4 Benefits of Fall HVAC Maintenance
With Havana, Florida, homeowners using their air conditioners year-round, it's important to ensure that HVAC systems are working properly at all times. Although we experience hot and humid conditions for much of the year in our region, freezing or near freezing temperatures are not unusual during the winter periods. That makes fall a great time to schedule HVAC maintenance so that you can continue to experience efficient indoor comfort during cold weather.
Improved Comfort
Your air conditioner gets a lot of use during the peak summer months. After all that work fighting against the Florida heat, your HVAC system is going to be in dire need of a checkup. Having your HVAC maintained in fall ensures that it will operate at peak performance through the winter months. Despite usually having mild winters in Florida, it's nice to know you'll enjoy comfortable indoor temperatures even if the weather brings a few surprises.
Quicker Service
Not many homeowners schedule their annual HVAC service during the fall months. To avoid problems, have your service scheduled now so that you won't have to worry about wait time. A maintenance agreement also gives you priority service if you ever need an unscheduled visit.
Allergy Prevention
With Florida homeowners rarely having to rely on their heating systems, a lot can go wrong when those systems remain dormant for so long. Your HVAC technician can spot serious issues with your furnace before you even need to turn it on. This can include getting rid of carbon monoxide threats, mold, mildew, or other harmful pathogens and preventing them from circulating throughout the home.
Reduced Repair Costs
Scheduling an annual tuneup now can save you a lot of money over the life of your HVAC system. Regular maintenance prevents costly system failures so that you can keep more money in your pocket. You may also have access to money-saving specials during the fall months.
Call Air Control Heating & Cooling at 850-391-4300 to schedule your annual HVAC maintenance appointment. We will ensure that your system provides ongoing comfort to keep your family safe and comfortable throughout the season.

The Hollaback Girl has done a lot of great stuff to her blonde hair: Long, short, curly, straight, buns, ponytails… you name it. But her style is something really curious, since is not your normal celebrity look.
She definitely takes it up a notch and always gives her hair a unique touch. Her color is also something special: It's not way too bright yellow, yet not too bleached white.
One thing at should say (after basically worshipping her hair more than her) is that a lot of the hairstyles she wears, are most likely to be done by a lot of people, without taking into account the hair length.
Obviously, there are some that look better with short hair, and same way with long hair. My point is that she can be a great inspiration if you're feeling kind of self-conscious about your hair, since she pulls whatever she does with a lot of confidence.
For example, her iconic quiff is an unforgettable thing, since she has rocked this style many times during red carpets. But, you should ask yourself: Is that something I'll be into? Probably not since you require a lot of time/effort to do so, and time is something we all hairstyle geeks appreciate saving.
Back in the day, she used to have more crazy looks (she even dyed it pink!), while now she keeps it a lot edgier and classier. She's all about the pony tails and the half-up half-down situation, and I have to say I like this Gwen Stefani more than de 2000 pigtail version
Another thing to point out is that she never looks out of style, and is not like the celebrities you know that style their hair in a certain way, since she always mix it up a bit and always has the same result: looks flawless no matter what.
Gwen always makes a statement with her looks, and this is something I really appreciate. The message here is that, no matter what kind of hair you have, you can try and do most of the hairstyles and get away with it.
All you might need are some bobby pins and hair elastics (sometimes a good old natural ingredient dry shampoo can save you). She doesn't have a lot of hair accessories such as hair bands or clips, but if that's your thing, then go ahead!
You should never feel like you have to look like someone else or to have your hair in an exact same hairstyle as your favorite celebrity.
I hope you get inspired by her different phases of hairstyles, and that if you give them a try you pull them out with a lot of confidence and pride.

You and I both have come across countless articles that provide tips and tricks to build a successful life or career. We've read them and they tend to focus on things like time management, goal setting, developing your communication skills and relationship building.
Those are no doubt important and crucial to your success. However, I think there's one tip that often gets overlooked. It's reflection.
Taking time to reflect on yourself is essential to your professional and personal success. Reflection keeps you in control. It builds your confidence and it develops your learning.
