The best tanning bed lotion
If you don't want to rely on the sun to give you a golden tan, a tanning bed is one alternative. But to develop an even, natural-looking tan indoors, you need a good tanning bed lotion to help speed up the process. Tanning bed lotions also keep your skin moisturized, preventing burns and other damage, and help your tan last as long as possible. If you're not sure what to look for in a tanning bed lotion, check out our handy shopping guide for help choosing the perfect formula for your tanning needs. Our top pick is Australian Gold's Cheeky Brown Accelerator, which prevents streaks for a smooth, flawless glow that lasts all summer long.
Considerations when choosing tanning bed lotions
Tanning bed lotions are available in several different types, so you should choose a formula that best meets your needs.
Bronzer tanning bed lotions help deliver instant color to your skin like self-tanners, deepening your indoor tan for a darker glow. They are usually rated with a number that indicates how dark the lotion can help you get. The higher the number, the darker your tan will be.
Tingle and hot action tanning bed lotions use heat to boost blood circulation in the skin, which stimulates melanin production to darken your tan. This type of lotion is best if you have experience using a tanning bed. It can cause redness and tingling, though, so it isn't advised for sensitive skin.
Coolant tanning bed lotions have a refreshing cool feeling when smoothed over your skin. They can help keep you cool when you're lying in a tanning bed and work especially well if you plan to tan for a longer period.
Accelerator tanning bed lotions help hydrate the skin, allowing you to achieve an attractive base tan because moisturized skin tans more easily. They're a perfect choice for anyone who's tanning indoors for the first time or tanning for the first time in a while.
Maximizer tanning bed lotions allow you to achieve a deep, rich tan after you've developed a base tan. They are a good option for people who regularly tan indoors.
Application area
While any tanning bed lotion can help you develop a tan, most are not intended for use everywhere on the body. Lotions for the body tend to be heavier, richer formulas, while those for the face are typically lighter and not as greasy. That prevents the lotion from clogging your pores and causing breakouts. Always make sure to check where a tanning bed lotion is supposed to be used on the body so you don't run into issues.
The consistency of a tanning bed lotion affects how easy it is to apply. Thinner lotions are usually runny, which means they can drip and cause a mess when you apply them. Thicker formulas, on the other hand, don't create a mess because they don't run as you rub them in, making application easier.
While it may seem to defeat the purpose to choose a tanning bed lotion with SPF, it can actually help if you have fair skin that burns easily. To prevent a burn, choose a lotion that's SPF 8 or lower, so your skin is protected but still able to develop a beautiful glow.
Developing time
It can take some time for the full color of your tan to develop with a tanning bed lotion. Some lotions take longer than others, though, so for the most convenient tanning, choose a lotion that allows you to develop your full color in just four to six hours.
You'll have a more enjoyable tanning experience if you choose a tanning bed lotion with a pleasant scent. Many formulas have tropical scents with coconut and pineapple notes, but you can also find lotions with a floral fragrance.
Tanning bed lotions generally range from $7 to $70. You'll typically pay $10 to $35 for coolant lotions and $15 to $45 for maximizer lotions. Bronzer lotions usually cost between $7 and $60, while tingle and hot action formulas generally range from $13 to $60. Accelerator lotions typically cost between $11 and $70.
Q. Why should I use a tanning bed lotion?
A. The main benefit of tanning bed lotion is that it keeps the skin hydrated so that it isn't dried out by the tanning bed's UV rays. Skin that's well-moisturized also tans more easily, so you're able to develop a healthy glow more quickly.
Q. How many tanning sessions do I need to develop a base tan with a tanning bed lotion?
A. For most people, it only takes five or six tanning sessions to develop a good base tan. However, if your skin is extremely fair, it may take up to 10 sessions to reach your desired base tan.
Tanning bed lotions we recommend
Best of the best: Australian Gold Cheeky Brown Accelerator
Our take: An effective tanning bed lotion that not only hydrates the skin but also helps deepen your tan.
What we like: Contains natural bronzers for an instant glow but doesn't go on streaky. Natural oils and vitamins A and E hydrate for soft, smooth skin. Has a pleasant tropical scent.
What we dislike: Formula is fairly thin, so it tends to run when you apply it.
Best bang for your buck: Maui Babe Browning Lotion
Our take: An affordable tanning bed lotion that still provides a healthy, even tan.
What we like: Water-based formula doesn't clog pores. Applies smoothly and evenly. Doesn't feature any bronzers, so you don't have to worry about streaks. Won't stain most fabrics either.
What we dislike: Some users are not fond of the strong scent.
Choice 3: Ed Hardy Coconut Kisses Golden Tanning Lotion
Our take: The reliability and consistency of this tanning bed lotion make it a favorite among experienced tanners.
What we like: Contains coconut milk and coconut oil to provide intense hydration. Features a pleasant tropical scent. Thick consistency allows for smooth, streak-free application.
What we dislike: Some users experience an allergic reaction to the formula.

