About Us
The Learner
Arguably the most difficult part of acquiring any licence is the training involved as a learner driver to pass the provisional licence tests administered by the RTA.
Laurie's pleasant nature and calm disposition, backed up by his knowledge, experience and comprehensive training ability, ensure that this part of the process is as easy and enjoyable as possible for the learner driver.
Nervous Novices
Many learner drivers are understandably nervous when they are not proficient at the wheel of a motor vehicle. This nervousness is only more likely to cause them to make mistakes, and any sign of nervousness from the trainer can incite panic in the learner. One of the most important tools for any novice driver is a confident teacher.
Being calm under pressure is a valuable skill acquired through Laurie's extensive experience in a variety of situations, particularly the training of drivers of all kinds of road transport vehicles in all traffic situations and terrains.
As previously mentioned, Laurie is an EFT Practitioner. This gives him the skills to be able to quickly assist the trainee to release the tension which builds up in a novice driver, especially prior to a driving test.
Advanced Driver Training
Laurie's model for advanced driver training, is to create a low risk driving environment, utilising accident avoidance techniques rather than defensive driving techniques.
The difference being that accident avoidance techniques attempt to gain information on the driving environment before there is any necessity to take defensive action. Conversely, accident avoidance techniques rely on good observation, gear selection and vehicle position to avoid any situation or incident before it becomes a serious accident.
Many young drivers do not receive any experience in heavy traffic or difficult driving conditions prior to obtaining their licence. These situations require confidence and the ability to make and execute correct decisions quickly.
Initially, Laurie conducts a carefully developed classroom session explaining the necessary principals, skills and techniques involved. Laurie then assesses the trainee drivers' ability prior to taking them into densely populated situations that require quick decision making to practice the advanced DT techniques.

