In a brand new interview, the model opened up about her life as a mother and also talked about the dark side of being a new mom – postpartum depression. Chrissy Teigen revealed that she often worries she might be plagued by it after welcoming her second addition to the family as well.
'Do I worry about it with this little boy? I do. But I also know that when it does happen – if it does – I am so ready for it. I have the perfect people around me for it. That is why I stand for a real core group of people around me,' she said.
The star went on to explain that Postpartum depression feels similar to 'coming down from any drug,' and this is often caused by the IVF treatments which raise the level of endorphins in the body.
'I'd just had Luna. I knew I had an incredible life and husband and family and all of the resources necessary. I knew I was personally unhappy, but I did not think that anything was wrong with it because I just assumed that that is the way it goes. You have a kid, you are sad, you lose those endorphins, and that is the way it is.'
She went on to say: 'I do wish, if anything, that more people had spoken up around me. I encourage anybody who sees something wrong around them to point it out. It took me a long time to finally sit myself down because I think it is hard for people to point something out.'
Last year, she revealed in an essay she wrote for Glamour Magazine that after the birth of her baby girl, she didn't feel like herself at all and barely ate anything.
'One thing that really got me was just how short I was with people. When I was not in the studio, I never left the house. Not even a tiptoe outside. I would ask people who came inside why they were wet. Was it raining? How would I know? I had every shade closed.'
Fortunately, Chrissy has a lot of great people around who helped her overcome it the first time and who will help her if it happens the second time as well.

New NightBus District makes late-night transit easier to find
Finding the NightBus just got easier in downtown Vancouver with the pilot NightBus District—a new, well-lit hub on West Georgia Street at Granville Street to catch the NightBus.
This is where all 10 NightBus routes will now start, making it easier than ever to find transit to take you home after 2 a.m.! It's cheaper than a coat check, costing less than $3 to get home on NightBus.
NightBus routes from Downtown Vancouver depart every 30 minutes or better, seven days a week, and pick up customers throughout the downtown core, connecting them to destinations across the region.
The routes include service to Burnaby and SFU, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Richmond and YVR, Surrey, UBC and several points throughout Vancouver.
Three of the NightBus routes closely follow the same routes as the Millennium Line (N9), Canada Line (N10) and Expo Line (N19). Last departures from downtown on these routes are after 4 a.m. Last departures for other routes range from 3:09 a.m. to 5:09 a.m., depending on the route.
The hub, which is a pilot project, was inspired by feedback from TransLink's Late Night Stakeholder Committee that has been discussing late-night transit services for workers and patrons of the Downtown Entertainment District.
We'll be monitoring the success of the program as we continue our assessment of late-night services.

Sounds good!

Will there be transit security on the buses . This would be the time of night when things could get stupid.
By Stefan, June 26, 2018 @ 11:12 am
This seems like a good idea, but there doesn't actually seem to be any information about the new "NightBus District" on the main NightBus page linked above (translink.ca/nightbus).
It might be good to post a detailed list or map of changes.
The closest thing seems to be the Vancouver City Centre Station map, linked to from the SkyTrain Maps page: http://infomaps.translink.ca/System_Maps/skytrain_station_maps/granville_vancouver_city_centre_station.pdf
Apart from that, you have to click through to each route from the NightBus page, then click on "Route Diagram" to see how each one has changed.
The last time I rode an "Owl" bus (as they were called) was 1997, but using a brighter, busier area along Georgia seems better than meeting along Howe Street.
By David, June 26, 2018 @ 12:28 pm
Great idea. I'm also happy to see the nightbus network running later so most nightbus routes now operate until first day buses the next morning. I'd love to see this implemented fully so that there is no need to worry about last bus.
Another change I'd like to see is the N15 extended to YVR, and the N10 spur to YVR discontinued – the N10 and N15 could have a timed transfer at the old Sea Island bus loop for transfers. This would provide a much better service than exists now for Richmond and the Airport.

Still doesn't go near Sapperton or Braid stations.Useless for me. :-(

The current Star Wars Darth Vader comic run by Charles Soule has everyone talking about Emperor Palpatine being revealed as Anakin Skywalker's 'father' through the Dark Side of The Force, but I believe they are burying the lead. What is more interesting and significant is that they announced a new Sith Lord, Momin, who lived past his death through his mask.