The elbow of the hitting hand is placed to the right in front of the body. • the racket points downwards. • the shuttlecock can be hit with a lightning quick movement at the last moment – instead of just behind the net – with a flick into the back of the court. Fig. 31: The backhand serve The Flick Serve … • can be played either as a forehand or a backhand. • the backswing is relatively slow, so that the opponent will expect a short ball. • at the last moment before the shot, there is a sudden acceleration that sends the shuttlecock right to the back of the opponent's half of the court.
The server should observe how the opponent positions himself to receive the serve. If he stands wide in the middle of the court, the most effective ball is always the short serve, as the opponent can only reach the shuttlecock with a lunge and must play an underarm shot. However, if the opponent stands well to the front of the court at the net, and holds the racket above the top of the net waiting to "kill" the shuttlecock, then a long serve would always be the best solution. The flick serve (Fig.
This is measured by to what extent the racket head turns left or right around the longitudinal axis of the shaft. If the player hits the shuttle not with the center but with the edge of the racket, it can be returned equally as well by a racket with low torsion as a shuttle that is hit with the center of a cheaper racket. Another property of the racket that influences the play quality is balance. There are head and grip-heavy as well as balanced rackets on the market. Basically, head-heavy rackets offer greater acceleration in the smash, while grip-heavy models are better suited to defensive play, as they allow for greater accuracy.

Today West Coast Environmental Law, with the assistance of the BCGEU, released the report "No Response-A survey of environmental law enforcement and compliance in BC."
The thoroughly researched and documented study shows a dramatic drop in environmental law enforcement under the Gordon Campbell government.
Case studies around the province show the same story: weakened laws, a lack of enforcement and a lack of compliance.
The report draws a clear connection between the lack of enforcement and massive staffing cuts at the Ministry of Environment and the Conservation Officer Service.
The report argues that Conservation Officers are working hard, but staffing levels need to be restored and funding increased.
These issues are all too familiar to Component 20 members who are on the frontline enforcing environmental laws in BC.
The report also lays out clear recommendations for undoing the damage caused by the Liberal government.
With environmental issues at the forefront today, lets hope the government takes the time to read this report and acts on the recommendations.

An Expansion chamber is an exhaust system used on a two-stroke cycle engine to enhance its power]output by improving its volumetric efficiency. It makes use of the energy left in the burnt exhaust exiting the cylinder to aid the filling of the cylinder for the next cycle. It is the two-stroke equivalent of the tuned pipes (or headers) used on four-stroke cycle engines.
How it works
The high pressure gas exiting the cylinder flows in the form of a "waves" as all disturbances in fluids do. If this wave encounters any change in cross section or temperature it will reflect a portion of its strength in the opposite direction to its travel. For example a high pressure wave encountering an increase in area will reflect back a low pressure wave in the opposite direction. A high pressure wave encountering a decrease in area will reflect back a high pressure wave in the opposite direction.
An expansion chamber makes use of this phenomenon by varying its diameter (cross section) and length to cause these reflections to arrive back at the cylinder at the desired times in the cycle.
There are three main parts to the expansion cycle.
When the descending piston first exposes the exhaust port, the exhaust flows out powerfully due to its own pressure without assistance from the expansion chamber and so the first portion of the pipe is constant or near constant with a divergence of 0 to 2 degrees. This section of the system is called the "head pipe" (the exhaust port length is considered part of the head pipe for measurement purposes). By keeping the head pipe near constant, the energy in the wave is preserved until needed later in the cycle.
Once the exhaust pressure has fallen to near atmospheric level the piston uncovers the transfer ports. At this point energy from the expansion chamber can be used to aid the flow of fresh mixture into the cylinder. To do this the expansion chamber is increased in diameter so that the out going high pressure wave reflects a negative pressure wave back toward the cylinder. This negative pressure arrives in the cylinder during the transfer cycle and greatly increases the flow of fresh mixture into the cylinder and can even suck fresh mixture out into the headpipe. This part of the pipe is called the divergent (or diffuser) section and it diverges at 6 to 12 degrees. It may be made up of more than one diverging cone depending on requirements.
Port blocking
