My own emotional attachment to Lego is getting a little bit out of hand. I spent a ridiculously long time working out how to create a custom designed Lego table and get endless pleasure out of sorting all the little pieces into their appropriate sections.
Of course, I can't actually build the stuff now that Jonah has progressed to the serious box sets but I've loved watching his complete and utter commitment to those little blocks.
Lego is the first thing that comes out in the morning and the last thing at night. He brings it into the bath before we read some sort of Lego related bedtime book and he's even got his own blog, Legocation.
Maybe because in this crazy world, Lego is the one constant for Jonah. No matter where he is or what situation he is in, he can count on Lego to be the same and I guess there's a huge amount of satisfaction when completing a box.
It's funny because I've spoken to a few mums of little boys who say that in school their boys can't sit still or focus but will literally spend hours pouring over the instructions to create some fabulous Lego set. What is it about Lego that can hold their focus for so long and how do we harness that?
I mean if any of you have actually looked in a typical Lego instruction leaflet, you will see that it requires a huge amount of concentration, certainly beyond the limits that I have. But Jonah has very little problems finding the correct pieces and fitting it all together. Sometimes he asks me for help and I offer a piece that I think will work only to have him look at me with pure horror when it's a slightly different colour or has an extra bit sticking out.
And it's not just through the building of it, Lego is the start of so many imaginative roleplaying games that they can do alone or with friends. It's a chance for them to express themselves and their emotions because if you actually listen to their dialogue, it is often full of experiences that they may have had themselves that day.
Jonah and I used to play a game called Star of the Day, based on the real Star of the Day at school. We would come up with a reason why each Lego figure wasn't the Star before knocking them flying and then give a huge whoop for the one who was. Rather than drilling him in appropriate behaviour at school, this was a fun way of him hearing the same message without feeling like he was just being talked at.
Jonah also loves to draw Lego. For many boys, picking up a pen and paper comes slightly later so anything that encourages them to do this has got to be a good thing.
But really what I love about Lego is how much Jonah loves it. From the original Duplo Lego through to Lego City, Ninjago, Chima, Star Wars and now the ultimate, Lego Minecraft, Lego talks to him like no other toy can. If Jonah can just maintain this passion and commitment and apply it to other areas of his life, then he will be successful in whatever he chooses to do.
I on the other hand will probably spend the next 20 years finding the stuff in places throughout my house, furniture and clothes and often stuffed in the ends of my shoes.

Hello strange people staring at this blog!
Woah, I've been quiet for quite a while - just been enjoying Vancouver. Working away, snow boarding, swing dancing and lots of gesture drawing :-D. Thought I might share some of my recent gesture drawings as I'm really happy with my progress lately:
5 min
5 min
variety of 2-3 min.
Recently I attended a live half day workshop by Louis Gonzales hosted by schoolism.com. Was a really inspiring eye opener - I love how that guys has such a focus on the idea and what you're trying to express. So many artists I know get so preoccupied with technique that ideas actually seemed to get forgotten. Funny that, because a drawing is nothing but technical or decorative without ideas :-P. One quote I've come away with from him is "Exaggeration is emphasis". We shouldn't be exaggerating just because it's appealing or funny, it should be to draw focus and emphasize a character trait or story element. Exaggeration is nothing without "normal" stuff around it!
Adios playas! Keep create'n :-D

I love cooking with couscous and lentils. Just in general. They are both quick, easy, and can be seasoned numerous ways. I often have a pre-made container of each in my fridge either to eat as-is, or to add to a new dish.
This is a great dish for dinner in a hurry. And as usual for my dishes, is very kid friendly. Both kids loved it.
All that's needed for this recipe is two small pots and a strainer. I love meals that don't require a million pots and pans, and that take less than 30 minutes to make.

How Japanese Engines Have Altered The Modern Automotive Trends Arena
Japanese engines form one of the most reliable forms of mechanized locomotion in this age. They span back to their advent in world war two Japan but picked up mainly during the war and after the war. These machines are either made by hand or using a controlled assembly line. Due to the high level of experience, these machines are regarded as one of the best worldwide.
Apparatus originating from Japan mostly use the electronic fuel injection. This refers to a technology that sprays very thin droplets of fuel into the combustion chamber. It is this technology that makes the use of fuel by these machines very effective and economical. It is wide gap between Japan cars and guzzlers from the US.
These automotive parts are either petrol based or diesel based. Diesel ones, usually are very efficient and economical in running huge plants and vehicles. Petrol on the other end may not be cheap but they are easy to run and maintain. This is a generic characteristic of any engine no matter the manufacturer.
For those seeking to buy, it would be vital to understand the dynamics of markets. Terms used to describe these variations may be confusing so it is good to be clear. Refurbished means an engine that looks like a new one but is essentially old but fine tuned as new. New and refurbished parts may be hard to distinguish especially for non experienced buyers. Additionally, it is vital to note that old ones advertised as used may just be better than some refurbished ones.
There are many benefits of using these products. The most obvious is their cheapness. It becomes easier for Japanese to produce many appliances at very low prices that it is for some other manufacturers to do the same. In Japan, every operation is mechanized and this is the reason for the lower costs. There are also many benefits of economies of scale reaped from mass production and sharing of overheads. These are very reliable in the powering of vehicles and plants.
To add to those benefits, it is good to know that support at Japanese factories and distribution centers are very helpful. These engines also come in a variety of sizes and shapes, making it easy to suit the needs of a business with the supplies. The major brands of such are generic and applicable to a thin spread of possible users. Sizes can vary according to the customer requirements.
However, disappointments still happen. The cars using these engines sometimes malfunction. This is a common phenomenon for engines built by assembly lines. Lack of a human touch in the inspection of critical parts of the process at times allows grave mistakes to pass unnoticed. This is the low point of these brands. It gets interesting when one delves into the details of how much they spend on research to solve such problems. Interesting too, Japanese are notorious in recalling flawed cars, a good indication of their commitment.
Japanese engines are however the best there is in the world. They hold a delicate combination of reliability and cheapness. It is one of the revolutionary products in the automotive industry in the world. Cars using these give the owners piece of mind throughout their life.
Jaguar Facts And Some Automotive History
Jaguar has been a leader in the car industry since the early 1920s, and it has been making fantastic vehicles and impressing its customers since then. Jaguar is particularly well known for making sophisticated cars that are stylish and innovative.. We will take a look at some Jaguar facts and see some history behind this great automotive brand that makes it what it is today.
