Happiness comes to a person who tries to maintain a correct frame of mind most of the time. There are several attitudinal issues to being happy and there are issues pertaining to the state of the mind most of the time too. Discussed at this instance are the most notable of issues concerning happiness and the ways it can be used to bring on a better frame of mind.
When people exercise, they tend to release into the body certain chemicals that help relax and improve the mood of the person. A healthy person, on the one hand, is always a happier person too most of the time.
A good work out need not last an hour or so. Just five to seven minutes of the bare minimum is what is required most of the time. Exercise is a mood elevator and a mood enhancer as well.
Sleep is an inseparable part of the human body and few people realize this fact. Most people do not see sleep as a necessity and fewer still consider quality sleep either as needed for the healthy functioning of the body. A person who sleeps more would be less perceptible to the negative reactions of thoughts most of the time. But there are limits to the improvements that sleep brings the user and it has been established that there are saturation levels most of the time.
Family and friends time: Going to work and spending time working is important. Still more important is the need to spend time with family and friends. It is companionships that produce a happy individual most of the time. People that have many friends and tends to spend time among them are happier than those who lead a lonely life out all alone.
Hit the outdoors: Spending time in the outdoors can have a strong relation to how people feel about themselves. Going out improves positive thinking and the mood of the person. More than the fresh air, it is the act of having the sunshine on the body that brings out the positive side of things.
Help others: There is a saying that goes, what goes around comes around. That is by helping others people are indeed helping themselves most of the time. More than just the vibes, the act of helping improves the mood of the doer and projects a good image of oneself at most times. People that have made it a point to help others tend to be much happier and also much content with their own situation.
Take a vacation: All work and no play is not something that most people would want to commit to at any time. Taking a vacation helps focus the mind and bring the positive side of life close to the person. A well-planned vacation is a space to be oneself most of the time. Holidays should be welcomed by most people and even the most alcoholic ones need to have their breaks at most times.

IT MIGHT look like the cartoon Wacky Races has come to life but this is one of the most challenging and innovative forms of motorsport.
This is the Greenpower Education Trust challenge and it's inspiring the next generation of engineers and team members across Scotland. Through their electric-powered motorsport events, the UK-based charity spark interest in science and technology – and kick-start careers in engineering.
Certainly, the enthusiasm and determination of the students participating made it easy to forget the chill wind at East Fortune Race Circuit in East Lothian.
This was the first Scottish round of the season and there was plenty of fettling going on to get each of the electric race cars ready for scrutineering ahead of the practice sessions and separate races for the different classes.
The idea behind the Greenpower challenge is to encourage students from as young as nine all the way up to 25 years old to get hands-on with designing and developing their own race car.
Every element that is needed to run a race team and car is required, so it's not just about jumping in and driving around a track.
As part of the experience, the students are presented with a basic kit of parts. For the Formula Goblin cars aimed at the nine to 11 age group, this comprises a full kit that kids assemble into a complete car.
They can then add bodywork to make it more aerodynamic or just stand out more against their competitors. Designed with help from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, there are three classes and the middle one is for 11 to 16-year-old pupils.
Their kit only comes with the motor and batteries, so they have to design their own chassis, while the oldest age range from 16 to 25 years old design everything from scratch.
Powering the cars is a small electric motor and a battery like the one used in most cars. This means power has to be used sparingly during races as battery changes are not allowed.
However, in endurance races, the battery can be changed but it's a balance between making the most of the power and the time it takes to swap batteries. In these races, there are also three drivers sharing time behind the wheel.
This is part of what makes the Greenpower challenge so clever as it pushes the students much further than many projects would. Brian Robertson-Fern helps to organise these events and says: "The students aren't handed anything on a plate.
"They have to work out for themselves how to build the car, make it work and then run it successfully. That means thinking about race strategy, who are the best drivers, teamwork and dealing with problems as they crop up. They're not just pretending to run real race teams, they are real race teams."
This also shows up in the variety of shapes and styles of the cars. Teams are encouraged to try out new ideas to see how they alter the car's performance. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. This is key to learning how a race team operates.
On race day, there are practice sessions and races for each of the age categories. Each team competes in a number of events made up of a slalom course, drag race and a head-to-head sprint.
There are awards for the winners of each of these races as well as for the Best Bodywork, Best Presented Team and Spirit of Greenpower for a team that's overcome the biggest problems to compete. Brian says: "The students get a real taste of motorsport and it's amazing how they develop the cars.
"Some of them are kids that don't engage well in the classroom, so this is a chance to do something different where they get involved in every aspect. It's also growing fast as we only had a few teams last year and now we're filling the paddock."
That's no surprise. It might look wacky but, for the students taking part, this is serious fun.

Two of the men who died following a chase, shootings and vehicle crashes Thursday night in Harvey have been identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
Autopsies are scheduled for Jacob D. Thomas, 20, of Dolton, and Deondra Scott, 23, of Chicago, to determine their official cause of death.
One of the men was found by police with multiple gunshot wounds at 149th Street and Center Avenue, but it was unclear whether the other man died from gunshot wounds or from being ejected from a vehicle after a collision.
Police had responded to call of shots fired around 11:32 p.m. at 149th and Center and reported two vehicles fleeing from the scene.
The two vehicles were pursuing each other and occupants were exchanging gunfire until one of them crashed into a pole at 149th and Wood streets, ejecting an occupant, police said.
Police then chased the other vehicle until it crashed at 154th Street and Hoyne Avenue, they said.
Multiple occupants then fled on foot and police found guns in the vehicle, police said.
Two people involved in the incident suffered serious, but not life-threatening gunshot wounds, according to reports.
Police are investigating.

