Salerno Duane Service Appointment Salerno Duane Service Coupons
Our Salerno Duane Summit Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership in NJ would like to remind our drivers why it is important along the way to check your brakes. We suggest that you have your vehicle's brakes inspected to ensure that they are performing at their best. Let our Salerno Duane Summit dealer show you why brake maintenance is important for your safety.
Friction from the brakes functioning causes heat and dust – as the brake pads wear brake performance diminishes and heat can damage your bakes. Normally brake system and fluids are checked each time your vehicle has an oil change. Normal Stop & Go driving as well as driving on dirt and gravel roads take a toll on your brakes.
Salerno Duane Summit Tips for Extended Brake Life:
- Avoid Making Hard Stops
- Have Brake Dust Removed
- Don't Ride on Your Brakes
Most newer cars are designed with wear indicator which allows drivers to realize when brakes are worn. The brakes may feel different and the wear indicator will be a high pitch noise, this will mean that the brakes should be checked and replaced as soon as possible. Drivers should not delay when they hear this noise. If your brakes are making a grinding metal noise this is also a sign that your safety is at risk and the vehicle can be damaged if its not serviced.
For more information about our Salerno Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM brake systems and how to best maintain your vehicle complete the form below.

text: Huthayfa 49 Report post Posted July 10, 2018 Hi, I just wanted to know if my setup and settings for my connection are optimal combining Fiber ONT alcatel lucent G-240w-B and Netgear XR500. first of all, my XR500 is one of those versions that have incorrect Ethernet port order on the device front, is that a big issue? now my setup is the following : ONT( 200/80 down/up mbps) > XR500 > PS4 pro and Xbox One X, both hardwired. my ONT has its DHCP, WIFi, firewall all OFF. and all ports 1-65535 forwarded toward my XR500 static IP. I don't use the DMZ of my ONT, because from my old experience of my PS4 connected directly to the ONT on DMZ... the PS4 lagging like hell and I am getting instant deaths as much as I can remember in Call of duty games. So, I forward all the ports and disable ONT firewall instead. on the XR500, I set anti-bufferbloat to 70/70. DumaOS classified games ticked, the bandwidth sharing is equal between all devices with share excess ticked. on WAN settings, NAT filtering secured. UPnP is on by default. no port forwarding, No DMZ to the consoles. now, my big issue is the MTU! the ONT is on PPPoE connection, thus its MTU is 1492. however, the XR500 has the default MTU of 1500, should I modify it also to 1492 ? is my setup optimum ? thank you very much in advance.

The Subaru factor is far from Tokyo. Well, I can't really complain – it took me more than two hours to get to the factor in Gunma for Subaru, and it'll take me longer to go to Panasonic. A, the things we do to visit these esteemed companies.
A pretty good perk of studying are company visits – we get to see the inside of companies we otherwise would not be allowed to see. You can't exactly knock on a factory and ask "can I look at your operations?"
So. Who is Subaru?
They are an plane manufacturing company that decided to use the jet engines to cars.
Yes, you've read that right. Planes. Jet Engines. Cars.
That's basically it. They're not really out to be the next Toyota. They are happy in their own world. Heck, they keep their production in Japan and USA, not really the ideal places for cheap production. It's because they are not after cost – they are after quality with exceptional standards on safety. Yeah, yeah, that's sales talk right there and I was convinced.
The visit was highly interesting. All I could think of is "robots, robots, ROBOTS!". To be clear, robots are not necessarily terminator type robots. Robots can simply be one arm that handles the welding of the car door. We saw how cars are made from rolls of steel to that couple of million yen cars. Yes, from rolls of steel. We saw how they stamped, welded and assembled the cars. We saw the conveyor "belts", and transmission "robots" that facilitated all product transfer.
Japanese companies are at the top of their fields when it comes to manufacturing. I got a peek at it. Wish pictures were allowed. 😦

What to consider when choosing your dissertation topic
Defining a dissertation topic is an important first step in making sure your dissertation research will go as smoothly as possible.
Your subject should not be too broad, as because you'll have too much to investigate in the limited time that is usually available for writing a dissertation. However, it also shouldn't be too narrow, as your research will end up being too superficial.
Overall, your subject should:
- Fulfill institutional requirements
- Be relevant
- Make you enthusiastic to get to work
1. Fulfilling institutional requirements
Before you start exploring possible topics, it's important to make sure you understand any requirements that have been set by your academic program or supervisor. Requirements commonly exist in the following areas:
- Topic domain
For example, marketing, pedagogy, EU law, etc.
- Orientation
Should the research have a scientific or professional orientation? Scientific relevance is very important in the former, whereas practical relevance may play a more central role in the latter.
2. Ensuring relevance
The relevance of your research topic is an important part of defining your dissertation. Among other things, it ensures that your research adds value.
Your topic must be relevant to all parties that have an interest in your research. How this relevance is defined depends on the orientation of your research.
Scientific relevance
In scientific studies, the focus is on filling a gap in the scientific knowledge that currently exists on your subject. Gaps are identified by determining what's missing from the literature.
For example, you may determine that moderator or mediator studies have not been conducted to determine the impact of social media on a certain brand image. If you fill this gap, your research will be scientifically relevant.
Professional orientation
Some programs and disciplines require a dissertation topic that has social or practical relevance; for instance, you may need a topic that is relevant to an organization where you interned. The corresponding research is then usually conducted using an action-oriented approach.
With this kind of orientation, it's important to find a practical application for your research. For example, you could explore how social media engagement affects a particular brand. You could then use your findings as the basis for offering practical recommendations to the company.
3. Choosing something fun!
This requirement is often the most difficult. Exactly how do you go about finding a topic that is also fun?! The most important thing is to give the process some time. Looking into subjects that fulfill your academic requirements and are relevant will often lead you to interesting new topics that you'll enjoy working on.
Steps for choosing a topic
To make the topic selection process easier, we have created a roadmap for choosing a dissertation topic.
Topic chosen. Now what?
Once you've chosen a subject (and your supervisor has approved it), it's time to move on to formulating a problem statement and objective by defining the problem.

