Description & Features
IObit Uninstaller is a perfect software uninstall tool that provides a comfortable and secure way to completely remove unnecessary and unwanted programs, Windows apps, Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, malicious browser plug-ins or Ads toolbars, giving a user a clean PC and a secure & smooth online surfing experience. Unlike some uninstallers that merely use the included program uninstall routine, IObit Uninstaller will also scan and remove all leftovers entries with the Powerful Scan feature.
There is also a batch uninstall option that permits a user to select multiple programs to eliminate them swiftly. For system stability, this utility creates a system restore point as a backup measure before every uninstallation and provides better management of system restore point.
IObit Uninstaller combines professional options in an attractive, well-organized and highly intuitive interface made for casual and power users alike. Tasks are carried out rapidly while CPU and RAM consumption remains minimal. The utility features autostart and task managers who enable a user to remove apps from the Windows autorun launch, as well as to terminate currently running processes. Moreover, an integrated cleanup utility is designed to find and remove invalid shortcuts, Windows patch cache, along with useless downloads from the default download folders of popular web browsers and download managers.
The new feature Easy Uninstall allows a user to quickly uninstall a program from its opened window, desktop icon, or system tray icon. As the first uninstall utility that comes up with the idea of bundleware removal, IObit Uninstaller 9 is fully capable of monitoring program installations in real-time and uninstall bundleware immediately when they are installed.
IObit Uninstaller 9 added Bundleware category in the navigation panel where lists all the bundled products so that the user can uninstall all unwanted bundleware conveniently and quickly. With the enhanced scan engine and greatly expanded database, IObit Uninstaller 8 ensures all leftovers can be removed thoroughly from user computer just like they have never existed on PC. For Windows 8 and above, IObit Uninstaller helps user uninstall Windows Apps to free up more system space.
One new feature is Easy Uninstall which allows a user to quickly uninstall a program directly from its opened window, desktop icon, or system tray icon (also included is Bundleware Removal). This feature will monitor program installations in real-time and then uninstall bundleware immediately upon installation. It can be found in the navigation panel where a user can view any bundled products and remove them quickly. For system stability, this utility still creates a system restore point before every uninstallation and provides better management of system restore point.
Furthermore, IObit Uninstaller 9 supports removing Windows apps under non-administrator accounts and the latest UWP apps on Window 10 to free up more storage space. Software Updater is also improved to keep important user programs always up to date.

Instagram Fake Followers Checker!
Over the course of the last several weeks, Instagram has finally caught on with the use of automation tools. These automation tools typically run a person's Instagram account for as long as they desire. The purpose of these tools used by a majority is for botting user's account(s) or for serving clients or for their financial gain (account growth/gaining followers and engagements). While not all third-party automation services are flagged by Instagram, a numerous amount of users are receiving a moderate warning notice from their account(s) and believe it has something to do with fake followers. With the case study recently, I believe having fake followers is just a little problem behind it. If you're unsure of whether you have fake followers or not, you can see if Instagram followers are real by checking your Instagram account here.
What Is Instagram Shadow Ban?
I had the opportunity to speak to many of the users that were hit by this warning and they all have one thing in common: using automation tools. While there are people out there that are claiming that this warning has to do with purchasing fake followers/likes, I haven't heard of anyone being hit with this warning or receive an Instagram shadowban because of that. If you are planning on purchasing from suppliers, please understand that there's a high risk. How you utilize these followers all depends on you. Whether it's for social proof marketing or looking cool, there are consequences if you're not cautious and up to date with Instagram's algorithm.
What Did Instagram's Warning Say?
Instagram, one of the largest growing social media platforms with at least one billion monthly active visitors sent a notice/warning to many of the suspicious accounts:
We're Removing Inauthentic Likes and Follows:
You may have shared your username and password with an app that offers followers or likes. We're removing activity from these apps, such as new followers, because they violate our Community Guidelines. Please change your password to prevent your account from being disabled.
With such drastic changes especially for the number of users using these tools, Instagram's algorithm is only improving and getting smarter every day. And because Instagram is getting smarter every day, Instagram users are more likely to be at risk when using automation services or suspicious apps. Your first step should be changing your password for safety purposes. You'll never know who has your account information or not. Your second step is to check which apps are authorized into your account. Remember to read their Community Guidelines before doing anything suspicious!
As odd as it is, you can't check for authorized apps on your phone application. The only way to check for authorized applications is by going on your computer.
Once you logged in on Instagram, follow these steps in order to check your account:
- You will click on your profile and look for the cogwheel to the right of the "Edit Profile" and click on it. The cogwheel should look like this.
- The settings menu should appear with an 'Authorized App' option. Now you will be able to know which third-party apps you've authorized.
- Now, you can revoke access to any suspicious tools/programs that could get you banned.
Because more and more users are receiving this warning every day, I decided to experiment with a case-study, and the results are quite interesting. I created two accounts. One test account using the automation tool and the other with fake followers and engagements being added. I was testing to see which account will get hit by that warning. I found it interesting because in most cases with everyone else, the results are similar. Here are the results:
Account One:
For test account one with the automation tool, I decided to let RoboLike (an auto-like bot), run for a week. For anyone curious, the price for RoboLike is $7.77 a month and you get a free 3-day trial. Please use it at your own risk. I will write a review on RoboLike soon enough.
After a week of running, I was hit by Instagram's warning because I authorized my account for RoboLike to automate. After changing my password and continuing on using RoboLike again, I was hit by it again a day later. I did it over and over for 3-4 times. To avoid being a ban, you have to change your password as stated on the warning. But also, you cannot use the same password (which sucks because I'm a forgettable person when it comes to passwords), so make sure to write it down and keep it safely stored. Whether it's on your notebook or a private Google spreadsheet, keep your password safe because you will keep on having to change it if you are hit by this warning.
Overall, it doesn't seem like Instagram will ban your account as long as you change it. But you will have to keep changing it over and over which can be extremely annoying and tedious if you have multiple accounts or clients.
Account Two:
For test account two, I decided to test it out by adding followers and engagements to my post. While many of the fake followers and engagements were removed, I have yet received any warning. This article will be updated once I receive my first warning.
Will this be the answer to avoid an Instagram ban? The answer will always be unknown because Instagram's algorithm changes every day. They are only getting smarter and smarter. The most recommended way to grow your account is to post high-quality content and be consistent. Also, try using hash-tag research because it will help you grow your account at a good pace.
If you have extra information to contribute in regards to Instagram's new warning, feel free to comment below.
Let's prevent your Instagram from being muted or shadowban. It can happen at any time when your account is suspicious. The best route to gain followers is to post consistently and do your research with high-quality content.

