TriArc's TSR-15-SE-556-139-BLK Custom Builder Service Rifle is an expertly balanced weapon that does not compromise on quality. TriArc built this rifle around their signature 2.0 TRACK barrel, making it one of the toughest and most reliable firearms on the market.
The weapon's balanced profile TRACK barrel is a hybrid form of standard and polygonal rifling which reduces bullet deformation, allowing it to move in a straighter line towards the desired target. Additionally, the tighter seal significantly reduces any forward escaping gases, causing minimal loss of gas pressures and increasing the overall accuracy of the bullet.
The rifle's durable 4150 Chrome Lined barrel is 13.9" with a permanently attached pinned muzzle device, lengthening it to 16". The barrel has a 1:7 twist rate and is chambered for 5.56MM.
The service rifle features a Mid-Length Gas Operated System and a Geissele Stainless Steel Super Gas Block with a .750" diameter and set, screwed and pinned. The Geissele Stainless Steel Super Gas Block is extremely durable and designed to be corrosion resistant. It also uses set screws and a gas block to hold it in place on the rifle.
The rifle features Dead Air Armament 5.56MM Key Mount Muzzle Brake so end users will experience minimal concussion and can be quickly attached to Dead Air Armament suppressors.
The weapon's Geissele 13" Super Modular MK14-LOK Rail offers gun owners a slimmer design, creating a tried and trusted platform. The rail itself is made from 6061-T6 Aluminum, making it durable yet lightweight. End users also have the option of customizing their rifle by mounting lights, bipods, and other accessories to the rail.
The SanTan Tactical STT-15 Billet upper and lower receiver is crafted from hard-wearing American aluminum and is able to accommodate any shooter because of its ambidextrous feature. Whether the gun owner is right or left handed, this feature allows end users to function well in any tactical situation.
The TSR-15 SE service rifle also features a finely-tuned Geissele Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced SSA-E Two Stage Trigger that offers superior control and accuracy. This specific trigger is the ultimate choice for end users looking for a smooth take-up and crisp 2nd stage break.
The rifle's Radian NP3 Raptor Ambidextrous Charging Handle allows the end user to perform rapid palm blading or finger thumb charges in a more fluid motion from either their strong or support side. Because of the NP3 coating, the charging handle is easier to clean and remains protected in any harsh environment.
Designed with a sleek modern profile, the service rifle's Magpul SL Stock/Buttstock is an added plus for the weapon. This particular stock features a sloping cheek weld and anti-slip surface, ensuring a more comfortable fit and smooth transition on the range or in any tactical situation.
The TSR-15 SE also features an ergonomic MOE Grip that is textured and anti-slip. The hand fit MOE Grip is simple, yet highly functional and able to endure any harsh elements.
The TriArc TSR-15 SE service rifle is coated with Type III Hard Coat Anodized, making it abrasion resistant and extremely long-lasting. Finally, TriArc's experienced armorers have crafted and modified this service rifle to endure any environment, making it a weapon gun owners can trust for years to come.

Ben 10: Alien Force
After the apparent failure of the experiment, the base was abandoned, its thick stone walls restricting access to the ghost town within. In present times, young hooligans, (such as Kevin) come to the town outskirts in order to drag race and graffiti the town's stone walls.
The Highbreed located their operation to the same site for the large deposits of crystal quartz. It also became the site of the resistance lead by Ben and his extended team during the events of War of the Worlds.
Ben 10: Ultimate Alien
Los Soladad's current condition in the new series is the same as it was in Alien Force. Ben uses it as an extended base for dealing with aliens as evident that they trapped Ra'ad there while they interrogated him on why he attacked Ben.
In Map of Infinity, most of the base was destroyed when Ben battled Aggregor. Los Soledad appeared in Absolute Power: Part 2, where Ultimate Echo Echo battles and defeats Kevin.

- Los Soledad is the place where Professor Paradox's time experiment occurred and where he was 'unstuck' from time allowing him to exist outside of time, making him immortal.
- "Los Soledad" is Spanish for the Loneliness.
- It was the site for several battles in Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien.
- Professor Paradox revealed that whenever he time travels to a place, the fabric of space-time there becomes thinner and due to this, it is "paper-thin" there.

Fin Wild runs the Cuillin Ridge sub 3 hours
Here's my article that appear in the Sunday Mail about Finlay Wild, who has broken his own record for traversing the mighty Cuillin Ridge. He ran this epic climb in less than three hours. This seems unbelievable to anyone who is an ordinary mountain walker/climber.
I write an outdoors column every week in the Sunday Mail (you might like to buy the newspaper or get the app).

Among the ripple of predictions that have waved their way across the media, there have been rumours of an increase in stamp duty, as well as a counter drop in Capital Gains Tax (CGT) for buy-to-let landlords selling to tenants.
However, what I believe the housing market and landlords really need from the Budget is a period of calm, giving us space to understand how the recent changes will play out.
Particularly at a time when economic uncertainty looms over the nation in the form of Brexit, any further changes would not only complicate the situation but would potentially also slow the property market.
Paralyse the market
Broadly speaking, a rise in stamp duty would paralyse an already poorly-functioning sector. While the tax is useful for the market to minimise transaction costs in a way which would allow homeowners to upsize or downsize, the recent 3% addition has really hit investment in the buy-to-let sector and continues to hugely impact rents.
This is turn affects tenants, especially as wages have not significantly increased to maintain levels of affordability.
The cost of living and renting must grow in line with demand, and an increase in stamp duty would push us further away from this ideal, making it more difficult for landlords and tenants in an already challenging economic climate.
CGT cut
In contrast, a potential cut in CGT could improve the property market for both landlords and tenants by incentivising the former to rent their properties to a single tenant or group of tenants for longer than three years.
Currently landlords must pay a tax of up to 28% on profits when they sell a property – the new idea suggested by Conservative think-tank Onward instead allows the landlord and tenant(s) to split the profits equally.
However, at an estimated cost of £1.3bn a year, the money could probably be spent better in other ways.
Refurb tax relief
Despite recent changes in the sector, the housing shortage continues to be a major problem.
While an obvious solution is to build more houses, I believe tax relief should also be awarded to property-owners looking to increase the supply of housing through refurbishment.
More than simply having enough properties to meet demand, it is important that all buy-to-let properties are in a condition suitable for renting.
Not all available housing meets this standard and an update to the current stock would undoubtedly have a much quicker impact on tenant demand than building new homes from scratch.
It would also improve the cleanliness and appearance of the wider community in a way which would likely increase the overall desirability of the area.
The Autumn Budget is an opportunity for the government to provide the housing market with a much-needed period of calm.
As the changes play out however, government should consider more ways of incentivising landlords and providing a relief in tax to improve the overall movement of the market.

