Understanding Fiberglass Vs Metal Classic Corvette Restoration
Understanding Fiberglass Vs Metal Classic Corvette Restoration - If you are interested by classic Corvette healing, you have two number one options for frame substances - fiberglass and metal. While almost all vehicles from the 1920s and 30s were made from metallic, classic Corvette restoration fans frequently choose newer fiberglass bodies.
|Understanding Fiberglass Vs Metal Classic Corvette Restoration
Bragging Rights
Although fiberglass our bodies are regularly more sensible, creditors generally view steel because the gold popular for traditional Corvettes. It has that actual look, feel, and heavy weight paying homage to pre-WWII American vehicles. Even steel reproductions of old Corvette bodies are seen as more real than the fiberglass fashions.
In almost every state of affairs, a fiberglass body goes to be less expensive than its metal counterpart. Counting the frame work and traditional car paint jobs frequently important with metal originals, restoring Corvettes with metal our bodies can cost over 10000 dollars more than with fiberglass.
The distinction in charge would not necessarily replicate a distinction in exceptional, but. Although fiberglass used to be visible as a cheap imitation cloth, agencies at the moment are making glass our bodies which appearance and sense almost exactly like the originals. This fee is the main purpose for the giant use of fiberglass most of the traditional Corvette community.
The availability of fiberglass reproductions generally depends on modern-day trends in the recovery marketplace. While it's miles commonly simpler to find a given automobile frame made from fiberglass than from metallic, a loss of demand for a sure 12 months's model can make it difficult to acquire.
On the alternative hand, the provision of steel originals is unaffected by way of marketplace trends. While maximum metallic Corvette bodies are difficult to return via, certain fashions might not exist at all in fiberglass. For traditional Corvette restorers interested in rarer fashions, metallic may be the best viable choice.
Environmental Conditions
Steel and fiberglass are each difficulty to put on and tear from positive factors. Steel is resilient underneath a huge range of temperatures, however it corrodes easily. People who stay in moist or snowy regions will as a consequence locate it simpler to hold fiberglass Corvettes.
However, fiberglass can without difficulty warp in warm environments. When this happens, it also releases chemical substances into the air and may turn a dingy green shade. If available, metal can be a better choice for enthusiasts who will must keep their automobiles in warm regions.
For novice restorers, metallic can be an awful lot easier to work with than fiberglass. It calls for little unique system or training, and simple cutting, grinding, and welding techniques are regularly sufficient for restorations and repairs.
Making upkeep to fiberglass calls for an appropriate mixing, reducing, and laying of latest glass. Overall, the fabric is a good deal much less forgiving than metallic.
Understanding Fiberglass Vs. Metal Classic Corvette Restoration
Of path, these worries are best important to folks who plan on doing their very own body work. For conventional Corvette recuperation fans who need our bodies already in great repair, reproductions - most usually fiberglass - can be the first-rate choice.
If you have a classic Corvette restoration mission that is languishing because you insist that it be done proper and with zero tolerance for substandard work, then call a professional now for a loose, exclusive session about your project, how a whole lot it's going to price and how long it'll take to complete.

Hale was one of those Americans who went to Germany in the generation after Goodwin, Gildersleeve, and Lane and, like those three, was converted by the experience into a lifetime devotion to the scientific analysis and explanation of grammar. He became our foremost Latin grammarian and was quite naturally drawn to exemplifying his grammatical approach in his teaching and, naturally, in his grammar and textbooks. He schooled a great number of Latin teachers in his popular "Teacher's Tracing Course." His pamphlet "The Art of Reading Latin" advanced the notion that Latin could be read by students like a modern language. "With great charm of presentation and with characteristic skill in illustration," according to G. L. Hendrickson, "there was developed a feeling for Latin word order and an appreciation of its significance for emphasis and stylistic color, which removed it absolutely from the old jig-saw puzzle attack of current instruction." Hale taught frequently in the University High School at Chicago and served on numerous university committees, such as the Joint Committee on Grammatical Nomenclature and the Classical Investigation.Hale termed his theories "psychological syntax," which attempted to replace the prevalent "metaphysical" or "logical" approach. He attempted to free the study of grammar from the rigidity of classification and nomenclature, from reliance on theory rather than examination and description of individual instances. He still believed in the foundation of Latin in Indo-European and for some years worked on a massive Latin syntax on the order of Goodwin's Moods and Tenses of the Greek Verb, but the project never achieved even the limited results of Gildersleeve's Greek syntax. When Hale discovered the Vatican MS of Catullus (R) while he was in Rome helping the establishment of the ASCSR (of which he was the first director), he diverted his attention from syntax to palaeography and maintained that the new MS (which he called R) was of equal quality to the Oxford (O) and Paris (G) MSS and could thus be a basis for reconstruction of the Vatican archetype.

