Lots of people have a naturally low blood pressure due to a healthy, active lifestyle. However, a healthy lifestyle isn't the only cause of low blood pressure – and sometimes low blood pressure can mean that there isn't enough blood flowing to your organs, including the brain. This can result in symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, blurred vision, heart palpitations, feeling sick and general overall weakness.
This can be caused by various factors such as your stress levels, how much exercise you do and if you've recently eaten. It can also be affected by the time of day, as blood pressure is normally lower in the evenings and mornings.
If your blood pressure is still low after these factors have been taken into account, it could mean that your low blood pressure is being caused by something much more serious. Here are 7 common causes of low blood pressure.
Common Causes Of Low Blood Pressure
1. Dehydration
Dehydration is one of the main causes of low blood pressure, and even mild dehydration can cause you to feel faint and weak. You could be dehydrated due to not drinking enough water, or excessive vomiting, sweating or diarrhoea.
2. Hormone Problems
Hormone problems can also cause low blood pressure, such as Addison's disease or diabetes. Addison's disease causes the immune system to attack the adrenal glands, which produce hormones that control your blood pressure. Diabetes affects the normal control of your body's blood pressure which can cause damage to the nerves that supply the blood vessels, leading to low blood pressure.
3. Heart Problems
Heart conditions, such as a heart attack or heart disease, can cause low blood pressure as the heart struggles to pump blood around the body.
4. An Allergic Reaction
Low blood pressure can also be caused by a serious allergic reaction such as anaphylactic shock. This is because an allergic reaction causes your body to produce a large amount of histamine, which widens your blood vessels and causes your blood pressure to drop. These reactions are normally caused by an allergy to food, medication, animals, insects or latex.
5. Endocrine Problems
Thyroid conditions such as parathyroid disease and hypoglycaemia can cause low blood pressure. This is why a large number of undiagnosed thyroid patients have low blood pressure, causing them to feel faint and weak.
6. Nutritional Deficiencies
If you aren't getting enough nutrients you may have problems with low blood pressure. This is normally caused by a lack of folate and vitamin B-12, as they help your body to produce red blood cells. If you aren't getting enough of these vitamins your body won't produce enough red blood cells, which causes low blood pressure.
7. Anaemia
Anaemia can also cause low blood pressure, as there isn't enough hemoglobin or red blood cells in your body.
Tips To Help With Low Blood Pressure
Low blood pressure can be frustrating, but there are lots of things that you can do to reduce the symptoms of low blood pressure.
Try to avoid standing up for a long time, as it is likely to may you feel dizzy and faint. When you do stand up make sure that you stand up gradually, especially if you have been sat or laid down for a long time. You can also try to increase your heart rate before standing up with physical movement by crossing and uncrossing your legs.
Try to eat lots of small meals instead of three big meals, as it will help to prevent postprandial hypotension (a form of low blood pressure). It can also be useful to avoid alcohol and caffeine late at night as they can dehydrate you.
However, it is important to speak to your doctor about your low blood pressure before attempting to treat it. If your low blood pressure is caused by a health condition your doctor may refer you to a hospital for further tests.

Turn Back The Crossover
As seen above, the Quebec Capitales decided to don uniforms that are similar to those of the Quebec Nordiques while the outfitted the St. Paul Paints with uniforms that resembled those of the Minnesota North Stars! Logos are different, of course, but this is a pretty awesome idea, and kudos go out to the Canadian-based Quebec Capitales for putting together this incredible idea!
Strangely, there are very few photos online of this game. You'd think there would have been more photos, especially from Quebec-based journalists, with the Capitales being the defending five-time champions, but apparently that's not the case. Whatever the reason or reasons may be, here's what I've found from Wednesday night's game between the Quebec Capitales and the St. Paul Saints.
The boys looked solid lined up along the first baseline. You may notice on the left side the guy named Scalabrini. That's former baseball player Pat Scalabrini. The 35 year-old is former infielder who played with the Quebec Capitales in 2002 where he was named an all-star as he hit .325 with seven homeruns and 45 RBIs. He also played with the Winnipeg Goldeyes and in the Baltimore Orioles organization in Delmarva and Frederick, and was a member of his rivals on this night, the St. Paul Saints.
Here's a closer look at the back of the uniforms. While it's not true Nordiques block font, they use the blue-on-red numbers and single blue lettering like the Nordiques did. And yes, I'm a huge fan of the fleur-de-lis along the lower hem and on the shoulders like the Nordiques used to do.
The boys used tape to nominate a captain before the game. While it couldn't be used on the field, it's still pretty awesome to see the baseball team picking up hockey traditions and running with them. Well done, Capitales!
The Saints were provided with their North Star-esque jerseys. The striping is identical, and the triple-colored white-on-black-on-yellow numbers are perfectly replicated from the North Stars uniform. The effort put in on these uniforms is outstanding!
While the end result saw the Capitales jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third inning, and then let their pitchers handle the rest as they downed the Saints by a 3-1 score. With the game looking like a hockey game, the hockey score put up by the two teams almost seemed fitting.
Kudos to the Capitales for this awesome promotion. Surprisingly, in my research I discovered that the Capitales ran this promotion last season as well! The Capitales have produced three awesome replica jerseys that have been very detail-oriented, and while I'm not normally a fan of crossover jerseys between sports, the Capitales have done a great job here. Thumbs-up, les Capitales!
Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!