To rank or not to rank. That is the question that hangs over my head during the day & keeps me awake at night. Let me explain…
I'm part of one of the most revered and long standing DT leagues in the country. With an entry fee of $275 & hence the Premier taking $2.5k at the end of the season, there's an obvious cash incentive. More so however, there's the respect & banter element. When you've got guys who've finished top100 overall previously, and sons of AFL legends in your league, there's bucket loads of respect for taking the chocolates. Especially when you didn't even know what footy was 7 years ago – I'm from the land of Mr.Stynes and hence the team name "The Irish Invaders" (Irish pirate Calvin is the married to my sister and also my uncle – go figure!). We now even have a DIV2 with 2 teams being promoted/relegated each year.
More to the point, our Premier is decided by the league match-ups, not overall ranking. So even though every year a coach/es may finish in the top few hundred, no one remembers them. The Premier gets the league named after him & joins the sacred list of past Champions.
There are internal "I'll outrank you by year's end" bets between coaches and any weekly prizes are applauded obviously. But at the end of the day, you need to pick your team with a league focus instead of an overall points strategy.
Aren't they the same? Surely if you score high you'll win your league. Not true. Our highest points scorer a few years ago didn't even make the 8 due to unlucky match-ups. Also, you simply have to have 4 or 5 trades at least for finals (in a normal year) to win whereas previous overall winners have exhausted their trades as early as round 18.
Slightly off topic but I know of other leagues, with entry fees of up to $500, that decide winner on overall points. But the grudge matches against rival coaches and the weekly banter based on that round match-ups etc is a large part of the magic of DT for me.
So back to my dilemma & the point of this post. My situation is that for the first time in years I've bolted out of the box and based on my current ranking (469) & a strong mix of mainly the correct Guns'n'Rookies, I believe I actually have a chance to stick with the leaders & give the overall a shot. Hopefully others out there can relate to this – either this year, previous years, or changing trading policies due to an unexpected lengthy run in the Eliminator (a fellow coach gave up his chance on league title as he went for broke & used up all his trades in round 17, eventually going out in last 32 of Eliminator last year).
My team is 100% selected for league win. So I paid no attention to the multi-bye rounds. I used up virtually every penny ($2k remaining) to try win the first 3 rounds pre those multi-byes (2 from 2). Cox & Sandi in the ruck with the cheapo's Bailey/McCauley on bench not wanting to waste money on risky (in my preseason opinion) expensive backup like Hale & Petrie (was 4k short of Zac). With Boyd & Libba in the mids, I still chose to go with Bewick & Beams, knowing I'd be facing a donut in round 4 but not be able to remove any from my starting squad (was rubbing my hands seeing Beams on 44 1st qtr first round & still think he's a good pickup). And other decisions such as not going with D.Swallow & not really caring about DP link-ups.
But now I must decide whether to totally change my strategy. Do I make a couple of trades this week or next to avoid donuts and bring in the leading rookies (Yarran to Tapscott, Beams to Curnow for example)? Or do I stick to my preseason plan & conserve trades until Rd6 onwards?
I know it's a marathon not a sprint but I may never start as strong as this again. With the ridiculous amount of information, cheat sheets, sample teams easily available to every man and his dog (or "dad"), it's getting harder every year to get into the top 500 at ANY stage of the year.
Then again, winning $2.5K & the eternal respect of 15, make that 31, other coaches/friends is quite attractive also!
Let us know in the comments below if you are or have experienced something similar. What would you do in the same situation? How many of you are in ultra competitive/pricey leagues? Which is the better league strategy in your opinion – overall points or match-ups?
Coach, The Irish Invaders

I've noticed a few threads in praise of EKO guitars and obviously many people have a great affection for them. I have a guitar that was bought in far off days before the arrival of the Yamaha FG 180 when if you were serious about guitars you aspired to EKOs Hoyers or if you had unbounded wealth Levins The guitar that grabbed my attention was a Hawk and fetured a broomstick handle for a neck ( I think the neck is the reson I instincevely capo guitars at 4th fret) and a whacking lump of cast brass for a saddle Despite the fact that the kerfing is the wrong way round and the original machine head disintegrated into brass filings decades ago this guitar refuses to die and can even sound good. I have only once ever seen a similar guitar, a friend had a hawk 12 fret 12 string with an action normally seen on a longbow. Does anyone else have one of these beasts?

The Hawk Guitar was closely related to Framus, possibly from the same factory (Germany?). It was an importer's guitar rather than a manufacturer's name. Entry to mid level instruments likely, though as sturdy as their Framus relatives.
I've never actually played one, but know the Framus relations well.
Peace, Mooh.

Just found this thread and decided to post- first time!
I have a Hawk 6 string guitar which I bought in about 1968/9 for about £35. The label inside says sole distributors Boosey and Hawkes(sales ltd)London.
I had to replace machine heads some years ago and had the action taken down a bit, but it still plays well.
Would be interested to know if anyone else has one.

