Bella, I really wish there was a coupon---even better, I wish there was a coupon that worked on clearance and preowned. I guess that is too much to ask for these days. There are some things in preowned I might have bought if I had a coupon that worked like the good old days.

I did not get anything in the big sale. I had to pay full price for my Moissy bracelet and Morganite Ring, so I am pretty done for now.

Gem Week starts Friday at ShopNBC. I am sure I will be tempted by all the new goodies from Michael V. and Chuck. I hear Michael V is going to have a huge Rose de France ring. He also has more charms for his bracelets/necklaces. Chuck's daughter is launching a line of her own on Sunday night.

Bella, the collection at ShopNBC for Chuck's Daughter is called Kellie Anne. That's her name. It started with 8 mm stud earrings in 14kt. It looks like all of the new line is in silver. Mostly mystic topazes in various colors. In the original earrings, there were non-coated stones like London blue topaz and peridot and garnet. I hope some of those stones make it into the new line, too.
I can't stand the $10 or $15 off stuff. It doesn't even work unless it's on the regular priced stuff. Shipping of $7 eats that almost all up.
I do like the new opals. I think they are almost sold out.

Bella, he is going to see if he improves and his breathing gets better then he will know it was the pollen, if not then it would probably be congestive heart failure, which of course I pray not.

We had bad storms over night. Several families in my state lost their homes. Now it is cold here and a strong north wind.
That bracelet is from KTV. I bought it in 2007. When it broke, the clasp had gotten tangled in the back setting of one of the citines. When it broke, I was trying to put it on and caught the citrine and the piece of gold that broke off.
Bella, does your husband take anything for his allergies? I have asthma and take Singulare. I have a prescription nasal mist and if all else fails, I have albuterol. I haven't felt well today. Dizzy and tired all day! I don't feel like eating tonight and am going to get ready for bed at 7:20.

Those poor people in TX. Their homes blown up like that by the explosion? I hope that wasn't a terror attack. It sure did the damage of a huge bomb.

I am trying to decide if I should get one of the Top Value Charm sets at ShopNBC. I have several Michael Valitutti rings and pendants. They are made really well, so I am guessing his charms would be made the same way. I like the variety of colors and shapes, too. Hmm....
Check out the crosses on ShopNBC. Dallas Prince does some big ornate ones, if you are interested.

I finally received my passport in the mail. I set my surgery date with Tania Medina for July 22nd. I will arrive in DR on July 21st and I am traveling alone. I'm very nervous cause I've never been outside of the US, and of all things I'm about to have surgery. I will be staying at My Home Recovery. I'm scared to get the tummy tuck but after taking front and back photos of myself last night, I'm going to put my big girl panties on and get it over with...lol I will also be getting Lipo and a BBL. Is there any one planning to have surgery around July 22nd that would like to be a travel companion?

I finally received my passport in the mail. I set...
Pre-Transformation Photos
I am extremely embarrassed to share these selfies, but I want to share my before as well as my after photos so you can see Dr. Medina's skill set. I'm going to "TRY" to loose about 20 pounds before I get there. I'm currently 5'7, weighing 202 pounds. Don't laugh..I know that I look like Spongebob when I'm naked...lol Hopefully I'll look like Jessica Rabbit when she's finished with me. :)
Surgery Preparation and Back-end Expenses...
Of course my mind is racing with questions so I've been communicating with Dr. Medina's assistant all day today via Whats App. She has been very prompt and helpful in answering my questions. I never traveled outside of the country and my phone will not work in Dominican Republic. I was worried about how I would contact my family beings I'm traveling alone. She told me that they have phones at the recovery house that I can use and they also have wifi. I'm unsure if I will be billed for making international calls but I'll be sure to ask how that works tomorrow. I was emailed a list of things that I need to bring on the trip. All together I spent about $350 on everything on the list. I was also wondering what other expenses I have to prepare for, and she gave me a list totaling to $1500 in extra cost.
Recovery House (10 days) $750.00
Transportation $100.00
Medical Insurance $150.00
Medication $230
Massages (10) $250.00

