When our family first moved into our home five years ago, the central heating and air unit were brand new. We never considered that there would be a time when it would not be operating as we wanted it to. When the time to buy a new unit came, we found that the available options were more diverse than we thought. It was all too confusing. After researching the different options, I decided to create this blog. My hope is that others who are faced with this decision can find easy-to-understand information that can aid in quickly making an informed decision.

Your yard's appearance is a major factor in determining the aesthetic qualities of your home, which can play a role in establishing the value of the property. While there are many different upgrades that you can make to your yard, many homeowners do not fully understand landscaping, and this may cause them to need answers to a couple of questions about landscaping upgrades they can make to their yards. After learning these two answers, you should be able to make informed choices for your yard, which can help ensure that it always looks as beautiful as possible.
Can You Make Waterfalls And Fountains More Efficient?
Fountains and waterfalls are among the most common landscaping upgrades that people will make to their yards. While these devices can substantially improve the look of your yard, they require large amounts of water to work, and this can result in painful water bills or an inability to use these devices during droughts.
Luckily, it is possible for you to make an upgrade that can substantially lower the amount of water that you will need to provide these systems. Rain capture and storage systems can be installed that will provide the water for your fountain or waterfall. While it may seem like this will not provide enough water for your fountain, it should be noted that it will only need to replace water that has been lost through evaporation, and these storage systems are usually more than able to meet this need.
Is It Possible To Improve Drainage in Areas Of Your Yard?
There are some homeowners that must battle poor drainage in areas of their yards. This problem can lead to having standing water for several days following a heavy rain. In addition to killing any plants that are in this area, this standing water can also create the ideal conditions for mosquitoes and other insects.
For those that are battling this issue, French drains in the area with the standing water may be the ideal solution for correcting this issue. These drains are designed to be buried, and they have pores that will allow water to enter the drain, which will then carry it away.
Having a beautifully landscaped yard can be an excellent investment in maintaining or increasing your home's value. However, this is a field that can encompass many different upgrades and problems, which can be overwhelming to many homeowners. Fortunately, understanding these two answers to common landscaping questions should help you to feel less overwhelmed and better informed when making these decisions.

Algae is the new crude. It converts CO2 into triacylglycerol and can break down into a sludgy form of organic crude material (biomass), that can then be further broken down, chemically converted into ethanol and biofuel.
The question of whether algae will replace fossil fuels is the wrong question; the question is how much of earth's "oil producing" capabilities can be sped up by using algae?
"Well, it is a basically simple process that uses temperature, pressure, and time to accomplish the chemical conversions ... A lot of people think of fossil fuels as, you know, dinosaurs and giant ferns and things. There is some of that, but the bulk of the organic matter was algae. Gradually the organic matter converts into slightly different forms, which make up the material that comes out as crude oil or natural gas."
"One of the biggest single sources of greenhouse gases and other pollution to our atmosphere are landfills. They decompose over time creating methane and other greenhouse gases."
"In urban areas as much as 40 percent of all trash is food waste."
-- Modern Marvels Environmental Tech II
In nature this process takes months, but with an indoor composter supercharging waste for the perfect oxygen, moisture content and temperature, compost can be made in as little as two weeks.
Know of any eco-friendly mail-order house companies around today?
"From 1908 until 1940, Sears offered 370 models to choose from. Houses available ranged from the modest "Starlight" to the stately "Alhambra." One option was a sweet little bungalow, called "the Osborn."
"It was one of their best selling homes," says Thornton. "I've seen 'Osborns' all over the country."
After you picked out the house of your dreams, Sears would mail it to you in 30,000 pieces. The kit included 750 pounds of nails, 27 gallons of paint and varnish, 10 pounds of wood putty, 460 pounds of window weight, 27 windows, 25 doors and a 75 page instruction book.
By following the instructions, you could build "the Collingwood," "the Chatham," "the Maytown," "the Vallonia" or "the Chelsea." A home could be brought for $500 and up.
Sears Roebuck promised that a man of average abilities could build one of their homes in 90 days. "

