Mumbai to Delhi Road Trip: Countless memories with my Chevy
I am writing my first travelogue on Team-BHP, it is for my first car, Chevrolet Spark, which I bought five years back, and is now with my sister in Gurgaon. I recently made a trip from Mumbai to Delhi in my 5 year old Spark with a friend. It all started a month ago when my sister who is in Gurgaon wanted to buy new small car for herself for daily running as a second car. My brother in-law has VW Polo 1.6 which serves as their primary car. At the same time, I too had plans of upgrading to some powerful hatchback.
One day my dad called me up and said why don't you give the Spark to your sister and buy yourself a new car. I was immediately convinced as this paved a way to keep the car in my family. Then he told me that I may need to send it in the weeks time. Well, I was not prepared for that!
Everyone in the family was inclined towards sending the car to Delhi through movers and packers except me. I couldnt let go of my Chevy like that, it needed a good farewell ride. Also, I was more comfortable with driving it down to Gurgaon as recently I had a very long road trip to Coorg, which increased mine and everyones confidence in the car as well as perked me up for a new journey.
Now another long pending thought was an all guys trip. I am glad that my wife happily agreed about this idea. I instantly messaged a good friend and he was kind enough to come along. We started discussing our itinerary and were super excited. Once the plan was confirmed, I gave the car for scheduled servicing, and got the balancing and alignment done. Bought some snacks and coke, kept the torch and Michelin tyre inflator in the boot, filled the petrol tank from the near by bunk and we were all set for the trip.
The intial plan was to leave early in the morning and reach Udaipur in the evening, stay there and next day drive straight to Gurgaon. However, due to excitement we were not able to sleep and decided to start the journey in the night itself.
After reading all the threads related to the Mumbai-Delhi route we decided to take the below route.
Thane Surat Vadodara Halol Godhra -Udaipur Ajmer Jaipur Gurgaon.
As we did not have any leaves and had our return ticket booked for Monday morning we had to reach Gurgaon in two days time.
Day 1
We started from Mumbai on 23rd September at 11:00 PM in the night and reached Varodara at 3:00 AM in the morning. It was raining quite heavy on that day.That did not dampen our spirits but added even more to the excitement.
Drizzling on Mumbai Surat Highway
There is a McDonald's in Surat which opens 24X7. This is where we took a short break. I was a bit worried about the infamous Golden Bridge which connects Ankleshwar and Bharuch. I quickly checked the google maps and it suggested no traffic on the bridge which later came out to be true .We crossed the bridge in a few seconds.
Starting from Surat at around 3:40 AM in the morning we were on Varodara Halol road exactly at 6:00 AM. The roads in Gujarat are excellent and most of the state highways in Gujarat dont even charge toll for cars.
Some of the roads in Gujarat
After non- stop driving ,reached Rajasthan at 9:30 AM, took some pictures at the Rajasthan milestone and started again for Udaipur. The plan was to reach Udaipur and spend some time there and may be to have a night stay there.
One milestone achieved
The roads in Rajasthan were good but not as good as the ones in Gujarat. Also, youll find loads of toll booths in Rajasthan.
We reached Udaipur at 10:45 AM in the morning, and were feeling sleepy as well as needed some break after the non-stop driving. We stopped at a road side dhaba just at the starting of Udaipur where we had some tea and refreshments.
As per the plan we went straight to the famous Udaipur Lake and Palace.Now we did some boating and snacked on samosas and tea again there.The boat ride was a unique experience as we were able to have a glimpse of the grand palaces from the lake side.The weather was not very hot and it was overall an enjoyable spree.
Udaipur Lake and Palaces
We were free by 2 PM after all the sightseeing. We then decided to stay somewhere in Udaipur itself. Just before the search for an accommodation, I realized that the AC was not cooling at all . We went to a nearby AC shop whose staff was quite polite, they were very amazed that we came to Udaipur all the way from Mumbai in a Spark. While discussing our journey he told us that the road from Udaipur to Jaipur is fantastic and it takes only 4 hours to reach Jaipur from there. We suddenly decided why not reach Jaipur so that we can stay there and will also get a chance to have dinner at Chokhi Dhani. We immediately started for Jaipur.
The drive from Udaipur to Jaipur was really smooth but till the time we reached Jaipur there were traffic jams at the entrance. We had booked a hotel in Jaipur online on our way and reached there at around 8:00 PM. I was very tired and driving to Chokhi Dhani from the hotel at that time looked like a huge task.We took a quick one hour power nap and were all set for our next pit-stop, Chokhi Dhani. Reached there at 10:30 PM and had a delicious dinner. That place is amazing and gave us a chance to feast on the authentic Rajasthani delicacies in a regal style. They presented us colorful turbans to wear and presented the food in a royal elaborate thali style. Soothing local music added to the overall warm feel.We came back to the hotel at 12:15 AM and dozed off like anything.
Chokhi Dhani Jaipur
Day 2
We woke up late ,around 11 AM, checked out the hotel and decided to visit the Amer fort before leaving for Gurgaon. Google maps routed us to the fort through some winding roads of Jaipur where we lost quite a good amount of time. We reached Amer Fort at around 1:15 PM in the noon and were told by one gentleman there that the fort would be open only after 2 PM. We already had lost a good amount of time so decided to move on to Gurgaon. Nevertheless, I insisted to take some snaps with the majestic fort that stands tall representing the land of Rajputana.
Amer Fort Jaipur
Post that it was a smooth straight drive. We reached Gurgaon at 5:30 PM.
Jaipur Delhi Highway. Changing Lane
I went straight to 3M Gurgaon to give it a quick wash before handing it over to my sister. It deserved all the pampering after 2 days of non stop driving without giving a single issue.
Finally the enjoyable journey was over and it was time to say good bye! I handed over the keys to my sister and she was really excited about her new ride .

