Singapore Photos 2015 - River Safari, Sentosa Island, Raffles Hotel
We had to go visit the River Safari so my mother could see the Pandas (why there are so many photos of them). Another day we visited Sentosa Island. This was a very hazy day so couldn't see much, hence not many photos. Even the lookout was closed. Mum also had to go back to Raffles Hotel (after about 40 years) so she could have her Singapore Sling drink.

switch is located in the hub around 250 metres away from pc the network connection is required
Without any information on the situation it is not possible to provide meaningful answer. 250 metres distance means little without details. Is this in an urban or rural environment? Are there any buildings in line of sight? Is it private or public land between the two points? What kind of budget? Is there a phone/internet connection available at the PC?
Fiber-optic cable with appropriate nodes at each end would be one cabling option since CAT5 or CAT6 cable is limited to 100 metres, unless you can install powered boosters along the way. Either way would be expensive and only practical if you have right of access to run the cable.
Wireless using directional antennas might be an answer but again the topography and regulations governing transmitter power may preclude this. If internet is available at both ends then VPN might be your answer and speaking to your ISP/phone company would be a good place to start.
There is no "one-size-fits-all" answer and on the info you have given any answer is a guess.

Sam and I attended and each had the pleasure of speaking at WOMMA's Word of Mouth Marketing Summit & Research Symposium event earlier this week in Washington, D.C. Over three days, WOMMA members and industry thought leaders presented on a range of topics and shared pioneering research and WOM case studies. On Monday, I presented our whitepaper, "Ratings, Reviews & ROI", and on Tuesday, Sam presented tips (supported by several hilarious photos) on how to get your organization to embrace word of mouth, both bottom-up and top-down.
Having attended WOMMA's first research-focused event, Measuring Word of Mouth, back in July 2005, it is truly amazing to see firsthand how successful the organization has been in bringing executives, marketers, and technologists together to share WOM strategies, case studies, and lessons learned. WOMMA now boasts over 300 members, and these companies are helping to shape the discipline of word of mouth marketing. WOMMA's phenomenal growth is definitely an indicator of a larger industry trend, one that we write about often on Bazaarblog – the gradual but inevitable shift of marketing strategies and budgets towards more customer-centric, even customer-generated, messaging and focus. If you aren't a member of WOMMA, please consider joining. I would personally love to see more participation from direct marketers and retailers.
In addition, I also want to bring your attention to WOMMA's second volume of WOM research papers and case studies, Measuring Word of Mouth, Volume 2. The book is "WOM University" in printed form, containing 20 original papers from WOM practicioners and leading companies in the space. I'm happy to say that "Ratings, Reviews & ROI" is included! If you are interested in just our whitepaper, you can obtain a version of it by request from our website at "Ratings, Reviews & ROI" whitepaper but I highly recommend that you read up on what other WOMMA member companies are doing to advance the practice of ethical word of mouth marketing.

#pieandbooze #recap
So, last Thursday evening, we hosted 13 fun-loving people for a night of pie and booze at PJP Buttonwood. We taught our guests to make their own PJP baby apple pie from scratch. Our friend Van from Dogmaster Distillery (http://www.dogmasterdistillery.com) shared bartending skills galore and then whipped up the most delicious cocktail EV-AH. It was an epic amount of fun and by the end of this post, you'll unquestionably want to attend our next event. Unless you don't like pie or booze, and then this is probably the wrong blog for you anyway. We set up each person with a rolling pin, a mixing bowl, a spatula, a ball of dough, a container of peeled apples, and a baby pie tin. Each table shared a large bowl of flour and sugar and smaller containers of nutmeg and cinnamon.
Jeanne launched into her feelings about pie dough and rolling techniques and quickly everyone was flouring their table space and rolling their dough like long-term experts.
Before long, each person had rolled and mixed and stirred and fluted and we had trays of baby pies ready for the oven.
While the pies baked, we got to the part of the evening that I had been anticipating all week...cocktail hour. Van brought all of his supplies (including real bar glasses, which may have stolen my heart forever). He started his part of the evening by giving us each a shot of vodka made from his still at his St. James Street location...(this completely made me re-think our intro at these sorts of events...perhaps we need more of a hook).
Van taught us all to make a Cloud 9 cocktail...which is a creamy, coffee, holy-crap-it-is-really-freaking-delicious sort of drink. I'll leave the secrets of this cocktail to Van and my 13 new #pieandbooze friends, but I can't help but add that he garnishes the glass with chocolate sauce...which is basically just the glitter of the cocktail world, in that it makes everything instantly better.
And then we each got to practice our new skills by whipping up our own drink.
Jeanne and I exercised extreme restraint by making and drinking one cocktail each, though we secretly wanted three. Or five.
We took copious notes on the preparation of this drink and Jeanne has asked me no less than 11 times since Thursday if I know what I did with our notes and when do I plan to whip up a batch to keep in our refrigerator. And in the best news ever, Dogmaster Distillery will offer their vodka for sale in the next few weeks. Is it wrong that I asked Van to Tweet me when it was ready?