I fell in love w/ a Carnivorous Horse.
I had no tongue.
I cannot remember if I lost it before or after I met her. The stitches never melted away, and I felt them digging into surrounding soft tissue. At night, they would even begin to chew.
Now you will understand, nothing surprises me.
On our third date, the horse devoured a breast of mine (a beast of mine).
When I didn't moan in pleasure my horse's teeth became inflamed w/ wine & fruit. She latched onto the inside of my thighs w/ a proboscis
drank any sustenance I had left.
There was no milk for my children.
I mashed up pieces of my own flesh to feed them. "meat, meat, meat, meat," the lil sociopath's chanted. It made me sick and to this day, I don't know if they're alive or dead. What I mean is: I've never found their remains. There were so many nights where I dreamed, yes dreamed, with my eyes wide open,
the Carnivorous Horse licking their skulls clean.
I never knew what made me different than the men, women, and children she devoured. I spent my nights inside her mouth. Once I found an eye stuck b/t her teeth- the pupil's mouth gaping. I stored it underneath my remaining breast, until it began to stink, and the Carnivorous Horse fished it out w/ her tongue. I shivered in pleasure.
At night, I soaked my hair in a concoction of bird's milk and honey, and she would watch with what must have been adoration, as I slowly plaited it into a single braid. She liked when I used the ends of my hair to tickle her lips & the soft skin around her nostrils. I could forget- at least for a time- that she was the Carnivorous Horse, who trampled entire villages (including all I had ever known) beneath her hooves. We were merely lovers.
Why are you called the Carnivorous Horse?
I couldn't ask of course, I had no tongue, but my whole body screamed the question.
"After I ate my father," the Carnivorous Horse said. "I was known as the patricidal horse, until I ate the next year's homecoming queen. I got blood on my sea foam colored suit, then the title Carnivorous Horse fit best."
Soon after, in the hours of the early morning, I swear I could hear crying coming from the pit of my lover's belly, and I wondered if those were horse's tears. Yet, I had my doubts:
a) I had never heard my Carnivorous Horse cry, nor had she ever shed a single tear in my presence.
b) I had never seen any horses cry, either in movies or in real life. They were unbelievably stoic creatures.
How does one eat a homecoming queen anyway?
Did my horse lover leap onto the stage, as the queen was being crowned, and devour her – tiara and all?
Or did she wait until the homecoming queen snuck into the bathroom to surreptitiously drink from a flask?
….were they lovers?
One night, I tied my braid around one of the Carnivorous Horse's thirty-six incisors, and tickled her throat until she was compelled to swallow me.
I landed on a homecoming queen, I could tell by the neon-blue mascara staining the hair under her eyes.
"I've been listening to your god-awful moaning for years," she said.
"What did she see in you?"
I couldn't say anything. I had no tongue.
"Will you at least help me fix my dress. My mother sewed it for me. A herculean effort as you can see." She clacked her hooves together.
The dress was embroidered with pearls and shells I had never seen before. Even in this low light, it mimicked water & algae rising to my ankles, then swirling to my hips. It would not be long before I was completely submerged. I plucked out strands of my hair to use as thread, and one by one my rope, and life, unraveled.
We had centuries to get to know each other in the stomach of the Carnivorous Horse.
The homecoming queen tried to fashion me a tongue, even chewing off the tip of her own. But it was a useless contraption that felt awkward in my mouth.
I fixed her makeup. She clipped off some of her eyelashes to weave into my own.
My hair grew back, thicker than ever, and stretched through the membranes of the Carnivorous Horse's internal organs & the pores of her skin. One day her body cracked open, she had been reduced to a dehydrated husk, long ago strangled by my hair. We climbed out into a new world w/o horses or humans.
The homecoming queen and I are growing old together (we are already old, but older still). We are not lovers, just friends, and every night we crown each other homecoming queens of the universe.

First, you have to figure out where the hand goes. The hand ends the arm, hangs straight or limp sometimes. It rises and falls with action, can be good for gripping, is associated with touch, although all parts of the body are capable of such feeling. Mostly.
Secondly, make sure your spine rises straight. It will not be a straight straight, but rather a curved straight, a back and forth, rebalancing, undulating and stacked, including spaces, fluid, cartilage, what else? This is where the stability holds. It is strong because it is not linear. You can stand and walk because of the way it waves front and back through the body.
Where it ends is so interesting, although, it also rises up into the throat and ends in the head. It ends in two places; it also begins in two places. It has two beginnings and no ends; it has two ends and no beginnings. Also, vertebrae vary in size depending on their location in the body. The place where the spine meets the legs is very helpful, where it pulls deep into the back of the pelvis. We are so lucky for the pelvis. The pelvis looks a bit like a bird, with its wings, does it not? It is a miracle we can walk at all. The pelvis holds all, it is all, it contains nothing, but circles round the source of life. That is where birth happens. The pelvis—its sensations, its balance, its roundness, its wings. The pelvis, its sensations, its balance, its roundness, its wings.
Not all bodies are the same. Some pelvises are slight and cracked and dry, some may say they hold no pleasure at all. Fish and snake do not have a pelvis, but turtles do. Although the turtle looks to be made of bone, at least from the outside of its darkened stone home from which it is intrinsically connected.
Inside of touch, inside of sensation. We call it three dimensions, we guess at many more. When you rise a hand, feel down a spine, beginning at the pelvis, you may end at the neck, or, you may end at the pelvis. When the neck is touched, it is by the shoulder. You can touch the back of the head—it may trigger the pelvis. Or, you may rock the pelvis, side to side, and shake the head.
What I sense is power in the body. It feels like the lightning crack, it feels like the cumulus gathering force. Some call it life force, prana, chi. The reckless believe it all comes from the stomach, from food, or from some other force that is not mysterious at all. But we know it to come from some other source, a source that gathers inside; it also gathers around. It permeates the body, this force. Because it gathers both inside and out, and through, it seems as though this force recognizes no body, perhaps we are just bodies dropped, formed in a field of force. But where does the time go? The body appears, emerged from the body, but never disappears. It is always created, never destroyed. The force never withers, it never dims. It merely gathers, then moves on, then gathers, then moves on. There is always a storm somewhere.
We are body technology. We sleep and we cry. We share these forms with others, some who have no bodies at all. It is not our bodies that make us special, it is our force. It is the same force from which we dream. When we sleep, we dream. We are paralyzed, we close our eyes, illuminated by the fields of amorphous gods all around. Sometimes we die, other times we metabolize. Always transforming into something else. That is what it is, to have a body. Hands raised, or no hands at all.

