Contact us for a free evaluation to discuss whether the search was reasonable, whether your Miranda rights were violated, or whether the State Attorney's Office may have insufficient evidence of possession of the drugs to successfully prosecute the case.
Any arrest for a drug offense is serious. Even a conviction for possession of marijuana carries with it a two-year suspension of your driver's license. Any felony offense carries even more serious and life changing consequences. Even if the charges are ultimately dropped, just the fact that you were arrested carries with it certain consequences that can impact your career and educational opportunities.
Under Florida law, any drug offense conviction could potentially have harsh penalties, including the following:
The harshness of the sentencing for drug convictions range from less serious sanctions for possession of an illegal substance to severe sanctions required by law for serious offenses like drug selling or trafficking. The conviction and the consequences required by law enforcement agencies and state prosecutors for drug crimes differ dependent on the following factors:
Also, the penalties or sentencing for a drug offense can range from a diversion drug program to probation and, in severe cases, state or federal imprisonment.
Universally controlled substances for which seizures are made throughout Melbourne, Brevard County, and throughout the entire eastern and central Florida area include:
Controlled substances can also include:
It is also unlawful to own or trade medicine anesthetics or amphetamines without a prescription such as:

Stop the Embarrassment
Quick call the medic! Is your bathroom one that you are proud to show off when someone comes over? Or do you shut the door because you are embarrassed? Maybe it is time for a bathroom makeover. After all, your friends will likely see the bathroom before the end of their visit. Shutting the door will only delay the inevitable!
Simple hints to bring the life back into your bathroom!
1. Replace the Faucet
Believe it or not, your faucet will set the tenor for your entire bathroom. It seems to be the focal point that is noticed first when you walk into a bathroom. If your faucet is one of those old, traditional faucets, it is time to replace it with one that has some style.
What is neat about a faucet is that you can find very stylish faucets in many different price ranges to fit within anyone's budget.
2. Change Your Existing Accessories
Even if you are not looking to do some major bathroom renovations, you can still create an updated bathroom that will shine just by changing a few accessories. Consider getting a new towel ring or towel rack. How about a getting a new curtain rod and rings?
These accessories can come in a variety of finishes, from chrome to brushed nickel to bronze. Just changing these accessories out will add sparkle to your bathroom.
3. Add new Accessories
Not sure what to add to your bathroom décor? If you do not have a towel ring, add one next to the vanity sink for guests to use instead of using your bath towels. Get designer towels specifically to match the décor in your bathroom.
How about adding a vanity shelf for extra storage and a stylish way to hold all of those bathroom necessities? A fun accessory is a towel warmer. Imagine what your guests will say when they see something that is usually only seen in expensive hotel rooms!
4. New Lighting Fixtures Will Brighten it up
You will likely spend the beginning of your morning in the bathroom. Adding new light fixtures will pick up your mood and brighten your morning. You should choose two, three or four bulb fixtures to add enough light to your mirror area. For more light and more style, you can add side sconces. These are great to create a relaxing atmosphere for a bubble bath!
5. Paint the Walls
Your walls will get dim looking from steam, hairspray, little hands and all of the other things that you and your family would do in the bathroom for your daily rituals. A new shade of paint will add life automatically to the room you spend so much time in.
You can also try new painting techniques, such as stencils, to add a sense of uniqueness to your private space. The type of paint you use should either be mildew resistant or you can have the store you purchase your paint from stir in an additive that will make the paint resistant to mildew.
6. Install a new Showerhead
There are a variety of showerheads you can get for your shower each with a multitude of functions. Showerheads can be adjustable, handheld or massaging. A new showerhead is an update that the entire family can enjoy and a luxurious update to your bathroom.
Turn your boring shower into a home spa shower by installing a two-wall diverter system that will spray and invigorate your whole body from top to bottom and from all directions.
Add new life into your bathroom with these simple changes and begin your day off with a fresh and enlightening mood that will leave your friends wondering why you're in such high spirits.

Legions of Gotham has been bringing you the best in news, info and behind the scenes looks since we began back in 2003. We've done some research into the Batgirl CGI trailer that aired during Batman: Brave and the Bold after much online fan speculation and we've found the truth!
Accoring to a long-time and reliable inside source of ours, deep inside the DC/WB system, this was CGI test footage for a proposed Dc Universe Animated Feature from years ago, but was shelved after the Wonder Woman Dc Animated Movie didn't do as well as they'd have liked. The Brave and the Bold crew grabbed it for fun and thats why we get to see it! Its quite a treat, really.
This is in NO way a reflection of the 2012 CGI Batman show. None. The style for that show will also NOT be in the same Timm style as the Green Lantern CGI animated show. The 2012 show is headed up by Teen Titans alum Glen Murakami. More on that soon!
...and thats the scoop. Case closed bat-fans!

Justin Bieber Does NOT Lecture Girls About Christianity Before Sex, Despite Report
Justin Bieber does NOT lecture girls about Christianity and the Bible before having sex with them, despite a late and wrong tabloid report. Gossip Cop can once again correct this claim. We're told it's "ridiculous."
A so-called "source" tells the National Enquirer that the singer has a modeling agency send escorts to his room while he's on tour, adding, "Justin tells the girls the Bible is his favorite book, and they're doing the Lord's work, showing their beauty, and he hopes they're letting Jesus into their hearts." The outlet's dubious insider adds, "They're showing off their boobs and their butts, and throwing themselves at him, and Justin is asking if they have a personal relationship with Jesus!"
The tabloid's seemingly phony source further purports that the models "showing an interest in Christianity usually get the fast track to his hotel suite." But if this tall tale sounds familiar, it's because Gossip Cop already busted the Enquirer's sister publication, Star, for falsely claiming Bieber asks women about their "relationship with Jesus" before sex. A trustworthy source close to Bieber assured us the report was "ridiculous," and it remains so.
Of course, Gossip Cop has repeatedly called out the Enquirer for publishing absurd claims about the pop star, so this latest one comes as no surprise. We previously busted the tabloid for alleging that Bieber refuses to talk to concert staff while on tour. We also debunked the outlet's phony story about Bieber throwing a Christmas party with strippers. This latest article is equally bogus.

