After a fourth consecutive night of protests–this time marred by destruction of city property, including a speed limit sign–organizers in Berkeley were enthusiastic. The crowds remain large; the media remain interested; and the Berkeley City Council has been forced to respond, albeit by canceling its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday evening. Yet the question persists: what is the goal of the protests, and how is it to be achieved?
Organizers seem to have two pithy answers to those questions: "justice for Michael Brown/Eric Garner," and "by any means necessary," respectively. Yet what does "justice" mean? Do the Berkeley authorities have any ability to order, in violation of the U.S. Constitution's rule against "double jeopardy," new prosecutions of police officers whom grand juries in Missouri and New York declined to indict after seeing all of the evidence?

Furthermore, if "justice" is to be achieved "by any means necessary," why start with violence and disruption? Why attack small businesses that may be struggling to make payroll? Why block highways and create traffic jams that strand people on the way to the hospital or heading home from work? Why use obscene language that alienates potential supporters–especially after the Garner decision, which was also criticized by conservatives?

Increasingly, it seems that the Berkeley protests exist for their own sake alone. They persist largely to satisfy the narcissistic rage of the demonstrators, many of whom are delighted by their ability to cause chaos but think little of the political results of their actions.
When even those sympathetic to the cause, such as the left-wing mayor of Berkeley, say the protests have gone too far, it is clear the activists have wasted an opportunity.

First, it's gay marriage… and then…
Well, the slippery slope is getting slicker.
Woman marries "boyfriend" … ack.
While she still kept open the option of "marrying human" at some stage, she said for now she was strictly a "one-dolphin woman".
I don't even want to know what they're gonna be doing on their honeymoon.

Looks like Auckland survived Cyclone Lusi without too much damage; well maybe no damage and it was a bit of a lemon. but I am always happy when the weather doesn't affect church.
On Sunday morning in the East Pastor Bob Lawson is speaking. This is a year for Christians to be inspired by the story of Christianity in NZ since Samuel Marsden preached the first sermon here 200 years ago on Christmas Day 1814 and Bob will share on this. I know that the history is not all good on the part of the early settlers and missionaries but we are focusing on the Gospel and the positive impact on our nation for righteousness.
Marilyn and I are looking forward to being in the City in the morning and then I am speaking in the East that night. Saturday will be a day out on the harbour in Derek Batts' beautiful boat MV Charis. It was planned for last Saturday but Lusi spoilt the party. It's a tough life but someone has to do it.

Auto Dealers often fling out mail campaigns via letters, postcards or former self-mailing advertisements to their customer base pushing their offers on service, discounts on cars or even on their products. Many dealerships try to successful this on their own within their store. Some dealerships have discovered that it can become extremely tiresome, it can afsluiting a lot of work, and sometimes they may not get the numbers in return they were looking for; hence this is the reason why most Auto providers prefer outsourcing the employment to the very professionals who're trained in creating custom tailored direct mail campaigns.

They should be able to highlight the subtle, as well as capacious points from your business that will ultimately produce more business for you.

If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.
Summer Born Children.
The Government's School Admission Code now allows pupils born in the summer term to start school in the term after their 5th birthday. Please see the guidance from Northamptonshire County Council on this and discuss this with the schools of your choice prior to making this decision and application so that you can make an informed choice.
NCC make clear that it is still usual and their aim for all pupils to start school in the correct year and that evidence from a professional must be provided as to why this should not be the case. Many parents of summer born children worry that their child is too young to start school, but schools are used to this and will plan their curriculum based on pupils learning at different speeds, as in every other class in school. Foundation Stage classrooms are set up for children to learn by purposeful and well designed play activities. Parents are usually reassured after speaking to the school.

Scars on the Face
6-7 months before my face started getting swollen,red and some liquid coming out I showed to a doctor she told me I am having ezcema . The medicines she gave helped in reducing my face problems for sometime then whenever she gave some other medicine to use the same problems started again. She said I cant use the medicines for long because they were steroids and I will become dependent on them.this thing kept on repeating for 6-7 months. Finally one day I went to her and she told me to stop using all creams and medicines and gave her reports of Comprehensive allergy profile test after which I will decide what to do.I stopped using medicines and my facial allergy started to reduce on its own but still I went through the test.The report showed I had allergy from house,cotton dust.When I met her again she saw the reports and said since face is now alright I will not give anycream otherwise it may start again.Now there are just black scars and face became dull what should I do.

When your skin has recovered from any problem it becomes dark. It is known as post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). That is a mechanism by which your skin heals. In Indians and dark skinned people in general, it is a troublesome problem. PIH usually fades on its own in 6 months. There are many creams available to treat pigmentation, but given your history of allergies it may cause problems. If you plan to use some products available in cosmetic shops make sure you apply the cream only on a small area for a week and make sure you don't develop a reaction. A high SPF sunscreen will also help to reduce the PIH. I suggest you ask your dermatologist to give you some creams to lighten the mark. She will be able to suggest something that suits your skin since she knows well about your history of the eczema on the face. Warm regards. Dr. Rajdeep Mysore. Chirag Hospital Bangalore

