Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Dependable Don - So what holsters do you run with your fanny pack? I got the qilo prison wallet which is Velcro backed so crossbreed has holsters that work but not crazy about it. Switch to a blapha or are Velcro backed holsters acceptable? Adam W - I am looking for a red dot that can stand up to a .357 magnum Chippa Rhino. I have put 2 other dots on it I had laying around and now I just want one I don't have worry about. I was thinking the Judge XL from Gideon. Would this be a good choice? The use case for this gun is local matches and range toy. Also, I am looking for a holster for this setup. The Chippa Rhino is the 60ds model with the pic rail in front of the cylinder. Your help is much appreciated. Scanks Adam Luis G - I am in Florida and do a lot of lake bank fishing. What would be a good caliber to carry and what type of rounds to use against alligators? Should I run a couple of snake shot rounds first for moccasins then the gator rounds? Jack B - Matt diniman just did a kickstarter campaign where 2 of the reward tiers included getting killed in a future DCC book. If you were get this prize for another cast member, which option would you choose and how would they die? Option, They are a crawler who gets killed. Option 2, They are a monster or NPC that gets killed by Donut and T-bagged by mongo. Ny(e)gerski - "This one is mostly for Mr. Saggins. Scroto, what are you signed up to hunt this year? I feel like we haven't had any 47 minute long hunting stories in a while and are due for one or 2. P.S.....are you sure you and Kevin from Q aren't kindred spirits?.....I can't tell who tells longer hunting stories... Pee Pee S.....i had something for here, but forgot....and now got you to say pee pee...." Eli K - I am building a new house soon. It will have a vault room in the basement. The floor, ceiling, and all four walls will be poured concrete. Other than that, I'm leaving it unfinished after framing and insulation, and I will take it form there. It will have HVAC and electrical available. What else should I do? Seems like a good idea to put a drain in. I'm tentatively planning to do Lockdown walls. Anything other suggestions? Jerry F - Do either of you guys have any idea where i can find Accurate Nitro 100NF for sale? I've been checking all of the reputable dealers online (Brownells, Midway usa, ammoseek etc) and I haven't been able to find any 4 or 8lb bottles all summer. I shoot trap every weekend with my dad and our local league just started and I commonly go through a hundred plus rounds each weekend. I believe accurate is a division of Hodgdens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And in your opinions where is all the powder going? Love the show, thank you. Jeremy is not a cunt, he just doesn't have any patience for stupidity. John J - I've recently realized I'm a fan of both Jeremy and Aaron. Which probably means I'm either deeply complex, or there's something wrong with me. Thoughts? Also, would love to see some more Dangerous Freedom videos. I am looking forward to the red dot - magnifier comparison. One of my AR's has a CompM5 with a 3x magnifier. I want to love it for what the combo cost, but I find myself removing the magnifier more often than not. Thanks for the show.   The winner of this week's swag pack is John J!

Midway Blitz's aim was to “target” undocumented immigrants with serious criminal histories — “the worst of the worst,” Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said when announcing the initiative in early September.Yet, neighbors saw immigration agents detain day laborers, construction and landscaping workers and street vendors, mothers and fathers, many of whom had no criminal history.Federal agents often used violent and unlawful tactics during the operations, advocates and lawyers said. And they've “displayed a massive show of force,” said Mark Fleming, director of litigation for the National Immigrant Justice Center. Block Club Chicago was part of a team that found federal agents used chemical weapons on people in Chicago at least 49 times this fall.Chicagoans had been preparing for a surge in immigration enforcement since President Donald Trump was reelected. The city has long been a target of Trump's criticism, and his border czar, Tom Homan, promised that mass deportations would “start right here in Chicago.” Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested nearly 400 people in Chicago and in neighboring states during the 10 days after Trump's January inauguration, according to records obtained by Block Club.Still, Midway Blitz and At Large — and the chaotic, seemingly random arrests and violence that came with them — have exceeded Chicagoans' expectations.Host - Jon HansenReporter - Francia Garcia HernandezREAD MORE HERESUBSCRIBE OR DONATE TO OUR NON PROFIT NEWSROOM Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom?

Midway through St. Augustine's annual illumination, a look at how efforts to quell the crush are going.

Midway through the offseason, the Seattle Mariners have re-signed Josh Naylor and acquired Rob Refsnyder, Jose Ferrer and Andrew Knizner.

INTELLIGENCE AND CALCULATED RISK Colleague Craig Symonds. Nimitz employed the concept of "calculated risk"—weighing potential benefits against losses—to manage his inferior forces. Although he viewed the Doolittle Raid as a risky stunt, he allowed it to proceed. Relying on intelligence from Layton and Rochefort, Nimitzcommitted his remaining carriers to the Battle of the Coral Sea and Midway. When Admiral Halsey fell ill with a skin condition before Midway, Nimitz selected the quiet Raymond Spruance to command, a decision validated by victory. Following Midway, Nimitz quietly placed aviator Marc Mitscher in "escrow" after a misleading after-action report. NUMBER 2 1945 OKINAWA (CV-94 LUNGA POINT)

Send us a textA birthday hangout turns into a full-on variety show: we kick off with shots and shout-outs, then sprint straight into the Labubu craze and the wild trend of tattooing the toy itself. The hype machine gets a reality check as we break down why collectibles blow up—celebrity co-signs, K-pop adjacency, mystery variants, and the thrill of not knowing what you'll get. From there, we tumble into pop-chart surprises (Baby Shark supremacy, Despacito endurance) and ask why certain songs conquer the world with choreography, repetition, and rhythm that cut across languages.Food heads get fed with hibachi talk, Kiran light, and an unexpected case for Crown Royal chocolate—plus the difference between a “vibe” dinner and a clutch takeout. Then comes a fiery Southern culture segment: Alabama and Mississippi pride meets Texas side-eye, MLK Day politics in Arizona's past, and the way stereotypes stick until someone tells the fuller story. Sports heads get their fix too, with NFL loyalties tested, fantasy heartbreak relived, and the kind of friendly slander that keeps group chats alive.Midway, we open the door on something more intimate: the difference between love and lust, how confidence changes chemistry, and the petty things people do post-breakup (or refuse to). It's raw, funny, and more honest than anyone planned. We pivot to strength and training with BYL shoutouts, celebrating women who lift heavy and giving beginners a nudge to start where they are. And because it's that season, the table explodes over holiday movies: Elf vs Die Hard, Home Alone nostalgia, Friday After Next as an all-timer, and the perennial “does it count as Christmas if it only happens at Christmas?” loophole.Pull up a chair, pour something good, and argue with us in your head. If you laughed, learned, or yelled “that's cap,” hit follow, rate the show, and share this episode with a friend who loves a good debate.

