text: I got an email from Audi today - they're doing their annual big up quattro thing. This article on their website, explaining the relative benefits of each system, was interesting: quattro < Our technologies < Audi innovation < Audi UK Is it just me or are they blatantly anti-RWD because their main rival is the only mainstream manufacturer to produce primarily RWD cars. Can't argue with how good quattro is, but come on, RWD is awesome in most situation outside of wet/snow, especially if you love driving. And I know what I would rather correct in terms of oversteer or understeer.

Although today's weather is quiet and mild for New England, a battle is shaping up between cool Canadian air and much milder air moving toward New England from the south.
While today's highs in the 70s and fair sky surely doesn't indicate this developing battle of air, incoming disturbances focused along the boundary of cool and warm will result in a few isolated late day sprinkles in Central and Southern New England, then steadier rain overnight tonight in Northern New England.
Although warm air mostly wins in New England on Tuesday, the notable exception will be the State of Maine, where a chilly northeast wind will remain stubborn, keeping clouds, showers and highs only in the 50s for most of the state and some of Eastern New Hampshire likely will see cooler air, as well.
For the rest of us, Tuesday's warmth won't just be exceptional, it should be record setting for some – particularly in Connecticut and some of Massachusetts. By Wednesday, most of us will see milder air – but that's about it: it's October and very tough to get record-setting heat to stick around long.
By the end of this week, temperatures drop, though thankfully that change comes with an increased chance of much needed rain ahead of a cool shot of air to last this weekend into next week, through the end of the exclusive NECN Early Warning Weather 10-day forecast.

Hi Everybody,
I have a Turnigy 2s 3300mAh, and I want to throw a JST connector on it to easily connect it to the TBS Core PNP25. My flying wing doesn't exceed 12A. I have a bunch of JST connectors with 22AWG wire lying around, which unfortunately cannot take 12A. I only need the wire length to be about an inch or less (for ease of soldering to the battery 10AWG wire).
My question is this: Is it OK to use the 22AWG wire because of the small length being used?

So, I'm in the Montclair district in ... what ... Oakland ... Piedmont?
First time I've ever been there and I go by this place that has a sign ... Grinders Submarine Sandwiches ... well, fine ... but what's the name of the joint ... oh ... it IS Grinders Submarine Sandwiches.
The parking gods are not kind and I'm forced to do a drive-by ... ironically I never saw the joint 20 minutes earlier when I was next door at Monclair Malt Shop ... it was not meant to be.
This might have been a good thing ... I look up the place on the web and get all this sandwich Nazi stuff.
Not that strongly worded but here's an East Bay Express blurb which says you better know what you want before you step up to the counter and place that order. THEN you better answer the questions in the EXACT order they are asked ... or else according to the EBE "he'll let you know when you've committed a delicatess-sin"
The choices are meticulously entered in a computer to be retrieved on your next visit ... yeah, I wouldn't have been in the mood to play today.
I guess the irony is they go through all this computer hassle and they don't have website or an online menu.
So how's the sandwiches? The word 'grinder' is what attracts me. What is good? Is it possible I can get a toasty sub on this side of the bay as good as Submarine Center in SF's West Portal? How's the meatball grinder?

What's Hot? Give it a "LIKES UP" and Take Notice!
You can thank me later for what I am about to share – it is so HOT!!!
HOT New Google Pixel Best Smartphone of The Year
"Google has hired a veteran chip architect away from Apple and is now looking to build its own chips for future versions of its flagship Pixel phone, Variety has learned from sources familiar with the hire. Manu Gulati, who had been spearheading Apple's own chip developments for close to eight years, joined Google in the last few weeks. He publicly announced the job change on his Linkedin profile Tuesday morning, stating that he now works as Google's Lead SoC Architect."
The first phone with the Google Assistant built in is the Google Pixel. Jay McGregor at Forbes says that performance remains lightning fast, which is particularly apparent when escaping into Virtual Reality worlds with Day Dream. The overall build quality is solid. It feels rugged despite being light, slim and crammed full of functionality. The Google Pixel XL it nails almost every area: Battery life, performance, camera, build quality, innovation, sound quality and overall design, among others. The more check marks in the boxes, the higher it scores.
The camera is exceptional in a smartphone. The app is lacking some manual controls, but the fact that auto mode produces near perfect results means limited manual control doesn't really matter. The battery life is also the best tested this year. Jay reviewed the phone three times.
The high price $869 for the top XL model, but in Jay's option the Pixel justifies it. Not least because there isn't anything majorly wrong the Pixel XL. In fact, it's all very good. It's the perfect all-rounder and they only come along once in a blue moon.
The battery that is the stand-out performance feature. I've forgotten what it's like to have to constantly worry where your next charge is coming from. It remains the one area that's yet to advance, which is thanks to the few developments in battery technology.
The Pixel is getting 18 hours between charges with medium use during the day, including music, browsing and gaming on commutes, and leaving it to rest overnight without plugging in. A couple factors are at play here; Android's improved power management and Doze 2.0, which conserves battery when the phone isn't in use or physically moving. Can you imagine going to bed with 60% battery left after 12 hours of medium usage?
The Pixel X has integration of Assistant, fast updates and security patches and minimalist UI gives the Pixel XL the cleanest – and most efficient – Android experience on the market.

