Q: Lagging Android Application- Xamarin My android application keeps lagging whenever i navigate from one activity to the other. I had an idea it could be the cause of large images. With respect to that, i decided to use Picasso and later switch to Glide for efficient loading and scaling of images to avoid lagging and slow performance. But it seems it none of these packages are working smoothly for me.
Since i had a thought it could be my some of my images i decided to replace all my images with a icon of size (200 bytes) and still the application lags when i moves from activity to another. When i click on the navigation drawer left, it lags for some seconds before draws fully to the left and the data appears. Obviously, the app doesn't lag when i don't perform any data call.
Looking in my log cat, this how my application is functioning. Someone please help me out to resolve this as i currently do not know where the issue is coming from.
I have 3 activities.
1) Main Launcher currently has no data in. It is only has a toolbar and the navigation drawer left
2) 2nd Activity fetches images and text from the internet.
3) Displays images(circleImageView) and text(names) of contacts
log for main launcher

2011 Oscar Nominations: Who Will Win?
Is this the year of Natalie Portman? Will James Franco get to present himself an award at the ceremony? And which biopic subject will find favor with Academy voters, Mark Zuckerberg or King George VI? TIME surveys the 2011 Oscar nominations
By Richard CorlissTuesday, Jan. 25, 2011
Buena Vista Pictures / Everett
Animated features ruled at the 2010 box office. For the first time ever, five of the year's 10 top-grossing films — Toy Story 3, How to Train Your Dragon, Despicable Me, Shrek Forever After and Tangled — were cartoons. And they routinely earned a higher level of critical rapture than their live-action brethren; Toy Story 3 was the year's most enthusiastically reviewed movie. But because fewer than 16 animated features were declared eligible by the Academy, this year's list was reduced to three entries. Following its foreign-friendly path, the animation branch ignored the Sony hit Despicable Me for The Illusionist, Sylvain Chomet's dry, artsy tribute to the late French actor-director Jacques Tati. It took the slot that Chomet earned seven years ago with The Triplets of Belleville and which is often reserved for Hayao Miyazaki's hand-drawn fables. But The Illusionist and Dragon will stand aside when Pixar wins its fourth-consecutive Oscar, after Ratatouille, WALL•E and Up.

the page on notch really needs updating. he no longer owns mojang or works there.
Remove his part of Mojang website in Biography.
"Persson has his own part of the Mojang website that can be found at http://www.mojang.com/notch" - Not anymore he doesn't. This needs to be removed. It's the second paragraph of biography.
"assets" spelt wrongly as asseSts in the part about mojang being sold to microsoft.
The 19w13a Snapshot removed all use of his name due to outrage over his transphobic comments and even attacks which he made through his social media. If this is enough to warrant official action than it's enough to warrant at least some mention here.

From beetles and butterflies to dragonflies and lice, bugs from the following orders are all good enough to eat.
Not being much of an eater of things with legs in the first place, partaking of those from the creepy-crawly family of edibles doesn't hold much appeal to me personally. But I might be in the minority there, especially when considering entomophagy from an international perspective. We may be squeamish here in the United States when it comes to binging on bugs, but people all over the world smartly consume insects. In fact, some two billion people across the globe eat a wide variety of insects regularly.

