Will all the hype about Apple's iPad really translate to sales or a product doomed to get dusty on a salesfloor shelf? Well if history is any guide, Apple and Steve Job's will need a new pit for all the cash about to come their way, here's why.
It's been nearly a month since Apple's executive team demonstrated the 'awesome, exciting, magical, groundbreaking, every-positive-noun-under-the-sun' power of the iPad. It has created tens of thousands of articles, quick product reviews, Youtube videos and several million tweets, comments and blog posts.
So what has all this done to traffic? And what does the traffic tell us about the likely success of Apple's newest edition to the iFamily?
Not bad right? A big spike, but where's the longevity of the hype? Should Apple be concerned about the drop off? Looking at it as compared with other Apple products, probably not, take a look. Below is a graph charting search of the iPad, iPhone and iPod over the last 12 months.
The primary reason why big spikes of attention is probably just fine with everyone at Apple from their marketing and product team's right up to the big turtleneck wearer himself, is that they've done it before and their system works at generating interest and strong sales in the long term. Why change something that's working just fine?
Below are Google Trends graphics showing search patterns for the iPad, iPhone and iPod for 'all countries' for 'all time'. The iPhone saw nearly the exact same spike in 'hype media attention' and 'hype search attention' and did just fine. Of course, the iPhone and iPad are different products, so there's still an the question of 'will the iPad take off? But at the very least the media strategy seems to have hit the spot. It also looks like the iPad could be expected to fade a little more from the media and search frequency before it turns around if the previous search spikes are a good guide.
Despite how big these spikes are, in Google Insights the iPad doesn't even make a mention in total search stats when compared with it's brethren. Below, the iPad is in blue, iPhone in red, iPod is orange.
So is the 'hype spike' a good thing or a bad thing? It's a good thing, by a long shot. Most marketers would kill to get that kind of cut-through and message delivery. Apple aficionado's and curious Apple passerby's are just waiting to see if the product matches the hype.

Alice 19th is a shojo romance story of Alice Seno, known around school as "Mayura's little sister." She's pining for Kyo, a boy whom both Alice and her older sister love. Along the way, she meets a bunny that isn't any bunny. She appears to be a mystical bunny who turns into a person with rabbit ears! And according to the bunny-person-thing (dammit, what was her name again? The book says it, but I couldn't be bothered to go look – it's 2AM!), she'd been looking for Alice, and wants to teach her how to become a Lotis Master, a person who's able to control powerful words. However, first the bunny-person-thing has to teach her how to become assertive and outspoken.
Why Lotis Master deserves some attention...
- Alice 19th is a whimsical shojo romance that has many similarities to Alice in Wonderland (no shit).
- It's a unique teen romance, but it also has lessons that can apply to life.
- It's a silly novel. It was adventurous and funny! I always respond well to funny books, and there's nothing wrong with silly if it's entertaining. J
- It features a talking bunny. Nothing is better than bunnies that talk. . . except maybe talking cats. Maybe in the next volume!
One situation this – and all manga writers – need to work on:
THESE. DANG. CLIFFHANGERS. The only thing about manga that I hate is they always end in a cliffhanger! Well, not always, but Alice 19th Volume I sure does. >.>
I had a blast reading this book. It went by far too fast for my taste, and now I'm searching ebay for the entire series. Do you know how pricey manga gets? Ugh. Anyways, if you're looking for fun, adventure, and romance, I'd say pick up this school-life shoujo and give it a whirl. :D

