As you will know if you are an avid reader of my blog, I can drive and have been able to for a few years. But, the other day I bumped into an old school friend who mentioned that she had yet to pass her theory test and was really struggling with it.
Some people just breeze through their theory tests, but for the rest of us, that just isn't the case. And with the high price of doing your theory test and the frustration of not being able to pass it, having to sit it more than once can be a little upsetting.
I know that theory tests can be tricky, especially if you are really nervous. That's why I thought I would share some helpful tips for how to pass your theory test the first time around.
1. Book your test
The first step in preparing properly for your driving theory test is to book your test at www.booktheorytesttoday.com. Before choosing a date, consider how long you will need to prepare for it – don't rush yourself, choose a date that you are comfortable with.
Once you have chosen the date for your test, the next step is to pick a time. While you might be tempted to book it for early in the morning to get it out the way, it is important to take rush hour traffic into account.
While you might want to get your test out of the way, you don't want to end up missing it because of crazy rush hour traffic. It's probably best to pick a slightly later time, like 10 or 11am so that you can avoid the mad morning traffic.
2. Do lots of revision
Don't leave your theory test revision until the last minute, as this will only leave you feeling panicked and stressed out. From the date, you book your theory test, to the day of the test itself, spend half an hour to an hour a day, brushing up on your driving theory.
Ask a friend or family member to help you with your theory test revision. Ask them to test you on road signs, stopping distance and the highway code.
3. Practice on the go
An excellent way to incorporate theory revision into your everyday life is by testing yourself whenever you see a road sign. Ask yourself what the sign means, and then check the answer in your theory practice book.
Another way to practice for your theory test while on the go is with the numerous driving theory test apps. There are all sorts of theory test apps available, from road sign quizzes to hazard perception mocks – these are a great way to brush up on your revision.
4. Take a mock test
A week before your theory test, start using the internet and smartphone apps to take mock tests. These will give you an idea of how much knowledge you have and how likely you are to pass the actual test.
Plus, by doing mock tests, you can work out the areas that you need to do more revision of, before your test day.
5. Stay calm
On the day of your theory test, it is important to stay calm. If you have put in the time and done your revision, then you have nothing to worry about.
Once you arrive at the test centre, take your time to read through the instructions and get to know how the equipment works.
Stay calm, focus and take your time with your test, and you should be just fine. Good luck!