Lord Momin possessed those who wore his mask and Darth Vader provided hosts for him to be the architect of Darth Vader's castle on Mustafar, creating a literal tuning fork for his resurrection. While Darth Vader was distracted with a Mustafarian attack on his castle, Lord Momin opened a portal to the Dark Side of the force and resurrected himself! Darth Vader ultimately destroyed Lord Momin but this cycle is exactly what drove Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side of The Force to begin with:
"I'll be the most powerful Jedi ever!" he railed on. "I promise you! I will even learn to stop people from dying!"– Anakin Skywalker
Darth Vader now has the tools at his disposal to resurrect himself through the Dark Side, or at the very least, store his consciousness like Momin through the Dark Side into his helmet.
I know the purpose of the story was to solidify Vader as his own being rather than lamenting for his past and Padmé Amidala, but I believe this reinforces my theory.
When Obi-Wan first explains to Luke Skywalker that Darth Vader killed his father, it was the first time there was a direct distinction made between Anakin and Vader.
"A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father. Now the Jedi are all but extinct. Vader was seduced by the dark side of the Force."– Obi-Wan Kenobi
We know that Luke Skywalker redeemed Anakin Skywalker in Return of the Jedi, because we saw Anakin as a force ghost at the end of the film. But that was a later inclusion as it was originally Sebastian Shaw as Vader, not Hayden Christensen as Anakin. It seems to me with the forced narrative that they were two distinct entities, and that Darth Vader through the Dark Side of The Force murdered Anakin Skywalker in the Dark Side Portal within his Castle, it created two entities. 1. a silent possessed Anakin Skywalker that Luke Skywalker would discover and ultimately rescue from his possession, and 2. The Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader.
"Because there is good in him, I've felt it. He won't turn me over to the Emperor. I can save him; I can turn him back to the good side. I have to try."-Luke Skywalker
What if Darth Vader learned to do the very thing Lord Momin did by trapping his consciousness in his helmet and when Kylo Ren is meditating with it in The Force Awakens, he is literally speaking with Darth Vader.
What if when Kylo says he will continue what Darth Vader started, he wasn't talking about ending the Jedi, but rather he was referring to Darth Vaders ultimate purpose, learning to stop death, by resurrecting him!
"Forgive me. I feel it again… the call from light. Supreme Leader senses it. Show me again the power of the darkness, and I'll let nothing stand in our way. Show me, grandfather, and I will finish what you started."-Kylo Ren
Now there is much speculation about Episode 9, and why wouldn't there be? But it would be amazing to use this story-line to tie Kylo Ren, Snoke and Vader together wouldn't it? Snoke has a ring made from the obsidian found beneath Vader's castle, so he was clearly there at some point. The Portal is there…. why would Snoke not have brought Kylo to his grandfather's castle when he is continually using him as a measuring stick through the Dark Side of the Force?
This truly is just wishful thinking on my part and a highly unlikely reality to the ultimate story, but I am not ready to say goodbye to Darth Vader, and I desperately want there to be purpose to so many of the story-lines
J.J. Abrams set up in The Force Awakens. Not to mention some connection with the amazing Darth Vader comic that just ended and the mystery of The Force.
But what do you think? Am I way off base here? Is there a possibility of Darth Vader being alive still? Have we seen the last of Vader's Castle in the films?
Let me know in the comments below and until we can speak of Star Wars again, May The Force Be With You!

Steam/Violence Level: (Ranked from 1 to 5, as noted by the author): Steam Level 4
I saved her life… then we created a new one.
I find her on the edge of a cliff.
I keep her from jumping. Or at least I think I do.
She won't tell me why she was there or what she was doing.
Or anything else, except that she wants me to f*ck her pain away.
She's so gorgeous that I have to oblige.
As we grow closer, it's clear she's keeping another secret from me.
She thinks it's best to go our separate ways, but I have other plans.
I didn't let her fall off that cliff.
I held her in my grasp- and pinned her to the wall with my c*ck- when she needed me to.
So I won't let her slip out of my life, even if she thinks that's what I want.
I suspect she's having my child.
And I'm determined to keep caring for what's mine.

The debate rages on in Israel advocacy circles about what college students need to do in order to survive in the shark tanks that are western universities. In these universities, pro-Israel activists are confronted constantly by professors, student government resolutions and other student groups that are hostile to the continued existence of a Jewish State. The issue that these activists face is that there is no consensus on what they must do in order to reach "neutral" students on campus, who have not yet been reached by either side. There is little point attempting to convince ardent anti-Israel groups like IfNotNow and Students for Justice in Palestine, so the task becomes a battle to entice and inform those students who have not yet formed an opinion. The question of how to do that remains the most pressing of all for these intrepid, but largely leaderless young campus activists.