Did Walmart Just One Up Amazon?
Just as everyone was getting excited about Prime Day, Walmart announces on its blog, ""We've heard some retailers are charging $100 to get access to a sale. But the idea of asking customers to pay extra in order to save money just doesn't add up for us. We're standing up for our customers and everyone else who sees no rhyme or reason for paying a premium to save."
So, Walmart plans to offer its own discounted goods as well as lower free shipping minimum order to $35 from $50 which will last "until further notice".
Ok, so after Walmart took a dig at Amazon, Amazon's VP of Prime turned around and issues a statement, ""We've heard some retailers are charging higher prices for items in their physical stores than they do for the same items online. The idea of charging your in-store customers more than your online customers doesn't add up for us, but it's a good reminder that you're usually better off shopping online."
But wait, that's not all. Comments on Walmart blog were decidedly pro-Amazon with several reminding Walmart that it owns Sam's Club, a member-only warehouse.
So, here in the US, the competition is definitely heating up for online dominance and the winners are going to be not only the consumer but the delivery companies. But, are the delivery companies ready? There's no room for error from any delivery company at any time of year of course, but something that is potentially this big, lets just hope Amazon and Walmart have worked and planned with their delivery partners ahead of time. Consumers have become unforgiving and many have long memories.
Suggestion to delivery companies – be sure to bring your A-game.
As for whether Walmart one upping Amazon….Not so sure yet. Let's wait and see what happens this week.

text: I was so excited for this maternity session with my old high school friend, Rachelle, and her firstborn little man. She really looks the exact same, except for the belly bump 😉 If only we could all age this well! It's funny, sometimes I write down a general plan for a session in my trusty notepad, and other times (when im feeling especially creative and impromptu) I just work with things as they come. You see absolutely everything from a different perspective as a photographer. So if your subject moves just the slightest bit, or a child flops down on the ground below a Momma's glowing belly…we see it. We see it as a portrait opportunity, and a way to document the emotion and personalities of our subjects. So this was one of those times when I felt like just working with things as they come, and it worked out very well. (ps…an especially great approach when young kiddos are involved, and dont do what you ask of them anyway). It was really, really hard to pick out just a few for this preview, because I love so many of them. So this happens to be a bigger-than-usual preview, and I hope you all enjoy it 🙂

Kotor was a city of traders and famous sailors. The Old town was built between the 12th and 14th century.
The buildings are crisscrossed with narrow streets and squares.
One of the most recognisable symbols of the city is the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon (Sveti Tripun),which was built in 12th century in honor of the patron and protector of the city. Several other old churches, the Prince's Palace from the 17th century and the Napoleon's Theatre from the 19th century are all treasures that are part of the rich heritage of Kotor.
Carnivals and festivals are organized each year to give additional charm to this most beautiful city of the Montenegrin coast.
The International Summer Carnival is visited by several thousands of people and many carnival groups from Europe participate in this event.
The night of Boka is a boat parade with entertainment and parties on town's squares and fireworks. Refresh Festival is a music festival and it is hosting some of the bigger names of electronic music. All of them are held in August.
The perfectly preserved walls of Kotor are some five kilometres long and are a unique example of fortification architecture in Europe. They were gradually built between 9th and 19th centuries. Kotor is among few of Mediterranean towns which has preserved its fortification system up to today. The walls were one of the main reasons why the UNESCO put this city on the list of the world natural and cultural heritage in 1979.
At the top of the bastion you can find the fortress of Saint Ivan, reachable by walking along the walls.
The best time to climb the 1350 steps is during the morning or late afternoon. Wear a good solid shoes (not flip-flops) because the stairs are uneven in some places and bring a bottle of water. The whole hike in both directions takes around two hours. The entrance fee is 3 €. Climbing is not as easy as it may seems but you'll be rewarded with an amazing view of the whole bay.