Expense Correction...
I misunderstood Dr. Medina's assistant. I spoke with Dr. Medina this morning via Whatsapp and she said that my quote of $5350 includes my tummy tuck, lipo on my back, flanks, and waist, recovery stay, and transportation. How awesome is that? :) The only extra expenses will be medical insurance, medication, and massages. I am going to ask my doctor if she can write my prescriptions here. Hopefully she will because it will definitely save me some money.
These Are My Desires... You can do Dra. Medina, You can do it...lol
This is my wish list and what will truly make me happy. First....I want a neat incision. I've seen a lot of online photos of sloppy work. I was hesitant to get the tummy tuck because of the scar. Dra. Medina says I need it because my skin is saggy, so I'm going to go through with it because I trust that she'll do a great job. Second... I want my ass to be so phat that you can see it from the front...pow..lol Third... I want my back and waist to be snatched to the maximum. These are my desires... :)
Today I received my supplies and I am oh so excited! I ordered them from Vitality Medical and Walmart. I ordered my lipo foam and lipo board from Ebay. I'm 10 weeks from my surgery date but I want to be well prepared so I'm packing now. I even took the advice from another Medina Doll and went to the bank to get $1 and $5 for easy purchases. I also took an extra step and printed a pocket currency converter. I had it laminated to carry around with me in case I need it. The only thing I'm waiting on is my Go Girl urinal which is on back order. If any of you experienced dolls have any other supply suggestions, please don't hesitate to tell me what would make an easier recovery.
My Home Recovery
A few girls have asked where I will be staying after my procedure. I will be staying at My Home Recovery house. I went to there web page and booked my reservation. I was sent a confirmation email with instructions on how to send the $75.00 deposit to secure my room. If any of you ladies are considering other options, you can email Dra. Medina for a list of recovery house options to choose from. If any of you ladies are staying at My Home during the week of July 21st, give me a shot out. We'll probably be room mates! :)