There are moments in everyone's childhood that we've held on to and unknowingly reflect on them. You may reflect on that time you needed stitches because you fell from your bike or when you missed your parent's curfew, and got caught.
Think about an experience you've had in the workplace that you've held on to. Do you remember it? I remember one of mine.
I was two weeks out of college and working as an office assistant. A part of my job was dealing with client calls. Sometimes, I would get too casual with them. When talking with clients, I would say "Yeah" instead of "Yes". This is something I didn't think twice about, but it can be seen as unprofessional. Thankfully, my lovely manager made a note to me about this. I appreciated the feedback and have held on to this for years.
This feedback has played a part in developing my communications skills.
To this day, I make a special effort to say "yes" when communicating with clients or when in a professional setting. Sometimes "yeah" does slip out, I won't lie!
Reflecting on little experiences like those, your successes, failures, experiences, relationships, skills, goals and needs, keeps your mind focused on what's important to you.
So, how do you reflect? In the last few days of 2015, I sat down and wrote a list of highlights and lowlights. Here are some highlights:
- Got engaged
- Received a very special thank you email from a Senior Manager
- Took on a new volunteer position (shout out to 541 Eatery & Exchange!)
- Completed my first photography course
Not so bad right? What have you done lately?
Take time to think about it. You'll appreciate it and it'll motivate you to accomplish more.

પૃથ્વી અને સુર્યની વચ્ચે શુક્ર આવી ગયો. નીહારીકા અને બ્રહ્માંડમાં આવી ગટનાઓ રોજે રોજે હજારો કરોડો વખત બને છે. એમાં સુર્ય બીચારો એક નાનકડો ટપકો કહેવાય. એટલું જ નહીં હજારો કરોડો અબજો કીલો મીટર લંબાઈની એક નીહારીકા બીજી નીહારીકા સાથે અથડાય કે જોડાઈ જાય તો પણ આવા તારા કે સુર્ય અને એની આસપાસ ફરતા પૃથ્વી જેવા ગૃહને તો ખબર પણ ન પડે. એટલે કે ચંદ્ર પૃથ્વી આસ પાસ ફરે પૃથ્વી સુર્યની આસપાસ ફરે અને પાછો સુર્ય કે તારો નીહારીકાની નાભી આસપાસ ફરે. આપણાં સુર્યને નીહારીકાની નાભી આસપાસ ચક્કર મારતાં હજી અઢાર ચક્કર પણ માંડ માંડ થયા છે એટલે કે સુર્ય અઢાર વરસનો થયો કહેવાય.......

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is almost perfectly spherical and consists of hot plasma interwoven with magnetic fields.[11][12] It has a diameter of about 1,392,000 km, about 109 times that of Earth, and its mass (about 2×1030 kilograms, 330,000 times that of Earth) accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.[13] Chemically, about three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen, while the rest is mostly helium. The remainder (1.69%, which nonetheless equals 5,628 times the mass of Earth) consists of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon and iron, among others.[14]
The Sun's stellar classification, based on spectral class, is G2V, and is informally designated as a yellow dwarf, because its visible radiation is most intense in the yellow-green portion of the spectrum and although its color is white, from the surface of the Earth it may appear yellow because of atmospheric scattering of blue light.[15] In the spectral class label, G2 indicates its surface temperature of approximately 5778 K (5505 °C), and V indicates that the Sun, like most stars, is a main-sequence star, and thus generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium. In its core, the Sun fuses 620 million metric tons of hydrogen each second. Once regarded by astronomers as a small and relatively insignificant star, the Sun is now thought to be brighter than about 85% of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy, most of which are red dwarfs.[16][17] The absolute magnitude of the Sun is +4.83; however, as the star closest to Earth, the Sun is the brightest object in the sky with an apparent magnitude of −26.74.[18][19] The Sun's hot corona continuously expands in space creating the solar wind, a stream of charged particles that extends to the heliopause at roughly 100 astronomical units. The bubble in the interstellar medium formed by the solar wind, the heliosphere, is the largest continuous structure in the Solar System.[20][21]
The Sun is currently traveling through the Local Interstellar Cloud in the Local Bubble zone, within the inner rim of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Of the 50 nearest stellar systems within 17 light-years from Earth (the closest being a red dwarf named Proxima Centauri at approximately 4.2 light-years away), the Sun ranks fourth in mass.[22] The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way at a distance of approximately 24,000–26,000 light-years from the galactic center, completing one clockwise orbit, as viewed from the galactic north pole, in about 225–250 million years. Since our galaxy is moving with respect to the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) in the direction of the constellation Hydra with a speed of 550 km/s, the Sun's resultant velocity with respect to the CMB is about 370 km/s in the direction of Crater or Leo.[23]
