Jim Ervin says Ballymena will be fully focused on the job in hand as they prepare to face Cliftonville in the semi final for a FOURTH time.
The NI Football League confirmed last night the last four showdown, which has fallen foul of the weather on three occasions, will be played this Saturday afternoon.
The Sky Blues skipper is itching to get the game played as they bid to retain the trophy.
"Hopefully it will be fourth time lucky," said Ervin. "We will be fully focused on progressing into another final.
"Our main objective at the start of the season was to retain the League Cup and that is still in our sights.
"It has all the makings of a great game with two teams who will go at each other and put everything in to it.
"Tuesday's decision was the hardest to take because it came so late in the day.
"We had all our preparation done and we all ready for the game.
"But it was the correct decision, the officials were in a no-win situation because of the previous postponements and with the final next week.
"At the end of the day though safety is paramount and the pitch just wasn't playable, so it was the only decision the referee could make."
Cliftonville boss Barry Gray echoed Ervin's sentiments about Tuesday's postponement.
"It was the correct decision, it would have been a disaster really because of the conditions," he said.
"I fully understand how difficult it has been for the League as they have built up the competition in recent years attracting great sponsorship and television coverage from Sky.
"The competition has a lot of prestige associated with it now and the last thing anyone wants is for the final to have to be rescheduled.
"Unfortunately the weather has impacted on everyone, but hopefully it will be resolved on Saturday."

On October 24th, at around 8:25 that evening, I was driving out of a valley and upon cresting the hill; I noticed one square orange light in the sky well above the tree line. While I was looking at the light, another light lit and then another until there were 5 square orange lights lit making a bright rectangle. Then the sky went black. Then again the lights came on in succession until 5 square orange lights were lit and then the sky went black.
I pulled my car over and got out to see if I could hear a helicopter or plane. I heard neither. There was nothing up there and I could hear nothing. This all lasted around 3 minutes, if that long.

The Right Carpet Stair Treads for Your Needs
Many of us have stairs to get to floor 2, 3, and so on. The floor surface is made from a variety of materials, ranging from coarse materials to fine one. We sometimes see that the floor was not clean because of the use of the previous homeowners. Here is the use of carpet stair treads that can help to facilitate the day-to-day activities.
The Use of Carpet Stair Treads
Everybody of your family will surely pass the stair because it is the way to pass from one floor to another. If you have a floor made of slippery material, then you should be careful. It can harm your family, especially if you have small children. That is why, you should use carpet stair treads for families to avoid unwanted dangers. You can also cover the color and shape of the surface of the stairs you do not like by carpet stair treads. Basically, carpet stair treads have many types and shapes, and of course you can choose the best for your stairs.
The Right Carpet Stair Treads for You
To determine the desired carpet stair treads, surely it must be adapted to the needs. If you want the carpet stair treads to avoid the dangers of slippery floors due to a layer of wax on it, then you can simply use the stair tread rugs. The rectangular stair tread rugs are enough to cover the surface of the stairs. But, if you want to prevent your family from the dangers of injury and at the same time to cover the bad of the stairs, you can cover the whole staircase with a carpet that is designed in such a way. You can get it in a furniture store or even make yourself at home.
If you use the stair carpet treads, maybe you will find that there is a double-sided tape on the carpet behind. As a suggestion, do not just use double-sided tape to attach the carpet stair rugs because the carpet could have been missed from stair rugs that is not too attached. You still have pressed them together with glue so that you can make sure that the carpet is attached properly. Prevention of injury from the start as it certainly is better than waiting for an accident.

Researchers have demonstrated disk write speeds one hundred times faster than current hard drives. The method uses a laser to heat the recording surface and alter its magnetic field. There is no equivalent read speed increase though.
According to a report in Science Now, Dutch scientists at Radboud University Nijmegen used a laser to send flashes of polarised light to a 5-micron-wide spot on a disk surface which was heated. The sheer angular momentum of the photons hitting the recording surface was then able to flip the magnetic field if the light was polarised one way, but left it unaltered if polarised in the other direction. A traditional magnetic field reader was then able to detect binary ones or zeroes accordingly.
This shows the promise of heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR).
The laser flash duration was 40 femtoseconds - 40 billionths of a millionth of a second - which is 100 times shorter than the time needed for a current write head to change the magnetic field direction on a hard drive disk recording bit. Thus there is the promise of increasing data writing speed up to one hundred times. This will enable hard disk data writing speed to better keep up with ever-faster data transfers across networks.
However there are problems to be resolved. Firstly the recording area, at 5-microns wide, is very much bigger than the sub-half micron area in today's hard drives. Drive users won't accept a substantial decrease in areal density, meaning lower disk capacity, as the price of a substantial speed increase. However, the researchers expect to get it down to a 10 nanometre area.
A second problem is that the read component of the disk head remains magnetic and there is, as yet, no technology promising a hundredfold increase in read speed.
Physicist Julius Hohlfeld of the Seagate Research establishment in Pittsburgh says that a third problem is the need to have an affordable laser that can fire 40 femtosecond pulses.
Daniel Stanciu, co-author of the research paper, expects a working prototype within ten years, which means that a commercial product could be 13 - 15 years away. That would take us to 2019 or thereabouts. Seagate has suggested that HAMR could increase area density to 50Tbit/sq inch by 2019, meaning a 40-50TB 2.5-inch hard drive would be theoretically possible.

