The Kitchenaid 7 cup food processor is the workhorse of the kitchen. This food processor comes with the tools a home chef needs to complete many different kitchen tasks. The food processor comes with a stainless steel mixing and chopping blade, a shredding blade with 2mm and 4mm holes, and an adjustable slicing disc. The slicing disc uses Kitchenaid's Exact Slice feature, a lever on the outside of the machine that allows the cook to quickly and easily change the width of the slices. The food processor has a 2 in 1 feed tube, designed to allow large or small foods to be fed straight into the blades. The included pusher lets the cook apply pressure to ensure even slicing as food goes through the slicer or shredder blades. There are three speed settings on the 7 cup Kitchenaid food processor, hi, low and pulse. The pulse feature is very useful when light mixing or chopping is required, such as making a salsa or mixing a pie dough. The shredding blade works wonders on cheese, lettuce or even when shredding carrots for a carrot cake. The slicing blade has the power and edge needed to slice anything, from hard vegetables like potatoes, to soft tomatoes. The 7 cup capacity bowl gives plenty of space for any recipe, and Kitchenaid's exclusive Ultra Tight™ Seal technology guarantees that there won't be any leaking bowls, no matter how high it's filled. This food processor is available in four distinct colors: red, white, black and silver.

There are many positive attributes to this food processor. The bowl is big enough to handle most kitchen tasks for a family of four. The large fed tube ensures that the chef doesn't have to do too much prep work, and the feed tube has a hole to drizzle liquids in, like the oil in a pesto. That really helps prevent splatters from lifting the pusher out while the machine is running. This processor was also designed with cleanliness in mind. The bowl and blades are easy to take apart and wash, though care needs to be taken around the blades. In addition, the buttons are not raised or recessed from the front panel, they are flush. The front of the unit is one seamless piece, which leaves no spaces for bacteria and gunk to accumulate. Cleaning the outside of the processor is as simple as wiping with a damp cloth or spraying with a disinfectant. The adjustable slicing blade is a great feature. Kitchenaid has put this feature on many of its new food processors, and it has been a very popular feature. Most food processors have a slicing blade that will do one or two sizes, and any chef who wants a different size needs to use a knife or mandolin. The adjustable slicer blade gives the machine a lot of versatility compared to its competitors.
The only real drawback to the machine is in the safety lock design. According to many Kitchenaid 7 cup food processor reviews, the lid can be locked on in more than one position. The safety lock, which ensures the lid and bowl are securely locked to the machine before the blades can spin, will only engage if the feed tube is in the front of the machine. This has led to a lot of confusion and returned units. As long as the user realizes the unit will only work in this position, it's not really a big drawback. It is also worth mentioning that, while the seven cup bowl is big enough for most jobs, canning will probably require a bigger machine. Kitchenaid makes food processors up to 13 cups, and the bigger size will help with the large batches associated with canning.

This Kitchenaid food processor is a good mix of versatility and space. The seven cup unit doesn't take up too much counter space, but still has the volume for most tasks. There are many useful features, such as the adjustable slicing disk and the spill-proof lid, which make this food processor a popular model. The Kitchenaid 7 cup food processor would certainly be recommended for anyone who needs a quality food processor but doesn't have need of an exceptionally large unit.

Window Film and Window Tinting Benefits in Pompano Beach, Florida
Cut Your Home Cooling Costs Up to 50%
The EPA Energy Star Buildings Manual in the US states that approximately half of a home's utility bills are wasted because of loss of heat in the winter and heat gain in the summer through untreated windows. By choosing to tint your windows, you can significantly improve energy efficiency. A thin and virtually invisible layer of Vista window film can help you save up to 50% on cooling costs. Learn more about window film benefits in Pompano Beach.
Reduce Heat and Glare
How often do you have to close your blinds, shades, or draperies in order to be able to see your TV or computer screen the way it was meant to be seen? Not only does Vista home window tint block heat, it can reduce glare by up to 87%—just one of many window film benefits in Pompano Beach. Reduce eye strain and enjoy natural light while comfortably watching television or work on a computer. Southern Glass Protection uses Vista™ Window Film because it is ultra clear and distortion free, so you won't even know it's there.
Reduce the Effects of Harmful UV Rays
Have you ever seen faded patio furniture? The sun does the same thing to your interior furnishings if your windows are untreated. Flooring, furniture, and artwork fade due to the sun's UVA and UVB rays passing through your windows. Vista™ Window Films block up to 99.9% of harmful UV rays, helping to protect your family from the cause of skin cancer and your furnishings from fading.
Protect Your Home and Family
Southern Glass Protection also offers Vista™ Safety Films to help you protect your home and family. When glass is broken in a natural disaster, accident, or by an intruder, shattered glass can pose an extra danger. But with transparent Vista™ Security Film, the glass is held in place should an impact occur, giving your family extra protection when it's needed most.
Affordable Alternative to Replacement Windows
If your goal is to improve your home's energy efficiency and your windows are still intact, window tinting provides an affordable alternative to window replacement. At just one-tenth the cost of replacement windows, professional window film installation is a viable energy solution.
Find the Best Window Film for Your Project
No matter what your goal with window film is—to increase security, to add elegance or privacy, to reduce heat and glare, lower energy bills, or block out harmful UV rays—our 18 years of experience, including ongoing education about the latest technology, will allow us to recommend the best window film to meet your needs while educating you about window film benefits in Pompano Beach.

Hi, I am attorney Vaughn Clauson. Thank you for visiting my North Carolina Social Security disability blog.
My office is located in beautiful Durham, North Carolina, although I represent clients throughout the State. My law practice is devoted 100% to Social Security disability representation, and I have limited my practice to Social Security only since 2001.
Several years ago, I qualified as a "Legal Specialist" in Social Security disability law by the North Carolina State Bar Association. Legal Specialists (also known as "Board Certified" lawyers) must qualify for this designation by taking a comprehensive exam in their area of specialization and must be favorably reviewed by other lawyers in the community and within their area of specialty.
Here is what the North Carolina bar says about Legal Specialists:
Certification helps consumers to identify lawyers who have experience and skill in a certain area of practice. Certification also helps lawyers by encouraging them to improve their expertise in particular areas of practice and providing them with a legitimate way of informing the public and other lawyers of this expertise.
I mention that I am Board Certified so that you will know that I work hard at my profession and that I take my obligations to my clients very seriously.
More important than Board Certification are the "thank yous" I get from my clients. Since 2000, I have helped over 1,000 honest, hard-working and deserving claimants win Social Security disability benefits.
I know that you have many choices when it comes to selecting a Social Security disability lawyer so it is important that you educate yourself about lawyers out there who want your business, and about the Social Security process in general. I hope that you will use this blog to ask questions, comment on my posts and learn more about Social Security disability. I also encourage you to visit my firm's disability website where you can find answers to frequently asked questions and more.
Finally, if you ever have any questions about Social Security disability, you are always welcome to pick up a phone and call me – locally in Durham at 919-794-8676 or toll free from anywhere in the State at 877-835-5845. You can also email me if you prefer.