Sachin Tendulkar has been part of many a campaigns for social change, be it the crusade against polio or raising awareness against diseases like cancer.
This time, he seems to have taken it upon himself to educate people about road safety.
In a video posted on Twitter by the cricket legend, he can be seen asking two young boys, who come alongside his car and ask for a selfie, to promise they will put on helmets as they ride a scooter in the traffic.
"Helmet Dalo!! Road safety should be the highest priority for everyone. Please don't ride without a helmet," Tendulkar wrote in the caption along with the video.

Tendulkar has previously been seen in education campaigns run by Indian Premier League (IPL) outfit Mumbai Indians, as well as in various platform promoting welfare of children and other social causes.

3 Concrete Steps to Buying Your Dream Home at Ease
While a house is an excellent investment, you get a better experience when it meets all your needs to make a great home for your family. As buying a home entails a range of factors and processes, you need to be extra vigilant during the entire process.
Get the money facts straight
Unless you have a source of funds, you might have to acquire a mortgage to buy the house. In doing so, you need to have a solid financial plan. Many people fail to plan and it proves to be quite costly in the end. Hamlet Homes noted that you could get better interest rates if you buy new townhomes in Salt Lake City, for instance, if you have a high credit score and a sizeable deposit.
Both of these require a considerable amount of time to accomplish. Low-interest rates translate into a substantial saving over the life of the mortgage and keep your repayment plan low and affordable.
Check the construction company or realtor
The quality of the house determines the lifespan and the amount of money you spend on repairs and maintenance. As such, you need to be sure of the construction firm's credibility before committing to a deal. Reliable contractors use superior materials and building technology to ensure longevity. Authenticate any claim a company makes by establishing their reputation on the web or your local regulation body.
In addition, ensure that they are duly registered and licensed to operate in your city and state. Avoid firms with many complaints and scandals since you are likely to become a victim as well.
Keep your emotions in check
No matter how lovely and appealing a house is, do not commit to buying it if it falls beyond your financial capabilities. Falling in love with a house, especially one that you can barely afford, is the key to financial ruin and painful homeownership.
With proper planning and considerations, you can successfully buy a house that meets your specific needs. It helps you avoid the myriad of pitfalls that abound the process.

Edmund White

Charlie Strong's base compensation was also $5 million per season for five seasons when he was hired in 2014.
Herman's latest extension with the University of Houston was worth $1.35 million per year base for five years, the highest annual salary ever for a Houston coach.

