Oil supply and turbo timers
The biggest area of concern in the turbo is the oil supply. Insufficient oil (especially journal bearing turbos) or excess oil (especially ball bearing turbos) or dirty oil may wear out the bearings, causing wear and shaft play in the turbo. Because of the high temperatures seen at the turbo, the oil may also break down faster than a comparable non turbo car. Synthetic oil is recommended for turbo cars because it doesn't break down as quickly as conventional oil. Because the best engine oils for a diesel engine are synthetics, this is another reason to use synthetic in turbo and diesel applications if you are not already doing so.
In addition, since the turbo gets hot when running, an engine idling period of 5 seconds before every engine shutdown is enough to let fresh oil circulate to the turbo bearings. If you were driving hard and hot, a 1 minute idling period or a few minutes of sensible driving before shut down should be enough to let the turbo cool down and receive fresh oil. If the turbo is too hot and does not receive cooler oil upon shutdown, the oil could become burnt and "coking" may occur. This is more of an issue with non synthetic oils.
Another issue is letting fresh coolant circulate to the CHRA. After engine shut down, the coolant heats and expands in the cartridge if the CHRA is too hot. This creates a natural circulation to drain away the heat and bring in fresh coolant. The reason it doesn't boil off is the same reason engine coolant doesn't boil off - the engine coolant is a sealed system. Some cars have auxiliary pumps that circulate coolant after engine shut down. There would be no benefit to this on a TDI since the turbos are oil cooled only and not water cooled, and because of the lower temperatures that you should see during engine shut down due to a diesel engine and from good shut down practices. Even on gasoline water cooled turbos, if it didn't come from the factory with an auxiliary pump, I would not add one since the engineers didn't put one there and because there is some natural convection of coolant and oil. I do not recommend rerouting the oil or coolant lines in your turbo unless you are sure they are routed properly. I also recommend never using radiator "stop leak" products because they can gum up and clog the turbo coolant lines.
You should also not install any kind of inline oil prefilter upstream of the turbo oil supply line. Some newer Subaru gas turbo cars suffered destroyed turbos from oil starvation. These were traced to a design change consisting of an inline oil filters added at the factory - these became clogged, causing oil starvation. Here is the reference.
The other concern is mounting angle. If you've seen turbos on engines they're all mounted so that the shaft is parallel to the ground. I haven't seen specs from VW but Garrett says their turbos must be mounted below 15o tilt. Beyond this can cause bearing wear and drain issues.
Use of VW approved engine oils in the TDI is also recommended to ensure proper lubrication to the turbo. The big shift for North American market cars was in 2004 with the introduction of the pumpe duse engine and in 2009 with the common rail engine. These engines see very high pressures in the head and should use VW approved engine oil to keep your warranty intact. See 1000q: pumpe duse engine oil and 1000q: non pumpe duse engine oil to see lists of approved oils and reference links to oil manufacturer's websites. The common rail engine in the 2009 and 2010 VW TDI uses VW/Audi 507.00 spec engine oil only. At least for warranty purposes, stick to the VW spec, especially since this is a new engine and there isn't any aftermarket engine oil analysis out there yet.
Some people install a turbo timer to keep the engine idling so they can walk away from their car during a cool down period. I do not recommend these products for a number of reasons. First, if you have a manual transmission, you should always put it in first or reverse gear when parking in addition to applying the parking brake, so the convenience of walking away with the car idling is not possible. Also, a turbo timer requires spending money on the timer, cutting wires and introducing an unnecessary failure point. Lastly, for diesel applications, coking is not as common of a problem due to the lower rpm and cooler exhaust gas temperatures, and you should be using synthetic oil anyways which is more resistant to coking. If you are truly concerned about turbo care, just make sure that you drive at medium rpms and load when the engine is still warming up and just drive sensibly a few minutes before shutting the engine down.
The intercooler
Another component in a good turbo setup is the intercooler. After intake air passes through the turbo, it heats up partly because of higher pressure. The ideal gas law states that when all other variables are constant, if pressure is increased, so will temperature. An intercooler lowers air temps before passing the air into the engine. (Some other sources of heat are the intake piping soaking heat from a hot engine bay, because the turbo is so close to the exhaust with hot exhaust gasses passing through the exhaust side of the turbo, and mechanical agitation of the air by the turbine wheel.) Without an intercooler, hot air increases the likelihood of uncontrolled detonation and engine damage.
An intercooler is basically a heat sink that takes away the heat of the intake charge. Here is a picture of an intercooler in a Jetta TDI. Cooling ambient air moves through the front bumper, through the intercooler, and through the wheel well in the direction of the arrow. More air moves through the intercooler as the car moves faster.
You don't see intercoolers on non-turbo cars because the intake air is already at ambient temperature. An air intake directly connected to an intercooler or anywhere not after the turbo would actually decrease performance by restricting airflow. Below is a funny picture of an "interfooler", someone who put an intercooler on a non turbo car. It's there because they want to look cool and are ignorant of what its function is. Even worse, the air filter is exposed and low enough to suck up water and damage the engine.
The goal of intercooling is to produce the least pressure drop (so the turbo doesn't have to work as hard) and remove the most heat. Depending on the exact setup, the average well designed intercooler in a car may have .5-2.0 psi pressure drop. There is always some pressure differential between the turbo and the engine to get air moving from one spot to another. An intercooler acts more like a heat sink and less like a radiator when boosting because boosting heats up the intake air. This heat is transferred into the intercooler like a heat sink. Then the intercooler releases the heat into the ambient air or coolant. Most of the heat leaves with the ambient air flow (while the car is moving, air is passing through the air ducts) but a little heat can go back into the intake air once air temps have dropped (heat moves from hot to cold).
A good air-air intercooler can cool the air to within 20 degrees of ambient temperature if it has steady airflow to take away the heat. The advantage of a good air-water intercooler is more consistent intake air temperatures because water is a better heat sink. Water (coolant) is not as quickly affected by rapid changes in ambient air temperatures and car speed. But once water is hot, some heat goes out a radiator and some goes back into the air-water intercooler's intake air. Some cars don't have the routing or space for a good air-air intercooler so they must use an air-water intercooler.
An air-air intercooler is preferred for diesels because they are normally front engine so there's plenty of space for plumbing. An air-air intercooler is also easier to fabricate with less chance for leaks. If there is a major water leak into the intercooler core, it's possible that this could hydrolock the high compression diesel engine. A air-water intercooler is more appropriate on a mid engine car due to difficulty of intercooler packaging or a car with more peaky temperatures.
In a gasoline engine, the engine is operating at vacuum or low boost most of the time. Low boost doesn't heat the intake air as much as hard boosting and as a result, doesn't transfer as much heat to the intercooler. In other words, a larger intercooler is not needed unless you need the extra heat sink capability! Most modified gasoline cars would benefit a little from a larger intercooler due to higher than stock boost levels. However, how much it's needed in only lightly modified cars is debatable due to variations between cars, ambient outside temperatures, intended use (street vs. track), desired safety margin and fuel octane, etc.. For example, a large front mount intercooler will cool better than a small intercooler but it may not fit, may be blocked by the bumper, cause overheating problems due to blocking the radiator, etc.. Also check for leaves or dirt blocking the face of the intercooler.
A diesel engine has a greater need for an effective heat sink vs. a similar gasoline engine because of higher sustained boost levels. Turbos are also smaller for a number of reasons, for example, the smaller rpm range. I think that even lightly modified VW TDI could benefit from more efficient intercooling for maximum peak power. The best way to determine the need is to log pressure and temperature at the turbo and at the intake manifold. Especially for a front engine TDI, an air-air intercooler (which you already have) is the best option. The VW TDI naturally puts an oily mist on the inside of the intercooler from the crank case ventilation (CCV) system but trying to keep the inside clean is like trying to keep the oil dipstick clean. Gasoline cars shouldn't have any oil inside the intercooler.
If you must paint the intercooler to help hide it, use 1-2 light sprays of radiator paint or even better, a heat shedding coating like Swaintech's "BBE heat emitting coating". I don't know how well it works since bare Al is already very good at shedding heat. My guess is that because it sells well and measuring before-after intake air temperatures is so easy (assuming equal ambient test conditions), that it probably works.
Spraying coolant onto the outside of the intercooler is very effective because it can lower the temperature of the intake air below ambient air temps. CO2 (compressed carbon dioxide gas), N2O (nitrous), and just regular water all work very well at increasing intercooler effectiveness but only work until your coolant runs out. If you are preparing a short race, placing bags of ice on an air-air intercooler or chilling the coolant in a water-air intercooler works well too.
1000q: boost leak testing. A common issue with the VW TDI is the sudden loss of power known as limp mode. The VW TDI ECU has pressure and air temp sensors and if the ECU senses a problem, it cuts power to prevent damage to the turbo and engine, preventing damage to the turbo from an overspeed. See 1000q: limp mode diagnosis for more details on a sudden loss of power.
To the right and above is a thumbnail of an aftermarket off-the-shelf intercooler next to the stock intercooler, click for a larger view. It features bar-plate construction instead of the stock tube-fin.
Further flow improvements
Another way to increase the efficiency of your general setup is to improve the pre and post turbo and intercooler piping. This reduces pumping losses and restriction (reduces boost - see the next section for more on this). On most TDI engines, this can be difficult due to the turbo, intercooler, and battery locations. The best piping would be relatively smooth on the inside (mandrel bends), have a relatively straight path or gradual angles and transitions, and be as short as possible. The shortest, smoothest pipe routing on a transverse 4 cylinder engine would be from a turbo in the front, with a 180o loop to a front or side mounted intercooler and then a 180o loop back to the intake manifold. This is not possible on the VW TDI due to the rear mounted turbo location but you can still improve the existing piping. When putting together an aftermarket setup, use piping that has mandrel bends with straight silicone couplers instead of using straight pipes with bent silicone couplers. Silicone couplers tend to collapse at tight spots and can bend, reducing the cross sectional area. Due to varying fitment, they also tend to have more gaps between the piping, disturbing airflow more than necessary. They economical and easier to assemble but the best system is a simple system.
Shortening the intake piping, making the transitions between piping as smooth as possible, and and routing the piping as straight as possible will reduce the amount of required pressure to produce a certain amount of power, increasing reliability and efficiency. A rough rule of thumb is that each 90o bend in pipe adds as much airflow resistance as 25 ft of straight piping. Of course, actual resistance depends highly on diameter, smoothness of bend, etc., but (big surprise here) short straight piping results in the best flow.
Some people think that larger piping or a larger intercooler increases lag. This is true because it takes longer to fill and pressurize the larger piping and intercooler. However, the difference in response is extremely short, especially considering the small, quick spooling turbos on the TDI. In addition, the loss of throttle response is generally not a factor at all since the larger piping increases overall efficiency and the power gain from other mods offsets any additional lag. Exhaust backpressure, chip tuning, and turbo size are far greater factors in throttle and turbo response than larger diameter intake piping, so don't worry about piping being too big. Intake piping makes a difference but on the TDI the priority is lower compared to a turbo, injectors, exhaust, and chip improvements.
The one thing to be wary of with Volkswagens is using high flow air filters. The mass air flow sensors (MAF or MAS) on the Mk4+ body seem to be sensitive to the additional dust and debris that a high flow air filter, especially aftermarket oiled cotton filters let into the intake tract. This can lead to a failed MAF, see 1000q: MAF FAQ for more details. The stock air filter and housing was overbuilt and uses the same air filter as the 240 horsepower Golf R32 so there is little-no gain by switching to a high flow air filter. Lastly, many cold air filters don't use a cold air intake snorkel. This draws in hot underhood air and can actually reduce power.
Common turbo myths dispelled
The biggest myth is that every turbo car can make more power just by turning up the boost. Boost is only a measure of intake pressure. Pressure can only be created when there is resistance from a restriction.
Everything else being equal and within reasonable limits for the setup, more boost makes more power only if the turbo is operating in an efficient range of performance and if the rest of the setup can benefit from it. Most turbocharged cars have a little room to safely increase boost. If you were to increase the boost to the point where the turbo is trying to move too much air, it actually reduces performance. This is because past the point of diminishing returns, a turbo is basically blowing hot air. This hot air creates intake air pressure and more boost because boost = measure of pressure. Again, back to the idea of volumetric efficiency, you want the maximum mass of air for the engine. Unless the air can be cooled sufficiently by the intercooler, the density of the air might actually be less than it would have been at a lower boost level. This psi level of diminishing returns is different for every setup and every car and even varies by ambient conditions. At that point, some modern cars compensate by using their computer and sensors to adjust the timing to prevent detonation. The TDI engine car computer has air temperature and pressure sensors and a program that will prevent increased power if the only change is increased boost. You need a chip or other performance enhancement to increase fueling, see 1000q: basic performance upgrades for the TDI for more details.
Again, it is a common mistake to equate boost, or intake pressure, with denser air. Assuming the other variables are constant, the ideal gas law PV=NrT shows that if you raise pressure, temperature increases. Also keep in mind the above paragraph about operating a turbo outside of its areas of efficiency. It's easy to get so caught up with quick power gains from more boost pressure that one can forget that the ultimate goal of turbocharging is increasing air density, not just pressure. In designing the engine as a whole system, you want to create the same amount of power with the least amount of boost, within a range, to reduce stresses on the engine and turbo and to keep air moving at a reasonable speed throughout the intake tract.
One more time: boost pressure is a measure of intake restriction. You could put a choke in the intake air path and that would also create boost (but reduce power). A turbo moving a lot of air but showing relatively low boost on a boost gauge means there is low air restriction in the intake air path. Remember, the goal in increasing power is to move more air, more efficiently, not just create boost. Changing camshafts to allow more air into the combustion cylinders, changing the combustion cylinders by boring and making the diameter of the cylinders wider, or stroking the engine and making the length of the piston travel longer, can all increase the amount of air moved.
Adding a larger turbo does not mean the engine will make more power. In a modern car, the turbo is regulated by sensors, computer feedback, and solenoids set to control the boost at a certain pressure. The computer measures the pressure with sensors normally at the intake manifold or some spot right before the intake manifold. Everything else being equal (load, rpm, etc), one large turbo and one small turbo will flow identical pressures of air at a given psi but remember that psi is just a measure of pressure - air mass is what matters and is what makes power!
Here is an example: to flow a certain amount of air, where a smaller turbo may have already passed its maximum efficiency and is blowing mostly hot expanded air, a larger turbo will still be operating in its area of maximum efficiency and is moving cooler denser air at the same psi. Again, assuming that one turbo is stressed too much and the other is in its peak efficiency, they are both giving the same psi but not the same density of air. 20 psi is always 20 psi, the difference between an efficient turbo and a turbo blowing hot air is the temperature of the air coming out of the turbo which affects density. 20psi of 50oC air is not the same as 20psi of 14oC air. There are also other factors that effect this such as the size of the turbo housings, backpressure, etc.. You want to select a turbo which balances responsiveness with moving your desired mass of air. Do a lot more research and consult your performance and parts vendor before crunching the numbers and selecting a turbo setup. The same turbo on a 4.0L engine will respond totally different than on a 2.0L engine. Garrett turbo's website has some more info on calculating airflow. Turbo manufacturers often publish graphs which show where the turbo is operating most efficiently.
Also remember that the control systems and sensors for the turbo are normally located after the intercooler in the intake manifold or piping. If there is an air leak in this section of piping, the turbo has to work even harder to make up for the lost and provide the same reading to the sensors. Because it has to work harder, it may even be operating outside of its optimum efficiency range and creating excess heat over a leak free car. See 1000q: boost and vacuum leak testing for a simple way to test for boost leaks.
What does this mean for detonation in a gasoline car? Detonation or engine knock is the explosive ignition of fuel. It often occurs from preignition on hot spots inside the engine cylinder which can be caused by pitting from earlier detonation. If an engine starts to knock at 20 psi, it will always knock at 20 psi, everything else being equal (ambient conditions, same octane and fuel quality, same exact engine). In this example, a more efficient turbo will move more air mass at the knock limit of 20 psi than a less efficient turbo at 20 psi. Therefore, the larger turbo can move more air (and make more power). This goes back to the last section on flow improvements: move more air, more efficiently to make more power.

