Very helpful, with a professional service at a great price, from Nat and the team, I will recommend and will be back.
Quick service
Friendly people, fitted me in quickly,
Fantastic service - MOT carried out with car picked up and dropped off at a convenient time, all from a booking made the day before and good communication through the messaging system on WhoCanFixMyCar.
Honest review! Was told at short notice that my car would be in for an extra Day! Rely heavily on my own transport. However! The cost if the work was exactly as quoted, was booked in quickly and on the day that I requested. Very responsive with communication. the collection and delivery service was important to me and at no extra charge who am I to grumble! Nice guys to speak to polite and professional. After needing a new clutch and DMF my car now feels fab to drive! And they did a better wash job than the local carwash!
Fab! Eveything went really well
Done the job next day, very polite guys, collected an brought my car back. Even had a wash! Thanks guys :)
Absolutely shocking service, promised car back after a day, car eventually returned 5 days later with half a tank of fuel missing, cigarette ash on the carpets (I have never smoked in the car) muddy footprints in the rear footwells. The old gearbox had been left in boot and had smashed the back of the seats and boot lining. The gear linkage had been zip tied in place, I can only assume the clips had been lost. The car was running very badly due to a boost hose being left loose. And to top it all the price had gone up £25 for some vague reason that couldn't be explained. If I could give 0 stars I would.
Front a rear disc's and pads. Very happy
Very good service and fast. Was dropped off and was asked if I wanted to be picked up very nice and friendly people. Will be going there again for my MOT
Great price, great service, will be using again in the future
Was well worth price was well communicated will use again and strongly recommend them
very fast, efficient and cheap! great customer service!
No waffle or BS, job done quickly and efficiently. Great friendly service and advice.
Best price in the area for an air conditioning re-gas - and expertly carried out by professionals. Will return for future repairs. Highly recommended.
Dealt with promptly and efficiently
Never contacted me, had to look elsewhere
Trust ford Bradford garage are just big rip offs. I went there they said it will be £400 to get your car fixed the engine management light . I paid them £400 . I got a 12 months warranty . After a month the engine light came on again . I again took my car to them they said this time you have to pay £597.30 to get it fixed . They didn't do a right job the first time and costed me a lot . I paid £40 to get my car back without any repairs . Just rip offs never going to ever again in my life ever

With Stealing Cars, Terrence Malick drove his secrecy on a new tip: even his stars did not right, what is the film at all. So, Marlohe told that even it as one of the main characters has received only 20 pages from the script to see. It is better you, as some high-profile Star: Michael Fassbender a Voice-Over spoke up for the movie, just to just to know that it not would be used. Similarly it was Christian Bale, who was shooting significantly less scenes, as intended: ' I have had only three to four days. In Terry's world, that means that you don't even show up in the final cut version.'
Also fans, the Malick Rotary team at ACL Festival and the fun Festival, which also take place in Austin, seen, will be disappointed: The shots were only in preparation for the actual production and will be not to see in the finished film.

Granville Island in
1922 Steps To Granville Island Then and Now Background history for
Granville Island *Granville Island used to be called the False
Creek sand bar. Sam McClay was the man who
spotted this sandbar. He was the person who wanted to develop the sandbar into an island. Sam McClay wanted to turn the sandbar
into an island, but the money for
this was no longer available after
a depression. After this happened, Harry Stevens (a Vancouver alderman) began a campaign to persuade the government to develop the sand bar into an island in 1913. This campaign was successful! The Pacific Dredging Company
was given the contract, then work was started! *The first tenants of Granville Island
worked for the logging, mining, shipping
or construction business.
*These people also made:
-Roof shingles
-Wire rope
-Boilers In 1930 most workers arrived by streetcar In 1930 the only two routes onto Granville Island were; a flight of stairs descending from the
Granville Street Bridge. The only other way to Granville Island
was by a road and rail bridges leading to
the creeks shore. In 1942 special identification cards were issued to the workers to stop saboteurs from entering it. Taylor and Bill Harvey (Barefoot Gang) inspired
marinas, studios, restaurants and an art gallery. Granville Island in 1920 First Nations First Nations people went to the sandbar to collect food First Nations people travelled there by boat. In 1930 Granville Island was known as
Industrial Island. During World War 2, Granville Island became a lifeless place. Aboriginals didn't sleep on the sandbar because
the water could cover the sandbar. Granville island was a place for victims of the bombing of Pearl Harbor to stay. People made industrial stores because it was close to the inlet so it could easily be shipped over. Restaurants and shops continued to grow attracting more people. Ocean Construction Ltd has been on Granville Island for more than 90 years. In 1889 all trees were cut down for timber. Abiotic - rocks, shells, sand, water and the sandbar.
Biotic - fish, bugs, fishermen who travel by boat, birds, clams, shellfish and oysters
(This was in the time of the sand bar) And Then Now When Granville Island
was just a Mudflat/Sandbar One of the structures that
still stands today Granville Island in 1981 Photos of what Granville Island used to look like: Fun Facts:
1. Granville Island is 38 acres of land
2. Each acre cost $600
3.Granville Island used to be a mud flat but some people called it a sand bar
4. Ron Basford became Mr.Granville island
5. Granville Island was important to the hipsters and artists of the 1970s
6. The mill town of Granville was renamed Vancouver in 1896
7. In 1889 all trees were cut down for timber Granville Island was originally one sand bar in Vancouver's False Creek, which was used by local First Nations as places to meet. In 1916, the federally-administered Vancouver Harbour Commission built a seawall around the sand bars and created 35 acres of land to be used by industry. The Vancouver Harbour Commission took property of land to tenants who built their factories and mills in post and beam structures clothe in corrugated tin. For 40 years, industry thrived on the island while the city of Vancouver grew around it. The photos we took and information
we learned after we went to Granville