Let's see how many dolls are scheduled for July, and who our potential roommates may be. If you know which recovery house you'll be staying at please post. Maybe we can get an idea of who our roommates will be, and possibly find travel companions. #Team Medina :)
The Countdown!
Time is passing by so fast. I looked at the calendar and realized that I'm only 23 days away from the big day. I'm nervous in every aspect of the word but yet so excited. If been seeing some wonderful results from you ladies that have shared your recent journeys, and I thank you all for sharing your experiences. Your experiences have been really helpful, and I hope mine will be helpful to a future doll. I'm just praying that I have safe travels, no complications during surgery, and beautiful results. It's getting real!
Tourist Card
I received my tourist card in the mail today. All citizens from the U.S will need one upon entering the DR. You can purchase the tourist card when you get off the plane, or you can avoid standing in line by purchasing it online at www.dgii.gov.do/Tturistaweb/. The cost is only $10.00.
Checked in to Cecilip
Well I'm here I made it to Cecilip and showtime is in the morning. Although my phone service does not roam in the Dominican Republic, I am able to video chat with my kids through OoVoo, and call them on whatsapp, as long as I'm connected to wifi, so that relieved my stress about communication. Dra. Medina's driver also has wifi in his car so you can reach out to family at all times. I'm really exhausted and nervous. Keep me in your prayers and I will post an update as soon as I can.
I'm a Medina Barbie Doll
Sorry for the late update. The Wifi at Cecilip wasn't good in my room. I have been out of it and in much pain but Dra. Medina did her thing. She took out 7 liters of fat and my scar is so pretty. I've been in so much pain that I've hardly taken any pictures. Tomorrow if I'm walking better, I will try to do better with the photos. I had to have a blood transfusion so I just made it My Home Recovery today. I will update softer a little rest.
Sneak peak
This is a sneak peak of my results. I'm very bruised and swollen, but I see a major difference. I'm really uncomfortable today, so I'm paying Karmin to come out again later tonight to massage me before I go to bed. At first the massages were excruciating. I would literally grab their hands and cry but now I crave them although they're uncomfortable. I feel way better once it's over. I promise to take better pics in due time but this recovery is no joke. Thanks for all the support, prayers, and recovery wishes.
Finally made it home!!!
Got back home yesterday evening. I had to come back with my drains because I am still leaking a lot of fluid. I drained way more fluid than any other girl that was in the recovery house, but the doctor says that its normal because she removed a lot of fat. Yesterday I drained about 700 cc altogether, which is a little less than what I'd been putting out for the past week. I'm now in the process of finding a post op masseuse that specializes in lymphatic drainage to help me get the rest of the fluid out of my body. I will also have to check around to see who will remove the drains here in Atlanta. If heard a few girls say that they had a hard time finding someone to do it for them. I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I'm really tired today cause I didn't get much sleep last night. I was very uncomfortable not being in a hospital bed. Anywho..I'ma take a nap and write a more detailed review of my experience when I wake up.
Loving My Incision..Very Nice Work!!
Dra. Medina did a very nice job with my incision which was very important to me cause I've seen some sloppy work. I am very happy with the results. I hope it stays this pretty cause its all that I wanted.
Drain and Removal
The more fat that you have removed the more you will drain. I had to fly back with my drains because I had a lot of fluid. Today is day 14 and I am still draining 100cc within a 24 hour period. Before you have surgery make sure that you have a surgeon that is willing to help you remove your drains in the states because most will not. They say that it's a liability because they didn't put it in. If money and time allows, stay in DR until you're ready to have it removed. Thank goodness that Dra. Medina knew someone here in Atlanta to help me because I was turned away by a few. Even my own PC wouldn't do it. Anywho...Dr. Salinas is charging me $300 to remove my drain. Although I'm am draining more fluid than 50 cc, he recommends that I remove it today because my fingers are going numb and he doesn't want infection to set in. He said that anytime you feel body changes it needs to come out. I'm really nervous but looking forward to it coming out. My appointment is at 5 pm. God willing I will update and tell how it goes. Pray for me!!!
Drain Is Finally Gone!!!
Dra. Medina referred me to Dr. John Salinas to remove my drain. He did an ultrasound to check for fluid and he said that my drain was ready to come out. He noticed that my incision was looking a little red in one area so he did a blood test to check for infection and for safe measures he put me on Bactrim antibiotic for 3 days until we get the results on Friday. If I have infection he will give me a longer duration of meds at that time. He put 2 staples to close the area where the drain came out and I will follow up with him on Monday. He told me that I can go ahead and take a shower but to make sure I dry the incision well and continue to clean as directed. I thought it was going to hurt when he removed my drain, but it really wasn't bad at all. It was a slight burning sensation for a few seconds and it was over. I feel so much better now that it's gone. I'm still not standing up all the way straight tho although it's getting better. I guess my muscle repair is really tight. Anywho... if you are located in the Atlanta area and you have to come back with your drains, Dr. Salinas's number is (678) 969-9920 and (404) 992-9130. He charges $300.00 for drain removal.
3 Weeks Post Op
Hello ladies. I am 2 days shy of being 3 weeks post op and I still can't stand up straight. Dra. Medina says that it will get better with time. I am a little concerned because I have a hard lump in my upper abdomen above my navel, and it's still sensitive. She said to give it some time because it hasn't been long since my surgery, so I guess I'll have to be patient and see if it gets any better. I haven't been able to wear my 2nd stage faja because the one that I got from Dra. Medina was wayyyyy to small for me. I didn't get my 2nd stage faja until the night before I left. When I got it, I told them that it was too small. The faja package says size 38 Medium, but they argued me down that it was really an extra large so I said ok whatever. I don't even know how Annie was able to get it on my body but she stuffed me in it. By the time I got off the plane, my legs were damn near the size of my thighs, it was cutting into the crease of my vagina, and my vagina was three times the normal size. I took it off as soon as I got home and went back into my stage 1. Ever since then my vagina swells on one side, even in my stage 1 faja. I try to give myself a break for at least an hour after I shower, but I have to wear something, so my poor vagina has been suffering. I ordered another 2nd stage faja from Amazon, but they sent me the wrong style and size, so now I have to send it back and wait again. I had ordered a faja with a zipper before I had surgery, but Dra. Medina doesn't like to use zippers and I understand why, the ones with the hooks are indeed better for tummy tucks. However, tonight I had to make the one with the zipper work because the hooks on my stage 1 are jacked up from wear and tear. So tonight I put on a full back waist cincher that I already had laying around the house. I put my lipo foam underneath it, and then I put on the zippered faja over the cincher. I'm really swollen, especially around my incision area. I look puggy instead of flat. At first I could see my vagina when I looked down, but not so much right now. Hopefully the cincher and faja reduces my swelling. I noticed that I can stand up a little straighter with the 2nd stage faja on. It supports my back which is a big relief because walking slumped over has been harsh on my lower back. My body is still very sore, but I'm coming along. My body feels lumpy and hard from all the lipo, but I guess it's normal. This has definitely been a process. It has taken a toll on my body physically and mentally. I can't wait until I'm feeling normal again, and I hope my final results is well worth the process.
Infection On My Incision. :(
I noticed a small area of drainage in the middle of my incision. As I said before I'm really swollen and puggy so I couldn't see it by looking down there. I used a handheld mirror to check it out and noticed a small hole in my incision. I went to Urgent Care and they put me back on Clindamycin. He also gave me Bactrim and a topical Clindamycin as well. I'm really bummed cause my incision was nicely done. I've done my best to take care of it, so I don't know where I went wrong. Hopefully the antibiotics work and I heal well.
5 Weeks Post Op and Loving My Results...
Well ladies here are some before and after photos, so you can see the difference in my shape. So far I've only lost a total of 9 pounds since surgery but the results looking drastic to me..lol I had so much fat that I need to go in for a round 2, so I can to get where I want to be. I'm going to let my body heal from round 1, and work on building my hemoglobin back to where it needs to be. It's been 5 weeks and I still have some tenderness. I get really stiff everywhere that I had lipo, but once I'm up and moving around, I feel much better. This recovery has been no joke but I'm loving my results thus far. Can't wait to see what Medina does for me with round 2. She assured me that round 2 will give me wayyy better results, so I will let my body decide the time. Anywho..I will try to keep you ladies updated, as I was told that my final results will show 6 months from my surgery date. Until next time, be brave and inspired! Xoxo
Dra. Medina is a caring doctor. She went above and beyond to take care of me while in the Dominican Republic and I'll forever be grateful. I am in love with my results. She really sculpted my body and I instantly saw a major change in my shape. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery cause I can't wait to see my final results. Tania Medina is awesome!