absolutely thank you so much I flesh out about Matejka but Frankel the right that might lead to convict ... the industry that healthy eater is in the driver's seat these days and big name programs are scrambling to appeal to this consumer by buying up and throwing the smaller brands with organic and natural image is here with the story is doubly SJ food reporter Sarah Nassauer zapping the much for being with us and ... bringing all these goodies it with you you ... some examples of some of the smaller companies are being abused or the like it Annie's was bought by General Miles Last aircraft cost is owned by Kalanick's ... plum organics is owned by Campbell's system honest says honesty is on diet ... coke their ... own ... big companies are really buying into this card industry is that because they've seen their sales for their ... means to unpack yes the old standby as you know the soup so the cereal but said he ... did say not nice stories ... sales are flat sometimes falling depending on the corner and ... those I think that's the bulk of sales that's what they depended on for a long time and so this is a change that for the natural market is growing but it's ... tricky right because it's a tricky consumer it's one thing though for different consumer that when ... consuming than the spot where they have dismissed rattled its ok we wanna grow these brands make them they may have been so they can replace some of the meantime I'm sales of these other things a good sign ... that the consumer is different and they don't like it when you know it is official ingredients he put too much sugar or in any really wanna be in a preventive health news he has to tread more carefully next month ... cautionary tale ... that cost a process interesting because they lost about ... two hundred million in sales over the last five years and they were doing of ... causes on them for over a decade in the work of his success story ... and that's in part because ... they ... have Gitmo ingredients even have enough organic varieties and on social media need it's awesome you get people to the point that out a few years ago ... not that of reversing ... course in all the girly products are going to be non gym outside effect because this healthy eater is very picky and they read all the ingredients that could be an ethical and if there's a new a health report about an ingredient Econa change their mind ... that's a hard thing to file ... so it's only for instance plum organics I remember when my ... children were very and I bought all their stuff ... this is way before they were can you can dance on and so is this now Campbell's efforts to make plum organics the mainstream ... to some extent supply isn't just in the maintenance of this is how far in a note that the CEO's still ... and concerns ... and that we talk about this in the story that they look that Campbell's research on WhatsApp's Ello kid scans and a lot of research and soon as you can imagine ... and I'm a can of tree taken it upon product and spinach and kale ... and had turkey meatballs for more protein with lower fat ... and its organic so that this is their way of saying ok this is a mainstream convenience today ... but you know it's going away and what's also important to the consumer though is taste ... and costs and cost cost a tricky one because organic ... and ... even some of these other ingredients are ... Tracy ... so in a year you ... see that some these products and smaller portions so that the price can go down or ... you know that they're very aware that in making sure that ... an economically speaking what they're thinking of wearing a violent week in the final as create something like Kroger is store brands on budget cuts over ... the deaths of two year old branded ... as of over billion dollars in sales already in a lot of that is organic ... and natural store brand to lower priced line it's things like peanut butter tend to staples so that it's it's a tricky to name her son is companies that will work so I get I am a consumer I'd you know I'd buy its the public in them at the gym ... that I am I get by the ante for my kidneys to buy at the plumber for my kids and they were in and felt ... I guess I'd buy this again I took a little bit more for it if the ingredients are out of ... the year that nearly put me the the the place that is the budget that Thanksgiving ... is a quick break we'll be right back ... welcome to cheesy lunch break I'm tiny Rivera out ... the NFL is really has a promising young when he announces his retirement after only one year in the league sentences go forty Niners linebacker Chris Borland ... is retiring at age twenty four ... citing concerns over head trauma ... the NFL has released a statement saying in part ... we respect Chris Portland's decision and wish him all the best by any measure football has never been safer ... and we continue to make progress with rule changes safer tapping technique and better equipment protocols and medical care for players ... concussions in NFL games were down twenty five percent last year ... continuing a three year downward trend ... here with a look at what this means for the NFL is veteran Wall Street Journal Sports Columnist Jason Gay Jason thanks so much for being here thanks for having me what's your first reaction upon hearing this means not terribly surprised not service preserving things have been having in this direction for some time ... to suit a exception was when he NFL said that statement twenty five percent ... down in tears a concussions in the last three years ... there's a lot of belief among NFL players Uber close to the game that concussions outraged that reported rate is down because players now know that the forces sent ... it to have a concussion ... if they fail the test so they're disinclined from actually getting treatment for these kinds of things ... not IPA candies that lower number the game if you watch the game it doesn't seem terribly different often what ... people remember writes and ... even as and I were discussing earlier necessarily that can cost ones that are always the issue with the low grain ... head trauma right now right so you know what people are stupid that they given it a concussion is a page head to head collision typically in a receiver took on a backpack kind of a colossal impact that knocks a guy out by the sea in a boxing that's right ... that obviously has some sort of concerns and damage but there's also a real concern about the kind of repeated helmet to helmet closes that happen at the line you should use that line Discover's contact you're always saying ... there been a lot of indications ... from the long-term stays of people who play those trends is the NFL that those of the guys are really filling impacts now ... Mr Borderlands decision affect other young players in their twenty s I think you see a couple of things having people are in the game right now I NFL players must look at this and cause a low but I'm sure they're great many rooms there they look that's non stop for me it's an opportunity for me another guy to come in but I think it also has an impact in terms of people who are watching the game urged parents people who are younger players in the system you Vardy seen declines in pop Warner football the for the first youth development told the ...

