Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I experienced CS the first time thru my Westcoast trip in the summer of 2008...
We stayed at quite some places all along the westcoast...we always had great people...everybody was different ...everybody was a pleasure!!!
It s just so nice to get to know people from all over the place and the good thing about CS is...yo u don t know the place and you re hanging out with the best guides you can get... Locals!!
Nowadays, I host people and couchsurf whenever I can or rather whenever I am able to travel.
People I met so far... they all enriched my life!! Def!!!
every experience was great... every had its own character!
If you re lucky it s a giving and taking...
I am totally into sports especially swimming.
I love to travel, or even just to read a good book.
I am up for crazy party nights or even a good glass of wine...
I am interested in Arts(even doing/trying it by myself) and I am enjoying to be with my friends
- arts
- books
- wine
- partying
- traveling
- sports
- swimming
Music, Movies, and Books
love Jazz... !!!!!
but actually it pretty much depends on the situation I am in.
not into movies that much I have to admit... which kind of makes me a bad partner for this "did you see this movie?- amaaazing"-conversations.

World's #1 porn site, all-NSFW-everything and your friend-in-need, Pornhub just released its annual trend report. India ranks #4 and looking at the trending searches it's safe to say that we are not surprised at all. According to Pornhub, "Most countries take great pride in their nationality, but India takes it to a whole other level as made evident by their top searches on Pornhub. The majority of searches (top, relative and gaining) include 'Indian'. One top term that came seemingly out of nowhere to make it into the top 10 list was 'Indian aunty with young', flying up to the top by 81 spots. India's own Sunny Leone is, again, the number one searched pornstar in the country and 'Lesbian' makes it to the number two spot in the top categories."
© Pornhub
Here's where we stand against the U.S.A.—where the porn-binging audience still loves Kim Kardashian's sex-tape (yawn!) and some good ol' lesbian porn (interesting!)
© Pornhub
The U.K. is all about giantess (LOL!) and Harley Quinn (scary!)
© Pornhub
India's very own, Sunny Leone, also ranks as the top 5 pornstars in the world. Winning!
© Pornhub
The moral of the story? Sunny Leone as an Indian bhabhi is our ultimate porn fantasy.

The Battle of spreading the Holy Books is more intense than anyone would've thought.
The combination of globalisation and rising wealth is proving to be
a bonanza for both religions. The most prolific producer of Christian
missionaries, on a per head basis, is now South Korea. The biggest
Bible publishing houses are in Brazil and South Korea. An interlinked
global network of 140 national or regional Bible Societies pools
resources to reach its collective goal of putting a Bible in the hands
of every man, woman and child on the planet. The American Bible
Society, the biggest of the lot, has published more than 50m Bibles in
atheist China.
Saudi oil wealth is supercharging the distribution of the Koran. The
kingdom gives away some 30m Korans a year, under the auspices of either
the Muslim World League or individual billionaires, distributing them
through a vast network of mosques, Islamic societies and even
embassies. Go to FreeKoran.com and you can have a free book in your hands in weeks.
Saudi-funded dissemination of the Koran, along with literature
promoting the stern Saudi understanding of Islam, may not have much
direct effect on Christians, or the unchurched. But it does increase
the relative weight, within Islam, of teachings which tend to sharpen
the Christian-Muslim divide. For example, traditional Muslim teaching
stresses those passages in the Koran which affirm the Christian Gospel
and the Hebrew Torah as valid revelations of God and paths to
salvation. But there is a harsher, Saudi-influenced view which insists
that since Muhammad delivered the final revelation, Christianity and
Judaism have lost their power to save.
And that is the branch of Islam that I have the biggest problem with. The Saudi view's prevelance has grown to such a degree that you can never get a straight answer from Imams now on whether or not Jews and Christians are infidels or people of the book. It's kind of like the Milk question and nutritionists: Does any of you know anymore whether Milk is good or bad for you?
I rest my case.
The distortion is of epic proportion, and so is the intolerant attitude. Long gone is the Islam of tolerance and respecting the religious rights of the country's christians and jews. Can any of you name a middle-eastern country where the christian inhabitants don't feel prosecuted by their muslim counterparts? How about a generally Islamic country. Does that work? No? How about we ignore christians and jews, and stick to islamic branches: How about a country where the sunnis don't oppress the shia, or the shia don't screw over the sunnis? I couldn't find one either. Whether we like it or not, Islam has developed a reclusive, closed ghetto mentality, mimicking those who have spent lots of money to turn it this way. But this may end up being their own undoing in the end…
The third big advantage is the West's belief in religious
freedom—guaranteed in America by the constitution, and in Europe by an
aversion to religious persecution caused by centuries of it. The
heartland of Islam, by contrast, is theocratic. The Saudi Ministry of
Islamic Affairs, Endowment, Call and Guidance employs 120,000 people,
including 72,000 imams. Saudi Arabia bans non-Islamic worship and
regards attempts to convert Muslims to another faith as a criminal
offence. Pakistan has witnessed the attacks on Christian missionaries.
Sudan punishes "religious deviation" with imprisonment.
Christian Evangelists complain that this creates an uneven playing
field: Muslims can build giant mosques in "Christian lands" while
Christians are barred from distributing Bibles in Saudi Arabia and
Iran. But uneven playing fields tend to weaken the home players. Open
competition is a boon to religion: American Evangelism has flourished
precisely because America has no official church. And theocracy is
ultimately a source of sloth and conservatism. "The Book and the
Koran", by Muhammad Shahrur, which tried to reinterpret the Koran for
modern readers, was widely banned in the Islamic world, despite its
pious tone and huge popularity.
The stagnation in Islamic thought, fueled by the strict and stringent wahabbi interpretation, has been bearing fruit for the past few years, and we are seeing this in the Fatwas being released by so called islamic scholars. Hell, the majority of the current AlAazhar Ulamaswere previously hired and indoctrinated in Saudi Islamic Universities, which led the majority of them to adopt the more conservative Wahabbi interpertation, instead of Al Azhar's more moderate Al Ash3ary one, which is dying in the institution as we speak. This is why we are now getting Breast-feeding fatwas. Liberalization of Islamic thought and modus operandi may be essential now, but soon enough, with the direction it's been taking, it will be crucial for the religion's survival.

