Q&A: Sword as part of a Roman Centurion Outfit in NY.?
Question by Erik M: Sword as part of a Roman Centurion Outfit in NY.?
I've searched hard for the answer to this, but it's not that clear cut – all answers welcome, especially from a law enforcement background!
I'm planning to wear a blunt Roman metal sword as part of a Halloween costume which will be conspicuosly hung by a belt in a scabbard. Looking at the laws I could find in NY state, I did not see this as an "illegal" weapon as defined by the statutes I could find, since the focus was primarily on concealed firearms. Also, this will be conspicuously displayed and not used in a threatening manner against anyone.
Should I print out a section of the statute just in case I get approached by the police? (I'll be in NY City). Also, if I did not wear it in public, but only in private parties, would that make a difference? If I transported it in a bag or vehicle, would would those implications be?
Thanks so much!!
Best answer:
Answer by law138
Not sure about NY….but I'd suggest you transport it in your trunk (might do a number on the leather if you attempted to sit in the car with it…Ha). If you are going to a private party, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I would make sure it remains secured in the scabbard at all times so some drunk idiot doesn't start playing gladiator with it (that includes you….Haa JK).
I'm sure the NYPD will have plenty going on on Halloween and won't be on the look out for Centurion costumes with real swords.
I wouldn't carry it in a bag….that looks suspicious….I would think it was a rifle if it was in a bag.

Communication plays a very significant role in changing paradigms, especially in this digital age. In this speech, which I delivered at the Silliman University College of Mass Communication, I shared how I used my background in the field of communication to advocate for people with bleeding disorders.
April 17 is celebrated as World Hemophilia Day to raise awareness about hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. Globally, 1 in 1,000 people has a bleeding disorder. Most are not diagnosed and do not receive treatment. Together we can change that. Let's all ask Google to feature the World Hemophilia Day in its Doodle on April 17. Write to email@example.com with the subject: Google Doodle for World Hemophilia Day on April 17.
On April 11-12, our Women's Group at the Hemophilia Association of the Philippines for Love and Service (HAPLOS) will be spearheading an exhibit at the Glorietta Mall Activity in Makati City to raise awareness on hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, as well as to raise funds.
I am trapped in a man's world. But of another kind. For many years, medical science believed that bleeding disorders such as Hemophilia only affect boys and men. And so even as I grew up experiencing heavy monthly bleeds, I was never considered a candidate for a bleeding disorder.
Hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease and other factor deficiencies are rare genetic disorders that affect the person's ability to clot. It is usually sex-linked and thus, boys who inherited the X-chromosome from their mothers are more likely to show symptoms. On the other hand, girls who got it from their fathers, are said to unlikely show symptoms.
How does it feel to bury the love of your life?
The question kept ringing in my head during the rest of my flight to Davao as I sat beside a man who came home to bury the very person that he wished he could spend the rest of his life with.
This past week was a dream come true — hosting two of the most dedicated leaders in the global hemophilia community.
SOON, hopefully very soon, Filipinos with Hemophilia, von Willebrand Disease (vWD) and other inherited bleeding disorders will finally get assistance from the government if the bill filed by Sen. Grace Poe few days ago is passed into law.
I had always thought that it was "normal" for girls and women to bleed heavily during their monthly periods. After all, I grew up seeing the chamber pot (arinola) in my parents' room filled with red liquid on the weeks that my mom had.
It was not unusual for us—my mother, my sisters and I—to go home unplanned on days we had our periods because of blood stain. Our mother knew she was a "bleeder." Like her, we would all "bleed" for weeks to months. But at a time when the Internet was still unknown and medical journals were hard to access, doctors did not have any explanation on our excessive and prolonged menses. Only boys and men could have bleeding disorders, we were told.
Death they say comes in threes. The Philippine hemophilia community mourns the passing of 10-year-old Raven Pontillo, 24-year-old RJ Bunag and 2-year-old Kylle Loquias.
Women with bleeding disorders continue to struggle for recognition. Many doctors and medical practitioners mistakenly hold on to the belief that only males can be affected by hemophilia. This is because hemophilia is generally perceived as a sex-linked disorder. Since males only have one X chromosome while females have two, the defective gene is guaranteed to manifest in any male who carries it. And because females have two X chromosomes, the probability of having two defective gene is very remote (plus the fact that hemophilia is rare).

