The European continent has in latter years regularly been hit by floods. In the summer of 1997 Poland experienced one the largest floods in the country's history. Water covered 10 per cent of the country and some three million people were affected. The floods occurred very rapidly which led to many people being injured and it is estimated that 55 people were killed. In Sweden it was first southern Norrland that was hit by large amounts of rain in the summer of 2000, and later in the autumn it was the west of Sweden, resulting in extensive flooding. The conditions concerning amounts of rain, geography, climate and infrastructure differed considerably from those in Poland and therefore the Swedish population was not affected as dramatically. No deaths or personal injuries were reported, nor was there any extra strain on the health service, whose buildings escaped damage.
In Poland control of contagious diseases and health protection worked very well in all essentials. Expected epidemics did not occur and the situation regarding epidemics in the flooded areas was compared to previous years even better than in those that were not flooded. It is judged that a range of factors contributed to things working so well and the most important were
• massive information about hygiene was given to the general public, in particular concerning drinking water, sensitive food and personal hygiene. The information was primarily provided via the radio
• the general public behaved in a disciplined manner and observed the instructions and advice of the authorities
• distribution of drinking water (bottles) and food was quickly arranged locally
• the National Institute of Hygiene had skilful management that centrally controlled the counties' sanitary-epidemiological stations/Footnot: Sw. sanitärepidemiologiska stationer/ out in the country. Any risk or outbreak of infectious diseases was reported daily
• there was healthy scepticism as to whether vaccination could solve the problems and therefore only high-risk groups were vaccinated.
In Sweden there were no reports of more than the normal number of cases of water-borne contagion, neither from South Norrland nor from West Sweden. The number of domestic cases of campylobacter infection in Sweden was lower in 2000 than in 1999. There was in the summer and autumn of 2000 an extensive epidemic of tularaemia in Sweden, which according to the Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control may be seen as a mosquito-borne disease and it was therefore thought that the increase could have been caused by the wet summer and the large number of mosquitoes.
During the floods in Poland it became very clear how dependent we are on a working water supply and the damage to the water and sewage system was very extensive and costly. The water works were located close to the river and the electricity supply was interrupted and untreated water was taken in, which contributed to their being put out of service. Restoration of the water supply was therefore given the highest priority but it still took a month before the main part of the city of Wroclaw again had its normal water supply. When water was again let in to the pipes, it was recommended that it was boiled for ten minutes instead of the usual one minute. Tap water is not normally drunk in Wroclaw unless it is boiled, which certainly contributed to limiting the number of infections during and after the flood. The habit of drinking bottled water in Poland was undoubtedly also of certain importance.
The floods caused problems with the water supply also in Sweden. Several municipal water works had problems with contaminated water but overcame these by chlorination, water distribution in tanks and by a directive to the effect that water should be boiled. Those in charge of the water supply worked hard at managing the municipality's water supply by constant monitoring, testing and damming/Sw. invallningar/. There was a considerable risk of contaminated surface water getting into the water supply sources. Many private wells were contaminated but the risk of infection was kept at a reasonably low level because of the warnings issued. Water was instead taken from safer wells and/or the water was boiled. One problem was that the water laboratory engaged could not cope with the pressure of work in the summer and the waiting time for analysis results was unacceptably long.
Sewage became a problem both in Poland and in Sweden. It was in the flat Polish landscape difficult to draw off the sewage, not least because of back flush of water through sewage pipes and river overflows/Footnot: I det flacka polska landskapet var det svårt att avleda avloppsvattnet inte minst då det i avloppsledningar och bräddavlopp till floder trycktes upp vatten i ledningarna bakvägen. I am uncertain of the exact meaning and the English technical terminology/. In Sweden it became necessary to discharge untreated waste water into the receptors and in spite of considerable dilution in watercourses and lakes it caused the quality of the bathing water to be impaired at certain beaches.
There was an avalanche of refuse in Poland because it was necessary to discard everything that had been water damaged. It was not possible to collect the refuse in the customary way, so it was stored in the open in large piles to be removed later. Rat control was implemented in the autumn and this may have contributed to there being no increase in leptospirosis, which can be spread by rats, in the period.
Compared with the Swedish health service, which was never affected by the floods, the Polish health service in the flooded areas had a number of problems:
• hospitals had to be closed because of the floods
• heavy equipment, e.g. CAT scanners and mainframe computers were destroyed by the water
• patients had to be moved to other hospitals
• otherwise functioning hospitals lost their electricity and water supply
Eleven of 198 hospitals in the flooded areas had to be evacuated. The evacuation and relocation of patients to other hospitals was solved by the Ministry of Health, which was in a position to make rearrangements within the state hospital care service. Poland experienced only a modest increase of persons seeking treatment at the hospitals but non-emergency cases were notwithstanding this not admitted for treatment, e.g. for elective surgery. The hospitals also requested pharmaceuticals from abroad, which led to large amounts of pharmaceuticals being received, which however caused problems rather than provided benefits.
The floods caused very considerable damage to the infrastructure of Poland. The cost has been estimated at 30-40 billion Swedish crowns. Roads, bridges, homes, industries, hospitals, waterworks, water purification plants and flood protection were destroyed. To this should be added extensive damage to the electricity, telecommunications, water and sewage networks. It is estimated that the work with restoring the damage caused by the floods will take at least ten years. Much of the destroyed property had inadequate or no insurance cover. The effects on the infrastructure of the regions in Sweden were more limited. It was primarily the railway and road networks that were damaged.
The emergency arrangements in municipalities and county councils appear to have been good in Sweden. The municipalities' emergency organizations had to bear the brunt of the burden, and this happened in several of the Norrland municipalities that were hit. Those in charge of water supply and environmental offices were attached to the management groups. The floods came in the middle of the holiday periods there and it was difficult to get hold of key persons and many had to interrupt their holidays.
The floods in Poland were so extensive that a national effort was needed. It was some time, however, before the government and the ministries understood the seriousness of the situation and began to take action. A crisis headquarters was established in the evening of 8 July 1997 after the city of Klodzko had been flooded through the torrential rain that had fallen since Saturday 5 July.
On 8 July a decision was made to request aid from other countries, at the same time as considerable rescue operations started, which in due course involved 35 000 men, 76 helicopters, 4 aircraft and 387 boats/amphibious craft. Military personnel and rescue services contributed to saving lives and to providing drinking water, food etc. Volunteers also participated to a large extent.
In many Polish municipalities and counties that were first hit by the flood they quickly realized that outside help was needed. When Warsaw initially decided to wait and see, this led to municipalities, counties, hospitals and aid organizations attempting to get help from abroad. This impaired the possibilities of co-ordinating foreign aid. The United Nations Department of Humanitarian Affairs (UNDHA) was however quickly on site and provided status reports, for instance via the Internet.
There was very a great need for outside aid. In the short term there was above all a need for money, rescue equipment, vaccine, mobile waterworks, mobile electricity plants, large pumps and certain expert support. Those in positions of responsibility in the affected regions are generally subjected to severe media pressure when disasters occur. In some places in Sweden meeting journalists became a full time occupation. Medical officers responsible for infectious disease protection, those in charge of water and sewage and environmental offices as rule managed to get their messages across via the media, which was valuable and perhaps crucial to preventing water-borne contagion.
• In Poland like in many other countries hit by natural disasters, authorities and vital institutions are often criticized for not acting in time. It is in all probability difficult to judge the extent of disasters, at the same time as people do not quite know how to act. Catastrophe plans and exercises are therefore important both at a national, regional and local level, and above all better criteria are needed for when they should be activated.
