Buying a new or used Mitsubishi?
Whether you are buying a tough off-road SUV like the L200, a compact car like the Mirage, the ubiquitous Shogun, the Outlander or even its 'world's first plug in hybrid SUV' twin - the Outlander PHEV, you should consider how it's insured!
New cars – however great they are – depreciate rapidly in their first year, and standard insurance covers their value rather than the price you paid. This is particularly important when it comes to cars bought using finance or personal contract hire plans.Should anything happen to your new vehicle, the insurance will only cover its value at that point in time – and not your outstanding payments or obligations.
Direct Gap Insurance specialises in providing the best gap insurance cover for your vehicle. Buying online means that you can save up to 75% cheaper on dealer quotations.
It's best to check before you buy from a dealer. We often speak to customers who have been quoted £500+ by a Mitsubishi dealer only to find the same gap insurance policy with us for less than half the price (and sometimes even with the same insurance provider).
Our Mitsubishi Gap Insurance Products
We cover all Mitsubishi vehicles in the UK! We supply gap insurance for all makes of new and used Mitsubishi vehicles including the Mitsubishi Colt, Mitsubishi Lancer, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mitsubishi Shogun, Mitsubishi L200, Mitsubishi ASX, Mitsubishi Evoluttion X, Mitsubishi iMiEV.
We offer the full range of GAP insurance products:
Finance / Lease / Contract Hire Gap Insurance
Pays the difference between the vehicle valuation on your Mitsubishi at the point of total loss and the cost of settling your Lease, Contract Hire or Hire Purchase agreement.
Return to Invoice Gap Insurance
Pays the difference between the vehicle valuation on your Mitsubishi at the point of total loss and the original purchase invoice price of the vehicle.
Vehicle Replacement Insurance
Pays the difference between the vehicle valuation on your Mitsubishi at the point of loss and the cost of replacing the vehicle with a new vehicle of the same specification or of similar age if the vehicle was not new when purchased if your vehicle is written off.
All our policies have the additional benefits with policy terms of up to five years on new and used Mitsubishi vehicles. There are no mileage restrictions. Combine this with the fact all policies provide a £250 excess cover in the event of total loss. You can even transfer your policy if you decide to change the vehicle early.
Most vehicles can be covered provided the cover is purchased within 180 days of ownership of the vehicle. We offer unlimited claims on vehicles costing up to £50,000.

It has taken nearly three weeks with some covering up to 400 kilometres, but scores of Spanish miners finally arrived in Madrid on Tuesday night at the end of their long march.
Huge cuts in subsidies to coal mining companies provoking enforced lay-offs, plus further cuts in funding to miners seeking to retrain, have stirred the men to protest. They were joined by thousands of sympathisers.
One miner who thought the whole march had been an unforgettable experience said:
"The crowd here is impressive. Some may say that Madrid is right-wing but it is not. It is a true workers' city. We are so surprised. We had the same warm welcome in all the others villages along the march."
The miners' plight has brought out an emotional response from other workers. They have also been hit by high taxes, a squeeze on education and new regulations making it cheaper to fire them.
With a marked sense of solidarity, a mass protest will be held in Madrid later today.

One of the biggest frustrations in the office is looking for files on your computer that you can't remember where you saved. You literally have hundreds of files that you might access every now and then, and you only have a handful of them that you access on a regular basis.
I am often asked how I do my filing, how do I remember where everything is? Well here are my tips for creating a workable filing system and remember where you put them, every time.
Now, this is not a fool-proof system and does not come with a guarantee, however it works for me. That said, everything can always be improved upon. If you have extra tips, that you would like to share, please leave a comment below.
Consistency is the key just remember the K.I.S.S principle.
- Create a file hierarchy, if you deal with clients, create a "main" folder for each client, if you deal with projects create a "main" folder for each project
- Create sub folders within your "main" folders and make them the same for all your clients. That said, not all clients are the same and you may have some that have slightly different requirements to the others so set them up accordingly
- Alternately create your generic folders as your main folders, ie Finance, Invoices and then create your sub folders under them. It's six of one and half a dozen of the other, just experiment with what will work for you
- Try not to create any more than 4 sub levels per folder, or you will spend forever clicking through to find what you want
- Make a copy of your most frequently used folders and add a shortcut to your desk top
- Make sure your paper filing mirrors your electronic files, don't use two different systems
- It's not rocket science, there is no need to keep reinventing the wheel

