- Find myself on Amazon discussion forum, lurking and reading people's comments

- Just realize I haven't checked my email in awhile
- Ohh email time - respond to email, giggle at beta comments, see editor email and get excited
- Then realize I needed to actually write some more. Do that.
- Get a new scene in my head. Stop writing what I'm writing and skip ahead to new scene
- End night

Things I do when I should be doing something else

Wow.... No, I can't believe you get a first draft done so quickly! Umm, I have horrible writing habits and procrastination wins out 9 times out of 10.ReplyDelete
lol- SO TRUE! My writing habits are very eerily similar to yours. Just throw in there some toddler distractions and you get the picture. =)ReplyDelete
haha. you and me both, jennifer.ReplyDelete
If I try to write at home, my writing habits are similar: check blog, play a quick game of Scramble on facebook, referee a couple of arguments between the kids, let the dogs out, holler at the dogs (as they bark incessantly), make myself some tea, open my WIP, etc....
But when I go OUT to a coffee shop, I find my focus and work straight through!

Somewhere between the lamb chop station and the champagne bar we caught up with honorees Kim Gordon and Dan Graham—the artists responsible for our Location Issue art covers—and chatted above the delightful din of Stephen Malkmus's perfect set.
After the gala concluded, the afterparty began, with Honorary Chairs Sofia Coppola and Chloë Sevigny gliding over the dance floor with the downtown art kids who couldn't find the change for the plate price.
Many thanks to Farmer's Organic Gin, Tuffe, Santa Marina, Michter's, Crop Organic Vodka, Chatham Imports, and Lagunitas IPA for providing enough liquid courage to make even Wall Street do the wop.

The use of viscoelastic foam products within the bedding industry has witnessed a substantial change within the kinds of beds and bedrooms that people sleep on.
Two decades before the most popular view was that heated benefits and a great mattress providing assistance ought to be firm or even difficult.
The significance of viscoelastic foam
Viscoelastic foam and springs because include a natural capability to form and cover itself around any large item placed upon it differ. As a result of this, it's impressive at shaping itself around a human body's normal form and, it helps your body in its most basic place in doing this.
Quite simply, mattress or a foam mattress adjusts itself towards the form of anyone laying upon it also it forms itself around bumps and their own shapes. Additionally, it reflects proportionately depending on the different loads of areas and the various limbs of the body which implies that it helps your body in a healthy approach, i.e. with no pressure points.
The summary of-of the is the fact that mattress, a foam mattress or cover must supply the most healthy and "equally spread" spread of bodyweight while asleep. Normally this can help good rest and notably reduces "somewhat" the amount of occasions that the sleeping person gets up while in bed, goes and becomes. Therefore a far more rested and reaching this leads to a much better quality of rest and invigorated the next day feeling.
Foam bedding products
There is certainly a quantity of bedding items that use all and viscoelastic foam are items which we put upon. The most obvious ones would be the bed and the bed, however, pads and convenience covers are extremely common and so they may be used to include http://finance.yahoo.com/news/top-6-best-memory-foam-042100531.html convenience to existing bedroom accessories.
Covers using foam create ideal additions to beds made up of firm beds or springs, plus they offer an additional comfortableness and body contouring. These viscoelastic covers can transform a conventional hard sleeping area into an encouraging, flexible and more supple one and in a portion of the price of a fresh bed.
Visco foam adjusts and forms and pads are important itself towards anybody resting upon its head. Which means that it maintains the rear within an excellent place during all levels of sleep and provides exceptional mind and neck support.

Samsung is one of the leading company in this world and mostly in India. It provide number of electronic products from laptops to mobile phones and televisions. Out of these things, mobile phones are most popular. It has variety of phones in every budget range. If I talk about android, then you can buy number of Samsung smartphones starting from 3000 to 20k+ range.
It's obvious that company or brand name is everything. If a company has better brand reputation, people are more likely to use its product as trust is added next to their name. Samsung is also a big brand and has trusted users but this case hold bad in android phone cases.
Most of the people hate Samsung android phones and even I am one of them. No! No! No! I am not saying that every mobile is bad and not to buy any of their product but as much as I know, people complain number of things about them and this is killing its big market sale. If you're trying to buy a new Samsung android device then must read this article to find out what problems they cause. Below I had listed all of them -
1. Short Battery Life
Although battery life depends on number of factors like app battery usage, screen lightning ( dark or light colors ) , brightness level etc., but the most percent lies in the type of battery and its power ( more technical, mAh or milliampere-hour ). Comparing to other smartphones, Samsung has short battery life which means that it drain faster than normal and as its use increases time to time, the battery health life decreases inversely. I had already posted an article on how to improve battery life. So better read it first and improve your performance by 70% least.
2. Hang Problem
Oh! No. This is the main reason why people hate them. Imagine if you have 500 MB or less than 1GB RAM device. As you continue to use it for a long period of time, a lot of cached data is stored in its RAM which will ultimately result into slow down in speed or performance. Wrapping up this, we can say that RAM is directly related to the performance. As Samsung also provide such mobile phones in low prices, people are attracted towards them and finally they complain about this hang problem. So basically it's not a fault of Samsung. In this situation, you can opt of other cheap and affordable alternatives like Micromax which will cost you same but are better in their RAM performance. If you're facing this hang problem in your android device, you can boost up the speed by clearing its cached data. To do so, follow these steps -
- Go to settings.
- Now open "storage" option.
- Here you'll find "Cached data". Click on it and a pop-up box will appear.
- Select "OK" Button to clear all data and finally it will free up your RAM. This will also increase your memory space.
3. Low Resale Value
It's obvious that product value decreases after its use and even after a day you bought it but comparing to other big brands like Sony and iPhone, Samsung has very low resale value. So this is another negative impact on users especially to those who frequently change their mobile time to time.
To clearly explain this more, Imagine if you have three mobiles. One of Samsung with more than 25k+ cost and other two as Sony Xperia Z1 and iPhone 5 with same budget range. Now If you want to sell all these mobile to me then which will be charged more. No doubt, it is iPhone which has highest resale value and then Sony and at last Samsung. So why to buy a product which has very low resale value?
4. No Social Value
Samsung android phones are just normal and they don't have that much respect or craze in society. For same budget range, people are more excited to use iPhone and Sony devices. Now let me ask you one question. What if you bought a new costly phone and people still think that it's just a normal piece. So do you want to waste your money on such products. Definitely not and in this case, you can opt for other available options.
5. Frequent Updates In Model
It is Samsung who bring fastest updates in their phone series. It launch new models each week. Although it's a good things but this all will confuse customers to find their perfect choice and what if you recently bought a latest model and within few week, it launch another updated model?
Indirectly, this will decrease your phone social value and as a result of which, its resale value will decrease. Now If I again compare this situation with iPhone and Sony than their social value remains same even after a new update.
So these are some of my personal views on why people hate Samsung android smartphones and few of which are truly assumptions. Finally if you have any questions regarding this topic, please let me know in below comment box. What other factors did you find and is their any counter point you want to discuss. Let me know. Love and blessings :)