United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Robert Wiktor, Defendant-appellant, 146 F.3d 815 (10th Cir. 1998)
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 146 F.3d 815 (10th Cir. 1998) June 19, 1998
Scott M. Matheson, Jr., United States Attorney, Mark K. Vincent, Assistant United States Attorney, United States Attorney's Office, Salt Lake City, UT, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Edward K. Brass, Salt Lake City, UT, for Defendant-Appellant.
Before PORFILIO, BARRETT, and HENRY, Circuit Judges.
Defendant Robert Wiktor appeals his conviction for one count of maliciously damaging property and two counts of mail fraud. We affirm.1
Defendant was the general manager of Great Western Distributing, a telemarketing business owned by co-defendant Katherine Harp.2 On June 25, 1992, an intentional fire was set in Great Western Distributing's storage room. According to firefighters, the fire caused limited damage to a telephone system and one portion of the storage room. The sprinkler head over the fire was not functioning, and the fire investigator took the head for further investigation.
In July 1992, defendant completed an insurance proof of loss with the help of employee Cummings, claiming $239,883 in property loss, $150,000 in extra business expenses, and $80,000 in lost income. Defendant claimed the fire destroyed approximately $35,000 worth of jewelry, several leather bomber jackets worth $3,330, a painting worth approximately $2,000, a copy machine, a fax machine, and approximately $135,000 in valuable sales leads. Unigard Insurance Company issued several checks on this claim, including checks for clean up and continuing business expenses, for a total of $61,347.19.
In December 1992, employee Cummings contacted Unigard to inform them that defendant's claim was fraudulent. He recounted defendant's statements that he had set the fire using an alcohol-based solvent, and that he had "super-glued" the sprinkler head. After Cummings contacted the fire investigator with the same information, the sprinkler head was sent to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, which confirmed that it had indeed been "super-glued."
At trial, Cummings testified that defendant told him he had set the fire and glued the sprinkler head. He also testified that defendant instructed him to exaggerate the losses in insurance documents, to include items that were not in the storage room at the time of the fire, and to forge several receipts allegedly showing that Great Western had purchased the sales leads claimed to have been lost. Cummings testified to defendant's statements that the fire was very opportune, that he would make a lot of money out of it, and that they had to make it look like the business would reopen to ensure payment of the insurance claim. Finally, Cummings testified that defendant and co-defendant Harp decided to claim the jewelry and bomber jackets during a phone call; that they sold the allegedly lost leads to another company; that he helped defendant remove the undamaged copy machine and fax machine from the office; and that the painting claimed to be lost was hanging in defendant's office after the fire.
In addition, trial testimony showed the following. There was evidence that the business was in severe financial distress at the time of the fire, and that defendant had purchased a half-million dollar insurance policy twenty days earlier, expressing great urgency. An employee testified that when she checked and locked the storage room at 9:00 p.m., there was no sign of fire, and that defendant remained at the office when she left the building that evening. Several employees testified that this was very unusual. The fire investigator estimated the fire started shortly after 9:00 p.m. When firefighters arrived at approximately 10:00 p.m., they found the building locked, the storage room unlocked, and the alarm deactivated, although defendant reported he had set the alarm when he left. Defendant was one of four people with a key to the building and knowledge of the alarm code.
The fire investigator testified that the sprinkler head directly over the fire had been "super-glued." He also testified that he physically examined the contents of the boxes in which the jewelry, jackets, and painting were allegedly stored, finding nothing but burned paper. He testified that such jewelry would not have burned because the fire was not even hot enough to burn the stored plastic supplies. None of the photographs taken that evening showed the claimed items. Further, several employees testified that the sales leads in the storage room were worthless, as they were comprised of already-contacted potential customers who had not purchased anything. Finally, there was evidence that the assets and salary figures claimed in the proof of loss were significantly overstated when compared to payroll and business records. Defendant was convicted of maliciously setting the fire and two counts of mail fraud in obtaining insurance proceeds under false pretenses.
On September 19, 1994, defendant was sentenced to sixty-three months' incarceration and was ordered to pay $61,347.19 in restitution to Unigard. When defendant indicated his intent to appeal, the district court ordered the clerk to file a notice of appeal. Due to inadvertance, this did not occur. In October 1995, defendant filed a motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, seeking an appeal out of time. The motion was granted in August 1996, and counsel was appointed to represent defendant. Additional delays occurred because appointed counsel requested several extensions of time and because an incomplete record was transmitted to the court. On appeal, defendant challenges the jury instructions and the restitution order, and argued that the inordinate delay in deciding his appeal resulted in a violation of his right to due process.
Defendant argues the jury instructions were incorrect because (1) the jury was not given a cautionary instruction regarding the testimony of an accomplice, and (2) the instructions improperly defined "maliciously" to include recklessness. When reviewing jury instructions, we examine them as a whole to determine whether the jury may have been misled, upholding the judgment in the absence of "substantial doubt that the jury was fairly guided." United States v. Pappert, 112 F.3d 1073, 1076 (10th Cir. 1997) (quotation omitted). We review an instruction de novo when an objection was made at trial, and for plain error when no such objection was made. See id.
Defendant argues the district court's failure to caution the jury sua sponte regarding the suspect nature of Cummings' accomplice testimony was plain error, requiring reversal. We have held the failure to give such a cautionary instruction is plain error when the accomplice's testimony is uncorroborated. See, e.g., United States v. Hill, 627 F.2d 1052, 1053 (10th Cir. 1980). Here, however, Cummings' testimony was substantially corroborated.
