One thing I learned entering the second year of Elsewhere Plans: it's gonna be a hell of a lot easier this year. Turns out, a lot of things worth going to are worth going to twice. Who know? I'll be updating as necessary, but much of the information is a foundation on which to build a solid Animal House. We're in the last month of Summer in the northern hemisphere, which means we're getting to the end of Festival Season. Lots of music festivals hitting the climax, not so many cultural ones. As before, you can look into even more music festivals near you through this guide courtesy of Music Festival Junkies.
As has become the staple here, an easy to read Google Calendar version.
The Elsewhere Man's Top 5
Street Parade Zurich, Outside Lands, Shambhala, Burning Man, La Tomatina
1-3rd – Nozstock the Hidden Valley (Hereford, England) – When I think about Jurassic Park style surroundings, that seclusion, Costa Rica jumps to mind. Maybe Guatemala or Brazil. Not fuckin' Hereford, England. I don't think the dinosaurs were into tea and crumpets. But god bless 'em for trying. I love the theme. And it does have the small, intimate atmosphere that you'd want from a festival, so if they want to play the Land That Noz Forgot, then by all means, get your rawr on.
1-3rd – Lollapalooza (Chicago, Illinois) – One of America's premiere music festivals in the heart of one of it's biggest cities. It's also one of the only big festivals to lack a camping portion. Because of this, it tends to skew a little further away from the drugged out hippy culture you may expect. I'm not saying you shouldn't go out of your mind in a mildly-offensive native headdress, just that some parents may cover their kids' eyes when you do. This year, they've gone cashless, meaning you can pay just by tapping your wristband. Because if there's one thing intoxicated people needed, it was an easier way to spend money.
1-4th – Þjóðhátíð/Westman Islands Festival (Heimaey, Iceland) – If somebody sends me a recording of themselves saying this festival's name five times fast, I will personally mail you my jaw after it falls to the floor. I'll even sign it. But be careful, the last guy that tried pronounced it wrong and accidentally summoned a demon. So, you know, there's that. This is a three-day party for the locals, so make friends with them. You might get some puffin kebabs out of it.
1-11th – Esala Perahera (Kandy, Sri Lanka) – I'm not sure how a display of the original Buddha's tooth turned into an extravagant parade of elephants dressed up like Christmas trees, but there you go. Cultures are weird. It's a bright and festive mood, but your enjoyment of it might hinge on whether you think it's abuse to dress the elephants up like that. Some people do. Personally, I think the only abuse going on is how ugly some of the dressings are (heeeeeey!), but it's up to you.
1-25th – Fringe Festival (Edinburgh, Scotland) – When I was in Edinburgh last year, I was told that Fringe was both the most amazing and the most infuriating time of the year for the whole city. That's the trouble with hosting something cool… lots of people want to go. Personally, I can put up with a lot of shit from crowds for the smallest things (I may be the only Angeleno on Earth that doesn't mind traffic, who knew?), so a month of music, art, books, and shows are worth a little jostling to me.
2nd – Street Parade (Zurich, Switzerland) – In 2010, Berlin's Love Parade was cancelled after a crowd rush killed dozens of people and injured hundreds. But you know what they say, when you fall off the horse, and that horse crushes you to death in a crowd rush, get your mangled body back in the saddle. The Street Parade is the Love Parade's spiritual successor, but it's got better planning to (hopefully) prevent any huge disasters. But hey, if people are down to run with the bulls, then walking with people should be a breeze.
2-3rd – Hard Summer (Los Angeles, California) – My opinion of Hard's events has shifted a lot. I used to think they were fantastic and I would never want to miss them. Then again, I also used to think the whole Kandi PLUR culture was cool. Now, they're really kind of gross and very saturated with 15 year olds rolling tits for the first time, sucking on pacifiers and asking you for your Rave Name. But hey, if that's your thing (that is, if you are also 15 years old, or a predator), then you'll have a good time.
4-10th – Guca Brass Festival (Guca, Serbia) – It's hard to believe a town of 5,000 people could draw 600,000 visitors just to watch a Battle of the Brass Bands. But hey, bigger crowds have gathered for worse reasons, and when Miles Davis is impressed with the trumpet section, it lends a bit of legitimacy to the bands on stage, no matter what kind of name recognition they have. And considering how shitty EDM festivals have become lately, it's a good chance to get outside your comfort zone. And when EDM becomes the comfort zone compared to jazz, the world is a very strange place indeed.
4-11th – Boom Festival (Idanha-a-Nova, Portugal) – Boom is such a great word. It's the thumping bass that rattles your ribcage. It's the town Tomorrowland takes place in. It's short enough that saying it, like, five times gives it some semantic satiation, and it no longer sounds like a word. Boom boom boom. Hard to think about, but that's the point of music. To make you feel it, not think it. Boom Festival in Portugal is on a Biennial schedule, which means if you don't make it this year, it's gonna be a long two years before you get the chance again. Boom boom boom.
5-9th – Øyafestivalen (Oslo, Norway) – Norway is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet. The writer of How To Train Your Dragon set it there just so he could visit for "research purposes." That really doesn't matter much in the context of Øya, considering the festival is set in the city of Oslo and you're not gonna be watching the bands perform from the tip of Trolltunga. But it's still one of the best music festivals in Europe according to dozens of authorities, and if it's enough to draw you into the country, it'll be enough to make you want to see more.
6-10th – Boardmasters (Cornwall, England) – No matter what people tell me, I still don't believe the English can surf. I mean, they say they can. I had a good friend visit who told me she and her ex surf all the time, and that they were really good at it. Then we visited Byron Bay, and though you could trip and fall onto a surfboard in that town, I never saw her on the water. So this festival celebrating English surfing could very well be a great time on the beach. Or it could be a bunch of people in monocles talking about a wave they once caught. English culture.
7-9th – Oppikoppi (Limpopo, South Africa) – When you read down to Sziget, you're gonna get a sense of my love of festivals with ridiculous names. Sure, they can mean something in another language or be the name of a place, but they're so much easier to remember and connect with when the name originally reminds you of something you'd find in a Batman sound effect. And Africa needed a festival like that. The African landscape is a nice draw, but if you want to get there for free, enter some of the events on site (read: Naked Olympics, exactly what it says on the tin) to win passes to next year's fest.
7-9th – Way Out West (Gothenburg, Sweden) – You gotta hand it to the Swedes… they make awesome tunes. From the indie folk of José Gonzalez to Shout Out Louds' rock to some kind of techno mafia or whatever they're called, they run the gamut of great. And they all seem to go home for Way Out West. Of course, there's a good chance that half the people I'm thinking of are actually Swiss. I'm American, forgive my geography.
7-9th – Isle of Dreams (Sea of Galilee, Israel) – Maybe it's the constant threat of warfare and the hot chicks in bikinis carrying assault rifles, but Israel never really seemed like a party town. And Isle of Dreams isn't an Israeli festival – it's also going on in Switzerland and Turkey – but the Israeli festival is definitely the one to attend. It takes place on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus is said to have performed most of his major miracles. So hey, even if you don't believe in that stuff, it's got a reputation for neat stuff happening.
7-10th – Wilderness Festival (Charlbury, England) – I learned a new term while looking up this festival. "Bobo." It's an affluent person who still maintains the hippy idealism of their drugged out youth. So basically, you backpackers, plus twenty years and the idea that you may actually have some money one day. Wilderness Festival is apparently full of these Bobos, which could either make it mom-trying-to-impress-your-friends lame, or really motherfucking fun. I guess it's up to your tastes.
7-10th – Bristol Balloon Festival (Bristol, England) – It's a shame balloons aren't that popular anymore. Who knows why, but oh the humanity! They've gone from "Around the World in 80 Days" to "Up and Down a Street in New York on Thanksgiving." But they still have potential to be awesome, and the Bristol Balloon Festival is one of the events trying to make sure they're seen that way. The Nightglow, when the balloons are inflated in the dark and lit up like lanterns, give the event a music festival vibe, so their heads are in the right place.
7-24th – Darwin Festival (Darwin, Australia) – I'm a sucker for long festivals. After a few days, it stops being an event and starts being a way of life. Darwin is already a backpacking destination during the winter months (it's the only place in Australia that stays warm and tropical, really), so arriving to a platter of workshops, concerts, and cabarets is akin to finding Nirvana. It may be a bit crowded, given the small nature of the city, but hey, sharing is caring.
8-10th – Outside Lands (San Francisco, California) – Take the world class lineup (and world class looking audience) of Coachella, the cool, inner-city location of Lollapalooza, and toss in the cuisine and drink of NorCal. That's Outside Lands. Like Lollapalooza, there's no camping, so expect an older crowd again. Feel free to drug it up – it's San Francisco, you won't be alone – but I find this to be a better opportunity for spending your attention on the food and wine, as far as festival accoutrements go.
8-11th – Shambhala (Salmo, British Columbia) – In Buddhism, Shambhala is a hidden paradise city in Asia. You've probably heard of it by its bastardized western name, Shangri-La. I've said for a while now that music festivals are the modern paradise, but even still, It's a lofty eponym to aspire to, but if the War of 1812 taught us anything, it's that Canadians don't shy away from something that could come back and bite them in the ass.
10th – Full Moon Party (Koh Phangan, Thailand) – I always give EDM festivals a hard time for involving ridiculous foreigners getting out of control. So I don't know why I'll give the Full Moon Party such high marks. Maybe because I've been. I've seen the people fucking in the water while logs of human shit float right into them. And yet, there's still something fun about the beach party that makes it okay, if only just once. And while I normally just refer to past articles for info on this one, the August event will involve a Super Moon. Which has no bearing on anything at all in reality, but you can bet people there will make it a thing.
10th – City2Surf (Sydney, Australia) – I totally forgot to include San Francisco's Bay 2 Breakers Run in the Elsewhere Plans past, which is a shame, because it used to be the largest city run in the world. Until Sydney started its City2Surf run, so I guess it all balances out. City2Surf is directly inspired by Bay 2 Breakers, which means that it comes with all the delightful weirdness. Costumes, naked runners, course-wide drinking… of course, you could take it seriously and run it as a real champion, but why would you?
10th – La Pourcailhade (Hautes-Pyrénées, France) – When you're' traveling, your nutrition goes to shit. Living off Instant Noodles and cheesy beans only keeps us alive because we're in our early 20s and our metabolism is spicy hot fire. So when you do get the opportunity to feast, you take it. The Festival of the Pig, in France, is literally that. All the pork you can eat, along with porcine races, shows, and even impressions. It's like that opening scene of Spirited Away, but without the nightmares.
10-12th – Puck Fair (Killorglin, Ireland) – Did you know that, despite all reputations, all bars in Ireland close at 2 am? And people give America shit. That's why everybody loves the Puck Fair, when the King Puck (a wild goat found in the mountains) is captured and put on display for three days. Goats don't care about drinking laws, so while the King Puck rules over the town, bars stay open for an extra hour and the townspeople take advantage. Somehow they stay coherent enough to put on a bunch of other events as well, but we know why you're going there.
11-17th – Monterey Auto Week and Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance (Carmel, California) – This one's for the motorheads out there (that's car enthusiasts, not crack fans). Every year, one one week, Monterey turns into the biggest and best place to check out all the cars you will never, ever get to drive. The final day is the Concours d'Elegance, the only place to see the 200 nicest cars in the world, including the only extant Phantom Corsair around. Take a look at these things, and imagine how much classier the drunk driving must have been back in the day.
