The Termite Extermination Experts Can Handle those Termites Professionally – Our house is made of almost concrete material and I never really thought that it would be infested with termites. Even if there are wood materials that were used, it is still mainly made up from concrete. One day, as I was clearing the area in our kitchen, I noticed some wood debris on the floor and when I looked closer on it to investigate I noticed some termites deep inside our cabinet.
I was deeply worried about it and was thinking that our house might have been infested with termites already. And so, I instantly made contact with the experts from the termite extermination company to help me get rid of those termites out from our house completely. I don't want those termites to be staying in our house for any longer.
The Termite Extermination Experts Can Handle those Termites Professionally
Good thing that I have discovered those termites before they have created greater damages in the house. It would be a very big problem if our house would be infested with termites. Those termites are very destructive in nature and they won't stop until your house is completely deteriorated. I have to make sure that our house is fully safe and protected against termites and only the experts from the termite extermination services can do that.
Right after calling the experts from the termite extermination company, they were very punctual and had arrived in our house instantly. They have the most reliable equipments and tools that could effectively eradicate those termites away from our house. Additionally, with the chemical compounds that they were using, I'm confidently sure that those termites will be exterminated right away from their hiding place. They assured us that those chemical compounds were completely safe for the human beings and to our pets. That's the advantage of hiring the termite extermination experts. They really know what they were doing and were very accurate in handling those termites professionally.
I let the experts from the termite extermination services to inspect the whole house and fumigate it against termite infestation. They were really good in doing their job and I was very impressed with their ways and means to fully exterminate those termites out from our house. They were known to be very good in handling those termites away that is why I trusted them in handling my termite problems at home.
With their trainings and ability to get rid of those termites out from their hiding place professionally, I know that I could get fully satisfied with their services in handling those termites away. They were very skillful in handling those termite problems and assured that those termites won't be back again to bother us. Additionally their service charge is very reasonable.

1999 Lexus SC 300 Coupe 2dr Coupe
I have had this car for almost 14 years and it has 250,000 miles on it.I love it and so many people have stopped me for years to see if they could buy it.Of course, I said "no".If only Lexus would make a car similar to this SC, I would buy it in a flash.The sports car that they came up with to replace it is too small and too expensive.The IS in my opinion is no comparison at all. This car has "class" and is a dream to drive.I hate giving it up.I am looking hard now to find something that I absolutely love and it is hard.Most of the cars all look alike.I am considering the Audi S5...it is closest in look and seems to have what I like.I would rather drive the Lexus though!
Style; Power; Sleek.
A car for anyone (even younger crowds want it).
Has 250,000 miles and still running great and looks great in black.
Only thing missing is larger glove box but most cars have small compartments.
I just purchased a 1999 SC300 with 141k for a steal. I always thought these cars were nice but WOW. Now that I own one it is amazing the attention I get (and Enjoying every bit of it!!!). I took it to my mechanic and everything checks out, we are working to get her back in top form. After having the Black Exterior buffed out, it has restored a beautiful deep luster. Seats fit like a glove. Stereo is AWESOME!!!Lexus you have won me over. :-)
My favorite things are the AWESOME stereo with it's DEEP TIGHT BASS. The bright Illuminated instrumentation and the styling. I walk to the parking lot and instead of a boxy old 4 Dr. I now have a sleek coupe that has better styling than half the cars on the road today. I also love the gated shifter, really makes the car feel high-end. Oh, forgot to mention one of the best features of all. The ETC Power switch. Flip that bad boy and the car turns into a Ferrari. It's a feature that lets the engine shift and perform more sporty and aggressively. I LOVE IT!!!!!
So basically everything is my favorite can't you tell :-)
Model was changed in 02. Love this one just the way it is. :-)
This is the most fun car I have ever
driven. I have owned mustangs, vettes,
and other cars, but this one takes the
cake. Never had any mechanical problems
and it just looks stylish. Classy at
the club and sporty on the highway.
During a period of "unemployment", I decided to try my hand at selling cars. I was sold on the quality and vowed that I would one day own one. I got back into my previous career field and bought not one - but TWO Lexus (Lexi ??). My SC 300 is without a doubt the most luxurious car I've ever owned. It drives like a dream and hasn't been in the shop for anything other than recommended scheduled maintenance. The styling is distinctive and it is a pleasure to drive!!
Exterior styling and the interior comforts.
I would have preferred an in-dash 6-CD player, with an option for a single CD in addition to the 6 CD cartridge; a manual transmission would have made it even more fun to drive

NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Jose Mourinho tripped up again at St. James' Park as his Manchester United team was surprisingly beaten 1-0 by Newcastle on Sunday for a second loss in its last three Premier League games.
Matt Ritchie's 65th-minute goal — following a free kick awarded for a dive by United defender Chris Smalling — gave Newcastle a victory that lifted it out of the relegation zone.
It is now seven Premier League matches without a win at Newcastle's ground for Mourinho, who lost three and drew three there across two stints in charge of Chelsea.
More importantly for the Portuguese coach, second-placed United wasted a chance to pull clear of its rivals for Champions League qualification, with Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea still in range. Manchester City, which beat Leicester 5-1 on Saturday, holds a 16-point lead with 11 games left.
Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka had a Premier League debut to remember, saving brilliantly in the first half from Anthony Martial, in the final seconds from Michael Carrick, and looking assured as United piled on the pressure in the second half.
Alexis Sanchez delayed his shot in front of an open goal and saw his effort blocked, while Martial also had two efforts blocked near the goal line by Dwight Gayle.
"They fought like animals," Mourinho said.
"They gave their lives to keep a clean sheet," he added. "It was not only them, but the gods in football."
Newcastle had barely troubled United — except for an early long-range shot by the impressive Jonjo Shelvey that was tipped aside by goalkeeper David De Gea — until the goal.
Smalling lost possession and then dived, thinking Shelvey was about to challenge him. The defender was given a yellow card and, from the resulting free kick, Shelvey's cross was nodded down, Gayle deftly flicked the ball to the incoming Ritchie, who stroked a left-footed finish into the corner for his first goal of the season off his 44th shot.
"For whatever reason we weren't good enough," United defender Phil Jones said. "Ultimately, we have conceded a sloppy goal. The lads are devastated in the dressing room."