Justin Bieber is in love
Vanessa Hudgens filming Spring Breakers in St. Petersburg, FL (3/14)
If this somehow results in a vicious cat fight between Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez (preferably in a huge kiddie pool filled with pudding), Justin Bieber will become my new best friend in the whole entire world. From the National Enquirer:
Vanessa Hudgens, 23, co-stars with Selena Gomez, 19, in the upcoming movie "Spring Breakers," and insiders say "Baby" singer Justin, 18, flipped for Vanessa while visiting Selena during filming. "Justin spent a lot of time on the set in Florida during the late winter and early spring," said a source. "He was there to see Selena, but he wound up falling hard for Vanessa. He couldn't stop raving about how smart, sexy and talented she is. Plus, he loves the fact that Vanessa is like Selena, but minus the goody-two-shoes personality."
The two stuck up a friendship even though Vanessa is dating 20-year-old actor Austin Butler, and they've been secretly texting each other since "Spring Breakers" wrapped, said the source. "Their banter tends to get very suggestive," the source revealed. "A mutual friend told Selena about it, and she is freaked. Now Selena is threatening to dump Justin unless he cuts ties with Vanessa." (Print Edition – 5/12)
Buddies, I just don't know what to think anymore. Up is down and down is up, Pepsi Max tastes better than regular Pepsi, and Justin Bieber has his pick between Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens to plant his Canadian trouser mouse inside of. Suffering shitballs, why do I even bother to put the work in? I'm devilishly handsome, I can charm the girdles off of nuns, and I can do 20 cock pushups without breaking a sweat. What I can't do is sing or dance — clearly neither can Bieber, yet he's the one with the pick of the litter. "…he loves the fact that Vanessa is like Selena, but minus the goody-two-shoes personality." You know what that means, right? Not only does Vanessa have the ability to suck a football through a crazy straw, she'll totally let you in the back door. I believe she's what psychologists call a "good girl." I've had my say, I'm gonna go lay down and cry myself to sleep. Fuck you, Bieber.

Under your preferred model, where the immutable configuration instance is only available to the pool/factory instances, how would you recommend going about achieving runtime mutability of a pools configuration values (both via JMX and programmatically)? I must be missing something....=) > +1 for MBean exposing properties. See my last post on what properties > should be mutable. > > Looks great! I think if we can hash out the mutability aspects, JMX implementation would be quite easy. Something I have been considering is the how to represent multiple pools in a JVM. I'm thinking we'll need to add an additional optional configuration value "poolName" (or something similar) so the MBean will be uniquely named and discoverable in the management agent/system. Since it would be optional, if one isn't provided it would default to a 1-up incremented name (ie. GOP-1, GOP-2...) Regards, S