Telford, United Kingdom (PressExposure) November 14, 2009 -- For Immediate Release
One of the most difficult issues facing any bride is the color theme of the wedding. And without a doubt not just the right colors but shades of colors can create such a frenzy of worried stress throughout the entire wedding party.
A very real problem for the modern bride is matching not only her own dress color to her shoes, but the bridesmaids and the mother of the brides shoes have to be exact matches as well. Nothing stands out more conspicuously than odd colored shoes.
Ellese Chantel Bridal Couture, realized this and made the decision to ease the stress they saw on the faces of brides coming to their studio searching for the perfect shoes. Heather Denton partner and founding member of the company said "When we decided to stock the Rainbow Club wedding shoes collection, we were not only able to offer our clientele a huge range of beautiful shoes but we could also arrange for the shoes to be dyed to match any color swatch"
Heather went on to say "Brides simply send us a small swatch of material that is the correct color and tell us whether they want it to be color matched to daylight or artificial light".
"Rainbow Club have a very advanced color matching service and the results are very impressive" says Andy Haycock, the marketing manager for Ellese Chantel Bridal Couture. He also said "We have provided this service for many, many brides now and they are always overjoyed with the results produced, not only is the color correct but the service is fast and pain free"
In addition a waterproofing service is also available now to help protect the silk and satin shoes from adverse weather conditions, while in between venues.
Indeed it can be hard to find matching shoes especially if the color choice is particularly critical to the family, say the color of a treasured garment. In this case, where the owner would obviously not like the garment to have a swatch cut from it, the whole item can be sent for color matching and it will be returned safely with the shoes.
Ellese Chantel are a bridal wear and accessories supplier based in the lovely Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire, UK. Formed in late 2006 the company offer a wide range of wedding and prom related products including dresses and shoes.

