Hank Azaria And Tyrel Jackson Williams Test Their Mental Stability - Duration: 3:08.
- I'm Hank Azaria, this is,
- Tyrel Jackson Williams
- We're doing a Rorschach test today.
You want to go first or you want to hold one of them?
(upbeat jazzy music)
Well, that's quite obviously a little teddy bear
with a double pronged penis.
Riddle me this.
- Thats just...
a dick.
- Yeah, it's a dick.
What if- Still a dick?
- That looks a little bit like Venom now.
(laughs)
- You single out a villain.
You know I was the voice of Venom in the 90s.
- What? In what?
- Spiderman cartoon in the 90s.
- Y'all stop being so integral in my childhood, Hank.
- Me?
- Yeah
- Simpsons, Spiderman, what does this look like to you?
- There's something Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle about it.
He's got a very,
tiny little dick.
All these guys have dicks.
- Very, very small.
- Look at that poor guy.
This is a cautionary tale.
- This is just what steroids does to you.
(laughs)
- Yes.
- You will become this.
- Here, enjoy this.
- High school.
See what your thoughts are on this.
- Is it your turn?
- See, it seems too obvious.
- It does.
There's a deeper meaning.
- So, it's not just shorts?
- No.
You gotta look past it.
- Are those cargo shorts?
- Yes.
- Okay, which I own, have many pairs of,
but then I'm sure you can confirm this,
somewhere in the last few years they've become
just like kind of old man things to wear.
- Yeah, kind of.
- So, essentially I see my own death.
- Okay, cool.
- My own obsolescence of death.
- So a glimpse at your own mortality?
- What do you see here?
What do you think of this?
- I see a problem.
(laughs) - Do ya?
- I see an issue.
- I see a lot of solutions.
If this were a sexual practice,
what name would it be called?
- That's a tolly-wop right there.
- A tolly-wop?
- That's a tolly-wop.
Ready for the companion piece?
- Yeah, here we go, sure.
See now, one could definitely interpret that
as a giraffe stuck its head
up a woman's ass.
Be very hard to argue against that interpretation.
Maybe she's just shitting out
- She's just shitting out a giraffe.
- Slang term for that?
- Neckinsnine.
Got to be.
(laughs)
- Anything else you want to say about this?
- No, nothing other than
the new Jim Henson movie looks really great.
- I'm not a health care professional,
but overall, I would say,
based on that,
you really are quite deeply disturbed.
- Um, and I agree with you 100%.
- What about me?
- No, you're the most healthy, adjusted person
I've ever come in contact with.

Jeep Wrangler Falken Wildpeak All Terrain Tire (29-35") (1987-2018 YJ, TJ, JK & JL) Review - Duration: 4:03.
The Falken WILDPEAK all-terrain tire is for those of you that have a 1987 all the way
up through the most current model year Wrangler that are looking for a high-quality all-terrain
tire.
This is going to come in sizes from 29 to 35 inches, and for wheel sizes of 15 to 20
inches, so you can have a lot of different options for which size tire you're looking
for.
This is going to be, as I said, a quality all-terrain tire.
The big difference between an all-terrain tire and a mud-terrain tire, and why you might
want an all-terrain tire, is if you spend a good bit of time on the road but you still
want something that's going to perform well off-road.
A mud-terrain tire is really not going to be the best for you on-road.
They're a little bit loud.
They don't wear all that well.
They're a little bit bumpy.
They're just not the most comfortable on-road ride.
They have an aggressive style and they work great in the mud, but for on-road, an all-terrain
is a better way to go, in my opinion, and they are making some pretty aggressive all-terrain
tires.
Now, the big differences that you'll find in the actual tread pattern from an all-terrain
to a mud-terrain are that an all-terrain is going to have lugs that are slightly smaller
and a little closer together than a mud-terrain tire would.
Now, with the mud-terrain, they're spaced far apart, so if you get a little wheel speed,
you can clean out the tire.
If you get it packed with mud off-road, it becomes a slick.
You get some wheel speed, it self-cleans, you have the bite back.
With an all-terrain tire, you're not going to have that quite as easily because the spaces
are a little bit smaller in between, but that's also what gives it all of its on-road manners
that are things that you really like about an all-terrain tire on the road.
Now, this, just like a mud-terrain tire, is going to have siping all the way through all
of these big lugs.
And what that does is, when you air this tire down off-road, it's going to really flex,
bend, and give you the biggest possible footprint on your terrain, so you're going to have the
best possible traction.
