How to Clean and Lubricate a Chain
Frequent chain cleaning and lubrication will help keep dirt off your chain and prevent wear.
Regular cleaning and lubrication of your chain will help prevent your drivetrain from wearing out. You should clean and lubricate the chain when it is dirty, dry or begins to sound noisy. If you ride every day, you should clean and lube the chain at least once a month.
Chain Lubricants
I don't recommend using either motor oil or 3in1 oil to lubricate the chain. Motor oil is too heavy and won't fully penetrate the rollers, and 3in1 oil is vegetable based and will gum up the chain. I also don't recommend using wax lubricants because while they don't collect as much dirt, they are a lot of hassle to apply correctly, and wax is simply not as good a lubricant as oil. I do recommend mineral based chain oils like Finish Line Cross Country or Phil Wood Tenacious Oil because they do the best job of fighting corrosion and don't wash away when they get wet.
Chain Cleaning
For cleaning, first shift the chain into the smallest sprocket on the rear. For average dust and dirt, wipe the chain clean with a solvent soaked rag. The easiest way to do this is to hold the chain still at the rear derailleur cage while firmly wiping the lower run of the chain. Then move the chain backward and wipe again until you've wiped the entire length of chain. Wipe between the rear sprockets using either a rag or a sprocket cleaning tool. Then clean all of the front chainrings on both sides.
Chain Lubrication
Shift your gears into the middle sprocket both front and rear. Remember that oil does a good job of spreading itself, so try not to over-apply the lubricant. Lubricate the inner circumference of the chain, on the side that faces the sprockets along the top of the lower run of the chain. Run the chain backwards while dropping oil down both sides of the rollers.
Shift through all of the gears to spread the lubricant evenly through the drivetrain. Then use a rag to wipe off any excess oil.

Can't Setup Front Derailleur to Change Up and DownLastest post 21 mins ago
I can adjust it so that I can change from the middle ring to the small ring or middle ring to the large ring, but not so that I can change between all three. The high and low limit screws are not restricting movement of the deraileur. This only seems to be a problem since I replaced the middle ring with an oval one. If I squeezed the rails of the derailleur closer together would it help. Seems li...Read more

Matching New Chainring to FreewheelLastest post 2 years ago
The chain is slipping on my MTB when I'm on the middle chainring and smallest sprocket on the back, but only when I put a lot of force on the pedals. I replaced the chain last year along with the 7 speed freewheel and the middle 32T chainring. I've probably cycled only 1000 to 1500 miles since and tried to only oil the chain when it was clean, so I'm not sure whether it is excessively worn (have...Read more

Chain getting sucked in by fat tireLastest post 2 years ago
Hi, my chain on a 2016 Specialized fatboy keeps getting sucked into the tire and comes off when I am in the top gear coasting.

The UK's Premier 5G Resource
We provide industry-leading daily news and informative 5G technology guides which are easy to follow, in order to help our readers get to grips with and keep up-to-date with the rapidly developing world of 5G mobile.
Our news is produced and posted in a timely fashion and summarised into our 5G Newsletter and forwarded onto our thousands of newsletter subscribers.
As seen on
Our 5G news and informative guides have recently been seen on the:
Questions readers seek answers to in 2018
What is 5G?
This is most popular question our readers are looking to find an answer to. Currently, if you use a phone in the UK, it will likely be using 4G technology which launched in 2012/2013.
Roughly every 10 years a new generation of mobile technology is deployed. 5G is the fifth generation of the technology and the UK is preparing to launch the new technology towards the end of 2019. So what's changed? Well, 5G will be faster, much faster, but it will also be lower latency and open up all sorts of new use cases that just aren't possible on 4G.
Our comprehensive guide has been written for both consumers and professionals to easily and quickly gain the information they require about 5G. Read more.
When will 5G launch in the UK?
The absolute earliest that 5G will launch here in the UK will be 2019. EE is likely to be first to launch and based on its estimates this could happen sometime around or after August 2019.
At this time, the first 5G network will probably be launched in a number of cities (exactly which is to be confirmed, but major ones like London are likely candidates). Coverage, initially, will be limited to those cities. The UK operators will then roll-out 5G across all urban and rural areas of the UK. This will take a number of years, so don't expect 5G to be as widely available as 4G until the mid-2020s. In the meantime you'll likely be relying on a combination of the two. Read more.
When will 5G phones arrive?
This is the third most popular question asked by our readers. The short answer is not before 2019, so you won't be able to use your current handset with 5G.
The first 5G phones could arrive in the first half of 2019, with LG for example likely to launch one in that timeframe. Samsung, Apple, Sony, OnePlus and Huawei are also thought to be launching 5G phones at some point in 2019.
However, they may not all launch in the UK and even if they do you won't be able to take advantage of their 5G features until the UK has a live 5G network – which won't be before late 2019. We also wouldn't expect the majority of mid-range or low-end phones to support 5G until at least 2020 or 2021.
For more information check out our full guide to 5G phones.
How fast is 5G
A very important question indeed. 5G speeds will theoretically be around 1-10Gbps making them roughly 1000 times faster than 4G, but those sorts of speeds would mostly only be achieved in lab conditions.
So in practice the speeds will be lower but still much faster than 4G. Latency (how long it takes the network to respond to a request) will also significantly come down from 45ms (actual) for 4G to 1ms (theoretical) for 5G. That will make it great for gamers and real time 5G communications such as M2M (machine to machine) and connected cars. Read more.

