Hey Everyone! Have you read my post about me choosing a natural childbirth??
If you have: Awesome! If you haven't, go read it right now!!! It explains the benefits of going natural and the potential risks an epidural can pose for you and your baby!
If you are also planning a natural childbirth, you have come to the right place. I have put together a HUGE list of resources for all the information you need to prepare yourself for a natural birth.
First, have you considered hiring a Doula? In my natural childbirth guide I'll talk about the benefits of a Doula!
A Doula is basically your personal birthing coach who helps you get through even the hardest parts of labor naturally. They use words of encouragement and offer several pain relief methods to help you get through your delivery. Find more information on hiring a Doula here.
Childbirth Methods/ Education Courses
These are different birthing methods and techniques that offer medication fee pain relief. Each method usually consists of a series of classes starting around 7 months pregnant.
1. The Bradley Method
This method uses a partner-coach approach to birthing. It focuses on the birthing partner (often the father) coaching the mother through birth through the use of massage, encouragement, as well as other relaxation techniques. While they prepare for a medication free birth they also inform the mother about unexpected pregnancy complications such as Cesarean Section. They also focus on healthy lifestyle choices and exercise throughout pregnancy, relaxation techniques, postpartum care, breastfeeding, and conduct labor rehearsals.
2. The Alexander Technique
This method focuses on preparing the mother physically for birth by improving a mother's freedom of movement, balance, and flexibility. The technique is meant to improve comfort during delivery, help mothers push more effectively, and improve postpartum recovery.
3. Hypnobirthing
Also known as the Mogan Method, this method uses self-hypnosis techniques to relieve pain during labor and delivery. Mothers learn breathing, relaxation, visualization, and meditation methods to help ease labor pain and discomfort. They also focus on empowering women and eliminate the fear surrounding labor and delivery.
4. Lamaze
Is a widely popular prenatal education course that doesn't take a position on using pain medication during labor, but focuses on educating parents to be about all of their options during labor and delivery. The method teaches massage and relaxation techniques, breathing techniques, breastfeeding, healthy lifestyle choices, different birthing positions and effective communication.
Pain Management Techniques
1. Breathing Exercises
Focus on breathing out through contractions while keeping breathing rhythmic and calm. Check out the practice of Patterned Breathing for a very effective breathing technique during labor.
2. Movement
Rocking, swaying, or even walking can help ease labor pain by releasing Oxytocin into the body (the body's natural pain relieving hormone). Try to focus on relaxing muscles you are not using as the more relaxed you are the easier labor will be.
3. Massage
This study claims that labor massage can be a very effective pain management technique. Having your birthing partner massage or gently apply counter pressure to your lower back can be very effective in easing labor pain! (Especially if you are experiencing back labor) Check out this video for a great labor massage. Or check this out for more great massage techniques!
4. Hydrotherapy
Soaking in a warm bath or shower can be a great way to not only relax the birthing mother but also relieve pain. Try sitting in a warm jacuzzi with gentle jets aimed at your back. Don't have access to a Jacuzzi? Try taking a nice warm bath or sitting under a warm shower. Many hospitals and birthing centers have jacuzzi tubs for you to use. If birthing at home, it is possible to rent a tub as well!
5. Acupuncture or Acupressure
This method triggers the release of endorphins which are your body's natural pain blockers! For more information on this method check out this study or check out this article!
6. Reflexology
This method is very similar to acupressure but mainly focuses on pressure points in the feet!
7. Hypnosis
While this method doesn't exactly help with physical pain, it can deeply relax the birthing mother to the point where your mind is far removed from your body. Hypnobirthing is a popular birthing technique that uses hypnosis for pain relief.
8. TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)
This machine is placed on your lower back and sends low-volt electrical pulses to the nerves leading to the uterus. It is commonly used in parts of Europe and can be a very effective (medication free) way for mothers to ease labor pains.
9. Distraction
This method also doesn't exactly ease labor pain, but it can be a great way to take your mind off of the pain (at least in the early stages of labor). Read magazines, play a game with your partner, or watch a movie.
10. Positive Affirmations
By thinking positively and telling yourself that "YOU CAN DO IT!" you can get through even the worst labor pains! These Labor Affirmation Cards will be sure to encourage you throughout your labor and delivery!
Products/ Tools
1. Birthing Ball
A birthing ball can be used in a variety of ways during labor to help ease labor pains. You can use it to get into different positions that ease pain and can help move labor along! They usually come in a number of different sizes depending on the birthing mothers size. Check out this Baby Bump Birth Ball it comes in a number of different sizes and colors, is slip resistant, and burst proof and even has legs to provide extra stability.
2. Massage Oil:
Massage can be a great way of relieving labor pains. Try this Weleda Massage Oil which includes rosemary and lavender extracts for a relaxing scent. This massage oil also warms slightly when it is rubbed on the skin!
3. Rebozo Scarf
These are scarves commonly used by midwives and Doulas to ease labor pains in many different ways. They are commonly tied around the mothers hips to help with back pain.This Del Mex Mexican Rebozo is extra long and comes in a variety of colors and styles =) Also check out this book "The Easy Guide to Rebozo for Pregnancy and Birth" for more information on how to use your rebozo scarf during labor.
4. Miracle Ball
Elaine Petrone has developed a method of pain relief using small stress balls to ease back pains throughout pregnancy and labor, ease tension during labor, and provide overall pain relief using pressure points in the lower back. Her method also includes ways of using the Miracle balls to help lose weight after pregnancy! Check out The Miracle Ball Method
5. TENS Machine
Like I mentioned before, a TENS machine sends electronic pulses to the nerve pathways to your uterus and can be very effective in reducing labor pains! Many hospitals are now providing these for their patients but you can also choose to buy your own! Be sure to check with your insurance provider because a TENS machine could be covered by your insurance! Check out this TensCare MamaTENS Digital Maternity Machine or check out the Perfect mamaTENS
6. Heating Pad
A heating pad may reduce some pain and discomfort in the lower back (especially if you are having a back labor!) You can also make your own by sewing together a small sack and filling it with rice and some lavender!

