Because your cat should use a litter box on a normal basis, it is necessary to be sure that you pick the best one. It can lead to a cat to eliminate away from the litter box on account of the urgency to urinate. Every cat adores a heated bed, and don't neglect to have a look at the automated cat feeders and water fountains. Or, the cat may simply not bother attempting to cram into a too compact box. Additionally, cats have varying needs for privacy, and a few may would rather have a covered box because of this. Be aware that in the event that you have a bigger cat, perhaps it doesn't do the job for you.
Don't forget, the box you select needs to interest your cat and might take some transition to adjust to another box. As an example, if you find a cat straining to eliminate, you would be aware that the cat has an issue, which may be because of urinary or intestinal blockage, or another disease or condition like a severe urinary infection. Some cats end up lifting up their rear whilst urinating, thereby wetting the wall supporting the box. Even when you have several cats in your house, this litterbox should get the job done quite well, and it'll ultimately help you save money on litter because you won't need to buy as much as you normally would.
My cat used it with no issue or adaptation period. Cats easily adapt to this manner of box and relish the privacy. It's big, therefore the cats are happy. Also, many cats aren't going to like being in a modest enclosed and smelly spot. It's not strange to see 1 cat sitting on the cover of the box, prepared to pounce whenever the other cat exits the litter box.
Automatic Cat Box – the Story
Picking a litter ought to be a team effort. It still tracks litter away from the unit which will take place with any kind of litter box. Non-clumping litter is just a simple clay mixture that enables effortless absorption and isn't harsh on kitty's paws. If you're not utilizing a clumping litter, you'll need to totally alter the litter sooner than every week. In that case, you might try out a clumping litter. It is not difficult to alter the litter out and it'll work with standard liners. Kitty litter, for all its superb practicality, can create a significant mess.
Want to Know More About Automatic Cat Box?
Getting a bigger box will assist with that issue. These boxes do not permit them this luxury. Then you simply might need more than 1 cat box. Cat litter boxes might not be anyone's preferred subject, but they're essential equipment for everyone who shares their home with feline companions. On occasion a litter box has to be in a region where a plain box in view isn't desired. Automated litter boxes have some sort of automobile flushing or car cleaning mechanism so you don't need to scoop it out for yourself. In the event you don't know already, automated litter boxes are essentially automated toilets made for cats.

This article was originally published in Lexis Nexis on 4th April 2019
Pensions analysis: David Davison, director and owner of Spence & Partners who leads the public sector, charities and not-for-profit practice and heads a team advising third sector bodies on all aspects of pension provision, discusses the recent government consultation which intends to ensure that exit payments paid to public sector employees are 'value for money for the taxpayer'.
Original news
HM Treasury opens consultation on restricting exit payments for public sector workers, LNB News 10/04/2019 90
HM Treasury has opened a consultation outlining how the government will introduce a £95,000 cap on exit payments for public sector workers. The policy will see UK civil service, local government, police forces, schools and the NHS taking part in the first stage of implementation. The consultation sets out proposed draft regulations, schedule to the regulations, accompanying guidance and directions. The deadline for responses is 11:59pm on 3 July 2019.
What is the background to HM Treasury's consultation on draft regulations restricting exit payments in the public sector published on 10 April 2019?
There has been government concern for some time about the level of severance packages in the public sector. This issue dates back to May 2015, with the government announcing it would bring forward proposals to end six figure pay-outs, then running an initial consultation with proposals in February 2016 and implementing changes in the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 (SBEEA 2015) and amending in the Enterprise Act 2016.
SBEEA 2015 required secondary legislation which had a first reading in the House of Commons in September 2017, with them now consulting on the detail based upon the proposals issued on 10 April 2019. It's been pretty slow progress, but I suppose no-one should be that surprised by the contents. When this was looked at initially, there seemed to be some high profile severances and a real concern about senior staff in the public service exiting for large severances and then returning to another similar job a short time later.
The proposals follow research they'd carried out which suggested that more than 1,600 highly paid workers received payments of more than £100,000 in 2016/17 costing a total of £198m. They estimate that the total cost of exit payments across the public sector in 2016/17 were £1.2bn. So, the proposed limit will impact less than 17% of total payments and any saving likely to be materially less than that as still some pay-out will be made. The focus is going to be very much limiting large payments at the top-end and not those for the vast majority.
What are the key proposals for change and why are they being implemented now? Are there any specific exclusions or exemptions under the proposals?
The proposals would implement a cap on the value of redundancy lump sums and pension top-up payments to £95,000 in total. Those organisations impacted are specified in the proposals, but it is the ultimate aim that the legislation will apply to all public sector employers at a future date so effectively we have a two-stage roll-out.
