This invention relates to protective athletic headgear, and more particularly to a football helmet.
The conventional face masks on football helmets provide good protection against injury to the mouth, teeth and nose of the wearer. Ironically, however, they do create some risk of injury to the wearer's neck: if another player grips the mask and jerks it abruptly, the mask can act as a lever to increase the twisting force on the neck, and thereby can cause an injury which might not otherwise occur, or can increase its seriousness. (For this reason the penalty in football for a "face mask" violation is a relatively severe assessment of 15 yards.)
The prior art has recognized this risk of injury from face masks, and discloses various attempts to provide face masks which will "break away" or release from the helmet if they are jerked or twisted abruptly to one side or the other. Rozzi U.S. Pat. No. 2,986,739 shows a face mask which is secured on a helmet by a resilient connector that includes a spring clip arrangement which releasably grasps terminal ends of the mask. Critser U.S. Pat. No. 3,283,336 uses a detent mechanism to grasp annular grooves near the terminal ends of the mask, the ends being inserted in mounting brackets which include the detent mechanism. The detents release the mask under a forward pull. Martin U.S. Pat. No. 3,889,296 also uses a detent, and further includes a stabilizing nose-protecting strut. Lancellotti U.S. Pat. No. 4,233,687 shows a face mask having a snap connection to mounting blocks on the side of the helmet, and which releases when pulled. In Bowlus U.S. Pat. No. 4,271,537, the mask is attached by a resilient U-shaped connector which releases on predetermined outward pull. Correale U.S. Pat. No. 4,363,140 uses attaching blocks having spring clips with protective covers.
In accordance with this invention, a helmet is provided with a face mask which provides the usual protective capabilities in response to force applied in the direction toward the player's face, but which will release from its connection to the helmet when excessive force (e.g., force sufficient to hyperextend the neck) is applied in other directions. This result is achieved without the use of clamps, springs or detents between the face mask and the helmet (which could themselves be a source of injury) by a simple, compact, and resilient attachment mechanism. The attachment is provided by a "hook-and-pile" type connection of the mask to the helmet, together with fixed stops on the helmet which abut portions of the face mask and prevent the mask from releasing in response to a force having a component in the direction toward the wearer's face, but which permit the hook-and-pile connection to separate in response to an excessive force in a forward or sideways direction, as when it is twisted or jerked. The hook-and-pile means are sized to hold the mask securely under ordinary forward impact, but to release if the load in other directions exceeds a predetermined amount. (The minimum force effective to cause release is referred to herein as an "excessive force.")
The invention can best be described by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a helmet having a releasable mask in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is an exploded, enlarged view, partly broken away, showing the manner in which ends of the face mask of FIG. 1 are releasably connectable to the helmet;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the presently preferred form of helmet and releasable mask; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary cross-sectional view taken on line 4-4 of FIG. 3.
In the drawings, the football helmet designated generally by 10 has opposite sides 12 and 14 which cover the ears of the wearer, a frontal opening 16, and a face mask 18 over opening 16. The helmet and mask may be conventional in overall construction with the exception of the releasable face mask attaching means described below. It is contemplated that these attaching means can be retro-fitted to existing helmets.
The particular face mask 18 of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises two spaced bars 20 and 22 which are interconnected by spaced vertical posts 24. The bars 20 and 22 converge at their rearward ends, one end 26 being shown in the drawings. The face mask includes two attaching portions which are releasably attached to the helmet by mating hook-and-pile type interengaging means, as described in greater detail below.
Hook-and-pile fastening materials are available commercially under various trademarks such as "Velcro" and "Scotchmate." They comprise two mating portions, one of which has a plurality of tiny resilient loops, the other of which has a plurality of resilient hooks which readily engage with the loops to make a releasable connection between the two portions.
To provide this connection, an attachment plate 28 is secured to the face mask bars 20 and 22 inside each end 26 thereof. The plate has an inside face to which one portion 30 of mating hook-and-pile attaching means is mounted. The hook-and-pile portion 30 cooperates with a cooperating portion 32 which is preferably presented on a seat 34 secured on the side 12 of the helmet. Seat 34, in this embodiment, is in the form of a channel-shaped extrusion having a recessed center in which the cooperating hook-and-pile portion 32 is secured and confined against twist-off. The seat can for example be made of polyurethane or aluminum.