Wild Tiger Pins (formally Punk Rock Buttons) was started in 2005 in a garage in Burbank, CA by 21 year old, Jenny Stench. Originally starting out with just 1" pinback buttons for bands and local businesses. In 2009, Jenny moved to Boston, MA and begun focusing more on pushing the business to where it is today. In 2011 she added 1.75" pinback button options. However, still unhappy with the growth of the business and the direction of things, Jenny decided to have enamel pins made of her own designs, starting with the yellow variant Wacky Tiger that gave the business its new breath of fresh air and helped with the renaming and rebranding. Now the business has over 30 enamel pins and works with local artists doing collaborations on new items. She has also began carrying a variety of other items such as children's clothing and patches.
If you'd like to have your own custom 1" or 1.75" Pinback Buttons made, please email Jenny at firstname.lastname@example.com for pricing and more info.

Hello, I'm Renée Aleshire Brown, I am both owner and virtual assistant at Great Peace Virtual Assistance. I have blogged on my own blog Great Peace Academy as a homeschool and family lifestyle blogger for 5 years. In that time I have learned the ins and outs of blogging.
Having started on the Blogger platform and later switching to self-hosted WordPress I am well-versed in the overall functioning of both.
Over time, I have been asked to begin performing a variety of online tasks for individuals and small business owners.
I've been able to hone my skills while working alongside a large premiere blogging network of over 100 bloggers. While serving as project manager I have learned how to manage collaborative blogs, weekly link-ups, as well as growing my skills on social media content marketing.
One of my specialties is social media parties. I am able to manage both Twitter and Facebook parties as well as Google + hangouts.
Out of all the projects I have worked on, my favorite thing to do as a virtual assistant is to do task management. I enjoy taking complex projects, breaking them down into manageable tasks and then setting to work and seeing a project to completion.

Understanding Cytokinesis and Cell Shape Control
Multi-cellular living organisms grow from single cells into multicellular, complex systems composed of highly diverse cell-types organized into tissues, which in turn form organs and organ systems. To organize and maintain this complex architecture, the organism must undergo constant renewal through cell proliferation and elimination of unwanted cells. This process of tissue development and homeostasis requires chemical and mechanical information to be sensed by the cells within the tissues, and in turn, interpreted to guide their decision making: to divide, migrate, constrict, or die. Failure in these processes lead to diverse diseases, such as hypertension, degeneration, and cancer.
We have been studying cytokinesis (cell division) as a model cell behavior that incorporates internally generated signals with external mechanical cues to drive healthy cell shape change. We have discerned the mechanics that drive this process, and identified how the cell senses external forces (mechanosensing) and transmits them to changes in the chemical signaling pathways that guide cytokinesis.
While we continue to study how these processes direct cytokinesis, we are also learning how these same principles apply to diseases such as cancer. For example, we have identified how mechanical cues guide aberrant behaviors of breast cancer cells. In this case, we found that cancer and non-cancer cells can compete with each other, and due to their unique mechanical properties, the cancer cell (winner cell) can often engulf and kill the non-cancer cell (loser cell).
In another project, we are exploring how cellular growth control pathways lead to defects in cell mechanics. In particular, a key regulatory pathway, which guides liver formation and leads to liver cancer if the pathway becomes uncontrolled, also controls the hepatocyte mechanical properties.
Finally, we have found that many of these same principles apply to the development of a mammalian egg where disruption of the cell mechanics machinery causes defects in the formation of a healthy egg. Such mechanics defects could contribute to some types of human infertility and/or birth defects.

Will You Choose the Cheap Contractor? Or the Artist?
A few months ago, my friend (who I'll call Clare for the sake of this true story) was in the position to choose a contractor for the small, charming century-old house she gutted and is bringing back to life.
Clare got full bids from two contractors. Contractor Artisan's bid was more expensive by 10s of thousands of dollars, but he has a reputation for being an artist and a perfectionist.
Contractor Cheapo's bid, on the other hand, was 10s of thousands of dollars cheaper, and he has a reputation for being less than exacting in his work, and does work of lesser quality.
So, Clare had to decide: Do I pay extra for the craftsman, or save money and get less quality?
You may one day be in this situation and you may wonder how to make the decision.
I'm pretty sure you don't want to do what Clare did, which is to hire the cheaper guy and then spend months complaining about the schlocky work he does. "Sins" so far include framing that looks like a 10-year-old did it (safe and legal but ugly), crooked trim work, and mistreatment of expensive fixtures.
So how do you decide what to do? Ask yourself a few questions:
1. Is saving money the most important thing in life without exception?
If yes, choose Contractor Cheapo
If no, keep asking questions
2. Is having a high-quality project the most important thing in life without exception?
If yes, choose Contractor Artisan
If no, keep asking questions
3. Is complaining about the faults of contractors a favorite pastime?
If yes, choose Contractor Cheapo
If no, keep asking questions
4. Is having a warm feeling from having the most considerate, thoughtful contractor important?
If yes, choose Contractor Artisan
If no, keep asking question
Bottom line: There is of course a great desire to have the best quality job for the cheapest price. Good luck with that. I guess it's theoretically possible. But in reality, from my observations over several decades, you get what you pay for. That's just the facts, folks.
As this house project goes on and Clare has more indignities to deal with each day from Contractor Cheapo, it's all I can do to keep my mouth shut. What I really want to say, though it would not be helpful in the least, is this: "You consciously and knowingly chose Contractor Cheapo in order to save a few bucks. This is the result of that decision. Stop complaining."
Of course, I won't say that to Clare. I care about her and don't want to add to her misery. But I'll say it to you. If you choose to save money by hiring the guy with no experience, or the guy with no license, or the guy who's moving around so fast from job to overbooked job, you deserve what you get. If you don't want to put yourself in that position, make a different choice.
However, if saving money is the most important thing in your life without exception — and is more important than a high quality job, or peace of mind, or anything else — then by all means, hire the cheapest guy you can dig up.
But please don't complain about the pain you are bringing into your life. At least not to me.