2 days after I had attended the exhibition in my school Istituto Marangoni, on Saturday 31st the official Graduate Fashion Week has started with IM as a first show on a schedule. The show was great as last year! It was held in a different location and the surrounding was different as well, it has this urban art vibe in it. 15 students were selected to show case their final collection in the show, and everything was different and inspiring. From menswear to womenswear, from minimalism to extravagant. I can proudly say, that there was one vietnamese student selected among all fashion design students in final year to show case her work during this GFW. (didn't know about her since that day:D) After the show, we had a look around at different universities stalls, where other top students were showing their work, had a chance to chat with alumni or workers of the university as well as talks and seminars were held throughout the few days of Graduate Fashion Week. On that day I have attended the talk with 2 PR ladies working in house (Vivienne Westwood PR manager) and in agency (Tea and Cake agency), talking about PR work, different between those two roles and giving advices for us - students. Alexander Hillary was presented, that is a big honour for all fashion students having a chance to show case. Because on GFW there is always a chance for graduates to be spotted by brands and companies. Take a look at pictures bellow of the day and go to GFW official blog for more photos of shows and posts.
Always looking forward for what people can created, I am really amazed and inspired by their inspiration and work. But, it is not always for people who is interested in fashion design. It is generally about fashion and art. From photography, marketing, illustration, design etc.

