Fantastic BMW driving experience
By EuroEnthusiast92 on Friday, August 04, 2017Being my first car, its going to hard for me to get something that matches the fun of this. Its light, agile and very fun to throw around while driving. I opted for the M Sport package giving a stiffer suspension and certain styling accents, but the package makes the car what it is. Acceleration is on point, and when sport mode is enabled the suspension stiffens up and shifts are shorter, making the vehicle that much tighter. As far as the interior, standard BMW perfection. Nav system is in my opinion the best of any car brand. Only major drawback looking at everything now is that this is a two door, but you live and learn. Not sure if this applies to MY17 cars but run flat tires are standard. Now this is good if you live in SoCal or Florida, but on the East Coast, our brutal winters have forced me to replace a lot of these which is very aggravating. Not sure who at corporate decided to outfit the 2 series with standard run flats but this is very annoying. They really should consider there market before deciding which tires to make standard on vehicles. In conclusion, a fun, agile, responsive, sports coupe. One the best I will probably every own.

Second BMW I've owned, very pleased.
By AJ on Tuesday, October 11, 2016I bought this car brand new about 2 years ago (M235i). It is an exceptional little machine. It is the perfect mix between sport and luxury. I have never had an issue with this car and use it as my daily driver. It can be a little rough on the roads of a city (especially if the city isn't well maintained) but that is pretty much the same of any non-SUV vehicle that is close to the ground. I would recommend getting the front and rear sensor packages, the front end hangs low and it is easy to scrape it on parking bumpers or high curbs. Overall, this is a great buy for the money.
- 5.0
I definitely recommend this vehicle!
By JoeBMW on Wednesday, August 24, 2016So this is my first new car and I am very happy to say that I am in love. This car is everything you want. Its fast yet good on gas, comfortable for road trips yet it can be very sporty and stiff when you want it to be. Its just an all around awesome car.

Fall transition keys
If it's not already in your knowledge base, fall fishing can be tough. You can spend hours on the water and have little to show for it, but if you keep a few things in mind your chances for success improve. The weather changes constantly, there is very little rain and clouds and the natural food sources are abundant for bass to feed on. Add these all up and you can suffer some tough times during the fall fishing.
There are a few things that I try to do to keep my best foot forward everyday on the water; let's just call them my "musts" of fall fishing. First of all you must keep moving location to location, if you're not getting bit in 20 minutes or so in one spot go try another. Location can be a real key factor in the fall as the bass constantly move, so your location can be paramount to finding fish. I start just about every fall day working from the deep main river areas to the creeks giving me lots of sampling of depth, current, structure and natural bait. When you do this your chance of a successful day on the water increase tremendously.
The next must for me is just pure visual observation of the surroundings while I am on the water; if I don't get a sense from the surroundings that an area I am fishing is holding fish I move on. It's certainly hard to explain what drives this 6th sense and makes me change but there are visuals like water color, clear, murky, or muddy water can be a factor as to whether an area is holding fish. Water temperature, many times in the fall you can be in an area that the water temp is much different from one creek to another when fish are feeding in 65 degree water and you're sitting in 70 degree water it's time to change. Bait is always a key, if you don't see bait moving or being busted in the fall you're probably in the wrong location.
Lastly you must be versatile; your best bait in the morning may not work in the evening. Retrieve speed may change drastically as the sun gets high on the horizon; bait size may need to change to attract a bite, the bait you used last week may not work this week. Be versatile and adapt and the fall will be easier.

Forever is a long time, translate that into car language and we are talking 150,000 plus miles. The long life of a car is just money in your pocket. Just like the human body, the longevity of your car has a lot to do with smart choices and maintenance. Car repair is sometimes a must but until that day comes treat your car with a little extra care.
Begin with a smart investment. Take time to do a little research before you make a purchase. Consider the age of the car, look up the car's stats, if it is a used car look at the cars personal history and be sure to check under the hood. You, the buyer, can make a knowledgeable and fact based decision from the get go.
Maintenance schedules have a purpose. Following an owner's manual can add years of use to your car. Certain changes are based on time and not just mileage.
There is always a need to save for emergencies in life. An auto repair fund would be to your benefit. Cars do break down sometimes and having a cushion of cash to fall back on could be a life saver. New cars may seem like they will save you money, but, generally, repairing your car is a lot cheaper than buying a new one.
Some cars are just prone to certain problems. The internet is full of sites devoted to such topics. There is nothing wrong with being prepared for those just in case moments.
Always take note of any unfamiliar sounds, smells, or driving motions you might detect in your car. You should know your car well enough to recognize something out of the ordinary.
There are problems that do not come on suddenly but are gradual to the point that they might go unnoticed. Let a friend drive and you occupy the passenger's seat. This will offer a whole new perspective from both of you. Together your ears and noses may pick up something unusual.
Look at the options regarding replacement parts. Your mechanic or auto dealers can help steer you down the right avenue of purchase. The key word is quality no matter what the part.
Take care of your car, keep it clean, regularly check fluids and tires, beware of rust, and drive safely and wisely. Do not procrastinate, put off, or prolong the need for repair. Quality car repair can be found right here at L.D. Automotive, come by and let us keep your car on the road and running for a long time.