Something happened this week in the Czech Republic.
World Championships for all the nordic disciplines – jumping, nordic combined, and straight-up cross-country – were held in Liberec over the last week. Why are these races more important than regular World Cup races? Added bragging rights, and because everyone shows up. When there's a World Cup in North America, many Europeans skip it, and we can't afford to field full teams for races across the pond.
On one of the first days of competition, Lindsey Van won the first ever women's ski jumping world championship. Then in three nordic combined events, Todd Lodwick and Bill Demong combined for four medals including every available gold.
This was an incredibly impressive performance by the Americans. At one point we were leading the overall medal count, which was unprecedented.
But Demong and Lodwick each have multiple World Cup victories under their belts. What about the last of the nordic disciplines competing in the Czech Republic, my own sport, plain nordic?
Since the last Olympics, sprinters Kikkan Randall, Torin Koos, and Andy Newell have exactly a handful of World Cup podiums between them, including one win. There were no comparable results for distance skiers, and this was an improvement over the preceding Olympic cycle.
American skiing hasn't been much competition for the Scandinavians, the Russians, the Italians, the French, or, well, the Europeans in general over the last years. Even Canada had Becky Scott, who narrowly missed bagging the season-long World Cup overall title a few years ago, and Chandra Crawford, who won gold in the last Olympic sprint.
It's not that our skiers aren't fast. As an athlete at my level, it feels a little bit like blasphemy to say that they are less than the best. They have shown flashes of brilliance, teasing the community with hints of what they could do on a regular basis. But they have often left us asking, why can't they take that next step?
In Liberec's opening race, Randall posted her best-ever distance result, 26th. The next day Kris Freeman finished 4th in a 15k race, less than two seconds out of a medal. In the pursuit, Liz Stephen finished 15th.
Then came the sprint. Randall won a silver medal. Newell was 12th – good, but after Randall's performance, overshadowed.
The long-distance races are always saved for last at events like this. In the 30k, Stephen finished 17th, followed by Morgan Arritola in 22nd.
These results are a leap forward; for the last decade, our culture has been steeped in inferiority and cautious optimism. It's a culture of "maybe they'll finally do it this time." To a skier like me, it's a culture of "if I'm this weak against an American field, I would be terrible compared to the Euros."
So, while my coach Cami Thompson has been quoted as saying "I don't think it's unbelievable at all, they've been moving toward this for years," the fact that they finally got there is extremely exciting.
Indeed, to some these results might feel like a proclamation: we have arrived. Maybe we can't fund a full team for the World Cup circuit, but when Americans show up, they mean business.
As lower-level skiers, maybe we're not the small fish in the smallest pond. Maybe we're small fish in a normal pond where the big fish might just be the best of all of them.
To make sure that I wasn't completely misinterpreting the situation, I turned to my Dartmouth teammate Rosie Brennan, who is a member of the U.S. Ski Team.
Rosie competes for Dartmouth, but she spends some of her time training with Stephen and Arritola and their coaches. Do their results give her more confidence in her own skiing?
"Watching the results come in day after day from Worlds has without a doubt given me inspiration and some level of confidence that what we are doing is working," said Brennan. "Sooner or later I can be there too."
But, she continued, "It brings mixed feelings. Sometimes I tell myself, they are over there killing it, I can totally be in there too. Other times I think, well I'm not over there and they clearly just made a huge step up in their level of skiing while I'm still here."
Brennan won Friday's Eastern college championship 5k by over a minute, so she's obviously not slowing down even though she's stuck in the United States. But her comments serve as a reminder of the recent development strategy for outstanding young athletes.
Stephen is my age and started racing exactly the same year I did, when we were both sophomores in high school. I remember meeting her at my very first Eastern Cup race that year. She finished second; I finished second to last.
Stephen and Arritola – one year her senior – have had very disciplined developments as racers. Despite being two of the best skiers in the country, they were not pushed into World Cup competition. Instead, the U.S. Ski Team focused on teaching them to race in Europe before teaching them to race the World Cup in Europe. It obviously worked.
So it makes sense that Brennan has some regret that she wasn't joining them in Europe, and was instead stuck decimating the college field. But some day, she'll be there too. Brennan is aiming for the Olympics, and if she makes it, these results will give her more confidence to go for it instead of just feeling lucky to be there. Now she's even more sure that she and her teammates would have "a good chance of getting some good results."
In the end, does anything change for the small fish like me? Probably not. But it gives us something to get excited about.

When she started this project, the donated socks were distributed at Missions Services and provided a Christmas present of socks and personal care items for the Men's Mission clients during the Christmas season. The project has grown so much that now supplies last until July. So far this year 6,500 Joyful Socks have been collected.

