Are you waiting for permission to be helpful?
confidence getting started passions podcasting Jan 04, 2023
Recently, I received a text. It was from a friend who was attempting to get a podcast started. His text began with a simple question about editing software, then his follow-up questions asked me for more nuanced information. Instead of replying in the text thread, I did the old-guy thing and gave him a call. I joked that it was his fault because he requested too much detail.
What followed was a 12-minute conversation about various elements of podcasting. He started by asking me questions about software, then he asked about my microphone preferences. After I shared my preferences, we talked about the benefits of batch recording, building momentum, gaining consistency, and a few other relevant topics that all podcasters wonder about when they're creating a show for the first time.
As we prepared to end the call, he said, "Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Don't be surprised if you hear from me again once we get the show off the ground." I told him I'd be happy to chat some more in the future.
The friend that texted is someone I've known for a long time, but not someone who contacts me regularly. But when it came to podcasting, I was the first person that came to his mind. Why do you suppose that is? Do I have some sort of official designation or credential that makes me the authority on podcasting? Obviously I don't, but among the people my friend knows, I'm the one person who has been consistently recording podcasts for the longest period of time.
So, while I haven't been officially credentialed as a podcasting authority, that's exactly what I've become, and I don't need a credential to establish that. My years of work, and the podcasting success that has come from it, is the only real credential I need. I don't need a podcasting diploma. I don't need a badge, and I don't need a title. All I really need is God's blessing, the fruit of my labor, and a servant's heart.
I mention that because I have met many people, particularly those who are early in the process of developing their online platforms, who mistakenly believe they need some sort of credential, designation, or diploma before they can help someone else. That's quite far from being true. I recognize that there are forms of outside validation that might be useful to convince you that you have what it takes to be helpful, but that validation can take a long time before it's ever bestowed. In the meantime, are you just supposed to wait around for permission to be helpful, or could you begin helping someone as soon as today?
I would suggest that today would be a great day for you to help someone else. If the kind of content you produce doesn't require licensing or legal credentialing to share with others, the only thing probably holding you back from sharing it is your own self-doubt. Maybe you're struggling to see yourself as someone who can help others, but there are a few things you can do to get over those self-imposed emotional limits.
1. Just start helping people. The more you help people, the more comfortable you'll become with offering help. You'll also begin to notice the common struggles and frequently asked questions that are regularly brought up in your area of expertise. If you're asked a question and you don't know the answer, just admit it, but follow up with some research on the subject so you're better prepared the next time you receive a similar question.
2. Give yourself permission to succeed. In most areas, success takes time. Seasoned content creators will tell you that it took a few years of consistent action before their platform hit a tipping point. I suspect that, on average, it takes most people at least three years of unwavering consistency before they see the results they initially dreamed of. But even before they get to that spot, they will see a whole series of small successes along the way that continue to build upon one another. Give yourself permission to get to that tipping point. If you're doing something you love, the time will go by quickly, and your knowledge base will steadily grow.
3. Don't downplay the value you bring to the table. When someone reaches out to you for help, you don't need to feign modesty or act like you're unqualified to assist. If you're good at something or have a deeper level of knowledge on a particular subject, share it without deflecting. Don't say things like, "Well, I haven't really been doing this as long as so-and-so..." or, "You know who could give you a much better answer? That guy."
4. Give away lots of free content. This is something many people forget to do. They think all their best content needs to be behind a paywall for their business or platform to be profitable, and that's absolutely not the case. I would guess that less than 10% of the content I've created is behind a paywall. The majority of the content I create on a daily or weekly basis is freely shared through various channels. Each of those channels becomes a marketing arm for my overall platform. The more I help people with free content, the more income I seem to receive from some of my paid offers. In fact, giving away free content helps me build an audience, authority, and advertising revenue. Free content can become one of the most valuable things you produce, and most of the time, you don't need anyone's permission to share it.
5. Start referring to yourself differently. People will think of you in accordance with how you carry yourself. If you know a lot about something, but you speak of yourself as a novice, people will often assume that your self-assessment is correct, and they'll think of you as a novice as well (even though that's not the honest truth). I don't think it's wise to be dishonest. I also don't think dishonesty demonstrates humility. Humility involves taking an honest assessment of who you are and what you do. If you're an experienced writer, don't hesitate to call yourself one. If you're an experienced coach, call yourself a coach. If you start a membership community, call yourself a leader or a founder. You're good at something that can help others succeed, so start describing yourself in honest terms.
Creating a successful online platform really comes down to figuring out how you can be helpful to other people. Your platform, and the content you produce, solve problems. The things you write, record, and teach help make the lives of other people better. Keep serving others with a generous spirit, and don't spend your life waiting for someone else to help the people you're qualified and positioned to help. You don't need permission to be helpful. Your experience and the wisdom you've gained from that experience have already credentialed you. Life's too short to waste precious time waiting for some elusive form of external validation to tell us we have the permission we need to do what we've clearly been designed to do long ago.