1. William Lyons started the Jaguar company with the goal of making luxurious cars at an affordable cost. When he first displayed his car to the general public, he invited everyone to guess how much the car cost. With a vehicle that looked truly dazzling and yet comfortable, most people thought it would be quite expensive. In reality, it cost almost half of what most people had guessed.
2. In 1938, Lyons was preparing a brand new car for the market, the SS100 coupe, and it was displayed to great reviews at the British Motor show that year. However, when Britain entered WWII the next year, plans for production had to be stopped, and that car was the only SS100 ever made.
3. Jaguars have been used on public roads and in races, finding great success in both areas. In the 1953 Heures du Mans, a car race built to test endurance, Jaguar cars were everywhere in the top spots, taking 1st, 2nd, and 4th place. The company dedicated its victory to Queen Elizabeth II, who congratulated them on a job well done.
4. Besides being an actor, Steve McQueen was also a race car driver. He owned a 16 XKSS model, and had it for over a decade. He sold it, but changed his mind soon after and bought it back. He had the car until his death.
5. Jaguar manufactured an iconic car between 1961 and 1975, called the E-type. The Daily Telegraph listed it as one of the most beautiful cars ever in 2002. Enzo Ferrari, a man who knows a little about cars, remarked it might be the best looking vehicle he had ever seen as soon as he saw it. Now that you are familiar with some Jaguar facts, you know some of the great cars this company has made, and why even famous people are in love with this comfortable and luxurious brand. Jaguar is a fantastic company, and they will be making quality vehicles for a long time to come.
Latching vs Momentary How Push Button Switches Impact Safety
The wrong switch in right place can make all the difference in the world. This is especially true when it comes to push button switches in the automotive industry where the difference between latching and momentary switches can have a significant impact on resource consumption, safety, and overall performance. The operation of the momentary push button switch is significantly better than a latching. >
To begin this literary demonstration you need to picture three things; your vehicle, a push button switch, and your exhaust system converted into a flamethrower ready to fire at the touch of a button. Specifically a push button at which point it will shoot up to 20 feet of fire out the back of your vehicle, but now what? You have a big ass ball of fire flaming out your tail pipe and your finger is stuck on the button. This is the point where your choice of push button will tell the tale of what happens next. If you bought a latching the vehicle would keep spitting fire out the back until you either push the button again, turn off your vehicle, or wait for your vehicle to completely run out of fuel which could be quite expensive. On the other hand if you have a momentary push button the flamethrower would stop instantly upon release and start firing again instantly the next time you push it.
The scenario above demonstrates that a momentary push button switch will always give you greater control over a process designed to be short and sweet. Long term processes such as starting an engine for a long trip are obviously better candidates for a latching button unless you like driving thru rush hour traffic with one hand on the wheel and the other on your switch. If you have any questions about the benefits of momentary switches feel free to visit the experts at SmokeandFlames.com who are happy to talk to you live online or over the phone.
Nanotechnology For Automotive Lubricant Systems
How and why tungsten nanospheres work:
To start, nano particles (spheres) are hard to imagine. So small, that they can interact with engine lubricant and other matter on a molecular level.
This interaction allows them to become one with both the metal surfaces and the lubricant they are exposed to, enhancing engine efficiency, power and gas mileage.
The tungsten component is chemically inert, stable and unaffected by temperatures encountered in application as a lubricant. Tungsten nanospheres will not alter the carrier, exposure to them alters the way the metal of the friction surfaces interact with the lubricant .
Once the metals are exposed to the tungsten component in the carrier fluid, metal to metal friction is dramatically reduced, if not eliminated.
This increases engine efficiency and gas mileage.
The end result is a dramatic reduction in wear, the friction that causes wear, heat, and power losses. This will also increase gas mileage.
Primitive man discovered that rubbing dead animal fat on things made them work better. Ever since, man has quested for better means of lubricating the things he (or she) has created.
Lubrication has progressed from animal and vegetable based oils and greases, to highly refined mineral bases, silicone and synthetics. Graphite and Molybdenum have been used as additives in varying degrees in the past.
Tungsten nanospheres are an exciting development in lubrication for the 21st century.
Benefits:Lower friction, improved lubricity, lower energy costs.
Measurably better gas mileage , reduce wear, increase engine efficiency and
increased horsepower. Lower operating temperatures (as less energy is converted into heat). Increase in Oil / lubricant life and longer changeovers.
High Load bearing property means Reduction in wear of mating parts.
Offers increased corrosion resistance. Nanoparticles cannot clog oil or fuel filters as .5 micron particles easily pass through filter.
Characteristics :Nanoparticles are defined as any particle with a size less then 100 nanometer (0.1 micronmeter). When materials are made into nanoparticles, their reactivity increases. Nanoparticles have a very high surface area to volume ratio, due to this, a higher percentage of atoms (in nanoparticles) can interact with other matter. Therefore, the surface area (measured in square meters per gram) is the most important unit of measure for nanoparticles.The higher the surface area,the higher the lubricity.
Tungsten nanoparticles as applied to engine lubrication:Tungsten nanoparticles are one of the most expensive and highly developed lubricant additives available today.
Nanotechnology, as applied to lubricant additives, suspends the tungsten spheres in the circulating lubricant. This allows the tungsten component to be applied to all metal bearing surfaces, as well as cylinder walls, pistons and piston rings. An important characteristic of nanoparticles, is that they bond to the metal friction surfaces. Essentially plating them, preventing metal to metal contact. Tungsten is one of the most wear resistant substances known to man. Tungsten nanoparticles are temperature resistant far beyond what is encountered in any automotive application.
Incorporation of tungsten nanoparticles into a lubricant only increases its performance as a lubricant.
Road Trip Preparation Prevent Unexpected Automotive Repair
If you are preparing for a day-trip or an extended vacation to unwind, having a "pre-trip" automotive service will ease your mind and possibly prevent an unexpected automotive repair that leaves you stranded out in the cold. Here is a simple check list to include in an automotive service to get you off to a great start:
* Vehicle Loading & Tire Inspection
Virtually all late model motor vehicles are equipped with a sticker located on the driver's door or pillar. That sticker determines maximum vehicle capacity, which means the weight of the vehicle along with the combined weight of passengers and cargo. Don't exceed the recommended load capacity. On the same sticker is also a tire pressure chart. Be sure to check all tires and make certain they are inflated properly. Tire tread depth should also be inspected. If tires are worn to a point where less than 2/32-inch of the tread remains, or if the cord or fabric is showing, it's time to replace the tires.
