Dieting Makes You Crazy
Whether it's "eating clean", low carb, juice fasts, high fat, paleo, slimming clubs or any other diet, they're all complete rubbish!

Macro Lean Ain't No Diet. Why Are We Different?

All you have to do is hit these daily targets you WILL lose fat. It's as simple as that. No food is off limits.

Macau casino junket operator Iao Kun Group Holding Company Limited (IKGH) has completed the acquisition of all of the profit interests of Lou Kan Kuong for acting as a junket operator for Crown Perth Casino and Crown Melbourne Casino in Australia.
Lou Kan Kuong, who is currently an officer of IKGH, recently entered into agreements to act as a junket operator for the Crown casinos and is expected to begin generating revenues under these agreements on May 16.
"Today marks an important step in beginning to diversify our sources of revenue and expanding our presence internationally," said IKGH Chairman Lam Man Pou. "We're excited to begin bringing our VIP clients to Australia and remain committed to finding additional opportunities to further expand our presence overseas and ultimately generating long-term value for our shareholders."
IKGH considers this move as a major step towards the company's expansion on international markets; diversifying their sources of revenue is among their top priorities.
IKGH and its subsidiaries promote five gaming rooms in Macau including Galaxy Entertainment's StarWorld Hotel, Sands Cotai Central, City of Dreams Macau, and SJM's Casino Le Royal Arc.
Earlier this month, IKGH announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2014 as well as for the whole year. The company reported a 4% increase in revenue to $52.3 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2014. Full-year revenue amounted to $234 million, compared to $237 million generated in 2013.

Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah said that the BJP-RSS and its cronies in the state are trying their level best to destroy the special status of our state.
Addressing an election campaign rally at Pattan, Omar said: "Our state is facing onslaught on its special status and integrity. We are continuously seeing unremitting attacks on the identity and integrity of our state. The agenda of BJP is clear now from the sordid statements of BJP party president Amit Shah and Finance minister Arjun Jaitely, who have forcefully undertaken to remove Art 35-A."
"Moreover the speech which I made the other day, where I had asked for the restoration of the Post of Sadar-e-Riyasat and Wazir Azam for the state as provided by the original scheme of Accession, was disliked by the PM Modi. But I didn't ask anything new. PM Modi should pore over history books and see under what conditions the accession was carried out. He should study how the constitution of India conferred upon the state certain allowances in terms of having its own flag and constitution. The state had its own Prime Minister and president until 1965. We aren't saying anything new we are asking for what was infringed upon."
Omar Abdullah said that ours coveted demand of restoring autonomy was attested to by the country's senior leader and former prime minister P V Narsima Rao on the floor of Parliament wherein he had emphatically affirmed to grant Autonomy to the state.
"Former PM Narsimha Rao whom PM Modi is all praise for, had assured us on the restoration of autonomy. It was on the floor of the house in parliament that he vowed to give state 'Anything under Sky and short of independence'. Didn't Atal Bihari Vajpayee also sought to find solution to Kashmir problem within the ambit of Kashmiriyat, Insaniyat and Jamhoriyat? I said what many of our national leaders have been saying; I didn't say any thing new. I am not going to alter my stance."
Omar said that he will not allow the forces as are inimical to state's integrity and unique status to succeed in their nefarious designs to destroy the special status of the state.
"We will fight for our rights in parliament and even if we have to hit roads we won't budge from that also. On one hand it is expected of us not to raise question on accession of the state with the union of India but on the other hand people are raising questions on the very fundamentals guiding the accession."
Omar Abdullah reiterated that if the party comes to power with a strong mandate SRO-202 and PSA will go.
Party provincial president Nasir Aslam Wani also addressed people on the occasion and impressed upon people to send Dr. Farooq Abdullah to parliament with a resounding victory margin. Among others party candidate Mohammad Akbar Lone and party Reyaz Bedar also addressed the gathering.

John Richardson, P.Eng.
Vice President, BMR Structural Engineering Limited Halifax, Nova Scotia
"Approximately 20 years ago BMR Structuring Engineering Limited had three or four standalone computers. One Sunday afternoon we had a deadline looming and one of our computers failed. We called Ted and he arrived at our office within minutes and within half an hour had determined we had a virus. In fact we had the same virus in all our computers within the office. Ted had us up and running again within an hour and we met our deadline. Throughout the past 20 years we have used the services of The Computer Guy exclusively for all our computer needs. We purchase all our new computers from The Computer Guy and he developed our first in-house network and has upgraded our networks and computers as we have required over the years.
We have always found Ted Tupper to be extremely responsive and the services he has provided have been fantastic. Never once since we first met Ted has he failed to meet or exceed our expectations. We currently have an in-house network of approximately 20 desktop computers, servers, printers, etc. and have large numbers of relatively large digital files with back-up systems in place all maintained by The Computer Guy.
In closing, we would enthusiastically recommend The Computer Guy for all your computer and network needs and would be pleased to receive calls or inquiries from prospective clients who would like to discuss the performance of The Computer Guy."
Karen Tavenor
Finance & Office Manager, Nova Scotia School Boards Association
"Ted (the computer Guy) has been a vital part of our organization since 1998. His expertise and advise has seen us through our day to day needs as well as major system upgrades and two office relocations. We are a small organization and we do not have a IT person on staff, therefore having somebody like Ted to consult with on a regular basis makes it possible for us to stay current in this vastly changing computer world. He is professional, competent, trustworthy, dependable and flexible."
Susan Alward
Owner, The Summit (Spa)
"Ted has been our "computer guy" since 2004. This should say it all! I am far from a techie so having a networked computer system means that I really need a great person/company to be able to call on for big and small jobs/questions/issues. In 2004 when we were first introduced to The Computer Guy we received such great service that we have never had any other company work with our computers since. The key for me since I am not a techie is that I am not treated with eye rolls for my ignorance, language I can't understand or service I can't trust. Ted's patience, honesty and integrity are why he has been our Computer Guy since 2004."
Community Action on Homelessness
"I have been fortunate enough to have Ted Tupper as 'my techie guy' at both my previous and current jobs. I need to have confidence that anyone who touches my computer knows what they're doing, and I've always had that confidence with Ted. He's a busy guy but has always gotten back to me pretty quickly, especially with emergencies. He's often been able to give me a diagnosis over the phone and depending on my skill level, the problem has been resolved with his guidance. Ted is never flappable, is always affable and willing to answer my questions ranging from something basic to very technical. Ted is a great guy who has always come through and I'd highly recommend him."
David C. White
"I have known Ted since I first became seriously involved with computers and tried all the fly-by-night repair people in the City and elsewhere. Ted is honest, competent, competitive in his pricing and above all he is a fair and knowledgeable individual. No one else gets the call when I have questions or problems with my systems. I stand by him without reservation."
Dr. Edmond Ghiabi
Owner Pinnacle Dental
"We started our business about a year and half ago and hired the Computer Guy for our IT needs. Mr. Tupper did a nice job installing the computers. We have had no major issues or problems with our computer systems and networks since we started our operations. Whenever as issue arose, Mr. Ted Tupper addressed it fast and efficiently. Moreover, he is professional and easy to work with. Overall, we are pleased with our decision to hire the Computer Guy for our IT work"