Highlights Of OEWatch For June 2016
tags: 2016, Africa, commentary, Fort Leavenworth, free download, June, Latin America, magazine, NATO, OEWatch, open-source, PLA, reading material, South Sudan, US Army
Each month the US Army's think tank the Foreign Military Studies Office (FMSO) publishes its open source OEWatch magazine. It's a superb brief featuring excerpts of news about ongoing wars and crises. These snippets gathered from various media outlets are accompanied by informed commentary that's strong on context and analysis.
The FMSO releases OEWatch, together with its vast library of research papers on geopolitical issues, as free downloads.
The June 2016 issue of OEWatch runs 63 pages. The headline is MANPADS: A Game Changer with an accompanying pastiche of stock images featuring Russian-made missile launchers.
According to the OEWatch staff list the content is prepared by Editor-in-Chief Tom Wilhelm together with Editors Ray Finch and Harry Orenstein. The magazine's layout is done by Design Editor Padric Hall. This issue's commentary is provided by 24 "regional analysts and expert contributors."
June's OEWatch is divided into nine sections. The longest is Russia, Ukraine. The shortest is Europe with a single entry. The familiar Turkey section, although brief at just three entries, hogs the spotlight with last month's news on Kurdish PKK fighters downing a Turkish Cobra attack helicopter with an SA-18 that could have been acquired from the regional black market. The incident is seen as the latest surprise in a civil war raging inside Turkey between Ankara and its Kurdish nemesis.
On page 5 is news of a Turkish base opening in Qatar that can accommodate 3,000 troops. The commentary tries to add context by mentioning how "…the United States is no longer seen as a reliable military counter to Iran's considerable strength." It's worth mentioning how Turkey's hard power is now spreading across the Arab world. Turkish troops are deployed in Northern Iraq, fighting in Syria, and training alongside the forces of Ankara's newest ally, Saudi Arabia.
Half the Middle East/North Africa section is devoted to Iran-related content. Comments on the aimless crisis in Yemen and the Syrian civil war are included as well. Likewise the Africa section is preoccupied with terrorism in Nigeria and its immediate neighborhood.
In keeping with the current theme of MANPADS the Latin America sections begins with an update on a recent cartel bust in Mexico. Among the captured arms was a decommissioned Red Eye missile launcher. A very brief comment on Venezuela's collapse is on page 18 with additional entries devoted to security issues in Central America.
Nicaragua's recent arms deal with Russia for at least 50 T-72 tanks, helicopters, boats, and SAMs is a highlight since, according to the commentary, it can upset the region's balance of power. Should the transaction be completed it also marks the biggest transfer of Russian weapons to Central America since the 1980s.
The Indo-Pacific Asia section has its usual emphasis on India's technological advances. There's a good deal on Southeast Asia as well, mostly on domestic security. Two entries, on page 25 and 29, are concerned with maritime piracy in regional waters. On page 26 is an interesting brief about a moderate Islamic movement from Indonesia called Nahdlatul Ulama.
The China, Korea, Japan section is once again a Beijing-centric treat touching on the PLA's inner workings, hyperloop technology, and counterterrorism. The Europe section is inconsequential while Central Asia offers valuable updates on regional militaries. Page 36 offers a glimpse on Kazakhstan's domestic arms industry. It explains how foreign investments and joint ventures have allowed Astana to nourish a diverse manufacturing base. This spans soldier gear, small patrol vessels for the Caspian Sea, and maybe a fleet of armored vehicles in the near future.
The Russia, Ukraine section is tremendous. Its 24 pages runs a broad gamut on relevant developments in Russia's armed forces and its technology. There are specific entries on the Russian periphery as well, i.e. the Caucasus and Ukraine.
OEWatch often runs several dozen stories in a single issue. Readers should download copies to find what's most relevant to their curiosity.

2016: A Year to Remember for the Printing Industry
How time flies! With the year coming to an end, it is time to recap 2016. Our highlight was drupa 2016, no question! Its atmosphere was inspiring. This could not only be noticed on our fairgrounds, but also all over Düsseldorf and on the internet. More than 260.000 visitors from 188 countries and around 1.900 journalists from 74 countries crowded our halls during the eleven days of the show. They came to learn about technology innovations, further developments and new business lines and, of course, to discuss and network with 1.837 exhibitors from 54 countries.
How time flies! With the year coming to an end, it is time to recap 2016. Our highlight was drupa 2016, no question! Claus Bolza-Schünemann, Chairman of the drupa Committee and Chairman of the Board at Koenig & Bauer AG (KBA) perfectly sums it up: "We were able to experience a highly innovative industry here in the 19 exhibition halls, one that has succeeded in moving out of the 'valley of tears' and grasping the future by the neck."
Sabine Geldermann, director drupa, adds: "drupa has demonstrated its global significance and its charisma with extremely high exhibitor and visitor quality. The positive climate for investment and a significant change in mood could be felt on every day. drupa has lent momentum in order to open up new market potential for the future. We are already looking forward to the continuation of this success story and the planning for drupa 2020."
#drupa2016: A Resounding Success in Düsseldorf and on Social Media
The atmosphere at drupa 2016 was inspiring. This could not only be noticed on our fairgrounds, but also all over Düsseldorf and on the internet. More than 260.000 visitors from 188 countries and around 1.900 journalists from 74 countries crowded our halls during the eleven days of the show. They came to learn about technology innovations, further developments and new business lines and, of course, to discuss and network with 1.837 exhibitors from 54 countries.
As the day for all our guests did not end when closing our gates at the end of the day, our drupacity program brought the drupa experience to the city of Düsseldorf. Be it an exhibition or 3D event, discussion forums or a "rolling lab": The city cordially welcomed interested visitors to discover the trade fair themes. For all those who had to stay at home we transferred the discussions and dialogues to social media. On Facebook and Twitter the drupa community formed a big family, that was joined by a new family member during the show: Klaus!
Every day the exhibitor who tweeted the hashtag #drupa2016 the most won this special challenge cup. Our Twitter champions made it possible that the drupa newbie had the chance to explore the event in all its facets – be it a party in Düsseldorf's famous old town or a meeting with Claus Bolza-Schünemann and Sabine Geldermann.
An Inspiring Hotspot for the Printing Industry
Since a trade fair revolves around networking we picked up our social media community at a very personal level: Every guest, who showed a post including #drupa2016 at our social media booth, got a red apple. But exchange also was among the key components of our accompanying expert events drupa cube, drupa innovation park, 3D fab + print, touchpoint packaging as well as Printed Electronics and Solutions.
Our event and congress centre drupa cube with many inspiring panels attracted 3.500 guests. Especially the keynotes of Frans Johansson, founder of The Medici Group, Silas Amos, founder of Silas Amos Ltd. Design Thought, and Shane Wall, CTO at Hewlett-Packard, were sought-after. Thanks to the Creative Day of the magazine Werben und Verkaufen our drupa cube also was a hotspot for creative professionals.
To put it in a nutshell: 2016 was a year to celebrate for the printing industry. What were your highlights and what are you looking forward to the most with drupa 2020 in mind?

Certain areas of military optical devices have been realizing the benefits of sapphire windows and lenses from Guild Optics for many years. The extreme hardness and durability of a sapphire window in front of more delicate optics has been paying dividends in the field. Our sapphire windows repel dirt and other debris without becoming scratched or dulled compared to typical glass windows.
Now there is a new crop of military optics gaining a lot of popularity. UAV's, drones, unmanned vehicles, whatever you prefer to call them, they are leading us into the future. High tech cameras and IR devices knows as Gimbals or Sensors are typically mounted to the drones in order to collect information or simply show the operator where they are telling their UAV to go. So why not just use typical glass windows as usual?
Now we know that not all drones land in this fashion, but simply even while flying, they are subject to bugs, blowing sand, and other debris that can damage optics. This is the reason that typical manned aircraft use sapphire windows to protect their EVS Systems. Alternately gimbals and sensors are being employed on unmanned vehicles such as trucks and small ground vehicles. These ROVs are put into difficult situations where cleanliness may be an afterthought. With a transmission range of 200nm – 5500nm, it seems only natural that sapphire would be beneficial to use on gimbals and sensors whenever possible.
Guild Optics is a small business located in Amherst NH. ISO certified as well as ITAR and SAM registered, they are ready to supply American made sapphire windows and lenses to the military, gimbal, and electro optical sensor markets.