By Christina Baum, Program Analyst, Infectious Disease, NACCHO
Avian influenza has been a popular topic in the media this past year, and the attention on the topic boils down to two primary points of interest: 1) it has affected millions of birds and 2) the disease is similar to ones which have affected humans in the past. The outbreak began in 2014 and by early summer of 2015 had spread to birds in 21 states. Avian influenza represents just one of many potential public health threats that may be on the radar for local health departments (LHDs) and there are several key points to remember while avian influenza remains a concern.
There are many strains of avian influenza worldwide, and they can be classified as either highly pathogenic (HPAI) or low pathogenic (LPAI) based on the severity of the illness they cause in birds. These viruses are named for the types of proteins found in them. The current outbreak in the United States are all H5 viruses (named for the fifth known type of hemagglutinin protein) and include H5N8, H5N2, and H5N1 which are distinguished by the type of neuraminidase protein they contain. All of the strains are classified as highly pathogenic because of the severe illness they cause in birds. Further, viruses with these combinations of genes had not previously been detected in the United States and they have spread primarily along the Pacific and Central flyways—routes traveled by wild migratory birds. When these viruses are detected, particularly among large flocks of agricultural birds, the animals are often culled to prevent the spread of the disease. Since December 2014, over 48 million birds have been affected and many of them have been eliminated. Prior to this outbreak, the 2004 HPAI outbreak in Texas was the only one in over 20 years and that outbreak affected only 7,000 birds.
The risk of human infection is low, even with the highly pathogenic strains but some genetically similar HPAI viruses have infected people in the past. Most human infections with avian influenza viruses—including Asian HPAI H5 viruses and LPAI H7N9 in China, which were both widely publicized—occurred in people who had direct contact with either infected birds or the excretions/secretions of infected birds.
To see how LHDs have been affected and what they are doing to track avian influenza, NACCHO reached out to members of its Epidemiology, Infectious Disease Prevention and Control, and Immunization workgroups, as well as the Preparedness Policy Advisory Group. Through these conversations, several themes and important lessons emerged:
- The degree of response and concern is highly variable, but most LHDs are monitoring the situation. NACCHO is aware and mindful of the diversity of LHDs—in geographic area, population, programs, and more, and this diversity allows them to address the unique needs of each community. Thus, the response to HPAI in the U.S. is no exception, and varies depending on capacity, perceived threat levels, and community interest.
- Building and maintaining relationships with veterinary public health teams and agricultural partners early on is valuable if and when a response is needed.
- It is important to be mindful about messaging. In communities where animals are affected or the public expresses concern, working with partners to develop accurate and consistent messaging is necessary, as with any emerging threat.
- Maintaining partnerships with state and federal level public health is also integral. LHDs will be relied upon as a resource if response to this threat is necessary, and having good communication across these levels can make preparedness and action more effective.
Even while the avian influenza threat diminishes as the virus is beat back by the summer heat, the topic is just another example of the ways that LHDs are on the frontline of protecting public health and the lessons applied here are often echoed in response to new emerging threats.

Norwegian Film Spring 2019
Three features and three documentaries in the Norwegian spring film season.
After a record year of 2018, when Norwegian films for the first time exceeded a market share of 25% in the cinemas (25.2%, by selling over three million tickets, 43.5% more than in 2017), the Norwegian Film Institute presented the spring season of 2019, including "three features with adventures, drama and intrigues, as well as three documentaries about camels, fast cars and clairvoyance."
"With the wide selection of films that the Norwegian audiences can choose from, it is a quality sign of Norwegian cinema that so many choose to watch local films," said managing director Sindre Guldvog, of the Norwegian Film Institute, adding that three of last year's five most viewed titles were Norwegian: John Andreas Andersen's The Quake (Skjelvet), Harald Zwart's The 12th Man (Den 12. Mann) and Rasmus A Sivertsen's Louis & Luca – Mission to the Moon (Månelyst i Flåklypa).
"Norwegian creators of new films and TV series compete for the audiences all the time, and it is a world cup competition; the conclusion must be – and is – that our films and our filmmakers are world class. Now, what we are equally excited about is of course what kind of reception the six Norwegian films in the spring season will get among the press and the public," concluded Guldvog at the institute presentation in Oslo's Filmens Hus, where Norwegian producer Tonje Shar Reiersen introduced the first 2019 package.
One of the early releases is Amundsen, by Norwegian director Esben Sandberg (Max Manus: Man of War/Max Manus/2008, Kon-Tiki/2012), whose portrayal of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen – the first to reach the South Pole - stars Pål Sverre Hagen. The Motion Blur Films' production with SF Studios was filmed in Iceland, the Czech Republic and Norway.
Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland has two premieres in the beginning 2019: besides the local Out Stealing Horses (Ut og stjæle hester), Paradox Films is ready with this UK-US thriller Cold Pursuit, an English-language remake of his In Order of Disappearance (Krafidioten) black comedy actioner. The cast includes Emmy Rossum, Liam Neeson and Laura Dern.