What many outside the campus environment don't realize is that most of the pushback against Israel advocacy is initiated by anti-Israel students. Some of these students came to college with an already burning, seemingly tribal (whether it be religious, ethnic, or ideological) drive to libel Israel on campus. Others were indoctrinated by their peers and anti-Israel professors. Both of these demographics move heaven and earth to bring down and smear Israel's good name to whomever may be willing to listen at every chance they get. This puts pro-Israel students, who really just came to college to get a degree and prepare for a career, on the defensive. They didn't want to have to spend the entirety of their college years defending their national homeland, but here they are, often correctly inspired by feelings of obligation towards Israel in the face of hearing the country being unfairly maligned.
Unlike the anti-Israel crew, who often seem to come prepared straight out of high school and are oozing with passion and zeal, Jewish students don't tend to be trained or even experienced activists. In fact, most of them have no idea what they're doing, and therefore go to their leaders for guidance. Unfortunately, their leaders often don't know what they're doing either. As a former college left-wing activist (Alexandra) and Israel advocate with marketing experience (Chaim), we know what works and what doesn't work. In many cases, what works is the exact opposite of what leaders of Jewish campus organizations tend to believe or preach.
The truth of the matter is, the anti-Israel organizations are winning the war of influence. They're slowly swaying student governments and academic organizations, and it seems in every BDS battle there are dozens of student organizations "endorsing" BDS – and the numbers keep growing – and maybe five coming out in opposition if we are lucky. What is causing us to slide into irrelevance?
1. The left runs the campus, and the anti-Israel movement has taken over the left
Anyone who's ever been to college could attest: the left rules. In fact, if you don't accept the left's package you're considered a bad person by students and professors alike, and nobody wants to be considered a bad person. Not only is it social suicide, but it even affects your grades in many cases, because it causes people to doubt your intelligence. Why? There's a trope on campus of the dumb closed-minded right wing hillbilly who only cares about himself and doesn't want to engage in causes outside of his own personal bounds. First, because right wing evangelicals tend to form the largest group of Israel supporters, numbering even far more than Jews, especially given that such a large number of the latter are beginning to side with the left against Israel.
These evangelicals have increasingly formed a stronghold of the Republican Party in the US, leading it to gradually become more vocally pro-Israel. Since the Democrats want to be everything the Republicans are not, and admitting you're a Republican on campus is worse than admitting you kill puppies and kittens for fun, this sets the stage for supporting Israel to be deemed "uncool." Second, because the anti-Israel contingent who have the most stake in the conflict – notably Muslims and Arabs – also tend to have more melanin and therefore more clout and credibility in the world of leftist identity politics. Third, because anti-Israel activist groups have successfully and proactively managed to hijack various leftist causes such as the Women's March, LGBT Pride, Idle No More, and #BlackLivesMatter, among many others, under the banner of "intersectionality." And a distant fourth, because the roots of the anti-Israel movement are in Soviet Propaganda and the left tends to side with the anti-Israel Red-Green alliance that grew up on this propaganda, along with leftist strongholds such as Amnesty International and the UN, which are also heavily influenced by the Red-Green Alliance.
2. Our leaders are professional fundraisers who hate rocking the boat, the opposite of actual activists whose job it is to rock the boat
The Israel activism movement needs bold, confident, big personalities. They need aggressive action, real charisma and risk-taking, but instead, what they're getting is soft, tame, weak, fearful inactivism. Young activists are scared of the social backlash of identifying with a cause that is deemed not part of the "leftist package" and thereby being branded a "bad person". They are also stifled by their leadership, composed of professional fundraisers rather than grassroots activists, who are completely paralyzed with fear from donors who are completely behind the times and out of touch with the reality on the ground.
Many of these donors are same people who in the 1960s were willing to get arrested marching with Martin Luther King or protesting the Vietnam War. Now, these same people refuse to donate to organizations that behave in the same fashion as they used to. These once-disheveled hippies became stability-seeking, high-rolling yuppies. And these yuppies like their activism to have a yuppie quality to it. Crisp suits, well-organized lectures with refreshments at the back. Every. Single. Time. The aggressive type of activism these Baby Boomers used to take part in is a type that they now ignore or even condemn as infantile. When they were being arrested for protesting Vietnam, or being beaten by racists during the Civil Rights movement, it was just and righteous. They are still venerated to this day for their courage. Now that they've "grown up", cut their hair and entered the "real world", they somehow hypocritically find it unacceptable to actually protest and stand up against the delegitimization and attacks against the state of Israel the way they used to. Instead, they only let students support Israel nonconfrontationally: op-Ed's in the student paper nobody actually reads, bagel lunches, and endless talks by pro-israel speakers. But whenever a student activist wants to actually go out there and protest, or do something brazen and loud, they get shut down. When Alexandra was at Columbia, it was Hillel that was telling her not to oppose Israel Apartheid Week with anything, acting that if we pretended it didn't exist it would go away. When her group put up the Pinocchio, it was Hillel that was acting embarrassed and telling them to take it down, even going so far as to publish op Ed's in disapproval. Later, at least one member of the SSI board of directors (aka big donor) vetoed Alexandra for a position at SSI's National due to their belief that the Pinocchio was unnecessarily confrontational and "gauche." This is how real activists get stifled, and why pro-Israel activists aren't respected as activists.