The mean distance of the Sun from the Earth is approximately 149.6 million kilometers (1 AU), though the distance varies as the Earth moves from perihelion in January to aphelion in July.[24] At this average distance, light travels from the Sun to Earth in about 8 minutes and 19 seconds. The energy of this sunlight supports almost all life on Earth by photosynthesis,[25] and drives Earth's climate and weather. The enormous effect of the Sun on the Earth has been recognized since prehistoric times, and the Sun has been regarded by some cultures as a deity. An accurate scientific understanding of the Sun developed slowly, and as recently as the 19th century prominent scientists had little knowledge of the Sun's physical composition and source of energy. This understanding is still developing; there are a number of present-day anomalies in the Sun's behavior that remain unexplained.
A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system that consists of stars and stellar remnants, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and an important but poorly understood component tentatively dubbed dark matter.[1][2] The word galaxy is derived from the Greek galaxias (γαλαξίας), literally "milky", a reference to the Milky Way galaxy. Examples of galaxies range from dwarfs with as few as ten million (107) stars[3] to giants with a hundred trillion (1014) stars,[4] each orbiting their galaxy's own center of mass.
Galaxies contain varying amounts of star systems, star clusters and types of interstellar clouds. In between these objects is a sparse interstellar medium of gas, dust, and cosmic rays. Dark matter appears to account for around 90% of the mass of most galaxies. Observational data suggests that supermassive black holes may exist at the center of many, if not all, galaxies. They are thought to be the primary driver of active galactic nuclei found at the core of some galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy appears to harbor at least one such object.[5]
Galaxies have been historically categorized according to their apparent shape; usually referred to as their visual morphology. A common form is the elliptical galaxy,[6] which has an ellipse-shaped light profile. Spiral galaxies are disk-shaped with dusty, curving arms. Those with irregular or unusual shapes are known as irregular galaxies and typically originate from disruption by the gravitational pull of neighboring galaxies. Such interactions between nearby galaxies, which may ultimately result in a merging, sometimes induce significantly increased incidents of star formation leading to starburst galaxies. Smaller galaxies lacking a coherent structure are referred to as irregular galaxies.[7]
There are probably more than 170 billion (1.7 × 1011) galaxies in the observable universe,[8][9] and possibly more in a theoretical wider multiverse.[10] Most are 1,000 to 100,000[11] parsecs in diameter and usually separated by distances on the order of millions of parsecs (or megaparsecs).[12] Intergalactic space (the space between galaxies) is filled with a tenuous gas of an average density less than one atom per cubic meter. The majority of galaxies are organized into a hierarchy of associations known as groups and clusters, which, in turn usually form larger superclusters. At the largest scale, these associations are generally arranged into sheets and filaments, which are surrounded by immense voids.

I love QR Codes, every time i see them it sparks ideas of innovative ways of utilizing them. The main draw back is of course – market take up. I would love to see an app come with every phone, or ideally built into the camera app not just on a phone handset, but in consumer point and shoots too.
Barriers in the way of this are the tools to create them, and add them to things like video and images. I was disheartended to learn that most people and agencies pay to have this done. So i've knocked up a quick and dirty way to create a QR code, and add it to an image.
Try the Quick and Dirty App (needs a modern browser)
I'll iterate it at some point and plugin some tracking so you can see how many times people have viewed it.
The code is free so do with it what you will, it uses some js from the fantastic jquery drag/drop over at ThreeDubMedia

Are Your Tires Ready for Winter?