When the transfer is complete the piston is on the way back up on its compression stroke but the exhaust port is still open, an unavoidable problem with the two stroke design. To help prevent the piston pushing fresh mixture out the open exhaust port a strong high pressure wave from the expansion chamber is timed to arrive during the compression stroke. The port blocking wave is created by reducing the diameter of the chamber. This is called the convergent section. The outgoing high pressure wave hits the narrowing convergent section and reflects back a high pressure wave to the cylinder which arrives in time to block the port during the compression stroke and can push back into the cylinder any fresh mixture drawn out into the head pipe. The convergent section is made to converge at 8 to 90 degrees depending on requirements.
Combined with the high pressure wave there is a general rise in pressure in the chamber caused by deliberately restricting the outlet with a small tube called the stinger. The stinger restricts flow out of the chamber to cause higher pressure during the compression cycle and empties the chamber during the compression/power stroke to ready it for the next cycle. The stingers length and inside diameter are selected to match the engines requirements. (The inside diameter has the greatest effect and so is the most sensitive of the two.)
How Expansion chambers are made
There are three main methods of fabricating expansion chambers.
Hand formed
Flat sheet metal is rolled into cones and round sections, which are then welded together section by section. Although time consuming, it is usually the method chosen for development of a new design due to its flexibility, accuracy and low tooling costs.
Two flat representations of the required finished pipe are cut out of sheet metal. The edges of the two identical flat cutouts are welded together forming a sandwich. On one end of the pipe a fitting is welded and high-pressure water is pumped into the cavity between the sheets. The pressure inflates the flat sheet into its final rounded shape. This method can be quicker than hand forming and only slightly more costly in tooling, however it requires a number of trials before a finished design as accurate as hand formed or stamped can be produced. All curves must be made in a single plane so cutting apart and re-welding is often required but the final product can be as good as a stamped pipe.
Flat sheet metal is pressed between a male and female mold in the shape of the required pipe. Each half of the pipe is stamped this way and the two halves are welded together. Stamping requires expensive tooling and machinery and is used only for mass production.
(Note-Functionally, expansion chambers need not be round in cross section but in practice a round shape is the best acoustically and is the only shape which (at a reasonable weight) can withstand the intense vibration and pounding without cracking.)
All these events need to be synchronized with the engine port timings and speed. An expansion chamber "tuned" for 8,000 rpm will not deliver the proper wave timings at 4,000 or 11,000 rpm. In fact it is likely to incur a power loss outside its "tuned" range.
The length of the pipe determines at what time the waves arrive back at the cylinder. Longer pipes require more time for the waves to traverse and so will be tuned to a lower rpm than a shorter pipe. The shorter the pipe the higher the rpm it is tuned to.
The rate of convergence/divergence of the cones determines the duration of the wave returned. A gentle taper give a long duration but weaker return wave while a steeper taper gives a short but strong return wave. The longer the wave, the broader the RPM range at which it is useful. This extra power band width is at the sacrifice of peak torque.
The diameter of the center or dwell section determines the ratio of scavenging suction to port blocking pressure as well as the over all energy recovery. The resulting volume determines the maximum pressure rise with large volumes giving less pressure rise. The fatter the pipe the harder it sucks but the weaker the blocking pressure. Thinner pipes will scavenge less but block the port very strongly. The optimum diameter is related to compression ratio, the quality of the transfer port layout and its scavenging efficiency.
Another approach to altering the tuned RPM of an expansion chamber is to alter the speed of the pressure waves inside the exhaust pipe. The speed at which pressure waves travel is greatly affected by temperature: higher temperature means faster wave speed. As a result, expansion chambers can be retuned for higher-than-design RPM resonance, by increasing the average temperature of the exhaust gases inside the pipe. Techniques to achieve this increase in gas temperature can include: insulating the pipe (thermal wrap), restricting flow from the pipe (smaller stinger diameter), or by retarding the ignition timing at the correct RPM (a later burn allows more heat to escape into the pipe).
Conversely, a pipe can be retuned to work at a lower-than-design RPM range by reducing the temperature of the exhaust gases. Injecting water or a water-alcohol mix into the headpipe of an expansion chamber can reduce temperatures significantly, enough to lower the tuned RPM of an exhaust system by as much as 1500- 2000 RPM. The heat absorbed as the liquid changes into a gas is responsible for the drop in temperature. As a result, the two stroke exhaust can be tuned to stay "on the pipe" over a remarkably wide RPM range, if the designer takes advantage of all the tools available.