Exile Di Brave – Aims High!!
Saturday, September 19, 2009
This young upcoming Dj straight out of Portmore, Jamaica HAS RECENTLY Completed Studies at the University Of Technology in Jamaica garnering a degree in Engineering which limits the time he has, therefore hindering and limiting his musical works, but Exile Di Brave doesn't mind, he works hard and truly believes in getting a solid education first. With his two childhood peers Gerron Thomas (KONIAK) and Mario Grey (KRITIK) they form a rap trio called N.H.C which means Narrating Hostile Conditions. They dropped a mix tape in 2003 which explains all the things that their surroundings had to offer, telling both the bright and the dark side of music, and society. Gaining good responses from songs such as "poor cold "and "lonely", "you don't want beef", and "Hungry girls".
Known to friends as Nago, whose government name is Clayton Johnson, is a 26 yrs old musical artist born and raised in Naggo's Head, Portmore has his own mark to make in this music biz. The former Camperdown High School student just won't stop working on his musical craft. After leaving high school in 1999, he started exploring his talent and started to rap as the hip hop genre took a big step in the Jamaican culture. Since then, their talent has grown into different styles and techniques. Exile Di Brave has begun to appreciate Jamaica's own reggae dancehall music, which was the first music he had come to know. Bringing across sharp lyrics and melodies from hip hop, and transforming them to Jamaican Creole (patios), he is now a reggae dancehall artist on the underground scene and planning to see the top with songs such as solid, strange, very hot, like or as, and story telling to match any situation, he writes songs for whatever stages life can take one through.
The Need to Succeed
For Exile Di Brave, music gives him a fighting power so strong that his determination has heightened, with the help of new found Management – Dell Productions based in Birmingham, England and U.S.A. Due to this Partnership his hot new single and video "15 Mins of Fame" – produced by Excellent G and video directed by new comers Big Bomb Films has drawn much attention. Such is the popularity of the single that it has had numerous views and comment on Face book, MySpace, Tagged and getting excellent rotation and feedback in the U k.
Exile Di Brave sees his career, as moving in the right direction, with the heavy promotion of his other singles, such as: "Never Know Love", produced by Young Veterans, "Nah Quit" and "Climax" both by Prolific Entertainment.
With the help and much guidance of his management team, Exile Di Brave hopes to achieve the success, for which has been working assiduously for. With the entire buzz currently he and his management team are finalizing, a much anticipated, Bahamian, event in September, among others. Exile Di Brave can be contacted on his my space at myspace.com/exiledibrave or on his website http://www.exilethebrave.com/ . Exile Di Brave aspires that for the years to come the music industry and the world will see more from this raw talent yet developing talent, a diamond in the dust, and a future force to be reckoned with.

2007 Delaware States
KEITH STUDNICK and VLATKO NAJDEK
With numerous President Cup points on the line, sixteen of the top Teams from both the Northern and Southern sections of Region III traveled to the Wilmington area to compete in the Delaware States hosted by none other than Steve Nycum at the remarkable Greenville Country Club, in Wilmington, Delaware. This was the first of six Region III PCQ men's tournaments that will be held this season.
The day began with a startling upset as the newly formed team of Bruce Sopko and Drew Friel took down the perennial President's Cup team of Andrew Hocker and Steve Reineger. After losing the tie-breaker in the first set, they went on to win the next two sets 6-0 and 6-4. Sopko and Friel did not end their day there as they knocked off the red hot team of Simon Pepiatt and Greg Eger in the fifth place play-off 6-2, 7-5. Great playing boys!
The match of the day pitted two of Philly's finest teams of Vlatko Najdek and Andrew Sorentino coming back from four match points down in the second set tie breaker to defeat the team of Bruce Redpath and Larry Hyde in a three set thriller. The final score was 6-7, 7-6, and 6-2. Najdek and Sorrentino defeated the #2 seeded team of Scott Freund and Fred Gumbinner in their semi finals match 6-4, 6-1.
The other semi- finals pitted the #1 seeds Todd Marvin and Scott Falatek against the always dangerous fourth seeded team of Jeff Lyon and Ted Easter. Team Falatek and Marvin displayed on the court all the reasons for their number one seed by making a great comeback after losing the first set to set up a revenge match from last season.
For the spectators that remained to watch the finals, team Falatek and Marvin took the Championship 4 & 1 over Najdek and Sorrentino in rather decisive fashion.
Special thanks to Steve Nycum for hosting the event as all of the players had a great time hanging at Greenville Country Club, one of the premier paddle facilities you will find anywhere.

If you've ever noticed that your mood seems to dampen during the fall and winter months, you may be experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder, otherwise known as SAD. In fact, many people live with a mild form of SAD and don't even know it.
A form of clinical depression, SAD symptoms include:
Lack of interest in normal activities
Social withdrawal
Carbohydrate cravings
Weight gain
Unlike other mood disorders, SAD symptoms are associated with seasonal changes in light, often occurring only during the autumn and winter months, with the most difficult months being January and February. Outside of the winter months, SAD can be triggered by long stretches of cloudy weather or working year-round in a dark environment without natural sunlight.
Symptoms may vary in intensity. Any of these symptoms, alone or in tandem with one another, can have a serious effect on your quality of life.
With the right course of treatment, SAD can be a manageable condition. If you think you may be experiencing SAD or any other mood disorder, discuss your symptoms with your Naturopathic Doctor to create an individualized plan for mood stabilization and enhancement.
Ask your doctor about these four ways you can prevent and manage SAD.
1. Get as much sun as possible. Bundle up and take a walk, sit near a window at work, or participate in outdoor winter sports. However you choose to do it, exposing yourself to sunlight can help curb the symptoms of SAD.
2. Give phototherapy a try. Otherwise known as light therapy, phototherapy often uses a special fluorescent lamp to trick the brain into thinking the day is longer, and it has proven to be an effective treatment option for many. Just 30 to 90 minutes of daily exposure may have profound effects on your mood.
3. Increase your vitamin D intake. Although there is still insufficient evidence to conclude that vitamin D deficiency causes depression, cross-sectional studies have identified associations between depression and low vitamin D levels. Discuss intake of vitamin D supplements with your Naturopathic Doctor.
4. Supplement with a healthy lifestyle. Additional ways to manage SAD include herbal remedies, homeopathy and other types of supplements. However, eating right, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly are still the best ways to improve and maintain your psychological health year-round.

