Papaya Tree Fertilizer
The papaya, a member of the Caricaceae family, is a tropical fruit grown primarily in Hawaii, in the southwestern United States, and in Mexico and Central America. In both the Mexican and Hawaiian varieties, the fruit, leaves and seeds are edible. If you plan to grow a papaya in a container or from seed, you should understand its nutrient requirements. The papaya is a heavy feeder, and choosing the best fertilizer is essential to growing a lush tree.
Background on Papaya
Papayas grow best in regions where annual temperatures stay between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit and annual rainfall averages 40 inches. Although the papaya can grow upward of 30 feet at maturity, it is really a short-lived perennial herbaceous plant that lives at most four years. All parts, including the fruit, flowers and leaves, are edible and the papaya blooms continuously under the right conditions.
A tree can be male, female or hermaphroditic, but it's difficult to ascertain sex until the plant blooms. Male blooms have clusters of small white blossoms on branched tentacles that can be nearly 18 inches in length. Female blossoms are slightly larger with a single white blossom, with straight petals surrounding a miniature fruit close to the stem. The hermaphrodite has both male and female components in one blossom so it can self-pollinate.
Optimal Soil Conditions
Papayas do well in light, porous, nutrient-rich soil that drains well. Plants should be watered regularly, but not to the point where water pools. Too much water can lead to root rot. In winter, the papaya prefers drier conditions. A slightly acidic soil mix is best, with a pH range of 5.5. to 6.7.
According to the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), small amounts of fertilizer should be applied and adjusted as the papaya tree grows. A complete fertilizer should be layered around the drip line, and amounts should be increased as the tree grows. A complete fertilizer includes essential plant nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphate, potash and magnesium. If you're using an organic fertilizer, spread a layer of compost and supplement with nitrogen-rich sources of organic matter like blood meal, fish emulsion, bat guano or manure. The best course of action in feeding is to observe how the papaya reacts. If leaves take on a purplish or reddish cast, then the tree is potentially low on phosphorous.
Fertilizer Frequency
Young papaya plants should be fertilized with a slow-release, nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 14 days and a 1/4-lb. of complete fertilizer. As trees grow larger, the fertilizer portion should be increased to 1 to 2 lbs. every other month. Because compost provides a continuous slow-release form of nitrogen, which might not be enough to support the papaya's rapid growth, add nitrogen fertilizer monthly. Adjust the amount based on the tree's response.
Test soil pH periodically. If soil becomes too acidic (less than 5), then add iron sulfate and potentially small portions of agricultural lime. If soil becomes too base (more than 7), add chelated iron mixed in water and apply as a soil drench.
Growing in Pots
Because of climate, poor soil conditions or space constraints, some gardeners choose to grow papaya trees in containers. When summer conditions are hot and sunny, the plant can be moved outside. In winter, it can be moved near a window with southern exposure.
If you've transplanted a papaya tree from another container or from the outside, wait until you see new growth before you fertilize. Take caution with container papaya trees. Too much fertilizer inhibits growth. A complete or balanced fertilizer with equal proportions of nitrogen, phosphorous and magnesium may be used. In addition, water-soluble fertilizers can be used in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. If the plant looks green and healthy, then it has the correct nutrients.

text: Y'all, if you need to take antibiotics, I recommend you ask for liquid! Don't go through what I've gone through the last two weeks! Recap... I had two teeth removed and was prescribed Clindamycin to prevent an infection. I was faithful with taking it, not drinking from a straw and I quit smoking 6 years ago so I was good there. I had my alarm set every 6 hours to take my antibiotics. They caused heartburn so bad that I would wake up to throw up. I still ended up with dry socket. I went back for treatment, had it packed and came home. The pain never eased up. It just got worse. My kids couldn't kiss me on the cheek. I couldn't eat. Eventually the pain would be 24/7. I didn't sleep. I would get migraines from the pit of hell. Then I couldn't even touch my neck. On Monday, I called the dentist AGAIN and told them I wasn't taking no for an answer this time. I needed a liquid antibiotic and she HAD TO find out why this is happening. They made me an appointment for Tuesday at 8am. She went to look in my mouth, I was in tears just from her pulling my lip back to look in there. She said "oh wow, if it hurts that bad, I'm gonna have to numb you up again." So she did. It turned out that my jawbone was exposed. My gums didn't heal back together because the bone was exposed. She had to file down the bone which I felt, I will have you know! She said I needed to sit still. I didn't because it was unreal pain even being numbed. Well, it was a good thing that I didn't stay still because when I jumped, she accidentally stabbed me in the gums with her little tool and all the infection came out. It was definitely something she didn't expect to happen but I'm so glad it did. I slept 9 hours last night!!! That's more than I got collectively in a 4 day period! It's still sore but it feels so much better. So please, please don't risk getting worse before you get better. Get liquid! Oh! And I met my goal last week... I was just too sick to post it.

Breathing or Respiration – All living things exchange gases with their environment. Animals take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.
Breathing is interesting in that we do it involuntarily. We don't have to remind ourselves to breathe, we just do it. Not only do we just do it, but it happens all the time. It isn't a one-time deal, so it just turns into something that we do. It is something you take for granted, until you no longer have the ability to do it. You don't think about it, nor should you, but it is readily there. Breathing.
Also there is an exchange happening. It isn't just one way, but there is two-way communication happening here.
We need God to breathe on us, and when He breathes on us, in exchange, we worship Him and give Him praise, and when we worship Him and give Him praise, then He breathes on us some more, and we worship Him and give Him praise, and it goes on and on, until we live a lifestyle of praise and worship. Praise is just who we are. Praise is what I do. We don't just do this in the sanctuary, but even outside of these four (church) walls, we live a lifestyle of praise, because God is breathing on us.
Job 33:4 – The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
God breathed into Adam and man became a living soul. We were made to give God glory. We have to understand that there is life in the breath of God. It should be our desire to have God breathe on us every day, all the time, until that is just who we are. We need to learn to live a lifestyle of praise, and that only happens when God breathes on us.
Unfortunately, the alternative is true. We live in a twisted and perverse world, and if we allow ourselves to breathe in the bad air of our society, then in exchange, we won't be able to praise and worship the way we were designed to, and therefore we won't live. I am talking about the characteristics of a LIVING Spiritual Christian. A living, healthy Christian is very apparent because God is breathing on them, and in exchange they live a lifestyle of praise and worship.
We have to be careful about what we allow our environment to breathe into our spirit and make sure that God is breathing on us.
Excretion – is the removal of waste from the body. All living things need to remove waste from their bodies. If this waste is allowed to remain in the body, it could be poisonous. It will become poisonous.
This is simple folks. Sin is sin. It needs to be removed from our lives. This is interesting in that it points out that all living things need to remove waste. This implies that you are already living for God, that it doesn't matter how long you have lived for God. This isn't the message for the new convert, or the sinner, but this is here for the saint, who has been in church for a while. There is always something that we need to shed.
Hebrews 12:1 – Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
I like this verse because it makes a very clear distinction between sin and weight. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 6:12 and 10:23 that 'All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient.' Thank God for the man of God (the pastor) who will draw lines in the sand for my soul. Moses defined where the base of the mountain stood. The sons of Kora found out that you don't want to be on the wrong side of the line. Let me say that if the man of God (pastor) draws a line in the sand, then we as saints need to make sure that we are on the right side of that line and as far away as we can be on the right side. Lines don't get drawn haphazardly nor do they get drawn for fun. If the pastor draws a line in the sand and says that we are going to do this and not do this, then so be it. It might not be sin, but that doesn't mean that it is good for me. Thank God for the Man of God who loves me enough to draw a line in the sand.
Our bodies are the temple of the living God, and we are to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. It is really just that simple.