By stretching and careful massage of your penis everyday, for only 15 to 20 minutes a day, you will quickly begin to realize growth development in the size of the penis.
Massaging the penis has nothing to do with masturbation. It is considered an exercise routine and will be part of your day-to-day regime and the goal will be to have a larger unit
Let's begin by talking about the workout itself and start you down the road to a greater penis.
The Daily Routine
Proper grip and great lubricants are essential. These exercises are to be sustained five days a week, for 15 to 20 minutes daily, to be successful. There are steps and grip positions that should be adopted in order to get the most bang out of your buck and time and the eventual larger penis goal. Check out our pe bible review to increase penis size.
The exercises you're about to undertake is a variance of the popular 'Jelqing' penile workout procedure. Because each man is unique and every man's penis is individual and different to that man's physique, so will the penis exercise demonstrated here.
Here's a little experiment you can try, that'll give you an idea of the kind of penis size you should be able to achieve.
You will need two pieces of A4 paper, a pair of scissors, Sticky tape or paper paste, a ruler and some string or tailors measuring tape.
Whilst the penis is erect measure from the side of the penis. This is the regular method used to measure the average penis size. Hold your penis below the head and put the ruler next to it with your other hand. The ruler should be slightly pressing against your pubic bone. Measure as correct as you can without the need over amplify
Next use a cloth tape to measure your erect girth.
When you have the two measurements, cut the paper to these attributes, fold it into a tube and secure with tape. This is your actual penis size.
Now add two inches to length and an inch to girth and cut the second paper. Roll and tape – now you have an example of your bigger penis, a few weeks from now!
Lubricant Is Very Important during the Daily Penis Exercises
In order for an exercise on the penis to be beneficial, particularly in something as important and complex as penis enlargement, it must first be comfortable and non-abrasive.
Since there are literally hundreds of fine and very high-quality lubricants on the market today. Grapeseed Oil is cheap and has excellent usage qualities. The principle here is that it is a non-irritating lubricant that can be heated up and then easily removed.
Preparing the Penis
The only ingredient that should be retrieved when working the penis, is to sustain your penis only partially hard. If you feel a full erection developing or ejaculation coming on, pause until the urge settles. Also there is no need to make contact with the head area, this region will be swollen with blood during the procedure. This is completely natural.
The techniques involved first warming up the penis with a warm towel so that blood can start to flow to the penis head.
Once your penis is in the proper erect state and lubricated place your forefinger and thumb around the base of your penis and with firm pressure drive along to beneath the penis head and release and duplicate with alternating hands in a smooth rhythmic movement, reaching upon every part of the penis except the the penis head. Each pass should be around 3 seconds
Do 200-300 strokes everyday at medium strength for the first week.
Do 300-500 strokes everyday at medium-full strength for the next week.
Do 500 or more strokes a day from then on, and as strong as you can make them.
Remember, you should not feel any irritation while operating this technique. Use plenty of lubricant to avoid any annoyance of the skin.
It's also essential to mention that whatever gains you realize utilizing these techniques are lasting, your penis will not reduce back once you stop the routine

