![]() You can fix this problem with a foam rest, which is basically a rectangle with cuts meant to accept the pistol’s barrel or rifle’s action and forend. If you take an AR-15 with a standard 30-round magazine and rest it against any shooting bag, you’ll notice that you can’t raise the muzzle high enough because the magazine bumps up against the table. Foam Rest There’s a problem with rifle rest bags. Another advantage is that shooting sandbags and beanbags work wonderfully on uneven surfaces and with unconventional barricades. You can pick a couple of designs and use them with an array of shooter/rifle positions if you know how to do it correctly. Nothing can beat bags when versatility is a top priority because they have the greatest potential for improvisation. Heavier bags help you with recoil management, while lightweight bags are easier to carry around the range or your hunting area. Ranging from small handheld shooting squeeze bags to barricade bags to large pillow bags, they can be filled with various materials, depending on the purpose of a particular design. Shooting Bag A bag is the most versatile and easy-to-use support for your gun. Since gun rests provide the best repeatable point of impact, they are great for long-range and extreme long-range competitions. Many gun rests also aid in reducing felt recoil, usually through weight bags. Even after the recoil force is applied, returning to the initial position for the follow-up shots won’t be too hard, thanks to the rest’s adjustments. When operating the rifle, your handwork interferes the least with the rifle’s position. The rest gives fixed stable support in the forend and the action for zeroing and prevents the position change due to micro-movements. The main strengths of a gun rest are adjustability and stability. Different Types of Shooting Rests Gun Rest A gun shooting rest, also known as a gun rest, gun sighting stand, or precision shooting rest, is a fixture device consisting of one or two pieces. Given this, let’s consider different types of gun rests for shooting. Today, the term “shooting rest” refers to a group of devices and accessories intended to stabilize a gun and a particular piece of gear. ![]() It compensated a little for the gun’s inherent inaccuracy. Instead, shooters put moss or other soft things that kept muskets steady. Before the invention of rifling that considerably improved a gun’s accuracy, firing a flintlock musket offhand for the competition was uncommon. What Is a Shooting Rest? Basically, as the name suggests, it’s something on which you can rest your gun to increase its stability for more accurate and precise shots. But what should it be like, and what are the options? This guide contains everything you want to know about this gear. But while many shooters and hunters can do pretty well without one, if your goal is an inch-perfect shot, the right rest is a must-have. Choosing a shooting rest isn’t the most exciting thing. ![]()

![]() ![]() The influence of another great American comic book artist we both loved, Neal Adams, is all over this one. Together, he says, they worked on an imaginary story of The Warrior (referenced by the original inner sleeve concept outline and the album track, “Warriors” – “losers or conquerors, all flash past on my silver screen”) and “reworked the roughs to reflect this idea until it all held together. (Lynott would feature, coincidentally, in a 1978 rock opera version of War of the Worlds.) “Philip wanted something that reflected these influences and this artwork was the result,” recalled Fitzpatrick. The all-for-one-and-one-for-all bravado continued, albeit with a sleek metallic/robotic sheen and another pronounced Marvel Comics’ influence with a side order of H.G. Thin Lizzy album cover number three with Jim Fitzpatrick, who at this point was completely in sync with Philip Lynott’s ambitious notions for cover artwork. Thin Lizzy – Jailbreak (1976, illustrated by Jim Fitzpatrick) We would have had a real job explaining that one to the record company!” The primed and poised black panther “was a silent tribute by both of us to great African-Americans like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Tommie Smith, John Carlos, the Black Power, and the Black Panther movement. “Philip was very sure of the direction he wanted to go,” says Fitzpatrick, “hence the sullen, moody, almost threatening cover.” The cover design, he recalls, was intended as a veiled political statement, but the pair kept that to themselves. The second Thin Lizzy album cover to be designed by Jim Fitzpatrick was, he said, “a slightly odd one.” A transitional work that presages the band’s classic twin-guitar line-up, the influence of Roger Dean in the title lettering is clear, while there is also an admitted influence by the work of Marvel comic strip artists Jim Steranko and Jack Kirby, both of whom Fitzpatrick and Lynott were passionate fans. Thin Lizzy – Nightlife (1974, illustrated by Jim Fitzpatrick) “This was my first artwork for Thin Lizzy and probably my most ‘out there’ album cover I did for them.” (“I just glossed it up a little,” says Fitzpatrick.) Elsewhere, Fitzpatrick weaved in a pronounced Marvel comics and Celtic design aesthetic (in the latter, especially the triple spiral, which is symbolic of three domains: earth, sea and sky, and past/present/future). ![]() Commissioned by Lynott to design the cover for their third album, Fitzpatrick worked on the Thin Lizzy logo, which was based on a design by fellow Irish illustrator, and member of Dr. “Philip and I had a love of American comic books, poetry, Ireland and all things Irish, and a shared fatherless upbringing,” recollected Fitzpatrick. Thin Lizzy – Vagabonds of the Western World (1973, illustrated by Jim Fitzpatrick)ĭublin artist Jim Fitzpatrick was introduced to Philip Lynott in Neary’s pub, in Dublin’s city centre, by Lynott’s friend and Thin Lizzy tour manager, Frank Murray (who would subsequently manage The Pogues). Stephen’s Green”) directly references the back cover image by Dublin photographer Roy Esmond of Thin Lizzy doing exactly that. A lyric from the title track, meanwhile, (“the boys posed, standing in St. Some of the album’s tracks also reference the suggested simplicity of the album cover: “Sarah” (the first of two Lynott-composed songs of the same title) was written for Lynott’s Dublin-based grandmother, in whose house he lived for much of his childhood. The title of Thin Lizzy’s second album, meanwhile, referenced previous bands for Lynott (Orphanage) and Bell (Shades of Blue). The evocative sepia-tinted cover image of three shoeless waifs (originally titled Street Urchins at Lambeth, by Paul Martin) was clearly intended to represent vocalist Philip Lynott, guitarist Eric Bell, and drummer Brian Downey. Thin Lizzy – Shades of a Blue Orphanage (1972, design by Decca in-house cover art photograph by Radio Times Hulton Picture Library) ![]() “The work of our department,” wrote David Wedgbury in the preface to his photography book, As Years Go By – the 60s Revolution at British Decca, “did much to establish and influence the emerging art of pop photography.” The back cover photography is attributed to Jennifer Edwards (although Dublin photographer Roy Esmond’s uncredited work is also featured). He died suddenly in 1998, aged 61, having photographed 1960s music talent that would change pop culture forever. Wedgbury quickly gravitated towards art design for the label, and then creative studio manager. The appealing fisheye lens cover image was taken by David Wedgbury, the first staff photographer to be employed by Decca. Thin Lizzy signed with Decca Records on December 1, 1970, and within five months their debut album was released.