Gisele Bundchen Plastic Surgery lately becomes hot topic of discussion in several forums. She reportedly got some surgery procedures done since she looked a little bit different than she used to.
The rumor of Gisele Bundchen Plastic Surgery began spreading when some people saw her in the Bahamas with amazing figure in a bikini. People who saw the difference in her appearance started to guess that the rumors that she went to a Paris clinic were true. Yeah, she had previously been reported to go to the clinic for breast implants. However, is true that the change in her appearance is as a result of boob job? Let's see the following reviews!
The 35-year-old Brazilian fashion model Gisele Bundchen is claimed as one of the most beautiful women in the world. However, her perfect look seems to be tarnished by a rumor of plastic surgery. Some celebrity watchers believe that the wife of Tom Brady has been under knife for boob job (breast implants or breast augmentation). Their allegations are based on Gisele Bundchen boobs size which now appears bigger and fuller than she used to.
Since the rumors of Gisele Burden plastic surgery spread and become the talk of many people, many people are now beginning to compare the before and after photos. Shocked, they see that the size of her breasts does look much bigger than it used to.
According to International Business Time, she at least has spent $11,000 for breast implants and eyelid surgery. Gisele Bundchen breast implants was speculated to be done sooner after she resigned from the runway.
Ends in 15d 4h
What is the response of Bundchen regarding the speculation plastic surgery addressed to her? Did she admit or even deny like many Hollywood celebrities did?
The former star of Taxi film has not given any statement to the rumors about her boobs. On the contrary, she is busy to promote her latest book which tells about her 20-year career in the fashion industry.
Breast augmentation surgery (boob job or breast implants) itself is not something new for Hollywood celebrities. Many of them are also reported to have a succesful boob job. Who are they? see our previous post "Celebrities with Breast Implants".
In short, the truth of Gisele Bundchen Plastic Surgery, boob job, may still be debatable among the fans and celebrity watchers. But, judging from before and after pictures, Gisele boobs indeed look much different. Personally, I believe that it is as the result of breast implants or breast augmentation surgery.
What do you think of Gisele Bundchen Boobs? Did she likely have breast implants? Feel free to share it if you find something interesting in it! Do not ever be shy to give your comments here!

M.e. Miller, also known as Michael Ellis, was professionally published before he graduated from high school. His dialect poems, "Black shoes" and "What Ya Stealin for?" were enough to impress the University of Puget Sound, where he majored in English and minored in Journalism. Six years later Ellis went from the page to the stage, performing in more than a hundred readings. He became an orator and a dramatist, teaching himself to perform in more than twenty unique voices. He used his ability more often to help people who were victims of abuse and injustice. On stage he tells stories by combining prose and poetry, naming his style "Prosetry".
He is currently a teacher of writing at Sacramento State Prison and had taught at several public schools. He is the founder of KEYNOTE POETS which reaches thousands of people locally and around the world and the founder of a popular poetry venue here in Sacramento.
Compared often to renaissance poet Langston Hughes, Ellis worked for years to expand his skill set. He wanted to be more than a dialect poet. The pressure of historical comparison began to take a devastating toll. In 1996 Pulitzer prize winning poet, Gwendolyn Brooks, wrote him the first of four times. She told him to calm down and that it would all make sense in time.
In 2006, he was invited on scholarship to Howard University for the first chapter of a novel, Dear Oprah. He performed at the Hurston- Wright annual convention. Months later he was also honored with a prize at Sacramento State University for that same novel. He was also awarded a second prize for his children's short story, "The Legend of Sleepy." In 2012 M.e. Miller returned to the poetry scene after many years away. His book, Goodbye Langston was published in 2013 and he followed with They Wouldn't Let Me Be White in 2015.

