Not all that long a ago battery powered lawn mowers were nothing more than a gimmick, but with the latest jumps forward in lawn mower battery technology they really are now a serious contender if you are in the market for a new lawn mower.
GreenWorks have worked hard to make the G-Max a contender in a competitive industry, and they have done just that.

Greenworks G-Max Batteries
One of the most frustrating things about electric lawn mowers is that they just always seem to run out of battery too quickly. Well the Greenworks G-MAX 40V electric mower has found away around this frustration, and it really is such a simple solution.
Greenworks have been able to offer up to 70 minutes of run time out of the G-Max 40v by using two batteries – at the same time!
It features a state of the art battery switching system, so that when one goes dead it automatically switches over the charged battery and you can keep mowing.
The batteries are of the Lithium-Ion type which means that you don't have to worry about them building up a memory and losing their charge capacity.
There is one thing about the batteries that may be confusing to some people, the two included batteries are different. They both fit the Greenworks G-MAX mower, but they are different capacities. One is 2 Ah and the other is 4Ah. I'm not really sure why they did it this way, I guess it was a way to get the run time up to 70 minutes but keeping costs down.
Our only complaint when dealing with the battery system, is that the included charger only fits one battery at a time. This can be a bit frustrating if you do have a larger lawn to mow and you need to wait for two batteries to charge.

Out of the Box and Storage
If you are worried about there being too much assembly of Greenworks G-MAX 40v Electric Mower out of the box, then don't. The setup is relatively painless and you can have it up and ready to go in about 5 minutes. Then you just need to charge the batteries of course!
The mower has a mulching plug that is pre-installed, you will need to remove this if you don't want to use the mulching feature.
The procedure to store the mower is fairly simple, the handle folds up quickly and easily and it stores away nice and neat. The manual does recommend that if you are storing it for any length of time, you charge the battery at least every 2 months.
Twin Cutting Blades
The Greenworks G-MAX 40V Mower uses a twin blade cutting system, which we found are a great feature.
We also thought the mulching functionality was top notch, even when mowing over sticks and other items that fall out of trees – the twin blades make short work of it. With just grass, there are no visible clippings left anyway on the lawn.
A 20 inch cutting deck saves you time (and your legs) as well. Because it is a little wider than most of the other electric mowers on the market, so mowing your lawns will require less passes.
The single height adjustment lever means it is super easy to adjust the cutting height of your mower in one action. There is no need to adjust each wheel individually.
Feature – Auto Throttle
The Greenworks G-Max has a built in auto throttle, which automatically adjust power to the cutting blades so the mower is not working harder than it has to. This maximizes battery run time and will also likely likely lengthen the life of the electric mower due to it not running at full throttle all the time.
In theory, this is a great idea. However we found that the auto throttle can be a little slow to react when you hit a thicker or longer patch of grass. This meant that the mower would struggle for a few seconds until the auto throttle kicked in and powered up the mower. It's more of an annoyance than a real problem, but it should be mentioned.
Starting the Mower
The mower is simple enough to start and includes a 2 stage safety feature to keep those little fingers and hands safe.
The mower requires the user to insert a key before the start button will work. you then need to pull the bail towards the handle and release the start button to get the blades turning.

Well, I have looked into it further. Evidently, most of these "diagrams" you see in both popular science texts, and on the internet, don`t amount to much for detail. I did an extensive search on "Bering Land Bridge", and after about 20 pgs of nothing but the Pleistocene connection, gave up. But, on looking into Cretaceous Dinosaurs, had better luck. It seems there was an 1992 International Conference on Arctic Margins whose Proceedings are posted on the internet at: http://www.mms.gov/itd/pubs/1994/94-0040/toc2.htm (takes a long time to download articles). Greg Paul had written an interesting article on "Physiology and Migratio of North Slope Dinosaurs". But the article that I found relevant by Louie Marincovich titled "Earliest Tertiary Paleogeography of the Artic Ocean" shows that (by analysis of mollusk fossils in the Prince Creek formation) it is determined that the Arctic Ocean Basin was almost completely isolated from the World Ocean during the Late Cretaceous, only opening up a passage to the North Atlantic in the Paleocene. and..."The accretion of tectonic plates between Asia and North America largely closed any connection between the Pacific and Arctic Oceans by the late early Albian (ca 105-110Ma) (Wialliams and Stelck, 1975).

They certainly look isolated on the diagrams, but I admitt now, they will need closer scrutiny to determine if I really have a case for BCF.

Veterinary assistants and laboratory animal caretakers look after animals in laboratories, animal hospitals, and clinics. Veterinary technologists and technicians perform medical tests under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian to assist in diagnosing the injuries and illnesses of animals. Veterinary technicians must complete an associates program in veterinary technology, while veterinary technologists require a 4-year bachelors degree. The median annual wage for veterinary technologists and technicians was $32,800 in May 2017. Employment opportunities are projected to grow 20% over the coming decade, much faster than the average for all medical occupations.
In 2017, there were 231 veterinary technology programs accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Most states require veterinary technicians to pass the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE), offered by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards. For technologists seeking work in a research facility, the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) offers the following certifications: Laboratory Animal Technician (LAT) and Laboratory Animal Technologist (LATG). To become certified, candidates must have work experience in a laboratory animal facility and pass the AALAS examination. Beyond major requirements within the animal science department, you may consider Lake Sumter Community College human physiology as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