As with the experience I had when configuring an existing KMS server to activate Windows 10 desktops:
Installing and configuring Windows 10 KMS Activation with Windows Server 2012 R2
… I also found that configuring the server for Office 2016 activations wasn't as straight forward as using the VAMT tool so this blog post serves to demonstrate the steps to get a KMS server activating desktops with Office 2016.
Begin by logging into the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center at:
… then search for Office Professional Plus 2016 Key Management Service Host to obtain the package:
Office Professional Plus/Standard 2016 32 Bit English KMS
Extract the ISO package to your KMS server:
Then execute kms_host.vbs:
The Volume Activation Tools wizard will now launch:
Proceed through the wizard and install the unique Office 2016 KMS key:
Activate the product key:
Restart the Software Protection service:
At this point, the KMS server should now be able to activate Office 2016 desktops. Note that you need atleast 5 Office 2016 desktops with a unique CMIDs before the KMS server will activate the installations. The following information entry in the Key Management Service logs indicate the threshold has not been met:
An activation request has been processed.
0xC004F042,5,WIN10P-023.domain.com,fa366b19-c48b-4ef8-a1bb-2f4718b477b3,2015/12/23 13:01,0,2,24510,d450596f-894d-49e0-966a-fd39ed4c4c64
Once the threshold of 5 has been met, the following informational log will be written:
An activation request has been processed.
0x0,5,WIN10P-022.domain.com,e35750c1-aca7-417d-859e-490bf1e61bce,2015/12/23 15:30,0,2,24362,d450596f-894d-49e0-966a-fd39ed4c4c64
Also note that I did not find the Volume Activation Management Tool useful for Office 2016 activations as attempting to install or activate installations would throw the following error:
A licensing provider for the specified product cannot be foundParameter name: product

Jorge Glem and the Cuatro Revolution
Interview by Amanda Gordon August 9, 2018
Jorge Glem and the Cuatro Revolution
August 9, 2018
Jorge Glem wants you to know that the cuatro is more than the sum of its simple parts. The Grammy-nominated musician is a master of the four-stringed Venezuelan folk instrument, strumming and palming and flicking its strings to produce the sounds of merengue, jazz, samba, and even American folk music for his audiences. He's on a mission to showcase the dynamic range of the cuatro, and ahead of his August 16 performance at the David Rubenstein Atrium, the ambitious cuatrista talks about his eternal love for the unique string instrument.
Amanda Gordon: Can you talk a little bit about why you began playing the cuatro?
Jorge Glem: The cuatro is a traditional Venezuelan instrument and you hear it in at least 90 percent of Venezuelan music. It's so much a part of Venezuela's musical identity, and it's very common for most people to own a cuatro. It was an instrument that always seemed to be present in my life, and growing up I was always exposed to it, whether it was seeing my father pick it up to play from time to time or hearing people playing it in parrandas (musical get-togethers) that were always taking place in our home.
As a child, I just saw the cuatro as an instrument that was part of every household, but soon I began to see its importance in music. It became very important to me not only to play it well, but also to understand and study it.
AG: When did you realize the versatility and potential of the instrument? What makes its sound unique?
JG: I truly realized when I entered my college years and attended music school. The mere fact that I was not able to choose the cuatro as my instrument, but had to choose the mandolin instead, showed that there was something very unique and uncommon about the cuatro, and that attracted me even more to it.
Whenever I played the cuatro, people's reaction to it was much better than when I played the mandolin. I really enjoyed taking songs that were popular on the radio and playing them on the cuatro. Other cuatro players responded well to what I was doing. Also, the reaction of people from other countries—who had never heard the cuatro—hearing a song they knew being played on this Venezuelan instrument was awesome.
For me, the cuatro has a very distinct voice, and the fact that it is a traditional instrument from my country makes it even more special. This, along with the incredible power of the cuatro to allow you to play percussion, a harmony, and a melody at the same time, although it is only a four-string instrument, inspired me.
AG: What is the #4CuatroMusic movement and how did it come about?
JG: The #4CuatroMusic movement emerged from the desire to see how many cuatro players are really out there. However, the movement went further than that because it tried not only to understand how the cuatro is played for traditional Venezuelan music, but also how it can be played for other genres. For example, Colombian accordionist Gregorio Uribe picked up a cuatro to play joropo, a genre from Colombia that is also part of llanero music, which is shared by both Colombia and Venezuela. The goal was to universalize the cuatro and show the world what can be done with it, by both professionals and amateurs, and share on social media using the #4CuatroMusic hashtag.
AG: You've been performing in New York City for a couple of years. Has living here informed your music? Have you found audiences to be receptive?
JG: New York City has had a great influence on me as an individual, on my music, and the way I play the cuatro. I have learned so much about making new music and fusing it with distinct styles. The audience reaction has been beautiful because they have embraced the sound of the cuatro, which is different and new to them. The work is hard, but I really hope to open doors and help pave the way for others who may want to start playing the cuatro.
AG: As a sort of unofficial ambassador for the cuatro, how do you think the traditional Venezuelan instrument can elevate the existing American music culture?
JG: I think to say that any instrument can elevate an existing musical culture that has taken years to form is not necessarily the best way to describe it. I think it's more about showing what the cuatro can do within the existing American music culture. It's more about an exchange of instrumentation and genres. I truly believe that music should have no boundaries, and the ability to use a traditional instrument like the cuatro in genres like American folk music, jazz, rock, and pop really exemplifies this.
I would love if, some day, the cuatro would be essential in a genre that is not from Venezuela, perhaps bluegrass or jazz. The great Paco de Lucía, for instance, took the Peruvian cajón and incorporated it into flamenco music, and now it's an integral part of that genre. The most important thing is for us to reach a point where musical genres can incorporate within themselves elements from other genres and fuse together to create newer and richer sounds.