Bio Taïro Reggae Français 2016
Taïro – Reggae Français.2016.Album.Complet – After making a name on the French ragga-dancehall scene, Taïro now hopes to make a name in the music Taïro – Reggae Français Album. Ishmael Jolé-Menebhi was born in Paris on 5 February 1978 of a Moroccan father and an Alsatian mother. It is still small when his parents separated. His mother, a sociology professor, the student alone in a small studio apartment in the tenth district. Taïro – Reggae Français Album Thirty years later, became Taïro, he dedicated his Mama title on her debut album. At that time, Ishmael saw a story without schooling until the age of 13. This is when the team of director Jacques Doillon organizes the cast of the film The young Verther. Ishmael landed the leading role. That same year, classmates, fans of reggae, take him to a concert of Hautepoul street in the nineteenth arrondissement, to the Youth Day. Taïro – Reggae Français Album As he listens to toasters that mark their texts to sound decibel spewed by their soundsystem, Taïro sees instinctively and artistically in their place. Upon its entry into second, he spends as much time in a rehearsal room of the neighborhood face his teachers. With his friends, he created a group called Youthmen Ten. Ishmael doubles, but the apprentice toaster is launched and must be an alias to exist. He chose Taïro in an English dictionary in which Tyro means "novice" or "beginner". The Watermelon Man CD, a splendid instrumental Herbie Hancock, he carries around in the evening with friends with a little amp and a microphone to sing about his first texts, is soon replaced with classic Jamaican purchased at Patate Records and Blue Moon. Taïro – Reggae Français Album did not choose reggae by accident. He feels close to this music that carries the word of those who do not have it, just as his father had done in activist with Moroccan students in 1968 when he was president of UNEM (National Union of Moroccans students). The text committed the title Animal whines born elsewhere at that time and now finds himself on his album, worn by arpeggios of an acoustic guitar, drawn from a sample of instrumental Assidon Raphael, Taïro a former classmate, with whom, among others, he mounted the H24 studio in Bastille. Adolescence always, it also inspired the title After co-writing and J.P. Mapaula compound with Yao Dembelé in a musical color much reggae song, to show other facets of vocal talents Taïro. Back in the mid 90s … Taïro and its collective stand out in their first Soundsystems. Even if the level does not yet approach that of Sai Sai or Raggasonics, the rooms are full, because the boys are very influenced by the style and the sounds produced in Jamaica at the time. Obtained his Bachelor, Taïro – Reggae Français Album, which sees Sizzla one voice and one of the most prolific authors of the genre, has also found its way and still include reference, in addition to Bob Marley. Reggae and dancehall Everton Blender, Beenie Man, Capleton and Anthony B, it will provide in the musical essence. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, Youthmen Ten separate and each pursues its course until an evening at the Divan du Monde change the fate of Taïro. In the famous Parisian room, a young man proposes to the manager. The opportunity for a professional future then emerges clearly in the mind of young toaster. Finished food jobs at Pizza Hut and teenager's room with her mother. Thanks to him, Taïro – Reggae Français Album recorded its first model of a half-dozen songs in the studio of Wise Poets of the Street. Passed through the office of a head of Virgin, she finds herself in the hands of Akhenaton, while the famous rapper Marseille IAM organizes the cast of the film's soundtrack Taxi 2, produced by Luc Besson. The film thus catches Taïro in 2000, when the young student became a real toaster, ready to swing his flow with more experienced artists like Daddy Nuttea and Faf Larage. If he realizes that he is still a 'tyro' neophyte, more rooted in the energy in the art, Taïro – Reggae Français Album the experience is daunting, especially as it renews the same year alongside Daddy Mory, Supa John, Baby G and Daddy Yod on compiling more heart = Sun, produced by Pierpoljak. The projects follow one after the other. Taïro multiplies featurings, either on albums by Gomez and Tavarez, Nakk, Nuttea or Assassin, before accompanying as Rockin 'Squat and his band toured around the world. That compilation combinations Boumsound and the soundtrack, recorded by Marco Prince (FFF), Jean Veber's film The Pharmacist, with Guillaume Depardieu and Vincent Perez, is still an opportunity for him to come forward, and recognize. The time to record an album has come for Taïro. A Song bookdesign, she wants the rapper Passi is keen to integrate its Ragga Dis time project by adding the featuring of Flya. Extract of this compilation was released in 2004, became a hit single. That is when the collective Tefa Kilomaitre, met on the recording of the album of Gomez and Tavarez, who will take it out of the conflict that opposed to its previous producers. After six months of negotiations, the bands are finally in the hands of its new producers. The long awaited album will finally see the light! Four tracks were recorded in stride, two bombs reggae Taïro – Reggae Français Album If I had not known this girl and I size with beautiful female vocals by Denise Sauron and Dominique Larose. Among other female voices, Sandra N'Kake will then be invited on the duo In this city, the latest title added to the album, while Mama, produced by Gary Chateaubon, alias Radja already causing the tube She wants in was one of the first. This element is important because as and as he advances in the writing of this album, Taïro will be applied to enhance the melodies of his songs to the point of changing his singing. More harmonious and sensitive, even sharing the universal title We try with rapper Kery James, it is tinged with soul, Taïro – Reggae Français Album like the cathartic piece I love you which opens the album. Composed with Gregory Yiannacou, a college friend never lost sight of this therapeutic song reflects her breakup with his ex-girlfriend. It represents the far end of a cycle than the beginning of another that can illustrate another love song like Never had, born of a decisive new female meeting that will set to music the guitarist Jérémie "Bim "Above and saxophonist Mathieu Bost, two excellent reggae musicians everywhere on the album, that Taïro find on stage on tour. Ishmael, the rebellious teenager has mellowed with time. Taïro – Reggae Français Album, the boy became a man, has done the same. It will make more errors and now love conscientiously, without half measures. He chose to open his heart to people to touch their souls. Ishmael and Taïro do today one. An artist tying to discover immediately.

During a year of change for Brussels with European Parliament elections and new leadership of NATO and the European institutions, YPFP Brussels is also experiencing a change in its own leadership.
Earlier this month the YPFP Brussels Board formally approved Katrina Murray and William Fox as the new executive leadership of the branch. William, previously Deputy Director of Communications and Marketing, becomes the Managing Director, and Katrina, previously Director of Membership, becomes the Executive Director.
In her day job, Katrina is a Policy Adviser in the Australian Mission to the EU, where she reports on EU foreign policy, security, development and the bilateral relationship with Luxembourg. William is the Digital Communications Manager at EuroCommerce, where he is responsible for the daily management of the association's communications channels and the development of speaking materials for its President. Both are joint British-Australian citizens who speak French and have lived in Brussels for several years, and are visible volunteers in the Brussels branch.
Two Australians at the helm
Since studying together seven years ago at the Australian National University in Canberra, Katrina and William were lucky enough that their respective career paths took them to Brussels. Katrina and William joined YPFP as volunteers together in 2012 and their long friendship has translated into joint leadership of the Brussels branch.
"It's great that Will and I go back seven years, and that I introduced him to Brussels" says Katrina. "But it's been really great working alongside each other in YPFP as colleagues – we're even finishing each other's sentences now."
"Being British-Australians, we both have our own stories and histories with Europe, and knowing each other for so long really helps as we lead the branch together. The Australian concept of 'mateship' and helping each other out is something that we both believe is core to a strong team, and I hope to develop this as we continue to build and manage this amazing group of volunteers" adds William.
After joining the team in 2012, both have achieved a tremendous amount in their respective teams, helping the branch go from strength to strength. Whilst both are eager to start working together on the next steps for YPFP Brussels, they pay respect to the departing leadership team of David Henry Doyle and Bryony Taylor, who have made YPFP Brussels what it is today.
"It is a real testament to the outgoing leadership team for where we are today – not just the success of the branch, but myself personally as I move into this role," commented William, who will now be responsible for the internal staff management and day-to-day organization of the branch. "From the staff trainings and development opportunities to the team socials, I have really benefited from being a volunteer, and I can't wait to take it forward in this leadership position and make it even better."
Inspired for the future
Another staff member, Noora Lampinen, is also being welcomed on to the Brussels Board, who becomes Membership Director. All three new leaders, along with three other members of senior staff recently visited the US to visit their counterparts in Washington DC and New York. It was used as an opportunity to discuss not only transatlantic relations but also to exchange views of good leadership and ways to develop our teams of volunteers.
With changes in the team and the addition of new staff volunteers, the trip has inspired both William and Trina in thinking about the future of the branch. Going forward, the team has a weekend in France which is the perfect opportunity for team-building and discussing new ideas for the branch, as well as a number of staff trainings organized to assist in developing the team.
"I'm so proud of what the YPFP Brussels team has accomplished in 2014. From securing over 100 seats at President Obama's address, to our inspiring US trip and the day-to-day of working alongside a team of 20 fellow young leaders, I'm really aware of the big shoes I'm stepping into" says Katrina."But ensuring ongoing added value for our members and partners is our core mission – and I can't wait to see what we can do for Brussels next!"

