Volkswagon Westfalia Vanagon Complete Interior
- Location: Oakland, California, United States
- Condition: Used
- Make: Volkswagen
- Model: Bus/Vanagon
- Type: Van Camper
- Trim: Westfalia
- Year: 1985
- Color: Brown
- Vehicle Title: Clear
1985 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Westfalia description
I have ALL the parts from a 1985 Vanagon Camper Van, every screw, nut, bolt...I can guaranty you will NEVER see an entire set-up like this again, you just won't.I got into a wreck with the vehicle and was going to be damned if the whole thing was going to get junked so I stripped it ALL...
make / manufacturer:Volkswagon
model name / number:Vanagon
size / dimensions:8'L x 5'W x 7'H
-all the windows (except for the windshield that was smashed in the accident),
-the Poptop itself, including the matching Front top piece, and all the trim parts (the canvas itself was useless so that got trashed)
-the whole back AC unit, it's cabinet, hoses the compressor and bracket
ALL of the cabinets for the full camper, the stove unit & original fridge, the side cabinet with the water tank, the closet unit, ALL of them
- The original Back Seat and storage cabinet, with the under-seat heater unit
- All the vinyl side trim pieces
- The bedding cushions
The lights the seatbelts, freakin EVERYTHING
All the screws and small parts are in individual plastic bags that are labeled as to what they are.
The Pics here are a SMALL smattering of what is part of this collection, I have a VERY COMPREHENSIVE photo list of what is included, message me and I can send you a link to it.It is, essentially, every last piece that one would need to rebuild / build a whole new VW camper van all tied up in one preI have it all stored in a 5' x 8' big steel forkable storage box (the poptop is strapped to the top) so it will be easy to load up unto a truck or flat bed, and yes there is a forklift onsite to do.I will be willing to knock off an additional $500 if you want to forgo the storage box as it would be a great fork-liftable tool-shed in my back yard. You would, obviously have to provide your own method of transport, and all the partswould have to be hand-loaded into a shipping container of some kind that you would provide.Even though it goes without saying, I am going to say it anyways, the buyer would be responsible for any shipping costs, but given it is already packaged for transport that would be fairly easy. You would simply need to contact a Freight Logistics Company, there are many so I would suggest calling around for quotes.Basically they will ask you for the dimensions and weight, both of which I can provide, you pay them, they show up and I will load it up on the truck, the driver will strap it down and deliver it to the location of your choice. Also, logistically you would need a forklift on your end to take it back off.Obviously these interior parts are 33 years old, and, believe it or not, (note the light sarcasm here) actually show their 33 years of light use, the light brown basket weave sticker-laminate is coming up on some of the cabinet corners, there are light scuffs here and there, basically you WILL need to do a little work to make it absolutely 'Mint'-ish again, but it is a COMPLETE set of pretty much everything needed for a given restoration project. Seriously, look at the pictures, what you see is what you get.If you have any model specific questions please feel free to plug the VIN of the donor van into the VinCheck website of your choice and it will spit back out any pertinent specs.Message me to discuss any particulars, PLEASE don't wast your time (or mine) messaging me to try and buy just this part or that part, I am only interested in selling the ENTIRE set-up.Thanks for looking, hope to hear from you soon.
KEYWORDS: Volkswagon, Vanagon, Westfalia Camper, Stove, Bed, Pop Top, Pop-Top

With numerous genre filmmakers being interviewed left and right at Comic Con this past weekend, it's no surprise that talk of potential sequels came up. Lets break it down by key titles:
Hellboy 3
Guillermo del Toro tells EW that "I can say publicly that now we are together in trying [to do Hellboy 3]… we're going to make an effort to do it. I hope it happens."
Star Ron Perlman added "The [first] two movies were really set up to have this unbelievable resolve. Everything that was done in both movies was leading up to this destiny, written in stone, of what Hellboy has been summoned to Earth to do. To not do it, particularly in light of the scope that Guillermo is thinking of for the resolve, would be in my mind a little bit of a shame."
Ted 2
With the recent comedy scoring good reviews and stellar box-office, it's no surprise that "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane tells Deadline that "I'd be open to making Ted 2."
The film would likely have much more of a chance going forward than "The Flintstones" reboot, MacFarlane saying that project has "been put on the backburner, so we don't know when it is going to happened. There's no exact schedule."
The Avengers 2
Popping up at the "Firefly" reunion panel, Joss Whedon was asked whether he'd be returning to helm the next chapter of Marvel's "The Avengers". He says: "I have not come to a decision on directing 'Avengers 2' yet. I am having too much fun with this now."
District 9 2
Out promoting "Elysium", Neil Blomkamp was asked about re-teaming with Peter Jackson on a follow-up to the film that put Blomkamp on the map – the acclaimed "District 9". He says "The obvious place to work with him [Jackson] again is on 'District 10,' or 'District 8,' whatever you wanna call it, however, I'm not sure I'm making that film. It would be cool, but these films take two or three years to make, and the investments are so extreme, you can't accurately predict where you'll be a few years from now, I believe. If you're not creatively invested in it, you're making a mistake, and that creative investment happens day to day. So I don't know when that feeling for a 'District Whatever' film happens."

New book on Fr McDyer launched
Liam McGinley's new book 'The Quotations, Sayings and Words of Wisdom of Fr James McDyer' was launched at the Folk Village in Glencolmcille last Sunday afternoon.
Fr Eddie Gallager introduced the book and talked about his own memories and time spent with Fr McDyer. He spoke about Fr McDyer's achievements in Glencolmcille. He also recalled that Fr McDyer got an honours degree in English from Maynooth and said it was fitting that this fine book of his most memorable sayings was now in print to preserve them for posterity.
When Fr McDyer came to Glen in 1951, he found the economy depressed but, also to some extent, the people were depressed as well. He set about creating the conditions that would change the situation and substitute a sense of optimism for that of depression.
His main accomplishments were to promote self-help and instill a strong sense of mutual help in the community by helping to set up small industries and obtaining better infrastructure for the area.
His many talents enabled him to be to be a great community leader and Fr Eddie said that he wished he himself had some of Fr McDyer's talent.
One has to remember that at that time great emphasis was put on the authority of the church and Fr Mc Dyer probably made a number of older priests uncomfortable by his drive and vision to improve the financial welfare of his parishioners.
This was mainly done to try and put a stop to the draining effects of emigration but it also meant that he was in danger of running foul to the limitations placed by authority. Fr McDyer hated red tape and if you had a good business idea, it was no good waiting around, it had to be acted upon immediatly or the idea would go cold.
Liam McGinley spoke about how brilliant Fr McDyer was in his use of language and why he decided to put the collection together. He hopes that it will be an inspiration to many people. Fr McDyer believed that no matter how big the obstacles confronting people, they could be overcome by cleverness, co-operation and hard work. That was the main McDyer philosophy.
Like he said, 'help yourself' has to be replaced by self help and solutions found for the community as a whole, otherwise decline will continue.
People need inspiration nowadays and the words of Fr James McDyer are more relevant today than they ever were as people struggle for answers.
Liam hopes that everyone will enjoy the book and buy it for its positive and uplifting messages.
Margaret Cunningham, the Folk Village manager thanked Liam McGinley, Fr Eddie Gallagher and everyone for attending. She said that, on many occassions, tourists had requested such a book as they had seen some of the quotations printed on the walls but until now none was available and she was delighted to have the book for sale in the Museum shop.
The book is also available in Donegal Town and other local book shops.

