Party Bus Business Idea
If you really know how to have a good time, you might be interested in how to start a party bus. This opportunity would allow you to turn your best qualities into a profitable business. Of course, it won't be all fun and games. You'll always have an unruly guest or a few partiers who don't know when to stop, but you may be able to smooth things over if you can keep your cool in difficult situations.
A party bus business involves driving revelers to a specific destination and back, or it could involve driving from bar to bar on weekends and special holidays. You could offer this as a charter service for special groups or allow individuals to purchase tickets.
When thinking about how to start a party bus, you will obviously need at least one bus. If you have the funds, you may consider purchasing a full-size bus for larger groups and a large passenger van for smaller parties. This would allow you to accommodate a variety of situations without excessive fuel costs.
What would a party be without decorations and refreshments? You should plan on supplying your guest's needs based on each event. For bachelor parties, alcoholic beverages might be enough. If you are carrying a group to a sporting event, team-themed decorations along with alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and snacks will be appreciated. You should also keep cleaning equipment and supplies on hand to keep the party bus spotless and to clean-up mid-trip if someone becomes car-sick.
How To Start A Party Bus – Startup Ideas
Between trips, you'll have lots of administrative and marketing tasks to keep you busy. Like most businesses in today's world, you should plan on investing in computer equipment and software to store information about your income, expenses, operations, and customers. If you hire drivers or other employees, you'll need to track their hours, wages, and benefits. Your operation will also require business forms including contracts, invoices, and liability releases.
Licensing is another consideration when learning how to start a party bus. Like any other business, you'll need a regular business license for your office. Anyone who drives the party bus will need a commercial driver's license (CDL) that is approved to carry passengers. Depending on your state and local laws, there may be additional licenses and regulations that must be complied with.
In addition, you and your drivers will have to abide by the Department of Transportation (DOT) rules for drivers. This involves maintaining an on and off duty log to make sure that no one drives more than the approved time. A party bus business should have excellent commercial vehicle coverage for the bus and passengers in addition to general liability and workman's compensation policies.
Finding Customers For Your Party Bus Business
Once you've learned how to start a party bus business, it's time to find some passengers. Local advertisement will be critical to drawing customers. You could offer to sponsor a party bus trip in partnership with a local radio station when they are giving away tickets to a concert or sporting event. The free advertisement generated by this single trip could be priceless. Flyers in local bars and restaurants, listings on tourism websites, and creating your own website are other great ways to find passengers – or for them to find you!
Expanding Your Business
Your new party bus business will soon be turning people away, and it will be time to expand. Consider adding more buses or starting a party bus business in another town. You may also want to add a limousine or taxi service. If you don't want to deal with more drivers, a rental vehicle service could be another option. To go in a completely different direction, consider promoting events such as concerts and festivals that party buses could drive to. Lots of expansion ideas to consider when learning how to start a party bus!

