to be wary of driving a larger car?(65 Posts)
Have been driving a smallish peugeot 307 which finally went bust
In the early stages of my driving after passing my test early 2012 I managed to scratch and scrape the car a bit (mainly parking and bumping into walls and gates). I still dislike parking and driving in tight spaces.
DH and I share a car. He wants us to buy a vauxhall Astra as he has driven them for years and says they've never let him down, and we're very limited with choice because I can only drive an automatic and we have a very narrow budget, so there are quite a few Astras available that fit our criteria, except I am really wary of driving a car much bigger than I am used to given that i'm not the best driver , I'm also quite tiny ( I do have to prop myself up with cushions in the driver's seat so I can have a decent view, FWIW am barely 5 feet tall and wear age 11-12 clothing). I would LOVE a little micra but DH's work requirements means he travels all over the country and does ALOT of mileage and needs a bigger car.
SO AIBU to be really wary of driving a bigger car or is it fairly easy to get used to?
Don't worry you will get used to it very quickly. I drive a landrover discovery which is basically a tank on wheels and I also drive a 7.5 tonne horsebox so am used to driving big things. I will admit to bricking it big style when I first drove the wagon as my other car at the time was a micra, but I just gave everything lots of space and soon got used to where the corners are.
I had a decent Astra until recently, they are reasonable cars though I found the turning circle a bit wide compared to others I've driven in recent years - yes even the company
tank Vectra I had for a while had the same turning circle!
My Astra was a bottom spec one so when I had money a year or so ago I decided to buy a NICE car that suited me, and looked around at most of the cars in that sort of class. I was shocked to discover that for a high spec the new Astra and Focus would cost me MORE than a Seat Leon of the same spec, and the Seat is packed out with VW/Audi gear including engine & gearbox and has a better reliability rating.
If your DH drives long distances then a decent sized car with a decent engine (at least 1600/1800 petrol or 2l diesel) will make a massive difference to his comfort on a long journey, and will be much less tiring. Plus larger cars tend to be available with a higher spec than very small ones, which again can make a big difference on long journeys
I've always driven small cars but for about 6 months drove my dads vauxhall Astra.
They're quite a nice drive. The only trouble I ever had was doing my usual crafty parking in the lane behind the house I lived in at the time. It's easy doing three point turns in arm span width spaces in a small car. It turned into a fifty three point turn the first time I had to do it!
A 307 and an Astra are roughly the same size. both are small family hatchbacks . an Astra may even be slightly smaller.
if you are doing a lot of motorway miles a larger car with a bigger engine is better. Especially if you are going for an automatic gearbox they really sap the power of a small engine. I really wouldn't fancy overtaking a lorry in a 1.0 micra automatic.
DH drives a Clio and I drive a Scenic. I much prefer driving mine. And even as a passenger the Clio is uncomfortable for long journeys.
Getting used to another car is just a question of practice. When I first started driving I would force myself to attempt a tricky parking manoeuvre rather than look for an easier option, I didn't want to hamstring myself by becoming one of those drivers who had to drive around for hours looking for an easy space.
Nowadays I have to park in a multi-storey for work that is always nearly full and has really tight spaces between concrete pillars. If I hadn't had all that practice in the early days I wouldn't be able to park in there at all.
Ha ha avuncular, I've had mine for 5 years and the indicators STILL annoy me!!!
I TEACH in a 2 litre Hyundai SUV, and now I wonder why I ever used anything smaller. Size makes it more comfortable and the power makes it easier to drive. Fewer gear changes and more forgiving.
It does have good all-round visibility - excellent mirrors (which I would say is a 'must' for any car).
It's easier for pupils then to downsize to a smaller car than upsize from one.
Since you should be aiming to keep a reasonable gap all round in any case, any extra width shouldn't make a lot of difference. Length can sometimes be an issue going round tight urban corners - I still occasionally 'kerb' the back wheel if I'm not paying proper attention.
Just take the car to a quietish car park - maybe with a friend - and find out where the corners are, for 'close in' parking manoeuvres etc.
A big car usually gets us RESPECT ;-)
I agree with comments that a couple of hours (maybe more) with a GOOD instructor might help you to identify key issues in your driving which it would help for you to fix.
Look for a Grade 5 or 6 instructor, maybe with a similar car to the Astra; recommendation from a friend might be good. [There is always room for improvement in our driving - I passed in 1967 and and still learning.]
BTW I hate Astras - the silly way the indicators worked on the one I was landed with for a few months put me off for life, though the rest of the car was OK.
Mirrors should be all you need to park a vehicle! I've got an HGV licence (and am only 5ft 1) and you don't get sensors on those, just mirrors, practice time and developing your judgment. However, this came via lessons!
I really would just spend £20 for an hour with an instructor and tell them 'I'm crap at parking, sort me out'. I did this on the bike as I was crap at slow, tight turns and spent half a day with my previous instructor doing just that, in car parks, on slopes, etc. Now I don't worry about them. Every manoeuvre is just technique - get them to refresh your technique and THEN get out there and practice.
Put it this way, if you were trying to park next to my car, I'd rather you were confident in your training and just practising the technique rather than faffing around getting it roughly right and possibly scraping my doors or mirrors!!
Nothing wrong with parking sensors- I have to park in some funny spots sometimes and could do with sensors!
I don't agree with parking sensors at all... Surely if you need those then you need more experience parking without them!
OP test drive it and see how you feel but I'll bet you'll be fine!
We have front and rear parking sensors they are excellent and I would from now on consider them an essential part of a car, and factor it in to the purchase price. They are just the beepy ones. We have an "estate" car at the moment and I did struggle at first with it, but it does get easier.
I considered a driving lesson to help me with parallel parking, but in the end, I watched quite a few clips on you tube which really helped. I'm now quite a good parker if I do say so myself! My biggest "lightbulb moment" hehe would be that it's all about the mirrors when getting in close, I did always use them, but now more so and sometimes I adjust them when parking to get a closer/better view of the curb.
You shouldn't notice any difference in size between a 307 and an Astra, we're talking 21cm difference in length (about 8cm for the 3 door Astra) and 8cm in width.
Why does he need a bigger car? I don't understand how doing lots of miles equals big car
Short wheelbase contributes to an uncomfortable ride; small cars tend to be at the cheaper end of the market, so cheaper materials and less comfortable seats; small engines are revving higher at motorway speeds, so noise and vibration are increased, which can increase fatigue.
Thanks so much to everyone who has replied.
Driving lessons- can't afford given we've just spent a bit of money trying to repair the peugeot which ended up being written off and now need to fork out the expenses for a new car, it's not financially feasible. In any case I'm not sure I'd benefit from them because I feel I just need more road experience/confidence rather than to learn anything new. My spatial awareness has always been weak. I am a cautious driver, just not great in tights spaces and parking mainly.
Parking sensors sound brill- does anyone know what they cost?
LessmissAbs, the
ugly, unfeminine looks change of car is worrying me but I thnik i'd adapt quicker to a similarly sized car. Obviously the Astra is not a big car but just bigger than what we had. I'm going to test drive one tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.
Man up, OP! I'm the same size as you and drive a BMWX5 and 7.5 tonne horsebox. I'd hate to be thought as somehow handicapped and able only to drive small fluffy cars due to being small. I'm perfectly capable, and I'm sure you are too. Get a car with parking sensors if its a real problem. ps a Vauxhall Astra is not a big car. I suspect its the change of car thats worrying you more than the size.
if you are 'not the best driver' (and good on you for admitting it!) then you need to sort this whatever car you drive. Consider some refresher lessons.
we all have to be the best drivers that we can be (not the fastest, the safest, smoothest and most economical).
If it is any conselation Op - I have an astra and my dad can't park it for toffee Give him a mini or a range rover and he is as right as ninepence and will squee either inot a tiny space - but the astra is not his bag.
Every car is different to drive and you soon get used to them. I was lucky as when I past my test I got to drive a different car every day for about 4 months due to my job - so don't find it a worry being given a different car to drive.
I would suggest taking any new car out and have a few drives around and taking through 5 bar gates and tight spots to learn how wide the car is and learn how long the car is.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
OP at 5ft tall you're not actually tiny, you need to buy a car that has a seat that you can adjust to actually fit you.
And as other posters have said the very fact that you are bumping and scraping into walls means that you should take more lessons to ensure you are safe to drive.
I second the call for more lessons. You shouldn't be having bumps and scrapes (at least not plural - anyone can make a mistake) - you are a qualified driver!
I've been driving for quite a while but on holiday recently I booked a small hatchback and got given a large estate (they had lost our booking so we got what was left). I drive a 2 seater at home so this was by far the biggest thing I had driven. It was tricky to manoeuvre in the tiny hotel car park, but it just took a bit of vigilance and a few more wiggles to get it where it needed to be.
OP I'm a biker and the concept of getting further training once you've passed your test is quite normal amongst the biking community. One or two lessons in your new car with an instructor will help sort your issues - they'll give you confidence.
OP I booked a driving lesson when we upgraded to a big new car, DH thought it was ridiculous but it's one of the best things I've done - i think everyone should have to have a refresher. After just one lesson my confidence soared. It made bags of difference to my driving.
I felt exactly the same after years of only driving small cars and getting a large car. I thought there'd be a period of transition where I gradually got used to the large car.
There was no period of transition.
I got used to it straightaway!
The astra is slightly bigger (about 10cm in width and 20cm in length) however I think you would get used to it quickly. I had an Astra estate which I loved and never had a day's problem with it. I wouldn't necessarily say to do more driving lessons (although they won't do any harm) but just spend some time in an empty car park practicing manouvers.
I went from a Ford Ka to an Astra estate and now on a Ssanyong Rodius (similar to Chryslar Grand Voyager) and it was fine.
OP - should you be driving, balanced on cushions? is that safe?
An Astra is prob smaller than your current car? I've got a 3 door Astra and previously had a 3 door 307, and would have said 307 was bigger? Anyhoo, you'll be fine! Within 5 mins you'll be totally settled, I agree with your dh in that I wouldn't want to frequently
drive round the country in a micra / ka type car.