Second Irish bailout not required
Ireland will not need a second bailout, Germany's finance minister Wolfgang Schauble has declared.
After meeting his Irish counterpart Michael Noonan and public spending minister Brendan Howlin, Mr Schauble ruled out any need for another rescue package.
"I have every confidence that Ireland is on track," he said. Asked if a second bailout would be needed to cope with the country's banking debts, he insisted it was clear from recent EU and International Monetary Fund reports that it would not.
Mr Schauble said Ireland remains a "special case" in the eurozone. He also claimed there was a misunderstanding over reports that he was against any deal to help Ireland cope with its 64 billion euro banking debts. Others, outside Ireland, had unrealistic expectations of a deal on banking debts, he added.
"We know it's a very specific situation in Ireland, Ireland is a special case," he said. "The Eurogroup will continue to take this into account.
"On the other hand, we agree we have to avoid any announcement which could be misunderstood in a way that everyone in the world is thinking the actual programme for Ireland does not work well, because it works well, and that is the most important thing."
Mr Schauble met privately with Mr Noonan and Mr Howlin at Farmleigh in Dublin for 40 minutes, before department officials joined them. They also discussed Ireland's taking over the EU presidency next year as well as overall problems within the Eurogroup.
Mr Noonan said Germany and Ireland continued to enjoy a close relationship, and praised Mr Schauble in particular. "He has been helpful in advancing the Irish programme and been supportive of Ireland processing the programme successfully and our ambition to get back to the markets at sustainable interest rates," he added.
But Fianna Fail finance spokesman Michael McGrath said uncertainty remains over whether Ireland can strike a deal on its banking debts. He said: "We are none the wiser as to what Ireland's 'special case' status will mean when it comes to securing a deal on bank debt."
Mr McGrath said that, without such a deal or tangible economic growth, Mr Schauble's confidence could prove misguided.

My favourite of the show.
Entrance to the show.
A typical early Sigmar Polke
Turbine Hall
A separate exhibition in the Turbine Hall of Richart Tuttle's work with Fabric. Not impressed with this. Even with that amount of fabric there was so much more room for massive expression. Nothing compelling about it at all.

The 2013 season of High Line Art includes a variety of new commissions, including contemporary takes on urban monuments, the longest video ever made, and a fascinating installation of sculptures by artist Carol Bove, entitled Caterpillar, in the third and final section of the High Line at the Rail Yards.
Public walks kicked off in mid-May and will continue for a year, allowing visitors to view the fascinating sculptures of Caterpillar scattered amongst the self-seeded landscape of the High Line at the Rail Yards. This magical photo of one of Bove's pieces, Prudence, was captured by High Line Photographer Steven Severinghaus during an early evening walk after a thunderstorm, when the vegetation was at its greenest.
SEE MORE PHOTOS of Carol Bove's installation at the High Line at the Rail Yards.
If you would like to see Caterpillar, we will begin taking reservations for tickets on Tuesday, June 18, at 4:00 PM. Tickets will be available for walks taking place between Thursday, August 8, and Saturday, September 28.

Degrees and Certifications:
Early Grades Preparation PreK-3rd, West Chester University Elementary Education K-6, West Chester University Special Education K-12, West Chester University American Sign Language, Camden County College
Ms. Curry
I could not be more excited to continue my fourth year of teaching at Wedgwood Elementary School! Washington Township is the town in which I have grown up, and better yet, grown to love! In the past, I was an In-Class Support teacher for two years in third grade. Now, I get to continue another year of teaching an exciting and engaging program recently new to Wedgwood. I will be a Read 180 teacher for both 4th and 5th graders, and this year I will be introducting System 44 to some of our 4th graders.
I strive to volunteer my time and give to others through numerous service experiences, such as Boy Scouts of America, Susan G. Komen, and Habitat for Humanity. I have a passion for dogs, which has resulted in rescuing a German Shepherd and a Black Labrador from a local shelter. My extreme interest in learning American Sign Language has opened another door for me in education. I am studying ASL, which allows me to incorporate hands-on learning inside the classroom!
During the summer months, I had been a lifeguard for seven years but I now enjoy spending my hot days at the beach! Kayaking, white water rafting, and other adventurous trips always involve experiences that I can learn from and teach in every day lessons.
As the cold approaches, I spend a great deal of time snowboarding to get me through the cold winter months. I have learned that you can master any difficult experience, such as snowboarding, as long as you set your mind and goal in the right direction without quitting. Even when facing difficult obstacles, such as a broken leg from snowboarding, you should never let a bump in the road knock you off of your path!
Please feel free to contact me by email - email@example.com or by phone - x3735
I always look forward to an exciting and adventurous time together filled with smiles!
Your teacher,
Ms. Curry :)