Digital X-rays
Digital x-rays are available in our office and provide several benefits for our patients. Instead of using film, a digital sensor is used to record images of the teeth. We are able to observe and evaluate these images almost immediately after taking the x-ray. The images can than be enhanced using software that will help aid in the proper diagnosis of any existing problems. In addition, we can speed the process of filing insurance claims for our patients by attaching the digital images to our electronic claims and sending them via the internet. This helps to assure fast and accurate processing of your dental claim. Finally, digital x-rays require even less radiation than the already low doses of film x-rays.
No.1 in my book. I am a very long time patient and have never been disappointed with the results,
Dr. Kiriiluk goes way beyond typical service.
I am extremely happy with his caring attitude as well.

Customized redirection of affiliates in WHMCS
By default, WHMCS redirects accesses to affiliate links to the home page of the client area, to overcome this limitation and offer better results to our affiliates, we create a hook that changes that pattern.
The following code allows you to create custom affiliate links with redirection to different URLs, which can be defined through an additional parameter at the end of the affiliate link itself, or set custom redirects to specific affiliates Directly in the hook code.
The implementation is very simple, download the file gofas_custom_AffiliateClickthru. PHP and save in the directo
ry/includes/hooks/of your WHMCS.
The next step is to edit the default target, in the l
ine 10altere the URL by the default destination address that you want to redirect affiliate links (https://example.com).
On line
17, you can define a specific affiliate to redirect access to your referral link, replace the value 1 with th
e affiliate ID and on line 18
replace the sample URL with the specific target URL of this affiliate.
If you want to add the same condition to other affiliates, you can copy and paste line
s 17
to 21 and paste just below line 21, changing the values as explained earlier.
Now the best part: The default format of the affiliate URLs is
gofas.net/cliente/aff.php?aff=7, with hook installed, to set directly on the affiliate indication link the customized destination, just add the page (& page =)
ter shortly after the affiliate ID.
Default URL Example of affiliates:

All you need to know about hiring scaffolding including materials, labour and time frames.
Some roofers and painters/decorators will own and erect their own scaffolding or access towers, but usually if a substantial scaffolding is required a specialist company will be used. The cost to scaffold will depend on a number of factors, such as how many sides of the building need to be accessed, how long does the platform need to stay up, are there any public footpaths or roads in the way, is bridging required to clear a conservatory or similar, plus how many levels are needed (if multiple working platforms are required for a job like repointing a gable end then it will be more expensive than a job where only one working level is required, such as replacing roofline products). Although there are many jobs that can be done using ladders, but for safety reasons, most times when it is required to work at height scaffolding is recommended (required in fact for those in the trades by health & safety).
Scaffolding is an unusual trade in that it is always just part of another job and never done on its own! Basically anything involving working at height requires scaffold, so it is used extensively by roofers, painters and builders. Erecting scaffold is expensive so often if a job requires an access platform, it makes sense to tackle any other jobs that may require scaffold at the same time to reduce labour costs. It makes financial sense to do as much work as possible using the scaffold once you have already paid for the erection of it!
Scaffolding is where steel poles are erected vertically and horizontally like a giant meccano set, then wooden walking boards are laid down. Handrails and access ladders are then added as standard for easy access to all levels. Scaffolding is very versatile and can be used in narrow spaces or areas that seem almost impossible to access such as around high chimneys. Professional scaffold companies can provide safe access to almost any part of a building.
Remember that the scaffolding cost will increase the longer you need the scaffold in place, so be careful about erecting the scaffold too soon, plus ensure that the company doing the work is fully prepared to start as soon as scaffold is in place, the last thing you want to do is pay for scaffold that nobody is using!
Scaffolding is normally hired out for a fixed period, usually 4 weeks, with an additional rent applied on a weekly basis if the scaffold is required for a longer period. On larger jobs you need to establish who will be paying for the additional scaffolding rental costs if the job takes longer than expected. Location will also have an impact on price. With labour being a substantial part of scaffolding costs those in London and surrounding areas will pay a lot more than those in the North.
For scaffold to be built on three sides of a typical semi-detached house for a single roofing job, typically costs around £650-£800. To bridge over a conservatory with a walkable bridge expect to pay £400. A simple scaffold tower built to the height of the gutters will cost around £250, although bear in mind that tradesmen will often inflate this price if the job they're doing is a small one, i.e. repairing gutters, etc. Ideally have all roofing type jobs carried out at the same time.
These figures are of course just rough guides, the actual costs for erecting scaffold to a semi-detached house will depend greatly on a number of factors such as how high it needs to be, how long you need it, how many walking levels are required, the location and ease of access. If the scaffold will block or restrict a public path or road, then a license will be required from the local authority which will of course also increase the overall costs. Unusually shaped buildings with unique design features will also affect the overall costs as the scaffolding company will need to spend more time creating a safe and secure scaffolding design.
Below are some estimated costs of scaffolding in different scenarios:
If the jobs require painting or rendering at different levels, add around 10% to the price as extra lifts will be needed.
|Job Description
|Avg. Cost
|Hire Duration
|Scaffold 3 sides of Detached Bungalow
|6-8 weeks
|Scaffold 3 sides of Semi-detached House
|6-8 weeks
|Scaffold Bridging Over Conservatory
|6-8 weeks
|Scaffold Tower
|1 day
|Scaffold a Chimney
|1 week
Individual costs for hiring scaffolding for 6-8 weeks on 3 sides of a semi-detached house - Total Cost: £750

