Great Auto Repair Pointers To Keep More Cash In Your Pocket
It can be a confusing and overwhelming to be in need of car repairs if you find yourself staring at possible auto repairs.
Ask a mechanic any questions you have at the shop. Preventing issues with your vehicle is an excellent way to save money during the year.
If you are unclear about certain things, make sure to clarify it first. You do not want to avoid being surprised with additional charges once the car is fixed.
You might not need a mechanic every time your car has problems. There are a few things that can fix easily yourself. If the job is not too complicated, you might save a bit of money if you make repairs on your own.
You should wash your car to keep the rust away. All cars will eventually rust out, so make sure that you wash your vehicle at least once a month. Use a good wax for protecting paint job as much as you can.
Keep a record of every car is fixed or maintained. If the car has other issues later, these records can come in handy.
Look at the reviews online for body shops in your area. This can give you a good idea about their customer service abilities and their skill in solving issues. This information is useful as you choose the right shop for your needs.
Be wary of mechanics that do unnecessary repairs to your vehicle. A good mechanic should let you know if they noticed parts that are starting to get worn down and will never perform work without getting your full approval. Never take your repeat business to a mechanic that preforms unnecessary repairs.
Think about finding a mechanic who fixes cars in his own garage.If they have auto repair experience they can provide quality work, you can get the same work done at a much cheaper price. You can support small business and save a lot of money by going down this route.
Just because the days are colder doesn't mean you shouldn't wash your car. Winter is when your car becomes most damage. Salt and sand from frozen streets can cause rust and other flaws.
Remember you don't have to go to your dealer to get auto repair work done. There are many technicians in proximity to your house. Find a mechanic who you are comfortable with and reliable.
Don't try to diagnose complex auto repair issues. What may seem like a simple problem to fix can be quite complex, particularly in modern cars. Let a repair shop do the problem. Let them know about any sounds you heard or what problems you have been having, but allow them to diagnose the final issue.
Be sure the mechanic you choose is certified. You might want to see if they have been approved by the ASE. This indicates that the mechanic is knowledgeable and will give you quality service.
If your money is really tight and you really need vehicle repairs, the repair department in vocational schools may offer you service at a fraction of the cost. You pay a greatly reduced rate for the repairs in return for allowing students fix your car while under the supervision of a licensed mechanic.
Don't allow people to sell auto parts to you that say they're going to last a lifetime. This is simply a lie in an attempt to take your cash. One example is that some vehicles say their transmission fluid.While you don't have to change this a lot, you will still have to change the fluid every 80,000 miles or so.
It is quite common for customers to find out about other problems when they pick up their vehicle from a repairer. They do this to make it look like you think you're getting a great deal. Tell them that you're going to have to talk to them later so that you have to think about it before accepting the deal.
Bleed your brakes before taking your car out on a test drive after you've worked on them and before you take your car out on the road. Test for leaks to be sure the fluid coming out. You can test drive your car safely on roads that don't have a lot of traffic. Start slowly to make sure that the repair is done well before risking higher speeds.
OEM is also known as the abbreviation of Original Equipment Manufacturer. Remember this when you have need to have parts on your car. You sound better educated on repairs if you ask your mechanic to install OEM parts. This tells the mechanic that you know what you're less likely to receive used parts.
Always ask questions when speaking with a mechanic. How much time will the repair take? What kind of work will be done? How much are the parts cost? Ask anything and everything that you can think of.
Do not add water for the compartment for windshield wiper reservoir. Water can clean your windshield, but since the system requires that specific fluid, but that compartment is designed only to hold a special kind of fluid. Check the windshield washer compartment regularly to see if it needs to be refilled. Don't insist if the compartment to empty before refilling.
When your car breaks down, the feeling of dread can overwhelm you. If you do not fully understand auto repairs, you could have difficulties knowing how to get your car repaired right. Hopefully, the information you just read will be useful to you in the future.


text: HARD DECISIONS: TO BE CREATIVE OR TO MAKE MONEY Jacob Stuart 05.16.14 Lifestyle, What's Really Good I staggered to the mirror, with a wee bit of blood dripping from my nose. My eyebrows spiked in a zig zag formation. I threw some cold water onto my face, but my face hadn't see sun in days, and my pale, irritated skin rejected the coldness. I turned my head, and saw an alarming amount of whiskey bottles along the floor. Half smoked cigarettes stranded along the window seals. I browsed my phone to remind myself of the date, and winced when I saw the date. It was Friday, and in a Days Inn near Pasadena, CA, rent was due. How could I, Jacob, a man on a mission: "Change The Face of Hollywood", graduate of film school, award-winning filmmaker, center of attention in High School, be locked away in a bunker they called a Motel in paradise? It was my second attempt at Hollywood. And my earnings didn't allow me to put a down payment on an apartment. So my only option was an Indian-owned Motel, where the original white sheets were now being pawned off, advertised as forest-brown linens. I scrambled through my e-mails, hoping that someone, somewhere would bring me in for an interview. I almost missed it, but I saw the "re" in the e-mail, and I knew it had to be a response. A job! Not some on-set job where creativity is stifled by brewing hot coffee in the blistering heat. But a writing job. But not any writing job, but a commercial. The job was paid. Holy Mother of God, I'm rich. The job paid 30…. $30 flat. And she wanted to meet me at Starbucks, ASAP! I shaved and put on my best blazer. I hopped in my car, not looking behind me, as it was cluttered with clothes and trash bags. I dodged oncoming traffic, not hesitating to run a red light. I held my head up high when I greeted her. Jacob, a creative genius, a paid writer, a professional. After hours of meaningless convo, she paid me half up front. $15 dollars. Do I use it for gas or booze? Booze without a doubt. As small as the job was, it evoked a sense of pride and satisfaction in me. A creative-type can get paid to create. It may be a small amount, but as soon as you are paid to be creative, you are now a professional. No more was I taking no paying jobs. And luckily, my luck changed, finding small odd jobs to larger writing jobs, some with very little pay and some with enough pay to pay 2 months rent in advance. But me and my film school friends often wonder if we are in the wrong business. $50,000-plus in debt, with Sallie Mae at our door steps, threatening to take our paper diploma away. Should we have been cops, accountants, or salesmen? Should we have a steady paycheck, and take our wives out to eat every Friday night at a 4 star restaurant? But where is the joy in a consistent life? Where is the joy of walking in a straight line, following after our father's footsteps, taking over the smalltown hardware store? I often like to think of God as a creative-type. He created a world, using his finger as a paintbrush. He worked for 6 days, and rested for one. He then wrote a book, but not any book, but the best selling book of all times, with adaptations made to film. And did He get paid for it? Well, He is the ruler of the world, so you decide… With the job market the way it is, and minimum-wage raising, making the worth of a plain hamburger at BurgerKing worth $7… where does a creative genius find work? We can't be held down. We can't be thrown in a small room, answering phone calls, using the 'Seasonal Effective Disorder' "rays" as our source of light. We must be free, and any real artist would choose poverty over being a slave at some Forbes 500 Company. But in my opinion, one does not have to choose between creativity and money. A true creative, a good one as well, will find a way to make money doing what they do best. I have. But it comes with a price. I may never be able to buy house, flooded by debt. I may have a small police record, and a problem putting down the bottle. But every morning I do want I want. And I wouldn't change that for the world. x Follow Jacob N.