This is in response to a prospective student's question:
Hi XXXX
We get an average of four missions a year, I'd guess. Almost all missions are big "project" searches. In Maine, the Warden's Service, our uniformed fish and game officers, are responsible for land, river and inland lake search and rescue, and they get as much 500 missions a year. They only need us for the biggest jobs, when a very large land area must be searched, or when they get too many missions at once and so need to "call up the reserves."
I should mention that about 40% of the Maine Wardens are Unity College graduates. Our CLE program trains primarily Maine Wardens, NPS Rangers and US FWS Refuge Officers. We're in the middle of a long term project to beef up the curriculum for SAR and other operational skills, but it may not have changed much by the time you get here.
A typical mission involves a night drive, in a hurry but not too fast, to a search HQ which can be up to six hours drive away, but usually only two or three hours.
The HQ is nearly always set up by the time we get there, and running pretty well using the ICS (Incident Command System). This is because we are in a sense part of the active reserve, and we get called in when it's become obvious the warden's need more help.
In most cases the Unity team acts as an independent unit and is assigned its own search area or hasty search. In a minority of cases, when a lot of ground must be covered, the Warden's split us up and use our most experienced students to be leaders of other groups, generally made up of volunteers, eagle scouts, volunteer fire department people, hunters in season and other kinds of folks. This can get interesting as ad-hoc teams can be undisciplined, untrained, and often there are one or two folks terribly out of shape.
Search areas are rarely easy ground. They're almost always wooded, often quite thick, often steep. There are many hazards. It's more important to be a good woodsman or woodswoman than a mountaineer, but being a bit of a mountain goat is always an attribute.
Line searches are the usual format, but we also often have to do hasty searches to "clear" trails and set search area boundaries.
Many team members are also members of other emergency services, such as volunteer ambulance, volunteer fire departments, police reserves or auxiliaries, Marine Patrol, Coastguard reserves, Army National Guard, and the like. I'd have to say that if you really want a lot of experience, the combination of Unity College SAR with Unity Town volunteer ambulance will do it pretty well.
The team has good morale and cohesion and I would say is one of the leading clubs. Not a day goes by that I don't see a team member in one of our T-shirts and sweat shirts. We just got our own vehicle for the first time, a former Warden's Service king cab truck, and we are making plans to trick it out for SAR. We've had a trailer for many years, and have a pretty well developed gear cache.
The team meets weekly for student-run trainings. As their faculty advisor, they meet with me two or three times a year for advanced trainings, for the MASAR spring training meet, or an annual rigging training. I meet with the team leader most weeks, and represent the college and the team at the quarterly MASAR meetings. I'm also the only qualified mountain or high angle rescue trainer the team has. But I have a lot of other responsibilities, so they don't get to see me as much as they might like to. An improvement would be to add a full SAR class to the curriculum which would automatically give me more time to teach SAR. This is in the works, but has to wait for some other curriculum work to get done first.
There are many other faculty involved, though. Tim Peabody, former Colonel of the Maine Warden's Service, is also an important mentor to the students. He tends to take the firearms and police work side of the job, and leaves the SAR more to me, but he is an expert SAR person too. Carol Blasi, former state attorney for natural resource law, handles the legal end. We also have a very strong adventure education team of Mac McInnes, another Englishman, and Beth Arnold from Outward Bound.
Last year we brought in David "Heavy" Whalley, a British mountain rescue expert, who served with me in the British Royal Air Force Mountain Rescue Service, to do some talks and trainings. Heavy and I and one team member also climbed Katahdin, Maine's highest peak, as part of a rescue weekend at Baxter State park.
That was the definite high point of my rescue year last year.
Anyway, always glad to answer questions. Let me know if you have others.