Payments made by devolved authorities are exempt, as are payments from secret intelligence service, the security service, the government communications HQ and the armed forces given their unique requirements. Payments from fire and rescue authorities are also proposed to be exempt as they do not increase the actuarial value of the pension payable.
As a general rule, accrued pension entitlements are exempt as they do not incur an additional cost to the public purse however payments which do involve an additional employer cost (such as 'strain costs' payable on redundancy) would be included. Other exemptions include death-in-service benefits, incapacity benefits, a payment in lieu of contractual leave not taken, payment in lieu of notice or any payment made by court order or a tribunal.
The proposals provide a standard legal underpin, however they do not prevent employers from applying alternatives.
How would the introduction of the proposals impact on public sector employees and employers?
It is the employer's responsibility to ensure that a payment is not made in excess of the cap. This will place an additional administrative burden on employers. Clearly for employers it would reduce the overall cost of severance packages. It is also likely to make planning for these costs more certain. For employers there will be a requirement to consolidate all payments to ensure that the cap isn't breached. This will mean ensuring that 'strain costs' are identified early in the process to allow these to be incorporated.
Employee payments will at the higher end be lower which may influence decisions about exiting as it may make them less attractive or indeed unaffordable. This may also make the option of restructuring senior roles more difficult for employers possibly trapping senior employees in roles they are not wholly committed to. That said it may promote greater transferability between roles.
There is some guidance on the order of payments in Section 6 of the draft Restriction of Public Sector Exit Payments Regulations 2019. The legislation also proposes some flexibility in the implementation of the cap. Where there is flexibility—such as the priority between cash payments and pension strain costs—these will have to be clearly communicated to the employee to allow the required decisions to be taken. It's likely that engagement will be required at a much earlier stage in the process to facilitate this.
One major concern with the proposals is that they would create a two-tier system in the public sector between employees who are in funded pension schemes and those who are in unfunded schemes. In funded schemes the 'strain cost' for early retirement would be deducted from the capped figure or benefits reduced. For those in unfunded schemes no equivalent mechanism exists to recoup redundancy/early retirement costs even though the same equivalent cost would be experienced by the Exchequer. This could mean that employees (and in some cases employers) in unfunded schemes benefit from a much better deal than their counterparts in funded schemes.
Employers will also have to be very careful in the implementation period not to take decisions which could result in costs materially higher than the level of the cap when it is imposed.
What is the timetable for implementation of the changes? What are HM Treasury's next steps?
The consultation will last for 12 weeks to 3 July 2019. Responses to the consultation may be published. Post this, the draft Regulations may be implemented as proposed or revised.

Hmm... I thought just the opposite: in case you delay color conversion, you'll have to color-convert every time you change zoom-level, but in case you do it during updating original image, you'll do it only once. Maybe you are right with delaying it... Color conversion shouldn't depend on the scale much - it's almost linear operation... > In any case, I'm not officially getting confused myself about mipmapping the > projection...

I don't think we should move it to krita/image, as opengl canvas seems not to depend on our internal prescaling. It seems to have it's own mipmapping, downsampling and more than that it does it with the help of gpu. ( Lukas, am i right? ) At the moment, i think the best way would be the following: 1) Pyramid replaces current KisProjectionCache. And KisPrescaledProjection requests it for all scale operations. 2) Pyramid uses quite modificated "paint device" based on tiled data manager class. class "KisSimplifiedPaintDevice" { private: KisDataManager m_dataManager; public: void loadFromUsualPaintDevice(KisPaintDeviceSP sourcePaintDevice, QRect rect); QImage converToQImage(QRect rect); // Here is the difference from usual paint device KisSimplifiedPaintDeviceSP getDowsampledByFactor2(); void setMonitorProfile(KoColorProfile*); }; What is the difference from regular paint device and why should we create new class? i) We leave a path for future experiments: should we color convert before or after downsampling. We can choose inside the class where to do it. ii) Downsampling is moved to lower level. What do you think? -- Dmitry Kazakov

Sable Queen Air Mattress Comprehensive Review
The sable queen air mattress is one solid option for a small budget. The design is essentially the same to the twin version of this airbed (Read the the review). For under 80 bucks you get a comfortable queen sized airbed that features a high-powered internal pump. Inflation and deflation is quick and easy and the foldable design makes for simple storage.