New York, NY (PressExposure) July 10, 2008 -- Ever wanted to start your own business? We all know that if we start a business, capital is one of the most important parts in starting a private business. But what if you lack the necessary capital to fund your business? And thatâs not the only factor that you should focus on. There is the location factor and the type of business that you would like to start.
But what kind of business that can have all these factors to be a positive one? Well any kind of business lines can be successful if handled and maintained properly. But a business of selling clothes is more appropriate if one doesnât have a hands-on experience in handling a business.
Setting up a clothing shop can be as easy enough as having the appropriate amount of capital. Unlike any other businesses, a business of selling clothes requires only a fraction of a business such as food service. For its location, a business of selling clothes doesnât need to be located in one spot. Clothes can be easily carried from place to place. But what kind of clothes to sell?
Clothes are seasonal if you would notice, but having a collection of fashionable clothes for the urban can be as profitable as any businesses can ever be. Urban clothes are what in-season is today or for years to come, which is why a business of selling urban type clothes are the best way for it.
But aside from capital, location and the business itself, there is another type of factor to put into your mind, a supplier. Suppliers are the life stream of a business of clothes. Without it, where can you get your stock to sell? This is why a supplier is very important.
But sometimes, suppliers can backfire. Instead of you taking advantage on their offers, the suppliers are taking advantage on their clients, which is why it is important to choose the right kind of supplier as possible. A supplier must be able to provide advantages that could prove beneficial to any clients such as a discount. And Seven Wholesale is one of them that could provide just that.
Seven Wholesale is an online wholesale clothing shop that specializes on providing different kinds of wholesale clothing such as wholesale clothing for men, wholesale womens clothing, wholesale kids clothing, wholesale clothing Sean John, wholesale clothing Roca wear, and most importantly wholesale urban wear.
Seven Wholesale provides the best collection of wholesale urban wear for men, women and kids that ranges from tees to hoodys, to jeans and skirts.
Seven Wholesaleâs wholesale urban wear collection for men includes phat farm, makaveli, rocawear, southpole, gino green global, sean john, snoop dog, coogi, hypnotic, and miskeen.
Seven Wholesaleâs wholesale urban wear collection for women includes steve madden, seven7, mudd, apple bottoms, L.E.I, rocawear, makaveli ladies, 9.8 jeans, and many more wholesale street wear.
Seven Wholesaleâs wholesale urban wear collection for kids includes rocawear, ecko, sean john kids, g-unit, phat farm, and enyce. For more information about Seven Wholesaleâs wholesale urban wear collection, then visit www.sevenwholesale.com.

