The higher seeds had a good day and the blueboods — Kentucky and Kansas — won big, but on the first day of the N.C.A.A. tournament, no one won bigger than Gonzaga.
The Zags, the No. 1 seed in the West Region, backed up their top billing with an 87-49 thrashing of Fairleigh Dickinson in Salt Lake City on Thursday. Rui Hachimura, one of five Zags players in double figures, led Gonzaga (31-3) with 21 points.
Kentucky, a 35-point winner against Abilene Christian, and Kansas, which beat Northeastern by 34, were nearly as impressive, but then most of the higher seeds enjoyed the first round.
[Read our Day 2 coverage here.]
Of the 16 games played on the tournament's first day, only four lower seeds — ninth-seeded Baylor, the No. 10s Minnesota and Florida and No. 12 Murray State — pulled anything close to an upset. Mostly it was a day of scares and teaching moments for coaches of favored teams; the biggest individual highlight was provided by Murray State's sensational guard Ja Morant, who turned in a triple-double — 17 points, 11 rebounds, 16 assists — in an 83-64 win over Marquette.
Michigan Starts Fast and Never Looks Back
Last year mid-major Montana gave Michigan a brief scare in the first round, scoring the game's first 10 points before the Wolverines regrouped and advanced. Michigan Coach John Beilein reminded his players of that repeatedly after learning the Wolverines were paired again with the Big Sky Conference champion Grizzlies.
This time, Michigan jumped to a 10-2 lead never looked back in Des Moines. Charles Matthews had 22 points and 10 rebounds in his best performance since coming back from injury, and No. 2 Michigan put away Montana early in a 74-55 victory. Ignas Brazdeikis added 14 points and 7 rebounds, and Jon Teske had 11 points and 9 rebounds for the Wolverines, who led by as many as 27 points in the second half.
The Wolverines (29-6) are in the round of 32 for the third straight year. They will play Florida on Saturday.
Baylor Beats Syracuse in Battle of 3-Pointers
Taking advantage of gaps in each other's zone defenses, Syracuse and Baylor combined to make 19 shots from beyond the 3-point line — of 25 total field goals — in the first half of their West Region matchup in Salt Lake City, and then kept up that pace in the second half. Baylor won the 3-point battle, with 16 3s to Syracuse's 12, and that was most of the difference in the Bears' 78-69 victory.
Villanova Advances
Villanova lost four critical members of its championship team to the N.B.A. draft after last season, but the inexperienced Wildcats managed not only to capture the Big East title but also their opening-round game Thursday, outlasting Saint Mary's by 61-57 in the South Region. The No. 6 Wildcats endured the 11th-seeded Gaels' slow pace, playing at a tempo Coach Jay Wright called "excruciating," to win for the 14th time in 15 N.C.A.A. tournament games. Villanova anticipated a close game against St. Mary's, and coming off the conference tournament, where the Wildcats won their final two games by a combined 6 points, they felt comfortable in those circumstances.
"St. Mary's is one of the best in grinding out like that in close games," said guard Phil Booth, who led Villanova with 20 points. "You saw what they did against Gonzaga in their conference tournament. So the Big East really helped us for that."
Villanova will face Purdue, a 61-48 winner over Old Dominion, in the second round. Purdue's win capped a 5-0 day for the Big Ten, which has three more teams playing on Friday.
Wofford Earns First N.C.A.A. Win
Fletcher Magee led Wofford to the first N.C.A.A. tournament victory in school history.
A senior guard, Magee made seven 3-pointers and scored 24 points to lead the Terriers to an 84-68 victory Seton Hall in the Midwest Region. Wofford trailed by 54-53 with just over 10 minutes remaining but outscored the Pirates, 31-14, from there.
In the process, Magee became the most prolific 3-point shooter in Division I history, going past the mark of 504 set by Oakland's Travis Bader in 2014. Magee has now connected on 509 shots beyond the arc.
Wofford (30-4) was 0-4 in the N.C.A.A. tournament before its win over the Pirates (20-14). Its reward is a date with second-seeded Kentucky on Saturday.
Kentucky Coasts
It's all over in Jacksonville, where Kentucky has completed its thumping of Abilene Christian, 79-44. Keldon Johnson led the Wildcats with 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting.
Kentucky (28-6) will play Wofford, which beat Seton Hall by 84-68, on Saturday.
Gonzaga? They finished off poor Fairleigh Dickinson, 87-49. Rui Hachimura (21 points) and Killian Tillie (17) combined for 38 points — the exact margin of the Zags' victory.
Nevada's Experience Showing Up?
The Wolf Pack have one of the most experienced teams in the field, and they just cut their deficit against Florida to two points with 3:30 left. The twins Cody Martin (23 points) and Caleb Martin (16) have led the charge tonight.
UPDATE: Experience only goes so far. Poor shot selection and some Florida free throws and it's all over: Florida wins, 70-61. Nevada will be bitterly disappointed — again. The Martin twins had 28 of Nevada's second-half points. Their teammates had only five in the final 20 minutes.
Pray for Fairleigh Dickinson
It has been nine days since Gonzaga last played and apparently the long wait — with some saltiness built in after being upset by St. Mary's in the conference tournament championship game — was just what the Zags needed.
They have overwhelmed Fairleigh Dickinson thus far, cruising to a 53-17 halftime lead.
The lopsided margin might not have been that unexpected for a No. 1 seed playing a No. 16, especially one that had to survive a play-in game in Dayton on Tuesday night, fly to Salt Lake City and adjust to the altitude.
But the most encouraging note for the Zags is the crisp play of Killian Tillie, their multiskilled but oft-injured big man. He scored 10 points, making both 3-pointers he attempted, and also kept the ball flowing with crisp passes and moved his feet well on defense.
Tillie has missed much of the season with a stress fracture on his ankle and then plantar fasciitis. But on Thursday night, he looks a picture of health. The Zags look even better. BILLY WITZ
Ja Morant Watch: Ja Morant Is Really, Really, Really Good
Morant finished with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists, and Murray State, the 12th seed in the West, closed out its first-round tackling dummy Marquette, 83-64. If you haven't seen Morant play yet, make a point to clear some time Saturday to see him and the Racers take on No. 4 Florida State.
Three teammates joined Morant with double-digit point totals, led by the freshman Tevin Brown, who scored 19.
Marquette's Markus Howard, one of the nation's top scorers all season, led all players with 26 points, though he was only 4 for 14 on 3-pointers.
Murray State had other notable performers, including guard Shaq Buchanan and forward Darnell Cowart. But Morant was the undeniable star, making passes of unsurpassed creativity — to the point that his teammates could not always handle them. Any doubts about his N.B.A. draft stock were dispelled. If it weren't for Duke's Zion Williamson, he might be considered a possible No. 1 overall pick. MARC TRACY
Ja Morant Watch: Ja Morant Is Really, Really Good
Morant has a triple-double now: 15 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds. Murray State's leads over Marquette is 75-57 with 3:43 left.
Ja Morant Watch: Ja Morant Is Really Good
What was billed as a heavyweight fight within a basketball game did not disappoint through the first half in Hartford, as Murray State's Ja Morant and Marquette's Markus Howard traded baskets while their teams played largely to a draw, with Murray State up by 42-35 at halftime.
Each star was clearly his team's best player. Marquette's Howard, the 3-point-happy junior, led all scorers with 16 points, 9 of them off 3-pointers. Murray State's Morant, who entered averaging 10 assists a game, was well on pace to best that, with eight already. He also had 10 points, on six shots, and 4 rebounds.
Near the end of the half, Morant slashed toward the hoop and, while underneath it, acrobatically leapt and squeezed a pass between two defenders to teammate Tevin Brown, who caught it and made a 3-pointer to put the Racers up 6. Later, Morant threw an alley-oop to a cutting Devin Gilmore. MARC TRACY
Kansas Romps
Kansas finished off Northeastern, 87-53, and believe us, it wasn't that close. Dedric Lawson had 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Kansas dominated inside.
The fourth-seeded Jayhawks (26-9) had a big size advantage inside and took full advantage of it, outscoring the Huskies by 50-16 in the paint while grabbing 17 more rebounds. Kansas shot 56 percent from the field.
The Big Ten Is Celebrating
Michigan State Coach Tom Izzo had a right to be nervous. No. 15 Bradley, making its first N.C.A.A. tournament appearance in 13 years, hung with his No. 2-seeded Spartans throughout their first-round game Thursday, and Izzo was even more frenetic than usual dealing with his players and the officials.
Then Matt McQuaid hit a 3-pointer and Aaron Henry converted a floater from the lane on consecutive possessions in the final four minutes, spurring the Spartans to a 76-65 victory over the Braves. Michigan State (29-6) advanced to Saturday's East Regional second round against fellow Big Ten Conference member Minnesota. The Spartans and the Gophers met only once during the regular season; Michigan State won by 24.
Bradley (20-15), the Missouri Valley Conference champion, led by 35-34 at halftime on the strength of six 3-pointers, then added the first two baskets of the second half on a layup and dunk by Elijah Childs (19 points, 6 rebounds). The lead went back and forth until two foul shots by Cassius Winston with 6:24 to play began a decisive run of nine consecutive points for Michigan State. Winston finished with a game-high 26 points.
Henry's floater in the run made up for a thunderous dunk attempt that clanged high off the rim and out of bounds minutes earlier. Bradley never led again. Xavier Tillman added 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Spartans, who made 25 of 26 foul shots.
Around the same time, sixth-seeded Maryland, fifth in the Big Ten this season, rallied to beat No. 11 Belmont, 79-77. Belmont actually had the ball last, but turned it over on an ill-advised pass in the lane with only seconds left. Maryland (which faces L.S.U. on Saturday), Minnesota and Michigan State are all in the same corner of the East Region bracket. PAT BORZI
Florida State Holds Off Vermont, 76-69
Despite the right game plan and a virtual home crowd in Hartford, Conn., No. 13-seeded Vermont failed in its upset bid of No. 4-seeded Florida State in a long, grinding game that served as a reminder that, sometimes, many times even, Goliath wins.
The Seminoles will play the winner of Murray State-Marquette on Saturday.
Beginning the second half tied, Vermont broke out to a small lead, which Florida State slowly erased. Florida State, rather than attempt a bevy of 3-pointers, a strategy that backfired in the first half as they went just 2 for 8 from deep, instead pounded the ball inside again and again to big men like the 7-foot-4 Christ Koumadje and Mfiondu Kabengele, who led all players with 21 points.
When guard David Nichols hit Kabengele for a fast break dunk to give the Seminoles a 50-45 lead with around nine minutes left, the advantage seemed weirdly insurmountable. In the final minutes, Florida State drew a few fouls and went on a 7-0 run to put the game out of reach. MARC TRACY
Auburn Survives
New Mexico State, inbounding the ball under the Auburn basket with 1.1 seconds left, somehow stumbles into an open 3-pointer in the corner. But Queen's rushed shot is an airball, and that's that.
Auburn lives, 78-77.
Whew. What a finish. Best of the day so far. But not one Auburn will be especially proud of, no matter what Coach Bruce Pearl told his team.
"You won the basketball game," he said in the locker room afterward. "They didn't lose it."
New Mexico State was left to rue all those chances, especially that last one to win the game. But Coach Chris Jans said he was proud of his team for making a game of it even when all seemed lost.
"We all understand this is big boy stuff and there's no moral victories," Jans said. "But at the same time, I think a lot of teams would have picked up their tent and went home. They were fighting and scratching and clawing and they finally put themselves in a position to have a chance to win the game." BILLY WITZ
A Lifeline for the Aggies!
Auburn goes 1 for 2 at the line, and New Mexico State rushes the ball upcourt with six seconds left. Eschewing an open layup — and overtime — for a Terrell Brown 3-point attempt. Auburn, for some reason, FOULS HIM!
Brown missed the first attempt, made the second, missed the third on purpose — but the rebound goes out of bounds and New Mexico State will get one final chance!!
Auburn alum Charles Barkley, watching in the studio, is not handling the tension well.
New Mexico State Is Throwing a Real Scare Into Auburn
New Mexico State is scaring the heck out of Auburn. After forcing a turnover, Trevelin Queen hit a deeeeeep 3-pointer from the left wing to cut the Tigers' lead to 1 in the final minute, but two Auburn free throws — and one N.M.S.U. miss at the other end — seemed to be the cushion No. 5-seeded Auburn needed to escape.
But New Mexico State just hit another 3 to cut the lead back to 1 with 6.8 seconds left.
Nervous moments coming up.
Yale Runs Out of Time, and L.S.U. Advances
The Bulldogs, who trailed by 9-0 and by 16 points at halftime, could not come all the way back against L.S.U., which made enough free throws down the stretch to win, 79-74.
Skylar Mays led the Tigers with 19 points, and Kavell Bigby-Williams (10 points, 10 rebounds) and Naz Reid (14 points, 10 rebounds) both had double-doubles.
What looked as if it would be a romp in this matchup of universities tainted by separate scandals in recent weeks became a taut affair in the waning minutes, as the 13th-seeded Bulldogs whittled an 18-point deficit to as few as 3 points before the No. 5 Tigers escaped.
L.S.U. overcame the absence of its coach, Will Wade, who is suspended after he was connected to a recruiting scandal, with balanced scoring. Yale featured one of Division I's better offenses, ranking ninth in field-goal percentage, but the Bulldogs' poor shooting doomed them. They shot 37.5 percent over all and, until drilling four in the final minute, made only four of their first 30 3-point attempts.
Alex Copeland paced Yale, whose athletic department was drawn into a massive admissions fraud scandal last week, with 24 points. BEN SHPIGEL
Minnesota Upsets Louisville, but Not The Usual Way
Amid all the drama over Minnesota, Louisville and Pitino family business, one telling statistic was easily overlooked.
While Rick Pitino's teams made their name with effective 3-point shooting, his son Richard brought a Gophers team to the N.C.A.A. tournament that had struggled behind the arc all season. Minnesota took the court Thursday ranked 291st in the country in 3-point percentage.
And yet, as things unfolded, Minnesota won in the most Pitino way. The Gophers made 11 3-pointers, including five by the streaky-shooting freshman Gabe Kalscheur, in an 86-76 victory in Des Moines.
Kalscheur (24 points) led five Gophers in double figures, and the junior guard Amir Coffey added 18 points, three 3-pointers and six rebounds. Dupree McBrayer, Coffey and Kalscheur combined for five 3-pointers in one stretch of the first half to put Minnesota in front for good.
The N.C.A.A. Squad That Just Can't Win
What's black and white and tread all over? An N.C.A.A. tournament referee.
The referees, in fact, are the only one team guaranteed to make the Final Four every year, but the job isn't getting any easier. They, and officials in a variety of sports, have become leading characters in the passion play of American sports, from the N.F.L. to tennis to even the Little League World Series.
Few places can match the high-speed pressure cooker of a college basketball arena, where the abuse comes from well-paid college coaches who scream and shout and preen, and from fans who follow their lead.
Read John Branch's article about the officials here.
Syracuse Suspends Guard Frank Howard
When Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim sat down to speak with reporters on Wednesday afternoon in Salt Lake City, he took a deep breath, let out a long exhale and squinted into the T.V. lights at the back of the interview room, as if to say, "not again."
Syracuse had just announced that the senior point guard Frank Howard had been suspended "for an indefinite period of time" and would not play in Thursday's first-round West Regional game against Baylor.
"Very difficult to make that change now," Boeheim said.
Boeheim knows this from experience. In 2012, Fab Melo, then the No. 1-seeded Orange's starting center, was declared academically ineligible just before the tournament. In 2005, two reserves were suspended for failing drug tests just before Syracuse's first game; the Orange were upset by 13th-seeded Vermont that year.
The loss of Howard is significant. He has a team-high 84 assists and had been playing well lately, scoring 28 points in an A.C.C. tournament loss to Duke — a game in which he appeared to try to trip the Duke star Zion Williamson. BILLY WITZ