We went up to Crater Lake National Park and the Shasta Lake National Recreation area over the July 4th holidays. Some key highlights & lowlights of the trip below.
From San Jose to Redding: We left San Jose around 3pm, took the 680 freeway heading to 80E. The route was 680N-80E-505-5N. As I drove through the Benicia bridge toll plaza on 680, it got a bit confusing with lanes splitting into three - Fast Trak pass, Carpool and Cash. I took the carpool lane, since we had enough people in the car and it was carpool hours, but wasn't sure if it meant Fast Trak carpool or any carpool. There were cameras, so I guess I will know if I was wrong in a few weeks! The stretch between Benicia and freeway 80 has always had strong winds every time I have driven through, enough to feel the car sway. Not sure why, but I guess everyone survives, so it doesn't matter. After reaching Vacaville on 80, we took the bypass freeway 505 to get on 5N. This was the first time I have taken 505 - it is pretty quiet and fairly dry landscape. We reached the junction of 5 and 505 around 5:30pm, and stopped at the Pilot travel center to grab a bite. Another couple of hours drive, we were in Redding, which is the closest city just before Shasta Trinity National Recreation area.
In Redding: I had booked a room at the Best Western Inn on Hiltop Drive. Wasn't too impressed - they gave me a non-smoking room, but it was clear someone had been smoking inside before. It was obvious now why they took a signature during check-in, that if they smell smoke in a non-smoking room after check-out, there would be a special air clean-up charge - clearly, they have had this problem for a while. The hotel manager sent someone to throw some perfume, but it only helped little. It wasn't easy to move with the family, so I just settled in, giving them the benefit of doubt that it could be the smoke from the forest fires going around (I later heard there were 1000 of them, and fire-fighters managed to bring it down to 800 thus far!). The saving grace was the good breakfast, with the wide choice of oatmeal, breads, fruit, and full service grill. Any case, the smoke wasn't worth $130 a night, so I simply decided never to book a Best western again. We had dinner at Priya's Indian cuisine on Churn Creek Ave, and that turned out not as exciting as well.
Redding to Crater Lake: Thursday morning around 9:30, we left Redding. The drive up 5N goes through Shasta, and is pretty scenic. After about an hour, we saw Mt Shasta towering over 14,000 feet. It was pretty dry now, with some precipitation just at the top. I have been there in May once before, when it is mostly wrapped in snow. The Google map asked me to take US-97 highway to Klamath Falls, and then take OR-62 that leads to Crater Lake. So, we forked off to US-97 at this small town called Weed. The drive on US-97 was extemely quiet, patches of water and green, with almost no traffic, and the only civilization was some remote motels appearing once in a while. I learned some thing new - this was one of the "All American Road", which is a federal designation for certain roads less traveled but have tourist potential due to scenic, cultural or historical interest. The motels look dilapidated and makes you wonder if it was a thing of the past or if it is still functioning. After a hour and and half drive on US-97, I saw a visitor center and stopped by to ask if I was indeed on the right track. The ranger gave me the good news that I am indeed on track, as well the bad news that I am still another hour and half away from Crater Lake! We crossed the small town of Klamath Falls, and headed towards Modoc point. The road got pretty interesting and a bit scary here with the huge Upper Klamath Lake to the left, seemingly threatening to spill over and flood the road, and a mountain a few miles out in front, that made me wonder if there is even a road once I reach the intersection of the mountain and the lake. Finally, we saw signs indicating Crater Lake and leading us to OR-62 highway. We took a left on OR-62, and the route was a bit more scenic with the typical tall conifers of Oregon. Parts of OR-62 and US-97 comprise the "Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway". Another 40 miles on OR-62, and we reached Crater Lake National Park.
Inside Crater Lake National Park: There is a restaurant just before the park entrance. It is better to get lunch here. There is a cafe inside the park with limited options (the ranger at the visitor center told me there is a restaurant in the lodge, I couldn't find it, but I could be mistaken). We paid the fee ($10 per car), and drove another 7 miles to get to the lake. We saw some precipitation as it was now about 7000 feet elevation, and stopped to take some pictures on the snow. As I was about to park, there was this idiot driver in front, who just passed the spot, but hurriedly backed up to regain his spot! I honked, but I think it didn't ring in his ears, and before I could react backing up, he was almost there. I gave him a stare and passed on to find ample parking space just a few feet down. By this time, we were very hungry, so the first thing on our mind was lunch, though we caught a glimpse of the lake as we drove into the parking lot. We settled for pita sandwiches at the Rim Cafe, and then walked up to the rim of the lake. The view was well worth every mile we drove the last 3.5 hours. We took some pictures, and drove around the rim to another viewpoint (called Discovery point) at a slightly higher elevation, and took more pictures. It is possible to drive around the entire 35 miles around the rim, but we had to trade-off with little ones in the car that might get impatient.
Heading back to Redding: As we headed out of Crater Lake, I made up my mind not to drive through Klamath Falls again, but take OR-62 towards Medford, where it meets Hwy 5. This was a pretty good decision, as it is pretty scenic as the road goes along parts of the Rogue River white waters, and there is more civilzation or greenery than the US-97 route. Once we got to Medford, we took 5S, heading back to California. It was pretty scenic going through the mountains, but there was also smoke from the forest fires. I was juggling between driving uphill and keeping the air conditioner switched on to filter out the smoke. We passed Yreka, another historic town, and got back to Weed, where we had originally forked off on US-97. We continued on 5S, catching another glimpse of Mt Shasta, and headed back to our lodge in Redding.
Though it was a lot of driving, it was a fulfilling and memorable experience. We had a good sleep, that refreshed us for the Shasta trip the following day.