Kailash sacred landscape covers more than 31,000 km2 geographical area and is spread across China, India, and Nepal. It exhibits diverse vegetation, starting from tropical forest at around 800m altitude to alpine steppe found at altitude higher than 4000 m, and transecting across subtropical, montane, grassland, subalpine and alpine vegetation.
The vegetation type and land cover map forms the basis for planning and management for ecological conservation, tourism, enhancement of livelihood value chains, climate change studies, biomass and carbon studies, study of ecosystem services, and a lot of other practical uses as well. However, since it is a transboundary area with three countries, several classification systems of vegetation and maps exist. It becomes challenging to integrate these maps owing to their differential scales, names and sources.
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) through its Kailash Sacred Landscape Initiative has been able to harmonise the vegetation type classification scheme with its country partners in China, India, and Nepal. The final map of Kailash Sacred landscape was launched at ICIMOD, which was compiled through two years by partners, experts in ecology and remote sensing, and other stakeholders. The map depicts the percentage of area covered by 14 vegetation types and five land use/cover types from Kailash Sacred Landscape. It will be available through online platform for researchers, policy makers, and other stakeholders working in the landscape.
The harmonisation and learning process is crucial information for ICIMOD's and other transboundary landscape initiatives in the HKH.
Combining several other data layers with the map (e.g. wildlife population and habitat distribution, springshed location, institutions of forest management, livelihood types etc.) KSLCDI plans to upscale the information for effective landscape level management on a transboundary scale that links institutions, interventions and investments.

Speaking of rolling, check out the wheels on this adorable baby coach made by Vicky. A few layered flowers, a button and a rose to top it off. What a great idea! I'm really liking the idea of presenting the baby's picture in the pram too! Very sweet!
Vicky has also shared this pretty page with us. Lots of details to take in. Get a "wave" at that fan in the corner. Made with an accordion pleated paper strip. Clever!
I'm sharing a gift box that I topped off with some glass roses that I made from cardstock. Well they are not really glass, but they kind of look like it!
I hope you've enjoyed these handmade embellishment ideas! As always, we enjoy seeing and sharing your creations too. If you'd like to share a project with handmade embellishments, just email it to me at scrappycath at gmail dot com. We'll feature you on a future Readers Pages post!

Message from the Show:
Our Conference Call today was very informative and up-lifting. First I would like to apologize for the interruptions and loss of connections that we had. Nevertheless, we made it and thank you all for your patience!
Zorra and One Who Knows spoke during the first hour and at the end of the show. Questions about Trusts, 800#'s, Zim, NDA, Cabal, pyramids, etc. Both Zorra and OWK concur that the exchange is happening as we speak but the announcement for "us" is very imminent. One Who Knows said that "things are really good right now".
Our lesson is: Live your day in the joy and peace knowing it is here, in the present! That collectively, we are bringing prosperity to our world through our love vibrations!
Peter Sterling spoke and answered all the questions relating to Primemybody's Nano-enchanced Hemp Oil. He informed us that research has shown that we are actually deficient of the cannabinoids.
He went on to say that we have the endocannabinoid system that plays a very important role effecting our glandular and immune system. He said that research has shown that it is the master regulatory system in our bodies that regulates all of our body systems and brings perfect balance with each other.
This unique Hemp Oil has worked wonders if not miracles for the many who have taken it! Listen to the call for more great information!