The particular hook-and-pile material which is presently preferred for use in this invention, is "Scotchmate" brand material, type 170/400, which is supplied by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co. This material (both mating portions) is supplied in strips and can be cut to desired lengths and/or widths for attachment to the attachment plate 28 and the seat 34.
Rearwardly of the seat on each side is a stop or abutment 36 which may be of rounded U-shaped configuration as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The abutment presents a forwardly facing surface 38 which physically abuts the rear end 40 of the face mask attachment plate 28 so as to positively prevent the latter from being moved rearwardly, past surface 38. The abutment 36 preferably has forwardly extending arms 42 and 44 which project forward just above and below the attachment plate, thereby preventing the attachment plate from being easily twisted or jerked upwardly or downwardly relative to its attachment to seat 34. Seat 34 and abutment 36 may be secured to the helmet by epoxy, cement, rivets or screws. It can be seen that abutment 36 prevents movement of the face mask toward the face opening, and thereby provides protection of the wearer, but does not prevent movement of the mask away from the frontal opening in response to an excessive twisting or jerking force with a component in a forward direction (such as an illegal grabbing and yanking of the face mask), of magnitude sufficient to overcome the interengagement between the mating hook-and-pile portions 30 and 32.
In the embodiment described above the face mask is attached to the helmet at two opposite rearwardly extending ends. FIGS. 3 and 4 show another embodiment, which is presently preferred, wherein a face mask 46 is attached to the helmet along both sides and across the top of the helmet face opening 16.
In this embodiment mask 46 comprises two spaced bars 48 and 50 which are interconnected by spaced posts 52. The bars 48 and 50 meet and are integrally joined to an attachment portion in the form of a helmet-engaging rail 54. This rail 54 is contoured to match the contour of the helmet around face opening 16, and is releasably engageable with and seatable in a rail seat 56 which is secured to the helmet along the face opening, preferably continuously up one side 58 of the face opening, across the front top 60 of the opening, and down the other side 62 thereof. As shown in FIG. 4, rail 54 seats rearwardly and upwardly in rail seat 56 around the face opening. Rail seat 56 may be secured to the helmet 12 by spaced fasteners such as rivets, one of which is designated by 64. Seat 56 is preferably of L-shaped cross-sectional configuration, with a base 66 and an outwardly projecting peripheral arm or rib 68. Arm 68 projects at approximately a right angle to the surface of the helmet. Rail 54 seats in the angle between the base 66 and arm 68 of rail seat 56.
It is further preferred that a return or lip 70 project from the outer edge of arm 68. Lip 70 engages in a rabbit or recess 72 on chair rail 54 and further improves the resistance of the face mask to undesired release. Preferably rail seat 56 itself resides against and is backed up by a molded annular abutment 74 molded around the helmet face opening (see FIG. 4). Mating halves 76, 78 of a hook-and-pile type fastener are provided on the respective opposed faces of the seat base 66 and rail 54.
The embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 provides a greater degree of protection and resistance to blows toward the head, than the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2. Moreover, it is somewhat cleaner in that side seats 36, rearward of the face opening, are not provided. As in the other embodiment, however, if the bars of the face mask are gripped and jerked forwardly, the interconnection will be released from the helmet.
Hook-and-pile materials are available in different degrees of adhesion or releasability. The degree of force at which a given face mask attachment will release depends not only on the particular brand and model of hook-and-pile material used, but also on the area, shape and positions of attaching means, and the leverage and direction of separating force which is applied. Hook-and-pile fasteners are conventionally separated by a "peeling" motion, in which the separating force is perpendicular to their areas. Here, however, the mask is constrained to separate initially by a shear force which acts parallel to the plane of the fastener, rather than being peeled away. (However, after the connection on one part of the helmet has separated, the face mask may swing around or pivot to release by peeling of other parts of the helmet.) It is contemplated that the force at which the face mask will release in response to a sidewise twist can be controlled by selection of the particular material used and the area of the facially engaging portions, the disengaging force increasing rapidly with increasing surface area. Attachment means which require stronger forces for release should be provided in helmets for stronger and older players. The invention is expected to be most useful for younger players (junior high school and high school), and for these uses the areas required are quite small.

