Discover the city of Santiago de Compostela at your own pace with a rental car. The SC-20 and N-550 are the two main roads linking the city with the wider region.
A one-way system is in place in parts of the historic center and other areas are pedestrianized so your best option is to park in one of the main parking lots that surround the old town. Parking Xoán XXIII is a short walk north of the Monasterio de San Martín Pinario and Parking San Clemente-Sanitago is also nearby.
While visiting enchanting Santiago de Compostela, discovering the region of Galicia is a must. Lush valleys, unspoilt coast and ancient fort-villages await.
Quaint Fisterra, a sleepy harbor town on the coast, is 80 minutes away via the AC-441. Drive here to experience the rugged capes and serene beaches of this part of the Spanish coast. A Guarda, close to the Portuguese border, is just under two hours away via the AP-9. While the restaurants are some of the best in the area, the real reason to come here is to take on Monte de Santa Trega, a dramatic peak boasting awesome vistas.
Lugo, an impressive walled city with a wealth of historical sights, is an hour-and-a-half from Santiago de Compostela along the AP-9 and A-6. Parque Natural Fragas do Eume offers ample hiking opportunities through magical woodlands. Follow the AP-9 north and you'll be there in an hour.
While in Spain you'll drive on the right-hand side of the road. There are two types of freeway here. Autovías, marked with an 'A', are free to use while autopistas are tolled and pre-fixed with 'AP'. The speed limit on these types of road is 120 km/h (74 mph), while the maximum in urban areas is 50 km/h (30 mph).
There's a unique magic to Santiago de Compostela – it's one of Spain's most beautiful cities. Fall under the spell of its intoxicating historic center when you explore the tangle of narrow granite streets, Romanesque stone churches and fantastic seafood restaurants.
The jewel in Santiagode Compostela's crown is undoubtedly its spectacular cathedral. Built between 1075 and 1211, it's an awe-inspiring sight, with its bell towers piercing the city skyline.
More than 3000,000 Camino pilgrims visit this Romanesque masterpiece each year – join them and marvel at the Gothic and Baroque architectural details added over the centuries from Praza do Obradoiro, the square that leads to the cathedral.
Inside, beneath the main altar, is a large 19th-century silver casket believed to hold the remains of the apostle Saint James. Another highlight to look out for is the outstandingly beautiful Pórtico de la Gloria inside the west entrance, which features 200 incredibly lifelike Romanesque sculptures of biblical figures.
Finish off your trip to Santiagode Compostela Cathedral with a rooftop tour. Get a glimpse of the cathedral's interior from a different perspective, learn about the church's history and enjoy unparalleled views of the city.
Dedicate an afternoon to exploring the city's top museums. Museo da Catedral is one of the best. Admire the beauty of the Renaissance cloister, see an impressive collection of religious art spanning the 13th to 18th centuries and wander a room full of colorful tapestries.
Learn more about St James and the pilgrimage itself at the fascinating Museo das Peregrinacións e de Santiago. To find out about Galician life, art and culture head to the Museo do Pobo Gallego.
Soak up more of the city's history by exploring the streets. A warren of tight passageways lead you from lively squares to centuries-old churches, with stone arcades to see along the way. Stop off at Praza de Fonseca, one of the prettiest squares in Santiagode Compostela, and take it all in from a table at one of the cafes.
While the city is a famous pilgrimage spot, it's a foodie haven, too. Galician octopus (pulpo) is the star of the show, featuring heavily on menus around Santiagode Compostela.
For a truly authentic experience you should try pulpo á feira, cooked with bay leaves, olive oil and paprika and served on a wooden plate with hunks of bread to dip in the oil. Restaurante dos Reis is one of the best places to sample it and offers a spectacular setting to enjoy your feast.
Mercado de Abastos, the city's central market, is the perfect place to pick up some local produce. Listen to vendors peddling their wares and wander stalls piled high with Padrón peppers, artisan cheese and tarta de Santiago – the city's famous almond sponge cake.
Snap up some freshly baked bread, slices of Spanish tortilla and cured meats or stop by one of the cafes lining the market to sample some of the moreish fare on the menu.
Car rental in Santiago de Compostela allows you to see the best of the city and the rest of this unique part of north-west Spain.

text: Choosing to avoid the gift opening portion of the bridal shower has become increasingly popular nowadays. While it is nice to acknowledge each persons' gift to you so they can witness your reaction, you don't have to. Not many people even want to sit through two hours of you tearing at boxes and gift bags. Your grandma or mom might give you a hard time about it, but if it's not your thing, all you have to do is include "Be a dear and wrap in clear!" on your shower invitations. This way all your gifts can be displayed in a dedicated area for people to look at!

Cell phones are nearly reaching the point of necessity. The L16's lens array, a mixture of 28mm, 70mm, and 150mm modules, is chargeable for shifting the camera's mirrors when the photographer is making an attempt to zoom. Our telephones have taken on the position of level-and-shoot cameras and mirrorless choices are increasingly closing the hole with skilled-stage DSLRs.
While one would possibly argue that that is merely an approach to releasing cameras earlier than they're carried out, you'll be able to guarantee that the camera you purchased will acquire some additional functionality over time. You'll be able to positively click stunning photographs with your level-and-shoot camera and your primary smartphone, but if you'd like that depth and feel to be seen in your photograph, a DSLR camera is a should.
A ciné camera or film camera takes a speedy sequence of photographs on picture sensor or strips of film. We check, evaluate, and compare the latest digital cameras to avoid wasting you money and time. Regardless of materials, some process have to be employed to render the latent picture captured by the camera right into a viewable image.
If you wish to shoot pictures of an expert quality on a budget, then DSLR is the way to go. Picking the best camera for vlogging is a bit more involved than wanting on the video specs of a variety of cameras, as there are a selection of other concerns to take into account.
Images from the Reside Camera are captured every 3 minutes and stiched together to provide a full day's timelapse video. Notice that preview display of entrance-dealing with cameras is flipped horizontally earlier than the rotation, that is, the image is reflected alongside the central vertical axis of the camera sensor.

