Our expertise ensures that your EV charging station installation will be done in a timely and professional manner that matches your lifestyle and budget. Contact us today for a free estimate! Email us at email@example.com.
While every EV charging station installation has its own specific needs, there are some basic considerations to proactively help with the installation process.
Electrical Capacity
When purchasing an electric car, it's very important to know what electrical load capacity is available for your charging station. Prior to the charging station installation, we need to calculate the current available capacity of your dwelling. Then, we will assess the most optimal wiring solution, as well as alternative options. We'll inform you if any electrical upgrades to your dwelling are required, and we have the expertise to do the work properly and up to code. Please keep in mind that your utility company may have extra costs to upgrade their wiring at the point of entrance.
PG&E Preparations
To help promote the adoption of electric cars, California has mandated electrical utilities to provide qualified reductions to your electric rate. PG&E and other utility companies have reduced residential rate options for EV charging stations, which will help to offset your increased electricity use and lower your bill. We encourage you to take advantage of these discounts!
Outdated Electrical Equipment
Electricians are not allowed to work on older, unsafe panels like Federal Pacific (FPE). This means we are required to replace the hazardous panel and other out-of-code wiring, even if your load capacity is enough. Some building departments also require replacing Zynsco and Sylvania panels. We encourage you to check with your local building department on the specifics of your situation, before starting the charging station installation process.
Single Family Dwelling
In your home, generally there is garage or driveway parking. For these situations, installing an EV charging station depends on the condition and age of your home's electrical installation, structural considerations, and the electrical load capacity required for the desired level of charging power. Your own situation will be dependent on these variables. But rest assured, we understand and respect the very personal nature of working within the place where you live. We are deeply committed to offering friendly and reliable service, with the highest level of professionalism.
Multi-Family Dwelling
In apartments, condos and townhouses, parking your car is done in several ways: assigned parking, common area parking, and deed parking. For these parking situations, the main cost of installing an EV charging station depends on two primary factors: adequate building wiring (the distance between electrical service access point and the desired charging station site), and electrical load capacity with related transformer or service capacity. We can schedule the installation only after the HOA or building management agrees with the work evaluation. Be advised that an additional insurance requirement may be asked from you by the HOA or management company.
County/City Building Department
We are often asked why an electrical permit is required for the job. The simple answer is: for your safety. We can sympathize that this adds extra steps to the installation process, but it's the proper procedure. Ultimately, the building department exists to help and protect the consumer. They ensure that the electrical contractor did his/her work correctly and up to code. At Nijssen Electric, our commitment to doing expert electrical work means we follow things by the book.

Stocks opened mixed after yesterday's selloff. At the moment, the Dow is down 27 pts and the SPX is up .1%. The Nasdaq is up .25%. Biotechs, semiconductors and transports are bouncing back. But utilities are also higher and that suggests investors are looking to position a little more defensively for the near-term. The VIX Index, which jumped to 12.5 yesterday, is back down to 12. VIX April futures are trading at 13.6. So traders are clearly not panicking in the wake of yesterday's surprise dip. The dollar (and most commodities) are a little weaker this morning. WTI crude is down 1% to $47.70/barrel and we're hearing constant chatter about rising US oil production, which will add to global over-supply. Bonds are up modestly in price, down in yield. The 5- and 10-year Treasury yields ticked down to 1.94% and 2.40%, respectively.
Famed bond fund manager Jeff Gundlach was interviewed on CNBC this morning. He acknowledged, "Risk is starting to get risky." We're starting to see some "tired action" in junk bonds and stocks. But crucially, he doesn't see any indicators of a coming recession. So it's hard to be negative on the stock market. Stocks will "continue to grind higher." Mr. Gundlach acknowledged US economic growth (GDP) will likely come in weak for the first quarter of 2017. But, he says, GDP has been "weirdly seasonally weak" in recent years, so investors will shrug it off. Other economic data are positive.
US existing home sales softened a little bit in February from prior month levels. The volume of transactions fell to 5.48 million annualized units. But that's still a lot higher than the 5.2 million units a year ago. Housing continues to improve in most areas, but a scarcity of homes for sale—as well as higher prices—is clearly restraining transaction growth. In February, first-time buyers accounted for 32% of total transactions, in line with the recent trend. The median price of an existing home (nationwide) is up to $228,000.
Sears (SHLD) is down 13% this morning after acknowledging in its annual report "substantial doubt" about its future survival as a company. Sears has been around 131 years, but the US retail landscape is increasingly competitive. Sales fell 11% last year and are expected to fall another 18% this year. Bankruptcy appears to be around the corner. In the meantime, other companies are picking through the wreckage. Stanly Black & Decker (SWK) announced it will buy Sears' Craftsman brand for $900mil.

Nobuaki Kaneko (NK) has been a drummer his entire life. When he was 17 years old, he created the (now famous) band RIZE with his lifelong friend, Jesse McFaddin. RIZE has gone on to release 7 major full length albums, spanning the genres of Rock, Reggae, Rap, Punk, and JPop. It is also rumored that RIZE will release a new album in 2012 (or early 2013), but the release date has not yet been confirmed.
In Vision, NK plays the role of the lead character Kazuma, a cop who frequently finds himself on the wrong side of the law. In episode 1 - Awakening, the plot reveals that Rena, the lead actress, thinks she is being followed by a ghost. I won't spoil anything though, so if you want to find out what happens in this summer's hottest JDrama, head over to Crunchy Roll and check out the first two episodes.
SuperGaijinAlan with Nobuaki Kaneko in 2010.
If you are weary of signing up to websites like Crunchy Roll, I suggest waiting a couple of weeks until the series is leaked to Youtube. Then you can watch Vision hassle-free without the need for credit card information.
In the meantime, if you choose to wait to watch the series, be sure to check out NK on Youtube in his many RIZE appearances on stage!