The Angel of the Apocalypse lifted his hand toward heaven, saying, "There shall be time no longer." But I never liked trumpet fanfares, did you?
First things to bury underground:
After the world ends, will we still be what we are now: suburban, elemental, inessential?
Who's going to be there:
The Quartet for the End of Time:
A forever friend: vinyl-headed, realistically soft-bodied, safety-tested and hand-washable, eleven inches.
Me, but I worry because sometimes I get so lonely that I want to buy a goldfish, name it after my dad.
Where we'll live:
(The first stupidity is living where it gets cold and stays cold. Why risk it?)
(?) Stalag VIIIA, Görlitz, Germany.
(?) Maybe the island of Tristan da Cunha.
(?) Maybe northern coastal California because the temperature is consistent. It's a good place for agriculture. You're on the coast so you have access to seafood. And I think that's it. It might be a good place to start over again, maybe.
(?) The Blue Ridge Mountains in Tennessee.
Other things to bury underground:
Seriously, can anyone and I mean anyone explain how the Bible is going to save my life?
Our post-apocalyptic objectives:
(1) Be both at the same time: ludicrous, serious.
(2) Be all at the same time: free from want, unclean, possessionless.
(3) Be none of the following: unkind, unsympathetic.
(4): Be all of the following: aggressive, competent, forgiving, pliable.
But enough about me. Tell me about you. Someone said you developed agoraphobia when you started to live seriously, but I suspect you'd make a fine space blanket, even more accommodating than you are now (Don't blush—you deserve it!). But what do I know? I'm compassless and capable of limited first aid (only bandages, antiseptic, Vitamin C). You could do better than me. After the gentlest apocalypse, the world will be full of zombies. Ask yourself, who do you want to be?

They said they wouldn't come for her in the hills. But it wasn't long after she'd immobilized in the lake there before a hoard, peckers out, came splish-splashing in ankle deep; they heard she believed in free love.
She headed to the mountains. But even there, an old woman scolded her about carousing in the bushes and eating from the beehives and stealing from the mountain's healing powers. And no matter how many claws she showed the old woman, she could never convince her the bear was the culprit she was looking for. The bear, old woman, she said, the bear. No, that old woman didn't believe in God.
She climbed higher into the mountains until she found a spot. Dug underground, she laminated her sweated back to the dirt. Eventually, she developed tunnel vision. Eventually, she breathed only twice a minute. But when she was as close to thingness as she'd ever been, she looked, and there it was: the sky.
She hasn't yet succeeded, but she isn't defeated. Could she make a mask to move through space inhabited by the person the mask resembles? Could she eat only scraps fallen from someone else's table? As a last resort, she's heard the air is full of ghosts. She knows now she's not afraid to be a (no)thing. In fact, it's the only dream she's ever had.

Keep Rupert Murdoch From Meddling in National Geographic
National Geographic just announced that it's handing over 73% ownership to Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox — immediately raising questions about the future of climate coverage from one of the most trusted names in science. Executives are already on the defensive, claiming the deal won't change anything. But Murdoch has a troubling history of editorial meddling, and there's no measures in place to assure his denial of climate science won't taint National Geographic's historically excellent coverage.
Other top publications enforce editorial independence by appointing Public Editors who advocate on behalf of the public and investigate complaints of editorial interference. If National Geographic readers call for a Public Editor, we can show the board that its sterling reputation will be tarnished unless its new owners respond with action.

text: This is a section of a larger site which itself contains a lot of written information about Aztec History that would be quite accessible for junior students. However, this particular section, about a popular Aztec sport, is worth highlighting. From this page choose the link at the bottom 'Play a Meso-American Ballgame Winner Take All'. On the next page choose 'Explore the Ballgame', then 'Enter'. Here you have a number of choices. The first two are informative and if students are to successfully complete the interactive options that come later they need to spend some time here learning about the game. The 'Experience the Ball Game' gives two options. The 'fan' choice would be excellent for looking at primary evidence. Here an Aztec object (a pottery piece showing Aztecs at a game) is explored in detail, highlighting what it shows and therefore would be great for looking at how historians get their knowledge about the past. The analysis (narrated for us) was impressive. The other option, 'player', requires players to answer questions about the game to score points for their team. Hence the need for the prior research.

