text: Optics, imaging and photonics technology provider Edmund Optics (EO) has been awarded $2.32 million by the US Army to improve manufacturing technology for infrared (IR) aspheric optics. The funds will be used to help both foot soldiers and weapons guidance systems effectively see in total darkness, extremely dense fog and smoke. The funding, part of the Army's RDT&E, Weapons and Advanced Technology Program, recognizes that future night-vision technology requires a blend of both near- and far-infrared channels that are fused into a digitally stabilized image, at significantly reduced costs compared to what is currently available today, the company said. The funding will be used to help achieve superior contrast and clarity on the battlefield during extremely low light and environmentally challenged viewing situations. A new breed of optical designs that will further improve night-vision capabilities are expected to result from the introduction of new IR materials designed and custom engineered for superior performance at specific wavelengths, according to EO technical experts. Under the new contract, EO will explore optical design matrices using newly developed IR materials as part of its precision aspheric glass molding manufacturing technology. "Successfully molding precision glass aspheres will dramatically reduce costs and keep the manufacture of these critical defense articles in the United States," said Dr. David Knapp, principal optical engineer of Raytheon's MANTIS Program, a defense initiative that has made possible helmet-mounted night-vision systems. "Aspheric optics are highly desirable because they make possible lighter-weight, higher performance optical systems required by the next generation of night-vision goggles, tracking and surveillance, and fire control systems." "With no viable domestic cost-effective techniques available for high-precision IR aspheres, support for this DoD (Department of Defense) effort is both apparent and strongly justified," said Dr. Robert Dillon, chief science advisor at Benét Laboratories, the Army's principal government research laboratory for large-caliber munitions systems.

"I believe we need a change of direction," said Florentino Perez in February 2006 when announcing his resignation as president of Real Madrid.
At that stage of the 2005-06 season, Madrid were lagging behind Barcelona in La Liga after being beaten by Mallorca -- a more considerable force in Spain then than now -- and had just been knocked out of the Copa del Rey at the semifinal stage despite rallying to win 4-0 at home after a 6-1 first-leg thrashing at the hands of Zaragoza in La Romareda.
"Something has been going wrong and everyone could see that against Mallorca," Perez continued as he prepared to fall on his sword. Real had not won a title since 2002-03, when Vicente del Bosque led the side to a league triumph and was rewarded by being unceremoniously sacked immediately afterwards.
The parallels between 2006 and 2018 are clear: Zinedine Zidane's side are 19 points adrift of leaders Barcelona and may struggle to catch Valencia and Atletico. Toni Kroos admitted after the loss to Villarreal last weekend -- the first time in history the Yellow Submarine had sunk Madrid at the Bernabeu -- that Real's priority now is not Barcelona but ensuring qualification for the Champions League. Sevilla and Villarreal are uncomfortably close in Real's rear-view mirror and will be only too happy to deny the reigning champions a domestic route back to Europe's top table.
A "change of direction." It's a phrase Perez is fond of, having used the same line when he sacked Carlo Ancelotti after the 2014-15 season ended without a major trophy. Still, it was hardly one that ended in disaster under the Italian: runners-up in La Liga, Champions League semifinalists and a couple of minor titles in the European Super Cup and Club World Cup.
There are also similarities to be drawn from that more recent recalibration. Zidane led Real to a crushing Spanish Super Cup victory over Barcelona and saw off José Mourinho's Manchester United in the UEFA version before claiming another Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi.
Now, though, Madrid are scrapping to save their season after the Villarreal loss condemned them to two consecutive Liga home defeats for the first time since May 2009. The second of those incidentally against Mallorca, which also proved to be Juande Ramos' final game in charge at the Bernabeu. The following month, Perez assumed the presidency again as Real sought another new direction.
Vicente Boluda, who held the position for the interim months between Ramon Calderon's resignation on January 16, 2009, and Perez's unopposed election in June, once described the construction magnate's grip on the club as "that of a Roman emperor, counting the votes he wants to count."
"Votes" was an interesting choice of word, given that Perez successfully pushed through reforms to the club's statutes in 2012 to ensure practically nobody but he would meet the criteria to stand. Last summer, he again campaigned to retain his position in a field of one.
Always eager to bask in the reflected glory of a triumph, Perez is as quick to use the distraction ploys of Roman rulers when the mob is getting restless. In Calderon's view, Madrid generate stories in the media to achieve the same effect.
It is certainly a convenient coincidence that reports linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a move elsewhere, generally over a contractual dispute, tend to unerringly surface in the Madrid sports dailies at times of crisis.
Perez's 2006 resignation came with a parting shot toward the Galacticos who had failed him on the pitch. "Some of them think they have a guaranteed place and that they are the best, but they are confused."
Playing in front of Raul Bravo and Alvaro Mejia might do that to a Ballon d'Or winner. But Perez has still clearly not learned his lesson.
Any flash poll of Madrid fans would have Marco Asensio in their preferred 11 at the moment but he can't buy a start. Many would probably like to see Mateo Kovacic given a run in place of Luka Modric or Toni Kroos but club policy is to not attempt to fix that which is broken with the tools at hand. Zidane has wrested some power from the presidential sphere, but vestiges of the Galactico era remain firmly in place.
Perhaps the next upheaval at the Bernabeu will involve a former player assuming control of the club. Raul Gonzalez would enjoy popular support while Fernando Hierro has been cutting his administrative teeth at the Spanish Football Federation. The squad responded brightly to the managerial changes of a non-player (Jose Mourinho and Rafa Benitez) in favour of accomplished former footballers (Ancelotti and Zidane).
Perez would do well to remember that it is because of Zidane's success that he was able to strengthen his position further last summer. That Zidane has elected against doing the same to his squad this January should not be used as an excuse by Perez to change direction again in the summer. The buck, as it has for most of the 21st century, stops in the boardroom.

