LU Hang-over: Surfing 101 for Beginner Surfer Like Me
Disclaimer: I am no surfer so the tips written here are purely based on my beginner 'surfer' experience.
October is one of the surfing seasons in the Philippines and not being a fan of surfing (before), when a friend invited me to the 7th La Union Surfing Break Festival (Oct. 26-28), I said yes, mainly because I haven't been there yet – ever – and I've been wanting to for the longest time, and it's a beach and I need a break from work and I want to spend it with friends. In short, surfing wasn't really my priority or my purpose of going there. So, I packed the usual beach outfit.
Lesson No 1: Familiarize yourself with Rashguard
Since my mindset is on beach mode, I packed maxi dresses and casual dresses on a tote bag. When I saw my friends, they are carrying backpacks.
When we get there in La Union, it's very laidback. Guys are just wearing shirts and board shorts while girls are wearing just shorts and sleeveless or tank tops or shirts. Good thing, I really am more comfortable wearing the same thing while traveling so I almost passed on this one (except for the scarf around my neck).
In the beach area, you'll see a warning sign that the beach is not for swimming. You can hardly see someone wearing just two-piece. In fact, I never saw one the whole time we were there, except at night, at the resort's pool area, when we were all just chillaxing. So, for you to really enjoy the place and to share that wonderful experience with your friends, decide that you will try surfing.
And when you're ready to 'play', rashguard is a must have for girls while some guys prefer just wearing their board shorts. Rash what? Yeah.
Waves can get really pretty playful so to avoid having a nip slip while you're there trying to catch some waves, you must have a rashguard or anything on top of your two-piece. (P.S. String bikini is acceptable but bandeau is a no-no. Right, Moe? *wink).
Lesson No. 2: Get yourself 'Some' Surfing Lesson
Five minutes of land lesson:
And before you know it, your instructor's already attaching the surfboard's leash to your leg and you two are already heading where the waves at. Whoah! (P.S. Ask him to carry the board for you, trust me, it's heavy.)
Lesson No. 3: Play!
'Laro'. This is the term they all use when they are referring to the act of surfing. You'll often hear them say 'Kailan ka maglalaro?' or 'Nakapaglaro ka na?' . I was honestly wondering if the term actually meant playing with the waves. Oh well.
Lesson No. 4: Ride
So, before you play, you must also know how to ride. Here's a very inspiring and helpful tip for girls from one of the surfers of First Wave: Riding a surfboard is like riding a boyfriend. You have to be rough at first. Once you get your spot, then you can go slow and just be smooth. Meaty, huh?
Lesson No. 5: Breast Out!
Literally! (if you're not wearing the proper surfing outfit). But, practically speaking, this is how you will manage not to be washed out by the waves coming at you while you're paddling your way to the waves. But, if it's a really big wave, let your instructor maneuver you to the same direction where the waves are going and just hold tightly to your board while he tilts your surf board upward so you will stay in your place while the waves hit.
Lesson No. 6: Ready … Stand!
When your instructor tells you to get ready, expect the push in five seconds and when your glide is getting faster and faster, all you need to think of is to stand (or just try to) and just let the waves do the works. Sounds easy? Nooooo. It took me more than an hour before I can manage to stand.
Lesson No. 7: Prepare to be 'Stoked'.
A hundred times of getting washed out is nothing once you get to actually experience what it really meant to actually play with the waves. Trust me, it's 'solid' and 'steady', if you know what I mean J Bonus in this experience aside from meeting new friends and 'playmates', are the surfing jargons you'll learn as you go through the whole thing. So, what are you waiting for? Save P3,500 (with buffer already) and you're good for a 3-day 2-night surfing sesh in LU. Want to know other details? Ask me. Love, Rikki.