My first "proper "guitar was a nylon string thing - a Tatra Classic.
When I went on to steel strings I had a Hagström with adjustable bridge , which some b*stard nicked - so bought a new Harmony Sovereign.When I changed the strings, the bridge pulled of the front of it - it was only glued !!! and ended up with an Yamaha FG 180 which served me very,very well for many years - until I bought the American guitar which the Yamaha had originally tried to copy a Martin (H)D-28.
The FG 180 stood more mis-treatment than any guitar should need to undertake and it was without doubt very well-made .
An EKO was played by an old mate of mine - Mick Rowbottom from Dunstable way - he adored it - I couldn't bear to play it - it weighed a Ton and ( seemingly ) the sound which did enter the guitar simply refused to come back out. I believe it probably used up three times more wood than an ordinary guitar - and I cannot bear to pick one up - good news for tree conservationists too !!

I had a Hawk briefly around 1967, it was a six-string and superficially similar to a contemporary Hagstrom - dark sunburst finish, neck of aircraft-carrier section, action like a double-bass, plastic headstock with a gold hawk printed on it. Only kept it a few months and sold it together with a "Nashville 10" and a very cheap Egmond 12-string in order to purchase one of the first "John Pearse" Aria guitars.
The Aria was a totally different animal, based on Guild D-series and, so later rumour had it, some were made by Guild luthiers in Japan as they taught the Japanese to assemble them. A superb guitar for the GBP70 or so I paid for it (at the time a Martin D18 would have cost around twice as much). I sold it to a friend in the mid 70s, having by then acquired my Martin and begun to descend the slippery slope to SGAS. Wish I'd kept it, one turned up at a session I played at recently, and it was still good, if battered. Not bad for a laminated wood guitar.
Played the occasional borrowed Eko, and another similar make of Italian guitar (possibly a badged Eko?), but all suffered from the huge block of wood holding the neck in place, and many from having an ebony (or something like it) neck that weighed a ton. Never fancied buying one, though.
Almost uniquely among my guitar-playing friends and acquaintances, I have never owned a Yamaha - Yairi, Takamine, Kimbara, Washburn, Westone, Tanglewood, Artisan, etc, etc, but never a Yamaha. My current collection of 4 Martins (D-18, SPD-16, DM12, 000CS-GTE) 2 Washburns, and one each from Yairi, Westone and Tanglewood will probably see me out, but I keep an eye on eBay and other places in case on of those early Arias surfaces!!

When I first posted this thread, I had been reading other guitar threads in which the postings that seem to be trying to out do each other with more and more expensive or exotic guitars and Igot rather bored reading them,it seemed people had lost sight of just how much fun could be had out of lam tops that had had years of tweaks and tlc lavished on them. It occured to me that many of the guitar exotica postings were from a land far away and seemed to be part of Harley riding Pony tail and beer gut syndrome

I bought a second hand Hawk for £12 in about 1970 from someone who had owned it then for about 4/5 years. I still have this although its in a bit of a sorry state now, needing a new neck to replace the original which is showing signs of breaking just beloe the headstock.
Its now little more than an ornament. Lots of scratces & bumps on it, but as it holds a lot of memories, I would only part with it to someone who might consider putting it right.
I know play either an Ovation or a very early Lakewood (+ one of about four different banjos) all of of which are superb.
I also owned a Stella 12 string in the early sixties but that was knicked by a bloke I loaned it to to earn some money busking. He probably earned enough to vanish overseas with my guitar. The Stella had no truss rod and the action needed a grip like a vice but it made a great sound.

I have a 12 string with 'The Hawk' printed on the headstock above a logo of the bird in flight. It was purchased impetuously from a flea market about five years ago for £80.
It was strung badly with what looked like rusty wires and I wasn't able to check it to see if it was playable. It was quite naive to buy it under these circumstances but once I'd got it home and restrung it, it played rather well and held it's tuning brilliantly. The only trouble is - longbow action! I can only play it for a few minutes before my hand aches like a rotting tooth.
I was very excited to see a reference to it here as I've not been able to find anything else about it anywhere and there's no label inside it that I can seeramus related.
If anyone has any other information about it I'd be really interested to hear it.

Hey - seems I posted on the wrong thread - not really, but I noticed this one which seems more relevant. I too have a Hawk jumbo from about 1967, cost me £27. Dark sunburst - but the neck is a dream with a very low action. The machine heads are shit, very stiff, and never having owned a case for it in all the years, it looks incredibly scabbie. The tortoiseshell pickguard (plastic) fell off years ago, but I still have it. When I can be bothered to change the strings, every three or four years, it sounds very nice. :) It's never been used professionally, (I play bass) it's just an old "strummer," for the house.

Betsy - world of coincidence. My first guitar was a Tatra Classic too and I still have the Yamaha FG180 that I bought in 1972. The Tatra is long gone. The Yamaha's neck is still straight and true and though the body has taken a bit of a battering over the years it still plays ok and sounds alright. Yamaha FG180 - judging from the Carly Simon No Secrets poster behind and the loon pants I'm guessing this is about 1972 or 1973

I have a 60's/70's "Western" guitar, label says model no 9001 made in Japan, it is a copy of a Gibson/Epiphone Hummingbird. Had an action that needed the strength of a weight lifter to hold down but a friend took it down for me and it now plays very well. Had both an Eko Ranger 6 and 12 string in the 70's, current fave guitar is a Cort - along with the 2 dulcimers and banjo. Would love more info on the old Western if anyone can help.