The crisis in Japan started on March 11, 2011, after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake. Soon after the earthquake, a Tsunami hit Japan. Japan has now been suffering from many difficulties. The new issue the Japanese face is shortages and food safety. The Japanese are concerned about their tap water safety and produce that could be tainted by radiation. A few days ago, Japanese officials warned the public about radiation in tap water, and the public was advised to not give tap water to infants. Because of the fear of radiation poisoning, stores in many communities in Japan are running out of bottled water, milk, and food supplies. So what does this mean for the rest of the world who imports food from Japan? Many countries (Australia, Russia, U.S., Canada, etc.) are no longer accepting imported food from Japan because of a radioactive steam leak that occurred. Japanese officials are doing all they can to monitor food safety, but they can only do so much when radioactivity is involved.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Preston North End match preview and betting tips
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Preston North End face each other in a meaningless end-of season clash at Molineux this weekend.
Bet £10 on Wolverhampton Wanderers v Preston North End and get £30 Free with a new Ladbrokes account
Neither Wolves nor Preston North End have stood-out in the slightest in this season's Championship. Yes they have each enjoyed some notable wins along the way but in reality they were never realistically going to threaten the play-off places.
Indeed both sides are set for another mediocre mid-table finish to the campaign. At least they aren't embroiled in any relegation battle. Wolverhampton Wanderers were at one point dangerously close to the drop zone but an excellent five-game winning run in late March and early April lifted them clear of the bottom three at a crucial stage of the season.
For their part, Preston North End have been very much a mixed bag since the start of the campaign although they have enjoyed some stand-out wins over the likes of Brighton & Hove Albion, Brentford and Reading in recent months. In all reality they were never really expected to feature in the play-off positions at this late stage of proceedings and they too will be looking forward to finishing their season with a flourish.
Who, if anyone will come out on top on Saturday afternoon? Like most other Championship games this weekend, this is very much a dead-rubber of a match. Wolves aren't embroiled in a relegation battle or a fight for a play-off place. Neither are Preston North End. The Lilywhites have been putting in some pretty meagre performances of late with just a single point collected from their last five Championship games, while Wolves haven't been much better with just one victory in their last six outings.
Will there be a winner at Molineux this weekend? We don't believe that there will be. On paper, these sides are pretty evenly matched and whilst a win would be nice, it won't make any much of a difference to their respective league standings, therefore a share of the spoils is the best that we can hope for in the West Midlands on Saturday afternoon.
Our tip:Back Wolves v Preston to end in a draw at 5/2 with Boylesports.

Apricot tree
I've got an apricot tree in my garden. It's been fruiting a lot for years but this year I cannot see any blooms. That's so weird cause last year I picked up about 300 or 400 apricot fruit.
The only point is that last winter was so cold and snowy but this winter was like spring. I mean warmer than usual. Can you tell me what the reasons could be?
Thanks in advance
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Most fruit trees need a good amount of cold winter weather to end their dormancy and to promote spring growth. Spring growth and flowering is delayed and irregular after a mild winter. So, this might just be a matter of waiting things out after your spring-like winter.

"What If Marvel Threw a Superhero Party and Everyone Came?" That opening tongue-in-cheek question by Variety Magazine movie reviewer Owen Gleiberman aptly describes the 19th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Avengers: Infinity War brings to the screen "the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe."
Is it "a movie that the American Entertainment State had to get out of its system?" Is it "a jumbled, top-heavy mess of cynical franchise overkill?" Some may say so, but Gleiberman at Variety claims that this "knowingly overstuffed Marvel mashup turns out to be bedazzling fun, despite the fact that this many superheroes means they're all less special."
Super Feats at the Box Office
Movie critics can cast aspersions, but fans cast their votes in droves. By May 13, 2018, Infinity War passed the $1 billion mark in the international market, becoming the fifth largest global release of all time. The May 22, 2018 domestic total stood at $601,381,683. That marks Infinity War as the eighth movie to cross $600 million domestic level since Titanic over 20 years ago, and the fifth to do so in just the last three years. This means Infinity War is now the seventh-biggest domestic grosser in its initial theatrical run, the third-biggest (behind Force Awakens and Avatar) worldwide.
Other notable box office records:
- Biggest 'Pure Friday' Gross – Infinity War earned $66.967 million on the first Friday (4/27/18).
- Biggest Saturday Gross – Infinity War wins again with $83 million (4/28/2018).
- Biggest Sunday Gross – Infinity War even celebrated a $69 million Sunday (4/29/2018).
- Biggest Domestic Opening – With approximately $258 million, Avengers: Infinity Warwas the biggest film opening in North American history.
- Biggest Worldwide Debut – Infinity War earned $640 million worldwide.
So, what makes a movie earn this kind of money? What has this kind of appeal even across different cultures? The short answer is, talent before and behind the screen.
Feats in Production that Earned Box Office Feats
It's true that talent goes where the money is, and also that money follows talent. Invest talent and hard work into a venture, and the payoff is usually quite satisfactory. Such is the case with Infinity War. While the investments were significant, the rewards are rich, indeed.
According to The Observer website, Infinity War is the fourth most expensive movie ever produced at approximately $300 million. This is behind two Pirates of the Caribbean installments and Justice League. Infinity War co-director Joe Russo shared with Sway's Universe that the daily cost of production sometimes passed $450,000. Shooting stretched from January to January with only two weeks off.
Animation Feats
Co-director Joe Russo also shared, "The VFX are incredibly expensive on a movie like this, well into the hundreds of millions. So between those two (salaries and VFX), those are the largest categories that take most of the money." No doubt this was because Infinity War took CGI to a complex new level and achieved outstanding VFX quality.
Actor Josh Brolin was required to undergo a series of detailed facial scans, recording complex expressions, in order for his character, Thanos, to display the most life-like facial expressions ever created by CGI. Jan Philip Cramer, Head of Animation at special-effects firm Digital Domain and Animation Director for Infinity War, and his team took precise measurements of every possible way Brolin's face could move. Then, his anatomical structure was used to create Thanos' face, allowing for a more life-like portrayal of the character than has ever before been attempted.
Phil Cramer's 12-year innovative career includes some of the most highest-grossing films ever made, including Avatar, Ghost Rider, Spider Man 3, Deadpool, The A-Team, Independence Day: Resurgence, and Spider Man: Homecoming. His high-profile work spans tenures at Sony Imageworks, Weta Digital, and now Digital Domain where he serves as Director of Animation. Phil's experience launches from his time spent at Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. He holds a B.F.A. from the Academy's School of Animation & Visual Effects and has also been awarded their Emerging Artist Alumni Award.
Phil was fascinated as a boy with the visual effects in the original Jurassic Park (1993). "When I was around 9 or 10, I decided that there were only two options for my life—I'd either create my own dinosaurs in movies or become a paleontologist," Phil shared. "I didn't want to take part in [outdoor] activities. I wanted to think and dream about things. I've always envisioned working somewhere I could create worlds and allow my fantasies to come to life."
Academy of Art University proved to be just such a place for Phil to move from Dusseldorf, Germany and embark on the makings of a great career. "The Academy put a lot of effort into showcasing the [Animation] program, and it looked like they were passionate about it," Phil shared in a recent interview. "They have the knowledge, connections and successful industry professionals teaching classes."
Acting Feats
Lead actor Robert Downey, Jr. is the obvious draw for the entire franchise, as for the last several installments. As such, his salary is formidable, leading co-director Anthony Russo to joke that much of the production costs were funneled into Downey's pay. This is partly true with Downey reportedly drawing a $50 million tag for Infinity War.
Other notable talent includes Chris Hemsworth, Elizabeth Olsen, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Josh Brolin, a cameo by Samuel L. Jackson, and the voice talents of Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel. This kind of skill onscreen doesn't come cheap, with most of these pulling in a few million each.