Ancient Romans referred to them as "food for the gods." Ancient Egyptians thought they could grant immortality. While those claims may be a stretch, crimini mushrooms (the common button type) are packed with unique phytonutrients that have been shown to contribute to boosting immune function, regulating inflammation, preventing arthritis, and protecting against cardiovascular problems. Not bad for a fungus.
If that weren't enough, new evidence suggests that crimini mushrooms can provide a boost of vitamins D1 and D2, which are instrumental in maintaining a healthy immune system. In fact, crimini mushrooms have proven to be more beneficial to the immune system than their more exotic mushroom counterparts.
Crimini mushrooms also provide an excellent source of selenium, zinc, and manganese critical antioxidant nutrients and vitamins B1, B2, B3 (niacin), B5, B6, and B12, which contribute to better cardiovascular health.
1. Buy organic. Due to modern agricultural practices, it is important to purchase or cultivate organic mushrooms in order to lessen your risk of ingesting contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, and other unwanted substances.
2. Store them properly. How you store your mushrooms is vital to preserving their nutrient content, especially where vitamin D is concerned. To prevent discoloration and hardening, wrap mushrooms in a damp cloth and place them in a loosely closed paper bag, or spread them out in a glass dish and cover them with a moist cloth. Store them in the refrigerator at about 38F (3C). Whichever storage method you use, you'll want to try to restrict surface-to-surface contact among the mushrooms in order to keep them fresh longer. If you need to stack them, be sure to separate each layer with a damp paper towel.
3. Saute and enjoy. The mushrooms should be wiped clean, sliced, and sauteed lightly, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, in order to ensure a golden-brown exterior and moist, succulent interior. Take care not to overcook mushrooms as this will make their nutrient count plummet.

With crimini mushrooms and tawny port, this barley-mushroom soup is chock-full of flavor, nutrients, and fun! Prep time: 20 min. Cook time: 55 min.
1/2 cup pearl barley
1 medium onion, chopped fine
3 medium cloves garlic, chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced in 1/4 inch cubes
2 and 1/2 cups crimini mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup tawny port
1 tablespoon + 6 cups organic vegetable broth
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh sage (or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Rinse and soak barley in 1 cup of warm water while preparing the rest of the ingredients. Heat 1 tbsp of broth in a medium soup pot. Saute onion, garlic, and carrots in broth for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms and continue to saute for another 3 minutes. Add drained barley and tawny port; cook for about 2 minutes. Add rest of broth and bring soup to a boil on high heat. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 40 minutes, or until barley and carrots are tender. Add herbs, salt, and pepper at the end of cooking and serve.
Vitamin D, also known as the "sunshine vitamin" is actually a hormone and an essential part of the human body. Throughout evolution, sunlight has produced vitamin D in the skin, but the advent of the electric light and sunblock, as well as a common fear of skin cancer, seem to have led to a mass vitamin D deficiency. In fact, the recommended daily intake (RDI) for vitamin D recently tripled, going from a recommended 200 IU (5 mcg) for adults up to 50 years of age to 600 IU (15 mcg) for those 1 to 70 years of age, based mainly upon bone health research.
A vitamin D deficiency can cause osteopenia, osteoporosis, increased risk of fracture, sunken pelvic area (due to rickets) and trouble getting pregnant and delivering a baby naturally.
Of the six forms of vitamin D, vitamins D2 and D3 have been identified as the most important for human nutrition. Vitamin D2 predominantly comes from the sun and fungi, such as mushrooms. Vitamin D3 can be produced in the body from the absorption and conversion of the sun's UVB rays or from animal sources.
Because vitamin D affects the entire body, it is vital to maintain your body's vitamin D levels. If you're looking for a vitamin D boost, try eating fatty fish, mushrooms, liver, egg yolks, milk, and yogurt. Better yet, get plenty of direct sun exposure. If you are concerned that your vitamin D levels are not up to par, talk to your Naturopathic Doctor about an assessment and individualized plan.