new to fluent; where to start?
hello friends, i am new to fluent and cfd. please guide me from where should i start my work on ic engine simulation
Re: new to fluent; where to start?
Start from the fluent GUI, everything is given in logical order or need (from left to right). Look at the menus and try to understand what each is for. Try to gather the answers from manuals, or from other people who have experience with fluent.
Take a very small mesh, say 1000 cells and do some experiments with it. Untill you feel you are comfortable with it.
Re: new to fluent; where to start?
I will do some tutorials. Although you won't understand it totally it's a good way to get use with fluent iterface.
Re: new to fluent; where to start?
Re: new to fluent; where to start?
I would support the use of the Cornell tutorials. I really like these and will devlop some others in time.
One thing that is really important is a willingness to 'stand back' from all the 'button pushing' and ask yourself what does it all mean?
I.e. what was the purpose of xx etc.
That way you will not be too tied to the buttons/interface of fluent but gain a better understanding of the cfd methodology.
Good luck

Boeing executives like to point to union strife as their main reason for moving jobs to non-union South Carolina. But as Seattle Times business columnist Jon Talton points out, it is strife of their own making:
As a manager, I supervised union employees for years. It's easy, especially with professionals. Unless, of course, you are determined to continue redistributing income from the middle class to the very rich while rubbing the union's face in it. And that appears to be Boeing's strategy in dealing with the Society of Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA). The savage spirit of Jack Welch is alive and well in Chicago.
It's not often that I have the opportunity to type these words about a Seattle Times column, but read the whole damn thing.

DJ Shadow The Mountain Has Fallen"
Today DJ Shadow has released a surprise EP called The Mountain Has Fallen via Mass Appeal Records. The EP features collaborations with Nas, Danny Brown, Academy Award-winning composer Steven Price and a brand new solo composition and is available now via all DSPs. The physical version of the album will be available August 18th.
Listen to The Mountain Has Fallen EP in its entirety here: https://DJShadow.lnk.to/TMHF
The Mountain Has Fallen starts with Systematic, DJ Shadow and Nas first-ever collaboration together. The song debuted during the season premiere of HBOs Silicon Valley in April. Horror Show finds Shadow and Danny Brown collaborating for the first time over a jagged, haunting soundscape. Good News is a brand new composition, reminiscent of some of Shadows more free-form, fractured work found on 2016s The Mountain Will Fall full-length.
The EP closes with Corridors, a piece featuring Academy Award-winning composer Steven Price (who scored the Gravity film). Shadow is a massive fan of his work, and Price wrote and programmed the string parts on the song.
"From the start of my last album, I envisioned collaborating with other instrumentalists who operate outside of the bass and hip-hop realms, ultimately working with the amazing Nils Frahm and Matthew Halsall. Like many, I had always been enthralled by the soundtrack for the film 'Gravity,' and went about connecting with Steven purely as a fan. I was overjoyed when the opportunity to combine on a song came to pass. His ability to harness orchestral elements and join them with a sound design aesthetic made my contributions seem almost effortless, which is the mark of a fruitful partnership." DJ Shadow, on Corridors
Turns out sometimes you should meet your heroes. Working with Josh to create Corridors, hearing musical ideas and phrases come back to me twisted and skewed through the filter of his unique sensibilities, was an amazing experience. The mark of a good collaboration is when the track heads off in a direction you could never have imagined when working on your own, and no one puts a track together like DJ Shadow. It was an honour to work with him. Steven Price, on Corridors
The Mountain Has Fallen comes on the heels of a tremendous year for the legendary DJ and producer. He performed at Coachella 2017, marking his fifth appearance overall at the festival. He recently launched his KCRW show called Find, Share, Rewind, which airs at 10PM the first Saturday of each month. His extensive The Mountain Will Fall tour continues through 2017 and has seen him circle the globe more than once since launching in 2016, with recent dates in Australia, Japan and Europe. He will finish his 2017 dates in London in October. Shadow released his latest feature album The Mountain Will Fall via Mass Appeal Records to raves last year, which lead to a performance on The Tonight Show with Run The Jewels. The music video for that track, Nobody Speak, just won the 2017 A2IM Libera Award for Best Music Video.