Wide Sargasso Sea was Written in 1966 by a Dominica born author Jean Rhys.
She was born in 1894 and moved to England when she was 16 years old (1910).
Upon her arrival Jane Eyre was one of the first novels she read.Authors background
Rhys never adjusted to the move from the west indies to England.
Rhys always felt cold and removed and imagined that the character Bertha Mason from the novel Jane Eyre must have felt the same.
Rhys had chronic financial difficulties, she was marries three times and two of her husbands spent time in jail. She was also a heavy drinkerRhys's life difficulties
The portrayal of Bertha in England.Jane Eyre always disappointed her.
Since she came from the west indies and had difficulties adjusting in England the story had special significance to her.
Rhys wrote Wide Sargasso Sea as a response to stereotypes informed by Bronte's nineteenth century English culture and social status.
Rhys's many difficulties led her to empathize with all kinds of human suffering regardless of the cause.Reasons for writing her Novel
Rhys develops the complex character of Antoinette Cosway, who Bronte describes as a mere lunatic in the novel Jane Eyre.
Rhys's empathy for Bertha/Antoinette leads her to chose Bertha Mason's ill fated marriage as a perfect subject to explore. Rhys takes the reader deep through her psyche as a way to better understand Bertha/Antoinette and the cause of her madness.
Rhys and her character Antoinette both grew up in the British controlled colony of Jamaica.
The British Empire formally ruled Jamaica from 1670 as a result of the Treaty of Madrid.
Sugar became a luxury commodity ever since the development of large scale sugar plantations during the 1640's.
There was a high demand for sugar after the British Empire seized control of the Island.Colonialism in Jamaica
By 1750 Jamaica was the most important British colony in the west indies.
In 1834 the British parliament abolished all forms of slavery in their colonies.
The sudden loss of a large slave population was devastating for the Jamaican economy.
Antoinette, the narrator for the first half of the story describes the difficulties of growing up in the 1830's in Jamaica.
There was a strong feeling of isolation and loneliness that she experienced as a white Creole child in a predominantly black West Indies.Antoinette: Life in the West Indies
Antoinette's character's family were once rich and owned many slaves, but experienced a decline in their fortunes and status after the abolition of slavery.
One night locals surrounded her house and burnt it down leaving both Antoinette and her mother scarred.
Antoinette was so traumatized that she is forced to go to a convent to recover. On the other hand the extent of the trauma leads her mother to go insane.
Antoinette's step father arranges her marriage to Rochester when she is 17 years old.
Rochester moves to Jamaica to be with her and early on they are happily married.
When Rochester leans about her mother's insanity he distances himself from her and their marriage deteriorates.Antoinette: Marriage to Rochester
As a result of a distanced marriage Antoinette begins to drink and attempts to use Voodoo to renew his interes.
Rochester tries to subdue his wife but none of his tactics work, so he decides to take her back to England and lock her in the attic.

Finnish telecommunications major Nokia has clocked a 97 per cent growth in revenues from its Indian operations to over ¤1 billion in 2003, making it the biggest growth market for the company after the UAE. Nokia's sales turnover from India in 2002 stood at ¤ 539 million.
The numbers assumes greater significance since Nokia's sales in China, which is also a booming mobile market, has dipped by a whopping 28 per cent.
In contrast, sales in India has more than tripled since 2001 when Nokia got just over ¤ 216 million. India's share in Nokia's total sales has also gone up from 0.8 per cent in 2001 to 3.6 per cent in 2003 when Nokia reported a net sales of ¤29.4 billion.
According to Nokia's annual report 2003 available on Nokia's website, India is ranked sixth when it comes to absolute revenue numbers.
While the US has contributed ¤4.4 billion in 2003, making it the largest market for Nokia, Spain which accounted for ¤748 million is the tenth biggest market in terms of absolute sales numbers.
However, India is among the five countries in the top ten which has reported a positive growth in revenues for Nokia consistently for the last two years.
The company's sales in the US and UK for instance dipped by 13.4 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively, between 2002 and 2003. The decrease in sales has been greater in the US when compared with revenue numbers for 2001 which was at ¤5.6 billion.
Other countries in the top 10 where Nokia's sales has improved includes Germany, UAE, Brazil, Spain and UAE. Interestingly, India was not even near the top 10 markets for Nokia two years back. While the US has been on the top, China has moved from the second to fourth spot since 2001.
Earlier Jorma Ollila. chief executive officer, Nokia had said India was the fastest growing telecom market in the world.

