The saga continues with Slackware 14.2
Slackware is the oldest surviving Linux distribution and has been maintained since its birth by Patrick Volkerding. Slackware has a well deserved reputation for being stable, consistent and conservative. Slackware is released when it is ready, rather than on a set schedule, and fans of the distribution praise its no-frills and no-fuss design. Slackware adheres to a "keep it simple" philosophy similar to Arch Linux, in that the operating system does not do a lot of hand holding or automatic configuration. The user is expected to know what they are doing and the operating system generally stays out of the way. The latest release of Slackware, version 14.2, mostly offers software updates and accompanying hardware support. A few new features offer improved plug-n-play support for removable devices and this release of Slackware ships with the PulseAudio software. PulseAudio has been commonly found in the audio stack of most Linux distributions for several years, but that is a signature of Slackware: adding new features when they are needed, not when they become available. In this case PulseAudio was required as a dependency for another package. Slackware 14.2 is available in 32-bit and 64-bit builds for the x86 architecture. There is also an ARM build. While the main edition of Slackware is available as an installation disc only, there is a live edition of Slackware where we can explore a Slackware-powered desktop environment without installing the distribution. The live edition can be found on the Alien Base website. Both the live edition and the main installation media are approximately 2.6GB in size. For the purposes of this review I will be focusing on the main, installation-only edition. Booting from the install media brings us to a text screen where we are invited to type in any required kernel parameters. We can press the Enter key to take the default settings or wait two minutes for the media to continue booting. A text prompt then offers to let us load an alternative keyboard layout or use the default "US" layout. We are then brought to a text console where a brief blurb offers us tips for setting up disk partitions and swap space. The helpful text says we can create partitions and then run the system installer by typing "setup".

Phoenix trades Bryzgalov (or his rights) to Philly
Ilya Bryzgalov is still one of the hottest names on the free agent market, but Philadelphia now has first shot at the ex-Ducks goaltender.
Phoenix traded the negotiating rights to the Flyers Tuesday.
The Arizona Republic has the story. The Flyers did the same thing last year when they got Dan Hamhuis from Nashville, but then couldn't come to terms, and the defenseman signed with Vancouver.
So if the Ducks are interested, they could still take a shot.

- Crown prince of heritage headgear
Vadodara: Avantilal Chavla, 72, has perhaps India's largest collection of turbans. He has more than 200 turbans of various sizes and origin, some of which were made by him. Chavla, a retired senior reader of the MS University's department of dramatics, is preparing for a week long exhibition-cum-workshop on turbans being organized in New Delhi next month by the Sangeet Natak Akademi. He needs a whole truck to carry his collection. Chavla said each turban has a history. "The way a turban is tied changes every 12 km in this vast country," he said. Chavla, who is a native of Ratlam, is now a 'pucca' Gujarati. In 1989, he became the first person in the country to earn a PhD on turbans. The Sangeet Natak Akademi recently gave Chavla a grant of Rs 1 lakh under a scheme to conserve India's heritage. He has been making and collecting 'pagris' for the past 27 years. Former President Dr A P J Abdul Kalam and PM Narendra Modi are among the notables who have worn Chavla's creations. The Western Zone Culture Centre in Udaipur houses the world's biggest `pagri' -a 151-inch turban that has a circumference of 11 ft, weighs 30 kg and is seven inches thick.Chavla created this marvel and it figures in the Limca Book of Records as the world's largest turban. In Chavla's collection are also the turbans that were worn by the Gaekwad rulers of the erstwhile Baroda state; Maharaja Khengraj Sawai Bahadur of Kutch; and 'Thakore sahebs' of the princely states of Dhrangadhra, Limbdi, Jamnagar, Morbi, Wadhvan among others. Incidentally , the former Maharaja of Baroda, Ranjitsinh Gaekwad, had a similar passion for turbans. He used to call Chavla 'guru'. In Chavla's collection are some "original" headgear, such as the 200-yearold turban of the Muslim Dawoodi Bohra community. "Turbans indicated caste, occupation, religion and social status," he said. "For instance, Rajputs and Brahmins of Saurashtra used to wear only white and red turbans, while members of royal families could wear turbans of any colour." Chavla began making turbans and collecting them after Ashokraje Gaekwad, the grandson of Baroda's erstwhile ruler, Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad, asked him to turn his hobby into a mission.

Last Updated: Monday, October 29, 2012 - 16:26

On his comeback this season, Raikkonen showed he still belongs on the F1 grid. After 17 races in the 2012 season, he is third in the championship with 173 points due to his consistent performances, despite not winning a race.