2 Corinthians 6-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Their Ministry Commended
6 And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain— 2 for He says,
"At the acceptable time I listened to you,
Behold, now is "the acceptable time," behold, now is "the day of salvation"— 3 giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited, 4 but in everything commending ourselves as [a]servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses, 5 in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger, 6 in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, 7 in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left, 8 by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true; 9 as unknown [b]yet well-known, as dying [c]yet behold, we live; as [d]punished [e]yet not put to death, 10 as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing [f]yet possessing all things.
11 Our mouth [g]has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our heart is opened wide. 12 You are not restrained [h]by us, but you are restrained in your own [i]affections. 13 Now in a like exchange—I speak as to children—open wide to us also.
14 Do not be [j]bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 Or what harmony has Christ with [k]Belial, or [l]what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? 16 Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said,
"I will dwell in them and walk among them;
Paul Reveals His Heart
7 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Make room for us in your hearts; we wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we took advantage of no one. 3 I do not speak to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live together. 4 Great is my confidence [m]in you; great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction.
5 For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side: conflicts without, fears within. 6 But God, who comforts the [n]depressed, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 7 and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more. 8 For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it—for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while— 9 I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything [o]through us. 10 For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance [p]without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. 11 For behold what earnestness this very thing, this [q]godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter. 12 So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the offender nor for the sake of the one offended, but that your earnestness on our behalf might be made known to you in the sight of God. 13 For this reason we have been comforted.
And besides our comfort, we rejoiced even much more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all. 14 For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before Titus proved to be the truth. 15 His [r]affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling. 16 I rejoice that in everything I have confidence in you.
Great Generosity
8 Now, brethren, we wish to make known to you the grace of God which has been given in the churches of Macedonia, 2 that in a great ordeal of affliction their abundance of joy and their deep poverty overflowed in the wealth of their liberality. 3 For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own accord, 4 begging us with much urging for the favor [s]of participation in the [t]support of the [u]saints, 5 and this, not as we had [v]expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God. 6 So we urged Titus that as he had previously made a beginning, so he would also complete in you this gracious work as well.
7 But just as you abound in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and in all earnestness and in the [w]love we inspired in you, see that you abound in this gracious work also. 8 I am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. 10 I give my opinion in this matter, for this is to your advantage, who were the first to begin a year ago not only to do this, but also to desire to do it. 11 But now finish [x]doing it also, so that just as there was the readiness to desire it, so there may be also the completion of it by your ability. 12 For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. 13 For this is not for the ease of others and for your affliction, but by way of equality— 14 at this present time your abundance being a supply for their need, so that their abundance also may become a supply for your need, that there may be equality; 15 as it is written, "He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little had no lack."
16 But thanks be to God who puts the same earnestness on your behalf in the heart of Titus. 17 For he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest, he has gone to you of his own accord. 18 We have sent along with him the brother whose fame in the things of the gospel has spread through all the churches; 19 and not only this, but he has also been appointed by the churches to travel with us in this gracious work, which is being administered by us for the glory of the Lord Himself, and to show our readiness, 20 [y]taking precaution so that no one will discredit us in our administration of this generous gift; 21 for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. 22 We have sent with them our brother, whom we have often tested and found diligent in many things, but now even more diligent because of his great confidence in you. 23 As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker [z]among you; as for our brethren, they are [aa]messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ. 24 Therefore [ab]openly before the churches, [ac]show them the proof of your love and of our reason for boasting about you.
God Gives Most
9 For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the [ad]saints; 2 for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, namely, that Achaia has been prepared since last year, and your zeal has stirred up most of them. 3 But I have sent the brethren, in order that our boasting about you may not be made empty in this case, so that, as I was saying, you may be prepared; 4 otherwise if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we—not to speak of you—will be put to shame by this confidence. 5 So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren that they would go on ahead to you and arrange beforehand your previously promised [ae]bountiful gift, so that the same would be ready as a [af]bountiful gift and not [ag]affected by covetousness.
6 Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows [ah]bountifully will also reap [ai]bountifully. 7 Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; 9 as it is written,
"He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor,
10 Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; 11 you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God. 12 For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the [ak]saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God. 13 Because of the proof given by this ministry, they will glorify God for your obedience to your confession of the gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your [al]contribution to them and to all, 14 while they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you. 15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
Paul Describes Himself
10 Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am [am]meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent! 2 I ask that when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I propose to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but [an]divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.
7 [ao]You are looking at [ap]things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also are we. 8 For even if I boast somewhat [aq]further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame, 9 [ar]for I do not wish to seem as if I would terrify you by my letters. 10 For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his [as]personal presence is unimpressive and his speech contemptible." 11 Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.
12 For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with [at]some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding. 13 But we will not boast beyond our measure, but [au]within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you. 14 For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ; 15 not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, [av]within our sphere, enlarged even more by you, 16 so as to preach the gospel even to the regions beyond you, and not to boast [aw]in what has been accomplished in the sphere of another. 17 But he who boasts is to boast in the Lord. 18 For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.
Paul Defends His Apostleship
11 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but [ax]indeed you are bearing with me. 2 For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin. 3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. 4 For if [ay]one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. 5 For I consider myself not in the least inferior to the [az]most eminent apostles. 6 But even if I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not so in knowledge; in fact, in every way we have made this evident to you in all things.
7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge? 8 I robbed other churches by taking wages from them to serve you; 9 and when I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for when the brethren came from Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, [ba]and will continue to do so. 10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia. 11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
12 But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be [bb]regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting. 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
16 Again I say, let no one think me foolish; but if you do, receive me even as foolish, so that I also may boast a little. 17 What I am saying, I am not saying [bc]as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting. 18 Since many boast according to the flesh, I will boast also. 19 For you, being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly. 20 For you tolerate it if anyone enslaves you, anyone devours you, anyone takes advantage of you, anyone exalts himself, anyone hits you in the face. 21 To my shame I must say that we have been weak by comparison.
But in whatever respect anyone else is bold—I speak in foolishness—I am just as bold myself. 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they [bd]descendants of Abraham? So am I. 23 Are they servants of Christ?—I speak as if insane—I more so; in [be]far more labors, in [bf]far more imprisonments, [bg]beaten times without number, often in danger of death. 24 Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. 26 I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren; 27 I have been in labor and hardship, [bh]through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and [bi]exposure. 28 Apart from such [bj]external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. 29 Who is weak without my being weak? Who is [bk]led into sin [bl]without my intense concern?
30 If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness. 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying. 32 In Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me, 33 and I was let down in a basket through a window [bm]in the wall, and so escaped his hands.
Paul's Vision
12 Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I will go on to visions and revelations [bn]of the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know how such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows— 4 was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak. 5 On behalf of such a man I will boast; but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in regard to my weaknesses. 6 For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me.
A Thorn in the Flesh
7 Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to [bo]torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! 8 Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9 And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast [bp]about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with [bq]insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
11 I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the [br]most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody. 12 The [bs]signs [bt]of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by [bu]signs and wonders and [bv]miracles. 13 For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
14 Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. 15 I will most gladly spend and be expended for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be loved less? 16 But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself; nevertheless, crafty fellow that I am, I took you in by deceit. 17 Certainly I have not taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you, have I? 18 I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not [bw]conduct ourselves [bx]in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?
19 All this time [by]you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for your upbuilding, beloved. 20 For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances; 21 I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past and not repented of the impurity, [bz]immorality and sensuality which they have practiced.

Veggies and dip.
Fruit Roll Up.
Pop Tart.
She ate all of that before 4pm.
Then ate her dinner.
And wanted fruit after.
And gummies.
And anything else she could find in the cupboards.
She was starving.
You know why?
Because she doesn't eat at school.
I have never been one to panic about change.
I have never been a helicopter parent who hovers over my children at all times making sure they do what I want....what I think is right.
I am sad that my girl is not comfortable enough at school to ask for help if she needs it.
I am sad that lunchtime is so rushed that my slow eater might only get a few bites in before they are kicked outside for recess.
I just want to be a fly on the wall so I can see every single second, my shy, quiet little one is away from me.
I want to encourage her, praise her, hold her hand, tell her she is such a "big girl" and...well...make sure she is OK.
But then I would be hovering.

I make this recipe when I realize I have way too much celery and I need it gone before it goes bad.
The flavor reminds me of mean green and it's a much lighter color. It seems to be a great beginner juice for those who love celery!
- Juicing helps you absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. This is important because most of us have impaired digestion as a result of making less-than-optimal food choices over many years. This limits your body's ability to absorb all the nutrients from the vegetables. Juicing will help to "pre-digest" them for you, so you will receive most of the nutrition, rather than having it go down the toilet.
- Juicing allows you to consume an optimal amount of vegetables in an efficient manner. If you are a carb type, you should eat one pound of raw vegetables per 50 pounds of body weight per day. Some people may find eating that many vegetables difficult, but it can be easily accomplished with a quick glass of vegetable juice.
- You can add a wider variety of vegetables in your diet. Many people eat the same vegetable salads every day. This violates the principle of regular food rotation and increases your chance of developing an allergy to a certain food. But with juicing, you can juice a wide variety of vegetables that you may not normally enjoy eating whole.This is partly because you should only start by juicing vegetables that you enjoy eating non-juiced. The juice should taste pleasant — not make you feel nauseous.It is very important to listen to your body when juicing. Your stomach should feel good all morning long. If it is churning or growling or generally making its presence known, you probably juiced something you should not be eating. Personally, I've noticed that I can't juice large amounts of cabbage, but if I spread it out, I do fine.
- Apples (granny smith) – 3 small (3-1/4″ dia) 446g
- Celery – 7 stalk, large (11″-12″ long) 512g
- Lemon (with peel) – 1 fruit (2-1/8″ dia) 58g
- Orange (peeled) – 2 fruit (2-5/8″ dia) 131g