The Washington Post Reveals Where American Homicides Go Unsolved
Courtesy of ZeroHedge. View original post here.
The Washington Post identified 50 of America's largest cities where violent crime is widespread, but the vast majority of homicides go unsolved — without any arrests. These areas of decaying inner cities were identified by examining up to a decade of homicide arrest data from the nation's largest cities. The report provides the most in-depth analysis of 52,000 unsolved homicides on a block by block basis where law enforcement agencies across the country have failed to catch killers.
According to the report, the overall homicide arrest rate in the 50 cities is 49 percent, but in some areas where violent crime is out of control, law enforcement agencies made arrests less than 33 percent of the time.
The Post points out the troubling low-arrest rate is occurring during a significant decline in violence across the country with "34 of the 50 cities have a lower homicide arrest rate now than a decade ago."
In violent crime-plagued cities, such as decaying Baltimore and Chicago, law enforcement agencies solve very few homicides in entire neighborhoods "stretching for miles…with virtually no arrests," said The Post.
Oddly enough, in places such as Atlanta, law enforcement personnel have a high-arrest rate in the city's most violent neighborhoods.
Law enforcement agencies attribute the failure to solve homicides in these violent neighborhoods "on insufficient resources and poor relationships with residents, especially in areas that grapple with drug and gang activity where potential witnesses fear retaliation," said The Post.
Families of those killed, and even some law enforcement personnel interviewed by The Post, overwhelmingly said the responsibility rests with law enforcement agencies who are not proactive in their communities. All agree that unsolved homicides increase violent crimes in low-arrest areas.
Detectives and criminal investigators said the probability of solving a homicide is low without community cooperation, which distrust of law enforcement agencies makes it virtually impossible to close cases.
"If these cases go unsolved, it has the potential to send the message to our community that we don't care," said Oakland police Capt. Roland Holmgren, who leads the department's criminal investigation division. That city has two no-go zones where unsolved homicides are clustered.
The in-depth data analysis, which The Post claims is more accurate than the national homicide data published yearly by the FBI, allows researchers to view America's unsolved homicides on a block by block basis via maps.
With little arrests and homicides soaring, there are 17 out of 50 cities from The Post's list that are in serious trouble.
One happens to be Indianapolis, where only 64 of the 155 criminal homicides in 2017 resulted in an arrest. The city has four no-go zones with a high concentration of violent crime and unsolved murders.
The Post noted that community members in low-arrest areas fear retaliation from gangs if they communicate with law enforcement.
Indianapolis law enforcement officials told The Post that local gangs posted a video on social media titled "Ain't no tellin," filmed at a cemetery. In the video, gang members went full Hollywood acting out a scene in which a man was killed — likely because he spoke with detectives.
In Omaha, Nebraska, law enforcement made an arrest in 60 percent of homicides across the city; however, there is a 12-block no-go area where an arrest is made in just 15 percent of its homicides.
"It's one of the best indicators of how well a police department and a community work together," said Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer. "If a police department can't solve the greatest crime, the most egregious crime affecting society, what faith would you have in that police department?"
In Los Angeles, law enforcement officials told The Post that homicides have declined annually, and a little more than 50 percent of the 2,200 homicides since 2010 have led to an arrest.
The reoccurring theme with all of the 50 cities, is that troubled neighborhoods tend to have the most unsolved homicides.
Charles Wellford, a University of Maryland criminologist, said, " some types of homicide — gang violence, drive-by shootings, stranger-on-stranger killings — can be especially challenging to solve."
"But with the right resources and a little luck, almost any homicide can lead to an arrest," Wellford said, adding, "Almost all of the variation in clearance can be attributed to the way in which a department approaches clearing homicide."
Out of 52,179 homicides in 50 cities from 2011 to 2017, 51 percent did not result in an arrest. Here are some of the cities across the United States with the lowest arrest rates for homicides:
From 2011 to 2017, 45 percent of the 914 homicides in Phoenix resulted in an arrest, which means 55 percent of the homicides went unsolved.
Oakland, California
From 2008 to 2017, 46 percent of the 947 homicides in Oakland resulted in an arrest, which means 54 percent of the homicides went unsolved.
New Orleans
From 2010 to 2017, 35 percent of the 1,434 homicides in New Orleans resulted in an arrest, which means 65 percent of the homicides went unsolved.
From 2007 to 2017, 40 percent of the 744 homicides in Miami resulted in an arrest, which means 60 percent of the homicides went unsolved.
From 2010 to 2017, 41 percent of the 2,519 homicides in Detroit resulted in an arrest, which means 59 percent of the homicides went unsolved.
From 2007 to 2017, 47 percent of the 631 homicides in Pittsburgh resulted in an arrest, which means 53 percent of the homicides went unsolved.
San Bernardino, California
From 2012 to 2017, 38 percent of the 275 homicides in San Bernardino resulted in an arrest, which means 62 percent of the homicides went unsolved.
St. Louis
From 2007 to 2017, 46 percent of the 1,677 homicides in St. Louis resulted in an arrest, which means 54 percent of the homicides went unsolved.
Stockton, California
From 2007 to 2016, 40 percent of the 444 homicides in Stockton resulted in an arrest, which means 60 percent of the homicides went unsolved.
From 2007 to 2017, 35 percent of the 2,827 homicides in Baltimore resulted in an arrest, which means 65 percent of the homicides went unsolved.
While The Post has undoubtedly delivered an in-depth, shocking reality to the unsolved homicides across many of America's dying metropolises, it seems as Baltimore has tied New Orleans for number one in the nation for unsolved murders. With that being said, Baltimore law enforcement officials have desperately resorted to gunshot detection systems — strung out across many of these troubled neighborhoods, with the intent of catching the killers with technology. America is a mess.

Lohan Hits A Guy and Drives Away — I Smell Trouble [VIDEO]
Well, Lindsay Lohan has managed to get herself into trouble again. TMZ is reporting that last night, as she was leaving a club in Hollywood in her new Porsche, she attempted a three-point turn and, according to eye witnesses, hit a guy. After hitting this gentlemen (who was the manager of the Hookah Lounge next door), she quickly drove away, with out so much as checking if the guy was okay. As it turns out, the dude was fine and, as one eye witness said, got up and started "smoking his Hookah."
Ah, but the plot thickens. This morning, at about six am, it was reported the manager has checked himself into the emergency room and plans on hiring an attorney and pressing charges.
Poor Lindsay Lohan. Trouble always seems to find her. Then again, if she had not gone to a club last night and stayed home and watched a DVR recording of HBO's hit TV movie "Game Change," none of this would have happened. Or if she simply stopped her car and checked if the guy was okay, then also maybe this wouldn't be a problem. But, alas, Lindsay Lohan is not a normal human being.
TMZ interviewed one of the eye witnesses. Besides the fact he gives his version of the events, there's plenty of unintentional comedy here. When asked if he saw the manager fall down, the guy responds, "I don't know. I was talking to a chick at the time."