I just got this off eBay along with the Carys balcony bra,both my first time for Freya. I love the quality and look of the bra but it doesnt seem to fit right. It seems tight enough,like it would fit,but the top of the cup is wrinkled,mostly on the right. I guess I'll try to stick with half cups. The sides of the bra also don't seem wide enough to fit all of me in there. I really hate it because I love so many of these patterns by Freya but with the empty-top problem I don't think any of them will fit right,even though its so close!
*also,its not a plunge,as far as I know. On eBay it's listed as "new - Freya Piper Balcony bra",but for some reason the model in 28D wasn't an option on here.

FREE to use ATM machines provided by banking giants RBS and NatWest in lower income and more remote communities in North Wales have provided a boost of more than a fifth of a million pounds to local businesses.
The ATMs are sited, mostly in sub post offices, in communities where access to alternative banking facilities would otherwise be severely limited or non-existent.
Bank chiefs said 92 of the new free to use ATMs had been installed in Welsh post offices, convenience stores and community centres – 37 of them in North Wales.
Just over half of the people using the machines say they now spend more money in shops near the new free to use machine than they did previously, benefiting local businesses.
Businesses put a value of £112 a week on the increased business resulting from the installation of each new free to use ATM. That equates to an average annual boost of £215,488 to local businesses across the 37 commercial sites in North Wales where a new free to use ATM has been installed.
The installation of the cash machines is also helping protect sub post offices at a time when their future survival has never been more in doubt.
Annalisa Westaway, postmistress at Penysarn Post Office, Anglesey, said: "This post office really is at the centre of local community life here.
"We provide postal facilities and stationery but we knew that our customers also needed free access to their money.
"Because of the new NatWest machine, my customers will no longer need to travel to nearby towns to get access to their money free of charge."
Five hundred new cash machines are due to be installed across Wales, Scotland and England as part of the RBS/NatWest initiative by the end of the year, saving the average user just under £10 a month in charges.
Gordon Pell, RBS retail markets chief executive, said: "Our free to use ATM initiative has made serious inroads into solving the issue of free access to cash for some of the neediest and remote communities in the UK. The programme has proved itself to be enormously beneficial to the communities in which we have invested."
John McFall, Treasury Select Committee chairman, said: "This initiative has been a great success."

Gathering The Flock: Choosing The Right Flooring For Your Church Renovation
Churches represent a place of safety and comfort for a lot of people. Because approximately 37% of Americans attend their local congregation on a weekly basis, appearance matters just as much as practicality; after all, it can be hard to encourage newcomers to join if the building is falling into disrepair. Renovations can make a big difference, especially when it comes to flooring.
In addition to weekly attendants, churches are host to weddings, funerals, and other events where many people come together; considering the fact that the average wedding sees 136 guests, a church's floor can easily become worn down and damaged as a result of such traffic. Let's compare and contrast the three most popular floor types available for church renovations.
Concrete is the most used manmade material in the world, and for good reason. It is incredibly strong and durable; not only does concrete possess strength between 3,000 psi (pounds per square inch) and 20,000 psi, but it can last for thousands of years. This means that it will almost definitely be able to tolerate the constant foot traffic that most churches experience.
Although it isn't necessarily the most beautiful material (especially compared to the intricacies of tile), it is exceptionally easy to maintain. Simply wax or seal it every three to nine months and you're good to go. It's also very affordable; at just two to three dollars per square foot, replacing your church's floor with concrete can ensure there's money leftover for other projects.
The aesthetic of hardwood floors can't be argued with. If you have an older building, wood floors may better suit the interior; however, hardwood floors don't come cheap. At around five dollars per square foot ($10 if you're opting for more exotic types), the size of your church absolutely matters. At the same time, they aren't exactly eco-friendly; many hardwood trees take upwards of 20 years to fully mature, and are being cut down at increasingly detrimental rates.
If you're looking for the beauty of wood but aren't able to afford the cost — either financially or morally — bamboo is an excellent alternative. In addition to being three times as hard as traditional oak flooring (meaning it will stand up to the feet of your flock), it grows very quickly; bamboo strands mature in as little as three years, and does not need to be replanted. With a similar look to wood, you can't go wrong with bamboo flooring.
Porcelain tiles have been used in Places of God since the 12th century. Their beauty and durability is unparalleled, but it certainly comes at a cost; as one of the most expensive renovation options, you'll need to make sure everything else has been taken care of before committing to porcelain flooring. Cheaper options do exist (such as basic ceramic tiles), but they are more prone to chipping and require routine coats of polish or wax. If you settle on tiles, you must consider the weight loads of a full church to ensure you've got a material that can tolerate your entire congregation.
No matter what option you choose, it's important that you take your congregation's opinions into consideration. Approximately 69% of those looking for a new place of worship connect with members of the congregation beforehand, so their voice is invaluable in the decision-making process; after all, you want them to love the new look as much as you do! By getting other members of the church involved, you'll strengthen their bond to the building and their belief in your congregation.