Notary Public
A Notary Public is a public officer constituted by law to serve the public in non-contentious matters usually concerned with estates, deeds, powers-of-attorney, and foreign and international business. Notaries are public officers and they can act as a legal advisor in many areas like real-estate law, and business law. A Notary Public also deals with estate planning or making a will.
As we said, Notaries are public officers. As a public officer, a Notary can also Certify and draft documents which are considered "authentic". If the original of a document is held by a Notary, the chances of it being lost go down considerably.
Notaries can also act as a mediator, which means that a Notary can also act as a neutral third party between two or more parties to resolve their dispute and reach a voluntary settlement.
Responsibilities of a Notary Public towards clients:
A Notary should build a trustworthy relationship with clients. A notary should be honest, frank and objective. A Notary should respect professional secrecy, and must provide the best service and information to their client. Before providing any services to the client a Notary should explain all the ins and outs of the job or service they are getting done (in case they are not able to understand it).
To make my clients happy and to provide the best service I always ensure that my client understand what they are signing, or getting into. For example, if a client wants to buy a house and they do not have the proper information, then it is my responsibility to first provide all the information to the client so that they feel comfortable and they feel free to make decisions without any doubts.
If you need any type of notarial service please call me @ 604-503-3853. I will make sure that you have all the information to make the best decision and it will be my responsibility to take care of your needs and to provide the best service to you.