Queen's Flower (2015) Korean Drama 4 week Review: The virtue of being consistent
Keywords: #KimSungRyoung #LeeJongHyuk #LeeSungKyung #YoonPark #KimMiSook #JangYong #QueensFlower #여왕의꽃
Video Version
Podcast Version
Hello. This is Prof. AKIA Talking to talk about a "Queen's Flower" (2015) which is a show that makes you ask the following questions.
Is the lack of originality the problem with Korean dramas?
Is it the lack of consistency?
"Queen's Flower" (2015) is a show that has currently aired 8 episodes in its indeterminately long run.
I just dislike the current trend of Korean dramas having not even an idea of how long it will air.
I need to schedule things in!
In any case, seeing the time slot and the pace of the show, it seems like a 50 episode full series.
I had been putting this show off for a while since I'm not much into 50 episode full series. I marathoned through the episodes currently available in 2 days. And one thing I can say about this show is that it is not "original" for even a family makjang type of show. In fact, it feels like a collection of basically most of the cliché storylines floating about in the Korean drama industry. If you have amnesia and terminal illness, "Queen's Flower" (2015) would basically be all Korean drama stories compressed into one show.
And considering the length of the show, there is still time for
Terminal illness!
And the odd thing is that "Queen's Flower" (2015) is not bad!
It is not bad!
The plot
So, what kind of cliché stories does this show include?
Well, the list gets long. You have …
The first wife's son and second wife's son's conflict urged on by the second wife which is intended to be reminiscent of the traditional royal household's power struggle narrative.
A sad story of a first son who has been scarred by his father neglecting him and his mother during his childhood. At the same time, the story is about this son trying to bond with a woman who is preoccupied by social climbing.
A poor women being betrayed by a lover and struggling to climb up the social ladder that she as low born should not climb
The second wife's son being under the oppression of his mother.
A forced political marriage story.
A "nice" daughter who was abandoned by her mother as an infant trying get back at her social climbing birth mother.
A poor girl falling in love with a rich guy whose family does not approve.
In addition to all this, you have a culinary cuisine competition story. Why?
It is just there!
That is a lot of very cliché stories!
What I like?
"Queen's Flower" (2015) is an interesting show in the fact that all this cliché does not really hurt it. In a way, this rather brings in a type of consistency to the show since all of these cliché stories have been well developed over a decade in the Korean drama industry.
A huge problem with Korean dramas I have is that they lack consistency. Even watching pretty good shows such as "Kill me or Heal me" (2015) are like being on a rollercoaster since they are high "highs" and low "lows". "Queen's Flower" (2015) on the other and seems to be pretty consistently okay. Yes, I said it! "Queen's Flower" (2015) is …
"Queen's Flower" (2015) is across the board okay. It does not really nail the "highs" but there are really no "lows". This is because that, since all of the stories are well traveled, the writer does not have to dig deep in her creative well. The writer here is Park Hyeon-Ju who has done a lot of these 50 episode full series such as "Wonderful Mama" (2013).
You just need to not screw things up!
Up to the 8th episode, she seems to be not screwing up. The pace of the story is good.
|"Wonderful Mama" (2013)
It also seems to help that the bulk of the main cast are veteran actors and actresses above 30 years old.
No K-pop idols here!
|Kim Sung-Ryoung
The main lead actress is Kim Sung-Ryoung who was born in 1967 and looks like she is in her late 30s. Her male counterpart is Lee Jong-Hyuk who is seven years younger than her but is still 40. With the parents, you have Kim Mi-Sook and Jang Yong who are in their 50s and 60s. Overall about 80% of the screen time is filled with veteran actors and actresses above 35 years old. This helps a lot in bringing consistency to the show in terms of the acting.
|Lee Jong-Hyuk
The younger members of the cast are not terrible which helps although they are nothing to really call home about. Yoon Park, who plays the second rich son, has been around for 3 years in supporting roles. From what I have seen, He is not on his A game. The actresses with even less experience (Ko Woo-Ri, Lee Sung-Kyung) do not really jump off the screen also.
However, I cannot put all the blame on them.
What I dislike?
While shows such as "Queen's Flower" (2015) do not need to be too creative, they do still need the attention of the writer. With the characterizations, I get the feeling that the writer is getting lazy.
From watching the show, it is like the actors were not given much in terms of characterizations on paper. Thus, most of what we see is the veteran actors using their experience to make something of the flat characters. This works to a degree but prevents the characters from just leaping of the page as great characters should do.
|Lee Sung-Kyung
This is more problematic for the young actors who do not have much experience to draw from. The reason Lee Sung-Kyung as the poor girl comes off better than Yoon Park , who plays the second rich son, is that she is just playing a "Candy". This is not that difficult a role at this early stage in the show. Maybe later, when she gets all resentful and revenge-y, Lee Sung-Kyung will be required to do more.
|Yoon Park
Among the cast, I like Kim Sung-Ryoung the most. During her long career, she mostly played the "bad" second lead. It is nice to see her getting more of a starring one. In many ways, her character is the most well defined one since she has a clear-ish goal. I like that!
I say clear-ish because she is still not as clearly defined as she should be!
One of the least well cast members is Kim Mi-Sook who is playing the evil-ish second wife. During her long career, Kim Mi-Sook has played many complex roles but outright "evil" characters seems to not be her cup of tea as her more subtle acting style is not animated enough to chew the required scenery which oddly enough is more Kim Sung-Ryoung's thing.
I also really dislike the flash forward opening to the show in the first episode. This has been a consistent problem with me as Korean dramas have been over using this story device for at least since the late 2000s. It simply gives too much away in the beginning. You develop preconceptions about the characters before actually getting to know the characters.
In case of "Queen's Flower" (2015), you get to know that Kim Sung-Ryoung's character is the ill-fated character because she wanted to become more than what her status designated to be all in the first episode. Thus, for most of the show, you are just waiting for the end rather than trying to understand the character. In other words, you just damn the character and deprive us from the anticipation of whether she would make it. Shows such as "Queen of Ambition" (2013) did not exact same thing.
Think if we got to know what happened to "Walter White" of "Breaking Bad" (2008-2013) at the start of the show? Would the show have had the same impact?
As a side note, I think that most of the stuff with the Lee Sung-Kyung's family in China is a total waste of screen time.
"Queen's Flower" (2015) is an OKAY show that is not too challenging to watch. The stories are cliché which is not always a bad thing. The cast is all veterans. The pace of the show does not drag too much.
What can you ask more of a Korean drama that lasts 50 episodes?
Considering the track record of this type of Korean dramas, being consistently okay is an achievement. I give "Queen's Flower" (2015) a B- for its first 8 episodes.
Score: B- or 6/10