Part 1 of 2
Those damn show offs! Those twinkie skater boys. You see them everywhere, on skate boards, with the shirts off, and their pants down off their hips. Check out the Photo album number 408. You'll see those straight boys who love to tease us gay guys. But before you do, let me explain my close encounter of the 5th kind. I got my first up close and personal interaction with one, it was all by chance.
You see, the noise came from the abandoned skate park across the street. There were few kids living in our neighborhood, so the park was closed two years ago, as it wasn't considered safe anymore. But now there was one guy riding his skateboard on the concrete slopes and steel rails. I got out my binoculars and to see exactly who he was, or more accurate, if he was cute and worth observing from my bedroom window.
The guy caught in my sight was maybe 17, tall and slim. He had blond and wavy hair almost down to his shoulders. He was wearing a tank-top that was generously open on the sides, showing large areas of his tanned body. He seemed to be muscled, but in a wiry way, as I could clearly see the outlines of his ribs. The hem of his shirt was long enough to partly cover his waist, so I couldn't see the entire form of his butt, but from the visible part I could tell it was in line with the rest of his body.
I kept stalking the boy and wished I could be there hanging with them. My folks were away on a family thing, so I had the house to myself for a couple of weeks. Even from a distance he seemed to be from another planet than the jocks and losers of our town (I belong to the latter genre).
"Get up and go to the park, stupid!" a voice in my head told me. The voice tells me all kinds of things all the time, but I'm usually too shy or scared to follow its advice. But this was a chance of a lifetime. If I wouldn't be able to actually speak with this guy, At least I could watch him for a while without raising suspicions.
I grabbed my shorts and took a quick look at myself in the mirror. I'm not so bad, at 26, I was OK, 158 pounds in a 5 ft. 7 frame, but not muscular, nor athletic. I was nerdy without really being a nerd, bookish without being much of a reader, not girlish at all, but definitely gay. A strictly closeted one; you know the type, whose behavior doesn't betray his sexual orientation, but who is at school constantly under suspicion of being gay. Or, as the jocks put it, when they laugh at you in the school yard and speak just loud enough for you to recognize the pivotal expressions: fucking faggot, queer, homo. I had friends, but they were terrified of the bullies and mostly avoided being seen with me in public. I decided.
I tried to walk nonchalantly, taking side paths, until I reached the park – just incidentally, you know. A part of the chain fence surrounding the park was missing, so I went in through it; probably the same way this stranger had done. I sat down on a weathered bench and tried to look casual, pretending to be busy with my phone, stealing glances towards the guy. The boy kept riding his boards, but I noticed him looking at me every now and then. Once he looked at me a bit longer. I felt embarrassed and considered leaving, when the blond rolled his skateboard towards my bench and stopped right in front of me.
At closer look the teen was even hotter than I realized with my binoculars. His body was effortlessly taut and pleasantly muscled; some guys just have the right genes. The tank-top he was wearing had a large graphic image printed in black on the front: a huge fist with a middle finger pointing upwards. I would never dare to wear something like that in public!
The boy smiled at me, showing a nice collection of white teeth, and shook his head to clear the blond locks that partly covered his eyes. "What's up, dude?" he asked in a friendly tone. His blue eyes were fixed in mine as he waited for me to answer.
The simple question took me by surprise. "Aww, nothing, really. I just stopped by... uhh... to check my … my … Instagram," I stuttered.
In real life I didn't have an Instagram account, of course, as nobody was interested in seeing my photos. The guy looked amused. "You were checking your Instagram? Yeah, cool, that's a good thing to do every now and then."
He lifted the hem of his shirt absentmindedly to scratch his abdomen, revealing sweat-covered washboard abs and a sexy love trail. The thin path of hair, darker than his blond locks, disappeared under the waistband of his blue Ethica boxers and low-hanging jeans that were defying gravity with the help of a yellow canvas belt. The dirty and tattered jeans had rips here and there in the knees and thighs and even one so high up that I could see the leg of his boxers. The sight caused me an instant boner. With difficulty, I forced my eyes to turn away from the teen's loins.
"By the way, I'm Luke," he said and extended his hand after wiping it on his dirty jeans. I shook his hand. It felt warm and the handshake was firm.
"Hi, I'm Rob. I live across the street." He smiled.
"Yeah, I saw you in the window." I felt my face turn red, but Luke didn't push me on the subject.
"Look, Rob, could I fill my water bottle in your house, maybe several? Right now I'm living out of my car, so it's a bit difficult. I tried to do it at the gas station but some old motherfucker drove me away. He threatened to get his fucking shotgun." I laughed.
"Yeah, that's Stan, the owner. He's a crazy bastard. Sure, follow me." And we walked the short distance to my place.
I filled his bottle from the kitchen tap, trying to make some small talk. I supposed he'd get the other bottles for me to fill later. "You guys hungry?" he chuckled to himself.
"What is it? Did I say something funny?"
"Oh, no. It's just that I haven't had a decent meal for days now. Been living on chips and soda," Luke explained.
"You ran out of money? Not that it's any of my business." Luke smiled.
"Yeah, kinda. I was laid off without notice from a skate shop and I haven't got may final pay yet," he explained. I saw an opportunity.
"Look, I was just going to order some pizza," I lied. "It's no big deal to order their largest instead of the medium."
"Fuck no, I can't let you buy my food," he told me. The tone of his voice told me he hoped I wouldn't take no for an answer.
"Sure you can. I can afford that," I said and handed Luke the menu of our local takeaway.
"In that case," he said as he scanned the various types of pizza on the list. "How about a cheese and sausage?"
I was being offered the opportunity to spend some quality time with a very attractive boy skater, and if it cost me a few bucks, so be it. I spend money for less important causes all the time, like my own food and clothes.
I phoned in the order. I got us some sodas from the fridge and we sat down. I was curious to find out why Luke came to my town. There's absolutely nothing to see; believe me, I had been living there for seventeen years. The explanation was blunt.
"I knocked up a chick back home. Her brothers got pissed, so I had to leave town to let things cool off." Luke laughed at his own answer.
"Anyway, his brothers got some fucking gang relations and I don't want my beautiful life to end yet. I've got so much more to give to the ladies of this planet," Luke exclaimed and emphasized his words by making thrusts with his hips, making us both laugh.
The pizza guy rang the doorbell. I paid the bill and gave him a decent tip, and then set the steaming box on the table. Luke practically ripped the box into pieces and started to wolf down the first large slice. I ate at a slow pace, enjoying the hunky skater twink in my kitchen. Finally he was satisfied. "Thanks, man," Luke said with a loud burp. "I hope I can return the favor somehow." I could think of some ways, I thought to myself.
"Well, I'd better get going, man. I need to find a place to stay before it gets dark." Luke told me. Did I mention I'm not stupid? An idea shot through my head like a lightning.
"Look, I've got this whole house to myself for a few days. You are welcome to stay for a day or two. We've got a guest room upstairs." My idea was not hard to sell.
"Cool man, thanks! I sure would appreciate a real bed and a hot shower," Luke said, clearly delighted.
"You can take a shower anytime you want," I said, trying not to seem too eager. The boy went to his car to collect a hefty back pack, and returned. Luke started to go through his stuff.
"Fuck, I thought I had a set of clean clothes left. No, just boxers. But all my t-shirts and socks are dirty."
"No problem. I'll lend you some of mine. Just bring your wash downstairs and I'll take care of it." I gave Luke an unused, large plastic trashcan bag and told him to stuff his dirty clothes in it.
"Thanks man, I really appreciate this," he said and was about to leave when he changed his mind and peeled off his white ankle socks.
"Put these in too, willya", he said and tossed the socks towards his bag. He missed and they fell on the floor. He didn't bother to pick them up.
"Time for my shower," he said and left. I looked at the socks on the floor. Luke had been wearing them just seconds ago. I closed the laundry room door and picked up a dingy white sock. It was still warm and moist and I felt my cock harden. I sat down on a stool and picked up the other sock too. Despite a strong feeling of guilt, I closed my eyes, pressed the socks on my face, and took a deep breath through my nose. A strong odor of teen feet filled my senses. I took another whiff, and a third one, rubbing my crotch with my free hand. Suddenly Luke's laughter made me freeze.
"Dude, what the fuck? You're sniffing my socks!"
Shocked, I opened my eyes and felt my face turn beet red. Luke was standing in the doorway, barefoot but otherwise fully clothed, laughing at me. I dropped the socks and sunk my head down. "No, don't get me wrong Luke, I was... I just wanted to see how dirty they are," I stuttered.
Luke found my pitiful comment even more hilarious. "Hahaha! And to see that, you had to bury your face in them?" I just sat there and wished the floor would open up and swallow me. Luke kept laughing for a good while, but finally he was able to stop.
He moved in front of me and put his bare foot on the stool between my legs, just an inch from my tenting crotch. "You got a boner from sniffing my socks? Dude?" He snickered.
"No, I just..." I started but he cut me off.
"Come on man, you've been eyeballing me from the very second we met."
I tried not to cry but I was too ashamed. Tears welled up in my eyes. "I'm so sorry Luke. Please don't tell anyone. I'll do anything," I sobbed.
"Chill out, man. Move over," he said tapping my shoulder.
I moved as much as I could so that Luke was able to sit on the little stool next to me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer. My head was resting against his bare shoulder, my face only inches from his armpit. I could smell his deodorant, already starting to wear off, and the scent of his sweat. His warm body was pressed against mine. In spite of my embarrassment, my cock was rock hard.
"I won't tell anybody, Rob. I promise. This stays just between you and me. Have you ever told anyone you're gay?"
He ruffled my hair. "It's all right dude, we're all different. I don't judge you by that. But it's so fucking wrong that you have to live closeted in this hick town without letting your true feelings out. And when you have a young guy in your house for once, you wanna sniff his socks to get off. That sucks, man."
"Yeah, it sucks," I sobbed. I felt so much better now that I could share my inner secrets with someone. We sat silent for a while. Then Luke spoke with a soft voice.
"Wanna smell the real thing?"
I couldn't believe my ears. Was he saying what I thought he was? "What... what do you mean?"
Luke stood up, moved right in front of me and ran his fingers through my hair. My eyes were level with his denim-clad crotch. "I've been zigzagging through this fucking redneck country for a week now. No pussy, sleeping in the car, and hardly a private moment to jack off. I could sure use some assistance."
"Luke, I..." I couldn't finish my sentence. He stepped even closer; his pelvis was just inches away from my face. I could feel heat radiating off his body. He took a gentle hold of the back of my head and pulled it until my face was pressed on the crotch of his jeans.
"This is the real thing, Rob." I inhaled through my nose. The mixture was intoxicating: dirty denim, sweat, urine and testosterone; the scent of boy. "You like it?"
"Would you like to help me out?" I was too scared to answer him. The voice inside my head was yelling "yes, yes, yes!" but that would be crossing a point of no return. Maybe Luke was just making fun of me?
He continued to talk soothingly, all the time petting my hair. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to, Rob. Your secret is safe with me anyway. But I think we might have a win-win situation here, dude. I'll let you suck me off. I really need that, man."
He leaned back a little and grabbed the hem of his shirt, pulled the tank-top over his head, revealing his flat abdomen and the dark blond love trail I admired in the skate park. Then he lifted my chin with his finger and leaned closer, so that my nose was pressed on his lower abdomen and his love trail tickled my lips. Luke's smell was heady and promising. He let go of my head but I didn't back down. We both knew I was hooked.
"Go ahead, Rob. You can touch me." I touched his abdomen carefully with my fingers. He didn't flinch, so I started to caress his hard stomach lovingly. "Do you like me, Rob?"
"Yeah. I like you very much, Luke."
"Good, that's good. Now show me how much you like me."
Skater Twink Show Off
Part 2 of 2
Emboldened by his encouragement, I pressed my lips on his belly. That was the first time in my life I kissed another person in a sexual way. I loved the way Luke's skin tasted and felt against my lips. I kissed his abdomen over and over again and explored his navel with my tongue. Luke took hold of my wrist and pressed my hand on his crotch. The worn denim was soft but I could feel his cock getting hard against my fingers.
"Why don't you give it a little rub," he said and let go of my wrist. I started to rub his crotch gently, sliding my fingers back and forth on the shaft of his rod.
"Mmmmm. That feels so good. You want to take it out, don't you?" Tears welled up in my eyes. I nodded, unable to speak. "Yeah, you do. It's waiting for you there, dude. Just open my jeans."
I unbuckled Luke's belt and opened the top button of his jeans. Only three copper buttons were now hiding the promised treasures from me. The frayed buttonholes gave no resistance as I popped the buttons one after another. His cock strained against the confines of his tight blue boxers, waiting to be taken care of. I caressed it with my fingers. After a few strokes the cotton became moist and I could feel and smell warm slime oozing through the thin fabric.
It felt so natural for me to lean closer and lick the bulge of Luke's underwear, tasting another boy's precum for the first time in my life. It tasted salty and a little bitter. I wanted more, a lot more. He let me slurp it for a while before giving me my next instructions.
"Help me get rid of these jeans, man." I pulled the rugged jeans down to his knees. Then I kneeled on the floor and with some difficulty managed to pull them completely off. I tossed the jeans aside and looked up. Luke smiled at me.
"You're doing fine, Rob. You wanna make me feel good, don't you?"
I nodded. "I do, Luke. But I haven't done this before." I looked up at him and I could see his surprise look at me. Of course, he is thinking, a 26 year old gay man has never sucked a dick before? He was not being rude at all, but quite supportive, and calming. After all, we both wanted me to suck his dick.
"Don't be afraid. You'll know what to do. Trust me, I've seen it happen."
"You've done this before?" I ask?
His blunt reply surprised me. "Sure, there's this faggot in our school. I let him suck me off sometimes." Luke surprised me even more by pressing his middle finger between my lips. It tasted of pizza. I sucked it instinctively. "Yeah. You've got it in your blood. Go on."
I reached out with my hands and felt Luke's firm thighs, enjoying the magnificent feeling of being able to massage his powerful muscles. I let my hands slide slowly higher until I reached his waist. I hooked my fingers under the waistband of his boxers and peeled them down. A bush of short pubic hair came into sight. It looked like he usually groomed it, but it had grown a bit longer during their road trip.
I lowered the boxers a little more and revealed his cock. It was a man-sized sex organ, maybe six inches long, but it wasn't fully hard yet. I knew Luke expected me to take it in my mouth and suck it. I was a little scared that I wouldn't be able to fit it in, but I sure would try hard. I caressed the silky shaft with my fingers.
"It takes a while for a guy to get me ready to be sucked. Just lick it up." I stuck my tongue out and gave Luke's teen gun a loving lick from the root to the purple mushroom head. He sighed. "Yeah. That's it. Keep going."
I took a longer lick, this time starting from his ball sack. And then I just kept licking, feeling his rod grow under my tongue. After maybe twelve passionate licks his cock was pointing towards the ceiling, ready to be serviced.
"That's enough. Open up."
I opened my mouth and Luke didn't waste any time penetrating it. He guided his joystick between my lips and made a tentative push. It surprised me and I gagged a little. He pulled out and let me catch breath for a second or two. Then he pushed in again, this time a bit deeper. The musky taste and smell of unwashed teenage crotch filled my world, and I loved it. I was now tasting another boy's cock; something I had dreamed about so many times alone in my room, never expecting to experience it in real life.
Luke started pumping his dick in and out; gently at first, but his moves became more determined with every thrust. I panicked at first as he forced his cock deeper in my mouth, but after a minute or so I suddenly realized my nose and upper lip were pressed on his pubes and my lower lip met his ball sack. Every six inches of Luke's love ambassador were now inside my mouth. He saw that too, of course.
"Yeah, that's the way." Luke told me. Like his was instructing me; a 17 year-old instructing a 26 year old. Yeah, it was odd, but that's exactly what I needed. When he saw I could now take in his entire young cock, all his inhibitions disappeared. He took a strong hold of my head with his both hands and started to pound my face for real.
"Squeeze your lips tight and start sucking. Use your tongue and watch your teeth." It wasn't a suggestion or a request, it was a command. And I obeyed, tightening my lips around Luke's pumping cum-missile. I took hold of his rock-hard buttocks, pulling him closer with every inward thrust.
"Oh yeah. This is what faggots are for. You're a better cocksucker than the school fag," he panted. His degrading words were humiliating, of course, but the dirty talk was also a huge turn-on for me, coming from this young stallion. It was a part of his enjoyment; he was pleased with my performance as his sexual attendant and that was all that mattered.
Luke was now lost in his own lust. There was no warmth or friendship between us anymore; I was just a fag he used as an outlet for his needs. And I accepted that with gratitude. We both had only one ambition there, to bring Luke to orgasm. The forceful skull-fucking took maybe five minutes. A mixture of precum and spit ran down my chin and neck and my jaw was numb, but I was determined to serve Luke until he got his satisfaction.
Finally I felt his rod starting to pulse heavily between my lips and I knew the finale was at hand. Right after that he grunted, exhaled deeply and filled my mouth with cum. Most of his first load went straight down my throat, but I backed down a little so I could catch the next one in my mouth. This copious shipment of teen fluid was a gift from Luke and I was determined to drink every drop he deposited in me. I realized that a young cocksucker and cum-junkie had been living as a prisoner inside my body all these years; and now Luke had opened the doors. I finally knew who I was.
He withdrew himself from me after shooting four shots of warm slime into my mouth. I swallowed the rest of it and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand.
Suddenly I felt a rush of emotions and started to cry. Luke looked surprised and put his hand on my shoulder. "What's wrong, man? Did I hurt you?" I shook my head, unable to speak. "What is it then, tell me. Is it because I called you faggot? That's just guy-talk."
I took a deep breath and looked up, meeting his blue eyes. "No, no. It's just that... that was the best thing ever, thank you so much, Luke," I sobbed and leaned over to kiss his softening cock.
Luke laughed. "You're thanking me for letting you suck me off?"
I smiled, tears still running down my cheeks. "Yes. And I want to do it again, soon. And you can call me whatever you want. Just let me suck you off again."
"Well, you're welcome. And I see you enjoyed it a lot," he said pointing my tenting shorts with his finger.
"Yeah. I guess it's no use asking you to do something about it?" He chuckled. "Use my dirty boxers and socks to jack off while I'm taking a shower," Luke told me, sounding more and more like he was directing me, ordering me to do stuff. But still … being very pleasant. He poked his discarded boxers on the floor with his toe, as if to say, "this is all you get."
Ouch! I guess that was meant to be a kind and helpful. Luke saw the hurt look on my face. He looked embarrassed for a second or two but then a shining smile appeared on his face. He reconsidered.
"I tell you what, Rob; I'll let you wash my back." My mood brightened immediately. I was once again ecstatic. I followed Luke to the bathroom, admiring his bubble buttocks swaying as he walked. He stepped in the shower cubicle and adjusted the water temperature. Then he moved under the shower and let the warm water embrace his body while I waited outside. He reached for the shampoo bottle, but I intervened quickly.
"I could wash your hair, too." He laughed.
"I bet you could. Okay, Rob."
I stepped inside the cubicle and took the bottle from him. I was fully clothed as I reckoned that Luke wouldn't want to see me naked. But that didn't matter. I poured some shampoo on my palm and spread it into his hair. Then I kneaded his thick locks thoroughly with my fingers. I repeated the process as I could feel that his hair really needed a good wash. Finally he rinsed his hair under the shower while I stood there watching. The foam ran down on his taut body, making it shine in the dim light of the bathroom. He looked absolutely divine in my eyes.
I took the soap bar and rubbed soap on my palms. Luke saw that and turned his back to me, clasping his hands on top of his head. I started to soap Luke's back gently, worshiping his tanned skin and hard muscles. His armpits were fully exposed, so I extended the definition of "back" and washed the sensitive skin and soft hairs of his pits carefully. Then I worked my way slowly downwards, making sure I touched every spot of his back. I hesitated when I reached his buttocks. He flinched and I backed immediately. I didn't want to scare him, but I hated the idea of having to stop worshiping his body, so I tried another tactics. I poured more soap on my palm and rubbed it on his neck and chest. He didn't stop me so I soaped and washed his sides. Then I reached to his front with my hands so I could wash his stomach. I took extra care to clean his navel and the small canyons between the mounds of his six-pack. Then I continued downwards, until my finger met his pubes.
"That's far enough. I don't feel like it now." Shit! But I wasn't going to give in without trying. I had just sucked him off, so there was little need for shyness.
"I could wash your legs."
Luke laughed. "Oh my god, what have I done? I've created a monster! A fag monster!" We both laughed. Luke's laughter turned into a mischievous grin. He bent his head back and filled his mouth with water. Then he sprayed it directly in my face.
"Ask me nice." So Luke wanted me to beg his permission to wash his legs! Well, if that's what was needed, so be it. I kneeled down on the plastic floor. Water was now pouring straight on me and my clothes became soaking wet in an instance, but I didn't care. I looked up to Luke's grinning face.
"Luke, please let me wash your legs. I'll wash them really well if you let me. Please." But his expression did not change. "Please kind sir. I promise to be good and please you. Please let me wash you to your liking?"
Finally, he laughed and ruffled my hair. "Go for it, dude."
I rubbed soap on my hands again and started to wash Luke's feet. I could hear him chuckle above me, but he leaned on the wall of the cubicle and lifted his feet one after another so I was able to give them a thorough wash. When I had cleaned his every toe with great care I let my hands move up, working on his hairy calves. My target was to wash him up to, and including, is well-rounded ass checks.
When I reached his knees he interrupted me.
"Okay, enough treats for one day, dude. Maybe I'll be kinder tomorrow, and by next week, I might even let you kiss my ass. Now get the fuck out of here." He chucked, knowing I was going to do whatever he wanted me to do.
I got up and stepped out of the shower stall, closing the sliding door behind me. I stepped out of my shorts, stripped off my shirt and dropped the wet clothes on the floor. I dried myself hastily and rushed to the laundry room.
I picked up Luke's boxers and sat down on the floor with my back to the wall. The taste of teen cum was still strong in my mouth, and when I inhaled Luke's scent through his underwear, and then began to rub his dirty underwear all over and around my hard, pulsing dick. I shot my load immediately into his boxers.
Luke had called it a win-win situation. Sure, he used me to drop a load. But I felt he had given me so much more. He had changed my whole life in less than an hour. I knew I would be grateful and in debt for him for the rest of my life. All was well. That is except for his comment that he'd be kinder to me tomorrow and next week. I wondered what he had in mind. Was he going to move in? For how long? But … for right now, I was not concerned about the tomorrows.