After testing this queen-sized version of the Sable air mattress and comparing it to similar products in the same price range (see chart above), we find that it is satisfactory in regard to most aspects. The mattress definitely provides a comfortable sleeping solution. The stability and support is high. This can be a major issue of lower priced models, because they don't feature a proper internal air beam construction.
The internal electric pump is perfect for easy and quick inflation, which takes about 5 minutes. The pump can be a little bit noisy. If you are looking for more silent pumps you should check out the more luxurious products above 100 dollar price point. Here is how the inflation and deflation time compares to other inexpensive queen mattresses that we have tested:
With regard to the overall design, we find it a little bit boring. But when you are just looking for an inexpensive sleeping solution for non-regular usage, then this one can definitely be for you!

How does one have a bad massage anyhow?
Well, here it is:
Its all to common when Im working on someone new that I hear horrific examples of a therapist either being really unethical or just not having a clue as to what they are doing. The point of this, by the way is not to bash anyone else's business, but to bring up a very critical issue that needs to be more understood and communicated. Massage is a grey area profession... We are healthcare providers, and there is clinical evidence that massage helps many mental, biochemical, and physical ailments. However, we are also in a place where we are providing ambience, experience, and similar to a hair dresser many times we are also somewhat counselors to our clients emotional needs.
That being said, schooling and certification requirements are pretty low, thus setting the bar just as low. Before working with a therapist, you should make sure they have just as much of a clinical knowledge of your body and ailments as well as having a personality that meshes well with yours. Far to often I hear clients talking about our Massage Therapy Practice being a gem because of the diversity of people working here, yet they all provide really deeply profound work. I have a lot of pride in my team, and everything we have accomplished, but I also want to see the professional standards elevated, and to see Massage Therapy as a medical service similar to Physical Therapy or Chiropractic. It has nothing to do with how many years someone has been doing massage, or how much experience they have, because in my experience someone coming right out of their massage school can be better than someone who's been in practice for 10+ years. You either know what you're doing, and have a relaxing touch, or you do not.. its that simple. The only way we can get there is if clients demand more, ask more questions, and get more involved in their healthcare.
Heres a list of questions you can ask your Therapist:
A truly humble, gifted therapist will appreciate a challenge and will respect you more for asking these kinds of questions. It means you're serious about your health, and massage. They will work harder for you to satisfy you and make sure you'll become a regular client. If they don't, however, you now know that therapist was not the right one for you in the first place
Get curious, and get some massage!
Tyler has been in practice as a massage therapist since 2010, but has always had an affinity as a healer and an interest in mental, spiritual, and physical health.
Struggling with his own auto-immune disease, he has found great value in alternative healing modalities such as massage and yoga, and continues to this day to learn as much as he can about health and wellness through the holistic and scientific communities.
As the sole owner of Inner Harmony Healing, he has enforced the idea that massage therapy should be a medical service. Therefore, he and the rest of the Inner Harmony team have gone through extensive vocational training to ensure the quality of the massage therapy services they offer to the greater Sacramento and Fair Oaks area.

With thanks to the publisher Harper Collins for my ARC copy via NetGalley
The Blurb
What if the person you thought you knew best turns out to be someone you never knew at all . . . ?
Andrea knows everything about her mother, Laura. She knows she's spent her whole life in the small beachside town of Belle Isle; she knows she's never wanted anything more than to live a quiet life as a pillar of the community; she knows she's never kept a secret in her life. Because we all know our mothers, don't we?
But all that changes when a trip to the mall explodes into violence and Andrea suddenly sees a completely different side to Laura. Because it turns out that before Laura was Laura, she was someone completely different. For nearly thirty years she's been hiding from her previous identity, lying low in the hope that no one would ever find her. But now she's been exposed, and nothing will ever be the same again.
The police want answers and Laura's innocence is on the line, but she won't speak to anyone, including her own daughter. Andrea is on a desperate journey following the breadcrumb trail of her mother's past. And if she can't uncover the secrets hidden there, there may be no future for either one of them. . . .
I'm not going to waffle on in this review. Keeping it short and sweet because I simply want to get the message across to fans and to those who may not have read anything by the author Karin Slaughter to absolutely read this book because it's one of the best, if not the best thrillers I have read so far this year.
This book isn't part of a series and is a stand alone.
I'm a huge fan of Karin Slaughter and in my opinion this is the best book she has ever written. Going straight in at the very top of my list of outstanding books of the year.
The plot is so intricately woven that the sheer brilliance of it takes my breath away
About the Author
Karin Slaughter is the No. 1 internationally-bestselling author of more than a dozen novels, including the Will Trent and Grant County series and the instant New York Times bestsellers Cop Town, Pretty Girls and The Good Daughter. There are more than thirty-five million copies of her books in print around the world. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

How to Buy a Quality Float Tube
Remember, no two or three float tubes are made exactly the same. So, you need to look closer to reveal the existing differences and also understand how those benefits affect you.