Mama Bear: a well-meaning mother who scolds teachers, shames coaches, and "helps" other parents by delivering never-ending advice about how to protect her kids.
You are 2018's Helicopter Mom. I know. You desperately want to save the next generation from the evils of volunteer coaches, minimum-wage lifeguards, and teachers who yell.
Please stop. You are teaching your kids to be very afraid. Also self-righteous. We don't need more of either of those.
First, about the "protecting." You are teaching your kids that the world is very scary. Your kids want to please you. They will dutifully learn to be scared.
Here ares some life examples from our corner of the suburbs…..
Mama Bear: "When I saw that Girl Scout leader was serving chicken nuggets that had been sitting out, I told her my child wasn't eating any."
Mama Bear: "I told my son that if the coach doesn't give him a batting helmet, he doesn't have to play."
Mama Bear: "I've said to my kids that we will not jump at any trampoline park that hires employees who don't pay attention."
Moms, our job is to raise the next generation to bravely serve their communities, to conquer their fears, to advocate for the truly marginalized, and to love those who need it the most. Kids cannot do that if they are afraid someone is trying to poison them with chicken nuggets.
But, Mama Bears, there's a bigger problem here. You are killing kindness in your kids by setting up a volatile relationship between your child and the rest of society.
This is the constant refrain from these well-meaning moms:
Mama Bear: "So, I emailed the principal and explained how he is shaming my child."
Mama Bear: "When I heard that the teacher yelled at my child, I was up there before the end of the day, informing her that she has no right to treat my baby like that."
Mama Bear: "I stayed after practice and let the coach have it for making our kids stay out there in the rain."
Kindness is the exact opposite of self righteousness. It is humbleness. It is sacrifice. It's not teaching your kid to repay yelling with yelling. It's the golden rule of treating others like you want to be treated.
But most of all, kindness is grace.
Because here is the truth…we are all so flawed. Teachers lose their tempers. Coaches shame the slow kids. The Girl Scout Leader has a migraine and zero patience. That one mom forgot to invite your kid to the movie night. Lifeguards don't see it when the pool-bully dunks your daughter.
There is something you can do. Every single person in your path needs your grace.
The teacher who wrongly accused your kid of talking during the math test? Just skip the angry voicemail. The reality is that your kid probably was talking yesterday. She's fine.
The losing basketball coach who doesn't do the drills you suggested? Instead of holding him after practice to tell him how to do his job, sit in the stands and cheer for your daughter's team.
The kid who called your daughter a four-letter word at recess? Calling his mom is probably not going to change much. In fact, you will be the punchline of that mom's joke. Four-letter words aren't a big deal in their house. This is what diversity looks like.
And the mom who is serving cheese with a bit of mold on the corner? She doesn't know and she is just doing her best. Scrape off the moldy bit and eat it. You won't die, I promise. Plus you will have taught your kid a little about being a gracious guest, about the resilience of her immune system, and–most importantly–about being kind.
Let's all chill-out a bit and see what happens….
Christina Hergenrader