I'm hoping to get back in to the blogging habit, to document this joyous time in my life, and have this archived for posterity! So... let's do it.
When are you due? I'm due on April 3rd – Good Friday! – and I think that's a wonderful time of year. I've always been eager for Winter to end, and this year I think the anticipation will be especially high!
How are you feeling? I'm feeling great… now! J I'm 16 weeks pregnant, which means that I'm past the point in pregnancy where most of the morning sickness symptoms show their face. Luckily for me, I'm someone who seems to have gotten the "lucky" kind – the kind that ends right around the end of the first trimester. Weeks 6-12 were especially difficult – I was sick a lot. My morning sickness was certainly there first thing in the morning, to the point where I kept a packet of saltines on my bedside table, and would eat two of them before I stepped out of bed. Interestingly, motion seemed to really heighten it (so my twice-daily train commutes were difficult at times). The strangest thing was that baby made me especially sick at night after dinner… there were numerous times (especially during weeks 6-12) that I'd eat dinner only to get sick. And then it's like… what do you do? Do you eat another dinner cause ya just lost your whole dinner? The act of brushing my teeth and flossing were also especially hated by Baby Special J It got to the point that I would actually break the process up in to three parts – brush my teeth first, then wait a little bit. Then floss just my top teeth, then wait a bit. And finally floss my bottom teeth. It was kind of insane. As sick as I was throughout my first trimester, I felt – and feel! – so incredibly fortunate to be pregnant, that it was an easy price to pay. (And in some way, being sick brought me comfort in the four weeks between my 4, 8, 12 and 16 week doctors appointments.
Any other pregnancy symptoms? I've been really, really tired. I haven't been a night-owl since college, but I could probably go to bed every night at 8pm if I let myself (and sometimes I do J). If Scott and I try to watch a show (Homeland's back!) I undoubtedly fall asleep in five minutes flat. I'm basically Newton's law of motion – if I stay moving I'm ok, but when I stop… game over. I've also had a really strong sense of smell – in very early pregnancy, my mom bought a cake to celebrate an occasion and I could smell the frosting on it a mile away. It's very strange (but I kinda like it).
Have you felt the baby move/kick? Not yet and I'm dying for it! I've been told this happens to first time moms later than subsequent pregnancies (we don't know what we're feeling!) so I've been trying to pay closer attention to belly flutters… but it's still so hard to differentiate between digestion, or nervous energy, or the baby. Soon I hope! I've read that it should happen soon – and I'm eagerly awaiting!
Are you showing? I'm not really, yet. My husband and mom can both detect a little baby bump, but I haven't really "popped" yet. I'm still in non-maternity clothes for the most part – although I did buy a pair of maternity jeans, and a few tops recently J My pre-pregnancy jeans still button, although with increasing difficulty. A friend shared that she literally "popped" overnight – she could wear her jeans one day and the next she could not! Apparently most first time mothers begin to show between 14-20 weeks, so I'm probably on the cusp. Right now it just looks like I had a big lunch – not pregnant, but just a little rounder. It probably doesn't hurt that I'm a few pounds below where I began my pregnancy – a combination of being so sick, having zero sweet tooth and eating more intentionally has led to be dropping a few pounds. Not intentionally, really, just kinda did.
Are you finding out the baby's gender? We are NOT! :) I've always known that I wanted it to be a birth-day surprise, and fortunately my husband agreed to go along with it. We (obviously) have no other children, and we don't really need to know for planning reasons. She or he is going to rock our world, and whether they do it wearing pink or blue is of little importance to us.

I know everyone would prefer to discuss basketball, but at some point, the Warriors� constant berating of officials is too much to overlook. Frankly, I think Golden State crossed that line a few weeks ago.
The Warriors have always been one of the yappiest teams in the NBA — they have Draymond Green, after all — but this season has taken the complaining to new heights.
Watch the Monday night game against New Orleans again — how many times did a Warrior turn to a ref and outright yell at them that they needed to make a call? That�s commonplace for the Dubs this year.
It�s an epidemic, and while it would be naive to say that it needs to stop — it�s really hard to remain stoic after you�re fouled and you don�t hear a whistle — it is starting to become a problem for Golden State. If the issue isn�t curtailed, it�s going to become an even larger one in the weeks and months to come.
The Warriors have averaged an ejection per game over the last three games and none of the ejections seemed unwarranted — they�re byproducts of bad relationships with refereeing crews.
This is a two-sided deal, after all: While the Warriors might love to complain, I have no doubt that the officials are standing up for themselves after a few years of increasing �abuse� — we�re seeing fast technicals and quick ejections all around the league.
That�s a league-wide problem, but the Warriors are making themselves easy targets for the referees.
It seems to me that the Warriors are well on their way to earning themselves a negative reputation — the kind that makes it a lot tougher to actually get calls. (That�s if they haven�t already arrived at the destination.) The regular season doesn�t matter, but you don�t want to go into the postseason known as the most negatively demonstrative team in the league.
Add in the persistent chippiness they face on a nightly basis from teams looking to beat them to improve their own status, and you have a bad situation that makes it tougher to win basketball games.
Why do the Warriors need to complain so often? I know Green can hardly help himself — that�s one the things that makes him great — but Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry seem particularly indignant this season. It�s a bad look, and its beneath them.
They�re not alone, though — it seems like we can�t go more than one timeout without a Warrior berating an official over a perceived �missed call�
Warriors coach Steve Kerr says it�s a lack of composure. Who could possibly disagree with that assessment?
�We're not composed out there. We're a championship team," Kerr told reporters Monday in New Orleans. "We have to be poised and we have to execute out there. We're getting way too emotional, myself included. I have to do a better job of that, too. But you got to show some poise when things aren't going our way. Stop worrying about everything else and worry about the game."
Why is this happening? Well, the Warriors are sleepwalking through large portions of games — the first half of Monday night�s game, for instance — and that could be a contributing factor to the �lack of composure� when it comes to the referees. When you�re not focused on the task at hand, the mind has time to wander and find people to blame for unfavorable situations.
Either way, it�s unbecoming of the best team in the NBA to act so victimized at all times.
Are the Warriors not getting calls they deserve? Absolutely.
Get in line with the 29 other NBA teams that feel that way.
At some point, you just have to play the game. I know this game is oftentimes easy for the Warriors, but they should probably get back to it.