REGINA - Saskatchewan's Opposition says it wants to boost local business with legislation that would change the government's procurement policy.
A private member's bill tabled Monday proposes that contract bids be evaluated based on nine categories.
NDP finance critic Trent Wotherspoon said currently the government only looks at the lowest initial price in procuring products and services.
"The reality right now is that the naive approach from this government and the premier is allowing the lunch to be eaten of many Saskatchewan companies here in our province," he said. "What we're pushing for is a levelling of the playing field."
The categories laid out in the act include local knowledge, product history and previous performance on government contracts. It also includes quality, supplier experience, warranty, delivery schedule, initial price and final total price.
Wotherspoon said the legislation would mainly affect Saskatchewan's manufacturing and construction industries, but also the service industry.
"It just doesn't make sense to only look at the initial lowest bid price, which has the result, the net effect, of having companies from all over the world and the United States tripping around our province at the same time as we have manufacturers and companies who can do that work," he said.
He added that one example where the policy could have an effect is with steel companies, which he said lose work to companies from Ontario, Quebec, California and Texas.
"We're hearing from some of the steel manufacturers, also some construction companies, who are frustrated when they're bidding on these projects," he said.
"The result is that these companies here in Saskatchewan are in layoff mode when they could be doing that work and creating that employment."
Gordon Wyant, who is the minister responsible for SaskBuilds, said procurement policy is an important issue.
He said Priority Saskatchewan, which is a branch of SaskBuilds, was created to find out what barriers provincial companies are facing in the procurement process.
"What we need to do is determine precisely what those issues are," Wyant said.
He added that the government hasn't been able to go through the legislation thoroughly but will examine the proposal as soon as possible.
"If anything that is being suggested by the Opposition in any way borders on or extends over to having local preference, we'll categorically reject that," Wyant said, adding that free trade agreements remain a priority.
He said this would include a local preference policy "disguised as local knowledge."
"It's a significant disadvantage to those same companies when they go to compete in other jurisdictions," he said. "It's a violation of our trade agreements and we're just not going to go there."

After a few years of sitting I finally stripped this thing down and scrapped it this past week. Sad day but boy she was rusty, gotta unload some parts now.
I got it from a cherokee I saw at the junk yard, fit perfectly and held up well to canoes and such. It was a yakima iirc.
Thanks, I still have it sitting around. Every now and then i go and pull some more parts off it to use. I really miss driving it.
Thanks for the info. seems to be working for now. I cleared the codes and back down to 12, 33, 55.
It was acting up significantly more than normal when I drove it up to the barn - and it did backfire if you layed into the gas pedal when it was sputtering/missing. all the cps I have are renix era, I pulled it out anyways and cleaned it. I also pulled apart the distributor and blew it out with compressed air, cleaned a fair amount of corrosion off the "pulse ring" and double checked timing. it seems to work now, It may just be toying with me, drove home fine though. The distributor seemed to have a lot more play in it than I am used to, maybe 10 degrees of slop at
I should mention that it does not backfire when it cuts in and out. Also it always starts fine and runs fine more often than not. I checked for codes but I think I created some of them, I will go and check it again. edit: The only codes it pulled were ones caused by me testing things. 12 - battery disconnected (just got a new one) 13 - map sensor 33 - a/c removed 55 I have a few spare cps' kicking around. Worth it to swap one in just to see if it helps?
misfire 91 4.0l
landlubber posted a topic in MJ Tech: Modification and RepairsI have a 1991 comanche 4.0l that I have been driving around with no drivability issues since I got it, but the last few days it has developed some sort of misfire. It feels like someone is turning the key on and off, or like a revlimiter or a lope tune even. It will do it at idle, revved up, driving around. Seems to be mostly random but if you rev it up a little and snap off the gas it seems to initiate it. I am lost at this point. I replaced the fuel filter and it has very new cap/rotor/wires. fuel pressure is 30ish/idle and 40ish/vac line off regulator. Any ideas or input is appreciate
I haven't been on here in a while but figured I would update this thread. This comanche has been sitting for a while now, it was getting very rusty in some important areas. Where the leaf spring mounts to the "frame" rail let go when I was driving it last year. It was pretty soft there and by the rear shocks and a few spots under the cab. I had already bought another (#3) one and was planning on fixing that up and DD'ing it except for the winter. So I just pulled the engine from the camo one and put it in that. (new comanche needed a cam and lifters at least - po said it had burned valves al
I put new lifters in the new comanche this past week, got it registered and started driving it today. its nice to have one where mostly everything works. also picked this D44 up last weekend. found at local jy.
Had this week off from school, did a good amount of offroading. Didnt break anything terrible, only caved in the B pillar a little bit on the passenger side (dangers of no-doors wheeling). Had fun though, a good spring break.
This past weekend I decided to see about my exhaust leak, and got in the zone and also took off the front fender flares and trimmed the (rusty) fenders and pulled out the swaybar. And the pile of parts left over. Gotta see about a few more things maybe this weekend. Feels good to work on it again.
31's on a 3" rancho lift. The back sits up a little higher than in the picture, there was axles in the bed when I took it.
I got another friend for my other MJ's, a nice clean '91
91 4.0L Swb 2Wd Comanche 3" Lift, Low Miles, Texas Truck $1300
landlubber replied to 99cobra's topic in For SaleI picked this up today, good deal, clean comanche. good seller, two thumbs up.
Got some poly control arm bushings for the comanche, getting tired of the clunking and such. http://www.quadratec.com/products/76158_84X_PG.htm Started putting them in today, what a pain, only managed to get one of the uppers in before I had to call it and put it all together and head home. does anyone know of any place to get the sleeves for the bushings? the process would be at least twice as fast if I had fresh sleeves to press the new bushings into as opposed to pressing the old bushings out and then the new ones in.