Through other witnesses, there was evidence that defendant was present in the building when the fire was estimated to have begun; that his presence at that time of night was unusual; that he had a strong financial motive to commit arson; and that the sprinkler head was indeed "super-glued" shut. There also was overwhelming evidence that defendant claimed the loss of items that had not been damaged by the fire or that did not exist. In addition, the district court's credibility instructions to the jury included as a factor to be considered "the witness' interest in the result of the trial." R. I, doc. 59, Instr. 12. Under these circumstances, we conclude it was not plain error to omit an instruction cautioning the jury regarding Cummings' accomplice testimony. See, e.g., United States v. Shuckahosee, 609 F.2d 1351, 1356-57 (10th Cir. 1979) (holding when accomplice's testimony corroborated, general credibility instruction sufficiently informed jury how such testimony should be considered); United States v. Williams, 463 F.2d 393, 395-96 (10th Cir. 1972) (holding failure to give cautionary instruction not reversible error when accomplice's testimony substantially corroborated).
The district court also correctly instructed the jury as to the mens rea required by 18 U.S.C. § 844(i), which punishes a person who "maliciously damages or destroys ... by means of fire or an explosive, any building ... used in interstate or foreign commerce...." The jury instructions defined "maliciously" as follows:
You may not find the defendant guilty for acting mistakenly or carelessly. In order to find defendant guilty you must find that he set the fire ... intentionally or that he did so recklessly. To do something intentionally is to do it deliberately. To do something recklessly is to do it with willful disregard of the likelihood that damage or destruction would result.
R. I, doc. 57, Instr. 33.
The federal statute does not define "maliciously." Looking to common law and the legislative history of § 844, several circuits have held the term includes acts done "intentionally or with willful disregard of the likelihood that damage or injury would result." United States v. Gullett, 75 F.3d 941, 947-48 (4th Cir. 1996) (holding § 844(i) employs common law meaning of "maliciously" to include conduct done intentionally or with willful disregard of the likelihood of damage, finding support in legislative history); McFadden v. United States, 814 F.2d 144, 145-46 (3d Cir. 1987) (holding § 844(f) [enacted simultaneously with § 844(i) ] incorporates common law meaning of "maliciously," after examining legislative history); see United States v. Corona, 108 F.3d 565, 571 (5th Cir. 1997) (holding § 844(i) employs common law meaning of "maliciously" to include acts done in willful disregard of likelihood of damage); United States v. Sweet, 985 F.2d 443, 445 (8th Cir. 1993) (holding term "maliciously" included acts done intentionally or with willful disregard of likelihood of damage in bomb threat statute, 18 U.S.C. § 35(b)); see also Heggy v. Heggy, 944 F.2d 1537, 1543 (10th Cir. 1991) (indicating a finding that a person acted "maliciously," "oppressively," or "wantonly" includes a finding of recklessness). Applying this definition, we hold the district court did not err in instructing the jury as to the required mens rea.
Our decision in United States v. M.W., 890 F.2d 239, 240-41 (10th Cir. 1989), in which we held the term "willfully and maliciously" included knowing conduct, does not require a contrary result. Section 844(i) requires only that a defendant act maliciously, not willfully. As such, the provision of the Model Penal Code equating willful conduct with knowing conduct does not apply. See Model Penal Code § 2.02(8), at 227 (1985). If anything, the absence of a willfulness requirement indicates that a defendant's conduct need not be knowing to be punishable.
Defendant argues the district court erred in ordering restitution without considering the statutory factors set out in 18 U.S.C. § 3664(a) or defendant's ability to pay within a specified period of time. As no objection was raised, we review the court's order for plain error. See United States v. Fisher, 132 F.3d 1327, 1330 (10th Cir. 1997).
Prior to its amendment in 1996, § 3664(a) required the court to consider the financial resources of the defendant, the financial needs and earning ability of the defendant and his dependents, and any other appropriate factor. Specific findings regarding a defendant's ability to pay are not required, so long as sufficient evidence was available to and considered by the sentencing court. See United States v. Kunzman, 54 F.3d 1522, 1532 (10th Cir. 1995). Here, the presentence report contained information regarding defendant's financial status, his earning potential, his employment history, his education, and his lack of dependents. The district court clearly considered this information in adopting the report's factual findings and in finding that defendant did not have the ability to pay a fine in addition to restitution. See R. VII at 19, 22-23. The court also specified the period of time within which restitution should be made, requiring payments out of defendant's prison earnings while incarcerated, and out of his regular earnings during supervised release. We conclude the court adequately considered the factors enumerated in § 3664(a), including defendant's ability to pay within the specified period of time, and that no plain error occurred.
Finally, defendant argues that he suffered a due process violation due to the inordinate delay in having his appeal decided. In Harris v. Champion, 15 F.3d 1538, 1557 (10th Cir. 1994) (Harris II), we held that inordinate delay in adjudicating a defendant's direct criminal appeal could give rise to an independent due process violation. We identified four factors to be considered: (1) the length of delay; (2) the reason for the delay and whether it was justified; (3) whether defendant asserted his right to a timely appeal; and (4) whether the delay prejudiced defendant in relation to specific interests sought to be protected by a timely appeal. See id. at 1559. In Harris v. Champion, 48 F.3d 1127, 1132 (10th Cir. 1995) (Harris III), we held that a rebuttable presumption of prejudice arises when the delay attributable to the government exceeds two years.
Here, the delay attributable to the government exceeded two years. Even assuming the other three requirements have been fulfilled, we conclude defendant has not suffered a due process violation, as his unsuccessful direct appeal rebuts the presumption of prejudice arising from the delay. See Harris II, 15 F.3d at 1564-65 (explaining that defendant cannot show impairment of ability to mount defense on retrial, constitutionally cognizable anxiety, or oppressive incarceration, if appeal meritless).
We note that even if defendant had established a due process violation, he would not have been entitled to invalidation of his conviction. Our cases have made clear that the remedy for a due process violation caused by inordinate delay is not immediate release from custody, but consideration of defendant's appeal. Issuance of a conditional writ in state habeas cases only ensures that the appeal will be heard, it does not invalidate the underlying conviction. Here, defendant has received his remedy, as we have reviewed the merits of his appeal.
The judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Utah is AFFIRMED.
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously to grant the parties' request for a decision on the briefs without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(f); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument
Co-defendant Harp's trial was severed from defendant's trial due to a conflict of interest between defendant and Harp's attorney


recently I've been spending a lot of time in the garden. Well not so much this past week. Gosh it's been chilly!
I had a week off with my boys earlier in the month and these days they are not too keen to go out with me. So I spent a lot of time in the garden, where they did all join me on different occasions.
I've taken quiet a few photos of the work and things that have made me smile while I was out there this month.
So now I've gathered them together as a review of April in our garden. Would you like a tour?
You can see our pond in the bottom left hand corner. I've done some work getting rid of pond weed and thinning out the more invasive plants.
I don't know a great deal about growing apples and I'm hoping the fact that our next door but one neighbour has apple trees will mean it gets pollinated ok.
Moving along, In the top left hand corner of the garden we have a "Rockery" ...well that's what it was. Lots of gravel and stones and tiny plants.
Mr BM is dismayed that some bigger plants are taking over. I'm not. I feel like it needs some height here to hide the mass of fence.
At the side of the shed we have removed the old raised veg patch, which wasn't getting used. And hubby built a simple patio with old slabs we already had. it's all about recycling and making do here.
The final part of our garden is a patio near the house. It's north facing and was cluttered with all sorts of stuff. I've had a good tidy up and in the corner I've made a start on some container gardening with plants that will tolerate shade.
Would you like to pop around again at the end of may to see what's new?
after spending most of my week off in the garden... weeding, planting, digging up and dividing I was ready for a little trip on Sunday.
Mum had kindly brought me the NGS booklet for our area and one open garden immediately caught my eye.
I do seem to be a little bit obsessed with gardens at the moment, but that's not a bad thing, surely. I'm going with it anyway.
So on Sunday morning hubby, eldest and I set off to Felley Priory.
Who ever does the weeding here does an amazing job. The beds were all so well tended, full of beautiful plants, most just awaking from their witner slumber but lots looking their absolute best. If there were any weeds I certainly didn't see them.
I loved the pretty valley Felley priory was nestled in.
The gardens are open all year round, but not every day.

Yay Or nay: Bishop Nehru
Posted on July 18, 2013 by Blockhead
There are three types of kid rappers. The first is the novelty act that gets over on cuteness of the fact they are rapping children. Think Raven Simone or will Smith's stupid ass kids.
The second is a more serious rapper who is noticeably young but still graded on a curve cause they are so obviously children. Think Chi Ali back in the day or even Da Youngstas.
The Third is the type who are not judged by their age at all. They are like the minor league phenom that shows major league talent so early on, their age is secondary. Most likely, you'll be bumping their songs and then later hear their age and be like "He's 16 years old!?!?!". Think LL Cool J, L-Swift and Earl.
Today's Yay or Nay is a young rapper who is only 15. He's very much from the Joey Badass realm in terms of the type of music he's putting out. He's got a good ear for beats and definitely can rap well. Be it for a 15 year old or a 20 year old. But I wanna know what you think…Check out Bishop Nehru.
Here's a link to his mixtape:

He's got technical rapping skill that could develop into something really cool and interesting, but that probably won't due to limitations in the style he's going for. HIs actual lyrics are pretty mediocre, but I think that's to be expected for someone his age.

I was about to say "Block, you forgot one of the great example…" but I saw Joey section. I really respect Joey. He didn't sell his soul and he act like older than the other cats in the industry. I wanted to be a hater for a reason, I don't know, but I couldnt. I hope Joey doesn't change his lane. About bishop nehru. He is promising talented young fella but we have Joey 🙂
Amplejacks on July 18, 2013 at 11:57 am said:
Is he producing his own beats? I really like the style, it reminds me of some of the beats Exile would have made in Emanon, especially "Light Leak$" and "Fickle Mind$". I don't think that the lyrics are intricate enough to support the style of his flow, but I think he's got promise.
haha… you are becoming an OLD, wise man. My father always always always starts every conversation that way (while pointing at his fingers)…. "there are three reasons why war occurs…" "here are the three ways that religion controls us" "there are three types of irish music" etc.

The kid is sweet as hell already. He probably will get deeper in his subject matter as he ages. Hell, Chuck D was a grown man when PE dropped Bum Rush The Show, and look at the leap in consciousness from that album to Nation Of Millions. As far as the Joey Bada$$ thing goes, yeah, the style is the same, but it's not like Joey created that style. That's just some grimy east coast shit that goes back to Illmatic and beyond. Hopefully Joey's visibility right now opens some doors for Nehru and other MCs like this to make a resurgence in the public eye. He's dope right now, and will probably broaden his range the longer he raps. Good lookin' out Blockhead for putting me up on this cat.

I hope that his lyrics will be much less insufferable in 10 years.

It feels like a lot of people can't just enjoy the art of rapping. I listened to Light Leak$ and downloaded the mixtape, well, it's still downloading and…the kid has some serious skill. I thought it was dope and I think he can only get better from where he's at right now. I mean, like Aes said "Interesting style can often outweigh the subject", this kids style is really technical and sounds fantastic. It's like listening to a kid on a street corner playing a trumpet really well and because he wants to and loves what he's doing.
I hope this kid does really well and it would be cool to see him and Danny Brown do a track like an older, experienced dude giving advice to a younger one and kinda shooting it back, but that's whatever. I'd pair Danny with anybody. Either way, impeccable ear as always, Block.
i see why you put light leaks first. that beat is soo sick
bananaflavoured on July 19, 2013 at 4:06 am said:
I really like Light Leak$. Both him and Joey Bada$$ have beats which remind me of Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth in some way (Not sure why or in which songs, haven't listened to either of them much), which is quite nice.

2019 Kilby and Saunders Cup First Round Preview

The Cosmopolitan Soccer League is gearing up for the restart of the regular season next weekend (March 16/17) as teams look to make the final push on their respective table standings. Before that though, the initial rounds of both league cup tournaments (the John Kilby Cup and Harry J. Saunders Cup) will kick off this Sunday, March 10, with First Round matches across the city.
With team's competing from nearly every division in CSL, let's take a look at the match-ups.
John Kilby Cup
Teams with byes into the Second Round:
Doxa FC
NY Shamrock SC
Zum Schneider FC 03
NY Athletic Club
Match 1: NY Athletic Club Reserve vs Cedar Stars Academy Reserve
Sun, March 10, 2:00 PM, Travers Island
Cedar Stars Academy Reserve enters the tournament on top of the Division 1 - Reserve league table by a full two games (28 pts) over second place NY Shamrock SC Reserve (24 pts). The team, which also leads their league in goals scored (39), goal differential (25), and sits at second in goals allowed (24), last played on Dec. 9 in a win, 3-1, over Zum Schneider FC 03 Reserve.
Their opponent, NY Athletic Club Reserve, will be looking to jump start its spring campaign with a tournament win. NYACR only have three wins through ten league games this season as the defense has struggled, letting in 31 goals. Goalkeeper Marc Hartmann will need to be up to task and keep the Cedar Stars squad out of his net if his team is to advance.
The winner of this match will play Doxa FC in the next round, which currently sits at 8th on the Division 1 table.
Match 2: Beyond FC vs FC Ulqini
Sun, March 10, 11:00 AM, Laurel Hill Park Field 1
The next First Round match pits two teams currently sitting in the middle of the Division 2's South Region table. Despite sitting lower than their tournament opponents, Beyond FC started the 2018/19 season by dispatching FC Ulqini, 5-2, on Sept. 9. Beyond's Sergio Gomez, who scored three in that aforementioned game, is currently serving a suspension barring him from participating. But the team still has goal producers like Mike Lowell and Abrahim Hamami who could pose a threat to an often scored on Ulqini backline.
FC Ulqini enters the tournament with one of the strongest offenses in the entirety of Division 2 as a whole. This comes as a follow-up to the teams 2017/18 season which saw the club secure promotion from Metro Division 1 with an astounding 68 goals scored and 12 allowed on route to an undefeated, 17-0-0 record. The team went undefeated in league play last November and outscored its' opponents (FC Japan and Stal Mielec NY) 12-6. With a defense that currently sits at fourth in most goals allowed in the D2 South Region, Ulqini will need to keep the ball often and not give Beyond any chance to exploit its backline if it wants to advance.
The advancing team will play 2018 Kilby Cup winners NY Shamrock SC (pictured above) in the Second Round, which enters the second half of the season in third on the Division 1 table and in playoff position.
Match 3: Williamsburg International FC vs Central Park Rangers Whites
Sunday, March 10, 2:00 PM, Randall's Island Field 83
In the first game between two teams from different divisions, Central Park Rangers Whites (Div. 1) and Williamsburg International FC (Div. 2 South) meet as both clubs find themselves on very different trajectories. CPR White's struggling offense, tied for last in goals scored with 11, has produced zero wins for the team through 10 games. The team's biggest accomplishment this season has been being the sole draw on an otherwise perfect NY Pancyprian Freedoms' record when the two clubs played to a 1-1 final on Oct. 28.
In Division 2 South, Williamsburg International FC is currently on track to outdo its 2018 record. With a record of 5-3-1 (18 pts), and games against two bottom table teams to start the second half of the season, WIFC will be looking to shake off some rust in this First Round match. With an offense that is tied for most goals scored (32) lead by midfielder Mark Gallagher and forward John Kaddo, who combined for seven goals in the first half of the season, the team will be looking to strike early against CPR White.
The winner of this match will move on to face Zum Schneider FC 03 of Division 1.
Match 4: Hoboken FC 1912 Reserve vs Stal Mielec NY Reserve
Sunday, March 10, 1:00 PM, Laurel Hill Park Field 1
The final First Round match, two more similar teams from separate divisions face off for a chance to advance in the Kilby Cup. After its' first team secured promotion from Division 2 last season, Hoboken FC 1912 Reserve has produced a 3-3-4 record (12 pts) entering the tournament. Last season's second most productive goal scorer Samual Omosuyi is currently leading the team with three goals this season while newcomer Gianluca Ranallo sits at two goals through six games played. The team ended 2018 going 1-1-1 in its' last three games.
Stal Mielec NY Reserve sits at the opposite end of the table compared to its first team counterpart in Division 2. After finishing 2017/18 with the third highest producing offense in Division 2 - Reserve's South region, multiple team call-ups and departures have left SMNYR struggling entering the second half of the season. The team finished 2018 on a three game winless streak, being outscored 9-2 over those games. With three teams currently tied for last in the south region, a good start in 2019 could propel the squad out of the basement and into similar success as the first team (who currently lead the South Region of Division 2).
The winner will face off against NY Athletic Club's first team in the Second Round.

52 HYMN STORIES DRAMATIZED, KENNETH W. OSBECK- Paperback
Author: KENNETH W. OSBECK
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Edition: Unknown
Markings: N/A.
52 Hymn Stories Dramatized
The purpose of these dramatized hymn stories is to encourage a rediscovery by God's people of the events that underlie some of the great hymns of our spiritual heritage. To help Christians "sing with understanding," Ken Osbeck has researches the history of many of our favorite hymns to discover what was happening in the lives of the writers at the time they were written. Beginning with "A Mighty Fortress" and concluding with "Wonderful Grace of Jesus" in dramatic form, Osbeck tells the stories behind such well-known hymns as "Amazing Grace," "Because He Lives," "Great Is Thy Faithfulness," " How great Thou Art," "O for a Thousand Tongues," and many more.
Calling upon anywhere from two readers to six or seven, Osbeck uses the format of a brief drama to reveal the salient facts behind the writing of 52 of the hymns we love to sing. With these brief sketches a song/worship leader can periodically feature a particular hymn by giving an interesting and informative presentation of its meaning and background. Using other people in the sketches a song/worship leader can periodically feature a particular hymn by giving an interesting and informative presentation of its meaning and background. Using other people in the sketches encourages participation on a larger scale. Here is a book that will enhance and enrich worship services and Sunday evening services alike.


Iliriana Bisha Tagani, MD answered this What Is An Ingrown Nail, And How Is It Treated?
I have really painful big toe and I think I have a ingrown toenail. It's really painful for the last two days and I have a red area around my nail- I can't even wear shoes. My sister says I'll have a surgical removal of my ingrown toenail. Is that true? Is any other option possible? How does removal of ingrown toenail look like?
Doctors always try the path that is not surgical. That red area is a swelling that usually comes with an ingrown toenail. I can't tell for sure, but I also think you'll have a surgical removal of ingrown toenail. Don't worry- this is not a big operation- it lasts only 1 hour and you are given a local anesthesia The operation is not painful- the most painful part is the injection of the local anesthetic, since injections into toes or fingers are painful due to the tight skin and many nerve endings.
The procedure will last less than a hour. The doctor will put nail up and cut along the toe's edge, where the skin is growing into the skin and that way remove your nail. Doctor shall maybe use a chemical to prevent the nail from growing back in the same area. Don't worry for the toe- another one will grow in a two months period.
You shall need a ride home! After you come home and when local anesthesia abate it might hurt, but if you lift your leg or at least put it at the same high as your sitting/ lying body it should stop. Otherwise use analgetic, which will relieve pain and that must help! I am certain you'll be given antibiotics in order to reduce possibility of infection. After the surgery you shall have to do the dressing for about two weeks… the stitches shall be removed after 10 days and 2 weeks after the operation you are not supposed to do any strenuous activities or at least limit them. You are not supposed to wear high- heel or uncomfortable shoes. In the future trim your toenails straight across and do not pick or tear at them, since that may increase the possibility of an ingrown toenail again.
I also had ingrown toenail removal and it is not painful and in a few days you'll be completely on your feet.
Good luck with your ingrown toenail removal!
Yes you have to get it trimed or removed. I have had that problem all my high school life because of football. I just got both off my nails removed today and the after effect is horrible if you know someone that knows what to do if or protect the big toe PLEASE reply.
guy right above me u can buy these things for you toes that are like capps that keep the pressure off your toe. I also have an ingrown tonail usually i just cut near it and pull the rest of the nail out. This hurts but its worth it.
I always cut mine out myself. It's not that big of a deal really. Unless of course you let it go for a long time.
Yes for the past month I have had a very painful ingrown toenail on my two big toes of each foot. They were getting really bad and thought I would need sugery to remove them.
Soak your feet in a warm tub of very salty water for about 10 minutes. Dry your feet well and pull off a small section of a cotton ball and roll it into a tiny ball. Although it is very painful at first, try to shove to cotton wool under your toenail which is ingrown. No need to put it under the entire nail; just the corner where it is painful. Yes this does hurt a lot, but leave it about 5 minutes and you wont even notice it. If it still is hurting under the nail after about ten minutes take and a make the cotton a smaller piece; you may just have been trying to shove too much under there.
Do this before bed and sleep with the cotton wool under your toe nail. Repeat this every night for about three weeks until your toenail will have grown out and will no longer be ingrown. This really works! Try it, you will be amazed. Good luck with your toes as I hope this remedy works for you like it did for me.
I've been having bad issues with ingrown toenails for the past two years. Originally when I gotten them taken care of, my family doctor took care of them... well, a med student. After 13 tiny shots of lidocane, he removed the ingrown part. The problem came back a month or so later. This left me with a really bad experience.
When the problem came back, after a lot of procrastination, I called a podiatrist to resolve the issue. I had both of my big toes done on separate visits. The lidocane (numbing) shot was extremely painful. It was already mentioned it would be because of tight skin and many nerves. It was enough to make me cry out in pain... but it was worth it at the time. She did a shot on each side of the toe going all the way down. Unfortunately, my ingrown toenails came back about 5 months later. I know it wasn't due to the way I was cutting the nails, because it started at the base of the toe as the nail was growing, and grew up.
Now I'm really scared. I already know how the numbing procedure feels, so I'm terrified to go back. But this time I am going to request both of my big toenails removed. I never want to have to deal with this again. How different is the procedure? Is it any more, or less painful? How will my toe be after the procedure with that lost protection?
I have had ingrown toenails on both sides of both big toes. Cutting the lateral or medial nail edge to the matrix and pulling that portion out was shortlived in that the nail edge came back and grew in again. I think they were probably too bad for cotton pledgets etc. I had a bad experience with podiatrists and doctors in general (both good and bad really, but I'm wary-go to someone who's done it a lot and has invested in good equipment if applicable to do the job better is my feelings and this is case in point). One podiatrist trimmed my toenail when I was there very short on the other side causing it to become ingrown too (granted I clearly have a predisposition-I think them being a little too wide and curving in more on the edge, but cutting the nail too short is a known cause and definitely caused that problem). I then made the mistake of randomly picking someone out of the phone book, a podiatrist, without a recommendation (didn't even try a hospital referral line which might be helpful if word of mouth or internet aren't), someone who was clearly very young and likely not very experienced (I had bilateral ingrown toenails then on one foot) who told me that if he trimmed the nail back to the matrix on each side of the toe separately it would cause an "unstable nail plate." I think now that must have been total extemporaneous bull. I've even seen treatment of a toe with both edges ingrown exemplified that way in a recent dermatology textbook by taking down both edges to the matrix while leaving the center portion of the nail alone. Unfortunately I relented. That nail I think, it being years later, is now ruined-very thick, hard like rock, Augly, fungal culture negative and nonresponsive to lamisil and sporonox and painful-still digs in on the sides and hurts when pressure is applied. I attribute it to damage to the cuticle. When I later had ingrown toenails to the other side each side was cut down and the matrix ablated with laser. That has worked fairly well. The nail probably could have been left a little wider to make it more cosmetic and still have worked I bet, but it functions just fine and looks almost normal except being just a little narrower than one would expect, my big toenails having been wider than most peoples' nails prior to that. So that is what I would suggest. I don't think one should have their full nail pulled or they risk damage or fungal infection (and those also do not have a good cure rate with antifungals) I remember one other guy having both big toenails pulled off and they grew back horribly when they were normal before too. Minimally invasive I say. If a procedure may be needed go to someone who has the experience and the equipment to do a job you'll not likely regret having elected. Phenol might be OK to kill the nail matrix edge, but I suspect there is less risk in damaging more of the nail than desired and more reproducibility with the laser matrix ablation. That I suppose is a question for someone who has used both extensively.
For those of you who are younger and scared, take it from me, if you've been walking around with shoes pressing down on ingrown nails for years, or if you gasp every time your foot bumps into something, the surgery is worth it! The numbing shots do hurt, but that part only lasted about 30 seconds.
I actually had to go back and get my right one done again today... still worth it. It's been 9 months since the last time I had the surgery done and the left one is coming along fine, but I'd do it every 3 months if I had to, because my feet feel SO much better all the time.
Besides how much better they feel, you also should keep in mind that a persistent infection (even if it's just from ingrown toenails) can be extremely dangerous, and if you don't get it treated there could be serious complications.
Good luck, try not to worry too much over it, and just do it! For me, it felt better immediately after the surgery -- the pressure that I had felt in my toes for years was gone.