LOS ANGELES – VR Games are uniquely different from both games and VR experiences, said speakers from Survios (Raw Data), Emmy-winning Secret Location, Square Enix, and award-winning composers and audio experts at our first Digital LA – VR Games panel at CTRL Collective Playa Vista.
This panel is the first in the LA area to focus on VR and Games. LA is a leader in VR Games. Survios award-winning Raw Data robot-snooter game is based in Culver City. Marvel Powers United VR team is based in Burbank. Disney Accelerator hosts Utah-based The VOID in its fourth accelerator class this summer. And dozens of studios around LA are working on VFX for other VR games.
Watch: Speakers shared their top trends, predictions and wish list for the future of VR games in this video.
12 Things You Need to Know about VR Games
1. VR Game vs VR Experience. "VR games have rules," said Daniel Zeligman, Survios lead engineer, just like regular video games. VR games also have goals, and usually some interactivity, like video games.
The difference: "In VR, interactivity could be just looking at something," said Sally Kellaway, creative director at San Diego based Ossic sound VR company.
Many VR experiences are not games because you are looking around at an environment, but there isn't a particular objective or goal, or interactivity.
If you want to create a VR game, ask: Why is this in VR vs a regular game? What additionally storytelling is possible in VR?
"Why are you telling the story in VR?" said Penka Kouneva, composer on the Mummy VR.
2. VR games genres: Shooter, Horror, Explorer: VR games tend to work well for certain genres. First person shooting games, like Survios Raw Data, work well because you're in the environment shooting robots or zombies coming at you.
Secret Location, which won the first Emmy for its Headless Horseman VR work on Sleepy Hollow in 2015, decided to shift into games, said Eric Shamlin, Secret Location, SVP Managing Director (photo below). This lets Secret Location own its own IP, rather than only doing contract work for studios. Secret Location decided that its first game should be a wave shooter: Blasters of the Universe. Players instinctively know what to do in a VR shooter. Blasters releases on August 30. Attendees played Blasters at our event.
Horror VR games work well to immerse you in a scary environment with surprise monsters coming at you. The Starbreeze Walking Dead VR experience lets you shoot zombies that eventually overtake you (because that's how all VR zombie experiences end).
Open world exploration games or puzzle games can also work well, and are the next wave of VR games coming in the future.
3. Branded VR Games. VR based on existing IP are popular. Marvel has created Powers United VR game where you become favorite Marvel superheroes. The VOID created VR experiences for Ghostbusters and is working on a Star Wars VR game that will debut at Downtown Disney in Anaheim this winter.
Square Enix has created VR experience and games based on Tomb Raider, and other properties, said Adam Sullivan of Square Enix. They are not full-on VR game play, but a small VR game or experience based on the world / IP.
4. Brainstorm Gameplay. VR games can really let you do anything: jump, duck, run, shoot, etc. Your game development team should brainstorm what actions are possible in your game based on game style, genre, objectives, mechanics, and what's technically possible.
For example, in Survios Raw Data, game designers thought that you should have several ways to attack the robots that are coming at you from all sides. You can use different gestures with the controllers to shoot explosive arrows from a bow, pump a shotgun, swing your light katana and even punch the robots. You can move around with traditional joystick based artificial locomotion, or use the game controller buttons to teleshift (teleport several feet).
Meanwhile in Survios Sprint Vector game, you move around by swinging your arms in a running motion. Since people run differently swinging their arms from side to side, up and down, etc, the game must interpolate a range of controller movement as running and then make the character in the game run, said Daniel Zeligman, Survios lead engineer.
Most important: what should your user feel at certain points in the game? Caution, victory, fear, etc. It's not just the action, what are the emotional arcs you want the character to feel in the game?
What feedback will you give the user so they know their actions are working – visual, sound, both? For example, if you turn your shields on, how will that look via visuals or sound via audio or both?
What VFX and music will help accentuate the game and storytelling?
5. Immersive Sound
VR games are immersive, so sound and music are key to help immerse the player in the world, alert them where to look, and what to feel, speakers said.
"Investment in good sound is the best ROI," said Viktor Phoenix, who did sound on the Passengers Awakening VR game and ADR1FT game.
Sound cues can help let the player know an enemy is approaching and from what direction so they know where to look, said Sally Kellaway of Ossic.
VR sound should not be thought of as theatre sound with sound coming from 3-7 points around the player. Instead, sound should be coming from each object in the world, like in the real world. The sound gets louder if you get closer to the object. In VR, the sound can also get louder if you're looking at an object.
6. Music Sets Mood. Music for VR games are different from film and games. The score must be more subtle, and set a mood, rather than bombastic or triumphant melodies, said Penka Kouneva, award-winning composer on the Mummy VR, Prince of Persia game, and a NASA VR experience. This is because sound is used to communicate so many other things in VR (where to look, objects to interact with etc.) that the score must be more subtle.
"For the Mummy, there are machines guns and helicopters," Penka said. "The music can't be too rhythmic or interfere with these other sounds." She picked different sound frequencies from the guns and helicopters.
Penka also advised the composer must play the VR game, even an early demo version, to understand the game play, sound design, map, mechanics, and mood.
"For the Mummy VR, I did the VR experience before I even composed a single note," Penka said.
7. Get Social. VR games are trending to social interaction with other players, which makes games more interesting, less lonely, and increases the amount of time you can spend in the game. In both Survios Raw Data and Sprint Vector, you can see and talk to another player in the game.
In the VOID's Ghostbusters VR, you can talk to up to 3 other Ghostbuster players to battle ghosts and the Stay Puff Marshmallow man. See our review of Ghostbusters VR
In Marvel Powers United VR, you can play as Hulk, Deadpool, Rocket or Captain Marvel, and other characters, interacting with each other in the game, and shouting out commands to other players in real life.
8. Beta Test. As you're developing the game, test it with VR fans, game fans, genre fans, and people who've never done VR, so you can see what they are responding to. Testing can tell you to make game controls more simple, less dizzying, etc. so more people can enjoy it.
9. Access. Access to VR games is key to growing the market. You need an expensive HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Google Daydream or other VR goggle to play most games. PlayStation's VR grows the audience as well.
For most people who don't have a VR game set up at home, you can play at VR game venues.
10. Venues: Arcades. In LA, two VR venues have opened with VR games.
IMAX VR lets you play Raw Data, a Star Wars VR game, and other games and experiences for $10-15 for a 10-15 minute game. IMAX VR is located across the street from the Grove and Farmers Market. Our review of IMAX VR when it opened in early summer 2017.
Mummy VR just opened at Hollywood and Highland in Hollywood. You sit in swivel chairs allowing you to spin around as you view on screen (see photo). Universal Pictures worked with Starbreeze to create the Mummy VR. It's Starbreeze's first location based VR arcade experience, announced more than a year ago.
Also, Westfield Century City will have a VR arcade when the remodeled section opens laster this year.
11. Revenue Model. Most VR games are pay to download on a VR game platform. Revenue models for game companies include: users pays to play, own or rent a game, revenue share, and licensing.
12. VR esports is coming. In the future, we will have VR esports, where for example, you can watch Raw Data players from around the world play for a grand prize. You will even be able to put on VR goggles to watch the players within the game as if you were there. However, the VR install base must grow so more players can get good enough at the games to compete. Also, server bandwidth for multiplayer VR needs to increase to allow smooth gameplay.