It's getting near Easter! We celebrate the cross and resurrection because it was the apex of human history. We agree that the earth-shattering sacrifice on Calvary was the fulfillment of that which was written.
Why is it then that there isn't unanimous agreement about the date of the crucifixion? Experts differ from approximately AD 27 to AD 36 as to when it happened and followers say it doesn't matter much anyway. It does matter. It is the center point of prophecy! Entire prophetic systems stand or fall on correct timing as it concerns the chronology of the cross.
So when? Exactly when was it?

Memorial Weekend has passed and summer is now officially upon us at Deep Creek Lake. With summer comes one word that is on everyone's mind at Railey Mountain Lake Vacations: BBQ! Whether it's enjoying delicious food at one of our local BBQ restaurants or grilling lakeside at your vacation rental, summers at Deep Creek are all about enjoying life on the lake with friends and family, along with cocktails and some great grilled food.
Our favorite Deep Creek BBQ restaurant, is Archie's Barbeque in McHenry, MD, hands down. This family owned and operated restaurant has been dishing up some of the best pulled pork, beef brisket, and baby back ribs around since 2007. For those with a serious BBQ appetite, Archie's is home to the Mountain Man Food Challenge. Anyone that can take down baby back ribs, a half BBQ chicken, an Archie deluxe sandwich, 4 pieces of cornbread, a small hot side, a small cold side, and a 16 oz soft drink ($50 value) in 1 hour gets the meal for free and plenty of bragging rights!
Diners can relax in the Archie's dining room or choose to sit under the umbrellas outside – bonus, the outdoor seating is pet friendly! Or call ahead and take a BBQ feast to go from Archie's Drive Thru. Archie's also has a mobile smoker, perfect for weddings, reunions, and other private events.
For those that prefer to barbecue from the comforts of home, all of Railey Mountain Lake Vacations' house rentalscome equipped with gas or charcoal grills. Local grocery stores, including the Deep Creek Shop 'N Save, Arrowhead Market, and Walmart Supercenter, can supply all of your grilling needs, from fresh meat to local produce, condiments, buns, and snacks. All of the kitchens in Railey's Deep Creek vacation rentals come equipped with everything you'll need to grill and cook at home. There's nothing better than enjoying a day out on the lake and then firing up the grill for an outdoor lunch or sunset dinner. With the beautiful weather the summers bring to Deep Creek Lake, why not spend as much time as possible outdoors? We know that we'll be grilling and chilling this summer, and we hope you will as well!