Balewadi Complex, Pune
1st February, 2012 – 3:30 PM IST
Mumbai FC : Sanjiban Ghosh , Kingsley Chioma , Dhanachandran Singh , Nicholas Rodrigues , Abhishek Yadav , Cavin Lobo , Ebi Sukore , Malaswm Kima , Haroon Fakhruddin , Keegan Pereira , Ajamaludeen
Dempo SC : Subhashish Roy Chowdhary , Debabrata Roy , Climax Lawrence , Ranti Martins , Koko , Denzil , Anthony Pereira , Clifford Miranda , Sameer Naik , Jaquim Abranches , Rowilson Rodrigues , Mahesh Gawli
So Welcome to the live updates as Mumbai Football Club take on league leaders Dempo SC here at Balewadi Pune. Dempo can stamp authority on the league table if they collect all three points at stake here which will mean a lead by six points at the top clear of the chasing pack led by Kingfisher East Bengal.
0′ : Kick Off – Mumbai in their traditional yellow-blue start from right to left as Dempo are in their away colours – all whites
2′ : Back to back corners for Mumbai but both go in vain. Nicholas Rodrigues the taker as Sanjiban Ghosh shouts loud from behind to help his backline from distance
5′ : Oh and a wonderful lay off for Nicholas inside the Dempo D area. Lack of creativity shown by Rodrigues as he shoots it over. Should have at-least forced a save from Subhashish Roy Chowdhary
9′ : Bit of confusion between Mahesh Gawli and Rowilson at the back.
11′ : That was nasty by ABhishek Yadav . Jumped on Koko's knee literally. Koko and co cam out shouting at the Mumbai FC skipper.
14′ : Good composure shown by Haroon there upfront for Mumbai. He turned and moved swiftly. Then passed it on to Nicholas on the overlap who crossed it in back for Haroon.
17′ : Two corners in the last few minutes for Dempo as they manage to get their act together. Meanwhile shouts of handball from the Mumbai bench as Denzil looked the culprit there. Ref Pratap Singh runs towards the Khalid Jamil to calm things down.
20′ : Cavin Lobo and MalaswmKima combining well in the midfield for the Mumbai side. On the other hand Sameer Naik looks for Climax Lawrence as the Goans surge forward.
21′ : PENALTY for Dempo as Clifford Miranda is brought down by Ajamaludheen
22′ : GOOAAL ! Ranti Martins coverts . Finally !!
Mumbai FC 0 – 1 Dempo SC
25′ : As we move on now Mumbai look very much keen top get the equalizer straight up.Kingsley Chioma is furious at the Ref. Dempo's Ranti Martins leaned on him to get a foul. ANd Ref Pratap Singh obliged with a whistle. Shocking one that. Whats up Ref ?
30′ : Mumbai FC 0 – 1 Dempo SC
32′ : Keegan Pereira now Ebi Sukore who passes it on to Cavin Lobo. Good build up play here by Mumbai. But they lack the killer pass in the final third.
35′ : Haroon Fakhruddin has troubled Sameer Naik and Rowilson on more than one occasion now. Dont be surprised if he gets past the Dempo defense and scores a solo goal. Meanwhile ABhishek Yadav has opted to play in defense to stop the Goan attack
39′ : Super flick there by Ebi Sukore. Mumbai are very much into this game
42′ : And Abhishek Yadav manages to earn a corner for Dempo as he headed back the ball without taking the keeper Sanjiban Ghosh into confidence
45′ : Clifford Miranda switches wings as Dempo continue playing strong football within a 4-4-2 format
45'+3 : Mumbai has been playing in a 4-5-1 format with sweeper Dhanachandra Singh and Abhishek Yadav as free for all defender. Wonder how MFC would hold a back line. Not a surprise though with zero off side catches ! Its half time here at Balewadi.
HALF TIME : Mumbai FC 0 – 1 Dempo SC
Mumbai have been playing well here at Balewadi. Haroon Fakhruddin has been their hope lone upfront. MFC are just three points off the relegation zone. Every point is precious for Mumbai. Dempo on the other hand should up their play as a solitary goal lead is never enough. A decisive six points gap is what Custodio Almeida would have asked of his boys and they look to be on course for sure. Second half to begin soon…
46′ : Good attempt there by Koko as he tried to go past three MFC defenders. The shot though was sadly not on target.
50′ : A weak bicycle kick by Ebi Sukore on Ajmal's long throw gets the sparse crowd here at Balewadi a bit excited !
53′ : Mumbai are looking ar more energetic than Dempo in this half.
55′ : Fantastic diving header attempt by Clifford Miranda off Koko's cross goes vain.
57′ : Ranti Martins missed a sitter there. What a waste. Mahesh Gawli shouts hard and loud in disbelief !
60′ : The Goan trio of CLifford , Mahesh and Sameer have great intercommunication skills which also showcases on the field off and on the ball.
63′ : Khalid Jamil can be heard shouting on Cavin Lobo to come in the field of play rather than moving out deep. The game has now turned out into a complete midfield battle as both teams are cancelling each other out in the middle.
67′ : Koko gives a near perfect through pass to Ranti who runs slightly wide. Mumbai's Abhishey Yadav has been clearing the ball high and wide on N number of occasions now. Some sort of strategy huh?
70′ : MFC 0 – 1 Dempo : Harroooon and he hits it wide. Golden opportunity for the MFC lad
73′ : MFC SUB IN – Shahnawaz , OUT – MalaswmKima . Meanwhile YC for Cavin Lobo
75′ : Back to back attempts on goal by Denzil and Climax Lawrence. Both low shots , were on target . blocked by the Mumbai defenders. Ball is out for the corner though.
77′ : Dempo SUB IN – Joaquim Abranches , OUT – Clifford Miranda
79′ : MFC SUB IN – Dane Pereira , OUT – Cavin Lobo
81′ : Dempo look to have switched onto an attacking mode now. Mauricio Afonso is off the bench. Dempo's back four have looked solid uptill now. Can they hold off the counter attacks from Mumbai now
83′ : Dempo SUB IN – Peter Carvalho , OUT – Climax Lawrence
85′ : Nervous moments here for Dempo as Mumbai look to press hard with Dane and Ebi Sukore upfront. Haroon as been threatening throughout but Mahesh Gawli led defense have kept him at bay.
87′ : SUB MFC IN – Mauel D'Souza , OUT – Ajamaludheen
89′ : Back to back corners for Dempo as the Goans have managed to keep the ball in Mumbai's half for the last few minutes.
90′ + 1 : Abhishek Yadav has moved upfront as a striker now , looking for that header on Dhanachandra's long throw.
90′ + 4 : Lots of shouting going on from the Mumbai bench as they search for that equalizer. Whereas Dempo are showing amazing calm and swiftness in their play here in the dying minutes
90′ + 5′ : And that's a great run by Denzil beats the Mumbai defense and unselfishly passes onto Martins who scores . GOOAAAAL ! Thats GAME SET MATCH and probably CHAMPIONSHIP too for Dempo !?!!?!
Mumbai FC 0 – 2 Dempo SC
FULL TIME : Mumbai FC 0 – 2 Dempo SC
It's not been a great outing by Dempo though they secure all three points. That's the sign Champions have. And Dempo Sports Club sure have it in them to be I-League Champions for this season as they reach the 40 points mark in the league table , six points clear of second placed Kingfisher East Bengal.

