VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 17, 2011) - Africa Oil Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AOI)(OMX:AOI) ("Africa Oil" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on drilling operations related to the two-well exploration program in the Dharoor Valley Block, located in Puntland (Somalia).
Drilling locations have been selected over two robust prospects targeting gross best estimated prospective resources of over 300 million barrels each, based on internal estimates. A contract has been awarded to Sakson Drilling and Oil Services who will provide a 1,500 horse-power, top drive equipped rig. The majority of the drilling-related third party service contracts have been entered into and all outstanding service contracts are expected to be completed before the end of August.
The Company is actively engaged in sourcing drilling related materials and early stage logistics including drill site and ingress route construction. A contract has been signed with a water well drilling company and water well drilling will commence in early September. Mobilization of required personnel and equipment is planned to allow for spud of the Shabeel-1 well during the fourth quarter of this year.
The Puntland Government and Dharoor Valley communities are fully supportive of the drilling project and have ensured they will do all that they can to allow the project to move forward safely and expeditiously.
Please refer to the Company's press release dated August 11, 2011, detailing a proposed transaction whereby the Company will transfer its interests in the Puntland production sharing contracts to Denovo Capital Corp. ("Denovo"). Assuming completion of the transaction and related financing, it is anticipated the Company will own approximately 50% of Denovo. A private placement of CAD$40.9 million has been closed by Denovo subject to final TSX Venture Exchange approval of the transaction which will allow the new combined company to fully fund the upcoming two well program.
Keith Hill, Africa Oil's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are very pleased to have signed a drilling rig contract and to have procured the required services to allow us to commence drilling operations in Puntland. With support from the local communities and Puntland Government, we are eager to drill the first exploration wells in Puntland in over 20 years, aimed at unlocking the resource potential of the area."
Africa Oil Corp. is a Canadian oil and gas company with assets in Kenya, Ethiopia and Puntland (Somalia). Africa Oil's East African holdings are in within a world-class exploration play fairway with a total gross land package in this prolific region in excess of 300,000 square kilometers. The East African Rift Basin system is one of the last of the great rift basins to be explored. New discoveries have been announced on all sides of Africa Oil's virtually unexplored land position including the major Albert Graben oil discovery in neighbouring Uganda. Similar to the Albert Graben play model, Africa Oil's concessions have older wells, a legacy database, and host numerous oil seeps indicating a proven petroleum system. Good quality existing seismic show robust leads and prospects throughout Africa Oil's project areas.

Did you know that April is "Stress Awareness Month"?/
April is National Stress Awareness month. Who needs a month to remind us of stress? I won't go into my sources of stress, but I have them. And I'm sure you have yours. What is it about stress that prompts a thorough doctor to ask patients with all manner of symptoms, "How about stress in your life?" Whether it is pain in our head or our toes, our response to stress can make us literally sick. How does that happen?
Our bodies are very adaptive to a wide variety of environments and situations. When we feel threatened, our minds react but so does our body. Our endocrine system, the adrenal glands in particular, put our body into survival mode. For short periods of time, this allows us to fight stronger, run faster and focus better. This happens because hormones like cortisol and adrenaline give us greater strength and resistance to injury.
But when stress becomes chronic, the same events that help us survive can limit our ability to thrive. Everyone reacts differently and to different threats. In the end, all of us have some stressor that can cause anxiety or depression from chronic exposure to threat.
Some forms of relief decrease anxiety while making the body and mind stronger — exercise, meditation, prayer, talking with a supportive friend, or getting away are some examples. Some medications can be helpful in the short term to allow continued function, but caution is advised if the need becomes more chronic. Cognitive behavioral therapy, which involves changing the way we think about certain stimuli, seeking to change negatives into neutrals or even positives, can be a great help if anxiety or depression persists.
Other "remedies" are tempting because of their ready availability and short term relief from anxiety. Alcohol, other substances and behaviors (gambling, shopping, sex and others) can numb unpleasant feelings, but the aftermath can be increasing anxiety. With long term use, the withdrawal from pharmacologic effects can induce a whole new set of symptoms: physical withdrawal associated with addiction.
Eliminating stress from our lives is not realistic. We can make different choices about priorities ("Don't sweat the small stuff") and develop coping skills. Professionals can help in a variety of ways.
Why bother? Stress kills and deprives our lives of quality. It can make us more prone to infection and cancer because it depresses our immune system. It can lead to depression, including even suicide. But did you know that it also inflames our vascular system, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke and other vascular events? Emotions cause overeating and stress levels of cortisol cause weight gain, which can in turn bring on diabetes and vascular disease.
Research the best options to manage your response to stress. Talk to your health care professional for advice for best options. Awareness that we are being hurt is the first step.
Why have a Stress Awareness Month? So that we can all be more aware; then act.

