Find the best Garages and Car Repairs in Ewell with Who Can Fix My Car.
I was very pleased with this garage and would certainly recommend and use them again. I found them to be honest and competitively priced. They were also polite, friendly and not in the least pushy. Two small problems occurred and not only were these resolved extremely promptly but l also received some money off my bill. I left them thinking l would trust them completely.
We arrived at 08.30 with our Ford c-max for a new clutch we were told it would be ready for 5pm very reasonable price as per quote and a good job done car ready on time will use this garage again thanks guys
Had car to go through Mot as had failed previously, needed two rear tyres changed and rear cluster brake lights shorting and brake pads. Car passed Mot handed over £280. Did this in January, my previous tyre had a small puncture which I had to re inflate every 2 weeks. I went on holiday for 3 weeks in April and noticed the tyre flat. So I pumped it up again and ever since I've had to do it every week now, took it back and the guy who took my money did not seem interested. I have checked the light cluster and that is still not working so obviously my car is legal. Please don't use these guys.
I had the clutch replaced at this garage and this was completed successfully as the car seems fine so far. However, I have also asked for A/C recharge and they were not able to complete the job, they have advised that the EIC condenser has a leak and needs replacement. I have been charged £20 for this job even though my AC still does not work. Was agreed with Sam that he will call me the next day to provide a quote for the condenser replacement, he did not bother to call me back at all. Also they have not re-filled the engine coolant after completing the works, had to buy new coolant on my way home. Not very professional garage overall, had to call several times to get updates for collection time and did not even get response.
very pleased with the service
Happy with the work done
Great Garage
The diagnostic found that the flywheel had to be replaced together with the clutch kit. The job was done very quickly, price was competitive and the car runs perfectly now. I will definitely use their services again.
Did everything asked at the price agreed. Very friendly and much cheaper than the £85 quoted by F1 Autocentres.
Will recommend
Took a bit long but £30.00 was a good price
Would have no hesitation in recommending the Garage to anyone in the future. Friendly and courteous staff. Reliable job.
Great service and communication. The main mechanic that i spoke with initially was very helpful and knowledgeable. When I picked up the vehicle, the female member of staff on front desk was polite/helpful and got my car out of the garage for me.
Quoted a cheap service but found extras that pushed it to £287 from £129. Kept up to date with progress but misunderstood as I thought BOTH shock absorbers would be replaced not just one. I was told they gave me two quotes for a single or double replacement but this was not the case. I was definitely told £287 "as both should be replaced for balancing purposes" which is why I thought £287 was an ok price to replace BOTH shock absorbers. Very friendly but feel I was slightly misled.
nice friendly helpfull service.
Very good service, would recommend and use garage again!
Did a great job, wonderful
Great service and would recommend to everyone.
Great service
Did a good job
Very polite and efficient service
Really good and efficient service at a good price friendly too
They guy's at Rutlish were extremely professional and polite. They were not able to fix my car as they had discovered a part needed repairing first, they gave me some links to were I could buy the parts cheaper as they informed me it would be an expensive part (my car is really old hahhahaha). I have since followed their suggestion and bought the part and will be sending my car back to them to rectify the problem. would highly recommend them for car repairs.
I had just bought a car with some issues and really needed an experienced and trustworthy mechanic to deal with it. I had the good fortune in finding one on this site. The guys down at PD Vehicle services are all first class - they are friendly helpful and very professional. The workshop is very clean and modern. I will certainly seek their services again and have already recommended them to family and friends Thanks for sorting my steering out.
Dan is very friendly guy.. the service is first class. Thank you Dan!

If it was me Id fix the vest its to big, shouldnt cover much more then the armor does below the ab plate, its pretty clean as well dirty up the flight suit a little, also looks like you have no neck in the first pic, not sure if its the pose or not, and not sure if its the flash or not but the yellows look off to bright even, this could be lighting though....and by no means does it look bad at all. These things are stuff Id like to see fixed to make it perfect really. To the everyday joe this suit is epic great job so far.
Looks good... Might wanna buy a mich pad and drop it in the dome of your bucket. You'll end up with a bit of the mandible blocking your vision, but it looks alot better from the outside.
Thanks for sharing....cool video to watch while eating breakfast!
Thanks guys! I think my thicker frame doesn't help all the issues you guys brought up. I got a full set of MICH pads in my dome, even have two different types. I never thought about the vest being too long. I trusted Ladysewforus and think it's a 95% solution. Maybe fold the bottom up inside and safety pin it?
I black misted the vest with Ultra Flat black, but not as much as I prob should. Any other tips on dirtying it up? Same with the neck seal of course. As for the yellows being to bright, I do agree. I plan on hitting it with a few more coats of flat clear coat. I used the rattle can guides for the paint, so the colors are fairly screen accurate, but not perfect. Maybe in a few months I'll pay one of the great painters here...I have an airbrush, but I'm a novice at best.