• It is crucial that one in flood risk areas builds up contingency arrangements to cope with shorter periods of isolation. The contingency arrangements should include above all independent supply of potable water and to some extent energy. When aid from other countries is needed, the request should come from the country's government or crisis headquarters. It is usually of great value to have aid requirements evaluated by observers from outside with experience of disaster medicine.
• Military personnel and volunteers were of great use in both countries. In Sweden also the Home Guard contributed with important efforts. The local contingency organizations ought to have better knowledge of what resources the armed forces can provide.
• The National Swedish Board of Health and Welfare and the Swedish National Food Administration earlier activities concerning contingency plans for health protection, control of infectious deceases and drinking water contributed to a good state of mental preparedness. Swedish exercises and plans for the millennium were also mentioned as having been positive. Some municipalities also had previous experience of extensive flooding and others had previously practised flood scenarios.
• It is crucial that all care institutions of importance have stand-by generators for electricity and water that are adequate for emergency operations for a few weeks.
• Radio communication is of great value when both the land and mobile telephone networks are overloaded and stop working. It may be the only possibility of directing rescue actions. The possibilities of conveying important messages to the general public via transistor radio should also be utilized in case of e.g. power cuts.
• Information to the general public concerning meticulous water and food hygiene is of the utmost importance in providing protection against infectious diseases. Vaccination protection need only be boosted for persons who do not have adequate basic protection, who are particularly sensitive to infection or who are exposed to more contagion than others.
• Supply of potable water is one of the most important initial measures in all types of disasters, also in case of floods. If there is uncertainty about the quality of the water, it should be boiled in order to avoid water-borne contagion.
• When disaster aid is requested from other countries, it can often be established that the aid requirements are presented differently to the picture you get after a couple of days' visit to the country. This applies for instance to the situation in Poland. It is therefore always necessary to make up your own mind about the kind of aid that should be offered.
• The floods were managed better than expected in Sweden. This may to some extent be explained by the landscape being very hilly in the flooded areas. Also, no dams burst and there were no lengthy power cuts. Contingency arrangements were moreover good in the regions, and a network of contacts hade been developed and exercises had been held. Early warning was also given of contaminated water.
• There should in future be recurring exercises and training for personnel within water and sewage, infectious disease control and environmental offices. Water laboratories need to improve their routines in order to be able to carry out water analysis more quickly.
• Location of new sources of water supply, untreated waste water pipes/Footnot: Sw. bräddavlopp/ and healthcare facilities should take into account the risk of flooding and landslide. In Sweden, the water regulation companies should also review the effects of their various strategies for drawing water/Footnot: Sw. tappningsstrategier/.

In April 2010, I was involved in a very interesting project initiated by visual artist, Roslisham Ismail @ Ise. Like many of Ise's previous endeavors, this sound installation involved quite a bit of people - from within and outside the art scene here in Kuala Lumpur. I was co-curating this project with (now regional curator for VWFA) Eva McGovern; and the installation was housed in an abandoned double-story terrace house in the city center.
A little background on this project: Ise produced a number of collages during a period of insomnia, 10 of which were selected as a starting point for this project. These collages were presented to various groups of people (artists, curators, bloggers, musicians, art educators and nursery children) in private viewing sessions where discussions of the works were held (and recorded). The audio recordings of these discussions were then edited into soundscapes that were presented to the public, to replace the collages.
The week long exhibition was punctuated by musical performances by DJ Asung (Jakarta), DJ Dan MacKinlay (Sydney) and a special performance by local post-rock band, Deepset. In hindsight, this project was a successful social collaboration. Special credit have to be given to Mr Bullet - for his generous creative and technical contribution; Mr Bob** - for all the great photo-documentation throughout the entire process; and Ms Jiji - for her smile and people skill, especially little people :)
next up; Shape, Colours, Quantity, Scale, a solo-exhibition by Liew Kwai Fei.

Long Time No See–Chalk It Up To Volunteer Construction and Puppets!
February 12, 2010 at 3:04 am Leave a comment
I can't believe it has been almost a year since my last post! Of course, lots has gone on. My quilting guild gave me the go-ahead to make the guild website http://qntqg.wordpress.com/, so I have been doing my best to keep that reasonably up to date. Wish there was a faster way to add the 10 to 15 "Show and Tell" photos of the ladies' beautiful quilts! Somehow, I messed up the formatting of the blog and I don't know how to get it back to what it should be. That is a discouragement, and the longer I wait, the more discouraging it gets. The old "approach-avoidance" dilemma!
And especially, I began volunteering at a newly established restoration center for abused women and their children. I spent most of that time working in "Building Eight," a lovely three story house that used to be just a single story garage. The campus of this center is truly a place of beauty and rest for all who enter the grounds. My first project was to organize a quilting studio as part of the creative arts-personal development aspect of the restoration program. Thanks to all those who donated fabric, quilting supplies and six vintage sewing machines! Once that was pretty well in hand, I moved on to other projects in Eight.
I designed the storage units and helped construct "The Storehouse," a room on the ground floor with built-in shelves for women and children's clothing and household goods. With the help of others, we went from bare concrete block walls to four rooms and a stairway to a second floor apartment and the third floor Creative Arts Center. Besides the Storehouse, the other ground floor rooms will be for counseling, laundry and a handicap restroom.
Chuck and I only go out a couple of times a week, so work has progressed slowly. Finish work is very exacting and takes much longer than one would expect. We are finally nearing completion of these rooms. Clothing and goods have been sorted by size and packed into labeled tote boxes and stored in the the Storehouse shelves, the first room to be completed. All the other walls in the rest of the ground floor have been drywalled, electrical systems installed, and now we are sanding the last layer of drywall compound in preparation for paint. The laundry room for the apartment is operating now, too. We hope to paint all the walls and floors in the next few weeks, then clean up the construction debris. Whew! Almost a year to do that!
Over the summer, Wing Haven had three women who fled seriously abusive relationships. They came to the beautiful campus to rest, recover, and learn the skills needed to start a new life. The ladies have left now, we hope to live and raise their children free of abuse. As originally designed, the Wing Haven program provided safe housing, job training, counseling for the Mom and children, and a special children's development program to help heal the damage of witnessing domestic violence.
Unfortunately, given the economy, financial donations were not sufficient to continue the original program, so Wing Haven is going in a different direction. We are now offering counseling for individuals and families in the area, as well as it's newest venture, a special program called "Confident Kids" for pre-school aged children. "CK" teaches 4 and 5 year olds to understand and accept their God-given emotions, learn how to talk about them, and how to cope with life's experiences in a positive way.
I am one of the volunteers, performing various modern puppet character roles and sometimes the part of David, the Old Testament shepherd king who is still considered Israel's greatest poet.
David's poems, recorded in the book of Psalms, reveal fear, anger, joy, satisfaction, confusion and worship. He is a wonderful role model for the children, who are learning that all their emotions are OK, even if some are not fun to feel.
Besides the Bible story, there is also a puppet skit for Circle Time, which features modern kids dealing with various experiences that bring feelings of woundedness, excitement, fear and confusion. My puppet team from Pathway Community Church came over to my house a week ago and we videotaped three weeks' worth of Circle Time and David skits. Luckily, our puppet ministry is blessed with many puppets and costumes.
This was our first time to film our puppet plays "for the public," and we borrowed my daughter's digital video camera! What a difference from our previous videotaping experience with the older technology! We have lots to learn from the technical viewpoint of camera placement, etc. My puppet team did very well, considering this was the first time they saw the scripts, and we just ran through the plays a few times before filming. In four hours, we filmed five plays to be shown the first three weeks of Confident Kids, with four more plays to go in the "All Your Feelings Are OK" unit.