New plastic wrap might keep buildings cool even when the sun is shining
It sounds crazy in the headlines: Newly engineered material can cool roofs, structures with zero energy consumption. Some are more effusive, suggesting that This film might just save the planet. After all, we use a lot of energy for air conditioning and the way things are going, will probably be using a lot more in the future.
The film was developed by a team of University of Colorado Boulder engineers, and works on the principle of passive radiative cooling. As one article titled "it's not rocket science" explains, radiant cooling has been used for centuries; the Persians used it to make ice at night 2,000 years ago.
Engineer Robert Bean has explained how sun warms us up in the daytime with short wave infrared radiation. We cool off at night as our buildings radiate long wave radiation out to the coldness of space. Our buildings do this in the daytime too, but the effect is overwhelmed by the incoming short wave infrared from the sun.What the University of Colorado team has apparently done is to develop a film that is highly reflective to the incoming radiation from the sun, but that is transparent to the long wave radiation being given off by the building underneath; the building is radiating and space is cold day and night.
More technically, it is a thin layer of polymethylpentene plastic with a thin silver coating and "embedded visibly-scattering but infrared-radiant glass microspheres" which, according to the Economist, are just the right diameter to emit "wavelengths which pass straight through the infrared "window" in the atmosphere. Since the source of the heat that turns into this infrared is, in part, the building below, the effect is to cool the building."
According to The University of Colorado website, the material is cheap enough that we can shrink-wrap our buildings in it, at about 50 cents per yard;
"Both the glass-polymer metamaterial formation and the silver coating are manufactured at scale on roll-to-roll processes," added Ronggui Yang, also a professor of mechanical engineering and a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. "Just 10 to 20 square meters of this material on the rooftop could nicely cool down a single-family house in summer," said Gang Tan, an associate professor in the University of Wyoming's Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering and a co-author of the paper.
This probably won't totally replace conventional air conditioning; it won't work on cloudy days. It is not going to be totally zero energy consumption; if the film wraps an insulated building, how does it get the heat that has to be radiated? There would have to be some kind of system to move the heat to the surface of the building.
But as Robert Bean wrote last year:
There will come a time when we won't use compressors for the cooling of people and buildings. It is simply not necessary. The heat sinks we need to reject heat to, or absorb heat from, are literally within our reach and there are some very smart people who will show us how to get very good at accessing them.
He concludes by quoting Randy Bachman: "B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet." Perhaps we are beginning to.