My wife and I travel a lot. We generally visit at least 1 all-inclusive hotel a year. We don't visit the most super-haute hotels in the world -- we go to places that regular people who can pay a normal amount of money, go. We have been to many resorts, so we talk from experience. Sunset Plaza has many, and I repeat, many excellent features, but ultimately, disappoints. We try to write our reviews as objectively as possible, hence, as usual, we will write a list of pros and cons, and you can decide for yourself what is right for you.
1. Very quiet -- it is the upmost relaxing vacation you can ask for. Subtle music, no loud drunks, or annoying entertainers by the pool areas.
2. Clean resort -- but what 4+ hotel isn't clean?
3.Jacuzzis -- there are three excellent Jacuzzis to go to, all substantial size, and all very warm.
4. Pools -- very nice pools, with plenty of seating. The adult pool is especially nice since we were able to find a "bed" there every day we were there!!
5. Service -- generally speaking, the service is, indeed, spectacular. But the resort has no more then 100 people staying there at once (it is a tiny resort!). Thus, what do you expect, they practically have the same amount of people serving you, as there are staying there. 1 to 1 ratio. The fact that the resort is small lends itself to having good service.
1. Food -- it is hard to evaluate the food situation. What some people wrote is correct; yes, some food is total garbage, but other stuff is quite good, believe it or not. Coming from NYC, we know what good food is, and the grilled fish served every day was very delicious. Especially the snapper, and ceviche. In reality, it was a hit or miss, depending on day and time of day.
1. Beach -- the WORST BEACH EVER! We kid you not -- do not go to this resort if you are beach people (like us!) We are not fans of pools (the overall idea of a pool is kind of "meh"), but we were literally forced to be poolside the whole stay at Sunset. Not only is the beach dirty, but its also crowded with vendors, locals, and people from other resorts. I mean, come one folks, take some pride in your resorts and at least clean up the beach a bit. Total and utter disappointment. To be honest, if the beach was at least an "average" one, we would have rated this place a 4+. But, sorry, the beach was just a disaster. (Also, no life guard on duty, ever)
2. Check out -- we were very upset the last day there. Javier, the hotel manager, was not there to assist us (he greeted us initially on our first day, and checked us in). We were hoodwinked by the gentlemen checking us out, talking some nonsense about exchange rates (we both work in Finance, don't kid us, please!). Then they over charged us on services that had an agreed upon price. Javier had told us to approach him with any issues, if we ever had any, and he wasn't even there. It was shocking how a resort that prides itself on service, could be so malicious at check out.
It saddens us to give this resort a 3 star rating because we liked it, in reality, we really did. But the last day killed us, and the beach was upsetting (just looking at it hurt). I apologize for such a rating, but it is the rating it, inevitably, deserves.
Overall, the breakdown for recommendations go like this:
Pool lover: Yes, but be cautious.
Beach lover: Please god, no!