Six days before kickoff, the NFL moved its one scheduled game in Mexico City this season. The condition of the field at Azteca Stadium forced the switch of the Rams-Chiefs game to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in November.
That hasn't deterred the NFL from returning to Mexico City.
It already announced that the Chiefs and Chargers will play there in 2019 and remains committed to annual games south of the border.
"We were disappointed we weren't able to play there this year, but I believe all of us did the right thing," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said at his state of the league address Wednesday. "I believe we're going to continue that relationship and grow the game of football in Mexico."
The NFL has played three regular-season games in Mexico City, including the first international game in 2005 when the 49ers played the Cardinals.

There is a beautiful pathos of history in the fact that the totalising force and the absolutist will always be dogged by those with a blog. The might of the word, of knowledge, is similar to the might of the ocean. You may divert its force for a time, but it will flatten all land eventually. You may think you can divert it. But once something is realised, it stays realised.
When I hear someone exasperate about the internet, I always think – which comment annoyed you today? Which site fractured your sense of comfort in knowledge? Because of course, there is no such thing as the internet. There are only individual users, and groups… But then, that's not quite right. The word – internet – like the word – society – has an image or sectional meaning whenever used in this way. It comes accompanied with – a comment section filled with drivel – the endless mass of opinions – lists of reviews, one to five stars, each with their set of entries… And I can't help but think of this, whenever someone says 'what's wrong is the internet' or jokes that… If it weren't for the internet, we'd all be happy. The internet, they say, like a compulsion, their fingers itching to pick up a dustpan and brush, or an EMP device. I wonder if they know how they seem to us? We who have lived in the internet. They merely adopted the internet. We were born in it, moulded by it…
One was not born, but rather became, man. Or, the same, we can say that a newborn has a biological history, but not as yet, a cultural history. But why the past tense? 'Man' is dead – now, there is man. Because Man in our cultures was rarely defined against something, it was so throughout, so hegemonic, that it became such that it was never thrown into question. What an incredible amount of violence and ignorance must have been undertaken to reach that point, where everything other was buried beyond sight. But now those who work to define themselves as men, do it against the woman, the other, the beyond. That they do this is a symptom that they have already become different.
Or is this too simple – for who wrote the books, the newspapers, owned the presses? Rich Men knew their rich world, keeping the right company, having all the weapons. And so there must be a history of people outside, in the countryside, in the underground, out of ear-shot, who did not pay heed to the shouting and babbling of homoerotic joy at 'Man' (though of course that has its place.) These are the people who have so quickly in our time wrested their voice and as a byproduct of that process, 'Man' was destroyed. Their existence was only expected in a crude, partial way, in small encounters soon pushed from the mind. Or their behaviour was put into categories beyond thought. Or, they were simply ignored, kept from the true accounts, as the image was forging. It is an image with a great inner weakness that is destroyed simply by the existence of difference.
Since the old world is dead on its feet, we need only to keep living how we want, in order to push it softly into its grave. Culture is dead, long live culture.
Postmodernity is partly the realisation that we are animal, and much culture is therefore arbitrary. The kinds of firework show deviations from the past through so-called primitive art, and geometric shapes, becomes ubiquitous, and beautiful. This is the universalism, channeled and shaped consciously or unconsciously by architects through international capitalism, delusions of true rememberance and projection of power into giant capital structures like Shanghai.
Information of a thing can infuse its phenomena, knowing this or that makes it seem 'yes, that should be like that'. A brutalist building could seem cold or totalitarian, but when you know it was built in response to dead aristocratic imitation of imperial forms, and built for the use of normal people, then it seems warm, and loving, and clears the air.
My brain has a buffer zone for target words – I see the word Manchester, and then type it into my phone – I'm going to… Manchester. But the word I saw has overridden what I originally meant to say – the shop. The target is replaced by a functionally similar word, but never by an ungrammatical word. One of my colleagues will talk along with me, almost to the point of mimicking everything I say. Watching or hearing speech is so bound up with speaking that they sometime bleed into each other.
Perfect translation is an oxymoron. That there is no such thing as a perfect translation is a tautology. We may say that the most perfect translation is the same sentence written out twice, and read twice by the same person, and even then we have problems.
People make more sense when we consider the regimes of meaning they move within, what commanding concepts structure or hold important nodes within their connectome – be it atoms, material, science, or with friends, of days and nights out, of love or sex, or of politics – of ideals or utopias, or realism coloured by nationalism, or by history, or by strategy, or of faith or religious cultus, or of meditativeness of the moment, or of the smallness or greatness of the moment, or the worst of all, just doing stuff no matter what it is. And all of this might be more or less hidden, or subtextual.
I move from regime to regime, depending on which regime has disappointed me most recently. If I think the answers rest in friendship (which I mostly do) then I consciously try live in this regime of meaning, where we do what we say we will do, and honour and love each other. I succeed to varying degrees. This is all just a fancy way of talking about what really matters to us.
Can Descartes' answer to the problem of life be boiled down to this; we are in the care of a great and powerful illusionist, one who cares for us greatly, who feeds us our worlds out of love for us, coddling us. Within this illusion, other, smaller, illusions are spun to make us doubt them and in deepen our trust in the greater illusion.
One might say that if we knew everything about someone, we could say exactly what they would do in a situation. But what kind of arrogance is this? We don't know everything about anybody. And nevertheless, such a someone can still have good reasons for their actions. They may still deliberate, and act, they can still be free.

Many people struggle with the basic concepts of maintaining their HVAC system, even though it is a critical component of their home. Learning this is an important thing for a homeowner to do. The following article can assist you.
Prior to putting in a service call on your HVAC, be able to identify it. Look for the model and brand number. This information will be helpful to any contractor you hire to repair it.
Clean your fan and coils when the weather begins to warm. Before you clean the unit, be sure to turn off the power. The outside condenser unit should be kept free of leaves and other debris.
Don't let grass clippings pile up against your outdoor condenser. When you work with your lawn mower, make sure it spits the grass to the side opposite of your unit. This applies when you are taking care of the leaves in the yard.
Your HVAC unit may suffer when trees start to lose their leaves. Frequently clean the fan grill when trees are shedding leaves. Your fan needs an unobstructed way to get air inside, and the more blocked up it becomes, the more headaches will develop for you with the system.
Lubricate your condenser yearly if it has oil ports. A rubber or metal cap is typically placed over such ports. Use SAE 20 oil that is non-detergent and lightweight, and put 10 drops or fewer in each port, but make sure to avoid overfilling them.
Make sure you have your HVAC system checked at least twice a year. Checks in the spring as well as in autumn are the best. Although there might not be any noticeable issues, it is important to provide regular upkeep to prevent bad things from happening.
Turn off outdoor condenser units when weather turns cold. If temps go below 60 you run the risk of damaging a unit that remains on. This simple tip will help keep the system running efficiently for many years to come.
Never let your home reach a dangerously hot temperature. Even the best air conditioners can only realistically cool your home approximately 20 degrees Farenheit. If the temperature in your home rises to 100 degrees F or higher, cooling it will only drop the temperature to 80 degrees F. This can still be way too warm for you.
You can get ice in your air conditioner. The drain line can freeze, making you think it's a plumbing leak. If this happens, turn the thermostat so it is on fan only mode, which will disable the compressor. It's a good idea to call up professionals to help with this even though you can get the ice to melt when you switch everything to the fan.
One thing that substantially contributes to the comfort of a home is ane HVAC unit. But when these systems malfunction, it can be quite frustrating if you do not know the ins and outs of engaging the services of a skilled professional. By using the above information, you now know what to do.

