The Italian city of Palermo is located in the north west of Sicily, by the Gulf of Palermo in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The city has a reputation across the world for its history, gastronomy, culture and architecture with a its origins dating back over 2,700 years. Many visitors flock to the city and it has become Sicily's main hub for culture, commerce and tourism. The city's centre has many examples of fine palaces and churches which give way to areas whose way of life doesn't seem to have changed for centuries. This is perhaps most evident in the markets in Palermo, whose Arabic origins can still be seen today thanks to the noise, aromas, colours, narrow streets and with the excellent array of produce on offer and the general 'souk's atmosphere.
From the city's port, ferry services operate to destinations include Genoa, with a crossing time of 21 hours, Civitavecchia, 14 hour crossing time, Naples, 10 hours and 30 minutes, and Tunisia, 10 hours. It is recommended that foot passengers check in 1 hour prior to departure and vehicles 2 hours prior to departure. For all departures to Tunisia check in should be 4 hours prior to departure.
The port city of Genoa is located in the Liguria region of Italy and lies on the Mediterranean Sea coast. Genoa's historic centre is a maze of narrow alleys that open up onto small squares and is where visitors can't fail to appreciate the history and culture that embodies the city. Architecturally there are many different styles sitting side by side with a medieval wall acting as a base for a 14th century building on Gothic loggias. Genoa really is a place where the past literally forms the foundations of the present.
The city's old port, redesigned by Renzo Piano in 1992, is a popular draw for tourists who go there to take in all the sites the old port area has to offer. A popular site located close to the pier is the city's lighthouse where lovely views of Genoa and its Gulf can be had.
Genoa's ferry terminal is located in the Calata Chiappella and ferries depart towards Sardinia, Sicily, Corsica, Spain, Tunisia and Morocco. The terminal building has all of the usual passenger facilities and is also wheelchair friendly.

January's new loan was well below expectation. Well, it seems that the same would have happened for February.
Sina reports that the Big 4 banks (ICBC, Bank of China, CCB, Agricultural Bank) have provided RMB176.3 billion loans for the first 26 days of February, which would be well below RMB300 billion expected. The total new loans might be above RMB700 billion for February, but will probably be below the current consensus of RMB800 billion. Meanwhile, deposits increased sharply after decreasing for the Chinese New Year. Deposits for the Big4 banks could have increased by RMB871.6 billion in the first 26 days of February.
Below are the charts for China's money supply, loans and deposits data up till January.

While there are many reasons why people might want to put up their own marijuana greenhouse, perhaps the biggest reason today is because marijuana users want to grow their own plants. Folks that use a lot of cannabis spend a huge amount of money on their cannabis consumption. While marijuana should be much cheaper than it currently is, the huge demand for weed causes its price to stay very far above what it ought to be. The only real solution for many cannabis users is to just grow their own product. Among cannabis users that have started to use greenhouses to grow their plants, there are also a great many of them which prefer to grow their own weed because it allows them to create the perfect plant for their needs. The way in which cannabis is grown has a huge effect on what the drug produces in its user. Weed users can use controlled settings in their greenhouses to make their cannabis just the way they like it, something that a large weed dispensary probably can't do.
Marijuana greenhouses make it easier for growers to take care of their plants. Almost everyone knows that using a greenhouse to grow any sort of plant means that the plants grow faster due to the greenhouse's ability to provide the exact growing temperatures that are needed for each specific plant. When it comes to weed, there are several other reasons why the greenhouse makes cannabis cultivation less difficult. The greenhouse helps prevent the spread of plant diseases, many of which have been responsible for the destruction of huge cannabis farms just last year. Sites such as, www.ggs-greenhouse.com, reported that their number one customer of 2016 were cannabis cultivators that had decided to ditch the risk of growing outside because of the recent spread of plant diseases. When it comes to a crop as delicate as cannabis, all it would take is a breeze to come along and spread a plant based disease from one area to the next, but with a greenhouse, and its unique air filtration system, keeping the air around plants pure is easy to achieve.
The cannabis greenhouse is being used increasingly as a way to protect plants from humans as well. The price of cannabis today is out of this world. The recent legalization of cannabis in five new states, coupled with the medical industry's increasing dependence on cannabis as a way to fight many illnesses, has put weed in short supply. Anytime a crop's value begins to make it a target for thieves, the greenhouse becomes a good way to help provide extra protection for plants. It is not uncommon to see greenhouses with high tech security systems, shatter proof glass and in some big cities, security guards. When a cannabis harvest could represent tens of thousands of dollars, the right things have to be done to avoid getting ripped off. Growers that have been worrying about the security of their plants lately, should get one step ahead of the criminals and beef up security in their greenhouses.

Year 26 - Entry 1What happened? Everything hurts.
She opens her eyes and looks up at an unfamiliar starry sky, framed by a broken ceiling. Carefully, she tries to move her limbs, to check if she's alright. Fingers, arms… The motion whirls up dust and makes her cough. She gasps, tears bursting from her eyes. Her ribs hurts terribly! She breathes shallowy, convincing her lungs that there is no need to cough. She tries adjusting her legs. Waves of pain shoot from her right knee, and she presses her eyelids shut, drums the pavement with her palm, and tries to not pass out again. The pain diminishes a little, and she becomes aware of a familiar sound. There's water running very close; probably a small stream. Her left leg, although sore, seems fine. She turns her head gently from side to side. She feels dizzy, and her head is pounding.
She slowly rolls over so that she's resting on the left side of her body, and takes a look at her surroundings. The entrance of the room, with the arched doorway, is intact, but the door is missing. Most of the rest of the walls are missing, with only pillars left. Some of the room is located in a small shallow pond, and beyond that she can see the top of a small waterfall. Beyond the waterfall there are rocks and tall green trees strecthing towards the skies. Still in this position, she slowly crawls towards the pond. When she is within reach, she places her hand in the water. It feels cool. She uses her hand as a cup, and lifts a small amount of water to her face. The water has no smell at all, so she carefully take a small sip. It tastes like normal water, and she continues to drink until her thirst is slated.
They had finally been able to flee the shattered remains of Draenor, Outland. Velen had led the few remaining draenei in a raid on the Exodar, which was one of four naaru vessels located in Netherstorm. Or Farahlon, as some still called it. They had to reclaim it from the blood elves, and there had been a fierce battle. She had tried to help as best as she could, but her elder sister had led her into an empty room and told her to hide. Kneeling behind some boxes, she had felt that they had started to move, but she could still hear combat sounds outside of the room. After a while, the noises seemed to move away from where she was, and eventually she couldn't hear it at all. She had just decided to come out of hiding, when suddenly the entire ship had started shaking. The exodar seemed to be dropping, then it was hurled forwards, before it started to spin out of control. She had tried her best to find something to hold on to, the fear grasping a hold of her, clenching her heart, slowing her thoughts, and tightening her muscles. She heard terrified screams, and then loud noices, as the ship had grazed something. She had no idea how long she had been holding on to the nearest object, it could be 5 minutes or 5 hours, before the big final crash that had destroyed this room completely. She was knocked into the oposite wall by the violent movement, and had passed out. How on argus was she still alive?
She pushes the thoughts and the fear away, but can't stop the tears. She falls to sleep, completely worn out.