Nexus 6 Gets Listed On Flipkart As "Coming Soon", Pricing Isn't Available Just Yet
Google has announced company's newest Nexus devices alongside Android 5.0 Lollipop earlier this month. Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player all got announce by this tech giant. Nexus 6 is a huge and beastly device and in comparison to last year's smartphone, this phablet is priced way higher but it also brings top of the line specifications, more on that later though. Nexus 6 just popped up on Indian retailer Flipkart and is listed as "coming soon", we're talking about a 32GB version of the phone here. It's interesting that Nexus 6 popped up on Flipkart before Google Play in India got the chance to list it, could this mean that Flipkart will get the Nexus 6 exclusive maybe? I personally still believe Google will list the device in the Google Play Store as well and make it possible for Indian consumers to get their hands on the device that way as well. Nexus 6 was sold out in US within minutes after it was made available for pre-order, though we're used to seeing that when it comes to Nexus devices. Anyhow, don't expect Nexus 6 to go on sale in India soon, I believe that it will take some time until it is made available over there. Nexus 9 could launch in India much sooner though, mid-November is a safe guess I believe. The tablet will cost INR 28.900.
Motorola Nexus 6 is featuring a 5.9-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) AMOLED display along with 3GB of RAM for all your multitasking needs and 32 or 64GB of internal storage, depending on which model you get of course. On the back of this beastly phablet you'll find a 13-megapixel shooter flanked by a dual-LED flash while there's a 2-megapixel shooter up front. This handset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor clocked at 2.7GHz which comes with an Adreno 420 GPU, Google decided to use a truly high-end processor this time around. The device also ships with Google's latest Android 5.0 Lollipop offering, of course, and it packs a 3220mAh battery on the inside. The device measures 159.3 x 83 x 10.1mm while it weighs 184 grams. Let's hear it, how many of you plan to get the Nexus 6?

Great Games to Play at Your Bridal Shower
A bridal shower is the perfect prelude to your wedding, a celebration of your final days as a single woman. If your wedding is already planned–including catering, the Melbourne wedding venue, the entertainment, etc.–it's time to kick back and enjoy your bridal shower!
Here are a few fun games you can play at your bachelorette party:
- Forbidden Words — At the beginning of the night, hand out a decorative pin to each member of the bachelorette party. Throughout the night, if anyone says the forbidden words–"church", "wedding", "marriage", "bride", "(groom's name)", etc.–you are allowed to steal their pin. The person who has the most pins at the end of the night wins a prize.
- Ribbon Bouquet –– There will no doubt be many presents given to the future bride at the bridal shower, and the bride can collect all of the ribbondos from the myriad presents. Once they have collected the ribbons, they can make a ribbon bouquet to carry at the wedding ceremony.
- "What She Said" –– Want to have a bit of harmless fun at the bride's expense? As she is opening the bridal shower presents, have someone write down all of the comments she makes. At the end of the night, read them aloud to get people laughing.
- Shower Gift Bingo –– Hand guests cards with a blank 5×5 grid. Have them each fill out the grid with items they think the bride will receive as gifts during the bridal shower. As she goes opening the gifts, everyone has to mark off the gifts received. The first one to get five in a row–vertically, diagonally, or horizontally–wins a prize.
- Wedding Pictionary –– Who doesn't love a good game of Pictionary? Use wedding-related words, and have your guests draw for the others to guess.
- Wedding Dictionary — Look up old-fashioned or outdated wedding terms, and use them as the basis of a game of Dictionary. In this game, everyone is given a word that they are unfamiliar with, and they have to write what they think the definition is. You'll find that it's a whole lot of fun, especially after a few cocktails!
- Marriage Recipes –– Have all of the guests write down what they believe to be a good "recipe for marriage" to be, but without signing their name to the card. The bride needs to read the recipes aloud and try to guess who wrote which.
- Bridal Shower Photo Album –– Have all of the guests take a selfie with the bride, and use those pictures to make a beautiful photo album recording the night's fun. Or, you can have each of the guests bring a selfie or a picture with the bride, and tell the story behind the photo as they insert it into the empty photo album.
Your bridal shower should be fun and relaxing, so let Red Scooter do the work of organising and hosting the event for you. With our help, it will be a night to remember!