President Barack Obama and Pope Francis pose a dramatic contrast of men and their goals for humanity. One can learn much by observing the two men, watching how they treat others, and contemplating what they say, what they write, and what they do.
Pope Francis addressed the people gathered in front of St. Peter's Basilica on Easter Sunday. The following is an excerpt on love and peace from the "official English language translation" of what the Pope said.
And so we ask the risen Jesus, who turns death into life, to change hatred into love, vengeance into forgiveness, war into peace. Yes, Christ is our peace, and through him we implore peace for all the world.
Peace for the Middle East, and particularly between Israelis and Palestinians, who struggle to find the road of agreement, that they may willingly and courageously resume negotiations to end a conflict that has lasted all too long. Peace in Iraq, that every act of violence may end, and above all for dear Syria, for its people torn by conflict and for the many refugees who await help and comfort. How much blood has been shed! And how much suffering must there still be before a political solution to the crisis will be found?
Peace for Africa, still the scene of violent conflicts. In Mali, may unity and stability be restored; in Nigeria, where attacks sadly continue, gravely threatening the lives of many innocent people, and where great numbers of persons, including children, are held hostage by terrorist groups. Peace in the East of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and in the Central African Republic, where many have been forced to leave their homes and continue to live in fear.
Peace in Asia, above all on the Korean peninsula: may disagreements be overcome and a renewed spirit of reconciliation grow.
Peace in the whole world, still divided by greed looking for easy gain, wounded by the selfishness which threatens human life and the family, selfishness that continues in human trafficking, the most extensive form of slavery in this twenty-first century; human trafficking is the most extensive form of slavery in this twenty-first century! Peace to the whole world, torn apart by violence linked to drug trafficking and by the iniquitous exploitation of natural resources! Peace to this our Earth! Made the risen Jesus bring comfort to the victims of natural disasters and make us responsible guardians of creation.
Dear brothers and sisters, to all of you who are listening to me, from Rome and from all over of the world, I address the invitation of the Psalm: "Give thanks to the Lord for he is good; for his steadfast love endures for ever. Let Israel say: 'His steadfast love endures for ever'" (Ps 117:1-2).
President Obama can learn much by contemplating these simple words of Pope Francis. We live in a historically interesting and challenging time. Important history will be made, and President Obama and Pope Francis will have major roles in directing the outcomes to Good or to Evil. We hope and pray that Good will prevail.