Rated: PG-13
Running Time: 104 Minutes
Year: 2008
Nudity: None
One Sentence: I don't believe that Zooey would fall in love with Jim.
To me this at least looked like it had potential, because I liked Liar, Liar, and this movie looked just like Liar, Liar. I mean I could tell the premise was different, but it pretty much felt the same. Jim acting as the silly striaght man, in a situation where he has no control over some sort of function that leads him on wild and wacky adventures. My hope was he at least was mostly going to be toned down. Overall I felt like I was right about what I thought the movie was going to be, at least from a plot point of view. However the movie ended up being far more a date movie that an outright comedy, and maybe even had some good messages.
A date movie with a message does not a movie make however, and well Yes Man is mostly a No Thanks. There are some funny parts, and I did laugh out loud, but at no point did I feel like this movie was anything better than a renter for you couples looking for something new on Netflix. It had some good Jim Carrey moments, and Rhys Darby from Flight Of The Concords was quite hilarious, it didn't fill out enough to make me tell you all to go see it this weekend at the theater. Which is hard for me because of my blind support of anything Zooey Deschanel does. Who looked great, and was her usual self, except in cuter clothes.
So the movie ended up being a romantic comedy, with a message, which I keep mentioning. It talks about changing you life, doing what you want and making the right choices, and all these things ring true to me, and actually while watching made me reflect a little and made me feel good about watching the movie. Then I thought about it and realized that you probably don't want a lecture and want to go see a comedy, so this is why I am saying skip it, because it ends up not being a comedy, but a life lesson with some humor thrown in. Also I don't get that Zooey who looks 20 years younger than Jum Carrey would fall in love with him. I guess if you are looking for a funny self-help book, this movie might be for you, the rest can rent or skip it.

Augmenting socio-cognitive interactions
I've found notes I've written when attending a talk by my phD director. I put it here since it could be seen as a framework for my phD. 1. Communication tools fulfill cognitive fonctions :
- Group memory : a chat, for instance, keep an history of the conversations, the questions asked... An email is a also a part of a cognitive system and not only a link between two persons. A whiteboard enable participants to have a joint understanding of the problem. The wire can play a role in solving the problem. For instance, in a chat you can scroll back to read the questions asked by the participants and answers to them sequentially (wheras in oral conversation, one cannot say "yes, no, yes) to three questions asked by three different adressees. - Storing the context : masters thesis Ott, 1999 - Group mirrors : ArgueGraph : when one give a group a picture of itself, it triggers reactions. Jermann; Donath. - Awareness tools : mutual modelling - Interaction analysis
2. Distributed cognitive systems : the group members and the tools constitutes ONE cognitive systems : shared memory, shared cognitive load, ... group metacognition.
3. Mediated communication is a substance : people interact with each other and we can do something with it.
4. Learning science needs computer science. Our approach : model/hypotheses + design/build + test/analyze (empirical studies)

Wouldn't you rather spend your time and money doing what you love? Like take your new car for a spin… Now is the time to start thinking about what is most important to you!
It's a new year with all the possibilities it entails. You are probably focused on saving money as new budgets are fresh off the block. Think about the many ways you can save money, without cutting your initial costs! We know, this sounds too good to be true, but with our focus on helping you work smarter and more efficiently with XaitPorter, this can soon be a reality. Take a look at our excellent list of benefits for using XaitPorter below, and decide if you can afford not to call us…
Payoffs of SaaS
Software as a service (or SaaS) is a way of delivering applications over the Internet, as a service, instead of installing and maintaining software. You simply access it via the Internet, freeing yourself from complex software and hardware management.
SaaS applications are sometimes called Web-based software, on-demand software, or hosted software. Whatever the name, SaaS applications run on a SaaS provider's servers. The provider manages access to the application, including security, availability, and performance.
Access from anywhere
XaitPorter is a cloud solution, you can see and work on the latest version of your documents from anywhere. You can easily invite partners, sub-contractors, and consultants to work with you; making your efforts truly collaborative.
No need to worry about formatting
In XaitPorter, you work with set document templates. You don't need to spend any time on numbering, formatting or layout, as it is all taken care of. And your documents will always follow your corporate branding guidelines.
Complete transparency
Because you always have access to the latest version, you can track the development of the document from day one. In addition, XaitPorter gives you a complete audit trail.
Streamline the process
Select writers, reviewers, and approvers. Set individual deadlines. The result is clearly defined responsibilities, and a streamlined process.
Navigate your document quickly
If you have ever tried to navigate a document of 1000 pages, you know that it's a tedious task. In XaitPorter, you navigate through your document using the automatically generated table of contents. Your document consists of several sections and subsections, and you can easily move from one to another.
No overwriting or duplicating work
When you work in a word processor, you risk overwriting and duplicating work. In XaitPorter, your document is split into sections. When you work on a section, it is locked for other users to edit. However, others will still be able to see the latest version of the document and its sections as everything is updated in real-time.
Easily reuse information
Because XaitPorter is built on a database, you can easily copy and reuse content, outlines and workflows.
No more post-its
In XaitPorter, all your comments are stored in one place. You add and respond to comments directly in your workspace.