A great complication of the world today is that despite our increased years, the life in them wanes all too quickly. With improvements to life span and "wellness" comes only the benefit of drawing out the daily grind a little longer. What, though, is the point if one's drive to success is snuffed out so early? This a question that Wendy Lewis and Randy Ray sought to answer when they formed Jeunesse in 2009 after putting their hearts, minds and funds together to bring the Youth Enhancement System to the world. The idea was to target the causes of premature aging and protect what our youthful populations still have while reversing the damage that's been sustained to the wiser among us.
The problem of aging is as much the cause as it is the result of many unnatural influences in the contemporary lifestyles that we accept as "normal" today. There's a bevy of problems with sedentary living, constant exposure to electrical plants and computer devices, and the highly processed junk that we put in our systems more than ever before. These conditions are allowed to proliferate because of unhealthy habits that people are off-handedly trained to adopt. The Youth Enhancement System is poised to change this with all-natural answers to the unnatural problems that we face.
The system is comprised of the following:
- Fitness
Keep your appetite under control while accelerating the conversion of excess fat to lean muscle to get back in shape.
Tuck in cozily every night and wake up feeling refreshed to take on the world with a full tank.
- Mood and Concentration
Stay frosty with a mind-boosting protein mix, and keep that chin up to push through your responsibilities without stressing out.
- Skin Health
Maintain that youthful look with a series of creams that impart short- and long-term youth-restoring effects.
Fight back your chronic deficiencies and stay healthy for the days ahead with superfood blends.