John Wick is classic American action, including the cars
by Priscilla Page //
John Wick is a myth. He's Baba Yaga, the Boogeyman. Or rather, he's the one you send to kill the Boogeyman. There's something supernatural about him. He survives getting shot, beaten, suffocated, hit by a car, stabbed, thrown off a balcony. He once killed three men in a bar with a pencil. He's Rasputin, an avenging angel, like the Old Testament God. It's easy to forget that he's just John when first introduced: a man mourning his wife and "sorting some stuff out," who loves his dog and his everyman classic 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429. John Wick may be a legendary hitman, but he's still relatable.
As we eagerly anticipate John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum, which hits theatres Friday, we look back at the 2014 film that started the revenge-seeking John Wick phenomenon.
Chad Stahelski and David Leitch led long, illustrious careers as stuntmen and stunt directors before making their directorial debut with the Derek Kolstad-penned original. To become John Wick, Keanu Reeves trained for four months at stunt production dojo 87Eleven, learning Japanese and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, stunt driving, and gun-fu, which is exactly what it sounds like: a mix of martial arts and gunplay that originated with director John Woo. Reeves trained with stuntmen, SWAT, and Navy SEALs, five days a week, eight hours a day, always the first to arrive and the last to leave. The ultra-dedicated Reeves wanted to do most of his own stunts, even performing some of them when he was fevered and sick with the flu. In scenes where Wick takes on the Russian mob in a Dodge Charger and works through his grief by driving his Mustang crazily around an airport, Reeves did most of his own driving (although a professional stuntman performed the maneuver where he stops inches short of a dump truck).
During John's ill-fated first meeting with crime boss Viggo Tarasov's entitled son Iosef (Alfie Allen), Iosef wants to buy John's Mustang. John declines, and Iosef retaliates by breaking into John's house, beating him, killing his dog, and stealing his car. In doing so, he unwittingly unleashes Baba Yaga, transforming John into John Wick. The fate of John's dog, a final gift from his wife, is the real tragedy that brings him out of retirement, but the loss of his beloved car fans the flames. John Wick's ride is a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429, painted a silvery gray with black rally stripes. The filmmakers were given orders not to damage the two Mustang fastbacks used in the film, neither of which was a true a Boss 429. Its chin spoiler, interior, hood pins, and hood scoop indicate that it's more likely a Mach 1 dressed up like a Boss 429, though it lacks Mach 1 graphics. Its steering wheel is from a Shelby Mustang, and no Boss 429 had a chin splitter and rear spoiler like Wick's car.
Regardless of whether Wick's car is a true Boss 429, it's a real Mustang, a legendary movie car that's been showcased in Gone in 60 Seconds (both versions), Drive, Bullitt, Grand Prix, Diamonds Are Forever, Thunderball, Point Break (driven by Reeves himself), even Misery. It's the perfect car for John Wick, an old-school character who evokes Alain Delon in Melville's Le Samouraï (1967) and Lee Marvin in Boorman's Point Blank (1967). The Boss 429 is classic animal, with a powerful, enormous engine originally intended for racing. (There is a hint of racing nostalgia in John Wick, as evidenced by a replica of a Le Mans-winning Ford GT40 in Aurelio's shop.) Though the Boss 429 was rated at 375 horsepower, it is common folklore that it actually produced much more. It's also a contender for the best-looking Mustang ever produced.
The Mustang isn't the only beautiful car John Wick drives. When his Mustang is stolen, he picks up a new ride from chop-shop owner Aurelio (John Leguizamo): a 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6. The Chevelle's screen time is tragically limited, but we catch a glimpse when John drives home from Aurelio's and again for a few shining moments on his way to the Continental Hotel. When fellow professional (Adrianne Palicki) tries to kill Wick on the grounds of the Continental—thus breaking the rules—hotel owner Winston (Ian McShane) gives Wick a 2011 Dodge Charger SRT as compensation: "A parting gift. From the management." Despite being full of criminals and assassins, the Continental Hotel proves to be a place worth staying.
Each car's appearance onscreen feels too brief, but we spend a little quality time with the Charger. When Viggo Tarasov (the late, great Michael Nyqvist) murders John's only friend, Marcus (Willem Dafoe), John and his Dodge Charger come for Viggo and the henchmen who remain, including Viggo's right-hand man Avi (Dean Winters). The Dodge Charger arrives, leaving a trail of tire smoke behind it, then Wick proceeds to destroy everyone and everything in his path for one final showdown at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. John plows into one of the henchmen, sending the man flying over his car. Wick aims his gun and fires through the roof as the man rolls, arguably the scene's high point. Another man rolls over Wick's hood, and John shoots him when he lands. He reverses his car into a third man, crushing him behind the open door of Viggo's Chevy Tahoe (apparently the Russian mob's ride of choice). John slides into a 90-degree turn, killing Avi by hitting him sideways with his bullet-riddled ride. This is when Viggo makes his last stand, ramming his Chevy into the Charger's side. Wick crawls out of his shattered rear window to escape the car before Viggo pushes it off a sheer drop, where it meets an untimely end.
Since the filmmakers couldn't afford a proper car chase, second-unit director and stunt coordinator Darrin Prescott pitched this scene, which beautifully marries a car chase with a gunfight. At times, it feels as if John is the bull, and Viggo and his men are flailing matadors. John weaponizing his car in close-quarter fighting is an ingenious, novel solution. Because John prefers an up-close-and-personal fight, the intimacy and intensity of car-fu ultimately feels better suited to his character than a big chase.
John Wick has no fat on it—every decision made in this film maximizes its brutal impact and emotional resonance. (Credit must be given to editor Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir, who whittled this film down to its purest, most potent form.) Everything from Wick's favored fighting style to his choice of cars tells us something about the man and the myth. When John and Aurelio sit down to discuss his stolen Mustang, Aurelio pours him a drink on the hood of a '68 Charger. This nod to the old Charger before the new Charger's debut feels like a metaphor for Wick himself: an updated throwback, a myth resurrected.
Chad Stahelski and David Leitch's John Wick is an homage to classic films, graphic novels, and pulp fiction imbued with fresh, frenetic vision. It resuscitated the American action movie. In an interview with GQ magazine, Stahelski explained what shaped their style: they had no choice. "We couldn't afford all the fancy editing and fancy camerawork," he said. "The long takes, the close-quarters gun stuff—yes, those were ideas we had. But we couldn't afford not to do long takes. We had to do long takes because we only had one camera. The first guy who dies [in a fight scene] is also the last guy—he's gotta get up, run behind the camera, and come back into the shot and get hit by Keanu [again]."
Necessity, imagination, and expertise produced a mode of action filmmaking that jettisons stale genre conventions, like quick cuts and overdone editing to conceal stuntmen, shaky cam, and the belief that bigger is better—John Wick's minimal, visceral, classic style proves otherwise.