The Nickel 201 wire is one of the widely used wires as it contents lateritic ores which are naturally occurring and has a number of benefits. Ferro-nickel is the end product that is used in industries by steel producers. After the impurities such as the phosphorus, silicon, and carbon are being removed they are used by steel manufacturers. The nickel oxide produced gets reduced at a high temperature of about 2480-9030 degree Fahrenheit using the electric furnaces. The residue, subsequently volatizes and produce nickel sulphate with nickel metal. They are found in alloys and steels which are used in the production of permanent magnets.
The electrodes of nickel are extracted from millerite, pyrrhotite, nickel sulphides and pentlandite that contain lateritic ores and just 1% nickel content. The Nickel 201 Filler Wire is silvery-white, lustrous and strong enough to be used in daily lives. The dimensions are ASTM E 2016-11 and ANSI-01-1992. The wire is of 100 to 6000mm in length. It has a diameter of about 10 to 100 mm. The nickel wire specializes as the filler wire, welding wire, electrode wire and coil wire. The nickel 201 filler, Nickel UNS N02201 filler, Nickel 201 welding wires are some of the known types.

After what seemed like an eternity, we finally touched down in 35 degree, 75% humidity, Phuket.
We dumped our bags at our hostel, 2W Cafe & Hostel, and decided to find ourselves some food. We found a bustling street vendor around the corner who keenly sat us down and tossed some menus at us. We opted for what seemed like an authentic-style chilli basil chicken and rice, a mere 50THB (2AUD). Anita struggled to ignore the wafts of typical Thai "street smell" while eating; it didn't bother me as much. After finishing up, we decided to head back to the hostel to rest up.
We woke up bright and early the next day and took a short stroll to find some breakfast. We found a little eatery which offered chicken two ways, "Phuket's crispiest pork" and rice, along with a soy dipping sauce, broth, fresh herbs and chilli sauces (Anita's favourite). I also bought a Thai milk ice tea, and all for 75THB (3AUD)!
We spent the rest of the day dodging the pushy vendors and gawking at the local delicacies of Ranong Road, Phuket's central market, before checking out the beautifully preserved buildings of Phuket Old Town.
After a long day of wandering, we put our feet up for a cold beer. Yep, Anita too, who has commited to choosing beer over mixers in an effort to save money while in Asia. She claimed that she enjoyed the beer while it was cold, although her facial expressions said otherwise. Following a quick bite for dinner, we headed back to the hostel to pack for our 12 hour bus trip to Bangkok the next morning. Yay.

Thanks to cubs.com-
ATLANTA -- Cubs fans should not get their hopes up for a miracle appearance by center fielder Alfonso Soriano in the upcoming weekend series with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Manager Lou Piniella put any possibility of that to rest.
"He ran today, and he was about 75 percent," said Piniella. "Mark O'Neal, our trainer, feels that by Monday or Tuesday, he'll be ready to play. He'll run again on Saturday in Chicago, in cooler weather, see how he feels, maybe even a little bit on Sunday and then be ready to play by Monday or Tuesday. That's the scenario we have for Soriano."
Soriano, who has sat out the last three games after straining his hamstring in Monday's game against San Diego, was upbeat prior to the series finale in Atlanta, speaking optimistically that he could conceivably play as early as Sunday.
Piniella, while admitting he was encouraged by the progress of 31-year-old center fielder, who he called "a quick healer," discouraged any speculation that he would rush him back into the lineup, even as a pinch-hitter.
"[If] you sit through cool weather, you get all stiff, and then send him up there to hit, you're risking [it]," he said. "Last night, we kept our bullpen quiet because of the risk factor. This would be a similar type situation with Soriano.
"I will probably say no, but let's leave at least a little doubt so the other team doesn't know for sure. So everybody's available," he added with a laugh. "But prudent-wise, it would be difficult. It's taking a risk that probably isn't worth taking."
Running amok: The inability to get Matt Murton home from third base with nobody out, and then not advance both Michael Barrett and Murton from second and third with one out in the eighth inning on Wednesday night was the final straw for Piniella as far as the team's baserunning.
The Cubs' skipper announced that he is bringing in the club's outfield/base running coordinator, Bob Dernier, to run a clinic.
Dernier stole 218 bases in his career, while only getting caught 63 times, a 77.6 percent success rate, and in 1984 set a then-franchise single-season record for steals by a center fielder with 45.
"We're going to work on some things with our leads and so forth, try to improve our baserunning," said Piniella. "I haven't been totally pleased with that aspect of our game. We're going to bring him in and really go over some things, including stealing bases."
One thing he'll probably go over with the Cubs players is when, and more important, when NOT to steal. Second baseman Ryan Theriot provided a perfect example of the latter in the first inning Thursday night.
After singling and stealing second, Theriot was thrown out attempting to steal third on a 2-0 pitch with Derrek Lee at the plate and Aramis Ramirez on deck.
Down on the Farm: Left-hander Les Walrond and righty John Webb combined for a shutout for Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday night. Walrond is now 2-0 with a 1.06 ERA, while the save was Webb's first since Aug. 21, 2003, when he played at Double-A West Tennessee.
Center fielder Chris Walker had two hits in his fifth straight contest -- he's hitting .476 (10-for-21) with a homer in that stretch -- to spark the first place Tennessee Smokies (Southern League, Double-A) to their fourth straight win. Walker also swiped two bases.
Jeff Samardzija pitched five strong innings (five hits, two runs, one earned), but got no decision in the Daytona Cubs' (Florida State League, Class A) 6-4 loss to Vero Beach.
The Peoria Chiefs (Midwest League, Class A) were rained out. They'll play a double-dip at Great Lakes on Thursday.
On deck: The Cubs head home to open a weekend series with the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. Ted Lilly (1-1, 2.37) takes the hill for the Cubs, while right-hander Braden Looper (2-1, 2.37) goes for the Cardinals. First pitch is scheduled for 1:20 p.m. CT.
Its to bad that he had to miss the best rivalry in baseball but you have to take it easy with him and plus there is no rush in my opinion because I want Pie to show why he deserves to be in the Majors.