Lindsey and Steve were married on September 16th, with a ceremony at St. Mary's in East Islip and a reception at Captain Bill's Bayview House in Bayshore, NY.
This whole day was filled with smiles, laughter, and nonstop fun! The epic bridal party was a group of 30 friends and family members, and I was so glad to see these two with a wonderful supporting team—especially Lindsey's two sisters, who were there every step of the way both before and during the wedding!
While we were out taking pictures, we made a quick stop at Captree State Park, on the eastern tip of Jones Beach Island, overlooking the Fire Island Inlet. The area is spectacular and just screams "I Love Long Island," so I thought it really matched the fun-loving mood of the day.
When we arrived at the beach, Lindsey set the mood with a huge smile as she pumped her flowers in the air—and she and her sisters were hilarious all the way through the pictures! After the bridal party pictures, I worked with just Lindsey and Steve as not only their fun-loving personalities but the warm sunlight and soft breeze made these some of the dreamiest images all day! My favorite images came when we were walking off the beach and I asked Lindsey to have some fun walking with Steve. She started with bumping him with her hip, and that was the start of a whole set of amazing—and fun—images!
From there, it was off to the reception, where the entire bridal party came out at once for introductions to make a great impression. Some had orange jail jumpers, others were dressed as police, others had horse heads, and others were riding hoverboards!
While the reception was a blast with so much dancing—and Lindsey and Steve showing everyone how it's done—the most memorable moment for me was the best man's speech. Steve's best friend, Zach, met him while they were in the military serving in Iraq, and Zach delivered the best speech I have ever heard. I don't think I'll ever forget it.
Lindsey & Steve, thank you for allowing me to be part of your wedding. I had a blast! You two really do know how to party, and I wish you both nothing but happiness!
Love, John

The heroes arrive back at Aithe Keep. They meet with Brwynella Cauldyth who informs them that her father and sister rode north before dawn with a body of troops. She says that Zyla and Jessandra have been reunited and left the fortress earlier to purchase some new clothes in town.
Corthen informs the young Lady Cauldyth that he and his friends must depart for the island of Gwynneth. He asks her if she can recommend a ship to transport them there. Brwynella thinks for a moment and says that she does not know what boats lie in the harbor but several of the fishermen may consider the trip for the right price. Corthen changes the subject and asks Brwynella if the party may leave their sea chests down in the dungeons of the keep. She smiles and assures him that they will be safe until they return to claim them. The group gives her their thanks and goodbyes when she sees the heroes off.
At the docks, Corthen and Rehs look at the vessels in the harbor. The largest ship is loading crates aboard and the crew is preparing the ship for departure. Seeking permission to meet with the Captain, Corthen, Rehs, and Samira walk up the plank and onto the main deck. A richly dressed Calishite greets them. Corthen gives the Captain their names and informs him that he and his friends are seeking passage to Gwynneth.
Captain Muham gives them his name and asks how many passengers and Rehs tells him there are seven in their party. The Captain smiles with a gold tooth prominent in his mouth. Muham asks what port that they wish to dock at. Corthen tells him they are going to Dultann. Taken aback, Captain Muham tells him that Dultann has no port as it is some small village several days inland. Corthen is insistent, so the Captain names his price for ferrying the group. Corthen disagrees and gives a much lower offer. Giving the elf a shocked look, Muham informs Corthen that he might as well sell his wife and children into slavery to cover the ship's expenses with such an offer. Corthen makes another offer in which the ship captain replies, "You wound me, sir!" The two men haggle a bit longer before agreeing to a price closest to Captain Muham's asking price.
The others board the merchant vessel and are shown to the quarters below deck. The ship, 'Catahara' sets sail leaving Aithe and the island of Alaron behind.