Issue No. 03 - July-September (1998 vol. 4)

Abstract—In this paper, we present a new ray classification scheme that considerably reduces memory consumption while preserving its inherent time efficiency. Our key idea is due to the fact that the rays lying on the same line are duplicated over many cells in the ray classification scheme [<ref rid="bibv01931" type="bib">1</ref>]. We are thus able to lower the dimensions of the ray space by classifying lines instead of rays. Our scheme produces much simpler-shaped, compact ray cells that eventually accelerate ray shooting operations.

Ray shooting, ray classification, ray tracing, rendering.

Discussion in 'Interracial Sex Photos' started by CuckoldCouple, Jun 6, 2013.
Great picture...always have had a thing for black women. Lovely contrast in this couple
Yeah, I think I can add a few to your thread, if you don't mind ... Mac
Maybe you'll like these as well ...
I don't like them....I love them
More Cuckold Revenge .......
Funny how things work out. Before my current wife I was "dating" a black chick. Amazing skin. I can't describe. She had large lips for kissing and sucking my cock. Nice rack. Great ass. The best part was when I was as deep as I could go inside her, I would ask "is that my pussy?" and she would cum instantly shaking her head yes.
Now here I am begging someone to fuck my wife. The tables have turned.
Folks..these were funny..yea..we can take a joke..what's good for the goose is good for the gander...just can't go to far over the line into funky racist territory..but cuck's getting their revenge was funny..osp
Unfortunately, this is the position, corporate America, likes keeping Black Men..emasculated, with no juice in the decision making process unless to be ok with corporate bullshit,that kicks black folks, white folks and anybody else not cheering on the Republican, Love America or Leave It, and Drink the Kool Aid MF'er or your ass is outta here not being a team player..
Oh my, did I "hit a nerve" with those pics, OldSchool? They were posted as entertainment & humor, but maybe you read right through all that.
Actually many people HERE can attest that I'm a liberal & Democrat, and I voted for B-O both times ... so no hate or discontent is coming from me. I just like posting pics that create conversation.
So, these pics I post bother you? And if so, why? Mac
Not putting it down, but couldn't really get into the black female/white male thing as "revenge", although some of the pictures are humorous.
To me the black wife/white hubby having sex while her black husband is fucking the white guy's wife is more along the lines of showing appreciation by entertaining the black wife sexually however possible or as she desires as a sort of thank you for her sharing her husband with your wife.
I would be honored to give his wife a nice tonguing or whatever would give her pleasure while he was giving my Wife her's.
Amen...the revenge thing was funny, but I love the thread for the great IR sex with black women!
Like I said, I wasn't putting it down and totally understand the humor aspects of some of the pictures and captions.
And believe me, I am well aware that many white men are just as well endowed as black men and, while not huge by any means, my 7" x 5.5" around white weenie has never failed to make me happy!
Same here, black men/white women, white men/ black women, white women/black women, Latina, Asian, etc.- it's all good!
Not particularly into male/male activity outside of D/s, but if it floats your boat- anchors away! I'm not beyond admitting jealousy of the bodies some of those guys have, either.
The mind is the biggest, most powerful sex organ of them all and fantasy is it's main fuel.
I can totally get into a juicy fantasy story about someone of any color being in such a situation, heck, I'm a submissive that enjoys humiliation so coercion, blackmail, forced sex situations are what I thrive on as long as it is either fantasy or within the boundaries of an established D/s relationship.
I think that may be partly why I looked at it from a submissive male point of view where servicing the wife of the man giving my Wife pleasure would be a form of appreciation as well as a perceived "duty".
OK, maybe the thought of licking and sucking a juicy, delicious black cunt entered my mind as well, but just a little!
However, I did feel a little uncomfortable with a couple of photos, but in thinking about it, I would have felt the same way were the races reversed or even totally different races, so it isn't because it's white revenge on black.
But totally good with it all, so please continue!
I love black woman and having dated a few everyone of them have been submissive to me (white) one so much I felt uncomfortable for a bit with her but that was her kink and I like to please. This video, I would have no problem doing some black dudes wife, letting him watch while I have him caged up in a cb-6000. I have no problem being a white bull with an under 5"
Well, I can see where THIS thread is headed. Come to think of it, however, this site is named blacktowhite; it doesn't indicate which is black & which is white. Could just as well be black females for white males as easily as black males for white females.
Come on folks, if U dish it OUT ... be willing to take a few as well. I know there are at least 5 different "active" threads going on here that are focused specifically on white males sucking black cocks, etc. Those roles could just as easily be reversed, I know where the websites are that have those kind of pics. So, let's "just relax" on this stuff.
revenge ... reparations ... servitude ... breeding ... etc hummm, all sounds alike to me ... does it all depend on who its applying to as to whether its sensitive material or not?
Well Mac, you knew the answer to that before you posed the question lol.
As was stated earlier in the thread, I believe by OSP, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. I think the pics are funny, as are the captions.
Of course, to those who believe in black superiority/white inferiority, this stuff is heresy along the lines of Galileo saying the earth revolves around the sun.
Let me know where this abundance is so I can help them out
A little more "revenge" ... a dish best served COLD ... really COLD!
Oh GOD, Donald ... fuck my black pussy, doll ... all 'dem lies my black boifriends telling 'bout white bois not true!
Separate names with a comma.