Buying and selling property is a major transaction, especially when it comes to real property. Whether it is land or a dwelling, purchasing property creates a business relationship between a buyer and seller. And like any business relationship, issues or disputes could arise. For some, this could mean a dispute over certain terms, such as value.
What is eminent domain?
Owning property may feel like more of a privilege, as it takes time and money to obtain real property; however, the ownership of real estate is a right. Residents in Tennessee have the right to life, liberty and property without unreasonable government interference.
Problems that may prevent closing on a residential home
It can take years for a Tennessee family to pull together enough money to buy their own house. Owning a home comes with many responsibilities, but before a person can call a residence their own, they must find a way to pay for it, negotiate the purchase and close on the deal. Getting to closing can take a long time, and unfortunately, there are a number of problems that can come up that can derail a family's purchase of a home.
What is eminent domain?
The basis for a government taking is found in the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Tennessee residents may know it as the "Takings Clause." This clause in the Bill of Rights ensures that private citizens cannot have their land taken from them by the government without also receiving just compensation for their losses.
Protecting the property rights of Tennessee residents
One of the biggest investments that a Jackson resident makes during their lifetime is buying a home. When they buy a lot on which to build their dream home or acquire land where they plan to erect the building for their business, they may take on a mortgage or other significant loan that must be paid back. To this end, ensuring that property owners understand their rights and responsibilities regarding their land is imperative to protecting their ownership interests.
Remedies for boundary line disputes
A Tennessee resident may save money for much of their life to purchase a parcel of property. For many, owning property is a major life goal, a financial investment, and an opportunity to have something of value to pass on to their kids. A lot of planning can go into the property buying process, and when individuals who hope to buy property decide to move forward with their plans, they may wish to consult with real estate attorneys.
Just compensation is a key element of an eminent domain case
It is commonly held that a person cannot get something for nothing. The idea behind this concept is that everything has a cost - from what one gives in their personal relationships to what they literally pay when they choose to purchase a consumer good. All across Tennessee individuals make transactional decisions when they choose how to spend their time, energy and incomes.
Zoning and its impact on land use rights
Zoning is a complex real estate topic that can have serious repercussions on how individuals may use the land that they purchase. In Jackson and communities all throughout Tennessee, property owners' rights are impacted by the zoning regulations that attach to their parcels. Although this post will provide a general overview of what zoning is, it will not provide its readers with any legal advice. Consultation with an attorney should sought by anyone with case-specific questions.
What provisions must be included in an eviction notice?
Landlords in Jackson who want to evict a tenant cannot simply kick the tenant off their property. There is a legal eviction process that must be followed. Madison County is subject to the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, which dictates how a tenant must be notified of the eviction, among other requirements. These requirements must be met for the eviction to be lawful.
What terms should you include in a real estate purchase contract?
Buying a home is exciting, especially for first time homeowners. However, there are legal aspects to purchasing a home in Tennessee, including the execution of a real estate purchase contract. This is the contract that is drafted when the buyer makes an offer on the property they wish to purchase. The following are some provisions that homebuyers may want to make sure they include in their real estate purchase contract.

Most Common Types of Boat Storage
Indoor storage - Indoor storage units are the safest, most secure option for any watercraft, however because of that they are also the most expensive. Prices do vary by size, and some small boats/jet skis can fit in a 10x10 or 10x15 unit, but your average size vessel will likely require a 10x20 unit.
Outdoor storage - Outdoor storage is essentially just an open area at the facility's property where you can park your boat. It's the least expensive option and some facilities do offer both covered and uncovered parking spots, however we advise against using outdoor storage if you live in an area that's prone to violent weather.
Tips on How to Store a Boat at a Storage Facility
- Measure your vessel before you rent your unit to make sure you choose the right size
- Give it a good cleaning before placing your boat in storage
- Drain all the water and make sure it's is dry
- Apply a coat of wax
- Change the engine oil
- Once in storage, loosen the drive belts
- Purchase a cover to keep your watercraft better protected

More Maori have been appointed to conservation boards in an effort to better represent iwi and hapū.
The role of the boards is to advise the Department of Conservation on local issues and act as a point of contact for the community.
In 2013, a Government report found they were not diverse enough.
The report found "boards should actively enhance their relationships with iwi and manawhenua through joint meetings and identification of projects of common interest".
The associate conservation minister, Nicky Wagner, said 42 percent of the boards' 135 members would now be Māori, up from 36 percent last year.
She said the boards were already working with communities to best decide what to do with conservation land.
"We want conservation boards to be really involved with what happens to land," she said.
"We've tried really hard to make sure that the people we appoint are Māori, deeply connected, and will bring their families with them."