Tynisha Keli - I Wish You Loved Me
Posted 8 years ago
Tags: Tynisha Keli , Club
Even If It Takes Forever
Growing up in poverty as a pre-teen, Tynisha Keli is determined to make it big so that her quality of life can improve once and for all. On her first single, I Wish You Loved Me, Keli enlists plenty of proven hit makers to help her accomplish that goal. Assisted by the songwriting of Milwaukee's Rico Love (Usher, Marques Houston, B5) and production of Atlanta's CornaBoyz (Ciara, Omarion, Mase), Keli sings about a boy who's already her friend and the burning desire to be more than just friends. Luckily for Tynisha, the friends that matter most are those who helped her craft I Wish You Love Me; a song destined for chart success.

Flush valve
Finalist in Plumbing and Water Management in Consulting-Specifying Engineer's 2011 Product of the Year competition
Moen's M-Power dual-flush closet valve provides sanitary protection for commercial restrooms. This sensor-operated automatic valve limits false sensing and overflushing, and stops the spread of germs. The solid brass body and angle stop valve are vandal-resistant, and the piston technology prevents water hammer and requires little maintenance. The valve has silicone seals to prevent leaks and an internal filter screen that eliminates clogs and run-ons. It operates at 10 to 120 psi and has a mechanical override button in the event of power loss, and there is no need to reset it after water-pressure loss, which saves on labor.

Somewhat Amusing
Its pretty much an inside joke for people who play Runescape. I wouldn't mind seeing another attempt by you.
=D lmao
stfu haters this flash was great XD maybe you've had to play Runescape for a while to get it.
Lol, so true, so true. I loved how you made it from the 'gamer' view. Good job and keep it up.
A very bad Flash. The only recognition I could give u would be the sound. I enjoyed the music briefly until it was plagued with absolute c**p. The loading sequence and gameplay aspects were slightly applicable but more or less pointless. Just bad.
just like your mother in bed
I like Runescape, but damn that video was great!

Jack Del Rio's Future
Most people inside the organization believe that Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio's job is certainly safe, barring a major collapse at the end of the year that could leave the Jaguars with a 4-12 or 5-11 record. We've learned that there was a "wink-wink" agreement between Del Rio and general manager Gene Smith that the Jaguars head coach would not be held responsible for the rebuilding of the roster.
Unfortunately for Del Rio, his team's good performances earlier in the season against Houston and Tennessee may hurt his case. In those two games, the Jaguars looked like a solid football team offensively, and they showed that they can compete. Now with blowout losses to Seattle and Tennessee, the public perception is that Del Rio doesn't have his team ready to play on a week to week basis.
The worst ticket sales situation in the league, combined with an inevitable quarterback change may cost Del Rio his employment, even with approximately $10 million left on his deal following this season.
Free Agent Moves
It has been discussed ad nauseam that the Jaguars made mistakes with their free agent signings prior to the 2008 season. Jerry Porter, Cleo Lemon and Drayton Florence certainly provided very little bang for the buck, but the one deal they made during that offseason is causing the team much more harm.
David Garrard was mediocre for his entire career, and after a great 2007 season the franchise rewarded him with a six-year, $60 million deal. Garrard has officially turned back into the turnover prone, inaccurate quarterback that made him a career backup and it's likely that this will be his last year in Jacksonville, according to NFL expert Adam Caplan—
"David Garrard continues to struggle with his accuracy and decision making. The Jaguars can easily get out of his contract next season, so 2009 could be his last as their starting quarterback."
While the Jaguars put all their eggs in the Garrard basket, they failed to address the quarterback position in the draft and are now left with virtually no choice but to take a signal caller early in next April's draft. The Garrard extension has set the Jaguars back at least three years.
If Garrard continues to struggle, don't be surprised if the team moves to Luke McCown to at least see if he can be the transition quarterback while they groom a draft pick.
No Safety in Numbers
A few years ago when the Jaguars had a starting safety tandem of Deon Grant and Donovin Darius, with Gerald Sensabaugh as a fill in, little believed that would be the team's finest hour at the position. Darius' various leg injuries forced him into early retirement, and the team let both Grant and Sensabaugh go in free agency, believing that they could find suitable replacements in the draft and on the roster.
Amongst the Jaguars group of terrible first-round picks, Reggie Nelson may be the very worst. Nelson had a great rookie season and since hasn't looked like a pro football player. The former Florida Gator has terrible instincts, lacks toughness, and the fundamental ability to tackle.
The Jaguars haven't found any suitable replacements at the strong safety spot as Gerald Alexander (brought in via trade with Detroit for Dennis Northcutt), Sean Considine and Brian Russell (free agent acquisitions) have been mediocre.