Whilst it is tempting to use descriptive words or superlatives as brand names – they are easily picked up by consumers and tell the potential purchaser something about the quality or purpose of the goods – such terms are usually likely to be difficult to enforce as trade marks (owing to the court's reluctance to have a descriptive word monopolised by one trader) and such trade marks run the risk of being cancelled.
A recent illustration of this is a case decided involving the brand name "Supreme" which was the registered trade mark of Supreme Petfoods (Supreme Petfoods Ltd v Henry Bell & Co 2 February 2015) The trade mark owner attempted to use its registration to stop another pet food company using the word "Supreme" on their packaging. The word trade mark SUPREME which was registered for "animal foodstuffs" was held by the judge to be invalidly registered as a descriptive or laudatory term for all its specification, except small animal food where some distinctiveness was found within trader buyers.
The defendant had used "supreme" on its pet food but the judge, Mr Justice Arnold, held that "even if [the] use of the sign SUPREME would be perceived by the average consumer as partly distinctive, the fact remains that the word is descriptive or at least laudatory." There was no actual confusion. In the judge's view, the use of the sign Supreme on the defendant's pet food "does not interfere with Supreme Petfoods' ability to exploit the UK word trade mark". Further, it did "not amount to unfair competition with Supreme Petfoods and is in accordance with honest practices in industrial and commercial matters". Thus, it did not infringe and in any case the defendants had a defence as they were using it descriptively i.e. it was not "use as a trade mark". There was also evidence of honest concurrent use. Neither were the defendants committing passing off.
The case illustrates the risk of attempting to enforce a trade mark which is a laudatory or descriptive term of itself against use which could be classed as descriptive of laudatory. A separate trade mark registration using the word Supreme on a ribbon logo was held to be valid for animal foodstuffs generally. The greater trade mark value of descriptive/laudatory terms used in combination with logos (here a ribbon effect with the stylised word Supreme within it) should be noted, where such slogans are more likely to be held valid.
Burden of proof in "double identity" cases
A more technical point arises from this decision: which party bears the burden of proof in infringement proceedings in relation to damage to the functions of the trade mark?
Following a thorough assessment of the CJEU decisions in this area, Arnold J concluded that it was unclear which party bears the burden of proof in this regard where there is use of an identical mark for identical goods or services. However he declared his preferred approach to be this:
- once a trade mark proprietor has shown that there is use in relation to any of the goods or services for which the trade mark is registered, the defendant bears the burden of proving that the use does not affect, nor is liable to affect, any of the functions of the trade mark.
Arnold J held that this approach was more consistent with the CJEU jurisprudence on exhaustion of trade mark rights, although he acknowledged that an alternative view - where the defendant has the onus of proving that there is no likelihood of confusion but once it has done so, the burden passes to the proprietor to show that some of the other functions of the trade mark have been damaged - might be preferred by some, since TRIPs only requires a presumption of damage to the origin function and not any other functions of the trade mark ("it is much less obvious why such damage [to other functions] should be presumed").

Sculpture by the Sea, NSW
Red Room Education , 2016
The School
Staged on the spectacular Bondi to Tamarama coastal walk, Sculpture by the Sea, Bondi is one of Sydney's most popular events, with 520,000 visitors viewing over 100 sculptures by artists from around the world. Held since 1997, this free to the public exhibition captures the imagination of Sydney and its visitors for three weeks each spring and is the largest annual sculpture exhibition in the world.
Click here for more information.
The Project
In a special collaboration with Sculpture by the Sea, The Red Room Company hosted a series of poetic tours through Sculpture by the Sea's Mark's Park, Tamarama venue. We were joined by Fort Street High School, Barker College Junior, and members of the Art & Dementia Program.
Led by acclaimed poet Candy Royalle, the workshops used a series of quick response frameworks and activities, prompting personal student responses to the sculptures and their gorgeous sea side setting.
To read the poems written by Fort St. High School students, click here.

