Generator Buyers Guide
Things to Consider When Shopping for a Generator
We all like to get away from it all once in a while. Whether that is to a cabin, a remote off-road campsite, the racetrack, or just the parking lot of your favorite team's stadium chances are there aren't any electrical outlets handy. Having a portable generator means getting away from it all while still taking a lot of the modern conveniences with you.
Portable generators are also great in any emergency where the power might go out. Even if you just use it to keep the refrigerator running for a few days, a generator can pay for itself after the first storm in food that didn't go bad. Plus you'll be able to keep your cell phones charged, and listen to the radio, or watch the TV news for important updates.
If you live in a rural or suburban area on a big spread of land, having a generator to take out to a far corner of your homestead is easier than running hundreds of feet of extension cords just to get some work lights or run a portable compressor. The bigger units will even allow you to run a MIG welder and do portable repairs in the field, without having to haul everything back to the shop for welding.
So, we've established you need a generator, so what should you consider before buying?
(Warning: There will be math, but we won't quiz you on it)
- Wattage – Generators are rated in the amount of watts they can put out, usually with a peak number and a lower continuous number. This makes it easy to figure out how many light bulbs you could run off of it, but not much else is typically rated at watts. A 3000 watt portable generator rated at 2800 continuous can light 46 lightbulbs with a 60 watt rating. For tools and appliances with an electric motor the starting wattage can be a lot higher (2 to 3 times higher) than the continuous draw, that's why they are rated that way. Most appliances have an amperage listed in their documentation, as do most tools. The formula to convert is an easy straightforward one: Watts = Volts x Amps. So multiply the rated amperage by 120v or 240v and you get the needed wattage to run it. Our MIG 135 welder rated at 20A 120V maximum input would need 2400 watts running at full power.
- Voltage– The MIG 135 welder brings up a good point, if you plan on running any tools or appliances that require 220V power you had better buy a generator that puts out 220V. Of course, you already know what sort of power your tools require, but if you plan on using it for emergency backup it is important to check things like furnace and hot water heater requirements. Who cares if you can watch TV and the food is still cold when you can't heat the house or take a hot shower?
- Noise – This isn't much of an issue with emergency backup usage, as it is at campsites and the race track. If you buy a cheap generator with a loud engine that runs all night you will not have any friends in the pits or campground. Be sure to look at the Db rating of the lower cost generator before you commit because you may have to be the one listening to it all night.
- Pull or Electric Start?– Usually the higher wattage rated generators come with electric start, instead of just a pull cord. A pull cord is fine, and when in good order, any generator will start up with a few pulls, but the 12th time you have to start it on a week-long trip you may regret not getting the pushbutton start.
- Run Time – If you plan on using your generator to run lights on a job site all night, or keep the fridge cold in an emergency, you are going to want an 8hr or more run time on a tank of fuel, or you are literally going to lose sleep over it. Remember running time is usually calculated at half load, and do the math again with the formula above.
- Portability – This will always be a compromise, the more wattage a generator can put out the bigger it usually is. If you plan on needing power somewhere really remote and rough, and having backup for your whole house, you may need to buy 2 generators. A 7500 watt generator typically weighs close to 200lbs, which is going to require a lot of muscle to carry over an unpaved trail, even with wheels on it.
- Fuel – Most small to medium sized generators run on regular gasoline. But for RV usage and rural backup use diesel power is the way to go because the motors are more rugged, and diesel fuel is stable in the tank for a lot longer than modern gasoline. Some generators are configured to run on propane or LPG as well, which doesn't produce much carbon monoxide, so can be used in tighter quarters where the fumes from a diesel or gasoline generator would make people sick.
Eastwood's 3000 watt generator is rated for 2800 watts of continuous usage. That will easily run most refrigerators, and a few of other appliances, as long as they don't all start at once. Remember, anything with an electric heating element is going to be a wattage hog, a hot plate or electric griddle can use 1500 watts. We already talked about the MIG 175, but air compressor motors can suck up even more juice, especially when they first start. For example a 1hp motor can need 4500 watts to get going, so check what the motor on your portable compressor says before buying the generator.
- Wattage – Generators are rated in the amount of watts they can put out, usually with a peak number and a lower continuous number. This makes it easy to figure out how many light bulbs you could run off of it, but not much else is typically rated at watts. A 3000 watt portable generator rated at 2800 continuous can light 46 lightbulbs with a 60 watt rating. For tools and appliances with an electric motor the starting wattage can be a lot higher (2 to 3 times higher) than the continuous draw, that's why they are rated that way. Most appliances have an amperage listed in their documentation, as do most tools. The formula to convert is an easy straightforward one: Watts = Volts x Amps. So multiply the rated amperage by 120v or 240v and you get the needed wattage to run it. Our MIG 135 welder rated at 20A 120V maximum input would need 2400 watts running at full power.
How to Port and Polish Cylinder Heads
Porting cylinder heads for better performance is as much an art as it is a science. Strange as it may seem, just making the intake and exhaust passages bigger will not always improve performance, and may actually hurt it. The expert port polishers are still guys with a lifetime of experience and the ability to visualize the invisible gas flow at high speed in 3D. They are like wizards. But there are certain easily done basic techniques that even a beginner can learn and that work on all engines. Doing just the basic gasket matching, port smoothing and bowl blending it is not unusual to see 10% power increases across the board.
Safety First
First things first, you need the proper safety gear. Porting and polishing involves grinding away metal and as such there will be grit, grindings and dust flying once you spin up the tools. Safety googles and a dust mask are a minimum; you may want a full face shield. Gloves are also a good idea, not only to keep your hands clean, but to keep from grinding off any fingerprints. Be extra careful around loose fitting clothing, jewelry and long hair; tuck it in, remove it, or tie it back before you start.
There are not a lot of tools needed to do your first porting and polishing job. You will need an electric or air powered high speed die grinder, some abrasive rolls and the mandrels they mount to, all of which are included in the Eastwood Engine Porting Kit with Die Grinder. Also available in a mini die grinder kit, or with just the rolls and mandrels. You may also want some carbide burrs, which are especially helpful if you are working with cast iron. If you are working with aluminum or other soft metals you may want a tube of Eastwood Grinder's Grease too, to help keep the tools from loading up with metal.
The Three Basics
Gasket Matching – Gasket matching is the process of matching the size of the port to the size of the intake gasket. Often times there is an overlap where the intake manifold runner is slightly bigger than the opening it mates to in the cylinder head. By tracing the opening of the gasket on the mating surface of both head and manifold you can be certain the flowing gas has a smooth transition between the two. It is not important to open them up bigger, the important thing is that there is no step that disrupts the flow.
Port Smoothing – Here in the 21st century cylinder heads come direct from the foundry with ports much smooth then was imaginable back in the 1950s when most classic power plants were being cast. On top of improved casting techniques, the design of the ports is much better too. But most old school cylinder heads have rough cast ports that can be much improved with a little work. Firstly, you want to grind out any shark, jagged, left over casting flash in the ports. Secondly, you want to smooth any sharp transitions or obstructions in the port. And lastly, you want to generally smooth the port walls. Be careful on the intake as a slightly rougher wall helps fuel atomization. Above all remove as little metal as possible.
Bowl Blending – Blending the surfaces of the combustion chamber, or bowl, has 2 benefits. One, eliminating sharp edges helps stop pre-ignition from localized hot spots. Two, unshrouding the valve lets the mixture flow better into and out of the combustion chamber. It's a good idea when working in this area to insert an old set of valves so you can avoid grinding too close to the seats. Remember, making the chambers bigger will decrease the static compression ratio, so again, take out just as much metal as you need too. Never use a carbide burr in the combustion chamber, they are much too aggressive and will remove too much metal.
How To
- Take a good new intake gasket and attach it to the head loosely with a couple of bolts.
- Scribe a line around the ports, using the gasket as a template. A carbide scribe of finishing nail works great, you can also use a Sharpie but you will quickly rub off the ink.
- Depending on how much material you need to remove, start grinding away with the carbide burr or an abrasive roll. Don't grind in any one area too much. Instead work around and around the port removing a little bit at a time until you have opened it up to your scribed line. Later you can use the same technique on the intake manifold ports too.
- Once the ports are opened up properly, continue to grind and smooth your way toward the valve seat. For the sake of durability and good sealing try to stop your grinding 1/2 inch before the actual valve seat.
- Feel and look inside the port to find any flash and rough jagged edges left from the casting process. You may want to attack these with a carbide burr first to speed things along. Grind these smooth.
- Then work the cylindrical and tapered drums around and in and out of the port until it is a uniform smoothness throughout.
- Flip the heads over and work the area under the valve seat. There is usually a sharp ridge in the port in this area that should be smoothed into a more gradual transition. Again, be extra careful not to cut into the valve seat itself, or weaken that area.
- A particularly important area of the intake port to smooth is the short side radius. This is the sharp turn the port has to take as it changes direction just before the valve seat. In this picture it is below and just ahead of the tapered abrasive roller.
- It's a good idea to work all the intake ports, then the exhausts, then the chambers. That way you are more likely to get more uniform results. It will also take less time this way, as you will be able to work faster as you practice on each port.
- There is no need to gasket match the exhaust ports to the header or manifold. In fact popular wisdom holds that having a smaller port and a step will help scavenging and limit reversion. Reversion is the exhaust being sucked back into the cylinder during the brief period when the valve is opened and the piston is on its way back down for the intake stroke.
- Smooth the same sorts of casting issues and sharp edges you addressed in the intake as you work the exhaust ports. Unlike the intake, which prefers a rougher finish to promote fuel atomization, the exhaust can be polished to a mirror finish if you want. The smoother the finish inside the exhaust the less likely you are to get carbon build up over time. Eastwood offers abrasive drums in 240 and 320 grit specifically for this.
- Next on to the combustion chambers. The very first thing to do on the chambers is knock off the sharp edge all the way around left from milling the heads. Just take an abrasive roll and make one lap all the way around the edge of the combustion chamber.
- It's a good idea while blending the combustion chambers to put an old set of valves in to protect the seats from your abrasive tools.
- Smooth and grind and rough casting areas within the combustion chambers. Remember, every added CC of metal you grind away will lessen the compression ratio, so grind away as little as possible (unless a lower CR is one of your goals).
- Depending on what motor you are working with, there may be problem areas in its design that are known to shroud the valves and affect flow. Consult the internet for more specific information about your project.
- After working the combustion chambers it is a good idea to CC them and make sure they are all equal. This is done by putting the valves in and covering each chamber with a flat piece of Plexiglas with a hole in it, sealed to the surface with a little grease. Use a graduated cylinder to measure how much fluid it takes to fill it entirely.
- Repeat porting process on the intake manifold runners and exhaust manifolds (if running OEM style cast iron). Headers do not need any extra attention; tubular headers are typically already smooth inside.
- Clean everything thoroughly inside and out to remove all the metal shavings and abrasive grit before starting to reassemble the motor.
That is all there is to porting cylinder heads. At least, that is all there is to the technique of porting heads. All you need to learn now is the art of exactly what and where to grind away in order to reshape the ports for best flow. That is going to be different for every motor, and even every different cylinder head casting for each motor. For more of the art behind optimal porting Eastwood offers a 160 page book by David Vizard called "How to Port & Flow Test Cylinder Heads". This book delves deep into flow characteristics and how to improve them. It also shows you how to build a flow bench to test your work in the shop, before the motor goes together.