Round vs Pontoon
Originally, float tubes were designed to be rounded. In other words, they used to resemble donuts. The problem with that shape, however, is that it makes the job of navigating quite a difficult one.
That's because a rounded design lacks the basic aerodynamics. As you can imagine, a round shape can make it extremely difficult to cut through the water.
The pontoon breed of float tubes is particularly meant to secure the benefits of round tubes but provide better maneuverability.
So, if you're torn which one of the two to settle for, we'd suggest keeping those subtle factors in mind. For stability, go for a round-shaped tube. For speed and enhanced maneuverability, go for a pontoon tube.
The weight of the Tube
The good news is that a vast majority of float tubes are pretty light in weight which also makes them a tad easy to transport. But even with that said, it's important to double-check the weight of the tube before buying it. Some newer, larger float tubes have been proven to be far from ideal for long hikes.
So, if you're planning to take long walks with your float tube, it's important to remember that every ounce will always count.
Is The Float Tube Backpackable?
If you fancy long hikes, then it's important to go for backpackable float tubes. That's because such tubes are easier to carry and even take to the remote waters. Yet another benefit of this unique tube design is that it makes the entire package less bulky and relatively light.
Is The Backrest Adjustable?
It's important to make sure that whatever float tube you settle for is well-padded. Besides that, it should pack an adjustable backrest. These two factors are extremely as far as your comfort goes. So, don't compromise on them.
Which Is The Best Float Tube For The Money?
The Classic Accessories – Teton Fishing Float Tube Inflatable particularly stood out for us. That's because besides being good looking, it made of high-quality, puncture-proof materials. Besides that, it has a comfortable and practical backrest.
Most importantly, the Teton boasts a hydrodynamic hull which provides for an enhanced steering and tracking experience.
Final Thoughts
No matter your level of experience in fishing, a good float tube can provide you with a fun-filled way to enjoy being out there on the waters. But in order for that to happen in a sustainable manner, it's important to make sure the tube meets all the basic, quality standards.

Who Funds Your Life?
Tom Dennis – President, Effective Engineering
Who funds your life? Who provides the money to allow you to live, to buy
groceries, clothing, etc., to pay rent or a mortgage, to provide the ability
to get along in life? Most people will say it is their employer who pays
their salary who does this. While technically true, your employer is not
really who funds your life. They may provide the paycheck, but where to
they get the funds to provide you with your funds? Think about it.
In response to my last e-Newsletter (see
eN-060302 – A Fresh Start!), I received an email from Bruce
Haycock, a consultant at Advantage Business in Auckland, New Zealand (who
says Effective Engineering doesn't have international reach!
Bruce made the observation that in consulting, it is a fresh start after
every non-sale, and for that matter, after every sale, because if you don't
get the engagement, it's back to the drawing board for the next potential
engagement, and if you do, then it's a new situation virtually every time.
Bruce also mentioned that his daughter recently got married, which made him
think of an earlier e-Newsletter (see
eN-051006 – Project Management: Here Comes The Bride!). His
daughter's wedding, as with mine, was an irreplaceable and special
experience of joy, memories, and strong emotions. It was also a time of
significant expenses that had to be paid. He realized that, as with all
other expenses in life, everything gets paid for by one's customers,
and that we never quite serve our customers with the respect they truly
deserve, for the good they bring to us all. As I reflected on Bruce's
observations, it became evident that this was a great topic for an
e-Newsletter, and here we are!
Many people in business tend to consider customers as a necessary evil or a
nuisance that must be tolerated or humored. This is particularly true for
the people in a company who seldom interact directly with customers;
engineers are often a prime example. If you ask them where their salary
comes from, they'll tell you it comes from their company. While the check
they receive each week or month may be issued by their company, the reality
is that their customers fund their life. Without customers, there would be
no company, and thus no salary to support them. This is a fact that people
often choose to ignore, and even treat their customers badly or as a source
of annoyance.
Even government workers (e.g. teachers, policemen, firemen, tax collectors,
etc.) are dependent on customers, albeit less directly. Their funding comes
via taxes (property, state or federal income, sales, etc.), which come from
taxpayers, who pay their taxes from money they make, which, in turn, comes
from their customers.
Bruce offered two examples from his business, and how a proper recognition
of the value of customers can change your approach to business and to life.