Here's a second helping of APZDTISA – or Ask Project Zomboid Developers The Indie Stone Anything – to titillate and/or delight. Thank you so much for everyone's questions there really were some crackers in there, thus the need to spread it over two Mondoids!
When in multiplayer and in melee combat with another player can the other player or yourself be knocked down and then pummeled until they die or will it remain a swing fest?
BINKY: We'd prefer it to be done in the way which is the most satisfying to play. We will be expanding the range of combat animations which will open up some possibilities for the way combat works generally. For example getting a greater sensation of impact, and providing for exhausting but adrenaline-fuelled pummeling. Stuff like that would be awesome.
Will bladed weapons, or weapons in general, ever get stuck inside a zombie I just downed?
BINKY: That would be cool. But I couldn't confirm either way at this stage. It certainly sounds like the sort of thing we'd be tempted to try out though.
Are there currently any feasible plans to release the expanded modding tools (particularly a model/skin editor) to the community in the near future?
BINKY: Well, modding the 3D characters is as easy now as swapping a texture. More fundamental changes however, actual mesh alterations, would be a bit finicky as our tool-chain stands right now. Not impossible, but a pain in the arse. If we can find some way to make this more straight-forward for modding, we will do that.
Once PZ is completed, would you ever consider bringing it to consoles as a downloadable game?
LEMMY: We're asked this a lot, and the answer is that we'd love to do this. However we made the game in Java so as to make it cross platform on desktop machines, so it would essentially need a full rewrite to appear on consoles. If this were to happen it would be too much work for our team, so we would require outside help from a publisher, or be able to pay an external company of some kind. The likelihood of that depends entirely on how PZ goes in future, so we'll see!
Will there be a possibility to craft crude tools like a wooden hammer or some kind of essentials at a greatly reduced effectiveness?
LEMMY: This is definitely planned, however at the moment having to locate specific items, as well as get backups, by looting is a large part of the gameplay and to allow crafting of these would make looting a lot less interesting as well as drag a lot of late game stuff too early and eat up a large part of the progression in the game. We do agree it's needed but it's trying to find a way to do it that feels fair but not too OP. (Another possibility is that with the introduction of NPCs it will stir up the gameplay enough that craftable tools feel less OP anyway.)
We've got so many different ways to acquire food now, but we currently lack any method of preserving it, so we risk losing out on excess food supplies if we farm, fish, or hunt too much. What plans do you have for food preservation, to prevent such quandaries? And what plans do you have to make use of food that has rotted? A compost heap would be awesome.
ROMAIN: A good chef can already use some part of the rotten food, for preservation, I need to make some research, but jar, cans or even salt could be a good way to preserve food a bit. I guess I need to ask my grandmother how she preserves her delicious tomatoes and other vegetables. :p
Are there any plans for nighttime downtime in multiplayer? In a normal game your character would 'sleep' but in multiplayer there's not much to do other than hide in a closet and take a break from the game.
ROMAIN: Sleeping is planned as a server option, just like Minecraft. When everyone sleeps time will go faster – just as in single player. So that would be the plan for a small co-op server, but taking a nap is also planned on bigger multiplayer servers.
Are there any plans to overhaul the fatigue system to account for long-term fatigue, rather than just immediate fatigue?
ROMAIN: A fatigue overhaul isn't on my list right now, but it's definitely been at the back of my mind for a while now. The build-up of fatigue over long period would be a good addition. We will need to add sleeping/naps in multiplayer first though, so players can have a rest, eat food and drink coffee – which would then have an impact on the fatigue.
How 'real like' will the NPC's be, for example will they even have different personalities, if you will, and will they react differently?
LEMMY: Very much so, this is pretty much the key mechanic of the NPCs. They have a set of character traits, of which their traits all tend to bleed into each other. A character may be aggressive, cruel and devious and all these traits would both affect any choices they make at any point, as well as affect their opinions and relationships with other NPCs. So an aggressive, cruel and devious person may be an extremely dangerous and explosive elements to add to your safehouse.
Of course every NPC's list of traits are in a random order too. This determines how obvious those traits are from your first impression, or having to know the person well before it becomes apparent. So some traits may be buried deep in the NPC's psyche, while still affecting their decisions and opinions, others are unlikely to know about it before it's too late.
How will we get to see the seasons? For example in winter, will the tiles slowly turn white via a shader / overlay texture, will there be actual winter animations, will the clothing and other visuals on people turn into a snowy texture?
As it currently stands, the snow will appear at some point overnight, but we'll look into adding some snowing animations (similar to the rain) 🙂 It would look a bit strange if tiles just turned white, and since all the tiles are 2D-based, adding snow incrementally would require sprites for each stage which would require a lot of time for little payoff.
Do you plan on overhauling the wilderness? I don't care if the world is flat but I would enjoy some big trxees with canopies that we can walk under. For too long we have been slowed down by trees.
There is a wilderness overhaul planned, however tree canopies present some technical problems involving how "floors" disappear and how to do this without making the trees look terrible. So, it would be nice to have, but it's lower down the priority list than other aspects of map development.
How big do you plan the main map to become?
Pretty big! You can read more about it here.
Thanks for all the spiffin' questions, and a special thank you to Brybry for reporting some nasty MP security bugs! Normal Mondoid services shall recommence next week ; )

[ U ]JoeyT_ replied to RNG187's topic in MoviesYeah, Nolan is amazing. The way the whole thing flowed was just fabulous. I'm contemplating driving down to st louis to see it in imax.
Yes I read it. And I am serious. I obviously didn't mean all parents, I know mine were great because they asked questions and didn't just ignore everything I did. I'm not saying all parents ignore their kids, I doubt most parents on UF do, but come on it's not the worst thing. This is no different than being carded at a R rated movie. This is for parents that DONT CARE.
Lol I don't understand why you guys care so much about this topic. I'm glad a state finally has the balls to put their foot down. In their eyes, they see it as someone has to look out for the kids since most parents don't. Sucks for the 16 and 17 year olds over there but that's life. At least it's a start, I know you guys just LOVE when kids are in games with you and have no idea what's going on. And they always talk shit in their "my balls haven't dropped yet" high voices. I'm not saying I hate kids, but when I get on SOCOM the last thing I want to do is work with someone that gives me a headache whenever the click their mic. One other thing is how will they enforce it. No doubt it will turn into entering info from a drivers license into the computer. Illinois passed a no texting/emailing while driving and even that's hard as shit to enforce. Parent's aren't doing their jobs so that's why the state feels it needs to step in. And it's not like the governor wrote the bill. This just forces parents to be more involved. If Johney 14 year old want's a game, mom or dad will have to get off their ass and get out of the car and buy it. And they'll have to listen to a rant about why the game is rated the way it is. And maybe they'll think wow...my kid is too young for this shit. Or "I need to get more involved cause I don't know about this game."