Q: Change global variable and get changed value from another .php file I'm trying to change background color with button and I can do this, but if I change the page I couldn't get the changed value of variable. Maybe this is a stupid way to do this; I don't know, but I hope it is not.
home-featured-fullwidth.php:
<?php
global $arka;
$arka = 'wall2';
$button = 'button2';

if (isset($_POST['button2'])) {
    $arka = "wall";
    $button = 'button1';
}
if (isset($_POST['button1'])) {
    $arka = "wall2";
    $button = 'button2';
}

echo '
';?>
// codes and close

<form class="padding" method="POST" action=''>
    <?php echo '<input id="iki" type="submit" name="' . $button . '"  value="Change BackGround">'; ?>
</form>

single-video-fullwidth.php:
<?php
echo '
' ?>codes and close

Hope you can help.

A: HTTP is a stateless protocol and the PHP implementation does not try to work around this. This means, that global variables are by design global only to the single request.
In short words: A variable from one PHP request will typically not be available in another PHP request.
Since your scenario is very common, the construct of sessions exist, which allow you to store a variable "in the session" and retrieve it at a later request. Read up on PHP sessions, they are easy to use and mostly good enough for single-server use.

A: Create a file with this:
<? PHP session_start();

echo "this is the first file";

$_SESSION['global'] = "From the first file";

?>

Create other file with this:
<? PHP session_start();

echo "this is the second file";

if(@isset($_SESSION['global'])){
    echo $_SESSION['global'];
}
?>

Тангале (также тангле, биллири; ; самоназвание: taŋlɛ) — чадский язык, распространённый в восточных районах Нигерии, язык народа тангале. Входит в группу боле-тангале западночадской языковой ветви.
Численность говорящих — около 130 000 человек (1995).

Тангале имеет в значительной степени развитый фонемный состав. В систему вокализма включают 9 кратких и 9 долгих гласных фонем; отмечается явление сингармонизма гласных, очень редко встречающегося в чадских языках. Для консонантной системы характерно распространение глоттализованных, лабиализованных и преназализованных согласных. И гласные, и согласные подвержены разного рода морфонологическим позиционным изменениям.
В области морфологии отмечаются отсутствие формальных различий по роду и числу у существительных; наличие форм мужского и женского рода у местоимений 2-го и 3-го лица.

Письменность основана на латинском алфавите.

О названии
Самоназвание языка и народа тангале — taŋlɛ, в соответствии с ним для языка тангале употребляется такой вариант названия языка как тангле. Распространено также локальное название языка — биллири — по наименованию одного из наиболее крупных диалектов тангале.

Классификация
В соответствии с классификацией чадских языков, предложенной американским лингвистом , язык тангале вместе с языками беле, боле (боланчи), дено (куби), галамбу, гера, герума, канакуру (дера), карекаре, кирфи, купто, квами, маха, нгамо, перо и пийя (вуркум) входит в группу боле западночадской языковой ветви (в других классификациях, включая классификацию, опубликованную в лингвистическом энциклопедическом словаре в статье В. Я. Порхомовского «Чадские языки», данная группа упоминается под названием боле-тангле, или боле-тангале). Согласно исследованиям П. Ньюмана, в пределах группы боле (или A.2) язык тангале включается в кластер языков собственно тангале подгруппы тангале, сама же группа входит в подветвь западночадских языков A. Эта классификация приведена, в частности, в справочнике языков мира Ethnologue. Язык тангале включается в группу боле-тангале подветви собственно западночадских языков также и в классификации, опубликованной в работе С. А. Бурлак и С. А. Старостина «Сравнительно-историческое языкознание».

В базе данных по языкам мира  даётся более подробная классификация языков подгруппы тангале. В ней язык тангале вместе с языками кутто и кваами образует кластер тангале-квами-купто. Вместе с языками перо и куши, а также вместе с кластером пийя-квончи кластер тангале-квами-купто отнесён к объединению языков собственно тангале, противопоставленному языку дера. Языки собственно тангале и язык дера образуют подгруппу тангале, которая вместе с подгруппой боле объединяется в группу западночадских языков A A.2.

В классификациях афразийских языков чешского лингвиста В. Блажека и британского лингвиста Р. Бленча предлагаются иные варианты состава языков подгруппы тангале и иная точка зрения на место этой подгруппы в рамках западночадской ветви языков.
Так, в классификации В. Блажека язык тангале отнесён к подгруппе языков боле-тангале, в которой представлены два языковых объединения: в первое вместе с тангале входят языки перо и дера, во второе — боле, нгамо, маха, гера, кирфи, галамбу, карекаре, герума, дено, куби и беле. Подгруппа боле-тангале вместе с ангасской подгруппой в данной классификации являются частью боле-ангасской группы, входящей в свою очередь в одну из двух подветвей западночадской языковой ветви.
В классификации же Р. Бленча язык тангале вместе с языками кваами, перо, пийя-квончи (пийя), кхолок, ньям, куши (годжи) и кутто образует языковое единство, входящее в объединение «b» (южные боле) подгруппы боле группы боле-нгас подветви западночадских языков A.