As a leader, the more you show your human side and reach out to others for help, the stronger the chance that the people around you will start to do the same. There are plenty of leadership lessons for early-career faculty and beyond in this week's Faculty Factory Podcast interview, just in time for the holidays, with our new friend Nicole Jarrett, MD, FACS. We hear about her journey and the transition from faculty member to a formal leadership role as Division Chief. Dr. Jarrett serves as Division Chief of Hand Surgery in the Department of Plastic Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She is also an Assistant Professor and the Hand Surgery Fellowship Director at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. The confidence to ask questions is an important sign of a confident leader. We all have days when we need help, and displaying the confidence to ask questions is essential. "It's okay to ask for help. We're all going to find ourselves in situations where we feel overwhelmed or where things aren't going right, and we need support,” she said. Midway through the discussion, Dr. Jarrett talks about the art of purposeful socializing. It's crucial to allocate time for social functions in our lines of work, especially in leadership roles, and taking a very strategic and efficient approach to how we engage in these functions pays dividends. It can also save time. “It's not all fun at these parties; you have a job to do. I'm very glad someone gave me that lesson, and I'm happy to pass it along to my faculty,” Dr. Jarrett discussed.

This episode is packed from start to finish

In a world obsessed with speed, optimization, certainty, and AI-driven answers, this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times offers a necessary pause. Chris Schembra sits down with Eric Stine, CEO of Sitecore, for a deeply human conversation about leadership, belonging, gratitude, and the courage to say yes before you feel ready. This is not a tactical episode about growth metrics or technology stacks—it's an exploration of what it means to lead, live, and connect in a time when instinct is being outsourced and humanity is at risk of being optimized away.Eric reflects on a 25-year career across some of the world's most influential enterprise technology companies, but reframes success through a different lens. Rather than crediting restraint or perfection, he points to saying yes as the defining strategy of his life, yes to unfamiliar roles, yes to reinvention, yes to creativity, fatherhood, philanthropy, and Broadway. Along the way, he opens up about imposter syndrome, those quiet moments of doubt that surface even at the highest levels of leadership, and why authenticity—not certainty—is what ultimately creates trust and psychological safety for teams.The conversation reaches back to Eric's eighth-grade years, when he felt like an outsider searching for his people. Theater became the place where he learned that difference wasn't something to hide, but something to bring forward, a lesson that continues to shape how he builds culture today. That theme of belonging becomes especially resonant in today's age of fragmentation and loneliness, where many people feel disconnected not because they lack opportunity, but because they lack spaces where they can show up fully as themselves.Midway through the episode, Eric answers the signature gratitude question, offering heartfelt thanks to his father, Mark, whose belief in living authentically influenced everything from Eric's leadership philosophy to a Tony Award win on Father's Day. The moment grounds the conversation in gratitude, not as sentiment, but as a force that shapes identity, values, and legacy across generations.This episode is especially important now because it confronts a growing cultural tension: while AI can deliver answers at unprecedented speed, it cannot deliver wisdom, belonging, or meaning. Eric draws a clear distinction between systems of record and systems of engagement, arguing that the future belongs to leaders and organizations that pair data with instinct, scale with empathy, and efficiency with humanity. In an era where people are burning out not just from work, but from hiding who they are, this conversation offers a different model, one rooted in community, peer-driven recognition, and shared accountability rather than control.Ultimately, The Power of Saying Yes is a reminder that culture cannot be engineered from the top down and growth cannot be achieved through optimization alone. Culture comes from community. Belonging comes from permission. And the most meaningful paths in life are rarely the safest ones. This episode invites listeners to slow down, embrace impermanence, and choose the more interesting path, not because it's easy, but because it's human.10 Key TakeawaysSaying yes creates momentum.Progress, growth, and meaning often come from leaning in before you feel ready—not from waiting for certainty. Authenticity is a leadership advantage, not a liability.When leaders model vulnerability, they unlock psychological safety and better performance across teams. Imposter syndrome doesn't disappear—it becomes a compass.Doubt is often a signal that you're stretching into something meaningful. Finding “your people” changes everything.Belonging fuels confidence, creativity, and resilience—whether in theater, business, or family. Gratitude is a strategic tool, not a soft one.Recognizing people for their impact on others builds trust, loyalty, and culture at scale. Culture cannot be built top-down.Leaders can only create the conditions; community does the building. AI needs humans in the loop.Data delivers insight, but instinct and empathy deliver relevance. Impermanence creates meaning.Moments matter more when we know they won't last—whether on stage, at work, or around the dinner table. Accountability is empowering when framed as ownership.We don't work in isolation—we work in ecosystems where shared responsibility drives excellence. The best life is an AND life, not an OR life.Passion and profit. Speed and care. Technology and humanity. Both can be true.Eric Stine BioEric Stine is the Chief Executive Officer of Sitecore, driving the company's vision and strategy to unlock business value for clients by empowering them to create compelling digital experiences.