Bruxism or tooth grinding is a common problem that can happen for numerous reasons such as stress, problems in a bite, or just a bad habit. It causes a plethora of problems including worn teeth, broken teeth, loose teeth, muscle soreness, headaches, or TMJ ( joint) pain.
The first stage of treatment is stopping the damage with the use of a custom nightguard called an orthotic. This will protect the teeth as well as relax the muscles and decrease inflammation in the joint.
The second stage of rebuilding the lost tooth structure is optional but many of our patients choose to rebuild the lost beauty and function of their teeth. This is a highly personal decision based on how much damage has been done and a person's own value of a great smile or ideal function. Many of our patients are very happy wearing the nightguard to prevent further damage. Whichever you decide, we are here to help you prevent further damage.

This is not an easy question.
But at least one thing is for sure – setting up an SMSF gives you control of your Super instead of leaving your wealth to be managed by others.
It makes sense that no one is interested in your retirement as much as you are.
For many people a combination of factors contribute to them starting an SMSF.
Consider the following 4 timing considerations to see whether you are ready for an SMSF.
A quick answer is that there is no minimum balance required to start an SMSF.
This is in contrast to a common rule of thumb in the SMSF industry that you should have at least $200,000 in Superannuation benefits before you consider a Self Managed Super Fund.
Click here to bust the $200,000 SMSF myth.
Switching to an SMSF, especially running it with a low-cost SMSF service provider like ESUPERFUND may save thousands of Super fees for you every year.
But do you have the time, knowledge & an active interest to build up your Super within an SMSF and at the same time ensure your SMSF is complying with the Superannuation law?
The good news is that ESUPERFUND provides great learning resources to SMSF trustees for self-education for Free.
Download our SMSF information package today to learn the basics of SMSF's or visit our learning centre here to advance your knowledge.
Another key benefit of SMSFs is that with an SMSF, you can invest in a wider range of investment options than with Traditional Superfunds – including direct Property.
Investing in Property in an SMSF may help you diversify your assets, and potentially save on tax. Find out more about purchasing a Property with your super here.
Age is not a major factor in the decision process. Starting an SMSF may be equally appropriate for a 30-year-old executive as a 65-year-old retiree.
According to independent researcher Investment Trends, one in every four Australians planning to start an SMSF in the 2014 financial year is under 35.
An even higher proportion plans to start an SMSF in the near future, with Gen Ys accounting for 46% of future SMSF investors.
When Investment Trends asked people under 44 why they chose an SMSF, 50% said it was because they wanted to control their own investments.
Apart from this, we would like to draw your attention to the Super fees that a Gen Y investor may save when he or she has 20 or 30 years ahead.
According to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, a 1% difference in fees today could mean a 20% difference in your super payout in 30 years.
An SMSF can be a great vehicle to take back control of your Super but an SMSF may not be right for everyone.
We have conveniently summarised other factors to consider when contemplating setting up an SMSF here.
We also assist you in understanding what is involved in the ongoing management of your SMSF via our Free SMSF Learning Centre here.

Jim Johnston
President OOIDA
I am writing this editorial just a few days after the tragic accident involving the space shuttle Columbia. Seven brave astronauts lost their lives in that tragedy, sending the entire nation into a state of mourning at their loss.
The initial reaction watching the tragic events unfold on television was, for most of us, shock and disbelief that something that seemed to have become so routine could so suddenly turn into such a terrible disaster. In contemplating the loss, however, it brought to mind another ongoing tragic situation that professional truckers face every day.
Truck driving has been classified by the Department of Labor as one of the most dangerous occupations in the country. The most recent fatal accident reporting system figures available indicate a highway accident fatality rate of almost 700 truckers a year. That's an average of two every day of the year, and these figures don't include other job-related accident and illness fatalities.
Of course, there will be a complete investigation into the cause of the Columbia disaster. Future launches will be put on hold until the cause is clearly identified. When the cause is identified, the problems will be corrected, and, while still a very dangerous job, it is very unlikely that future astronauts will lose their lives due to any similar type problem.
Few in the general population would consider it reasonable to compare professional truckers to space shuttle astronauts. I have no difficulty making the comparison though, because the dedication and commitment involved in becoming a true professional in any endeavor is really very similar. The contribution of professional truckers toward maintaining and supporting the national economy and the daily lives of all citizens is far greater and more consistent than any contribution made so far or in the foreseeable future by the space program. In fact, without trucks and the dedicated professionals who operate them, there would be no space program.
Unfortunately, the similarities end when it comes to identifying and correcting the problems that claim the lives of hundreds of truckers every year. There are no national days of mourning for the loss of these dedicated, hardworking professionals. While there are government-sponsored studies to investigate the cause of truck accidents, those studies never seem to get to the root causes of the problems. Most only skim the surface deep enough to point the finger of blame at truckers themselves.
A good example is the issue of driver fatigue. When the studies indicate driver fatigue is a serious safety problem, the easy way out is another quick surface study that determines fatigue is caused by too many working hours and too little sleep (people actually do get paid to do these studies). If this is as far as you delve into the problem, and the goal is to find the course of least resistance, upsetting as few powerful interest groups as possible, then the solution is simple — tighten the restrictions on working and driving time, increase the penalties and strengthen enforcement efforts.
The reality is this will never correct the problem. It simply increases the pressure on the people already victimized by the system that caused the problem in the first place. A serious effort to address the problem and implement workable solutions must begin by clearly identifying its root cause. This cause is no secret to professional truckers, but the methods you use, either voluntarily or under pressure, to offset the effects of this root cause provide substantial help to those who have an economic interest in avoiding its detection.
The root cause of the problem, of course, is the combination of inadequate compensation levels based on per load or mileage coupled with an outrageous system of unnecessary and uncompensated delays — delays that on average force professional truckers to contribute almost as many hours per week in uncompensated time as most people invest in an entire workweek in compensated time.
As I have said before, this system has become so ingrained that the economics of almost the entire industry have become dependent on your willingness to donate your time then doctor the logbooks, risking your safety, your lives and your careers to put in the additional hours necessary to earn a living.
This problem will not fix itself. In fact with the added burden of increasing highway congestion and without action, it will continue to grow.
The government will not be stepping forward on its own initiative to fix this problem for us. In fact, if past experience is any indication, the revised hours-of-service regulations currently pending and soon to be released at DOT will likely increase the burden on truckers, putting you further at risk and making it more difficult to earn a living.
The industry, shippers, receivers and motor carriers won't fix the problem. Why should they? It's free time that doesn't cost them anything.
You have the power, and the solution is up to you. It's not complicated. The solution is very simple and requires very little if any sacrifice. Just log it legal, and the problem will very quickly disappear.
Of course, it's not quite that simple. To be successful, we must convince all or at least a majority of drivers to participate in a unified effort. June 2003 has been designated as Truck Safety Month. The OOIDA board of directors has voted to endorse and sponsor the project. They have authorized the use of all available association resources to help make it successful. The rest is up to you!
Relating back to the space shuttle accident again and the memorial services that were held for the seven who lost their lives in the tragedy, one striking theme was repeated in the words of many of their friends and family members. Basically it was that they loved and were dedicated to what they were doing. They would not want their deaths to stop the project. They would want others to learn from it and use that knowledge to make the necessary improvements and continue moving forward.
Most of you are dedicated to what you do as well. When outsiders ask me why truckers stay in such a difficult, thankless job, my response is "for those who are dedicated to it, it is not a job; it is a way of life, and they love what they are doing." It comes down to one simple, basic question: Are you dedicated enough to take a stand to make it better?
You have the power. Use it, and the world changes. Waste the opportunity, and everything remains the same.
June 2003!