How To Weld a Butt Joint
One of the simplest welding joints is the butt joint. It is not the strongest, but it is one of the most useful especially for automotive body work. This type joint is used whenever you butt 2 pieces together and then weld between where the two meet. Butt welding thin sheet metal can be complicated because thinner metal has a tendency to burn through on the edges. This doesn't mean it's impossible, just that there are techniques that can be used to minimize these issues.
Because the edge of a piece of metal absorbs heat faster than a solid surface, you need to modify your technique with the electrode. Whether you are using wire feed, stick or TIG welding, you need to move the electrode quickly and dance around the weld area, to avoid burn through. With the stick welding technique, this can be done using a stitch welder, which moves the electrode in and out like a sewing machine needle when you pull the trigger.
When done properly, a butt joint should show bead on both sides of the metal. One way to help insure this is to clamp the 2 pieces with a uniform gap between them. The Eastwood Butt Weld Clamp and Backer Set holds sheet metal slightly apart for better weld penetration and also helps hold the work tight to prevent warpage from the heat. These clamps also help to prevent crawl, which occurs when the metal tries to move away from the heat of the work area.
Even with clamps, the first step in a butt joint is to tack weld along the entire length of the joint. Start with a weld every few inches, at a uniform distance, then go back and fill in with more tack welds between the first set. Before moving on to the final bead you should have welds about an inch apart along the entire joint. Even with this technique, there will be some distortion that needs to be hammered out afterwards, but this will help minimize it.
Some welders prefer to use a weaving/zig zag or circular technique with thinner metals. This leaves you with a wider bead than you need, but it helps to spread out the heat of the weld to minimize burn through and warping. Before doing butt welds on something important, practice different angles with the electrode, rate of travel of your welding and length of your arc until you are comfortable with the thickness you need to weld, and establish your technique to avoid burning through it.
The picture above shows 4 different welds in cross section that you are likely to see when making TIG welded butt joints. Figure B shows correct technique, while examples A, C and D have various issues.
A: A common mistake beginners make is to pile too much bead on the top side of the joint, in an attempt to keep from burning through. This can be because the weld was not hot enough or more likely because the electrode was not close enough to the surface for proper penetration. For a butt joint to be acceptable, the bead should envelope both edges on both sides of the work, so no trace of the original edge can be seen.
B: This is an example of the correct penetration of a butt joint. There is bead showing on both sides of the work, with the lower bead being slightly smaller than the upper weld.
C: When you have too much penetration, the weld will begin to show undercutting and take this shape. You can see how the bead has begun to sag through the joint and not fill the top side fully. Undercutting is where the thickness of the weld is actually less than the work being welded, which means a weak joint.
D: This shows even more penetration and undercutting; the top bead has taken an almost concave shape. This is an even worse example than the one directly above.
In addition to the common problems, there are also a few different ways you can prep the metal before it is welded. The following only really applies when welding metal 1/8" or thicker because any thinner and you will almost always burn through.
The first and most common is known as a square butt weld. This is done when two flat pieces are up against each other. this is used for thinner metals and TIG welding. If welding metal thicker than 3/16" this method should not be used because the weld will not penetrate far enough into the metal and will not be as strong.
The next type of but joint is known as a bevel or double V joint. This type of weld is a must when welding metal 1/4" - 3/4". When the edges of each piece are ground down it creates a valley or grove for the weld to sit in, this gives more surface area for the weld to bond the two panels.
The third type of butt joint is known as a double bevel or double 'V" and is the strongest type of butt joint. This type of joint is used in areas where weld strength is critical. This type of weld is usually used when welding metal thicker than 3/4" but can also be used on thinner metals if more strength is needed.
It is true that the strength of welds when doing butt joints to body panels is not as critical as when doing structural repairs. However, properly welded butt joints will make the repair look better with less grinding and body filler. A well done joint will also last much longer, while a poorly done repair may crack and ruin the paint and body work after just a few miles of driving. Because of this, it's important to practice and get the underlying repairs correctly done before moving on to the next phase. Learn the proper butt joint technique, and you will use it on countless welding jobs.