New Vehicle Lineup at Hoffman Auto Group
New Vehicle Lineup at Hoffman Auto Group
Actual rating will vary with options, driving conditions, habits and vehicle condition.
The standard features of the Audi R8 5.2 V10 include 5.2L V-10 540hp engine, 7-speed auto-shift manual transmission with overdrive, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS), integrated navigation system, side seat mounted airbags, driver and passenger side airbag head extension, driver and passenger knee airbag, airbag occupancy sensor, automatic air conditioning, 19" forged aluminum wheels, cruise control, ABS and driveline traction control.
Starting at: $175,100
|City/Hwy mpg
|5.2 V10 Search New
|540-hp 5.2L 10-cyl
|7-spd auto with auto-shift
|14 / 22
With Audi's Dynamic Select modes, the character of the car is flexible and versatile. In Comfort or Auto, it's relaxed and very easy to drive. The S Tronic dual-clutch gearbox makes shifts that are perfect for everyday driving. There's always power to spare, linear and constant, not arriving with a burst, like a turbocharged or supercharged car.
In Dynamic or Performance (which shuts off the traction control) mode, the R8 is ready for the track, ready for a top speed of 199 mph for the V10 and 205 mph for the V10 plus.
In Dynamic mode, the throttle response is quicker and so are the gearshifts; the dual-clutch transmission also holds the R8 in each gear for a longer time.
We've only gotten to drive a V10 Plus pre-production car. First thing you notice, after the brute acceleration (0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds will push your eyeballs back into your skull), is that the big carbon ceramic brakes can stop the car in such a short space that your eyeballs will pop back out. But they demand a light touch on the street.
Our pre-production R8 had the available active dynamic steering, which is quick and precise, but felt too light to us.
Approaching a corner, turn-in response is quick. If you enter a turn too quickly the R8 will understeer, and if you accelerate too hard through the turn it will oversteer, all as it should be. In a medium- or high-speed turn, grip of the Pirelli P Zero tires feels limitless, although of course it's not, and if you believe it is you'll come to grief. But if they do give up traction, as they did on us, the R8 recovers with relative neutrality and obedience. No matter the situation, the cornering limits are higher thanks to the all-wheel drive.
The supercar profile is low, cab forward, coupe roof arcing from the windshield to the carbon-fiber rear spoiler that raises at speed. The new R8 is 1.6 inches wider at the shoulders, with emphasis on its horizontal lines. The carbon-fiber side blades are now two pieces rather than one, and serve as air intakes.
The grille is a flat and wide three-dimensional trapezoid that flows into wedge-shaped LED headlamps. At the rear, LED taillamps match the shape of the headlamps.
The V10 Plus also has carbon fiber front and rear diffusers and black exhaust outlets.
The R8 interior is among the finest in its class. The materials are Audi quality with impeccable fit and finish. The sport seats are comfortable and supportive, with adjustable bolstering. The racing buckets in the V10 Plus are thinner, and thus allow more legroom, but the seatbacks don't adjust. Both seats are fairly upright, affording good visibility through the windshield. Rearward visibility is poor thanks to the steep low roofline.
The V10 Plus has leather seats and dashboard, carbon fiber trim, aluminum pedals, and an Alcantara headliner. The stitching on the doors and dashboard is in black and the color of the body.
The cabin is small but comfortable, and roomy enough for two people in front, but not storage of much stuff. Even the front trunk is only big enough for a couple of overnight bags.
The 2017 R8 brings Audi's new virtual cockpit, with a 12.3-inch screen in the instrument panel that keeps most of the controls directly in front of the driver, counting the steering-wheel switches. The screen is configurable to the information the driver chooses to see, while a button on the steering wheel allows viewing of things like the Google Earth navigation.
The virtual cockpit can still be controlled by the MMI on the center console, but passengers can't access the sound system. Also, the screen is easy to see but in some cases it only shows one function at a time, so for example you can't multi-task with navigation and radio.
The Audi R8 supercar brings its own qualities into the game against McLaren, Mercedes, Porsche, Corvette, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and the discontinued Viper. They're all worthy, so the call is up to you. However, we're inclined to say wait for the upcoming R8 with a smaller turbo engine.
Sam Moses contributed to this report, with driving impressions by The Car Connection.
Audi R8 comes standard with Nappa leather upholstery, black Alcantara headliners, heated power sport seats, LED interior lighting, Audi's MMI Plus with Navigation infotainment system, magnetic ride damper control, 19-inch alloy wheels, and V10 engine.
The V10 Plus adds racing bucket seats and carbon ceramic brakes, and cuts the magnetic ride dampers in favor plain old shocks and springs, because they are stiffer.
Racy options include active dynamic steering with variable assist and variable ratios, and 20-inch wheels.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Field Day Training In Big Bear City
Posted by Mike Evans | Monday, September 12, 2011 | Community, Current News, Fire/Safety |
Big Bear City, CA, September 12, 2011, 3:00pm– On Saturday, September 10th, 2011, the Big Bear Valley Community Emergency Response Team, CERT, conducted a five hour training exercise at the CSD Paradise Yard in Big Bear City to implement their training knowledge. The training included three scenarios: conduct a search and rescue of a victim within a steel building in the dark; damage assessment of houses and buildings; and the proper use of a compass with a scenario to report to their Command Center. The main objective of the field day was to test the communication abilities of members and their knowledge of the communication process used by CERT. Field teams communicated information by FSR radios or by Ham radio back to their Division Leaders, who then relayed that information to the Command Center. The Command Center had a copy of all the scenarios to check the accuracy of the reporting from the CERT members. It was "a very successful" training exercise according to CERT Secretary Yomar...Read More