Brazil Adventure Tours provide you with ideas for tours of Brazil and South America, with all being completely flexible with regards to dates, duration or the tours, activities and classes that we can include. Our website tours are our recommendations based on our experience of how to make the very best of your time in South America. We can adjust these details in any way that you wish, with a little advice from us of course. We can combine any of our destinations that you wish to visit into one tour, and for however long you wish to visit them. Any of our Traditional and Adventure tours can also be combined in whichever way you prefer. We are here to organise a tour that suits you after all, not the other way around!
|Day 1 : Arrive on the Costa do Cacao
Ilheus to Itacare
|After flying to the coast of Bahia, you arrive in Ilheus, once a renowned beach resort city itself, which was somewhat usurped by the prettier beaches to the north once road improvements made the journey much quicker! Driving north from the airport, you have 75km of drive up the coast-hugging road, with beaches and ocean visible through the palm trees for the first half. The Serra Grande Viewpoint gives you a wonderful look back down towards Ilheus before you wind through lush hills covered in Atlantic Rainforest in the Serra do Conduru. On arrival in Itacare, the rest of the day is free to explore the town and enjoy sunset from Praia da Concha over the Rio de Contas.
|Day 2 : Itacare Beaches & Falls Trail
|A full day tour takes you along the coast south of Itacare to visit some of the renowned beaches and hike Atlantic Rainforest trails to arrive at them. After parking on the main road, a hike of around an hour and a half has you down on the beach after passing through the lush tropical jungle. Praia da Engenhoca has the best surf, Hawaizinho is the smaller beach leads on to the stretches of paradise that are Camboinha and Itacarezinho. These beautiful Bahia beaches are long, wide and largely empty, with small beach restaurants for lunch. The final stop of the day is at the Cachoeira do Tijuipe, where you can enjoy the cool waters before returning to Itacare.
|Day 3 : Marau Peninsula Tour
|A 4x4 trip north from Itacare takes you across the Rio de Contas to the Marau Peninsula. This quiet little corner of Bahia has miles of empty beaches such as Praia dos Algodoes to enjoy, with sands curving into the distance washed by white waves. Scenic sand roads at the back of the beach take you through waving palm trees around the Lagoa do Cassange to the lighthouse, where a hill gives views all over Marau. Taipu de Fora is the most famous spot, with beautifully clear natural pools for snorkelling at low tide. Barra Grande is the northern tip, with beach bars and boat trips possible around Baia de Camamu, while Taipu de Dentro is also good for sunset over the bay.
|Day 4 : White-Water Rafting & Zipline
|The hills above Itacare have many smaller rivers running down them and into the Rio de Contas. A day of white-water rafting is one of the most adventurous ways to see a little more of the area. Tabouquinhas is 27km from town, and, after a little practice, a 3km run down the river takes you through five separate falls over two hours: Carrosel; Fumo; Funil; Corredor Polones; and Salta da Pancada. Your experienced instructors help you through the rapids and rocks, with lush rainforest scenery to enjoy between them. Ziplining and a tree park are two other activities available away from the beaches of Itacare, where you return at the end of the afternoon.
|Day 5 : Out On The Waters
|Trips out on the ocean can be taken by boat or by stand-up paddle board! If you want to explore the coastline and get a little exercise, then you can paddle as far around the headlands and visit as many of the beautiful beaches as you can manage. A boat trip around the mangrove islands of the Rio de Contas estuary is another option, with a visit to the Cachoeira do Cleandro as well, plus a seafood lunch on the shores of the river. Whale-watching is possible from June to October usually, with humpback whales observed in the ocean off the Bahia coast. A full-day speedboat trip around the tip of Marau to visit the islands of Camamu Bay is a long but highly recommended excursion.
|Day 6 : Away from Itacare!
Itacare to Ilheus & Away
|Your journey back to Ilheus can be in the afternoon, which gives you the morning to explore more beaches such as Jeribucaçu and Arruda, 8km from town, and considered by some to be the most beautiful of all. A 30min trail takes you down to the sand, with the Cachoeira da Usina a possible freshwater swim before heading back. You can return to Ilheus and fly away, or even continue north past Marua and on to Boipeba, Morro de Sao Paulo and Salvador. You could also combine Itacare with a Bahia Road Trip to visit Arraial D'Ajuda, Trancoso and the Abrolhos Islands. We can also include Itacare as part of a Brazil surf trip.