11-18th – Sziget (Budapest, Hungary) – I love nonsense festival names. Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza. Sziget is either the name of the island where the music festival is held or the sound Hungarians make when they sneeze. What I do know is that this seven day island bash is one of the craziest and biggest festivals in the entire world. The organizers have successfully fought off lawsuits by the city to keep the noise levels down, because fuck the man, punk's not dead (though it is a little more self aware, I guess). They operate a "party train" service to bring people in from all over the world. Try to get on it.
13-15th – Obon (Japan) – When I first started this these guides, I told myself I would have a nice amount of cultural events to balance out all the deliberate monstrosities of debauchery I'd be focusing on. Karmic balance and all that. Summer months tend to swing a little further towards the sunny sessions, so Obon is gonna have to make up a lot of work. As the Japanese version of Day of the Dead, Obon is heavily about family, so don't expect too many lavish public gatherings. However, it does have some local extravagence. Take note, though. Obon is celebrated at different times in different parts of the country, so don't miss out because you got on the wrong train.
13-16th – Tetsuya Odori (Gujohachiman, Japan) – You're already in Japan for Obon, but for some reason the locals aren't too keen on having you sit in on their family gathering. That's okay. In Gujohachiman, Obon is more of an interruption for a festival already taking place – the Gujo Odori, a gigantic month-long dance party for everybody involved. During Obon, it turns into the Tetsuya Odori, and for four nights straight, you'll be dancing from 8 PM to 5 AM. It doesn't matter how good you are at dancing – just stand next to the people that do and see how well you can blend in. Now, if you're already a good dancer, you should be on your way to Argentina already…
13-26th – Tango Festival (Buenos Aires, Argentina) – Last year, I wrote about how seriously South Americans take their dancing. For two weeks, the city practically turns into High School Musical with dances going on everywhere. This year, it's gonna be a dangerous game of wait-and-see with the World Cup going on. If Argentina does well (and hey, Neymar's out), then there will be reason to be dancing in the streets. If they don't, well… the locals may not be too enthusiastic.
14-16th – Pukkelpop (Kiewit, Belgium) – Ah, here we go. Back to the straight up music festivals. And sure enough, it's in Belgium. Why does Belgium get all the great music festivals? Pukkelpop sounds like it should be the embarrassingly inebriated cousin of Pinkpop, vomiting on the table in front of guests and falling out of its chair. Like Pinkpop, Pukkelpop is a little more rock-oriented, but it still brings in plenty of pop and electronic acts. It also gives free camping along with the ticket, because Pukkelpop has learned a thing or two about tent management in years past.
15-17th – Philadelphia Folk Festival (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) – A year or so ago, my parents went to a Jimmy Buffet concert in Philadelphia. Parrotheads are a special brand of old person – they're generally upstanding members of the public, pay their taxes, take their metamucil, but get a margarita in them and suddenly they can make their teenage children look like the Cosby Kids. Now, I'm not saying that the Philadelphia Folk Festival will have that kind of audience. Shit, I've never even been. But I do know that it's a very parent-friendly festival, and parents at festivals like to remember what it was like to be teenagers at festivals. It's a tough call whether the better show is on stage or in the crowd.
16th – Henley-on-Todd Regatta (Alice Springs, Australia) – The only regatta in the world to be cancelled because of wet weather. Maybe the only one that encourages boat-to-boat combat. This overland boat race combines the ridiculousness of San Francisco's Bay to Breakers Run with the awesome drinking power Australians are known for the world over. Put a boat together (or, well, a trash heap that looks like one) or race on a giant hamster wheel… just don't puke on it. Save that for later.
16th – Il Palio (Sienna, Italy) – I've written about Il Palio several times in the past, including last month. It's a horserace for people who don't like horseracing. The actual event is, like, 90 seconds long around a single plaza, and you have to stand in place for hours to actually see it. The real fun is wandering the city and taking in the party atmosphere. Pick a Contrada to root for and act like you've lived their your entire life. And if that horse finishes the race without its rider in sight, well, there's always the afterparties.
16-17th – Mount Hagen Cultural Show (Mount Hagen, Papua New Guinea) – Cultural shows are a little weird. On one hand, the tourism dollars do wonders for the small local economy, and anthropologically speaking, it's probably the best way to preserve these island cultures. On the other hand, it's a little, I don't know, zoo-ish? I don't think I'd feel good if a Martian came to my dance recital and started taking pictures to put on Thoraxbook. Either way, it's the Mount Hagen Cultural Show. Take it or leave it. I hope the dancing is entertaining.
16-17th – Summer Sonic (Tokyo/Osaka, Japan) – Asia doesn't have a whole lot of music festivals that appeal to me. It's often more about culture and tradition, and when it's not, you get shit like Gangam Style and J-Pop. Summer Sonic takes its inspirations a little further, making it more accessible to western tourists. So if you decide that you're not too into listening to three chicks with giant pink anime hair, you can at least go listen to an artist you know with giant purple curly hair. You can go to either location, as they share acts.
16-17th – V Festival (Staffordshire, England) – When I was 16, I went to my very first music festival. Virgin Mobile Festival, in Baltimore. I naively wondered why all these 20-year-olds with beards were acting so funny and laughing at everything, and eventually I had to drive my brother and his friends home while they slept in the front seat. It was awesome. V Festival is the English equivalent, and while I'm not going to be there, I'll be willing to bet there will be just as many 20-year-olds acting strangely.
22-24th – Reading/Leeds (Wetherby/Leeds, England) – As far as European festivals go, I've heard fewer great things about these ones. The younger crowd (16+) seems to be a big reason, and there are probably better options. But Reading did give me this video, which is one of my favorite live performances ever (especially because of the audience participation), so I'm still calling it a must visit.
22-24th – Creamfields (Cheshire, England) – England is one of the last bastions of the classic rave. The warehouse party with a small and intimate audience dancing to cutting edge musical styles with a culture all their own. It's great. Cool. Creamfields doesn't do that. Creamfields is a massive festival in the spirit of EDC, with top notch DJs and an audience that doesn't know if its PLUR or mainstream. I've never been, so I can't comment on whether it looks more like EDC or Tomorrowland (for better or worse, really), but it's worth a shot. I'd rather go to Reading/Leeds.
22-25th – Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival (Los Angeles, California) – People love to say that Los Angeles doesn't have a culture. That's correct. Los Angeles is every culture. It's one of the few places in the world you can get Ethiopian, Korean, Jewish, Thai, or any other kind of cuisine on the same day, and not get sick of a single one of them. I'm not being biased. Want proof? Come to the Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival. Come see why Los Angeles is the best culinary destination in the United States.
23-24th – FYF (Los Angeles, California) – FYF has always been a no brainer – the cheap tickets, the great lineup, the easy access. There are fewer reasons to skip it than not, so if you happen to be in Los Angeles over this weekend, just go. You'll be spending the ticket price on drinks otherwise, so put the money to something better. Foreigners take note: those people camping nearby? On the street? Homeless, not festival goers. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
24th – World Bog Snorkeling Championship (Llanwyrld Wells, Wales) – World Bog Snorkeling sounds like something a couple of drunk guys came up with while they were stumbling home from the bar. But then again, that's where some of the best ideas come from. WBS is exactly what it sounds like. You strip down, climb into a bog, and paddle a few laps through the mud and snakes. There's a lot of liquid courage and liquid wetsuits going around this place, which really just brings it full circle.
24-25th – Notting Hill Carnival (London, England) – When I went to Thailand, I had a quick travel romance with a London girl. I thought it was gonna be the one (I mean, it was my first travel love, of course I did), and when we went home we stayed in constant contact. Then she went to Notting Hill Carnival not too long after, and had such a good time that she forgot all about me. I mean, I assume that's what happened. Please let that be what happened.
25-September 1st – Burning Man (Black Rock City, Nevada) – Burning Man shouldn't even be on this list. If you weren't planning on going for the past year, then chances are you're not going to make it. I mean, sure, you'll attend. But you'll probably die. It's a gigantic desert full of drugged out hippies who sometimes mistake the giant art car hurtling towards them for their spirit animal. Not to mention the fact that the organizers turn away anybody who doesn't look up to the challenge. But then again, Burning Man has always attracted the crazy ones, so if you can manage a last minute skydive into the festival, then
27th – La Tomatina (Buñol, Spain) – The Spanish love festivals that involve throwing things at each other. I mean, they'll do that anyway, but a legitimized event makes it seem less mean-spirited. And since I'm willing to bet money you've never actually gotten to participate in a large scale food fight (Thanks Bin Laden!), make your dreams come true here. La Tomatina is like a crack in the dam for all the frustrations you've built up by not being able to peg a stranger in the face with a tomato. Trust me, it's in there. Let out the animal.
27-30th – Air Guitar World Championship (Oulu, Finland) – When I was ten years old, I picked up the guitar. I was a rocker. I played that thing so hard that my fingers bled, and everybody I knew stood in awe and asked, "Colin, when will you get yourself a record deal and trash your first hotel room?" I'm just kidding. That thing was too hard and I went back to playing video games till 3 AM and wiping the cheeto dust off on my shirt. I'm assuming everybody entering into this thing went through a similar lack-of-character development. Hopefully they're at least tongue-in-cheek about it.
29-31st – Electric Picnic (Stradbally, United Kingdom) – I've decided to break EDM festivals down into two different categories. There's the amazing, unique, special festivals you should try your hardest to attend (Tomorrowland, Lightning in a Bottle). And then there's the festivals with Electric in their name. From now on, if you see a festival branded Electric X, you can just assume it's gonna be another unoriginal event lousy with pilled out kids and bad planning.
29-31st – Electric Zoo (New York City, New York) – Hey, case in point! Last year, two people died at Electric Zoo, which forced it to shutter it's last day. I wrote a bit about responsible drug use after the fact, but sometimes it's bound to happen when you have events where teeny bopper kandi kids can borrow a sibling's ID and waltz right in. It's always touch and go at these things. Tomorrowland does it great, for example. But if you want to risk it, go for it. And hey, look, it's Electric X. I hate it already.
29-September 1st – Telluride Film Festival (Telluride, Colorado) – There's gonna be a few people who heard about a massive film festival in Colorado and show up to Telluride, straight-faced expecting to meet Ari Gold. Telluride ain't no Sundance, but hey, the best parts of Sundance are the mountains anyway. So if you can go and watch some great films with a much more mellow atmosphere, why not?
30-September 1st – Bumbershoot (Seattle, Washington) – The Pacific Northwest is one of my favorite places on Earth. I lived near Seattle for a while. The entire city has an atmosphere of art and culture that's hard to find anywhere else. Bumbershoot is the culmination of that. It's one of the oldest and largest festivals in America, and with comedy, music, food, and everything in between, it's definitely worth checking out. I mean, it'll rain and pour for sure, but you can deal with that, right?
And that's August. Big month for sure. I feel it prudent to also mention that my Facebook will feature updates on festival ticket sales and the like, so make sure you follow that. Also, bit of an update. In an attempt to introduce some regularity to this blog, Elsewhere Plans will now be published on the first Monday of the month. More updates on this new schedule to follow.