And this also has some tread down onto the sidewall, which is going to give you some
great traction, some great protection, and a little bit more of an aggressive look as
well.
This is something that used to be reserved almost exclusively for mud-terrain tires,
but you're seeing it in a lot of all-terrain tires these days, so that is something that
I really like.
Now, something that you'll find in most mud-terrain tires that you won't find in most all-terrain
tires is a three-ply sidewall.
So, this is a two-ply sidewall.
You're not going to get quite as much strength out of that, as much puncture resistance out
of that as you would with a mud-terrain tire that has a three-ply sidewall, but this, again,
is going to ride more comfortably on the road and you're going to get some really nice wear
out of it.
So, there's definitely a little bit of a give and take there.
As far as a price goes, these are going to be priced right around where a lot of other
all-terrain tires in this category are, so I think it's a pretty fair price for a pretty
good tire.
As for construction, we hit on a lot of the main points.
You're going to have larger lugs that are going to be placed a little bit closer together
on this tire.
You're going to have siping throughout.
You're going to have the tread down onto the sidewall and a two-ply sidewall.
And all of this, again, gives you a tire that works really well when you do take it off-road
here and there.
If you're in the mud a lot, this is not going to perform as well as a mud-terrain, of course,
but on-road, it's going to be quieter, smoother, and it's going to last longer.
As for the installation, of course, you want to take your wheels and tires to a tire shop,
have them mounted and balanced.
We've all seen people that mount up a set of tires in their driveway with some sort
of combustible fluid and a flame.
Don't do that.
You're going to have to have them balanced anyway.
Just take this to a shop.
Have them mounted and balanced for you.
These tires are going to run you anywhere from about $100 to $325, and that's going
to depend on the size of the tire and the wheel that it's designed for.
Of course, the larger the tire, the more rubber, the more expensive it is, but also, the larger
the wheel the tire is designed to go on, the more expensive it's going to be.
So, a 35-inch tire for a 20-inch wheel is going to be a little bit more expensive than
a 35-inch tire for a 15-inch wheel.
But, as I said, overall, I think this is priced fairly for what you're going to get.
So, if you're looking for a quality all-terrain tire, I would recommend this one from Falken,
and you can find it right here at extremeterrain.com.

6 Things You Should Know Before Remodeling Your House | Southern Living - Duration: 1:24.
I think when they're considering, you know,
purchasing a house to remodel,
I think that, you know, look at the outside,
see if there are cracks in the foundation.
And then inside, look at doorways,
are they out of square because the house has settled
in a particular place?
You know, and if it's a pier and beam house,
the fix is typically less expensive
than if it's on a slab.
Like this year's idea house,
and you want to relocate the bathroom or kitchen,
it can be really costly.
A lot of the times when they add space to an existing house
or they remodel it, if it's done poorly,
it's really hard sometimes to correct that.
A contingency's a good idea.
With remodeling there's always unknowns.
You always want to have a contingency in there
of, you know, 5, 10%.
I think some of, if they haven't
gone through the experience before,
they're reluctant to get a designer
or an architect involved.
It's a lot easier to generate ideas on paper
and then assign a budget to it than it is
if they're just ideas that, you know,
you kind of make it up as you go along.
The impact that the HGTV type shows have on us
is that we have clients that come,
and they expect that they're gonna have
their bathroom remodeled in three days,
or have a full remodel done in four months. (chuckles)
Those shows really do give expectations
that aren't realistic, about budget and timing.
There's a great book out there, remodeling book.
Oh, The Emotional Homeowner.
Yeah, I think I would encourage everybody--
It's great.
To read that before you do a project.

BREAKING: They FINALLY Found Her After Committing Massive Crime Spree… LOOK WHERE!!! - Duration: 1:48.
Richmond, VA – In the early morning hours of June 11th, the United States Marshals Fugitive
Task Force in Richmond arrested a woman who is wanted for murder and numerous robberies
in Sonoma County, California.
Amber Hembree, nicknamed 'Skittles', was one of five alledged Crips gang members who
robbed then shot and killed their victim in Santa Rosa, California.
Hembree then fled the state of California to avoid arrest.
After an extensive investigation by the Sonoma County Police Department along with the Pacific
Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force, the agencies developed information that Hembree
was likely hiding out back in Virginia.
A request was sent to the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force in Richmond requesting
help in locating Hembree.
After months of investigation, task force members developed information that Hembree
was likely hiding out at a home in the 12000 block of Chestertowne Road.