My newest venture into puppetry is Jewel T. Cassidy. (T stands for Trouble.) In a small way, I have started doing interactive puppetry, without a stage, just me, the puppet and the kids. I make no attempt to use ventriloquism when Jewel and I talk. Instead, I look at her as I alternate voices and give her various body movements to keep the kid's attention on her by bringing her to life. Jewel is a Folkmanis full-body puppet with a hand opening in the back of her neck. She sits on my lap, sometimes at a table to color, play with toys or use other props.
In contrast to the wide-mouth puppets I usually use, Jewel has a soft cloth mouth that allows more natural lip movement. This type of construction is most useful at a close range to the audience. She also has arms that allow me to insert my hands, so she can pick up things, wiggle her fingers, even pick her nose! That last trick came in handy the first time we went to my grandson Garrett's pre-school to teach them about covering your cough/sneeze and proper hand washing.
Each month, the teachers suggest a topic–sharing instead of hitting, bringing food for a food drive, etc, and it has worked out very well. The kids watch intently and are very vocal when Jewel talks to them, asks them questions, or shares a new version of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."
In the picture above, Jewel is sitting in a cardboard box that I plan to make into a quilted carrying case. She is holding a picture of the "Crown of the Land of Sun and Smiles," a prop that I use to symbolize when the kids add jewels representing acts of kindly behavior. On the back of this prop is the dreaded "Crown of the Land of Mud and Tears," which Jewel often decorates when she behaves unkindly or selfishly. Luckily, she much prefers the former, but before changing her behavior, she generally gets into trouble. Hence, her middle name!
There is also a basket of canned foods and a card that says, "Jewel T. Cassidy says, 'Share What You Have.'" Each time we go, I prepare a similar card with Jewel's picture and the learning points of the visit. This month's lesson was requested by the pre-school teachers because February is the month that the children can take part in a food drive. We will present it tomorrow to Garrett's class, and sometime next week to the younger class.
Interactive puppetry is a natural for helping children deal with the frightening things that go on when they are sick. See "Bernard, the Hospital Puppet" here: http://www.hospitalpuppet.com/index.htm. Look for the video link down toward the bottom of the page. This was my first introduction to interactive puppetry. What an amazing personality Bernard has! Someday, I hope to be as skilled and effective as Diana Chiles, the "heart" of Bernard.
I had a chance to use Jewel in a similar fashion when Garrett's younger brother, Quentin, was in the hospital with pneumonia. That little 2 year old fought the medical staff like a tiger! When he was first admitted, it took two nurses and his dad to hold him down for his IV! And every time the nurses had to take his blood pressure or his blood oxygen, more drama.
I made some medical equipment props (blood pressure cuff, blood oxygen meter, stethoscope) and Jewel and I showed up in his room, only to find him asleep. So Garrett played doctor with Jewel, trying out the equipment. Of course, Jewel was the drama queen, "Ow! Ow! OW!" when he pumped up the blood pressure cuff. Garrett broke out laughing every time he did it. Eventually, Quentin woke up, and Garrett, Jewel and I went through the procedures. More laughter, even a little snort from Quentin.
Q came to visit me at home a few days after he was discharged. He headed straight to Jewel, who was sitting in her rocking chair, and brought her to me, along with the medical props. Then he played doctor, telling Jewel that the blood pressure cuff "only huts a widdle while!"

Religious leaders in the country have been enjoined to intensify prayers to address security challenges confronting the nation.
General Evangelist Motailatu Church Cherubim and Sera-phin Worldwide, His Eminen-ce, Prof. Joseph Otubu, maintained that intensity of prayer should be applied by the various faiths as a potent weapon to checkmate the Boko Harram insurgency and other security issues wrecking serious havoc in our country.
Speaking at the adoption thanksgiving service of the Motailatu Church in Lagos tagged 'A celebration of Spiritual Rebirth; The Future of Aladura Churches', the professor of obstetrics and gynaecology said churches have the responsibility to continue to preach peace and justice for the well being of the nation.
The cleric admonished the Church to show love to one another as Christ had exemplified, and endeavor to make provision for the poor.
He noted that the major problem confronting the nation is poverty, and as such, the church must address it squarely by providing for the less privileged in their midst.
The religious leader enjoined the faithful across the religious divide to love one another as a way of promoting togetherness and rancour-free society.
According to him, we should learn to forgive one another to avoid continuous chaos in our nation, making reference to the late South African leader, Dr. Nelson Mandela as a classic example of how to forgive.

CommentAdd a Comment
I loved this book. I couldn't put it down. Eleanor is a heart-breaking character whose life is changed by a random incident. It's a gentle and insightful look at difficult psychological issues and the ways that our lives can be made better in small, but significant ways. Amazing job by a first time author.
Beautifully told story by Ms Honeyman. It seemed a little quirky at first but I was hooked w/in a short time. Eleanor is a complicated person by a horrific past. What a joy to follow her journey as learns about herself, learns about people and life. I think Eleanor Will be "Fine" and even better still.
I loved this book. I wasn't sure in the beginning where it was going, but it hooked me and I kept on reading. I love Eleanor and I'm so glad she found her happy ending despite all the horrible trauma she encountered as a child.
A very enjoyable read!
This started slow for me but I stuck with it and wound up loving it. But don't go in to it expecting it to be funny as the cover states, unless you like your humor pretty dark. To me it was a story about what makes us human, with all of our foibles and strange social customs. Elinor is hard to like at first but becomes more engaging as she gradually opens up to Raymond and to experiencing life.
A slow start, but I'm glad I stuck with it. This book was funny, in a droll, dry way, even though it was ultimately a tragic story. It was well worth reading.
Brilliantly funny wrapped up in a bit of a heartache. What a fun read, this story had me laughing out loud at moments and pulling on my heart strings the next. Eleanor being a bit of an outcast herself is great fun, wonderfully blunt and points out innocently how ridiculous some of our social norms are! I enjoyed this book immensely!
I laughed out loud and cried out loud. I was totally charmed by the characters (all except Mummy, of course.) It left me wanting more. GREAT read!
I found this book to be completely endearing and often laugh out loud funny. The voice of Eleanor, although quirky and unique was also very relatable.
Eleanor is a character to cheer for.

SummaryAdd a Summary
Meet Eleanor Oliphant. A socially awkward 29-year old who works in the finance department as a clerk in a small graphics firm in Scotland. She is literal to a fault and tends to say exactly what she's thinking. She is completely unfazed by office gossip, and takes comfort in avoiding social interactions. Eleanor lives alone and spends her weekends eating frozen pizza, drinking vodka and making calls to Mummy. According to Eleanor, she is completely fine, thank you very much!
Except maybe she isn't.
Everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond the new IT guy. Together they come to the aid of Sammy – an older man who they witness collapse in the street. The three become friends who rescue one another from the isolation each of them has been living. With the help of the two men, Eleanor begins to experience her world for the first time with a fresh perspective, and she slowly begins to come out of her shell as they help her to confront the terrible secrets of her past that she has fastidiously kept hidden away.
Debut author Gail Honeyman writes a heartwarming, funny and poignant novel that despite its light-hearted tone does not shy away from its more serious issues. It is a story written with depth, originality and well-developed characters. Readers will enjoy getting to know and rooting for Eleanor, as she navigates a world that was once familiar to her, which has become entirely new. This novel is perfect for those who've previously enjoyed titles such as "The Rosie Project" and "A Man Called Ove".

