arquebus was the firearm of the day and a precursor to the musket. Snipers were able to consistently hit their targets.

3. Artillery/cannon were the main weapon used in sieges and siege defense, as well as naval engagements. The Ottomans were the best in the world when it came to siege craft and tactics.

4. Navies depended on slave labor for rowing galleys. Slave labor was the limiting factor in most naval efforts. Both sides used slaves to run their galleys, the Ottomans in particular. Both the Christians and Ottomans would raid the other's coastal towns and grab civilians as slaves by the hundreds, occasionally thousands. Christians in coastal Mediterranean towns lived in constant terror of being captured and never seen again. Galley slaves were considered disposable. When one became too weak to be useful he was just cut free and cast overboard. Both sides were guilty of brutality and use of slave labor. Galleys were so foul from human waste and more that they could be smelled as far as two miles away (slaves were expected to do their 'business' while chained to their rowing benches). On occasion, perhaps once/year they would be intentionally swamped then righted in an attempt to rinse them out.

It's days like today that leave me fighting an irresistible urge to run to the car and drive as far away as possible.

I know that it won't solve my problems, unlike my father who leaves every time there is any indication of strife. They will still be there when you get back and will probably be worse upon your return. I don't believe in kidding myself about most things in life, although I also recognize that it's an invaluable coping mechanism at times.

I finally shared the troubles of my living situation with my siblings back in March. My sister seemed receptive but she lives four hours away so she is in effect running from the problem in a different manner. Then she found out she was pregnant the next month so I was once again delegated to my perpetual position on a back burner.

My brother's reaction still burns a fresh hole in my sense of decency in the world every time I think about it. It took a lot of courage for me to share with him why I am where I am today. I know he sees me as an inexperienced and naive person, and as such it's hard for him to take seriously anything I say.

He asked me why I didn't move out. I realize he lacks the same level of life experience that I have, so I chose to ignore the irrationality behind this statement (or the keen resemblance to my father's lifelong solution to any problem). My brother also disappointed me when he adopted an I-told-you-so attitude to my complaints.

Every teenager is resistent to his or her parents' rules and demands. Parents are old-fashioned, and I have seen my brother roll his eyes on many occasions at things our parents say. This is typical and not an immediate cause for concern. The problem was he acted superior to me: I was voicing legitimate concerns about our mother's mental condition and how it affects her behavior, and all he heard was that I didn't agree with what she said. He was agreeing with me in that he perceived I was saying our mother is stupid, and he was also insinuating that he'd had this figured out a long time ago. Geez, how could I be so naive?

The worst part of that afternoon was when he just looked at me with a blank and uncaring stare. I don't remember exactly what I'd said, but any compassionate person would have responded with words of condolence and offers to help if there was any help that could be given.

I know he's not an uncaring person. The problem is that his friends are his family: and his true family are just thorns in his side. I think it would be more excusable if he was simply a cold person, but he's not. He used to get upset if I stepped on an ant. But to be confonted with the idea that I just don't matter enough to him for him to give a damn hurts almost as much as his carelessness when he killed my dog. I was looking to him for moral support, and he abandoned me.

This is not solely my problem, but all three members of my immediate family have chosen to let it fall to me. I'm a strong person but no one is that strong. This has been going on since I was a teenager, and it's wearing thin on me.

Now my brother announces he's moving out. I'm surprised at how little it's effecting me on a social level. He's never home so it's not an issue of spending time with him. It's just that he's committing the final abandonment; he's letting me know how little he cares.

I know this may sound selfish and petty. I don't expect him to live with our parents forever. But he has an obligation as the male of the household. Even that is a laughable statment, as I do all the manual labor around the house. I do all the yard work, I move furniture, and I even wash my brother's laundry (oh, he doesn't have time!).

I think I'm also being confronted with the idea that everyone else is an adult and has their own lives except for me. I'm trapped: I can't see any out for me in the near future. The paradox of the situation is that half the time I'm expected to be the adult and make all the decisions and do the proper things because my mother cannot or will not. The other half I have to defer to her so that her anxiety isn't set off. I also have to be available 24/7 so I have no privacy or social life. If I go anywhere I find myself practically asking for permission, in that I have to sync my schedule with my mother's. Most of the things she does she cannot do alone, and every time she goes to see a doctor or a dentist she has convinced herself she has to take her rescue anti-anxiety meds. Side effect: sleepiness. I have to drive her to every appointment and drive her home to ensure she doesn't fall asleep at the wheel (again, that is).