Biotechnology in Leather ProductionBY: Dilruba Peya | Category: Applications | Submitted: 2013-03-12 09:34:13
Article Summary: "The use of biotechnology allows a lot of benefits for industries. Some benefits are: commonly the biotechnological processes or reactions occur at low atmospheric pressure and at low temperatures; the procedure has a high space-time product, and renewable components..."
The use of biotechnology allows a lot of benefits for industries. Some benefits are: commonly the biotechnological processes or reactions occur at low atmospheric pressure and at low temperatures; the procedure has a high space-time product, and renewable components.
Biotechnological processes used in leather production, offering the reduction of adverse environmental impact of the activity. Currently, tanneries utilize high quantities of harmful products and water, like sulfide and chromium, produce a high level of solid garbage that could be better treated or reused and sewage that must be treated. In leather production, mostly applied enzymes, can be used in different steps of procedure: soaking, unhairing, dyeing, degreasing, and bating or in sewage and solid wastes treatment.
Biotechnology has been applied in tanning industry for some years. Presently, most of enzymatic preparations for tanning industry do not contain adequate specificity. The principal benefit of the enzyme soak are shorter wetting time, superior fiber opening, solubilization and reduction of carbohydrates, fat and proteins.
Enzymes can be utilized too on un-hairing methods, on hair removal and epidermis, removal of remaining elements, reduction on effluent load, and dispersion or removal of adipose components. It is observed that enzyme does not hydrolyze the collagen and has effectively hair removal, preserving the same conditions such as same pH and same time of conventional unhairing method, but without applying sulfide.
Enzymatic treatment can be applied too on wastes produced during the leather procedure. For not tanned garbage, can be applied proteolyses enzymes, alkaline and neutral, producing hydrolysates rich in proteins and fat, in temperature within 50°C. To tanned garbage, having chromium, can be found three fractions: the coagulated material containing chromium, hydrolysated collagen and proteins.
Two processes of liming and soaking are developed, one of these was entitled enzyme-assisted test, utilizing enzymes and chemicals and the other was entitled conventional test utilizing only chemicals. The experiments were carried out at laboratory scale in barrels. Two types of fluid enzymes, called lipase A (AL) and protease A (AP) were supplied. More two experiments were performed with only one of these enzymes. The chemicals used in biochemical analysis and leather processing were of analytical and commercial grade, respectively.
The process time to the phase of soaking such as enzyme-assisted soaking is four hours and for conventional soaking was five hours. The process time to the liming phase is lasted for 12 hours for the both enzymatic process as for traditional process.
The chemicals and enzymes use in both methods, enzyme-assisted and traditional, in the soaking phase with the proportion of use calculated on weight of the hide (about 250g of both samples). Each test is carried out from the starting.
In soaking phase the chlorides concentrations in waste water and the element of extractable materials with dichloromethane from hides are analyzed.
In the liming step, the weight percentages of resultant materials are added. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses are used according to show the variations between the outcomes of each method.
Based on the chloride deduction analysis in the soaking waste water, it's potential to understand that the time of the process is a variable which has a huge significance, mostly to the traditional method, that show a higher confidence on it to attain removal values nearer to the ones get on the enzyme-assisted method.
Moreover, it's apparent that the enzymes increase speed the hide wet method because it assists to open collagen fibers formation. The conventional method improves a lower capability of the fat removal in soaking, because the hides prove irrespective of the time, higher levels of fat. From the investigation of SEM images, it's potential to understand that the liming method that applies more enzymes is more effective in unhairing, because enzymes eliminate the hair from root, leading little harm to its formation, while the conventional method supports the degradation of hair composition.
The enzymatic hydrolysis tests of chromed leather shaving waste illustrate the maintenance of a solid stage rich in chrome, where average mass reduction effectiveness is 53.7%. From the outcomes of bacterial treatment it can be showed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the bacterial species lives in the environment having the chrome leather garbage, with no requirement for the pH adjustment. The bacteria eliminate the chrome present in garbage; conversely, the addition of sucrose formulates the process more efficient and more favorable.
So, biotechnology can be applied in leather manufacturing and it will play a great role for the reduction of contamination, principally, of water and soil.

