High Fiber Hemp Seed Protein Flour contains all 8 Essential Amino acids.
50% complete protein. Aids body building, brain power, regeneration of cells.
Also high in: fibre, needed minerals, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, copper, boron, iron, zinc, manganese, sulphur and contains chlorophyll.
Three times more protein than meat. Edistin protein is like the globulin of your blood. That is what makes hemp unique and super easy to utilize. We cannot currently give consumption advice as it i against legislation.
Also healthy for animals, Pure Delight Hemp Protein is 50% complete protein, which means it has all the essential amino acids. It's high protein content and high fibre are easy to digest and makes it a perfect food source for all animals. Hemp flour is the by-product after pressing the oil. Hemp seed is approximately 30% oil and 70% residue. The hard pellets or 'cake ' are then finely ground to make the flour - high in protein.
Hemp seeds are classified as a nut which means it's just another form of protein like fish, eggs, meat, etc.
It's not a supplement like soy powder which is an isolate. If you're curious about hemp foods, just look on the intenet for hemp food recipes.
Certification: grown according to organic guidelines, though not certified.

Claps for: Being the promised monster.
Slaps for: Nothing
Popcorn Refill: Not Many
The Story: An ancient radioactive monster is awake and looking for its mate. The monsters feeding on radiation send out electromagnetic waves around themselves causing havoc and destruction. Now enters the biggest giant of them, Godzilla to take charge and defeat these monsters and maintain the balance in nature. There is massive destruction during the course of these events.
Special Effects: The special effects in the movie are great and add to the narrative. Watching in 3D is preferable but not much is on offer as nothing springs out at you from the screen.
Combo on Offer: The plot depicts the gigantic monsters causing mayhem across continents destroying everything in their path. Godzilla somehow is awakened only when these monsters are active. The references to American paranoia are ironic and funny. The portrayal of devastation is of immense proportions elevating the growing sense of panic.The realisation that in spite of all efforts to save humanity, man is but a tiny particle in nature's order of affairs is haunting. The background score adds to this feeling of helplessness and urgency to take cover. Overall Godzilla is gripping and a great watch.
Our Verdict: We give Godzilla Claps for delivering every promise expected out of the trailer.

FORT WORTH – Texas Motor Speedway announced Monday night that the race track has partnered with Panasonic to create what they say is the largest high-definition video board in the world.
The board will be displayed on the backstretch of the track and will be 218 feet long, 94.6 feet wide (nearly the wing span of a 747) and will stretch nearly 12 stories in the air. It's more than 20,000 square feet.
Once completed – and race officials say it will be in time for the first NASCAR Sprint Cup weekend in April, 2014 – it will be larger than the board at Charlotte Motor Speedway (16,000 square feet) and larger than the one sitting at Reliant Stadium in Houston, which overtook the board at AT&T Stadium in Arlington recently.
The speedway has nicknamed the board "Big Hoss TV," and officials note that it will be larger than the Lincoln Memorial and nine Alamos could fit inside the screen area. It is 108 tons of HDTV, weighing more than seven elephants.