Roof Repairs for Leaky Roofs
Roof repairs are costly, unexpected and every home owner's biggest fear. But while it provokes fear, the unpleasant truth is that most of these costs are the result of a home owner's own delay in seeking to analyze and fix roof related troubles at an early stage. If you take efforts to find and fix any faults or deterioration in your roof early on, then you can put off or even totally avoid the need for costly replacement jobs later.
When the weather turns bad, and especially following unusually severe climatic shifts, it is a good practice to have your roof inspected. Roof repairs for leaky roofs can happen from neglect of damage in early stages. Emergency repairs then become necessary, since a leaky roof can result in damage to all materials inside a building.
And such emergency roof repairs may become necessary at odd times – during the night, or on holidays, when the appropriate staff and contractors may not be available – or will charge much more than their regular fee.
At the same time you will not be able to handle roof repairs yourself in bad weather. There is a real danger of lightning strikes, accidental falls and injury from heavy winds or snowfalls. You must take all possible precautions before embarking upon any such project. Also keep in mind that the roof structure may be weakened as a result of such damage.
This report on roof repairs for leaky roofs may give you even better insight into this facet of home improvement.

This is an exciting new area and has begun to attract a lot of attention from students. Indicative of its evolution, many who have crossed the finish line offer varying perspectives on how to go about a Masters in this field. Some suggest doing a graduate degree in Physics with many electives in biology and chemistry, especially if a student is interested in the quantum mechanical aspects (https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/how-to-become-a-quantum-biologist.835068/). Given the composite character of the discipline, it begets many names. Some call it biophysics. Some universities call it 'Life & Chemical Sciences (Quantum Biology)'. Aspiring candidates will have to search quite a bit to find universities offering quantum biology.
Interested students might consider reading Jim Al-Khalilis's book, co-authored with Johnjoe McFadden, titled 'Life on the edge: the coming age of quantum biology'. According to Wikipedia, Jim Al-Khalili is "currently Professor of Theoretical Physics and Chair in the Public Engagement in Science at the University of Surrey".
The Max Planck Institute for Medical Research is an institution students may explore (http://www.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/en). The Centre of Quantum Technology at The University of Kwazulu-Natal in South Africa could also hold interest for students (http://quantum.ukzn.ac.za/). There is a Quantum University offering a range of courses (http://iquim.org/). Ulm University in Germany offers a Master of Science in Biophysics with an opportunity to do a PhD (https://www.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programs/en/?p=d&s=kr&id=4277).
Students might also like to look at the Hokkaido University, Graduate School of Science, School of Science in Japan (https://www.sci.hokudai.ac.jp/english/history.html).
Students could also look at The Institute for Advanced Studies at The University of Surrey (http://www.surrey.ac.uk/subjects/biosciences-and-medicine). Or the Paris Diderot Physics Department (http://www.physique.univ-paris-diderot.fr/IMG/pdf/plaquettem2__ang_nov_2012.pdf).

As far as steering adjustment is concerned I believe only the tilt is adjustable, not the rake (for pulling the wheel closer to you or closer to the dash) on the MkI MR2?
10th Apr 2006, 09:59
If anyone is interested in buying an 85 I'm thinking about selling. Just under 145,000 miles at the time of this comment. Runs pretty good.
New Parts: Alternator, clutch, starter, sway bar links, thermostat, CV drive axle, new floorboards (flat steel pop-riveted with thick undercoating), complete exhaust, brakes, brake lines/hoses, Bridgestone Potenza G009's with only about 5,000 miles, new e-brake cables, new motor mounts, recent coolant flush and pretty much a fresh oil change every 1,000 miles just for good measure while doing all these repairs... probably more that I can't think of immediately off the top of my head.
Problems: New starter is going already, but I'll probably replace that again before I sell.. (don't buy parts from National Auto), there is some valve chatter around 2,500 rpms, but only in neutral or in 1st gear for some odd reason, the oil pan is cracked, but is JB welded together... may want to replace that at some point, but the car isn't losing much oil at all so not a big concern... about 1/4th of a quart per month between the crack and the shoddy pan gasket. The car needs lower ball joints. They've been bad since I bought the car. Still handles quite well considering. The car idles at 2,000 rpm on a cold start, but idles right on or just below 1,000 when warmed up. I asked my mechanic why and he told me there's some type of wax pellet sensor that controls that, but it's not of any concern. When I bought the car the rear wheel arches were practically rusted away in the back. It's been sanded, patched with Bondo-hair fiberglass filler, and painted over. It doesn't look bad now. There is still some surface rust popping up here and there, but the car doesn't look too bad. The dumb kid who owned the car before me let it roll into his house while it was parked so the front bumper is a little ugly, but you'd have to see it. It's really not bad at all. Still drives nice, really a blast. E-mail me at email@example.com with Subject : 85 MR2 and make me an offer. Once you email me ill give you my number and we'll work something out. Thanks!

The Courier-Tribune is one of the 10 oldest newspapers published in North Carolina. Its roots stretch back to 1876, when Asheboro lawyer Marmaduke S. Robins started the Randolph Regulator.
Two years later, the paper was sold to James Crocker and its name was changed to the Courier.
William Cicero Hammer and Wiley Rush bought the paper in 1891, and Hammer took sole ownership two years later. He served as the paper's editor until he died in 1930.
Roy Cox Sr. went to work for Hammer in 1927 and bought his own local paper, the Randolph Tribune, in 1934. On Jan. 30, 1940, he bought the Courier and merged the two newspapers into the Courier-Tribune. Its first twice-weekly edition hit the streets on May 17, 1940.
Cox's son, Roy Cox Jr., took over in 1967 when his father died. He transformed the paper into a Monday-Friday publication and added a Sunday edition in 1978. A Saturday edition was added in 2000, when the paper also switched from afternoon to a morning publication.
It dropped back to six days a week in 2010 when it dropped its Monday edition. An online version of the paper has existed since the mid�1990s.
Cox ran the paper until it was sold to Ingersoll Publications in 1986. Donrey Media Group acquired the publication in 1990 and owned it under its new group name, Stephens Media Group, until 2015, when the Courier-Tribune was purchased to GateHouse Media.