Promotional products have been helping businesses of all sizes for many years, to expand the reach of their products or services. They are a simple and effective way to help people to understand and remember your brand and message.
Brands are all around us and have been from before the 17th Century. With Tate and Lyle's golden syrup being recognised as the oldest British brand by the Guinness Book of Records. Many people will know the Tate and Lyle brand, as we have seen it so often since childhood. It was only recently that I found out the lion on the tin is not resting (as I thought for years) but is actually dead with bees buzzing around! Which goes to show it is more about seeing the brand many times and recognising it, than studying it intently.
A brand is the perception that a client has when they hear or think of your business name, service or product. It can give them assurance of what they are going to get from their purchase and to make them feel safe. A brand not only creates loyal customers, but it can create loyal employees too. Giving them something to believe in, something to stand behind, helping them to understand the purpose of the of the business.
The more frequently people see a brand the more likely they are to think of it, at the right time. This may be for themselves or to help a friend or colleague.
The question is how can you keep what you do, and your business, consistently in front of customers without spending a lot of money? Well, research shows that 89% of consumers can recall a brand even two years after receiving a promotional product, according to Sageworld.com. By having a logo in front of your clients repeatedly or by adding an emotion to your brand with sweets and treats, you can keep your business in their mind for many months to come.
By having your brand consistently in many places like your website, business card, blogs, social media, emails and on promotional products you can make sure people are exposed to your brand, as often as possible. If you use all of these forms in a subtle informative way, people will soon remember you. Then all you need to do is keep in touch and remind them now and again.
Having something like a mug for the morning coffee or a pen, with your brand on, on your client's desk, can remind them of you 8 hours per day, 5 days per week. Quality products will be used again and again, so end up being a fraction of the cost of advertising. For example, a mug which costs £3.50 and is kept for 3 months (60 working days) costs 6p per day!
It's all about getting your brand out there, in the most cost-effective way possible. So however you decide to keep your brand in front of people, just remember to make it is consistent. Just like the Tate and Lyle has for as long as I can remember. Just maybe don't use the dead lion!

Getting shots as a kid used to be the worst thing about going to the doctor. Vaccinations and IM injections of antibiotics struck fear in most young patients, but the beneficial outcomes, in spite of the tears, made these unpleasant procedures worthwhile and important, because our moms said so. They continue to be to this day.
Interestingly, the needle and syringe are now 2 of the most important tools we use in the delivery of cosmetic surgery and medicine. In a world filled with high-tech machinery, lasers, robots, and surgical instruments, these 2 low-tech, simple tools allow us to perform very effective and safe aesthetic improvements to the face and body, competing heavily with plastic surgery procedures. Nonsurgical cosmetic procedures are on the rise and are clearly outpacing surgical procedures year after year. So, what are the 8 ways a needle and syringe can be used to improve your look in 2017?
- Neuromodulators: BOTOX®, Dysport® and Xeomin® are all neuromodulators. They are popular with my Spokane and Coeur d'Alene patients, as they block nerve impulses to specific muscle groups in the face that crease the skin. The result is a smoothing effect, lifting of the brows, and occasionally the additional effect of diminishing headaches.
- Fillers: There are multiple injectable fillers on the market. The most popular of these are the HA, or hyaluronic acid, fillers. Name brands include: JUVÉDERM VOLUMA®, JUVÉDERM® Ultra, JUVÉDERM®, JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE™, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA®, Restylane® Lyft, Restylane®, Restylane® Silk, Restylane® Defyne, and Restylane® Refyne. As we age, we all lose volume in specific areas of the face. The volume loss comes from a slow atrophy of fat, muscle, and bone that give us 3-dimensional structure. These dermal fillers, or soft tissue fillers, are designed to replace this deflation and re-suspend the support structures of the face, resulting in a more youthful appearance. The great thing about fillers is the result is immediate.
- Fat Transfer: Yes, your own fat can now be moved from one area of your body to another. Current techniques have shown good improvement in the survival of the transferred fat. Loss of the transferred fat in a few months was the criticism of earlier attempts at the procedure. Patients in the past would either have a transient result, due to the loss of the fat that didn't survive, or, because of this phenomenon, were overfilled in anticipation of some fat loss — and had inadvertent survival of too much fat, ending up looking like a cabbage patch doll. Fat processing and survival are much better, and this technique is becoming much more popular for the face, natural breast augmentation using fat transfer, and the Brazilian butt lift, which involves extensive liposuction of the waist, hips and legs, and fat transfer to the buttocks. One word: Kardashian.
- PRP — Platelet Rich Plasma: PRP use in cosmetic medicine and plastic surgery practices is exploding. The concept behind the procedure has been used in orthopedic surgery for 15 years. We have cells and proteins circulating in our blood that help us heal. Specifically, platelets adhere to areas of injury and release numerous substances to promote the complex healing process. PRP is made by drawing 22 cc of the patient's own blood, spinning it in a test tube in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells, and keeping the plasma and a very high concentration of platelets. The PRP is applied topically to the skin and then introduced into the skin from the surface by microneedling or an ablative CO2 laser to allow the plasma and platelets to soak in, and work their restorative and healing magic. The entire face can be treated in this way, and is also known as the Vampire Facial®. The PRP can also be injected below the skin and used in conjunction with the HA fillers (see above) to create volume while simultaneously rejuvenating the skin from below. PRP can also be injected under the scalp to treat hair loss in both men and women. A Vampire Breast Lift® is accomplished by injecting PRP in the breast and décolletage, creating skin rejuvenation and tightening. Last but not least, PRP can be used to improve and enhance sexual function. The O-Shot® for women is designed to enhance sexual health by increasing blood flow and rebuilding tissue in the clitourethrovanginal complex (CUV), improving orgasm and urinary incontinence. The Priapus or P-Shot® for men uses PRP to also increase blood flow for erectile dysfunction (ED), treat Peyronie's disease, and can enhance size as well.
- Sculptra®: Poly-L-lactic acid is the substance that makes up the bulk of dissolvable suture material used in surgery. Sculptra is a powder form of this substance, which is reconstituted in water and injected into areas for volume and collagen stimulation. It stimulates a healing response and creates volume, to improve overall skin appearance and quality. We call it fertilizer for your face.
- KYBELLA®: There has been a resurgence of an injectable fat dissolving treatment. Deoxycholic acid is the active ingredient in KYBELLA. Popular between 2005 and 2008, lipodissolve was a similar substance that became popular as a body contour fat melting injection procedure. Reformulated, and extensively studied and FDA approved, KYBELLA injections in the submental chin and neck fat is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve fullness of the "selfie neck."
- Microneedling: This popular skin rejuvenation procedure involves a pen-like device with multiple small needles oscillating into the skin at adjustable depth settings. Used in conjunction with PRP (see Vampire Facial above), this minimally invasive procedure is extremely popular with patients looking for repair of sun damage and aging skin.
- Subcision: Needles can be used to improve the appearance of surgical, traumatic, and acne scars. The needle is passed under the scar, effectively incising and releasing the scar. This blends the appearance of the skin and helps match the scar to its surroundings.