Babywearing Review: Nunamoochie Anya
Nunamoochie never lets us down when it comes to colors and prints, and Anya is no exception. The vibrant summer colors are guaranteed to make you feel sunny no matter what mood you or your baby may be in. The softness leaves you with not much left to ask for because straight out of the bag, it is soft and buttery, let alone after its first wash. The width and weave of the wrap makes it a great choice to have around early on and grow with your new squishy, which is especially nice for your wallet. And best of all, Anya will leave you wanting to learn new carries and finishes to show off her beautiful pattern of the colors.
*FYI: Earlier this year I did a review of Nunamoochie's first handwoven Retro, and it was pretty much love straight out of the box. (Retro was also my first handwoven wrap!) It is very similar to Anya, except that Retro's width is about 1 inch narrower and it is made of organic cotton, which makes it slightly stiffer. They are mostly comparable that different when it comes to how they wrap.
Enter ANYA... The first 4 things that will always come to mind when I think of Anya is the warm feeling of the sun, my girls giggles (which make me SO happy), raspberry lemonade and of course Anya herself. (Did you know the wrap was named after Colleen and Tanni's (the owners) sweet new baby girl! All of whom I had the pleasure of meeting at MommyCon 2015! #fangirl moments!) I was sure that this new release was going to be just as, if not even more, exciting than Retro because I feel like Nunamoochie is up for trying new things, which makes me excited to try all of their things! Right off the bat, after opening the package, we had to cuddle with Anya. Not wrap, just cuddle. It was SO soft and floppy, and despite it's thinness, I could tell that there was enough cush in the 100% cotton threads to keep from digging. The very first thing I did after she was done washing was take her for a tandem HJBC ring finish Rebozo stroll around our street. (Note to self: don't wrap in a strapless top! Hence the lack of photos lol.) I was so impressed with how easy it was to handle the material during the shoulder flip, how easily the pass glided across my baby, and how much it did NOT dig in my shoulders.
Because the wrap is so smooth, I ended up really enjoying the FCC (front cross carry) finish for my very active and chatty toddler in tandem carries. She wants to look around and point and chat about everything, so I need the extra pass to reinforce her. I love that with Anya, the passes are SO easy to spread over her back, which comes in especially handy when she is not really in the mood to go up right when I put her there. No muss, no fuss. After the few seconds it takes to get her situated she is usually as happy as can be. These are the same reasons that I could not stop doing the CHCC (coolest hip cross carry) with Anya. The slip knot (and sometimes square knot because... well, twin brain lol) held so well in place and it became the carry I used most (for solo carries) with this wrap. While we were on vacation in Chicago, I wore Anya in CHCC practically every morning at breakfast. She not only brightened the hotel restaurant's dark morning setting (no windows and rather large), she made it SO easy to get my baby in and out because the wrap glides across its self so easily, and the stripes help easily navigate the top and bottom rails. (You know you will always need seconds of strawberry cheese blintzes.. and that your toddler will alway want to come with... be prepared!) Speaking of the stripes... I seriously cannot rave enough about the colors. (Did you know the threads were custom dyed JUST for this wrap?!) While, in general, prints and colors are always an added bonus, they aren't always enough to motivate me to really test my creativity and knowledge. With Anya, I felt like I had an endless combinations of carries and finishes to wrap and show off her colors, which in turn motivated me to really test and expand my wrapping knowledge/abilities. The candy cane chest belt (CCCB) twist that finishes off the CHCC (as seen in photo on review banner), has by far been my most favorite way to show off the colorway.
I also had the chance to wear my 9 month old, 25 lbs nephew on my back and tested the Christina's Ruckless Back Carry waters for the first time. While he was completely content, and virtually weightless, I noticed that over time I felt some digging in my neck. This is because I had not placed the shoulder passes flatly or spread them all that great before I secured the carry. (Note to self: pay a little more attention to how you place your wrap as you go. But then again it was my first go with this carry.) Another possible factor: smoothness of this wrap. I found pulling out the slack to be so easy breezy. Anya always worked WITH me, making it easy to mold the carry and keep everyone secure and in place. I do think that it is important to note here that because Anya is so lightweight, it was easy to lose tension as I wrapped if I didn't keep the wrap pinned tight enough. (Pinning can occur between the knees, under the chin, under the arm, under the neck, or between the teeth and helps keep baby secure until you tie off)
Overall, I REALLY love this wrap for someone who has a little bit more of a flexible budget. ($149 for a size 6 is NOT BAD for a handwoven!) And if you are looking to wrap a smaller squish you are really going to get your money's worth because you are likely to be able to wrap your baby in Anya until you and your little end your wearing journey. I wouldn't mind wrapping a bigger kid with this as well, but because it is so lightweight I worry about it inadvertently digging. (will update post if I have the opportunity to do so!) I would love to have this wrap in my stash and think it would make a great addition for both experienced and novice wrappers. I look forward to seeing what Nunamoochie comes out with next!

Can Legal Aid help alleviate rural poverty in India?
by Jane Schukoske, CEO
Though many people do not know about it, there is a law in India that provides for marginalized groups to receive free legal aid. That includes legal awareness training as well as legal aid for disputes in court, legal aid for disputes to be negotiated in Lok Adalats (People's Courts, a forum to promote voluntary settlement of cases out of court). The law is the Legal Services Authority Act 1987. Under it, each district in India has a Legal Services Authority (LSA) required to organize legal aid camps, among other activities. They report to State LSAs, which report to the National LSA.
Many, many people are entitled to free legal aid in India. Women, children, and people with disabilities are entitled to free legal aid. Members of Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes (and, in Haryana and Punjab, Backward Classes), and "economically vulnerable persons" (Haryana's website states the income cut-off is Rs.1,50,000 per year for lower courts) are entitled to free legal aid. People in custody, including jails, prisons, protective homes for trafficking victims, juvenile detention centers, and psychiatric facilities, are entitled to free legal aid. Victims of human trafficking or forced labour, of natural or mass disasters and of ethnic and caste violence are all entitled to free legal aid. And there are more categories as well.
How can legal aid help the rural poor with the main problems they face? Legal literacy camps can raise awareness on schemes for Mid-Day Meal, Public Distribution System, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee, Integrated Child Development Services, Right to Education and Social Security Programs. They can explain how citizens can use the Right to Information Act. And of course there are a host of other laws to protect the public interest. Such camps are held by LSAs and NGOs in rural areas to get out the word.
Knowing the huge number of people who need legal awareness in India, the LSA system enlists the help of paralegal volunteers and law students as well as lawyers. Paralegal volunteers are people trained by legal services institutions to help the poor. They can explain to rural communities the application process for government schemes and appeal process if benefits are delayed or denied. Every law school and law college is required to have a legal aid clinic to work for the community in the nearby area. The LSAs are to establish legal aid clinics in villages and clusters of villages and law students can work with those clinics, too. And Haryana, for example, has a toll-free Helpline, 1800-180-2057, that citizens can call.
Is this LSA system a tool for raising legal awareness of the rural poor of their legal entitlements and how to claim them? Absolutely! NGOs can get out the word of this right to legal awareness so that more people seek legal aid. Law schools can further engage with LSAs to boost the human resources to help roll out this vision. Citizens who are eligible for legal aid can help this system work by visiting legal aid camps and clinics in their localities.

Personal protection comes in many forms - and for many, pepper spray gives them the security they need to run without fear.
I believe that basic knowledge of self-defense should be first and foremost in any situation, however, pepper spray can provide an extra layer of security provided that you can access it quickly and easily and you know how to properly use it.
Wrist Guardians is a product that allows for quick and easy access to pepper spray, while also keeping it secured to the wicking fabric with the chain (long enough that the canister reaches your hand) and also secured with elastic loops so it stays snug while running.
These features together, along with the sliding safety nozzle, avoid risk of accidental discharge, while still allowing easy access (I tend to hold the canister in my hand when I'm in a dangerous area or if I get the creeps - trust your instincts)!
If you DO carry pepper spray - know how to use it properly:
Slide the safety over to expose the nozzle
Scream "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME, MOTHERFUCKER" (or improvise)
Press the button with your THUMB and dispense in a zig-zag pattern (to get it in his eyes, mouth, skin, lungs, etc). Spray that shit everywhere!
RUN! Call 911 Recall as much detail about the perp as you can - height, weight, skin tone, clothing, any identifying marks (besides the blinded guy crying on the ground choking and gasping helplessly).
MARATHON-TESTED (by yours truly): My "Wonder Woman" Wrist Guardian stored 26.2 miles worth of snacks (um.. I mean "fuel") during the Chicago Marathon - a Clif Bar, Honey Stinger Waffle, Jelly Belly Sports Beans, Nuun tablets, and my medical insurance card (just in case they had to drag my body off the course - which wasn't all that far off).
Check out the intensity with which I am running this marathon....
Did I mention you can fit A LOT of snacks in this?