Beer and Pretzels Fudge! One of those combinations that just goes together; like peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese, and cookies and milk this is the ultimate bar combo wrapped in fudge.
Fudge Is Such A Gross Word!
I know right? It's one of those cooking terms, like moist, spatchcocking, and nut butter that sounds much grosser than its actual usage. The word fudge just feels weird rolling off your tongue, just like the phrase Benedict Cumberbatch.
Fudge and Benedict Cumberbatch. Both sound really gross but are also really sweet.
Beer And Pretzels, Though, Eh?
Aye! Today we're going to combine two things that have never been combined and see what happens. Seriously who knows what will result in the fusing of beer and pretzels. We might blow up the freaking planet.
Um. That's Already Been Done Before At Like Every Bar. Ever.
Oh yeah! Must have really blacked out last time I was at the bar.
Seriously though, beer and pretzels is one of those perfect combinations, like cookies and milk, that just compliment each other so well. Well today we're gonna take our favorite pub combo and make a decadent, dark chocolate, stout infused fudge out of it. This recipe Is a bit more complex that your standard fudge recipe, but FEAR NOT! It'll just take you longer than your average 10 minutes.
10 Minutes? But I Want It Now!
Well let's get started shall we? This recipe begins with one of my most favorite steps; buying beer. Let's all go down to the liquor store and pick up a 6-pack of Guinness Stout! You're not going to need all of that beer, but hey you can never have to much beer. While you're out, you might as well pick up the rest of the ingredients. Grab yourself a pack of 60% dark chocolate baking chips, and a pack of semi-sweet chocolate chips. You're also going to need a 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and the coup de gras, mini-pretzels.
Now for the hard part, actually making fudge, which isn't all that hard. The first step is cracking open two of those beers. Measure out two cups and bring the stout to a boil in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Boil for about 25-30 minutes, until reduced to 1/4 cup. That is literally the hardest part of this recipe.
I Measured Out 16 Ounces But 2 Bottles Is 24. What Do I Do With The Rest?
Drink it! I can't believe you haven't started drinking already! I have.
While the reduction cools, line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Leave extra parchment so you can use them as handles when the fudge is ready to just pull the square out of the mold.
Affix a candy thermometer to the rim of a large pot and heat the condensed milk, semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips over medium heat until the mixture is heated to 225ºF – 235ºF. Everything should be completely melted and mixture should be smooth. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla and beer reduction. While still warm, place mini pretzels on top of the fudge to make a grid. You should use about 36 mini pretzels (8×8).
Refrigerate the whole thing for at least 2 hours. When it's sufficiently chilled, lift the whole thing out using your handles (see helpful!) and cut squares using your pretzel grid as a guide. It's OK if you don't get a perfect grid. You've been drinking. We've all been drinking.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the beer to a boil and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (25-30 minutes). Remove from heat.
While reduction cools. Line an 8"x8" baking pan with parchment paper leaving extras to use as "handles".
Affix a candy thermometer to the rim of a large pot and heat the condensed milk, semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips over medium heat until the mixture is heated to 225ºF – 235ºF. Everything should be completely melted and mixture should be smooth.
Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla and beer reduction.
Refrigerate fudge for at least 2 hours.
HAHA I never heard that one before!
I cannot show this to my husband because he will absolutely not give me a moments rest until I've made several batches of this fudge. Shame on you attacking my thighs like that!
Whoa, I never would have thought to pair fudge with Guinness, I'm totally intrigued!
Definitely my kind of fudge! And seriously, what leftover beer?!
I love that there's 2 whole cups of Guinness in this! Yeasss!
I want this fudge and beer now! Love the pretzel topping!
This looks purely amazing!! I am going to need one of these ASAP! Also really loved reading your post – its was so entertaining!
oo yes! My husband loves beer and pretzels and I'm a giant fan of fudge! hah so this is perfect!
Man, what I wouldn't give for someone to come up with a good gluten free beer. I miss Guiness!
Sandi. I got ya, boo. Here's a link for gluten free stout.
Well, you know how I feel about boozy food, LOL! I am alllll about this, and the combo of salty sweet is the best! I love how quick this recipe is, and I can't wait to try it out! Cheers to you!
I have a bottle of Cadillac Mountain stout in the fridge with this recipe's name all over it. Love the salty-sweet combo against the richness of the chocolate. Need. ASAP.
This fudge could not sound any better! I've never thought of the word "fudge" as gross before, but now that you have me thinking… it is kind of weird! But this recipe is anything but weird. Now I want an entire pan of this fudge and a giant cold bottle of beer!
Beer and pretzel fudge sounds like the perfect combination! I didn't know I need this fudge until I saw it. Can't wait to make this recipe soon!
You should try it! It's super easy!
Uhm, this is simply amazing. I want the whole tray for myself right now. Pretzels and chocolate are my happy place.
Pretzels, beer and chocolate. All my favorite things in one perfect bite! This looks insanely good!

The Madison County-London City Health District is one more in a long list of entities placing levy requests on the Nov. 3 election ballot.
Like most of the others, the health district is seeking straight renewal of an existing levy, meaning no new taxes. The district's 1-mill operating levy expires at the end of this year. The renewal request is for another five years. The levy was first passed in 2002.
The levy generates approximately $690,000 a year, which represents a little under half of the health district's annual budget, said Mary Ann Webb, health commissioner. The remaining funding comes from grants and fees.
The levy costs homeowners $17.15 per $100,000 property valuation per year, according to the Madison County Auditor's Office. That amount would remain the same if the levy is renewed.
The health district board voted unanimously on July 13 to seek a resolution from the Madison County commissioners to place the renewal on the ballot. Board members are Teresa Ames, Dr. Katherine Binns, Linda Houser and Robin Kimbler.
On July 20, the Madison County com-missioners approved the ballot resolution.
"The health district does an outstanding job. They are a vital part of our com-munity," said Commissioner David Dhume.
"They've demonstrated efficient funds management and cost effectiveness," said Commissioner Paul Gross.
Commissioner Mark Forrest commented on the importance of the services the district provides, such as programs for children's wellness. He said those services help to prevent what could otherwise be lifelong health issues.
The health district's 2014 annual report details the agency's services. For a copy of the report or more information about the levy, contact the district office at (740) 852-3065 or stop by during regular business hours, 306 Lafayette St., Suite B, London.

Q: How can I set breakpoints in Classic ASP? (IIS7/VS2010) I have a hybrid ASP.NET/classic ASP application and I'd like to be able to set breakpoints in the ASP code. Is this possible? Running IIS7 on Win7 with VS2010 Ultimate.

A: In VBScript, the Stop statement can be used to trigger a breakpoint.
Response.Write "a line"
Stop
Response.Write "a line after the breakpoint

I'm assuming that this is a local IIS7 instance that you want to debug.  On my computer, when I try to load a sample page that has a Stop statement, I get the Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger popup.  You will need to provide administrative privileges in order to debug the page.
You may also need to enable server-side debugging in the "ASP" applet in IIS Manager, but when I checked just now, server-side debugging was set to False on my machine.

If you don't mind running Visual Studio with admin privileges (or already do), then you can also try the following:

*

*Use the "File -> Open Web Site..." command to open the site (under the "Local IIS" section).

*From the Solution Explorer, open the files you want to debug and set breakpoints.

*Start the debugger by selecting the "Debug -> Attach to Process..." menu item.  Select the "w3wp.exe" process.

*Now when you try to load a page in your browser, Visual Studio will stop at any breakpoints.

Also note that if you make changes to the pages, the changes will be saved to disk.  At work, I use VS2005 this way as my main editor for classic ASP, precisely because I can set breakpoints easily.