Sorry that I haven't written/uploaded anything in ages. I'm just not as much into writing as I once was. ^^; This is actually based on a true story or me playing cards with my sister... Slight LietPol and mentions of Switzerland/Liechtenstien.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia.
"Hey, hey. I wanna play cards!" Feliks announced one day, barging through the door at his best friend, Toris's house, "Let's, like, totally play cards."
"Um, okay..." Toris replied, "What do you want to play?" He then walked over to one of the kitchen drawers, and opened it to get a deck of cards.
"Let's play War. That's, like, the funnest card game ever, Liet!" Feliks chirped excitedly.
"Sure." Toris replied, and started shuffling the cards, then dealing the deck between the two. "You remember how to play, right?"
"Of course I do." Feliks rolled his eyes, then announced, "I'll go first!"
"We turn over the cards at the same time." Liet sighed. 'I knew that he couldn't remember how to play.' he thought.
"Ohhh...Right." Feliks said, looking down, but then he perked up as they began to play.
The game ran smoothly after that, that is, until Feliks had put down a two of hearts, and Toris had a queen of spades.
"No, you can't take my two, Liet. You can, like, have all the rest, just not my two. It's, like, the bestest card ever, and it's mine!" Feliks shouted.
"But Feliks...Queen beats two, so I have to. It's the rules..." Toris tried to explain.
"Fine, but, like, no more taking my twos. Got it, Liet?" Feliks shook his pointer finger at his friend.
"Alright." Toris said then put his card down for the next round. This was going to be a long game...
"What are you doing?" Toris asked as he saw his friend, after winning a 'war' in the game, placing two of the cards-twos, of course- in a separate pile from the rest of his discarded cards.
"I'm, like, making sure you don't take my twos. It's totally going to work." Feliks explained, after making his piles all neat.
"You-nevermind. Just do it your way." Toris sighed, after almost trying to let Feliks know that he was breaking the rules. It's not like he would listen anyway...
So Feliks's act of collecting the twos went on until he had acquired them all, at which time he promptly shouted that he had done such. The game really became a mess when Feliks decided that it'd be more fun to throw the cards instead of placing them face-up on the table like a normal person.
"Feliks...Please stop doing that." Toris said, after getting hit by a card or two.
"Why? It's totally more fun doing it this way." Feliks threw another card for that turn, and it missed the table and hit the ground. "Pick it up."
"What?" Toris asked, staring blankly.
"Pick up the card. It's, like, by you, but on the floor." Feliks rolled his eyes.
"If you'd stop throwing the cards, they wouldn't land on the floor." Toris said, leaning over to pick up the card.
Feliks continued on his card-throwing rampage, also known as the game of 'War.' Cards were flying everywhere, and Toris was picking them all up on his friend's orders. One flew closer to Feliks, though, and Toris decided he wasn't going to take it.
"Pick it up." Toris stated.
"Why? You're, like, the card picker-upper." his friend said, a bit surprised.
"It's closer to you, and you threw it, so pick it up."
"No, you get it."
"Pick up the card."
"Never!" Feliks shouted, then picked two forks up off the table that Toris had set out for dinner. One was shorter than the other, but it did not matter to Feliks. He pointed them at Toris, "You pick it up!"
Toris grabbed the other two. Again, one was shorter than the other. "No!"
Then the two started dueling with the forks, not actually hurting each other, but certainly threating each other. That continued until Feliks noticed something. "Hey look, it looks like that guy, Vash, who, like, likes shooting at people and his totally cute sister!" He then proceeded to make suggestive movements between the forks.
Toris did a complete facepalm. "What are you doing now?"
"See, they're, like, making out and stuff." Feliks explained, continuing to play with the forks.
"...Huh?" Toris asked, completely bewildered by his friend's awkwardness.
"Do I need to, like, explain in detail, Liet? That's, like, their heads," he pointed to the pointed end of the fork, "and they're, like, kissing, see?" Feliks motioned once more, and made kissing sounds.
Toris then leaned over and picked up that long-forgotten card, and told Feliks to continue the game, and such they did.
"Hey Feliks, isn't that your pile of twos?" Toris asked when he noticed his friend place a nine over his sacred pile of twos.
"Oh my god! You're, like, totally right!" Feliks exclaimed, "My twos are now contaminated!" He quickly removed the nine and placed it in its rightful spot, Feliks's every-card-except-twos discard pile.
The rest of the game went along uneventfully. Well, aside from the throwing of cards, and Feliks's twos becoming 'contaminated' every once in a while. Then when they reached the very end, Toris said that Feliks had lost, but then Feliks reminded Toris that he had his stash of twos, but we all know how that ended.
Extra Author Note: After uploading this, I realised that I had forgotten to save some changes that I made to the file, so I'm sorry about that mistake. This is the correct one, and I hope to not ever do that again. ^^;

Your home is the biggest purchase you will ever make.
And if you live in one home long enough, you will put a great deal of money in your home.
Some of that money you can get access to.
It's called equity.
You accumulate equity by paying your mortgage.
The portion that doesn't go to the bank as interest goes towards your ownership in your house.
After 5 years on a 30-year mortgage, you paid off 10% of your home loan.
On a $200,000 loan, that's $20,000.
That's a lot of money.
So how do you access that money?
Here are some ways to put that money in your pocket.
In this scenario, a new lender loans you money on the current value of your home and replaces your original lender.
To put money in your pocket, the term of your new loan will have to be the same length of time.
So if you had a 30-year mortgage, you will have to refinance with a 30-year mortgage.
This approach makes a lot of sense if current interest rates are lower than your interest rate.
If you lower your interest rate from 6% to 4%, you will save a bunch of money.
I would work with a mortgage broker to refinance your home.
They can find you the best rates.
Home Equity Loan
A home equity loan is a type of second mortgage.
The lender gives you a fixed amount from your home and you start paying this back day 1.
The length of term varies but 15 years is common.
Be aware though, the lender typically charges a higher interest rate than your mortgage.
This option works well for specific projects in your home.
If you have plans to renovate your kitchen, this may be the right fit for you.
Credit unions do a great job with these loans.
Delta Community Credit Union is really competitive with their home equity loans.
I don't get any money for plugging them it's just a suggestion to help you out.
I used them and they are great.
Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
A home equity loan and a home equity line of credit are similar.
But the home equity line of credit has two phases.
You can borrow or repay as much money as you want during the first phase.
It's called the draw phase and it acts like a credit card.
You only pay interest during the draw phase.
After the draw phase (typically 5 years), the amount you borrowed locks in and you have to start paying it back.
This is the second phase and it's like the home equity loan discussed above.
You can't draw any more money and have a time table to pay it back.
If you have several home projects to complete, the home equity line of credit is a great option.
Here again credit unions do a great job with these loans.
Delta Community Credit Union is really competitive with their home equity lines of credit.
I've personally used them for this one.
Accessing the equity in your home is a great ability to have.
The options listed above can work for you.
Fair warning: if you don't pay any of these loans like you agreed, the lender will take your home.
So consider your options carefully before borrowing against your home.
Can you think of any other ways to access the money in your home?