Sansa sat trembling beneath The Hound's cloak,she could smell smoke and blood,she looked at her hand it was spotted with gore and dirt where she had stroked Sandor Clegane's cheek.
She still didn't know why she did it,it felt right and when she touched him the dread she had felt for so long now seemed to seep away.
The Hound's tears were still wet on her finger's ,she really thought that when she opened her eyes he'd still be there,but he was gone.
It frightened her to realize that she wanted him there.
The one person she wanted and needed was one of the most frightening people she had ever met,she should be wishing for her father, her brothers, one of the many knights she had kept in her heart but they had all let her down.
The only person who made her feel anything was The Hound,he made her feel safe ,that she might just be worth something and that she wasn't there just to be beaten, humiliated or used as a pawn in their stupid game's.
Why did she not go with him?He said he could take her away and that's all she wanted now just to be away and safe and loved.
Sansa was cold and frightened "Who is going to use me next?,what part am I to play now?" she thought.
How sweet it would be to just be her,not have to act a part or live up to a title,titles were nothing she knew that now,goodness and honour did not come with a title in fact it almost guaranteed there would be none.
"Beware all Ser's and princes" she whispered, Sansa never thought honesty could be the most important thing to her,but it was,and that beauty was more than gold hair and shining armour,but it was…
She began to shake,"I sent him….away….Oh God's…….." a sob erupted from her and a pain like she had never felt before struck her with such force that she knew in her heart she would die here on this stone floor rather than carry on for one more day at this farce of a life without him.
"He left me…….he left me…….." This was her fault again,she had sent away her one true knight,her one chance for happy ending like in the song's.
"All my fault……..Oh God's please ..he left me" The pain in Sansa's chest gnawed at her mercilessly as she twisted Sandor's cloak in her hand's but the pain would not cease.
Through the haze of grief she heard heavy footsteps coming towards the chamber "Oh Mother help me no more no more" she thought.
Whoever this new torturer was they crossed the room in a few easy steps and grabbed her cloak and all and hauled her against them.
A keening wail burst from her unbidden Sansa had never felt such sorrow,how could this get worse,she had not had time to grieve for even one of her losses before the next was thrust upon her,a sudden fury filled her "Why me ,why me all the time,DAMN THE GOD'S" she thought but it came out as the most violent unladylike scream that had ever passed her lips.
The scream felt good and she continued to kick and scream and punch,but she may as well have been fighting a brick wall,her captor was immovable.
The pointlessness of her struggles enveloped her and she made the decision to give up and accept that in this world she would be powerless,no one was going to save her.
Nothing mattered anymore.
Sansa went limp and silent,she tried to send her thoughts somewhere beautiful ,but she no longer knew what beautiful was.
They had started to slow down and try as she might to be brave the trembling began again in earnest.
She was placed gently on the ground,someone was pulling away her cloak "No" she thought "It's all I have left of him" as she struggled to hold on they pulled it away from her effortlessly.
Sansa held on tightly to herself as sob's racked her body screwing up her eyes as if she could make it all go away,she felt him pulling at her and could not stop the violent shaking as pure terror washed over her.
"God's child I mean you no harm" came a voice she thought she would never hear again. She looked up and tried to blink the tears from her eyes,all she could see was a huge dark shape in front of her,her stomach began churning as her heart began to hope, she had not dreamed the voice he was here with her,a calm came over her.
A new trembling began within her as The Hound turned to look at her,as he met her eye's she saw none of the rage that was there before he looked concerned and worried and if she could believe it ,him Sandor Clegane looked frightened.
She drank in every bit of his face,his deep brown eyes, his mouth,even the scar that used to fill her with dread ,he was here .
Sansa had never felt so much relief or joy "You came back" she said ,she could feel the warm tears running down her face,she wanted to pull him to her to cover herself with him to wrap him around her and disappear.
She took his face in her hands,Sandor froze,she could see the throb of his heart in his thick neck.
He stared at her muttering,saying he was sorry for scaring her,Sansa rested her head against his "Shhhh.." she told him " I should have gone with you,I should never have let you leave"
She looked into his eye's and her heart soared,he wanted her ,he would stay with her,she would never loose him again.
As she looked at his lip's she had never wanted anything so much as she wanted to be part of him right now,Sansa touched her mouth to his she thought she would break to pieces,the feeling's within her were too much to be contained.
Sansa smiled as she tasted their mingled tears running down her chin,she felt bereft as he took his mouth from her's ,until he pulled her to him and she grazed his face with her lip's.
Sandor let out a huge sigh and Sansa felt like she was home.

Dear Ireland,
We are happy to deliver the clement weather that you ordered in November 1978.
Sorry, it go sidetracked for a little while in our sorting office in Riyadh.
But there you go, better late than never.
Oh, by the way, it got a little bit broken while in transit.
The blue sky works perfectly fine but the thermostat is a little bit banjaxed. The temperature won't go above 18 degrees (Celsius though, lucky you).
We hope that this has not undermined the trust that you place in us.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for having chosen us as preferred transporter for all your national debt repayments. You won't be disappointed!
And apologies again for the Clement Weather package.
I won't happen again. (The delay, not the clement weather).
All the best mate,