Patric: Rio Caribe Superior 70% Cacao
That pungent cheese-filled chocolate bar I discussed on Tuesday scared me away from complex chocolate creations for a while. I needed the pure stuff. Just plain, high-quality chocolate. I sought this comfort in the Patric Rio Caribe Superior 70% cacao bar, made with cacao from the Paria Peninsula in Venezuela.
This cleanly molded bar has a subtle coffee aroma and a quick melt.
The melt quickly reveals a bitter, coffee-centric flavor, with just a tiny bit of sugar. Though I enjoyed the creamy melt, which is rare but wonderful in a dark chocolate, I found it to be just a tad bitter for my tastes. It was evident that this bar was made from well-handled cacao, so I will have to try another Patric bar to find a flavor profile that I enjoy more.

Where did you buy this? Patric changed his packaging forever ago, so I'd imagine this bar is well over a year old (maybe closer to two). I prefer Rogue's Rio Caribe to Patric's, but love Patric's 75% madagascar.ReplyDelete
Wow I don't know why but the amusement of the P logo on the bar has got me laughing. Hope you find a bar you can enjoy more :)ReplyDelete
Ooh, you had my complete attention at "subtle coffee aroma and a quick melt", but it's too bad it was a little too bitter. Still sounds pretty tasty...I hope you can find another flavor that you find better!ReplyDelete
I was going to say that the new labels appeal to me much more - these old ones don't draw me to the chocolate at all. They are so boring and same-as-so-many-others-ish.ReplyDelete
Mmm, Rogue Rio Caribe.