The Arab Initiative to Foster a Culture of Volunteering
The United Nations proclaimed the year 2011 as the International Year of Volunteers (IYV+10). The Arab Thought Foundation adopted this initiative to take advantage of the International Year of Volunteers (+10) and motivate individuals, service organizations, institutions, schools, universities, government agencies and the companies with social responsibility throughout the Arab world to work together in order to promote and enhance volunteering in the region.
ATF Board of Trustees agreed in 2000 to fund the Arab Initiative to Foster a Culture of Volunteering making the Foundation a strategic partner in the Initiative. This allowed the Initiative access to the Foundation's networks in the region on equal terms with its programs and projects. A partnership agreement was signed with the International Association for Volunteer Effort and the Association for Volunteer Services.
- To provide the opportunity to gather key people involved in volunteering action in the Arab world, to urge them to exchange knowledge and experience, and determine the volunteering requirements in the region.
- To increase and develop the main staff of specialists involved in volunteering in the Arab world.
- To build training teams in different Arab countries in order to help establish effective programs aiming at developing the volunteering culture in the Elementary and middle schools, as well as high schools, technical institutes and universities.
- To provide funding opportunities for Arab countries with limited capacities in order to develop sustainable volunteering initiatives.
- To encourage the development of positive national policies for volunteers and volunteering in the countries of the region, providing the relevant information (in samples and support).
- To establish necessary mechanisms for networking, resource development, information exchange, mutual support and cooperation among the ones working to promote volunteering in the region.
The technical activities of the Initiative were completed at the end of 2011. Within the Initiative a study on "Corporate Volunteering in the Arab Region" by Dr. Patricia Mihaly Nabti was produced. The Arabic version of the study was published by the ATF Fikr Center for Studies and Research in November 2013. The study, initially written in English, is considered part of the Arab Initiative to Foster a Culture of Volunteering.

interval training
Fitness / / August 12, 2017
fat burning training
Traditional cardio is outdated.How to replace him?The fitness classes, there is one danger.Sooner or later, I want to throw the whole thing, because, firstly, boring, and secondly, the result is a bit too small in comparison with the effort.Hours pedaling, rope jump, run ... and five extra kilos as they were, and keep, birthmarks.
It's time to stop and ask yourself the question: Can I do something wrong?Suddenly the world is some other aerobics - a much more effective and in addition fun?What it is.Yes, this has aerobic, and it is called the interval.It is necessary to make a reservation, it is a principle.By itself, aerobic exercise can be any: running, biking, swimming, even a dance hall ... The essence of the method is to alternate periods of consistently brutal and low intensity.
Trainings are divided into phases and graphically resemble a sine wave: first load spike, then - the restoration of power, then again to load Ochumelov ... Just say, recovery does not mean that after the march-throw can fall to the side and make a call on his cell phone.No, during the "resting phase" you do not interrupt the class, but only significantly lower the load.
For beginners, this is the optimal scheme: start with intensive cycles of 10-15 seconds, and gradually over time bring them up to 30-90 seconds.But do not tighten the loop for more than 2 minutes!If you are a capable, which means you simply schlock.Remember, the ideal intensity of the "hard" phase is such that you can not make it longer than one and a half minutes!
Interval training with old-fashioned aerobics and can not be compared.It's like, what to put next to the horse and the "Ferrari" is tired of life.Fat-burning efficiency by some estimates up to 6-12 times!In addition, training is compact - a third shorter than usual.And besides her not get bored - there is no time!
Aerobics burns fat, right?It turns out that the longer you do aerobics, the more fat will burn.However, the effectiveness of this fat burning directly dependent on the intensity aerobics.In other words, the faster you run, the better "burns" fat.But that's the whole zakovyrka that with the pace of a sprint distance marathon runner does not run.How to be?The answer you already know: alternate between "fast" and "slow" intervals.As a result of the training you will type purely arithmetically much higher total intensity.In this interval training and leave a much more effective.
But now hold.We will tell you a scientific fact, which is know in advance will be a shock to anyone who has spent many hours of his life on velgoenergometre, treadmill and so on. The fat is visceral and subcutaneous.Visceral - is the one that runs between the authorities and subcutaneous, is clear that, under the skin.So, traditional aerobics actually burns fat, but ... visceral.In this amazing mystery of the provisions, when you sweat on aerobics, scales show weight loss, but your "breeches" especially since nothing is done.
Scientists took once compared interval aerobic training and normal - to attrition.Those and other involved two groups of women with a decent excess weight.Every day, the researchers measured each woman thickness of subcutaneous fat, to evaluate weight loss progress.It turned out that the "interval" group lost fat 9 times faster, and the time spent in the gym is much less: 30 minutes compared to 45 minutes in the company of women, practicing the usual aerobics.moment of inertia
Interval training as "gets" the body that then many more hours on the inertia of living in the fast burning of calories.In other words, a new "variety" of aerobics changes your natural pace of metabolism, due to which your life is turned into a "zhironakoplenie".
beginners in fitness will give the necessary clarification: the main cause of obesity in healthy women - the slow pace of metabolism.It is an innate component, which over the years became worse due motionless lifestyle.The body consumes calories so sluggish that almost all eaten is excessive and turns into fat that is stored in reserve.
In this sense, is not so important how many calories you "burned" for sports training.The main thing is to practice left behind a "moment of inertia", and you would spend the rest of the day in a different exchange rate.Well, the particular rate of metabolism has its own thickness of subcutaneous fat.The higher the rate, the lower the fat!There is not hudyshek slow exchange and plump with a fast.
Today, fitness professionals call to opt out of ad hoc evaluations of training, they say, how cool I was trained today!It is something else: how long your metabolism remained rapid.You have to think in terms of weekly, monthly and yearly cycles.Success will come if every cycle "sports" (or active) days you will have more than a "non-sporting" ... Interval training here knows the competition.It has the longest delayed the effect of so-called"Passive fat burning."
Do interval training is another great plus traditional aerobics "burns" visceral fat, which is very "difficult" energy source, is like damp wood.So that in a long aerobic work the body for the insurance "includes" is also the mechanism of "burning" muscle.Muscle tissue is broken down into amino acids, and are directly sent to the "furnace" of energy.Just for this reason that marathon runners look like they have experienced severe hunger.
If you think that in the fight for the beauty of this effect can be neglected, then you are wrong.Over the years, the aerobic organism time are more willing to "burn through" the muscle, exposing the bone and denying any figure of femininity.
way, the muscles decreases strength and endurance.Just for this reason, many athletes running in sports wear, over the years, turned into ruins of beings.Interval training is not "burn through" muscle.On the contrary, during the sprint you jerk involuntarily activate all his muscles and thereby keep it in good shape.Incidentally, in the above experiment, all of the "interval" group added muscle.
If practice interval training more than three times a week, it is likely to lead to overtraining and even injury.It is impossible to touch and durability.This is an optimal scheme: 5-minute warm-up, interval aerobic exercise for 20-30 minutes and the 5-minute "hitch".
Which program to choose is up to you.Interval scheme is suitable for jogging, skiing, treadmill, bike, veloenergometra, stepper.The ratio of the periods load / recovery depends on your fitness experience.For beginners we recommend a ratio of 1: 5 (minute work, 5 minutes is restored).With increasing fitness levels rest phase should be cut gradually.
But in any case, follow the golden rule: the longer the interval of active load, the longer the recovery period.Before the start of training, just in case, consult a physician.
Individual assessment load (ION)
If you have a great sports experience, you can easily measure the stress level of subjective sensations.Grade for the 10-point scale, where "0" means no effort and 10 the maximum possible effort.At the end of warm-up your effort must match 5 points, at the end of the final exercise, 3 points, 9-10 points - the feeling peak.
Fitness athletes can train the advanced level for such a scheme.Warm up - 5-ball effort, intensive phase - 8-10 points, the recovery - 7-8 points, and the final exercises are performed with effort in a 5-4 score.
Interval training stepper
for this program will suit even stage.Intensive phase - a run up the stairs (or brisk walking).Phase relaxation - walking down or slow walk down.Beginners are recommended at intervals of 10-15 seconds with a quick step.Time intervals should be increased gradually, but they do not have to be more than 2 minutes.For the average level of training are advised to run.
If you feel that it is too easy for you, jump over a step.Measure the ratio of the load level and recovery can be either pulse count as a percentage of the maximum (via heart rate monitor) or on a 10-point scale (PEI).Well, everything is clear with the stepper.Even if the stepper is equipped with a pulse counter, carry out training with their own heart rate monitor - it is more accurate.
|Time (. S)
|5 minutes
|Walking Down
Repeat the cycle for 20 minutes.
exercise bike and treadmill
Interval jogging workouts a better deal in the fresh air, so that as soon as the weather permits, leave the trainers and go out into the street.With an exercise bike is simple - you can sign up for spinning, spend a couple of lessons in a group with an instructor, they also go to a single voyage.
By the way, in the later stages of training, encourage you to practice this method.At maximum load pedal standing up, trying to withstand the usual heart rate of its intensive phase.Get stunningly slender legs and much rounded buttocks.Many computerized simulators are convenient in that they have already laid down a program of interval training.With treadmills in this sense worse, but in any case it can be set manually.