Week Three CFL Schedule: Alouettes vs Stampeders Kicks It Off
Calgary Looks To Rebound From Week Two Loss In Toronto
After looking impressive on both sides of the ball in Week One, the Stampeders 1qaz2wsx looked ordinary on defense and lost their starting quarterback on offense during their 39-36 loss to the Argonauts. QB Drew Tate went down with a dislocated shoulder and is expected to be out anywhere from four to six weeks. Kevin Glenn, in his 12th CFL season, gets the start for the Stampeders and will be a serviceable and trustworthy back-up. pass4sure A2180-271
Calvillo Leads The Alouettes In Week Two Rout Of Hamilton
Prior to the Alouettes vs. Tiger-Cats contest last weekend, we expected Montreal QB Anthony Calvillo to rebound from his poor Week One outing in Calgary and we were right on the money. Calvillo ripped Hamilton for 443 yards and three passing touchdowns as the Alouettes won 41-30. Calvillo missed some practice time this week with a shoulder injury but will be the starter tonight. We see this as a close and high scoring contest.

Finding And Using An Agent
Since the commission for the sale of a house is almost always paid for by the seller, buyers are able to get assistance and information from Real Estate Agents, usually at no cost to them. It is for this reason that the vast majority of home buyers employ the services of an Agent for their purchase. In addition, since most houses are listed by Real Estate Agencies, it gives them the maximum number of available properties to consider.
The relationship between a home buyer and a their Agent is a little like a marriage: it must be based on trust, mutual goals (to get you the house that best suits your needs!) and understanding. To a large degree, the home buyer entrusts the Agent to always keep their (the buyer's) interest first and foremost. It is important that you understand who the Agent with whom you are working represents. Take a moment to review our Agency and Buyer Agent pages for a discussion of how Seller's Agency and Buyer's Agency will affect your dealings with an Agent.
or right in your own area. There is no cost or obligation for this service!

Hoops for Haiyan
Every now and then, someone comes into your life and inspires you. An old coworker of mine, Kat, is one of those people for me. Kat organized an open gym basketball mini tournament to raise funds for Typhoon Haiyan victims. In a matter of a couple of weeks, she secured the gym, coordinated with Dennis to sell some special edition Mount Pleasant Athletic Club t-shirts and managed to get enough people to come out to the open gym in order to raise $1100. With government matching, that $2200 is going to helping a LOT of people in the Philippines! If you'd still like to contribute, the Mount Pleasant t-shirts are still available for $20. All proceeds going to the Typhoon victims. Please email email@example.com to purchase.
P.S. Another example of Kat's generous and socially conscience self: a couple of weeks before, for her birthday, instead of gifts or a big bday bash, she organized a beach clean at Jericho. As one does at the age of 25. Amazing!

Sculpture at Horse Park to be spiffed up for Man o' War's 100th birthday
A 68-year-old bronze sculpture of Man o' War at the Kentucky Horse Park will get a new coat in time for the legendary horse's 100th birthday in March 2017.
A team from Casting Arts & Technology in Cincinnati visited the statute recently to begin preparations for the repatination of the sculpture. Repatination is the removal of patina, or an oxidized surface. Herbert Haseltine raised the money for the project.
The statue, which stands just inside the park grounds, first stood over Man o' War's original grave at Faraway Farm, where he died in 1947. Both his grave and his statue were moved to the Kentucky Horse Park in 1977, according to the park's website. The date on the sculpture is 1948.
Born on March 29, 1917, in Lexington, Man o' War is considered one of the greatest racehorses of all time. He won 20 of 21 races and $249,465 in purses. Haseltine was a Harvard-educated sculptor who was known for his equestrian sculptures.