I never thought I'd see discussion anywhere about Hawk guitars. I have one, which I bought in 1966, and have always found it a joy to play, with no problems with the action. The only issue is that, when gigging it people said it was a bit quiet, compared to more modern guitars.
I tried to do some research about them but finding information proved difficult. I tried the Whitechapel Furniture Museum (which has comprehensive luthier records going way back) but their best guess was that it was a customer brand name - I was interested to see mention of a Boosey and Hawkes label because mine does not have that, just a stencilled serial number. I assumed it was them, but the company denied all knowledge when I asked them.
But the museum did point me a Framus and the best I could find out was that, post-war, Framus did make a large number of such instruments, under many different brand names, with incomplete records kept of the names, serial numbers etc.
As an aside, in about 1982 I had it valued at Hanks in Denmark Street, London and was told £200, purely because.... "it was the make of guitar that Bob Dylan played when he first started out", and was therefore something of a `collectors' item'.
I am more than happy to assume that this was a `line' intended to impress a prole from the provinces. But it would be interesting to check that bit out. I have this strange memory of seeing an early Dylan promo picture with him holding a Hawk guitar, but I can't be sure that is now not self-fulfilling self-delusion. While I have not scoured Dylan-related websites diligently, I have not found the picture I think I remember seeing.

I saw a Hawk for sale in Denmark st 2 or 3 years ago the price tag was £300+ which I thought was an astounding amount of money for a guitar which despite its wayward charm is hardly worth that sort of cash.
If youre wondering what I mean by wayward charm how else would you describe a fretboard that only just wide enough for 5 strings not 6 and a neck profile that is more broom handle than "C" or "D" in shape, and dont forget the huge adjustable brass saddle or the totally inappropriate but rather tasteful intricate classical style rosette.
All in all it just leaves me wondering how many members were in the commitee that designed the Hawk?

That's a fantastic response Banksie! I never thought I'd see a discussion either. Your post sheds a lot of light on the subject and makes me wonder if my guitar is worth more than I paid for it.
Perhaps having pound signs springing up in my eyes to the sound of 'Kerching!" is the wrong reaction though. The Dylan connection, if true, holds a lot more value to me. Two hundred quid would be nice but I'm not desperate at the moment and I'd like to hang on to a bit of history. Even if it's not true, it's nice to think that the instrument has pedigree and isn't just a piece of tat from a dodgy market stall.
I have a thread running in the Vintaxe forum. It pretty much repeats what I've said here but there are some photos of my Hawk there. I quoted your post there Banksie, I hope that's not too presumptuous.

I still use my 1963 Martin D-21, (with Ovalaga Rosewood body,rare!!) For recording I've used Yamaha FG-110, and FG-140, and my Martin, plus a Larrivee Presentation Model...all truly great instruments...even though my latest projects are on keyboards. For electric, I've owned and used a custom made, left handed Brazilian(now illegal to import)rosewood Strat, from Mighty Mite. Gibson 335, and Gretsch Country Gentleman.

The first guitar I bought was a nylon strung Barnes & Mullins. That was more years ago than I care to remember! It wasn't very expensive, but it was love at first sight! It is still with me as my second guitar and still goes out on the road and receives it's fair share of compliments, even though (like it's owner) it's looking a bit battered now!
I did have an Eko 12-string, but sold it.....wish I hadn't now......

The Hawk was the second guitar I had to learn on when I was 12. £14. Loved it. Action a bit high but nice tone. Gave it to a relative and eventually got it back a couple of years ago bent cracked and in a sorry state. For nostalgia reasons I gave it to a repairer in Brum. Bob Barry. All restored so it now plays really well and had a Seymour Duncan timberline pick up added. Sounds so good now that everyone thinks it's some old classy Gibson or similar. All cost me a bomb but I love it now and wouldn't part with it.

I have recently had my Italian bred 1968 EKO Ranger 12-string renovated. Sounds better now than I ever remember 20 years ago and all who have played it love it. Yes, she's heavy, but then my 12-string Tak is too.
The sound is a lot 'lighter' than most modern 12-strings I have heard but it's sweet and not at all 'bassy'. I love all five of my guitars but I confess to having a soft spot for the EKO. We have been through a lot in 40 years. My others are all 6-strings: 2 x Aria and 1 x Tak
I cannot comment on Hawks, unfortunately, but this thread tells me I should at least have a go on one some day.

My main guitar is a Hoyer jumbo - bought new for £36 in about 1965. Nice rounded tone with medium strings - I tried light strings but it sounded rubbish. Still in good condition, except the varnish cracking. I shouldn't keep it hung up in centrally-heated rooms.
My other guitar is a 100-year-old Italian guitar made by Alfredo Albertini. The face is traditional mandolin-style, with marquetry and inlay - Albertini was better known for mandolins. Cost £2.50 in about 1975.

I have a 70's Mugen 12-string which my brother bought for £2 at a car boot sale It had two cogs missing from the open machine-heads, no strings attached, and a two-inch split which has been completely stable. The bridge lifted once, but was easily repaired, and I now keep it tuned a tone down to lessen the strain. It is of course a Martin clone, plays just like one, and sounds amazing.

Eddie - they came with a strap button on the "heel" end of the body from new - I bought one new, for £25 in around 1965.
They didn't actually have a heel as such, the neck was screwed on from the back through a damned great neck block. Mine has been as stable as anything (I've not played it for, must be, 20 years) but I've heard of the block disintegrating.
They were a perfectly playable guitar, better than most in their time insofar as you could tune them. They weren't particularly loud but the six string version + their sisters the "Eros" guitars, were ridiculously quiet.
I went on to the £37-10s Yamaha FG180 - which I sold to Arthur Wakefield for £65 after I bought a Martin D18, new, for £190. [That's inflation for you!] Arthur tripped over the 180 in his club some years later and that was the end of that!