Quotes of the day
posted at 9:00 pm on January 1, 2012 by Allahpundit
"While Iowa-watchers obsess over Rick Santorum's miniature surge and Mitt Romney's late strength, there's one other candidate on an upward trajectory: Rick Perry.
"Aided by millions of dollars' worth of television ads boosting him and tearing down his rivals, the thoroughly humbled Texas governor has crept up in Iowa polling in recent weeks, improving from his crash-and-burn to reliably score in double digits…
"As the days to the caucuses wane, Perry has things other candidates would kill for: Crowds who want to meet him, ads all over the airwaves, a decent ground organization, an anti-Washington message people are hungry for, and terrific hair. The question is whether it's too little, too late, to get through the crowded pack ahead of him."
"A few months ago, who would have believed that Gov. Rick Perry would spend his last five days before the Iowa caucus running attacks on Rick Santorum? But there Perry was, in a tiny room upstairs at Doughy Joey's Peetza Joynt in Waterloo, uncorking a mini stem-winder, assaulting Santorum for his time in Washington: Santorum voted for pork barrel projects and earmarks, including a teapot museum in North Carolina and Alaska's Bridge to Nowhere. Santorum also voted—multiple times—to raise the debt ceiling. (Perry has an ad up on the air hitting Santorum on these same points.)
"It was the kind of performance that reminds you why Perry is still dangerous. He was forceful, direct, and fluid. The crowd of 100 interrupted him with applause. Both before and after the speech, he worked the room with smooth professionalism. Perry hasn't won every election he's entered since 1985 by accident."
"Aside from Iowa frontrunners Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, Perry is thought to be the only Republican candidate here with the kind of sophisticated ground game to pull off a much-needed comeback…
"As of Friday, the Texas governor had signed up 1,500 precinct leaders in Iowa, a source inside the Perry campaign told CNN…
"The Perry camp also has 470 out-of-state volunteers descending on Iowa this weekend (including Perry's own family, which flew in on Friday).
"The source said that by caucus night, 'we will easily have over 2,000 Perry volunteers' fanning out across the state knocking on doors and speaking for Perry at their voting sites."
"A flat tax. A part-time Congress. An ad that praised celebrating Christmas in schools and scorned gays in the military. A sharpened stance against abortion. And this week, Perry barnstormed Iowa with a conservative rock star, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, condemned by the Obama Justice Department for alleged civil rights abuses.
"Ever since Perry vaulted to the top of the pack upon entering the race in September — and tumbled almost as quickly in part because of a series of erratic, and sometimes downright comedic, debate performances — he's been groping for a way to get hot again. And more than any other candidate in the field, he's resorted to the kind of gimmick plays that can sometimes turn things around, but can just as easily backfire…
"Perry has pledged other seemingly Herculean feats. He vowed to balance the budget by 2020, in part by capping federal spending at 18% of gross domestic product — a cap so low that most economists have dismissed it as impossible. He told one attendee at an event in Creston that if he failed to balance the budget by then, he'd slash his own executive salary — never mind that 2020 would be the final year of a second Perry term…
"Supporter Bill Thomas, 63, of Indianola was impressed, saying Perry had overcome his debate foibles. 'Yeah, he's getting better,' Thomas said. 'It's not so much what they say; it's what they've done.'"
"Almost all the candidates had one or another of these factors working in their favor. Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker, was named the most knowledgeable, for instance, Mr. Romney the most electable, and Representative Ron Paul of Texas the most likely to reduce the size of government. Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Rick Santorum, the former senator of Pennsylvania, rated well on the attribute of relating to ordinary Iowans.
"Mr. Perry was the exception; he did not lead the field in any of the nine categories. For all his swagger, in other words, Mr. Perry is failing to stand out from the crowd. Despite spending $4.3 million in advertising, his brand has become poorly differentiated from the other Republican contenders…
"In turning his attention to Mr. Santorum and to socially conservative voters, Mr. Perry may have helped to entrench his status as a second-tier candidate, competing for a fraction of the electorate that can help a candidate to win Iowa but becomes less relevant outside of it."
"The two Iowa surveys released this week (from CNN/Time/ORC and NBC/Marist) have each shown Romney, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum in the top three. Senior Romney advisers argue, convincingly, that if those three ultimately constitute Iowa's top tier the order in which they finish won't matter much: any of those combinations would benefit Romney. The reason is that such a finish would deny an Iowa boost to Newt Gingrich or Rick Perry.
"Each man, for all of his struggles in the race, still probably has more residual potential to attract a broad coalition against Romney in other states than Paul or Santorum. But given the wounds Gingrich and Perry have accumulated (many self-inflicted), neither is likely to revive enough to present such a threat without a strong injection of momentum from Iowa. Even that might not be enough to really earn them a second look in other states, but without such a boost their odds of making a last stand against Romney could dwindle toward the microscopic…
"What's more, it's highly possible that even if Santorum finishes near the top here, the outcome will be too jumbled to convince Gingrich or Perry, and maybe even Michele Bachmann, to quit the race before making a last-stand in South Carolina. That would create what the Romney camp considers 'an ideal situation, to be blunt,' as one puts it: the possibility that several candidates to his right will continue to fragment conservative voters in New Hampshire and especially in South Carolina."
"'We have Fred Thompson to thank for McCain as the Republican nominee in 2008,' wrote Lane, who said he sees Santorum playing a similar role this time by undercutting better-funded opponents.
"Referring to the local social conservative leaders in Iowa who have endorsed the former Pennsylvania senator in recent weeks, Lane continued, 'If Santorum gets traction, we'll have Santorum (and the IA 'Family Policy Boys') to thank for Romney as the Republican nominee in '12, and the reelection of Obama on Nov. 6, 2012.'
"In an email to POLITICO, Lane elaborated: 'Right now it looks like 2008. Evangelicals, generally speaking, don't understand politics.'"
"Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry will skip New Hampshire Wednesday, hours after the nation's first presidential contest in Iowa, to campaign in South Carolina — a strong sign the Texas governor is depending on the Palmetto State to help keep him in the race…
"'Why use resources in a state where there is no fit?' said the source close to the Perry campaign, who requested anonymity because he had not been cleared to comment by Perry's national campaign. 'The effort is being made to focus and hunt where the ducks are. For Rick Perry, those ducks are clearly in South Carolina. For Mitt Romney, those ducks are clearly in New Hampshire.'"
"Two thousand twelve was supposed to be the year the Tea Party picked a Republican presidential candidate. It was supposed to be this great, historic opportunity for conservatives to finally get a nominee without compromising. But the two candidates who would probably be judged the most pure of all could be days away from seeing their campaigns ended, and the two candidates who are seen as having strayed the most from the party line over the years are leading nationally.
"Lots of factors combined to bring us to this point, but the simplest explanation is that Republicans are going for intellect — which brings with it a sense of competence — over ideology. Bush fatigue probably explains a lot of that, as does the desire to beat Obama, who is far less intellectual than he is made out to be, but who is nonetheless a sharp and nimble adversary. Republican voters seem to be seeking a nominee who is sharper than Obama and more competent than Bush, and judging both Bachmann and Perry as inadequate by both measures."

Media / Product and service news / F6 - the world's most modern Down-The-Hole Crawler rig
F6 - the world's most modern Down-The-Hole Crawler rig
Now it's time for a another new Atlas Copco crawler rig to enter the surface drilling arena the ROC F6. And this rig, with its hole range of 85-127 mm, is billed as the most modern Down-The-Hole crawler on the market.

