Beskrivelse av overnattingssted

Hostel Cornel is the younger brother of Hostel Costel, with the same funky vibe and character but with a different location - right in the middle of the action. Basically it’s just around the Cornel from the main square – Unirii. And as it is usually the fact the 'younger' brother is a bit bigger - having 50 beds. We aim to host you in the friendliest atmosphere possible and make you experience the most of the city. After 7 years of experience with our previous hostel, as well as our adventures as travelers in hostels all over the world - we know what you want. We love to travel as well!

If you are the kind of person who wants to be close to where all the fuss is happening, this is the spot. The Hostel just around the Cornel! The hostel is located just behind Unirii Square - 150 m to get there. Just across the street there is the Faculty of Arts and the Revolution Museum. The pedestrian area, bar's and pub's area all reachable by basically getting out of the hostel.

All the private rooms and the quadruple rooms have their own bathroom, fridge and TV. For the dorms there are 6 toilets and 5 showers, should be more than enough. There is a small kitchenette with a big fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee-machine and water heater. There’s free coffee and tea all day. Unfortunately it’s not suited for fancy cooking as there is no stove. All the rooms have fans for really hot summer nights. Of course WiFi is free all over the building.

 “It’s been awesome just to watch them,” Seymour said, speaking of his Patriots teammates. “You have to take your hats off to them. The way they’ve been able to play, it just speaks volumes for the level of consistency that’s here, from all different levels – from ownership to the coaching staff to the players. I think we have a well-oiled machine. We’re looking to take it one game at a time, focus on the task at hand and improve from here.”

 The Patriots improved on Sunday: Seymour made the transition from spectator to player.

 “It was good to have him back out there,” Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said following his team’s 52-7 thumping of the Washington Redskins at Gillette Stadium.

Eased back into action, Seymour participated in less than half the plays in a game in which the Redskins’ offense was on the field for only 22:11. He failed to make a single tackle.

More important than what might have been seen, or not seen, on the stat sheet, however, was the mere fact that the five-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman was back from the knee injury that had sidelined him for nearly half the regular season.

 “It’s definitely been a long road,” said Seymour. “It’s been a journey, something that I haven’t experienced in my career. But I think every year is different. It presents different challenges.

 “It was a tough road, to say the least,” said Seymour. “There are a few people I definitely have to thank – my wife being one of them for putting up with me for those seven weeks. The training staff for preparing me to get back out on the football field. Then also for my teammates for (welcoming) me back and the fans for giving me a warm welcome back.”

 When asked to assess his performance, Seymour was rather vague.

 “It’s kind of hard to tell,” he said. “You have to go back and look at the film. You have to get a level of conditioning. You can do all the running that you want to do, but until you get out on the football field (you can’t gauge your progress). That's why we have some preseason games.

 “I’m just looking to build on this next week (when the Patriots will be at Indianapolis),” said Seymour. “There’s still a lot of football left to be played.”

 *****Faulk talk: *****

In need of two catches to move past Gino Cappelletti
and into sixth place on the Patriots’ all-time receptions list, Kevin Faulk made quick work of his task, grabbing three passes from Brady on the team’s opening possession, a 14—play, 90-yard drive that resulted in a 3-yard scramble for a touchdown by the quarterback.

 The nine-year veteran finished the game with seven catches for 57 yards, pushing his career total to 298 receptions, most ever by a Patriots running back.

 “It’s just something about being ready,” said Faulk, who also carried the ball five times for 32 yards in the game. “You never know when you’re going to be called.”

 ***** Long time coming: *****

The win was the Patriots’ first in 35 years against the Redskins.

 The ’Skins took six straight wins during that time and now hold a 6-2 lead in the series.

***** Message to Matt?: *****

Interesting development on the pregame inactive list where, one week after Matt Cassel’s fourth-quarter interception and subsequent benching in Miami, the Patriots did not designate rookie Matt Gutierrez as their third quarterback.

 When it came time to go to the bullpen, however, Cassel got the first call, entering the game with 8-1/2 minutes to play and promptly driving the team to a touchdown, completing 2 of 3 passes for 28 yards and putting the finishing touches on the drive when he scrambled around right end and in from the 15 with 5:53 to play.

 After the Redskins scored their touchdown to avoid the shutout, Gutierrez mopped up, taking the field with 2:56 remaining and, following an exchange of punts, the game-ending kneel down.