A lesson on life and flow from Roger Ebert
A week before Roger Ebert died, my colleagues and I gathered for a meeting withDr. Karl Ahlswede, a former cardiac surgeon who stepped away from his practice 2 years ago to start something new. Dr. Karl's practice is now dedicated to advance care planning, or preparing for the end of life. We hired Dr. Ahlswede to offer his program to our entire staff; to help us each be better prepared for dealing with our own health issues, and for issues facing our families and friends.
Advance care planning might seem like an unusual service for a business to offer it's employees, but we're finding that thinking about our own mortality (and the mortality of our families and loved ones) gave us unexpected benefits.
Roger Ebert's cancer diagnosis in 2002 changed much about his life, but some things didn't change. He lived publicly, choosing to continue his career as a film reviewer even after he lost his ability to speak in 2006. As he told Chris Jones of Esquire in 2010 (via a blue Post-It note): "There is no need to pity me. Look how happy I am. This has lead to an [explosion] of writing."
Writing is what Ebert did for us, but another quote from his journal that he shared with Jones makes clear that he was writing as much for himself as for his readers:
"When I am writing, my problems become invisible, and I am the same person I always was. All is well. I am as I should be."
Reading that line reminded me of something Dr. Ahlswede told us last week at the start of our first meeting. His practice focuses on understanding what a patient values – not a set of checkboxes or treatments, but the things in their life that make their lives full. In discussing this with one of his patients, she told him that if she couldn't live at home with minimal assistance and be able to knit, she didn't want to live. That's the kind of thing that doesn't show up in an electronic health record or even a living will, but it is the kind of information that Dr. Ahlswede uses to help his patients and their families make difficult choices.
For this patient, it was knitting. For Ebert, it was writing, and the way he described it sounds like something else we talk about a lot in our office: flow. Flow is a mental state first described by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi that is characterized by deep engagement in an activity. It is the feeling you get when you are completely focused on a task that challenges you, one that causes the rest of the world to disappear for a while.
Different people achieve flow through different activities, and since it is deeply enjoyable, it is worth figuring out what activities cause it for each of us. It might be walking, or cooking, or travel, but whatever it is, thinking about our own mortality helps focus our minds on what we need and what we can do without. Dr. Ahlswede's approach helps us think about more than just how we will die, it helps us discover the things we truly value about life.
And the sooner we get clear about what those things are, the better. As we sat around the table in our office, we each talked about the activities that get us into flow, and how valuable that feeling is. That we are (hopefully) decades away from having to put Dr. Ahlswede's work into practice for ourselves isn't just prudent. We've learned something important we can start right away: making more time for the things that make us feel alive.

My greatest weight loss success came after I decided to complete change my way of thinking. Instead of making food the enemy I have made it strictly a means to keep my body and mind healthy. I don't obsess about food because I have filled my life with other pleasures such as family and friends.
I spend at least 30 minutes each day moving my body. My preferred form of movement is to take walks at a brisk pace outdoors, particularly in nice weather. I love to soak up my surroundings and breathe the fresh air.
When it comes to foods I stick to vegetables, low sugar fruits and whole grains. I've completely cut out sugar filled desserts.
One of the most important things I do is write down everything I eat. This makes me accountable for smart food choices and think twice about making poor food decisions.

Yoga citta vritti nirodhah
Having never read up on yoga philosophy prior to this yoga teacher training course, I was quite excited for my first yoga philosophy class. At first, I thought it might be mostly about history and things I will just learn for fun and forget all about. However, now I realize that yoga philosophy is important to understand. Aside from mental and spiritual benefits, it can also bring out the best performance in our physical asanas.
One of the most well-known yoga sutras is "Yoga citta vritti nirodhah". This quote means yoga is stilling the mind.
In our modern lifestyles, our minds are often racing. When we are at school or at work, we think about our deadlines and how many more things we have to finish. Even when we are at home, trying to get to sleep at night, perhaps we are thinking about what our schedule is like for the next day. Sometimes, we tend to let our minds wander even when we are doing certain poses. I'm sure some people already think of how to reward themselves with a good wholesome meal after their yoga session while flowing through tiring vinyasas.
Therefore as an aspiring yoga teacher, it is important to keep this sutra in mind. The objective of yoga is to achieve clarity of mind. This is something we need to instill in both ourselves and our students.
This is why we start asana practice sitting in stillness, just relaxing our minds and focusing on our breaths. This prepares us for our asana practice as we focus on our bodies and the practice. By achieving concentration be it during meditation or in the first part of asana practice, we are able to be at peace with ourselves, be calm, without intrusive thoughts. This is important for our mental and spiritual wellbeing. You may wonder, is this even related to the physical practice of yoga asanas? Yes, it is. With a lack of distraction in the mind, we are able to increase awareness of the present. As we practice our asanas, we will have increased body awareness and be able to focus on bringing ourselves deeper into the pose.
Thus, stilling the mind is an important sutra which can improve our physical performance as well as mental and spiritual wellbeing. As a yoga teacher, working on this is crucial. Only then you will be able to share this with your students and improve their physical practice as well as slowly, their lives.

Survival and therapeutic potential of probiotic organisms with reference to Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp.

