Big Dolly Movers were amazing. They were on time and completed a 3rd story, two bedroom move in two hours. They were professional and obviously knew what they were doing. The only concern was scheduling. I thought everything was confirmed, I even received an email saying Big Dolly Movers had accepted the job, but when I called to confirm, he asked if I could work around another job that he had at 2:00 and he did not even have my job on the books. Make sure you confirm more than once. In the end everything worked out beautifully. I would definitely recommend HireaHelper and Big Dolly Movers. Fairly painless process.
They did a great job. I probably should have reserved a larger truck, but they made the most of the space and fit just about everything on. I could only afford 2 hours of work and they worked fast and got most of the load completed in that time frame. I was very impressed with their work.
They worked very well, and understood the needs on my packing...they manage very well the space on the uhaul to fit everything properly and getting the best of the space they have to put everything in...Mr. Luke Gonzales was very professional on managing his crew.
They were on time and prepared for the job. They were very respectful to me and my property. I would use them again. The only complaint I have is that when loading, they made the truck heavier on one side. This makes it harder to drive on a windy day. I was impressed that they were able to load so much in the truck.
JR was fantastic. Ethical, hard working and very capable. I appreciated the professionalism of Labor Ready as well, with call confirmations and the works. Thanks!
These two men were absolutely professional, fast, well organized and I cannot say enough about how good they were. Nothing was broken, Everything was put into our truck with extreme care, cushioned well, tied down. I would highly recommend them. And one more point, they were late in arriving but kept us informed of where they were at all times. So even the fact that they were running late from another job, it turned into another positive point in this review.

On Tuesday, real-estate mogul Donald Trump broke a relatively uncharacteristic Twitter silence to tout his performance in the Iowa caucuses the night before.
"My experience in Iowa was a great one. I started out with all of the experts saying I couldn't do well there and ended up in 2nd place. Nice," he wrote.
Trump, who is well known for late-night tweets, had been silent on the social-media platform since his loss Monday night.
Politico even featured a clock on its website counting the seconds since Trump last tweeted.
The billionaire businessman was the Republican presidential front-runner entering the Iowa caucuses, with every recent poll giving him a lead in the state over Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. Cruz ultimately upset Trump, and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida also did better than expected to place a close third.
In the days leading up to Monday night's caucuses, Trump sounded confident that he would win and frequently stated how badly he wanted to do so. But Iowa was also consistently one of Trump's worst states relative to his rivals, according to public-opinion polls.
Trump attempted to reframe his Iowa loss on Tuesday as a win even though he was viewed as the front-runner there:

A Year of Favor
Sixteen Meditational Rosaries
for More Fruitful Visits with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
by Mark Christopher Brandt
Mark Christopher Brandt has been a Catholic in Good Standing at All Saints Catholic Church in Manassas, VA since he joined that parish in 1992. Mark's first published book, entitled A Year of Favor, contains 16 different meditations on the mysteries of the rosary for year round use either in personal or group recitation in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. It was Mark's hope to have the first publication of these reflections coincide with the 100th year anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima. Ecclesiastical permission was granted in June 2017 and the first publication of this book occurred in October 2017. This book, like the rosary, is not just for Catholics but for anyone and everyone interested in deepening their relationship with Jesus Christ by means of this beautiful, fruitful, ancient Western way of meditation.

How to Play the Blues When You Don't Have Them
Guitar and bass tablature available on request.
Secured SIte
An easy, organized approach towards jazz improvisation
and playing the blues
Review comes from Thomas Mirus, jazz pianist, New York, NY.
A good teacher is one who not only imparts vital information to his or her student, but also leads the student through the process of organizing, internalizing and applying that information so that the student is empowered to learn on his own. The converse is also true: that too much information, raw and disordered, brings about confusion and paralysis. This is as true in jazz as in any other discipline, and it is typical of the Information Age that the aspiring jazz musician has access to countless wonderful books and websites devoted to teaching jazz, the vast majority of which will be of no use to him whatsoever because the knowledge therein is not organized to provide an entry point for a beginner. But the experienced artist and the novice alike seek simplicity and depth, and these are offered to the novice in How to Play the Blues When You Don't Have Them by Mark Brandt, an experienced artist who understands and possesses both.
How to Play the Blues contains the basic information about theory, scales, voicings, technique and ear training needed by every beginning jazz student, and presents this information in an organized, step-by-step format that inspires rather than overwhelms. Furthermore, Mark understands that scales, voicings, and technique do not a jazz musician make, and that they are means to the end of uninhibited, spontaneous expression. Thus his book is not only filled with theoretical and technical information, but is also permeated with the wisdom he has gained throughout his decades of experience as a jazz pianist, composer, arranger, private teacher and clinician. It is this aspect of the book in particular that makes it useful to advanced jazz musicians as well as beginners.
Having used Mark's method successfully with my own students, I can attest that How to Play the Blues will be an invaluable resource for teachers, particularly high school and middle school band directors. All too often, a new student comes to his or her first lesson loaded down with one or more gigantic tomes filled with chord progressions and scales, understandably bewildered by the prospect of doing the musical equivalent of learning to speak English by reading a dictionary. The student's relief when I reassure him that we will be using a much more organized and accessible method is only matched by his relief when I tell him that Mark's book is the only one he will need to purchase for a long time.
Along with the book itself come two bonuses. The first is a play-along CD which serves as an aid to practice and ear training, particularly for learning to play the blues in all twelve keys. The second is Mark's unfailing generosity in answering questions via phone or email, of which I have taken advantage on many an occasion.
One of the greatest jazz artists of all time, Herbie Hancock, has said: "While knowledge may provide useful point of reference, it cannot become a force to guide the future. Without wisdom, the future has no meaning, no valuable purpose." In How to Play the Blues When You Don't Have Them, Mark Brandt offers the aspiring jazz musician both knowledge and wisdom as a firm foundation for future growth.

