#flights for cheap
Cheap flights to Europe
Europe is one of those fabled destinations you must visit at least once in your lifetime. The only problem with going one time is that you're going to want to go again and again–there's just so much to experience.
Between the diverse cultural offerings that vary from each destination, and the incredible sights–both man-made and natural, Europe truly has so much to offer travelers. Because it's such a popular destination, finding cheap flights to Europe can sometimes be daunting. When you use Webjet.com you're sure to find cheap flights to Europe. in a matter of seconds.
Best Times to Book Cheap Flights to Europe
As one can imagine, cheap flights to Europe can be hard to come by during the peak tourist seasons. As the temperatures rise in Europe during the summer, so do the costs of flights and accomodations. So for the budget-conscious, booking for travel during the shoulder seasons could render some great deals.
Shoulder Seasons
Spring (March-June): During these months, travelers will be delighted to find mild temperatures, blooming flowers and trees, fewer crowds at tourists destinations, and of course, greater ease of finding cheap flights to Europe. Southern European destinations like Italy, Greece, Turkey and Spain are ideal to visit during these temperate and less-crowded months.
Fall (September-November): Like spring, fall is another season with agreeable weather and less crowds. As many destinations are settling down from the summer tourist rush, prices tend to fall, so finding cheap hotels and cheap airfare to Europe can be incredibly simple. Especially when you use Webjet.com.
Airfare to Europe
If you are coming from North America then you'll have more choices to find affordable flights to Europe than you can imagine. Most European countries have their own national carrier and those are usually competitive with the most flights as well, but all the major US and Canadian airlines also fly daily to Europe, as do several Asian airlines that often have excellent deals themselves.
Major airports In Europe
London Heathrow Airport (LHR)
London's largest airport is also the busiest in all of Europe, and almost always the cheapest place to fly from North America. The recently added Terminal 5 has helped keep things modern, and the city itself is easy to reach using one of many shuttle services or right on the London Underground.
Airlines that fly into London Heathrow
British Airways dominates traffic in and out of London Heathrow Airport. but it's far from your only choice. All the major North American carriers fly in, including American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and United Airlines, as well as Air Canada. If you want to use a local carrier you might try Virgin Atlantic, or even Air France after a change in Paris, or Lufthansa after a stop in Frankfurt.
Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
If you are heading to the continent then it's handy that Paris' huge airport is a good place to look for cheap flights. Charles de Gaulle is nicely designed and conveniently just a short train ride from the city center.
Airlines that fly into Charles de Gaulle Airport
Air France is the major player here, and they are usually a great choice for long-haul flights with their excellent food and service. You might even find a better deal on British Airways after a change in London or KLM Airlines connecting through Amsterdam. The major US airlines also fly directly to Paris, including American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, and US Airways.
Frankfurt Airport (FRA)
The largest airport in Germany, Frankfurt Airport also serves more international destinations than any other in the world. It's notoriously efficient and the obvious stop if you are coming to Germany or this region, but also a major hub for flights to everywhere in Europe and parts of Asia as well.
Airlines that fly into Frankfurt Airport
Lufthansa Airlines is Germany's national carrier and the busiest airline at this airport, but you can also reach Frankfurt on KLM Airlines, Air France, British Airways, and many others including American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and United Airlines, and Air Canada.
Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS)
Frequently voted the best airport in the world, Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport is a pleasure to visit all by itself. The facility is located just south of the historic city center, and best of all you can reach the city with a cheap 20-minute train ride from the station in the basement of Schiphol itself.
Airlines that fly into Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
KLM Airlines is the Dutch national carrier (now merged with Air France) and they are your best bet for cheap flights to Amsterdam, though British Airways flies here after a stop in London, and American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, and US Airways all fly directly here from their US hubs.