By Rob Schofield
On March 3, nearly 200 representatives of North Carolina's nonprofit sector gathered in Cary for the N.C. Center for Nonprofits' 2006 Public Policy Forum.
As has been reported previously in the Philanthropy Journal, the event provided a rare and important opportunity for members of the state's nonprofit community to gather, hear the forecasts of respected analysts and advocates, and see and interact with important policymakers.
As the chief organizer of the event, I've been heartened by the comments of a large number of attendees who expressed satisfaction with the program and presenters.
The real litmus test for the success or failure of the forum, however, will not be found in results of the official evaluations, but rather in the ways that the members of the state's nonprofit sector "vote with their feet." Will folks simply return to their individual organizations and causes until the next meeting, or will a sizable group begin to look for opportunities to take action and to be a part of a broader movement for the common good?
The goal of the event, after all, was not simply to produce an educated and informed nonprofit sector.
Rather, it was to help convince nonprofits that public-policy advocacy can and should be a central component of their day-to-day work, and that the sector ought to mobilize collectively on a host of important issues.
Ran Coble of the N.C. Center for Public Policy Research addressed the policy role nonprofits can play when he reminded the audience about the recent investment by the A.J. Fletcher Foundation in affordable-housing advocacy.
As Coble noted, a relatively modest investment in the public-policy advocacy of the N.C. Justice Center and N.C. Housing Coalition helped produce a multi-million-dollar increase in state outlays for affordable housing.
As for the need for a collective nonprofit voice on policy issues, North Carolina's charitable nonprofit sector is large and growing rapidly – with more than 8,000 organizations large enough to file an annual IRS report.
The sector employees over 200,000 workers and spends over $21 billion per year.
No other group in the state comes close to having such a vast and untapped network with the potential for influencing state government policy — much less for moving it in the direction of the common good.
In the coming months, the public policy staff of the Center for Nonprofits will be working hard to help the state's nonprofit sector to realize its enormous potential for collectively shaping public policy.

text: EU President Donald Tusk ("president" is a misnomer; Tusk wasn't elected by European voters, of course, because that's how Europe rolls) wrote a letter to 27 EU heads of state listing Donald Trump as a threat along with communist China, dictatorial Russia, and murderous radical Islam: An increasingly, let us call it, assertive China, especially on the seas, Russia's aggressive policy towards Ukraine and its neighbors, wars, terror and anarchy in the Middle East and in Africa, with radical Islam playing a major role, as well as worrying declarations by the new American administration all make our future highly unpredictable. Tusk went on to describe the United States under President Trump's leadership as the most difficult challenge for the EU: Particularly the change in Washington puts the European Union in a difficult situation; with the new administration seeming to put into question the last 70 years of American foreign policy. Oh wait labeling Trump's America as bad as a threat as Jihad is, should only be ignored by every America since the European allows Jihadist into Europe and do nothing about it. For nearly four years the European Union has been taken over by Jihadist with multiple terrorist attacks and crimes against the European people, and the EU President Donald Tusk and unelected official in the EU thinks he has room to talk. You know what's as dangerous as Jihad, and that's the European people having an unelected official in charge of the European Union. If it's one thing that's really a threat that's as bad as Jihad, it's the European President Donald Tusk doing everything to allow tens of thousands of Jihadist into the European Union and doing nothing about it. The EU President is likely making this comparison, because Nationalism has risen inside the collapsed EU...And will very soon likely lose France, and Italy with already losing the UK through Brexit. This pure stupidity shouldn't even be stated, when the EU allows radical Islamist into the backyard of Europe.

Public Safety Advisory Board
Seeks Resident Input at Public Forum – November 9, 2010
Blue Springs, Mo. – On November 9 at 6 p.m., the Blue Springs Police Department and the Blue Springs Public Safety Citizens' Advisory Board will host its second annual public forum to discuss a series of issues related to public safety in Blue Springs. The forum will take place at the Howard L. Brown Public Safety Building, 1100 SW Smith St. and is open to the public. This meeting marks the third public meeting, including the original Mayor's Task force meeting, in effort to increase resident-police partnerships in the community.
Advisory Board Chairman Tom Echerd will preside at the forum and encourages any interested persons to attend. "We hope residents will come to the forum and actively participate in a positive way. These meetings represent the Board's ongoing efforts to keep residents informed and engaged in the activities of our Blue Springs Police Department," said Echerd.
At a recent meeting, the Board established the following topics that are of great interest to the community and will be on the agenda for the November 9 public forum:
"I encourage all residents to come and provide any input they may have. It is through the community's partnership with the Blue Springs Police Department that we will be able to create and maintain the safest community possible," Blue Springs Police Chief Wayne McCoy said. "We value everyone's input; by working together we can celebrate our successes while gaining an understanding of those areas where residents feel we can do better."