The Redbush Tea Company - Redbush Tea Bags
Tea Bags - Fruit & Herbal - Rooibos
16 reviews from the community
Review of "The Redbush Tea Company - Redbush Tea Bags"
" A Drink with a Difference"
I discovered that I was allergic to caffiene 8 years ago, and although my first concern was that I couldn't eat chocolate anymore, I quickly found that I missed tea and coffee much more.I drank fruit teas instead for several years, but although they tasted great, they never quite hit the spot that a lovely cup of tea used to. I also ran into the regular problem that not many of my friends were able to cater for the weirdo who didn't drink tea or coffee. Eventually when I refused another cup of hot blackcurrent, one of my friends dragged out a dusty box from the back of the cupboard and offered me a cup of black Rooibos tea. I have to admit, I did spit it out, it was so disgusting, but it was from a different company, and well past its sell by date.
A little later I was sent a free sample of tea from the Redbush Tea Company. If I remember correctly the free sample didn't actually mention "rooibos", otherwise I would have thrown it away in disgust. I gave it a go and discovered that it really seemed to hit the tea spot. To be honest, this was several years after I drank my last cup of "real" tea, so I can't really make the comparison between the taste of tea and redbush, but for me it is the closest to tea that I have found.Redbush tea comes in boxes of either 40 or 80. The boxes are red with white writing and have stacks of brightly coloured cups on the corners. The redbush history, instructions and general information is all printed on the sides of the boxes, which makes it a bit wordy. I buy mine from the supermarket, at about £1.70 for forty and £3.15 for eighty. I have noticed though, that the supermarkets close to where I live seem to have stopped stocking redbush; I don't know if this is a national phonomena. Inside the teabags are not individually wrapped like most herbal teas, and they look like ordinary square tea bags.
The box tells you that you can drink the tea "red", with lemon or with milk, just like normal tea. I drink mine very strong with a tiny bit of milk, although I can drink it without milk, something I could never do with ordinary tea. The box says that it has a nutty flavour, but I haven't noticed it - I find it very smooth with a slightly sweet flavour.Redbush has the benefits of having no caffeine, no preservatives or additives and lower tannin than regular tea. I also receive "Redbush News" through the post, and it suggests that redbush is also very good in the bath for excema, and is helpful for digestive problems. It also outlines the good works that the Redbush Tea Company don in South Africa, where redbush grows. However, I have tried to find out whether the company is Fair Trade, with no success. All I can say is that it doesn't carry the FairTrade Mark, but I haven't found a company sells redbush tea that does.
I find Redbush Tea very refreshing and now drink it every day, whenever I would have had a cup of tea. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to cut down on caffeine, and it is worth persevering with. Redbush is an aquired taste, but it is a healthy, tasty alternative to tea.