A third option that I haven't tried yet might be the recently released IIS Express.  It's supposed to be designed specifically for developers who don't have full admin privileges, so maybe debugging won't require an elevation prompt.  I'll update my answer if I get a chance to try it out in the next few days.

A: response.write("my value....")
response.end
;)

A: I've run into this situation a few times. This summarizes the "typical suspects". If you know of more, then please add an edit or comment.

*

*Ensure web.config has debug="True"

*Ensure that you are attaching to the correct w3wp.exe process

*Ensure that the App Pool configuration that is associated with this site in IIS has Maximum Worker Processes set to 1 (found in the Process Model section).

*Ensure that the ASP configuration for the site in IIS allows Client and Server debugging (found in the Debugging Properties section).

*Ensure that machine.config does not have retail="True" in the deployment tag. The default for this attribute is false, which will permit debugging.
-- ss

A: I am not sure anyone faced this issue or not. i have a asp.net and classic ASP mix application on IIS 7.5 with VS2010. I was following all the necessary steps to debug classic ASP, but no luck. Finally found that when we W3wp.exe was automatically getting attached and by default it gets attached with option "Automatically determine the type of code to debug" and I think in that option it was determining only managed code, not script. I changed it to explicitly select the type of code to debug and selected "Script".. and wow it worked.
One more thing it does not allowed me to select managed code and script together.

Restaurant Review: Nino's
Owner Nino Bartolomei opened the new restaurant in Pangbourne after 32 years in Reading
Paul Cassell
Nino's chocolate cake and ice-cream
When we arrived at Nino's in Pangbourne another table was just getting up to leave.
As one of the party put on his coat he broke into a broad smile and firmly shook the hand of owner Nino Bartolomei.
"Very good Nino, keep this up and you should do well," he joked, in reference to his host's 45 years in the restaurant business, a business Nino himself readily admits he cannot live without.
Having closed his restaurant in Market Place earlier this year after 32 years (because it was no longer viable), Nino opened his latest venture in Pangbourne in August.
Nino's tortellini, ricotta and spinach
When he greeted us personally at the door his passion for his businesses was clear, and he has no plans to retire, even at 72.
The Italian's latest restaurant is small but cosy, softly lit and simply decorated with framed monochrome prints of Italian life on the walls.
Nino offered us some pane all'aglio, garlic bread (£3.30), which arrives in moreish strips in
a cone shaped holder with a small dish attached with extra garlic butter.
For a starter my guest ordered bianchetti, deep fried whitebait (£5.40) in a light, golden batter, which was served on a bed of lettuce with a homemade tartare sauce which complimented the delicate taste of the fish.
I chose the sardine (£6.10), no translation needed there, which was wonderfully fresh and also served with a light salad.
For the main course, I choose the tortellini ricotta e spinaci (£9.90), a dish of pasta shells stuffed with cheese and spinach cooked with ham and cream, which was a real comforting, winter warmer of a dish.
As a side dish I added the insalata mista, mixed side salad (£2.50).
But it was dusted with paprika which took away a little of the fresh taste and crispness.
For a main course my guest chose the risotto primavera (£9.50), spring risotto made with Arborio rice, grilled chicken strips, sundried tomatoes, spinach and Parmesan cheese, with a side of zuchhini, fried courgettes (£2).
The risotto was a little watery and although quite aromatic it could have done with a touch more flavour, but the lightly battered courgettes were a great addition.
We drank a glass of light and fruity Montepulciano red wine (£4.60 for 175ml), and also a crisp Pinot Grigio (£4.60 for 175ml).
For dessert my guest chose the smooth, creamy and indulgent pannacotta (£5.10) which was served with a seasonal berry compote, and topped with a couple of huge, juicy blackberries.
I decided on the immensely calorific torta di cioccolarto (£5.10), a deliciously rich, layered chocolate cake covered in chunky chocolate sprinkles which arrived with a scoop of sweet vanilla ice cream.
With their charming hospitality Nino, his friendly and attentive staff and three chefs from Naples and Bologna, have created a tantalising menu of authentic, home-cooked Italian food and an enjoyable and memorable dining experience.
Nino's also offers a lunchtime menu including paninis, a choice of salads along with the evening starters and desserts.


Order summer-flowering bulbs now, such as gladioli, dahlias, and begonias from mail-order specialists if you want unusual varieties, or pop along to your nearest garden centre for more popular choices.
Check arches, fence posts and panels are secure after storms. Make sure the stakes on young trees are sound, and that climbing plants are securely fastened. Firm back newly planted trees and shrubs if they have been lifted by winds.
Seed sowing time begins – sow Begonia, Lobelia, Salvia, Pelargonium and sweet peas in a heated propagator.
Sweet peas sown in autumn can be potted on. Place them on a sunny windowsill, or on a high shelf in the greenhouse in as light a situation as possible to prevent them getting leggy. Watch out for aphid attack.
This is the last chance to sow seeds that need frost to germinate (native trees, shrubs and alpine plants, such as Sorbus, Cotoneaster, and Pernettya).
Don't forget to check out independent garden centres and nursery sales – you might get a bargain!
Root cuttings can be taken now. Papaver (perennial poppies), Verbascum (mullein), Acanthus and Phlox are suitable.
Lift containers outside on to old bricks, to stop them sitting in the wet.
Watch out for overwintering pests in the greenhouse/conservatory. Nooks and crannies, and the bark of woody plants and vines are prime hiding places.
Clean old pots and seed trays, so that they are ready for sowing and planting.
Monitor the water level of ponds – frosts can damage liners and concrete. If the water level drops, it may have a leak. Keep it topped up until repairs can be carried out in spring. Rake out fallen leaves or shake off those that have gathered on protective netting.
Prune apple and pear trees – at least get rid of any branch that's dead, damaged, diseased or rubbing on another one. Then spray your trees with winter wash or home-made garlic spray, which will kill insect eggs.
Mulch borders with leaf mould, compost, well-rotted manure, or even old grow bags, at least two inches thick.
Cut off old leaves of hellebores that produce flowers from ground level so you can see them. Watch out for hellebore leaf spot.
Start cutting back grasses that have been left for winter structure – the winds will have battered them by now.
During dry, mild spells, you can still lift and divide herbaceous perennials.
Inspect stored tubers of dahlias and cannas. Too damp and they will rot, too dry and they will die.
Some pots outside under eaves or balconies may need watering. Keep them moist (not too wet), and don't let them dry out.
Plant bare-root deciduous hedging, trees and roses, staking before planting, so you don't damage the rootball.
Move deciduous trees and shrubs, if the ground is not frozen or waterlogged.
Indoor forced bulbs for Christmas displays, which have finished flowering, can be left outside in a sheltered spot, to die down.
In a cold snap, place floats on the surface of ponds to keep them from freezing over – this can be fatal for fish and pond life. To make a hole in frozen ponds, hold a saucepan of hot water on the surface until melted through. Do NOT crack the ice.
If there is heavy snow, brush shrubs and conifers gently with a broom to prevent branches getting damaged. Packing the branches of borderline hardy deciduous trees and shrubs with straw and securing this with fleece and ties, will protect them from frost.

