Punk and Thug Grannies by Banksy is a very funny print. It features two very nice little old ladies sitting in chairs and knitting. One little old lady is knitting a sweater tat has the words "punks not dead" on it. The other little old lady is focusing her energy on knitting a sweater that says "thug for life" on the front of it. It is very funny to see two sweet ladies knitting sweaters with those expressions on the front of them. The print is sure to receive a lot of laughs and good memories of elders.

A month literally passed and if it weren't for my friends I would have forgotten to blog these photos LOL.
Reason why I haven't posted any photos is I got easily overwhelmed by how much photos we've taken. I like to avoid the responsibility of post processing and blogging 'cause I don't know where to begin! hahahhahahha. I decided I'll just post by batch so I can have at least a little bit of progress . Hahhahaha.
A month before actually going home I told my friends I want to "travel" because I've never really travelled anywhere. I wanted to go to Vigan at first but my friends don't have leave credits yet so we decided to go somewhere nearer and can be explored for two days and a night. Sobrang haggard! hahaha.
Also, fun fact, this is my first time in Baguio. Yup, you can judge me! hahahahhaha
Arrived at around 6 am at Yang's, left our bags, took a quick shower, then headed to Cafe by the Ruins!
I just found out recently that there are actually two branches of this cafe; I think we went to the first one? I'm not sure tbh hahaha thanks Jolo for making the itinerary haha (More photos below!)

Brazil's state-run oil company said it found a large reserve of oil deep in the Atlantic Ocean, sending its shares soaring and indicating the potential for deep-water discoveries in a time of supply concerns.

Union official who sparked Grangemouth refinery strike has inquiry delayed
THE union official who sparked the Grangemouth shutdown has asked bosses to delay announcing the findings of a probe into his activities.
Earlier this year senior shop steward Stephen Deans was caught up in the dispute over the selection of a Labour candidate for Falkirk.
Mr Deans, 49, has worked at the plant for 24 years. He is chairman of Unite in Scotland and chairs Labour's Falkirk West constituency party.
Labour suspended Mr Deans' party membership, along with that of Karie Murphy, whose candidature he had supported, while it investigated allegations that Unite had sought to "stitch up" the selection process by packing the constituency with new members.
The party and police later cleared them of wrongdoing.
He was suspended by Ineos and then re-instated, before being subject to an internal investigation, which was due to report yesterday.
Last month Unite balloted refinery workers on strike action after accusing Ineos and majority shareholder Jim Ratcliffe of "sinister victimisation" of Mr Deans. The row sparked the closure of the site.
Ineos yesterday said it had agreed to delay an announcement on its findings.
A spokeswoman said: "The company has presented Mr Deans with the findings of an inquiry into the allegations of inappropriate use of company resources and systems.
"Mr Deans has asked that the next step in the process is delayed by five days.
"The company has agreed to this so that due process continues to be followed, as it has throughout the investigation.
"We will make a further announcement on Tuesday."

My PC is dead.
The hard drive just makes a loud click and then stops spinning. After a few seconds it spins back up, then randomly stops again.
Gut reaction would be that the drive is bad. But here's the kicker - it's an IDE drive and the same basic thing was happening when I had a SATA drive as the main drive. So it looks more like the drive controller on the mother board.The damndest thing is that the BSOD can't write out the error so I don't get much information from the crash.
I'm going to try a new power supply. Low voltage can cause funky errors and a new power supply is fairly cheap when you consider having to buy a new harddrive or motherboard. What really sucks is if it is the harddrive then that means reinstalling everything again. This stinks because of all the antipiracy crap on all my software that I have to dance around because I've legitimately reinstalled it all a dozen times or so already. Plus, I've got my PC the way I like it and I'll have to redo all my settings.
So, I hope it's just the power supply or at worst, the motherboard (my current install should probably work ok). Stupid computers.

PALMETTO, Fla. (WFLA) – The body of missing Palmetto woman Tricia Freeman was found dumped in a field in Levy County on Monday.
She went missing last week and 26-year-old Roy Nichols, Jr. confessed to murdering her. He's the boyfriend of Freeman's daughter, 21-year-old Kayla Colyer.
Nichols has now been charged with murder and Colyer has been charged with accessory after the fact.
Officials say Nichols killed Freeman during an argument at her home on March 14. Afterward, he and Colyer placed the body in Freeman's car and dumped the body in Chiefland, Florida where Nichols hails from.
"He was from Levy County and I suspect that's probably why he wanted to leave her there, that he was kinda familiar with the area," Palmetto Police Chief Scott Tyler said. "We're relieved to find the body, we're anxious to examine the crime scene and her remains and get whatever forensic information we can to help bring this case to a conclusion."