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 46 reviews
5-10 minute walk to old town and prague castle as well as many good places to eat. My room did not have a view of the castle, but it is in prime location for any activity you are looking to do in Prague. The room was big and had high ceilings. The bathroom was in our room, but between the bedroom and the foyer which was nice. My honest only down for this hotel was that There was no iron in the room- but that is so minor it is hardly worth mentioning. The staff is also great. They held our bags and arranged a cab to and from. if I ever visit Prague again, I won't look at other hotels.
Pluses: 1) the staff is very friendly, pleasant and helpful; 2) Great location close to the both Castle and Old Town 3) Room on the top floor where I stayed was very quiet Minuses: 1) Air conditioner did not work properly, even though weather outside was quite chilly 2) The interior looks somewhat dated Caution note to American tourists. It appears that star ratings in Europe do not follow the same standards as in the US. 4 star hotel in Praque or Berlin does not even begin to approach quality of 4 star hotel in the US. As long as one clearly understands that 4 star hotels.com rating from the US and the same 4 stars from Germany or Czech republic, no one will ever be disapointed.
Lovely hotel with lots of character. The rooms were nicer than I had anticipated. Very friendly staff which spoke English. Hotel Wifi works well and the complimentary breakfast was very nice. Hotel staff was available 24/7 to answer questions and arranged my taxi to the airport. Overall, wonderful experience and I hope to have the chance to return!
This hotel is perfectly situated for seeing all of Prague's sites. The rooms feel luxurious and the staff is great. I would definitely stay here again.
Very satisfied for the price.