 The ROC F6 is a sister product of the ROC F7 family which was introduced in 1996 with the slogan - Setting new standards - for hole quality, availability and total rock drilling economy. The ROC F7 has since proved its worth on worksites around the world and now the F6 DTH version is expected to add a new chapter to the success story.
The operator's seat is adjustable in every conceivable way so that it perfectly fits the operator's body, leg and arm length and weight. The seat can be swung towards the cab door, which makes stepping in and out much easier.
Among many practical details is a 12-volt DC outlet for a mobile telephone. And it goes without saying that there is a choice of climate control units to suit any climate. The operator also has a perfect view of the collaring operation, as the drilling controls are placed in the armrests and nothing obstructs the view through the main window.
The new ROC F6 cabin meets all the international and European safety standards including ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure).
The ROC F6 series other main features
Hole quality: It is recommended that the ROC F6 rigs are equipped with rock drills from the COP 32- 34 and 44 series. These rock drills have an internal power system, which permits greater power levels without increasing wear on the drill steel and hammer, thus creating the ideal balance of fast penetration and the drilling of straight, high-quality holes.
Quality holes also require a stable rig set-up and an efficient joint-breaking system. The ROC F6 has a break-out table placed in good sight for the operator. It is also moveable, which allows the operator to raise it and check the hole start from the cab.
The feed beam is oversized and ruggedly designed to reduce feed bending and twisting problems. An offset spike further ensures stability.
Operational availability: The ROC F6 has a large power reserve, resulting in less stress on the equipment. Its powerful 170 kW Mercedes V6 diesel, turbocharged and watercooled, enables optimum drilling and flushing capacity in any rock formation and hole depth. And it has a power output reserve of 15 percent or more.
The compressor is an Atlas Copco screw-type compressor XAH 140 ...........
providing an air pressure of 7-14 bar and 188 l/s. The built-in features of the ROC F6 include extraordinary manoeuvering and terrain-going qualities so important for giving more time to effective drilling. The high pulling power, the perfect balance of the rig and the wide tracks contribute to fast and safe tramming between set-ups even on the most difficult worksites.
Total Economy:
The designers of the ROC F6 series have built up a complete picture of the users' total production cycles from drilling, blasting and loading to transporting and crushing in order to produce a rig that gives overall high productivity and economy.
Photo No. 201 865
The ROC F6 cab offers a good working environment with excellent overview of the drilling operation and an extremely comfortable sitting position, which is adjustable to the operator's size and weight.
Photo No 201 864
The ROC F6 is the market's most modern Down-The-Hole crawler and is working in the hole size of 85-127 mm. The compressor is a 14 bar Atlas Copco screw type and provides 188 l/s.
COP 34 high-capacity 3.5" DTH hammer from Atlas Copco
The COP 34, a 3.5" DTH hammer is based on the same design concept being used for the company's latest 4-8" DTH hammer series. This new concept is known to give the highest drilling speed and the lowest energy cost on the market.
Designed for a working pressure of 10-25 bar, COP 34 is a high-capacity hammer. This will make it ideal for applications such as blast holes for quarrying and mining, energy holes, anchoring and foundations holes etc.
Atlas Copco's existing 3" DTH hammer, COP 32, is still considered to be the market leader within its hole dimension area and is very well suited for the pressure range 6-12 bar. However, at pressures above 12 bar and at hole dimensions over 100 mm, its application area is limited.
Comparative tests with COP 32 in Swedish granite (220 MPa) with a 100 mm drill bit have proved that COP 34, when drilling at pressures exceeding 12 bar, has a 20 percent higher drilling speed and a 15 percent higher productivity in terms of air consumption per metre drilled.
This means that the new COP 34 3.5" hammer is a complement to the Atlas Copco series of DTH hammers in the 100 mm hole range.
As standard, the COP 34 flushing device is placed at the top sub. This means that flushing can be increased without wearing the hammer periphery. This also means that the piston is solid, with only one centre flushing hole, which reduces the risk of piston damage.

The Cop 34, a 3.5" DTH hammer, is the latest addition to the Atlas Copco DTH hammer range, designed according to the company´s new high-capacity design concept.

Mountain Lion Sightings
Original post made by Angela Hey, Portola Valley: Central Portola Valley, on Jan 3, 2007
My husband, a biker, the jogger and I all saw the mountain lion as it crept up the hill.
We walked to the Alpine Inn then returned back up Alpine Road. On the way back another animal was seen - I said Miaow - and I've never seen a bobcat run so fast - it was about 15 yards from the fence in the same field where we'd seen the mountain lion.
As we were walking up Alpine we met a man who'd seen a juvenile Mountain Lion on Bear Gulch.
Another Westridge resident that I met at the gym said she'd had a deer head and ribs left in her driveway a couple of months ago.
This is the first time I'd ever seen a Mountain Lion in the wild - it didn't run away fast as I expected - instead it kept staring at us - we saw it for about 10 minutes before it disappeared over the horizon.
So be careful if you have small children or dogs - keep them in your sight.

What a moment, to have a face-to-face encounter with a mountain lion who, rather than looking away, studies you, too.
I occasionally imagine a lion watching me from the trees at night as I walk by San Francisquito Creek in Menlo Park, and how I might react if it jumped down onto Creek Drive to confront me.
(Please ... don't tell me what to do in facing a lion; I know what to do. I just like to imagine how I might feel and how that would affect what I might do in the moment.)

Very glad you broached this topic.
Last September I was hiking in Wunderlich County Park in the early morning, and found a stripped deer leg with hoof on the Alambique trail (just below The Crossroads).
On another occasion last Spring, I hiked within about 6 feet of a *very* hostile-looking bobcat on the Betsy Crowder trail in Windy Hill OSP. I'm pretty sure I caught him by surprise. Perhaps he was unable to detect my approach for some reason (e.g., nerve damage from a virus).

Sunday, Feb 4, about 2:40P, at top of Windy Hill.
Four of us had hiked up, and were looking South at the next peak down, saw something brown moving around on that peak. The head/ears were cat-like (not coyote-like), and then it jumped up and showed the long tail, so not a bobcat. After a while, it went out of sight. Shortly thereafter a coyote wandered up teh hill (after hiding from a hiker with dog), and was clearly different in appearance. We've lived here since 1990, never saw a mountain lion, and now have had two clear sightings in a month!

Saw a young mountain lion today just behind our house in the hayfields open space (top of Santa Maria just next to the water tower). It was fairly large, an obvious cat, all lion yellow, and had a bushy tail with some dark rings at the end. This is like 15 ft. from my back door. Kinda scary!

We live off alpine Rd. just east of Webb Farms. Two nites ago around midnite we heard a loud, horrible sound. Sounded like an animal was being attacked. Its moaning didn't last too long, but it felt forever. Hope to never experience that again. Very scarey.