We start with an analyis of the latest health care melodrama in D.C., where four House Republicans unexpectedly broke ranks, joining Democrats in forcing a vote on the renwal of ACA subsidies. Speaker Johnson will not hold the required vote until January. But even if it passes in the House, it will face an almost certain filibuster in the Senate. Meanwhile millions of Americans will lose healthcare coverage, and those who decide to pay skyrocketing premiums will be forced to cut back on other basics. We welcome State Representative Angelina Cruz to discuss the budget bait and switch on special education funding. The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) announced l that the state will fail to meet the 42% special education reimbursement promised in the recent state budget., and by elected leaders of both parties when they celebrated the budget "compromise." Rep. Cruz tells us about new legislation to ensure all schools get special education funding they were promised Following Rep. Cruz, we discuss a new three bill package that transforms how Wisconsin funds K-12 schools and other public goods in Wisconsin. If enacted, Wisconsin would become the first state to fund K-12 schools primarily through a progressive income tax, leading to a 44% reduction in the median Wisconsin property tax bill. Another bill restores Wisconsin's estate tax for estates valued higher than $14M and creates a new local option income tax on people who make $1M a year or more. These tools provide new, fairer options to raise revenue at the state and local levels, and begin the long process of unwinding record levels of income and wealth inequality. We also talk about this week's highly publicized trial of Judge Hannah Dugan Trial in Milwaukee, data center opponents launch a recall effort against Port Washington Mayor, and the "Monsters of the Midway" threaten to move to Indiana, the latest move in their failing (but on-going) campaign to shake down Illinois for unneeded public subsidies at the expense of schools, health care, and other public priorities. So far Illinois elected leaders are holding firm, in stark contrast to Wisconsin's bipartisan cave in to the Brewers billionaire owner last year.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.It was one of those market days that makes people panic. Big red candles, ugly price action, and nonstop noise about what is “supposed” to happen next. But this video is about why those days do not need to control your emotions, your decisions, or your account when you actually have a plan.This session walks through what separates reactive traders from disciplined ones. When the market is down hard, most people feel pressure to act, predict, or fix something. What you see here is a very different approach. Instead of guessing bottoms or averaging down blindly, the focus stays on trend structure, signals, expectancy, and risk control. When you know exactly what you are waiting for, the stress drops dramatically and the decision-making becomes simple.A big theme in this video is psychology. Watching price move without a framework feels chaotic. Once you understand trends, EMAs, ATR, and why exits matter just as much as entries, the market stops feeling random. You do not need to stare at charts all day. You do not need to babysit positions. You just follow the plan and let the data do the heavy lifting.There is also a deep dive into why prediction-based trading fails so many people. Doubling down, hoping, or assuming something has to bounce eventually sounds logical until you realize you never know how far a move can go. This video breaks down why waiting for confirmation puts you in profitable trends faster, with less time underwater and far less emotional damage.Midway through, the discussion shifts into real backtesting data. This is where things get interesting. Instead of “trust me” opinions, you see how expectancy, win rate, ATR behavior, and Monte Carlo testing actually work together. You also learn why some sectors are avoided completely, even if they look tempting, and how frequency and risk-adjusted returns matter more than chasing home runs.Key ideas covered in this video include:✅ Why red days are only scary when you do not have a plan✅ How trend signals remove emotion from trading decisions✅ The role of ATR in defining risk, exits, and expectations✅ Why random trade selection can still work when expectancy is positive✅ How V-shaped recoveries waste time compared to trend confirmationThe bigger takeaway is simple. Trading does not have to be stressful, dramatic, or chaotic. When your rules are clear and tested, you already know what you will do before price ever moves. That clarity is what allows traders using the OVTLYR approach to stay calm while everyone else is freaking out.If you want a calmer, more repeatable way to approach the market that is grounded in data instead of hype, this video is worth your time.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Send us a textThe distance between us and harm feels like it's vanished. We open with three shocks—a father slain by his son, a campus shooting at Brown, and an antisemitic attack in Austria—and follow the thread that ties them together: when formation collapses, pressure finds a way out. Family should be the last shelter, so language breaks when violence comes from within. We talk plainly about mental illness and addiction as explanations, not erasers, and argue that structure, treatment, and accountability must stand alongside love to keep people safe.The story widens to universities. Brilliance without grounding is acceleration, not wisdom. Campuses have become pressure cookers where young people are taught performance without permission to fail, ambition without emotional literacy, and strength without community. As belonging erodes, meaning erodes, and the results spill into public life. That same vacuum appears in the resurgence of antisemitism. History's warning light flashes when anxious, fragmented societies reach for a scapegoat; it signals that deeper moral bearings are failing.Midway, we pivot to a stark report: a billionaire commissioning more than a hundred U.S.-born children through IVF and surrogacy, selecting for sex and treating citizenship as a bundled feature. This isn't speculative fiction—it's a supply chain for people. Once reproduction is severed from covenant and presence, children slide from gift to product. We lay out the ethics, the economics, and the quiet language tricks that make commodification feel normal, while showing how unchecked wealth thrives in legal gray zones to buy what's illegal at home.Power and truth collide again in politics and the economy. We unpack a failed gerrymander push, the intimidation surrounding it, and why process integrity matters more than any map. Then we test the rosy jobs headlines against revisions that leave the ledger negative, returning to where most economies actually live: kitchens, break rooms, and late-night budgets.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.If you've ever wondered why so many options traders blow up their accounts, this video breaks it all down in a way that actually makes sense. The reality is uncomfortable but important. Roughly 90 percent of options traders lose money, not because they're stupid, but because they're trading without a real framework, without position sizing, and without understanding how risk actually works.This walkthrough digs into the real reasons traders fail and what separates disciplined traders from people just chasing screenshots on social media. You'll hear honest explanations about leverage, capital efficiency, psychology, and why getting lucky early can actually be one of the most dangerous things that happens to a trader.Instead of hype or shortcuts, the focus stays on what actually matters long term. Risk per trade. Position sizing using ATR. Why deep in-the-money options can dramatically change the math. Why blowing up an account is common, but not inevitable. And why trading without a plan turns even a high win rate into a losing strategy.There's also a real-world breakdown of how traders get trapped by probability metrics, earnings volatility, and false confidence. The Palantir example alone is a masterclass in how “high probability” trades can still wipe you out if you don't understand context, expected moves, and event risk.Midway through the video, things get practical fast. You'll see exactly how the same dollar risk can be applied across wildly different stocks, from slow movers to high-flyers, without gambling the entire account. This is where capital efficiency becomes a weapon instead of a liability.Here's what you'll walk away with:✅ Why most traders lose money even with “good” strategies✅ How proper position sizing keeps losses survivable✅ The real role of ATR in defining risk, not profit✅ Why deep in-the-money options change the leverage equation✅ How emotions quietly destroy accounts without traders noticingThe conversation also gets brutally honest about discipline. Cutting losers. Avoiding FOMO. Not doubling down out of hope. Following a predefined plan even when it feels uncomfortable. This isn't about winning every trade. It's about staying in the game long enough for an edge to actually work.If you're serious about trading, this isn't motivational fluff. It's a reality check paired with a framework that prioritizes survival first, consistency second, and growth last. That mindset shift alone can be the difference between blowing up and building something sustainable.This video is especially valuable if you're new to options, transitioning from paper trading, or struggling to understand why your results don't match your win rate. It connects the dots between math, psychology, and execution in a way most trading content avoids.Watch it all the way through, take notes, and revisit the sections on risk and position sizing. These concepts compound over time, just like bad habits do if they're ignored.