Some time ago Bruce had a landscape contracting business. One of his crew
leaders was a hard working, but hot-headed (at times) Irishman. He had
reacted poorly to a customer service complaint. Bruce ended up saying to
him, "Look here pal, you just don't understand who pays your wages around
here." His crew leader took this as a threat from Bruce to dismiss him, but
Bruce said, "No, it's not a threat from me, because I don't actually provide
your wages." "Oh yeah, who does then?" said the crew leader. Bruce said,
"The same customer you're not listening to, she pays them, along with all
the other customers." The return look from the crew leader was only half
comprehending. "Think of it this way," said Bruce, "each pay day I don't go
to the back yard of my home, dig up a box full of money and pay you from
it. What I do is bill the customers for the work you guys have done for
them, their checks come back, I bank them, and then pay the wages from that
money." The dawning of comprehension became complete.
A few months later, the crew leader told Bruce that he had been trying to
buy a more reliable family car, but the budgeting service they used told his
wife they couldn't afford the level of repayments. Bruce thought he was
going to request (demand?) a pay raise, but instead he said, "I've been
thinking about it, and is there any way my customers could help me make the
payments?" Bruce told him that was awesomely brilliant, and they went
through the crew leader's profit budget and found that if he could add one
more customer to his own truck schedule, upsell a couple more services to
existing customers, maintain his retention rates, and be willing to
supervise another truck crew, then his monthly bonus return would more than
cover his repayment shortfall. The crew leader went out and bought the car
that weekend, and struggled a little on the home front until the cash flow
from his share of the productivity improvements kicked in. A valuable
lesson on the value of customers was well learned.
Bruce himself had another example. At one point in raising their kids, his
wife and he decided the local school options weren't going to suit one of
them. But the fees for a private school option were a problem. Bruce and
his wife were feeling a bit glum, until it hit Bruce that he could get his
customers to pay. He determined that he would need to add about 30 more
contract customers to add the extra cash flow to draw enough from the
business to pay the schooling fees. This possibility raised his energy
level and the focus needed to drive for those additional customers, and in
three months he had them.
To this day Bruce recognizes fully the value of his customers for the good
they bring to us all, and treats them with the full respect they truly
I would like to offer my sincere thanks to Bruce for making what should be
an obvious fact evident to me in such clear terms. While I know Bruce only
by email, I feel we have developed a kinship that can turn into a
friendship; I hope that at some point we can meet in person.
The lesson that Bruce has made apparent is just how important customers are,
not just to our businesses, but to our very existence. We all need to make
stronger efforts to appreciate them, value them, and treat them with the
respect and dignity that they deserve. It is our
customers who truly fund our lives!

|A man with one watch knows the time. A man with two is never sure.
— Parker
The Leverage team helps beleaguered Mississippi National Guardsman Wayne Scott find justice against the unscrupulous construction firm that foreclosed on his home. Knowing all too well what it feels like to fail as a father, Nathan Ford seeks solace in the bottle, thus putting the team - and the job - in serious jeopardy.
The ClientEdit
- Wayne Scott
The MarksEdit
- Henry Retzig and his sons Dennis and Randy.
The ConEdit
Sophie poses as a winter sports athlete, Leena Christinger, a luge bronze medalist, to interest Randy Retzig. Randy has an idea for a winter sports-music style festival. Sophie pretends to have recently bought the resort and that she is interested in his idea. Sophie asks him to buy into the resort so her partners can use his idea for the relaunch.
After convincing Randy that they do own the resort, he reveals that he needs his father to write the $500,000 check that he offered. The team heads to Miami expecting to have to convince Henry that the idea is solid, but he is all for it and only Dennis is against the idea. When they experience static in their earbuds, the team has to plant a booster for the earbud's signal. Hardison discovers later that standard law enforcement equipment had been installed in the Retzing's house.
As Dennis writes out the check, he tells Sophie he has turned disaster relief into a gold mine of approximately 400 homes.
Horrified at the idea of so many families losing their homes, Nate tells Sophie to tear up the check. She does, and the team decide to go with a new con, but with Dennis as the focus.
Nate acts as himself, posing as an insurance investigator, and introduces Dennis to the Glengarry Glen Death scheme, where people invest in dying people to get their insurance policies by using a list of names compiled by Nate. At first, Dennis is resistant and wants confirmation of the terminal cases.
On the way back to the hotel, Nate is pulled over by Lieutenant Stone of the state police, who is trying to get the Retzings on racketeering charges.