Even if the profile of the Dark Apostle isn't very appeling (in my point of view, with the litlle experience I have in the game), the miniature is very cool. However, as it is a FAILCAST, I'm not totally satisfait with it (specially the head).
For the Chaos Spawns, I tried to paint one of them some time ago (the one with a lot of tentacles), and got very bored and frustraded. However, I gave it another shot (starting with other model), and in the end it was nice and fast. I really like the one with some sort of head that explodes from the poor guy's chest and the red one (I was thinking in Diablo, the Lord of Terror, when I assembly it).
So now, I have only two miniatures left to paint to finish all my Chaos Space Marine army: a hellbrute and the awesome Daemon Prince (that will be only touched when it arrives at Brazil). However, as I'm thinking about starting a new project, with a very short deadline, I'll let the hellbrute waiting a bit longer in the shelv.
And also, I'm preparing a nice surprise for this week-end (hint: Sunday is 14th July - a very special date here in France).

What is Marin Academy missing?
December 11, 2017
"When I was a little kid my mother always told me, 'Multiracial—you get the best of both worlds'. And now I laugh. Yeah, I don't know if it's the best of both worlds, but it's interesting to have a foot in both worlds. It can be stressful at times when you're negotiating, but it can also really widen your perspective and your way of looking at the world." -Nicole Stanton
My own background is partly mixed race. My mother is half Japanese and half Irish, and my father is a quarter German, a quarter Swiss, a quarter Scottish, and a quarter English. So I am three-quarters Caucasian and one-quarter Asian, but my name represents a part of my ethnic background. People frequently ask me about the origins of my name. I tell them that it is from Japanese Mythology and that my mother wanted to honor and acknowledge that ancestry by giving my brother and I Japanese first names. Their first reaction is usually surprise — surprise that I am Japanese because "You don't look Asian." Personally, I have always been confused about whether or not I should fill out the Asian bubble on standardized tests and college applications. Most often, I do not. I am only one-quarter Japanese and I am not at all culturally Japanese. I was raised by and have lived solely around White people. My mother's father is Japanese, but she is not at all "culturally" Japanese because her mother was Irish and it seems as if one's mother often has a very strong influence on how one is raised. In general, I never really think about my race as being a factor in my life.
MA seniors Elly Labay and Coco Lemberg explained that being multiethnic or multiracial does not play much of a role in their lives at school, but it more often does off campus. Labay, whose mother is White (and British) and father is half Filipino and half European, leads an identity and equity group called Mixed Ethnicities. She said that being multiethnic at MA has "only been impactful […] because I've led Mixed Ethnicities, but I feel that if you're mixed in any way it doesn't really matter" here at MA.
However, Labay encountered a similar issue to mine with her college applications—which bubble to fill: "I'm Filipino, a quarter Filipino, [and] that was hard for me because it's not strictly Asian. I don't identify in the Asian community just because of people being like, 'you're not a real Asian,' and it was difficult because Filipino isn't considered a real Asian." She ended up marking the bubble for the Pacific Islander community, but Filipinos are specifically excluded from the Pacific Islander community. Interestingly, this quandary led her to write one of her college essays on the topic. She ended up writing about why she chose to identify as a Pacific Islander: "I don't think I needed to, but I thought it was necessary to explain my choices. It's a common theme behind the historical background of people not accepting Filipino people in the Asian culture." Interestingly, Labay says that because she is dark-haired and fairly dark-skinned, she herself identifies more as Filipino than White. She even says that she feels better, more confident in her identity, when she's tan because having darker skin makes her feel more clearly that she is Filipino.
English Teacher Marcos Garcia provided some fascinating historical context on the quandary of selecting race/ethnicity bubbles or boxes. Garcia grew up in Utah, with one side of his family Mormon and white, and the other side of his family Catholic and Mexican: "So for Latinos, if you were in the census in the late 19th century you would just be marked as white. There was not a racial category." In contrast to current times, this issue manifests differently, especially when applying for a job: "You get to the page that's for demographic information. There's an ethnicity box. And the only ethnicity in there is Latino, either you are or you aren't. So it's either [Latino], Black, Asian, White, Native American, Eskimo." Often nothing that allows you to be mixed race/ethnic.
Lemberg provided a different perspective from Garcia and Labay: "Personally, mine's pretty easy because I grew up relatively Japanese, not super [Japanese], but enough so I feel comfortable clicking Asian and White," she said. "[Some of my friends] who look more white have big struggles on deciding whether or not they click what their ethnicity actually is because they feel like they've never been treated like that ethnicity."
This feeling of not being "enough" of a certain race or ethnicity to be considered part of their category, is something that people from mixed ethnicities and races are constantly talking about. What does it mean/take to be considered authentically a race or ethnicity? For MA English teacher Nicole Stanton, she is regularly asked what is means to be authentically Black.
"Right. Can you dance? And eat fried chicken? And I had two left feet and was a vegetarian!" laughed Stanton. "I identify mostly as a Multiracial Black woman. You know I've always identified primarily as African American and that's mostly because I grew up in a largely Black city, and of course with Black people you have this kind of 'one drop rule,' where for most of Black history, if you were at all part Black, you were considered Black. And we don't really have that for like Asian Americans or Latinos, where you don't really say, oh if you've got one drop of Latino blood, you're just Latino. But with Blackness, because of the history of slavery and everything, we do have that kind of rule."
Garcia agreed and added his own experience, "Right. Were you really a Mexican? Were you really a Mormon? And the experience of someone who's halfway between both of those communities is that you never can [be one or the other]. You're never as Mexican as the Mexican Mexicans, and you don't look like the White Mormons. And I wasn't a Mormon; I was raised Catholic. So for me, I just sort of got used to not being a part of any group. There's never a sort of home base. And I think for people I've talked to who are mixed race or mixed ethnicity or even mixed religion, there's always that feeling."
The two students and the two teachers agreed that often at MA when we talk about multiracial we talk about Black-White relations, which may be a disservice to the diversity we actually have at MA.
"For students at MA, I think when we talk about multiracial identity, I feel like we often talk about mine," says Stanton whose father is Black and mother is White. "I feel like that comes up in various things, but I actually feel like most of our students are a mix of Asian and White, and I feel like we don't talk about that enough at MA. And I know I've had some students who identify very strongly with their Asian kind of culture and heritage and other students who don't at all."
Before Stanton said this I had never thought about how little MA's curriculum focuses on multiethnic/racial people. Garcia noted that although MA has an African American Literature class, there is not currently an Asian American Literature class or a Latin American Literature class. Although MA may have offered those in the past, it may be time to make them a fixture in the curriculum.
"So I think that even something as simple as having something on the curriculum tells students that we value that experience, we want to learn about it, we want to teach it," noted Garcia.
These interviews were all extremely enlightening for me. I have gained an entirely new viewpoint. I never knew about all the unique perspectives and struggles people of mixed ethnicities/races have with their identity and the common thread of not feeling as though they are enough of one ethnicity/race to identify with that group and the immense struggle that can come with that inner conflict.

