She was a loyal car, that Dodge Intrepid. In the 24 months we were together we saw fourteen states, worked in deserts and in the mountains of northern New York. We spent days on the interstate, chasing the sunset across the great plains, getting pulled over outside Winslow one morning coming back east and talking our way out of a ticket when we found out the officer was from back east too. We drove the unpaved back roads of Colorado, Utah, the Adirondacks and the Finger Lakes. We dodged mule deer and white tails. Prairie dogs and raccoons. One night I saw a mountain lion out her windshield slowly walking across US 40 along the Utah-Colorado border.
Perhaps the craziest trip we took together was from Vernal Utah to Dragon. Dragon is a ghost town, reached via a series of one and a half lane dirt roads in this high desert, scrub bushes dot the landscape and pronghorns sometimes appear in the corner of your vision. The road was paved as far as Bonanza, where the current Gilsonite mine is. From there it's dirt for the next 25 miles, with no water to be had. If you end up making this trip, or any trip even on an interstate in the West, you should always have water in the car. I personally kept a minimum of five gallons in my trunk at all times out west. As ghost towns go, Dragon isn't the most amazing. All the buildings are gone, but thanks to the BLM there are interpretive signs placed so you can tell what was here 70+ years ago. A few dug outs still pierce the hillsides, and a sidewalk leads to the foundations of the school house, but gone are the sheep pens, the hotel, the town library and the railroad terminal support buildings. While it's an interesting site to visit, the most spectacular part of the drive is the view of the White River just south of Bonanza. The road crosses the river on a high bridge above the canyon and the view to the east towards the Colorado border gives you some idea of what it must have been like for the people who came into this part of the Uintah Basin.
If you decide that you want to visit Dragon, be sure that you bring water and have a full tank of gas. Phone contact will be difficult, so be sure to let someone know where you're headed. Check the weather forecast before you leave, because this is NOT a road you want to be on if it rains. Honestly, I would not recommend a car for this drive, a pickup or SUV would be a safer choice, remember; safety first.

It seems that Dan Hannan's speech may at last have had an effect that the Twitter, My space, etc, Aficionados had not foreseen. With so much comment being aired in the MSM about how furious the population was over the speech about the NHS, it has again got the public engaging with a subject that no-one has dared to talk about.
Today's Telegraph carries an article by Dan Hannan, stating why he said these things, and by the comments pouring in, people are beginning to wake up to the fact that maybe the NHS is not the sacred cow that is made out to be.
Those politicians who have jumped onto the bandwagon to condemn the broadcast may actually have woken up the sleeping public at long last.

I live in Grand Blanc, Michigan and noticed an obituary for Mr. John Hopkins. I would appreciate if you would forward this note to his family. Mr. Hopkins was my gym teacher at Perry Jr. High in the early 1970's. I will always remember him as a very kind soul, sort of a gentle giant, especially to a kid in junior high! I will always remember being amazed at how many push ups he could do and at such a rapid pace! I never met any of his family but I want them to know that I am not alone in looking back and thinking about Mr. Hopkins as someone who had a positive influence on our young lives. I wish him his family Christ's peace.

Hi, Betty:
We are cousins; I was your Uncle Ted's youngest kid, the one who was (and continues to be) your age. I'm pretty sure I've got a photo of your dad as a young man with our beloved Grandma Ruppel which I'd be happy to send you. I did some genealogy stuff maybe 10-15 years ago, but subsequently lost interest. You do know the story of Grandpa Ruppel? I am retired; my wife and I live in a small town near Sacramento, CA. Shoot me an e-mail if you're interested. Best wishes. — Tom

Sudden Trip to Hong Kong (2004-05-17)
We took a sudden trip to Hong Kong last week after hearing KL's mom was in grave condition in the hospital and it could be our last chance to see her. We arrived in Hong Kong late at night on May 8 and left on the morning of 13th. We went to see KL's mom Sunday morning expecting the worst. To everyone's surprise she had actually improved and was no longer in a critical condition. During our few days in Hong Kong we didn't go to many places except the hospital, Tsimshatsui (where our hotel is), Causeway Bay (to change our HK Smart ID Cards) and Hung Hom. However I still managed to take quite a bit of photos even though the trip wasn't a sightseeing one, but often times they were taken in a hurry so some of them turned out blurry. I will be talking about Hong Kong for the next few days, or perhaps the whole week. If you are a diehard fan of Japan and not interested in HK, you might want to come back later for blogs about Japan again.
The first impression of Hong Kong I got from the moment we landed at
the airport was how courteous people were which was not how I
remembered Hong Kongers. Workers in the service industry were
extremely polite, smiled all the time and very patient. The
phrase "How may I help you?" could be heard everywhere from small
noodle shops to big department stores. Staff often greeted us
with a hearty "Welcome" and bade us "Thank You" upon leaving. I
was shocked at the level of courtesy that was extended to
customers. A public announcement on TV shows a popular actor
(Andy Lau) urging shop people to be nice to visitors and denouncing
those who aren't. Looks like the government has done a good job
educating its people the virtue of politeness.
When KL and I went to the Immigration Department to change our old
HK ID cards into the new Smart ID cards, the staff couldn't be
nicer. The process was fast, hassle-free and
free-of-charge. The officer who dealt with my application went
through every detail with me so patiently that he looked like he
actually enjoyed his job. It is a marked difference from the
government agencies' staff I used to know in the past or in other
countries (except Japan).
The hospital where we went to visit KL's mom was clean, modern and
big with friendly staff. I saw nurses caring for and talking to
patients kindly, porters chatting with patients while transporting them
in wheelchairs and doctors nodding at visitors. People on the
streets are also nice and helpful. The two ladies I asked for
direction when I was lost were eager to help and never stopped smiling
at me. I was really impressed. I wouldn't mind living in
Hong Kong after we have to leave Japan. From what I saw and
experienced in our short stay there, it already beats many other
countries hands down.