Hotel room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice.
Entrance was under construction for a grand open of new hotel building. Location of hotel could not offer a great view.
It was great that really every evening it is possible to meet somebody in the bar having party.
Good check-in, ok breakfast, hotel was central in town, close to shops, restaurants, cinema.
No shampoo in toilet, on request no shampoo was given. No water glass or plastic cup in toilet. Low lighting in ceiling in toilet. One lamp was broken in toilet. During shower too much water flowed past toilet and all the way to the sink.
Well located in the centre of the town, no noise to disturb you at night.
very good breakfast and good location
the room was too hot!!!! we hurry out as soon as possible. next time we deffenently want a room with a window........
A person who I was meeting with, was arriving late & I was able to arrange some food to be in his room when he arrived. (Past resteraunt closing time)
We liked the location, which split a long train journey. The hotel was fine, though not really a destination hotel. It gave us a chance to see Honefoss, which should not be called "Chicken Falls" around the locals. Staff was extremely helpful. Good breakfast, but avoid the sour yogurt.
Pretty basic. Not exactly the cleanest place on earth. Not dirty, but not thoroughly cleaned. Just a bit of a dated place.
very comfortable hotel for acceptable price
The hotell was very comfortable, the garden was very impressive.
staff was amazing. the views are amazing.
It is far from the airport. Probably have to pay $200 with taxi to get there but worth the money.
Beautiful location. Rooms were very nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great.
Tight spaces driving in but we always found parking.
Nice place and clean room, quiet. Good location near the fjord. Huge breakfast with lot of choice. Jj
Bed little bit too small.
very nice relaxed atmosphere, excelllent dinner