One hundred professional installer contractors and retailers were polled to find out the top features and benefits that pond products need to have to be successful. These features contribute to the friendliest, easiest to install, longest lasting products available for pond construction and maintenance.
Products That Blend In
To give your water garden the most natural look, use pond equipment that blends in easily with the landscaping. Some waterfall boxes come with a landscape lid that can be rocked or mulched over, or planted with live plants. Without a landscape lid, you'll be looking straight at a black plastic box at the top of your falls. Some pond skimmers also offer a natural stone faux lid to blend in naturally with the surroundings vs. a black lid that sticks out.
Prevent distortion
Low-quality waterfall boxes and pond skimmers will get distorted over time from the dirt compacted around it. This can make it difficult or impossible to fit the net and mat (filtration media) back inside the filter. Worse yet, if the filter is distorted the lid might not fit back onto the filter at all. Look for products that are made from thick, high quality materials and are engineered with gussets and ribs to provide structural support that prevents distortion.

Today I thought I'd share a poem I wrote a while ago when I was pondering the meaning of true love. It came from a time of confusion and despair when I couldn't understand why certain things happen in life. Whether that's the disappointment of a love lost, shattered dreams, broken promises, whatever it may be, there is something in the human spirit that yearns for love – to be loved and to love. When promises are broken and life happens, it can leave us feeling dejected and perhaps rejected, without hope and excruciatingly disappointed. But maybe, just maybe…the kind of love we long and hope for isn't real love? Maybe we've confused the fairy tale love and romance of Hollywood and Disney movies for real love, pining for the happily ever after story.
I've learned that romance movies grasps for a utopia that does not exist in reality. The perfect state, the perfect marriage, the perfect relationship. Isn't that what we all want? But when reality sets in, we're left confused because the outcome of reality never mirrors the art we've come to imbibe.
So as I pondered what true love means to me, this is what came to mind…
One of a kind love
I know a man
A humble king, yet servant man
His love is one of a kind
The kind with no boundaries
No conditions, no ultimatums
Pure and simple
Compassionate and all encompassing
The King's love
The Savior's love
Redeeming all
Available to all
One that makes rich
And adds no sorrows with it
One of a kind love.
See, I've tasted the other kind of love
The one that leaves you bewildered
Exhilarating, yet debilitating
Hot today, cold tomorrow
Ambiguous love
Love that is happy yet sad
At times joyful
yet sorrowful
Is this it?
How can this be?
When the first love I've known
Tells me a different story.
Sometimes it takes one
to truly know the other
One of a kind love.
I know what it's like
I know what it's like
To be in the kind of love that never fails.
Love that won't leave tears of sadness
On your pillow at night
But leaves you feeling right
Love that wraps you in its warm embrace
So you can find solace.
Overwhelmed by the sense of acceptance
Love like no other kind!
Love that brings kindness to life
Delighting all inside.
Only one has walked this earth and truly loved
Do you know His name?
His love, is one of a kind.

Welcome to Pitching.com › Forums › The Beginning › The Hangout For Parents › Do you want to be right or have your son not play?
Y'all, After reading my previous post, it comes off as harsh. What I was wanting to say is make sure your son knows the right way to condition himself and if something is missing from the program add it in. Additionally, it may help now that you know how to do video analysis of your son's pitching mechanics but the ultimate goal is to have him be able to do it by himself. Eventually, he'll be able to make the adjustments. Hopefully, he'll be able to recognize during a game or bullpen what is wrong and make the corrections on the fly. I'm not trying to bite the hand that feeds me, just saying that as your son progresses, he's the one that needs to recognize problems and make corrections. Cal
These discussions are interesting to read. This is my first experience in the forum world, but find myself at the same point many of you are at with some exception. I have been coaching my sons team ( travel and in house) for 7 years. I played high school baseball, but not college or professionally( my father played low A minor league ball). I realized when I started coaching that playing and coaching were very different. I dont buy into the concept that I played so I know more than you, concept. That just means you were good at one time, but has no reflection on being good now and being able to transfer the information successfully. The reason why I have purchased most of the material from Coach Mills, been to a personal training session at his place in beautiful Scottsdale with my then 11 year old son(1 year ago) and recently became a member of the insiders after two plus years of watching from the outside is one reason only. It is not because Coach Mills pitched in the big leagues or that Ryan was so successful. That is cool stuff and may provide some great insight, but honestly it boils down to one main item, they are "dead on" in their model!!!!! I spent two years obsessively researching pitching as my son started playing and I coaching, "kid pitch" I worked through (not used- just looked at and started shooting holes in them) all of the training concepts. Everyone in this group did or you wouldnt be here. I find myself in this position because after 4 very enjoyable, successful years of coaching my sons travel team( pitched 11 kids and had no arm injuries- need more proof?). I realized privately while coaching our team in Cooperstown ( one of the greatest memories I will never forget) that it was time to focus on my son only. Which meant we would have to tryout for one of the teams in our area. This is where my interest in this forum gets real. I have had some interesting discussions as you can imagine, in the past two months. I realized why I was coaching a team, but have made it firm that I will not again. I want to focus on my son!!! My son is fortunate to have shown well at the tryouts and been asked to play for all the local options. The right vs. playing time question, I now find myself playing out. I know that many in the area know that we had a very successful program, so I get some regard from most of the coaches and programs, when the discussion about my son begins. I would guess half the teams are volunteer coaches, the other half are paid to some degree. I really havent found an advantage either way. All are pretty average, but I dont want to coach a team so I will focus on the best option. We do have a start up academy in the area, which is where I am currently leaning, however, they have the parents need to let us do our job thought process as well, with most parents. I have made my thoughts clear on that approach in a very respectable manner. I made the comment that they must not be very good because they dont charge much. They tout, this guy played here, and this guy there, etc… I just asked, what does that have to do with coaching youth? I think because they are truly getting started it resonated a little and I am constantly asked my thoughts on things, in a general sense. I am not choosing this as our lead option because they are asking my opinion, they actually know about Coach Mills program and like it. They dont like long toss, weighted anything, they believe in pitching off mounds and are preparing the academy with video for everything not just pitching. On the surface it is headed in the right direction.Well see?? One point I dont believe that was made before now in the forum is this. If your boy is not in high school yet, why cant the general philosophical discussion take place? Do this before you committ to the team. I dont believe as a coach or parent in the wood pecker concept (continual questioning) in communication. I do believe you are within your right to discuss and question someone who has the control of potential injury and development within their scope at any age. This is not a playing time discussion and does not occur at the event, always allow 24 + hrs as a cooling off period for all parties. As a coach, I worried about 11 boys and having to address 1 situation right after will never end well. We had one parent engagement at a tournament about playing time in one game and even though the dad was a friend I thought much less of him after, for the manner in which he handled it. I was fortunate as a coach, no parent was at the level the 3 coaches were in preparation so we were honestly never questioned, except on playing time and we kept detail on every kid. I expect that of other folks coaching and that is where I have been disappointed so far. It gets a little touchier as they get in high school. Most parents should let their children communicate with the coach, just as they would with a teacher on day to day items. The philosophical stuff is where parents need to be engaged. I am on the local high school board and the reason many coaches tune parents out is that many parents try to handle items their kids should learn to handle. Like I said the philosphical items, training, injury prevention, rest, those are philosphical. Pitching produces injuries frequently and I ask how, they manage against those in their training and game readiness? That question is very non threatening in my mind. It allows you to discuss their philosophy. Do this in the fall, discuss it with the coaches during a non threatening time of year. Interestingly most do what they hear, not what they have seen results from or spent much time researching. I will state as a high school board member and relatively in tune with who the coaches are, I have these discussions. In my role they have to listen to me. It is my opinion, most high school coaches (not all) are what I would consider to be very average in philosophical development. Additionally, only some want to discuss it at all. They view parents as an adversary. If someone were to ask me how to discuss items with this model of coach I would recomend the candy vs. stick approach. Do so when they dont believe someting is on the line. Non urgent time of year, fall ball, after the season is over, etc…I do believe research based philosophy is a great backstop to have in the discussion. Finally, if you as a parent arent happy with the philosphy of the coaches and it is damaging to your son, move on. In pre high school move on now. In High School, just remember a high school coach was never fired because he employs long toss as a training model. My son is not there yet so I look forward to reading how folks handle these situations. I am fired up about working with my own son only and cant wait to see what develops. One item that all the coaches repeated when he was trying out was this, "kid throws hard!! I said to him and myself, "Hes not even throwing hard yet", he broke his wrist badly last year and lost his fitness and sharpness. I will be the first to say the off season training program from Coach Mills works, we did it last off season along with swimming/water polo and he was very ready. We start in a few weeks again.