To read the poems written by participants from Yaralla House as part of Sculpture by the Sea's Art and Dementia program, click here.
The Poet
Candy Royalle is an award winning performing writing, performance artist, poet, storyteller, activist, educator and vulnerability advocate who fuses cinematic storytelling, poetry and unique vocal rhythms with confronting, political and heart thumping content seeking to break open closed hearts. She tackles topics ranging from sexual obsession to social injustice, exploring the human condition and illuminating the darker areas of the human psyche for her audiences. She has performed alongside many of the greats including Kate Tempest, Ursula Rucker (who said "Candy Royalle is all at once fragile, powerful, raw, sensitive, beautiful, unflinching and honest. She, her spirit and her work, will change you"), David Malouf, Shane Koyczan, Mark Tredinnick, Sarah & Phil Kay, Rives and Anis Mojgani to name a few. A festival curator described Royalle as "an act you remember for years" and the Austin International Poetry Festival Chair stated Candy had "…changed the face of poetry in Austin, forever". Few who see her can forget her intensity, her combustible blend of intellect, imagination and heart.
Candy Royalle has expanded across artistic boundaries engaging in mixed art forms and exploring those forms with various forms of writing. Most recent collaborations have been with choreographer Paea Leach for the Keir Choreography Awards where they explored the relationship between words, movement and space to critical acclaim. Candy's latest album
"Birthing the Sky Birthing the Sea" was a collaboration with the band The Freed Radicals where their musical explorations blurred the lines of rock and roll, funk, experimental soundscapes and hip hop supporting Candy's own vocal experimentations of fusing poetry with song. She has also collaborated with photographers, film makers, visual artists and classical musicians.
Her solo work has included two published collections "Love Spectacular" and "Heartbeats" which received excellent reviews with one reviewer stating: "there are some exquisite lines in this book…I am impressed by the scope of Royalle's artistic vision." Her solo tours have taken her across the nation and world. Her most recent international tour "The Butch Priestess International Tour" took in 20 cities across the UK and parts of Canada and the US with the Wales Arts Review stating Royalle delivered an "energetic, assured and startling performance. Royalle engaged and enthralled…This is the best live performance…I've heard in years". Other tours have included performances, talks and readings at The Sydney Writers Festival, The Austin International Poetry Festival, The Latitudes Festival in Toronto and The National Folk Festival to name a very small few.
Accolades include being awarded the "Big Picture Award 2015" for her piece "Memories" at the "Outside the Frame" film festival in San Francisco, the 2014 Marten Bequest Traveling Scholarship for poetry, a highly commended award for the Queensland Poetry Filmakers Challenge in 2013, winner of the World Performance Poetry Cup as well as the AIPF Excellence in Poetry Award in both 2012 and 2013. She has won numerous competitions and has been nominated and highly commended for a number of awards. Her work and opinion pieces have been published and featured both in publications and online including Fairfax's Daily Life, SBS Online, Overland Literary Magazine, Mascara Literary Review, Australian Love Poems, RN's Poetica, AIPF's Diversity anthology and many more.
Royalle's work has been covered in all major media outlets including the ABC, Fairfax, News Limited, CNN, Sky, BBC and a host of local and street press.
Candy also delivers key note speeches, most recently for Amnesty International's youth conference. She creates and facilitates workshops and masterclasses for both young people and adults, exploring the relationship between vulnerability and creation, what the ethical
obligations of artists might be and how activism can be achieved through art. Information on these workshops can be provided upon request.

5 food classes to take so you can be the star of your next holiday party
We're neck deep in holiday party season, and you're out there stressing about what you might be able to make to impress your in-laws or your parents or your judgmental friends. Never fear! We took a look around our CourseHorse offerings and found a whole bunch of cooking and alcohol classes that'll turn you into the hit of your holiday party. It's a real win/win here: You become an excellent baker or wine expert, we keep the lights on here when you book a class through us.
We know, "Ugh cupcakes we're all sick of cupcakes we hate you for bringing them up," you're thinking, but hear us out. Look at those ornament cupcakes, they look pretty cool, right? You can learn to make them, and look extremely impressive for doing so, with a class devoted to ornament cupcakes at the NY Cake Academy. Presumably less wacky than the school featured in the Police Academy movies, the Cake Academy will teach you how to make these for $75 this weekend, which gives you time to make some of your own just in time for Christmas party.
Or maybe you fancy yourself more of a budding fancy bartender. In that case, you can hit up this $75 class at Sanctuary T where you can learn how to make tea-infused drinks. Drinks with alcohol we mean of course, because what's the point of a drink at a party if it doesn't have some sort of booze in it? And sure you could just experiment on your own, but why do that and risk making something disgusting everyone hates when you can learn from someone about flavor balance and syrups and all that stuff?
It's almost time for everyone to start arguing over which champagne to get on the way to the New Year's Eve party. One friend of yours says go with the cheapest thing, another says go with something very expensive. Then there's you, with a kind of Zen calm explaining why you're picking out a specific bottle for everyone, using the knowledge you picked up at this $75 Intro to Sparkling class at New York Vinters. As for when arguments start after all the champagne has been had, we suggest you just fade away instead of trying to solve some psychodrama.
Sometimes it's not merely about drinking wine on its own. Sometimes you gotta pair it with some fancy cheese so you're feeling extra fancy. What wine though? What cheese? The Bedford Cheese Shop will teach you all about how to combine fancy cheese with sparkling wine for $65, and we think that's a deal you should take. After all, can you really put a value on learning how to humiliate your father-in-law by telling him that no, brie only goes with the sparkling Bordeaux, not the pinot noir?
What is the fanciest dessert? It's gotta be a soufflé, right? It's impossible to make correctly and it has an accent on the "e" and everything. Knowing how fancy it is, you should take this Yes, You Can Make A Soufflé class at Miette, because as the name implies, they'll teach someone who's even as dumb as you how to make a dang soufflé. It's a little pricey at $95, but if you're really looking to blow some minds at your next holiday party, showing up and casually saying "Oh I just made some soufflés, no big deal" is about as mind-blowing as it gets.