text: Rethinking Integrated Building Systems 11/01/2009 | By Rawlson O'Neil King New integrated BAS technology can provide continual building commissioning, ensuring that building controls are operating efficiently and effectively Building owners and operators often do not have the necessary dedicated personnel to solve problems. As a result, there's a tendency to solve building comfort and operational problems through simple triage vis-à-vis disabling BAS control loops or disabling equipment schedules. This approach is neither efficient nor effective. It simply recreates silo systems and applications that the BAS is supposed to integrate and make more economical and energy efficient. A newer strategy is to utilize integrated systems that leverage embedded intelligence, such as decision-making algorithms with a centralized control point, to simplify building management processes. The new algorithms perform automated data analysis to identify problems and suggest solutions using built-in expert systems from a visual point of reference, such as computer-based visual dashboards. The new systems are designed to automatically perform building commissioning on an ongoing basis, but without the time, disruption, and cost of a commissioning project. Building commissioning is the process of ensuring that all building subsystems, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire and life safety, and building security, are operating as originally designed. Building commissioning is a quality-assurance process. Normally, a commissioning firm is involved from project initiation to project completion. While the service methodology can vary from firm to firm and project to project, the basic formula for successful building commissioning involves a synergy of pre-construction review of design documents for compliance with the owner's performance requirements, periodic site observations during the construction phase, and systems testing as the project nears completion. While the practice of building commissioning is still fairly new in the construction industry, it has quickly become common practice as savvy building owners and developers seek substantial returns on their properties. The ultimate goal for a commissioning effort is, therefore, to deliver to the owner a project that's on schedule and under budget, and to deliver a building with fully operational and optimized systems on the first day of operation. A key concern, however, is how to maintain commissioning on an ongoing, go-forward basis once the building is in place or retrofitted. A building can always be re-commissioned, but integrated BAS technologies are emerging that allow property owners and managers to deploy control strategies to contain costs and create and enhance operational efficiencies for approximately the same cost through real-time, centralized control that provides commissioning on a continual basis. This centralized control is aided through the deployment of integrated, Internet-enabled building systems. Converged, Integrated Networks No other technology has had as profound an impact on the building automation technology market as the Internet and the benefits provided by ubiquitous and integrated information technology and standards, such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, and XML. Bringing together open communication protocols for control devices and IT provides building owners and operators with options and functionality at cost levels that were never possible before. The goal is to create an open, integrated infrastructure that supports real-time control systems, enterprise applications, and information flow. The fundamental technologies required to develop a converged network are available in the market at present. There are companies and technology suppliers delivering the various components, technologies, and services, as well as total solutions, which make a building intelligent and green from concept to operation. With a unified approach to monitoring, building systems can change the underlying infrastructure without changing the enterprise-level reporting mechanisms. This heterogeneous infrastructure creates more competition among technology vendors, begins to generate savings more quickly, and can generate an ROI payback of 2 to 3 years rather than over the course of a decade. The goal is to provide executives, managers, and staff with the information necessary to make better decisions more quickly on a real-time basis. Building owners and operators can save energy by enhancing connectivity and visibility to all of the applications in use in their properties. It's been estimated that, with an incorrectly configured or calibrated BAS, an estimated 20 percent of a building's energy can be wasted. A completely integrated BAS installation, however, can provide energy savings similar to what can be achieved through re-commissioning, with typical savings ranging from 5 to 20 percent. Using an IP network to connect all of the key elements of building services and communication systems, such as telephony, core networks and their applications, and wireless connections, offers tremendous potential for cost savings and improved functionality. Integrating intelligence is not only desirable, but it's becoming a mandatory requirement to provide building services that offer the best solutions and the simplest connections to real-time, web-based data that can be leveraged by the corporate enterprise. Fully networked systems indeed transcend integration to achieve interaction in which previously independent systems work collectively to optimize a building's performance and constantly create an environment that's most conducive to the occupant's goals. According to integrated building professionals, the convergence reflects an evolution of the building systems to an IP network, the financial advantages of building owners to integrate their systems, and the important role of the building systems in controlling energy usage and costs. Conventional buildings suffer from the inability to communicate and intelligently manage the large amount of data that they possess and generate. A converged, integrated network solution, on the other hand, allows a higher level of connectivity for a variety of products from multiple manufacturers. This results in benefits, such as cost effectiveness; process improvements in facility automation, monitoring, and management; and more efficient real estate portfolio management. Streaming building control and utility data into a shared network enables optimum management of facilities by connecting various silo systems and applications. Legacy system incompatibility, outdated information, a lack of historical data, proprietary system architectures, and dysfunctional operating processes are some of the hurdles that can be resolved by streaming building control and utility data into a shared network. This enables optimum management of facilities by connecting various systems and applications. The following examples highlight the benefits of using a variety of technologies for increased efficiency, cost savings, and asset management. Example No. 1: State of Missouri Driven by a new administration committed to a statewide sustainability program in 2005, Missouri consolidated its real estate portfolio by integrating operations, maintenance, lease management, real estate management, design and construction services, and capital planning. The goal of the new administration was to manage its portfolio enterprise and lower the cost of ownership by addressing energy efficiency, cost of deferred maintenance, operating costs, space utilization, and asset management. The state achieved this by integrating individual systems and buildings into a common user interface level. Operational activities in various building subsystems can be monitored to detect inefficient operating conditions, allowing for corrective action to be taken. The aim of the project was to bring rapid, quantifiable cost savings in five key areas: 1) utility bill management, 2) automated enterprise monitoring, 3) facilities communication infrastructure, 4) portal collaboration, and 5) business process management implementation and improvement. To manage its portfolio and reduce cost of ownership, Missouri had to determine what it owned in terms of facilities, locations, conditions, value, office space (leased and vacant), capital needs utilization, energy usage, and cost of energy. Integrating buildings and systems at a common user interface level enabled operational activity monitoring to detect inefficient operating conditions and allowed corrective action to be taken to bring buildings back to normal performance patterns. This visibility over facilities and assets has enabled Missouri to achieve an annual savings from the combined projects in excess of $35 million per year, an expected ROI of about 1 year on the investment, and a measurable reduction in the state's carbon footprint. The state had been spending $300 million annually to operate its building stock. Example No. 2: Ave Maria University Situated on a 908-acre campus in Florida, the Ave Maria University campus has 500,000 square feet of facilities, serving nearly 500 students and 200 faculty and staff. By resorting to single-party technology contracting, integrating systems management into a single network, and avoiding unnecessary and redundant cabling characteristic of conventional campus design, Ave Maria University has optimized capital budgets and time to achieve an outcome that is smart, scalable, and financially beneficial over time. As a result, Ave Maria University saved more than $1 million in building costs by eliminating the redundant wiring and cabling of multiple isolated building systems, reduced staffing costs by enabling IT to assume tasks of building maintenance staff with an estimated $350,000 savings annually in human resources costs, and enabled significant efficiencies in utility usage with an estimated $600,000 in annual savings. Example No. 3: Rogers Centre The Rogers Centre in Toronto is a world-class sports and entertainment complex that holds between 5,000 and 60,000 spectators. The complex contains approximately 7,000 lighting fixtures distributed over a total area of 1.4 million square feet. By combining addressable networking technology in conjunction with advanced control hardware and software, this retrofit was designed to maximize energy savings and provide an ROI that exceeded customer expectations. The Rogers Centre facility had an electricity bill exceeding $3 million annually. Currently, cost savings have reached $325,000 annually, generating an ROI of about 2.5 years. By the time the new BAS project is fully implemented, it's expected to generate a 76-percent savings in lighting energy expenses. With energy reductions of 3.7 million kWh annually, the project will have reduced its dependency on the energy grid equal to the energy required to power more than 400 homes in Toronto. The above examples demonstrate how smarter, integrated building systems can be leveraged to achieve better control and efficiency over resources. Rethinking an existing BAS implementation or pursuing a new integrated solution should be considered for new and retrofit commercial building construction projects.