> Interviews > Industry Updates > Manufacturing > Toys
Hong Kong's toy industry is emerging from the doldrums of the past few years' with increasing emphasis on product design, quality control and improvements in the supply chain
Although 99 percent of all Hong Kong toy exports are re-exports of products from a manufacturing base which over the years has gradually shifted across the border to China, Hong Kong still remains the world's number one toy producer.
Of all the toys, dolls and games exported, Hong Kong is still responsible for the product design, logistics, quality control, production control and exports, without which there would be no manufacturing. In a nutshell, Hong Kong remains, as Daniel Poon, assistant chief economist at the TDC puts it, "the mastermind of production activities across the border."
According to the latest available government figures, the industry's gross output was HK$467 million in 2001 and the number of people directly employed by the trade in Hong Kong was about 32,500. However, in the same year, total exports - including re-exports - reached HK$75,318 million creating employment for a much larger number of people.
"I'd say probably 200,000 people [are employed] including all the related industries, such as logistics, transportation, printing and so on," says Samson Chan, chairman of toy industry giant Manley Toys Ltd and of the Hong Kong Toys Council.
Back on the mend
It goes without saying that the past few years have been tough for the economy and Mr Poon says the toy industry has suffered as much as any.
In 2001, exports plummeted 18 percent following the bursting of the IT bubble and 9/11, compared with a 7 percent gain in 2000. In 2002, widespread corporate scandals and the looming threat of war in Iraq affected American buying sentiment and figures were down by two percent. This year things started badly with the Iraq war and just when it seemed things could get no worse, we were struck by SARS.
"Actually, it wasn't such a problem with repeat orders, but new orders were hit hard for a while," says Mr Poon. "Buyers, mainly from the US, were not prepared to meet Hong Kong companies because of the risk of SARS. From June, the US and Europe resumed contact and so there was a glimmer of hope - a lot of companies have caught up and in the first seven months of this year we've seen a rise of four percent. Overall, SARS had minimal impact and has mostly just delayed deals."
While the US economy has not performed well and exports have dropped six percent or so, exports to Japan and Europe have increased by an estimated 14 percent and 24 percent respectively.
Stable course of development
The future of the industry, at least in the medium term, seems bright. "In the toy industry every year there's an increase of a few percentage points," says Mr Chan adding, "If it rains, it rains for everybody."
"There'll be an emphasis on pre-production," explains Mr Poon, "Hong Kong will remain the control centre, a service economy." Large companies, which have set up camp in China, still need Hong Kong services, even though they have no actual presence here. SME's also need an office here. "We can still maintain competitiveness in the medium term as more overseas companies express interest in China. To achieve more, we need more emphasis on product design - it's essential to our activities here."
A big advantage the industry enjoys over the garment industry, is the minimal amount of trade restrictions. Mr Poon says, "Tariffs are quite low. The US is free and there is no quota restriction, whereas garments are restricted."

The introduction of e-commerce, Mr Poon says, has brought about some unforeseen changes in supply and demand practices. "Business to consumer transactions are increasing. Although currently only around two percent of all sales in the US are online, it is making a difference."
Traditionally, stock levels and delivery times were consistent and it was easy enough for retailers to re-order when stock dropped to a certain level. Now, it's not so simple, and the pressure is on local companies to improve the supply chain. Furthermore, recruitment is focusing more on IT based positions.
According to Mr Chan, the main employment opportunities will be in product design and toy engineering, mostly based in China. "Definitely, today in every industry you have to travel to China," he says.
Toy trends
Smart toys are currently top of the Christmas list for a lot of kids around the globe. These are interactive toys, some of which link to the Internet. They are very customisable and offer the buyer a feeling of uniqueness.
Licensing is another potential gold-mine, with movie series tie-ins such as Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. This year also sees the welcome return of one of the biggest merchandising stories of the 80's, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, thanks to a new TV series.
The video game market is steadily increasing and offering more opportunities for companies in Hong Kong and China. Collectible toys appear to be gaining popularity among adults and seniors, particularly in the US, Germany and Japan.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Jason Garrett's offseason has not only been about finding players to improve the Cowboys on the field. Last weekend Garrett spent time with Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski to help improve himself.
Krzyzewski allowed Garrett to observe the Blue Devils in practice and a game and spent time talking about the coaching profession, even if there is not much carryover between basketball and football.
"We literally could talk about this for five days, I learned so much," Garrett said. "He has an amazing way of creating an environment that is so organized, so systematic, so seamless; the execution and everything they do is off the charts. He also has this amazing personal touch with everyone involved in the organization. He has a personal relationship with everybody. He cares deeply about everybody. They care about each other.
"It's a combination of IBM at its finest moments and the greatest mom and pop shop you've ever seen, and he puts it together. I sat there for three days and was really amazed by it. It inspired me a great deal."
The meeting was set up by former Cowboys running back Calvin Hill, who serves as a consultant to the team's player development program. Hill's son, Grant, starred for Krzyzewski, before heading to the NBA.
Garrett said there are other coaches from other sports he would like to speak with, but nothing has been arranged.
"There is so much to learn and there is so much to benefit from to see how people who are successful do things in or out of football, in or out of sports," Garrett said. "You can learn from it."
Whoever is next will have a hard time in matching Krzyzewski in Garrett's eyes.
"We are not trying to be Duke basketball, but it's a good model to how an organization functions," Garrett said.