We only spent a short time in Laos, and it was indeed at the very touristy spots. That being said, just because a town has a few amenities doesn't necessarily make it less enjoyable to visit. We liked having a choice of restaurants and lots of things to do. Maybe it's not 'in' to be seen at places that cater to tourism, but there are times when a place actually *deserves* its fame. Looks like the opposite can happen too!

Angola's President's death rumor is the latest in a number of death rumors concerning prominent African personalities that have become commonplace in recent times.
President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, 74, has been away from his country for nearly three weeks. State media confirmed that he traveled on May 2 and Isabel dos Santos, his influential daughter, has had to step up to the bat this week to deny rumors that the President has died in Spain.

Isabel dos Santos took to her Instagram account to complain;
"Someone has gone so low as to invent information about the death of a man in order to create confusion and turmoil in Angolan politics,"
Angola's opposition called on Wednesday for an official clarification of the health of the President. Rafael Savimbi, a senior figure in UNITA, the main opposition party, told AFP;
"We are all concerned about the lack of official information on the health of the president,"
A political analyst that is close to the opposition, Agostinho dos Santos, said "serious and clear explanations" were needed after reports of the president's health troubles and rumors of his death surfaced.
What started up Angola's President's death rumor
Maka Angola, an opposition news website said that the president was "between life and death in a private clinic in Barcelona." The reports were believable considering the fact that late last year, the ruling MPLA was forced to issue a statement denying reports that he was ill and criticizing social media messages.
See Also: Mugabe's Health: Is Zim In For Another Wave Of Death Rumors?
There is also the fact that despite controlling the country with a firm hand, the president has been rarely seen in public and has reportedly received cancer treatment in Barcelona over several years. Bento Kangamba dos Santos, a senior member of the MPLA, told local media;
"We must remain calm and not disseminate irresponsible information,"
Luckily, President Dos Santos is not planning on ruling for much longer. He has already chosen, Joao Lourenco, the current defense minister as his successor in elections that are coming up in August.

The Great Migration
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: John McEntee, who emigrated from Ireland in 1737; Bryan McEntee and his family, who arrived in Baltimore in 1827; Mich McEntee, who sailed to St. John, New Brunswick in 1834.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Deo patria amicis
Motto Translation: A friend to God and my country.