At approximately 9:00 a.m. task force members converged on that residence and apprehended
Hembree who was found hiding in the attic.
"The apprehension of this fugitive is a direct result of the perseverance of our investigators
and the interagency cooperation that exists between our fugitive task forces," said
U.S. Marshal Robert Mathieson.
The USMS Regional Fugitive Task Force in Richmond consists of investigators from the U.S. Marshals
Service, Virginia State Police, Virginia Department of Corrections, U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, Chesterfield and Dinwiddee County Sheriff's Office and the Richmond, Chesterfield,
Colonial Heights and Hopewell Police Departments.

Paul Wall Recalls Some Very Real Advice Pimp C Gave Him From Prison | I Talked To Pimp C. - Duration: 3:23.
- PimpC was so unique.
You know, he definitely inspired
a whole generation and generations to come.
Every single time you see somebody like that
it's something where you just you remember it.
You capture it in your memory. You take it all in.
You soak it in and hope that you don't forget it.
I don't think I really remember a time where
I didn't know UGK.
It definitely was the first hip hop I heard
growing up in Texas.
PimpC was a real musical genius.
Not only in that his writing was so real.
The way he delivered his raps and the words he would say,
he was, you know, very country with it.
You know, he would sing on the songs.
In a time where it wasn't cool to really rap and sing
at the same time.
Before he went to jail, I didn't know who he was personally.
Like I was a fan of him, of course,
but I hadn't met him before.
I didn't have a friendship with him at all.
So, when he went to jail, I would write him a lot of letters
just telling him keep his head up.
Tell him how much we all miss him.
Tell him how much he inspired all of us.
You know, just tell him how much we holding it down for him,
we can't wait till he come home and those type of things.
Just, kinda, you know develop a pen pal friendship with him
while he was in jail.
I remember the first time I got a letter back it was like
ah man, this boy wrote me back and I remember thinking
like how can we how can we verify this, validate this, man?
How do I know somebody ain't, you know counterfeiting
writing a letter back to me or something, man.
Faking like they PimpC.
He actually kept it real on a lotta different levels
in the letter.
On the first letter, he told me, you know, watch out
for the females out there. Make sure I wear a rubber.
You know, watch out for the girls trying to might
try to give me a disease or might try to get pregnant by me.
They scandalous, this and that.
Fortunately, for myself at that time, that's you know,
that's me and my girl was already together.
So, I wasn't really doing nothing like that, no way.
So, it's always great to hear that encouragement
from big bro telling me, you know, Shady keep my,
keep stay strapped up.
You know, they ain't like that.
PimpC definitely kept real with me in them letters.
I kept in contact a lot with his mother, Momma West,
and his kids I would just do small things.
Just to ya know, help ease the pain of their father
being locked up or you know, her son being locked up.
It was just a private thing, you know, just something I felt
as a responsibility him being my hero.
One of my heroes and idols, I felt like, you know,
I would want somebody like that if I went to jail.
I would want somebody to do my children the same way.
Their dad's gone and I can only imagine my kids
if I was gone how they would feel.
I would want somebody to show them love.
And I would want them to know that, you know,
their dad inspired me.
I hope they know what he means to the world.
When he got out, we were at the "In love with a Stripper"
video shoot, for the remix.
And I remember, he was like, "Ya man, Paul Wall, you was on
that square shit writing me when I was in jail. On that
square shit writing me, but I got love for you though
cuz you was the only one who was writing me."
But, he kinda was like teasing me about writing him.
But, at the same time, you know, showing me love for it.
He's definitely letting me know that it was
much appreciated and he had a lotta love for me for that.
Being that he came from the generation, you know,
before the Instagram and Twitter generation, a lot of us
don't really know what he did.
I think if PimpC was still here, he'd be getting caked up
right now.
He'd definitely be getting his cake.
What it do, baby.
It's their boy, Paul Wall, baby, ay.
And I talked to PimpC.