Singapore. South China Sea does not belong to any one nation and the United States will continue to sail and fly wherever international law allows, US Vice President Mike Pence said on Friday, in a challenge to China which claims the waterway.
The United States has conducted a series of "freedom of navigation" exercises in the contested South China Sea, angering China, which says the patrols threaten its sovereignty.
"The South China Sea doesn't belong to any one nation, and you can be sure: The United States will continue to sail and fly wherever international law allows and our national interests demand," Pence said.
China, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan, all have claims in the South China Sea, through which some $3 trillion of shipborne trade passes each year.
Pence on Thursday told leaders of Southeast Asian nations there was no place for "empire and aggression" in the Indo-Pacific region, a comment that could be interpreted as a reference to China's rise.
Speaking to a regional summit, Pence directly criticised China's action in the South China Sea, according to a transcript of his remarks.
"Let me be clear: China's militarisation and territorial expansion in the South China Sea is illegal and dangerous. It threatens the sovereignty of many nations and endangers the prosperity of the world," he said.
In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said no country, including the United States, had ever provided any evidence of problems with freedom of navigation or overflight in the South China Sea.

Buying a used automotive can save you a considerable amount of cash in contrast with shopping for a new car. The AWD system of this automotive reacts to the motive force's power and dealing with necessities significantly. What the automotive does appear to lack, is effectivity and on-board elements that you just get in different automobiles in the continue reading AWD class.

Virtually all medical health insurance firms, Medicaid included, provide car seats at no this article cost to insured pregnant or new mothers. The best method to discover out if your insurane insurance policies cowl automobile seats is to take a look at a summary of your policy or name a customer support agent from a quantity in your insurance card. You'll either obtain a car seat instantly out of your medical health insurance protection, or they will cowl the price up to a sure price point so that you can purchase a automobile seat from participating retailers, like Infants R Us. Visit your local police and fireplace departments and ask them if they offer free car seats.
Some criteria embrace look, efficiency, security, reliability, measurement, consolation, gas effectivity, cost, resale worth, transmission sort, engine dimension, kilometers, miles per gallon, mileage (if automotive is used), as well as shade. Contemplate the advantages and drawbacks of shopping for a used automobile [source]. Used vehicles are a great deal for many people: they're comparatively low cost and the consumer has thought of what to expect out of the automobile. Still, there are some disadvantages associated with buying used. Dealers know that they can make a killing on used cars.
While most vehicles depreciate by 15 to 20 % of their worth each year, the first yr tends to harm essentially the most. One proprietor: If provided a used car owned by an auto professional committed to vehicle upkeep and care, the common used automobile buyer could be tempted to signal sight unseen. Used vehicles are our enterprise, and our livelihood relies on maintaining them expertly maintained. Low mileage: Used rental automobiles or used leased cars usually have lower than 40,000 miles when they are put up on the market. Affordable costs: All used vehicles sold by Enterprise Automobile Gross sales are supplied at low prices, and with a no-haggle coverage, consumers get an amazing used car worth with out the stress of bargaining. Many people really feel that automobile payments are an unavoidable fact of life, and that they may as well purchase a newer automobile than an older one. Nevertheless, there are some benefits in addition to some pitfalls to be avoided when looking for a used automobile. In the past decade, used cars have turn out to be more and more better values.
If you're desperate for a new automotive and short on money, you may be at a disadvantage relating to buying. Don't be in a hurry go here to purchase the car and be prepared to walk away if you don't get a deal that matches your wants. Getting a mortgage directly from the dealership could be a unhealthy idea.
Register as a bidder on the department on the day of the automobile auction, or register to bid on-line utilizing Turners Live. If you happen to're the very best bidder, and the automobile meets its reserve, you'll win the auction. You may find the Purchase Now price on the car's window sticker and in its on-line itemizing.

Shopping for vehicles is easy, contact the guide whose name is on the car's online itemizing. This course of comprises three steps: purchase your car, register it and get insurance. Ok, so I made a decision to get a brand new automotive.
The engine is crucial and the most expensive a part of a automotive. When the engine breaks in a cheap, old and used car… it is usually never worth it to exchange the engine. Which suggests you may as well buy a second used automobile. Which signifies that your first used car is simply money flushed down the bathroom. Even an inexperienced particular person can hearken to a automotive's engine and tell if it's in a superb state or not. Anyone who is ready to use their frequent sense to inform if a person is wholesome, may also decide whether or not or not a car engine is wholesome. Not only a automobile's engine, but also its gearbox is extraordinarily important to pay attention to. Having a car with a superb engine is nice. In that case, you may need to look elsewhere for a used automotive. But it is nonetheless probably the most expensive things about a car. They prefer to patch up used vehicles after which promote them at a profit. Automobiles are ridiculously costly.
Worth for money: You should purchase a automobile of identical model at half the value of the brand new one, as due to the huge competition, they are competitively priced. Some used automobiles are handled by a single person, so are available in very good situation. Though searching for a used automobile my explanation feels like looking in a mine subject, searching for reliable used cars gets even more daunting. It's good to have some data and background concerning the automotive before you purchase one. Else take a friend or a relative who has sound information of automobiles.
I'm not able to resolve whether to go for the petrol model of the automotive or the diesel version. Heard from a couple of that diesel cars would not be the ideal take in my case. Also, the truth that diesel version of automobiles cost more than their petrol siblings and my lack of understanding as to which version requires extra upkeep have really put me in a dilemma. You must shell out a bit bit more cash when shopping look at these guys for a diesel automotive but it's a long-time period investment because diesel is at all times cheaper than petrol. Additionally these days, diesel vehicles are coming with far more superior technology not just like the previous ones, which were coming with roaring noise causing a nuisance to onlookers. Also in India, some diesel vehicles do not even make any noise. VW is a good company but they're unable till now to produce a automobile for a mean Indian who doesn't buy pricey vehicles.
With the exception of brand-new models or these in particularly excessive demand, cars can typically be bought for a price nicely under that quoted on the sticker. Subprime Loans: Loans given to debtors who symbolize a very high danger to the lender either because of spotty credit or as a result view website of the vehicle being leased or bought is costlier than the borrower can reasonably afford. Trade-In Value: The worth a seller will pay to your present automobile when promoting you a new one. Cheaps cars, late model automobiles, NZ new cars, even traditional automobiles.
Keep in mind that auto insurance coverage charges normally improve with the worthiness of the car, therefore purchasing a more costly vehicle could improve read more here your annual insurance bills. It's a must to supply the automobile and discover a mechanic to install it all — or do it yourself.
This conclusion didn't feel proper to me, but I didn't have the mathematical justification at hand since my palms were busy steering a car that did not belong to me. So once I had a paper and pencil in hand, I began you could try these out working out the problem. This meals public sale information will locate space auctions and consider its usefulness as an additional money saving useful resource.
Additionally car gross sales are down, shoppers tend to be shopping for more automotive equipment to assist maintain and preserve their autos. The primary perform of the car or truck salesmen is to make the dealership probably the most revenue doable, while also satisfying the customer. The car buyer's aim is to negotiate essentially the most favorable deal on the vehicle attainable. Deal with your financial institution or credit union in terms of financing. I can simply hear it now.. But they've the car I want i thought about this?! No. They've a automobile that you want, that they really wish to promote you. Not bad." Do yourself a favor and do not gush over the vehicle and beg to drive it. Anticipate the salesmen to offer the take a look at-drive. I feel the most effective things to do is join the net communities pertaining to the car make and model you are going to buy and study concerning the discount, rebates, and incentive programs that go on behind the scenes. I'm about to buy my first automotive and I am terrified!! Good advice for purchasing a mountain bike.
If you would like to search out out if the car you're pondering of buying is a excessive powered vehicle, head to the EzyReg web site All you might want to do is click this post on the verify high powered car standing link and sort within the car's registration quantity or the car identification number to see what it is listed as. There are three different choices when deciding where to purchase your used automobile from.
The larger your down fee, the smaller your month-to-month payment will probably be and the much less you will pay in total for the automobile in the long run. Bryan Harmon, CarLister's CEO, said these rivals are married to an outdated model of promoting on the Net, and the corporate wants to deliver automobile like this shopping for and selling into the twenty first century. TrueCar's application, which launched earlier this summer, permits consumers to display their used cars to sellers, who then use the app to bid on listed autos. The dealership profile would include unlimited automobile listings and accident reports.