text: Mike Krumlauf 2 Posted September 13, 2018 Hello fellow cinematographers, I have a very strange situation going on that has made itself seen between 3 different models of the Sony HDW-F900 camera. The first 900 was the original model with first version software, the second one I had was the slash 3 (/3) version, and the final one i am investing my time and money is the (once) beloved Panavision HD900F. I am getting small clusters in what seems to be bright high contrast areas of vertical line smearing. I have used only 2 lenses between the three cameras which was a POS Fujinon SD Lens and an OPTEX modified Canon HJ9x5.5 HD Wide Angle. I have spoken to severial camera engineers on the phone all over the country and none of them can pint point what this is, as if they almost have never seen it before which, given this camera's age and lifespan i find hard to believe. The Panavision model has shown it the least and its so minimal i can actually control it and it does not affect my image but in the back of my mind im thinking.. "this camera was well over 100 grand at one point, it should not be doing this". I have no idea if it is a CCD problem or a lens and CCD alignment problem as i never properly had the lenses on any of the 900s properly white shaded with a lens file made, etc. I've searched up and down google for weeks with not one close example of my problem. Some people over at DVXuser mentioned it might be "CCD Clock Noise" which is gibberish to me as im not an engineer trained in these chipsets. I have included some examples of the problem. If there is something i can do menu setting wise or with an optical filter in a mattebox to get rid of this please let me know. Also, I am not shooting HDCAM tape on these cameras. I am using a Miranda DVC800 box and recording via SDI to a AJA KiPro Mini. The problem shows up on the monitor component out as well. If i could just figure out what it is 110%, i could better understand how its happened. It just blows my mind that this problem has carried itself over 3 cameras.. does not make sense... I posted a full frame shot of the image, then two cropped pictures showing the areas. Pay attention to the street lights and the areas right next to where the lights end. I am happy to post more examples if needed. Thanks, Mike :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A New Tale That's As Old As Time
Panning scenery and elegant, intricately designed rooms capture your attention, then song sets the mood, drawing you into the long-told tale of "Beauty and the Beast." The tale describes the struggles of Belle, who is chased by the persistent Gaston, after she ends up in the castle of the once-glorious and proud Beast. The inhabitants of the castle believe that she is "the one," and try to convince her that the Beast really isn't as terrible as he seems. What happens in the end is for you to find out (unless you already know).
Directed by William "Bill" Condon (who also directed "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" parts one and two and "Gods and Monsters"), "Beauty and the Beast" is brought to life with impactful, colorful computer-generated imagery and a wide variety of talented actors. Known for playing the intelligent Hermione from the Harry Potter series, Emma Watson stars as the beautiful and strong-willed Belle. Accompanying the independent protagonist is Dan Stevens, who also plays Matthew Crawley in "Downton Abbey," as Beast. Luke Evans, who is featured in many other acclaimed movies, stars as the haughty Gaston.
"Beauty and the Beast" was co-produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Mandeville Films, and debuted on March 17, 2017. A remake of the classic tale that was originally brought to life by Walt Disney Feature Animation, this family musical movie has a magical touch of fantasy that brings light to children's eyes, and still keeps adults entertained.
While it cost about $300 million to produce and market, "Beauty and the Beast" is earning the big bucks in the box office. It broke the Hollywood record, earning $170 million domestically, and $180 million internationally over the weekend, according to the NY Times. As of Wednesday, March 22, it has already grossed $462 million worldwide, according to Forbes, thus quickly exceeding its production fees.
On IMDb, "Beauty and the Beast" pulls a 7.9/10 stars, while Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 71% on the "Tomatometer" and 86% for the "Audience Score."
Personally, I think the film was successfully executed, and garnered the attention of the masses with its lavish scenery and music. The bits of humor were definitely a plus; something the original movie did not have quite as much of. However, although the story is a classic, I would have preferred for the movie to differentiate from the original plot a bit more. As someone who has seen and heard of the tale of the beauty and the beast countless times, it was fairly boring to see the same exact story told again, even though it was remade in "real life."
I do applaud the amount of diversity among the actors, but I think this aspect could still be expanded and improved. In this remake, LeFou (played by Josh Gad), Gaston's dedicated admirer and sidekick, was portrayed as someone who realizes their sexuality, as shown in the final scene, where LeFou is seen dancing with another man, unlike the other pairs.
Another point to make is the beautifully executed CGI. Certain characters, such as Lumière (Ewan McGregor) and Cogsworth (Ian McKellen), were smartly reimagined, yet still recognizable as the original candlestick and clock. One comment that I will allow myself to make is that the Beast's movements seemed to be quite stiff and unnatural, although I'm not sure if that was intentional. Other visual aspects, such as costumes and furnishing, were very elegant. The lighting was also pretty on the spot in terms of projecting tone.
Many of the quotes from the characters comedically entertain the audience, such as, "It's not over till the fat lady sings," as yelled by Madame Garderobe before jumping into action, or "You are the wildest, most gorgeous thing I've ever seen! Nobody deserves you," as said by Gaston when checking out his own reflection.
If you are new to the whole "Beauty and the Beast" fairytale, by all means, check it out! Or, if you've seen the 1991 version, have fun reminiscing a bit of the childhood we once had. A tip: the 3D experience is definitely worth investing in, especially during the extravagant "Be Our Guest" scene and the ballroom dance between the beast and Belle. So, feel free to waltz off to the theater and pick up some tickets — it'll be a magical night.