By Lauren-AshleighDonnelly 13EC The Works Of Alvin Ailey Choreography: Alvin Ailey
Costumes: Normand Maxon
Lighting: Nicola Cernovitch
Musical Style: Traditional Redonda/Cinco Latinas (1958) Normand Maxon's costumes relied on feathers, plumed headresses and wigs, an array of flower and bead necklaces and 'fetish masks' to suggest exotic atmosphere although posed photographers indicate that Ailey's choreography relied on postures from theatrical jazz dance style.
Cinco Latinas looked a lot like dances Ailey had performed at Horton's theatre and on at least one occasion (27th January 1962) included several Horton-credited pieces among its number. Most successful of the suite was the bawdy rumba alternately titled 'El Ciagro' that Ailey concieved for Charles Moore and Jacqueline Walcott as 'the age-old fight between men and women stated in new terms. Choreography: Alvin Ailey
Restaging: Masazumi Chaya
Costumes redesigned: Normand Maxon
Décor & Costumes: Ves Harper
Original Lighting Design: Nicola Cernovitch
Lighting Redesign: Chenault Spence
First Performance: World Premiere, 1958 - 92nd Street YM-YWCA, New York
Run Time:16 minutes
Musical Style:Traditional . Blue Suites(1958) Choreographer: Alvin Ailey
Music: Claude DeBussy
Décor & Costumes: Normand Maxon
Lighting: Nicola Cernovitch Ariette Oubliee(1958) "Blue Suites" (1958), set in and around a
barrelhouse, depicts the desperation and joys of life
on the edge of poverty in the South. Highly theatrical and
immediately accessible, the dance contains sections of early 20th-
century social dances, Horton dance technique, Jack Cole-inspired jazz dance, and ballet partnering. and finally De Lavallade and her
retinue of attendants bearing branches and sea
shells. Lovestruck, the Wanderer caught the Moon in a
net, only to find himself captured by her spell. The Moon left, and the cardboard moon followed her. The man found a sea shell beneath his hat. Thankyou :) .With the rumble of a train and the toll of distant bells, a cast of vividly-drawn characters from the barrelhouses and fields of Alvin Ailey's southern childhood are summoned to dance and revel through one long, sultry night. Ailey's first masterpiece poignantly evokes the sorrow, humor and humanity of the blues, those heartfelt songs that he called "hymns to the
secular regions of the soul." Redonda, later renamed Cinco Latinas (21 December 1958), strung together 5 short pieces of exotica described as 'Latin theme'. Ailey's programme notes explained that the dancers were 'not intended as exact duplications of any ethnic form but creative interpretations of the mood,style and rich variety of the Afro-Brazillian-Carribean heritage'. Ariette Oubliee (21 December 1958), set to music from Debussy's song cycle of the same title, received a single performance. Ailey developed a choreographic fantasy from Debussy's impressionist settings of Verlaine's symbolist poetry. He portrayed a distracted youthful Wanderer who me a Clown (Don Price) and traded the flower of reality for the illusion of a beautiful Moon (Carmen De Lavallade). Much of the action was conveyed in pantomime. The Clown's crescent moon, exchanged for a
flower plucked from the brim of the Wanderer's
hat, became first a large cardboard moon Ailey certainly made the dance to display the beauty of De Lavallade,
who, when 'borne about the stage by her votaries in sweeping crescents,
might have been an incarnation of Diana, chaste goddess of the moon'
The performance of Don Price as the Pierrot Lunaire figure in
Ailey's dance seemed 'not quite firm enough' although Ailey
conveyed a 'believable simple conviction' as the man. Ariette
Oubliee relied heavily on Maxon's sumptuous decor
and costumes, though, as one critic quipped,
'props are no substitute for
meaningful dance.' Blue Suites is a piece deriving from blues songs from that era in Ailey's
life. Beginning with the blues, Alvin Ailey was subsequently able to take
us through a wide range of emotional and kinetic experiences in his
choreographic output.The characters in Blues Suite reflections of
people he knew from his childhood in Texas, went to the Dew
Drop Inn on Saturday evening to relax and have a good
time while preparing to repent at church on Sunday
morning. Mr.Ailey said, "In dance I deal
with these two very different worlds."

Sailed Past Ten Thousand Hills 輕舟已過萬重山
"Sailed Past Ten Thousand Hills"
This is a more abstract piece of my "Flow" series. The landscape is created with free flowing ink on water. I added a tiny boat with a Chinese brush. It is inspired by the Tang dynasty poem by Li Bai. The calligraphy on the painting is a phrase from that poem, "The skiff has sailed past ten thousand hills"

Welcome to my blog!
My name is Michael Katz, and I've been a professional chef since 1991. From 2003-2006, I had the good fortune to teach full-time at the Le Cordon Bleu school in London, a culinary school that was founded in France in 1895 and that has a number of branches throughout the world. While I taught there, I began to understand how important it was for me to pass along the little knowledge that I had accumulated—and continue to accumulate—to cooks and chefs just beginning their journey.
In this blog, I raise every issue that seems important to me, although the title of the blog is "Tips and Guidance for The Young Chef" (young in age, in spirit, and in experience). The blog is intended for any professional or amateur chefs that are interested in enriching their knowledge—many of my posts are written in the kitchen itself while working, others were written a number of years ago but I still think they are relevant in some way and include them here.
I hope that this will assist and contribute to future chefs—when people ask me what makes me smile and gives me the desire to come to the kitchen every morning, I say that it's my staff, with whom we do excellent work in the kitchen. Together we learn, share, and do what we do best—give great service and cooking.
Apart from working in the kitchen, I have a great love for playing musical instruments, particularly on the drums, and I also build different types of scale models whom give lots of joy.
Thanks for reading!
For anyone interested in learning more about me, information can see my current CV.

One poorly realized monster, and one director's and one producer's dissatisfaction in that monster, resulted in we, the viewers, of being robbed of anything resembling a proper farewell for one of the finest characters, as played by one of the finest actors, to ever appear in the series. That image you see at the top of this post is from the last shot of Roger Delgado's time on Doctor Who. One of the last camera shots of Roger Delgado on this Earth.
Almost halfway through this Chronic Hysteresis (in terms of time spent. I've still got a few episodes to go before I'm halfway through those), I've found new appreciation for some stories and characters, and new reasons to be disappointed in others. Thus far, the standing of Roger Delgado's Master has improved the most for me. Not that I disliked the character in the past, but only while watching each episode of the Jon Pertwee did I notice myself physically sit up at attention whenever Delgado made his first appearance. I knew he was coming. There was no surprise. But Delgado was often the best part of whatever episode he was in.
Delgado is, without a doubt, the definitive Master. His successors all had their own charms, and I appreciate all the efforts of Messrs Pratt, Beevers, Ainley, Tipple, Roberts, Jacobi, and Simm. The fact that, even with all the different interpretations of The Master that came after Delgado, we still compare them to Delgado is quite notable. When a new Doctor is cast, we don't instantly compare him to William Hartnell or Jon Pertwee. Roger Delgado was the master at being The Master.
Delgado's intended final story would have seen him sacrifice his life in order to save The Doctor, perhaps even revealing that the two Time Lords were, in fact, brothers. Part of me wishes that this story could have been made, but another part of me seems content with the fact that Delgado's time in Doctor Who will always seem like it was cut short. Unfinished business is always the biggest regret when we lose someone, but it is also immensely tantalizing. What would have happened in that story? How would Delgado, who injected so much grace and class into what could have been a cartoon villain, have played his final scenes? Sadly, we will never know.
It is an enormous credit to producer Barry Letts to not recast the role of The Master out of respect for Delgado, despite the fact that his character outline practically encourages the change of lead actor. The fact, now, that Delgado's Master is no longer out there to thwart The Doctor is a bit painful to think about. The Doctor-Master rivalry was the main driving force behind most of the Third Doctor era, and now that The Doctor has won by acclamation, a little bit of excitement for this era has died with Delgado. Sadly, the same could also be said for Delgado's good friend Jon Pertwee, who never seemed the same as The Doctor afterwards.