3. Too many young campus activists are afraid due to the priorities of Jewish "leaders", and come across as lacking courage in their convictions as a result
SJP gets support because they have the most attractive trait in the world – confidence. They're absolutely unapologetic, certain of everything they say, and this courage in their convictions gives people the idea that they're standing up for the truth. In contrast Jewish activists engaged in the same battle of narratives, despite having the truth and the backing of a Jewish state, army, and now the current US Administration, cower in fear. Instead of standing strong and fighting back in a way that is considered admirable to their fellow college students, they engage in the classic and standard diaspora Jewish pastime of blending and melting into their host society.
When Alexandra was in college, her parents said, "don't join these activists, they're going nowhere in life, there's no money in that, it will hurt your career prospects – instead work hard and make enough money to donate to organizations." The problem is that everyone's parents seem to be telling them that. Meanwhile, Muslim and Palestinian parents, with the encouragement of groups such as CAIR, encourage their children to push their way into activism by any means necessary by starting and leading groups on campus and pursuing internships in the White House. As a result of this Jewish aversion to pro-Israel activism (which is a sad deviation from the Jewish legacy of activism in general), everyone thinks they will be the big donor instead of the big doer. As a result, while there is a lot of money being thrown around, not a lot of meaningful pro-Israel advocacy is getting done.
4. We aren't relatable in the slightest, because we are led by people who aren't in touch with the campus zeitgeist
The big issue today is that our side has guys in suits and the other side has grassroots activists who are relatable. The big difference between left-wing anti-Israel activists and pro-Israel activists is that the leftists aren't afraid to go to jail for their beliefs. They'll get arrested and hauled off by the NYPD for blocking the entrance to the Birthright building and refusing to move. In contrast, our "leaders" prevent us from even silently picketing against blatant antisemitism by threatening to withhold funding and support, for fear of rocking the boat and offending donors. They believe that the aggressive activism of left-wing is off-putting and will turn students away, because they are thinking from the perspective of the forty-something year old mid-level professionals that they are. They generally see any kind of genuine, idealistic activism as infantile. They don't acknowledge or even realize that young adults on college campuses admire this type of brazen courage and desire to emulate it to feel part of an important change. This soft "leadership" teaches students their opinions of what constitutes appropriate activism as if it were law. They even state that there is psychological research that "proves" their points (without citing a single study, of course), and enact harsh punishments and ostracism on those who dare transgress their modus operandi. We are unsure whether they do this because it is what they genuinely believe or do this out of fear that offending others will reduce donations, but regardless, one thing is for certain – we all know what happens when nobody is offended: it means nothing has been done.
The reality is that activism doesn't require huge dollars, it requires huge voices. Our donations are going to professional fundraisers who in turn do nothing more than to fundraise for more money to perpetuate the bloated and ineffective system that enabled them to be in this position in the first place, where employees who are actual activists are paralyzed in fear and constantly walking on eggshells.
Due to the fact that their biggest influences come from older people, the inevitable generation gap impedes their ability to get what needs to be done, done. It makes it difficult if not impossible to break down barriers, kick down the doors, stage actual protests, and be proper "badasses" enough for their fellow students to admire them and feel that they are standing up for a worthwhile cause.

What does being a part of a church really mean?
Confirmation at DUMC is for students in Grades 8 - 12. This program is designed to help educate students on what exactly being part of the church means. They will be able to hear stories, read Scriptures, and ask questions about faith. Ultimately, our goal is that students will end class having a better understanding of church and feeling more connected to DUMC.
Membership in the church
The focus of Confirmation is on the students. It is also a time for parents to experience newness in their own faith journey. At the conclusion of Confirmation, students will be confirmed as members of our church. If you are not currently members of DUMC, we highly encourage you to become members as well.
There will be a total of 15 classes, three of which will be visits to learn about other ways of worship. Students may miss up to three classes.
In order for this Confirmation season to be a success, please consider volunteering. We need leaders who will be constant throughout the year and assistants who can rotate within their group. You can elect to be in a class with your child or in another group. We will also need people who would be willing to be certified to drive the church bus or van.