Making your team thrive in a Zombie infested combat environment takes a gargantuan effort on all fronts. Logistics, finance, nutrition, medicine, engineering, and even agriculture, just to name a few. However, a team that is not successful in actual combat will inevitably be overrun.
Combat marksmanship is the fundamental basis of a team's combat capability. The more quickly, and the further a team can shoot, the greater the distance they are able to maintain with any Zombie formation. Plans and procedures are necessary, but are worthless if the team is not skilled enough to execute them correctly.
Drills 1 and 2 have something in common: they train your team to be able to transition from moving to aiming and shooting accurately very quickly. They also deal with the changing distances of the Zombie threat.
Distances for both drills can be adjusted accordingly, but for the sake of readability, we will be dealing with a 100 meter (109 yard) range. It also needs to be done outdoors as no indoor range (unless privately owned by you) would allow you to conduct the drill.
Prepare the range by marking off firing lines. The closest line to the target is at 20 meters (22 yards). The second closest is at 50 meters (55 yards). The third is at 100 meters (109 yards). If your range exceeds 100 meters, draw a line every 50 meters beyond the 100 meter mark.
All range safety procedures and practices must be exercised during training. Your safety is your responsibility. Since we are not at your range, we cannot be responsible for any accidents that may happen.
You need at least three different kinds of personnel to conduct this training. You need:
– A shooter
– A range safety officer
– An instructor
Everyone who occupies these respective positions must be qualified to conduct the tasks involved. Shooters must know and exercise firearm safety, as well as basic marksmanship skills. Range safety officers and instructors must know how to operate a range safely. If these conditions are not met, the team is not suited to conduct these drills.
Once the drill begins, it will be difficult if not impossible for the shooter(s) to hear any vocal commands. Therefore whistles must be used. Whistle commands must be consistent and known to all parties involved even before range setup.
For example, one whistle to signal shooters to move to the next range line and three blasts of the whistle to signal cease fire and put weapons on safety with magazines out, chamber clear, and hammer down.
All personnel on range must have a whistle.
This drill simulates a Zombie formation getting closer and closer to the team. Also, the movements involved will make shooters more accustomed to shooting while out of breath, especially if the drill is run several times or over a greater distance than 100 meters. This drill does not simulate a team moving in close to a formation of Zombies. A team must try to maintain at least a 100 meter distance between itself and the Zombie formation. Any closer than 50 meters and the team is in danger of being overrun.
1) Shooters line up on the 100 meter firing line in the prone position. Weapons on safe, magazines out, chamber clear, and hammer down.
2) Range safety officer checks for any immediate problems. If everything checks out clear, indicates a thumbs up to the instructor.
3) Instructor gives verbal commands to load, charge, and put weapons off safe.
4) Instructor blows whistle and the drill begins. Shooters fire at the targets 100 meters away in the prone position. After 5 seconds the instructor blows the whistle and the shooters quickly move to the 50 meter firing line.
5) The clock still runs while the shooters are running to the 50 meter firing line. At the 50 meter firing line, shooters will fire from the standing position. They will have 15 seconds to go from the 100 meter firing line to the 50 meter firing line before the instructor blows the whistle for the team to move to the 20 meter firing line.
6) Shooters will have 10 seconds to move from the 50 meter firing line to the 20 meter firing line and fire on their target. Shooters will engage in the standing position at the 20 meter firing line.
7) After ten seconds have elapsed, the instructor will blow the whistle three times to have shooters cease fire, put the weapon on safe, release the magazine and empty the chamber.
8) Each shooter will remain at their position until inspected and relieved by the range safety officer.
SIDEARM VARIATION: If also practicing with sidearms, it is possible to transition from rifle to sidearm at the 20 meter firing line.
If shooting beyond 100 meters, ensure 15 seconds between each firing line beyond 100 meters.
It is basically the Zombie Combat Marksmanship Drill 1 but in reverse. This drill simulates a Zombie formation being pushed back by the volume of fire unleashed by the team and/or the team firing and making distance between the team and the Zombie formation. Keep in mind that this is a Zombie combat marksmanship drill and not a Zombie combat tactics drill.
1) Shooters line up on the 20 meter firing line in the standing position. Weapons on safe, magazines out, chamber clear, and hammer down.
2) Range safety officer checks for any immediate problems. If everything checks out clear, indicates a thumbs up to the instructor.
3) Instructor gives verbal commands to load, charge, and put weapons off safe.
4) Instructor blows the whistle and the drill begins. Shooters have 5 seconds to put rounds on target before the instructor blows the whistle indicating they need to move back to the 50 meter firing line.
5) Shooters have 15 seconds to move from the 20 meter firing line to the 50 meter firing line and engage targets in the standing position. After the 15 seconds have elapsed, the instructor blows the whistle.
6) Shooters have 20 seconds to go from the 50 meter firing line to the 100 meter firing line and engage targets while in the prone position.
7) After 20 seconds have elapsed, the instructor will blow the whistle three times to indicate cease fire and for shooters to put weapons on safe, release magazines, and empty the chamber.
8) All shooters hold position until inspected by a range safety officer and properly relieved.
SIDEARM VARIATION: Shooters fire with sidearms at the 20 meter firing line before transitioning to rifles when moving to the 50 meter firing line.
For distances greater than 100 meters, allow each shooter 20 seconds to go from one firing line to the other.
Unforeseen circumstances can arise that will require the drill to be suspended prematurely. These include, but are not limited to:
– A shooter lagging behind the rest of his or her group dangerously. Drill must be suspended immediately. This may be caused by any number of variables such as slipping, falling, or the shooter not having the fitness or skill to keep up with the others.
– A malfunctioning weapon. In the event where a firearm will not stop firing or is firing unreliably, suspend the drill immediately. The distraction alone is enough to make the drill unsafe.
– If any person or animal wanders into the range, end the drill immediately.
In short, if something out of the ordinary occurs, err on the safe side. It is much better to be safe than sorry. You can always reset and restart a drill. You cannot reset and restart a dead person.
Anyone on the range has the authority to end a drill for any reason.
Always remember to run through the drill without the actual weapons first, and then run through the drill without ammunition next before attempting any drill of any kind.
Before shooters are able to conduct the drill as a group, have the shooters run the drill individually (with the instructor and the range safety officer). When shooters are comfortable with the drill, group the shooters according to fitness and skill level. If individuals cannot be grouped because their fitness and skill level are too different, then one of two things can happen. If it is because their skill and fitness is way higher, they must slow down to stay with the group. If it is because their skill and fitness level is too low, then that individual must run the drill alone and must improve his/her fitness and skill.


text: Sacral Nerve Stimulation at Subsensory Threshold Does Not Compromise Treatment Efficacy: Results From a Randomized, Blinded Crossover StudyDuelund-Jakobsen, Jakob MD; Buntzen, Steen MD, DMSc; Lundby, Lilli MD, PhD; Laurberg, Søren MD, DMScAnnals of Surgery: February 2013 - Volume 257 - Issue 2 - p 219–223 doi: 10.1097/SLA.0b013e318269d493 Randomized Controlled Trials Abstract In Brief Author Information Background and Objective: Stimulation amplitude used in sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) is at or just above the sensory threshold (ST). This randomized, blinded crossover study aimed to document if stimulation at 75% or 50% of the ST would be as effective as stimulation at the ST for fecal incontinence (FI). Method: FI patients treated with SNS, who were satisfied with current treatment results and had a minimum symptom reduction of 75%, were eligible. Patients were randomized into 3 periods of 4-week stimulation: ST, 75% of the ST, and 50% of the ST. Patients completed a bowel habit diary and questionnaires on bowel functions and patient satisfaction at the study baseline and in each study period. Results: Nineteen patients (18 females) with a mean follow-up of 51.7 ± 29.9 months were included from January to April 2010. The mean FI episodes per 3 weeks decreased from pre-SNS therapy 33.6 ± 31.6 to 1.1 ± 2.2 at the study baseline (P < 0.001). Decreasing the stimulation amplitude to as low as 50% of the ST did not affect the overall number of incontinent episodes (P = 0.078). The Wexner incontinence score dropped from 16.5 ± 2.5 for pre-SNS therapy to 7.4 ± 3.1 at the study baseline (P < 0.001). Decreasing the stimulation amplitude to ST, 75% of the ST or 50% of the ST, did not change the Wexner score when compared with the study baseline (P = 0.581). In general, patient satisfaction was high at the study baseline and did not deteriorate as the stimulation amplitude was decreased to 50% of the ST (P = 0.932). Conclusions: Subsensory stimulation as low as 50% of the ST is as effective as stimulation at or above the ST. The study was approved by the Regional Committee on Biomedical Research Ethics, Denmark, and registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01130870). This randomized, blinded crossover study documented that the treatment efficacy of sacral nerve stimulation for fecal incontinence at a subsensory stimulation amplitude as low as 50% of the sensory threshold, is as effective as stimulation at or above the sensory threshold.