Solo ads are rapidly becoming a favorite traffic paid source of lots of top digital marketers, affiliate online marketers and network marketers. So whether you are thinking about buying solo ads for digital marketing, solo ads for affiliate marketing or solo ads for multi level marketing, this short article will teach you everything you need to understand about solo ads.
Solo Ads Udimi
What Are Solo Ads? Solo Ads Udimi
Solo ads are paying someone with a substantial email list to send a link to your offer to their email list
You pay beforehand for each link click. The regular rate range is 35 cents – 85 cents per click.
You agree on the number of clicks and price per click up front with the solo ad supplier, then it's up to the supplier to email a big enough section of their list to fulfill your order.
Some vendors choose to compose the e-mail that contains your link themselves, others prefer to utilize your e-mail swipe. (This is normally flexible).
You must send solo ad traffic to an e-mail optin page, not directly to a sales page/order form.
Clickmagick is a requirement before you can start buying solos. Because if you are not tracking things, it is very tough to be profitable.
Click here to start your 14-day free trial of ClickMagick.
Most of individuals on solo ad suppliers email lists are in these specific niches: generate income online, home business opportunities, network marketing, affiliate marketing.
Don't anticipate front end sales. That's not the objective. It's simply a bonus when you get them.
If you wish to sound like you know exactly what you're talking about say 'I just purchased 100 clicks solo' not 'I just purchased 100 solo ad clicks'.
Solo Ads Udimi
Solo ad traffic can be found in 3 formats: Mixed Clicks, Clicks Solo and Funnel Clicks.
Clicks solo (also called 'pure solo traffic') suggests the clicks are coming from only from links in the supplier's e-mail broadcast
Funnel Clicks suggests the clicks are coming from a link click outside an email broadcast
( For example from a button on a thank you page of a funnel).
Mixed clicks are a combination of clicks solo and funnel clicks. 99% of solo ad traffic is mixed clicks, however we say 'solo ads' and 'clicks solo' informally to describe exactly what is actually mixed clicks.
Udimi is the premier solo ad marketplace with hundreds of suppliers. You can check out evaluations and compare vendors prior to purchasing. Udimi functions as a neutral 3rd party in between purchaser and seller, to make sure the vendor provides all your clicks as agreed. When you sign up for Udimi here, you'll get a $5 credit in your account, and an e-mail with all my best solo ad pointers and best Udiimi vendors.
Three Tiers of Solo Ad Traffic Quality Solo Ads Udimi
If you're buying solo ads (or intending on it quickly) it is very important to comprehend the 3 tiers of traffic quality.
You've most likely seen them pointed out before (T1, T2, T3).
ClickMagick will tell you the number of clicks on each solo ad purchase came from each traffic quality tier.
T1, T2 and T3 have standardized and broadly accepted definitions.
Here's how Clickmagick's assistance docs discuss the 3 tiers:
" So what exactly are the 3 "tiers" of traffic?
Tier 1 is "premium" traffic from these 5 English-speaking countries where you'll usually get the most opt-ins and conversions:
United States
New Zealand
Typically, this is the traffic you'll want.
Your conversion rates will merely be the highest with users from these nations (unless you're promoting a country-specific or other special deal).
Tier 2 consists of 43 countries where the majority of the remaining "good" traffic originates from:
British Virgin Islands
Costa Rica
Czech Republic
Hong Kong
Puerto Rico
Russian Federation
U.S. Virgin Islands
Tier 3 consists of all the other nations where few leads or conversions ever originated from …
… countries like Pakistan, Vietnam, Nigeria …
… and unless you're a professional at monetizing this kind of traffic you'll typically want to avoid Tier 3 traffic due to the fact that it's basically useless to the typical online marketer."
Best Solo Ads Suggestion
When choosing whether a solo ad run was a success, the most essential ClickMagick stat is CPA (expense per email subscriber).
CPA is an even more critical metric than Optin percentage.
This is since different solo ad suppliers charge different expenses per click.
Also solo ad vendors over-deliver on your order (give you additional complimentary clicks) by varying quantities.
CPA is the metric that essentially levels the playing field between various solo ad suppliers, as it encompasses the cost per click and amount of over-delivery into the estimation of the figure, whereas optin rate doesn't.
CPA allows you to easily and fairly compare 2 vendors that charge completely different prices side by side.
A lower optin rate from a supplier that charges a lower expense per click might be better than a higher optin rate from a supplier that charges a higher rate per click.
CPA does this calculation for you and allows you to objectively compare two dissimilar solo vendors similarly. Solo Ads Udimi
How to Choose if Your Solo Ad Run Was a Success
I always recommend frequently checking out new solo ad suppliers with a 100 click trial run.
Be willing to lose money on the test runs, in order to acquire valuable information in ClickMagick and to discover vendors that are undiscovered 'rough diamonds'.
But|However how do you understand whether a solo ad trial run achieved success or not?
Should you scale up to 300 clicks solo or not buy any more from them?
AnythingAny you require to rr choose whether a solo ad purchase was a success can be discovered in your ClickMagick stats.
Did they deliver your order as agreed?
You ought to not have to spend for any T3 clicks solo.
So take a look at whether the total T1 plus T2 clicks is equal to or greater than the number of clicks solo acquired.
Likewise, if a specific percentage of T1 clicks was agreed upon, ensure the supplier satisfied that requirement.
T3 clicks are acceptable, as long as the solo ad vendor offered you extra T1 and T2 clicks to make up for these.
What was your expense per email optin?
Ensure you're paying less than $2 per e-mail optin overall.
Did the vendor overdeliver on your order?
The industry standard is for vendors to overdeliver by a minimum of 10%. The more extra totally free clicks you get the better though.
Exactly what was the traffic quality rating?
ClickMagick will tell you the traffic quality rating of solo ads. ClickMagick traffic quality score goes from 1-100. You'll want to see a traffic quality score of 80 or higher on a solo ad purchase that provided you terrific outcomes.
Bear in mind, the aspect of ClickMagick traffic quality rating that is weighted the heaviest is traffic quality tier. So if you have 100% T1 clicks solo, this will predisposition your ClickMagick traffic quality score slightly upward. If you acquired 80% T1 or less, this will bias your ClickMagick traffic quality score a little downwards.
Percentage of mobile clicks
This is the negative aspect that you must provide the smallest weight to, however need to still consider to your analysis. It's been found that for some reason, individuals are more likely to optin to an email list or buy when on a desktop gadget. As such, desktop clicks solo are worth more to you. Preferably, you'll want to receive no greater than 65% mobile clicks on a test run, but not conference this metric must not be an offer breaker typically.
Finest Solo Ads Market
Udimi is among the most popular marketplaces to buy solo ads. You can browse reviews and compare supplier results and rates before making a solo ad purchase. Udimi acts as an independent 3rd party in between buyer and seller, to make sure the vendor provides your solo ad order as concurred.