We ended the month of July with our annual LGBT Summer Celebration. Here at LGBT Health and Wellbeing we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed both by volunteering or attending and adding to the wonderful atmosphere.
I'd like to take this time to share my experience at the celebration to hopefully encourage anyone who is hesitant about attending social events. I know from personal experience that going to something where you might not know many people, or anyone at all, can be intimidating; and for the socially awkward of us, even scary. By sharing my experience at the event, I hope to give you an idea of what LGBT Health's events are like and ease your worries a little.
I have been volunteering in the Edinburgh's offices for a couple of months now and it has been an incredibly valuable and overall wonderful experience. The LGBT Summer Celebration was the first event that we organised that I had the chance to attend and help out at. As a volunteer, I arrived before the official opening to help with some of the setting up and as soon as I walked into the building I knew that it was going to be a great experience. I was welcomed by other volunteers who were there to help with the event, and I can genuinely say that everyone there was wonderful and so excited to be working at the event. The venue was lovely, decorated with all the possible rainbow things you can find, and we had some amazing live performances that made everyone smile and even gave a little shimmy. As the helper at the craft table, I had the chance to talk to different people and get (accidentally-on-purpose) covered in glitter (I have no regrets, but I'm still finding specks of shiny foil around my house). What stood out to me most and what I will remember, is how much everyone cared about the community. It was clear that we were there to make everyone feel accepted and to celebrate the warmth and strength of our community.
So if the thought of sticking out or not knowing anyone is holding you back from coming to any of our events, please don't worry. I barely knew anyone coming there and I had the chance to meet some wonderful people who did not hesitate to start a conversation and include me in activities. Both my friends, who I brought along with me, kept commenting on how welcome and happy they felt at the event. Both, not knowing what to really expect before arriving, said that they have never been anywhere where they felt like they were not judged and they did not have to worry about how they were coming across. The atmosphere at the celebration made you feel like you could just be yourself, it was this wonderful little bubble of support and acceptance and I am so happy I got to experience it. Also, I got to see a puppy in a stroller, so that seriously made my day.
After attending the event, the name 'LGBT Summer Celebration' absolutely made sense to me. It was a gathering of people who carry out small acts of kindness in their everyday life and it is right to take a day to celebrate that. I hope that you will find the time to attend some of our events and get the chance to feel like you found a place where you can be yourself.

Saturday, November 26, 2016 at Memorial Stadium (Clemson, SC) Tigers 56, Gamecocks 7The South Carolina vs Clemson matchup was a big game for the Tigers' quarterback Deshaun Watson as his last home game for the season. Watson did not disappoint Clemson fans by dominating the game with 347 yards and six touchdown throws bringing the final score against the Gamecocks, 56-7 Clemson. On the other side of the field, Gallman rushed 112 yards and one touchdown for South Carolina but he could not hold up against Clemson's defense. The South Carolina end their regular season as bowl eligible, while the Clemson Tigers will go on to go head to head against Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship.
Saturday, November 28, 2015 at Williams-Brice Stadium (Columbia, SC) Tigers 37, Gamecocks 32The buildup to the 2015 Clemson-South Carolina game was less hyped than in previous years, as Clemson was riding an undefeated season, and the Gamecocks struggled at 3-8. But the game was every bit as exciting as typical meetings between the two South Carolina powers. The Tigers defense held South Carolina in check in the first half, while Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson thrived, running for more than 110 yards, and adding 279 through the air. But the Gamecocks rallied, scoring 29 second half points including a touchdown with less than 30 seconds left to bring the game within 5 points. But there was too much Clemson, as the Tigers took their 2nd straight against USC.
Saturday, November 29, 2014 at Memorial Stadium (Clemson, SC) Tigers 35, Gamecocks 17 It took 6 years for Dabo Swinney to get his 2nd win against South Carolina, but he did in a big way. The Tigers dominated the 112th meeting between South Carolina and Clemson from start to finish. Clemson's quarterbak Deshaun Watson had one of the best games of his young carreer, throwing for more than 260 yards, and 2 touchdowns, without throwing an interception. Clemson's win broke South Carolina's 5 game winning streak in this rivalry, which was the longest uniterrupted winning streak the Gamecocks have ever had over Clemson.
Saturday, November 20, 2013 at Williams-Brice Stadium (Columbia, SC) Gamecocks 31, Tigers 17 The game was close into the fourth quarter, but 14 unanswered points from South Carolina put the result in the bag for Steve Spurrier's team for the fifth straight year. Taj Boyd was intercepted twice in the contest and his only TD came on the ground in a game where Clemson had the ball for less than 22 minutes. Connor Shaw managed the game for South Carolina and wideout Pharoh Cooper threw the final TD of the game with 3:44 left.
Saturday, November 24, 2012 at Memorial Stadium (Clemson, SC) Gamecocks 27, Tigers 17 South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier's 65th win makes him the winningest coach in Gamecocks history, and it was the fourth straight win for South Carolina over Clemson. Jadaveon Clowney had 4.5 sacks on the usually-elusive Clemson QB Taj Boyd to lead South Carolina to its 10th win of the season. Clemson went out to a 14-7 lead in the first quarter, but an Ace Sanders 34-yard TD swung it back in SC's favor. Clemson held the ball for only 20 minutes in the contest, compared to South Carolina's 40 minutes.