Friends and Family Loan
Fund your big idea with a true peer to peer small business loan.
A True Peer to Peer Business Loan
The average cost of starting a business is $30,000 (Source: SBA). Since it's impossible to qualify for a loan without financial history, most early-stage businesses look to their friends, family and fans for capital.
Build a peer to peer small business loan funded by your friends, family and fans in a way that protects your dearest relationships while allowing you to focus on growing your business.
Grow the Right Way
95% of startups are funded by friends, family, and fans. Able provides a way to formally structure these relationships.
Protect Your Relationships
Don't turn your friends and family into debt collectors. Use Able to streamline your payback process and legal agreements.
Raise More Money
Our platform allows you to invite your network to fund your business helping you raise more money.
Raise Money Faster
With our managed process, you can get your supporters comfortable quickly, and get the deal done faster.
Build a Custom Loan
Startups need to optimize their cash-on-hand. We provide you with a way to design a flexible deal that supports your growth plans.
Businesses that have borrowed from Able share a common bond. We can share advice and support one another. Able's like an extended family.
The Able platform and team were a huge asset in the initial stages of our growth. The support from our backer and the able platform made a scary process very smooth. We are extremely grateful!
Get Funded and Retain Control
Trading equity for cash sounds appealing, but not when it comes with the cost of giving up ownership in your business.
Friends, family, and fans who fund your Able loan don't take equity so you can:
- Retain the vision for your business.
- Choose who to involve in key business decisions.
- Fund your business for sustainable growth, not an exit plan.
Graduate to More Capital
- Able monitors the performance of your business across the life of your loan.
- Once your startup reaches $100,000 in revenue along with 12 months of operations, Able amplifies the amount of money you initially raised.
- We scale our capital with your growing business and everyone wins.
Common Questions
What are the loan amounts for a Friends and Family Loan?
Friends and Family Loans range from $1,000 to $1,000,000.
What are the loan rates for a Friends and Family Loan?
Start allows you to build your own loan terms, rate, and payment structure including a grace period and months of interest-only payments. You can build your loan here. Able charges a one-time origination fee for loan management. There are no prepayment penalties.
How much of my Friends and Family Loan do I need to raise from outside friends & family?
One-hundred percent of Friends and Family Loans are funded from friends, family, and fans.
Who can be a backer in my Friends and Family Loan?
A backer can be a friend, family member, advisor, or customer who believes in you and your business.
Who can't be a backer in my Friends and Family Loan?
A backer in your loan can't be people without a valid U.S. bank account; people not legally domiciled in the U.S.; the business entity; anyone with whom we are legally prevented from doing business with; and anyone who we suspect presents a risk of money laundering or other illegal activities.
Can you provide some tips on how to recruit backers?
Yes! We will help you strategize who to ask and give you marketing materials you can use to explain your business and Able.
What is minimum and maximum contribution per backer for my Friends and Family Loan?
Our minimum is $1000. There is no maximum contribution for a backer.
What interest rate do backers charge me for my Friends and Family Loan?
You can work with each backer to agree on the rate charged. The minimum is 2% and the maximum is 25%.
How quickly can I get my Friends and Family Loan?
Once you've raised all your backers, it typically takes a little less than a week to fund.
What is the loan payback schedule for a Friends and Family Loan?
Friends and Family Loans are repaid monthly to your backers, and payments include the principal loan amount and interest. The monthly payment amount is equally amortized over the loan's term unless you choose to have months of interest-only payments or no payment. You can build your custom payback schedule here.
How soon will my backers be paid back for a Friends and Family Loan?
As you pay back your loan each month, Able distributes principal and interest and payments to your backers. You can build your custom payback schedule here.
What if I want to repay my Friends and Family Loan early?
You can repay your Friends and Family Loan at any time before the terms ends without any prepayment penalties.
What happens if I default on my Friends and Family Loan payments?
In the event of default, Able works with you to restore good standing. If restoration is not possible, your backers will lose any unpaid principal and interest.
How is this different from crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is raising a little money for a lot of people without any promise of repayment. Able is raising a lot of money from a small group of people with a promise of repayment (and interest!).
Can I contact Able with questions?
Yes, we welcome questions and feedback. Chat, email, or call us at 512.222.5425.
If I'm self-backing, can I still chose my interest rate?
Yep. You can go as low as 2% and as high as Able's rate (we do it this way to prevent adverse tax consequences to you).
What are the loan terms for a Friends and Family Loan?
Start allows you to build your own loan terms, rate, and payment structure including a grace period and months of interest-only payments. You can build your loan here. Able charges a one-time origination fee for loan management. There are no prepayment penalties.

{pictured above, lovers and their two-lips}
May has always been my favorite month. Of course May 27th is my favorite day of the year when I get gluten-free cookie cake and chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, but all the days are really quite wonderful. School comes to end, the anticipation of true summer lingers. Smells of sunscreen and pool water taunt you as you wait for your first dip. Graduations and weddings {which we know the real fun is getting a new dress for the occasion} and temporary goodbyes for the three months of fun. Celebrating mom, catching up on long-lost sleep and relearning the remote to operate that thing they call TV.
May I tell you… I love it.