Good Resume Tips Company Director Level CV Example UK
We aim to give useful advice for writing company director resumes, so we have included a narrative (overview) concerning a few of the most common director CV examples. It takes time, planning, a few ideas and looking at good examples for writing a company director CV, especially as director resumes have different requirements depending on the functional area of businesses. There are key elements to consider when writing resumes for functional directors, so we aim to profile some differences and characteristics according to core director roles. We outline some key characteristics for the following examples below.
Company Director CV Examples (by Functional Area)
- Ideas for writing an IT Director CV
- Human resources director resumes
- Help with an Operations Director CV
- Profiling a Commercial Director CV
IT CV for Director Position (IT Director Resume)
For IT Directors, there is a need to convey a certain amount of industry, technology and technical expertise to balance out functional responsibilities of team leadership, key projects and capability development. There needs to be strong awareness of changing needs, future requirements and technology innovations to deliver optimal solutions, operational excellence, IT best practice, quality assurance and governance.
There is a trend for outsourcing solutions, plus adopting latest technologies (Cloud platforms; ERP systems; ecommerce; enterprise systems), creating strategic partnerships, building key supplier relationships and continuous improvement to streamline / automate processes. Having an understanding of core methodologies and possessing accreditation in project management, business requirements analysis, software development / testing lifecycles, Six Sigma, Lean IT, RAID, ITIL and PRINCE 2 also adds value. Moreover, there may be specialist industry knowledge and specific expertise required for different sectors such as banking that inherently require a greater degree of technology use and IT governance. Business continuity, risk management and disaster recovery are also key aspects to get across in an IT director CV. Also, find latest UK IT Director jobs and check out job requirements from the Daily Telegraph Jobs Section.
Human Resources Director CVs
Human resources director resumes are expected to include certain elements, especially as HR directors oversee 'human capital' aspects within organisations that underpin all functional areas. This is often reinforced by strong continued professional development (i.e. CIPD accreditation) and skills courses alongside team leadership, directing HR operations and working across entire businesses or operating companies. There is a requirement to keep up-to-date on latest trends, regulations and best practice models to deliver a high performing HR service to business partners and executives. See our human resources director resume examples for further ideas on what to include.
Director of Business Operations Resume (Operations Director CV)
The operations director covers all operational aspects of a business including manufacturing plants, production facilities, logistics, supply chain, warehousing and distribution. There are often added responsibilities for supplier sourcing, procurement and developing supplier partnerships, though the exact remit of the role will vary according to the industry sector (i.e. service or manufacturing base).
The operations director will oversee strategy and seek to integrate each operational element into a seamless function and coordinate activities over a wide geographical area in a global operating environment. Focus is on continuous improvement, change management and process optimisation to increase productivity, cost efficiencies, operational excellence and greater coordination between functions. There is also a strong emphasis on forward planning, performance, operational risk, cost controls, forecasting, analysis, budgets, capability development, key skills and team leadership.
Commercial Director Resumes
Commercial directors are expected to coordinate sales, business development and marketing activities to take advantage of potential opportunities, win new business (sales pipeline) and drive profitable growth. There is a strong customer focus to develop viable propositions, build worthwhile client relationships, launch new products and / or enter new markets.
Commercial directors CVs must convey assured decision-making in complex environments and an understanding of key market drivers (and risk factors) to give both strategic and tactical responses (i.e. pricing decisions) with constantly changing market conditions. There is also a focus on product development, lead generation (capture plans), creating strategic partnerships with customers (i.e. top 20 accounts) and external growth through mergers and acquisitions. Again, there is a strong element of team leadership, performance management (target setting) and strengthening capabilities to improve skills base (talent), technical sales bids, sales force accountability (controls) and accurate KPI reporting / forecasting to help optimise commercial functions over time.
Company Director Resumes
Other company director resumes reflect functional areas of the business, most notably for finance strategy and project directors. We could also split out the commercial, sales, marketing and business development director roles as these have distinct areas of responsibility and accountability. Further help writing a finance director CV and writing a business development director CV example can be found by clicking the links for a more detailed breakdown of what to include.
Company Director Resumes (Examples): Conclusion
Company director resumes must be tailored to specific characteristics and requirements of each functional area. Common themes like strategic planning, key projects, problem-solving, team leadership, capability development, budget setting and performance are present across each business function but there are many differences, so it is always best to identify main elements for each role and carefully target CVs accordingly. Targeted approaches for company director resumes yield best results!

State of Kentucky, County of Lee

Then we went back to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where I was discharged on the 17th day of November, 1864.
We went by train to Louisville where we were paid off. We came on to Lexington by rail, there we hired what was then known as hacks and came on to Irvine. I walked to my mother's home right where Grant Newman now lives at Yellow Rock, then in Owsley County. I have never lived further than 15 miles from the place where I was born, on Buck Creek on what is now the farm of Jonah Estes in Estill County. I have moved more than forty times since I was married, having resided here in Heidelberg, Kentucky, where I now own my own home by deed from Arch Cornett and wife dated August 4, 1923, and of record in the office of the Lee County Clerk in Deed Book No. 43, by the then clerk of said court, S.M. Estes.
The affiant further states that his father's name was Charlie Estes, that the name of his grandfather was Basil Estes, who came to Estill County from North Carolina, that his mother's name was Sarah Hatton, that his Grandmother was 'Clem'.
I had four brothers, Fielden Estes, Basil Estes, Hiram Estes and Charlie Estes. Had three sisters who lived to be grown and married. Polly Estes who married Levi Winkle, Deby Estes married Laurence Ward, Polly Estes married Jess Pittman all of whom raised their families in Kentucky excepting brother Basil who was married four times and the last time I heard of him he was Living in Granger County, Tennessee, where he died.
The affiant further states that he was never indicted for any crime or misdemeanor or ever cited to appear in any court or involved in any civil case excepting the United States Pension bureau.
Affiant further states that he never challenged any man to a duel with deadly weapons, but that he was challenged to fight a fist fight by on whose name was Joe Crawford. Affiant states that he won the fight and Crawford died his friend.