Google Snares 1.7 Billion "Bad Ads" And Bans 200 Dodgy Publishers
It appears the omnipresent behemoth that is that search firm called Google has had quite enough of shonky advertisers and purveyors of misleading content.
The company has just announced it took down 1.7 billion ads in 2016 that violated its advertising policies and it also banned 200 publishers it deemed had published misleading content or the dreaded "fake news".
Last year (2016) saw the number of ads banned by Goole double from the year previous.
Most ads banned were simply deemed to have been misleading or fraudulent and it's believed better detection processes and reporting is the reason behind the massive uplift in bad ads being caught out.
In a blog post, Google's director of product management, sustainable ads, Scott Spencer (above), said that 2016 had seen a a "dramatic increase in scamming activity". Spencer said seven million fraudulent ads alone were pulled last year for simply trying to evade Google's detection systems.
He added: "While we took down more bad ads in 2016 than ever before, the battle doesn't end here. As we invest in better detection, the scammers invest in more elaborate attempts to trick our systems. Continuing to find and fight them is essential for creating a sustainable, open web from which we all enjoy."
Spencer added that many of the dodgy ads were caught trying to "game" Google's detection systems, something known as "tabloid cloaking".
"In 2016, we saw the rise of tabloid cloakers, a new type of scammer that tries to game our system by pretending to be news," Spencer wrote.
"Cloakers often take advantage of timely topics — a government election, a trending news story or a popular celebrity — and their ads can look like headlines on a news web site. But when people click on that story about Ellen DeGeneres and aliens, they go to a site selling weight-loss products, not a news story.
"Unfortunately, this type of bad ad is gaining in popularity because people are clicking on them. And a handful of scammers can pump out a lot of bad ads. During a single sweep for tabloid cloaking in December 2016, we took down 22 cloakers that were responsible for ads seen more than 20 million times by people online in a single week," Spencer said.
Google also removed 200 publishers from its AdSense network in the last two months of 2016. This came in the wake of the uproar over the spread of "fake news" following the US election, Google reviewed 550 sites that were suspected of misrepresenting content to users, including impersonating news organisations.
"We took action against 340 of them for violating our policies, both misrepresentation and other offences, and nearly 200 publishers were kicked out of our network permanently," Spencer said.
On top of bad ads and fake news, Google also reported it had disabled 112 million "click to trick" ads where users often click on an ad only to download harmful software or malware.

How did the keiretsu system solve the hold-up problem in the Japanese automobile industry?
Wang, Xiaoting
Acadia University
Bachelor of Arts
The Japanese car industry enjoyed a steady expansion path from 1960, following the keiretsu system, the Japanese style of non-vertically integrated system. This is a result of the dissolution of the zaibatsu and is characterized by less internalization and flexible contracts. Other characteristics of the keiretsu include that the buyer of the product can buy the same product from another different keiretsu company, as seen in the Toyota-Denso relationship. The model proposed by this thesis incorporates these additions to the classical hold-up model, proposed by Grossman and Hart (1986) to examine the efficiency of such system. In particular, the buyer now has an option to partially buy the same product from another company. This introduces implicit competition within the system as seen in the keiretsu relationship. Using backward induction to establish a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium, I derive a result indicating that efficiency improves from the classic case of a complete non-vertically integrated system when the buyer has high bargaining power over the share of surplus, and that the magnitude of competition within the keiretsu relationship does not affect efficiency, measured by the amount of underinvestment. I also propose a possible extension to the model to further relax the assumption in the model.

Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
Many computers are still running Windows XP. With Windows 8 now available, it may be an option. I'll look at what it takes, what you get, and most importantly, what you don't.
The short answer is a little bit of yes and a whole lotta no, at least in the way that most people expect upgrades to work.
Here's how I found out...
By mistake, I ordered copies of the Windows 8 upgrade edition. All that really means is that rather than being able to install Windows 8 to a clean or "bare metal" machine, there needs to be a prior version of Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP installed.
The option of Windows XP confused me because Windows 7 didn't really handle that scenario well; effectively, there was no upgrade from XP to Windows 7 and yet it appeared that that might have changed with Windows 8.
As it turns out, things may be a little more streamlined perhaps, but that's about it.
I'll walk you through my upgrade and point out the relevant points when upgrading from Windows XP.
It's important to clarify two different uses of the word "upgrade" here:
An upgrade install is the process of updating a previous installation of Windows to a newer version, preserving as much as possible in the process. This is opposed to a "clean" install, which is basically the process of installing a completely new version of the operating system without regard to, and in fact deleting, anything that happened to already be on the machine.
An upgrade edition is a copy of the operating system installation media or package which can be used only to perform upgrade installs. In other words, an upgrade edition requires that there be a prior version of Windows to be upgraded. This is opposed to a "full" edition, which allows you to do either a clean or upgrade installation. Upgrade versions are typically sold at a somewhat lower price than full editions.
So I had mistakenly purchased an upgrade edition which would only allow me to perform an upgrade installation.
I chose an installation of Windows XP to be upgraded to Windows 8.
I can't stress this enough. Whenever you're about to upgrade something as major as the operating system on your computer, you must back up first.
My recommendation is that you perform a full image backup using a tool such as Macrium Reflect or similar. That way, if something goes wrong during the installation, you can always restore your machine from that backup to the state it was in prior to the attempt.
The problem here isn't that things go wrong often. The problem is that when things go wrong, they can go very wrong to the point that the installation on the hard disk - either old or new - may not be able to be recovered.
A backup, on the other hand, will let you recover from anything.
When upgrading Windows XP to Windows 8, you begin by inserting the installation media (a DVD in my case) and running the setup.exe program if it doesn't start automatically.
As you can see, that's the Windows 8 setup program preparing to run, on top of Windows XP's familiar default desktop background and task bar.
Next Windows 8 Setup asks for the product key.
In many ways, when you purchase software like Windows 8, it's really the product key that you're purchasing that legitimizes and activates your installation. Make sure to keep it in a safe place. You'll likely be able to re-download Windows 8 for free, but if you lose the product key, you'll need to purchase another should you ever need to reinstall.
After agreeing to the License Terms, Windows 8 Setup asks a very interesting question:
Wanting to understand this better, I clicked on "Help me decide" which told me this:
What are my options for what I want to keep?
What you can keep depends on the current version of Windows running on your PC. These options only show up if the current version of Widows supports them.
Here are the options you might see:
Windows settings. Windows settings like Ease of Access, your desktop background, or Internet favorites and history will be kept. Not all settings will be moved.
Personal files. Anything saved in the user folder is considered a personal file, like the Documents and Desktop folders.
Apps. For the apps that are compatible with Windows 8, some will just work while others will have to be reinstalled in Windows 8. For the apps that need to be reinstalled, find the installation media and installers.
Nothing. Delete everything and replace your current version with a copy of Widows 8. Your personal files will be moved to a windows.old folder.
If you choose Nothing, make sure to do the following before you continue:
Back up your files to an external hard drive, DVD or CD, USB flash drive, or network folder.
Find the installation media and installers for the apps that will work and need to be reinstalled in Windows 8.
If you use a fingerprint reader or another biometric device to sign in to your PC, make sure you write down your password. You'll have to type your user name and password the first time you sign in to Windows 8.
Note: If the only option you see is Nothing, you can get more info online at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=12416
The bottom line is simply this:
Windows 8 setup will offer to move or preserve what it can for you.
If you're "upgrading" from Windows XP, the only thing it appears to be able to preserve for you are your personal files. Everything else will be setup from scratch.
So it's not really much of an upgrade as it is a clean install that preserves some of your data files.
Click Next and Windows 8 Setup confirms what it's about to do:
Next, it gives you a warning, at least, that this could take a while:
After that "while", your machine will reboot and be running Windows 8. But you're not quite done.
You've probably noticed that so far the Windows 8 setup screens have all been a lovely shade of ... purple. Fortunately, the very first thing you get to personalize is the default color or color scheme:
Next, you're given the option to skip the rest of the options and let Windows 8 use its defaults:
Detailing all those options is a job for another day, but be aware that while many of the defaults are in fact appropriate; they're all Microsoft, right down to Bing for your search engine.
Finally, you login with your old Windows XP username and password (this was technically an "upgrade" after all, and that's one thing that was indeed preserved), and you're running Windows 8.