Bassik Instincts
An Organized Guide for Jazz Bass Players
by Mark Christopher Brandt
Bassik Instincts is the book that taught me how to play jazz bass. I specifically remember playing my electric bass and wishing I could play jazz bass lines. I wanted to be able to play with a jazz feel, but I did not know how to do this, especially when I had no entry point. This book got me completely lined up when I began working with it on my electric bass. Within a few months, I acquired my first upright bass with which I then started the book again. The exercises in this book taught me how to play the upright bass. Ever since I began working with Bassik, I have not needed to go through any other method book, as this one is so comprehensive.
The opening exercises in Bassik Instincts completely line up your left hand to start negotiating the fingerboard and playing bass lines through chord changes in all 12 keys. You immediately start shifting and covering the full range of the bass in a manner that is very simple and easy to comprehend. This book contains dozens of fully composed jazz bass lines that are immediately applicable to the standard jazz repertoire, as well as countless ideas to be used to creatively construct your own bass lines in all styles of jazz. There is no other bass method book out there that can take a bass player from ground zero to becoming a competent, confident jazz bass player. Bassik Instincts is the book for learning how to play jazz bass!

County 8-liner meeting a waste of time
"Blah, blah, blah" is how some people reacted to last week's meeting of the Willacy County Commissioners' Court.
The commissioners were to take action on regulating the eight-liners in the unincorporated areas of the county. Instead, they spent much of the time discussing when to hold a public hearing on the matter.
Eddie Gonzales, the Precinct 4 commissioner who lives in the eight-liners stronghold of Sebastian, made a motion to take no action.
He then recommended a public meeting, which was suggested earlier by County Judge Aurelio "Keter" Guerra.
At issue was a petition signed by about 50 people, asking the commissioners' court to regulate the eightliners and to enforce building, fire and electrical safety codes.
Guerra applauded the people behind the petition drive and added he would like to get input first from the public and from county employees.
"I have read a bill (passed to regulate the eight-liners) but I don't think we are prepared to do that," he said. "We can address this in a public forum."
In the meantime, Guerra said they can start looking at what other counties have done without a commissioners' court intervention.
But Stanley Gonzales, Cheto Garcia and Joe Salinas said the commissioners' court is treating the issue as something unimportant.
"Cameron, Hidalgo and Starr counties have been doing their share," he said, referring to the numerous raids on eightliners. "Why couldn't we do that here?"
Gonzales said an armed robbery and a shooting have taken place inside the casino parlors.
"One is too many," he said. "It's true this is a local enforcement issue but, on the other hand, this could be a joint effort to regulate the maquinitas."
After the meeting, the three said they were not impressed on how the meeting went.
"A public hearing," Salinas said. "That is not going to do a thing."
Meanwhile, two new eightliners have opened in the county.
One is Silver City along I- 69E where an old fruit stand stood previously.
The other has opened inside the old Tucker's BBQ building along Business 77 in Lyford.
The eight-liners are not giving up by any means, but now that the county is starting to look at how to regulate the industry, that could change.
Ryan Guillen, a member of the Texas House of Representatives and sponsor of a house bill that gives Willacy County authority to regulate eight-liners, said it's up to the county to do so.

Think about this: are the things you do each day habits or are you actively making decisions? Are you making specific choices or are you following cues?
Ever wonder why change is so difficult? Oftentimes it's because our habits get in the way. Our brains are trying to be as efficient as possible. When we start to do the same things over and over again, these actions and/or behaviors become something we do subconsciously or without second-guessing. Unfortunately, our brain doesn't differentiate between what's a good habit and what's a bad one. All things considered, habits help us feel safe. So how do we get over the bad in our efforts to change and furthermore, create new and improved habits?
We can start with these simple tips:
- Acknowledge they exist.
- Understand the cues.
- It's not just about breaking routines, but creating better ones.
- Build momentum with small wins.
- Don't forget to reward yourself.
- Take your time, it won't happen in a day.
New York Times reporter and author, Charles Duhigg states that every habit functions essentially the same way. It begins with a cue: something that triggers a certain behavior, which leads to a certain routine. These triggers can be a place, an emotion, or even a time of day. Once you figure out what the cue is, you can start to break down the routine and ultimately the habit to create better and new ones. One example would be getting motivated to exercise in the morning. If you set your workout clothes near your alarm or right next to your bed the night before, it will be the first thing you see and prompt your brain that a certain action needs to occur. This cue: seeing and having your workout gear close by, will trigger the behavior: getting up and going to workout. That's a simple way to improve your routine and be a little healthier in the process.
As you are making these improvements in your routine and creating new habits, don't forget to reward yourself. Make small changes at first, so you're not overwhelmed. If you love shopping, buy some new workout gear to motivate you. If you love sweets like me, reward yourself with some cake – just one piece though, we're not trying to reverse your hard work. Your brain will release endorphins with the excitement you feel from getting a reward. Over time you won't need to have the cake, because your brain will recognize this new habit and prompt the neurotransmitters that create a euphoric feeling after you exercise.
Last but not least, remember to be patient. The goal here is not just to eradicate your bad habits in one full swing (although that would be great), but also to understand the process. By acknowledging the cues in your life, you can understand the role they play on a daily basis. Albert Einstein once said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them." Habits aren't random nor are they resolute. As a matter of fact, many of our habits are formed from previous habits, whether good or bad. If we keep repeating the same things each day, these habits essentially form who we are, how we act, and everything we believe. It's always good to keep your habits in check.
Based on Charles Duhigg's New York Times Bestseller, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business.

I perhaps have taken on too many words; but within
this vacancy of days what else do I have at my
disposal to quell the hunger of time?
I count the books like pockmarks
on the face of the year;
freckled chapters,
poems hidden
in the cluster
of moles,
bleeding from
neat razor nicks.
The television holds
an unplugged mockery,
tempting me with reprieve from
the silence; if only silence was a viable
entity, I could shoot it down to sleep with my pen.