Having a car can be a big help. But if you don't know how to take good care of your vehicle, you can become a nuisance to others on the road. This is particularly true if you don't know how to properly maintain your car. Apart from causing accidents or road traffic, you could lead to a potentially dangerous experience for those sharing the road with you. This is why it is always best to be wise and be a responsible car owner.
One thing you have to know about being a car owner is that you need to know how to be ready for different weather conditions. Especially now that winter is coming, you have to be fully prepared for the season so that you don't pose a threat to other people on the road. With the icy roads, you have to see to it that your car will be ready for the challenge waiting ahead. This means that you need to take care of your tires so they can be ready for the delicate roads.
Here are a few things to remember to see that your tires are ready for winter:
Check your tire tread
Before you go out, you need to make sure that your tires are ready for winter. One of the things you have to do is to check whether or not the tread on your tires are still okay. You can only be sure of the quality of your tire treads when you regularly have them aligned and rotated. With this, you can be sure that your treads will be even on both sides of your car.
However, if you don't regularly check this, you might encounter problem in having your wheels aligned and adjusted. You need to do this before the roads become icy so you don't encounter any problems later on. If you don't check this, you might encounter a major problem on the road since it will be difficult for your tires to get more grip for braking and accelerating.
To check your tread, you can do the penny test. Using a penny, you can already see whether or not you will need a new tire for your car. Try to place the penny into one of the tread grooves on your tire. Make sure that Lincoln's head on the coin is facing you. If there is any portion of his head being obscured by the tread, then that indicates that it is still okay to use. On the other hand, if you can't see past the head, you will need to get new tires.
Check tire pressure
The most common cause of uneven tire wear is brought about by under-inflation. This typically happens when the temperature drops. While it takes a while before your tires become under-inflated, it could be a potential danger once your tire pressure drops as small as 5psi. Not to mention, if you keep your tires properly inflated, you won't have to spend a lot of money in buying new tires since it can help last you a longer period of time.
Do you need snow tires?
A common misconception is that you won't need snow tires if you don't live in mountainous areas. Unfortunately, this is a big lie that many tend to take for granted. The truth is that your tires won't be able to perform as good in winter as they do throughout the year. In fact, the cold temperature may result to encountering hard tires and this could lead the tires to lose their normal traction. Even if there isn't any snow on the ground, your tires could still deal with this problem. One way you can protect your tires is to change them for snow tires during this season.
If you want to be certain about using snow tires on your car, you can check with your car's local dealership. They usually have a service department that can help you determine whether or not snow tires will be necessary for your area's weather. At the same time, they can help give you a good recommendation on which tires would be best for your specific car make and model.
It may take you some time to prepare your car for winter season, but in the end, you'll regret not taking time out for this specific purpose. It can help you avoid accidents and even other costly expenditures that you may have to face when you don't get your tires ready for the season. By devoting some time to your checking your car's tires, you can be fully ready for the season and the icy roads that will get in your way. In the end, your drive through the cold road will turn out to be a good experience.

7 seasons why I love my Porsche 918 Spyder
The day is finally here, the day I get to show you my 918 spider. The one thing is I don't want to do the same video that I always do. So I'm going to change things up a little bit and I'm just going to give you 7 reasons why I freaking love this thing. So let's get started.
Wow acceleration baby, acceleration. That's one of my favourite parts about this g* car, wow just sweat a little bit, in the crouch area too. I don't think that's sweat though. Number 2, the design that's exactly how we get there. This is one of my favourite things about the car. Obviously the design over all of the car is one of my favourite things. But aside from that the job that the guys in secrecy did with the wrap. The car used to be metallic black, it's not anymore obviously. They did a wet wrap on it, which is a clear brown with a little bit of texture giving it that look, like mat look and also clearly the trong lines, which are not really trong lines. The guys at Secrecy really just wanted to highlight a little bit more of the lines because the car has a very smooth shape. So we wanted to make it look a little bit more aggressive or they wanted to make it look a little bit more aggressive. Aside from that the wheels, the brakes, one of my most favourite design items right here. Look at that those peanut shape wheels yes, someone brought it up and they are kind of right. The back of the car, the wing when it's up. This right here, this whole thing right here one of my most favourite parts. I mean who doesn't like a girl with a big booty right. I mean that has nothing to do with the video I'm just saying. God look at that and those two exhaust pipes right behind your ears, nothing beats the noise that comes out of those.