Drone technology could help farmers around the world monitor their crops, fend off pests, improve land tenure, and more. But to realise its full potential, regulatory regimes are necessary, while keeping citizens' safety and privacy rights secure.
Three years ago, the average person had no idea what a drone was – or associated these flying machines with weapons of warfare. Things have changed. Now, unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs (also known as drones) have become one of the world's most publicised and intriguing technologies, used by people in a wide range of professions, from journalism to humanitarian aid work.
Farmers have always needed accurate and up-to-date information on the health of their crops and the environmental condition of the land. Agricultural aircraft have been in use since the 1920s, while agricultural experts increasingly use satellites to assess crop health from the sky. UAVs are a natural progression from macro to micro, from large-scale to small-scale farms.
While UAVs are unlikely to entirely replace manned aircraft or satellites, they have a number of advantages over these more traditional remote-sensing methods. The technology is capable of collecting very high-resolution imagery below the cloud level, with much more detail than the satellite imagery usually available to developing country analysts. They are easy to use: most drone mapping and data-collection missions are now conducted autonomously, meaning that the drone essentially flies itself, while drone data processing tools are becoming less expensive and easier to use.
Perhaps most importantly, drones are inexpensive. In 2016 it is possible to purchase a useful mapping UAV for less than $1,000. And surprisingly powerful mapping drones can be built at home for even less. While processing software can be expensive, open-source and lower cost options exist. Thanks to these low barriers to entry, UAVs are expected to provide significant help to farmers in developing countries, who historically have found it harder to access aerial imagery, either from manned aircraft or from satellites.

Sheet Pan Asian Tofu and Vegetable Stir Fry with a homemade stir fry sauce all made on one sheet pan 20 minutes for a healthy, meatless meal.
Sheet Pan Asian Tofu and Vegetable Stir Fry packed with fres veggies, crispy tofu, and a homemade stir fry sauce for an easy, vegetarian meal that's all cooked on one pan in less than 20 minutes!
I am a girl who loves a good sheet pan meal. Throw everything on one pan, pop some brown rice rice or quinoa on the stove (or in the microwave), and dinner is ready with minimal clean up and mess. However I have struggled to find good vegetarian recipes that are also sheet pan meals and since we are trying to incorporate more meatless meals into our diet, having some simple meals up my sleeve is a must. Today's recipes is one of those.
Now the key to make this recipe really shine is to thoroughly press or dry the tofu first so that it can get nice and crispy in the oven, because let's be honest, no one wants to eat soggy tofu. Now the easiest way to do this is with a tofu press, which is absolutely worth buying if you eat tofu often. If you don't enjoy tofu often, you can also press it with some paper towels and some heavy cans. Just wrap the tofu in a few layers of paper towels and place something heavy on top. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes so the extra water can be pressed out and absorbed by the paper towels. It may sound like a lot or work, but it may a world of difference when it comes to getting crispy tofu.
Once you have your tofu pressed, the rest is easy. Whip up a quick and easy stir fry sauce with soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and Asian garlic chili paste. You can throw in some ginger as well if you like. Toss the tofu and veggies with the sauce and lay everything out on the sheet pan in a single layer. To the oven it goes for 15 minutes and after you have crispy tofu covered in a delicious, caramelized sauce with perfectly cooked veggies. It's seriously good.

As always Megan Fox look super hot, I'm really looking forward to the new Transformers movie. Here is a glimpse of the movie in the latest Transformers 2 – revenge of the fallen trailer.
Megan Fox's bra size has been a much asked question on the internet (I know, I know – it is up there with what is the meaning of life). Well in searching the internet there seems to be conflicting reports as to whether or not Megan Fox's breast size is 34B or 34C. There is some indication that in the past few years she lost some weight (and some of her breast size). So what do you think is she a 34B or a 34C? Here are some pictures to help you decide! Use the poll below the pictures to register your vote!
More news about how Megan Fox likes to sleep with women in the June issue of Esquire magazine (just in time to promote the next transformers movie- imagine that!). Apparently Megan only likes to date lesbians who have not slept with men beccause men are dirty! Megan Fox declares herself bisexual. I'll keep thinking aobut Megan sleeping with women. Here it is in her own words
"I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite. I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man."