How to Choose the Best Car Buying Companies
There are a lot of things that you need to be considerate of at any time that you are selling your car. You might desire to sell your car for any particular reason. You might need to settle some debts or the need to care of emergency situations that might come up unexpectedly. But you need to be very observant when making a selection of a company that specializes in buying used cars because they are so many but not all highly reputable to accord to you the worthy offers that you are in need of. You need to be certain that you are searching expeditiously to ascertain that the car buying company that you are trading your vehicle with is competent enough and will be able to accord to you the right value after assessing and affirming the value that it deserves. Opting for the services of incompetent car buying agencies is very risky because you will lose a lot of money which will prove to be very expensive at the end of it all. If you are not careful enough then you might fall for a scam and end up receiving so little settlement that is below the value that your car deserves. There are some parameters that you need to be cognizant of whenever you are on the lookout for the services of a car buying agency to help you choose wisely. If you choose correctly then you will be able to make a quick sale of your car since the car buying companies offers quick sale of cars which might be so difficult if you decide to look for a buyer on a personal basis. You will only be required to make a call towards the company that you have enlisted then drive to their premises for the car to be passed through test drive and assessed after which its value is determined by looking at a number of factors which are inclusive of the distance the car has covered, the years that you have stayed with it among many others. Some of those factors that you need to look at with a lot of gravity at any moment in time that you are looking for a car buying company are given below.
One of the key factors that you need to be considerate of at any time that you are looking for a car buying firm is that you should consider the number of years has been established in this industry to be sure that they will be able to serve you with a lot of expertise. The reputation of the car buying company you would love to settle for towards the car selling deals it is providing is also another very significant factor to be observant of.
Another very important aspect to bethink of whenever you are in the act of looking for a car buying company is that you should make sure that you are going for the right company that will be able to accord to you the right value for your car. Hence you should constantly be certain of the price that they are offering and affirm if it matches the residual value of your car.