No wait, don't answer that...
On the contrary. Humans expire just like copyrights. What are they going to sue, the person's heirs?
No wait, don't answer that...
And so would the amount of damages they could (potentially) claim.
Which basically means that the RIAA can stop publishing music altogether and just turn itself into a consortium of lawyers. After all, with infinite future income (from damages) guaranteed by Congress and Disney Corp., how can they lose!
However, it doesn't matter anymore. Technology will always provide a solution to "get around the system." Even now, Kazaa Lite and many others have changed their system so that it protects users against the RIAA for now. And once the RIAA breaks that, another protection will exist. You can't fight a system that goes underground.
The fines aren't between $750 and $150,000 per offense. These people are being sued for that amount in civil court cases. The vast, vast majority of these cases aren't criminal cases, they're civil. Huge difference. If they were criminal cases you'd pay a fine and go to jail for a while, but you'd also get a court appointed lawyer if you couldn't afford one and have the option of a jury trial.
In a civil case there's not much for a limit on damages and no governmental checks and balances on what those limits are. So basically the RIAA can almost literally sue the pants off you for doing something that doesn't physically hurt anyone and just has minor monetary effects on their being. Isn't America great?
Should have read THAT on the contract before signing.
Except that next time you check, it will be 100 years. If you check in 10 years time, that is.
Basically, anything post Walt Disney will NEVER stop being in copyright.
In a sense, RIAA is betting on the right horse. They'll win their big jackpot 118.58 times faster than I'll do.
Michaela says that as if she expects that they won't. Oh, yes. They will. They've developed a company called Life Extension (LE) that will store their physical bodies while allowing their minds to roam free, suing P2P users, their children, their children's children, etc.
Hey babe, let me show you how a man calculates all this: After whipping out my sliderule and factoring in the size of the aforementioned subpoenis', I come up with 2200.25, a much bigger number.
3. Local exchanges. Even more extreme than a private network, people might make direct device-to-device copies. Go over to a friend's house and download their entire music collection to your laptop.
News flash- people are already doing this. It beats all the hassle of searching for a file and then ensuring its quality, and then filing it in the right place with the rest of the songs by that artist/album/mp3_bitrate_trackname. If you have a fried with a computer (I bet you do!) and you have $200 to spend [outpost.com]
A successful [software] tool is one that was used to do something undreamed of by its author. -- S. C. Johnson

Puerto-Rican American Latin jazz flutist Dave Valentin passed away today, March 8, 2017 in New York City.
Valentin was born in The Bronx neighborhood in New York City to Puerto-Rican parents. At 12 he started playing the flute and received music lessons from Hubert Laws.
Throughout the 1970s, Valentin played jazz and Latin jazz in various well-known bands. He also released numerous solo albums for the GRP and Highnote labels.
"Dave Valentin was a dedicated flutist and innovator of crossover jazz. Under the mentorship of Hubert Laws, the New York native developed a signature sound by combining the influences of R&B, pop, and Brazilian music to create a specialized form of Latin jazz," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy. "After his recording debut with Ricardo Marrero's group, he went on to collaborate and perform with Tito Puente, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, Bill O'Connell, and Dave Samuels, among others. In 2002 he teamed with Samuels for the Caribbean Jazz Project album The Gathering, which won a GRAMMY® for Best Latin Jazz Album. His 2005 album World On A String and 2011 album Pure Imagination each received Latin GRAMMY nominations for Best Latin Jazz Album. Our thoughts go out to Dave's family, friends, and fellow colleagues."
In March of 2012 Valentin suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed and unable to perform.

Remember, "la petite mort" is just a euphemism.
A lot of wonderful things can come as a result of sex: reduced anxiety, a boosted immune system, the creation of Idris Elba. But according to The Coital Coronary over 11,000 people die during sex each year.
In Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science & Sex, a German research team sampled 21,000 autopsy reports and found 39 cases of sudden death from a heart attack during sex. "Except there was a hitch. In the majority of those cases, the, ah, subject, was having sex with a prostitute. Either sex with a prostitute is especially taxing to the heart, or something else is going on", writes Esther Inglis-Arkell for i09.
Inglis-Arkell notes, "What's probably happening, in the end, is the lack of any reason to do an autopsy on someone who died at home in bed with their partner. There are probably three times as many deaths from sex with a partner as there are from sex with a prostitute."
So, to avoid dying during sex (or life for that matter) just keep a bare minimum degree of physical fitness and your prostitute escapades to a bi-monthly basis and you'll be right as rain!

Let me start by saying that we pride ourselves in keeping thousands of people a year from drinking and driving. We are very thankful people appreciate the service we provide and the value it offers the community.
This being the first post and all, I thought I'd start by explaining what separates us from our competition and why we feel so passionately about what we do. 'Anyone can drive' but when you reserve a tour with us it is so much more than someone driving you from one place to another and letting you off at the curb.
Our team is a highly educated group of fascinating locals who love what they do. We thrive on bettering our community and bonding with our neighbors to make the Santa Ynez Valley a wonderful place to live and work.
It is such an awesome felling to go to the grocery store or out to breakfast, lunch or dinner and see so many of the friends we have made over the years. Some are famous, others are legends, there are fresh newbies, but everyone of them is unique. Our valley has a beauty and spirituality that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. It's lovely to live in a place that others come to vacation. It is an exceptional treat that we have World Class Wines and great restaurants.
Anyways, getting back to the 'Anyone can drive' theme, most of our competition comes from out of town. They come up and do their thing and then they leave and go home. This is truly a big factor in what makes us stand out. We spend our money here, we live here, we shop here, we support here! Everything we do, we try to remind ourselves to serve our community. We donate thousands of dollars in wine tours annually to a variety of non-profit organizations, as we feel it is only right to give back to the community that provides for us.
Taxi cabs are operating illegally if the tell you they can do a wine tour, they don't have a TCP number(Transportation Carrier Permit). Taxi's are not regulated by the State Public Utilities Commission and only regulated by the local municipalities. They are only allowed to pick up fares on a metered basis. They are not allowed to give you a pre-determined rate or conduct sightseeing or other types of tours. They are not the same as Limo or tour companies.
Be wary of these companies. Look on line at the Public Utilities Commission website to find further information. We pay large fees, hefty insurance, conduct 45 day vehicle inspections with the CHP, registered with the DMV Pull Notice program(random drug testing), and follow many other rigorous protocols to be safe and legal.
Please look up tour companies before booking a tour to make sure they are not operating on a revoked or suspended permit. CA PUC Lookup