This week, before adjourning Thursday, the Senate and Assembly took up hundreds of bills before the June 1 house of origin deadline.
Neither house held a floor session today, which means that bills that were not taken up yesterday missed the deadline and die. Although a number of League-opposed bills were passed to the second house, there is still time to lobby against them.
City officials are encouraged to send opposition letters for all bills that are currently moving forward. Some sample letters are available on the League's website by typing the bill number into the search box.
Bills Failing to Move
SB 1330 (Simitian) – Oppose
Action: Failed Deadline
League-opposed Senate Bill 1330 (Simitian), related to license plate recognition technology, failed to pass out of the Senate yesterday and has missed the house of origin deadline. This bill would have severely limited the use of license plate recognition technology, which serves as a critical investigatory tool for local law enforcement and improves revenue collection on unpaid parking citations.
Letters and phone calls from cities made a difference in Senate offices and the League is grateful for the swift, targeted action to stop the progress of SB 1330. City efforts bolstered a coalition effort of the League, law enforcement associations, parking authorities, and contractors providing services to local government.
SB 1182 (Leno) – Oppose
Action: Failed Deadline
This bill would have created broad protections from prosecution for medical marijuana dispensary, cooperative, and collective operators and their employees under the outdated and ill-fitting 2008 Attorney General Guidelines. This bill failed to meet the house of origin deadline.
HOT BILL – AB 2231 (Fuentes) – Oppose
Action: Referred to the Assembly Local Government Committee
AB 2231 (Fuentes) failed passage on Wednesday with a vote of 29-24, but then received rule waivers on Thursday that allowed the bill to be amended and referred back to the Assembly Local Government Committee. In order to move, the bill will need to become an urgency measure and would require a two-thirds vote of the Assembly. The amendments made on the floor on Thursday are not yet in print, but were characterized by the author as removing the state-mandated local program.
Bills Moving Forward
SB 1002 (Yee) – Oppose
Action: Sent to the Assembly
This bill was passed off the Senate floor Thursday with no "no" votes. This bill would amend the California Public Records Act to give public agencies the discretion to make documents available in a searchable format and requires the requester to bear the cost to convert documents into searchable formats. Additionally, the bill provides that if a public agency maintains documents in an "open format" the agency must provide electronic data or documents in that format and also provides that for any documents required by law to be placed online that those documents also be in an open format if the agency maintains them in in open format. The bill defines "open format."
SB 1003 (Yee) – Oppose
Action: Sent to the Assembly
This bill was passed on the Senate floor Thursday with a 22-11 vote. This bill would amend the Ralph M. Brown Act to authorize any interested person or district attorney to file an action in court alleging a past violation of the Brown Act. The bill limits the retroactive application to actions that occurred up to one-year in the past. The League opposes the bill because an action can be filed against the local agency regardless of whether it has since stopped the practice alleged to be in violation of the Brown Act. The League will continue to oppose the bill unless it is amended to allow public agencies the opportunity to respond to an alleged violation have an opportunity to stop the practice alleged to be in violation of the Brown Act. Without these changes the bill subjects local agencies to unnecessary and costly litigation.
SB 1161 (Padilla) – Watch/Concerns
Action: Sent to the Assembly
This bill was approved by the Senate on Wednesday. While the League does not have an official position on SB 1161, it has submitted amendments to the author's office designed to ensure the measure will have no harmful impact on local tax and fee collection and land use authority. The author has indicated a willingness to address these issues, and the League will continue to provide updates as negotiations continue.
SB 1222 (Leno) – Oppose
Action: Sent to the Assembly
This bill was passed on the Senate floor on Wednesday. The bill places a hard cap of $400 for a building permit fee on a solar residential systems 15 kw and under and requires local agencies to justify their "reasonable costs" in a finding and ordinance for any costs more than $400. The bill was amended in Senate Appropriations to give local governments new fee authority to comply with the requirements of the bill for fees exceeding $400. The League remains opposed to the bill.
HOT BILL – AB 1551 (Torres) – Oppose
Action: Sent to the Senate
This bill would exempt certain public safety officers from a requirement to report accidents that occur in a personal vehicle to a personal insurance provider and instead report those accidents to the employer. This bill unnecessarily shifts the liability for automobile accidents from the employee to the employer.
HOT BILL - AB 1692 (Wieckowski) – Oppose
Action: Sent to the Senate
AB 1692 was passed in the Assembly on Thursday with a 42-24 vote. This bill would remove provisions of AB 506 (Wieckowski) related to the mediation process including giving the "neutral evaluator" independent decision-making authority and allowing other parties to create delays by allowing the process to continue without the concurrence of the affected public entity. Last year the League vehemently opposed to similar provisions in early versions AB 506 because they created obstacles to municipal bankruptcy and resulted in a process stacked against local agencies. This measure is an effort to undo an agreement the author reached with local government on the final version of AB 506 last year.
For more please see "Municipal Bankruptcy Bill AB 1692 Passes on the Assembly Floor."
AB 1831 (Dickinson) – Oppose Unless Amended
Action: Sent to the Senate
This bill moved off the Assembly Floor this week with a 41-34 vote. The bill would prohibit a local agency from inquiring into or considering the criminal history of an applicant or including any inquiry about criminal history on any initial employment application. The bill would authorize a local agency to consider an applicant's criminal history after the applicant's qualifications have been screened and the agency has determined the applicant meets the minimum employment requirements, as stated in any notice issued for the position. The bill would not apply to a position for which a local agency is otherwise required by law to conduct a criminal history background check.
HOT BILL – AB 2312 (Ammiano) – Oppose
Action: Sent to the Senate
This bill passed off the Assembly floor with the author's pledge for additional amendments. This bill would create a statewide medical marijuana board to oversee regulation of cooperatives, collectives and dispensaries and imposes population-based formula for minimum number of required dispensaries in a local jurisdiction. It would also pose numerous conflicts with federal law and creates restrictions on local law enforcement. Additionally, the bill would requires cities with populations less than 50,000 to provide written findings to the state board showing evidence that medical marijuana is "reasonably" accessible. Cities and counties that do not have ordinances in place are required to follow regulations of the state board.

You've heard the saying "to err is human and forgive divine".
What you may not know, however, is that us Homo sapiens have been hardwired over the millenia to be illogical, distorted in our perception of reality, and inaccurate in our judgements.
In other words, to err repeatedly is human.