admittance, accountability, a-moving on
Monday, August 20, 2012
[Sorry, I just had to keep with the alliteration there!]
I need to face facts and admit that my nutrition hasn't been the best ever the past few weeks. I don't know why, I've just had a sudden disinterest in food. I normally *love* cooking and I have a backlog of healthy recipes to try out, but I haven't felt like making any the past few weeks. I've been staying within my calorie ranges [and, for the most part, within my macronutrient ranges] but not with the healthiest choices. I've been fudging my 5 fruits & vegetables each day, and relying heavily on... well, more processed foods. I haven't been *hungry*, so I don't eat much throughout the day and then suddenly, it's 6pm and I have 800+ calories to consume so I eat some brownies and call it a day. [No, seriously, have a look through my nutrition tracker and see how many brownies I had last week! They're my low calorie/fat recipe but still.] Like I said, not the best.
This was the second week in a row that I didn't lose much [0.2lbs added onto last week's 0.8 to make one full pound in two weeks... so, not my usual] and although I could throw a number of excuses at it [starting P90x so water retention, my body's evening out from two weeks of really big losses, etc.] I KNOW it's because of how I've been eating. It's not my exercise... that's been on point and, in fact, with the addition of P90X I've been getting strength training in regularly which was always hit-or-miss with me previously. Cardio's never been a problem with me... if anything, I'd had the mentality over the last few years that I could eat more [and of the "bad" stuff] just because I was so active. Well that's not true, as my starting weight is proof-- you can't out-train a bad diet!
I've also had way less energy-- I always wake up between 8 and 9am, but the past week I've been turning off my alarm at 9am and falling back asleep for another hour [at least! Yesterday I slept until almost noon!]. I was blaming this at first on the addition of P90X into my routine-- but I haven't done it in a few days [I took a break to get myself onto their schedule of the week's beginning starting on Monday] and I'm still lacking energy. I'm pretty sure it's because of the food I'm eating-- less fruits and vegetables, more added sugar. Ugh! I hate eating like this and feeling tired all the time, so why did I fall back into this habit?
I'm stepping up now and admitting this slight slip-up, and taking action to move on from it. Honestly, it's not THAT bad but I also don't want it to get worse. So I'm nipping it in the bud, and letting all of you know. Current mantra: more whole foods, less crap. It was working for the past six months, so why change now? Today was the first day back at the whole foods approach and it went really well.
Okay, my DELICIOUS dinner of peppers, tomatoes, spinach, and artichoke hearts on whole wheat pizza crust has finally settled into its digestive process so it's time to go do P90X.

"you can't out-train a bad diet!" I LOOOOVE this comment! I think most people have fallen prey to this. At least I have. I remember vividly a few years back when I started running for the first time eating a HUUUGE fettuccini alfredo for lunch because I "needed the extra fuel" for my 20 minute run later that day. HA!!! The misconceptions loaded into that idea boggle my mind today!
Your pizza sounds delicious! I think I might make something similar this week. I've been dying to try out this quinoa pizza crust recipe. I like using hummus as "cheese" and loading up on the veggies :-)
Doesn't it feel great to admit a slip up so you can focus on fixing it instead of focusing on beating yourself up? I know you can get through it.... you've fought through harder! Just a few re-adjustments and some mindfulness, and you'll get there.

I have had a lot of trouble lately with this as well. I am SO bored with the usual suspects so I started eating crap (plus going out of town, my bf moving, my friend visiting= lots of eating out and grandma's cooking ect ect). All in all I pretty much completely fell off the wagon. The past couple of days I have been struggling to get back on. I'm still bored with the food, though. And I over did the exercise over the weekend so my body is broken today. I went WAY over my calories today.
We can do this! Throw out those brownies if you have any left (I am throwing away the cupcakes I made with my friend and the peanut butter fudge my g-ma made me)! Eat more in the morning so you aren't tempted to cram all the calories at night!

In many life-saving surgeries, blood transfusions can be essential to success. Now the latest techniques in bloodless surgery are allowing more and more people to undergo some of the riskiest of surgeries without needing a transfusion.
The latest beneficiary of the bloodless technique is 7-month-old Aiden Michael Rush, who is recovering in Los Angeles after a liver transplant a little over 2 weeks ago at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Aiden was born with an abnormality of his liver that was causing it to fail. His living grandmother donated part of her liver to baby Aiden to save his life.
And while Aiden is blissfully unaware of his brush with death, Aiden's mother Heather is thankful that her beliefs about transfusions did not have to prevent his surgery. "It worked out great, and we're so happy for Aiden and other kids," says mother Heather Rush. "We're gonna be able to use the same techniques for them now."
Both grandma and Aiden are doing fine, and their livers should regenerate in a matter of months.
How does the bloodless surgery technique work?
Doctors reuse the blood that is lost. Basically recycling it so that no new blood is needed. They also give a drug that boosts the production of red blood cells so that blood is replaced by the body quicker than normal. It's a technique that can be used in many surgeries that involve transfusion and will help many more people than just Jehovah's Witnesses avoid transfusion.
Is there a difference in risk in this kind of surgery between adults and children?
Children have less blood in circulation simply because they're smaller. Doctors have to make sure they lose as little as possible because they can't afford to lose as much as an adult.
This is not the first time that a Jehovah's Witness has refused medical treatment.
No. It's a common ethical dilemma. And a theme that has become the subject of prime-time drama in television shows like ABC's The Practice.
In that scenario, the woman in the show recovered from her accident before the issue of a transfusion became critical. Hopefully these new techniques will allow an easier way to resolve similar real-life dilemmas.