So as the today is the World Cat Day, I decided to say thank you to my little assistant the famous Mr. Cheddar, by dedicating a series of posts to him. The first one will be about our common passion for nice fabric. He is a bit crazy about nice patterns (he has a basket with little crocodiles) but his favourite fabric (and I can't blame him) are the Liberty of London fabric. He loves (just like me) the floral prints and the softness of it. So here are a couple of pictures of Chedds on his favourite spots in the flat.

Owen Lamont - plus Glass Wings, Rory Nellis, Sonja Sleator
Owen Lamont and his band return after their debut Empire show back in Sept 2017, which left people gasping for more of this talented bunch of folk. Be prepared for wonderful harmonies and searing guitar solos once again.

Rory launched his first solo album, Ready For You Now, in 2015 and is currently working on his second, due for release in November. Rory's songs stem from musings on life, death, relationships and, occasionally, politics.
Sonja Sleator has established herself as one of Northern Ireland's most recognisable singer/songwriters. With regular performances across Northern Ireland, including the Society Sessions, Sunflower Festival and Culture Night, as well as a support slot with local legend Kaz Hawkins at the EastSide Arts Festival.

We have disagreements like every other family. What should we watch on TV? Whose turn is it to choose? After waking up with sinus pressure, I plugged in the vaporizer, lit a eucalyptus candle, and read my Bible.
Joshua 18:3, "Then Joshua asked them, 'How long are you going to wait before taking possession of the remaining land the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given to you.' " New Living Translation
After reading this verse, I wanted to wrap up in a quilt, take possession of the big recliner, and let someone else tackle the mountain of laundry! It wouldn't help. The vaporizer is not working. It looks like I will be the one fighting "Mount Washmore."
Dear Father God,
Please get me through this day.

Considering the size of Nintendo Switch game cards, it only seems like a matter of time before one slides into the couch and just disappears into the ethereal world of missing socks. Due to their diminutive size, my fear of misplacing or losing my game cards has driven me to look into effective methods of storing them. Rather than storing them in a burlap sack or wrapping them up in a hobo bindle, I looked into the various carrying cases that are available on the market. Here are some of the best cartridge cases based on several criteria.
Best officially licensed case
If you are one of those Nintendo fans who exclusively prefers licensed products, then Hori has you covered. Hori manufactures accessories for just about every console under the sun including a huge line of officially licensed products for the Switch. This case will hold a total of 24 game cards in addition to the space it offers for the storage of memory cards. If you are looking for a lot of storage and that official Nintendo seal, then this is the way to go, for only $10.
Best case to show off a little flare
Maybe you are in the market for something that's a little less plain. For about $13, you can show off your love of Zelda or Mario. These cases come in four different iconic designs. They hold 12 game cards. That means if you buy the whole set, then that is space for 48 games!
Smallest footprint, smallest price
If you are looking for the best bang for your buck, it should come as no surprise that AmazonBasics is the best route. This case is one of the smallest out there and at only about $9, it's a bargain. In addition to the low low price and the small portable size, it will actually house 24 game cards.
It's pretty early on in the life cycle of the Nintendo Switch. I am sure as time goes by we will be seeing a lot more great cases hit the market. For now, this list represents some of the best cases out there.
Where are you storing your game cards?