The Hotel Son Baulo with its beachfront location is set close to the action of Ca'n Picafort and is a great choice for a family holiday. The resort centre is about ten minutes from a plethora of shops, bars and restaurants. The Son Baulo is surrounded by pine trees giving it a secluded feel to it. Inside you'll find the bedrooms bright and comfy, lemon walls are paired with wooden furniture and soft furnishings in Mediterranean blues. Glass doors lead out on to balconies and all rooms come with air conditioning as standard. Plus you've got the option of interconnecting family rooms if you're coming away with the children. On the food front, everything is served buffet style in the air conditioned restaurant. Take your pick from a vast selection of local and international cuisine. And as a little something extra, there's a fortnightly Majorcan dinner.
And then you've got the pool to consider. It's a large, curvy affair, with a separate section for children. There's a separate toddlers pool too. The main pool is surrounded by a terrace that runs all the way down to the beach so there's plenty in the way of sun loungers and shades. Completing the scene is a bar that's also got a good snack menu.

Where am I now? Is that not an iconic saying? Does it not bring memories flooding back from the past?
1.forward or onward movement toward a destination."the darkness did not stop my progress"
synonyms: forward movement, advance, going, progression, headway, passage"boulders made progress difficult
1.move forward or onward in space or time."as the century progressed, the quality of telescopes improved"
synonyms: go, make one's way, move, move forward, go forward, proceed,advance, go on, continue, make headway, work one's way"they progressed slowly down the road"
Progress is both a noun and a verb. During a long term weight-loss journey the same can be said. It's both a noun and a verb. Progress is telling the BIG voice of doubt in your head to keep quite, that you're doing this for you. You're making progress to be a healthier person, you're setting a short and long term goal. Progress can mean anything during this journey. So you only lost "one" pound, well you at least lost it and as long as you set your mind to it you'll never get it back again. That voice in your head telling you that you can't do it along with people in your life telling you that can't do it shouldn't be your focus during this journey. So as long as you really are doing this for you. You have to set your own perspectives and not allow outside or internal devices to derail you. I am here to tell you that if you keep taking those little bits and sips then those little things turn into big things and now you've gained that "one" pound back and added about 10 more along with it. It's a slippery slope that wont end until you put your foot down and say NO! I know this because I have lived it, I've tried a few different ways to "be healthier" and loose weight. I worked out but still ate the same I changed the way I ate and told myself its ok to have that handful of candy you'l l just work it off later. Well guess what? Later came and I ate more candy and I never worked it off.
This is not an easy topic to talk about but I think I am finally ready. I hit rock bottom around October of 2015. My best friend Erin had found the love of her life and they decided to have a November wedding and guess what? I was to be in the wedding as a Bridesmaid. That sounds so romantic, you get to experience the whole show from behind stage and on. Well along with that comes a lot of responsibility and pictures….oh the pictures…and parties….and a dress fitting! Lets take a moment to talk about the pictures and the bridal showers. Well since I was in the wedding I was also the center of attention I had to stand along side of the gorgeous bride to be at her showers. So that goes without saying in the day in age of camera phones there were a ton of photos taken of us. There was a lot of attempting to suck my gut in to "look skinny", well you can't look skinny when you've got a lot of adipose. This one picture in particular made me sad not happy as you'd think I'd be standing next to the Bride to be!
Well I must confess once I saw this photo I was devastated! Devastated at my size. How did I allow myself to get out of control? Meanwhile I wasn't thinking that as I got seconds and had desert just prior to taking the picture. It didn't matter to me, I was spiraling out of control and didn't even know it. I was squeezing into pants and telling myself that I looked great in them. I didn't know how I was going to fit comfortably into a bridesmaid dress and look good too! I didn't realize it but I had hit rock bottom.
The bride had already had this epiphany months in advance she was on a strict diet to help herself look good and make healthier choices for the long run. She told me about this program she was doing that I have mentioned in my previous post; about how skeptical I was; but before my eyes she was shrinking! I said to her I'd like to try this program. and in October 2015 she took me with her to one of her appointments. During this appointment you're told to get on the scale to have an idea from where you're starting. I am ashamed to say this but I weighed the most I have every weighed in my life! I was 259 pounds! I started crying when I saw that number, I couldn't fathom allowing myself to get that big. I set my goal weight to be around the 170's that meant I had to loose 89 pounds. From that moment on my life has changed almost dramatically. I had so many obstacles in my way, I had Halloween, Thanksgiving, the wedding, and Christmas! What a time to start the path down weight loss right around the time people tend to gain about 8-10 pounds I lost 8 pounds right before the wedding and that bridesmaid dress fit like a dream! I wasn't bloated and miserable. I actually felt pretty. I was able to enjoy myself and still loose weight. I made it through the holidays and still managed to loose weight while everyone else gained. I was eating "normal" and "diet" food. It is now April of 2016 and I am down 31 pounds and a total 55 inches. I now weigh 228 pounds, 31 pounds is a big deal to me. I can't remember the last time I was in my 20's. This program has changed my life for the better. The plus side is there is not set time to loose the weight I can loose it on my own schedule. It's very difficult when you have people around you who are not on the same page. People who say "it's just one bite of this or one drink of this or that". Just because people aren't on the same page as you doesn't mean that you have to bow to them and have those bites and sips. Do this for you!
So as this article says "Where am I now?" Well here are a few progress photos my best friend kindly made for me.
The latter photo is from March 2016. It was taken as a joke and when I saw it I started to cry. I didn't realize what progress I was actually making, don't get me wrong I knew the scale was going down and my clothes fit better, I was even able to go a size down in pants. BUT to SEE the progress that everyone around me had already started to notice was a big deal. I was sad and happy again, sad I had allowed myself to get so big and happy that I finally made a choice to live for myself. Happy that I look darn good and feel darn good too. It's easy to say "I'll start my diet tomorrow or I'll start eating better Monday" you can keep living in denial. I'm here to tell you that the grass was greener on the other side. I am doing this for me. I am 31 years old and by the time I'm 32 I won't even be able to recognize myself in the mirror and I can't wait to meet her.
I will kindly step off my soap box now. I just hope that this can reach the right person and encourage you to make a change in yourself.