About Sheila
I am Sheila, the photographer at Forever Captured Photography.
I am a mom to four boys and one girl.
A daughter in law and a two year old granddaughter.
I am engaged to the love of my life.
We have a house full of chaos and love. When it comes down to it we are always there for each other.
They have filled me with pride and joy! I am in awe of the determination and dedication my kids show for their passions and I can only hope that they learned some of that from me.
My style of photography leans to an artistic and dramatic side. It triggers deep emotions within me and I hope you as well as you peek around the site.
The main focus of my photography is Newborn Photography.
There is something special that happens at newborn sessions. No matter what else is going on in the world or in other areas of my life newborn sessions bring me pure joy. I relax and move into a different zone when I am working with a newborn.
A sense of calm and feelings of joy come over me. These sessions change me whether it is the baby involved or some of the stories we share during your session. Each baby has a special story and a memory that follows me long after the session. I often think of each one when I drive by your neighbourhood or town. And I often tell stories about little ones to other parents to share a giggle or rest assure the parents that other babies are just like theirs.
It takes time, experience, patience and love for these sessions and a lot of warmth both in my heart and in the room.
As a mom of five children and after photographing more than 300 newborns I am confident that we will capture amazing images of your precious baby.
Thank you for considering me to capture your newborn images at this very special time in your lives.
Take care

Beside weddings I love to do street photography and I try to attend many urban events that take place in my city, Bucharest. International Pillow Fight Day is one of the events I loved to snapshot because there was a lot of action, a lot of fun and many beautiful people. I am inspired by nonconformist, enthusiastic and happy people. Bucharest's bustle and my clients joy keep my work alive. 4th of April is the International Pillow Fight Day. The event took place in Bucharest Romania, and in the same time in many other major cities in the World like London, New York, Copenhagen or Tokyo.

[Editor's note – Rainer isn't a native English speaker so I've taken the liberty of changing a few words here and there. If there is any deficiency in the quality of language or its presentation, the responsibility is solely mine.]
I want to bring a new approach with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera MFT as a VJ (Video Journalist). I will not speak much about the technical side of the BMCC MFT (because there's a lot of good articles about that on Wolfcrow) but more about the practical side in the field.
First of all some words about me to bring things into context. I am working as a VJ in Berlin. There are a lot of meanings for the word VJ. In my context I mean a one-man-film-production, or video journalist. I am self-employed and work for companies like Audi, CeBIT, Agencies like KMS Blackspace or Young & Rubicam; or German bands like Subway-to-Sally or InExtremo. I am also a self-educated person, so to all the people tired of sitting around in boring universities or schools, yes there is a chance avoiding that, but you have to be extremely disciplined.
Here's a showreel of my one-man-company REMAKE.TV giving an overview of my VJ work in my pre-DSLR days:
Camera-wise I grew up with VHS and S-VHS making very chaotic art movies in the 80s and early 90s. Then I switched to DV, where affordable cameras were beginning to get a reasonable picture quality. I filmed with the PD 150, Z1 and the Sony EX1.
Working with heavy compression of DV, DVCAM, HDV and XDCAM in post was always very frustrating, because there are extreme limits to what you can do with the footage. When the Canon 5D Mark II hype began I was very excited about the picture quality. However, I became frustrated with the handling after I made my first shoot with it. And no more affordable zoom lenses :-(. I knew I had to take on the DSLR adventure, but the Canon stuff was far too expensive for my small purse. When the first articles about the Panasonic GH3 appeared, I knew that was my way to go – affordable, very film friendly handling and a beautiful picture quality at 72 Mbps.
But then the Blackmagic Cinema Camera appeared on the market, and I knew this could be the camera I was dreaming for a long time. The only problem was, it didn't really fit into my way of shooting. I do mostly hand camera under a lot of time pressure. Things are always live and happening, no one waits for me. So I had to find a way to mobilize the BMCC and make it VJ-able for a small price.
Marcon Glowacki from Eightline pointed me to Swedish Chameleon (SC). They had just brought out a cage and a rig for the BMCC that was not so expensive. It's very comfortable and stable on the shoulder an gives you different rigging options. Whether you are on the floor for extreme perspectives, want a flexible guerrilla style or need the flexibility of a good old camcorder, everything goes. The SC Cage has so many screw holes and lightning-shoe adaptation possibilities. No matter how many lamps, microphones or other accessories you want to adapt, you will always find a way.
This is my custom rig (the first image is the "camcorder" version and the second is the "guerrilla" version):
The Zacuto EVF is a very good supplement to the BMCC LCD monitor, which has two extreme disadvantages. The first one is light. If you have strong sun or studio light, the BMCC monitor is useless. So unless you want to walk around like a 1920's photographer you will need an EVF. I prefer the Zacuto because of the sharp picture quality, the three function buttons you can program with your preferred features, and the ability to use it either as a monitor or a closed viewfinder when there's a lot of daylight. You can change between the two states with a simple click system, very handy. Or, you can just remove the Z Finder with one grip. The other disadvantage of the BMCC LCD is the fixed angle. You have to go deep into the mud to get a good perspective from below. SC has developed their own magicarm, which I use to adapt the Zacuto EVF with Z-Finder to the cage, because you can quickly and comfortably change the angle.
Here's the Swedish Chameleon Magic Arm and the Zacuto ZVF+ Z Finder:
There's another big feature the EVF brought to the camera, and that is audio capabilities. Since the BMCC has absolutely no way of measuring the sound you record, I can use the great audio meters in the Zacuto. I do not need to carry around an external audio recorder that I have to watch and handle parallel to the other equipment; which can be quite a nuisance. The only drawback of the BMCC is the handling of audio levels via touchscreen. That's not sexy, they should have really made two knobs on the outside of body housing.
There was just one hurdle to overcome – connecting the HDMI Input to the BNC output of the BMCC. There are a lot of expensive solutions out there, but I found a MINI 3G HD SDI to HDMI converter for 50 Euros on Amazon. Just a simple small box, which uses 5-12V so you can run it on V-mount batteries. Here's what it looks like:
This brings me to the power options for my rig. SC had no solution to offer, so I had to think of something myself. I ended up using the Bebop Coco V-mount Adapter because it has so many outputs. I have two D-Tap and four Hirose outputs. I can power the camera, the converter, an LED lamp, a wireless microphone and more. Powering the BMCC with a V-mount battery is necessary, since the internal rechargeable battery gets empty in no time. With my Bebop V-mount V140 I can shoot for two days on one battery, including a light and the converter! And I shoot a lot a day. The power center on my back is also a very good counterweight to the camera and it takes a lot of load off my arms and stabilizes the picture:
One last thing I want to point out on my rig is the Swedish Chameleon follow focus. It uses rippled belts to connect to the focus ring. So if I rent a lens for just a shoot, I can easily use it. This is very easy to use compared to other solutions, where you have to adapt stuff to your lens. This becomes a problem when the focus ring lacks in width. If the focus ring on the lens has ripples that are too small, the belt gets no grip. SC offers lens rubbers to wrap around the focus ring. A nice feature about the focus pulling ring is you can rotate it around a short arm. So if you want it next to your finger on the "camcorder" or rather on top with a tripod you can adjust it for all angles. SC has made a special rod to adapt it to the BMCC Cage. The rod can be adapted on any height of the cage as you please.
Here you see the SC follow focus and the different orientations:
If I want to go from rig to tripod, I just loosen only two screws and I have the cage, a Manfrotto compatible baseplate and the follow focus, like this:
So, all in all I have an extremely flexible rig. I can shoot for many hours without thinking about power. And I have the beautiful images from the BMCC that raises the production level of my work to new heights. In Part Two I will write about shooting with SLR Magic lenses, the Metabones MFT to Nikon adapter and old Nikon lenses; and also how to handle the Big Data you get with the BMCC. Part Three will focus on my postproduction workflow and how to get the most out of the BMCC footage in FCP-X WITHOUT Resolve. Stick around!
I would be happy about any feedback and will answer all questions. Visit me on: http://www.remake.tv and .