plink Needs Water WingsGood news: This blog is evolving.
Bad news: plink is not.
Your little friend is no better now than at the start of this effort and it's not just my writing. Trying to comment on other people's blogs feels like walking into a room full of adults. Here's why.
Despite having gathered up enough courage to comment on other blogs, a nagging problem still remains: I've not got that much to say. Things have gotten to the point where commenting has become a will-I-won't-I sort of exercise.
There's also the disappointment of reading other, better-written, comments. Where does the apparently effortless commentary come from? Half the time I feel that I have something worthwhile to say, someone else has said it in fewer words. There's also a humorous twist tossed in, like it's the most natural thing in the world.
While I curtsey/bow/kowtow to the experts, this does nothing to lessen my frustration. I think that's why they're called experts: they make this difficult sort of thing look easy.
None of this lessens the worry either. Do I self-censor so extensively that I cannot even feel my ideas? Do I really have no ideas or opinions at all? Am I so humourless that people would sooner chew their leg off than talk to me?
To use another metaphor, I feel as though I have jumped into the deep end of the blogosphere and am now coming up for the third (and last) time.
plink certainly needs water wings, but for how long? What form will these water wings take?

In the spirit of universal consciousness and uplifting the truths found in all religions, the Eight Fold Path is a guide to how one should strive to live. It is a way of life on the road to Truth. The Eight Fold path is both a step-by-step process and also a simultaneous development of our being all at once. The first five steps are the preliminaries of Yoga and build the foundation for spiritual life. They are concerned with the body and the brain. The last three, which would not be possible without the previous steps, are concerned with reconditioning the mind, preparing the whole being for the Divine Union. The Indian sage Patanjali in his epic Yoga Sutras describes the Eight Fold path.
Yama is action with moral principle. There are five Yamas:
- Non-violence (Ahimsa). Do no harm to any creature in thought or deed.
- Truth and honesty (Satya). Telling no lies, to oneself or others.
- Non-stealing (Asteya). Do not steal material objects or intangibles.
- Non-lust (Brahmacharya). This is seeing divinity in all and is not a call to celibacy. It is refraining from selfish and meaningless sexual acts.
- Non-possessiveness (Aparigraha). This is detaching oneself from greed and not pursuing material gains as one's sole purpose.
Niyama is internal discipline and responsibility. There are five Niyamas:
- Purity (Shauca). Purity is achieved through the practice of the five Yamas, which help clear away the negative physical and mental states of being
- Contentment (Santosha). This is having fulfillment with who you are and what you have at any moment while maintaining that these things are not the true self.
- Austerity (Tapas). To fulfill one's higher purpose, it demands discipline of body, speech, and mind.
- Study of the sacred text (Svadhyaya). These could be texts of any religious affiliation as long as you find that the message resonates a feeling of Bhakti (devotion) within you.
- Living with an awareness of the Divine (Ishvara-Pranidhana). Coming to a place where all actions are a form of devotion and performed with love of the Divine.
Asana is perfection and mastery of the body, which frees the body and mind from tension and restlessness allowing for undisturbed meditation on the Divine. This could be yoga for instance.
Pranayama is the mastery of breath or Prana. Prana is the life force or energy that exists everywhere and flows through each of us.
Pratyahara is directing awareness inwards. It is a withdrawal from the material senses.
Dharana involves teaching the mind to focus on one point or image. It is concentration that allows one to rise above the seemingly endless flurry of thoughts.
Dhyana is perfecting meditation without objective; it is only with the purpose to create a heightened awareness of oneness with the universe.
Samadhi or absolute bliss or pure contemplation, in which you and the universe are one. Those who have achieved samadhi are enlightened. This is the God-union and the goal of the Eight-Fold path, truly the achievement of success.

As winter approaches and the air begins to dry out, our skin dries out too. During the fall and winter, your skin may show signs of being dry, flaky, and rather unattractive. Aging, low humidity, too many hot showers, and cleaning products all cause your skin to be dry. Regardless of the reason, there are simple home remedies you can use to hydrate your skin and help it look healthy and beautiful.
If you have dry or chapped hands due to washing dishes, try sprinkling baking soda in your dishwater. If your hands are chapped, but not from washing dishes, try using vinegar. Wash and dry hands thoroughly, apply vinegar, then put on a pair of soft gloves and leave overnight.
If you have a dry skin problem on more than your hands, add baking soda to your bath water and soak. Use one cup of baking soda in a full tub of water. Soak for 30 minutes and then let your body air dry. A handful of cornstarch or instant oatmeal will also work wonders in your bath water. Or, if you're brave, coat yourself with oil before retiring for the night. You may feel uncomfortable sleeping like this, but will awaken with healthy, glowing skin. Vegetable, sunflower, or peanut oils offer relief from dry skin. (If this doesn't sound like something you want to do, add a few drops of the oil to your favorite body lotion and apply all over. You'll get more of the softness without all the mess).
To help put moisture in the air, you can boil water on the stove or purchase a humidifier. Anytime you create steam, you're putting moisture in the air and relieving dry skin caused from lack of moisture. Other things that will help are to take cool or lukewarm showers. It may not sound appealing, but your skin will thank you. Hot water dries out your skin by drawing out all the natural oils. And, be selective about soap. Anything containing heavy perfumes or scents may dry your skin. Once you get out of the shower, use body lotion while you're still damp. The lotion will help your body retain the water present on your skin and seal in the moisture.
I don't like to think about it because I enjoy my red wine… but, alcohol inside or outside can make your skin dry. Whether drinking an alcoholic beverage or using a product on your skin that contains alcohol, you can help prevent dry skin by decreasing usage. Work toward beautiful skin this winter by treating it right.
Strive to be healthy!