I'm teaching sequences at the moment. I've always put sequences in round brackets, for example $(1,2,3,4,5)$ is a sequence whose first member is $1$, whose second member is $2$, and so on. I've also always used round brackets to define a sequence in the following way: "Consider the sequence $(a_n)$ where $a_k = k^2+1$ for all $k \ge 1$." I would like to know if this is in standard usage.
On Wikipedia, they use the notation $\{a_n\}$ for a sequence. I thought "curly brackets" were reserved for sets where order in unimportant, e.g. the sets $\{1,2\}$ and $\{2,1\}$ are the same set. While in a sequence, the order does matter, e.g. $(1,2) \neq (2,1)$. Just like the points in the $xy$-plane differ.
To compound it even further, the course text does not use any brackets at all. For example, they say "Find the next term in the geometric sequence $1, 2, 4, 8,\ldots$
Of course I realise that we can use any notation we choose, provided we define it beforehand, but I'm interested to hear people's preferences and their own experiences.

Pvt. Alexander was absent Nov. 25, 1863 through Dec. 13th. He was then dropped from the roll but he rejoined on January 10, 1864. No charges were preferred against him. He was paid for the period from November 1, 1863 through February 29, 1864 less the time absent for him and his horse. His pay amounted to $30 for his service and $29.60 for use and risk of his horse.
On April 30, 1864 it is shown that he was without horse since April 18. Then in August he was absent on special service. It appears as though he aquired another mount, for in October 1864, the muster roll shows that his horse died September 1st and that his saddle, bridle, halter and saber were lost in action.
No further records.

This superb collection of short stories by Christopher Priest lives up to its title, being both subtle and subtly off.
Off not as in bad... but off as in we're being carried away by deep waters that are subtly carrying away our sense of the universe.
You see, these stories feel awfully familiar and normal, or if they're evidently and obviously on an alternate Earth, at least everything seems ultimately recognizable... until it isn't. And this, let me tell you, is damn awesome. There's practically no way we can't fall into his trap. He lulls us along and then stops the stories at places that confound and make us ask really deep questions.
At first blush, we keep seeing big themes of incompletion, usually surrounding unsatisfying sexual encounters, synesthesia, all kinds of off-art, and the sense that the war is just WRONG.
But expect no resolutions. These aren't those kinds of stories. They're deeply personal, intimate, and often disturbing, focused almost entirely on the inner or nearby worlds of the main characters, usually involved in what might be characterized as a travelogue of the Dream Archipelagos.
And like the other Dream Islands, the islands are a character in themselves, they're both disturbing and fascinating, and they're set right in-between two warring nations that have been going at it for up to a few thousand years. They're not going to defeat each other. They have too much invested in just keeping the conflict going.
There's undercurrents under the undercurrents, references back to real and fictional novels, themes that are both profound and familiar, and it's always heavily sexual.
These are almost impossible to truly describe. They're just that good. Expertly crafted, confounding, intimate, and interrupted. A few of them are truly wonderful, especially the last novella, but after reading them, it really is as if I've been living a dream... Not wild. Just carried away with the currents.
If you can't tell, I'm kinda at a loss for words. I feel like I'm one of the characters in these stories, all fish out of water and simultaneously horrified and caught in the beauty. :)
Anyway. They're absolutely worth the read. Really amazing, actually. :)

Reviews of the The Dream Archipelago
A book that completely overturned consciousness
This is a very predictable author. When you get a book for free, you can read it. The intrigue is present, the unbundling is clear.
I never liked the book.
When you regret the book ends!
Easy to read, easy to understand!

Virginia General Assembly
Republicans still in charge
Jeremy M. Lazarus | 1/13/2018, 10:30 a.m.
The General Assembly opened a new session Wednesday with Republican M. Kirkland "Kirk" Cox of Colonial Heights in the speaker's chair in the 100-member House of Delegates.
He became presiding officer after Republicans scored back-to-back victories last week in two contested races to retain a slight majority.
With a 21-19 margin in the Senate, that means Republicans can still control legislation on party line votes, dimming prospects for expanding Medicaid health insurance to an estimated 400,000 adult Virginians who cannot afford to buy their own.
Outgoing Gov. Terry McAuliffe and incoming Gov. Ralph Northam have pushed for expansion that would largely be paid for by the federal government, but have been unable to end the GOP blockade.
The new session will be the 150th since the Virginia legislature reconvened in 1869 for the first time in two years following an act of Congress that dissolved the General Assembly, imposed military rule and forced passage of a new state constitution allowing African-American men the right to vote. That led to Virginia regaining full statehood.
Democrats saw their best prospect for gaining a 50-50 split in the House end Jan. 4 when the state Board of Elections broke a tie vote in the 94th House District.
Board Chairman James Alcorn drew the name of three-term GOP Delegate David E. Yancey as the winner of the race.
His challenger, Democrat Shelly Simonds, appeared to have won a recount by one vote, but the race became a tie when a three-judge panel overseeing the recount agreed to count a disputed ballot for Delegate Yancey.
That forced the state board to break the tie with a drawing for the first time since 1971, according to House records.
Democratic hopes of forcing a new election in the 28th House District that covers Fredericksburg and Stafford collapsed Jan. 5 when a federal judge declined to intervene despite evidence of major mistakes that led to 147 voters being assigned to the wrong district.
The judge's decision assured that Republican Robert "Bob" Thomas Jr. would succeed retired House Speaker William J. Howell.
A recount showed he won the seat by 73 votes over Democrat Joshua Cole, but voters who had been wrongly assigned due to mapping errors sued to block Mr. Thomas from being seated and to secure a new election.
U.S. Judge T.J. Ellis III found that mistakes were made, but were not the result of state policy or a systematic effort to deny voters. He agreed with lawyers for Mr. Thomas that the mistakes did not rise to the level that would warrant federal court intervention.
The evidence showed that 86 voters from the 28th District were assigned to another district and could not participate in the Thomas-Cole race, while 61 voters from an adjacent district were wrongly allowed to vote in that contest.
While the voters who took the case to court are vowing to appeal Judge Elllis' decision to the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, it appears to be a long shot effort.
In past decisions, the 4th Circuit has ruled that federal courts cannot intervene to cure simple mistakes in the operation of elections, despite their impact, absent evidence of a deliberate state or local effort to deny the vote to certain people.
The finding in the Thomas-Cole case is that election officials included the wrong boundary lines for the 28th District in computers and failed to make corrections, but did not do so with any intent to deny the affected voters a ballot in the correctt district.