Time of Dying
'It wasn't supposed to happen this way,' Tomo thought, as she regained consciousness and became aware of her surroundings. Waking up in a hospital bed is never a good sign. 'This isn't real. Any moment I'll just wake up in my bed at home, and everything will be all right…'
Of course, she knew that was but wishful thinking, though she could not help but pray that this was not happening. Like most her age, she knew death was real, that it was final. She knew that sometimes, shit happens. But it wasn't supposed to happen to her. And never like this…
She looked around the room and saw that she was hooked to several machines, the beeping noise was in her ears, and she knew she was most likely not in the best condition of her life. Memories slowly returned.
'If only Yukari hadn't fallen asleep at the wheel, we'd all be safe and sound at Chiyo's summer home…' She then remembered what had become of Yukari, and Kagura as well. Her eyes welled up as she remembered their crushed forms, too broken and bleeding to be alive.
Had Kagura not had some prior engagement with whatever sports-related thing she was busy with, and if only Yomi had not promised to do some errands for her parents, they would have never have had to use separate vehicles. Chiyo could have rented a car that seated them all again.
Another memory made its way to the forefront of her mind.
'Yomi' … What had happened to her? She was the only one besides her that made it, so why hadn't she heard from her? Her wounds seemed far less than Tomo's, and besides, the last thing Tomo remembered was looking into Yomi's eyes before... 'Before what?' She didn't remember anything past then. Either she fell asleep or fainted, but either way it must have been Yomi who had gotten help. 'Well, then she might be in here, too.' At least, that was what she tried to convince herself. She could not shake an uneasy feeling deep within her. Wouldn't Yomi have tried to get in contact? Sh could easily imagine her friend coming into her room to tell her to get her ass up, regardless of a nurse's orders. Perhaps that was what she liked most about Yomi. They were very much alike in the way they were not people who could be easily told what o do. Tomo smiled briefly, ending when she looked at the calendar. 'No way…it couldn't be…'
The calendar was dated September 19th…They had left on vacation August 2nd. She had been in the hospital for over two weeks! 'Maybe…maybe Yomi's already ben released…and she couldn't see me because I wasn't awake…But…' She could not shake that dreadful feeling.
She slowly reached for the assist button, and became aware of intense pain. The pain did not stop her. She had to know.
Finally, she reached it, relaxed her pained body, and waited. She couldn't help but wonder the extent of her injuries. Perhaps there was even more wrong with her than just a few broken bones. But she came to the resolution that she did not care, as long as she could see Yomi again…
I will not die,
I'll wait here for you
She heard the nurse's footsteps echo in the hall, and looked up as she entered the room.
I feel alive,
When you're beside me
The nurse looked at Tomo with sad eyes.
"What? Wh--"
"If this is about Koyomi Mizuhara…
I will not die,
I'll wait here for you
"I'm sorry…Koyomi Mizuhara is dead."
In my time of dying…
Well? How was it? Did the emotional effect work as I intended? Does anyone want me to do Yomi's pov after the accident? Or is it good as it is?

A couple of months ago I bought a new bike, a mountain bike, specifically a Scott Scale 40, 2006 model (link to 2007 model). It's fantastic, absolutely fantastic. It has a very nice frame, excellent suspended Fox 32 F100RL fork and great gears from Shimano. All in all a fantastic new toy.
Throughout the years I have tried lots of different sports, I play or have played football, badminton and tennis; I have swum, kayaked, gone to the gym and I still regularly run. To me the key thing across all of these is that I have to have fun doing them. If not I just can't get myself out the door. And riding my new bike is so much fun! Don't get me wrong, it's hard (we are talking "having to stop and catch your breath and fight the urge to through up" kind of hard) but fun – that's the beauty of it.
Just to underline, I had a trip a few weeks back where I spent a couple of hours beating myself up on the bike in the forest and had my first crash, rode through my first pool of mud and almost ran in to a deer! How great is that!
And all the time I had fun and although I was in the middle of a lot of work and had my head full of too many things I totally 'forgot' it all for a couple of hours. The trip actually took place the day before I went to a potential client to present an important proposal. And finally we are closing in on the point of this post – yes there was one, right from the start – the clearing of heads.
I believe that clearing your head is one of the most important things you can do. I believe that letting everything go for a while is one of the healthiest things there is. To walk away from an obstacle when having stared at it long enough. If you have been digging in to a problem and simply can't seem to find a solution; let it go; think about something else and come back later – more times than not this will help. I now it does for me.
Now for this to work your head needs to be cleared as much as possible and right now my bike does that for me. How you do it is up to you – go clear your head!

Let's be clear, nobody needs a reason to eat chocolate + cheese.
They're like the Khloe and Lamar of reality TV! The vodka and kombucha of "healthy" drinks! The dirty Italian hipster and mullet of Europe! The skinny jeans and ballet flats of fashion! The Twitter and Facebook of social media! The Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Gosling of my dreams!
Metaphors for chocolate + cheese…I can keep going…just say the word.
But if you do need a reason – a very simple yet valid reason to craft a chocolate + cheese plate all your own – then I've got the perfect one for you: the daily grind. If it's one of "those" days where all you want to do is go home, take off your bra and face plant into your bed with a bottle of wine and watch the movie Beaches, then this Everythingtarian-crafted cheese plate is for you.
It's got my favorite cheese (it's a Wisconsin Cheese, obvs).
My favorite carb.
My 2nd favorite nut.
My favorite nut butter.
And my favorite dessert wine all on a plate built for one.
But you'll have to check out my guest post for Wisconsin Cheese Talk to get it.