If you think the day to a day of a bookie is easy, think again. It is quite complex work and most of us could probably not handle the level of information gathering and synthesis that is required to set odds that are competitive within the market, while at the same time staying up to date with the various markets available.
A Day Of A Bookie in a Nutshell
How a bookie can become successful? He (or she) has to be able to offer opportunities that can't be found anywhere else. They have to offer interesting odds that are unique to their own research. Punters look for new experiences as well as differences in bet prices. And the bookie with the best prices and most interesting offers get the business. Here are some of things a bookie goes through in their quest to provide betting opportunities.
Finding the Right Lines – A Day Of A Bookie
The first thing that a book maker has to do is collect the most accurate information possible in order to decide on a price for the odds at stake for one bet or another. The lines which show the information have to be very dependable, and because a lot of people depend on that information to be very accurate, book makers tend to find several sources for their lines.
Setting the Spread – A Day Of A Bookie
Another important thing that a bookie has to do is figure out how to make bets interesting. The lines give the hard data and official odds, but that does not always include public opinion. Based on popularity of one bet or another, the bookie adjusts the prices of the bet to entice bettors to play. One reason that they do this is because they try to get an equal amount of money on either side of the bet.
You want to know about a day of a bookie? Or you would like to understand what goes on in the decisions that affect odds on online gambling sites? Here are the first things that you must consider. Starting out on the right foot is the best way to move forward in a strong and controlled manner.

Kickass-ingest Case GameSpy goes around
the BYOC area and awards tickets to our party for the coolest
case. — Hellchick
So we're all sitting in the BYOC area of QuakeCon
admiring a few cases here and there - one with a lucite cutout
and neon inside, another with a Q3A logo airbrushed on its
side. Then Fargo is hit with an idea - "I know," he says,
"let's give some tickets away to people with the coolest
Immediately we ran up to the central podium and asked
the DJ to make an announcement that we were on the prowl.
Pretty soon, Fargo and I had a small crowd of about 10 people
gathered around us, so off we went to inspect their cases.
Though it was tough, we narrowed the winners list down to one
grand winner (a t-shirt AND tickets) and three place
Place - Mission Impossible
Third place goes to
Shane "Tanj" Stenger who had his entire computer packed into a
suitcase, kinda like something out of Mission Impossible. It
has a flat screen in there, and he's currently using it as a
Linux server. Damn!
Second Place - Technical Achievement
First Place - Artistic Achievement
Grand Prize - The Big Mutha*&%^ing Fan
Our grand prize winner is Dean "Envader" Liou, who
basically attached a giant house fan to his computer. The neat
thing about it is that the whole thing is built with PVC pipe
and opens up in order to get inside. This is the coolest
computer ever built, both figuratively and literally.
Congrats to all the winners, and thanks to everyone who
wanted to show off their case. We could only pick so many
winners, and it was tough to choose. Maybe next year!

Timbaland x Entertainment Interview (2017)
American music producer, rapper and TV personality Timbaland doesn't feign humility when declaring that he doesn't have challenges to overcome anymore. "In producing, there are no challenges for me—I've been doing it for 20-something years already, it's no longer a challenge," Timbaland, aka Tim Mosely, told the Inquirer in a phone interview. "Right now, it's more like, I want to touch everything in music, dabble in all parts of it."
He did concede that these days, he thinks a lot about one thing: "I try to be in every soccer or basketball game. I want my sound to be everywhere. That's the challenge, to figure out how to put my sound in everything that plays music!" Timbaland, whose prior collaborators include Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott, Nelly Furtado, OneRepublic, Drake and the late Aaliyah, is also taking on a different role—as a mentor to aspiring music artists in the reality tilt, "The Pop Game" (Lifetime, Tuesdays, 9 p.m.). The Grammy winner will record and produce the song of the winning aspirant.
What makes "The Pop Game" different from other talent shows?
It has a one-on-one [mentoring style]. I am the mentor. So it's not about turning a chair; it's just about me. It's not about a kid losing; it's about developing a kid to be the best [he can be]. What's your most memorable producing experience? All of them. There's not one that stands out. Every time I get a chance to walk in and produce a voice on top of my music, it's a blessing, because it introduces another tone. I'm into tones over top of my tracks and what I produce, [so] it's an exciting moment every time. It's different from the last one, it's different from Justin (Timberlake) … everyone is different. They all bring something different to the table.
How different are these hopefuls compared to now-popular artists when they were still starting out?
They are very intelligent and always willing to learn. They're good at what they do, but they know they aren't there yet. To know that at that age is a blessing. A lot of people come into acting arrogant, thinking they know everything. Not these kids. They just want to get better.
How has the American music industry changed compared to when you started?
The only difference is the technology. You don't have to be under a label, so there aren't a lot of restrictions. If an artist is talented, technology gives them a way to be heard, [to stream] on SoundCloud. When I came in, it was very hard, we had to put [up] showcases. Now you just go on your computer and phone and find the next big thing just by searching SoundCloud. These kids get their music out there to be heard. That's something I always said when I was making music, you have to go through so many hoops and loops just to get heard. But now you can create your own page on YouTube and, before you know it, somebody's discovered you.
Would you say it's easier now to break into the industry?
It's the same, it's just easier to be heard, like the studios—you don't need all that stuff anymore. Now, you can do it in your house using your laptops and phones. You have all these devices to make stuff and be creative.
What's the greatest lesson you've learned in all the years of producing?
I learn every day. When it comes to producing, [it's] like going to school—you're always learning something new. So, I compare that to my music career. I never settle.
What do you think is the next big trend or popular music style?
I haven't put it out yet. I'm just being honest. Not being arrogant or anything, but when I do come out with something, it's music, body and soul. Everything has to connect, not just the music—the look, the appearance, how I talk. It's all going to reflect on me. When you're trying to make a statement, everything has to line up.