I'm just gonna finish up this story quicker than usual, since there's not much left. Here's the quick recap: Darius got bit by a super spider and now has spider powers, and Spider-Man has been shot.
Issue #4 begins with Darius jumping out the gym (Huh, that works) to go follow Spider-Man. He sees Spider-Man fighting against some alien. He slams a truck against the alien which explodes, killing Peter Parker. Darius and Ganke later go to his funeral, where Gwen Stacy tells Darius the motto, "With great power, comes great responsibility." Back at his dorm, Ganke walks in and gives Darius a Spider-Man Halloween costume to which Darius replies "Would this be in bad taste?(Remember this!)
Darius goes out webslinging to fight some criminals. He sees some Australian stereotype named Kangaroo attacking someone at a bar. Darius drops down to give his heroic banter and the guy getting beat up says "That costume is in terrible taste." During the fight Kangaroo tosses Darius into a pizza parlor where he lands on someone's table who says "That is in terrible taste." Kangaroo lifts a car to crush Darius when Darius punches him in the throat, causing him to drop the car on himself. Darius asks if anyone called the police and someone in the crowd says, "That outfit is in bad taste." Darius hides in an alley, removes his mask, and says "Maybe the costume is in bad taste." Later we see a news report that Ganke is looking at that says "It really was in bad taste," to which Ganke says, "Maybe it was in bad taste." (And that's the last one, thank God.)
Darius then goes back out to the roof to brood when he is knocked down by Spider-Woman, ending the issue. We begin issue #5 with Spider-Woman webbing up Darius and asking him who he is. Darius tries to activate his magic Jay powers, but he ends up hitting a satellite dish, knocking himself out. Spider-Woman takes him back to the Ultimates (The Ultimate Universe version of the Avengers) where Nick Fury says, "The outfit is in bad taste,young man" (It wasn't funny the first bloody time!) So Darius and Nick Fury have a nice conversation where Fury reveals that uncle Snoop is known as The Prowler. In another location, a guy is waking up from a coma in a prison hospital and starts to become electrified.
The man is actually Electro and invades the Ultimates's tower. Iron Man and Hawkeye manage to get him back on the ground where Spider Woman and Darius try to subdue him. Using his stunning touch, Darius manages to get past his electric shield, so Nick Fury can shoot Electro. The next day, Darius is telling the story of the battle to Ganke. Spider Woman then walks towards them and gives Darius a case with his new Spider-Man costume, ending the book.
Now that this self-indulgent review is over (and I have to admit this one was in poor taste) let's get to the ratings.
Plot: Being just an origin story it does pretty well on that basis. It introduces our characters well and goes at a quick pace.
Characters: Miles is an alright guy, although his whining about not wanting to be a hero is, well, whiny. His friend Ganke just pushes him to do what he doesn't want to, and Miles's family are a good group.
Action: The fight scenes are alright, with Miles just testing out his new powers. The last fight with Iron Man and Hawkeye shows how cool they are.
Art: Art is good and David Cage would love the amount of emotions shown.
Ending: It ends how you would expect; he becomes Spider-Man and saves the day. It is a happy ending though so it gets points.
Final Thoughts: Now I haven't exactly been dancing around the whole race issue in this book. I really don't have a problem with a new character being Spider-Man and him being a race other than white does not offend me at all. I do enjoy these first couple of issues and I'm glad Miles is becoming a mainstay in the actual Marvel Universe.

I wasn't sure what direction I was going in when I die cut my first piece from Simon's Slate Grey Cardstock (I rarely do) but my first thought in looking at it was that it would kind of cool to use the negative space in some way. I die cut three more pieces from SSS Green Leaf, Green Apple, and Neenah White cardstock, layered them on top of one another slightly off center to create this:
I backed the pieces with Simon's Surf Blue Cardstock and adhered the panel to a notecard. I stamped a sentiment from Simon's You Matter Stamp Set on a strip of the Green Leaf Cardstock and diecut a piece of Simon's Black Cardstock using Simon's You Die. After adding these to the card, I finished it off with some enamal dots.