 Linebacker Eric Alexander, offensive tackle Wesley Britt, defensive lineman Kareem Brown, safety Mel Mitchell, running back Sammy Morris, tight end Benjamin Watson, safety Eugene Wilson and guard Billy Yates were listed as inactive by New England.

 Alexander (knee), Mitchell (groin), Morris (chest), Watson (ankle) and Wilson (ankle) were all injury-related decisions.

 Washington’s list of inactives included former Patriots wide receiver Reche Caldwell, who has appeared in just one game this year and yet to make a catch for the Redskins.

Earle W. Noyes & Sons Joins Community to Help Young Portland Cart Vendor Get Started

PORTLAND, ME — Earle W. Noyes & Sons has joined others in the community to support Eric Hughes’s build his business dream.

Eric Pizza ExpressA 21-year-old graduate of Gray-New Gloucester high school and a student at Strive U, Hughes, was born with Williams Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes development delays and learning disabilities.

Hughes’s disability, however, has never stopped him from dreaming about running a food-cart business in Portland.

Through his attendance at Strive U, a University of Southern Maine program that helps developmentally disabled young adults learn to live independently, Hughes conceptualized Eric’s Pizza Express based on his lifelong dream of operating a food cart. Strive U helped him make some resourceful connections that have pulled together to help him pursue his dream.

Hughes received help for writing a business plan, building a cart, sourcing ingredients, getting start-up money, and putting a marketing strategy together.

Hughes’s food cart business was on a roll — the only thing he needed was overnight storage for his cart.

When William Noyes, Operations Director at Earle W. Noyes & Sons, was asked to provide Eric a storage site, he readily agreed to do that at no cost. “This community has rallied to support Eric’s enthusiastic vision for his business, and we are very happy to pitch in to see him realize his dream,” said Noyes.

Eric’s Pizza Express is located at the corner of Marginal Way and Chestnut Street in Portland’s Old Port from April through September.

Chicago, IL Wrongful Death Attorneys

DuPage County Nursing Home Wrongful Death Attorney

Nursing Home Wrongful Death Lawyers Handle Cases Throughout Illinois

Nursing home abuse and neglect is a growing problem that is getting worse as our population ages. Patient load increases and staffing shortages have caused many of the most vulnerable in our society to receive substandard care. Sadly, many victims of nursing home mistreatment do not survive. If you have lost a loved one who was in a nursing home, and you believe it was a result of negligent or abusive treatment, it is important to speak to a skilled wrongful death attorney, so you understand your rights and options.

At Schwartz Injury Law, we are committed to fighting for the rights of nursing home abuse and neglect victims and their families. We have in-depth knowledge of this area of the law, and we have the dedication and resources necessary to hold those responsible for this egregious conduct fully accountable. We understand what family members go through when they lose a loved one due to nursing home mistreatment, and we work closely with you to ensure the legal process is smooth and seamless.

Wrongful Death in Illinois Nursing Homes

Studies show that preventable deaths in nursing homes have risen exponentially in recent years. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Falls: The largest percentage of premature nursing home deaths is due to falls. When frail and vulnerable elderly people fall down, they can easily sustain serious fractures and other types of injuries that often turn fatal.
  • Choking: Alzheimer's and dementia patients, residents who have difficulty chewing or swallowing, and those with no teeth or ill-fitting dentures are at a high risk of choking. When there is inadequate staffing, nursing homes often lack the manpower to properly monitor residents during mealtime.
  • Assault: Elder abuse in the form of assault by nursing home staff or other patients often causes life-threatening injuries and fatalities.
  • Bed Sores: Staffing shortages often lead to a situation where patients are left lying in one spot for an extended period of time without being repositioned. This can cause serious and potentially fatal bed sores.
  • Medication Errors: Overmedicating, under-medicating, improper mixtures of medications, failure to provide food or water with medications, losing track of medications, and many other medication errors can lead to fatalities.

Nursing home wrongful death cases can be quite complicated. The death of a nursing home resident is typically due to a series of events that happen over a period of time. Even falls are not one-time events; they are usually the result of a poorly designed care plan and/or failure of staff to properly monitor the patient. To prevail in a wrongful death action, you need to understand the complexities of such cases and how to review the nursing home documentation to identify various red flags that may indicate the presence of abuse or substandard care.

