Life is one tiring, neverending road trip.
So much anxiety.
The company saves millions of dollars a year. Maybe you can, too.
Would you put your $70,000 Tesla on the line to save a life?
It sounds like a weird sex position, but it can actually save lives!
Save on gas and get an amazing view when you visit this small town in the Netherlands.
What happens when someone becomes ridiculously defensive about Christmas on Twitter? The world plays along — in the most hilarious way possible.
Driving in Russia can be crazy, y'all.
This spin out is amazing, but what about the Tokyo drift?
If you drive, you need to watch this.
It's not just annoying, it's deadly.
Being an Uber driver is NOT for the faint of heart!
Some of the weirdest things happen while on the road.
If you have to use one of these roads to get somewhere, just stay home instead.

The LocoKit web interface provides a high-level interface that facilitates quick experimentation with standard gaits. Advanced users may however want to program their own specific gaits, this is current supported through APIs implemented in C and Python. As described under Software, the LocoKit main board runs Linux and comes with both a C compiler, an editor, and Python installed (in addition remote acess using e.g. ssh facilitates remote access from an IDE). Moreover, complete documentation and exampels are included with the system. For reference, an overview of the respective APIs can be found here:
We are continuously expanding the capabilities of these two APIs based on feedback from students and researchers using the system.

2017 PEA Window Competition
For this year's competition we've teamed up with the Center for Architecture and Design to give, the creative thinkers, a chance to really express their design chops. In this design competition we asked participants to simply rethink and show what the facade of the Center should be!
The Center for Architecture and Design just developed this brand new space that is open, engaging, and meaningful for those that dare to enter through the same ol' facade. But what is THE facade of the Center for Architecture and Design? How can the facade call upon it's founding principles?
For this competition we were really looking for how each participant define the facade: how it pushes the envelope, both physically and subliminally, how it addresses the experience of those coming into or passing by and how it engages the public both inside and out beyond a visual connection.
Light Industrial | Samantha Holmes
The Smith Young Field Company Building facade offers a unique opportunity to celebrate two under represented cultural resources in the "Chinatown" neighborhood of Philadelphia; the neighborhoods exciting industrial history, and the Center for Architecture.
With the construction of Reading Terminal and the Broad Street Station in the late 1800's, the area now known colloquially as "Chinatown", saw a development of light manufacturing buildings in the neighborhood bound by Race, Arch, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Streets. This revolutionary loft style architecture opened the door for exploration in steel and concrete structural technology. The Smith Young Field Company building is a transitional building in this exploration and one of the earliest examples of Classical Revival motifs in a Philadelphia commercial loft building according to the National Registrar of Historic Places. As such, the building deserves a store front that highlights its significance and era without drawing away from its own classical beauty. To achieve this, this design harkens back to the fanciful explorations with metal work seen at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Layers of sculptural metal rods dance in front of and above the transparent storefront drawing attention up to the detailing of the rest of the façade. Dark metal work and frames reflect the early façade detailing of cast iron buildings while geometric patterning maintains a modern aesthetic.
This transparent front also gives the Center for Architecture the opportunity to visually connect with the street. Deep displays and crowded windows currently mask the vibrant community space that dwells within the building. The Center, which often hosts large numbers of Philadelphia's design community, deserves to engage with the public realm it so amply serves. With this shallow façade and a more direct visual connection to these events the Center can draw in a wider range of the surrounding community to engage with the design of our city. Hopefully, with the Center of Architecture's leadership, this quiet simplistic design can open a discussion and act as a new template for the street treatment of the other loft style buildings in the neighborhood and city.
Emerge | Alexander Bruce
Emerge, Architects! The opportunity has arrived to reaffirm the mission and ideals of our beloved profession to the City of Philadelphia! The Center for Architecture and Design is an institution of collaborative learning, public engagement and social interaction. As the epicenter of design in Philadelphia, the storefront is a critical component to its success. It should demonstrate the progressive, dynamic nature of our profession and personify our commitment to community engagement. This proposal seeks to reinvigorate the storefront through a series of interventions to support and advance the CFAD's mission.
In order to engage the public, the storefront must interact with the street! After a recent rebranding initiative, the image of the CFAD remains unchanged to the uninformed passerby. Visitors enter through the front vestibules, unsure of the correct entrance, and wonder if they have ended up in the right place when walking through the bookstore and galleries. The first intervention is to open the façade to the street and introduce the public to the new Center for Architecture and Design! Removing the existing glass block that had previously compressed the entrance allows the storefront to soar vertically at the building edge and increase visibility from the sidewalk. This provides an opportunity to boldly present the new graphics, envisioned here by sculptural light fixtures. The new storefront continues to announce itself to the public with a delicate halo that extends out above the sidewalk and signifies the building entrance. Within the center of the halo, a suspended lounge provides visitors a space to relax and experience Arch Street from a new vantage point.
A critical component of the CFA's mission is to educate the public about architecture. The dwindling architectural bookstore leaves both architects and visitors yearning for a more. The immense body of knowledge of our institution will be represented here, and will serve as a resource to professionals and community members alike. At the entrance, café and lounge seating provides informal meeting areas to further encourage public engagement.
Let us emerge from the depths of our secluded refuge and out the street to engage and educate the public about the power of design!
An Extension of the Sidewalk | Alex Klohr
The Young Smith Field Company Building which houses the Philadelphia Center for Architecture retains its integrity of location, design, materials, workmanship, and feeling of the Classical Revival style while emphasizing new modern elements. By original design, building's principal facade is vertically divided into three parts; a 2 story base, a five story middle segment, and a single cap. While focusing on the two story base and preserving original limestone massing and detailing we can create new insertions which re-prioritize and re-order the hierarchy of the bays and entrance into the Center for Architecture. Providing a new visual and physical connection with visitors and members from the street is key in the new design. A sense of transparency and connection to the public is instilled in the building as well as in the future vision of the AIA. The large glass windows on the first floor allow an extension of the sidewalk and create a place for display and interaction. Opening up the dense and dated glass block windows allows for an operable and fluid second story undulating window design. This creates a view, connection to the street, and "balcony" space for tenants on the second floor while still holding true to the proportional guides set forth by the original Architect. Simplifying in color and material helps to maintain the grittiness of the city in a sophisticated and valuable manner. The future of the Center for Architecture is bright.
Spliced Window | Philip Rivera
The Center for Architecture of Philadelphia is placed at one of the busiest streets within Center City. The adjacency to Reading, Terminal Market, Jefferson station, and the Convention Center brings in tourists, commuters and traveling business along Arch Street. The Center's goal is be an accessible communal space to explore architecture and design, and engage visitors to reflect on how these disciplines affect us all in our daily lives. The center has certainly become a cornerstone in the design community as a space; however the existing storefront as a piece of architecture does not.
The existing storefront is simply too much a "storefront." The Center for Architecture aims to be an inviting civic space, but appears too similar to adjacent commercial spaces along Arch Street. The bays windows showcase the center like sweets for sale at a candy shop rather than be an engaging and expressive front door. The façade for the Center for Architecture should be bold, dynamic and truly engaging at the pedestrian scale. The proposed façade addresses this by splicing the concept of a transparent storefront with more enticing surfaces such mirrors and screens. The play of transparency, reflection and projection exaggerate the textures, movements, and ambiance of Arch Street.
The composition becomes an ever changing surface that flows above the sidewalk and creates a pronounced canopy above the existing entrances. The new façade is envisioned as a series of prefabricated panels that interchange between high transparency glazing, reflective metal plates and embedded LED screens. The staggered LED screens provide an opportunity for super graphics/ signage that can travel along façade like a digital billboard. Below the canopy, the staggering of transparency with reflectivity creates an enticing new visually striking "storefront" meant to capture pedestrian attention while allowing peek beyond the surface.
Sewing | Come Menage + Keren Bao
'Sewing' is a dialogue between old and new. It contrasts the heavy stone material framing the center's facade with the lightness of a fiber material filtering the light. The grooves in the existing stone was meant to bring a sense of human scale where the building meets the street. This detail is repeated, woven into multiple lines that brings further details to the viewer in the street.
The current storefront of the center is replaced with a clean vertical curtain wall that highlight the contrast between old and new, between heavy and light.