I've launched the AWS Teradata Database Developer (Single Node) , and can't connect with ssh to start the DB ; not sure why i can't ssh.
The AWS instance state shows the instance is unreachable. My security group has ssh TCP port 22 open, my pem file is chmod 400.
When i view the instance system logs it appears to be forcing fsck , i also see a message mount: devpts already mounted or /dev/pts busy.
I accepted adding both the EBS and ephemeral disk. The AMI i launched was from the marketplace GCA_DBS_15100106_LocalStorage_TRIAL
Any ideas how to remedy this ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
System Log: i-8c7b1f51
[ 0.000000] ACPI: RSDP 00000000000ea020 00024 (v02 Xen)
System Log: i-8c7b1f51
[ 0.000000] ACPI: RSDP 00000000000ea020 00024 (v02 Xen)
Please use Public IP address or Public DNS of instance for ssh connection.
Note that "ec2-user" is the user you need to use for ssh connection as shown below,
:~# ssh -i private-key-file ec2-user@public-DNS or public-IP
For more instructions on remote login to Teradata Instance on AWS, please refer Chapter - 4, Configuring Teradata Software for AWS from Teradata Database on AWS Getting Started Guide manual.
You can get manual @ http://www.info.teradata.com/edownload.cfm?itemid=160780004
When you state that "The AWS instance state shows the instance is unreachable" this sounds like a problem with the deploy from AWS side. I would drop the instance and redeploy if that is the case or contact Amzon support.
Also double check that you opened port 22 to your IP address or your compainies IP address. When it is a company IP address it is usually autodetected in the drop down menu. It is usually not the exact IP address you see from ipconfig. Is there any indication that your system is visible to ping or ssh?
To connect the instance, please check follows from AWS instance console.
1. The Instance State should "running" state
2. The Status Checks shoule "2/2 checks passed" state
- Need to wait with patience until state has completed. Refresh browser to get the latest state.
3. You should have the valid Key file (.pem) that specified in Key Name.
4. You should set valid Public IP in your terminal application.
Displayed syslog message "ROOT-BE1 has gone 187 days without being checked, check forced." is working as designed.
(Forced check filesystem is enabled when reboot)
Thank you for the replies, i tried them all and was still having an issue. However, after leaving the instance up for about an hour while trying to debug and write this reply, finally my ssh attempt connected. I restarted the instance too, but after about an hour it seemed to finish the startup and allow ssh.
The system logs shows that it made it past the fsck and other checks. I wasn't patient enough i guess ;)
For about an hour the system showed 1/2 checks passed, the failed one is Instance Status Checks: These checks monitor your software and network configuration for this instance. Instance reachability check failed at July 20, 2016 at 7:01:00 PM UTC-6 (26 minutes ago).
The ssh error was $ ssh -i MYkey1.pem ec2-user@<mypublicIp>ssh: connect to host <mypublicIp> port 22: Bad file number
Have the same issue and I think @tisenhart is right. It's fs check that takes so long, I didn't have the issue before. I would like to deploy an instance via an automation tool, so this is not going to work. Teraform should redeploy AMIs that don't require fs checks.
Thank you call for feedback, redeployment of AMIs are under way to address this.
Any way you could add cloud init to the image? :-)
The same issue for me. Any Teradata ami's at AWS could not pass checks after launching. It goes on for 9 days. Instances that had been launched before 9 days ago are working fine.
Please let us all know when this issue will be address.

Published at Monday, September 17th, 2018 - 12:03:25 PM. Kitchen. By Roesia Lemoine.
With that in mind, it is important to mention that Masterclass Kitchens features five distinct collections of high–quality kitchen cabinets: the modern collection, classic, the Shaker kitchens, the inframe kitchen as well as the handleless kitchens, the latter being quite popular amongst owners of minimalist/modernly decorated homes.
In the days before electricity changed everything in our lives, family kitchens in modestly sized homes were large but simply appointed rooms. They contained a solid fuel heat source for cooking (a fireplace or a coal or wood stove) and a built–in sink, with or without running water. Everything else was a piece of furniture. The icebox was elegantly made of wood, as were the central dining/work table, cupboards, pie safes and pantries. The family kitchen was the central work/social place of the home too where family members, sometimes in the company of friends performed most domestic chores and socialized with each other.

der Spargel - As Brexit nears, Britain grows increasingly hostile to EU citizens. Oh, so it's not about hating foreigners?:
The Pasieczna family moved to Great Yarmouth 12 years ago from their hometown of Wroclaw. There were jobs here, with the rural hinterlands dotted with farms, feed lots and meat processing plants. The Polish newcomers felt welcome and settled in quickly. They painted their living room mint green, hung deer antlers on the wall and bought two Yorkshire terriers. When Agnieszka gave birth to a daughter, she named her Diana, "like the princess." Life was good - until the summer of 2016.
It started with little things. "This is England, speak English," said one woman to Agnieszka as she was speaking Polish with her children. "Go back to your own country," Diana was told in school. Then, this spring, her neighbor mounted the first of the cameras on the wall and said: "I'm going to take care of this damn Polish problem!" After several instances of intimidation, Agnzieszka called the police. She was told: "If you don't like the cameras, maybe you should move away."
In Stockport, a car dealership wouldn't let a German who had lived in the town for 20 years to test drive a car, arguing that the man's driver's license was no longer valid due to Brexit. Universities are refraining from hiring professors from Spain or the Netherlands in anticipation of Brexit. Banks are refusing loans, landlords are illegally demanding to see British passports. Across the country, people with Romanian, Lithuanian or other accents have had their windows smashed.
Theresa May, in her previous role as interior minister, made it abundantly clear that she intended to reduce net immigration to "below 100,000." And she was willing to use any means necessary to achieve that, those close to her said, adding that it seemed to be the only issue she was really passionate about.
May announced back then that she wanted to create a "hostile environment" for illegal immigrants. The residency permit application form was bloated from 12 to 85 complicated pages and the process was made more expensive. In 2013, she sent out billboard vans onto the streets of Britain reading: "In the UK illegally? Go home or face arrest!" It was the same tune that the Brexiteers played three years later: Foreigners, whether they were from Brussels or Bratislava, made things in the UK worse than they should be. In future it should be Britain First.
In practice, however, things look quite a bit different - as can be seen in the case of Klaudia Orska, a Polish woman who has remained remarkably cheerful despite the bureaucratic odyssey she's been forced to go through.
The 45-year-old has lived for 11 years in the UK. She works for an apartment realtor, pays her taxes and speaks perfect English. In May, she sent off her application for a residency permit to the Home Office. It consisted of hundreds of pages, including notarized documents, photographs, spreadsheets - an entire life reduced to 3 kilograms of paper.
The package arrived and the application fee was deducted from her account. Then nothing happened. Radio silence. After three months, she was sent back all the documents along with a rejection notice and was told to prepare to leave the country. The justification cited for the rejection was her alleged failure to send passport photographs. Even though the photographs were attached to the pile of papers - a pile that seemed to not have been touched.
Orska sent the package back with a complaint, and reapplied. Three weeks later, she was rejected again, this time because her bank account details were allegedly missing and it was not possible to deduct the fee. "It's like Monty Python," she says and even manages to laugh about it. Who knows for how much longer, though. She now finds herself threatened with deportation to Poland.