* Lights & Horn
Inspect all exterior and interior light/lamp functions. If any bulbs are burned out, and if you are uncomfortable with replacing it yourself, take your vehicle to your automotive service center and have it taken care of. You will want to make sure the horn works properly.
* Windshield Wipers
Test the wiper operation of your vehicle. You will also want to check the wear of the wiper blades. If they are streaking, or squeaking, they probably need to be changed to make sure you have clear visibility in the elements.
* Parking Brake
Test the parking brake with the engine running, transmission in drive and your foot on the brake. With the parking brake engaged slowly release the foot brake. If your vehicle moves forward, then the parking brake is not adequate. To ensure your safety, don't forget to have it checked as part of the automotive service.
* Spare Tire
Spare tires can lose pressure over time. It's a good idea to not only check the pressure of the spare, you should also insure it isn't damaged, as well as checking the tread wear and overall condition.
* Car Jack & Tools
Check the truck to make sure you have the appropriate tools and car jack (and that they are in good working order) for changing flats, etc.
If you have completed the above check-list and had a complete automotive service, make sure you have taken care of any deficient or broken items. Although you can never guarantee that something unforeseen may happen, you will at least be prepared for the unexpected.
Saving Money on Auto Repairs
If you are having problems with your vehicle you can take it to a mechanic or you can try to solve the problem yourself. Many mechanics charge high sums of money for their services, but there are several auto repairs you can perform yourself to save money.
One of the easiest auto repairs you can do yourself is changing the oil and replacing the filter. This needs to be done every three thousand to five thousand miles. This is a maintenance issue, but it will help you avoid the more costly repairs that will be necessary if you do not change it regularly. The hardest part may be finding a place to dispose of the old oil and filter as most cities have regulations on how they can be disposed of.
A more challenging do-it-yourself auto repair project is replacing the brakes and pads. Not having good brakes can result in expensive repairs to other parts of the vehicle later as well as the danger of not being able to stop fast enough, resulting in an accident where someone could get hurt. Changing them when you first notice a problem will help your vehicle run better, longer.
You can also perform your own tune-up fairly simply. This involves removing the spark plugs and replacing them with new ones. If too much time goes by, carbon builds up on the spark plugs in the engine, resulting in spark plugs breaking. A good indication of this problem is your vehicle misfiring when you accelerate or not speeding up as fast as it should.
Another fairly simple repair you can perform on your vehicle is replacing your windshield. All you need is a windshield repair kit that you can purchase from your local auto body shop. The best windows to repair are those where the crack is very small and the adhesive can fit into the chip. It is not recommended that you perform this repair in the hot sun, as the adhesive does not work as well under those conditions.
Finally, if you have steering problems, you can use a turkey baster to suck the old fluid out of the system, instead of paying upwards of a hundred dollars at your mechanic. This trick should remove roughly ninety percent of the old fluid. After this add the new fluid and start the vehicle. This will get the new fluid moving through the system, resulting in a better driving vehicle.
Auto repairs do not need to be expensive if you know what you are doing. Your pocket book will thank you and you can save money both in the short and long run.
Some Easy Way Of Automotive Fault Diagnosis
The first is to diagnose the question is asked with hope, a doctor needs to "look to smell it," Fault diagnosis is the same car, which look and ask a quick effective way to diagnose car trouble. Detection technologies can be used in launch x431, lexia3, mb star. Vehicle breakdowns need to diagnose, repair personnel first saw a car, it should make auto forms and useful life of the initial judgments, can learn from their appearance in the form of vehicles, it is very important; from the appearance or turn driving exposure to the engine room, you can make a useful life of the judge, experienced maintenance personnel, and even sudden car breakdown can make judgments. A car in need of repair, maintenance staff must be accountable to users and owners to ask, including the car models, service life, repairs, usage, location and the phenomenon of failure, and failure to do what after the inspection and repair, although possible understanding of failure, which is a shortcut. By understanding the forms, can reflect the basic structure and performance of the car, if the form and structure of the understanding of the automotive repair experience, it would be easier diagnosis; If understanding is not enough, check out books and materials, it is able to grasp.
Through in-depth inquiry, basically you can understand parts of fault occurred. For example, you can ask to fault in the engine or transmission; if the engine is still better understanding of electrical failure or mechanical failure; also understand that if mechanical failure is the connecting rod or valve train, etc., to make further diagnosis much easier. Failure is confirmed, exclusion and maintenance becomes easy. If the user talk to overhaul the car should be asked Kiyonaga engine powertrain, revised chassis, cab and auto body repair, auto electrical and automotive air conditioning repair, etc.What is the maintenance of key parts and assemblies, in order to set a maintenance program.
The second method is to use experience of fault diagnosis, by definition, experience, Diagnosis of failure is the driver and maintenance personnel with the basic quality and experience, quickly and accurately make a diagnosis of vehicle faults. The so-called basic quality, whether the driver or vehicle maintenance personnel, are required to book-learning, and in educational practices, to gain basic knowledge and maintenance of automotive experience, it is very important. Automotive Technology is a comprehensive reflection of national economic development, automotive technology advances, more and more new technology, therefore, do not work hard to book-learning, not try to practice learning is impossible.launch x431 is a very good detection. For example, the car's diesel engine unit pump fuel supply and engine speed control technology, and foreign new technology, requires knowledge on the basis of the original to the book-learning, to study materials, practice and then to carry out maintenance work. Only under the guidance of practice, practice is the right to sum up in practice and gain experience.
The so-called maintenance experience is essential, with experience in vehicle maintenance, re-encountering the same failure and similar failures can be resolved overnight. Experience, personal experience, after a summary and experience; there are other ways from the books and learn from the experience. Only combine the two in order to accumulate experience, more smoothly failure to judge the car. Such as diesel engine broke down, to cab flip, flip agency stuck a moment, the cab would not turn up, there is experience pushed a prize whenever one another, immediately turn the cab; such as during engine Speed fault, seeing the engine speed up rapidly, increasing noise, lack of experience does not make diesel engine flameout how dynamic, experienced person as long as the fuel tank slightly change the fuel valve turn 45 , engine stalling immediately to avoid a serious fault. This is not hard to see the result of accumulated experience. So to sum up experience and the experience to become a powerful weapon for vehicle maintenance, continue to use new knowledge and new experiences to arm themselves with the experience to solve the various cars and even a very complex problem treatment.