Nice wooded course winding up the mountain bike paths then down back through the meadows. Moderate elevation changes; not as much you would expect from a ski resort course.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Walter, Apr 23, 2009.
This is good...
Well...Nobody called him a gangsta...yet. Pistons have always been about team basketball during their successful years. I'd LOVE to have Lebron on the DEtroit Pistons.
That seems like a no-brainer question doesn't it? Who wouldn't want a freak of nature athlete who is at this stage still learning some facets of the game and he's still in the top 3 players in the league (along with Kobe and Dwight Howard). Would I want to see him in a Piston's uniform -- no way, Jose! I'm all about basketball being a team game and for God's sake my favorite player on the planet is Carlos Delfino which tells you something. I hate superstars with the heat of a 1,000 Easy Bake ovens. I guess it says more about me than LeBron since he's been great for the city of Cleveland and the NBA. I just like to root for the underdog and it just doesn't seem fair that one player is way better than the rest of the team and it leads to a disharmony in the universe. I don't want Kobe or Dwight either but I would take Carlos Boozer, Chris Willcox, David Lee, Von Wafer, Pops Mensh Boshu (love his name and his game), Luke Ridenour, Earl Watson or any other second tier player over a deal that brought us LeBron James.
LeBron James is the consummate team player. He might be the most complete player since Magic Johnson. I can't buy the team argument. He's arrogant, he's goofy, he's into the star thing, ok. But not that he is not a team player. He is a guy who makes all of his teammates better. This is a 27 PPG scorer who gets criticized for not shooting the ball enough.
We may be fantasizing about what life would look like with Lebron IN a Piston's uniform but I'll bet Tayshaun fantasizes about what he would look like OUT of his Piston's uniform.
There is a good chance that we would get him If Lebron is playing at 34 and Joe is our GM. It would be a cap space move.
I really hope the second part of that statement is true......Demand a trade Tayshaun!
Artest fits our team profile and is a free agent this summer!!!
You mean Tayshaun hasn't already? I'm sure LeBron has let him take a peep at his Kingness before bending him over and...
I save this picture for [strike]LeBron[/strike] Tay to autograph. Tay to Nemo: Can I sign on his muscles please...
i'm convinced that some you guys are just hating for the sake of hating. Ours fans are developing little brother complexes. Bosh and Amare? Ya'll must be CRAZZZZY! And Lebron is just flat out better than Artest, as much as I like Artest.
I was feeling kinda bad about what I typed, but you guys are TERRIBLE!!
Yes, I would definitely take LeBron. I hate him now. But I'm confident I could get over that. If we are no longer gonna do the we-have-no-stars-but-we-dominate-you-as-a-unit-thing, then I'll be very glad to have the very best star money can buy to dominate others the way we have been dominated. I mean, even if he didn't get all the breaks he gets, he's still an unbelievable athlete with a first rate skill set. As for his jumper, I'd be surprised if that didn't come around over the next few years. As I recall, Jordan didn't really develop his jumper, spot up or fade away, until a bit further on in his career.
If anyone says no to Lebron then something is seriously wrong!!! Lebron before anyone! Although, I would settle for just about anyone that can help our team....anything is improvement
I want an original mix again. That was the most fun that fans could possibly have. A team that got no respect and shocked the league silly. I don't want Kobe or Lebron. I want a team that can beat those guys. That is the ultimate satisfaction in the NBA.
Since Tay is our starting SF, LeBron would have to come off the bench. If LBJ is okay with that, I don't have a problem signing him.
They could maybe play LeBron at the 4..........
We cant get him. If the Cavs had another 40 win season and lost in the first or second round this year then we could get him. The only reason he would come here is because we are a better team than NY or Cleveland. That is not the case anymore.
I still don't want him. Call me crazy
I don't think you are. If you can't stand someone, I can see not wanting him on your team (even if it makes them better). I think first and foremost you have to enjoy rooting for your team. That's what it's all about. No...wait...that's the hokey pokey...but, you get my drift. In fantasy sports, I've passed up much better players just to draft guys I like. Maybe it is crazy...but I don't think so.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Aquatic Delight
i;m sorry to hear that, i had high hopes she would recover.
i'm glad that you were to get a healthy replacement, i'm sure you will care for the new one very well.
good luck your moss wall.
My GH and KH comes out well within the good range for the bamboo shrimp, not sure if adding calcium would make it spike a little too high.
Well some bad news thismorning, the red one must have died in the night. I found her on the floor of the tank and had turned a milky white color. I took her back to Petco and chose a healthy one this time that I saw fanning for food (the substrate because they never feed their shrimp...). Soon as she was into my tank she was fanning away like a champ.
The other (red-brown one that I got with the red one) shrimp seems to still be doing ok. Moving around without much bother (though not quite up to strength). She's usualy hanging around the fiter outflow so I think she's eating during the night only.
In other news my moss finally arrived. I put it in my 20gal for now to let it settle in some and to make sure there's no nasties in it. Once it's settled for a few weeks I'll start making my moss background for the 55gal.
I have a couple of Petco bamboo shrimp for about 3 months now. They've both molted twice now. Before molting I notice they turn red and are either very active or go into hiding for a few days. Next day I usually find the discarded molt and they go back into hiding for a day or two.
I target feed them once a week with a either green water that I culture in mason jars, First Bites, or my own mix of crushed up food delivered by a turkey baster. When I'm feeling lazy I just dump it into the tank.
They seem to respond to the green water and First Bites with more enthusiasm. I don't think my crushed food mix is fine enough although I've seen them eat it.
I have some pathos ivy and frog floating in my tank and they are on the leaves fanning by the spray bar or upside down on the ivy leaves/frogbit feeding on the oily biofilm on the surface of the water. Sometimes when they have their fill there they go to the substrate and pick around. I've read that this is supposedly a sign of starvation but in my observations it's just another way to get food. One shrimp does like to pick more than the other.
If your using RO make sure your water contains calcium. I've read that one shrimp keeper doses a bit of reef calcium to ensure healthy molts.
|Aquatic Delight
|i hope they are continuing to do better!
Well I sat them in front of the green squash I put in but no fanning took place from either of them. The red guy is acctually doing a little better today, she's got a bit more strength today (able to get back on her feet at least) so hopefully another good sign.
My new one is doing the same thing, comes out when the lights are off and fans like crazy but is AWOL during the day. I just wanted to prove that it was the shrimp, and not me, which seems to be the case with this new one feeding perfectly normally.
Going to try spirulina target-feeding the original 2 for a few days to see if I can bring them back to strength.
|Aquatic Delight
i'm hoping that the R/O water will help pressure the injured one to molt, and repair her fans.
when i initially got mine they were shy for a few months only coming out to feed at night, and scurrying away when i would turn the light on. as they get comfortable in the tank, they will feed more and more often. i just picked up another one on thursday because she was the only one left in the tank at one of my LFS, she still is only feeding at night, and scurries away when the light goes one. which is funny because my other three bamboos and my vampire are out all day and night fanning.
oh did they ever try to eat the zucchini? or did all of your other bottom feeders eat it?
I appreciate the replies guys. Where the OP was having an issue with shrimp not getting enough food and searching the tank for it, mine are not moving around the tank looking for current or food. They just sat there, no fans deployed ever, and got progressively weaker from not trying to feed. There's deffinately enough food in the water column, as the brown one now sits under the filter outflow and fans from time to time.
Thinking I'd gotten a pair that have issues (I never saw them fan in the pet store either) I got another one recently that I knew was healthy. This one was out fanning like crazy last night under the outflow. All 4 fans and was licking them in sequence very quickly. So food isn't the issue, I just have 2 shrimp who refused to try to eat.
My spirulina arrived yesterday so I'm going to try a little spot feeding today. I may take a look for the suggested biozyme, but fear the shipping would take too long.
Read the latest post by the OP here, post #7
I don't have experience with these but I was thinking since they're filter feeders, maybe you can culture infusoria and add them to the tank once or twice a week for the shrimp to feed on?
I'm not sure there's enough microscopic life in the tank for them to survive and thrive on
|well, it's like a thread with white bits on it. decent sized strings usualy, around 2-3". I just did a water change with 20% RO water (35c per gallon at wise... never knew they had it) so hopefully that might help them a little. The brown one is fanning on and off daily now so that's deffinately good news.

Well a little good news.... the brown one is finally fanning! She's sat on the net near the filter outflow and is fanning 1 fan at a time and then licking her fan. She's gone from dark red-brown to a very light pale brown. Hopefully that's a good sign and she'll recover to full strength.
The red one is still refusing to fan thoughand dosn't seem to have the strength to hang on to anything. I have her perched in a plant in the lower end of the powerhead stream.
Looking again now, the brown one has all 4 fans out and is fanning like a champion. Deffinately a good sign. Over 2 weeks without a single fan out and now all fans to the wind.
oh i'm so glad to hear that! :-) thats great news!
you said the one with the messed up fans is pooping? is it alot? (that may be hard for you answer). my vampire shrimp will go weeks with out coming out and feeding..
|let us know how they doing later on
|Fantastic news for the brown one!