May or mayor not
Rahm Emanuel
So, you're the second most powerful man (and first most sweary) in the US as Obama's chief of staff, but you chuck it all in to run for mayor of Chicago, once your boss has smoothed the way by giving a plum job to the family member most likely to succeed the incumbent.
All is looking good, and then it turns out that you don't fulfil the residency qualification, and you get thrown off the ballot. Doh! Fortunately, Chicago is a city so sleazy it makes the News of the World newsroom look like an NCT antenatal class. If Emanuel doesn't manage to get himself elected to the most corrupt city in the US on a ticket handed to him by Democrat dynasts, then – to render one of his favourite epithets into print-friendly form – he's a fecking eejit.
Stop the press
Andy Coulson, Ian Edmondson, the Met
Nothing was done. There is no evidence that anything was done. In fact, there's been increasingly less evidence as time has gone on. Certainly not at the NoW, and certainly not after 2006. And certainly not that can still be found in the Met's logbooks. The police are doing their job, investigating crime, not taking backhanders from tabloids, there isn't an incestuous relationship between foreign media magnates and the people who run the country at their behest and everybody is lovely. It's only communists like the BBC and the Guardian – who live in a welter of lies and paranoia, and could read signs of political intimidation, police corruption and invasion of privacy into a Topsy and Tim adventure – who keep pretending otherwise. Pinko swine.
There. Can you spike that story about my affair with Jon Pertwee now? Ta, Mr M.
The inside story
Tommy Sheridan
Just occasionally, of course, bad things do happen in the criminal justice system. Fortunately, when they do, the mistake is swiftly spotted and corrected, as the former leader of the Scottish Socialist party learned this week when he was sentenced to three years for perjuring himself during his successful defamation case against – would you believe it, here it is again! – the NoW four years ago.
He has vowed to "put to positive use my time in custody. On my release I will return to fight for justice, equality and peace." He has also told his lawyer to begin legal action against the paper, the Met and Glenn Mulcaire, the PI used by the NoW, over the alleged phonehacking business. A nice, neat news week all round.

"I couldn't foresee the way it was going to disturb me on such a deep level." Nicole Kidman on her role as a bereaved mother in her new film. Ah, actors.

(Reuters) - Chemicals group BASF and LetterOne signed a merger agreement to combine their respective oil and gas businesses Wintershall and DEA to create an independent European oil and gas company, the companies said.
The new company called Wintershall DEA will be headquartered in Kassel and Hamburg and will seek to list itself through an initial public offering, BASF said.
Under the deal, LetterOne will put all its shares in a vehicle of Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman's DEA into Wintershall Holding GmbH against the issuance of new shares of the company to LetterOne.
BASF will initially hold 67 percent and LetterOne 33 percent of Wintershall DEA's ordinary shares.
The Joint Venture will aim for daily production of 750,000 to 800,000 BOE between 2021 and 2023 and is expecting synergies of at least 200 million euros ($232.80 million) per year are expected as of the third year following the closing of the transaction.
The new independent company will be led by the chief executive of Wintershall, Mario Mehran, and Maria Moraeus Hanssen, CEO of DEA, will be the deputy CEO and chief operating Officer of the joint venture.

Posted Wednesday, December 9, 2009 11:48 AM | Contributed by Jeff
Cedar Fair has filed a lawsuit that would void a proposal between Santa Clara and the 49ers to build a 68,500-seat stadium on a city-owned parking lot used by the theme park. The suit, downplayed by both sides in the dispute, came shortly before the Santa Clara City Council voted early this morning to put a stadium proposal to its residents in June.
Read more from The San Francisco Chronicle.
From reading the comments in that article, I get the feeling the issue of a new stadium is a highly charged subject matter for Californians.
I doubt anyone here in So Cal cares (or even knows!).
Well, aren't they two different provinces?
How can any city afford to buid a new sports stadium right now? And in california of all places. I thought that state was in big trouble.
I think that money could be used better.
Usually when a professional team wants their home city to pony up to pay for a better stadium, they hold the implied threat of departure for greener pastures over the heads of the citizens. If the Bay area won't pay for a new park, maybe Salt Lake City will. But this strategy doesn't work so well when pretty much every state and major metro area is staggering from slashed tax revenue and double digit unemployment. Except in the rare case of a community that has already built a state-of-the-art sports palace with no team to play there.
You can't just arbitrarily treat everything as "spend on this or a school." That's rarely where money comes from. Something like a stadium is financed by the team, sin taxes, bonds, etc.
^ The city is fronting a good amount of the capital to get the stadium built.
It's perfectly understandable why too. They have it in their heads as spend lots to build a stadium: then rake in millions in potential revenue from taxes generated by stadium admission tickets, parking lot fees, etc. in the future.

Actually a good many metro areas still hasn't seen that 10 percent unemployment rate yet plus even in states where the rate is that high if not higher, that still wont stop those who want a new stadium either. Indiana for example last I checked had one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation but that still didn't stop Indianapolis from building that new Lucas Oil Stadium for their Colts.
^^From reading the discussion, my understanding of Santa Clara's business model is as follows:
Phase 1: Build Stadium
Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: PROFIT!
Except Lucas Oil was green-lighted with funding well before the economy took a dive. They were in the middle of their first season in the new stadium when the economy publicly fell out from under us.Last edited by maXairMike, Thursday, December 10, 2009 6:49 PM
^^Best reference to the underpants gnomes EVAR! ;)
I don't blame CF at all on this one. Why should an NFL franchise, with the multi-million dollar ownership, not to mention all the league revenue, merchandising, etc., pay a fraction for leasing the land than what Cedar Fair pays?
They should talk to the folks in Arlington, TX. From what I understand, many of them now regret letting Jerry Jones put in the new Cowboys stadium. I don't know the details myself, but I understand that he kept making more and more demands after the initial agreement went through and the city didn't have much choice at that point.