NBC called the South Carolina primary for Newt Gingrich as soon as the polls closed at 7 p.m.
Rachel Maddow made the announcement on MSNBC, and turned to Chris Matthews for his reaction. Matthews said Gingrich's victory had just shifted the race farther to the right, and would leave a lasting impression on the election.
He predicted, "The only way for Romney to beat Newt Gingrich now is to catch up to him with his hatred of Obama, his willingness to take on the American establishment." The MSNBC host also speculated that Gingrich's victory would give Obama an opportunity to grab more moderate voters.
Maddow pointed out that there have never been different Republican winners in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Iowa before. While Matthews compared the volatility of the race to past elections, he was firm that Gingrich had just re-defined the rules of the game. "The right has won in South Carolina," he declared.WATCH:

Zalman FG1000 FPS Gun
Simon Telford / 7 years ago
For many years it has been the case that if you were a gamer you would have purchased a specialised gaming mouse, or at least you would own a high-calibre mouse. However now, there are a few alternatives on the market designed specifically to try and change this and today we are going to look at one of those. In fact, we can't call this a mouse, it is an input device for sure and yes it does control the cursor but it's not a mouse.
What's wrong with a mouse? Well, this may sound like a stupid question but in the mice evolution of design, it was created to be used as an input device for all aspects of computing. Unfortunately the mouse wasn't created specifically for gaming. You could argue that there are many mice out there that have been created just for gaming but lets be frank, they've taken a standard mouse design and tweaked it to make it perform better in the gaming category. It's like taking a Ford Fiesta, improving the engine and aerodynamics by adding a spoiler but then trying to call it an F1 car. To be a true gaming device it has to be built as such from the ground up.
Zalman are a Korean company that develop and produce aftermarket desktop computer products with a primary focus on cooling enhancement and like many companies are trying to expand their range into peripherals.

The Bad Beginning (Book One in A Series of Unfortunate Events)
After the sudden death of their parents, the three Baudelaire children must depend on each other and their wits when it turns out that the distant relative who is appointed their guardian is determined to use any means necessary to get their fortune. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky. Imagine tales so terrible that as many as fifty million innocents have been ruined by them-tales so indelibly horrid that the New York Times bestseller list has been unable to rid itself of them for seven years. Now imagine if this scourge suddenly became available in a shameful new edition so sensational, so irresistible, so riddled with lurid new pictures that even a common urchin would wish for it. Who among us would be safe?

Margret was born in Hamburg, Germany, on May 16, 1906. She studied art at the famous Bauhaus School and elsewhere before moving to Brazil in 1935. Margret married a fellow German artist, Hans Augusto (H. A.) Rey, and together they started the first advertising agency in Rio de Janeiro. They came back to Paris during some of its cruelest days, just before the Nazi occupation. Somehow, funny and delightful Curious George was created during those difficult times.
It was her third grade teacher who showed Peggy Rathmann that reading could be fun. She had spent the first two grades squinting at the blackboard, trying to make out the alphabet with her nearsighted eyes. But her third grade teacher used pictures to tell stories, and when Peggy grew up to be a famous illustrator, she made sure that her big, bold pictures were clearly outlined in black ink so the kids in the back of the class could see them clearly.

Textile. Tuesday , June 05th , 2018 - 17:00:32 PM
Textiles are often dyed with fabrics available in almost every colour. The dyeing process often requires several dozen gallons of water for each pound of clothing.19 Coloured designs in textiles can be created by weaving together fibres of different colours (tartan or Uzbek Ikat) adding coloured stitches to finished fabric (embroidery) creating patterns by resist dyeing methods tying off areas of cloth and dyeing the rest (tie-dyeing) or drawing wax designs on cloth and dyeing in between them (batik) or using various printing processes on finished fabric. Woodblock printing still used in India and elsewhere today is the oldest of these dating back to at least 220 CE in China. Textiles are also sometimes bleached making the textile pale or white.
Textiles have an assortment of uses the most common of which are for clothing and for containers such as bags and baskets. In the household they are used in carpeting upholstered furnishings window shades towels coverings for tables beds and other flat surfaces and in art. In the workplace they are used in industrial and scientific processes such as filtering. Miscellaneous uses include flags backpacks tents nets handkerchiefs cleaning rags transportation devices such as balloons kites sails and parachutes; textiles are also used to provide strengthening in composite materials such as fibreglass and industrial geotextiles. Textiles are used in many traditional crafts such as sewing quilting and embroidery.
Felting involves pressing a mat of fibres together and working them together until they become tangled. A liquid such as soapy water is usually added to lubricate the fibres and to open up the microscopic scales on strands of wool.

