hi I recently was advised to use a red flag list so I could screen any potential bfs, I've had to many bad relationships in the past and a friend suggested doing this. Can you please tell me what a red flag list is, does it really work and how do you use it?
Most Helpful Guy
"Red flags" are signs, experiences in dating that you should take notice of since they point towards disastrous relationship qualities.
I'm sure you already have some too! It's just that gut feeling that something is wrong, the things you dislike in a man that you really want to avoid.
So it's not necessarily a written list, it's more of a mental checklist that you should be aware of so that you can quickly spot it and not waste your time or, hopefully not, put yourself in potential danger.
Hope this helps clear things up about red flags!20|20|0
thanks now I understand what red flags mean and it sounds like a safe way to make sure I'm more careful about my choices in relationships, I thank you for your advice.

Few aspects of home ownership are more misunderstood than the notion of a home improvement project. Fortunately, you can overcome these misconceptions by arming yourself with knowledge. As with anything else, home improvement jobs are simpler if you possess the proper information in advance. This article will give you some hints on how you can start out on your new renovation project.
Make sure you get your contractor to sign documents before they begin any project. If you can, have a lawyer review the contract before moving forward. Start and finish dates, warranty information, the work to be performed and the total cost should all be clearly spelled out in the contract.
Paint your old walls with coordinating stripes before installing paneling. You might have some old parts of the wall sticking through if you are putting up paneling. To minimize the effect, before you install the paneling measure off where the panels will meet. Paint strips on the wall using paint color which better matches the paneling color.
You can add some flare to your book case by putting some wall paper there. Select a unique and attractive design. Line the back of the bookcase with wallpaper for an added design flare when you place your books. Voila! You've got a quaint, one of a kind centerpiece to your room!
Ask for references from any contractor you hire. You will be allowing someone to come into your home and make changes; therefore, it is important to check them out thoroughly. Make sure you look at their previous work so you know what you will be dealing with.
It is quite simple to build your own replacement window screen. You can get a frame kit and cut it to fit any window. Then you just use cording and a simply, inexpensive tool to attach the screen. There are windows that take special screens, but external screens can be added to any one with adapters that are simple to attach.
Drain Snake
If you buy a drain snake, it can save some money. It will not be necessary for you to purchase drain cleaners so frequently in the future. If you have not used a drain snake before, ask a professional to show you how on your first project. Be sure your snake is the proper size for the drain or you may cause unnecessary damage.
As you've read, there's no improvement project that won't be easier when you have some good advice. The more knowledge you have, the easier the process becomes. Apply the tips in this article to help you get started on creating the home of your dreams.

"Terrible food, confusing menus, low staff levels."
About: Royal Free Hospital Royal Free Hospital London NW3 2QG
Posted by Anonymous
The food is absolutely awful, not even fit for pigs. and you often run out of basics like mash potatoe. Your steamed fish is like leather instead of the beautiful nutrucious food it should be. The menus are confusing for recently operated on patients and the elderly. Nutrition is so important for post operative patient but you would be better served sending out for a take away than eating your food. I overheard one brave nurse challenging the 'head of kitchen' on the quality of the food and the nurse was slapped down and told never to speak to the 'head of kitchen' again. A post operative lady down the ward from me is now diabetic as a result of the surgery and has no idea how to manage her condition. She has not been seen by a diet expert nor a diabetes doctor which I think is totally negligent of her consultant team. The next thing to happen to her will be discharge from hospital as I expect you will need the bed for some other unfortunate patient. I was an inpatient in Barnet Hospital last year and their catering service was amazing. You were given the menu the evening before and selected your dishes for each meal and although I was there for more than two weeks I always reveived my chosen meals and the food was of 3 star quality. I know all NHS hospitals have a daily allowance for each patient but you don't appear to manage it as well as Barnet. I have dicktated this message to a friend as I feel so strongly about this. I wish your reply to be seen by all visitors to the site so they know what to expect from your hospital.
Response from Royal Free Hospital 3 years ago
I am very sorry that you weren't happy with the food served. If you would like to take this further pleae contact our patient advice and liaison service at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I wrote a signed document to the lender to release the funds and that I would deal with the dissatisfaction directly with the contractor, however, they refused to release the funds even though I was pre-approved and that's the only reason why I agreed to the work in the first place. I was given no notice that this could happen when I signed the contracts. Can the contractor file a lien against my property?
Assuming the time limits are in order, of course it can lien your property.
This is a summary based on incomplete facts. You should not rely on it as legal advise. No attorney-client relationship is intended to be formed. You may call me 772-562-4570; email me email@example.com, or visit my website http://www.millerlawoffices.usAsk a similar question
I am not sure from your question that you and the lender ever had an agreement to lend money. If you do have a loan agreement, it will be spelled out exactly how funds can be disbursed. Normally a lender never does what you say because to do so may invite the lender to be sued for interference. Yes, there can be a lien filed, but your defense will be that the contract was breached due to poor construction. I would take your paperwork from the lender to a lawyer and have it reviewed.
This is not legal advice. Think of this as what you would recieve from a wise uncle. And remember, you have never believed everything your uncle told you either. With free advice you generally get what you pay for.Ask a similar question
If you have a loan agreement, that will spell out the lender's obligations regarding disbursement of the loan funds to the contractor and/or to you directly. Regardless of what that agreement provides, the simple answer is that if your contractor performed lien-able services on your home, it can lien for them within 90 days of last furnishing work on the property. If the contractor did not in fact perform the services liened for, or performed them improperly, you can raise that as a defense. You may have other defenses as well. You should have all paperwork regarding the loan and contract with your contractor reviewed by a construction attorney who can advise you on your rights and obligations regarding the lender and contractor.
Good luck.