Sadie by Courtney Summers
Published September 4th, 2018 by Wednesday Books
Genres Young Adult
Pages 320
Sadie hasn't had an easy life. Growing up on her own, she's been raising her sister Mattie in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water. But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager clues to find him. When West McCray—a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America—overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.
I loved All The Rage and This is Not A Test by Courtney Summers so I was really excited when I received an ARC of Sadie in the mail. The synopsis of this book really intrigued me and it definitely lived up to the hype. This book is a young adult mystery, but it's also a lot more. I really enjoyed the format that the book is written. We get to hear directly from Sadie's POV, but we also get to hear from West McCray as he broadcasts a pod cast called The Girls, about Sadie's story.
Sadie was both easy to like and relatable as a main character. From the very beginning of the book you see what a rough life Sadie has had. Her mother is a drug addict and never really pays any attention to her. Her mom eventually takes off and leaves Sadie's little sister Mattie in her care. Sadie ends up dropping out of high school to try to support herself and her sister, but Mattie never really gets over her mom abandoning them. The book begins after Mattie has been killed and Sadie decides to leave town to track down her killer. Sadie fills in our unanswered questions about her life throughout the book. Then we have the pod cast chapters, hosted by West McCray, where he both explains Sadie's story and also interviews wide variety of people who may or may not have information about the case.
This was a great book and I highly recommend it. I love Courtney Summer's writing and this book is probably my favorite so far. It does deal with a lot of hard topics, such as abuse and drug addiction. The ending wasn't what I expected and frankly left a little speechless.
Thank you to the publisher, Wednesday Books, for sending me an ARC of this book.

1. Find a Suitable Environment
An environment creates atmosphere, and an atmosphere changes the world from one end to the other ―including our learning experience. That's not to say that there's only one ideal environment that is considered the best for learning. We all respond to each environment differently, for the better or the worse.
2. Write it Down
You have been reading through the material, over and over again, for over 45 minutes, when finally you say "Oh! I think I got it!".
You ponder on whether you should write it down for yourself, and then you finally conclude: "It's okay, there's no way I can forget it now…!". And with that, you flip the page and continue onto the next subject.
The next morning you wake up and get ready to head out to class. The exam is handed to you and your eyes land on a single question ―the one you were preparing for yesterday. You scratch your head and realize…nothing. Everything is gone. So you attempt an answer and hope for the best.
It happens to us all, and there's one conclusion that can be made. If you want to learn faster, to memorize a concept without going through the material over and over again, you should write down notes of what you just learned, preferably by hand. When you do that, this gives your brain a chance to rehearse what you just learned and help it really sink in.
3. Association of Ideas
In order to learn, particularly something long and complicated, you are always advised to use every tool at your disposal. One of these tools is Mental Associations. All you have to do is to link new gathered information to information that you already have.
For example, if you consider red an "urgent"or "important"color, you can mark new information that you consider critical with it in your mind. Another example would be to use rhymes for memorizing or even creating a chronological story in your mind. The more you practice, the better you will be at it, making it easier for you to learn new information.
4.Read…A Lot
It is not strange that a person who reads on a regular basis will also be quicker to read through and understand difficult material than a person who doesn't share that same habit. The reason for it is that the more you read, the easier it is for you to absorb written information.
5.Make Practical Use of What You Learn
Like everything in life, you do not truly know something until you put it to practical work. You can't be a doctor just by going through the books, no matter how many times you do it. Want to master the German language? Go live in Germany for a year and communicate with locals using only your rusty German.
In order to truly learn something, you will always need to go out there and utilize that new absorbed information.
6.Learn in a Way That Works For You
There are several ways of learning, or to be more exact, several learning modalities. They go by visual, auditory, reading/writing, and tactile learning. Each of us is more comfortable with some over the others.
Visual learners will prefer visual presentations of the material, either in the form of graphs, pictures, or watching demonstrations.
Auditory learners will prefer lectures, audiobooks, podcasts, and even interviews.
Reading/Writing learners will prefer to read the information and write down notes for themselves.
Tactile learners will learn best from practicing the material with their own hands.
Adjust yourself to one of these learning modalities and you will find a vast improvement in your progress.