Years ago, I was talking to my father and listening to him complain about misplacing his keys or forgetting to do what he considered a daily task. It worried him. He believed it was an indication of brain degeneration. I thought he was being silly because "everybody forgets."
A while back, I found myself plagued with fear about my own cognitive health – a concern that has continued. I could not, for the life of me, recall someone's name, someone I've known for over six years. I was blank. I picked up my phone to look through the contacts and thought, "I bet her name is at the end of the list," so I reversed the order of my search and started in the V's. Her name is filed at the beginning of the alphabet. Being wrong made the feeling worse.
I was horrified.
When JHP, JR was alive I called my forgetfulness "Vicarious Dementia" and pass it off as no big deal. This bit of forgetfulness where I couldn't pull someone's name from anywhere in my brain scared me more than forgetting one of my daughters' many activities, or to call back a friend. This event scared me because as hard as I tried to remember the name, it was gone.
Of course, this got me to thinking about my own situation and what I would do if I was struck by dementia. I realized I've been taking steps, somewhat unconsciously, to lessen the likelihood that I will be in the same situation my father is in.
- I rarely drink anymore.
- I've upped my vitamin regimen to include nutritional supplements that work on the brain and memory.
- I exercise almost every day. Injuries and illnesses are the only things that stop me.
- I quit smoking.
These are things that normal people do normally, right? Up until a few years ago, I took my long-term health for granted thinking I was nearly invincible. Life changed and I began doing unhealthy things in reaction to my new life circumstances. My current life choices are both a response and a reaction to seeing what my father went through. And, as one dear friend says, I'm not a good drinker and my body lets me know how much it dislikes alcohol. While I have been secretly freaking out about what my situation might be like when I'm older, it turns out this is a worldwide fear. Out of the blue, I received a note from a good friend that included a link to a NY Times article entitled, "Our Irrational Fear of Forgetting," by Margaret Morganroth Gullete.

List of Preity Zinta movies
Preity Zinta was born on 31 January 1975, in Shimla. Preity belongs to a Hindu Rajput family of Rohru in Shimla district. Her father, Durganand Zinta, was an officer in the Indian Army. He died when Preity was barely thirteen in a car accident,in which her mother, Nilprabha, was also severely injured and remained bedridden for two years. According to Preity, her father's early death was one of her most terrible experiences of her life, as it forced her to grow up. Preity, a tomboy in the early stages of her life, was influenced primarily by her father. Since she belonged to an army household, she grew up with values such as discipline and punctuality. She studied at the Convent of Jesus and Mary boarding school in Shimla. As a student, she developed a love for literature, ...By Divya» read full biography

Q. Preity, I am pretty sure, it must have been a very challenging role for you in 'Videsh'. A. Well, it has definitely been a very challenging role for me and I am very excited about it. It was very well received abroad and now I want the people of this country to go and see the film. It's releasing on 27th March and I hope people like this film and appreciate it.
Q. Preity, Is there any difference between you and the character you play in Heroes? A. I play the role of Kuljeet Kaur and she is the daughter of the soil. She is much more tougher than I am. She is simpler than I am, and to know the rest you have to see the film. Q. Even your attire in your film is pretty interesting in the film; do you get to wear such attire in your daily life? A. I do wear such clothes if there is Indian puja or something at home. But the reason I am looking Punjabi in this film is that I am playing a Punjabi in the film.