We also learned that the island is artificial, and not even an island at all. Before this project, we had no idea. This project has shown us that it is possible for just a sandbar to turn into a highly successful island market. This was a fun project and we learned a lot more than we thought we would. Pond Kids Market Granville Island Brewery *First Nations people were a big part of the history of Granville Island and how it began
*On the island there were a lot of First Nations shops
and restaurants and even a place where totem poles were
carved Each house boat had their own little mailbox
at the very start of the little Sea Village Ocean Construction Ltd has been around since 1917. The concrete that is made is made out of water they scoop up from the ocean.

Body surface temperatures of jerboas (Allactaga) in uniform thermal environments
- Received:
- Citations
- 30 Downloads
Body surface temperatures of threeAllactaga elater and oneA. hotsoni were measured by infrared radiography at ambient temperatures of 1° to 42°C. In each test the radiant temperature of environmental surfaces was the same as air temperature.
At ambient temperatures of 40–42°C, the temperature of the entire body surface was close to ambient temperature. As ambient temperature was lowered toward 1°C, forehead and back temperatures became increasingly greater than ambient temperature (Fig. 3), indicating an increasing thermal flux across these parts of the body. Forehead and back temperatures were linear functions of ambient temperature below thermoneutrality and behaved as expected according to a model of thermal exchange developed here. The surface temperature of the extraordinarily large pinnae remained close to ambient temperature down to 10°C (Fig. 3), indicating that deep pinna temperature likely falls with decreasing ambient temperature and that the pinnae, despite their size, are not major sites of heat loss at low ambient temperatures.

Following repeated discoveries of northern snakeheads (Channa argus) in Maryland waterways, that state's Department of Natural Resources introduced a draft regulation this week that make owning the fish illegal. As reported in the Virginian-Pilot, the DNR is painting with a broad brush, proposing to ban 29 different species of snakehead. The Maryland Association of Pet Industries points out that few people own northern snakeheads, and many of the listed species require tropical conditions for survival.

MOSCOW – Not quite halfway through Russia's nine-day New Year's break (yes, nine days), the Kremlin announced on its Web site Thursday that President Vladimir Putin had granted Russian citizenship to the French actor Gerard Depardieu.
The hefty 64-year-old has vowed to give up his French passport over high taxes. He told friends in December, according to Le Monde, that he was considering a Belgian, Montenegrin or Russian substitute. In a December press conference, Putin said, in a seemingly light-hearted vein, that he'd be welcome in Russia.
Since then, though, it has been reported that Depardieu has bought a house in Belgium, just over the border from France, so Putin's move Thursday came as something of a surprise.
Depardieu is no stranger to Russia. He appeared in a recent ad for a Russian bank, and in 2011, he was on location in Archangel for a French TV film in which he played Grigory Rasputin, the mad monk of pre-Soviet fame.
Just this past November he showed up in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, as a guest of the Russian region's satrap, Ramzan Kadyrov, who was celebrating a birthday. Kadyrov has ruthlessly eliminated his opposition over the years since his own father, who preceded him in office, was assassinated.
A video shows Depardieu shouting on stage, in accented Russian, "Glory to Grozny! Glory to Chechnya! Glory to Kadyrov!"
The actor has also taken part in a recently released duet with the daughter of Islam Karimov, the president of Russia's Central Asian neighbor, Uzbekistan. Karimov was once accused by a former British ambassador of boiling one of his enemies to death. The duet is entitled, "Soundless is the Sky."