The first non-print adaptation of Superman was the Superman radio series, which debuted on February 12, 1940, according to the l og for this series on the Internet. The Adventures of Superman radio series originally depicted The Man of Steel arriving on Earth as an adult, and choosing the name Clark Kent at the suggestion of the first two Earthlings he met. This curious origin was later changed to comply with the comics version, although no mention was made of a Superboy career. The next medium that Superman conquered was the movies -- the Max Fleisher cartoon shorts which were shown in movie theatres before the main attraction. The first of these cartoons debuted on September 26, 1941, according to the log of the cartoons. No Superboy career was shown, naturally enough, since the cartoons ended in 1943, two years before Superboy first appeared in the comics. The Adventures of Superman radio series was cancelled in 1950, and (according to the book Total Television by Alex McNeil) production of the TV series starring George Reeves began in the summer of 1951, although the programs were not aired until early 1953. The first episode showed George Reeves as a young Clark, but there was no mention of a Superboy identity. (Cant remember if they mentioned Smallville or not. Somewhere I have this episode on videotape.)
All of this media depiction of Superman, so far, ignored Superboy. Finally, in 1961 (another source I saw said 1950, perhaps an error), a pilot episode of a Superboy series was filmed, titled Rajahs Ransom. A series of auditions for the main character was filmed and the auditions still exist and have been included on some videotapes with the Superboy pilot. Apparently the pilot, starring Johnny Rockwell as Superboy and Clark, was the only episode of the series produced and it was never aired. In the mid-1960s, a reader mentioned this failed series in a Superboy letters-page, asking if it would ever appear. The editor took the opportunity to plug an upcoming Saturday morning cartoon series which would feature Superboy. A log of the 1966-67 Superboy cartoons can be found on the Internet. Krypto appeared in these cartoons as well, and several stories were written by comics writers like Leo Dorfman and George Kashdan. In the mid-1980s, a videotape of these Superboy cartoons was released on videotape. More recently, in 1996, the USA cable network aired these Superboy cartoons as part of their Superman-Batman Adventures program.
Superman: The Movie in the late 1970s showed a young Clark Kent, but he did not have a Superboy career. A teenaged Lana Lang appeared in the first movie, and an adult Lana appeared in the third film.
Superboy was finally given the live-action treatment beginning on October 8, 1988 when the syndicated half-hour Superboy series debuted. During the first season, Superboy was portrayed by Johnny Haymes Newton. He was replaced by Gerald Christopher beginning with the second season. Lana Lang was portrayed by Stacy Haiduk. (A photo of Stacy as Lana can be found at a Sta cy Haiduk webpage.) The series ran four seasons, ending on May 18, 1992 with an episode appropriately titled Superboy -- Rest in Peace. During the shows run, villains such as Mr. Mxyzptlk (2/25/89), The Kryptonite Kid (10/14/91), and Metallo (10/21/89 & 4/8/91) appeared. Bizarro appeared in several episodes (Nov. 11 & 18, 1989; Oct. 4 & 11, 1990; and Jan. 13 & 20, 1992). The Yellow Peri, a female villain who was first introduced in New Adventures of Superboy #34 (Oct. 1982), was portrayed in the Jan. 20, 1990 episode. Logs for the live-action Superboy series can be found at the following sites:
In the early 1990s, a Superman Saturday morning cartoon debuted on CBS. Suprisingly, the series seemed more faithful to the current comics continuity. A short back-up story at the end of the show featured stories from Supermans Family Album which showed his life as a teenager in Smallville. According to the episode Ive seen, the young super-powered Clark had no Superboy identity. The recent Superman cartoon on the WB network depicted a young, super-powered Clark in Smallville, but no Superboy identity.
And what of the current, leatherclad Superboy? The only non-print incarnation of that character of which Im aware is the BBC Radio drama version of the Death of Superman storyline. The dramatization was titled Doomsday and Beyond and aired on BBC Radio around 1993. The Beyond portion of the shows title referred to The Reign of Supermen storyline, which was also dramatized for the series. Superboy was portrayed as a bit of a jerk, who complained about getting a rip in his jacket at the end of the show. The five half-hour episodes were combined onto a two-tape set when commercially released and is available as Superman Lives on WarnerAudio.
The new Superboy could have been portrayed on the Lois
& Clark TV series to interesting effect, but I take it
that there was no such appearance. Ive no idea
whether the new Superboy has appeared in the current WB
Superman cartoon or if he will appear in the upcoming
Superman movie. Its safe to say, however, that
Superboy will continue to make appearances in media
outside of the comics.

Thing You Need to Know About Oxycontin
Oxycontin is a very commonly prescribed medication for the relief of severe pain. It's often prescribed to cancer patients to help ease the pain they feel but even then it's to be ingested in very controlled amounts – typically not more than 30-40 milligrams per dose. The way this drug works is simple, it masks the pain from your brain, making you numb to the sensation.
Because of this numbing effect, oxycontin is frequently abused all around the world. People have been crushing and snorting it in dangerously high doses which can cause its side effects to manifest a lot faster than prescribed doses. The drug can be very addictive if taken regularly and even more addictive and damaging if abused. It's very clearly advised to not crush the tablets for this very reason. Because of how intoxicating it can be, oxycontin is now listed as a controlled drug and even if you're taking it with a prescription, if it shows up on your reports, you might be suspected of drug abuse. Traces of oxycontin stay in your system for up to 90 days especially in your hair.
However, it typically leaves your blood in under a week after you discontinue use. If you've been prescribed oxycontin for a while now, you might want to consider speaking to your doctor about a change in medication now so that you're safe from the addiction and the harmful side effects of the drug. Some of these side effects include laboured breathing, nausea, watery eyes and excessive sweating. Switching from oxycontin may improve your health quite a lot and will definitely keep you out of trouble with drug tests. Go speak to your doctor about this now and thank us later.