A Church in Mission05/30/18
One year ago in May, Snow United Methodist Church voted to discontinue as a congregation. At the same time, Genesis United Methodist Church was in financial crisis, due to nearly $10,000 in monthly obligations related to its mortgage and expenses at its location in the Watermark Center near Cascade Road. By July 23, due to the generous gift of Snow UMC members, Genesis was located at the former Snow location on the eastern edge of Cascade Township, and the two congregations were united at the new location.
More than 300 persons look to our congregation as their church family, with more than 200 members and about 100 constituents. Today we are a strong, vital congregation focused on spiritual growth and justice for all persons. I have been proud to be your pastor for nearly 22 months.
For obvious reasons, we have focused a lot on ourselves in the last 2 years. However, a church that turns inward is not a true church. Churches are vital only if they are focused outward, reaching out in mission to others, as well as taking care of the needs of their own congregation.
Our first mission obligation, as a United Methodist Church, is Ministry Shares, our responsibility to join with other United Methodists in our conference and world to meet human need. We have paid small amounts on our ministry shares each year, but with the future of our congregation in jeopardy in the last year, we have not done our share. It remains a priority to do better in paying ministry shares.
Last fall, we made a clear decision to reach out in mission, even though we were having trouble meeting our church budget. I am glad to report the extra giving that you have given since then.
September – Hurricane Relief – $1,401
October – Flat River Outreach Ministries – $249
November – Grand Rapids Metro Ministry – $35 – Ministry Shares $56.15
December -Ministry Shares – $1,363 – United Methodist Community House $350
January – Circles – $168 – Flat River Outreach Ministries – $164.87
February – Medical Expenses for Terah Bishop – $1,375
March – Refugee Fund – $1,502
April – Flat River Outreach Ministries $228
To help our own ministries you have given (so far) about $2,000 to our Genesis Garden project during May.
Thanks for going the second mile with your giving. Our mission co-chairs, Sheri Dewald and Denny Smith, will keep us aware of mission needs in the months to come. We need volunteer hours as well as financial gifts.
During June, your extra mission gifts will help fund Faith Works, in which we will do home repairs and other local needs later this summer, in conjunction with the United Methodist Church in Lowell.
In July, your extra mission gifts will help to fund future youth and adult mission trips.
Thanks for your generosity, as well as your regular gifts to our church budget, which make possible our move to a full-time pastor July 1. I'm proud to have been pastor of such a caring, outreaching and inclusive congregation.
Pastor John Ross