1) Whisk coconut milk and water together until smooth. Set aside.
2) Wash the rice in three to four changes of water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
3) In a medium saucepan, warm ghee over medium heat until shimmering. Add the cinnamon stick and cardamom pod and cook for a few seconds, until fragrant.
4) Now add the drained rice, stirring gently until any water on the grains has evaporated and the grains start to sizzle and snap a little at you. The rice should also give off a lovely, toasty aroma at this point.
5) Pour in the coconut milk-water mixture and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir well, bring to a boil, then cover, turn down heat to low, and cook 12-15 minutes.
6) Remove from heat. Pull the lid off and lay a clean kitchen towel over the saucepan and cover again with the lid. Let the rice gently steam for 5 minutes (this is the secret to fluffy rice!). Serve, pulling out whole spices (cinnamon and cardamom) if you wish.

Spicy Ranch Goldfish Snack Mix
This Spicy Ranch Goldfish Snack Mix is crunchy, savory and a cinch to make. It's perfect for a party, football watching, movie night, or any night!
Goldfish Snack Mix — those words evoke a party, don't they?! We had our first party here at the new house this past weekend. It was too hot to be outside, so we had 18 adults and 10 little ones all inside, and you know what? I didn't stress about it. Not one bit.
I didn't turn into psycho Cheryl like I usually do when we entertain. I channeled my inner Sandy and Kristen and kept myself pretty laid back about the whole thing. Did I make ALL of the food? heck no, I made my lasagna and Amber's Creamed Corn (that was AMAZING). Steve grilled some burgers and chicken early in the day and let them simmer in a pan of BBQ sauce until the party. My mom brought cheese potatoes and baked beans, and a few others brought desserts, and I picked up some cookies and cupcakes from the grocery store. I put out a few bowls of chips and popcorn and made a large batch of the most delicious Spicy Ranch Goldfish Snack Mix.
A simple menu that made it very stress free and allowed time to just enjoy our company!
I usually make Ranch and Dill Oyster Crackers for a party, and I thought about making the homemade Ranch Cheese Crackers, but I wanted to try something different that I could make really quick.
There are tons of snack mixes out there. We are big fans of Goldfish crackers. This snack mix is flavored with Ranch dressing mix, dill weed and a bit of Worcestershire, with some pecan halves thrown in for a little change. It's incredibly addictive, and makes plenty for a large crowds or party, but could also be easily halved or doubled to suit your needs. You can also use any combination of Goldfish crackers and the mix will be every bit as tasty!
Spicy Ranch Goldfish Snack Mix is perfect for all of your snacking needs!
Spicy Ranch Goldfish Snack Mix
- 2 (6.6 ounce) bags plain Goldfish crackers
- 2 (6.6 ounce) bags cheddar Goldfish crackers
- 1½ cups pecan halves
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 4 tablespoons Ranch dressing mix
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Preheat oven to 250° F
- Combine crackers and pecans in a large bowl.
- Mix melted butter with Ranch dressing mix, dill weed and Worcestershire sauce, and pour over crackers and nuts. Using a wooden spoon, gently stir to coat.
- Pour snack mix onto parchment lined large roasting pan or baking sheet.
- Place pan in center of oven and bake for one hour, carefully stir mix every 15 minutes while baking.
- Cool completely before serving.
feel free to use any combination of flavors of goldfish crackers - just be sure to use 4 (6.6 ounce) bags total.

Give the Reef a fighting chance
Australia's beautiful Great Barrier Reef is in a state of emergency. As much as half of the Reef may be dead following back to back bleaching events in recent years.
In the midst of this tragedy, the Prime Minister Scott Morrison is continuing to show interest in investing in the dirty coal industry. Please give now to help stop the destruction of our Reef.
I would like to give:
Your generous one-time gift helps fund our campaign.
Your account will be debited today, then every subsequent 4 weeks. Do get in touch if you want to arrange an alternative date to suit you.
Could help provide tool-kits for our networks of climate activists around Australia.
Could help fund our campaign to stop Scott Morrison government investing in fossil fuel projects.
Could help put photographers in the Reef to capture evidence of the mass bleaching.
Your ongoing support is the most effective way to contribute by helping us with long term campaign goals.
Together we can stop the destruction of the Reef
We need to end coal to protect the Reef
The Great Barrier Reef has been experiencing the worst bleaching event of its history, turning the colored corals into ghostly white. This phenomenon occurs when the ocean stays at higher than normal temperatures, causing the corals to expel the algae, zooxanthellae, that live on them. Losing this algae puts stress on the coral and causes it to turn completely white. While it is possible for coral to recover from a bleaching event, the severity and length of the bleaching determines whether the coral will recover or die. It is estimated that up to 50% of the currently bleached coral will die.
As the globe continues to warm and ocean temperatures increase, bleaching events like this will become more frequent and could occur annually as soon as 2030.
Why is the coral bleaching?
The coal industry's three big threats that could devastate The Great Barrier Reef:
How the coal industry could impact the Reef
The water used in coal, transport and mining could become contaminated, thick and cloudy, potentially and ending up in the reef.
Toxins aside, cloudy water would block sunlight, preventing algae from making food through photosynthesis.
The dredging of the reef floor to create routes for coal ships in this area would destroy part of the reef bed.
The greenhouse gases generated by burning coal warms the ocean. A warmer ocean increases the likelihood of coral bleaching events. High concentrations of Carbon Dioxide in the air is absorbed by the ocean and acidifies it, harming sea life including the Reef.
Why the Reef is so special
It also survived the last glacial periods but may disappear just in 40 years, because of human activities and our contribution towards global warming.
It is over 20 millions years old
More than 1500 different species of fish live in the Great Barrier Reef, which represents 10% of the worlds fish species.
It is a natural biological bank
Actually composed of 2900 individual reefs, it is as big as Tasmania and Victoria combined. That makes it the world's largest living structure. Because of this, the Reef gained the world heritage status in 1981.
It is the largest coral reef system in the world

