State of the Left
Continue the conversation from #PGS17 at Policy Network's new website, State of the Left, a dedicated one-stop shop to keep you up to date with the fate and fortune of progressive politics around the world.
With a truly global outlook, State of the Left's coverage draws upon an established network of expert commentators from over 30 different countries, commissioned and curated from our London hub.
Together they chart the latest developments facing centre-left parties across Europe, the Americas, Australasia and beyond. As well as keeping tabs on electoral fortunes, they offer analysis on the policies and personalities that determine the political fate of the centre left.
Our aim is to promotes critical debate and reflection on progressive politics. We are centre-left orientated but determinedly challenge social democracy. We are pro-European but restlessly question EU institutions and practices. And we are passionately Atlanticist and internationalist in our outlook but understand that all politics is local.
Unlike most media sources, which rely on traditional 'foreign correspondents', State of the Left is driven by people who are actively involved in the progressive debate in the country they are writing about. Their task here is to deliver despatches which combine a commitment to progressive values with robust, independent analysis. Our correspondents include leading policymakers, political advisers, pollsters, political scientists, trade unionists, business leaders and journalists.
Sign up for updates here.
Das Progressive Zentrum will also be hosting an ongoing conversation with the project, Dialogue on Europe. Due to many disintegrative developments such as the Brexit referendum and the rise of right-wing populism and especially the aftermath of the economic and financial crisis with its long-time effects especially on the south of Europe, the future of the European Union is at stak. The challenges ahead of us are too profound and seminal to be addressed by high-ranking politicians attending closed-door summits alone. A long-term solution can only be achieved with the support of a strong and well-connected European civil society which, unfortunately, is all too seldom listened to.
With this in mind, Das Progressive Zentrum in co-operation with the German Federal Foreign Office, initiated the project, Dialogue on Europe – Rebuilding Trust and Redefining Europe in Tough Times. The project gives rise to a two-year transnational dialogue process at eye level with young, promising thinkers from Greece, Portugal, Italy, France, Spain and Germany. This process brings together key actors from civil service, the media, politics, academia and the business and start-up sectors to help foster a climate of mutual understanding between the participating states and societies.
In order to initiate the Dialogue on Europe, our international team came across Europe and met more than 400 young dedicated movers and shakers of the national and local civil society during five #EuropeanTownHall meetings held in Athens, Lisbon, Rome, Marseilles and Madrid. The events enabled lively debates in workshops and public discussions with the German Federal Minister of State for Europe, Michael Roth, on the most pressing European challenges, shaping at the same time a strong network of European thinktank partners – ELIAMEP (Greece), Institute of Public Policy (Portugal), Instituto Affari Internazionali (Italy), Jacques Delors Institute (France), Fundación Alternativasand Politikon (Spain). On 28 June 2016, the German Minister for Foreign Affairs, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, officially launched the second, multilateral phase of the Dialogue on Europe project at the Europasaal of the German Federal Foreign Office in Berlin, together with 100 young and upcoming opinion leaders and intellectuals from these five countries as well as from Germany. These selected representatives from European civil society are now developing genuinely European policy recommendations in four Dialogue on Europe Thinking Labs on populism, social cohesion, migration and integration, and sustainable growth.

I really don't understand the US and our boneheaded anti-drug policy. Think of all the missed tax revenue! To me, everything else is gravy.
Hell, if Merck and Pfizer (and others) owned the market for producing recreational quantities of cannabis, they'd be growth stocks again. Then add coke and heroin to the mix...that's a buying opportunity on pharmaceuticals right there.
Friggin' moralistic politicians.
Keep in mind there's been major growth in the abuse rates of oxycontin, vicodin and other opioid analgesics in the last few years as well. These things have similar metabolic pathways and affect similar parts of the brain and heroin and other narcotics. I guess no one recognizes those similarities.

Over the last two weeks, I had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life:
I broke up with my fiancé.
To be clear, he hadn't actually proposed yet, but the ring was purchased about a month ago; a beautiful Monique Péon ring, with fossilized wooly mammoth tusk in the center, surrounded by cruelty free diamonds with recycled gold. What a beautiful ring it is!
But It now sits in a box waiting for an eBay auction. It's weird to think about how the thing that symbolized my potential future is sitting on a shelf, waiting to be sold, and become a symbol in someone else's life.
We had a fantasy of having a flash mob wedding in a vineyard, the setting of our third date, and a reception at a polish festival, the setting of our first date. I thought that it was the right path, that this was the perfect situation with the perfect guy and I was so ready to take that plunge.
It was a dream, almost come true.
But over the course of the weeks post him purchasing the ring and me waiting for the impending engagement, I had this epiphany about the kind of life that I want to have for myself. While he is the best boyfriend I've ever had, my best friend, the funniest, most-fun, most handsome, and attentive man I've ever known; I had discovered that there were some core fundamental issues that we couldn't see eye to eye on, and therefore it wouldn't work out in the long run.
It was a heart-breaking conclusion to come to.
I was so close to everything I have been dreaming about for so long: the white picket fence, the 2.5 babies, and an easy and comfortable life with the man of my dreams. To say goodbye to the comfort was a very scary decision to make. It meant I had to potentially sacrifice one of the main sources of happiness in my life, for another source of happiness: my other dreams.
My other dreams consist of creating an empire, teaching and inspiring people about design, entrepreneurship and branding and traveling around the world. I have hopes for a yoga filled life, with friends and balance. I have dreams to be with someone who wants that same life, and who has the flexibility to come with me.
I've never been with anyone who has loved me so much, or who has been such a support system in my life. It took every ounce of courage to discover and dream of how I want my life to be, and how I would have to say goodbye to the person I love most in the world-- to go be my best self. This might even mean that I may never find someone who shares these things with me, and I had to realize that I am okay with that too.
I trust my gut, my intuition, the epiphany that I had, and the love I have for myself. I know I deserve to have someone who is on the same page as me about ALL of the things that I value, not just the majority.
I also was discovering that the complacent person that I was becoming, was starting to go from light passionate to dim and incapable. In a way, I was using my relationship as a crutch to not achieve my greatness. Now I don't have any excuses or anything in my way.
I want a simple, healthy, balanced, passionate, creative and adventurous life. I want to travel more. I want to learn how to do acrobatics on silks. I want to be the most centered healthy version of myself. It is now time for me to go do that and become the successful person I have always wanted to be.
The decision was made, and with great fear and courage. I told him how I felt and it ended up being a beautiful moment to grow and enjoy each other for the last few weeks before we part ways. No spite or vengeful comments, just love. We have two weeks to say goodbye and as we approach the end, and it is almost as beautiful as it started. I feel so lucky.