American fans of scripted network television this summer can thank Canada.
Three of the dramas on CBS and ABC this month come from Toronto, the result of deals with Canadian networks to share the shows and the costs. Last week the CW network joined the trend, buying repeats of a Canadian sitcom called "18 to Life."
Network executives say that without the deals, their summer schedules would be carrying fewer new scripted hours and, in their place, more repeats and reality shows.
"This is not a business model to build a network schedule around, but it enhances your ability to program more originals year round," said Chris Ender, a spokesman for CBS.
The deals with counterparts to the north started during the writers' strike in 2007-8, when networks in the United States were desperate for fresh material. At that time CBS picked up "Flashpoint," a police drama from the Canadian network CTV that is now in its third season and is shown in both countries.
Until "Flashpoint," no Canadian series had also been shown in the United States since "Due South" in 1994 and it only lasted one season in the states.
Last year two Canadian imports, "The Listener" on NBC and "Defying Gravity" on ABC, both flopped. But the networks have tried again this summer, with "The Bridge" on CBS and "Rookie Blue" on ABC.
Displaying confidence in the cross-border approach, ABC and its partner, Canwest Broadcasting, renewed "Rookie Blue" for a second season last week, although it has averaged only 4.2 million viewers in the United States. At that rating, the return on investment was sufficient.
"Rookie Blue" is a classic co-production between ABC and Canwest, the result of a deal that was struck last year. "At the right deal point, it was worth us taking a shot at finally putting money where our mouth was and doing original summer dramas," said Quinn Taylor, the senior vice president for movies, mini-series and acquisitions at ABC. "It was a risk worth taking, and it's paid off so far."
New York magazine reported last week that ABC pays as little as $350,000 an episode for "Rookie Blue." Mr. Taylor declined to comment on the deal terms. But three people at the networks said $350,000 is the average license fee for each of the imports on ABC and CBS, and one of the people said the fees for an episode were sometimes even lower. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose financial terms.
Networks typically pay a license fee well above $1 million an episode, so the savings on the Canadian shows are substantial and fewer viewers need to tune in to turn a profit. Canadian tax credits help keep the production costs especially low for all the parties involved.
Network executives say the deals for each show are a little different, but the benefits are the same. The United States networks save money, the Canadian networks get to "put more money on the screen," and the producers get a bigger audience for their work, said Susanne Boyce, the president for creative, content and channels for CTV, which commissioned "Flashpoint" and "The Bridge."
"For years we've been bringing in fantastic programs from the U.S.," she said. "It's nice to do the reverse."
For the Canadian producers, a United States showing also raises the value of a show in other international markets, where they often recoup their costs.
The networks dislike the notion that they are skimping on quality. "Advertisers still want the ABC brand, the ABC quality, so we have to be very diligent about that," Mr. Taylor said.
It is a coincidence that the three Canadian dramas are all police series. At least the CW network's acquisition, "18 to Life," breaks the mold: it is a romantic comedy that is taped in Montreal and shown on CBC. It will start in the United States in August.
Dawn Ostroff, the president of entertainment for CW, said the deal was a way to "have more content on the network in the summer that's original to our audience." It has no other scripted series planned until September.
Having fresh scripted shows, whatever country they are from, on the networks in the summer a season when viewers gravitate to cable for top dramas gives marketers a platform to promote fall shows, the ones that cost far more than $350,000 an episode.
Ms. Boyce said she expected that Canadian shows, having found a foothold here in the summer, would eventually start to appear on the more-prominent fall schedules as well.
Other than an occasional mention of a "constable" or a sighting of the Toronto skyline, the national origin of these shows is undetectable to most American viewers. North of the border, viewers are more vigilant. One Canadian reviewer of "The Bridge" lingered on the fact that the bar where the police officers retreat after work "screams Boston or New York," not Canada.

The de facto capital city of Nauru is Yaren. It was established in 1968 under the name Makwa or Moqua which is a reference to the area's underground lake which serves as a major source of drinking water for the local population. The city is situated in the southern portion of the island and occupies an area of just 0.58 square miles. Yaren has the status of being a de facto capital city due to the fact that Nauru doesn't have any other cities lest of all any large enough to serve in the role of capital.
According to figures from 2011 the total population of Yaren was estimated to be 747. Nauru's biggest district is Denigomodu which is home to a majority of its residents. Yaren is considered to be the nation's capital because the United Nation accepts it as Nauru's main district. Yaren is also home to an array of government offices such as the Parliament House, Nauru International Airport, the Australian High Commission, Taiwanese Embassy, and National Stadium.
Although Yaren isn't considered a tourist destination it is home to one of Nauru's main natural landmarks; the Moqua Well. This underground lake served as the main source of drinking water for local residents during World War II which explains why it is called a well rather than a lake. Visitors who do venture to Yaren are attracted to the region come here in order to enjoy its tropical white sandy beaches, warm ocean waters, and jungle environment.
Nauru enjoys a hot and humid climate all year long. The island nation is prone to monsoons which commonly occur between the months of November and February. Annual temperatures range from highs of 86.5F to lows of 77F. Average rain fall amounts fall between a low of 3.94 inches in October to 11.02 inches during December and January.

Adding a blog to your law firm's website can help your law firm in several ways. It can increase your website's conversion rate (the percentage of visitors to your website that become clients of the law firm), it can boost your SEO rankings (how high in the list of Google search results page your website appears), and it can inform prospective clients about legal issues and current events related to your law firm's practice areas. Conversely, much like a late night, drunken social media post, a bad blog can be an embarrassment to your law firm, reminding everyone who takes fingers to a Google search bar of your error in judgment. Here are some common mistakes that even the most knowledgeable, skilled writers often make on law firm blogs, as well as solutions to these problems.
PROBLEM: Typos in the Title and Subheadings
Imagine that someone types your name into Google and finds a blog post about the case you recently won in your capacity as pubic defender. Yes, you can correct it and publish the corrected version, but how many people will see it before you do?
SOLUTION: Proofread and proofread again before you click "publish."
PROBLEM: Writing Posts but Not Publishing Them
Imagine that you hire a content marketing firm to write twelve posts for you, which you intend to publish weekly. You have enough to give your blog weekly updates for three months, but only if you click "publish." They won't do your SEO rankings any good just sitting there in an attachment to your email.
SOLUTION: Set the date and time ahead of time for each post to become visible to visitors to your website.
PROBLEM: Broken Hyperlinks
Adding links to your blog posts is a good idea. It leads your readers to information that they are seeking, it boosts the SEO rankings of your website, and it generates good will with the authors of the content to which you have linked. Of course, you will not get any of these benefits if the links you include in your blog post do not work.
SOLUTION: Navigate to the links before you publish your post to make sure that you have typed or copied them correctly. If they do not work, fix them or replace them with links that do work.
PROBLEM: Images That Don't Display Properly
Images are great for your blog, but not if they are blurry or cut off.
SOLUTION: Preview your post, images and all, before you publish it. Edit or replace images that do not display well.
Let Law Blog Writers Do the Writing
If all this proofreading and troubleshooting on your blog sounds like too much work for a busy lawyer like you, perhaps you should hire a content marketing firm where the writers have legal expertise. Contact Law Blog Writers to start the discussion about your vision for your law firm's blog, and we will deliver engaging content that is free of glitches and embarrassing errors.