The third observation is diagnostic failure, the so-called observation is the car mechanic car users in accordance with the location of fault that careful observation of failure phenomena, and then make judgments on the fault, which is a most basic application is the most effective fault diagnosis. We often use lexia3. Such as hair dryer exhaust pipe to take the blue smoke of failure, you can take the phenomenon of blue smoke to determine if the process of long-term risk in the use of blue smoke, engine mileage and very long, enerally judged as cylinder or piston ring wear, result with the gap is too large, since the session of the oil through the oil piston rings and cylinder wall, fleeing into the space between the combustion chamber caused; if it is only when the engine emitting just launched an Lanyan a later they gradually take Lanyan become more modest, generally judged as the engine valve cover oil baffle rod bore wear and tear of aging or to disable the oil block, and a small amount of oil leakage along the valve rod into the cylinder caused. Experienced can accurately judge the inexperience of those who should be seen. In the process of observation, but also with the experience and theory to make careful thought and deduction, can not simply rush, can not be fooled by appearances. Some of those who experienced the phenomenon of the sudden can not see clearly, then we must read it several times, careful observation, to surface to see through the fault phenomena.
Diagnosis of hearing is the fourth failure, with the car and engine fault diagnosis of hearing is common and easy way. When the car is running, the engine in different operating conditions, vehicle and engine of this whole issue of a noisy but is a regular voice. When a failure of a part of abnormal noise occurs, there can experience abnormal noise issued immediately determine vehicle faults.Do not overlook launch x431, lexia3, mb star.For example, sound engine crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism, the main clutch ring, shaft ring, can be easily judged. For a good driver should be driving in the training of hearing, hear what the sound of motor vehicle parts, and from which to judge the abnormal noise and failure. Auto repair and engine failure, the vehicle maintenance staff often start the engine stop state, so the engine running at different speeds to hearing screening and diagnosis of engine failure; for the chassis and the clutch failure, often to road test the way to vehicles driving in different conditions, inspection and auscultation vehicle breakdown; difficult for the engine failure, but also the help of a stethoscope and a simple apparatus for auscultation, such as auscultation can be a long rod crank and linkage rod auscultation sound, you can hear the sound of Valve; used a rubber tube inserted into the volume of the oil-foot hole in the bottom of the oil pan above the oil surface can hear what the sound of the crankshaft, piston ring counterparts can hear the sound of gas channeling Department.
Check the parking brake state can step foot in the engine stalling when brake pedal, brake locking clear voice can be heard; lift the brake pedal brake shoe can hear the voices of recovery in situ. So well-trained drivers in traffic using the foot brake, in addition to the response under the car slow down, but also you can hear the voice of brake work, so the evaluation can be integrated brakes are working correctly. mb staris also a good detection method. Therefore, the automobile and engine noise as long as there is running, there should be a good first hearing, in the car at any time during the operation of vehicle and engine departments monitor the sound, with the speed of change in different parts of the noise, to hear what the normal sound, in the normal voice judged abnormal noise, abnormal noise in the judgments in the fault, of course, do have theoretical and empirical guidance.
Starting A Business Within The Automotive Industry
The automotive industry offers an opportunity for many individuals to get involved with a business of their own. The type of business that you choose is going to depend upon a number of different factors, including what may be available in the area and the type of skills that you currently have. It may also be possible for you to have a franchise and to go to a school that will teach you the skills that you do not yet know. Here are some of the different options that are available to individuals who want to start a business and work within the automotive industry.
One option that you have available is to detail cars before they are put on the car lot. At times, this is something that is going to be hired out to an individual that actually works for the car lot, but at other times, it will be hired out to a third party. In order for you to start a car detailing business, you're going to need the proper equipment and a means to get that equipment to the location. It is always a good idea for you to be set up in such a way that you will be productive and will be able to get more done during the day.
Mobile painting is also a business that you should consider, if you enjoy working on automobiles and like seeing the end result. Of course, the type of equipment that you are going to use in the field is going to differ from the type that may be used in a factory. For example, they may use nanofiltration technology or an anolyte system to deposit the paint on the car for a professional finish. When you are working in the field, you're going to need to become proficient at getting the paint and clearcoat on the automobile and giving a professional look. Considering the fact that you are going to be working outside in the elements adds another layer to this type of business. Even though it may have problems that are associated with it, it can be quite rewarding.
There are also many smaller businesses that are available for individuals that would like to work in the automotive industry. Some people make a business by clearing headlights that have become foggy or perhaps by fixing car interiors. As long as you have the skills that are necessary to complete the task, you typically have the opportunity to start a business that is going to be profitable. You should keep in mind, however, there may be very little call for the skill that you have chosen so it is always a better idea for you to offer multiple options to the car lot so that you will be more valuable to them.
The automotive industry has provided jobs for many individuals, both directly and through a third-party enterprise. With the right tools, the right skills and a little bit of ingenuity, you can start a business of your own and work within this exciting industry as well.
Steps To Selling Your Used Car For The Best Price
Getting a good price for your used car doesn't have to be as complicated as you may think. All you need to do is follow these simple steps and you can have the cash you want for used car in no time!
Get in the know- Before putting that for sale sign in the window of your car, it is very important to know what the market is like for your particular car. How "in demand" is your vehicle right now? What kind of potential buyer will be interested in your car? The answers to these questions will help your determine how to advertise and price your vehicle. When you know what audience to target, you will be able to sell to a motivated buyer who is willing to give you what you want for the car.
Ensure reliability- Many car buyers are skeptical about used cars. Make your car stand out above the rest by reassuring the customer of the car's reliability. Have your mechanic give the car a check to be sure that everything is in proper working order. Have them give you a report on the car's condition that you can show potential buyers. Another great way to tame skeptical used car buyers is with a vehicle history report.
Be Legit- It's imperative to know the rules for the sales of motor vehicles in your state. In the event of a mishap or accident, you need to be sure that you won't be held responsible once the transaction has been made. Once you have secured funds for your car, record the odometer reading and your signature on the title before handing it to the buyer.
Give your car a makeover- Who wants to spend top dollar for a car that doesn't look its best? Take some time to fix minor cosmetics on your car. Have the car detailed for the best clean inside and outside. Be sure to put an air freshener inside as well. If your automotive painting doesn't look the best, consider a new paint job to help seal the deal. A car that appeals to the senses is more likely to draw and interest more potential buyers.