Signed Asberry Estes

Santorini Greek Kitchen News
Indy Star Bids Fond Farewell to Santorini Greek Kitchen
In an article titled, "Fountain Square's Santorini Greek Kitchen is closing," the Indianapolis Star bids a fond farewell to the popular restaurant which will live on as Santorini Greek Kitchen Catering by Chef Taki Sawi. "As long as there's a breath in his body, his food will be available," said Jeanette Sawi, Taki's wife and co-owner of the restaurant. The catering company will be located at the couple's Biltwell Event Center.
Santorini Greek Kitchen Closing - Moving to Catering
We would love to continue forever.
We would love to have the energy we had in our 30s. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we are choosing to close Santorini Greek Kitchen on March 31, 2018. We want to end the way we started, with good intentions and high quality. It is truly difficult for us to foresee a future without Santorini Greek kitchen in our lives. However, due to health changes, we must. As some of you are very aware, in October, we attempted to make some changes. We soon came to the conclusion, we were wrong. We came back home to the restaurant. We were happy to do that.
Read more: Santorini Greek Kitchen Closing - Moving to Catering
Jeanette and Taki are Back!
We are back and making your favorite foods and holiday memories!

Posted by Landscaping Ideas on 03rd February 2012
A garden utility cart is a great way to keep all of your gardening tools organized and easy to access. Garden utility carts come in many sizes. You can choose one to fit your individual gardening needs. Choose one that is easy to maneuver and allows you to organize your gardening tools the way you want them.
A very popular type of garden utility cart looks like a wagon. It comes with a very sturdy handle and four powerful wheels to allow the cart to be pulled across all terrains with ease. Most models come with an extra shelf on the bottom to haul fertilizer or other large items. This type of garden utility cart doesn't have any organizational shelving or compartments. However, you can purchase a gardening tool caddy that fits neatly into it.
Other models of garden utility carts resemble an upright shopping cart, similar to what maids use in smaller hotels for their cleaning supplies. This model has two large wheels and a small handle. To move the cart easily, tilt it back towards you. There are slats in the top where you can place gardening tools. They are designed to keep your tools in place. However, this set up could hinder your vision around the garden utility cart if you have tall gardening tools including racks and hoes in it. The rest of the cart is a deep wire basket to place your other items in. While this type of garden utility cart holds a great deal of supplies, it does not have the best set up when it comes to getting to your supplies quickly and easily.
The garden dolly cart is a great tool for carrying large items to and from your garden. It can be used as a standard dolly or converted into a wheelbarrow. This tool is great for getting large bags of fertilizer to your garden, transporting plants, and moving soil.
The best type of garden utility cart to consider if you do a lot of gardening is a convertible cart. These easily change from one design to another. It can be used as a standard flat cart with two very large wheels similar to those found on the back of a wheelchair. The wide handle makes it very easy to maneuver. The handle flips upright for a garden tool cart that is tall and deep. You can also convert it into a wheelbarrow type of cart. This is a very versatile item to meet all of your gardening needs.
Using a garden utility cart can make organizing and getting to your gardening tools easy, giving you more time to focus on the actual gardening than hunting down your equipment. There are many types available, so you should be able to find one that suits your individual needs. They can be a great tool for getting heavier items such as fertilizer to your garden area. Make sure you wheel the utility cart around the store prior to purchasing as you want to see how well it steers and turns. Garden utility carts can be found at most stores that carry garden tools as well as many home improvement stores.

fiesta diy: tiny crepe paper lantern garland
Oy! Well, this was supposed to be up before Cinco de Mayo but since it is still the month of May I won't beat myself up too much. Here is another fun garland project you can make in a jiffy, and even your kiddos can whip up a few.
crepe paper papel picados but instead of using large sheets of paper, use smaller, narrower sheets. I did not manage any progress pics but you can fold a sheet of plain white paper into fourths from top to bottom, cut strips out then layer your scalloped streamers on top. Once dry, cut each strip into thirds and roll those into tubes, sealing with dab of glue. Use a needle and thread to string up and enjoy!

I Told You Everything I Know…
…And you still don't know nuthin'! My mother regularly told me this growing up (actually she still reminds me often). In short, she would give me the benefit of her wisdom and too often, I would not accept it. With many more years and arguably more maturity, I realize my reluctance to accept wisdom from parents or any authority figure is a broad and timeless problem. Regardless of education and professional accolades, many critical lessons require experience! While experience happens in multiple ways, learning from it features a three step process.
Step 1
Regardless of age, initial experiences are absorbed in a child-like fashion. For children, curiosity dominates the learning process. Kids want to touch, taste, see everything. So much stimuli, so little time! Unfortunately, mastery of new knowledge demands work and repetition. When attention spans wane, or the learning curve becomes too steep, other interests and curiosities take over. Sometimes an authority figure intercedes and removes the burden of mastery. But, that is not learning; that's mommy doing your homework. The child has in fact avoided the pain of learning. Until the learner accepts the pain and discipline of mastering, they basically "still don't know nuthin'"!
Step 2
The next step involves accepting the initial challenge to endure some discomfort while acquiring new skills and knowledge. Resembling adolescence, or young adulthood, the learner acquires enough knowledge to discern between high and low accomplishment. However, knowing the difference between good and better, does not mean that they know the difference between better and best. At this point, the learner is blind to the truth that "if you are the smartest person in the room, then you need another room." Instead, the learner's perceived superiority leads them to challenge authority figures and proclaim dominance. Unfortunately, this approach comes without wisdom. Basically, wisdom only comes from experience. To get through this level of learning, judgment must match intelligence. The alternative is infantile displays of knowledge, and oblivion to the consequences.
Step 3
After acquiring curiosity, knowledge, and judgment, then learners should be prepared to display their experience. Although the logic is sound, the premise is flawed. Experience is the culmination of learning skills and exercising judgment, but it is not static. Experience is always evolving, stretching. Too many learners underestimate the size of the body of knowledge and experiences. The more you know, the greater the body of knowledge that remains unknown. The more answers you acquire, the more questions that surface. So, mama saying "you don't know nuthin'" is a slight misnomer. More accurately she should say, "you still have a lot to know, and I still have not told you everything that I know." Essentially, lifelong learning means asking better questions from the perspective of curiosity, knowledge and experience. Experience merely helps us understand how much more we still need to understand.
"I told you everything I know, and you still don't know nuthin'!" The English is imperfect, but the wisdom is flawless. Educators and administrators often aspire for students to pursue lifelong learning. It is easy to offer, but hard to enforce. Wisdom is acquired, it is not learned. It is experienced, not regurgitated. The beauty and pain of experience is that each answer yields additional questions. The deeper you submerge in the ocean of wisdom, the deeper you realize that the ocean truly is. Eventually judgment provides the only possibility of resolution. Experience life. It's the only chance of knowing anything.