WICKENBURG - Aaron Levels held a green viewing tray up to his eyes, studying what looked like a tadpole squirming in an inch or so of water.
The possible tadpole had most recently squirmed in the Hassayampa River, which cut a quiet path under a footbridge where a group of sixth-graders panned the shallow water like riparian prospectors searching for aquatic life and, perhaps, higher marks.
"It has a tail ... no shell ... no legs," he said, reciting from a checklist that guided the students through an exercise no classroom could duplicate.
"It looks like a leech," another classmate suggested. What they sought was proof for their theory that rivers support the widest range of riparian life, a premise that emerged from a water-education program offered at a growing number of Valley schools.
Tracy Thunem, Aaron's teacher at Ryan Elementary School in Chandler, consulted a laminated chart and eyed the specimen, listening as another student wondered if it might be a midge pupa. Thunem leaned toward the tadpole, but either way, it was better-received than the spiders from the first scoop of sediment.
"Hey, guys," said Chris Gammage, standing in the river, his feet and legs protected by oversize wading boots. "I think I got something here."
For the rest of the morning, Thunem's students and about 100 others from Ryan and cross-town neighbor Frye Elementary School conducted their own investigation at the Hassayampa River Preserve, an area maintained by the Nature Conservancy just off U.S. 60.
Wednesday's field day was part of a yearlong water-education program developed by the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension. The program is designed to help students learn about water, from its source in rivers and aquifers, to the taps in their homes and schools. More than 10,000 Valley students will participate this year in the classroom lessons, which are linked to state education standards, including reading, writing, math, science and social studies.
About 1,800 of those students will participate in field days like the one, traveling to the source of the water they have studied to make a connection with the natural environment, a living riparian system. The students test theories they devised during classroom study, such as the difference between the ecology of streams and lakes, how sediment affects water quality, and how streamflow shapes a river.
"The idea of the field trip itself is they see the value of water in the natural environment," said Kerry Schwartz, director of Arizona Project WET, the UA education program. "They see this place is different. And it's different because there's water, and where there's water, there's more life."
Project WET began as a way to train teachers in water education (thus the acronym: water education for teachers). Nearly 7,000 teachers have completed the training since the program began in 2000, adding to their curriculum lessons in rivers, groundwater and water conservation, along with activities like home water-use audits. The training is funded by contributions from state agencies, cities and counties, water providers such as Salt River Project and the Central Arizona Project and a handful of private sources.
The students put their knowledge to work in some instances. At St. David Elementary School in Cochise County, seventh-graders studying water use figured out that the school could save nearly 100,000 gallons a year by installing faucet aerators, a suggestion adopted by the school board.
As classroom instruction evolved, the desire to take students to the water grew. Last year, with money from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, UA tested a pilot program with five teachers. That led to a grant from the Nature Conservancy and the resources to expand across metropolitan Phoenix.
"A lot of folks don't necessarily make that connection of where the water comes from," said Pat Graham, state director for the non-profit conservancy. "Part of our program is to help raise awareness of the important role our rivers provide and importance of keeping those rivers healthy."
The group's own "Wild About Water" program fit well with Project WET, Graham said, "and the appeal of working with Project WET is they've developed an in-school curriculum that's very sound."
This year, the schools program was divided into three sections: where water comes from, how people in urban Arizona use it and how that water connects to its natural systems.
"We were looking for critical-thinking skills, to get the kids thinking creatively, being able to communicate," Schwartz said. "We got them to design their own question and then figure out a way to go out and answer the question. The trip was out there waiting the whole time."
The question Tracy Thunem's group came up with was whether macroinvertebrate life would flourish more in a stream or in a lake. Macroinvertebrates are life forms without a backbone that are visible without a microscope.
The group's working theory was that such life would do better in streams because of the added oxygen from flowing water. The Hassayampa preserve offered the flowing water of a river and a small riparian lake, or cienega, not far from the riverbed.
Students collected samples at the river first, comparing specimens with the chart and noting what they found on a data log. Then, they moved to Palm Lake. Mackenzie Bell donned the waders and walked a few feet into the water, scooping up the first sample of water and sediment.
Tristan Phuong used a net on a long pole to stir the water and gather another sample, and the group then began sifting through the sediment with plastic spoons, calling out for the viewer when they found a new specimen.
Amber Luc stood by with a clipboard as the teacher and students analyzed what they found.
"Does it have a backbone?"
"No backbone."
"Does it have legs?"
"It does have legs."
"I think we have a mayfly larvae," Thunem said at one point. Tristan and Aaron found a water strider, known for its long legs and ability to skim the surface of water.
"We learned that there are qualifications for a riparian area to be healthy," Thunem said as the students finished their survey of the lake. "One of those is the number of macroinvertebrates. They chose this as their experiment."
Once back at school, the groups will compare notes on aquatic life, water quality and other topics investigated and then produce a presentation for a water symposium in May. Program organizers hope to expand it further next year.
Graham said the program offers other benefits for urban students who often never get a chance to see a river this close.
"It's one thing to talk about conserving water and using it the right way," he said. "To see it is quite another. We're showing them the importance of rivers not only in providing water for them, but that they're sharing it with a whole host of other creatures."
Chris Gammage, a sixth-grader at Ryan Elementary School in Chandler, tries to identify a small creature he netted in the Hassayampa River, where students ran experiments as part of a water-education program.

Got this email from a muso mate today:
"There's just been a TV report that Bob Dylan has been approached by a GPS manufacturer to consider being the voice of their sat nav system. They had a snippet of Bobby commenting on his radio show which went something like "Imagine my voice saying, "Turn right at the next street ... no, left ... better still, why not go straight?"
Or, perhaps they will build on the concept and extend it out to all the genres of pop culture, so that before you leave home, you can pre-programme the emotional and aesthetic return route you have in mind.
So, if you're heading on out for a bit of lay-lady-lay, you can select the Bob Dylan version of your 'direction home'.
If you take into account the whole Dylan backlist - there's no need for him to record anything - it's already there!
I'm looking for Dylan directions here -
I bags the start up statement, when you turn the GPS on and try to find the ignition...
Where have you been my blue eyed son?