"Stamina is the real challenge: a hoarse voice, a tired brain and a sore ass," says the actor and author, whose latest book is "Dumpty: The Age of Trump in Verse." "But as with all the spoken arts, the only bad experience is bad writing."
What books are on your nightstand?
At the moment, "She Said," by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, which I can barely put down. Also Stephen Fry's new book, "Mythos," a larky retelling of all the Greek myths, many of which I never did get straight. And Nell Freudenberger's fine new novel, "Lost and Wanted," though I must declare my bias: She's my goddaughter.
What's the last great book you read?
As a reader, I'm an enthusiast but distractible and not very discriminating. If I finish a book, I consider it great.
Are there any classic novels that you only recently read for the first time?
I recently spent time in the North of England and took along George Eliot's "The Mill on the Floss." Good choice, as it turned out.
Describe your ideal reading experience.
In the early 1990s I spent months shooting a film in Brazil. Every day we motored on the Amazon River to and from the film set, an hour each way. That's when I read Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera." If you know the book, you'll know what a perfect reading experience that was. A riverboat figures big.
Which writers — novelists, playwrights, critics, journalists, poets — working today do you admire most?
To be honest (and currying no favor), my most compulsive reading these days is on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times. Krugman, Collins, Blow, Egan, Kristof, all of them.
You've narrated audiobook versions of Dr. Seuss stories and other classic children's books. Has that experience affected your own writing for children?
Not really. Doing audiobooks is a pretty solitary experience, especially with children's books. The children are not there when you're recording, so it's not nearly as much fun as the real thing. My writing for kids was mostly influenced by authors who had fun but took children seriously: E. B. White, A. A. Milne, Maurice Sendak, Beatrix Potter et al. Them, and my own kids.
What is the experience of recording a book like for you? How is it different from the acting work you've done?
Recording a lengthy audiobook is two or three full days of nonstop reading in an airless recording booth. Stamina is the real challenge: a hoarse voice, a tired brain and a sore ass. But as with all the spoken arts, the only bad experience is bad writing. Recording a good novel can be pretty thrilling when emotions ambush you. That goes for all emotions: tears, chills and laughter. You get the feeling you're connecting with a listening audience that hasn't tuned in yet.
What book would you most like to see turned into a movie or TV show that hasn't already been adapted?
This is a tough question because, in my experience, the best movie adaptations do not necessarily come from the best books. Screenwriters need to take liberties and with a great novel, writers are often too faithful for their own good. There's yet to be a really good film of "The Great Gatsby."
Of all the characters you've played across different media, which role felt to you the richest — the most novelistic?
I read "The World According to Garp" a couple of years before the movie was made. I loved the character of Roberta Muldoon on the page but I never dreamed the book would (or could!) ever be a film. When I was offered the role I was astonished, but in the end I judged myself to be the perfect Roberta. That said, Winston Churchill (in "The Crown") and Roger Ailes (in the upcoming "Bombshell") were pretty novelistic.
Do you count any books as guilty pleasures?
I would say anything by P. G. Wodehouse is a secret pleasure. He's the only writer who reliably makes me laugh out loud. But there's no guilt involved: He was a fabulous writer.
Has a book ever brought you closer to another person, or come between you?
My sisters Robin and Sarah Jane are voracious readers and they often tell me what to read. No question: Books bring us together.
What's the most interesting thing you learned from a book recently?
Michael Lewis's latest piece of investigative journalism, "The Fifth Risk," blew my mind with its revelations about the inner workings and recent evisceration of the federal government bureaucracy.
Which subjects do you wish more authors would write about?
I'm happy to wait for the brainstorms of really good writers. Who would have thought that the author of "Moneyball" and "The Big Short" would turn his attention to the departments of energy, commerce and agriculture? And write a riveting book about them?
How do you organize your books?
I don't. They're all over the place, and when I look for one I can never find it. My professor wife keeps her books in splendid order but she ignores mine and tolerates the mess.
What book might people be surprised to find on your shelves?
"The Churchill Factor," by Boris Johnson.
What's the best book you've ever received as a gift?
I've recently received some terrific gift books from the authors themselves. I must list them all to slight none: "A Good American Family," by David Maraniss; "The Library Book," by Susan Orlean; "The Dutch House," by Ann Patchett; and my aforesaid goddaughter's book. I've been forcing all of them on everyone.
Who is your favorite fictional hero or heroine? Your favorite antihero or villain?
I loved the brooding Abe Lincoln in "Lincoln in the Bardo," by George Saunders, but Mickey Sabbath in Philip Roth's "Sabbath's Theater" is my favorite: a fantastic hero, antihero and even villain, all rolled into one. Mickey is outrageous, transgressive and wildly theatrical. Now there's a role I'd love to play, though I'm probably too tall.
What kind of reader were you as a child? Which childhood books and authors stick with you most?
I was a ponderously slow reader and still am. I can't shake the sense that I should be reading at the pace with which the author would be speaking. Maybe this is because my father read copiously to me and my siblings when we were kids, from the Childcraft series, "Tellers of Tales" and "The Jungle Book." Around the age of 10, I started collecting copies of "Classics Illustrated," major literary works reduced to the format of comic books. I amassed about a hundred of them and bound them in cardboard binders. I was very proud of my collection but, to my shame, I only looked at the pictures. Eventually I started reading actual novels but it was always a big project (and still is).
If you could require the president to read one book, apart from your own, what would it be?
"Becoming," by Michelle Obama.
You're organizing a literary dinner party. Which three writers, dead or alive, do you invite?
Three great humorists: William Shakespeare, Jane Austen and George S. Kaufman.
Disappointing, overrated, just not good: What book did you feel as if you were supposed to like, and didn't? Do you remember the last book you put down without finishing?
Quitting halfway through? I'm too embarrassed to tell you. But I will confess that, with age, it's starting to happen more often.
What do you plan to read next?
I'm waiting to hear from my sisters.

The latest in NBA off season news is that former teammates James Harden and Russell Westbrook have been reunited in Houston. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted out on Thursday night that, "The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets for Chris Paul, first-round picks in 2024 and 2026, pick swaps in 2021 and 2025, league sources tell ESPN." This means that the Rockets backcourt next season will be shared by two former league MVP guards.
Harden and Westbrook shared the court from 2009 – 2012, prior to Harden's trade to the Rockets. The landscape of the NBA and their styles of play have changed drastically over the past decade so it will be interesting to see what is in store for the next season. Ramona Shelburne of ESPN reported that Rockets Coach Mike D'Antoni allegedly will stagger their minutes to accommodate their ball-dominant style of play.
"When Mike (D'Antoni) had Chris Paul and James Harden together, they often did not play together on the court," Shelburne explained on ESPN's The Jump. "Their minutes did not overlap. My understanding is that's the same plan with Harden and Westbrook going forward."
Harden, who led the league in scoring the past two seasons, and Westbrook, who has averaged a triple double the last three seasons, have the highest usage rates in the league history. Many are skeptical of either player's ability to play off the ball but no one can know for sure. There is no sense in making any sort of predictions at this point, so how about everyone just wait and all will be revealed once the season begins.
In other Rockets news, owner Tilman Fertita was fined by the NBA a sum of $25,000 for making comments about the Russell Westbrook trade prior to its close. In an interview with Fox 26, Fertitta said, "We're excited to have Russell Westbrook. I would watch him play for Oklahoma City, and he's so athletic. At the same time, this franchise just had two years with the most wins it's ever had in consecutive years, and we wouldn't have accomplished that without Chris Paul. Chris Paul is unbelievable, and he's gonna be sadly missed."

The field of statistical methods applied to quality improvement continues to evolve and there has been an attempt to parallel this development with the editions of this book.
For the control chart chapters, Chapter 9 on multivariate control charts has grown considerably, with several new sections and many additional references.
There is also a major addition to Chapter 12. Within the past 10 years there has been considerable research on the monitoring of linear profiles and other types of profiles. Section 12.9, a moderately long section, was added to cover this new material.
A major addition to the chapter on attribute control charts (Chapter 6) has been the sections on how to use software such as MINITAB® to obtain probability limits for attribute charts, with this addition motivated by reader feedback. That chapter also contains 15 new references.
Two sections were added to the chapter on process capability indices, Chapter 7, in addition to 16 new references.
Chapter 8, on alternatives to Shewhart charts, has been expanded considerably to include sections on the effects of parameter estimation on the properties of CUSUM and EWMA procedures, in addition to information on certain freeware that can be used to aid in the design of CUSUM procedures. Following the recommendation of a colleague, a section on generalized likelihood ratio charts (Section 8.5) has also been added, in addition to 28 new chapter references.