Everyone has a dream car, a ride that has everything they want and more. You could have conjured up your dream car weeks before you got your licence, or after you got your first pay cheque. You could have passed by a car in real life and thought you might want one for yourself or browsed online before finding a model you like. A dream car holds no limitations and no restrictions; fantasies are free after all.
The problem is in deciding whether you should get that dream car in real life. That is where the limitations come in; you need to factor in your finances, your environment, and so much more. It all boils down to the question: is it worth it? Can you have it? There are four different ways for you to find your dream car.
1.You can buy it brand-new
The first is to buy it straight from the source. When you find yourself in a financial situation that allows you to splurge, why hold yourself back? There is a direct feeling of satisfaction when you buy your dream car as a brand-new model. For a first-time purchase, it can be a testament to all your hard work and effort.
2.You can buy it pre-loved
The second way to purchase your dream car is going through second-hand dealers or individual sellers online. Buying second-hand has several appealing factors. If your dream car is from within the last decade, you can purchase it at a significantly lower price. If your dream car is vintage, in which case it may not be as cheap as the latter, a used car will run better than a brand-new model sitting in some collector's home.
When purchasing a pre-loved car, make sure to find a reputable reseller and personally inspect the unit before the sale. You do not want to end up overpaying for an item, or worse being flat-out scammed.
3.You can lease it
The third option is to lease it, which mostly applies to newer models. You can find different car dealerships in your local neighbourhood or go online to sites like https://www.genusleasing.com and browse through their catalogue. Leasing a car means owning a model for a fixed amount of time before returning it and upgrading.
Leasing a dream car might seem strange, but it isn't such a weird solution. It leaves space for you to change your mind to bigger and better models.
That is the best way to have your dream car without any regrets of purchasing too early.
4.You can pay the difference
The fourth option is a mixture of the first and the third option. When you lease a car, it may not always be brand new. If you like the car more than you initially thought, you can buy it by paying the difference.
These four ways account for different kinds of financial situations with varying degrees of commitment. Buying your dream car doesn't have to be so far-fetched when you stop restricting yourself to buying it new. After you consider your situation and select one of the four routes, you could be driving your dream car home.

New 520-hp 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Raises the Road-Legal 911 BarPosted by: TractionLife.com onFebruary 23rd, 2018
New 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS sports the most powerful naturally aspirated engine in a road-legal 911 ever
Leave it to Porsche to take the already capable, high-performance 911 GT3 and make it insanely better with new 911 GT3 RS, making its official debut at the upcoming 88th Geneva Motor Show.
This 520-hp RS rocket marks the company's third GT road-approved sports car within a year, coming off the heels of the 911 GT3 and 911 GT3 R2.
But right now, this latest rendition takes the cake, producing 20-hp more than its 911 GT3 sibling, sprinting 0 to 100 km/h in 3.0-seconds (that's 0.2 seconds quicker than the current 911 GT3 with PDK and 0.1 seconds quicker than the previous 911 GT3 RS) powered by a 4L six-cylinder engine, and hitting a top speed of 312 km/h. All naturally-aspirated, all naturally awesome.