Unless you frequent right wing blogs such as Sonoran Alliance or SeeingRedAZ, you may have missed the tidbit that disgraced ex-state Senator Russell Pearce has won the endorsement of Arizona GOP Chair Tom Morrissey for the unpaid position Pearce is seeking: First Vice Chair of the Arizona Republican Party.
Morrissey's endorsement was never in doubt. He's a stalwart Pearce backer, and spoke at a meagerly-attended rally on Pearce's behalf in Mesa during last year's recall election.
Pearce is running against incumbent Diane Ortiz-Parsons, who, to judge by her website, is as conservative as Pearce. She also apparently has a good reputation, and is respected for the job she's done.
But the consensus seems to be that, being that she's a Latina and that the biggest bigot in the state wants her job, she will be crushed when the vote goes down at this Saturday's state GOP meeting.
Lovely message some Arizona tuskers are sending, eh? If you're brown, we don't want you around, unless your name happens to be Olivia Cortes.
Jeff Vath over at the non-crazy Republican blog Politico Mafioso predicts a Pearce win and says insiders are telling him the plan is for Morrissey to step down at some point and turn the Arizona Republican Party over to Pearce.
As I mentioned in a recent blog, the state GOP's bylaws currently contain this provision:
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
"In the case of a vacancy in the office of the state chairman, unless a statutory or mandatory meeting is scheduled within 90 days, the first vice chairman shall call a meeting of the state committee within 45 days to elect a new state chairman."
The chairmanship is unpaid, but it would give Pearce a power-base and a platform to spout his odious anti-immigrant message. That's in addition to the paying gig he just scored over at Sean McCaffrey's nativist shill group Ban Amnesty Now.
That Arizona Republicans would be this close to handing their organization over to a recalled politician whose tenure in office and re-election effort both were mired in corruption and controversy reveals the deep insanity at the core of the Sand Land GOP.
They ain't all nuts, but the Looney Tunes run the bin, and as long as the GOP remains dominant in Arizona, that state of affairs concerns us all.

Tommy Watson a senior Pitjantjatjara man was born around the 1930's in the small community of Irrunytju. He was a founding member of the Irrunytju Art Centre and commenced painting in 2002. He has become a significant contemporary Indigenous Australian artist. Tommy Watson began painting in 2001, at the same time becoming one of a handful of painters establishing the Irrunytju community art centre in 2001, soon after being identified as a leading light in the Aboriginal Art movement, and is held in high esteem both nationally and internationally.
Tommy Watson's use of strong vibrant colours such as oranges, burgundies, reds, ivory, blues, pinks (and more recently highlights of green) create unfettered, sumptuous and complex compositions that symbolically represent the stories embedded in his country. Judith Ryan, Senior Curator of indigenous Art at the National Gallery of Victoria, has described Watson's colour as 'incandescent'.
Watson's work has received critical acclaim, both within Australia and internationally, with art critics drawing parallels between Watson and the great Western Abstractionists Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Kasimir Malevich, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman for whom spiritual reference was very important. Kandinsky believed that ' ..words, musical tones and colours possess the physical power of calling forth soul vibrations. They create identical vibrations, ultimately bringing about the attainment of knowledge. John MacDonald wrote of Watson's work in the Sydney Morning Herald 'Watson is a master of invention and arguably the outstanding painter of the Western Desert. Each painting tells a specific story, but the most impressive feature is the artist's use of colour. Like Matisse, Watson knows that one may have warm and cool shades of red, warm and cool shades of blue. but he knows this instinctively, without any formal training. What he knows cannot be verbalised, and cannot be taught, yet no one could see these paintings and not be convinced of their profundity.'