A bummel is a journey without end. Whether we want to or not, most of us have to settle with a return to our regular exertions. So do these heroes of THREE MEN IN A BOAT, only on this occasion, a cycling trip through the Black Forest, it seems they may cycle on forever, such are their problems. Whether its George attempting to buy a cushion for his aunt or Harriss harrowing experience with a road-waterer, not to mention the routine problems with language and directions, things get very confused indeed!A delightful excursion in a world which, alas, exists no longer--and indeed may only have been found in the authors lively imagination.

Editor: Vladimir Bajic | Tactical Investor[color-box color="blue"]
Before we get to the article at hand many might ask why we cover political and health issues when our main focus in the stock markets and the financial arena. The short and simple answer is that all these fields are connected; we don't have free market forces anymore. Everything is manipulated; from the food you eat to data you are provided. If you are aware of this you can plan accordingly. Identifying the problem is over 80% of the solution and this is why most people don't know what to do because they don't really understand the problem. Now you know why we are the only financial website that covers such a wide array of topics that on the surface appear to be unrelated but are in fact, deeply interwoven. Mass psychology is a very powerful tool and if employed correctly can help you spot the grotesque levels of manipulation the masses are subjected to. We strongly suggest that you view or read or view Plato's allegory of the cave. You might also find the following article to be of interest:
The real problem is that there are college students that don' want to work and want to go to the best colleges money can buy and the parents are encouraging this. What happened to the day you went to the college you could afford, and you worked to pay for all of it or, at least, helped your parents. The problem lies with the parents and the kids; the parents are encouraging this insolent and "it's all about me behaviour" and that is why we live in a dog eat dog world today.
What made the baby boomers great and all those that came to the U.S decades ago? Everyone worked hard; there were no handouts, today's generations wants the best of the best, but they do not want to pay for it.When the going gets tough, many college students decide to take the easy way out and have no qualms about selling themselves to sugar daddies to pay for their college. Sounds like such a sad story, until you realise these spoilt brats want the best of the best for doing nothing. Simple Common Sense Fix Ends Student Debt Problem

The 9th Dimensional Arcturian Council ~ We Are Within You
The 9th Dimensional Arcturian Council ~ We Are Within You
"Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.
We have engaged with you individually while you are asleep, and we have engaged with you as a collective. We have also engaged with you through this particular channel, and there is much more to come. We are helping you through your shift in consciousness, but we are not doing anything for you.
We can send you energy, downloads, and even upgrades, but none of those things will result in the evolution of your consciousness. That is completely on you, and that's the way that you want it, because you want to experience the change and to know that the change has come from within.
Now certainly in moments of doubt and darkness and despair, you will cry out and ask for us to do something for you, but you don't really mean it. So when we do help you, when we do give you a nudge, we are simply encouraging you to do what you already want to do. But again, we are not doing it for you. As we become your helpers in the moments that you shift your consciousness, and you recognize us, you are going to recognize also the fact that we have always existed within you as well.
This is always an inside job, you see, even when it seems like we exist, somewhere, out there, in another dimension, we are still simply activating something inside of you that was always present. You know what you need to know because you have always known. We are just here because, at times, you need the right button pushing.
Ultimately, you will want to connect with us as friends, and you will know that everything that you need is inside of you. We will reminisce about the times when you thought that you needed more help, and we may even share a laugh over the times when you called out in desperation. When we look at you, we also see ourselves, and the layers of consciousness that have yet to be revealed to you are numerous. Therefore, you can get ready for quite a ride as this journey that we are on together continues.
We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you."

Tort Law Issues
A tort is an actionable wrong. Negligence torts are usually more difficult to prove in contact sports since injuries and violent actions are more common and expected. Spectators can also file a case for negligence if the injuries they have sustained couldn't have been anticipated given the sporting event's nature. For instance, a baseball fan staying in the bleachers could sensibly assume a baseball might come toward their direction. However, a wrestling fan staying courtside wouldn't assume a wrestler to come soaring their way.
Sports tort law affects other less obvious aspects. For instance, team doctors could be responsible for medical malpractice for issuing a fabricated clean health bill to a player so that the athlete may continue performing. This is a form of negligence on their part. Players who deliberately cause physical harm to another player, spectator or coach may be responsible for doing an intentional tort together with battery and assault.
A person's reputation or good character is protected by the law of defamation. Publishing wrong information about an athlete may be unlawful if it was circulated with actual spite or with an irresponsible disregard for the truth. The popularity and growth of instant messaging, websites and other non-traditional media outlets have added a different dynamic to this area of the law.
Publicity rights are also closely associated with tort. The law of defamation may protect the reputation or good character of an individual, but the right of publicity allows a person to commercially take advantage of his name, image or likeness. Domain names, copyrights and trademarks are included in this area of sports law. Getting the help of a lawyer is advised if you face any problem with your contract or you sustained an injury due to another person's negligence, inaction or action.