I have keep bamboo shrimp for quiet some time now...
Most of them when i get from petco will not surivive a week or more due to stress, starvation, hungry strike, and parasite ( have one that drop on the floor for no reason and found a big bump on the side fo the body)
The most I went with keeping 1 is about 2 month then it die.
I pretty much keep my recieipts for as long as the Live Guarantee is active for a month. If they die, freeze them and bring it in whenever you can.
Keeping them at 80F or above seem to make them turn Bright Red! And to my experience, they would die later. (you could say it's like cooking a lobster slowly, i could be wrong)
Your water parameter is much better than mine....LOL!!
I would suggest lowering the tempture down more to 76-78. I use to keep my tank at 80-81F but now I am keeping it at 77F. Mine haven't turn red. They are staying at their original brown/stripe color which is a good sign.
I do have a high nitrate of 10-20ppm and this guy is still fine.
After trail and error, and adding some plants to help lower the nitrate a bit, I think mine are doing fine.
Got two of them. 8 more days and one of them will reach the 1 month mark!! One came with missing two legs but have recover back.
I have small size fish in there and I feed ken's veggie and earthworm stick. The little fish eat the stick and particlue float around. The shrimp fan and eats them!
I have seen 2-3 molt since i got them.
i also keep green lace shrimp in my other tank without much current

Inspiring Students at Tech Education Conference
Students at the Massachusetts Manufacturing Technical Education Conference were inspired by the keynote address presented by Edgefactor Producer and Host Jeremy Bout.
Jeremy Bout inspires students at Massachusetts Manufacturing Technical Education Conference.
The Manufacturing Advanced Center for Workforce Innovation Collaborative (MACWIC), in partnership with the Massachusetts Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MassMEP), recently hosted a technical education conference at Worcester, Mass. Technical High School. MassMEP is an organization that helps the state's manufacturers transform and grow their organizations profitably. They have also formed a comprehensive initiative to train and build the state's machining/metalworking workforce.
At the event, 140 attendees gathered with speakers to discuss today's manufacturing challenges and were joined by more than 50 Worcester Technical High School students at Keynote Speaker Jeremy Bout's presentation. Jeremy Bout, producer and host of Edge Factor (a series that highlights the importance and excitement of modern manufacturing) spoke about the many career opportunities available to young and talented students.
Bout also spoke about his new initiative called Launchpoint, a fast-paced, high-impact 15-episode video series that will feature success stories from recent graduates offering unique insights on various educational and career pathways that students can consider as they launch their own careers in manufacturing. "For students and their parents to make manufacturing their career of choice, they need to know the incredible opportunities in front of them. We believe this new series will provide the footsteps for them to follow and the pathways to emulate for success in the manufacturing field," states Bout.
The MACWIC Technical Education Conference brings employers and industry technical resources, in addition to manufacturing, education and public leaders together to address key manufacturing workforce issues and to promote the development of workforce training programs, working with vocational-technical education within the state of Massachusetts. Partnerships are fostered with business and industry in the training and retraining of the Massachusetts workforce.

Green Lawns, Healthy Gardens are Still Possible During a Drought
Many ways to keep a beautiful property without a big water bill
GOLETA, Calif. - Even in the extreme drought declared by weather experts, you can still have a green lawn, and a healthy garden.
Landscape Architect Billy Goodnick says there are many ways to keep your property beautiful and alive without running up a big water bill.
Homeowner Nicole Strasburg in the Goleta Valley has redesigned her landscaping and worked with Goodnick on ideas that fit her property and her water budget.
"Low water, low maintenance, and interesting architectural plants," said Strasburg about her plan.
When it comes to over or under watering,Goodnick said, "people look at their garden whether it's a lawn or a shrub, and say 'oh the soil looks dry, I need to water it.' Unless they have X-Ray vision, you really don't know how moist it is down in the root zone."
He suggests a probe tool that is able to show you what the soil is like, down under.
The lawn area he tested only needs water twice a week.
He also says small lawns can be attractive, and fit your needs very well. "We have lap pools, have a lap lawn just wide enough to throw the Frisbee and the dog turns around and comes back," said Goodnick.
Drought tolerant plants only need water every three of four weeks, and they handle the hot weather well.
"All of the ornamental plants are doing well, they are thriving. A lot of them woke up during the heat wave," said Goodnick.
Once the landscaping project was done, it's been time to enjoy it without a lot of extra work.
"So we come out and putter for a couple of hours a week and that's all the gardening we do. Just pulling out some dead brown leaves. The rest of the time we're out here looking at it, and enjoy it," said Strasburg.

We, at least those of us who care, set aside November 11th to honor our veterans. Truly there is no day that is not a good day to express our gratitude to anyone who has worn a military uniform in service to this country. These heroes and heroines were there when our country needed them. They are the ones who step up prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Every vet I meet is a blessing. So I cant say it enough -- Thank you!
This Veterans Day, please join me in honoring all the men and women who have given so much to keep our nation safe.
I say 'Happy Veterans Day' but am sad when thinking of those who are no longer with us whether they occupy an 8 x 3 plot in France or died in their sleep at 84. Then I must remember that we would all be truly sad if none of them had served. Gratitude to Brian Basset for that reminder.It's not how old you are, it's how you got here.
It's been a long road and not all of it was paved.

OK...I'm on my new Mac and it is friggin confusing.
OK...I'm on my new Mac and it is friggin confusing.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
oh yeah, you can get used to macs....but as a long time PC user you are never really going to "like" the Mac, they are inferior in most ways, although it might be good for your band, for creative things like art/music etc etc.....they seem to be a bit better, or at least that's what I'm told, personally while I know how to use both I hate Mac's with a passion....they are like PC's just worse in every way....that's my opinion.
I know your daughter got it for you though so I hope I'm wrong in your case.
"PS Safari absolutely SUCKS as a browser"
I love my Mac, and they are easy to operate after awhile. They are easy to use and they work very well.
I might never go back to PC honestly, unless it's for work obviously.
And Safari does suck as a browser - I use google chrome.
Although, Safari got better with the Mountain Lion update that should come with the new Macs
I just don't understand their draw, assuming a similar price the PC will always be more powerful, the PC will generally have a better Processor, more RAM, and more storage capacity, they are also generally compatibly with more software and the ability to upgrade a PC to keep it current is something Apples/Macs just don't possess.
the only thing Mac's seem to be better at is looking prettier on a desk, which to me holds zero importance.
It's there, it's efficient, it's easy to use. It's just a weird feeling I guess
I'll give you that more virus's are targeted at PC, that's true, you need to be more aware to protect yourself, but that's only because PC's are still the standard, they are used more and they contain more sensitive information...
what you are kind of saying is that you like Apples because the aren't targeted by hackers (Viruses), well that's all well and good....until Apple becomes the more popular brand....at that point it will become the target and then you'll have to download the same antivirus software you had to download for PC's.
you know what I mean?
neither Apple or PC's are harder to crack if anything PC's are actually harder because they've been dealing with virus's longer and have better antivirus software, it's just that one is used more then the other so it's targeted more often.
In the end it comes down to people protecting themselves...even if you use an Apple you should be doing the same type of protection protocol you would for a PC, you don't notice the virus's because no one is specifically going after "you" and the fishers are going after PC's cause there are more of them, but imagine you came into possession of some important information that people are after, it's likely safer or at least just as safe on a PC as it is on an Apple.

there are plenty of "free" cleaners, you can use CCleaner and also Avast Anti Virus.....I'll give you it is a hassle, but the other option is to pay more for less quality....simply for the convince of not being a "target"....for now.