Blaupunkt will also launch smartphones, tablets and wearables in the Indian market next year, but will take into account profitability and business demand before deciding on the price segments it plans to enter.
"We're entering the less price sensitive market segment, which is conservatively more than Rs 10,000 crore, which has grown about 20% over last year and is expected to grow about 25% in 2017 on-year," said Andrzej Cebrat, managing director of Global Intellectual Property Development at Blaupunkt.
"India builds the case study lesson for global markets. If we're successful in the Indian market, the reviews we get here will be valid in other markets," he added, when asked about entering a highly cluttered and competitive market, in both smartphones and accessories segments.
Cebrat added that the company was open to manufacture the products including phones in India, if the volumes supported the business case.
The company expects sales of up to 10 million mobile phone accessory units by end of next year in India, 70% coming from the offline channel. More than 80% of the company's global revenue of $800 million comes from car infotainment products and televisions. About 5% share comes from smartphones launched in Indonesia, Africa and tablets launched in Europe.
The car infotainment brand has signed an exclusive brand licensing agreement with Delhi-based distributor Vidur & Co, which will invest Rs 20 crore over the next 18 months, in establishing sales channels to online and offline retailers across India. Sales from online portals Amazon, Snapdeal and eBay India from tomorrow, while talks are on with Flipkart and Tata Cliq to expand tie-ups.
In the offline space, the products will be sold through large format retail store chains and standalone retailers across the country, that still make up more than a third of the country's retail market.
Blaupunkt will introduce USB cables starting, priced between Rs 250 and Rs 750, wired and wireless earphones between Rs 300 and Rs 600, power banks between Rs 1,000 and Rs 2,000, starting with 10,000 mAh capacity, and car chargers. It will also launch VR headsets, starting from Rs 500 and going up to Rs 3,500.
Accessories is a high volume business with margins between 15-20%, far higher than margins made by smartphone players, which is why several local mobile phone making companies such as Karbonn have started offering them on their own.
Mobile phone accessories will be sold in Sri Lanka and Nepal starting April next year following which supplies to Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives and
Pakistan will begin, executives from Vidur & Co said.
After sales customer service centres in India dedicated for accessories, were also launched with 50 centres, which will be scaled up to 200 by December next year.