Ex-Pentagon Aide Says U.S. Abandoned Quick Iraq Transition
Tuesday, December 11, 2007
A former top Pentagon official blamed the Bush administration's top official in Iraq for abandoning a plan for a quick transition to Iraqi leadership in the summer of 2003 and instead keeping the U.S. government in control of the country for more than a year.
The decision to carry out "a lengthy occupation was, I believe, the single biggest mistake the United States made in Iraq," said Douglas J. Feith, who as undersecretary of defense for policy was a key figure in the drive to war.
Feith, in a speech last night at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, provided his most extensive public remarks on the war and reconstruction efforts in Iraq. When he briefed President Bush on U.S. plans for post-invasion Iraq, he recalled, "The original concept was not that the CPA [Coalition Provisional Authority] would be around for many, many months." But, he said, L. Paul Bremer, who ran the U.S. occupation authority in 2003 and 2004, decided that Feith's plan "was not implementable" and instead embarked on a course that antagonized Iraqis and spurred an insurgency.
After describing his differences with Bremer, Feith said, "I don't view this as an attack" on him, but rather an attempt to explain how reasonable officials advanced contrary views.
Bremer, in a brief telephone interview last night, took issue with Feith's account. "His argument isn't with me" but with Bush, Bremer said. The career diplomat said that Bush told him in May 2003, before he headed for Baghdad, to "take our time setting up an interim administration." Even before he left Washington, Bremer added, he thought the U.S. occupation "was going to take a couple of years." Bremer said Feith's view that there was a major change in course that summer is incorrect.
Sovereignty was formally transferred from the U.S. government to an interim Iraqi government in June 2004, ending the occupation after 14 months. But the war has continued on for more than three years, and about as many U.S. troops remain in Iraq now as there were during the invasion.
Feith, now a professor at Georgetown University, also pointed at Bremer for his handling of another key early move that has been controversial, the decision to ban members of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party from public office. The approach was essentially correct, Feith said, but "some of the problems resulted from implementation, rather than the policy itself."
Feith served as one of the top civilians in the Pentagon from July 2001 until August 2005. Many military officers disliked his precise, intellectual approach to making decisions, which they found tangled and time-consuming. Most famously, retired Army Gen. Tommy R. Franks, who led the U.S. invasion force in Iraq, stated in his memoir that Feith had achieved the reputation within the military of being "the dumbest [expletive] guy on the planet."
But Feith was consistently supported by then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, who in a 2004 interview with the Associated Press called him "without question, one of the most brilliant individuals in government" and "one of the really . . . intellectual leaders in the administration in defense policy."
Until now, Feith has not said much about the Iraq war, except to respond to what he sees as the inaccuracies of others. In a Wall Street Journal review in May of former CIA director George J. Tenet's memoir, Feith charged, "He is willing to make up stories that suit his purposes."
With his own memoir, "War and Decision," scheduled to be published in March, Feith appears to be more willing to discuss the war in general.
The speech reunited Iraq hawks, with former Pentagon official Richard Perle introducing Feith, as former deputy defense secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz sat in the front. After Feith's talk, Wolfowitz commented that he thought it was "pretty much on the mark."


text: I love the musicians at Redeemer. Their talent, commitment, and their public presence are always an encouragement. From playing around the city impromptu, to open mic nights, to playing local shows, they represent the Lord well in the use of their gifts. Dan Alcantara just put up this video of him playing in Bigby's. I really enjoy his music, and am glad he plays for the church on Sundays as well as the city whenever he can.

I think there's a lot of pros out there looking to up their game. I'm no different. I'm an alright portrait photographer and a lot of what I see out there I feel like I could do if given the chance. Then there are those that bring it to a different level...
Celebrity portraiture has always been my favorite. Everybody likes looking at the pretty and the famous but the idea of having someone in front of the lens used to delivering a perfomance is inspiring. In my line of work as a portrait/wedding photographer, getting your subject to give you something relaxed or emotional or raw can be an overwhelming challenge.
My favorite photographer is Nigel Parry. I'm amazed at the simplicity of the images, the uses of light, and the expressions he inspires from his subjects. This is who I want to be when I grow up!
One of the most notorious assholes of our time. He's a racist, a bigot, all around bad guy... all in the name of God. Now I don't know how Jerry Fallwell felt about this image. I don't know how Parry even got him to pose for this... hell I can't even figure out how he lit this! But I can't imagine a more storytelling portrait.
Another example of a racist but not the point here... I'm pretty sure this was done around the time he directed "Passion of the Christ" - Crown of thorns? What's the message here? So simple, so powerful.
I love John Goodman and Tommy Lee Jones... but let's be honest, not the leading man types. Taking these guys and making them into handsome, sexy dudes...
How to get your subject to let it all out?
It's not hard to make Christian Bale look good. So what can you to make it something special, something powerful?
My close second favorite photographer is Annie Liebovitz. Such a long history in the biz and got to work with the some of the most influential, talented and cool musicians. Watching her evolution is amazing. Her early work was really raw and emotional. Now it's a much bigger production, lots of amazing post production and high concepts... and they're larger than life.
I love rock portaits and want to take the concept if the rock band portrait to someplace cooler than guys sitting on a couch
Love the light... can't figure out how she pulled this off.
just love the posing.
Here's some of my stuff. I work with a different kind of clientele than movie and rock stars so please bear with some of the kids and engagement stuff. I love the idea of trying a new style and trying a new type of portraiture photography, I just don't know where to go. I'm excited for some inspiration and challenges! Thanks Jonathan!