Price it right- Of course you don't want to feel like you're just giving your car away. However, pricing your car too high will steer buyers away to the competition. Take fair market value into consideration. Go to various automobile selling websites and view comparable vehicles for pricing. After taking in the condition of your vehicle, price your car accordingly. Price the car a little above what you are actually willing to accept to leave room for negotiations. You don't need car sales training to be able to counter with a potential buyer, but if you make a habit of selling cars you should consider some.
The 5 Valuable Tips In Managing An Automotive Repair Business
The success of any business always depends on how it is being managed by its owner. Automotive repair business requires lots of things to consider before starting out. This type of business is one of the hardest ventures to supervise, but if you have superb expertise in handling automotive business, then everything will flow smoothly and according to the business plan. To assist you in managing this undertaking, here are the 5 helpful tips in running an automotive repair business.
1.Decide which suits you best, starting your own auto repair shop or purchasing a franchise of an automotive repair business.
Buying a franchise of an auto repair business is a lot easier than starting your own repair shop. If you purchase a franchise, all of the entire will be provided including the training, equipment and staff. Add to that, they will also be the sole responsible in marketing your business and most importantly they will provide you with high traffic-location.
3. Name your price.
Stating the values of your business and your charge per project are the next factors that you should consider. Never let your customers run out of trust on you and never let them pay for excessive work or repairs that are unperformed. Numerous automotive repair business in today's times obtained dreadful status towards the public due to several issues that includes overcharging. Don't let this happen to your repair shop. Be honest and always provide them with positive thoughts that your staff is competitive and you will provide them with superb services.
3. Proffer your customers with a guarantee.
All customers want an assurance that their vehicle will work appropriately after sending it to your shop. If you fail always give time to settle and discuss this matter courteously with your customer. Every client needs a guarantee that you can finish a certain job in a specific time frame. Always meet their expectations and make them feel that your service is exceedingly superior. Assurance is highly essential, it doesn't only create an established relationship with your customers, but it will also provide you with good appraisal.
4. Show concerns to your personnel.
In an automotive repair business, employees are one of the most important tools for the business to flourish. If you have good and competitive mechanics, always treat them nicely and paid them fairly. Giving benefits to your employees such as adequate compensation insurance encourages them to work harder and motivates them to be responsible. Always feed them with words of encouragement and build a good working relationship with them.
5.Acknowledge regular customers.
Recognize and reward regular customers. It's important to the customers for you to acknowledge them when they arrive. It makes them feel special and at ease to you as well as to your staff. Even a simple chit-chat , using their name, would make them feel so comfortable and content to your service. Giving discounts after the next repair or giving them abatement in other services is also very helpful in building a good customer-owner relationship.
In an automotive repair business, customer complaints are inevitable. But treat clients with complaints politely and always show concern and willingness to discuss and make resolutions, to the problem that is agreeable and fair to both parties.

The English word "person" has a long and convoluted history. Though the word itself likely derives from the Latin, persona, referring to the masks worn in theatre, its meaning has evolved over time. One of the biggest conceptual overhauls came in the 4th century AD during a church council that was held to investigate the concept…

Is The Iran Nuclear Deal a Good Deal?
Last week, 20 months of negotiations between 7 different countries came to fruition. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed by the US, China, Russia, UK, France, Germany, and Iran. The Iran Nuclear Deal, as it has been popularized, is a groundbreaking event in diplomacy with one of the most volatile nations in an area of the world that is historically unstable. The JCPOA has many confused about not only the details, but also the general concepts of the plan. I will try to keep jargon low and explained, so that this post will, hopefully, dispel some of the confusion.
Here are some terms for those unfamiliar with the uranium enrichment process:
Isotope – A variant of an element that has a particular mass (number of neutrons + protons). Heavier and odd numbered isotopes tend to be less stable.
Uranium 235 – The uranium isotope that is easily split (fissile) to produce energy. Uranium ore contains 0.7% U-235.
Uranium 238 – A stable uranium isotope that is not fissile and is not used for energy. Uranium ore contains 99.3% U-238.
Plutonium 239 – A fissile byproduct of nuclear reactors
Heavy Water – Water molecules that contain Deuterium, which is a stable isotope of Hydrogen containing an extra neutron, giving it greater mass.
Low Enriched Uranium – Uranium with less than 20% concentration of U-235.
Highly enriched Uranium – Uranium with greater than 20% concentration of U-235.
Uranium Hexafluoride (UF6) – Uranium that is bound to 6 fluorides. This form of Uranium is necessary for enrichment with the gas centrifuges.
Uranium Dioxide – Uranium bonded with two Oxygens. This form of Uranium is packed into fuel rods and used as fuel for nuclear reactors.
Beta decay – A neutron can be seen as a proton and an electron combined. During beta decay, the neutron emits the electron (referred to as a beta particle, hence beta decay), which effectively turns the neutron into a proton, thus changing the element into a new element (one that is immediately after it on the periodic table). For example, if Carbon (#6 on the table) beta decayed, it would become Nitrogen (#7). This occurs in the atmosphere as a part of the Carbon 14 cycle.
The most common thing I've heard regarding the deal is that people are uncomfortable with the Iran having nuclear power "now." This, I assume, stems from a misunderstanding of what the deal was designed to do. The JCPOA doesn't give Iran anything; Iran has had a nuclear program for years, and has been enriching uranium to amounts that are pushing the boundaries of normal energy usage. The JCPOA will require Iran to do a few things to reduce the chances of them creating a nuclear weapon, which I will explain one by one:
- Reduce their current uranium stockpile by about 96%
- No Uranium enrichment beyond 3.67% for 15 years
- Use only ~ 5000 of the lowest efficiency centrifuges (out of about 19,000) for the next 10 years.
- Redesign the Arak heavy water reactor
- No building heavy water reactors or stockpiling of heavy water for 15 years
- Allow comprehensive and unprecedented international inspections of facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
- Convert the underground Fordow nuclear facility into a nuclear, physics, and technology center where international scientists will also be stationed
- Ship spent fuel to other countries
- In return for the above tenets being met, economically crippling sanctions by the UN, EU, US, and possibly other individual countries, will be lifted.
