Every vehicle has a specific set of requirements and specifications for the tires it needs to meet driving safety standards. These standards determine which tires were mounted on your vehicle when it was delivered by the manufacturer.
Installing tires that don't meet the manufacturer's recommendation - the wrong size, speed rating, or load index—can have a serious, negative impact on the performance and safety of your vehicle.
Please consult your vehicle's owner's manual to ensure that you are replacing your tires with ones that will fit your vehicle and driving conditions. If you're looking for recommendations on a new set of tires, we invite you to stop by any Pep Boys location, where a friendly associate can advise you as to which tires are right for your vehicle.

Product Description
Our delicious Organic Tibetan Goji berries are SA (Soil Association) certified and are free of pesticides and sulphites.
In our opinion the perfect Goji can only be found from the Tibetan Plateau. Our delicious Goji berries are plump and tasty and an ideal snack with no added "free-sugar".
We are Soil Association certified and all our berries have lab analysis reports conducted when we import each batch. These organic Goji berries have NO Pesticides, NO Sulphites and are preservative free.
Our Zen Valley team personally visited and investigated most of the major Goji plantations in Ningxia, Tibet and Inner Mongolia, before deciding on, in our opinion, the best Organic Goji Berries China has to offer!
Organic Tibetan Goji Berries are the produce of those plantations under modern organic farming management and certified by EU organic certification bodies. The farms lie in one of the most remote areas on the planet – the Tibetan Plateau.
Located in the heart of the Tibetan Plateau, an oasis valley 3000m above the sea level, our Goji plantations are irrigated by the water from the nearby head-streams of – the Yellow river, Yangtze river and Mekong river, as well as pure glacier water. Our berries are then hand picked and air dried making the whole process a greener experience.
At the high altitude our Goji enjoy plenty of sunshine, a wide day to night temperature difference, clear air, pure water melted from the nearby glaciers and a mineral-rich alkaline soil to naturally create, what we feel, a superior quality Goji berry.

André Dubonnet entered an H6C Boulogne in the 1924 Targa Florio. Powered by a 7,982 cc (487.1 cu in) straight 6 (estimated to produce 195 hp (145 kW)), Dubonnet demanded a maximum body weight of 100 lb (45 kg), and the aircraft maker Nieuport- Astra complied with tulipwood strips (later determined to have been mahogany), fastened to an aluminium frame with thousands of tiny rivets. Dubonnet finished the gruelling event without a body failure, and drove home to Naples afterward. This vehicle is currently housed at the Blackhawk Museum near Danville, California.

It used to be that bullying was a personal thing. You would know exactly who it was that was bullying you, and they, in turn, would know who it was that they were bullying. I remember the good old days of running home with someone following close behind trying to shock me (quite literally) or insults being thrown at me across the hall. And those really were the good old days. These days, you rarely know your bully.
With the internet growing bigger every day, it is a lot easier to voice your opinion on anything and everything that you find, and you can even do it completely anonymously. And while this power can be used for good, a lot of people use it for evil. Some people call them trolls, but having been the victim of bullying, I recognise a bully when I see one. There is a huge difference between offering constructive criticism and trying to put a person down, and a lot of the comments out there serve no other purpose than to cause others pain and humiliation.
Cyber bullying is a cause that has struck the hearts of many as people have been realising just how easy it is for bullies to gain access to a computer and wreak havoc. In 2011, research in the US found that almost half of all American teens are affected by cyber bullying, and the majority of those who were bullied had no idea who the perpetrators were. With suicide rates in teenagers steadily rising due to bullying in general (not just cyber), campaigns have been on the rise in the US and across Europe to put a stop to the problem. Legislation to prevent cyberbullying has even also been introduced in a number of States in the US, and it's not just the government clamping down.
Riot Games have taken a strong stance on bullying and harassment in League of Legends, a popular, free, multiplayer online game. It is common for players of the game to be told that they are noobs (newbies, insinuating that they don't know what they are doing), mocked, ridiculed, criticised and generally harassed by other players who feel that they either know better or are more experienced. Often the comments go beyond the game itself and become racist, sexist or homophobic. Having introduced a method for reporting players for verbal abuse, Riot Games have recently gone a step further in the prevention of such bullying by issuing bans for players who continually receive negative reports. Over the last two months, four professional gamers have been banned for verbal abuse and bad sportsmanship. The Escapist quotes Dustin Beck, the vice president of eSports at Riot, as explaining: "We take sportsmanship and player behavior very seriously, and we fundamentally believe that pro players should not be exempt from scrutiny over their behaviour."
It is certainly a step in the right direction, as it goes to show that bullying will not be tolerated, even in the big leagues so to speak. And they are not alone in showing their support for victims of bullying. The It Gets Better Project, aimed at providing support for LGBT teenagers who have been targets of harassment, has a collection of YouTube videos of support from a range of sources – from fellow teens, parents, family, friends and other victims, to celebrities like Neil Patrick Harris and even President Barack Obama.
So, to those trolls, those bullies, I would like to suggest that while it is all too easy to get pulled into the web of anonymity and say whatever is on your mind, perhaps you should take a moment to think of what it is that we are saying and how it is affecting those around you. After all, one person's criticism is another's dynamite. And to those victims of bullying and harassment, you are not alone. It DOES get better.