The first time I visited Cuba, I was just three years old. A young man named Fidel Castro had just graduated from college with a degree in law. Carlos Prío was president of a corrupt Cuban government. Bautista had not yet taken power. Even though I was a small child at the time, I still have some vivid memories of the Cuba of 1950, the narrow streets, the open stores and markets with meat hanging overhead, the sandy beach and a friendly police officer who carried me on his shoulders. This early experience in Cuba undoubtedly had a great impact on my lifelong love and intrigue with this beautiful Caribbean island.
Less than twenty years later, I had embarked on a career as a news reporter, writer and broadcaster. Thanks to the acrimonious relations between the United States and Fidel's communist Cuba, I could no longer visit the island. Propagandists on both sides of the fence painted lurid pictures of their evil neighbors ninety miles away. As a reporter, I learned pure, unbiased, objective reporting was sometimes a noble goal, but was impossible to obtain. As often as not, it wasn't even the goal. The news was and continues to be distorted with intent by the government, corporate sponsors and biased news reporters. I can guarantee you that our views of Cuba, the embargo and the people of Cuba are colored by the lenses we're forced to look through as we try to interpret the island that has been taboo to Americans for more than fifty years.
When I recently had an opportunity to spend two weeks as a professional photographer in Cuba, I lunged at the chance. I wanted to see for myself rather than through the eyes of the propagandists, what life in Cuba was really like. I wanted to meet the people, see life from their perspective. In a word, I wanted to know the "truth" about Cuba.
In my mind, I harbored many questions. I received answers to most, if not all of them. The biggest question of all was "Has Cuban communism failed or has it succeeded?"
The trip was immensely delightful, fun, educational and fulfilling. I would love to go back and spend even more time exploring this beautiful country. Let me share some of my observations and you can judge Cuban communism yourself.
Havana is falling apart. The magnificent old buildings which stood as monuments to free enterprise before Castro are literally falling down. The money just isn't there to repair and maintain the majority of the structures. Those still standing have people living in apartments that would be condemned in this country. Safety concerns in many cases are luxuries not affordable to the common Cuban. As a result of the shortages of good housing, families live together across many generations. It's not uncommon to see four generations living under one roof.
Many commodities Americans take for granted are in short supply if available at all. Every Cuban citizen has a ration book. Each person is allotted four eggs per month. Soaps are rationed. Chicken, fuels, vegetables, bread, rice and many other staples are rationed such that everyone has the basic necessities guaranteed at extremely low prices. When the month's rations have been consumed, Cubans can purchase many items on the streets, but now the free market takes over. For items in short supply, demand drives prices skyward and out of the reach of most Cubans. I found an avocado for $8.00, a bit pricy when considering a typical Cuban might earn $10 per day.
Since replacing his brother Fidel, Raul Castro has taken steps to liberalize Cuba's restrictions on free enterprise. Most Cubans celebrate what they perceive as progress while silently wishing he would move a little faster. Cubans can now operate restaurants out of homes (paladares). They can buy and sell homes, cars and engage in other activities we take for granted. As they lurch toward a more open economic system, the rules of free enterprise come into play. Shortages cause high prices. A nice meal in one of the better paladares may cost as much or more than a similar meal in a fine restaurant in New York or Los Angeles.
The images of the streets of Havana being filled with the cars of the 50's is, if anything, understated. They are everywhere. It is a testament to the ingenuity of the people of Cuba that these vehicles are so well maintained and operating. I saw some that could have easily just been driven off the showroom floor. In the United States, this would have been a magnificent antique car show. In Havana, it was just another day in paradise.
In a nutshell, Havana is a city crumbling to the ground with people living with chronic shortages and trying to survive by keeping old, outdated machines of every ilk as their tools of commerce. If you judge the success of Cuban economic policies on these observations, you would have to conclude Cuban communism or socialism has failed dismally. However, I must continue with a few more casual observations of the Cuba of 2011.
Unlike the buildings of Havana, the Cuban people are not crumbling and falling apart. By and large, they are a happy, outgoing, friendly and welcoming people. They seem to have a zest for life lacked by many Americans. While we're spending all our time working so we can buy happiness, many Cubans understand the power to be happy rests within us, not in the size of our toys. Smiles are not rationed in Cuba; they are in a state of persistent over supply.
Based on my personal observations, Cubans are very well educated. The government has historically given education an extremely high priority. In the early years of the Castro regime, it was felt that a lack of educational opportunities kept the poor in their persistent state of poverty. After spending time in Cuba fifty years later, I'm not sure they didn't go too far. With everyone well educated, it looks like they have difficulty finding hands to do the menial work. When Castro took power, much of the Cuban people's lives were tied to working in the cane fields. Now, they have all the managers they need, but too few to do the actual work. There may be an interesting lesson here for our own country. No child left behind? Who's going to do the work?
I've seen many studies saying that despite its economic hard times, Cuba has a medical system that rivals, if not surpasses, the system we have in this country. One person in our group needed emergency medical treatment and was stunned at the high level of care he received. It was also done at a fraction of the cost it would have required in the United States. One of my most interesting discussions took place in a park in Havana where I sat on a bench taking in the sights. I was approached by a married couple who struck up a conversation after they realized I was American. It turned out they were both medical doctors whose jobs were to roam the streets providing medical care and attention to anyone in need. I play hell in this country getting an appointment with my doctor while in Cuba, the doctors are looking for me.
I found that crime in Cuba was nearly non-existent when compared to crime levels in American cities of equal size. People were less aggressive. Chance meetings on the streets were pleasant and friendly. If a car horn was heard, it was never accompanied by the presentation of the middle finger like it often is here. Homelessness was nearly non-existent. The street people found in our cities weren't to be found there. They were taken in and cared for by the state. Thanks to the rationing programs, no one was starving. The people generally appeared to be healthy. The level of obesity was far, far less than in American cities. We could learn a lot from the Cubans if we were allowed to go there freely, but in this – the land of the free – we are not permitted to do so.
A visit to Cuba is an awakening. Has Cuban communism failed? In its purest, most extreme form, it is apparent to everyone from Raul Castro to the man on the street that it doesn't work. That is why Raul is making changes. It has clearly failed in the eyes of people such as the Bacardi family, the world's largest makers of rum. They still proclaim their anger over the loss of $77 million worth of assets and access to the near slave labor they enjoyed when their headquarters were in Havana before Castro. Ask them and you'll know the communists destroyed Cuba.
But ask the poverty stricken laborers that earned pissy wages harvesting and working the cane fields for Bacardi for three months out of the year while they fought hunger and starvation for the other nine. Now, they get education, medical care and a ration book that assures them enough food to survive. For them, life is infinitely better. For them, Cuban communism gave life. Ask them if it has been a failure.
One final observation is in order and that involves the fifty year, three generation embargo of the island neighbor that continues to this day. On many counts, it is the most asinine policy we could ever dream of implementing. It punishes 11 million innocent people, people that welcome and embrace the American people. They know it is not us that is the enemy; it is a special interest within our government. While we rail against the terrorists in the world, we perpetrate a fifty year act of economic terrorism that has been counter-productive to our own interest. In the early years of the embargo, we left Castro with no choice but to turn to Russia for aid and support. Now Cuba seeks stronger economic ties with China. They do this not to spite us; they do it to survive because we won't help. This seems to be a supreme act of foolishness on our part.
At a time when our economy is suffering, unemployment is rampant and we see dark clouds on the economic horizon, we cut our own throats with the embargo. We deny American businesses the right to market and sell their goods to an 11 million person market in their own backyard. It challenges me to come up with a tactful adjective to describe the incredible foolishness of this approach to Cuba. The time to end the embargo is long overdue, not just for the sake of the innocent Cuban people suffering shortages of medicine and other goods, but for our own sakes. If we truly want to spread freedom around the world, maybe we should start at home.