Chrissy Teigen -- model, Twitter aficionado and wife of John Legend -- opened up to Life & Style about what the future holds for her photogenic family.
The magazine caught up with Teigen at the London Fog Designer's Collection event in New York on March 4 and asked her, point blank, if kids are something she'd like to have.
"Oh, yeah. I'm very open about that," Teigen, 28, replied. "John is going to be a wonderful father. He's such a wonderful uncle. He has lots of nieces and nephews and he's so great with them."
Life & Style then asked Teigen when, exactly, we can expect the joyous Twitter announcement. "If it happened two years ago, I would have wanted them two years ago," she said. "But now looking back I'm like, whoa, thank goodness because this would be exhausting now. But I want a bunch, so if it happens it happens. I'm ready ... I've been ready and if there's anyone in the world who deserves to be a father, it's him."
As for her number, Teigen divulged: "Everyone says that once you have one, I'll change my mind, but I would love to have four. I come from a very small family. I think I'm the last one with this name, so I would love to have four, but we'll see after one. One might kill me."
Oh, we simply cannot wait for those baby pics on Instagram.
This isn't the first time Teigen has been candid about her desire for a family. In November of last year, Teigen told People magazine she's "definitely antsy" about having kids with her new husband. "I can't wait to be the parent that I always make fun of!" she said.
Last month, Teigen told ABC News: "We definitely have plans for kids. ... I want a ton, he wants a ton, so I guess it's time to start."
For more with Teigen, including her Oscar-night Twitter gaffe, head over to Life & Style.

Sustainable design
Sustainable design is an emerging discipline within the wider sustainability movement where making an organisation's impact on the world a positive one is just as important as generating profits.
You may know it as environmentally responsible design, eco design, green design, or ethical design but at the end of the day, it's simply good design practice. It's about seeing the bigger picture and finding better ways to solve problems.
Giving You An Informed Choice
Designers are often called upon to guide their clients through a production process – whether it's a website build or designing artwork for print.
I, and a growing number of designers, believe that it's important to help our clients make informed choices that go beyond cost and aesthetics. For example a small change in spec can make the difference between a product that's recyclable and one that will end up in landfill at the end of its life.
It's the designers duty to take responsibility for the whole lifecycle of the items we design – and that could mean recommending the most sustainable materials, production method and distribution as well as producing a design that will meet the brief and do the job.
Of course at the end of the day it's our clients who decide on the path to take, and budget, timescales and other constraints can sometimes mean that compromises must be made to get the job done. Just as profit should not be the sole driving force behind a project, nor should sustainability – the ideal outcome is a practical balance between the two.
How Sustainability Can Help Your Business To Grow
We can all agree that working responsibly and sustainably, is the right thing to do, but just in case you need a little more encouragement, it could also make your business more profitable and attractive to customers.
More and more consumers are demanding responsibly produced products and services, and that trend covers all sectors from responsible travel and tourism to household goods.
Back in 2015, Nielson's Global Corporate Sustainability Report showed that 66% of consumers are willing to spend more on a product if it comes from a sustainable brand. And that jumps up to 73% for millennials. (Source Forbes.com)
The Ethical Markets Report 2016 found that 53% of the UK population are choosing to avoid buying products and/or services over concerns about ethical reputation. (Source ethicalconsumer.org)
And for businesses looking to recruit fresh talent for their workforce, a huge proportion of young workers – 80% of 13-25 year olds – want to work for a company that cares about how it impacts and contributes to society. (Cone Millennial Cause Group via Forbes.com).
So not only is sustainability the right thing to do, it's also meeting a growing consumer demand, attracting young talent and increasing customer trust, loyalty and engagement.
Sustainable Design For your Business
If you're keen to explore ways that your business could become more sustainable, you'll probably want to know exactly what this involves from a design perspective. The guide below covers some of the essential considerations for ethical, sustainable design:
Message and Impact
What message does your product, service or item project?
Are there ways that you could adapt your approach to encourage a more positive impact?
For example if your product involves disposable packaging that can't be avoided could the design incorporate a message encouraging people to recycle or reuse it?
How necessary is the item you're planning?
What problem will it solve and are there other, greener ways to achieve the same result?
For example if you're planning a direct mail campaign and are considering having thousands of flyers printed, think carefully about how much waste that will generate and the level of return you're likely to receive.
If you can discuss your objectives with your designer at the briefing stage they may be able to suggest more effective, less wasteful and even cheaper options.
Think about the complete lifecycle of your product or item. What will happen at the end of its intended use?
Are there ways it could be repurposed, reused or recycled?
Could it have a secondary purpose to prevent it being sent to landfill?
If there is no alternative than it going to landfill could it be made more biodegradable?
Remember, just because something is theoretically recyclable doesn't automatically mean that it can be recycled everywhere, so keep local context in mind too. Recycling facilities vary across the country – if your product is specific to a certain area, can it be recycled there or would an alternative be more appropriate?
Reduce Materials
Printing uses up a huge amount of raw materials. From the stock being printing onto to the inks used, the cleaning process and finishing materials like glue and staples.
The first step in sustainable print is to get these materials down to a minimum. Is the item an unusual shape? Keeping to standard sized reduces waste.
Could the item be made smaller? A5 rather than A4 for example?
Could it be printed on a lighter stock?
Could it be folded rather than glued or stapled?
Could the ink coverage be reduced?
Is that spot uv or laminated coating essential? (Both make paper very hard to recycle).
Improve Materials
Once the materials have been reduced, consider whether they could be improved.
Could you switch to a recycled stock?
Could the inks be more environmentally friendly?
Consider the compound effect of using a greener paper – the amount of water, wood, solid waste and CO2 emissions saved can be staggering.
Production Footprint
Choose your print supplier carefully. Are they working in a responsible way?
Where do they source their energy?
How much waste do they generate and how do they deal with it?
What chemical byproducts does their process create and are they making efforts to reduce it?
How close are they to the the end destination for your item? If delivery is long distance this could cancel out other savings.
Think carefully about the quantity of print that you order. It may be tempting to stockpile to get a better deal, but try to order only as much as you need.
Energy Footprint – Hosting
Website must be hosted on servers, and servers tend to be very energy hungry.
Consider choosing a hosting provider that uses renewable energy and keeps its environmental impact to a minimum.
Efficiency – Speed of Loading
The faster a webpage loads, the less energy it consumes. Every element of a website, from code to images, should be optimised for reduced file sizes that load faster.
Lifecycle – Print Friendly Pages
If any pages on your website are likely to printed, offer a print friendly version that will use minimal ink. This might involve removing large images or backgrounds and reducing text size.
Finally, consider the overall practicality of the project. As important as sustainability is, if it makes the work unaffordable, impractical or prevents it from meeting the brief and solving the problem something has gone wrong.