That's the subject of our visit with Ephraim and Rimona Frank during the second hour of this show. They are already organizing the Third Congress, which will happen at the Eshel Hashomron Hotel in Ariel, Israel, March 23-27, 2018.
What has happened since the Second Congress concluded in October 2016? Quite a bit, as Ephraim and Rimona will explain. Developments both in the Ephraimite Awakening, and in Jewish awareness of it, indicate an acceleration and expansion of the process of Israel's complete restoration.
Where does this fit in the prophetic timeline? We will certainly talk about that. The Third Congress happens just before Passover, and only three weeks before the 70th anniversary of Israel's rebirth as a nation. The timing alone is of great prophetic significance – but what exactly does that mean?
Our conversation with Ephraim and Rimona will follow our update from Hanoch, who is in the midst of his latest U.S. tour with his latest presentation, "What Next, Israel?" How does his presentation fit with the anticipation of the Third Congress, and how is it being received? Join us and find out!

Anguloa 10 pages
This genus is found on the forest floor at high elevations from
Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador to Peru.[1]
A horticultural hybrid Anguloa with green flowers
Tulip orchids are rather large terrestrial and sometimes
epiphytic plants with fleshy pseudobulbs longer than 20 cm. The
long, lanceolate and plicate leaves of a full-grown Anguloa can be
more than 1 m long. Two to four leaves grow from the base of each
pseudobulb. The leaves are deciduous, and are shed at the start of
each new growth.
The flowers of these orchids have a strong scent of cinnamon.
They are of waxy appearance and are (in wild species) either of two
colors, depending on the species – greenish white, or yellow to red.
A single flower per inflorescence arises from the base of each new
pseudobulb. The white tulip orchids have six inflorescences per
pseudobulb, the other can produce up to twelve inflorescences. The
sepals have a bulbous shape, resembling a tulip; hence the common
name. The lip is three-lobed. The column has four pollinia.
There are nine species of tulip orchids, with varieties known of
some of these. In addition, there are 4 natural hybrids, which might
eventually evolve into distinct species with self-sustaining
populations. Other hybrid tulip orchids are bred by
horticulturalists, but do not occur in the wild.

It seemed like many were caught off guard when the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) earlier announced that there was going to be a "weak" El Niño this year. Being tagged as "weak," people perhaps dismissed it as something that would just be manageable and that they could continue with their wasteful ways, especially in the use of water. However for the past several weeks, there have been reported diminishing water levels in dams and reservoirs and shortages of water supply. People seem to believe that water will always be there every time they turn on the tap. Water, though, is one of the most vulnerable resources, especially in the time of climate change. Today, the 'Zup readers share what they have been doing to save water.
"To save water and to stay hydrated at the same time, I always keep a bottle of drinking water in the refrigerator which I could bring when I go out and minimize buying bottled water wherever I go. Also in taking a bath, I minimize using the shower because it wastes a lot of water."
—Engil Raimone Miano, 19, psychology student (USJ-R)
"I paint a lot as practice for our school projects at home. There are times where I need to wash my water container off of paint residue. The water I use to wash it off is the same water gathered from washing or bathing. I do this since the water mixed with soap helps clean my water container, ready for my next painting, at the same time, lessens my water usage."—Louisse Nicolette Hortel, 20, architecture student (USC)
"I try to patronize local products and those that entail lesser use of raw materials to produce, including water."
—Ralph Anthony Ventura, 25, student (Airworks Aviation Academy)
"Some people might find this unconventional but personally, I only take one full shower a day. I come home from work in a construction site so as soon as I get home I take a shower and rest."—Renzee Moe Lao, 23, junior architect

Lady Chatterley's Lover
Hard Cover. Florence: Privately Printed, 1928. Very Good.
Early pirated edition, in black moiré-patterned cloth with paper spine label, and title page printed in red and black. Very good with light fraying to corners and a postcard affixed to ffep, else a tight and clean copy. Widely considered to be Lawrence's masterpiece, Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned in both Britain and the US, inciting high demand for pirated copies. This pirated edition was likely photographically reproduced from the original Tipografia Giuntina first edition, as it contains all typographical errors and text ending on page 365 (Roberts A42a).

Treasure Rating
The Taoist sages who developed Chinese tonic herbalism said that a human being is composed of three "Treasures." The "Three Treasures" are called Jing, Qi and Shen.
Jing – the wax and wick of a candle – is the first Treasure and is translated as "Essence." Jing is the primal energy of life and is closely associated with our genetic potential and is associated with the aging process.
Qi – the flame – is the second Treasure, and in the Three Treasures system includes both Energy and blood. This is the aspect of our life that involves action and thought.
Shen – the light being given off by a candle – is the third Treasure. Shen is our Spirit. This is ultimately the most important of the Three Treasures because it is the basis of our higher nature as human beings.