TARRAGON (Artemisia dracunculus)
An aromatic herb with roots in traditional French cooking, tarragon also boasts excellent health and therapeutic benefits.
– Tarragon is high in vitamins, including the vitamin A precursor beta-carotene, as well as potassium and other nutrients.
– Its antioxidant properties help neutralize the effect of free radicals in the body.
– Tarragon supports cardiovascular health and maintains the health of the female reproductive tract.
– High levels of eugenol make it an effective pain reliever, historically used to take the edge off of toothaches.
– Some studies suggest that tarragon may help to increase appetite, which could be useful for those who have poor appetites due to age or illness.
– It's an excellent digestive aid, traditionally used to improve natural digestion and eliminate intestinal worms, as well as relieve common digestive problems such as upset stomach, irritable bowels, and dyspepsia.
– As a mild sedative, tarragon may help to relieve anxiety and stress, and work as a sleep aid.
To add a little extra health boost to your meals, try tarragon with vegetables such as artichokes, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes, and salads; with meats such as chicken, rabbit, fish, shellfish, and lobster; or best of all in sauces such as Bearnaise sauce.
Even though tarragon is generally safe for regular use as a culinary herb, the appropriate therapeutic dosage will vary based upon age, overall health, and medical conditions. People with a liver condition should only use tarragon at therapeutic levels under the supervision of a doctor. When considering using tarragon, it is best to consult with your Naturopathic Doctor to discuss if tarragon is right for you.

Phototherapy, or light therapy, has shown promise in treating eczema, reducing itching skin, guarding against inflammation, increasing bacterial defenses in the skin, and increasing vitamin D production. It's also a unique therapy for treating Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Phototherapy provides the body with the additional light it needs to stimulate the brain activity that controls circadian rhythms. Research suggests that the benefits may be heightened by undergoing light treatment as soon after waking up as possible. The therapy, which can be done in a clinical setting or at home using a special light box, may actually be as beneficial or more so than antidepressants. Symptoms typically improve within two weeks to two months of steady treatment.
Phototherapy uses a light box to emit specific wavelengths of light, imitating sunlight, but avoiding exposure to harmful UVA rays. Generally, phototherapy light boxes provide 10,000 lux ("lux" is a measure of light intensity), which is roughly 100 times brighter than typical indoor lighting, but not as bright as a sunny day, which can clock in at 50,000 lux or more. Recent advances in light therapy include using light boxes that simulate sunrise, gradually increasing in intensity from darkness up to 300 lux. Another new therapy uses lower-intensity blue light, which has a more powerful effect on the retina than white light, tricking the brain into thinking it's brighter than it is.
However, phototherapy is not without risks. It can cause burns, increase signs of aging, and increase the risk of skin cancers if used regularly over long periods of time, or if administered using subpar equipment.
Before investing time and money on phototherapy, discuss your concerns and needs with your Naturopathic Doctor. He or she will be able to make a diagnosis and prescribe an individualized treatment plan for brightening your winter. Because the FDA does not regulate light boxes, be sure to discuss your equipment options with your Naturopathic Doctor, or phototherapy professional, before purchasing a light box.

My Christmas stuff is down already. It has been since last week.
Proud? I am.
Anyway, my house always looks nekkid after all the trees are gone. So it's time for me to start sprucing things up!
BUT...I have to do it with out any money. I spent all our money last month on Christmas presents. So I have to use what I have.
Wrapping paper!
I have lots of wrapping paper!
I have lots of wrapping paper!
And after is a little bit snazzier:
I think Hobby Lobby has the best wrapping paper. It's nice and thick. It makes great shelf paper too.
The leopard paper is going to make an appearance in a few other places in my house too. Stay tuned for that. I know you can hardly wait! Right?

2008 - the year of the disaster
An international insurance company, Munich Re, has said that 2008 has been one of the worst years for natural disasters. A string of floods, tsunami, earthquakes and hurricanes has led to £137bn in financial losses and more than 220,000 deaths. It is thought that climate change has led to an exacerbation of certain hazards, particularly flooding and weather-related events such as hurricanes. The worst single events of the year have been the Chinese earthquake that left 70,000 dead and the Burmese cyclone Nargis that killed 130,000.