Open HOuse
If you ask the kids, the highlight of this week was probably Open House. The third graders worked hard to complete their Google Drawings listing some of their favorite things in life. This was the students' first Google Assignment, and they quickly proved that they were up for the challenge. They learned how to adjust text size and font, as well as create and manipulate text boxes. These basic skills will become very important as the year progresses, and we use Chromebooks more often in the classroom.
This week, the students were introduced to partner reading. This is a cooperative learning strategy in which two students work together to read a text. The students learned that it is important to sit close to their partner, and hold the text where both can easily see it. Also, we discussed the importance of staying focused and taking on the role of a teacher when a partner is struggling to read a portion of the text. Partner reading is a great way for students to improve their reading fluency, while working on their decoding skills.
Our first math unit is now in full swing. The students have been brushing off the addition and subtraction cobwebs, as they have begun adding and subtracting numbers within 1,000. The students are using multiple strategies to add two and three digit numbers. They are also becoming more comfortable using a blank number line to solve subtraction and missing addend problems. Over the next few weeks, the students will be keeping track of the number of items in our class collection. The students decided to collect coins. Our goal is to collect 1,000 coins. The amazing kids in 3S decided they wanted to collect the coins, and then donate our collection to a worthy charity. I reminded everyone that they should ask a parent before donating coins to the class collection.
Finally, the class has completed the lengthy process of creating our own 3S constitution. We spent some time learning about our US constitution. Then, working in groups, the students wrote "laws" for us to adhere to. These laws will help us be kind, respectful learners.

Editors Note 6th issue KL Magazine
Khao Lak on the move
Towards the end of the 2011/12 High Season, there were four new major developments in an advanced state of completion, the Sentido Gracelands Resort (268) on the northern end of Bang Sak Beach, the Mai Khao Lak (200) on the northern end of Pak Weeb Beach, the Sands by Katathani Resort (316) on Nang Thong Beach and the Sensimar Resort (140) on Sunset Beach. No-one would deny the importance of additional investment in Khao Lak but these new resorts plus others like the Monochrome and Blue Lagoon Resorts would add over an additional 1000 bed spaces when due to the previous world-wide recession and continuing economic difficulties in Europe many thought the existing capacity was more than sufficient.

Dear Readers,
Well, the new High Season is here! As usual it has been eagerly awaited by local businesses but as usual they hope it will bring more visitors than previous years. There will undoubtedly be a large number of returners, visitors of many nationalities who need no convincing of Khao Lak's wonderful appeal to them. However, the real hope is that there will be an increase in the number of new visitors and more will return in future years. Obviously some people already think that is going to happen with a huge investment in large new resorts that will open during this High Season to add to the existing great range of accommodation that Khao Lak offers for all tastes and budgets. KL Magazine will continue to do its best to play a part in getting more visitors to come to Khao Lak.

As always, what a great issue [Special report on planned giving, 03.23.05].
I really stay up to speed on what is going on through you and Philanthropy Journal. Thank you.
On the subject of "Getting started," just for the record, smaller nonprofits or nonprofits without planned-giving expertise can create an endowment for their organization at almost any community foundation.
They then have the full array of community-foundation services available to their donors.
It is a wonderful option in the scenario you described.
Such a fund takes about 10 minutes to set up.
Information about community foundations and a locator to find them are available on the web.

Treat yourself to the gold standard in natural hair care!
Argan Oil is called "Liquid Gold" for several very good reasons. Its golden hue is the most immediately obvious reason. But more than anything else, it's because Argan Oil is highly prized as the international gold standard for nourishing and restoring hair to health and beauty.
Experience the magic of Argan oil
Native to Morocco, the beautiful, flowering Argan tree (Argania spinosa L.) is the sustainable source of Argan Oil. This drought-tolerant tree yields a pulpy fruit with at least one small, hard-shelled seed at its centre. This "nut" is the source of Argan Oil. Moroccans eat it as food oil and use it topically to smooth and beautify their hair. Argan Oil is naturally rich in many nutrients including essential fatty acids (80% unsaturated), tocopherols (natural vitamin E) and antioxidants (phenols and carotenes).
What are Moroccan Moon Argan smoothing shampoo & conditioner?
Moroccan Moon is Prairie Naturals' newest and most exciting addition to our extensive line of salon-style natural hair care products. Enriched and fortified with concentrated, therapeutic amounts of Argan Oil, these luxuriant, yet affordable hair-smoothing shampoo and conditioner formulas provide instant, remarkable results for women and men alike.
You'll love how Prairie Naturals Moroccan Moon changes your hair!
Moroccan Moon Argan Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner noticeably transform your hair from frizzy and fly-away to smooth and silky. And that's not all. The exotic scents of natural ginger and coconut lift your spirits while healing your hair. You will absolutely love how Prairie Naturals Morocco Moon changes the life of your hair! We promise.
Pure & simple
Prairie Naturals Natural hair care products are never tested on animals! They are all made in Canada without the use of phthalates, BPA, parabens, sulfates, DEA, MEA, TEA, petroleum, petrolatum, alcohol, synthetic colours, artificial fragrances.

- Pouring equal parts bourbon and Vernor's ginger ale over ice yields one potent fucking drink. I'm sipping on my second one now, and I'm already kinda lit.
- I have achieved this week what has seemed nigh-impossible of late: I have managed to cook my own lunch to bring to work for the entire week. Usually, I drop the ball on either Monday or Wednesday evening, in preparation for the fucking Intro to Libel and Slander course. Today, though, I stopped by the grocery store in Tinytown to see if the offerings were any better than at the grocery store in the painfully anonymous suburb in which I live, and found not only some handsome bulbs of garlic, but also a 3 for $5 special on bunches of fresh basil leaves. I am inordinately proud of myself that I have a travel pack of 3-cheese tortellini and basil-spiked tomato sauce ready to tote to work tomorrow morning.
- To explain the above, I am slowly deducing that Tinytown, despite its diminutive size and relative isolation, has a better grocery store than my anonymous suburb. (Lest you think I'm kidding about the anonymity, I checked: there are towns with the same name as my suburb in more than a quarter of the United States.) The high proportion of over-educated (and, one might even say, snooty) CBU professors seems to have impelled the grocery store to carry a decent selection of fresh vegetables and herbs, including an impressive number of organically grown produce for a town in which almost everyone I see in a car seems to be smoking and/or advertising their membership in the National Rifle Association. When I confirmed that the basil wasn't on special because it was about to expire, I jumped on the deal. I may give up shopping at my local grocery store entirely, if I can buy better-quality produce in Tinytown right on my route from work to home. (Especially since my local stopped carrying Soyrizo. Motherfuckers.)
- Life back in Hometown kind of sucks right now. I'd be a lot more sober right now if I didn't have to dread going back to Hometown in a few weeks' time. I've heard enough bad news since Monday to last me for quite a while.
- Oh, hey! Did I mention that I'll be flying to Hometown from Cornstate a mere 36 hours after I return to Cornstate from the Big Giant Pseudology Conference? Or that I have a conference paper to write for said conference that I have only drafted in rough form? Or that I'm (tremble) going to spend an entire (godawful) week in Hometown before I can escape back to Cornstate? Or that the World is Ending during my visit? (Okay, that last part doesn't really apply to anyone except me and perhaps one or two other close relatives.)
- Spanish Prof suggested months ago that she and Fie Upon This Quiet Life and I all get shitfaced together at an opportune moment. Has she acted upon this suggestion yet? Nooooooooo. In fairness, however, she herself observed that she was "drunk as hell" when she said that. I choose to live in hope. And, at the moment, in hiccups.