The noise, I'm in a quiet neighbourhood right now so let's (unclear) you're stepping on it. I can't hear because it's a little bit isolated from everything else. Can you beat that , nope and it's right behind my ears, the exhaust are right here unbelievable, even that noise that it makes with the battery engines, motors. My God.
It's rootless it's the only hipper car that you can take the roof off and that is absolutely priceless, actually comes with a price. But it's actually the cheapest one of all 3 so I'll take it, look at that. This is what the car is supposed to be like, this is like meeting that girl that you wanted to bang in high school with a big ass patties and you can touch him roofless, topless.
The mode yep all electric mode, no engine noise, no nothing you can put on the air, you can turn on the radio, you can do whatever you want and you can enjoy yourself if you don't feel like you're in that engine and especially when you're in traffic it really works really really well. It's one of those things that really always messed up with my head right. Oh I want to get a hipper car, I'm going to get a preo like hipper car, that's kind of weird. They are amazing, the tourt that they throw in and the fact that you can go on stelf modem basically get out of your house without your wife knowing. You' r e getting a super car, hipper car but it's a hiberd and it scared me for a while because I always don't know people that drive (unclear) just suck and yeah they do. Totally messing with you just the people that drive suck. These cars are better understood if you think of them as a turbo car right. So think about turbo chargers, imagine illuminated lag 100% and adding that kick the moment you step on the truddle. That's exactly what you get with these cars. The whole battery powered cars are bull shit, that's that, that's that. These are insane machines every day I fall more and more in love with them and I just can't wait until Portia changes all of their cars and make this technology available for everyone because you guys don't understand how good it is.
The interior of the car of course, carbon fibre every time I can see carbon fibre that's a huge yes for my book right. So we got plenty of that right there, we have topped that with the sexy ass steering wheel that you see right here, cart man yeah I know, I'm a child. Double screen, madly in love with that screen right there, that saves lives whenever you're driving the car without the top on, why because there's no reflection problems so yeah that saves you from using this one. You have these beautiful long screen which operates the A/C, the radio and the menu is up here and it's a touch screen. Two different things to use. The seats my God aren't they beautiful and then you get the bracing seats with the carbon fibre right here and they say 918 spider with the Portia logo on the back. For a hipper car this is my favourite interior hold 3 between the P1, the left Farari, this is more of a car that you can drive every single day and not even thing about been in a hipper care. Lot's of carbon fibre, I'm actually about to order a few more pieces in carbon if I were like to centre council right here the lines would go there at the bottom right here. We're going to be changing the stearin g wheel, we're going to do (unclear). But I'm just doing that because I'm a morone.
It makes you a better driver and that's a big plus in my car. I understand that we all like to get in the car, drive a manual, rev match, really work to get the most out of the car. I understand I'm one of those people, I really really enjoy that and I feel like doing it. For the most part though there is something really cool about just been able to get in this car and getting the most out of it, setting up a labtime that you'll never be able to set up in any other car with similar power and similar weight ratio. I don't know, I enjoy it and I know a lot of people are going to argue with me about this point because I'm also on the other side of things but dude I'm not a race car driver I enjoy been able to do this, I enjoy to be able to get in the car and just pull insane figures out of it.
Advances in Variable Ratio Steering
Keeping a car stable on the road has a lot to do with the suspension and tire technology. However, there are also things that can contribute stability while driving that is housed inside of the vehicle's steering wheel. This is the approach that has been taken with Ford's New Variable-Ratio Steering System. This type of new steering approach helps a driver to move the wheels of a car more while not having to turn the steering wheel excessively.
Not a New Concept
This type of steering, referred to as active steering, is something that has been around for the past 12 to 13 years. In fact, luxury automakers like BMW have been employing this type of steering in many of their luxury vehicles. There are several things that make the Ford approach unique.