President Signs Gordon's COMPETES Act
(Washington, DC) – Equipping teachers, educating students, investing in research and stimulating America's economy are the goals of H.R. 2272, the America COMPETES Act, a bill signed into law this morning by President Bush at the White House.
"We have to recognize there are roughly seven billion people in the world, half of whom make less than $2 a day. We cannot and would not want to compete with that," said Gordon. "We have to compete at a higher level with a better equipped and skilled workforce than that of our global counterparts."
The bill, which will help secure the U.S.'s ability to compete in the global marketplace, was steered through Congress by House Science & Technology Committee Chairman Bart Gordon (D-TN) and Congressional leaders based upon the recommendations of the National Academies' 2005 report, "Rising Above the Gathering Storm."
Chairman Gordon, former Rep. Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY), Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) requested that report, which found that the U.S. could stand to lose its competitive edge over other nations unless action was taken.
Among the report's findings were that 68 percent of eighth graders received math instruction from a teacher with no degree or certification in math; and 93 percent of children in grades five through nine received physical science instruction from a teacher with no degree or certification in the field. The report also found that less than a third of 4th and 8th grade students are proficient in math.
To address these problems, The COMPETES Act authorizes $33.6 billion over fiscal years 2008-2010 for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education programs across the federal government. The measure authorizes multiple grant programs to help educate current and future teachers in the areas of science and math education. The bill also invests in basic research and supports young researchers by expanding early career grant programs.
"This bill will not only give our teachers and students the support they need, but it also advances our efforts to become energy independent. This will create new jobs and new exports," Gordon said.
The bill establishes the Advanced Research Projects-Agency (ARPA-E) designed to engage in high-risk, high reward energy research under the Department of Energy (DOE) – the first major energy provision approved by Congress this session.
The bill further supports basic research by setting budgets at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National Science Foundation and the DOE Office of Science on a path to doubling within the near term.
"This is not just an idle thought for those of us who have kids and grandkids. I am very concerned that the next generation of Americans can be the first generation of Americans to inherit a national standard of living less than their parents if we don't do something," Gordon said. "This bill will help turn that corner."

Sound ResearchWhether or not my title sequence consists of diegetic sound, music will be needed. A soundtrack sets a mood and tone to the film. It gives the viewer insight as to what the film will be about and also connotes emotion within the audience. Sometimes, music is integrated into shots, for example a character could be dancing in their room whilst listening to a stereo. I took a look at different songs to see what emotions they gave me and how these feelings could be translated into ideas.
Syron - Waterproof
Bastille - Haunt
Sam Smith - Nirvana
Natalia Kills - Rabbit Hole
All of these songs are very diverse however I feel the fact that they contain lyrics restricts what they can be used for as the lyrics tell a story of there own. This thought chose me to look at instrumentals. Following this I found an instrumental which I fell in love with. It could be used for multiple genres and films and sparks multiple emotions within the listener.