Parker has to pose as Lisa Valdez, a terminally ill brain cancer patient, an actual "patient" chosen by Dennis from the list. The team rigs the MRI by hooking up the monitors to a chamber in another room. Hardison and Eliot rig up a cadaver to appear to have a brain tumor by injecting the head cavity with liquid wax. When Dennis's doctor views the MRI scans, she is surprised that Parker is still alive with the size of the tumor she has.
Dennis still doesn't want to go into the scheme, but Nate convinces him of its validity by pretending that another patient on the list has died. Dennis says he'll buy in, but he has to move some funds around. Nate pretends to be discouraged and says that it's for "serious investors." Dennis then offers $5 million to buy in.
The revealEdit
The team tricked Henry and Randy into thinking Dennis was about to take all the money in the company's account so Henry would give co-signing control to Randy. Randy then signed paperwork without reading it, which gave the Leverage team the controlling interest in the company, thinking it was for his Winter X Games idea.
Henry Retzing is arrested after transferring the company's money to an overseas account to get it away from Dennis, which triggered an investigation. Nate tells Lieutenant Stone to wait two days and he would get them to cross the line.
Moments after Henry's arrest, Dennis gets a call from Nate, who revealed that the patient list he showed him earlier were actually the names of the families whose homes they've stolen. Nate then declares that those families's homes will be returned back to their rightful owners, then points out that since he and his group now control Retzing Company, they are repossessing their house, which was declared company property. Ironically, as the remaining Retzings are evicted from their home, it is now taken by the Scotts.
- Vince Fetkey, Hans von Schwesterkrank (Eliot)
- Leena Christinger (Sophie)
- Lisa Valdez (Parker)
Episode NotesEdit
- The Retzings are based upon real construction companies that were stealing homes from Hurricane Katrina victims in and around New Orleans.
- This was the first episode to have the earbuds experience interference. When Parker plants a booster, Hardison soon discovers local law enforcement was also listening in.
- Jonathan Frakes makes an uncredited cameo appearance in this episode. He is the patient sitting next to Nate when he is communicating with the rest of the team with the earbuds in the hospital. Frakes is one of the directors of the series.
- The "let's go steal a mountain" line is repeated in Season 4's The Long Way Down Job, with the implication that Nate doesn't remember using it before because he was "super drunk."
- This is the first time that Hardison's tell in rock, paper, scissors is mentioned. It is still there in "The Gone Fishin' Job."
- Parker obviously has no love for her biological father as shown when Sohpie instructs her to think of a sad moment in her life in order to grift as a terminal patient. When Sophie suggests thinking about the time her father died, Parker struggled not to laugh.
- The list of names of the terminally ill patients was actually a list of Dennis' victims and he didn't recognize any of them.

What Changes Can You Expect for the 2017 Dodge Viper?
Fiat Chrysler have recently announced the changes to be made for the 2017 Dodge Viper, and the Viper keeps its spot at the top of the premium sports car category. While the new Dodge sports car will mark the Viper's last year, Dodge has gone out with a bang, with six special edition models planned for the vehicle's swansong year.
Explore the 2017 Dodge Viper
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the legendary Viper. One of the most impressive and envy-inducing nameplates in the world for a solid quarter-century, the Viper is an expression of pure driving joy.
If you're in the market for a sports car that's ready for the track, the Viper ACR is the right choice for you. Only introduced in 2016, the ACR holds production car records at 13 race tracks across North America. However, the Viper will now be expanded with six world-class special edition models, including:
- Viper Snakeskin Edition GTC
- Viper 1:28 Edition ACR
- Viper GTS-R Commemorative Edition ACR
- Viper Snakeskin Edition ACR
- Viper VoooDoo II Edition ACR
- Viper Dodge Dealer Edition ACR
From the classic white on blue color combination (designed after the 1998 Viper GTS-R GT2 Championship Edition) to the eye-catching green hue of the Snakeskin models, these special editions are already attracting particular interest.
Of course, even the standard models are anything but standard. At the heart of each sits a mighty 8.4L V10 engine that puts drivers in command of up to 645 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque. The latest Viper even boasts a more responsive drive than ever before thanks to adjustable stability control, traction control, and a 4-channel anti-lock brake system, making the best even better.
Learn More About the Upcoming Dodge Viper
We're sad to be seeing the Dodge Viper go, but at least it's leaving at the top of its field. To find out more about this iconic model, contact our team at Findlay Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

Author Archive for: 'SteveMurray'
Written by Brian Thorstenson
Directed by Erin Mei-Ling Stuart
Wakefield, based on the Nathaniel Hawthorne short story of the same name, closes the season for 6NewPlays, whose six members each produce a play. Its Brian Thorstenson's turn, and his offering is a mesmerizing sequel, starting at the point where Hawthorne ends his tale of Henry Wakefield who returns to his wife after a 20-year absence. Thorstenson had free artistic rein over his production; script, casting, acting and producing. The result is a hypnotic, dark tale of abandonment, loss, the passage of time and self-purpose.