If there is one thing that we will certainly see a lot not only this period, but throughout the remaining part of the year, that is the hair accessories in many designs and colors. Hair accessories are now considered as the best accessories of the year, because they can totally change the way you look, and even better complete your look.
Hair accessories fans are divided in two groups: those who prefer the minimalistic hair touch, which is so `90s style, and those who think more is more. A minimalistic touch includes clippers, hair pins and thin bows, while a more daring look requires tiaras as seen on the Dolce & Gabbana show and also huge embellished hairbands that will immediately make you the center of attention anywhere you go.
As our day is always filled with different activities, sometimes it is hard for us to find enough time to fix our hair and make it look perfect. Although perfection is out of reach in different moments, we still try to do our best, but somehow we fail. As frustrated as it can be, if you try to put at least a simple accessory on your hair, or keep it loose with a thin bow, you will immediately notice a difference. Hair accessories are not just a souvenir for fun, but they will help you look amazing if you are planning to go somewhere nice. You can also wear a foulard if you have a vintage spirit and create a fabulous look alla Sophia Loren.
If you want to get inspiration and choose which accessory suits you best, depending on your hair length and model, we bring you the best hair accessories, which were seen quite a lot during the presentation of the Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer 2019 collections.

NEWARK — A 20-year-old man was arrested early Thursday morning after fleeing an attempted traffic stop in a stolen vehicle and crashing into a pole, police said.
Martin Harlon, who lists recent home addresses in Livermore and Newark, was arrested on suspicion of stealing a vehicle, evading arrest, possession of burglary tools, driving without a license and hit-and-run, Cmdr. Mike Carroll said.
The incident begin at 2:18 a.m., when police said an officer saw Harlon driving a vehicle reported stolen in Newark on Wednesday.
He ordered Harlon to pull over but he drove away, Carroll said. The officer stopped following the driver, who failed to stop at several stop signs and collided with a curb at the intersection of Mayhews Landing Road and Dijon Drive, police said.
Authorities said Harlon kept driving, going southbound on Newark Boulevard in northbound lanes, then crashed into a light pole.
Officers took him into custody moments after the single-vehicle accident, Carroll said.

Many people are attracted to the idea of community schools, but starting one is not as simple as opening a health clinic and instituting partnerships with local businesses, civic groups and seniors, cautioned NLU's Carlos Azcoitia, Ed.D., distinguished professor of practice within the National College of Education, in an article in Phi Delta Kappan's February issue.
It takes a battery of leadership skills and abilities to helm a community school, wrote Azcoitia, along with co-authors Ted Purinton, Ed.D., former director of NLU's National College of Education's department of educational leadership, and alum Karen Carlson, Ph.D. Phi Delta Kappa is a professional association for educators, and the Kappan is its magazine.

OXNARD, Calif. — Clearwater Living has acquired Clearwater at Riverpark, a newly delivered, 136-unit independent living community in Oxnard.
Clearwater already operated the community, which seller The Wolff Company developed. The transfer of ownership was part of the development plan, according to Clearwater. The price was not disclosed.
The property is located along the Santa Clara River approximately 75 miles west of Los Angeles. It is adjacent to The Collection at Riverpark, a 600,000 square foot lifestyle retail center including restaurants, shops and theaters.
Clearwater already operates nine communities in Western markets, but this is the first community the company will also own.

Today I finally gathered 95% of what I am taking and unpacked what I had packed, and repacked it….pretty much in the way it will be taken to SA. I took pictures too!
Here's everything (except a few clothing items and possibly random other things). Obviously, the dog in the picture isn't going, and neither is her blanket. Princess just didn't feel like moving when I began organizing around her.
Below is a picture of mainly the clothes I shall be taking. I know you can't see it that well, but I've got a bit of everything that I need.
Here's some of the little gadgets and whatnot that i am taking, and my shoes.
Here's Princess. She kinda got stuck in the middle of it, but didn't mind too much. 🙂
And here is the after picture. 3 bags-the big duffle is pretty full, but the carry-on duffle is half empty and the backpack has almost nothing in it. It will carry snacks and entertainment for the plane though. And staging papers. Notice, Princess didn't move a bit.
Jaxson felt left out, so I snapped a picture of him, laying in the chair, on the heating pad, with a blanket. Lazy dogs.

A loan modification agreement details the loan modification that is legally bound between you and your lender.
Decoding Loan Modification
In order to understand the content of a loan modification agreement and its significance, it's important to know which situations lead to a loan modification and also what it entails. In some situations, a loan modification is an option that can ease your payment commitments to comfortable levels with altered terms of your mortgage loan. While not altering your total liability on account of your mortgage, this involves redistribution of the payments. Throughout this process, it is better to take help from a loan modification firm.
The content of a loan modification agreement
Though certain content of loan modification agreements could be customized depending on the borrowers' situations, few things constitute a part of the standard agreements which include:
Outstanding loan amount: This is the total loan amount payable by you to the lender on the date of agreement.
Revised interest rate: In most of the loan modification cases, the lenders revise the interest rate which often varies over time. If the interest rate is variable, the loan modification agreement would also include the period relevant for different interest rates applicable.
New principle: This is the amount that you will pay monthly, based on the modification agreement terms, minus interest, etc. The new principle amount will always remain equal to the residual period of the agreement.
Maturity date: This date defines the revised date by when the entire loan outstanding will be paid fully and when the modified loan repayment period will end.
Covenants: This is one of the crucial sections that cover the relevant obligations, including penalties applicable in case of defaults by you to the lender.
Like any mortgage agreements, a loan modification agreement covers the terms of arrangements made between you and the lender; in the context of the pre-entered mortgage loan requiring revisions considering some difficult situations your are going through. Taking assistant from a loan modification expert can save you from this hassle.