In late March, Miami Hurricanes linebacker Jermaine Grace was asked how his studies were going.
"Studies on what, football?" Grace asked in earnest.
No, academics.
"Oh, academics," Grace said, explaining why he was suspended during a spring day that likely raised his visibly peeved coach Al Golden's blood pressure.
"That was about a paper I had to finish," Grace said.
Fast forward four-and-a-half months. Did he learn anything from that episode?
"Yes, Ma'am," Grace answered this week. "I learned I have to be on top of my game with schoolwork, too. I'm good with that. I'm good with everything."
Great might be more like it.
Grace, a fleet-footed junior who graduated from Miramar High and is majoring in sports management and business, will return this season as the starting weak-side linebacker — last season's second-leading tackler behind NFL-bound Butkus Award finalist Denzel Perryman.
And he still hasn't started a game.
Raphael Kirby moved into the starting weak-side linebacker spot in 2014 when Perryman, then a senior, moved to the middle. And now as team captain, Kirby, Grace's mentor, moves into the middle, Grace is primed to have what could be a breakout season.
Darrion Owens, a 6-3, 238-pound sophomore, is the projected starter on the strong side.
"Jermaine Grace's disruption per snap is as high as anybody's on our team," defensive coordinator Mark D'Onofrio said. "And that will increase. He's a tremendously talented playmaker.
"Every player's value is not measure by statistics, but his are ones that show up."
In 2014, Grace played in all 13 games, amassing 60 tackles behind Perryman's 110. He had 6 1/2 tackles for loss, two quarterback hurries, two fumble recoveries and three sacks — including one of Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston's during UM's loss to Florida State.
Grace said his well-documented 40-yard speed — he said he was timed in 4.36 seconds in May but 4.45 most recently — helps him "do things other linebackers can't — cover slot receivers, chase down running backs, chase down the quarterback, blitz and get around offensive linemen that can't touch me."
His quarterback, Brad Kaaya, expects Grace's talent to ultimately help him get back the ball.
"He's just really fast, no doubt," Kaaya said. "Jermaine goes sideline to sideline, hash to hash. If a ball gets thrown on the opposite side of the field, he's chasing it down like a lion after a gazelle. He doesn't take plays off."
After the spring game, Grace, who said he played between 202-205 pounds last season on his 6-1 frame, cited 220 as his goal weight.
"I see them big guys coming at me, and I'm kind of like, 'Damn! Do I want to? Once I get to 220 it will be automatic, no hesitation."
Grace is up to 215 and said that playing against first-team running back Gus Edwards, 6-2 and 238, has helped him get used to the pounding.
"I'm hydrating and keep drinking muscle milk," Grace said Saturday after the Canes' third day of fall camp.
Golden gushed about Grace's commitment to the cerebral part of the game, indicating that his film study and practice prep have been impressive.
"He's really made a commitment to that side of the game," Golden said, "the smarter and more disciplined side. He was better conditioned already. He was tough. I'm really proud of him. He's a great young man.''
Grace seemed moved by his coach's comments.
"I'm happy he sees that in me," Grace said. "I've been in my playbook, helping the younger guys, telling them the right way to do things. Last year I did a great job, and this year I'm going to do an even better job to lead the young guys to take my spot when I leave."
▪ The Hurricanes added shoulder pads to their uniforms Saturday, enabling them to broaden their practice scope.
"You add more of the run game because you're safer and equipped for it,'' Golden said, "and with that goes the play-action game, play-action pocket pass and the naked game — the move-the-pocket stuff. Not a lot of [mental errors]. We just have to keep refining what we're teaching, and then, obviously, our execution."
▪ Safeties Ryan Mayes (hamstring) and Jaquan Johnson (bone bruise/tendinitis) are close to returning to practice.

Heart Transplant
A heart transplant may be necessary to save the life of a patient whose heart is no longer functioning properly because of chronic cardiovascular disease or viral infection. During a cardiac transplant, a surgeon will remove a patient's damaged or diseased heart, and replace it with a healthier heart from a suitable donor.
- Over 70 percent of our patients receive a heart transplant within one year of placement on the waiting list, with over 28 percent receiving their transplant within 30 days, based on the latest Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) data released in January 2018. This makes our time to transplant one of the shortest in the nation, and the shortest in Florida.
- Our one-year heart transplant patient survival rate of 95.28 percent is greater than the national average (91.35 percent), and our three-year survival rate of 86.54 percent also is greater than the national average of 84.97 percent, according to the latest SRTR data. Our longest-surviving heart transplant recipient has had their new heart for over three decades.
- Our heart transplant program has a team of highly respected transplant surgeons.
- In 1985, TGH became the first hospital in Florida to successfully perform a life-saving heart transplant. Our transplant program serves, on average, 52 patients each year since 2001, making us the most robust cardiac transplant program in the entire state of Florida and one of the busiest programs in the nation.
TGH is also a recognized leader in the implantation of mechanical circulatory support (MCS), or ventricular assist devices (VADs), as a bridge to transplant, bridge to recovery, and destination therapy. MCS is an option that may be suitable for patients who are not qualified to undergo or cannot sustain a full cardiac transplant. We offer a wide selection of VADs, including Heart Mate II, Impella, Heartware, and Centrimag. Whether patients require a cardiac transplant or can benefit from an MCS implant, our expert team will help each patient find the treatment option that's most appropriate for their specific situation.

Housie Rail Trail is a 7.4 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Housatonic, Massachusetts that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

Beautiful trail with gentle climb to West Stockbridge. Watch for bears if you continue north to quarry. Marked private on parts but not enforced. Owners friendly.
Lovely walk, and I too parked in the cemetery. Great Tip...thanks.
Great biking and hiking trail with beautiful vegetation and surroundings. Even an old abandoned car like Into the Wild.
Nice and easy trail for all. Good out and back.
If you follow the directions from Google Maps, you will get to the trail, but no place to park. Found out that if go down Oak St from Main, you will find Saint Bridget's Cemetery on the right. Enter and go all the way to the back of the cemetery. You can park there and trail is only feet away. From there, head North as the trail ends shortly to the south. Enjoy.

LG.Philips posts loss, reduces spending
Keywords:loss? LG.Philips? TFT LCD? Ron Wirahadiraksa? Sean Shim?
LG.Philips LCD posted its largest-ever quarterly loss in sales for Q2 of this year, forcing the world's leading TFT LCD manufacturer to make a major reduction in capital expenditures for the year.
Unaudited results on Tuesday (July 11) showed that sales for the quarter ended June 30 were $2,441 million, a 0.3 percent rise over $2,433 million for the corresponding period of 2005.
However, the result represents a 6 percent decline over $2,605 million in the first quarter of 2006.
LG.Philips blamed an industry-wide decline in average selling prices across the TV, monitor and notebook segments, as well as overcapacity, for the lackluster performance during the quarter.
The performance was expected as the company issued a downbeat updated second quarter 2006 forecast last month, when it said it would reduce production to address inventory concerns and that it was looking "to better balance short term supply with demand." It said in June capacity plans are being reviewed for the year, and beyond.
Operating loss in the second quarter was $392 million compared to an operating profit of $31 million in the second quarter of 2005 and a profit of $55 million in the first quarter of 2006.
TFT-LCD panels for TVs, desktop monitors, notebook computers and other applications accounted for 48 percent, 26 percent, 21 percent and 5 percent respectively, on a revenue basis, in the second quarter of 2006, compared to 45 percent, 30 percent, 20percent and 5 percent in the first quarter of 2006.
The company shipped 1.5 million square meters of display area in the quarter, a 17 percent increase sequentially, with an average selling price per square meter of $1,598. This represents an approximate 19 percent drop in the average selling price over that of the end of the first quarter of 2006.
"We are disappointed with our financial performance in the second quarter of 2006. As we announced in June, we are addressing an increase in inventory levels during a period of overcapacity, primarily in the LCD TV segment, by temporizing production. We will continue to control inventory levels going forward," said Ron Wirahadiraksa, president and CFO of LG.Philips LCD.
Wirahadiraksa added the company is "confident" that its business results and prospects will improve over the course of 2006, but said: "We have made a decision to postpone investment in existing fabs and, as a result, have revised our capital expenditure guidance downward from $4.45 billion to $3.18 billion for 2006."
The company said it currently has a four-week's worth of LCD panels in inventory.
As a result, the company said it would readjust the timing and size of its investment in its Gen 8 (P8) LCD facility under construction in Paju. Instead, it will invest $583.71 million in a multi-purpose Gen 5.5 facility which will be housed in the P8 facility.
LG.Philips aims to begin volume production in the new Gen 5.5 facility during the second half of 2007 focusing on LCD panels for wide format notebooks and high-end monitors, the company said.
Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2006 were $1,044 million, down from $1,022 million in the second quarter of 2005, and were mainly used for the P7 facility.
Wirahadiraksa said the company expects to see LCD panel prices begin to stabilize and anticipates sustained growth in consumer demand for LCD TVs in the second half of 2006, particularly in the fourth quarter.
"For the third quarter of 2006, we expect our area shipments to increase quarter-on-quarter by a mid-to-high twenties percentage, driven by continued growth in the expanding LCD TV segment, continued ramp up at our P7 facility and the stabilization of pricing," he said.
He also forecast the ASP per square meter of net display area shipped at the end of the third quarter to be relatively flat, as compared to the end of the second quarter, largely due to increased seasonal demand leading into the holiday season. But he expected the average ASP per square meter throughout the third quarter to decrease by a mid-single digit percentage.