The Housing Economy is Building Momentum
The "Great Recession" was three or four recessions in one. There was the Jobs Recession, the Retail Recession, and the Housing Recession. The Housing Recession could be broken down into the New Home Recession and the Existing Home Recession. These recessions led to a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Recession. The new home construction data recorded fewer Starts, units Under Construction, and Completions during 2009 than were recorded between 1975 and 2009. New homes cannot be sold unless they are constructed. New home sales often free up some existing home inventory. New home sales also increase job prospects and retail sales. Yesterday this column produced an article titled "January Real Estate Forecast: Up Again." New home Starts were projected to increase over the January 2017 level. The same projections were made for units Under Construction and Completions. Here is what was recorded, non-seasonally adjusted. It may not be the same as what was reported, seasonally adjusted, elsewhere.
New Home Starts broke through the 55,000 level, approached 60,000 units. The starts data was looking good. It was thought that we should see Starts exceed 55,000 single family units and could exceed 60,000 units. We had over 58,000 starts during the month of January between 1992 and 2007. We are finally returning to a normal construction market. There are other ways to examine the data. This column uses the current year metric, once we get at least three months into the year, and the rolling year data. The current year data looks ahead while the rolling year data looks behind the current month. Last year the rolling year data was at 784,000 units. This year it is 854,000 units. This is a 8.9% increase in starts. This is very good. The jump from January to January was 9.3%. Can we expect nearly 9% increases in starts during the remainder of the year? Yes. Will we see this kind of growth during the remainder of the year? Time will tell.
New Units Under Construction better than 2008-2017. Better than most years. The new construction data has been searching for a 1.2 million units month. We eclipsed the 1.0 million level during 2016. This January we are looking at nearly 1.1 million units. The increase in units under construction is only 4.48%. The Starts data will soon start feeding into the Under Construction data and we should see this number pop within the next few months, especially as the weather improves.
Completions hammered through 75,000, nearly nailed 80,000 units. We have seen better completions data during recent months as builders and buyers attempted to close deal by the end of the calendar year. This level is still excellent by recent standards. This level of completions is comparable to January 1993. Completions were up 6.55% from January 2017. The rolling year completions are up just over 9.0% compared to last January. Having starts and completions both up by 9% is a good thing. The question is whether or not next week we will see the housing inventory tick higher by a comparable amount?
The new construction data is only part of the real estate picture. This column will be producing articles regarding the new home sales data and the existing home sales data. Home sales, new and existing, have been held back by a lack of inventory.
The new construction data was remarkable. The trend is higher than last year and a potential return to normalcy. Stay tuned for the sales data next week.
It's the economy.

Super fund returns slip into the red
THE latest superannuation fund performance data from SuperRatings does not make for pretty reading. But while the loss of about 2 per cent in 2011 may not be a cause for celebration, the result could have been worse, given the barrage of terrible economic news, the investment research manager at SuperRatings, Salvador Saiz, said.
THE latest superannuation fund performance data from SuperRatings does not make for pretty reading. But while the loss of about 2 per cent in 2011 may not be a cause for celebration, the result could have been worse, given the barrage of terrible economic news, the investment research manager at SuperRatings, Salvador Saiz, said.The median-performing balanced investment option, where most people have their super, lost 1.9 per cent in 2011, the main contributor being poorly performing Australian shares, Mr Saiz said.The typical balanced fund has an exposure to Australian shares of about 30 per cent, the single biggest exposure to any asset class. In 2011, the sharemarket, as measured by the S&P/ASX 300 accumulation index, which includes dividends, lost 11 per cent."Lower returns from super are the new normal and it is a fact of life that fund members are going to have to get used to," Mr Saiz said.Conservative investment options did better than balanced options. Capital stable options, which have between 20 per cent and 40 per cent in growth assets such as shares and property and the rest in income-producing assets like fixed interest and cash, returned 3 per cent.Capital stable options benefited from a significant exposure to bonds, which was the best-performing asset class last year, especially high-quality government bonds.Of the balanced options, LGsuper's accumulation conservative balanced option was the best-performer for the year to December 31, returning 3.28 per cent. The same investment option was also the second-best performer over five years, with an average annual return of 2.9 per cent."We look to diversify the portfolio as best we can and spend a lot of time with Tower Watson [the fund's asset consultant] to get the best return for a given risk," LGSuper's chief executive, David Todd, said.The conservative balanced option has about 15 per cent in Australian equities and about the same percentage in global equities, lower than most funds. About 15 per cent is in property. The investment option has almost 40 per cent in diversified fixed interest and the remainder in "alternatives", mostly hedge funds and infrastructure.CareSuper's balanced option is a top-five performer over one and five years, with a five-year annual average return of 1.74 per cent. Its chief executive, Julie Lander, said the fund tried to "smooth the ride" with its asset allocation strategies.The past five years included the worst of the global financial crisis and the fund had lessened its exposure to equities while increasing its exposure to unlisted property and infrastructure investments."Last year we further reduced our exposure to Australian equities," Ms Lander said, and that had bolstered the one-year performance.REST Industry Super's core strategy option was the third-best performer over five years, with an average return of 2.2 per cent."One of the key ways to make money is not to lose as much when markets are bad," said the chief executive of the two-million-member fund, Damian Hill. Limiting losses was more important than "just trying [to] blow the lights out when things are going well", he said.The option's exposure to equities, Australian and global, at about 55 per cent, has been fairly stable. Mr Hill said a big contributor to the relatively good performance over the five years was the option's exposure to "credit opportunities", such as corporate bonds and collateralised loan obligations. The fund first invested in credit securities in late 2008.