When Rosario Dawson stepped on the 2012 Red Carpet it was abundantly clear that she got breast implants. Her plastic surgery literally brought her breast size from a B to a D cup. Her cleavage is literally popping out of her green silk dress!
She looks pretty flat chested before getting the breast implants. But, in the after photo she's also wearing double sided tape to make her breasts really pop.

So before it goes any further, let's talk about consent for a moment. That's the one thing these cases all have in common: In none of them did anyone consent to sex.
Montana District Judge G. Todd Baugh, who let off a teacher who raped a 14 year-old with a 30-day sentence in the course of which he pointed out that the victim was "older than her chronological age" is coming under a lot of fire. He apologized Wednesday for one lousy sentence, but not the other one.
He was "not sure just what I was attempting to say, but it did not come out correct," the judge said, which is a pretty terrible apology as apologies go.
I'm sure what he meant to say was, "Women are people, rape is rape, I'm going to go rethink my life and gee these sentencing guidelines are kind of screwy," but what came out was, she was "older than her chronological age" and "it wasn't this forcible, beat-up rape."
That doesn't mean there was consent.
And consent is not optional.
People need to stop treating consent like it's nice but not required, like holding doors open for people or carrying mints on your person — or treating consent like it's implied if you are female and ever pick up a drink or go out wearing heels. Nope. Sorry. That's not consent.
I always feel a vague whiff of despair whenever I try to write about something like this, because inevitably the Internet is divided into two groups of people: people who already agree with you about the need for consent, and people who do not realize that this is a problem and are off somewhere taking creepshots and sharing hints about fun household uses for your empty Axe bodyspray cans. The latter are the ones who need to read this, and the former are the ones who actually do. But just in case:
Consent is not . . . you are a woman who left the house wearing [item of clothing that my grandmother does not own].
Consent is not . . . you seem pretty mature.
Consent is not . . . you climbed out of the bowels of a teddy bear and gyrated.
Consent is not . . . well, I didn't have to club you and drag you back to my cave.
Consent is not . . . you sang along with "Blurred Lines" and giggled.
Consent is not . . . you are my student.
"Well, then, what is consent?" you may be asking. "Must be hard to obtain. Or else why would we keep treating people who completely fail to get it as though they have committed a minor, forgivable oversight, like leaving their car keys on the counter? Consent must be a big hassle."
Nope! Consent is very simple. All you have to do is make certain that the other adult you are about to have sex with wants to have sex with you. Notice: adult. Children and most teenagers cannot consent, and they especially cannot consent if you are their teacher, an adult in a position of power over them, no matter what vague recollections anyone has of the '60s and '70s and having a lot of sex on the brain. Sorry. At that age, your brain is not fully developed, even if your body is. There are many decisions that we as a society have decided teenagers are not capable of making, even if we allow them to dictate all movies that come to theaters. The fact that a teenager feels capable of making a decision does not mean that the teenager is actually capable of making that decision, as anyone who has been a teenager or wrestled car key away from a teenager will tell you.
I can't believe that this has to be spelled out, but apparently, it does. I thought these were crazy straw-man arguments too, but then I saw some people ACTUALLY MAKING THEM.
To recap: Consent doesn't mean that you sort of assumed that anyone in his or her right mind would want to copulate with you. Consent does not mean that you feel like her Inner Goddess winked at you at some point. Consent does not mean "Hey, I didn't have to physically subdue him, and no pepper spray was brandished — it must have been fine!" Nope. Consent means that you obtained permission from someone old enough to give you permission. It doesn't matter how old the person seems to you. Humbert Humbert does not run the justice system.
And if you fail to get permission, because your partner is too young to consent, or too drunk, or any other reason — this is on you. It is not on Miley Cyrus, or the "rainbow party" culture (which probably does not, by the way, exist). It is on you, and if your life is not going to be a picnic from now on, making CNN anchors sigh over your lost potential, well, that's on you, too, and the CNN anchors need to stop.
This should go without saying. But somehow, it doesn't.

I would say it takes me about an hour to put a new card together. Often it takes three or four attempts before I am happy with a design.
At Christmas I do a big box of about 200 cards. I like to have at least 10 different designs, but it all depends on the embellishments I have collected during the year, most are bought in the sales.This is the first of design for my 2009 Box.
The centre uses a 3D embellishment from a pack of 8 assorted designs from Hobbycraft, I have looked on the packet but it's not clear who the makers are.
Its a pretty simple card, the time was spent on deciding on colours and paper. I just love gingham papers, especially for Christmas, it's so versatile.
The picture is made using blue bazzill paper with two layers of white glitter card for snow plus the snowman. I have drawn snowflakes using a white gel pen on the sky, added two tiny peel off dots to accentuate the snowman's eyes and a small gold star on the tree. The snowflakes are punchies with a blue flat backed gem in the centre.
The centre is stuck onto the card using sticky pads for extra dimension.
Now I have come up with this basic design I shall repeat it with the other stickers from the pack with a variety of other coloured ginghams.