I've decided to use Hawthorne's own words to describe this odd story which he starts as a mention in a newspaper of a husband who leaves his wife, nothing to unusual albeit for the length of time which makes the story so pronounced. Hawthorne premises his fleshed-out tale thus: "Howbeit, this, though far from the most aggravated, is perhaps the strangest instance, on record, of marital delinquency; and, moreover, as remarkable a freak as may be found in the whole list of human oddities."
Hawthorne goes onto to presume what kind of man Wakefield might be and why he would walk out one night on his wife of ten years, settle into an apartment a few streets away, alter his appearance and proceed to stalk his wife for the next 20 years. Hawthorne gives us a possible motive- "Wakefield sifts his ideas, however, as minutely as he may, and finds himself curious to know the progress of matters at home – how his exemplary wife will endure her widowhood, of a week; and, briefly, how the little sphere of creatures and circumstances, in which he was a central object, will be affected by his removal. A morbid vanity, therefore, lies nearest the bottom of the affair."
Thorstenson's Wakefield open with a reunion, Henry, soaking wet from a sudden downpour uses the keys he's kept to enter his old home and confront his wife Sofia. Its an awkward moment indeed, Sofia's shock and Henry's feeble attempts to explain his absence. Brian's Henry is reserved, quiet and soft. He talks of the march of time, how people's faces change and even his home felt somehow alien. He needs a retreat from the world, a self-imposed limbo perhaps to frighten his wife.
Anne Darragh (Barbeque at SF Playhouse, August: Osage County at MTC) plays Sofia, a blend of disappointment, sadness and hurt. She's had hm declared dead, taken control of her life and moved on. She cannot comprehend Henry's actions; living so close, watching her shadows through the windows of their home and keeping his keys.
There are some moments of either fantasy or past remembrances; the pair perform a dance as an elegant, British couple (perhaps their early courtship) and engage in a vaudeville-like schtick about quantifying the 20-year gap in years, months, days, minutes and seconds. Sofia shoots Henry dead several times, a faux cumulation of her anger.
Director Erin Mei-Ling Stuart's touch is all over this production – a dancer who's choreographed over 30 pieces. The two actors perform a mirror dance and move in choreographed pantomime to the accompaniment of a live clarinet player (original score by Bruce Belton and Tina Traboulsi).
The short show, at a mere 55 minutes, has a dream-like feel that keeps you thinking. Hawthorne's story ends with Henry's return, and Thorstenson's ends, I think, with the couple's reunification. It's a strange story indeed. Hawthorne sums it up this way: "Amid the seeming confusion of our mysterious world, individuals are so nicely adjusted to a system, and systems to one another, and to a whole, that, by stepping aside for a moment, a man exposes himself to a fearful risk of losing his place forever. Like Wakefield, he may become, as it were, the Outcast of the Universe." If this is a cautionary tale not to step to far outside the mainstream, message received.
Wakefield continues through October 14th, 2018 at Studio210, 3435 Cesar Chavez Street, No. 210, San Francisco. Tickets are available online at http://www.6newplays.com/

Getting To The Point – Renovations
Improve Your Home's Value by Remodeling Your Kitchen
Do you want to enhance the value of your residence? If so then you are at the right place at the right time. The kitchen plays a very important role in any home ownership process. If you planning on selling you property or upgrading it, there are a number of factors you need to pay attention to and this includes.
The benefits of the kitchen
When purchasing a house, among the most essential facets homeowners always think about is the kitchen. With the present interior design, the kitchen allows for a great deal of things to occur including watching TV, doing homework as well as enjoying quality time together with family members and friends. As a result of this, the kitchen has a very integral role in almost any home thus making most buyers target it during the purchasing process. An upgrade of the kitchen therefore can help you increase the value of your home in the market. In addition to this, it will help you enhance the status and appeal of your home making it stand out on the market.
The way to go about designing your kitchen
In this time, there are a whole lot of kitchen Designs worth considering in the market which may enable you to sell your house at a glance. The most common one is the open plan kitchen. Although this may sound like a simple design, but there's magic in simplicity of use. If you're designing your house for the very first time, it is going to be a lot easier for you to design your kitchen out rightly, however, if you're remodeling, thinking about knocking the dining room to create more space for the kitchen. Depending with the d?cor in your home, install fixtures and fittings that matches the style and feel in your home. Granite countertops will work the magic; however, you will need to invest in the services of professionals if you do not want to miss out on any detail. Although this will cost you, in the end it'll be all worth the investments.