I believe that Martin bought Levin simply because they had a vast stock of good tone-woods ??
I was in Singapore in 1967/68 when Yamaha guitars were all the rage ( FG 180 ?).
In about 1970 I bought , in Gosport, a Suzuki with an adjustable bridge, and it served me well until after 2000, when it went in part exchange for my Avalon.

The guitars I had in the 60's/70's started with a Sears Silvertone ($24.00 on Dec. 1, 1969). I got a harmony a couple years later, then a Madiera (Japanese knockoff of a guild). In London as an exchange student I bought an Eko Ranger 6 for the five months I was there (paid 40 pounds and resold it when I flew back for 10). I later traded the Madiera and a banjo for an Alverez tree of life guitar. Then the 80's hit and I bought a Fylde Orsino and GAS took over.

My first guitar was approx xmas 1974.
A Shaftesbury acoustic from my mum's mail order catalogue.
[the big book containing everything, including pages of ladies in nothing but their bras and panties]
I reckon it would have been about £45.00 before HP charges.
Bolt on neck, probably a rebadged EKO ???
I stuck a Schaller pickup on it and gigged it through a vox AC30, then a HH 100 watt combo.
The bridge eventually raised up cracking the soundboard last time I'd used, then sadly discarded it.
Found it again 3 years ago, smelling of stale cat pee and mildew, when I cleared out my deceased siblings flat.
Sibling apparently took it on and payed a 'luthier' to fix it with chicken wire and car body filler.
Maybe I should restring it...??? 😬

I can't remember what my first 'proper' i.e. Jumbo guitar was but it was traded for a YamahaFG110, which I am still using. Somebody once reckoned that I'd found a good one! All this despite it being trodden on at a Barnsley Festival by a Silly Wizard. We'd played for a ceilidh in the evening where Silly Wizard sat in with us- talk about wall-to-wall band across the stage! Since we doing a workshop in the same venue next day, we left our instruments on the stage. The caretaker had switched off all the main lighting when one of the wizards realised he'd left his fags on stage and so, relying on the 'emergency exit'lighting he stumbled around until he found them. In the course of this stumbling around he trod on the neck of my guitar (my fault for not having a hard case at the time). Somebody in Kiveton Park glued it back together and, forty years or so down the line, I'm still using it.

Shark Fishing Charter Virgina Beach
Shark Fishing Charter Virgina Beach
Half day inshore shark fishing
Half day inshore shark fishing (4 hours $550 for up to six people) : mostly during the summer from June to October, inshore waters off Virginia Beach are teaming with sharks. This half day inshore shark fishing trip is a family favorite as this is a quick trip close to shore, and we safely show family's and children about shark fishing. The sharks we catch on this trip tend to be on the smaller end of the scale as far as shark sizes are concerned, usually 3 to 5 feet but people who are new to fishing in the ocean and kids love seeing these sharks. Most of the sharks we catch on this half day inshore shark charter fishing trip are released, but nonetheless they are fun to catch and we educate everyone about the sharks and they even get to have their picture with the sharks before they are released. The shark species commonly caught on this trip are typically blacktip, spinner, juvenile hammerhead, juvenile sandbar, juvenile bull, sharp nose, and occasionally we may see a larger shark on the half day shark trip.
Full day inshore shark fishing charter ($1000 up to 8 hours and up to 6 people June to October) This shark fishing charter is a little more for the seasoned angler looking to catch bigger sharks than the half day shark trip. On this full day inshore trip, we have more time to go further from the inlet and this gives us more options for targeting larger sharks. Typical species caught on this trip include all the species of the half day trip, plus sand tiger sharks, adult sandbar, adult bull, adult hammerhead sharks, and occasionally we will catch a tiger shark or dusky on this trip.
Overnight shark fishing charter
Feeding time happy hour inshore shark fishing trip (evenings June to October $1000 up to 6 hours up to 6 people) It is well known that sharks tend to bite best during the evening hours and during the first couple hours of darkness. This 6 hour evening fishing trip puts our charters where the sharks are when they are feeding. This trip breaks out the heavy tackle and targets big sharks, and often times we get results. Typical species caught are similar to the full day inshore shark fishing, however, the experience of shark fishing at night is so much fun and the sharks tend to be most cooperative during this time of day.
Offshore shark fishing charter (mostly year round $2000 up to 14 hours up to 6 anglers) This shark fishing charter is for the hard core charter group of anglers who want to catch monster sharks. This trip goes out to the deep where the monster sharks live and spends the day targeting big sharks. Anywhere from 30 to 60 miles offshore the huge pelagic sharks can be found roaming the ocean and we put out the big reels and the fighting chair and catch monster sharks on this trip.
Overnight shark fishing charter (mostly year round $3600 up to 36 hours up to 6 anglers) this trip spends a day and a half fishing targeting the biggest sharks in the ocean. On this trip we have caught huge hammerhead sharks, monster makos, and even a couple great white sharks amongst a multitude of other shark species. This is the longest trip we offer and produces the most results. Call for details about this shark fishing charter.

I'm not a huge fan of mainstream movies – some are great but most are trash. We don't have TV and I can say that, with the exception of the nature shows, I don't miss it a bit. Every once in awhile, however, a story is told on the big screen that captures my interest and The First Grader is one of these films. It's the story of an 84 Kenyan man who goes to school for the first time because he wants to learn to read before he dies. I won't give away any more of the story. You can view the trailer below and then hopefully the show will come to a theatre near you! Have a nice weekend!