Drawboring is one of is one of the simple reasons that so much antique furniture survives today, some of it as sound as the day it was made.
What is drawboring? It's a technique that greatly strengthens a mortise-and-tenon joint, transforming it from a joint that relies on glue adhesion into a joint that has a permanent and mechanical interlock. In essence, you bore a hole through both walls of your mortise. Then you bore a separate hole through the tenon, but this hole is closer to the shoulder of the tenon. Then you assemble the joint and drive a stout peg through the offset holes. The peg draws the joint tight.
Drawboring offers several advantages compared to a standard glued mortise and tenon:
• The joint will remain tight. A common problem with mortise-and-tenon joints is that the joint can open up and develop an ugly gap at the shoulder. Sometimes this is caused by the wood shrinking as it reaches equilibrium with a new environment (such as your living room with its forced-air heat). Sometimes this gap is caused by simple seasonal expansion and contraction, especially with woods that tend to move a lot, such as flat-sawn oak. The peg in a drawbored joint keeps the tenon in tension against the mortise during almost any shrinkage.
• The joint can be assembled without clamps. Drawboring is excellent for unusual clamping situations. Driving the peg through the joint closes it and clamps are generally not needed. Chairmakers use drawboring to join odd-shaped pieces at odd angles. It's also an excellent technique when your clamps aren't long enough. Or when you don't have enough clamps. Drawboring also allows you to assemble a project one piece
at a time if need be.
• The joint can be assembled without glue. There is good evidence that drawboring allowed early joiners to assemble their wares without any glue. This is handy today when you're joining resinous woods (such as teak) that resist modern glues or when you're assembling joints that will be exposed to the weather, which will allow water to get into them and destroy the adhesive.
• The joint doesn't have to be perfect. The mechanical interlock of drawboring means that your tenon's cheeks don't have to have a piston fit with your mortise's walls. In fact, you might be surprised at how sloppy the joint can be and still be tight after hundreds of years. Drawboring requires you to be careful only when fitting the tenon's shoulder against your mortised piece.
The other parts of the joint are not as important. And while I never argue against doing a good job, drawboring ensures that every joint (even the less than-perfect ones) can be tight for many lifetimes.
For this reason, I think drawboring is an excellent basic skill for beginning woodworkers.
So why has drawboring become an almost-lost art? It's a good question, and one that I cannot fully answer. I suspect that modern glues and machine-made joinery made the technique less necessary, particularly for manufactured furniture. Drawboring does require several extra steps, and the benefits of it – particularly the long-term durability of the joint – is not something that is apparent to a customer.
Another reason the technique has fallen out of favor, I suspect, is that manufacturers have stopped making drawbore pins. These tapered steel tools allow you to temporarily assemble the joint to check the fit and to ease the path that the wooden peg will later follow. You can drawbore without drawbore pins by relying on the peg (and luck) alone. But once you use a proper set of drawbore pins, you will wonder why they are not
in every tool catalog.
Fortunately, you can make your own set of drawbore pins inexpensively.
Joint Details
I have drawbored many joints during the last five years or so and have found the methods described here to be highly effective. My method is based on historical descriptions of the process from the 17th century and my own work.
The first detail to tend to is the size and location of the hole through the mortise. I have found that a 1/4″-diameter hole is good for cabinet work. For larger-scale work (workbenches, doors and windows for homes) a 3/8″-diameter hole is better because the peg is stouter. In general, place the hole 3/8″ from the opening of the mortise in furniture work and 1/2″ in larger work. Make the hole as deep as you can. Usually this requires boring it through the entire assembly, though the hole can be stopped in thick stock. The goal is to ensure that the untapered part of the peg passes into the other wall of the mortise.

While I'm sure Riad Magi is normally a sparkling oasis in the Marrakesh Medina, the character is completely diminished by the fact that they currently have almost no hot water. In fact, with the exception of the few rooms on the ground floor, there isn't even cold water! The manager explained that this was due to a heavy rain a few weeks ago, but from the looks of the torn up street and exposed piping in the front of the riad, this might be a longer-term issue. I would suggest calling before reserving to make sure that this problem has been resolved.
Other than the major water problem, the staff were very friendly, English and French widely spoken, and they were very helpful in securing airport transport. Would give it high marks otherwise!