THE incursion of the Japanese whalers' security ship deep into Australian waters has drawn renewed calls for federal government intervention in the conflict.
The controversial Shonan Maru 2 was last night steaming off the Western Australian coast, shadowing the Sea Shepherd ships Steve Irwin and the increasingly damaged scout vessel Brigitte Bardot.

More trouble for anti-whaling boat
Ten crew have been evacuated from Sea Shepherd's storm-damaged vessel Brigitte Bardot after getting into trouble in heavy weather.
The opposition spokesman for the environment, Greg Hunt, said last night both parties to the conflict were pushing the boundaries of international law.
''These actions further highlight the responsibility Australia has to dispatch a vessel to the region to have a so-called cop-on the beat,'' he said.
A professor of international law at ANU, Don Rothwell, said the government may see value in deploying the patrol ship Ocean Protector.
Professor Rothwell said it would assist not only to watch over the whalers and Sea Shepherd, but also to demonstrate to Japan the federal government's commitment to the safety of life at sea and the suppression of maritime terrorism.
Sea Shepherd, which is attempting to shake off the Shonan Maru 2's pursuit, recalled that last year the Chilean Navy prepared to interdict the whaling factory ship Nisshin Maru when it approached the Chilean Exclusive Economic Zone.
''Japan is really rubbing Australia's nose in it, letting them know that they can do whatever they like even right in Australia's backyard,'' the Sea Shepherd group's leader, Paul Watson, said.
The whaling fleet typically avoids the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone, which extends 200 nautical miles offshore. But the Environment Department said that in steaming through the zone, Shonan Maru 2 was acting within its rights to free navigation under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The Sea Shepherd activists hope to reach Fremantle later today for repairs to the Brigitte Bardot, which hit more trouble in heavy weather yesterday, forcing the evacuation of most crew.

Where did you download the 3.5 update from?
Thanks in advance

Quietly Brilliant! I'm loving it! - HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio (But in White!),
This review is from: HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Sim-Free Smartphone (Electronics)
My previous phone was the HTC Incredible S, which was a decent good phone. However, since the arrival of the HTC Sensation XE, I have been itching to get my hands on one, and now I finally have it, it was worth the wait especially as the white colour option (not the XL) became available recently from HTC.
Most of my colleagues have the Samsung Galaxy S2, which is a good Android phone, however the plasticky build and the fact that nearly everyone has it put me off. I also considered the new Samsung Nexus (running Ice Cream Sandwich), but the poor camera (only 5mp!), no smart dialing feature and lack of expandable memory put me right off! I much prefer the solid aluminium unibody build of the HTC Sensation XE,and the form factor feels good in your hand, not so square and plastic as the Galaxy S2 & Samsung Nexus. To date the XE has the fastest processor on any phone, which makes web browsing a joy and a pleasure to experience, its seriously quick scrolling though the sense user interface. Sense 3.5 update is now available and I have already downloaded and installed it on my XE, its refined and streamlined a huge step up!
With all current high end touchscreen smart phones, battery life is a major concern, thankfully there are high capacity batteries available (namely Anker 1900mAh Li-ion for Sensation)which help ease the woeful performance of the original battery situation. I bought the Anker battery on Amazon and I get just under 2 days use on a single charge, which is good, very good!
The bundled Beats Audio earbuds and sound quality are good too, but I would have preferred HTC to also include virtual surround sound via SRS WOW HD as an additional sound option which was on my previous HTC Incredible S. This was also an audio profile which enhanced the sound dynamics and is similar to the Beats Audio Profile on the XE.
If you are looking for a serious smartphone which is future proof(Ice Cream Sandwich update is coming soon for Xe), has a solid build quality and a stunning vibrant screen with a powerful 1.5GHz dual core processor then give the XE a look out, highly impressive!

I set my phone to receive software updates automatically when they are available. But you can manually check for updates on your phone through: Menu;Settings;About Phone;Software Updates, check the Scheduled check box and select the check now box at the bottom, your phone then starts to check for updates over the air.
Hope this helps