What can we do to save Pandora?
Evidently Pandora announced today that they would rather shut down than continue to pay 70% of their revenue in royalty fees in order to bring music to their listeners.
I first read about this on Twitter, when @BrittBravo posted a link to this article from TechCrunch. Here's the comment I posted:
@David Damore That is exactly the question I think we should be asking: what can we do to help? Maybe Pandora can do a feasibility study for alternate revenue streams. At least to cover the costs of certain artists/labels who overcharge for the rights to play their music. Like if there's an artist you truly love, maybe you pay $5 a year to add them to your station.
Or sell artist merchandise through the site. Or have "reseller" opportunities for bloggers who would like to provide Pandora as a service. Or only play music from artists and labels who don't charge (then it'd be up to us to put pressure on the ones to do overcharge, and get them to come back).
I don't know. It's a complicated issue, and I'm not familiar with the regulations/laws/etc. But there's got to be a way to keep Pandora around, and whatever it is will likely be one of the first steps toward a major revolution in the music industry (which is coming anyway).
A lot of people have argued (okay, maybe not a lot, I only saw one and am extrapolating) that music shouldn't be free, implying that Pandora's model–and the movement toward free music in general–means there's no way to make money as an artist. This is simply not true. You just need to rethink the way that money is made in the music industry.
Just because I can download free mp3s of a band that I like, doesn't mean that they're never going to get any money from me. I LOVE live shows. Let me have your music, and let me know when you're in town, and I'll buy a ticket. Sell merchandise. Sell your music on vinyl. Or special collections. Or whatever it is that bands like Radiohead do to make money when they put music out for free.
There's got to be a way to preserve Pandora's place on the web. They can't give in. How will I ever find new music?! Please don't make me go back to the way it was before Pandora revolutionized my life, and fundamentally changed my relationship to music. It'd be a step backward in the evolution of the species. (Or internet. Music industry. You know.)
So who has a great idea and can fix this? Somebody does. Out with it! We need you.

There are IDEA's and solutions out there that are win-win for the Music biz, Pandora and listeners. Hopefully posts like this and others get the right people to stir the IDEA pot so that the winning solution can be unleashed.
Thanks for writing and getting the heat started under the Idea pot.
David Damore said,
Found your site because you used my name; have a Google alert set up for my name;) Commented because your post resonated.
If you want to connect with more people you may want to grab an account on Twitter. You will also want to comment on other peoples blogs. If your comments resonate people will check out what you have to say on your own blog.
If you decide to join Twitter you can message me at @Admore.
Hope you are having a great day!

I realize I may be shot down for this, but has anyone considered paying for Pandora's use? I'd pay a few bucks a month for Pandora. It helps me find new music and is the most intelligent internet radio service I've seen yet.

Easy Way To Grow Your Own Vegetables
It's always a good idea to grow your own vegetables. This is because most of the ones available in the market have been diluted with chemicals which isn't safe. It does require a bit of effort but most of the gardeners from Yarraville love it. Here are few ways in which you can have your own organic vegetable garden.
Use natural products
The whole purpose of growing your own garden is to reduce intake of vegetables which have been mixed with chemicals. So you should use all organic products to grow your crops such as use organic fertiliser. However, this wouldn't be necessary if you have good soil but experts recommend to use fertilizers. You should keep in mind to use only organic soil.
Change spots every year
According to experts you should change the position of your crops at least once a year. This is mostly for vegetable plants because if it is in the same spot then diseases can build up. Closely related plants get affected by same diseases so you should plant tomatoes, peppers, potatoes in a different spot and cucumber, pumpkin in another spot.
Maintain the crops
This is the key to growing an organic green vegetable garden. Everyone can start growing their own vegetables but it will be of no use if they cannot maintain it. This means they need to water the plants, feed them right food and ensure that they are exposed to sunlight. Before starting up gardening you should get landscaping services done by experts. They would understand the site and look at natural features such as soil quality and depth of frost line. This is because not all lands are fit for gardening so no matter how much effort you put in, if your soil isn't good the crops won't grow. It is important to know that different vegetables grow differently. For instance to grow broccoli the plant should be at least 12 to 16 inches deep. Also you need to keep an eye on worms to avoid them you should cover broccoli plants with floating row cover. Check this site offer a wide range of landscaping services that will suit your needs.
Secret to tasty home-grown vegetables
There are many secrets to tasty vegetables such as sun ripening. Usually the ones bought from market have been shipped and by the time they reach final consumer they have lost most of the flavours. Whereas home grown vegetables especially tomatoes are best when left to mature. Apart from that it's best to pick them before eating or cooking instead of picking them beforehand. Giving them more attention is also the key such as weeding and pruning.Gardening is a great way to spend your time, and best way to feed your body delicious home grown vegetables.