VUDU lands on PS3 next week
Sony's announced yet another perk for US-based PlayStation 3 owners: VUDU, the HD movie streaming service, is headed to an XMB near you next week. This news comes hot on the heels of the NHL announcing they will begin streaming live games to the console and Hulu Plus becoming available to the masses. Add in NetFlix, MUBI, and now the exclusive VUDU, PlayStation 3 owners have no excuse to not have anything to watch.
For those not up on the streaming video business, VUDU is similar to NetFlix, with a few key differences. The most obvious is the fact that VUDU, as a streaming only service, operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, thereby not requiring a subscription to access its content. Another key feature VUDU holds over NetFlix is the ability to rent or purchase most top movies right when they are released on DVD and/or Blu-ray, none of that waiting period mumbo jumbo. Add in the social aspect of the service, with the ability to suggest movies for friends via social networks, and VUDU sounds like a great deal for the impulse movie watcher.
VUDU will offer PS3 owners instant streaming movies in HD/HDX 1080p formats, with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 Surround Sound, starting next week. After downloading the app from the PlayStation Store, it will reside under the video icon, ready to launch when needed.

They took different routes, but they both made it.
Eric Pinkins, a linebacker and special-teams weapon for the Giants, and Christine Michael, a reserve running back and special-teams weapon for the Packers, saw their paths intersect Sunday in Green Bay, and were they excited.
The two former Seahawks pals spotted each other after a first-quarter punt, jumping and chest-bumping after the whistle was blown. It was an odd sight for two ostensible enemies on the field, but clearly friends off of it.
Pinkins spent 2014 and 2015 with Seattle as a teammate of Michael's, who began his career in 2013 with the Seahawks, with whom he's spent most of his professional time. He's also had a cup of coffee with Dallas and now with Green Bay.
Seattle cut Pinkins early this season, and he made his way from the Giants' practice squad to active roster. Friends in Seattle have left their first NFL home and reached the postseason, a heartwarming aside to a brutal game.

Mrs. Jennifer Wheatley and Mr. Doug Abend were in search of a group to work as research assistants, journalists, and reporters for a project involving veterans and Veteran's Day. After asking around for possible participants it was suggested to invite all of the students who chose to run for Elementary Student Council as they had demonstrated a desire to participate in an organization outside of the classroom.
The students who decided to participate are working on two different projects. The first involves the annual Veteran's Day Assembly and the video featuring local veterans. The new video will be titled, "Our Veterans" and feature students introducing their family members and friends who have been part of the armed forces.
To complete this project the students are asking for photos of local veterans with the information about their branch of service, time of service, and of course the student or students who will be introducing them should also have the information about their relation to the veteran. Mrs. Wheatley should have photos of veterans that were featured in the video last year (2014). Please contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to check or call the school at (417) 395-4191. The videos below give a "rough" idea of the group's vision for the project.
Please check this " List of Veterans with Pictures " to view the names of the veterans that the group has photos of from previous years.
The second and more long-term project is a search for veterans who would like to participate in the "Veterans History Project" which is a project of the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress. In order for this interview and information to meet the guidelines of the Library of Congress the submission must include;
1. A 30 minute interview with a veteran who served during wartime (audio or audio/video
2. At least 10 original photographs (High quality copies will be made for the veterans to replace the originals)
3. At least 20 pages of memoirs contributed by the veteran (students will be willing to help compose these memoirs using information from the interview)
Several members of the group visited with members of the local American Legion on Thursday evening, October 8th to describe the project and to see if there would be local veterans who would possibly be interested in being part of this project.
Several members provided the group with their contact information and suggested others who might also be possible participants. Further information about the project can be found at Veterans History Project

A prolific and precocious springtime "fruit," rhubarb looks like stalks of pinkish green or even magenta celery. Its flavor is much more tart, making it ideal company for sugar in sweet dishes like crisps, compotes, and pies (from which it gets its second name, "pie plant"). Rhubarb also lends a puckery-tart fruitiness to savory dishes and pairs very nicely with pork and poultry.
Rhubarb is usually sold without its leaves attached and for good reason: the leaves are poisonous. If you grow and harvest rhubarb yourself or buy it with the leaves attached, do not to eat or serve the leaves and keep them out of reach of children or pets. Rhubarb stalks are highly nutritious, containing loads of calcium, manganese, vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber, and a whole host of antioxidants.
When Is Rhubarb in Season?
Hothouse rhubarb is available most of the year, while field-grown stalks are available in early spring. The Pacific Northwest is lucky enough to have a second harvest of rhubarb between June and July. The short growing season means you should enjoy it when you see it.
Two Types of Rhubarb
There are two basic types of rhubarb found in markets and larger grocery stores: the older, traditional variety, with thicker, greener stalks, and the more intensely-colored, slender-stalked variety, sometimes called hothouse rhubarb. The deep red stalks certainly make for brighter, more attractive dishes, but the concentrated color indicates concentrated tartness and the greener stalks have a nicely balanced, mellow flavor.
Buying and Storing Rhubarb
Whatever their color, the stalks should be heavy and crisp with taut, shiny skin. Watch out for rubbery, fibrous, and dry stalks. Wash the stalks well and trim off the dry ends and leaves, discarding them (remember, the leaves are poisonous). They contain oxalic acid, as well as anthraquinone glycoside. Store trimmed, cleaned, and dried stalks in loose plastic in the crisper drawer of the fridge.
To freeze, cut the rhubarb stalks into 1-inch chunks and seal in an airtight bag. Frozen rhubarb will keep up to a year at 0 F.
How to Trim Rhubarb
Rhubarb leaves contain both oxalic acid and a more potent, unidentified toxin, so trimming and discarding them is essential. While it's tempting to peel the fibrous skin as you chop the stalks, try to resist it. The skin holds lots of color and flavor.
The Science of Cooking Rhubarb
Two things happen to rhubarb when it's cooked: its juices thicken and it falls apart into fraying shreds of translucent fibers. Heavily cooked rhubarb has the perfect jellied consistency for jams, chutneys, and compotes. It isn't so attractive when stir-fried or arranged on a tart. Quick heat yields tender but cohesive rhubarb pieces with rich flavor and a natural, glossy sheen.
Rhubarb Recipes
Rhubarb's tart fruitiness makes it perfect to use in desserts. If you have a craving for rhubarb desserts, try rhubarb crisp, easy rhubarb cobbler, or strawberry rhubarb crumb cake. Rhubarb's intense tartness makes it a nice foil for savory dishes, too. If you're in the mood to try a savory meal, try marinated pork fillet roasted on rhubarb. If you don't feel like cooking, try a simple snack and dip pieces of rhubarb in honey or sugar.