Dog Health Distemper
"Dog health distemper virus requires immediate treatment by a veterinarian. While there are no prescription drugs to help distemper, homeopathic approaches might be effective anti-biotics can help with any secondary bacterial infections."
Dog Health Distemper (also called Canine Distemper) is a virus that is spread through the air as well as by bodily fluids such as nasal discharge and urine. It is very contagious. Your dog should be vaccinated when a puppy since it is the only known preventative. This usually occurs after 4 months since there is a risk the vaccine will not take hold when younger due to antibodies in your puppy that remain from the mother.
Studies show that three weeks after infection dogs either recover or sadly pass away. Distemper dog has a 50% mortality rate.
Symptoms for Canine Distemper
Symptoms for Canine Distemper affects all major systems of the body, including the respiratory, digestive, and central nervous systems. Your dog can show severe symptoms to no symptoms at all.
During the first 3 - 6 days after infection probably will show no symptoms. Immediately after you could see discharge from the knows and eyes, depression and anorexia. Gastrointestinal and/or respiratory signs may follow with some type of bacterial infection.
Other symptoms for canine distemper can include seizures, involuntary movement of the arms or legs, depression, paralysis and muscle tremors. Problems with the eyes and retina are not unusual.
Dog Health Distemper Diagnosis
It can be difficult to diagnose distemper. There are a number of blood tests that can help diagnose the disease, but they are not always accurate. For instance, a very low white blood cell count can suggest a diagnosis of distemper but can indicate other illnesses as well. Vets will also look for special antibodies that may have been produced to fight distemper. If a dog has been vaccinated in the past, however, these antibodies will often be present, regardless of whether or not the dog actually has distemper. There are other blood tests that actually look for the virus itself, but these often give false negatives as the virus "hides" within the cells and does not show up in the blood.
Another test for distemper is a cerebral spinal fluid test. This tests the fluid from around the brain and the spinal cord. It is usually more accurate than blood tests, but is more expensive and can be dangerous.
If none of the tests are positive for distemper but your dog still has all the symptoms, your vet may still make a diagnosis of distemper based on the symptoms, if other illnesses are ruled out.
Dog Health Distemper Treatment
If your dog gets distemper, he will be given supportive therapy, meaning that he will be treated for the symptoms of the condition. Your vet will treat him with antibiotics for any secondary bacterial infections such as pneumonia. He will be given IV fluids for dehydration. He will be given anti-convulsive medication if he has seizures.
There is no cure for distemper, however, many homeopathic veterinarians (those that believe in herbal or natural remedies) believe that there is considerable evidence that homeopathic approaches can either prevent distemper or can be used in treatment. A good commercial source for information on herbal "nosodes" and supporting research is Vi-pro Plus.

That is the question. Should I frog it or should I finish it?
Before I go any further, are you familiar with the term frog? Not the noun. The verb. To frog. It is when you rip out your knitted or crocheted work. Rip it. Sounds kind of like ribbit. Get it? Rip it. Rip it. Ribbit. Ribbit. A little fibery humor for ya. Right, where were we?
I have many, many projects that are partially done. Or almost done. Or just barely started. You get the idea. Anyhow, they are called WIPs. Works In Progress. In 2009 I made an effort to get some of them off my needles and hooks. I finished up quite a few. But I rung in the new year of 2010 with, oh I don't know, maybe 15 WIPs continuing to languish. I don't make resolutions, but I do make goals. So for 2010 my aim is to either frog or finish those long standing WIPs.
Around the same time I was resolving aiming to decrease my WIPs, I was reading the Ravelry boards for the podcast Stash & Burn. I ran across this thread (Rav link here) which talks about the exact same concept. Several people, myself included, have listed all of their WIPs and are checking them off as they finish them or frog them. Since I wasn't the only one thinking about all of my WIPs and my desire to whittle them down, maybe this is a Fiber Arts phenomena? Just like people like to acquire stash, maybe we have a habit of acquiring WIPs too.
So this leads to me to my next question . . . Why do I leave so many of my projects mid-way on the needles or hooks? Sometimes it is because I get a bad case of startitis and I just cast on a million things and don't go back to finish what I was already working on. Sometimes I realize that the yarn isn't working for the pattern, but I just hate to admit it and rip out what I have already done. A lot of the time I get to a point in the project that I don't necessarily like and I put it down to pick up something I enjoy.
How about you? Do you have this long standing WIPs problem? Or are you a focused, determined, and driven Fiber Artist? Care to join me on the challenge of Frog or Finish?
Here's where I am at so far . . .
Photos are my own.

As a rule, South Carolina's "Consent Agreements" are lacking in adequate detail for a consumer to really figure out what happened. Why is this a problem?
This is a problem because, as a consumer, it is vitally important for us to know what the veterinarian did, so that we can evaluate and assess his or her behavior. This kind of information is critical for making informed choices about veterinary care.
So, it is a good thing that recently, the South Carolina Vet Board began making the "Formal Complaints" available on its website. The Formal Complaint is the document filed by the Veterinary Board charging the vet with violations, and it typically includes more detail than the final "Consent Agreement."
Nonetheless, the IMPACT on the patient of the vet's behavior is often omitted from both documents. Perhaps this is because vet boards do not want to state that the vets behavior actually caused the death or injury of the animal. And maybe they don't want to say so because they can't be sure that's true. On the other hand, maybe they don't want to say so because it would indicate to the consumer exactly how dangerous this vet may be. Goodness knows, we wouldn't want to give the consumer information that would steer him away from a vet, would we? Even if that vet had behaved dangerously. Oh, but there is that little problem of the mission statement . . .
Both the Consent Agreement and the Formal Complaint filed by the Board in the case of Frank Hooper and his treatment of Patch Parker are lacking one important fact, and leave the reader asking: "WHAT HAPPENED TO 'PATCH'?"
Well, I think we can make an educated guess. Here are the facts that we do know . . .
In the Formal Complaint, the Veterinary Board asserted that in January 2007 " . . . an American Pit Bull named 'Patch' was presented to Guingnard Veterinary Clinic incident to a severe limp. Patch could not place weight o his front right legl. Patch was examined by another veterinarian. The owner reports that the other veterinarian opined that the leg was fractured and required surgery. The owner provided consent to repair the fracture."
Two days later, vet Frank Hooper operated on Patch. The Board says that Hooper's "records do not document the completion of a physical examination of Patch before commencing surgery. [Hooper] did not notify Patch's owner that Patch's surgery would be more extensive than originally assumed by the other veterinarian."
[OK, what's that supposed to mean? Please tell me -- if you DO NOT conduct a physical exam of a patient prior to cutting into him, how the heck do you know you need to, uh, expand the surgery and make it more extensive?]
Hooper, the document says, did not contact the owners before surgery.
Then, the document says, "The surgical procedure was extended due to the unavailability of certain equipment, a personnel shortage, and the complexity of the procedure."
[Um, what? Did he not CHECK to make sure he had all the needed equipment and staff before starting????? So, basically, this dog was under anesthesia longer . . . ?????
Hooper, it says, ". . . interrupted the surgical process while the animal remained under anesthesia. [Hooper] permitted his technician to depart from the area without ensuring that someone monitored the animal. [Hooper] failed to ensure that the oxygen supplies for Patch's surgery were adequate and to ensure the availability of equipment that was necessary for Patch's surgery."
"A review of [Hooper's] records relating to this mattre reveal that a physical examination was not conducted prior to the procedure. [Hooper] failed to rcord the route of administation of Telazol, a controlled substance. [Hooper] did not record the dose and administration of Atropine."
The document goes on to cite the violations the Board charged Hooper with, which include failure to "provide or maintain proper facilities, engag[ing] in unprofessional or unethical conduct, and engag[ing] in incompetent or negligent conduct" as well as failure to provide proper supervision of the technician and failure to keep proper records for Patch's treatment and drug administration.
What the document does NOT say is what happened to Patch.
What do you think?
Is it your guess -- as it is mine -- that the dog probably DIED? After all, we have:
- Failure to examine the dog prior to surgery
- Expanding the surgery to make it more "extensive" without ever having examined the dog
- Prolonged surgery in which the patient was apparently left under anesthesia while people left the area
- Reference to inadequate oxygen supplies and inadequate equipment, as well as failure to record how much anesthetic drugs they gave Patch and how they were administered
Do you think -- without saying what happened to Patch -- consumer's will realize that this kind of behavior COULD LEAD to the death of a patient, whether or not it did?