TERRABLOCK SolutionFacilitating PC/Mac Harmony
TERRENCE CURREN OF ALPHA DOGS told me that when they began to look at large storage solutions that would be able to evolve with the studio's quickly growing media demands, Unity was one of the options they considered. They quickly decided that it was really cost prohibitive for the limited opportunities it would give them. An alternative was the Apple XSAN, but the ability to plug-and-play wasn't there. Another solution which was on par with these solutions was Terrablock. It offered the ability to quickly grow with their needs, and allowed them to manage everything in-house effortlessly.
Because Alpa Dogs cuts on both Avid and Final Cut, and their shop operates both on Macs and PCs, the SAN had to be able to perform across both platforms seamlessly. Terrance remarked that there isn't any problem moving specific jobs around the facility.
File level sharing is simple, which makes each individual bay work fluidly with the others. Partitioning the drives to make way for more room is easy enough, and has become somewhat standard - as clients decide to incorporate more HD versions and source material to their projects.
Now, because Mac OSX allows reading of NTFS, there are no cross-platform issues when it comes to the Windows formatted drives. This opens up more opportunities for clients as well.
Alpha Dogs has started to use Apple's Color application to color grade HD footage. Final Cut editors, graphics bays and the colorist's suite all have access to the Terrablock stored material, so tweaks and revisions can be made at a moment's notice.
There are two different types of fragmentation that a SAN could face, in the XSAN files are written to different parts of the disk, and get scattered on the server. Because the file system is smaller and easier to manage in the Facilis solution, files don't break up as much. Also, Facilis creates virtualization which allows for more than just making individual volumes - the data is randomly sprayed across the drive so that performance is more uniform, without peaking or bottoming out for individual users.
For Alpha Dogs, the future will definitely include more server space. This year they've seen projects with 4:4:4 source material, raw 4K footage from the RED Camera and enough HD footage to swamp any smaller system.
In Terrablock's version 3 release, a custom NAS is no longer required and more of the drives utility can be accessed easily through the desktop. With up to 250 virtual volumes per server and native file formats which include Windows, Mac and Linux available, Terrance remarked "We can do it all really easily - for any client - any media - and any format."

While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Dodge vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to fix your car or truck. Anyone who owns a Dodge knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do. It's not a regular occurrence that you realize that you have to buy a replacement A/C Condenser to repair your vehicle. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the vehicles on the road today.
We may take this for granted, but it wasn't until the 1950s that vehicles were equipped with reliable air conditioning. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the A/C condenser on your Dodge A100 acts like a radiator (it also looks like one) by cooling the refrigerant after it leaves the compressor, and then sends it to the drier and expansion valve. You will usually find your Dodge A100 A/C condenser mounted at the front of your vehicle near the radiator, because that is the best place for it to absorb the air stream as your car or truck moves down the road. If your A/C condenser has sprung a leak, then only mild or slightly cool air will blow into your interior because it is losing refrigerant.
When your Dodge needs a new replacement A/C Condenser, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Ordering new Dodge parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement A100 parts on the internet. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Dodge A100 A/C Condenser for your 1970, 1966, 1965, 1964 model.