Ayn Rand is an enemy of the Tea Party, not its prophet
Vladimir Shlapentokh
In the 1960s, Vladimir Lenin was considered by many Russian liberals as their ally in the fight for the liberalization of Soviet society because they agreed with one single item in his ideological heritage: his relative tolerance of the views of his party comrades. At the same time, neo-Leninists pretended to ignore the fact that Lenin was a constant foe of the free election process and of liberal freedoms, which was in addition to him being the founder of the infamous Soviet Gulag. The case with Ayn Rand and the Tea Party is quite similar. The leaders of this influential movement focus on only one commonality between the views of Rand and that of their own ideology — her hostility toward welfare — all while ignoring the total incompatibility of the remainder of her views on other major social issues within the principles of the Tea Party movement.
On Sunday, September 14, the Tea Party organized a massive rally in Washington, where much like other gatherings of a similar nature the ideological fervor was directed against the elites, of whom Rand was ironically a great admirer. It is only natural that in the midst of such an anti-elitist atmosphere the name of Thomas Jefferson was found on the posters of the marchers. For the Tea Partiers, Jefferson is the epitome of a true democrat, one who more than many of his contemporaries emphasized both the role of common people in governing society and the importance of small government. The Tea Party activists could not help but to take pleasure in Jefferson's diatribes written in his famous letter to John Adams where he spoke strongly against an "artificial aristocracy founded on birth and wealth," which is "a mischievous ingredient in government" and an enemy of "the equality of men." To be sure, Jefferson's name could be found on the rally posters in Washington on September 14, as well as in other places where the Tea Party made itself visible.
The name of Ayn Rand competed in popularity with Jefferson's at the Tea Party meetings. Some demonstrations started with a reading from Atlas Shrugged, which was coupled with the declaration that this book should be treated as "America's Second Declaration of Independence." Meanwhile, among American authors over the last two centuries it is impossible to find somebody who has so openly and consistently praised the American elite as Rand has. Rand created magnate protagonists like John Galt and Francisco d'Anconia who ran their industries and societies without paying heed to public opinion. Rand and her heroes hold ordinary people in great contempt, and would be appalled if she were alive today to see how the common man has demanded that it is they (not the American nobility nor the Ivy League graduates) who should have the decisive voice in this country's politics. This movement's activists, in their fervor against the elites, literally echo the motto of the Russian Bolsheviks who insisted that "the cook if taught will efficiently govern society"; this slogan indeed only bolsters the cadre policy of the Tea Party whose members do not require a diploma from even a mediocre college from their chosen Senatorial candidates.
In fact, those who commend Rand as the champion of individualism conveniently forget that she wanted to protect individualism and the unlimited freedom of action when only applied to her Nietzschean tycoons. Indeed, Rand was fully indifferent to the workers in her novels, whom she described as primitive beings — "savages" in the words of Atlas' steel mogul Hank Rearden, arguably one of Rand's most beloved personages.
It is obvious for those who have genuinely read Ayn Rand's novels and essays (as opposed to those who are merely formulating opinions of her from hearsay), that she and the Tea Party politicians have very nearly opposite views on what would be the desirable political system. In her most popular novels, Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, it is impossible to find any praise of the American Revolution or the American Constitution, but it is very easy to find many cases of the derogation of democracy and the majority rule, as well as a contempt for all democratic institutions: the election process, presidency, public opinion, media, and of the judicial system. In her book, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, she directly mocks democracy in both the past and present periods, and disparages "the will of the people." While it is indeed true that Rand is disgusted with the state, a fact which makes the partiers erroneously think that Rand is their ally, it is remarkable that the issue of taxes, a crux of the movement, was addressed by Rand only in regards to big companies, and never as a concern for ordinary people.
The rank-and-file in the movement sincerely believes that Rand is a staunch supporter of the same liberal capitalism as they are, when in fact Rand is the champion of aristocratic, oligarchic capitalism which is deeply antagonistic toward democracy and the will of people.
The Tea Party is an interesting phenomenon in American life, eloquent evidence of the vitality of American democracy even if its ultimate influence on American political life is yet to be understood. Even if its anti-elitist fervor can be useful for American democracy, at this point in time, the narrative of the Tea Party is vague, contradictory, and full of utopian and destructive elements. In Ron Chernov's recent New York Times article from September 24, 2010, he remarkably notes in his discussion of the Tea Party's ideological roots, that it "can claim legitimate descent from Jefferson and Madison." Yet, he totally ignored their strong anti-elitist views, which is so crucial for the movement.
The inclusion of Ayn Rand on the list of their saints, an ideologue who is mostly the enemy of the Tea Party's ideology as well as of democracy in general, suggests that the only way the Tea Party will have a future as a constructive part of American politics beyond the November election is if the Party seriously reassesses its intellectual arsenal.

1. Santiago de Compostela
Santiago is well enough known among tourists but it is often overlooked on classic itineraries to Spain simply because it's so far from everything! Santiago and Galicia made my list of reasons to go to northern Spain. A difference language, gallego, is spoken in this part of Spain, making it unique from the other regions. Rainy and green, people tend to call it the UK of Spain. If you are looking to do something off the beaten track, I suggest Santiago. Supposedly St. James (Santiago in Spanish) is buried here, and over the centuries, it became the biggest pilgrimage in Europe. Nowadays it has one of the most impressive cathedrals I've ever seen.
2. Salamanca
Located in central Spain, Salamanca is breathtaking. The glowing light that emanates from the stone at sunset has earned Salamanca the nickname "The Golden City." A university town since 1218, Salamanca is still home to one of Europe's finest universities. The city is filled with historic architecture, including the 12th-century Catedral Vieja and Casa de las Conchas, a 15th-century structure ornamented with hundreds of sandstone shells. Visits to Salamanca often begin at the Plaza Major, a Baroque square where students gather at all hours to eat, drink and sing.
3. Besalu
To see what Spain might have looked like in medieval times, there is no better destination than the town of Besalú. Located in Catalonia, Besalú is a completely walkable town packed with historic attractions. Don't miss the magnificent and beautifully preserved Romanesque bridge that spans the Fluvià River and dates back to the 12th century, the historic Jewish synagogues and the 11th century Church of Sant Pere. Be sure to walk across the bridge, which is closed to vehicle traffic, to take a few photos of the quiet, medieval town from this spectacular point.
4. Deia
On the Spanish island of Mallorca, in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana Mountain Range, you'll find the charming village of Deià. The village has long been popular with expats who flock to the scenic spot for steep cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea as well as countless olive groves. Literature lovers will appreciate that Deià was the home to author Robert Graves, whose residence is now open to the public for tours. Deià also boasts a beautiful coastal inlet called Cala de Deià that is only accessible by foot.
5. Ainsa
In the shadow of the Pyrenee Mountains, there is a medieval town called Aínsa. A highlight of a visit to this town is undoubtedly the Aínsa Castle, which is found at one end of the Plaza de San Salvador. Parts of the castle are from the 11th century, although much of the building comes from the 16th century. Two of the towers of the castle itself have been transformed into museums: the Ecomuseo, where you can learn more about the Pyrenees, and the Espacio del Geoparque de Sobrarbe.