Texas Tech Campus newspaper
The Toreador
(circa 1930s)
Just two years after Lubbock was selected as its home, the newly established Texas Technological College opened its doors on Oct. 1, 1925, with a record-setting 770 students and "a few 'stragglers' still coming in, " according to the first issue of the student newspaper, The Toreador, dated Oct. 3.
Many of that edition's articles focused on enrollment, specifically the disproportionate number of men to women on campus, and the opening ceremonies of the new college. But the newspaper's top story was full coverage of the Matadors' first football game – a 0-0 tie against McMurry College.
"This initial issue of The Toreador is the first sheet off the press and on the streets of Lubbock carrying a story of the Tech-McMurry game played this afternoon, " wrote editor Harry Montgomery. "Within two hours after the last whistle of the game sounded, football fans were reliving the battle from a complete play by play report appearing on this page. We expect to serve the students more efficiently each week by giving them the news of their school before it has become stale."
The Toreador
(circa 1940s)
Ninety years and two name changes later, the Toreador still records the history of Texas Tech University as it happens.
Raising hell
As Montgomery explained in the first issue of The Toreador, "It is well known, of course, that in the favorite sport of Spain and Old Mexico the 'toreador' is an assistant to the 'matador' or bull fighter – an aggravator you might say. So when the name Matador was suggested in keeping with the Spanish architecture and design of the college buildings, nothing seemed more appropriate as a name for the student publication than The Toreador."
Robert Montemayor, editor from 1974 to 1975 and one of four Pulitzer Prize winners produced by the Texas Tech newspaper, expressed the same sentiment in 1987, writing: "There was a slogan that I borrowed and slightly altered, from another university, that I used on the masthead while I was editor: 'It is this newspaper's duty to raise constructive hell.' It was my personal signature and attitude then and remains my attitude today."
The Toreador
(circa 1950s)
Among the editors most famous for stirring up controversy was Marshall Formby, who led The Toreador from 1931 to 1932. He established the strong editorial policy that would distinguish the paper during its early years, railing against boarding houses that required students to work in the house to pay for their meals and defending Texas Tech and its professors from a Lubbock preacher who accused the college of teaching atheism.
Ernest V. Joiner, editor from 1939 to 1940, was the only Toreador editor to be fired and reinstated twice because of his editorial stances. Hostile to any type of censorship, Joiner vigorously attacked many adverse school conditions, irritating a number of those in authority. A few months after his first reinstatement, he conducted a campaign in The Toreador to find out who was the "biggest horse's (neck)." After publishing the name of the winner – one of the deans – Joiner was re-fired in the resulting furor.
The Toreador
(circa 1960s)
Charles Richards, editor from 1962 to 1963, remembers the most interesting story of his tenure happened by accident.
"My roommate, Max Jennings, and I were in the basement of the Student Union Building one Friday afternoon our senior year, playing bumper pool when we should have been busy getting the next edition of the Toreador out, " he said. "The student newspaper's adviser, Phil Orman, called on the telephone and was chewing us out, and we 'explained' that we were actually doing surveillance on heavy gambling on pool games by students.
"Not only did he buy our story, he dispatched Toreador head photographer Cal Wayne Moore over to the SUB, where he covertly took pictures under a jacket he had over his arms. Phil also alerted campus security, which showed up and raided the games. The 'accidental' story, a double byline by Max and me, covered the top half of the Toreador the next day, was an overnight sensation and won second place in the Southwestern Journalism Congress' annual writing contest for student newspaper in Texas and surrounding states."
JFK Assassination 1963
Over the decades, the paper increased in frequency from its weekly beginnings to semi-weekly in 1935 and then to three times a week in 1957. The first plans for a daily paper were announced in 1962, although the expansion came four years later. The Toreador's name was changed to The University Daily on Sept. 20, 1966, as part of Texas Technological College's push to become a university. The college would follow suit, becoming Texas Tech University on Sept. 1, 1969.
Richards, for one, didn't like the new name.
"I felt a sadness, " he said. "I liked the Spanish architecture around the campus and carrying the theme over to other things – the Matador Song; the Picadors, as freshman athletics teams were called back then; and The Toreador, along with other closely linked traditions such as the Masked Rider and the Saddle Tramps."
The University Daily
Bill Dean, director of student publications from 1967 to 1978, remembers the University Daily stirred up the Lubbock community with a disturbing photograph taken during construction of the former Business Administration building in the late 1960s, which now houses the College of Media & Communication.
"Apparently the high school kids in Lubbock came out on campus and played around in the elevator shaft – kind of a crazy, dangerous thing, " he said. "A 15-year-old fell to his death one Sunday afternoon and the University Daily photographer – I don't know how he found out about it –got over there before the police and took a picture of it. So I got a call, 'come back to campus, we're going to have a debate: Do we run that picture or not?' It wasn't a close-up, but it was definitely a body. There were arguments on both sides and I just said, 'If we run it, my phone's going to ring off the wall in the morning and y'all will be home in bed.'
University Daily
(circa 1970s)
"They decided to run it and the reasoning was sound, I couldn't argue with it, " he said. "They said, 'if the other kids who are doing this see this, maybe it will deter them from doing it, ' which I thought was a pretty good argument. Of course, the phone did ring off the wall. People thought it was very insensitive for us to do it, but there was a perception that, as director of student publications, I could keep that picture out of the paper and that's not true. They sought my advice, but I didn't try to censor what they were doing."
Lessons learned
Andrea Watson, who started as a reporter in 1996 and returned as an adviser in 2002, said student journalists who work for the newspaper learn valuable lessons from both everyday and extraordinary situations.