Planning a trip to China? Maybe you should consider visiting Shanghai!
It may probably be the most exciting city in China, and perhaps it is! With an array of modernity and history, and over 23 million people from all around the world, the city boasts diversity and glamour.
Follow Airline Websites/Pages for Promos, and Book in Advance – because who doesn't wanna save ka-ching? You may also want to use Skyscanner app.
Where to stay – There are a number of places to stay from hostels to fancy hotels.
For Hostels; visit hostelworld.com
For Apartments/Rooms for Rent; you may want to check out airbnb.com. We found an apartment in Gubei near Shuicheng Subway Station thru this site.
For Hotels; check out tripadvisory.com.ph
Learn Basic Mandarin Chinese – like "Please" "Thank you" "Excuse me" "Waiter!" "How much is this?" to name a few; or you can download Chinese-English translator/dictionary apps on your phone. Some of the Shanghainese can't speak English at all, which is weird since the city is full of foreigners, so it's better to learn Mandarin or go with a Mandarin speaking friend.
Know How to Get Around – The first thing my brother did when we arrived was to acquire a Travel Guide brochure which can be acquired from information stands around the airport ( for free). The guide includes famous food spots, things-to-do's, tourist spots to visit in the city, and a map of the subway. This proved to be VERY useful for the whole trip.
If you prefer to take the subway when touring around, like I do, you may want to buy a Shanghai Public Transportation Card (SPTC) or Shanghai Jiaotong Ka which is a rechargeable cash card that can be used for various public transportation services like Buses, Metros, Taxis, Ferries, etc. You can purchase one from a subway information window for 100RMB initial load and a 20 RMB refundable deposit. Or you can buy a single journey card from subway automated tellers, which is also available in English.
Internet – There's FREE internet anywhere you go. You just need one thing: a phone number. It will serve as your username and the password will be texted to you. You can buy your sim card at the airport (They offer a 3G Only sim) which is a lot more expensive than when you buy from telecom stores. They will require your passport upon purchase but don't worry about it. I don't think sim cards are available in convenience stores.
VPN Services – China has banned foreign apps and sites including Google, and other social apps like FB and Twitter. So if you need to access these, you will need VPN. It acts like a proxy server for your smartphone, it basically lets you visit blocked sites by pretending to be accessing from another country.
Powerbank – You wouldn't want your gadget dying on you. Internet access = Survival
1. The French Concession Stroll
The French Concession (Concession française de Changhaï; 上海法租界; Shànghǎi Fǎ Zūjiè) is the area of Shanghai that was established for the French government to administer from 1849 until 1946. It has been a fashionable area for well over a century and is now very developed. The tree-lined streets and old houses in the area gives it the name "Paris of the East". You could pretty much get off at any stop in the area and just stroll around the shops, restaurants, and others. What my Korean friend (Who was a flatmate during our stay) and I did was get off at Xintiandi (South Huangpi Station) at the east and strolled randomly towards Tianzifang (Dapuqiao Station) at the south. Use any Map apps, or stroll randomly then ask locals or fellow foreigners for directions. I tell you, you'll spot them in a second.
Tianzifang (田子坊) – is an artsy residential area of shikumen housing that has been redeveloped. What I love about this place is that I could get lost in its maze of small alleyways for hours, that I regretted saving this stroll for our last day in Shanghai! It could be touristy and crowded but you'll have a fun time. It is newer than Xintiandi and emphasizes arts, crafts, and boutique shopping. It also houses bars, cafes, design studios, and galleries. This place is easily one of my favorite places in Shanghai.
How to get there: Take Metro Line 9 and get off at Dapuqiao and exit from Exit 1. Walk across the street.
Xintiandi (新天地) – is a busy upscale part of shanghai that stresses more on branded goods and entertainment. It's a pedestrian-only area of shops and restaurants, and is also famous for its nightlife when the Western style bars open their doors for business.
How to get there: Take Metro Line 10 and get off at Xintiandi Station and walk north. Or you can take Metro Line 1 to South Huangpi Station and walk South with roughly the same distance.
Wasn't able to take pictures because it was pretty dull at 9AM.
Jade Garden (蘇浙匯; Jardin de Jade) in Hong Kong Plaza. We came back another night for dinner with my brother's ring designer.
You can visit this site for a detailed French Concession Walk Tour guide. The truth is we attempted to follow the guide but for a number of reasons (eg. time constraint, wanting to explore without following anything because where's the fun in that) just settled on walking randomly from Xintiandi to Tianzifang. I recommend doing it the other way around since Xintiandi is more alive at night, while Tianzifang is already as alive as it is during the night.
Here are some of the places that we (kinda) randomly came across on the way to Tianzifang:
Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China – Free Entrance
Mao zedong et al.
Fuxing Park (Photos Not Available)
The Former Residence of Sun Yat Sen – I think the entrance fee was 20RMB. Didn't want to pay.
The Former Residence of Zhou En Lai (Photos Not Available)
2. Yuyuan (Yu Garden; 豫園) & Cheng Huang Miao (City God Temple)
Cheng Huang Miao is the area surrounding Yuyuan (or Yu Garden). Yuyuan is a touristy, hustling and bustling area full of shops with handmade crafts and folk artwork that are unique to China. People usually go here to buy pasalubong. Also DO NOT MISS the famous xiaolongbao (Steamed soup dumpling) near the pond! The queue could be long but if you're lucky you might be able to get your share in 10 minutes. Towards the middle of the area, the garden is a well preserved beauty considering you're in the middle of the city. The entrance fee to the garden itself is 40RMB.
How to get there: Take Metro Line 10 and get off at Yuyuan Station and exit from Exit 1. Walk via the service road until you see shops then turn to your right.
You'll see this as you turn right from the service road. Walk a little further.
You should see this! Welcome to Yuyuan!
The pond with giant kois. This is equidistant from the xiaolongbao restaurant and the entrance to the garden.Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant. Look at the queue!
Xiaolongbao!! DEAR JESUS. 22RMB for 16 pcs.
Inside one of the souvenir stores pretending to be a buyer.
Such awesome. Very toy store. Better than the ones I saw in HK!
Inside the garden. Time to find your inner zen.
*Also, find the kinda-hidden wall-size mirror! Why? Nothing really. Just for the sake of it!
3. Shanghai Comics & Animation Museum
You enter to see animation's history on the ground floor which is interspersed with life-size figurines, short film clips and a hall of movie posters. The second floor is supposedly kid friendly. It's a cool place but sadly it was awfully empty. Might be due to the rain or it being a weekday. Entrance fee is 30RMB.
Transportation: We took the cab from the Line 2 Jinke Station because it's far.
4. Shanghai Circus World
Miss it and You miss Shanghai! There are two most famous and popular programs which have regular performances here. They are 'ERA Intersection of Time' and 'Happy Circus'. We were able to watch ERA. The 100-minute performance shows not only creativity but personality. It wasn't as impressive as I was expecting but I liked the gymnastics parts and it was awesome nonetheless. We contacted a ticket officer here and got Zone B seat tickets for only 180RMB each. I don't know how we got the the tickets for almost half the price.
How to get here: Take Metro Line 1 and get off at Shanghai Circus World Station, exit from Exit 3. Walk across the street.
For some odd reasons, we didn't get a physical ticket. We were told to take a picture of the ticket so I took a picture including the Tourist Wingman's face just to be sure. I thought he was a ticket officer and now I don't know what to call him.
Look at the crowd! Look at that 7 Girls 1 Bicycle stunt (I named it ha ha). And come on, flipping a person up high to make a 5-human shoulder-stand. Tell me that's not impressive! That is why you've got to see it!
5. Shanghai Natural History Museum
The museum was moved to Jing'an Sculpture Park in April 2015.
The museum has a collection of 240,000 samples, including over 62,000 pieces of animal specimens, 135,000 plant specimens, 700 specimens of the Stone Age, and 1,700 specimens of minerals. There are also rare species which cannot be found elsewhere outside China, such as a Yellow River mammoth, a giant salamander, a giant panda, and a Yangtze Alligator. (Wikipedia)
The largest exhibit is a 140-million-year-old dinosaur skeleton of Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis from Sichuan Province, which is over four stories high. The museum also has two mummies and several human embryos. (Wikipedia)
I was so overwhelmed when we entered the museum that my phone battery drained from full to less than 20% by the time we left. It's truly modern and comprehensive; housing skeletons, to models, to fossils of animals and plants and other creatures from various era of evolution! The exhibit starts on the second floor, and basically winds down to Basement 2 where they exhibit geological specimens, present-day macrospecimens and microspecimens. Took a picture of anything and everything because THIS IS THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH! It's really magnificent. The entrance fee's just 30RMB. I'd go back any day making this my #1 Must-Go in Shanghai!
How to get there: We took a cab from the old one because I actually thought we were headed to the new one already, but the nearest subway station is Nanjing West Station. It's probably a 15 minutes walk, or you may take a cab from there.
6. Shanghai Ocean Aquarium
Shanghai Ocean Aquarium is the largest ocean aquarium in Asia that includes a 120m tunnel that takes visitors to life in the Ocean! It is designed to provide the insight in almost all sea species that can be found in Asia. It is divided into eight major exhibition area: Biological, Sub-Asia, Amazon, Australia, Africa, Cold Water, Polar sea and Ocean Depths area. The entrance fee is 160RMB for adults.
How to get here: Take Subway Line 2 to Lujiazui Station, exit at Exit 2 and walk towards the Pearl Tower. The Ocean Aquarium is directly adjacent to it.
7. The Bund (外滩)
The Bund actually refers to the waterfront area in central Shanghai with dozens of historical buildings lining the Huangpu River. The experience highly depends on the time and weather when you visit the promenade. I've been to either side on a sunny day, rainy day, cloudy day, and at night; unintentionally! And I'm telling you, the best time to take the walk is at night BEFORE 8AM facing the Pudong or the pearl tower side because the Shanghai Tower (Tallest in Asia and 2nd tallest in the world) turns off their lights early AND you'd want to check out East Nanjing Pedestrian Street shortly after.
We actually walked from People's Square to The Bund facing the Pudong Side. We got lost and we were tired but it was enjoying! We had a yakiniku dinner somewhere, walked further and stopped again for some milk tea since we've read about this milk tea that's supposed to be the best in Shanghai.
I'm in love with the CoCo
We reached The Bund at around 8:30PM and I fell in love with the scene; the windy after-rain weather with fading clouds was L-O-V-E. I didn't mind the crazy crowd like I usually do, it was noisy but at the same time very relaxing. I enjoyed the wind, the people, the sight. It was my kind of city night! And what else? It's totally free! We left for the metro East Nanjing Station at around 9:45PM which closes at 10:30PM.
You may also take the ferry across the river to the other side of The Bund.
How to get here:
Facing Pudong side (The side with the Pearl Tower): Take Metro Line 2/10 and get off at East Nanjing Station. Head East.
Facing Puxi side: Take Metro Line 2 and get off at Lujiazui Station. Head west.
*Dong (东) means East and Xi (西) means West; Hence, Pudong means East of Huang-PU river and Puxi means West of Huang-PU river. Just so you know!
The Bund facing Puxi (from the side of the pearl tower) on a sunny day! We had lunch at Paulaner Bräuhaus.
The Night Scene
(Maybe I'll clear this out the next time I'm in Shanghai)
Go up the Pearl Tower / Shanghai Tower / Shanghai World Financial Center
Science and Technology Museum & Subway Station Underground Market
Zhujiajiao (Other ancient towns)
Visit neighboring cities: Hangzhou & Suzhou
Party. It's Shanghai!