Unlike other attorneys, we aren't all bark and no bite; we aren't afraid to go to trial for you.
We want to address all of your questions abd ensure you know what you are up against.
We have handled close to 10,000 DUI cases and have an extremely high success rate.
While most people think of alcohol when they hear DUI, these charges don't
always involve intoxication. In some cases, a person can be charged with
DUI for driving while impaired by drugs, including prescription drugs.
This may come as a shock to many people who think that so long as their
drugs are legally prescribed to them, they cannot face any consequences.
Unfortunately, you can be charged with DUI and be up against severe penalties
for getting behind the wheel of a car after taking prescription drugs.
If you have been accused of DUI involving drugs, you cannot afford to try
and fight your charges alone. Experience matters in cases like these,
which is why you need to contact our Fullerton DUI lawyer right away.
The Law Offices of Randall T. Longwith brings dedicated and aggressive
defense to every case we take on.
Give us a call today at (888) 282-4534 to set up a free consultation!
Though intoxication levels have a proven method for testing, measuring
drug impairment is much more subjective and debatable. There is really
no set standard for this, unlike blood-alcohol concentration, which is
set at .08 across all 50 states.
You could be charged with DUI for driving under the influence of:
Marijuana is arguably one of the most common drugs involved in DUI cases.
However, it is also the most difficult to determine accurate impairment
with. Why? The psychoactive component in marijuana, also known as THC,
can be detected in a person's urine or blood for around for to five
weeks after they have used it. There is also no real way to conclusively
tell at what time the marijuana was inhaled or consumed.
Many jurisdictions used Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) who are trained
to spot drug impairment in motorists. While they do have advanced training
in this area, it is not a definitive method, like BAC testing, and is
therefore still very subjective.
If you have been
arrested and charged with DUI due to being impaired by drugs, you need to retain legal counsel immediately.
Call our firm today for your
free consultation!

Republicans keep bragging about being the party of Lincoln. Well Lincoln was the LIBERAL of his time, the Democrats were the Conservatives. Why do you think the south held on to the Democrats until the 70's? The democrats finally got SO liberal the old blue dogs couldn't take it any more.
That's almost as misleading as calling Nazis "Right wingers"
Democrats were and are liberals. Self determination and independence are and have always been Conservative principles. The will to keep people in plantations clearly militate against that.
Lincoln was a classical liberal. He was for lowering the burden of taxes on the working man. "The face that grows the corn should eat the corn." He held, and in his life demonstrated that a man could work for himself for a certain number of years, then hire another to work with him for a certain number of years, then be wealthy enough to start a business. Lincoln handled over 5000 cases in his career. Consider John Edwards, former Democratic candidate for vice president: He handled 26 cases in his entire legal career. Lincoln once handled a case for a railroad, and billed them 20,000$. They refused to pay, and Lincoln took out a lien on the railroad. That would have allowed him to, with the aid of the local sheriff, to seize and sell off any assets of the railroad until the debt was paid.
Taxes on slaves were about 100%, from the point of view of the slave. Slavery endowed every slave owner with the power of the government. Unless the master chose to let the slave keep tips or money the slave earned after completing his daily tasks.
Slavery permitted rape, kidnapping, assault, and theft as a normal process. Further, the slave power enslaved white militia members, both before the war as 'slave patrol' to search for potential runaway slaves, and during the war as conscripts to the slave power, while slave owners were granted deferments.
Some soldiers from Georgia were conscripted, forced to fight for the insurrection, wounded, shipped home, where their state conscripted them again, and then shipped a second time to satisfy the insurrection's endless demands for cannon fodder.

Merry-Go-Round Enterprises will slow its growth and curb its appetite for acquisitions for at least the rest of the year, President Michael D. Sullivan told shareholders at the company's annual meeting yesterday.
The Joppa-based retail clothing chain capped several years of accelerated expansion with the announcement in March that it would purchase the 450-store Chess King chain from Melville Corp. For now, though, the company will concentrate on improving its faltering sales at existing stores, Mr. Sullivan said.
Even if an attractive acquisition deal came along, Merry-Go-Round would pass on it, he said.
"We've got a serious digestion problem," Mr. Sullivan said after the meeting, adding that internal expansion would slow, with the addition of 56 stores in fiscal 1994, down from 76 stores last year.

Don't you just love the lights in the background along with the color of the sky? I think both the background and Jenn's outfit went perfect together
Love this shot of the dock and the colors of the water reflecting the sky
As we were walking back from the dock, I saw this and had to take the last shot :)

Jason Beall's 27 points and defensive play led Glenelg to a 61-53 victory over visiting Centennial yesterday.
The win, combined with Oakland Mills' loss to Atholton, left the Gladiators (12-3, 5-2) with sole possession of first place at the halfway point of the league season.
Glenelg, Centennial (11-4, 4-3) and Oakland Mills (6-9, 4-3) had been tied for first with 4-2 league records.
Beall, who leads the county with a 21.7-point scoring average, was coming off two subpar games in which he scored 13 and 12 points. Nothing was subpar about yesterday's effort.