Introduction Free Modern WordPress Themes
PremiumCoding is a group of theme developers who provide their particular theme club filled with over two dozen WordPress themes in a variety of different categories. They offer a mixture of premium and free themes as well as a wide range of different approaches to cover premium themes.
We're going to take a peek at the organization's theme collection in this review in addition to analyze their overall pricing strategy. Let us begin.
PremiumCoding Overview
PremiumCoding was set in 2010 as a two-man operation designing, building and uploading themes to ThemeForest on the Envato marketplace. They started their own theme club in 2015 and haven't looked back since. These days, the company has over 25 WordPress topics, eight staff members and over 28,500 clients.
PremiumCoding Themes
PremiumCoding includes over 25 WordPress topics in stock, as stated before. These themes can be found in six market classes and one additional category for complimentary topics. Here are the niche categories they provide:
Blog Themes
Business Topics
Multipurpose Themes
Ecommerce Themes
Personal Themes
Portfolio Themes
Blog Themes
PremiumCoding focuses heavily on blog themes. All their themes have blogging abilities, and they even offer a dozen topics designed specifically for professional and personal sites. Let's take a look at a few.
"Click here to sign up to PremiumCoding.com"
Camila is a superior blogging theme designed for creatives, but it can be utilized as a magazine theme for content-heavy websites. It uses a minimalist design that actually puts the focus on your content, particularly your own images. It's a fantastic option for bloggers who want to showcase their own images, for example traveling, beauty, fashion and lifestyle bloggers.
Freyja is a superior blogging motif designed for writers or book lovers, especially those who prefer the fantasy genre. It uses a Nordic design both in the colour scheme it uses in addition to the typography featured during its design. It includes four homepage and blog page layouts and utilizes Google Fonts if you want to change from the fonts it uses. Free Modern WordPress Themes
Hayes is a superior blogging theme designed for photographers and travel bloggers. It comes with multiple homepage variants and even lets you produce your own designs through the use of cubes. These blocks comprise Featured Articles, Upper Header, About Us, Revolution Slider and Instagram Feed.
Free WordPress Themes
PremiumCoding offers a number of free WordPress themes, which behave as"lite" versions for some of its premium topics. These are stripped-down variations of the premium motifs, but they still offer quite a bit of features. They are more or less designed to provide you with a flavor of their individual premium topics. The developer offers six free topics, as of April 2016.
It will still permit you to construct a complete website capable of showcasing your newest posts if you're a blogger and graphics if you are a photographer. It only excludes the capability to use the Revolution Slider and change colors.
"Click here to sign up to PremiumCoding.com"
PremiumCoding concentrates on blogging themes, but it does offer extra theme categories as well. Included in these are, as stated previously, portfolio themes, e-commerce themes, and business topics. It supplies a fantastic choice of portfolio topics and a few small business topics as far as amounts go, but its e-commerce theme set is a little light.
That is LandScape. It's technically a portfolio theme for photographers, but it has enough homepage demos and flexibility to be utilized as another blogging motif. It uses a minimalist design which really makes your image stick out.
Presenter is a business motif for entrepreneurs. You can also use calls to action throughout the webpage as well as display customer testimonials, your most recent blog articles and a slider featuring logos of those brands you work with/publications you have been showcased in, etc..
Marketeer is a distinctive kind of e-commerce theme. It's four-page designs, and it lets you use the power of articles marketing by featuring different layouts for blogs. It utilizes a clean layout overall, giving you great way to advertise your merchandise.
Plans & Pricing
PremiumCoding is a subject club, therefore there are many various approaches you can cover and access its own themes. Aside from using a free motif, you can purchase one motif, buy a one-year membership license or buy a lifetime membership license.
Whichever license type you purchase, the fundamental advantages are more or less same. You'll have access to upgrades and support for as long as your membership remains active, and you can use the theme on an infinite number of domains. The attributes change depending on which license type you choose with.
Buying a single-theme license only provides you with access to that specific theme. If you join the theme bar, you will have access to PremiumCoding's 27+ motif collection as well as any additional topics the programmer releases during your time for a participant (the developer releases a brand new theme every five to six weeks).
Prices for a year of membership typically vary between $89 and $129 while a life membership can be obtained for a flat charge of $269.
Final Ideas
PremiumCoding is a nice theme developer that offers an adequate assortment of WordPress themes and plenty of themes to pick from overall. The themes are also user friendly, whether you're a developer or a company owner/blogger who wants to design their own site. Free Modern WordPress Themes
The only drawback you may encounter as a programmer looking for a new motif club to utilize as a resource for the business is the programmer's limited supply of e-commerce topics. If the majority of your customers need sites, portfolios and conventional small business sites, however, this programmer would make a excellent resource to your company.