Political Economy and the Politics of Virtue: US Public Philosophy at Century's End
Political Economy and the Politics of Virtue: US Public Philosophy at Century's End
A public philosophy is rooted in, and addressed to, a particular public in a specific historical situation. One of the most important tasks before us is to restore the public's confidence in government as the instrument of their purposes rather than as what it now appears–an alien, intrusive, unresponsive power. While few question the appropriateness of the recognition of long-denied rights, some public intellectuals are now expressing doubts about the general "culture of rights" to which it has given rise. A liberal democracy should be prepared to allow wide though not unlimited scope for diverse group practices, with the understanding that membership in certain groups may involve the voluntary renunciation of certain otherwise enforceable individual rights. If we go farther, if we press too hard on moral ideals such as liberal autonomy, democratic individuality, or direct participation in public affairs, if we require subgroups to reorganize their internal affairs in accordance with liberal democratic principles, we run the risk of exacerbating the conflicts we set out to abate.

eric nielsen replied to RJH's topic in Hell, I Was ThereIf anyone ever won every stage at a Nationals, it was prior to 1989. Can't remember less than 3 people winning stages at any national match since then.
Shooting with both eyes open
eric nielsen replied to kcafferk's topic in Handgun TechniquesSo if I understand correctly, let's say the shooter rx is -4.0 both eyes. You say that the glasses would result in experiencing a net rx of -3.25 right and -4.25 left, yes? You would experience that if the lenses are MADE -3.25 right and -4.25 left. Result for shooting would be great if like me, you get the sharpest reading vision using a +1.0 set of reading glasses (which you can try at the drug store). The more Add power you need at reading distance, the more change from your shooting-eye distance vision number you'll need. I'd briefly mention that if you get an optometrist that will work with you and not just push buttons, click wheels, and say "better, or worse?", you can get some amazing results with whatever vision need you seek to gain from a particular pair of glasses (long version would go 5 paragraphs).
Career Goals Met
eric nielsen posted a topic in What I LikeStarting next week I'll be a VA pharmacist in our favorite city in the USA. For at least 6 years I've been engineering my job experience to land this gig and it paid off. Now I can watch the tourists & smile like a native. Grateful for all the opportunities I was denied because it all worked out perfectly, 21 job interviews later. Adding my service in the Navy, a full retirement is now 14 years away.
Slide Mounted vs Frame Mounted Red Dot Optic
eric nielsen replied to Joedbenson's topic in Open PistolsI went from a vertical frame-mount C-More to a slide-mounted Docter sight, then back to a frame-mounted sight. I can definitely track the dot better with the frame mounts. Right now I have an RTS2 on a Cheely mount. Probably the best of both worlds. If I had to pick a 2nd option it would be a sideways frame-mounted big C-More but I have not owned one, just fired a mag or 2 through other people's guns.
Cheely or ?
eric nielsen replied to lrdchaos's topic in 1911-style PistolsWhen the rules were changed in Limited division for 2013, I dreamed up what was at the time probably the wildest departure from the old rules. I wanted Matt Cheely to be the builder all along. I'd tracked his progress as an Engineering graduate and as an apprentice 1911 gunsmith so for me it was an easy choice who to throw my money at. Matt liked the Limited gun plan. He put his own spin on it. He gave me a small discount for creativity/craziness. There was a minor problem in the finished gun that neither of us anticipated. It took 2 tweaks on the design for Matt to bring it up to perfect. None of that cost me a dime. Then I had Matt re-blue my Open gun. He decided he didn't 100% love the color match. Didn't charge me for it. If that sounds like a guy you want to work with and a gun you're willing to wait for, just do it. No one is better.
Double Alpha thick grips vs VZ grips
eric nielsen replied to bthoefer's topic in CZI've tried both VZ and DAA thick as well as Tyc-model thick aluminum (with tape) from CZ and several wood grips. In my opinion these beat all of them; put small strips of grip tape at the top and bottom, let your hands get used to them, and your good to go: http://www.shootingsportsinnovations.com/CZ-SCALES-BLACK-CZBLK001.htm PS: if anyone wants a Shark Fin (same company) for 2011, let me know. Great part but my hands are too big to make a good fit.
Grand Power X-Calibur: range reports
eric nielsen replied to NicVerAZ's topic in "Other" & Pistol ComparisonsGood job reviewing this gun and good job hitting the targets Patrick. I really can't justify having an X-cal but will likely buy one anyway.
Small changes like overall length or crimp or going up 2 tenths in charge may alter the flame ball effect. If you swipe your comp chambers with oil it will for sure keep your comp more clean and might help expel the unburned powder which is the source of the fireballs. N105 is even louder, shot indoors it can induce heart attacks.
It's a luck thing based on the number, shape, and location of your comp chambers and any porting holes. Another brand of bullet may travel down your barrel just enough differently to reduce or get rid of the flame balls. If you settle on another powder, you should have no problem selling your remaining 3n38 unless you live somewhere very remote. If you're in Central FL, I'll buy it. My favorite Open powders are my hoarded Vectan SP2, then 3n38, then HS6. The HS6 really shines with 115 grain bullets.