Received 13 September 1999; Accepted 11 October 1999.
The present paper provides an overview on the use of probiotic organisms as live supplements, with particular emphasis on Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp. The therapeutic potential of these bacteria in fermented dairy products is dependent on their survival during manufacture and storage. Probiotic bacteria are increasingly used in food and pharmaceutical applications to balance disturbed intestinal microflora and related dysfunction of the human gastrointestinal tract. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp. have been reported to be beneficial probiotic organisms that provide excellent therapeutic benefits. The biological activity of probiotic bacteria is due in part to their ability to attach to enterocytes. This inhibits the binding of enteric pathogens by a process of competitive exclusion. Attachment of probiotic bacteria to cell surface receptors of enterocytes also initiates signalling events that result in the synthesis of cytokines. Probiotic bacteria also exert an influence on commensal micro-organisms by the production of lactic acid and bacteriocins. These substances inhibit growth of pathogens and also alter the ecological balance of enteric commensals. Production of butyric acid by some probiotic bacteria affects the turnover of enterocytes and neutralizes the activity of dietary carcinogens, such as nitrosamines, that are generated by the metabolic activity of commensal bacteria in subjects consuming a high-protein diet. Therefore, inclusion of probiotic bacteria in fermented dairy products enhances their value as better therapeutic functional foods. However, insufficient viability and survival of these bacteria remain a problem in commercial food products. By selecting better functional probiotic strains and adopting improved methods to enhance survival, including the use of appropriate prebiotics and the optimal combination of probiotics and prebiotics (synbiotics), an increased delivery of viable bacteria in fermented products to the consumers can be achieved.

@nazimaali spoke of how far we've come in technology over the past 40 years. Then I look back on my mom and dad and all they've seen in their life. My mom was born in northern Alberta in 1918 and my father was born in 1912 in Russia. Yeah, they were of a far different era. They have, alas, both moved on to the prairie in the sky.
Imagine in the 1920's, a northern Alberta village where a large family, of eight children at the time (her family grew to 13 kids!!) and living in a one room homesteading cottage. My mom told me how her mom used to burn birch wood and spread the ashes on the floor. And how they used to ride horses to school in the winter and if they were first to arrive? They had to start the fire in the school stove. Then in the spring they used to walk across the creek on the backs of the thousands of fish. But if you got sick! My mom told me of when her sister broke her leg they had to hire a horse and buggy to ride 20 miles through muddy roads to a doctor. I ain't making this up! Google the book "Ten Dollars and a Dream" and look for the Houle stories. One of my mom's uncles was a member of the Louis Riel rebellion in Manitoba too!
My dad's father was an Imperial Guard for the Tsar in Kiev and they had to escape the red terror (I've written a script around this – well fictionalized anyway), so they came to Canada. They ended up homesteading in Saskatchewan. Dad told me stories of working on farms during the 20's and 30's, the steam combines and teams of horses. But alas, unlike my mom's family, there wasn't much documentation on my dad's history. Just a few, sparse stories. Breaks my heart that I just never had the wherewithal in my youth to capture my father's history…
The last time I visited my dad was a few months before he passed away. At his house where my mom and my sister took care of him. He was 91 and Dementia was taking hold. But I was so grateful for the few lucid moments. We spoke of the time at his cabin, or his time in the army (he was stationed in Vancouver at Point Grey in WWII!!), but mostly his years being a barber (he started in WWII and didn't retire until he was 82!) and how I used to hang out there. Then we talked about all the changes that occurred since his steam combine days… so much change…
Mind you there was probably more change since my childhood in the late 60's to now then from the 20's to the 60's. Wow… so much changes…
Title: My Joy
Ode to my funny valentine
How she makes me smile
With a simple turn of her mouth
My heart flies
I chuckle along with her heart
I giggle with her sweet laugh
Her sense of humour makes
My ribs ache
I share my life with her as
She fills the day with mirth
Happy moments imbued with
Joyfulness personified
Title: Broken
How scorned one is
How bitter one becomes
How when hate finds its way
Into a heart, how it eats
How it consumes one's soul
Until nothing is left
But a sadness of fate

I want to look back a moment in my life where I experienced what I could only call pure, unconditional love…
I woke up at 6:30 am on August 8, 2008, a sunny, joyful morning. The day I was to marry my Marina. Tired, didn't sleep too well, maybe jitters, but it clearly was the excitement of a full-blown church wedding and reception! That and Marina and I were up late decorating the reception room at the hotel.
I quickly dressed and went out for a coffee and a quiet, contemplative moment on a bench at English Bay. I kept imagining that Marina will have so much tashcala (meaning "craziness" in Armenian) around her before the wedding. I knew she'd be at her brother's house getting ready. The whole works: hair, makeup, dress, everything. Her whole family was going to be around her. While on that bench I began to feel a bit sorry for myself as I wasn't getting the same attention. Only my best man, my nephew Brent, was coming over for lunch, then to help me run a few errands, then get ready and head to the church. I had to get up and walk a bit to push away these feelings. I got a coffee and walked around a bit.
Later that afternoon Brent and I did have lunch and ran the errands. One of which was to pick up a photographer for us and then to stop Marina's brother's to drop off something. I didn't get to see her, but I heard her "Love you!" through the wall of in-laws who didn't want me to see her before the church.
We went back to my apartment to get ready. Snapped a few pictures around our place, one other site, then, off to the wedding!
We were getting married at this small orthodox Armenian church in Richmond. It's situated on top of a hall at five road and Westminster highway. We pulled into the parking lot and I ran upstairs to the church as I didn't want to see Marina before she was to walk down the aisle!
I stuck to the front, keeping away from the windows as Brent kept a lookout for Marina's arrival downstairs. Meanwhile I lit a candle for our dad's who both died well before we met.
Which reminds me: Marina and I felt that there was something special that brought us together. I told her that it was this: That one day in heaven her dad Gregory was out for a walk and met up with my dad Phillip. Gregory then said to him, "My daughter Marina is looking for the love of her life." Whereas my dad responded, "well I've got a son who is single and looking for his soul mate."
I still tear up to think of this…
The word came, Marina has arrived in her limo. With my heart in my throat I stood at the front and waited, and waited… apparently Marina thought I hadn't arrived yet and was waiting for me, funny.
Anyway the cello player (Marina surprised me with a this at the wedding – Loved it!) started to play as my new nieces and nephews walked the aisle… then the doors at the back of the wedding closed and Brent whispered to me "breathe".
Then what I considered to most beautiful piece of music ever written: J.S. Bach Suite no. 1 began (I have to pause a few times to wipe away tears as I still get very overwhelmed writing this).
Whoosh! My heart jumps, my knees weakened as the doors opened and there, the most beautiful women I'd ever seen in an angelic white wedding dress. Her wide, luminous smile and her eyes looking for me. Our eyes met and Brent had to grab me to hold me up.
When those doors opened the feelings, the image was instantly and permanently imbued on my soul as one of those moments of pure, unconditional, unforgettable, profoundly magnificent moments. For the rest of my life it will remain as a signpost in my soul's rebirth and the start of a wonderful life with Marina.
Ah love…
Below is a poem I wrote for Marina and read at the reception.
Armenian Rose
How like a rose she doth persuade my eye
How like the summer's balmy wind I fly
How like the sun her smile ignites my soul
How like the moon I find her with the stars
How like the spring she grows upon my heart
Thus in nature's beauty she has renown
All I can do is sigh and close my eyes
My spirit sashaying in her blessed step
Infusing moments until the next time
Thus any instant absent from her grace
I am prompted to then recall her face
Her sweet bouquet imbued upon this man
As when the time enwrapped within her arms
My mind exalted alights upon love