one of those days when
no one
no thing
can help me but myself.
one of those days when
no one
no thing
can help me but myself.
It's been a year.
Soon it'll be years.
I think about it smiling sadly, nostalgically, regretfully.
It's all like we feared-
Losing touch, getting bored, moving on.
Everything our innocent, delusional selves
Thought would never happen.
At least, that's what we voiced aloud.
Last year, we had things
Corny, but it meant something.
But now everything's uncertain,
I don't know you
You don't know me.
Am I the only one who cares?
Maybe, but I was the one who broke away
Too shy, too inhibited to stay remembered.
Too hasty, too insecure, too vague
Yet too proud, too aloof, too considerate.
Too tired, too sorry, too confused,
While you found yourselves
And with your new life, diffused-
My own self-fulfilled prophecy in the making;
At least you got to know you.
I still don't know me.

Texas Floods: Piles of Worms Mysteriously Show Up Along Roads
Park rangers in Texas had thought someone left spaghetti in the middle of the road.
Instead, the piles in the middle of Eisenhower State Park were actually worms, Park Superintendent Ben Herman told ABC News today.
Rangers were checking the back roads of the park in Denison, Texas, found on May 29 when they found the piles lined up in a near-perfect straight line.
"We're still puzzled why they decided to line up in the middle of the road," Herman said. "Even our biologist doesn't know why they're spaced so well and in the line."
Rangers decided to poke the piles with a stick to ensure that there were only worms in the spaghetti-looking clumps.
The worms stayed for two days before heading back into the soil and leaving behind their manure, Herman added.