The present invention relates to thermoforming apparatus and methods in particular, and to twin-sheet thermoforming apparatus in particular.
Conventional plastic forming methods form plastic parts against stationary or closed mold cavities. In injection molding a closed mold cavity is subjected to a uniform high static load as plastic under high pressure is injected into the mold cavity. In reaction injection molding a thermosetting plastic is injected under pressure into a closed mold cavity. Similarly, in single sheet thermoforming, uniform atmospheric pressure moves a sheet of plastic against a fixed mold.
The high pressures employed in injection and reaction molding can cause problems with mold deflections which can cause distortion in the part, opening of the mold and mold breakage. However, because the basic load is applied uniformly, these problems are usually addressed by building a stronger static mold.
In the conventional twin-sheet thermoforming process heated sheets of thermoplastic material are successively drawn into an upper mold and a lower mold. The two loaded molds are then brought together to join the two heated and formed sheets. This joining has some of the attributes of a forging operation. When the opposed molds and sheets are brought together, high local stresses are produced where the sheets interfere. The interference between the plastic sheets on the upper and lower mold halves causes the plastic to locally deform and flow. This deformation and flow affects both the welding between the upper and lower sheets and causes a displacement of excess material away from the point of interference. This flow takes high local pressures.
In a conventional twin-sheet thermoforming apparatus, the closing forces on the molds are provided by a uniform pneumatic support which supplies the necessary pressure needed to close the mold as a uniform force field provided by a uniformly inflated pneumatic bag or the like. Conventionally, an array of fire hoses is expanded with compressed air to uniformly support a metal platen to which is mounted the lower mold. The platen then applies pressure to close lower mold with the upper mold. However, the uniform applied force is reacted against highly localized stresses produced by the interference of the upper and lower plastic sheets. Thus, in operation, highly localized loads must be balanced against a uniform support provided by the platen. This requires that the mold and the platen act as a lateral beam transmitting and distributing the point loads to be reacted by the uniform applied support. Such distribution of loads, by definition, requires some deflection of the mold and platen to affect the distribution of the loads. Deflection of the mold is undesirable in that it causes distortion in the part and can result in failure of the mold to properly close.
The necessity of using the platen and the mold for distribution of loads, means that any variation in the plastic sheet thickness or sheet temperature changes the forces necessary to close the mold. These changes lead to varying deflections which in turn lead to variability in the part formed which can become a quality control problem.
Furthermore, air bags present significant maintenance problems when used in conjunction with the trying conditions of thermoforming machines. Frequent punctures of the air bags are typical, causing wasted air pressure generation costs and downtime for repair.
What is needed is a method and apparatus for closing twin sheet thermoforming molds without production of deflection in the molds or the supporting platens.
The apparatus and method of this invention supports one or both of the molds for twin-sheet thermoforming on an array of position-controlled hydraulic pistons. Once the thermoplastic sheets have been formed on the upper and the lower thermoforming molds, a controller causes the hydraulic pistons in the array to advance the molds toward one another. The controller individually instructs the advancement of each piston so that the displacement of the mold plane remains uniform. The pistons are thus supplied with hydraulic fluid to minimize or prevent deflections in the mold or platen when the upper and lower molds are closed. The array of hydraulic pistons positioned beneath the mold or the platen supplies the necessary closing force close to or directly beneath where the loads are produced by the interference of the two sheets of plastic on the opposed molds. Thus, the necessity of the mold and/or the platen to support beam loads is substantially reduced or eliminated.
The thermoforming apparatus of this invention has several advantages. The first is reduction or elimination of deflection in the molds which leads to more uniform parts of higher quality. The second is that the twin sheet thermoforming process is less sensitive to variation in sheet thickness, sheet uniformity and sheet preheating. Such decreased sensitivity to sheet variation can result in faster production cycles, an ability to vary the sheet stock within limits to produce parts of varying strength on the same molds and the production of parts of greater uniformity. Thirdly, the improved method of hydraulic support allows the construction of molds of lower strength and lower cost. The use of a hydraulic support mechanism disclosed herein also increases predictability in the design of twin sheet thermoforming molds. Because a conventional twin sheet thermoforming mold must act as a load supporting structure between the pinch points and the distributed support, and because such load support requirements are not easily calculated, conventional twin sheet thermoforming relies on experience and trial and error to determine the amount of reinforcing and deflection allowance necessary to produce an acceptable twin-sheet thermoformed part.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for preventing the deflection of twin-sheet thermoforming molds when they are used to form twin sheet thermoformed parts.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a thermoforming apparatus which is less sensitive to variations in plastic gauge and temperature.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a twin-sheet thermoforming apparatus which can utilize molds of lower rigidity.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a twin-sheet thermoforming apparatus which has a faster production cycle.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a twin-sheet thermoforming apparats which produces a twin-sheet thermoformed article of higher uniformity.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method of twin-sheet thermoforming which prevents mold deflection when the molds are closed.
Further objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is side cross-sectional view of the molding station of the twin-sheet thermoforming apparatus of this invention, with control elements shown schematically.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the apparatus of FIG. 1 taken along section line 2--2.
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the twin-sheet thermoforming apparatus of this invention.
FIG. 4 is an isometric view of the apparatus of FIG. 1.
Referring more particularly to FIGS. 1-4, wherein like numbers refer to similar parts, a twin-sheet thermoforming apparatus 20 is shown in FIG. 3. The apparatus 20 is of the rotary thermoformer type, and has a structural frame 22 which is fixed to the factory floor. A carousel 24 is center-mounted for rotary motion to the frame 22, and has four sheet-holding clamping fixtures 26 which releasably grip planar sheets of thermoplastic material. The fixtures 26 rotate individual thermoplastic sheets through the various stations of the thermoforming apparatus 20. An example of a conventional twin-sheet thermoforming apparatus with a center-mounted carousel is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,868,209, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein. Similar machines are manufactured by John Brown Inc. of Beaverton Mich.
Although the number and location of stations may vary depending on the particular part produced and production requirements, the exemplary apparatus 20, shown in FIG. 3 has four stations. Raw thermoplastic sheets are loaded onto the carousel 24 and molded parts 30 are removed at a load/unload station 28. The upper thermoplastic sheet 32 and the lower thermoplastic sheet 34 are heated at two heating stations 36. The heated thermoplastic sheets 32, 34 are then formed into a molded part 30 at a molding station 38. The load/unload station may employ manual loading and unloading techniques, or may employ robotic or other mechanized means for inserting and removing sheets. The heating stations may be of a conventional type, and preferably will have a plurality of controllable zones, for example twelve, for obtaining heating of the sheets to desired levels of plasticity at required regions.
The molding station 38, as shown in FIG. 1, provides precise control over the closure of the upper thermoforming mold 40 and the lower thermoforming mold 42 to accurately and repeatably produce parts 30. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, a rigid lower platen 44 is supported by four upright gear posts 48 on the frame 22. Each gear post is a generally cylindrical member which has gear teeth formed to face the platen 44. A hydraulic motor 51 is connected beneath the lower platen 44, and above the upper platen 66. The hydraulic motor 51 as shown in FIG. 4 has a gear box 47 which drives two cross shafts 60 which connect to right angle gear boxes 61. The right angle gear boxes 61 drive parallel shafts 63 which drive shaft gear boxes 62. The shafts 63 drive gears (not shown) within the gear boxes 62 which engage the gear posts 48. Disk brakes 65 are mounted to the parallel shafts 63 for locking the platens 44, 66. A brake may also be used in connection with the hydraulic motors to positively lock the position of the platen 44, 66.
A bearing 64 extends from each box 62 around the gear post to prevent tipping of the platen 44 with respect to the gear posts. Hence the motor 51 is operable to move the entire platen 44 vertically on the gear posts 48. The gear posts 48 terminate below the level of the closed molds, and hence do not interfere with the introduction of a sheet between the upper and lower molds. When the platen 44 has been advanced to bring a mold into a desired position, friction plates (not shown) are engaged between the platen and the gear posts to lock the platen in position.
An upper platen 66 is mounted to the frame above the lower platen 44 by a similar mechanism. Hence both platens may be positively advanced to bring the upper and lower molds into initial contact.
A rigid steel bolster plate is mounted to the lower platen 44 by an array 46 of hydraulic actuators 50 of the stepper type. The number of actuators 50 may be varied to suit the size of the apparatus and the level of pressure required, but in a preferred embodiment the array 46 consists of four rows of four actuators 50.
The stepper hydraulic actuators are preferably of the type supplied by Olsen Controls having an eight-inch bore and a two-inch stroke. The actuators are supplied with precise quantities of hydraulic fluid by hydraulic gear pumps 56. Each gear pump 56 is controlled by a controller 58. The gear pumps 56 are incremented by the controller 58 to cause a precise and repeatable advancement of the connected actuator 50.
The lower thermoforming mold 42 is locked to the bolster plate 49. Once the molds have been brought together, The actuators 50 in the array 46 are individually supplied with hydraulic fluid by the gear pumps 56. The output of the pumps 56 to each actuator is in precise increments, thus the advancement of the actuators 50 can be precisely controlled, preferably to at least one-thousandth of an inch. Each actuator is be supplied with a conventional position control sensor 52, for example an LVDT (linear variable displacement transducer), which determines the location of the actuator's piston 54 at any time. The controller 58 may be an analog device, but is preferably a digital microprocessor which receives the position data for each piston which is output by the position sensors 52.
In operation thermoplastic sheets are formed on the upper mold and the lower mold, and then the two platens are driven on the gear posts to bring the two molds together. Once together, the controller instructs the pumps to advance the actuators to uniformly bring the two mold halves together. If one portion of the combined molds is more resistant to closure, the controller will detect that adjacent actuator pistons are not being advanced sufficiently, and will halt additional hydraulic fluid to some actuators while continuing to pump in others until a consistent parallel closure of the molds to the desired point is achieved.
It should be noted that although a four station thermoforming apparatus has been disclosed, apparatus having six or more stations, including specialized cooling stations, may be used. It should be further noted that although servo-controlled actuators have been shown between the lower platen and the lower mold only, an identical array of actuators may also be provided between the upper platen and the upper mold.
It is understood that the invention is not limited to the particular construction and arrangement of parts herein illustrated and described, but embraces such modified forms thereof as come within the scope of the following claims.