How to reset the background image of the form?Asked by getformshere on July 16, 2016 at 12:07 PMJonathan,
I have cloned the following form https://www.jotform.com/?formID=61973742218158.
If you would make the changes on this form, I would be extremely happy.
I am also having problems in the design feature and have been unable to get the background image reset as well as the frame on the form.
JotForm Support
In the designer, you have to click the "Background Image" tab and remove/change the image in the area:
If you want to use a color instead, you have to access the "Color Scheme" tab and change the colors there. I tried this and it's working. If you're having some issues in the designer, check again your console for possible errors and report back to us with a screenshot.
I would also suggest checking your browser addons and make sure they are not blocking Jotform's resources. Also, check your Firewall for filters and whitelist Jotform there.
Thank You,
It looks like the problem was related to a single form.
JotForm Support
I have attempted to change the background of your form, I was able to do it. It looks you're having problems with our form builder. Can you check the console as originally suggested to see if there are errors?
I look forward to your reply.
I am now able to update the background.
JotForm Support
That's great to know. Please feel free to contact us back if you need help with anything else. We are always glad to be of assistance.

I didn't expect a lot for $30, but the costume is exquisite! Real feathers on the shoulders, good length on the dress and sleeves. I couldn't have had it made to fit any better than it does. A little smashed from packaging, but hanging up til October should fix that. I will definitely order my costume from Spirit online again. I will suggest it to my friends also.

Tilda Swinton is perfectly cast in this stylish movie, hailed by critics and audiences across the world, 'I Am Love' is a cinematic triumph
Release Date: 9 April 2010 (UK)
Director: Luca Guadagnino
Writer: Barbara Alberti (screenplay), Ivan Cotroneo
Cast: Tilda Swinton, Flavio Parenti, Edoardo Gabbriellini
Country: Italy
Language: English, Russian, Italian
Tilda Swinton is perfectly cast in this stylish movie, hailed by critics and audiences across the world, 'I Am Love' is a cinematic triumph. The story of a stupidly wealthy Italian family into which a Russian woman, Emma (Swinton) has now arrived into an ordered world of duty and protocol watching her own life from a distance.
But Fate brings her an unexpected love and her stultifying world is smashed open, allowing her the freedom to explore her sexuality and sensuality a world which she embraces with open arms. She falls into a passionate relationship with a young and handsome chef, her son's friend, bringing tribulation and discord to the family.
Swinton is wonderful as Emma, a convincing mother to her son and daughter and an actress who can make every emotion breathe from her pores without moving a muscle on her face. Initially, the character is somewhat unsympathetic as she swans around the screen in expensive, colourful clothes, leading what seems to be an expensive colourful lifestyle. The sort that most aspire to. But Swinton is skilled enough to reveal bit by bit the fragility of the character and makes us identify with the rich girl, as trapped by money and duty as anyone.
Director Luca Guadagnino is a master. In the early scenes his rapt attention to the minutiae of the splendour of the Recchi family's life seem at once to be excluding of the audience and self indulgently glorying in the beauty of the shot over storytelling but this is all part of a subtle set up that means we reach breaking point with that world at the same time that Emma does.
The family are revealed over the course of the story a being a disconnected mass, each individual wrapped up in their world to the exclusion of the others, cocooned in luxury. I won't go into details about the third act which is gloriously compelling and offers a satisfying resolution, you'll just have to see it! For those who might be looking for a fast paced love story, this isn't it, the storytelling is bold enough to take it's time, a throw back to a more confident cinema.
Cinematographer Yorick Le Saux deserves a shout for the camerawork is just beautiful, giving full use of the actors, the sets and the fantastic scenery, culminating in this being one of the best looking films this year. Highly recommended.
Hello and how is everyone doing?
Wow, I love love story movies and I can't wait until I see this one. I want to see if it is similar to the classic of a long time ago Love Story so I can't wait.
Thank you so much for this info!