Through the support of a lean practitioner the team focussed on the problems identified by our customers. All staff, at some point during the change process, were actively engaged in determining the future of the (DM) service. Targets were set by staff and this 'buy in' from staff made the commitment to achieve all the more relevant.
Staff critically assessed their current work practices and attitudes and by doing so were able to identify the key areas requiring change.
A communication plan was drawn up to ensure that any changes affecting our different customer groups were communicated quickly and easily. By identifying our key stakeholder groups - elected members, community groups, professional agents and consultees we were able to include our customers in the overall change.

Event to showcase the Tees as a salmon river
FROM High Force to the barrage at Stockton, salmon anglers are expected to flock to the area this weekend for a celebration of the River Tees.
The event, the first of its kind, is the idea of fly fishing supremo Olly Shepherd, who fishes the Tees as a profession and a passion.
He tutors anglers on the Tees and the Yorkshire rivers through his Fly Fishing Yorkshire company, though this weekend's event is purely to promote salmon fishing on the Tees.
Olly, who lives in Gainford, said: "I don't think anything like this has been organised in the country before.
"We have the full backing of landowners, and expect anglers from the region and much further afield to take part. The idea is to show off this wonderful river as a whole."
There are conflicting reports on how many salmon the Tees holds, speculation fuelled by the effect of the Tees barrage at Stockton on migrating fish.
The barrage has historically been a major problem, preventing vast numbers of fish from gaining entry from the sea the river system.
However, the considerable efforts of the Canal and Rivers Trust and the Environment Agency has led to many more salmon and sea trout successfully negotiating the structure in recent years.
Detailed research has revealed that there are a lot of salmon and sea trout parr in Teesdale, so fish are clearly making their way upstream in reasonable numbers.
But far fewer people are salmon fishing the Tees, compared to other rivers, such as the Tyne and Wear, where proven salmon runs are luring anglers away from the Tees.
Olly pointed out: "We want more people fishing the Tees, as catch returns don't reflect the number of salmon in the river.
"So this weekend's event is to promote the river to locals and those from further afield.
"Salmon fishing can boost the whole economy of a region and this event will bring money into the area."
However, Olly has stressed that the event is not aimed at providing a definitive answer to the mystery of salmon numbers.
"It will be great if a few fish are caught, but we are not trying to prove how many salmon are in the river.
"The result will be what it is, but there are so many factors affecting salmon fishing, including water conditions, that we can't read much into one weekend's results.
"We are very lucky to have such a great river, and this event will promote it and we hope encourage anglers to spend more time salmon fishing on this beautiful river."
Strict rules will be applied, with catch and release essential.
"Barbless hooks are encouraged, and the event is likely to be fly only, though spinning may be allowed on some stretches.
"We want any salmon caught to be treated with respect and carefully returned," added Olly.
"Nationally the species is in decline and we must value these wonderful fish."
Stretches available to fish include Lord Barnard's waters, Whorlton, Neasham, Eggleston, Cliff Hall and Snow Hall.
Both Barnard Castle angling clubs are expected to invite visitors onto their waters.
The Tees Rivers Trust, which plays a major role in protecting and enhancing the Tees and its tributaries, has given the weekend its full support.
Anyone wishing to fish must register by contacting Olly on 07850 506870.
Fishing will be overseen by members and officials of the clubs involved.
THE Tees was historically one of the finest salmon rivers in the country.
But the arrival of heavy industry, especially the chemical industry, on the lower Tees, led to appalling pollution which stopped the fish entering from the sea.
For decades from the early 20th century the Tees estuary was virtually dead.
The decline of heavily polluting industry and tougher environmental standards, was just beginning to allow salmon access again, when the barrage was built, initially with no more than a narrow, largely ineffective fish pass.
However, pressure from anglers has led to a much improved, though far from perfect position, which is where we are today.
The weekend's event is another step in bringing the Tees back into focus as a salmon river.