I wrote this letter the night before Marty's birthday, Dec. 5, as Richard and I sat in bed talking and laughing and crying (only I cried) about how much we love our little buddy. And, although it seems impossible, I think that in just shy of 2 months we love him even more than we did that night.
Dear Marty Boy,
Happy birthday! You are 2 years old today (at exactly 4:17 PM). Though I still call you my baby. You will always be my baby. And you think it's funny when I call you that. I love making you laugh, and it's not hard to do. I love the way you like to snuggle when you're first waking up, either in the morning or after a nap. You still go after Daddy's ears like they might fall off his head at any moment and you just have to get in all the time with them that you can before they do. And now, you've started nuzzling your face into the crook of my elbows. I've stretched out many a long-sleeved shirt in order to bare my elbows for you, but I don't mind.
You have more energy than anyone I know, and I love watching you use it. You're always running, you rarely walk from point A to point B, and you jump more than anyone/thing I've ever seen. You're a really good jumper, too - on the couch, the bed, the floor, chairs, stairs, you name it, you'll jump on it. And you usually want us to watch you do it, too. We love it when you say, "Daddy/Mommy, watch!" Your jump is actually also part of your collection of signature dance moves. Spinning in circles, shaking your booty and wiggling your hips, waving your arms around and flapping them like chicken wings are all in there, too, but the jump is really where it's at. You're currently perfecting your "spin move" and incorporating it into as many parts of the day as you can: as we walk/run to the car, walk down the sidewalk, or jumping on the couch. You even make your cars do spin moves as you drive them around the coffee table and furniture. Speaking of cars, you're kind of obsessed. Not only with cars, though. Tractors, trucks, buses, bikes, trains, and especially ambulances are all part of the obsession. I think it's safe to say that you almost always have a car in at least one of your hands, whether you're in the tub, climbing a ladder to a slide, or reading a book. Your cars/trucks/tractors/trains are never far from reach. Racing. Did I mention the racing? You can run from one end of the driveway and back again for, well, probably days at a time. And the great thing is, you want us to do it with you. We also race around the house when it's too cold outside, and when you need a break, you lay down and say you need to do some "feeping" (sleeping), and then 5 seconds later we're at it again. I'm glad you want us to be a part of your races and your fun.
You're so smart. I know I'm biased because you're my son, but I just think you are so smart! You can count to ten (usually on your own terms, not often on command), and you do best when we play hide and seek. Hide and seek is pretty fun to play with you because you love to find and be found - if you think it is taking us too long to find you, you start growling to draw us in, or just jump out and do that irresistible growl-laugh you do when you're really excited. Back to counting: you're favorite numbers seem to be six and seven, but Daddy and I have both heard you count from 1 to 10 without skipping any numbers. You have a memory like an elephant. We check out new books every week or two when we go to story time at the library, and before we return them you've got them memorized. I know this because as I read them I will pause at the end of every other sentence and you will finish it for me. And you will even mimic the way that I say them (like growling when I say "vroom," or making your voice higher to say "hooray!"). You're getting so good with colors - you've know green, blue, red, orange, yellow, pink and purple. Even if you tell us that most things are "boon" (blue). You're a singer, too, you know. You can't really carry a tune quite yet, but you love when we sing songs, and you'll help us out with the words just like when we read stories. Baa baa black sheep is probably your all-time favorite, and the one that you request most often, but you also love "ring around the rosy," "popcorn popping on the apricot tree," "once there was a snowman," "I am a child of God," and "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam," among others. You love to look at books and be read to. Your favorite books right now are "Bob's birthday," "Go, Dog, Go," Mr. Doodle had a Poodle," "Green eggs and ham," "Monsters, Inc.," and the musical book of nursery rhymes.
For only being 2, you sure have a lot of friends. Every morning when you look outside and see the Hyers' house across the street, you immediately start asking to play with Hudson. He may be two years older than you, but you guys play together pretty well. And little Esther loves playing with you, too. You always have fun when we meet the Johnson twins at the Tree House Museum, and it's pretty clear that you love playing with Emma while Mom is visiting teaching. My favorite is watching you play with Maddie ("Mannie"), though. You run and laugh and play and wrestle and dance better with her than any other friend, and it always sounds like you're being tortured when we have to leave her house. I'm glad you have so many little buddies, and I hope that it stays that way. Good friends are important. They matter. I think you're also starting to make friends in Nursery at church. You have come so far since that first awful day at Nursery, when we were both in tears. You still don't like going to the church, I think because you're worried we will leave you, but as soon as you walk in that door and take your teachers the star with your picture on it, you're happy to be there. And we love picking you up - it is the highlight of being at church for us. It was only about two months ago that we asked you what you did, and you actually answered us - you told us that you sang songs, and played with toys and bubbles. It melted our hearts, and we were so glad and relieved that you were happy about it. When we're pretending to be on the phone, you always call one of your friends (usually Hudson or Maddie). You ask them how they are doing, and then you tell them about elephants. Even when we are really on the phone with someone, like Daddy or grandpa or grandma, you almost always tell them about elephants. Sometimes we haven't seen or talked about them for days, but it seems they are just always on your mind.
Your favorite foods include pizza, pesto pasta, pickles, pears, oranges (canned or fresh, you love them all!), macaroni and cheese, blueberries, quesadillas, cheese of any kind, hummus (you don't even need chips), tomatoes, goldfish/fishy crackers, bacon, fruit snacks and gummy vitamins, juice, suckers, ice cream, and popcorn. Oh my, you love popcorn! You call it "pop pop," and we love making it for you when we have a family movie night. We also love that you love movies. It used to be that you only had eyes for Elmo, but your movie interests have expanded to include the likes of animated films as well. We've gone through long stretches where you'll watch only one movie, but thus far they've been really good ones: Wreck it Ralph, Monsters, Inc., Cars, Frozen, and currently you're quite smitten with Tangled. I swore, before I had you, that I'd never let my kids watch movies. What did I know? We love watching them with you, and seeing you be excited by a story or character. We love cuddling up on the couch as a little family, and then dancing like crazy to the music that plays during the credits at the end. You also love to dance like crazy to Daddy playing guitar, but only if it's "loud" and "fast." You get frustrated when he starts to slow things down or do some finger picking.
Your smile is to die for. It was Labor Day weekend when you started to really cheese it. You squint your eyes as much as possible, scrunch up your cheeks, and grin like the silly, goofy boy that you are at your core. And now when we ask you for a smile, that is what we get. It never ever disappoints us.
Some things that you really don't like are brushing your teeth, having your hair washed, getting in the car seat (sometimes), when Daddy stops throwing you high into the air, and coming inside before you're done playing.
You love dogs, but still get a little nervous around them. You love cats so much that I think you might hug one to death someday. I will try to prevent that for all our sakes. You love jumping on your bed naked, and you're starting to tell me when you poop and want to sit on the potty. You love your grandparents on both sides. You still suck your left thumb and rub your right ear (and we still think that's ok). You pick your nose and eat the boogers you get out if we don't snatch it away first. You have one volume: LOUD. You love to help with laundry, and by help I mean make a mess of it. You like to drive your cars on the inside of the dishwasher. You laugh pretty hard when we try to kiss you at the same time (3-kiss!), and you love to separate Mommy and Daddy when they kiss each other. Most nights it takes both of us to get you to sleep, Daddy first, then Mommy. You've got a great throw (no matter what it is that you're throwing). You love to help Daddy play the guitar, and you like to use picks to do it. You also love to sit on Dad's lap and play the drums, and "help" Mommy vacuum.
More than anything, you're a sweet, smart, funny, happy, energetic, and loveable little boy. You make us the happiest and proudest parents in the world, and you occupy the biggest space in our hearts. Thinking about how much I love you brings tears to my eyes, and a smile to my face. Thanks for making our lives what they are - it's sometimes hard to remember what they were before you got here, because they are so much better and fuller now.
Happy birthday, buddy. We love you.