I. SOURCE analysis:
Fan is divided into axial flow type, centrifugal type, mixed flow type and other models. Widely used in industrial and mining enterprises, civil building wall ventilation, job supply wind, pipe ventilation, roof ventilated, in the chemical industry, light industry, food, medicine, metallurgy, power plants and other industries and civil buildings in a large number of use.
Its noise is mainly aerodynamic noise, in which the noise of centrifugal blower is mainly low frequency, and it decreases with the increase of frequency.
Noise control is divided into sound source governance and transmission path governance. The former mainly on the fan impeller, Blade, shell, supporting structure and materials used to improve, in order to reduce the fan's own noise, the latter mainly using muffler, sound insulation cover, sound-absorbing wall and other noise control products from the fan noise transmission path to control the blower noise.
Second, noise control measures:
1. Installing the muffler on the inlet and outlet pipe of blower
2, in the fan unit plus the sound insulation cover
3. Adopt the comprehensive control measures of the fan room.
If there is a special fan room, it can be combined with the scene of the fan housing reform caused by sound insulation between the noise reduction method, that is, the wind machine unit closed in the room to make its noises, so the noise in the room is large, but the outside noise is much smaller. Seal the room to set into, exhaust air system, while equipped with muffler devices, for the ventilator suction and motor, casing and other cooling needs.
When the noise control requirements are high, the mechanical noise, vibration and electromagnetic noise of the unit can be comprehensively integrated with the measures of vibration reduction, base vibration isolation, sound absorption and sound insulation, in order to obtain satisfactory noise reduction effect.

Is it possible to get a Windows 7 driver for this Citizen printer? If yes, where can I download it. I have searched the net without success.
The Citizen 200GX is a very old printer and I very much doubt that a driver was ever specifically written for Windows 7. This printer is probably similar to an old Epson printer. Remember that if this is a 64 bit OS that all drivers must be 64 bit and they must be signed.
I am aware of that I am running a 64-bit OS (Windows 7 Ultimate). However, given that you can run Windows XP mode with Windows Virtual PC on a Windows 7 PC, is there anyone who could then provide me with a Windows XP printer driver for the Citizen 200GX or a link to where I could download one? My understanding of running Virtual PC would allow me to use the old Citizen 200GX printer in the Windows XP mode. I have done a search for the driver on the net without success.
I can't vouch for the site but a Google for that printer turned up this hit.
Are you running it off a parallel port?
I have a new pc which has Windows 7 Ultimate as the OS and hope to use my Citizen 200GX printer by hooking it up to a usb port. I've had to buy a usb-centronix cable to do this as I don't have a parallel/serial ports in my new pc.
I found the same link at DriverFiles.net as you inserted above in a Google search for my Citizen 200GX printer driver. However, I am not convinced a Windows 7 driver is available for the Citizen 200GX dot matrix printer despite what appears on the DriverFiles.net web page. I say this because when I click on the Windows Update and go through the Add Printer process in Control Panel it doesn't add the Citizen 200GX.
Also, I did a test on my old Windows 98SE pc with a Citizen GSX-190 printer driver (which Windows 7 has a driver available). This worked fine on my old pc but on my new Windows 7 pc when running the same colour report that I want to print out, the formatting is out of alignment. Also, there is no Custom paper size option available to select in the Windows 7 Citizen GSX-190 printer driver.
I don't really want to have to register and then pay for the DriverCure software if it doesn't have a Windows 7 driver for the Citizen 200GX printer.
However, I will e-mail them on their forum to clarify this.
I just dug out the manual for an old Citizen GSX.145 wide carraige dot matrix printer. Been years since I used it for anything but had recalled something about emulation. The 145 has built in emulation for Epson LQ and some IBM printers.
I suggest you consult the manual, if you have one to see if the GSX-190 has similar settings.
Dot matrix printers are still widely in use to print multi-copy forms in the business world. Your printer may be able to emulate a more popular Panasonic, Epson LQ series or an IBM. One that does have a Windows 7 driver available.
Below is a link to what appears to be a digital copy of your manual, if you don't have one. Again, I can't vouch for the site or know if there is a fee involved.
Thanks for the link to the GSX-190 electronic manual.
I had previously read the 200GX manual and saw that it emulates the same printers that the GSX-190 does i.e. Epson FX-850 and the IBM Proprinter III.
On my Windows 7 pc I have addressed the formatting issue when using the GSX-190 printer driver by changing the font to Courier New (I was previously using a Courier 20cpi font) and now the report looks fine on the screen BUT now I can't print the report from my new Win 7 pc. The job stays in the print queue but doesn't print. So it seems that this is a Windows 7 OS issue given that this is a 64-bit OS compared with the 32-bit Windows 98 OS.
Any suggestions on how to print now?
Not really
What version of Windows 7 are you running? If you have ultimate or professional you can install Virtual PC and a special version of WinXP to run inside Virtual PC. That may allow you to run the printer that way.
Adapters are always hit and miss.
A simpler solution would be to install a PCI (slot) based parallel card to run the printer as it was intended. Look at the link below for some samples. Newegg.com is an excellent online vendor if you are in the USA. Read the reviews and specs before buying.
I have finally resolved this issue. When using the USB to parallel adapter, I forgot to change my printer port from LPT1: to USB001. This has fixed my printing probelms.
Thanks for all helpful suggestions.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit edition.
Also, I have been working on trying to get Virtual PC working for my 16-bit and 32-bit programs but haven't got Windows XP running inside Virtual PC yet. That will be my next project. However, in the meantime I have found an excellent program called DOSBox (http://www.dosbox.com) that has addressed this issue of running old DOS programs.
I had tried the Citizen 200GX under Windows 7 64 bits and works.
The trick is on "Device and Printers" select "Add Printer" and choose "Windows Update" to show the list of all the printers available. Select "Citizen" and "Swift 9".
It should work. I even try it with a parallel-USB adapter.
Thanks for your advice.
I actually have already run the Windows printer update and have been using the GSX-190 printer driver since July 2010 with the Citizen 200GX printer and works okay. The only downside is that this driver doesn't fit as many columns across the page as the Windows 98 200GX printer driver did but I will give the Swift 9 driver a go with my original program and see how that compares with the old 200GX driver and the GSX-190 printer driver that I have been using under Windows 7.