You can volunteer when you register your child. Contact Allie Sample with any questions.
Engage your student in conversation
We hope you will ask your student what they are learning and share stories with them about your own faith history. Many times, students don't have a good idea of why their parents value church or why they are even in Confirmation. We hope you'll spend time with them discussing things like:
- Why do you think church is important for your own life? For theirs?
- Why do you want your youth to go through the Confirmation process?
- When did you first start going to church? Why?
- What do you struggle with when it comes to your own faith?
- Where have you seen God in your own life?
- What core beliefs do you have about your own faith? Which of these do you hope to instill in your child?
Confirmation is a special rite of passage and we hope that this year will be both helpful and impactful for your child. We are honored to walk with you and your child during this time of faith formation. Thank you for giving us the opportunity!

What is Cloth Cover Factor| Derivation of Cover Factor Formula
What is Cloth Cover Factor?
Cover factor is nothing but the numerical value indicating the extent to which the area of a fabric is covered by component yarns. Fabric cover of fabric is denoted by k.
|Cover Factor Formula
There are two cover factors for woven fabric:
- Warp cover factor
- Weft cover factor
In cotton system cloth cover in particular direction (warp cover factor or weft cover factor) is calculated by taking the ration of threads per inch and square root of the yarn count (cotton count/English count).
What is concept of Similar Cloths?
Two fabrics may be manufactured using same raw material but they may differ in other parameters like:
- Yarn Count
- Twist in Yarn
- Thread Density (EPI, PPI)
- Weave etc.
When two fabric samples are having same cover factor but they differ in above mentioned points then they are called as similar cloths.
Factional Cover & Derivation of Cover Factor
Fractional cover may be defined as the fraction of the total fabric area that is 'covered' by the component yarns.
|Factional Cover
Relative closeness of yarns in a woven fabric depends on the ration of yarn diameter (d) & yarn spacing (s). This ratio of yarn diameter (d) to yarn spacing (s) is known as relative cover.
Relative Cover=d/s,
Percentage Cover= (d x 100)/s
In ideal model, 'S' will be equal to 1/n, where n is the number of threads per unit length.
The fractional cover could be expressed in terms of d and n, i.e.
Fractional cover = d ×n
With a woven fabric, two values of the fractional cover are necessary, one for warp and one for the weft.
When staple fibre and multifilament yarns are considered, yarns flatten in fabrics and assume non-circular cross-sections. One approach to this problem is to assume that the yarn cross section is still circular and derive a formula for yarn diameter.
Pierce has derived a formula for cotton spun yarn diameter as below:
Using this value of yarn diameter in fractional cover,
Total Cover Factor
Let us consider a simplified version of one-unit cell of a plain weave as shown in below figure.
|Total Cover Factor
The unit cell is rectangular ABCD.
The shaded area is the part of the total area covered by both yarns, and, because of this, it would not be strictly accurate to add the warp and weft cover values together and quotes as the total cover.
The shaded areas are each d1 × d2.
And the total area of the cell is S1 × S2
By definition,
Now the area of the shaded portion is,
Expressed as a fraction of the total area S1S2,
The shaded area (d1×d2)becomes,
The term C1 C2 must be deducted from the sum of C1 and C2.
Multiplying by 28

Sistas Shines a Light on Love and the Value of Friendship
Four smart, strong women navigate friendships, careers and their complicated love lives when Sistas premieres October 23 at 10/9c.
If you're like 84 percent of millennials, you think that working with a significant other is no big deal. Sure, there are some pros, like being able to see one another through increasingly long workdays. You could even be thinking dating a co-worker could set you up for a promotion. However, when workplace romance goes wrong. It goes really wrong.
Whether you work in a corporation or partner up creatively like Blue and Sky, hitching your work wagon to someone you have feelings for is a big mistake. Even if you are in total denial of your feelings like those two on Brooklyn. Blue. Sky., there are consequences of working with your lover that you might not even be thinking about when you catch feelings.
BET.com's love expert, Damona Hoffman, breaks down six of them here:
Want to know why your employer discourages workplace romance? Because they are liable if things go wrong and one partner turns their heartbreak into harassment.
You might think it's cute that you're boo'd up at work, but if you get a promotion or a prime assignment over a co-worker, you can bet they'll call it favoritism. To avoid making it look suspicious, your partner might even avoid giving you assignments for which you were qualified. Bottom line, don't date your boss or anyone responsible for your career advancement.
Considering that 40+ hours of your week is spent at work, when you come home, you probably want to talk about anything but your job. However, if you and your partner know the same people, systems, and challenges, it's inevitable that work conversations will creep their way into your bedroom. Not sexy!