When people do cooking there are many different equipments that come in use such as fry pan, oven, mixer etc. but nowadays in order to do more perfect cooking and to get a feel of professional cooking, many people make use of the electric griddles.
Nowadays these griddles have become one of the favorite cooking equipment and they come in use in many different ways. These griddles have a large smooth surface on which different things can be cooked. These griddles are mostly used for grilling the food and cooking such food that doesn't consume or need much oil. Griddles have a non stick coating but cast iron can also be used in the making of griddles. To see more about the griddles there are many different guides available on the internet and you can check them to make the best purchase.
What are electric griddles?
In electric griddles heating element is built in by which the surface of the griddle gets warm and you can do the cooking easily. These griddles are considered very ideal for making of breakfast foods such as French toast, pancakes, tacos and more.
One of the best advantages of the griddles is that you get a very large cooking area, so that you can cook lots of food on it at once. Flat surface enhances your cooking because when you make pancakes or something you can easily flip the sides because of the smooth surface. Not only for cooking but it can also be used for warming the food again. So, if you have any party, you pre-cook the food and then warm it by making the use of the griddles.
The electricity consumption is also low as the heat loss is minimum. Thus, you can prefer having it in your kitchen.


text: Hey guys, I was reading the mulching vs bagging post and I myself am getting sick of double cutting the tall spring growth. I only have a 6.5 ft bed and it has a toolbox. I have some general questions though. 1. Which bagging system would be the best for my mower? Hustler makes a 9 bushel clamshell model for $2600 and a dual 3 bushel bagger for $800. 2. How do you guys dispose of the clipping for either model? How do you dispose of clipping with the clamshell model? 3. Would the dual 3 bushel bagger be worth it, or would you be emptying it too often? 4. How do you compost the clippings and sell them? I don't know anything about composting. Thanks for any help and advice guys. -Nick Howard

Ok, ok, I can't go a minute longer without sharing some news with you guys.
Those of you who follow me on Instagram already know that we had an addition to our family last Thursday evening…meet Bogart!
We call him Bogey.
My long-time readers (and pals) know that this is a day I have waited for for years. Joey and I have wanted to get a dog from the moment we got married, and we finally decided to take the leap. (Year three seems like a good time to get a baby of sorts, right?)
We found him on Craigslist (that's apparently where I find everything). He belonged to a couple who lived near us who, to put it nicely, I just don't think were meant to be dog owners. They had purchased Bogey from a pet store, but the wife had recently become pregnant and decided it was too much for her to handle.
Now, I get that dogs are work. That's something I knew going in to dog ownership. It's kind of a thing with dogs — they require a great deal of effort, especially in the beginning.
This couple apparently didn't know that. They also put very little work into his training and rarely took him outside. I know this partly because they told me and partly because the first few times we took him out, Bogart was completely overwhelmed by the outside — it was way too many noises and smells for him to handle at once.
Plus, I took Bogey on about eight walks his first day with us, and he still had energy to burn. So no walks? I can see why he was a handful.
Fortunately, the previous owners weren't bad people (just ill-prepared) and had made sure he got most of his necessary shots and immunizations. They hadn't gotten him fixed, however, so that's something we'll be taking care of in the next week or two. (He's about eight months, so he's definitely old enough.)
Our first night with Bogey was…memorable? All of the changes made it impossible for him to settle down, and he still hadn't gotten a handle on where to pee versus where not to pee.
What I'm saying is, we cleaned up a lot of pee that night.
Because he wasn't quite trustworthy at that point, Bogey was confined to his crate for the evening. He spent about 10 percent of the night sleeping (with the most adorable baby snore) and about 90 percent whimpering. The opening scene of Lady and the Tramp? That was my life. Collectively, the three of us got about five hours of sleep.
But the moment when he finally drifted off and we heard the snores? Joey and I just grinned at each other like idiots because it was so sweet.
I worked from home the following Friday so I could help him get settled. The reason we took so many walks is because (and there's no way to say this without sounding like an UES douche bag) we're using the Dr. Ian Dunbar method of housetraining recommended to me by one of my readers a couple or years ago. Essentially, if the dog goes potty within a few minutes of being taken out, he gets to hang out with the fam. If not, he goes into his crate from 30 minutes to an hour and then he gets to try again. It's supposed to be especially helpful with dogs like Bogart who, for whatever reason, get nervous to pee in front of their owners or pee outside. It took me six trips to finally get him to go, but there has never been a prouder moment in my life when he finally did.
Yes, I know what I just said. I know, you guys.
So we spent the first day taking walks:
Misunderstanding the purpose of wee wee pads:
Having a bath:
Taking a nap:
And helping me work from home:
Honestly, we had the most perfect day. Bogey only had one accident in the morning, and after that we were free and clear. Our eight walks tired him out, so he was especially snuggly throughout the day. Plus, we had out first vet check-up, and Bogey was the picture of health.
Here are a few fun Bogart facts I learned in the first 24 hours:
– he is a champion fetcher — he brings everything you throw right back without a struggle
– he came to us loving wet dog food, but we're mixing it with kibble for the health of his teeth
– he wants to say hi to every single person and dog we meet
– his whole butt wiggles when he's happy…it might be my favorite thing in the world
– his most favorite thing is curling up in someone's lap
Not surprisingly, I'm head-over-heels for him. But what am I telling you for? Just look at that face:
The rest of the weekend went pretty well, too. We've started crate-training him for when we're not home (we fill a Kong chew toy with food and freeze it over night, then let him work on that while he's in the crate — it keeps him pretty busy), and that's going well. He had a couple more accidents, but most of the time lets us know when he needs to go out. We're also working on sit and stay, which he gets a little better at every day. He's also gotten used to the neighborhood and doesn't act as timid outside. And we've all been sleeping much better now that we don't have to keep him in the crate overnight.
As my Instagram account will attest, I really can't get enough of him. I feel like we ended up with the perfect dog for us.
STOP IT. He's so cute. I couldn't tell from IG whether you guys were dog-sitting or had welcomed a little doggy baby, and I'm so excited for you. Please keep the photos coming!! 🙂
P.S. Can we talk about HOW sad I am that Charlie and I are both allergic to dogs??
While the dog is adorable, this comment is to give props to Joey for the Quebec Nordiques hat. A mid-90's retro team in a 2000's green and white style. Well done.
I absolutely love your little guy. He is too cute.
Danielle recently posted..Dear Friday
Ian Dunbar is the best! My dog Pluto has some quirks but none of them involve peeing in the house or chewing on things. You saved an adorable dog from a potentially horrible fate, so extra points to you for that!
Justine, so happy for the three of you, congrats and enjoy!
This is just so so exciting!! We just got our first puppy in February and while he was a lot younger than Bogey, our adjustment experience was very similar. He gets better every week and gosh it is just SO much fun having an adorable pup to take care of. Bogey is TOO CUTE and please never stop posting pictures of him! I can't get over how cute his little nose is! And those ears… and his brown spots. Congrats on the new addition to the family!
Laura recently posted..High 5 for Friday
Congratulations! Bogey is absolutely adorable. I can attest that the Dr. Ian Dunbar method of housetraining works pretty well. My boyfriend and I used the same method when we rescued our dog. Now we just have to deal with the separation anxiety lol
Also, bonus points for Joey's Nordiques hat. Being from Quebec city, I'm glad to see more people are keeping the dream alive ;P

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: fan keeps running after turned off and is possibly draining my battery? on 2000 Volkswagen JettaEdit
My fan keeps running for about 5-8 minutes even when the car is off and I don't know why because my temperature gauge reads at normal temperature. It stays on for a while even if i drove it for only about 3 miles! The reason I'm asking is because (beside the fact that its annoying) I think its draining my battery because sometimes it will either not start or it will barely start with slow cranking and my battery isn't old enough to give me problems by itself.
Your car uses a fan switch that is hooked to a constant power source. By design it allows the fan to run even when the car is turned off. At times this switch fails causing it to stay on or not turn on at all. This maybe your issue. I would be looking for another cause tho. A running fan for five minutes should not drain the the batt. If you want to buy one here is a link:
Good luck!