Blood Donor Basics
Your health is important to us, and we want to help you maintain it.
Jupiter, Florida
Blood donors saved my life.
The Rodriguez family changed forever on the morning of Christmas Eve in 2015. Their 11-year-old daughter, Olivia, did not wake up and when her mom went to check on her she discovered Olivia was hemorrhaging and unresponsive.
The ambulance rushed her to the hospital where doctors discovered she had been losing blood throughout the night and her hemoglobin was critically low. Olivia needed immediate blood and plasma transfusions to survive. Olivia's mom says "It was one of the scariest things we've ever gone through as parents."
Fortunately, when the first blood transfusion was given, her condition rapidly improved and doctors were able to stabilize her to perform surgery and correct the hemorrhage. Without the critical blood transfusions Olivia received, she may have not made it through the surgery. The Rodriguez family received the biggest gift of all, the gift of life.
Now a healthy 13-year-old, Olivia owes her life to blood donors. "It was scary, but I knew that I would be okay because I was getting blood transfusions. I am very thankful to everyone who donates blood. I wouldn't be here today without you."
Your health is important to us, and we want to help you maintain it.
Your help as our partner is critical to providing a safe, reliable and affordable blood supply.
Let your blood type lead the way to donate your powerful lifesaving gift.
Help your community understand the impact blood donation has.

The 2015 Ram C/V Tradesman is the efficient utility van that your business needs to do the job right and make deliveries on time. And when it comes to making great deals, nobody does the job better than the courteous sales staff at Scott Robinson CDJR in Torrance, CA, serving Gardena, Carson, and Redondo Beach. We welcome you to our dealership so you can explore everything this versatile van has to offer. Once you learn about the 2015 Ram C/V Tradesman's capabilities, we know you'll want to sign the papers right on the spot!
Let's peek at how the 2015 Ram C/V Tradesman stands up to the Nissan NV Cargo.
Before you even step into the showroom of Scott Robinson CDJR and hear our low price on a 2015 Ram C/V Tradesman, you've kept money in your pocket by choosing it over the Nissan NV Cargo. $4000 remains in your bank account just by virtue of the C/V Tradesman's low starting price tag of $22,500 vs. the Nissan NV Cargo's starting MSRP of $26,240. And since these two utility vans are pretty evenly matched, no question the 2015 Ram C/V Tradesman takes the crown -- and the whole kingdom --here.
Pop the hood of the 2015 Ram C/V Tradesman and you'll find an award-winning 3.6L Pentastar V6 with 283 hp. A 6-speed automatic transmission joins it to create a Best-In-Class highway driving range of 520 miles on a single tank of gas. Lift the hood of the Nissan NV Cargo and you'll see a 4.0L V6 with 261 hp mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission (full disclosure -- the upper-level trims do offer a V8 engine, but we're comparing the two evenly-matched vans here).Head to head, the 2015 Ram C/V Tradesman has more power and a more efficient transmission.
You'll find comfort and convenience features on the 2015 Ram C/V Tradesman that are absent or optional on the Nissan NV Cargo, including three 12 volt power outlets, power heated mirrors, dual-zone climate control, power door locks and windows and steering wheel-mounted controls. And that's not even everything -- so it's clear, you'll enjoy your ride more in the 2015 Ram C/V Tradesman.View Inventory

I visited Temple of Heaven twice. It was my first destination in Beijing in 2010 and again a year later when two good friends from Campbell River, BC, accompanied me for part of the trip.
Although one of the main tourist attractions, it wasn't nearly as crowded as expected. Light rain on and off probably kept locals away on both occasions. Temple of Heaven is an imperial complex of religious buildings and has been regarded as a Taoist temple. All structures are meticulously kept, there are hardly any parts left due for a new coat of paint.
Tour groups go straight to the main buildings but as soon as you take one of the countless side paths there's often nobody else to be found.
The temple is nested in a huge park, totalling 267 hectares (660 acres), which is just as interesting as the main attraction.
Parks are an integral part of Chinese life style. If you think that sitting in a street café watching people is a fun activity, you'll love Chinese parks even more. Inside every park, you'll find vibrant and silent sections, convenient layout and artful landscape design, open and sheltered places with plenty of benches where people can gather and socialize. Often there are fish ponds, squares with and without stages, waterfalls, caves and interesting rock formations, ancient trees, bonsai and rose gardens, free exercise equipment, statues, rock inscriptions, as well as hedges and flower arrangements trimmed into Chinese characters. If there's a lake, there will be pedal boats for rent. Some parks come with smaller zoos and amusement parks, there might be light shows, and speakers along the paths might play soft Chinese music. Every park is a little bit different and most parks are very well used. Some parks are free, some charge a fee (which I always found reasonable); often there is no or almost no charge for locals 🙂
So, what DO people do in the parks? Everything you can and cannot think of! Singing, dancing, playing instruments, cards, mah-jong, chess, practising tai chi, runway walking, backwards walking, reading, studying, exercising, socializing, reciting poems, practising dance steps, flying kites, taking pictures, dressing up and performing Chinese opera, painting, playing badminton and ping pong. A very popular pastime is writing Chinese characters on sidewalks using huge paintbrushes dipped in water. As soon as the water dries up, the writing disappears. There are marriage markets (that'll be part of another post). The list is endless. Below is a picture of a guy standing on a park bench reading a book. Back then I found it a funny sight, now I've blurred his face.
Early on I realized a big difference. When we perform in public, we usually do it to entertain others. Sports like running might be different, but if somebody plays an instrument on a sidewalk, usually the musician wants others to listen and hopefully drop a few coins. In China's parks, people "perform" for themselves. Just as we would practice those things at home, they just take it to the park. Sometimes you walk along a path with many little groups side by side playing their own and very different music; for the one walking by it sounds awful. But that's the point, it's not done for passers-by, it's just for their own little circle.
So, the park is really just an extension to their own home where people freely practice whatever they are passionate about, nobody judges them, nobody makes fun of others' imperfection. All of a sudden, I didn't feel good about making fun of that guy on the bench anymore. Taking such personal pictures in a park felt more like peeping through a keyhole – you just don't do that!
I love the parks, but you'll rarely find pictures in this blog that show how people are using the parks. Go and immerse yourself if you got a chance. I wish we would transform one of our parks and use it just as young and old in China.