Implicated: The Brazen Bull Cure for Healthcare
His screams will come to you through the pipes as the tenderest,
most pathetic, most melodious of bellowings
If those without insurance cannot pay the fee, then jail will be their insurance. A place they can share with other victims – and criminals – like the vast numbers of War on Drug Users victims, etc.
In prison they can learn the pleasure of earning – for the State – the sum they owe or even more, depending on the depth of whore. Employed in the vast industrial workhouses – Newspeak Correctional Retraining or somesuch – for the profit of giant multinational corporations and their filthy-rich ruling-class owners.
The cost of such imprisonment would be borne by the State's beloved taxpayers, while its benefits would be enjoyed by the private contractors who build, staff and maintain these glorious institutions.
And let us not forget the excellent exercise inmates will be compelled to undertake for their new lords. Americans in particular might even catch a second peak of health during their incarceration, what with the minimal rations and long hard work hours. For all these benefits bestowed upon them, clients ought to be glad for having run afoul of the new mandatory health insurance law, or whatever other arbitrary, rights-violating law that got them there.
Thus the sublime perfection of the State's plans can now be clearly perceived. Close as a hair their plans do fair against the prime goal of total control.
In future not so distant armies of such downtrodden minions will shovel coal and mend sole in the darkly illuminated dungeons of privately contracted work prison complexes.
A return to the good old days (now known to the elites as "the excellent future days!") of workhouse times a thousand with all the benefits of gene-tagging, precise computer monitoring of all inmates at all times via implants and a rich sensor grid, remotely powered implanted lethal injectors to kill those who might manage to escape. No more need for roving militias or national guards to repress slave revolts.
No more need for guns once everyone who matters is securely inside or outside.
Betrothed and long ago wed in their complementary ways, both Police State and Corporate State will like twin snakes coil together to form the double-helix of the future's new DNA. And DNA itself, along with correct social heritage, will decide who is among the few inside the bubble of superprivilege-ultrawealth and who is encased in the toxic confines of the transnational prison-industrial megacomplex. Today's reality is but a rough precursor – a vague outline – for the perfection of tomorrow.
People who can't afford insurance ought to be imprisoned and worked to death for the profit of the super-rich. That is their most efficient use. Hitler made great money for his friends in industry by working prisoners to death – feeding them just enough to get some work out of them – for profit. It works quite well as an economic regime and has the secondary benefit of permanently removing surplus expendables from the population pool.
These vast institutions will be the ultimately voracious mouths that suck into their abyssal blackness first the criminals, then the poor and street people, next the former lower class, and onward until all but the diamond-toothed few stand upon the institutional and perhaps even biologic pyramid of total world slavery for their benefit alone.
Shoveling victims into their toothy, drooling mouths is the work of the State and its laws. And much work remains to be done, though the hardest part is already complete. Health-insurance law with prison punishment is only a frilly icing on a cake whose bulk is the Drug War and the concerted contributions of numerous other wars carried on quietly and indirectly by the State and Corporates on behalf of their constituent and investor classes.
This Future Level Prediction has a Hellrated temperature of 230 degrees Centigrade. Its theme is psychotically co-consonant with the Brazen Bull.

As temperatures rise and we find ourselves spending more time outdoors with children this summer, it's important to remember that high temperatures and too much time in the heat can have negative effects on your child's body. Here are some tips on preventing heat related illness in children.
HYDRATION: Staying hydrated is one of the most important things we can do to prevent heat related illness. It is essential to give your child water frequently while they are outside on a hot day. Many children may not ask for water while they are playing outdoors, but it's important to provide children with water even if they don't ask for it. Additional and frequent hydration with water or sports beverages is especially crucial while children are playing sports or exercising. Infants less than 6 months of age should not be given water, but they can be given extra breastmilk or formula to keep them hydrated.
SUN PROTECTION: Protecting your children from the harmful effects of the sun's rays is also important. Dress your child in lightweight and light-colored clothing. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses can offer additional protection. Keep children in the shade as much as possible and try to avoid exposure to direct sunlight on very hot days, especially during the sun's most intense hours (between 10 AM and 4 PM).
Apply sunscreen that is at least SPF 15 to any areas of your child's skin that are not protected by clothing. Using sunscreen that says "broad spectrum" or UVA/UVB protection is ideal. Sunscreen should be applied at least 30 minutes before going outdoors. Don't forget to apply sunscreen on cloudy days as well, as the sun's rays are still present.
Infants less than 6 months of age should be kept out of direct sunlight as much as possible. If you do take young infants outdoors, be sure to keep their skin protected with lightweight clothing and a hat and to keep them in the shade. You can apply a small amount of sunscreen to your infant's exposed skin if needed.
STAY COOL: Staying indoors in a location with air conditioning is a great way to beat the heat on days when temperatures are extremely high. If you do not have air conditioning available in your home, think about going to a public location such as a library, museum, or mall. This is a great way to engage in a fun activity for the day while still staying cool. Additionally, a cool bath or shower may help cool your child down on a hot day.
MONITOR: While prevention is the key, it is also important to recognize the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If your child exhibits any of these signs or symptoms, speak to your child's pediatrician or take them to be evaluated by a physician immediately.
•High body temperature
•Muscle Cramps
Following these tips will ensure a fun and healthy summer and will help you beat the heat!

If your car needs repair after an accident or incident, you don't have to use your insurer's approved repairer. But what are the implications of choosing your own?
If your motor's damaged in an accident or another incident it can be a considerable inconvenience.
You'll probably want to get it repaired and back on the road as quickly as possible.
Most car insurance providers will offer to have your car fixed by an approved repairer, which means using their own network of garages that they work with to get better deals and keep costs down.
Yet you might prefer to plump for your own choice of repairer, perhaps because you trust them to do a good job or simply because they're more local to you.
Insurers have to allow you to do this, yet while they'll still pay out for the repairs if your claim's successful, they sometimes impose some extra terms which could leave you at a disadvantage.
Most insurers will remove your right to use a courtesy car if you decide not to use their approved repairers.
This is because courtesy cars can significantly inflate the cost of a claim, so by only offering them if you use its approved repairer, the insurer can keep costs down.
On 27 May, 2014, Gocompare.com checked 225 comprehensive car insurance policies on the matrix of independent financial researcher Defaqto and found that 93% provided a courtesy car as standard during repairs.
However, only 7% of these would provide the courtesy car if the customer chose their own repairer.
Following a claim where a repair has been completed by an approved repairer, most insurance providers will guarantee the repairs, typically for three years or more.
If you use your own repairer, you won't benefit from this guarantee if the repairs are unsatisfactory, although your own chosen repairer may also guarantee its work for a certain period of time.
Of the 225 policies checked on Defaqto, 88% would guarantee all repairs made by a nominated repairer, while a further 1% guaranteed the bodywork only.
Of the policies that offered a guarantee on repairs, the guarantee was three three-to-four years for 55% of policies and five years or more for the remaining 45%.
Some insurers will charge an additional excess if you decide to use your own choice of repairer.
This can be as much as 100% added to the standard excess.
Check your policy documents carefully to find out if there's an additional excess for choosing your own repairer.
The final issue with using your own choice of repairer is that your insurer may not pay out the full cost of the repairs.
This is because it might argue that it could've arranged the repairs more cheaply through its approved repairer.
If this is the case, the insurer may only agree to pay out what it would have paid to have the work done with its approved garage, which may be less than what your own repairer would charge.
It's a good idea to get a quote from your own chosen repairer before getting any work done so you can send it to your insurer and find out if it's willing to bear the full cost.
If you do want to use your own repairer, the first thing you'll need to do is check your policy documents for any conditions and additional excesses.
Remember, you're highly unlikely to be provided with a courtesy car by your insurer, so if you need to stay mobile, find out if your chosen repairer can offer you a vehicle instead – many will arrange this free of charge.
Get a quote from your chosen repairer and forward it to your insurer for approval.
If your insurer agrees to the cost of the work, make sure you're clear over whether you'll have to pay the garage directly and claim the money back, or if your insurer will pay the repairer directly.