A Creative Christmas Lesson
At this time of year I like to ponder the things that happen at Christmas and then find humorous ways of saying why they could not possibly happen. For example:
- Jingle Bells (and other assorted tunes) – too loud, causing environmental noise pollution and hearing damage
- Christmas dinner – responsible for obesity epidemic, only healthy eating lunches allowed
- Christmas presents – in order to hit recycling targets no wrapping paper is to be used
- Three wise men – how wise are they, set up league tables for comparison
- Santa's Outfit – not suitable for visually impaired/colour blind people
- Gifts for baby Jesus – select alternative gifts as current ones are choking hazards
- Sleigh delivery – restrictions placed by RSPCA on reindeer speed due to potholes caused by government cutbacks
- Dining table – workstation assessments required due to incompatible dining chairs/table combinations
And there could be many more!
The point is that it is possible to raise objections, cancel events or avoid taking actions altogether by hiding behind 'the givens'. Normally these are rules and regulations but sometimes these are just personal or organisational barriers that can be demolished if we have the will to.
So let's turn this on its head. If we can find lots of reasons not to do something as big and fun as Christmas, just think what we could all do next year if we demolished all of the silly barriers or objections that stand in the way (or which we put in the way).

Following their collaborative EP, Chasing Honeybees, in February, UK writer / producer Stumbleine (aka Peter Cooper) and vocalist/songwriter Violet Skies release their debut album, Dissolver.
While listening to the 10 tracks of Dissolver, I think of Massive Attack, Elisabeth Fraser, Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star, Jesus & Mary Chain, The Sundays and the explorative dreamy music of Kevin Shields and My Bloody Valentine. It sounds like Peter Cooper has been listening to my record collection and managed to succinctly create an album full of influential references borrowing ideas and blending sounds to perfectly suit the beautiful, soulful voice of Violet Skies. In much the same way as Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' was a perfect match for the Cocteau Twins' Elisabeth Fraser.
But don't think the aforementioned list is in anyway negative or condescending. It's not like the Jesus & Mary Chain influence is entitled 'Just Like Marmalade'. Although clearly recognisable, this is not a Gallagher brothers production. Stumbleine makes no attempt to hide influences in his work. In fact he has previously recorded a cover version of the shoegazing classic Mazzy Star's 'Fade Into You'.
Stumbleine's music is given more than simply a voice. The velvet vocals of Violet Skies gives each song a personality. I thought of Rhianna. But to be honest, the contemporary soulful R 'n' B style isn't my strong point. Though the 22 year-old from south Wales cites Joni Mitchell and the soundscapes of James Blake and Massive Attack, among her influences.
What I love most about this album is the way the music and voice, and the various influences seamlessly gel and plays together as an unabridged set of songs. So well in fact, that it's hard to think this is collaboration between two solo artists.
Dissolver starts with the deep sparseness of 'Thunderdome' like an introductory piece to capture the atmosphere and settle an audience before the show begins. Think The XX at their most melancholy. Then, with the opening swathes of distorted guitar, the shoegazing 'Sunset Boulevard' starts the journey proper. This is a beautiful song that perfectly showcases how Violet Skies brings life to, and opens the music as it drifts and floats around the room. Think Cocteau Twins and the luscious soaring vocals of Elisabeth Fraser.
Even on repeat plays, the album appears to end too soon – always a good sign with a new album. Other tracks include the catchy melodic pop of 'Heroine', with its 'Just Like Honey' sound, the err towards R 'n' B of 'Her Touch' and 'Whirlpool' and the swirling shoegaze-infused dreamscapes of 'One Step Closer' and 'Sleeping Through The Day'.
Dissolver is my first contender for best album of 2014.
Stumbleine featuring Violet Skies Dissolver tracklisting
1. Thunderdome
2. Sunset Boulevard
3. We're Shadows
4. Her Touch
5. Heroine
6. Whirlpool
7. One Step Closer
8. Baby Don't Go
10. Sleeping Through The Day
Stumbleine featuring Violet Skies debut album, Dissolver is released on CD, vinyl & digital album on 7 April 2014 on Monotreme Records.

Los Angeles - (June 16, 2003) - ASACP received over 4000 suspect child pornography reports in May and reported over 120 sites to the authorities. The F.B.I. has expressed appreciation on the comprehensive information ASACP provides on child pornography sites and the overwhelming cooperation of the industry.
Due to the increasing number of reports and the time it takes to properly process these, ASACP is reviewing its procedures and will implement new software this summer. Therefore, it is even more important for everyone to report suspect child pornography using the form at http://www.asacp.org/reportsite.html, said Joan Irvine, Executive Director, ASACP.
ASACP only reviews Websites.` Please report only websites and include the exact URL of where the child pornography is present.
ASACP does not review:
ASACP is an organization helping the adult site industry make a difference in the battle against child pornography, not spam or problems with excessive popups. Therefore, it cannot respond to non-child pornography issues.
Over 4000 adult sites that are taking a stand against child pornography proudly display the ASACP logo. If you are interested in learning more about ASACP or helping in the fight against child pornography, please view the ASACP site (www.asacp.org) or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

I've always been interested in looking at architecture as a manifestation of our desire to make sense of and improve the world around us, and drawing has often seemed to be a fittingly heuristic antecedent to this process.
As a primary means of notating a thought process, drawing provides a tool for proposition, for making sense of something you don't understand yet or ever could - it is a catalyst for both hypothesis and comprehension.
The American artist Roni Horn spoke recently about drawing being neither right nor wrong, which I think is one of its greatest strengths - as a medium it allows you to be exacting, as in the case of my own work, yet at the same time it can rarely escape its own sense of fragility.
My recent drawings explore the relationship between symbolic and architectural arrangements and meaning - often in terms of the beliefs and ideas that underpinned the history of these structures and forms.
In Zeitgeber, the focus of the drawing is the old State Department for Roads building in Tbilisi, Georgia - a building designed to mimic the canopy-level habitat that trees provide for their inhabitants. Flanking this image are two symbols taken from Le Poeme de L'Angle Droit, a lyrical treatise produced by Le Corbusier exploring the relationship between ourselves and the formal compositions that make up the natural and man-made world. Hence the title of the piece, which refers to features of our environment, such as sunlight that can have the power to regulate our natural internal rhythms.
In New Safe Confinement, the geometric pattern is made up of the shape of Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion Projection - a flat shape that when folded up creates a polyhedral, 3D map of the world. This form is surrounded by several of Fuller's synergetic projections - examples of his attempt to use geometry as a vernacular to transcribe human experience. The title of this piece is a reference to the monolithic structure that will eventually house the burnt-out remains of the reactor core at Chernobyl, Ukraine - the site of the worst nuclear accident in history.