Kathy Griffin Says Ex-Husband Stole From Her
I like this lady's comedy but she does seem to be constantly dealing with a lot of drama. I wonder if she is not passing for white because sometimes she sure does act like a home girl.
The Associated Press
Tuesday, July 11, 2006; 1:07 PM
NEW YORK—Kathy Griffin says her 4 1/2-year marriage ended in divorce after she discovered her now ex-husband was taking money from her bank accounts.
In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live" that aired Monday night, the comedian accused Matt Moline of taking $72,000 over a period of time.
"My ex-husband, without my knowledge, was sneaking into my wallet when I was asleep in the mornings and taking my ATM cards of my own private accounts and withdrawing money," Griffin alleged. "That money totaled $72,000. ... over about a year and a half."
He "admitted it and apologized," she said. They went to couples therapy, but couldn't "get beyond the trust issue."
In a statement released to CNN, Moline said he was upset about Griffin's comments.
"Since our divorce, I have not made any public comments about my ex-wife or our marriage," he said. "It saddens me that she would choose to make such accusations at this time. I have no intention of engaging in a public debate over private matters."
Griffin and Moline were married in February 2001. She filed for divorce last September, citing irreconcilable differences. They have no children.
"Eventually, I end up putting everything into the act," Griffin, the star of Bravo's "My Life on the D-List," said. "I kind of turn tragedy into comedy and I find that that's a great way for me to kind of deal with it."