The Captain's Collection
- Kirstyn Smith
- 19 December 2011
Matthew Zajac of Dogstar Theatre to play Gaelic music preservationist Captain Simon Fraser
The latest production from Inverness-based company Dogstar is a rich tale about a composer and former British Army officer who courts fame by publishing his volumes of Highland music. The piece, which is being performed in Glasgow as part of Celtic Connections, is adapted from an original idea by Blazin' Fiddles' Bruce McGregor that was adapted into an award-winning four-part radio series in 1999.
'While Gaelic culture of north Scotland was being eviscerated, Captain Simon Fraser was preserving a lot of tunes,' says artistic director Matthew Zajac, who also takes on the titular role. 'He was a vain man and rather obsessed with his music. He embodies the schizophrenia that so many people in the Highlands were supposed to have.'
Desperate to appeal to the bourgeoisie, the Captain removed the Gaelic and anti-government elements from his collection of Scotland's folk tales. This production, however, reclaims the catalogue, embracing and reimagining the tunes the Captain preserved by means of a live duo alternating between fiddle, guitar, clarsach and keyboards.
'Music is pretty fully incorporated into the show,' says Zajac. 'It is rich in language, funny, loving and we're blessed with the performers we've got in the show – myself excluded!'
Tron Theatre, Glasgow, Wed 25 & Thu 26 Jan.

Making snow and icicles for miniatures
Looking around at the different tutorials out there for snow I was not able to find one that gave me the volumetric look I wanted, staying nice and white all while being super tough for models that will be on the table top to be played with.
After some experimentation this is what I came up with. It is not the best looking snow effect out there, but as they get more powdery/fluffy they seam to break down easier.
Making icicles always looked so involved too. So here is a pretty simple way to make them in a few steps.
Materials you will need: (Pictures after list)
1. Baking soda (from your local market baking section)
2. Woodland scenics water effects
3. Vallejo Water Texture
4. Woodland Scenics Snow
5. Acrlic Matte Varnish (airbrushable)
6. Clear fishing line. I used 30lb test.
7. Airbrush
First up is how to make Icicles. This is pretty easy.
Take some fishing line and cut a small piece off. Have a little pool of gel super glue off to the sise, I pinched the fishing line between some twezers and dip one end into it and then attach it to the model.
Once that has dried, grab the bottle of water effects. This has a squeeze bottle which i just took off to open the bottle and scooped some of the paste out. Using a toothpick spread the water effects out on the finish line to make icicle looking shapes.
Usually let it sit overnight to dry all the way. If needed build up some more paste to make them more icicle like or to add more volume to them. Once all that is dried use a little bit of thinned white paint to cloud them up a little. Normally icicles are a little clouded, and this will also help them be more visible on your model. A perfectly clear icicle will be hard to see on a model from any distance away.
Now on to the snow.
There are a few steps here. There is no super easy method for making snow that look chunky, fluffy and some what smooth.
Here are some of the other examples that I have tried.
Here with using wall spackle plaster and glue as a liquid. It makes a nice smooth white mass of "snow" that is rock hard.
This one is just using Woodland Scenics snow with a little bit of white dry brush after. It looks ok, but it has a little too much of a rough texture for snow. I am probably going to cover it up with the way I did it on my fire eaters.
Now the steps for creating somewhat realistic tough snow for table top minis.
Grab some foil (or something to mix on), toothpicks (or anything to mix and apply with), Vallejo Water Texture, Woodland scenics snow and baking soda.
I mixed about 50/50 baking soda and woodland scenics snow together into a small container. Then take a scoop of water texture and place it onto your mixing surface. Now pour your dry snow mixture onto it and start mixing it until you get a thick wet slurry consistency.
Then using a toothpick or small spatula spread it around the base and the model where you want it. Once that is done take just straight Baking soda and cover the areas of snow on the mini. This will help smooth out the snow heaps and add some of that natural powdery look of snow. This will look like they have been through a snow storm and have this cool looking snow on them. But it will not stay at all for a mini that will be played with. So we are going to have to get rid of some of it and seal in the rest.
I let it sit overnight for the mixture to dry all the way. Using a large'ish brush (I use a large watercolor brush), brush off some of the excess baking soda. What you are looking for it to get rid of the baking soda the base edge and the mini where you don't want the dusting of powder.
Now there should still be a decent amount ow powdery baking soda on the snow. You want to start the sealing process for it now.
Take the Acrylic Matte Varnish and load up your airbrush. Turn the PSI down to 5 or less. You want just the minimum amount of air pressure to sputter out some of the varnish onto the snow. Anything more will start blowing away the baking soda "snow".
I sprayed it on pretty heavy and you can see it pooling on the mini in place. Just take an older paint brush and wick out the extra varnish out of the cracks. Your mini will end up a little shiny, but that is nothing a little dull coat won't fix later. Let the varnish dry mostly before the next steps. The baking soda will still be loose, but this will help it stay put for the next step.
Now take the varnish and pour some out into our egg pallet. Take an old brush and start dabbing varnish onto the piles of snow. You will want to get is nice and saturated with varnish.
Set it aside to let it dry. Once it id done drying you can clear coat the mini as normal to get rid of the shine.
And once they are clear coated with a matt varnish then a dull coat.
Good luck! And if you have any questions please let me know.

Analysis of Bulk Tax Lien Sale: City of Rochester
By the Center for Community Progress
In 2009 the City of Rochester, New York began selling delinquent tax liens to a third party purchaser pursuant to a bulk lien sales agreement. In response to an RFP from the City, Community Progress and a team of subconsultants examined the City's current bulk tax lien sale process, and the fiscal and community development impacts of it. This report outlines both the positive and the negative, along with brief descriptions of alternative approaches used in other cities and recommendations on how to improve the system to support neighborhood stability. Community Progress and the rest of the project team determined that alternative delinquent tax enforcement strategies including but not limited to tax lien servicing contracts and the optimization of lien to value could be most cost-efficient for the City. In addition the bulk sale of tax liens left many properties "in limbo" that remain tax delinquent and increase destabilization.