There are people in the world who stick to honest practices no matter how much sacrifice they have to make. They firmly believe in being virtuous. They silently work hard and wait for the day when their efforts will be rewarded. People may call them idealists, bookish and dreamers when they refuse to take part in corrupted activities in everyday business. These people refuse to yield to dishonesty and then there comes a day when they win the reward of their patience and hard work. This story highlights the efforts of such a determined individual.
Saqib completed his graduation with flying colors in 2001 . He wanted to pursue his higher studies at a good university but did not have means to realize his high dreams. He was the eldest son of his parents; therefore, his family needed another earning hand to meet the growing needs of its members. He was aware of the role his family wanted him to play. Every morning, he would look at job advertisements in the newspapers, note down the addresses and then go out to post his applications and CVs to the advertisers. Papers had piled up beneath his computer table.
He applied for different posts in various departments of private and public sectors, took tests and attended interviews but did not succeed in securing a job for a long while.
It took him one year before he finally got an appointment letter. His designation was quality assurance officer in a public sector department. He accepted the job and was sent on a year-long training, during which, he sent his weekly salary back home and enjoyed the satisfaction of being a helpful member in the family.
After completing his training, he was happy that he was starting a new life and that the hard times of life had ended. But, he was unaware of the trials that he had to face in days to come. When he took office, he came across rampant corruption around him. Everyone at the department seemed to have embraced bribery. His colleagues did not give importance to their salaries because they got very large sums from the concerned parties. They had bought luxury cars and built large houses. Saqib also wanted to make money for his family but he did not want to resort to foul practices. He tried to save himself from being contaminated by the corrupt environment. His colleagues began to take him for a villain because he had refused to be an accomplice in their crimes of commissions and kickbacks.
Our interviewee was upset and helpless in the face of other thick-headed 'quality assurance officers'. Reporting the problem to the higher authorities had its own implications and consequences. His job environment made his life more difficult. He was torn between his desire to financially assist his family and his efforts to save himself from the overwhelmingly corrupt job environment. He could not afford to undertake a single-handed fight against the ubiquitous corruption because this task was too big to be done by him alone.
When it became too difficult for him to continue his job, he resigned in 2005. His resignation was followed by three long years of hardships and unemployment. His search for a better job made him leave his native town and move to different metropolitans but he failed in getting a good job. At last, he went abroad in search of greener pastures. His shoes wore out on the roads of the foreign land. His courage seemed to be exhausted. It seems to be an enigmatic reality of life that when man has depleted all his powers and is at the brink of losing hope, there comes a breakthrough. This is what happened to Saqib in his quest for truth and honesty.
One fine morning he received a telephone call informing him that he had been selected as lecturer in a state-run college. One of his old applications for employment had, at last, been processed and he had been invited to accept the job, which he did. He worked hard as a lecturer and got an early promotion. Now he is a senior lecturer and is happy with his current position, because there he is not bothered by corruption.
In his free time, he likes to sing songs and write poetry. His friends are fond of his great singing skills. When I asked him about his unemployment problems in the past, he smiled and said, 'One should not be disappointed whatever the circumistances are'.
He also likes to engage in social work. He has been raising funds for drug addicts. He is very much upset about the problems old people face in society. He plans to set up an NGO for the betterment of old women in his native town.
Saqib's story shows that the world is not ruled by chaos where honest people have to suffer and corrupt people excel in every field of life. In fact, we are influenced by the discourses of corruption which unethical people air to justify their own dishonest practices. If we learn to rise above this hollow rhetoric circulating all around us, we discover that the universe and the forces of life hail and honour honest and earnest efforts made despite the world's trials and tribulations.

NHS Continuing Healthcare
NHS Continuing Healthcare is free care outside of hospital that is arranged and funded by the NHS. This free care and support, also known as "fully funded NHS care", is for people with complex and on-going healthcare needs. It can be delivered in the patient's home, at their care home or in non-acute hospitals. NHS continuing healthcare is free, unlike support from social services for which a fee may be charged, depending on your income and savings. NHS Continuing Healthcare is different from NHS Funded Nursing Care, which some people with less complex needs living in care homes receive.
People living with complex medical conditions, which require a lot of care and support, and those who need specialised nursing support may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare. This includes some people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities (including disabled older people) and mental health needs, including dementia. For more information on NHS Continuing Healthcare, click here.
People who are eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare are entitled to ask the case manager in charge of their care for a personal health budget. A personal health budget is money allocated to support an individual's health and wellbeing, which is planned and agreed by the individual and the CCG. It gives people with long-term health conditions and disabilities more choice and control over how money is spent on their care.
If you have questions about NHS Continuing Healthcare, please email Bakison Kansinde, Joint Commissioning Manager for NHS Continuing Healthcare and Domiciliary Care, on call him on 020 3688 2900.