eric nielsen replied to tecumseh's topic in CZEAA has a tradition of terrible customer service, overpriced spare parts with a terrible selection. Henning Walgren does his best to support us, but he has only a few parts available. On the other hand, Stuart Wong at CZ Custom is a great guy who frequents this forum and will take good care of you, plus CZ USA offers a good selection of factory parts at reasonable prices. If the pistols are the same price, but the CZ is new, take the CZ. ^this^
What's happened to USPSA/IPSC clubs?
eric nielsen replied to gittist's topic in USPSA/IPSC ShootingTo be (more) clear, the club authorities at Malabar decided there were enough things wrong with recent USPSA matches that they temporarily suspended the membership for some of the USPSA match administrators. I don't know all the details but the issue seemed to be about match set-up. It's a shame because the last match I went to was a blast. They are asking for volunteers to help run the matches which I'd love to do but for the last year I've worked every other weekend and even on my "free" Saturdays, I've typically arrived home from the hospital Friday midnight or later. March will free up somewhat so I'll do what I can to pitch in.
Comparison between IMI and IWI made Jericho 941F
eric nielsen replied to Xander's topic in "Other" & Pistol ComparisonsConcerned that racking the slide quickly might lead to pushing down the safety and result in a dropped hammer and a dead trigger, like the Beretta 92. Do any of the models have a safety that at least springs back up? Is this a big deal, small deal, no problem? Maybe you could rack the gun from behind with a 2-finger 'claw' that keeps the safety levers up? I like the idea of hitting the decocker on the way to a pistol bucket in 3-Gun. No penalties.
Poll - G34, SP-01 or P09 for production and 3G
eric nielsen replied to Nebwake's topic in "Other" & Pistol ComparisonsIf you're really in love with the SP01 you could do the 'drop mag, rack slide' maneuver, adding maybe 1.0 to your time. Otherwise yeah, I can imagine the shag shifting on the pistol dump's rug remnant & that being enough put the Shadow off safe. With a G34 you'd just have to be sure your safety trigger pops forward. Some Glocks with the heavy trigger spring don't do that every time.
To use a Thumb Rest or No thumb rest
eric nielsen replied to jetdriver71's topic in Open PistolsI think there's more to be gained in Open with a thumb rest, compared to the other divisions. Recoil is mostly straight back, and hit factors are so high that you must trigger the gun faster than the other divisions. A good rest can help anchor the gun in all 3 directions using mostly the support hand, and allows the strong hand to relax more. I made my own. There are tons of threads on this topic if you search.
Comparison between IMI and IWI made Jericho 941F
eric nielsen replied to Xander's topic in "Other" & Pistol ComparisonsIn another thread, someone posted a picture showing the Jericho/IMI with a much bigger magwell than a Shadow. Am I right to assume that it's also noticeably bigger than a Stock II magwell? Is the IWI gun production-legal just like the IMI? Thanks!
Poll - G34, SP-01 or P09 for production and 3G
eric nielsen replied to Nebwake's topic in "Other" & Pistol ComparisonsFor 3GN and clubs with similar rules, all pistol starts are with an unloaded chamber so DA first shot is no factor, it isn't used. Having a nice big serrated slide surface to rack the first round in is a factor. So is being able to reliably, quickly safe the gun and dump it in one motion. For high mag capacity, low purchase cost & trigger-tuning cost, easy racking, and quickly dumping a safe gun, I like the P-09 with the decocker. I've only messed with one at a gun store but used the decocker several times: it's idiot-proof and falls right under my thumb. The Shadow and similar guns by contrast have ambi-safeties that can be very sloppy from side-side and require you to push the left side UP. I've tried (empty gun) to dump my Shadows at home using my trigger finger to hold the right-side lever up "just in case" and it doesn't reliably keep the gun safe, because of the parts slop.
Grand Power X-Calibur: range reports
eric nielsen replied to NicVerAZ's topic in "Other" & Pistol ComparisonsNot with the CZ (have two Shadows) and although I gave it a try, not with the STI guns either. Those tend to respond better to gripping the heck out of the bottom of the grip with strong hand pink/ring fingers, and gripping very hard, but neutral, into the left grip panel with the weak hand palm. The plastic guns it seemed like the frame flex got more noticeable, in a bad way, when I gripped them harder down near the magwell. The Vogel grip seemed to calm down the gun in a good way and a side benefit is the pressure from the entire thumb riding above the trigger area seemed to allow a much more aggressive triggering without upsetting the sight picture too much. And torque (from the bullet augering down the barrel) was more noticeable with plastic frames - also better controlled by rolling the hands in. With either grip style, you will see big improvements from using Captains of Crush grippers.
Grand Power X-Calibur: range reports
eric nielsen replied to NicVerAZ's topic in "Other" & Pistol Comparisonsjroback - Thanks for the review with the direct comparison between a gun I have and a gun I might buy - very helpful. I've also had good results using a Vogel type grip on polymer-frame guns. Something to do with concentrating gripping forces up near the center of mass? Whatever the reason, it seems to help settle things down to where only the slide is moving, not the whole gun.