Windows 8: same old moldy fruitcake; more GUI frosting. No wonder the business world stuck with XP!
So was the answer yes or no? I'm confused...it looks like you were able to, but in your opening note, you said a whole lotta no...
Thanks for the Tips Leo! I am attempting an upgrade from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) on a 3 month old machine. The full upgrade does not work, Windows simply states it can not perform the upgrade and returns my machine to it's Pre-Upgrade state (At least that works!).
I will now attempt the "Keep personal files only" option and see if the "upgrade" is successful...
If that does not work, I will go for the "Keep Nothing" option and restore as needed from my backups...
Now that I'm an "IT" retiree I've got nothing but time to play with this stuff instead of "working" on it with a deadline!! Computers are "FUN" once again!!!
It use to be you could fool the upgrade into thinking there was a previous Windows install by simply copying the "WINNT.DLR(sp???) file to the freshly formatted target hard-drive. I don't know if that still works or not... Sure did help when we needed to do mass NT upgrades using unattended install scripts.
I don't think I have ever seen a "True Windows Upgrade" ever work without severe operational problems afterwards, I guess some things never change...
It took a lot of trys but ultimately i was able to do a clean install from the upgrade edition. You need to burn the iso to a disk using the windows download tool, boot from the cd. It may have been my system but this only worked if i only had one hd installed on my system
Thanks for the upgrade tips -from XP to windows 8.
It seems fairly straight forward - how about cost?
Would it be more cost effective to buy a new computer and reload the saved documents from the old XP ?
Many thanks Leo
I did what is normally unrecommended. I did a "keep all installed programs" upgrade from Win 7 to Win 8 on my 3 1/2 year old netbook (my workhorse take with me everywhere machine with all critical files in a Dropbox folder), and it worked like a charm. (No pun intended. I also disabled Charms LOL.) No problems. All but one program worked. It runs as fast or faster than Win 7, and faster than the original XP.
The "Keep personal files only" option worked upgrading from Windows 7 PRO to Windows 8 PRO. It does retain your basic login information for all users and all user data is kept intact, but that is about it. I've reinstalled almost all my software and am up and running on Windows 8. Now I just have to relearn where everything is! I did have a problem with blacked out dialogue boxes before rebooting the box again after the upgrade finished. After a reboot with some Windows 8 updates applied all seems to be running well.
It sounds like you guys were able to make an ISO from the $40 upgrade. Is this true, because this is why I have decided not to go for the 39.99 upgrade offered by Microsoft. I have heard that you just press download and install and the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant will check out your system and then install itself right over windows 7 without allowing you to download an ISO file for later install. Please let me know if you are given the option to download an ISO for later install when utilizing the Windows 8 39.99 upgrade deal. Thanks
I tried to upgrade an older XP laptop to Win 8. Ended up with a screen showing just the green window. Rebooted and got the same and no further action was possible. Re-installed Windows XP and half way thru got message "Sorry we could not install Windows 8". Laptop is now back to Win XP.
I try the Windows 8 preview edition.
If I am not very wrong, Windows 8 install faster and also its support to usb3 copy files faster than in Windows 7.
First of all, thanks for the walkthrough. I am planning to install Win8 on my not-too-new netbook, so all the tips and tricks are appreciated.
I have a little question, however. When I buy the upgrade online, I will get a licence key, and an installation file (which then can be burned to a DVD or some such). But as far as I understand, this installation file will only work for installing win8 over an older version of Windows.
So: what would happen if my harddisk dies, after installing win8? How would I be able to install my version (which is still licensed, after all) on a new harddisk, which has no previous version installed on it? It would be rather silly if I would be forced to buy a new (and more expensive) license just because my hardware broke down.
Any suggestions?
Customer had upgraded to Windows 8, then computer refused to boot past BIOS. CPU was a Pentium 4 2.4GHz but NX not available. He had not backed up but I could recover files by slaving drive on another computer. Upgrade to Windows 8 at your own risk.
Nothing appears in the setup window after it asks to what to keep. PLEASE HELP......

Decanter centrifuge is one of the equipment in solids control system on oil field. It consists of a conveying screw inside a rotating bowl By exerting increased G-force on the drilling fluid, the particles are accelerated and settle on the outside of the bowl The free liquid pool is removed and the solids are pushed away and discharged from the bowl. It have several functions
Dewatering By Centrifuge
For unweighted drilling fluid, the centrifuge use appears cost justified when the drilling fluid and fluid disposal costs increase. This is based solely on the economics of dewatering hydrocyclone underflow. As fluid costs increase, centrifuge use is highly recommended for reducing costs. Greater portions of the circulating flow should be processed. The improved separation efficiency that can be derived from wider use of centrifuges is recommended for reducing drilling wastes.
Drilled Solids Removal By Centrifuge
To minimise the dilution rate in an unweighted mud, the centrifuge is cost effective operating on the active mud system. With solids content less than 10%, a centrifuge can operate at high speeds, thus removing a larger volume of the clay size solids. In some cases, this process can be enhanced with the use of a polymer flocculation system.
Control Of Mud Properties By Centrifuge
To minimise drilling waste on weighted muds (oil/water) two stage centrifuging is viable provided the centrifuges are properly chosen and adjusted. The first centrifuge should be adjusted for solids recovery, with the second centrifuge providing maximum liquid-solids separation. This process also can be enhanced by using a polymer flocculation system on the water base muds only.
Decanter centrifuge is very important on oil field drilling industry with the above functions, Please contact GN Solids for inquiry freely

New martial arts programme gets Newcastle youngsters rolling
News • Oct 19, 2016 09:00 BST
A new programme designed to get young people active and involved in sports has started at a Newcastle Upon Tyne martial arts studio.
Get Rolling is a six week programme backed by Tyne & Wear Sport and Sport England designed to give people between 14 and 25 a taste of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ).
It runs at Origin Dojo located at King Edwards Bridge, Off Pottery lane. The head instructor is Ian Malone, a highly respected Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt and veteran of a number of professional MMA fights. The sessions incorporate BJJ along with Muay Thai kickboxing, wrestling, MMA and some self defence too.
Part of the Sport England 'Spirit of 2012' initiative, Get Rolling is aimed at attracting kids and youngsters who aren't physically active and get them interested in taking an part in new sports at a low cost (the Get Rolling programme costs just £10 for six weeks).
Ross Heaton, who completed the six taster sessions in the summer has continued to train at Origin and now hopes to compete. According to Ross, "You get physically fit, but more so down here at the club there's such a group vibe, you know, everyone is so happy to help everyone out and it creates a really good atmosphere to learn and progress. Everyone is nervous when they first come in, because you think it's going to be an intimidating atmosphere and you don't know anybody - but everybody will welcome you with open arms. I'd love to compete, you learn all these new skills, so you want to test yourself, don't you?"
Origin Dojo also runs thriving adults and kids' classes and hosts the North East Kids' BJJ League which offers kids in the North East a chance to compete and earn points for the official national UKBJJA rankings.
Lesley Harrison, one of the Junior Coaches at Origin said "we've got kids coming to train from as far as Berwick and Carlisle, and the Kids' League competitions are getting loads of support from clubs all across the region. We've got high hopes for the future of the sport."
Although relatively new to the UK, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is now one of the fastest growing sports in the world with over 10,000 people regularly training in gyms across the UK. The governing body is the UKBJJA (http://www.ukbjja.org) which aims to get more youngsters and women active in the sport through regular kids' competitions and the recently launched Unstoppable Girl programme.
About the UKBJJA:
The UKBJJA (www.ukbjja.org) is a not-for profit organisation which aims to provide a governance structure for the martial art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, that promotes and develops the sport while allowing individual clubs and practitioners the space and freedom to practice the martial art in the way they enjoy. The UKBJJA is currently under assessment to be recognised by Sport England as the governing body for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the UK.
The UKBJJA was formed in 2013, and the association's goal is to foster the development of BJJ at elite, community and grassroots levels, raising the profile of the sport but also providing pathways for development and involvement across communities in the UK.