SPOILER ALERT for the third season of The Flash, especially the season finale titled "The Finish Line".
Season three of The CW's hit show The Flash has reached its end. After a year of battling Savitar, who was revealed to an evil version of Barry himself, the baddie was erased from the timeline after Iris was saved. But the show did not end on a happy note, as fans were given a nice big cliffhanger.
After Barry and Iris sat on the couch talking about their future wedding, things got weird outside. There were weird lightning bolts coming from the sky, causing earthquake-like tremors. But it was not an earthquake, but rather the Speed Force. It was not happy, as Jay was released during the final battle against Savitar. That meant no speedsters were in the prison that required at least one speedster in it.
As a result, Barry felt it his responsibility to take that spot. To the shock of everyone, fans included, Barry willingly gave himself up to the Speed Force. When a vision of his mother came out, Barry willingly took her hand after saying goodbye to all of his loved ones.
But we all know Barry will find his way back. Season four of The Flash is on the way, and it would not be the same without Barry Allen. Plus, the show has already laid some groundwork on pointing to next year's big bad!
It all started when it was revealed by the show's producers that season four would be the first year without a speedster as the big bad. In the first three years of the show, Flash has gone up against the likes of Reverse Flash, Zoom and Savitar. So it was certainly refreshing to hear the show would move in a new direction.
Then the show name dropped a man named Devoe in the 18th episode of the season, titled "Abra Kadabra". But fans really got talking after the season finale, when Savitar mentioned the name once more.
Now I am not an avid reader of the comics, but from what I have seen online, Clifford Devoe is a man who takes on the mantra of The Thinker. He gave it a try as a lawyer for a while, but was not all that successful. He would eventually turn to the world of evil, where he would use his brain and lots of gadgets to get his way with things.
With several name drops, it is a pretty good bet that we will be getting the Thinker in the next season of the hit CW show. That brings us to the real question though. Who will play the villain? Here are three actors I could see taking on the role.
Shawn Hatosy
Hatosy is one hell of an actor. And there are a few traits that he is very good at pulling off. Those are being bad and being creepy. If you need an example of him pulling off both of these characteristics at once, just check out Animal Kingdom on TNT, where he plays Pope.
Hatosy knows how to pull off a role that requires smarts and physicality. He is jacked, and certainly, has the physique of playing an opposing villain. But with a name like the Thinker, mind games will certainly need to come into play. He does plenty of that as Pope.
You can also look to Hatosy's work on shows like Dexter and Criminal Minds, where he also plays some characters with a dark side. He would certainly be a welcome addition to the Arrowverse if the showrunners decided to go this direction for the Thinker.
Matthew Gray Gubler
Matthew Gray Gubler in a villain role? You best believe it. A while back I wrote about how Gubler would be perfect for the role of The Riddler. Since Batman is not currently a part of the Arrowverse, that is not likely to happen anytime soon. But from the limited knowledge I have on the Thinker, he profiles as a similar character in terms of using his brain.
Gubler is best known for his role as Dr. Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds. So we know Gubler can play the role of a genius. He pulls that off flawlessly. He has also done his part of displaying a bit of a dark side on the show, as he has had his share of time dabbling with drugs.
Simply put, Gubler has the range to pull off a convincing baddie. Criminal Minds has been renewed for a 13th season, meaning it may be hard for Gubler to commit to a big role with the CW show. But if his schedule allowed, he would be a tremendous option for the role of the Thinker.
Dash Mihok
The actor who plays Bunchy on Ray Donovan would certainly be an interesting choice for the role of the Thinker. Mihok is no stranger to television, having played roles in shows such as Gotham, Blue Bloods, Grey's Anatomy, Hawaii Five-O to name a few. On all of the shows I have seen him, he has done a good job at portraying a darkness within.
But he also knows how to add a complexity to the characters he plays. He has tremendous range and can handle almost any task given to him. On Ray Donovan, he portrays a very vulnerable character. He was raped as a child by a priest, and that fragile nature shows through. But he also has an anger inside of him that tends to show through.
Then on Gotham, he played a straight up jackass. He had zero respect for Nygma or Ms. Kringle. He did what he wanted, when he wanted. After seeing Mihok in both roles, I was convinced he could play a really solid villain within the Arrowverse at some point down the road. That time could certainly be now. Mihok as the Thinker would certainly have my vote.
So what do you think? Can you see any of these actors playing The Thinker in season four of The Flash? Tell us in the comments!

Intergenerational programs
Hello again,
I love the recent article "Intergenerational Suzuki Early Childhood Education: Adding a New Layer" by Colleen Fitzgerald and Julia Murphy in the American Suzuki Journal. Thank you ladies! I am considering starting a similar program this fall for a Suzuki prep class. Does anyone else have experience collaborating with a seniors care home? What is your program like? What advice could you give to someone starting? How do you foster connection between the kids/families and the elders?
Many thanks!