Topic Description
1.1.0 Background to the study
Solid waste can be defined as "any residue that is of no use in its current state to the people who caused it'' (Khattak, Khan and Ahmad, 2009). Synonyms to solid waste are terms such as garbage, trash, refuse, and rubbish. Solid waste management refers to the collection, transfer, treatment, recycling, resource recovery and disposal of solid waste in urban areas (Ogwueleka, 2009). Human activities create waste, and it is the way these wastes are handled, stored, collected, and disposed of, that can pose risks to the environment and public health. The manners in which human beings dispose of their waste reflect the level of development of that society.
During the primitive society, waste was not a problem as land was plentiful and wastes generated were biodegradable (Ahmed and Ali, 2004). With urbanization and industrialization, urban centres witnessed influx of people, which brought about change in production and consumption resulting in the production of non-biodegradable waste which requires special management (Ajadike, 2001). In managing solid waste in developing countries, the interest is to protect the environment and public health, without recourse to urban development in relation to urban space to enhance site locations for waste collection and disposal. The inability of developing countries to plan for the high rate of solid waste generation, rapid urbanization and high population growth in relation to the accessibility of waste facilities have continued to bedevil recent programmes and policies for solid waste management.
Developed countries such as United State of America (U.S.A), United Kingdom, Switzerland and Germany have since around 1860's strategized and planned their cities with appropriate solid waste management systems, and technology by allowing the private sector to manage their wastes (Ofodile, 2002, Rosenthal, 2005). The success story of the European countries in effective solid management is through the legal framework and programmes implementation, such as source reduction, recycling, composting, incineration and landfills (Wilson, 1996). A massive volume of solid waste is generated every day in the cities of developing countries and unfortunately, solid waste management deteriorates day by day due to inadequacies in handling the increasing rate of solid waste generation (Enajetullah and Hashmi, 2006).
According to Pierce and Turner (1994), 'the systems of solid waste management in most developing countries are inefficient and ineffective'. Zurbrugg (2003) also a noted that one to two third of solid waste generated in developing countries is not collected. The result of the incapability of the waste management systems to effectively manage solid waste is the deterioration of the environment via air pollution, generation of greenhouse gases, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, vegetation depletion, water, and soil pollution (Visvanathan, 2006). In urban areas of developing countries, especially in the rapidly urbanizing cities of Nigeria, problems and issues of solid waste management are of immediate importance. The uncollected solid waste is often mixed with human excreta, clinical waste, and dumped indiscriminately in streets and drains, resulting in flood, breeding of insects, rodents, and vectors which spread diseases (Majumed and Karim, 2012).
Because of the increasing awareness of the adverse effect of poor solid waste management and some positive changes in economic circumstances, some African countries are beginning to put in place, policies, programmes and institutions to enhance environmental management, especially in municipal solid waste management at all levels (Olowameye, 1991). In Nigeria, the Federal Government showed its concern by establishing Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) in 1988, which was later upgraded in 1999 to the Federal Ministry of Environment, the various States and Local Government Areas also established their Sanitation Agencies. These moves however shows how grave the issues of environmental problems are, particularly solid waste management has become. The general urban scenery today exhibits the gradual takeover of virtually every available open space by refuse dumps, stagnated drainages and gutters, smoke-laden air, hence posing serious health hazard.
Similarly, Filani and Abumere (1996) observe that heaps of solid waste to say the least, disfigure the city image, and not only create an eye sore, but also pose tremendous health hazards. In Nigeria, the most suitable and sustainable measures of solid waste management and governance are still being debated. The inability of the state sanitation agencies to cope with effective management of solid waste in Nigerian cities including Jos-South LGA continues to pose serious challenges.
This state of consistent inability to effectively manage solid waste in Nigeria especially in Jos-south LGA necessitates continued research to identify the constraints to solid waste management. For this reason this study is being carried out to evaluate the constraints to effective solid waste management, with a view to making recommendations for improvement.
1.1.1 Statement of the Research Problem
Solid waste management is one of the major problems facing urban centres in Nigeria. With rapid increase in population and urbanization, solid wastes are accumulating faster than agencies' ability to cope with its effective management. The rate of urban growth in Nigeria is about 3.75%, while population is increasing by about 2.47% per annum (Nigeria Demographic report, 2014). As cities grow, land use becomes increasingly complex and waste generated increase in volume and variety (Omuta, 1987).
Like most cities in Nigeria, Jos city is rapidly increasing in population; from a small town of less than 10,000 people in 1930, 20,000 people in 1950, the population grew to over 600,000 in 1991 (Dung-Gwong, 2006). Besides mining, Jos was a popular recreational and holiday town for colonial officials due to its clement weather and appealing natural environment. This rapid growth of the city led to the creation of Jos-South LGA in 1991 and by 2006 it had a population of 306,716 (NPC, 2006) and this population continues to generate solid waste. In Jos-South LGA, people tend to utilize the most expedient means of waste disposal such as burying, dumping on land, in ditches and gutters, or drainage systems or burying in pits and burning. These practices have resulted in a degraded urban environment and prevalence of diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, and malaria as reported by (PLMH, 2009).This has serious implications for the economy and livelihood realities of the teeming population (Okafor, 2011).
Conscious of the above health implication, the government of Plateau State has made deliberate efforts to rid Jos city of indiscriminate dumping of solid waste. In 1976, Jos-Metropolitan Development Board (JMDB) was created to oversee urban development and city sanitation, but the Board could not achieve its goal on sanitation, which resulted in the creation of Plateau Environmental Protection and Sanitation Agency (PEPSA) in 1991 to manage waste in the city. Yet, the desire for effective management of solid wastes was again not realized. Consequently, there was a declaration of the state of emergency on sanitation in 2008 whereby task force on sanitation was inaugurated to supervise the activities of PEPSA and report directly to the Deputy Governor. Gyang (2008) and Moses (2010) report that despite all these efforts, the city is still littered with indiscriminate dumping of solid waste. Owing to the consistent inability to effectively manage solid waste in the area, it has become necessary to verify and identify the constraints militating against it
Although Agunwamba (1998) identifies some problems militating against solid waste management generally such as Lack of planning, shortage of technical man power, finance, equipment, policies, and enforcement of the law; Imam, Mohamed, Wilson and Cheesman (2008) on the other hand, recognized public behaviours as the problem which affects all the stages of solid waste management such as waste storage, collection, waste segregation, waste recycling and disposal. But these do not appear to adequately account for the parlous state of solid waste management in Jos-South LGA of Plateau State, because of its peculiarity in geography and administration.
Available literature in Nigeria shows that most attention has been focused on problems of solid waste management on specific sectors such as: attitude, governance, collection, and disposal (Ezeashi, 2007; Nzeadibe, Ayadiuno and Akukwe, 2009; Onah, 2010 and Moses, 2010). These researchers studied only topical aspects of solid waste management and evaluated its problems. As such, the determination of the problems of solid waste management using a combination of variables from the different aspects has been largely ignored, particularly in a politically volatile environment. It is against this gap in research and the persistent inability to effectively manage solid waste in the area that this study is being carried out to examine the constraints to effective solid waste management generally in Jos-South LGA, with a view to making recommendations for improvement.
1.1.2 Aim and Objectives
The aim of this study is to investigate the constraints to effective solid waste management in Jos-South LGA of Plateau State.
In order to achieve this aim, the following specific objectives were set out as follows to:
- identify and describe the current solid waste management practices in Jos-South LGA
- evaluate the constraints to effective solid waste management in Jos-South LGA
- analyse the spatial dimension of the constraints to solid waste management.
- suggest appropriate strategies for effective solid waste management in Jos-South LGA.
- HO: The difference in the spatial dimension of constraints to SWM in the study area is not homogeneous across wards.
- The findings of this study will bring to limelight the problems militating against solid waste management in Jos-south LGA.
- The findings of this study will be useful to PEPSA and Plateau State Government in addressing solid waste management problems in Jos-south LGA.
1.1.5 Study Area
The physical and human characteristics of the study area will be discussed under the following headings: location, geology, relief and drainage, climate, vegetation, soil, and socio-economic activities.
1.1.6 Location
Jos-South LGA is one of the seventeen Local Government Areas of Plateau State. It was created in 1991, having a total area of 510sqkm and lies between latitudes 9o021N and 9o461N and longitudes 8o 481E and 9o 411 E (Blench, Daniel and Nnalee, 2003), (See Fig. 1). The Local Government Area is bordered by Jos-North LGA to the North. To the East, it shares boundary with Jos-East. To the West, it shares border with Bassa LGA and to the South, Riyom and Barkin Ladi LGAs. The study area is made up of 20 electoral wards as shown in Fig. 2 namely Hwolshe, Girin, Yanghol Kuru B, Kuru A, Vwang, Kushe, Gyel B, Gyel A, Shew, Du A, Bukuru, Vander, Chigwi, Dashonong, Sot, Zawan B, Zawan A, Shen, Du B.