Flowgraph Analysis of Pipeline Networksby Thorleif Enger, Res. Engr.; Shell Pipe Line Corp., Houston, TX,
Chuan C. Feng, (F.ASCE), Prof. of Civ. Engrg.; Univ. of Colorado, Boulder, CO,
Serial Information: Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1971, Vol. 97, Issue 10, Pg. 1607-1624
Document Type: Journal Paper
A flowgraph can be considered as a new kind of notation which provides a precise, easily visualized description of a physical system. The functional relations can be explicitly expressed dependent only on the topology giving identical algebraic solutions to systems with isomorphic flowgraphs. The flow graph representation of the pipeline network can be obtained directly on inspection of the network by making use of proper transformations. It is analyzed by the topological solution algorithm derived from the feedback theory, and the flowgraph solution explicitly expresses the functional relationships between mesh flows and junction head values, the variables chosen. Nonlinear network problems can be solved by linear approximation. Sensitivity analysis can be done to aid in the design of pipe dimensions. The method is amenable for solution by computer aids.

I'm back to painting,
just in a small way,
I've started on some ATCs
for the fourth anniversary
WOYWW ATC swap.
I'm playing with ink sprays and watercolour
and have quite a few boo boo's so far
but I'm getting there.
However nothing can spoil my day now,
because a parcel just arrived.
A parcel I've waited my whole life to receive,
well it feels that way, waiting, waiting.
I nearly kissed the postman when it arrived,
poor man.
Okay, I've built up the anticipation now,
so here it is....
Oh what's that, just a mug you say,
nooo this is not just any mug,
this is a disappearing tardis mug.
Add hot coffee and
going, going
It's now floating in the galaxy.
Okay, so maybe I'm just a little bit nerdy
but when the painting isn't going my way,
this sure is a pick me up.
And the coffee tastes better
in this cup too.
Hoping to have at least one ATC
work for wednesday,
so I'd better get cracking.

They may not get their own flag at the Opening Ceremonies, but The Colbert Nation will be represented in Vancouver. As revealed during last night's historic show, The Colbert Nation is now the primary sponsor of the US Speedskating team. The announcement was made by Stephen Colbert, Olympic Gold medalist Dan Jansen and executive director of US Speedskating Bob Crowley.
With Team USA having lost its previous sponsor when the Dutch bank DSB folded, The Colbert Nation is stepping up to help America bring home speedskating gold at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Donations should be made in the name of The Colbert Nation via www.colbertnation.com.
Said Colbert, "We must ensure that it is America's 38-inch thighs on that medal platform!"
"US Speedskating is thrilled to be able to create a unique partnership between one of the great entertainers in the industry and one of the great sports in the Olympic movement," said Crowley. "Embracing the U.S. Speedskating Team will provide immeasurable exposure for our sport and very talented athletes."
US Speedskating is a non-profit organization recognized by the United States Olympic Committee and the International Skating Union as the governing body for the sport of speedskating in the United States. With 75 Olympic medals, US Speedskating athletes are the most successful of all winter sports in the United States. After winning a combined total of 64 world cup and world championship medals for long and short track events in the 2008-2009 season, Team USA is prepared to melt the ice with some fast skating and heart-pounding action. For additional information about US Speedskating please visit www.usspeedskating.org.
Legends like Eric Heiden, Bonnie Blair, Dan Jansen, Cathy Turner, Amy Peterson and many others propelled the sport to great heights. Current athletes including Apolo Anton Ohno, Chad Hedrick, Jen Rodriguez and Catherine Raney are sustaining a high degree of athleticism while newcomers like Trevor Marsicano, J.R. Celski, Katherine Reutter and Heather Richardson, and now Colbert Nation, are taking the sport to the next level.
"The Colbert Report" is produced by Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions, Inc. in association with Colbert's Spartina Productions, Inc. Stewart and Colbert are the executive producers with Meredith Bennett, Richard Dahm and Tom Purcell as co-executive producers. Jim Hoskinson is the director. Lisa Leingang is the executive in charge of production for COMEDY CENTRAL.

Iconic rock band KANSAS — with ties to Dodge City dating back to the early 1970s — will take the stage tonight at the United Wireless Arena.
The band is wrapping up its Leftoverture 40th Anniversary Tour which plays the Leftoverture playlist completely, hits and tracks from its latest album, The Prelude Implicit.
A live album from the Leftoverture 40th Anniversary Tour — titled Leftoverture: Live & Beyond — will be released in early November.
Leftoverture was the fourth studio album by KANSAS, released in 1976. The songs on the album included "Carry On Wayward Son," "The Wall," "What's on My Mind," "Miracles Out of Nowhere," "Opus Insert," "Questions of My Childhood," "Cheyenne Anthem," and "Magnum Opus," which includes "Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat," "Howling at the Moon," "Man Overboard," "Industry on Parade," "Release the Beavers," and "Gnat Attack."
KANSAS, consists of Ronnie Pratt on vocals, original member Richard Williams on guitar, original drummer Phil Ehart, Billy Greer on bass/vocals, David Manion on keyboards, David Ragsdale on violin/guitar and Zak Rizvi on guitar. The show at United Wireless Arena begins at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m.
"We're busier than ever," Williams said in an interview with the Daily Globe earlier this month. "When we put out the new album, we needed a way to get that music to our fans, so the tour, with 2 and a half hour shows, features our hits, Leftoverture and songs from the new album.
"We knew classic rock (radio) stations wouldn't play new music and there was no radio genre which would. It's been amazing how our fans have taken to the new music, which is why we're going back to the studio in January for a new album."
According to Williams, once the new album is completed, the band will once again hit the road to promote it — with a small twist.
"Next year is the 40th anniversary of Point of Know Return," he said. "So, like Leftoveture, we can celebrate an anniversary and once again bring new music to our fans."
"I'm excited KANSAS is coming back to Dodge City and they're bringing a historical show," said Chris Ragland, executive director of United Wireless Arena, in an interview earlier this month. "We're happy to have them back, their show last time was great.
"We still have good seats left and encourage anyone who would like to see the band to come on out."