Memorable trek, highly recommended to all !!!
Lhasa, the remote abode of the Dalai Lamas, object of devout pilgrimage and heart and soul of Tibet, is still a city of wonders, despite the large-scale encroachments of modern Chinese influence. First hint that Lhasa is close is the Potala, a vast white-and-ochre fortress soaring over one of the world's highest cities. It's a sight that has heralded the marvels of the Holy City to travellers for close to four centuries and it still raises goose bumps. It is hard to imagine a thriving city at such an altitude, functioning as the religious, cultural and economic hub of Tibet.
While the Potala dominates the skyline, the Jokhang, some 2km to the east, is the real spiritual heart of the city. An otherworldly mix of flickering butter lamps, wafting incense and prostrating pilgrims, the Jokhang is the most sacred and alive of Tibet's temples. It is here and the encircling Barkhor pilgrim circuit that most visitors first fall in love with Tibet.
Important Note :
Your safety is of paramount importance to us at Alpine Club of Himalaya. We have the absolute authority to cancel the trip or change the itinerary, when deemed necessary or when we have reason to believe your safety is at stake. Weather conditions, the health condition of a group member, natural disasters, and such, can contribute to changes in the itinerary when traveling in remote mountainous regions. In these extreme situations, we kindly request that you offer your full co-operation to the trusted leader of the group appointed by Alpine Club of Himalaya. However, we assure you that we will make every effort to keep to the above itinerary.
Day 01: Arrival in Lhasa (3,650 m/11,972ft)
You arrive at the Gonggar Airport in Lhasa, Tibet's administrative capital and one of the highest cities in the world. If you fly in to Lhasa from Nepal, you will enjoy an hour of breathtaking views of The Himalayas on what is considered to be one of the most beautiful air routes in the world. If you choose to travel via mainland China, you may fly in or take the world's highest train route to Lhasa. You will be greeted by a representative of Alpine Club of Himalaya upon your arrival at the airport or train station. You are advised to rest for the rest of the day to adjust to the altitude and minimize altitude sickness, as Lhasa has an elevation of about 3,600 m (11,800 ft) and lies in the centre of the Tibetan Plateau with the surrounding mountains rising to 5,500 m (18,000 ft), and thus the air only contains 68 percent of oxygen. Overnight in Lhasa.
Day 02: Lhasa sightseeing – Day 1: Potala Palace, Norbulingka Palace and Tibet Museum: 5-6 hours
Lhasa, which means the "place of the gods", is also the religious capital of Tibet, where Buddhist master Padmasambhava is said to have magically pinned down the earth demoness and built the foundation of the Jokhang Temple over her heart. You will visit the Potala Palace, which was the chief residence of the Dalai Lama and is now a museum and World Heritage Site. The building measures 400 metres east-west and 350 metres north-south, with sloping stone walls that have copper poured into the foundations to help proof it against earthquakes. The palace has thirteen stories containing over 1,000 rooms, 10,000 shrines and about 200,000 statues, and is situated at 117 metres (384 ft) on top of Marpo Ri, the "Red Hill", rising more than 300 m (about 1,000 ft) in total above the valley floor. It is magnificent and provides a breathtaking view of the valley.
Next we visit the Norbulingka Palaces, which was built by the 7th Dalai Lama and served both as administrative centre and religious centre, was also the summer palace of the Dalai Lama. Also a World Heritage site, the palace has what is considered to be the largest man-made garden in Tibet. Next, we visit the Tibet Museum, the official museum of Tibet, which has a permanent collection of around 1000 artifacts related to the cultural history of Tibet. Overnight in Lhasa.
Day 03: Lhasa Sightseeing – Day 2: Sera Monastery, Drepung Monastery, Jokhang Temple and Barkhor Bazaar: 5-6 hours
We visit the Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, Jokhang Temple, and Barkhor Bazaar. The Drepung Monastery, which was built in the 14th century, is believed to have sheltered around 10,000 monks in the past. The history, culture, and religious beliefs of the Tibetan people are strongly concentrated and centered in this marvelous monastery. The Sera Monastery is a preserved monastery with white-washed walls and golden roofs. Jokhang Temple is another important sacred site which unravels more deep-seated mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism. We then stroll through the Barkhor Bazaar (market). With its open air stalls, shops and crowd of pilgrims, it is the epicentre of Lhasa. Overnight in Lhasa. Overnight in Lhasa.
Day 04: Lhasa to Gyantse (3,950m/12,956ft) via Karo La Pass and Yamdrok Tso Lake: 325km, 5-6 hours
Today, we take a scenic drive to Gyantse, located in the Nyang Chu valley on the ancient trade routes from the Chumbi Valley, Yatung and Sikkim. We will cross the Karo La (5,010m/16,432 ft) and Kamba La (4794m/15,725 ft) passes, the beautiful Nazin Kang Sang glacier (7,252m), and Lake Yamdrok Tso (Turquoise Lake), one of the three largest sacred lakes in Tibet, also believed to be a transformation of a Tibetan goddess. If lucky, you may see huge glaciers tumbling down to the road before reaching Gyantse. In Gyantse, we visit the Khumbum Stupa, Phalkot Monastery, and the Gyantse Fortress that was constructed in 1390 and guarded the town. The town is surrounded by a wall 3 km long. Overnight in Gyantse.
Day 05: Gyantse to Shigatse (3,900m/12,795ft) via Shalu Monastery: 95km, 2 hours
We drive towards Shigatse, the second largest city in Tibet, and on the way, we visit the Shalu Monastery, founded in 1040 and known for its beautiful ancient mural paintings. We then visit the massive and magnificent Tashilhunpo Monastery, a historic and culturally important monastery in
Shigatse founded by the 1st Dalai Lama in 1447. Overnight in Shigatse.
Day 06: Shigatse to Rongbuk (5,000m/16,400ft) via Sakya Monastery: 355km, 8-9 hours
After breakfast, we leave Shigatse for Rongbuk. On the way, in Sakya, we visit the Sakya Monastery, which is the ancestral temple of the Sakyapa sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The main architectures inside the castle are the Dajing Hall, the Buddhism Hall and the hall where the Sakya archbishop lived. We drive to Rongbuk, and visit the Rongbuk Monastery, the highest monastery in the world, which lies near the base of the north side of Mount Everest at 4,980 metres (16,340 ft) above sea level, at the end of the Dzakar Chu valley. Overnight in Rongbuk.Day 07: Rongbuk to Zhangmu (2,300m/7,544ft) via Everest Base Camp: 257km, 5-6 hours
Day 07: Rongbuk to Everest Base Camp (5,250m/17,220ft)
While enjoying views of high peaks such as the Cho Oyu (8,201m/26,906 ft), Shishapangma (8,013m (26,289 ft) and the mighty Everest, known as Mt. Chomolongma in Tibet. We will make an approximately 16km round trip around the Everest Base Camp. The base camp itself is dry and barren, but the view of Everest is spectacular with its north face towering above us.
We then journey on to Zhangmu, enjoying fabulous views of two spectacular passes, the Thong La pass (5050m/16,568ft) and Lalung La pass (5082m/16,668 ft), and the Himalayan mountain range including Mt. Everest (8848m/29,028 ft) and Shishapangma (8,013m/26,289 ft). We drive down a steep winding road to Zhangmu, a small Tibetan town near the Nepal border. Overnight in Zhangmu.
Note: On rare occasions, due to bad weather or political riots, the local government may close down the road to the Everest Base Camp for safety reasons, and without prior notice!
Day 08: Zhangmu to Kathmandu (1,350m/4,428ft): 153km,4-5 hours
We take a 30-minute drive from Zhangmu to Kodari where we must pass the Tibetan immigration checkpoint.
Upon crossing the Sino-Nepal Friendship Bridge over the Bhote Koshi River, you will be greeted by our Alpine Club of Himalaya representative. You bid goodbye to your Tibetan guide and drive back to Kathmandu. Overnight in Kathmandu. (Cost of staying in Kathmandu not included).
Memorable trek, highly recommended to all !!!

BMG Classic makes history
13th Oct 2014
courtesy: www.sunshinetour.co.za
The Sunshine Tour reaches a major milestone this week with the BMG Classic at Glendower Golf Club, which is the 20th playing of a tour event sponsored by the engineering giant and making it one of only three sponsors in South African professional golf to achieve this.
Ulrich van den Berg returns to defend his title on an occasion that has been marked by a significant increase in prizemoney from R600 000 to R800 000.
The tournament has been one of the most successful on the Sunshine Tour since it teed off in 1995 at the Witbank Golf Club. In 2008 it moved to Ebotse Golf & Country Estate in Benoni, and then in 2009 to its current home of Glendower Golf Club.
Its status in South African golf is enhanced by the fact that it counts as its former champions Mark McNulty, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen and Gavan Levenson, and this is not lost on the current generation of South African golfers.
"The Bearing Man Group has been involved with the Sunshine Tour for 20 years, and most of South Africa's top professionals have a BMG tournament among their victories. I want to add my name to that list," said Jean Hugo.
The tournament also occupies a key place on the local calendar, serving as a timely warm-up for the professionals ahead of the summer leg of the Tour and the events co-sanctioned with the European Tour.
"We have enjoyed an enduring association with professional golf in South Africa that has lasted 20 years and have always been in it for the long term. Precision and quality is rewarded in golf, and as a company we stand for the same," said Charles Walters, CEO of BMG.
"This is why BMG will continue to support the Sunshine Tour in providing a competitive platform for the rising stars of South Africa."
The tournament has done exactly this over the years. It's played a key part in the development of South African golf with winners such as James Kamte, Lindani Ndwandwe and Teboho Sefatsa.
In 2009, Canadian Graham DeLaet won the title on his way to becoming a regular on the PGA Tour and a Presidents Cup campaigner.
And in 2011, Kamte beat Dawie van der Walt in a playoff for the title. Van Der Walt has since gone on to win twice on the European Tour.