Terms and conditions of use
While you are on the mountain bike trails of the Trailcenter Rabenberg, you are in a forestry area in which the laws and regulations of the Sachsenforst apply. The importance of the forest for sustainable wood production and hunting, are on equal terms with preserving its natural environment and using it for recreational purposes.
Leaving the marked routes and cycling next to them is strictly prohibited!
Contraventions may result in the withdrawal of the user pass by the facilitator, without compensation, and may be punished as an administrative offense by the respective authority (§ 52 para. 2 No. 1 SächsWaldG).
Sportpark Rabenberg e. V. and its agents are responsible for the maintenance of the MTB tracks. Please mind the signposts at the tracks. Instructions and motivated orders of duly accredited agents of the Sportpark Rabenberg e.V., as well as the employees of the Sachsenforst public enterprise, must be followed.
We are constantly doing our best to maintain all security standards. However, if you should ever notice a lack of security, please call +49 37756 1710 immediately. The tracks are checked for changes and damages at least once a week.
The principle authority of forest maintenance belongs to the Sachsenforst public enterprise. Therefore, it might be necessary to close particular track sections. We inform about closed track sections in our media or at the purchase of the user pass. Users are obliged to inform themselves about closures beforehand. The closed MTB tracks and the duration of the closures are announced on information boards. Diversions of closed sections are signposted along the main routes.
We emphasize that all MTB routes are terrain courses and therefore require slight (green & blue marking) or expert (black marking) driving skills and technique, as well as a respective mountain bike at perfect technical state.
The use of MTB routes (MTB trails and forest ways) is at everybody's own risk.
Every user agrees to the fact that accidents and damages can happen as a consequence of weather influences even if the routes have been used appropriately.
Every user has to check and estimate the dangers of the tracks, including obstacles, and decide whether he/she can take the challenge.
Sportpark Rabenberg e.V. does not assume liability for any damages caused on users' bikes or equipment as a consequence of driving mistakes or material failure. Sportpark Rabenberg e.V. is only liable for property damage and bodily injury that happened as a consequence of grossly negligent behaviour or deliberate act of the Sportpark Rabenberg e. V..
In case of an accident, the ambulance has to be contacted immediately at the international emergency number 112. Please keep in mind to inform the ambulance staff on which part of the track the accident took place (slope or flat land) and where the wounded person is situated.The numbered road posts serve as orientation points. The ambulance staff has to be guided from the main paths to the place of accident.
Riding the MTB trails is permitted with a CE certified safety helmet only. We highly recommend to use guards and shin protectors for difficult trail sections. Furthermore, we recommend never to ride alone, but with a partner.
Users are always obliged to behave in a way that does not harm or threaten themselves or others.
Safety and mutual consideration have top priority!
Safety and mutual respect means keeping enough safety distance to other riders, riding at a pace that corresponds to the track, sight conditions and individual skills. Slower riders should let faster ones pass by as soon as it is safe to do so. Do not stop at blind spots, and ensure to clear them right away when stopped involuntarily.
Making changes to tracks or obstacles is strictly prohibited.
Besides the terms of use, both the fair play rules of the Sachsenforst public enterprise and the user guidelines of the DIMB apply.
The MTB-routes of the TrailCenter Rabenberg are divided into
a) route sections, which are exclusively for mountain bikers and require the purchase of a user pass (MTB-Trails) and
(b) route sections, on which the riding of bicycles and mountain bikes is open to anyone (forest paths with sufficient width)
a) Track sections accessible with user pass only (MTB trails)
The Trailcenter Rabenberg MTB tracks are a sport facility of the Sportpark
Rabenberg e.V. that is accessible for all interested persons under the following terms and conditions of use.
Cycling on MTB trails is not a part of the public access right to forests for the purpose of recreation and is facilitated by the Sachsenforst public enterprise, based on a special legitimacy statement concerning the use of forests, in favour of the Sportpark Rabenberg e. V. as responsible operator.
Every user is obliged to purchase a user pass of the Sportpark Rabenberg e. V. before entering the MTB trails. The pass gives permission to use the marked MTB trails for a certain period of time. By purchasing the pass, the user agrees to the terms and conditions of use. Users without a valid pass do not have permission to use the park and will be excluded from further use by representatives of the Sportpark Rabenberg e. V. and the Sachsenforst public enterprise.
For safety reasons, MTB trails are closed for pedestrians and other people seeking recreation according to § 13 para. 1 i.V.m. § 45 para. 6 Saxon forestry law (SächsWaldG).
Nobody is permitted to use the MTB trails from November 1st until March 31st.
Please pay attention to the following times-of-use during the opening months:
April 1st – May 15th 8.00 am – 5.00 pm
May 16th – July 31st 8.00 am – 7.00 pm
August 1st – September 15th 8.00 am – 6.00 pm
September 16th – October 31st 8.00 am – 5.00 pm
Please be especially careful at crossings of forest paths and public roads, as well as trail sections before braking chicanes. Please get off the bike while crossing main routes and roads (marked by signs). The traffic on the paths crossing always goes first.
The trails may only be ridden in the direction given. Please consider the DIMB trail rules, the fair play rules of the Sachsenforst public enterprise as well as other forestry regulations.
b) Track sections accessible without user pass
Next to the trails reserved exclusively for mountain biking marked as MTB trails, also forest paths are being used as part of the MTB tracks. These forest paths are accessible by all kind of bicycles according to § 11 para. 1 and 2 Saxon forestry law (SächsWaldG) for recreational purposes. These sections are not closed for pedestrians or other persons seeking recreation and are frequently used by them and the public forestry enterprise.
The Trailcenter Rabenberg emphasizes the importance of the fact that users pay attention and take mutual responsibility.
No fee is required for the use of these routes.

OmniRide Launches VRE Shuttles, New Website
Submitted by OmniRide/PRTC
WOODBRIDGE, VA – May is a month of change at OmniRide as the organization introduces new ways for travelers to connect with VRE, implements a Service Change for all routes and launches a rebuilt website.
VRE Shuttle Service
OmniRide will begin operating two free temporary shuttle services on Tuesday, May 28, to help commuters impacted by Metro's decision to close six Blue and Yellow Line Metro stations in Northern Virginia for the summer. While repairs are being made to all Metro stations south of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, OmniRide will offer free shuttles connecting Dale City and Lake Ridge with nearby Virginia Railway Express (VRE) stations.
Shuttles will connect stops along Dale Boulevard with the Rippon VRE station and connect multiple stops in Lake Ridge with the Woodbridge VRE station. Although the shuttles are free, riders will pay the standard VRE fare. Both shuttle routes will offer four morning trips that will be timed to meet specific VRE trains. In the afternoons and evenings, shuttles will pick up riders from all VRE trains.
"Metro's summer shutdown is going to have a big impact on our roads. Instead of adding more solo drivers to I-95, look at all the available options you have," said OmniRide Executive Director Bob Schneider. Among these alternatives are:
- OmniRide Express buses to destinations in Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C., ;
- OmniRide free shuttles to VRE; and
- OmniRide Ridesharing services that help people find carpools and vanpools.
"We're looking at this summer as an opportunity to help area residents make transit their first choice for commuting," Schneider said.
Service Change
OmniRide also will roll out a Service Change for all its Express and Local bus routes on Tuesday, May 28.
OmniRide updates its schedules twice a year because the time required to travel between destinations changes, some bus stops must be relocated, and the streets traveled may change.
Many routes have been retimed. Other highlights of the upcoming Service Changes include:
- Relocating Express bus stops along 14th Street for routes that serve Washington, D.C.;
- A new 7:30 p.m. weekday trip on the Prince William Metro Express route from the Franconia-Springfield Metro Station to the OmniRide Transit Center; and
- A new stop for the Haymarket OmniRide route at the intersection of Heathcote Boulevard and Old Carolina Road.
New Website
Last, but certainly not least, OmniRide has launched an entirely rebuilt website. The website is optimized for mobile devices because a majority of users are viewing the site from their smartphones and tablets.
The website features a user-friendly homepage with large icons to help viewers quickly find the information that's most frequently sought out: route schedules, the trip planner, and service alerts. The site also provides a more prominent presence for OmniRide Ridesharing as more people consider carpools and vanpools.
For more information about all of OmniRide's services, visit OmniRide.com or call OmniRide's Customer Service Office at (703) 730-6664.
About Us
The Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC), operating as OmniRide, provides a variety of services in Prince William County, the City of Manassas and the City of Manassas Park including: OmniRide Express and OmniRide Local bus routes; OmniRide Ridesharing for the promotion of carpools and vanpools; and OmniRide Employer Services which helps businesses to implement and expand commuter benefit programs. PRTC also co-sponsors the Virginia Railway Express in partnership with the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission.