Seems like the only articles I ever see is how much EHRs have damaged the practice of medicine, and these complex regulatory games CMS plays, is worsening the problem. Its time for CMS to think about just getting out of the way of vendors and providers to make EHRs work for them. CMS and ONC interference has complete hammered the innovation and usefulness (along with safety, security, interop, efficiency, etc) of EHRs. Maybe its time to get out of the way CMS. If you read the MACRA proposal comments, its hard to find any that are anything but "STOP THIS" from actual providers. And that is not good. I know they have been feeding the media that they are listening but reality, they are doing nothing different, if not adding more modules (clinical practice improvement? Puhlease). Everyone can argue that costs are too high, but value based care is an unproven model, if not every attempt Pioneer ACO, etc have been VERY costly (even though CMS doesn't count the costs of implementation, maintenance, etc). Everyone appreciates trying new things, but not as a penalty experiment. Should be bonus only.

PARKER COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) – There's a new sheriff in town and he's only 4-years-old!
Thanks to a non-profit organization, little Chandler Davis had his dream of becoming a cowboy deputy sheriff come true.
Chandler has been diagnosed with a terminal, rare bone marrow cellular disease and a malformation of the brain. The little boy has already endured some 20 medical procedures and tests and now faces a second possible brain surgery.
The non-profit Western Wishes, along with the Parker County Sheriff's Office and Parker County Sheriff's Posse, granted Chandler's wish.
Chandler's law enforcement dreams weren't the beginning of his adventure, more like the middle.
The youngster was already set up to be a part of the grand entry of the Frontier Days Rodeo, have an introduction as a special guest during the event and meet Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler in person.
While the other "wishes" were great, Sheriff Fowler wanted to take Chandler's dream to the next level. So, Friday morning, at the Parker County Sheriff's Posse Grounds, Chandler officially took the oath of office to become an honorary Parker County Deputy Sheriff.
The little boy was also presented with a plaque signifying his oath of office, a patrol deputy uniform and a genuine deputy sheriff's badge.
"Anytime we can help a child in a situation such as this, is an honor for us," Sheriff Fowler said before the event. "We want him to feel special."
Chandler's cowboy dreams will also include being an ambassador to the North Texas region, attending the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas this December and going to the Professional Bull Rider's World Finals Championship in Wyoming.

Oh how I've missed this blog world of ours!! Our wedding was absolutely without a doubt THE best day of my life! I really don't think ANYTHING could have ruined my day! It was seriously everything I had ever dreamed of...and more!
As for the honeymoon...I think both husband (yes..."husband" is still very weird to me...) and I could agree that it was pretty incredible. As you can tell, from Kristen's very creative guest posts we were in Playa Mujeres, Mexico all last week. People...I've seen pretty water before but I've NEVER seen water like the water there. Breathtaking.
Hopefully you will all forgive me, but of course I don't have any professional pics back yet (DUH) so I'll leave you with some of my favorite bridal portraits so you can at least see me all did up!

When it's all knowledge and no action, dreams to achieve a fit physique seems impossible, and Darclee Warshoff as a shift from her mugshot blogs, today, mentions how one must use the wealth of information available online to obtain their desired fitness level without any equipment with ease in the comfort of your homes.
With all of that knowledge online and in books, about the benefits of working out and eating right, you should have an excuse to not being able to achieve your fitness goals as targeted. You cannot even debate and argue your way out into telling anyone that you were unaware of not knowledgeable enough about ways to get fit and stay in shape for long. Darclee Warshoff works on a simple practical application of including a well-structured daily schedule with healthy eating options. You need not spend money and time on fitness coaches, all you need to do it pick out one online that matches your time schedule and get going.
There are many people who love to give excuses of not having time to exercise, but there are many routines one can work on in just minutes. You can choose a short workout session that last about 30 minutes each day and be well on your way to getting into shape.
Another excuse for not being able to lose weight or tone the body is lack of equipment. If you are not a member at any fitness club or haven't gotten around to transforming a small space at home with dumbbells or a treadmill, you have to make do with what you have and those are the things around your house. To a few people this may sound confusing, but it is really that easy as it sounds. You can incorporate variations of pushups, sit-ups and pull ups using the furniture around your house and the floor. Squats and planks are easy to do and do not require equipment, but doing all of these workouts for a prolonged time frame could get boring which can, in fact, steer you away from achieving your fitness goals. In this case, Darclee Warshoff talks about ways to make your workouts at home both interesting and challenging and here are ways you can do so.
Do the countdown starting with ten to zero as you perform pull-ups and dips. Perform ten sets in descending reps. When experiencing muscle fatigue, you may reduce your work-load just so that your muscles get enough time to recover. Aim at accomplishing a total of 50 reps – a number that most of us never arrive at. We tend to fail after just three sets.
Train with a military attitude and incorporate some fun elements – these are important to stay in tune with any workout plan and also make it interesting. Walk like a crab or crawl like a bear to add the fun element. You will probably realize that it is harder to do these as an adult, especially when moving in awkward postures, but soon, you'll realize the effect and benefits of it on your muscles. Treat yourself to your favorite television program or play after the workout.

Missouri State shocks No. 7 Wisconsin
South Padre Island, TX (Sports Network) – Blake Ahearn scored 25 points, as
Missouri State upset seventh-ranked Wisconsin, 66-64, in the semifinals of the
South Padre Island Invitational.
The Bears (4-0), who blew a 19-point lead, survived at the end when Alando
Tucker missed a three-point shot from the right corner at the buzzer denying
Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan his 500th career victory.
Deven Mitchell added 13 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for Missouri State,
which took a shocking 45-32 lead in the opening half by shooting 14-of-22 from
the field. The Bears then held on against a team that went a woeful 2-of-15
from three-point range.
Tucker ended with 26 points and Michael Flowers tallied 10 for Wisconsin
(4-1), which struggled by shooting 39.3 percent.
The Badgers took a 62-57 advantage on a three-point shot by Tucker with 5:25
remaining, but Missouri State scored the next eight points. Spencer Laurie's
bucket gave the Bears the lead for good at 63-62 with under two minutes left.
Mitchell then came up with a blocked shot and Nathan Bilyeu drained a jumper
from the right corner to cap the spurt.
Kameron Taylor's free throw brought the Badgers within the final margin with
46.8 seconds left, and Wisconsin had an opportunity at the end after Mitchell
stepped on the end line. However, Tucker's try caromed off the rim, and the
ball remained loose for a couple of seconds as the game ended.
Missouri State started the game up 7-0 and widened the margin to 45-26 before
the Badgers closed the first half strong.
Game Notes
Missouri State won the only previous meeting with Wisconsin by a score of
43-32 in 1999…Wisconsin had 16 points off turnovers to three for Missouri

New Album & Gigs
I have been a bit busy recording the album so have been a bit quiet – the good news is that it's nearly finished. It has the working title of "ABSOLUTION" whether this will be the final name or not reamins to be seen.
I have done things a bit differently on this as when i realeased "Past its Sell by Date" – which was essentially a bunch of demos and a few released download tracks, most people preffered the tracks done with programmed drums – so that is what i have done for the album, programmed my own drum patternes. There is 13 tracks in all including three totally new tracks I have never played live or have been on any release and a total of six that weren't on the last release and those that were are in a totally different format. This will be my last physical release for a while and will be released as soon as i can afford to get it done. If you want to know what the track listing is then you will have to wait til it's released – there are one or two surprises on there which I am happy about.
Onto the gigs – I will not be booking any more gigs for this year at the moment – I will consider any offers of gigs but i want to concentrate on getting the backing tracks ready to use live. When thie backing tracks are ready and I have worked out the logistics of it all, I will be booking a couple of selected gigs with full support and a headline act, it wont be me as I don't want to headline.
I also have a new project that is being worked on at the moment. The new project has a name and will more than likely just be a recording project, more news of this at a later date.
head over to the gigs page for the updated list of booked gigs and I will see you at the bar