I have the same problem. Even when I straighten everything out before putting it in the dryer, it comes out all twisted. You'd think the dryer would untwist the mess from the washer. Not
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have the same problem. Even when I straighten everything out before putting it in the dryer, it comes out all twisted. You'd think the dryer would untwist the mess from the washer. Not
Hooray, my "new" 10 year old washer and dryer don't twist or knot anything. I'm having a lot more fun pre-washing and drying my fabrics.
I choose to give my life away for things that last forever
I have this problem too, I'll have to try the pillowcase method!
I have come to the conclusion that this happens! Sheets, fabric, anything flat, table cloths....screwing up!!! I live with it! Then I iron the table cloths (ah, this is good for next year again), sheets, heck I just fold them and then fabric. It gives me time that I need to just look at the material, think about what I am going to do with it, feel how nice and easy the iron flows over it and then I fold it, gently, of course, and relish the time I had relaxing, figuring out what I am going to do with it and just enjoy ironing it! My time!!!!!!! Edie
Home is where the rags of your life are turned into quilts, lemons become lemonade and a few extra pounds are simply welcomed as "more of you to love."
I am so confused. I don't know if I found a rope or lost my horse."
The accordian fold method works for me. Fold so you pin the cut edges together every 6 inches or so.
Retired teacher, loving it.
Love quilting also.
I bought those litte balls with the prongs on them. I use them in all my drying since I rarely have enough to fill the dryer. It seems to work pretty well for most things.
She took the new cloth and joined the ends together first. Some people use the machine to make a simple zig-zag seam which also helps the cut edges not to ravel. Then she folded the ends back on the main fold and started pleating the fabric in large pleats--probably at least 8 for the width of the cloth. Using large safety pins she pinned the pleats in place and tossed it into the washer. I have used that method for a while now and it really works.
I would say if your bedsheets get all twisted too, you probably want do the same thing with them or get a new washer. Most models today will not do that to sheets.
GramMER to eighteen, plus two great-granddaughters and four adopted greats soon we hope!
I have experience the same problem of twisting even with bed sheets until we began using dryer balls. The bounce around in the dryer and the sheet comes out fluffed. Can't over load with the same expectation.
I never had a problem with my agitator washer for the 33 years that I had it. Then I got a front loader. What a twisted mess. I found that if I just throw the item in, it gets twisted up. If I hold out one hand and lower the item into that hand, it will land sort of accordion pleated. Put the item carefully into the machine and things don't twist up nearly as badly. In the winter, all the long underwear and long sleeved turtle-neck T shirts used to be a mess. Now it is not so bad. I try to toss things into the machine in a "ball". With a few yards of fabric, I'm sure even that won't work. It needs to be pinned together or put into something.
I keep 4 tennis balls for the dryer only. Us e them for every cycle. Helps a lot!
Better to do something imperfectly, than nothing perfectly.
Done is better than perfect.

Black hairy tongue is a temporary, harmless oral condition that gives your tongue a dark, furry appearance. The distinct look of black hairy tongue usually results from a buildup of dead skin cells on the numerous tiny projections (papillae) on the surface of your tongue that contain taste buds. These papillae, which are longer than normal, can easily trap and be stained by tobacco, food or other substances, and bacteria or yeast.
Although black hairy tongue may look alarming, typically it doesn't cause any health problems and is usually painless. Black hairy tongue usually resolves without medical treatment.
Signs and symptoms of black hairy tongue include:
Though unattractive, black hairy tongue is usually a temporary, harmless condition.
See your doctor if:
Black hairy tongue typically results when projections on the tongue called papillae grow longer and don't shed like normal. This makes the tongue look hairy. Debris, bacteria or other organisms can collect on the papillae and result in discoloration.
The cause of black hairy tongue can't always be determined. However, potential causes include:
Here's information to help you get ready for your appointment, and to know what to expect from your doctor or dentist.

text: Hi, this is my first post. I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado Z71 with the 5.3 engine. One belt application to the best of my knowledge. I had a slight belt squeal when the vehicle was first started and would usually go away sometime after the truck warmed up. Its cold in Ohio right now. I tried to spray some belt dressing on the belt and this really made the belt squeal or whatever is wrong. Now it doesn't go away after warmed up and does increase with engine RPM's. I just applied spray last night so it might wear off and quiet down some over time. What could be wrong to make the squeal worse after the belt dressing? The belt was replaced about a year ago. I did spray the belt dressing on both sides of the belt. One other thing is that the belt noise did go away right after I applied the belt dressing but didn't take very long for it to start squealing.:neutral:

Keeping House
Towering over the rocks at the western end of Cape Cod, Wings Neck Lighthouse stands tall. Constructed in 1890 and deactivated in 1945, it remains a landmark on the Massachusetts coast. Today, the historic light has been meticulously restored and now houses overnight guests. The keeper's cottage sleeps eight, and includes a living room with stone fireplace and a crisp, white, eat-in kitchen.

Pulaski Technical College officials have announced plans to open an off-campus instructional site this fall at 8901 Kanis Road in Little Rock. Previously, the building housed Southeast College of Technology.
John E. Barnes, chairman of the Pulaski Tech Board of Trustees, said the Little Rock location would greatly assist the college in meeting the needs of its service area, which includes all of Pulaski, Saline, Lonoke and Faulkner counties.
"Accessibility is an important part of the mission of a comprehensive two-year college," Barnes said. "Right now, the classrooms and labs on our main campus in North Little Rock are filled to capacity. This additional site will enable us to meet the growing demand for our course offerings. We are excited about the opportunities we have to grow in response to the needs of the community."
Dr. Dan F. Bakke, president, said Pulaski Tech is the largest community college in the state with 7,000 students enrolled currently and an average growth rate of 15 percent annually.
Beginning in August at the Little Rock location, the college will offer both day and evening courses in areas such as business, education, English, fine arts, health sciences, history, mathematics, social sciences and developmental education.
"Several full-time faculty will be devoted to this site," Bakke said, "and we hope to continue to expand our offerings in the spring 2005 semester."
The average age of Pulaski Tech students is 28, Barnes said, adding that he hopes the new location will attract more traditional college students from nearby high schools. He said he also expects the new site to be attractive to students living in Saline County, employees of nearby healthcare institutions and students who live and work in the area.