I can relate and posted some comments in the injury thread with my questions about the First-Pitch Strike Warm up and Recovery Program. My son is 12 and has played USSSA for 'daddy-ball' coaches for four years. A common theme seems to be the chord Matheny struck in his open letter about youth sports. We are the coaches and you should turn your kids over to us. No contact, no involvement with your son. The last three teams he played for have had rules dictating this. No advice, suggestions, recommendations are welcome. This is usually stated by the coaches as being what is necessary to prepare your son for high school baseball. My question is always, "and who is preparing your son?" The coaches sons, who often seemed to be among the best players on the team when I grew up don't seem to fit that mold anymore. It seems the coaches are now most likely there to protect their son or surround him with better players to insure they are on a "good team". They demand complete control and loathe the parents who are *invested* in their sons (although they welcome the higher level of hitting/fielding/pitching they bring). I echo the earlier poster who noted their desire to meddle with your son while their own son is seriously deficient in even basic baseball skills. I believe it is an attempt to have some part in the success your son achieves. My philosophy is you can teach my son how you want him to play bunt defense, how the team handles cutoff responsibilities, etc., but he already has Division I coaches he has been working with for five years for hitting, fielding, and pitching. I am invested in what he learns and who he learns it from. He doesn't need skills advice. He has always been one of the best players on his teams while also playing up. And this is without benefit of being a big boy, simply more physically mature than the others. We attended high school baseball camp last year to 'get on the coaches radar'. The coach is a 2-time state champion who was inducted into the states hall of fame this year. On day one, while taking some dry swings in preparation of taking BP, the HS coach asked my son what he was doing. "You can't hit like that son!" Apparently, my sons open stance was a non-starter. "You'll never be able to hit a fastball son!" Sadly, the coach can't separate swing mechanics from pre-swing "style". At the HS feeder team meeting this year the HS coach proclaimed baseball lessons "unnecessary". "Just get out there and throw a ball against a wall" was his advice. Again, this is a state HOF coach. Despite railing against parents whose sons take lessons, my son was invited to the team as the only under age player… with an advanced personal phone call. My son attends private school and has an available option to play for the private HS as well. My son learned to hit from Jay Ward whom Coach Mills may have known and to this day he still uses Jay's system of hitting. Jay had a brief stint in the Majors, was an accomplished minor league manager, served as hitting coach for the Yankees under Lou Piniella, and ran a hitting school in Florida with Wade Boggs. Would you put your faith in the HS coach whose philosophy is to either bunt or hit the ball into the dirt and then run or Jay Ward? The landscape is littered with dads and coaches who have very little knowledge. Ego seems to drive their closed-mindedness. They know what they know and they don't want to know any more. They know what is best. Mike Matheny and the media have armed them with the ammunition that the parents are all that is wrong with youth sports. Make no mistake, bad parents are certainly playing their part in what's wrong. But youth sports seems to be an area where knowledge is NOT king. Coaches/Dad Coaches are not to be questioned nor enlightened. Making certain your son is the best player on the team and having other options seem to be the only antidotes that have a chance of working.
For me, my son has been pitching for 2 years and is just 10 years old. Even so, he has been playing baseball, like most of our kids, since T-ball. When I was young, I was a big student of the game. I respected the importance of mechanics and proper technique in all aspects of the game and focused heavily on doing things right. When my son started playing ball, I would give him instruction that focused on developing proper mechanics. Granted, this is proper mechanics as I was taught and understood them to be. What I found out over time was that I had been taught fairly well. Sure, there are some techniques today that I was taught that are not considered as important or critical these days but, in all, I was lucky enough to learn a solid foundation. In respect to volunteer coaches in your local little league or Cal Ripken, Jr. league, I try to be as understanding, respectful, and patient regarding the good, bad, and ugly of what some of them try to teach our kids. I am not trying to make excuses for a person complete ignorance or unwillingness to even take the time to learn the fundamentals of the limited coaching materials they given, but I know that I must take into account that, right or wrong in their instruction of my son, incorrect instruction is not generally intentional and is born out of just a sheer lack of knowledge. In the end, the individuals coaching our children are people who genuinely just wanted to help by volunteering their time and, often times, money, to work with our kids. That said, just like everyone else, we all run into plenty of coaches, volunteer or paid, that just aren..t very good or knowledgeable at teaching the fundamentals of baseball, much less the fundamentals of pitching or specialty position play. What I tell my son is this….First, I am the final word on everything baseball when it comes to fundamentals. It does not matter if the coach is volunteer or paid or even hired by me to give private lessons. If a coach teach proper fundamentals, i reinforce those lessons and specifics with my son and let him know that he can proceed with doing what the coach is telling him to do in regards to that particular instruction. If I do not agree with any particular instruction from a volunteer coach, I will either take the time to speak with the coach about such instruction, not necessarily to tell him he is wrong but to ask him to better explain his reasoning for the instruction. If after this discussion, and sometimes some research of my own, I deem his instruction to be invalid, I tell my son to ignore it and proceed to give him what I have determined is the correct instruction. If I deem his instruction to be valid, I instruct my son to follow the coach..s teaching. If I have a coach that is trying to teach my son incorrectly and my son already knows that what the coach is saying is not correct, I tell my son to respectfully listen to his coach and then just go back to doing that particular skill in the proper way as he has already been taught. For any private instructor that I am paying for, if I see them teaching something that I believe is wrong or that I don..t think makes sense, I immediately stop the instruction, politely and respectfully though, and ask the instructor to explain his teaching. In the end, as a parent, it is likely that you have far more influence on your child than their coaches do. So, do your homework, soak up as much knowledge from those you respect as professionals in their trade, and be open to new ideas. None of us know everything about anything and you can..t let yourself get frustrated over bad coaching or coaches…there will always be good and bad coaches or teachers in your child..s life and you must teach your children how to think for themselves and deal with these variables that will exist throughout their entire lives….this is why I love sports…they teach you so much about how to interact with people and life, in general….I leave you with this summation….teach your children to respect people while continually challenging and testing the ideas they profess….seek the Truth in all things…and treat others as you..d like to be treated…none of us are perfect or right all of the time so keep your own flaws and boneheaded mistakes of the past in mind before your lash out at others….these are all values that are beneficial to a civil society…

Irony we much: Al Sharpton's daughter suing NYC for roughly the amount her dad owes in taxes
**Written by Doug Powers
Al Sharpton must be pleased to know that the family business is in capable hands… and feet:
Al Sharpton's daughter reportedly is suing New York City for $5 million after she fell in the street and sprained her ankle.