Colyer and Nichols then abandoned Freeman's car in Kentucky and traveled north. They were arrested in West Virginia on Saturday after they were recognized by a store clerk.
Nichols has spent time in prison for grand theft and dealing in stolen property. Officials are happy the pair was caught.
"Not only is the victim dead, but they're left with a hole that they're unable to fill so we hope that finding her and then delivering these people to justice will at least make up for something," Chief Tyler said.
"There's only 3 people who know the truth- Kayla, the guy and God and at the end of the day it's put in God's hands now and God's gonna let the truth come out," Tricia's friend Robert Kronk said.
Kronk is Freeman's former neighbor. He said she was a beloved friend to the community.
"I wish he would've thought before he did. And you know what I mean, he took a good person away from a lot of people," Kronk said.
The pair will have an extradition hearing Tuesday morning in West Virginia. That's when we expect to learn when they will be brought back to Florida.

text: I installed the HBC a long time ago, and since then my Wii has been updated, so my system menu is 4.0E as far as I know. I'm fairly new to the whole homebrew thing, but I set out to install USB Loader GX anyway. What I first gathered was that I needed a cIOS installed, so I got cios38rev13 installer, and ran it, choosing ios38 (I wasn't sure what to use) and selecting WAD installation, causing it to find IOS38-64-v3610.wad on the root of my SD card. I have the latest revision (517 or something like that) of USB Loader GX and when I try to run it from the HBC I get a black screen and the Wiimote turns off. There is nothing wrong with the Wii itself, it still hard resets and I can get back to the system menu. Any ideas? I know I missed something, just don't know what because I'm a bit of a noob at this.

When cold calling do you leave voicemails?
When you are making your cold calls on the telephone and your prospect isn't available do you leave a voicemail or call back at a later time? - by Community Mailbox
I've done both, and my message now is "Hi Mr. Ireallywanttomeetyou, I know you're busy and that is why I'm calling for an appointment. I'll keep trying in hopes of contacting you at a more convenient time, Aloha, Tom Lodge 808-992-9999 that number again 808-992-9999.

I leave voicemails - otherwise, how are they supposed to know I called?
I've heard some recommend to stop leaving voicemails by the third or fourth call back - by that time I've most likely moved on, but if I'm confident about the need and the fit, I might try back without leaving messages.
Stephen - by sfrenkel
This is kind of a loaded question.
For the most part, you should leave a voicemail with a prospect.
However, depending on the size of the company and level of executive, the purpose of leaving the voicemail can be different.
For example, if you're calling an extremely small company, you have a decent chance of the prospect calling you back. Therefore, the purpose would be to reach out and try to get a return call.
If you're calling a c-level executive in the Fortune 500, the chance of a prospect calling you back are slim. However, it doesn't mean a voicemail is useless. It means that when you do leave a voicemail, you're building awareness. You're getting your name out there. This can be helpful, because it may take you many weeks or months to reach this type of executive. When you do, if you've laid the foundation of sending emails and leaving voicemails, he may have a vague idea of who you are, and make your call that much more 'warm.'
Good luck!
Beth - by bethravery
If you're calling a c-level executive in the Fortune 500, the chance of a prospect calling you back are slim.
Beth, I have no way of knowing for sure, but I suspect most of the active posters here rarely call on a C-level executive in the Fortune 500. Why do you think that it would take weeks or months to reach one of them? Can you give an example of a particular group in sales that have led you to that statement--and could you rate the level of sales acumen in that group?
Please--I'm not challenging you. It's just that I have people in my circle that have no problem reaching those C-level executives. - by Ace Coldiron
Leaving a VM or not, its subjective and purely personal. There are other means of reaching people, PA is a route i like because its more important to build huge rapport there, also email is an option i love and i love handling the objections i get via email....its an invitation to call and get through and overcome the objection. I think its 50/50 whether a prospect who is not familiar with you will actually return your call, they may do or they may not! - by SeanPatrick
I have people in my circle that have no problem reaching those C-level executives.
I do indeed call on C-level Execs (or as high in the company as I possibly can). While success rates are good, I'd be interested in hearing about your colleagues' approach(es) as I'm always interested in learning more, especially from people who are good at high level B2B sales...

Stephen, having read your posts over a period of time, I have no doubt that you are successful in that area. Frankly I can tell by the insight you consistently display.
Among the top salespeople I know, one stands out in particular when it comes to the information you want me to share. He said quite recently over lunch, "You don't work your way up into bigger league sales, you place yourself into it."
Stephen, that might not be the form of reply you were hoping for, but the underlying belief in that statement is one that I find consistent with producers who have success in reaching top level people and selling them.
Most people can be reached. Most salespeople do not attempt very hard to reach people that they assume are difficult to reach. It isn't a matter of fancy technique, it's a matter of accepting that it can be done.
My clients over the years have included ambassadors, senators, congressmen, mayors, wealthy newspaper publishers, superstar athletes, prominent attorneys, CEOs of large companies, and one world reknowned physician. I'm sure I've left some categories out. I cannot think of a single instance among them when I was not treated with respect, openness, cordiality, and willingness to hear what I had to say.
Only in the case of the newspaper publisher, did I find an intermediary personal assistant who set appointments on several occasions for me to meet with her boss. When I met with that woman publisher I was always treated as a welcome guest and a source of information and services.

. He has many clients in small businesses and farming--as do I. He knows the best way to deal with others is human being to human being. I share that belief with him. - by Ace Coldiron
Thanks Ace! I'm glad to hear my posts are well received.
I agree with you wholeheartedly - the confidence of knowing you belong at the table certainly helps in your solicitation for a seat.
When I reach out, I work hard to make sure I'm doing so as a peer/equal and as a consultant with experience that can help my prospects/clients - it's important that they see me as an equal.
Stephen - by sfrenkel
I think that leaving a vm on the phone of someone that you have never spoken to is a pointless waste of yours and their time. It makes you the salesperson feel that you are doing something, but really it just takes up valuable calling time. Just hang up and move on.
Whilst on the subject I never ask when someone I am cold calling, will be back in the office otherwise, I am just wasting my time building a list of people who are not in. - by Julian
As with anything, it depends.
I would assume that this is a first call and as such, I would leave a quick 30 second voicemessage with a great hook in the first 10 seconds.
I would say something like, "Mrs./Mr. Prospect, similar companies to yours save on average X% by using out service, which could translate to $X over the next year."
This way the prospect has the opportunity to decide if they want to learn more. If you don't leave a message, then how does the prospect know what they may be missing.
The one thing that you should do is put the prospect into a call cycle so that you don't call them once.
Hope this helps. - by salestipaday
I always leave a message. If I don't how could I possibly get a call back from them....and I do more than 30% of the time.
The importance is the simplicity and directness of the voice mail message. - by Paulette Halpern
Beth, I have no way of knowing for sure, but I suspect most of the active posters here rarely call on a C-level executive in the Fortune 500. Why do you think that it would take weeks or months to reach one of them?
On point again ACE .... as usual.
Look, really good Execs are more apt to be able to recognize the need to listen to voice mail than small business owners. When I speak to them and ask them questions about this they say; "you never know" meaning when a call could be helpful.
Of course, if you are calling the wrong person in the first place you are unlikely to get a call back, another reason why calling middle management is a mistake to start out.
I recently got through to the worldwide CEO of a $34 Billion whole-y-owned division of a $179 Billion dollar company. I called the TOP DOG and I got time with him. And, yes, this interaction began with a voice mail ...
LESSON #1 Don't doubt for a moment that you can.
LESSON #2 Learn to deal with screening.
LESSON #3 Learn hgow to get through to Mr./MS. Busy.
The whole prospecting seminar takes a day. But calling very early ... he/she is in and not bothered by staff yet. Call during break time - when the screen_er is not there (gettign past the gatekeeper) ...
Positive reinforcement - don't think or or refer to it as "COLD CALLING" try changing the "c" to a "g" and refer to it as GOLD CALLING ...
Best of luck.
Steve - by Gold Calling
When I used to cold call a residence via telephone I discovered a message that made people call me back. I learned it from a sales trainer. This message I left helped me screen the people who were interested and not interested. Most people in my office hated answering machines but once you test and find a message that gets people calling you back you'll have less reluctance when the answering machine picks up.
However once you test and find a message that gets people calling you back you then have to have a response that keeps them on the hook.
I would say write out what you are going to say when the answering machine picks up. After leaving this message a few times test another message until you find one that gets your phone to ring. Not sure if this works B2B though. - by Cedric
These days the most I call prospects is once a week for 3 weeks. I make each call at a different time of day with the goal of catching the decision-maker live.
After that, I most definitely do leave a voice mail message. I agree with others who have posted - if I do not leave a message how are my prospects going to know I am out there with important information for them?
I even use VM as a way to move a discussion forward with prospects. I VM them with information and a question; they VM me with information and a question. My prospects and I have gone back and forth like this up to three times before connecting and landing an appointment.
My VM messages differ from yours.
I do not leave a message saying I-realy-wanna-talk-with-you. I do leave a message saying here's-how-your-competitors-benefit-from-talking-with-me-please-don't-lose-out-call-me. Additionally, I begin the message with my number and end the message with my number. If they listen to my message a second time the number is right up front for them to grab.
The Top Dog - by The Top Dog
I have learned to always leave a message. I recommend building a series of scripts to leave as voicemail.
Your scripts should be designed to work together and continue to build interest and value. If nothing else your prospect gets to know who you are by repeated exposure and by the time you connect they will give you an immediate impression of what they are interested in (your product/service or getting off of the phone).
Kevin - by KTjia
There is a problem with leaving VMs which no book ever covers.
You may have made 50 calls left 20 emails .Phone rings its a voice mail recipitent calling back! Who is it? Which company are they from? dont recall the name? not prepared for this call!! etc etc.stcktng; - by smashy
There is a problem with leaving VMs which no book ever covers.
You may have made 50 calls left 20 emails .Phone rings its a voice mail recipitent calling back! Who is it? Which company are they from? dont recall the name? not prepared for this call!! etc etc.stcktng;
I have been in this situation before, actually have been woken up by a call such as this.(I'm a college student, working part-time with a company for B2B Marketing, 7 a.m is just too early sometimes! haha) You really don't need to know the company name or exactly who the individual is with until after the phone call. Speak to them calm and collectively, act like you've been expecting their call and be personable about it. Don't treat them like they're one of the 300 voice mails you left. Individuals want to feel special, so treat them as such. Simply, ask them the questions necessary to determine how much of the product they use as well as actively listen to them set their parameters of what they define as, "Excellent Service."
So, before or after you set up the appointment, (Quotes by phone never work!) get some contact information and with the proper contact information, you'll easily be able to determine what company was responding back to your voice mail.
Let me insert a random statement of ethos because it seems to be appropriate for people around here. I've done this 3-4 times and set up the appointment that even lead to sales! I didn't even know what company it was, until I got back to the office! haha
"Hello Michael?"
"This is Steve, just returning your voicemail about the mass quantity of pallets we use."
"Oh, hey Steve!(Tone of familiarity and remembering what he's talking about.) I was calling just to see what type of pallets your company uses and how many truckloads you're getting a week/monthly on average." (Inquisitive approach begins!)
-Also, if anyone else doesn't agree with my approach, feel free to give out tips. I would love to hear different perspectives. ;bg - by MoraTheExplora