Okay Sam here it is…
A twitter friend @Samuel_Clemons said get your blog fired back up. Especially as I haven't blogged since 2007. So here I am. I warned him it'll not be anything of note or exciting, but it is what it is. I'm grateful he pushed me to do this as I need to find a regular writing project to keep my writing muscles flexed. I plan to post it twice a week for now.
I thought about making it a video blog but to hear that slight lisp in my voice drives me crazy so writing would be far better, on the hearing anyway.
Been thinking about what to write about. I'll add my poetry, short stories, life experiences as they come up. But today what can I writer about… hmmmm… about writing? We all struggle with that and there is a myriad help for that. About making films? I will later. I'd rather be making them really. I will, just not now. About the current TV Pilot project I'm working on right? No, contractually I can't do that, for now anyway.
Oh oh oh! How about the emotional trials of a middle-aged, slightly emotionally damaged man? I've been in tons of therapy (both private and group) and spilled my internal impairments unto the world; well, enough to function on a fairly reasonable self-awareness level, I think. Aaaaand having said that, they say the blog is an excellent place for narcissistic ramblings and I'll be no exception.
I'm that quiet guy in the corner
Something far too obvious to my friends, but I'm not great social animal. Never been a social animal at all, never had a large group of friends. Ever. But that's okay, I'm not for small talk. Just not great at it. I'll tell you the social networks are a boon for me. Met my wife on one (a story for later) and have lots of virtual friends. Yes, I have a few, "real life" friends too. But I feel so lucky living in a time when I can speak to people around the world. Hear their stories, a wonderful thing. But I digress. I've always been shy and never really came out of my shell until I started the deep introspective and then joined an improv theatre group (another story for another time), that was an eye-opening thing. Here a wall flower going on stage and without a script. So fun!
Anyway, I'm going to cut it off there as I have lots more to say… here are a couple of my poems:
Title: Passage
A brush to blush
This skin I touch
How my passion rises
Such animatistic lust
My mind vindicates
What my hands exploit
Cutting through curves, through
Valley, dales there hidden by choice
Until that moment, bliss
Explodes on your voice
How then lay we
Spend and sedate
Waiting, waiting, waiting
For the next moment to initiate
Title: Still Beats, My Heart
I, for health
stroll paths, this
all hallows eve, in
waning light
waxing, dimmed moon
at, alley's access
ponder, should I enter
such, sullied lane
pushed, it seems
onward so
ache, straining sight
probe, nook, cranny
brave face, in
shadows forming, as
fright turning
skin's pallor mine
halt progress, in
echo's, not my own
launching, leaping
heart's, pounding
breath racing, raging
brewing stewing
who, what, there?
heeled turn
hoping none
there, knife clutched
yet, yet
eyes staring
blazing my soul
I am, I am
alone alone
in imagination's

If one thing's certain about a tech fueled lifestyle, it's that style is as important as ever. In an era where private yachts, extravagant escapes, and internet access on your watch come in to play as cool ways to escape the perils of city life, modern gentlemen are grabbing onto crocodile briefcase designs, as a way to place a symbolism of sophistication and charm at the centerpiece of a busy, and sometimes hectic lifestyle.

Best Laptop Briefcases Style Tips – We've Done The Guess Work – PILAEO MAG
3 Best Luxury Crocodile Briefcases For Men!
Getting the perfect look, that can effortlessly walk the very fine, almost not existent line between sleek fashion and luxury for men, comes with a hefty amount of knowledge of style needed, one that the everyday businessman-next-door might not be too fond of. But this doesn't mean you should throw in the towel just yet, after all, style can be effortless with a few key essentials, most notably, the crocodile briefcase; An essential that is certainly shifting men's perception of what true fashion means. For some time, it may have seemed as if a certain look for modern men was all too common with a conveyor belt-like reproduction of the same kinds of messenger bags, and chukka boots, along with that all too familiar plaid dress shirt.
Leather Briefcases Or Canvas Messenger Bags?
It'll be good to note beforehand, that the functional purpose of any bag is to actually be utilized. Both canvas and leather have their place in the men's accessory department, but sometimes, certain designs, and fabrics will do nothing but wonders, over the long run. That being said, leather for one, is flexible, if really authentic, typically gets better with time, can change to a nice hue, if properly taken care of, and is frankly, on the more pricier, and high end side. However those aforementioned characteristics of leather by no means discounts the viability of canvas, which itself has it's own excellent uses and qualities. Briefcases and bags are something that men, in particular businessmen, take seriously. Trending style isn't something to take lightly after all, given the long term cost per benefit ratio it can have.
Briefcase Briefing: 3 Luxury Picks For The Man On The Go
Elegant gentlemen have been choosing luxury briefcases for centuries. From the sleek black leather styles of the 20's to the modern, chic, crocodile pattern designs of the 2000's, luxury briefcases have been a staple in the wardrobes of not just professional men, but also suits the casual guy on the go. Sporting a briefcase does not mean you've got to have a necktie and pair of dressy brogue shoes to pair with it, contrary to popular belief. Luxury briefcases have never been so flexible and easy to work with almost any outfit. Men's fashion embraces flexibility, comfort, and convenience, all while staying amazingly modern and stylish. In addition to Esquire's Best Men's Bags For Work And Travel, here are 3 stunning luxury briefcases for the man on the go:
Brown Briefcase – 3 Best Picks For Men!
Sifting through endless styles of ties, or dress shoes, to get an appearance that is supposed to make you the most professional, prepared, and utmost sharpest gentleman around can be a task. However, smart gentlemen are taking advantage of one of the best kept style secrets – The briefcase. Brown briefcases have been a favorite for both business and casually-dressed gentlemen for many years – partly because brown briefcases are undeniably flexible, and evoke the modern, laid-back look, that most guys set off to get, when shopping. Brown briefcases are modern, offer the perfect traditional and vintage edge that stylish guys crave, and of course, are convenient, and excellent for the office. Getting the right professional look, that will captivate not just your co-workers, but also everyone around you, and propel your confidence in and out the office to new highs, is much more achievable with the right accessory. Of course however, not all briefcases are the same. In fact, not all BROWN BRIEFCASES are the same. Depending on the quality, hue of brown, the size, type of leather, and a laundry list of the other characteristics, the briefcase can seriously make or break your entire look. Here are 3 brown briefcases for a more professional, modern, and truly elegant look.
Mens Ostrich Briefcase Trend Alert! Best Designs To Get!
When just any regular briefcase wont synchronize with your style, what is a professional gent to do? Perhaps he'd dust off his backpack from college, and sport that around as an attempt to reinvent a college-inspired fashion trend around the busy office. Or, he might consider modern briefcases, a far cry from the traditional styles (not to say they are boring or unfashionable). They just give an outfit more style, more charm, and more fashion clout. An outfit on its own is by all means sharp, well given the tailoring is up to par with some of the Italian craftsmanship techniques. But what about guys who love a casual, business suit for the sake of comfort without compromising quality and style? An ostrich styled briefcase might be the exact ingredient missing to your professional style recipe. With a timeless pattern known for it's luxury and sophisticated design, ostrich styled leather has been featured back to back my major fashion houses and now professional men can sport the look every day. Suitable for laptops, tablets, and documents, the ostrich briefcase is truly impresses.

Thursday, January 01, 2004According to Fox wonk, Larry Kudlow, we're seeing Another re-election economy. Apparently, Larry hasn't spent much time looking at the unemployment statistics published by the BLS:
2000 Unemployment %: 4.0
2002 Unemployment %: 5.8
Facts do tend to get in the way of arguments by Fox (News?) commentators.
2003 should see some improvements, but clearly more people are out of work today than at the start of Bush's presidency. Somehow I doubt those those unemployed folks would share Larry's rosy view of today's economy. And I'm positive they have enough voting power to sway an election if things end up being anything like 2000.