Apple Watch 2, plan to release in September, as Apple releasing iPhone 7 on 9th September. New Apple watch which is categorized as wearable smart devices is rumored to have lighter, thinner and will have new display technology.
According to sources, the new Apple Watch will sport what is called a One Glass Solution (OGS) as opposed to the Glass-on-Glass (G/G) on the older model. This will give it a much thinner profile than the current Apple Watch, as well as making it lighter.
Display: Micro LED display will replaced the older AMOLED display, but that's not likely to be introduced in the Apple Watch family until 2017. Micro LED display have color clarity and have greater resolution to enhanced the display capability.
Apple watch will have Facetime camera, a GPS (for fitness tracking). Fastest mobile internet capability will enhanced by an S2 processor and LTE capability. Watch will be operate with the help of watch OS3.
Video Preview of Apple Watch 2
Pricing Competition of Apple Watch 2
Price of Apple watch cut off from $249 to $199, that Apple Watch 1 was launched at before Black Friday discounts and a subsequent announcement from the company officially made it $199. Market competition will be seen at this price. Larger market for the Apple Watch, which it sorely needs.
With a drop of sales in Apple products over the past two quarters, Apple needs to make some affordable products for a wider market. The iPhone SE was so successful that supply is unable to meet demand, and we think Apple has found a new product in market.
Until now, only premium buyers have been supporting their products. After this watch Apple likely to grow their sales and revenues. At a time when Apple's market respect as the most valuable company in the world is losing its shine, they need a much larger presence. If Apple decreases their prices too much then they'll start stepping into Samsung's high-end market. The Korean company isn't going to sit by and watch their market share be eroded, so this will be a good battle to watch if that ever happens.