Zero-hours contracts: are they really such bad news? - .PDF file.
By Adam Hartley
Zero-hours contracts have hardly been out of the news in recent weeks. The overwhelming majority of the media coverage has been negative, suggesting that zero-hours contracts are exploitative of workers and should be outlawed. The pressure gauge has risen to such an extent that in September business secretary Vince Cable announced that there would be a consultation process to tackle any abuse discovered. In addition to this, the Labour Party has also announced it will be conducting its own review.
But why all this sudden interest? Zero-hours contracts are not a new phenomenon… and, on the face of it, they provide employers with the type of flexibility that the government has been so keen to introduce over past months through a wide range of other employment reforms. In short, they allow employers to maintain a flexible workforce, capable of meeting short-term staffing needs, potentially without taking on many of the obligations that arise under contracts of employment. Arguably, therefore, these types of contracts actually benefit employers more than any other legal proposal in the government's programme of reform.
However, it appears the issue has come into sharp focus after research published by the CIPD in August indicated that there are around one million people in the UK working under zero-hours contracts, far more than had previously been thought to be the case. This has led to heightened scrutiny of what these contracts are and what impact they have on workers…

There's not much information coming out of the press conference going on in Watertown right now. Instead, officials are passing a lot of thanks around. Col. Alben says "We are so grateful to be here right now...we're exhausted, folks, but we have a victory here tonight." Alben is followed by Governor Deval Patrick, who says "there are still some questions remaining to be answered," but "we have a suspect in custody tonight."
US Attorney Carmen Ortiz warns the press: "Tonight, you're going to have many questions," but this is an ongoing and active investigation," and officials are going to have to "evaluate a tremendous amount of evidence" before they can announce their conclusions. Boston Mayor Tom Menino begins simply: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." He says that working together is "when government works the best."
Now Commissioner Davis is taking questions about what exactly happened. The press got it mostly right: A man left his house, after being inside all day, to notice that someone tampered with his boat. He saw what he thought was a body inside. He called police. The suspect engaged in gunfire with the police. The hostage team tried to negotiate with the suspect, but he was "noncommunicative." The suspect is in serious condition. "There's no report of explosives [with the suspect] at capture," Davis says. "I was not there when he was taken out of the boat."
A reporter asked about the rumors that the suspect hasn't been given his Miranda rights. Ortiz seems to imply that the rumors are true, saying this happens in federal investigations. "There is a public safety exemption in case there is an issue of national security," she says. And that's all for this press conference. Rumor has it that President Obama is about to address the nation, too, so I'll stay tuned.
UPDATE 7 PM: Here we go. President Obama says Bostonians responded with "resolve and determination" and law enforcement professionals acted with "professionalism and bravery." "They all worked as they should—as a team—and we are extremely grateful for that," President Obama says. "Obviously tonight, there are still many unanswered questions." We still don't know how young men "who grew up and studied here" can turn to such "senseless violence." We also don't know if they had assistance. "We will investigate any associations these terrorists may have had." He says the suspects "failed because we will not waver from the courage and the compassion" that "defines us as a country." He says being Americans means celebrating diversity, too. "It's important that we do this right...that's why we relentlessly gather the facts" and don't "rush to judgment," President Obama says.
President Obama lists the dead and says they were sharing "the great American experience." He also says "we've seen a tight-knit community in Texas" torn apart by an explosion, and he wants them to know that "they are not forgotten." "All in all, it's been a tough week," President Obama understates, but he assures us that we'll pull through as "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

creating with Janna- floral wreath card
I am a huge fan of hand drawn wreaths, but sometimes I do not have enough time to sit down for hours to create a detailed and big drawing and sometimes I just might not feel like that either. So I came up with a solution for last minute cards and tags that are supposed to be handed out the same day – a very plain and fun version of a hand drawn wreath. I promise, you can´t do anything wrong here.
I used my favourite Tombow markers for drawing and scrapbooking supplies to create the card. You can use any markers, even children´s pens. When it came to adding a sentiment, I was lazy and used a stamp, I could have used my own handwriting instead or even created my own stamp. I like the clean font of the stamp though, as it creates a nice contrast to the slightly messy wreath.
I hope this tutorial inspires you to try drawing a floral wreath yourself. I would love to see your projects, scribbles and process photos, so please tag me on Instagram with @jannawerner
Love, Janna

5 simple ways to use a brayer
One of my favorite creative tools is a brayer. A brayer is traditionally used for spreading ink in the printmaking process but I love using a brayer to apply paint. Today I've got 5 of my favorite simple ways to use a brayer.
1. I use my brayer to create colorful backgrounds. Roll that brayer over your surface- I like to layer color and roll it in different directions to create lots of texture.
2. You can also blend color with that brayer. Drop paint onto your surface and then roll the brayer through the color.
The color will roll off the brayer onto the surface.
3. You can also use a brayer to pick up texture. Roll the brayer over paint and things that have texture or dimension to them (bubble wrap, fiber, etc).
Then roll the brayer over your surface.
You will get a really light reverse imprint of that texture.
4. My favorite way to use a brayer is to create an imprint by pressing anything that has texture to a surface. The brayer gives you the ability to press, roll and smush all kinds of stuff (bubble wrap, burlap, leaves, flowers, string, etc) onto your surface to create really great imprints of texture.
5. You can also wrap all kinds of stuff around the brayer to create texture on that surface! I like using a piece of ribbon or string.
Roll the brayer wrapped with ribbon through paint and then roll it onto your surface. The result is really unique texture!

creating with Jules- fabric pom pom flowers
I think I'm a little addicted to pom poms, so I love to think of ways to use them in my craft projects.
For these pom pom flowers you will need:
Thin garden wire (I used 1mm)
Thicker garden wire for the stem
Fabric in various colors
Craft glue
You will also need pen & paper, pliers, scissors, needle & thread, and a sewing machine.
First, make your pom pom. I just wrap wool around two of my fingers and then thread a strand of wool between the fingers to tie together tightly. (Just make sure you wrap loosely enough to fit a strand between the fingers!) Pull the wool off your fingers, then cut through all of the loops, and trim to neaten.
Take a long piece of the sturdier wire, which will be your stem, and poke through the pom pom. Bend the end of the wire over, placing a bit of craft glue on the end, and pull the wire to 'hook' the pom pom securely to the end. I also bent the end up of the bottom of the stem wire, to make it less pointy. Make the stem fairly long, as you can always fold it up if it needs to fit a smaller vase.
Cut 5 pieces of the thin wire to 14" (35cm) lengths. Using the diagram as your guide, draw a template for the petals. Cut ten petals from your chosen fabric. Take two petals, place right sides together and sew around the curved sides leaving the ends open. Trim the excess seam and clip around the curves as shown.
Turn right side out and fold a thin length of wire and push it inside the petal. With a needle and thread, sew all around the edges of the petal, making sure the wire is at the very edges to hold the wire in place. Along the bottom of the petal, do a loose running stitch and pull tight and secure thread to gather.
Repeat for remaining petals.
Now place your petals evenly around the pom pom and stem, and wrap the wire around the stem to hold in place. Use the pliers to clamp the wire on nice and tight. Using craft glue, and a thin strip of fabric, wrap all around the stem from the base of the flower to the bottom of the stem.
Now repeat for as many flowers as you like, and enjoy!