I have to admit, I do admire France's style. They harnessed the revolution. By making July 14th into their national holiday they are themselves one with the forces that once opposed them, stating how "avant-garde" they are and thus innoculating themselves against any further revolutionary actions. It was a brilliant move. They adopted all the ideals of the revolution officially even making "La Marseillaise" (Check out the bloodthirsty lyrics here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laWIjgWDesE ) the national anthem.
The French Revolution, which set all the monarchies in Europe quaking with fear, was the natural consequence of the despotic absolute rulership by the French Monarchy, who were largely starving their own people to fund the war effort and allowing them only rotten food, if they could get any food at all. The complete lock down of the classes was too frustrating for the upwardly mobile merchant and scholarly classes - 1 % living on the backs of the other 99% - so they riled up the masses and stormed the Bastille prison. They were hoping to find weapons with which to fight and were disappointed. Nevertheless, they took the prison apart and eventually succeeded in their complete dismantling of the monarchy. The name of the prison stayed and became the name of the national holiday, although only a plaque now marks its existence.
That the monarchy was re-established for a time, is a sign of the lack of ability of the populace to envision something better but the revolution left its mark in many ways. One great thinker has remarked that the French Revolution is not yet over. I would agree.
Nor would I expect it to end. A revolution by definition can only follow a circular (or elliptical) track, it will always return to point "go". A revolution will never lead to freedom, only to a cathartic discharge of anger and resentment, which in time will build up again. It was a good "wake up" call for the Monarchy, to let them know that they could not forever operate with impunity. Since then they have become more shrewd. Yet I would still assert that we do not need another revolution.
What we do need however is change. In fact, we need a sweeping systemic change. But it must be change with a better vision of what can be, not simply change in anger, change for change's sake, as too often occurs. We need a better version of the future than out media seems to be able to come up with.
Too many of us are suffering from the ills of our civilization: the rents are too high, the pay too low and the quality of life for many too insufficient. We have forgotten what is important. Meaningful work, love and kindness, time spent with family and friends, time in nature and pursuing our own interests, all takes a backseat to earning a living. We are slaves who maintain our illusion of freedom, while actually experiencing very little freedom. And we wonder when we fall ill, often terminally so. We have created (or allowed to be created) a system which does us no favours and now many are at a loss as to how to extricate themselves or feel powerless to do so.
Yet freedom beckons. It is part of the human spirit to yearn to be free. There are some, increasingly, stepping up to the plate one way or another. New sustainable buildings, off-grid technology or new ways of growing our food are being invented daily. Technology is in place, or shortly coming into place , with 3D printers to allow food and other items to be replicated. If we can replicate food, we eliminate hunger. If we can ever learn to work together rather than work in competition, we could eliminate the need to work so hard. Life could become much more pleasant and less stressful A revolution will not do that but an inner evolution will coupled with our evolving technology. As Margaret Mead said, " A small group of like-minded individuals could change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
So happy "Jour de la Bastille" to France! Let's look to our future - may it be bright and peaceful!

Done With the Bloody Feel Good Episodes
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Industry | July 27, 2010 |
By Steven Lloyd Wilson | Industry | July 27, 2010 |
SFX interviewed "Torchwood" show runner Russell T Davies, who talked a bit about the show's next series. Or season. See, it's being co-produced by Starz, and will be mostly shot in America, with a couple of new American main characters. Some red flags are being raised by this, mainly by the propensity for American fingerprints to destroy anything British. But since Davies appears to still be in creative control of the show, that really leaves the most pressing question: will it be a fourth series or a fourth season? Wars have been started over less picky semantics.
"Torchwood: Grandchildren of Earth" is expected to broadcast in the summer of 2011. Although it will be ten episodes instead of five, the fourth series will be structurally more similar to "Children of Earth" than previous seasons. It will be "one long story," as SFX puts it. The tight serial nature of "Children of Earth" was a great strength, but I'm not sure if stretching a story like that out to twice the length will lose a bit of its urgency. Also, even though they had a lot of weaknesses, there were some excellent stand alone short stories told in the first two series, so it'll be a shame if that sort of storytelling falls completely by the wayside of the show.
And he also assures us that the fourth series will stay dark: "Actually, this story is also very dark. I think with that, Torchwood found its feet. People found something very compelling and very chilling about it. I love the way people got on their high horse saying, 'Oh, he killed his grandson!' Hello! He saved every single child in the world! If you would fail to do that then you're the monster, frankly."
At first blush it seemed like it might be difficult to top the darkness of "Children of Earth," really they're running out of characters to kill. Yet except for the death of Ianto, all of the emotional sucker punches involve characters introduced in that series. Frobisher, MacDonald, Jack's daughter and grandson ... "Children of Earth" didn't just go dark, it went dark the hard way by building tragedy out of characters you'd only just met.