Discover The Top Vineyards On The East Coast Aug 15, 2016 by Sarah (Awesome Escape Blogger)
If you're a wine enthusiast, traveling is a great opportunity to discover new wineries and local wines in beautiful locales. We all want an opportunity to enjoy the fine wines of Bordeaux, Tuscany, or Marlborough in person; in the United States, most people are familiar with the Napa Valley and up-and-coming vineyards in Washington and Oregon. But there are some fantastic wineries that explore the unique land and grapes grown on the Eastern Seaboard, from perfect Rieslings to effervescent Moscato. Discover one of these eight fantastic vineyards when you're looking for your next destination, from Virginia to Nova Scotia.
Jefferson Vineyards, Virginia
Jefferson Vineyards is located in Charlottesville and is known to have one of the young region's most consistent track records when it comes when it comes to the quality of the wine it produces. The vineyard was named after Thomas Jefferson, as the Founding Father always had a dream of winemaking in Virginia—and he would be proud of his followers' success. The contemporary vineyard has been awarded for their Viognier and Meritage. When producing their wine, they only use grapes grown in Virginia and don't use commercial concentrates or additives to help intensify the taste of their wine. Owned by the Woodward Family, Jefferson Vineyards has spent over three decades replanting their grapes in select sites that provide them with better vines suited to the soil profile of the land. Today, they have four different types of grapes on four different sites that offer the best in air and water drainage as well as protection from harsh weather.
Black Ankle Vineyards, Maryland
The rolling hills of Maryland are home to a small number of dedicated but relatively unknown wineries. Black Ankle Vineyards in Mt. Airy has developed some new wines in small batches—if you're visiting, don't forget to purchase whatever is available because there's a good chance it will sell out before you return. The winery planted their grapes for the very first time in 2003 and 2004, clearing 22 acres of gentle slopes and using the wood and stone on the property for their charming brewery and house. They had their first harvest in 2006 where the wine hung out in barrels until it was ready for bottling in 2008. The crew works diligently to ensure the grapes have the best sun and the best wind to produce the best wine possible. If you're in the area, you can try one of their wines and enjoy a selection of local cheese and picnic items or even bring a picnic basket of your own for an idyllic outing in the sun.
Trump Winery, Virginia
Trump Winery is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with 1,300 acres of fine terroir dedicated to a variety of grapes that produce white, red, and sparkling wine. Before the Trumps assumed ownership, the winery had been developed by Patricia Kluge and won numerous awards, especially for their sparkling wines. Purchased by Donald Trump in 2011, it is now owned and managed by his son, Eric Trump. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Trump Winery is Virginia's largest vineyard and the largest vinifera (Old World) vineyard on the East Coast. The vineyard has a luxurious 26,000 square feet boutique hotel on the historical Albemarle Estate. The hotel opened a new tasting room in 2011 where they provide their guests with a relaxing atmosphere, top quality gourmet cuisine, and spectacular views of the surrounding fields.
Old Westminster Winery, Maryland
Maryland is not considered a traditional wine region but these artistic vintners are trying to put the state on the map. Old Westminster Winery is a family vineyard run by a trio of dedicated siblings who manage the fields by hand. They plant, pick, and inspect their grapes with a light had to preserve the unique characteristics of each vineyard—half of the grapes grown at the winery and the other half found on neighboring farms to capture the many flavors of the differing geology, light, and air. They bottled their first round of wine in 2013 and invited hundreds of wine enthusiasts to help them celebrate their first wine release. They now produce about 30,000 bottles of wine annually. They've now opened their tasting room, which is a great place for people to relax, spend time together and enjoy wine. If you visit, don't leave without trying their Chardonnay and their red blend, Tapestry—the two most popular wines.

Over the weekend, the St. Louis Blues came to an agreement with highly touted wing prospect Vladimir Tarasenko. Kevin gave his thoughts on the impact 'The Tank' could have immediately.
How excited should fans be about Vladimir Tarasenko joining the Blues? For a national coverage perspective, Kevin talked with Ryan Kennedy, associate senior writer for The Hockey News.

United right could be contender, poll says. OTTAWA — A united right-wing party would be a strong threat to form the next federal government, a new opinion poll suggests, providing added pressure on the Progressive Conservatives and the Canadian Alliance to form a union.
Perhaps what the public is looking for is simply, as the article says, an alternative to the Liberals? Do Canadians actually know what a "united right" would look like? It's a mistake to think that PC and Alliance supporters are simply looking for the parties to "pull it together" as Chuck Strahl suggests. I could never vote for a party that is committed to the kinds of changes in our democracy that the Alliance espouses.