Bill Reed
A pearling pioneer, explorer and marine biologist, Allure South Sea Pearls co-founder William (Bill) Reed AM has dived in pristine coastal waters around the world, travelling to some of the most exotic and remote locations in pursuit of the perfect pearls.
After studying zoology and fisheries biology at university, a young Bill sought a position that would allow him to pursue his passion for the sea. He would spend the next 20 years traversing the world and exploring the diverse seas of Papua New Guinea, Sudan, Nigeria and Tahiti.
In 1975 after selling his pearl farm and leaving the tropical shores of Tahiti, Bill returned to Australia and settled in beautiful Broome to work as a pearl consultant for one of the first cultured pearl farms in Australia at Kuri Bay, 370km North of Broome.
This new journey in Broome would see him build his reputation as one of the world's most knowledgeable and successful pearl dealers, earning him the prestigious Order of Australia for his contributions to the pearling industry.
Having amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience, Bill acquired a pearl farm which was situated in the pristine and unpolluted waters off the Kimberley coast. The conditions were ideal for the precious Pinctata maxima oyster to blossom and produce an abundance of large, lustrous pearls.
According to Bill, the success of Australian South Sea pearls on the global market saw them recognised as 'the finest and most prestigious pearls in the world'. As the desire and demand for these precious gems grew, it made it almost impossible to buy a local pearl in Broome.
In a twist of fate and a 'very profitable accident' as Bill recounts today, a broken leg saw Bill reshape the pearling industry in the historic town. Unable to work and travel to his pearl farm, a wheelchair bound Bill set-up shop in a rudimentary Colourbond shed, with 'no real flooring, and a few cabinets directly positioned on the towns iconic red dirt.' Bill had become an accidental shopkeeper and the first person, to officially sell pearls in Broome, in modern times. He offered genuine Australian South Sea pearls to locals and tourists, and nothing short of a surprise, the new business venture was an immediate success. Clients began to ask for pearl jewellery and this luxury was not yet on offer in Broome.
By the late 1980s, the pearl store had flourished and Bill invited young Perth jeweller Lindsay Youd to join him in Broome
With increasing demand for unique hand-crafted pearl and diamond jewellery, Bill and Lindsay collaborated with some talented goldsmiths, eventually leading to the creation of Allure South Sea Pearls, which offers a stunning range of pearl and diamond jewellery across Australia and internationally.
Far from his humble beginnings, Bill and Lindsay now have a beautiful light-filled boutique in the heart of Chinatown and after 25 years, the exquisite couture collection is still handcrafted locally by master jeweller John Eberhart.
Allure's designs continue to celebrate and pay homage to their hometown of Broome, their link to nature and the beautiful environment that surrounds them. Every Allure jewellery piece brings out the singular beauty of each pearl, celebrating nature's most magnificent treasures which is where Bill's fascination began.

Boardwalk looks to NFC for mobile ticketing
Boardwalk Inc., a Tokyo-based ticketing solution provider, has announced that it will begin NFC research and development for ticket-related applications.
Boardwalk provides a mobile ticketing solution based on Osaifu-Keitai mobile wallet technology. According to Boardwalk, the Felica-compliant service turns the phone itself into a contactless electronic ticket that can be used in place of a paper ticket. The so-called "Ticket Board" solution also provides QR codes for those without an Osaifu-Keitai-enabled phone.
Following introduction of the service in Japan, Boardwalk plans to provide the NFC compatibility necessary to bring Ticket Board to overseas markets.
NTT Docomo, the largest mobile operator in Japan, is providing support for the research and development project.

- by David Maisonave, a month agoRated 5 out of 5Textarea Cache just save me from having to rewrite a feedback I spent 40 minutes writing.
The feedback form timeout, and closed the formed. It discarded all the text I entered without warning!
I screamed loudly until I remembered I had Textarea Cache installed. I was able to retrieve the text with no problem.
Thank God for Textarea Cache!
- by JX Coleman, 4 months agoRated 5 out of 5This app is indispensable. . Everyone who does any kind of writing - and who doesn't send emails or respond to something online - needs this. It is fantastic. Highly recommended.
- by Alex, 5 months agoRated 5 out of 5It does a simple job and for me it does it good, saved me some nerves from time to time when some timeouts happen in our ticket systems (OTRS, JIRA).
Works on recent versions of FF, has a history and is slightly customizable.
It's not a lazarus but it's also not trying to. I'm happy about every wall fo text that's not lost.
- by Firefox user 15726855, 8 months agoRated 5 out of 5one of the most important features today is saving your writings - they get lost so easily. Thanks a lot for this one

Thank you for the work
- by Firefox user 12160845, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Worry-saving add-on, so easy to use - thank you so much! :-))
- by Amaylia, a year agoRated 5 out of 5This add-on has saved my butt a countless number of times. I haven't had any issues using it on any of the forms that I use... it's worked on reddit, my medical providers website, and many other forums where I've typed up lengthy messages only to have it get wiped out by an expired session or other issue. I'm extremely thankful for it!
- by reikred, a year agoRated 4 out of 5When I click on the Textarea Cache addon icon, addon should immediately save the text area (if any) of the active tab. Why? Because the exact timing of saves has been unpredictable, and I have experienced that the TaC is not up to date when I needed it to be. That is, I lost some typed text by some misfortune. Otherwise a great addon.
- by Firefox user 13897107, a year agoRated 3 out of 5很實用的一套件! 可惜快速鍵的下拉選單是顯示網址,改成顯示內容會比較直覺,有些區域的欄位也不會備份到

- by Firefox user 15036269, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Please fix disqus comments! They are not saved :(((
Steps to reproduce: find any website with Disqus comments. Leave a comment. Nothing is saved.
- by _ztv, a year agoRated 1 out of 5I've been using it for a couple of years. Recently updated from ESR 52 to 68 and was surprised that Addon is alive. But some features on ESR 68 don't work, for example, there's no icon in the navbar. Please correct.
- by Firefox user 5490605, a year agoRated 5 out of 5I am very surprised that this add-on has so few users. It has a very simple interface and some basic configuration controls. However, it is an absolute life saver when something you are writing within the browser (email, forum post etc) gets dumped by a page time-out, browser crash or similar. Textarea Cache saves everything you were writing, including italicised text where it has been entered, thereby saving you from fuming in anger and having to write it all out again! Just select the saved file, copy and paste the applicable text, and reinsert it back where you were writing it before everything went wrong. Damn useful!

