![]() ![]() ![]() Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having 'In God We Trust' on our money and having 'God' in the Pledge of Allegiance. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! I am proud to be from America and nowhere else, and if you don't like my point of view, tough.”. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. ![]() I am sick of 'Political Correctness.' I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa so how can they be 'African-Americans'? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries! And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. ![]() It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say 'NO!' If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building. I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. That doesn't stop you from watching them. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. I don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor. We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document and open to their interpretations. I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business. If you can't understand the word 'freeze' or 'stop' in English, see the above lines. I think the police should have every right to shoot you if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English! When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling it is the Law of Probability. I have the right 'NOT' to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off. I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE? I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game. Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America and see what happens. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. "I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. He's probably the only one who could have gotten away with this. At the end of '60 Minutes' he usually had his own 10-minute segment that, unbelievably, was never censored by CBS. ![]()

The Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps is sponsored by BD Performing Arts, a 501(c)(3) musical organization. The Cadets and The Cavaliers are the only other corps to reach such a feat in Drum Corps International history. After winning in 2019, 2022 and now its third title in a row, the corps reached a DCI Title “Three-Peat”. In 2023, the Blue Devils claimed their first Three-Peat in the corps’ history. In the Blue Devils' 2017 program, voiceovers were used from a newly-discovered audio tape recording of the late former director Jerry Seawright addressing the crowd at the Blue Devils' first appearance as a drum and bugle corps in 1972. The Blue Devils are also the only corps to have crossed the 99-point threshold twice in DCI World Championship history, achieving a 99.050 in 2009, and a 99.650 in 2014. At the DCI Finals in Indianapolis on August 9, the corps received a record high score of 99.650. In 2014, the Blue Devils won their sixteenth DCI World Championship. Over the years, the Devils have often made use of jazz and Latin music repertoires, notably Bill Reddie's Channel One Suite (made famous by Buddy Rich) and charts from the music of Chick Corea and Chuck Mangione and that written for Stan Kenton's big band. In 1976, the Blue Devils won the first of the corps' twenty-one DCI World Championship titles. The younger Blue Devils C Drum and Bugle Corps was also formed in 1973. The summer of 1973 marked the Blue Devils first national tour and their first appearance at the Drum Corps International World Championships in Whitewater, Wisconsin. ![]() ![]() By 1972, the unit, now with over seventy members, advanced from Class B competition to Class A and traveled on tour outside California for the first time. In 1970, a group of buglers was added to the Blue Devils drums and flags, and the corps entered its first competition as the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps. In 1968, the drum and bell corps moved into Senior Division competition, and the new junior corps, Blue Devils B, was founded. In 1961, the Blue Devils added a flag section to the unit that was then competing in the state's Junior division. The two units continued to perform together, winning numerous state and local competitions between 19. In 1958, the Blue Devils added glockenspiels, becoming a drum and bell corps, while the girls became a separate baton twirling troupe, the Majorettes. Initially, the group performed as an all-boy drum corps with an all-girl drill team. They reorganized the unit as the Blue Devils. In 1957, Tony and Ann Odello and the Concord VFW post assumed control of the Martinettes, a defunct drum corps and drill team. The Blue Devils are the current DCI Champions, with a record of twenty-one titles to date. ![]() They also hold the record for the highest score in DCI history, winning the 2014 DCI World Championships with a score of 99.65. They have finished first or second since 2007, and have placed no lower than fifth since 1975. The Blue Devils are members of Drum Corps International (DCI).