Shotguns are devastating in close range firefights. One shot is usually enough to kill an opponent
who came too close. This doesn't mean that all shotguns are created
equally. Today we will bust all the myths and we will
search for the best shotgun in player unknown's battlegrounds. I will quickly introduce each weapon and the
we will go over to the stats. The s686 is a double barrel shotgun. It is based on the Beretta 686 "Silver Pigeon",
this is a hunting gun used by clay pigeon shooters. The s1897 is a modest shotgun. It is based on the Winchester Model 1897,
a pump-action shotgun manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The s12k is kinda foul in this world, it is
based on the Saiga-12, a semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun named for the Saiga antelope. The initial hit damage of the s686 is 25,
the s1897 has the same stats and the initial hit damage of the s12k is only 22. In all the previous weapons guides, this meant
that each shot caused 25 or 22 damage, this would mean that you need 4 or 5 shots to kill
with these shotguns, but we both know that that isn't true. No, this number is valid per pellet. This means that if you miss your shot, and
one single pellet still hits the enemy, that it will cause 25 or 22 damage, depending on
the weapon. This is great if you know that there are 9
pellets per shot. 9 x 25 is 225, so in theory you could make
a double kill and take away one quarter of health from the third guy, all with one single
click on your mouse button. This is how powerful some of the shotguns
are, but there is a catch of course, and that is range. We all know that we are not going to be able
to get a headshot on a guy who is running around 500 meters away from you. It's just not going to happen with these weapons. There is one problem, there are no stats,
nobody has figured out a way to see the actual damage drop off yet, or a way to show the
spread of the pellets in this case because that is definitely going to have a big impact
on your ability to kill. What I can do, is call in the help of buddy. He volunteered to be shot at today, and what
I will try to show you is the one shot kill distance. At least you will have a reference that way,
just bear in mind that it isn't an exact science, but it is a close approximation. Worst case scenario, you are facing a guy
who is wearing the best vest in battlegrounds, do you think that you will be able to kill
him with only one shot from this range? Let's find out, so I guess not he. We were only able to cause 75 damage, and
that's not good enough. I will get closer to buddy this time and what
about this, do you think this will be enough? And yes, this is definitely close enough for
a one shot kill. Just to be clear, this was the basic s686,
without attachments, and what you saw was the maximum distance to make a kill with only
one shot against the best vest in pubg. As you know, you can attach a choke and that
will allow you to increase the distance, but more on that later. The s12k has an initial bullet speed of 350
meters per second, the s1897 does slightly better with 360 and the s686 continues this
trend with 370 meters per second. The s686 can only fire 2 shotgun shells before
you have to reload, but the other 2 weapons are able to fire 5. The reload times are a little bit special
because we can't directly compare them. The s686 needs 3 seconds for a full reload,
that means that it needs 3 full seconds to reload 2 shotgun shells.Which isn't exactly
great. The s1897 needs 4.210 seconds for a full reload,
this sounds terrible at first but it isn't, actually it's a good thing. It will make more sense when I show you the
single bullet reload time. The s1897 needs 0.635 seconds before reloading
the first shell and then it needs 0.715 seconds for every other shell. 4.21 divided by 5 shells is an average of
0.842 seconds per shell. If we compare that with an average of 1.5
seconds per shell for the s686 then you can clearly see that the s1897 reloads almost
twice as fast per shell. The s12k is an entirely different story because
it has a magazine. It takes 3 seconds for a full reload and 2.4
seconds for a tactical reload. The worst case scenario is 3 seconds, so if
we divide that by 5 then we know that it has an average single bullet reload time of 0.6
seconds, which is much better than the other 2. The rate of fire of the s686 is incredibly
fast because it has a time between shots of only 0.2 seconds. The s12k is not far behind with 0.25 seconds
and then there is the s1897 with 0.75 seconds. Surprisingly the shot spread for all of these
weapons is exactly the same. I took these weapons with me to the shooting
range when I first started playing battlegrounds and they seemed a bit too similar back then
and the stats now confirm that. Even the deviation is exactly the same. There still is a small noticeable difference
and that is due to the difference in base spread. 5.0 vs 5.5 vs 6.0. The basic body damage chart is pretty simple. One shot, one kill. It does not matter how good your enemy's body
armour is, because it doesn't matter. Except for the s12k, if your enemy is wearing
the best vest in battlegrounds then you're going to need 2 body shots to kill. The basic headshot damage chart is even better,
one headshot, one kill, even for the s12k. This was based on the fact that you hit your
enemy with every single pellet, but we both know that it's impossible to do that unless
you are standing right next to him. As soon as the distance increases, the number
of pellets on target will decrease. Your high skill level is not going to be able
to change that. I will show you how many pellets you need
for a one shot kill compared to the different vests and helmets in battlegrounds. We both know that you won't be able to count
the number of pellets when you are going on another killing spree, you have more important
things to worry about. This is to give you a general idea, a reference,
so that you have a bigger understanding of what is going on. The s686 and the s1897 have the same hit damage
rating so I will combine those stats. In order to kill a guy who didn't find any
armour you will need to hit him with 4 out of 9 pellets. Basically, you are allowed to miss more than
half of your shot. To kill a guy with a level one vest you need
6 pellets, a level 2 vest needs 7 and the best vest needs 9 pellets for a one shot kill. The s12k is slightly different of course because
the initial hit damage is only 22. That is why you will need 5 pellets vs a guy
without armour, 7 vs a level 1 vest, 8 against level 2 and you will need 2 body shots against
the best vest. As you can see the difference between the
s686 slash s1897 and the s12k is always one single pellet. The headshot damage chart shows a noticeably
smaller difference. Every shotgun only needs exactly 2 pellets
to kill and they all need one more pellet against a level 1 helmet. This number stays the same for the first 2
shotguns against a level 2 helmet but the s12k needs a fourth pellet against this helmet. So this is where the difference starts. The s12k needs 5 pellets to kill a guy wearing
the best helmet in battlegrounds and the other 2 weapons only need 4. As you can see, the difference is usually
very small, most of the time we are only talking about one single pellet, but there is a difference. The main thing to remember is that the s12k
can't one shot body shot a level 3 vest. Most of the time you will stumble on a choke,
which can improve the stats of the s686 and the s1897 but the s12k cannot benefit from
these improved stats because you just can't attach a choke to this weapon. The choke reduces the spread of the pellets. It increases the shot speed by 15.40% and
it reduces the shot spread by 18.20%. You can also attach bullet loops which increases
the reload speed by 30%. There is a lot more that you can do for the
s12k. For example you could attach a compensator,
it slightly reduces the horizontal and the vertical recoil. It offers a 10% improvement on the base spread,
another 10% improvement on the horizontal recoil, 15% on the vertical, and on top of
all that you get another 25% improvement on the recoil pattern. A flash hider on the other side eliminates
the muzzle flash and it slightly reduces horizontal and vertical recoil. It reduces the horizontal recoil by 10%, it
reduces the vertical recoil by 10% and it reduces the recoil pattern by another 10%. And for the stealthy guys, there is the suppressor,
it will give you the obvious benefit and you can take advantage of a 5% improvement on
the deviation. I like the fact that you can attach a scope
as well, it will allow you to be more precise with this weapon and you can take advantage
of a 20% improvement on the ads time if you equip a red dot or holographic sight and you
can also attach the usual magazines. I hope that this video was able to help you
and you should now be able to select the perfect shotgun for your own personal play style. The youtube likes, shares and comments are
very helpful to me. If you think that this video is worthy, then
please take a moment to like, share and maybe even post a comment on this video. If you haven't done so already, then please