Hey Internet Trolls: Shut UpJune 27, 2009
In the five months I've spent here on Bleacher Report, I've learned a lot—not only about writing and journalism, but what it takes besides talent with a pen and pencil/keyboard and computer to be a writer.
I've also gone through positive and negative experiences; however, both will play major roles in my dream of becoming a journalist.
In fact, you could say my time here has been so educational that it may even be more beneficial than going to school (although not falling asleep in math class would probably put public education above).
The positives? I've met some great people, friends, and mentors I hope to have alongside of me for life, including Blaine Spence, Andrew Nuschler, Leroy Watson, Stephen Meyer, Richard Marsh, Nick Carlo, Matt Miselis, DJ Rallo, Daniel Barber (Hotnuke), Dan Callagy, Hao Meng, Pete McKeown, Louie Ramos, Saraswathi Sirigina, Bryn Swartz, Cody Swartz, Paul Swaney, Robert Allred, Eric Annett, Tim Coughlin, Josh Bakan, and Josh Dhani (also like to give a special shoutout to Sulayman, who promoted me when I returned to Bleacher Report—props, dude.).
If I didn't mention you, don't worry, because I know that I have your support.
I've also become more mature in situations where I've been shot down or ridiculed because I erred in certain articles.
I've learned to keep my cool, but still assert myself as a confident, solid individual, whereas before I just came across as the immature 13-year-old who was trying to defend his pretty crappy work.
I've learned a lot about the art of commenting on an article, but you can read about all of that here.
And although encounters with the negatives that come along with being a part of B/R was a good challenge for me to face, it still bugged me. Ticked me off, if you know what I mean.
For example, what's the point of lingering around one's article waiting for a comment or a response from the writer to show up, solely to further insult or embarrass the writer by pointing out errors and taking notice to the accidental spelling and grammar mistakes they may have made?
Thus we come to a term. A term used not only for pessimistic critics on the Internet, but in this cruel world that we live in: trolls.
These trolls somehow find a perverted pleasure in watching others fail miserably due to mistakes that only a troll would pick up.
Actually, "pick up" is not the phrase I was looking for. Trolls actually look, and scour a piece, merely to shove one's inaccuracies or faults right back in their faces.
Trolls also love, love, to complain about certain omissions in the article. If a point or fact that may have further enhanced the piece is excluded, they jump right on it.
Personally, it's disgusting. In short, trolls enjoy having fun at someone else's expense.
So, we writers have to take a stand. Although it may sound funny to the people reading this, it's a time for change and progress in the Internet world.
Again, this may cause you to snicker, but it's in fact socially acceptable for trolls to be...well, trolls. On the computer, of course. And although we may find it annoying, we never got serious.
We shrugged it off.
We let it roll of our backs.
Well, no more. We found it perfectly normal to receive useless negative feedback on our articles. I say useless because it really has no core meaning to it.
Trolls just type in random insults (they may or may not have even read the article) and mock us for no real purpose. Just to do it.
But actually, in real life, this is considered a form of harassment. Harassment has the word "ass" in it, by the way, which is a trick I use to remember how to spell it (true story: my reading teacher told my class this year that we can remember how to spell harassment if we just remember that harassers are asses).
Do we take harassment in real life?
Shrug it off?
Let it roll of our backs?
No. We raise our fist in the air and declare this wrong. We stomp on the trolls we come across in our life. We don't let them destroy our career or dreams. And we certainly do not let them humiliate us.
It wouldn't be hard, either. In the history of the world, we've been delayed by obstacles. We've had our share of pickles (no, not the food). It's us against them. We've done this before, right? And in more severe circumstances, at that.
You see, trolls think they're tough and mean behind the computer screen. They think we fear them. They believe that they have the advantage, because they think that we're scared of them. But are we?
Well, let's just say I'd like to see the look on their faces when they see a mob of us in actual life, not just behind the glass that protects and shields them from life's consequences.
So, to start of this "movement," I'll say the first words in an attempt to bring the presence we have to the trolls' attention. Sort of like breaking glass at a Jewish wedding, but completely different. Sort of. Here goes:
To all Internet trolls: We are not afraid, nor scared of you. We won't live with your crude and unnecessary words.
We, instead, will build an Internet world where kind and pleasant gestures toward others in need of encouraging feedback will become an everyday thing.
And for those of you who still do not follow suit: shut up. Simply shut up.

Things will be a little flaky until I get the internet and stuff at my new place working. My home machine is/was the primary DNS server for DI and some other things. There is a second one out on the internet, but the first one has to fail before it will try the second. It should shake itself out as I'm going to put another one on the interwebs as son as I get my home machine fired back up to get the data off of it.
I've been unpacking for two days and it still looks like a damned storage locker.

Bobby Jones Golf Club is a 45 hole municipal facility named for the legendary Robert Tyre Jones, Jr., who personally dedicated the facility on Sunday, February 13, 1927.
The original 18 holes were designed in 1925 by the famed course architect Donald Ross. Nine additional holes were constructed in 1952 and another nine were added in 1967. The John H. Gillespie Executive Course was completed in 1977.
During its 80+ years, Bobby Jones courses have challenged such immortals as Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Gene Sarazen and even the "Babe", George Herman Ruth. In 1940 the longest playoff for a PGA event was held at both the Bobby Jones Course and nearby Sarabay C.C. when the PGA Seniors Championship tournament needed 36 playoff holes before Otto Hackbarth bested Jack Hutchinson 294 to 295. Past LPGA greats including Patty Berg, Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Louise Suggs made Bobby Jones a regular tour stop in the mid-1950's.
Visitors from around the globe have come to tee it up and walk these fairways steeped in golfing history. The current British Course record is 62, shared by PGA Pro Paul Azinger (1980) and Professional Golfer Domenico Geminiani (2017). Domenico Geminiani holds the Tournament course record of 62 set in February 2017 during the annual "Bobby Jones Open" .The current American Course record is 63 set in 2009 by Michigan native, Jim Cleaves, who set the mark at the age of 70. Maybe your next round will be the new record. Enjoy and good golfing.
Providing the best possible golfing conditions for the best possible price to residents and visitors of Sarasota has always been the goal of the management of Bobby Jones Golf Club, the most recent testimony supporting the success of this mission statement has been over fifteen first place awards as Best Public/Semi Private Golf Course from the annual Reader's Choice Survey conducted by Sarasota Herald Tribune. Bobby Jones has also been named a Finalist numerous times in Best of the Best by Sarasota Magazine.

If your Photoshop image includes vector data—such as shapes, type, and so on—you can choose to print the file using that vector data, rather than rasterizing the entire image. Why would you want to do this? Vector data prints at the resolution of the actual printer or other output device, regardless of the resolution of the Photoshop file. Raster data, on the other hand, is at the behest of the file's resolution as set in Photoshop's Image Size dialog box.
→ For a discussion of raster versus vector data, see "The Two Types of Computer Graphics," p. 156, in Chapter 6, "Pixels, Vectors, and Resolution."