MADISON, Wis. — With their Senate colleagues still in hiding, Democrats in the Wisconsin Assembly began introducing a barrage of 100 amendments Tuesday to try to stymie the Republican governor's plan to strip unionized public employees of most of their bargaining rights.
Both houses of the GOP-controlled Legislature convened shortly before noon amid noisy protests outside the state Capitol that began more than a week ago in an epic showdown that is being watched nervously by organized labor across the country.
The Senate was unable to take up the union measure because its 14 Democrats skipped town last week, denying the chamber a quorum. But Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald pledged that his chamber would approve the bill this week, despite the blizzard of Democratic amendments.
What's at stake in Wisconsin
What bill would do
1) Eliminate collective bargaining rights for most public workers. So while unions still could represent those workers, they would not be able to seek pay increases above those pegged to the Consumer Price Index unless approved by a public referendum.
2) Unions also could not force employees to pay dues and would have to hold annual votes to stay organized.
3) Local police, firefighters and state troopers would retain their collective bargaining rights.
4) Public workers would have to pay half the costs of their pensions and at least 12.6 percent of their health care coverage. That represents an average of 8 percent increase in state employees' share of pension and health care costs.
In exchange, public employees were promised no furloughs or layoffs. Gov. Scott Walker has threatened to lay off up to 6,000 state workers if the measure does not pass.
Estimated savings
$30 million by July 1 and $300 million over the next two years to address a Republican-projected $3.6 billion budget shortfall.
The proposal marks a dramatic shift for Wisconsin, which in 1959 was the first to pass a comprehensive collective bargaining law for public employees and was the birthplace of the national union representing all non-federal public employees.
When voters last year elected Gov. Walker, an outspoken conservative, along with GOP majorities in both legislative chambers, it set the stage for a dramatic reversal of the state's labor history.
National significance
New Republican governors and legislatures in other states have proposed cutting back on public employee costs to reduce budget shortfalls, but Wisconsin's move appears to be the earliest and most extensive.

Turning up the pressure on the Democrats, Gov. Scott Walker warned that state employees could start receiving layoff notices as early as next week if the bill isn't passed soon. The layoffs couldn't take effect immediately — existing union contracts could forestall them for weeks or months — and Walker wouldn't say which jobs he would go after first.
"Hopefully we don't get to that point," the governor said in a statement.

Borrowing the strategy pioneered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Walker took his case straight to the voters Tuesday evening with a speech from his Capitol office that he called a "fireside chat." With protesters drowning out his message as it was played over monitors in the rotunda, Walker calmly laid out his case for the bill, saying it was needed to balance the state's budget now and into the future.
"It certainly isn't a battle with unions," Walker said. "If it was, we would have eliminated collective bargaining entirely or we would have gone after the private-sector unions."
Walker warned of "dire consequences" if the Democrats don't return soon to pass the bill, saying up to 1,500 state workers could be laid off by July with another 6,000 forced out of work over the next two years.
One of the missing Democrats, Minority Leader Mark Miller, delivered his own response from Illinois.
"The only action available to us to slow this down and allow democracy to work was to take us out of the Capitol," he said.
While Wisconsin remained the main front in the national debate over union rights, similar battles were taking shape in other states. In Indiana, House Democrats walked out of the Statehouse on Tuesday, blocking a GOP-backed bill against mandatory union dues. Only three of the 40 Democratic members of the chamber were present, depriving it of a quorum.
A similar debate in Ohio drew thousands of union protesters Tuesday, prompting officials there to lock the doors to the Statehouse.Story: Wis. governor refuses to budge on budget bill
In Wisconsin, if lawmakers take no action on the union bill by the end of the week, the state will not be able to refinance debt that Walker had counted on for $165 million worth of savings under the legislation. The governor warned that not doing that would force even deeper cuts and possibly lead to 1,500 layoffs by July.
Republican leaders in both the Senate and Assembly said they have the votes to pass the bill.
Fitzgerald said the bill was a key part of the Republican agenda to cut government spending that won the GOP majorities in the Legislature in November.
"When you talk about a compromise, no. We're going to make a reform," the Assembly speaker said.
Debate began on the bill in the Assembly around noon with Democrats railing against the way the Republicans handled votes when the bill first came up last Friday. Given the number of amendments Democrats were proposing, an actual vote on the measure may not happen until Wednesday or later.
"It's going to be a long day," Democratic Minority Leader Peter Barca said at the start of debate. "Tempers are going to flare."
He was right. Two Democrats lashed out at Republican lawmakers and aides for laughing at them during the debate.
"This is not a game! We're dealing with people's lives! This isn't funny!" Rep. Andy Jorgensen shouted in the chamber, his face red. "I haven't laughed in a long time, especially not on a day like this!"
Rep. Cory Mason, a former organizer for the American Federation of Teachers, said Wisconsin has enjoyed more than 50 years of labor peace between state and local public employees and their bosses after passing collective bargaining rights in 1959.
"What the governor is proposing and what the majority is proposing today is to break that labor peace," he said.
The roar of protesters in the Capitol rotunda, many of whom were banging on drums and chanting through megaphones, could be heard while both the Senate and Assembly met.
The Wisconsin bill would force state and local public workers to contribute more toward their pensions and health care and would strip them of the right to negotiate benefits and working conditions. They would largely be limited to negotiating pay raises no greater than the inflation rate.
The proposal, designed to help Wisconsin plug a projected $3.6 billion hole in the budget, has led to eight straight days of monumental protests that grew as large as 68,000 people on Saturday.
The Senate was stymied for a second time in its attempts to take up the bill after none of the 14 Democrats who skipped town on Thursday showed up. Under Senate rules, 20 lawmakers must be present to take up a budget bill. There are only 19 Republicans.
Unable to act on Walker's proposal, the remaining Republicans instead took up some non-controversial measures, voting to extend tax breaks to dairy farmers and unanimously commending the Green Bay Packers on winning the Super Bowl.
Unlike last Thursday, when the Senate galleries were filled with protesters who disrupted action by shouting, only about a dozen people showed up under heavier security to watch the action on Tuesday.
In the Assembly, the gallery was packed with hundreds of spectators who watched the debate without causing any disruption. Democrats wore orange shirts to show solidarity with protesters that read, "Fighting for working families." Thousands more people watched the debate on TV monitors inside the rotunda.
Walker and Republican leaders have repeatedly called on the Senate Democrats, who fled to Illinois, to return and get back to work. Democrats have said they won't come back until Walker is willing to negotiate.
"We'd love to come back today," said Sen. Jon Erpenbach. "We could be up there this afternoon and pass this if he would agree to removing the language that has absolutely nothing to do with balancing the budget."
Packers star Charles Woodson and two other players, along with five former team members, have come out against the bill.