We offer you Home Power Monitoring Systems suitable for :
This page explains the basics of home energy monitoring and will steer you towards the correct solution for your home.
Making The Correct Choice For Your Home Power Monitoring
Remember if you choose your electricity monitoring system with an educated mind, you will get the most out of your system and start making electricity savings quicker!
All of our home electricity monitoring solutions work in a similar manner, having slightly different features and benefits.
We offer you Electricity Monitoring Solutions to get your home, business and solar electricity data:
In Your Face : On Your ComputerOn Your Mobile Device
"Before getting a home power monitor installed our electricity bills were up around the $1100 mark per quarter! Now after paying attention to our power usage via the monitor, we have managed to get them down to between $700 to $800. Now that is a big saving. Thank you Aussie Home Energy....."
HELP From The Experts
We have been testing, configuring, benchmarking and supplying power monitoring solutions, to a large selection of householders and small business owners in Australia since 2010.
Our Promise To You
What makes us different is this, we do not just sell electricity monitors. We sell electricity monitoring solutions! We will not sell you a power monitoring solution unless we are 110% sure, it will meet your monitoring needs. That is why we make sure we have as much information as possible, before we decide to help you!
And successful monitoring solutions time and time again is the reason why our clients recommend our business time and time again. See our TESTIMONIALS page, to hear what they are saying.
A Few Basic Requirements Before Making Your Choice
Like any new technology there are a few basic understandings / requirements that will steer you towards the correct choice of a suitable power monitoring solution for your home. Such as:
Is Your Incoming Power Single Or Three Phase?
Single Phase OR Three Phase : A home in Australia normally operates off a single phase supply, but can be alternatively connected to a three phase supply. An easy way to find out how you are connected, is to count the number of large fuses sited within your power box. Why not send us a picture? Click on the image to enlarge.
Depending on the number of phases you will require either one or three current cable clamps for the total household consumption transmitter. If you are connected to three phase, then often large appliances such as air conditioning are also three phase.
How Many Circuits / Appliances Do You Want To Monitor?
Power Box Circuit Monitoring : Are you looking to monitor the total power for your home, or certain circuits / appliances? Circuits are normally switched on / off from inside a power box outside of your home, or even a distribution board within your home and are monitored from here. Appliances are switched at the wall and monitored by using a 10A wall socket transmitter.
For a home with a solar pv system you would need a power monitoring system supporting two channels / transmitters. One for your solar the other for your consumption circuits.
Power box transmitters send wireless data to either an LCD Energy Monitor / online HUB [sited next to your modem / router]. The HUB transmitting data to an online free Energy Monitoring Dashboard.
10A Wall Socket Monitoring : Specific appliances or power block collectives within the home can also be monitored using a 10A plug-in wall socket transmitter. Transmitting data by the same wireless connection.
All of our electricity monitoring solutions use similar hardware for the collection of the energy data.
Common Circuits / Appliances Monitored : Total Consumption : Solar : Heat PumpTenant : Air Conditioner : Workshop : Freezer
Do You Want To Monitor Temperature, Light & Motion?
Monitoring Temperature Light & Motion : Ever thought of monitoring the temperature of the room when monitoring your air conditioner?
What about the temperature of your wine cellar? Well now this is all possible, allowing you to analyse correct operation. Our MONITORING SYSTEM #2 LCD Monitor #1 also monitors humidity.
Visit our MONITORING SYSTEM #3 page to learn more about temperature, light and motion monitoring.
Where Do You Want To See The Data?
This is really important as the data can be seen:
Sending Data Online For Analysis : The energy data received by any LCD monitor or HUB is often converted into cost / kilowatt-hour readings. The kWh being the standard unit your electricity retailer uses to charge you. Data is easily uploaded to specialist online energy monitoring dashboards for analysis with easy access from anywhere.
Added features with an online electricity monitoring dashboard are email alerts and mobile apps that assist to further create action in real-time based on cost / usage events.
Easily get your total electricity consumption or solar power online for ONLY $169.95
Single Channel LCD Energy Monitor Display : Remember online HUBS allow for more transmitters / channels, seen via an energy monitoring dashboard. Current LCD monitors ONLY support one channel. The only multi-channel LCD monitor was for is the MONITORING SYSTEM #1 which has now beed discontinued in favour of online dashboards and mobile apps, which are easily adjusted almost overnight.
An LCD monitor will show in most cases the consumption or solar. To see another channel of data you simply add another LCD Energy Monitor with transmitter and clamp. Or a HUB instead of the extra LCD Energy Monitor to see up to five channels.
In Home Usage & Cost Awareness : The best tool for this task is by no doubts an LCD Energy Monitor for consumption only or mobile applications showing solar, consumption, import and export. When you get real-time awareness of electricity consumption and solar power generation, this creates an instant readout for everyone to see and act upon.
Easily get your total electricity consumption or solar power on an LCD monitor for ONLY $129.95
What Data Do You Want To See Or Analyse?
Using An LCD Monitor : Displayed on your Power Monitor LCD are:
Using PC / MAC Software : Using software with your LCD Energy Monitor will allow for real-time power costs and usage along with the analysis of historical data. Most applications can download the monitor's data in a minute or so without the need of a PC being on 24/7. This data is then displayed in graphical or tabular format for analysis.
Do You Want The Power Monitor To Be Portable
This is really important during the setting up of any energy monitoring system, as it allows you to be outside one minute and inside the next, whilst making the necessary power connections and checking connectivity to any computer or online electricity monitoring website.
A portable electricity monitor is the ideal tool for simple 'walk around your home' DIY ELECTRICITY AUDIT

text: Gloria was a mistress to the older Harold Bunsen. When she escaped hell Gloria had the ability to become a swarm of bugs. It is revealed that she killed Harold's wife in the 1970s so that they could be together. The coorilation between her ability to become a swarm of bugs is that Harold's wife was found in a compost heap covered with bugs. She returns from Hell to continue laying vengeance on any woman who she believed to be getting between her and Harold even those that merely speak with Harold. Harold admits, right before Sam captures her, that he was never in love with her but was just "in it for the sex" and only stayed with her after he realised that she had killed his wife out of fear. Upon hearing that he was "in it for the sex" Gloria in an enraged state says "I went to hell for you, bugs devoured me every day." Her anger was great enough that it caused her to focus on him and not Sock who she held as a hostage. Sam sticks a coat hanger into the toaster vessel causing it to spark uncontrollably thereby capturing using the mechanics of a bug zapper.