2006 Jeep Commander
- Published: 26/07/2006
- Views: 2662
We kiwi car fans don't seem to realise how lucky we are.New car prices are dropping in relation to income – it currently takes 35 weeks of average gross wage to buy an average car: in 1997 it was 55 weeks.
Given used imports, we've got a fantastic range of prices and models to choose from; and given deregulation the new-car distributors can import however many models it's cost-effective for them to offer. Which means there's almost endless choice.
Take Jeep. You can buy a Grand Cherokee in 5.7-litre petrol or 3.0 CRD form for $78,990. Or, if you want a couple more seats, you can buy a Commander for $1000 more.
The Commander might seem better value for money but, hey, we haven't all got five kids, so why make everyone buy the same car? There's a little more to it than that, of course, as I found on one extensive South Island odyssey.
At first glance, you'd have to say, only its mother could love the Commander. Chrysler has almost made a virtue of Jeep's rugged, function – before-form appearance, and it's emphasised here. It looks almost as if the designers had a Grand Cherokee drawing, thought "add seats and luggage", took a ruler, drew an up-sloping roof line and slab sides to fit the concept, and then built it.
From some angles the thing is frankly ugly, though it certainly advertises what it is
– a roomy off-roader.
It's based on the Grand Cherokee, with a lengthened cabin to fit the extra twin seats that fold out from the boot floor. That rising roofline allows theatre seating – each row sits slightly higher so passengers get a better view out. Thus the Commander is 70mm taller than its Grand Cherokee sibling and has a truly capacious load space, further expanded by the sub-floor storage bin behind the third row.
With all seven seats in use, there are 170 litres of luggage space. But with the third row folded it's 973.5, and with both rows folded, there's almost two square metres! The thing seems to swallow luggage, so it comes as a surprise to find Commander is only 350mm longer than the Grand Cherokee.
This car's high, square profile is tied down by those roof rails, which flow over the rear to become prominent grab handles.
The Commander is powered by either the 5.7-litre V8 Hemi or the 3.0-litre V6 CRD common rail diesel. Both units are shared with the Grand Cherokee and the imposing Chrysler 300C sedan. That means the petrol Hemi will cut four cylinders under light throttle loads to improve fuel economy. It really does work; and it works more often than you might think (even at round town speeds, for example). And no, it's not possible to tell when those cylinders are taking a break. Chrysler is proud of these engines. It likes to point out that at 160kW and 510Nm, the diesel's got more power and torque than the equivalent Land Rover or Toyota Prado, and a faster acceleration claim, yet thirst is apparently lower.
Chrysler says that at 240kW and 500Nm the petrol's got more power and torque than the equivalent Landie or Toyota – and a faster 0-100 acceleration time. Jeep can't claim the economy high ground here, but 15.5 litres/100 for a 5.7-litre V8 isn't bad next to the 4.4-litre Landcruiser's 15. Both engines drive through five-speed auto gearboxes, and both versions use Jeep's clever Quadra-Drive four-wheel drive system.
So Commander is permanently in four-wheel drive, putting torque to those wheels with grip – which means if three wheels are slipping, you can still drive out of trouble. As long as one tyre's got some traction, you'll keep moving. There is low range so big though it is, this Jeep will head into the rough. Which is what we did, punctuating an extended road drive that revealed yes, 'quiet steel' technology (three layers of bonded metal) does seem to reduce noise. And yes, electronic roll mitigation does seem to reduce the SUV's characteristic body roll. On road the Commander feels notably more composed than the Cherokee I drove recently – with less roll, and less bounce and shimmy when you're really pressing on.
The petrol V8 also impressed off-road. You expect a diesel's torque-at-low-revs recipe to work well when chuffing carefully through the rough – but this V8 does the same. In low range, low gear, it plunks around steep terrain as happily as the diesel and, as ever, Quadra drive is apparently idiot-proof. It's also appreciated that you can turn ESP off completely – ie to control momentum on a steep, slippery uphill.
Meanwhile the interior design suits the car's character. It looks rugged and I like the little design touches like the allen head bolts Jeep says are functional. All the seats are leather, the fronts are heated. And nice bits include stuff like the flip-up rear glass if you're just throwing a smaller bag in and the fact the third row is taken seriously – with its own cup holders and three-zone air conditioning plus curtain airbags.
I do have a few quibbles. Where Land Rover has improved its formerly poor interior ergonomics – particularly for items like switchgear – Chrysler drops the ball in a few odd places. Like the 300C, there's no reach adjust for the steering wheel and yes, it does matter, because the seat sits high. I'm an average-sized woman, and it was hard to get comfortable.
The centre-rear headrest obscures the rear view, and the handbrake is mounted on the passenger's side of the centre console. There's no useful grab handle for the front passenger either, bar the one on the A-pillar which is too far forward to help in rough off-road going. Still, it looks good, and it's well specced. There are ABS-equipped brakes, of course. Traction control and ESP, tyre pressure monitors, rain-sensing wipers, a tow rating of 3500kg.
I don't have five kids, and I wouldn't need an SUV this size. But if I wanted a Jeep Cherokee, even with two kids I'd look at the extra $1000, and I'd take the Commander every time.