I was asked to get on here and post info on a Team Briley fundraiser. A Ruger Red Label over/under 26" barrel shotgun will be raffled on September 10th. Just in time for dove season! Tickets can be purchased at Vita Auto Parts, Hostas Insurance, or Shumate Taxidermy. The gun can be seen at Shumates. $10/ticket or 6 for $50. The gun is very nice and retails for $1900. We thank everyone that made this possible!
Briley is doing very good. She is still in isolation. She will get another CBC on Wednesday to determine if she can start the next phase. Thank you for all of your support!

Welcome to our range of Multi-level Lifts and Multi-level HomeLifts where we can provide you with a choice of residential or commercial lifts tailor made to suit your exact requirements.
We have a huge range of lifts suitable for all types and styles (traditional or contemporary) of properties such as:
Town Houses, Detached, Semi-Detached, Terraced Properties, Cottages, Country Residences, Flats and Penthouse Apartments.
We are happy to offer you free advice and help you through the entire process of selecting the best type of lift for your needs.
Our Multi-Level HomeLifts are available as Hydraulic Platform Lifts or Electric Powered Traction Lifts (240 volt or 3 phase). We will advise you as to which type of lift will best suit your needs and explain the different options that are available to you taking into account various factors such as the available space for a lift within your property, the desired performance of the lift – e.g. how many floors/ levels will it serve and other operational factors such the rate of travel (speed) of the lift, the required load capacity, how quiet will the lift be and of course financial considerations- what will the lift cost and also what are the running costs.
Our lifts can be custom made to any size. We have lifts with floor sizes from under ONE meter square (about the size of an upright fridge freezer or a small shower cubicle tray). Our larger lifts have load capacities for several people with wheelchairs, heavy mobility scooters.
We can also supply custom made lifts for use in private residential properties where there is a requirement for a lift to be large/ long enough to transport a single stretcher home bed or a long fully reclining wheelchair with a head rest.
We have lifts with different door configurations (layouts). For example, you can enter the lift car/ cabin from the front then the lift travels up or down to the desired floor/ level then you can exit the lift from the right hand side, the left hand side or even straight through and out of the back of the lift depending on the layout of the building. The ability to configure the layout of the doors can be a vital factor in designing a lift in some homes- for example when a lift with its door facing forwards directly into the room is positioned at the back of an underground or semi- basement garage then travels up to the ground floor where its door now has to open up on the left hand side of the lift car/ cabin onto a narrow hallway and then finally the lift travels up to the first floor landing where now its door has to open out of the back of the lift car/ cabin in order to avoid the banisters. In traditional homes our lifts can be hidden behind solid or plasterboard walls, we can even conceal lifts behind doors that match antique wood paneling. Alternatively if you are after a contemporary design we can supply lifts in self-supporting structures constructed of panoramic glass fitted to a customised special finished metal framework, these glass towers can make a bold visual statement and can even be situated inside a small stairwell.
As for the interior design choices for your lift car/ cabin, the possibilities are endless:
Walls: Wood effect, wall mirrors, leather panels, full height plate mirror glass, patterned etched glass, special metal finishes etc…
Floors: Marble, granite, tile, slate, laminate, checker plate steel, wood or carpet.
Lighting: LED ceiling lights, additional lighting around mirrors, addition floor level lighting.
We are confident that we can design a lift to suit your home that you (and us) will be proud of.
Lift Cabin (etched glass) Lift Cabin (wood finish) Large Stretcher Bed Lift
Modern Passenger Lift Self-supporting Glass Lift Another Stretcher Bed Lift
Mirrored Lift Cabin
Our Hydraulic Platform Lifts comprise of an electrically powered pump which forces hydraulic oil into a cylinder with a piston at the base of the lift which powers the lift car up or down. These lifts usually only require a normal 240 volt single phase electricity supply with some appropriate additional wiring and fuses. Typically we use this type of lift where there is a requirement to travel beyond just a single storey up to 6 levels/ floors.
Our Electric (Traction) Lifts are more expensive than our Hydraulic Platform Lifts because they can travel faster and further by using an electric motor to power a winding mechanism attached to cables, a pulley and a counterweight. This type of lift might be used in a situation such as a Town House or large property where up to 8 levels/ floors are involved or where the rate of travel (speed) of the lift becomes a significant factor after about the 4th floor level. A single phase 240 volt electricity supply is sufficient for most installations of this type though using a 3 phase electrical power supply is also an option.
For all enquiries please contact us at:
Tel: 020 7183 3606
Our email address is : email@example.com
We also have lifts suitable for commercial use in: Care Homes, Nursing Homes, Restaurants, Offices, Hotels, Flats/ Apartments etc…Please see the other pages on this website for examples of our commercial lifts or stretcher bed lifts.

Many stacks are named in such a way that their function isn't obvious, so these tags should be helpful as you browse the tutorials and decide which ones to view. These tags will be found on the individual tutorial pages for each developer. At the moment, all of the StackManiac tutorials are tagged, and I will be adding tags to the others developer pages soon.

New StackManiac Stacks Tutorials Are Here
October 19, 2012 Filed in: Tutorial Update
In a return to Stack Elements tutorials, I am pleased to add a new developer to the RapidWeaver Classroom curriculum. StackManiac has been producing some outstanding Stack Elements for the Stacks plugin, and I have begun adding tutorials on these stacks to the curriculum. StackManiac has also joined a growing list of developers who offer discounts to RapidWeaver Classroom subscribers, and a discount code for 20% off is now available in the members' area.
The new StackManiac section of tutorials launches with three stacks: AudioDeckr, FancyViewr and GrayScale. AudioDeckr provides a sleek, stylish audio player that supports HTML5 and responsive layout. FancyViewr is one of my favorite image lightbox stacks, and GrayScale creates a nice hover effect for static images.
I have already recorded tutorials for five more StackManiac stacks, and I will have those edited and published to the website next week, so check back soon for more!