Placement Challenges: Hey You, Get Off of My Cloud!
This is the second post in this series. View the first one here.
A placement challenge that I had to endure reminds me of the Rolling Stones song, 'Get Off of My Cloud.' I imagine that many of you still endure a similar challenge today…
I was placing a design that I knew was going to take weeks to complete, after reviewing the schematic, I contacted the engineer with a list of concerns. I asked for some written instructions and a possible floor plan based on the mechanical chassis requirements. Here is what I received back: "I will come and sit with you during placement so we can get it right." Ugh! These are the words no PCB designer wants to hear. They are the death knell to productivity. But I had no choice.
And so, for the next three weeks, I sat in a small office with another design colleague and this engineer who, by the way, was a guy who ate way too much garlic and was always sweating. It was a living hell!
Why can't engineers write good instructions for placing a PCB? Why must they thrust themselves into the design, when they have signal integrity stuff to worry about? In the past, without creating a document in a word processor, there was no real way to specify design intent through the EDA tools. Plus, as the capabilities of adding constraints to a design have become available, they have stuck to their old ways.
Leaning over a PCB designers shoulder ties us up in addition to engineering resources, and requires so much more time than providing good instructions – or any instructions!
We need a tool that allows the engineer to easily add constraints, and even design placement intent, such that the PCB designer will understand component grouping and critical placement locations…without the need to have the engineer babysit the design. That time has come! Xpedition xPCB layout now has the ability, through component explorer, to aid in planning and placement from the onset of the schematic design through to completion of the PCB design.
Take a look at the link below on component planning and placement with component explorer. In our next discussion we will talk about how to tell your engineer, "Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd, on my cloud baby!"

Hello Vern.
It's all about agreement between PCB designers and EE. It's good idea to work out everything from the beginning, otherwise EE have some comments after the fact as PCB is already done. It's a worst case scenario…
About myself, I send EE the Floor Plan Placement and ask them to review. The next step I will work on Detail Placement and ask EE to review again. Then I start the routing. After routing, I do one more final review with EE and release to manufacture.

Expedition has been a leader in the area of concurrency for PCB for years. Component explorer brings concurrency with ease of use to a new level! There's no way you can't convince the circuit designer that their participation in placement organization for the layout designer will not bring enormous productivety gains. It's truly point and click.

It's been a busy week in the fast-moving cloud computing industry with major news announcements from Dell, EMC and VMware dominating many of the headlines, but some other interesting tidbits in the cloud market came out this week that are worth noting.
To review what's already been covered: This week we wrote about how vendors like Dell and EMC got giddy over converged infrastructure and VMware announcing a grand new hybrid cloud computing strategy that CEO Pat Gelsinger has dubbed "one cloud, any app, any device." VMware announced new releases of vSphere and vSAN - it's compute and storage virtualization software packages - integrations of NSX networking software with its vCloudAir public cloud platform, an OpenStack add-on for vSphere and a partnership with Google's Cloud Platform. Read our analysis of what this all means here.
+ MORE AT NETWORK WORLD: Red Hat's fighting words for VMware: Your hybrid cloud strategy is "flawed." +
There were some other noteworthy items this week though too. Including:
-MongoDB's beefed up new database
MongoDB is one of the darlings of the budding NoSQL database market (read about the growth of NoSQL DBs here), and it has a brand new major 3.0 release out that includes a variety of advancements such as a new storage engine named WiredTiger that the company says will be the basis for its storage for the next two decades. Along with WiredTiger come a catalog of compression algorithims that allow users to reduce their storage footprint for the DB by up to 80%. New performance inreases allow write-intensive applications to hum along with the DB not skipping a beat. And for enterprise specifically, there is a new OpsManager portal.
"MongoDB 3.0 is a landmark release," CTO and co-founder of MongoDB Eliot Horowitz wrote (read the full release notes here). "It brings comprehensive improvements in performance, flexibility, ease of management, and cost to operate. MongoDB has always made it fast and easy to iterate -- from prototype to production to maturity, keeping pace in the most agile environments."
-Get a room: Marriott signs IBM cloud deal
IBM has been on a roll recently with its cloud, inking deals with major enterprise clients such as eBay Enterprise. This week it announced another win, this time with the Marriott hotel brand. Marriott is expected to migrate a "significant portion" of its core IT systems and applications to IBM's cloud over the next few years, plus IBM will provide a "managed devops service" and Marriott will use IBM analytics software named Big Insights. There are rumors of another major retailer that IBM will announce as a customer win next week too.
-PaaS/IaaS convergence: Piston and ActiveState partner
Both of these cloud companies are relatively small, but they play in important industries. Piston built a private IaaS cloud platform from OpenStack named CloudOS , while ActiveState has a PaaS offering named Stackato based on the Cloud Foundry and Docker open source projects. The two are teaming up to provide customers a IaaS/PaaS offering that will stand up an OpenStack cloud for scale-out virtual machines and storage, combined with a run-time environment for developing and hosting applications. The move reflects two companies joining forces to take on a fast-moving market dominated by larger vendors, while continuing the trend of the IaaS and PaaS functionality blending together.

For the second year in a row, Guinness has created a "Friendliest Day of the Year" Facebook app to celebrate St Patrick's Day (this Saturday, BTW).
In 2011, Guinness was a trailblazer in digital marketing by utilizing augmented reality approximately seven months before it became cool to do so. They created a 3D "virtual pint" that you could produce after printing a "beer mat" AR marker and pointing your webcam at it.
I had big hopes for Guinness this St Patrick's Day, but sadly, this year's entry is much, much less creative.
For 2012, Guinness is going for a record for the world's biggest party. To do so, the Irish brewer is asking its Facebook friends to use its app and pledge to celebrate St Patrick's Day with them. That's pretty much all there is to the app.
The pledge app displays a ticker that counts up the number of pledges made. Once you pledge, you can share with your friends that you pledged and/or you can sign up for a Guinness newsletter. You can also download and print up an official certificate of participation from the app (on which you will have to write your name on an actual dotted line).
Strangely, you have to authorize the app twice and enter a captcha to make a pledge. No doubt, this is due to the fact that there are Facebook users under the legal drinking age, but still a bit much.
Try it out. I'd love to hear what you all think about the app. Maybe I am missing something. It certainly wouldn't be the first time….