Oscar Movie Review: "Inglorious Basterds" (2009)
Movie: "Inglorious Basterds"
Year Nominated: 2010
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Running Time: 2 hours, 33 minutes
Did It Win?: No.
In this alternate version of World War II, Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) and his band of American born Jewish soldiers known as the Basterds are assembled with the sole purpose of killing Nazis. Meanwhile, a French, and secretly Jewish, theater owner named Shosanna (Mélanie Laurent) is plotting her own revenge. Her family was massacred years before by an infamous SS officer known as the Jew Hunter, Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). A young Nazi sniper hero, Fredrick Zoller (Daniel Brühl), has taken a liking to Shosanna and has convinced his Nazi commanders to hold the premier of the propaganda film based on his heroics at her theater. It is at this theater that the Basterds plan their final assault and where Shosanna plans to exact her revenge.
Quentin Tarantino is known for his intricate dialogue and his bold, stunning visuals. "Inglorious Basterds" is no exception to this. We are huge Tarantino fans and this film did not disappoint us. The way he was able to take this dramatic story and blend it with history, both deriving from true details and the ones he has rewritten for himself, along with his signature stylish visuals makes this film an absolutely entertaining and bloody treat.
Though there are many excellent parts of this movie, the performance put on by Christoph Waltz in his first major film role is the biggest standout here. He does an exceptional job as Col. Hans Landa. His dialogue delivery is absolutely tremendous and he presents his part with a fantastic mix of snark and evil. He deservedly won the Best Supporting Actor award for his performance in this film. He so sinister and yet so twistedly funny that it's really a treat to watch. We have come to love Waltz as an actor, but he seems to be 100% better than his already fabulous self when he is paired with Quentin Tarantino.
In fact, there are many exceptional performances throughout the film. Brad Pitt is in his prime as Lt. Aldo Raine, suave and dirty with a Nazi chip on his shoulder and a take-no-prisoners attitude. Daniel Brühl plays Frederic Zoller, a Nazi hero and superstar turned propaganda actor. Mélanie Laurent is the beautiful and strong Shosanna, who watched her family murdered in front of her and silently vowed revenge. Michael Fassbender is Lt. Archie Hicox, a British Special Forces soldier who works with Bridget von Hammersmark, well-known German actress turned double agent, played by Diane Kruger. Til Schweiger and many others round out a fantastic cast of characters who all play their roles well and with such a resounding conviction.
As we mentioned above, this movie is a bloody mess and there is also no shortage of unapologetic graphic violence here. A relatively quiet moment of tension quickly comes a room full of dead soldiers. Aldo "The Apache" is tasked with collecting Nazi scalps for his revenge job. Eli Roth's "The Bear Jew" has a penchant for bashing in the heads of Nazis with a baseball bat. And, of course, the end of the movie, in a fiery, blazing inferno comes an ending you won't soon forget.
Revenge and carnage go together like peanut butter and jelly, but when the two are placed in Tarantino's very capable hands, "Inglorious Basterds" becomes a manifestation of his sick and twisted yet ingenious mind.
My Rating: 10/10
BigJ's Rating: 10/10
IMDB's Rating: 8.3/10
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 88%
Do we recommend this movie: ABSOLUTELY YES!!!

Hints for better homework – Writing blog "How to"
One of the things that people often miss is the fact that the homework question has been up for some time now. That means that prior to looking at some of the things connected to it, we have to look at both sides. The first side says that the homework has to be removed, as it does not provide the features that it has to. Moreover, they think that by removing this part of a past they would give the students a chance to do the things they like and get better at them. One of the biggest arguments against these people comes from the teachers and the older generations. They tend to say that the students will not have enough time to do the things they need to know. Moreover, they consider the removing to be a wish of the lazy students, who just do not want to study. There are many smaller arguments from both of the sides, but we are going to leave it here, as there is a bigger thing to talk about. That is the fact that although some of the talks go on, we are still facing the homework every day at schools and colleges. Some of the students have problems doing it, so it is important to look at some of the common mistakes people make while doing homework. Here are some of them.
In many cases, students get their task along with some additional information. If that is a writing task they often get some kind of text to go along with the task. In some situation, they have to work on reading the text and reviewing it. Those are some genres like reflective and critical analysis essays. Both of these types of writings require the author to work along with the text and analyze it all the way throughout the work. In some of the geographical or historical tasks you have to read a piece that tells you the story and after that, you have a task on that. Some of the students who tend to always be in hurry skip the reading part in order to have more time for writing the actual text. Yet, it usually results in a situation where they have to go back in the middle of writing due to the lack of information. Therefore, try to read as much as you can before you start writing. It is even more crucial with the mathematical problems, as they require you to know the formulas and know the theory.
If you are familiar with the professional writing, you must know that there is such thing as a plan of things you have to do during your work. Sure, different people create their own plans and there is no unique solution, but generally, people try to divide the task into smaller pieces so they can do it partly, instead of everything at once. The other thing people do are the bullet points with the things they want to include in the text. Those are various facts and statistics, which are going to be the root of most of the paragraphs. The other way of planning is the time planning, which is used for mathematical tasks mostly. It says that in order to get a plan you have to try to divide your free time into parts and do the tasks this way. It allows the student to save their time by doing the tasks at the time when they would be waiting for something or just doing nothing. Therefore, take this point to your mind and use it along with the previous type of plan. Sometimes if you feel like it is hard for you to do the task, it might be useful to go to the services like the pro-papers.com/homework-help-online.
This is an important part for those who want the highest grades. The formatting is huge for your high grade in most of the colleges and schools. For example, some of the teachers might even not give you a couple points just for not circling out the answer. Sure, not every teacher is that strict on the formatting and some do not care about it at all. Yet, if you are trying to work for the highest grade it might be best to learn how to do the formatting. Moreover, for the writers, this might be crucial in times when they want to do the best at their tasks.
This part might seem as important as the previous, but in reality, it is even more important. The reason for that is simple – the students make a lot of mistakes that they do not take into account while doing the task. Some of them just do not know the fact that they are mistaking at the place. Therefore, it is crucial to do the checking of the task. Moreover, there are many ways to do so. One of the simplest ones is the vocabulary checking for the text, which is just sitting and checking your own text. That might be useful at times, but generally, this way is not that useful. Instead, you can try using the online services that do the job for you. For example, for the mathematical problems, you can always use one of the various calculators. Meanwhile, the text checking can be done via one of many text editors that show you the grammar and punctuation mistakes – https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/g4694/punctuation-mistakes/.