You are not wrong if you have mammoth expectations from the music of "Matru ki bijlee ka mandola", primarily because of two names – Gulzar and Vishal Bhardwaj; or more importantly these two coming together. They literally create magic on screen – no exaggeration. With a rural backdrop for this dark comedy, let us see what the duo has in store for us.
"MATRU KI BIJLEE KA MANDOLA" – the title song is just perfect. The song which had already got me hooked with its appearance in the trailer will make you dance – guaranteed. With addictive beats and an even more addictive tune and loop, Sukhwinder Singh is just the apt choice for this song. Though the song has a heavy VB hangover, you still cant help but dance to this lovely number.
"OYE BOY CHARLIE" has trademark Gulzar lyrics where we hear "Timbuctoo", "Vitamin ki goli" – something only Gulzar can use and get away. While Shankar mahadevan sings in a totally new manner, Mohit chauhan too gets something different from the usual romantic songs he sings normally. But the star of the song is Rekha Bhardwaj who makes the song a total audio delight. Hence we are treated to another foot tapping catchy song.
"KHAMAKHA" begins with a lovely chorus (Which country I am not sure) before the heavenly voice of Vishal saab takes over. And well, this is vintage VB stuff. There is something in this tune, something which reminded me of his earlier works (Maachis, Hut tu tu.) – Maybe that melody or the simplicity of the tune. It took me two three hearings to finally get goosebumps. Vishal's voice is super soothing and he is absolutely flawless. What I particularly loved was the shift towards the end of the song – when the song actually changes genres and Prem Dehati sings few lines on Haryana – lovely and beautifully done. I could also hear Clinton Cerejo somewhere in the background. Am I right?
"LOOTNEWALE" starts off as a rebellious song and it turns out to be just that. A song which has a not-so-awesome tune, it is the lyrics and the vocals which make it an overall very good song. both Sukhwinder Singh and Master Saleem are superb. The way they pronounce the word "Lootnewale" is in sync with the movie's Haryanvi backdrop. This is one song which will appeal more on screen.
The song has a reprise version where only Sukhwinder singh does the singing. I have a feeling that many will love this version more than the original. For me, both are equally good.
We have four short tracks lined up next.
"SHARA-RARA-RA" is a short folk track sung by Prem Dehati. I'm not sure whether it is actually a folk or has been composed by VB. It sounds like an old folk song to me. In a way this song reminded me of the soundtrack of Gangs of Wasseypur – the rural folksy tune, the arrangements and the choice of singer. With a duration of one and a half minutes, it is catchy and enjoyable. Again it will be more of a visual song than a lone audio one.
"CHAAR DIN KI" begins with Pankaj kapur's voice and we instantly smile. Soon he is joined by Imran Khan (Who tries to make his voice as masculine and raspy as Pankaj Kapur and sounds good too.) Both of them have a ball – literally. As for the lyrics, I'm sorry. It would be improper to even comment on them. Just listen to them and marvel at the sheer creative genius of Gulzar saab. The tune again seems a "heard before" one.
In short this is one more thoroughly enjoyable track which will definitely have an equally interesting video.
"CHOR POLICE" is more of a short dialogue / satire on the present day cenario in our country. Pankaj kapur again sings / narrates this one. Once again it remains to be seen how this is utilized in the movie.
"NOMVULLA" is an engaging track sung by the African Umoja. Just hear it and enjoy it. That's all you can do. All I can say is that inspite of alien lyrics, it still manages to hold your attention. Smart thing to keep the song short.
If Vishal Bhardwaj delivered his JACK (Title song), KING (Oye boy charlie) and ACE (Khamakha) in the first three songs of the album, he keeps his trump card – his QUEEN for the best.
BADAL UTHIYA is one of Rekha Bhardwaj's finest songs ever. The tune which is a traditional haryanvi one gets a lounge-ish makeover and Rekha delivers it with utmost perfection and flawlessness. Her vocals in this song reminded me pretty much of "Badi dheere jali" (Ishqiya). She is in one word – awesome. I only wish the song would have been a little longer.
The song has one more version by Prem Dehati who sings it in his own style and the result is quite good, though not as good as Rekha ji's version. (Obviously!)
OVERALL – as I finish listening to the album a third time, I can only say that Vishal Bhardwaj does it again… well almost. Yes, you do get that feeling that somewhere the album is lacking something. But ten, it is too early, because MATRU is an album where majority of the songs rely on their picturization. And it is very much possible that the videos would make a big difference in forming an opinion about few songs.
For me, I got what I expected. Because I've learnt one thing from Vishal Bhardwaj – he is totally a master in surprising us. He'll produce some of the finest gems when we are least expecting them. Only he can include an African folk song in a hindi movie.
As for gulzar saab's lyrics, I have no words. The man continues to show us why he's the best.
Also, where's that "Kharratein" portion which appears in the beginning of the video of "Oye boy charlie"?
AND… Now I suddenly realize what is amiss – SURESH WADKAR. You were needed to complete this album.