Tourism in New Orleans is booming. The city hosted nearly 10 million people in 2014, the biggest year since Katrina hit. On the flip side, Katrina has caused the rental situation in New Orleans to become increasingly difficult. CNN/Money named New Orleans the 6th worst city for renters in the USA citing a 9% increase in rental costs and a 1.5% decrease in income since 2009. The Atlantic reports that more than 35% of New Orleans residents are spending 50% or more of their salaries on rent, nearly double the national average.
Perhaps the best way to make living in The Big Easy more affordable is to find a roommate in New Orleans. According to Rent Jungle, the average rent within 10 miles of New Orleans is now $1,416 per month. The most expensive neighbors to rent are Uptown, Saint Thomas and Lower Garden District. The least expensive are West Lake Forest, Little Woods and Holly Grove at nearly a third of the price of Uptown.
One of the most desirable places to live in New Orleans is the French Quarter. Tourists love to visit here, but locals love to live here. While you will find plenty of homes and apartments for rent in the French Quarter, it is also one of the more expensive places to live. This neighborhood is great for walking and biking, and most errands can be accomplished without ever leaving the area. If you love world-class entertainment, food, and nightlife, living here should be on the top of your list. Average rental rates here hover around $1,400 per month.
Next to the French Quarter is the Central Business District. A car isn't mandatory to live here because things like groceries, shopping, and restaurants are all within walking distance. While crime might be a concern for a big city, living in the Central Business district is safer than 91% of cities in Louisiana, and the crime rate is 40% lower than the national average. Expect to find a lot of higher-end apartments for rent in this area. Rental rates range for from $1,300 to $4,000 per month.
Those looking to get away from Downtown should consider Uptown. Uptown is a trendy neighborhood with Victorian-Style homes, plenty of coffee shots, and fewer tourists. Uptown's well-maintained homes, small-scale restaurants and shopping give the area a small town feel. Many daily errands can be accomplished here without the use of a car. Rental rates here average $2,300 per month.
Once you have figured out where in New Orleans you want to live, it is time to start looking for a roommate. Make yourself a list of qualities that are important to you. Things like smoking, cleanliness, pets, sleeping habits and work schedule should be on your list.
Consider asking friends and family for some roommate recommendations. They know you better than anyone, so there is a chance they might know someone that might be a good living companion for you.
Searching for a roommate online is another excellent option. While many people turn to Craigslist, it can be a bit sketchy. Thankfully there are many alternative websites dedicated to helping you find the best roommate. Roommate searching sites like roomster.com even have verified members with links to their social profiles so you can get a good idea who the person is, who their friends are and much more. Roomster has more than 56 private rooms available right now in New Orleans.
Once you narrow down your potential roommate list, you will want to meet in person before making a commitment. Choose somewhere in public to meet-up, perhaps over some Coffee and Beignets at Café Du Monde. If you are uncomfortable meeting someone on your own, bring a friend along with you even if you just want a second opinion. You may wish to meet a couple of times to make sure you are comfortable and compatible.
Once you find the right person, prepare a roommate agreement so you know what your responsibilities are. The agreement includes things like cooking, cleaning, groceries, etc. It is going to be hot living in New Orleans, so be sure to figure out how your utility bills are going to be divided up. Keep in mind that a vague roommate agreement may lead to problems later on, so be specific.
Hopefully, these tips have aided you in finding a roommate in New Orleans. New Orleans is a culturally rich city offering plenty of old world charm. With its architecture, music, cuisine and annual Mardi Gras celebration, New Orleans is truly "the most unique city in America".
Start your New Orleans roommate search today.