This week brought some lovely surprises – four if I am exact! One pair of shoes, one pair of slippers and two pairs of socks, all for Lucia. This is unheard of and the beauty of it is we weren't even really looking – but my mum was.
I have detailed in previous posts how frustrating and upsetting it can be trying to get Lucia footwear, so to have managed to find these four pairs of shoes and socks with relative ease has been wonderful.
Summer shoes
Last weekend my mum and sister were out shopping and spotted the most adorable pink 'TOMS Rompers'. They text me pictures showing how soft, flexible and deep they were so I said buy them! And when Lucia opened the little shoe box she couldn't wait to try them on! Her left foot slipped in no problem and with a little pushing her right foot went in too – it felt like our very own Cinderella moment! She then spent the next half an hour running laps of the house in her new shoes feeling very proud of herself.
They aren't shoes to be worn all day, everyday, but they are perfect for warmer weather and particularly for when we head off to France in the Summer. They are soft, lightweight, covered in little breathable holes and fully enclose her feet providing a little compression. But they are also very protective at the same time. They will be ideal on sunny days when she still has to wear her garments but will hopefully help her feet feel a little cooler.
When we took them off they had left the 'holey' imprint of the design on her right foot, but as she will only be wearing them for short periods it shouldn't have any detrimental effect. Mum bought them in a shop here called Clockwork Orange but if you look up TOMS online you will be able to find them.
Slippers and socks
Lucia and I then took mum out for a little shopping trip and in Primark she discovered gorgeous little fairy slippers! As you can see from the picture they are really deep and very cosy with plenty of room. Once again we had a very happy little lady (and mummy!)
While we were there we also decided to have a look for bed socks as Lucia's little feet have been freezing in the mornings when she comes in for a cuddle. Obviously she never wears socks during the day as she is always in her compression, but even in the pre-compression days socks were a total nightmare as we could never find a pair that didn't leave big dents around her legs.
But Primark came up trumps again and we found two pairs of soft bed socks with loose(ish) elastic at the top. I bought them, came home and snipped the elastic so they don't do her any damage and she is currently sleeping sound in her cosy new socks.
The little things
It is amazing how the little things that are usually taken for granted can bring so much joy when they aren't so straight forward. When we find shoes for Lucia it really does feel extra special – but best of all is seeing her delighted little face when she tries them on and they fit.

As an increasing number of homes and companies are switching to solar, this source of renewable energy is rather more than only a pattern or a sizzling topic for the news. Robertson has stated the tax will improve Vancouver's rental emptiness charge, which is at present around zero.6 per cent, by persuading owners of hundreds of empty apartments and homes to place them up for hire. In other words, instead of placing all their cash into money savings autos, Americans use much of their financial savings to build fairness of their homes. Sample is injected by means of graphic cushions and highlighted with black equipment such because the mirror over the bed. Hours are eight:30am-5:00pm, each day, besides on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day, when the park is closed.
I've realized that with both Grownup Household Homes as well as with Foster Homes, that the care provider's are required to have a liscenced particular person remain with purchasers in the event that the care supplier wants to leave the home…Obviously, a hidden cost.
Additionally, until you reside in a place like Tucson, Arizona the place most homes do not have lawns and the occasional snowstorm not often leaves greater than 1 / 4 inch on the ground you will need a garden mower and a snow shovel. Underground homes with high thermal mass are suitable for semi-arid, temperate climates, not sub-tropical equivalent to where I dwell. I've seen some very energy-environment friendly and cool (literally) earth-bermed homes right here in Vermont.
The homes you've got pictured are beautiful and nice examples of how you can have a lovely and trendy home while being environmentally friendly. Early Victorian homes featured lighter colored partitions with richer colours in the eating room and library. HOME also takes direct action to aid first-time homebuyers and families with homes beneath the specter of foreclosures.
Prime custom home builders are pushing the pattern of water features in lots of areas all through the homes they are designing and constructing. Search for prosperous neighborhoods the place both spouses are working, neighborhoods populated by executives, Laptop programmers….Foster/Grownup care Homes. Total, home battery storage strategies can ensure that homes keep running efficiently and stay as price efficient as doable. I spray painted the picket legs with a hammered metallic spray paint to match the rest of the black steel accents and fixures in my lounge. Be it regional pageant or nationwide vacation, you count on every family to use flowers to beautify and spruce up their homes. Very cool, have read about underground homes up to now, and assume it is about time that homes like this grow to be more major stream.

'Frankenweenie'' is Tim Burton's best film in years. With this expanded, beautifully realized and highly entertaining animated version of his famous 1984 live-action short about a young loner and his resurrected dog, Burton, whose films have gotten progressively more overblown and overproduced, goes back to ghoulish basics. It's an endearingly modest and affectionate tribute to the classic 1930s monsters and their influence on daydreaming kids like Burton who grew up in suburbia four decades later.
The first black-and-white 3-D feature
film since the 1950s, "Frankenweenie'' is a great retro experience enacted by exquisitely detailed miniature models in slightly jerky stop-motion animation — a medium Burton previously employed to great effect for "The Nightmare Before Christmas'' and "Corpse Bride."
The excellent voice cast features many veterans of Burton's past films, including Martin Short and Catherine O'Hara in several roles. But the filmmaker has wisely given a rest to his overworked muses Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.
Charlie Tahan voices young Victor Frankenstein, whose only friend, the family dog Sparky, is run over by a car.
Our bereft hero gets an idea when his science teacher (Martin Landau, who won an Oscar for playing Bela Lugosi in Burton's "Ed Wood'' and here channeling character actor
J. Carrol Naish) demonstrates the effect of electrical current on a deceased frog.
Borrowing his mom's kitchen utensils, some Christmas decorations and an assortment of umbrellas, resourceful Victor turns his attic into a makeshift laboratory where he harnesses lightning. He manages to bring Sparky's stitched-together corpse back to life, though he keeps having to sew the dog's tail back on.
Victor is successful, at least at first, in hiding the re-animated pet from his parents (voiced by Short and O'Hara), who were concerned about his lack of interest in sports even before he took up his new hobby.
The secret is shared with his Gothic young neighbor, Elsa Van Helsing (Winona Ryder), whose uncle is the pompous mayor of the town.
All heck breaks loose, though, when a trio of Victor's classmates learn about his experiments thanks to the snooping of a hunchbacked misfit named "E'' Gore (who sounds just like Peter Lorre).
Their own, far more problematic experiments wreak havoc at local town New Holland's annual celebration of its heritage, which includes a large windmill on a hill that figures prominently at the climax.
There are significant overlaps in plot with this summer's 3-D stop-motion animated "ParaNorman'' — both films also open with the heroes watching homemade 3-D movies — which was originally going to be directed by Burton's "Nightmare Before Christmas'' collaborator, Henry Selick.
But "Frankenweenie'' is still the most Tim Burton-y of the director's films, and not just because it contains a vast catalog of references to his own movies — everything from "Edward Scissorhands'' to the underrated 1989 "Batman.''
The film's creepy but basically sweet humor, and its entire look, is pure Burton — including a cat named Mr. Whiskers who turns into a vampire, and a poodle who's transformed by electricity into an iconic female horror character.
Burton leaves no horror stone unturned, from mummies to werewolves — and he even throws in giant monsters from '50s Japanese movies for good measure.
Even when he turns to spectacle, Burton never lets "Frankenweenie'' veer very far from the bond between Victor and his imperfectly resurrected pet. That's what makes this one so special.