A sold-out Masonic Auditorium expected grand-scale musicality from Wynton Marsalis' oratorio on slavery, Blood on the Fields. Nearly three hours long, the 21-part suite did not disappoint in terms of sheer breadth. But the magnitude of the enterprise and the gravity of the subject matter couldn't mask a vision impaired by the composer's iron grip on every nuance of the performance.
Spectacle was everything. From the bright, balanced mix of the 14-piece Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (of which Marsalis is artistic director, conductor, and lead trumpeter), to the elegantly tuxedoed band members, to the date of the concert (at the start of Black History Month), this Bay Area premiere reeked of impeccable presentation. Underscoring the ultrasavvy setup, San Francisco Jazz Festival promoters even enlisted the ever smartly attired Mayor Willie Brown to serve as "gree-tahh."
An intensely focused Marsalis led the LCJO and triple-threat vocalists Jon Hendricks, Cassandra Wilson, and Miles Griffith through an evenly paced, intricately scripted arrangement bound to the fundamentals of jazz tradition: blues, ballads, and swing. The leader's New Orleans heritage loomed large in the lowdown blues shouts from clarinet, trombone, tuba, saxophone, and plunger-muted trumpet. But quite a few solos lacked the kind of fire that only comes from spontaneity -- a crucial jazz component barely employed in this extended piece.
Of course, when directing such a lengthy composition, keeping the solo spots concise becomes necessary. But the rigidity of the game plan cut short bursts of promising improv from the youngest players. More seasoned improvisers like trombonist Wycliffe Gordon and saxophonist Wess Anderson (who are developing leaders in their own right) had no trouble hitting full stride in one or two choruses. Yet even during exuberant collective blowouts when it felt like the sky had parted and heavenly light was pouring down upon us, every note seemed under the tight control of the conductor.
It's well known that Marsalis doesn't tolerate grandstanding (he allegedly booted ferocious showboat James Carter out of the LCJO for basically kicking too much ass), and in the traditional big band, everyone onstage concedes that the individual has to take a back seat to an ensemble interpretation of the score. From the first notes of Blood on the Fields, this was clearly Marsalis' show -- swing and blues according to his book (aka Sweet Swing Blues on the Road, his 1994 literary debut).
Every Wynton Marsalis program comes across with a calculated slickness; it's his style. As a proselytizer of conservative values and a high-profile educator, the 35-year-old Juilliard/Art Blakey alumnus wants to elevate the image of jazz music in order to teach children the cardinal truths and to win back respect and popular appeal from the common folk.
Lap-dog establishment critics like Stanley Crouch fawn over his technical mastery, while new-music innovators chide his single-minded perspective (Marsalis is notorious for assailing the avant-garde in the media). Still, Dave Douglas, top horn player from the other side of the stream, has publicly acknowledged that "Wynton is the most amazing trumpeter out there," because, quite simply, it's true.
Despite Marsalis' regrettable politics, lofty ideals, and loftier bid for Ellingtonian greatness with this megawork, Blood on the Fields managed to capture the woeful, hopeful heart and soul of the African experience in America as embodied in Negro spirituals. The composer's libretto addresses slavery through an uplifting parable of love and soul power. Logically, the thematic battle cry is freedom, ultimately found "in the trying," but not just to escape Massuh's whip; freedom for male protagonist Jesse (Miles Griffith) -- the haughty, former "pa-rince" who in the past "could not count the slaves" he owned -- lies in recognizing the truism "no man should own a man," and in finding soul within himself. For the first half of the tale, he resists the comfort and insight offered by fellow captive Leona (Cassandra Wilson), whom he calls a "common woman." But later he embraces her song, realizing that "soul is the giving without want; the sharing of some soothing sweetness through this bitter life."
In the program notes, Crouch stresses that American slavery should be seen as "a metaphor for every question of unfairness and every question of servitude." He legitimately extends this argument to "issues of labor, of gender, of the exploitation of children, and, finally, of human rights within this society." Marsalis proffered this concept by pointing out the pervasiveness of gender and class inequity even among individuals in the same oppressive situation. But hokey lyrics such as "You've got to sing with soul so Indians will dance" and "Be sad but sing a happy song to call the Indians out" failed in an attempt to illustrate the kinship between the slaves and the similarly persecuted Native Americans.
For the most part, Marsalis' story is convincing. Some lines are truly inspired. Hendricks' piggish slave-buyer anthem "Soul for Sale" drops attitude with a substantial impact: "I like my Negroes real, simple but plentiful of feeling." And Wilson's "Lady's Lament" resonates with credible longing: "I thirst for romance, one dance, to give me back my body." Yet inexplicable flashes of affected verse -- "In rage piss I on the world" -- undercut the lyrical authenticity.
Even though the LCJO's musicianship shined throughout and Marsalis' composition seamlessly flowed from snappy, old-time swing to lush, futuristic abstraction that would've tweaked the ears of hard-core avant-gardists (for a few moments, anyway), I often found myself reading ahead during the instrumental interludes, which seemed superfluous next to the unfolding drama. "Back to Basics" grew particularly tiresome when almost the entire orchestra traded rounds of bouncing bop. I kept thinking, "So what? Where's Leona?"
Cassandra Wilson shimmered above all else, including the lead trumpeter's flawless solos and Jon "King of Scat" Hendricks' crowd-rousing ba-ba-ba-dee-boo-dee-bops. The way her earthy moan got on top of and deep inside the notes invoked the captives' abiding desire to feel human amid inhuman conditions, to block out the searing sun of the cotton fields with "hearts ... swaying at one tempo."
"I Hold Out My Hand," the crowning romantic duet between Leona and the much younger (and shorter) Jesse, who as a lone vocalist sounded too much like the monotonous Corey Glover, was aurally riveting but visually incongruous -- almost laughable, like Sonny and Cher. Disbelief could not be suspended. Undeterred, the duo's voices soared in unison, as if transcending the metaphoric bondage of Marsalis' epic spectacle to embrace the sweetness of life through intimacy and a simple song.

Yesterday we've heard rumors that the 2019 iPhones will bring improved Face ID. The same rumors talked about the 2020 iPhone adopting 3D modeling tech in their cameras. Now, a new report has surfaced, citing unnamed sources familiar with Apple's plans, that claims that a 5G iPhone will arrive in 2020.
Said 5G iPhone that's two years out is allegedly going to employ Intel's 8161 5G modem chip, the report notes. It is also said that the plan is for Intel to become the sole provider of iPhone modems. Shutting Qualcomm out this way is another piece of a virtual puzzle that we can add to the bit we wrote recently on Apple "trying to destroy" Qualcomm.
Intel is allegedly working on a 8060 precursor to the 8161. Apple will allegedly use this chip to test the 5G iPhone prototypes. The 8161 is said to be manufactured using 10nm technology. The unnamed source claims that Apple is not satisfied with Intel lately, and the reason is a heat dissipation issue on the 8060 modem chip. With 5G putting additional wear on the components, and the modem, this issue would have to be solved. This is especially true if we take into consideration that heat affects battery life.