Hi there, I'm a NYC-based web developer with experience building apps in React / Redux and Ruby on Rails.
Raised in New Jersey, I graduated from the Stern School of Business at New York University in 2013 with a double major in Business Economics and Marketing. Since graduation, my work has taken me in a wide variety of directions -- I spent a year in marketing, then financial services, and now the tech industry. I've worked everywhere from a 50-person digital agency to an international tech powerhouse with thousands of employees.
I've always had a love of learning but have struggled with the traditional resources available for education. I've used that as inspiration for my work here. My goal is to create comprehensive courses that break down the complex details into small, digestible pieces. I hope to see you in a course soon.

Double the trouble for Masterchef
It's Masterchef, but not as we know it.
This time, in the show's fifth series, contestants have entered as pairs, doubling the drive to win the coveted title which has launched many a cooking career.
Expect some bickering, a few tears and a lot of laughs from the double acts. It is, after all, a reality show. They come as siblings, couples and besties from all over the country, and they all wanna win so bad it hurts.
Judges Ray McVinnie, Josh Emett and Simon Gault are back at the helm.
And this series, Emett says, is a whole new kettle of fish (expect lots of puns).
''First of all you have two brains instead of one. Four hands instead of two.
''You watch them brainstorm. They hatch a plan and play to each other's strengths. They develop strategies. They have more confidence working as a pair. They are much more bullet-proof than if they were doing it alone.''
Gault says the judges have had to make sure each contestant is pulling their weight. There's no room for dodging in this show.
''We try to get them to stand together but also alone. We have to make both people in the pair stand up and be accounted for, not hide behind the other. We want to see their raw emotion. Their highs and lows.''
The pressures in the kitchen have been high and there can be tension between the pairs, Gault adds.
Love it or hate it, we all know that tension and confrontation are the essential ingredients in a reality show. But Gault reckons that sort of malarky is of no interest to the judges. It's My Kitchen Rules, he says.
''There have been moments of bickering, spats between the pairs but we don't get involved in any of that. It's all about the food for us, not what the couples are like with each other. All of that ends up making them stronger together in the end.''
The best part of Masterchef is seeing how much the contestants progress, Emett says.
''It's like working with a new young chef in your kitchen watching them learn and develop skills and respect their ingredients.
''You can see the light in their eyes when they accomplish something new. These guys . . . grow in confidence so much. It's great to see they can take criticism and actually apply it. Our job is to get them thinking and pushing themselves as cooks and question what they are doing.''
They're gonna get down and dirty in these challenges, says Gault, who confesses to feeling like a proud dad watching the would-be chefs slog it out to create the best tucker they can.
''They go through so many highs and lows but one thing is for sure; they'll never forget these challenges whether it's good, bad or just plain ugly.''
Whatever the challenges ahead for the group there will be some tough talking and high expectations from the judges.
To get a place on the show, you have to show more than just willing. You have to show something extraordinary.
''I like to give them a bit of a grilling,'' says Emett with a steely look perfected from years working in some of the hottest and hardest kitchens in the world.
''The bottom line is I am giving them my time and my knowledge and that's hard work. I want to get something back and see them develop and improve. I want to see results.''
MasterChef New Zealand, 7.30pm, Sundays and Mondays, TV One.