From the West of England to the South of England
A Pilgrimage with celtic connections
May 5 - 12, 2018
this pilgrimage is now full - but there is still space for the Via Francigena in Italy in September 2018
Land's End to The Lizard
The South West Coastal Path stretches from Minehead in Somerset, to Swanage in Dorset, a total of some 630 miles. Our Pilgrimage takes us from the most westerly point of England (Land's End) to its most southerly point (The Lizard), a distance of 45 miles. The Path was originally created by coast guards who were checking the small inlets and coves for smugglers, and by tin miners and fishermen. Their churches and cottages and mines are still scattered along the path, which dips up and down along a rugged coast line - up to the heathlands and down to the sea. You need to be fairly fit to do this - time to begin walking and getting in shape in readiness! But most days we only walk 7 or 8 miles, and there is a rest day midweek. There are a few ups and downs but not too many and not too demanding
Come and enjoy the glorious Cornish coast - you might spot seals, eat a cream tea, enjoy local fresh fish, learn about Celtic saints, worship in a 6th century church. And along the way, have plenty of time to be refreshed and renewed in your walk with the Lord. In May, the coastal path is fringed with glorious wild flowers - bluebells, thrift gorse, campion and many others.
This is an 8 day holiday in May 2018, arriving on day one, Saturday May 5th; walking for 5 days, with a day off mid week (see below) and departing on day 8, Saturday May 12th.
We will stay at Chy-an-Eglos, a wonderful house above an old harbour. Built in 1775, with quirky rooms and great charm, it's an eclectic three-storey Grade II Listed Manor House with two main stairways, and is wonderfully higgledy –piggledy! There are fine original Rococo plasterwork ceilings, and original wall panelling and chimney pieces. The large parlour has a modillioned cornice and the small parlour has florets within a cavetto moulding; the original doorcases have chest-shaped overdoors and original 6-panel doors. For a period during the C19th this house was the home of Piers St Aubyn, Architect. There are lots of nooks and crannies to sit - the library, study, sitting room or window seats. AND there is an indoor swimming pool in the grounds. Perfect for the mid week day off! History and home combine to make this a wonderful place to stay and to rest. There are 3 double rooms and 3 twin rooms, each with their own bathroom. So bring your spouse; or a friend with whom you don't mind sharing a room.
We will walk about 8-10 miles each day, with the longest day's walk being 10 miles and most days only 8 or so; but we will have one day off midweek for other activities or relaxation - your choice from things such as sleeping, reading, taking time by yourself, exploring the historic St Michael's Mount, or the Newlyn School of Art, playing golf at St Enedoc, pottering around the quaint shops and galleries of Marazion ...
We will begin each day with breakfast and a short meditation about a local Cornish saint; there will be reflections and 'spiritual exercises' occasionally as we walk; we will stop at lunch time for you to purchase refreshments at local pubs or cafes (try the Cornish pasties! or fish and chips ...) and each evening before dinner there will be a devotional time with worship, a reflection or Bible teaching, and ministry time. Then we will relax over supper and wine - and light the fire if it's chilly!
* * * * *
Further details:
- We will soak up the atmosphere in ancient and tiny storm-wracked churches; learn more of the Celtic saints who first established Christianity in this area; explore old tin mines and talk to sheep and cows. And try a Cornish cream tea and Cornish meat pasties. Maybe even a Stargazy pie!
- In May there is normally a profusion of wild flowers clustered along the edge of the path, pinks and blues and yellows. The beauty is stunning as we walk along this rugged edge, sometimes dipping down to the sea or climbing up to the bracing heathlands.
- But above all, we all want to take time out from everydayness and give the time and the space for the Lord to speak into our lives.
- There's something about the walking and the newness of this rhythm that enables us to hear from God in a way that perhaps doesn't seem to happen at home.
- evening devotions will include times of worship and prayer, and Kim giving a short Bible teaching
- each morning will have a thought from the life of a local Celtic saint, given by Penelope who will continue the theme as we walk
- This is a typical English Houseparty - staying in an old house, eating together, making ourselves at home and able to use all the facilities of the house, and being out and about in the fresh (read bracing!) English coastal air every day except one.
It is suitable for any Christian of any age and stage, single or married. You need to be able to walk about 8 – 10 miles a day; but there's no hurry and there's nothing else to do all day, so it's unlike a walk at home, with deadlines or with work again tomorrow.
The Cost for this 8 day holiday includes:
- 7 nights staying in an historic Cornish manor house
- breakfast and evening meals provided daily
- wine with dinner each evening
- beds freshly made; all linens and towels provided
- daily maid service
- fully guided walking each day
- transport to and from the walk each day

For centuries, Christians have walked to special places, to take time to be with God and allow God the time and space to work in their lives. A pilgrimage is a setting aside of one's normal routine, and taking time to reflect on what the Lord is saying, and allowing the rhythm of the walk to give mental and spiritual refreshment. It is a physical expression of our spiritual journey with God; it is a time to enjoy the beauty of God's creation in the company of others; and it is a desire to spend quality time with God in a new way.
It is a vacation with a difference.
This is what the Lord says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." Jer. 6:16