Few political figures of the twentieth century have aroused as much controversy as the Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky. Trotsky's extraordinary life and extensive writings have left an indelible mark on revolutionary conscience; and yet there was at one time a danger that his name would disappear altogether from history. Isaac Deutscher's magisterial three-volume biography was the first major publication to counter the powerful Stalinist propaganda machine, and in this definitive work Trotsky emerges in his real stature, as the most heroic, and ultimately tragic, character of the Russian revolution. This first volume of the trilogy, originally published in 1954, traces Trotsky's political development: his early activities, the formation and crystallization of his distinctive and motivating ideaathe permanent revolutiona his long feud and final reconciliation with Lenin and Bolshevism, and his role in the October insurrection of 1917. The volume ends in the year 1921, when Trotsky, then at the climax of his power, unwittingly sowed the seeds of his own defeat.This first volume of the trilogy traces Trotskya#39;s political development.

Thanks for looking over the patches. You are right. If the flag is not permanent, the machine could fail after the vg_commit, but before the resume - resulting in the devices never being rebuilt.
The problem from the other side is that if the flag is permanent (is written to metadata), then the machine could crash after the resume has properly prep'ed the device for a rebuild but before clearing the flag for the next activation. This would result in the devices being rebuilt every time the LV is activated.
Perhaps I will work on some post processing for lvchange/vgchange, where certain flags are cleared after activation has been assured. Or perhaps a flag could be added to the VG on-disk metadata that would indicate transaction has failed part-way through.
I heard thinp is using generation numbers to allow the kernel to ignore commands it has already performed. However, this implies that the LVM metadata is somehow changed after the action is completed - otherwise it would simply redo these actions upon every activation. Perhaps I could align my code with that somehow?
In the mean time, I can make the flags so they are written to disk.

Can someone please tell me the difference between megatone and regular MPC
I have both of them, same size 7C , but they both feel the same, even though megatone is some 50% heavier
why is it heavier, and what is megatone intended for?
Can someone please tell me the difference between megatone and regular MPC