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Looking for stocks that could run during a Santa Claus rally? This video dives straight into that question with real charts, real signals, and real-time decision making using the OVTLYR platform. Instead of guessing or chasing hype, this breakdown walks through how to evaluate trends, market breadth, sector strength, and buy and sell signals to figure out where money is actually flowing right now.The session starts by calling out stocks that simply do not have the legs. When price loses the 10 EMA, 20 EMA, and 50 EMA all at once, that is not seasonal strength, that is a warning sign. Even during a Santa Claus rally, trends still matter. From there, the focus shifts to the bigger picture. The SPY trend, overall market breadth, and sector-level fear and greed all help set the stage for whether upside follow-through is realistic or just wishful thinking.You will see how market cycles play out in real time. Stage two trends where moving averages stay clean and separated. Stage three topping where they start drifting closer together. And stage four declines where things unwind fast. This framework removes emotion and replaces it with structure, which is exactly what traders need during late-year volatility.Midway through the video, several potential Santa Claus rally candidates start to stand out based on strength, trend alignment, and sector confirmation.✅ How market breadth confirms or contradicts price action✅ Why losing key moving averages is a deal breaker✅ How sector fear and greed changes stock behavior✅ The difference between old and new order blocks✅ Why some stocks break out while others stallThe analysis covers names across multiple sectors including staples, discretionary, financials, and communication services. Walmart and Target show strong momentum in staples. Financial names light up as sector breadth improves. Disney shows renewed strength after long consolidation. Auto stocks like GM and Ford are examined with a realistic lens, including overhead resistance and trapped buyers. Tesla and Citibank also make the list as momentum and buy signals align.Along the way, there are practical lessons on exits, patience, and why you do not need to predict the future to trade well. You just need to recognize trends and protect capital when conditions change. That philosophy runs through the entire breakdown.The video also highlights OVTLYR University, a completely free training library designed to teach how markets actually work. No upsells. No fluff. Just structured education built from years of real trading experience.If you are preparing for year-end trades, the new year ahead, or simply want to understand how professionals think about market structure, this walkthrough gives you a clear, grounded approach.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.In this video, we break down the trading philosophy of Paul Tudor Jones and translate it into practical, real-world lessons you can actually use. This is not theory for academics or hindsight analysis that only works on a perfect chart. This is about understanding how elite traders think about risk, trend, and survival first, profits second.We walk through how Paul Tudor Jones approaches market turns, why he focuses so heavily on moving averages, and how simple math based rules can help you avoid catastrophic losses. You will see why the 200-day moving average plays such a critical role in identifying danger zones, and how combining short, intermediate, and long-term trends creates a powerful framework for decision making.A major theme here is discipline. Not prediction. Not patterns that look good in hindsight. Discipline. Cutting losses quickly. Letting winners work. Staying aligned with the dominant trend. This video shows how major market crashes from 1987 to recent years all shared the same structural signals long before panic hit headlines.Midway through the discussion, we connect these ideas directly to how traders inside the OVTLYR ecosystem think about fear, greed, and turning points. This includes how heatmaps, trend alignment, and confirmation help remove emotion from decision making and replace it with repeatable logic.Here is what you will take away from this session:✅ Why the best money is often made near market turns, not during emotional extremes✅ How the 10, 20, and 50 moving averages work together to expose real risk✅ Why trading what you see beats predicting what you think will happen✅ How a 5:1 risk reward mindset allows profitability even with a low win rate✅ Why protecting capital matters more than chasing returnsWe also cover a hard truth most traders avoid. The biggest up days often happen inside bear markets. Blind buy and hold narratives ignore this reality, and this video explains why being out of the market during dangerous periods is not only acceptable, it is often smart.The core message is simple and timeless. If a position is working, stay with it. If it is not working, get out. Risk control is not optional. It is the foundation of longevity in trading.If you want to learn how professional traders think about trend following, market structure, and risk management without over complication, this session delivers exactly that. Everything discussed here ties back to rules you can verify, test, and apply yourself.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.If you've ever felt stuck jumping into trades without real confidence, this video is going to hit home. This session dives straight into one of the most important parts of trading that most people rush past developing a real trading plan with clear entries, exits, and trade management rules. Not hype. Not predictions. Just structure, discipline, and a system you can actually follow when emotions start creeping in.The focus here is simple but powerful. Stop trying to copy someone else's trades and start building a plan that fits you. The market rewards consistency, not impulse. That means understanding why you're entering a trade, how you'll manage it while it's open, and exactly when you're getting out whether the trade works or not. Big wins come from small losses and letting trends do the heavy lifting over time.A major theme throughout this class is emotional control. Trading anxiety, headline chasing, and reacting to every market move will destroy even the best strategy. This approach is about developing a professional mindset, trusting data, and executing rules without panic. If you've ever found yourself second guessing, selling too early, or holding losers too long, this lesson connects the dots on why that happens and how to fix it.You'll also see a practical breakdown of trend-based entries using moving averages like the 5, 10, 20, and 50. More importantly, you'll learn why no single entry guarantees success and why outcomes vary even when the setup is identical. That's where backtesting, journaling, and repetition come in. Confidence doesn't come from one good trade. It comes from seeing a strategy work over dozens of real examples.Midway through the video, things get very real about exits. Entries might feel exciting, but exits are what decide whether you keep your money. Trailing stops, stop losses, and rule-based exits are covered in detail, along with the psychology of actually following them when a stock pulls back. This is where most traders fail, and it's why exits matter more than almost anything else.Here's what this video helps you lock in:✅ How to build rule-based entries instead of chasing tips✅ Why exits matter more than entries✅ How to use trend signals without predicting the future✅ The right way to think about backtesting and data✅ How to align your trading plan with your personalityThis class is part of OVTLYR University and it's designed to push you past the comfort zone. Trading is work, but it's the kind of work that pays off when done correctly. By the end, the challenge is clear build one complete trading plan, test it with real data, and prove to yourself that it works before risking real money.If you want to save time, make smarter decisions, and trade with less stress, this is the foundation everything else is built on.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