Manila slips in global outsourcing ranking
THE Philippines' ranking as a preferred location for business process outsourcing (BPO) and call-center operations fell a notch mostly because of lack of skilled people, according to a survey of multinational companies.
In its Global Services Location Index 2011, A.T. Kearney said the Philippines dropped from eight to ninth place out of 50 countries considered attractive locations for off-shoring service activities.
The country scored a total of 5.69 points.
In 2009, the country was ranked eight with a total score of 5.60 points. The government is banking on the growth of the off-shoring business such as BPO, call centers, medical transcription and other e-services to help address the country's unemployment and generate more foreign exchange.
The A.T. Kearney survey analyzes and ranks the top 50 countries worldwide for locating outsourcing activities, including IT services and support, contact centers and back-office support.
Each country's score is composed of a weighted combination of relative scores on 43 measurements, which are grouped into three categories: financial attractiveness, people and skills availability, and business environment.
The Philippines scored high in financial attractiveness with 3.18 points, but low in terms of people and skills availability and business environment at 1.31 points and 1.16 points, respectively.
The report said the Philippines remains an off-shoring behemoth, employing half a million people in the BPO sector and generating $7.2 billion in revenues in 2009.
Amid fierce competition from other regional players, the government has launched a plan to build a virtual BPO university and extend training in call-center skills to an additional 10,000 students to retain its competitive edge.
Compared to its neighboring countries, the Philippines is still behind Malaysia, which ranked third; Indonesia, fifth; Thailand, seventh; and Vietnam, eight. The most attractive locations are India and China because of the combination of human resources and low cost.
"While India, China and Malaysia remain top off-shoring destinations, wage changes and currency flux lead to major changes in the rankings," A.T. Kearney said.
"There is significant diversity in the ranks of these top Asian players. India is the all-around standout, able to provide manpower for any type of off-shoring activity," the management consulting firms aid.
It added that the Philippines' long-established tradition of providing leading call-center support remains strong.
China provides competitively priced high-end analytics and engineering, while Malaysia attracts IT services off-shoring.
Counterparts in Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand are in their relative infancy.

Watch and pray—Matthew 26:41
We need to watch our prayers as well as watch for the answers to our prayers. It requires as much wisdom to pray rightly as it does faith to receive the answers to our prayers.
A Christian confided that he had been in years of darkness because God had failed to answer certain of his prayers. As a result, he had been in a state bordering on infidelity.
A very few moments were sufficient to convince this friend that his prayers had been entirely unauthorized and that God had never promised to answer such prayers. They were for things which, in the exercise of ordinary wisdom, he should have accomplished himself. The result was deliverance from the cloud of unbelief which was almost wrecking his Christian life.
There are some things about which we do not need to pray as much as to take the light which God has already given. Many people are asking God to give them peculiar signs, tokens and supernatural intimations of His will. Our business is to use the light He has given, and then He will give whatever more we need.

The bomber also wounded 19 people, including seven policemen who were severely injured and a woman and her baby, the authorities said.
BAGHDAD, Oct. 29 — Police training in the provincial capital of Baquba turned into a blood bath on Monday when a suicide bomber on a bicycle set off his explosive vest in the midst of policemen, killing 29, the local police said.
A suicide bomber killed seven people just north of Baghdad, and the United States military said a brigadier general had been wounded by a roadside bomb in northern Baghdad, according to The Associated Press. Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Dorko, the highest-ranking American officer to be hurt since the invasion in March 2003, was evacuated to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. His wounds were not life-threatening, The A.P. said.
Taken together, the attacks highlighted the continuing instability in the vicinity of Iraq's capital and were a reminder of how easily security in the city could disintegrate.
The blast in Baquba, the capital of Diyala Province, also wounded 19 people, including 7 policemen who were in critical condition and a woman and her baby, provincial authorities said. Most of the police officers killed and wounded were members of the recently formed emergency police brigade in Diyala.
Wisam Wahid al-Majmaie, a policeman who lives in the Ghatoon neighborhood of Baquba, said that a few minutes before the blast he had been relaxing with his colleagues. "I lost 12 friends who were with me having tea 30 minutes ago," he said.
The attack was one of the deadliest on Iraqi security forces in several weeks. No group took immediate responsibility, but the episode suggested that Sunni Arab guerrillas, who as recently as last spring controlled Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, continue to be able to carry out devastating attacks.
American military officials said they had largely cleared Baquba of militants during operations this summer, when a large force of soldiers swept through the city. But it appears that despite those efforts the city remains unstable, as does much of the rest of the province, where sectarian killings, bombs and kidnappings occur daily.
During the American and Iraqi offensive over the summer, many of the insurgents were able to flee north before the soldiers arrived, American officers said. Some Iraqis have expressed fears that when United States forces reduce their presence in Baquba, the militants will simply return.
Monday's bombing in Baquba appeared to be part of a coordinated attack on the police force in the provincial capital. At about the same time as that attack, another suicide bomber attempted to strike the police station in Hibhib, on the northern side of the city, according to an American military official in the city. The attack failed because a policeman shot the suicide bomber. However, the coordinated assault suggests that the extremists are active again in the capital.
Diyala has become one of the most lethal places in Iraq for American soldiers, with 110 troops killed so far this year, according to Icasualties.org, an independent Web site that tracks deaths in Iraq. That figure is more than the total number of American troops killed in the province over the past four years. Diyala ranks third after Anbar Province and Baghdad in American casualties.
In Baghdad, the kidnapping of 10 tribal sheiks ended Monday when Interior Ministry commandos obtained the release of nine of them. One of the sheiks was killed shortly after he was kidnapped. The sheiks — three Sunnis and seven Shiites — had just met with officials from the office of Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki when they were abducted.
The American military said in a statement that the kidnappers were believed to be rogue elements of the Mahdi Army, the Shiite militia affiliated with the anti-American cleric Moktada al-Sadr. However, at Mr. Sadr's request, many in the militia have laid down their weapons. The American military says those who have not done so are primarily criminals.
In Karbala, a center of Shiite worship and pilgrimage south of Baghdad, American forces transferred security responsibility to Iraqi forces on Monday. Karbala is the eighth province in which the American military has handed security responsibility to the Iraqis. The city and surrounding province are for the most part calm, but in late August there were clashes between Iraqi forces guarding the holy shrines and militiamen who said they were loyal to Mr. Sadr.
The other provinces that have responsibility for their own security are the three in Iraqi Kurdistan and four southern provinces — Najaf, Dhi Qar, Maysan and Muthanna.

