Patty McDanielsPublished 5 years ago in LifehackPractical Drills for the Home Defense Shotgunner
In this modern era, tactical rifles and carbines are in vogue and yes there are certain times where the carbine specifically in 5.56 is the better choice for the home, but everyone should learn to run a pump gun. You see, for many people a shotgun is a better choice as you can usually find a good one for much less than you would pay for an AR or other modern sporting rifle. Guns such as the Mossberg 590 or 500, Bennelli Nova and SuperNova, and the Remington 870 will give you a good working gun straight from the box with enough money left over to buy plenty of birdshot for practice and a good mix of slugs and buck. The value priced AR's may or may not run from the box and may or may not have good iron sights on them. Either way, the shotgun will be quicker to present to the target than AR iron sights at the close ranges found in a home.

Having a clear mind and a clear space allows you to think and act with a purpose. -Unknown Making a List Making a "to-do" list for the day may seem too simple, but it's the most effective way to start your day off right. Every morning or even before bed, I'll make a list of what I need to do that day or the day before so I can stay on top of what I need to do. You can make a long or short list of what you want to do for the day. If you're new I would recommend staring off with a small list so you don't get too overwhelmed, all at once. A to-do list is a great way to accomplish what you need to do and stay organized.

Firefighters and Hidden Dangers
We've all seen and heard the fire engine roaring through the intersection, on the way to an emergency. We take it for granted, that someone will always be willing to sacrifice themselves to save the people and things that are important to us. There are things that we do every day in our homes and at our places of employment that further endanger the men and women that have taken it upon themselves to ensure our safety. Until I married a firefighter, I didn't really pay attention to all the hazards we create in our home.

Celestial BardPublished 5 years ago in LifehackThirty Ways to Use Florida Water
Spiritual waters, or eaux in French perfumery, are solutions of fragrant essential oils combined with distilled water and some degree of perfumer’s alcohol or grain alcohol, with or without the addition of other fragrant substances. Often they are charged with odorous principles of flowers (i.e. Eau de Rose). They originated in the South of France or Italy, and were transported to New Orleans with the earliest perfumers. By far, the most popular of spiritual waters in the various magickal traditions is Florida water. Florida water is the American answer to Eau de Cologne, or Cologne Water. Originally valued as a unisex cologne, Florida water was preferable to other, stronger smelling perfumes. It was used in copious amounts in barbershops as aftershave and cologne. Florida water shares the same citrus base as Cologne water, but has the addition of sweet orange (rather than the lemon and neroli of the original Cologne Water), and adds spicy notes, including lavender and clove. According to the current trademark holders, Lanman & Kemp Barclay, Florida Water was introduced by the New York City perfumer (and founder of the original company) Robert Murray in 1808. The company states that their product, now sold under the Murray & Lanman brand, still uses the original 1808 formula, and that the current label is also a slightly modified version of the 1808 original.