*Every year, we lose members of the African American family that have been instrumental and encouraging to our lives.
Those that have used their talents to increase our lives are worthy of remembrance and this year the list is filled with dynamic individuals of note.
Vesta Williams and Heavy D were huge shocks to everyone and both had mysterious deaths. Their music is an integral part of our life's playlist. Joe Frazier will always remembered as the man who handed Muhammad Ali his first defeat. Nathaniel D. Hale, more popularly known as "Nate Dogg", was instrumental to rap, but also used his life to help young men and women through a christian mentoring program.

So today I discovered that I look pretty much exactly the same as I did when I was nine. That was a weird moment for me. I mean, has my face really not changed at all in the past 7 years?
I've actually been thinking along this vein of change quite a bit lately. Its something imminent and definite about life, there will be change. You will change. Your loved ones will change. Your circumstances will change. I'm not somebody that fears change, in fact most of the time I embrace it because its not controllable and I don't see the point in resenting something that's outside my circle of influence. Not that this stops me from resenting certain things, I am only human.
I also don't always like the new things. Sometimes the past is better than the present simply because of the comfort invested in it. Newness often means a level of uncomfortableness that causes me to do things that I don't normally do. In this way change forces me to grow. I'm someone who says they enjoy being outside of their comfort zone, but sometimes I turn around and realize that things haven't changed in a while and what I thought was uncomfortable was really just the usual.
Change is good. I like change. Sometimes change annoys me and we don't get along, but then I'm forced to ask myself whether I can control the change. When I realize I can't, the only thing left to control is my reaction. I can complain or I can enjoy every moment, comfortable or uncomfortable. Its up to me. I choose to be thankful for change.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."

Southern Rep led all other theater companies with seven awards spread out among three different productions: Bat Boy: The Musical and In Walks Ed (three apiece), and House of Plunder. But beyond that, there were plenty of other companies represented, including Rivertown Rep, which snagged two awards.
The Iguanas, who in 2003 enjoyed what many believe was a career renaissance, earned awards for Best Roots Rock Band and for its brilliant CD, Plastic Silver 9 Volt Heart. The band performed a song from the album, adding to a night of amazing performances from nominated artists and productions. The clincher was the closing performance, a tribute to Lifetime Achievement Award in Music honoree Harold Battiste. Donald Harrison and Nicholas Payton presented the award, then joined Ed Anderson, the AFO Next Generation and fellow special guests Allen Toussaint, Aaron Neville and Teedy Boutté for a medley. Musical numbers were performed by the casts of Bat Boy: The Musical, Five Guys Named Moe, and Hello, Dolly! as well as by Shades of Praise, Big Sam's Funky Nation with Troy Andrews and Zion Trinity, Bingo!, and Timothea with Theresa Andersson.
The biggest winner of the evening, though, had to have been Entertainer of the Year Deacon John, who pulled off a trifecta of sorts by also winning for Best Male Performer and Best Rhythm & Blues Artist.
Honorary chairpersons for 2004 were the Pfister Sisters for Music and Carol Sutton for Theatre. Sutton acknowledged the arts community's support for Gambit Weekly theater critic Dalt Wonk, who has been recovering from a heart-related illness at his home and hopes to return to work soon. And Gambit Weekly publisher Margo DuBos and Gambit Communications chairman Clancy DuBos presented host Harry Shearer with a first-ever Best Master of Ceremonies award for having helped host the awards ceremony since 1997.
Sadly, two of the awards were presented posthumously. Anthony "Tuba Fats" Lacen, whose group the Chosen Few won for Best Traditional Brass Band, died of a heart attack Jan. 12. He was 53. Soulja Slim, who won for Best Rap/Hip-Hop Artist, was murdered last November. He was 25.
Following the ceremonies, the Stooges led the group to The Howlin' Wolf for the Celebration Bash after-party with entertainment by Davell Crawford's funky band.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Foundation for Entertainment Development & Education. This year's gala was sponsored by Southern Comfort, Gambit Weekly, John Jay, WGNO ABC 26, WB 38, Mardi Gras Productions, Clear Channel Radio, Abita Beer, the House of Blues, Tipitina's Foundation, Rodrigue Gallery and the City of New Orleans Office of Arts & Entertainment.