"A little place called Hardrock"; or the story of how Hardrock came to be
Background on Drow
Drow are a dark-skinned sub-race of elves that predominantly live in the Underdark. They have a much higher birthrate than most other elves, but strife tends to keep their numbers down.
Elvenblood is a somewhat different Drow community – for one it is lead by a male Drow. It still holds true to the typically militaristic nature of Drow communities, though they do not revere Lolth. Additionally, unlike most Drow societies which would be considered highly civilized, Elvenblood has a tribal, almost barbaric feel to it.

Seeking a career in the medical field no longer means being either a doctor or nurse. Respiratory care professionals are instrumental in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and preventive care of patients with cardiopulmonary problems.
Lone Star College-Kingwood's Respiratory Care program trains students to become skilled professionals who can carry out specific therapeutic measures that will assist respiratory-distressed patients. To learn more about the college's successful program, prospective students are invited to information sessions on Oct. 2 and Dec. 4 at 6:30 p.m. in the Health Science Building (HSB) room 116.
"The purpose of the respiratory care program is to develop effective, efficient members of the health care team specializing in the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic heart and lung disease," said Kenny McCowen, respiratory care program director. "Prospective students are not required to bring anything to the information sessions but are encouraged to ask questions. We will have current students there to give the student perspective of the program."
Respiratory care students learn skills such as the evaluation and assessment of patients in the acute, sub-acute and home care areas as well as procedural skills that include oxygen therapy, aerosol therapy, airway care, mechanical ventilation, diagnostic testing and home care/rehabilitation.
The respiratory care program has a competitive enrollment process. Students are eligible to apply at any time, but only 20 students are enrolled per class. During the application process, applicants must take the Health Sciences Reasoning Test (HSRT). Selection of students is Nov. 15 for the spring semester and April 15 for evening classes that begin in June each year. Every other year, students can apply for the satellite program at the Lone Star College-Health Professions Building located at 17200 Red Oak Drive in Houston.
"The program prepares individuals to become active members of the health care team to deliver quality respiratory care and improve the lives of individuals they treat during their professional career of respiratory care," McCowen said. "Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Board for Respiratory Care credentialing examinations."
Respiratory care is a two-year program leading to an Associate of Applied Science degree. It is six semesters long and to earn the AAS degree, students must complete 67 credit hours.