text: We have answers for your frequently asked questions. No matter what your HVAC questions are, the pros at Paso Robles Heating and Air in Paso Robles have answers. Whether you have questions about choosing new HVAC equipment to best practices on care and maintenance, we are here to help. Our online FAQs answers offer a quick response for your convenience, but if you want to know more on any topic, don't hesitate to give us a call at 805-203-8667. Why is regular maintenance important? Just like you need to take your car in to the shop for regular tune-ups, such as oil changes or checking out possible concerns, your home comfort system should be subject to the same kind of attention. Routine maintenance by a professional technician provides numerous benefits to your HVAC equipment, which can help your systems operate efficiently and prevent costly breakdowns. How much will a Lennox product cost? Call Paso Robles Heating and Air at 805-203-8667 to receive a quote on Lennox equipment. What is two-stage heating? With two-stage heating, furnaces may operate on two different levels: high and low. Since you can heat your home on the low setting a majority of the time, a two-stage furnace can work longer and more efficiently. Two-stage heating also operates more quietly than traditional furnaces and can offer more even heat distribution and fewer temperature swings. How does Precise Comfort™ technology work? Lennox's Precise Comfort™ technology is an operating and control system that allows a furnace to adjust heat and airflow by amazingly small amounts, as low as a 1 percent change. The system is automatic and works similar to cruise control, making adjustments gradually to meet your comfort demands with energy efficiency. How will my new furnace work differently from my old one? Depending on how old your previous furnace was, you could experience a host of differences. Furnaces today are created to offer more even and efficient heating than ever before. Modern furnaces also better regulate temperature and air flow, moving more air over the heat exchanger than older furnaces. Additionally, new furnaces are designed to work with other high-efficiency HVAC products, such as air conditioners. The air conditioner blowers provide your heating system an extra lift so it can deliver cool air around your home efficiently. Special features like variable speed motors will also help lessen noise associated with operating your equipment and easily meet your family's airflow needs. What energy efficiency standard should I look for in an air conditioner in Paso Robles? The Department of Energy recently increased the minimum efficiency levels for air conditioners, heat pumps and packaged units manufactured after Jan. 1, 2015, since heating and cooling contributes significantly to a home's total energy usage. The requirements vary by region, so call Paso Robles Heating and Air for the efficiency standards for Paso Robles. How can I reduce my energy costs? Heating and cooling makes up a huge portion of your monthly utility bill. Getting new HVAC equipment with high efficiency ratings, such as SEER for air conditioners and AFUE for furnaces, is a simple step that can go a long way in lowering energy output. Beyond these ratings, also consider: Routine maintenance – regularly having a pro tune-up your equipment will keep it operating at its greatest potential. Adding a zoning system – by focusing your heating and cooling on the rooms you use most frequently, you won't have to pay to heat or cool areas of your home that aren't routinely used. Installing a programmable thermostat – the Department of Energy estimates that a programmable thermostat can lower heating costs by up to 35 percent and cooling costs by up to 25 percent. Leave it up to your thermostat to turn down the heat when you're away and go back to your preferred temperature when you're home. Why should I buy from Lennox? There are various reasons to choose Lennox, but the top three are: You know and trust the name – Lennox is known around the world for its quality home comfort products. Innovation and high quality – Lennox is an industry leader, giving you a complete line of innovative solutions for your home comfort needs. Commitment to excellence – We are devoted to providing customers not only quality products, but also quality service. You can trust Lennox dealers, like those of us at Paso Robles Heating and Air, to help you find the right system for your home, expertly install it, and keep it operating smoothly every time. What can I do to improve my home's indoor air quality? Increasing your home's indoor air quality starts with four basic strategies: Eliminate – poor indoor air quality leaves your home full of with air pollutants floating around your home, so to improve IAQ, the first step is to rid as many pollutants as possible. You can easily do this is by cleaning and vacuuming at least once a week, frequently washing linens and storing cleaning products safely. Ventilate – proper insulation is great for keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, but it also makes it more difficult for airborne pollutants to escape. Products like our Healthy Climate® ventilation system help exchange stale air for fresh, filtered outside air. Clean – good ventilation and regular cleaning are a start, but Healthy Climate® air filters, germicidal lights and PureAire™ purification systems take your IAQ to the next level by capturing microscopic particles, killing germs and removing particles and germs while destroying chemical vapors. Monitor – programmable thermostats will help you keep an eye on the humidity levels and temperature to help prevent particles and germs from accumulating and keep your home comfortable. How can I find out which indoor air quality product will is right for my home? Our Healthy Solution Finder lets you choose details specific to your family and home and will help you find equipment best suited to meet your needs. You may also consult with Paso Robles Heating and Air pros who can make a recommendation based on their evaluations of your home and existing indoor comfort system. How does an air conditioner work? You might be surprised to know that air conditioners don't technically make your home cooler; they actually remove the hot air and transfer it outside. This hot air moves across a refrigerant coil on the indoor unit and then is sent to the outdoor unit where it is released. Your air conditioner transfers as much hot air outside as is necessary to reach the temperature you have set on your thermostat. What is the minimum energy efficiency standard for air conditioners in my state? Minimum energy efficiency standards vary by region. Additionally, air conditioners, heat pumps and packaged units made after Jan. 1, 2015, have higher minimum efficiency levels than products manufactured prior to that date. The team at Paso Robles Heating and Air can help you find out the minimum requirements for Paso Robles, let you know if your current equipment meets those requirements or help you find a replacement air conditioner that does. How can I confirm the model and serial numbers for my cooling unit? Your system's service panel will