A. You are given so many options to complete the payment procedure such as – VISA, JCB, MasterCard, Diners card and Amex. At this point we do not provide PayPal payment method.2. What about the authenticity of your products?
A. The products that we sell belong to so many registered cosmetic manufacturers that are 100% authentic and hence one can easily rely on them.3. How much time will it take for the products reach their doorstep?
A. This all depends on the product(s) that you order is in stock in that particular time and your current location. Roughly it takes 5 to 8 working days. After placing the order you will be notified of the estimated delivery time.4. Do you also do dropshipping and wholesale?
A. Yes, we do. You may contact us anytime with the subject like 'Wholesale/Drop Shipping Inquiry' and we will gladly assist you.5. Is it possible that the products are delivered to a different postal address other than my own billing address?
A. Yes, it is possible. After you checkout post payment procedure you are again asked for the shipping address where you can write the desired location.6. Will I be able to track my package online?
A. Yes. After when your product(s) is/are dispatched we will provide you the tracking number through email. This is made available after 36 hours.7. What will I do if I never get my package?
A. If you do not receive your package within the estimated time frame you must immediately inform us regarding the same. We will again re-ship your order or alternatively refund your money.8. How to know the order status?
A. Our customer service department monitors the status of every order till it reaches its destination. Also every customer is given their unique tracking number through which they can know about the order status. If there any issue emerges one may contact the customer service anytime.9. What to do if the package is received in its defective form?
A. If, in any case, a damaged or defective product is received you may immediately contact the customer care representative for the same. He/she will arrange you an alternate shipment.10. I can't see my order after logging in. Why?
A. The number of orders till date can only be seen if you first create an account and then do the purchasing thing. Some customers prefer buying as a guest and in that case they can only receive an email regarding their orders on that particular moment. If you have created your account and still your orders don't show up then you must speak to our customer care representative and he/she will assist you further.11. I would like to add more orders in my already existing order without paying extra shipping charges? How is that possible?
A. If you finish your purchase and realize that you missed something the best alternative is to again make an order separately and email us the reference number for both the orders. We will merge the two and so you won't have to pay any additional charges for the shipment.12. I did not receive my complete order. What to do now?
A. Well our warehouse team is active enough and do not make such mistakes but at times manual errors might occur and one may not get the notification of absence of stock, and therefore could get incomplete order due to that. Sometimes one might also receive the wrong product and for both the cases the only solution is to contact our customer support department. Please attach photographs as well if possible while sending the info regarding that. The warehouse department will then be informed for the same and your correct order will be dispatched.

its a gerat basic phone I think. I purchased it for my mother after the new release in december 2006 maybe. Its still working fine. Sufferd for the charger in the 2nd year for a few day only. After replacing the charger, its nicely working in fornt of my eyes for last 5 years almost. I bought it for only 2500 BDT. As, that was the cheapest phone at that moment in the market. Thanx.
I think that this is good basic phone for people who don`t need anything else like calling and sending sms. I had philips fisio many years ago and It was very robust phone, which was working perfectly.
this phone is the opposite of the carlsberg ad!
probably the worst phone in the world!
messaging and predictive text is a nightmare!
you have to go thru too many menus - call, text, anything - to get to where you want to go.
zero points!!
anyone know how to write a sms without t9? i can't find the option to disable t9
Philips 180 is a good/crapy phone.
It;s best 4 me becouse it's verry tough.
Sometimes I throw my mobile on the floor, when i don;t need it, and it nevre gets "sim error" and the battery never falls from it's soket, not like Nokia and Siemens.
But the phone has crappy ring tones, i use only the "sense simplicity" ringtone 4 sms and incoming calls.
The biggest problem is that it loses it's range verry fast, wen i got to the montain,i habe no signal. And it;s critically to have a workin signal mobile on the mountain.
So 4 the bad signal i have to say DON'T BUY IT! IT MAY KILL YOU ON THE MONTAINS"
Nokia and siemens has o signal problems on the montains, only in valeys, like all mobiles except the big bulki nokias, the ones from 1997
I've always been a fan of Phillips prune juice and their cells. I particularly like the tone on this cellphone. It is very receptive and light weight but extremely fragile
I bought this phone 3 days ago. Brand new. I bought it because I expected the battery would last for a week to ten days. But for the last 3 days, it had already consumed 2 bars of the 4 bars battery life indicator. I used the phone quite heavily, around 50-60 text per day, and 1 hour of talk time each day. Well, if it lasts 5-6 days it is good enough, because this phone is not in the Philips Xenium range, which means it uses "ordinary battery", though the legendary Philips battery life can still be expected. And it's very damn cheap, only US$49!
SMS storage capacity is 300, which is satisfactory for me. Vibration is almost non existent, so this phone doesn't qualify as business phone, because as a businessman myself, I often face a meeting situation that requires silent mode in my cellphone.
Sound reception is fair, though I cannot say excellent. Nokia and Sony Ericsson low end phone may be better in this area. Keypad design is a little bit clumsy, and the keypad's response speed is 10% lower compared to Nokia budget phones. Though in about 10-20 texting, you will get used to its speed.
Calendar / organizer is quite decent. Can store up to 60 appointments / reminders. Ring tone is okay. Quite loud. Build quality is excellent. No creaks, no funny sounds, and no funny feelings though you remove and replace the battery cover a dozen times and more. Feels quite sturdy, though it is very light in weight. Nokia and Sony Ericsson low end phones must give credit to Philips 180 in this area.
Lack of speakerphone can be a problem for you, but I don't really need one, so it's ok for me.
About the backlight, the picture in this website, and all accross the web shows green backlight. Well, mine is blue. It is very bright. Excellent. The keypad is also perfectly illuminated.
OK, conclusion : this phone is not for everybody. It is for everyday, ordinary use. It is a PHONE. Not a portable web browser, neither mp3 player, neither PDA. A phone which works very well. Apart from its shortcomings, such as nearly non existent vibration, clumsy keypad, and lack of loudspeaker, this phone does the job very well. Sense and simplicity. I think the Philips' tagline translates into reality very well through the phone.
The Philips 180 which now I am using, makes my other phone, the glamourous N73 seems very excessive in technology!! :) It makes me realize that I use only 10-20% of the features of my N73, name it : phone, sms, office documents viewer and the browsing. But the camera? The MP3? The radio? Bluetooth? Infrared? EMail?? uh-huh. No no. seldom. once every week or two may be.. you got the idea.
I recommend this phone over Nokia 1200, if you are into texting heavily. But if you need a phone with torch and speakerphone, then go for 1200. They are all about the same price.
Hi everyone! n everybody else who love to leave sort of subconscious negative comments in this our beloved GSM Arena website, common its 2007 not 1997, theres always a choice for each of us no need to be emotionally unstable, chill out guys.
I quote this, from Micheal If I owned a trade business and needed 10 phones for my employees, I wouldn't want them wasting time taking photos or swapping silly pics or ringtones.
And this, from Sebarau For those who don't waste time and money on sending photos, browsing or download, this is your choice.
And this, from Kuso Nice! This thing isn't meant to take drunken pics, or post to your uber-cool blog.This is made to talk. 7 hours of talk time is pretty damn good, and I like that they're "looking back to step forward".Bravo.
And this, from no man its a nice mobile. most of the user only need sms and calling to other phone. they never use other features. so its better for those users. its standby time is really cool.
And this, from Tham you want a handphone to be able to reach help and get you out of trouble, not send fancy colourful photos, listen to songs, download the latest lottery or share market results, etc.
And finally this, from Old School so next time brothers n sisters please not to loathe the appearance of something as what it seems to the eyes but try to understand the cause of it's existence n u'll see the light of joy in every fragile moment of your life. Appreciate life don't do drugs, don't kill yourselves, i love u all. Bravo Philips.
So my family humans, as a civilize human being, my point is stop being a loser everytime u are excruciatingly mentally challenged seeing something like Philips 180. Have a nice spiritual day mmmmuah!!!!
I am not a phone basher and I realize lots of people buy phones to only do what they are mainly made for being making calls but euh ... common ... no color screen even? its 2007 not 1997
It's a very practical and extremely cost-effective
phone, really.
One can have all the "must have" features which
everyone wants therse days - 65K colour display,
camera, MMS, GPRS, 3G, memory card slots, etc
etc - but if your car breaks down in the middle of
nowhere and your battery is dead or dying, that's
when you wished you had this phone.
The very essence of a mobile phone in the first
place is to be able to communicate, especially
in an emergency. In plain English, you want
a handphone to be able to reach help and get
you out of trouble, not send fancy colourful
photos, listen to songs, download the latest
lottery or share market results, etc.
its a nice mobile. most of the user only need sms and calling to other phone. they never use other features. so its better for those users. its standby time is really cool.
my mobile philips 180.my mobile show me nosim
plz repli me how to remove this & master resate coad.
Basic, for you to talk & SMS.
You won't have the pain of carrying your charger every where in case your set run out of battery, as each recharge last you 2 weeks.
For those who don't waste time and money on sending photos, browsing or download, this is your choice.
Funny.........I wonder whether it comes out from the 18th century 2 21st century
is an alternative to all-in-one phones
looks better and is cheaper than (most) competitors
long lasting battery
handy keyboard
light in weight
only one melody can be assigned to all contacts at the same time
It's good to have an option :)
Outstanding. U can see the screen. Light, but too large. Panasonic made smaller phones. A real mobile, suits most people.
Ha Ha Ha 'reminisce old novelties' that is what is this phone referring to. But I like the idea, I certainly do. sometimes i had this memory in mind n i kinda miss the old phones features, the simplicity, the size, the weight, the ringtone which is none of it's kind nowadays and everything else about it in the past. Well my friends this phone is designed clearly as u can see not to meet the high-tec requirements available in most phones contemporarily. It is obviuosly for other aspect...(u figure that out o.k.)so next time brothers n sisters please not to loathe the appearance of something as what it seems to the eyes but try to understand the cause of it's existence n u'll see the light of joy in every fragile moment of your life. Appreciate life don't do drugs, don't kill yourselves, i love u all. Bravo Philips.