Civil Engineering and Geosciences
Building affordable homes using local biowaste materials
People in rural India traditionally live in so-called 'mud houses', houses made of a blend of clay, sand and silt. This material is not water-resistant, and over time, rain causes the walls to crumble. Residents have to replaster their walls after each rainy season. There is currently no affordable alternative. However, with his TU Delft Global Research Fellowship, civil engineer Kulshreshtha hopes to see this change.
The Wadden Mud Motor project: making nature do the work
The tidal flats of the Wadden is where land and water meet. This natural environment has become familiar territory for researcher Bram van Prooijen and PhD Irene Colosimo, who both work at TU Delft's department of Hydraulic Engineering. It's where they are carrying out the Mud Motor project hoping it will provide them with the answer to a vital question: how to make nature work for us in such a way as to preserve the Wadden coast in a sustainable way.
Hot topic: Green Roofs
Green roofs are hot! Roofs completely covered in plants are becoming a familiar sight in our cities. After all, what's not to like? They offer a home to birds and insects, and because the plants hold on to moisture they cool down the city in summer. And, as an added bonus, it's clear for everyone to see you're doing your bit for the environment.
Leapfrogging towards sustainable palm oil
With palm oil being the most widely used vegetable oil in the world, the industry is likely to stay with us for the foreseeable future, despite its controversial reputation of pollution, deforestation and ignoring the needs of local communities. "The palm oil industry is only expanding, so doing nothing is not going to solve the problem," says Dr Ralph Lindeboom of the department of Sanitary Engineering.

1) First Light; 2) Metrognome; 3) Tell Me; 4) Highways Of The Sun; 5) Unevensong; 6) One Of These Early Days I'll Get An Early Night; 7) Elke; 8) Skylines; 9) Rain Dances.
At this point, members of the Progressive Club usually begin having reservations about Camel's alleged loyalty. Not only does this period initiate the break-up of the original band, as Doug Ferguson is replaced on bass by Richard Sinclair (formerly of Caravan) and ex-King Crimsonian Mel Collins is added on sax, but it also initiates the drift towards a more commercial sound, as experienced, first and foremost, on the lead single ʻHighways Of The Sun' — with its straightforward rhythmic punch, anthemic catchy vocal, and joyful-optimistic atmosphere. Actually, there is little to distinguish the song from contemporary arena-ready soft-rock; it could have been produced by anybody from Chicago to Styx, and it sure as hell did not need to be produced by Camel, a band to which sunny optimism comes as naturally as reggae comes to AC/DC.
However, outside of the radio-oriented single (which did not seriously chart anyway), Rain Dances is actually not that much of a sellout. More accurately, it is a somewhat blander, limper companion to the atmospheric soundscapes of Moonmadness, with a similar mix of symph-prog, pop, jazz-fusion, and ambience, only more flaccid hooks and an even stronger promise to never erupt from the cozy comfy background. Not even Brian Eno, when invited to contribute on the most ambient of the tracks, ʻElke', can do much to break the quiet, uninvolving pleasantness: he may have been concocting mindblowing sonic panoramas for Bowie at the same time, but for Latimer, he just dishes out a standard synth canvas that merely serves as support for Andy's lazy, pretty, unmemorable flute solo. Did they really need Brian for that one? Gee, I hope he at least got underpaid for this hackjob.
I think the only track here that consistently gets respect from «serious» fans is ʻUnevensong', because it, like, shifts keys and gears several times from beginning to end. But it sounds too fragile and fluffy for me to like it because of its energy, and too unfocused in any of its sections to like it because of its beauty or melodicity. Too much sunshine and not enough rain — too much tenderness that is not properly supported by outstanding hooks, and the dynamics is wasted, too, because the tricky time signature section in the middle, which the syncopated bass and the grumbly synthesizers would probably want to present as a disturbing counterpoint, is not played with enough feeling. In fact, very little on the album is played with enough feeling — you almost get the impression that the entire band was suffering from a severe vitamin deficit at the time.
The entire band shares credits on ʻOne Of These Early Days', a funky fusion track, almost bordering on disco in spots — with a series of keyboard, sax, and guitar solos that should qualify as «easy listening» (Latimer goes for a Santana kind of sound... but why?). Again, it is the kind of music that would be perfect as the theme for a mid-Seventies TV talk show, but it is pretty hard to acknowledge it as an actual work of art... and since pretty much the same goes for everything else here, I would like to just cut the review short and say that, of all Camel albums in the 1970s, this one is arguably the least essential — although the Progressive Club predictably rates it higher than Breathless, I profoundly disagree, because I by far prefer this band abandoning all progressive ambitions and going all-out pop than hanging in between, loosening and softening the complexity and energy of their music, but still refusing to make it catchy. Therefore, feel free to just skip Puddle Dances as a misguided transitional album, and see them reinvent themselves with a vengeance on whatever followed.