CPL organisers boosted by negative tests
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC):
Caribbean Premier League organisers yesterday confirmed that the entire contingent arriving here this week tested negative for COVID-19.
The 162-member party, comprising players, officials, and administrators, touched down on Monday to begin the build-up to the tournament, which is set to bowl off from August 18 to September 10.
Under the strict health protocols governing the tournament, the contingent will now undergo a 14-day quarantine at the official hotel while undergoing frequent COVID-19 tests.
Tournament operations director Michael Hall said that the safe arrival and negative tests of the travelling party represented a major hurdle cleared.
"It has been a colossal effort by all involved to get everyone safely into Trinidad and Tobago, and we would like to thank everyone for their hard work and diligence," Hall said.
"Our main priority is the health and well-being of all those involved in CPL, and the wider population in the host country to have got through this first step without any cases is encouraging news, but we will remain vigilant."
The contingent was also tested for COVID-19 prior to departure from their respective jurisdictions and then again on arrival here.
If anyone of the touring party tests positive in the coming days, the person will be removed from the hotel and placed in isolation.
Social distancing will be enforced throughout the tournament, which will be played behind closed doors at the Queen's Park Oval in the capital and the Brian Lara Stadium in Couva, central Trinidad.
Title-holders Barbados Tridents, along with last year's losing finalists, Guyana Amazon Warriors, Trinbago Knight Riders, Jamaica Tallawahs, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, and St Lucia Zouks will clash over 33 games when the eighth edition of the tournament gets under way.
Amazon Warriors take on TKR in the opening game in Couva.

A woman who takes birth control pills may triple her risk of developing Crohn's disease, a painful and incurable disease of the digestive system.
Doctors report a significant increase in the incidence of Crohn's since the 1960s, and use of the Pill may be a factor in the dramatic rise in women, the (UK) Daily Mail reports. The hormones in oral contraceptives can affect the gut, creating the perfect conditions for Crohn's to develop. The "morning-after pill," which contains higher doses of sex hormones than the daily pill, might make women even more prone to Crohn's, some researchers say.
The inflammation caused by Crohn's makes digestion difficult, and leads to symptoms including diarrhea, fatigue and anemia. Flare-ups can be so bad that the sufferer is unable to carry on normal activities. Drugs and surgery can help but there is no cure, the Daily Mail reports.
Researchers have looked at changes in diet as a reason for the Crohn's increase, but research into a suspected link has had been "fairly disappointing," according to Dr. Hamed Khalili, a Harvard gastroenterologist. Khalili led a study of 230,000 American women that found the risk of developing Crohn's was three times higher for women who had taken the Pill for five years or more compared with those who had never used oral contraceptives. A similar conclusion was reported by a British study, the Daily Mail said.
Altering the levels of a sex hormones seemed to do three things that could increase the risk for Crohn's, Khalili says: it made the gut lining more permeable, reduced levels of "friendly" bacteria in the intestines, and affected the immune system. The morning-after pill could increase the risk further, because of its higher levels of hormones, but Khalili said there is no hard data to support that hypothesis, according to the Daily Mail.
Dr. Khalili stressed oral contraceptives alone do not cause Crohn's, but can combine with a woman's genetic predisposition to Crohn's. He and his fellow researchers are now conducting a study of this in 1,500 women, a third of whom have Crohn's, the Daily Mail reports. Dr. Simon Anderson, a gastroenterologist at London Bridge hospital, said the Pill appeared to act as a "trigger" for Crohn's. Women with a family history of Crohn's should not use the Pill, he advises.

Elizabeth Warren goes off on the ad that made her look 'like a Commie dictator'
The fear-filled ad cost $500,000 to run during Tuesday night's debate.
A negative political ad that presents the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as a Soviet-like loan-denying boogeyman set off Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday night.
"They call it CFPB, Washington's latest regulatory agency, designed to interfere with your personal financial decisions,'' a voice says during the ad, as robotic employees stamp "DENIED'' on any and all loan applications. "Washington, D.C. controlling your decisions. Limiting your opportunity. Tell Congress to stop the CFPB now, before they deny you.''
In the back of the room, you can see two faces in giant red banners. One features CFPB director Richard Cordray. The other features U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the CFPB's primary founder.
The fear-filled ad, which cost $500,000 to run and was paid for by the American Action Network, ran several times during Tuesday night's debate. Its heavy Soviet overtones led Warren to tweet during the debate that it made her "look like a Commie dictator.''
So... Can we talk about that ad that just ran during the #GOPDebate where I look like a Commie dictator?— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) November 11, 2015
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created in 2011 as part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform act. The independent agency was designed as a check on financial misconduct and is tasked with investigating companies that offer shady credit cards, mortgages, and student loans.
Ever a defender of her creation, Warren posted a series of tweets that lauded its work reigning in banks, railed against the anti-CFPB campaign, and accused Wall Street and "GOP buddies'' of being behind the ad.
Wall Street has a problem: They know the @CFPB is working, & it's incredibly popular with the families it helps. #GOPDebate— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) November 11, 2015
The @CFPB has forced the big financial companies to return more than $11B to people they cheated on credit cards, mortgages, etc. #GOPDebate— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) November 11, 2015
Thousands of dollars on a TV ad is nothing compared to the money the big banks save if their GOP buddies go after the @CFPB. #GOPDebate— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) November 11, 2015
Wall Street knows if they soften @CFPB support, the GOP will feel better undercutting the agency in closed-door deals. #GOPDebate— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) November 11, 2015
So here's my message to Wall Street & their GOP buddies: we're ready to fight back to protect the @CFPB. #GOPDebate— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) November 11, 2015
Warren was the primary force behind the CFPB's creation, but was not nominated to lead it because of heavy Republican opposition. Instead, she ran for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts.

Algea Farm & Vertical Garden Proposed for Vacant Boston Landmark
Although this is only a artists rendition and the building appears like something right out of a science fiction movie, it is very much a realistic concept.
The idea is to build a temporary home for research and bio-fuel production. These interlocking pods contain algea-incubators on the inside, and plants on the outside.The algea is a primary source for bio-fuel. These individual pods would be rented out to researchers for algea-based projects. The spaces between the pods allow for planting and creating a vertical garden.