Morning Watch 6/14/11

Seems like I've had a lot of posts lately but it's been a busy time down at the shelter. This morning was the first day we were joined by a new volunteer who has actually been in the UGM Men's Shelter recovery program for the past 11 months and is now tasked with filling some of his time with work, part of which he's fulfilling by joining the Morning Watch van. It was lots of fun to watch him interact with the homeless people we met today because he was so excited to be out there trying to help and was in-tune with their situations in a way that Tim and I, hopefully, will never be able to understand.

Our first stop was back at Westlake Center visiting the lady we see most mornings. She wasn't doing as well today and we never managed to get her up. Part of the problem may have been the method by which her rest was initially disturbed. Just before we reached her, as we were parking the van, I watched a police officer, Officer J. Dotson, approach where she was sleeping, and abruptly remove a piece of cardboard she had on its side shielding her from wind and perhaps a little noise. He grabbed one of her bags and tossed it aside and finally reached down, grabbed her sleeping bag and pulled it down and off her. A complete and absolute disregard for her well-being and lack of any compassion what-so-ever. I don't care what experience you have on the street, I'm sure he sees and deals with homeless people all the time, it makes me sick to think that someone that I trust by default to serve justice in my city, someone that I pay with my tax dollars and someone that should be a role model for the citizens of the city, would treat another person, especially someone so vulnerable, in such a manner. Some kind of sick, disturbing power trip...and from what I've heard this is more than likely the rule, not the exception.
When we finally got to her and introduced ourselves to the officer he smiled without a care or concern in the world, like what he was doing to this poor lady was completely normal and shouldn't cause the kind of shame I expected to see in his eyes when he looked up. Our new volunteer offered his hand and introduced himself and the officer rejected the handshake! He said, "no, I'm okay" and proceeded to ignore our new Men's shelter volunteer. I didn't offer him a handshake after seeing this, though now I wish I had because I'm curious if he'd have accepted it after shunning the man standing next to me.
He left and that frustration was at least passed, if not quite over. After all that we managed to wrangle 3 new folks to take them to breakfast. One of them was in a wheel chair. She could walk but had something wrong with one of her legs so it was with a distinct limp. Fortunately wheel chairs fold up so we were able to fit everybody and their things into the van.
As we prepared to leave a kid approached the van and asked about what we were doing. He said he was starving but couldn't join us because he was with friends and they all had bicycles. We told him how to get to the mission and when breakfast was served and hopefully they made it, though we didn't see them down there after leaving Westlake Center.

Next we took our new volunteer down to the waterfront to see the totem pole and meet our friends there. I told one of the carvers about a laundry service in Belltown because he was asking about options yesterday but he had already figured something out...there is a surprising lack of coin laundromats near the waterfront. We were only there briefly before receiving a call up to the Town Center to pick up the same two older folks we've met there a few times before and from there I just walked to work as it was almost 9am already.

I've been looking for more blogs like mine so that I can read up on what other people are doing and I've found several awesome sites. One in particular is  This is a great website/feed that interviews homeless individuals on camera and asks them about their stories, how they got where they are, what they are doing to get off the street and the hardest question: "if you had three wishes, what would they be?" There are some very powerful videos up there and I recommend watching a few of them when you get the chance. I may blog about some of them in the future but I'll give some of you a chance to catch up first posts are getting longer and more frequent, I've got to watch that I don't lose anybody because I get too laborious to read.

Peace, and God Bless

Second-rate grains

Written by

Climate change will affect the nutritional composition of rice for the worse, according to a study which grew rice plants under different carbon dioxide levels. The research, published in Science Advances in May, found that simulating atmospheric carbon dioxide levels predicted at the end of the century (570 parts per million, compared with the current 410) resulted in a grain with lower levels of protein, iron and zinc, as well as lower levels of the vitamins B1, B2, B5 and B9. More than two billion people depend on rice as their primary food source.

Sewer Project Gets Go-Ahead

By Sondra Murphy

While other agencies struggle over funding infrastructure maintenance and repairs, Ojai Valley Sanitary District is quietly improving its system. The OVSD board of directors held a special meeting Monday, where they voted unanimously to give the project a green light. They received the final declaration of negative impact in preparation for construction of the Ventura Avenue sewer system improvements project. The purpose of the $3 million project is to improve the efficiency and reliability of the waste water collection and transportation systems, as well as to meet the needs of planned growth in the area. Project components include replacement of the Orchard lift station, the abandonment and demolition of the Petrochem lift station, construction of a new gravity sewer pipeline to transport waste water flows formerly handled by the Petrochem and Orchard lift stations, construction of a new force main waste water pipeline to transport water from the new Orchard lift station to

Oklahoma Wesleyan University’s (OKWU) School of Education is pleased to welcome two new professors, Keri Bostwick and Stacy Gerth, for the 2013-14 school year.  As some of Bartlesville’s finest teachers, they bring a variety of experiences and skills to the program including teacher of the year awards, curriculum development in Australia, and a strong commitment to their faith.