Trump Softens Tone on China, Iran at G-7 Summit
The president says he thinks China wants to make a deal and indicates he is open to meeting with Iran's president
BIARRITZ, France—President Trump struck a conciliatory tone on the final day of the Group of Seven summit, where he faced pressure from French President Emmanuel Macron to de-escalate the trade war with China and ease tensions with Iran.
At a joint news conference with Mr. Macron, Mr. Trump said he was open to meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. The remarks came hours after the Iranian leader signaled that he too was open to talks, and Mr. Macron said he hoped the two leaders would speak in the coming weeks....

Simulation and Economic Optimization of Vapour Recompression Configuration for Partial CO2 capture
Journal article, Peer reviewed
Published version
MetadataShow full item record
Original versionLinköping Electronic Conference Proceedings. 2017, 298-303. 10.3384/ecp17138298
A standard method for CO2 capture is by absorption in an amine based solvent followed by desorption. Such plants are traditionally designed for removal of 85-90 % CO2 from the exhaust gas as a reasonable trade-off between high removal efficiency and low investment. The major challenge is the high energy demand for CO2 desorption. In many industrial cases, a limited amount of cheap waste heat is available and this makes partial CO2 capture an interesting option. It is not obvious whether a high removal efficiency from a part of the exhaust or a low removal efficiency from the total exhaust is the optimum solution. In this work, simulations of traditional and vapor recompression processes are performed, and it is found that vapour recompression treating the total exhaust is energy optimum. A traditional process with a low absorption column treating the total exhaust gives the lowest cost per ton CO2 captured.

The soggy slog home has begun.
A storm along the East Coast on Wednesday brought with it a mix of rain, sleet and snow, slowing traffic, grounding planes and prompting many people to change their Thanksgiving plans.
New York City saw less than a half-inch of snow. But in the suburbs to the north and west, as much as 10 inches of snow had fallen by Wednesday night.
By midday, more than 1,000 flights were grounded across the East Coast and some 5,000 flights were delayed. With many people heeding calls to get out of town early, security lines started backing up well before the worst weather had descended on the region. On Twitter, it did not take long for frustrated commuters to post enough photos to form a collage of airport misery.
The National Weather Service on Tuesday issued a winter storm watch for an area where more than 20 million people live in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, leading thousands of families to reconsider their travel plans to avoid being stuck on snarled roadways or stranded at congested airports.
Many of the weather agency's advisories expired on Wednesday, as the storm moved north and tapered off. About 10.7 million people from lower New York State up through New England, remained under the Weather Service's watch area late on Wednesday, said Chris Vaccaro, a spokesman for the agency. (A sliver of Montana was also under a watch, he added.)
The main focus for many people traveling for Thanksgiving was where the line dividing rain and snow fell.
In New York City, rain that began early Wednesday had changed to sleet by midmorning, then snow that mostly melted away. Four-tenths of an inch of snow was measured at La Guardia Airport, the highest accumulation for the city and much less than the worst-case situation outlined earlier in the week.
These kinds of storms, which develop off the coast, are often difficult to forecast because a drop in temperatures by even a few degrees more than expected can significantly affect the snow totals.
Consolidated Edison, in an alert to customers, warned that the weight of the snow could cause tree limbs to break and bring down power lines, leading to power failures. The company said it would have extra crews available to repair any damage. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey deployed extra workers for the day.