have a white label on it, with your system's model and serial numbers at the top. M/N is the model number and S/N is the serial number. What size equipment do I need for my home? Since equipment size needs differ for each home, the best way to find out the correct size equipment for your home is to have a technician from Paso Robles Heating and Air come out to perform load calculation tests. The tests take measurements such as square footage, insulation value and amount, and more into account to determine your home's individual HVAC equipment needs. Can frost, ice, dirt or other debris keep the outdoor unit of my cooling system from operating effectively? Yes – debris can inhibit your system's ability to function effectively. It's normal for heat pumps to have frost or ice on them in the colder months, but many include defrost controls so they can work efficiently regardless of the weather conditions. What is two-stage cooling? When a cooling system uses two-stage cooling, it means that there are two levels of operation. This enables the system to work more efficiently since there is one level for milder weather and another for harsher weather that demands the system work harder. Two-stage cooling also enables slight temperature changes so you don't experience extreme differences in temperature. Aside from better efficiency, other benefits of two-stage cooling include quieter operation and improved humidity control. Why is my system freezing up? When your cooling unit freezes up, there are a number of reasons why it could be doing so. The most frequent reasons include: dirty filters, low refrigerant, a dirty evaporative coil and a faulty blower motor or relay. A dirty filter is something you can change as a homeowner, but the others need to be done by a professional like those at Paso Robles Heating and Air. Contact them at 805-203-8667 with any other questions. What is the best thermostat to use for my cooling system? Paso Robles Heating and Air offers a number of great thermostat options for your HVAC systems. The best thermostat for you will depend on a variety of variables, such as whether you want one that's programmable or not. No matter what kind of thermostat you'd like – or if you're searching for something that can fit with a home automation system – call Paso Robles Heating and Air to hear about which thermostats you can choose from. Our team will help you find one that's best for your system, your family's needs and your budget. What is a heat pump? A heat pump takes care of both your home's heating and cooling needs, offering you one HVAC system that can be used in all four seasons. In the warmer months, heat pumps act like an air conditioner, capturing the hot air from inside your home and moving it outside; in the cooler months, this process is reversed. Heat pumps can be very energy efficient and may produce two to three times more heat than the energy needed for the process. When replacing the outdoor unit, should the indoor unit also be replaced? At Paso Robles Heating and Air, we do recommend replacing both your indoor and outdoor units at the same time because: Today, outdoor systems are built to work with their matching indoor system for the highest efficiency possible. When you replace just one of your systems, you may not see the same savings on your energy bills as if you had replaced them together. Thanks to technological advancements, newer systems mean increased efficiency. This is true for HVAC products as well. While the advancements focus on greater heating and cooling efficiency, they also include benefits such as better air handling, filtering and noise reduction. If your heating and cooling systems are over 10 years old, they need to be replaced. Older models have outdated technology that is likely costing you money due to poor efficiency. So by replacing your indoor system at the same time as your outdoor equipment, both your systems will provide better energy efficiency that helps you decrease your energy bills and keep your home more comfortable. Is it possible to see whether my solar HVAC system is performing at its highest potential? Yes. Your SunSource® Home Energy System has a communication module that sends the system's performance data to a website. The website will show your system's status, energy production and environmental benefits, as well as carbon offsets in real time. Does the SunSource® communication module require an Internet connection? Yes, you will need an Internet connection if you want to use the system's online monitoring system. The system enables you to view energy production and environmental information. The monitoring service is provided free for five years, and the performance-monitoring website is maintained by an independent third party, Enphase Energy Inc. Do I need to wash my solar modules? Rain will clean the modules by itself in most areas; however, if you live in a dusty area, you could see improved performance after periodically spraying the modules with water. Please note that high-pressure hoses and detergents should never be used to clean solar modules, as they can harm the product. Which thermostat is best for my home comfort system? Paso Robles Heating and Air can help you find the right thermostat for you based on your home and current heating and cooling equipment. We offer a variety of programmable and nonprogrammable thermostats, which can help improve the efficiency of your home's furnace and/or air conditioner. View our thermostats or give us a call at 805-203-8667 for more information. How can I improve my utility expenses? Your furnace and air conditioner can contribute significantly to your monthly utility bills. However, these costs can be decreased with innovative and high efficiency products from Lennox®. You'll want to look for high SEER and AFUE ratings when you're ready to purchase a new air conditioner or furnace, respectively, as higher SEER and AFUE ratings denote higher efficiency products. If you're not buying new heating and cooling equipment, consider factors such as: 1. Maintenance: Furnaces, air conditioners and other HVAC equipment run more efficiently when they are regularly maintained. 2. Zoning: When parts of your home are rarely used, you're spending more money to heat or cool them to the same temperature as the rest of the house. A zoning system enables you to section off different areas of your home and control the temperature by each area. 3. Programmable Thermostats: Programmable thermostats may help you decrease your heating costs by 35 percent and your cooling costs by 25 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Why should I buy a zoning system? A zoning system allows you to parcel your residence and heat or air condition each area differently. While these systems operate well for homes that have parts that are seldom visited, they may also be beneficial in situations where you and your family can't agree on the temperature in various portions of your home. There are a number of additional bonuses of zoning systems, such as efficiency and comfort. View our selection of zoning systems or give Paso Robles Heating and Air a ring to see how a zoning system could benefit your home.