I've been attending a chiropractor for over a year now. I started attending in my first year of teaching, because I had some pretty constant pain in my back due to an old work injury. At first, there was so much pain, because all of my bones and muscles were being put back in proper working order. But once I got used to it, I started seeing results and started living a life that was less painful. I've been going for regular adjustments since.
In May, I got busy. Like really busy. So busy that I forgot my appointments. I went a whole month without an adjustment. Suddenly, pain started creeping in. I ignored it for a few days, until I tried to teach a whole day with a pain in my back. Enough was enough. I went to the chiropractor, he straightened me out, sent me on my way. I was sore and tender for a day or two, and then I got back to where I needed to be.
When I go to the chiropractor, I first sign in, and then I go lay on this massaging bed, and I researched some about these things, and while they feel good, they're designed to loosen you up before your adjustment, so that when you're being adjusted, the muscles are open to being moved and adjusted. If you don't do it, (and I speak from experience), the chiropractor visit is almost traumatic to your body, and it hurts, really badly afterwards. When it's my turn, my chiropractor calls my name, greets me and then instructs me to lie down and he puts pressure where I have problem spots and adjusts me as I need them.
Sometimes, I have to go more frequently, simply because I'm experiencing some unusual pain. Typically brought on by my own bad habits. But he adjusts me just the same and then, I go on my merry way.
If I were you, I would be wondering, "okay…what does this have to do with anything?" I appreciate your patience as you continue to read.
Honestly, as I was talking to my friend today in Pages, I realized something. It was like a God moment or something.
God is in the heart-adjustment business. Like a chiropractor, we must encounter God regularly. We must make it a priority. And when we miss an "appointment" (so to speak), we suffer more than anything else. And if I am honest, the dedication and the commitment to keeping my appointments with God are very difficult. If I am honest, it seems hard for me to carve out the time that I need. It shouldn't be, but I suppose God is working on that with me right now. Anyways, back on subject. The time we spend with God is time that he is working on us and working in us. Whether it is to help change our hearts, speak and teach us through scripture or song, or simply to grace us with his presence, there are important moments we miss out on, if we do not take the time to invest with God.
A critique I have of the modern church is on how we approach discipleship. Simply put, I believe that discipleship is the growth process that happens after we experience salvation. Some people call it sanctification. Whatever you call it, the fact of the matter is that the church is so focused on making sure that people are "saved" that we don't teach our new believers what it means! We tell them that they need to become a Christian, and we tell them that if they do that, they won't be the same person anymore and they won't go to heaven. Unfortunately, the reality is, unless we do some real time with God, being saved is just an event, and it's not a true change of the heart. Unless we spend time in learning about God, and in cultivating that relationship, we will never be different from the us that is "unsaved." What is the point of calling people to salvation, if we don't know what the benefits to salvation are, besides avoiding hell? If we do not claim discipleship as a passion, then growth does not happen, and our lives are unchanged. We are travel agents that have no idea what we are selling.
I've been asked, How does God change hearts? The answer lies in grace. Grace is far too complex of a subject to deal with now, but know this, that our response to God is grace. God moving in us is grace. God changing us is grace. God does it because of grace. We study the bible because of grace, we pray because of grace. All is grace. Life is grace. God does the work, but if we do anything, does that invalidate grace? I don't think so. But we also can't wait around just expecting a million dollars to plop in our laps!
When God starts preparing us, we must remain open, expectant. We must allow ourselves to be used and to grow. So many people scare and shy away from growth. We want to become superheroes but we don't want to put in the work.
The fact is, in order to grow closer to God, we have to experience pain. We have to. Growth does not happen when things are good. But we can't just allow that pain to deter us from God, but to motivate us to cling to him and keep returning, knowing that the pain is there to benefit us in the long-term or to benefit someone else. The chiropractor knows what he's doing, and we just gotta trust that at the end of it, it's all going to be okay.
But we don't like to do that, do we? We don't like pain, and although we want to grow and desire to grow, we don't want to grow. But we gotta let God be God and us be us, and just let go of the fear and start to trust. Because if we trust, then we can see God do great things in us and through us.