Save Hidden Villa Summer Camp
Original post made by Heather, Los Altos, on Jun 11, 2006
For all who have survived adolescence themselves or are helping their children through this difficult time, you can realize the value of Hidden Villa's 12-day programs for teenagers. As a child, it was the only two weeks of the year where I really was able to be myself, where long lasting friendships were formed across race and class barriers, and where I began to really think about my role in creating a better world. My closest friends today are these same people, who I would never have met were it not for the magic of Hidden Villa Summer Camp.
During my experiences as a counselor, I realized my commitment and joy for working with a diverse group of at-risk youth and the importance of creating new leaders in the movement for equality and social justice. Since ending my work at camp I have worked in group homes, juvenile detention facilities, after-school programs, and now I'm a bilingual teacher in Hayward. I now send 6 of my students each year to the 2 week Residential program at camp. I watch every year how they return changed in some significant way, how in two weeks at camp they are able to get something I can't give them in a year of schooling.
The reason we've been given for the changes and cutbacks to camp are primarily financial. But I am unable to understand why no fundraising letter has been sent to the mailing list. Or why there was no mention of the financial crisis at the well attended 60 year camp reunion, which was full of people whose lives were changed by camp and would be happy to make a donation to keep its programs running.
A group of previous campers and counselors have formed the Committee to Save Hidden Villa Summer Camp. We are a group of teachers, social workers, counselors, and youth advocates who have no other agenda then the desire to see camp continue in its current form. We've been spending our nights and lunch breaks trying to get the word out, to fundraise, and to help pull together those thousands of people who know how important these 2-week sessions are. For 60 years Hidden Villa Summer Camp has brought together young people from different backgrounds and created a true multi-racial environmentally aware community that I have yet to truly see or experience in any other place. The impact that these 12 days have made on the lives of thousands of people is incalculable. It's not too late to change the Board of Directors decision and to raise the money needed for next summer. For more information please go to Web Link Together we can ensure that future generations will be touched by this special place.
Thank you,
Heather Skibbins

I would like to respond to the concerns expressed over the decision by Hidden Villa's board of trustees to put 12-day residence camps on hold for summer 2007. First I would like to point out that the moratorium on part of our summer camp (70% of the program remains intact) is just one piece of a much bigger picture. As trustees we are responsible for ALL of Hidden Villa's programs and resources, and how they fit within the overarching mission and goals of the organization. We fully understand the importance of a longer residence camp experience, and we are committed to having a youth program with a residential component.
For nearly a year we have been involved in a strategic planning process - we have been looking at our programs and goals, for the purpose of fine-tuning them to remain responsive to our constituents and relevant to our social environment. At the same time, we have been developing a sustainable business plan, so we can remain fiscally healthy and continue to serve future generations.
Although it is with great reluctance that we suspend 12-day camp sessions that serve nearly 300 youth each summer, we will still hold summer camp for 650 youngsters, and a high percentage of them will come on scholarship. Our school field trips serve 19,500 each year - more than 260 schools participate, representing diverse communities from all over the Bay Area with more than 20% of attendees on scholarship. Our in-school program at Taft School serves 300 students from the low-income, Spanish-speaking Fair Oaks district in Redwood City - a Hidden Villa teacher works with these students 3-4 days a week for 9 months. Our organic farm provides fresh produce for more than 4000 needy families in our neighboring communities of Mountain View and Los Altos. We are not abandoning the Duveneck legacy of social justice. Quite the contrary, we are working to make it an even more integral part of Hidden Villa.
We believe our programs are timely and responsive to the community. However the fact also remains that, in order to be fiscally responsible, we must trim our operating budget by $350,000. This was a difficult decision, because 80% of our budget is in personnel costs. Yes, we have made cuts to camp, but we have made cuts across the board - 60% in administration and development, and 40% in programs.
It's so easy to say "raise more money." Our development staff is already raising over $1.5 million, nearly 70% of the organization's revenue (the amount not covered by program fees), and it too has lost one full-time employee. But fund raising challenges aside, the critical issue is CHANGE. We cannot just rest on our laurels. We must make sure that we are still serving our community, that our programs remain relevant, and that we are still transforming lives. That is the true Duveneck legacy.
Our job is not only to look backwards at what we have done well, but more importantly to look forward to what we can do better.

"the critical issue is CHANGE. We cannot just rest on our laurels. We must make sure that we are still serving our community, that our programs remain relevant, and that we are still transforming lives"
With all due respect, this sounds like what someone would say in the board room of Pepsi Co. The important objective isn't corporate re-branding, its passing your message on to your community both locally and globaly. The camps make connections with young people that have a lasting and profound effect. I did two years cabin-boy, two years bluff-boy and two years Bay to Sea, and I can honestly say those were some of the best times of my young life. I would argue they are the true heart of Hidden Villa.

Story highlights
- Skyscanner teamed with 56 editors, researchers and futurists to create The Future of Travel report
- Travel agents and tour guides could be replaced with a hologram projected from a watch
- Travelers will be able to capture entire 3-D, tactile experiences, and share them with others
- Technology will get so small, Google Glass capabilities could be installed in contact lenses
Ten years from now, you could be sitting at home, feeling a little burned out.
But then an app installed in your watch (or on your contact lenses), having monitored your vital signs, analyzed your mood and scanned through your social networks, will decide it's time you took a vacation and will present you with a selection of itineraries tailored to your budget and tastes.
This is the picture painted by The Future of Travel, a report compiled at the behest of travel-booking site Skyscanner using a team of 56 editors, researchers and futurists.
Though it reads a bit like a Douglas Adams' novel, the report's predictions are based on technologies that either already exist, or are in development.
"The technologies in the above scenario are either real, being tested, or undergoing prototype development," says Martin Raymond, co-founder of The Future Laboratory, who collaborated with Skyscanner on the report.
Get (virtually) real
According to Gareth Williams, Skyscanner's CEO, in the future vacation photo albums will be replaced with immersive experience recordings. Oculus Rift, for instance, could allow users to record an African safari from their viewpoint, then share the virtual reality experience with friends back home.
"Wherever we have photos that are designed to inform you, we will ultimately also have 3-D immersive experiences," says Williams.
Other companies are getting in on the act. This year, media company 3RD Planet developed a CGI tool that through virtual reality, puts users onto the street of various cities. Williams notes that as virtual reality becomes more commonplace, travel companies will give clients virtual tours of hotels, cities and experiences.
"They'll become conventional tools for destination marketing organizations and tourist boards," he says.
Recordings will also have a tactile element. Users plugged into a virtual reality film will not only be able to see it in 3-D, they'll be able to feel the environment around them, be it the fur of a zoo animal or a sandy beach.
Disney has already created REVEL, an interface that gives tactile feedback through minute vibrations from virtual 3-D objects, while Japanese company Tachi Lab is working on technology that can convert sounds into textures.
Getting to know you
According to the report, by 2024 travel agents, tour guides and concierges could all be replaced by a virtual entity with a finely-tuned sense of your likes, which it will gather from your search history, online reviews, social media presence and various other digital interactions. This guide could live inside a piece of your clothing and come out as a hologram, and (perhaps mimicking your favorite actor) it will be able to have a conversation with you.
"It will essentially be an Artificial Intelligence device, constantly connected to the web, which has learned to intimately understand our individual preferences," says Daniel Burrus, a contributing futurist and author of Technotrends: How to Use Technology to Go Beyond Your Competition.
These digital travel buddies will not only be able to tailor suggestions to you personally, they'll be able to monitor your expressions to see if you're actually enjoying yourself and tweak their recommendations accordingly (Tech firm Affectiva is already working on an algorithm that reads human facial expressions).
"As we get smarter in the tools we build, they'll become much more focused on what your motivation is, and what the appropriate search results are," says Williams.
Wear it loud
Several experts envision Google Glass, the Sony Smartwatch and Samsung Galaxy Gear as the beginning of what will become a mass market in wearable technology (IMS Research predicts Google will ship 6.6 million units of Google Glass annually).
Furthermore, microchips are predicted to get even smaller -- the width of 15 to 20 atoms by 2017, according to Renee James, president of Intel.
This means it will be possible to implant technology in places previously deemed impossible (In the report, futurist Dr. Ian Yeoman predicts that Google Glass will move to contact lenses in five years).
The implications of this technology are perhaps the most far-reaching of all. In ten years, your clothing (and eyewear) could simultaneously translate foreign languages, both spoken and written. Furthermore, Google Glass and its various successors could likely change the future of photography.
"At the moment, souvenir photographs are exclusively taken through planning," notes Williams. By 2024, rather than setting out to take a picture, Google Glass users could record their entire vacation, then instruct their device to pull out the best images.
"Technology will probably get good at suggesting moments that you most likely want to save," he adds.