Putting aside my personal feelings about her as a person and the success that she has pulled out of her ass, I do like her line of clothing at Kohls. Recently, while traveling, I picked up a gossip magazine and there was a tiny article about how much people love her designs. Out of complete curiosity I got on the Kohls website (never been on the site or in the store before) to check it out. I am very critical of Lauren because I think she has only gotten to this point in her young life by an extremely superficial route, but regardless, the clothes are pretty darn cute and soooooo affordable. The black and purple flower tunic is a whopping $23.00 and can easily be paired with skinny jeans, leggings, or jeggings. The turquoise blouse at $29.99 will look lovely with big, fun earrings or underneath a blazer. I just love the detailing on the collar and how it stands up.

When it comes to fertility challenges, both men and women are equally important to the fertile picture.
Our clients are often surprised to find out that approximately one-third of infertility is attributed to the female partner, one-third attributed to the male partner, and one-third is caused by a combination of challenges in both partners or is unexplained.
If getting pregnant has been a challenge, it is important for the male partner to get his sperm checked. Male fertility testing looks at semen in three different ways:
- sperm count (quantity),
- sperm motility (which measures the percentage of sperm that are moving in a forward direction)
- sperm morphology (which measures the shape of the sperm).
Men are constantly making around 1,000 sperm per heart beat, yet not all sperm reach their optimal potential as healthy fertile sperm. Some common factors that lead to infertility in men are age, weight, infection and disease, structural problems, hormonal imbalances, environmental factors, and lifestyle. Age may be one of the most significant factors affecting your partner's fertility. Studies have shown that pregnancy rates decline and miscarriage rates increase when the man is over forty—even if his female partner is under thirty-five. Fortunately acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine has the ability to improve reproductive health. Acupuncture increases blood flow to the pelvic cavity and testes which optimizes sperm production and quality.
There are many additional things that can be done to increase fertility. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding environmental toxins that damage sperm, taking herbs and supplements known to improve sperm count, repairing DNA fragmentation and getting acupuncture can optimize a man's sperm quality and allow him to reach his peak fertility potential.
Improving your fertility involves both lifestyle changes and other treatments:
Acupuncture - There are new sperm continually being made. However, it takes about 72 to 90 days for sperm to mature. During this 3 month window, receiving two acupuncture treatments every week for 3 months is recommended in order to optimize sperm quality and allow partners a chance to conceive naturally or to improve sperm quality and quantity for an IUI/IVF cycle. Studies show that acupuncture can increase sperm production, increase the percentage of healthy sperm, improve sperm movement (motility), and improve the levels of hormones responsible for fertility.
- Supplements and Herbs - There is substantial scientific evidence to suggest that certain nutrients may help improve male fertility. We recommend men being taking FertilAid for Men as an overall boost for their fertility. Other supplements we recommend based off of sperm analysis: CoQ10, Chinese Herbs, Vitamin D, Zinc, Omegas, L-Arginine , L-Carnitine and Selenium. These can optimize health and increase sperm count as well as improve sperm motility.
- Nutrition - Nutrition plays a huge role in sperm health. Ahealthy diet can boost sperm production. Eating more whole foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and healthy fats is important.
- Exercise - One of the best ways to manage stress, maintain a healthy weight, and balance your hormones is with exercise. When it comes to exercise, even 30 minutes a day can go a long way. Consider incorporating activities such as walking, swimming, yoga, or hiking into your daily routine. Cycling is one exercise for men to consider stopping while seeking to get pregnant. Studies show that men bicycling more than five hours per week had a lower sperm concentration. It is also important to keep in mind that too much exercise can also be problematic. Over exercising may increase body temperature to a level that is threatening to sperm production. It can also temporarily lower testosterone production. Just like everything else, there is a balance that must be honored in order to see the results you want.
- Stress Reduction - Stress is more harmful to our system that we may realize. It can interfere with your body's natural functions and interrupt hormone responsiveness. This results in blood being diverted from the reproductive organs, which decreases the production of sperm. It is important to find ways to promoting relaxation. Some practice that are known to reduce stress include yoga, meditation, qi gong, and tai chi.
- Limit Caffeine - An excess of caffeine may impair sperm production, cause abnormalities in chromosomes or affect sperm motility. Moderation is key when it comes to caffeine. Aim for a max of 200mg caffeine per day.
- Caution with Drugs & Marijuana - Prescription and nonprescription drugs can have a toxic effect on sperm. Common antibiotics like penicillin and tetracycline, phenytoin, glucocorticoids, sulfasalazine, and nitrofurantoin may interfere with fertility. Marijuana can also inhibit fertility. A chemical ingredient in marijuana is very closely related to testosterone, which causes the body to produce less of its own. Marijuana also accumulates in the testes which can lower libido, causing impotence, and sometimes even sexual anxiety. Fortunately, if you stop smoking, you will probably see an improvement in sperm quality within a few months.
- Limit or Stop Alcohol - Alcohol breaks down in the body in a way that is toxic to sperm. Luckily, if you stop drinking, most of the damage will be reversed. Studies have showed that avoiding all alcohol at least 10 days before making an IVF sperm sample can dramatically increase chances of a successful pregnancy. More information on alcohols effect on IVF.
- Toxins - Exposure to pesticides and other toxins can affect your sperm count and quality. Unfortunately, our modern world has an abundance of toxins that we are exposed to on a daily basis. However, there are many obtainable ways to reduce your exposure. For some tips and tricks, check out our blog, Toxic Effect on Reproductive Health, as well as Environmental Working Group for a list of conventional products shown to have both the highest and lowest amount of pesticides.
- Hot Temperatures - The normal body temperature is between 97.7–99°F. Hot temperatures can overheat semen. Try to reduce your time in hot tubs and saunas, or doing activities that increase your temperature. If in hot temperatures such as hot tubs and saunas, applying ice to the testicles to lower the temperature can be helpful. Check out Snow Balls