58 "Drinking Good Wine" restaurants in New York.
Chef's Table At Brooklyn Fare in Hell's Kitchen serves a tasting menu that's unlike anything else you'll eat in NYC.
The Grill is the revamp of the legendary Four Seasons restaurant, run by the people behind Carbone. It's very similar, very expensive, and worth it.
Union Square Cafe is a classic New York City restaurant having its second life in a new space. The good news? It's still as good as ever.
Part natural wine bar, part restaurant, The Four Horsemen is one of our favorite places to drink and eat in Brooklyn.
LaLou is a natural wine bar in Prospect Heights where you should get drinks and dinner no matter what your feelings are towards natural wine.
At The Fly, you eat chicken and drink wine. In other words, it's pretty ideal, and you should grab some dinner at this Bed-Stuy spot.
Ruffian is a tiny East Village bar with a huge natural wine list and a short menu of really good Mediterranean food.
Legacy Records is a big restaurant in Hudson Yards from the team behind Pasquale Jones and Charlie Bird. It's pricey, but worth it.
Niche Niche is a dinner party inside a Soho townhouse, where there's a different wine list and menu every night.
The Ten Bells is a natural wine bar on the Lower East Side that serves some good small plates and $1 Happy Hour oysters every day.
So it's not often that a wine bar comes with an enthusiastic Infatuation Approval, but Terroir's new outpost in Tribeca most certainly does.
Red Hook Tavern is from the people behind Hometown Bar-B-Que, and it's a great spot to sit at the bar, drink wine, and eat an extremely good burger.

The action packed Aparthotel Golden Avenida Suites is an ideal choice for family fun, set at the top end of Salou, there are shops, restaurants and bars just a five minute stroll away. The beach is handy, too – just ten minutes from the door. And the Costa Dorada's star attraction, PortAventura theme park, is only a short bus ride away. Another great thing about the Avenida Suites is their children's facilities. We're talking a TUI Kids' Club and playgrounds with chunky slides. Children's buffets dish up all their favourite eats at mealtimes, too. The Avenida lies on loads of entertainment for adults, too. Think family focused games and activities during the day, like aqua aerobics, sports contests and skittles. And the action continues into the evenings. Most nights kick off with happy hours at the bar, before mini-discos for the little ones followed by cabaret shows and live music. Of course, most summer family holidays tend to focus on the pool. Set into terraces flanked by pine trees and rockeries, the main one here has a shallow area that wends its way under a wooden bridge before morphing into a deeper section. Nearby is a separate children's splash pool. And if you want some me-time, slip into the indoor pool or one of the hot tubs.
As for the apartments, they're well equipped with all the ingredients for a comfy family break, satellite TVs, furnished balconies and kitchenettes. There are duplex apartments available, too, each with a twin bedroom and extra bathroom. All are bright and fresh, painted in pastel colours and decked out with modern furnishings.

text: January 27, 2010 | 2 Comments The drips on her nails say "busy today" like the chips on the paintwork that she drives away. She's the porcelain princess who's tougher than stone with a soft-centred middle right down to the bone. If you cross or transgress her she'll smash you to bits this girl is a tigress with a pole-dancer's hips. She's learnt to be fearsome , she's learnt to be curt this way is far better, she's harder to hurt. She spits at the people who're full of conceit and she loathes the liars, those full of deceit. See, once you've been bitten when expecting a kiss the lesson you learn is: give love a miss. But this hardness is wrapped in the green of an angel that strides towards doors of the sick and unable where she washes the needy, unseen by our eyes and caresses the hands of the ready to die. The mad, the unwanted, the babbling few, the burdensome, the quarrelsome, the too sick to move. She bites on her lip to snip off her feelings as she doles out compassion and makes life have meaning. Then slips into darkness with the turn of her key and returns to her gremlin and slumps for TV where, lulled by the warmth and fatigue of long days she drifts off to sleep, it's better that way.