We took him back to our hotel room where we spent some time studying each other.
This was a really fun trip, even though it was an eight hour drive. I've never been in a hotel room before. They loved dogs there. We could walk down the hall like we owned the place!
Mister Higgins had to stay in his pen most of the time and he was sad about it.
"Please let me come out now"
It's lonely in here. . .
But he sure got excited about the room service!
The next day we went for another ride. The Duke's Aunt and Uncle have a farm in Idaho and we got to visit for the whole day.
Just us, going for a walk on the farm.
Mister Higgins got wet and rolled in the dirt. Well, ok, we all did!
But I think he enjoyed it more than any of us.
By the end of the day he was pooped!
The Duchess says living with Mister Higgins is like having a two year old child on roller blades. As soon as we got home he found the toy box. There are toys everywhere now.

B2 Agonists and Their Safety in the Treatment of Asthma
Increasing prevalence and severity of asthma has prompted the development and promulgation of various national and international guidelines for asthma management in adults and children. All of these guidelines agree that short-acting inhaled B2-agonists on demand represent the most appropriate initial bronchodilator therapy. However, there has been considerable debate as to the merit of maintenance bronchodilator therapy with regular inhaled B2-agonists, either the short acting agents, or the newer long-acting inhaled B2-agonist, salmeterol. Of concern is the possibility that there are detrimental effects of chronic B2-agonist bronchodilator treatment. Do these B2-agonists have the potential to worsen asthma control and there by have an adverse impact by contributing to the increased prevalence and severity of asthma? This article will review the pertinent literature with regard to the safety of the B2-agonists, which are appropriate but not perfect medications for asthmatics. It will also put this information in perspective for the clinician and provide this author's recommendations for their use in managing the manifestations of chronic and recurrent asthma.

Excellent product and superfast delivery. Frame easily clipped together and after a wrestling match with the netting it was completed. I bought it for my two recently adopted furry felines so they could enjoy our lovely sunny weather and stay safe. We live on what used to be a quiet road but with the ever increasing car population the boy racers, out to impress their lady loves, treat our road as a race track and scream along at goodness knows what miles per hour. Anyway, I digress. The cats were duly introduced to their outdoor house and mmm
. lets just say an escape committee was quickly formed. After two fits and a bad turn it was evident they did not agree with my choice of outdoor activity . Oh well, maybe I will annoy my neighbours and get some chooks and a cockerel! That would certainly liven things up!
Really easy to put together, the frame clips together so was up within 20 mins, mesh is a little harder but explained well in the demo video.

As the racing heats up in California this May, each day's leaders will be kitted up in a custom version of the Assos Men's SS.grandprixJersey_evo8 on the road and on the podium, which we take as a big stamp of approval that this jersey can handle some serious ride time. The pro teams are notoriously demanding when it comes to kit, and any leaders jersey needs to meet high expectations for comfort and design. And though the majority of us won't be earning a classification jersey anytime soon, we all can gain access to the same comfortable fit and high tech fabric technology seen on the big screen.
This jersey's hallmark is its exceptionally lightweight, almost mesh-like fabric, designed to keep riders cool and in-focus over the gruelingly hot climbs of Southern California's mountain ranges. Its fit follows suit, striking a balance between race-aero tight and fondo loose to provide a streamlined profile that remains comfortable through mid-week hammer fests and weekend double centuries alike. As such, the grandprixJersey is poised to hold court on a front-row hanger as a versatile essential in your daily cycling kit decisions.
Key Features & Benefits:
Material: 73% polyester, 17% elastane, 10% nylon
Assos are one of the world's pioneers and specialists in producing high quality cycling clothes and accessories. They are located in a region of Switzerland that has maintained a long standing tradition in first class textile engineering. In the 1970's, Toni Maier-Moussa, founder and chairman of Assos accidently invented lycra cycling apparel, whilst trying to create the ultimate bicycle.
During the wind tunnel tests of the first ever carbon-fiber bike, Toni inadvertently found that lycra downhill ski racing suits had much less drag than the woolen-knitted cycling clothes of the time. To this day Assos firmly believe in total product competence, delivering optimum function and comfort, by researching and making its cycling apparel and accessories from the very best materials.

Malachi Man Foundations Module
5 DVDs
Malachi Man's "Foundations" Video Series is an engaging, biblical, and practical discipleship course. Based on Malachi 4:6: "He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction." The father-child relationship is critical because how children view their earthly father is how they typically view their heavenly Father. Malachi Man helps men –from all walks of life- cultivate a relationship in which their children freely come to them to express and work through their hopes, fears, desires, temptations, doubts, affections etc. Any willing man can grow in this. If we are not engaging the heart, we are missing the heart of discipleship.
The course is laid out over 10 weeks, with 5 instructional videos, and 10 intentional Talksheets. It can be used for single families, small groups, or larger groups; and adapted to various time frames. The video messages are powerfully illustrated with fire, guns, cowboys, motorbikes, horses, tractors, boats, and more. Topics include:
- Wholehearted love for God
- Typical church going father vs biblical fatherhood
- The spiritual battle and the armour of God
- Family devotions, practical "how to" for all ages
- Communication, active listening, motive revealing questions, transparency
- God's incredible design for sexuality, the enemy's tactics to destroy, setting boundaries, establishing an on-going open conversation
- Temptations, struggles, business, fears, wrong priorities, pornography, secrecy etc.
- Gospel redemption in every category of daily living
The weekly structure and 10 Talksheets work to prioritize consistent discipleship, and trains fathers and sons to normalize heart-level discipling conversations. This primes the "discipleship pump" such that when the course is over, they simply continue on what has already been started.
Foundations Module encourages and equips men to take up their God-given role of making disciples on a heart-level; first inside the home, then outside the home.