Physiotherapy management is a key element of care for people with cystic fibrosis (CF) throughout the lifespan. Although considerable evidence exists to support physiotherapy management of CF, there is documented variation in practice. The aim of this guideline is to optimize the physiotherapy management of people with CF in Australia and New Zealand. A systematic review of the literature in key areas of physiotherapy practice for CF was undertaken. Recommendations were formulated based on National Health and Medical Research Council (Australia) guidelines and considered the quality, quantity and level of the evidence; the consistency of the body of evidence; the likely clinical impact; and applicability to physiotherapy practice in Australia and New Zealand. A total of 30 recommendations were made for airway clearance therapy, inhalation therapy, exercise assessment and training, musculoskeletal management, management of urinary incontinence, managing the newly diagnosed patient with CF, delivery of non-invasive ventilation, and physiotherapy management before and after lung transplantation. These recommendations can be used to underpin the provision of evidence-based physiotherapy care to people with CF in Australia and New Zealand

We'll be traveling from Varenna-Esino to Tirano and then on to St Moritz to overnight. We will only have one night there. We'll have Swiss Travel Passes and I've already decided to not worry about taking the Bernina Express. We will use the free trains.
Assuming the weather is good:
Should we stop on the way from Tirano to visit Diavolezza? - or - Should we go to Muottas Muragi after we drop off our luggage at our hotel in St Moritz?
Or should we try to do both? Or neither, as it's already such a busy day of traveling?
<<"Should we go to Muottas Muragi after we drop off our luggage at our hotel in St Moritz?">>
Yes. Walk to Alp Langard if you can fit it in.

Oliver Stone's film has the archetypal story, visual scale and substance to match; not just a gripping real-life conspiracy thriller, but a fable for the fall of the American dream (a theme further explored by the director in Nixon and Any Given Sunday).

HTC Announces The Desire EYE – Coming Exclusively To AT&T In The US
Recently HTC announced a couple new products focusing on the camera experience. One of the product announced was the Desire EYE, a selfie-centric phone that lives up to the name. With a 13MP camera up front and a dual-LED flash, this is probably the phone to get when it comes to taking a selfie. But that's not all this phone has to offer.
Along with the camera up front, results are duplicated on the back with another 13MP camera with dual-LED flash. For power we're looking at a Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 2,400 mAh battery. That's underneath a 5.2″ inch 1080p display flanked on top and bottom by hidden Boomsound speakers. Oh and there's one more thing, it's water resistant. Seems like HTC really had their target market in mind with this guy.
As for availability HTC didn't mention pricing, but AT&T was kind enough to confirm that we will see this phone on their network in the US. Unfortunately that's as an exclusive. So, does the Desire EYE interest you? Let us know in the comments.

Prior to starting the RPTroyer consultancy, Russ has over 40 years of experience in applying technology to improve business processes. Although a skilled software and system architect, he is just as comfortable counselling executive management and guiding large-scale organizational change. Throughout his career, he has been specifically chosen to be the pivot point between the technologists and the management.
Russ began his career at Burroughs Corporation, the second largest computer manufacturer at the time. Beginning as a Systems Analyst, he rapidly gained skills in software development, development management, business analysis, change management and organizational dynamics. He was frequently tapped for management assignments that bridged between the technical developers and non-technical executives. It was not unusual for him to be asked to conduct classes is business analysis, management in general, technical management as a specialty or to speak on these and related topics at conferences.
The next stage of his career was as a founding partner of a boutique software and consulting company. As specialist in barcode and RFID technologies, they helped numerous companies dramatically improve their operations by taking advantage of these highly cost-effective technologies. In several instances, clients recouped the entire cost of the software and services in the first few months of production operation.
The arrival of children – twins – launched a period of introspection that culminated in the decision to focus his talents in the non-profit sector. He was hired to establish the IT department at the non-profit Defender Association of Philadelphia, the public defenders for the Philadelphia courts. The Association employees about 500, 240 of which are full-time attorneys, and they are assigned roughly 900 new cases each week. It is no exaggeration to call it an ultra-high volume criminal law practice. During his 20-year tenure, he championed innovative ways of getting the most from a shoestring budget and, as a result, grew the department and took the Association from a sea of typewriters to an enterprise-class client management system that is now at the core of their operations.
He holds degrees in both engineering and business, receiving a degree in engineering from Purdue University with concentrations in both operations research and in large scale systems. His business masters degree from the Krannert School of Purdue was in their compressed, intense program available only to STEM graduates.

"Struck by the overall happy environment"
About: Gartnavel Royal Hospital Gartnavel Royal Hospital Glasgow G12 0XH
Posted by Islandvisitor (as ),
What a wonderful hospital. I was a patient for 2 days on ward 4a, surgical. I was struck by the overall happy environment. The staff on my ward were professional, happy and very attentive. Glasgow at its best....just one thought, though, I would have liked to be able to use the small kitchen on the ward to make teas and coffees. Instead I had to approach staff to do this, who I'm sure had better things to do. There used to be small areas that patients could use but I suppose this has stopped due to health and safety? Anyway in no way spoilt my hospital staff.
Response from Lisa Ramsay, Patient Experience Public Involvement Team Support, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde about a year and a half ago
Dear Islandvisitor
Thank you for taking the time to post on Care Opinion. I am pleased to read about your experience on ward 4A of Gartnavel General Hospital.
I will share your kind words including your comments about catering facilities with the appropriate services. The staff on ward 4A will be delighted to receive your feedback.
I hope you are now recovering well at home.