Rava Ladoo
Rava Ladoo (Suji Ladoo)
Rava Ladoo is an Indian dessert made with semolina or rava /suji as called in India. It is normally with either fresh or dry coconut, ghee and other ingredients. Mostly made only during festive season, is quite famous during diwali. What I have given below a quick receipe, so that you don't have to wait till the festive season to make these amazing ladoos.
2 cups semolina (fine rava)
1 cup fresh grated coconut
1 cup water
1/2 tsp saffron strands (optional)
6-7 cardamom pods, grounded
15-20 cashews
15-20 raisins
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup ghee
- Mix together rava and fresh coconut. Cover and keep this mixture aside for about 2 -3 hours.
- In a deep pan, add ghee. Once it melts, add the rava and coconut mixture. Keep the flame to medium or the rava will get burnt.
- Keep stirring for about 20 minutes or you get a nice fragrance. But make sure the rava does not turn brown. You don't want a brown rava ladoo.
- Remove from flame and transfer to a plate.
- Let it cool.
- In another pan add the water and sugar. Cook till it reaches a one string consistency.
- You can test by taking a drop of the syrup and try pulling it apart. The syrup will strech to a single string.
- Once you attain this consistency, switch off the gas.
- Now add the cashews, raisins, saffron threads and the semolina mixture.
- Cover and mixture aside for around half an hour.
- When the mixture is warm enough too handle, start making the ladoos.
- Take some mixture and start rolling between your palms to make round ladoos.
- You can store this in an air tight container for about 10 days.
Tip: If the mixture gets too dry add few spoon of milk into the final mixture.
It is best to use the exact quantity of ghee to avoid the dryness.
If you use milk you cannot store the ladoos for longer period.
Enjoy!! Do send your comments!!

Google somewhat recently released an entire round of new Nexus devices; the Nexus 6, Nexus 9, and Nexus Player. There was something different though about the first two devices, something that was not the same as all other Nexus devices before them. That difference was the pricing of the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9. Both of these devices were priced like normal tablets and smartphones as opposed to being priced somewhat cheaply like all other Nexus devices before them. It seems that HTC, who made the Nexus 9 tablet, has realized that the Nexus 9 is just a little too expensive for a good amount of people who like what the Nexus 9 has to offer and would otherwise purchase one. So, they may be getting ready to release a cheaper, lower-end variant of the Nexus 9 called the H7.
This isn't official news by any means, in fact, it comes from a pretty well-known leaker in the Android community, @upleaks. This morning on his Twitter account he tweeted the following, 'HTC H7: seems a low-end tablet, release in Q2 2015.' This coincides with previous reports that surfaced around the time of the Nexus 9s release, which stated that HTC was working on a variant of the Nexus 9 that would be similar to it except HTC branded. What doesn't coincide with the previous reports is that the rumored device was supposedly going to have specs very similar to the Nexus 9 whereas this newly rumored device is supposedly a low-end device. This could mean one of two things, either HTC has two unannounced tablets in the works or one of these two reports is wrong and there is only one tablet in the works.
The only other bit of information included in the tweet by @upleaks besides mentioning that the device is low-end, is that the device will be released in Q2 of this year. If this is indeed true then we should be hearing something official pertaining to this H7 device somewhat soon. On the other hand, HTC could simply wait until the very end of Q2 before announcing anything about the H7. Hopefully, the first of those first two possibilities comes to fruition but all we can do at the moment is play the waiting game.

Anybody knows this band here?

Ali Baba....the cover "As de espadas" is "Motorhead's "Ace of spades" of course and it's also well done. The A side is crap.
Do you think it is enough to call them "heavy metal" though they only played a cover song that thousand of bands at the time may have covered as well?
Do you have more information about this band ??

Today I am thankful for the pure joy that I see on my daughter's face as she runs across the beach, legs racing, face illuminated by the sun as it sinks behind the tips of the hemlocks. I am thankful that at the age of almost-six, she finds joy in rolling in the sand, tiny grains sticking to her damp body. I know the sensation and it makes me cringe, yet she does this over and over, a huge smile on her face. I am thankful for a quiet place in the woods where she is free to frolic through the stream, water droplets soaking her dress, her looking at me questioningly to see if I am upset, and when I tell her it is okay, just take it off, her face lights up with joy. Although she is only almost-six, she has worries, stressors, adult things she shouldn't be thinking about, but does. And so these moments when she is simply a kid, simply enjoying moving her body because it just plain feels good, smiling because she is simply happy, are what make me happy, are what bring joy to my heart. I want her to have more of those, because the almost-six sounds pretty strange to me. Where did all the days with my little babe go? She is still my little babe, curled up in bed at night, but she is also a fast talking, smack talking, Uno player with her Dad. She can lay in bed and listen to me read for over an hour, then debate the end of the story with me. I am so thankful I was able to give birth to this little girl, almost-six years ago. I said my mantra and sent my prayers that were not prayers out to the universe, to someone, something, somewhere, to let me have a healthy happy little girl. And I got her, tantrums, attitude, frilly dresses, poetry maker, story creator, cat lover, chai drinker, perfect little babe.
I am so thankful. Happy Thursday. Look for the joy.

During the Wrestlemania press conference, Triple H announced that Ronda Rousey will compete at Wrestlemania from the MetLife Stadium in New York and New Jersey. He didn't reveal an opponent. He named her various accomplishments before introducing her. Rousey showed up and had a stare down before Triple H left. He said at the time that he hopes that Rousey "doesn't hurt myself and my wife too badly." Rousey will team with Kurt Angle against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at Wrestlemania 34.

The entire exchange begins at the 24-minute mark. Triple H's portion starts before that at the 17-minute mark.

Backyard Animals and Nature Coloring Books Free Coloring Pages
Bear Cub In The Back Yard
Nature Coloring Books for Kids and Adults
There are many animals that live in or visit backyards. Backyard Nature Coloring Books have coloring pages that are inspired by nature. My backyard and garden are a place for amazing animal friends, and trees for some to live in, with gardens and flowers, and the forest all around.
It is neat that we can create our own decorative pictures from nature's awesome scenes. The back yard coloring books have beautiful mammals, baby birds in the nest, deer, chipmunks, squirrels, bunnies and many favorite trees and flowers in full bloom in gardens. There are detailed line drawings in these coloring pages of animals and nature!
I have featured the best nature coloring books for children, that are some of the top rated activity books for adults and seniors. Color therapy is a relaxing way to pass some time with my elderly mother doing something creative.
It is always so much fun to color with children who are learning about the animals and nature that are around us. Kids are fun to color with because they do not need to color within the lines with their crayons or colored pencils. Children can be so creative with color while they work off some stress and begin to relax while doing a fun activity.
Enjoy the photos of some of the wild animals that visit the back year.

I Loved Discovering Nature In the Backyard As A Child
When I was growing up, a walk in the woods was just a step away from our backyard, so there was plenty of wildlife to discover and enjoy and we never knew what would be coming through our yard next. Maybe that is why I love the Backyard Nature Coloring Book so much. It reminds me of creatures I truly love.
Since I returned home to care for my Mom, I have been rediscovering what a joy it is to be able to be in the yard with the visiting critters of the forest.

I Love Coloring Deer Pages
The Whitetail Deer has a thick tail that is white on the underside, they use it as a flag to warn other deer when they sense danger. We had deer coming into the backyard all the time.
Did you know that the Whitetail is the largest deer in North America? Whitetails like to live in open bushy areas, in forests, and swamps. They like to browse about in nature as they eat twigs, herbs, grass, shrubs, acorns, and fungi. These beautiful animals will also eat plants in orchards, vegetable gardens, farm fields, and even the flowers in yards near peoples' yards.
Deer are creatures of habit and will return once they find a food source. They can actually do some damage to plants and trees on properties when finding food is tough pickings during snow covered months or like the easy picking of flower gardens and vegetable gardens as their buffet. Many people supply hay for deer to eat in winter.