The site of this park is rich in historic associations with the Revolutionary War and several large nineteenth-century estates. The Fort Tryon Park was constructed and donated to the city by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and it is one of his major philanthropic ventures in New York City. The design of Fort Tryon Park is a response to the topographic difficulties of its rocky site and represents a skillful integration of its various elements, including views of the Hudson River, manipulation of landforms, surviving remains of nineteenth-century estates, artful plantings, circulation system, and architecture.

17.06.04 – WBF Heavyweight Champion Audley Harrison (16-0, 11KOs) will face undefeated Tomasz Bonin (26-0, 16 KOs) from Poland on June 19 at the Alexandra Palace in Wood Green, London. The fight will air live on BBC1 at 10:50pm. The two were in attendance at the final press conference today held at the David Lloyd Centre in London. Harrison and Bonin know each other from various amateur tournaments and has kept track of each other's professional progress to date.
Press in attendance asked both fighters what they thought about Saturday night and many media members were still interested in Harrison's comments on the recently reported ending to his BBC contract as well as his personal campaign to secure a fight with British heavyweight Matt Skelton (while maintaining his independence) before being forced to go to America to pursue his heavyweight dreams.
Hazel Bruno-Gilbert (Business Manager, A-Force Promotions) – "This week has been a very important week for A-Force and Audley Harrison. As you know, it is the last show on the BBC and it is the end of three, back-to-back fights for Audley. Despite all that is going on, Audley has had a great training camp and definitely ready to rumble on Saturday night. We welcome Tomasz Bonin and his team.
"We urge everyone to get behind Audley Saturday night. Show him your true support and love, whether it's at Alexandra Palace or on BBC1. This could be his last fight in the UK for awhile."
Tomasz Bonin (26-0, 16 KOs) –"I am delighted to participate in the fight and I am looking forward to meeting and smashing Harrison! I have postponed fights back in Poland just for this fight and I have been training very hard and long and I am ready to go.
"I have come close to meeting Harrison before in the 1999 World Championship, where I was defeated by Samil Sam the round before he defeated Harrison. Finally, our long awaited match can happen.
"Harrison has a very good background and made great progress since the Olympics. He is very well coached with an excellent reputation worldwide. I will try to defeat him the same way that I have gone about all my fights in Poland against other undefeated fighters I have faced. I have the experience and have it to my advantage. I have a great amateur background and that will make it a great fight for all of us.
Audley Harrison (16-0, 11KOs) – "I am grateful to Tomasz Bonin and his team for being very professional throughout this promotion with everything that has been going on. I have known about Tomasz Bonin from the amateur ranks and despite the fact that a lot has been going on around me, I am 100% focused on this fight for Saturday night.
"Three fights in a row have been tough – tough for my boxing team under Thell Torrence, and tough for my business team under Hazel Bruno-Gilbert. But a big thanks to all of my team and staff for coping so well with the pressure.
"I deliver my promises and on Saturday night I am ready to deliver. My statement shows why I haven't boxed some opponents and it shows why my career is where it is. But I am the best chance of representing Britain on the world stage and Britain should celebrate that and deal with the truth. Tomasz Bonin has come to fight and that brings the best out of Audley Harrison. By watching this live, it is the biggest protest to the BBC. I won't rant and rave after the fight. My statement is fair and truthful."
"Saturday is for the fans as a thank-you and it is to those fans that I appeal to support me wherever my career takes me.
"I was aware of the BBC decision but it will be the fans that will lose out. It seems a strange decision – just as you are about to get a return on something you let it go. Boxing deserves to be a mainstream sport on terrestrial television. But this is bigger than just Audley Harrison. Audley Harrison is the spearhead of the BBC campaign and therefore by letting Audley Harrison go, they have let boxing go. This is for boxing as a whole and for other BBC fighters such as Carl Froch and David Haye and for the promoters involved. Forget about Audley Harrison: I am happy to have been the start of the re-launch of big time boxing on the BBC, happy to be the sacrifice and happy to purge the system. I am not the villain here and I never bring the name of boxing down. Boxing needs terrestrial coverage so tune in and let that be my legacy left.
"If the deal with Mr Warren cannot be done, then there will be no option but to move abroad because my career is not all about the British scene. It's about the world scene.
"I have no plans for America yet. I have options but they are on the side at the moment. I want to fight Matt Skelton; I want to win the British title. This fight is too unique to make me a mandatory challenger. Matt Skelton is a York Hall fighter, but Audley Harrison brings more to the table than that. I am not asking for a 70-30 share. I am asking for 50-50 which I think is fair and reasonable.
"A mandatory position does not allow this. To be honest, and with respect to the WBF, I would release the belt if it meant the fight could happen with Skelton. In fact, I would fight Skelton for no title at all – I don't want any titles to be a stumbling block so let's just do the fight. Mr Warren has to compromise. I want the British title, but I will sacrifice it just to fight Skelton. I want to clear the British scene and I want to go to the US as the best British prospect.
"Mr. Warren wanted to sign me before the Olympics. He said that I couldn't win Olympic Gold. He said it hadn't been done in 32 years. He thought I would come back cap in hand. But I didn't. I will be heavyweight champion of the world regardless of the Skelton fight – this fight is for British boxing. I don't hate Frank Warren – he is a business man as I am. But he has to get over the fact that A-Force is an entity and he has to compromise and get over it. Play the game for boxing Frank".
"With a broadcaster, I can still bring big fights to the UK. Clifford Etienne could have been here but there was no money from the BBC. Frank Warren has the fighters here and all it requires is for him to be fair and reasonable. Skelton has done a good job to get there so let me and Skelton box.