Keri Bostwick

Keri Bostwick became the director of the OKWU’s Masters of Education program this fall, the same program through which she earned her own B.A. in Secondary English Education and Master’s of Education.  Before her return to OKWU, Bostwick was employed for 15 years by Bartlesville Public Schools (BPS) where she was honored as Teacher of the Year in 2010.

Bostwick’s decision to leave BPS wasn’t easy, but she saw the chance to make an impact from a different side of education. “I am convinced that a collision with Truth changes lives.  I see lives changed daily in my classroom,” she said, and continued: “This excites me most:  to be faced with the opportunity to impact more lives than just the 80 or 90 I have been seeing…If God calls me out of what I have known for the last sixteen years to do that, what an honor for me to be chosen this way.”

But despite the accolades, honors, and prospect of doctorate study within the year, Bostwick still maintains a normal, healthy outlook with her husband, Michael, also a BPS teacher, and their three children.  She says her passions include “her faith, her family, her friends, her field of study, and football—specifically Denver Broncos football.”

Stacy Gerth
Stacy Gerth

Stacy Gerth also joined OKWU from Bartlesville Public Schools where she recently taught fifth grade at Wayside Elementary School.  Like Bostwick, Gerth began her teaching career after graduating from Bartlesville Wesleyan College.  She earned her Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Oklahoma State University in 1996.  Gerth was named Teacher of the Year at Oak Park Elementary for three consecutive years.

“I returned to OKWU to try to make a difference in my profession….I want to pass on my experience and my love of teaching to as many teacher candidates as I can.  I want every elementary student to have the opportunity to have a teacher that knows what they’re doing and loves it!” said Gerth.

Though she spent a majority of her career at BPS, Gerth volunteered at a public elementary school while living in Perth, Australia, for six years.  During her time down under, she also worked for the International School of Perth as a teacher and curriculum coordinator.  Gerth has been married to her husband, Mitch, for 28 years.  They have three children.

The School of Education also welcomed Dr. Robert Bonner into his new position as Dean (he had previously held Gerth’s position) and a new secretary.  The new hires will help continue the rich tradition of excellence in OKWU’s School of Education that has found tremendous success in training and placing graduates in Oklahoma and the United States since 1974.

A recognized educational leader, the University has also received national recognition from U.S. News and World Report, Forbes.com, and CBS News Money Watch both for its excellent academic reputation as well as its missional integrity.  But perhaps most importantly, OKWU is known for its bold and clear mission which emphasizes the Primacy of Jesus Christ, the Priority of Scripture, the Pursuit of Truth and the Practice of Wisdom.  The University and School of Education are pleased to welcome Keri Bostwick and Stacy Gerth into that legacy.

Beauty Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe vera juice is the liquid that comes out of the aloe vera plant when cut or squeezed. It is used medicinally as a soothing ointment for burns, cuts and scrapes. Today it is used for the more purposes. I love aloe vera juice of gel for sunburn treatment especially in summer, and I think it makes a great skin protector to be used on dry patches of skin.

Aloe vera juice has more recently become very popular as a drink and for use internally. It brings you a step closer to being truly healthy and beauty. By drinking 2-4 oz twice a day, aloe vera juice can alleviate or eliminate your constipation. Aloe is also packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients. This array of nutrients gives it its natural healing power.

Most of us know that aloe vera is excellent for treatment of minor cuts and scrapes, burns and also sunburn. And it is also can remove acne, relax the bowels, maintain beauty and keep young. It is used in all kinds of cosmetics and I like to have a bottle 99% pure aloe for emergencies and of course to apply on my face and hair before bedtime.

Aloe vera juice not only has many good effects but also has many flavors such as natural aloe flavor, cranberry flavor, apple flavor, strawberry flavor and kiwi flavor and so on. So, it is a good choice for us to drink it especially in summer.

Bridgestone Weather Control A001 Tyres Available in Oldham

Bridgestone Weather Control A001

Weather Control A001

The A001 has been developed for specific European regions with moderate climates and wet, light winters such as the UK, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, northern France, western Germany and Denmark. The new Bridgestone A001 is designed to give drivers in these regions a confident, safe driving experience all year round.