Cheat Sheet
Mobile Internet For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Mobile websites are not the same as desktop websites. A mobile website is usually pared down so it's functional on the much smaller device — whether that's your smartphone or a tablet. If you want to build a mobile version of your own website, you can use your existing domain with some common, minor adjustments.
Using Existing Domains for a Mobile Website
If you want to keep your existing web domain but create a specific mobile address, you can follow a couple of conventions.
One possibility is to place an extra section at the start of the domain name. You can then use this section, often known as a third-level domain, to replace the www that's often used at the start of web addresses. One common replacement is mobile, and another is simply m. So your site address could then become
This approach is useful if you want to hold on to the use of your existing .com site. It might involve some extra keystrokes on the part of the user, although most mobile browsers default to the mobile site. Although some host providers may charge you for extra third-level domains, only a small amount of configuration is required, and of course you don't need to buy a new domain name.
You can also use directories under the domain name. These are like folders in a desktop file system: a hierarchy of names after the address that help split up the site into useful sections. You might choose to use the name mobile in that way and use a site address like this:
Again, a directory might involve more typing for the user, but it doesn't require you to configure anything special on your web server.
Tools You Need to Access a Mobile Website
Almost all of the stuff you can find on the Internet now, whether you view it, download it, or generate it as a user, is well suited to be delivered by fast Internet technology: broadband and cable networks. But all that cool Internet stuff may not be as well suited to a mobile phone — or as appealing, if it isn't produced in the right format or context. That's because the similarities between the mobile Internet and the wired Internet are (for the most part) skin deep — and the differences are complex.
Ten years ago, the challenge for wireless carriers, mobile phone manufacturers, and Internet-based content companies was how to give customers access to the huge amounts of information and services available on the Internet on the go.
The mobile Internet, on the other hand, has overcome this challenge. To access the mobile Internet, this is all you need:
A smartphone, tablet, gaming console, or other portable device that can go online: First and foremost, you can't jump onto the mobile Internet without a mobile phone or other mobile device.
A mobile browser: To make the Internet work on mobile phones, wireless carriers created and installed made-for-mobile website browsers in all mobile phones. Although mobile browsers and desktop browsers have their similarities, you still find that using a mobile browser to navigate the web is a unique experience. (For one thing, while 4G LTE might be the fastest wireless service yet, it's still pretty slow compared a regular browser.)
A data plan: To use the mobile Internet, you have to have a data plan from your cell phone provider.
How Mobile Websites Differ from Regular Websites
A made-for-mobile Internet site is a website that's streamlined and designed to work on mobile devices. The sites are most easily identified by their URLs —often, the www part has been replaced with an m — for example, m.miniusa.com versus www.miniusa.com, and m.dummies.com versus www.dummies.com.
Full Internet sites often have too many graphics and too much information for mobile phones and other handheld devices to access and display in a practical way. Accessing the pure Internet on a mobile phone might not be the best use of a person's time and money.
For example, see the Mini Cooper home page shown in the following figure. The Mini Cooper website uses Flash, javascript, and advanced html, which together allow for some cool effects — hovering over each car in the lower right brings up a larger photo of that particular model, as well as its specs. These advanced web design programs, however, aren't compatible for mobile devices.
The solution is to make a full Internet-like experience work on mobile phones — and that means making it very simple. The information that people want on their mobile phones should be easy to access and display, and not use a ton of data from their wireless plans. The made-for-mobile phrase indicates that a site enables you to
Browse more easily on your mobile device: Because a mobile device has a small screen, no large keyboard, and no "real" mouse, a made-for-mobile site has pared-down navigation, lets you enter text easily, and is designed to fit on a smaller screen.
Access highly condensed, small bites of content and services on the go: The sites are specifically designed and developed for your mobile phone, offering just the information you're most likely to be looking for.
The next figure shows you Mini Cooper's mobile website. Notice the differences?
The best use of the mobile Internet is to receive the information, applications, and services that work best on mobile devices when you're away from your computer. There's no reason to overload your mobile gizmos with everything you can see on the Internet. The mobile Internet is the information equivalent of a fast snack on the go. At a bus stop, in a taxi or train, waiting for a plane or a friend, before a business meeting, you can snap up tidbits of useful info.