From: http://www.cais-soas.com/News/2006/March2006/12-03.htm
LONDON, (CAIS) -- The oldest observatory was discovered in Gur city, Fars province, along with frescos of Sasanid princes.
The Iran-Germany archaeological team, headed by Professor Dietrich Hoff, in its excavations first reached a circular structure which led to the Iranian observatory, dating back to the first Islamic century.
Similar buildings have previously been found in the Indian cities of New Delhi and Jaipur, ISNA reported.
The adobe structure is in excellent condition. Its diameter is about 5.65 meters and there are 12 zodiac signs on the structure.
An Iranian member of the archaeological team, Jafari-Zand, said, "The observatory has been repaired and reinforced. Rest assured that natural parameters will not affect the structure and after the completion of excavations, it will be kept in a protected area."
He noted that in the current phase, a part of the observatory, which is a masterpiece of Iranian science and technology, was unearthed and in the next phases other parts will be unearthed. Gur city was founded during the reign of Sasanid emperor, Ardeshir Babakan. In the Post-Sasanid era, its name changed to Firouzabad. The city was thriving in terms of scientific considerations in the 10th century CE.
Fars province was at the forefront of astronomy in Iran in the 10th century CE and Gur was a prominent city.

Mojo Burrito is a Chattanooga staple and a must-visit spot if you are just passing thru. Not only is Mojo the best burrito in town by a landslide, it was also voted the number one vegan friendly restaurant in a survey of over 200 local vegans. It's inexpensive and kid-friendly with a welcoming staff and a great vibe. The best part though... they have 3 different locations to choose from so you're covered no matter what part of town you end up in. The iconic St. Elmo location is mapped here, but don't forget to find them in Red Bank and Ooltewah as well.
The vegans have spoken! Currently Mojo is offering local Cha Cha Vegan Cheese at all locations EVERY DAY!!!
Mojo Burrito is definitely at the top of my list. I get to support a local business that's veg-friendly every time I eat there! I have asked for vegan options and on many occasions the staff has responded favorably with a "Oh, cool man" or a "right on". I dig the respect that Mojo gives us [vegans], and I will ALWAYS recommend them. PS the guac is some of my favorite around, too! - John R.

All of these items have been confirmed vegan from restaurant staff. The menu is accurate as of the date of this post. If you spot anything that needs updating please contact us.

Snow White became the Evil Queen, hunting down Regina for her childhood mistake of spilling the truth about Snow White's true love–James, Charming's twin brother.
Regina, in a copy of Snow White's bandit outfit, attempted to rob what she thought was a tax carriage. It was not a tax carriage. It was Snow White's carriage. She stepped out and they had the usual exchange, but Regina was the one giving the "when will this blood feud end" speech and Snow White was the one giving the "I want to hear you say you're sorry from your grave" speech.
It was brilliant.
I must say I was surprised at all the people who were surprised that Ginny Goodwin did such an outstanding job portraying a character who isn't goody-goody. I suppose many of them had never seen any of her other work.
But the important thing about the performance was Ginny's appearance.
She wore the same type of costumes that Regina would wear as the Evil Queen, but she didn't wear her long wig and she didn't have her face made up dramatically. Her makeup was minimal. What was dramatic was her short hair, done up almost in a mohawk. (If you can't picture this, here are screen caps.)
I've read a lot of complaints about:
The short hair
The downplayed makeup
The costumes
Her weight.
Let's start with the hair. Ginny is well-known for her love of unconventional hairstyles, makeup, and fashion. What was she doing as the Evil Queen with short hair? Making it clear that she didn't have to copy Lana's Evil Queen to be jaw-dropping beautiful.
You do not have to have long hair, or any hair at all, to be beautiful. So many girls and women spend outrageous amounts of money and time trying to have the flowing, layered, gently wavy, highlighted hair they see on female celebrities. Ginny–or rather, the hair stylists–turned Ginny's pixie into a high-fashion, high-drama updo.
Ginny always goes light on the makeup on the show. I'm glad she did not copy Lana's makeup because I think it would have been distracting and would not have suited her. It would have distracted from her hair. It would have distracted from the absolutely viciously evil expressions on her face as she played the Evil Queen.
Now, I don't understand why people don't understand why she was wearing the same style of costumes that Lana wears as the Evil Queen. After all, no one questioned why Lana was in Ginny's Bandit Snow costume. I've read criticism that Ginny should have worn a different style. I think some of that has to do with her weight.
Ginny is not slim. I'm not going to use the excuse "well she had a baby a few months ago" because IT DOESN'T MATTER WHY SHE'S NOT A SIZE FOUR. It doesn't matter why any other woman is "plus size" or "overweight." It has nothing to do with her beauty. It has nothing to do with her personal style. I think that many larger women tend to stick to traditional looks so that they don't stand out and people don't notice their weight as much. THIS IS CRAP. You can be "heavy" and cut your hair short, wear no makeup, wear the same styles that smaller women wear.
Ginny gave us a perfect example of non-traditional beauty.
Non-traditional beauty includes tattoos, piercings, shaved heads, wearing a bikini even if you don't have a "bikini body," being androgynous in appearance. And, since it has to be said, I'll say it: non-traditional beauty includes not being white. All shades of skin, all types of hair, all facial shapes. And another thing that has to be said: non-traditional beauty includes women over 30. Seriously. It's time to toss "men get distinguished, women just get old" out with housewife wearing pearls to vacuum stereotype. Everyone gets old. That doesn't mean older women automatically become unattractive.
So this is a lot to think about and it was all inspired by the season finale of Once Upon a Time and Evil Snow White.
Bravo, Ginnifer.