Anyone tell me what the payload is on a 2006 Grand Voyager 2.8
All info suggests a payload of 470kg but that barely covers 7 passengers let alone any luggage. Help!.
10 Answers
That's it! You're reached the limit.
If your Owner's Manual says 470kg then that's it (or they lied or you misread it or you didn't read it at all and just had someone "suggest" a number.) hi-Mark.
Hi Chas, We had a few more after shocks today. No damage, it just catchers us off guard. The Kia diesel is still running good.
if you carry that many people and luggage, it's time to get a real van- a full-size van- that mini-van will be dangerous loaded down over its limit- it will not brake, or corner at speed-
Mark and blues - sometimes I wonder why such silly questions get started in the first place. AND jamnblues -you kind of scared me with an answer you gave that implied that the alternator magically made electricity.
Kind of a side track but you'll enjoy this one Mark. Thirty plus years ago a client,who was an auto mechanic,wanted advice on setting up a corporation,getting a patent,finding investors,etc.. I listened to his questions and the explanation of what he had invented. It boiled down to : hook a battery to an electric motor which will turn an alternator which will then charge the battery. He was quite disappointed when I explained the teeny,tiny.itty.bitty flaw in the idea.
HAHAHA. That's a good one. I met a guy here a few years ago that tried to convince me that he had a perpetual motor he was perfecting. NO, I wasn't interested in investing.
hey Mark, I'd like to ask you to join a cause on trying to get mechanics on this site (auto guys in general) to understand their misunderstanding about O.B.D.II. These guys keep TALKING about SCANS & CODES like these are a genie in a bottle, They have NO IDEA what OBD is. If you google : University of Michigan OBD; their site" group engin.und.umich" will pop up under "Introduction to On Board Diagnostics" . Maybe if I can get another mature and curious guy clued into the Myth & Lore that mechanics believe to be truth; then I will have more luck at helping to protect people from misconceptions about OBD. It looks like a big read but even the first few pages will open eyes ,if you print it off and read it all - you'll faint. Just asking..
Sure Chas. I'll have to get the iPad away from my wife and 2 year old first. They are absessed with CANDY CRUSH and Face Book. GERRRRR! To start, lets refer people that need to understand what's what to that link. How goes your email quest? We had the inside of the house painted when we were in Manila. When we got back the fumes triggered a lung infection. Thank The Good Lord for modern medicine. After a $10.00 Dr. visit and $16.00 in meds I'm feeling and getting better. Well, off to our favourite restaurant and have breakfast. Then have the front end of the Kia looked at. Shocks maybe going south.
KIA's are pretty good aren't they, any problem getting parts? Thanks and please do get to that U.of M. site,I know you will be amazed. My wife plays that CANDY CRUNCH and says pass on that she doesn't pay the 99 cents charge;she keeps playing until she gets to where they ask for the money and doesn't pay. Within a few days they send a message that new levels have been added at no charge. I went to U.of M. on my lap-top;she plays Candy Crush on her i Pad. t.t.f.n.

I first read this military history/biography of Caesar quite some time ago, and recently finished re-reading it. Dodge's ancient histories (he's written similar books about Alexander and Hannibal) are amongst my favourites. There's a great level of detail, with maps and sketches of soldiers, siege equipment and so on throughout.
This is not a full-blown biography. It's concerned almost exclusively with the military career of Caesar. Obviously there's also some political overlap, such as when he and Pompey had a bit of a tiff, but only when that relates to the military aspect of the subject. As you would expect, the meat of the book is the Gallic and Civil Wars (the latter including sojourns in Spain, the Balkans/Greece, Alexandria and Africa) with a few side-orders (such as the swift spanking of Pharnaces II).
Th author is clearly enthusiastic about his subject, and had the opportunity to visit the theatres of Caesar's wars. This helps him to reconcile potential conflicts in ancient sources, Caesar's own accounts foremost amongst them, as well as providing an opportunity for maps and sketches of the landscapes upon which battles, marches, and sieges occurred. It must be said that Dodge sometimes gets a bit carried away (he really does like the three ancient generals about which he wrote) but that doesn't stop him criticising when he feels Caesar's been a daft sod (most of the general's great successes are only great because he thrust himself needlessly into peril and it took significant skill to extricate himself).
Caesar's reckless conduct gets pulled up several times, but this is far outweighed by successes achieved all over Europe. And, alongside the recklessness, audacity enabled some of the signal victories, most notably at Pharsalus, where he attacked an army twice his size.
It's also worth remarking upon an episode that doesn't fit the popular narrative of Caesar, namely his brutality. Specifically, killing around 430,000 Germanic people whilst the tribe was conducting peace negotiations with him. The book was written pre-WWII, and Dodge uses the term holocaust to describe Caesar's actions (the man himself claimed the Germanic tribe was plotting to betray him so he struck pre-emptively. Dodge is not persuaded).
In addition to the history of Caesar, there is much information on the Roman army and how it had changed over the centuries, particularly from its peak in the Second Punic War. There's also a splendid chapter near the end comparing Caesar, Alexander and Hannibal in a variety of ways.
It's a hefty 800 pages but the text is often broken up by drawings, so it's not quite as dense as it might appear. Overall, an engaging portrayal of one of history's most intriguing figures.