Former Wells Fargo customer Shahriar Jabbari filed a lawsuit against the bank Wednesday accusing it of high-pressure sales that led to deceiving and defrauding him and other customers. The suit alleges violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and California's unfair competition and consumer protection laws.
Jabbari, of Campbell, Calif., seeks class-action certification for the lawsuit. The complaint mirrors accusations in another lawsuit filed last week by Los Angeles (Calif.) City Attorney Michael Feuer.
Both lawsuits allege that the bank's pressure tactics amounted to a "fee-generating machine" that encouraged employees to misuse customer information to open unwanted accounts. Some customers never realized they had the accounts until collection agencies began pursuing fees, according to the suit filed last week, that also alleges the bank hid fees, refused to close accounts on request and forged signatures.
Last week, Wells Fargo officials stated the bank would defend itself vigorously, describing its culture as focused on the best interests of customers and "creating a supportive, caring and ethical environment for our team members."
On Wednesday, Wells Fargo challenged Jabbari's assertion that a Wells Fargo database called ClientTrack makes sensitive customer information accessible to all bank employees, enabling them to open new accounts for existing clients without the customers' authorization.
"We do not have a system that matches the description in the complaint," a spokesperson said. "And all our systems are designed to comply with applicable laws, including privacy laws."
Jabbari alleged that debt collectors badgered him to pay fees on Wells Fargo accounts that were opened without his knowledge. His lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, seeks restitution from the profits Wells made from the "unlawful practices." It also seeks triple damages.
The complaint includes detailed allegations about Wells Fargo's so-called gaming of customers and alleges that a current Wells Fargo employee saw bank employees open unauthorized accounts on a "nearly daily basis."Jabbari's suit alleges that soon after starting banking with Wells Fargo in 2011 he began noticing anomalies, such as unwanted fees. In 2013, according to the complaint, he visited a Wells Fargo branch in Los Gatos, Calif. to ask about an unauthorized charge. At that time, an employee showed him how accounts had been opened in his name using a signature that was not his, according to the suit.
Jabbari said he discovered that seven accounts had been issued without his permission. A few months later, the lawsuit alleged, he received a change of address notification showing several accounts that he had not opened and that he thought had been closed.

When you think about an eating regimen, do you see dreams of plain rice cakes and steamed cabbage? For those of us who love the taste of good food, the idea of going on a diet may make us cringe. So when an eating routine goes along that underscores appreciating nourishment, it's practically sure to be a hit.
One such diet is the Sonoma Diet. Conceived by Connie Guttersen, who is a registered dietician, the diet takes its name from California's Sonoma Valley. Sonoma Valley is well known for its wine industry and Mediterranean style. Similarly, the Sonoma Diet has a distinctly Mediterranean flavor and allows the consumption of wine.
Concepts of the Sonoma Diet
At the core of the Sonoma Diet are ten so-called "power foods." These foods are used heavily in the diet due to their superior nutritional value. They are:
* Almonds – These tasty nuts are a good source of protein and heart-healthy fats.
* Bell Peppers – Bell peppers are low in calories, but high in vitamins and flavor.
* Blueberries – Included on many lists of the most nutritious foods, blueberries contain high levels of antioxidants.
* Broccoli – This vegetable is high in vitamin C and calcium.
* Grapes – Grapes are loaded with phytonutrients, both in fruit and wine from.
* Extra-virgin olive oil – Unlike most oils, this oil has lots of antioxidants and may lower cholesterol.
* Spinach – This is another low-calorie food that is packed with vitamins and minerals.
* Strawberries – The strawberry, a favorite fruit to eat raw, contains lots of antioxidants and is quite filling.
* Tomatoes – Is always a popular food and also high in nutritional value.
* Whole grains – Whole grains give us energy and raise metabolism.
The Sonoma Diet is divided into three phases. The first phase is the most restrictive but only lasts 10 days. The second phase increases calorie intake by 200-300 calories and allows more foods. The third phase is the maintenance phase and is intended to be followed for life.
Unlike most diets, the Sonoma Diet does not encourage counting calories. Instead, dieters are required to control portion sizes. Breakfast is limited to the amount of food that will fit in a 7-inch bowl or plate, while lunch and dinner are served on a 9-inch plate.
Advantages and Disadvantages
The Sonoma Diet encourages the consumption of flavorful foods, something that many diets fail to do. It is also high in nutritional value, incorporating many healthy raw foods. Notwithstanding the Sonoma Diet book, calorie counters can likewise exploit an online dinner organizer and group.
Critics say that the Sonoma Diet is too low in calories for the average dieter. There are also a number of forbidden foods and little flexibility. Although the Sonoma Diet is not purported to be a low-carb diet, it does not contain very many carbs, particularly in the first phase.
The Sonoma Diet offers something different for dieters who are not impressed with standard diet foods. The method of portion control is easy to understand, and the emphasis is on the foods you can eat rather than the ones you can't. If you enjoy cooking and eating flavorful foods, this might be the diet for you.

If a rocket fails it usually doesn't flutter to the ground like a butterfly on gossamer wings, gently kissing the Earth it has just left. These events tend to be… catastrophic. Nevertheless, companies have a tendency to, well, sugarcoat the reality and avoid using words that actually describe anything catastrophic (see "I write sins, not tragedies", The Space Review, February 5, 2007). This has happened time and time again. Here are just a few examples:
"The first Ariane-5 flight did not result in validation of Europe's new launcher."
(June 1996. The rocket self-destructed.)
"The Sea Launch Zenit-3SL vehicle, carrying the NSS-8 satellite, experienced an anomaly today during launch operations. Sea Launch will establish a Failure Review Oversight Board to determine the root cause of this anomaly."
(January 2007. The rocket exploded on the launch pad.)
"Successful Short Hop, Setback, and Next Vehicle. …last week we lost the vehicle during a developmental test at Mach 1.2 and an altitude of 45,000 feet. A flight instability drove an angle of attack that triggered our range safety system to terminate thrust on the vehicle."
(August 2011. The Blue Origin rocket probably disintegrated supersonically at 45,000 feet.)
Perhaps what we need is an entirely new word to describe the fiery explosion of a launch vehicle so that the public affairs people at rocket companies no longer need to resort to words like "anomaly" or "setback." Feel free to suggest your own.