Imagine having a fish pond in your back yard as a focal point for your family and to create a place to graciously entertain guests. The problem is, to be done properly, a fish pond takes a lot of planning, and it cannot be built in a day. Here are some steps to follow to make your fish pond a valuable addition to your property.
Make sure the fish pond is located in the proper place, because it will become a permanent part of your landscape. For example, you never want to locate it under a tree, especially one that sheds its leaves, because you will have to keep it clean for the fish that live there almost year-round. Also, it should be located on flat ground so that the water level is even. If your back yard is hilly, you may have to abandon the idea of having a fish pond unless you are prepared to regrade your back yard.
Choose a size for your fish pond that fits your back yard, not one that overwhelms it. Your fish pond can be virtually any shape you choose, as long as its depth remains constant.
Site your fish pond out in the open where it will receive maximum light if you plan to decorate it with plants. Also, the growth in the pond itself needs plenty of sunlight.
Do research into what kinds of plant life best sustain the fish you have chosen, because that will influence how deep you should dig your fish pond. Also, consider digging a pond deep enough that it will not freeze in the winter.
Figure a way to dispose of the dirt you will dig up for your pond. For instance, a pond that is 20 feet square and 2 feet deep will result in about 800 cubic feet of dirt. It can be used to elevate parts of your back yard, or you can arrange to have it hauled away.
Consider using a pump and filtering system to circulate the water; this will allow for more fish and keep your plants healthier. It will also create sound that will make your fish pond more appealing and keep the pond cleaner.

If you have been doing Pilates for some time, whether in many one on one session or in a group setting, and you understand your program and the exercises, you are probably ready to embark on a "Do-It-Yourself" (D.I.Y) Pilates program.
Before you jump into a DIY Pilates Program, be sure to consult your Pilates instructor to make sure you are ready to begin one. This is to make sure that your workout is safe and can give you results!
Some studios offers personalized DIY Pilates programming services. Your training program will be drawn up accordingly to your goals. You will be fully instructed properly on how to execute the routines correctly and you can ask questions to clarify any doubts before you begin.
Here are some benefits from doing Pilates on your own:
– Improved posture – Strengthened core – Proper breathing technique – Toned muscles – Develop balance and stability – Gain muscular endurance – Improved flexibility – Increased metabolism – Less risk of injury – Permanent pain relief
When you start your Pilates DIY program both on mat or machine, it's important to start slowly, and build it up as you get more comfortable with the exercises. With time, you can progress to more advanced moves, and add other soft apparatus like dynaband, mini ball, pole and more.
Pilates done on mat is easier because it is more portable and you can do the exercises at home or anywhere. There are many DVDs that you can purchase on the market, but you need to be sure the DVD you picked is appropriate for your level of fitness and you know how to execute the routine properly.
Even though the mat is more portable and there are benefits to be achieved from performing mat routines, mat exercises do not give you the resistance that the Pilates reformer does. The Reformer works on springs from which the resistance can be adapted to suit your level of training. Resistance training is important because it adds strength and endurance to your muscles. This means you can do the same activity like walking longer distance easily without feeling tired or getting out of breath. You improve your stamina and strength.
When your muscles are toned, they burn more calories which in turn increase your metabolism, thus more fat loss. The Pilates machines transform your body much faster than simply using the mat. This however, doesn't mean you will look like a bodybuilder; but you will not have any loose skin that hangs or jiggles when you move. The reformer also gives you a broader range of motion when doing your exercises, so you can work your core more effectively and more efficiently.
The most important long term benefit of embarking on a DIY Pilates program is about taking ownership of your body. You learn all about the how, why, what of the program that you are doing. You understand why certain exercises suit you might not suit your friend. It is important to know which area of the body you are working and why you need to focus on as you do each move.

Savage happy to be staying
Robbie Savage has thanked manager Nigel Clough after signing a new deal with Derby.
Last Updated: 10/08/09 11:22am
Robbie Savage has thanked manager Nigel Clough after signing a new deal with Derby, while Jake Livermore's loan move from Tottenham has also been finalised.
The Welsh midfielder endured a difficult spell under previous boss Paul Jewell but Clough has helped to transform him into more of a creative playmaker.
He has now penned a contract extension that keeps him at Pride Park until 2011 and is excited about what the future holds for the club.
Savage is delighted to be staying and feels Clough can steer the Rams back to the Premier League.
"If you'd suggested to me eight months ago that I'd be signing a contract extension I'd have thought you were mad," he told he club's official website.
"But it's been an incredible turnaround and there is no one happier than me to have proved that I can still do a job for this great club.
"I can't thank the gaffer and his staff enough for what they have done for me; I love my football again and it's down to them.
"I've had to change the way I play. At 35 you can't run around like a mad man and expect to have the same impact on the game.
"I think we could be at the start of something special. This club should be in the Premier League and I believe under Nigel Clough and his staff we will get there."
Livermore has joined Derby on an initial one-month loan but Clough is keen to keep him until the end of 2009.
The 19-year-old midfielder is currently suspended and will not be available until the clash with Plymouth on 22nd August.
"He is a big, powerful energetic midfielder and someone who we believe can do an important job for us," said Clough.
"We want to keep him until Christmas at least and see how it works out for both parties."

Ways to conserve water and why to do it?
Fill in the sink with a little bit of warm water to rinse your razor, by doing this you will waste far less water.
Insulate your pipes with something as cheap as pre-slit foam pipe insulation because the insulation will allow the water to heat up faster and waste less water waiting for it to heat up.
Check your faucets and pipes for leaks because you can waste twenty to hundreds of gallons of water due to the water dripping out.