"Surveillance video helped Stamford police track down a man they say sexually assaulted a woman in an elevator recently," wtnh.com reports. "A self-defense expert says about 30-percent of his students turned to him for lessons after they were victimized. Renshi Herbie Bagwell of Bagwell Academy in Milford [CT] says there are a few simple, easy tactics to keep in mind when you're walking to or from your car, or an elevator in a parking garage or a building. He says one of the most important tools you should be armed with is a pen." That's pistol. Armed with a pistol. A simple typo, surely. Oh wait. Connecticut. The Constitution State. Tactical pen (with built-in DNA catch crown) it is, then. Got one? [h/t Pascal]
You don't want one of those evil black tactical pens (it will be used against you with claims you were looking for an excuse to use it on someone)- You want one of these:
Pink with little hearts on it
Knives are great too. At work, I can't carry a gun, but knives are allowed. Therefore, I've always got a good one with me. I try to carry a knife at all times, as a back up/another option to my EDC gun, and as a useful tool.
I think that in the situation above, in an elevator, a knife would be a better choice for defense. Elevators are cramped quarters for sure…
The pen is mightier than the sword!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Filed under how one makes coin. After your attacked, I will show how to defend oneself WITHOUT the most cost effect tool designed by man. Training includes elective representives instruction on puking, wetting oneself, screaming and all important scratching to preserve DNA samples for the almost definitely, possible maybe the attacker DNA is in a database somewhere.
The methods taught in no way guarantee surviving an attack and we do not take responsibility for your sucess after the course. And considering your elected representatives failure to pass lawful self defense legislation, refunds are not offered.
Pokey/Jaby with a pen? No thanks!
I'll stick with Shooty and Stabby/Slicey as my force options. When the perp is leaking DNA, collection really shouldn't be an issue.
Haha. Maybe you should get some R.I.P 9mm rounds. Maybe thats what the trocar's are really good for, catching DNA!
It's easy to make fun of this, but it should also be remembered that most of us can't have a pistol ay every moment of the day. Going for traffic court? Probably can't bring your gat. Your kid's school play? No heater for you. In such instances, improvised weapons, like pens, flashlights, and the like are your friends, and should be trained with as you would your firearm. They're not the better option, but sometimes they're the only option.
Unless the school has metal detectors or pat downs, concealed is concealed. And my kid's life is worth just a little bit more than a "tactical" pen.
Anywhere a tactical pen is an option, this: http://unbreakableumbrella.com/unbreakable-umbrella-videos/ is probably also an option… and a better one in most cases.
Damn, that's some John Steed action on steroids.
Title 53 Crimes
Chapter 943 Offenses Against Public Peace and Safety
Sec. 53-206. Carrying of dangerous weapons prohibited. (a) Any person who carries upon his or her person any BB. gun, blackjack, metal or brass knuckles, or any dirk knife, or any switch knife, or any knife having an automatic spring release device by which a blade is released from the handle, having a blade of over one and one-half inches in length, or stiletto, or any knife the edged portion of the blade of which is four inches or more in length, any police baton or nightstick, or any martial arts weapon or electronic defense weapon, as defined in section 53a-3, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than three years or both. Whenever any person is found guilty of a violation of this section, any weapon or other instrument within the provisions of this section, found upon the body of such person, shall be forfeited to the municipality wherein such person was apprehended, notwithstanding any failure of the judgment of conviction to expressly impose such forfeiture.
"Tactical pen" is too close to kubaton is martial arts weapon.
I'm sure if a prosecutor wanted to he could argue your Bic is a martial arts weapon.
Gotta love legalese hellholes. Oops, I mean loopholes. Pissing or puking on your attacker is probably a biological attack in CT. Best to just lay there and think of Malloy or Blumenthal until it's over with.
How is it wielding a pen in self defense like some kind of f*cking ninja plausible, yet using a gun is not?
Oh, right, statist gotta state. I forgot.
That's the best question I have seen posed in quite a while.
Frankly, the vomiting on yourself idea seems more doable…
Nah, shoot him in the nads with something in .45 cal, it'll stop the attack and kill his soul.
What? No wasp spray? Some expert.
Tactical black fountain pen.
Unfortunately, many martial arts people have probably never been in an actual street fight or hand-to-hand fight. Things don't go down as smoothly as they do in the dojo.
When most women get that close to a man, and they're not holding a lethal weapon, they've already lost most all advantages they might have had in a confrontation. When the situation goes hand-to-hand, the larger, stronger man now has most of the advantages.
This is why guns work. You don't need to smell what your attacker had for lunch to take care of business.
So true.
Funny story, to your point, when I was younger I ended up wrestling over a chair with a buddy of mine. It was friendly enough. Well, he had 25lbs on me and was an experienced wrestler.
He took me to my back and pinned my shoulders, as a wrestler might do. This exposed his neck for a guillotine choke, which I performed.
He yelled, "I have you pinned!"
I replied, "So what?" And then proceeded to gator roll on this head and neck, which cause the wrestling match to end quickly. He was at my mercy.
Bottom line, too much training and not enough real deal could be your downfall.
Interesting point–Maybe it's just me, but I noticed in that hapkido-with-umbrella vids that a lot of those moves seem to rely on the attacker co-operating with the defender.
Tactical pen? Na… I think I'll hold out for the 'tactical typewriter'.
And it just gets worse… Lets glorify being a victim
That would have been awesome if the very last picture showed a woman holding up a Desert Eagle or .500 S&W.
Maybe they could do another one and call it, 'What heterosexual women carry for protection.'
In picture #6 miss love and rose knuckles might have a problem with the law if she
get's caught with them. *Some states out law the possession brass-knuckles.
*Check your state and local law's.
"…*Some states out law the possession of brass-knuckles…"
I see that the female reporter in the video have armed herself with finger fitted knuckledusters. The responsible husband would have bought her a ring with a larger, and edgier, diamond. /joke
Hey, go with the Uzi Tactical Pen! It has a hidden handcuff key so you can escape after the CT cops arrest you for "creating a hostile work environment" for that poor mugger/rapist. Warning: you could put someone's eye out!
I actually do have a "tactical" pen, but it's pretty far down on the list of things in my pocket I'd use as a weapon. I'd probably grab my keys first.
I'd gotten tired of plastic pens breaking or melting in forest fires and prescribed burns, I was looking for a souvenir after my visit to the NRA museum, there was a display of S&W pens by the register, solved two problems at once.
I'm pretty sure Assault/Attack oens are lllegal. /sarc
Why is that horrid woman attacking that fellow?
This comment wins for today haha. This gave me a good chuckle.
I don't want to get into a scrum with a BG and stab him with a pen. Besides, an Airweight is a better contact weapon.
Well of course a pen is great…I saw John Cusack kill his buddy Benny Urquidez(?) in Grosse Point Blank with one!
A bullet to the gut or lower would do more than a pen would.
It never hurts to know how to use improvised weapons in case you're caught unawares. But improvised weapons should be your last resort.
After your sidearm runs dry.
Isn't this in the same spirit as our solution? When we suggest self defense, it gets dismissed as "victim blaming."
Anything that can be used as a weapon is better than nothing, it seems like this pen would only piss off the guy and ensure that you would only get hurt more, or killed. Then again he may kill you anyhow, so Im not saying you should'nt fight, but if/when you strike back it needs to be a significant enough counter assault that will at the very least allow you time to escape if you cannot render him incapacitated. From a womans standpoint, you have nails, attack the eyes, or there is this; it only takes 8 lbs of pressure to rip the average humans ear OFF, so using violence of action and a little surprise, get ahold of an ear and savagely rip that bastard off.. id imagine that would gain you enough time to either flee, or further your counter attack if need be. Im no expert, but it seems like a good last ditch attempt in some cases

Two Men Arrested Following a Shots Fired Call
VICTORVILLE-(VVNG.com): At approximately 1:45 A.M., on Tuesday, June 16th a woman made a 911 call to report that her vehicle was being shot at by someone in another vehicle. The woman reported being at the AMPM located on the 16800 block of D street.
The woman fled the scene traveling southbound on 7th street with two vehicles chasing her. Deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, Victorville Station responded to the call.
Upon making contact with the victim they determined that there was an ongoing dispute between the victim and suspects.
One of the suspect vehicles rammed the victim's vehicle during the time they were following her.
"She reported that she saw what she thought was a shotgun and heard what she thought what was a gunshot," said San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Spokesman, Sgt Brett Zour.
The suspects, identified as Samuel Piro, 52, and Andrew Patterson, 51, were located and booked into the High Desert Detention Center in Adelanto for Assault with a deadly weapon.