why is it heavier, and what is megatone intended for?
More weight dampens vibration, supposedly makes the tone more centered or something like that.
I'm not all together convinced of it, though; I use a 3c megatone with my cornet, and I dont notice any difference between it and a normal 3c. But I paid $70 for it, so I'm using it haha
Jupiter 812r Trumpet
Jupiter 1604s XO Trumpet
Pheaton 2500 Flugelhorn
...and many more
According to Selmer:
"To create the Mega Tone, Selmer
starts with genuine Vincent Bach
mouthpiece designs and more than doubles
the outside mass. This darkens the
sound and allows you to play at higher
dynamic levels without distortion. Mega
Tone slots extremely well so pitches center
dependably, and a slightly larger
throat affords less resistance and greater
flexibility. The result is a warmer, more
powerful sound that adds a new dimension
to concert, pop and jazz playing."
For many years I used a Bach 3C mouthpiece, so I tried a Megatone for about a year when they first became "popular". In my opinion they made me sound dull and lifeless and didn't offer any of the benefits listed in their advertisements.
Some people swear by them, so it could just be me...
Megatone mouthpieces also have slightly larger throats. I play on a 3b and a 3c Megatone. Mainly the 3c these days.
Hello Chet Fan. IMHO, I feel like the Conn Selmer CKB megatones play much better than the Bach megatones. The weight mass is spread more even across the mouthpiece.
The CKB has a better universal shank taper and will fit most other brand of Trumpets/Cornets. The Bachs will usually have a wiggle and need tape etc. for a better gap setting. Unless you are using Bach Horns. Notice this on all my King Horns,vintage or modern.
If you like the Bach 7C rim,the Conn CKB 7C rim will work for you. The Conn CKB 7C will be a little brighter playing than the 5C/3C or 1 1/2C CKB's.
The Conn Selmer CKB 5C rim has the same sharp inner edge rim like the Bach 5C rim. The CKB 3C rim and the CKB 1 1/2C rims will be less sharp. All CKB rims are close to being the same rim design, as the Bach counter parts.
Kelly Mouthpiece Company has the best buy on the Conn Selmer 7C CKB mouthpiece. www.1stclarinet.com sells both CKB Trumpet/Cornet m.p's. I ordered a CKB 5C Cornet M.P. to try out on my 1938/1948 King Master Cornets. Fitted and played real nice,but that rim is tough on a tender lip fellow like me.
Am going back to my Kanstul CG Personel/CG3 Trumpet/Cornets M.P's. The rims are a lot easier on my thin lips. Just have to practice more to get use to the more open throats. Good luck
Well it is not exactly Bach 7c, but Amati 3C that is supposed to be exact copy of Bach 7C megatone
I have never ever seen Bach MPC, because there aint any in shops in my area. I have Gewa 7C standard MPC, that has exact the same rim as Amati 3C. I also have Yamaha 11C4 that is also supposed to be Bach 7C, but it is just a little bit narrower, but only maybe 0.01 mm, minimal difference.
I am also blessed with absolutely normal lips ,neither thin nor thick, and my teeth are lined up perfectly -so I think I will stuck with 7c forever
In the US "Everyone" starts with a Bach 7c, what a clinch on the market they have. Must be millions of the things in the US in closets, pawn shops, etc. I'm stickin' to Bach 7C until I have a good reason to change to something else.
About 40 lbs of trumpet books for sale. Arban's, Colin, Gordon, all the good stuff. Ask me.

Go ahead, rub it in!
Mouth piece opinions are as plentiful as the different sizes they come in. I just recently went through the mpc journey myself from asymetrics to smaller cups and larger backbores and light or heavyweights. I personaly like the way a heavy mpc makes me sound. It handles an ocasional overblow nicely and centers my sound. I couldnt find a new mpc that worked better than my good old Bach 5C but the Megatone didnt sound as good so I had Terry Warburton cut, thread, and gold plate my trusty 5C. Then I tried a LARGE number of Warburton backbores and found that larger was working better for me. I decided on the Series 80 heavy backbore in size 11, which is larger than the stock Bach backbore. Also I have less bloating of air with the more freeblowing 5C top. The sales lit. says the heavy backbores take more strength to play but that hasnt been a problem for me the results speak for themselves. Best wishes.

text: Scott Sternberg has gone double barrel shotty on #menswear's with this quilted crewneck sweatshirt. I imagine this shit is so snug that every time you raise your arms you can feel your blood vessels exploding. But for all the younglings who stay v healthy on white people organic juice cleanses, this is the perfect means by which to up your every day casual game. We've seen quilting ad nauseam in tailored outerwear pieces, so it's nice to see BoO dispensing expectations. I never thought I would be thankful for someone trying to sell me a $400 sweatshirt.

Hello and welcome to Andy1st driving school in Barnet. Congratulations! You have taken the first step to passing your test and embarking on this exciting journey. Being able to drive offers more flexibility and freedom and of course you won't have to wait around for unreliable public transport! We offer a range of packages to suit everyone and we have various discounts and payment options to suit everyone's budget. All of our instructors are professional, understanding and experienced. We provide a fantastic standard of driving tuition at very competitive prices.
Some of our pupils prefer to learn the traditional way i.e. taking regular lessons, usually weekly. This allows you to learn at a methodical pace and it helps to spread the cost of lessons too. You can book them in a block at a discounted rate or you can book them on a "pay as you go" basis. Learning this way is specifically recommended for nervous drivers and for those who want to spread the cost. We also offer intensive courses which teach you all the same things but in a very short and intense time span. Now intensive courses don't suit everyone as they are what the name suggests, intense!
If you think an intensive course is for you, then your instructor will assess you to see if the course is suitable for you. Depending on your experience and skills, they will be able to give you an idea of how many lessons you would need. If you have driven before or have a good aptitude for driving then it may be as few as 20 lessons. If you've never driven before it could be as many as 50 or 60 lessons. However many it is, they will all be packed into a shorter space of time. For example if your instructor thought you needed 30 lessons, you would probably drive for up to 5 hours a day. That could mean that you could learn and pass your test in as little as 6 days!
You must bear in mind, however, that when you begin your intense course you must have taken your theory test before you embark on the intensive course. The lessons and the practical test run straight into each other so you have to have passed the theory test first. We can provide help with both tests so don't worry about that. Your theory test will be computer based and will test your general knowledge of driving in general and then test your hazard perception skills. We take the safety of our pupils, our instructors and of course other road users very seriously which is why we deliver more than just an ordinary level of tuition and service.
We have experienced and helpful office staff who can answer your initial queries and questions and a fantastic group of instructors who are dedicated and passionate about their role. They will try their best to make it as easy and convenient for our pupils to learn to drive. They provide lessons at times that suit your work, college and social commitments. They will pick you up from work, school or home and drop you back to where is convenient making it easier to fit driving lessons into your life.
We truly believe in giving everyone who wants to and is able to drive the chance to learn which is why we provide support to those with additional needs. We have both manual and automatic cars to learn in which allows those who find difficulties with manual transmissions the opportunity to learn to drive. We have some pupils with limiting physical difficulties but who find automatic cars easy to manage and thus are still able to achieve their goal of passing their driving test. We also offer help to those with Dyslexia who find the computer based training tricky. We are so passionate about teaching people to drive we strive to help overcome as many barriers as we can.
We are one of the fastest growing driving schools in the country and we are often asked what are secret is! Well, the key to many successful businesses is its people and we couldn't offer our tailor-made packages to you if it wasn't for the dedication and hard work of our instructors. They work very hard to deliver and maintain the high standard of tuition we are known for and their flexibility and can-do attitude helps everyone who learns with us. Obviously the variety of learning packages attracts many of our pupils as they offer something for everyone. You will also see from our testimonials that our pupils are very happy with their lessons and their instructor and have had fun learning. We all learn quicker and more effectively if we are enjoying what we're doing.
Please give us a call to find out more.