Finding Tests & Measures (FMHI) - Duration: 14:41.
finding assessments tests and measures
during the life of any research project the day will come when you may need to
find a test or measure. There are literally tens of thousands of published
and unpublished tests and measures. Published tests are commercially
available for purchase, unpublished tests are not commercially available for
purchase. This is a brief guide to understanding the world of tests and
measures also known as psycho metrics. Psycho metrics is the field of study
concerned with the theory and technique of measurement of traits, abilities,
attitudes and knowledge. It deals with a construction of instruments and
procedures for measurement and the development and refinement of
theoretical approaches to measurement. Psycho metrics is applied widely in
educational and psychological assessment. Two key concepts are reliability and
validity. A reliable measure is measuring something consistently, while a valid
measure is measuring what it is supposed to measure. There are three major
categories of reliability for most instruments: test-retest, equivalent form
and internal consistency. There are also three general categories of instrument
validity: face validity, predictive and concurrent validity, and discriminant and
convergent validity. The standards for educational and psychological testing
established by the American Educational Research Association, the American
Psychological Association, and the National Council on Measurement in
Education provide a comprehensive basis for valuing tests. These terms and
standards are part of the evaluative component which we will talk about
shortly. Your first question may be "how do I find a test for my research project?"
The first place to start any search for tests and measures is at your local
library. Not only does the library own numerous print and online resources that
can help you find tests, there are also librarians who can guide you in your
search through these resources. These reference sources provide comprehensive
and useful information on tests. There are two major types of sources that you
will use to find and evaluate the appropriateness of a test or measure. The
first is a test review which describes and evaluates a specific measure.
These are outside reviews written by an expert in the field databases and books
of test reviews such as tests and print mental measurements yearbook. MMY and
test critiques are good places to start depending upon the specific resource.
There are subject indexes, title indexes, and author indexes available to help you
narrow down your search. The second resource is journal articles written by
researchers who have conducted validation studies on a specific test or
have used the specific test in their own study. These are found in journal
databases such as Pubmed, Psycinfo, Cinahl and Eric. You will need to spend some
time determining what kind of test you need. Is it a personality test? behavior
assessment? educational assessment? Who are you assessing? children? adolescents?
adults a cultural or linguistic group? Is it gender specific? The type of test for
the specific population helps determine where you will start. Who publishes the
test? In addition to listings in tests and print the MMY, tests, test critiques
and other resources, the test collection at ETS and pro ed are two of the many
test publishers. ETS offers a free brochure of major US test publishers
which is yours for the time of a phone call. All major publishers have product
catalogues either online or print that you may request for free or for a small
fee. As an individual purchaser of a test, you may be required to fill out a
purchaser qualification form to ensure that you are qualified and competent to
administer and interpret the test. What is a test review? A test review should
cover the seven areas we just discussed. Minimal information includes the authors
of the test, title, and acronym, purpose and publication date. In addition the
review should describe the population either by years of age or distinguishing
characteristics such as gender. It will also provide information on scoring, how
the test is administered, the length of time to administer, and often publisher
and price information. In the comments, the reviewer offers an interpretation of
the test which addresses at least three issues regarding the instrument. The
reviewer provides a description how it was developed
technical information on how it was validated, and the reviewers summary of
the test. At a minimum the review will include a reference to the original
article describing the test and often refer to other validation studies on the
test. Where can I find test reviews? One of the best known is Burroughs Mental
Measurements Yearbook: The MMY. The Burroughs Institute on mental
measurements at the University of nebraska-lincoln has been supporting
advancements in tests practices since 1938. The MMY is available online and in
print at the USF libraries. MMY divides the world of tests and measures into 18
test categories. In the MMY, tests are alphabetical by title. There are seven
indexes that arrange tests by title, print status (either in or out), acronym,
classified subject, publisher, name (the author and reviewer), and score. These are
useful to locate tests about which you have limited information or to access
groups of tests that fit into the same category such as which tests yield the
same score or which tests all measure depression. If you use the MMY online, it
only covers volumes 9 - the current volume which means you are missing out
on 8 other possible places where your test review may reside. Health and
psychosocial instruments (HAPI) provides access to approximately 15,000 tests and
measures in the fields of Health and psychosocial sciences. The database
started indexing tests in 1985. One very valuable feature of HAPI is that you
can limit your search to primary and secondary sources. A primary source is
the original article where the test originally was published or a resource
that contains the full-text of the test. Secondary sources do not include the
entire test. The database includes articles that describe how the test was
used, outcomes and possible sample questions. The database also allows you
to search for translations of a particular test.
The test collection of ETS is a database of more than 25,000 tests and other
measurement devices. There are basic and advanced search options, and you can
select for downloadable tests. After the fee is paid, each record includes author,
title, and acronym, first article published, major and minor descriptors,
abstract, and the security level of the test. That is whether it may be purchased.
The descriptors are based on the thesaurus of Eric descriptors, a
controlled vocabulary which is a carefully selected list of Education
related words and phrases. Since searching by keywords requires
matching the exact words found in a record, searching by descriptors allows
you to locate records indexed by subject regardless of the terminology the author
may have used. The thesaurus is available online with the USF library's databases.