The Ultimate Checklist to Complete Your Next Construction Project
Often the last thought in your mind when your job is running full speed ahead is project closeout. Your subcontractors are showing up, your rented equipment works and is where it should be, and all is right in the world. As the days pass and your project draws to a close, you're ready to chalk this one up as a success and prepare for your next challenge. 77% of projects experience some form of schedule overrun, so a project that is on pace to finish on time is a cause for celebration.
Not so fast.
The final days of a project have a huge impact on your overall profitability and success—as the saying goes, projects are remembered not by how they start but how they finish. If something goes wrong at the end, it could turn that "perfect" project into an absolute nightmare. It happens more frequently than any of us like to admit; a jobsite or project that was chugging along admirably gets totally off track at the end. Suddenly, your subs are disappearing, change orders turn into actual claims and your client is freaking out about the trash and rental units left on their property.
A successful closeout is key to your financial success because it allows you to receive final payments. In fact, you typically won't be able to release final retainage without it—effectively putting as much as 10% of your contract at stake. And that 10% loss doesn't even factor in the costs associated with claims that can come from prolonged payment disputes.
What causes this last-minute derailment, and what can you do to prevent it?
It's all about the project closeout process. If you simply wrap things up and hope for the best, you're practically begging for problems. Since you're at the end of the project, you may not even have the resources on hand to easily correct errors if you discover them after your workers have been released. The right construction closeout plan is essential to properly and efficiently close out a project so you can hand it over to the client with confidence.
Your Project Closeout Plan Will Make or Break Your Project
The way you approach the very end of a project can have long-lasting implications for your business; a poor closeout can even totally derail a project that has otherwise been running smoothly. All the work you did to engage with the client and build a relationship can be destroyed in this final phase. No matter how well the final stage looks, the job is not complete until all steps of the closeout have been completed and everyone goes home satisfied.
What makes this vital process so easy to mess up—or overlook entirely? Failing to consider the closeout process until you are in the final phases, not having a plan for turning the project over to the owner, and failing to follow through could turn your dream project into a nightmare. Delays are common at the last minute during the closeout process, simply because vital pieces of information are missing, papers need to be tracked down, or un-finished change orders suddenly turn into actual claims. Any one of these issues can derail your progress and cause your project to run past the anticipated deadline.
With the right tools, the closeout process is surprisingly simple and you can be sure that everything is complete, that your customer is satisfied and that you are keeping the avenues clear for future projects and revenues. A look at some construction project closeout best practices and efficiency measures can help you make the most of this critical element.
What Is Construction Closeout?
A construction project isn't like an old car; you can't just sign over the title, accept money and walk away. You need to address everything from the work performed by your subcontractors to the return of rented equipment and facilities and be sure that your site is truly ready for the end client to occupy.
Much of the problem with project closeout is that it involves detailed coordination, paperwork, tracking over so many processes and systems. However, by using field productivity software, you can capture data and intelligence in the field and more effectively streamline project closeout. Closeout does not have to be overwhelming or a nightmare to deal with; if you're still struggling with paper contracts, change orders, and invoicing, some innovations in technology could be all you need to simplify your closeout process.
Common Project Closeout Problems
An ideal project closeout process is fast and straightforward because you already have all the data you need on hand, but some common problems can derail your progress. Simply failing to plan for this crucial project component can cause issues and push your completion date and final payment back further than you intended. Since everyone on the site is completely focused on sprinting to the finish line, project closeout problems can lead to costly errors. Here are a few of the most common causes of closeout delays and problems:
Poor communication between the field and office
Your designers, accountants, and managers all need to play a role in the closeout process. If they don't have what they need or can't access information, then your closeout will be full of delays and frustration. The easier it is for your teams to collaborate, the better your closeout experience will be. Facilitate this communication using intuitive construction software designed to enhance collaboration and closeout will be a breeze.
Delayed change order resolution
A change order that is misplaced, ignored, or not completed correctly can easily turn into a claim, which will slow your project closeout. Track change requests and make sure that work is complete well before this final stage to avoid not only delays but conflict as well. Conflicts, claims, and disputes can slow your progress and eat up your profits; as soon as a change order becomes a claim, it becomes more difficult to resolve.
The reverse bell curve
You've likely heard that projects typically require the maximum amounts of effort during startup and closeout of a project. However, most people leave out the most important part of this common piece of advice: you may not always have the resources you need for that extra push at the end. This odd phenomenon impacts projects of all types and sizes; you need to be aware that work performed at the end of the job may not be of the same quality as work performed on day one. Team members will demobilize from the site when they think they are done; notifying them in a timely manner of outstanding closeout tasks can help you avoid delays at the most critical part of the job.
Lost information and paperwork
The closeout process includes so many individual pieces of information, such as emails and file distribution, that studies show up to 30% of initial data created during design and construction phases are lost by project closeout. Those documents you had at the beginning of the project, three weeks ago? If you don't have a document management system in place that lets you know where they are at all times then they're long gone, along with the clipboard you had them on.
Any time the critical documents you need are in an easy to lose, easy to destroy format like paper, you take on risk. Key closeout documents like warranties, lien releases, and facilities training documents come in all different formats, at different times, all towards the end of the project. If you can't locate any of these items at closeout, you could be in for a serious headache when you should be celebrating a successful project.
Project Closeout: A Detailed Plan for this Phase
During this part of the construction project, all facets and components of the entire job need to be properly finished and signed off on before the team begins to disperse. The contractor or project manager needs to be sure that all parts of the project are truly complete and that the last components installed look as good as the first.
Implementing a comprehensive, step by step approach to project closeout and using technology to aid the process can boost efficiency and ensure you are handing over a completed work you are truly proud of. The right approach at this stage can also ward off problems and ensure the client ends up happy with the experience and final results.
Step 1: Project Closeout
During this step, the project or site manager will confirm that all project requirements have been satisfied, all work has been completed and all promises have been kept. This is the time to review any change requests, view all work and go over your initial documentation to ensure that you have fulfilled your obligations to your client. Software that tracks every package and part of the project can streamline this process considerably and shorten the amount of time you spend tracking down paper and employees on the job site.
You'll need to:
- Document that all work has been completed as outlined in the original contract or order; if something is missing, incomplete or not done correctly, document and take steps to correct.
- Review legal requirements and ensure that all terms have been met.
- Meet with any code or inspection authorities and obtain COE and other documentation
- Review any change orders to ensure that these have been completed prior to client closeout.
- Review client notes to ensure that any requests have been attended to and that the site is truly ready to be handed over.
Step 2: Client Closeout
Client closeout is your chance to not only ensure that the client is satisfied with the deliverables but also to verify their acceptance and even solidify your relationship. If everything has been done correctly and you've completed the work, this part should be a positive experience for you both. In fact, it's a great opportunity to really improve client satisfaction by getting your closeout clean, organized, and swiftly in the hands of the owner.
This is your last chance to impress your clients by listening to their feedback and addressing any concerns immediately before they become blown out of proportion or too far gone to fix. Now is the time for your construction productivity software to come into play, with issue tracking tools for owner requests and punch lists you can make sure your clients feel they are truly heard.
This part can be as formal as you'd like; in person interviews, a customer satisfaction survey and even follow up emails can yield valuable feedback from key stakeholders. This feedback allows you to not only serve this particular customer better but boosts your performance for other clients as well.
Step 3: Organizational Closeout
This step demobilizes your company, employees and equipment from the work site and project in a reasonable manner. Start by notifying any subs or other parties of the last date you'll be working on the site.
Release any borrowed or rented equipment as you close out the relevant portions of the project. Include an inventory and notes and take photos or video of any pieces you need to. Everything from big equipment to lavatory facilities and your construction trailers will need to be removed from the site; the job isn't done until all signs of your team's presence are gone.
Site cleaning, equipment warranties, and documentation for any installed equipment needs to be relayed at this point as well.
Reconcile the budget, comparing the money you spent with the money you budgeted and paying outstanding invoices. Interfacing with the in-office accounting team is essential; the records won't be truly complete until Finance signs off. If you're already generating field reports and using construction software, this process will be considerably easier than tracking down paper daily reports.
Don't forget the "thanks": As a project manager, a quick note of thanks to your stakeholders and the teams that contributed to the process can help close out the project. Let key players know the project is ending, thank them for their contribution and let them know any results that are relevant to their concerns or departments. Facilitating communication in this way helps the in-office team work with the on-site team and can foster healthy working relationships.
Step 4: Subcontract Closeout
Any subcontracts for work performed on the site need to be properly closed out as well. Verify that all work has been completed and that it meets your quality standards. You'll also need to confirm that any change orders have been completed before you release your subcontracts. Track these changes with your construction software and you can pull up everything you need to know in an instant. Then, at closeout time, all you have to do is verify the information is correct instead of wasting time searching for missing records.
Once you verify the work was done, you can reconcile payment amounts and invoices and submit to your finance department as needed. You should also draft a note to each subcontractor thanking them for their contribution and providing any feedback you have for the job. This is also the time to take note of subcontractors you'd like to work with again and note any issues that should be addressed with individual subs or providers.
Step 5: Risk Assessment
Are there any threats or concerns you need to think about at the end of the project? This step is deceptively minor; it doesn't take a lot of time, but if you uncover a risk, it can derail your progress entirely. Review the project to identify any risks or potential liabilities and to create a strategy to mitigate any problems or issues you identify. Legal risks, political issues, cash flow, worker training, transferring the deliverables, and other risks should be carefully assessed to ensure the final handover is easy and efficient.
Step 6: Write a Final Report
Officially close out the project by creating a document that outlines each of the previous steps and provides insight into each part of the process. Use this memo to demonstrate that all facets of the job are complete, list out any problems you identified, and offer suggestions to improve performance in the future. This report can be presented to upper management and used to further improve your processes and performance.
Step 7: Team Closeout
Your final walkthrough with the team that did the on-site work allows you to preserve any lessons learned from this specific project. It also helps bridge the communication gap between design team members, contractors, and subcontractors.
This is the ideal chance to connect with and show your appreciation for those team members and managers who made the project work; this step not only shows your thanks but makes these key performers eager to work with you in the future. Celebrate a job well done with a wrap-up party or other gathering; for the cost of a few pizzas and beers, you can ensure that your team feels appreciated and that interest in your next project will be high.
Project Closeout Checklist
Considering the closeout process well before the last day of your project ensures that everything runs smoothly and that you wrap things up in a positive way. Your closeout will impact your client, your team, and even your future possibilities, so it is well worth taking the time to do it correctly.
What to get it right? PlanGrid takes the pain out of the closeout process by ensuring that the documentation you need is always right at your fingertips. While your contract is the final source for any specific closeout items your client requires, we compiled a checklist of the most common key steps required for a successful construction project closeout. How does your typical process compare?

Health care in the U.S. costs about $8,200 per person, the most expensive in the world. Canadians spend $4,400 while the French spend about $4,000. For about double what those countries pay per person, Americans get a health system that ranks 37th out of 191 countries ,according to the World Health Organization. The U.S. ranks just above Slovenia and Cuba, and not even close to France, which is No. 1.
Instead of attacking Obamacare, why don't the Republican members of Congress pass a law that allows Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices? Instead of voting 40 times against health care reform, why don't they vote to bring generic drugs to market faster? And while they are at it, Congress should vote to discontinue its outrageously expensive pension and health plans, rather than plan to shut down the federal government.

Intellectual disability has been defined in several ways in literature. It can be described as a neurodevelopmental disorder, which has onset in childhood and leads to impaired development of one or more human capacities (Girimaji, 2015). Intellectual disability is characterized by limitations in intellectual functioning and resulting in the need for extraordinary supports for the person to participate in activities involved with typical human functioning (Wehmeyer et al., 2008). Intellectual disability, then, is a disability in which impairments to the brain (e.g., body functions and structures) result in activity limitations and participation restrictions, specifically limitations in intellectual functioning. Intellectual functioning is defined in the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) Manual (2002) on Definition, Classification, and Support Systems in Mental Retardation, as referring to a general mental ability that includes reasoning, planning, problem solving, abstract thinking, comprehending complex ideas, learning quickly, and learning from experience (Luckasson et al., 2002). In the past internationally and in India the term "mental retardation" was widely applied and defined as "a condition of arrested or incomplete development of mind of a person which is specially characterized by sub-normality of intelligence" according to The National Trust For Welfare Of Persons With Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation And Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999. However, a more comprehensive definition takes into consideration the lower IQ scores on standard intelligence tests, as well as difficulties in social and adaptive functioning, occurring before the age of eighteen years. The latest mental health diagnostic publication, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual -5 (DSM-5), replaces the term "mental retardation" and defines intellectual (developmental) disability as "a disorder with onset during the developmental period that includes both intellectual and adaptive functioning deficits in conceptual, social, and practical domains." These revisions bring DSM into alignment with terminology used by the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), other professional disciplines and organizations, such as the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and the U.S. Department of Education. While suggesting that the term intellectual disability "covers the same population of individuals who were diagnosed previously with mental retardation in number, kind, level, type and duration of the disability and the need of people with this disability for individualized services and supports" Schalock and colleagues also recognized that the term "intellectual disability" more effectively "reflects the changed construct of disability proposed by AAIDD and the WHO" (Schalock et al., 2007). Contemporary literature uses the term "learning disability" or "learning difficulty" while discussing the same condition.
A break up of the ICD definition is as follows:
Deficits in intellectual functions such as reasoning, problem-solving, planning, abstract thinking, judgment, academic learning and learning from experience, and practical understanding confirmed by both clinical assessment and individualized, standardized intelligence testing.
Deficits in adaptive functioning that result in failure to meet developmental and sociocultural standards for personal independence and social responsibility. Without ongoing support, the adaptive deficits limit functioning in one or more activities of daily life, such as communication, social participation, and independent living, and across multiple environments, such as home, school work and school, work, and recreation.
Onset of intellectual and adaptive deficits during the developmental period. (DSM – 5, pg. 33).
Thus one observes that individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) face challenges throughout their life with regard to scholastic performance as well as in the realm of day-to-day life.

Samsung S3370 touchscreen phone preview
At the TeleVision 2010 held in Netherlands, Samsung showcased one of their (as yet) unannounced phones, the Samsung S3370 smart phone. While there was a photo leak about a month ago for the Samsung S3370 cellphone, no details were then available and so we did not see fit to write up on it. Now however, Samsung has made available some of the tech specs of the Samsung S3370 and we have clearer photos of it too.
The Samsung S3370 mobile phone is set to have a 2.6″ TFT resistive touchscreen, a 1.3 MP camera, Bluetooth 2.1, USB 2.0, FM radio and 3G connectivity. Somewhat like the Samsung Reality, the Samsung S3370 cellphone is a full touchscreen phone and does not feature a physical keypad.
This means that the Samsung S3370 smart phone is really quite compact (99.9 x 53 x 12.9 mm) although perhaps a shade thicker than the iPhone and similar high end smart phones. The Samsung S3370 mobile phone weighs about 86g which is pretty light and should mean that it is comfortable to handle.
The Samsung S3370 cellphone has already been labeled as an entry-level touchscreen phone and truth be told that is pretty much what the Samsung S3370 smart phone looks like to us too.
Pricing and availability was also revealed by Samsung with the Samsung S3370 expected to be available in the next few months and set to be priced at about €100 or roughly $135.

Two competitions coming up this weekend, there's a gap on the weekend of the 18th-19th (which suits me down to the ground, as I'm actually playing The Crystal Maze on the 18th) and two more on the weekend of the 25th-26th.
The weekend of the 10th-13th sees the sixth ("Serbian") round of the World Puzzle Federation's Puzzle Grand Prix and the instruction booklet is already available. Usual drill: 90 minutes, free to play, score as many points as you can by solving puzzles, start no earlier than midday European time on Friday 10th and finish by midnight European at the end of Monday 13th. Take a look at the types of puzzles in advance; I'd say these look pretty tough, but every round is delicately balanced on the tough-to-accessible spectrum and it's just that this round has puzzles that don't play to my strengths.
This weekend also sees the online UK Sudoku Championship – you can click through there for the link to the instruction booklet – and that runs in a somewhat similar fashion. Two hour time limit, free to play, score as many points as you can by solving sudoku and sudoku variants, start no earlier than midday UK time on Friday 10th and finish by 11:55pm UK time at the end of Monday 13th.
On the weekend of the 25th-26th, it's the other way around: another round of the Sudoku GP and also the UK Puzzle Championship. The UKPC is expected to be 2½ hours long. It's been my favourite puzzle championship of the year for a few years now and it deliberately contains more identifiably accessible material than just about all of the rest of the contests. If you're going to enter only one contest, I'd recommend the UKPC above the rest. Participation is free and open worldwide. The top two UK participants from each of the UK championships qualify for the UK team for the World Sudoku Championships or World Puzzle Championships, as appropriate.
I may have taken a pot shot at sports' governing bodies at large in my previous entry, whether physical or mind, but many thanks to all those who have created these contests, tested these contests, or created and maintained the infrastructure to make them available to the public at large.

We aim to provide an efficient service with a focus on you, the customer.
We are based in Portstewart which is on the windy, rugged and occasionally sunny North coast of Ireland. I (Alice), started the business in April 2011 and since then, haven't looked back. I love what I do! In February 2014 we launched this new website. Hopefully you will find it easier to navigate and we have new payment options for those wishing to use credit card rather than paypal.
On a practical side, we head to the post office at around 1pm every day so usually have all orders that are in before 12 noon away in that days post. If you are in a rush for your order, please give us a call and I will make a special effort to have your order out that day. We use Royal Mail 2nd class post as our standard £1 flat rate service but you can easily upgrade to first class at the checkout. The exception to this for the UK is larger orders which due to size constraints, we sometimes send using Parcelforce's 48 hour service.
We love feedback. We are continually striving to improve our range and service so if you have any suggestions we would love to hear them. Are there designers that you would like to see in our store? Are there pieces of hardware or indie pattern designers that you would like to see us stock in the UK? Well we'd love to hear about it and will happily consider all your suggestions.
Thanks again for stopping by, and remember we're just at the end of the keyboard or telephone!

The car is now going to Ajec Racing for fitting after a issues…..anyway made a little mistake last weekend…I removed the sunroof last weekend with the intention of riveting on an aluminium sheet this weekend however I got caught up and didn't get the sheet fitted. Anyway checked the car yesterday and there were 2 huge puddles in the drivers and passengers footwells 🙁 Guess those 2 car covers I had covering it weren't enough!!! Anyway after drying the car up and removing the water we had a bit of a play and removed a bit of wiring, had a mess around under the engine bay, removed the battery, and took the front bumper off to get a better look around.
Clothing and Helmet
Bucket Seat and Harnesses
Well after a few problems with the wrong seat being delivered and looking at receipt to see she'd written down the wrong seat but still charged me for the more expensive one!! After a few phonecalls, they didn't have the seat I wanted in stock and said it would be at least a week, so I decided to upgrad to an XL and managed to get myself some 6 point harnesses at cost price!

I would remind you that this is the system Hillary and the Left would seek to implement when ObamaCare fails. These are the types of things Americans will have to endure. Just wait till the central planners really control our health care
A Canadian couple of 62 years hoped to spend the rest of their lives together. Unfortunately, they can now only see each other every other day due to being admitted into separate nursing homes.
For the last eight months, Wolf and Anita Gottschalk of Surrey, B.C have been forced to live apart. On top of their heartbreaking situation, the Gottschalks must endear tear-jerking goodbyes multiple times a week.
What could cause such a heartbreaking situation you ask? Well, just wait…………

How carefully does everyone check out the neighborhood when pulling into a Walmart?
Back on topic
How carefully does everyone check out the neighborhood when pulling into a Walmart?This occurred to me a couple of years ago when I ran into someone who commented on staying overnight at the Walmart in Hartford, Connecticut. That store is located within two blocks of a neighborhood with one of the highest murder rates in the state. Im uncomfortable there in the daytime, let alone staying overnight. This person had no clue where he was sleeping.
I want proof the pit bull was stupid.
What an ignorant reply.
Dear John. what does your story have to do with my post?.
Not to drift off this invigorating discussion, but has anyone pulled off the road in Canada and Alaska and boon docked for the night. Just wondering if it is possible to pull up to a river do a little fishing, and stay for the night? Safe? Doable?Like in the brouchers that show real camping.JimLeavin in three weeks....but who is counting?
I think I'll regret this post.. There will always be freeloaders and always advantage takers and then there are folks who like to support the RV camping industry. Count me in... I will support the campground every time. Hit me...
I'm new with the MH, and I was thinking that on an occasional longer trip this is one of the selling advantages for getting the MH over the pup we had.Is there any sort of directory or reference to good and reasonably safe places.... or even one that lists which walmarts allow it.... which Cracker Barrels, which track stops are good.....etc.... How do you go about finding a store that allows it?I was thinking about this just the other day when having lunch at Cracker Barrel. wondering if they had such a directory & i was going to ask the manager about it but it was busy.
We stopped at several Walmart parking lots on our trip across country so far and felt just fine at each one except Kansas City. When we arrived it was 9pm and the parking lot had very few cars and no RV's. Within ten minutes of parking, a car parked two spaces in front of us and the woman looked really suspicious. She stayed in the car sitting up and kept looking over at our RV and when she saw me she would look back down. She was parked there looking suspicious the entire time. I just didn't feel comfortable because why did she have to park right in front of me way out at the far end of the parking lot all by ourselves. Well, after about two hours I finally decided to drive off and find another Walmart about thirty miles down the road where we found about five other RV's parked. Have you ever parked in a parking lot for the night and just didn't feel comfortable for some reason?
Is there any sort of directory or reference to good and reasonably safe places.... or even one that lists which walmarts allow it.... which Cracker Barrels, which track stops are good.....etc.... How do you go about finding a store that allows it?
Does Wallmart allow fishing?
little crime when the economy is good Really where in this world is that true?
...you're probably just as safe or safer than many State Forest campgrounds where you can be sitting practically alone in the deep forest, subject to all that looming danger roaming about...

Win, Nick Martinez. Save, Greg Maddux?
During the Rangers' last road trip the 24-year-old sidled up next to the Hall of Famer and picked his brain during an entire game. Maddux's advice was to throw strikes early in the count, then rely on his best pitch – his fastball – as his out pitch. In other words, patience.
Hey, the man didn't win 355 games by accident.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
Last night in Arlington Martinez took Maddux's words to the mound and picked up his first home victory of the season in a 2-1 win over the Astros. Martinez indeed threw more variety early in the count and left with a lead after 101 pitches in the 7th.
"I think I was pressing a little bit to get quick outs," Martinez told reporters after the game. "That's where those long innings come from so early, and they mount up. This time I attacked people and threw strikes and relied on my fastball with two strikes."
The rookie has blossomed into a potential bright spot in an otherwise dark season. He's allowed only seven runs in his last 30 innings – with one final start in the season finale Sunday against Oakland – has at least earned the chance to compete for a rotation spot in next year's spring training.
A native Texan who was born in Duncanville and graduated from UT-Arlington, Richie Whitt has been a mainstay in the Metroplex media since 1986. He's held prominent roles on all media platforms including newspaper (Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Dallas Observer), radio (105.3 The Fan) and TV (co-host on TXA 21 and numerous guest appearances, including NBC 5). He currently lives in McKinney with his wife, Sybil, and two very spoiled dogs.

Stand apart with visible comfort and style with the uber cool range of Jutis. Jutis hold a lineage with deep roots in the Indian tradition. Find exquisite and stylish embroideries on Jutis that have an oomph factor when synced with traditional Indian outfits. For every Indian celebration, the juti completes the clothing with regal fashion.
Jutis are a part of the richest era of Indian history, extremely popular amongst the kings and the queens of ancient India. Various designs in this category are also inspired from the grand Mughal era. Jutis are a craftsmanship of skilled artisans giving beauty, vibrant color and utility, they give a royal touch with rich golden threading and colorful beads that are used to craft exquisite motifs made over different shades of leather or other material.
Jutis made from fine leather are designed with great detail in embroidery using threads or beads. They are uniquely stylish and soft, and extremely comfortable to wear. You can slide your feet in the jutis much like a slip-on leaving most of the top feet bare. The embroidery is usually delicate and that is what elegance to our jutis.
Worn traditionally on occasions like weddings and festivities, Jutis are essential to sync and complete any traditional dress like Sherwani or even Kurtas and Indo-westerns.
Jutis are very popular all over India, with different styles, patterns and adornments to keep up with the changing generations. One can find a vast array of Jutis that come in all kinds of colors and designs. Fine embroidery juxtaposed with pearls, beads, and colourful stones have been used to give the Juti a touch of elegance along with the essence of true Indian tradition.
Even with changing times, Jutis have evolved in usage beyond just ceremonial attire to fusion dressing worn over jeans and other clothing. Some designs are intrinsic and delicate, while some Jutis showcase simplicity or coloured leather with just a few additional add-ons. Our wide variety of Jutis is a class apart and stand as an emblem of our rich Indian tradition. Moreover, they are comfortable and will appeal to everyone.

Brentin Mock
Brentin Mock is a staff writer at CityLab. He was previously the justice editor at Grist.
On May 12, Al-Jazeera America ran a story about a social justice-focused urban design conference hosted by the African American Student Union (AASU) of Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, just days before protests in Baltimore turned ornery. This black student group made waves a couple of years ago when they brought the college-dropout-turned-honorary-Ph.D rapper Kanye West to campus, where he proffered his vision of how design will save the world.
The African-American design students are well-invested in that vision as well. They find it difficult to realize that vision, however, when their instruction has been based in the work of architects whose worldviews don't give heavy weight to social problems. AASU president Dana McKinney told Al Jazeera that issues of race and justice are not only not discussed among designers, but neither does Harvard's Design School offer courses that consider these things together.
Such class omissions would seem to leave these future urban designers ill-prepared in the face of escalating tensions around policing and city policies that produce racial inequities. For students trained as problem solvers, it has to be frustrating that their profession seems to have little impact on the prevailing problems of communities of color today. Part of the problem is that thinking about how race should intersect with design too often becomes the burden of citizens, if it becomes anyone's burden at all.
"Practitioners need to improve their proficiency with regard to working on social equity issues," says Carlton Eley, an urban planner who works for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. He notes that there are professionals of color in organizations like the National Organization of Minority Architects* (NOMA) who are thinking critically about these issues, but are often overlooked by the mainstream design community.
Bryan Lee, NOMA's 2014 "Member of the Year" and place + civic design director for the Arts Council of New Orleans, has been working to elevate these kinds of issues since he was in college—where he split undergrad time in between Florida A&M University, a historically black college, and Ohio State University. Neither school experience broached the topics of race, justice, and the built environment within his core curricula, he says.
"The issue is an ideology that finds its roots in architectural modernism, which eliminates ethnocultural and even sociocultural conditions from the variables that define quality architecture," says Lee. "When we eliminate these essential considerations, we lose the ability for architecture to respond to the colloquial design languages of the people it serves."
Lee faults the accreditation process for architecture schools in both HBCUs and mainstream universities for this. The National Architectural Accrediting Board sets the requirements that validate these architectural programs, but, says Lee, they "lack the representation of any group that would potentially speak to the cultural variables that are necessary in the buildings we design."
Which means the NAAB determines whether race and justice merit any weight in the development of these emerging urban design leaders. Still, as Eley references, there are architects who are thinking through these things. They even have books—peer-reviewed and everything. I asked a few urban architects and designers what texts they would include in a syllabus for the kind of course that McKinney says her grad-school peers lack. I got back a list longer than could be published, even on the Internet. Here's an excerpt of that list:
- There Goes the 'Hood, by Lance Freeman, 2006
- Fair and Healthy Land Use: Environmental Justice and Planning, by Craig Anthony Arnold, 2007
- Aesthetics of Equity, by Craig Wilkins, 2007
- Structural Inequality: Black Architects in the United States, by Victoria Kaplan, 2006

- Redevelopment and Race: Planning a Finer City in Postwar Detroit, June Manning Thomas, 1997
- Planning Atlanta, by Harley F. Etienne and Barbara Faga, 2015
- The Black Metropolis in the 21st Century: Race, Power, and the Politics of Place, edited by Robert Bullard, 2007
- Growing Smarter: Achieving Livable Communities, Environmental Justice, and Regional Equity, edited by Robert Bullard, 2007
- Just Sustainabilities: Development in an Unequal World, edited by Julian Agyeman, Robert D. Bullard and Bob Evans, 2003
- Race, Poverty, and American Cities, by John Charles Boger, 1993
- Black Metropolis: A Study of Negro Life in a Northern City, by St. Clair Drake and Horace R. Cayton, 1962
- Everything from David Harvey
- The Philadelphia Negro, by W.E.B. Dubois, 1896
*CORRECTION: The original version of this story mistakenly referred to the National Association of Minority Architects. They are the National Organization of Minority Architects.
After each epidemic and disaster, our social norms and behaviors change. As researchers begin to study coronavirus's impacts, history offers clues.
Two new studies have revived the long-running debate over how police respond to white criminal suspects versus African Americans.
For black men like Christian Cooper, the threat of a call to police casts a cloud of fear over parks and public spaces that others associate with safety.
People in different regions of the U.S. have measurably different psychological profiles.
Stressful commutes, unexpected routines, and emergent wildlife appear in your homemade maps of life during the coronavirus pandemic.

Keep your space comfortable and inviting year-round!
At Big Ass Fans, we made our name by bringing cooling relief and fresh airflow into hot, rugged, and uncomfortable big spaces. We excelled at moving a ton of air to make working conditions more comfortable for industrial workers, and so when asked about creating public-friendly versions of our fans, we knew that we needed the same unmatched airflow, but at a sound level that wouldn't interrupt friendly conversation and with a design that wouldn't detract from a carefully-crafted aesthetic. Now our line of commercial fans is found in restaurants and other public spaces all over the world. Why? Because we ensure that dining out--one of our favorite things on earth--won't get spoiled by unforgiving temperatures or fans that kill the décor and the conversation.
Proper air circulation plays a crucial role in creating a memorable dining-out experience. Big Ass Fans gently and silently keep air moving to keep your customers comfortable year-round, without fluttering a napkin or drowning out a double date. By removing stagnant air, our fans make certain the only aroma your customers will notice is from the fresh food on their plates. Our fans come in styles and sizes to fit any décor, from industrial-chic to Asian fusion; they can make a strong statement when one is wanted or blend silently into the background, and because our fans' airfoils are precision-balanced, you'll never have to worry about them wobbling or ticking. And our LEDs provide warm, efficient light to brighten your space while lowering your energy bill for years without requiring any maintenance.
Big Ass Fans' efficient operation works hand-in-hand with existing HVAC systems to cut energy costs throughout the year. In warm weather, they provide an additional 10°F (5.6°C) cooling effect, which means managers can raise the thermostat setting without sacrificing guests' comfort. In cold weather, Big Ass Fans gently redirect warmed air collecting at the ceiling back down to your guests' level to both improve comfort and reduce heating expenses by as much as 30%. This consistent comfort means that you won't lose tables by the window to radiant heat or to chilly spots near vents, so your customers can dine in relaxation anywhere, whether they're sitting by the kitchen, near the front door, or on the patio.
We can't cook the food or mix the drinks for you--not without frequent tastings, anyway--but we can quietly help keep your customers satisfied and coming back to enjoy your restaurant's ambience and unique flavors time and again.
Brands: Our HVLS (high-volume, low-speed) ceiling fans lead the industry in performance and design to keep your space attractive and your customers cool and relaxed.

The Slaveholding Republic: An Account of the United States Government's Relations to Slavery
The Slaveholding Republic: An Account of the United States Government's Relations to Slavery
Only days before Don Fehrenbacher died, he wrote me of his plans to finish his book, The Slaveholding Republic, a project he had been working on for many years: "After nearly five years of concentrating on other things, I am once again giving primary emphasis to work on my book about the federal government and slavery." This news came in the form of a handwritten Christmas note. When I heard of his death, I left the card with its message on my windowsill, in direct eyesight above my computer, the place of my work hours. It remains there as of this writing. Many months after his death, when the task of finishing the manuscript was given to me by Virginia Fehrenbacher, the card took on new meaning—a daily reminder to complete this last effort of a fondly remembered former mentor and great historian.
The thesis that he had carefully developed in the uncompleted work was straightforward: The framers of the Constitution had not intended to make slavery a national institution supported by the Union's fundamental law. Yet, over time, the antebellum federal government adopted the position that slavery was a national institution fully protected by the Constitution. Not all Americans acquiesced in this new understanding, leading to a sectionalization of politics that produced a bloody conflagration that in turn destroyed the slaveholding republic.
Don Fehrenbacher's account begins with two separate unsuccessful claims for reimbursement of injured or lost slave property made to Congress in 1828 and 1848 as a way of introducing the issue of whether or not the Constitution was universally regarded in the antebellum period as a proslavery instrument. These examples show that before the Civil . . .

MODS if this is not acceptable please delete
Not all adventures or trips have to be in the back woods to be enjoyed, overlanding is simply traveling by land. With family sometimes it's the only way to go. Along with my injury I cant simply do the hardcore trails anymore
We left home relativity early Saturday June 15 2013 to head up to the Groton State Forest area & Island Pond to get some photographs for the VT state parks which I was interning for. We decided to take along the M416 to throw all our gear in, this left the vehicle with elbow room.
The drive from home was uneventful; the kids were listening to music & the littlest one watching her movie, thankful for wireless headphones then.
We opted for the most direct path possible, Brandon Gap, Bethel Gap and so forth up I89.
We had our first great site when we broke the ridge of the Bethel Gap. I have always taken the long way around & why I had to ask myself "Why" after being in awe of the views
Seen a trail off of here I need to come back one day & explore.
The bottom section of the road before you reach Randolph and RT12 had some neat little sharp turns here & there that my youngest disliked. So I tried to go as slow as possible without heating the brakes up too bad.
So once we got into Randolph we headed for I89 northbound & down.
I89 is along the ridges of the Green Mountains & offers some nice views.
From I89 we took the off ramp into Montpelier & headed East towards I91.
Stopped off at the capital & the kids walked around, I got the feeling back in my legs & onwards we went. I can't find the pictures of the capital for some odd reason.
So we headed out on RT2/ 215 towards Marshfield, what a nice scenic area.
There was a neat country store either in Marshfield or close by that we stopped & gas upped. The kids decided to get some snacks while we were here too.

Hi, is this the only loss of points? are there any other deductions at all at the end of a reggata because of a failure of a task?
Thank you ������
Yep, no penalties/deductions other than scoring zero points for it and being unable to replace it with another.
does any one know weather i will loose anything by sending an empty aircraft?
Also, there is an achievement, Reliable Wings, for sending full airplanes one after another. There are 4 levels to that achievement and each rewards some T-cash. If you send an empty or partially full airplane, you will break the streak and will start counting at 1 again. If you've already finished the achievement this should not be a concern.
thank you cdosr, it was a satisfactory answer, so detailed, thanks again
Forever living in hope lol

Emergency road repair work to force partial road closure in Hanover
Crews to begin stabilizing failing slope damaged by recent storms
Emergency road repair work will force a partial road closure in Hanover for an extend period of time.
Howard County's Department of Public Works will begin emergency road repair work Thursday that will partially close Race Road for an extended period of time.
Officials said the closure from Park Circle Drive to Hanover Road begins at 10 a.m. is necessary to stabilize a failing slope supporting the roadway that has been damaged by the direct stream impact of Deep Run and recent heavy storms.
Road closure signs and barriers will be placed at both ends of the closure. Traffic will be diverted around this portion of Race Road using Hanover Road, Hi Tech Road and Coca-Cola Drive.
A detour map is available online. Local and emergency vehicle access will be permitted, officials said.
Engineering work to design the project and obtain emergency concurrence from the Maryland Department of Environment and Department of Natural Resources has begun.
Officials estimate the road closure to last eight to 12 weeks.