Irelia - The Season 3 Stomper
Irelia Build
Winning lane: AD
Losing lane: AD
Winning lane: AP
Losing lane: AP
Situational armor
Situational Magic resist
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I've been playing Irelia since the last nerf. I didn't exactly love her, but since the Blade of the Ruined King buff, she's really back into the game. She's going to be seen a lot season three, I can already tell. However, this is just a really basic guide that's still partially under construction.
The reason I pick the runes that I do, is because of the simple fact that a first blood puts their lane behind, not to mention it causes Irelia to snowball into a HUGE threat.
The reason I pick these masteries is because Irelia is mean to jump onto their carry, and beat his **** in. So, the tankiness of these masteries, and the damage they give really helps her out during fights, and keeps her alive during trades.
Oh boy, I put a lot of situational item builds, and such, and the reasoning behind them in the builds themselves.
Skill Sequence
The reason behind this is the fact that she can really do a lot with her W. Her E is used for utility, to stun, etc.
Using Irelia's W to your advantage whilst trading is the main idea of her. As well as her on-hit nature.
Pros / Cons
Extremely strong mid-game
Can be build tanky, and still do damage
High mobility
Decent utility
Easily loses if played incorrectly
High skill required

iOS7 users : The current version of Honk may crash when you try to access the built-in Help mode by pressing the Spade button on the top-right corner of the screen. The fix is ready and will be soon available as the update. Please bear with us. Thank you.
Two most common issues some of the new users of Honk encounter:
Map Problem: Check this out
Alarm Problem? The solution may be found here.
Now back to the regular help section for everybody:
What's New section summarizes recently added features. It also shows cool features for finding your parked car and syncing alarm with your iCalendar.
Check FAQ section for all the features of Honk that are not obvious for casual users.
There are four buttons at each corner of the main screen that may not stand out against all background images.
The Diamond button on the top-left corner of the screen activates the clock display of the set alarm. The clock view momentarily appears whenever you swipe to set the meter. This button gives you the option to keep it visible always. Tapping on the clock area again will cancel.
The Spade button on the top-right corner of the screen activates/deactivates the Help mode. In the Help mode, Honk will offer a brief explanation for most of the explanation-worthy buttons when you press one. To switch back to the normal operation, press the red Spade again.
The Clover button on the bottom-left corner of the main screen manually cycles through all the background pictures. Normally, the picture is chosen depending on the hour of the day.
The Heart button on the bottom-right corner of the main screen is for you to save your beloved and also support us.

Should you switch out your items seasonally? In my opinion, if you have the space --NO!!
If your closets aren't overflowing, then don't recreate the wheel. Why waste time if you don't have to. My closets remain the same day in and day out. My gloves and scarves live happily on the coat closet shelf.
I always hear the question "But I am not using it right now". As Paul McCarthy says "Let it be".
If you are living in tight quarters, then a seasonal switch might be necessary. Some city closets are just too tiny!! So if you have to switch out clothes, do it right. As with any organizing project, store like with like. Bin or box up your items. Label them clearly.

CFX4.2 multi-fluid model
I have two questiona about the CFX multifluid model: 1. In the CFX multi-fluid model,the convection term in the momentum equation is
Clearly the viscosity ¦Ìa is the value of single phase.If the concerned phase is gas or liquid ,there is no confusion.But if solid kinetic model is used ,is there a single phase viscosity value? For example,one use the Gidaspow¡¯s theory to calculate the ¦Ìs,the ¦Ìs is the single phase value just analogous to gas phase or it has included the effect of phase fraction ra. 2. In the gas phase,some term in the shear stress is absorbed in the pressure. This term is (2/3¦Ì-¦Î)div(U).If the gas phase is incompressible in single phase,this term is equal to 0. Can the single phase incompressible conception be extend to multiphase model,and just set this term and the similar term in solid phase to 0.
best regards,