Trip: 16
Landmarks Visited: 1
Landmarks To-date: 22
Landmarks Remaining: 331
On Sunday I walked from home to visit a neighborhood landmark. I had bigger ideas for the day, but the weather didn't cooperate--cool, rainy and windy.
I went to see the old Immaculata High School and Convent. It's obviously been abandoned for quite some time. There appear to be three basic sections to the building. The original part is the most ornate and it looks like it included an auditorium, gymnasium or chapel. There are additions on either side that look like they're from the 50's. The addition off the back looks like it included the main classrooms and it is currently in use as a Montessori school. The addition off to the other side appears to have been the dormitories for the nuns. It's definitely empty since you can see completely through the rooms.
For a largely vacant site, it's very well maintained. I only saw one small broken window, and someone mows the lawn and picks up trash.
The entire site has to be pretty valuable because of it's location near Lake Michigan--even give the current economy. I've read that the site is still owned by the Catholic Church which is holding on to it in hopes of putting it to future use. Given that churches don't pay property taxes, I expect the church can hold on for a long time.
I think it would make a great location for a horror film.

Faculty News
Professor Paul Romer's research on macroeconomics is referenced
— December 18, 2016
Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "Mr Romer portrays modern macroeconomics as a racket held together by people who protect their influence. ... Mr Romer claims that the state of macroeconomics is worse. It has regressed. His observations are disturbing in their own right. But what makes them relevant in the context of this discussion is that our economic policy institutions are premised on the idea that these theories are correct. Our independent central bankers are macroeconomists, who were trained in those very models that Mr Romer criticises."

Sox Bullpen Struggles, Lose 10-9 [VIDEO]
The Red Sox and Blue Jays battled back and forth during the game during Saturday afternoon, but when the dust settled, it was Toronto that came out on top in a 10-9 victory.
David Ortiz hit a home run in the top of the ninth inning to break the 8-8 deadlock between the two teams after the Blue Jays had scored four times in the half inning prior. The homer was Ortiz's 13th of the season and he now has 46 RBIs as well. The Jays would come back in the bottom of the ninth inning against Sox closer Craig Kimbrel off of a RBI single by Russell Martin and then a Devon Travis hit that would later score the catcher.
Rick Porcello pitched well for the Sox, getting a no decision and allowing four runs on seven hits over 6.2 innings pitched. The bullpen struggled in the contest in the eighth as Tommy Layne surrendered two runs without retiring a batter and Junichi Tazawa also gave up two scores in just one out. Craig Kimbrel took the loss after giving up two runs in the ninth inning in his longest outing of the season.
Hanley Ramirez led the Sox with three RBIs in the contest and Xander Bogaerts extended his hitting streak to 21 games with his sixth home run of the season. The shortstop also had two singles.
Boston will wrap up the three game series with the Blue Jays tomorrow afternoon. David Price will face RA Dickey in the pitching match-up.