creating with janna- beginner gelli plate printing
I have been wanting to try Gelli Plate printing for a long time as I had seen so many impressive art work with this kind of printing technique. I wasn´t sure, if I could create the multi layered look myself, but as you will see, the use is super easy and fun - nothing to worry about at all!
Here´s a little introduction to Gelli Plates, just in case you are not familiar with them. The gelatinous printing plates come in different sizes and shapes and are used for monoprinting. Monoprints are multiple prints of which each is unique and can not be repeated in the exact same way. The plates can be cleaned with baby oil and dish soap.
Working with Gelli Plates is easy, usually you would start with a layer (or more) of acrylic paint and add stamps, stencils, papers or natural materials such as leaves, for example, to incorporate texture and patterns into the design. This can be done in many layers.
In my first try, I started with a single layer of acrylic paint and used a wooden pick to create a pattern. I put a piece of paper on top of the plate and pressed it gently. You could use a brayer, too – just make sure to press the paper evenly to get the paint onto the entire paper. As you can see in the pictures, I didn´t press good enough and didn´t get the paint completely on my paper.
Do not use high gloss paper when working with the plates as it could stick to it and even damage the plate. Copy paper is totally fine, if you prefer thicker paper use cardstock or printing paper (or fabric!) instead.
After cleaning the plate, I used a stencil and white acrylic paint to add a pattern onto the paper. As I applied quite a lot of white acrylic paint to the plate, the paint application on the paper is quite thick – which adds a nice texture to the print.
If the paper is hard to remove from the plate, the paint layer might not have been thick enough or the paint had already started drying. Adding a thicker layer of paint or using a retarder helps to extend the drying process.
After the paint had dried, I added a layer of golden acrylic paint, cut out the paper and adhered it onto cardstock. If you look closely, you can see the great texture and structure the different layers created.
I really loved working with Gelli Plates and it was way easier than I thought in the beginning. The prints can be used on many projects, like cards, mixed media art, art journaling pages, scrapbooking pages, fabric... Gelli Plate printing is a great technique for creating unique and versatile art work and a great tool for beginners, as well as advanced creatives as you can decide yourself how complex the process will be.
I hope this tutorial inspires you to try Gelli Plate printing yourself - make sure to check out Alisa's many fantastic and inspiring printing tutorials as well.
All the best,

Fifty New Jobs in Yorkshire from High Speed Broadband
1:44pm 7th March 2013
Fifty new jobs are coming to Yorkshire from a thousand new engineering jobs being created to roll out high speed fibre broadband.
Tom Keeney, BT regional director for Yorkshire and the Humber, said: "This latest recruitment is a further example of BT's great commitment to Yorkshire and the Humber. We are one of the region's largest private sector employers and investors. At a time of great economic challenge we are creating more high-quality jobs and rolling out high-speed fibre broadband to communities across the region.
There is a strong demand across Yorkshire and the Humber for this exciting new technology, which offers huge benefits and opportunities for local homes and businesses.
"In addition to our commercial roll-out of fibre broadband, BT is working in partnership with North Yorkshire County Council on the Superfast North Yorkshire project to deliver access to fibre broadband to 90 per cent of North Yorkshire's homes and businesses by the end of 2014."
Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I warmly welcome the announcement from BT today. Working with business, the Government is driving a transformation in UK broadband services and with an extra 100,000 homes and businesses gaining superfast broadband availability each week, this is already taking shape. Providing much faster broadband speeds, and enabling millions more homes and businesses to enjoy these speeds is vital for driving investment and equipping the UK to compete and thrive in the global race."
BT chief executive Ian Livingston added: "BT's investment, together with the government's BDUK programme, will cement the UK's position as one of the leading broadband nations in Europe. We remain highly confident that fibre can be provided to more than 90 per cent of UK homes and businesses, making the UK a global digital leader.
"Faster broadband will help to fuel the UK economy and the jobs we are creating are part of that. Almost half of the jobs will be offered under our popular apprenticeship scheme giving young people the chance to earn a recognised qualification and pursue a career as a skilled telecoms engineer."
The business will fill the 1,000 posts with a mix of apprentices, further armed forces personnel and other candidates, including some long-term unemployed.
Four hundred apprenticeships are to be offered, providing young people with a training scheme lasting two and a half years. These apprentices will focus on installing new fibre broadband connections in customers' homes during their first year, before going on to learn the full range of engineering tasks in the remaining months.
At the end of their training, the apprentices will achieve a BTEC Level 3 Diploma and Certificate in ICT Systems and Principles. As part of their qualification, apprentices will also complete academic studies in Maths, English and ICT, providing them with the essential skills needed to progress in the workplace.
These apprenticeships are likely to be much sought after. BT has recruited around 460 apprentices to date in the current financial year having received 18,500 applications – more than 40 for each available position.
Openreach will work with the Ministry of Defence and the Careers Transition Partnership to attract further people who are due to leave the armed forces. The business has recruited more than 1,000 staff from the armed forces in the past two years and is keen to find a further 200 under this latest recruitment programme.
The remaining 400 roles will be filled via other routes with a focus on offering some of the roles to the long term unemployed.