[ U ]JoeyT_ replied to GeneralSarcasm's topic in General DiscussionYeah I'm really digging my 720s. They're not as comfortable as my old Turtle Beach headset but I have been more than satisfied with them. The only reason mine broke was because I stepped on them in the dark and broke one of the earpieces off. They last quite a while. Longer than the controllers anyway (because they don't get thrown and hammered into the ground >)
Congrats [ U ] on the Black Championship

Lost Discussion Thread *** Warning, Episode Spoiler ***
[ U ]JoeyT_ replied to IRISH BULL's topic in TVNo, I don't think Jacob is the son of God, because Richard asked him if he could forgive him of his sin, and Jacob said no. And I don't think they are all in hell because it was the man in black trying to deceive Richard.
Lost Discussion Thread *** Warning, Episode Spoiler ***
[ U ]JoeyT_ replied to IRISH BULL's topic in TVWell, after last nights show I have no idea what to think. Who the hell was that kid that Dark Lock saw, but Richard didn't? and then Sawyer saw him too. Never thought about the alien concept, but it could make sense, but honestly I don't think it's that complicated. I almost want to go back and rewatch some episodes from the second season, I believe, where Ben talks to Ethan and the other "spy" to make lists for the people they were supposed to take. I think that, dispite some episodes that were a little off, they have had a general plan the entire time. Which is why, in the first season, Richard visits Lock as a kid, and in Season 2 or 3 Lock tells Richard to go see him as a child to see if he is ready to be their leader. Also, Lock has always had a thing for the monster. He stared right into it in S1, then at the end of that season he wanted to be pulled underground by the monster. Hopefully next week they'll get back to what happens to Sayid. One additional thought that I'm sure will be important: they have been talking about ash alot regarding Jacob, since the 4th season. The chick from the plan that was in charge bagged some of Jacobs ashes, weird that he burned completely; that fire was pretty small, nowhere near hot enough to break down bones, but Jacob was all gone...

[ U ]JoeyT_ replied to jdub240's topic in XBOXI was having the same issue dude, there are a ton of different options and opinions on how to fix it all over the net, but if you just picked up a xbox it will come with some sort of warranty, possibly one still through MS. They replaced mine for no cost, and now it works with all of my games that didn't work before. Here is the direct link, just log in with your 360 name and pass, register it if you haven't already, and you will see if you still have a warranty. http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/nxe/LiveIDSignIn.aspx?redirectUrl=http://support.xbox.com/support/en/us/nxe/registerdevice.aspx?step=repair

[ U ]JoeyT_ replied to [ U ]JoeyT_'s topic in PlaystationWell that sucks. I really didn't like the demo so thought I'd save $60.
NCAA 10 Online Dynasty
[ U ]JoeyT_ posted a topic in PlaystationSup guys, right now we are in the middle of Week 1, Season 2 of our Online Dynasty. We would like to open it up to this community. It's still early enough (if MIwanski hasn't advanced it yet) to get in the first week so you aren't potentially behind. It isn't custom schedules, you can be any team except for Nebraska Miami Michigan and Maryland. We'll wait a bit to give people time to get in, but after that we will be doing about 3 weeks a week, IE Tuesday Thursday Sunday. Please post up any questions on here or send me a PM or IM. Also, a HUGE benefit to the way we have it set up is that you don't have to set a time to play with your opponent. If you play a team that no one has you play the CPU. Makes it a lot easier to get the games in.

- Snow Day
And the snow angles down like the sea,
like the sea,
making angels of the hillbilly statuary—each bale and blade, rodents frozen for spring—
the ego listening, finally, to its sent-down detail:
To be a hollow for love that longs to settle uponand not penetrate.
To be a titanwith great capacities, all I ever wished to be.
Years beached upon the edge of a childhood,
learning so little.
How kindly the snows, however late, come to motherand father me. [End Page 265]

On Thursday, October 4, 39-year old Carl Norris of Salem, MO, and 25-year old Tyler Dennison, of Bixby, were both badly injured in a multi-vehicle accident on Highway 32, 3 miles west of Bixby in Iron County.
The accident occurred at approximately 4:45 AM when Mr. Norris's 2003 Buick Regal crossed over the center line before striking Mr. Dennison's 1995 Chevrolet 1500 head on.
Neither party was wearing their safety belt at the time of the collision, and authorities are investigating whether or not this may have contributed to the extent of the injuries sustained by both men.
According to the official crash report Mr. Norris suffered serious, life threatening, injury and had to be rushed to Salem Memorial Hospital via local EMS for life saving emergency medical intervention. Mr. Dennison was also transported to Salem Memorial via EMS for further observation and treatment.
Both vehicles suffered extensive damage and had to be towed from the scene.
No other parties were injured in the collision.
The Legal Claims
Missouri and Illinois offer a widespread system of personal injury laws meant to protect parties who are injured through another party's negligent acts.
The party seeking relief will be entitled to compensation in the form of payment for any lost wages, pain and suffering, any damaged property, and any medical bills incurred as a result of the accident that are not a result of his or her own negligence.
Missouri law states that you have five (5) years to file your personal injury lawsuit, unlike Illinois law which allows only a two (2) year period, though you never want to wait that long to file a claim. Some cases require a good deal of discovery and preparation, so the sooner you contact an attorney to file the case, the better your odds of recovering everything you are owed will be.
Do I need an attorney?
Some accident victims are reluctant to hire an attorney because they think they cannot afford one. However, most personal injury attorneys, including Kevin Roach, are only paid if you receive a settlement or a verdict in your favor.
You do not pay anything up front.
Also, remember that the statistics show that people who hire a personal injury attorney usually end up receiving far more accident compensation than if they handled the case on their own – on average, 3.5 times more. The bottom line is - you will most likely receive more for your injuries by hiring an experienced and proven auto accident personal injury attorney.
Kevin Roach is one of those attorneys. He is a highly experienced and well-rated attorney who has practiced personal injury law since 2001. Kevin oversees every personal injury case to ensure that you receive the maximum financial award for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain & suffering.
If you still have questions about your car, truck, or motorcycle accident, please do not hesitate to contact Kevin Roach today for a free consultation, (866) 519-0085.