So, Jeff Beck ("Twins") pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's Paul, Rachael, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. Rachael managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shop owner and his son... that's a different story altogether...nasty business, really. But, sure enough, we got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.

Episode #1113: Pivoting from Burnout – Alpha Energy, Culture Wars, and Media Makeovers In this raw, three-hour motivational Monday edition, host Clay Edwards lays it all bare: after years of battling cancel culture and spotlighting Jackson's systemic chaos, he's burnt out on endless politics and culture war fatigue. Drawing from a gritty documentary on the city's violence-glorifying underbelly, Clay announces a bold pivot—no more dissecting "culture rot" or chasing unsalvageable fixes. "You can't fix stupid," he declares, opting out to focus on self-improvement, red-pill truths, and uplifting men instead. Shaming works on thin-skinned politicians, but not on a "rotten and broken" cycle that's beyond redemption. The show heats up with a fiery takedown of conservative media's "beta male" hijacking: Why has the space been overrun by low-T, feminine-energy pundits who couldn't "fight their way out of a wet paper bag"? Clay ranks top figures like Ben Shapiro (super cuck), Tucker Carlson (alpha), and Joe Rogan (definite alpha), calling for more high-testosterone leaders to reclaim the fight. Guest co-host Andrew Allgasser joins for hour three, diving into fatherlessness epidemics, the military as a manhood forge (especially for at-risk demographics), and how softened institutions like wrestling and Boy Scouts signal a broader assault on masculinity.   Midway, caller Angela (aka MIC Magazine) vents on political disingenuousness, blind loyalty in voting blocs, and the exhaustion of endless cycles—echoing Clay's wit's-end vibe. Sports fans get a nod: Hype for Ole Miss's playoff clash with Tulane (fingers crossed for Georgia next) and Mississippi State's Duke's Mayo Bowl berth on January 2nd, plus live watch party plans at McB's. Wrapping with cultural curveballs, Clay rallies against Netflix's Warner Bros. bid (root for Paramount's hostile takeover to shield icons like Batman from woke twists) and slams the Somali funding scandal in Minnesota—millions funneled to Al-Shabaab terrorists, exposing ignored infiltration. It's unfiltered evolution: From Jackson's soul-sucking grind to forging stronger men and mocking the left's absurd antics (think Antifa's '80s aerobics protest). Strap in—Clay's flipping the script for a fiercer, no-sugar-added reality check.  

Sooner or later every one of us reaches a moment when we realize we are lost. Perhaps someone here today feels that very thing – an inner drifting, a sense that spiritually or morally we've wandered from the path. Life hasn't unfolded the way we expected. The days begin to blur into one another, wake up, eat, work, sleep, repeat. Somewhere in that routine we ask, Where is my life going?Dante, the Medieval Italian poet, put it powerfully when he wrote, “Midway on the journey of our life, I found myself alone and lost in a dark wood, having wandered from the straight path.” Many of us know exactly what that dark wood feels like.But hear the good news: Jesus Christ comes precisely for those who are lost. Christianity is not a reward for the strong; it is a lifeline for the weary. It is not a trophy for the disciplined; it is hope for those who finally admit they cannot fix themselves. That is why, in this Sunday's Gospel, St. John the Baptist does not whisper but proclaims: “Repent! For the Kingdom of God is at hand.”To repent is to say, “Lord, I have lost my way, and I need You to lead me home.” Unless we acknowledge that, we will never leave the dark wood. If we pretend we have everything together, we will never reach for the hand of the Savior stretched out toward us. And if we do not reach for Him, we will never know Jesus Christ as the One who rescues.Some say the Catholic Church asks too much – too many rules, too many expectations: confess your sins, fast during Lent, give back to God a percentage of your income, honor the Sabbath by attending Mass each Sunday. And yes, the Church asks much. But she asks much because she loves much. She has learned, through two thousand years of saints and sinners, that holiness requires real commitment. There is no such thing as cheap grace. As Scripture tells us, “You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.” (Cf. Leviticus 19:2) When John the Baptist saw the Pharisees and Sadducees, religious men with impressive knowledge, he rebuked them sharply: “You brood of vipers!” Why? Because they knew the law but lacked the heart. They understood Scripture, but their lives bore no fruit. Knowledge without surrender had left them unchanged. And so John cried out, “Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance!”As we walk through this season of Advent, let each candle we light be a small but steady call out of the dark wood and into the marvelous light of Christ. He is coming, not to condemn us for being lost, but to lead us out if only we will let Him.So, do not imitate the Pharisees and Sadducees who believed they needed no Savior. Instead, lift your hands in surrender. Admit your need. Welcome Christ into the places where you feel most lost. Let Him take the lead, guide your steps, and show you once more the path home. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