Jurassic Coast Landslide
On 6th May 2008, 95m high cliffs along a 400m wide section of World Heritage Coast between Lyme Regis and Charmouth collapsed. This stretch of coast is no stranger to landsliding and comprises a similar range of weak shales and marls as much of the Isle of Wight, also subject to frequent landslide activity. Long term inundation from prolonged summer and winter rainfall produces high pore water pressures that contribute to instability and such events can be expected to become more frequent with more the extreme weather associated with climate change. Video footage of the slide can be seen at the BBC web site http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7388564.stm and a Google Earth image of the coast affected is available at http://tinyurl.com/69hn2b.

Snakes Pass Landslide
The A57 Snakes Pass road (the main link between Manchester and Sheffield) has been closed for two weeks due to a landslide (image from Prof. Brian Whalley). The landslide occurred following heavy rain, a sequence of events not unusual in this locality (e.g. http://tinyurl.com/23gmww). The steep hillslopes in this region of the 'Dark Peak' are particularly vulnerable to mass movement being underlain by thin sandstones interbedded with weak, easily weathered shales. Other notable landslides in the immediate vicinity include Alport Castles (see http://tinyurl.com/2snvl2) and Mam Tor (see http://tinyurl.com/38fkq2) - (image from DTN).

Metal Roof Pipe Flashing Detail – Let's face it, you will need a new roof. You've set it off for a long time, minding, replacing a few shingles there but it still escapes. " Only when it rains," you say, ha, it is not going to stop working so let's talk about your alternatives. Thousands of homes are re-roofed annually with ordinary asphalt shingles. Traditional roofing manufacturers and installation contractors enjoy it when clients utilize the business standard again and again. Why? Okay", you say, " I just want to do this thing once and I want it to continue". With that in mind let's talk about the benefits of alloy style roofing.
Metal roofs are far superior to traditional roofing in lots of ways. Perhaps one of the most important is steel roofs do not need to be replaced almost as often. The simple fact is the new metal or steel roof might be the last roof which you purchase for your home. The life expectancy of metal or steel roofs can far exceed fifty decades. How old are you really going to be in fifty decades? Your painted steel roof won't show its age. Another unexpected element of metal roofing is how much it weighs. Metal style roofing weighs much less than many traditional roofing products.

So much less, in fact, it's possible to easily install a new metal roof over your previous asphalt shingles. This saves you the time-consuming and costly job of ripping off your old roofing. In addition, it saves space on the local landfill. Metal roofs consider from 50-150 pounds per 100 square feet. Traditional roofing material can weigh in the neighborhood of 750 pounds per square foot. Unexpected but true, metal roofs consider much less. So let's say you live in a rural forested area, you've got a very dry year, forest fires start burning in the throat of the woods, and many of your neighbors are panicking.

Metal roofs are not combustible, that is why they are ranked " Class A". Using metal as roofing gives you one of the most fire resistant roofs that your money can buy. Peace of mind during wildfire season can mean a lot too. " Class A fire standing", another plus for metal roofing. Using metal as your roofing choice can help save you money in a different manner, your utility bills. Cool metal roofing is a term that popped up a number of years back. Someone got smart and figured out that lighter colored metal style roofing actually reflects direct sunlight and causes less heat to enter your home.
Well, since then, many studies have been done and metal roofing has been awarded" IR" tests. "IR" stands for "Initial Solar Reflectivity". Guess what? The lighter colored metal roofing has got the best rating. What it all boils down to is, metal roofing can help save you money on your utility bills, conserve energy and help you protect your own surroundings. Metal roofs can also be eligible for tax credits, so the government will actually pay you to your new roof.

I am a city-raised woman, so a lot of my friends were surprised when I told them I was going to live in an organic farm in the Azores. Their thought was probably something like "Natacha, really?". Yep, really.
Our organic farm – Quintal do Dragão (Dragon´s Backyard) – is certified and despite not being very big (it has 4000 m2) you can´t imagine the variety of vegetables, legumes, herbs, fruits and edible flowers that you can find here. Lucky me to have this garden just outside my door!
What about my tasks on the farm? I help my boyfriend Hugo whenever I can, but it is mainly harvesting what nature has to offer (and eating, of course). When I have some free time I also like to sow, plant and weed. Actually these activities can be very relaxing as my brain simply "turns off". It is just nature and me.
Living on the farm is a continuous learning process, full of new experiences. It is so amazing to watch a plant grow: once a seed (and they can be so different), then a plant and many years later a tree. It is so beautiful to see the cultures changing throughout the year (e.g.: summer brings us strawberries and raspberries and winter custard apples and guavas) and then eating accordingly. It is so inspiring to look at the busy bees, dancing from flower to flower, collecting the nectar for the soon-to-be honey.
I simply love being here.
Vegetables & Legumes
Variety is king in the farm, but everything in small quantities. Here you can find from artichokes to fava beans, from kohlrabi to parsnips, from arugula to peas.
We have a large variety of medicinal and aromatic herbs, not only because we deeply believe in their healing power, but they also give the right kick to any dish.
We simply love fruits. They can be small like strawberries or big like watermelons, a bit bitter like raspberries or sweet like custard apples. It doesn´t matter!
Edible Flowers
When you add a flower to a dish it makes a difference, no doubt about this. Besides the aesthetics, edible flowers have also health benefits. Just give it a try!