Brussels...Nicer than the vegetable :)
... wandered over to the Grand Place, which is a huge cobbled square, made up of magnificent buildings on each side. It was gobsmacking, absolutely beautiful, and is UNESCO heritage listed. It was lively with tourists and we even saw a wedding party come out on the balcony of the town hall and do a Royal wave! A tour group of students started up a Conga line and conga'd around the square, trying to get others joining in, but we weren't having any of that! It was fun to watch ...

My son is addicted! My son is 2yrs old. I literally cannot keep my son off my phone, he luvs this app! He is addicted to this app! I have other games & this is his fav! I cannot believe how much he can do on it! He is such a pro at it now! I luv how it changes vehicles after u build them. He luvs to watch them go after he completed the puzzle of putting together the vehicles. What a great game for kids! U must try it! I'm impressed!
Great FREE game for kids I don't see how anyone can give this game a bad rating as the game is completely free with no in app purchases or Ad's. My 3 year old son loves this game as much as LEGOs themselves. It's not a complex game at all but it's great for the targeted age group (toddlers).
Brilliant but not until later I loved this game but after playing with it for a while then all of the sudden the little coins well when you collect a couple it doesn't give you a prize but the car is still moving. Please fix this guys. But brilliant game.
"Allow Lego Juniors..to make and manage phone calls?"?? Clicked into the game by accident and was asked to allow this app to make and manage calls..what? My nephew would have just clicked the message away not knowing what it was, why does this children's game require access to make calls????
Fun Way To Learn My 2 year old twin cousins really love this game! They have learned quite a bit while playing this game! I'm 11 and I play it sometimes! Lol! Except when you get all the cars it gets pretty boring
Love it My 4 year old son loves your app. Any car trip longer than 5 min he wants my phone. I love watching him use his creative side to build and some of the sound effects he makes with it. Very educational and happy for him to play Lego on my phone. Hoping for some new and exciting features to be added please
What's New
Minor updates & much more FUN! Update, build, cruise!

Polls Open, Low Turnout Expected In California PrimaryWith no divisive ballot initiatives or high-profile races on the ballot Tuesday, California's top-two primary election was expected to be a sleepy affair that draws little interest from voters.

Not exactly a coffee substitude
Posted by QuirkyMissy on May 08, 2012
It's rich and smooth, no doubt, but it doesn't really taste like coffee. It is more of a chocolaty taste. I add this to my decaf coffee to enhance the coffee, but not as a stand-alone.
No me convence... ¡Demasiado intenso!
Posted by martaekos on Aug 28, 2013
No está mal el sabor, pero en frío no se disuelve del todo bien y su sabor, para mi gusto, es demasiado intenso, probaré la versión clásica pero me temo que no superará mi querido Bambú.
Not my favorite
Posted by odereviews on Dec 18, 2013
Scent reminds me of a farm (not in the good way), and taste is pretty stange. No doubt the worst coffee I have gotten from iHerb. Question is what to do with rest of the 99 servings...

Home-Style White Bread RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 1 cup water (70° to 80°)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed). Yield: 1 loaf (about 1-1/2 pounds, 16 slices).
Reviews for Home-Style White Bread
"Excellent! Tastes just like the bread I've made using my mixer"
"As the other reviews, it is a very basic white bread perfect for a quick dinner or as a toast bread, or if you need bread for something else, like bread crumbs or bread for bread pudding. It also offers a lot of room to add things. As for the below review, if you don't load your bread machine properly or have old yeast/dead yeast, your bread won't rise no matter what you do."
"This was the very first white bread recipe I used and it's the best & easiest. I bake mine in my regular oven in a loaf pan as I dislike the paddle mark. 350 deg. for about 20-25 mins."
"This is a really good white bread. I have made it several times. My first venture with a bread machine. My only complaint is the crust is a little tough. Love homemade bread!"
"I just made this in my bread machine and it completely flopped. The bread hardly rose and it is sunk in the middle while baking. Is it supposed to have an egg in it?"
"This recipe was just what I was looking for a bread with more home made taste. Thank you for sharing."
"This recipe is the one we started with for bread baking. There is plenty of room to add your own personal touches to it. It is most definately a keeper!"
"Finally, after trying several recipes I found one that actualy works right for sandwiches! Thank You! This is what I will be making twice a week or more from now on!"
"This simple recipe was quick to throw together and pop into the breadmaker. It rose well and baked beautifully! This will definitely be my go-to bread recipe."