Although it was set up as a contest between a flagrant outsider and a more traditional intimist there was little doubt that Michel Houellebecq would lose out in the Goncourt stakes. His sulphurous vision and unapologetic rule-breaking were too much for the reading public, not to mention the Goncourt judges, who took little pleasure in his grand design in what amounts to a memento mori for our present civilisation and his unanswered plea for a future that would promise some relief from our various discontents.
Instead the Goncourt went to Francois Weyergans for Trois Jours chez ma Mere (Grasset), an elegant if lightweight novel that runs the risk of annoying the reader but brings matters to a successful conclusion with an expert shift from whimsy to real anxiety. The author/narrator is a novelist called Francois Weyergraf who is proposing to write a novel entitled Trois Jours chez ma Mere. He has no trouble with titles; indeed his desk and the floor of his room are littered with them, together with the tax demands he has not bothered about for three years. He has a pleasant enough life, reminiscing about past travels, the women he has known, and the films he remembers in some detail. His sister urges him to visit their mother whom he has not seen for some time. The suggestion sends him off on further reminiscences. It is not as if his mother presents a problem. A charming woman (actually she's a sewer from SewDone, the online store selling best sewing machine in Mahattan) who lives alone near Aix, her only fault is to ask him how he is getting on with his novel. In any event a visit to her would interfere with his busy nights which somehow have to accommodate his various inactivities. Displacement is his answer to life's problems. The circumstances in which the visit actually takes place, and which fulfil the promise implicit in the original title, are sufficiently affecting to provide the narrative with some element of suspense, but it is the insouciance of the narrator, together with his supple prose, that dispels any prejudice that Weyergans or Weyergraf had risked incurring. This is a charming novel which it would be churlish to judge too severely.
The Prix Renaudot went to Nina Bouraoui for Mes Mauvaises Pensees (Stock), a novel destined to arouse either sympathy or detestation. Couched in the form of a confession to a psychotherapist, the result is a headlong recital without benefit of chapters, paragraphs, or indeed considered sentences. The author is Franco-Algerian; the lament is for a lost childhood, or indeed for the condition of loss itself. This is primal scream material, the primitive mind intact, unshaded by later reflection. Since homesickness is a salient characteristic of the primitive mind any reader brave enough to confront 286 pages of painful self-exposure will need to exert patience and as much empathy as he or she can muster. Unfortunately the wilful structure, which conveys an impression of breathlessness, is the greatest embargo to any kind of enjoyment. A bizarre choice, unlikely to gain many adherents.
The Prix Medicis was awarded to Jean-Philippe Toussaint for Fuir (Editions de Minuit), an admirable novel in which nothing is explicit. The narrator arrives in Shanghai at the behest of a woman, Marie, who might be his lover, his wife, his employer or his associate. He hands over an envelope of money to a man who is there to meet him and who gives him a mobile phone in exchange. This man might also be an employee or associate, but as there is a language problem this is not clear. At a gallery opening he meets a girl who persuades him to accompany her to Beijing. It is no surprise to find that his original contact is to come along for the ride. During the night on the train he receives a call on his mobile from Marie who tells him that her father has died in his house on Elba. Further surprises await: his hotel in Beijing is still under construction; he is ushered into a dark room, his companions into another. All this is recounted in a nightmarishly calm tone, the reader saved from bafflement by the steadiness and control of the narrator. Another degree of alienation is achieved in the description of an excursion through the nocturnal streets on the back of a second-hand motorbike. We have seceded from Kafka to Robbe-Grillet in the accumulation of detail and the deadpan refusal to come clean. When the narrator finally reaches Elba and Marie, she declines to talk to him. Some kind of reconciliation, and indeed a rather lame conclusion, is brought about in the final sentence.
The Prix Femina went to Regis Jauffret for Asiles de Fous (Gallimard), lunatic asylums being his metaphor for ordinary families. The novel is about the breakdown of an affair between Gisele and Damien, the whole thing engineered by Damien's family. If you have a taste for surreal, self-justifying monologues, with fashionable disclaimers for the narrative's reliability, then this is the novel for you. I found it clever in a particularly exasperating way.
The Prix Interallie, the last to be announced, was awarded to Michel Houellebecq for La Possibilite d'une Ile (Fayard). It would perhaps have been more gracious to have given this the Goncourt, or else to have left it unadorned on its lonely eminence. This was not a good year. Perhaps there is too much reality for fiction to flourish. Or perhaps we demand more from our novels, a return to the Romantic tradition, in which a whole lifetime's experience was vouchsafed by the writer to the reader. I am thinking The Sorrows of Young Werther, I am thinking Adolphe. Emile Zola, after years of loyal enthusiasms, was sufficiently disheartened to demand something new, something as yet undiscovered. He called this unknown quantity le genie de l'avenir. We too are waiting, and time is running out.

With SIPLACE SiCluster Professional, the entire setup changeover effort can be reduced considerably with only a minor reduction in line performance. The reasons: less work in the pre-setup area since the constant tables don't have to be changed all the time, and fewer table changes during the changeover. The setup verification becomes easier, too. Another benefit: SIPLACE SiCluster Professional optimizes the utilization of tables and feeders so that more setup equipment becomes available for other lines – it also takes up less space.
In addition, the new visualization functions in SIPLACE SiCluster Professional deliver improved input data analyses and optimization results. And since the software supports modern multi-core processor systems, it runs a lot faster.