The strength that the nameless man had built grew day by day, hour by hour. He called out to the sun and told her how strong he was, and the sun smiled on him as she always does. So he took his new found strength and resolved to tell the one "No more!". The nameless man tried to do everything right, but everything went wrong. He had sought advice and it went wrong. He used trusted friends judgement, and still his words were turned to vitriol to be thrown back at him. And finally, when he tried to take a stand, and he found he could not. He crumbled, with every ounce of resistance he could muster being simply not… enough. So he bargained for peace, for a return to his former self.
He retreated into his shell, safe in the knowledge that at least the sun would shine on him from time to time, but he didn't understand the true nature of the bargain he had wrought. His bargain had sent him to the dark side of his small world, and the sun had gone, never to return. And he wept, his salt tears building to a flood, and the flood building to an ocean and the wave of the ocean swept everything before it.
But nothing is a true ending… and in almost no time he was before the one again. And the strength he thought he had was multiplied a thousand fold by the loss he felt for the sun, and he cried out "No more!" and the one said he should be free… but her words were slippery and all too soon he knew that although she said he should be, he never would be free as long as the one was stronger than he.

It's winter, and for many North American fleets that means having to deal with low-battery no-starts due to frigid temps. Colder temperatures not only place a heavier load on batteries, but also make them more resistant to charge.
International Marketing Inc. (IMI) has developed a product to address this problem. Smart Sense is a regulating unit designed to improve the electrical charging system capabilities of medium- and heavy-duty trucks. The company says the product's introduction has been made possible by the recent addition of remote sensing capability to alternators.
IMI explains that because heavy-duty truck batteries are housed independently from the alternator with its built-in voltage regulator (a wire connects the two), the distance between them often means that each component is subjected to different temperatures, resulting in an under-charged power source. Smart Sense bridges this gap by controlling the regulator setting and voltage output of the alternator based on the sensed ambient temperature of the batteries at their remote location.
Smart Sense can be easily installed on newer alternators that have an existing remote sensor terminal and a lead wire. It can also be phased-in on one-wire alternators equipped with remote sense capability, according to IMI.
Building alternators with higher outputs has become a priority for alternator manufacturers, according to Robert Bosch Corp. The company explains that one of the problems with today's alternators is that they have only 30% to 40% of rated output at idle, which often leads to deep cycling (draining the battery and then recharging it). Alternators with higher output ratings at idle reduce this deep cycling, leading to longer battery life.
Another trend is developing alternators that can withstand the hotter operating temperatures of emissions-compliant engines. Three months ago Bosch launched the LH 160, a new-generation alternator for longhaul applications that can operate at temperatures up to 221-257° F.
Early last year, Leece-Neville Heavy-Duty Systems Division of Prestolite Electric released a high-temperature version of the 110-555 (Triple-Nickel) heavy-duty alternator. Model 110-566 is approved for operating in ambient air temperatures up to 115 degrees C. (239° F.)
Delco Remy has recently released two new heavy-duty brushless alternators. The 24SI is designed to optimize power output and service life in today's high-temperature engine compartments. It features Remy's new Maximum Cooling Technology design, with dual internal fans and high-flow front and rear air vents. According to the manufacturer, this configuration delivers superior performance over a temperature range of -40 degrees to 221°F.
Developed for transit buses, the company's 50DN model combines the benefits of vibration-resistant brushless construction with a new Long Life Stator (LLS) assembly. LLS, the manufacturer says, significantly enhances unit performance and reliability. The new model also reduces heat-related performance issues by incorporating increased-diameter copper leads and removing lead insulation, resulting in greater surface contact with internal cooling oil.
DENSO is also offering high-output brushless alternators for Class 7-8 trucks. The 130-amp model features a new pad-mount design that provides durability in high-vibration applications because it is mounted directly to the engine block. A J180 hinge-mount configuration is also available. The 130-amp alternator produces 80 amps at idle.
In the not too distant future fleets can expect to see even greater output and efficiency from alternators, as well as more functional regulators. According to Bosch, these "smart" regulators not only have low-battery sensing capabilities, but actual data interchange with the electrical system to control consumption of power items like air conditioners and other accessories.
Bosh is also working on a new brushed alternator that should be on the market in about six months. It will have the same longevity benefits as brushless models, but with a higher efficiency rating and lower cost.