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'suspension and steering' tag.
Bushings are cushions made of rubber, polyurethane (often shortened to "poly" or "urethane") or other materials. They're mounted on car suspension and steering joints to absorb road bumps, control the amount of movement in the joints and reduce noise and vibration. Bushings often take the form of fat, rubbery washers through which suspension components — or the bolts that attach them — pass.
When bushings wear, they allow more movement. The driver may feel a shimmy from the front of the vehicle, or hear clunking or rattling noises on rough roads, when turning the wheel or in hard braking. Drivers may also experience poor handling or loose steering. Failure of rear suspension bushings may be harder to detect as they don't involve the steering system and may be less affected by cornering.
Bushings are used for control arms, stabilizer bars (also called sway bars), ball joints, tie rods, shock absorber and strut mounts, and other suspension and steering parts, as well as in engine and transmission mounts. They wear and crack from friction, age, heat, exposure to road salt and lubricants, and the stress of frequent movement and weight loads.
Like the cartilage that protects knees and elbows, when bushings wear, it puts more stress on the joints and connected parts. Like bone-on-bone contact, worn bushings can allow metal-on-metal contact. Worn control-arm bushings can allow the vehicle's front end to slip out of alignment and cause premature tire wear.
What feels or sounds like worn shocks or ball joints, or another suspension problem, may not be the fault of the part itself but the bushing that cushions joints and mounting points. A thorough suspension bushing inspection should reveal which is the culprit. For example, a loose stabilizer bar will allow more body lean (and perhaps noise) in turns, but if the bar isn't bent or broken, maybe only the bushings need replacement.
On the other hand, repair shops may recommend replacing the part and not just the bushings, because if the are worn, it may indicate the part itself is old and may not last much longer. In addition, many bushings are pressed into a metal sleeve and difficult to remove, which increases labor time and costs. On some cars, control-arm bushings cannot be replaced separately, so the mechanic may have to replace the control arm itself.
A bushing is one classification of the overall category of bearings. A bushing is a thin tube or sleeve that allows relative motion by sliding (our type), as compared to rolling. A bushing might also be called a sleeve bearing. However, the term sleeve bushing would be redundant. Thus, a bushing is a bearing, but a bearing is not necessarily a bushing type.
A bearing is the general term for something that allows relative motion between two components, surfaces, etc.
Because of the amount of labor associated with installing new bushings on some vehicles, the overall cost can be high relative to the bushings themselves. New bushings, though, can markedly improve the ride and handling of a vehicle that's been in use for several years.
If you feel like your suspension system needs repair, please bring your vehicle into any one of our three locations of Sierra Car Care and Tire Centers in the Reno area and one of our ASE Certified Technicians will take care of you.