Blockbuster and 2Wire Introduce BB "ONDEMAND"
Blockbuster and 2Wire Introduce New Digital Media Player
MediaPoint digital media player provides instant entertainment from BLOCKBUSTER ® ONDEMAND straight to television
DALLAS and SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Blockbuster Inc. (NYSE: BBI)(NYSE: BBI.B), a leading global provider of media entertainment, and 2Wire, a provider of integrated broadband solutions, today introduced the 2Wire MediaPoint digital media player, an easy-to-use, on-demand video solution that offers movie fans instant access through their television sets to BLOCKBUSTER® ONDEMAND content, including thousands of titles from the latest movie releases to classic favorites.
Beginning today, for a limited time, the MediaPoint digital media player is available free with the advance rental of 25 BLOCKBUSTER ONDEMAND movies for $99 at http://www.blockbuster.com/. Unlike subscription-based services, which typically offer movies years after their release, BLOCKBUSTER ONDEMAND includes hot new releases, many available within weeks of leaving theaters. After the initial 25 rentals, movies are available for as little as $1.99 each. The players will begin shipping in time for the holiday season.
"The MediaPoint digital player, featuring BLOCKBUSTER ONDEMAND, is entertainment made easy. We are bringing Blockbuster, and the thousands of movies in our digital library, straight to customers' televisions," said Jim Keyes, Blockbuster Chairman and CEO. "The player is simple to use, delivers DVD quality video, and there's no monthly subscription commitment. We are delighted to team with 2Wire to give consumers this great entertainment product."
Easy to install, the MediaPoint digital media player works seamlessly with any broadband connection, either wirelessly via built-in Wi-Fi or wired via Ethernet cable, to deliver the hottest new movies, classics, foreign films and television shows from the BLOCKBUSTER digital library. With full fast-forward, rewind, and pause capabilities, the viewing experience is DVD quality, no matter the speed of the broadband connection. Movies can be played right away or saved to watch later. Additionally, the player supports HD video content and can be connected to HDTVs.
"To be successful, a broadband video offering needs to deliver movies that people want to see, in the quality they expect, with minimal setup requirements," said Pat Romano, chief executive officer of 2Wire. "BLOCKBUSTER ONDEMAND and the MediaPoint digital media player give movie fans what they want. We are thrilled to help bring this service to the living room, providing immediate access to high quality movies directly on the television set."
The MediaPoint digital media player is extremely compact -- about the size of two boxes of movie candy -- and can be integrated seamlessly into home entertainment systems through composite cable, HDMI, component cable, or Toslink.