Rules of Bowling
For Beginners: How Bowls is played
The following introduction covers the basic aspects of the game, as normally played in the UK and Ireland. It is not intended to be a complete definition of the game or the rules.
Like many games, the object of Bowls is essentially simple. It can be played by almost anyone, but to play consistently well demands determination, concentration and practice
The game of Bowls is played on a 34 to 40 metre square area called the green. The green is divided into playing areas called rinks.
The green is surrounded by a small ditch to catch bowls which leave the green, and a bank upon which markers indicate the corners and centrelines of each rink.
The object is to get one or more bowls closer to the jack - a small white ball - than those of the opposition - one point is scored for each counting bowl. After playing all the bowls in one direction, and agreeing the score, the direction of play is reversed - the next "end" is played back down the rink in the opposite direction Bowls can be played as singles, or in teams of pairs, triples, or fours (a team of four is also known as a 'rink'). In fours or rinks games, each team member has a particular role to play:
Leads, Seconds, Thirds and Skips-What's it all about?
• The first, or lead, places the mat, delivers the jack and has it centered by the Skip before attempting to bowl as close as possible to the jack.
• The second or two keeps the scoreboard up to date and agrees the scorecard with his opposite number. The two will normally be required to improve or consolidate the position achieved by the lead.
• The third or three may be called upon to play different types of shots in order to score more, or to place bowls tactically to protect an advantage. The three also advises the skip on choice of shots, and agrees the number of shots scored with his opposite number, measuring if required.
• The skip is in overall charge of the rink; he/she directs the other players on choice of shots, tries to build the 'head' of bowls to his or her advantage and keeps the scorecard.
• It is also worth emphasising that the head must not be disturbed by any player until the shots have been finally agreed. When the Thirds or Skips are deciding the shots the other players should stand well back from the head and give them the space to do so.
• During the game encourage your team mates, do not criticise them. Commend good shots and learn to accept that flukes are a part of the game. Sometimes they go for you, sometimes against.
Singles, Pairs,Trips, Fours-What's that about?
The normal game formats are as follows:
• In Singles, the two opponents deliver four bowls alternately. The first to reach 21 shots is the winner.
• For Pairs, the players deliver four bowls each. The team scoring the most shots after 21 ends is the winner.
• In the Triples game, the lead, second and skip deliver three bowls each, for 18 ends.
• In Fours or Rinks play, the lead, two, three and skip each deliver two bowls for 21 ends.
Short descriptions of bowling can be found at Wikipedia or BBC Sport with a longer introduction at The World Bowls Federation. A glossary of bowling terms can be found here.

(last update 1 August 2013 - see beta version changelog in menu bar)
Cold Infinity is a tabletop space combat game by Kevin A. Muñoz. It was originally designed as a generic ruleset capable of converting ship designs from another system (Babylon 5 Wars). It has evolved into an independent "engine."
Cold Infinity is hex-based, vectored and (optionally) three-dimensional. This means that it uses a hex map for positioning the ship counters, treats movement in space realistically (conservation of momentum) and can be used to simulate three-dimensional battles. In addition, there is a highly detailed ship design system that allows players to build practically any ship they desire.
The game is currently in "final beta" and is "feature-complete." It is fully playable and available for anyone to try, but some rules may be adjusted or added before the final "released" version. In addition to the documents listed below, you will need a large hex map as a playing board. A 1" hex map is the preferred scale, but any scale is acceptable as long as you can make your own counter cubes. (Counter cube cutouts are available for 1" and 1/2" hex maps.)
The documents below are PDF files. If you wish to save them to your computer, right-click on the link. All Cold Infinity documents are free to use, copy and distribute, as long as you do not take credit for the work. Players are strongly encouraged to design ships and weapons and submit them to this site for posting.
Documents for Download
- Main Rulebook: This contains all of the necessary rules information for playing the game. Now aggregates both Basic and Advanced rulesets, in a new format.
- Campaign Rulebook: This is a pre-alpha (i.e., incomplete) document for the campaign rules. It includes the pre-beta fleet-level combat rules. (The fleet level combat rules are largely functional at this point, but there are still some gaps.) Format is still the older version; this will be updated soon.
- Ship Systems Book (SSB): This contains all of the charts necessary for building new ships and weapons. It also contains various tables and charts referenced by the main rule book.
- Counter Cube Sheets: Counter cubes represent individual units in the game. Print out a sheet of counter cubes onto card stock or other heavy paper. Then cut out each "flat" cube, making sure not to cut through any of the six faces of the cube. Then crease the cube edges and tape the cube into a six-sided shape (like a die). This file contains counter cubes, hex layer counters, guided weapon counters and vector markers.
- Weapon Systems Book: This is a pre-alpha (incomplete) collection of pre-fab weapon systems, created using the weapon system design rules. Eventually this will serve as the basis for the Cold Infinity "universe" of ships and systems.
- Ship System Designer: This is a standalone database (based on FileMaker Pro 12) that does most of the heavy lifting for designing ship weapon systems and ship SDSs. It also handles firing solution and vector calculations. It is available for Mac and Windows. It was designed on a Mac, so the Windows version is not quite as pretty. On Windows, install the included Optima font. You do not need FileMaker Pro to use this program.
Babylon 5 Wars Conversions
Babylon 5 Wars ship designs (SCSs) are easily converted to Cold Infinity. A collection of converted ships and weapon systems is in progress and constantly growing. These files are slightly out of date, and do not include the recent changes to the rules on armor.
- Starships: Currently containing Abbai, Alacan, Balosian, Belt Alliance, Centauri, Corillani, Drazi and Earth ships (around 90 units).
- Turn Sheets: Turn-By-Turn Control Sheets for the SDS sheets above
- Weapons: Currently containing the most common weapons in B5 Wars

Mona Lisa had eyebrows, art expert says
Someone alert Dan Brown. The novelist's best-selling "The Da Vinci Code" contained many conjectures about the history and provenance of the "Mona Lisa" -- many of which have been dismissed as pure nonsense by scholars and religious figures.
Now comes word that at least one persistent rumor concerning the masterpiece is true. Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" used to have eyebrows, according to a French art expert.
Pascal Cotte was granted special access to the 16th-century painting at the Louvre Museum in Paris, according to a report in the London Telegraph. Cotte said Da Vinci built up the painting in layers, the last being a special glaze. He then painted details such as the eyebrows on top of the glaze.
"That could explain why the eyebrows have disappeared," he told the British newspaper. "They have faded because of chemical reactions or they have been cleaned off."
Using a 240 megapixel camera, Cotte was able to see past the top paint surface and examine the layers below.
Among his other discoveries: the dull sky behind Mona Lisa was actually a brighter blue and a finger on her left hand had been moved by Da Vinci to create a more relaxed feeling.
The findings will be a part of the exhibition "The Secrets of Mona Lisa," which is set to open on Saturday at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, England.
The exhibition also features the large-scale infrared photograph of the painting as well as other high-definition images that reveal details of the masterwork. It also features a 360-degree walk around -- a replica of the painting that allows visitors a closeup of some of the details.