The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi
Paperback - C Format
December 2010
336 pages
Science Fiction
The most exciting SF debut of the last five years - a star to stand alongside Alastair Reynolds and Richard Morgan.
Jean le Flambeur is a post-human criminal, mind burglar, confidence artist and trickster. His origins are shrouded in mystery, but his exploits are known throughout the Heterarchy - from breaking into the vast Zeusbrains of the Inner System to steal their thoughts, to stealing rare Earth antiques from the aristocrats of the Moving Cities of Mars.Except that Jean made one mistake. Now he is condemned to play endless variations of a game-theoretic riddle in the vast virtual jail of the Axelrod Archons - the Dilemma Prison - against countless copies of himself. Jean's routine of death, defection and cooperation is upset by the arrival of Mieli and her spidership, Perhonen. She offers him a chance to win back his freedom and the powers of his old self - in exchange for finishing the one heist he never quite managed...
Hannu Rajaniemi is from Finland. He is 30 years old and has a PhD in String Theory. He has lived, taught and worked in Edinburgh for the last seven years where he was a member of the high profile writing group that also included Hal Duncan and Alan Campbell.
Previous Books:
The Quantum Thief (HB 9780575088870 Oct 10)
Hannu Rejaniemi is a new author and this is his first novel, so I've taken that into account when reading and reviewing The Quantum Thief. It takes a writer a book or two to develop their craft and you really can't base an author on just one book.
The Quantum Thief is about a thief, Jean le Flambeur, recently rescued from the Dilemma Prison by the mysterious Mieli and her talking spaceship (sounds like Hitchhikers Guide to me), incurring a debt that can only be repaid in a moving city on Mars.
Rajaniemi has developed a very complex and intriguing society which comes across well. In some ways there may almost be too many ideas being thrown out - I'm sure I passed over some mind-bending bits of future society without even noticing, but that's hardly a criticism of the book.
The story is also quite complex and well though out, not bad for a first novel at all.

We have 20 Artists, from 9 countries.
expect a good, clean fight.
In the event of a knock-down, you will be directed to go to a neutral

Art International Zürich 2014.
The quality was a little more erratic at this year's installment of Art International Zürich - Contemporary Art Fair. It also seemed decidedly less 'International' and appeared to have fewer Galleries participating and more booths occupied by Individual Artists (not necessarily a bad thing).
That being said, there was still some good stuff and it started me looking forward to KUNST 14 in a couple of weeks and the rumour of a 3rd Fair coming to Zürich next year.

On 20-Minute Blogs
And an update.
I feel as if I have been neglecting this blog already, and have only been posting sporadically.
Before coming here to Sweden to study, I have envisioned myself posting so many blogs about life as an international student, and all tha, but i guess life simply has a way of screwing things for you.
don't get me wrong. life as an international student is the best experience i've had so far and i would recommend it to everyone! it's everything it's cracked up to be! not only do you learn through the course, you learn so much more, especially about the different cultures of your fellow international students. and then there's the parties and the socializing (and the dating!) and the travelling! oh, don't get me started on the travelling! The thing is, i have been so busy with all the studying and the partying and the travelling that i simply do not have the time to sit down and write, which sucks!
but i'm hoping all that will change soon! (i hope!) i am forcing myself to post something at least once a week, or at least once every two weeks until the rest of my stay here in Sweden and i plan to do quick blogs that takes about 20 minutes or less to post.
my plan is to start playing a re-run of one episode from my favorite sitcoms which runs about 22 minutes or less and complete a blog post within that time.
i have bought myself a new bluetooth keyboard for iPad, which snaps seamlessly into my iPad2, and that makes it soo much easier for me to blog via Blogsy for iPad and i love it!
I have several blog topics in mind that i have yet to write and i'm kinda hoping i will get around to writing it within the coming weeks.
also, my Beats Solo headphones snapped in half about a month ago and i'm kinda bummed about that one. i need to get myself a replacement soon as i decide on a good one but it's been hard for me to find one as the selection is very limited in the town i live in, not to mention everything is so much more expensive here than back home. luckily, my Beats Studio Pro is still intact and i'm using that until i find a good compact headphones. the Studio Pro is fantastic, but it's just too bulky and it's not practical to lug it all around town!
another update i'm kinda bummed about is that the security checks in European airports (at least the ones in Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Paris) requires that you take out your iPads from your bag during X-ray, which sucks big time. in most airports i've been at before, they never ask me to take out my iPad! that's even one of the main selling points of travelling with an iPad versus a full laptop. boo.
okay. my HIMYM episode is almost done and so i must end this seemingly endless tirade!
til next week. ciao guys!