3 Baby-Friendly Features Every Parent Should Look For Before Buying A New Car
If you have a baby or are expecting one, then buying a new car requires more planning then before because you need to consider some additional features. Instead of cool gadgets and speed limits, you're probably thinking of safety devices and bigger seating space. As a new or expecting parent, look for these baby-friendly features when buying new cars. Seating In The Third Row As an expectant or new parent, you probably don't need a third row when you simply plan on having one or two kids. The thought of buying bigger new cars with so many seats may not sound appealing now, but here is what you need to consider. When your child gets older, you're probably going to have to offer to drive some other kids to and from school or from some practice, just like another parent would do for you on days you are busy. As a result, having seating in the third row can come in handy. Instead of buying a smaller car now and replacing it later, you may as well invest in a long-term third-row-seating car knowing that carrying around more people is an eventual possibility. Reversing Cameras When you have a small baby or toddler, then you obviously want to be as careful as possible when backing up into your garage or driveway. This is especially important when your child is at the learning to crawl or walk stage. If there's even the small possibility that babies walk around your car, you will want to keep track of them when reversing, but this can be hard to do with just a rearview mirror. Reversing cameras make it easier to pay close attention to what is behind you every time with their comprehensive views. These reversing cameras are excellent for preventing any major accidents when small kids run around your driveway. Child Booster Seat Compatibility Many new cars come with the option of child booster seat compatibility to ensure safety of children during long drives, while ensuring that they stay comfortable throughout. Choose booster seats with side wings for impact protection on the sides. You'll also want seats with adjustable padding for greater comfort during the drive. While integrated child booster seats may be available in some models, it may be more prudent to simply choose a compatible car because your child is likely to grow out of an integrated seat quickly. A booster seat compatible car enables you to replace the child seat when your kid grows out of it more easily. If you're looking for new cars as a parent or expectant parent, consider these baby-friendly features to make smart...read more
7 Tips to Increase Your Car's Fuel Efficiency
Whether you're planning a road trip or simply trying to cut your monthly budget, you're probably keen to minimise the amount of fuel your vehicle uses. Through careful driving and car maintenance, you could significantly cut your car's running costs and drive for longer between refueling stops. Follow these seven tips to achieve better fuel efficiency. 1. Don't Overload Your Car Your vehicle has to work harder when it's carrying extra weight. Remove any items you don't need from your boot, including tools, sports equipment, old guidebooks or anything else that is hanging out in there. Remember that every 45 kg that a vehicle carries can reduce its fuel efficiency by two percent. 2. Stop Driving Aggressively Zooming away from a stop might be fun, but being too aggressive with accelerating and braking can push up your petrol use. Accelerate smoothly and stay a good distance behind the car in front so you don't need to brake suddenly. 3. Limit Your Cruising Speed Most cars are designed to cruise efficiently at around 90 km/h. According to the Department of the Environment, cruising at 110 km/h can use up to 25 percent extra fuel. Set your cruise control to maintain a steady speed of 90 km/h. 4. Remove Roof Racks Roof racks not only add extra weight to your car, they also interfere with air flow around your vehicle. Improve the aerodynamic drag around your car by removing roof racks when you're not using them. 5. Take Care Of Your Tires and Wheels Under-inflated tires reduce fuel efficiency and have a negative impact on a car's handling. Keep your tires inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure to reduce your fuel usage. It's also a good idea to ask an auto mechanic to check your wheel alignments, as even tiny asymmetries can make the car's handling less efficient. 6. Tune Up Your Engine A well-tuned engine runs more efficiently than one that hasn't been maintained in a long time. If you can't work out why your car's fuel efficiency has declined since you purchased it, try asking local auto mechanics to give the engine a tune up. 7. Know When to Use the Air Conditioning Air conditioning can increase a car's fuel usage by up to 10 percent, but the drag created by opening a window can have an even more detrimental effect when driving at high speeds. At speeds over 80 km/h, using the air conditioner could be a more efficient choice than leaving a window open to create a...read more
Who To Call When You Need A Tow
Roadside emergencies often come at the worst of times. Luckily for motorists, a large number of roadside assistance companies offer 24-hour towing services. A curious vehicle owner may wonder if a roadside assistance company is the only source of hope during an emergency situation. With this in mind, this article proceeds to discuss various other options that a stranded vehicle owner can pursue in the face of a roadside emergency. The Vehicle Manufacturer Perhaps not many motorists are aware that vehicle manufacturers often provide roadside assistance for vehicle owners whose warranty for the automobile is still valid. The criterion of eligibility for roadside assistance service from a vehicle manufacturer differs from one manufacturer to the next. Thus, it is important for a vehicle owner to ensure that they qualify for this service before making the call for roadside assistance. Some vehicle manufacturers have even developed mobile applications that their clients can use to request roadside assistance. Automobile manufacturers commonly provide auto lock-out services, emergency towing services, changing of flat tires and jump-starting of dead automobile batteries. The Insurance Company Unless otherwise indicated, collision insurance and comprehensive insurance cover will cover roadside emergencies. Thus, a vehicle owner who has either of the mentioned policies may qualify for roadside assistance services from their insurance service provider. Because the law doesn't obligate motorists to invest in collision insurance and/or comprehensive insurance, a large number of vehicle owners brush off the importance of such a policy. However, if vehicle owners have one of these policies, they will have someone to call when they need a tow. The Credit Card Company People often don't take the time to read between the lines when signing an agreement with a credit card company. As such, many motorists will probably be shocked to learn that their credit card company may double up as their towing service provider. Several credit card companies include the provision of roadside assistance in their contracts as an incentive to retain their existing clients and to attract prospective new clients. However, it is important to point out that there are often limitations on the maximum distance for which vehicles can be towed and the number of times that a credit card holder can use the service within a given duration. In the event of a roadside emergency, vehicle owners whose warranty is no longer valid, those who only have liability insurance and those whose credit card companies do not provide roadside assistance should proceed to call in a towing company like...read more