Java as a Future Technology for 2018
As the new year has arrived, so a lot of predictions have been made for the technical world, including Java. The tech-savvies of the industry are expecting so many technical changes in the coming year. It is true as well that this year will bring new concepts and platforms for the technical professionals.
Java experts like Java CTO, John Duimovich, and IBM engineer has also predicted the Java future and gave their thoughts on the technology, which are discussed below in this article.
As per the experts, a few of the existing languages and concepts of the Java platform will bring a boom in the technology and some other may affect the market as well. So, let us see that which of the existing concepts will remain in future and will take over the Java world?
A list of concepts that will take over the Java world in near future
1). Eclipse will Still bloom
Eclipse Foundation will be highlighted more this year, along with its key projects like MicroProfile and EE4J. As the open community has been involved much in Java and its related projects, so it has brought an accelerated innovation for the language. Java developers will keep an eye on Eclipse this year in 2018. So, we can say that this year Eclipse will be a key platform for Java developers and many projects will be developed through this.
2). Accelerated container convergence
Containers and runtime utilitieshave made the development and management quite easier for the Java professionals and made the Java applications tightly coupled. Even containers can be optimized so that they can bring seamless management and configurations for the Java applications.
The easier wiring and consistent memory management between the Java containers and constructs provide a number of benefits to the Java developers. They can design or develop the efficient and leveraging Java applications. Java runtime is just another form of Java containers through which the tightly coupled Java applications can be developed.
3). Kotlin next upcoming Java Language
Kotlin is popular from last many years among Java developers and they are using it for a plenty of major Java applications. Concise coding syntax and the compatibility of Kotlin with Java has made it popular among Java developers. Now in the new version of Kotlin, there is a feature due to which it will also support Android, which in turn itself a popular platform for mobile technology, so we can say that in 2018, Kotlin will grasp the Java world and many applications of Java will use it as the base.
4). Faster Innovation through New Release Model
Java or Oracle keep on launching new features in every six months for Java, which is quite faster. Such frequent and faster changes in the technology mean a lot for business organizations and developers both. Java has the solution to every problem, so the applications can be developed in this language for small, medium or large enterprises. Through Java, even new problems can be solved by the newly introduced features of Oracle so even new technical concepts can be incorporated in Java applications.
Not only small but large organizations as well can use the newly launched and even the old Java features and implement their business logic in a well-versed manner. As the language has the community support so whenever a new feature is launched by the organization, a complete solution of each and every problem is taken out and the feature is utilized by the developers.
5). Serverless Concept will reshape Java
There is a huge demand for serverless platforms. Initially, the serverless concept emerged as a consumption model, but it is being expanded from a simple and event programming model to a flow-based composite model. As cloud developers want to shift their focus to the application and they need not worry about servers. The developers can easily use this concept and make the project faster and optimized.
Java runtimes need to be optimized and they need to be re-designed and re-developed for this new serverless world. Newly add-on features of Java bring a drastic change in platform and can make the projects even efficient and compatible with almost each and every newly emerged technology.
As per industry experts, Java future will steadily develop in coming years with many new concepts and directions. Many new concepts of this technology like hibernating; spring and Java EE will again stabilize the market and bring a drastic change in the world of Java developers.
In the coming time, there are many new concepts which will emerge in this technology like IoT, DevOps, Java, Mobile, Cloud etc. There is a plenty of scope in this technology to grow; the technology will introduce new features from cloud to DevOps to IoT. Use of such technologies will provide much security and features to the organizations.
In 2018, there will be more automation and specific to mobile and cloud technologies. New versions and features of Java may bring several changes to the Java applications. Even the Java programmers may have to learn these new concepts to become a proficient programmer and as a result of which they can become future-ready for this platform.
As Oracle is bringing continuous changes every day so as the developers need to update their concepts and knowledge so that they can be aware of the new features and develop the industry related business apps.
Final Words:
As far as Java is concerned,this is a future-oriented programming language for decades. The launch of new features and compatibility with each and every platform has been the key factor for the Java popularity.
Java has been on boon and its support to every platform and availability of skilled Java developers are the reasons due to which maximum business organizations use it for their products.
Java has brought a number of new concepts in which the most important one is the security of applications. So, even in coming years as the business organizations want to make their applications more secure, Java will be the primary requirement by the serious users.

We cannot thank The Waterfall enough for how amazing they made our special day! Every single person on their staff took the time to personally talk to me and make sure that my husband and I were well taken care of! Our event coordinator, Rachael, made us feel incredibly at ease after some unforeseen circumstances and she even made sure that my favorite food was in the bridal suite as I was getting ready! Wow! She is an incredible person and I would recommend her to anyone! David even took the time to sit with us and make sure that all of our questions were answered. I can't stress enough how comfortable everyone made us feel, which is so important during a time like this. They knew exactly what they were doing and had a plan for everything. It was a relief to know that every situation was handled, and professionally at that! I haven't even started about the food yet. Our guests continually told us that they couldn't believe how not only was there such a large amount of food, but everything tasted EXCELLENT! Not only that, but they also told us that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to, from the gorgeous venue, to the incredible food, to the organized and friendly staff! Thank you thank you thank you to everyone at the Waterfall for the perfect wedding of our dreams!!!!

For North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, the concept of "gender identity" doesn't make legal sense. It's not only unclear and ill-defined, he said, it also upends the long-held definitions many Americans have had about gender and traditions of modesty and privacy.
And for most of the supporters of North Carolina's controversial "bathroom bill," gender identity, if it has any meaning at all, is a matter of biology and clearly marked at birth.
Less than a decade ago, such a position about gender identity would hardly have generated the maelstrom now centered over North Carolina. But as the nation continues down a path of profound social upheaval over matters of sexuality and personal identity, opponents of the law see older notions of immutable, biological gender as the root of discrimination.
Indeed, over the past few years, American attitudes toward the country's estimated 700,000 transgender residents have undergone a significant shift. From pop culture to the country's business culture to the significant changes in many state federal policies, transgender people have emerged from the shadows of American life to become more visible. And like gays and lesbians decades ago, such visibility began to affect the country's changing social mores.
"In the bigger picture, I think the status of transgender individuals is sort of what the status of lesbian and gay individuals was 30-35 years ago," says Steve Sanders, professor at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law in Bloomington and an expert on issues pertaining to sexuality and the law. "Among many people, the phenomenon of gender identity is still frequently misunderstood – just like the phenomenon of sexual orientation was misunderstood."
But the nation's cultural rifts were laid bare Monday when Governor McCrory, a conservative Republican up for reelection this year, doubled down to defend his state's controversial law, known as HB 2, which requires that all individuals use only those facilities that correspond to their gender at birth.
His administration filed a preemptive lawsuit against the United States Justice Department early Monday, arguing in no uncertain terms that "transgender status" is not a protected category under the nation's civil rights laws. The Department's definition of gender identity, the lawsuit said, was a "baseless and blatant overreach" that stemmed from a "radical reinterpretation" of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which neither mentions nor defines the status of transgender people."This is now a national issue that applies to every state and it needs to be resolved at the federal level," McCrory said in a statement.
Hours later, Attorney General Loretta Lynch filed a countersuit, saying North Carolina "created state-sponsored discrimination against transgender individuals, who simply seek to engage in the most private of functions in a place of safety and security – a right taken for granted by most of us."
Yet with such profoundly different understandings of both gender identity and the interpretation of civil rights law, in some ways, the suit and countersuit spoke past each other on Monday.
"What we must not do – what we must never do – is turn on our neighbors, our family members, our fellow Americans, for something they cannot control, and deny what makes them human," Attorney General Lynch said at a press conference announcing the Justice Department's action. "This is why none of us can stand by when a state enters the business of legislating identity and insists that a person pretend to be something or someone they are not."
McCrory and other supporters of the law, however, say almost the exact same thing. The provision that requires all individuals to use facilities that correspond to their birth certificates, they say, is meant to protect young girls, especially, from predatory heterosexual men pretending to be something or someone they are not in order to commit a crime.
Several media organizations have launched investigations into such concerns and have not found any confirmed incidents in the US. There was one in Canada.
"If you attempt to take seriously the phenomenon of gender identity transition, and simply look and see that there are no documented cases of anyone abusing the idea of transgender status in order to be predatory or commit some kind of crime, it's hard to take these laws seriously," says Professor Sanders.
The clash comes as a majority of Americans, nearly six in 10, say they oppose laws like those in North Carolina and Mississippi, which require transgender individuals to use facilities that match their gender at birth, according to a CNN/ORC survey released on Monday.
The survey also found that 75 percent of Americans favor laws that guarantee equal protection for transgender people in jobs, housing, and public accommodations.
The civil rights concerns underpinning North Carolina's "bathroom bill" controversy go beyond conflicting ideas about gender identity, legal observers say.
The North Carolina bill was introduced and passed in a special session in March, after the city of Charlotte passed its own antidiscrimination provisions, including allowing transgender individuals to use the bathroom that matched their gender identity. Introduced and passed in a single day – and prompting Democrats in the Senate to walk out in protest – HB 2 struck down Charlotte's ordinances and made it illegal for any municipality to pass its own antidiscrimination laws. The state's protections do not cover sexual orientation or gender identity.
"The bathroom provisions of the bill have generated all the publicity, but I find the effective repeal of all [local] antidiscrimination laws in North Carolina much more shocking, much more suggestive of a legislature acting out of raw hostility to all minority groups and even to women," says Douglas Laycock, professor of law at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
But he faults the Justice Department and transgender advocates, too, for not appreciating the significant concerns mixed locker rooms can bring many North Carolina residents.
"From a common sense perspective, if you appear to be female and are wearing women's clothes, you can't really use the men's room," Professor Laycock says, saying the same of transgender males. "Locker and shower rooms seem to me much more difficult…. Some kind of stalls or cubicles may be essential there. But the principle of the thing is being treated as non-negotiable by the gender identity movement, and apparently, by the administration."