Doris Ray began writing The Ghosts Behind Him in 1994 shortly after her son's trial on a charge of second degree murder from which he was acquitted because of his chronic mental disorder (schizophrenia.) Her son Bruce was detained for 4 1/2 years at the Forensic Psychiatric Institute in Port Coquitlam until he was deemed well enough to be released on a conditional discharge by the BC Review Board. "I equated the task of writing the book to that of having a long, painful surgery but am proud of the impact it has had on many of those who have read it. I believe it is important, for young people especially, to acquaint themselves with the symptoms of mental illness and learn how it can affect family members and in fact entire communities."
Doris Ray is a mother of four and a grandmother of five who lives in Fraser Lake in west-central British Columbia. She is an active member in the Historical Society, the Writing Group and Library Board. She has published articles on mental health, travel and local history. In 1974 she began writing a humour column entitled "Sense and Nonsense" in a local newspaper. Some of the poems from these columns were included in The Pumpkin Eaters. As a member of The Fraser Lake and District Historical Society she helped research and compile archival information, photographs and recollections for our local history book entitled Deeper Roots and Greener Valleys. The book was published in 1984. As a member of Fraser Lake Writers Group she assisted with the publications of Seasonings, a volume of poetry by local writers, and "Laugh Lines" which included humourous submissions from all over the B.C. Interior. Her short fiction in The Boy on the Road and a poetry collection entitled In Search of Wild Onions express her affection for the pioneer spirit of the people and wilderness of the B.C. Central Interior. "Upon reaching my retirement age I am presently in the throes of researching the secret life of my grandmother who immigrated to Vancouver from England in 1911 and one year later married a gentleman from China. The marriage broke up after the third daughter was born and no one knows what happened to the husband. My grandmother managed to erase from her past all connections to her first marriage and-after securing them in a Victoria orphanage--even to her children."

The Ghosts Behind Him (Caitlin $16.95)
At 21, Bruce Ray attempted to jump through a window of his upstairs apartment. His landlady and other tenants found him wearing only a t-shirt. "You are all going to die," he told them. "By spontaneous combustion."
Doris Ray's The Ghosts Behind Him (Caitlin $16.95) is a mother's memoir of her son's subsequent battle with schizophrenia from 1984 to the present. It is a story of heartbreak and hope, but mostly the former.
Hospitalization. Group homes. Multi-vitamin therapy. Delusions. Anti-psychotic drugs. Paranoia. And a horrible descent into violence. It's the stuff of a family nightmare that is all too real for many of the 40,000 British Columbians whose lives are directly affected by the disease.
"You are damned," said the bad voices in Bruce Ray's head in 1993, "We will make you kill someone whether you want to or not." When he alerted a caregiver to his rising panic, he was given an anti-anxiety pill (chlorpromazine) that made him feel worse. Bruce got himself sent to Nanaimo General Hospital.
The psychiatrist at the hospital was prepared to admit him but there were no empty beds in the psychiatric ward. The caretaker from the Christian group home arrived at the hospital and returned Bruce to the Nanaimo Care Unit where Bruce tried to slash his wrist in the bathroom.
"The knives, the sharp knives," the voices called. Forty minutes after being discharged from the hospital, Bruce Ray stealthily approached a young man sitting watching television. He leaned forward and plunged a knife into the man's upper abdomen. The victim of the attack died later that evening.
Doris Ray is a home-support worker in Fraser Lake who also writes a humour column for her local paper. Her wrenching tale of confusion and compassion is an attempt to dispel some of society's bafflement with schizophrenia. 0-920576-77-X
Common Threads
In the fall of 1998, Doris Ray received a phone call relaying some previously unknown and intriguing information concerning her mother's history. Her book Common Threads (Libros Libertad, 2010) is based upon bits and pieces of archival data and personal reminiscences, combined with conjecture on the part of the author.
According to promotional material: In the fall of 1911 twenty-year-old Nell Baines, her sister Madeline, and brothers Bert and George Junior board a passenger liner leaving Southhampton, England, for the far-off colony of the British Empire that was Canada. Madeline's Canadian fiancé, Hugh Maclean, had recently obtained employment as "Assistant to the Superintendent of Chinese Immigration" - a government bureaucracy set up in the city of Vancouver to curtail the number of Chinese immigrants. A 500-dollar Head Tax had been imposed on every applicant from China. But in the minds of many Canadian citizens, including politicians, there should be nothing less than a total ban on all Chinese immigration.
Nell soon learns that the "Land of Opportunity" is not as gainfully promising as had been acclaimed. The lonely, unemployed Englishwoman becomes acquainted with a handsome, charismatic man, originally from Hoi Ping, China. Unforeseen circumstances evolve, causing the budding friendship to develop into a romance - with Stanley Park being the wilderness backdrop. Nell is five months pregnant when she marries the father of her baby. But her husband becomes mentally unstable and the marriage breaks up after the birth of their third daughter. During the war years (WW1) Nell suffers from espousal abuse, racial bigotry, a younger brother's death on the battlefield and her own near fatal battle with influenza. Her mother in England refuses to receive her and her children back into the family. Nell eventually finds it necessary to erase from her past, all connections to her biracial marriage.