Skip to comments.AC-130 "Puff the Magic Dragon"
Posted on 10/16/2001 7:19:27 AM PDT by Dirk McQuickly
Puff the Magic Dragon
Have any FREEpers seen this baby up close?
Some Afghanis have but I doubt they will be talking about it!
You're likely to get some mild flaming on your post, as this is about the tenth post where the SPECTRE (C-130/H) and the SPOOKY C-130/U) are referred to as "Puff the Magic Dragon" which began life as a C-47 / DC-3.
Otherwise, thanks for the cool pic.
The pilot flies the aircraft in a very precise arc while the weapons guys pick AND DESTROY 'surgical' targets, or blanket an area for suppression and destruction. The Spectre and Spooky can be both discriminate and indiscriminate, but always devastating.
The crew of this AC-130A "Spectre" gunship, named Azrael--Angel of Death, (Azrael, in the Koran, was the angel of death who severed the soul from the body) displayed courage and heroism during the closing hours of Desert Storm. On February 26, 1991, the allied ground forces were driving the Iraqi army out of Kuwait. The crew of Azrael, Spectre #54-1630, was sent to the Al Jahra highway between Kuwait City and Basrah, Iraq, to intercept the convoys of tanks, trucks, buses, and cars that were fleeing the battle. Facing numerous enemy batteries of SA-6 and SA-8 missiles, and 37mm and 57mm radar-guided anti-aircraft artillery, the crew attacked the enemy skillfully, inflicting significant damage to the convoys. The crew's heroic efforts left much of the enemy's equipment destroyed or unserviceable, contributing to the defeat of the Iraqi forces. On February 28, 1991, Iraq agreed to a cease-fire.
During the 1950s the versatile C-130 Hercules was originally designed as an assault transport but was adapted for a variety of missions, including weather mapping and reconnaissance, mid-air space capsule recovery, search and rescue, ambulance service, drone launching, and mid-air refueling of helicopters. The C-130 could transport up to 92 combat troops and their gear or 45,000 pounds of cargo. Where facilities were inadequate, the Hercules could deliver cargo by parachute or by using the low altitude parachute extraction system (LAPES) without landing. The AC-130A "Spectre" is a C-130 that was converted to a side-firing gunship, primarily for night attacks against ground targets. In addition to its armament, it also possessed sensors, a target acquisition system, and a forward looking infra-red (FLIR) and lowlight television system.
The aircraft on display was assigned to the 919th Special Operations Wing (SOW) and was retired to the Museum in October 1995.
Span: 132 ft. 7 in.
Length: 96 ft. 10 in.
Weight: 124,200 lbs. max.
Armament: Two 7.62 miniguns plus two 20mm and two 40mm cannon
Engines: Four Allison T-56-A-9D turboprops of 3,750 equivalent shaft horsepower ea.
Serial number: 54-1630
Max. speed: 380 mph/330 knots
Cruising speed: 335 mph/291 knots
Range: 2,500 statute miles/2,172 nautical miles
Service ceiling: 33,000 ft.
Praying this time it will end differently, JL
The gun ship had 2 side firing 20mm Vulcan cannons (gatling guns) a 105mm cannon, and a 40 mm cannon , all individually targeted via a suiteconsisting of four crewmen sitting on the starboard side (right). Most of the monitors were covered with canvas covers and IDed by a crewman as sensors.
Snatch Job was VERY interesting, in the Cargo Area was configured to hold about 30 pax, in the ole sling seats. A VERY young crew chief explained that this a/c was designed to land and take off on about 1300ft. His quote We can land this without any reference to the ground in any weather, day or night, we prefer the night The cockpit had a impressive array of FLIR monitors.
I left feeling very proud of the crews, they were our very best and brightest, and VERY brave. My thoughts these days are with them, may God watch over them and keep them safe for they truly are the tip of the spear in this operation.
God Bless America
Pic of a AC-47 gunship aka "Puff".
My service in the USAF special ops was a bit after the Vietnam war. A few of the old sergeants I worked with related how the mere mention of Puff on the radio sent the VC scurrying out of the area. Sometimes they even simulated a call to Puff to get the same effect when no Puff was available.
The 105MM cannon fires both the M-1, 32.5 pound high explosive (HE) and the M-60, 34.2 pound white phosphorous (WP) projectile. The fuzes available for the HE round are the super quick M-557,selectable to point detonate (PD) or a 0.05 second delay, the hardened FMU-153B, with PD or 0.007 second delay, and the M-732 proximity fuze, which detonates at approximately 7 meters above the ground, or point detonates if the proximity function is not set or fails.
The M-1 HE projectile with the M-557 fuze in the PD mode is effective against personnel and light vehicles. The M-1 HE projectile with M-557 fuze in delay is effective against light structures and personnel under heavy foliage or cover as the round penetrates prior to detonation. This combination does not work as well against concrete or hardened structures as the fuze and projectile may break up on impact, causing the round to not function. With the FMU-153B fuze in delay mode, the M-1 HE projectile has hardened target penetration capability. The M-732 also makes the M1 HE round an effective personnel physical suppression weapon, as the air burst enables the fragmentation to impact prone or entrenched troops.
For effective area coverage it may be necessary to fire several rounds at least 20 degrees apart, aiming approximately 2 mils high of the central point. The M-732 fuze may function based on the height of the highest obstacle in the area. The M-60 WP round, used only with the M-557 fuze, is an effective smoke round with limited incendiary effect.
This REMF has only seen one at an air show. They actually let us walk through it. An amazin' machine!
Here's another pretty piece of eye candy I haven't seen on FR before:
Here's another one, over Vietnam perhaps?
Anyone know? . . . What is the difference between Puff the Magic Dragon and Spooky?
The former's an AC-47, the latter's an AC-130.
130-47=83 ;-)
A merry tune sung by the gunship crews. It is sung to the tune of "Ghost Riders in the Sky", an old country/western tune.
Fly high you mighty Spectre, you ship of blazing fools
Deal death around the table, and never play by rules
Lift up your wings at suns last ray, and silent like the night
Fly East to where your target lies, and start your deadly fight
Your foes will not suspect you're near, until they feel your sting
Spit forth a flame that points at death, and make your bullets sing
Though flak explode around you, stay on your circled path
Bathe the bad in bloody steel, make them feel your wrath
When all is quiet down below, and flames reach for the sky
Speed home you battle-weary ship, for soon the dark will fly
Speed home you mighty Spectre, touch down at sun's first ray
You've flown to hell for battle, but shun the light of day
Rest, rest you awesome Spectre, lick your battle wounds
And fill your side with deadly store for night is coming soon.
I saw this and my first thought was: "HOW THE F do you get a howitzer in a plane?"
This is Puff:

Actually, the official Air Force name was "Spooky." I saw many while I was in Nam. It was interesting to see them work out at night. All we could see, was a steady stream of tracers raining down from the sky.

The weather is beautiful in the fall. I like when the snow begins to fall, but after awhile I don't want it around anymore. It's so cold to walk to class, everyone is sick of the winter weather.
There are buses and taxis everywhere. The closest airport is Detroit, and it can take awhile to get there with traffic. I have no idea where the nearest train station is. Having a car would be difficult because there is no place to park it.
Health & Safety:
If you're out alone at night, you can call SafeRide, and they will come pick you up, and take you where you need to go. Most of the buses run until 2 a.m. You hear about crime, but most of it is off-campus.
Our school has the best school spirit. Everyone looks forward to Football Saturdays. All of our teams do really well, and everyone supports them.
Campus Housing:
It depends on where you live. If you get stuck at Markley or on North, it sucks. Markley's rooms are so tiny and the building is so old and needs to be redone. If you get placed in one of the dorms that were redone, the rooms are big, and the buildings are so nice.
Nursing is a direct admit program and is one of the best in the nation. The curriculum can be somewhat difficult, but can be managed. All of your schedule is laid out for you for all four years.
I hope to get my Doctorate degree and become a DNP. I don't think I'll have trouble finding a job.
Local Area:
Transportation is good, there a a lot of buses and they usually run every 15 minutes.
Greek Life:
I'm not in greek life, but it seems like getting into a sorority is hard, and if you're not in a frat, you can't party at frats.
Don't catch you for underage drinking unless you are acting very drunk and almost incoherent
Great support from my advisor
Party Scene:
Mostly hang out with friends in the dorms
Campus Food:
Great pizzas made to your request in Markley.
The buses are pretty convenient and are very helpful for most students.
Some are harder to get into than others but that's normal. There are many majors available and some flexibility which is nice.
I don't mind my specific program but I'm trying to get into a different one that best suits my needs.
I had a hard time getting the amount of financial aid I thought I deserved. Also, the process was lengthy and a bit confusing. Not very many scholarships were offered to anyone besides people of color, which is not fair.
Off-Campus Housing:
It's usually expensive and hard to find but well worth it in the end.
Campus Housing:
I love how different all the housing options are and how social some are. But I don't like the distance of some and I don't like the housing process.
Drug Safety:
Alcohol and drug usage are high and not particularly enforced.
Greek Life:
There are pros and cons to Greek Life here
Off-Campus Dining:
Could be better for such a big city.
We have a lot of school spirit in our athletics.
Workload is tough but worth it. Receive one of the best educations around.
I haven't had any problems but I know many people who get away with a lot of things.

Election 2008
Southern Political Expert: Tide Turns for Democrats
Democrats just picked up two congressional seats in special elections in Mississippi and Louisiana — areas that are usually Republican strongholds. Political scientist Merle Black of Emory University thinks Democrats will keep winning seats in the region during congressional races this fall, but adds that he doesn't think their luck will extend to the presidential election.
Host Renee Montagne talks with Black, who says the tides are turning for Democrats in the South.

die-hards a great deal. Look up the individual titles for more detailed comments from me.
DIRTY HARRY (1971) 4- Stars
A very well made genre film that holds up very well and remains
a pretty violent and gritty film. Directed by Don Siegel and featuring one of Eastwoods finest and most charismatic performances, this is the one that set into stone one of the most enduring formulas for action films. A formula still in use today.
Magnum Force (1973) 3 1/2 stars
the first Harry sequel is a film for action movie and or Eastwood junkies to appreciate. It softens Dirty Harry's character however and actually makes more political type statements than Dirty Harry does. It's not a great genre film but it mostly holds up pretty well and is entertaining.
THE ENFORCER (1976) 2 1/2 stars
The Enforcer really changed Harry Callahan's character. On one hand he's a bad-(...) quick with the quips kind of a guy... but he's really quite a softie. The film turns Harry into a kind of fish out of water dinosaur. When it was made, that variation on the Action film hero wasn't as cliché'd as it is now, but it still feels forced and insincere. It's watch-able but don't have high expectations for this one. Lalo Schiffrin didn't do the score for this one unfortunately and he's missed. This is also John (one year younger brother of Robert) Mitchum's last Harry film (he played Detective
'Fatso' DiGeorgio in the first three Harry's).Read more ›

No Man's Sky: Dutch-based company claims Hello Games used patented superformula to create game
Jul 20, 2016 | 27 Comments
Cityville, Zynga's follow-up to games like Farmville and Frontierville has exploded in popularity over its first month of release, quickly becoming the most popular application on Facebook. In March 2010, Farmville peaked in popularity with 83.76 million players, while Cityville has reached 84.2 million users, despite only being released in mid-December.
With growth of Facebook and the quick success of Cityville, it's suggested that the game could eventually grow to as much as 125 million active users.
Is this success justified? By my count I get a lot more enjoyment out of Popcap's Facebook offerings than I ever got out of Zynga's games. What do you think of Cityville so far? Sound off in the comments section below.