The tyre is dynamic and easy to drive thanks to excellent front-rear balance, stable cornering and strong traction in both wet and dry. On wet roads, the specially designed lens-shaped blocks ensure smooth water evacuation with low water turbulence, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. With the A001 drivers don’t have to worry if winter does strike. The pattern’s high-density siping has plenty of edge effect, for confident handling and braking on cold, frozen and snowy roads. Where summer tyres fail to perform, the A001 takes motorists safely into cold and more challenging winter conditions. Bridgestone has also tuned the tread pattern for low noise and optimum road contact in all surface conditions.

  • All-weather Silica compound ensures dynamic, confident handling all year round, while balancing dry performance and tyre life
  • Specially designed lens shape water evacuation blocks for reduced risk of hydroplaning
  • High-grip sipes provide superior braking response even on cold and frozen roads

Sorry, we currently do not have any tyres with the Weather Control A001 pattern in stock.
Contact us to see if we can order these in for you.

Johannes Olszewski

Film director | Marketing | Management

Johannes was born in the south of Munich in 1993. Very much to be regretted by his mother he started slacklining and highlining at the early age of 12. From this point on he was looking for the most spectacular and unique locations worldwide to push slacklining to new levels and show off that creativity and impossibility are exact the needed requirements for the development of this young and crazy sport.

In 2014 Johannes started working as a director for commercials and outdoor documentaries. His passion for finding special places is still one of his biggest talents and the groundation of his work. He believes in the idea that an inch wide webbing tensioned across rusty war theatres, living volcanos or the highest mountain peaks transforms the place itself in something lively and that slacklining is the best platform to reach the audience of a brands campaign.

Annice Asks: Can Balance be Achieved without Winning the Lottery?

It feels great to be recognized by the Huffington Post.  Bravo to them for providing a global platform for women over 50 to speak their mind!   Today, I was going to blog about a friend of mine who was looking for a simplifying expert because she felt so overwhelmed, but since HuffPo posted my thoughts regarding The Third Metric: Redefining Success Beyond Money and Power, I decided to re-post.  Looking forward to hear what you feel about this almost universal topic.

I’ve been following the buzz around The Third Metric, and all I can say is why (as women) did we wait so long to start redefining what seems so obvious?  When I was in my 20s and 30s, success meant money and power because that’s how men defined it, and I modeled my success after theirs, as did most women.  My opinion about money and power has changed over time, and as a working woman over 50, I can tell you that power doesn’t have the same connotation as it did in my earlier years, though one thing remains constant: money.  Let me explain.

In my late 40s, after twenty years of a demanding and exciting career in Washington, D.C., I decided to take the plunge and get out of Dodge City.  My husband and I wanted a simpler life, where we could spend more time in nature and not have to work 60 hours a week.  Well, we have that, and guess what?  I miss my big fat salary from D.C.  You know why?  Because money provides you the power to be free — free to buy that airline ticket to visit your best friend who’s been living in Senegal for five years; free to fly clear across the country to your nephew’s wedding and give him a wonderful gift; free to have the funds to send your granddaughter to Shakespeare camp in the summer; free to help a friend whose home is about to go into foreclosure because she just lost her job; free to hire someone to clean your house every week so you don’t have to spend the weekend cleaning; free not to worry about the cost of everything you do.

So, one can opt out of the fast life and redefine success, but the trade-off is often lower wages, because big salaries and big benefits go with big cities and, until I left DC, I didn’t actually know that on a gut level.  Nor did I know how poorly a well-educated person could be paid.  I see women every day, working passionately in a job they love, earning low wages.  Women work hard, often without benefits, and it’s not always because corporations don’t have the resources to pay them.  Sometimes, those businesses don’t give benefits simply because they don’t have to.  You see, where I live, and where many Americans live, some folks think if you’re earning $40,000, that’s a good wage.  Oh sure, I live in the mountains and have a great view and wouldn’t go back to the big city, but even in small towns, women are overworked, overwhelmed and basically depleted.  For many working women over 50, retirement is nowhere in sight.