Get the power and cut you need with these brilliant hi-hats.
The character of Paiste's Alpha Metal Edge Hi-Hats is bright, metallic, cutting, roaring, and silvery. These hi-hat cymbals have a wide range, fairly clean mix, strong feel, and extremely quick response. Their loud attacking open sound paired with a super-strong and powerful piercing chick-sound cuts through any aggressive music in today's metal styles. The wavy bottom cymbal prevents air lock and allows a bigger sound.
Paiste Alpha cymbals were first launched in 1992. Today, the Alpha brand is synonymous with dependability, and the cymbals are well known for their first-class sound and fair prices. The Alpha Series is now available in a Brilliant Finish, once again advancing these trusted qualities.
The brilliant look of these Paiste Alpha Metal hi-hat cymbals is accomplished by skilled craftsmen who hand polish the cymbals to a mirror perfect finish in the final production stage. Prior to that, top-notch hi-tech processes give these Alpha cymbals their initial shape and strength. They are further enhanced by traditional hand-hammering.
Alpha cymbals have become very popular among professional artists, especially in rock and metal. Working with such drummers, Paiste developed new models to expand the arsenal available for players in these genres.
Alpha cymbals have developed a strong following in recent years and are today endorsed by numerous working drummers all over the world, such as Jeremy Spencer of Five Finger Death Punch, Jason Sutter with Chris Cornell, Dave Witte of Municipal Waste, Tommy Portimo of Sonata Arctica, and Steven Spence of Black Tide.