Yes, the gas gets finished over a period of time on use. The cooling capacity reduces thus in order to get back the efficiency, regassing is suggested. The gas in the form of coolant plays an important role. The rubber or plastic hoses are used for the gas restoration like in-car Ac which makes the early end of the gas. This problem does not occur in the home Ac as the system is different.
The spray of water on the air conditioner will wash away the dirt and oily particles which are produced by the condenser and coil. This will help in increasing the efficiency of the system. But it is not advised to wash them with the spray of the water.

After he graduated from Madras University, he went on to the University of Montpellier in France on a scholarship. He moved to the United States in 1966, where he taught at the University of Texas at Austin until 1983, when he retired as emeritus professor.

I often wonder if you took someone with ZERO knowledge of any OS or computer and gave them a machine with a blank hard drive, if this windows vs linux "thing" would turn out differently. While I doubt this person exists, it would be interesting. It seems to me today a lot if not the majority of people just go buy a computer with the OS preinstalled, then learning the rest is "as we go" so to speak.
That's ok. (though it was one of the longest posts I've seen here )
Could I quote it somewhere else in the internetz?

I had surprised one day when I have posted 68 nice posts and whenever I had submitted the sitemap it shows always 26 submitted and 25 or 24 in web index. I started to think why only 25 or 24 posts have indexed by Google in out of 68 posts. The Reason is If you are submitting simple sitemap URL then it will take always only latest 26 URL from sitemap and recent top 26 pages will be crawled by Google spider or Google Bot. So for achieving indexing of all pages we required to make a little change in common sitemap URL.
1. Common Sitemap URL –
In this sitemap only 26 URL will be considered by Google and will be crawled from out of 26.It counts from recent posts.For an example if I have 200 Pages for my blog then this common sitemap URL will not work.
2. SitemapURL crawled 100 pages –
Suppose if you want to crawl 100 pages from your blog then sitemap URL will be as written below
It indicates that starting index is 1 and Max 100 pages will be crawled by Google spider.
3. Sitemap URL crawled more than 100 Pages-
If you further want to submit pages to Google webmaster to crawl then sitemap URL will change see little difference below-
Start-Index will be changed to 100 and max-result will be set by 200. It indicates that up to 200 pages will be indexed from 101 Index.So this is very nice way to submit all pages to Google. You will get more visitors if all pages have well placed or indexed . Submit your blog in Google webmaster tool by changing your site name.
How to Submit a Sitemap to Google –
1. Login in Google webmaster tool https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en
2. Click on Site Configuration > Sitemap
3. Click on Submit a Sitemap
4. Enter remaining URL after your Domain Name URL –
If you have less than 26 post then you can post default sitemap URL that is written below.
5. After posting wait for at least half an hour or more than to see submitted URL and Indexed number of pages, login again web master tool.

The heart, and chicken parm, of Sister's Pizza
A beloved sibling memorialized at Hillcrest eatery
Ian Anderson 11 a.m., Dec. 9
Discover for yourself the many faces of Monte-Carlo and the surrounding French Riviera.
On the way to break the bank in Monte-Carlo, Monaco, lovers of modern art will want to spend time in nearby Nice taking in priceless works of art at the Musee Matisse and Musee Chagall. The rich, colorful palettes and organic forms of the masters' paintings will do the soul of a weary traveler good.
Between Nice and Monaco, along the coastal route of the French Riviera, lies the rocky 9th-century medieval village of Èze. Cars are not permitted, so the village's narrow cobblestone lanes are perfect for browsing its famous boutiques, brimming over with fine silk and linens, olive wood carvings, paintings of Provence and ceramic pots.
One of the highlights of Èze is the guided tour of the Fragonard Perfume Factory, where you can see how perfume, soap and other cosmetics are made. Your sense of smell will never be the same!
Continue along the coast to Monte-Carlo, where over 300 days of sunshine and mild temperatures year round await you. In the midst of all the opulence, on the Boulevard du Jardin-Exotique lie two stunning surprises, the Exotic Garden and the Observatory Caves.
A magical garden of year-round blooming plants cascades over the rock face and along the cliffs, revealing views of Monaco and the Italian Riviera. Follow the path over the many footbridges and descend 200 feet beneath the gardens to view the illuminated stalactites and stalagmites of the Observatory Caves.

The Leap Manifesto is a pledge that calls for "a Canada based on caring for the Earth and one another." Leonard Cohen, William Gibson, David Suzuki, Arcade Fire, Leslie Feist, and Rachel McAdams are some of the famous names who are supporting it.
The writing of The Leap Manifesto launched in the spring of 2015 at a two-day meeting in Toronto, which was attended by representatives from Canada's Indigenous rights, social and food justice, environmental, faith-based and labour movements.
"Indigenous communities have been at the forefront of protecting rivers, coasts, forests and lands from out-of-control industrial activity. We can bolster this role, and reset our relationship, by fully implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples."
The manifesto calls "on all those seeking political office to seize this opportunity and embrace the urgent need for transformation." It pledges to invest in decaying public infrastructure, to build high-speed rail powered by just renewables and affordable public transit can unite every community in this country, to create universal program that builds energy efficient homes, and to support the rights of indigenous people. The leap, it says, must begin by respecting the inherent rights and title of the original caretakers of this land.
Read the full manifesto, then sign it.