But up to now Ethereum has been the near-exclusive playpen of a tiny coterie of already-wealthy, never-marginalized, mostly Western and almost entirely male technocrats. Can Ethereum be more than this? Can it fulfill its mission to be the future compute platform for all of humanity? How do we overcome the enormous obstacles we currently face to mass adoption, things such as UX, the complexity of key and identity management, the public perception of scams and shitcoins, and the awful wealth distribution? I believe the answer lies in the concept of social scalability, conceptualized by Nick Szabo. This talk will introduce the concept, discuss how it relates to Ethereum, and examine present scaling, governance, education, marketing, and UX initiatives through this lens, with an eye towards developing Ethereum into a platform usable by and valuable to humans everywhere.

Today is Part 3 of a series of Diet Myths Debunked.
Diet Myth # 3
The New High-Protein Diets Are the Way to Go
Just like with fats and carbs, high protein diets have their advantages and disadvantages. Some intriguing new research indicates that protein may satisfy hunger better than either fats or carbs and may help control both appetite and calorie intake. High protein diets are the choice of most body builders.
Like both fat and carbs protein is necessary to the human body. Essential amino acids (the 'building blocks of life') must come from foods as the body does not manufacture them on its own. Protein is a source of energy, transports oxygen throughout the body, builds and repairs tissue, creates new cells, among many other necessary functions.
On the down side too much protein can increase cholesterol, may cause cancer, osteoporosis, and kidney stones.
What it seems to come down to is how much protein we really need. Medical professionals as well as dieticians disagree on this. So we are on our own.
Good sources of protein can be found in meat, fish, poultry, milk, yogurt, eggs, vegetables, beans, nuts, tofu, and cheese.
As with both fats and carbohydrates it boils down to this. We need protein for a healthy body. But how much is not certain and so perhaps the best way to go is to just eat a balanced diet that includes proteins as well as fats and carbs.
Finding just that right balance is the trick!
DISCLAIMER: The information for this very brief discussion of an extremely complicated topic was gathered from the following sources: WebMD, Harvard SPH, and Suite101, and from the books: Eat Drink and Be Merry by Dr. Dean Erdell published by Harper Collins 1999; and The Fat Fallacy by Dr. Will Clower published by Three Rivers Press 2003.

Featured Recipe Chicken and Wild Rice Salad with Almonds
When my fridge died a week or so ago I had some chicken in the freezer. So that I would not loose it all I fried it all up and one of the dishes I made is this one. It is so easy and soooo delicious.
As you can see from the picture below this makes a huge amount of salad. It can be a main meal. As a main meal it can easily feed 4 people. You can take leftovers to work or school the next day. It can go to picnics. You can leave the chicken out of the recipe and just have a rice salad for a buffet. This is a very versatile recipe.
This is what you need:
1 box Wild Rice Mix with Seasonings
Left-over cooked chicken cut into chunks
1-2 celery stalks chopped
1 carrot shredded
2 tablespoons red onions minced
Dried cranberries
Sliced almonds
Here is what you do:
NOTE: If you are not using left over chicken you will first need to poach, roast, or fry a piece or two of chicken and cool completely.
Prepare only the rice according to package directions; save the seasoning packet for another meal. (NOTE: You will probably need a tablespoon of butter to make the rice.)
While the rice is cooking chop the celery, dice the onion, shred the carrots, and cut or pull the chicken into bite size pieces.
When rice is cooked let it cool. When it is cool cool enough for you, add all remaining ingredients to the rice, including the cranberries and almonds. Mix everything together. (NOTE: I prefer a very lukewarm salad, so I let it cool way down. I prefer that my carrots and celery not go limp.)
If you wish, you can add a few more cranberries and almonds on top of the salad for presentation purposes.
You can eat the salad as it is. Or you can add a dressing of your choice such as a light vinaigrette dressing. I use a very small drizzle of olive oil and a good squirt of lemon juice. I do not add a dressing to all of the salad. Let each individual add their favorite.
That's it. Another very easy and very delicious recipe.
1 box Wild Rice Mix with Seasonings $1.99
Left-over chicken cut into chunks $1.01**
1-2 celery stalks chopped $0.34
1 carrot shredded $0.11
2 tablespoons red onions minced $0.10
Dried cranberries $0.74
Sliced almonds $0.75
1 tablespoon butter for the rice $0.15
Total Cost = $5.19
Cost per person for 3 = $1.73
**Strictly speaking, there should be no cost if you are using left over chicken. So the $1.73 per person listed above is high if you are using left overs.
Bon Appetite.

Yoga are the physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines that aim to transform body and mind. The term yoga is derived from the literal meaning of "yoking together" a span of horses or oxes, but came to be applied to the "yoking" of mind and body. The ultimate goal of Yoga is moksha (liberation) though the exact definition of what form this takes depends on the philosophical or theological system with which it is conjugated.

In what seems is an effort further muddy the waters of the DC Cinematic Universe, Warner Bros. is apparently planning a stand alone Joker film featuring Jared Leto's Suicide Squad Clown Prince. This is in addition to the previously announced Todd Phillips directed Joker origin story not featuring Jared Leto but rather Joaquin Phoenix.
The film, produced by Leto, would serve to further expand the Suicide Squad world along with the upcoming Margot Robbie produced Harley Quinn spin-off. The Martin Scorsese produced origin film would be part of a separate DC Cinematic Universe focusing on origins. Look, it's great that DC wants to closer mimic the vibe of the comic book world with various versions of characters, but creating a cohesive comic book universe has done pretty well for Marvel (and they didn't even have access to the entire Marvel catalogue of characters), so you'd think DC might take some cues from them. Not to mention, Leto's Joker has been the least liked Joker to date.