Comments about Paiste Alpha Brilliant Metal Edge Hi-Hat Pair:
I normally don't write reviews, but I felt that this hi-hat really deserved one! Very resonsive, very cutting "chick" sound and when you play with it barely open, its got a very ripping and explosive and powerful attack. Its used by two of my favorite drummers. Steven Spence from Black Tide, and Jeremy Spencer from Five Finger Death Punch! I really want to get a second one for an auxillary hi-hat. GET THIS HI-HAT, AND YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED!
Comments about Paiste Alpha Brilliant Metal Edge Hi-Hat Pair:
These are just not all that versatile, but if I played metal, I'd keep them.
I had these for a couple of days. I thought of maybe pairing the bottom with a lighter top, and that was so-so. If I were to play hard rock exclusively, I would have kept them. But since I play blues, as well, these went back.
Like all Paiste products, these are top-notch!
Alphas are great value!!!

Marijuana Concentrates Review: Live Resin at Denver Relief
Photo by Herbert Fuego
Ever land a dream assignment and get so giddy that you want to bear-hug your boss?
For the sake of my front teeth, I was smart enough to hold back on the embrace when mine told me I could review concentrates — on the week of 4/20, no less.
Maybe she was just in the holiday spirit. Whatever the reason, after a hard day's work of chilling at Civic Center Park and smoking joints with strangers on 4/20, I decided it was time to indulge in dabbing, a practice in which my feeble lungs rarely partake. According to a friend, the place to go was a familiar shop right down Broadway: Denver Relief.
Denver Relief's co-owner, Kayvan Khalatbari, has his hands in a few different jars around town: Among other ventures, he founded Sexy Pizza and helped start local laughs troupe Sexpot Comedy. I reviewed his shop's OG 18 flower last summer and gave it high marks. But I hadn't heard much about the concentrate selection until I got that recent recommendation. Because it was 4/20, all of the shatter and wax was discounted, but because it was 4/20, I wanted to take it a step further and went with live resin.
At $60 per gram, it wasn't cheap — but this holiday only comes once a year.
Denver Relief.
File photo
Different from shatter, which has similar color and texture and is also run with butane, live resin is made by extracting cannabinoids from a cryogenically frozen, freshly harvested plant. The fresh plants are frozen to preserve oils that get lost in the curing process, making a more flavorful dab with more terpenes.
Denver Relief's live resin was made from Dopium, a gassy-smelling hybrid of Chemdawg and Sour Diesel, so I expected a pungent sativa slap to the face while heating up a dab rig. A beautiful, tiny slab of hardened tree sap lay in front of me, and cracking off a dab was like chiseling an old Now and Later — and it looked just as delicious.
My first dab was the size of a BB-gun pellet and probably too overzealous. Nearly coughing up a lung distracted me from the tastes of rubber and pine, and I was way too high to try out another for at least a few hours — sixteen, to be exact, after falling asleep in front of the Netflix menu like a stoned newbie. A dab half the size of the first was much more tolerable the next day, and the jet-fuel and piney flavors came through even more. At 80 percent THC, the high this time was how it was supposed to be: extremely strong but still clean and focused.