Helical pile installation isn't a DIY project. The process is complex and requires a certified professional to be completed correctly.
When do you need helical piles for foundation repair?
Helical piles are used in foundation repair when there is structural damage or settlement. Damages such as bowing walls, sticking windows, and wall cracks that are larger than a hairline are indicative of structural damage and settlement. If you find hairline cracks or other cosmetic issues, these could be suggestive of a larger structural issue, but generally won't require helical piles.
Keep in mind that there are other options for structural repair outside of helical piles. For example, your foundation repair contractor may recommend resistance piers instead. Recommendations depend somewhat on your region, but in general, there are plenty of ways to repair a foundation. However, helical piles have several advantages that make them the preferred choice for structural repair.
For starters, helical piles are less noisy and generate less vibration during installation. The equipment is small, which makes it less obtrusive and easier to install in tighter spaces. Helical piles are also fast to install and do not require pile driving equipment, which makes the installation process easier.
How can I get a foundation repair estimate?
In order to determine the best course of action for your foundation repair, we recommend hiring an engineer who is a design professional. While a contractor will give you a free estimate, a paid design engineer who works for an engineering firm can give you an unbiased evaluation that includes the exact foundation repair design you need. In some areas of the country, the repair plan must include a permit from a design professional, so hiring a design engineer is unavoidable.
Many homeowners obtain estimates directly from contractors. However, this often results in drastically different estimates. One contractor may say you need to underpin the whole structure with 30 piles, while another might suggest 10 piles. Unless you're a design engineer, you won't know which is correct.
Once you choose a design engineer, the engineer will craft the Plan of Repair. This shows the locations of the piles and the spacing depths, which determine where the piles go. The engineer will determine how many piles are needed by evaluating the overall structure, such as weight, stories, and building materials, as well as the type of foundation it's built on (e.g. crawl space, basement, strip footings, pier and beam foundations). Other important factors include:
- Foundation condition
- Foundation age
- Wall type and sheeting grade
- Concrete reinforcement
Once you have the Plan of Repair, it's time to contact a contractor. My Foundation Solutions has certified CHANCE contractors who are often also engineers and perform work with the CHANCE 30-year warranty. If you have your Plan of Repair, contact My Foundation Solutions to find the closest certified contractor.
What is the helical pile installation process like?
To understand how the helical pile installation process works, take the following example.
Say you're a typical homeowner with full basement. Your foundation damage requires underpinning 2 sides of the house – the side and the back.
First, the contractor will go in with small mini excavator and excavate adjacent to the foundation to expose the footing. With a basement, the contractor will typically have to dig down eight feet or more to expose the basement wall and footer below. Most residential homes are built on a continuous strip footing (two feet wide) or a pier and beam foundation (typically used for homes). The installer will mark the pier location for each pier on the wall, based on the Plan of Repair. Then, the installer will dig out each pile location and chip the concrete on the footing to make it flush with the bracket.
Once the footings are prepped, the piles get installed. Most contractors will use the same mini excavator for this process. They simply take the bucket off and mount their hydraulic torque motor on it. Then, they will install the helical pile up to the prepared footing. The helical pile is installed up to the minimum torque and minimum depth. The installer will go all the way around until the helical piles are all installed, and then will put the foundation repair brackets on. Finally, they'll do backfill repair and will replace the excavated land to finish the process.
What should homeowners watch for as their foundation is being repaired?
During the installation process, you should make sure the installer is following the Plan of Repair. You can ask the installer specifics on the minimum depth and minimum torque. If the installer doesn't know the minimum depth and torque, this is a red flag that the piles are not being installed correctly.
You can also ask to see the installer's installation logs. All installers should be filling out their installation logs as they go. If the installer makes excuses for the log, this is another red flag.
Also see if the foundation repair comes with a warranty. CHANCE products hold a 30-year transferrable warranty, because we believe our products are the best. If there isn't a warranty, the installer might not be using the best equipment.
Keep in mind good contractors set benchmarks. These are survey points established around the structure. The contractor should do this as part of the repair work or part of the Plan of Repair (if you hire a design professional they might set survey points). A benchmark is a mark or screw on the wall at various points of the house that are used to then take a survey level. Afterward, the contractor will shoot the points on both the exteriors and interiors. This is done so the amount the structure was lifted can be recorded in the installation logs.
Helical pile installation is an incredibly complex process. It is absolutely crucial that a foundation repair specialist is the only person doing this type of work. As a homeowner, it's your job to be educated, to consult a design engineer and to understand the correct installation process to ensure your helical pile foundation is installed correctly.

This is something I was wondering about.
I know that the generators of the cyclic groups $(\mathbb{Z}_n,+)$ are precisely those integers coprime to $n$, and there are $\phi(n)$ of them. Now the multiplicative group of a finite field $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is cyclic of order $p-1$, and thus isomorphic to $(\mathbb{Z}_{p-1},+)$.
Is there a similar condition about which elements are generators as in the additive case? Being coprime doesn't work, since $1$ is never a generator. What I usually do is find at least one generator of $\mathbb{Z}_p^\times$, and consider this the image of $1$ under some induced isomorphism from $(\mathbb{Z}_{p-1},+)\to(\mathbb{Z}_p^\times,\cdot)$, and then the images of generators in $(\mathbb{Z}_{p-1},+)$ are the generators in $(\mathbb{Z}_p^\times,\cdot)$.
Is there a more efficient method that doesn't require first finding a generator in $\mathbb{Z}_p^\times$?