I have replaced my stage name Claire Phoenix (of 13 years) for my birth name of Claire McAllister.
Welcome to my new website.
I am the daughter of professional musicians and grew up writing songs and learning flute and violin for a while. Alongside teaching languages I ran my successful function band for 10 years, The Claire Phoenix Band (www.phoenixmusic.org and www.clairephoenix.co.uk). During that time I recorded three live albums and was winner of the vocalist section of the PureSolo competition in association with Jazz FM in 2010. I have worked with many jazz ensembles at festivals, music clubs and private functions and over the years found myself more and more drawn towards learning the art form of jazz so completed a Masters in Jazz Performance at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (2014-16). I have studied with Ian Shaw, Liane Carroll, Sara Colman, Lee Gibson, Scott Stroman, Martin Hathaway, Carlos Lopez-Real and Trevor Tomkins to name a few.
A single mother of three, as my children have become more independent I have found time to devote to writing my debut album and cultivating my love of poetry and writing.
After spending 13 years performing in function bands, jazz bands and duos in a huge range of venues both private and public and singing material from pop through jazz standards to contemporary jazz I am delighted to welcome you to my own compositions with my debut album.
I am influenced by classical and jazz music but am very drawn to contemporary jazz/folk such as Lauren Kinsella; singer-songwriters such as David Sylvian, Kate Bush and Laura Mvula and spoken word poets performing sometimes to music such as Kate Tempest and Selena Godden.
The themes of this album are Belonging/Not Belonging; Finding your voice and Not having a Voice. These are universal themes, particularly for those experiencing displacement and of course, in our personal search for purpose and meaning in life.
Sometimes you have something to say and you're not allowed to say it, sometimes you have a forum and find you have no voice. Belonging and not belonging are powerful human states which can affect us deeply and I guess we are all looking for home on different levels. Perhaps home is ultimately related to how we feel inside.
I hope that the songs have some meaning and that you can connect on some level with them.
I am accompanied by Giuliano Parisi on piano, Julio Fuster on bass and Pere Munuera on drums. Recording Elefante studios, Valencia, Spain; mixing and mastering by Digby Smith at TQ1 studios Devon, England.
I'm enormously grateful to all those who have and continue to support my efforts.

I am really drawn to poet/singer-songwriters such as Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell. While writing my album I started studying poetry to be able to write good lyrics and say what I really mean. I feel sometimes songs are let down by weak lyrics.
For me the marriage of poetry, music and voice is a perfect one. Then it's not about the singer singing a good song well but rather the words, voice and music coming together to carry a message potently from the heart, that is, the sum of the parts is greater than the individual components.
This poem I wrote is influenced by William Carlos Williams's So Much Depends upon a Red Wheelbarrow. I love the idea of making the ordinary extraordinary or trying to paint a picture with words.

I Am Poem © Claire McAllister
I am the words from the mouth
of your spirit
surging upwards
and outwards
clean and pure.
I only want to say it
as it is
as it was
my writers' experience
in me with me through me.
Then I lay bare
looking upwards
at the downwards
glance of my reader
hoping for recognition
written on their face
mirroring me
Then my writer
has met my reader
and I
the vessel
have carried them together
to meet
This poem is about Carmen Herrera, great minimalist painter, unrecognised through her career because of being a woman where her male peers were finding success. She finally started receiving acknowledgment at 89 years old. Blanco Y Verde is one of her pieces.

I took my lines and colours
to Rose Freid's gallery
she saw breasts
and Motherhood
You took your lines and colours
to Rose Freid's gallery
she saw success
and Belonging
I walked home and painted for fifty years
You stayed out in the sun with journalists and photographers
In two thousand and fifteen
I had my first three figure birthday
You died.
Blanco y Verde
is sitting out in the
of the new millennium.

up the winding staircase
to the young girl sitting on the top stair

sends rivulets of cold air
along the back of her head
a warm orange glow

I managed and performed with my jazz function band The Claire Phoenix Band for 12 years and my first original jazz-influenced album Caminos was released on 20th July 2018 with Turquoise Coconut and comprises 10 self-penned songs on the themes of belonging and not belonging; finding your voice and not having a voice.
Blackbird Coaching
I also offer creative coaching for the artist looking to find their own voice or sound. This involves discussion about where you want go what you want to say and what you are looking to achieve and perhaps more importantly, how to recognise and manage inner blocks and outer constraints. We will look together at how you can flourish and tap into that comfortable feeling of being yourself in your creating. It also doesn't need to be music specifically, anybody who creates, who has a craft is an artist.

When your roof needs a new look, whether you want a completely new color or just a more vibrant shade of the previous hue, give it a makeover using specially formulated paint. While there are multiple products available for the task, always make sure that your current roofing will be compatible with the product you choose before beginning the project.
Step 1
Cover any flowers, plants and other outdoor fixtures near the house with a tarp before you begin. Make sure that pets and children are kept out of the way throughout the process.
Step 2
Clean the roof. A pressure washer with 3000 psi is recommended for this task. If you are uncomfortable using a pressure washer, consider hiring a professional for this step.
Step 3
Apply a primer and sealer coat to the roof using a paint roller or paintbrush. Select a primer/sealer that is specially formulated for roof tile.
Step 4
Select a finish color. Consider the color of your house, window trim and doors when selecting a color for your roof. Select a shade that complements these colors, but do not try to match them exactly. You may also want to look at the roof color of surrounding homes to make sure that your color doesn't stand out too much from the rest of the neighborhood.
Step 5
Apply the finish coat over the primer once it has completely dried. If desired, apply a second coat of finish once the first once has dried.