The Rifleman in Space: A Return to Deep Space Nine
Over the years, I have watched many good and some not-so-good science fiction television shows. Among my favorites are the various Star Trek shows (some I enjoyed more than others but I liked all of the various series), Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica (new series), Doctor Who, Torchwood and others. But, my personal favorite has always been Star Trek: Deep Space 9. It appeared on our local CBS station at 11:30 PM on Saturday nights. The rest of the family was in bed and I would settle in to watch the show.
In recent years, I have faithfully watched numerous shows but DS9 still holds a special place in my heart. So I thought, why not go back, re-watch the episodes, and review them here? My plan is to post a review on each Saturday. I am also reading the "Star Trek Deep Space Nine Companion" by Terry J. Erdmann and Paula M. Block. It provides interesting behind the scenes insights.
In late 1991 Brandon Tartikoff, the head of Paramount Pictures, came to Rick Berman with an idea for a new Star Trek series that would run at the same time as Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first year and a half. Then it would be the only Star Trek series. Since Gene Roddenberry pitched the original Star Trek as "Wagon Train in Space", Tartikoff decided the new series could be "The Rifleman in Space". It would be built around a father and his son living in a frontier town. Berman enlisted Michael Piller to help develop the concept. Since the other Star Trek series focused on spaceships, they decided to have the new series take place on a space station. This would enable them to show the consequences of the characters actions since they would stay in the same place. One of their main themes was commitment. The planet Bajor just won it's freedom from the Cardassian occupation. The station, Deep Space Nine, was evacuated by the Cardassians and now would be run by a combined Federation/Bajorian team. In January of 1993 it debuted.
The Crew
Benjamin Sisko: A Starfleet officer placed in charge of Deep Space 9.
Kira Nerys: A Bajoran militia officer who is the second in command of the station.
Odo: A mysterious shape shifting changling who does not know his origins. He is the security officer.
Julian Bashir: Chief medical officer. He can to the station looking for a challenge.
Jadzia Dax: Chief science officer. The Trills are a symbiote race. This is Dax's seventh host. One of the previous hosts, Curzon, was a womanizing friend of Sisko's.
Miles O'Brien: Chief operations officer. Miles was originally on Star Trek: The Next Generation and transferred to Deep Space Nine.
Jake Sisko: son of Benjamin.
Quark: The Ferengi owner of the bar. Sisko forces him to stay and keep the bar open when other shop owners are leaving.
Many other characters will join the cast. Over time some will leave. I will cover that when I do the episode reviews.

A great series. I watched the whole thing just a year or two ago. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. I'm watching Voyager right now, but it's just not as good.

Oh also I wanted to mention that I've been meaning to get a copy of the Deep Space Nine Companion for years, but it's been too expensive on Amazon whenever I've got the money, so I am very jealous. :)

Cool idea! Deep Space 9, which I watched in its entirety for the first time only a handful of years back, is one of my favorite series of television ever created. From start to finish I was hooked. Although every Star Trek series had its inevitable blah episodes, I liked these characters so much that I didn't care. Each episode was a chance to spend more time with them and I loved that. I felt such a sadness when it all ended. Lately though I've been going back and starting to slowly work my way through the series again. It is just too good not to.

I'm waiting for DEEP SPACE 9 to show up in Blu-ray. DS9 is the best of the STAR TREK franchises.

Imagine Robert Ingersoll's hurt and humiliation last month when his local florist refused to do the flower arrangements for his wedding to Curt Freed, his partner of nine years.
As longtime customers of Arlene's Flowers and Gifts in Richland, Wash., Ingersoll and Freed had mistakenly assumed that shop owner Barronelle Stutzman would be happy to provide the service.
But also imagine the pain Stutzman felt at having to turn down a friend and neighbor.