Reconstruction Officially Ends in Sørvestland
After 7 years of reconstruction in Sørvestland,the Ministry of Infrastructure has officially ended reconstruction today.
After the Kazulian-Dankuk War Sørvestland was left in ruin from both sides usage of artillery and bombing campaigns and terrorists and rebels bombing Pro-Kazulian or Pro-Dankuk Regions of Sørvestland. One of the only places that was not damaged was Monyeol or as the Kauzlians called it New Skalm which was intended to be a Kazulian stronghold. However this plan fell apart as more and more Dankuk sympathizers began demanding Sørvestland be handed over to Dankuk. This same revolution and demands spread throughout the nation and eventually led to the handing over of Sørvestland. However before leaving they destroyed all buildings in every city except for Monyeol were they were kicked out before they could destroy any major buildings.
After the war ended basic necessities were completely gone in Sørvestland. Most major water sources were poisoned,most fertile lands were burned and destroyed and electric lines were cut. After the retreat of Kazulia most of Sørvestland survived off aid by the Dankuk goverment. After several months of scraping of funds major reconstruction began in Dankuk. Several teams of chemist cleaned the water sources of pollution. Electricians Reconstructed power lines back to Dankuk. However one thing that was unchangeable was the lack of food sources. However after 7 years the lands have regrown and now can support cattle again. With this change the Minsitry of Infrastructure officially ends the reconstruction of Sørvestland. All infrastructure has been rebuilt in Sørvestland and now finally Dankuk can return to normal.

How to measure specific types of fasteners:
Bolts and Screws:
For all bolts and screws except countersunk screws, the length is measured from under the head. For countersunk bolts and screws, the length is the overall length (OAL).
Durable and corrosion resistant grade 8 hex bolts and hex nuts are commonly used in marine, military, oil & gas, off-road vehicle and industrial applications.
They are made from alloy steel and heat treated to a high tensile strength of 150,000 psi minimum. Grade 8 fasteners are ideal for mechanical applications where high
stress and strong load bearing would be required. Grade 8 fasteners are usually Yellow Zinc Plated or Plain off the shelf, but can be coated with other coatings.
Diameters range from 1/4" to 1-1/2".
If you have questions about our grade 8 bolts, please contact [link to https://boltsplus.com/requestquote.aspx ) our team. We look forward to speaking with you!

As most of our thoughts are now turned towards this fall and the possibility of a larger than usual loss for the party in power -- the Democrats -- we should take a minute to look ahead to the presidential contest in 2012.
With unemployment likely over the 10% mark by election day this November and hot topics like the war in Afghanistan, the spiraling deficit and immigration to name a few, the Democrats will suffer larger than usual losses but they might not be as dire as analysts and pollsters are predicting. The House and Senate may stay in control of the Democrats because in the final analysis even in an anti-incumbent mood many voters revert back to casting their ballots for someone they know rather than taking a chance with a newcomer.
However, once the midterms are over and new faces emerge on the GOP side who will immediately be cast as potential presidential possibilities in 2012, one person seems to have taken the lead for that position as we head into the 2010 midterms. That person is the ever present former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin.
While many Democrats and pundits and others may laugh and scorn the former 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidates for her views and abruptly leaving her job as governor of Alaska and many of her other behaviors that seem to many as out of the mainstream, she actually seems to be doing quite well in positioning herself for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. She is very actively promoting, endorsing and giving money to candidates who look like likely winners this November. She is on FOX News as a commentator and the public knows her views and opinions on the key issues of the day.
She is certainly appealing to the Tea Party movement and the conservative part of the GOP who determines who will get the nomination as they are the activists who go out and vote in the
primaries and caucuses.
To someone not involved in politics looking at who commentators and pundits and analysts always bring into the 2012 presidential equation it is Sarah Palin. She is outdistancing her likely rivals by her ever present performance on and off the air and on her websites.
How much attention is the senator from South Dakota getting as he lets it be known he wants to run for the GOP presidential nomination? You mean you haven't yet heard of John Thune?
And Newt Gingrich is saying he will most likely run in 2012. He appears to be old news with some new ideas to be sure but he had his day as Speaker of the House and not sure he has mass appeal for the voters.
Mitt Romney should be leading the pack at the moment but aside from his book he is keeping a lower profile these days than Palin for sure.
Tim Pawlenty hopes to run for the nomination but he is unknown to most voters and not many Republicans are that enthusiastic. Haley Barbour is lively and colorful and would make a terrific
campaigner but I don't know if much of the country could handle his deep accent.
Bobby Jindal has enough problems in his state to keep him busy for awhile and Mike Huckabee seems to be known as a jovial and cheerful talk show host more than a serious presidential
candidate at the moment.
Mitch Daniels, Scott Brown, Bob McDonnell, Chris Christie, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum all have an appeal but certainly no national following like Palin has at this point in time.
The Republicans have a weak field at a time when the president's popularity for good reason continues to decline as he seems disconnected from the main events of the day.
With no one having a lot of time to get a national reputation Palin is actually leading the GOP field you might say by default. She is colorful, provocative, engaging and likes to stir things up.
She knows how to make news on a daily basis where the other potential candidates seem to be nowhere to be seen.
She may not be able sway Independents to her side in 2012 and she may turn out to be a marginal candidate who could not appeal to the general public voter in 2012 but at this point in 2010 one would have to christen her the favorite and the frontrunner to get the GOP presidential nomination.
In a so far weak Republican field of presidential possibilities she stands out as the top dog or top grizzly bear or whatever you want to call it but other serious GOP candidates better start taking her seriously and get in the game quickly before she has a lead that can't be beaten.
Palin is not a joke that some people like to make her out to be -- she is doing the right things and doing them well and staying in the spotlight.
Presidential possibilities in 2012 certainly look like Obama and Palin going against one another. Rather than smiling and jumping for joy the Obama team should take Palin seriously! She will be a tougher and more serious opponent than they think.