Yesterday, Instagram removed Twitter card support, which disabled the ability for Twitter to properly display Instagram photos. Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom confirmed this action and announced they plan to completely cut off embedding pictures on Twitter's website. SiliconANGLE News Desk Editor Kristen Nicole expressed uncertainty as to whether this is the best move for Instagram, but she said, "This seems to be a very specific business decision on Instagram's side."
Other social media sites, such as Facebook, Tumblr and Foursquare, have not been affected. Systrom went on stage at the LeWeb 12 Conference in France yesterday and denied that this change had anything to do with being acquired by Facebook, and at the same time, claimed that they have a good relationship with Twitter. Systrom maintained that this was a move simply to direct more traffic to their website. He also acknowledged that they have confused users, which Kristen Nicole said should have been a red flag that they should have avoided making the change altogether. She emphasized that the majority of their users are centered around mobile activity, and the decision to shift that experience is not likely in the best interest of their users. She said, "They're well aware that this shifts the consumer experience, and I think the consumer experience should be the priority here, not where Instagram wants to direct traffic."
Instagram photos can still be posted to Twitter, although it might take a few more steps to do so, and they may look off-center or cropped. Instagram users can still tweet when they post a photo, but if someone clicks on the Instagram link, they will be re-directed to Instagram's site to view it.
Kristen Nicole discussed the continuing warfare between social media companies and the impacts on the end-users. She said she hopes that ultimately, these companies recognize the need to keep things as simple as possible for their users because the user experience is only going to become more important as they battle each other. See the entire segment with Kristin Feledy and Kristen Nicole on the Morning NewsDesk Show.

The water-based, high-quality aqua-Linoprint colours contain natural binders such as gum Arabic as well as organic/inorganic pigments. They are easy to apply due to optimum open-times and result in even, sharp prints with fast drying times (wipe-resistant after approx. 15 minutes).
All colours offer maximum light fastness (4 and 5 stars) and an excellent intensity (especially black). The formulation for the colours in tubes and jars is the same. Due to its fluid consistency all aqua-Linoprint colours can easily be applied to different surfaces such as paper, felt, cardboard and suitable also for wood engraving and printing with various materials.
The smooth colours are of pleasant odour and can be overprinted with other colours. They are intermixable, ready to use and can be diluted with water.

Alice Munro Wins the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature
"A story is not like a road to follow…it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows."
Canadian writer Alice Munro has been awarded 2013's Nobel Prize in Literature. Often heralded as "one of our greatest contemporary writers of fiction," Munro is best known for her short stories which are accessible yet complex narratives about the human condition. Her best-known works include "Lives of Girls and Women" (1973), "The Love of a Good Woman" (1998) and "Runaway" (2004). A collection of her work, "Too Much Happiness: Stories," was published in 2009.
2009 is also the year in which Munro was award the coveted Man Booker International Prize for her lifetime body of work. Additionally, she has been awarded Canada's literary honor, the Scotiabank Giller Prize, twice. She might have won a third but she removed her name from the contenders in 2009 saying that "she wanted to give younger, less-established authors an opportunity."

Movie Review: The Iceman

It's almost impossible to tear your eyes away from Michael Shannon in this violent, slickly made biopic.

Director: Ariel Vromen
Rating: R
Studio: Bleiberg Entertainment / Millennium Films,
Stars: Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder, Chris Evans
It's almost impossible to tear your eyes away from Michael Shannon playing Richard Kuklinski, nicknamed "The Polack," the '50s contract killer who shot, strangled, knifed and slit the throats of somewhere between 100 and 250 people. Shannon is just about the only reason to see this violent, slickly made biopic, cowritten (with Morgan Land) and directed by Ariel Vromen, in which the brilliant actor plays a sociopath who only stops killing long enough to be a loving family guy to his two daughters and his sweet, worrying wife (Winona Ryder, still doing baby talk).
As with most of the characters, Ryder plays a woman who asks few questions about how the cold-blooded gangster earns his wads of cash. She doesn't realize that he sold bootlegged porn, thinks he dubbed Disney cartoons before trading in foreign currency. Why should she question him? She sees him taking his Catholic school–attending daughters out for a bout of roller-skating; she doesn't see him rubbing out his victims.
It won't be any surprise to fans of Take Shelter or Boardwalk Empire that Shannon is a master at playing shark-eyed, troubled souls who are really, really good at keeping secrets. That's what he does for a Gambino family crime boss (Ray Liotta) and his partner (David Schwimmer) or, later, a skeeze and fellow killer (a terrific Chris Evans) who drives a Mister Softee truck and suggests a method of storing dead bodies.
With cameos by James Franco and Stephen Dorff, among others, we keep hoping the movie will go epic, wilder, more original and complex. Too often, it feels like leftover Sidney Lumet or Martin Scorsese. But at least The Iceman puts Shannon, who may finally become a household name because of the upcoming Man of Steel, stage center where he belongs.

[1]
- This was the first Star Trek book that Ronald D. Moore ever owned. Years later, he commented, "I [...] vividly remember spotting [this book] [...] in a Weekly Reader list in 4th grade, and being amazed that anyone else even knew about 'my' show, much less that anyone would be writing books about it."

Sleep Part 2: What Sleep Deprivation Does to Your Body
In the last blog post, I talked about America's sleeping habits. Namely, that Americans only sleep about 7 hours a night, which is not enough. That kind of sleep deprivation makes people more likely to eat sugary foods, not have the energy for everyday things, miss out on family functions, not have sex, not exercise, not be as productive at work, among other things. People who slept less than 6 hours a night also were more likely to be obese. … Continue reading