What causes gearbox overheating?
Majority of gearbox failures are a result of overheating. Overheating is often a result of something bad with the transmission fluid, which is the lifeblood of your gearbox, providing key functions such as lubricating different parts of the transmission. However, as the transmission fluid ages, it begins to break down and lose its ability to lower the high temperatures inside the gearbox. Consequently, gearbox overheating occurs. So how can you know your gearbox is overheating? Here are some of the common symptoms to check out. Burnt or ineffective transmission fluid Burnt or dirty fluid is a common symptom of gearbox overheating and this begs for a fluid change. Generally, new transmission fluid is clear and pinkish red in color while deteriorated or ineffective fluid is either black or dark brown with bits of metal, contaminants, or dirt. Additionally, if the fluid produces a burning smell, then it should be drained and replaced. Low fluid levels Your gearbox requires a specific level of transmission fluid to work, and lack of enough fluid could cause calamitous complications to ensue. Problems caused by low fluid levels include shaking, slipping, shifting problems, overheating, and breakdown altogether. To check the level of your transmission fluid, use a transmission dipstick. For low fluid levels, the solution is to basically add more of the specified fluid endorsed by the manufacturer. Transmission slip A car transmission is the gear that transfers power from the car's engine across the driveshaft to the live axle. When your car 'slips' while you're driving, this means that the vehicle engine revs with no power being transferred to the wheel and therefore doesn't accelerate like it normally should. Low transmission fluid is a likely cause for this problem as it causes your transmission not to fully engage. Faulty solenoid The solenoid is an electronic component that controls the amount of transmission fluid transferred to the gearbox. In the event of solenoid failure, not enough transmission fluid will be pumped into the gearbox, resulting in gearbox overheating. A faulty solenoid needs quick replacement, though at times the circuitry may be what is causing it to act unreliably. To prevent gearbox overheating, it's imperative that car owners check their transmission fluid at least once every month. This will help you spot inadequate fluid levels and dirty or burnt fluid. Consequently, you can have the fluid replaced at your preferred auto garage. Doing so guarantees that your gearbox is working with the right fluid and prevents overheating. For more information about the importance of gearbox repairs, contact a local automotive...read more
Top tips for parents to cope when the car breaks down
Having your car break down on the side of the road is irritating and inconvenient at the best of times, but when you have children in the car, it can be a nightmare. To help your family cope with an emergency car breakdown, check out these top tips. Have an emergency supplies kit on hand Every car should be equipped with a well-stocked emergency kit, whether there are children in the car or not. What you include in your emergency car kit will vary depending on your family's needs, vehicle, location and weather; however, there are a few basics that should be in your vehicle at all times: First aid kit, equipped with children's paracetamol and any vital medications for your kids and yourself. The owner's manual for your vehicle, as it will show you how to change the tyre and give you plenty of helpful information in a breakdown situation. A torch and a warning light or hazard triangle. Jumper cables, a basic tool kit and a tow rope to help you get out of dangerous conditions. Duct tape, to solve a range of potential problems, from burst hoses to a broken tail light. Water and some long-life, easy to eat, child-friendly food. Think muesli bars, crackers and tinned meals. Wipes and hand sanitiser, because they are every parent's best friend. Also consider including an activity for younger kids, such as a small craft kit or drawing supplies. For older kids, keep a paperback novel they haven't read to keep them entertained and distracted in the case of a breakdown. Rotate anything with an expiry date regularly, such as perishable foods and medications, and as the needs of your family change, you should update your emergency kit accordingly. Never leave home without the kids' essentials If you don't do a lot of long-distance driving, it's easy to become complacent about taking the kids' necessities in the car wherever you go. Being self-sufficient and prepared, however, is a good habit to get into, and in the event of an emergency breakdown you will be eternally glad for your forethought. It's highly recommended that you never leave home without a change of clothes for each child, enough food and water for at least one meal, and even a travel potty for young children who are recently toilet trained. As the weather cools down, keeping a throw blanket in the car can help keep your kids comfortable if you're stranded on the side of the road without the car heater for a while. Call emergency roadside assistance If you are not a member of the emergency roadside assistance provider in your state, it is highly advisable for peace of mind and support for your family in a breakdown situation. Alternatively, you can call emergency roadside assistance as a non-member in need; however, you will be required to become a member in order for them to provide emergency assistance. An invaluable service that can get you out of a difficult situation and get your children back to safety and comfort, do not hesitate to call emergency roadside assistance when you need it. You can also keep the number of an auto shop like All Care Car Services handy to call a tow truck or have a mechanic come to you. Don't panic The...read more
Things to Consider When Contemplating 4wd Lift Kits