A really simple and tasty scallops recipe with chorizo sausage and spaghetti.
You can use fresh or frozen scallops here.
Also, if you prefer, you could use any spicy sausage you like or even diced ham. It's important to get the mixture of flavors with the scallops.
Spaghetti is good, but once again, you can substitute taglitelle, ribbon pasta or any other pasta you fancy.
Serve with parmesan cheese handed separately and some crusty bread to mop up the juices.
Scallops and Chorizo with Spaghetti
3 scallops
500g pack spaghetti
3 tbspn olive oil
100g (4 oz) chorizo, cut into chunks
1 red and 1 green pepper, cut into chunks
small can chopped tomatoes
2 cloves garlic - peeled and crushed
fresh parsley - chopped
Trim the scallops and cut them into half across, then again into semi circles.
Bring a pan of water up to the boil for the spaghetti.
Heat a frying pan add the chorizo. Fry until the fat runs.
Add the garlic and peppers and fry for a few minutes until softened. If this absorbs the fat too quickly, then add some of the olive oil.
Add the tomatoes and simmer for about five minutes.
Heat the pan and add the scallops. Fry a minute either side until the meat is firm - they will become opaque.
While the tomato mixture is cooking, boil the spaghetti for the time recommended on the pack.
Drain the spaghetti into a large bowl and stir in the olive oil and parsley.
Add the scallops to the tomato mixture and toss to mix everything together.
Serve whilst hot with some crusty bread to mop up the juices.

Transformation of 1920s Laurelhurst Bungalow with Big Dormer
This is a project that I completed around six years ago for a client and dear friend. The couple had just purchased a very cute bungalow type house in the Laurelhurst neighborhood that had a large, vaulted attic space which was livable as-is but was essentially just one very large room covered in knotty-pine panelling.

Multi-function Dividing Wall and Bedroom
This family came to me to see if there was a way to add a third bedroom to this little bungalow so that their kids could each get a room of their own. The home had previously been remodeled with an addition that gave them a large kitchen and master suite. But the existing living room […]
Woodstock Double Galley Kitchen
A galley kitchen can be a real challenge but with some careful moves and thoughtful design, you can create a real workhorse of a room! This darling, bungalow style home from the 1920s, had a small but efficient kitchen on the back side of the home. The kitchen appeared original but there had been some […]

DC-DC Converters
It may seem a little strange to see converters that take in and release the same kind of power, but that is exactly what DC-DC converters do. Stored Energy Products offers a wide range of DC-DC converters for any application. These voltage converters are quite popular and are necessary items for today's electronics. In fact, you have probably seen and used these converters for a number of different devices.
What are DC-DC Converters?
Put simply, this is an electronic circuit that will convert one direct current source from a single voltage to another type of voltage. So, while the power itself is still direct current (DC) to direct current (DC), the voltage is being changed. This makes it a type of power converter. These converters are used for powering electronic devices such as laptops and cellular phones that normally run off battery power. This is because these electronic devices contain sub-circuits that have their own voltage requirements which are different than what is supplied by a battery or outside external supply source. Plus, these converters solve the issue of declining battery voltage by increasing the amount which actually saves space inside the electronic device. This would otherwise be used by adding more batteries.
Many of these converters also regulate the output voltage as well, with the exceptions of high efficient LED power sources. This type of source uses a DC to DC converter that will regulate the current through the LED. Overall, these voltage converters are very useful and help to make many different electronic devices smaller in size than they otherwise would be.
At Stored Energy Products we have the product selection and inventory to support any project small or large. As a certified distributor for many of the world's converter manufacturers we carry the same commitment to customer service as they do to product excellence. For easy ordering please view the product pages below. For resellers and high volume buyers we offer our PRO Account; a wholesale program offering a growing product line of batteries, accessories, LED lighting, solar, wind, custom power solutions and more.

Signs of summer05/31/2010 at 7:19 pm | Posted in just plain fun, Small Fry, snap happy | 3 Comments
Tags: memorial day weekend
We had such a great weekend. But how can any weekend that includes grilled hot dogs not be awesome?
Even though we stayed in town, it felt like vacation.
We grilled out, took naps, hit the pool, ate our first watermelon and corn-on-the-cob of the season. Small fry also got her first taste of bbq-flavored potato chips. Big thumbs-up.
She was timid at the pool, so I thought it would be a good idea to take her under water with me. You know, a learning moment. Not so much. First, there was shock. Then the screaming. But she recovered quickly and soon was congratulating herself. Repeatedly.
A little pre-swim yoga to warm up the ol' muscles:
Our blissful three days together wound down with another meal on the grill and blueberries from Vollmer Farm (I could eat the whole pint — they're like buttah).
Hope your weekend was awesome!
Did you eat hot dogs?
Happiness is: a finished project05/28/2010 at 9:52 am | Posted in DIY, Happiness is | 6 Comments
Tags: baby's room, bedroom furniture, dresser, nursery, refinished furniture
When we inherited this dresser from Marc's cousin before Small Fry was born, it was a yellowed shade of cream with stenciled blue flowers. Not a pretty sight. But we saw the potential in it, and Marc painstakingly refinished it to a lovely pink with white handles.
It was the fist thing we finished in the nursery and sat by itself for weeks, surrounded by boxes, piles of clothes and other treasures we accumulated at our baby showers. I'd go sit on the nursery floor and just stare at that dresser, smiling at the thought of one day stuffing it with tiny baby girl clothes.
For the longest time though, I've been itching to add color to it.
So I painted the handles green and gave the drawers a refresher coat of pink (which, it's hard to tell from these photos, is a shade lighter than the rest of the dresser).
You can really see the detail in the handles now:
I'm so happy with how it turned out, and I especially like how that green ties into the polka-dot bolster that my mother-in-law made.
Not a huge project, but still makes me smile!

Small Fry peed IN THE POTTY yesterday!! Twice!
This is a huge event in our little world. We've been reading "Once Upon a Potty," and it's quickly become Small Fry's most requested book. She can pretty much recite the whole thing. So yesterday, when she said she wanted to sit on the potty like Prudence, we sprinted to the bathroom faster than you can say poo-poo.
And just like in the book, she sat and sat and sat and sat. I saw her little belly contract. She was trying so hard.
Then, the tinkle.
Her eyes lit up and a gigantic, expectant smile stretched across her face. Positively beaming.
It was too much, y'all. I wanted to laugh and cry at the exact same time.
Because she is growing up so, so fast.
Strawberry pickin'05/26/2010 at 10:10 pm | Posted in Small Fry, snap happy | 5 Comments

Oh, we had the best fun today! After breakfast and the requisite 15 minutes of "Tom and Jerry," Small Fry and I hopped in the car and headed to Vollmer Farm. It's the only farm in North Carolina that grows organic strawberries, and I've been wanting to check it out since the season opened earlier this month.
Lemme just say, it was well worth the trek.
I have such wonderful memories of strawberry picking with my dad. I loved it. Except for the bugs. And spiders. But I just knew that Small Fry would have a ball. In part because bugs and spiders (and dirt) fascinate her. Throw in one of her all-time favorite foods right there for the taking, and it's like toddler utopia. The only thing better would have been an orchard of string-cheese trees.
Small Fry ate faster than I could pick. She garbaged those berries until the juice ran down her arms and somehow made its way down her legs too. Her joy was as pure as it gets. Just awesome.
Small Fry was fearless, running down those rows without a care. Usually in new places she's glued to one of my legs. Not today. Made me SO happy.
She even double-fisted for a little while. Because, you know, it's more efficient that way.
Vollmer Farm is really cool. In addition to fields covered in strawberries, they also grow organic blueberries and other produce. There's all sorts of stuff for kids to climb and play on, and a country store stocked with goodies. AND a homemade ice-cream parlor. Small Fry had a scoop of vanilla (with sprinkles of course) for lunch. There are hay rides, and during fall they have a pumpkin patch, corn maze and more hay rides.
Not to mention sweet Bea.
The fruits of our labor. Minus about 500 berries that surely will produce an epic diaper tomorrow morning.