The LUDCP is for 78 mouzas,in part or full, spread over 60 sq km. This is more than double the planned size of New Town (30 sq km). Th full area is designed for a population of 27 lakhs.
The draft LUDCP was published earlier inviting comments and objections. About 400 objections were received. Over a period of time, these objections were all hear by a committee consisting of Chief Planner Hidco, Chief Town Planner UD and Chief Architect NKDA. Certain modifications were made based on the objections and suggestions received. The final report with recommendations of the Committee were approved by the Board of Hidco. It will now be sent to the State Government for issue of the final notification in the Kolkata Gazette.
One of the recommendations the Planning Committee was that since few developers would have to spare their land for road widening for their projects, the loss of land may be compensated by allowing additional FAR for the remaining land : the additional FAR however should not exceed 25% of the normally allowable FAR subject to a maximum ceiling of 4.0 . The recommendations will be forwarded to the state government for approval.

Social & Civic Engagement
A quick read of the SHC's mission statement should give you a pretty good idea that the College places as much of an emphasis on what happens outside of the classroom as to what happens in it.
In between classes with leading researchers and faculty, labs, and study groups, you can carve out time to find out what you can get excited about, where you can make a difference, who you can help.
When we talk about "shaping people who shape the world," we're talking about you. Here is where you will meet the people, take on the responsibilties, make the connections, and develop the skills to change the world.
And this goes far beyond the SHC. All across Penn State, you will find students involved in groups that will make the world a better place.
So, dig in. Dig deep. And start shaping this corner of the world.
College-Sponsored Programs
Simmons-Atherton Social Hour
Residence Hall Concerts
SHC Day of Service
StuCo-Sponsored Programs
In addition to college-sponsored programs, StuCo — the Schreyer Honors College Student Council — plans events throughout the year for the Scholar community. Events include:
- Scheduling Extravaganza
- A fun event where Scholars share tips in the hours leading up to when priority scheduling opens for the upcoming semester.
- Fall Date Auction
- A fundraiser with proceeds benefitting breast cancer research.
- Coffeehouses
- Events staged to showcase Scholars' musical talents.
- Relay for Life
- The 24-hour American Cancer Society fundraiser that happens on the Penn State campus each spring.
- Semi-Formals
- Held in both fall and spring, these events feature music, food, and dancing. Need we say more?
Penn State Clubs & Activities
There are nearly 1,000 student organizations at Penn State, and if something that you're interested in doesn't exist, you can create it.

I've realized I am too dumb to have a smart phone. I had to google how to do a screen shot....then got excited when I realized my ipod that I've had for 4 years could also do screenshots....and the computer can too. See I told you....too dumb to have a smart phone. Apparently my sister and daughter knew both of these things and never bothered to share the information.
(for the record) ALT print screen to do a screen pic of your computer and home button and button on top of iphone for the iphone screen print.
I've decided I need a crash course in iphone usage. Whats your favorite apps and/or fun thing to use your phone for?

A few weeks ago I began following a blog that I dearly love. The recipes are not low carb or even sugar-free but I enjoy the way the writer shares her loves and family. She has traveled to different countries and the way she shares her memories of having lived there makes it seem as if I have actually been there myself and makes me want to go back again.
A couple of weeks ago she shared her macaroons with plum jelly and I knew that I could easily convert it to low carb and the results were wonderful. You can see her original recipe here.
I used a low carb sugar-free blackberry and put about 1/4 teaspoon of jelly in the center of each macaroon after they had been baked.
When you mix these you will feel as if they are not going to form a macaroon. You have to dig in with your hands and squeeze the mixture to form a dough and place on gently on the baking sheet. It will work.
For Macaroons
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut
- 1/3 cup splenda
- 2 egg whites
- a pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons of Coconut Flour
- 3 Tablespoons Virgin Coconut Oil, melted
- Sugar Free Blackberry Jam
Using my kitchenaid mixer I whisked the egg whites, sugar and vanilla until frothy. Using a spatula mix in the remaining ingredients except for jam. Using your hands form into macaroon shapes and place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 325 degree for 20-25 minutes. Top with 1/4 sugar free jam. Keep in refrigerator in a sealed container.