I took this photo myself on Thanksgiving Day on Mount Royal, here in Montreal. October 2012.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Archbishop Villegas: Killings spoil the beauty of Christmas. Extra judicial killing is ugly
Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines president and Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas has a message for Christmas.
Photo credits: Youtube.com
He said that killings in the country have spoiled the beauty of Christmas.
He also said that blood spilling in our streets and sidewalks is "ugliness that come upon us" because of the campaign of President Rodrigo Duterte against illegal drugs have s
The full text of Villegas' Christmas message:
Beloved People of God in Lingayen Dagupan,
"Christmas is a feast of BEAUTY. It is the feast of God, the source all goodness and beauty, who came down and became like us to make us all beautiful again. Yes, He came to make us beautiful again after a dark and sinful chapter of our lives-original sin. When you see beauty, remember that beauty comes from God. All good things, beautiful things, great things come from God. Only God can make us beautiful. His only will for us is goodness and beauty.
"Look at the beauty of the Child in the manger with His mother, who is the most beautiful woman ever created, watching over His baby. Look at the touching tenderness of Joseph adoring in quiet ecstasy the God of all creation whom he has been tasked to protect. Look at the sparkling eyes of the shepherds caught in awe at the sight of the newborn in the manger.
"How beautiful is the love of God for us! How beautiful is the Christmas story. Christmas comes to us as a feast of beauty but we are not blind and numb to the UGLINESS that has come upon us.
"We have Christmas but there is blood spilling on our streets and sidewalks. We have Christmas and we party but there are now more than five thousand families mixing Christmas carols with their quiet tears because a loved one has been stricken down by a bullet. Their noche buena is bland and tasteless because the bitter taste of death is too strong to forget. There are Christmas carols in the air but there is blood by the garbage dump and even inside jails. There is a Christmas parol by the window at home but the unresolved murder at home outshines our Christmas lights.
"This blood spilling is ugly because it is not the plan of God for His people. Murder is ugly. Extra judicial killing is ugly. Our land must flow with milk and honey (Ex.33:3) not with blood from violence and murder crying from the earth for justice (Gen.4:10).
"Is the world becoming more and more an angry society? Like many other parts of the world, we vote our leaders not with diligent prudent reflection but from anger. Anger has become so common and ordinary that the culture of revenge is slowly enchaining us. Anger pushes us to pursue the illusion that we must kill in order to defend life.
"Living in anger, we start to live in fear. We fear for our lives and our family's lives. We fear that the good name preserved for decades will be destroyed by calumny, malicious gossip and trumped up charges. We fear and in fear, we allow ourselves to be silenced. We bury our heads in the sand and pretend that all is well. Christmas brings us pain not just joy. Let not the Christmas feasting become like morphine to numb us and make us forget.
"Fear and anger are indeed strong human feelings but greater than anger and fear is HOPE. Christmas is not a story of anger and fear. Anger and fear came from Herod not from Christ. Christ brings hope; Herod sows anger and fear. Christmas is Christ not Herod. Christmas is hope, hope stronger than fear and anger.
"Christmas looks at our frightened eyes and, in an eyeball to eyeball duel, knocks down all our fears with Christ's light of hope. Christmas looks into the eyes of our hatred and rage to melt that madness with tenderness and compassion. The light of Christmas shines on our country, now plagued by a culture of revenge, to heal all raging hearts with the balm of God's kindness. This country cannot reach greatness under a blanket of fear and anger but under a mantle of hope and love.
"Christmas is hope. We have hope. Christmas is the time to renew our faith in God and faith in the greatness of the Filipino.
"Do not let anger kill you. Do not let anger push you to nod in agreement with murder.
"Do not let fear intimidate you. There is no peace for the coward. There is no happiness for the lazy.
"For the beauty that Christmas restores to us, we thank the Lord.
"For the ugliness of anger and fright that we have brought to the world, we stand up in battle and bring hope to our brothers and sisters.
"For the hope that the country greatly needs, let us take the challenge.
"Let the rivers of hope flow. Let the lighthouses in the dark night shine out and guide. May we all be in that river! May we all be that lighthouse!
"Merry Christmas my beloved ones!
"From the Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist, Dagupan City, December 25, 201