My Hero is Smokey Bear
I grew up in the country and learned a lot of tips about fire safety from watching Smokey Bear on television. I took a photo of a sign and made it into a Smokey Bear free coloring page.
To this day, I still hope that one day, Smokey Bear will come walking out of the woods and give me a bear hug for being careful to be watchful when burning anything and for putting fires out. Its good to have water handy for fire safety.
Black Bear
Animal Games
I grew up in northern Minnesota and saw several bears in our back yard. One time my Mom was frying bacon for breakfast, and a bear came right up to the back door sniffing. My Dad was able to scare the bear away by yelling at it to get away.
It is smart to keep food and garbage safely put away, so that bears do not think they can get a free meal from you when they are hungry.

On A Side Note
Color crayons, colored pencils and even paints are great tools to have when its a rainy day. We do not need a coloring book but all we do need is a plain sheet of paper to draw on and add some colors as we create something original and unique. That is what I did much of the time when I was a child because I liked drawing free hand.
When I got older I started using different paint mediums to color with, craypas, pastels and even charcoal. It is fun to experiment and learn to control colors, shading and shapes.

Are you a coloring artist?
Like Paula, I like to color too, and find it very relaxing. I also do papercutting, but neither as often as I'd like as time is short. The pictures here look great and would be fun for children too, to brighten a rainy dreary day.
Been here before. Nice to revisit your coloring book article.
Coming up to the holiday season ahead...people may wish to think of these coloring pages for gift giving. A child could actually color one and it would also make a beautiful wrapping for a gift as well...or decorating the top of a larger package. I love nature scenes such as this. Hope you are doing well!
Even though there are only a few days left before school starts again, I thought I would revisit this great article and share it in hopes the children who "have nothing to do," will find this article entertaining and helpful in filling some of their time.
I must confess that coloring is very therapeutic and I was very tempted to print out and try the butterfly picture posted in this article. One can get much more creative as an adult and still not stay in the lines!
Hope all is well with you . . .
I enjoy coloring books. I, like so many others, have used children's coloring books for years. How nice that adult coloring books are so popular. Thanks for this hub!
Back again to say that with school soon to be out for the summer, these coloring books would be a great way to keep the younger children occupied and happy. You have some wonderful photos and drawings.
One of my favorite coloring books as an adult had wild animals with nature.
Hi Susie,
Hope you had a great holiday season with your family and friends. Perhaps some of them got coloring books and shiny new crayons as gifts? Sharing this once again as it is a fun activity and can also be so relaxing. You have provided some nice templates. Our winter is just about over. We have a week ahead predicted to be in the 70's for daily highs and 50's at night. I know you are probably looking forward to Spring.
Hi Susie,
This is the perfect time of year to be sharing this hub of yours as many people are thinking of providing gifts to people at this time of year. Kids or adults who love to color would appreciate receiving these pages with perhaps some shiny new crayons or colored pencils. Merry Christmas to you! Enjoyed the photos you also provided in addition to those which could be colored.
LOL...Au fait....you "stay in the lines?" You're so funny. You crack me up!! LOL!
colorfulone.....This is one Grandma who was thrilled to see these adult coloring books make the scene! Yes, I admit it. I love to color!
Now I don't have to cover for this by "coloring with my grandchildren," so I don't look like I'm living my 2nd childhood!
It's pretty bad when a 6 year old says, "GramDawg, I'm TIRED of coloring....can we do something else now??!!" LOL
I bought TWO adult coloring books. It's fun and relaxing. A nice break from my Cryptograms I'm addicted to!...UP+++Pinned.
Adult colouring pages are all the rage right now - and what more relaxing way to enjoy it than to colour in pictures of animals and nature?
Susie, this is a great hub for all families with little kids or grandkids. Very useful for them to experience nature by coloring in the lines. Voted up!
Cool! Colouring is good but pencil shading is better for me!
This is great for adults. I've been seeing a proliferation of adult colouring books for awhile now, it is supposed to help foster creativity and relaxation. I wonder what other adult toys we can discover, based upon childhood?
I do so enjoy coloring. And as I came to this again I had an idea. Have some of the colored pages turned into puzzle and then I could enjoy them all over again by putting them together. There are a number of places on line where we can order puzzles using our own images.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Angels are on the way to you this evening ps
You include some beautiful photos here. Coloring books are a fun way for children to learn about things. I still love to color every now and then. I do stay inside the lines, but I like to get creative and mix the colors and shade them, etc.
my kids aren' good at coloring. They always scribble with color pencils instead of shading the picture. Thanks for your suggestion hub
What a lovely hub! I think many of us first learn about nature in our backyards
I love your beautiful coloring books. I have a collection my self, yes and I color people with crayons also.
Voted -up, UABI and shared.
What beautiful pictures of animals in the backyard! The coloring pages are also so inviting, since I love coloring.
Nature is beautiful and its creatures are so wonderful. None can compare the artistic powers of The God--how he has created colorful flowers, green fields, rivers, mountains, birds, animals and so on.
Lovely hub, enjoyed going through, voted up!
Your photos are beautiful and the coloring pages you showed would definitely keep kids of all ages happy trying to create something beautiful. I think that most people appreciate nature.
Thanks for commenting on my forum question. It turned out to be malware which we had removed from our computer.
Up votes and sharing this!
Love seeing the backyard animals and the coloring books too.
I admire the beautiful images of those cute animals. My daughter would love to have a coloring book like this.
I miss wildlife when I am away from Canada. Your pictures warmed my heart.
You really have had animals in your backyard. Wow! You should do your own coloring book about the bear that came to breakfast!
How precious...the kitty and the little fox wanted to go inside and warm their toesies.
I would love these coloring books...I am a nature loving junkie who loves to color. Thanks for sharing this.

I just wasn't up to it today. Tired legs, probably dehydrated, there was no power and boy did I yearn for the walking breaks! Managed 2 of the 17 min runs, but couldn't face the last one and just fizzled out with 15 mins to go. But hey, I came in at under 7 min/km and I was running for 36 mins, the weather was fantastic, cool and sunny, and I got my exercise before the day started. Plus I get to do this podcast again - what joy!
I'm finding these longer runs quite challenging, I must admit. It will take a while until I'm comfortable with running for over 50 mins, but then that's why I'm doing this.
Happy running everybody!