Big client or small, we are here to help.
The Pro Wellness Center, part of the PennState Hershey Milton Hershey Medical Center, and the PennState Hershey Children's Hospital, needed a web site. They wanted a wordpress web site they could easily manage themselves. They also needed someone who knew the ins-and-outs of wordpress, as well as had a strong design sense. Additionally, they needed someone who could temporarily host their new site until they were able to add all of their own content, fully implement the web design, and get approval from their upper management on the new web site. That "someone" turned out to be us at Holberg design.
The people we worked with from PWC were very knowledgable of how to add content to a wordpress site. They were also very interested in learning how to build-out the site after we put together its foundation. This job was an awesome experience, thanks to Ellie!
This job was an awesome experience, thanks to Ellie!
Michael Waltemeyer
Our "Site-n-Go" team; put together a design with the help of PWC, and built out the home page and one internal page to help start the over-all look and feel of the site. Our part of the site-build ended up being finished three weeks prior to the promised due date.

Property Location
Hotel Rooms : 25
Evgeniya ()
Main reason for choosing Pension Brezina Prague: Location
Location of the hotel is very nice, it is close enough to the center, but still not in touristic area.
To my taste breakfast could include more varieties of hot food, like e.g. poridge but this is maybe this is a feature of Check food that there are always sausages and eggs and rarely something else. Also price of breakfast could be included into room's price, because the room was expensive enough compared to price of breakfast.
Timo (Helsinki, Finland)
Main reason for choosing Pension Brezina Prague: Facilities
This is a high class pension. It's is easy to find and the price is good. Rooms are same size than in hotels and ventilation is really good.
Size of the rooms, ventilation, location.
Staff of pension speaks english badly. Lift was not working on the first day (room on 6th floor). Price was little bit different than it said in booking situation. Only few euros but it was not same.
Tony (Preston, England)
Main reason for choosing Pension Brezina Prague: Location
Plain and simple. A little more attention to lighting would help as the room we were in had only 1 main light working. Useful information folder in the room would have been appreciated giving information on hotel facilities such as the dining room location and opening hours, telephone system etc.

The truth about Mara Dyer's dangerous and mysterious abilities continues to unravel in the New York Times best-selling sequel to the thrilling The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer.
Mara Dyer once believed she could run from her past. She can't. She used to think her problems were all in her head. They aren't. She couldn't imagine that after everything she's been through, the boy she loves would still be keeping secrets. She's wrong.
In this gripping sequel to The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, the truth evolves and choices prove deadly. What will become of Mara Dyer next?Audible Audio
Four Stars: A book that continues to boggle the mind.
Mara Dyer wakes up in the asylum. She is told that due to her recent episode where she claimed to see her dead boyfriend in the police station, that she is going to be spending some time in the mental hospital. Mara knows what she saw, but she won't admit it to anyone except Noah. Now she is must convince everyone that she isn't crazy, but when strange things keep happening to her, even Mara begins to question her own sanity. Is she insane?
What I Liked:
- Whoa! This book was full of so many twists, surprises and moments of complete bafflement that I don't even know how to begin to describe it. I thought I was drowning with all the strangeness in the first book, but this second book takes everything you thought you knew, and throws it out the window. This is an entertaining series that continues to keep me guessing. I still can't decide what is going on.
- I always enjoy a good unreliable narrator, and I think Mara Dyer takes the cake for being the best of the best. This girl is a trip. I can't decide from what chapter to the next what is going on with her, and whether or not she is crazy. Even after the bombshell, cliffhanger ending, I am still pondering. If you love books with interesting, half crazy narrators, you must check out this series.
- The romance continues to blossom, moving slow and steady. I loved the new unexpected developments regarding Noah, and I loved him. He is solid, true and unwavering, and willing to do whatever it takes to protect Mara. I am throughly enjoying this relationship grow.
- This is one twisty, chaotic read that impressed me more and more as I went on. I can't go into details without spoiling anything, so all I will say is read it for yourself if you want a quirky book that will constantly have you changing your opinion on anyone and everything.
And The Not So Much:
- Talk about another cliffhanger. This book ends with a jagged, ending that takes everything you thought you knew and puts an entirely new terrifying spin on it. I was absolutely stunned by the final pages.
- This book incorporates lots of strange flashbacks in India that seem to be happening to Mara's maternal grandmother. I wasn't a fan of these chapters as I couldn't ascertain what their purpose was. I am sure in the final book all will be explained, but I must admit during these portions of the book, my attention wavered.
- Once again, I listened to the audio version of the book. In the first book, I had issues with the narrator reading at too quick of pace. I thought this time out, her pacing was much improved, but there were still moments where she speeds through it.
The Evolution of Mara Dyer is one heck of ride. This is a twisty, thought provoking read that will continue to astonish and baffle you. I guarantee by the end you will be completely confused. If you enjoy books with unreliable narrators, strange mysteries and ones that mess with your head, definitely pick up this series. Be warned, there are some nasty cliffhangers.
I borrowed a copy of this book from the library. All opinions are own and I was not compensated for this review.

The band speak out before their biggest UK shows in years...
IRON MAIDEN singer BRUCE DICKINSON has said the CARLING WEEKEND: READING AND LEEDS FESTIVALS will be important shows – as they're the first festivals he went to as a kid.
The veteran singer said that Reading Festival was where he was asked to join Maiden, and as a result is close to his heart. The band headline the relatively new northern leg of the festival at Bramham Park in Leeds this evening (August 26), before closing the event in Reading on Sunday night (28).
Speaking to The Sun, Dickinson said: "(Reading) is where I was asked to join the band and it's also the first festival I wento to and also played at. And this year it will be a big one…we'll be nervous."
Other bands playing in Leeds today include Marilyn Manson, Bloc Party and Iggy And the Stooges.
The weather is largely sunny, and My Chemical Romance, Boy Kill Boy, Art Brut and Towers Of London are amongst the first bands to appear.