TestimonialsPeople we have helped
Thanks to Forms Plus and the FPD-1 double integrated label form, I am able to easily print off my order form, shipping label and return label in one go! This allows me to concentrate on my business knowing that my despatch procedure is taken care of and that customers can easily return their order to the correct business address.
Carole Allen – Carole Allen Jewellery
The forms has helped us in providing a professional despatch label for our business which hopefully sets us apart from the crowd.
Using an integrated label has sped up the despatch process by allowing us to just peel the label off onto the parcel which also reduces any errors in transposing addresses. Having our return address also on an integrated label has helped our customers with the return process.
Kate – Happy Little Soles
I cannot think of any improvements you could make in your service to us. Orders are taken, quoted and proofs sent very efficiently. All orders are processed quickly and emergency orders are very promptly dealt with – (many thanks for bailing me out at these times!)
Jill – Agricultural Machinery & Engineer Co.

When we wanted to change the way we printed our despatch notes, Forms Plus were so helpful with coming up with ideas that would suit our needs without breaking our budget. We had some tricky issues to get over but Forms Plus helped us through them. I am constantly being approached by other suppliers to see if we will use them but Forms Plus have worked with us in a way that makes us feel like partners and we wouldn't change that.
Cathy – Marketing & Fulfilment Company
We use Forms Plus for our boarding cards and I just can't fault the level of customer service and the quality of the cards. Great quality and great service makes our lives so much easier.

Willy – International Lingerie & Swimwear Retailer
I have said this to someone before, in all the years we have dealt with you and your company it has been a pleasure, your service has always been 100% and I can't say enough about the staff, they have always been so helpful, polite and go that extra mile to assist, no one seems to have an off day and if they do your customers would never know.
Sonia Farmer – Troy UK
Having only worked with Forms Plus since 2002 I can only write a short (ish) testimonial. Barely 13 years of exemplary customer service and exacting product delivery. A fantastic team of people providing a high quality product, to amazing time scales and at a very competitive price. It's always a pleasure doing business with you.
Alison Pagent – The Book People
I'm sure you have supplied our paperwork since we started in business back in 2000 and the service has been faultless in that time, nothing has ever been too much trouble and all your staff have always been extremely polite at the end of the phone. We obviously have had other suppliers offering slightly cheaper prices over the years but I'd like to think that my customers think like me that an excellent service with a competitive price is all you need from your suppliers to help you run your own business successfully and why change something that works so well? Well done!
Nigel Drew – Civil Solutions Ltd
I am just so impressed with your service and company. I spoke to a lady called Jade yesterday at about 2.30pm who was unbelievably helpful and helped me find the right labels for our job and kindly sent through samples that came through this morning!
We were contemplating using another label provider for our orders this year as we were advised we would have to use them for our Linnworks order management system however if these samples work I will ensure all order papers for all of the companies in our Group come from you only.
Anuj Ghaghada – Treat Gifts
I'm really impressed with the service I get from Forms Plus. Deliveries are made on time and are accurate and the thermal till rolls we order work really well through our printers. I know I can rely on Forms Plus to get our stock to us when we need it.