John Reuben is back with a new album Featured
- font size decrease font size increase font size
We haven't really heard much from John Rueben since 2009. I mean sure, there was the new version of "Love Addict" he did for the Gotee Records 20th Anniversary album, and he's featured on the MercyMe album... but I'm so stoked to tell you he's back with a new album this week!
Reubonic is out on Friday, and there's already a few songs out, as well as a 14 minute short film setting up the whole album. The film stars Reggie Watts (who is James Corden's Late Late Show band leader) and is well worth checking out!

Enacting a power of attorney, in any form, is planning for the worst just in case it does actually happen.
But what exactly is power of attorney?
Power of attorney is a legal agreement between two parties that grants one or more persons the power to act on your behalf. The two parties include a principle – the person granting power of attorney – and an attorney in fact – the attorney in fact does not need to be lawyer.
There are many forms of power of attorney that cover a wide range of scenarios, and it basically means that you are giving someone else the authority to act on your behalf. This can be applied to many financial or medical situations. Typically, young, healthy people don't need this, especially if they are single. Most often, powers of attorney are given to spouses or children of older or sick parents.
We all need someone we can trust. When it comes to power of attorney, you need someone who is able to carry out your personal affairs while you are incapacitated, or perhaps make sure everything you want to be carried out after your death is done so properly. There are numerous types of power of attorney that apply to many different situations.
Types of Power of Attorney
The general concept is usually put in play if you are not incapacitated – that is, you are still either mentally and/or physically capable of functioning – but need help signing documents, paying bills or any other financial transactions. This agreement usually becomes void upon your death, unless it is rescinded before then.
Durable Power of Attorney
This comes into play in case you become incapacitated, but the paperwork must be complete before anything of the sort occurs. Let's say you slip into a coma; you'll need someone to see that your financial affairs remain in order and who can make medical decisions if necessary. This is important, because a normal power of attorney agreement becomes null if the person who made it becomes incapacitated. If you don't have this, the court may appoint a conservator or guardian whom you may not want executing these duties. One important thing to note if you become durable power of attorney for someone: you are not responsible for their debts, but you do have the ability to act on their behalf.
Springing Power of Attorney
Sometimes called "conditional power of attorney", springing power of attorney is usually an alternative to durable POA and gains it's namesake because it "springs" into effect when you are incapacitated, rather than the moment the documents are signed. It will often give specific definitions for "incapacitated," and won't take effect until you actually are so. This actually can lead to several problems including delays and HIPAA or privacy violations. If your agent has to wait for a doctor to deem you incapacitated AND deal with the bureaucracy of making sure that they are legally allowed to release your medical information, it could lead to days or even weeks with your finances unmanaged.
Medical Power of Attorney
This is sometimes known as a "living will," and it gives one person or agent the ability to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are in any way unable to do so yourself. This is not uncommon, and something to remember is that if you are injured or sick, but are still coherent and able to give direction to doctors, this document does not give the POA acting authority in that situation. You can give certain instructions for specific events, to which the doctors and your acting POA can follow.
Limited Power of Attorney
In this agreement, the principal will give very specific instructions as to the matters he wants carried out. Usually, this is implemented for financial reasons, covers a certain timeframe and only covers a single transaction. For example, if you are out of town, you could give authority to the POA to sign any documents necessary.
If you are in need of a power of attorney agreement, you clearly have plenty of options, and it's important to check your state's laws before setting one up. But how much paperwork is involved for you and your agent?
How Do I Get a Power of Attorney?
There are online resources from which you can print off power of attorney forms, but it is always a good idea to have a lawyer supervise and look over all of the documents to make sure there aren't any mistakes. Be sure to peruse your state laws, as there can be slightly different regulations regarding the necessity of witnesses, whether or not you need to actually know them, and the type of power of attorney needed in a given situation.
Can People Abuse the Power of Attorney?
Yes. You may have read of this happening to someone in the news, especially high profile celebrities worth a lot of money. And it usually involves the family member of an old relative trying to profit off of their estate. How does this happen though? Aren't power of attorneys only granted to people whom they trust? Well, yes. But the most commonly documented cases of power of attorney abuse comes when someone convinces or deceives someone who may be elderly and not be functioning at 100 percent mentally to sign off on these privileges. Approximately 44 percent of these cases are financial, and 70 percent of them are committed by a family member.
When this happens, a lawsuit to recover any stolen money or property will usually be a long and drawn out process. Considering the amount of paperwork to be filed and looked over alone, it is tough to prove beyond a doubt that someone abused their privileges as power of attorney. The first step would be to prove that they violated their "fiduciary duties." This states that the acting agent must put the principal's needs before his own. So if the agent closes the principal's bank accounts and sells their home while keeping all of the money for themselves, it can be determined that the agent violated their fiduciary duty.
So how can this be prevented? And perhaps more importantly, is it possible to rid the POA in this situation of their powers so that money can be recouped and any punitive damages can be properly compensated?
Can I Revoke Power of Attorney?
The good thing is, especially in regards to the aforementioned situation, is that power of attorney privileges can be revoked or discontinued. Usually, all that needs to happen is for the principal to make a written statement or fill out and mail a form stating that they want power of attorney to be revoked. You don't even have to give a reason why you are revoking it. But what if the principal cannot factually state that they are of "sound mind and body?"
If the agreement is a durable power of attorney, this can be a bit complicated, as only the principal is allowed to revoke this, because a durable POA is designed to remain in effect after the principal becomes incapacitated or dies. So, if the agent is abusing their privileges as the durable POA it can also be revoked by a court if it finds that the principal was a victim of financial fraud.
It may be easier said than done, but there are a few things you can do to avoid becoming a victim of POA abuse. The main thing being that you should only give POA to someone whom you completely trust to act in your best interests. As evidenced by the documented cases of abuse, it is also important that this be done while you are still of sound mind and body.