[Christianity] Gay bishop on way to win
:===Begin Quote===
The Episcopal Church moved one step closer to making history Sunday when an
openly gay man won the first of two votes he needs to become a bishop.
After an hour of sharp debate, the church's House of Deputies voted 128-63 in
favor of Bishop-elect V. Gene Robinson's confirmation, with 25 deputies
undecided. Robinson will face his final hurdle today when the church's other
governing body, the House of Bishops, votes on his confirmation.
The New Hampshire clergyman would become the first openly gay bishop in a
mainline denomination.
Those who opposed Robinson's confirmation argued it would split the Anglican
Communion, a global alliance of 70 million people in churches that trace their
heritage to the Church of England.
They said the Episcopal Church would lose its moral authority by capitulating to
the prevailing view of modern society.

TMNT, and introduction
By Valiant Paladin 2 Comments
I'm sure anybody that cares has seen this trailer already, but I just wanted to say I'm VERY pumped about this movie. I've been a fan of TMNT ever since I was a wee lad, and I can't wait to be able to see this on the big screen again after all these years! Though it isn't exactly as cool as the goofy live-action-stunt-men-in-rubber-turtle-suits,
it's still makes me think back to all the days I spent glued to the TV or playing with my sewer playset and turtle trolls and turtle pizza throwers and jumbo turtles and... you get the idea.
I guess I went in to a rant without even saying, I've been on this site for almost 2 hours now, and I think it is amazing! I've just been running around the pages like a little kid in a toy store!
well, I'm off to watch LotR and read some old TMNT comics.

Lookalike audiences are one of the most powerful features available for Facebook advertising. Basically, instead of relying on your own marketing smarts to determine and target your ideal demographic, you leave the work to a fancy computer algorithm. You give Facebook a list of your customers (or access to your website customers), and Facebook generates a group of people who "look like" your customers. Because Facebook has access to huge amounts of information for each user, the audiences it generates can be rather sophisticated.
At Ideas Money Art, we have had great results with lookalike audiences. Compared to other methods of targeting, ads using lookalike audiences gain the best click-through rates and the most conversions.
How to Create a Lookalike Audience on Facebook (from a mailing list)
This tutorial will focus on making lookalike audiences based on mailing lists that you already have. You can also make lookalike audiences based on the group of people who visit your website. In order to do so, you'll need to grab a conversion pixel from Facebook (Tools > Pixels > (Make sure you're in the "Custom Audience Pixel" tab) > Create a Pixel) and place it in the <head> section of a webpage on your website.
One other way to make a lookalike audience is to make it based on your Page followers. I wouldn't recommend this, since they're likely not as good a representation of your real customers as a website audience or a mailing list.
Step 1: Go to Audiences in Facebook Ads Manager.
Step 2: If you haven't already created a custom audience, create a custom audience. Facebook bases lookalike audiences on pre-existing audiences.
Step 3: Create a custom audience based on your customer list.
This means you have a list of emails, phone numbers, Facebook user IDs, or mobile advertiser IDs that you can give to Facebook. Facebook will then try to match the information you give it to Facebook accounts.
Step 4: Give Facebook your list. You can either upload a data file (like a spreadsheet) or just copy and paste your list.
If you do have a spreadsheet, you may need to get rid of extra data in that spreadsheet so that Facebook can read it. My suggestion? Go into your spreadsheet and select the column that has the info you need (like emails, for example). Then copy and paste that column of data into a new file to upload to Facebook. Make sure that you "Save As" a .csv or a .txt file. These are the only file types that Facebook accepts.
If you happen to have a MailChimp customer list, you can easily import that list directly from MailChimp.
Although it will upload immediately, your list may not be ready to advertise with for several hours. BUT, you can go ahead and make a lookalike audience with it.
Step 5: Now that your custom audience is uploaded, make a lookalike audience.
After you upload a custom audience, Facebook will ask you about "next steps" (see image below). This is where you can go ahead and create a lookalike audience. Click "Expand your Audience."
If you decide later that you want to go back and create a lookalike audience, just click "Create Lookalike Audience" from the drop-down bar on the Audiences tab and proceed from there.
Step 6: Choose a country and size for your lookalike audience.
If you want to target people in multiple countries, you'll need to make more than one lookalike audience.
The "size" of the audience tells you how strict Facebook will be when it goes about trying to find people who are "similar" to your list. To find people who are more similar, choose a smaller audience. If you care more about quantity, choose a larger audience.
Some experimentation is good here. I test audiences of various sizes against each other to see how they perform. If you're really unsure, I suggest start with a smaller audience.
Step 7: You've created a lookalike audience! Take a break while it populates.
It may take several hours before your lookalike audience is ready to use. You can check the status of your audience in the Audiences tab. You can now use those audiences either by…
- selecting that audience under the "Audiences" tab and clicking "Create Ad", or
- clicking "Create Ad" in the top right hand corner of any page in the business manager, and then, in the targeting section, click the text bar next to "Custom Audiences." This will give you a drop-down menu of all your custom audiences, including lookalike audiences.
Remember that your lookalike audience is based on the entire national population for the country you selected. So if you want to make sure you're only targeting local customers or customers over a particular age, you'll need to specify those measures on top of using the lookalike audience.
That being said, I find that lookalike audiences tend to work better when left to their own devices. You can run an A/B test to verify this for your own company, of course, but I find that when I try to add target demographics to the lookalike audiences, they do not perform as well as when I let the lookalike audience run without additional parameters.