First of all, an apology to all our youth teams for the lack of updates since Christmas on the website. Unfortunately due to other commitments we got behind with the updates, and then before we could get round to updating, we suffered a computer crash and all the match reports were lost! We have now updated the youth team pages with all the results and the final tables.
The Under 18s were the team who finished highest in their respective division, finishing runners up just a point behind the champions. Both the under 21s and under 16s finished in midtable, whilst the under 15s and under 13s both suffered tough seasons, finishing bottom, but with results having improved as the season progressed. Hopes are high for much better campaigns next season.

Yesterday I turned off the internet in my house. Yep, even after a friend said "never, ever turn off the Internet!" But the thing is you really can't turn it off because it's pretty much available everywhere, either Wi-Fi when you go places or using data or a hotspot with a smartphone. And today I am using my phone to make this blog post. I'm just using the mobile site through my browser, not an app, and so far it's working alright. Although when I uploaded photos from my phone I had a hard time seeing the photos I wanted to share, until I realize where the little clear button was and how to navigate. Once I pretty much finished writing I switched to WordPress's newest editor.
So let me get on with what I wanted to share. Over the summer I really did not create any artwork. I took a few pictures. But as far as painting or drawing or any digital art it felt like a pretty dry summer, in more ways than just the heat. So two weeks ago I went back to work, as school had started again and I am an assistant for an English language learners classroom. At the same time something finally started to come out of my brain in a creative way. Since then I've been wondering if starting back at my day job kept my left brain busy enough so that my right brain could get busy without being pestered by the left brains' rantings about why I haven't done anything all Summer. Yep, this thought makes me sigh and laugh!
So how this happened was that my sketchbook had started coming apart and I realized, oh, I hadn't painted the covers of this new sketchbook. This is my ninth small sketch book that I have painted. You can see the others on my Flickr page. So that's what I've been working on and I just want to share with you how it turned out. I use Copic Multiliners to draw the designs, Pitt pens on the inside and Zig Clean Color Real Brush on the outside to add color, and then sprayed it with Krylon Kamar Varnish.

The biggest challenge in using my phone to create this post has probably been adding the media and getting a cursor in the right place so it adds it where I want it to be. In the end I think I learned how to do it and hopefully I can do it more often as it's not impossible and it's definitely another option to using a computer to create a blog post. One of the best things about making this post with my phone was that I was able to speak a lot of this text using voice texting and then edit. It's always good to try new things.

I found it very difficult to understand most of the conversation on the call. While different accents are a mild impediment, and some of the discussion is simply over my head, the biggest problem is the phone line background noise (both buzz and typing) and echo. In any case, I believe I understand one of our upcoming tasks is to test the current version (0.2) of Felix's ITS Translate Decorator using an XSLT 1.0 processor. I will try to do the following by at least the October teleconference, if not September: * write shell front-ends for xsltproc and saxon on Mac OS X and GNU/Linux (Debian) * test them on the test files provided in example/ * once that works, send them along (here? send directly to Felix? I can't post or put things in discussion section of wiki, I don't think) * using front-end test ITS Translate Decorator itself on 3 or 4 different documents in 2 or 3 different markup languages * post result or summary (here)Received on Tuesday, 2 September 2008 15:52:23 UTC

Should I fix my old Mac? Or should I buy a new one? Is it worth repairing/upgrading? Is it better to buy a new one?
Obviously, buying a new laptop is desirable, but not everyone can afford to spend around £800-£1500.
Macguys is always happy to find best solutions to ease your life and save you some money. We bring dead devices back to life!
Each of us one day comes to that point, when we have to make this decision. We are tired of our computer taking us a big cup of coffee to drink while it boots up, sometimes even take a shower or get kids from school. We try to utilise that time. Another fear is that, what if it turns off suddenly like it has already done few times. Or, what if one day it does not turn on? Will all my data be gone?
Another scenario is that it is relatively reliable, but extremely slow. You hate everything and everyone including yourself while trying to save something and export it and send to someone, or when you are brave enough to connect your iPhone for synchronisation.
Now, lets get to he point. Lets say you have a MacBook that you had from 2006 /2007 /2009. It is annoyingly slow.
What are the upgrade options? And how long are they to serve more?
#1. The first and easiest step is to upgrade the RAM. (Random access memory)
Definition: Alternatively referred to as main memory, primary memory, or system memory, Random Access Memory (RAM) is a hardware device that allows information to be stored and recovered on computer. Because information is accessed randomly instead of sequentially as it is on a CD or hard drive, the computer can access the data much faster.
If you flip your mac upside down and see what year it belongs to, or click on Apple icon on top left corner and then click on "About this Mac" you can find out some specs.
Each slot usually can hold 2-8 GB of memory. If your MacBook is White/Black that you have purchased it in 2006-2008 and sharp cornered, you can upgrade the RAM to maximum 4 GB of RAM. Please do not expect to run Yosemite or El Capitan, or macOS Sierra. Snow Leopard it is!
If your MacBook is White and smoother in the corners, and you have purchased it in 2008-2010, or silver, that is called "The first Pro" than it can hold up to 8 GB of RAM Memory and you can easily run El Capitan.
Once you pop into our store, we can do that for you in an hour!
#2. Make some space.
Most of us think that if 20% of our space is free, we are good. However in order to have your old mac running quicker, you should preferably have almost half of its space free.
This means that, you should purchase an external hard drive and keep your precious memories such as old Photos and Videos there. However we can do something better for you!
#3. Have your additional hard drive inside your MacBook.
If you don't like the idea of carrying an external hard drive with you all the time, fearing to lose it, there is a way to keep an additional Hard drive inside your MacBook. Also the problem with external hard drives is that, if you drop it, or for some reason it failed, all your data will be gone. You can try recovering it taking it to specialists, but some may be critically unrecoverable, or corrupted once recovered.
The needle that touches the disk may no longer be able to read the data, or moreover, the disk itself may end up not spinning coherently giving errors during attempts in recovery.
What can we do?
If you have a DVD Drive, that most probably you never use, you can install an additional hard drive just in there!
However this is a very delicate job to do, and only specialists can help you out to choose the right disk and the right bracket and install it for you.
You will not have to carry an external hard drive anymore, you can select and drop all your data back and forward and have direct access to the additional hard drive.
This tip is applicable on all types of MacBook's with DVD Drives.
The procedure is, that you insert your old HDD in the bracket and as the main HDD you fit in a SATA Solid State, which is much faster than your old one. While your new SATA will be the main disk to boot from, you will always be able to use your old HDD as backup or separate storage integrated into your Laptop.
#4. Buy a faulty one and fix it.
Probably when it comes to cars, this tip is also useful, but more risky. With laptops it's less expensive and less risky, if you know exactly what to do, if you don't, we are always here to help and advise.
What can we do?
First, we already sell refurbished laptops with 90 days warranty! Yes, we give warranty for refurbished items as well!
If you do not find your desired item in our store, you can always ask for our assistance and advise. We will help to find the right one for you, check the specs and provide the upgrade options and the estimate.
#5. Last but probably, most important more advise rather than tip. You need to service your laptop at least one a year.
We have come across many customers who were shocked, surprised, and disgusted when we showed how their laptops looked inside. The amount of dust, dirt and "USO" (undefined sneaked objects) had big impact on laptop's performance
You might think how can dust kill the Laptop
When the fan gets too much dust, it still spins, but can no longer cool down the components inside. When the air is no longer able to circulate inside the Laptop, the parts inside constantly heat and overheat. This can result in graphic problems, as well as Logic board failure. The connection between the parts not made promptly hence causes slow performance.
What can we do?
We can do full service of your laptop. By opening it, disassembling, cleaning each component and assembling it back again, so it looks just like brand new!