The Greenhouse Analogy
When I discovered that thermal conduction was underestimated as an impact of CO2 I was not particularly surprised. Having worked in Heating and Air Conditioning for many years, I am used to looking for system inefficiencies and ways to take advantage of natural heat sources and sinks. What was surprising is how much the atmosphere does behave as a Greenhouse.
The radiant effect is of course the main concept that rules the greenhouse roost as far as climate science is concerned. Builders of real greenhouses know that ground source energy, reduced convective loss and insulation are just as important as the radiant effect in trapping heat.
Dr. Roy Spencer, is one of many that has built and experiment to measure the impact of Down Welling Long wave Radiation. In his experiment, Ambient temperature and dewpoint remained more stable than the radiant temperature he was measuring. The relatively steady conduction of surface temperature to the surface air, stabilized the local ambient conditions. This would indicate that surface/air conductivity is not negligable with respect to DWLR since in effect, DWLR is dependent on the surface emission of thernal flux.
Convection in the atmosphere is somewhat limited by water vapor and clouds. That sounds counter intuitive, since clouds and rain are the most obvious convective events. Warm moist air rises from the surface as it is heated, most often by solar energy at the surface. What is not so obvious is that sunlight absorbed by the water vapor and clouds in the atmosphere tends to stabilize the air above the latent shift layer of the atmosphere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_boundary_layer This layer is known as the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) or Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL).
While the atmosphere below the ABL is subject to considerable turbulence from local thermals, the drag of the surface reduces wind speeds. The area below the ABL is a quasi-laminar flow region in many cases. In other words, there is less convection than there would be without the latent shift of energy from the surface to the APL.
The latent shift also regulates the radiant impact of solar energy by shifting the ratio of solar absorbed at the surface versus in the atmosphere. Water in the form of liquid and ice above the APL has a more open radiant window to cool than it would below where the outgoing radiation would interact with water and water vapor above.
As in a greenhouse, the surface to air boundary is responsible for most of the energy that can be retained when solar absorption is not optimum. Since water vapor has a limited half-life in the atmosphere, more water vapor implies more precipitation which enhances the thermal transfer from the surface both via latent and conductive processes.
Apparently, Carbon Dioxide also improves the surface/air thermal conduction both as CO2 in the air and as Carbonic Acid in the oceans, ice and in moisture laden air. The small conductive impact is completely over looked, yet has the potential to greatly impact surface cooling with improved thermal transfer.
Because the conductive impact is at the surface and the true radiant impacts well above the surface, conductive change has 30 to 40 percent more impact per unit change than radiant impacts which have to compete with water vapor in order to transfer energy to the surface.
The Greenhouse Analogy is much better than I would have ever thought.

Meet the Bega Electorate Candidates Meeting Wednesday 6
Tuross Progress Association
Reproduced from 350.org . . .
About 100 community members attended the Meet the Candidates Meeting on Wednesday night. The Tuross Progress Association expressed great disappointment that the Liberal Candidate, Andrew Constance, did not attend the meeting, especially as he was in Moruya earlier in the afternoon
The key issues raised by members of the community were around transport and the natural environment.
A representative from the Nature Coast Marine Group and a recreational fisherman expressed dismay at the unilateral announcement by the Liberal Candidate that 4 sanctuaries will be removed from the Batemans Bay Marine Park. That a community process driven by local people was overridden by Macquarie St.
All 3 candidates who attended, Leanne Atkinson, Labor, Will Douglas, Greens and Coral Anderson, Animal Welfare all stated their support for sanctuary zones as critical to ensuring healthy fish populations. Disappointment was expressed that the current Coalition Government is allowing massive logging of the South East Forests at Taxpayers expense. Will Douglas from the Greens stated that their policy was to phase out native forest logging over the next ten years and move to plantation forestry.
Questions were asked about the lack of public transport, the need to improve the safety of the highway and bike lanes on roads. Leanne Atkinson, Labor said that they will provide $412m for active transport infrastructure (pedestrian and cyclists) including shared paths and cycle paths. Communities want facilities for active transport. We need pedestrian refuges in towns like Mogo, Bodalla, Cobargo. William Douglas, Greens said we need more black spot funding to make our highway safer. We need to extend the rail line from Bomaderry for both freight and passengers which will make the highway much safer. We need small electric buses/vans to provide enhanced public transport and that bike lanes be mandatory in all planning.
Other topics included the need for initiatives to improve health services now, while a new regional hospital is being built. Leanne Atkinson, Labor gave a commitment to mandate nurse to patient rations, eg 4 patients per nurse in surgical wards and 3 patients per nurse in maternity wards
All candidates attending the forum supported more funding for TAFE included TAFE teachers as students need face to face training.

Next Big Thing Blog Chain: The "Self"-Interview
by nicolecallihan
I was recently invited by writer Sarah Dohrmann for The Next Big Thing blog chain "self-interview." Here's Sarah's post. And here's mine (questions stolen from Sarah whose friend Quintan Ana Wikswo revised them from the original, which makes me wonder, how can I befriend this very pithy Quintan?):
Let the sun in; or just Let the sun; or maybe valentine; or terrarium. What do you think? If you help me name it, I just might dedicate it to you.
I'm really sorry about your concussion; does it allow for semicolons?; these are poems; they are about waffle houses and my mother and a lot of people I used to love and some people I still love very much, and there are ducks and hoho's and Bingo games, but also an abiding belief in miracles and poems; this must be hurting your head; can I get you a glass of water?; have you read this poem?; gosh, it's good.
On the shelf with the poems.
Uhm, I'm not really into pills.
It's really my only way of understanding the world. When I'm talking I get too distracted by the windows. Writing makes me see through the glass.
I would love for my book to ride on the f-train. If it did, it would crawl into the lap of whomever was reading it and bury its pretty little head in the crook of that reader's neck, and it would say, thank you for holding me so carefully and being so gentle with my spine; and if the reader was tired, say because he had worked a very long day, my book would sing the reader lullabies until they both woke up at the last stop. There, at Coney Island, the reader could tuck my book into a bag, or maybe even into a pocket very close to his heart, and then the reader could walk along the boardwalk taking in the sun and wondering if there had ever been a more beautiful day.
Next up on The Next Big Thing:
Cricket Desmarais is a poet, writer, yoga instructor and creative coach living on the South coast of Connecticut with her family and naughty black cat. A creative and commercial freelancer with an MFA from NYU, she is most enthusiastic about the completion of a poetry manuscript, a historic novel set in the Florida Keys and Cuba, and a blog about upping your sparkle ante.