Lack of joy is in the absence of grace, and often I think this is due to legalism. What a dirty word. I hate, hate, hate it. Legalists really push my buttons. Probably because I used to be one. In a very recent conversation with a dear friend, I realized how I'd been watched earlier in my Christian walk. Further reflection caused me to grieve for my legalistic ways and how they have contributed to my dear sister's hurt and confusion. I used to hurt the same way. I didn't even know I was perpetuating this common malady of the American Christian church…
Most of us raised in the church, or saved for a very long time, especially in our Western Christian culture, can identify with legalism's nasty grip and lasting effect. We have to DO things right and make sure others do, too! We can't miss church, or quiet time; we must 'say grace' before a group meal, and never say 'no' to whatever is asked of us… Pretty soon we forget why we even started down this path; We become frustrated and angry and burned out; and we don't even know why. We lost our joy because our joy stopped originating from the Giver of Himself; It gradually shifted to us — us trying to be what we think He wants us to be. Or maybe what we think the Pastor or Pastor's wife, or some other brother or sister wants us to be.
A life of liberty comes from knowing God, from seeing and savoring Jesus Christ. Not for what He does for us, but simply (or maybe not so simply) Who He Is. We are here to make much of God; to glorify Him alone. Sure, we go to church because we are more effective in this together. Sure, we pray and read God's word because we hunger and thirst for Him like water in a dry desert, not because we feel obligated to put in our 20 minutes of quiet time… When the perspective changes to God Himself being our very food, water and breath, legalism creeps quietly and rightfully out the back door.
The liar of liars wants us to carry around guilt for not doing. Or not doing things right. The Giver of Himself wants us to know and love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. If we do that the liar is shamed and hushed, and we are joyful and victorious.
"When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God." ~Ephesians 3:14-19

We headed to the West Millard Pool today to escape some of the winter cold. It turned out to be a snowy drive with roads full of drifting snow, but once we got into the warm and humid environment at the pool, it was all worth it. We went with friends, which made it even more fun.
I was hanging out with Desert Girl, and next thing I know, Desert Boy was up on the high dive, aka the high "jumping board." I wasn't too sure how this was going to turn out.
I remember being so scared going up on the high dive when I was a little girl on the summer swim team. I tiptoed to the edge and looked down and the water seemed so far away. Eventually I gathered up my nerve and jumped off--and survived.
Desert Boy didn't feel any of my fear. He just went to the end of the board and jumped.
Then I was wondering if he would be composed enough to swim to the wall. He's not a great swimmer, and after all, he's just 5. But he made it. Not only that...
One of the things that surprised us was how few other people were at the pool. For us, it was a wonderful excuse to escape the house on a frigid day when we would be stuck inside due to the cold. Maybe the locals have other ways to deal with getting cabin fever!
It was great fun, plus some really nice exercise. I think all the kids will sleep well tonight! (And maybe the parents, too!)

Randomized Controlled Trial of Enhanced Pharmacy Care in Older Veteran Outpatients
Complications resulting from medications, or adverse drug events (ADEs), are prevalent and are a major source of excess morbidity and costs. ADEs are particularly problematic in older patients because of their higher burden of comorbidity and diminished physiologic reserve. In addition, older patients are more likely to be exposed to polypharmacy, a major risk factor for ADEs. While ADEs may be idiosyncratic, many result from medical errors and inadequate systems for ensurin...

Iatrogenic Drug Risk in People Over 75, With or Without Cognitive Disorders, From an Inventory of Their Family Pharmacy
Many hospitalizations or emergency room visits are due to problems of iatrogenic medication, especially in elderly patients who are very often polymedicated. Moreover, they are more at risk because of fragility. This has an important socio-economic impact. It therefore seems important to act upstream of these adverse events and a review of the drugs available in the homes of elderly patients seems a good starting point.

After several weeks of failure to provide timely healthcare to U.S. military veterans–with some dying as they waited for care that would never come–the Veteran's Administration will allow veterans to pursue private healthcare options to improve their treatment.
On May 24, the Associated Press reported that VA chief Eric Shinseki announced a new plan for VA hospitals and healthcare providers to work more with private doctors. Shinseki told the press that the VA is "increasing the care we acquire in the community through non-VA care."
Shinseki makes this concession as 26 VA facilities thus far are being investigated for forcing sick veterans to wait for months to receive medical care. As many as 40 veterans allegedly died waiting for care on these lists.
The VA reportedly spent $4.8 billion on medical care given to veterans at non-VA facilities. That amounts to about 10 percent of the VA's medical budget.
However, many wonder what took the VA so long to arrive at this decision. Congressman Jeff Miller (R-FL) chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee released a statement criticizing Shinseki and the VA.
Miller charged the Obama administration and the VA of engaging in "an endless discussion regarding allegations, investigations and unreliable internal VA reviews" while at the same time "overlooking VA's very real, very deadly and very well-documented delays in care" problem.
Senator John McCain (R) has also called for the VA to allow veterans to secure healthcare outside the VA system.
While that appears to finally be happening, the fact that government is admitting failure and opening itself to participation from the private sector seems to run contrary to Obama's government-first mantra, especially when it comes to health care.