Also known as Fanakalo, Fanekolo, Piki, isiPiki, isiKula, Lololo, isiLololo, Pidgin Bantu, Basic Zulu and Silunguboi Introduction
Fanagalo was established as a lingua franca between between speakers of various languages found in South Africa and was mainly used in mines throughout the country. It can be viewed as a pidgin and is basically simplified version of Zulu (and Xhosa) and related languages with adaptations of modern terms from English, Dutch and Afrikaans. About 70% of the lexicon is from Zulu. It evolved from contact between European settlers and African people especially in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa and later also in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and even Malawi. It is easy to learn this language, yet it is important to note that it is not a artificially-manufactured language.
Pidgin based on Zulu Family: Bantu (or rather Ntu) Language Family Group: South Eastern Bantu (or rather Ntu) Subgroup: Nguni
Fanakalo/Fanagalo (South Africa), Cikabanga (Zambia) and Chilapalapa (Zimbabwe)
No first language speakers. Some speakers who use it on mines in Southern Africa.

Catalytic Activity of La1 – xCaxCoO3 – δ Perovskites (х = 0−1) Prepared by the Pechini Method in the Reaction of Deep Methane Oxidation
- 35 Downloads
The catalytic activity of a series of the perovskite-like oxides La1–xCaxCoO3–δ (x = 0–1) prepared by the Pechini method (from polymer–salt compositions) in the reaction of methane oxidation was studied. The dependence of the activity and stability of samples on their composition and reaction temperature was revealed. It was found that an increase in the calcium content of the oxides initially led to an increase in the activity (to the values of x = 0.3) and then to a nonmonotonic decrease with an intermediate maximum at x = 0.6. A decrease in the activity of oxides in the course of testing, which was most pronounced in the samples with x = 0.3, 0.6, and 1, was found. The phase compositions, specific surface areas, and microstructures of the oxides were determined before and after tests. According to X-ray diffraction analysis data, only the samples with x = 0–0.4 were single-phase ones; the samples with x > 0.4 were two-phase samples containing the phases of perovskite and brownmillerite. With the use of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, it was found that the surface of particles was covered with the nanosized particles of simple calcium and cobalt oxides, and the particles of brownmillerite were present in the samples with x ≥ 0.4. The observed increase in the catalytic activity of the samples in a region to x = 0.3 correlated with an increase in the concentration of weakly bound oxygen in the perovskites, and a decrease at x > 0.3, with the appearance of the less active phase of brownmillerite in the samples and an increase in its concentration. The phase composition and the specific surface area of the samples remained unchanged after tests; however, planar defects were detected in the particles of perovskite and the calcium content on the surface increased. This was caused by the appearance and ordering of cationic and anionic vacancies under the action of a reaction medium, which can explain the observed changes in the activity of the samples.

RIO DE JANEIRO, April 26 (Reuters) – Vale SA, the world's top iron ore producer, expects iron ore prices no lower than $70 per tonne this year and will hand out $1 billion in dividends each quarter this year if conditions remain similar ahead, executives said on Thursday.
The dividend policy "was constructed to work in any price scenario. That means this policy is here to stay," Chief Executive Officer Fabio Schvartsman said on a conference call, adding that a $1 billion dividend payout was already guaranteed for the second quarter.
The comments came a day after Vale reported a first-quarter slide in profit of 36 percent on higher costs and lower iron ore prices. Vale still promised a minimum payout of $1 billion in dividends for the quarter to be paid later this year.
Vale executives also said they hoped to find a partner for the struggling New Caledonia nickel mine by the end of the year, but it was not clear whether the world's largest nickel producer would continue nickel operations there.
Executives said they were not satisfied with nickel prices, but said that the metal would become an industry motor when electric vehicles become a reality.