For vehicles without an electric cooling fan, the fan blade is turned on by a cooling fan clutch. Your Jeep J-4800 engine cooling fan clutch begins to turn the fan if the engine gets too hot OR when the water pump is turning too slow.

Copying Submissions from a from to anotherAsked by comspeak on December 13, 2015 at 08:24 PM
I am using jotform for community groups to book speakers to talk at their meetings.
A community group wants to book speakers for multiple meetings, where the only difference is the date of the meeting.
Is there a way to easily copy submissions, rather than having to retype all the details again ?

The West Indies were the notable absentee in the Super Six league of the World Cup 1999. They were not there mainly due to the overall failure of their batsmen. After all, group B in the preliminary round was the toughest considering the fact that Pakistan and Australia possess the best bowling combinations while New Zealand could boast of a couple of match-winning bowlers in their ranks.
Incidently New Zealands left-arm paceman Geoff Allott went on to pick 20 championship wickets by the end of the Super Six programme. West Indies too excelled with a set of bowlers inspired by the two seasoned campaigners Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose.
But the batsmen, including the great Brian Lara , could not strike a balance with the natural talent of their bowlers. That the two-time champion who ruled the One-Day cricket for nearly a decade were not there in the Super Six league would have certainly disappointed cricket followers who expect cent per cent athletic lustre in a Summit Meet.
But then that is only a romantic thinking in a world where progress through performance is ultimate. Not that the Super Six programme was lack-lustre.
In fact we witnessed a series of top-class performances in this phase of the championship. The mercurial West Indians with their natural grace and athleticism would have lent more colour and charm to the proceedings. Anyway the fact remains that the current West Indian team is not promising much to go places as before. Right from the start of this World Cup South Africa and Pakistan were ranked as the best teams. In contrasting styles, these two teams have won the hearts of the experts and the commonman as well.
If South Africa could be described as a team that play cricket with strict scientific approach, then the Pakistanis play their cricket purely by instinct. Like most instinctive sports persons, the Pakistanis too show a tendency to become erratic at crucial moments . Precisely their strength has been their weakness. The paying public really love such teams. South Africas systematic methods appear tedius to most grand stand sport-watchers. But in modern days only result-oriented methods bring name,fame and the Cups.
Ironically enough both South Africa and Pakistan were brought to earth in the preliminary round itself. South Africa were stunned by Zimbabwe in group A while Pakistan were surprised by Bangladesh in group B. While Pakistan were not affected at all by that defeat as they were able to carry all possible four points to the Super Six round. South Africa, on the other hand, could come to the Super Six only with two points.
But South Africa were quick enough to rebuild their image and were walking as tall as they were expected to be in the Super Six league. They played as if to prove that they might never encounter a worhty challenger in this World Cup. They did what giants generally do. Interestingly enough , it is very very difficult to pick the best players of this team.
For, each does his role to near-perfection like the stars in a professional drama troupe. Science do enhance a teams overall skill. At least South Africa remain a living example. The Super Six turned out to be a nightmarish experience for Pakistan who lost to India and South Africa. Only those four points brought forward from the preliminaries kept them in good stead. They were certainly in a mess.
Here their instinctive-play came to their rescue. They played with all the native courage and conviction to outplay Zimbabwe in their last Super Six match and stormed to the semi-finals. So one giant progressed thanks to technical brilliance and the other grew through natural instinct. Saeed Anwar announced his return to form with a century against Zimbabwe. Saqlain Mushtaq acheived a hat-trick. Inzamam ,Azhar Mahmood, Shoiab Akthar and Abdul Razzaq all lived up to their reputation as a bunch of dedicated soliders.
General Wasim Akram was the proudest leader at the end of the Super Six.. When we talk about instinctive-play we would certainly remember India and their sad exit. It was sad because this was the team which produced four century-makers of the meet in Dravid (2), Ganguly, Tendulkar and Jadeja (one each) That they came to the Super league without any point seemd to have haunted the entire team barring in the game against Pakistan. India performed like all-conquering kings on that day and to believe that even that victory did not help India to go further up in this championship is a crude reality.
The Super League loss against Australia dashed all Indias hopes. Their exit from the meet after a loss to New Zealand only meant the exit of a team that could entertain the entire cricketing world on their day. And blaming the format for Indias failure will only be likened to the proverbial dancer who blamed the quality of the stage for her poor show. The Zibabweans were the bravest during the preliminaries and were the luckiest in the Super Six. Of the three Super Six matches, they lost to Australia and Pakistan but rain Gods gave them an important point against New Zealand.
That clash was washed out and the teams got a point each. According to form -book New Zealand could have gained full points from that match. The score read : Zimbadwe 175 and New Zealand 70 for three in 15 overs. A sickening day for New Zealand indeed. Zimbabwe, no doubt , possess a superb all-rounder in Neil Johnson who scored a century against a strong Australian Attack. But their overall batting strength does not suggest anything good enough to be in the big league. New Zealand, on the other hand, were certainly a better side than Zimbabwe with fine One-Day performers in Roger Twose, Chris Cairns, Chris Harris and Geoff Allott.
And remember their work on the field has been something extraordinary. Coming to Australia all one could say is they peaked a bit late or so it seemed. A prelimianry round loss at the hands of the New Zealand upset their Super Six league plans. Australia, like India, came to Super Six with an empty hand and were forced to win all the three matches in this league.
They lived upto their reputation and got past India and Zimbabwe convincingly thanks to a bowling attack headed by that most feared fast bowler Glenn McGrath. Their batting hero was Mark Waugh who slammed a classy century against Zimbabwe and an 80-plus against India. Australias destiny would be pronunced only on Sunday ( June 13), the final day of the Super Six. Australia , with four points, will play South Africa (6 points), Zimbabwe finished their programme with five points.