McKenzie-Hastings Institute for Foot & Ankle Surgery in Suffolk, Virginia is pleased to offer our patients the latest cutting-edge technologies to assist in diagnosing and treating their foot and ankle conditions.
The state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment in our office ensures that our foot and ankle doctors are able to diagnose injuries and conditions quickly, plan the treatments most suitable for you, and perform the latest procedures to help resolve your foot and ankle problem as accurately as possible.
When you become a patient at McKenzie-Hastings Institute for Foot & Ankle Surgery, you will benefit from these leading technologies:
AmnioFix® Regenerative Injections
These regenerative injections can be used in the treatment of plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis to reduce inflammation at the site of injury and enhance soft tissue healing.
Arthroscopic or Minimally Invasive Surgery
If you require arthroscopic surgery to treat a foot or ankle condition, our foot doctors will use small incisions guided by a miniature viewing instrument, leading to a quicker surgery with a shorter recovery time.
Buzzy® Award-Winning Physiologic Pain Blocker
This unique pain-blocking device uses cold and vibration to provide natural pain relief without needles or injections. It works by gently massaging aches and desensitizing pain nerves.
For those who are needle-phobic, Buzzy® can also be used to block the pain of injections.
Computerized Gait and Pressure Analysis
All too often, back, neck, hip, or knee pain is a result of foot problems. Our foot doctors will perform a digital scan of your feet to help detect any structural abnormalities or imbalances within the feet that may be causing you pain. They will also visually observe you walking or running on a treadmill. Together the observation and digital scan will help our podiatrists learn more about your gait patterns so they can develop an effective treatment plan using orthotics, gait training, or both.
This minimally invasive therapy uses extremely cold temperatures to destroy nerve endings and relieve pain. It is most often used to treat plantar fasciitis, neuromas, heel pain, and other painful foot conditions.
Custom Bracing
We can fit custom braces to treat foot problems that may be caused by diabetic foot or other conditions. The brace helps to properly position the foot and ankle joints and can help relieve painful symptoms.
Custom Diabetic Inserts / Shoes
Since having diabetes can increase your risk of foot ulcers and infections, our podiatrists offer customized inserts and shoes. These can help protect the health of your feet by providing structure and improving blood circulation.
Digital Custom Orthotics
Our podiatrists use computerized 3-D imaging to more accurately fit shoe inserts called orthotics to treat your specific foot problems, including flatfoot, running injuries, heel pain, diabetic foot, plantar fasciitis, bunions, neuromas, Achilles tendonitis, and more.
Digital X-Ray
Our doctors use digital X-rays to create images of internal structures and help with diagnosis and treatment planning. These X-rays are especially helpful for diagnosing injuries quickly and efficiently with less radiation exposure compared to older methods.
Immobilizers and Splints
For gait disturbances, especially in children, our foot doctors offer knee immobilizers with nighttime foot and ankle splints. We also offer immobilizers to add in recovery from injury and post-surgery.
PRP Therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections may be used to relieve pain and promote healing in the foot and ankle, especially for sports injuries, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendonitis.
Sclerosing Therapy
Our skilled podiatrists may use sclerosing injections (alcohol injections) to help relieve pain caused by Morton's neuromas.
Shoe Modifications
Depending on the site and source of your foot pain, our foot doctors may suggest shoe modifications, including custom orthotics or custom diabetic inserts and shoes. These may be used when you have heel pain, tendonitis, hammer toes, or bunions, or foot pain related to arthritis or diabetic foot.
Supartz® Joint Injections
We use this non-surgical injectable treatment alternative, known as viscosupplementation, for ankle pain and ankle arthritis to promote cushioning and lubrication inside the ankle.
Advanced Treatments for Foot and Ankle Pain
If you're experiencing foot or ankle pain or problems, call (757) 638-1823 to make an appointment at McKenzie-Hastings Institute for Foot & Ankle Surgery in Suffolk, Virginia, or request an appointment online now.
If you have any questions regarding foot or ankle conditions or the advanced diagnosis and treatment methods that we offer, we're more than happy to help. For your convenience, we also have a full line of foot and ankle products in our office. Ask us about it today!

It ha10分彩导航网s almost become second nature for restaurants to incorporate seasonal ingredients in their menus. But Claret, a new restaurant opened in the 798 Art District, takes this idea a step further. The menu here is designed with traditional Chinese solar terms in mind, allowing guests to sample new tastes every half-month.
Flavors of nature
Sakashita Kiyono, owner of Claret, believes the best ingredients bring out the best flavor. Being a mother and a gourmet, she deeply values safety and freshness in food, and believes in the magic of hand-made cuisine.
From her perspective, foods can "talk". While you savor the dishes at Claret, you will be able to "hear" a symphony created by the ingredients on your plate.
A moveable feast
Just last Friday, Claret's opening date coincided with the last solar term day of springtime – Guyu, or Grain Rain. The tasting menu, centered on the delicacies of the month, takes diners on a culinary journey.
This five-course meal has much more than in-season bamboo shoots. A light-colored, elegant table setting creates an atmosphere of spring. Edible flowers decorating the food bring the blooming blossoms of Beijing indoors.

Last year I noticed a small weed in the natural parts of the yard that the bees seemed to be fond of, so I didn't have the heart to mow over it when I was cutting the lawn. I never identified this weed but it had small yellow flowers, and I've seen it in early summer since we've moved in. Since the bees liked it, I thought I'd let it go and spread as it didn't seem to cause any harm.
Well this year the weed is back and it has spread. Here is a shot next to the gardens in back:
The camera angle was quite low, so it makes the plant look taller. Actually it is only about a foot high. Well once again the honeybees, the bumblebees and the butterflies all seem to love the blossoms. It must be a good nectar or pollen plant for the bees, so I looked it up and found it was called Lotus Corniculatus or the common name: "Birdfoot deervetch". It's actually a pasture plant for grazing animals that is high in protein and high in nectar, which means my bees are turning it to honey!
Here is a close-up:

After last Tribal's surprise eviction (aren't they all at this point) Grant shows up at Redemption Island unsure if it was Rob or Phillip who betrayed him (it was both, buddy!)
Boston Rob is worried now that he's the biggest threat left. Rob you were the biggest threat the whole game, you just downplayed it.
Matt seems like he's in a better mood, enjoying his 29th day on Redemption Island. The final duel is announced to the excitement of all 4 evictees. Contestants have to keep their foot on a see-saw type board to keep a vase balanced. An endurance challenge. After 40 minutes Grant is the first to drop his vase. I suspect they were better fed on Redemption than in the game. Matt, Mike and Andrea are left. Matt drops his next and is FINALLY out, his first duel loss. Undefeated dueler Mike drops his vase and Andrea gets to re-enter the game! Only Phillip claps for her lol.
Nobody is happy to see Andrea back at camp since they had voted her off already. Andrea gets to work telling everyone that the Redemption Islanders wanted to vote for Phillip, a lie. She is crafty. Rob and Phillip are worried the three girls are going to team up.
At the Immunity Challenge, contestants have to race across a balance beam, collect bags of tiles and order them up from 1 to 100. The balancing seems like the hardest part of this, since the numbers are bagged up in ordered groups. Phillip keeps falling off the beam quickly knocking himself out of it. Ashley take the lead with Rob and Andrea close behind. Ashley just barely wins it for her second Immunity in a row- Rob is pissssssssed.
Back at camp Rob quickly groups the four and says it's Andrea and goes fishing. Everyone seems to be going along with it. Phillip reports on Ashley and Natalie talking to each other in the woods. Rob and Special Agent Phil go off to talk which gives the three girls a chance to chitchat; Andrea says she's voting Rob join up with me. Looks like the girls might try to take out Rob. Rob still has the Idol, he's joking in the interview that he doesn't need it but he's too smart not to play it I think (and hope!)
Probst gets Phillip going at Tribal again. Andrea starts buttering up the jury already as the three girls basically say they're voting for Rob. He's gotta be on alert now. After voting Rob whips out his Immunity Idol- yeeeeees! Nobody looks as shocked as I thought they'd be. With three votes, he didn't even need it as Andrea is voted to the jury. The Tribe has spoken.
Super Agent Phillip claims he suspected Rob has the hidden Immunity Ido all along. Ok, yeah right. The final Immunity Challenge is a massive setup. It's a giant maze where contestants have to collect puzzle pieces that unfold to form a phrase. Natalie is totally lost in the maze, Secret Agent Phillip is surprisingly keeping it close as Rob and Ashley take the lead. Ashley is lamely following Rob around the maze. It's Rob and Ashley atop the challenge putting the puzzle together and Rob wins the final Immunity!
Now Rob has to decide who to send home and how to convince the jury to give him a million dollars after his wife's already won it once. Rob's telling Ashley that Phillip is going and Phillip that Ashley is going. Keeping the peace at camp. Rob wants Ashley gone because she bonded with half the jury but he needs Natalie to go along with it. Natalie has to choose between her friend and the game.
At Tribal Phillip calls himself "The Specialist", while Ashley says she thinks she has a better shot of winning than both Phil and Natalie should she be up there. If Natalie hadn't made up her mind yet, that might be the nail in the coffin. And it is as Ashley is voted out.
Natalie, Phillip and Rob make up the final three. It's Rob's game to lose. Back at camp crazy Phillip is talking about how he's ok with having a relationship with someone who's been dead since 1870. A feast is there for the final three. We get one last blurred out shot of Agent Undies' pink manties. Rob is still playing the game, telling Natalie how he wants her to answer questions. Phillip ceremoniously tosses them into the fire- thank you!!! thank you!! Too bad it took until day 39 to burn them.
Back at Tribal for like the 25th time this episode, the final three get to plead their case. Special Agent Phillip is wearing his crazy feather. Natalie says her social skills and loyalty to Boston Rob got her this far. Phillip says as soon as Boston Rob came off the helicopter, his whole strategy changed and gives pretty much all the credit for his being there to Boston Rob who he calls "the mastermind". Rob here's your platter, just place the win right on it, thank you sir. Rob lays out a three point blueprint as to why he played so awesome and should win and then goes for the emotional side saying it's all for his wife and kid.
Now the jury gets to ask some questions. Andrea calls Natalie and Rob's relationship creepy and Phillip starts in with her shooting himself in the foot. Ashley says she's sick of hearing Phillip talk, so no questions to him, then calls out Natalie for betraying her and Rob for deceiving everyone. Grant wants to know why his alliance with Rob was weaker than Natalie's. Brillo Pad Ralph asks why Natalie is hitching coattails to Rob like a kid, why Phillip only has one feather in his headband and does Phil like him. Matt only wants to ask Rob one question, calling him a liar and how can he keep himself together after 117 days out here total. Jacked Julie says none of them played a respectable game, calling Natalie a servant to Rob, while Phillip says to hell with her interrupting her while she says Rob's in a good position. Phil manages to insult the whole jury. Mike gets all religious and asks the finalists if they learned anything about themselves- softball question Mike. Steve commends them all for playing (classy, Steve) except for Phillip who he calls pitiful and shameful. David has no questions but tries to sell the whole jury on Rob calling it the "best strategic game the game has ever seen".
Everyone votes, Brillo Pad votes for "Phile", David for Rob, nobody else is shown as Probst brings the votes back to New York City for the live reunion. Phillip still thinks he can win lolololololz. No surprise as Rob Mariano finally wins his Survivor game and gets to hug Amber and the two kids. Well deserved Rob, well played. Boston Rob finally wins Survivor in his fourth try. Congrats Rob.

Merck wins patent case against Gilead
Keywords: intellectual property, hepatitis C, patent, Sovaldi, Merck, Gilead
A jury in U.S. District Court in Delaware has ordered Gilead Sciences to pay Merck & Co. $2.54 billion in damages because its hepatitis C drugs Sovaldi and Harvoni infringe on a Merck patent. The patent was originally awarded to Idenix Pharmaceuticals, which Merck acquired in 2014. The amount of the award is 10% of the drugs' sales through August 2016. An active ingredient in both drugs is sofosbuvir, which Gilead obtained as part of its acquisition of the biotech firm Pharmasset in 2011. The dispute centers on whether Pharmasset derived sofosbuvir from an Idenix patent or whether it developed the compound itself. Gilead says it will appeal. The two drug companies sparred in a previous lawsuit in California, where a federal jury awarded Merck $200 million earlier this year. The award was overturned in June after allegations surfaced that a Merck attorney had lied under oath. Merck is contesting the overturned verdict.

From an ad to New Gingrich's New book, "To Save America:
"America is facing a mortal threat....If we don't act now, our great nation will no longer exist."
So argues Newt Gingrich in his blockbuster new book To Save America: Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine.
What is putting America as we know it in such peril?
The Secular-Socialist Machine—a corrupt bureaucracy which uses manipulation, bribery, and dishonesty to steamroll the will of the people and destroy America's core values.
"The secular socialist machine represents as grave a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union once did," states Gingrich. "It is actively working to demolish our core values, beliefs, and attitudes and replace them with their own."