Atomflot and NOVATEK intend to build LNG icebreakers
Both companies intend to build LNG icebreakers.
Origin source
"Atomflot" by September should receive a project of an icebreaker on liquefied gas (LNG) with a capacity of 40 MW, after which the operator can decide to place an order for two or at once for four such vessels. The cost of the LNG icebreaker, according to Kommersant, is about $ 250 million, they can be allocated by Rosatom with loans. However, a similar project to create a fleet of gas-powered icebreakers NOVATEK, a key producer of LNG and the main shipper of the Northern Sea Route (NSR), could jeopardize the plans of nuclear power engineers.
Under the jurisdiction of Rosatom, FSUE Atomflot commissioned a single supplier to develop a tender project for a linear icebreaker on LNG with a capacity of 40 megawatts, it follows from the materials of state procurement. The price of the contract is 28.3 million rubles, or € 354 thousand, the term is 31 August. According to Kommersant sources, the projector is Finnish Aker Arctic Technology. As noted in the documents, the project will be used to obtain from commercial shipyards commercial proposals for the construction of an icebreaker. Atomflot head Vyacheslav Ruksha told Kommersant that issues related to the project, including the structure of financing, are being worked out, the decision can be made in two to three months.
The fact that Atomflot is considering the possibility of building four icebreakers for LNG for NOVATEK, became known in 2017 (see "Kommersant" on September 22). Then the construction of icebreakers was worked out (the variant of atomic ones was also considered). In March, deputy head of FSUE Mustafa Kashka mentioned the possibility of constructing four LNG icebreakers for the western part of the Northern Sea Route and the Ob Bay.
According to sources from Kommersant, icebreakers are planned to be built according to the "two plus two" scheme. The tender for the first two is planned for the first quarter of 2019, the laying of the head icebreaker for the spring of 2020. The construction of the icebreaker, according to one of the interlocutors "Kommersant", depending on the shipyard will be three to four years. Another source of Kommersant believes that, as long as there is no project, the construction of the icebreaker will take at least four and a half years, the next one will be delivered in 8-12 months. The icebreaker can cost about $ 250 million, one of the interlocutors of Kommersant believes.
As Kommersant wrote, the main bidder for the order is the Vyborg Shipyard (VSZ) in cooperation with Arctech Helsinki Shipyard in Helsinki (the shipyards are part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, USC). Now, according to Kommersant, this option remains the main one. The USC Kommersant reported that they "are interested and are considering the possibility of building such an icebreaker", the project may involve the FAZ, "Admiralty Shipyards" and Baltzavod, it all depends on the loading of the stocks. In the USC noted that the construction will be the maximum cooperation with other shipyards of the corporation. The Ministry of Industry and Trade reported that they are working with Atomflot to build icebreakers for FSUE, including LNG, the place of construction and sources of financing are still being determined.
According to Kommersant sources in the industry, it is still assumed that icebreakers will be built on Rosatom money and borrowed funds. Return loans can be from a service contract with NOVATEK, one of the interlocutors of Kommersant notes, but the gas company has an idea to build its icebreaking fleet in order not to pay Atomflot. Leonid Mikhelson, the head and co-owner of NOVATEK, spoke at the SPIEF-2018 about plans for the construction of ice-breakers, and in May the company's board of directors approved the creation of the Marine Arctic Transportation Company (MAT), which will own and manage the fleet for LNG export via the NSR. In NOVATEK, Kommersant was informed that they are studying the issue of the independent construction and operation of icebreakers on LNG, the project is in line with the development strategy in terms of increasing the competencies for transporting products in the Arctic region.
Director of the consulting center "Gekon" Mikhail Grigoriev notes that the situation is twofold. He explains that Atomflot is beyond the competence of the operator of the nuclear icebreaking fleet, carrying out the project "Portoflot" to ensure the shipment from the port of Sabetta "Yamal LNG" (four icebreaking tugs are built, the construction of a diesel icebreaker is being completed) and planning the construction and operation of icebreakers on LNG . But the plans of NOVATEK regarding MAT LLC are not clear - will it independently build icebreakers and operate with them, the expert adds. Given the lack of crew, it is important that there is no personnel cannibalism between NOVATEK and Atomflot, Mr. Grigoriev notes. He also says that the autonomy of ships on LNG is limited, and icebreakers will serve the southwest of the Kara Sea with obvious bunkering in Sabetta, which makes FSUE dependent on NOVATEK.

How Unhealthy Is Your Favorite Restaurant Meal?
Dining out doesn't have to mean blowing your diet – but you do have to be careful, especially if you frequently visit one of the many well-known restaurant chains found on this year's Xtreme Dining Awards (a list of the most unhealthy meals put out annually by the Center for Science in the Public Interest). You don't have to avoid these popular restaurants to stay on a healthy track, however, and you can still enjoy the type of food you're craving. Read on for tips from our experts on how to pick a healthier – but still indulgent – meal at your favorite dining chains.
Pick a Lower-Cal Brunch
Sure, brunch is a great time to enjoy a treat, but that doesn't have to mean a week's worth of desserts crammed into one meal. The Cheesecake Factory's Bruléed French Toast has a whopping 2,780 calories and 97 grams of fat, thanks in part to its custard filling and the maple-butter syrup it's served with. For a lighter – but just as decadent – pick, go for the Giant Belgian Waffle with Strawberries, Pecans, and Cream. "This swap still provides you with the same sweet satisfaction, but saves you 2,040 calories and has 86 fewer grams of artery-clogging saturated fat," says Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDE, and author of Belly Fat Diet For Dummies. "The added strawberries will satisfy your sweet tooth and provide antioxidants and fiber, while the pecans are a source of healthy fats to keep you feeling full."
Go Carb Crazy – the Smart Way
If you visit The Cheesecake Factory to satisfy a pasta craving, steer clear of the Farfalle With Chicken and Roasted Garlic, which contains a staggering 2,410 calories and 63 grams of saturated fat. But you can still enjoy a carb-fest. "If you're really in the mood for a pasta dish, the Shrimp with Angel Hair Pasta – while still providing more calories than recommended at a meal with 850 calories for the plate – is much more manageable on the waistline than the alternative," says Palinski-Wade. "The most impressive part of this dish, however, is that it contains only 2 grams of unhealthy saturated fats."
Lighten Up the BBQ
Got a hankering for some all-American BBQ food? At the well-known chain Famous Dave's, be sure to avoid the Big Slab of St. Louis Style Spare Ribs, which comes with a corn bread muffin and two sides (if you tack on fries and baked beans, you're looking at a hefty 2,770 calories, 54 grams of saturated fat, and 4,320 milligrams of sodium). But you don't have to stay at home, either. "If you're in the mood for ribs, opt instead for the full slab of Memphis Style Baby Back Ribs, an easy switch that will save you 800 calories and 24 grams of saturated fat," says Palinski-Wade. When it comes to sides, choose the corn on the cob over the corn muffin, and think veggies over starches in general. (You'll still feel plenty full, we promise.)
Don't Pile It All on Your Pizza
At BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse chain, there's nothing "small" about the menu's 9-inch Signature Deep Dish Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza, which packs in 2,160 calories, 30 grams of saturated fat, and three days' worth (4,680 mg) of sodium. "There are a few things that should tip you off," says nutrition expert Bonnie Taub-Dix, author of Read It Before You Eat It and Everyday Health's Nutrition Intuition Blogger. "Words like 'deep dish,' and even beloved 'bacon' means that there's probably a better choice you could make." Still want a pizza party? "If deep dish pizza is what you must have, this menu offers vegetarian and Mediterranean types that include veggies, and you could request that they go light on cheese." Or opt for the Vegetarian Mini Pizza from the chain's "enlightened" menu (entrées with no more than 795 calories).
Know That There Are Plenty of Fish in the Sea
"I know where the word "big" comes from in "The Big Hook Up" Platter," says Taub-Dix of this oversized dish served at Joe's Crab Shack, a nationwide chain. "Weighing in at 2,700 calories (which is enough calories to divide amongst a family of four), 114 grams of fat (more fat than in 22 pats of butter), and almost 6,000 mg of sodium (if you're over 51, that's the amount recommended for around 4 days) – I'd say you're better off trying to get off the hook on ordering this dish!" There are plenty of healthier – and still delicious – seafood options, she adds. "Seafood itself is low in calories and loaded with healthy omega-3 fats. Go for platters that have grilled versions of fish and seafood, pair with a salad, and share an appetizer."
Beware of Monster Burgers
At Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, the most "monstrous" meal is probably the 3,540-calorie combo of an A1 Peppercorn Monster Burger, side of Bottomless Fries, and Salted Caramel Milkshake. Instead, says Everyday Health's Nutrition Sleuth blogger Johannah Sakimura, go for the Simply Grilled Chicken Burger. "Ask for your sandwich without margarine and deep-fried onion rings, and add fresh chopped onion, a slice of pepperjack cheese, and the A1 peppercorn sauce to give your chicken sandwich a flavor similar to the A1 Peppercorn Monster Burger, without the monster calorie stats (it will cost you just 560 calories). "If the shake is a must, swapping the ridiculously rich salted caramel shake for a classic vanilla shake will save you 800 calories," says Sakimura. She also suggests asking for an extra cup and sharing it with a friend for dessert.
Have a Sensible Fiesta
Chevy's Fresh Mex menu has something called the Chevy's Super Cinco Combo, a smorgasbord of enchiladas, tacos, and tamales adding up to 1,920 calories, 36 grams of saturated fat, and 3,950 mg of sodium. "It's like eating five entrees!" says Sakimura, who recommends ordering one or two chicken tacos (250 calories each) or chicken enchiladas (210 calories each) a la carte with black beans and a salad on the side. "You can create a super satisfying Mexican meal for 600 to 800 calories, and leave feeling happily full instead of unpleasantly stuffed," she adds.
Do Steak Night Right
Craving steak? At Maggiano's Little Italy, the Prime New York Steak Contadina Style (served with two Italian sausages and a rich, buttery sauce) will set you back 2,420 calories, 66 grams of fat, and more than 5,000 mg of sodium. "Normally, I would gear people towards the lighter chicken and seafood entrees," says Sakimura. "But if your heart is set on red meat, order a lunch-sized portion of the peppercorn-crusted sirloin steak (it has 680 calories, about 400 fewer than the generous dinner portion) and substitute a tasty vegetable side for the garlic mashed potatoes (Maggiano's offers broccolini, green beans, grilled asparagus, and sautéed spinach)." You'll slash about 400 calories, give or take.