I recently had engine computer troubles and called on Triggs for help at short notice. Notwithstanding that they were very busy, they attended to my problems immediately and solved all my concerns. The manner and friendliness displayed was a tribute to the culture of the company. I can honestly recommend Land Rover owners to them due to their deep and serious understanding of the vehicles.

SUMMARY: The Americas and part of Europe will be treated to a total eclipse of the moon on Thursday night the first one visible here in three years. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earths shadow falls on the Moon, turning it a deep red colour. Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are completely safe to watch with the naked eye; and it looks even better with a pair of binoculars or small telescope. The eclipse begins at 0203 GMT Friday (10:03pm EDT Thursday), and reaches the maximum at 0340 GMT (11:40pm EDT). The eclipse will be best viewed from the Eastern Coast of the United States.

The NBA season is over, but the scintillating action keep on coming.
TV and Fury love it, obviously, and hash through it all on this week's podcast. Included: "good" guys going to "evil" teams, Dwight Howard and Kevin Love (sort of) make demands and cutting-edge German medicine.
Plus, more future talk. Yes, TV may have a problem.
Here's the link. And make sure to stop back Wednesday for the TVFury 1-year anniversary bash. It's bound to be decadent.

What is your 7 day "Love It or Leave It" promise?
I'd love to try one of your guitars for a week if I can return it should it not be the one for me. Can I do that?
Our "Love It or Leave It" promise allows a potential owner to buy one of our guitars and try it for a week before committing to keeping it. Should the guitar not be perfect for you we'll happily take it back...no questions asked (well, almost no questions...we value feedback so we would like to know why you didn't fall in love but if you choose not to share that with us we'll accept your decision). If you decide to return a guitar within the first week just let us know and we'll make arrangements to have it picked up. You'll need to pack it securely and be home on the day the carrier arranges to retrieve it but we'll look after everything else - labels, scheduled, etc. Naturally, we'll need to inspect the guitar once it arrives in our warehouse. If it comes back in the same condition as it left - no pick marks, no dings or scratches, etc - we'll issue a refund within 48 hrs.

Ating ating dating service d service d site site dating
Ating ating dating service d service d site site dating - Free adult sex chatrooms uk
The stigma that was once attached to online dating has well and truly disappeared – in fact, you're more likely to raise eyebrows if you're single and not on any dating apps.
The idea behind it is to save women from receiving leering advances or cringey chat-up lines from men, and it also takes the pressure off guys to start conversations.
Around one in four relationships start online now, and among the millennial generation, the number is likely to be even higher.
But as our smartphones become increasingly powerful, fewer of us are dating from behind our desktops, rather turning to the digital devices in our pockets.
The app is easy to use but we personally found the number of messages, winks, views and favourites we received overwhelming. Once: Free The idea behind Once is to move away from today's dating app culture and back towards traditional match-making – after a computer does the initial whittling down, real human match-makers pick a personalised match for each user every day.
It's meant to save time and free singles from hours of swiping (although to be fair that it half the fun for many of us), hence the name Once. Extra dedicated users can spend money and even exchange messages with a match-maker too.
Unfortunately there's no way of searching by time or location so if you don't go on the app straight away you may never be able to find that cute girl from Pret – in a big city you cross paths with so many people every day, so Happn can be a bit overwhelming. Match: Free app but membership costs £29.99 for one month Match feels like a step-up from the more casual dating apps in that the sign-up process takes a while and membership isn't free – £29.99 for one month seems expensive, but the price per month decreases significantly if you sign up for longer (if you sign up for six months, it equates to £12.99 a month).
Perhaps because they're paying, people on the app definitely treat it more seriously.
If you wear glasses or are into people who do, try Spex, for example. But whether you're after a meaningful relationship or just some casual dates, there's an almost overwhelming number of dating apps from which to choose nowadays.
We set ourselves the challenge of trying as many as we could over the course of six weeks.
We noticed both a different type of person and questions on Match compared to the likes of Tinder and Bumble.
This is an app for people really looking for relationships.
When signing up, you have to verify your profile in one of various ways, for example by sending a selfie mimicking a certain pose, which hopefully limits scammers too.