Lift kits are a popular modification for owners of four-wheel drive vehicle owners due to the enhanced performance they lend to these vehicles. Not only do lift kits raise your car to give you room to install larger tyres, but lift kits also enable the vehicle to have both a steeper approach when driving as well as a larger ground clearance. However, when it comes to installing a 4wd lift kit, it is not simply about walking into the first auto shop and having modifications done off the bat. Here are some of the considerations to have when contemplating 4wd lift kits. Consider the type of lift kit 4wd lift kits are not manufactured as a one size fits all model. Your individual type of vehicle will dictate what type of lift kit would be better suited for its needs. Your vehicle will also dictate how much lift it can withstand. There are two common types of lift kits that you can consider. The first is the leaf spring kit. This is better suited if you are raising your vehicle a short distance. The second type is the coil spring kit. This option is ideal for vehicle owners who will not want to have to change the shocks of their vehicle when getting it raised. Consider the shock absorbers of your vehicle Another thing to consider when contemplating 4wd lift kits is your vehicle's shock absorbers. Although some vehicles can get away with having coil spring kits installed that will not affect the car's shocks, not all vehicles suit this type of lift kit. One thing to note is that in some cases, the type of lift kit that you opt for will also dictate the type of shocks that you can use in tandem with the lift kit. However, if you were looking for shock absorbers that will work with almost any type of lift kit, your best option would be adjustable shocks. These types of shock absorbers give you the flexibility to modify them before driving depending on what activity you will be carrying out on your vehicle, for instance towing another vehicle. Additionally, adjustable shocks can also be modified depending on the type of terrain you will be driving on to enhance the handling of your vehicle. Another thing to consider when it comes to the shock absorbers is whether you would require adding more after raising your vehicle. In some cases, a 4wd lift kit may cause your vehicle to experience increased vibrations when driving due to the height of the vehicle. To make your driving experience smooth again, you may have to opt for additional shock absorbers even though you may not have had to change your shocks when installing the lift...read more
Transporting Tractors: Three Tips To Get Your Auction Purchase Back To The Farm
Purchasing a used tractor at auction is one way to get a good-priced piece of farm equipment, but you can't exactly drive it home after the event. An oversize transport company is going to make short work of this particular task for you, but the tractor needs to be in a transportable condition before it can be loaded up onto the trailer. These three tips will help you to get your farm machinery loaded up and on the road as soon as possible after the auction hammer falls for the final time. Tyres The tractor needs to be driven onto the transport trailer, which means you need four fully inflated tyres to achieve this. The fastest way to do this is using an air compressor. If you do not have a mobile air compressor unit with you, check with the auction organizers to see if they have one available for use. If not, you will need to either rent one from the closest hardware store, or you will need to use the services of a mobile tyre service to inflate the tyres. Moving The Tractor Because the tractor does need to be driven on and off the transport, it needs to have fuel and a working battery to achieve this goal. Therefore, these are two areas that need to be checked before the transport truck arrives. You certainly don't need to fill the fuel tank of the tractor, in fact, it is a good idea not to because this increases the weight of the machine. Since your transportation cost is based on the weight of the tractor, all extra weight should be removed from the tractor to lower the weight. Putting in enough gas to take the tank to 1/8th full is more than enough for the trip. Additionally, make sure the tractor starts easily on the first try. If it does not, the battery may either be dead or need charging. Take the battery to your closest automotive store for testing if it does not want to turn over when you turn the key. Secure Loose Objects Before the tractor gets loaded, it is important to tie down or remove any loose items that can move around during transportation. For example, if there are tools within the tractor cab, you should consider removing these before loading takes place. This is because the tools could move around the cab during the transit period and may scratch the floor or leave small dents if they are thrown around while traveling on rough roads. Taking a little time to get your tractor ready for transportation will help make sure it gets to its new home looking just like it did when you bought it at auction. For more tips, talk to your oversize transport...read more
Safe Motorway Driving Tips For Newly-Qualified Drivers
If you've recently passed your driving test and are about to drive on the motorway for the first time, you may be feeling rather nervous. Here are some top tips to help make your first motorway experience and safe and enjoyable one. Before you set off Revise your knowledge of the road rules, speed limit and motorway layout. All this information can be found in your Highway Code. Plan your journey so that you know the junction numbers you'll be looking for when you want to join and leave the motorway. Always set your satnav before you leave; don't try to alter it whilst you're driving. Make sure that there's plenty of windscreen wash in your car's reservoir. Driving at speed can mean that you end up with dirt and bugs splattered on your windscreen, which can impede visibility, so you must be able to clear it as required. Check that all your lights are working and that your tyre pressures are correct. Joining the motorway It's important that you build up sufficient speed on the slip road before joining the flow of traffic on the motorway. If you're too slow, cars will have to brake and change lanes to avoid you, which could cause an accident. Remember to check your mirrors and look over your right shoulder for your blind spot before joining. Leaving the motorway When you need to leave the motorway, keep an eye on the signage and exit markers so that you know which lane you need to be in in plenty of time. Indicate your intention to join the exit slip road as you pass the final countdown marker and begin to decelerate as you do so. Overtaking If you need to overtake, allow plenty of time to change lanes and always check your blind spot before moving out. Once you've finished the manoeuvre, move back into the inside lane. Don't hog the middle or outside lanes; these are designed for overtaking only. Important things to remember New drivers can find it