About Jason
Jason has been playing guitar for over 15 years and teaching music since 1996. Although trained in standard teaching methods, he has developed his own method of teaching to positively enhance the students strength, dexterity, ear-training, memorization and techniques. His goal as a teacher is specifically designed to help you achieve your goals as an artist and a musician.
This year Jason was also the Music Director at the National Guitar Workshop Day Jams Rock Music Day Camp where students ages 7-15 came out to form bands, record original material and master their craft. He also taught beginning to advanced guitar/ vocals/ performance and songwri
Jason has host student showcases/charity benefits where his students were able to get on stage and show off their new talent and perform with other musicians. It wasn't mandatory though, if you were just looking to come out and support there was no pressure other than to come out and have fun.
Jason has been transcribing for guitar and bass since the age of 18 and since then has become a master of the craft including both 5 line staff and tablature, hand-crafted exercises and deconstructions to better enhance the students learning. Artists and genres that Jason has experience with range from Classic Rock, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Guns N' Roses, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Robert Johnson, Pierce the Veil, Paramore, All Time Low, Demi Lava to, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Pantera, Avenged Sevenfold, The White Stripes, Green Day, Old Crow Medicine Show, Taylor Swift, Mumford and Sons, Bruno Mars, Rob Zombie, John 5, Audioslave, Rage Against the Machine, Van Morrison, the Beatles, AC/DC, ZZ-Top, Bullet For My Valentine, All That Remains, Ozzy, Black Label Society, Sublime, Aerosmith, At the Drive In, Type O Negative, the Black Keys, the Pixies, the Toadies, Black Sabbath, Jason Mraz, Lady GaGa, John Mayer and Journey.
Jason attended the University of Alaska, Anchorage where his degree is in Music and Business. He is constantly continuing his education with music theory courses as well as private guitar instruction. He attends guitar workshops and seminars by artists such as John5 and Kerry King who are known as some of the worlds finest guitar players. He reviews every day from a wide range of over 1000 sources working to become a better musician and instructor.
Another nice feature that you might enjoy from one on one sessions with Jason is learning the ability to craft and record your own songs using state of the art technology that caters to your own unique personality. There are no limits!
Jason teaches all experience levels from beginner to intermediate and advanced as well as artists that are signed to labels.
Local news outlet Fox 5 did a segment with one of his students who overcame issues with ADD and depression as a result of taking guitar lessons.
His students advance quickly, some have released albums, been in Guitar World Magazine as well as its online companion and won awards for their music websites.
*** Lesson Details ***
Lessons are scheduled to best fit to the student's schedule when possible.
Students receive complimentary audio lessons and transcriptions of songs upon their first or second session. Jason is a very patient instructor and understands that students learn at a different pace, after all everyone is an individual.

About Kelvin
I am very comfortable with all aspects of the current music syllabus, including teaching musical concepts (such as duration, pitch, dynamics, tone color, texture and structure) as well as performance, composition. I am fully qualified, with a Bachelor of Education in Music, Double Masters in music performance and education from University of Nottingham.
I am proficient in classical, jazz and Celtic fiddle violin and possess solid skills in piano (grade 8-13) Royal conservatory system.
Throughout my teaching career, I have been driven to help students achieve their very best. I str
The most important thing I look for in a student is communication skills, as well as talent. I like to nurture students and help identify their individual strengths, which is a key factor in shaping a musical persona that will make its mark both on and offstage. I do not advocate a uniform technique for all students. Physical differences and learning styles are always taken into consideration. Potential is as important to me as early achievements and experience. My goal is to help students become self-sufficient, discriminating artists. I discuss practice techniques often and develop individualized scale routines. I encourage initiative and expressive musicality as well as precision. Above all, music needs to bring obvious joy to the student, regardless of the difficulties."

About Linda L.Close

I have been playing bluegrass banjo for over 20 years, and have performed for events such as Thanksgiving dinners at hotels, folk clubs, bluegrass festivals, and fundraisers. In addition to playing and teaching banjo, I play and teach guitar and piano, with guitar being my main instrument. I am no Earl Scruggs, but I am a great teacher for beginners and intermediate players. As a teacher, I am patient, intuitive, and always tailor the lessons to fit the interests and learning styles of each individual student.
About Linda
I do not typically provide any equipment - but I am willing to select and purchase books for the students to learn from (cost of books to be reimbursed by the student/parent) when requested to do so.
I am also willing to provide stick-on note-names for the keyboard, for young children.
The students must have their own instruments, and provide a folder for sheet music and notes/instructions.
*** Specialties ***
Guitar, I specialize in the following styles: jazz, rock, blues, folk, bluegrass, and children's songs.
Piano: I prefer electronic keyboard to acoustic piano, but am happy to teach beginning students on a regular piano as well. I teach note-reading, playing by ear, and theory, with en emphasis on rock, pop, and folk music. I include arranging, chord theory, and use of the many features of an elec
Bass Guitar: I teach rock, pop, funk, and country music on bass.
Banjo: I teach bluegrass, country, and some blues and rock music. I can also teach a bit of old-timey frailing/clawhammer style.
English and Reading: I am highly qualified, to tutor/teach English (spoken, written, and reading comprehension) to both native English speakers and to those learning it as a second language.
*** I am particularly good at working with children who have a.d.h.d. and other learning disabilities!

About Jared J.Close
View Full Profile
I'm comfortable teaching the banjo in a variety of styles but will typically start in Bluegrass. I can teach both Scruggs style finger picking and basic to intermediate Clawhammer. My comfort zone is higher in the Scruggs style of playing however.
I also teach beginning to advanced Irish Tenor Banjo (GDAE Tuning) and Tenor Banjo (CGDA Tuning). Though it looks similar to the 5-string bluegrass banjo, the Irish Tenor Banjo and Tenor have only 4 strings and are played with a traditional guitar pick (a "plectrum" - though a "plectrum" banjo is tuned different then these other 2) and strummed rather then plucked with individual fingers.
I can teach the Plectrum Banjo as well (CGBD Tuning) but will be teaching you on a 5 string banjo that I only play with four strings.
About Jared
I have been playing an instrument since the 4th grade (cello) and, as I learned more about how music works, was slowly able to pick-up a greater variety instruments with an increasing degree of ease. In high school, I decided to pick-up the guitar just to "have fun and rock out". I joined a band, played in the high school orchestra, joined the high school jazz band and began to practice songwriting and cover songs. Still, it was not until after I took my first class on music the
I have been teaching music for over 7 years and have had the privilege of teaching children as young as 4 to adults in their late 80's. I am a very attentive teacher who can not only help get you moving in the right direction but keep you on that path until your are a self-sufficient musician. A level of musicianship that simply means you can learn whatever you want on your instrument on your own, whether it be for business, pleasure or for mere self-improvement.
Through my own student career in private lessons I had the chance to study with graduates of the Musician's Institute (MI), the California Institute of the Arts (CAL Arts) and Berklee College of Music. This has provided me with an inside look into how and what each institute teaches, as well as a first hand look at the techniques and ideas that the great players from these remarkable schools have come to produce.
My formal music education consists of 2 years at Pasadena City College where I obtained my general Associates Degree (much of the studies included music) and a semester at California State University Long Beach as a Jazz Guitar Performance Major. Additionally, I completed a great deal of California State University Long Beach's teaching credential program (focusing on the teaching of history/social studies), where I learned strategies and theories of how and what to teach my students - making me that much more knowledgable of my craft. At Pasadena City College I studied with jazz/classical guitarist, Ron Berman, who has played with such jazz greats as Herb Ellis and Jimmy Wyble. At Cal State Long Beach I studied with jazz guitarist Ron Eschete, a former teacher at MI who has toured with the likes of Ray Brown, John Dizzy Gillespie and Jim Hall.
Most importantly I hope to show you or your child a new way to love and appreciate music. And to provide you with the ability and know-how to have the most fun on your instrument as possible.
*** Lesson Details ***
Throughout my lessons, I always encourage basic skills including scales, sight-reading and technical exercises. But what I hope to give all my students is a basic understanding of music and their instrument, providing them with a practical ability to navigate the vast world of music for a lifetime.
Beyond these skills, I always have songs, styles and theory for you to work on but I am often more interested in what you as an individual want to learn on your instrument. Getting to learn concepts that you have chosen yourself will help encourage practice and will make the finished product all the more the rewarding.
I can custom tailor a teaching curriculum and/or style for any of my students: we can focus on learning songs, learning to read, how to write music, how music works, and even how to play specific styles of music (including funk, rock, jazz, Latin, flamenco, classical, country and blues). I also self tailor my own worksheets and set weekly goals with my students to help encourage practice, understanding and progress. For students interested in more advanced concepts, I can also teach ear training, music theory, advanced jazz improvisation as well as advanced playing techniques.
All this in a friendly and easy-going teaching environment.

Car History
Is the cars documentation and service history authentic?
4 Ways to tell a genuine car from a fake in under 15 minutes – my tried and tested method.
This section of The Used Car Guy is all about the real history of a used car.
There are four main elements to car history that need to be checked out before you lay a pound of your hard earned cash on a used car you're interested in buying.
- HPI Check – What Car Checks do and do NOT tell you
- MOT Check – The MOT history of a car is free, crucial information that can tell you how well any vehicle has been maintained over the years and if there are any big spend items that'll need replacing. Also, know with some certainty if the vehicle is genuine mileage
- Service History Check – Knowing if the history you're presented with is genuine or fake
- Car Owner Check – Important things to understand about a vehicles previous owners
Each page here will talk about the categories listed. These elements are extremely important. After all, you don't want to run the risk of wasting your money and buying into a lot of stress and problems a month or two down the road.
Really, there are no excuses here as the checks I lay out take no more than fifteen or twenty minutes. I'd never buy a used car from a dealer, privately, from auction or online without looking into each of these elements first. The most important check of all is running a car history check which costs around £20 if you buy a good one.
Recently, HPI Car Check introduced a cheaper car history checking service. Visit my Instant Car Check page to learn how to use their service correctly, and save yourself some money.
The remaining checks are completely free of charge. Some are done online and others on the phone. Carry out the checks BEFORE you pay a deposit or buy the car outright. You'll need a few things to carry out each check and I'll discuss those in the coming sections.
I've recently included a section for mobile mechanics that is also included in this category of my website. Find a review of a leading mobile mechanic service known as ClickMechanic.
Why take risks?
Private car buyers tend to take unnecessary risks when purchasing a new motor. My advice is to be thorough and make a little extra effort to ensure what's presented to you is genuine and real. There are a hundred ways to scam a car and deceive a unsuspecting buyer. Once you've bought that car, you're neck high in its problems and defects…So please, implement what I discuss.
More than a simple VIN check, I will show you every step to safeguarding your hard earned cash.
Get Inside the Members Area of The Used Car Guy
How would you like to get full access to the car buying knowledge and experience of The Used Car Guy?

|Yes, please
- if for some crazy reason you have a fully-refundable fare, call before the weather advisory goes into effect! You'll be able to snag exactly the seat you want before the teeming masses start calling in for their free changes.
- monitor Twitter for information about travel waivers, for better or for worse Twitter seems to be where the airlines are focusing most of their attention these days. The goal here is to get into that phone queue as soon as possible after the waiver goes out.
- if you have elite status, use the airline's elite status line to make your changes, it'll have shorter queues. If the queues are long, you can sometimes skip around them by calling one of the airline's international offices over Skype.
- while you're on hold, use Google Flights to find alternatives so you can suggest a preferred alternative when they pick up.
- be flexible. sometimes just getting there at all is more important than how you're getting there
- while there is some concept of getting a refund if you're downgraded from First Class, remember a few things: if you're on a discounted (i.e., anything that's not a fully-refundable) fare, that the fare difference is likely going to shrink very quickly as all the alternate flights fill up and the prices shoot up. Also keep in mind that during bad weather, the airlines' first duty is to get you where you're going as quickly as possible. If you want to wait an extra day or two to keep your seat in First Class you can do that, but if you choose to take a coach seat you're committing a voluntary downgrade and they don't technically owe you any money back. But if you're nice about it, you can probably get them to put you at least into Premium Economy.
- be nice to the people on the phone. I worked in a call center for years and this is spot-on. Decide before you call if you want results or if you want to yell at someone making less than minimum wage to make yourself feel better, because you don't get to do both.
- Do exactly the opposite of this if you're already in sunny Mexico and your flight home to grey and slushy New York might get canceled. We had several folks at our hotel who got told the earliest rebooking option was (gee, darn!) 6 days after their original departure date.
Some great detail about each airline's policies and contact information over at The Points Guy. Some of his weather tips are here.

Translational Therapeutics
Infrastructure and expertise for accelerating the development of new therapeutics
Program Director: Cheryl London, DVM, PhD
The Translational Therapeutics (TT) program provides infrastructure and expertise for the accelerated development of new therapeutics to advance human health. OSU and NCH support more than 25 resources, cores and centers that support translational science and bridge basic services (e.g. nucleic acid, microarray,and proteomics resources) with more clinically-oriented resources (Clinical Research Centers, GMP and biobanking facilities).
Its secondary mission is to advance integration of translational research efforts across colleges, centers and shared resources. To accomplish this, the CCTS directly supports two cores critical for moving therapeutics through the preclinical process (Drug Development and Discovery and the Comparative Animal Core) and guides project design and implementation through a newly formed Translational Therapeutics Think Tank and Drug Development Institute.
TT supports efforts of investigators to traverse the traditional T1/preclinical space and seamlessly progress to human clinical trials by:
- coordinating work in focused areas to reduce duplication of effort and maximize progress through method innovation;
- real-time communication to adjust drug design, dose and delivery that quickly facilitates lead candidate and regimen identification; and
- pooling efforts to promote novel and rapid approaches to problem-solving.
The pre-IND matrix shown below promotes open communication not only among the pods of activities, but also among the various resources to generate an environment that emphasizes innovative approaches to problem-solving and the development and application of new technologies.
Translational Therapeutics: Changing Paradigms Pre-IND
While TT focuses primarily in the pre-IND setting, a similar model is used to facilitate therapeutic success in the post-IND arena in which spontaneous disease in large animal models (primarily dogs) is integrated into the human clinical trial process. The diagram to the right depicts how this occurs during cancer drug development, but a similar scheme applies to other disease processes such as osteoarthritis, chronic renal failure, and cardiomyopathy, among others. This novel approach utilizes the concept of co-clinical trials whereby information is generated contemporaneously in dog and human studies to better guide the development pathway. In this manner, data generated in the large animal model guides both ongoing and subsequent human trials with the ultimate goal of avoiding therapeutic failure late in the process of drug development.

Tired of reading about sexy vampires having sword fights… or orgiastic love fests? What about tragically misunderstood yet sensitive and compassionate vampires? Much as MaryJanice Davidson is the godmother of vampire chick lit, Christopher Moore owns the market of the stoner-loser vampire. In Bite Me, the sequel to You Suck (which was in turn the sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends), Moore once again puts the fun in dysfunctional and demonstrates why he is the king of crass, the executor of non sequitur... err, anyway, one of the funniest fantasy authors writing today.
It starts with the sometimes narrator. Imagine Juno's snarky her... Read More
Christopher MooreChristopher Moore was born and raised in Ohio. He attended Ohio State University and Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. He moved to California when he was 19 years old and lived on the Central Coast until 2003, when he moved to Hawaii. Before publishing his first novel, he worked as a roofer, a grocery clerk, a hotel night auditor, and insurance broker, a waiter, a photographer, and a rock and roll DJ. Chris has drawn on all of these work experiences to create the characters in his books. When he's not writing, Chris enjoys ocean kayaking, scuba diving, photography, and sumi-e ink painting. He divides his time between Hawaii and San Francisco. Learn more at Christopher Moore's website.
Love Story — (1995-2010) Publisher: Here's something different: a vampire novel that's light, funny, and not at all hackneyed. Between scenes of punks bowling frozen turkeys on the graveyard shift in a supermarket, or snapping turtles loose in a loft and gnawing on designer shoes, this novel has comic charm to spare. But it also packs an appealingly downbeat message about the consumer culture: Becoming a vampire has given the twentysomething heroine "a crampless case of rattlesnake PMS" — a grumpy mood in which she realizes that she can dress to the nines as a "Donner Party Barbie" and still end up disillusioned and unhappy, just another slacker doing her own laundry and watching sucky TV 'til the sun rises. Jody never asked to become a vampire. But when she wakes up under an alley Dumpster with a badly burned arm, an aching neck, superhuman strength, and a distinctly Nosferatuan thirst, she realizes the decision has been made for her. Making the transition from the nine-to-five grind to an eternity of nocturnal prowlings is going to take some doing, however, and that's where C. Thomas Flood fits in. A would-be Kerouac from Incontinence, Indiana, Tommy (to his friends) is biding his time night-clerking and frozen-turkey bowling in a San Francisco Safeway. But all that changes when a beautiful undead redhead walks through the door… and proceeds to rock Tommy's life — and afterlife — in ways he never imagined possible.

Practical Demonkeeping — (1992) Publisher: Granted immortality by Catch, a lovable demon, a young man named Travis O'Hearn struggles to rid himself of this man-eating gremlin, who promises to make eternity hellish for him, in a supernatural comic romp through a California tourist town.
The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove — (1998) Publisher: Autumn in the sleepy California town of Pine Cove is turned upside down by the arrival of a Mississippi Delta blues musician, a huge sea serpent drawn to the sound of the steel guitar, the explosion of a tanker truck at a gas station, and a mysterious trailer that shows up in the local trailer park.
The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror — (2004) Publisher: Christmas crept into Pine Cove like a creeping Christmas thing: dragging garland, ribbon, and sleigh bells, oozing eggnog, reeking of pine, and threatening festive doom like a cold sore under the mistletoe. 'Twas the night (okay, more like the week) before Christmas, and all through the tiny community of Pine Cove, California, people are busy buying, wrapping, packing, and generally getting into the holiday spirit. It is the hap-hap-happiest time of the year, after all. But not everybody is feeling the joy. Little Joshua Barker is in desperate need of a holiday miracle. No, he's not on his deathbed; no, his dog hasn't run away from home. But Josh is sure that he saw Santa take a shovel to the head, and now the seven-year-old has only one prayer: Please, Santa, come back from the dead. But hold on! There's an angel waiting in the wings. (Wings, get it?) It's none other than the Archangel Raziel come to Earth seeking a small child with a wish that needs granting. Unfortunately, our angel's not sporting the brightest halo in the bunch, and before you can say "Kris Kringle," he's botched his sacred mission and sent the residents of Pine Cove headlong into Christmas chaos, culminating in the most hilarious and horrifying holiday party the town has ever seen.
Coyote Blue — (1994) Publisher: Sam Hunter, a yuppie salesman who has everything he needs except the beautiful Calliope's love, confronts Coyote, the Indian trickster god, and his own forgotten and buried life as Samson Hunts Alone, a native American outlaw.
A Dirty Job — (2006) Publisher: Charlie Asher is a pretty normal guy. A little hapless, somewhat neurotic, sort of a hypochondriac. He's what's known as a Beta Male: the kind of fellow who makes his way through life by being careful and constant — you know, the one who's always there to pick up the pieces when the girl gets dumped by the bigger/taller/stronger Alpha Male. But Charlie's been lucky. He owns a building in the heart of San Francisco, and runs a secondhand store with the help of a couple of loyal, if marginally insane, employees. He's married to a bright and pretty woman who actually loves him for his normalcy. And she, Rachel, is about to have their first child. Yes, Charlie's doing okay for a Beta. That is, until the day his daughter, Sophie, is born. Just as Charlie — exhausted from the birth — turns to go home, he sees a strange man in mint-green golf wear at Rachel's hospital bedside, a man who claims that no one should be able to see him. But see him Charlie does, and from here on out, things get really weird… People start dropping dead around him, giant ravens perch on his building, and it seems that everywhere he goes, a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Strange names start appearing on his nightstand notepad, and before he knows it, those people end up dead, too. Yup, it seems that Charlie Asher has been recruited for a new job, an unpleasant but utterly necessary one: Death. It's a dirty job. But hey, somebody's gotta do it.