Daniel Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter film series, knows first-hand about the discomfort caused by nickel allergy. The eyeglass frames he wore during the filming of the first movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, contained nickel which caused an allergic reaction. He suffered for a week with mysterious bumps around his eyes where the iconic glasses touched his face, until allergic contact dermatitis was diagnosed. Nickel is found in many metal products, including eyeglass frames.
Nickel allergy is a very common form of allergic contact dermatitis, causing rashes, bumps, redness, swelling, and/or itching. Radcliffe was fitted with hypoallergenic frames and the reaction went away. Although titanium frames are a great option for the nickel allergic, they can be expensive. Nickel Guard™ can be used as an inexpensive alternative to provide a barrier between the metal containing nickel and the skin. Just a few layers of Nickel Guard™ brushed on the frames provide lasting protection from nickel.
Nickel Guard received top honors from a major medical university that specializes in allergic contact dermatitis. In a clinical study, it proved to be the most effective in barrier protection from nickel.
NoNickel offers not only the nickel barrier, Nickel Guard, but also a simple nickel test kit, Nickel Alert™, to test metal items prior to buying or wearing eyeglass frames. Once nickel is detected, other frames may be selected or Nickel Guard may be brushed onto the frames to create a seal between the metal and the skin. Nickel Alert and Nickel Guard are available in a the Nickel Solution™ kit

Most of our belts are sized from the Buckle Fold to the Middle Hole. A 36" belt will have a middle hole at 36" and two holes on either side of the center spaced 1" apart each. A 36" belt can be worn as small as 34" and as big as 38".
There are several options to determine your ideal belt size.
The ideal way is to measure your waist through your belt loops. This measurement is the size of belt you should purchase (i.e. if you have a 34" measurement, order a 34" belt).
An alternative option is to measure your old belt from the Buckle Fold to the Hole you use. If your belt measures 38" from buckle fold to the hole you use most; then order a 38" belt. This will give you a belt with 2 holes either side of the hole you use most.
If you still have questions, please call us! 704-947-1917

My background is originally in video production. Now granted, that was in a different century AND millennium, and production techniques have changed, but I have tried to stay up with things. I do understand the desire for the current generation to use their mobile devices to both gather and edit video. And while I agree with gathering video on mobile devices, I am still not sold on trying to edit on a phone or a tablet. The screen size is too small, the audio may not be sufficient enough to hear all audio imperfections, and while I am probably the exception rather than the rule, my fingers just don't cut it when trying to fine tune edits and crop points.
With all that being said, there IS a time and place for doing rough edits on a mobile device, and after reading this article, you can find some good apps for your iOS devices to accomplish your editing.
So take a look, and if you have any comments or want to share any software you are using, and your take on the editing process, please share with everyone in the comments area below.

Today, Dr. Eric Lu provided a fascinating case of acute myeloid leukemia presenting with left pleuritic chest pain and left shoulder pain. A sample of the interesting take-aways:
- Peripheral blasts are NEVER normal-->emergent Heme consult
- Common complications of AML for which to screen:
- DIC --> INR, PTT, Plt, Fibrinogen
- TLS --> K, Cr, Phos, Cal, Uric Acid
- Leukostasis --> WBC >50-100k + symptoms (neuro findings, pulm findings)
- Functional neutropenia --> Viral, fungal, bacterial ppx. Treat fevers as neutropenic fever. Place in isolation.
- Prognosis for AML is heterogeneous and dependent primarily on tumor genetics, age of patient, and response to initial induction