A Coffee and No Good Title Friday
It's funny how ideas and thoughts can be bouncing around in my head that I think would be great to share here, until I sit down to properly commit them to the page. Then everything feels flat, lifeless, and fake. It's like I'm trying to put on a show of some sort that isn't really me and that doesn't carry anything of substance, whether in terms of weightier matters or of the more light-hearted, whimsical ones. And as electronic crickets seem to angrily chirp from my husband's phone and U2's I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For plays of its own oddly-timed accord from our iTunes library, I find myself longing instead to quiet my mind for awhile in the familiar rhythms of cleaning our house. I want to work at something with tangible results. I want evidence of having been here and having done that.
And this week, for some reason, that doesn't seem to involve much writing. Oh, it's not that I have shut my eyes to the guideposts put along my path (not completely, at least). There's simply something there I can't quite put my finger on yet that I keep coming up against. It could be this resistance, this dip, requires me to pull over to the side of the road for a little bit longer so I can figure out what direction, exactly, I need to be moving in.
So I'm off for the weekend (in a manner of speaking – I still have my job to attend to this afternoon). And you know what? I don't feel bad about it. It would be worse to keep travelling on the wrong road, or in the wrong direction.
Happy Friday, y'all! And I hope you find the below video as delightful as I do (my nieces have good taste in music, I must say):

The new regulations that will govern commercial operations of small Unmanned Aircraft (Drones/Remotely Piloted Aircraft) will take effect on August 29th, 2016.
The FAA published an excellent, plain English summary of the new regulations HERE. So I will not duplicate that in this post.
If your operation does NOT fall under the requirements of 14 CFR Part 107 (Night, or >55 lbs, etc.), you may apply for a waiver. Guidance for such operations can be found HERE.
Do you already hold a pilot's certificate under CFR 14 Part 61? If yes, I will discuss that in Section 1. If not, please see Section 2.
If you already have a current flight review per 61.56 and a Pilot's certificate, your path to certification is fairly easy since you have already demonstrated your . Part 61 pilot certificates include sport pilot, recreational pilot, private pilot, commercial pilot and air transport pilot certificates (not student pilot).
Additionally you will need an account at www.faasafety.gov (free) and an IACRA account (free) to process the addition of this rating to be added to your pilot certificate.
Once you have these things ready to go, you can head over to begin the 2 hour course and short exam HERE.
Once those are complete you will print out your certificate of achievement that looks something like this:
You will then make an appointment with your local FSDO to approve the addition of your shiny new UAS certification.
Why Bother?
In aviation, if you receive ANY form of compensation for flying, that flight falls into the category of a commercial operation. That's right, even if that compensations is only gas money, or a cold beverage.
It is part of the FAA's mandate to protect the public, and this is one of the ways that they can do that. When the regulations were written, they were protecting people IN the airplanes. It's no secret that regulating Drones is and will continue to be difficult within a framework of regulations built for traditional aviation. Hence, Part 107...which is honestly a great step forward.
So what does it take?
Essentially it will take a herd of brain cells and $150.
What you need to do to obtain Part 107 remote pilot certification:
- Be 16 years or older and able to read, speak, write, and understand English (non-U.S. citizens can take the test)
- Have a drone that's less than 55 lbs and register it
- Study for the Part 107 knowledge test
- Make an appointment to take the test in-person at a Knowledge Testing Center (KTC) for $150
- Pass the 60-question, multiple choice exam with a 70% or higher (if you fail you must wait 14-days to retake the test)
- Complete form 8710–13 via the FAA IACRA system
- Receive your permanent remote pilot certificate via mail
That's it! Happy flying and go Source the Sky!

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 free games pc download
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Download game
The next installment of the Resident Evil series, this time being the follow-up to the warm-up of Resident Evil: Revelations 2012. The production action takes place in a completely new location where we fight with hordes of zombies. Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield are the main characters in the production. Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is yet another revelation of Capcom's famed survival horror series. At the same time it is a continuation of the warm-up of Resident Evil: Revelations, which was originally released in 2012 on the 3DS handheld, and a year later it was converted to consoles and PCs.
Description of the game
The production action takes place in a completely new place, and among the main characters ran out of "one" characters. As a result, neither Jill Valentine nor Chris Redfield will be present during the game. This time we can take on the famous Claire Redfield fans and Moira Burton – daughter of Barry Burton. Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was set between the events of Resident Evil Five and Six. The adventure begins just after the awakening of the heroines who were abducted and abandoned in a prison on an abandoned island. While playing as Claire Redfield, the gameplay is based on fighting zombies, while Moira Burton supports our partner in action, giving herbs healing, flashlights, etc. The creators have enabled the campaign to go both alone And in cooperation mode, but only in the case of Redfield death will see the screen on the screen "Game Over". During the design of the game, the creators listened to the fans' requests, making it more focused on survival than on action.
Story of game
The Resident Evil series has been looking for its identity for a long time. After a sensational entrance, the creators got lost trying to follow the current fashion, thus losing the most important features of the cycle that defined the survival-horror genre. The bigger surprise was the release of a very successful and drawn hand from the classic parts of Resident Evil: Revelations, which originally debuted on the portable Nintendo consoles. After a few years they decided to follow the blow in the new distribution formula and so this month, the first episode of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 appeared on the market this time. This time on all major platforms. Impressions of the first two episodes I have already divided, so time to evaluate the whole. Not wanting to keep everyone in tense, I will begin by saying that it could have been worse. I think it's still not the Resident I'd like to see, but it's clear that something in the series – condemned by me some time ago to doom – starts to move. Rev2 is simply a very unequal game, with some great solutions and moments as well as very clear "moments of weakness". It is quite good in this juxtaposition of the plot, mainly because of the form of its presentation. In itself it is schematic and not very thrilling, it also does not sin too much originality, based on the already used many times ideas. But dividing it into two parallel threads with a slight shift of chronology, gave a pretty interesting effect. We have the opportunity to look at the same events from two completely different perspectives, and the shift in time illustrates the effects of all the actions taken by the other couple. In addition, this idea fits well into the "serial" formula adopted by the creators.