Once a ceremonial or advisory role, the chairman of the board is challenging the CEO as the most important position in an organization. But, while much has been studied and written about the characteristics and motivations of the top executive, little is known about the individual in charge of running the board of directors responsible for the organization's governance and long-term sustainability. Who are they? Where have they come from? And what are their plans and ambitions?
A recent study for the INSEAD Leading from the Chair Programme, including a survey of 118 chairs of medium and large company boards from 30 countries, reveals that the job of the contemporary chair is very real and hands-on, requiring close interaction with board members, company management and stakeholders.
The leadership and authority of today's chairs are defined not by their past performance in executive positions, but by their actual work. They are engaged, agile, strategic and continue to learn. In fact, while the majority of respondents stated they wanted to become chairs to put their skills and experience to productive use, many said they were motivated by the opportunity to continue learning and develop new competencies. Very few (less than five percent) noted prestige and compensation as key motivating factors.
Predictably, the majority of the respondents (91 percent) were senior men – in terms of age and experience – although the age does seem to be declining, with 41 percent being less than 51 years old, making them younger than the CEOs of most large companies. This trend is expected to continue as the role increasingly requires higher levels of energy.
Motivating factors
Surprisingly, age difference had very little impact on what motivates people to become chairs – although younger chairs did put more emphasis on learning opportunities, while seniors emphasized the opportunity to use their skills.
Most respondents were well-educated; 72 percent had a Master's degree, 17 percent a PhD and 11 percent a Bachelor's degree. A majority hold, or have held, CEO positions and a good number had previously served on many boards as directors. In fact, it is this two-fold experience that seems to be the main path to the chair.
Almost a quarter could be classified as celebrity chairs, i.e., they currently preside over three or more boards of directors. These respondents were generally older and the new reality is that companies today require some degree of exclusivity from their chair – or, at least, a limit on the number of companies on their portfolio.
Earlier this year, Tesco named John Allan – who was then chairman of both housebuilder Barratt Developments and card-processor WorldPay – as its new chairman, on the condition that he quit his role on the board of Dixons Carphone, his positions of non-executive director of Royal Mail and senior adviser to consultancy Alix Partners. Allan also agreed to step down as chairman of DHL once a successor was found, but will continue as chairman of Barratt and WorldPay for the foreseeable future.
While demands for a more engaged board has changed the role of its chair in some respects, the lack of gender diversity is still evident. Less than ten percent of respondents to our survey were female. The study also found that female chairs were more experienced and better educated than their male peers, suggesting that only women with outstanding qualities made it to the very top.
On the whole, they were older than the males polled (two-thirds were above 61 years of age) and had more formal education (40 percent had PhDs). They were less likely to have held executive positions and appeared to draw on traditional sources of power, such as age, experience, education and academic achievement.
Challenges for today's chairs
Another point of interest was the similarities between different types of chairs, in terms of challenges they face and how they organize their work. We had expected that chairs from privately owned companies and public companies with diverse shareholdings would have different challenges and working methods. This was not the case.
The chair's two major functions are to organize the board to enable directors to perform and to communicate with key stakeholders on behalf of the board, but the reality today is more complex. In some organizations, the chair takes on key executive functions, like government and public relations management, investor relations, and customer and vendor management; in others, the chair asks the board to rubber-stamp the management's or the owner's decisions.
The top four challenges facing today's chair are maintaining good relationships with the controlling (or larger) shareholders; managing difficult board members (which can be particularly problematic on boards made up of high-performing, strong-willed individuals successful in their own right); maintaining a level of collaboration and teamwork amongst these individuals; and processing large amounts of information about the organization.
According to one survey participant: "The information challenge is enormous. I accept that I will never have the same information as management does. I deal with it by picking key indicators and ratios and following them, by asking the CEO to produce a monthly information memo to the members of the board and by having him talk about major events at the beginning of every board meeting."
Surprisingly, challenges such as "low motivation and absenteeism of board members" and "insignificant time commitments of board members" – often cited as major obstacles to board work in academic and business literature – didn't seem to worry our respondents. This may reflect the fact that boards have become more engaged and directors more responsible and involved.
Financial incentives
While challenges are similar, there is great diversity in the levels of financial -incentives offered. Predictably, company size has some impact on the chair's compensation, with almost half of small companies paying less than $50,000 a year. However, the other half pay more than $1 million a year – as much as medium and large companies. This reflects the fact that the "market" for chairs is not well-developed.
While not-for-profit organizations in general reward their chairs modestly, remuneration is otherwise defined not by organizations, but by the capabilities, experience and market value of the individual, regardless of gender. Chairs seem to be a unique commodity and, when it comes to what they're paid, they call the shots.
Contrary to expectations, chairs who are members of controlling families do not receive significantly higher incomes than other board leaders. From a governance point of view, the chair should be proposed by the nomination committee and elected by the board. The reality, however, is that shareholders play a decisive role in finding and selecting a future leader of the board, making sure they have in the position someone they know, trust and can predict.
Glencore ended a long search for a chairman by picking Tony Hayward, the chief executive of Genel Energy. Hayward had acted as interim chairman at Glencore since its takeover of miner Xstrata a year earlier. Despite being forced out of BP after the Gulf of Mexico disaster in 2010 and vilified across America, Hayward had the support of Glencore CEO (and major shareholder) Ivan Glasenberg, which helped secure him the job.
Having personal and professional relationships with directors and executives appears to be the best route to the role of chair, although the picture for women is somewhat different. In this case, a professional affiliation with board members is the most frequent channel, followed by being directly approached by -shareholders and, more surprisingly, replying to an advertisement.
If we draw an aggregate portrait from the survey, the typical chair is a 55-year-old man with a Master's degree, who has been a CEO, VP and independent director. He currently sits on three boards and chairs one. Importantly, most chairs are, on average, more satisfied with their personal contribution than that of their boards, which reflects a high level of self-esteem.