Israeli Army Reinforces Troops in Gaza
By JOHN KIFNER, Special to the New York Times
Published: January 11, 1988
JERUSALEM, Jan. 10— The Israeli Army poured reinforcements into the Gaza Strip today but failed to quell continued violence as two more Palestinians died of army gunshot wounds.
As many as 50 people were reported wounded today as the protests, increasing in intensity, went into their second month. The death toll reached at least 29 Palestinians.
The street battles continued into the night, residents of the area said. Islamic slogans could be heard from the loudspeakers in the minarets of the mosques, interspersed with occasional bursts of gunfire.
The Israeli Cabinet, sitting as a closed ministerial defense committee today, endorsed Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin's policies for putting down the disturbances.
But, the Israeli radio reported, Mr. Rabin told the Cabinet that the problem was more difficult than had been expected. The disturbances, he said, had lasted much longer than had been expected. Not in a Day or Two
''This requires time, patience and coordination of forces,'' Mr. Rabin said earlier in the day during a visit to the army headquarters in Gaza, adding: ''This is not something to be solved in a day, and not two days. Don't stand with your stopwatches; we will achieve our purposes.''
The decision to send in more troops was made late Saturday night, after one of the worst days of disturbances, at a meeting attended by Mr. Rabin; the army Chief of Staff, Gen. Dan Shomron; the commander of the area, Gen. Yitzhak Mordechai, and the Gaza administrator, Shmuel Goren.
In a front-page commentary in the newspaper Haaretz today, Zeev Schiff, the daily's respected military analyst, said that the stepped-up demonstrations in the Gaza Strip constituted a new Palestinian strategy to which the army, the security forces and political leaders have no answer yet.
''Although the Israeli Defense Force is in military control of the area, it is clear that whoever sought to bring Gaza to the verge of an uprising has succeeded,'' Mr. Schiff wrote. ''It is also clear that this time the demonstrators are organized and it was therefore a mistake to guarantee that tranquility in the territories was in the offing.'' Curfew in Refugee Centers
The authorities also ordered Bir Zeit University in the occupied West Bank closed for a month. Officials said it was to forestall planned demonstrations.
But in the Gaza Strip, the stone-throwing and other demonstrations continued throughout the crowded refugee centers where most of the strip's 650,000 Palestinians live, and by nightfall most of these districts had been put under curfew, according to the Israeli radio. Under the curfew, the residents were not allowed outside their houses.
An additional infantry brigade was reported to have been sent into the Gaza Strip, which was already being patrolled by elite troops of the airborne Givati and Golani brigades, by soldiers of the armored corps and by the paramilitary border police. Reporters in the area saw troops coming in aboard red-and-white civilian buses.
The army maintained that the Gaza Strip was open to journalists today, but correspondents in the area found themselves restricted to the main highway, with the refugee centers and other embattled districts declared closed military zones. Troops in the area produced legal forms enabling them to order areas closed off. A Register of Bullet Wounds
At Shifa Hospital in the city of Gaza, the register showed 39 Palestinians admitted with bullet wounds during the day, and United Nations relief workers said that at least 50 people had been wounded throughout the Gaza Strip. Many of the wounded are not going to hospitals for fear that they will be arrested by the army, and are instead being treated in makeshift clinics in the refugee centers.
Doctors at the hospital said tonight that Toukan Mussabah, a 35-year-old Palestinian, died after being shot during a confrontation in the Shajaiye district of Gaza.
Earlier, the Israeli radio reported that Ismail Abu Louli, a 53-year-old Palestinian, died today of bullet wounds sustained four weeks ago in the village of Rafa, on the Egyptian border.
In addition, relatives and the Palestine Press Service, an Arab-run news agency, reported that a pregnant woman, Wijdan Fares, 35, of Khan Yunis, died in the hospital after being overcome by tear gas in her home. The Khan Yunis refugee zone has been a center of fighting and has been sealed off by the army for nearly a week.
Widespread clashes were reported, from the village of Rafa in the southern end of Gaza to the Jabaliya refugee camp in the north. There were also demonstrations throughout the West Bank and several incidents in Jerusalem.