We're having a cheese-cracker renaissance in our house. It started when I sent Gus out to pick up something to take to a party. A grown-up party. I thought he was going to come back from the store with a nice bottle of wine. Maybe some fancy cheese. Nope. He bought Goldfish.
I was more than a little embarrassed. Our hosts also seemed skeptical. I decanted the paper bag into a bowl and ran away. But guess what? The Goldfish were a huge hit. At first one or two people started nibbling tentatively. Then a few more. Soon everyone was eating them compulsively and sharing childhood Goldfish memories. They made the party. And we all realized that they were much more delicious than we had ever remembered.
So now we're in the habit of picking up the occasional package of Goldfish or Cheez-Its for our own snack pantry. And they really hit that pre-dinner sweet spot. But, well, you know me. I'm a baker. I couldn't just keep buying store-bought cheese crackers and feel good about it. I needed to make my own contribution to the cheese-cracker revival of 2014.
Good thing the people at Food52 are into that kind of stuff. They asked me to bake up a homemade version of Cheez-its for their Small Batch column. Turns out the from-scratch-its are even better. Well of course they are: real cheese! Click here for the recipe and I promise you'll have a new party snack worth celebrating.

With a blocky shape and beefcake styling, the Atlas offers family-friendly guest and freight area without even a tip of a mom-mobile image. It's not the fastest or the most fuel-efficient mid-size crossover, however this greatest Volkswagen makes its stars by using usefulness that's difficult to beat, in addition to a lithe chassis, luxurious flight convenience, and comfy seats for approximately 7. Innovation likewise takes spotlight: the Atlas can be had with the current active safety functions, infotainment screens with crisp graphics, as well as a stylish reconfigurable digital gauge cluster. A prolonged, transferable service warranty and rates that damages a number of the section's most popular options are all extra plumes in the Atlas's quiver. 2018 Volkswagen Atlas
2018 Volkswagen Atlas review
The Atlas is Volkswagen's very first (and long-awaited) venture into the three-row crossover rodeo and is an entirely brand-new model from north to south. A stocky, squared-off body and extra-large measurements provide it the interior area had to take on recognized household SUVs such as the Honda Pilot and the Dodge Durango.
Volkswagen has actually taken the keep-it-simple-stupid technique by restricting the variety of significant alternative groups and focusing rather on 4 unique trims (S, SE, SEL, and SEL Premium), each with gradually more functions. We 'd choose the midrange SE trim, which costs $3090 more than the entry-level S model however includes a hodgepodge of bonus that we discover worth ponying up for:
– Keyless ignition with passive entry
– Heated front seats with power changes for the motorist
– 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with 3 extra USB ports
– Blind-spot screen with rear cross-traffic alert
For another $1800, the Atlas SE can be geared up with VW's 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system, however we 'd stick to the basic front-wheel-drive setup, which keeps the bottom line at an affordable $35,915.
Engine and Specs 2018 Volkswagen Atlas
Toss the test results out the window: The Atlas's V-6 engine pulls this huge lug around town simply great. A slick-shifting automated transmission deals with gearchanges with silky aplomb– though it is often hesitant to downshift in lower-speed city driving.
The Atlas shares its 3.6-liter V-6 engine with the two-row Touareg SUV; here, it provides 276 horse power and owns the front or all 4 wheels through an eight-speed automated transmission. The V-6 feels and sounds refined, transferring nary a shiver into the cabin.
Though the Atlas relatively roamed from absolutely no to 60 miles per hour in our screening, out on the roadway it seldom feels underpowered; nevertheless, the transmission is in some cases sluggish to downshift for additional combining or passing power. Changing to the Sport setting resolves this issue however produces another: the engine remains injury up expensive at common suburban-traffic speeds.
All this has us questioning how well the 235-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four– set up to sign up with the lineup in the fall of 2017– will encourage the huge Atlas. The turbo 4 will be fitted to the lighter front-drive designs just.
Its bricklike shape provides the Atlas a strong, off-road-ready look and makes it possible for a space-efficient interior. Its plus size might be intimidating to some, however from behind the wheel it feels more maneuverable than its bulk recommends.
Regardless of its spacious interior and great deals of cargo-storage area, the Atlas's exterior measurements are barely the biggest in the class. It's huge, however the Dodge Durango is longer and taller while the Honda Pilot is larger than both of those eighteen-wheelers.
The huge VW's blocky, macho look is classified up with basic LED headlamps and daytime running lights along with tailpipes poking through the rear bumper. All Atlases feature elegant aluminum wheels and roofing system rails for additional cargo-hauling choices; SEL and SEL Premium designs include a huge scenic sunroof.

Engagement soars with DomiCopter
Domino's social presence was stalling. So we were challenged with re-igniting their fans and creating a buzz around the brand.
As part of Domino's Extraordinary Deliveries campaign, we made a 60-second film to show that we were testing innovative ways of delivering pizza – with the DomiCopter drone.
Originally intended for release on April Fool's Day, we thought, nah, everyone does stuff then. So we held back until June, and we weren't disappointed. We seeded the film on Domino's UK YouTube channel, Facebook wall and Twitter account.