About The Beerblefish Brewing Company
We launched our first beer in the autumn of 2015. We started off brewing in a shared co-operative brewery in Bermondsey, and moved to our own premises in Edmonton, North London in late summer 2016.
Beerblefish Brewing is committed to keeping its beers vegan. It is not necessary to include isinglass or other animal products in our beers - these additives do not add anything to the taste of the beer and simply stop some people from being able to enjoy it.
We are also conscious of the impact of brewing on our environment and we are always looking for ways to reuse our by-products, including our spent grain and our used hops. We're always open to new ideas so please get in touch with any
As a social enterprise, we have 4 aims:
- Provide training and mentoring to ex-forces personnel to re-skill and re-enter the workforce after military service;
- Provide material and financial support to computing oriented youth training schemes;
- Pay all members of staff at least the living wage;
- Brew fantastic beer and have fun doing it!
The Short History of The Beerblefish Brewing Co.
After many years brewing in kitchens and basements all across the UK, positive feedback led to the decision to ramp it up and start brewing professionally. We founded The Beerblefish Brewing Company Limited in August 2015.
We spent the rest of the year further developing our recipes and finally went beyond the R&D phase into the commercial world of brewing in the autumn. Our first batch was kegged on the 24th October, and we enjoyed seeing our roundel on the tap in our local pub.
This year is proving to be a momentous one for Beerblefish! After many months of searching, we found our own home in Edmonton, North London and moved in on 25 April. Earlier in the year, we also found our own 5BBL brewing kit, which is currently being stored for us in a barn in Suffolk.
Our new premises are essentially just an industrial box which took some time to convert so that it was fit for purpose. A floor with proper drainage was laid, we built an internal room to keep our fermenters cool and we made a long list of other changes.
Whilst our own brewery was coming together, we continued cuckoo-brewing (brewing on someone else equipment) small batches in Bermondsey. This allowed us to supply a variety of pubs, bars and corporate customers with casks, key-kegs, and bottles. After much experimentation, we settled on a few staples for our range and brewed several different versions of them to get everything perfect for when we start in the new place!
Having completed the works, we were able to ship and install the kit.
The year started with us brewing 100% at our base in Edmonton, North London. Whilst we have the big kit installed, our pilot plant enabled us to experiment with one-off brews and festival specials - our Imperial Mild was the fastest selling beer at the Bexley Beer Festival! The brew kit continues to be added to and updated - which is, of course, a never-ending process!
We have done a couple of festivals so far with more to come. Thanks to CAMRA, our beer was on sale in and around the Peak District.
More festivals, more brews, more fun!

I haz teh J-106 schizmo too. Here's the slice of it that splains:
One schemo I've not been able to find (for free anyway) is the Korg Poly-61. It, of course, was a 6 voice DCO synth, but it had two oscs/voice, of which osc 2 was detunable. I think that single feature really fattens up an otherwise sterile sounding DCO synth. I'd way rather have that than a single osc/voice through a bucket brigade chorus like teh Juno.

Thank you for joining us for another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! We're so excited to be sharing this hop with you. The products used are all available in the current Annual, or seasonal, Stampin' Up!® Catalogues*. Simply use the buttons at the bottom of the post to keep hopping!
Today's sketch it courtesy of Amy (see previous blog). Think she wanted to challenge us by adding angles! Also a MASSIVE Happy Birthday to Amy, who celebrated her big day earlier this week!
It took me a really short time to decide what I wanted to do as I knew I needed to make a card to send to our niece who has recently started University to study Art Photography. We have recently discovered that we both have a mutual obsession with stationery so I promised her some 'care packages'; I have some really nice things to send her, along with this card 🙂
I love the Awesomely Artistic Stamp Set, it's so versatile. Love how the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set influences so many others and means we get more options of splatter! (which is always fun to use!)
The Greetings Thinlet Dies called out to me from the Catalogue as soon as I saw them but it took me a while to purchase them and use. So glad that I did now though! They cut so lovely with the glimmer paper and look even lovelier in reality!
Now the glitter heat and stick took me a while to like. After re-inking my Versamark though and getting a few tips from my Stampin' Up! Family I am getting to grips with it. If you're experiencing difficulties with it make sure you're not heating for too long as this stuff goes from sticky glue to set glue in seconds!
You can't really see it in the picture about but I used a Wink of Stella Clear Pen on some of the 'splatter' to add a bit more sparkle.
I really hope you've liked my project today and that you enjoy the rest of the incredible projects on the hop.
Thanks for 'hopping' by! 🙂

Bachynskyi was born in 1979 in Krasylivka village, Stavyshche district of the Kyiv region.
"In March of 2014, when the war was so unreal and only seemed possible, he, the 35-year-old father of five children, was drafted to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"When he was mobilized, he could have refused. He could have dismissed later, when taken to a shooting range. But he didn't... he went on to defend his Motherland!
"Sasha... A private. A handler. A fighter of the 8th mechanized company of the 3rd mechanized battalion of the 72nd guards separate mechanized brigade. Call sign Pechkin. He was among those drafted in the first wave [of military conscription - ed.]. He was among the first defenders in this war," the volunteer wrote.
On July 11, 2014 in Zelenopillia of the Donetsk region Bachynskyi got under Grad shelling and was wounded. The fighter's neck and spine were affected by a shrapnel. Bachynskyi has been paralyzed ever since, undergone numerous surgeries. He was awarded with Order for Personal Valor of the III degree in January 2015.
"During his last surgery on Sept. 29, 2016, Sasha's heart lost this fight of life and death... He died... Sasha was buried in his village of Krasylivka in the Kyiv region. ... He is survived by his parents, wife Natalia, and five children - nine-year-old Andrii, 18-year-old Veronika, eight-year-old Tania, five-year-old Anzhela, and four-year-old Lilia... I know for sure the family needs help. And I know for sure we can help them," Stepanets wrote.
Oleksandr Bachynskyi's mother Privatbank account for financial aid to the family:
