Second Class at Upright Citizens Brigade
Second class at UCBT imrpov 101 class with Shannon. Love it!
A quick rundown of exercises we did, mostly listed here to remind myself for later:
Getting people's names down- a quick game of yes, and… where we take a place after we remember a name.
Knife throwing game, where we pretend to throw a knife at each other (and catch it.)
Then two knives
The one knife becomes an egg.
These games were crazy. Nerve wracking. We were all a mess after throwing two knives around.
Ad Executive Game. 4 of us get on chairs. The audience feeds us a crazy bogus product and we gotta sell the shit out of it! Our product was a tampon/umbrella called the Flying Rod. Go figure. Fun.
Then lots and lots of three line initiation/responses. Getting further along. We stop repeating, and let it just fly. Then we do initiation, and three different responses to it. Tough!
I slowed down, as I said I needed too, and did a lot better, though feel like I gave my fellow students some really shitty lines.
It's Skip's 40th birthday on Saturday!

We are watching and enjoying NYFW from rainy London right now and our favourite looks so far are the Lupita inspired look at Zac Posen, all the cool kids at Phillip Lim, bubble gum pleats at Honor, intricate panels at Monique Lhuillier and bold inspired print and geometrics from Carolina Herrera…and quite a few more. Angel Sanchez is incredible too but Dennis Basso is currently my standout favourite.
To keep up to date with all the runway action you can enjoy the front row experience through a live stream here. Fashion week always leaves a bunch of us inspired (and looking at images like these above it is no wonder why). For those of you who are thinking about trying to break into the fashion industry, check out this super inspiring post by Clare Sulmer of 'The Bomblife'. It is very informative and full of information and behind the scene images of her life and work in the fashion industry, helping you to assign a visual to the different scenarios she describes. I loved reading this fresh perspective. Great job @Clare!

With all the bad news and crisis situations in the news, believers need to pause and reflect on the truth that we are being made ready for a heavenly kingdom that will have no end. All of our troubles and struggles are working out a divine heritage for us as joint heirs with Jesus Christ. This world is not our end. It has no power to defeat a true child of God. What God allows, he does so for an eternal purpose. We are being molded and shaped into the image of Christ. We are being trained to be royalty. Most importantly, our light and momentary troubles are working out a far greater good.
Because of God's amazing grace, we just need to surrender up all that we have to get all that he has to give us. The price has been paid by Christ at the cross. We have been forgiven and set free from the bondages of sin. We no longer are under the curse of the law. We are under grace! How sweet the sound.
Take time to listen to this rendition of Amazing Grace done by Celtic Woman. Let the hope of this message give you the strength that you need to continue in the race no matter what you have to endure. Christ is getting ready to come for us. Let us fight the good fight; let us finish the race; let us keep the faith. We are the redeemed of Christ!
This world is perishing but you don't have to. To those who want to know more about salvation through Christ alone, please feel free to contact me or anyone on this site. We will be happy to walk you through the good news of being saved by grace through faith that is in God's word. It will be the best decision you will ever make.

SIRREX replied to SIRREX's topic in General Vehicle DiscussionWhat Kent did around ten years ago was pretty cool, 10sec 1/4 with a stockish turbo and plenty of nos is no easy feat. It's also not everyday a Subaru runs a 10sec quarter or even an 11 with the amount of supposed 300+kw Subaru's out there these days. There would be less than ten Subaru's in nz to have gone 10sec or faster. We are pretty proud of what the car has achieved so far and look forward to going quicker. Cheers Matt.

Thanks heaps for the wiring diagram with ecu pinouts, just got the car running. Had to swap two wires around between the test mode connector and ignition swith. Your a lifesaver.
I know that the v7 wrx loom I'm using came out a car running avcs. 99% of v7's i come across at my work have avcs. All jdm v7 wrx and sti have avcs it's only the singapore/ Australian spec v7's that don't have avcs. There are a few pins that I don't know where they go and my wiring diagrams don't help me . One that is confusing me is b137 12 on my v7 sti it has 5.8v going into the ecu from my research on forums it says this is from the alternator but none of wiring diagrams can confirm this. Tomorrow I will be checking the inputs on another v7 sti just to compare.
It cranks over with starter motor, I've hard wired the fuel pump for now so it runs with the ignition on but has no spark, coils have power and earth with continuity for the trigger going back to the ecu, injectors have 12v supply.haven't checked for injector pulse yet. The car is not mine it's a weekend job I'm doing and the link g4 is a v7-v9 plug in out of my personal car.
Yeah it's running a v7 sti engine and gearbox with a v7 wrx loom. I stripped the v7 loom back so I'm only using the wiring from the engine to the ecu and removed the v2 stira engine to ecu wiring and merged the v2 stira body loom to the v7 wrx engine loom.
Help with v7 sti wiring into v2 stira
SIRREX posted a topic in ElectricalI've been doing a wiring swap on a v2 sti ra and I'm having trouble getting it running on the stock ecu, funny thing is when I plug in my g4 link with a stock base map she fires up and runs mint. Any help would be much appreciated and open to ideas. I believe I have a wire missing for an input to the ecu or out of shear bad luck I'm using a loom designed to run an immobiliser.
EJ207 Block + EJ20R heads
SIRREX replied to ReubenH's topic in Engine RelatedI'd say you would be roughly 8.4:1 with the v7 sti head gasket and 7.8:1 with the v3-v4 sti head gasket. Try and find a 1mm head gasket to get you right about 8:1
auto/manual block differences
SIRREX replied to jdmv4's topic in Engine RelatedBlocks are the same, manuals came with a oil heat exchanger, autos don't. Auto's have a large slot in the oil ring groove of the piston for the oil to drain to the inside of the piston and manuals have about four holes.

CEBUANO designer Neil Felipp San Pedro said he is wiling to work with the Department of Tourism (DOT) to open up his showroom to tourists visiting Cebu.
This is in response to DOT Secretary Bernadette Puyat's call on Cebuano designers and exporters to make their showrooms become part of the travel itineraries of tourists.
San Pedro's collection of minaudière instantly became a global hit after his pieces were used in the Crazy Rich Asians film last year. A minaudière is a women's fashion accessory also known as a box clutch, a substitute for an evening bag.
"I am open to open up my showroom to tourists who come to the Philippines. Not only that, we also want to inspire the next generation of designers," said San Pedro.
But San Pedro said he will still have to make the studio look better before he starts welcoming tourists.
Showrooms as a destination
"The studio right now, is still under renovation and with the orders we have now, it's a bit messy. But yes it's possible," said San Pedro.
Opening up showrooms, according to Puyat, is a good marketing strategy to boost arrivals to the country. She said that showrooms do not just lure tourists to buy products, but also market the country's rich story on people and culture.
"We want other showrooms to open because tourists would love to visit them," said Puyat adding that the county's export-quality products speak volume of Cebu's excellent craftsmanship.
She said Cebu could be the lead-province in making showrooms as a tourist attraction as more Cebuanos rise in the global spotlight in the field of food and creative sectors.
"Tourists would love to know the story of every export product we make," she said.
Puyat lauded San Pedro's success in bringing the Filipino's creativity and craftsmanship to the global arena.
One-day pop-up boutique
San Pedro is mounting a one-day pop-up boutique on March 23 at the Bamboo Room of Oakridge Executive Lounge on A.S Fortuna St. from 10 a.m to 6 p.m.
According to San Pedro, since the showcase of his pieces in the Crazy Rich Asian film, buyers not just in Asia but also in other countries have become interested in his collection.
Even in the local scene, San Pedro said his minaudières were well accepted by Cebuanos with many of them prefer to own a piece which design is only theirs despite paying a premium price.
"They really want one for themselves and they don't mind the premium fee. Internationally, we noticed that the buyers are mostly collectors," he said.
San Pedro said his team is also working with communities in the Philippines where he sources his raw materials. He said it is about high time to further lift the "Made in Cebu" and "Made in the Philippines" flag in the global stage.
"We are already a global brand. In fact, a lot of creatives here are vying for Cebu to become a Unesco 'Creative City of Design'," said San Pedro.
A piece of San Pedro's minaudière costs at least P36,00 depending on the design and the intricacies that come with it.
This young designer is also exploring the creation of fine jewelries which he will launch soon. (KOC)

I give lessons to student sin Primary Secondary and doing GCSE. I would first and most importantly build a relationship with my students and help them understand and acknowledge their strengths. On the other hand, figure out ways to manipulate through the weaknesses in order to tackle all sectors.
I prefer a more interactive session to an authoritative session as you can learn a lot from listening. I have too been through all the stages I shall be tutoring and shall not undermine the challenges that come with each stage.
I am new to giving lessons, however, I have commendable interest and expertise in Maths and physics. These have been my strongest elements throughout my primary and secondary education.
I work well with people of all personalities and characteristics, therefore, choosing to tutor.

Ranting is the act where somebody writes/speaks in an angry matter. A person who rants is usually called a ranter.
In Downfall Parodies
See also: Parody Catchphrases
This is a common gag in the Hitler Parodies. Ranting is commonly caused by Fegelein's antics, which angers the subjects, particularly Hitler, who is, arguably, the best ranter in the Parodies. However, there are other good ranters, like Burgdorf, who rants in a rather fast manner, and Goebbels. Other known ranters are Fegelein, Jodl, Keitel, and Weidling.
The most famous examples of ranting used in parodies are the Original Bunker and Hitler Reviews Scenes.
There's an annual competition where the Bunker occupants test their ranting skills, called the Rant Off held at the end of every year.
Goebbels even has a weapon called the Pencil of rantmaggedon that causes people to rant.
It is estimated that Hitler's rants can sound up to 100 decibels.
Grunting can also be heard spontaneously in the film. This is considered to be a synonym for ranting.
Famous ranters
The Hitler's generals discusses and Burgdorf gets angry scene alone saw Goebbels and three of the latter ranting one after the other.
- Muammar al-Gaddafi
- Nicolae Ceaușescu
- Kit Kittredge
- Nikita Khrushchev
- Juan Miranda
- Benito Mussolini
- Samantha Parkington
- Joseph Stalin
- Inglourious Hitler
Notable Downfall Scenes featuring heavy ranting
- Hitler Phone Scene: Hitler rants to Koller about the uselessness of the Luftwaffe
- Hitler Planning Scene : Hitler rants at Jodl for objecting to his plans
- Hitler's Generals Discussing Scene: Burgdorf is angry towards Fegelein for being an opportunist
- Original Bunker Scene: The basis for the whole Hitler Rants meme and resulting parody universe. For those who don't know: In this scene, Hitler rants at his generals after realizing he lost the war and blames this loss on the generals.
- Bormann informs Hitler: Hitler rants about Görings betrayal when the latter tries to assume power over the Reich
- Hitler Eating Scene: Hitler rants about Himmler's betrayal and attempts to become the leader of Fourth Reich.
- Hitler, Grawitz and Günsche: The source for the famous FEGELEIN FEGELEIN FEGELEIN rant. In this scene, Hitler rants to Günsche about Fegelein deserting him by leaving the bunker.
- Generals discuss and Burgdorf gets angry: Features a record number of people ranting at the same place and time i.e. Weidling, Goebbels, Krebs and Burgdorf.
- Goebbels Rants Scene: Guess who... (Goebbels rants to the generals about not wanting to surrender to the Soviets.)

The music and attitude of Canned Heat afforded them a large following and established the band as one of the popular acts of the hippie era. Canned Heat appeared at most major musical events at the end of the 1960s, performing both blues standards and their own material, with, occasionally, lengthier 'psychedelic' solos. Two of their songs – "Going Up the Country" and "On the Road Again" – became international hits. "Going Up the Country" was a remake of the Henry Thomas song "Bull Doze Blues" recorded in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1927. "On the Road Again" was a cover version/re-working of the 1953 Floyd Jones song of the same name, which is reportedly based on the Tommy Johnson song "Big Road Blues" recorded in 1928. (Read more at Wikipedia)
Links to PeelCanned Heat came out of the Los Angeles music scene of the mid-1960s and began to build a reputation as a live band in 1966-67. It is not known if Peel saw them during his time as a DJ in San Bernardino, when he attended many gigs at clubs on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, but he did obtain a copy of the band's first album, issued in summer 1967, and played tracks from it on his Perfumed Garden show on Radio London. A favourite track was "Rollin' and Tumblin'", a live performance of which was featured in D.A. Pennebaker's film documentary of the famous 1967 festival, Monterey Pop.
While Canned Heat's US fame was boosted by their Monterey appearance, their popularity in Britain and Europe was aided by track plays on Peel's shows, leading to commercial success for both the band's second LP, Boogie With Canned Heat, and the single "On The Road Again", which became a surprise Top Ten hit in the UK. The band's combination of basic blues with occasional psychedelic influences was very much to Peel's taste, and they were the only American white blues band to enjoy success during the late 1960s British blues boom. They visited Britain for live gigs and TV appearances but, like most other US bands of the era, never did a session for Top Gear. In 1970 they performed at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music, which Peel attended. He also introduced them at the Great Western Express festival at White City and the Buxton Pop Festival in 1973, and continued to play their records until the band began to fall apart in the mid-1970s.
One of Canned Heat's founder members, Alan (or Al,"Blind Owl") Wilson, died in 1970 of an overdose of barbiturates, an event which has been seen as the beginning of Canned Heat's commercial and artistic decline. Wilson was a shy, scholarly figure who struck some observers as being out of place in a raucous blues and boogie band like Canned Heat. Yet as well as singing lead on two of their biggest hits, "Going Up the Country" and "On the Road Again", Wilson was closely associated with another blues scholar and Peel favourite John Fahey. He played the Indian veena on Fahey's "Sail Away Ladies", a track which featured in the Peelenium, and also wrote (under a pseudonym) the extremely long and humorous sleevenotes for Fahey's LP The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death, one of Peel's favourite albums of 1968. Al Wilson also played a major role in the rediscovery of Son House, not only tracking down the forgotten bluesman but aiding his return to recording and performing by re-acquainting him with songs and guitar parts he had not played for decades. According to the biography page of the official Canned Heat website, the band had a night off in London during their 1970 tour of Europe, and Wilson took the opportunity to go to Son House's performance at the 100 Club and sat in with him on a couple of songs. This gig, on 30 June 1970, may have been the one where Peel expressed his annoyance with inattentive members of the audience.

I see realtors spend money to buy seller leads all the time.
Why spend money on leads when you can get them for almost nothing?
Facebook is great for buyer leads or normal seller leads. But you need to be utilizing the source of unlimited leads just for a monthly fee.
Here's how I do that.
I dig a little bit deeper and find the people that are interested in selling their house.
You can get hundreds of great seller leads from the Redx – for almost nothing.
I pull thousands of old expireds from the MLS and Redx does ALL the work to research them for me.
First, they check to make sure the properties haven't been re-listed or sold. And then they research ALL the owner's contact info – including cell phone numbers.
Expired and FSBO leads are the most important cold leads you can prospect.
The best agents depend on a steady flow of expired leads. Paying for Facebook ads or ads in other places works, but by no means is it the most cost-effective leads.
Sign up for Redx. All you have to pay is a monthly fee and it has the different types of leads already laid out for you.
You can go back three to six months into your MLS and pull up houses that expired then, upload that data into the REDX and then they will do all the research.
Redx checks to see if the house has been relisted. It checks to see if the house has been sold and if a house sale pending.
Then once they've checked all the data to make sure it's good, it will research all the phone numbers for you, including cell phone numbers. It's basically everything you need.
It's big to have people's cell phone numbers, so when you call they answer and you can get the listing.
Here's what else is great. You can go back three month, six months, even 12 months back in your MLS, download the data yourself as a CSV or as an ASCI file and upload that information into the REDX and they do all the work to research it for you.
I've gotten a lot of listings from old expireds like this. You can also go back a year, two years, three years, even as much as four years back into your MLS and pull up expireds from four years ago. It makes sure they haven't sold and they're not active.
You will have little competition for these listings.
You know how on new expireds they get barraged with hundreds of phone calls as soon as their house expires? With these old leads, they're not getting barraged.
In fact, you're often the only agent contacting them about listing their house. So find all the old expireds. Hack the REDX to get the listing. Once you get those leads, you can use the smart agent system to convert those leads into listings.
What if you are in a red hot market?
Let's imagine, you're in a market that's so hot, so absolutely hot that there are no expireds.
But take into account what I just told you. There are actually thousands (potentially tens of thousands) of expireds hidden right below the surface.
Here's an example of how you can list old expireds and how you can make a lot of money off of them as a result.
I remember when I first started listing houses. I was 20 years old – selling real estate in Gainesville, Florida.
I had worked as a buyer's agent for about a year and decided I wanted to get into listings. There were some new expireds.
I worked those leads. But I also started working what the old expireds. I found one that had expired about a year previously and contacted the sellers.
I put their house on the market for $229,900. It sold for $296,000 in ten days. I made an 8,800 dollar commission in 45 days.
Everything went so smoothly.I had some major disadvantages:
- I was only 20 years old.
- I was extremely green at listings.
- I didn't have a great listing presentation.
- I wasn't tremendously confident.
- I didn't have superstar sales skills.
Despite all that, I got that listing because I was the only Realtor knocking on their door.
I had no competition because all the other Realtors were focused on the new expireds.
So, if you're in a red hot market, start with the homes that expired three to six months ago. Then, works the listings that expired six to twelve months.
Once you're done with them, you can start working the older leads. Even the Expireds that are 3-4 years old are good leads.
Do you remember the last time the housing market crashed?
The market crash really affected our business. Florida crashed, and it crashed hard.
You could say crashed and burned.
Wouldn't you like to avoid the pain the next time it potentially happens?
Get really good at working the expireds.
If you're good with the expireds, they can become your "bread and butter."
You can make a ton of money by working the expireds and cherry picking only the sellers that are motivated.
I know here in Jacksonville, the market crashed hard during the bust of 2009 and 2010.
However, if you look at the numbers, right now we have about 10,500 resales every six months here in the Jacksonville Area.
When the market crashed, that number dropped quite dramatically. It dropped to around 3,500 sales every six months. That's a drop of more than half.
But, notice it didn't drop to zero. (Even though it felt like it.) Here's something else that interesting.
When the market slows down, the number of realtors also drops, as well. Tons and tons of people drop out of the business. They go and get a job.
They become demoralized and just quit. You can grow your market share.
A good, hard working, aggressive realtor will actually grow during a market slowdown.
Expireds are the key.
So, if you're concerned about a market slowdown in the future, focus on the expireds.
Become excellent at working the expireds and your business will thrive and prosper during the coming market slowdown.

A riveting Hitchcockian thriller from the screenwriter of THE CROW.
Elias McCabe is having one hell of a night: He gets kidnapped at gunpoint by a professional hit man and is forced to shoot blackmail photos of a prominent politician. Things go wrong with the shoot… very wrong. When the night is over, Elias is scared to death … and ten thousand dollars richer.
If he keeps his mouth shut.
But he doesn't — and now the hit man has targeted him for payback.
As a desperate amateur in the games of death, Elias is up against a seasoned pro. As his entire life slides into the abyss, he has to stay alive by inventing new ways, moment-by-moment, to avoid, misdirect, and finally confront his ever-more-determined murderer as corpses and collateral damage stack up coast-to-coast in their wake.
I had just wrapped up having sex with my best friend's ex-wife, after shooting naked pictures of her, when I heard a slight entry noise from the elevator end of the loft, and looked up into the face of a man...

मुस्लिम लड़की ने तीन तलाक के विरोध में किया ऐसा काम जानकर करेंगे दिल से ...
Muslim women have been being tortured in the name of three divorces and halala from the beginning, even though the central government had passed a bill in parliament, under which three divorces were declared non-bailable. In spite of this, three such incidents like divorce are not known to be low because because if the Muslim women try to go to court against three divorces, their voice is suppressed. Today we are going to tell you a case related to a divorce,
The matter that we are going to tell you today is of the Phalodi region of Rajasthan's Jodhpur district, where Muslims live in a large number. According to the information received, Muslim women of the said area have been very much educated, but despite this, they were also being treated as three divorced convicts continuously. The women of that time tried to go to court to avoid this, but they were beaten and imprisoned only at home.
In the Muslim family, a girl girl had already seen such a horrific act as three divorces around her and in such a way she thought of presenting an example for women. According to the information received, the girl decided to marry Hindu customs with the Hindu boy. The Muslim girl did this just because she could raise her voice against the oppression of Muslim women in their society. Though the women of the family are happy with this decision of the girl, but the panchayat is very angry with the girl's decision.
The idea that the Muslim girl has taken in opposition to the three divorces that you think is right, tell your thoughts to the comments box.

Research summary
When two events have a causal relationship (i.e. one causes the other), the interval between them seems shorter than that between two events that do not have a causal relationship. This is known as 'causal binding', or alternatively 'temporal binding'. It is thought that this effect is a general distortion in our perception of time, whereby time appears to speed up in the interval between the two events that have a causal relationship. My aim is to uncover the mechanism behind this effect and to place the phenomenon more directly into the established time perception literature.
Teaching summary
2013 to present: Year 1 practical tutor. My role is to run tutorials for year 1 undergraduates on practical report writing and statistics, as well as marking their practical reports.
Research interests
Research topics and related papers
The purpose of causal binding is thought to be as a way of making it easier to learn the causal relationships between events that we encounter by making them appear to be bound closer together in time. It is entirely plausible, therefore, that during a causal relationship we devote more attentional resources to the environment (to facilitate the learning processes), leaving fewer attentional resources to focus on the passage of time.
How attention relates to the perception of time has been studied extensively. The general findings are that the more attention that is paid to the passage of time, the slower time seems to go and the less attention that is paid to time, the faster time seems to go (Brown, 1985). This has often been explained by incorporating attention into the most commonly used internal clock model, the SET model (e.g. Gibbon, 1984). This model proposes that there is a pacemaker-accumulator model of time perception, whereby there are pulses released by the pacemaker which are then counted in the accumulator. Between these the pacemaker and the accumulator is a switch which closes to complete the circuit and allow pulses through, or opens to stop pulses passing through. The number of pulses counted directly corresponds to the length of a perceived duration. There are a number of factors that can influence the actions of the model, such as the speed of the pacemaker, the actions of the switch, and the amount of error in the counter. Attention is thought to influence time perceptions via its effect on the action of the switch. The more attention that is paid to time, the more the switch is closed (and/or the shorter the latency in the closing of the switch) and thus the more pulses are allowed to reach the accumulator leading to longer perceived durations. Conversely, the less attention that is paid to the passage of time (and/or the longer the latency in the closing of the switch), the fewer pulses are allowed to reach the accumulator leading to shorter perceived durations.
A standard causal binding task includes two conditions: causal and non-causal. In the causal condition, the participant presses a key which is then followed by a tone after a short delay. In the non-causal condition, a click is played followed by the same tone after the same short delay. The participant's task is then to press a second key in time with the tone. Since time is speeded up in the causal condition in comparison to the non-causal condition, participants will anticipate the tone as occurring earlier than it actually does. This leads them to press the key before the tone is played. In contrast, they will press the key later in the non-causal condition.
In my current research, in order to uncover if changes in attention are the process by which causal binding occurs, I aim to directly assess attentional processes during a causal binding task, using two different methods. The first will be a behavioural task. I will expect participants to perform better in a secondary attentional task in the causal than in the non-causal condition since, if they divert attention away from time and towards the environment, they will have more attentional resources available with which to perform the attentional task. The second will be pupillometry. Pupillometry is used as a measure of attention, with the general finding being that the more attentional processes that are being used in a task, the more the pupils dilate. Therefore, I will expect to see increased pupil dilation in the causal condition compared to the non-causal condition.

Getting Closer to smaller living: Stage 1.7 - Ventilation
Now If you think about this, you don't need a LOT of fans. one in the bathroom and placing the kitchen outside the bathroom will take care of moisture and smells. The problem with kitchen cooking is having a real vent hood that will take smoke out and handle the high heat of cooking. This is where a RV store will come in handy. I strongly suggest getting a steel or stainless RV stove vent hood and fan and putting it in your kitchen. over the stove is best, but if you are only going to have a hot plate, then where you will cook with the hot plate is a good idea. Yes it takes precious space, but if you have a kitchen mishap, it's nice to be able to draw all the smoke out fast and not worry about the vent hood.
Consider a hot summer day, if you fired up the loft vent fan and opened the windows in the house on the opposite side of the loft ladder, you will have a constant breeze coming in of cooler air. from the windows.
but let's get clever. if we had controlled vents UNDER the house that drew air from near the ground outside, we would draw in even cooler air into the home. This is why a lot of old homes had basement windows. you open the upstairs attic windows, open the doors to the attic and basement and then open the basement windows. Hot air leaves the roof while drawing in the coolest air from near the ground. You can cool a house significantly this way. It will feel cooler than what it feels like outside. Even cooler if you are in a shaded area and are pulling air from a shaded grassy area.
Problem is you will need air filters to keep dust from coming in the house, just cut some filter material and stick it over the vent holes or roll up some and stuff it in the pipe. check it and clean it often, every couple of months, just like your home furnace filter.

The majority of learner drivers in Swindon are passing their driving test on the first attempt according to the latest figures.
52 percent of would-be motorists passed their practical test at Swindon Test Centre on the first try in 2018-19 according to data from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.
The average first-time pass rate for centres across Great Britain is 47 percent.
Of the 2,106 people successful on the first try in Swindon test centre, 90 pupils had zero faults.
Overall, the centre conducted 7,921 tests between April 2018 and March this year.
Men performed strongest with 55 percent passing compared to 47 percent of women.
Learners taking the test can pass with up to 15 minor faults, which include not checking mirrors.
Under government plans to improve road safety, new drivers could be banned from travelling at night.
The rules, announced by the Department for Transport, restrict what motorists can do on the roads months after passing their test.
The move follows statistics showing one in five new drivers are involved in crashes within their first year behind the wheel.
Joshua Harris, director of road safety charity Brake, said: "Young drivers are involved in nearly a fifth of all fatal crashes on our roads, a deeply troubling figure hugely disproportionate to the number of young licence holders."
More robust licensing would give them the "necessary tools and knowledge" to drive safely, he added.
Speaking earlier this year, former road safety minister Michael Ellis said: "We have some of the safest roads in the world but we are always looking at ways to make them safer.
"Getting a driving licence is exciting for young people, but it can also be daunting as you're allowed to drive on your own for the first time.
"We want to explore in greater detail how graduated driver licensing, or aspects of it, can help new drivers to stay safe and reduce the number of people killed or injured on our roads."

About Me
At the age of 4 I got my first three wheels bicycle from my parents. At that time I could not know that it was just the beginning of a life time experience. I have a very clear image of me riding on my childhood bicycles in these early days of mine.
At the age of 40, my wife bought me a special birthday present: a brand new diamondback bicycle. This marked the 2'nd cycling chapter. I've started to ride different types of mountain bikes on a regular basis, near my home and abroad, in many bicycling tours around the world.
Three years ago – The third and current bicycling love affair of mine has started three years ago, when I've started my first web site about Bicycles and Bicycling.
Many things have changed along these years. In October 2010, I took part in a gorgeous bike riding trip along the Rhine River in Germany, France and Switzerland. We were two bikers on our first, yet short bicycle touring trip, exploring the beauty of the Rhine valley, as well as ourselves and our passion to bicycling.
On May 2015, two of my best friends and I came back from another great trip: a bicycle trip in Japan. You are invited to read more about our 450Km ride from Takayama to Kyoto.
Why do I Write About Bicycle Storage Ideas?
Finding the right bicycle storage solution is important. The condition of your bicycle is important to you. Protect it against weather conditions, such as harsh sun, rain and snow. Keep it in a covered space so that the handlebars, chain and other sensitive parts don't rust and/or get dirty.
As cyclist who has its own bicycle storage needs, I've created this website to help anyone who would like to find the best storage device or solution to meet his/her needs. I hope that you will find the information in this site helpful!
About Me & Bicycles and Bicycling Websites
My official education is electrical engineer, with years of experience in software development. In the last 10 years I am developing software for GPS navigation. Over the years, I had some ideas of how to put my creation in the market. The last one was to build a web site that will help me in the mission.
Me and SBI
I have a neighbor and a dear friend, Elad Shippony. For several years, Elad told me inspiring stories about SBI (Site Build It), about working from home, the freedom it offers and as a way to make my dreams come true. Elad Shippony is a major SBI story. Some of Elad's inspiring web sites are in the SBI results list.
But until the end of 2009, I had neither the time, energy, nor courage to make my dream come true: creating my own web site, my own business, and beginning my journey towards the goal of working from home. Elad suggested I use SBI for building my web site for the purpose of selling my software. This is how I was exposed to the wonderful world of SBI.
As you can see, this site is not about GPS software. It is about me and about my main hobby, bicycle riding. My GPS software site is still waiting for me. But I have found so much joy in building www.american-vintage-bicycles.com , that I am willing to put my other dream aside, at least for now.
Moving on to WordPress
SBI is the perfect platform for anyone who is just new to creating websites, or for anyone who don't need Dynamic websites. It has a great Action Guide, as well as superb support. It will take you by hand and guide you through the process of creating great "do it yourself" websites, but – it is very limited.
From the other hand, WordPress is leading CMS (Content Management System) in the word. It is based on PHP scripting language, as well on the Open Source phpMySQL server. As I became more experienced in creating websites, I feel that I am ready to move on to a more advanced (and challenging) platform, and I am so happy with this move! Actually I have intention to assist other SBI'rs who is thinking about moving their SBI websites to WordPress.
My Other Websites
I have several websites. Most of them are about Bicycles and Bicycling. Take a look:
- bicycle-riding.com – Visit this web site and explore the wonderful world of bicycle riding: Different types of riding styles, bicycles, equipment, clothes, as well as many of my trips and more.

It's been a while, dear readers. I freely admit that I've neglected this blog for the past couple of weeks, and my only excuse is that I needed a break. Whenever Knight Reader feels more like an obligation than a fun hobby, I like to take a step back and spend some time focusing on other things. Yes, I still read during my brief hiatus, but I didn't feel the need to blog about those books (mostly picture books and mindless romances). Also, I'm gearing up for a new school year, and I needed to just do nothing before I dive back into the school library grind. (My fellow school librarians can no doubt relate to how hectic the beginning of a new school year is.) Now, feeling a bit refreshed, I'm ready to get back to sharing books with people. Thanks for bearing with me.
I never know what I'm going to get when I download free ebooks. Sometimes, these free books are less than stellar. Other times, though, I'm pleasantly surprised. The latter scenario was true of my latest read, Slide by Jill Hathaway. It was a free Kindle download last month, it seemed interesting, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a pretty good read, and it definitely kept me guessing. Readers who like a fast-paced mystery with supernatural undertones will likely agree.
Sylvia "Vee" Bell is not what one would call a normal teenager. Sure, she has many of the typical problems–parents, popularity (or lack thereof), siblings, boys–but she has to deal with something that most people don't. The "experts" call her condition narcolepsy, but they really don't know the whole story. They don't know that when Vee falls asleep/passes out, she doesn't just lose consciousness. She "slides" into the minds of others. She sees what people don't want seen. She learns things she doesn't necessarily want to know.
When Vee slides into one mind, however, she sees something that turns her blood cold. She sees her sister's best friend, Sophie, dead. Her wrists are slit, her bed is covered in blood, and someone–the eyes through which Vee is viewing this scene–is writing a suicide note. Vee, of course, is the only person who knows that Sophie was murdered, but how can she prove to everyone that this is not the obvious suicide that they seem to think it is…especially when she doesn't know whose mind she slid into.
As Vee searches for answers, she uncovers uncomfortable truths about her friends, her sister, and even her own father. But how do these long-kept secrets have anything to do with what happened to Sophie…and what is continuing to happen in Vee's community? Who is ultimately responsible for the terror in her town, and is there anything Vee can do to put a stop to it…before she's the next victim? Unravel the mystery when you read Slide by Jill Hathaway.
While Slide was an engaging, gripping book, it's not one I would have picked up had it not been free. (Kudos to whoever decided to make it a free download last month. You reached at least one new reader.) Now, I kind of want to see how the story progresses in the next book, Impostor. Maybe it'll be a free download soon.
Slide is not a particularly deep book, but it does explore family dynamics and how secrets and jealousy can tear relationships apart. It is a mystery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. (I'm pretty good at picking up on clues, but even I didn't really expect things to end they way they did.)
If the premise of Slide intrigues you, I urge you to give Lisa McMann's Wake series a try. These three books (Wake, Fade, and Gone) are very similar, in my opinion, to what occurs in Slide, but they're a little more fleshed out.

Emperor's View is a two-bedroom mountain home with a terraced deck leading to a beautiful, wraparound balcony — the view from the upper level is out of this world! This home is open, modern and spacious, with a light, calming color scheme, luxurious carpets and tall skylights that fill the rooms with a cheerful natural glow.
The main story features a great room with two cream leather sofas, a large flat-screen TV and a wood-burning fireplace. Connecting to the sitting area by an open L-shaped floorplan is the dining room, with a sculptural glass-and-stone table set for four, and a full kitchen, equipped with dishes, cookware, utensils and appliances.
Sleeping arrangements: Both bedrooms at Emperor's View serve as a master suite with king-sized beds, in-room whirlpool tubs, gas fireplaces and private-access bathrooms.
Emperor's View boasts a number of unique guest amenities, including two indoor whirlpool tubs, a pool table, an outdoor hot tub, a two-level deck (with lounge furniture, an outdoor table and dining chairs), a wraparound balcony with a clear view of Mt. LeConte, and a total of four fireplaces — one wood-burning, three gas-powered. There is also a lower-level recreation room with a pool table and a wet bar.
This mountain getaway is located just minutes away from the Ober Gatlinburg Ski Lodge and Amusement Park, where visitors can indulge their adventurous side with downhill skiing, a wildlife experience, a bird's eye tour from the Aerial Tramway, or a bone-rattling ride on the famous Mountain Coaster.
This Tennessee family rental home is also conveniently located near the South Baden Clubhouse, which guests can frequent during their stay for exercise and recreation in the tennis courts and indoor pool. Downtown Gatlinburg is a whirlwind of attractions, unique local shopping and great restaurants, offering everything from cavern tours, ziplining and whitewater rafting to mini golf, horseback riding and a huge collection of odd museums.

Gatlinburg is home to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park — where visitors can hike past hidden falls, explore historic cabins and fish the clear trout streams — as well as trendy attractions such as the HeadCase Escape Adventures or Gatlin's Escape Games.

2018 Great chalet. Great view. Would have liked to have a dresser in bedrooms for clothes that do not have to be hung up. Charles from Harrison, April 10
I always enjoy my experience with Chalet Village... We have stayed with then many times! Very easy and friendly service! We stayed at the Emperor's View Cabin and it was wonderful. There were only a few suggestions... It would be great to have a mini fridge in the downstairs level by the bar area, a mop would be helpful, and the pool table could use some repair on the rails. Otherwise wonderful accommodations. We will of course be back and plan to use Chalet Village again! Bryan from Dayton, March 25, 2018
Our visit was outstanding! Chalet was immaculate! Incredible view of the mountains! Dennis from Signal Mountain, Jan. 08, 2018

Choose a diamond for a wedding ring- essentials to know
Diamonds have now become essential for wedding rings. If you are getting married, you ought to spend so many bucks on getting your girl a diamond ring. We all know some days we can afford expensive stuff while some days we can't. So, for those who cannot afford the real diamond wedding rings can also count on the lab created diamond rings as they have the same physical and chemical properties just like that of the real diamonds.
When you go into the market, you see a lot of stuff to choose from. Same is the case with the diamond rings. There are so many amazing patterns that overwhelm you. In such situations, it becomes quite difficult for a person to choose the best diamond for their partner. That is why we are here with a step to step guide for you while you struggle with choosing a diamond ring for your wedding;
Identify the shape
Shape identification is the first and foremost step that you should consider while choosing a diamond ring. Not every ring is made to be yours. You got to find the best one which is the most unique of them all. You can always consider then princess cut or round-shaped diamonds because they are loved by all women.
Set the weight
You find diamonds in carats. It will totally be dependent upon you which weight you want to consider for your wedding. Your preferences count here. If you want a one-carat diamond, you can tell the goldsmith about what weight you would prefer.
Check the quality
As far as you can afford, you should make sure to buy the best quality diamonds. If you like a thing and you think it won't suit your budget, you can start conceding if it worked. If not, you have always a choice for more stuff. There are different ways to make concessions. Some are here below;
• You can lower down the clarity of the diamond.
• You can lower down the colour of the diamond
• You can lower the cut before you move on to other areas of concession
• Shave some carats off. If you shave off 10% of the carat weight, it would hardly be visible. So, you can always go with that.
Choose a diamond might seem easy at the start but when you go out and search for the best diamond, you start feeling confused so much. There is so much of variety that makes us all go crazy at times. Although we have the internet to choose easily when it comes to you, you want the perfect thing and that's sometimes hard to find. Another reason is diamonds are always so beautiful that you can't decide which one to choose.
If you are also facing such conditions, do not worry because you will eventually get the diamond that is meant to be yours. You will find it no matter what.
Are you having budget problems?
If that's how you feel, there is nothing to worry about. We all know how mandatory has it been made for the people to buy the diamond rings for their loved ones. It is although not that necessary if you want to make your spouse be as happy as ever, you got to put in some efforts. You can try concessions or compromise on colour and clarity., this would make the price of the diamond bearable for you and you would be able to enjoy your wedding day like anyone else. Also, you can count on the lab-made diamond jewellery as well. It will look just like that of the real diamond and you will not even have to compromise on the rates. It is not just easy to the pocket but is also as beautiful as the real ones. If you think you cannot make it to the real diamonds, go for the synthetic ones. Going out of the day for diamonds is not away when you know you cannot afford it and it will make problems for you in the long run. Your happiness is important and that you can get even with an artificial ring. So, do not standardize your preferences.
Your happiness matters
If you think that your spouse will be happy with you no matter what, you should do everything possible to make her happy. A lot of people start asking for loans when it comes to their wedding rings just because they cannot afford too much money to spend on diamonds. People need to stop it because happiness in you is what matters the most. The rings will come and go but the love you have for your partner will stay forever. So, work on that and not on materialistic stuff. Love.

Banking startups, like Affirm and Earnest, use artificial intelligence (AI) and big data to accurately predict a borrower's ability to repay a loan - even if they have little or no credit history. By instantly analyzing a huge swath of information – from the applicant's transaction history to the details of their social networks — these startups can identify and extend fair credit to a wider base of qualified borrowers.
While now scrappy startups, these types of lenders are growing quickly and can't be ignored. Affirm has already issued more than a million loans, and Earnest is taking on big ticket items, like student loan refinancing. They're becoming the new normal. And the reason they're succeeding is simple: big data underwriting lets them quickly extend fair credit to the qualified borrowers that traditional banks turn away.
AI-backed lending will broaden the market substantially by issuing home loans to people who aren't in the credit system or don't have access to credit. Whether they haven't had the opportunity to build up good credit or have had a blemished credit score but have since demonstrated good financial habits, banking startups will be able to look beyond this and accurately assess the risk of lending to these borrowers.
People whose credit rating made it difficult for them to secure a student loan, purchase a car, or even buy furniture will now find themselves on the path to homeownership. Their needs and expectations will be different than those of buyers who spent years planning and preparing to be part of the market.
It's hard to tell exactly how this shakeup will affect the real estate market—there's absolutely no precedent for this. But one thing's for sure: real estate agents will have to adapt. The sales strategies that feel tried-and-true now will soon be as outdated as 75-minute listing presentations, and agents who don't see the change coming won't be able to capture this new, sizeable market.

Campaigning is not succeeding. It's asking for success, and for power. To campaign is to publicly claim that you are better than the others (usually white men) who want the same job, and that a whole lot of people should work to place you in a more powerful position. In other words, campaigning is a transgressive act for women.
Women often find self-promotion difficult even outside the realm of politics. For example, a 2011 study found that men are four times more likely to ask for raises than their female co-workers. Women are much more likely than men to under-estimate their abilities. When they apply for jobs, they often refuse to even submit a resume unless they're certain they have 100% of the requisite qualifications. (The qualification threshold for men is only 60%. Think about that the next time you wonder why on Earth Donald Trump thinks he should be president–or, for that matter, when Bernie Sanders insists that his lack of foreign policy experience compared to Clinton's doesn't matter, because he has better "judgment.")Articles on women's workplace behavior are littered with tales of the "confidence gap" and "impostor syndrome"–that is, the recurring belief among high-achieving women that all of their achievements have been somehow accidental and are therefore undeserved. But the rare, lucky women who do manage to apply for higher-level jobs, advocate for fair wages, and feel good about themselves in the meantime may find that the "confidence gap" is less personal neurosis than sadly justified risk assessment. Women who put themselves forward in the same assertive, confident style as men are routinely found pushy, "bitchy," or unlikable, and professionally penalized for that, too.

Here's an excerpt from our Creative Loafing interview about Plant+Love:
"St. Petersburg's EDGE District just keeps on growing. The newest addition to the popular hub for both bites and beverages is an artist collective with vegan ice cream.
A soft opening for Plant+Love Ice Cream at 953 Central Ave. begins Friday, Jan. 18.
"The vegan community in St. Pete is thriving right now, and there aren't any vegan ice cream shops," says co-owner Matthew Matchin. "There are places that offer vegan ice cream options, but there isn't anywhere offering 100-percent vegan ice cream."
Last year, Matchin — along with his mother and co-owner, Joanne Matchin, and his friend and partner, Matthew Kurtyka — started Plant+Love as The Conscious Creamery. But the trio changed the shop's name a month later after discovering a San Diego gelato company had the same one.
"There was a conflict of interest, so we were still new enough to be able to change our name," Matthew Matchin says.
The name Plant+Love has a double meaning: love of plants (because vegan ice cream) and to plant love (as a philosophy).
An alternative to your average ice cream, Plant+Love's artisan scoops are made in-house with an organic coconut milk base. Fifty flavors — including lemon ginger, Divine Chocolate and a CBD-infused option — will rotate 10 at a time, giving guests the chance to regularly sample something different."
Interested in learning more about Plant+Love? Click here. They're having a soft opening this weekend at 11am at it's storefront at 953 Central Avenue. Have you ever tried vegan ice cream? Did you like it?

Croatia and the EU GotchaHow about that, my letter will be published in Ireland!!
Amazing!HildaFrom: Brian Mulcahy < email@example.com >To: firstname.lastname@example.com Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2005 Subject: Re: Croatia and the EU/GotchExcellent reply Hilda. Will appear in a short while on letters page undertitle 'Economist':http://www.cascarino.homestead.com/hf2.hml Regards,Brian.From: email@example.com: email@example.com: Mon, 4 Apr 2005 Subject: Croatia and the EU/GotchaDear Editor:Regarding your two articles of March 12, "Croatia and the EU,- "A GeneralProblem" and "Gotcha":The sheer idea of Gen. Gotovina being accused of "command responsibility"for his actions during the liberation of Croatia in 1995 even though henever gave any commands for deliberate destruction or the killing of some150 civilians, or for the "ethnic cleansing", when it is clearlydocumented that most of the Serb population left on orders of their ownleadership before the arrival of the Croatian army, is simply ludicrous.Especially when comparing it to the massacres and killing of tens ofthousands of civilians directly ordered by the Serb commanders Gen Mladicand their civilian leader Karadzic in Bosnia, as occurred among otherplaces in Srebrenica and the shelling of Sarajevo for three years. It isan outrage that such comparisons could be even made. One can only surmisethat it is the wish of the ICTY Prosecutor and some Western politiciansto pursue their policy of "all equally guilty" - the aggressor and thevictim, while deliberately ignoring that Croatia never set a foot on Serbsoil while everyone who followed the events of 1991-1995 would know whataggression was perpetrated against Croatia by the Serbs - from Serbiaproper with the Yugoslav army and from within Croatia by the Serbminority and paramilitary.While Croatia has extradited all but this one fugitive, who most likelyis not in Croatia, Serbia has still a number of the most importantindicted war criminals walking the streets in Belgrade or hidden by theSerb army, including Mladic and Karadzic. Considering the case ofBosnian Croat General Blaskic, who was falsely accused and because of itrecently released having served years in prison, it should not surpriseanyone that general Gotovina refuses to give himself up. He cannot beblind to the injustice and trumped up charges of a politicized Court. Sincerely,Hilda M. FoleyNational Federation of Croatian Americans13272 Orange KnollSanta Ana, CA 92705