More character sketch than story, Rolli's debut picture book introduces a little girl who always wants "just one more."
Starting with her request for "just one more minute" of sleep when woken, blonde, pink-cheeked moppet Ruby asks for several other things without coming across as spoiled or demanding. This is due to her sweet depiction in Rolli's digitally enhanced oil paintings that show her smiling and enjoying hair thingies, rides on a mechanical horse and dropping pennies in a fountain to make wishes. She does end up learning an overt lesson when her request for "just one more scoop" of ice cream causes her towering cone to topple over. Then she makes do with "just one toy in the tub" (albeit a gargantuan rubber duck that looks more like a pool toy) and "just one book before bed" (a huge volume entitled The World's Complete Book of Fairy Tales). Judging by the lipstick marks all over her face, however, her request for multiple bedtime kisses is indulged.
A sweet, if simple, picture-book character sketch. (Picture book. 2-5)

Bernard Monroe was gunned down as he approached his front door to ascertain the cause of the commotion at his family barbecue.
On the last afternoon of his life, Bernard Monroe was hosting a cookout for family and friends in front of his dilapidated home on Adams Street in this small northern Louisiana town.Pam's House Blend has more details about the incident. After shooting the elderly grandfather the police refused to call for medical help until they had placed a gun near the dying man and called for more police officers to arrive.
Throat cancer had robbed the 73-year-old retired electric utility worker of his voice years ago, but family members said Monroe was clearly enjoying the commotion of a dozen of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren cavorting around him in the dusty, grassless yard.
Then the Homer police showed up, two white officers whose arrival caused the participants at the black family gathering to quickly fall silent. Within moments, Monroe lay dead, shot by one of the officers as his family looked on.
Image by seanbonner via FlickrRecently, psychologists have been taking a hard look at racial prejudices that exist in police departments that are possibly leading to excessive force and lethal force when it is not needed.
Psychologists are stepping up research into the implicit, unconscious racial biases that may be driving such statistics and affecting police behavior.
"If in fact police have implicit biases-if they automatically associate blacks with crime-then that would be relevant to an officer in a split-second, shoot-or-don't-shoot situation," said Lorie Fridell, a criminology professor at the University of South Florida who is creating a new anti-bias police training program with funding from the Justice Department. "Is the officer more inclined to believe he sees a gun in the hand of a black person, rather than a cell phone? I think that is possible."
Lot's more information on this incident at Pam's House Blend.
Of course, the question lingers will these officers be charged with murder or will they, as is usually the case, be placed on "administrative leave" while the incident is "investigated" and then quietly returned to duty when those in charge think the storm has passed?