This eyeliner is really easy to apply due to its thin brush tip and it stays on pretty well. After several uses, though, the eyeliner color doesn't seem to apply as vibrantly as it did before. Requires vigorous shaking before use. Also, the container size is rather small so I wound up going through the entire product rather quickly. I would attribute that to the product itself drying out in the container a lot faster than other liquid eyeliners I have used. Still, the product stays on my eyelids all day, so I approve!
love it bold long lasting and comes off easily with makeup remover,
I have been using this eyeliner for awhile. It's ok. I like it but don't love it. The pigmentation though is pretty good. I still set with a black shadow
I always use this eyeliner. It take a bit to get us to it, especially if you don't have the most steady of hands. It will last all day look and I always get compliments on my application. I tend to do a thin line. It lasts me quite a while but I purchase a new one monthly for sanitation reasons. It's a great price and you can always find coupons at your local supermarket.
This eyeliner is great. It goes on good.
good quality and lasts all day
Because I use Colorstay foundation & love it, I decided to try the colorstay eyeliner. IT stays on alright... but it seemed to make my eyes burn (I just line my top lid, never the bottom) and my eyes arent even sensitive. By the end of the work day my eyes were so red I looked either high or drunk-- just partied out!!! So now it just sits around in my makeup bag.. maybe I'll try it again, if its not dried up by now lol..
After the days ended it starts flaming a little bit. But everything else about it is good.
Wonderful concept. It does last longer than my pencil, however it does wear off and cause irritation to my eyes by the end of the day.
It's a good product I just always find a way to mess it up!
i love it because it last all day and doesn't smudge.

The typical size of a down payment varies greatly depending on the local real estate market. According to a survey by Realtor.com, the lowest average down payment is just 6.8 percent in Virginia Beach, VA. At the other end of the spectrum, home buyers in San Jose, CA plunk down an average of 23.9 percent when buying a home.
Home Loan Down Payment Grant Construction To Permanent Loan Down Payment At our company, we have worked out a new construction/permanent financing arrangement where buyers are able to put as little as 25% of the lot price as a down payment, plus $5000 for project start up, as opposed to 5% – 20% of the entire project cost.Downpayment Plus (DPP ) and Downpayment Plus Advantage (DPP Advantage ) offer Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBank Chicago) members easy-to-access down payment and closing cost assistance to help their income-eligible customers achieve homeownership.These programs give our members: The opportunity to maintain and expand their customer base
While former president Barack Obama pushed through the affordable care act and managed to bring down the number of uninsured.
The answer was always the same: "loser" or "hopeless". With approximately one-third of Australian schoolchildren experiencing.
Although, to be fair, most lenders aren't raising or dropping their rates up and down, you know, every month or every.
Traditionally, an average down payment has been fixed as 20% of the purchase price. However, the percentage of down payment varies between 5% to 20%. With the recent boom in real estate prices, the lending institutions have become more lenient, and now, they allow a down payment, which is as low as 3%.
There are special programs that offer low and no down payment at all. Conventional and Jumbo loans could require a down payment as high as 20% or more. The last data pulled from 2016 shows that the average down payment on a house was about $14,000, or 6% of the purchase price.
Conventional Mortgages Down Payment Making the minimum down payment on a conventional loan requires private mortgage insurance, or PMI, when the down payment is less than 20 percent. The conventional down payments of 3, 5, 10, 15 percent and anything in between, result in an annual premium you must pay to insure the lender in case of default.Conventional Loan Down Payment Assistance · Homeowners who choose the conventional 97% ltv loan option will end up with a great fixed interest rate, and after paying down the loan balance, no more PMI. 97% LTV Home Purchase program rates. mortgage rates for the 3% down payment program are based on standard Fannie Mae rates, plus a slight rate increase.
What is the typical down payment on a house? This is a common question we receive from our readers. So we sent an email survey to 15 mortgage lenders across the United States, to get their input on the subject.
We look at the required down payment for several different types of mortgages, as well as the average down payment on a house. W hen we bought our first home back in 1993, we did so with a down.
A mortgage downpayment is the money you pay at settlement which goes toward the cost of your new home. Mathematically, it's the dollars between your home's purchase price and your size of mortgage.
So, what's the average down payment on a house in 2019 in Colorado? It takes a lot of planning when it comes to buying a home in Colorado. But one of the first things that needs to be done long before a mortgage is applied for and the house hunting search starts is saving for a down payment.

Andreevsky Descent is the oldest street in Kiev. The street was named in honor of St. Andrew's Church, which was established at the beginning of the descent in the middle ofthe VIII century. There is a legend, earlier on the place of the Dnieper was the sea, when the apostle Andrew came and installed a cross on a hill, the sea obeyed, and the water left
St. Sophia Cathedral is the pearl of the capital. "Sofia" was created by Prince Vladimir in 1011, more 1000 years ago! St. Sophia Cathedral is a fount of frescoes and mosaics of the 11th century.
The Golden Gate is an architectural monument of the defensive architecture of Kiev Rus, since the reign of Yaroslav the Wise. The Golden Gate performed not only a defensive function, but also was the central entrance to Kiev. This status was preserved for it until the 18th century

Chernobyl Tour
In the early 80's, small townships Chernobyl and Pripyat were prophesied the cities of the future. Special sources of financing, innovative infrastructure, ideal conditions for life - all this was a reality until the morning of April 26, 1986.

|Being John Malkovich (1999)
Director: Spike Jonze
Starring: John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Keener
Running Time: 1 hrs. 52 min
Rated: R
Review by Brother Reed
Charlie Kaufman is a man who finds truth in absurdity. His screenplay for Being John Malkovich is a goldmine of radical concepts, and director Spike Jonze brings it to life before our eyes as an almost dream-like parade of strangeness. Lifelike puppetry, an office with a four foot ceiling, a chimp with post traumatic stress, people entering the minds of others… this is just the beginning of the oddities to be found in this film. However, it is no conceit. Being John Malkovich may have the trappings of an obscure art film but it is made so accessible – and so funny – that I think audiences will love it if they give it a shot.