11 Essential (Mostly Low-Tech) Things to Pack in Your Travel Go-Bag
These simple items can mean the difference between a pleasant flight and hours of discomfort.
Having the right mix of simple, mainly low-tech items in your carryon can mean the difference between a frustrating flight and a smooth — even enjoyable — one. Here are a few of the things I always have ready to stash in my carryon before I head out.
1. Baby wipes
I never carried baby wipes until I had babies — but now I realize how very much better they are to have around than hand-sanitizer gel or spray. It's a much closer approximation to proper hand washing in a pinch, and cleans up mini messes or spills on the plane in the way no sanitizer can.
2. Lip balm
If you've ever felt your lips stinging from sunburn or dehydration, you know that a simple tube of lip balm can alleviate the first-world discomfort on a long flight in a few seconds flat.
3. Extra Ziplock bags
These are light to carry, and have infinite uses you won't even consider until you need one. Repack your plane snacks, or keep trash contained in between flight-attendant pickup, so it doesn't turn your seat into a gross garage pile while you wait.
4. Empty water bottle
No, you can't bring liquids over three ounces through security. But you can bring an empty water bottle so you have it to refill on the other side. Ask an airport restaurant for a fill-up so you don't have to get it on the plane — a very dubious source for water indeed.
5. A pen
How old school and quaint, right? Well, it's the only thing you can use to fill out customs documents if you're traveling abroad. Stashing a pen in your carryon means you'll have your paperwork ready when it's time to deplane, and you won't be one of the suckers forced to fill in your data in the airport instead of getting out into your destination — stat.
6. Tooth brush and travel toothpaste
Nothing makes you feel less fresh than a sour mouth from sleeping on the plane. Pop into the lav to brush your teeth before you get to your destination for a quick pick-me-up. Use the clean water from that bottle you brought on board to rinse.
7. Prescription glasses
If you depend on contact lenses like I do, you're probably familiar with a scenario like this: You depart LAX clean and fresh faced, and arrive 15 hours later in Istanbul with desert-dry eyes, and contacts plastered to eyeballs as if with glue. It's not a good feeling. Bring your glasses on board instead of checking them so you can give your eyes a rest.
8. Tech-charging tools
When your Kindle or iPhone dies, a piece of you dies with it. Don't let that happen: Make sure you bring whatever charging tools you need. Your seat may have a USB port, and you can find a place to charge at least somewhere in the airport — so make sure you stash your power cable in your carryon. Also consider a backup battery — and make sure it too is charged.
9. Healthy or specialized diet snacks
I'll never forget that years ago, when I was traveling to Jamaica, I inquired with the flight attendant about the vegetarian option for purchase. She deadpanned: "Cookies." Especially if your diet has limitations due to preference or allergies, make sure you board with the snacks you'll need to stay fueled until you reach your destination.
10. Noise-cancelling headphones
Don't travel without a set of headphones that will keep you engrossed in your podcasts, music, or other entertainment — especially if you're facing a long-haul flight.
11. Passport
Duh! It would seem obvious to any seasoned traveler that you must have your documents in order before you head to the airport. But consider this your reminder to double and triple checkthat yours is properly in your bag where you need it: When returning from Mexico last week, I handed a stack of my family's passports to the ticketing agent at the Puerto Vallarta airport. She informed me that one of the four was missing — mine. How could that be possible? A frantic, flailing and unpacking of luggage ensued while the line built behind us… until someone noticed that my passport had quietly fallen unnoticed behind the agent's computer when I'd handed over the stack. The point is, take it from me: You don't want to experience the feeling of being without your passport when you need it. Check, check, and check again.

The fifth edition of the Dungeons and Dragons rules (sometimes known as D&D Next) have been in development for couple of years now, with a wide-spread "playtest" taking place beginning in May of 2012.
Today saw the official release of those rules, and better still they have been released as free PDF files for everyone to download and enjoy.
The free PDFs, labeled as the D&D Basic Rules, represent the essentials for playing the 5th Edition game. Included are four classes (Cleric, Fighter, Wizard, and Rogue) and four races (Human, Dwarf, Elf, and Halfling). Each of the classes details a single archetype, or subclass, though the introductory text for these sections indicates that there will be a number of these types of archetypes to choose from for each class.

I've said it before, and I will say it again. Chicago needs to get some decent street musicians. The bucket boys and the occasional off-key saxophone player accompanied by a boom-box just don't cut it on the world stage. Paris street musicians always have something interesting to say. This trio was playing straight-ahead gypsy jazz (Irving Berlin's Dancing Cheek to Cheek in the movie Top Hat) as shoppers in the Marais walked and sometimes scooted by. Lovely. Maybe Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett will show up and join them tomorrow. A half a block from our apartment at 4 Rue Elzevir.
Billy Collins on Guitar; David Landes on Clarinet and Saxophone; and Jeff Hallan on Bass. We bought both CDs. You have to support street musicians.