BC: Brin, David. "David Brin's Official Web Site." David Brin's Official Web Site. 2001. Web. 03 May 2011.
FC: David Brin | Research Project by Cody Tate
1: David Brin was born in Glendale, California, in 1950. | His father was Herb Brin.
2: David went to college at California Tech, and graduated in 1973 with a Bachelor's in Science. | From 1973 to 1977, David worked as a research engineer in semiconductors and CCDs for Hughs Aircraft Research Labs.
3: He also went to the University of California in San Diego from 1975 to 1977 to achieve his Masters Degree in Optics.
4: David was the managing editor for the Journal of the Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition at UCSD from 1980 to 1981. | In 1981 he then went back to UCSD and got his Doctorate in in Philosophy, he majored in Space Physics.
5: He taught Physics and Writing at San Diego State University from 1982 to 1985, as well as working as an Associate/Post-Doctoral Fellow at the California Space Institute at UCSD in La Jolla, California.
6: In 1988 David worked as a visiting scholar for the Center for Study of Evolution of Life, as well as working in the Jet Propulsion Lab and being a NASA NSCORT for Exobiology, and worked in these places until 1990.
7: From 1990 and on he has been a Keynote speaker and consultant for over a hundred government and corporate groups.
8: David has published over 13 novels, most of them being Science Fiction. | His most popular ones are in the Uplift saga.
9: One of his novels, The Postman, was turned into a movie. Kevin Costner had directed the film. Fans of the novel did not seem to think that it represented the book well.
10: Exerpt from Startide Rising: "Jacob shook his head and grunted. "Oderint Dum Metuant." Let them hate, so long as they fear. So what if a person has lived in a town his entire life. If he hasn't got the vote, he's got to move out of the way when progress comes along. Tijuana, Honolulu, Oslo, and half a dozen other cities were to be included when the E.T. Reserves expanded again. Fifty or sixty thousand Probationers, both permanent and temporary, would have to move to make those cities "safe" for perhaps a thousand aliens. The actual hardship would be small, of course. Most of Earth was still barred to E.T.'s, and non-Citizens still had plenty of room. The government offered large reparations as well. But once again there were refugees on Earth."
12: David has been given many awards for his novels, most of them being Nebula awards and Hugo awards. | A lot of his books have become New York Times Bestsellers as well.
13: When he isn't publishing novels, David likes to go onto radio broadcasts and tv shows, and state his opinion on aliens. He has a thing for the possibility of other life being out there.
14: What makes David Brin so unique, is that he adds an ounce of realism into his fiction novels. Another thing is that he likes to add a bit of humor in what he's talking about, especially when he is on TV or radio.
15: David currently keeps track of his blog site, Contrary Brin, quite often. He posts a new article from what I've seen as at least once a week.

The guys (Nick Nelson, Matt Tait, Jesse Newell) give their takes on some summer KU topics. Will KU football finish in the top half of the Big 12 North? Will Johnathan Wilson lead the team in receptions? Will Mario Chalmers thrive with the star-studded Miami Heat? Which is better, Monday Night Football or Big Monday? The guys talk about this while also mixing talk about puppets of NBA players.
Off topic, but isn't that what the Spodcasters is all about? Anyway, have there been any rumblings that KU might have contacted Kevin Pritchard about the AD position?
Thanks guys. I always enjoy these.

Kobudo is the art of traditional weapons training. There are six farming and fishing tools which were used as weapons in Okinawa: the bo, nunchaku, sai, tonfa (tuifa), kama and eku.
Many students like the versatility of weapons training. Many like to compete in tournaments. Some train in kobudo to broaden the martial arts experience. Most students who train in the art of kobudo agree that it is unique and enjoyable.
The bo is considered to be the quintessential Okinawan weapon and has varying lengths from six to nine feet in length. The rokushaku-bo (6 foot staff) is the weapon used most commonly and is extremely effective due to length and maneuverability. One can see a great deal of links in the movements within bo kata to empty-hand methods and a concrete understanding of karate helps the techniques with the bo.
This weapon can have two to three pieces of wood connected by thread, cord, chain or horsehair. It was used in Okinawa as a thresh and also as a horse bridle. It has origins in China as well as the Philippines and has been popularized a great deal from motion pictures. They are common today in many areas of Southeast Asia being used in agriculture. They are not practiced with the flash used in movies but use specific strikes and blocks with not a great deal of turning or flashy twirling. These types of motions are found in kihon(basics) and not so much found in application.
Thought to have originated from China and or Taiwan, the sai were employed by local authorities as an effective means of restraining and or striking. It was not uncommon for one or more sai to have been concealed to replace one that had been thrown at an opponent. Some say that the sai was a pitchfork, which is ridiculous. The sai has always been a weapon having never been adapted from farming implements or tool use.
The tonfa's use came from being the handle for a millstone grinder and was a very effective weapon for defense. It could be twirled by the handle or flipped upside down to be use for hooking a weapon and then striking with the grip-head. The tonfa has been adapted by law enforcement in the form of the PR-24 however, creators of this adaptation claim that it has no tie to the tonfa. Interesting that one of the creators, before he was in law enforcement, was a marine and spent time on the island of Okinawa.
The kama has long had it's place in agriculture in the east and was not a foreign visitor to the Ryukyu islands. Farmers have used and continue to use kama to cut sugar cane, pineapples and other crops native to the islands. They may be found in most hardware stores today in Okinawa and are available in different shapes and weights. The kusarigama is an attachment of a rope or chain to either the handle or reinforcement ring of the blade. This adaptation increase the danger of this already risky weapon and should be practiced with utmost seriousness and slow speed. Dull blades don't hurt either.
Still use in the Dragon Boat Races in Okinawa, the eku is another weapon that is truly an Okinawan treasure. Used in a similar manner as the bo, the eku employs the use of cutting with the edge of the blade and the thrusting of the saki or tip. One commonly used technique is the throwing of sand into the eyes of an opponent. In some kata, such as Akahachi no eku, there is a kicking of sand with the feet followed by a reverse strike with the butt of the oar. Legend has it that this weapon was used against attackers by fisherman and was effective against the katana.