SECAUCUS, N.J. — Next year's Super Bowl will be the first to be played in an uncovered stadium in a cold-weather region. Organizers, who hope it will be the Super Bowl of mass transit, announced plans on Monday that they said would use buses and rails to move more people to and from the game than for any Super Bowl before.
At a news conference inside the Frank R. Lautenberg Station at Secaucus Junction, coordinators for Super Bowl XLVIII and transportation officials made it clear that driving to the nearby MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford should be the least desirable option on the day of the game, Feb. 2, because parking will be very limited and tight security will make traveling around the stadium difficult. In addition, they said, if the weather is inclement, driving conditions could be hazardous.
"People should put the getting around in the hands of professionals," said Alfred F. Kelly Jr., the president and chief executive of the NY/NJ Super Bowl Host Committee, adding that he expected as many as 80 percent of spectators to use public transportation.
And those who do secure a parking pass will not be allowed to engage in a tradition that many football fans consider sacred during the regular season: tailgating. Barbecue grills and lounge chairs will be forbidden, and all food and drink must be consumed within the space of a single parking spot, a rule that has been in place at the Super Bowl since 2002, officials said.
About 400,000 visitors are expected to descend on the New York region in the week before the Super Bowl and about 80,000 will attend the game itself, officials said.Continue reading the main story
New York City subways, New Jersey Transit and PATH trains will have about the same level of service as during weekday rush periods. For the game, the host committee will operate a bus fleet called the Fan Express to carry people to and from five sites in Manhattan and four in New Jersey. The buses will cost $51 round trip, and one lane of the Lincoln Tunnel will be dedicated to them.
"The bus piece is different and new," Mr. Kelly said. "It's like the Olympics model."
Public transit is especially crucial to this year's Super Bowl because only about 13,000 parking spaces will be available at MetLife Stadium. The rest of the more than 28,000 spaces there will be taken up by trucks used to televise the game and to provide entertainment.
In addition to the buses, New Jersey Transit trains will be operating, with game-day service from Secaucus Station to the stadium. New Jersey Transit also will sell a $50 unlimited-ride ticket, called a Super Pass, valid Jan. 27 to Feb. 3.
"If there's any region that knows how to deal with public transportation issues," said Jonathan Tisch, an owner of the New York Giants and one of the chairmen of the host committee, "it's this region."
For regular season football games, about 10,000 to 12,000 spectators travel to the stadium by train and a smaller number by bus, officials said. Other arrive in 30,000 vehicles that park at the stadium and off-site lots.
Parking passes for Jets and Giants games at MetLife Stadium are $25 to $35, but Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for the National Football League, said the limited number of spaces for the Super Bowl will each cost $150. They will go on sale Thursday.
Ticket holders who might plan to hire a private car service might have to rethink those plans: for the first time, Super Bowl officials will not allow passenger drop-off zones at the stadium.
No vehicle without a parking pass will be allowed into the security perimeter around the stadium, organizers said. Nor will pedestrians, even those walking from home, Mr. Kelly said.
James Simpson, the commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Transportation, said road crews would have plows ready in case of a snowstorm.
"We have the trucks, management and manpower on hand to fight any kind of weather," Mr. Simpson said. "Our goal is to keep vehicles on the move."
Robert Wood Johnson IV, another chairman of the host committee, said transportation was one of the biggest issues on his mind when he helped make the Super Bowl bid to the N.F.L.
Mr. Johnson, who owns the Jets, said, "I've been to enough Super Bowls to know we're not going to have any problem."Continue reading the main story

An important part of routine car maintenance is changing the oil regularly. The necessary frequency of oil changes has become a point of contention among experts. The Engine Oil Bible maintains that engine oil can't be changed often enough, but Nordic Group insists that, with the advent of detergent oils and multi-weight oils, some vehicles can go as far as 6,000 miles before needing an oil change. The best course of action is to check the owner's manual and follow manufacturer's recommendations.
An obvious benefit of changing one's own oil is saving money, but oil change services frequently advertise bargains. If the "check engine oil" light comes on while driving, this is a strong indication that the car is running low on oil. A driver does not need a mechanic to add oil. However, if the oil light stays on or lights up shortly after adding oil, there may be a leak, and a mechanic should look at the car.
jerry's Automotive is dedicated to providing customers with quality services. From the moment you enter our Quick Lube service center, we strive to deliver exceptional auto maintenance services. Our goal is to make sure our customers are completely satisfied with their Quick Lube experience. Here is a brief list of services Jerry's Automotive can provide:Oil Changes
Did you know that regularly changing the oil in your vehicle is one of the simplest, most effective and inexpensive ways to help protect its engine life? Oil lessens wear, reduces friction, and forms a seal between the pistons, rings, and cylinder walls. The oil also helps cool engine parts and even dampens the shock and noise of moving parts. For all your oil change needs, call 517-393-7240 or visit Jerry's Automotive today. We have years of experience helping drivers with oil changes and other auto maintenance needs.Motor Oil Basics
Do you know the oil basics? Did you know that even some auto mechanics do not know the oil basics? In order for your car's engine to do its job properly, it is vital to have clean, fresh oil. The oil used in your car has two primary ingredients: base oil and additives. The base oil allows the motor oil to perform its vital function - lubricating the engine's moving parts to protect them against wear and tear caused by friction. The additives provide additional engine protection by helping to prevent the oil from deteriorating under the engine's extreme temperature conditions. At Jerry's Automotive, we are motor oil experts - we will help you with motor oil basics. Call us at 517-393-7240 or visit our auto repair shop in Lansing, MI 48911 today.Transmission Service
Just like replacing your engine oil, transmission service is part of your routine vehicle maintenance. The service involves removing and examining the pan, cleaning or replacing the screen or filter, cleaning the pan, reinstalling the pan (with a new pan gasket), replacing the old oil with new, and adding an additive package. Adding new fluid restores the holding power between the clutches. This service helps improve lubrication and helps maximize the life of the transmission. For all your transmission repair needs, visit or call Jerry's Automotive in Lansing, MI 48911 today. We offer transmission services, reseal services, and clutch services.Transmission Flush
Although most manufacturers recommend a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or every two years, some symptoms may indicate that you need a transmission flush sooner. Some of the symptoms that indicate that your car needs a transmission flush sooner are: transmission grinding or strange noises, problems shifting gears, slipping gears, surging of the car, and delay in vehicle movement. Flushing the used fluid from the transmission washes away tiny particles of dirt, clutch material, and metal shavings. For all your transmission flush needs, call 517-393-7240 or visit Jerry's Automotive today - we are transmission experts.Coolant System Flush
A car's air conditioning system contains a coolant which transfers excess heat from one part of the engine and finally loses it through the radiator fins. With time, the a/c coolant becomes old and dirty. The old coolant will negatively impact the system's performance. To make sure the system is working effectively, consider having a regular coolant system flush. A coolant flush is basic maintenance for your car's cooling system. Call 517-393-7240 or visit Jerry's Automotive in Lansing, MI 48911 for all your coolant system flush and fill needs. Ensure maximum performance from your vehicle's heating and cooling systems today.