Jeremy Deller's Acid Brass Mind Map
Thanks to Karl Scotland, Agile Methods have been a part of my working practice since the turn of the century. Test Driven Development, Continuous Integration, Refactoring and Collaboration with the Customer are fundamental to how I lead teams and write code myself.
Despite this I've found the term 'Agile' itself to be less and less useful. At it's worst it appears to be pretty much as the hilarious Half Arsed Agile Manifesto describes it.
More often than not it's a shorthand for Scrum. There is nothing wrong with Scrum of course. I've found it hugely effective for delivering certain classes of project. It also plays well with other methods and tools, something that resonates throughout Henrik Kniberg's excellent 'Lean from the Trenches'
Which kind of brings us to the point of this post and the picture of Jeremy Deller's Acid Brass Mind Map at the top of the page.
I've finally got round to reading Change By Design, Tim Brown's book on Design Thinking, having discovered it through the work of Gojko Adzic.
The more I read, the more it resonated with the things that inform and matter to me in my practice. It shares the Kanban Method's humane agenda; like Real Options and Impact Mapping it seeks to generate possibilities and alternatives. It's emphasis on collaboration and co-creation with the customer are found in Systems Thinking and XP.
All of which lead me to make my own mind map to show the methods and tools that I learn from and work with:
This is where my head's at now. The people, ideas, methods, tools and books that define how I work and what I value.

Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Amrish Puri, Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever, Saurabh Shukla
Shivaji Rao (Anil Kapoor) an ambitious TV reporter, employed for "Q TV" happens to record the perceived inaction of the Chief Minister Balraj Chauhan (Amrish Puri). When he questions about this during a live interview with Balraj, instead of a straight reply, he is challenged to assume the post of CM for a day. The challenge is not only accepted by Shivaji Rao, but also he sets an unparallel example of serving humanity and putting the corrupt behind bars, which spells doom for Balraj Chauhan, putting a full stop to his long political career. Shivaji Rao, despite his tremendous achievements in just one day, has endangered his own life and also of his family as he tries to come back to his normal life.

We stayed at the bicycle hotel for 3 nights over the bank holiday weekend. The staff are all so chilled out, let us pay the day after arriving as we'd had a long coach journey. We hired bicycles for three days which was cheap and convenient, they give you your own key to the bike garage so you can come & go as you please. The hotel is in a really nice quiet area, but still very close to everything we wanted to see.The rooms are basic but just what we needed for a short stay, continental breakfast was basic but again just what we needed and great for the price. The shared shower and toilets were very clean and in good condition. We had a fantastic time! Would definitely go back to this little hotel :-)

Traveling Safely on TriMet
Get to and from your destination safely while traveling on TriMet.
Safety tips while riding…
- Don't run across traffic to catch your bus or train. If you have to run, it's not your ride.
- Never cross the street in front of a bus unless it's stopped at a red light.
- Look both ways before crossing train tracks and always use designated crossings.
- When it's dark out, wear light-colored clothing, reflectors or lights.
- Hold on to a seat or handrail while the bus or train is in motion.
- Keep track of your belongings while you're on board, and be sure to secure your smartphone or tablet when you're near the doors.
- When you're walking, be aware of your surroundings and check for cars, buses and trains before checking your phone.
- If you see suspicious behavior or spot a suspicious package, or if there is an emergency or unsafe situation on board, tell a TriMet employee immediately or call or text 9-1-1.
Be safe at Park & Rides…