School Performance Profile
The Pennsylvania Department of Education launched the School Performance Profile (SPP) in October 2013 as a new standard for academic performance throughout the state. SPP provides the public with a comprehensive student academic performance overview of every Pennsylvania public school, including traditional public schools, charter schools, cyber charter schools and career and technology centers. SPP serves three purposes:
- provide parents/guardians with performance measures for their child's school;
- inform the public of academic performance of all Pennsylvania public schools;
- provide a tool to inform goal setting, planning, and resource allocation to improve student achievement; and
- provide a building-level score for educators as part of the educator effectiveness system.
Title I Schools
In addition to SPP, Title I Schools (schools denoted with a high percentage of low-income students) receive a federal designation of "Priority," "Focus" or "Reward" based on four annual measurable objectives:
- Student participation on the math and reading Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) exams and the algebra I, biology and literature Keystone Exams;
- Student graduation or attendance rate;
- Closing the achievement gap of all students – reducing the number of students who score below proficient on the PSSA, Keystone Exams and the Pennsylvania Alternate System of Assessment (PASA) by 50 percent over a six-year period; and
- Closing the achievement gap of historically under-performing students – reducing the number of students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged and English language learners who score below proficient on the PSSA, Keystone Exams and the PASA by 50 percent over a six-year period.
Helpful Information About the PA School Performance Profile

South Africa chalk up a record 5-nil over Guatemala
South Africa 5 – Guatemala 0 (International Friendly, May 31, 2010) Katelgo Mphela got the scoreboard ticking in the 12th minute when he converted a penalty which was awarded in dubious circumstances; Reneilwe Letsholonyane then doubled the hosts lead with a second goal in the 26th. Mphela set up substitute Surprise Moriri for the third just after the restart, and Mphela got his second also from the penalty spot in the 56th minute. Bafana Bafana's final goal of the night was their best; it came from the boot of Bernard Parker who sent a scorching left footed shot screeching past Guatemala substitute goalkeeper Barrios eight minutes from time.

How do i merge two partitions with seperate page file and system?
Hi all,
Please take a look at the screenshot first.
Apparently I am currently running Win 7 on C drive and Vista is on another partition - drive D. How do i merge the two drives into one, assuming that i no longer need vista?
I was planning to reformat the D drive but my assumption is that there is no way i could just do a reformat since it is active and has the system and the page file?
|My System Specs
|10 Jun 2012
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 64-bit
You don't "merge" them.
You delete one, which results in "unallocated space".
You then reassign that "unallocated space" to the desired partition. You'll probably have to use Partition Wizard for this step.
But you don't just jump in with an axe.
Look here:
Dual Boot - Delete a OS
|My System Specs
|10 Jun 2012
Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8
This is not an easy task. Here are the steps you need to take:
1. Move the bootmgr from D to C. Bootmgr - Move to C:\ with EasyBCD
2. Delete D to get the 80GB unallocated space.
3. Extend E to the left with Partition Wizard. Best Free Partition Manager Freeware and free partition magic for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista and Windows XP 32 bit & 64 bit. MiniTool Free Partition Manager Software Home Edition.
4. Shrink E by 80GB - use also Partition Wizard
5. Backup N to another drive
6. Delete N so that the 80GB unallocated space and the 9.7GB unallocated space of N become one contiguous unallocated space.

I deleted all my partitions, used Gparted to move the drive C partition before the unallocated space and resized it.
All is well now! Thanks for the help!

You could have done this using free Partition Wizard bootable CD which is the only partitioning tool besides Disk Mgmt which will not fail.
After deleting other partitions slide C intact to the left, resize its right border to give it more space.

Oh Brittany… Now you will never know what could have been.
You stopped the train and now there is nothing…
Your gesture is not one of courage but one of desperation and blindness. I'm praying for your soul and I also worry… because the advocacy group that used you (and will be using your death for their agenda) is undermining the work of suicide prevention groups. Encouraging and enabling suicide is a form of abuse of the vulnerable and it has to be denounced.
In some ways, assisted suicide is similar to abortion. It robs the person of life with no chance of turning back. Just like God doesn't send an aborted child back in the body of another when "our timing is right", you won't be able to board that train again.
As a friend of suicidal people and as a person who occasionally struggles with suicidal thoughts, I'm heart broken and I think the glamorization of your death won't bring anything good. It won't make the world a more beautiful, loving place.
Your suicide raises horrible questions that won't be featured in People Magazine: Did you suffer an agonizing death after you took that pill? Did you feel "dignified" in that death? Did it "work" right away or did somebody have to finish the job? What was Plan B? Will your loved ones experience resentment or PTSD symptoms because of the way you died and the role they played in it? What if your suicide pushes them to commit suicide? Who will be responsible?
As for a society that is slouching toward a culture of death… Who will be the next victim of assisted suicide? Who will make the decision for them? Based on what criterion? At what cost? Who will profit from it?
Brittany, how different things could have been, had you been surrounded with life-affirming friends and doctors, some who swore to First, Do No Harm; people who have Hope, even when everything looks dark. Friends who would have encouraged you to stay on the train when it was going through the tunnel and helped you see the light at the end of it.
I struggle as we all struggle but I have hope, Brittany. Life is worth living. You didn't have to commit suicide, none of us do. Your life was precious and you didn't lose your dignity in illness. I'm so sorry you could not see it. I'm sorry you bought into the lies of false compassion and false choices.
May your soul rest in peace.