Q. Why did you decide to come to law school?
I decided to come to law school for two reasons. First, I am absolutely in love with the law. I've always been fascinated with how the law affects all spectrums of society and how the law is instrumental in shaping public policy. Second, I've always wanted to work in a field where you have the opportunity to really help people. Therefore, I was excited about the opportunities a law degree gives you in public service.
How did you choose Wisconsin?
The thing that really brought me to Wisconsin was its reputation for law in action. I had a friend who graduated from Wisconsin a couple years earlier and he told me, "Wisconsin doesn't just produce great law students, it produces great lawyers." I was drawn to the many possible clinics that take you away from the theoretical exercise of the classroom to the realities of the court room.
How has Wisconsin's law-in-action philosophy influenced your legal education?
It has drastically influenced my legal education. The Criminal Appeals Project gave me the opportunity to have real clients, to talk to someone about their problems and to listen to their needs. But even in the traditional courses, professors go out of their way to give you a real world perspective about that particular field of the law. For example, my property professor, Thomas Mitchell, brought in an eminent domain lawyer to explain to the class the world of eminent domain from a lawyer's perspective.
You've participated in the Mock Trial and Moot Court Program. Why did that interest you?
I love to argue. Point Blank. I idolize the old days where lawyers like Clarence Darrow would do a closing for three days. Though the days of three-day closings are surely gone, participating in Moot Court and Mock Trial gives me the opportunity to use my passion for persuasion.
What has been your favorite law school class or professor? Why?
My favorite law school class would have to be a tie between Constitutional Law and International Law. As a history and English major in college, I appreciate learning about how much history plays a part in the development of law. Both classes demonstrated how realities shaped the interpretation and creation of constitutions and international bodies.
Has there been a law school experience that was particularly important or meaningful for you?
Being a semi-finalist in the Omar Megahed oral argument competition was very meaningful. Receiving the opportunity to argue at the chambers of the Wisconsin Supreme Court was something I never imagined before coming to law school.
What did you do during the summers of your first and second years of law school? How did you get those jobs?
The summer after my first year of law school I interned with the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda. I applied and was accepted before law school, but was allowed to defer the internship until the summer after my first year of school. (They probably thought I would be more useful then anyway.)
For my second summer of law school, I applied and was accepted in the Honors Program of the United States Department of Justice. The program sends your initial application to the different divisions of the DOJ and then the divisions select the students for further applications and interviews. The Civil Rights Division contracted me and, after an interview, selected me as one of their summer honors interns.
Your Skadden Fellowship work with the Mississippi Center for Justice sounds fascinating. What have you done in your first year in that position?
I have been busy working on two major projects for the Center. First, I've been working with a senior attorney to get municipalities to adopt ordinances regulating payday lending. Mississippi allows one of the highest interest rates in the country for small-dollar, short-term loans -- 572%. The Center has been unable to get the state to reform this industry because of the strong lobbying efforts put forth by the payday lenders, so this fall we started approaching municipalities with the problem. Mississippi has the highest number of payday lenders per capita of any state, and many of the municipalities recognized the economic and business damage caused by this industry, so they support temporary moratoriums on new stores. Second, I have been putting together a business plan for a sustainable alternative to payday lending, as well as reaching out to potential stakeholders in this area. There is a unique opportunity for banks and credit unions to collaborate with public sector unions, associations, and private business to offer better loan options for consumers. The Mississippi Center for Justice believes this opportunity can combat the popularity of payday lending on the demand side.

Cole's is a place that stands out in Napa Valley for having some of the best steaks around. We personally love the atmosphere of the restaurant as well and how great it is. Our personal favorite dish is the Black Angus Ribeye steak that we love to sink our teeth into.
5. Morimoto Napa @MorimotoNapa -
Morimoto is a great name if you love Japanese food. Most people recognize the name with the Iron Chef and they are not disappointed when they eat here. Our favorite dish is the braised octopus that we have not had taste this good since we were in Japan.
4. Long Meadow Ranch @LMRwine -
The farm to table trend is great and here at Long Meadow Ranch you get fresh foods all the time and on top of that the dishes are prepared perfectly. Our favorite dish from here is the California Arborio Rice.
3. Bottega @ChefChiarello -
Bottega is another Italian restaurant in Napa Valley. However, it is more along the lines of the rustic or traditional style that we see all over the place. We do love the celebrity chef owner though and our favorite menu item is the Ricotta Gnocchi della Nonna.
2. Allegria @NapaAllegria -
Allegria is a great Italian restaurant that we absolutely love in Napa Valley. This place has it going for it from the atmosphere to the food we love it. Our favorite dish Cappellini Pomodoro with the free range chicken added in.
1. Napa Valley Bistro @NVBistro -
This is a great location that is trendy, hip, and has a modern American cuisine type of menu that is to die for. The menu is even very light and refreshing as well. Our favorite dish from the Napa Valley Bistro is the Kobe Flat Iron Steak, which is prepared perfectly for our taste buds.

Early Staffordshire Child's Transferware Plate
Staffordshire England c. 1850
This rare child's transferware plate dates to c1850. This plate measures just 5" in diameter with a scalloped rim. It is transfer printed in black, with pearlware glaze and a press mouded flower border design. The central image is a naive depiction of a boy scarfing down his Christmas pudding which he is eating by candlelight. Great detailing, with a bib around his neck and his cheeks puffed out.
The maker is not known but the plate was made was most definitely made in the Staffordshire region of England in the early to mid 1800s. It is unmarked except for an impressed tally mark.
The plate is in great condition with a tight age line at 12 o'clock, visible only upon close examination. No other cracks chips or repairs. Glaze ponding original to the making. The naive image is delightful, a throwback to a much simpler time. It is amazing that this plate was made for a child so long ago! Offered as is.
Mugs and plates like this were made as gifts for good children and rewards of merit, used to aid in children's education and moral training, and to encourage their imaginations in the 19th century. A lovely addition to your ABC transferware collection and a great gift for Christmas!