We are, of course, referring to a deck – that delightful touch that can beautify a home while also providing a comfortable outside spot for relaxation.
To inspire you (and treat you to some visual beauty), we've selected three examples of wooden decks that have severely enhanced their relevant properties' looks and value – and we're going to be taking a step-by-step look at how they were constructed.
Let's take it away!
Deck 1—The finished floor
However, it is important to pick a surface material that's able to withstand the elements: humidity, moisture, extreme temperatures – they are very much real, and they don't care how much you love your little deck. This particular terrace opted for wood as the main surface, which, of course, has been treated to sufficient coating in order to protect the timber.
Deck 1 – Building the base
Deck 1 – Laying the planks
Deck 1 – Safe, sound and spacious
Architects, gardeners, and much more – we have them all here on homify. See our professionals page for more info.
Deck 2 – Warm and charming
Let's see how it came together.
Deck 2 – Planning the layout
Deck 2 – The skeleton
Notice that the beams are not spaced out too far from each other in order to ensure a strong level of support for the deck.
Deck 2 – Laying the top boards
Deck 2 – Shaped perfectly
Deck 2 – Polishing up elegance
Deck 2 – The final touches
Isn't this just the most sublime way to spruce up a front entrance to a house?
Deck 3 – The exterior socialising spot
And notice the exquisite touch in the front with the wooden planks forming a unique, built-in space for a potted plant.
Deck 3 – An elevated design
Deck 3 – Stepping up
As the house's landscape is not level at all, but the deck is supposed to be one consistent surface, it means that the one side of the terrace had to get a step or two for easy access.
After this was completed, the practical touches could be applied, such as the protective coating, appropriate polishing and desired colour.
All these decks are attractive and low profile. What about if you have an elevated deck with space underneath it? You can actually create a dry outdoor living space with an under deck ceiling system. Check it out!

After repeated calls, and many many clarifications, finally here's what I gathered on the conspirations:
Lack of procedure knowledge
First and foremost, the staff who handled my contract on my first week in Japan is probably not sure of the procedures for handling contracts for foreigners. Her procedure was wrong and hence this led to an entire episode of great inconvenience to me.
Lack of product knowledge
The second guy who attended to my so-called re-registration (which ended up to just a cancellation and purchase of a new handphone and prepaid card), is not familiar with pre-paid cards. He offered me incorrect information such as: each S-mail keitai mail will cost 300yen per message regardless of size, and I had specifically asked him, what if I attach a picture, and he assured me yes, it's just 300yen per message 0.o He did not explain that I can sign up for an unlimited mail service for 300yen per month, and most importantly, my pre-paid card value will be lost after 2 months, if I do not use up my credits in 2 months. As a result, I had bought the more expensive card, which is 5000yen.
Unclear in explanations
It was only towards the end, after conversations between my colleague and the staff, that we finally understood why the whole saga has unfolded. It was not because that I did not use a credit card to register, but rather because they had allowed me to buy a phone at 0yen, and then pay higher monthly fees later. It should be me paying 20,000+yen upfront and then they will reimburse 980yen per month for 24 months.
Without being clear in why I had to cancel and re-register, only made the customer feel you have something to hide. Really. Though it didn't have much impact to them, since I was still coerced to cancel, buy a new phone, and a new prepaid card, aka, new business for them.
Giving incomplete info to customers
If you already know that, cancelling the mobile line will affect my internet line, then you should have specify that right from the start. From the call to the purchase of the prepaid plan, no one has told me about the impact on my internet line. It was only after I paid in cold hard cash, for the new phone and prepaid card, that I was informed by the male staff that my internet will be cancelled, pls come back to the shop again 2 weeks later to re-register.
Not sympathetic in their damage-control strategy
They could have been more sympathetic, like saying, we understand the inconveniences it will cost you:
- Time
- Loss of other data in your phone other than contacts
- Money (new phone, new prepaid card)
- Loss of internet (you cannot imagine how terrible I felt without internet.)
- Inconvenience of announcing change of number and keitai mail, etc.
Instead, they just coldly tell me, this is our final offer, after several conversations, on whether they can help in the internet issue, since it is afterall Softbank's mistake and not mine, why am I paying for all these inconveniences?!: Pls come again to re-register with us. Pay the 20,000+yen upfront and sign up for a White Plan, whereby 980yen will be discounted every month for 24 months. With that you can sign up for internet again.
That message really piffed me...
Anyway... Softbank, I hope you really hold your word, and reimburse my partial bills, and send me the statement of the 5000+yen bill which you have collected without sending me any paper bill. Else, it will not be the last you hear from me (literally more calls). Let's just end this agony, ok?
It's a pity why there is no CASE in Japan. Otherwise I can easily report to CASE on this saga.