When I first considered
Six weeks before the election, the picture is much clearer. While Obama's postconvention bounce gave him a lead of four to five points over
Using my FiveThirtyEight model, I've determined — through about 25,000 simulations that I run each day — which states could put either candidate over the top. Crucially, the model takes into account not only how states poll relative to national trends but also to one another. Demographically similar states can rise and fall together. If Romney makes gains in
Perhaps more important, the program evaluates the order in which the states might line up. Obama could win
Which states, then, are the most strategically important? The answer exists along a spectrum rather than in absolutes. Ten states could play an important role in the electoral calculus. I have listed them below, in four groups, along with the chance that each state will be the one that determines the next president.Continue reading the main story
The Big Two: Ohio (32 percent chance of determining the Electoral College winner) and Florida (20 percent).
This year, Obama's polling has been stronger than many observers (myself included) expected in each state, both of which typically lean slightly Republican. In Ohio, which Obama won by 5 points in 2008, the president has held the lead in 16 polls conducted since June (Romney led in only 4). In Florida, which Obama won by 3 points in the last election, the numbers have been more even but still slightly favor the president (14 leads for Obama, 9 for Romney).
The reasons behind Obama's strong polling performance differ in each state. The auto industry's recovery has helped drop Ohio's unemployment rate from 8.6 percent when he took office to 7.2 percent now, making it one state where voters really are better off than they were four years ago. While studies show that national economic conditions figure more heavily into voters' decisions, a state's economic climate can matter in cases like this.
Florida's economic recovery has not been as robust, but Obama may be buoyed by long-term demographic factors there. Florida has one of the nation's largest Hispanic populations, a bloc that in most states swings Democratic. The
The New Breed: Virginia (9 percent),
In these states, which Obama carried in 2008 but Kerry and Gore lost, swift demographic changes have become manifest. Obama won Nevada — which now resembles a West Coast state to some degree — by an unexpectedly large margin, 12 percentage points, in 2008. And despite a wretched economy there, he has led in every state poll conducted this year.
The polling has been more inconsistent in Colorado and Virginia. If demographic changes favor the president in Colorado, the state's anti-incumbent spirit — it voted for
Virginia's economy is pretty good, but the state has also been a
Primary Purple:
The voters in Iowa and New Hampshire are almost entirely white and mostly rural — factors that ordinarily favor Republicans. But they are also highly educated, which gives Democrats a chance. Though they don't pack a lot of electoral muscle (Iowa holds just six electoral votes and New Hampshire just four), it's worth remembering that if
Obama's polling has been fairly robust in New Hampshire, a state in which Romney may have hurt himself by disavowing the moderate positions that he took as governor of
The Blue Wall: Wisconsin (9 percent),
Judging by where the campaigns are allocating their money and time, both are concentrating on slightly Republican-leaning states (Florida) or true bellwethers (Iowa). It's clear that Romney is playing defense while Obama is on offense — a notion reinforced by the fact that Romney and company have taken an on-again, off-again approach toward slightly Democratic-leaning states like Pennsylvania and Michigan.
In Michigan, Romney's opposition to the auto bailout may be too much of an albatross. In Pennsylvania, though, the issue may be that while the polls are close, they are also hard to move; each party has its respective constituencies, and there may be few true undecided voters left. Obama's lead in Pennsylvania has often been narrow, but he has nevertheless led by some margin in the state's last 22 polls.
My calculations suggest that, despite Romney's deficit, the upside of his winning Pennsylvania is so great that he might want to take a chance. It's Obama's closest equivalent to a must-win state, and the combination of losing Pennsylvania and Ohio would essentially ensure his defeat. Unfortunately for Romney, it may be too late to adopt that strategy, as Obama has come close to clinching a majority of the state's electorate in recent surveys.
Wisconsin, however, is the state that Romney must contest. The initial excitement over the Republican victory in the gubernatorial recall election seemed, in the view of the polls, unfounded. (The same polls that indicated support for
If you don't follow the polls every day, just follow the money. For example, as of Sept. 6, according to National Journal, the campaigns and outside groups spent a combined $330 million on advertising in states carried by George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. In states that were carried by Democrats in those elections, like Michigan, they've spent one-tenth as much. This implies that Obama will get a better result than his party did in those years. On the other hand, the lack of appreciable expenditures in
The most plausible range of outcomes runs from Obama losing the election by about two percentage points, slightly better than

The crowd at Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis on Saturday afternoon waited anxiously for its favorite pop sensation to take the stage.
Teen heartthrob Aaron Carter burst into the room clad in baggy white sweatpants and a muscle tee, flaunting his toned biceps, proving that he hasn't lost his physical appeal since his glory days.
Backed by his two skilled hip hop dancers, the second the singer opened his mouth for the first song, "Another Earthquake," it became very clear to the crowd that everyone was in for something unexpected. Carter's sharp dance moves certainly haven't faded, and his crowd-pleasing audience interactions immediately made all the girls go wild.
After death-dropping to the floor at the close of the first number, Carter and his dancers disappeared for a moment, only to race back onto the stage carrying giant American flags.
A lesser-known jam, "America A O," was up next, and if anyone didn't know the catchy tune at the beginning, by the end they were singing along with pride. Carter and his dancers proudly (and patriotically) waved their flags while encouraging the crowd to "bang your heads to this" because "no matter what they say, [we'll] be livin' here anyway, [we're] lovin' you America." Ayo!
Carter progressed through a number of lesser-known songs, and made time for an outfit change to a laid-back all-white ensemble.
He debuted a new song, "City Lights," which seemed to please the crowd, though it was softer than his usual upbeat pop sound.
As it became time to slow down for a ballad, Carter's dancers selected two girls to come on stage to be serenaded. The two lucky ladies — the envy of every girl in the room — sat on stools in the center of the stage and couldn't contain their smiles as Carter circled around them singing a gentle and sensual song.
Throughout the concert, Carter was enthusiastic about engaging with the crowd, even going so far as to kiss a few select girls on the cheek and bring those with the best Carter-centric posters on stage for an Instagram photo-op.
Carter certainly wasn't shy about showing his affection, and might have even secured a date for himself with his eye candy in the crowd.
Just as the excitement in the room couldn't get any stronger, Carter traded his white top for a certain Lakers jersey, making sure to "accidentally" expose his toned abs. The crowd went crazy as "That's How I Beat Shaq" pounded through the speakers, and Carter seamlessly acted out the song's dreamed up basketball scene. There was no shortage of theatrics as Carter pretended to dribble the ball past Shaquille O'Neal up and down the stage.
Next up, Carter introduced his last song to jeering fans that didn't want the show to end. A retro '60s classic to some, "I Want Candy" is perhaps Carter's best-known song. The girls melted in their seats, each one of them undoubtedly wishing that they were the titular "Candy," as the 20-something former teen sensation sang his heart out one last time.
Carter and his crew made a final trip around the edges of the stage to shake hands, and disappeared backstage. The lights remained off, signaling to the crowd that Carter would be back, and the chants for his return grew even louder. Carter ran back onto the stage with a hopping rendition of "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)," the premiere teen celebration anthem of the early 2000s.
Every single person in the room was screaming the lyrics along with Carter, and the energy was electric. When the concert ended, many elated fans crowded the stage for a chance to snag Carter's towels and leftover water bottles. A few lucky (read: paying) VIP fans joined Carter backstage for an all-inclusive meet-and-greet opportunity.
From the soft rock sound of opening act Alexis Babini, to the unforgettable pop anthems of the last decade, Aaron Carter's "After Party" tour proved that the party never really stopped.