Driven by extensive Japanese primary sources, Gamble in the Coral Sea: Japan's Offensive, the Carrier Battle, and the Road to Midway (Naval Institute Press, 2025) offers an operational analysis of the first clash of aircraft carriers at the pivotal Battle of the Coral Sea from the Japanese perspective, including leadership, tactics, and errors that brought a numeric victory but a strategic loss for Japan that halted their bold advance into the South Pacific and ultimately set the stage for Midway. The opening salvos of the Battle of the Coral Sea, the first large-scale carrier clash in history, were fired one month before Midway. Gamble in the Coral Sea recounts, for the first time in English, the story of this battle from the Japanese point of view. Based on extensive Japanese-language sources, author Michal A. Piegzik forcefully challenges established Western narratives surrounding this critical engagement in the Pacific War. Operation MO, the Japanese plan to seize Port Moresby, kicked off in early May 1942. By committing three carriers, including the famous Shōkaku and Zuikaku, the Nippon Kaigun's command risked a critical part of their fleet just before the envisaged decisive battle at Midway in the Central Pacific, scheduled for early July. The operation was considered a vital part of Japanese strategy. Victory would isolate Australia and New Zealand and extend access to vital resources crucial to Japan's war effort. Victory, however, would prove elusive after American codebreakers deciphered Japanese radio traffic that revealed their plans in the weeks leading up to the launch of Operation MO. Using this intelligence to their advantage, U.S forces located elements of the Japanese navy as they steamed through the Coral Sea. Soon after, history's first carrier battle began. Piegzik combines expertise in military history with mastery of the Japanese language to provide a rare perspective on the Imperial Japanese Navy's operational choices during the battle. His use of Japanese archival documents and personal testimonies from surviving Japanese crew members uncovers new dimensions to the battle. The clash proved to be a Pyrrhic victory for the Japanese, who sunk the Lexington and crippled the Yorktown but were forced to call off Operation MO due to the severe damage inflicted on Shōkaku and the heavy losses among their aircrews. Revealed here are the circumstances and actual reasons for the Japanese failure and the revised impact of the Battle of the Coral Sea on the Battle of Midway. Beyond tactical details, Piegzik offers insight into the broader consequences of the battle. He engages with sources previously underexplored and integrates them with Allied perspectives to ensure a well-rounded understanding of the events. A vital addition to any World War II collection, Gamble in the Coral Sea offers a nuanced and thorough exploration of a battle that significantly shaped the trajectory of the war in the Pacific.

Bengals' Heartbreaking Collapse: A 39-34 Snowy Thriller Loss to the BillsIn the swirling snow of Orchard Park on December 7, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals experienced yet another gut-wrenching defeat, falling 39-34 to the Buffalo Bills in a Week 14 AFC showdown that felt like a playoff preview gone awry. For a Bengals team clinging to fading postseason hopes at 4-8, this loss wasn't just a tally in the standings—it was a microcosm of their season's frustrations: explosive offense undercut by untimely errors, a defense that bent but couldn't break, and the cruel poetry of two bizarre interceptions sealing their fate.The game kicked off under a blanket of white, with Mother Nature turning Highmark Stadium into a winter wonderland. Cincinnati won the coin toss and, defying convention, elected to receive. It paid immediate dividends. Joe Burrow, the Bengals' unflappable gunslinger, orchestrated a meticulous 14-play, 67-yard march that devoured 8:16 off the clock. He went 5-for-6, threading needles through the flurries to set up Chase Brown's gritty five-yard touchdown plunge—assisted by a shove from tackle Amarius Mims. Just like that, it was 7-0, and Bengals fans dared to dream of extending their streak of scoring first-drive touchdowns against Buffalo in four straight meetings.Buffalo, however, is no ordinary foe. Josh Allen, the dual-threat dynamo, answered with surgical precision. The Bills' offense, leaning on tight-end heavy sets to exploit Cincinnati's linebacker coverage, clawed back with a field goal, making it 7-3. Burrow wasn't done. In the second quarter, he carved up the secondary again, finding Tee Higgins for a one-handed, highlight-reel touchdown grab that pushed the lead to 14-3. By halftime, the Bengals held a precarious 21-11 edge, having converted 4-of-4 third downs on their opening possession. Ja'Marr Chase, battling through the weather, eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards for the season—his fifth such campaign—reminding everyone why Cincinnati's passing attack remains elite.The third quarter hinted at Bengals dominance. Burrow's hot streak continued, with Chase Brown adding another score to balloon the lead to 28-11. Burrow finished 22-of-31 for 218 yards and three touchdowns, his pocket presence a beacon in the blizzard. The Bengals' ground game chipped in 70 yards from Brown, who also hauled in a receiving score, showcasing the balanced attack that once made Cincy a Super Bowl contender.But football's cruel theater unfolded in the fourth. Trailing by 17, Buffalo's defense—led by cornerback Christian Benford—finally cracked the code. Midway through the frame, Benford snared Burrow's short right pass intended for Chase at the Buffalo 37, returning it 63 yards for a pick-six that ignited the comeback. The stadium erupted; the Bills trailed 28-18. Allen, electric as ever, responded with four total touchdowns—two passing, two rushing—capitalizing on the momentum. A late Bengals touchdown pulled them within 36-34, but their two-point conversion fizzled when Burrow fumbled the snap.Then, the dagger: Burrow's second inexplicable interception in as many attempts, this one a wobbling duck in the snow that gifted Buffalo prime field position. The Bills tacked on a field goal, then methodically ran out the clock after Cincinnati's onside kick failed. Allen's 21 fourth-quarter points underscored Buffalo's resilience, improving them to 9-4 and bolstering their AFC East grip.For Cincinnati, the what-ifs sting. Two "weirdest interceptions you'll ever see," as one analyst quipped, turned a potential statement win into another collapse. The defense, featuring Jordan Battle's three picks on the year, forced a turnover on downs but couldn't stop Allen's heroics. Injuries, like edge rusher Joseph Ossai's brief exit, added to the toll. This 39-34 heartbreaker drops the Bengals to 4-9, their playoff dreams buried deeper in the snow. Yet, with Burrow's wizardry (18-5 in December games lifetime), hope flickers. Next week, redemption calls against the Browns—but for now, Buffalo's blizzard of brilliance leaves Cincinnati chilled.(Word count: 412)