I have enjoyed this post. It made me smile reading all the different times you have used to work on your quilts. Life with kids! I like the quiet of working on a hand project too. Lots of hand stitching equals to a peaceful time.
I would love to know how you hand piece!
I am always interested in seeing how each quilter adapts and makes a skill their own. I enjoyed reading this post.ReplyDelete
Yes I would love to see how you hand piece its something I still haven't tried yet.ReplyDelete
great post....children sure dictate our sewing time.
Wonderful post! I just learned to hand piece a few months ago. I started a spool quilt - thought I'd start with something easy. I do enjoy the quietness of it. I love hand quilting for the same reason.ReplyDelete
I haven't hand pieced in a long time but I do a lot of hand applique. It is a very different experience from machine work. EnJOYReplyDelete

Buy Voxels With Fiat: Instant Wealth: Just Add The Affluence Network
Thank you for coming to us in looking for "Buy Voxels With Fiat" online. This mining task validates and records the trades across the entire network. So if you are trying to do something illegal, it's not wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see forever. Since one of the earliest forms of making money is in money financing, it really is a fact that one can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites currently focus on Bitcoin, several of those sites you're required fill in a captcha after a particular period of time and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite poor liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a reasonable investment strategy.
Buy Voxels With Fiat: The Affluence Network – Designed For Life
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is now the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms offering long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately connects in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the correct location at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these businesses decide how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's happening to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any centered firm. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current built-in problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. A lot of people prefer to use a money deflation, particularly those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial privacy, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; in case you are living paycheck to paycheck, it'd happen as part of your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not crucial to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it's essentially crucial that you comprehend that there's a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we know them now where Governments and banks can only choose to print endless amounts (I am not saying they're doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. You've probably heard this many times where you typically distribute the nice word about crypto. "It is not volatile? What happens when the price failures? " to date, several POS devices delivers free conversion of fiat, relieving some problem, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people will soon be unwilling to carry any. We need to find a way to struggle the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. When searching on the web forBuy Voxels With Fiat, there are many things to consider.

Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Buy Voxels With Fiat. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making substantial ammonts of money with various types of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin design provides an informative example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on very profitable business models made accessible because of the growing use of blockchain technology. It should be difficult to get more modest gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having small gains is more profitable than attempting to resist up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to look at books than wait for order confirmation when you believe the cost is going down. Second, there is more volatility and compensation in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital currency referred to as Bitcoin. There are different from common currency we know. This is because they're not commanded by any country or authorities. They do not go through any third party. It was a huge breakthrough in the means of exchange. In addition, it brought huge solutions to the problems of identity theft online. Transactions go through several parties as a means of creating trust, but today it truly is possible to create trust through creation of a complex code by an individual party. You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never decrease! Always will go down! Viewers incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times) It is certainly possible, but it must be able to comprehend opportunities no matter marketplace behaviour. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be ok. If you are in search of Buy Voxels With Fiat, look no further than The Affluence Network.
Buy Voxels With Fiat: Cashing In On Cryptocurrency – The Affluence Network
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers claim that there's "real" worth, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that's, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that is worth an ever declining amount of money or some sort of wages so that you can ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which can be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of trades dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason behind this could be just that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. It truly is also possible the regulators just don't comprehend the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have greater chance of solving a block, but the benefit will be split between all members of the pool, according to the number of "shares" won.
If you're thinking about going it alone, it is worth noting the software settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This option also creates a steady stream of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to fully block the reward.

Ok, R2D2 and R5D4 are loaded up for their trip to Orlando, Florida via the R2 Express for the 30th anniversary of Empire Strikes Back! Damien rolled in at 2:30 today (Friday) and the loading process began. All I can say is I am glad my case was designed to have the wheels come off for tight loading situations because this was definitely one of those. With the wheels off there was only 1 inch clearence through the opening of his custom trailer (which wasn't a standard opening to begin with (57″). We got it in and secured and then got my equipment case in and then we got my uncrated droid secured as well. Now it is time to to pack up and fly out to meet them in Florida. It will be good to see old friends and make new ones as well as have fun at Disney!!

The case is also lockable with external cable locks. These droids fit very well. Snug as a bug!
Droid Transport Case Construction
And so it begins……………Those 4 words say so little yet mean so much! The culmination of 7 months of research and design finally come together with a major case manufacturer known to produce high end custom cases for the US government, World renown Rock Bands and major Movie Production Companies. A&S Case Company in North Hollywood, Ca has produced a droid specific ATA Category 1 transport case that you can drive your droid in, secure it and close it up. Rest assured it will be protected even if it is dropped off of the truck, flipped or laid down. Everything except a forklift through the side, Grenade or gunfire blowing through the case is covered (for a additional fee armor plating can be added) It is heavily padded inside, has multiple tie down straps, wheel chock locks and is designed to handle droids with all 3 dome styles R2, R4 (lamp shade) and R5/R6 heads (the antenna must be removable). The heads are kept in position with different foam blocks that are custom fitted. The transport case has a rear door allowing access to the rear of your droid to turn power on or off; for storage of your transmitter or other accessories. The front of the case has a main door that swings out and then a ramp comes down for the droid to drive out. The wheels on the case are lockable but can come off if the case needs to fit in confined space. There is also a hidden compartment for a Lo-jack type device to track the case at all times. The case comes in 2 different configurations, wood or aluminum construction. If you ever have to transport your case commercially this would be the way to go. The use of this type of case along with a freight forwarder would give you the best of both worlds (low cost and high security and safety of your droid). What you see here is the construction of the case with the initial fitting of the droid. Next week I will have pictures of the final assembly and fitting with the various domes, straps, padding and wheel locks in place as well as the loading ramp and locking access doors.