It seems some of us have been thinking thoughts not approved by the Prowlers That Be and that something is to be done about it.
It's no wonder they are concerned: Thoughts can quickly turn into beliefs, and when you put enough sound ones together, consider them for a while and let it all sink in – you end up with something dangerous that is inevitably going to spread. Things are now starting to heat up, because people with all kinds of ideas are beginning to see that they have been hoodwinked.
All this is bad news for the Powers That Used-To-Be. But am I really being fair to them? Can't we give them any benefit of the doubt?
Alright then; just for a moment, let's try and see it purely from the other person's point of view. Let's delve – ever so briefly, if that's okay – into the benevolent and paternal minds of officials, politicians, and elites; they are People too, you know:
After all, they have put a lot of time and effort into moulding and shaping the media, who have helped us know quite clearly what the correct and responsible thoughts are.
As if that wasn't enough, they went to the trouble of taking society's children at an early age and helped them to know the proper thoughts that they should think, in school.
At great expense, they have paid the properly qualified Experts handsomely and rewarded compliant corporations richly, when they helped us to know what to think.
Why, for our own good, they even invested society's money for it in churches and charities, helping us to understand how little difference there is between charity and bureaucracy, giving and properly organised theft, peace and war, faith in God and honouring and obeying them.
Surely it can't have been easy for the Appointed Ones, having to make the tough decisions with society's money to make all these things happen. They felt our pain. Yes, and what thanks do they get? None whatsoever; theirs is a thankless task – and what's worse, recently some ingrates have even had the nerve to complain.
So, should we not feel sorry for them, extend mercy and grace, give them one more chance? Doesn't it seem unfair that all they have worked for can be jeopardized in just a few years by… the internet?
….. You think not?
I thought not. Of course, you're right.
That's just what they are afraid of – because if they are shown no more mercy than they have shown to their innocent war victims or their enslaved taxpayers, they are in deep trouble.
The Internet To The Rescue
So thank God for the internet! Just when it seemed the grid of State power was maxing out; along came the internet to short circuit everything.
It's too late now, the cat's out of the bag and I doubt there is a way the internet can be completely turned off – or if they try, it will be a last dying act of desperation, because governments themselves and their big corporate friends depend so much on it.
Instead, the game plan is to regulate and to filter – to choose and approve the thoughts we have access to – partly by creating dependencies and alliances with mega-business gatekeepers like ISPs and search engines, and partly by legislation.
That's why in the US, legislation is now being crafted that is pretty much in line with China and other totalitarian regimes:
Sites that are not approved simply would not be served up to the user.
Popular encrypted services such as Skype, based in privacy conscious places like Luxembourg, would have to either close down or poison their software with back doors and set up local surveillance offices for easy bullying. Skype's local Chinese partner did just that some time ago and now US intelligence agencies have painted a target on Skype almost by name in this legislation.
However, even if it passes, a new Skype username on a mobile or unofficial portable version of the software, from a random public Wi-Fi or VPN connection is just one unknown and encrypted caller among tens of millions. In that case, the chances of any effective eavesdropping would still be slim to none.
In mysterious harmony, new internet crackdowns are also being announced in the UK and worldwide, supported by the most desperate and ridiculous scaremongering: Why on earth would a power station want critical systems to be on the internet anyway? As it turns out, most are not, the recent scare was mostly exaggeration – and those that are online should just pull the plug out.
They are getting so desperate, I expect we are all going to be treated to a number of new and exciting false-flag/molehill-mountain shows – anyone remember golden oldie episodes like "Patsies on Parade," "The Poison Powder in the Post Mystery," "Great Balls of Fire – the Underwear Bomber Reveals All," "Best Ever Comedy Hotfoot" "Meet The World's Worst Osama Bin Ladin Impersonator" etc? National security propaganda has become almost as obvious to me as the spook-mail I got after writing the article, "Practical Internet Privacy."
The Domain Name System
There are several ways of censoring the Net, but one of the easiest, most prevalent, and a key method in the proposed legislation is to censor the internet "Domain Name System," commonly known as "DNS." Here's how it works:
Imagine there is someone you want to call on the phone. So, you call directory enquiries to get the number, only to be told the number is unlisted. DNS internet censorship is basically the same idea.
When you put a website name in your browser, it goes behind the scenes to a kind of directory service, usually supplied by your internet provider or its bandwidth provider, called a "DNS server." This serves up the website number ("IP Address") and gets you to the site.
Yes, all websites are actually numbers – and quite often if you have the number, you can still get through, even under censorship. Another simple way round censorship could be to stop using your internet provider's DNS and manually set another – it's not difficult and there are many on the Net, in many countries.
There is one more important matter about DNS enquiries.
In making a regular phone call to directory enquiries for a number, you are also telling them three things:
- Who you are
- Who you are contacting, and
- The time of your conversation.
They may not be able to actually listen in, but that's still a lot of useful information for snoopers – and a starting point for more.
DNS internet surveillance works in basically the same way, and this is one area where most internet privacy services fall down.
Internet Privacy Services
To help get round surveillance and censorship, there are many free and paid "proxy" services, but beware, some are owned by password-harvesting hackers. Proxies can be made to work, but normally do not encapsulate the whole of your internet activity. You can easily specify a proxy in your browser or use proxy software, but there will be many possible leaks. Of course, a good proxy is better than nothing and may be perfectly adequate for some purposes and budgets. Also Tor is a notable exception, with good anonymity for browsing – but also slow.
The real route to privacy is to completely wrap up all your internet activity in an impenetrable tunnel and route it so that everything comes out somewhere else. These services are generally called VPN (Virtual Private Network) services. They advertise themselves as completely encrypting your internet, using better-than-military grade technology, and invite you to trust them completely.
If your privacy is important, here is where you need to be careful.
Everything they say may be true, about the content of your internet activity – but remember the directory enquiries example and the three things it exposes? You would think surely a VPN service would wrap up the DNS enquiry too, but very often they do not.
Instead, the internet provider's DNS server may still be used, informing them and anyone watching, of every site you visit, including internet calls made, to whom, and when. The VPN service will argue that it is your computer and not their service that leaks this info, but to be true to their privacy promises, they should at least have an immediate solution ready for their customers. Very few do.
Tech Note: In fact, I had to develop a full solution (also resolving e.g. browser uniqueness) purely for myself and private clients – but did, a year or two ago post a basic solution for Windows users over at the perfect-privacy.com forum. It can easily be modified for any VPN service. Mac users need to use "Viscosity" with certain settings to connect. iPhone/iTouch basic VPN users seem to be OK.
How To Choose A VPN Provider
Happily, one effect of recent aggressive intellectual "property" enforcement has been to spawn a large number of new VPN services. Here is one list of more than a hundred.
First, I want to assure you that I have no financial or other interest in any provider. I have even been offered several free accounts and declined them all. This information is only to help enlighten users and to inspire more VPN services to compete harder for their business.
Because, depending on your privacy objectives and uses, a VPN service can be as critical as a bank. In order to be safe, you must seriously consider whether a VPN service could be run by informants, crooks or spooks.
Bear in mind – if sharing business secrets, organizing protests, orchestrating WikiLeaks-type whistle-blowing, accessing trading or financial accounts – that the owners of a VPN service or its technicians could be tempted, blackmailed or threatened into betraying or robbing you.
Of course, I can identify with VPN operators who may justifiably want to remain hidden themselves and users should not want to be served by the easily targeted, who do not practice what they preach.
So, here's what we have to go on:
- Reputation – over a period of time (discount obvious spam or slurs by competitors on forums).
- Terms of Service – (spooks want a semi-legal front; sharks offer weasel terms in small print).
- Location – legal and physical.
- Technical factors and specifications.
In choosing a VPN service then, here are some things to look for:
- An unequivocal no-logs policy. Not easily found, but there are some. The bottom line: logs that do not exist cannot be used. If logs exist, however obscured, they exist only to be read and present a target and temptation. Blind trust is not enough for critical privacy. Could a no-logs claim be false? Yes, but outright liars will soon manifest themselves.
- VPN server locations and route: For anything like internet calls, timely financial trading or offshore banking, you need to be able to choose the country and location of your VPN connection. Check your desired locations and routes are available.
- An extra "hop" means chaining one VPN server after another, which is good for privacy but, if fixed by the VPN provider, can make internet telephony etc. unusable. Tech Note: Also, if traffic is decrypted then re-encrypted for the second hop – that is an added vulnerability, especially if logs are kept. A less instant but better method will work with many VPN services: first a simple VPN connection of the user's choosing, and then another unbroken "hop" straight through that, to a second VPN/proxy location, again of the user's choosing.
- No bandwidth rationing: Rationing makes a service unsuitable for file sharing, downloading, or making the internet available to a whole home or office.
- File-sharing-friendly Terms Of Service – at least for countries where legally possible.
- Anonymous payment; or payment where personal details are not supplied directly. The VPN service will get your IP address anyway – but all the more reason for a no-logs policy.
- Multiple logins. At least for computers at the same address and to enable "hops."
- A business base well outside your home country, preferably in a privacy conscious one.
- Big enough to serve you… A big crowd is easier to get lost in. A small, little used service could mean you are the only one connecting in and going out of a VPN server at times. Normally this is OK, but it does make identification easy if the VPN server itself is under surveillance.
- True believers: Hard-core principled privacy advocates will fight hardest for you. Over time, this will be evident in many ways, not just a pro-privacy advertising slogan.
Final Thoughts
Despite the fact that most internet crime is committed with all identification fully in place – i.e. identity theft – authoritarians just hate the idea that they are not watching everyone all the time.
Unfortunately, some VPN abuse is inevitable and this is used as an excuse to violate everyone. VPN services have to deal with spammers and fraudsters quite often, so it is important to have a service that will fight rather than take the easy road. One VPN service I can fully recommend, Perfect-Privacy, had a VPN server seized recently in Germany. As promised, there were no logs so there were no problems, and they have many alternate servers across the globe.
How much should you pay for a VPN? If you pay annually, you can have a good service for around $15 a month, or if paying monthly expect $30. Lower cost may actually mean more petty abuse problems, but competition is bringing prices down and new, unproven services may be a lot cheaper.
You can find more specific VPN suggestions, warnings, and other privacy related matters in three earlier articles: "Easy Internet Privacy" (Low/No-Tech), "Practical Internet Privacy" (Low-Tech), and "Practical Internet Privacy – Postscript" (Low/Mid-Tech).
From time to time, I'll alert readers to significant changes or updates, and focus articles on specific areas of internet privacy. Hopefully, this article and the others will help you defend your privacy, get round censorship, and select the best options to do it.