The first unit of the British is done...
I am looking at the movement trays from Warbases to make for easier movement.
Of course the penny bases means that I can crack open my copy of Charge by Charles Grant. Which reminds me I need to get a coat hanger and try to work out how to make an artillery template.

Weight: 19 lbs 7 oz
Height: I forgot to ask! Lol
Today was really the worst clinic visit we've ever had and it had nothing to do with the actual visit!
We of course woke up late, as most of you know Meesha goes to bed between 10p and 1a, so last night was no different but thankfully she normally sleeps in until 9:30a or 10a. So this morning I had to wake her up since our appointment was at 10a, which started off our not so good morning on the wrong side of the bed. By the time we got to the clinic we were 30 minutes late. Meesha was in a ripe mood as I guess anyone would be that got woken up and had to miss breakfast.
Thankfully the visit part went pretty good. Meesha had great weight gain, and her lungs sounded good! Her last swabs came back good as well. So he told us to keep doing what we're doing, which is always a relief to hear!
We talked about the new drug that's been in development for Meeshas gene mutation. It's still a ways off before she will be able to use it (I will post the article next) but it really brings hope to her future.
Finally the last task was the hardest. It was time for her annual blood drawing, and seriously I think drawing blood forms toddler has to be the worst job ever! Thankfully I knew in advance that this was happening so I brought Philip along to help. It was him, me, 3 nurses and the life coach holding her down and calming her down so they could get the blood. I'm glad this isn't a regular thing because I don't know that I could do that often lol
After that we were good to go! Thank goodness, we were there for 3 hour total today. She fell right to sleep once we made it to the car.
Our next appointment is in June!!

A Sevenling for Beauty
This one is inspired by the unbelievably great beach holiday we are having and the soaking in beauty that my soul is getting.
A Sevenling for Beauty
Three things in nature catching at the heart:
the blue-green changing sea; the high gloss on the neck of a horse;
the inscrutability of stars in their constellations.
Three things, closer:
the widened eyes of a child seeing a starfish;
the tenderness in a man's lopsided smile;
a glimpse of your own face in a rockpool, wearing hard years with unexpected lightness.
And all around, beauty: above, below, within;

If you drive west from Raleigh for an hour and a half on US 64, you will come to Randolph County. That is where a North Carolina man is being held on several charges related to possession and distribution of child pornography.
The 21-year-old is being held in Randolph County's jail on 41 counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of minors, according to a news report.
On the Channel 8 website containing the story about the Seagrove man, there are links to a list of articles about North Carolina residents charged with sex crimes, including:
- A High Point man accused of child porn-related crimes
- A man in Alamance County charged with sexual exploitation of a minor
- A Winston-Salem man charged with sex crimes allegedly involving children
- A former school volunteer who is facing child porn charges
- A carnival worker facing charges of sexual assault
- A North Carolina man who has been arrested again for child porn
In the case of the Seagrove man, law enforcement officials say they seized digital media storage devices containing what was described as a "large amount" of pornographic images of children.
After the storage devices were seized, the man reportedly fled the state. He was apparently returned to North Carolina by relatives. He then turned himself over to law enforcement officials. He is being held on a $100,000 secured bond and is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Dec. 6.
In all of these cases, the accused have the right to defend themselves with the assistance of an experienced North Carolina criminal defense attorney.

George Zimmerman seems incapable of retreating to a quiet life and staying out of the spotlight at a time when it seems that would be the most logical thing to do. As if the world hasn't tired of him yet, Zimmerman, who shot and killed unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, was in the news again this week, signing autographs at a gun show, no less.
According to reports, Zimmerman signed photos of himself posing with his dog during a meet-and-greet at the New Orlando Gun Show in Orlando, Florida Saturday. The show tanked, however, reportedly moved to a smaller venue early last week because of a backlash over Zimmerman's scheduled appearance.
Less than 20 people showed up to the event, but that did little to discourage Zimmerman from staying out of the spotlight as he smiled and shook hands as if he actually had something positive to promote, something other than capitalizing on shooting an unarmed black teenager, the only thing Zimmerman is famous for. A married couple, who wished to remain anonymous, were reportedly the only ones in line waiting to meet Zimmerman. The two said Zimmerman seemed "nervous and scared to be there."
Meanwhile public frustration with Zimmerman continues to mount. Every move the former neighborhood watchman has made since his July 2013 acquittal of murder charges has only put his altercation with Martin that night in 2012 even more in question.
His first brush with the law post-Martin, a speeding ticket less than a month later, seemed innocuous enough until it was later revealed that he was armed with a gun at the time. Zimmerman was let go with a just warning. Then came the 911 call from Zimmerman's wife Shellie in September 2013, in which she claimed that Zimmerman threatened her and her father with a gun. Zimmerman was reportedly detained, but never arrested.
Another domestic dispute followed when police were called to the residence of Zimmerman's girlfriend Samantha Scheibe in November of 2013. Scheibe told police that the couple argued and Zimmerman broke a table with a shotgun then pointed it at her. Zimmerman was arrested, but Scheibe later recanted her statements, saying police "misinterpreted" her statements and the case was dropped.
All the while, Zimmerman has decried the public's perception of him and admits to receiving constant death threats. He has a lot of people guaranteeing they're going to kill him and he'll never be a free man, he said.
If that's not enough fodder to question Zimmerman's character, there's more. Last month, Zimmerman's name was mentioned in connection with a possible boxing match with rapper DMX. Boxing promoter Damon Feldman vigorously defended the fight in the face what became a public outcry over Zimmerman's participation, but later folded and called off the event, saying "the racial tension was too much."
Parallels to the O.J. Simpson acquittal are many. Chief among them, though, was Simpson's inability to stay out of the spotlight after what many believe, as they do in the case of George Zimmerman, was a miscarriage of justice. Many are also hoping the similarities don't end there.