Fri Aug 19 2016 (Updated 09/11/16)The Struggle Against the Police Militarization of Urban Shield & Bulletproof Warrior
Fri Aug 19 2016 (Updated 09/11/16)Bulletproof "Shoot First, Ask Questions Later" Training Relocated to San Jose Church
UPDATE 9/9: In the early morning, protesters locked down across the entrance of the Alameda Fairgrounds, preventing passage into the Urban Shield expo. Twenty-three people were arrested.
In July, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office withdrew its sponsorship of a "Bulletproof" street survival training course for law enforcement officers after community activists questioned whether the former "Bulletproof Warrior" class should be offered by the department. Urban Shield, the controversial police militarization exposition and training, is scheduled for September 8 in Pleasanton. The Stop Urban Shield Coalition is calling for a mass demonstration on September 9.
Tue Jul 26 2016Killer Cop Training — Coming Soon to the Bay Area
Jeronimo Yanez, the officer who shot Philando Castile in his car in Minnesota, took a training course called "The Bulletproof Warrior" less than two years ago. The evidence suggests that this course, and courses similar to it, offered by a private company called Calibre Press, are even worse than Urban Shield — the organized para-military and terror response training put on for police by the Alameda Sheriff's Department. The course Yanez took is now called "BulletProof" and it's coming to San Jose this August 17 and 18.

The back to back caught-on-video police murders of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge on July 5 and Philando Castile in St. Paul on July 6 kicked off a new wave of Black Lives Matter protests across the country. The people of Baton Rouge and St. Paul have been protesting daily since the killings. Solidarity actions have been held in cities across the country and internationally. Communities have staged rallies, marches, and vigils across Northern California as well. Multiple demonstrations have been held in Oakland, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, San Jose, and Watsonville.

International Workers' Day was first declared in the late 1800's to commemorate the Haymarket affair in Chicago and as a celebration of laborers and the working classes. Around the world on May 1, workers continue to unite to press demands in the streets through marches, rallies, and direct actions. In the United States, May Day is also a day to push for immigrant rights, especially since the massive "Gran Paro Americano" general strike and marches of 2006.

Attendees at the April 14 public meeting of the Santa Clara County Water Commission's Board of Directors in Gilroy were surprised to learn that a new fee will soon be added to their groundwater bills to support the Cal WaterFix, also known as the Delta Tunnels. Several users of small private residential water systems complained bitterly about the cost of the current groundwater charges on top of the cost of pumping and maintenance of their own wells.

The California Apartment Association (CAA) has been meddling in the affairs of city after city in Northern California in an effort to stop any and all renter protections being promoted by renters, tenant activists, and their supporters. The same day that Oakland tenant activists filed a ballot initiative to strengthen renter protections called the Renters Upgrade, the CAA announced that they were keeping an eye on things, and are coming up with their own plan to counter the tenants' movement efforts.

Sun Feb 7 2016 (Updated 02/09/16)Protests at "Super Bowl City" Against Inequality, Anti-Homeless Policies & Police Killings
Super Bowl City, a corporate playground for tourists, was set up in San Francisco in late January. Before it opened, SFPD began pushing homeless people out of the area. Several protests focused on the taxpayer-financed "city". On January 30, hundreds marched for justice for Mario Woods. On February 3, hundreds of homeless advocates held another protest. On February 6, hundreds more marched to the site to protest unrelenting economic displacements. SFPD repressed all of these protests with at least one hundred cops each time.
Over 2000 protesters from many different Indian American communities joined together outside the SAP Center in San Jose on September 27 to counter Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of "Digital India" and Hindutva. They raised many issues with Modi's leadership, ranging from forced conversions to Hinduism, Internet surveillance, arrest of political bloggers, harassment of human rights activists, blind eye to rapes, dispossession of small farmers, rewriting of Indian history, and the 2002 Gujarat massacre.

September 22nd was the Pope's first day of a historic visit to the United States.

Hyatt's aggressive use of subcontractors allows it to pay poverty wages to workers.
Thu Jul 16 2015U.S. Social Forum Puts San José on the Map of Social Change
The United States Social Forum 2015 was held June 24-28 in San José. A thousand activists from hundreds of organizations worked on strategies for necessary alternatives and system change. Food Sovereignty, Living on the Edge of Silicon Valley, Taking our Health Back, Crisis of the California Water Commons, No More Deaths: Resisting Border Militarization, Cooperative Economics, and Movements Making Media were just some of the more than a hundred topics discussed.
The farm worker movement mourns the passing on June 7, 2015, of Rev. Deacon Sal Alvarez, who played a key role with Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta in the farm worker movement and on behalf of many other worthy causes over seven decades. Sal was motivated by deep faith in a movement grounded in the Catholic Church's social justice teachings and dedication to Our Lady of Guadalupe.