Merry Christmas 2016
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Another year have passed, and I am still alive! \o/
So towards the later half of this year I have started to try and learn Unity. It has been quite a nice experience so far, still so much to learn though. The plan is to make some kind of logic puzzle game for the mobile/tablet market.
Have also been experimenting with some VR platforms like Vive and Daydream, which have been really fun. Can't show much due to secrecy/nda/etc..
The beer-brewing is going fine, gonna put the Christmas beer to the test tomorrow.
Until next time!
Merry Christmas 2015
Time for my yearly blogpost again… Another year as a webdeveloper have passed. Still at North Kingdom, over 10 years now, still liking it.
Have had some fun projects this year as well, still trying to focus mostly on canvas and 3d/webgl(and staying away from css/html). Some smaller things with VR, feels like many want to ride the hype, but not really sure how to climb the unicorn.. See how that will pan out.
We have also gotten to a point where it is about as complicated to "compile" a fucking website as it was to compile a whole operating system 15 years ago… Good work webdev-community!! (:
Haven't posted many experiments this year, no time to maintain that nowadays. However, I have uploaded some crap to my youtube-channel and occasionaly some shit to vine.
On a personal level, have had another(third) kid this year, was a girl this time! \o/
Have joined a local hobby beer-brewery.. gotta have a hobby!
So Cheers! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas 2014
Almost forgot my yearly xmas-blogpost this year.. But here I am!
So Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, once again!
Have nothing nice or wise to say about our "industry" this year, so I'll keep it to myself.. ;)
Merry Christmas 2013
Another year have almost passed by, time for my yearly blogpost…
The trend at work is no Flash at all this year, it have mostly moved over towards WebGL and Canvas, and I kinda enjoy it for the most part. Lately I have worked on a large project where we tried to experiment with what we could do in modern browsers on modern mobile devices, as everything is supposed to be "mobile" these days.
It was interesting for sure, and a learning process. And also a lot of work, iterating and testing.
Finally time to unplug for a couple of weeks and celebrate christmas.
So, have a great holiday and see you in 2014!
Some issues
There is currently some issues with the site, probably due to the recent server move. So no subpages can currently be accessed :/. Hopefully Jocke will fix it soon.. :)
Edit 2013-15-16: Seems to work again now, turns out I had to update the permalinks after the server move…
Got a chance to play with a Kinect recently, I know.. about 2 years after everyone else. :)
Anyway, I wanted to get started prototyping/testing really quickly, and as of late I have come to think that the most accessible and quickest way is with javascript and 2dcanvas or WebGL.
So I found KinectJS, that makes it really simple to get started. Just run the server and through a websocket you get access to the nodes, etc.
There are others of course, like as3NUI if you want to go with as3. Or obviously c# and c++ examples that comes with the sdk.
Since this is really hard to show online, I have tried to screenrecord some of the tests.
The first thing was just to try and get the nodes showing.
So this is just a canvas plotting the nodes as a skeleton:
Next thing I tried was some headtracking and moving a camera around accordingly to get some sort "holographic" effect.
It´s filmed with a crappy mobile-camera, sorry for that. But you should get the idea:
Then the most obvious geek-thing, control a light saber with your arm:
Test to emit particles from your hands, feels good:
Draw some trails:
Always wondered what it feels like to be a flower :D
Then a test with connecting some box2d stuff to the nodes:
Jumped around a bit to much while tesing that, broke my fucking lamp…
Then an attempt at making something more installation-like. The idea is to project this on to one wall of a room. When it detects a person it lights up like a long corridor and extends the room. And then uses headtracking to change the camera position so the perspective is correct from that persons pov. That´s the theory anyway.
Also to have some sort of interactivity and some references in the extened room, you can "throw" some balls by moving your hands in Z above a certain velocity, the balls then "inherits" the velocity of the hand.
And a variation with an object you can spin around by moving your hands.
So I have mostly tested the Kinect as an input device(which is what is.. duh), but I mean I haven´t touched the video and depthmap stuff.
And as an input device it certainly got some pros and cons. Like doing precission stuff and for example controlling something with lots of accuracy is really hard. I guess also partly cause there is no tactile feedback(a bit of the same problem as touchscreens have imo). As a result control interfaces have to be quite forgiving(for example like this)…
But on the other hand there are stuff that can feel really nice and responsive, like for example emitting particles or drawing and stuff like that. I guess you could say, creating or influencing something with motion in a void feels nicer than trying to control something with motion in a void. :)
In our business it certainly got potential for installations and similar stuff, have obviously just peaked at the surface here. Was lots of fun though!
Site update
Well, I have finally joined the 21st century and moved the, almost 10 year old, html-site to a wordpress solution. Just what the world needs, another asshole with a blog…
Big thanks to Jocke and Spocke at Moxiecode for the help with the hosting! And hey, I'm using their wysiwyg-editor while writing this. Check out TinyMCE, it´s a great open-source project.
Let me know if you find something that´s not working.
Bye 2010
Another busy year have (almost) passed, and more projects behind me. We have one site nominated at The Fwa:s Peoples Choice Awards 2010 this time, it's July.
Things slowed down a bit towards the end of the year though. Great for me, had time to play with some mobile/android stuff. And later also try a bit of js+canvas and some WebGL. I can really see the potential. Really fun to play with from a developers point-of-view.
I also actually ended up using twitter, it's a good work-tool/channel to see trends and what people are up to etc. You can 'follow' me @oosmoxiecode.
This site is nearing 10 years without a remake/update… lol. I would really like to convert it to a wordpress-solution.. some day.
Have a great 2011 everyone!
Testing Twitter
Have promised myself, as a early new years resolution, to try and be more open to shit like this. So now I´m gonna try twitter. So if you are not a stranger to bad humor, irony and foul language, you can follow me @oosmoxiecode.
North Kingdom – Showreel
Rob has put up a showreel, showing some of our(North Kingdoms) work the past years. Make sure to check it out.
Oh, and we have two sites nominated at The Fwa:s Peoples Choice Awards 2009, Feb and Dec, so go vote for us.
Have sometimes thought I should do some sort of portfolio. It usually starts with me making a list of the sites and stuff I´ve been in involved in over the last ten years. And that´s also were it ends with me going: "Ähh fuck it… Like I have time for this…" ;)
Merry christmas 2007
Happy holidays to everyone out there!
I have become the father of a son. :) Check out a small clip here, of him lying around doing whatever they do.
32k swf compo – results
The results from the 32k swf competition are in, they can be found here. The result is from both the online voting and the voting at Icons07.
32k swf competition
There have been a 32k swf competition over at flashscene.org. Head over there and check out the entries and vote for my lame entry :P, or whoever you think should win. I have an idea of which entry will win anyway :) (Hint: starts with an A… that was just great stuff!)
Was great fun making it though, although I guess I should have used AS3/Flash9 instead of Flash8.
Merry christmas 2006
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all you people out there. It´s been a busy year for me at work, and we have done some fun projects, won some awards and so on… Hope next year will be just as much fun.
Some yearly statistics, about 2 million vistors this year, around 130 gb of data has been transfered. So it´s been a little less traffic this year, could be due to the lack of new games :) what do I now?
I always hope to get time to do some 'new' games, got some ideas written down, just waiting to be done. But I somehow doubt that will happen soon. :P Cheers to everyone out there!
I´ve uploaded a beta of a simple YouTube style FLV player. It´s meant to be small and hopefully easy to implement. I tried to keep the features simple and not bloat it to much.
Might be useful for someone out there, it´s free to use for anything by anyone :). I might release the source or make it skinnable in the future.
Online Ansi Reader
Continuing on the ascii art track, I´ve published an Online Ansi Reader aswell. Made this one in Flash8 with the bitmap stuff.
Check it out and download it here.
More information about ansi-files can be found here.
Online Nfo Reader
I´ve made an Online Nfo Reader for a friend of mine. I decided to release it for anyone to use, maybe someone else also founds it useful…
Check it out here, any suggestions for more features are welcome.
More information about nfo-files can be found here.
Mod player in Flash 9
André Michelle have developed a modplayer in Flash 9, called 8bitboy(preview). It´s not done yet, but it looks incredibly cool so far.
The mod format was originally developed for the Amiga, read more about it on wikipedia. This essentially means we can create soundeffects etc. on the fly in Flash 9, among other things. Looking forward to try it out when it´s finished.
Go Sweden!
WM 2006 Webflags by André Michelle, from Germany ;)
Edit: Well, that didn´t help the Swedish team much :) Gongratulations to Germany! I´m cheering for Brazil now, since they are the most fun to watch.