Housing Services
Connecting people to permanent housing that suits their specific needs is the solution to ending homelessness.
Housing Services reduces the clients' barriers to obtaining appropriate housing and identifies those in need of immediate housing. If needed, the program helps individuals and families with rental fees, utility bills, and time-limited financial support to ensure their housing stability.
By partnering with local landlords and other non-profit housing providers in communities throughout Maricopa County, CASS is able to provide clients with an array of possible housing solutions. Often, our clients move on to stable and affordable rental housing or permanent supportive housing.
For some of our clients, permanent, supportive housing is their best option. CASS' housing affiliate, Arizona Housing, Inc. created affordable housing opportunities to help formerly homeless and low income individuals afford a place of their own. At each facility, residential coordinators serve as case managers ensuring that former clients continue to receive the support they need and stay on track in moving their lives forward.
Housing Services also provides housing placement for some of the County's most vulnerable homeless through the Rapid Rehousing Program. Eligibility for the Rapid Re-Housing Program is based on client barriers to housing which is determined through a specific assessment tool.
Priority populations include:
The assessment tool also identifies the most appropriate housing to fit the individual's or family's needs. Once the individual or family is accepted into the program, a housing stability case plan is developed. This plan identifies each of the steps required on the clients' journey toward obtaining stable housing (including payment of rental and utility arrearages) and program staff assist clients with housing search and placement, mediation, and legal services and credit repair (via referrals).

189 Juniperus confertaCommon Names: shore juniper, Japanese shore juniper, Blue Pacifica juniper Family: Cupressaceae (cypress Family)
Shore juniper is a dense, ground hugging conifer with aromatic gray green or blue green needlelike leaves about a half inch long and borne in fascicles of three. The needles are soft but sharp-tipped. Shore juniper gets only about 12-18 in (30.5-45.7 cm) tall, but can cover an area 10 ft (3.1 m) across. The female cones are spherical, about a 0.5 in (12.7 cm) in diameter, and silvery or bluish black with a waxy glaucus bloom. The whole plant has a soft, feathery look to it.
'Blue Pacifica', perhaps the most popular cultivar, has blue green needles and a very dense, spreading, compact habit. It is among the most heat tolerant and fastest growing. 'Compacta' is even shorter, less than a 1 ft (0.3 m) tall, and more compact. 'Silver Mist' is distinctively silvery. 'Emerald Sea' is among the most cold hardy; it has a looser, taller habit than the others, and is bright green.
Juniperus conferta is native to coastal areas on the north Japanese island of Sakhalin.
CultureLikes light, well drained soils and is salt tolerant. Shore junipers are great groundcovers for seaside plantings. Light: Full sun. Shore juniper will not be as dense if grown in partial shade. Moisture: Drought tolerant. Hardiness: USDA Zones 5 - 10. Propagation: By tip cuttings which root easily.
This is a great low maintenance evergreen ground cover and it's one of the fastest ground covers to get established. It thrives in alkaline to acidic soils. It is very drought tolerant. Shore juniper is very salt tolerant, and does well in dry, sandy soils, and is thus a good choice for seaside gardens and coastal communities. It is even used for dune stabilization. Let shore juniper cascade over a sea wall for a functional and beautiful effect. Shore juniper is perfect for container and rock gardens. The soft dense texture is especially nice along walkways, and makes a dramatic contrast in rock gardens.
It's especially attractive to mix and match juniper groundcovers in the landscape. Take advantage of the subtle differences in texture and hue among the many available cultivars and species of creeping junipers for a beautiful, artistic statement from "mere" groundcovers!

National's Train Wreck of Debt Gathers Momentum
National's Train Wreck of Debt Gathers Momentum
National's self-proclaimed 'Building Momentum' Budget is looking more like an out of control debt train wreck with the country's overseas net debt topping $200 billion by 2017 and the current account deficit topping $17 billion a year, the Green Party said today.
Both the Reserve Bank Governor and the IMF have signalled early warning signs of an economy that has not rebalanced successfully towards savings, investment, and export-led growth. Budget 2013 confirms that direction.
"Budget 2013 does nothing to address the fundamental imbalances emerging in our economy meaning this recovery will be neither jobs-rich nor sustainable," said Green Party Co-leader Dr Russel Norman.
"The National Government has failed to rebalance our economy as promised.
"Bill English made rebalancing the economy his primary goal in earlier budgets. In Budget 2013, he failed to mention it once.
"The current account deficit is the key economic measure of the success or failure of the broader economy. Treasury now forecasts the deficit to rise to 6.5 percent in 2017 making our deficit the second worst in the developed world.
"This is a debt time bomb that a return to Government surplus alone will not address."
Dr Norman highlighted emerging imbalances in the housing sector as the most dangerous for the economy.
"National's new housing policy is too little too late, and will serve the interests of property developers more than it will help first home buyers and those looking for a house to call home in Auckland," Dr Norman said.
"It comes long after the Greens have announced practical solutions, like Home for Life and a tax on capital gains (excluding the family home), to address an anticipated housing shortage and housing affordability crisis.
"National's on-going failure to institute a capital gains tax means they're still to close the single largest remaining loophole in our income tax system.
"Selling assets, massively increasing debt, a new housing bubble, and the earthquake rebuild might keep the train on the track until the election, but it will lead to major problems further down the track. It is an out of control train wreck of debt that future New Zealanders will one day have to pick up the bill for."

Simon Cowell has offered a sarcastic apology to One Direction for making them mega stars.
The British boyband, formed on Simon's TV talent show The X Factor in 2010, started their hiatus in January (16), and have quickly moved on to new projects. However most of the band, comprising Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan, no longer seem interested in their former mentor's help, and have branched out on their own with solo ventures.
"I hear so many things now, which they're doing, which I'm not involved with," Simon reportedly told British newspaper The Mirror at the final of America's Got Talent.
"It's a bit like I'm getting the hint you don't want me to come to the party. Sorry for making you famous…"
Since starting their break, Harry has embarked on a Hollywood career after being cast in Christopher Nolan's movie Dunkirk and Liam and Niall have signed solos record deals with Capitol and Universal respectively, both rival labels to Simon's Syco record company.
"Look, I'm not going to lie when I hear they're doing something, and they haven't approached me. You think, 'Well I would have liked you to,' but it's their choice. I'm not bitter - much," he added.
The 56-year-old music mogul has also recently spoken about Zayn Malik, who quit One Direction in March 2015, and his decision to create a One Direction-inspired TV show with producer Dick Wolf and Universal Television.
"Nothing surprises me anymore," Simon told Entertainment Tonight. "I think he should have come to me with it, if I'm being honest with you... I do actually believe that when they've got these ideas, bearing in mind where we started, they should actually come to me."
Zayn has a book in the pipeline as well, titled Zayn, due out in November.