Getting the Most out of the least. I'm a hybrid strongman/Bodyweight guy/odd lifter with a flavor for unconventionality and an interest in getting strong. Welcome.
Sunday, March 18, 2012
The attitude is a WASTE!
In this subculture of huge personalities performing so regularly on the theater of excess, we get treated to some pretty outlandish behavior with alarming frequency. On any given blog entry, article, forum visit, and even a real life gym-training experience, we're bound to be treated to someone that thinks that their bad attitudes are somehow beneficial to the cause.
The most obvious, and the one that gets on everyone's nerves with predictable consistency, has got to be those arrogant poseurs. They're the one's who don't miss an opportunity to flash their perfect midsection to the camera after doing handstand push-ups, never let their chest hair grow any more than two days without shaving, and never forget to wipe their spray tan off of their fingernails. It's an overwhelming display of arrogance that can cover up any sort of decent information that such people might actually be able to lend.
Actually written as a parody of gym douchbag antics.
Along those lines of cocky displays of perceived awesomeness are those people who go out of their way to make sure you know how hardcore they really are (this was brilliantly written about here). It's slightly less annoying since there isn't so much pageantry and primping.Still, having the eyeballs treated these kinds of loud proclamations of being bad-ass or being within earshot of the paleo-addicts making an effort to talk loud enough to let everyone in the produce section know how paleo they really are wears thinner than most super models.
Meanwhile, the rest of the animals in zoo suffer from some sort of delusion that being the real deal in all things strength means that they have to be so off-the-chart rude that they make an undersexed rhino look genial. We all know that there's more black and white to this thing that we do than most people want to admit. Since when did that give the gym gorillas the cart blanche to be assholes? What does that end up helping?
Frankly, how much does all of this excessive attitude help? I always thought that most of what I'm complaining about here started out as one, minor tool that people did to motivate themselves. When I get look in a mirror, I want to like what I see. I throw up comic book pictures and listen to heavy metal music as a way to stimulate myself. It's all a shout out to me and not anyone else.
Here's a great saying that applies to all of this: greatness doesn't need to explain itself. We know powerful, motivated people when we see them. People who take the time to shout it out probably aren't either.
I just wanted to throw this out there before I close this rant down: How many women even think guy is good looking despite all of his flaunting? All the GTL and the only women he gets laid by are drunk when they're fucking him!
It's all just a waste of precious time and energy that would be far better spent with training.
2 comments:
I think it's better to focus on and give credit to all the people out there who work hard and don't need to run their mouths. When I look at someone like Ross Enamait I feel that good attitude is contagious... "The Situation" doesn't merit any thought or attention, unless for comedic value. Better to look up to good examples and strive than waste energy on fools.

good article I remember watching a tv show a while back that said something which resonates with this article.They were documenting a ageing martial arts master and he said the people who are the strongest don't outwardly show it

|One Little Word
Seems like I need to listen to these words more often. I get bogged down with all the things I want to do. Most of the time I need to just start. I find that I feel good when I do one thing towards what I want to achieve. It gets me one step closer to completing the task. While I would love to have big chunks of time to get things done it isn't my reality. So I do one thing.

Four years ago in Athens, Hungarian athletes garnered eight gold
medals, six silver and three bronze medals.
Hungarian elite sport has been on a downward course since the
1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. Since then, the number of Olympic
medals won by Hungarians has declined by 24 percent, he said.
Since the 2004 Athens Olympics, the number of registered
Hungarian athletes has declined by one third. To date, 142
Hungarians have qualified for the Beijing Olympics, and their number
will not exceed 170 in any case. In Athens, Hungary was represented
by more than 200 athletes.
Hungarians competing in Beijing are expected to collect 130
points, enabling Hungary to finish among the top 20 countries in the
unofficial Olympic points competition, he said.

9. Ostrich MP for Bournemouth on Marriage Equality by Stephen Glenn on Stephen's Liberal Journal.
"Stephen takes the gay, MP for Bournemouth West, Alderney and Branksome East to task for not even seeing and hearing the demands for marriage equality from his own party's LGBTory group." (Submitted by Stephen Glenn via LibDig.)
10. NHS Reform, the bill "no one voted for"? No, not really. on Mat Bowles' blog.
"Wouldn't it be nice if the opponents of measures would actually argue their case?"
11. A tax storm in a coffee cup by Stephen Williams MP.
"I will not be buying any lattes off Starbucks until they come clean about their tax avoidance activities," says Stephen.
12. Welcome changes at Party HQ by Andy Strange on Strange Thoughts.
Andy likes the staff restructure, but calls on party Leadership to provide clear messages and management.
And that's it for another week. Happy blogging 'n' reading 'n' nominating.