... Beverley Lee
1. Tell me about your book, The Making of Gabriel Davenport, and where you got your inspiration for it?
The Making of Gabriel Davenport is the first book of my dark fantasy series (the sequel, A Shining in the Shadows, releases in April 2017). It's set in the present day, in a little English village, and most of the story takes place in an old Manor House. The house is almost a character in its own right. The inspiration came from a TV series I once watched about a paranormal organisation who worked from a grand old building. I've always loved the idea, but never found the right story to do it justice, until Gabriel came along. In a nutshell, the book is about a normal family and what happens when one twisted branch of fate blows their world apart. It's about secrets and loyalty and consequences, and the indomitable spirit of human courage in seemingly hopeless situations.
2. Do you think giving away books for free works and why?
This is a very emotive subject amongst writers. Many say that giving away a book encourages readers to buy anything else you have written, but with the slew of free books out there a lot of readers don't pay for anything. They have come to expect a book for free. And this is the problem. Writing a book is a huge undertaking. It takes months and countless edits, endless hours of redrafting and chewing of fingernails. Hiring a professional editor is a big expense, along with a cover design company. You hyper focus and finally put your creation out there for a very minimal price. And people still want it for free. You wouldn't ask a plumber to fix a leak for free or a mechanic to check your car for nothing. Writing is no different. Quality story telling deserves to be paid for.
3. Do your characters seem to hijack the story or do you feel like you have the reigns of the story?
My characters always hijack the story! I'm a very character led writer. I have the bare bones of what I would like them to do, but quite often they refuse to be shoe horned into that, and lead me in a completely different direction. But that's the thrill and excitement of story, finding magic in those places they lead you to. If I ever get stalled during my writing it's generally because I'm trying to push them in the wrong direction. Once I give them free rein again, the words start to flow.
4. Are your characters based off real people or did they all come entirely from your imagination?
The only character who is based on a real person in Gabriel, is Olivia Taverner, one of the students working at The Manor. It wasn't until I actually finished the book that I realised that a lot of her character is, in fact, based on my son's fiancé. Olivia is a no nonsense, modern girl, who says exactly what she means but who holds loyalty close to her heart. Her actions have a huge effect on how the story ends. All of the other characters are purely imagination based. The one who is most like me is Noah. He always tries to please everybody and is the voice of reason and mediation.
5. What makes you cry?
Simple things make me cry. The cold beauty of a star-filled sky. Books that make me look away for a moment to digest the perfection of the words. A haunting piece of music. A sunset or sunrise over the ocean. Sunlight through a stained glass window. Sunbeams in general. And moonbeams. My cat when she washes behind her ears with a paw. Kindness.
6. In what ways do you hold yourself back?
I'm a terrible worrier. I hyper focus over the tiniest things, most of which are out of my control. I'm trying to focus my energies on the things I do have control over but it's a hard habit to break. And I second guess my actions when I should just go with my instinct. I also worry too much about what people think instead of doing what is right for me.
7. What genre do you write in and what draws you into this genre?
I've always been drawn to the darker side of fiction and I love fantasy, or maybe I should say I love exploring what most people don't believe exists. Dark fantasy for me lets me delve into the underbelly of a story, to pull apart each layer where the shadows play. That's a key theme in Gabriel, that thin blurred line between darkness and light, where nothing is quite as it seems. My imagination is much happier playing about in worlds where the rules aren't yet written and the mind can take flight.
8. Do you think the cover plays an important part in the buying process?
Yes, the cover is a huge influence on whether a reader will pick up a book. We tend to be very visual, and if the picture on the front of a book appeals, then it's more than possible that we will turn it over and read the back blurb. You could have the best story in the world, but without an aesthetically pleasing cover it won't go anywhere.
9. How would you survive a Zombie apocalypse?
As a fan of The Walking Dead I like to think that I know a thing or two about zombies. First, I would hijack a food lorry from a decent supermarket, then drive to the British Library. Plenty of space to explore and a never ending supply of books to read. But just one thing. Never open the doors! ;)
10. Mountains or the beach?
Although I love the ocean (even though I can't swim) it has to be the mountains I find such peace there either staring at the view or hiking along the trails. I find the sense of time and history so grounding. If I'm ever stuck at a plot point, I walk. And if that walk involves a mountain, I am doubly happy. Writers are usually introverted souls. Solitude is a song to us, and nature sings that song.
11. Did you learn anything from writing this book? If so what was it?
I learned that I'm a lot stronger than I thought I was. Writing a book is a huge undertaking. Actually carrying that forward through draft after draft takes stamina and a certain amount of stubbornness! I also learned that the only person who can influence how many people see Gabriel is me. There are thousands of titles out there and it's an uphill struggle to keep your head above water. But my reviews have been excellent and that's what keeps me going. I have a strong story, a good story, and I want people to read it. Success might not be blazing onto the bestseller list, it could be simply touching the lives of people who have immersed themselves into my book, and taken a little bit of Gabriel into their hearts.
In a house built on truth something lays hidden.
Beth and Stu Davenport moved to Meadowford Bridge to give their young son, Gabriel, an idyllic childhood. But one night, their dream is shattered by a hidden, ancient darkness-- and their lives are forever changed.
Years later, Gabriel goes looking for answers about his mysterious past. Soon, his life begins to unravel as he discovers that the people he loves and trusts most are harboring sinister secrets of their own. As the line blurs between darkness and light, Gabriel must confront the terrible events that destroyed his family all those years ago.
His choice: continue living a lie in blissful oblivion, or give himself over to a terrifying new reality. The darkness awaits.