Fr. Martin's Sabbatical blog logs!
Arrived via the night train exactly on schedule. Headed to this church, Sagrada Familia, but tickets are sold out for today. I now have one for Wednesday afternoon. Will take the bus tour tomorrow to get the lay of the land.
DAY 2 in Barcelona
Most of today was spent in the Gothic quarter of Barcelona. I especially wanted to see the church Santa Maria de la Mar, the construction of which was the subject of a novel I read some years ago. I went on a guided tour complete with a climb to the roof on a spiral staircase I thought would never end. It was all very interesting and informative.
I spent a good deal of the afternoon trying to find a park that was designed by the same architect that designed Sagrada Familia, Antonio Gaudi. I did finally get there, only to find that the tickets were sold out for the day. Today the forecast calls for rain, so maybe I will try again tomorrow.
I'm taking advantage of being on the Mediterranean and eating a lot of seafood -- bacallao or cod for lunch and calamari for dinner. Today I get to see the interior of Sagrada Familia. Can't wait.
DAY 3- the visit to Sagrada Familia
Today was my day to visit Sagrada Familia. It's truly amazing and a fascinating update of the medieval cathedral, complete with the long time it's taking to finish it. Now the plan is to finish it by 2026, the centennial of Gaudi's death, but with all the work that's left to do, it's hard to imagine that it will be done by then.
In any case, the visit has been the high point of the trip so far. Everywhere you look there's another interesting detail. Gaudi was quite active in his Catholicism so everything works liturgically, too. I especially liked how the pillars where designed to look like tree trunks, and the ceiling like the forest canopy. Very clever!
Day 4-Good-bye to Barcelona
My last day in Barcelona was beautiful -- too beautiful to waste inside. There's a large hill near the harbor, called Montjüic, that is topped by a fortress and several parks, so I headed that way. My original plan was to go by subway and then catch a bus, but when I got off the subway I couldn't find the bus stop, so I decided to walk. After a number of wrong turns and streets that ended in dead ends, I finally made it to the ...top. There was a restaurant there, even! The first photo is of the restaurant terrace complete with orange trees. The couple at the next table was from the Napa Valley in California and we had a nice conversation. After lunch I walked around to the other side of Monticello to get a shot of the Mediterranean and Barcelona harbor.
That was enough walking for one day, so I spent the early evening visiting an exhibition put on by the diocese of Barcelona on the life and work if the architect of Sagrada Familia, Antonio Gaudí. It was very well done and I stayed there almost until the place closed.
On the camino
Just finished day 2 on the camino. It's hard! Yesterday I took the recommendation of the bike computer my brother lent me and ended up going way out of my way. The road was good, with a good wide shoulder, but it got pretty windy in the afternoon and I was wondering whether I had bitten off more than I could chew. I didn't get to my lodgings until 5:30 p.m. after starting out at 8:30a.m. Bad case of sunburn on my legs, too.
Today went ...better. For one thing I covered up, wearing my hiking pants rather than biking shorts. I wore a ball cap under my helmet, too, which worked pretty well.
The hills are killing me! I get off and walk a lot.
The weather, aside from the wind has been pretty awesome. Lots of sun and temp in the 60s and low 70s. I guess I'm missing a lot of rain there.
On to Burgos
Today was a travel day. Went by bus to Burgos, where I will spend the next three nights. One thing I want to see is the Cathedral (2nd largest in Spain after Seville) where El Cid is buried. There was a movie about him that came out in the late 50s/early 60s, with Charleston Hesston in the lead role. My older sisters were so taken by its romanticism that for some time thereafter that was all we playacted. I remember being fairly fuzzy on who he was (I was too young to go to the movie) but thought he must have been pretty cool. Although he was Christian and usually fought for Christian kings, his name, which could be translated as "The Boss", was given him by the Muslim leaders, who held him in great respect.
Rain in the forecast for tomorrow. Haven't seen much of that since I arrived in Europe
A rainy day in Burgos
I woke this morning with blue sky and sunny weather and thought the rain that had been forecasted must has missed us. But things darkened by the end of breakfast and it became clear to me that if I wanted to see anything today, I needed to get moving. Yesterday's trip on the tourist train around town had given me some ideas--one being to hike up to the medieval fortress that protected the city throughout the centuries. Burgess ...still has a significant portion of its original wall, which is quite impressive, up to 40 feet high at some points.
It was really windy up on the fortress, so I didn't stay long, but the view made the trip worthwhile. From there I visited the Center for Human Evolution, which contains a museum with artifacts from an archeological site about 10 miles from the city. The name of the site is Atapuerca, and it's the kind of place that National Geographic would do an article about. So far, the oldest human fossil they have found there is figured to be 1.3 million years old. Obviously not homophobe sapiens, but an ancestor known as homo antecessor, or explorer. It's the oldest evidence of human habitation found yet in Europe. Then the wind and rain came and I was forced inside.
Some photos from around Burgos:
The Tomb of St. James
This is the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostella, where the tomb of St. James the Apostle is found. Lots of scaffolding around as the building was constructed in the 12th century. I suppose renovation work here never ends, either.
Today is Galicia Literature Day - who knew?
About 4 o'clock this afternoon I finally figured out that today is a holiday in Galicia, the part of Spain where I am now. The clues were there, but I just couldn't put them together. For one, the bus into town seemed like it took forever to come (they don't run as often on holidays). Then, traffic was diverted for some sort of parade/demonstration. People were marching with signs which read "I <heart> G...alicia. Then, I noticed there seemed to be a lot of school kids with their parents walking around. Then, there was some singing and traditional dancing in one of the plazas in the old town. But it didn't come together for me until the museum I was going to visit and which was supposed to open at 4 (according to the hours posted on the door anyway), didn't open. It's closed in the afternoon on Sundays and holidays. My suspicions were confirmed when I walked to the bus stop and the monitor said the next bus was in 19 minutes. They run every 15 minutes on a normal weekday. When I got back to my room I Googled "Holidays in Galicia" and, sure enough, there it was.
The photos are of the dancers and musicians taking part in the traditional music of the area. Galicians are Celtic, just like the Irish and Scots, so you'll see bagpipes being used as well. These are not imported from Ireland but have been in Northern Spain since before the Romans.
Today is Galicia Literature Day - who knew?
Even though I have used it from time to time I never really knew where the term "jet-black" came from. From the context I figured it meant something like "really, really black." As it turns out, "jet" is a semi-precious stone made from fossilized wood. Think coal only harder because it's been subjected to heavier pressure. Santiago is known for its silver smiths and jet smiths (?), as the attached photo indicates. Apparent, when queen Victoria's husband died, she determined that only black jewelry could be worn at court for the full year after his death. Jet came into high demand.
Travel can be so educational!
I arrived in Rome on Monday. For the next week and a half I will be with about 20 of my cousins on a pilgrimage taking in Rome and Assisi. Since I arrived a day before the main group I took advantage of the fact to do a walking tour of some of the sights. One place we visited was St. Mary of the Martyrs, more commonly known as the Pantheon. In Roman times it was a temple dedicated to all the gods. We Christians took it over and made... it into a church. It's particularly famous for the whole in its dome, which lets in sunlight (but also rain!)
In front of the Pantheon there is an obelisk with Egyptian hieroglyphics. When Rome conquered Egypt, the Romans confiscated several of these and brought them to the capital. I found it interesting that, as old as Rome is, in the middle of this ancient city there is such evidence of an even more ancient civilization.
Not far from the Pantheon is the famous Trevi fountain, which is the end of an aqueduct that carries water from the hills outside Rome into the city. Quite the popular place, as you can see!
I also was with the pope yesterday
Took part in the weekly audience in St. Peter's Square yesterday. The pope's meeting with president Trump took place right before it, so we could see the video feed on the monitors although
there was no audio to go with it.
In his weekly audience the pope talked about the "therapy of hope" which gave me plenty of food for thought.... He kissed a lot of babies, too.
Arrivederci Roma
After a visit to the Vatican Museum (see first photo) in the morning, we journied by bus to Assisi where we will spend the next 5 days. The Vatican Museum really deserves about a month's worth of visits, and preferably in the off season when the crowds are not quite so overwhelming. Some of the artwork is simply amazing. We had a guide who had her Ph.D in the art of the Renaissance, who really made everything so much more understandable.
First stop in Assisi was the Portiuncula, one of the churches St. Francis restored shortly after his conversion, and where the early friars would gather for their semi-annual meetings. It's also where he was "born to eternal life" on the evening of October 3rd, 1226. Nice view of Assisi from there.
In Assisi
We are continuing the tour of the Franciscan sites in Assisi. On Sunday we visited the church where Francis heard Christ speaking to him from the cross, "Go and rebuild my church, which you can see is falling into ruin." That crucifix still exists, although it has been moved to the church where St. Care is buried. A replica of that crucifix is behind Fr. Wayne Hellmann in the first photo. The other photo is of the interior of the church of St. Clare. Taking photos in the churches is not allowed in many places, so these areare among the few that I ws able to get.
Andalucía I arrived in Granada from Rome on Saturday. It's one of my favorite places in Europe so I couldn't imagine being over here without stopping in. Granada was the last Moorish kingdom in Spain to be retaken by the Catholic monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabela (the ones who sent Columbus on his journey in 1492). There is still a considerable amount of Moorish influence in the architecture and tile work here, especially in the Alhambra, the palace of the Moorish kings just above the city. Just around the corner from where I am staying is this 14th century building that was used as a clearinghouse for the grain market. It's the only one of its kind left in Europe. The tile work in the second photo is a beautiful example of the craftsmanship that can still be found here. In addition to it, one can find many workshops of guitar makers and artisans working in inlaid wood. It's also an area were flamenco enjoys strong support.
Last stop in Spain: Cordoba
Before I leave Spain I had to stop in Cordoba, a place I've been to before but would have regretted not visiting this time, being as close as I am. Actually, Cordoba has a long and richly varied history, beginning with the Romans who founded it, continuing with the Visigoths, who lost it to the Muslims because of their infighting, and then being reconquered some 6 centuries later by the Christian kings of Spain.
The first photo shows the Roman brid...ge which spans the Guadalquivir river and dates from the first century. There are other artifacts from the Romans as well, especially mosaics from the floors of Roman villas from the area that were only recently discovered.
The golden age of Cordoba occurred during the reign of the Muslim caliph, Abdul Rahman and his heirs from the 8th to the 10th centuries. He made Cordoba his capital and set about building a palace complex just outside the city that required the efforts of 30,000 workers to keep the place running. At the time, it was the most culturally advanced city in all of Western Europe. There's nothing but ruins there now, but one building that did survive that period was the Mezquita, the city's main mosque, which was converted into its cathedral once the Christians retook the area. Where Christians tend to think vertical when designing churches, Muslims are more oriented to a point on the compass, i.e, the direction in which Mecca lies. Their places of worship can be huge, trying to get as many people under roof as possible. The Mezquita in Cordoba is a good example. Horizontally, it just goes on and on. The pillars holding up the various sections of the roof number over 800. (See second photo).
When then Christians retook the city in the 1300s, they decided to plop a more Christian looking worship space right in the middle of the Mezquita, thus making for a bit of a hodgepodge of architectural styles. Still, the whole structure is very impressive.
One of the legacies of the Muslim period that the Chistians kept for their own was the value placed on gardens and fountains. The ones shown are from the royal palace built by the Christian monarchs, but Cordoba is full of such places, many in the courtyards of private homes. Especially in the Jewish Quarter, where the streets are hardly wide enough for a car to get through, you can see glimpses of the lush courtyards hidden behind the front gates.
Don't visit Cordoba in June, though! It's been really hot here ever since I arrived. If I didn't know better I'd think I was in San Antonio!
Visiting Ravenna
I was in Ravenna once before - in 1986. I was making a pilgrimage retreat before taking solemn vows, and one of the stops was in Ravenna. One thing that makes Ravenna special is that for a time it was the capital of the Western Romance Empire (Constantinople being the capital in the East). During those days a heresy called Arianism was quite widespread and was even practiced by members of the Imperial household. The battle between Arianism and Orthodox Christianity went back and forth and whoever was one top built and decorated churches that promoted that person's view. So, Ravenna has about 8 of these kinds of buildings, all from around 500 a.d. and all decorated in mosaics, which are unbelievable.
Last stop, Switzerland!
I arrived in Switzerland on Monday evening, using my last week in Europe to spend some time with the friars I lived with while I was a student here. After Italy the first thing that stood out was how up-to-date everything was. The trains particularly are impressive -- even the ones they use for the milk runs that stop in every town. The second thing that stood out is how expensive everything is. It's a good thing I'm staying... with the friars. Otherwise I'd have to leave after about a day.
Having a Eurail pass is a great advantage here. I can go anywhere I want because the ticket is already paid for. On Tuesday I travelled to Davos, in Eastern Switzerland, a part of the country I had never seen before. Awesome! Today I'm in Luzerne, not far from where the friars are. It's quite the tourist hub, but there are good souvenirs here