Look closely at your budget
Improving the value of your home through your kitchen remodeling doesn't come on a silver platter; you are going to need to invest both your time and financial resources. When you're at it, make sure that you receive the best bargain for the money. The best way to approach this is by coming up with a budget that works for you, then scout for a provider who is able to provide you with quality services at affordable costs.
For most homeowners, the kitchen is the deal breaker when it comes to selling their home. If you would like to profit from your market, then it's important you get it right along with your kitchen. Start by hiring the very best and most affordable contractors there are in the industry.

Best solutions to fix brother printer double printing error
Computers and printers are an important part of our lives. We have now become dependent on them both in a personal and professional level. The compact size of the printer has gained huge popularity in personal uses. Now getting a hard copy of a document is not difficult. And one can obtain it just by a touch of a button. But over the time this technical boon too can face a few issues. One such issue is the problem of double printing a line by the printer. Today we will look into ways that we can follow to prevent and solve such issues. And for further help and assistance, you can take help from Brother Printers Customer Support.
It is important to know that the print quality of a printer may vary according to the type of paper we use. The following types of paper are advisable for a smooth printing- thin paper (16 to 20lbs), plain paper (2o to 28 lbs), thick paper (28 to 43 lbs), and bond paper, envelop and recycled paper. Check the environment of the place where you keep the printer. The advisable environment for the printer is 50 to 90 degree Fahrenheit and 20% to 80% to humidity. High temperature and humidity can increase the amount the background shading. Ensure that you choose the right media type for the printer driver.
You can make the right media selection by going to the printer driver properties, choosing the basic tab and finding the drop-down menu for media type selection. Also, check the user's guide for the recommended media types and brother printer driver media type setting. Try to select a few different setting such as thick paper, envelope paper, recycled paper and thicker paper as one option may work better than another depending on the type of media you are using. It is important to note that thicker and thicker paper and envelopes should be fed through the MP tray. Printing on the envelope fed from the paper cassette is not a wise thing to do as it may cause ghosting and jamming of the printers. Now check the print quality by pressing menu and then click on start.
Drum cleaning- cleaning of the drum unit is a very important factor. The below-mentioned steps should be followed for cleaning the drum unit using an automatic process through the machine and a manual process using an alcohol swab or a cotton swab lightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol (note that the isopropyl alcohol is flammable and should be kept away from heat and flame). Repeat the process several times to remove certain kinds of foreign material from the drum unit surface. If the foreign material does not come out even after several cleaning then you might have to change the drum.
- First, start by turning off the machine power and also disconnect all the cables and again plug it in.
- Open the front cover of the printer and remove the drum and the toner assembly. Ensure to place the drum and toner assembly on a piece of paper in case of spilled or scattered toner.
- Now remove the toner cartridge from the drum. For that, hold down the blue lock lever on the right side of the drum unit and lifting the toner out. Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If in any case, the toner spills on your hand then immediately clean by either wiping it off or cleaning it with cold water.
- A shiny reddish brown roller is present inside the drum. This roller is highly photosensitive and transfers toner from the cartridge onto the paper in a form of the image that needs to be printed.
- Now clean the drum roller by gently wiping the surface of the drum with an alcohol swab or isopropyl alcohol (strength should be 7 to 90%). Make sure while cleaning you check the entire drum properly and ensure a proper cleaning.
Now turn the entire drum unit toward you, using your hand and again look for any kind of marks and materials on the drum surface. This step will ensure a proper cleaning of the drum unit.
- After you are done cleaning the drum make sure to allow the alcohol to evaporate completely before continuing any further.
- Once the surface of the drum is dry, clean the primary corona wire inside the drum unit by gently moving the blue tab on the top of the cartridge from right side to the left a number of times. Ensure that you return the blue tab to the home position before you reinstall your drum unit assembly. If this is not done the right way it may create vertical lines while printing.
- Now reinstall the toner cartridge into the drum unit. If this is put the right way then the lock lever will lift automatically.
- Also, reinstall the drum and toner assembly into the printer.
- Now plug the power back in and turn on the printer.
- Now make ten blank copies by placing the blank sheets of paper in the ADF and then press copy. This will help in removing the material that has not been removed completely.
- Now press on the menu option and click on start.
- By now you should get a better print quality. If not then contact Brother Printer Customer Support.