26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Ezekiel 18:25-28
Philippians 2:1-11
Matthew 21:28-32
Ezekiel is a collection of the writings from him and his followers. It is in 5 parts and it recalls his call by the Lord, the prophecies about the fate of Jerusalem, prophecies against foreign nations, prophecies about hope and restoration and the prophecies for a new temple for worship and the return of the way of life in the land of Israel.
Ezekiel is an uncompromising spokes person for the Lord, like most all of the Old Testament prophets. He is passionate and displays it through his prophecies. He offers words of both judgment and encouragement as they face the crisis of the exile to Babylon and the false hope the people put in Jerusalem. He calls out the people to be responsible for their actions, not the community as a whole, although he still has words of warning for them as well. The individual actions that people take, make them responsible, but when you take all of those individual actions separately and combine them together, they form the actions of the community, there is no escape for the entire community.
Ezekiel had to breakthrough their self pity and defensiveness to get them to understand that God was not punishing them on account of their parents, as was the belief when bad things happen in those days, but that the individual who sin are the ones being held accountable for their actions.
As part of his judgment speeches, he often opens the with the phrase "thus says the Lord," and concludes with the formula "that you may know that I am Yahweh." He uses these figures of speech to emphasize that he is not the one who is making these judgments, but that they come from God himself.
The opening verse of our scripture today has the people complaining that God has been unfair to them. He then turns right around and asks them to examine their own lives by saying "is God's ways unfair or are your ways unfair." Ezekiel is trying to get them to understand that the individual is responsible for their own actions. If you sin, you will be punished, if you are righteous and follow the ways of the Lord, then you shall live. If you were a sinner and turn away from sin, then you shall preserve his life. After our verses today, Ezekiel tells them that God takes no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies.
Paul starts his letter to the Philippians today by listing the virtues of a good Christian; that they should be consoled in Jesus, that they should show encouragement in love, that they should be sharing in the spirit, and that they should be compassionate and merciful. If they possess these qualities, then they need to manifest them by sharing them with others in their world. They will not treat others with disdain, will not look down on others or treat themselves better than anyone else. Paul says that when they do this, when they treat others with love and humility, then they will be shown love and humility too. He tells them that this is how Jesus lived His life and that he is the perfect model to follow.
In verse 6 Paul goes on to quote an early Christian hymn, that tells of how Jesus lived his life, not as God, not as some superior being, but He lived his life as a human, taking the form of a slave, humbling himself and accepting the most horrible of deaths, death on a cross.
Paul uses this first part of the hymn to remind the Philippians of just who Jesus is. He wants them to understand that Jesus lived and died for them, just as He has lived and died for us and our salvation. Paul may have also been trying to make a contrast to Adam, where in Genesis 1:26-27, who was made in the likeness of God. Adam tried to grasp at being equal to God when the serpent told them they would be like Gods in Genesis 3:5.
Jesus empties himself from His exalted position and takes on Adam's sin to slavery and corruption. To complete the whole schema, He then further obeys God by accepting death. This sign of His humility and glorifying God was what Paul has been instructing the Philippians about and wants this to be an example to them. They too may be called upon to suffer and die for their beliefs, maybe suffering as Jesus did upon the cross.
This hymn is one that tells of the uniqueness and importance of Jesus, one that Paul wanted the Philippians to follow in their lives.
Matthews Gospel today tells of another parable that Jesus wants people to understand and how it relates to God and obeying what He has asked of us. The use of family as an example would be one that people should easily relate to. Many place in scripture use the example of two brothers who are totally opposite of one another. Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, the prodigal son and his jealous brother are well know examples. In each of these examples one of the sons is the righteous one, and the other is one who is not an example for the people to follow.
Jesus is testing the priest's and the elders again because they would not answer his questions about John the Baptist. They knew that whatever they said was going to be wrong, so they remained mute. But in this story it become easy for them to pick out who did the will of the father and who did not, and they readily jump in with their answers. They show their own faults by answering correctly, just as they knew how they should have answered His question about John the Baptist.
Jesus goes on further to tell them that tax collectors and prostitutes are going to enter the Kingdom before they will because they believed in John when he came to them, whereas the priest and the elders did not believe. Even after seeing the people flock to John, they did not believe, they did not change their minds about him. This ought to serve as a warning to them about Jesus himself, but we know that they did not believe Him either.
Those who sin and repent are truly the righteous ones, then and today.