"An entertaining yarn with family drama and intrigue aplenty." --Booklist
"A spirited heroine." —Publishers Weekly
"A return to the golden age of romantic suspense! 'A Rather Lovely Inheritance' weds old-style glamour to chick-lit flair. You just want to move into the novel yourself—on a long-term lease, with hero and snazzy sports car included!"-- Lauren Willig, author of "The Secret History of the Pink Carnation"
"A simpatico duo!" —Publishers Weekly
"Belmond's lilting sequel, ['A Rather Curious Engagement'] is fun, even if you don't have your own yacht!"— Publishers Weekly
"Belmond's second novel is bound to charm!"—Booklist
A Rather Lovely Inheritance
SUMMARY of the novel:
Penny knows perfectly well that she's not the kind of girl who falls into sudden good fortune. A historical researcher for a cable TV company that specializes in "sudsy bio-pics" of history's pluckiest heroines, Penny is a bit world-weary. Still, she can't quite give up her genuine love of history, especially the persistent hope that her own inglorious and hectic life might one day become as elegant as a 1930s movie.
But soon enough, the present century begins to have its own charms. There's that unexpected phone call from her loving-but-baffling parents, informing her that she is needed in London to attend the reading of her Great-Aunt Penelope's will.
In a posh London townhouse, Penny discovers that she must now put her professional research skills to work, to figure out the secrets of a pair of wills, double lives, buried histories and a family tree with more than one "vulture" in it.
Well, perhaps the sophisticated, enigmatic Englishman, Jeremy, may be just the right fellow to accompany her on the chase of a lifetime across Italy and France, in a vintage 1930s auto. But can they trust each other? And can the two of them stop bickering long enough to find out? Penny's adventures could either land her in clover—or in trouble with the gendarmes.

iPhone App Lose It! I say Use It!
3 comments:
Yep, I use this app, too. I think it's really easy to use and provides very handy info. :)ReplyDelete
Hi Jodi,ReplyDelete
Nice to see you here today. I know that Dick just loves his iPhone and using the applications. I think this application sounds really useful. Must save the user a lot of time.
On my Android phone I use a similar app called Calorie Counter, which syncs to the fatsecret.com website. It charts my weight, and keeps a diary of my exercise habits and what I've consumed. It's especially convenient that when I'm eating processed food (which I do more often than I should) I can just scan the barcode on the package and the app grabs the info!ReplyDelete

Social Spurs - Brad Q&A special
05 July 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
With July 4 celebrations taking place in the USA, Brad stopped by on the players' first day back at training to take fans' questions on Facebook.
The American goalkeeper had his say on everything from the most memorable moment in his career and his inspiration to which position he would have played if he wasn't in goal and the growth of the game across the pond.
Jack Kerr: What is the best goal you have ever conceded?
Brad: "No goal is ever good to concede! If I had to pick one it would be Alan Thompson against me in 1997/98 when I was at Liverpool at the Kop end. It was a left-footed strike up to my left-hand corner, it was unstoppable. It was, to this day, one of the most powerful strikes taken against me."
Ronnie Bird: If you could play in a different position, what would it be?
"Probably the holding midfield role so I didn't have to run too much but so that the play was always in front of me. Playing with my back to goal was never my thing!"
Darren Reid: What's your most memorable moment in football? And if you could have your career again would you change anything?
"Most memorable moment was probably the run in the 2002 World Cup when we made it to the quarter-finals. The four-year process of qualifying and then culminating in the quarter-final run was special. It was a very proud moment for all of us involved. No, I wouldn't change anything."
Ash Goodin: What's your inspiration?
"When I was younger it was the fear of not being able to play any more. Growing up I never had a professional league to look up to in the US so I had to fight tooth and nail. I was always living with the fear that if I didn't make it in Europe I wouldn't be able to play."
Misty Brown: What was the hardest part of learning to become a keeper, and what made it so difficult?
"The hardest part is actually very simple. Never think you're as good as people think you are and never think you're as bad as people think you are. Know in your own mind that you're going to make mistakes and you're going to have great games. Stay as even keeled as possible because if you go too high or too low with the emotions this game will bring you back down to earth very quickly."
Androulla Loizou: My 7-year-old son Roq would like to know who's your favourite goalkeeper?
"I'd probably have to say when I was growing up the two goalkeepers that were always on my TV screen were Ray Clemence or Jean-Marie Pfaff. Jean-Marie Pffaf and I are completely different goalkeepers. Ray was a lot more to my style so those two were a big influence on my career for different reasons."
Geoff Woodard: What would be your vocation of choice? Also, coming from a then footballing hinterland how did you manage to maintain your focus, belief and positivity?
"Architect. When I went to school I was a history and urban planning major. At UCLA they didn't have a four-year course in architecture so you needed to have a degree in something else to go into their post-grad programme.
"I never really thought about being a pro because there was no league. I didn't think about playing professionally until I went to university. Even though we were student athletes our coach was giving us the confidence that if we were good enough then we could be professionals. It was 1990 when I started to think that I could possibly do this. It was very difficult for the first years when you come over. There were many times when I thought my career would end before it started but it worked out in the end."
Rick Deans: My 7-year-old son oliver has improved this season as a goalkeeper but is hesitant at diving after hurting himself. What advice or encouragement would you give and has this happened to you?
"Diving will only hurt if you're doing it wrong. What I would suggest would be to go to some courses to learn how to dive correctly and then as you do the repetitions you will find out it doesn't hurt. If you dive incorrectly and you're landing on your rib cage or elbows and shoulders then you will injure yourself. Learn the techniques and then you'll find it doesn't hurt at all."
Rally Soong: What's the best position to stand when defending against an in-curving long shot? Say a right footer shooting from the left side of the field? I been coaching goalies in high school and this question always comes up....
"It's difficult to answer without seeing the situation. If you have a defender in the line then you can anticipate to go a little off centre because the defender will block it. Don't go too far from the centre of the goal but it would be easier to."
Brett Duce: How has game preparation for a goalkeeper changed between now and say, 15 years ago?
"Not too much. I think you get in a routine on your own. For me, it has changed a little because I used to have to go through certain routines to help me think that I'd play well. Now, warmups are about my body feeling good, seeing what the weather is like and getting a feel of the ball. The actual preparing for the game for a goalkeeper hasn't changed too much over the years."
Thomas Gillespie: How far has football in America come since you were starting out?
"Massive amount. I never had a pro league when I was growing whereas now there are 19 teams in the MLS with a few more on the way. The fans themselves are becoming more educated, the amount of people watching world events and the MLS are going up. We still have a long way to go. We have to produce better coaches at the grassroots level so we can educate more players at a younger age but it's all going in the right direction."
Jordan McKinney: What is your family tradition for celebrating in the Fourth of July?
"Normally I would be in America but today is the first day of pre-season so I'm here at the training centre! I would usually go back to Cleveland in Ohio there's a little fair in our town and we'd spend the morning and afternoon at the fair then go home and get the kids ready and go and watch the fireworks. It's all about the family and it's very festive."
Mallory Ross: Hi, Brad! Besides family and friends, what do you miss most from America? Good luck this season!
"The only thing I really miss is family and friends! Every country has so many great things to offer, you just have to open your eyes and realise it. I love the US but I also love living here in London. Family and friends is the only thing I really, truly miss."

