vary greatly. With many things in life, you kind of know what price you need to pay for things, because the competitive market and laws of supply and demand make this information easy to find for similar product and services as there are usually many companies offering them.
With voice artists, the price varies considerably as each voice over has their own unique characteristics and industry experience. As a rule of thumb, you would pay much more to hire a known TV celebrity voice over than you would to use the services of a lesser known voice talent working in their home studio. The entry market for home studio voice over kits is now much lower, so there are many voice actors pitching for the same work more than ever before. Many voice over jobs are on a quote by quote basis and it seems to be a little hard pricing unique voice over jobs. Information on where to go and who to trust for prices is increasingly difficult to discern from web searches.
Voice over quotes are defined by various factors including whether you use your own studio or hire one, delivering raw files…etc. Also, per page, per word count or by the finished duration of the audio? All very difficult to gauge and difficult to quantify.
Here is my really simple secret to pricing voice over jobs.
Personally, I like to be able to calculate the cost from the number of words in the script. Granted, I am not a voice-over, but I do work with professional voice overs and I like to work on a win, win basis.
- The voice over needs to be paid fairly
- The voice seeker needs to get a fair price
Getting job offers like 'it will last about 20 minutes', or 'it is 10 pages' is not very useful. Pages can have anything from 300-700 words on them depending on font size and margin size. Audio duration can vary depending on the editing and the speed of the narrator. Also, the narration of a page can take anything from 3 – 7 minutes depending on the content. I find the best way is to quote based on seeing the script and word count. With the exception of 30 second adverts and very small jobs, I think it is always a good idea to ask for script or a word count for you to be able to give an estimated voice over price.
In my experience, this works well. What has your experience been like with giving voice over actor? I look forward to any comments you wish to share.