Workout Plan: How to Create Your Own Full-Body Routine | Greatist
Walk into the gym, head to the dumbbells or gym machines, do the same few moves you've been doing for a while, and then call it a day. Sound familiar? Us too.
And honestly, we're not even sure if those exercises are all that effective. The good thing is it's easy to figure out the best moves for your body and switch up your routine—without a personal training certification or advanced degree in kinesiology.
Building your own workout is not only straightforward, but it's also important. "Programming gives you a purpose," says Noam Tamir, owner of TS Fitness in New York City. "Otherwise it's like going on a road trip without a map."
The easiest way to get started is to learn your basic movement patterns. The ones we'll include here are:
Lower-body push
Hip hinge
Single-leg movement
Vertical push
Vertical pull
Horizontal push
Horizontal pull
Once you get the hang of it, you'll realize there's a near endless number of exercises that fall into these patterns—and that's the beauty of designing your own workout. Sayonara, boredom.
How to use this list: Below we've provided a brief explanation of each movement followed by beginner and advanced exercise examples. Do at least 1 exercise from each section for a well-rounded workout.
How it works: Pick a medium-heavy weight that will fatigue you by about 8 to 10 reps. If you're new to working out, do 2 to 3 sets. More advanced fitness fans can do 4 sets. Don't forget to warm up first (here's a dynamic warm-up you can do before any workout), and cool down and stretch out those tight spots after.

Haven't you watched a Star Wars movie and wondered about where some of the Jedi Insights come from in real life? When you listened to Yoda, haven't you wondered about the actual benefits of meditation? When you saw Mace Windu fight with a lightsaber, have you wondered how real swordplay can affect your life? When you heard Obi-wan Kenobi mentor Luke Skywalker on both, didn't you wonder about the connections between the Jedi path and real world wisdom?
Join fun and informative conversations (one or two hours) that explore how Jedi Insights on life from the Star Wars movies reflect the teachings of real meditation, martial arts and spiritual masters, particularly Takuan Soho (a 16th century Buddhist monk) and Miyamoto Musashi (a 16th century samurai). We also explore how Joseph Campbell has mapped out the heros' journey across time and many cultures and how it applies to our lives. Guided meditation and gentle movement suitable for all levels, abilities and bodies will supplement the experience. If you like, do bring your (toy) lightsaber. Sith, bounty hunters and Storm Troopers looking to turn away from the Empire and join the Rebellion are welcome.

This is such an amazing recipe to start your day with but it's also a fantastic gentle introduction to egg for your little one(s)- especially when its served with a drizzle of date syrup, a dollop of coconut yoghurt and a handful of blueberries!!! I, however, personally love the savoury option- loaded with smashed avocado and smoked salmon/ or crispy bacon. It makes me hungry even thinking about it...
BLW tip: my daughter loves it when I cut the bread into fun shapes with biscuit cutters. Stars and gingerbread men for Christmas breakfast?!
Serves 1 adult or 2 small children
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp olive oil
2 slices of country bread, cut thickly
Combine the egg and milk and pour into a shallow bowl or plate with a lip. Place the two pieces of bread on the plate and allow them to absorb the mixture. After 1 minute, turn and allow the other side of the bread to absorb the mixture- it will become very soggy.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a shallow frying pan and after 2 minutes of soaking add the bread to the hot pan. Cook for 1-2 minute or until golden brown. Carefully turn over the bread using a fish slice and continue to cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.


text: Is AdSense smart about which ad types to use for each ad unit? For example, I have an ad unit that performs really well with Images but not Flash, and vice versa with another one. I know that Google says that they will always try to put the highest performing unit (i.e. only an image if you could make more money off of it than a text ad), but what if text ads have such a higher CTR that images drive down your overall CTR and therefore your CPC and eCPM?

I often hear, what is sand blasting and why should I get it done on my parts? Sand blasting is one of the main ways to ensure that the powder coating process not only goes as smooth as possible, but also ensures that the final product stays strong and endures the elements and the test of time. Powder needs a surface profile in order to properly adhere. If you have ever bought cheaper powder coated fencing at hardware stores, and the powder chips off in strips or sheets, it probably was not properly prepped. Although sandblasting adds more upfront cost, it ensures that the powder properly adheres to the metal, saving you from major problems down the road.
Sandblasting is the most common form of media blasting, you are essentially using compressed air and sand to strip the metals clean and give it the profile the powder needs to stick. If you have ever used sandpaper, it is essentially the same idea. Although sand is the most common, everything from glass, to steel and walnut shells are used for all kinds of different substrates. Everything from wood to glass and plastic can be media blasted, depending on what media you use.
Before blasting
When looking for powder coating near you, be sure to consider several different factors when deciding what kind of prep you are needing on your parts. Have they been previously painted or rusting? Probably want to find someone who can sandblast. In my opinion pieces that get sand blasted have the highest chance of success and turn out the best looking products. If you are dealing with a piece that has been previously painted or coated, you never know how well that piece was prepped. When we first started, we realized pretty fast that sandblasting to bare metal is the best solution, too many times we ran into situations where the old powder was poorly applied, making the top coat fail just as fast as the bottom coat failed. Especially with projects that are going to be exposed to harsh elements like salt water and snow, you need to be 100% sure that the product is properly prepared and the powder will hold. The quality of the powder coating job is only as good as the preparation that was done before the powder is applied.
This same concept works the same if your powder coating, or painting the substrate, especially with paint since it tends to show more imperfections than powder. With powder you have the advantage of some powders covering up imperfections more (thermoplastics for example are shot very thick and can cover up grind marks or bad looking welds.) No matter if we are painting or coating a piece, we always blast it if we can, it is one of the best ways we can ensure that our finish will goes on smooth the first time and look great every time.
after blasting
Within the last few years the popularity and efficiency of automated powder lines has skyrocketed, with that blasting is often replaced with a chemical process that "etches" the metal giving it the profile needed by powder. While this is a great and sometimes easier way to prepare metal for powder, there are problems and situations where this just doesn't work. Unless your product is fresh metal, blasting is the only way to ensure all the oils, previous coatings, or rust is removed. For smaller shops it is also difficult to constantly ensure your chemical levels are exactly where they need to be in order for the etching process to work. If you can get the system and flow down for chemical etching, it can extremely speed up the efficiency and turnaround times of a shop. Since substrates like most aluminum and thin sheet metal cannot be sandblasted, the only other option is the prep the pieces by hand which can eat up a lot of time and man powder.
With so many different material options, blasting can be done on tons of different substrates. It is very popular for restoring older car parts that have been damaged by rust and time. Old lawn furniture is also very popular for blasting, years of use and layers of paint or powder can be impossible to remove without blasting. A form a blasting called soda blasting, using sodium bicarbonate or baking soda to restore and clean objects that are too fragile for media blasting. One of the early examples of soda blasting is in 1980 when it was used to restore the Statue of Liberty. A great benefit to soda blasting is it's ability to be mobile, allowing for a vast array of options. Everything from graffiti removal to cleaning boats and satelite dishes.
We have gone over some of the things that blasting is great for, but its not the best solution for everything. If your product is made of very thin metal or sheet metal than blasting may not be the best solution. If the substrate is thin, the heat generated from sandblasting, as well as high air pressure, is enough to warp and possibly destroy what you're working with. Aluminum is also a tricky substrate to blast, depending on how thick it is, it can be warped in the blasting process as well. In these situations, having a way to chemically clean your parts is essential to making sure the powder sticks as well as it needs to.
We sometimes get asked if we can blast wood and if it is a good idea or not. Blasting wood is an entirely different ball game when compared to blasting metals. It all depends on the skill of the person blasting and knowing the right pressure, media, etc to use. We have very rarely blasted wood, and it has been mostly for wood signs. Blasting can give wood a really great look once stained, however it is a scary process considering wood can be very easily damaged. If you are looking for wood blasting, be sure to ask a lot of questions before handing over your work to someone.
If you are bringing something that you think might be a bit more fragile, make sure to discuss with your local coater the process they go through, and see if he or she has done what your bringing to them before. If you are getting wheels redone and they don't usually work on wheels, it might be a good idea to shop around and find someone who does them more often. The blasting process can irreversibly damage wheels if not done properly, using steel shot for example on aluminum wheels is going to end badly.
Once broken down, walnut shells can be used as well.
This may seem like a lot of work, but in the end of the day you want your product or customers work, to be the best and highest quality it can be. Skipping this step is tempting to save money and time, but more often than not it ends up ruining the finish years down the road. The only way to successfully do that is to take out as many variables as possible for failure, sandblasting is the best way to ensure that the powder will come out looking beautiful and do its job for years and years.
Great substrates to have blasted
- Steel
- Old metal furniture
- restoring car parts
- Off road vehicle parts
- Copper parts can be blasted lightly
- Fencing
- Playground equipment
- benches
- handrailing
- Thick aluminum
- Glass
- Vacuum sealed drinking cups
Substrates to stay away from with blasting
- Thin Sheetmetal
- Thin Aluminum
- Wood ( Wood can be blasted but it is very difficult, consult your blasting company before you bring them wood. It can be permanently destroyed very easily. When done right however it can be very beautiful. Ask about Soda blasting if you need wood done.)
- Plastics can be media blasted, like wood however it can be very difficult and there's no going back after its done.