Executive Summary
After extensive research, I was eager to buy a Sprinter van to begin my van conversion project. One popped up for sale online only a few miles from my house. So I jumped in the car that weekend and headed down to see it. Unfortunately, it had a few issues that I found difficult to ignore. As eager as I was to purchase a van and begin my project, I decided it was better not to bite at the first worm I saw.
The Details
I had been researching vans for a couple weeks now and settled on a Dodge Sprinter. This van was released under a few different brands and so I was really looking for a Dodge, Mercedes, or Freightliner Sprinter van. I decided that being able to stand up straight in the van was important to me and so I needed a high ceiling model which had a six-foot ceiling. I had also decided that I wanted something large enough to fit a two-person bed along with two mountain bikes. So I was now looking for a van with an extended cargo bay; 158WB (wheel base) or longer. I didn't realize at the time how difficult this would be to come by.
I began scouring the internet for a van that fit my criteria. Being in Ohio, I didn't want to look too close to home where we salt the roads all through winter. This results in anything more than a few years old beginning to rust. After a few days of searching, I found one that fit the bill and it was only an hour drive from home. I set out looking for something much farther away, but this one was so close to home and within my price range. The pictures made it appear that the van was in great condition with little to no rust. I had to at least check it out.
I was nervous that if I didn't move quickly, someone else would some along and purchase my dream van from me. So I called the dealer and arranged a test drive. One snag though, I didn't have cash on had to pay for it. I had planned to buy a van, but I didn't plan how I was going to actually pay for it. I could finance it through the dealer, but this place was one of those shady looking corner lot dealers that you find in the more run down parts of town. I wasn't about to finance anything through them. So I scrambled to secure a loan. My loan was approved on a Friday, the day before I had planned to go test drive the van. Phew!
Me and a couple friends that I had brought along (why buy a car alone?) arrived at the dealer later than planned. This typically wouldn't be a problem, but I had arranged for a local mechanic to inspect the vehicle and I had to make my appointment with him. So we got in the van and only had enough time to drive to the mechanic before handing it over to them. The van seemed to be in relatively good order. As the pictures suggested there was surprisingly little rust on it for having lived in this part of the country for more than ten years. There was one small problem we noticed, however. One the way to the mechanic's shop, the van wouldn't shift out of first gear. I thought that maybe there was some setting or trick to this vehicle that I wasn't familiar with. I wanted it to be nothing. So we dropped it off with the mechanic and went to grab a coffee while we waited.
An hour later the mechanic called me. He mentioned the transmission issue as well, but said that after he pulled over, shut off the engine, and restarted it, the transmission began shifting. Aside from that, he couldn't tell me what he thought might be the cause of this. Worthless! I knew that there was a possibility that it could be something small or something that could just be "lived with", but it could also be something big. I've done my fair share of fixing cars and transmissions are scary. So I did some quick Googling for worst case scenarios. In my mind, the worst thing that could happen was that the transmission needed to be replaced. How much might that cost? My Googled estimate… $4,000! Yikes! We returned to the mechanic to pick up the van and take it for a longer test drive ourselves. I was eager to buy and really wanted this to be the one. Even with the transmission issue, I still wanted to be optimistic.
We took the van for a drive through the local neighborhoods. I wanted to see how it felt to drive it through smaller, city streets. The transmission problem didn't rear it's head at all. Maybe there wasn't anything to be worried about. Then again, it did have its fair share of body rust. Further investigation showed that the floor in the cabin, between the drive and passenger seat, was almost rusted out entirely. Now a new floor would need to be welded in place.
After we spent some time driving it through the neighborhood, we returned the car to the dealer. I told them I would think about it and left, very disappointed. I had been so excited to buy a van a begin my project, but deep down, I knew that I shouldn't rush too quickly into such a large purchase. I could have negotiated the dealer down further on price, but I'm not sure if it would have been worth the cost and so I went home a little saddened.

the day i decided to kick fear to the curb
throughout my entire life, i've been the "play-it-on-the-safe-side" girl; i'm overly cautious and a meticulous planner, and i do my best to steer clear of anything that remotely resembles a risk. part of it, i'm sure, is just my personality, my nature–but it's more than that, and i know it.

sometimes people ask me about when i first got "saved", and i tell them the story of the old Pentecostal church and a preacher who spoke with a slow, Southern drawl. i was young, not yet 18 years old, and still finding sure footing in my new country, in my new family who had taken me in as their own. i sat in that church and listened to stories about Jesus, and then i … Read the rest

Infilink 16 Port 48V/120W POE Injector
Infilink 16 port PoE injector panel is used to provide POE for 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet. The upper Rj45 sockets is for LAN/Switch/PC connection and the lower RJ45 sockets are to deliver data and power to POE devices. Passive POE is combination of 16 sets of two Rj45 sockets and two 48V DC power jacks. Input power requires 160W or more dc power, the total POE output power must be lower than the MAX output power of power adapter. If not, it is necessary to consider using higher power adapter. The recommended formula for calculating maximum power requirement of POE power injector is 10W per RJ45 set (1 set = 2 x RJ45 sockets). For example, 16 x 10W = 160W for 16 port Passive PoE panel.
Key Features
It amazed me, insted of 15 POE injector i have installed one POE patch panel for 15 POE Cameras and worked very well (Posted on 8/7/2018)

Delighted with my purchase. Thank you I loved my first pair of fitflops but after several years constant wear they fell apart. I lasted a day without them but then ordered another pair from Shoetique. They were delivered next day and I am happy again - no more achey legs. Thanks Shoetique and the price was brilliant too.