The Holi festival is the traditional Indian festival of colors that marks the arrival of spring and the end of winter. Ritually, the Holi festival is a celebration of love, friendship and the zest of life through colors. In ancient scriptures, the festival of Holi represents a celebration of the triumph of good over evil.
It is important to understand that in Hinduism, the various festivals are events that give us an opportunity to celebrate every act and event of creation that links us to our past. The common thread in the celebration of all major Hindu festivals is a puranic tale that talks about the Gods defeating the demons. In a philosophical sense, the Gods and demons are representations of our own good and evil tendencies. The celebration of these festivals is to empower and encourage us to choose wisely and perform good deeds. The holi festival also has its genesis in ancient stories that are mentioned in our ancient scriptures.
Significance of Holi festival: Why do we celebrate Holi
The english word "festival" translates as "Utsava" in Sanskirt. Utsava is formed from 'ut' meaning 'removal' and 'sava' meaning 'misery'.
When we celebrate the festival of Holi we are basically expressing the joy of participating in the diversity of life and reminding ourselves that each "winter" in our life is temporary and will be followed by a joyful "spring"
The word Holi originates from the word Holika who was the sister of king Hiranyakashipu, a demon king. According to the legend, King Hiranyakashipu, king of Multan had become virtually indestructible because of a boon that he had earned and that had made him arrogant. He demanded that people consider him as God and worship him. His son Prahlad, however, did not worship him and remained an ardent worshipper of Lord Vishnu. This angered Hiranyakashipu, and he subjected his son to several punishments. However, none of those punishments affected him. The King then asked his sister, Holika who was immune to fire to sit on a pyre with Prahlad on her lap. Prahalad continued to recite Lord Vishnu's name. With the blessings of God, the fire didn't do any harm to him, but Holika got burnt to ashes. It is the death of Holika that signifies the importance of Holika Dahan. By remembering this story, people celebrate Holi every year to reinforce their faith in the almighty and take solace from the fact that "bhakti" or faith will take them through the trials of Kali Yuga.
Colors becoming a part of the Holi festival is also dated back to the time of Lord Krishna and Radha. Lord Krishna used to celebrate the festival with colors and play Holi with his friends at Vrindavan and Gokul. This has led to people also interpret Holi as a celebration between the divine love of Lord Krishna and Radha. Remembering this incident, people apply colors to forget personal enmity and forgive & forget.
Popularly, the festival of Holi is celebrated with friends and family coming together and enjoy themselves by playing with "gulal" or colors. The common belief is that Holi is being celebrated to welcome spring and bid goodbye to the winters. It is also known as Vasant Mahotsava because spring harvest is associated with it. The festival brings happiness and prosperity for all. People also drench each other with colored water to celebrate this festival.
The Holi festival starts on Purnima and lasts for two days. The first day of the holi festivals is known as Choti Holi or Holika Dahan and the second day of the Holi festival is known as Holi or Dhulandi. The festival of Holi falls in the month of Falgun, somewhere between the end of February to the middle of March.

How is the Holi Festival celebrated in different Parts of India?
The festival of Holi is celebrated in Vrindavan and Mathura with much pomp and joy as it is here where Lord Krishna spent his childhood. The celebrations in these places span over a week with people visiting temples of Lord Krishna and Radha to get themselves drenched in color and colored water.
- In Barsana (Radha's village) people play Lathmaar Holi. This is said to be a recreation of the time when Lord Krishna who was from the Nandgaon village visited Radha's village to play Holi along with his friends. However, sticks were hurled at them to drive them out of the village. Keeping in sync with the tradition, it is still done every year with women hurling sticks at the men and the men trying to save themselves.
- In western India, the tradition is to hang a pot of buttermilk high up in the middle of the street. People form a human staircase and try to break the pot. Whoever succeeds in breaking the pot is crowned as the winner of that area for a year. The tradition of breaking pots is linked to the habit of Lord Krishna who used to steal and break the pots of buttermilk at people's houses.
- In Eastern India, the way of celebrating the festival of Holi is slighly different. People in Bengal play with a colored powder called Abeer or with colored powder and colored water. Holi here is known as Dol Yatra. Idols of Krishna and Radha are placed on a swing, and people take turns to swing them. Orissa also has similar traditions as those of Bengal and celebrate the festival in a similar way.
- In North East India, Holi is a six-day festival. In earlier times, folk dances and folk songs were performed under the moonlight. This has changed now, and the folk songs have been replaced by modern bands. People set ablaze a thatched hut of twigs and hay, and devotees dance and play with gulal in front of Lord Krishna's temple. Several cultural activities are performed on the last day of the festival.
The Holi festival has gained popularity and is now celebrated in different parts of the world too.
Holika Dahan is celebrated one day before Holi where a pyre is lit. The ritual symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. People sing and dance around the pyre.
The festival of Holi is said to strengthen the feeling of brotherhood among the people. It remains as the festival that is celebrated with much joy and ecstasy all over India by people of all ages.
Usage of colors in the Holi Festival
In earlier times, the colors known as gulal were made from the flowers of the "palash" or "tesu" tree. No chemicals were added, causing no harm to the skin. But, these days' artificial colors are made using harsh chemicals that cause skin irritation at times.

Your recent article on a move to restrict motorcycles from part of Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, and the opposition of motorcycle riders who claim it restricts their freedom, reminded me that motorcycle riders in Florida do not have to wear helmets. The law was changed because it restricted their freedom.
However, the unhelmeted motorcycle rider is a burden to everyone else because if he is in an accident, there is a good chance that he will sustain expensive-to-treat head injuries that may eventually be fatal.
Because the cost of treating a head injury from riding a motorcycle without a helmet is far in excess of most insurance, the excess cost has to be paid from taxes.
I believe that it would only be fair to change the law to the effect that anyone who is fatally injured because he was riding without a helmet would be deemed to have consented to be an organ donor. Such a law would make the risk of riding without a helmet clear to riders. At worst, it would increase the supply of organs for transplants.