So you see I am not even allowed to get a job, as no employer would keep me around for very long with such little freedom. Even when I did work back in 2003 (yes, that was the last time I had a real job) I found myself calling a lot and having to leave early or come in late, or not work at all.

I see my friends getting married and having kids and pursuing their dreams. There are few words to describe how hard that is. The worst part is how I feel the outside world perceives me. People expect you to be successful and go after what you want. It may not happen, but at least you tried. I must look to everyone to be the biggest loser and most laziest person who ever lived.

My mother's biggest concern is keeping up appearances, and due to this I have tried not to let what I think others are thinking rule my own life. It rules hers and it rules mine by proxy through her, but I refuse to let it take over my life. That's why my mom is where she is now. She won't ask for help from professionals who could help her, and she has convinced herself that she doesn't have a problem. I have been a convenient accessory to this charade, as I've been available and willing to help. I blame myself for a lot of it, in that we try to do what we think will help those we love.

She used to work at getting better. She went to therapy for several years and confronted her fears. As her family, we were told to try to take all the stresses and pressures from everyday life off of her so she could concentrate on getting better. That works for a short period of time, but it's been continuing for at least eight years. It doesn't work forever and I am cognizent of how I have contributed to her present condition and how it has affected my life.

So I truly have no room to complain as I've brought a large amount of this on myself. I took on the responsibility because I sincerely wanted to help, but no one else has helped one iota. Maybe I created such a perfect fascade that they truly didn't realize any effort was necessary. It certainly is easier to pretend that everything is okay as long as someone else is taking care of things.

I can't help but feel selfish for resenting my sister, brother and father. I tend to make excuses for everyone but myself, but I also know that I'm entitled to feeling like I've been shafted. Sometimes I honestly also wonder if it's all in my own head.

It stings even more on days like today, when my mother said that she had done everything she could to make me happy, and she felt like I was unpleasable. This is the same woman who told me on Friday that we shouldn't get in a car and go anywhere together because every time we do we have an argument. Not two days later the four of us went out to eat for a late Father's Day meal. I had to take my own car because I was going to school afterwards, and my brother and my father got in my dad's car. My mother opened the passenger door of my car, and I had to put my purse and backpack in the back seat. She made a big deal about me having to move my stuff, and I simply said that I didn't think she'd ride with me because she said we shouldn't get in a car together. She picked up her stuff and said "I can't believe you just said that to me," and stomped off to ride with the males of the family.

I very rarely open my mouth and say anything that will set her off. The irony is that I live in my parents' house and I don't pay rent. I have an obligation simply based on the fact that I am allowed to live here. But at the same time if I left I can't even imagine what would happen to my mother. And then it would be all my fault, of course.

So everyone else is leaving me. I can only forsee both my parents' declining in health as they are in their sixties already. I truly don't know if I can handle all this: I'm barely holding myself together now. For the past year or so I've had so many cognitive difficulties, as I know I've discussed before. This is the main reason for my own self-doubt, as I wonder if my problems with my mother are all in my head. I honestly believe I have an endocrine problem, but based on my symptoms my doctor wanted me to see a neurologist first. Three months later I finally had an appointment, which was hurried and rushed, I might add. Then I had to wait six weeks for a test to be scheduled. That will be in a little less than three weeks. Meanwhile I'm keeping all this secret from my parents.

My mother truly does freak out if she things something might be wrong with me. I know she tells herself it's because I'm her child and she loves me (and I'm not disputing that), but an even bigger factor might be that I'm her caregiver. I'm her lifeline. If something happened to me, what would she do?

I can't even focus on trying to figure out what's going on with me because of all the secrecy. I hate lying: and I'm not a good liar either. If you'd asked me a few years ago I would have told you my mother was one of my best friends. We had an open relationship, but unlike she probably thought it was mostly due to necessity on my end. I have no other social networking, and no one else to share my woefully boring life with. She also has to know where I am and what I'm doing 24/7.

I don't see any out for me. I'm going to be in for a rude awakening when my parents are dead and I'm confronted with the first real taste of freedom I've ever had. I'm getting to the point where I don't even know how to relax or unwind. I've never taken a vacation in my life, and you can forget the escape of alcohol because then I wouldn't be available for my mother if some crisis arose.

The worst part is I feel like I'm being condemned to live a life alone. No one will want to marry a 40-year-old child. I can't date now and even if I did guys would drop me in a minute after they found out not only did I live with my mother but that I can't just get married and pack up and leave. I'm embarrassed to admit that I feel so grateful that I'm allowed to go back to school.

It's a mess, and no one can understand. The ones that could choose to run from the situation, and I can't say that I blame them.

I know she tells herself it's because I'm her child and she loves me (and I'm not disputing that), but an even bigger factor might be that I'm her caregiver. I'm her lifeline. If something happened to me, what would she do?

I can't even focus on trying to figure out what's going on with me because of all the secrecy. I hate lying: and I'm not a good liar either. If you'd asked me a few years ago I would have told you my mother was one of my best friends. We had an open relationship, but unlike she probably thought it was mostly due to necessity on my end. I have no other social networking, and no one else to share my woefully boring life with. She also has to know where I am and what I'm doing 24/7.

I don't see any out for me. I'm going to be in for a rude awakening when my parents are dead and I'm confronted with the first real taste of freedom I've ever had. I'm getting to the point where I don't even know how to relax or unwind. I've never taken a vacation in my life, and you can forget the escape of alcohol because then I wouldn't be available for my mother if some crisis arose.

The worst part is I feel like I'm being condemned to live a life alone. No one will want to marry a 40-year-old child. I can't date now and even if I did guys would drop me in a minute after they found out not only did I live with my mother but that I can't just get married and pack up and leave. I'm embarrassed to admit that I feel so grateful that I'm allowed to go back to school.

It's a mess, and no one can understand. The ones that could choose to run from the situation, and I can't say that I blame them.

hey, i finally found a bob dylan record that i like all the way through. it's the soundtrack to "pat garrett and billy the kid", a sam peckinpah film from 1973. i've been really into peckinpah films lately. this one has lots of slow motion death scenes, as usual, and gratuitous whisky imbibement, and naked rita coolidge. also, naked kristofferson and naked james coburn and several other naked ladies. it's a fine film. but the soundtrack really shines in this film, humming along to all those spare, dusty southwestern landscapes. i like the soundtrack format, with several versions of the same song done over for different scenes, some nice instrumentals, and lots of moody background vocals. also, i didn't realize that the song "knockin on heaven's door" was about the death of Slim Pickens! he was one of the coolest actors ever. it's a really sad scene, and that song really works well to emphasize the fire of life going out of his sheriff character.

here's a good quote from screenwriter Rudy Wurlitzer about the filming of this movie:
"Sam Peckinpah was drinking alone in his bedroom and staring at himself in a full-length mirror. He turned to Dylan and said, "I'm a big Roger Miller fan myself. Not much use for your stuff." Dylan seemed okay with that, in fact I think he was excited by it. Of course, Sam was holding a pistol in one hand and a bottle in the other.

Funerals - Eastern Star Service




In this article we're going to briefly discuss an offshoot of the Masonic service, one for women called the Eastern Star Funeral Service.
The Eastern Star organization is an offshoot of the Masons for women. The reason for this is that a woman can't become a Mason. The buy viagra reasons why, at least for this article, are unimportant. However, there is an organization for women who want to be a part of the Masonic community. That organization is the Eastern Star. The only requirement for becoming a member of the Eastern Star is that the woman has to be the descendent of a Mason. Yes, there is a catch. Your father or grandfather or husband or somebody in your family has to be a Mason himself. If this one condition is met and you then become a member of the Eastern Star you are then entitled to an Eastern Star memorial service.
So how does one qualify for an Eastern Star funeral service? Well, when a member of the Eastern Star in good standing, dies, they are entitled to this service. Good standing means that their dues are paid up in full and have no Masonic charges filed against them.
When an Eastern Star member dies the chapter to which they belong sends a floral arrangement to the funeral home. This arrangement is in the shape of a five order viagra pointed star and with the mystical alternative to viagra colors of the order.
Before the actual service generic viagra takes place however, the members of the chapter meet at their chapter building for what they call a draping ceremony. At this ceremony their alter is draped in black and a special opening of the chapter is then performed. This is, in many cases, done just once during the year to commemorate all the members who have died that year. After the draping at the chapter the members viagra then proceed to the funeral home.
At the home there is a special Eastern Star service. It is very similar to the Masonic service in some respects but very different in others. For one thing, where the Masonic service is memorized, the Eastern Star service is read from what is called a book of ritual. This book contains the entire Eastern Star funeral service and must be read word for word.
In a Masonic service one person cheap viagra does the reading, but in an Eastern Star service there are many readers. The readings are done by various members of the fraternity who occupy specific stations as officers. Each officer reads a part assigned to their station. Each individual part is rather short but putting them all together the actual service can run 15 to 20 minutes.
After the service is over the members of the chapter pay their final respects to the deceased and process out of the funeral home room. Afterwards they will meet with the family and friends of the deceased, many who are probably Eastern Star members themselves of other chapters.
The Eastern Star funeral service is one of the most beautiful services of any kind that a person could attend. It is something of which the order of Eastern Star can and should be very proud of.


How To Move House




Moving house is one of the most stressful life events. When I first came to London I had about twenty addresses in three years. After the first few moves I got pretty good at it. I had to! Here's what I did:
1. Pack well in advance
It used to drive me wild how some people in our house left it until order viagra the last minute. The result was they'd still be going back and forth from the old place, to the new, days later, for the last pot plant or bit of cutlery.
Make up your mind that you are quitting this house for good, then don't stay a minute longer than you have to. Otherwise you'll be wasting time that could be more profitably spent doing something else.
2. Put small things into a large container.
This saves multiple trips. Sturdy medium-size boxes are a life saver, as they can be stacked easily.
3. Containers should be light enough for one person to lift.
Some people try to fill up a big box with books, for example. The result: no one can lift buy viagra it, or worse, it's just light enough for someone to try lifting it alternative to viagra, and put their back out.
4. First to go in, last out.
You'll be putting the carpets down first, presumably, so they should be last into the van. If you're super organised you can decorate the new house 'on the fly'. Otherwise, put all your stuff in the smallest room in the new place, and then move it about from there, when it's all moved in. This stops the need to move stuff between rooms later.
5. Leave behind what you don't need.
If you've always hated the sofa, leave it behind. Some people have a curious pack-rat mentality; they love to hoard. If what you're hoarding is not gold or jewels, but jam-jars and newspapers, leave them behind.
6. Hire a big van with a big man.
This should really be the number one tip. The idea of a big van is that you'll make fewer trips, ideally only one. Some people try to save money by using their cars, or a friend with a mini van. The result: umpteen trips stretching over days. You get cheesed-off, and so does your friend. Instead of decorating your new place, you're still half-in the old one.
Moving house is very stressful. Get it done as quick as you can. Hire the biggest generic viagra van you can find.
7. Many hands make light work.
After you've hired the big van, get as many friends as you can involved in the move. If you're really organised cheap viagra, you can move house in half a day. I did this once, to the great surprise viagra and gratitude of the van driver we used. He'd been expecting a day-long slog.
8. Mark parking space for your van.
Cordon off enough parking space for your van driver, so he can park next to the house.
9. Cancel the utilities.
Bit of an obvious one, really. You don't want strangers running up bills in your name. Let the utilities know the date you're due to move out.


Nike Basketballs




Nike, unlike order viagra Wilson or Spalding, does not create equipment exclusively for basketball. For this reason, Nike basketballs are not quite as popular among basketball pros and aficionados as the Wilson or Spalding. Basketball professionals may not quite swear by Nike balls, but they still have their own fan following, owing partly to their wide variety in snazzy designs and colors.
The Nike NBS 200, for example viagra, is thought by many to be the best indoor basketball. It has a soft core that creates a bounce delightful to the basketball buff, especially on smooth, synthetic indoor courts. It is light alternative to viagra and soft, and many players love the �throw� it affords. But the NBS 200 is not considered as durable as the Spalding basketball, since it loses it�s bounce after a few weeks of constant use.
What is good about Nike, though, is the sheer range cheap viagra it offers when it comes to colors and designs. Go to a website like Amazon buy viagra.com, and it becomes clear at once. The Nike 1000 All courts Pearlized model is silver, with a shiny mirror-like surface. It is a good training ball, although not recommended for league matches or rough play. That does not stop basketball lovers from purchasing it, owing to it�s flashy looks. Amazon retails it for $23 (size 7). The Nike Lebron James All Courts basketball, on the other hand, is available in a combination of three colors: red, black and white. It sells for $25 on Amazon, though the price varies depending on the website and retailer.
The Nike 2000N Touch has a smooth, shiny appearance and retails for $40 on websites like SportDepot.com. The Nike Cage Grip, as the name suggests, has a meshed appearance, facilitating a better grip. SportsDepot retails it for $24. The Nike Shatter is available in a combination of three colors: red, white, and blue or black, red, and yellow. It has a rough appearance, owing to a grainy synthetic leather surface. It is good for both indoor and outdoor play, and costs around $30.
Nike also manufactures basketballs for outdoor play, like the Nike 1500. It is available in men�s (size generic viagra 7) and women�s (size 6) NBA recommended dimensions.


Public Speaking: Self-Effacing Humor




Self-effacing humor, or making fun of yourself is quite a contrast. It is a very powerful form of humor that gets its strength from highlighting your weaknesses. It seems that people who have the ability to laugh at themselves in just the right amount during a public speaking engagement are perceived as secure, confident, strong, and likeable.
With this type of humor, a little goes a long way. If you overdo it during a public speaking engagement, you will look like a doomsayer who is always putting yourself down. If you can't bring yourself to use any self-effacing humor, you should learn. I must generic viagra be candid here. Most people hate to deal with a stuffed shirt. Unfortunately, if you can't poke a little fun at yourself, that is the way you are perceived.
I think the reason self-effacing humor works so well is that weak people feel the need to inflate themselves and powerful people don't. If you have the confidence to tease yourself, you are indirectly sending the message to the audience that you are secure and powerful. Most audiences can see right through speakers who are trying to puff themselves up. It turns them off quickly.
The person who is not afraid to tease him or herself is the one who makes the greatest connection with the audience because everyone in the audience has embarrassed themselves or failed at something at one time or the other. If you use self-effacing humor, the audience knows that you, as the presenter, know how it feels to fail. That is a very powerful magnet.
Katharine Rolfe, President viagra of The Lighten Up Club, takes self-effacing humor one step further. She says, 'I call it self-appreciating humor because it conveys a positive appreciation of ourselves as humans who are simply out there doing our best and bumbling along as we go.' Katharine's organization believes the key to a happy life is the ability to laugh at yourself, for then you are never without a source of amusement.
Unless cheap viagra you are a Don Rickles type presenter (known for his hockey puck teasing style of humor), you should never set yourself up as superior to the audience either socially, financially, or intellectually. You want the audience to accept you as one of them. Let them feel superior to you in some way. Your audience would rather hear about the time you fell on your face, rather than the time you won the race.
That is why self-effacing humor is great during speaking engagements. The audience likes the fact that you openly admit your weaknesses. They laugh, but they still respect you because you are self-confident enough to joke about yourself.
There are any number of things you can tease yourself about. Your physical appearance is good if you are especially tall, or short or fat or bald. Just make sure that the physical appearance is obvious to the audience. If you are disorganized, you could tease yourself about that. If you can't parallel park, you could tease yourself about that. Just about anything will work as long as you are the target.
What you want to avoid teasing about is any subject that has a direct tie to your credibility. For instance, if you were a nuclear control room technician, you would not want to joke about the time you pushed the wrong button. But, if you got fired from your job as a nuclear control room technician for almost pushing the wrong button, then this fact might be buy viagra a good topic for humor. It could turn into a great topic if you now own a landscaping company or are in some other non-threatening position.
To use self-effacing humor, you don't necessarily have to joke about yourself. You can make fun of your family background, your profession, or anything else that directly relates to you. I tell a story in my presentations about the time my mom came from our very small hometown to visit me in the big city of Washington, D.C. The audience hears about how small Claysville is and that my mom's house is way out in the sticks. We didn't have city water, or city sewerage, or cable TV. I then go on to tell how we took a trip on the Spirit of Washington for a dinner cruise and went sightseeing all over the capital. Here's how the end of the story goes:
"When we got home that evening I was exhausted, so I told mom I was going to bed and that I would see her in the morning. She said, "OK. I'm just going to watch the news and then I'll go to bed." I got up at about 2:00 a.m. and there was mom sitting in front of the TV. Her head was nodding and drooping. I said, "Mom. What are you doing?" She said, "I'm just waiting for the news to be over." Well she would have waited a long time because she was watching . . .CNN 24 hour alternative to viagra headline news."
In this story I was not directly teasing myself. I was teasing about my small town background and about the innocent and funny boner my mom pulled when she came to visit.
Former president Ronald Reagan was a master at using self-effacing humor. In his bid for the Presidency in 1980 his age appeared to be his biggest obstacle. He attacked the problem with self-effacing humor. He would joke about his age all the time which turned age into a non-issue. He told a group of reporters order viagra once, 'Thomas Jefferson once said, 'One should not worry about chronological age compared to the ability to perform the task.' . . .