My women friends and colleagues aren’t complaining about wanting more success or power in conventional terms.  We’re not even complaining about working, being a parent or cleaning the house; we just want more money when we work so we have more choices when we are not working.  We’d love to go to Bali with our girlfriends for a retreat and we’d love to have more time for our aging parents, not to mention the resources needed to keep them comfortable during their elder years.  So for men and lots of women I know, money is still high on the ladder of success.  Only it doesn’t represent power in an egocentric or dominant manner — it represents freedom, pure and simple.

This post is part of a series produced by The Huffington Post in conjunction with our women’s conference, “The Third Metric: Redefining Success Beyond Money & Power” which will take place in New York on June 6, 2013. To read all of the posts in the series and learn more about the conference, click here. Join the conversation on Twitter #ThirdMetric.

About Sadhvi

Sadhvi's trying to find the balance in life over 50 without having any surgery, taking any pills, or killing anyone. She doesn't want to look or feel the way she felt when she was 20 or 30. Trusting that everything is really OK unless you think about it helps her make it through each day. Also realizing that nothing can be done, and, that nothing matters really helps. Gardening (and weeding), poppies and flowers, painting on things, baking, and sharing on Oops50 helps to make it all right too.

5 thoughts on “Annice Asks: Can Balance be Achieved without Winning the Lottery?

  1. Good idea Va – maybe all those women who make the big $$’s could have a free cruise, for a week, for all us that are trying to keep our head above water. They could hear comments from the other side of the fence.

  2. @Va Boyle: that is a great idea you have…living in a commune in the 80’s, which was often described as “an experiment to provoke God” was such a place where we didn’t posess money. We didn’t have to buy things, everything was provided for us. It was nice.
    We worked. We loved being there. It would work on a smaller scale too.

  3. Annice–I really enjoyed reading your thoughts on money. Can I also add that once you retire it becomes even more important unless you just have so much it is not a worry; there are not many women in that category, at least that I know of. It would be interesting to see a survey on percentage of women in different monetary categories. Wouldn’t it be neat if groups of women in the “have to worrry some” category got together and formed some kind of money making corporation and made money for themselves so they could relax and spend without too much worry?

  4. Annice, I don’t think there is any other way than to play the lottery and win. Great post on the sad situation that may never change. I try to focus on things that make me happy, more and more, leaving the world behind.

Gun-Training Class Teaches Students To Keep Loaded Firearms Under The Bed

Publish date:

A North Carolina concealed carry handgun class is teaching students more than just shooting techniques and liabilities, but also giving out reckless advice, according to one of the class’ attendants.

“Perhaps the most shocking was the advice we received from a practicing law enforcement officer regarding the storage of firearms: under the bed, preferably loaded,” wrote Ty L. Bullard, a North Carolina doctor who recently published an op-ed in the Charlotte Observer about his recent experience in a concealed carry handgun class.

In order to obtain a concealed carry handgun in North Carolina, a person must complete the state mandated class. But the class may be doing more harm than good according to Bullard:

“Our instructor was well-qualified enough – a very experienced local law enforcement officer, with considerable advanced weapons training of all sorts. We proceeded directly into the letter of the law regarding explicitly what the state did and did not allow regarding concealed handguns. And then, almost immediately, things began to descent into a mockery of reason and good judgment.”

Among the questions asked, wrote Bullard, were, “What if I come home and someone is in my house? Can I take my gun inside and shoot them?” to which the instructor responded, “Well, the law says technically not if you’re outside, but as long as you put yourself in the house then you should be good.”

David Harrington, a North Carolina firearms instructor, told the Record-Eagle that leaving a loaded gun under your bed “is the most foolish thing you can ever do, in my opinion – other than having it under your pillow.”

In North Carolina, the concealed carry handgun classes consist of eight hours of instruction and extra time spent on the shooting range. Instructors are provided with standard lesson plans, according to the Record-Eagle, but they are allowed to register their own course materials with the state. There is also a questions and answers portion.

“I’ll be honest: The people ask some crazy questions in class,” Harrington said. “And I don’t think it’s much that they’re the ‘shoot first’ type as that they’re thinking about the oddest scenarios they can come up with.”

But it’s up to the instructors to use those questions and scenarios as teaching moments, rather than fuel students’ paranoia, he said.

“When I teach my courses, I teach that your gun is your last line of defense, not your first line of defense,” Harrington said.

Harrington said instructors like the one Bullard encountered are the ones that give programs like these a bad name.

“You’re just handing our certificates for money,” he said. “I probably have more people fail my class than any other instructor in my area. I tell them, ‘If you’re not safe, I will not pass you.’”