Various Shrink Wrap Services
In case you've got an outdoor item which you would like protected in the weather subsequently shrink wrap services would be the best way to go. Automobiles, boats, machines, regardless of what the product, shrink wrapping provide protection against harm from wind along with the other components.
These solutions Can Be Found in several areas and supply wrapping services which include:
•Toilet vents
•Temporary structures (Greenhouses)
An excellent shrink packaging film service can present a custom constructed cover for practically anything. A whole construction could be wrapped to protect it while repairs have been created. This type of service may be employed to pay a pool, temporarily mend a broken window or perhaps prevent a leaky roof.
For the committed boater, packaging the ship with the film is essential. Water will seep its way to the most minute of cracks and throughout winter continuously expanding and contracting in the chilly weather will cause irreparable damage to your ship.
A shrink wrap cover may stop that harm since it is water-tight. An entire cover will help keep your boat secure even through the worst weather letting you rest easy that come spring your vessel will probably be seaworthy and prepared.
The automobile enthusiast will enjoy packaging services too. The air-tight seal can help prevent rust and draining, maintaining your car as shiny and bright as it had been once the cover was implemented.
These types of services do not simply sell a pay for those things which you appreciate, they also provide reassurance available for sale. Knowing your boat/car is shielded is a burden off the brain. Tarps and yarn covers aren't water tight and though easily available aren't worth the ultimate cost in property damage.

Image classification with Deep Learning
The Paris-Saclay Center for Data Science started to offer hands-on trainings for scientists who are interested in data science. The event format follows the RAMP (Rapid Analytics and Model Prototyping) approach. It consists in solving a scientific problem on real-data in one day using (and possibly learning) a given technology. The 5th event was hosted by Proto204 on October 8, and dedicated to the use of deep learning techniques for image classification.
As you can imagine, Heuritech could not miss the event ! Hence, we (Hedi and Florian) accepted the challenge. This note gives a brief insight of our contribution.
The Challenge
This time, the goal was to classify images of pollenating insects from the SPIPOLL (Suivi Photographique des Insectes POLLinisateurs). It is a crowdsourcing project lead by the Paris Museum of Natural History (MNHN). For this task, we were encouraged to use deep learning techniques. To speed up the process, we were able to use GPUs gracefully provided by the Université de Champagne-Ardenne ROMEO HPC Center and NVIDIA.
The sampled dataset consisted of 20348 labeled pictures of insects from 18 different species. Each picture was a 64×64 colored image. Note that the real dataset comes with more pictures, bigger images and also some extra informations (e.g. the place and the time where the picture was taken). However, for the purpose of the exercise we restricted ourselves to small pictures (as below), slightly blurred by the downsizing process.
A descriptive analysis of the dataset, kindly provided by the organizer's team, revealed an important class imbalance. Hence, around ~28% of the dataset represents a single specie « L'Abeille mellifère » while on the opposite « Les Araignées crabes sombres » only represents ~1% of it. The color intensity of pixels was also not homogenous.
Following the RAMP approach, each participant was invited to contribute with different models, potentially updating models proposed by others, in some kind of beneficial incremental process. Eventually, all fast prototyped models were combined into a single hybrid model to reach an overall higher score. Unfortunately, we do not have any information on how the different models were mixed together to form this hybrid model.
The different models submitted during the day were evaluated on two criteria:
- prediction score : how well the model was able to predict labels on an unknown test set (percentage of correct classification). A classifier that would always predict « L'abeille mellifère » would have a score of ~0.3 on this test test, providing us with some baseline.
- contributivity : how much the model contributed to the prediction capacities of the global hybrid model ? (a percentage of contribution).
For a better distinction between prediction scores and contributivities, we use 0.x notation for the former and percentages for the latter.
The results
The initial models (provided mainly by the organizers as a basis on which to iterate) reached a score of 0.31 (i.e. correctly classifying 31% of the pictures of the test set). At the end of the day, the best model reached a score of 0.71. Interestingly, its contribution is only of 30%, that is, some other models having a different approach, while reaching a lower score (0.68, 0.66, 0.65) significantly contribute to the hybrid model (15%, 17%, 10% respectively).
While the prediction score is independent of other models, the contributivity of a model varies with the addition of new models. For example, the second best model reaches a score of 0.68 and, while it started with a contributivity of 37%, its current contributivy is now of 2%. The reason is that the best model is a slight improvement of the former, which makes the previous version kind of « useless » for the hybrid model. In the remaining of this post, we therefore mainly focus on the prediction score.
Our contribution
Without further ado, let us discuss our most successful model. Did I forget to mention that the best model is actually ours ? 🙂 Note that, following the RAMP approach, this model is the result of a succession of small improvements made on top of other participants' contributions. We did not reach a prediction score of 0.71 in one shot, but after applying several tricks and manually tuning some parameters.
The model is available on github: https://github.com/deleron/pollenating_insects_ramp.
Following a classical approach in image processing with deep learning, we use a deep neural network composed of a succession of convolutional and max-pooling layers, followed by several dense layers (cf. diagram below). Its architecture is mainly inspired by the model of another participant (Yousra B) with a prediction score of 0.65.
The previous version of the model without dropout layers reached a prediction score of 0.68, but had a tendency to overfit. Hence, a first regularization is achieved using dropout after the first dense layer. By lack of time, we did not try multiple dropout layers, nor different dropout parameters. More time would definitely have allowed us to reach a better prediction score. Note that older models used too much dropout layers and were definitely underfitting (i.e. reaching a prediction score on the train set equals to those of the test set). Hence, tuning is the key.
The weights of the network are optimized using mini-batch AdaGrad optimization method, with a mini-batch size of 128. Taking inspiration in the work of others, prior to feeding mini-batches to the network, some pictures in the mini-batch are randomly flipped (with a probability of 0.25). This is a classical trick to force the network to be invariant to such transformations. A second trick is to randomly shut down half of the pixels of the picture, forbidding the network always to rely on the same pixels.
As the number of pictures of the training set is not that big, a trick consists in augmenting the size of the dataset by applying several transformations (translation, rotations, flips, stretching,…) to pictures of the original dataset. An exploratory analysis of the data showed us that insects, while always in the center of pictures, could be in all kind of positions in the pictures. Hence, before training, the size of the dataset is quadrupled by having each image rotated by 0°, 30°, 90, 135°. It makes our model more robust to rotations but also considerably slows training.
One of the first submitted model to reach an interesting score mainly consisted in applying the reference model provided by the organizers on pre-processed data. It was noted that as the insects were always centered, cropping the pictures could actually improve performance. We would like to interpret it as if it allowed the network to focus on the insects rather than the surrounding. While an interesting idea, the surrounding might actually be of some importance. In our last model, rather than cropping the pictures, we preprocess the data by applying a gaussian window on the images, flattening the intensity of border pixels, making them less salients (but still usable) than those in the center. It might actually be possible to learn an even smarter window (not necessarily gaussian) by having some extra full convolution layer in the model just after input.
To sum up, our model is a mix of state-of-the art techniques, data-scientist and domain-specific tricks. More time would definitely have allowed us to improve its performance, but that was not part of the deal 🙂 For those interested in pursuing the challenge, here are some suggestions for improvements: meta-parameters optimization, multi-modalities, plugging a pretrained network (such as VGG or GoogleNet) on top of the current architecture…
To conclude, we thanks the organizers for such a thrilling event. This was a really nice opportunity to show the interest and power of applying deep learning to all kind of interesting problems and domains. It is certain that with a bit more time, taking into account our suggestions, and by using the real sized pictures in addition to the other data of the dataset, one may achieve a pretty good prediction score. We hope that our contribution will help the people of MNHN to achieve interesting research.