Google's trippy drawing robot makes amazing art of your face
At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today Google has a number of Android experiments its Creative Lab team built to see how far it could push mobile devices.
One that caught my eye, however, is this amazing little robot that creates line drawings of your face based on a photo taken on an Android phone.
The setup is an Android phone connected to an IOIO (pronounced 'Yo-yo') to control a pen suspended by two strings driven by motors. The result is these really cool line drawings that are generated by an algorithm and drawn out exactly how you saw them on the phone.
The Android device attached is just a Nexus 6P, and it handles everything from the control of the drawing robot itself to taking the photo and actually creating the line drawing.
Each picture takes about five minutes to create, which isn't particularly long when you consider how much magic is going on here.
The drawing robot isn't a commercial project, just something Google made for fun, but it is a cool demo of what can be built with the phone you have in your pocket.

June 1st, 2006, 09:39 AM #1Shoeline.com...Anyone else having problems?
I've been with Shoeline.com for a couple of years and although not great, I get sales every week. What I'm writing about today is to see if anyone else has been having problems communicating with ther affiliate manager, Paul Mellet? The only contact information I've ever had is through CJ mail and it takes weeks for him to answer with constant appologies for not getting back to me. Then, he usually just gives me some stock reply, not answering all my questions and I have to ask again and wait again. I've asked for a different way to contact him but he never gave one.
I even went to the management of the company about a month ago and was told they would get right back to me. Well, a month later and two more emails to management, still no response.
Shoeline.com has some products (and larger variety) than some other merchants and I'd still like to promote those items, but this is ridiculous.
Has anyone else had any problems, or is it just me?

Am I the only one using this merchant or am I the only one having communication problems? Anyone?

This is one of the worries I have with the new links. Merchants are going to be in charge of updating them and I don't want to see this on my site.
June 1st, 2006, 08:46 PM #6
Well, even when he does repond he misses the mark. Here is one of the last reponses I got from him, in answer to my question listed below:
Should I be using a different means to contact you. This method takes forever.
Sent you a message here several days ago inquiring about the extended transactions going all the way back to Feb. 1st. Can you get back to me on that?
--- Original Message Separator ---
THis is simply the way our transaction system works. If you don't like it, feel free to opt out.
Well, I wrote to one of the managers at the mother company, HHBrown, and recieved this message from a Janice Baber:
I appreciate you sending me the below correspondence. I will discuss this with Frank who is the VP of Operations. One of us will get back to you!
I guess with all this I was wondering if it was just me or this was happening to others. From what Billy Kay is telling us, sounds like their Affiliate Manger has really dropped the ball, what with all those bad and outdated links out there. I pretty much use the datafeed, but guess I need to check my links now too.
A check of the New Hampshire BBB shows that they are Doing Business As Vision Retailing, Inc., of which I could find no information about on the internet.

drop them... if they literally told you to feel free to opt out, i don't see them valuing the relationship that much. if something bad happens down the road, I can't imagine them sticking up for you. Thanks for posting about your experience, that way we know not to promote them.
June 4th, 2006, 06:30 PM #8
Well, I finally got a a response on June 2nd for the email I sent their AM on May 22. And, to my surprise, he actually answered my question.
Still, eleven days is still too long to respond to questions.

I can only seem to get speeds of 1Mbps when I boot into Kubuntu Lucid, instead of the roughly 7Mbps that my internet connection is supposed to be, and that I get in windows. I don't think it has anything to do with the common IPv6 DNS resolution problem, because AAAA requests seem to fail instantly, and web pages seem to load quickly enough.
Is there some way to fix this?

Great plugin. Simple to install, works perfect
After trying the free version, I upgraded to the professional version.
True, I had some initial problems ( I did'nt know I had to remove the free version before installing the pro version ) that required re-installing the plugin, but since all the settings and data remained intact, it was just a matter of 10 minutes to re-install the plugin and get in going.
The designer of the plugin was very responsive and helpfull, and always answered my support request within 24 hours.
Now it works perfect.
Thanks Niaz !

Toro Rosso technical chief James Key says there is no longer much 'synergy' between the Faenza based team and the senior Red Bull outfit.
In the past, although Haas has now allied strongly with Ferrari, the rules allowed a closer collaboration between senior and junior teams.
"There are certain areas where there were synergies," Key told Germany's Auto Motor und Sport. "In 2014 we had the same (Renault) engine, and same gearbox internals and hydraulics."
But the situation has changed. Tighter rules meant Toro Rosso had to design the entire car separately to Red Bull, and the two teams no longer even share an engine supplier.
"Our cars are totally different in concept," Key explained.
"The rules require that each team develops its own aerodynamics. And that determines the majority of the rest of the car. Now we even have different engines so the cross-over between the two cars is very low."
He said Toro Rosso and Red Bull went their separate ways technically because of the rules regarding aerodynamic synergies.
"I don't know what Red Bull is doing," revealed Key.
"For example, I have no idea how their front wing works. Therefore, it was logical that we have drifted apart in terms of the car philosophy.
"You can see at a glance that it is really two totally different cars," he added.

Factor Portfolio Test for 2017: A Sun and its Satellitesby Jim
(Picture by Steve Snodgrass)
Another year has gone by, and I would like to give an update on my personal stock portfolio. I currently think that index investing is the smartest choice, and that is why 75% of my portfolio is made up of index ETFs. However, a part of me continues to think that if you try to invest intelligently using a portfolio that is different from the overall market, you should be able to do better than the market. Maybe a few more years of dabbling and getting subpar returns will cure me of this illusion. For now, I'm not yet fully ready to accept that index investing is the best anybody can do. Not because I'm greedy and dream of making 20% ROI per year, but because I think that it should be possible for a rationally thinking human to be better than average. (more…)