January 26–July 2, 2017
For generations, artists have used text and books to challenge the purveyors of knowledge and to trouble the certainty of facts. Books are often thought about, researched and developed at the expense of marginalized groups, especially black people. Working with text and books, many artists seek to subvert historical paradigms of narrative control and dissemination of knowledge. These artists' methods include physically breaking down the medium, pushing the scope of text and blurring the lines of the written word and the visual landscape. Excerpt explores how artists use books and language as a form of resistance, putting pressure on the way knowledge is written and shared. Through reworking our reading, these artists provide new understanding for themselves and viewers.

I've been dilly-dallying on writing a post about critics for awhile, and then Jimmy C-Note went and started posting on the subject so it's give me a nice kick in the pants.
1. Blog Suspicion. The core of the blogosphere's DNA is suspicion. There's a refusal to take anything at face value and a refusal to accept anyone as an authority simply because they claim to be. There's also an immediate suspicion of people's motives when they write and say things they write and say. In many ways, this is a positive. The blogosphere's ongoing pwning of the mainstream media, for example, is a net positive. But it is also the blogosphere's achilles heel. This happens in all sorts of arenas...the assumption that people are acting in bad faith makes it hard to discuss what they're actually saying and can diminish the conversation at times.
What happens, then, when that suspicion is applied to art? This question makes me think about a recent project undertaken by several of my favorite political bloggers this summer. This summer, you may recall, was Infinite Summer, a mass online book club of Infinite Jest. As a way of participating, Ezra Klein, Julian Sanchez, Matt Yglesias and several others founded this blog. The early postings of it are like a parody of bloggers reading a book. One of them did oppo research before starting, reading James Wood's "takedown" of David Foster Wallace prior to cracking the book. One of them said he was reading largely because he wanted to see if it was really worth all the hype, not because there was anything about the book that actually interested him etc. and so forth.
The idea that, given the choice between reading DFW's thoughts on fiction or an essay-length takedown of DFW's work, one would choose the latter as a way of better understanding Infinite Jest is pure Blog Suspicion. It's what happens when you apply the skills of a political blogger to the field of understanding and writing about culture.
Oddly enough, the reviewer who openly espouses a similar attitude here in New York is, of course, Charles Isherwood. Reading his work, it becomes clear that when he sits down to view a play, he wants it to prove itself to him before he can open himself up to accept it.
This is problematic. Theatre relies on a certain level of complicity between artist and art. And if you don't make that good faith effort in the beginning, there's a good chance that you're sunk. That's true of most art forms. It's especially true of theatre. I'm not saying it would be awesome if all reviewers assumed they were going to love what they were going to see, but rather simply that the work they're seeing was greeted with an open mind.
The question becomes... as the blogosphere takes over a lot more of theatre reviewing (particularly once the Times goes out of business or becomes an all-online publication) what will happen with Blog Suspicion and theatre reviewing?

"Unplugged" by Kelli Perkins
This is one in a series of posts featuring an artist whose work is included in the Threads of Resistance exhibition.
Artist's Statement:When creating, I am drawn to the intersection where the common, everyday object meets an unexpected element. Often, this encounter reveals inconsistencies in how we relate to one another. The same hands that bake a pie can build a bomb. Malevolence is most disturbing when it's woven into the mundane.
In acceptance that kindness and corruption co-exist, my work revels in bright colors and frenetic stitching, expressing an unfailing sense of optimism. Whether through genetics or environment, I've inherited an unshakeable feeling that everything will be all right.
In "Unplugged" we see that the media has abandoned truth for the far more colorful and enticing lies, lies and more lies. The untruths are so mesmerizing that we can't look away, even as the sign-off test pattern fills the screen. The lies, though bright and cheerful, are tangled up and knotted, causing confusion. We don't know where one ends and another begins. We have come unplugged from reality, though the scissors-wielding agent of our doom has not been named. We must learn who benefits from the perpetuation of alternative facts in order to trace the roots of our problem and restore our future. It may be time for us to turn off the screen and talk to each other.

Ukrainian invaders use Severodonetsk boarding school as children's brothel
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have organized a children's brothel in the Severodonetsk boarding school [the Lugansk region] under the auspices of the city authorities. The LPR Ministry of Internal Affairs has received in its disposal documents proving that the children's brothel had been organized and managed by the Ukrainian military and occupation authorities in Severodonetsk.
"During the operation of the hotline of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Lugansk People's Republic, it has been established that the administration of the Severodonetsk general boarding school for orphans enforced its underage children of both genders to have sexual contacts with paedophiles from among servicemen, law enforcers, nationalist battalion fighters and representatives of the occupation administration," the LPR Interior Ministry reported on October 20.
The department stated that the Republic's police possessed documents on specific crimes and their participants. At present, an inspection is underway, after which the received materials will be made public, and also attached to a single criminal case on the crimes by the Ukrainian punishers and passed to all interested foreign and international authorities.