How do i save money by paying an attorney and the immigration fees instead of just paying the immigration fees ...i am not sure how that work ,,could you please explain Thank you
Having an attorney will save you time ... avoiding the mistakes that you most-likely will make (unfortunately, the CIS/DOS websites are not as complete, nor accurate as you may think.)
And, as the saying goes "Time is Money."
The decision is yours ... good luck.

Swansea boss Michael Laudrup is ready to make a new £6million move for Bolton's midfield maestro Mark Davies.
The Welsh club tried and failed with a couple of bids for the former Wolves prospect at the start of the season - and now they plan to raid the Reebok next month.
Davies has had a decent campaign despite Bolton being stuck in the bottom half - and he scored a stunner against Ipswich at the weekend.
Wanderers blocked Swansea's attempts in the summer, but that attitude may change if they cannot force their way into the play-off picture in the next few weeks.
Boss Dougie Freedman is assessing his squad and if they do not improve he may need a sale to bring in a few players of his own.

I am looking to dabble in surf photography. I like to bodysurf and can handle swimming in decent sized waves. So taking pictures of folks surfing is the obvious next step, right? But, I am a cheap fuq, and do not want to drop a lot of coin on pricey camera gear.
What are my options?

Funny you post this today....I ran across my old Konica Minolta (220 film) water camera this weekend. I used it from Gromhood until the late 90s. Then, I used on a CR trip in the early 00s. I could not find a place to get film developed and had to mail it out. Last time I used.
I too am curious if you can get into it on the cheap....

"a lot of coin" could be mean different things....I would personally love to have a really solid water shooting setup. That could mean about $1500 for a decent Nikon or Canon DSLR (i.e D5300 or Rebel for about $500) and another $900 for a housing. Thats bare bones for getting into it for real. I'm cant justify it.
Obviously Go-Pros are one option. No idea what that costs...maybe $400? I dont like the fish-eye-lens look that much but friends of mine who have them get great and crisp shots and video from the water.
I love swimming out and shooting. I picked up a Olympus TG4 point and shoot for about $300 last a couple years ago and have gotten what i think are decent shots with it. I picked it because it gets good reviews, and shoots Raw images. You will find that shots from the water generally require post processing to look good....lighting, angle, contrast, and Raw files process much more effectively. I'll tell you though, shooting in the water with a point and shoot is frustrating. You miss a LOT of good shot opportunities for any number of reasons. These are shots with that Olympus:

I too am curious.
id imagine the most expensive thing would be the water housing,u don't need a 1500 camera,i have a 200$ camera and it takes just as good of a picture.doesnt shoot a 1000fps but I can get some nice pics.i never did it in the water tho.
don't let anyone tell u photography is hard lol,its not,its just point and shoot.u just have to shoot with the elements on ur side,u know the sunrise,sunset,yada yada.
iv been taking pictures for literally over 20 years,not buy a disposable take a few pics a few times a year,i always had the best cheapest model every year.i got old tv boxes full of 35mm pics,waves,sunsets,accidents,forest fires,a propane explosion lol.i never claim to be a photog or anything,i just always took pics since I was a little kid,one of my hobbies.so I see some 15yr old kid with $3k worth of equipment,takin pics and sellin em for 300.dont be that guy.
I wish u well in ur photo endeavors.
ps best water shots are from the bottom of the wave lookin up as someone pulls in da toob.them side angle shots on the shoulder are out dated,stand apart from the rest

Surf photography is dead for me. No interest.
How many times can you view the same thing over and over and over....ad nauseum.
Same angles, same locations, same surfers. Waste of energy.
But then again, that defines morons.

I too have an Olympus TG-4. I had a TG-2 prior to that one and they're a pretty cool little camera. I enjoy all types of photography and have lots of cameras so when I use these it's generally for water shots, snowboarding and hiking (only when I don't want to lug around a lot of camera gear or expecting rain) They take pretty good pictures and have proven to be durable. The only negatives would be the screen scratches very easily and sometimes it's tough to keep water off the "lens". I've bought two of them so I obviously think they're worth the money and they're relatively cheap. You can purchase extra lens too, a fisheye and an extended zoom. I got the extended zoom lens for the first camera but found I didn't use it as much as I thought. If I shoot from the beach I've got other cameras that do the job much better and when you're in the water you'll find you usually shoot closer wave pics. I'll post a pic of my set up and a few sample photos.
This was my first one with the extra lens and floater