Companies that follow best practices in data security have a risk assessment program. As outlined by the United States General Accounting Office (GAO), risk assessments "provide a basis for establishing appropriate policies and selecting cost-effective techniques to implement these policies. Since risks and threats change over time, it is important that organizations periodically reassess risks and reconsider the appropriateness and effectiveness of the policies and controls they have selected." When a company decides to store specific data, they inherently accept the risk by doing so-whether the company wants to or not.
If the data that a company stores happens to be credit card data (or more general, payment card data including the account number), then there are regulations, guidelines and even significant risks associated with this type of data. Companies that store such data, or have a third party storing it on their behalf, fall under the scope of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This standard specifically states that "the Primary Account Number (PAN) is the defining factor in the applicability of PCI DSS requirements. If a PAN is not stored, processed, or transmitted, the PCI DSS does not apply."
Reasons for data storage risks
So why are there significant risks involved with storing this data? It is because of the resulting ease and inappropriate use of such data if it were to be exposed or breached. According to Visa, hackers are looking for software that stores sensitive cardholder data as well as personal information to perpetrate identity theft. Hackers are also looking to track data and payment account numbers. By having the data in its possession, a company increases the possibility of and exposure to malicious activity against the company's data repositories.
Further reading
Moreover, it also doesn't matter the size of a company storing this possibly exposed data to the risks of hacker activities. Although data breaches resulted in the largest number of compromised accounts, small Level 4 merchants (those processing less than 20,000 e-commerce transactions annually) account for more than 85 percent of all compromised events. There is no immunity to any company in the hacker community. It's the data that is the main target of malicious activity.

Packers second-year WR Geronimo Allison has been suspended for the first game regular season for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse, according to Adam Schefter.
Allison, 23, wound up signing on with the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois back in May of last year. He was unable to make the 53-man roster coming out of the preseason but was later signed to their practice squad and eventually promoted to their active roster after Green Bay sustained some injuries at receiver.
The Packers brought Allison back on a one-year, $615,000 exclusive rights several months ago.
In 2016, Allison appeared 10 games for the Packers and caught 12 passes for 202 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Pro Football Focus has him down for playing 301 total snaps last year.

To make the brown butter, put the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until golden brown, about 6 mins. Transfer to a measuring cup, set aside.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg in a medium bowl. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until smooth, whisk in buttermilk and vanilla until combined. Add the flour mixture and the clear brown butter (pouring just the brown butter, trying to avoid all the black bits that will sink to the bottom) to the sugar & egg mixture; mix to combine but DON'T over mix.
Spoon batter into the pastry bag and fill the donut pan about 3/4 full. Bake the donuts until light golden brown and just baked through, about 8 mins; (They will be darker on the bottom, where the batter cooks against the pan). Set the pan on a baking rack and let cool for 10 mins.
Vanilla bean whip cream:
Beat 1/2 cup hesvy cream with 1 tbsp powdered sugar & 1/8 of a vanilla bean (split & seeds scrapped into cream).
Top with sprinkles!
Cinnamon sugar:
Mix 1 tsp cinnamon with 1 tbsp white sugar. Add more cinnamon or sugar to taste. Roll donuts in melted butter then cinnamon sugar!
Caramel glaze:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
Bring the sugar & butter to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often. Once smooth, remove from the heat. After one min, whisk in the cream then transfer to a bowl.
Dip donuts in glaze, eat straight up or top with toasted nuts.
Any left over caramel glaze can be stored in the fridge for two weeks. Use on ice cream or as a drizzle on muffins or other cakes! I have a gingerbread cake recipe that I top with this caramel. Also works with yogurt or a dip for apples!