FULTON, Illinois-- Empty parking lot outside, dark windows inside, at Unity Christian School it's quiet for a Tuesday. That's because there are no students. The doors are locked and school is closed.
On Monday night the school put out a message on Facebook and on its website saying the school would be closed due to illness on Tuesday, January 23.
Unity Christian School will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2018, due to illness. We had several students out last week due to illness, but after the weekend we were missing even more today. With over 18% of our population gone today, several teachers out, and a half day scheduled for tomorrow. I have decided to encourage everyone to stay home, rest, and recover. We will continue to thoroughly disinfect the school and prepare to resume on Wednesday.
More than 18-percent of students were out sick, so the principal encouraged everyone to stay home, rest and recover.
The closing is not surprising to local pharmacists.
"With what's going on this year, not really. Schools are hubs for spreading the flu and other illnesses. It's just the way that it is," says Wagner Pharmacy President Tim Wright.
Wright says they have been constantly restocking their supply of this flu fighting med called Tamiflu.
"It's just a brace for impact, and sure enough, you don't know when, but the patients start coming. We've been doing probably between 10 to 15 prescriptions of Tamiflu on a daily basis," says Wright.
They say taking a day to sanitize the school buildings will help slow this epidemic.
"It's kind of a wily illness that's difficult to contain when it comes to trying to sanitize an entire school. You probably can't achieve 100-percent, but you can put a dent in it," says Wright.
It's an epidemic with no signs of stopping.
"I don't think it will be the end of it. I think there will be other schools in the region that are having to do so," says Wright.
Classes will resume on Wednesday, January 24.

I have decided to see what cutting carbs out of my diet will do for my IBS and general sense of well-being. Seeing as I am in Cape Town and away from my normal routine for almost 3 weeks I thought it was a good time to do this now.
I may well be eating carbs I don't know about, hidden in baby carrots or bananas, but don't tell me okay. The point is that I am not eating any obvious carbs which is enough I think.
It does make eating a little challenging – who know how basic a role carbs plays in so many meals.
Today I bought the Pick n Pay magazine Fresh Living and used one of the recipes I found.
I bought skinless, boneless chicken breasts, a small packet of feta and some pepperdews. I crumbled the feta cheese and chopped some pepperdews into it. I added one of those freebie packets on Robinson Italian Herbs paste and a bit of dried Italian herbs too. A drop of olive oil made it all stick together nicely. I sliced pockets into the chicken breasts and stuffed each with some of the mixture. They went onto a lightly greased baking tray and into a pre-heated oven at 180 degree C oven
20 minutes later I made a salad (no potatoes) and sliced 2 breasts up. And this is it
Very nice and uber filling.
Day 2 of carb free eating done and dusted. Feeling good but windy like a cowboy on beanfest night!

Well, they got married, had a child and got divorced over the course of 4 years. About 2 years after they split and her having been arrested several times, her mother put a restraining order on her. A week after that she smashed through the bedroom window of her moms apartment and strangled her mother to death. Pretty sure she is still locked up.

At university I was called a hermit once. By a boy I actually had a crush on too. On reflection I think it was his way of saying ' hey why don't you come out' but at the time I was mortified and retracted my wings in even further. Now I feel like I truly am a hermit living in a hermit village. I am not sure it suits me. I think I hermit best when surrounded by light, noise and sea. Invisible but still there. Part of a city but on my own too. Not that I want to be on my own either, it is just when put in the situation such as the one I find myself in now the hermit in me really takes hold.
The Woodlander is also a hermit so last week we made a pact that on Sundays we should try and crawl out of our caves and go exploring somewhere. No Pressure, no fuss, just get in the car with the hounds and see what we can find.
So then last Saturday night I was tucked up in bed ( my house is freezing) and I thought 'ooh I do not want to adventure on the morrow.' Funnily enough the Woodlander was having similar thoughts but then Sunday came and we decided we ought to walk, we ought to at least try.
We ended up in Alica which is in the hills between San Miniato and the sea. The Woodlander had heard there was a loop we could walk there ( My father would approve. He likes his walks to loop.) At first we couldn't find it and we even asked a few locals who nodded enthusiastically that yes ' fare la passeggiata' but couldn't tell us where to start. There was even a town map proudly explaining there was a walk but no starting point. We didn't give up though, we were hermits with a plan, so we decided that after our recent discovery of il purgatorio perhaps we should start at the cemetery and see what could be found.
The walking path of course!
The first part was uphill so after about 600 metres we decided it was tea break time and the Woodlander brought out her thermos and we discussed Princess Diana ( as one ought when drinking tea.)
We then pondered whether perhaps we had ambled far enough before deciding that probably at the top of the hill was an amazing sweep of the land that simply had to be seen. I am glad we continued up because we then passed some ancient-looking olive trees with haunting tree bones.
It seemed like the kind of place to do some wild dog interpretative dance.
Beyond the trees there was indeed a sweeping plain with views over to the ice-capped mountains. To me it looked like Patagonia and to the Woodlander -Wales, and we both agreed how wonderful it felt to be somewhere different for a moment.
The walk took longer than we had thought. Probably due to the rather early tea stop so by the time we found the path back around to the village it was turning to dusk. There were some hunters about looking for wild boar whom I waved at to be friendly ( and hopefully to frighten off any poor piggies.)