These Sacred Sites tours sometimes include England, Egypt, Greece, Scotland, Brazil, Central Mexico, Ireland, and even sites within North America. During these tours, we often gain private access to sites rarely experienced and the attendees receive several hours of private teachings from Michael Mirdad.
Our Next Tour Schedule is: TBA
Our Last Tour Included:
Sacred Sites of Greece, Egypt & Italy
Cairo, Egypt: Great Pyramid, Luxor, Abydos, Valley of the Kings, Dendara, Karnac, Saqqara, The Sphinx
Athens, Greece: Acropolis, Parthenon, Temple of Poseidon, Delphi, Patmos
Italy: Assisa, Rome, Florence
The tour fee is approximately $5,000, which includes:
- Airfare from Major port (East coast)
- Several meals

WIN-bledon love story: Odds 10/1 Andy Murray will propose after tennis victory
IT'S been billed as the battle of the tennis power couples.
Today's Centre Court showdown between Andy Murray and the man known as "Baby Federer" is about more than a place in the semi-final. There is also a race to the altar.
So, while defending champion Murray slogs it out with Grigor Dimitrov the real battle will be in the players' box.
With the All England Club awash with talk of proposals, the eyes of the world will also be trained on the girlfriends.
Andy and Kim are the new Wills and Kate. Punters are convinced it's a case of when, and not if, Murray plucks up courage to get down on one knee
Maria Sharapova, Wimbledon champion in 2004, has been the hottest property in women's tennis for years. Now the Russian's blossoming romance with Bulgarian Dimitrov, 23, is the talk of SW19.
While Maria, 27, has been the world's highest paid sportswoman for the past decade, amassing a fortune estimated at £30million, Sussex-born Kim Sears can ace her for quintessential British beauty and charm.
Murray is widely tipped to make an honest woman of Kim, 26, if he seals historic back-to-back titles come Sunday. He is odds-on at 2/7 to beat Dimitrov and 5/2 to repeat last year's heroics by winning Wimbledon.
Last night, Ladbrokes quoted odds of 10/1 on a Murray proposal by the end of Wimbledon and 4/6 by the end of the year.
His opponent was priced at 20/1. The chances of either of them getting down on one knee on Centre Court after the match? That's a 100/1 shot.
Spokeswoman Jessica Bridge said: "Andy and Kim are the new Wills and Kate. Punters are convinced it's a case of when, and not if, Murray plucks up courage to get down on one knee."

Ireland have much to do
O'Connell claims they are a long, long way from World Cup glory
Paul O'Connell has admitted Ireland are a "long, long way away" from winning the Rugby World Cup after last week's defeat to Wales in Dublin.
Captain O'Connell revealed the analysis session following Saturday's 16-10 home defeat to Wales laid bare the size of Ireland's challenge in chasing their best-ever World Cup campaign this month.
Ireland's veteran lock conceded "you wonder almost why you're playing any more" when coming to terms with Test match defeats and attempting to reverse fortunes.
Ireland face England at Twickenham today before opening their Pool D campaign in the World Cup by taking on Canada in Cardiff on September 19.
"I'd love to win a World Cup but it's a long, long way away now," said O'Connell.
"And I'll tell you, the Monday morning after the Wales game, when we reviewed it, it felt a long, long way away as well.
"For me I don't think there's any value in me or us getting distracted by that.
"I think the week after you lose you wonder almost why you're playing any more, and Monday was tough.
"After the Scotland game, I thought we were going to put a whole lot of things right, unfortunately we didn't and you just find out a lot about how far you have to go.
"So we need to get those things right this weekend and start building now, so winning the World Cup, it would be great but it's very much not at the forefront of my mind."
Ireland sit second in the world rankings thanks to two consecutive RBS 6 Nations titles, and hopes are high head coach Joe Schmidt's men can reach the semi-finals for the first time.
Wales coach Warren Gatland was at his mischievous best in midweek, claiming neither England nor Ireland can afford to arrive at the World Cup off the back of two straight Test defeats.
One of Saturday's sides are almost certain to do exactly that, after England lost 25-20 in Paris and Ireland slipped up to Wales.
Former Ireland coach Gatland's cute comments were not lost on O'Connell - but the skipper refused to be drawn into the war of words.
"I didn't hear what he said but he's entitled to his opinion," said O'Connell when quizzed on Gatland's comments.
"You'd love to go into the World Cup having won, but if you don't win, you just deal with it and get on with it.
"From our point of view, it's about putting together certain things that help us play well.
"We recognise those when we lose and we recognise those when we haven't done them when we win as well.
"I think even in that Scotland game, there would have been a whole lot of things we would have loved to have done better as well even though we came out the right side of the result.
"So that's the big emphasis for us as always. There's always a few things we need to do really well that leads to a big performance and we'll be eager to do those this weekend. Hopefully that leads to a big performance and also a result."
Graham Rowntree insists England can win the World Cup despite possessing a team whose best years lie two to three years in the future.
Rowntree, the Red Rose forwards coach, was responding to comments made by Rob Andrew in which the Rugby Football Union's professional rugby director stated the current squad will not reach their peak around 2017-18.
Rowntree, who declared "our World Cup starts tomorrow", accepts the squad is still early in its development cycle but does not view that as an obstacle to claiming the ultimate prize over the next two months.
"As Rob said, we know that we can win a World Cup with this group of players. And that excites me," Rowntree said.
"This team will only get better and better with experience. I can see that from working with the guys day in, day out.
"We will absolutely get better with experience and we will be become more experienced in three years' time."