An exploration of psychological factors on emoticon usage and implications for judgement accuracy
Publication Date
Publication Details
Wall, H. J, Kaye, L. K & Malone, SA. (2016). An exploration of psychological factors on emoticon usage and implications for judgement accuracy. Computers in Human Behavior,62 70-78. United Kingdom: Elsevier Ltd.. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2016.03.040
Given the increasing use of online platforms, the current research comprised two studies examining links between personality and emoticon use: Study 1 explored the psychological factors associated with emoticon usage on different online platforms (N = 92), and Study 2 assessed the accuracy of a group of observers' personality judgements of Facebook users (N = 54). Participants in Study 1 comprised previously unacquainted dyads who each completed measures on their Big-5 personality, self-esteem, social anxiety, self-presentation, and self-reported usage of emoticons on email, text messages and Facebook. Participants provided Facebook data and interacted online with each other for 10-min. Trait analysis revealed that agreeableness was positively related to self-reported emoticon usage on Facebook, but not in texts or emails. In Study 2, observers viewed the Facebook stimuli and made personality assessments of the dyad members. Judgement accuracy was determined by correlating these assessments with targets' own self-reported personality. Analyses revealed the highest level of accuracy for extraversion and openness. Finally, positive correlations were found between objective usage of "happy" emoticons and observers' assessments of targets' agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness. Taken together, findings indicate the importance of specific online behaviours in self-presentation, and their impact on judgement accuracy.

Ziggurat Review
Price: $0.99
Version Reviewed: 1.0
Device Reviewed On: iPad 2, iPod touch 4
Graphics / Sound Rating:
Game Controls Rating:
Gameplay Rating:
Replay Value Rating:
Overall Rating:
This game intrigues me. Some games love their graphical user interfaces, but Ziggurat provides none. Theres no score given until the end of the game. The goal is to ward off the incoming hordes of killer aliens with a plasma ball cannon. The story is that the player is the last human on Earth, trying to take down as many of the aliens as they can before they just get overwhelmed.
This minimalism gives Ziggurat a different feel; it's all about survival in the moment, and focusing on that, not a score number. The game uses a great combination of a fixed progression with random positioning of enemy waves. The music unravels and reveals over time; it becomes a reward for playing well. The whole game feels somewhat Super Crate Box-esque in its execution, with its goal to maintain control of the playing field for as long as possible. There's a lot going on with the subtleties of the game's mechanics that may not be apparent at first, like the way that the enemies' heads pulsate. The bigger the enemy head is when killed, the larger the resulting explosion, which in turn takes out bullets and other enemies. There are a variety of unique Game Center leaderboards for time played, specific enemies killed, and even the number of tweets sharing high scores. Never has spamming my friends been so rewarding.
Playing Ziggurat can be kind of like trying to fall asleep at night--finding the most comfortable position can be a challenge. The controls are not broken at all; everything operates on fixed angles at 1:1 ratios, so tapping on the screen in one spot will always aim at that angle. Playing with one index finger can be effective but uncomfortable, flying across the bottom of the screen. Multiple fingers can provide more comfort, but demand more in the way of coordination. While an offset control scheme for the iPad was considered, according to Action Button's Tim Rogers, this led to iPad scores being much higher. The all-time high score on a private build belonged to an indie developer who scored 2700 by using 8 fingers keyboard-style on an iPad laying flat on a table.
Ziggurat is a game I have a lot of mixed feelings about. The music, art, and depth of gameplay are all fantastic, but I just never got all that comfortable with it. I will keep playing it, because I want to see more of it. The developer claims 9 hours of content – but no one will plausibly ever see anything beyond the first ten minutes. However, I just may forever never be completely satisfied with it.

Dale Rassett is a unique kind of trucker, crisscrossing the Southern U.S. with his mobile wine bottling operation in tow. Hoist up the back trailer door, load the empty wine bottles onto the conveyor belt, and in a minute or two they'll come back out filled with wine, corked, labeled and ready to sell.
This goes way beyond the episode of Trick My Truck where they installed a fridge under the driver's seat.