According to the New York Post, Dominique Sharpton, 28, says in court records she was "severely injured, bruised and wounded" after tripping on uneven pavement in downtown Manhattan in October.
Sharpton says she still suffers from the injury, the Post reported.
Sharpton's daughter's claims of a severely injured ankle were subsequently disproved by… Sharpton's daughter — but obviously you don't need to be on two totally healthy legs to attempt a shakedown.
NYC should counter-sue Sharpton's daughter by arguing that the city would have been able to afford to repair the crack she supposedly tripped over if her father would have paid his taxes.

mage21 posted a topic in Off-TopicGDKP. -for a raiding guild (TLDR included) Ever heard about it? Once you kill a raidboss, he will drop item "X", everyone that is interested in "X" will then bet with ingame Gold. The highest bidder takes home "X". Once all 40 mothers tell their sons to go to bed, they simply take the total gold pot and divide it with the number of raidmembers. (You will need some sort of rules however, like Mainspec > Offspec. Tierpieces will always start at X gold even if only one member needs it) (You could have a 5% go to the guildbank, so you can found the Dark Iron set pieces for example) With that out of the way, let me introduce myself. Ive been playing on patch 1.12 since 2011 back on peenix. I have experiensed what happens to a game that stops progressing, people take breaks, guilds merge ect. And if you played in a DKP guild, all your hardearned Points are lost. The rep you earned within your Lootcouncil is gone. The GDKP system was really popular within the PUG scene (Max geared people boost wealthy alts to gain gold) but i have never seen nor used it in a guild format. I been thinking alot about it lately, and i can see more Pros then cons tbh. When you have gold=epics you will most likely see more activity within the guild, people farming herbs and 5mans as much as they can. The gold never leaves the guild, you will start building that snowball and once you hit AQ / Naxx content, you will have a very wealthy guild that can keep up with all the insance consumable costs. And if someone desides to take a break for ½ a year, well he will log-in guildless, but still having all that saved DKP in hes Bag. Would you play in a guild that was using GDKP? Please come with ideas and rules to improve to this theory, or rather let us know why you think this wouldnt work. Compare it with DKP ect! TLDR: What are your thoughts about using GDKP (Gold as DKP within your guild) as the betting tool on loot. Once you are done with the raid the goldpot is split /40. Giving all players their reward for raiding, in a currency that works outside of your guild aswell. Would you play in a guild that was using GDKP?
Topdps posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsHi, I have a few questions/suggestions and thought I might summarize them in one post instead of making one topic for each. So here we go: 1. Will you allow GDKP raids? And in that case, what will the split limit be at? For example, will you allow 95% split, 90% split, 80% split or where will you draw the line? 2. What will the weapon skill cap be on CF? Will you follow Athan's formula? 3. I've looked a lot for rules against multiboxing and have read your stance on it in the "policy on multiboxing"-thread and other places. But I couldn't find a very clear cut answer except for that you will only be allowed 2 accounts per IP. So I'll ask a couple specific questions to find out more about it: If I play with 2 characters in a guild raid and alt tab between them (so no 3rd party program), is that allowed? Or if I raid with one character and have the other one doing farming / mailing goods / whatever, will that be allowed? Or is having two of your accounts logged in at the same time automatically against the server rules assuming that you are the one playing on them? 4. The Demonology talent tree for Warlocks has a talent called "Demonic Sacrifice" which allows you to sacrifice your demon for a certain buff. This buff lasts for 30min or until you summon a new demon, but is not removed when you respec. This makes it possible to spec into that talent, sacrifice a pet to gain the buff and then respec and spend all your 51 talent points into the Affliction and Destruction trees. This way you can (basically) raid with all three talent trees and do 10-15% increased damage of what you otherwise would be able to do. Since the buff only lasts 30min and costs 2 respecs to get it's extremely expensive but possible nonetheless. From all the people I've talked to this is not just a bug on private servers but actually how it worked in Retail wow, but was most likely a bug that Blizzard just overlooked. I'm wondering if you will let this exploit be possible (which would technically be blizzlike) or if you will have the buff disappear when you respec? 5. I read the 11/14/2016 developer update and have a suggestion: Is it possible for you guys to have a thread/page where everybody can see all the proc rates? Just like a list of what proc rates you decide to implement. There are tons of proc rates I'd like to know and making them public would be very appreciated. (examples: Vis'Kag proc rate, Rogue tier 3 8/9 proc rate, etc). 6. Last question: I've been trying to find out the answer to this question for a while but can't find anybody provide any proof for it (just a lot of different opinions being thrown around by lots of people). We all know that hit and crit roll happens at the same time for melee attacks, but I'm wondering how it works for spellcasts. If you have a 90% chance to hit a spell and 10% chance to crit, will you actually crit 10% of your spells or just 9%? The only retail source I could find about this is an old post from elitistjerks forum where one person explained that the answer to my question would be 10% (that it works just like for melee attacks), and that the second roll for spells is simply a resistance roll. The thread is unfortunately gone (I have a screenshot of that comment though), but that's all the proof I could find, and I'd love to hear from a developer how this actually works (and if there is a difference between mangos, other emulators and retail). Thanks in advance.

Centinela Hospital Medical Center in Inglewood has been a key healthcare provider to nearby residents for nearly a century. Now some patients and activists in South Los Angeles worry that recent cuts and other changes are diminishing its role in the community.
Since taking over the hospital late last year, its new owner has shuttered departments, laid off 13% of its 1,700 staffers and canceled most private insurance contracts, hospital officials say. As a result, many residents say they've had to seek treatment elsewhere.
Victorville-based Prime Healthcare Services Inc. said that it made the changes to keep the medical center financially viable and that access to healthcare in the Inglewood area had not suffered.
State data show that Centinela has been unprofitable for years. The hospital's previous owner considered closing the facility in the fall, before Prime bought it sight unseen.

autoxportusa.com - Making Porsche Boxster to be a sporty roadster that is different from others because engined roadster middle. In addition, the Boxster also succeeded in completing many tasks, namely to save Porsche from bankruptcy and indicate that Porsche with the most friendly and still uphold the identity of the horse Stuttgart as cars made with precision, fun to drive, qualified and holds the prestige of a Porsche.
Indeed, every year Porsche Boxster into a purse money of Porsche, but that does not mean Porsche told his accountant to lead the making of this car. Formula proper form boxer engine, mid-engine machine alias middle, roadster form and compact body really makes the Boxster have a class. At present, the Boxster is already not the backbone of Porsche's sales again, because it has been replaced by Cayenne and Macan.
After three generations in circulation, it is time Porsche 718 Boxster proved that he was worthy to welcome new enthusiasts curious about the value of a Porsche sports car. Still carrying the chassis code 981, but now there is the addition of 718 names in front of the Boxster. Porsche says, they want to revive the name Porsche 718, the legendary race car flat-4 engine developed from the base Porsche 550.
Smart also, remember if you know the new Boxster engine 718 is now the flat-4, instead of the flat-6 as the old, Porsche fans will surely sing and say "It's ruined!" If his name is still Boxster. To that end, pinned the name of that method downsizing Porsche 718 at Boxster is not considered as a step resigned to meet the demands of emissions and efficiency, but there is an element of history as well. FYI, Porsche fans including fans of the most stubborn in the world.