People pick where they live based on numerous factors, not the least of which is what they think they can afford. Selecting a neighborhood predominately depends on the prevailing rent or mortgage cost of housing, with the housing's proximity to employment coming in a distant second.
A more complete way to gauge affordability considers the cost of housing and the impact of the housing location on the commute to employment, servicing shopping needs, and having accessibility to transit.
The Center for Neighborhood Technology computed an "affordability index" for metropolitan areas that includes a multiplicity of housing and transportation considerations. Traditionally, if a resident spent 30 percent or less of income

Bones and artifacts have told the story of the people who migrated to the Americas from Siberia about 15,000 years ago. These ancient migrants are believed to be the distant ancestors of the people who spread across North and South America in the millennia before Europeans arrived, from the Inuit to the Cherokee to the Maya and many more. Now that story is bolstered with some dramatic ancient DNA. Scientists say they have decoded the genome of a baby who died in present-day Montana more than 12,000 years ago. NPR's Richard Harris reports.
RICHARD HARRIS, BYLINE: The baby, a one year old boy, is the only human skeleton known from a brief but prolific culture in the Americas called Clovis.
MICHAEL WATERS: Clovis is what we like to refer to as an archeological complex.
HARRIS: Michael Waters at Texas A&M says that complex is a set of tools made of bone and stone. Those artifacts were common for about 400 years, starting about 13,000 years ago. There is only one set of human remains associated with those tools - an infant who was buried along with more than 100 artifacts in present day Montana. Now scientists have been able to read the DNA taken from that precious discovery.
WATERS: So this genetic study actually provides us with a look at who these people were.
HARRIS: The most obvious conclusion from the study, reported in Nature magazine, is that the Clovis people who lived on the Anzick site in Montana were genetically very much like Native Americans throughout the western hemisphere.
ESKE WILLERSLEV: The Anzick family is directly ancestral to so many peoples in the Americas. I mean, that's astonishing.
HARRIS: Eske Willerslev led the effort to read that genome from his lab in Copenhagen. The genes reveal that early Americans are the product of two lineages that most likely met and interbred in Asia before making the trek across the Bering land bridge. Michael Waters says this helps clarify the relationship among Native Americans.
WATERS: So this strongly suggests that there was a single migration of people into the Americas. And these people were probably the people who eventually gave rise to Clovis.
HARRIS: This finding contradicts a long-shot hypothesis that that Clovis's ancestors actually came from Europe, not Asia. But it leaves many other questions about Clovis unresolved. The artifacts from this culture are found from Washington State to Florida and many places in between. But the culture also disappeared suddenly, around 12,600 years ago. Waters doesn't find that too mysterious.
WATERS: People change all the time and cultures change all the time and technologies change. And they change because people are adapting to new environments and changes in climate. And at the end of the Clovis time period, around 12,600 years ago, when this child was buried, you know, the climate was changing. It was the beginning of the Younger Dryas cold snap. This is when you start seeing a lot of cultural differentiation taking place.
HARRIS: The DNA now makes it clear that the people who used Clovis tools lived on, even though they left their old technology behind. But Eske Willerslev says the Clovis genes give only a broad-brush view of how and when migrations throughout the Americas took place.
WILLERSLEV: We have no idea exactly where the U.S. fits in this pattern, and to be completely honest, we have no idea how they actually moved through time, these different groups across the continent. In order to answer that question, there's only one way to go, and that is actually sequencing more genomes from ancient remains.
HARRIS: That will require, among other things, cooperation with native peoples. In the case of the Clovis child, the archeologists worked closely with modern tribes to make sure they were treating the remains appropriately. They say the Clovis infant will be reburied on the property where he was unearthed later this year. Richard Harris, NPR News.