As a biracial woman, adoptee and mother of three, I'm no stranger to social biases.
So when I went for my long-awaited tattoo to celebrate an upcoming milestone birthday, I knew I'd receive mixed reactions.
While I may have received the odd, "What will your kids think?", and "Aren't you worried what it'll look like when you're an old granny?" - the responses so far have been overwhelmingly positive.
When I heard that a Facebook Page called "Your Tattoos Make You a Horrible Mother" existed, which displayed slogans such as "Shun the Gun," "Think Before You Ink," and "Moms Without Tattoos Have Children With Futures," I thought it was a joke.
Not only did this page discourage tattoos - especially on women who are soon-to-be or existing mothers - but it spread fictional conditions related to getting tattoos, such as "Fetal Ink Syndrome" (birth defects caused by getting tattoos while pregnant), "Tattoorettes Syndrome" (uncontrollable profanity as a side effect of getting tattoos), and "Inkrage" (getting tattoos causes violent, aggressive behaviour).
These conditions may sound like punchlines to tasteless tattoo jokes, but the followers of this page actually believed them to be true. Thankfully, after a petition ran on change.org, calling out the group as promoting hate speech, the page was shut down.
The reality is, while we work towards becoming a more inclusive and accepting society, a stigma still exists when it comes to those with tattoos, and women, in particular, are at the receiving end of the body-branding backlash.
According to a survey conducted earlier this year, 29 per cent of males in Canada, and 36 per cent of females in Canada have at least one tattoo. And while women exceed men in ink stats, it seems to be the women who suffer the most from the stigma that still exists.
Instagram fitness star Sia Cooper shared a photo in response to people who called her a "bad mom" for working out too much, and for having tattoos and piercings. Her caption read, "I've learned that the true 'bad moms' out there are the ones who constantly tear other moms down by judging them."
In a post on the site Cafe Mom which shares the ridiculous things that have been said to moms with tattoos, one mom shares, "My partner and I both have tattoos and piercings, but I'm the only one who has gotten shamed out loud for it. No one calls him a 'bad dad.'"
It's time to stamp out the stigma that surrounds tattoos. Moms seem to bear the brunt of the shaming, and the judgment is unwarranted. Let's stop misjudging moms with tattoos, and recognize that their ink is a symbol of courage, creativity, and character. Ink, or ink free, all mothers are faced with a slew of biases, and it's time for these biases to stop. Decorated skin doesn't dissolve the love of a mother, nor does it reflect what exists on the inside.

2010 Hall of Fame: Michael Lonier
As someone who was interested in photography and the media from a young age—he began experimenting with a box camera in grade school and even started his own neighborhood newspaper as a child—Michael Lonier dreamt of becoming a photographer for Life magazine. Shortly after completing graduate school, in the late 1970s, he landed at Time Inc.'s production office in Chicago just in time to work on the rebirth of Life (which had shuttered about six years earlier) as a monthly. While not working behind a camera for the storied magazine, he did begin a decade-long tenure at Time Inc., just one facet of an accomplished career in production that has earned him an induction this year into the Publishing Executive Hall of Fame.
"Each stop [in my career], I have been fortunate to be driving significant innovation and organization change," says Lonier.
"I've known Michael a very long time, and his breadth of experience has enabled him to clearly understand most facets of the … media business," says Kit Taylor, COO, New York Magazine. "His broad perspective helps him to provide comprehensive solutions and strategic plans."
At Time Inc., Lonier spearheaded the transition from two-color shipped film and Nylo plates for converted letterpresses to run-of-press, full-color for Time, Sports Illustrated, People, Fortune, Money and Life. Additionally, his department moved from buying out conventional film-based prepress to producing it entirely digitally, both text and graphics, transmitting data via a shared HBO satellite bandwidth to 10 domestic and six international locations.
"The competitive lift this gave to our news business in the 1980s was enormous and brought forward the era of digital prepress for the entire publishing industry," he says.
In the 1990s, Lonier and his wife, Elaine Fry—vice president of manufacturing and production at Forbes Media LLC and a 2006 inductee into the Publishing Executive Hall of Fame—started their own company, Yuey/Lonier Inc., a technology and operations consulting firm, and soon thereafter, a division called The Color Bureau, a digital prepress and photo studio. Clients included The New Yorker, Boys' Life, IEEE, Hearst and Reader's Digest.