Need a sharp eye to distinguish eagle Porsche 718 Boxster and Porsche Boxster legacy at a glance. To set it apart, put his hands behind his back, move close to the car and bend over a little. Porsche new signature LED DRL in the form of 4 points in the headlights now embedded in the headlights, and LED's 4 point first found on one of the members of The Holy Trinity: Porsche 918 Spyder.
Play the turn signal or hazard, then the LED DRL was automatically becomes a turn signal, they expertly combine the two functions in one package. LED lights on the front has an adaptive function that can follow the direction of the steering wheel and illuminates the targeted area in the direction berbeloknya car. Rim 20 inch wheel rims can be replaced with an optional Y-Spoke more sporty if you are interested, just add a little cost when ordering this roadster.
Judging from anywhere, this car really does not look great. Dimensions itself is not large, so do not worry too much when the car is parked.
Air holes on either side is the entrance to the air, so that 350 horses who sits in the middle of the car does not overheat and cause trouble. Uh, 350 horses? Yes, because this is what we are trying Porsche 718 Boxster S, Boxster is not unusual, because it is at full version.
From first appeared, Porsche Boxster always wear canvas roof, including 718 Boxster S's. Now, the roof can be opened and closed when the car is running, but do not exceed 50 km / h. The process itself is quite fast, only about 14 seconds, the motor pelipatnya not noisy and can be opened and closed via remote.
Canvas roof did have the impression of classic and traditionally very strong, but he is also more vulnerable if there are ignorant hands that hold sharp objects near this Boxster.
The back of the Porsche 718 Boxster S are sexy when viewed, but still less exotic when compared with its big bro, the Porsche 911. But it was not Porsche's name if his attention to detail is not as tall as Burj Khalifa.
LED taillights bar decorated with a beautiful design, cool to be seen from far and near. Both taillights associated with black accents that became perch words "Porsche" and the rear spoiler.
This spoiler will go up automatically if the 718 Boxster S reach speeds high enough, so that increases downforce and stability maintained.
However, if the rider wants, there is a button in the cabin that could make this spoiler rise and fall according to his will. Thanks to the Sports Chrono package, he got a twin exhaust which besides clicking improve the sound, the appearance was lifted. Yes, because the standard exhaust port 718 Boxster looks like a smartphone charger.
With the Sports Chrono package too, meaning we can Flaps (valves) can change his voice. When in normal mode, the valve will close and make his voice more calm, so it will not create the atmosphere of the residence where you live so noisy.
When activating the sport or sport plus mode, the valve will open and his voice louder. This mode is most delicious when used on highways or circuits.
Interior Porsche 718 Porsche Boxster S is like in general. His position is very spot-on, as if to invite direct drive and forget about anything else. I also wanted so, but for those consumers who want a gimmick, let them know there is anything in this roadster.
At the circumference of the wheel on the right side, there is the play button to choose between the modes Normal, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual. In the middle there is a Sport button Response.
Just like the Porsche 911, the car will provide extra performance for 20 seconds if the button was pressed. These buttons are present if you buy the Sports Chrono package, just like an analog clock in the center of the dashboard.
Not only as a timepiece, it could also serve as a lap timer when you play on the circuit. On the instrument panel Porsche 718 Boxster S, a large circle in the middle is the tachometer and the speedometer on the left and the LCD screen with a myriad of information on the right.
This screen can display the drive mode selection, engine temperature, residual fuel and mileage, indicator folding roof, launch control and much more.
If you want to play the manual mode of PDK her, there are two options: use paddleshift on the steering column or tiptronik by playing the transmission lever. PDK lever near her, neatly arranged buttons digital air conditioning with dual zone climate control and auto. Oh yes, consumers can order a manual transmission version if indeed interest.
Infotainment system Porsche 718 Boxster S now supports the operation of the touch screen with multi-touch, such as smartphones.
For iPhone users, you can take advantage of Apple CarPlay which has become a standard in this car. Staying connected with a cable, put your iPhone and enjoy Apple CarPlay luggage. In addition, other kinds of navigational facilities already supported Google Street can show you where the solid or empty.
The same audio quality as the quality workmanship of the interior: The class bully. Hearing the song can be from a USB or Bluetooth connection.
Look around the lever PDK again, there is a button to open and close the roof, a button PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), PSM (Porsche Stability Management), rear spoiler as well as a button for the electric parking brake. Some parts in the car is nothing common with parts of other brands of the VW Group.
For passengers, provided glove box with an adequate size and 2 pieces of large cup holders are a small-diameter circumference can be adjusted to place your drink. Unfortunately, the car's center console box is rather small.
Behind the second seat, there is a small hanger to hang the hanger prepare your extra clothes, if at any time you need to bring a change of clothes because they have to attend more than one event.
For the average person Indonesia, there is no problem with the cabin space. You will really feel the car is narrow only if your body is fairly bongsor. Baggage, too, with a rear luggage capacity of 150 liters, it is still enough to bring backpacks or shopping, and here we can also see the lid to refill fluid lines needed this car, for example, the radiator cap and oil cap.
But if your partner had just finished shopping branded goods at discount prices in large quantities to the rear trunk is full, do not fight in the parking lot to call attention if the goods you also need storage. There is still a front trunk with a capacity of 125 liters that is functional and practical, so that it can avoid arguments between couples. Opening the front or rear trunk can be remote or the button on the lower right side of the driver.
Porsche 718 Boxster S engine conforming to 2,500 cc 4-cylinder boxer turbo with maximum power of 350 hp and torque of 420 Nm. Power and torque are stored in the middle of the car was channeled to the rear wheels via a dual clutch transmission that has a 7-speed PDK. To tame all earlier power, brake discs donated by Porsche 911 Turbo is ready to tame it. Carbon ceramic brake option is available if you are willing to spend more.
Yep, many other components installed in the Porsche 718 Boxster S to save the cost of manufacture. In addition to the Porsche 911 Turbo brakes, steering rack EPS may also belong to the 911 Turbo, while the turbo with variable valve blade to adjust the boost is also taken from the Porsche 911 Boxster S Rear axle 718 was taking possession of the Porsche Cayman GT4. Like a puzzle, yes the process of mix and match his?
But it's all new presentation of data on paper. Whose name the car should be driven over the road and not on paper. So, time to turn the key and car racing is to know his true nature. Turn the key? Yes, Porsche still requires the key inserted into the key slot and then rotated and the car will turn on. Porsche not thought to put the system start-stop button as his brother who is still one roof in the VW Group.
But there is little prop when the engine life. Sound produced unit 2500 cc flat-4 turbo does not sound like the Porsche Boxster 986 or 987 are still powered naturally aspirated flat-six. Makin stepped on the gas pedal, the more his voice sounded nothing like the Porsche Boxster as we know it. I did not say the sound bad, just that I'm not sure I want to hear a sound like a racehorse in Stuttgart.
But I thought, maybe when driven on the road there will be a difference. Faced with the breakdown of the city during the day, the car did not make a cold sweat when you first took it.
Because of the small car, each end of the car can be mixed in with the good, especially the front. Viewed via side mirrors are still unclear, but looking back via the rearview not so freely. If needed, the rear camera can be activated by a button.
His PDK transmission is smooth and cooperative when I had invited bermacet-congestion. There is absolutely no judder symptoms such as dual clutch transmissions others not so refined. Turbo lag?
It is easier to find a needle in a haystack than to seek for turbo lag in this new machine. If any, must have very, very little. The response was instant as natural and naturally aspirated engines, and thanks to the torque of 420 Nm that is since the round below 2,000 rpm, acceleration is very easy.