Let's start with the first – Stockpile reduction:
This one seems to be an obvious win. Iran has around 20,000 lbs of low enriched uranium (~5% U-235) stockpiled. With this provision in place, they would be reduced to 660 lbs of low enriched uranium on hand. The reduction would be done by either shipping the uranium out of the country or diluting it. Iran also held about 460 lbs of 20% enriched Uranium. Since January, 238.5 lbs of this has been diluted to less than 5% enrichment. A little over a pound was retained by the IAEA for reference, a fraction of a pound was taken by the IAEA for sampling, and the remaining 220 lbs is in the process of being converted into Uranium dioxide, which is used for fuel rods. Research reactors, like the one what Tehran, run on fuel rods with 20% enriched uranium. Iran's Fuel Plate Fabrication Plant has no process line by which the oxide can be converted back to UF6 to be further enriched.
3.67% enrichment cap:
The percentage of U-235 (enrichment level) in your Uranium says a lot about your intentions. Uranium that is enriched to 3-5% is used in regular nuclear reactors for energy production. Uranium at 20% enrichment is often used for research and production of medical isotopes. Iran claims that it has enriched uranium to 20% in order to supply the Tehran reactor for production of medical isotopes. This is actually not an unreasonable claim. The last shipment of 20% uranium into the country was in 1992 by Argentina. This would last about 20 years at the most, so Iran does need 20% enriched uranium to continue production of medical isotopes that are used in everything from radiation treatment to medical imaging.
Cut in centrifuge use:
The details on the types of centrifuges and their usage are some of the more complex parts of the JCPOA. However, the main points are pretty straightforward. The gas centrifuges used to enrich uranium are a little different than the typical scientific centrifuge. These centrifuges use diffusion of gaseous UF6 (see terms above) to separate the lighter U-235 from the heavier U-238. This process isn't too efficient, particularly with the old equipment that Iran would be required to use. Successful enrichment, even to 3.67%, requires an assembly line of centrifuges, where the products of one centrifuge becomes the reactants of another. Keep in mind that uranium ore contains less than 1% U-235. Under the JCPOA, Iran would only be allowed to use about 6000 of their almost 20,000 centrifuges. Is this enough to make a bomb? Sure. I suppose 600 would be enough. However, the point is to make is difficult – and overt – for Iran to enrich uranium to weapons grade.
Redesigning the Arak Heavy Water Reactor:
The details on this are vague as of now. Supposedly, the reactor core will be filled with concrete and then redesigned according to UN regulations with the help of international scientists. Claims are that this will help reduce the potential of Plutonium being produced in high quantities. I'm not entirely sure what kind of redesign would significantly reduce this potential, other than the fact that heavy water reactors do not require enriched uranium. Because the water is "heavy," the reaction process is much more efficient. Heavy water already has extra neutrons, and so it is less likely to absorb the neutrons that are used to split U-235. Thus, your concentration of U-235 doesn't need to be as high to achieve efficiency. A consequence of low-concentration U-235 is over 99% concentration of U-238. U-238 doesn't split easily, so it tends to absorb neutrons, which will be in even higher abundance if the water isn't absorbing them. When U-238 absorbs a neutron, it becomes U-239, which is unstable and beta decays (see terms for info) into Neptunium 239. Neptunium 239 is also unstable, so it beta decays into Plutonium 239, which can be used as fuel in the same way as U-235 if left in the fuel rod. However, Plutonium 239 can be removed as it is created and replaced with more Uranium. This is how Weapons grade Plutonium is stockpiled. Fortunately, this shouldn't be a difficult thing for IAEA to monitor, as the inspectors will know how much should be present. Much of the success of this deal will fall on how well the inspectors do their jobs.
No stockpiling heavy water or building heavy water reactors for 15 years:
This follows the previous point. Not only will Arak be redesigned, but Iran will not be allowed to build or collect material (heavy water) to build a heavy water reactor for 15 years.
This part of the deal is a bit vague as well. However, it is one of the most important aspects. Iran is essentially on probation right now, and the IAEA is its probation officer. If Iran does anything wrong, sanctions, the levying of which are the main reason Iran is trying to make a deal, will immediately go into effect. It would be counterintuitive for them to break the rules overtly, and should be relatively easy to catch if they try to do so covertly. IAEA inspectors will have the ability to inspect not only current reactors and research (not to mention the monitoring or uranium mining and import), but will also be able to inspect "suspicious" areas. There is an appeals committee, and it could take up to a maximum of 4 weeks if Iran claims the inspection unnecessary. However, let's be real. The US and the rest of the world's intelligence will be all over any suspicions of the IAEA inspectors. If it's happening, especially on any scale that could be dangerous, we will find out. The last thing Iran wants is to be resanctioned and show that it cannot be trusted under any circumstances. Even a bad kid does what's in his or her best interest.
Converting Fordow into a research center:
Fordow is a heavily fortified, underground nuclear reactor. Under the JCPOA, Iran will not enrich any Uranium at Fordow, will convert it to a research center, and will allow international scientists to be stationed there. So, not only will IAEA have inspection capabilities, but the world will have scientific eyes inside of this facility, further reducing any chances of covert, illegitimate activity.
Shipping off spent fuel:
Spent fuel rods are where you get Plutonium 239, as described previously. Under the JCPOA, Iran will ship spent fuel rods out of the country for the lifetime of the Arak reactor, and will not build a reprocessing facility (necessary to separate out plutonium) for 15 years.
Sanctions will be lifted:
Economic sanctions from the US, EU, and UN, as well as other independent countries, has crippled Iran's economy. These sanctions include heavily restricted imports and exports on many things, including oil, which is one of Iran's biggest exports. Additionally, Iran has over $100 billion in frozen assets overseas, and was banned from participating in the international banking system. The economic sanctions crippled Iran for many years, deteriorating the quality of life for citizens as collateral damage. The sanctions will be lifted as Iran continues to show cooperation, allowing Iran to prove to the rest of the world that is can be a legitimate part of world trade.