The Difference
The first difference between the BMW inspire active steering and Ford's variable ratio steering is that Ford's adaptation is the first of its type to be introduced on non-luxury vehicles. The fact is that a person won't have to spend a small fortune to have improved steering and stability while driving a vehicle.
Easy to Upgrade
Another benefit to this type of ratio steering technology is that because it's housed in the steering wheel, virtually any Ford vehicle with enough clearance room in the steering wheel can be retrofitted with variable ratio steering. Ford was very deliberate in making this a standalone unit in the hopes of being able to retrofit new models, as well as customers being able to retrofit existing Ford vehicles with this new type of steering technology.
Variable Ratios of the Past
The fact is that this type of variable ratio steering has been around for a while. However, in the past there were trade-offs. Higher ratios for steering meant that a person would have to turn the wheel many times in order to get them to turn. The benefit to this was that even though a great deal of wheel was having to be put into turning, it was extremely easy to move the steering wheel.
With steering that had lower ratios, less turning of the steering wheel had been done in order to get the tires to move. Unfortunately, this made turning the wheel extremely difficult. While some of these things were improved with power steering, variable steering ratios still exhibited similar challenges, even with a power steering unit.
Powered Units as a Solution
To counteract that, when active steering or variable ratio steering was introduced by BMW, the unit was powered by electricity. Much like power steering helped people maneuver cars without a great deal of resistance, the electric powered active steering device allowed for easy steering, regardless of whether the wheel was moving a great deal or only moving a little. This same premise is what has been introduced by Ford in its new variable ratio steering.
The Benefits
Many people might wonder about the benefits of this type of steering device. One of the main benefits is being able to steer and maneuver the vehicle in tight spaces. With tighter urban areas, smaller parking spaces and more traffic than ever before, having a vehicle that can handle easily in confined spaces without the driver having to turn the wheel excessively makes for a better handling vehicle.
At higher rates of speed, this type of steering allows the driver more stability. Less wheel needs to be used at higher speeds in general. However with variable ratio steering, even less turning will need to be made in the event that a driver will have to make evasive movements at highway speeds.
These advancements in variable ratio steering technologies will be of benefit to a large number of drivers on the road today. For drivers of heavy duty service trucks or commuters that own small compact vehicles, easier steering and maneuverability will continue to be a highly sought after feature in modern vehicles. With Ford making their technology more accessible, competitive manufacturers will likely follow suit.
Finding Auto Service with Great Service and Authentic Parts
Owners of BMW cars will want to get the best BMW repair shops to take care of their BMW cars. As a car owner, one will understand the necessity of taking cars to have a proper maintenance. From time to time, maintaining car condition will need to be done in order to keep its level of safety and performance at its best. The regular maintenance will also help in detecting particular parts of the car that need more attention such as being repaired or even replaced. While there are a lot of auto service shops can be found, finding the best is not as easy.
Recently, thanks to the help of the modern technology, a lot of auto service shops are establishing their own websites to lure more people into hiring their services. These websites are very useful as car owners will be able to check on them whenever they need a service especially the one in the area they are not familiar with. By checking the websites, there will be no need to go outside and drive the car which will definitely need to spend money to buy gas. Stay at home and browse the websites. There will be no money spent and the information acquired will be similar more or less.
A real good service shop is the one that will provide top service at satisfying level. This includes the friendly staff who will serve customers without leaving bad impression to the customers. The real good service technically will certainly become one of the most important things to be considered. No matter how friendly one service is, it will not be good enough if the maintenance, repair and replacement considered being not good enough. Last but not least auto service shops those provide authentic parts will make things easier for car owners.

Paintless Dent Removal
Small dents up to 3 inches in diameter, with little or no damage to the paintwork can be massaged out from behind the panel. This is known as the PDR (Paintless Dent Removal). This is a quick and much cheaper alternative to the traditional fill and paint process.
Dent Removal – Glue Pulling
We use this technique when there is no access to the back of the panels or for dents towards the edges of panels.
The process involves the application of a small plastic "mushroom" which is glued to the dent and then removed using a gripping tool, which fixes the dent. The area is then cleaned to leave an as new finish.