One result of those long hours of study, besides the degree, is his new book Holy Rewired: Science, the Gospel and the Journey Toward Wholeness released in May 2010 by Missional Press (also my publisher).
Holy Rewired is an exploration of science and scripture, neurology and theology, emotion and redemption. There is much that hearkened back to biology, anatomy and chemistry classes long forgotten. Phillips does a great job of taking material that could easily bog down in endless explanations of neurons, electrons, protons (and Klingons?), rendering it easily accessible. His step by step walk through of memory, emotion, plasticity and rewiring of the brain was as informative as much as a year's subscription to Science.
Working through the book one might think that Phillip's conclusion would be a hodgepodge of Freud, Skinner, Erickson and Mary Shelley, but that person would be wrong. Rather than opting for a naturalistic explanation for human behavior and need, he rightly lets science speak where it can then turns to God for the fuller truths of human existence; we cannot experience lasting change without the gospel of Jesus Christ. He writes:
Because of the Fall, humanity does not truly know who it is, and before any behavior can change in the deepest levels of life, a person has to replace [his or her] rebellious and prideful identity (p. 107).
…Jesus talked of the process as becoming a little child. He used these phrases to remind the disciples that entering into the kingdom requires a new birth, becoming young, having a faith that is child-like in its simplicity and devoted trust. It is a new way of living…Through [the] re-birthing process, we not only are God's child, positionally, but we become his child relationally (pg. 118, 119).
I recommend Holy Rewired for those who deal with past issues which distort a biblical view of self, those who are dealing with sinful or harmful habits in the present and those who minister to people so involved. I also think it has a very relevant place in the work of recovery groups as it hits at the core of the addicts struggle: Who am I in Christ? or Who can I become in Christ?
Holy Rewired can be purchased at Amazon.com through the link below. You pay the same low price and I get a small commission. For an autographed copy, you may order through David's website.

Fire-stricken Champaign family lacks funds to relocate
By: Shelley Smithson

By: Shelley Smithson
CHAMPAIGN – Members of a family whose house was seriously damaged in an electrical fire Monday say they cannot afford to rent a new home because their landlord refuses to return their damage deposit or refund the remainder of January's rent.
The landlord said she will return some of the money, but notes she has a month to do so.
Trinidad Morales' family – which includes her husband, 2-year-old daughter, pregnant sister, brother-in-law and 1-year-old nephew – is now sleeping in a friend's living room. Morales' other two daughters were visiting their sick grandmother in Mexico when the fire occurred and cannot return to Champaign until the family finds a new place to live.
A fire that started in the attic of the rented home at 1309 Sunset Drive, C, destroyed one bedroom and left the rest of the three-bedroom ranch home damaged by smoke and water. Three days after the fire, Christmas decorations still hung on the walls, and a toy sat in the doorway covered with soggy insulation. Clothes and furniture in the other two bedrooms were smoky, but otherwise undamaged. "But we don't have a place to take them," Morales said.
"We don't have any money," said Morales, 25, who works at Taco Bell. "We just paid the rent – $675."
Morales spoke through an interpreter at the East Central Illinois Refugee Mutual Assistance Center in Urbana. The center assists immigrants such as Morales, who moved to Champaign from Mexico 10 years ago.
Morales said she gave a $300 deposit to the property owner, Dawn Carley, when she rented the home more than a year ago. After the fire, she asked Carley to return the deposit and a prorated amount of January's rent – about $435 – because the family can no longer live in the house.
Carley said the deposit was only $200; she said she has already offered the family $150.
"As soon as I know how much is due to her, I will give it to her," Carley said. "I have to find out when she's going to get her stuff before I can finalize how much she can get back.
"Legally, I have 30 days from the time she vacates the property."
According to city officials, a housing complaint was investigated at the residence in 2005, but the city told The News-Gazette it needed to file a Freedom of Information Act request to view the report. The newspaper filed that request on Friday afternoon.
The American Red Cross paid for Morales' family to stay in a hotel for three nights. The family is now living with friends to save enough money for a rental deposit, first-month's rent and other moving expenses.
The night of the fire, Morales said, the lights started to flicker before the family went to bed.
Champaign fire officials caution residents to notify an electrician or their landlord if lights begin flickering since that can indicate serious electrical problems.
Morales said she was reluctant to call her landlord because previous problems, including a malfunctioning furnace, had not been repaired.
Carley insisted that the furnace did work and that other repairs were also made. She also said Morales removed smoke detectors. According to a city fire report, no smoke detectors were found in the home. Morales said she never saw any smoke detectors in the home.
The city's report says, "No smoke alarms were evident in the home, although there was an empty wall mount outside the room where fire was found."