Djokovic, birthday boy Nadal reach French quarters
Paris, France – World No. 1 Novak Djokovic came from behind in order to win his fourth-round match, while seven-time champion Rafael Nadal was an easier winner Monday at the French Open.
Last year's Roland Garros runner-up Djokovic dropped the first set on Day 9 of the fortnight before charging back to dismiss 16th-seeded German Phillip Kohlschreiber, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, in 2 hours, 42 minutes, while the third- seeded former top-ranked Nadal celebrated his 27th birthday by predictably blowing past 13th-seeded rising Japanese Kei Nishikori, 6-4, 6-1, 6-3, in just over two hours on the famed red clay on Court Chatrier.
Following his win, the crowd serenaded Nadal with a rendition of 'Happy Birthday' and he was presented with a large cake on court.
In the Djokovic-Kohlschreiber affair, the German secured the lone break of the first stanza to grab a one-set lead, but the Serbian star, who angrily busted his racquet during that first set, recorded the only breaks en route to claiming the second and third sets and broke Kohlschreiber by a 2-1 margin in the fourth en route to victory.
The 26-year-old Djokovic is now third on the men's Open Era list with 16 straight trips into a Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Djokovic played for the first time after learning over the weekend that his childhood coach and the person who first recognized his exceptional talent, Jelena Gencic, died in Belgrade on Saturday at the age of 77.
The mighty Djokovic reached his first-ever French Open final last year, only to lose to the great Nadal. The reigning Australian Open champ needs Roland Garros to complete a career Grand Slam.
Djokovic's quarterfinal opponent will be resurgent German Tommy Haas, who looked impressive in a straight-set rout of Russian Mikhail Youzhny.
Meanwhile, the 11-time major titlist Nadal, seeking a fourth straight title at this lone clay-court Slam, improved to 56-1 lifetime at Roland Garros on Monday. The Spanish strongman has been brilliant so far in 2013, going 40-2 with six titles in eight events.
Nadal broke Nishikori five times, while Nishikori failed to break the clay court stalwart on Day 9.
The formidable left-hander Nadal will meet Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka on Wednesday, as the ninth-seeded Wawrinka upended seventh-seeded French crowd favorite Richard Gasquet in an epic five-setter, 6-7 (5-7), 4-6, 6-4, 7-5, 8-6.
Nadal topped Wawrinka in an ATP Masters final in Madrid last month.
When asked how he came back from two-sets-to-love down against Gasquet, Wawrinka said, "I don't know."
Wawrinka prevailed in 4 hours, 16 minutes on Court Lenglen against a distraught Gasquet.
The aforementioned oft-injured Haas cruised to a 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 victory over Youzhny in just 90 minutes to reach the quarterfinals at Roland Garros for the first time. He has been to at least the round of eight in each of the other three Grand Slams.
In addition, the 35-year-old German became the oldest quarterfinalist in a major since Andre Agassi at the 2005 U.S. Open and became the oldest French Open quarterfinalist since a 39-year-old Istvan Gulyas in 1971. He is also the first German in the French quarters since Michael Stich and Bernd Karbacher in 1996.
"These are cool stats sometimes to hear," said Haas, who has undergone shoulder, elbow and hip surgeries during his career. "I feel like I'm riding a wave that I hope to continue as long as I can. I'm going out there and I try to improve my game as much as I can, and to be in this situation is spectacular."
The 12th-seeded Haas, a champion in Munich last month, needed 13 match points to finally finish off John Isner in the third round on Saturday, but had little trouble against Youzhny. The Russian beat Haas in the first round of the Italian Masters last month and took the first game on Monday, then proceeded to lose 10 straight on his way to a quick exit.
Youzhny was so frustrated on Monday that he demolished his racquet by banging it nine times against his changeover chair.
"Bad luck for that racquet," Youzhny said afterward.
The quarterfinals will get underway Tuesday, as second-seeded former No. 1 Roger Federer will take on sixth-seeded French favorite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and fourth-seeded Spaniard David Ferrer will battle 32nd-seeded fellow Spaniard Tommy Robredo.
Federer is 9-3 lifetime against the former Aussie Open runner-up Tsonga, including a quarterfinal victory at the Aussie Open back in January. Ferrer is 6-2 all-time versus Robredo, as the two compatriots will meet for the first time at a major event.
The amazing Federer holds the men's record with 17 Grand Slam singles titles, including last year's Wimbledon championship and the 2009 French Open. The Swiss legend is also a four-time French Open runner-up to Nadal.

OK, so we were pretty excited when we heard a few months ago that there was a Cuban Zombie film being made. But after seeing the trailer for Juan of the Dead from writer and director Alejandro Brugues, we absolutely can not WAIT to see this movie.
Cuban Movie Revolution: Juan of the Dead?
In the hysterical sneak peek at Cuba's first ever Zombie film, we meet, Juan (portrayed by Cuban actor Alexis Diaz de Villegas), who introduces himself as, "Juan of the dead, we kill your beloved ones, how can I help you?" Um, do we even need another reason to be waiting in anticipation for this movie to hit U.S. shores?
"It's a zombie film but it's about Cubans and how we react in the face of a crisis because we've had a lot of them here over the last 50 years," the 34-year-old Brugues told BBC World Service's The Strand of his second film since graduating from Cuba's International School of Film and Television. "It is a social comedy, it has a bit of everything," he continued. "It has horror, it has action and it pretty much laughs in the face of problems."
Check out the official trailer below and tell us if you're looking forward to it as much as we are:

Sure, it's OK right now. Christmas decorations are going up everywhere and you're excited to wear the coats and sweaters that have been hanging in the back of the closest for the last three seasons. But just wait a few weeks when you haven't seen the sun in days and the sidewalks are permanent sheet of ice — the doldrums of winter will return.
Perhaps this year there's a way to embrace the icicles and enjoy winter rather than just enduring it.
Hygge (pronounced HOO-ga) is a Danish word that can mean being cozy, taking time for meaningful moments, creating intimacy, slowing down, not taking yourself or life to seriously, relaxing, connecting with others and having experiences that bring you joy.
Sounds lovely, doesn't it?
Here's how you can incorporate a bit of hygge in your life and make the coldest, darkest months of winter more bearable — and even enjoyable.
Get outside and appreciate the beauty of winter
This year, put on your warmest layers then get outside as often as you can to appreciate the stark beauty of the winter months. Being outdoors and appreciating nature, and getting some exercise along the way, will lift your spirits.
Give yourself permission to get lost in a good story.
Make and eat your favorite comfort food
"…from bowls. Preferably in bed under the duvet. With the electric blanket on." Amen.
Learn something new or return to a creative project you've been putting off for a while.
The joy of winter is seeing how many cups of hot chocolate you can drink.
Get cozy and all wrapped up in blankets
Being warm and comfortable is what hygge is all about.
Take time for meditation and reflection
Pause and breathe deeply to clear your mind and open your heart.
It doesn't have to be anything fancy or expensive, but just making one corner of your surroundings a little prettier will lift your spirits.
Invite friends over for good food and connection
To really experience hygge, share the warmth with those who are closest to you.

So, I dyed my hair with Kool-Aid. I used grape, so I obviously thought it would be, duh, purple. What I did not expect is that the blue base of the Kool-Aid dye would mix with my yellow hair and make a strange green first. Now I have green-blue-grey-urple hair, like a bizarre murky mermaid. I videod the process, so I will probably post a tutorial to show you how Kool-Aid dye works and all of that jazz. I anticipate that it will last a couple of weeks to a month.
In addition to people asking me what exactly I call this color, I have also had people ask me why on earth I did it. To me, it made perfect sense. In fact, the more people lament the disappearance of my blonde Barbie "look-at-me-fellas-I'm-a-pretty-lady" hair, the more I like my mermaid murk. While I have never articulated it quite so succinctly, I expect that longtime followers of my blog understand that I love fashion because it encourages us to dress for fun and whimsy rather than for mainstream sex-appeal (which I, for some reason, equate with the alternative). As a feminist, nothing pleases me more.
Many elements of media and western culture have ingrained in us a visual of the ideal woman. What is a woman supposed to look like? I was taught by mainstream visual cues that a woman is supposed to be busty and blonde, with a lot of makeup put on in such a manner that people think she is not wearing makeup, and with a particular way of dressing that shows off key body parts in a provocative manner. This dress is tight. Here are my legs. Here are my breasts. There is certainly nothing wrong with a woman choosing to look this way, but there is something wrong with society teaching us that this is the way a woman should look. The only way a woman should look is however she pleases. Blonde hair or blue hair. Long hair or no hair. High heels or Keds. Makeup or unshaven legs. Adhering to trends or ignoring them completely.
This is why I love fashion. It presents such a variety of alternatives to inspire women. By showing us silly ways to dye our hair and wear awkward proportions and humorous accessories, fashion is really showing us ways to self-identify rather than allowing male-dominated perceptions of the feminine ideal to identify us on our behalf. This is the brilliance of The Man-Repeller. The more we step outside of the standard idea of "what a woman should look like", the more we have the power to redefine sex-appeal for our cultural standard. Sex-appeal should be based on confidence and intelligence. The way we look should be something extra but unrelated, something which we can have fun without fear of judgement or consequence.
Right now, my ideal woman is Vivienne Westwood. How is one woman so rad?!