Do you know what a torque wrench is? If you don't, it is a precision tool that is easy to use to measure the accurate amount of torque on a fastener, bolt or nut. All in all, a torque wrench is used in measuring the amount of force applied to fasteners in order to meet the specifications that the manufacturer has set. It also helps you to be efficient in loosening or tightening bolts, nuts and screws while avoiding too little or too much tightening.
Having a torque wrench is important because you are able to apply torque for clamping various parts together as you apply force to the bolts and nuts while setting up automobile parts. A torque wrench is also known to be a proper fastening tool used for safety measures and longevity of fasteners as they help tighten precisely parts to an exact specification.
Most of all, it does the job for you as all you need to do is to exert minimal human effort. The torque wrench is the one responsible for properly twisting fasteners for them to stay tight during rigorous operations. Fasteners that are poorly tightened or overly-tightened can cause premature failures and a proper torque tool is needed to avoid such accidents.
How to choose the best torque wrench
For the torque wrench's square drive, make sure its size matches the job you need to work on. There are different sizes of square drives available double check that you know exactly the size before buying any wrench. For the accuracy, most of the torque wrenches have around +/- five percent, meaning, a specific wrench must read within plus or minus five percent of the precise value of torque.
For instance, if you set the value 15 NM (Newton-meters) on the torque wrench, it must click continuously when the actual torque is between 14.7NM to 15.5 NM. Thus, you must also consider the accuracy that you need the torque wrench to perform.
The best torque wrench must also come with a storage case upon purchase. Most torque tools actually have their own storage case because it helps maintain the longevity and accuracy of the torque wrench, especially those of the precision tools. So, if you buy a torque wrench that does not have a storage case, you might as well buy your own.
But, in a nutshell, you are able to choose the best torque wrench by taking into consideration the price, product features, quality, ease of use and most of all, the durability. All of these are the important factors you need to remember in choosing the best torque wrench. If one is lacking, there is a big chance that you might just end up not using it.
What to look for in a good torque wrench
In looking for a good torque wrench, you must check the warranty. Good torque wrenches always have a manufacturer's warranty of at least one year. The accuracy must also be better than 5 percent. It is a good wrench if it comes with a certificate of calibration that states the date and accuracy.
But occasionally, you must also recalibrate it and maintain factory accuracy. You also need to check that the materials used are of metal construction, since they are generally more durable than the plastic ones used on cheaper torque wrenches.
It is important to consider the ratcheting too. If it is bi-directional, meaning, it can go both clockwise and counterclockwise, chances are, it will be a huge convenience for you. Most electronic and click type torque wrenches have this feature, while beam-types normally do not.
For the storage, a hard case is more recommendable than the soft one since the latter allows your torque wrench to get potentially knocked out of calibration and get more bang up. Hard cases can protect your tool more.
Most of all, a good torque wrench has a good scale visibility. Save yourself from stress and buy a product that is easy to read and set, whether it is a digital readout or mechanical twist handle setting. And for the grip, find the one that is easy to hold as a slippery torque wrench can be quite aggravating.
TEKTON 24335 1/2-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench, 10-150 ft.-lb.
A torque wrench is a tool used to apply a specific amount of torque onto a fastener such as nuts and bolts. If you have seen a socket wrench, that is also what a torque wrench looks like, only it has extra special internal mechanisms. So in buying a torque wrench, go the extra mile and buy the Tekton Half-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench!
- Loud and easily-felt click when reaching the preset
- Easy to read scale being high contrast and dual range, even in scarce light
- Ratchet head is reversible and can drive in either direction; measures the torque using clockwise direction
- No plastic parts that will break or wear out as everything is made of steel
The Tekton Half-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench has a calibration of +/-4 percent accuracy. It has a reversible ratcheting head and goes in both directions for easier tightening of fasteners. But, for measuring torque, it uses only the clockwise direction.
Just set the desired value of torque on the handle scale and there, you can begin tightening the fastener. You will also hear and feel a click once you reach the preset torque value so you know it is time to stop tightening.
Some reported to not have heard any click to know that they were done tightening. Thus, they ended up tightening until it snaped and became loose. Also, others were only able to get through a few bolts using this tool. After that, it did not function anymore.
Despite the disadvantages, the Tekton Half-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench is still recommended. This wrench will help you tighten fasteners with just the right amount of torque. You are able to secure parts properly without breaking them or making them loose. It is also very simple to use and you are sure that it will stay with you for a long time since it is durable, given that it is all metal and no plastic.

The Allen keys measure from three to six, eight and 10mm plus five mm longer Allen key.
Since the Venzo Bicycle Bike Torque Wrench does not have an audible click, you actually can't easily know that it is time to stop applying force. Thus, you end up tightening too little or too much. Contradictory to what is also said that it is sturdy, some already broke their wrenches after just a few uses.
They do not want to request for a replacement anymore because they still have to pay for the shipping fee. For them, it is better to use the money on buying a more reliable wrench.
The Venzo Bicycle Torque Wrench is still a product we recommend in spite of the negative comments.

The description tells you that four is its lowest torque,but in reality, many reports say that it is actually 10. So, for those who need a much lower torque value than 10, this torque wrench is not the one for you. Some users also complained that this does not make a click sound when tightened to the settings, since it could have been much easier that way to know if a torque value has already been reached.

A Bedford man who took a family hostage for hours last month at a Richland Hills home before escaping was in custody Wednesday in Texarkana, authorities said.
Police in Texarkana, Ark., and Texas arrested Eric Phllips, 36, Tuesday afternoon after getting a tip that he was staying at a Texarkana hotel. Officers tried to stop Phillips as he drove to a business.
"Phillips attempted to evade officers while striking several vehicles in the process, causing serious danger to the public and the officers attempting to arrest him," said Texarkana, Texas, police Sgt. Aaron Brower in a news release. "Officers fired shots into Phillips' vehicle."
The vehicle was disabled, but Phillips ran off. He was arrested after a brief chase.
He was in the Texarkana Jail on Wednesday.
The standoff in Richland Hills on May 20 began when Hurst police tried to pull over a suspected drunken driver on Texas 10 about 3 a.m. After the vehicle crashed, the driver ran to JJ's Fast Stop, 7457 Baker Blvd., police said. Then he ran to a house in the 7000 block of Bridges Avenue in Richland Hills, where he holed up.
A SWAT team was summoned and about 11:30 a.m., a man and woman who had been held captive walked out.
The suspect escaped taking a second man with him. That man was later released.
The suspect was later identified as Phillips and authorities learned that the vehicle he wrecked was stolen in Hurst.
Because of the standoff, classes were canceled for the day at nearby Richland Middle School.
Phillips faces charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault on a public servant, evading arrest and unlawful use of a motor vehicle in the Northeast Tarrant County cases, authorities said.
Texarkana charges are pending, Brower said.