Review of RED HOT contemporary Asian Art at the MFA Houston
July 24, 2007
Three days ago I attended the member's preview of RED HOT, a collection of contemporary Asian art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston Texas. Unlike the preview of the French Modern Masters (see previous blog entry), this was rather sparsely attended. I got there around noon, having first met my middle son for a late breakfast at Waffle House. Like all of MFA's exhibits, it was beautifully displayed and amply guarded.
The artists were from all parts of Asia, one in particular Dinh Q Le had been born in Southeast Asia, emigrated to US at age of 10 or so, studied art in the US, and then returned to Viet Nam. His work is intrigueing as it involves weaving of chromagenic prints with other materials including linen tape. The patterns and style of weaving is that of Viet Namese grass mats. The imagery includes 'pop' culture symbols and iconic figures–somehow it is sad–decrying the loss of a culture and country as the modern day world creeps in.
Other works included a pair of large boots about to step on an footprint of tiny people, large figures of pigs or people such as the one at the entrance to the museum as shown above. There is clearly a huge animae reference and much of the work seems cliche but with either an angry or sad aspect. It was overwhelmingly disturbing and I can only hope that life improves. Most of the pieces were quite large; there was no delicate china or dainty flowers. I saw just one abstract painting that suggested traditional Asian landscape, the rest were animae-pop culture imagery.
After that exhibit, I wandered around a bit and came across the contemporary art of Brazil. Now this work was absolutely delightful. Most of the work was paintings but there were a few sculpture or wall-hung sculptures. Most of these artists focused on color, pattern, and investigation of line and it's interaction with other lines. I fell in love, and bought the book so I can pore over the images again.
Downstairs was a showing of a series of photographs of the Great Wall of China. Perhaps I felt disenchanted after the Asian Art exhibit but only two or three pieces really appealed to me.
I thought about why I liked/disliked the images I had seen that day. The similarity between the contemporary Brazilian work and the few Great Wall of China photos was a sparseness of line–a sureness of artistic intent–a rather cool command of the medium and the imagery–nothing seemed forced or frivolous or over the top or sentimental. The pieces by Dinh Q Le were complex but yet showed a mastery of the material and the imagery. Perhaps that is what I seek–mastery of content, image, and technique.
No day is complete for me at the MFA without a visit to my two favorite sculptures in the sculpture garden across the street—Matisse's Backs, a set of bronzes illustrating artistic styles and Giacometti's Matchstick Man ( I think it has another official name but this is what I've always thought of)

SAT Subject Tests: Math I vs. Math II/
For high school juniors and seniors, it is important to decide which SAT IIs (one hour tests in specific subjects) are best to take. Many colleges require scores from at least two subject tests, so it makes sense to take subjects tests in a few different areas and select the best results. There are so many different subject tests to choose from that picking the right ones can be difficult. The tests can be broken down into three main areas, which can help students choose the best ones. There are language subject tests, covering everything from Latin to Chinese; there are humanities-oriented tests, like the English subject test or US history test; finally, there are science-based or quantitative tests, like the math subject tests or biology tests.
Who Should Take a SAT Subject Test in Math?
If a student intends to pursue any kind of math- or science-oriented major in college, it's a good idea to take one of the math subject tests. Colleges want to know that prospective students already have basic skills that will be important in later science and math classes, and a great math subject test score is a good way to show colleges a strong math foundation.
Differences between the Math I and Math II SAT Subject Tests
For students who intend to take a math subject test, there are two to choose from: Math I or Math II. Both are an hour long, and both have fifty multiple-choice questions that increase in difficulty as the test goes on. However, the two tests cover different areas of math. Math II covers more advanced geometry, includes polar coordinates, and it also has more questions on algebra and functions than Math I. As these topics are usually taught late in high school, Math II is usually considered more "advanced," while Math I is more "basic." As some students may be more comfortable with certain subjects than others, choosing Math I or Math II is not just a question of choosing the "easy" or "hard" test; every student needs to weigh his or her strengths and weaknesses against the content of each test.
If a student is still having trouble deciding which test is best, he or she could take a practice Math I and Math II test, and then compare results. This will give a rough estimate of how prepared the student is for the concepts on each test, and that can help guide later study and narrow down which test the student should sign up for.
Private SAT Math Tutoring NYC
After choosing which test to take--the SAT Math I or Math II Subject Test--the next step is to prepare for the actual test. A motivated student can study alone, but working with a private SAT math tutor has lots of benefits.
For tests as specialized as the math subject tests, it's important to have a solid understanding of every math concept that will appear on the test, and working with a private math tutor will help isolate any areas that need improvement. A tutor can also give his or her students individual attention, which will make it even easier to find and improve any problem areas before the test. A tutor can also explain tricky problems in several different ways, which will help make sure that the answer to every practice problem makes complete sense. There are lots of seemingly trick questions on both math subject tests, and a tutor who is familiar with both Math I and II subject tests can show students common errors to avoid.
Working with a private SAT math tutor is always most useful when tutoring is used as a supplement to a personal study routine that includes doing practice tests. So why not get started now with some practice questions from the College Board, the administrator of the SAT Subject Tests in Math.