Keith H. Emerson
Keith H. Emerson, 92, of Luray, passed away peacefully Feb. 7, 2017.
He was born Feb. 4, 1925, in Luray, to the late Milton E. Emerson and Elmer Wood Emerson.
At age 18, Mr. Emerson enlisted in the U.S. Army and served with Gen. George Patton's Third Army in the World War II campaign to liberate Europe. He was among the early American troops to enter the Dachau Concentration Camp in southern Germany after its liberation in April 1945. He graduated from Luray High School after the war.
Mr. Emerson briefly attended Shepherd College, then started a 39-year career at Shenandoah National Park, where he retired as the foreman for buildings and utilities maintenance, managing crews and facilities from Front Royal to Rockfish Gap, a distance of 105 miles. Mr. Emerson, who knew every acre of Shenandoah National Park, began his career there as a ranger and later worked as the park's sign maker, producing many of the large, routed redwood and cypress signs that still stand. He declined several transfer offers that would have taken him and his family to national parks as far away as California.
Throughout his life, Mr. Emerson had strong connections to the Blue Ridge Mountains and the people who inhabited them. As a boy, he often accompanied and worked with his father, who owned trail horses and oversaw the operation of Freeman Pollack's stables at the Skyland resort before the land became a national park. At age 11, Keith Emerson attended the park dedication at Big Meadows, where President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke on July 3, 1936.
In the spring of 1953, Mr. Emerson met Gayle Peters of The Plains at the wedding of his nephew and her first cousin. He served as the best man, she as the maid of honor. Six weeks later, the couple eloped to North Carolina and married. Mr. and Mrs. Emerson built a house behind his childhood home and stayed there the rest of his long and truly wonderful life.
Mr. Emerson was a former commander of VFW Post 621 in Luray and a founder of its color guard. He also was a former member of American Legion Post 22, a former member of the town's volunteer fire department and a member of the Luray United Methodist Church. He and other veterans built the VFW Ballpark in Luray after World War II.
After retiring a month before his 61st birthday, he and his wife traveled widely. He was an avid reader who particularly enjoyed Civil War and World War II history. Mr. Emerson also became well known around Luray for his daily, three-mile walk that started before dawn, and for dutifully raising an American flag in front of his home each morning.
Upon retirement in January 1986, Mr. Emerson recalled in a Page News and Courier interview that seeing a female bobcat and its two kittens ranked among the most memorable experiences during his career. At work, he also once stepped on a copperhead, which left two fang marks in one of his boots. He killed the poisonous snake.
Survivors include his wife of 63 years, Gayle P. Emerson; two sons, Lawrence K. Emerson and wife Ellen of Warrenton, and Philip G. Emerson and wife Beth of Williamsburg; two grandchildren, Katherine Emerson and Peyton Emerson; a nephew, James M. Emerson Jr.; a niece, Maryglenn Bare; and extended family members.
His four older siblings, Everett L. Emerson, Thelma Emerson Nevitt, James M. Emerson and Geraldine Emerson Woodward, preceded him in death.
The Rev. William A. Ricketts Jr. conducted a memorial service with military honors Saturday, Feb. 11, in the pavilion at Beahm's Chapel Cemetery. A reception followed at American Legion Post 22.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Luray Volunteer Fire Department, 1 Firehouse Lane, Luray, Va. 22835; or the Luray Volunteer Rescue Squad, P.O. Box 266, Luray, Va. 22835. (Paid Obituary)

Surely it should be simpler?
That was the thought that possessed Mark after completing an honours degree in exercise physiology, a demanding course of studies deeply entrenched in western health science. As a professional AFL player, Mark's already-deep understanding of exercise and nutrition was rooted in high-performance health science - and he'd even brought Transcendental Meditation into the locker-room as a 19 year old sportsperson looking for something... better.
But the years of training and study hadn't provided the holistic answers he was looking for. A volunteer trip to South East Asia for an aid organisation changed all that.
Mark witnessed masses of the incredibly poor who were, unaccountably, happy.
"…everyone is still raving about it!"
So began Mark's research into Eastern medicine. After years of studying the world's healthiest, longest living people and formal training in Ayurvedic medicine, Mark wrote 'Ancient Wisdom for Modern Health' about the simple, forgotten wisdoms that form the secret to a happy, healthy life at home and at work.
Mark's continued research has led him to study those business successes who also manage happy work-life balance, a topic particularly close to his heart after losing his wife to stress-related breast cancer. This personal tragedy deepened his empathy for those suffering from health issues that could be prevented and motivated him to continue his studies into the latest science on mind-body medicine & positive psychology.
Throughout history we have always had people invested in health, and their collective ancient understanding still holds tremendous value to peoples throughout the world. The combination of modern and ancient systems of health provide a balanced approach that simplifies the prevailing confusion in our lives.
By helping to create systems where people focus on reducing stress and increasing happiness we consciously work towards a more healthy, productive life (and workforce!).
For businesses, it's a no-brainer! A motivated, happy team has fewer sick days and better results.
Consciousness is key - by actively developing and raising our awareness, we naturally promote the happiness that is a large component in a healthy life.