What is a Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA)?
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 created the Education IRA, now known as the Coverdell ESA. Its sole purpose is to help you pay for your child's education expenses, such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, and in some cases, room and board, and computers. These options were improved by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001.
How does a Coverdell ESA work?
Contributions to a Coverdell ESA are never tax-deductible. However, a Coverdell ESA offers you potential for tax-free withdrawals-including earnings. You can make nondeductible contributions of $2,000 every year until the designated beneficiary reaches age 18. No taxes are due on withdrawals used for qualified higher-eduction expenses.
Give your child the gift of education. Seeing a child work toward a college degree is a parent's dream. However, with the rapidly escalating cost of higher education, this dream can become a financial nightmare. A Coverdell ESA can help parents sleep at night. The main benefits of a Coverdell ESA include:
- Earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis, and distributions are tax–free if the money is used for qualified education expenses.
- Unlike state 529 plans, Coverdell ESAs can be used to pay for qualified elementary and secondary education expenses.

i just bought a garmin 42lm gps and im havin trouble customizing my own route to where i wanna go. i need help
05-04-2015 08:58 AM - edited 05-04-2015 08:59 AM
Hello StripOWind-
If you're encountering some issues with this, I would recommend contacting Garmin support here. Otherwise, a member of our community may be able to assist you if you'd like to wait for one to post.
|Bill|Senior Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate
Give Kudos if you like this post or Accept as Solution if it answers your query!
If you want to post the issue that you are having with a little more detail, I might be able to assist you in your route setting. Below are the basic route settings for Garmin 42lm (might miss a few details here and there, sorry if i do).
Where to? and View Map are your 2 options on the screen. If you click on view map you can find out where you currently are in the world. If you are seeing an unknown street, address, building, or different state that you are not in, then please head outside to get a clear view of the sky, so that the satellites can aqcuire signal on your location.
once you have the correct location displayed on where you are at, you can now navigate. Click the back arrow at the bottom right or left of the screen from view map. Now click on the Where To. from there you can type in the exact address by clicking "address." this will then pull up a new screen with an option of the STATE. If the address is in the same state, and it already has your location you will be able to then click on the state that is provided. If you are wanting to navigate to a different state then you can click the bottom option that reads state, and enter the one you are looking for.
Once you click on the state, a new screen will pop up asking for the city, start typing in the city within the state, and by the process of elimination with the cities that are in that state, there will be keys that will not be able to be pressed, and other keys that will help you click them, by being the only ones you can press. It is garmins cool way to get you to your address much quicker, by helping eliminate your possible miss entries when clicking on the keyboard.
once the city is selected you will then be able to click next, and pop up a new screen. it will then ask for either the street name or house number. enter whatever the next few screens prompt to get you to the button that says "GO." Once you see that go you are now able to click that button, the garmin will then load the proper guidance for you and you are NAVIGATING! Hope this helps you out, and please use garmins website to address more in depth FAQ's that can be found here:
In case I messed up or missed a step. Thanks for taking the time to post your concerns, and please don't hesitate to let me know if i could assist you further!
so trip planner is a new application that is built in to allow its users to navigate from point A- point C, and manage to do it so that it is more of a loop saving you time and gas. Trip planner is a feature on the 65lm which is the largest of our screens, with a screen of 6"!!! your 4.3 screen on your 42lm is a good size screen, but that 6 does come in handy if you have troubles seeing the buttons, or if you just want a bigger screen. you can find trip planner under "apps" on your home screen at the bottom middle in between "Where to" and "view map." I figured Trip planner was what you were looking for, but wasn't sure until you let me know. There are other models that offer trip planner, but the 65lm is our first model that will be without bells and whistles, and below $165. If you keep your eye on the ad, many times like last week, the 65lm will drop to the same price as the 52lm, so why not get the bigger size and trip planner for the same price!
Hope this helps, and best of luck!
I purchased a Nuvi for my wife about 8 or 9 years ago. They had a version of the trip planner available at the time.
However, you can add STOPS as they are called
Set it up with your final destination.
Then Select a new location and choose GO then Add as a Via Point.
Do you mean the trip planner or picking 1 route out of multiple routes to take?