Blog: Illicit stills and a dose of patriotism
Andy Morton | 6 February 2013
Moonshine operations are on the rise in Oklahoma, but one newspaper is firmly behind the illegal liquor merchants.
"Distilling moonshine for personal use is a God-given, American right," the Oklahoma Daily thundered until it was red, white and blue in the face. Apparently, those meddling "wig-wearing" politicians refuse to drop the moonshine tax, much to the Daily's annoyance. As it says, "Would we tax a backyard vegetable garden or chicken coop making eggs?"
Last year, an analyst told me that Russia's low-value vodka makers are finding consumers either trading up to premium spirits or falling down into the illegal, non-taxed sector. With US beverage companies seemingly more fixated on premiumisation than ever, perhaps Oklahoma's moonshiners will find their customer base increasing correspondingly.
Then those wig-wearers might have something to worry about.

the poem call rescued dog
Over a year ago
once i was a lonely dog,
just looking for a home.
i had no place to go,
no one to call my own.
i wandered up and down the streets,
in the heat and snow.
i ate what ever i could find,
i was always on the go.
my skin would itch, my feet were sore,
my body ached with pain.
and no one would stop to give me a pat
or gently say my name.
i never saw a loving glance,
i was always on the run.
for the people thought that hurting me ,
was really lots of fun.
and one day i heard a voice
so gentle, kind and sweet
and arms so soft reached down to me
and took me off my feet.
" no one again will hurt you"
was whispered to my ear.
you'll have a home to call your own
where you will know no fear
you'll be dry and warm
you'll have lots to eat
and rest assured that when you sleep,
your dreams will be sweet.
now every night i say a prayer
thank u for the life i live
and all you've given me.
but most of all protect the dogs
in the pound and on the streets
and send them a rescue person to lift them off their feet.

The 2nd & 3rd Days I Owned Louboutin Pumps
Remember the first pair of Christian Louboutin black pumps I ordered from Tradesy? A size 37.5 was too small that I couldn't even get my feet into them. Luckily Tradesy lets you return any order for any reason, and they even pay for the postage to send them back. So I sent those back, and when my credit was back in my account, I ordered size 38 in a slingback pump. I really wanted a classic pump, but the slingback pumps were a size larger and less expensive than the classic pumps. But … [Read more...]
Open-Toed Boots Take Center Stage
Remember all the old fashion rules? Well, forget everything you mom taught you. The new rules...there are no rules. It's more than okay to wear white after Labor Day. You should mix patterns. In fact it's encouraged. Yes, you are allowed to don open-toed shoes with tights (just make sure there are no toe seems or reinforcements showing). And not only can you wear open-toed shoes in the cool months (and even winter), it's a trend that is red hot. And this year it's not only about open-toed … [Read more...]
The Day I Owned Louboutin Black Pumps
One of my lifelong dreams has been to own a pair of authentic classic Louboutin black pumps. The problem is that I haven't been able to justify paying over a thousand dollars for one pair of shoes when I have mouths to feed and bills to pay! And then I discovered Tradesy. Tradesy lets people buy and sell pre-owned and gently used designer and clothing and accessories. I ordered the above beautiful Christian Louboutin black pumps complete with original bag, box and packaging. I had Tradesy … [Read more...]

Beijing's swelling missile arsenal includes a new submarine-launched JL-2 ballistic missile that will for the first time enable Chinese submarines to strike parts of the United States from China's coastal waters, states the 2013 Ballistic and Cruise Missile Threat Assessment, produced by the Department of Defense's National Air and Space Intelligence Center.
It adds that the number of Chinese ICBM nuclear warheads capable of reaching the United States "could expand to well over 100 within the next 15 years."
Supporters of the U.S. military's beleaguered missile defense plans seized on the assessment, saying it underscores the need to push ahead with the controversial programs, which are derided by critics as too expensive and ineffective.
"For too long the Obama administration has allowed our missile defense program to languish when they should have been working to prepare for these imminent threats," Rep. Michael Turner, Ohio Republican and a member of the House Committee for Armed Services.
The report also confirms the revelation, first reported by The Washington Times, that North Korea last year deployed a new, road-mobile inter-continental ballistic missile, or ICBM — the Hwasong-13. The authors of the report note that the missile has not been flight-tested, and say the number of its stages, its fuel and its range are unknown.
"North Korea has an ambitious ballistic missile development program and has exported missiles and missile technology to other countries, including Iran and Pakistan," says the assessment, which was released this week.
The report repeats the assessment by U.S. intelligence agencies that Iran could develop and test an ICBM capable of reaching the United States as early as 2015.
"Iran has ambitious ballistic missile and space launch development programs and continues to attempt to increase the range, lethality, and accuracy of its ballistic missile force," the assessment states.
The Department of Defense's National Air and Space Intelligence Center is based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