Nokia hopes new Lumia 520 and 720 smartphones will boost sales
Nokia has expanded its Lumia portfolio with the 520 and 720. The Lumia 520 is the company's cheapest Windows phone to date at US$184, and comes as the company is under pressure to increase sales volumes.
The struggling phone vendor's switch to Windows Phone, announced just over two years ago, hasn't always been easy, CEO Stephen Elop said at the new phones' launch at Mobile World Congress on Monday.
During the fourth quarter last year Nokia sold 4.4 million units. The company's goal is to increase volumes further by bringing some of the technologies from more expensive products to lower-priced phones, according to Elop.
"We are reinventing the battle for affordable smartphones," he said.
For ¬139 before taxes and subsidies, users get an HSPA smartphone running Windows Phone 8 on a dual-core 1GHz processor. It has a 4-inch, 800-by-480 pixel screen and a 5-megapixel camera, which has inherited many of the same camera features available on the high-end Lumia 920.
There is also 8GB of storage, which can be expanded using the microSD card slot. The phone weighs 134 grams and is 9.9 millimeters thick.
The phone will go on sale in Hong Kong and Vietnam in the first quarter, then in the second quarter in Europe, China, India, Latin America and Africa. The Nokia Lumia 520 will also go on sale in the U.S. through T-Mobile.
CCS Insight analyst Ben Wood said sales will still have to grow significantly. The arrival of the Lumia 520 is a critical and logical next step for the evolution of the Lumia family, because Nokia has to drive down the price, he said.
"Nokia has made some progress in mature markets where there is more disposable income available, but to ramp any kind of volume it has to do this. There is urgency, as well, given the phenomenal price erosion we have seen on Android over the last twelve months," he said.
For users that have a bit more money to spend, the 3G Lumia 720 costs ¬249. It is powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor and has a 4.3-inch, 800-by-480 pixel display.
Its camera has a 6.7-megapixel sensor, which Nokia promises can take good pictures in low light conditions. The phone weighs 128 grams and is 9 millimeters thick. It has the same battery as the Lumia 920 and can be charged wirelessly using a snap-on cover. Nokia also announced a wireless charging dock for cars.
Like the Lumia 520, the 720 has 8GB of storage, which can be expanded using the microSD card slot. Both phones also have 512MB of RAM.
The Lumia 720 will go on sale in Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore during the first quarter. During the second it will also go on sale in China, Europe, Asia, Africa and India.

You need to place your requirements in the post a job section.
You will then get interest from trades there, that you can invite to price.
However I am sure you will get some prices here later.
Answered 19th Apr 2011
should cost no more than £150, but post a job on this site and yuo will get a more accurate price from tradespeople in your location,regards, Terry.
Answered 19th Apr 2011
around 250.00 with basic parts (not including basin, taps). also is dependent on so many factors, such as can the waste go straight out the wall? or can the pipe be run through the wall to existing bathroom or floorboards need lifting etc.
always best to have a look first!
Answered 19th Apr 2011
Hi, the cost of this would be dependent on how difficult it is to adapt the pipework for waste, hot and cold suplies to new basin position but I would expect it to be in the region of £200.00 to £300.00 including providing small coakroom basin c/w taps. Hope this helps. Regards.
Answered 20th Apr 2011
Hi the cost is dependent on the pipe runs and if you can get a drop on the waste.

After receiving such a positive response to my first "NASA Alien Anomalies" compilation video, I decided I would do a follow-up effort, presenting a few more of my favorite anomalous audio soundbites, videos, and still images that I have archived during my years of research and investigation into this most monumental of all cover-ups.
Hopefully, you will see some new evidence here in this video that you were not aware of, as I made sure to include a few less-publicized (though in my opinion still highly compelling) images in this presentation.
I also include audio portions of another radio interview with Doctor Edgar Mitchell, Lunar Module Pilot for the Apollo 14 mission and the sixth man to walk on the Moon.
This particular interview is from July of 2008, and as you will hear, Mitchell is VERY candid about the existence of intelligent extra-terrestrial life and of the long-term and on-going effort to conceal this information from the public. In addition to his fame as an Apollo astronaut, here is a brief look at some of Doctor Mitchell's other very impressive credentials.
He is not exactly some "crazy hick farmer talking about swamp gas", now is he?