The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. T1 Circuit Wiring Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. T1 Circuit Wiring Diagram. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system.

The story of my life right now… I had every intention of having this post up BEFORE Cinco de Mayo. So, I'm only 6 weeks behind the times. No big deal right? All complaints aside, I only have 3 more weeks of dual duty left. Hoping to get some time in the kitchen come July. We will see. If it gets too hot around here, you might be seeing lots of ice cream recipes 🙂
Thankfully, this pie needs no occasion. The recipe is my dad's. If you gave dad the choice when we were younger, this was the recipe he was making anytime we needed to take a dessert to a function. With only 3 ingredients outside the graham cracker crust, I can't blame him. It is easy and delicious. Dad has made both lime and lemon versions of the pie, but the lime has always been my favorite.
Still working on finding my perfect homemade graham cracker crust, so if anyone has a great one, I would love it. For now, I'll leave that part up to all of you!
Doesn't this just make you want to sit outside with a slice and a margarita? Enjoy!

My latest for Watchdog.org notes one thing in the Ferguson report that is actually worth complaining about:
The City's emphasis on revenue generation has a profound effect on FPD's approach to law enforcement. Patrol assignment an schedules are geared toward aggressive enforcement of Ferguson's municipal code, with insufficient thought given to whether enforcement strategies promote public safety or unnecessarily undermine community trust and cooperation.
This practice sets up a perverse reward system if you are a cop, the report explained:
Officer evaluations and promotions depend to an inordinate degree on "productivity" meaning the number of citations issued.
Of course the left's outrage here would be more believable if not for …
Alas, while this unity in protecting citizens from abuse sounds hopeful in theory, the reality is the outrage over this practice, at least for some, is selective.
What is selective about it? You'll have to go to Watchdog.org to find out