"Our children" are routinely trotted out (sometimes with sincerity) as public relations tools to sell various agendas politicians and interest groups push. Nothing brings out transparent exploitation like drugs. The semi-legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington spawned moralizing by both sides so cynical it bordered on callous.
Attorney General Eric Holder's memo listed the administration's first concern as the prevention of marijuana's availability and appeal to youth. What charlatanism. An administration truly concerned about drug policies' effects on youths would be urgently reassessing its own War on Drugs.
The Drug War's mass arrest and imprisonment regime has been accompanied by unprecedented explosions in drug abuse, violence, and crime—the predictable result of the National Drug Control Strategy's emphasis on punishing users while neglecting addiction. Illicit-drug abuse deaths now top 40,000 per year, led by middle-agers (2,000 among ages 40-64 in 1980; 21,500 in 2010). Teens show fewer but also increased drug fatalities (250 in 1980, 900 in 2010).
The official response to the rising tens of thousands of dead parents, grownups, and youths under their failed policies? Mainly, another frivolously dishonest campaign by the White House, Partnership at Drugfree.org, and obsequious reporters to blame kids stealing medications for an opiate-death epidemic the Centers for Disease Control admits is inconveniently centered in white middle-agers.
Rhetoric by marijuana legalization advocates also has been bizarrely exploitative. The NAACP's Benjamin Jealous recited a common myth concocted by legalizers: if marijuana is regulated "like beer," teens will find marijuana "harder to get."
That's both immaterial and false. Surveys for 40 years consistently show teens find legal drugs easier to get and actually use than illicit drugs. The 2013 Monitoring the Future survey is typical: 39% of 8th graders find marijuana "easy or very easy to get," compared to 56% for alcohol; nearly twice as many drink alcohol as smoke pot.
American alcohol regulation is a deadly disaster, not a model. Federal fatality data show that every year, drunken, over-21 adults kill 800 teenagers and children and injure 80,000 more in a quarter-million traffic crashes. Adults' drinking is the fifth leading cause of death to teens.
Perpetuating America's tradition of leniency toward privileged groups and their drugs, Washington's initiative allows adults to drive with marijuana levels more than twice the recognized safety limit. Washington's first year of legalization brought increased marijuana-related traffic crashes, led by a 48-year-old driver who admitted to "smoking a bowl" before killing a pedestrian.
Both sides, deploying expedient non-science, ignore and rationalize adult excesses while dispensing useless propaganda haranguing teens to abstain. Strangely, they omit the best strategy: adults (especially parents) pushing teenage abstinence should abstain from drinking and drugs themselves, which sharply reduces the odds of their teens indulging. We grownups don't care that much.
Meanwhile, draconian underage drinking laws arrest 300,000 teens every year. Marijuana legalizers rightly lament the harsh effects marijuana arrests inflict on young people. Then, their "reforms" continue to harshly criminalize marijuana use by those under 21, half of all marijuana possession arrestees. If marijuana is legalized for adults like alcohol, one in four total arrests of Americans under age 21 will be simply for possessing otherwise legal substances.
American drug policy largely consists of cyclical crusades demonizing whatever out-group—Chinese, Catholic immigrants, Mexicans, urban minorities, gay men, African Americans, teenagers—is most feared and safest to attack at any moment. Children and teens have always been pawns to subsidize drug-war interests on one side and adult partying on the other. The young are being forced to pay an unacceptable price for grownups' selfish indulgences.
Decades of planned failure underlie Americans' singular inability to handle drugs whatever their status—legal (alcohol), semi-legal (pharmaceuticals), or illegal (street drugs). World Health Organization tabulations indicate Americans' rate of drug and alcohol overdose fatality is six times higher than other Western nations'. Our drug crises create global perils.
Obscured by all the bad policy schemes is California's distinctly constructive 2011 reform reducing marijuana use by all ages to a rarely enforced infraction. Did teens afforded de facto legal marijuana go crazy? Hardly. Crime, hard drug arrests, school dropout rates, and related ills plunged to record lows among California youth in 2011 and 2012.
America can build on California's success. Drug policy should focus on promoting responsibility toward alcohol and marijuana for adults and teenagers alike, not criminalizing mere use. That's how to "care about children."