They seem to be rare, but there's a handful of cops out there who actually possess a sense of humor and value laughs over lockups. These are the cops you'd wanna get pulled over by.
1. Canadian police at a marathon. Luckily they were going under the speed limit.
2. Doing drugs doesn't pay, kids. Well, unless you're the police. Then it literally pays you in hummers.
3. Maysville police with a great idea.
4. Very considerate popo.
5. That's police brutality right there.
6. And again.
7. Police getting into the meme game.
8. Act quick! Going fast!
9. This man is so pleased with his pun. As he should be, though.
10. Too many.
11. When the fire department is next to the police station. Firefighters have jokes, too.

Business Loans for Bad Credit
When applying for a traditional business loan at a bank or credit union there are many reasons you could potentially be denied. One of the most common reasons for being denied a loan is your business credit profile.
Even businesses with strong growth and profit margins can be denied a loan if the lender isn't comfortable with the business's credit score. When business owners are turned down for loans based on their credit, they have a few options.
While some are tempted to use their personal assets like home equity and retirement funds to keep their businesses going, it isn't always your best bet. Before you risk losing such important things, consider some of these business financing options that don't require flawless credit.
What Are Small Business Loans for Bad Credit?
Business loans come with all sorts of terms, requirements, and repayment periods. Because of which, many of these funding options do not place as high of an importance on credit score as others.
We pulled together some of the best funding options for businesses with bad credit to help you find a funding option that best suits your needs.
Types of Small Business Loans for Bad Credit
Merchant Cash Advance
If your business typically has a high volume of credit/debit card transactions, you may be a good candidate for a merchant cash advance. With a merchant cash advance, you sell a portion of your future credit/debit card sales to a third party in exchange for money you can use right away.
The third party then collects a percentage of your daily credit card sales until the total amount of the advance is repaid with interest. Since merchant cash advances are viewed as being a transaction rather than a loan, they can be an option even for businesses that don't have the best credit scores.
Invoice Factoring
Do you have a business that typically deals with long billing cycles? Many businesses that need to wait 30, 60, or 90 days for customers to pay their bills end up encountering temporary cash flow shortages while they wait. If this is a situation you find yourself in, invoice factoring is something you could consider.
With invoice factoring, some or all of your outstanding invoices can be sold at a discount to a third party known as a factor, who then collects from your customers. Since this arrangement hinges on your customers' ability to pay their bills, your business's credit score is less of a factor.
Invoice Financing
Invoice financing is similar to invoice factoring, but it isn't exactly the same thing. While invoice factoring involves selling your unpaid invoices to a factor, invoice financing is simply a loan based on the amount of your unpaid invoices. Your customers continue to pay you as they normally would.
Equipment Financing
All businesses need equipment to be able to operate. Equipment loans are a great way for businesses to get the equipment they need without being hit with a large upfront cost. Since these loans can be secured by the equipment itself, lenders are able to be more flexible about their requirements, including the borrower's credit score.
Sometimes, a business only needs a small amount of money. While many types of business loans are intended for established businesses with strong credit scores, microloans are an option for startups, young businesses, and businesses that have never borrowed from a bank before. Since microloans are for such small amounts of money, they are a type of short-term loan.
Equity Financing
Instead of dealing with banks or credit unions to get the funding they need, some business owners choose to pursue equity financing instead. Equity financing is when you find investors for your business, who then become part owners in your business. Investors are going to be more interested in your business plan and your long-term goals rather than your credit score.
Pros and Cons of Business Loans for Bad Credit
Many types of loans that are the most accessible to businesses with bad credit scores are short-term loans. Since these types of loans have shorter terms than traditional business loans, they have higher interest rates and are for smaller amounts of money.
Although the funds you receive from a short-term loan can generally be used for many different purposes, the fact that they are short-term loans means they're best suited for handling temporary cash-flow interruptions and short-term expansion projects, not making major investments.
Even if the types of business loans for bad credit don't have the best terms, paying them off as scheduled can help improve your credit score, which would make it possible for you to get a larger loan with better terms later on.
Applying for a Small Business Loan With Bad Credit
If you're interested in applying for a merchant cash advance, invoice factoring, or invoice financing, you'll have a faster, simpler application process to deal with than you would with a regular business loan. Short-term loans typically require applicants to provide things such as:
- Past bank statements and business tax returns
- Your business license/certification
- A copy of your driver's license/other government-issued identification
- P&L statements
Equity financing and microloans are going to require more time and effort to prepare for. Anyone who may be interested in investing in your company will want to see a very detailed business plan. And although microloan lenders are typically more willing to give loans to new businesses and businesses that aren't able to get loans through a bank, that doesn't mean microloans are necessarily easy to get.
If you're applying for a microloan, the lender will also want to hear about your business plans, how you plan to use your loan, and how exactly it will help you become more profitable in the long run.
How Does Business Credit Affect Lending Decisions?