Podcast Editing: Time Saving Tips
One of the most time consuming parts of putting together a podcast episode is the editing process. Ask any podcaster and they'll tell you the same.
Editing should be the part of the process where you focus on the content of your episode so that it can have real resonance and impact with your audience.
If you're someone who spends more time preparing to edit and trying to fix badly recorded audio then here are a few time saving strategies that you could employ for next time.
It Starts With Recording
Even before you open up your DAW to edit, you'll have had to record your episode — duh!
But how you record can end up saving you a ton of time in the edit.
The TL;DR version of this post is as follows;
One microphone per person — no sharing 🗣🎙
Use headphones, though earphones are fine too 🎧
Record in a quiet space, away from any potential noise 🔇
Using a microphone each is crucial to making sure that all voices are recorded consistently and evenly.
There are few things that take up more time in an edit than having to balance the levels of a voice and if you're trying to edit an interview recorded with a single microphone where one person is louder than the other you'll be at it for hours.
Having an even and consistent sounding audio recording means you can focus on editing the content.
Headphones are crucial to preventing echo on remote interviews which is part of the importance of the last point as well — if you're not wearing headphones and you can hear something then so can your microphone too which means it'll be on your for good.
The goal with recording is to create a replicable and consistent method that you can carry out every time. It might take a few tries to get right but once you do it, you'll notice the difference, not only in your audio quality, but also that you won't be spending time fixing recording mistakes.
Clearly Label Your Files
You've recorded, got your music, sound effects, and any other audio you might need. It's now worth taking an extra minute to label these files for future reference.
You can go from this time waster…
…to this time saver.
Then when you're sat down to edit you'll know exactly which file is the one you need, when you need it.
Prepare Templates
No matter which DAW or editing software you use, having a session template ready will save you plenty of time in the long run.
If you find yourself starting with a blank session every time, then creating tracks, loading plugins, and importing music, you're taking time away from what you need to be doing.
Work out which tracks, plugins, and files you're using in every episode then create and save this as a blank session to your hard drive.
Some DAWs, like Pro Tools, have a 'Save as Template' feature, for others you might have to duplicate the session for each episode.
Here's an example of a template I have ready to go from Pro Tools for editing an interview show.
As you can see, I have the host, guest, and music tracks ready and preloaded with the plugins and settings, as well as a master track with a levelling plugin.
Here's the sessions template I have for Hollywood Science as well.
There's obviously more here compared to the interview template, including more sound effects, but it serves the same function — to save me from having to create all of this each and every time it comes to editing an episode.
Play It Faster
If you're feeling confident, try playing through your audio at a faster speed than 1x.
Audacity has this feature available available in upper right corner which won't affect your final audio.
In other DAWs, like Pro Tools, you'd have to use the Time Compression Expansion effect under AudioSuite -> Other and then do the reverse once you've finished to return the audio back to its original speed.
Know Your Keyboard Shortcuts
Ever see someone in a coffee shop or in the office pounding away at their keyboard without touching their mouse or trackpad? Chances are they know their keyboard shortcuts inside and out and, if you want to be faster at editing, you should too.
The more you practice using keyboard shortcuts, the quicker your editing time will be.
What's more is that a lot of shortcuts are the same in each DAW meaning that if you decide to switch then it should be a smooth transition to using new software.
What are your time saving techniques for editing?

Care Instructions: Dry Clean Only
China has a long history of silk culture. As early as five thousand years ago in the Neolithic Age, our ancestors began planting mulberry to raise silkworms. As the silk had many more advantages compared with cotton and linen, it gradually developed to be royal supplies. In ancient society, people used to be distinguished by wearing silk, cotton or linen. The officials were proud of wearing silk brocades, so there was a saying "return to hometown in silk robes". Before the Tang Dynasty, silk was a luxury most could not attain. While the palace and local government used to take silk as a reward for meritorious people. As the filament materials of silk quilts were scarce and the production was complex, only the royal could enjoy it. Silk quilts were only taken as tribute to palace in every Chinese dynasty. Today, silk products are available to you, so that you can enjoy an imperial honor and luxury.
As early as 4,700 years ago in the Neolithic Age, people in China had already mastered the technology of reeling silk cocoons and weaving silk. At present, there are 120,000 sericulrist families in China with mulberry planting area of more than 26,000 acres producing 10,000 tons of cocoons every year.
Our selection experts have a half century's experience in raising silkworms and selecting cocoons. They choose the finest quality cocoons in accordance with the selection standard of traditional royal tribute, so the cocoons have the high output rate and silk floss has good whiteness and gloss with few pupa crumbs, which lay a solid foundation for the high quality of our silk floss.
Silk is the natural protein fiber from the silkworm. Cocoons shall be cooked in boiling water through pupa killing and peeling during silkworms cocooning and explosion, then raw silk is peeled off. If cocoons are overcooked, silk would be damaged and the floss would not be strong. When cocoons are boiled too rare, the stripping will be affected and silk floss will have raw block. Cocoon cooking process is passed on from generation to generation. Silk floss has a bright color, good flexibility and elasticity.
After the cocoons have been properly boiled, they now have to be peeled. According to legend, the cocoon peeling craft has been passed down from mother to daughter, from generation to generation for centuries. Once the cocoons are peeled, the silk floss has to be spread. This is done by hand to maintain superior quality.
Pieces of silk floss at about one square foot are hauled by four people then instantly become silk nets at more than 2 meters wide, which is really amazing. Thousands of net layers are hauled by four people's hands. This gives the wadding integrity and resilience. So the silk quilts could keep soft and comfortable for a long time. Its interlaced structure ensures the durability of the silk quilts. It has been a new fashion product that is free unpicking and clapping to be fluffy. A quilt of 2kg needs to be hauled layer by layer over a hundred times and piled up in interlaced way layer by layer to be the floss wadding.