- 7 Hydro testing safe distance formula:
Objective of Hydro & Pneumatic Testing :
To familiarize workforce with ongoing Hydro Testing, Pneumatic Strength Testing, Line Blowing & Filling activities (Pressure Testing):
Hydro & Pneumatic Strength Testing, Line Blowing, Filling
- All pressure and leak testing must have competed in accordance with the Procedure and Safe Work Method.
- Formal records of pressure and leak testing are maintained and kept.
- Work carried out by only qualified and experienced persons.
The person in Charge – Responsibilities:
- All equipment, plant, and devices used for pressure and leak testing are properly rated, adequate calibrated, maintained and checked.
- Arrange spill storage.
- PTW precautions are followed.
- Barricade the testing area to control unauthorized entry.
- All personnel should be communicating about starting these activities preferably through the PA system.
- Only essential personnel are allowed access to the test area, and then only after pressure has been held for a reasonable period.
Types of Pressure and Leak Testing:
- Standard Pressure Test (Strength Test) – applied either during project construction or later during the operational phase.
- Leak (Pressure) Testing – usually hydraulic, are performed to prove the pressure tightness of joints, glands, and seats, etc., whenever the integrity of containment is broken, either at hook-up/commissioning or post-operations phase.
- Service Leak Testing – usually using service fluid, the testing method for leaks during the post-operation phase on low-pressure systems.
- Pneumatic Leak Tests – using an inert gas, predominantly on gas producing and on some onshore sites during commissioning and post-operation phases, prior to the introduction of hydrocarbons.
- Gross (Preliminary) Air Leak Tests – using instrument air up to max. of 8 bar, at hook-up/commissioning as a means of identifying large leaks, prior to performing the standard pressure tests.
Test Mediums:
- Hydraulic – water is preferred test liquid.
- Pneumatic – shall only be permitted if authorized in writing by the Site Manager or his delegate.
Activity Requirements / Guidelines for pressure testing:
Hydro & Pneumatic SAFETY PROCEDURE
- As possible so to minimize the stored energy.
- Materials of construction should have the required ductility (flexibility).
- Ensure risk assessment carried out.
- Check that any attachments unable to withstand the test pressure must be removed.
- Blanking devices (spades blinds etc.) shall confirm the required equipment specification.
- Safety valves to be fitted when the pressurizing medium pressure Single, continuous pressure envelope is the preferable method.
- The Responsible Engineer should authorize tests above normal working pressure.
- Persons supervising pressure/leak tests must be trained, competent and qualified.
- Effective communication should be established.
- Access to the test area must be limited to essential personnel only – barriers, warning signs, PA announcement, patrolling the test boundaries.
- Testing should be carried out under PTW, which is required for each test or at least test package for the same location.
- Pressuring equipment shall be provided with suitably calibrated pressure control/regulator devices.
- These devices should be clearly visible to the person controlling the pressure.
- Pressuring equipment should not be left unattended at any time during the test.
- When the test pressure has been reached, the pressuring equipment shall be isolated from the equipment under test and where performable disconnected.
- The pressuring valve should be locked in a closed position.
- Ensure the equipment tested by the competent person, prior to testing.
- The volume of equipment under test should be kept as small is greater than the test pressure.
- Slowly-slowly pressure increase.
- Consideration to be given for the change of ambient temperature, e.g. thermal expansion of liquids in a closed system.
- Pressure monitoring to be conducted in any adjacent systems that are not positively isolated.
- Close examination of equipment at above maximum allowable working pressure shall not take place until the pressure has been held for 30 min.
- If an inspection is required within the hold period, then pressure should be reduced to 80% of the test figure.
Hydro & Pneumatic Strength Testing What to Look for:
- Test Pack for line/eqpt. QC complete
- Supervisor & Engineer in place.
- Equipment tested and calibrated (QC reviewed)
- PTW Issued and posted with the M/S (incl. SWMS) at the workplace
- Trained & Competent personnel.
- Toolbox Talk conducted.
- No adjustment whilst under pressure.
- The safe evacuation of test liquids/gases.
- Barriers & Signs in place (agreed distance).
- Patrols around the barrier areas.
- Ensure proper Anchoring arrangements.
- Excavation Entry Gas Test & Checklist.
- The correct level of safety devices.
- Wear face shields during pneumatic testing.
Responsible testing personnel:
- Attend the system at all times.
- Continuously supervision.
Pressure testing equipment:
- Fully operational,
- Regularly maintained,
- Calibrated,
- Warning signs and barriers,
- Caution tags to identify equipment and lines under test,
- Maintain a safe distance.
Mechanical isolation used for gas, liquid or vapor:
- Pneumatic testing and very high-pressure hydro testing – conducted when the main test area is free of personnel.
- Very high-pressure hydro testing – use the testing manifold and testing apparatus No alterations or modification permitted without Piping Production Engineer's approval.
If there is a failure during the testing:
- Immediately pressure depressurizes.
- Vent valves will open after pressure release.
- find out Cause of failure and rectified.
In the event of a failure during the pressure test, the system will be immediately depressurized by cracking the vent on the test pump manifold. After the pressure has been released, the vent valves shall be opened. The cause of failure shall be determined and rectified before any further pressure testing is undertaken.
Event Description: During a hydro test operation of a 32″ inch onshore pipeline for gas transportation (not Included in any Sampan scope of work), a section of the pipe burst (see picture 1). The test a Pressure was more than 330 bars. The involved section was a bent pipe. Witnesses reported That the water coming out of the rupture hit a small pile of earth and rocks, projecting the Rocks about 50 meters away at a very high speed. No people were in the area during the burst, But some hydro test technicians and engineers had just left the area after having checked the Instrumental data.
Hydro testing safe distance formula:
For the Hydro test safe distance
Safe distance = (0.15)x(D)x(a)^0.4x(p)^0.6
where D – Internal diameter (m)
a – Length/diameter of piece (m)
p – Test pressure (bar)