Choose educational resources Information Center, that is Eric, as well as a free
internet resources. The next sources are print resources. Tests and test critiques
published by pro ed tests is a bibliographic encyclopedia containing
information on thousands of testing instruments in psychology, education and
business. It contains concise descriptions of tests, however it does
not contain evaluative critiques or data unreliability, validity, or norms. If you
have the name of the test you can find evaluative criteria and test critiques
in each of the three sections, that is psychology, education, and business. The
tests are arranged alphabetically. Tests also has seven indexes: The test title
index, author index, foreign language availability index, a publisher
distributor index, and three indexes of test suitability for special populations:
the hearing impaired, visually impaired, and physically impaired. Tests also lists
out-of-print tests and has a publishers directory. Test critiques is a companion
to tests and contains psychometric information, that is reliability, validity,
and norm development. Each test entry
includes an introduction, practical applications and uses, and technical
aspects followed by a critique. The introduction describes the test in
detail including authors, publisher, and the purpose of the test. Practical
applications and uses describes the intended population, administration,
scoring, and interpretation procedures. Technical aspects include citations from
reliability and validity studies and opinions from experts regarding the
technical adequacy of the test. Each volume contains a table of contents with
tests listed alphabetically. Each volume also contains cumulative indexes
organized by test title, tests publisher, tests author and reviewer, and subject.
There are numerous standalone books that also carry test and measurement
information.Find them in the USF library's catalog. Secondary sources such
as journal databases are also a good place to search. We recommend Psycinfo,
PubMed, Cinahl, and ERIC. Here are quick tips to ensure you pull up studies
addressing the psychometric quality of a test. Limit searches in Psycinfo using
the classification codes. Psycinfo has a predetermined limit option entitled
"tests and testing" which is 2220 in the classification codes in Pubmed. Use your
subject term and combine it with questionnaires and psycho metrics or
reproducibility of results or validation studies. Search Cinahl: the cumulative
index to nursing and allied health two ways. Select the field instrumentation
from the drop down box and search either by topic or name of tests. Also search by
topic and limit publication type to research instrument or questionnaire /
scale. To search in ERIC, select tests from the publication type limits and add
a keyword or subject. Now you have test reviews and articles on how the test was
used in studies similar to your own proposed research project. Next is the
hard part: evaluating the test. Well, how do I assess
journal articles about my test or measure? In addition to rereading test
reviews you will also be reading articles written to assess the validity
and reliability of tests as well as articles or other studies that used a
test in which you are interested. The standards mentioned earlier provide a
comprehensive basis for evaluating tests. Here are the seven areas that should be
part of any evaluation of a test or measure: Test coverage and usage. That
includes intended uses of the test scores, appropriate score interpretations,
limitations or restrictions of the interpretations, test population and
content coverage decisions, development of the item, and selection criteria. Two:
appropriate sample for test validity evidence. This includes considerations of
sampling method, size of sample and subgroups, basis for validity and for
norming, sufficient variation to distinguish participants. For example,
those with and without symptoms, and representativeness of the sample: For
example, age, geographic distribution, cultural background, and disabilities.
Three: validity. This refers to content-related evidence, exploratory or
confirmatory factor analysis, evaluation of test content and test specifics, test
item creation. It also includes relationship to other tests: Criterion
measures, score distributions, predictive accuracy, and differential prediction. And
then other forms of validity evidence for example, experimental studies using
the measure, use of a multi trait multi-method matrix, construct similarity
between different tests. Four: Reliability. That means computation of reliability
estimates and the appropriateness of statistical methods. Test-retest time
intervals, and reliability estimates provided for
all scores where interpretations are indicated. Five: Test administration. For
example, is the administration information clearly understood and are
qualification spelled out? Also the replication of test administration, that
is the same conditions under which the test was validated and normed. Six: Test
reporting. That is, how are test results reported and the appropriateness of
scales for reporting results. also other resources and materials for use in
interpretation. Seven: Tests and item bias. This area looks to minimal cultural
dependency: the explicit statement of in appropriateness of tests for specific
groups and differential validity across groups in analytical review. And lastly
language proficiency of native and non-native speakers of the majority
language. Now that that's all clear you're ready to start researching for a
test or measure for your research project. Find some possible measures,
evaluate them, and choose the perfect test. We hope this has been a good guide
to navigating the new world of tests and measures. For more tips on how to search