Top Rated Comments(View all)
I swear, I've never understood why people liked the Beatles so much. They weren't especially good instrumentalists, they weren't good volcalists, they didn't harmonize well, and their tunes weren't especially catchy, and their lyrics weren't especially interesting or deep. Why the hell were they so popular?
Of course, my favorite band is They Might Be Giants, so there's no accounting for taste. :) At least their songs are catchy, they have good instrumentals (even if some of them are electronic), they harmonize well, and their lyrics have meaning below the surface.
30 years too late.......
I too was frustrated by the lack of Beatles tracks on iTunes back in 1980. :rolleyes:
wow, $149 for a bunch of downloads. i'll just buy the CD set at these prices
Then you have to rip all those CDs in to iTunes...
Really, Beatles fans will already have the music. The rest of us, those of us with taste, don't care whether you sell it or not anyway.

Lavender, lace, green and greenery were key to this lovely shower for soon-to-arrive baby Penelope and her mom. The true Southern belle of a host knew she wanted a pearls and pretty sundress type event, so when she asked for help on the paper goods I was very excited to get to pitch on some little touches. I loved the party favors she conjured up – every guest went home with a potted plant wrapped in an eyelet cotton. And how cute are the diaper-fold napkins! Such a clever hostess!
Here's what she started with…food tents, water bottle labels, favor tags, baby wishes notecards, and photobooth props. And how she turned it into a lovely shower (thanks for sending pictures!)

Three years ago I took an introductory class at New York City's calligraphy guild, the Society of Scribes, where I learned to write the alphabet with a pen that has to be dipped into a bottle of ink. Because of the precise and skillful hand movements needed to use this pen, calligraphy is an excellent practice for developing mindfulness. Dipping the pen into ink after every few words is akin to repeatedly stopping for a mindfulness bell.
The word "calligraphy" consists of the Greek words kalli, meaning "beautiful," and graphein, meaning "to write." Calligraphy is writing that has been practiced to a high degree of skillfulness and created with great mindfulness, so that the result is a beautiful work of art. In contrast, one's everyday handwriting is written quickly, out of habit, and is not meant to be art. Much painstaking practice was needed before my writing even began to look beautiful.
I became a member of the Society of Scribes, one of many calligraphy guilds worldwide, which has classes and events where I could improve my skills and meet other calligraphers. Volunteering at the annual year-end members' exhibition motivates me to create work to exhibit. For the 2011 and 2012 exhibitions, I copied in calligraphy two of Thay's gathas and the saying: "Don't just do something, SIT THERE." As I searched for texts that would have a calming effect on viewers, I inadvertently discovered that calligraphy can be a Dharma door.
Between exhibitions, I used calligraphy to make greeting cards and address envelopes. I made Thanksgiving cards for a local nonprofi to distribute to homebound seniors with their holiday dinners and addressed invitations for another nonprofit's fundraising event. Thus, I found that calligraphy could be a means for doing social service.
Throughout the history of Buddhism, monastics and laypersons in various traditions have copied sutras as a mindfulness practice. A recent exhibition of sutras, mainly the Heart Sutra, copied in calligraphy and illustrated by contemporary Korean monastics and laypersons, inspires me to try this when my concentration is deeper.
Ultimately, the styles, techniques, and materials of calligraphy, which vary depending on time and place, matter far less than one's mindfulness while practicing. In this digital age, while typing on keyboards and screens allows us to write at technology's speed, practicing calligraphy provides the slowness needed to experience the miracle of mindfulness. Typing can be compared to putting the dishes in the dishwasher to get clean dishes. Calligraphy is like washing the dishes to wash the dishes.
Maureen Chen is a co-facilitator at Morning Star Sangha in Queens, New York. As a consequence of pursuing calligraphy, she learned of Thay through Seattle calligrapher Gina Jonas, who quoted from The Miracle of Mindfulness in her article, "Calligraphy as a Spiritual Way." The occasion of Thay's calligraphy exhibition in New York City from September 7 to December 31 inspired Maureen to write this article.