I've taught my children gun safety. They know the Four Rules. I could leave any of my kids alone in a room with a gun and know they won't touch it. But I don't. Why would I? The universe is full of ridiculous random shit. For example, "Justin Stanfield Thomas, 35, along with his son, traveled from Phoenix to Prescott Valley south of Flagstaff on Friday for a surprise visit to a friend's home. The young boy quickly found a loaded .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun, asked a question about it and pulled the trigger, Prescott Valley police Sgt. Brandon Bonney said." At the very least, it's a double fail: a child old enough to ask questions about guns—who wasn't instructed about gun safety—messing with the firearm of a sleeping owner who didn't secure his weapon whilst in the Land of Nod. It could have been you . . .
More than a few of our readers have admitted that they stash loaded firearms around the house so they can access a gat in an emergency—while still keeping the weapon safe from unintentional use. Again, double fail.
The vast majority of gun owners are not Conan the Barbarian. Any violent "action" in their home is not going to be a mano-a-mano close quarters battle to the death (domestic disputes excepted). It will be, as Thomas Hobbes would put it, nasty, brutish and short.
A gun owner's best strategy for defeating a home invader is the same as it is for any gun fight: land telling shots before the bad guy or guys disable or destroy you. (Either that or escape.) Quick access is key. No matter what caliber cartridge you bring to bear, no matter what level of marksmanship you can muster, the faster you get your gun into play the greater your odds of survival.
What could be faster than having a gun on your person? What could be safer? A safe, obviously. But a gun safe isn't a safe place for your gun when you really, really need it. So . . . home carry. Small gun, pocket carry. Big gun, holster carry. Comfort, not caliber, is critical. If your rig is uncomfortable you won't carry it.
Ah, but what if you're asleep?
Although you can nap in the arms of Morpheus with a gun in your holster or pocket, a quick access small safe is a better bet for a proper sleep cycle and quick access. That said, how quick is quick? As Sgt. Brandon Bonney says, "We're still responsible for our weapons. But do we require people to lock them up all the time no matter what, which might defeat the purpose of home defense?"
No, we shouldn't "require" gun owners to do anything. We should require them to be held accountable for their actions. That said, I believe a gun should either be on your hip or in a safe. The trick to maintaining control of your weapon whilst asleep, showering or performing other "gun free" activities at home: put it in a safe and secure the perimeter.
The tragedy above could have been avoided if the gun owner had secured his house—regardless of where he'd stored his firearm. If Mr. Thomas' snoozing friend had received a heads-up that someone was entering his home he could have secured his firearm. Which should have been secured anyway but you know what I mean.
Switching that principle around for self-defense, if you know someone's trying to gain access into your house you have time to get your gun, whether that's on your hip or in a safe.
Lock your doors and windows when you're napping, showering, whatever. Set your perimeter alarm. [NB: some key-fob activated systems emit a high-pitched squeal before the alarm goes off, giving you time to stand down if, say, a BFF and his son walk in unannounced.] Dogs have provided an intruder alert long before Bezerk seared that phrase into Baby Boomer's brains.
It's not that hard to maintain control of your weapon for everyone's safety. You simply have to create common sense gun safety habits and stick with them at all times. The upside: peace of mind. The downside of not following suitable storage protocol? It's too horrible to contemplate. Which should not stop you from doing so, lest Lady Luck make your life endless misery.
32 Responses to Self-Defense Tip: Maintain Control of Your Weapon at All Times
But, uh… hey! What should be the approach for someone who's gotten old enough that sleep cycles are basically random and without recognizable structure?
Have a dog. If you're home, lock the doors. Home carry if comfortable, a safe nearby if not.
I wouldn't think of having my primary carry gun anywhere but on me. It amazes me how many people tell me they have guns "hidden" in their home.
I concur. Carry gun on me while I'm awake, a closet quick-access rifle safe for a long gun, and a bedside quick-access handgun safe for my carry gun while I'm sleeping.
I think this is a bogus story. 1 shot from a .380 took down this healthy looking man? I've been told repeatedly by expert commentators on TTAG that nothing short of a .45 will do that.
A .380 won't take out a bad guy in time but a .22 will kill a good guy… some kind of screwed up rule of the universe I've seen.
Well damn.. Just because you say it that makes it true.
Heh. A .380 may not reliably kill an attacker, but you can drown in a puddle given the right combination of unlucky circumstances. You still shouldn't surround your house with puddles and feel safe.
You gotta be careful. . . for a second, there, my sarcasm meter didn't go off.
However, what you say is true. Shoot someone with a .45 in the pinkie, and they spin around in a pink mist and fall stone-effing-dead out of sheer ballistic manliness. A .380 bullet can usually be plucked from the outer skin layer with tweezers, or squeezed out like a pimple. This poor guy must've been shot through the eye, or ear, or something.
do you wear a gun when you fuk?
Depends on who I'm fvcking.
One should always practice safe sex!
From Austin Powers:
Vanessa Kensington: Well, did you use protection?
Austin Powers: Of course. I had my 9mm automatic.
. . . or if they happen to agree with what you're doing. [Lightning bolt strike in five. . . four. . . ]
Maintain Control of Your Weapon at All Times. The only way to avoid a lifetime of child support.
I opted for blanks many years ago. . .
Yea, I saw that. What a tragedy. My weapon is either on my person, in the safe or on my nightstand behind locked doors. And yes, I am 100% responsible for my weapon.
What if you home carry AND you have something strategically placed?
I have mine on my desk next to me-but so far, the wife and I haven't had kids yet. once we do-our guns will be locked up, or holstered on our belts.
RF. Real common sense rocks! Intruders don't like barking dogs especially those that might be backed up by an armed homeowner.
We have three Golden Retrievers. Sweet dogs, who make for a very good early warning system. Young male Golden, particularly would convince anyone coming to the door that he would rip a throat out. I don't depend on them to protect me. They do depend on me to protect them, if need arose.
I said it before and I'll say it again for anyone who missed it. You can have the best of both worlds: extremely quick, guaranteed access and security from children. How? Install a shelf above your bed near the ceiling and place your home defense firearm up there when you are sleeping. No one is going to access that firearm without standing on your bed which will awaken you. And no child will be able to reach it even if they stand on the bed. Further, if the shelf is large enough, the firearm will not even be visible to children's eyes. They will not curiously try to grab something that they cannot see which, along with the fact that they cannot reach it, makes it a pretty secure location for showers as well. And yet your home defense firearm is available for immediate access if needed — and you won't have to waste any time trying to open a safe in the middle of the night.
If your home defense firearm is always on your person (except showers and sleeping of course), then that shelf near the ceiling is all you need. If you leave your home defense firearm at home and go away for the day, it would be really good idea to take it off the shelf and put it in a safe.
I dunno. Fine, security through obscurity and all that, but I'm not sure I could stand up, balance and stretch on my bed to retrieve my firearm any faster or more reliably than a mechanical quick-access safe.
Yes, control your weapons. Also, teach your kids about guns. Start early.
Lots of kids think we're all just really cartoons and video game characters that respawn instantly.
At 3, my daughter knew enough to know not to touch guns and to tell an adult if she encounters one.
Make guns a normal thing. Let them see when you clean them. Explain how they work. Practice saying "BOOM" really loudly to get their attention.
Sadly, this tragedy was avoidable in many ways.
"It could have been you . . ."
No it couldn't. I have young kids, and other young kids visit the house, so my weapons are secured at all times. No exceptions, no "I'll just put it down for a minute, they're all upstairs anyway", etc. I don't leave power tools or sharp knives laying around either.
I concur. I have 1 firearm outside of lockbox on the headboard. The kids don't know the combo.I keep a Para double stack on me or nearby, 17 round mag, chamber empty. I can rack that slide, the wife can, kids cannot. I have a 1.5 year old and a 4 year old. They both know not to touch daddy's monster-getter and the 4 year old even goes finger safe on his nerf guns! It's not that hard! I took my 4 year old out to my private range and taught him all the NRA/range /firearm rules. He has to recite them before he can come out with daddy. He has shot my Kimber .45, under STRICT (read, it never left MY control) supervision. He understands firearms, and there's no mystery. He also doesn't run into the street, either. he has been given rules and why they are there. Don't run into the street because you might get hit by a car, and mommy and daddy love you and want you to be safe. I keep my shop closed so the kids don't go out there and get hurt too. We had a cop near here who left his two kids in a mini-van with his revolver in the cupholder. He came back after the shot to a deceased daughter. He gets to live with that. His son gets to live with that. I can access my firearm, take it out of the retention holster and rack the slide quickly enough. I have a perimiter fence, 2 Rotties and sensors, as well as motion alarm cameras out in the country. Why? My family is worth it. So is keeping my boys from ever having to deal with the lifelong trauma of having shot a family member by accident. It's not just firearms, it's cars, lawnmowers, sharp stuff in the shop, poisons, etc. I am ever vigilant to keep 2 innocent little boys from ever accidentally hurting themselves or others. They are my everything.
I'm just shocked that the CNN article I read on this incident said "The kid shot his dad" instead of the standard "The gun went off" or "The gun fired accidentally" or "Somehow the gun discharged".
One of the most safest methods is to teach and to educate the children, what it is and let them get involved, let them shoot the weapons, show them this is not a toy and to respect the weapon. No different than teaching them to drive. They are all grown up now. All my weapons that are not in safe are loaded. Empty guns kill people, I do not have strangers in my home and my friends know me and respect my rules.