The chemise, or shift was the basic women's undergarment from the middle ages to 1900. For most of the 18th century the shift had a drawstring neck and arms with a hem at mid-calf or just below the knees. Ruffles could be added to the neck and sleeves.
18th century stays or corsets were lightly or fully boned and created a conical shape, while flattening and lifting the bustline. There are two major styles of stays in the 18th century. The first are formal stays, which were cut very high in back and have shoulder straps to limit mobility and ensure perfect posture and great bust support. The second are working stays, which are cut lower in back and have removable or no shoulder straps. These allowed for greater mobility and provide excellent lower back support.
Stays were considered so essential to a women's wardrobe that there were charity funds throughout England and the Colonies to provide women with stays. The term "loose woman" refers to prostitutes who left their stays unbound, or women too poor to own stays.
Panier supported skirts first appeared in England in 1709 and in Paris in 1718-19. Over the years there were many variations. In England paniers were sometimes called improvers.
An important style change occurred about 1772 when the overskirt became drawn up by invisibly placed inner tapes producing a ruched festoon bustle. It was called the polonaise skirt and was supported by special basket hoops. Basket paniers could be made into large pockets or left open at the bottom. It was said that the fashion arose when maids picked up the sides of their Panier skirts and pushed them into the pocket slit openings to enable them do their work more easily. The drawn up skirt revealed the petticoats and these then became an important fashion. The chest was forced forward and gave a pouter pigeon effect.
Hip pads were a poor or working woman's solution to paniers, and were worn for informal occasions by wealthy women. They add some extra volume to the hips without getting in the way of washing, cooking or gardening.
Stockings were made from silk, cotton, or wool, and were tied just above the knee with a satin ribbon, cord, or soft leather strap.
In Susanna's Act II aria from The Marriage of Figaro, she makes fun of Cherubino as she dresses him up like a girl.

The 2016 AXA PPP Health Tech & You Awards have recognised the innovative ideas of three companies working with MedCity and Design Council through MedTechSouthEast – a new programme to help medtech entrepreneurs develop and commercialise products focused on independent living
Celebrating the UK's most exciting new healthcare technology, the AXA PPP Health Tech & You Awards are a joint initiative led by AXA PPP healthcare, the thinktank 2020health and the Design Museum. It aims to guide and grow the conversation about health tech, empowering people everywhere to use technology to lead healthier lives and be more in control of their health and wellbeing.
See more about the MedTechSouthEast programme here.
An unobtrusive glove which assists people who suffer from debilitating hand tremors. The glove uses old gyroscopic engineering principles mixed with high tech sensors to counteract the tremors and stabilise the hand, taking the form of a minimalistic harness (the size of a watch on the back of the hand).
The product will be primarily used by older people who suffer from hand tremors which may be linked to clinical conditions. The glove provides the simple dignity of being able to eat a bowl of soup or hold a cup of tea without spilling. Research has been carried out in part with the Neurological Centre at Charing Cross Hospital, with over 100 sufferers of Parkinson's disease and their families to see whether they would be interested in the glove as a solution.
An assistive aid to facilitate gait in vulnerable groups; primarily the elderly and people suffering with neurological conditions, such as Parkinson's disease. Path Finder helps prevent gait disturbances that cause falls; such as freezing of gait (FoG), described as feet remaining 'glued to the floor', by providing visual cues designed to circumvent the issues related to existing cueing devices.
The solution is a pair of shoes with lasers at the front which project green lines ahead as the person walks, activated by a sensor in each heel that monitors the user's walking pattern and pace. The concept is currently being clinically tested in collaboration with a university in Holland, as well as research completed with patients, their carers and scientific experts.
Path Finder is the brainchild of Imperial College London and Royal College of Art graduate Lise Pape, who says:
"People who experience freezing of gait and other unpredictable mobility challenges are already under stress, which can make the symptoms worse and adds to the fact that people with Parkinson's often have problems with multi-tasking. So creating a product that requires too much user input, such as setting where the lines are placed, doesn't significantly help. We needed to create something simple and intuitive for the user, removing the need for the user to carry out a specific movement."
Read more from Lise on her experiences in the MedTechSouthEast programme.
AAN Medical – Dermaspray
The device has an automated, no-touch design that sprays medication onto a target joint. Even users with severely limited dexterity will be able use the device, as there is no need to open packaging or apply medication by hand. Topical delivery directly to the affected joints avoids exposure of the gastrointestinal tract and consequently reduces the potential side effects for the prolonged treatment necessary for arthritis.
Dermaspray aims to enhance the quality of life for arthritis sufferers and other patients with painful joints and limited dexterity. It will improve adherence to medication regimes and reduce the number of patients requiring hospital or clinic visits for therapy.
The shortlisted companies also include StepJockey, a digital health company which raised £60k through Angels in MedCity in September 2015. StepJockey develops apps to be used in conjunction with free-to-print stairway calorie signs which feature scannable QR codes help anyone easily track their stair climbing. Through crowdsourcing, StepJockey has enabled more than 8,000 stairways in 104 countries to be 'stair rated', with companies and councils challenging their staff to burn more calories conveniently in the workplace through a digital gamification platform.
Congratulating the finalists, MedCity CEO Sarah Haywood said:
"MedTechSouthEast unearthed a wealth of imaginative ideas for how technology can help us preserve our quality of life as we get older or experience ill health. I'm delighted that some of the best of these ideas will get further exposure as part of Health Tech & You, alongside a range of exciting medtech products."
The winners of the AXA PPP Health Tech & You Awards will be announced on April 25, 2016. For more information on this year's finalists, judges and activities, visit www.healthtechandyou.com