With the rise of online dating, singles now seek a partner who shares their same interests, hobbies, and sometimes even profession. The key to any great relationship is balance and being able to maintain your individual identity within the partnership. If you work together and play together, you'll have a harder time keeping your independence.
If you've ever had trouble focusing at work when you have a good friend there to text, instant message, and meet at the coffeemaker for a chat, imagine how much harder it would be when you add sexual attraction on top of that. Kiss your productivity goodbye.
Dating in the workplace can lead to violence when things don't end well. Whether it's through micro-aggression or something more severe, do you really want to put yourself and your co-workers at risk?
Years later, if you find you collaborate better as workers than as lovers, maybe you can go the route of Blue and Sky and give it a go, but working with your significant other is a bigger risk than you might think, and by trying to juggle both, you might end up without either one.

WEN started in 1951 and today enjoys a good reputation. It specializes in manufacturing everyday tools such as chainsaws, knife sharpeners, and soldering guns. However, it has also made quite a name when it comes to high-quality generators.
In this WEN 56180 generator review, we'll have a look at this beauty. It is a portable generator capable of delivering lots of power for many hours. This gas-powered generator has a larger fuel tank and a durable engine as well.
It offers 1800W of starting power and 1500W of running power which can help you start many appliances. It may not be the biggest or most powerful generator out there but it can be suitable for users looking for a small generator.
So, without much ado, let's have a look at the features of WEN 56180 generator and decide if it is worth a buy:
4 stroke OHV engine
Recoil Manual System
EPA III and CARB compliant approved
Metal, Steel open frame
7.5 hours on 50% load.
Two 120V 12.5 Amp AC portsOne 12V DC port.
Engine Displacement
0.95 gallon
19.9 X 15.9X 17.1 inches
50 pounds
2 years limited warranty
1. Solid Engine: WEN 56180 comes equipped with a powerful 98cc 4-stroke OHV engine. This top-notch engine can deliver continuous power without heating up thanks to the internal air cooling system installed.
The air cooling system keeps the internal components cool including the engine. Hence, there is no risk of the engine sustaining any damage even if the weather is hot.
2. Power: With this generator, you get clean and continuous 1800 watts of starting power and 1500 watts of running power.
This much power enough is enough to run appliances such as blenders, slow cookers, computers, television sets, and fans.
We suggest that you always look at the label on the appliance to make sure that the generator can support it. It's not exactly made to run ACs or irons as they require a lot of power but it is enough to offer you a good night's sleep during summer or allow you to work outside when it's dark as it can support a bunch of fans and light bulbs.
3. Runtime And Gas Tank: WEN 56180 incorporates a 1.1-gallon fuel tank. It sounds a tad bit smaller but surprisingly, this tank can last up to 7.5 hours when the unit is operated on 50% load.
The longer runtime feature makes it trip and picnic ready as well. You can easily relax and count on the generator to keep you comfortable and your appliances running for a long time.
4. Outlets: There are the outlets on this generator:
Two AC 120V 12.5A three-prong wall outlets which are typical household 5-20R.
A cigarette-lighter-style 12V DC outlet on the unit.
You can utilize both the outlets together and run two appliances simultaneously. However, keep tabs on the overall power and make sure that it doesn't exceed the generator's limit.
5. Starting Mechanism: There's no electric push-button start system on this compact generator. It might be a shortcoming but the pull start system on the unit is not too bad.
The cord is flexible and it doesn't require a lot of power to pull. However, we do wish it had the electric system.
6. Portability: This generator is easy to store and carry around since it weighs only 50 pounds. Apart from being one of the lightest generators, it also has side handles for better grip. Do not worry about having to put a lot of strain on your hand thanks to these features.
7. Silent Operation: This unit has a decibel noise rating of just 65 dB when operated at 100% load. You can choose to keep the generator at a distance to make sure the noise does not bother you. If that doesn't work, consider reducing the load as it may considerably reduce the noise as well.
This is possible thanks to the engine being secured on motor mounts which suppresses noises by reducing vibrations.
8. Spark Arrestor: Generators do come with certain risks. They may malfunction or cause the attached appliances to sustain damage if the load exceeds the generator's capabilities. This, however, is not a concern with WEN 56180 as it has a spark arrestor installed.
The attestor limits power supply and ensures that your family and appliances remain safe.
9. Low Oil Shutdown: Running the generator at low oil is risky. It can cause damage to the engine and also affect connected appliances.
The solution to this problem is present in WEN 56180 in the form of low oil shutdown. This feature gauges the oil levels and notifies the user and shuts down the unit when it detects low oil.