The hard truth about animal research
AN HOUR at the zoo is enough to convince most people that apes and monkeys are close kin to humankind. Some say that an hour watching proceedings in any parliament is enough to show that humans are close kin to monkeys. Either way, we know that the primate family is an intimate one, with the great apes – gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, orang-utans and humans – particularly closely related.
It did not take genetics to tell us this, however, nor comparative anatomy. We now know that we share many of our genes …

Sales Best Practices
Unleash '18: We're So Excited (And We Just Can't Hide it!)
We are officially pinching ourselves! Unleash '18 is only a few days away, which means before we know it, we will all be whisked to beautiful San Diego for 3 days of incredible networking, top notch sessions from industry leaders, incredible learnings, and that special something in the air that can only mean Unleash has arrived. Unleash is truly a sales conference unlike any other. Here are a just few reasons to join us in getting ultra excited.
Jocko Willink! Joseph McClendon III! Roberto Monaco!
One of the trademark qualities that makes Unleash different is that we think outside of the box when it comes to speakers. That's why you'll see the most cutting-edge industry names right alongside some speakers you never expected at a sales conference...like a Navy Seal Officer who is going to lead you in your very own (optional) workout! We round out these headliners with fantastic breakouts from our own Outreach experts speaking about product best practices, industry trends, and the most current happenings in sales and beyond. This year, stay tuned for the latest on Machine Learning, GDPR Compliance, and the unveiling of the 2018 Outreach product roadmap.
Two Tickets to Paradise....Point
Yes, you want to walk away with incredible learnings, inspiring new connections, and a renewed vigor to go back and attack your sales goals...and you will! But let's face it, an Instagrammable destination never hurt, right?! While your head swims with all the ahas from your new Unleash knowledge, you can rest easy in the bungalow-style bedrooms in your private island paradise. From five swimming pools to beach bonfires and an award-winning spa, Paradise Point is the perfect backdrop for brilliant insights and learnings...with a side of your best Boomerangs. For those who did not book at Paradise Point, no worries...there are still rooms at the equally fabulous Dana, just a hop and a skip away.
Substance-Packed Sessions...No Fluff Allowed
No matter how swanky the venue, how well-made the cocktails, or how sparkling the company, we all know that a great conference really comes down to one thing: the content. Rest assured that Unleash is packed with a dynamite lineup of speakers who will drop some serious knowledge from day one. You will walk away with actionable insights, tips on using Outreach to the fullest, a first look at some of the most exciting new Outreach features, and the inspirational speakers who are bound to put a spring back in your step for when you get back to the office.
Unforgettable Experiences
From an epic Top Gun themed party (bring your aviators, Goose), to a Beach Bash and a killer Navy Seal-led workout, at Unleash, we work hard and play hard. While we are committed to delivering a spectacular program, we know that a great conference also provides the chance to bond, relax, have fun and connect with colleagues old and new.
See you in San Diego!

"The Goods" Review
Sometimes, you can just tell.
Think about it.
The name, even just the name. "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard."
Could they possibly have come up with a cheesier name for their film?
Unfortunately, in this case it's truth in advertising. "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard" is just an excuse for a no-holds-barred raunchfest with only a few jokes that really hit their mark and a tired, lazy script that fizzles out long before the film's closing credits.
The storyline, as if it really matters, involves conniving car salesman Don Ready (Jeremy Piven) and his team of high pressure, anything goes sales force that includes Jibby (Ving Rhames), Babs (Kathryn Hahn) and Brent (David Koechner). The team is hired to rescue a Temecula, California car dealership on the verge of being taken over by the evil empire of Paxton Harding (Ed Helms) and his father (Alan Thicke).
Can anyone name the last decent Jeremy Piven film?
"PCU?" Maybe?
For an actor who publicly lamented how his former best buddy John Cusack sort of abandoned him once he started to achieve success, Piven seems remarkably inept at choosing anything resembling a halfway decent cinematic project.
Stick with "Entourage." Clearly, it will be the closest you come to true success.
Now then, while Cusack can't seem to get anyone to see his truly great performances ("Grace is Gone," anyone?), he at least has the satisfaction of having appeared in numerous box-office successes, romantic weepies and has tossed in a few critically acclaimed performances.
"The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard" floats by on the basic charm of its cast, a few fun cameos, a few decent one-liners and the rather obnoxious charm of its unabashed raunchiness.
Even moreso than happened in "The Time-Traveler's Wife," "The Goods" takes a decent cast and basically tosses them aside into a sea of mediocrity that never ends until the closing credits.
Inexplicably, "The Goods" is produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. It's difficult to fathom what Ferrell saw in this material, but I suppose the same could be said for his 2009 debacle, "Land of the Lost." Maybe Ferrell is modeling himself after Adam Sandler, tossing his good buddies mediocre projects just to give them a decent paycheck?
Of course, one would think that Piven is above such a thing. Still, one has to wonder.
While "The Goods" is a modestly budgeted comedy under the Paramount Vantage label, it's likely to still struggle to recoup its budget given its opening opposite the widely praised sci-fi flick "District 9" and the Rachel McAdams led "The Time-Travelers Wife," a disappointing flick but one that has a built-in audience from the beloved novel.
Don Ready and his team may very well save the day, but they can't save "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard."