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus, implying that donors do not want much dissent from conservatives after the midterms and during the presidential primary season, vowed to call out Republicans who rip into other Republicans.
At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Friday, Priebus told reporters that there is a "very strong feeling among the grassroots and many of our donors that aren't going to put up with Republicans slicing each other apart."
After saying that "there is going to be a high level of disdain for candidates who spend their time trying to destroy other Republicans," Priebus—invoking Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment—said that he will "be less concerned about [his] own reputation and refraining from being vocal with candidates that go out of their way to simply just kill each other." Reagan's 11th Commandment centered on not making personal attacks, but establishment Republican donors—who make vicious personal attacks on and off the record against conservatives—often invoke it to try to silence dissent on policy issues. As Priebus acknowledged, that is why many of the grassroots have become fed up with establishment Republicans and campaign organizations they view as hypocritical on issues of "GOP unity." Establishment Republicans associated with the Chamber of Commerce, Karl Rove, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have all in the past year vowed to crush or destroy grassroots conservatives and the Tea Party.
Priebus also said the "people can say and do pretty much what they want," adding that he "can't control everybody's mouth." After the midterms and with a GOP-led Congress, conservatives want to again fight for the heart and soul of the party, pushing for "bold" stands against Obamacare and massive amnesty legislation.
The RNC Chair's comments demonstrate that, unlike on the left, one of the main problems on the right is that the interests of the donor class, especially on issues like bigger government and amnesty for illegal immigrants, do not align with those of the conservative base.
Priebus did say after the midterm wave that donors are "buying what we're doing and what we're selling" and will double down on the RNC's programs to identify and target new voters. The RNC Chair said that since "no nominee is going to have $100 million for a data program," the RNC will have to fill that expensive void.

Question about 1997 Buick LeSabre
I had a problem with the 1997 buick lesabre.It would stop running and takean hour to restart. With help from there I changed the crankshaft position sensor and the problem disappeared. Thank You so much, however now my engine light stays on allthe time and im hoping you have a solution to this problem. Thanx
Posted by dsnan on
The are many things that can cause your "check engine" light to stay on. One possibility is that although you have fixed the trouble code for your crankshaft position sensor, the code has not been erased from the computer's memory. Another possibility is that you have another issue going on that is causing a new trouble code to come up. You're going to need to have your car hooked up to a ODB-2 engine code reader to see what the issue is. These code readers are available for purchase at any auto parts store. In addition, many of your local auto parts stores will check trouble codes as a free service to customer. If not, many parts retailers offer the option to rent one of these code readers. Which ever way you decide to go, run a full engine/emissions trouble code check. If the only code that comes up is the code that came up previous to fixing your positioning sensor, then all you need to do is erase the trouble code from the computer's memory. (Most code readers have the option to erase trouble codes, but if you're going to rent or buy one, I would suggest that you check to make sure that the code reader that you're getting is capable of erasing trouble codes as some code readers only indicate the codes and will not remove them from your computer's memory.) If your trouble code scan reveals other codes, then you'll have to fix and erase them as they arise.
FYI- In my experience, I've noticed that 95% of the time that a check engine light/trouble code arises that it is usually an emissions problem (oxygen sensors, mass air-flow units, MAP sensors, etc.). However, General Motors products are notorious for getting trouble codes for having loose battery/ground connections and for having worn-out fuel caps. With any GM vehicle, I always check these two things first to try to save me from having to look further than I need to.
Hope this helps! I'm sure once you've scanned your cars computer and erased any existing trouble codes, that you'll stop being annoyed by your check engine light, as I know how bothersome it can be. Have a great day!

98 Buick LeSabre was running great, no problems at all. Leaving on trip, pulled out of the driveway, put car in drive and suddenly it started running rough and blew white smoke out the tailpipe. Engine will crank but will not start. All fluids are good. It won't start so can't get it to an Auto Zone for trouble codes. Any way to get them manally? Any assistance is appreciated.

During springtime, the parks and green spaces in Tokyo and around Japan come to life with colorful pink blossoms. Springtime is cherry blossom season, and for the best viewing in the city, head to Chidorigafuchi. With walkways, bridges, pavilions and boats plying the waters of the surrounding moat, there are plenty of places to view the spectacle in April when the sakura cherry trees bloom.
Located along the edge of the Imperial Palace moat, Chidorigafuchi is also home to a National Cemetery where the remains of the thousands of unknown Japanese soldiers who died in World War II were laid to rest. Early April typically represents the peak of cherry blossom season, but in the days and weeks following, it often appears to be snowing as the trees begin to drop their blossoms. Even if you can't make it during springtime, the park makes for a pleasant green escape from the city throughout the year.