Replacement GU arm operator for a Stanley 3200 awning window
A home owner from Greenlawn NY says:
April 29, 2014
I need to replace the arm operator from a Stanley 3200 awning window. Enclosed please find 2 pictures of the item needed.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
May 1, 2014
Thanks for posting. I'm afraid this is an old Silverline awning window operator that has been discontinued for some time. I have repaired one of these before, but it took some handy work.
What I did was remove the end bearing from our 39-027E, then removed the arm extension off of the original operator. I then attached that extension to the new operator. You will have to drill extra holes and rivet the extension onto the 39-027E. Mounting the new operator casing to the window will also take some improvisation. It's a lot of work if you are up for it, but you may want to consider contacting a local handy person for assistance.

After a great deal of thought I thought maybe it looked odd and lumpy because it was unblocked, and because my teddy bear has ears where a baby has a big, smooth, round head. And then I looked at it, and looked at it and looked at it and realised I had it upside down I turned it the right way around, and all of a sudden it started to make sense!
Here it is, with its matching Baby Surprise Jacket. He's looking very warm and woolly.
And here's a bonus picture of Juniper "helping" with the photos. She's pretty warm and woolly too.

Written from the perspective of the applied mathematician, the latest edition of this bestselling book focuses on the theory and practical applications of Differential Equations to engineering and the sciences. Emphasis is placed on the methods of solution, analysis, and approximation. Use of technology, illustrations, and problem sets help readers develop an intuitive understanding of the material. Historical footnotes trace the development of the discipline and identify outstanding individual contributions. This book builds the foundation for anyone who needs to learn differential equations and then progress to more advanced studies.
To accommodate the changing learning environment, this edition takes a more visual, quantitative, project, and example-oriented approach for undergraduate students in mathematics, science, or engineering whose interest in differential equations ranges from the totally theoretical to the diehard practical. Other changes include an introduction to mathematical modeling, direction fields, the basic ideas of stability and instability, and Euler's method of numerical approximation. Coverage includes first-, second-, and higher-order linear and nonlinear equations; the Laplace transform; and numerical methods. Includes chapter problems and appended answers. Boyce is professor emeritus, and DiPrima is a professor, respectively, in the department of mathematical sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. Annotation c.

Air Liquide's governance is the organization of the Group's bodies of supervision and management. It comprises the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors in action
The Board of Directors determines the major orientations of the Group, all activities included. It is therefore natural for its members to meet the teams during regular field visits.
Healthcare in Aix-en-Provence
In September 2015, the members of the Board gathered near the city of Aix-en-Provence (France) for a board meeting devoted to healthcare. A great opportunity to discuss topics ranging from innovation and geographic expansion to actions designed to increase competitiveness.
To help them better understand the operations of a Home Healthcare service provider, each member accompanied a nurse or a technician from Air Liquide on visits to the homes of patients suffering from chronic diseases requiring long term care.
Large Industries in Houston
In 2014, the Board members went to Houston, in the heart of one of the world's largest industrial basins. On the agenda: take a closer look at the Large Industries business line, talk about the new energy playing field and review Air Liquide's latest innovations. An intense program including expert presentations, facility tours and fruitfull discussions with the local management team and operational field staff.