14 Foods With The Highest Pesticide Residue
Eating unprocessed foods doesn't guarantee good health. Most fresh and frozen foods contain pesticide residue. And research has linked pesticides found in foods to diseases like cancer, infertility and other health problems.The best way to avoid these side effects is to buy organic. Eating these foods frequently can do your body more harm than good. Here's a list of foods with highest pesticide residue according to environmental working group (EWG).
France Is the First Country to Ban All Plastic Dishware
France leads the way by being the first country to initiate a widespread ban on plastic dishware. This is the country's most recent effort to reduce pollution and be more environmental friendly. France will ban the sales of single-use plastic plates and cups unless the products are made of bio-sourced materials that can be composted in a domestic composting unit.

In this video – you'll discover what conventionally-trained physicians never learn about the power of vitamin C and its ability to kill every virus known to man. There's no good reason why anyone should suffer from inflammation and lifestyle related health problems.

The feeling of powerlessness in a world of corruption
I often wonder, when I am watching the news, or a documentary, what can I do to end all this misery? When again bombs are thrown, when people blow themselves up and take others with them, when refugees drown, or wash ashore, saved or to be left to their own fate, with little help moving forward, then I ask myself, what can I do?
Men suffering from anxiety are more likely to die of cancer
Men approaching middle age and who are hampered with chronic generalized anxiety disorder are more than two times as likely to succumb to cancer than men who don't have that problem, according to new research. The same research study, however, did not find an increased risk of cancer death among women who suffer from severe anxiety. The study's findings were presented recently at the European College of Neuropsychophmarcology's Congress in Vienna, Austria. The study was the largest ever to examine the tie between cancer and anxiety, having tracked 15,938 British subjects over 40 years of age for 15 years.

Our engagement feature today was shot in two majestic settings, on top of rolling hills and by an architecturally beautiful structure. Both are unique in the sense that they were made in different ways, one man-made and the other not. But both are similar for having that towering beauty over man that makes for such amazing photographs. And as much as these backdrops are lovely, the main focus of everything falls on our couple who has shown beauty and chemistry that the beauty of the mountain and the building were overtaken. There's no denying that men look miniscule compared to a lot of things, but our ability to love and to be dynamic, makes us the more interesting element.
Congratulations Hannah & Brandon!

Black And White Engagement Cake
I wish I knew who to give credit for this design. The client wanted me to replicate a cake from a picture she sent me. Of course it wasn't exact, I just used it for inspiration. I thought i would also make some mini cupcakes for her for something a bit more special. Top is white choc mudcake, bottom is choc mudcake. Cupcakes are vanilla with white choc buttercream. This is my first buttercream covered cake :) Enjoy!

"Instructor was exceptional. Great experience."
"The only issue I had was trying to book my lesson online. I called and the young lady was great and took care of my experience. The flight school was great. Instructor was a very nice young man and made me feel very comfortable with the experience. Their planes look to be very well-maintained. It was a great experience!"
"For flying a plane, it couldn't get any better. This is not fighter pilot experience but regular flying. But my instructor was very knowledgeable and made sure that I had a hands-on experience. I liked the fact that he would guide me, and I did it with no assistance. I enjoyed the experience, and if you want to fly, it's highly recommended. It was a total hands-on experience, where you are the pilot, flying with a co-pilot. As soon as we climbed aboard I was in control, which was nice."

As first reported by the Wall Street Journal, Tiger Woods' new ad for Nike is all set to be broadcast, so it's virtually certain we'll see it plenty during the Masters.
One advertising man is down on the Swoosh-clad Woods staring silently into the camera while you hear the voice of his late father Earl.
The spot is "creepy," says Ernest Lupinacci, a former creative director for Nike advertising. Still, Nike's decision to stand by Woods will prove to be "a very smart, strategic move," he predicts. "The spot... will inspire conversation and debate."
Meantime, late-night comic Jimmy Kimmel lampooned the commercial by showing a mock version with Woods' mother Kultida Woods yelling at him.
Check out Tiger's new ad, then tell us what you think.

|Phil Cousineau ; foreword by Stephen Larsen.
"Once and Future Myths shows you how myths - whether you are conscious of them or not - are the stories of your life and encourages you to explore whether you are living the myths or whether they are living you." "By becoming aware of the mythology of creativity, time, mentorship, travel, cities, and sports, in both their historical and present forms, you can come to know the world better. And it is through this understanding that you will see the origins of your own drive for work, love, home, creativity, and spirituality."--Jacket.