IMAGE INFORMATIONEdit
Bert Corbeau Hockey Card
William Paterson V-145-1 Set
Toronto St. Patricks
1923 / 24
1923 V145-1 Hockey card fronts feature a sepia-tinted player picture. A thin black line divides the photo from the white border area. Below the photo is a card number, along with the player's name, team and league designation. The backs are blank.
There are 40 cards in the 1923 V145-1 Hockey set representing four NHL teams. Players are grouped by team, with Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Hamilton making up the set.
Although there is no indication as to who produced the V145 set, the accepted theory is that Canadian confectioner William Patterson, Ltd issued it.
Bertram Orian Corbeau
Born February 9, 1894 in Penetanguishene, Ontario - Died September 21, 1942 in Ontario, Canada
Corbeau played junior Hockey for the Penetang Hockey Club from 1910 until 1912, when he moved up to the Penetang intermediate team. Corbeau signed as a professional with the Halifax Crescents in 1913, playing one season before signing with the Montreal Canadians in 1914. Corbeau would be a member of the Canadiens until October 1922 when he was traded to the Hamilton Tigers for cash. In December 1923, he became a member of the Toronto St. Pats as part of a trade. He stayed with the Toronto franchise and was one of the original Toronto Maple Leafs before being waived in October 1927. He then played two seasons in the minor Canadian Professional Hockey League with Toronto Ravinia and the London Panthers before retiring as a player.
From 1928 to 1929 he coached the Panthers and then for a decade was an NHL referee. Corbeau then returned to coaching with the Atlantic City Sea Gulls of the Eastern Hockey League from 1939 to 1942.
Corbeau was a member of the Montreal Canadiens first Stanley Cup championship team in 1916
Corbeau was the first player to play for both the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs. In the 1926–27 season, he became the first player to record 100 minutes in penalties in one season.
Corbeau is not in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Be ready the night before. That means pick out clothes, pack my lunch and get my bags ready for the next day before I get in bed.
I did really well with this, and it made my morning so much easier. I will admit that Thursday night I didn't get my lunch packed because I got home late from Bunco night, but other than that I had my clothes picked out and my gym bag packed each night.
2. Try Kickbox Boot Camp at my gym. I've been meaning to try it out since it started last month.
Oh my word. This class kicked my butt. SO HARD! I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday, but if I am back in time, I will do it again.
3. Finish choreographing my Justin Beiber Zumba song. The middle schoolers have spoken. I actually have it half done. I need to finish and practice before I can teach it.
I finished it. I taught it. The girls loved it. Boom.
4. Send stuff to print for this unit. We are supposed to submit things we want copied to the print shop our school district runs. Monday is the start of a new semester so I am starting all over. I would love to have everything for this first unit sent away this week.
Um, not so much, I sent some things, but not everything.
5. No coffee shop. I do love a treat of fancy coffee, but I have noticed my "treats" happening much more frequently. Making coffee at home is cheaper and less calories.
I didn't stop once during the work week. Saturday morning I did drive through McDonald's and get a caramel mocha.
Not too shabby for my first 5 for 5! Here are my goals for this work week:
1. Work out at least 2 times outside of the Zumba class I teach. Classes at the gym or running...
2. Get all my materials ready for the next week before I leave on Friday. I have a really cool system that I started the year using, but it kind of fell apart.
3. No fast food. No stopping for something. None.
4. Make 2 returns. One is a Modcloth return. (I am so sad about this. I love the dress, it just doesn't fit) the other is an in-store return of these flashing light things I bought for a dance at my school but we didn't use.
5. Ship the grandfather clock off. As you all know, we are working on my mom's estate. My grandma's grandfather clock needs to be shipped to Oklahoma. I have some shipping quotes, I just need to set it up.
If you want to link up, follow the button. It goes up on Monday!

to Cacodemons. Pain Elementals interestingly attack by spawning Lost
Souls which fly right at their target, but afterwards stick around to
serve the Pain Elemental. It appears they cannot spawn them except to
attack fortunately preventing them from generating armies of lost

Car Park Reservation System
Budget $250-750 USD
I am working on my senior project "Computer Engineering Student". The project has a register, entrance gate and server on the same pc, and an exit gate. I need the register to be an android application. The entrance and exit gates have an interface for the pc, both of them are connected with Arduino with LED. The project is on Java. My problems are: each program is in a different device, so they need to be connected with the server. As I mentioned above the entrance gate and the server on the same pc, the android application, and the connection with Arduino in entrance gate to light the LED same as the exit. The registered program is checking is the user already registered or not. the entrance and the exit will do the same if the user enters the parking or not. For the Arduino, need to use [login to view URL] . Thank you in advance.