The first half of December saw the annual meeting of the Conference of Parties of the Framework Convention on Climate Change, meeting this time in Paris. The meeting was a diplomatic success, having reached agreement among nearly 200 countries on a new framework for dealing with climate change – the first agreement since the deeply flawed Kyoto Protocol of 1997, 18 years ago. But as several commentators have already said, two cheers for Paris: it was a noteworthy diplomatic success, thanks in large part to skillful management by its French hosts, but in substance it falls far short of what many scientists – and even the conferees – believe to be necessary to keep changes in the earth's climate within safe limits. What then were the main features of the agreement? And what were its limitations or omissions?
The first and most important feature is that it formally broadened coverage to all countries, from only the rich countries in the Kyoto Protocol. The need to do this was evident to anyone who looked at the magnitudes of greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions by the rich countries have actually declined in recent years, thanks partly to policies but even more to economic recession and weak recovery in Europe, and to the substitution of cheap shale gas for coal in generating electricity in the United States. In the meantime, emissions in China have continued to rise, and soon will exceed emissions by all the rich countries taken together. India's emissions have exceeded those of Japan for several years and are rising rapidly, as India's impressive growth is fueled mainly by coal-using electricity. The magnitudes make clear that climate change cannot be stopped or even slowed significantly without active action by developing countries, and at Paris these countries finally and formally accepted that responsibility.
The second feature was the shift from mandatory negotiated national emission targets to voluntary non-negotiated emission targets, subject to reporting and revision – a "pledge and review" system as recommended by the Nobel-prize economist Thomas Schelling, on the basis of his experience with European economic cooperation under the Marshall Plan in the early 1950s. Mandatory reports of emissions under common standards will be made by all countries, and targets will be reviewed and if appropriate revised every five years, as we gain more knowledge about climate change, and about the ease or difficulty of mitigating it.
The third feature was some tightening of the declaratory objective of keeping the earth's warming "well below" the 2 degrees above pre-industrial level set five years ago at Cancun, with efforts to keep it below 1.5 degrees. This last is an aspirational target and, sadly, will be impossible to achieve, since by 2015 the earth had already warmed by one degree – although we might be able to return to it on the basis of some future technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, after initially overshooting it. Achieving even 2 degrees will be a major challenge: the International Energy Agency estimated, on the basis of some assumptions to sharpen them, that the voluntary pledges made during 2015, if completely fulfilled, that the earth would warm by 2.7 degrees, well above 2 degrees.
The agreement failed to include a number of items desired mainly by developing countries. First, it represents inter-governmental agreement, but is not legally binding. Many countries, including both China and the United States, would have objected to legally binding targets. The United States faced a special problem: had it been legally binding, it would have been considered a treaty (or a protocol to a treaty) and would have required ratification by the US Senate by a two-thirds majority, something that the Obama Administration could not have achieved, partly on substantive grounds, but partly also on grounds that the Republican-dominated Senate does not want to award Barack Obama with a "victory." So the United States will issue the Paris accord on the authority of the President as an "Executive Agreement," a statement of official US policy. This weaker route has the disadvantage that it could be abrogated by a subsequent president, although that is unlikely.
It also means that the pledge of an additional $100 billion by rich countries to help poor countries abate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change, annually by 2020, is also not legally binding. But it remains declaratory policy, to be satisfied through a variety of sources, public and private. World Bank president Jim Yong Kim has already pledged that World Bank loans and grants to deal with climate change will double to $29 billion by 2020. Other new sources will also undoubtedly be forthcoming, although they may not reach the $100 billion target, which is arbitrary and indeed is difficult to justify on substantive grounds unless climate change turns out to be much worse than expected during the next five years.
Finally, the agreement includes no recognition by rich countries for liability for damages that poor countries might experience as a result of climate change in the coming years and decades, as desired by many developing countries. Any such recognition would have created a nightmare of attribution: severe storms have existed for centuries, indeed millennia. They will no doubt continue. What part of them could be plausibly attributed to man-induced changes in climate? But the agreement does promise support to vulnerable countries subject to severe storms, especially island countries. Such help would undoubtedly be provided anyway as humanitarian assistance, as it has been in the recent past, without getting into difficult questions of attribution.
In summary, the Paris agreement makes a major step forward in international cooperation on climate change; but it also leaves much to be done.

Does heaven keep far off, not to set us in a fiery blaze? Not so- let drag your fiery fringes, heaven, and burn us up to quiet.
-904-904 Book VII Aurora Leigh
Re-reading the old blog, after a strange dream where I had a dinner party with all the past boys I've scorned or loved. Ones from weekends of ice skating, to nights of house parties and running in the freezing rain. All sorts of nationalities, personalities, and situations. It was bizarre to say the least, and I thought I'd re-read the old blog to re-visit the situations they were all found in.
Surprisingly I chose not to write about most of them, protecting them from the interwebs and these very same future visits. Keeping them safe and protected in my head, all faults and flaws erased or diminished, so that they sit around the table a sum of dates and evenings in my past. There are small hints, a happy day, a comment about pineapples, or a recounting of an evening with a strange lapse in event notation.
Actually I found alot more literary quotes in the old blog than I remembered. It makes my hands itch from my giant tome of Norton's Victorian Poetry. I need to find all the dog eared pages and revisit all the poems that stand for times that were unwritten about.
In other news, I apparently used to be alot more eloquent, and I am sorry for the day to day accounts. That's dull.
Here's to new beginnings.

Levi's has a really nice set of TV comercials for their Straight Leg jeans. All three feature covers of Johnny Cash's "Walk the Line". There's a female version, a male version, and, finally, a duet. I usually fast-forward through commercials, but when I first heard the male version I couldn't help but stop and watch. The female version is just as good.
The takes on the song are new, but I think the ads do a very effective job portraying the original's theme of unswerving faithfulness to the one you love. When many commercials seem to be designed for pure shock value there's something unashamedly and refreshingly old-fashioned about the sentiment and the treatment, right down to the scene where the guy slows his determined stride to walk patiently behind the old couple. I like it.

Body: Roe Go4261
Date new: April 1957
803 was new to the West Riding Automobile Company Ltd of Barnsley Road, Wakefield, built as a coach to C41C layout for West Riding's coastal services and private hire and excursion programme. The body was by Roe of Leeds, unusually giving the design a name, this being "Dalesman". After only eight years with the company, 803 was sold on to Kirkby, Anston (dealer) by October 1966, and to Mrs J E Pulleine of London SE22 in January 1967.
Withdrawn in March 1969, it moved on to Pierce, Borough Green, and was part of the West of England Transport Collection at Winkleigh by September 1978. It was purchased the following month by the West Riding Wulfrunian Preservation Society (which was re-named West Riding Omnibus Preservation Society around 1981). The members of the society extensively restored 803. Indeed it was so good that Classic Coaches of High Wycombe had the vehicle on loan for several years to run on private hires, excursions and heritage bus services. 803 returned to the Museum with the demise of Classic Coaches.
The interior is now restored, the troublesome clutch has been re-conditioned and although the coach is now fully mobile, electircal concerns have resulted in a full re-wire being commenced.