Iran has been in "prison" the last decade or so. They have been showing good behavior through diluting uranium stockpiles even before last weeks agreement was reached. They are now essentially on probation for 15 years. This can be analogous to a recently released prisoner. You don't just set them free; they do their time and then you assign them a probation officer – in this case it's the IAEA. If the person shows good behavior and a willingness to be a contributing member of society, they will be allowed more freedom. This is where Iran is at with the JCPOA. This is why it's a 15 year deal. Iran has 15 years to prove to the world that they can be a participating country in global interactions. The world will have 15 years to learn about Iran's capabilities and prepare in the event that they break their probation. But, just as a prisoner wants nothing more than to avoid going back to prison, Iran wants nothing more than to avoid sanctions. This deal gives us a chance to form a somewhat diplomatic relationship with a country that, in the past, has been difficult to negotiate with. ISIS is also one of Iran's biggest enemies, and this diplomatic relationship might help curtail them, but that is a topic for another post. Will this fix all the problems in the Middle East? No. Is Iran our ally now? Absolutely not. Ultimately, this deal lowers the chance of Iran creating a nuclear bomb, gives them a chance to demonstrate their ability to cooperate and participate in global affairs, and is a step closer to stabilizing the Middle East.
For those of you who are still wanting to use military action against Iran (because the West's military interventions in the Middle East have been SO successful in the past) instead of trying diplomacy first, please read the document in the link below. It is an assessment of the pros and cons of military intervention in Iran by one of the most well regarded and respected think tank organizations in the world.
Why Cultural Appropriation Matters
Cultural appropriation is a tricky topic to unpack and explain in a manner that keeps the attention of those who believe it to be "PC crap," but also doesn't dampen the significance of the issue. But we should try anyway.
I've no doubt played a role in cultural appropriation throughout my life, with no bad intentions or awareness that I was doing anything harmful. Growing up in okla humma, Choctaw for "Red People," I was surrounded by Native American culture. Half of the cities I can name in Oklahoma derive from a Native American word or phrase in the language of one of the 67 tribes represented in the state. You can buy dream catchers and arrowheads at gas stations along the interstate, and Oklahoma museums have some of the largest Native American collections in the world. The designation of Oklahoma as Indian Territory in the 19th century laid the foundation for the incredibly complex and muddled mixing of unique cultures that white people typically lump into "Native American" culture. This amalgamated meta-culture, if you will, has been commodified into a staple of Oklahoma tourist attractions and local affairs. To those born here, the combined Native American culture is a frequent part of every day life, even though many don't understand the significance of the cultural artifacts in their original context.
The Role of Science in Society
Carl Sagan once stated, "… the consequences of scientific illiteracy are far more dangerous in our time than in any time that has come before." This statement becomes truer every day, as scientific and technological innovations are occurring at an ever-increasing rate. Studies suggest that less than 30% of Americans are "scientifically literate," meaning that over 70% of Americans would have trouble reading – and understanding – the science section of the New York Times. So, why is this important? After all, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.
The problem with this view is that science is a driving force behind our sociocultural evolution. New ideas and new inventions are constantly redefining how we live our lives. As time goes on, science and technology will define most of life as we live it. Already, this is true. 100 years ago, people often lived day by day without electricity. Today, the most frightening thing most people could imagine would be a total loss of electricity. Imagine all of the things that simply wouldn't work without it: phones, televisions, the Internet, lighting, heat and A/C, automobiles, and many parts of the manufacturing process for everyday items. We have built a society in the United States that is almost entirely dependent upon electricity. Personally, It's difficult for me to imagine a world without electricity because everything I know is based on upon it. Life has become relentlessly complex and multifaceted. Most people have no idea how the world around them – that is, this semi-artificial world, or anthropogenic matrix – functions.
As time goes on, our day-to-day lives will become less and less "natural" and more and more artificial. This is not inherently bad. However, it does raise the standards for what we must understand about how the world, especially our anthropogenic matrix, works. Failing to keep a basic understanding of science and technology is destined to segregate the population, facilitating the rise of an "elite" few, resembling more of an oligarchy than a representative democracy. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, and I don't mean to imply that a "New World Order" is going to secretly control our lives. I do, however, think that if nothing is done about our general ignorance of science, we will slip away from the democracy that we claim to love so dearly. How? How can ignorance of science and technology lead to the failure of democracy? After all, you can vote regardless of your scientific literacy. While it's true that you can vote while being largely ignorant of how the world works, this is part of the problem. To be clear, I do not think that there should be any kind of scientific literacy test in order to vote. This would only serve as fuel for the ever-broadening gap between those who understand science and those who don't. In a democracy, everyone should be able to vote. However, given the state of knowledge that we currently have and the increasingly complex world in which we find ourselves, uneducated voting has disastrous consequences.
A Little Politics
Politics is, in its most basic form, the practice of influencing a population. This is done by verbally persuading people to get behind an action that will be set in motion order to guide the population down a particular path of life. The United States is a representative democracy, which means officials are elected by the public to govern the public. The United States is not a simple representative democracy; many modifications are set in order to give the minority a voice. However, in light of these modifications, "majority rules" is still the rule of thumb. On its surface, a "majority rules" system seems ideal. Going with what most people want or believe is the best thing to do seems like a solid idea. I agree that this is typically a good philosophy – that is, as long as those voting are educated on the matter at hand.
The Modern Intersection of Science and Government
The base of everything in our lives is built from science; it holds together our infrastructure. When a politician makes a motion to change or regulate something, he or she is making a change that affects our anthropogenic matrix, and, consequently, the natural world in which our matrix operates through such acts as deforestation, ozone depletion, species extinction, etc. If a constituent does not have a basic understanding of how the world works, then how can that individual make a good decision with regards to electing a public official who will pass laws that affect the world? Moreover, ignorance of science and technology (not to mention poor reasoning and logical evaluation skills that tend to accompany science education) leads to a vote based largely on emotion and superficial similarity. If you know very little about a subject, you cannot make an educated decision regarding that subject. If not based on an educated understanding, something else must be the base upon which you make decisions. The next best choice would be decisions based on reason and logic. Unfortunately, a fostering of critical thinking is also aloof in many educational settings. Science acts as a major source of training by which people learn to reason and form logical conclusions. In turn, many – though not all – who base their decisions on logical reasoning are in the same group of people who base their decisions on knowledge of science.
If you don't use a knowledge of science to aid in political decision-making, it's likely that you are more swayed by charisma and emotional triggers. Those candidates who are more like you, or at least are ostensibly like you, are more likely to sway your opinion. After all, that's what politics is all about – persuading people. If most of your constituents are not scientifically literate, then you as a politician will be less likely to use science as a persuasion tactic and more likely to use charisma and emotionally charged wording that resonates with many of your constituents. Though not a valiant method of persuasion, it is a smart one. Unfortunately, this only perpetuates the current epidemic of scientific illiteracy.