More than 60 people – including entire families – have been sentenced to 89 years in jail, following a crackdown on drug dealers and criminals.
These are the sorts of people who ruin lives with their anti social behaviour, stealing and drugs in our communities.
Arrests and convictions were made in all six towns in Sandwell and the wider Black Country.
Many of the offenders were related, including mothers and sons, in-laws, siblings and cousins who were ruining other people's lives.
We worked with the police to tackle these issues after residents raised concerns about drugs in their neighbourhoods.
I would like to thank the police, our council staff, the other organisations we work with and members of the public who have helped us to take action against these people.
As well as 89 year's-worth of prison sentences, offenders were ordered to do 370 hours of unpaid work in the community, fined over £1,000 and given various community and drug rehabilitation orders.
Our message is clear – council tenants face eviction if they commit crime and deal drugs.
We've already evicted one tenant following this campaign, others may follow and some have left their homes knowing what's coming.
You can report crime to police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Always call 999 in an emergency.
You can also report anti social behaviour to the council on our website.

Poll: Would you read a Next Generation Read-the-Books Fic by me, after I finish the 'Wrongs of the Past' series? Vote Now!
Author has written 3 stories for Phantom of the Opera, Harry Potter, Vampire Diaries, and Once Upon a Time.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to all who have favourited or alerted my story.
Question: The title to "The Wrongs of the Past" was originally supposed to be temporary until I could come up with something better, so if anybody has any ideas of suggestions, I would love to hear them, or do you all think I should just leave it alone? Let me know!
There will be a sequel to the 'Wrongs of the Past' series. It will be a long time coming with sporadic updating at the most, but there for those who want to skip the reading the books part in the future.
If anybody has any ideas for titles, let me know!
Updated: 08/02/2012
Huge apologies for the extended hiatus. I'm taking a break from writing fanfiction and it is unlikely that there will be regular updates until the summer due to my important life-changing exams coming up.
Thanks for sticking with me through it.
Updated: 23/10/2012
I know I said I'd update over the summer but I was far too busy, but now that I have moved into college and have settled in fairly well, I'll have more time and motivation to write. I don't think I'll update straight away, however, as the quality of the writing in "The Wrongs of the Past" makes me cringe. I figure I'll do a major rewrite on what little is there, then continue the story.

The SBAG is proud to announce Sara's Gift, a fund which will provide assistance to families or individuals affected by Spina Bifida to attend various educational classes and programs both locally and nationally. Each year, the Board will provide a stipend to one or more persons affected by Spina Bifida to attend a Conference or educational class to help in underwriting registration and/or travel expenses.

1999 Water Wheel Cabernet Sauvignon

- Closure: Cork
Water Wheel lost its cherry trees this year - the winter rains and poor drainage on the cherry block caused the roots to drown. It comes as a bit of a personal blow, because we always enjoyed the box of cherries that turned up with the Cabernet Sauvignon delivery, none the less, the Cabernet is here, and it is yet another outstanding result for Peter Cummings. Opaque black crimson colour - as solid as one can imagine. The nose displays superb lifted Cabernet fruit aroma. Pungent head filling notes of blackcurrant, liquorice, spice and vanilla. The palate is totally mouthfilling - a concentrate of blackcurrant, spice, chocolate and liquorice - the fruit flavours are very much to the fore front, and supported by quite firm tannins, which are the hallmark of Cabernet - dry, yet inspite of thier firmness very necessary to support the huge ripe fruit flavours. Very long aftertaste of plum, spice, liquorice and blackcurrant. Cellar 5-8 years. VERY LIMITED STOCKS.

|It's 7.7 inches tall, 4.8 inches wide, .5 inches deep. It was 11.2 ounces. pretty much the size of a small book. It is a little thicker than the Kindle, but has a removable battery and expansion slot which may account for the extra space.

[Plugin: jQuery Image Carousel for WordPress] multiple carousels on one page
Hi Just wondering how do I go about setting multiple instances of the jQuery Image Carousel for WordPress..
At the moment, when it appears on the one post it works GREAT!
But when I view multiple posts on a page and most have the carousel attached only the first post with the carousel appears to work.. I know I need to set multiple ids for it to work, but how do I implement it?
Any help would be muchly appreciated.

I have a mongodb collection with following data:
So, I'm using the user ID to filter the content to user that is subscribed, however, how do I for example filter the data.Let's say I have 3 trips, 2 of them are in February (date XX.02.XXXX), how do I achieve that?Also if anyone knows, some good meteor beginner level tutorials, I have coded in C# and JAVA, but never tried making a web application. (Yes, I know, there's ASP.NET, but no.. Meteor seems the best for me).
It's not usually recommended to store dates as strings. However, if you want to do that and make your life easier for filtering/sorting etc, I suggest using ISO8601: it's a standard and is less ambiguous than "dd.mm.yyyy". This allows date representations such as "2017-02-13" and "20170213", both of which are naturally ordered using left-to-right string comparisons.
Your filter for February could then look something like:
MyCollection.find({ date: { $and: [ { $gte: '2017-02' }, { $lt: '2017-03' } ] } });
That's equivalent to: date >= '2017-02' && date < '2017-03'
date >= '2017-02' && date < '2017-03'
One other thing you should do is to add an index to date, or performance can take a big hit on large collections.
Thank you very much. I've changed it to have years, months and days separately, not as one string.