Globally, road transportation is highly preferred to transport goods within the boundary of the region. Based on mode of transportation, the perishable goods transportation market can be segregated into sea, air, rail, and road transportation. The choice of mode of transportation for perishable goods depends on the distance the product needs to be transported, type of good, and conditions under which product needs to be transported. ![]() For frozen products, the temperature needs to be maintained below the freezing point. For meat, fish, and seafood the inner-room temperature should be maintained at temperature less than 20 degree Celsius, and there is need of regular circulation of refrigerated air. The global perishable goods transportation market can be segmented based on type of product, mode of transportation, and region.īased on type of product, the perishable goods transportation market can be divided into meat, fish and seafood, dairy and frozen desserts, vegetables and fruits, and bakery and confectionery. Moreover, these shipping vehicles are designed to facilitate proper flow of refrigerated air over the stored goods. Vehicles that transport fish and meat products are equipped with refrigeration and insulation systems that are capable of maintain temperatures of less than 0 ✯ for frozen foods and lower than 45 ✯ for iced seafood. Food wastage, owing to spoilage, drives the need for food preservation for longer duration in order to deal with the rising food shortage. These are factors propelling the perishable goods transportation market. This requires transportation of such items on a daily basis. These type of goods are primarily produced outside urban and semi-urban areas however, their demand is primarily from urban areas. Several daily need items can be classified as perishable goods. Rapid rise in population is fueling the demand for the daily-need items exponentially. Increase in population is a major factor driving the perishable goods transportation market. Special containers are employed to achieve this purpose. ![]() These type of goods require a proper ventilated system in order to be transported from one place to another. Perishable goods transportation involves the shipping of goods that are likely to get affected by change in atmosphere. ![]() ![]() ![]() This camp, situated at the foot of some ruins, is heavily guarded - including by several Mercenary (one on a horse!) which as mentioned above, can drop a Dismounter as well. If you're not patient enough to wait for a weapon drop via the above sources, then you can pick up a Great Epee - a heavy thrusting sword - from a treasure chest in the bandit camp in the south-west corner of Limgrave. You can find one Mercenary location very early on the north side of the beach close to where you start in Limgrave, otherwise they can be often found in bandit camps, such as the one in the far south-east of Limgrave, mentioned below. This has a 19 Strength and 16 Dexterity requirement, which is pretty high at the start of the game. Meanwhile, defeating Mercenaries has a slight chance in dropping a Dismounter. It also has a useful blood loss buildup passive effect. ![]() The 17 Strength and 13 Dexterity requirements give you a slow but very powerful early game weapon to wield our recommendation is using it as a jump and slashing weapon before switching it out to something a little faster to finish foes off. The stat requirements are accessible - 11 Strength and 13 Dexterity - and though the drop rate is low, we found clearing the group of skeletons here in a loop could be achieved in about a minute before fast travelling back to the Grace at Murkwater Catacombs just to the north.Įlsewhere, the Grave Scythe can drop from skeletons that wield them, such as those at the graveyard just east of Saintsbridge in the north of Limgrave. The Bandit's Curved Sword is a strong weapon that's a possible drop from certain enemies, such as a skeleton found in the river north of Lake Agheel (just north of where the glowing jellyfish spawn at night in the cave, and before the gust of air which can take Torrent up when jumping). If you don't fancy the stat requirements of the Twinblade, then other weapons available in the early hours of Elden Ring include the following drops from Limgrave enemies. Once you do, it works both as a fast but strong one-handed blade and as a powerful two-handed weapon that, with a couple of Smithing Stone upgrades, will put a decent dent in the more challenging enemies in the areas to come. As such, you might need to farm Runes so you can level stats high enough to wield it. The Twinblade comes with the stat requirements of 10 Strength and 18 Dexterity, the latter putting it out of reach of any starting class choice. Once within, you'll find an underground passage. To find the Twinblade location, head to the south of Lake Agheel and approach the Dragon-Burnt Ruins.Īt the south-east most corner of the ruins, you'll found a walled structure which you can only access by leaping with the aid of your horse. ![]() Where to find the Twinblade in Elden Ring. There are other strong weapons out there - some of which we'll discuss shortly - but in terms of accessibility location-wise, and how much of a step up it is versus starting class weapons, is one we'd highly recommend tracking down. Perhaps the best early weapon in Elden Ring is the Twinblade, which is just a stone's throw away from where you emerge in Limgrave. Your starting weapon will do fine for most of the opening hours - but the time you want to tackle the critical path proper and head to Stormveil Castle - or even some of the meatier locations within Limgrave - then you need a decent armament. If you're after magic at the start of the game, then we can suggest where to find a staff location and a sorcery teacher - and if you want to look beyond armaments, our best armor sets can help there.