difficult to judge speed and distance on the motorway until they have more experience, especially at night. Check your speedometer regularly to make sure that you're not driving too fast or too slowly, and allow plenty of space and time for overtaking and changing lanes. Distractions such as loud music, smoking or reading texts on your phone can be extremely dangerous when you're driving on the motorway where your reaction time needs to be super-fast. Put anything that might distract you in the glove box before you set off, and keep your radio at a sensible volume. Be aware of changes in the speed limit due to congestion, roadworks, or adverse weather conditions. There will be signage displayed to this effect on overhead gantry signs, and you must always observe these instructions. Because your speed is much faster on the motorway than on other roads, your stopping distance will be much greater. Keep well back from the car in front of you, and increase this gap even further if the weather is foggy, icy, or wet. Motorway driving can be monotonous and tiring. If you feel yourself losing concentration, stop at the next motorway services for a coffee and a breath of fresh air,...read more
What to Consider When Buying a Plant Trailer for Your Company
A plant trailer refers to a type of trailer that is used specifically to haul equipment you would use in a plant or commercial facility; this might mean a crane, bobcat, forklift, tractor, and the like. A plant trailer can be used for moving this equipment from one end of your facility to another so that you don't tear up its tires, or it can be used for hauling the equipment from one jobsite to the next. When you're ready to invest in a plant trailer for your company, note a few things to consider so you ensure you get the right model and type. 1. Gross weight When buying a trailer for any purpose, you may see the terms gross vehicle weight rating and gross trailer weight rating. The gross trailer weight rating refers to the weight the trailer itself can manage; this would mean the weight of the trailer as well as anything it's carrying, and that includes fuel, spare parts, and the like. Gross vehicle weight rating refers to the maximum amount of weight the towing vehicle can manage. This too would refer to the vehicle itself as well as fuel, equipment in the back or trunk, and passengers, as well as the overall weight of the trailer and anything that is on the trailer. Be sure you understand the difference between these two phrases and choose a trailer than can haul the equipment you own and all its parts and accessories. You also need to know that you have a vehicle with a sufficient weight rating for hauling your equipment and trailer as well. 2. Note the center of gravity and axles The trailer you choose needs to have a center of gravity or number of axles that will support the equipment you're hauling, as some equipment may cause the trailer to tip because of how it's loaded and where its heaviest point is located. As an example, a crane may need to have its body, its heaviest part, loaded near the back of the trailer so that there is room enough for the crane arm and bucket in the front. If you load a crane onto a trailer with just one axle in the middle, this weight of the crane sitting on the back of the trailer can then cause the trailer to tip backwards. If you will be hauling any type of equipment with an uneven center of gravity like this, you need to ensure you invest in a trailer with more than one axle so that the weight is dispersed. This will keep the trailer from tipping or dragging on one...read more
How Do You Tell It's Time to Replace the Tyres of Your Car?
As much as they are built for the tough work on the road, your tyres need to be replaced from time to time. It is not only good for the car but also for your safety when driving around. Worn-out tyres are particularly dangerous when you are driving on wet roads. They endanger your safety and that of the other road users, which makes it important to have them replaced before they cause any damage. In addition, you are often at the risk of losing control of the car, especially when driving at high speed even on dry roads. Here are a few tips to help you know when it's time to contact a car service to have your tyres have to be replaced: Look at the pattern of the tread Most tyres sold in the market today have standardised tread bars. Tread bars are solid ridges found between the treads at different points of the tyre. If you check the tyres and realise that the treads are level or slightly below the tread bars, then it is time to have them replaced. These days, tread-depth gauges or indicators are available in auto parts dealer shops. They are easy to use, and they indicate the minimum depth that the tread should have. Take note of irregular tread wear Each tyre is exposed to different conditions on the road. Therefore, the rate at which they wear out also differs. Feel the face of the tyres with you palm for any balding sensation, which is an indication that the tyre has lost its grip. Abnormal bubbles or bulges on the sidewall of the tyre A bulge on the sidewall of the tyre is an indication that the firm internal frame of the tyre is either cracked or damaged. This allows the air pressure to reach the flexible layers on the outer parts of the tyre. Such a damage that causes the bulges may result from driving on an uneven road or through a pothole. In addition, driving when the tyre has inadequate pressure could also lead to the bulging. The bulges elevate the risk of having a tyre burst, especially when driving in hot weather. This is because of the reduced structural integrity of the tyre. Regardless of the status of the tread, you should replace any of the tyres with a bulge to avoid compromising your safety on the road. Dry rot Dry rot refers to small cracks on the rubber surface of the tyre. It is an indication that the rubber is deteriorating gradually. Such tyres have to be replaced. If you continue using them, the tyre can fall apart and separate from the steel belt holding the wheel together. Besides the risk of an accident, such a scenario can also damage the exterior parts of the car....read more

A macroeconomic model with a financial sector
This paper studies the full equilibrium dynamics of an economy with financial frictions. Due to highly non-linear amplification effects, the economy is prone to instability and occasionally enters volatile episodes. Risk is endogenous and asset price correlations are high in down turns. In an environment of low exogenous risk experts assume higher leverage making the system more prone to systemic volatility spikes - a volatility paradox. Securitization and derivatives contracts leads to better sharing of exogenous risk but to higher endogenous systemic risk. Financial experts may impose a negative externality on each other and the economy by not maintaining adequate capital cushion.