Site Interviews
Once you've made it through the first (and second) round(s) of interviewing, the company is serious about you as a candidate. The next step is a site visit. Typically, the site interview may include interviews with several company employees. Take advantage of the site visit to compare the company culture and atmosphere with your personality and work preferences.
How should I prepare?
- Keep any receipts. Most medium and large sized companies will pay your expenses.
- Research the company ahead of time. The employer will expect you to be very familiar with them.
- Study the job description and know exactly what you are interviewing for and why you want the position.
- Bring extra copies of your resume, transcripts, references, and all employer forms that you have been asked to complete.
- Bring at least five questions to ask. Develop lists of different questions tailored to who you are meeting with (e.g., you can ask a human resources representative questions about the company culture whereas you can ask a potential co-worker more detailed questions about job responsibilities). While you don't have to ask all of them different questions, remember that they will be discussing the interviews with one another so you want to have some variation.
- Be prepared to answer the same question several times. During the day you might meet with several people: your potential supervisor, co-workers and a human resources representative. They may ask you the same questions. Be enthusiastic, honest, and consistent in your answers.
- Since you have already had the initial interview you should be more familiar with the company and the position for which you are interviewing. Take time to reflect on what went well in the first interview and what you need to improve on.
- Remember that you are always being evaluated. In group activities and during meals, your ability to work with people and your "fit" in the organization is being observed.
- Know what to do if you receive an offer on the spot. In most cases, it's better to think about the offer before accepting or declining. If you do receive a verbal offer and are not ready to make a decision, ask for written confirmation and tell the company when you expect to make a decision. Maintain communication with the company.
What to Expect
How long do site interviews last?
Site interviews may last anywhere from a half day to three days (including travel time). The interview starts from the time you arrive. Generally you will be entertained at a dinner the evening before a full day of interviews, with anywhere from just one up to ten other people. A tour of the facilities is a common aspect of a site interview. Remember that the social functions and tours are an essential part of the evaluation process; do not let your guard down. Be sure to be well rested, a full day is a long time to be "on," don't appear drained or unenthusiastic.
What should I wear?
You may have to dress business casual during travel in order to make a good first impression if someone is picking you up. If you are invited to a dinner the night before, business casual attire is appropriate unless otherwise indicated. For the day of the interview, wear professional attire. If the company tells you to wear business casual clothes to the interview, choose an outfit that is dressy and classy; instead of casual, such as khakis and polo shirts. It is better to be overdressed than underdressed.
Is there testing involved?
There is a lot of variation in site interviews, especially in regards to testing. Some employers will not have any testing, while others will have a variety of assessments or tests. Common tests used by employers are: group discussions or tasks, personality and aptitude tests, quantitative tests, oral presentations, and written exercises.
What should I look for in a company and its employees during a site interview?
- Do people seem happy?
- Do people know each other's names?
- Are they enthusiastic about their work?
- Are they friendly? Do they seem helpful?
- Does this seem like a good place to work?
- Do you feel comfortable with the people and the facilities?
- Remember that the interview is a two-way street. Be observant. What is the atmosphere like? Are employees friendly? Can you see yourself working there?
- Remember to ask when you can expect to hear from the employer again. If the employer does not respond within that time, you may phone or email the person who interviewed you to ask about your status.

God's Word and Music
Recently I finished a Bible study about music. It is just a very basic study -- mostly Bible verses with only a little commentary. How much does the Bible say about music? Well, it really says quite a lot. I just did a general overview of the subject, and it took up twenty-two pages. The study was very interesting. If you would like a copy, just click on the file below to download a pdf copy of the study.
Health Update January 2019
Health Update January 2019
It's hard to believe that it has been five months since my last health update. I will try to give a brief re-cap of what has transpired during that time.
In August, I was able to get a neat kitchen gadget called a spiralizer. With Amazon gift cards and discounts, I was able to get this for almost nothing. It is a wonderful and very fun tool to use. With this, I was able to begin adding more vegetables to my diet because it was easier and faster to prepare them. Besides the need to add more vegetables, it also became apparent that I needed to cut down on fat and protein content in my diet because my liver and gallbladder were having difficulty handling it.
Sometime in August or September, my spiralizer had to be put aside for a time. I suddenly began to have even more troubles with intestinal motility. It became necessary to liquify even more foods and strain a lot of them, especially the vegetables. Soups became a regular part of my diet. Vegetables were cooked with spices and herbs and some kind of protein source, maybe a little olive oil as well. These were all whipped up in the blender and then strained.
Although the change in the way food was being prepared did help some, the terrible problems with intestinal motility continued. It was around that time that we discovered that the probiotics Mom and I were taking apparently were not working and may have even been worsening the problem. Healthy probiotic capsules should be able to make a good yogurt. However, ours did not even begin to turn into a yogurt. In fact, when they were mixed in the milk, it all settled to the bottom and became thick like starch. Is that what is really in it? Starch? The brand we were taking was Nordic Naturals, which was quite expensive. The much less expensive brand my sister takes made a very nice yogurt. It apparently has a lot of good bacteria. Needless to say, we stopped taking that probiotic that didn't seem to have any good bacteria in it. We wondered if it were actually causing some of our problems. Mom's intestinal problems were increasing as well.
After stopping the probiotic supplement, Mom and I began to make water kefir. This is easy to make and maintain, and it has seemed to help our intestinal problems the most.
In October I was able to go to a naturopathic physician. He did seem to be good and was able to help me a lot in knowing what my problems were. However, he wanted me to cut out a lot of foods. This was understandable; but, when we looked at those foods, and the ones that I had already cut out, there were hardly any foods left at all for me to be able to eat. This was especially true of protein foods.
After my doctor appointment in October, we decided to try a regimen and wait until December and retest to see if anything had changed. If this diet regimen did not work, then we would try to go back to this doctor or pray about the Lord's leading to another doctor.
The basic idea of the new regimen I am on is to "overdose on nutrition." It consists of a large amount of fruits and vegetables and is lower in fat and protein content. This, along with the probiotic water kefir really seems to be helping. Below are listed some of the positive changes that have occurred.
Positive Changes:
1. Increased intestinal motility.
This is still not where it should be, but it has improved.
2. Decreased reactions to food.
I still adversely react to many foods, but some of the reactions do not seem as severe, and it does not seem to take as long to get over them. However, they still cause setbacks in my journey to improved health.
3. Weight loss.
I have been able to lose 4 or 5 more pounds and am very excited about this. I would like to lose about 20 more, especially around the middle.
4. Lower blood pressure
My blood pressure had been averaging around 130 over 82
Now it has been around 115 over 75.
The positive changes in my health have been exciting. However, this journey has not been without its setbacks.
1. Setback when being exposed to foods I don't tolerate well
a. Meal together at Cracker Barrel (It was really yummy though)
b. Meal cooked by others
c. Accidental cross contamination when I used the same serving spoon for my stewed tomatoes that I had used for Christy's vegetables, which had green beans in them. Oops!
2. Third sinus infection in as many months.
3. Abdominal pain and trouble after a chiropractic adjustment of my low back. My hands and skin had been improving. However, after this adjustment, I had a lot of abdominal pain, and my hands became very pale again. I haven't had my ferritin tested but suspect that it has dropped again. This adds to my suspicion that whatever is keeping my intestinal tract from "moving" properly may be on the outside of the digestive tract and pressing on it. After this problem occurred, my chiropractor started using a different technique (the Thompson technique), which did not produce any more problems.
Not only are there positives and setbacks on my health journey, but there are also challenges. The blender has been a great tool for liquifying things that can be strained. However, it is a little inconvenient to use for making vegetable juice. Enter – Black and Decker juicer*. This has helped so much and has made juicing and getting more fruits and vegetables a lot easier.
*Note: This is not an advertisement or endorsement of Black and Decker. This was just the most affordable lightweight juicer we could find that had good reviews. I am not getting reimbursed in any way for mentioning their name.
Here are a couple of the challenges that I am experiencing on this regimen.
1. Kefir water is producing headaches. This is not unusual or unexpected, especially when the body is full of toxins. However, it does mean I need to eat soon after taking the kefir water.
2. The more fruits and veggies I eat, the hungrier I seem to be. It is not just the, "OK, I'm hungry but snack time or meal time is coming up" type of hunger. It is the "I'd better eat something right now or I'll have a headache" type of hunger. This makes it harder to stick to the types of things I should eat, and I end up just grabbing something and eating it. So, trying to find enough of the right types of foods to keep me satiated has been a bit difficult.
I thank the Lord for bringing me to this regimen, and I pray for His help to stick to it and follow through. Please pray for me also. Pray that I will do it right, that it will work, that I won't have too many setbacks, and that I will know what to eat and how often and which combinations I need to get satiated and feel my best. Thank you! And thank the Lord with me too.
Sour Sammy
Sour Sammy could not be good, no matter how he tried. One day his father had to discipline him for doing wrong, He asked his father why he could not be good, so his father got down the Bible and showed Sour Sammy how only Jesus could make him good.
"Soon it was known all over town
That Sour Sam had lost his frown --
Jesus had turned it upside down."