Why Public Knowledge of Science Matters
One major problem with scientific illiteracy is that politicians can make a poor decision, intentionally or unintentionally, with no one to call them out. Regulations or the lack thereof concerning issues such as climate change, medical research, and irresponsible use of resources must be made based on the science that is used to study and understand these matters. If a politician uses a non-scientific basis for creating laws (a basis fueled by a constituency who is scientifically illiterate and, perhaps, an ulterior motive such as monetary stock in the decision), then consequences are sure to ensue. The effects can be immediate, such as lack of funding for education or medical research, or delayed, as with the consequences surrounding anthropogenic climate change.
Politics aside, understanding science and technology is imperative to functioning in our ever increasingly technological world. 100,000 years ago, one had to be a skillful hunter or gatherer; 10,000 years ago, one needed to be adept in agriculture; today, we must stay informed on, at the very least, the basics of science. Expertise is not required for social and political progress, but awareness is essential.

I don't get the treatment of Enlisted. I just don't. Dads is a dead show walking (episode order reduced, being pulled from the schedule). How do they not throw Enlisted on Tuesday nights, at least for a few weeks, to try and give it an audience? It makes no sense.

Rugman11 – I don't disagree.
By: Balaji K01.11.2014 @ 5:20 PM
Not that the Tuesday comedies are doing very well this season but definitely better than 0.8 and 0.7. I remember "Raising Hope" was a self-starter at 8pm and used to get 1.5 or 1.6 on Tuesdays.
By: HistoryofMatt01.11.2014 @ 5:49 PM
Rugman, you and I both.
Usually, when a show is that critically praised, as Enlisted was, a network will put it in a prime position and give it every chance to succeed.
Think "Parks and Recreation" on NBC.
But FOX never does anything for logical reasons. Their treatment of Enlisted follows their same illogical, stupid, and self-destructive handling of critically-praised shows going back to Firefly.
Fringe and Raising Hope were able to survive FOX's lack of common sense.
I can only hope Enlisted does as well. Like I said in Alan's review, soon-to-be-corrected mistakes aside, this pilot was as good as the Scrubs pilot. Perfect balance of the comedy with the dramatic moments.
It deserves so much better than what FOX is giving it.

I think Enlisted got the ratings it deserved.
By: smreyno01.11.2014 @ 6:40 PM
I don't understand it, either. I watched it and it's a decent show, but it was held until mid-season and then put in a spot after "Raising Hope" where it couldn't do anything except die at this point. I hope FOX at least understands that and doesn't pull the plug on it too quickly. Nobody could've expected better given the position it was in.
By: Other Scott01.11.2014 @ 10:19 PM
I think Fox's reputation for mistreating critically praised shows is a bit overblown, because of Firefly. Fringe probably got two more seasons than it should have, for instance.
However, this is a shame. I know that Fox was trying to make Fridays a legitimate night with Bones and Raising Hope, but this has backfired horribly. They've killed Raising Hope and Enlisted doing this which is unfair to those shows.
Fox has a ton of shows already on order for next year though, so I can see why they thought this was worth the risk. If the shows survived and people were watching Fox on Fridays, great! They have another night to put shows and 6 strong nights instead of 5. If they failed, they can cancel them and use their spots for all their new stuff.
It's unfair, and I would not be happy if I were the Enlisted people, but it's not necessarily terrible business for Fox at this point.
By: Wayne01.11.2014 @ 8:32 PM
I really enjoyed Enlisted. I hope it sticks around. It's the one new comedy I'm going to keep watching for a while. (I tried hard to like Brooklyn 99 and Trophy Wife enough to keep going, but they were way too hit and miss for me. I wanted to like Robin Williams' new show, but…it just didn't make me laugh.)
By: IamPetey01.11.2014 @ 9:57 PM
Agreed @ Col Bat Guano! TV is missing something but Enlisted is nowhere close to filling the gap.
By: bettysuit01.11.2014 @ 10:38 PM
Enlisted rated as good as is going to. It tied with the only other lowest rated big 4 TV show The Assets ,so don't dare blame the time slot after all of the major football promo, a webseries and contest. /cough/ Shark Tank Hawaii 5-0 /cough/
By: Marce01.12.2014 @ 1:20 AM
Really Betty, really?? No blame at all should be put on a Friday at 9:30 time slot. None?
By: jay01.13.2014 @ 3:20 PM
I agree with Marce, I loved the show, but FOX has set it up for failure
By: Steven J.01.12.2014 @ 3:01 AM
This show is Garbage, I served in the Army for 26 years and 8 months, 4 tours in Iraq, 2 in Korea, 1 in Afghanistan, and Bosnia, It's not funny to me. it's embarrassing, and shows soldiers in a very poor light. And every Senior Enlisted person I know hated it. I hope it goes away, and fast.
By: Chris01.12.2014 @ 5:20 AM
Almost everyone I know personally, civilian or military, tend to hate TV/Movies that most critics love. Same with the opposite: We tend to love film that "professional" film critics love to hate. Too bad Yahoo! did away with sorting their audience (not professional) film reviews by helpfulness.
By: bettysuit01.13.2014 @ 12:19 PM
No way @Marce. All other nettworks did numbers. People are watching TV on Friday. Millions of them. The show did not measure up. The 80s are gone. Give Bill Murray back his Stripes.
By: Wes Phillips01.13.2014 @ 5:36 PM
Putting a new show up at 9:30 opposite Hawaii Five-O, Grimm and Supernatural is rediculous. It has no chance in that time slot. If I couldn't record 4 shows at once, I couldn't watch it (do not have On-Demand). And why do the "big" networks choose not to replay the shows later that night or another night? The reason the cable networks are doing so well is because if you miss a show during normal viewing times, you can watch it later in the week.

I don't know the reason and it really doesn't matter- I am clicking my heels together everyday about it and though sorry I haven't been able to pull out the wool turtlenecks I love, I am not that sorry. My husband and I headed down to the New Jersey shore for a quick overnight stay, and drank in the sunshine and warmth. Come join us and feel the warmth too!

This is one of those "oops" photos when I realised I had left the ISO up at 1600 from the night before. Funny how I always do that on a cruise: I did it on the way to Rottnest and I did it on the way to Alcatraz. Luckily I realised a lot sooner on the way to Rottnest than I did on the way to Alcatraz… I still like this photo, even if it is a bit grainer than it needs to be.
It's looking out to the south side of the Swan River in Perth.