Sometimes we need easy….elegant AND yummy but EASY and this appetizer of endive, prosciutto, and parmigiano-reggiano cheese drizzled with a delicious truffle oil is just that……especially the deliciousness part!
When I think of warm summer nights and long casual evenings on the patio with family and friends, lots of appetizers always come to mind. They go with the flow of the evening and allow everyone to graze and enjoy while sipping a beautiful glass of wine and drinking in the moment.
We do a lot of entertaining during this time of year and so with the appetizer theme comes the need for having easy and universal dishes so I can join my guests in savoring the magic of the evening.
This appetizer was inspired from a Tuscan Farmhouse we stayed at back in 2012. The owner/chef was treating us to a special tasting of her favorite Tuscan vintage and brought out truffle-oil rubbed crostini, fresh cut prosciutto and local pecorino cheese. Somehow that moment brought together the perfect pairing of a bite of food and a taste of wine. Since that moment, I felt the need to recreate it…..both literally and in my dreams, I hope you enjoy.
- 3 Heads of Endive, Spears Only
- 12 Slices of Prosciutto, Halved
- Parmigiano-Reggiano, Shaved
- Good Quality Truffle Oil
- Cracked Black Pepper
- On a platter, arrange endive spears, arrange prosciutto over spears and add desired amount of shaved parmigiano-reggiano. Drizzle a nice amount of truffle oil and a little cracked black pepper.
- Serve immediately with a delicious wine!

Cobbs Wood Industrial Estate
Cobbs Wood Industrial Estate
Ashford Borough Council has granted Gallagher Properties Ltd planning permission to develop a new industrial estate on the former Rimmel factory site at Cobbs Wood Industrial Estate in Ashford.
The five-acre site, which is close to junction 9 of the M20, has been derelict since 2007 after it was destroyed by fire. Gallagher Properties, based in Maidstone, acquired the five-acre site in 2015 from the Homes & Communities Agency, and this represents the company's first property venture in the Ashford area. It is thought that the new estate could create at least 200 jobs.
Nick Yandle of Gallagher Properties said: "The approved plans include a grounds maintenance depot for Ashford Council, a ready-mix concrete plant for Gallagher Aggregates and 70,000ft2 of industrial warehouse units.
"The grounds maintenance depot is already under way, to be closely followed by the ready mix concrete plant. The precise make-up of the industrial development is yet to be finalised following a review of the market, although it seems certain it will include some starter units of around 1,000ft2.
"The decision sends a very positive message that Ashford Council is keen to promote employment opportunities and bring forward modern, new business premises in the town to support the growing local population. This site is well located and can now be redeveloped to meet market demand for construction materials and new commercial properties. Development opportunity in the Maidstone area is unfortunately impeded, so it makes sense for us to spread our wings and cover a wider area."
Cobbs Wood Industrial Estate is a well-established industrial employment area and Gallagher Properties will now provide new employment space in a modern, well-designed development.
Construction work has already started on site and will be carried out in phases over the next couple of years.
Cllr Gerry Clarkson, Leader of Ashford Borough Council, said: "We are pleased that this site will be brought back into use and welcome these sustainable construction jobs.
"Ashford is the number one business location in Kent and this endorsement of Ashford's success in encouraging investment and economic growth should emphasise to all that our borough is a real draw to significant stakeholders.
"I see similarities between the way that we and Gallagher Properties do business – innovatively, proactively and professionally – and I hope that this is a public-private partnership that can flourish in the long-term."
Gallagher Group employs more than 300 people in Kent, and has carried out construction work in, and supplied construction materials to, the Ashford area for many years.

text: Help. My mother is turning 80 in a couple of weeks, and my sisters and i want to take her to dinner somewhere in the greater Pasadena area OR possibly downtown. My mother is NOT an adventurous diner, and she prefers rather low-key but nice places instead of stuffy, overly-formal and/or cutting edge restaurants. We want to keep the whole thing on the moderate side, price-wise. There will be about 10 of us. Any ideas? Thanks for any suggestions!