Ashley's Sports Direct bows to public pressure
Sports Direct International said it will look into its corporate governance as part of a wider review of labour practices, bowing to investor concerns after chairman Keith Hellawell faced a call to resign.
Sports Direct said it deeply regrets "serious shortcomings" in warehouse labour practices and issued an apology in a statement yesterday, the day before what is likely to be a highly charged annual general meeting.
The review will take place over the next 12 months.
The company is trying to assuage concerns of investors, who are running out of patience with the embattled company and its billionaire founder Mike Ashley.
On Monday, Royal London Asset Management called for Mr Hellawell to resign, saying that it will again oppose the reappointment of the company's non-executive directors.
That followed public criticism by a group speaking for more than a quarter of independent shareholders.
Yesterday's statement goes further than an announcement last month that the retailer was planning an external evaluation of the board for later this year.
Sports Direct will speak with shareholders to obtain their views, it said.
"It is good news that Sports Direct is responding to public and investor pressure to reform working practices," said Oliver Parry, head of corporate governance at the UK's Institute of Directors.
"It's certainly better late than never, but this is only the first step towards restoring shareholder and employee trust in the management and board.
"A radical overhaul of their corporate governance arrangements needs to be the next step."

Comments about Yamaha PSR-S910 61-Key Arranger Workstation:
I bought this keyboard to be my gigging board to replace another great board, the PSR 3000. (That board is still kicking after about six years of use, but I use it as my practice board.) I've had the s910 for almost 18 months now and have gigged with it about 80 times. It has worked flawlessly. Listeners are amazed at the realistic sounds and fantastic styles. People who have not heard an instrument like this can't believe all this sound is coming from one 61-key instrument. It truly makes be a "one-man-band."
Comments about Yamaha PSR-S910 61-Key Arranger Workstation:
I consider this purchase a great investment.
I am not a professional musician, but with this key board I sound like it. It was not as difficult to learn the features as I thought it might be.
Sound quality is very realistic.
I bought this particular keyboard because a friend of mine has one and recorded a CD that sounded like it was made in a studio. When you consider what it costs to have a studio recording made, this is really a great value.
Comments about Yamaha PSR-S910 61-Key Arranger Workstation:
The designers of the Yamaha PSR-S910 have really hit a home run with this instrument. I am amazed at the tone quality and number of features that this keyboard offers. The acoustic and electric piano voices (as well as the large selection) are excellent. The ?Organ Flutes? provides you with a graphic representation of a set of drawbars that are fully adjustable as well as other features commonly found on traditional organs such as rotary speaker speed and vibrato. As an experiment I compared various drawbar settings between the Yamaha and my Hammond tonewheel organ, and the Yamaha did a very respectable job at replicating the Hammond sound. The large number of voices and features of the PSR-S910 may be a bit overwhelming at first, but it will get much easier as you spend time playing it. Best of all, it can make a simple tune sound like a million bucks with the auto accompaniment backing.To get a better idea of the capabilities of this keyboard, you may want to view some of the PSR-S900 and -S910 video clips available on YouTube (especially ones from the manufacturer due to better recording quality and talent)I would recommend purchasing a sustain pedal along with this keyboard as you will need it for more realistic piano playing.Bottom line, this keyboard is outstanding!
Comments about Yamaha PSR-S910 61-Key Arranger Workstation:
I have owned many keyboards as well as full size digital pianos, and even had the clavinova 109 which then was the top of the line. This keyboard surpasses everything I have owned. The sounds are so very realistic and the rythems are a beat above all. I love all the music selections that you can play with and you don't even need to be a rocket scientist to understand how to use it and manuver around on it. This keyboard is definetly a home run out of the park on this. Yamaha has put together a great instrument at a very realistic price and Musicians friends can get it to you in a timely manner with no frieght cost to you. Much better here than what my local music store could even do. Thanks

I'm using this board for the last one year mainly for church choir. It has got realy good indian kit with real vioce of tabla, Dholak , Dhol, Mridangam(South Indian percussion instrument). If you are looking for these, S910 will be the first choice !!!

This board brought me out of a rut so to speak, I LOVE music, this board is playable excellent tutorials are available. remember Christmas morning as a child waiting for Mom or Dad to say come on children. Thats the feeling I have with the PSR S910. Thanks YAMAHA and thanks Musicians Friend
I think this board speaks for itself. its loaded
Yamaha has always been excelent, I've played them since the two piece with strings and hammers, I think it was a CP 70.most recent boards CP300, S90EX and now the PSR S910
Allways @ Musicians Friend

I couldn't believe how bad the keybed on this unit was. The touch response was terrible, even when adjusted as best possible. The keys were very cheap and flimsy feeling. Notes dropped off when using the sustain pedal. It was difficult to play white notes when also playing black notes when you moved your hands up on the whites notes(between the black ones), as you have to really push the white notes very hard to get them to play. I couldn't believe Yamaha would sell such a board, especially at the price rate quoted. Check it out before you buy.