Since the launch of Professional Builder's Daily Feed newsletter on June 4, 2014, I have scanned thousands upon thousands of news stories about or related to home building in some way.
Because windows involve both the interior and exterior of the home, installing them can involve a lot of planning. How they look from inside and outside, as well as how the client feels about their privacy, are important considerations. To maximize energy conservation and make the home as comfortable as possible, the right tools and equipment are needed to install and reframe your clients' new windows.
To meet the growing demand for reclaimed building products, Jeld-Wen has launched its Custom Reclaimed Wood line.
Moisture control techniques for wood-framed homes
Moisture can be the nemesis of today's more tightly-built wood-framed homes. Creating a tight building envelope is only one part of the equation in creating a high-performing, energy-efficient house — if it's not coupled with strategies for letting accumulated moisture out of wall cavities, it can be a recipe for disaster. The NAHB Research Center offers moisture control tips for wood-framed homes.
Earlier this year at the International Builders' Show in Orlando, the HousingZone.com editorial team toured the show floor in search of breakthrough product introductions. Here are 16 window and door products that caught our eye.
Marvin's Clad Ultimate Glider
Marvin Windows and Doors' Clad Ultimate Glider features one-hand operation, a patent-pending handle-and-lock system, and low handle placement for ease of use.
When it comes to specifying window systems for new-home projects, energy efficiency and price are the top considerations among home builders, according to a December 2010 survey of Professional Builder readers. Nearly eight in 10 survey respondents ranked energy efficiency as a top factor, while about two-thirds said price is a key consideration.
The largest of the three Show Village homes at 3,060 square feet, the Treasure Sands model is designed specifically for the resort rental market, with accommodations for multiple families and large groups. The four-bedroom house is loaded with a variety of living and entertainment spaces and amenities, including a home theater, hobby room, and master suite retreat.
At a scant 528 square feet, the Eco-Cabana model from Palm Harbor Homes may be small in stature but it is mighty when it comes to green living. Designed to meet DOE's Builders Challenge energy performance requirements of sub-70 on the HERS Index, the model will be loaded with high-performance, sustainable features.
Measuring just 30 feet in width, the Sea Breeze model is designed specifically for narrow-lot, infill applications for just about any region or environment in the country — from coastal settings and mountainous areas to urban landscapes and traditional suburban neighborhoods.
Our annual report of the top window and door products of the year.
High-performance, green, sustainable — all are terms that are often used interchangeably. While they may conjure visions of solar roof panels, geothermal heating, and other expensive technologies, most home builders agree that the most important components of a high-performance home are windows, insulation, and HVAC systems.

My computer is showing system too lean. I ran a systems check for all oxygen sensors, and the egr valve. All checks OK. I reset the computer and the check egine light is off. What could have caused this light to come on and show this code. If it matters, the van was taken out into a snowstorm the night before.

Three San Francisco-Area Hotels Now Up For Sale

SAN FRANCISCO—Nob Hill Properties, Inc. has put three San Francisco Bay-area hotels up for sale. Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, LP is marketing the three iconic assets.
The properties include the Huntington Hotel and the Galleria Park Hotel in San Francisco and the La Playa Hotel and Cottages-by-the-sea in Carmel-by-the-sea, CA. Nob Hill holds a fee interest in the Huntington and La Playa hotels and a leased-fee interest in the land beneath the Galleria. Consequently, Nob Hill is only selling its leased-fee interest as a ground lessor in the land beneath the Galleria.
According to HFF, the assets have not been put up for sale for more than 50 years and two of three are unencumbered by management and a flag.
The 12-story, 140-room Huntington Hotel was built in 1924 atop Nob Hill and has been significantly renovated throughout its time. It has never been up for sale previously.
The La Playa Hotel has 75 rooms plus six stand-alone cottages. The property is being sold unencumbered by management.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.