Place Your Bets on the Royal Wedding
written by: Haylie under News Comments: Comments Off
There is much buzz going on in all media outlets—radio, television, Internet—about the Royal Wedding that will go down next week, and now it is infecting online betting sites. Betting sites have reported record levels of bets that have been coming in on the royal nuptials from all over the world.
Betting topics include how the bride will arrive at the church, whether or not she will arrive on time, what color hat will Her Majesty The Queen wear, and even what will be the best selling souvenir. There's actually an infomercial that offers an exact copy replica of Kate Middleton's engagement ring.
These levels of bets coming in make this event the second highest one-off event since the novelty betting that ensued when the new Pope was inaugurated in 2005, according to Paddy Power, leader in online gaming in the UK and Australia, as well as the biggest bookmaker in Ireland.
There is still much speculation regarding the Royal Wedding, as many of the details remain secret including the dress designer. The Alexander McQueen Fashion House's Sarah Burton is a favorite for dress designer, but there are now rumors that she may just be designing the evening dress. Other dress designers are in the running like Libelula's Sophie Cranston, now the joint favorite with Burton, though there have been other reports that suggest Middleton, with the help of designers Emma Watson and Jerry Hall, has designed her own dress. However, this is just one of many bets being made on the Royal Wedding (34 at Paddy Power).
Paddy Power owner says, "There is nothing in the world like a Royal Wedding to excite a nation. We've literally been knocked over with the level of betting we've experienced over the past couple of weeks. I plan to be outside Buckingham Palace all next week with my trustee betting board and bookies satchel."

Exciting Changes at the Union
The John F. Kennedy Memorial Union has been a staple in the University of Dayton community since our earliest days— but big changes are coming to update the union at the heart of campus.
Kennedy Union has something for everyone. Need a place to study? Head up to Torch Lounge, which also serves as an open events space. Need to relax after all that studying? Head to the Galley for a quick game of foosball, bowling, or billiards between classes— and grab a milkshake on your way out. Kennedy Union is also home to the commuter lounge, the Center for Student Involvement, the campus information center, and the box office— just to name a few. Arguably the most important, however, is the Kennedy Union dinning hall.
The Kennedy Union dinning hall is getting an extreme makeover, and just recently closed last Friday to get underway. Renovations will span over the next year and will be complete in time for the beginning of the 2017 fall semester. When it opens, the new space will include 3 micro-restaurants: Spice, Toss, and 'Que. Spice is the place where "East meets West", and will feature food from a set of rotating global tastes including Italian, Indian, and Chinese. Toss will feature gourmet salads and custom pizzas. 'Que— the one I'm most excited for— will feature smoked meats, rotisserie chicken, and many more down-home cooking favorites. All of this just in time for the new academic year.
The main floor of Kennedy Union will also be updated, starting in the spring of this year. While this area is still in the planning phases, there are some new and exciting changes to note. The existing Barrett Dining Room is going to be renovated and turned into an Au Bon Pain. If you're not familiar with Au Bon Pain, think of it like Panera. This grab-n-go fresh bakery will feature hot soups, bakery goods, fresh salads, as well as fresh made sandwiches. Oh, and don't forget smoothies. On top of the new Au Bon Pain, Torch lounge and the lobby will also undergo renovations starting Spring of 2017 and reopening at the same time as the dinning hall.
Exciting changes are coming to Kennedy Union this year, and I for one cannot wait to try some of that new barbecue next Fall.
Additional details on the Kennedy Union remodel can be found at:

CLEWISTON — The Clewiston City Commission heard a very positive report at its July 2 meeting, with the auditor stating that the city's finances were firmly in the black at the end of fiscal year 2017.
Mayor Mali Gardner found the audit results to be great news for the city. "We've come through some really tough times as a community, but we were able to sustain the economic hardships by using our reserves," she stated. "We didn't close down the police department, we didn't close down the golf course, we didn't have to close down our parks, we didn't have to have massive layoffs, we just … tried to become more efficient and we're still working on that right now."
At the beginning of the commissioners' meeting that Monday night, Mayor Gardner asked David Miller of the city's contracted financial auditing firm Boy, Miller & Swindle P.A. to explain how Clewiston's finances appeared as of Sept. 30, 2017.
First he explained the two different ways the numbers were presented in their report, relying mostly on the "government-wide statement," which takes into account overall fund balances to give a complete picture.
"What you're looking at here is current assets and current liabilities, available resources for the city to use in the following fiscal year. At the end of the year, the governmental fund balance was positive … what we saw there in looking at the budget vs. actual, was that you beat the budget by quite a bit," he said.
"In 2016, there was a favorable excess of revenues over expenditures of about $170,000, and this year here, it was in excess of $400,000. So in terms of the fund balance, the city is moving in the right direction, and that's a good thing," Mr. Miller reported.
"He's been the auditor since before I was on the city commission," Mayor Gardner said, "and he's been through the good times and the bad times as far as finances. His entire 2017 audit … was good news."