How to escape from the current congestion and meet the empty street? Well, here's the new machine showed what he could. When launch control is used and the car is in Sport Plus mode, this small roadster can run from 0-100 in less than 4.5 seconds.
That's quicker than the BMW Z4, Jaguar F-Type V6 Supercharger and Ford Ecoboost Mustang. Boostnya torque and continues to be felt closer to 8,000 rpm redline. Yes, the engine rotation is not as high as the Boxster legacy.
His PDK transmission was spry as we sped it deeply. In D mode, he can change gears very quickly, without a chance we are aware of the transmission gear before I know it replaced. He was very clever, he could skip from tooth 5 to 2 kickdown when we filled the car as fast as lightning. Vice versa, he could skip from tooth 3 to 6 or 7 if he knew we were driving relaxed and in the mood to go for a walk on the motorway. Oh yes, the maximum speed of about 280 km / h.
Suspension? Thanks to the system PASM, the suspension can be adjusted as needed. For day-to-day, it is advisable to Normal mode only, here the suspension will be set with a soft kickback in order to prevent your back pain or back if met curly road. If it finds a favorable situation as smooth asphalt deserted, change to Sport or Sport Plus mode if you want to feel stiff suspension and prevent body roll, the car will be more stable.
But the affairs of soundproofing, noise coming into the cabin still somewhat audible, especially when passing Speedtrap. When stopping at toll booths jammed (again), feels that the auto start-stop system that became standard somewhat less smooth while reviving the engine from the shutdown state. Oh yes, if you stop for a long time, stepped on the brake pedal a bit in the last release foot from the brake pedal, then the Brake Hold feature will be active. To turn it off, just do the same thing.
I wonder what Porsche did on its EPS system, because although the title electrically, the wheel has a steady weight and great feedback from the street into the hands of the rider. Turning to this car was very thrilling, because with a round steering wheel, the car immediately turned in the direction we want. In fact, as if he could read our minds where do we want to turn. This car was made the same engineer or psychic anyway?
Communicative steering and agile cornering ability that only a few words to describe the greatness of handling Porsche 718 Boxster S. Thanks to the boxer engine has a low center of gravity and mid-engine configuration which is very helpful perfect weight distribution -because all the heavy components in the wheelbase - Porsche 718 Boxster S is so obedient to every command us. He could finish the corners with quick, nimble and stable like a go-kart.
But getting gassed, the more I am convinced that the exhaust and engine sound which I hear is not the sound of a Porsche that I know so far. Porsche - especially the 911, Cayman and Boxster - has a distinctive sound that once heard, who knows can instantly guess correctly, "Oh, this character sound a Porsche engine." But the machine flat-4 is really his voice did not sound like a Porsche, but as sound flat-four turbo engine from another car brand.
For a sports car, the sound has an important role as a stimulant for the adrenal driver once the identity of the model itself. With a voice that changes like this, I feel I'm a bit lost essential sensation is quite dominant in the style of Porsche sportscar experience. Again, I do not say bad voice, just less so highlight important sweet spot of a Porsche sports car.
For Porsche fans hard line, they will be concerned about changes to this voice, but for those who just want to know Porsche or those who are not so concerned about the character, history and heritage of Porsche, this may be relatively trivial for them. Well, at least there is a reward in the form of an efficient fuel consumption, because once met a day with a Porsche 718 Boxster S, ranging from jam-congestion, Gaspol, open roof and the roof closed, the fuel consumption on average is still showing a figure of about 13 km / liter in MID.
I am quite sure, from all aspects which we can measure, we calculate, we touch and we perceive with our senses, Porsche 718 Boxster S is much better than the Boxster S long. It looks more typical, more comprehensive facilities, the more neat interior, the engine is the faster, more efficient and its handling is consolidating its position as one of the driver's car that could beat up other sports cars are more expensive and bulky.
But with the loss of two pistons, it makes a noise 718 Boxster S is not so evocative inner usual way Porsche did into us. His appearance was not so dashing or manly compared to ... Say Jaguar F-Type or Ford Ecoboost Mustang is still fierce when viewed. Distinguishes it from the old Boxster was somewhat inconvenient if just saw a flash.
For Porsche fans, do not scratch the wall with tears and lamenting the fate. Berjanjiakan Porsche flat-6 engine carries 3,800 cc naturally aspirated old former Porsche 911 Carrera with claims close to 400 hp power at high performance version of the 718 718 Boxster and Cayman, the Cayman GT4 718 and 718 Boxster Spyder. But usually before it, will appear first GTS version with a 2,500 cc engine turbo flat-4 that has been raised again his ability.

If you're letting out your own house, you have to considering that you simply mortgage by yourself house is normally what residential mortgage and never a buy to allow mortgage. It's ordinarily a dependence on your mortgage loan provider that you simply tell them if you want to book your own property. Bear in mind however, that they're going to choose to change your rate of interest to what buy to allow borrowing rate (normally greater).
Landlords of the vacation home should curently have a buy to allow mortgage (btl).
You will find three primary options when searching to tenant your home:
1) Let yourself, promote your the place to find rent online.
2) Obtain a letting agent to market, LET and MANAGE your home.
3) Obtain a letting agent to locate a tenant but you'll keep it in check!
Renting your house out on your own is usually the most lucrative option. However, this come with much stress, hassle. Being phoned from your tenant at unsociable hrs for repairs and problems might not be ideal to a lot of individuals. It's also essential that you are organised together with your dates and finances, knowing when rent arrives and keeping a record is without having to say vital! Should you choose choose this method, advertise online to find the best results!
Through an agent to market, Let and manage has its own benefits. The agent credit ratings and references potential tenants and will get you house rented! They've the advertising power and also the time for you to spend obtaining the right tenants inside your property. Agents generally cope with all repairs and enquiries from tenants and collect rental payments. Sounds good hey Yes it's…. but they'll expect a tenant finders fee along with a monthly commission of the rented earnings (typically 11%-15%).
Through an agent to simply discover the tenant! This method appears to be really popular for a lot of landlords. The selected letting agent finds appropriate tenants and credit ratings, references them. They slowly move the tenants in and cope with all tenancy contracts. You however, pays the first tenant finders fee and will also be responsible after that for rental collection, maintenance etc.
So as you can tell, all options get their benefits and drawbacks. It's dependent on the owner selecting probably the most appropriate choice for them.
Being an experienced landlord that has had both good and incredibly bad tenant encounters I needed to describe to individuals thinking about as being a landlord what choices are available.
Out of all cases above, I recommend that you simply try advertising your house yourself additionally to the agent. In the end the bottom line is to obtain your empty house rented as soon as possible! For those who have flats to book in Clapham or flats to book working in london I would suggest London2let.com to market your empty property.

Well, I've been to Amsterdam, Haarlem, Zwolle, Utrecht and Rotterdam, but I've never been to the ZUIDER ZEE. John Gosden is in top form and Richard Mullen should steer this son of Sakhee home at York (1.45pm) today. Moving from Holland to the borders of Uruguay and another watery feature RIO DE LA PLATA will be carrying my money come 2.15pm today. Frankie should have a good ride here and can show Rainbow Peak a clean set of shoes and hopefully a blue and white flag will be flying from the York stand. However, by 3.25pm they will have to replace the Uruguayan flag with the STARSPANGELEDBANNER. Aiden O'Brien's charge will be difficult to beat today (York 3.25pm) and 9/4 with Paddy Power looks a magnificent price, especially with his high draw.