Helga Deen, is a 32-page graphic novel with based on a true story created and directed by the international award-winning director Dario Picciau and award-winning writer Roberto Malini. Helga Deen is an Holocaust Victim and the authoress of a diary, which is preserved today in the Regional Archive of Tilburg (Holland). She was in the final year of senior school in Tilburg when she and her family were arrested and deported to Vught on April 1st, 1943. "We decided to dedicate a graphic novel to Helga Deen for the symbolic and educational value of her story, the story of her last night at Vught, when the german soldiers pulled hundreds of children from the sheds and sent them, in livestock wagons, to the gas chambers in Poland. Helga Deen, like Anne Frank, has become a symbol of the Jewish girls and women of the Holocaust who in many cases sacrificed their own lives to ease the suffering of the most vulnerable people in the death camps. Helga's story is a part of Humane Society's Heritage and today, more than ever, in a constantly changing world in which human values are being lost, it is important to remember it, in order to understand our present and to contribute to building a just and better future for the next generations". - Dario Picciau To narrate such an important story, White Mouse Publishing and the authors have worked together to apply the impressive visual effects of the Living Comic System® Technology, to the 32 pages the Graphic Novel.

He may be known for stalking the night and fighting some of the DC universe's most deranged criminals and psychopaths, but Batman first saw live-action popularity in the '60s television serial Batman, starring Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin.
After going through eight feature films, multiple video games and countless animation series and/or movies that all took hints from Tim Burton's influential Gothic rendition of the caped crusader in his hit 1989 movie, the more cheerful and adventurous side of Batman is finally back in all of its glory with the announcement of the latest DC Universe Animated Original Movie. Batman: The Return of the Caped Crusaders will see the return of the '60s character versions, in animated form.
Holy Cartoon, Batman!
DC Entertainment just dropped the trailer for the upcoming animated revival of one of the most iconic shows from the '60s and you can check out the trailer here. The trailer has yet to be uploaded on public sharing sites, so the provided link will have to suffice for now.
The minute-long trailer shows the Dynamic Duo tied to a gigantic food tray on a conveyor belt that leads to an incinerator's scorching mouth. As they slowly roll to their deaths, Batman and Robin dispense all sorts of puns, fourth-wall breaking jokes and information about their upcoming movie, including the cast list that includes Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman) voicing their original roles from the '60s show.
Batman and Robin escape their imminent death through the power of hardened syrup, right before telling the audience that they will fight Joker, Penguin and Catwoman on Earth and space. They then run off to the Batmobile while a familiar tune plays in the background. Physical and digital copies of the movie will be available for purchase on November 1, 2016.
Camp Is The New Black
Despite occasionally being dismissed as an aged product of its time, the '60s Batman is still incredibly popular and highly influential among long-time Batman fans. It holds sway over some of the character's various incarnations, as seen in the cartoon Batman: The Brave and the Bold which focused more on comic action than the detective work and brooding that have come to define Batman in recent years.
The old-school Dynamic Duo even saw a recent revival in the form of a well received comic book written by none other than Batman fanboy Kevin Smith. In this story, Batman and Robin join forces with the Green Hornet and Kato to stop the heist of a priceless fossil. The crossover is as crazy and fun as you'd hope it might be.
Compared to more recent Batman incarnations, Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Batman '66 Meets the Green Hornet refused to take themselves too seriously; they have fun with cool gadgets, death traps and super team ups between clean-cut good guys, making fans remember an innocent brand of heroics that seems absent in today's modern superhero scene.
A Lighter Dark Knight
As influential and iconic as The Dark Knight trilogy is, some people held Christopher Nolan's grounded take on Batman responsible for the temporary trend of excessively dark superhero movies that ignored their characters' comic roots in favor of mean-spirited deconstructions. The last straw for critics of this new style was Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, where a violent Batman (Ben Affleck) had more in common with an extreme '90s anti-hero than he did with the hero of Gotham people remember.
In the wake of the criticism and mockery the current DC films have been getting thanks to mistaking "depressing" for "realistic," it looks like DC finally learned what was wrong and is now setting out to balance their live-action movies' more serious tones with lighthearted superhero spin-offs, like next year's The Lego Batman Movie (2017), which promises the same level of tongue-in-cheek humor seen in The Lego Movie being applied to the Dark Knight and his mythos.
There is nothing objectively wrong with a grittier Batman but DC has been taking the character too seriously and at times, forgetting that Batman is still a guy from a comic book who dresses up as a bat to fight crime and get over the death of his parents. Given how pop culture seems to be going down memory lane, the resurgence of '60's camp -now with a newfound sense of self-awareness -is a welcome sight in a time when movies seem to be locked in a gritty arms race where they try to prove themselves to be darker than the competition.
Audiences just need a break from Batman's melancholic brooding every now and then, which is what makes Batman: The Return of the Caped Crusaders even more enticing for fans. Not only could this new animated movie provide a breath of fresh air in DC's current superhero outings or serve as a big nostalgia bomb for those who grew up watching televised reruns of of the '60s Batman (i.e. yours truly), but Batman: The Return of the Caped Crusaders may also remind audiences and hopefully DC itself that Batman - contrary to popular belief - can be fun.