Okay, ladies. Listen up. It's time to talk about thyroid health. Perhaps it's not the sexiest topic, but it is an important one. Your thyroid plays a crucial role in maintaining a properly functioning body. The thyroid is involved with insulin levels, circulation, reproduction, metabolism, and energy levels. Even depression can be a result of an underactive thyroid.
Women between the ages of 30 and 50 are most prone to developing thyroid conditions, so it's time for us all to take notice of what is going on in that space just below our Adam's Apple.
Maintaining natural thyroid health is important, but how exactly does one do that?
First of all, if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, consider asking your doctor to check in on your thyroid. Thyroid health can affect a woman's reproductive system, potentially influencing fertility. (As someone who suffered from both fertility issues and recurrent early pregnancy loss, I sure wish I had this bit of information when I was trying to get pregnant!) Studies show that what's going on with your thyroid can affect the health of the baby too.
Having had breast cancer can play a role in thyroid changes as well. If you are a breast cancer survivor, consider asking your doctor to check your thyroid at your next appointment.
An estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease, and up to 60% of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition. Fortunately there are many ways you can maintain natural thyroid support, though you should be sure to speak with a doctor or healthcare practitioner before making any changes to your routine.
10 Tips for Natural Thyroid Support
Limit tobacco.
That one should really be a no-brainer by now. Even at relatively low levels, smoking can alter and diminish proper thyroid function.
Ditch all the plastics and chemicals.
There is a known link between thyroid hormone level disruption and both BPA and phthalates. Researchers have also linked prenatal exposure to BPA with thyroid hormone disruption not just in pregnant women, but also to newborn boys. (Scary, isn't that?)
BPA (Bisphenol A) is a compound commonly found in the lining of tin cans, hard plastics and even some store receipts. Phthalates are used to increase the flexibility of plastic and vinyl. Phthalates are used in hundreds of consumer products from cosmetics and personal care products to toys, furnishings, insecticides, flooring and plastic wrap.
Watch your water intake.
So while you may want to switch to a glass for drinking water to avoid chemicals in plastic bottles, you may still want to keep an eye on that water you are drinking. Water fluoridation above a certain level is linked to a significantly higher than average rate of underactive thyroid.
Avoid artificial sweeteners.
Get rid of them. They have been linked to thyroid disease (among several other health related concerns). Asculfame K specifically has been linked to a potential increase in thyroid cancer.
Consider going gluten free.
There is a surprisingly strong connection between Celiac disease and thyroid conditions, so a gluten free diet may be helpful for maintaining optimal thyroid health naturally.
Snack on brazil nuts.
Yup. Brazil nuts are a rich natural source of selenium, which is an antioxidant that plays a role in the production of thyroid hormone. Consume them in moderation though!
Limit your soy intake.
There are varying reports as to the extent that soy intake may (or may not) be harmful to thyroid health, but my view is to that if it may be helpful, then go ahead and do it. One article from the American Nutrition Association highlights the downside of soybean consumption, including it's potential negative affects on the thyroid.
Watch your weight.
Since it was already mentioned that the thyroid plays a role in metabolism, it is probably no surprise that there is a strong link between BMI and thyroid risk.
Consider essential oils.
If you've been on this website before, you probably know that I am a huge fan of essential oils for supporting normal body functions. However, it is important to note that the FDA does not regulate essential oils, and while they may be used to support the thyroid, they are not intended to treat or cure any thyroid diseases. With that said, here are a few items that are intended to help support a healthy thyroid naturally:
Thyromin™ capsules are a blend of porcine glandular extracts, herbs, amino acids, minerals, and therapeutic-grade essential oils in a balanced formula that is intended to maximize nutritional support for healthy thyroid function.
SclarEssence™ is intended to support normal glandular functions. It combines the soothing effects of peppermint with the balancing power of fennel and clary sage along with the gentle, calming action of sage lavender for an extraordinary dietary supplement.
EndoFlex™ may help you maintain overall vitality with a proprietary blend of essential oils that are intended to support the endocrine system.
You can get more information here regarding essential oils.
Educate yourself.
Talk to your doctor. Check out the great resources from the American Thyroid Association. There are even fantastic books on Amazon to help you learn more about thyroid health.

And after a while you can browse USED column of the V$OBJECT_USAGE view.
It tels is your undex been used. But it does not tell if the index is used wisely. ASH to the rescue. Possibly increase the time ash is stored. And here is a query that shows the clauses that have been using the index.
select sql_id,

If no index usage is noticed. The index is a possible candidate for dropping away. The case in V$OBJECT_USAGE.
But it might be so that the index is used in a non wisely manner. From there on you can interpret the plans. It might be that the full table scan would perform better.
And going to 12c there becomes the adaptivity of a cursor execution that will end up in the plan even it executes better in other execution paths. This was covered yesterday quite nicely by Nicolas Jardot. So for 12c the is the index used query here should be attached to dba_hist_active_sess_history. Future work to be done.
Before dropping consider making the index invisible for awhile.

- Turn your Ugly Wheel Wells Invisible
- Quick and Easy to Use
- Leaves a Black Satin Finish

Don't let ugly, soiled wheel wells ruin your beautiful detail job!
After you have finishing cleaning, claying, polishing and waxing your car does it still lack a crisp, finished look? Chances are, it's not your paintwork or trim, it's those ugly wheel wells. You need to make them disappear!
Here's the secret. While you're washing your wheels, spray Adams All Purpose Cleaner in your fender wells and give them a good scrubbing with a fender brush. Let the cleaner dwell while you clean the tire and wheel, then give everything a thorough rinsing. If your wheel wells are really nasty looking, scrub them twice. After washing, allow to air dry, blow dry or towel dry.
Once dry, spray a light coating of Adam's Undercarriage Spray to all areas of the fender well, then work the product in with an old towel. When you're finished, your black fender well liners will have a perfect satin black finish. They literally become invisible and no longer stand out where they can rob your car of its detailed beauty. Now you're ready to detail the rest of your car.
PRO TIP! Adam's Undercarriage Spray can stain concrete if it is allowed to drip off. Place newspaper, cardboard, or scrap towels under the fender prior to spraying.

Bill O'Reilly and Richard Dawkins Debate ReligionAuthor: Jon Martin | Monday, August 2nd, 2010 |
Atheist, author, biologist, and philosopher Richard Dawkins is not the type you'd imagine to sit down with the loud-mouthed Bill O'Reilly.. but perhaps it is a good way to spread his message to Fox News viewers. The high-profile Dawkins has become the face of atheism in the last decade due to the release of several books on the subject of religion, most noteably, 'The God Delusion'. Watch as Dawkins tries to talk some sense into Bill, good luck!