Wrinkles are the sign of aging. The collagen present in the skin looses with aging. As a result, the skin appears wrinkled or creased. Although, appearance of wrinkles is a biological process, but free radicals and UV rays speed up the process. Before the wrinkles snatch the beauty of your face, treat them! You can overcome this problem at home with the help of natural remedies.
Let's understand the causes and symptoms of wrinkles.
Various factors are responsible for causing wrinkles, like:
- Ageing
- Smoking
- Free radicals
- Sun exposure
- Stress
- Lack of nutrition
- Genetics
- Dehydration
- Rapid Weight Loss
- Pollution
- Sedentary Life
- Lack of proper skin care
- Poor nutrition and diet
Wrinkles generally appear on the upper arms, hands, neck and face. The symptoms of wrinkles are:
- Deep furrows
- Crow's feet
- Fine lines
- Saggy face
Home Remedies for Wrinkles
Milk Powder
Take 2 tablespoons of honey, 4 tablespoons of milk powder and 2 tablespoons of warm water. Mix them all together. Apply it on the face and leave it for 10 minutes. Wash it off thoroughly. Honey will give your skin a glow while milk powder will make your skin softer and wrinkle-free.
Pineapple contains vitamin C, which is great for skin, especially if you are trying to get rid of wrinkles. Apply pineapple pulp on your skin. Leave it for 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly. You can also use pineapple juice to massage your face. Do this in a circular motion. It will improve the blood circulation, tone your skin, and remove wrinkles.
Tomato is a very effective home remedy for face wrinkles. Eat a tomato daily. This will tighten your skin and give your cheeks natural redness. You can also apply tomato pulp on your face and neck. It will give you instant brightening and younger looking skin.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is a great massage oil for your skin. It is a good source of antioxidants, like vitamins A and E, which fight skin-damaging free radicals.
- Regularly massaging olive oil onto the affected skin area will moisturize, repair and even regenerate skin cells. As the oil penetrates deep into the skin, it provides long-lasting protection and keeps it moisturized.
- Another option is to mix a few drops of honey with a few drops of olive oil and glycerin. Massage the mixture into your skin twice daily. This will eliminate dead cells and help tighten sagged skin.
You can also massage your skin with coconut oil, emu oil, almond oil or vitamin E oil to prevent and reduce wrinkles.
Coconut Oil
Applying coconut oil on to wrinkles will give your skin that much-needed moisture boost. Being packed with vitamin E and essential antioxidants, coconut oil works wonders with skin rehydration and rejuvenation. A good way to allow coconut oil to seep into your skin pores is by massaging it gently onto your face. Leaving it overnight on your skin will reduce fine lines and wrinkles while keeping it hydrated too.
The milky goodness of yogurt has made it an important part of our diet in the form of desserts, smoothies, and salads. But yogurt is also a rich source of lactic acid and alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA).4 AHAs help exfoliate dead skin cells and delay fine lines and wrinkles under the eye too. Make yogurt a part of your regular skin care routine and you will find out why it is one of the best natural home remedies for wrinkles under the eyes.
DIY Yogurt Face Pack
- 1 tbsp yogurt
- 1 tsp honey
- A few drops of rose water
Make a paste of the ingredients and leave it on your face for 20 minutes. Rinse off to unravel clear and radiant skin.
Honey & Lemon
Whether you intake honey or apply it externally, it works wonder. Take honey and lemon juice in an equal amount and mix them well. Apply it on your face. This will make your facial skin tight and wrinkle-free. This will also remove the tanning.
Else, wash your face with warm water and apply honey on your face. Rub gently, and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Then, after washing your face with warm water, rub an ice cube.
Take some rice powder. Mix rose water and milk in it so as to make a thick smooth paste. Apply this face pack on your wet face, and let it stay for 20 minutes. Wash off with cold water. This pack will tighten and brighten your skin, removing wrinkles.
Papaya is a very good option for removing wrinkles and fine lines. Take a piece of papaya and mash it. Add honey to it and apply it on the neck and face. It is a very effective natural remedy for wrinkles and will bring glow on your face.
Rose Water
Take turmeric and add honey and rose water in it. Make a fine paste and apply it on your neck and face. Repeat this once a week.
Note- Do not use this face mask more than once a week as it can make your skin dry.
Vitamin E Oil
Massage with vitamin E oil on the face on a daily basis can remove wrinkles, fine lines and crow's feet.
Egg White
Take an egg and separate the white part. Mix 2 tablespoons each of glycerine and rosewater in the white part and stir well. Apply this on your wrinkles. This is a very good home remedy for wrinkles on hands and face.
You can also apply egg white directly beneath the eye skin to cure the crow's feet.
Cleaning With Cool Water
Cool water has a milder effect on the skin. Washing your eyes and face with cool water slows down aging and improves blood circulation. Keep in mind the water just needs to be cool and not very cold, otherwise, it could hurt the capillaries in your skin. Also, your skin loves to be hydrated from within as well, so drink up those 8 glasses of water daily!

Driving Out the Demons
3 February was Setsubunn, the last day before spring by the lunar calendar. On this day, it is our custom to throw roasted soy beans to drive out the oni (demons =evil spirits). First, we shout, "Oni wa soto! (Demons out!)" and throw the beans outside from doors and windows, then shout "Fuku wa uchi!(Good luck in!)" and scatter the beans in each and every room. Then you're supposed to eat the same amount of beans as your age...but children always eat more!
They do this event in day-cares and nursery schools. It's very funny to see terrified small children running away from the demons (teachers dressed up with mask). Some boys may be brave enough to fight them off with beans...Holly leaves and the head of sardine are hang up above the entrance to scare away the demons (like garlic for Draculas?).
Spring is finally here. Well, first, we need to clean up the scattered beans.

I really have no idea if they really end up in the landfill, I haven't investigated that much. If anything it probably ends up in 3rd world countries ... But yes disposal of electronic and other toxic waste is free here (or the city/county pays for it which makes perfect sense if it actually has a benefit of less pollution etc.) but you do have to either take it to an waste disposal place or go to the regular roving events they have for electronic etc. waste disposal. I do. But I also see the apartment dumpster, not everyone is doing that ... that is why I am saying excavating the landfills seems like it will release a lot of toxins (maybe our robot overlords will have it all figured out by then though).Move to Middlesex County where disposal of all those things you mentioned are absolutely free. And they don't wind up in the landfill.
If you want something to get done, ask a busy person. If you want them to have a nervous breakdown that is.
Twice I have picked local trash collection companies and both time they have been bought up by Waste Management. I don't use curbside recycling, but take them to a separate recycle center. I roughly estimate that my collection fees have increased 50% over the last five or eight years. At first it was a fuel adjustment tax. Now they just bump up the rate every several months. I suspect much of this is due to increased landfill use fees. At my closest landfill the charge for a pickup full of waste loaded bed high is close to $50. I could almost see recycling as one of the tools to unplugging from Waste Management. But it's probably a fact that the more waste we generate the more expensive it's going to be to get rid of.
Switzerland apparently has a waste removal system run by the state government. The only bag you can use for refuse is the official sanctioned state bag. It costs 10 euros for one bag.....I figured that to be $12 ish. So nothing gets thrown away in the trash unless it's definitely not recyclable. I wonder if there is a black market for counterfeit trash bags?
A little inspiration for y'all. Y'all including me.
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it--every, every minute?" Emily Webb, Our Town
Let me just say that it's not a good idea to clean out your refrigerator on the same day you take a recycling class and toggle back and forth on a simple living board on the topic of recycling.
I'm disgusted with myself. A half a pint of pure Vermont maple syrup spilled all over one of the shelves. I had to wipe out two 1/4 full Tostito dip jars to prepare them for recycling. I had to get rid of 3 beautiful but well past prime peppers, a moldy half finished container of sour cream, and a whole bag of Trader Joe moldy spinach, and a couple of cups of dead mushroom soup (homemade). And that's not all.
I tell myself that much of this was leftover from over-shopping for my kids at Christmastime (yes, a month ago, but I've been busy this month), but it still grosses me out and doesn't make me feel good bout my own food waste habits.
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it--every, every minute?" Emily Webb, Our Town
instead of worrying about what happens to your waste when it is trucked away, try producing less
If everyone tried to reduce reduce their consumption as much as possible it would be a huge start
but here is some irony. A bottling company close by bottles our tap water to sell. I know people who wont drink our water but instead buy plastic bottles of water, who knows where they are bottled and shipped from. Ridiculous. Your city and county should have testing reports of what is in your water.