"With regards to comments from Scott Harrison, I sympathise with all at Sports Network. They are the pawns in the Frank Warren game of chess. Scott Harrison is a good fighter, and as far as I'm concerned Britain is big enough for two Harrisons. I wish him well and hope he gets through. He has my respect for being a champion".
As most of you have heard by now, Saturday night will be my last fight on the BBC (10.50pm) and as far as I can see, the end of Big Time boxing on the channel for the foreseeable future. It is with mixed emotions that I reflect on this first part of my career, as it has given me great pleasure to have the opportunity to let you witness all of my fights whether live or on television.
Instead, boxing will be pushed to the later slots of scheduling and as I understand it, the BBC's fantastic 'Summer of Sport' will not include any boxing other than the Olympics and one or two late night highlights of HBO broadcasts. The boxers that remain on the channel will have the next three months to wonder why their promoters can't get them showcased. This story is far bigger than Audley Harrison. Boxing's future on the BBC, I believe is at its end.
Before I start explaining everything that has happened over the past week, I first would like to take the time to thank you for your support to date and ask that you continue to follow my career—no matter what direction it takes—as this might be a bump in the road but it is far from a road wreck. There is still no doubt in my mind that I will become the legitimate Heavyweight Champion of the World.
Now, and with regard to my relationship with BBC Sport, I am quite disappointed that the decision has been reached to end this association at this time. It was understood by me and my company, A-Force Promotions, that there would come a time that the deal would be at an end. With the return of the premiership to the network, and in addition to the high financial price that comes with big time boxing, there was an understanding that the BBC would not be prepared to support my entire career but I was lead to believe that they would hang in their with me until March, 2005. That is why it was such a surprise that the termination happened so abruptly and at this time.
On the whole there have been some positive results from this association and one of them has to do with you—the fans. My association created a revival for British boxing as it returned to primetime terrestrial television ensuring that more fans of the sweet science would be able to see and enjoy it—at NO cost. In addition, I have had the chance to have all my 17 fights, including this one, financially funded while airing on terrestrial television. This has given me the jumpstart I needed to establish the early part of my career. Trust me, it has been a great start and I am still very posi
So stay tuned for next steps and what will happen in the coming months. First and foremost, I desire nothing less than to face Matt Skelton, 100%. But everyone, including Frank Warren, Skelton's promoter, needs to know that I will only fight him if it's a fair, no-strings attached agreement between all parties. I will not fight Skelton if I have to give up any options or my independence.
With regard to Frank Warren, I believe the man is obsessed with me. He walks, talks and sleeps Audley Harrison. This has been going on since 1998 when I turned down his offer of £100,000 to sign with him and he has pursued me relentlessly ever since. Before and after every fight I've had, he's continued my campaign, jumping on the bandwagon, taking advantage of associating himself with my name. As far as the relationship between me and Warren, it's like two men playing chess. I commend Frank becaus
Bottom line—Frank Warren has never given me the respect I deserve as a gold medal winner or as my own promoter. He feels and continues to demonstrate his belief that he will eventually control me and/or force me out of my own game. But I am an independent license promoter and will never receive a pay check from him or his company–EVER.
So for the greater good of boxing and all the fans who have asked to see this fight happen, I suggest that all parties work together and come to a realistic agreement. That is the only way this fight can happen and I trust that it will. I have already sent a letter to Sky Television ascertaining their willingness to make this deal (see below.) I am prepared to make this fight happen in two possible ways. Either, Sports Network can buy out the promotional rights for this one fight and pay me an agreed upon amount to be paid directly by Sky Sports. Or I
Allow me to box, win the title and move on in my career, away from the negativity, hijacking and destructiveness that is ruining Britain's best chance of having a genuine and legitimate Heavyweight Champion. Matt Skelton is to be congratulated for his quick rise to the British title, but boxing requires more elements than toughness to be successful. Against me that will be his undoing. However none of this can happen if this fight is not made.
Trust me, I will find a way to overcome my predicament with the help of trusted and respected individuals, who wish for my success and nothing more. The learning curve at this stage of my career is now complete and I'm desperate to box Matt Skelton and a whole host of other fighters. You the fans deserve it and I will strive and make an almighty effort to make it happen, but I need you the fans to support my right to remain independent. Express yourselves and tell Frank Warren to stop obstructing the negotiations wi
If my charge to the top has taken longer than expected, I apologise, but please understand why. If my opponents are not the names you've been expecting, I apologise, but please understand why. If my fight this Saturday is the last time I'm able to box in Britain, again, I apologise, but please understand why.
So stay tuned and don't give up on the A-Force. I appreciate your support to date and want you to know how much it has meant to me to have the millions of fans throughout the country support my fights either by watching them on the television or by coming to the arenas to see them live. I urge you to come to Alexandra Palace Saturday night or catch me on the BBC for the last time. Please understand that A-Force Promotions is here for the long run and are more than capable of looking after my career interests.
Love to fans of boxing who wish me well and understand the battle that's been fought over the last three years, away form public opinion and behind close doors. The whole truth will one day be revealed and the fact that I'm able to still box, win and improve; despite the immense pressure on me and A-Force, will give you some indication of my mentality. I will not quit, no way, no how, but need to lick my wounds and come back stronger, smarter, fitter, focused and whatever else I need to do to achieve my goals and dreams.