Electronic fuel injection (EFI) replaced carburetors back in the mid-1980s as the preferred method for supplying air and fuel to engines. When utilized semi-routinely (once each handful of months) it will keep your injectors nice and clean. It can take very some time to access the fuel injectors you can comply with a practice of cleaning the injection system primarily based on time or mileage. The intake is only slightly wet, and typical fuel stress runs between 40-60 psi. You can do this either by making use of tubing to bypass the fuel injector so that the fuel returns to the tank or by removing the fuel pump and blocking the fuel return line.
An additional important element that assists figure out how much fuel is delivered by way of an injector when it is pulsed, and that is the fuel stress behind it. The greater the stress behind the injector, the greater the volume of fuel that will spray out of the injector when it is opened. The Lucas 1003 upper cylinder lubrication and injector cleaner is a excellent tune up bottle fuel cleaner that cleans and lubricates the fuel program. The fuel cleaner also neutralizes low sulfur fuel issues that may possibly pose a difficulty to the environment.
The Exhaust Stroke: During the pistons final upward stroke the outlet valve is opened and the gases made from the ignition of the air to fuel mixture is forced out and into the exhaust method. A single strategy is to put a tiny amount of petrol into the diesel fuel mix to assist reduced the freezing point of the overall mixture. When cars have fuel injector faults they will exhibit problems beginning or they will run in a quite ragged and rough fashion.
Fuel injectors can operate normally regardless of the orientation and this signifies that the engine will perform upside down or in zero gravity such as the case with airplanes. This disrupts the flow of fuel at the correct timing interval into the cylinder and reduces droplet evaporation efficiency, thus creating an imbalance in the fuel/air mixture into the cylinder. The relative proportions of air and fuel differ according to the kind of fuel utilised and the overall performance specifications (i.e. energy, fuel economy, or exhaust emissions).
The fuel program is a common diesel efficiency upgrade that is typically completed on most diesel trucks. Obtainable as standard equipment on an ever-widening variety of Cat Engines and machines, the extremely sophisticated HEUI technique makes use of hydraulic power alternatively of mechanical energy to operate fuel injectors. A leaking injector ring could be the lead to of this dilemma, regrettably this could also be attributed to a faulty oil pump or multitude of other concerns, but a leaking -ring would be a fantastic spot to verify 1st. The fuel calibration curves in the Powertrain Handle Module (PCM) are based on OEM dyno testing making use of a new engine.

40% Arinto, 30% Loureiro, 20% Trajadura and 10% Azal.
Praia, which means "beach" in Portuguese, is a smooth and fresh wine with delicate and lovely fruity flavors. Slightly spritzy, it is well balanced and very refreshing.
The region is typical for its unique wines that are fresh and light, combined with a very well balanced acidity. These characteristics result from the region's unique soil and climate, with a strong Atlantic influence that you will identify when you taste it.

The wine is ideal as an aperitif or throughout a meal, especially with fish, seafood, white meat and salads. Due to it freshness, it is particularly pleasant in a relaxed and informal ambiance.
"It's rare to find a vinho verde – the famously light and refreshing "green" white wine of Portugal – that isn't delightful, but this is one of the best of the breed. And there's no better time to quaff these wines than in the spring and summer. This version is lightly effervescent, with a lively acidity that wakes up the palate. It combines lime and peach flavors with a whiff of sea breeze. Somehow it manages to be both ethereal and penetrating. The ultimate picnic wine? Perhaps. It begs to be drunk outdoors."

Coach Mike Goerzen:
Mike's coaching story begins in 2013 after he reached his goal of losing 40lbs by his 40th birthday. He achieved that goal by using a variety of Beachbody programs and Shakeology, and absolutely fell in love with the products (and their results).
After he had started to get noticeable results, people kept asking him what he was doing and how they could do it too. So, he happily referred those people to Beachbody. It wasn't until a bit later that he realized the coaching opportunity was available to Canadians and began to research what it was all about.
Mike's background is in business and marketing. He holds an MBA from the prestigious Queen's University and has close to 20 years of marketing experience in a corporate environment. Looking at the coach business opportunity, Mike used his business savvy to evaluate it. At first, it made sense to become a coach simply for the 25% discount coaches receive. That would reduce his monthly Shakeology cost by about $25. But as he thought about all the people he was inspiring and then referring to Beachbody, he began to see how he could earn a nice side income as a coach as well.
Mike signed up as a coach at the very end of June, 2013 and began coaching in earnest on July 1st. He quickly became an Emerald coach (interestingly on his 40th birthday – the date that drove his weight loss goal), and began to help people. Since then, Mike has grown his team and business. He is now a Star Diamond coach, a leader on Beachbody's Vancouver Market Council, and earning an income that will soon match his day job salary.
With an ever-growing team, Mike's focus now is helping his coaches succeed. He enjoys helping them stay accountable, developing strategies with them, and providing ongoing training and support.