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series! On this edition we welcome LUXUS (@luxnewman) Magician On Duty proudly unveils a new chapter in its acclaimed Journey Series, this time guided by the enigmatic sound explorer known as LUXUS — an artist whose world blends shadow, structure, and shimmering inner light. LUXUS approaches music the way a sculptor approaches form: with precision, intention, and an ever-evolving identity. His artistic vision is shaped by duality — a faceted exterior of discipline and design, and a glowing creative core that's beginning to radiate outward with renewed strength. In his hands, sound becomes a mirror of transformation: fragmented yet refined, restrained yet bursting with potential, always hinting at a deeper essence beneath the surface. This episode reflects that vision with remarkable clarity. Moving through noir-infused electronica, hypnotic slow-burn grooves, and propulsive late-night energy, LUXUS curates a journey that feels like watching a new self assemble in real time. The mix opens in an atmospheric haze with Pye Corner Audio's “Ganzfeld Effect,” a dimensional shimmer that sets the tone for perception to shift. From there, illusion and identity weave together through pieces like Markus Gibb & San Carol's “Illusion” and Marco Darko's “One Night Stand,” each track adding another facet to the mask — sharp, reflective, and meticulously crafted. As the journey deepens, the golden light at Luxus' center begins to break through. Pavel Petrov's “Faith,” Lefty D's “Strange Days,” and Everyone But None's “3 AM” move with the pulse of inner awakening — subtle, glowing, and alive. Floral motifs of growth and renewal appear in selections like Andino's “Swirlz” and Moe Turk's “Deep Is Dope (Deep Lo Remix),” echoing the sense of something blooming just beneath the surface. Midway, the mix steps into its transformative phase. Tracks such as Terranova & Alican's “Cosmocode,” Jonathan Kaspar's “Muster,” and Audio Junkies' “Aspects of Rhythm” reveal a more assertive stride — a consolidation of ideas, a tightening of vision, a coalescing identity. The energy becomes bolder, more magnetic, yet still wrapped in the elegance of a luxurious exterior. The episode concludes with a powerful ascent. Edgier cuts like Sexual Purity's “Convulsion” and Ghost Cop's “A Shot in the Dark (Houses of Heaven Remix)” break apart the last remnants of confinement, making space for the final act: a moment of cinematic release with 2WEI & Ali Christenhusz's “Ave Maria,” a closing that feels both sacred and cathartic — the unveiling of the inner light at last. Through this carefully woven narrative, Luxus presents more than a DJ mix. He offers a portrait of metamorphosis — a soundscape where structure meets spirit, elegance meets emotion, and identity reveals itself piece by piece. This Journey Series episode marks a moment of breakthrough for an artist stepping into a new era of self-expression, aesthetic clarity, and conceptual strength. Step inside the mask.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comThe view from Morgan Lake looks more like Montana than Oregon to me. It's big sky country.Just 10 minutes up a gravel road from the eastern Oregon city of La Grande, Morgan Lake is mysteriously a world apart. From its shores you see only rolling prairie giving way to distant mountains. Situated on a ridge, Morgan and its sibling Twin Lake have an implacable mirage-like quality. The surrounding topography—the absence of enfolding contours—doesn't readily explain their presence. There is no incoming stream to feed them. Subterranean springs pump water from an active aquifer hidden below.I found myself on the lake shore on a breezy March Saturday. People were fishing nearby. The wind billowed through the Ponderosa Pine canopy. An osprey occasionally called out. Nuthatches passed through. Midway through White-throated Sparrows sing in the quiet, followed by a wayfaring Winter Wren.As I've shared in the past, I like to program my releases in batches. This is the last in a trilogy located in the Pacific Northwest, east of the Cascade Range. It's lodgepole and ponderosa pine country. Once again, the main character in this soundscape is the mesmerizing whisper of the wind in the pines. This particular day was dynamic; the breeze ebbed and flowed. Occasionally it howled. The arrangement is super sparse. Honestly it would likely fail as a piece of music without the wind. The ratio of solos to duets is about 50/50. Most of my arrangements are comprised of at least duets, most of the time. I think I was responding to the sense of loneliness I felt in the physical space. The chord progression is progressive. Each part adds another chord and more harmonic complexity. There is a touch of minor color, which sounds a little unsettling. Though it was recorded in early spring, it strikes me as a wintry listen. I hope you enjoy it.Morgan Lake is available under the artist name Listening Spot on all streaming platforms today Friday, December 5th, 2025.

The University of Minnesota Men's Gymnastics Club has a new 14,000 square foot facility in St. Paul's Midway neighborhood. The program was dropped by the University back in 2020, meaning they were out of the NCAA and had no monetary support from the school. Then in 2024, they got kicked out of their campus facility and were forced to commute up to 40 minutes to different gyms around the metro. Now, for the first time, they have their own home gym. Minnesota Now got the chance to tour it and learn how the team has been able to vault to new heights.