Fixed chamber baler
The POWER CUT system in round bale presses enables the crushing of the crop before the pressing process. The feed treated with the round bale presses with a cutting unit can absorb animals much better and it facilitates the comminution of the bales into the feed cart.
The electronic control panel signals whether the main press parts are working correctly, determines the uniform filling of the chamber, automatically activates the winding process, displays the process which is currently running, solves the brakes of the winding device and thus facilitates the winding process and shows the number of bales produced.
The 11 cutting blades increase the bale density by approximately 15 - 20% and thus create ideal conditions for silage and increase the harvesting performance. Selected knives can easily be removed, which allows a quick adjustment of the cutting length by changing the number of knives (cutting material cut from a length of 10 cm). The cutting blades can be retracted hydraulically if you do not want to use the cutting unit.
The individual overload protection of the knives protects the cutting unit against stones or other foreign objects, which can damage it (the knives are soft), and improves the longevity of the machine.
The system non-stop, which leads the Kettel and stretches (the Kettel does not stop during the bale loading), increases the machinendauernleben. The use of the reinforcement of the rope construction guarantees its longer work and allows the transmission the larger loads.
The uninterrupted chain guide and tensioning system (the chain does not stop when the bales are unloaded) increases the life of the machine. The reinforced chain construction ensures longer operation and can promote greater loads.
The synchronized mechanical locking device simultaneously closes both chamber locks and increases the press density.
The integrated net and twisting device allows the selection of an optimal harvesting technology for the respective material and winds it with net, single cord or double cord with infinitely variable winding adjustment.
A leading and crushing rotating set significantly increases the ability to transport the material, protects the machine from clogging, and improves its efficiency.
The wide-angle shaft, which is secured by an automatic clutch, improves the working comfort, makes it possible to travel in tight curves without having to switch off the machine and increases the life of the machine and the productivity of the work.

Faux spiderweb are the best bang for your Halloween decorating buck. You can pick up bags of them at almost any discount store for anywhere from 1 to 3 dollars each. We buy as many as we can at 50% off the day after Halloween.
One of my goals every year is to immerse everyone in spookiness. I have found that if you decorate literally from floor to ceiling, it's easy to pull off. You can create a "false ceiling" using spider webs that will have your guests feeling like they just walked into a haunted house.
Grab a hammer, some small nails, a ladder, and a friend to help you stretch the webs across the room. Going diagonally, crossing over other webs helps add to the illusion. Make sure to go the full length of your room for the full effect. Cover mirrors, and picture frames for that haunted house effect.
You can partner the spider ceiling with "scene setters" which have become very popular the past few years. These rolls of vinyl wall paper like material can transform your room into a multitude of things from woods and a cemetery to a castle or morgue. We used these for several years to give the illusion of eating in a cemetery using rolls of trees and stone walls.

|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of the chemotherapeutic drug, Trastuzumab (Herceptin) on the heart. Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is used to treat specific types of breast cancer and is known to cause weakening of the heart. Unfortunately, little is know as to why this this happens. The investigators want to identify any factors that may lead to the early detection, treatment and prevention of the cardiotoxicity (heart problem) associated with this drug.
|Detailed Description
As a subject participating in this study the following information will be collected: complete past medical history including age, height, and weight will be done with each echocardiogram; blood pressure at clinic visits during treatment with trastuzumab, type of cancer will be noted, type of chemotherapy, doses of chemotherapy, type and dose of chemotherapy in the past, type and dose of radiation therapy received, names and doses of cardiac medications, results of cardiac tests, results of lab tests, family history of heart disease, and social history which will include risk factors for developing heart disease including tobacco and alcohol use. This information will be entered into a database for the investigators to try and detect any factors that may lead to the cardiotoxicity (heart problem) that may be caused by Trastuzumab (Herceptin).
Any transthoracic echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) ordered will be further evaluated for special parameters that may help to detect weakening of the heart earlier than a normal ultrasound. An echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) is when a probe is placed on the chest and pictures are taken using sound waves and a special camera.