I don't expect violins, but the reality of working solo means no Christmas party… Except I don't work solo. I may be the driving force on this here blog, but without the rest of my little famalam it wouldn't be here! So to me that sounds like the perfect company for a blog Christmas Party!
The lovely people at Giraffe World Kitchen, got in touch to ask if we would like to try out their Christmas menu. And so the scene was set for our very impromptu blogger family Christmas party!
Their Christmas menu was really tempting, with flavours from around the globe, all with a festive twist to bring about some holiday cheer.
To start we had the stuffed chiles en nogada (Green pepper stuffed with minced beef, covered in red pepper sauce and topped with pomegranate seeds) and also the noche buena salad (fried corn fritter with beetroot, basil dressing, crispy Noche Buena salad and scattered pomegranate seeds), whilst the girls went straight in for their brioche burgers and fries. I always appreciate when you get the option to bring the kids meals as soon as they are ready… We all know how impatient kids can be. Although both were thoroughly entertained by crackers, hats and music!
Both starters looks and tasted amazing! We may have pinched a few fries when waiting for our starters (which were later regretted!)
For mains we opted for the middle eastern salmon (Pan-fried, spiced salmon on a bed of Moroccan couscous with traditional Middle Eastern vegetables and a sprinkling of Zatar spices and pomegranate seeds) and the turkey schtinsel burger (Breaded turkey escalope topped with bacon, brie, lettuce, tomato and apple & cranberry relish on a brioche bun. Served with skin-on fries).
I think hubs had food envy when he saw the height of the towering turkey stack that arrived for me… But he needn't have, because I only managed half of it (men love to eat the left overs!)
Wearing my tightest of skinny jeans wasn't the best idea!
The girls had a great time playing with the little giraffe's that come with the drinks. Making little beds for them from napkins. I think they may have actually ordered more drinks, just for the giraffe!
By the time pudding came, we were all stuffed! We shared a couple of rounds of panettone, because it's not Christmas until you dig into one of them!
It was a great meal out and a fabulous excuse to have a blog Christmas party to celebrate everything that we've achieved this year on this little Ole' blog. Award nominations, UK top 20 placing and even television adverts… Our minds are truly blown!
Thank you so much Giraffe for helping us celebrate a great 2017 and to some of the best work buddies I could ever hope for!
Disclosure: Giraffe invited us to their Aberdeen restaurant, but all comments are genuine… Even MM's dancing on the table.

One or more small flames burn on wicks emerging from the waxwork creature's body, often its head or hands. Though real, these flames don't consume the waxwork creature's body.
Creating a Waxwork Candle
Challenge Rating: Normal waxwork creature's CR + 1.
Melee: The waxwork creature's slam attack, or one natural attack it has, gains the burn universal monster ability. The additional fire damage is equal to the waxwork creature's slam damage die. The waxwork creature gains a +2 racial bonus to the save DC.
Special Qualities: A waxwork candle creature gains illumination.
Illumination (Su)
A waxwork candle creature's flames create normal light within the creature's reach and increases the light level by one step within twice that distance (minimum 5 feet). A waxwork candle creature is immune to its own fire, but not other flames (including those ignited by its own fire). The waxwork candle creature's flames can be extinguished as normal flames. It loses the burn ability when the wicks are unlit, but can magically reignite the flames as a move action.
Waxwork Creature Construction
Add produce flame as a spell requirement. Add 1,000 gp to the price (and 500 gp to the cost).
CL varies (equal to the waxwork creature's HD); Price 1,000 gp per HD plus cost of wax
Feats Craft Construct, animate objects, make whole; Skills Craft (sculpture); Cost 500 gp per HD plus cost of wax

Meeting Your Heroes (When You're Socially Anxious)
When I visited Birmingham for the Nature Valley Classic tennis tournament last month, I had a photo taken with double Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova. My friend and I had only just entered the tournament grounds – so you can imagine our excitement when we spotted her approaching us! However, our meeting with her didn't go all too great and it made me start asking a … Continue reading Meeting Your Heroes (When You're Socially Anxious)