Farm Patching Explained – High Availability SharePoint
SharePoint patching can be a non-trivial task and patching any SharePoint farm from one version to a newer version of the same product involves taking the entire farm offline at a certain point by necessity - this post explains when and why. Later we'll look at how to avoid outages during patching but for now we're focussing on when we have to down the entire farm and/or specific services.
So let's start with the basic steps of how to patch a SharePoint 2013 farm:
- Update binaries - install patch on each server, either all at once or one-by-one. As each server is patched IIS & the timer-service are stopped and depending on the role, the server being offline will cause stability problems or not as there's now one less server for whatever roles/farm-services it was running.
- Upgrade databases - when all servers are patched, the farm databases often needs to be upgraded by running the configuration wizard/psconfig one of the servers. This isn't always the case – it depends on what version you're upgrading to and from but in this post I'll assume you'll need to do so.
- Complete upgrade - when the databases are patched, all remaining servers need to complete the patch process by running psconfig on each after the farm is upgraded.
This process seems straightforward enough but there are some caveats that basically mean you cannot patch a farm without taking the entire farm offline at a certain point. These caveats are:
- For each server, when the patch is applied IIS will stop and won't resume again until the patch is installed & the configuration wizard (psconfig) is run afterwards.
- The wizard/psconfig won't run on a patched server after patch install until all servers in the farm. You can force an upgrade anyway but this really isn't recommended.
SharePoint Binary/Database Version Compatibility
SharePoint binaries are hard-coded to only touch certain databases schema versions, with only one schema version for any type of database (content, user-profile, search, etc) having a fully-supported schema version. That's to say for example SharePoint 15.0.4535.1000 will open databases created by binary version15.0.4505.1002 –> 15.0.4535.1000 with databases created by binaries 15.0.4535.1000 being the only fully supported schema version*. Databases prior to 4535 won't even be attempted to open by binaries 15.0.4535.1000.
New binaries often will work with old databases but again, we don't support this so if we see this happening the first thing we'll ask you to do is upgrade them. That said, version upgrades don't always upgrade the schema version so the amount of downtime patching will cause can vary and may even be entirely avoidable if done intelligently and the version-difference isn't large.
To see what versions your databases have had, check the "versions" table on each one (but please don't modify any databases or data owned by SharePoint by hand, ever) – the highest value is the current version:
* This I gave as an example of how the compatibility ranges work- I can't confirm these compatibility ranges are actually the true or not – it's just to give you the idea.
Process Breakdown
In real terms then let's see what happens when we patch a simple 2-server farm (servers S1 and S2) with each server handling service-apps and web-apps; a rare and not-exactly-optimal configuration, but it saves us having to worry about what service-apps will become unavailable because that particular server is being patched.
Begin Patching – Run Setup
Patching Stage
Availability (green = usable)
Prepare for patches. All servers and services online.
Start patching server 1 binaries.
Server 1 goes offline taking with it any services the farm might've needed. Server 2 will quite happily continue servicing requests.
While patching; SharePoint services stop, giving us an outage on that machine.
Server 1 will finish patching and may even need a reboot.
Again, until the patch is initiated on either Server 1 to upgrade the farm DBs or Server 2 to patch the binaries, Server 2 will have no problems continuing to serve pages or requests.
Upgrade Databases - Total Outage!
We now have to take the farm offline completely to proceed with the patching process. Once all servers are patched run the configuration wizard on the 1st server you want to bring back online and following instructions (or run psconfig for advanced users). If you haven't patched all your servers you'll see something like the following:
We now have to start with Server 2 because PSConfig/The Configuration Wizard won't let us continue.
You could force the upgrade on S1 without S2 being updated but that's potentially asking for a world of hurt so we won't force skip this in this example. Continue at your own risk.
Now we need to upgrade the databases – this is done by finishing the patch process on any of the servers – the wizard/psconfig will realise there's half-baked databases that need attention and will upgrade those too. This is where you'll have a total farm outage while everything is upgraded offline.
Pro-tip: you can disconnect content & service databases before patching anything so this stage completes much faster, although a word of warning: Microsoft doesn't support half-upgraded farm so this'll need to be completed once the farm is back online – this option is for emergencies where a DB or other is holding back the upgrade from completing on the 1st pass.
Upgrading databases happens here, done in the background on a timer-job.
Complete Upgrade - Restore Service
The hard part's over and we should now have some kind of service again once the wizard's done on one server – we just need to repeat the same on all the other servers now. Once done, the wizard will look like this:
Once Server 1 is done configuring post-patch you'll have a farm something like this…
Server 1 will be able to process requests now it & the databases are upgraded.
|All set – all servers & databases now upgraded.
Verify Completion - Check Patching Status
You'll know if you've not completed the patch on a server by running the configuration wizard, if you've not done it yet you'll see this screen.
Farm Availability Timeline
From the above steps, even with the most optimistic time-line we're looking at a complete and unavoidable outage from the moment you begin patch install on the last server in the farm right up until the configuration wizard (or psconfig) finishes with the 1st server the post-install configuration.
Remember, the stage in red represents a total outage which at a given point in the patching process is unavoidable. Before the point of no return (DB patching) you should have availability but if you start patching a server which services a specific service-app and there are no more available then you'll lose that service-application even if the farm is technically online. A service-app outage is sometimes as bad as a total outage so this has to be taken into account.
Generally if you want absolutely guarantees of all services being available then you'll need to switch to a backup farm while the target farm is upgraded – more on that in a later post.
As mentioned already, depending on the patch in question, databases may or may not be changed - if you want to be sure what's going to happen then run a test install on a test farm. Each SharePoint database comes with a "versions" table which contains the version of that particular database (there'll quite possibly be more than one – the highest is considered the current version with the others being version history) and a SharePoint server will know for which version-range it can touch.
Important Disclaimer: Microsoft only supports SharePoint farms that are fully upgraded, even if the software will mount the database ok. Make sure you complete the update fully once you have serviceability again!
Patching Without Downtime
This of course is possible but it basically involves having another farm on standby to cover for when your main farm drops off the internet. Read more about this @ http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sambetts/archive/2013/11/15/patching-sharepoint-farms-with-no-downtime-high-availability-sharepoint.aspx

babies popping up everywhere
Yesterday morning, my cousin gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Ethan is as perfect as a little Asian boy can be.
And last month, a friend of mine from high school brought little Ethan into the world. And a colleague just came back from maternity leave after having her daughter, Sydney.
Pregnancies and babies always make me nostalgic. Yeah, I've only been mom2amara for 3 years but I feel like each stage was eons ago.
But aside from looking back fondly on the last three years, I get a tad bit sad because I know I won't relive any of the sleepless nights, newborn baby smells, or staring at tiny booties. My dear hubby has made it clear that Amara is enough blessings for our itty bitty family. So I must live vicariously through the other women around me.
So Ethan, Evan, and Sydney...you will become my projects. I will pester your moms with advice they don't ask for, share with them tidbits on toddler fashion, and hope they in turn tell me details about every stage you're in.