These plastic wine glasses are great for caterings and parties. We use them for wine and desserts and they look really good. It's one-piece so makes it so much easier and looks better when serving wines at parties.
Priyank V. from Rupa Vira's The Signature Posted on 08/14/2017
The glasses are perfect. They are just as described. I ordered for my grandson baby shower. I know the glasses will show off the table arrangement.
Rhonda T. from Rhonda Talbot Posted on 08/13/2017
Used for an elegant but on a budget large event, we were extremely please. It held the perfect amount to drink and did not stain, so it was easy to use for refills. A plus is that it, also, matches with the Fineline Flairware clear plastic plates very well.
Tiffany J. Posted on 05/18/2017
There's no doubt this wine goblet fit perfectly into this picture scene. Plastic glassware was very convenient and safe for all guests. A great choice hands down to go along with our beautiful set up.
I am excited to find this as I need this for the wedding. This will be used for wine or champagne toast during the reception
Ninotchka P. from nino Posted on 11/16/2016
We bought these for my daughter's wedding which will be in a barn. They are very durable and a folded napkin fits perfectly in them. Highly recommended.
Dawn D. Posted on 07/16/2016

Very well constructed and beautiful on my table. I used them for a dinner party with friends. I would order a set of these again
Miriam C. from Louisiana Specialty Products Posted on 11/06/2015
We don't order plastic cups much. However, the Fineline Flairware 2209 8oz. Clear Plastic Wine Goblet was a good buy. Used for wine tasting. Went over well with clients.
Carol C. Posted on 07/22/2015
I was really happy to see this product. I recommended to everybody. I purchase to set up my daughter's sweet 15 party tables and they look wonderful.
Sandra T. Posted on 04/05/2015
I'm using these for my wedding reception. We wanted to find glasses that would hold up to several servings of wine and not fall apart like the cheap 2-piece glasses found at party stores. These are sturdy enough to be used all night and look just as fancy as real wine stems.
Mia S. Posted on 03/11/2015
These Wine Goblets are wonderful. I am so surprised at the look. I will be ordering more soon. I do recommend these goblets for anyone looking for that near real look and needing to do it at a reasonable price.
Shawnette A. from ANCRUM ACCESSORIES Posted on 10/07/2014
I bought about 12 items from the Webstaurant store for my wedding coming up in August, and this product has been my favorite so far. Since our wedding is multinational, I realized that we had to provide toasting glasses since toasting is an essential part of a Chinese reception dinner. While I was in China, I noticed that the toasting glasses were typically small, so at first I was tempted to buy a much smaller toasting glass in order to save money. However, since this wedding is in America, I felt that many people would want to drink out of a more substantial wine glass. This glass is an ample size, perfect for those who want to drink a whole glass of wine before asking for more. These Goblets have a pretty wavy-scroll design going around the glass making them appear more expensive. I am so happy that I believe these glasses will hold up well to use and may even survive a couple of washings before we throw them away.
Guojin H. Posted on 07/29/2014
These 1 piece plastic wine glasses are fantastic! Heavy-duty and they look great. We used these for a high school alumni event and we received many compliments on these glasses. Will definitely order again.
Kim R. Posted on 05/25/2014
These wine glasses were a hit with my guests. The capacity and quality are perfect! I am so glad I found them here on webstaurantstore.com.
Barbara A. Posted on 09/03/2013
I was very pleased to order a plastic wine goblet that didn't fall apart.Thtis was my first product and I will continue to order more.
Sharon M. from Jasnell Creations Posted on 05/29/2013
This is a beautiful, heavy duty disposable glass that will be perfect for our silver anniversary party! I especially like the wide glass for red wines.
Cheryl T. Posted on 05/23/2013
These are very elegant plastic wine goblets that can be used for a variety of beverages! They are especially nice for a formal setting with an economy budget.
Neema B. from New Era Services Posted on 04/22/2013
My favorite plastic wine glasses I've found so far. The strong plastic makes for durable goblets, but they are also very attractive. My guests seemed pleased with them.
David M. from Professor Cocktail Posted on 01/29/2013
great service piece the quality was excellent durable the quality the client love it the guests complimented it makes the drinks looks spectacular and great buy
Stacy J. from Lera's Cakes & Catering Posted on 01/17/2012
These are very nice sturdy looking wine glasses. For plastic, they are not the thin plastic that cracks or tips over easily. They are elegant looking and wide enough for red wine drinkers to swirl their wine. We wanted plastic instead of glass for our outdoor 40th wedding anniversary celebration this July. They are very reasonably priced compared to the restaurant supply stores here. I highly recommend The Webstaurantstore.
Betha O. Posted on 05/03/2011
We ordered these plastic wine glasses for a wine event, and they were a hit! The 8 oz glass was ample, so people were happy with their amount of wine, and I didn't have to do dishes!