The Opposition parties are likely to meet President Pranab Mukherjee today evening at around 7 PM over the demonetisation issue and the way income tax amendment bill, which was passed in Lok Sabha on Tuesday. It was passed by the government on the day, in the middle protest an income tax amendment bill to facilitate levy of 60 per cent tax on undisclosed income.
As per a report by the IANS, Opposition parties which are likely to meet the president include Congress, CPI, CPI(M), BSP, Trinamool Congress, Samajwadi party and others. These parties are staging protests in the Parliament over the issue of demonetisation since the beginning of the winter session on November 16.
The Taxation Laws (Second Amendment) Bill, 2016, was passed in the Lower House of the Parliament as the Opposition protested and raised slogans against the Centre. As per the Bill, the declarant is required to pay a tax of 60 percent and an extra surcharge of 25 per cent of the tax, resulting in a total tax component of 75 percent.
While moving the bill for consideration, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley called it one of the steps by the Centre to curb the menace of black money.
Both Houses of the Parliament are seeing regular adjournments as the Government and the Opposition spur over the issue of demonetisation. While the Opposition said that the prime minister should issue a statement, as common and innocent citizens are facing tough time after the demonetisation, standing on long queues in ATMs and banks, the Government insist that let there be a discussion on the issue and the PM would definitely speak.

In the 1990s, five important historic buildings in Canandaigua were refurbished from their original use. This set an important precedent for the City of Canandaigua, as older structures were no longer looked at as structures to be demolished but as buildings to be renewed for the future. The following pictorial article shows each structure as it looked in the early 1900s and how it looks today.
1. The Erina Hose Fire Station on Niagara Street was constructed in 1873. After the City of Canandaigua built its new fire station on South Main Street, this building was sold in 1990 to a local developer/investor who renovated it for a local business. It was sold again in 1993 and is now the home of Angelic Dreamz.
2. The Merrill Hose Fire Station on Phoenix Street was constructed in 1876. It too was abandoned after the City of Canandaigua built its new fire station on South Main Street. Since 1992, it has been the home of Nadal Glass.
3. The original Thompson Hospital on North Main Street was erected in 1903-1904 and opened in 1904. In 1972, it was purchased by Ontario County to house several county offices. In 1994, it was acquired by the Rural Housing Action Corporation and is currently home to the Thompson Apartments and Cooperative.
4. The second Canandaigua Academy on North Main Street was erected in 1905-1906 and opened in 1907. The Canandaigua City School District closed this building and moved grades 7 and 8 from this building to the Middle School on Granger Street in 1991. In 1996, it was purchased by Conifer Realty and is currently home to the Fort Hill Apartments and the Thompson Brighter Day Program.
5. The former United States Post Office on North Main Street was erected in 1910-1912 and opened in 1912. It was closed in 1992 when the U.S. Post Office opened its new facility on Eastern Boulevard. In 1994, the YMCA, located next door, purchased the property and opened its first expansion in 1995.

Orioles fans, your time has finally come.
Who's had it tougher than you the past 14 years? The Backstreet Boys? You watched so much bad baseball you almost forgot what good baseball looked like.
Season after season, it felt as if the Orioles were out of the race by Arbor Day. You watched the parade of mediocre players, over-matched managers and timid front office types come and go, took all that abuse from your out-of-town friends, and wondered if it would ever get better.