One of Ukraine's richest men is being investigated by Scotland Yard over the abduction of his two British grandchildren from the UK to Ukraine.
Banker and industrialist Sergiy Tigipko helped his daughter Ganna defy High Court orders to bring her children back to the UK from Kiev, a judge has ruled.
The court had ordered Ms Tigipko back to London, where the children's British father lives, so they could see him.
Sergiy and Ganna can be named after an exceptional decision by a judge.
The children were "suffering harm" by being separated from their father, the court heard.
The judge heard that publicity could make their mother and grandfather return them.
Ms Tigipko said everything she had done since her husband left her in 2015 had been "for the welfare of my children and nobody else".
She added the children were "happy and settled in Ukraine now" and that their father was "welcome to visit them".
It is believed to be the first time a judge has allowed abductors to be named in this way – usually it only happens when children's whereabouts are unknown.
Ms Tigipko met the children's father in 2010 and married in 2012.
They settled in north London, and had two daughters. But, in late 2015, the father announced the marriage was over.
- Funny business at the Ukrainian polls
- Ukraine bans its Eurovision entrant over Russia row
- The life of a 17-year-old in Kiev
Initially, Ms Tigipko was happy to stay in London. She had founded a clinic in Harley Street.
With help from her mother, she bought a £9m home in Hampstead, which is one of London's most expensive districts and popular with Russian speakers.
The children's father lived nearby with his new wife.
But then Ms Tigipko met a new partner too, and married him in 2017 in Ukraine.
In November 2017, she took the girls for a visit to Kiev – and stayed there, violating an informal agreement with the father to remain living in the UK.
She sold her house in Hampstead and gave up her Harley Street business.
In April 2018, the High Court ruled she must return to London to live – but she ignored repeated court orders.
Mr Justice Mostyn found that her father, Sergiy, had helped her.
He was fully satisfied "of his deep complicity", he said in his judgment.
As no progress was being made, the girls' father took the exceptional step of asking for the grandfather and mother to be named, hoping that would encourage them to return the children.
Mr Tigipko is one of the richest and most powerful men in Ukraine.
The billionaire was an ally of Ukraine's former president, Viktor Yanukovych – serving as a vice prime minister in his administration – and twice stood as a presidential candidate himself.
In recent years, he has concentrated on his business interests, and told the court he had no further interest in politics.
The court heard that before the children were taken to Kiev, they had had a close relationship with their father.
'Papa is bad'
But now they have been turned against him.
In December, the older girl told a court appointed expert: "Papa is bad."
He has three children from a previous marriage while his new wife has a son from an earlier relationship.
It is believed to be the first time a judge has named abductors in such a case.
In family courts, protecting the children's identity is paramount and they are only named when their whereabouts is unknown, as in the case of Olly Sheridan.
Mr Justice Mostyn said that he placed "great weight" on the submissions made by the barrister for the children's court-appointed guardian, who had supported publication.
He said that child abduction was a "heinous practice" and yet "public awareness is curiously very limited".
Orysia Lutsevych, from the think tank Chatham House, said many in Ukraine would be unsympathetic to the Tigipkos.
She said there was a sense that the very rich behave differently, that the rules do not apply to them, that they're "untouchable".
"I'm sure lots of Ukrainians will be watching the case," she added.

The Conflict:
The 2011 popular uprising against President Bashar al Assad quickly devolved into a sectarian conflict between the minority Alawite government and majority Sunnis, complicated by multiple outside actors with contradictory goals.
Internal Players:
Free Syrian Army (FSA) - Loose, largely marginalized coalition of opposition military forces, including Assad defectors; mostly Sunnis, some Kurds and Alawites
Islamic State – Salafist jihadis holding large areas of Syria and Iraq. Led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, self-declared caliph of self-styled caliphate
Jabhat al-Nusra - Al Qaida-affiliated Sunni militia fighting Assad regime, among others. Sent to Syria by then-AQ in Iraq head al-Baghdadi in late 2011
Army of Conquest – Newly-formed anti-Assad coalition; Nusra and other Islamists dominate
PKK – anti-IS Kurdish militias; tacit agreements with other battlefield forces
Outside Stakeholders:
United States – gives open and covert support to some anti-Assad forces; leads anti-IS coalition, which includes UK, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and to a limited degree, Turkey
Iran – backs Assad with weapons, intelligence, funding and its Lebanon-based proxy Hezbollah militia, which has fought for Assad in Syria.
Russia – long-time Assad supporter, beefed up military presence in August 2015, began airstrikes against anti-Assad targets the next month

We've been giving a lot of thought to branded content in it's various forms - advertorials, native advertising or as I've recently heard it called, brand journalism.
This is essentially space or time filled with content that's paid but meant to look earned. Media owners like it. Brands are cautious. And the journalism community has mixed reactions - some see employment opportunities, others see an intolerable "church and state" violation that erodes editorial credibility.
Our advice: proceed with extreme care.
Done well, it can engage communities meaningfully in ways that standard advertising cannot and with greater control than standard PR.
But done poorly, it can really piss people off.
Check out the interview below with Rick Hamann, CCO of The Onion on how they make it work.
Don't make a commercial. The greatest mistake a client can make is wanting to create a traditional 30-second broadcast commercial and try to run it as a piece. That's really bad.

Pretty straight forward.. about the only problem I have had is getting the plate between the 2 rear head bolts to seal..
Use some sealer on the Push-rod side of the head gasket..they seem to seep on that side for a while if you don't.. Might be a good idea to knock a freeze plug of two out and Flush the water jacket out while you can.

Honest To Goodness Beef Bone Broth For Your Pets
My dogs Galaxy, Thornton, and Mr. Twix love their meal times. I feed them a dehydrated grain free food from The Honest Kitchen. All three of them look great on the food and they have tons of energy.
I was pleased to get my hands on one of The Honest Kitchen's newest products. Beef Bone Broth is a new tasty instant mix. When mixed with warm or cold water it makes a nourishing, mineral-rich, yummy drink.
The company calls it a treat with benefits. The main ingredient providing a benefit for your cats or dogs is turmeric. It's the potent kind, with 95% curcuminoids, the active compound in turmeric that's been studied for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties.
There are a couple of ways to prepare and use the Beef Bone Broth. It can be made cold or warm, served by itself or on top of kibble. I decided to make a warm treat for my dogs, it's a little chilly at the moment here in Las Vegas.
The instructions are simple to make up one cup of Beef Bone Broth. Please note that you're not going to give your pets an entire cup. You'll feed them the treat drink based on their weight. If you do heat the water, leave it to cool before your pets lap it up.
The Honest Kitchen products smell delicious. Beef Bone Broth did not disappoint. My dogs' little noses twitched as I prepared this beef bone, pumpkin and parsley gourmet treat.
Once the Beef Bone Broth was placed in front of them, I no longer existed. Beef Bone Broth was their new best friend and I was ditched. I enjoyed watching them lap up this warm, delicious, nutritious drink. The video shows how much they liked it.
You can pick up this special Beef Bone Broth for your cat or dog online for $13.99.