Get The Locksmith Advice That You Need locksmith charlestownGet The Locksmith Advice That You Need locksmith charlestown ma
A locksmith could soon become one of your best friends when you are faced with an emergency. When you accidentally lock your child or pet in the car, you need a locksmith that will rush to your aid immediately. These ideas will help you choose a competent locksmith to take care of such situations.
Always get keys made by a locksmith that is close to your home. Sometimes keys are not calibrated correctly and they will not fit the lock in question. Going to someone too far means there will be a hassle if you have to take the keys back. Aim for a place that is a mile or two from where you live.
You can still go to a locksmith and have them make you copies if you have a key that says "do not duplicate" on it. Many people offer these keys because it encourages you to pay them to get duplicates. Most locksmiths won't think twice before making you a spare.
If a locksmith asks for your identification or questions you a little, do not be offended. He or she needs to make sure they are helping the person that actually owns the home or the vehicle. You would not want to work with anyone that did not ask questions to verify authenticity.
While it is important to understand how much the job will cost, it is also important to be aware of any other fees involved in the process. For example, some locksmiths charge extra for emergency service. Others will tack on a fee if they have to drive a certain distance. Question the locksmith about this so that you understand how much you will be charged.
In most states, locksmiths are required to have insurance. Ask to see proof of any policies before they start doing any work. You want to make sure that you are covered in case they do a shoddy someone and job gains unauthorized access to your home. Do not allow a low price to make you overlook this.
Don't be afraid to do a little comparison shopping when you need a locksmith for your family. While trust and reliability are mainly the most important qualities to look for in a locksmith, you shouldn't end up being charged a fortune either. Look when you don't need one and get your money's worth.
You should always receive an estimate in writing before you have any work done with a locksmith. This will let you know how much their services will cost, and ensure that you do not pay more than the stated upfront cost. You do not need a surprise when it comes time to pay.
Don't be afraid to do a little comparison shopping when you need a locksmith for your family. While reliability and trust are mainly the most important qualities to look for in a locksmith, you shouldn't end up being charged a fortune either. Look when you don't need one and get your money's worth.
Though you surely want a great price, you also may get what you pay for when you go too cheap. Doesn't mean they should be hired, just because a locksmith offers the lowest price. Shop around and get a few quotes, and go with one that's in the middle of the price range.
Always ask a locksmith to show you a copy of his license before he starts working. Legally, locksmiths are required to have a pocket copy of their license with them at all times. If they refuse, call a different locksmith. Contact the police if they try to charge you just for showing up.
Find out how long a locksmith has been in business. Make sure they've been doing operations from the same location. If the company has been around for several years, that's good news.
Ask your family, friends and coworkers who they have used for locksmithing services in the past. Potentially those to avoid, even though this will not only give you a list of people you can trust. It will also help you to discover who is local, meaning you can track them down easily.
Ask if the locksmith has an invoice on them which they plan to fill out once the work is done BEFORE they start. If it appears professional, look at it to see. Is it on letterhead? Does it include their company address and name? Or do they plan to create a handwritten invoice? If so, send them on their way.
Check out local consumer protection agencies when you are creating your list of potential companies to hire. They will provide you with information on both good companies and those which have many complaints against them. This extra step is worth it in helping you to narrow down your list.
It is important that you ask for recent references from your locksmith. That said, don't just ask for them, follow up on them! If you don't call, you'll never know if the references are good or bad, or if they even exist. At least call a few, although you don't have to call them all.
Once the work is done BEFORE they start ask if the locksmith has an invoice on them which they plan to fill out. If it appears professional, look at it to see. Is it on letterhead? Does it include their company address and name? Or do they plan to create a handwritten invoice? Send them on their way if so.
If you live in a state where licensing is mandatory, ask your locksmith how you can verify that their license is current. If they happily give you that information, you can double check their license. On top of that, you know that they are likely a trustworthy professional as a result.
Flat out ask a locksmith about fees that haven't been mentioned to you up front. Too many poor locksmith services try to tack on additional More Info costs at the end of the service. Asking up front about hidden fees might show you costs you didn't expect. Plus, it'll give you a chance to gauge the response you get. You'll be able to tell whether this company is reputable or not.
Your locksmith may also have to have a contractor's license to do the work if the scope of the work done at your site ends up being more than $500. If this is the case in your state, be sure to check with your local Department of Consumer Services to determine.