This is important to ensure the unit continues to work well and for a long period of time. All you have to do is refill oil and you'll be once again ready to use the generator.
Q. Can I power up a heavier appliance with it?
Ans. This generator is meant to power small to medium appliances. We suggest you to never put more pressure than what it can handle (1500W).
However, some items may need more starting power and less continuous power, hence it may be able to handle some bigger appliances too due to it offering 1800 starting power.
Q. How to refill the oil and which oil to use?
Ans. It requires less than a quarter of oil. You can use synthetic oil. Follow the guide for instructions on how to refill oil.
Q. Is it difficult to move around since there are no wheels attached?
Ans. Not really, because the unit weighs only 50 pounds. You can easily carry it. This is also why it is suitable for outdoor uses.
If you are looking for a smaller portable generator that can power up small to medium appliances then WEN 56180 can be a good choice. It is durable, reliable, and with some kickass features.
Duramax is a name of quality, durability, and reliability. The company is popular for manufacturing top notch generators to serve in times of power outages and outdoor trips.
Almost all the generators made by the company are one of a kind but there's one that packs a strong punch, DuroStar DS4000S. It is a powerful and long-running generator that can cater to your electrical needs with great ease.
DuroStar DS4000S is can be used for home, work or outdoor purposes thanks to its portability, superior wattage, fuel efficiency, and multiple outlets.
Without much ado, let's dive in and find out more about this generator:
4 Stroke OHV
Manual pull start
EPA, CSA approved
Heavy-duty steel frame and isolated motor mounts
Two 120V 20 Amp, one 120-volt
Engine Displacement
Fuel Capacity
4.0 Gallons
94 pounds
1- year Warranty
Power Output: DuroStar DS4000S offers 4000 watts of surging power and 3300 watts of continuous power which is commendable for its size. It might not be a big generator but the power output it provides beats many of its rivals.
It's enough to power up many small to medium appliances including refrigerators, sump pump, television sets, microwaves, and small ACs.
The rule of thumb is to figure out the total watts you need and to ensure it remains under 3300 watts.
Runtime: This gas-powered generator has a 4-gallon fuel tank. When full, it will continue to provide juice to the connected appliances for up to 8 hours at 50% load.
This takes care of your outdoor trips and longer power outages at homes as well. Hence, it's a viable unit for both purposes. Plus, 8 hours of uptime is enough to ensure you can have a peaceful sleep. Moreover, you may even opt to reduce the load to enjoy more uptime.
Fuel Gauge: When you're on a camping expedition and want to use the generator for many hours then it's necessary to keep a tab on fuel consumption.
Timely refills will prevent sudden tripping. Thankfully, DuroStar DS4000S comes with a fuel reading gauge that allows you to check the remaining fuel in the tank. This makes it easier to know when to fill the time so that you do not have to live a moment without power.
Powerful Engine: The unit incorporates a solid 208cc 4 stroke OHV engine that keeps on pumping consistent wattage power. Another interesting feature of the engine is its ability to keep the entire unit cool with its air-cool technology.
It will minimize heat accumulation and make sure that the generator doesn't overheat.
Starting Mechanism: DuroStar DS4000S works with the simple cord pulling mechanism. All you need to do is pull the cord 2 to 3 times with force to turn the generator on.
While it is not as good or comfortable as the electric button some generators have, it's still not the most difficult mechanism since the generator typically starts in a single pull. However, it may change if you do not provide the unit with the type of care it needs.
Low Oil Indicator: It's essential to keep an eye on the oil present in the tank to ensure you never get out of it. Operating the unit when it's low on oil can cause the unit to malfunction. It may even be bad for connected appliances as low oil can result in voltage fluctuations as well.
This is a major concern but with DuroStar DS4000S, you won't have to worry about such problems thanks to its low oil shutoff feature. The unit will shut down automatically when the oil gets low.
It may sound like a hindrance to some but it is important for your safety. You can always refill the oil and turn it back on. Filling the oil is not a problem here. Just follow the guidelines given in the manual.
Noise: This generator is not super quiet and produces noise at 71 decibels. However, thanks to the muffler attached, it is reduced to 69 decibels at 50% loud.
While it is not too loud, it may be too much for some users. Hence, we suggest to use a cord and keep the generator at a good distance to minimize inconvenience.
Super Durable: The generator comes enclosed in a durable steel frame and the engine comes equipped on motor mounts. This makes the generator super sturdy and also helps reduce vibrations.
Safety Components: The generator is quite safe to use thanks to features like low oil indicator, voltmeter, and circuit breaker. You already know what the low oil indicator does, the other two features are also equally important:
Voltmeter: Helps gauge volt to ensure you never go overboard.