And I Would Have Gotten Away With It, Too, If It Wasn't For That Meddling Hurricane!!
Deanne Snowball had a sweet deal going, and we don't just mean her name.
Her dad died in 1998 (that's not the sweet part), but the Louisiana Carpenters Regional Council Pension Plan had continued to send his monthly pension checks (that is). Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Snowball cashed them.
Things proceeded smoothly until Hurricane Katrina hit and Snowball evacuated to Houston.
As the U.S. Attorney's office here puts it:
Due to the disruption caused by Hurricane Katrina, the LCRCP did not issue pension payments in Plessy's name for some months. In April 2006, Snowball sent a letter to the LCRCP administrator providing a new address for her father in Houston and requesting that her name be put on her father's subsequent checks because he had allegedly "lost his ID" during the Hurricane and she needed to help him negotiate the checks.
In response the LCRCP sent two checks - both in Plessy's name - to Snowball's Houston address. Those two checks were ultimately deposited into a Bank of America account assigned to Snowball.

The "lost his ID" ploy raised some suspicions, as did other correspondence from Snowball to the LCRCP, which conducted an investigation. That investigation found that Snowball's father, Edward Plessy, had been cashing checks from the Great Beyond, so they immediately hired a psychic to hold a seance and tell him to stop doing so.
Actually, they called the authorities. And yesterday Snowball entered a guilty plea of cashing almost $50,000 worth of checks made out to her dead father.
Sentencing is set for April.

Paging Through: Mysteries
My parents are snowbirds (when the snow flies, so do they) so they often read this column after it has run. They've recently returned to their Brookfield nest, and my mom wasted no time influencing this month's recommendations. After finishing Susan Elia MacNeal's "His Majesty's Hope" (Bantam, $15), the third in an engrossing WWII series, my mom said, "You need to recommend this and the author needs to write faster."
Maggie Hope, the series hero, has dreamed of becoming a spy ever since she was a "typist to Prime Minister Winston Churchill" and then a "maths tutor to the Princess Elizabeth" at Windsor. As the Nazis tighten their grip across Europe, Maggie gets her chance. Thanks to her secret training (including lessons from a "Glaswegian safecracker"), her keen intelligence with codes, and her "big stones" (as the Brits say), Maggie is recruited to an elite group of spies to infiltrate the offices of the Nazi hierarchy. »Read Full Article

Ohio Auto Dealers Support Anti-Tesla Bill
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
They want to stop the automaker from building new store locations
Tesla Motors just can't catch a break with this auto dealership fight as New Jersey recently banned direct sales, and now
is looking to do the same.
According to
The Detroit News
, Ohio auto dealers are supporting a bill that would stop Tesla from opening stores outside of its only two locations in Ohio.
Tesla currently has stores in Cincinnati and Columbus, where direct sales are allowed. The automaker was granted this authorization when Republican Gov. John Kasich -- through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles -- issued Tesla a license to do so.
But auto dealers believe that Tesla's direct sales model could branch out to many more locations, and eventually, other auto manufacturers could even follow suit. If this were to happen, auto dealers would be out of a job.
Ohio auto dealers took legal action against Tesla's two stores, but it didn't fall in their favor. So now, the dealerships are pushing for a new bill that would prevent Tesla from opening more locations.
"The bill would shut down our ability to grow in the Ohio market and, frankly, it's just a first step to them shutting down our existing businesses," said Tesla Vice President Diarmuid O'Connell. "This is the pattern we see in other states."
[SOURCE: The Car Connection]
According to auto dealers, they are necessary middlemen between auto manufacturers and consumers. They've insisted that their role provides fair play for consumers when it comes to warranties and service issues.
Tesla feels differently. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that auto dealerships don't do a very good job at selling specialty cars like Tesla's high-end electric vehicles (Roadster, Model S). Hence, he's looking to run his own Tesla stores around the U.S. where he believes his cars will get a fair shot at being sold.
The problem is that auto dealers don't want to sell Tesla vehicles, and they're also barring Tesla from selling its own vehicles (with the exception of online, where customers can physically touch or test drive the EVs).
It recently came to light that
Ohio Sen. Tom Patton
(R-Strongsville) backed the bill -- called Senate Bill 260 -- which aims to prevent Tesla and any other automaker from "applying for a license to sell or lease new or used motor vehicles at retail." What's interesting is that Patton received at least $42,825 between 2002 and 2013 from state and national auto dealership owners, employees, and political action committees.
Auto dealers spent $86.8 million on state election races across the U.S. between 2003 and 2012. They also spent $53.7 million on federal campaigns. Tesla, on the other hand, has spent less than $500,000 on both state and federal politics.
The deep pockets of auto dealers is what Tesla believes is the cause for the recent direct sales ban in New Jersey. Earlier this month, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's administration
proposed the new rule
, which requires a person to have a franchise agreement with an auto manufacturer in order to be granted a license to sell.
Then, last week, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission voted in favor of the ban of direct auto sales. Tesla already operates two stores in New Jersey, and had plans to open more before this new rule.
wrote his frustrations
in a blog post titled, "To the People of New Jersey" on the Tesla Motors website. Musk said Christie's "protection" of consumers is similar to that of the mafia, and even brought up the Bridgegate scandal.