Existentialism is philosophical view on the world. It is the idea of why and how humans exist in the world. Existentialism looks deep into things such as anxiety and freedom as those two things in particular affect how people go about the world and why they make the decisions that they do make. In order for someone to understand themselves, existential philosophers believe that a person must have an awareness of death and be conscious of living. The most important part of existentialism is that a person has the ability to make a choice for them self, and because of this they will gain experience on how to exist in the world on their own. There have been many faces to existentialism, such as Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Sartre and Husserl.
Kierkegaard, who was born in 1813 and died in 1855, and was not alive long enough to know he was even part of the existentialist movement, but he is considered the "father of existentialism."
Kierkegaard believed that people could not be understood through a scientific theory or a biological explanation, but only from that person's experiences with life and the dilemmas that go with it. He is a reason why existential philosophers value the idea of choices and freedom, for there cannot be a reason to live unless one has a choice to make when faced with an issue.
Existentialists believe that humans are "thrown" into the existence, according to Heidegger, and that humans have no choice but to come into existence. People are "thrown" into existence even before they can create a concept or an idea. This idea is explained even deeper by a philosopher named Jean-Paul Sartre, that "existence is prior to essence." This idea conceives itself as being something that only can be understood as this basic...

An extended rest ends
November 2008 Since the last post, the big bird had not been exercised very much. A persistent flu on my part and several weekends of poor flying weather conspired to keep the bird in its roost.
Eventually, I did get a chance to haul the aircraft out of its hangar for a flight last weekend. As I pulled the prop through two blades, I felt an unyielding resistance - signifying a hydraulic lock. It was the first hydraulic lock I experienced for this bird, and it probably wouldn't be the last.
Having stood still for about seven weeks before this flight, oil must have flowed into and collected in the lower cylinders. Oil drain valves reduce but don't eliminate the chance of such hydraulic locks. Rather than pull the spark plugs from the lower cylinders, I gently moved the prop backwards a little until oil flowed from the drain valves and exhaust pipes.
When the flow stopped, I moved the prop backwards again until the oil resumed flowing and eventually stopped. Then I began pulling the prop through again and confirmed the lock had cleared. To be extra cautious, I pulled 24 blades (12 full revolutions) just in case residual oil remained to cause another lock.
After my tiring pre-flight calisthenics (ie prop pulling), I climbed into the big bird's cockpit and strapped in. Just before pushing the starter button, I hoped the extended rest wouldn't cause a difficult start as I wasn't in the mood for refilling the air bottles manually.
As I pushed the starter button, the customary "pop" sounded. Promising. Counting two blades, I then flicked both magnetos on. With a big cough, cloud of white smoke followed by a throaty roar, the trusty M-14P radial came to life and settled into its trademark "chug, chug" sound. Satisfaction. Boy, the Russians build dependable flying tractors!
The rest of the flight was fun as the bird metal bird was put through its usual exercise routine. I did monitor the engine instruments far more frequently than normal - just in case. In the end, the aircraft behaved very well. And finally, a good workout was rounded out by one of my smoothest landings yet in the beast.

(typed on a sprint sanyo cell phone using a T9 keypad)
Web2Go, next door to the Village Voice near Cooper Union, offers somewhat affordable service. Kinko's, late night, is $18 an hour, but like laundromats attracts the unusual aspects of humanity. Many Burger Kings in the City, some open late, have internetterminals.
Otherwise, grab a book, wait for it to return, and just post a "technical difficulties" shingle so your faithful readership does not worry over your absence.
and back in the day, we used voicemail journals or vojos, grabbing audio soundbites by recording it with the phone. The best site was the Western Electric Orchestra, where people composed or adapted music using keypad tones. Ah, Ma Bell… where have you gone?
Scott Bieser says
My brother (who runs a data center in Austin, Texas) has noticed some weird things going on with Internet traffic in the last few days. He's not sure what it means. I also see a report that the world's most prolific spam generator had its plug pulled a couple of days ago, resulting in a 70 percent drop in spam traffic.
So, there is weirdness in the Innertubez lately.

The United Nations monitor on poverty and human rights has issued a devastating report on the condition of America, accusing Donald Trump and the Republican leadership in Congress of attempting to turn the country into the "world champion of extreme inequality".
Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, has completed a two-week official tour of the US by releasing an excoriating attack on the direction of the nation. Not only does he warn that the tax bill currently being rushed through Congress will hugely increase already large disparities between rich and poor, he accuses Trump and his party of consciously distorting the shape of American society in a "bid to become the most unequal society in the world".