A 300 kW solid oxide fuel cell gas turbine (SOFC-GT) power plant simulator is evaluated with the use of a model reference adaptive control (MRAC) scheme, implemented for a set of nonlinear empirical transfer functions. The SOFC-GT simulator allows testing of various fuel cell models under a hardware-in-the-loop configuration that incorporates a 120 kW auxiliary power unit and balance-of-plant components in hardware, and a fuel cell model in software. The adaptation technique is beneficial to plants having a wide range of operation, and strong coupling interaction. The practical implementation of the adaptive methodology is presented through simulation in the Matlab/Simulink environment.

"Easter Egg hunt" Hood Mountain!
April 16, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pmFree
Event Navigation
I plan on going despite some rain in forecast.
Do you want to go on an "Easter egg hunt" with a bunch of curious and fun nature nerds? What better way to spend part of your Easter? Bring a friend or some family members for a healthy, outdoorsy, brain-stimulating way to spend the holiday. The North Coast Nature Journal Club will hike around Hood Mountain regional park, using our nature journals as a lens for engaging with the natural world. Instead of looking for plastic eggs filled with sugar we will look for precious natural nuggets of wonder that are just waiting to be found by a curious eye. Some dark chocolate might be involved as a cognitive enhancer. There will be great opportunities to compose and paint landscape sketches in the mixed oak woodlands and meadows. Depending on the group we might opt for a more adventurous hike to see some of the North Bay panoramas available from the ridges, where we can try our hand at painting "grand landscapitos" and study atmospheric perspective. There are also beautiful creeks to explore.
This outing will involve more strenuous hiking and areas with very uneven ground. Please wear layers, sun protection, and comfortable hiking shoes. Bring a potluck item that can be carried on the trail. Easter themed is fun if you want. As always bring your sketching and watercolor supplies. Light folding stools might be useful but focus on mobility and comfort.
We will meet at the Pythian Rd entrance parking lot. Please do not accidentally go to the Los Alamos rd entrance. This is a Sonoma County Regional Park so there is a $7 parking fee. (I recommend becoming a member. Many of our meetings will take place at these parks so a membership could be a good commitment).

The 10 Best Tower Fans
We spent 42 hours on research, videography, and editing, to review the top options for this wiki. If you need a way to circulate large amounts of air throughout your home or office, but you don't have a lot of room, one of these convenient tower fans will definitely come in handy. They offer sleek and slim profiles, small footprints with multiple speed settings, and powerful motors designed to keep you cool and comfortable in almost any indoor space. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to support our work. Skip to the best tower fan on Amazon.
Better Health And Comfort Through Better Air Circulation
The use of a fan in a bedroom provides several benefits, the first of which is circulation.
Proper airflow and moderate interior temperatures are also important for one's health and well-being.
While nobody likes to inhabit a hot, stuffy room, proper ventilation and air circulation can play a much bigger role than simply enhancing one's comfort. Proper airflow and moderate interior temperatures are also important for one's health and well-being. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration) recommends an interior temperature range between 68 and 76 degrees Fahrenheit.
While ideal room temperature ultimately depends on personal preference, it's important not to work, cook, socialize, or attempt to sleep in a room that is too warm for comfort. Heat exhaustion can have far-reaching effects on human health, including cognitive and physiological problems.
Sleeping in a room that is too warm and still can increase the prevalence of sleep apnea issues. Those afflicted with mild sleep apnea may not require any invasive treatment, but creating an ideal sleeping environment complete with cool, fresh air is a prerequisite for safety during sleep.
To create the ideal sleeping situation, one should utilize all available resources, which include an open window when exterior air temperatures prove suitable, central air conditioning systems or stand-alone wall units as needed, and fans to keep the air moving.
The use of a fan in a bedroom provides several benefits, the first of which is circulation. Second, the fan helps create a cooling effect by lifting cooler air from the floor of a room, and by increasing the evaporation rate of perspiration when it passes over human skin. Finally, a fan creates white noise that helps to drown out other sounds that could be a distraction during sleep (or during the attempt to fall asleep).
White noise, such as the whirring of fan blades and the rustling breeze they create, hits multiple audible frequencies at once, thereby creating a constant and consistent sound to which the brain can quickly grow accustomed.
Choosing The Right Fan For Your Home
If you are hoping to circulate and cool the air in a small, confined space, you might need to use a desk fan or even a diminutive clip on-style fan. If, however, the space in question has at least a square foot or so of free floor space, then a tower fan will prove to be the most effective, efficient way to move air about in almost any room.
Almost every tower fan has at least a low, medium, and high speed setting, but some offer as many as eight and even ten different speed settings.
Tower fans have the benefit of a slender profile that can still produce as much (or in some cases more) airflow than traditional disc-shaped fans. This is true because most tower fans stack several smaller fans atop one another within their vertically-oriented bodies. Other variations on the standard tower fan, such as an air multiplier type of unit, use powerful fans set in a base that pushes air out of an open top section. Both designs create a large swath of moving air that can help create plenty of movement inside a room.
As all decent tower fans will move air in the same manner, your choice of which unit best suits your needs should first be defined by magnitude. Some fans are rated to move as much as 500 cubic feet of air per minute and can produce breezes felt as far as 100 feet away (under the right conditions), making them suitable for a large master suite or a generously-sized living room. Other tower fans may only move enough air for a ten-by-twelve bedroom, but they will cost a fraction of the price. There's no need for a fan that's more powerful than a room merits, as beyond a point, faster air circulation won't provide additional cooling.
Once you have established the volume of air you need moved, consider the customization options offered by various tower fans. Almost every tower fan has at least a low, medium, and high speed setting, but some offer as many as eight and even ten different speed settings. While all good tower fans oscillate, not all have timer functions. These details should be the deciding factor.
Some Ideas For Ideal Fan Usage
To ensure your fan is operating in the most efficient and effective manner, take care to place it properly in your home. A fan placed near the bottom of a staircase will send cool air up to the next floor, often a welcome relief for the bedrooms likely located upstairs. If you can position a fan near the open entrance to a subterranean basement, that will help draw up air that might be as much as twenty degrees cooler than the ambient interior temperature above ground. While a fan blowing across a bed can provide short-term cooling, one blowing air out of a bedroom's door paired with a cracked window (provided it is cool enough outside) can create an even more appealing cross breeze.
Always consider the air beyond the direct current of your fan. If your fan is creating an upward draft, for example, that might bring warm air down from the ceiling, ultimately elevating the apparent temperature in a room. A fan toward an open window might be intended to create a cross breeze inside, but might in fact have the opposite effect of preventing an interior breeze if the outdoor air currents are behaving differently.
Pay attention to the existing conditions in and around your interior space before choosing how and where you will use a fan. Doing so will reap the biggest rewards from its use, both in terms of freshness and coolness of the air.