Tags: Motherhood, new baby, new motherhood, trimming baby's nails
(This is part of Belly to Butterfly, by my sis Laura.)
Something great happened last week. I accidentally clipped off a smidge of O's pinky skin during my attempts to shorten her nails. Three band-aids later and about a dozen teary apologies from me, O was sitting in her tub, splashing away contentedly.
Me, the self-proclaimed (in my head!) "expert" of O, made her bleed. And we both survived.
Why is this great? Simply put, because I needed to knock myself off my pedestal and ease up on my watchful ways when others interact with O … especially C.
I've come to realize that I hover more than a helicopter over a car chase. In my twisted mind, C isn't fast enough when it comes to bathing or feeding, isn't in tune with O's every thought and desire like me, and surely needs my watchful eyes and helpful tips to do even the most mundane baby tasks.
I'll say it for him, "Ack!"
So you see…the finger thing was a saving grace for us both. For C, because he needs room to be a dad; he's an amazing one. And for me, because I need to relax and not be so worried about damaging my bond with O or having somebody misread her signals. Do you know how I best learned with O? She told me … through her tears, shouts and laughter. In doubting others, I've doubted her. She's a smart cookie … she'll let you know what she does or doesn't like.
And although I might still cringe a little inside when I see someone hold her a little too long, or feed her a little too slow I know, now, that there's a difference between support and smothering. Better yet, I know that there are other rooms I can go to!

I'm a hoarder of many things. Buttons. Candles. Clothes that don't fit, but someday (SOMEDAY) they just might.
One of my biggest weaknesses? Cute stationery. I can't get enough. I used to be a big letter-writer, especially when I was a kid. Mom trained us well in the art of a proper thank-you note, and I loved writing letters to my grandparents.
So I'm pretty psyched about my latest Etsy discovery: ebee paperie. TOO CUTE. And clever! Just look:
How awesome is it to get a letter in the mail? A REAL letter, especially when it's not your birthday and someone sent it to you just because? Awesome.
And, really, who couldn't use a little mustache greeting to brighten your day?

Itsy bitsy pider05/24/2010 at 9:37 am | Posted in Small Fry, videos | 3 Comments

Small Fry has been talking up a storm practically since she came out of the womb. Yeah, most of her verbal repertoire in those first few months involved screaming. And gurgling. And burping. But girlfriend LOVES to make noise.
She's been talking since I can't remember when, and her first word was the dog's name. Followed by cheese ("chee") and daddy. THEN mama. Yes, I'm #4.
We started writing all of her new words on a piece of paper stuck to the fridge, but we quickly ran out of space. I like to think that her chattiness has something to do with the fact that I've been talking to her since she was the size of a pea. I tend to talk, oh, I don't know, ALL THE TIME. And especially in those early, lonely days of new mamahood, I'd carry on conversations with Small Fry, speaking for the both of us.
Once she started to respond, I was all GAME ON.
She announces most everything she's doing, and asks everyone — anyone — "whatcha doing?" on a minute-by-minute basis. She asks hilarious questions and uses words I had no idea she knew. And that brain of hers soaks in everything she hears. This little fact stunned me, when in the car last month out of the blue, she asked me to play Beyonce because "Single Ladies" is her song. What?!
Also, I need to stop saying "crap" so much. And other stuff.
She's become quite the singer, too. After just one weekend with her grandmother, she learned all the words to this quirky song about "rings on my fingers, bells on my toes," and when she started singing it by herself out of the blue, it nearly made me cry. Her little singing voice is like puppies farting rainbows and cupcakes. It's that cute.
Small Fry struggles with certain "s" words, like spoon ("poon"), school ("cool") and squirrel ("curl"). My favorite is when she hollers after Marc's friend Scotty: "Cotty! Where aaaaare you? Watcha doing?"
Which is why this rendition of Itsy Bitsy Pider (up the water pout) will make your face hurt from all the smiling (added features: nose-picking, hand gestures and an insane ability to keep singing the song. And singing. And singing.)

The easiest was to refresh your wardrobe and instantly improve your appearance is to take your store bought goods to the tailor and make them appear to be bespoke garments. This can be an expensive process, but in most major cities there are dozens of alterations outfits and provided you don't require full reconstruction of a blazer, for example, the costs can be kept to a minimum.
First, start with the items that you wear regularly. The basics: your favorite pair of dark denim, chinos, a couple of oxford shirts and perhaps a sport coat. The goal is for the tapered pants that you purchased at the store to actually taper to your leg. Every person has a different shape, and while we approximate what fits well at the store, with a bit of tailoring every garment you wear can fit you perfectly. In the image below I am wearing a pair of chinos from Club Monaco (purchased for $13) and a button-up from H&M, a brand that rarely fits my frame well. The thing that makes this outfit look good isn't that the pieces are exceptional, it's a combination of color and fit. All told, including alterations, this outfit was had for under $40 (save for the shoes). I can now mix & match each piece with other articles in my wardrobe and know with confidence that the fit will be perfect on my imperfect & difficult to shop for body.

Intermediate Git
Merging vs Rebasing, Handy Efficiencies, and Getting out of a Jam
Git is key to many developers' workflows. Unfortunately, many developers only know enough to get by. Additionally, because Git does not have an obvious mental model or intuitively-named commands, developers often struggle, sometimes badly. Given how powerful Git is - and the tremendous abilities it offers to those who understand - this is sad! To address this, this class will cover merge vs rebase, three uses of rebase, setting up an external editor, and getting out of a jam: reflog, reset, and cherry-pick.
What you'll learn-and how you can apply it
- Learn the differences, advantages, and disadvantages of merge and rebase
- Intelligently converse on why you should choose merge or rebase
- Interactively rebase, i.e. squash commits
- Set up an external editor
- Rebase a local branch onto another local branch
- Update a local branch from a remote branch using rebase
- Move forward, backward, or sideways in time to get out of a jam or just to use Git to its full creative potential
This training course is for you because...
- You can navigate your local repo with ease (git add, git commit, git checkout, etc) but you aren't so sure about interacting with other repos.
- You want to be able to contribute to discussions on which workflow your team should use and/or how to tweak or improve your current workflow.
- You want to understand merge vs rebase.
- You want to become more efficient, faster.
- You want to become so good at Git that you don't even think about it anymore; it is after all, only a facilitative element.
- You want to know how to get yourself out of a jam.
- Must know the concept of a repo.
- Must know these basic Git commands: git add, git commit, git checkout, git branch, git fetch, git pull, git push.
- Must be comfortable using Git in command-line interface because we will not be using a graphical user interface.
- Must know a handful of basic command-line interface commands such as "cd".
Course Set-up: - Git should be installed - An IDE should be installed - This course is tailored for those on Macs. If on Windows, the concepts will still apply. - Set up your repo following these instructions: https://github.com/amandaol/gitClass/wiki
Recommended Preparation:

About your instructor
Amanda is a UI Engineer at Expedia who teaches herself best by teaching others. Besides the satisfaction she receives in helping others learn, there are many teachers in her family, so it definitely runs in the blood. Amanda's been in Web Development for 10+ years, particularly loves JavaScript, doesn't like when facilitative elements distract from the main endeavor (hence learning/conquering Git), and looks forward to meeting you!
The timeframes are only estimates and may vary according to how the class is progressing
Segment 1: Overview and Repo Setup Length 20 min
- Instructor will describe her personal motivation for learning/conquering these concepts and lay out what the class will cover, and will confirm everyone already has their repo setup for use during class. (Please setup before class begins!)
- Participants will (hopefully) be inspired to get into the content and will know the sequence of topics.
Segment 2: Merge Length 10 min - Instructor will present the model model behind merge. - Participants will understand what's happening "under the hood" when merging.
Segment 3: Rebase Length 30 min
- Instructor will present the model model behind rebase.
- Participants will understand what's happening "under the hood" when rebasing.
- Instructor will present the Golden Rule
Exercise: add a few commits, run git merge, run git rebase, compare
Segment 4: Rewriting History Length 10 min
- Instructor will present the primary controversy behind rebasing, step through it, put it in perspective, and encourage an entirely different and more healthy/significant perspective.
- Participants will learn lose any concern they had over rewriting history, will lose any moral sense about these things, and will instead recognize that Git is just a tool (not a matter of right and wrong) and recognize the significance of asking the "better question" which is "what story do you want master to tell?"
Segment 5: Three Uses of Rebase: Interactive Rebase + Efficiency: Set up an External Editor Length 25 min
- Instructor will present three uses of rebase, the first of which is an interactive rebase. Directly after this, instructor will demo this which will make it very clear why you would want to set up an external editor. This will be followed by setting up an external editor.
- Participants will learn the first of three uses of rebase plus an efficiency, that of setting up an external editor
Exercise: set up an external editor
Segment 6: Three Uses of Rebase: Local rebase Length 10 min
- Instructor describe/present and demo a local to local rebase.
- Participants will learn the second of three uses of rebase.
Exercise: local to local rebase
Segment 7: Three Uses of Rebase: Remote to local rebase Length 10 min
- Instructor describe/present and demo a remote to local rebase.
- Participants will learn the third of three uses of rebase.
Exercise: remote to local rebase
Segment 8: Full Life Cycle Incorporating Rebase Length 15 min
- Instructor will present a scenario where two of uses of rebase are used to achieve a particular goal in a given workflow, and will discuss her own daily workflow and use of rebase.
- Participants will observe that rebase and merge can be used together in the same workflow, will learn that multiple uses of rebase can be best, and will hopefully conclude that once a workflow is known it and should be very, very easy and reliable.
Exercise: try out all steps just described
Segment 9: How to Get Out of a Jam Length 25 min
- Instructor will present how to get out of a jam using reflog, reset, and cherry-pick
- Participants will lose any concern over losing committed work, will gain confidence in Git and will hopefully be encouraged to try out more things in their code knowing "Git has their back", and will learn how to get out of a jam.
Exercise: use git reflog, reset, and cherry-pick to move around in time in your repo

Tuesday, January 21, 2014
My last day of being 21.
I've always lived in the future. I remember being a little kid and thinking "when I'm 22 I'll be like this...." and list of all the things I wanted to be. Tomorrow on the 22nd of January, I turn 22 and I'm so different and so far off the person eight-year-old me wanted to be.
For years I just thought if I wanted it enough it would happen - that the universe would somehow hand it to me but lately I've realised that it was wishful thinking and that I have to take steps to make it happen.
One of my biggest dreams is to move back to Sydney - we left when I was 8 years old but it still feels like home. For some reason I haven't made it back there yet, but now I'm actively saving money so I can make my dream a reality in 2015. Another thing I really want to do is experience more things - I want to do typical things people to when they're in their twenties - I want to make mistakes, get my heart broken, find myself and so much more.
Here's to finally being 22.

Happy Birthday! I am so nervous to turn 20 in a few months. I can only imagine! 22 is a great year though i am sure. xxReplyDelete
I would love if you would also check out my blog: http://afashionneverland.blogspot.com/
Happy birthday!! I adore this post, I so agree. I felt like this when I got 21 last year, but just with a little more confusion I guess. I couldn't believe I 'already' turned 21 without having 'only' achieved this much. My attitude has changed a bit since then luckily, I'm trying to be less harsh to myself and like you: experience more things. Have a great year!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much Louise!Delete
Yeah I felt it at 21 too, even more than I do this year. But I was in a much worse place a year ago so my outlook was a lot more negative. I achieved so much in 2013 and I'm just so grateful that turning 22 I can honestly say I've changed and have a lot more direction in my life. It's a great feeling when you can be truly proud of yourself. :) x
Happy birthday,I think this is one of the best posts I have ever red!ReplyDelete
happy birthday! so sorry i missed it. and i think the person we want to be changes along the way. maybe you're not who you thought you'd be but maybe you're a lot more you. maybe? anyway, sydney would love to have you back. :)ReplyDelete
and your new layout looks lovely!Replies
Honestly don't worry about it :) I definitely think I'm becoming a lot more 'me' - probably because I have gotten rid of anyone who tries to tell me who I am is wrong or tries to turn me into someone else. It's weird though, I really did change so much last year.Delete
Thanks love <3 I'll be in Sydney soon (April, to be precise... for the John Mayer concert).
I appreciate every single comment and do my best to respond to every one. If you would like to connect further you can find me on twitter at @BeingErinBlog.

Paying greater attention to what we eat is something everyone needs to think about whether we have diabetes or not. There is SO much information on eating healthy food that it can be a bit overwhelming to sift through it all to work out just what our diet should be. There seems to be some consensus that it's important to eat a low fat, low GI diet with a balanced level of protein, fruit and vegetables and carbohydrates.
In addition, it's suggested that we add in the following:
- superfoods, such as goji berries, blueberries, soya beans and brazil nuts
- dried fruits, such as apricots and cranberries
- extra virgin olive oil
- smoothies made from fresh fruits and skimmed milk or yogurt.
- simple breakfasts of porridge, muesli or compote
- oily fish containing Omega 3, such as mackerel and sardines
You probably already have your own favorite foods, so try gradually incorporating some of these ideas into your daily or weekly menu.
A Journey of Discovery
When our child was first diagnosed with diabetes, we had to make some changes to our diet, which we did as a whole family.We've found that reading magazines, books and websites that encourage whole-food eating have helped us to find good recipes. We're constantly on the lookout for new ideas and the latest information on what's considered healthy. Discover more about what types of food we eat in the Carter house ! Read more about trying out a low GI diet in my diabetic blog for December.