Here's a story about a topic we discussed recently — the difference between Maw-Maw and Mama.
Marsha Reichle says, "My friend Jerelyn Mouch (aka Bibbi), has a new, adorable Yorkie puppy, "Bibby's Beaudacious Boy" (aka Beau).
"He seems a tad slow to adapt to her training, but he is otherwise cheerful, charming, and all-around too precious.
"Jerelyn says her neighbor observed her semi-stern 'No' discipline technique and immediately diagnosed her problem:
"'You're using your Grandma voice. You should be using your Mama voice.'"
In Murphy we trust
Jean Byers says, "When I was in the first grade, I am told that I was in awe of the principal, Mr. Murphy, to the point that in reciting the 23rd Psalm, I ended with "…surely good Mr. Murphy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in his house forever."
"We lived in a small town, and it was not unusual to see Mr. Murphy in church as well as school, the grocery store or the neighborhood.
"I suppose I thought that he was an omnipotent presence in my life and would remain so for a lifetime. I could not have been in better hands. He was loved by everyone!"
The great cover-up
Dudley Lehew says Maw-Maw Betty's story about her granddaughter's introduction to her dad's gentlemen's magazine "reminded me of when I lived in Boston in the '60s, and my wife decided she would give me a birthday present of a subscription to Playboy. (She knew I liked to read the articles. … )
"When the first issue arrived, I opened it (to read the articles. … ) and discovered that my oldest daughter, Lisa, then 9, already had gotten to the magazine — and used her crayons to draw clothes on all the models!
"But, of course, I still read the articles. …"
Desiring Jax
Carole Cross says for its production of "A Streetcar Named Desire," Baton Rouge Little Theater needs to borrow empty Jax beer bottles.

Do you speak math?
In its third year offering free tutoring to middle and high school students, Broadmoor Presbyterian Church finds that basic math is in high demand among sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders looking for help.
"We can use people who are adept at just basic math," says Mike Zobrist.
Tutoring is Tuesday and Thursday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Naylor Building, 9340 Florida Blvd.
First-time students must arrive 10 minutes early, accompanied by an adult to register.

Confederate dad
Reed Chenevert of Marksville sends over an article from the local paper about a lady whose father fought in the Civil War with the Confederacy.
Sybil Dubroc Lamartiniere Bordelon, 95, is the daughter of St. James "Sam" Dubroc, who enlisted in a Louisiana volunteer infantry unit in 1862, when he was 20.
At age 55 and a widower, he married Sybil's mother, 17, and they had nine children. Sybil was born in 1915.
Her dad died in 1921 at the age of 79.
Sybil is said to be one of only 107 children of Confederate veterans still living in the United States.

For Roland
Joe Guilbeau of Plaquemine submits this atrocious story in honor of the late Roland Daigre, a Plaquemine native who was this column's top punster and shaggy-dog storyteller for many years:
"A hearse was driving down the street when the back door came open and the coffin fell out and rolled into a drug store.
"The lid of the coffin popped open, and the guy inside sat up and asked the pharmacist, 'Do you have anything to stop this coffin?'"

text: Wireless in the mining industry01 Feb 2012 05:08 PM Wireless technology is being adopted by those within the mining community to deliver optimisation and efficiency at an affordable price. Mark Dye reportsLike many other industries, mining operations around the globe are now turning to wireless technology in a bid to boost operating efficiency, reduce costs and improve upon safety.And why wouldn't they? Mining isn't an industry where things are done by halves. Most operations are done on a massive scale and those involved frequently have to work in the trickiest of situations, often fraught with danger. Mining is also a mature global business touching many points across almost every continent, and one where downtime costs firms millions of dollars.As Rob Bamforth, an analyst at Quocirca, notes: 'There are many opportunities for the technology within mining as it is a large-scale industry with a harsh working environment that is dispersed over large areas. There are significant safety issues that wireless can help with, providing it can be reliably delivered. There is also expensive equipment that needs to be tracked, not only because of value but also precise knowledge of location can be difficult, especially underground.'Wireless benefits Of course, the introduction of wireless technology brings benefits, not least the reduction in cables and new sense of space and mobility it affords for users. Underground, such metrics make a huge difference to those working at the coalface.And now, thanks to technology such as Wi-Fi, mesh wireless networking and greatly evolved battery technologies at greatly reduced cost, mining operations are turning their focus to the technology in a bid to provide real-time practical solutions to the challenges they face.As Tommy Andersson, key account manager at Swedish Radio Supply AB explains, today's mining industry is using both voice and data communication in the field to deliver efficiencies.'Voice is mainly for safety and production operations,' he says, 'while data communication is used for transmitting information such as drilling data etc. The trend is that bigger units are moving from analogue to digital voice communication and TETRA is a common technology used for its built-in safety, high capacity, talk groups, good coverage, noise cancelling, rugged terminals and lastly its reliability.'Robust equipment Andersson also says there are firms who use WLAN networks for data communication, while some are looking to use them for voice too. 'Good coverage is critical and is needed both above and underground, from robust and reliable equipment that can withstand a harsh environment full of dust and moisture and where noise can be quite high,' he adds.Mining as an industry also requires a multitude of solutions for different scenarios, such as including equipment suitable for harsh environments and low-power consumption for solar powered solutions, as Bettina Leth Johannsen, marketing manager at DAMM Cellular Systems, points out.'Compact and mobile systems are important, as mining sites and requirements can change very dynamically,' she says. 'This flexibility also requires simplicity of deployment, which means minimising any training needs.'Johannsen points out that as mining operations often take place in very remote locations, communications in relation to safety and emergency issues are of critical importance. This requires equipment capable of producing 'man-down' alerts that put out calls to emergency units and services.'Obviously increased efficiency plays [an] important role in mining too, with TETRA platforms used for SCADA and telemetry solutions, data and security alarms, geo-fencing and so on,' she adds.Johannsen says that when you add to this the remote areas and changes in environment as an exploration moves forward, the importance of integrating things like GIS maps for dispatcher solutions becomes clear.'The remote locations makes the dependency on failsafe and redundant communication systems extremely important,' she says.John Erik Kostenniemi, chief of IT Infrastructure at LKAB, a Swedish mining company, says that wireless makes business sense because of the general dynamic and changing face of the mining operation and its faster implementation times.At one of the firm's sites in Sweden, the world's largest, most modern underground iron ore mine, Kostenniemi says the company is using wireless for connectivity: 'The LKAB mine in Kiruna uses 802.11 Wi-Fi communication, which is being extended continuously with the goal of reaching full coverage this year.'Meshing technology is also radically changing the face of mining, with deployed networks enabling real-time communications that allow for the monitoring of the myriad moving objects that make up the day to day mining operation such as haulage trucks, drilling equipment and of course, the miners themselves.Fleet management and monitoring above and below ground for things like dispatch is just as important to the overall operation as communicating with the miners.High bandwidth This type of network also allows for the scalable high bandwidth scenario required by many mining operations and can be delivered at affordable prices today by a plethora of vendors. With nodes also functioning as routers in this kind of operation, wireless devices are able to assist each other in the movement of packets over the network, something that can be beneficial in the adverse conditions of open-pit and underground mining, which suffer from signal degradation.'In addition to the harsh physical conditions that will easily damage sensitive hardware, this environment can absorb, reflect and cause errors in wireless signals,' confirms Bamforth.In a mesh scenario, users are able to simply add in extra nodes to build in redundancy and performance for mining operations, with the added protection coming from the networks' ability to simply route information along different paths, thereby circumnavigating any network problems should a node go down.The beauty of the mesh also lies in its ability to serve out a number of end points, unlike point-to-point networks. And all this at a relatively low point of entry compared to the wired networks of yesteryear.Indeed, in a short space of time the mining industry has come a very long way to truly harnessing the benefits that wireless delivery can bring, with the convergence of these technologies having already brought new efficiencies and improved time to market at a fraction of cost – while saving lives too.Wireless magazineLeave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