Picture Day is approaching!
Here are a few tips to help make the day successful.
Fill out your picture day form and return directly to your teacher. One form is needed for each child, but you can write just one check and specify which envelop has the payment.
Please request a form from your Director if you have not received one.
Dress your child in their favorite outfit on Picture Day.
Please check your school for what background they are using. Some are "full length" and you will want to dress accordingly.

Carbon. Mercury. Sulfur Dioxide.
These are fine things to be discussing in a chemistry class, but not to be inhaling into your lungs in copious amounts. Concerns about air quality and Climate Change were a top priority for Colorado voters even before a disgusting gray soup settled over the Denver Metro area in recent months. At one point in early March, Colorado's air quality measured more than three times worse than moderate air quality levels in Beijing, China, where people regularly walk around with masks over their nose and mouth.
On Thursday, Democrats in the State House of Representatives introduced legislation that is intended to clean up Colorado's air quality: House Bill 19-1261, "Climate Action Plan to Reduce Pollution." The bill sets goals for reducing carbon pollution by at least 25 percent by 2026, 50 percent by 2030, and 90 percent by 2050 by directing Colorado's Air quality Control Commission to "reduce, prevent, and control air pollution throughout the state of Colorado." As House Speaker K.C. Becker tells the Denver Post, HB-1261 contains no new fees for pollution and would have little impact on oil and gas operations that follow methane regulations.
House Bill 1261 is sure to draw opposition from some critics who will try to compare it to the "Green New Deal" proposed by Congressional Democrats, but Colorado's legislation is focused solely on reducing carbon pollution in our state in an effort to reduce adverse health effects such as asthma, heart disease, lung disease, and cancer.
From a purely political perspective, this bill follows many of the promises made by Democratic candidates in 2018; its goals are widely supported by Colorado voters, as poll after poll has confirmed. A full 90% of Coloradans support increasing the use of clean, renewable energy in Colorado, and 62% believe that Climate Change is a significant issue. Polling conducted after the 2018 election further validates this approach.
As Kelly Nordini pointed out in a December opinion piece for the publication formerly known as the Colorado Statesman, voters were clear about their concerns in November:
When asked which policy issue was "most important in your vote for governor," 42 percent of independents selected "energy and the environment" as one of their top two choices – the most of any issue tested. Coming in second place was health care at 35 percent, followed by education at 32 percent.
In other words, it wasn't the economy, healthcare, education, immigration, or taxes that rose to the top for Colorado's independents as they headed to the ballot box. The most important policy issue for this key voting bloc was energy and environment, with a strong plurality of the state's independents going for pro-environment candidates.
Of course, Gov.-Elect Jared Polis won the Colorado governor's race in a landslide against State Treasurer Walker Stapleton by running as a fierce advocate for Colorado's environment, pledging to transition Colorado to 100 percent renewable energy by 2040, pushing for common-sense safeguards on oil and gas drilling, and calling for protecting the state's parks and public lands.
Breathe easier, Colorado — your legislative leaders are paying attention.

Surprisingly, this level IS possible to pass, and I even had a fire bonus – and used that – in two games!
The key is NOT to shoot the papa hard at the wall, but in an aiming line as curved as utmost possible. Then the chance is much better that the papa will push the fruit to the center and drop it there.
Of course ZERO papas left, but close 40,000 points.