You may have learned the hard way that it's always good to keep your debts down to a minimum. Some types of debt, such as a mortgage or car loan, are often a necessary part of life, but others, particularly from credit cards, are best avoided or at least kept as low as possible. However, the lure of a few thousand dollars in credit and a competitive interest rate is hard to resist for many Floridians. Surely it's okay to spend a few hundred on clothing or home furnishings, and pay it off with low monthly payments, right?
A financial planner from Plantation has advised that keeping a credit card balance is a sign that you're living beyond your means, and credit card debt should only be reserved for emergencies. Reducing your consumer debt is an important step toward financial freedom, and also allows you to save more for retirement–which is something everyone should be thinking about.
It seems that many people in South Florida have been paying attention to advice like this. New data from consumer site CreditKarma.com shows a reduction in overall debt in our area, especially with credit card debt. The average credit card balance in South Florida dropped about 12 percent from last year. Overall mortgage, credit card, student loan, and car loan debt is 2 percent lower than it was in March 2012.
Reducing debt is a wise choice. It's not always easy to cut expenses, and sometimes paying down debt can be very difficult for a family facing unemployment or other financial challenges. Speaking with a bankruptcy lawyer can help people with limited options find out the steps they can take to help with their unmanageable credit card debt.


Violent crime and restaurants often seem to go together, and the last few days has seen a small rennaisance of that trend in the news. On Friday, the owner of Brooklyn's famed Lucali pizzeria was stabbed in a possible mob attack. Today the New York Times points out the role of restaurants and food in the ongoing federal testimony of Bonanno family boss Joseph "Big Joey" Massino, in the murder trial of Vincent "Vinny Gorgeous" Basciano.
The Times makes reference to some of the famed mob hits that have gone down in New York restaurants over the years -- "Carmine Galante, a cigar still in his mouth, was shot dead on the patio at Joe & Mary, a restaurant in Brooklyn; Joey Gallo was killed in a fusillade in Umberto's Clam House as he bolted for the door, only to die on a Little Italy street; and Paul Castellano was gunned down at rush hour amid Christmas shoppers outside in Midtown Manhattan" -- but there have been a lot of major crimes, many of them gang-related, in restaurants throughout the country. Here are a few of note that you may (or may not) have forgotten.
The Golden Dragon massacre, San Francisco: At 2:40 a.m. on Sept. 4, 1977, three members of the Chinatown gang the Joe Boys walked into the Golden Dragon restaurant and opened fire on the crowd. They killed five people, including two tourists, and injured 11. The attack turned out to be a botched assassination attempt against members of the Hop Sing gang, which the Joe Boys had been feuding with over the sale and distribution of illegal fireworks. The Hop Sing were there, but didn't get hit.
The Hot Spot Cafe killing, Los Angeles: This quadruple murder went down in broad daylight on April 3, 2010, when a single gunman shot four men at 4:30 p.m. at North Hollywood's Hot Spot Cafe, "which bills itself as a Mediterranean restaurant but which neighbors described as often oddly empty." The shootings happened days after a gangland-style murder in the nearby Little Armenia neighborhood, and while police didn't link the two crimes specifically, they did associate the shootinig with Armenian gangs.
Rao's Heckler Shooting, Manhattan: On Dec. 22, 2003, a neighborhood old-timer named Louie Lump Lump (Louis Barone, to the cops) shot a heckler who had complained about the singer. The restaurant had been a hot destination for downtown types who wanted a "patina" of danger, but Louie Lump Lump, who had ties tothe Mafia but wasn't made, was a regular. He told police he had brought the gun that night because of the orange-level terror alert.
The Fast Food Killer, Nashville: Not gang-related, but entirely focused on restaurants, Paul Dennis Reid's crime spree through metropolitan Nashville got him labeled a serial killer after he killed a total of seven people at three fast food restaurants in 1997. The attacks, which ranged from a botched robbery to a kidnapping and murder, targeted employees at a Captain D's, a McDonald's and a Baskin Robbins either after closing or before opening.
There are plenty more, and more well-known, instances of major violence (gangland and otherwise) at restaurants throughout the country. Feel free to add those that fascinate you in the comments.


Jungler Lucas "Santorin" Tao Kilmer Larsen has signed with FlyQuest and will start for the team at the start of the League Championship Series summer split June 16, sources close to the team and player told ESPN. The move sets a return for the 20-year-old Santorin, who was last competing with H2k-Gaming in Europe, to North America, where he has competed on-and-off in stints the last four years.
The move comes after FlyQuest finished in eighth place in the NA LCS spring split in March. By adding Santorin, the team will bench Andy "AnDa" Hoang, who was the starting jungler for the team for the majority of the spring split from January to March.
The team is also evaluating its mid lane and support positions, sources said. Flyquest has discussed using Jang "Keane" Lae-young -- who led FlyQuest Academy to win the inaugural North American League of Legends Academy League split -- in its starting mid lane position instead of Song "Fly" Yong-jun, according to sources.
As for support, sources said the team is currently deciding between several support options including former Team Liquid and Apex Gaming Kevin "KonKwon" Kwon. For the last three months, KonKwon has worked as part of Team SoloMid's support staff. He is one of the few North American resident supports who speaks both English and Korean, and FlyQuest's top laner and mid laner (even if it moves to Keane) would be Korean native speakers.
Santorin is among 10 players in professional League of Legends who have permanent residency status, as denoted by Riot Games' interregional movement policy, in another continent outside of their original home. In 2016, Santorin declared himself as a North American player and as a result, he will not occupy a foreign player slot for FlyQuest. FlyQuest's two foreign player slots are currently filled by top laner Lee "Flame" Ho-jong and mid laner Song "Fly" Yong-jun.
Santorin has been on break since he was cut by H2k-Gaming in February. Prior to his time with that team in Europe, he competed for North American Challenger Series team Gold Coin United and has previously played for North American pro squads Team Coast and Team SoloMid.
FlyQuest declined to comment on Santorin, and did not respond to requests to comment on the other roster moves.