Who is Billy Munnelly?
Billy Munnelly is the champion of good everyday wine.
One of Canadas most creative wine writers, Billy Munnelly has delivered irreverent, lighthearted and enlightening wine advice for 35 years. Munnelly's goal has been to remove confusion and intimidation from the wine selection process, taking it back from the snobs.
Before devoting his life to the pursuit of good, affordable wine, the Irish-born bon vivant spent years in the restaurant industry. In 1977 he opened Stratfords Rundles restaurant with current owner Jim Morris. In 1981 he opened the Rosedale Diner in Toronto. In 1983 Billy switched to drinking full time and 'hasn't missed a days work since'. Munnelly was one of the first to write and publish a wine consumer report. His bi-monthly wine publication, Billy's Best Bottles Wineletter (1983 – 2005) was Canadas most widely circulated consumer wine report, with subscribers from coast to coast.
In the early '90s, Billy launched his annual wine buying guide, 'Billy's Best Bottles Wines', and was a Canadian best seller each year since its inception ('Wines for 2012' marked the 22nd edition, and last).
Billy has appeared on Canada AM, Christine Cushing Live, Breakfast TV, Hunter's Gathering, The Gardener's Journal and CBC radio. His writing has been showcased in newspapers and publications including The New York Times, Canadian Consumer Report, Wine X, Toro, Wine Fox, Wish, Metro, London Free Press, Watershed and LCBO's Food & Drink magazines. He is a member of the Wine Writer's Circle of Canada. In 2011 he received a Lifetime Achievement award for promoting Ontario wine.
In addition to writing and publishing, Billy serviced the wine and hospitality industry via alternative wine education and innovative marketing concepts. He and partner Kato Wake took their 'show on the road' and conducted 'Wine By Mood School' in homes, restaurants and board rooms. Together they have taught wine education and service skills to hundreds of hospitality workers, and conducted wine seminars to over 8,000 Canadians. They now happily take small tour groups to Europe – planning Wine, Food + Culture camps!
Billy and Kato are proud to call beautiful Prince Edward County their home.
How I See Wine
Wine pleasure has as much to do with what's in your head as what's in your glass.
Most wine publications celebrate the high and mighty wine world and smoked salmon and caviar. My focus is on the middle ground, the good everyday trooper, the Toyota. Wines to get me through the week and to take me on the occasional trip. Wines to have fun with rather than worship.
Not everyone wants wine expertise. Most of us just want to know which wine will work well for lifes various events; the BBQ, the birthday bash, the pizza night. We want to know how different styles of wine might connect to our times, moods and events. We want quick, easy solutions so we can get on with enjoying ourselves.
The 'experts' are wrong. It's not about the wine.
It's not the wine itself that matters, but your experience of it. We don't play music for the compositions, or the players, but for the pleasure of the feeling it gives us. And so it is with wine. Everywhere we hear about the wine and its flavours but this has been a mistake. We should be hearing about the experience of it. What emotions are created by the different wines?
Wine is more than a liquid with a smell, flavour and history. Wine is part drink, part situation, part thought, part desire, and part imagination.
How does it feel?
The communion between people and wine is feeling. Wines statement isn't flavour. The essence or character of a wine can only be felt. It's the feeling that connects wine to our moods and events. When you shift to seeing wine as a feeling experience you'll become more comfortable with the subject because you know and trust your feelings. Feeling is a language of the soul, not the head.
Down with excessive glitz!
In North America, we're obsessed with stardom and prestige brands and this blinds us to the whole point of wine. The Japanese tea ceremony suffered a similar fate when it fell into the hands of wealthy merchants who had little knowledge of the true spirit of the event, and made the ceremony a show of glitz and materialism. Wine's origin is in the simple cafe or at a wooden table in the shade. It's about sociability first and foremost.
In case of emergency
1. grab the beaujolais
2. get a baguette
3. leave your worries on the doorstep
4. direct you picnic to the sunny side of the street
The old wine ways support wine snobbery. Wine experts love talking down to people as it makes them feel superior. My Wine by Mood system does the opposite. It helps people become their own wine expert. To be good at wine, you need to ask the question: 'What mood am I in? What do I need?'
Tell me your mood and I'll tell you which wine.
Read more about my Wine by Mood philosophy here.

Forget expertise.
For me, wine and music play similar roles in life. They both offer an endless variety of opportunities for a lift, a laugh, or to generally delight the heart and soul.
For both wine and music, the key to enjoyment is developing a sense of what's appropriate; a knack for choosing the wine or music that's right for the moment. One minute we may desire something nourishing and soothing. Another time we want to kick up our heels and go wild. Good times with wine is not something you buy, it's something you create.
There's wine for all our moods. Matching the spirit or character of a wine to that of an event is the great overlooked challenge in wine. The person who knows which wine to play is the real wine expert.
Like music, wine is interactive. Records and wine are not useful once purchased, only when played. You have nothing until you put the wine into context with mood and company and with thought. It's what you bring to the wine that will make it shine or not, and give it value. A $10 bottle can deliver $100 worth of pleasure, and vice versa. This is the challenge in wine, Get good at playing it. Develop the knack of pouring what's appropriate and the wine that hits the spot. Forget expertise and work on your playing skills.
With music, we begin to hear and feel it as we take the CD from its packaging. Imagine the same thing happening as you open a bottle of wine – actually feeling the experience and appropriateness of the wine. We don't need more or better Cabernet or Chardonnay. We need for the consumer to shift attention from wine to the feeling of the experience. Only by knowing something about how a wine feels can we make choices that result in good times. No amount of wine knowledge will do this for you.