Cold Air Intake
I am considering adding a cold air intake on my 2013 RAM 1500 with the 5.7 liter hemi. What brand would you suggest and what can I expect in increased performance and gas mileage? Thanks.
Done to death....
This is one of the most commonly asked attention routes. There are several threads of this nature with near identical questions asked.
A search will yield countless results, as the forum has a very good [thorough] search function. Spend some time reading thru those threads and your questions will most likely have been addressed.
Good luck and welcome to the boards..
Yup. Just go to the top of the board, click "search", & type in CAI. You'll get tons of info. Good luck, and welcome to the forum!
Will do...Thanks.
for the 13's there are really 3 main options, Vararam Air Grabber very nice intake old school look decent power gains retail between $344-$369, S&B intake really no better than putting a hi flow replacement filter in the stock air box however they look nice but are still just as restrictive as the factory air box (the factory air box is a nice design and functions very well), and then you have short ram intakes there are many variations the favorite as of late seems to be the LMI, it is made with true carbon fiber so your heat soak is almost nothing compared to a lot of the others, and it is really the only intake (of the 3 above) that increases your air flow velocity which in turn gives you more power/tourque.
With all 3 you will find those who swear by it, my personal experience is this.
Had factory air box switched it out to an AirAid (not going to be doing that ever again)
Went from the AirAid back to the stock box with a hi flow replacement filter (worked better than the AirAid)
From the stock box w/ hi flow filter to the Vararam Air Grabber (worked very nice and looked killer also, not to loud honestly can barely hear it all for me this was a good thing)
If I still had the truck I would put the LMI on it, I had the pleasure of driving a friend of mines truck with the LMI on it (same truck as mine except I had a 8" lift and he has a 2012 hemi, 4x4 quad cab 4" lift on 35's 3.55 gears, DS tuner) and oh boy could you tell that LMI was on there! It was very nice and seemed to pull a good bit better than any of the other configurations that I had.
Hope this info helps! If you find what you are looking for reach out to us we can almost always get you anything you are looking and at the lowest prices around too :)
K@n black hawk put one on my 2013 i like it sounds good fuel mpg went up.
Thanks for the info. guys...
What model LMI would you suggest?
This is the one I have been recommending to everyone who does not mind an open filter (a filter that is not in a box) it is a true short ram, the carbon fiber is 100% real and hand crafted you can check out all the info here http://bullysperformance.com/lmi-sho...3-5-7-564.html and here is a pic of one installed.
This unit uses a S&B filter which is a very good filter :), but more importantly it is the design and how it is a short ram intake and utilizes true carbon fiber so heat soak is kept to a minimum :)
If you have any other questions just let me know I will be more than happy to assist you with what I can.
Look at your stock intake and ask yourself if a CAI will really be better.

Attenuation of 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity in glutathione peroxidase transgenic mice
Normal cellular metabolism produces oxidants which are neutralized within cells by antioxidant enzymes and other antioxidants. An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants has been postulated to lead to the degeneration of specific populations of neurons in neurodegenerative diseases, e.g. Parkinson's disease. The present study investigates whether overexpression of glutathione peroxidase, the enzyme which metabolizes hydrogen peroxide to water, can prevent or slow down neuronal injury in an animal model of Parkinson's disease. Transgenic mice overexpressing the human glutathione peroxidase gene under the control of the mouse hydroxymethylglutaryl- coenzyme A promoter and genetically matched control mice were injected intracerebroventricularly with the dopaminergic neurotoxin 6- hydroxydopamine. Seven days after injection, the number of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive nigral dopaminergic neurons was decreased by 52.4% and 20.5% in 6-hydroxydopamine-injected control and glutathione peroxidase transgenic mice, respectively. Similarly, 3 days after injection of the neurotoxin, striatal dopamine was decreased by 71.2% and 56.5%, respectively. Overexpression of glutathione peroxidase therefore partially protects dopaminergic neurons against 6-hydroxydopamine-induced toxicity.

This corn turned heads.
I'm in the corn belt. Fields of hybrids in all directions. No one, it seems remembers what corn used to be. I only knew from what my grandparents had described, (their recollection having been from the early 1900's) and they really missed it, so I had to try it once I found it. Like them, I prefer the taste of this corn to the sweet corn varieties which are common here. As a heads up, this corn grows tall. I had some plants as tall as 12 ft. I planted 3 rows, each about 30 ft. long. Some of the plants blew over in the wind storms we had. All but one recovered, but I ended up planting stakes on each end of the rows, and tying cords between the stakes to help support the corn against the wind. It worked. No more trouble with wind. I'll be growing it again this year.

More than half of consumers would refuse to pay more than £100 for a wearable product, a survey by Mobile Choice magazine has shown. More than 2,000 consumers participated in the survey, which revealed that only 6% would stump up more than £200 for a device.
The next six months look set to be a crucial period for wearables sellers according to the survey, with more than three-quarters of those polled saying they were likely to purchase a wearable within this time frame.
Shedding light on the most popular form of wearable, the survey revealed that the 'traditional watch look-alike smartwatch' was the overwhelming favourite among consumers, with nearly 40% naming it as the type of device they would be most likely to buy. Screenless smartbands were the least popular type of wearable among those surveyed, with only 11% saying it was their preferred form.
Fitness, health and sports topped the reasons to purchase a wearable device. However, there is clearly work to be done in convincing consumers of the fashion appeal of wearables, as 'fashion' and 'fashion accessory' were the lowest-scoring categories when it came to reasons to purchase.

Soaring Chinese demand for BMW cars has outstripped local production capacity, requiring the world's leading premium automaker to ramp up exports of German-made vehicles, the firm said Tuesday.
BMW plans to ship 10,000 of its 3 Series models from Munich, southern Germany, to Chinese markets, personnel director Harald Krueger told the Financial Times Deutschland.
"Rising demand in China has meant that our plants in Germany and the United States are at full capacity," said Krueger.
In the first half of 2010, Chinese sales more than doubled and Krueger acknowledged that "we did not expect such strong growth."
Output from the German automaker's plant in Shenyang, northeastern China, cannot keep up with demand and construction on a second plant there has just started, forcing German workers to put in overtime.
In late April, the company raised its sales target for China, now the world's leading auto market overall, to 120,000 vehicles in 2010 from 100,000 in 2009.

I found this video on the blog of "Friendly Atheist"... and loved it. It sums up very nicely what I 'believe' or stand by as my ethical code in life. Apparently the words were taken verbatim from Robert Green Ingersoll from 1887.