Midway is back with another game in the Domino-Man style! This time it's Wacko, and oh boy does this live up to the title! If you thought playing a normal arcade cabinet was fun, just wait until you play one that's on a 30 degree tilt! We also talk about Spike and Web Warp on the Vectrex and Champion Base Ball and Pro Bowling from the arcades in today's exciting episode!Website -https://historyofvideogamespodcast.comYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/@historyofvideogamespodcast1994Twitter - https://twitter.com/HistoryofVideo1Email - historyvgpodcast@gmail.comHosts - Ben & WesMusic - Arranged and recorded by Ben

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Ever heard someone say you can risk just $30 and potentially make hundreds on a single options trade? Yeah, that definitely grabs attention. In this episode, things go deep into one of the most misunderstood areas of options trading: gamma exposure. It sounds complex at first, but it is unpacked step by step in a way that actually makes it click. And once it does, you start seeing why expiration weeks behave the way they do. The session kicks off by breaking down delta and gamma in real, practical terms. Delta shows how much an option moves for every one dollar move in the stock. Gamma shows how fast that delta changes. When gamma is stacked across strikes and expirations, you get gamma exposure, which tells you whether market makers are likely to calm price down or push volatility even harder around certain levels.From there, things get really interesting. You see how positive gamma areas usually lead to choppy, range bound markets where price fades work better. On the flip side, negative gamma zones tend to produce fast, violent moves where momentum strategies shine. This single distinction can completely change how you view a trading week.Once those concepts are clear, the episode applies everything to real expiration levels. Using publicly available gamma data, key strikes are identified where large open interest and dealer positioning could influence price. From those levels, two butterfly trades are built. One risks about $30. The other risks about $80. In both cases, the upside can exceed $800 if price lands right on the target at expiration.Here is the real talk moment though. These trades look amazing on paper. The risk is tiny. The reward is massive. But the profit window is incredibly narrow. You only get paid if price lands inside a tiny range at a very specific moment on expiration day. Miss it by a little and the trade loses. That is why this style of trade is compared to buying a lottery ticket with really precise odds.Midway through the episode, several hard truths are laid out clearly:✅ Why positive gamma environments favor premium selling and fading moves✅ Why negative gamma environments create explosive directional action✅ How dealers influence price near heavy open interest levels✅ Why narrow butterflies can look incredible but are brutally preciseOVTLYR tools show up throughout the session, including the value zone framework, ATR rolling rules, and strict exit signals. You also see how a professional style routine actually looks day to day. Checking positions, confirming rules, and making decisions based on data instead of emotion.The big message here is simple and powerful. The goal is not to predict what big money will do next. The goal is to build a repeatable process that protects capital first and lets profits follow.If gamma exposure, expiration pinning, or asymmetric option trades have ever caught your attention, this episode gives you a grounded, honest look at both the upside and the limitations. No hype. Just real trading logic, real risk, and real expectations.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Send us a textSnow that bites, winds that snap, and a cabin lit by a single candle—yet the room still fills with carols and the smell of plum pudding. We journey across the Old West to uncover how pioneers forged the Christmas we recognize today, transforming scarcity into ritual and distance into community. From homestead kitchens humming weeks in advance to stockings hung by a hard‑won fire, we explore the customs that stitched a shaken nation back together after the Civil War and blossomed into a national holiday by 1870.We share first‑hand accounts that feel close to the skin: a family pushing through storms to reach a new life in Oregon Territory, neighbors snowshoeing through four feet of powder for a frontier feast, and Dodge City's Christmas Eve council where civic ambition briefly overshadowed goodwill. These vignettes reveal the texture of the season on the prairie—homemade ornaments from evergreens and ribbon, popcorn garlands, cookie‑dough keepsakes, and gifts carved, knitted, and stitched over months. Each detail reminds us that meaning grows where hands work and hearts wait.Midway, we read Robert W. Service's “The Christmas Tree,” a moving tale of a discarded fir that becomes a beacon for a child in pain. The poem echoes the frontier ethic: rescue what the world overlooks, turn it into light, and let hope do the rest. By the close, we reflect on hospitality and charity as the enduring core of the holiday—values that carried pioneers through savage winters and still kindle warmth in ours.

Mario was a 28-year-old crack and alcohol addict who was imprisoned for burglary. At his sentencing the judge said he was “a waste of a human life.” Mario sadly agreed. Midway through his jail time he saw an advertisement for a journalism contest. It piqued Mario’s interest, and he enrolled in a nearby university. He was hooked. Mario loved working on news stories, and after his release he finished his master’s degree in journalism and now writes for The New York Times. He’s a waste no more! The life of the demon-possessed man living in the tombs seemed a waste to anyone who knew him. His neighbors bound him with chains for their protection and his, but “he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet” (Mark 5:4). He ran back to the tombs where “night and day . . . he would cry out and cut himself with stones” (v. 5). Then he was changed forever. Jesus cast out the man’s demons and returned him to normal society. The town was amazed to find him “sitting there, dressed and in his right mind” (v. 15). The grateful man wanted to sail away with Christ, but He said no. “Go home to your own people,” said Jesus, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you” (v. 19). This man’s mission is our mission. Let’s tell others about Christ. Because of Him, no one’s life is a waste.

There are always plenty of bad news stories given the lawlessness of the Trump administration. But there are times when the media seems to focus on the bad and give short shrift to the good news stories, the positive legal developments, the points of light. Here is one point of light regarding a federal judge in Chicago pushing back against the lawless aspects of the Trump Administration's abuses of immigrants AND US citizens during "Operation Midway Blitz" in Chicago. As The Guardian reported: "Judge orders release of hundreds arrested during Chicago immigration raids."Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