Circuit Breaker: Cuts off power to protect appliances in case of fluctuations due to overload.
Power Outlets: The unit contains 3 outlets:
Two 120V, 20-amp 3-prong outlets
Oe 120-volt 30-amp twist-lock outlet.
The benefit of the 30-amp twisting lock outlet is that you can connect the generator directly to an RV and power up a few appliances that fall under 3300 watts.
It's RV ready, hence suitable for outdoor uses.
Weight: DS4000S only weighs 94 pounds and also has side handles for two people to easily carry it. To make things easier. In addition to this, you can also install wheels for easy handling.
Warranty: The unit comes with a 1-year warranty.
Q. What is the role of a muffler in a generator?
Ans. It helps suppress the noise by reducing vibration and sucking the noise.
Q. Can it be used for camping and RV?
Ans. It is an RV ready generator, hence it can be used for RVs. Plus, it can handle extreme weather conditions thanks to the presence of a sturdy frame, hence using it outdoors should not be a problem either.
Q. Is the company reliable?
Ans. DuroStar is one of the most respectable names when it comes to generators. It offers excellent customer support and is known for its great products as well. Hence, it's quite reliable.
If you are in search of a portable generator then DuroStar DS4000S can be an excellent choice. It is quite powerful and easy to use. Plus, the warranty can also offer you peace of mind.
Westinghouse is one of the oldest names in the industry and dates back to 1886. From energy solutions to smart appliances, this company does it all. However, Westinghouse is best known for the durable and efficient generators they make.
In this review, we're going to have a look at Westinghouse Wgen 7500, one of the company's top products.

Champion Power Equipment Hybrid Generator Review: FAQ
Q. How can I improve run-time?
Ans. You have two options:
Connect two units to increase power. This would allow you to even run bigger appliances without any trouble.
Run it at reduced capacity to increase run-time. However, reduced power means you will not be able to run heavy appliances.
Q. Is it enclosed?
Ans. This generator is not enclosed like most inverter generators and has a steel frame instead. This makes the generator look like a conventional generator unlike other inverter generators out there. However, don't let it scare you as the generator is still very quiet.
Q. Are there special considerations?
Ans. The company recommends to first run the generator for about five hours using Oil SAE 10W-30. You can then change the oil.
Q. Can I run it in rainy conditions?
Ans. Yes, it can if you purchase the storm shield. It consists of frame rods that can handle tough weather conditions without affecting the natural flow of air.
Other than this, you can also purchase a cover to prevent dirt and dust.
Q. How altitude affects this generator?
Ans. You should swap the main jet with the altitude jet if you are 1,000ft above sea level.
Not doing so can cause the generator to malfunction. Similarly, switch back to the main jet once you get lower.
Champion 100302 3500W can be a good option if you want a generator that's reliable but not too big or powerful. While it does lack a few features, the benefits are still there. Plus, it's affordable as well.

What is that sexy font Google uses in all their products?
So as I was watching the official announcement of Flutter 1.0, I once again notice that all of their typographic designs used in their product used that same font: Product Sans. It's slick, I have to have it.
Unfortunately the only thing that Google has on its official website is basically a short message saying 'Nah, you can't have it, mofo'
But in all my years as a graphic designer, I've never let something as trivial as a licensing statement from a multi-billion dollar company deter me from trying to get my sticky fingers on the font.
So here we are:

After the success of the router replacement in a day trip to McKinney, I decided I could make a day trip to Bryan to work on some issues they were having there. Bryan is half the driving time of McKinney, so I knew I'd have a lot more time to do things there. I reserved the company car and made plans to come on site. According to the weather, we were supposed to see a bunch of rain. They said it could be up to 7 inches. The clouds in Austin didn't look too threatening when I left and it seemed like Austin was spared when I was there. On my way to Bryan, the clouds looked a bit more threatening.
A little outside of Bryan, it started raining. The parking lot was definitely wet and I had to park a ways away in the rain since the parking lot was packed.
I could definitely tell I'm in Aggie Country.
I was able to do the work that needed to be done there and then I hit the road. It was still a bit rainy. One thing that sucks about Texas drivers is they freak out in the rain and will even go in the ditch. I had to sit and wait a while because the road was closed off due to an accident where a semi appeared to lose control.
After waiting a while, they finally had one lane open. From there it was smooth sailing back to Austin. I have noticed these day trips do get a lot of stuff done, so if the location is near, I may be making more of these in the future to resolve some of the issues that have been hanging out there a while but need someone on site to fix.