Mike Sudhalter | June 3, 2007
Hey, everyone. It's been a long time since my last blog - four days, but you better believe that I have a good reason. And I even have the doctor's note to prove it.
I'll spare you the details, but I had a serious stomach virus and had to have IV treatment for an hour Thursday morning. I'm just glad that I've recovered in time to get back to my daily work schedule and that I won't be missing a trip that's 11 years in the making - the Nashville trip during the CMA Festival.
There were a bunch of things that got me through these days - my wife, chicken noodle soup, apple sauce, country music and "Talladega Nights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby".
A few country music thoughts since I've been away. Let's hope Luke Bryan becomes a serious player in Nashville. He's got a new video out, "All My Friends Say", and I made a strange connection with the video. Bryan resembles actor Luke Wilson, the main character in the film, "Old School". The video seems to have the same theme as the movie where both Lukes can't remember what happened at a wild party the night before.
Another artist I'd like to see succeed is Odiss Kohn. I've read and listened to a lot of different singers, but I think this guy could be the next Randy Travis, and I say that based on one song, "Forgiven". He doesn't have a web site or even a myspace. The only place to get any information on this new artist is Category 5 Records, the label that signed him.
If you're looking for an alternative country sound, there's a Georgia-based band that mixes rock, blues and country, Deepwell. I recently received an e-mail from their lead singer, Ronnie, and I really enjoy the real emotion of their song "Hiway Home".
And what do you know? Four of the top five videos on the Great American Country Top 20 Country Countdown belong to former American Idol or Nashville Star contestants. That's not all bad, considering "Famous in a Small Town" by Miranda Lambert is a really good song, and the ballad "I Wonder" by Kellie Pickler is heart-wrenching.
It would just be nice to see a few non-contestant show artists in the mix like the aforementioned artists in this entry and a few others.
I have put together a list of things that I'm going to see and do in Nashville. Almost all of them include country music, but I'd also like to see the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. You see, I've already visited state athletic hall of fames in Kansas and Missouri as well as the New England Sports Hall of Fame in Boston.
If you have any ideas of things I should go or see, do tell. I would prefer things that tourists wouldn't normally know about. I discovered several places like that during a trip my wife and I took to Memphis in the spring of 2004. I hope Nashville is just as fun of a city as Memphis was. I know it will have a much different vibe.
This leaves my next big trip to be East Tennessee. Rocky Top, Dollywood and Pigeon Forge in a few years, maybe.

The 2019 Jeep Wrangler Order Guide is now available for the U.S. and Canada (both 2- and 4- door models)!
The one major addition for Canada is metal half doors with locks (GCH) which is sure to be a popular option. This option appears to be omitted from the U.S. order guides so it remains to be seen whether that will be late availability or Canada-only.
Curiously, the guide also lists Mojito! green as an available exterior paint color which was previously thought to have been replaced by Bikini Pearl (which itself is noted as late availability) for the 2019 model year, and we've confirmed that the color can be ordered in the dealer systems right now!
Stay tuned for more and in the meantime, check out the order guides below:

As Uncle Sam and the global economy at large waited in anticipation for the unfolding of United States President Donald Trump's trade, foreign and economic policies with a promise of a greater America, we gladly bid 2017 goodbye along with its economic uncertainties. You may also see plans sample.
Accountants worked tirelessly as they hit brick walls trying to get their heads around tax laws changes and its implications while Europe starts to deal with the realities of UK's Brexit. Meanwhile, the economy in the United States continues to be promising in many areas, including the real estate industry. In general it's fair to say that things are looking quite well for the average American, politics aside. You may also see simple marketing plans.
According to experts, the confidence of the average consumer to purchase and lease properties has seen a good rise and unemployment rates decreased for the first time in the past seventeen years. 2017 gave the economy a growth rate of 2.3%, making the real industry market look good owing to an increased consumer demand especially in the country's busiest and biggest cities. You may also see business marketing plan templates.
When it comes to a successful real estate business or investment, marketing of course, is still the biggest determining factor. If you're new to the industry, you'll soon discover that among every successful investor in the real estate, is the skill to market well. Bridging the gap between a business and its audience or customer, marketing serves as the voice and carrier of a respective brand's message since it is through marketing that people get to identify with, know, like and trust a business. you may also see Marketing Plan Templates.
The same rule applies to real estate and a good plan plays a key role in the buying and selling game. With that said, developing a real estate marketing plan is your ticket to thriving in the good times and surviving in the market's tough times as an investor.
The most trusting and idle realtors are contented in putting a listing, uploading a property and then wait or hope for the best. Then there are some who would try to make your house or commercial property look like every other property on the market. As a result, buyers fail to find just what makes the property valuable or what sets it apart from the rest. Unfortunately, such cookie-cutter marketing tactics can inevitably have negative results to the pricing you have set. Strategies like these, are what you need to avoid so that it doesn't hurt the value of the property you're selling before you even have the chance to do your pitch. You may also see marketing plan samples.
Your best chance is a polished, well-written basic marketing plan that will help you stay on track and reach your real estate short and long-term goals. This document, as a very important part of your investment, should include a detailed budget that didn't come out of thin air to propose, target audience, marketing and advertising strategies and any other thing that would make you stay on top of your game and that of the competition. Having a plan will help you determine your target audience, set goals that are reasonable, monitor your progress and efficiently allocate your budget.
The best advice we can give you is to be clear, thorough but still keep it simple and real. There are so many well-written plans that ends up along the pile of archives collecting dust under the office desk because they're either too complicated or unrealistic to be implemented. You're not making a document stating you heart's biggest desires in real estate. You may also see sales & marketing plans.
You're writing one to help you make projections about the development of your business over the next year and how you intend to fulfill them. Be honest with yourself and only set realistic goals and what your finances, time and other resources are capable of getting. You're not being asked to limit yourself but you don't have the sky as your limit either, although when it comes to opportunities in marketing, you're rather close enough if you get it done and planned right.
This section should be come first but written last in creating your sample real estate marketing plan. This should contain a summary of the plan in its entirety and should include the key points. It should also be as concise as possible, with as few words but written clearly, as its objective. When an investor reads this section, he or she should be able to immediately have a clear understanding of what you want to do and what your intentions are without him or her having to read the whole document.
The information in the executive summary can be used regularly as it also serves as a guide or reminder of your day-to-day marketing activities or operations. You can have a copy of this added to your planner for easy reference and checking of your marketing goals. Admit it, it helps when you have something to help you get back on track when you've strayed for a while and haven't realized it, and in marketing, staying and getting back on track is very important.
Every organization needs a mission statement. To help you figure out what your should be, here are some questions you can answer: What is your real estate philosophy? How would you define your values? What rules do you keep to? How do you serve potential buyers or investors? What is it that sets you apart from the next brokerage? All these questions will provide you a firm ground for which your business and marketing plan can stand on, to thrive. The road towards success is clearer and way easier when you know where to find your motivation.
You should know more than enough regarding what's happening in the real estate industry. How is the current movement of the market? Use the past to foresee the future. Are there any changes in reguations and governmental policy that can impact your business? How about in the construction industry? What are the latest trends? Where are millennials going to find their dream houses? Take a step back, read, look and listen to the world around you and try reviewing what is going on.
If you need more information on historical market data, get in touch with the authorities: your local, state or national associations. One or all of them will be able to provide you with the figures showing the market's history in your area. You also have your Multiple Listing Service which you can use to get the information you need. You may also see marketing plans.
Try to analyze what the competition is offering and just how much you need to compete. While real estate agents technically makes up most of your competition there are a few entities in your area that may affect the success of your business. Most of the time, they are the ones you face and fight in listing presentations or those that are trying to take care of their market share in your area. Answering these questions below can help a lot in analyzing the competition so you would have enough leverage and marketing advantage:
Who are they? What are they offering the audience? Ow do they market their services and properties? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How are you going to deal with objections and rejections of any form? Do you see them only competing in certain areas of the market? You may also see marketing plans in PDF.
Every business has a target market, in which case every agent also has a specific demographic in mind in writing the simple marketing plan. You might be waiting for fresh out of college twenty-somethings or young professionals leasing and buying apartments, newlyweds on a bungalow hunt or luxury-buying individuals in search of vacation homes.
It is important that you define whatever that demographic is because when you have identified your target customers, it would then be easier to develop the marketing plan sample according to what they might be looking for especially if you have a good understanding of how you should appeal to millennials versus that of Gen X, Y, and so on.
The best marketing campaigns have set focus on real people and real stories. You might just need the same thing since you're technically selling a home. Make it about people. Make it human and think of a message that would grab your target audience's attention. The message you put across your marketing channels should also tell more about what sets you apart from just any other real estate firm, agent, or landlord. you may also see Best Business Marketing Plan Templates.
It all boils down to planning well because just like any business looking to thrive or succeed with a marketing plan as one of its priorities at the beginning of the year, real estate agents also have to create their own marketing plans to set targets in selling properties. You may also see sample annual marketing plans.
At the end of the day, your marketing plan should be strong enough to act upon but also versatile enough to fit and adjust the growth of your investment according to the market's movement, so any changes your market undergoes, you wouldn't be left panicking. You should be able to fit it for what works and what fails. You may also see event marketing plans.

Snarry Champions, Judges and fans! After many hours of tabulation, the mods would like to announce that we have the final numbers, and we are nearing the end of the first ever Summer Art Games!