Counter Terrorism Today and Etai Handman interview Dr. Ely Karmon on Syria: Local, Regional, Global Battlefield
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was established soon after the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1980 and was composed of the same groups that led the revolution. There were two central reasons for the establishment of the IRGC. First, it was designed to defend the achievements of the Islamic revolution and the new Islamic Republic. The IRGC was supposed to serve as an operational and political counterweight to the Iranian army ("artesh" in Fasi). The latter was clearly identified with the Shah regime. The second mission of the IRGC was to shoulder the burden of the military effort of the Iran-Iraq war.
An article by Valentina Cominetti
In 2016, the IS in West Africa split from Boko Haram. As a result, two main jihadist groups were formed in the Nigerian arena: Boko Haram, led by Abubakar Shekau, and the IS in West Africa, led by Abu Musab al-Barnawi.
From a broad perspective, the battle between Al-Qaeda and the IS as a battle for the hearts and minds of Boko Haram members.
Over several decades Baluchi groups have fought Iran's Islamic regime—as well as the neighboring Pakistani government—for greater autonomy or independence. Most militant groups in Baluchistan are based on tribal connections. These tribes have tribal patterns of authority and obligation and a tradition of helping and harboring members of allied tribes and many tribes in Pakistani Baluchistan support their oppressed brothers in Iran.

Albion left to stare down barrel after salvo by Fulham
Fulham 3 West Bromwich Albion 0
WEST BROMWICH Albion are clinging to life in the Barclaycard Premiership, but their grip grows more precarious by the match. A point against Fulham at Loftus Road appeared to be a fair reward for their resilience last night until they imploded midway through the second half. Conceding three goals in four minutes undid all their good work and a swift return to the Nationwide League beckons.
For Fulham, without their own home and probably without a manager come the end of the season, victory offered a welcome respite. They moved up to fourteenth place, 12 points clear of the relegation zone, and can possibly heave a sigh of relief. Unless they collapse as dramatically as West Bromwich did, their status would seem to be assured…