Holden Cruze CDX
From $26,740 plus on-road and dealer costs. 1.8-litre 4-cyl; 104kW/176Nm; 6-sp auto; 7.4L/100km and 175g/km CO2; FWD
Recently added standard Bluetooth. Also has USB-iPod input, heated seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shifter, rear parking sensors, foglights, 17-inch alloys, six airbags and stability control. Auto ($2000) pushes price higher than Elantra.
Similarly matched for interior space, with decent rear space and a 445-litre boot. Logically laid-out interior looks smart and modern, but lacks sizzle compared with the Hyundai. Feels low rent and some quality-control niggles are evident.
Not the sharpest tool in the Cruze shed — that honour goes to the 1.4 turbo. Lacks low-rev urge and can be sluggish up hills, although it drives better than its 104kW output suggests.
How it drives
Feels stable and secure, with steering that is predictable and well weighted. More corner-friendly than the Elantra but the ride is quite firm and can be crashy at low speeds.
Long term
Shorter three-year, 100,000-kilometre warranty. Predicted resale value of $13,900 after three years and $10,900 after five.
Beaten here but there are plenty of buyers — the Cruze is one of the highest-selling small cars in Australia.
Hyundai Elantra Elite
From $25,590 plus on-road and dealer costs. 1.8-litre 4-cyl; 110kW/178Nm; 6-sp auto; 7.1L/100km and 169g/km CO2; FWD
Misses out on heated seats and 16-inch alloys look a bit small, but is cheaper and comes with a standard six-speed auto. Also has Bluetooth audio streaming, smart-key entry and push-button start, rain-sensing wipers, dual-zone climate control, six airbags and stability control.
More futuristic, curvaceous interior, with excellent space in the front and in the boot (458 litres). Feels bigger despite more compact dimensions, although rear headroom is tight. Lots of neat elements to the design but some switchgear feels cheap.
Feels perky in comparison and is the most frugal non-hybrid car in its class. Thrums at higher revs. Auto likes to shift down to save fuel but generally makes the right choices at most speeds.
How it drives
More convincing than recent Hyundai newcomers. Composed over bumps and comfortable. Electric steering not consistent enough. Road noise intrudes into cabin.
Long term
Excellent five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. Lower resale value predicted: $13,100 after three years, $10,200 after five, but it's cheaper.
A real value contender in this market and arguably the best Hyundai to arrive here.

SALT LAKE CITY — A so-called "Utah solution" to illegal immigration has come under fire on several fronts. And now an organization that supported the guts of the plan wants to replace it with a measure the Utah Legislature dismissed with little consideration.
The Sutherland Institute on Thursday called Sen. Luz Robles' failed SB60 the "gold standard" of a state-based, comprehensive immigration policy. It proposes to replace controversial HB116 with the Salt Lake Democrat's bill, which stressed accountability.
"Accountability is the key. Utah has the right, as a sovereign state, to insist on personal accountability from anyone within its borders," said Sutherland Institute President Paul Mero.
Robles' measure called for undocumented immigrants of working age to register for an "accountability card" every two years. Applicants would have to undergo a criminal background check and pass an English proficiency test. It also prohibited employers from hiring illegal immigrants without a permit and imposed hefty fines on those that did.
"Accountability also means undocumented immigrants must be willing to come to the surface of society and Utah employers utilizing undocumented immigrant labor must do their part," Mero said.
Senate Republicans killed SB60 while assembling their own comprehensive reform package that came to be known as the "Utah solution."
HB116 establishes a guest worker permit program starting July 2013. It requires federal approval to be implemented as would the accountability card in SB60. The guest worker bill also includes sanctions for businesses with more than 15 employees that hire illegal workers.
The bill enjoyed broad support from Utah's political, business and religious communities, including the LDS Church, when Gov. Gary Herbert signed it into law earlier this year.8 comments on this story
But it also came under attack from conservative Republicans who view it as amnesty.
GOP state delegate Brandon Beckham mounted a statewide petition drive to repeal HB116. Both the Salt Lake County and Utah County Republican parties passed resolutions supporting a repeal. The state GOP will consider doing the same when it holds its annual convention this month.
And this week Merrill Cook launched a county-by-county initiative petition to stop the guest worker program.

America Discovers 'Empire of the Sun', Only Eight Years Late
20/04/2016 11:46 AM AEST | Updated 15/07/2016 12:52 PM AEST
Julia Naughton Associate Lifestyle Editor, HuffPost Australia
It was 2008 when Australians got their first taste of the Apple iPhone, witnessed cinema magic as Heath Ledger became "The Dark Knight" and spent the summer dancing to Empire of the Sun's debut hit single, "Walking on a Dream."
Fast-forward eight years and Americans are only just catching up to the musical talent of Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore -- the duo that make up ARIA-winning electro group, Empire of the Sun.
After their track "Walking on a Dream" featured on a recent Honda Civic ad, Americans are going nuts for the catchy tune, sending it into chart territory with many questioning where the Aussie group has been all their life.
And if being invited to perform on The Ellen Degeneres show wasn't enough, the track has topped Billboard's + Clio Music's Top Commercials chart for two months running.
To take advantage of the track's revived success, Steele and Littelmore have even released a new music video filmed with all that late-2000s nostalgia, capturing the duo touring the song across the globe.
According to Littlemore's Twitter account, a new record may also be in the works, too.
While almost a decade is a long time to reach mainstream success in America, it's sure a major win for the Aussie music community right now -- not only because we get to smugly gesture "told ya so."

Why did Metro-North, consistently ranked among the world's most-admired commuter lines, suddenly roar off the rails beginning last year with five ghastly accidents that left six people dead and 126 injured?
Was the problem a lethal case of institutional hubris? Or too many old hands retiring at once? Or simple bad luck?
We've heard all the excuses.
Tuesday the National Transportation Safety Board released a series of reports saying that all of the accidents -- between May 2013 and March 2014 -- could have been prevented had the system followed federal guidelines.
Maddeningly, it didn't.
But we hope that way of thinking changes dramatically with the arrival of David Mayer -- appointed this week as safety chief for the entire MTA operation. He's currently the NTSB's managing director.
In its reports, the NTSB found recurring problems -- including ineffective track inspections, deferred maintenance and inadequate safety oversight. And not only did Metro-North fail to heed the NTSB's advice, so did its regulator, the Federal Railroad Administration.
Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Capitol Hill railroad watchdog, put it bluntly Tuesday when he said the federal railroad agency is way too deferential to the industry it's supposed to watch. Here's one example:
The worst of the Metro-North accidents happened in December as engineer William Rockefeller nodded off at the controls and took a 30-mph curve at 82 mph. His train derailed in the Bronx, taking four lives and injuring 70.
The NTSB reports that Rockefeller was sleep-deprived -- because of a shift change and because he suffered from undiagnosed sleep apnea. But for 12 years, Blumenthal says, the federal railroad agency has failed to require lines like Metro-North to do sleep-apnea tests.
Spurred by the accidents, the railroad already has been rebuilding track and boosting inspections. Now we're expecting Mayer to ratchet up the safety improvements for the city's buses and subways as well -- before there are problems.