Although the increase in added sugar per serving appears to be small, the cumulative effect of consuming ‘empty calories' over several years could have important health consequences.Ĭonsuming excess sugar even in small amounts (⩾10% of total calories) has been shown to be harmful, leading to weight gain, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Keebler, vienna fingers with crème fillingįindings from this study suggest that consuming foods lower in fat have higher sugar content despite having lower calories. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA, version 12.1 (STATA, College Station, TX, USA). Differences among and between food groups were analyzed using the Friedman test, followed by post hoc Wilcoxon signed-rank test, respectively. Continuous variables were represented as medians with interquartile range. The database includes information on the mean nutrient values per 100 g of the edible portion of food including the amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates. This database lists the nutritional content of over 8000 generic and brand name food products and is the major source of food composition data in the US. 5 SR17 was chosen as the initial data set for comparison because it is the earliest version with the most complete nutrient information. ![]() We compared the nutritional content of the same foods listed on the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference released in 2004 (SR17) (SR27). The site lists high-calorie/high-fat foods that have low-calorie, non-fat alternatives. We evaluated the nutrient value of the list of foods recommended by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute on a website entitled ‘Low-calorie, lower fat alternative foods' ( ). 2, 3 The purpose of this study is to determine whether these ‘healthier' versions of common foods have more sugar than their ‘regular' counterparts. However, the food industry may have replaced fat with sugar, which may be more obesogenic even if the calories per portion are less. Over the subsequent decades, several health advocacy groups have echoed these same recommendations, giving rise to America's current aversion to fatty foods. The impetus for creating low-fat foods can be traced to the McGovern Committee, which issued a report in 1977 recommending that Americans eat less fat and more complex carbohydrates to prevent diabetes, heart disease and stroke. 1 Perhaps it is not only how much we are eating, but also what we are eating that may be encouraging our bodies to store fat. Despite numerous recommendations on how to achieve this goal, a third of adults and 17% of children are obese. The solution is simple in theory: eat less and exercise more. Conventional thinking suggests that obesity is caused by an imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended thus, any excess of calories will result in obesity. Obesity remains a significant public health concern in the United States (US). ![]() ![]() The tautly tuned suspension becomes more pronounced with the largest 20-inch wheels.We've owned Land Rover products for nearly 20 years, and 5 years ago we left for Toyota (we purchased a 4runner and a Lexus SUV) because the frustrations of owning a Land Rover were interrupting our life (the service manager and Land Rover and I used to joke, that I should park the cars at the dealership, because they spent more time in the shop than in my garage).

Maybe you’ve come across it while looking for fat loss solutions and you’re curious about whether it would be the right approach for you. The restrictive OPTAVIA diet is low in the three food components most often overconsumed in America: sodium, saturated fat and added sugar.Have you heard of the OPTAVIA diet? It’s one of those trends that’s been floating around on social media, with a mix of transformation photos boasting its effectiveness and plenty of criticism. ![]() However, dieters could be sure to work in beet greens, tomatoes, chicken and salmon to boost their potassium intake. Many of the best sources of potassium – such as cantaloupe, bananas, oranges, potatoes, beans and lentils – are excluded from the weight loss plan. The fiber in highly-processed foods is unlikely to be as beneficial for health as the intact fiber found in foods, like beans, berries and whole grains. Although certain leafy green vegetables are rich sources of calcium, the mineral is bound to an oxalate substance in these foods, making the calcium unabsorbable. On the OPTAVIA diet, these nutrients are primarily provided via nutrient-fortified Fuelings.īecause the OPTAVIA diet is low in carbs and calories, it can result in potential health problems, including: However, it’s offset by the lack of foods naturally rich in calcium, such as milk and yogurt, which are slowly added back once you’ve moved out of the weight loss phase.īesides calcium and vitamin D, dairy products provide phosphorus, vitamin A, potassium, protein and several B vitamins to your diet.

In an open letter, Uday Mahurkar, an information commissioner, said the scene was “a direct assault on religious beliefs of a billion tolerant Hindus”.