Rassett somehow maneuvers his trailer around Lakewood's narrow streets to Times Ten Cellars a few times a year, stopping for a few days at a time. Last Tuesday was one such day, when the winery's sales crew and wine experts showed up in their rattiest work T-shirts and pumped the latest batch of sangiovese into bottles.
It's a fascinating mechanical operation -- a far cry, says co-owner Chris Lawler, from the manual labor of bottling in the winery's early days. After the jump, check out our video the mobile bottling trailer. (We've also got a slideshow of photos from the bottling trailer.)

Looks like a great day out. Only been to Tenerife once - on a day trip from a cruise ship as a teenager. All I remember is a long coach ride up a volcano.ReplyDeleteReplies
Did you keep your eyes shut so you couldn't see over the steep drops?Delete

Thanks, Liz. I feel as though I've just had a mini holiday!ReplyDelete
(You don't want to fall into those cacti - I once had to have a spike pulled out from a very delicate place!)
No - I steer very clear of cacti - this one was a couple of feet away. Author's licence :)Delete
Looks a great place to visit - though I'm not so keen on having my fall broken by a cacti.ReplyDeleteReplies
It was a lovely day.Delete
Fabulous photos but there's one sentence there that made me stop and gasp. "The barranco behind me was equally steep, although if I'd slipped, the cactus would possibly have broken my fall." Ouch!!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Heehee! Gotcha! I was a good two feet from the edge and definitely not intending to fall - honest!Delete
So I'll make sure I pack my walking boots - and cactusproof trousers - when I visit. It looks a fascinating place.ReplyDelete
Looks like you had a lovely day. Never been to Tenerife but went to Gran Canaria many moons ago and hired a car to go exploring in. Those roads! Terrifying with the drops and when we met a coach hurtling around a corner, I thought we were done for! I had been gripping the door handle so tightly that boyfriend (now hubs) had to actually 'unpeel' me from it as it had cramped into position! Glad you didn't have to have a cactus break your fall - pretty sure that would be rather unpleasant! Thanks for the armchair trip!ReplyDeleteReplies
Glad you enjoyed it, Maxi. In fact we did meet a coach on a corner that day - son was driving and had to jam on the brakes and back up to make room. With a cliff on one side and a drop on the other, a character-forming moment!Delete

Graduation in an Excellent Environment
Innovation through Collaboration
Chemists and biologists are increasingly confronted with questions that require interdisciplinary expertise. In fact, the foremost questions of basic and applied research can only be tackled and resolved through close collaboration among professionals with different but overlapping scientific backgrounds.
The Konstanz Research School Chemical Biology (KoRS-CB) prepares the next generation of chemical biologists to tackle one of the great challenges of the future: Explaining the processes of life in chemical terms. We have created an academic environment that fosters interdisciplinary education and research, thereby dissolving the traditional boundaries between research disciplines. Closely related to our graduate school: the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) "Chemical and Biological Principles of Cellular Proteostasis".
Training Tomorrow's Scientific Leaders
Ever since the human genome was sequenced, untangling the intricate network of molecular interactions that govern physiological processes has become a major focus of investigation in both basic and applied research. A potential key to understanding the mechanisms that determine and control biological processes is the comprehensive characterisation of individual proteins and their interaction with small and macromolecular ligands.
To accomplish this fascinating and challenging task, the traditional separation of science into different disciplines is no longer justified. The respective capabilities of different research areas have merged into synergistic interdisciplinary approaches. Indeed, there is an increasing demand in academia and in industry for scientists who are trained at the interface of chemistry and biology.
The main objective of the Konstanz Research School Chemical Biology (KoRS-CB) is to establish and support research and training programmes that transcend traditional disciplines. We aim to provide and develop novel approaches that increase understanding of biological processes and their interconnections at the molecular level. The research programme comprises the interdisciplinary areas Synthetic Chemistry, Cellular Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biomedicine, and Computational Life Science.
A Tradition of Excellence
Konstanz Research School Chemical Biology was founded in fall 2007 within the framework of the German Excellence Initiative. We were awarded continued recognition and financial support in the second phase of the Excellence Initiative as well.
The doctoral training programme builds on the interdisciplinary Bachelor/Master study course Life Sciences at the University of Konstanz, that was established in 2001.
Welcome to the first fellows
The first 23 doctoral researchers started their PhD studies in April 2008.