Dave Strachan's robust almost bullet-proof Mt Eden home responds effortlessly to its intense urban site and busy family life
This home's robust exterior is the perfect protection from a busy main road
When the 277 Metrolink bus makes its way in rush-hour traffic along Mt Eden Road, Thursday morning commuters are often greeted by a holler and a cheeky wave as they pass by number 339. Two-year-old Thea Strachan, who stays with her grandparents once a week, likes nothing better than to push her face up to the fence and connect with the passing parade.
This narrow slip of land, sandwiched between a double-level block of 16 flats to the north and eight flats to the south, and with a bus corridor on the doorstep, is the new suburbia. Architect Dave Strachan and his wife Colleen have been waiting a lifetime to be here. Although they've lived in Mt Eden for 30 years, they've mainly renovated properties. "The last time I designed a house from scratch for my family was just after I graduated," Dave explains.
The decision to downsize, although pragmatic, has not precluded a sublime result. This is a home made up of equal parts logic and magic. Noise, diesel fumes and many neighbours come entwined with this urban package, but the talismanic, bush-blanketed cone just across the road is a powerful landscape and the local village is a three-minute walk away.
The 230-square-metre house presents a robust face to this public arena. Beyond galvanised palings, the concrete garage gives bunker-like protection from everyday grit. But this is not architecture as a big, blunt instrument. The gable of the dwelling rises in harmony with a colonial past and a full-length window permits a view through to trees in the gully on the other side of the property. "I wanted to provide visual access through the building, and we've had young, old and everyone in between stopping at the gate to have a look," says Dave.
Although he's designed the house for the pleasure of others, Dave hasn't overlooked his own needs. With no lawns to mow, no fences to paint and bulletproof long-run cladding with hidden fixings, he says: "I'll never have to replace a panel." Instead, he'll have more time to simply enjoy the environment. Lower running costs are another sensible strategy.
The sloping roof to the north supports a 6.5kW array of solar panels; slivered down the south flank of the home are enough tanks to hold 15,000 litres of rainwater; there are double layers of German 'superinsulation' and a heatpump-operated hot water system.
Future-proofing the operation of the house is one thing, but it excels in the here and now, too. Entry is through a covered internal courtyard that Dave calls "a transition space". It's like stepping into solitude.
An insulated door locks out the traffic hum, ferns grow through the groundcover, and tiers of planter boxes drip with basil and rosemary. The herby fragrance mingles with the scent of the Lawson cypress panels that muffle the sound of the road Another set of glazed doors provides access to the house proper. "We haven't had to close them yet. We'll see, maybe in winter."
Inside, many design lessons, hard-won over decades, are in evidence. In collaboration with architectural graduate Ross Keane and other members of the Strachan Group Architects' team, Dave plays with compression and release, directs natural light, frames views and nails the textural tapestry, all while orchestrating a balanced experience.
The building responds effortlessly to the intensity of this urban site, using opal glass, louvre screens, judicious planting and a pergola above the pool to switch between the private and public realm.
Although the Strachans fit the demographic of Empty Nesters, that status is not static. With four children, one grandchild, and another on the way, impromptu gatherings can be expected while "please babysit" phone calls surely can't be far away. "I love being a granddad and designed the house to be multi-generational," says Dave.
Beneath the eight-metre apex of the cathedral ceiling is 'The Cradle', a mezzanine-like level that traverses the east-west axis and is swaddled in board-and-batten. "I call it 'The Cradle' because it contains the guest bedroom and a flexi room where our granddaughter, daughter, and visiting friends and family, sleep."
But too much natural wood and the house could feel like a Scandinavian sauna, so Colleen insisted on white walls as a backdrop for art – so Dave and the SGA crew created a CNC programme to cut a 4×4 negative groove into white-painted plywood panels that line the upstairs and downstairs spaces. Black-oxide concrete floors are a tonal counterpoint to the timber.
The kitchen is an industrial expression, with stainless steel benchtops and a commercial-grade fridge and oven. "Our daughter is away studying at Vic Uni and works part time as a baker at Fidel's Cafe – when she comes home she uses it," says Dave. With help from a friend and Ross, he built the cabinetry from birch ply. The same palette is echoed in book shelves and bench seating in the living and dining areas.
Two dining tables, both on castors, are pushed together for big family gatherings. One near the kitchen overlooks the courtyard greenery and is the perfect spot for breakfast, while the second has a view of the garden and pool. With its glass sliders giving access to the dining zone, some of the family members have dubbed the pool "a swim-up bar", but the barman is often distracted by the way the water refraction throws shadows on the ceiling.
Entertaining is part of the everyday and although they've yet to live here for six months, the house has hosted Christmas functions, a charity art fundraiser, a baby shower and hen's party. Such an open-door policy is the least the Strachans can do, particularly since their offspring are integral to the success of this project: Fraser was the builder; James was involved in the groundworks; and Campbell did the landscaping.
Family life is beautifully accommodated, and so are times of pure indulgence. On Sunday afternoons when real estate agent Colleen is at work, Dave settles down to read on the benchseat, from where the backdrop of Maungawhau can be seen.
Some evenings, he'll head upstairs to the flexi room to play electric or acoustic guitar. Moments such as these are plentiful and almost as precious as The Little Princess who arrives on 'Thea Thursdays' with customary confidence. "She walks in like she owns the place," laughs Dave. He takes her attitude as the ultimate compliment.

"Don Jazzy needs to wash his head! At this rate, Tweetoracle will get verified by twitter before him."
That was one of the many ignorant tweets by a few Nigerians on twitter in reaction to the news that "singer, designer and actress" (that's what she says in her bio so don't ask me) Dencia's account had been verified by Twitter. There was a lot of outrage and it was funny for the most part. Yes, it is okay to be surprised since no one saw it coming. But the outrage was quite hilarious and unintelligent for the most part.
For some reason, Nigerians (and most of the world I must say) see verification as a certification that one has arrived. Fair enough, since the rules for verification say that accounts could be verified if a person is being impersonated or is likely to be. But people also seem to forget that impersonation is not the only reason. It is possible to get verified by twitter simply to authenticate your account, whether you're a celebrity or not.
While all that went on, a few other artistes, Ice Prince, Brymo and Jesse Jagz got verified too and it seemed like a celebration galore kicked off. Now for me, as funny as the attacks on Dencia were, the celebration of the Chocolate City boys' verification was even funnier. At some point, you would have thought that Nigeria had won an Olympic gold (in verification) or something. Why the extra excitement?
A search of verified twitter accounts around the world would throw up some of the most random names possible, making it obvious that verification doesn't make one anymore of a celebrity than they already are. Same way a search of famous people who are not verified would leave you astounded. Kid CuDi (@ducidni) comes to mind here.
I don't see why a Banky W, Don Jazzy or MI Abaga should cry over not being verified. We have followed them on Twitter for years and know who they are and what their real accounts are. Yes, verification makes things clearer but I doubt that their non-verification has left us conflicted about whom they really are. But yeah, 2Face Idibia definitely needs verification though. Dude has opened about 3 accounts on his own alone in the last couple of years; besides the many other parodies that constantly spring up.
Wizkid isn't verified. It hasn't stopped Akon, Young Jeezy, Tinie Tempah, Wale and many more from communicating with his unverified account. Clearly, there's no conflict there. It hasn't made him less of a pop star (he's a pop artiste right? Right???) than he already is. Verification won't add a lot to that either, even if that does not mean he shouldn't get verified if he wanted to.
My point here is simple; the blue tick is clearly an extension of our love for status and material accomplishments over all else. Of course I have been guilty a few times so I'm in no place to judge. But seriously, making verification the condition for ranking celebrities is a little absurd.
And oh, isn't Dencia Cameroonian? 'Cos I also saw a tweet about her being the 5th Nigerian celebrity to be verified on Twitter; that's besides the fact that there were more than 4 verified Nigerians at the time anyway making that a stupid tweet to even quote here.
Oh well; as you were…