April 2009
Hunt, state leaders meet to address SBC health
Hunt, state leaders meet to address SBC health
April 1 2009 by Staff and wire reports
DULUTH, Ga. — Baptist state convention presidents were called together March 19 to discuss the health of the
Southern Baptist Convention
(SBC) with the president of the SBC.
The meeting, held at the Georgia Baptist Missions and Ministry Center in Duluth, Ga., drew 26 of the state convention presidents, including Rick Speas, president of the
Baptist State Convention of North Carolina
The convocation was the brainchild of Georgia Baptist Convention president Bucky Kennedy as a forum to determine how the national convention could position itself for revival and a "Great Commission resurgence" in the days ahead.
"I want us to build stronger relationship within our denomination and bring the younger generation along as we work and witness together," said SBC president Johnny Hunt.
Speas, pastor of
Old Town Baptist Church
in Winston-Salem, said the convention presidents want to see a fresh movement of God's Spirit in the SBC and the nation.
"The desire in our hearts was pretty much the same — praying that God will move among His people again," Speas said.
The presidents discussed how to maintain biblical Christianity in a secular world, Speas said.
"There was good conversation around the table about where we are as Southern Baptists," he said.
Kennedy said state convention presidents would love to see a new enthusiasm for the gospel mission across the SBC.
"Those presidents of the various state conventions are very much aware of where we are as a denomination," Kennedy said. "They long to see a spiritual awakening in our convention and nation. They also have a desire to see us engage in an aggressive church planting movement."
The state presidents were "in one accord," Hunt said.
"I did not hear any kind of disagreement expressed. The presidents from both of the Texas conventions were present and sat together," he said. "To me that was symbolic of the kind of harmony and togetherness we can experience as a denomination."
The Cooperative Program, the SBC's unified budget, also became a part of the discussion. While a strong commitment to the Cooperative Program was apparent among the men at the Duluth gathering, they also agreed the Cooperative Program should not be a requirement of fellowship or a litmus test for serving in the denomination.
Hunt asked: "How do we measure faithfulness to the Convention? Is giving 10 percent to the CP worthy of a badge of honor? Is giving less than 10 percent to the CP deserving of a badge of dishonor? I think we need to celebrate those churches that are growing and headed in the right direction.
"A church that is declining in numbers and giving, but committed to giving 10 percent of its undesignated receipts to the Cooperative Program, is headed in the wrong direction and will be giving less even though their percentage of giving is strong," Hunt said. "But a church that gives only 3 percent, but is growing in numbers and giving — buying land, constructing buildings and adding staff — will consistently be increasing their dollar amount to the CP."
At the same time, giving 10 percent of all undesignated gifts to the Cooperative Program "should not necessarily be the ceiling," Kennedy said.

This must be a REAL April Fool's joke of the saddest kind!! Those who want to seek a new movement of God in the SBC should look around and realize that YEARS, if not DECADES, ago they themselves ushered God and Jesus out of the SBC when they moved to put their trust in the "infallible and inerrant" Bible instead of the Son of God who gave his life for us. They themselves removed Jesus as the norm and criterion for our faith and wrote a new rag called the Baptist Faith and Message of 2000. They also ushered out any free thinking Christians who happened to be true Southern Baptists. This was all done because of the need to purge the denomination of the "liberals." Well, now 20 plus years later, what do we have? We have a denomination which has become an embarassment and is just a shell of what it used to be. Perhaps Jesus evaluation of the Pharisses would be apt and fit in here when He called them like the tombs which were whitewashed on the outside to look beautiful, while on the inside they are full of dead men's bones. (Matthew 23:27-28) I am quite glad to be out of the SBC and I thank you for showing me the door and causing me to see even more dillegently the Kingdom of God and not the Kingdom of Patterson, Pressler, Rodgers, Criswell, Stanley, Draper, Chapman, Hunt and etc.

I thought I would share some of my home-made sweets with you - not literally, unfortunately, since that would be rather difficult unless you lived nearby and popped in for a cuppa one day!
I made a selection of sweets for Christmas presents this year (2009 actually, so technically last year!) and gave them to my immediate family members in the cute little gift boxes pictured here. I bought the gift boxes flat-packed from Ebay and they are useful for anything that is difficult to wrap in the conventional way, so I will no doubt be going back for more soon!
I thought you might like to see the recipe for these tasty treats, too, so have included them here just in case.
The recipe for White Chocolate & Cranberry Fudge was taken from a free leaflet that came with the shopping one week from Tesco, and it was the first time I'd made it, but it was a huge success so I will be doing more throughout the year as birthday gifts for people.
White Chocolate & Cranberry Fudge
350g (12oz) granulated sugar
25g (1oz) unsalted butter
175ml (6fl oz) can evaporated milk
100g (31/2oz) dried sweetened cranberries
300g (10oz) white chocolate, chopped.
- Cut a piece of baking parchment large enough to line a 1kg (2lb) loaf tin. (I used a rectangular shaped lasagne dish, which worked just as well!)
- Put the sugar, butter and evaporated milk in a large heavy based pan. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved completely.
- Bring to the boil, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. It is a good idea to set a timer for this.
- Immediately remove from the heat then add the cranberries and chocolate
- Allow the chocolate to melt (the smaller the pieces, the quicker it will melt) then quickly stir the mixture and pour straight into the tin/dish. It will thicken immediately.
- Spread into the tin/dish (I used a silicone spatula for this) and chill for an hour or so until firm. Cut into squares.
I then placed small squares of parchment paper in between layers of the fudge in these little boxes:
These would also make a lovely gift for your loved one on Valentine's Day! (or you could pretend they are for your loved one and help with the eating of them yourself!