Good Reading : November 2006
words, growing slower and more dispirited as the vacuous meanings sink in. One 'poem' went like this: White sheep white sheep, On a blue hill, When the wind stops, You all stand still. When the wind blows, You walk away slow; White sheep, white sheep, Where do you go? I blubbed with rage and disappointment when I finally deciphered that one. However – between page 56 and page 63 there is no voice, only a terrified silence, because the Hobyahs inhabit those six pages. Someone who knows tells me that 'Hobyahs' were originally inhabitants of the Ger man forests. They don't feel Ger man to me, despite the lady illustrator, who draws stout-bodied long-nosed creatures in the usual fake medieval fig, with black cloaks and flat, black, backward-pointing hoods. I knew the Hobyahs were lithe, naked, black, and moved terribly fast; and that wherever they might have come from, now they live here, in the grey Australian bush. The Hobyah story goes like this. A Little Old Man and a Little Old Woman lived in a bark hut 'in the middle of the bush'. (This struck me as wrong: how can the bush, with no beginning and no end, have a middle?) So … they lived with the bush all around them, and they had a little dog,Yellow Dog Dingo, for company and protection. They needed the dog because when it was dark the Hobyahs would come: Out of the gloomy gullies came the Hobyahs, creep creep creeping. Through the grey gumtrees came the Hobyahs, run, run, running. Skip, skip, skipping on the ends of their toes came the Hobyahs. The first night the Hobyahs came Yellow Dog Dingo barked and scared them off.The Little Old Man responded with the stupid cruelty customary among nursery-tale males: he cut off the dog's tail. When Yellow Dog Dingo barked the next night he cut off his legs. When on the third night the little wriggling trunk still barked, he cut off its head. So on the next and fourth night the severely truncated dog could not bark and there was nothing to stop the Hobyahs. So they came running lightly through the dark and they pulled down the bark hut, the Little Old Man hid under the bed and the Hobyahs grabbed the Little Old Woman, put her in a sack and made off with her. What did they want with her? Did they want to eat her? To violate her? To violate and then eat her? I never knew. All I knew was that the Hobyahs poked her with their long skinny fingers as she jounced in the sack. Then they settled to sleep because the day was dawning. (Hobyahs sleep during the day. They do their mischief at night.) The Little Old Man, who had remained snugly hiding while the house-pulling-down and the kidnapping and the pokings were going on, repent- ed his earlier actions and reassembled the little dog, having frugally kept the bits. The reconstituted Yellow Dog Dingo tracked the Hobyahs to their lair, chewed a hole in the sack, and let the Little Old Woman out. She (like an idiot) ran straight back to the Little Old Man and the reassembled bark hut while Yellow Dog Dingo hid himself in the sack, and when the Hobyahs woke up and started poking him, thinking he was the Little Old Woman, he jumped out and ate them all up. Then like an idiot he ran back to the Little Old Man who had recently dismembered him. That's what it says in the book. But I didn't believe it then and I don't believe it now. There were too many Hobyahs. How could one little dog possibly eat them all up? At best he might have bitten two or three, and then made a run for it. So they must be still out there, in the bush. Among the grey gum trees. In the gloomy gullies. I don't know where they came from but I think they've lived here for a very long time. They have dogs, but their dogs don't bark, and they don't need bark huts because they don't feel the cold and they're not afraid of the bush or of the dark. They can run through the bush in the dark if they want to. And in the night they come creeping, come running, come skipping on their long swift feet to get the people fool enough to live in bark huts deep in the bush. You don't believe me? Try whispering 'Hobyahs!' to anyone over forty when you're deep in the bush, when the dusk comes creeping up from the gullies between the tall grey gums. Then watch them run. Inga Clendinnen is a distinguished historian and multi-award-winning writer. Agamemnon's Kiss is a selection of 19 articles and essays published in various newspapers and magazines over the past ten years. Hobyahs! was first published in the Age newspaper, Melbourne, in 2003. Agamemnon's Kiss is published by Text, rrp $32.95. They must still be out there, in the bush. Among the grey gum trees. In the gloomy gullies. They can run through the bush in the dark if they want to. And in the night they come creeping, come running, come skipping ... NOVEMBER 2006 ı goodreading 51

Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix – Race – Sunday
Weather: sunny and dry, 26-27°C air, 39-45°C track
The Sauber F1 Team finished the Japanese Grand Prix at the Suzuka Circuit in P15 (Pascal Wehrlein). Marcus Ericsson did not finish the race, as his car was damaged after hitting the barriers on lap eight. The team is now travelling back to Switzerland to prepare for the next back-to-back race weekends in the United States and Mexico.
Marcus Ericsson (car number 9):
Sauber C36-Ferrari (Chassis 02/Ferrari)
Result: DNF. Start on soft tyres
"A disappointing outcome to the race for me at Suzuka. The beginning of the race was looking quite good, as I was able to gain some positions shortly after the start. Unfortunately, I went off the track at turn nine and hit the barriers. I am now shifting my focus to the next race at Austin, and look forward to getting back in the car soon."
Pascal Wehrlein (car number 94):
Sauber C36-Ferrari (Chassis 04/Ferrari)
Result: 15th. Start on soft tyres, after 2 laps change to supersoft tyres, after 3 and 25 laps change to soft tyres

We are now looking at our data and trying to find the causes. Overall, a disappointing race for me here at Suzuka."
Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal:
"It was a tough race for us. Marcus had a decent pace at the beginning, but he then went wide in turn eight and hit the wall in turn nine. As for Pascal, there seemed to be contact with another car on the first lap, so we need to further analyse to what extent his car was damaged. Now we have to focus on the upcoming races in the Americas."