Cinnamon Fig Bread
This recipe is the ultimate melt-in-your-mouth bread recipe, but serving it with nuts, cheddar cheese, or cream cheese takes it to the next level. This recipe was heavily inspired by the cinnamon raisin bread I used to eat when I was growing up. I hope it brings you new memories and becomes a halcyon of days for you as it has for me.
What you'll need:
3 C Farina (all purpose is ok)
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 3/4 C water
2 tsp cinnamon
4-5 turkish dried figs, chopped
Preparation: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and yeast. Slowly stir in the water until fully combined. Mixture will be very sticky. Fold in the cinnamon and figs. If you want nice streaks of cinnamon throughout the bread, do not fully combine the cinnamon into the flour mixture; simply fold it in lightly. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 18-20 hours. After the initial rising time, generously flour a piece of parchment. The flour mixture should be sticky and bubbly. Gently roll the mixture onto the floured parchment and cover with a tea towel (dough will stick to a regular towel!). Let rise for another 1-3 hours or until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 450°. Place an oven-safe dish that has a lid in the preheating oven. Carefully roll the dough into the coverable dish. Bake the bread in the covered, preheated pot for 10-15 minutes. After such time, finish baking the heavenly bread on a baking sheet or stone (I prefer the stone) for about 15-20 more minutes. Let cool and enjoy!

Botswana - Top five Items to view
Following on from my other 'Top items to See' options, here's the shortlist for the major 5 items to see in Botswana. It is a fascinating country and whilst the majority of the attractions listed under are focused predominantly about wildlife, there's lots far more to this spectacular country if you have got the time for you to explore.
Central Kalahari Game Reserve
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve, property towards the San Bushmen, may be the largest game reserve in Botswana. It really is arid circumstances are frequently regarded as inhospitable; having said that, when the summer time rains arrive in Deception Valley the plains come to life and present guests a amazing safari experience. Grazing species such as gemsbok, sprinkbok along with other antelope, predators which include lion and cheetah and also a plethora of other wildlife are all to be located here. Some look at the game viewing within the Central Kalahari throughout this time for you to provide an practical experience equivalent to that from the migrations in nearby Tanzania and Kenya. The habitat is also a favourite for reptiles, scorpions and insects as they've been in a position to adapt to the erratic conditions on the location.
Understanding a lot more regarding the classic San men and women of your Kalahari is an extremely exciting experience and permits the visitor to discover much more about how these nomadic folks live side by side with their atmosphere.
Chobe National Park
The second biggest national park in Botswana, Chobe has some of the greatest concentrations of wildlife located in Africa. Probably, most well-known for its huge migratory elephant population (somewhere in the region of 120,000 men and women!), the park also boasts fantastic numbers of other animals and is also well-known with migrating birds.
The Chobe National Park is diverse and has significantly to appeal to all guests, with four distinct ecosystems getting apparent within its boundaries. You are able to practical experience, the lush and dense forests of your Serondela by the banks of your Chobe river, the marshlands around the Savute Channel, the swamps on the Linyanti and also the hot dry plains in in between.
The park is a terrific location all year round, even though game concentrations are especially high throughout the drier month, frequently among April and October.
Makgadikgadi Pan
Makgadikgadi Pan began life as a sizable lake, but several years ago the water evaporated and left behind a glistening salt-encrusted pan. Right now, this striking organic function created up of two large salt pans, Sowa and Ntwetwe along with a number of smaller pans, is believed to be the largest salt pan in the world. The Makgadikgadi Pan and surrounding nutritious grasslands are house to a big number of predators and antelope species. Substantial flocks of breeding flamingos flock towards the pan as do lots of other bird species.
Whilst the wildlife here is fascinating, it truly is the remoteness and uniqueness in the pan itself that may be the primary attraction. Sunset more than the Makgadkigadi Pan isn't to become missed as the altering light casts wonderful shadows against the shimmering surface from the pan and tends to make for some startling photographs and images to treasure.
Moremi Game Reserve
Covering the eastern side of your Okavango Delta, the Moremi delivers guests a great mix of floodplains, forested locations and open savannah plains. Such habitat gives refuge for about 500 bird species also as other wildlife species including leopard, giraffe, lion, cheetah, hippo, hyena and red lechwe. Also the reserve is property to a large percentage of Africa's population of wild dogs - catching a glimpse of these endangered gorgeous 'painted' creatures is surely a thing special.
Taking a mokoro trip is really a ought to here and it makes it possible for the visitor to observe wildlife from a slightly unique viewpoint as you traverse the lagoons and channels. It is possible to also explore in a car or on foot. Stop by for the duration of July to October for peak game viewing when the pan starts to dry up and wildlife focuses its interest around the permanent water.
Okavango Delta
Among the list of world's biggest inland water systems, the Okavango Delta is actually a highlight for a lot of guests to Botswana. The deltas famous floods are made by the Angolan rains and a quantity of other tributaries which flow down by means of Namibia and into Botswana to create the watermass for which this area is famous.