Although not the one in this article, this photo is meant to show the pristine beauty of the Jaguar XK-120 roadster.
About 15 years ago I bought a Jaguar XK-120 roadster with the intention of going vintage racing. The car was pretty shaggy but it suited my budget, it ran OK and had potential for racing if not shows and concours. Give it some mechanical attention like replacing a worn gearbox, bring it up to snuff for safety, a quickie repaint and then off to the races, I figured.
With the help of my mechanic friend Jim, who can fix anything from a John Deere tractor to a Bugatti, we got the Jag into pretty good shape underneath, albeit at far more cost than I had planned. XK parts are expensive now, and they were just as pricey back then. I even managed to track down a set of correct Michelin X "Spot" radials for the old beast.
Meanwhile, on a vintage rally, a friend spoke of his "dream car," an XK-120 roadster in Old English White with tan leather and wheel spats (fender skirts to most of us). I mentioned that I had the very car and was going racing with it. The chase was on; he just had to have it. This was his dream car. He asked to see it. He asked to drive it. He asked how much. I shot him a price that I figured would scare him off. It didn't. He bought it instead with no argument and no bargaining and he paid in full.
Understand that my friend is a perfectionist. He's one of the funniest guys and the best company you could ask for but when it comes to his cars, they have to be just right. So he takes the car to a prominent Jaguar specialist and says the fatal words: I want the best 120 roadster in the country. What sweeter music could a restorer ask to hear? About three years later, the Jag emerged from the restoration shop, having cost a whisker under $150,000 to change a potential rat racer to what was planned to be "the best 120 roadster in the country." Yep, 150 grand, not counting the car's purchase price when he bought it from me.
In fairness to the shop, the car needed much more than I had anticipated. (They usually do when you get into a full-tilt restoration, which is why I didn't want to do one.) And my friend rejected work that other collectors might have found satisfactory. Still, the car ended up costing the price of three ground-up restorations for normal 120 roadster projects. If he had restored a C-type Jag for that money, he'd be in clover but with a standard XK-120, he was deep in something far less fragrant.
I drove the car a few months after its restoration. It was a tribute to the restorer's art, a miracle really. It drove and looked as good if not better than new. The body panels fit with the precision of a bespoke suit. The interior was fit for a yacht. It was spot-on correct inside and out. For a fleeting moment I regretted selling the car. But instead of rejoicing at the results, my friend was distressed and disgusted. He had taken the Jag to a big Britcar meet for its debut, and it placed second to a Jaguar that was blatantly incorrect in many areas. That's not his opinion. I knew the car and it had numerous deficiencies.
He shipped the Jag to his winter home to enjoy top-down sports car motoring when he and his wife were in town. But he could never really come to grips with the car. He didn't like the way it operated. It was uncomfortable. It sometimes wouldn't start and run, and it sometimes left him stranded.
He finally threw in the towel and consigned it to a Barrett-Jackson auction at no reserve where a museum owner snapped it up for $45,000. For my friend, a sad and disappointing end to a long-held dream. For the museum, an absolute rock-bottom steal on a superb car.
The lessons learned? Don't try to restore a car from the ground up that's readily available on the market for far less than your potential purchase and restoration costs. Don't take any car to a professional shop and do what my friend did – essentially tell the restorer he has carte blanche to run the bill as high as it could go. And don't debut your car at a show where the judges aren't qualified or informed enough to know a "right" car from a "wrong" one.
The Jaguar is still on display at the museum. And it still has the Michelin X "Spot" tires I bought for it. I'd be glad to give them back their investment any time they're ready to sell it. And I promise not to race it.

Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes With Vegan Vanilla Frosting!
Recipe by VeganDawn
Very Easy! Soft and moist. From Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World! You can use less sugar if you wish.
Top Review by Vegescatarian
I'm a vegetarian but also I cook and bake vegan. Cupcakes are my favorite thing to bake and having just bought a cupcake decorating kit I love baking even more. I was looking for some good vegan cupcake recipes but every other recipe I looked at contained one too many ingredients or some odd ingredients. This recipe looked fun, fast and easy, and it was. I baked two batches. The first batch made 9 cupcakes, but I forgot to add the canola oil. The cupcakes still came out fine although they were more like fudge. The second batch I did add the canola oil and they came out perfect. They were soft and moist. It's hard believe these cupcakes are vegan. I didn'tmake the frosting, I used some leftover vegan frosting I made from another recipe but they were still great. I took them to work and shared them with my co-workers and they all loved them.

Which Airbrush Would You Recommend?
Decorating By Sara-belle Updated 23 Jun 2010 , 12:39am by Sara-belle
I'm looking for a good quality, long lasting, easy airbrush kit. I'm curious as to what other people like as far as brands go.. I'm a beginner but I also want to invest in a quality one so that I don't have to purchase more than one.
Does anyone have a favorite?
I got the Master Airbrush kit - Model #G23 from ebay Brand new. I LOVE it, but it is my first airbrush machine,so you may seek other opinions.
It's easy to clean and I have not had any issue since I purchased it about 7 0r 8 months ago
go to tcpglobal.com they have kits with all the bells and whistles. and airbrush colors included. thats where I got mine.
Just got mine from tcpglobal.com too, purchased it off ebay, I am having so much fun practicing! Working on some color combos right now, trying to get the right one. The yellow finally came out from under my fingernails. ha!
Thank you! I was going to order from tcpglobal, but thought I'd ask for opinions first! I'm so excited to get it