With Turkey and Germany realising oil was also of importance to the Allies, a small detachment of German secret agents, Persian volunteers and Turkish troops covertly in to Iraq to stur up an Arab and Kurdish hatred of the colonial authorities. The Kurds mostly disliked the Turks as much as the British, but the Arabs were ready to move. Erwin Rommel's wise use of armoured made some initial gains against the ex-colonial forces around Mosul, Kirkuk and Arbil, but the locals were not impressed and stayed neutral. The 12 day invasion finally imploded due to the Kurds not being interested and both The Trucial States, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia liberating Al Basra after some heavy street to street fighting with Persian volunteer forces on the 20th. A minor riot in Kuwait City was quickly squashed on the 23rd by Kuwaiti and Australian forces.
Causes of the conflict
The cutting off of the Allied oil supply was seen as a tactical necessity at the time. There was also the long term need to consolidate the gains they had made in northern Egypt, Palestine and Vichy held Syria. Turkey had long since craved for revenge like its counterpart Germany for World War 1, the Arab rebels who betrayed the Islamic cause and rebelled against the Sultan deserved to bleed slowly to death. Turkey had its eyes on reconquering the Arabian peninsula - in particular Mecca and Media, Islam's holiest cities.
Both Turkey and Germany had realised oil was also of importance to the Allies. A successful Arab and/or Kurdish insurgency could gain them some permanent access to Gulf oil, while blowing up pipelines an alike could reduce output to the Allies for some time.
A clear Trucial States victory, but oil supplies to the Allies were disrupted for several weeks.
Political outcome
Turkey and Persia were emboldened and stayed on the German's side. The Sultan now had a clear and broad base where he could launch an invasion of Saudi Arabia. Large groups of ex-rebel soldiers and other Iraqi military personnel began to join Turkish ranks, to fight Jihad (holy war). Turkey finally launched its invasion of Saudi Arabia with forces of up to 500,000 Iraqi and other Arab soldiers under their command.

With our society today being such a disposable society, people wonder if it's really cost effective to hire electronics repair. Sometimes it is, if the fix is minor and your equipment is expensive. It's necessary if it is your business computer and you can't afford to loose the data.
There are many services today that will gladly come to your home. If you are a bit savvy about electronics there is also the option of a telephone consultation. In this case the technician will talk you through the repair that you may be able to do yourself.
There are also many on line advice sites. Some have forms that you can fill out. You tell them the symptom and they tell you what the most likely component that needs replaced. It could be something as simple as a fuse or a wire has come loose. It could be just a simple adjustment.
Maybe you are a hobbyist, and enjoy tinkering with electronic equipment. There is a lot of online information to help you with this hobby. Many of them are specific to certain models, and some is just general information on how circuits work.
If you enjoy your hobby, you could possibly make extra money as a service technician, by taking an online course. There are free courses as well as more intensive courses, which charge a fee. Paying the fee may be the answer if you want to become a certified tech.
Other sites cater to the professional electronics repair technician. They offer the usual trouble shooting tips as well as courses to help you certify. If you certify on a certain brand you can become an approved certified technician for warranty work. This will give you a steady larger stream of income to enhance your business' bottom line as well as help you with a more prosperous life.