Biodiesel Buyer's Guide
As the price of petrol diesel continues to skyrocket, smart consumers are turning to Biodiesel as the most cost-effective, environmentally-friendly alternative diesel fuel available today. Northern Tools Biodiesel Buyers Guide will give you all the information you need to effectively and affordably process, filter and pump your own Biodiesel fuel at a fraction of the cost of what you're paying for fuel now, without the need for expensive engine conversion.
What is Biodiesel Fuel?
Derived from natural oils, Biodiesel is a domestic, renewable fuel for diesel engines. It is registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is legal for use in any concentration with petroleum-based diesel fuel, for the operation of both highway and non-road diesel vehicles.
Contrary to popular belief, Biodiesel is not simply raw vegetable oil, but motor fuel made from any vegetable oil (such as soybean oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, or recycled cooking oils) or animal fats, by means of a chemical process which removes the glycerin from the oil. The refining process, called esterification, employs an industrial alcohol (ethanol or methanol) and a catalyst (a substance which enables a chemical reaction) to convert the oil into a fatty-acid methyl ester fuel.
Biodiesel is a fuel for any diesel engine. It is made from natural oils rather than petroleum. Biodiesel performs similarly to regular diesel fuel and can be used with no modifications to the diesel engine or the vehicle. Biodiesel offers huge advantages, but like any fuel has some limitations. It is affected by cold weather to a greater extent than diesel fuel and typically delivers 2 to 3 percent lower fuel mileage.
Bottom Line: If It Runs On Diesel, It Will Run On Biodiesel.
What are the Advantages of Biodiesel?
Farmers, truck drivers and even everyday commuters are discovering the advantages of Biodiesel.
Smoother Running Engine. Biodiesel has a much higher lubricity (i.e., lubricating quality) than diesel fuel. That means a smoother running engine, cleaner fuel injection components and a longer engine life. And with a cetane rating that is substantially higher than petrol diesel, Biodiesel leaves minimal carbon deposits in your engine.
Dramatic Cost Savings. Biodiesel produced by an individual costs substantially less than petrol diesel fuel—often as little as $0.85 per gallon! What's more, an individual who invests in the necessary equipment to produce their own Biodiesel, can see a return on investment in as little as three months.
Renewable Resource. Unlike fuel made from a finite resource such as crude oil, Biodiesel is made from renewable organic resources that can be re-grown, reproduced and reused. As such, it also reduces our dependency on crude oil.
Decreased Environmental Impact. Across the board, Biodiesel is widely accepted as a superior green alternative fuel. Because it burns significantly cleaner than petrol diesel, it is nearly carbon neutral and non-toxic, reducing carbon lifecycle emissions by 78%. That's equivalent to removing 700,000 cars from the nations highways. Additionally, Biodiesel reduces emissions of carbon monoxide, particulate matter (PM), and sulfates, as well as hydrocarbon and air toxics emissions.
Easy To Make. With the proper equipment, producing Biodiesel fuel is easy--easier by far than watching the sharp increase in costs at the pump every time you need to fill your tank.
What Equipment Do I Need to Make Biodiesel Fuel?
Safety Gear: Because you'll be using chemicals to refine your oil, you should always be sure you're wearing protective safety gear before starting the process. Safety goggles, gloves, protective apron and boots are essential.
Chemicals: The Biodiesel fuel-making process requires methanol, sulfuric acid and catalyst along with air-tight storage containers for each.
Biodiesel Processor: The processor converts the oil into Biodiesel fuel. Consider purchasing a well-known, trusted brand such as Fleet BioDiesel, Inc.
Fuel Filter: The fuel filter works to filter and remove water from the fuel. Because initial use of Biodiesel can release deposits previously accumulated on tank walls and pipes, it's recommended that the fuel filter be changed after the first tank of Biodiesel.
Fuel Pump: The fuel pump provides safe, efficient transfer of the fuel to your engine. Consider models that are heavy duty with thermal overload protection, strainer and automatic nozzle for easy fuel transfer.
Fuel Pre-heaters: A Biodiesel fuel can sometimes gel, either due to cold temperatures or because it's been produced from heavily saturated fats such as waste oil from restaurants. Fuel pre-heaters work to effectively keep Biodiesel from solidifying.
Biocides: Biocides are an additive designed to stop the growth of microorganisms in your fuel, thus helping preserve the life of stored Biodiesel.
Synthetic Polymer Fuel Lines: The solvent properties of Biodiesel can result in a slow degradation of rubber fuel lines over the course of months and sometimes years. Therefore, it is beneficial to use Synthetic Polymer Fuel Lines when it comes time for replacement.