If it's time to replace your old hot water heater or you've decided you want to upgrade to a tankless model, you may be wondering how to choose the best model to meet your needs and budget. Understanding what sets tankless water heaters apart from tank models can help steer you in the right direction.
The biggest selling points when it comes to tankless hot water heaters are improved energy efficiency and a never-ending supply of hot water. Besides the fact that saving money on your electric bill is always a good thing, who wouldn't love knowing that they'll never run out of hot water in the middle of a shower again? If you've heard that tankless water heaters are the way to go, but don't know how they work, understanding their basic principles should reassure you that they do deliver on these promises.
First, let's look at why they're more energy efficient than your old tank-type hot water heater. With tank models, water is drawn into a tank where it is heated to your set temperature. Once it reaches temp, electrical heating stops, which allows the water to slowly cool, which, in turn, triggers the electricity to crank up again and reheat that water. How often this cycle is repeated depends on the size of your tank, how much hot water you use, and how well insulated your tank is (a poorly-insulated model will cause the water to cool more quickly). This means that you're spending money on electricity to continually heat and reheat water in that tank when you're at work all day, sleeping at night, or even on vacation for a week. Tankless models do not store water. Instead, when you turn on a hot water tap, cold water is drawn into the heater, heated instantly, and delivered. This saves electricity by ensuring that the water is heated only once–when it's en route to your faucet. Pretty simple, right?
The concept of an endless supply of hot water is just as simple. If you have a tank model, how much hot water you can get is limited by the size of your tank. Too many people showering (at once or in succession), washing dishes, or doing laundry can result in the hot water in your tank being used quicker than it can keep up with heating new water. Since a tankless model heats water on demand as it flows through the unit, you can run the hot water all day and never run out. If you live in a busy household and are tired of having to coordinate hot-water jobs or, worse yet, tired of being the one who finds out–the hard way–that the hot water's all gone, this feature might be worth its weight in gold!
While tankless hot water heaters absolutely do save electricity and provide a limitless supply of hot water, there are a couple of things that can cause problems for buyers who haven't done enough homework. One thing that a lot of people misunderstand is that the fact that tankless water heaters heat water on demand does not mean that hot water delivery suddenly becomes instantaneous. How long it takes hot water to reach your faucet still depends entirely on how far away that faucet is from the water heater. The other big misconception among some is that a tankless hot water heater will allow you to successfully run all of the hot water applications in your home at once. You can certainly run multiple applications at once, but many models will lose some water pressure if the demand on the unit is too great. When shopping for a tankless water heater, make sure you understand any prospective model's max load. Larger units will handle more water more quickly, but have price tags that reflect their added power. If seamlessly running multiple hot water applications at once is a priority, you might consider running two or more units parallel to one another.
When all is said and done, tankless hot water heaters can definitely save you money and give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing you'll never run out of hot water again.
Anyone looking for the best rated tankless water heater is sure to find one at tankless.reviews. Tankless gas water heater reviews, tankless electric heater reviews, and more are also showcased in the website.

Health-Care "Reform" Always Costs More Than Promised
by Hans Bader
"When the government creates a new entitlement to health-care, it costs far more than predicted.

For dataflow networks containing only deterministic nodes, a simple and elegant semantic model has been presented by Kahn. However for nondeterministic networks the straight-forward generalization of Kahn's model is not compositional. We Present a compositional model for nondeterministic networks which is fully abstract, i.e. it has added the least amount of extra information to Kahn's model which is necessary for attaining compositionality. The model is based on traces. We also generalize our result, showing that the model is fully abstract also for classes of networks where nodes communicate over other types of asynchronous channels. Exaamples of such classes are networks with unordered channels, and networks with lossy channels.

Your Dodge dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your Caravan. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Dodge vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your car or truck. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. You picked your Caravan because its dependability and versatility struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts?
The last half-century has brought us amazing advancements in emissions reduction as well as fuel economy improvements. The vapor canister purge solenoid is one part on your Dodge Caravan that does both jobs. You can usually find it on top, or just i front, of your gas tank, and when you start your engine the Dodge Caravan vapor canister purge solenoid vents built-up gas vapor from inside the tank to your intake manifold so it can be used in combustion. If a burst of pressure or fuel vapor gets released when you open your gas cap, then you should take a look at your vapor canister purge valve to make sure it hasn't failed.
Given all the hassles associated with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Don't let a Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid Valve repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the best replacement parts. When it comes to Dodge Caravan Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid Valve parts, you can find them for 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

I don't use anymore those two classes. They have been designed once upon a time to allow xbean to feed the real Acceptors (which are MINA data structure).

I am sorry guys, but I will leave this wiki. I may come back when I have pulled myself together, but for now, I'm leaving. I am not sure if I will ever come back, but it may happen. Probably not.