12 planned child care facilities at risk amid changes to development charges: staff
Chris Fox, CP24.com
Published Wednesday, May 15, 2019 11:46AM EDT
Last Updated Wednesday, May 15, 2019 3:49PM EDT
Provincial changes to development charges could leave the city with less money to pay for important community assets like parks, child care centres and recreational facilities, officials say.
An omnibus housing bill tabled by the Progressive Conservative government earlier this month would, among other things, replace two separate tools that cities use to pay for infrastructure with one amalgamated "community benefits charge" that would be capped at unspecified amount.
Bill 108 would also forbid cities from using development charges to pay for so-called "soft services" such as recreation centres and libraries. Instead development charges could only pay for hard infrastructure like new roads, sewers and transit.
While the total financial impact of the changes is unclear, a staff report that was up for debate at city council today warns that they will "undermine the city's ability to ensure that growth pays for growth" and could ultimately lead to a situation in which taxpayers are subsidizing new developments.
The report goes on to warn that the changes will likely have a "significant impact" on the city's finances, its ability to secure parkland and its capacity to provide community facilities.
"By diverging from the long-held approach of growth paying for growth, future developments could result in a negative financial impact on the city," the report says. "If this were to occur, the net outcome would be that existing residents and businesses, who make up the city's tax base, would in effect be partially subsidizing new development."
A dozen planned child care centres at risk
Sections 37 of the planning act allows cities to authorize zoning amendments for increases in height or density in exchange for cash or in-kind benefits for the area where a development is planned, such as recreational spaces or affordable housing units.
Section 42, meanwhile, allows cities to require that parkland be set aside as a condition of development. The current rule in place is that developers must provide 0.4 hectares of parkland for every 300 units.
Staff told council on Wednesday that both tools account for a large proportion of the city's 10-year capital plan and if replaced with one harmonized charge will force them to "recast" that plan.
That means that plans for 12 child care centres, 21 public library expansion and renovation projects, 106 new or expanded parks, 17 recreation centres, five pools, four arenas and more than 200 playground improvement projects could be at risk, according to staff.
Staff said that the 12 planned child care facilities, for example, would likely not be built if the changes go through. That is because $20 million of the $38 million budget for those facilities is supposed to come from development charges which would no longer be eligible to be applied.
When asked by Coun. Joe Cressy if the facilities could still be built despite changes to development charges, one staffer said simply "no we cannot."
The staff report said that the total financial impact to the city from the changes is unclear "because much of the detail will be in a yet-to-released provincial regulation."
Nonetheless, Mayor John Tory told members of council on Wednesday that he believed the net result will be "dramatically reduced funding" to pay for vital infrastructure.
"Make no mistake. I think what this amounts to is an even bigger financial cutback for the city at the end of the day than even the budgetary debate that we are having right now," he said, referencing the tens of millions dollars in provincial cuts to public health and child care funding.
Calls for 'municipal compensation fund'
On Wednesday, council voted 25-1 in favour of a motion from Coun. Josh Matlow directing staff to work with other GTA municipalities in opposing Bill 108.
Council also voted in favour of a slew of other motions, including a request to the province to either "enshrine revenue neutrality" in the legislation or create a municipal compensation fund to "support municipalities whose revenues decline" as a result of the changes.
Speaking with CP24 on Wednesday afternoon, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing steve Clark said that the changes are really just about providing "predictability" for developers and won't necessarily result in a decline in revenue to cities.
"We aren't saying that there can't be a concept of growth paying for growth but what we are saying is that there has to be predictability and there has to be transparency," he said. "The city of Toronto right now has about $200 million in various accounts that are controlled by various councillors. All we are saying is there needs to be some predictability. You can't have let's make a deal politics involved in these community benefits."

Easy To Remember Guide For Buying Sunglasses
"Turn your Face to the Sun and the Shadow falls behind you".
You not only need the courage to face the Sun, you also need a good pair of cool sunglasses. A perfect Sunglass not only protects you from harmful sun rays, dust, and pollution but also accentuates your style quotient. There are several articles out there helping you to find the right pair of glasses, but eventually, you'll have to consider the following points:
- Choose the sunglass based on the Shape of your face
- Buy the one that you can use it for many years
- Usefulness of the Product
- Comfort level
- Cost-effectiveness of Branded Product
- Precautions to use
Consider the shape of your Face
As a rule of thumb, the shape of the sunglasses needs to be opposite to your face. For an instance, if you have a round-shaped face, you can choose for a square or a rectangular shaped sunglass. Likewise, if you have a square shaped face, you can opt for a round shaped sunglass.
Go for the Style
Check the Usefulness
It's not enough just to think about only the shape and style while investing your money on the eyewear. You'll have to ponder on the purpose of using it. If you are buying it for an outdoor activity like playing cricket, the requirement differs. Likewise, using it when you are riding a bike or when you are swimming. Hence, you have to bear the end use in mind.
Never Compromise on Comfort
No matter what style or shape you are planning to go for, if you are not comfortable wearing it, it'll be of no use. As a general rule, never go for the one that is too big or too small for your face. It should always fit your face with the utmost comfort level and you should not feel uneasy.
Go for a Reputed Brand
Never Buy Sunglasses Marked as "Cosmetic"
The glasses labeled as "Cosmetic", is meant for a medical purpose and not for a style statement. It does more damage to your eyes rather than helping you. You should stay away from them unless medically prescribed. There are few people who have learned this the hard way. So, learn from their mistakes!
To wrap it all up:
Good Sunglass is more of a need than want. You must spend time and do your due diligence while buying it. I'm sure you will appreciate the time and money spent later. You can make use of the topics discussed above to base your opinion for making the ultimate buying decision.

Just look at these beautiful socks.

Pictured above are the youth size socks. The adult sizes are a little longer and are priced at $16.99. Unfortunately, Ovi's face socks are not in stock in adult sizes at the Capital One Arena store.
Back in 2016, Holtby spoke in a Capitals video about his very strong sock opinions.
"Socks can change the dynamic of an outfit," Holtby said. "You know the colors and designs… they're sneaky, but they do the trick."
Just picture the dynamic your outfit can take with this face across your shins.
The Ovechkin socks are also sold out on the Fanatics website. Here's the link to the Capitals socks should they come back in stock.
If players' faces aren't your thing, the MedStar Capitals Iceplex store has some new striped socks in stock and the Capital One Arena store has these snazzy Hockey Fights Cancer socks.
Chilly out there this weekend! Grab some new @Capitals socks at the Teamstore at @MedStarIceplex! pic.twitter.com/4YWlgValyo

Wednesday of the Fourth Week in Ordinary Time
+ In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen!
Opening Sentence
Teach me again, Lord, to number my days.
Call out in me again a willingness to love and serve.
Reading: Psalm 84:5 (NLT)
What joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
Reading: Joshua 1:8-9 (NLT)
Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
Reading: Romans 15:4-5 (NLT)
Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled.
May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.
Father, give me Your strength. I turn my eyes to Jesus Christ Your Son; may He lead me throughout the day.
+ Give me cheerfulness and a generous heart; may I bring joy to my home, my work, and all whom I meet.
+ Give me diligence and enthusiasm for my work; may all I do be done in love and service to You.
+ Draw close to those who have no work; to the disabled and sick, to those seeking work, to those who are retired.
Father, stay with me throughout the day; may I draw strength and courage from Your Presence. Through my Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