RAGHAV Vicky Kaushal in demandGlamsham Editorial
Vicky Kaushal is definitely making his presence felt. The actor stunned the audiences with his earnest performance last year in the movie, MASAAN and soon the actor right from his debut has intrigued and caught the fancy of several filmmakers up with RAMAN RAGHAV 2.0 in which too he holds up his ground and delivers a great act.
The young talented fella has been approached for an array of films and is currently in the process of finalizing his new few projects we hear. Soon after he was roped in for an Aanand L Rai production and then went onto being signed by Bejoy Nambiar. Currently buzz is strong that he's also been considered for Bhansali's next. We hear the actor may be shooting as many 4 new projects with big league directors this year. This for sure is an impressive deal.
Speaking about it, a source discloses, 'Vicky has been meeting several filmmakers and there are some amazing announcements underway. It would be a rather interesting coming months for him and he's prepping himself for it as we go along.'
Indeed the actor is going great guns

1.) I have a barchart with vertical bars. Data is added to my chart in the elapsed event of a timer. When I add a new bar to the chart I want it placed on the right side. As new bars are added, I want existing bars to be pushed to the left. How do I do this please? I tried setting HorizontalAlignment and HorizontalContentAlignment on both the BarSeries and the Horizontal axis but neither works.
2.) I want to set the width of each bar. I am using GapLength at the moment to make the bars narrower but it does not work as the number of bars added to the chart increases. More specifically, I want to set the width of each bar and the space between them i.e. margin to some fixed amount and fill the chart from the right as described above.

You've probably worked out by now that at least 50% of my cooking is improvised. This is no different, we had wholemeal flour in so that's what got used and let me tell you, it worked. These biscuits are delicious.
Britt's Chocolate Christmas Biscuits
You will need:
- Wholemeal flour (but like I said, that's just what I had in, plain will do fine) - 300 grams
- Caster Sugar - 150 grams
- Butter - 250 grams (that's a full block)
- Cocoa Powder - 40 grams (roughly)
- Baking Powder - 2 teaspoons
For the topping:
- Dark Chocolate - 150 grams
- Baileys - 2 tablespoons (give or take) - optional
- Cinnamon - a dash
- Icing Sugar - very little
- White Writing Icing (totally optional and difficult to control at that)
Put the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment.
Put the sugar and butter into the largest mixing bowl you can find and cream them together, then add the cocoa powder and do it again. When they're all combined rub in the flour and baking powder. The mixture will turn to crumbs, gradually gather it into a solid ball. If you find the mixture is too crumbly to stick together you can add a tablespoon or two of milk (it's unlikely you'll need much if any). If you've got one of those snazzy food processors or kitchen aids skip most of this step and dump the butter, flour, sugar and cocoa butter into the thing all at once but realise you're removing the joy from it. I could just be jealous of your kitchen gadgetry.
Pull off a small ball at a time and squish slightly as you place them on the baking tray. I recently got some shape cutters, don't get excited, they're just circles, so I actually pushed the mixture flat (I don't have a rolling pin yet) and used the shape cutter, then repeated until I was all out of the mixture.
You'll probably get 12 biscuits per a tray, cook them for 15 minutes. Leave them to stand for 15 minutes (you can use this time to cook the next batch as this recipe makes roughly 40 biscuits) on a cold surface or cooling rack.
Once you've got all the biscuits you want and they're nicely cooled it's time to start on the topping. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water. Add the Baileys (optional but encouraged), cinnamon and icing sugar, I won't tell you how much, this depends entirely on your preference but use the icing sugar to get the texture slightly gloopy and spreadable rather than a runny mess. Spread the chocolate Baileys mix on to the top of the biscuits and leave to set, this can take a while depending on how boozy you went. You can also attempt to draw snowflakes with writing icing at this stage but it's not a deal breaker.
Now eat one.
Now another.
Now another.

IronPython: A .NET Python
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: PC / Laptop, Software
The Python programming language has been around for a while now and has grown in popularity along with the PHP language. Now Microsoft has an alpha release of Python variation for the .NET Platform. According to the site:
It supports an interactive interpreter with fully dynamic compilation. It is well integrated with the rest of the framework and makes all .NET libraries easily available to Python programmers.
It will be interesting to see what comes from this.

I enjoy photography. Despite the fact I'm not a professional I tend to make my photos look better than just occasional snapshots. Many people might think such photos are mainly useless and don't tell any story. But I think they can ring a tiny bell inside, especially the first one.
Hey, does anyone love marmite? :)

From the Matins of Holy Tuesday:
Behold O my soul! The Master entrusts to you a talent. Receive the gift with fear; lend to Him who gave it; distribute to the poor, and gain the Lord as a Friend; that you may stand on His right, when He comes in glory, and hear His blessed voice: "Enter, O servant, into the joy of Your Lord!" In Your great Mercy, O Savior, deem me, who has strayed, worthy of this joy.