How exciting. I can't wait to see what you finally decide.ReplyDelete
Failing that you could always try the silver leafing..joking!! The zinc would be awesome, and different..I like that!ReplyDelete
Hi Kerri. I have just caught up on your post from yesterday. How lucky are you to have all of these fabulous pieces in your shed, I am soooo envious. I soooo agree with Tricia Rose and Jules...the zing tabletops in these pictures are GORGEOUS!!! I can't wait to see what you do with your table. I hope the pricing came in at a reasonable cost!! Hope you have a wonderful Thursday lovely lady. Hugs ~ Tina xxReplyDelete
Oooooo... loving the look of the Zinc and what a cool material to have on a table I would never have thought of that! And you know you could probably eat straight off it as I take Zinc tablets, they're meant to be good for you - hehehe.... listen to me! I'm so silly!ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see what you decide Kerri, with your great style whatever it is will be fabulous!
- AnonymousJuly 15, 2010 at 10:34 AM
Here at last is the link I promised you Kerri: http://www.rotometals.com/Zinc-Sheet-Videos-s/55.htmReplyDelete
I see the third photo is from Petersham Nurseries, worth the trip to England just to visit, glorious, wonderful place... taking tea in those greenhouses is gobsmacking. I love that their zinc table aren't 'perfect' either - smooth corners so you don't slit an artery en passant, but patches, weathering and bigheaded galvanised nails~
and thanks for the shout!
Oh Kerri, you have so sold me on the metal top... That first shot...OH MY! The 2nd last shot reminds me of a location I used to shoot at in London- it was the most amazing Nursery in Petersham... in amoungst the flowers used to be $1000 candelabras. We set up a coouple of fashion shoots there and the shots were devine... Cam xoxReplyDelete
Ops! I just clicked on 'Source' and realised it is Petersham Nurseries! :) Cam xoxReplyDelete
Or there's always copper... a friend has a divine beaten copper topped dining table. just in case you were trying to keep it simple....!ReplyDelete
Zinc is a gorgeous alternative. I'm actually getting some for the top of a bench seat I'm making though haven't discovered the price yet. If it's expensive I'll need to come up with an alternative. Love the pics you found.ReplyDelete
Hi Kerri, Love the images you have posted and I would go for something like this in my courtyard. Just to 'buck the system' though, I am sticking with the marble top and white base image you posted yesterday for your internal dining table. It won my vote but I know what ever you decide will be wonderful as you have great taste!ReplyDelete
I so wanted a zinc topped island but couldn't afford it! I hope you end up with zinc, it's so very pretty and ages beautifully!!ReplyDelete
Kat :)
I loooove the idea of a zinc table top. It will look fabulous just like all of the tables in your pics. I am jealous that you have a shed full of goodies to choose from, when I read your post yesterday I was wishing I could come and look through your shed. xxReplyDelete
Wow those tables look great. I must have missed your post ( I just can't seem to kieep up with everyone these days!!) but look forward to seeing the end result!!ReplyDelete
Oh yes zinc... how spectacular. The pictures you have posted are just divine. A-M xxReplyDelete
oh I hadn't seen zinc used this way...just love it...just caught up on yesterdays post. Whatever you decide will be devine. I'm envious that you have a whole shed to stash your finds. Good luck!ReplyDelete
Yes, I vote for zinc,ReplyDelete
if it the cost isn't
too dear....
Please let us know
what you find out : )!
xx Suzanne
OOOHHHH, the zinc is lovely, I especially love the second pic with the giant mirror, what a lovely option. I imagine it would be hard wearing as well!!!ReplyDelete
Great posting, so many choices....and great advice from the girls, I know Jules but not Tricia so will try to pop over later :)ReplyDelete
Hehe, i really wish all the people in my real world would take my advice as easily!!! but you know what, i changed my mind...i agree with Kerry, we really need to see some silver leaf!ReplyDelete
I hope you can get your hands on some zinc, not always the easiest stuff to track down, but it is nice and soft to work with, and you can nail it on at the edges - got to love something you can whack with a hammer and it will still look good. If you don't have one, grab one of those soft rounded end hammers for working on the corners ;)
Oooo can't wait to see what you do!ReplyDelete
Oh, did you see thisReplyDelete
Thought of you with the table! xox
Love the idea of covering your table with zinc. Seeing it up close in Dave's studio (the post you commented on) sold me on it. You should consider emailing him for any tips on how to apply it. I noticed he used particular type of nails. Let him know your contacting him from Australia - he's very nice and I'm sure he'd reply. Thanks for adding me to your blog roll - Im adding you too.

The Phone Call That Brought Basketball Cards Back
It was an experiment that would bring basketball cards into the mainstream for collectors.

Jewish assimilation — the loss of followers through attrition, absorption into other faiths, or the practice of no faith — harkens back to Joseph, the first Israelite to live in a diaspora. In Mikeitz, we read how Joseph adopted Egyptian customs and clothes, took an Egyptian wife, and was given the Egyptian name Zaphenath-paneah (Genesis 41:45), a sign of acceptance into Egyptian society. Joseph offers us a window into the broad spectrum of Jewish affiliation and practice that exists today.
Jewish Self-Definition: One Size No Longer Fits All
In Mikeitz we see that Joseph is not an example of assimilation, but rather an example of acculturation and adaption that defines modern Judaism. Joseph attributed his success to God. He navigated the intersection between Judaism and diaspora, overcoming the desire to focus on the supremacy of self and through him our people grew mighty and numerous.

Nathan Thelen had just returned from Los Angeles' Central Library when he hopped on the phone for this interview. Thelen goes to the library a lot. He starts talking about how, not too long ago, he saw a guy on the bottom level of the massive building playing tennis alone against a wall. "Nobody said anything, nobody stopped him," he recalls. Such random encounters are part of what he enjoys about heading downtown to sit among the books. "I like that it doesn't feel sterile," he adds.
In truth, there's a lot about Los Angeles that Thelen, half of the duo Drug Cabin, finds inspiring. "I can walk around in any neighborhood and there are so many interesting aspects of living here," he says., "From the mountains to the sea, there's nowhere like it, in my mind."
Thelen moved here in 2004. The former Pretty Girls Make Graves guitarist stays in the city while he works and retreats to Morongo Valley when he has time off.
The influence of life in L.A. is apparent in Drug Cabin's song titles: "Hollywood," "California," "Beverly Glen." The last one is from the forthcoming album, Wiggle Room, and, despite its name, the inspiration comes from Italy. "When I wrote the song, it was while watching a Fellini movie," says Thelen. He can't recall exactly which movie it was now, but says that probably inspired the "old school feel" that the song has. With its melancholy folkiness, "Beverly Glen" (which L.A. Weekly is happy to premiere below) hits the timeless note, never really connected to a specific era or place.
For Drug Cabin, there's a certain magic to Los Angeles. Thelen had actually released the first Drug Cabin EP in 2012, having written the songs on his own. That time around, he worked with his former Pretty Girls Make Graves bandmate, Nick DeWitt. While putting together a live band, Thelen ended up jamming with Marcus Congleton, formerly of Ambulance LTD. Neither musician was familiar with the other's work, but they clicked and kept going. Now Drug Cabin is a duo.
The chemistry between Thelen and Congleton is strong. They often write separately, but a number of the songs do develop as collaborations. The results are eclectic and bountiful. Drug Cabin only released their debut full-length,Yard Work,
in February, but the follow-up is out on April 7. They took a month-long studio break in between the making of both albums. Now, whileYard Work
is still catching buzz for its groovy soft rock and soaring harmonies, there's another slew of tunes ready to become your next earworm.
Joined by friends Brandon "Eugene" Owens (bass), Sheridan Reily (drums) and Frankie Palmer (pedal steel), Drug Cabin knocked out Wiggle Room in two weekends. They recorded quickly because of time constraints, due to the musician's touring schedules, but the small window of time worked to the band's advantage. Also helpful was the relatively small set-up at analog-centric Gaucho Electronics, located near MacArthur Park.

"There are so many technologically advanced studios in Los Angeles and this isn't one of them, but I think that helps us out," says Thelen. A studio with a ton of high-tech equipment would have been overwhelming giving how little time they had to work, but at Gaucho Electronics, they were able to record as though they were playing live in an intimate space. "It's not over-produced," says Thelen, noting that there are very few overdubs. "It's true to who we are."