Author Notes: Inspired by the steamed pork and dill buns my Aunt Anita got us last month from Chinatown. They were very delicious! The bun recipe is adapted from Pork-Belly Buns, Gourmet, October 2007. Things you should know going in: don't forget to cut out your parchment squares ahead of time; basically, you're making bread, so you'll be tied up for HOURS…do some yoga, or watch your dvr'd episodes of Smash, or Community, or YouTube videos of Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon doing their History of Rap.
I tested two cooking methods for these buns; steaming and baking. Steaming took first place among everyone in the household. The steamed buns were ethereally supple pillows of deliciousness, whereas the baked buns were equally good; less pillowy, with a more bread-like crust. If you choose to bake, bake the buns pinch-side down for about 20 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven. —mrslarkin
Makes: 16 buns
For the dough
cup warm milk
cup warm water
tablespoons leaf lard or shortening
teaspoon active dry yeast
tablespoon granulated sugar, plus 1/4 teaspoon
3 1/2
cups all-purpose flour
teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2
teaspoons baking powder
vegetable oil, to grease bowl
For the filling
pound Italian bulk sausage, or equal amount of sausage links, meat removed from casing
cups chopped fennel, including fronds and green stalks
large garlic clove, minced
teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly crushed
large whole egg, beaten
cup cold chicken stock
teaspoon cornstarch or flour
tablespoon heavy cream (optional)
- FOR THE DOUGH: Dissolve the yeast and ¼ teaspoon sugar in the warm milk. Add the water.
- Combine the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt in a large bowl. Mix in the lard or shortening with your fingertips. Stir in the yeast mixture with a fork until the dough comes together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead for a few minutes. Grease the sides of the bowl with vegetable oil. Return dough to greased bowl and coat the dough evenly in oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, top it with a dish towel, and SET THE BOWL IN A WARM SPOT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. The dough should double in bulk.
- Deflate the dough and transfer to a floured work surface. Press lightly into a circle shape. SPRINKLE THE BAKING POWDER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DOUGH, and fold the sides over to completely seal in the baking powder. Knead several times to thoroughly incorporate the baking powder. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and LET RISE FOR ANOTHER ½ HOUR.
- While the dough is rising again, CUT OUT 16 PIECES OF PARCHMENT, ABOUT 3" X 3" EACH.
- MAKING THE FILLING AND BUNS: Sauté the sausage and fennel together, breaking up the sausage with the back of a spoon or spatula. Stir the sausage and fennel together, and continue cooking until the fennel is wilted and the sausage is cooked through. Stir in the garlic and fennel seeds. Increase heat a bit and continue cooking until sausage begins to brown. Transfer the sausage to a bowl and let cool. STIR IN THE EGG.
- Stir the cornstarch into the chicken stock until dissolved. Over medium heat, deglaze the pan with the stock, scraping up all the browned bits. Remove from heat and stir in the spoonful of cream, if using. Stir gravy into the pork.
- Weigh your dough and divide in half. Or just eyeball it. Roll each half into an 8" long log. Cut each log into 8 pieces. Mine were about 50 grams each. Roll each piece into a ball. Working with one piece of dough at a time, flatten each ball into a circle about ¼" thick. Spoon about a heaping tablespoon of filling onto the middle. Gather the edges up and pinch closed. You are sort of making pleats and then squeezing them together towards the middle-top of the bun to make a purse. Don't worry if they're not perfect. Mine never are, but they taste great. Plop each bun on a square of parchment paper, pinch-side up. Set on a sheet pan, covered loosely with a kitchen towel. Let buns rise while you PREPARE YOUR STEAMER BASKET or steaming implement of choice.
- This is how I do it: Set rice cooker up with about an inch of water. Place the steamer basket insert inside and turn on to heat the water. When steam begins to build, place buns in the basket, I do 4 at a time, as the buns do spread a bit. Close the top, and steam until buns are puffy, about 10 minutes. As buns are done, remove with tongs, place on a tray and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Alternatively, set up a bamboo steamer basket or collapsible stainless steel steamer basket over a small amount of boiling water in a pan with a lid. Continue as above.

DIY Sidewalk Paint
Keep your kids busy outdoors by whipping up a batch of homemade sidewalk paint. It's super simple to put together and provides endless amounts of creative play.
What You'll Need
Food Coloring
1. In a small bowl mix together equal parts cornstarch and water. Add a few drops of food coloring and mix until desired colored is achieved, adding more food coloring if needed.
2. Head outside and get painting!! We found that foam paintbrushes worked best and the most vivid colors to mix are blue and red. Washes off easily with water...or a good rainfall.

Seahawks Stand Out in Pro Bowl
The entire Seattle contingent to the NFL's all-star game contributed to a lopsided 62-35 NFC win.
Here are the stats for the Seahawks in this year's Pro Bowl:
RB Marshawn Lynch:
4 carries for 21 yards rushing, 1 TD.
RB Leon Washington:
4 kickoff returns for 167 yards, including one for 92 yards
S Earl Thomas:
1 interception
QB Russell Wilson:
8 of 10 passing, 98 yards, 3 TDs
Other than his outstanding play, two other things jumped out, both during Russell Wilson's post game interview with Doug Flutie:
1) He looked taller than Flutie
2) He still worked in "Go Hawks!" at the end of that nationally televised interview.

Once a week, I make a welding newsletter video web page about a topic like:
• how to get better at tig welding aluminum…
• or a product review of a welding table, welding machine, tool, etc.
The page will have at least 1 welding video and sometimes 2…along with some useful information and welding tips.
when I publish the web page , you will automatically receive an email with the link to the page.
That's it…Simple Huh?
No Spam, No Sales pitches, No endless offers…just one email a week.
Its extremely easy to unsubscribe at any time...a little too easy...
In fact, I get several emails every week asking me to re-subscribe because someone fat fingered their keyboard and accidentally hit the unsubscribe button.
I promise to always try to make the videos useful and educational, or at least entertaining.
To help you decide, here are a few past issues:
Amazing Blaze Heatin and Beatin

Here is Why You Should Purchase a BPA Free Water Bottle This AfternoonBPA free water bottles are vital to your well-being. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced that it will investigate bisphenol-A, or BPA, and has listed this substance as a chemical of concern because it has been revealed as being harmful. BPA is connected with cancer and other important health conditions in animals and humans. Some problems include permanent hormonal changes, heart disease, poor development of the female reproductive system including mammary tissues, reduced immune system response, alterations in fat tissues, presence in the thyroid tissue, and diabetes. The likelihood of mammary and prostrate cancers are also elevated. This is a significant issue with humans since much of our food is packaged in plastics containing BPA. Many epoxy resins and items we use every day are made with BPA plastics which permit BPA to seep into our bodies. For example, premature babies subjected to instruments created u
Toting Around Your Things at Conferences with Promotional Conference BagsConferences are great places to show off promotional items. In fact, many would consider them the best place to do so. That may be true, because, after all, conferences are where large groups of people who are interested in similar subjects come to not only learn, but mingle. Thus, it's a great place to promote a company, business, or product. An easy way of doing that is by sporting a promotional item of some kind. Promotional items come in many forms, such as pens, mugs, and folders, but there are few as stylishly devoted to promoting something as the conference bag. With a conference bag by your side, you can not only show off the name of whatever it is you're looking to promote, but you can also carry around whatever you need easily and comfortably. It's the best way to show off and have an easy time at any conference. Conference bags come in all shapes and sizes, so whichever type you're going to, you can design a conference bag or find a style that's already designed to

Many would say that you should always look out for your team if your part of one, but before that an athlete should always look out for himself as well.

At the same time keeping a healthy body will also help you become successful in your career.