Reset your local wordpress password easily
While building my theme I installed wordpress with lots of sample data and I realized.
I forgot my password and couldn't recover it even with a "forgot password" link. So after
playing around for 30 mins, I reset my password. This is how.
WordPress admin login error happen for two following reason:
- User may forgot the admin password
- User might have entered wrong site url in setting tab
go to your mysql administrator (usually called as phpmyadmin)
- select your wordpress database
- run the following update query with your password as in bracket using sql tab
SELECT 'wordpress' //this should be your database name
UPDATE `wp_users` SET `user_pass` = MD5( 'password' ) WHERE `ID` =1 LIMIT 1 ;
where password is your new password. Your password is reset, for the admin acount.
For admin side login problem, there might be another reason. You might have given wrong site
url. This can be update by the following query
UPDATE `wp_options` SET `option_value` = 'You site url' WHERE `wp_options`.`option_id` =1
It will update your site url in the wp_options table and it will solve your login error.

The King's Cross St. Pancras nexus - a novelty tube map
Just in time for the closure of King's Cross Thameslink and the opening of the Thameslink platforms at St Pancras this weekend, here is a complete diagram I've made of the whole complex, in the style of the tube map. It attempts to show every public passageway, escalator and entrance, and as far as possible it's geometrically as well as topologically accurate, so in a very approximate way the shape of the interchange blobs matches the shape of each interchange.
There are a few of the more obvious things I left out:
- None of the changes for the new King's Cross concourse are shown, though the new tube station passageways underneath it are.
- It shows all of St Pancras as open. The Circle and the coach station are not.
- Pancras Road continues further north.
- The public part of the mezzanine level at St Pancras is not shown, but there's very little on it of note.
- The temporary diversion of the passageway to the Piccadilly Line is not shown.
- I couldn't be bothered drawing separate lines for GNER/NX East Coast, Hull Trains, Grand Central, etc.
- It's in Gill Sans, not New Johnston.

Early this morning in Moffitt Library, reports say student Cam P. Nile finally emerged from the fourth-floor bathroom stall after going missing for eight hours. His friends say they arrived at Moffitt at 4 p.m., and their friend had gone to the bathroom the moment they arrived.
"He hates the bathrooms in Moffitt, so at first I was confused — like, why was he in there so long? We started thinking he just straight-up ditched us," said Nile's friend.
Nile actually didn't ditch his friends. He had been struggling with the automatic flush for eight hours until he got it to finally work. He described it as one of the worst experiences of his life. According to Nile, the stall he was in had toilet paper everywhere and a worse smell than usual, making the eight hours the longest of his life.
"I felt like James Franco in that '127 Hours' movie, when he was stuck between those rocks. I was literally ready to saw off my arm if it meant I could get out of there," Nile said. "I kept waving and waving but nothing seemed to work. I started to wonder if I had become a ghost or something."
There's a social practice all over the world in which people will not leave the bathroom before the automatic toilet flushes. Normally, if the bathroom has a manual flusher, people can control when they leave; with the automatic flush, one's fate is left in the hands of a motion detector. There have been no reports of an automatic toilet taking this long to flush.
"Hell no, there was no way I was leaving that stall until it flushed. It's totally embarrassing! Especially since it's an all-gender bathroom, literally everyone would witness me leaving without flushing. It's gross and there's no way I was going to just let someone else come in with everything just … there," Nile said.
As gallant as his motives were, they came at a big personal cost. He had both a midterm and paper due the next day, both of which he didn't end up studying for or finishing because of his bathroom adventure. He had hoped his GSIs would understand and give him an extension, but no such extension came. His GSIs could not understand why he would spend eight hours in a bathroom stall.
"Cam has always been a good student, so I'm not sure what came over him," said his GSI. "Like, just leave it, man! There are more important things to worry about! Undergrads are ridiculous."
Nile felt that he came out of this incident stronger than ever, despite a sharp drop in his GPA.
"Waving your hands and body at a wall for eight hours straight changes a person," Nile said. "I think that I've really started to put life into perspective. Like, who knows when the next time I get stuck will be? Will I get stuck in a bathroom stall? Stuck in jail? Stuck between two rocks? Who knows. But I welcome the next challenge with open arms."
This is a satirical article written purely for entertainment purposes.

So - I'm finally updating my website. I can't believe I've put if off for so long. Seeing as it's not almost 2014 - I think it's time to refresh somethings.
So much more work to be done, but it's getting there. I'm really loving squarespace. It's making my life so much easier already.
Anyways. I think from now on, I'll start using this blog to document all my creative stuff, and maybe stop spamming all my social media outlets.
Some stuff I've been working on:

8 Ways to Stay Safe This Christmas While Driving
by: Auto Giant
Celebrating the Christmas break with loved ones is important. Every year when Christmas rolls around, there are increased numbers of people taking to the roads to travel and visit family and friends.
Because of the increased numbers of people on the roads, there is also an increase in the risk of accidents when driving. Adding to this is all the Christmas parties and various end of year celebrations – where some people think hopping into the car after a few beers seems like a reasonable thing to do.
In Queensland and across Australia, drink driving and driver fatigue is a huge factor – with over one in five drivers and riders killed on the roads exceeding the legal BAC (blood alcohol concentration) limit. Considering how much we all know about the dangers of drunk driving and driver fatigue, it's astounding that people still drink drive and drive tired. Now, while you might not be the type of person who thinks drink driving is a good idea, you're going to be sharing the road with people who might. So, you need to be doubly aware of the potential risks on the road this silly season.
1. Seatbelt Safety
How important is your seat belt? Well, let me tell you some facts about seat belts. In the modern car seat belts are designed to stretch at a certain rate so when the air bag is deployed they give you a cushioning effect for minimal impact to the steering wheel. So a seatbelt could potentially save your life. So if you decide not to wear a seat belt, firstly you're most likely going to get a hefty fine, but moreover, you could be risking your life as the air bag will deploy and in most cases this will cause serious injury to yourself or others. So many fatalities can be prevented by people wearing seatbelts, so make sure that your seat belts are fastened at all times.
Seat belt Visual safety checks before your trip
- Seat belts retract easily to return to the closing position
- Seat belts are worn and fitted correctly when in use, with no slack in belt
- That they are not damaged in any way, and are in new condition at all times.
- Make sure that the buckle is good order this means when you insert the seat belt to the buckle that there is a positive connection.
- Children restraints are in good order and they are secured as per the manufactures instruction and product guide. (Child restraint points are secure and Australian Design Approved).
- Air Bag check light is off.
2. Speed Limits
Ah, you're running late, again. It's very tempting to adjust your speed just a little bit, however many studies completed show that speed does kill, so don't risk it this Christmas. Speeding is a huge factor in road fatalities, with around one-third of all fatalities being caused by speeding drivers. Death or injury – at any time of the year – is obviously a catastrophic and terrible thing for the people involved. Don't be another statistic, be safe on our roads your family needs you.
3. Roads & Road Conditions
Often over the holiday period you will be driving on unfamiliar roads and sometimes on country roads. If this is the case, be aware that the road conditions might not be the same as your local roads. As such, you need to be aware of pot holes, rough surfaces, single lane roads, unmarked lanes, rail road crossings, livestock wandering onto the road and various other hazards. Be aware and keep an eye out on the road.
4. Plan Ahead / Driver Reviver
When you're setting off on a road trip to a new destination, it's a good idea to have a plan. Consult a map and plan where you're going to stop and be sure to pack snacks and games to keep kids occupied if you're making a long trip. It is always a great idea to keep some water accessible to the driver so that they can keep hydrated throughout the trip. It is proven that if you plan to stop every 3 hours you can reduce driver fatigue considerable, so let's plan our trip this Christmas.
5. Driving Tired
This one seems like a bit of a no-brainer, but consider this scenario. It's late on Christmas Day afternoon, the kids are grizzly and you're just saying goodbye to your extended family as you set off on the two-hour drive home.
You had a couple of light beers earlier with lunch, the beers combined with sitting in the hot sun all day, has left you feeling a bit tired. You drink some water and set off, even though you feel a bit fuzzy. You'd love not to have to drive right now, but everyone needs to get home. Often, we don't choose to drive tired, but the circumstances demand it of us.
Whether you're placing unrealistic pressures on yourself to drive, or you feel like you don't have any other option – fatigue can kill. So if you feel like you aren't right to drive, take rest before you head off, just to refresh the batteries. Don't be a statistic this Christmas. Be safe this Christmas and enjoy the Christmas festive season.
6. Driving Conditions
Whether it's the weather conditions or just heavy traffic, make sure you're driving to suit the roads you're on. Ensure a safe following distance and make an effort to be extra vigilant for the safety of your own family/car passengers and other people on the roads.
7. Identify The Safest Routes For Your Trip
If you're travelling during storms, know flash flooding can occur. Remember the slogan: "if it's flooded, forget it." There's almost always another way around flooding or unsafe conditions – so even if it adds more time onto your journey, don't risk it. Take the safe route.
8. Trailers, Caravans & Campers
Most Caravans, trailers and campers sit all year round until we make the decision to head of on our holiday. We At Auto Giant recommend that a regular service is a sure way of making sure that everything is in order and working safely as you hit the road this holiday season. If you need some tips, just give us a call at Auto Giant for some professional advice.
Safety checks
- Light operation check
- Towing capacity
- Tow bar load rated and secure
- Tow ball weights and correct towing angles
- Vehicle tyre pressures are raised to suit towing weight
- Correct vehicle ride height
- Correct mirrors fitted to your vehicle
- Caravan serviced and inspect before the road trip
- Gas Systems inspected for leaks
- Dual battery charging systems
- Chassis inspection and tow connections
- Load ratted D shackles for your safety chains
- Keep your cool
There is a lot going on over the festive season. We get it! But just because you're stressed out about Christmas doesn't mean that you should blow off steam by cursing at a fellow driver, or by driving aggressively. Maintain using the left lane for regular driving and the right lanes for passing traffic, use indicators for 15 seconds in advance to show other traffic your intentions to change lanes, look beyond the vehicle in front of you for accidents and slowing traffic, if you can see traffic is stopped ahead pump your brake pedal so your stops lights are flashing this will alert the driver behind you to slow down so this doesn't cause a rear end accident. We At Auto Giant promote safe driving to keep you safe this Christmas.
We hope you and your family have a safe and happy holiday. For all your automotive needs or if you want to get your car serviced prior to setting off on a Christmas road trip, please get in touch With the team at Auto Giant on (07) 3881 2900 or contact us online. www.autogiant.com.au

In a local area network (LAN) or intranet, there are many pieces of hardare trying to gain access to the network transmission media at the same time (i.e., phone lines, coax, wireless, etc.). However, a network cable or wireless transmission frequency can physically only allow one node to use it at a given time. Therefore, there must be some way to regulate which node has control of the medium (a media access control, or MAC, protocol). Ethernet is a MAC protocol; it is one way to regulate physical access to network tranmission media.
Ethernet networking is used primarily by networks that are contained within a single physical location. If you need to design, install, and manage a network in such an envronment, i.e., home or small business office, then Ethernet Networking for the Small Office and Professional Home Office will give you an in-depth understanding of the technology involved in an Ethernet network.
One of the major goals of this book is to demystify the jargon of networks so that the reader gains a working familiarity with common networking terminology and acronyms.
In addition, this books explains not only how to choose and configure network hardware but also provides practical information about the types of network devices and software needed to make it all work. Tips and direction on how to manage an Ethernet network are also provided.
This book therefore goes beyond the hardware aspects of Ethernet to look at the entire network from bottom to top, along with enough technical detail to enable the reader to make intelligent choices about what types of transmission media are used and the way in which the various parts of the network are interconnected.
- Explains how the Ethernet works, with emphasis on current technologies and emerging trends in gigabit and fast Ethernet, WiFi, routers, and security issues
- Teaches how to design and select complementary components of Ethernet networks with a focus on home and small business applications
- Discuses the various types of cables, software, and hardware involved in constructing, connecting, operating and monitoring Ethernet networks

Morganite belongs to the same gemstone family as emerald and aquamarine, beryl It was given its name in 1911 by American gemologist George Frederick Kuntz.