|Reviews for You Know You're Obsessed When
| WeirdLittleStories chapter 2 . 7/12/2013
You've read both of Leonard Nimoy's autobiographies.
You have Leonard Nimoy's record albums.
You feel sad for Mr. Nimoy that it cost him so much to carry Spock around in his head, yet at the same time, you think it was an immense privilege.
You married a man who is tall, slender, and dark-haired. You married a man who is a highly intelligent scientist with strong senses of decency and loyalty. You married a man who has a long, thin face. The man you married is not upset when you make the connections, because he understands that being compared to Spock is a compliment.
| Summer of '69 chapter 5 . 3/15/2013
I don't know anyone with the last name McCoy, but I do want to cure cancer and name my first male child Leonard (I have good reason for that), but nickname him Bones.
| Pipamonium chapter 3 . 8/12/2012
I just comment on the last chapter - 'course I didn't meet someone named McCoy but I know someone that acts like him.
'You meet someone with the name McCoy and call them Bones.
Then unnerve that person when you explain why you just called them Bones.'
My friend has a tendency to say things like "I'm not a ..." and I swear to you she has never seen an episode of Star Trek - any verse.
| Pipamonium chapter 2 . 8/12/2012
I cracked up at #7. I don't need plastic surgery to get Vulcan eyebrows or ears. I actually have pointed ears (not completely Vulcan points but there is no mistaking my points - I got called an elf a LOT when I was a kid) and my eyebrows don't curve, they sweep up then have a sharp turn down at the ends. I could shave off the end bit and have Vulcan brows. MWUAHAHAHAHA. I have had debates about Spock, NuSpock, and MirrorSpock. My husband puts his fingers in his ears and goes 'LALALALA' when anything that sounds even close to Spock passes my lips to avoid getting into a debate. I use big technobable Spockian words, but I know what they mean. I have a friend who is SO a female McCoy. We constantly bicker (in a friendly way) because we rarely see eye to eye even when we agree with the eventual outcome - she always wants to take the emotional way while I wish to take the logical rout. She isn't even a Trekkie and has NO idea why I call her 'Bones'.
| Pipamonium chapter 1 . 8/12/2012
I love these kinds of lists. I have a couple of quick comments: I am a complete TOS fan. It's the only series I like and I watch. I prefer the original cheesy special effects over the revamped stuff because they're the cheesy effects - classic! I have a three year old daughter, she comes running at the first note of the Star Trek theme song, recognizing it instantly. She knows every episode of TOS and TAS. Something to add to your list: you have regular philosophical discussions about various aspects of your preferred show. I have these discussions in public, frequently. Actually Star Trek is one of my favourite topics of discussion. My other favourites are Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and Sherlock Holmes (and Sherlock). I regularly embarrass my husband by letting my inner geek fly. I have been voted 'most likely to start quoting Star Trek' by my church group. Oh! Another thing I end up talking about a LOT is comparisons of TOS and NuTrek.
So that's my random comment. Cheers!
| ra chapter 2 . 7/19/2012
Omfg, a Kirk chapter would be so great!
Hehehe, i dont know if i should be scared or proud that i can relate to 80% of these!
| 4th6thDoc chapter 3 . 9/9/2011
"Even though he will never replace good ol' Kelley, you love Karl Urban. I mean, who can resist those eyes? And that face, that body..."
Oh, ain't this the truth... I adore De and his "McCoy" but Karl's a very close second, whoo!
GREAT lists, btw! I laughed at many of them for their veracity (did Spock use that word?)
| 4th6thDoc chapter 1 . 9/9/2011
Love the list, but I don't get "47 is your favorite number."
I esp loved the one about how we don't get why people don't love Star Trek. I was thinking that just recently, I don't GET IT, it's so awesome!
| Anahita Unduli II chapter 5 . 8/31/2011
fav chapter definitely! and i'm the trekkie and star wars person surprisingly, though at least you get my point about the books and the prequels being good!

pleeeeeeaaaassssseeee do a kirk/shatner one! i would love to read it!
| Mystic Angel 007 chapter 3 . 4/22/2011
This is my fav chapter, Im a Kelley FanGirl
| vikky-leigh chapter 5 . 3/24/2011
The Sith did, in fact, use lightsabers that weren't red. The first lightsabers, invented by the sith, were actually orange in color, and were used by jedi and sith alike. Later, when the selfrecharging power-packs were invented, and people began to use naturally occurring crystals to focus their lightsabers, the sith used blue and green crystals the same as jedi, because those were the most common colors. Red is simply the color of all synthesised lightsaber crystals. It wasn't for a long time that red began to be associated with the sith, and blue and green with the jedi, bacause the jedi traditionally got their crystals from the caves of illum. But lighsabers can be in any color as long as there is an avaliable crystal.
Ok, So rereading that, I just realised how incredibly nerdy I sound. I swear I'm really not that bad. I read it a while ago because i was bored, and I have a photographic memory.
| Rose-de-Noire chapter 1 . 11/30/2010
only the "watching every day" and last thing on this list I didn't an' just because off the money...
Hell, I'm a trekkie an' proud of it every single day!...
even if it is most illogical. *big grin*
| IluvSpock chapter 2 . 10/31/2010
OMG! Like atleast 98% of that works for me. Is that sad? I don't know, but I'm definitely in love with Spock! Thanks for writing this! :D
Live long and prosper! :D
P.S. One that I can add. I say live long and prosper at the end of all of my reviews. That definitely says something. I think I might be obsessed. . . :D

Lord of the Flies
simons death
in what ways is simons death symbolic?
in what ways is simons death symbolic?
We must first understand what Simon represents in the novel. From the beginning, Golding develops Simon as a Christ-figure. Simon takes on many of the characteristics that Christ had. Simon does not say too much but when he does speak it is to reveal some sort of truth. He defends the weak (Piggy,littluns) and he prefers to think in solitude. Simon is the only boy who understands the nature of the Beast; he knows the beast lives within all the boys. So, it is fitting when Simon scrambles down the mountain to tell the boys the "good news" (The beast that they see is just a dead pilot), Simon is brutally killed. In trying to save the boys from themselves Simon is murdered. If you check out the last paragraph when Simon is killed (the language turns almost spiritual) Golding leaves us no doubt that Simon was the boys' Christ figure and he is sacrificed.
aren't there any moe symbols?
Well, more simply, Simon's death means the destruction of wisdom. Without any wisdom to guide them, the boys are damned. Take a look at the last paragraph of his death. Golding talks about moonbeams and fiery creatures taking Simon back. This is symbolic of angels and angelic devices taking back the divine and the wise.
Wouldn't Piggy represent wisdom though?

Bad Points
Lots of the same colors in the game, lot of Orange.
When playing LAN and cooperative Death Match and entering an elevator, games of other players crash. (not compatible)
General Comments
Very nice graphics, very good sounds, nice intro movie, and above all the weapons, especially the Railgun and the BFG.
Nobody can hide for them AND it runs on every Windows from 95-Vista.
Quake 2 is one of the best FPS games in the world I feel.
I also liked the original quake which had very good graphics at the time.
I love Quake so much that I've bought Quake, Quake2, Quake 3 Arena and even Quake 4.