When you begin cycling you should do your best to be as assertive and to ride as safely as possible. There are a number of things to keep in mind, and as boring as cycling safety may be, it is what will help prevent accidents.
Lock it up
Always lock up your bike. Even if you are just popping into a shop for five minutes, lock your bike up. You might even want to use two different locks.
Be assertive
Take a cycling training course if you haven't done so already. OK, so you may have learnt to ride a bike when you were small and how hard is it to remember? It's literally like riding a bike again. But, you will be surprised what a two hour course can do. It will change the way you think about cycling and the way you cycle, forever. Understand the rules of the road and exercise good cycling proficiency. This will help to keep you safe on the roads.
Traffic lights
When you get to a traffic light what should you do? Gear down. Pedalling in high gear once the lights have turned green is for fools. Gear down and give yourself a head start.
Punctures and bike maintenance
Part of being a cyclist is knowing your instrument; your bike. Get to know your bike inside and out. You shouldn't set off on a ride if you don't know how to fix a puncture. A puncture repair kit will help you, so will puncture-proof tyres. Be wise, and know how to fix one, just in case.
It is also important that you carry out essential bike maintenance. There is plenty of advice on the internet; apps, YouTube are all there with helpful tips. By learning these handy tips yourself you will be able to save yourself money by not constantly checking your bike in for regular maintenance and fixes. Make sure that your tyres are always firmly pumped before heading out on your bike, a flat tyre can be extremely dangerous.
Take your time
It can be tempting to cycle fast and not take the time to practice proper cycling proficiency. Take your time, look before you signal to manoeuvre, glance back before you place your arm out to turn.
You will find that pedestrians do walk out in front of you, cars forget to look and people in general will irritate you. Take a deep breath, sometimes you need to take an extremely deep breath, and focus on the task at hand. Try your best not to get angry, cycling should not be stressful, despite what can happen sometimes.
Bicycle accidents sadly do happen. If they do it is important that you speak to a bike solicitor to file a bicycle accident claim. Do what you can to be as safe as possible on the roads, but if you are involved in a bike accident then take the necessary steps to claim the compensation that you deserve.

text: My research currently focuses on the fundamental understanding of collective behaviors of active self-propulsive particles in colloidal suspensions by Brownian/Stokesian Dynamics. Depending on the distribution of interaction potentials on these particle surfaces, magnitudes and directions of self-propulsion, suspension particle sizes and shapes, we could understand the physics of the cluster formation and their spatio-temporal dynamics in colloidal level by both simulations and theory. The outcome of these studies may have significant implications in novel applications in nanotechnology, drug delivery. To determine rheological properties of these suspensions, I will also carry out probe-rheology of suspension of active self-propulsive particles by using both hydrodynamical theory and Brownian Dynamics simulations. Self-diffuisvity of the probe, structural distributions of active particles around the probe, microviscosity of the suspensions altogether will provide microscopic-level understanding of the "structure-rheology" relationship for this type of soft matter.

Michigan's law on suing for pain and suffering after an accident is complex. Most car accidents are addressed under Michigan's no-fault laws. Michigan's no fault laws are a series of laws that address the type of benefits you may be entitled to after a car accident. The law also determines which insurance carriers will be responsible for paying no-fault benefits and the amount of time you are able to receive benefits after an accident. Most importantly, Michigan's no-fault law determines when an injured accident victim may file a lawsuit to seek compensation for injuries.
Michigan law requires accident victims prove several critical issues before receiving compensation for pain and suffering:
The most challenging part of seeking compensation after under Michigan's no-fault laws is demonstrating you have a threshold injury. Demonstrating you have a serious disability, or impairment of body function, is not simple and straightforward. The law does not provide juries or judges with guidelines on this issue. While there are no guidelines, courts and juries will examine factors that include:
Recovering after an accident can be difficult. You may be able to use your own insurance to cover some medical expenses and insurance may even cover lost wages. However, insurance may not be enough to cover other non economic losses you may suffer. When this happens you should contact a personal injury attorney at Nickola Law.

Managing Your Betting Bankroll
Placing bets on sporting events is great entertainment, and certainly helps bring an extra level of excitement to the proceedings. But, if you are looking to make the most out of your bets, and walk away with a good chunk of change in your pocket, managing your betting bankroll wisely is a good idea. Placing bets is, after all, about trying to make a bit of extra cash, so managing that money is an essential part of being a good bettor.
With that being said, here are a few tips about how to keep your betting bankroll in order, which will inevitably help earning more cash at the end of the day.
Keep your Winnings Separate
A common mistake that some bettors make is throwing their winnings in with their assigned betting budget the moment they become available. It seems logical to add the winnings to the betting funds, and it is, but don't do this until the start of the next month. Winnings should be kept separate, and added to the budget only when it is called for.
Cycling the money around like this will mean that you are saving money, since your next betting budget will not have to come from personal funds. It's a great way to keep ahead of the game, and keep your betting account in the green.
Stick To A Budget
It probably need not be said, but it's a very good idea to stick to a betting budget. Put aside a set amount of cash every month, and use that cash, and that cash only, to place your bets. Hey, everyone can get carried away when placing bets, it happens to the best of us. But, if you simply put your betting budget aside and separate from the rest of your money, it will make it much less easy to go over budget.
If your assigned betting cash runs out, then wait for the next month to place more bets.
Don't Bet Big
Throwing down a huge bet on a favourite team is thrilling, and adds enormous levels of excitement to a game. But, placing small, wisely thought out bets is the best way to make the most of your sports betting nz budget. Small wins may not be as exciting as the big ones, but they will certainly help keep you in the green.
Consider Your Bets
And finally, the most obvious tip of all; think your bets through before placing them. There is certainly no shame in checking out the online tips, talking to other bettors, and placing a bet only when you are sure it is a wise decision. Spontaneous, passion driven bets are good fun, but not always very smart.
Keep this in mind; you may have to bet against your favourite team at some point. Yes, it seems almost sacrilegious, but cash in your pocket should always be your main concern where sport betting is concerned. Trust us when we say that your favourite team would understand you having to bet against them from time to time, for the sake of keeping your betting account balanced.

Andy Murray has been named the BBC Sports Personality of the Year in the 60th year of the award.
The British No.1 tennis player became the first Briton in 77 years to win the Wimbledon men's singles title after beating Novak Djokovic at SW19 in July.
British and Irish Lions and Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny finish second while 2010 winner AP McCoy was third.
"I'd like to thank all the public who voted, for giving me so much support over the last couple of years," said Murray, speaking at an off-season training camp in Miami. "It's made a huge difference."
"I've got a few people to thank - my family first. A lot are there in the crowd. They've supported me since I was a kid, making a lot of sacrifices for me. I couldn't have done it without you.
"My team are also all standing behind the camera here. They've been with me for a long time and I also couldn't have done it without them. Thank you to all of them.
"I know sometimes I'm not the easiest person to support but I've had a lot of pressure on me for a long time. I'm glad I managed to do it.
"No matter how excited I try to sound, my voice always sounds boring - that's just my voice. I'm sorry. I'm very excited right now. Thank you very much everyone."
Murray had begun the year with defeat in the Australian Open final to Djokovic before he withdrew from the French Open with a back problem.
But 12 months on from his defeat to Roger Federer at Wimbledon, he produced a fitting performance to end Britain's wait for the male singles champion at the All-England Club.
Elsewhere, the Lions, who claimed a first series win for 17 years against Australia won the Team of the Year award ahead of Europe's Solheim Cup Team and Team Sky, while Warren Gatland held off competition from Ivan Lendl to win Coach of the Year.
To mark the 60th anniversary of the ceremony, Sir Alex Ferguson, the retired former Manchester United manager was given a special Diamond Award presented by Sir Bobby Charlton.