Singer/actor Ricky Martin has won over theater critics with his Broadway bow in the revival of Evita, with one reviewer insisting the Latin superstar is "easily the best thing" about the revamped production.
The Livin' la Vida Loca hitmaker portrays Che Guevara in the musical, opposite Argentine actress Elena Roger, and the show has been receiving top reviews from reporters following its official opening at New York's Marquis Theatre on Thursday.
Steve Suskin from trade paper Variety writes, "Director Michael Grandage scores with a dynamic new Evita, graced by an impressive performance from Argentinean actress Elena Roger and the ticket-selling presence of recording star Ricky Martin, who acquits himself nicely if not remarkably."
The New York Daily News' Joe Dziemianowicz, who gives Evita four out of five stars, claims Martin "gives an appealing performance" as Guevara, delivering his songs with "gusto", while the New York Post's reviewer fetes the sexy star as "a supernova of charisma", and David Rooney of The
Hollywood Reporter writes, "(Martin's) dramatic presence could be more aggressive, but Martin's Latin-pop vocals are a smooth fit for the role."
The Associated Press' Mark Kennedy adds, "He sings beautifully, dances gracefully, athletically climbs ladders, plays his role with a knowing sneer and elicits drools in his suspenders and tight white shirt. He even makes a mustache work. In fact, maybe it's time for Broadway to have a new rule: Put Ricky Martin in everything… Heck, put him in Mary Poppins and watch the roof really lift off."
However, some critics weren't quite so convinced by Martin's performance – Ben Brantley of The New York Times is full of praise for Roger, who he calls "a sensation", and the "sterling Michael Cerveris" as Juan Peron, but he feels they are supported by a "barely there" Martin.
Roger also received some criticism for her vocals, with a writer for the Bloomberg News commenting, "In her Broadway debut, Roger has plenty of the star quality Evita sings about. I worry how long her voice, a little brittle at the top, will hold up, even on a limited performance schedule."

My other half keeps hinting that I don't love him anymore as I'm not jumping on him like I used to. It's not that at all and I have told him so its just that I have no energy and to be honest I don't feel like it. I'm still waiting for a date for my first lap as I haven't had formal diagnosis yet. People have noticed I have started to walk with a stoop and limp, I try not to but that's also due to pain. Sorry to moan but feel lonely as no one really understands in the outside world they just think I'm putting it on sometimes

The Hawaii legislature's special session for marriage equality is already advancing; after a full day of testimony Monday, the state Senate Judiciary and Labor Committee voted 5–2 to advance the bill. Some 1,000 people signed up to testify, though it seems not that many people actually did. The now advances to the Senate, where it is expected to pass.
Meanwhile, the Hawaii House Judiciary and Finance committees has scheduled a hearing for Thursday morning to begin its consideration of the bill. According to Hawaii News Now, the House also has the votes it needs to pass the bill, with at least one to spare.
Rhetoric from opponents of the bill has been incredibly incendiary, especially from the Hawaii Republican Assembly (HIRA), which bills itself as "the conscience of the Republican party." A radio ad the group is running suggests that marriage equality will "normalize all sorts of deviant behavior," even suggesting that churches will be forced to marry same-sex couples. HIRA is also distributing pamphlets from Massachusetts hate group MassResistance, which warn of kids being taught about same-sex marriage in school and concluding that "homosexuals' relationships are fundamentally dysfunctional."
The National Organization for Marriage is also running a television ad claiming that if Hawaii lawmakers pass marriage equality, they'd be "damaging our people." Watch it:

My Virtual Blog Tour ended earlier this month and I'm ready to share the goods and the bads and the ups and the downs. The Tour was arranged by Goddessfish Promotions and began in late December and continued until the middle of April. What would happen was Goddessfish would coordinate with a book review blogger to schedule a day where that blogger would post an advertisement for my book or interview with me or an excerpt from one of the books or some other piece of content relating to Grant Scotland. Then all of that blogger's followers would see the post and comment on it in order to be eligible for an Amazon Gift Card. Goddessfish scheduled on average about two bloggers a week, generally Tuesdays and Thursdays, but sometimes Mondays and Wednesdays, and each one was pretty good about posting something different so followers were encouraged to "follow" the tour from one site to another.
Sounds great, right? I had been skeptical about the true advertising power of this sort of thing, since I found it difficult to imagine there were that many book-blog sites, not to mention active members who visited them frequently. I mean, do you visit blogs that talk about books on any sort of regular basis? I mean JUST books. This site doesn't count, since it's my personal blog where I also talk about being an author – I rarely talk about what I'm reading/have read. I'm talking about "fan sites" for fantasy, romance, sci-fi, etc. Do you ever go to these sites and hang out and talk about books?
Yeah, neither do I. Nevertheless, a blog tour was something I had to try, since I couldn't very well claim I was taking this self-publishing enterprise seriously if I didn't try it at least once.
It turns out once is enough. Probably more than enough. That is to say, I'm never doing anything like it ever again. Not on my dime, anyway.
First off I want to say that Marianne and Judy at Goddessfish were very nice and professional. I have nothing but good things to say about them. However, I can't recommend their services, because my own results were so disappointing. In fact, so bad was my experience that I feel I have to warn other self-published authors to save their money and keep away from blog tours in general.
So, what was so bad? Well, mainly the biggest problem became apparent fairly early on. After the first few stops on the tour, it became obvious that each time a blogger hosted a blog post about Grant Scotland, the same 6 or 8 people would comment – on every site. That is, there didn't seem to be separate followers on separate sites. It was always the same names, no matter if it was a site that claimed it mostly liked romance books or mostly liked fantasy books. Oh, and almost all of them mostly liked romance books, judging by their style and sidebar content and advertising.
So, the audience was frustratingly small, but that's okay, nobody was buying anything anyway. I ran kindle countdown deals on all four books and Goddessfish made sure the deals were advertised on every site where Grant Scotland was featured, but not a single sale was recorded (not entirely true, but let's just say I noted no "spike" in sales). Well, unless some sales happened during the Bookbub promotion period, but the tour had already been going on for almost two months by that time so I find it unlikely.
But I had heard blog tours were a great way of generating reviews and I had sent out free e-copies of all the books, so I was looking forward to getting a few Amazon reviews at least. Nope. Not one. I did, however, get four very enthusiastic reviews on Harlie's Books by someone who clearly actually read all four books. So, that was nice, but it would have been nicer if those reviews had made it on to Amazon.
But did I make any new friends, at least? Hard to say. I know I have new followers to the blog and Facebook pages, but whether those people are here for the content or the promise of giveaways, it's impossible to tell.
Well, I guess it's not impossible. I could always just cancel the giveaways and see if anyone sticks around. In fact, I think I'll do that. I've been mulling it over and doing extra reading about mailing lists and giveaways and authors and I've come to the conclusion that mailing lists and giveaways are GREAT ways to get a ton of followers, but they don't do squat in terms of building an audience. An audience is composed of readers and they're not the ones making the rounds from site to site trying to get free stuff. Those are internet gypsies. Additionally, every person I've seen advocating for mailing lists and giveaways ultimately turns out to be someone trying to sell me something. Sure, they may also be an author (although I'm highly dubious of this in each and every case) but they always put way more effort into talking up some pay-to-play service instead of what's cool or interesting about their books, writing, etc.
So, no more mailing list. You're just going to have to bookmark me or sign up to follow the blog by email (although I've found in my personal experience that wordpress emails often get filtered to the junk folder) and just keep an eye on the blog. I'm sure at some point in time in the future I'll give away free stuff in some off-the-cuff contest, but doing the whole Mailchimp/Rafflcopter/Twitter Ads route just isn't for me.
As for Blog Tours, Goddessfish offers some very reasonably priced options if you're a self-pubber and you're thinking that maybe you can change some internet gypsies into book buyers and fans. I chose the biggest/most expensive option because I figured in-for-a-penny-in-for-a-pound and obviously can't at all recommend it. Maybe stringing together a few cheaper tours might yield better results for you.
I just re-read what I wrote and it sounds like I'm down on self-publishing and I'm not. Absolutely not. Although the industry is swarmed by pirates and snake oil salesmen, it's still very rewarding to have almost complete control over your own work. I am, however, almost certain at this point that a hybrid approach is the best way to go. If I can get some stories or novels traditionally published it will make it much easier to get my self-published stuff in front of a much wider audience. I guess to look at myself as objectively as possible, I'm moving away from being a true self-publisher and towards being an author who self-publishes. True, this really only works for authors who have already attained some measure of success in traditional publishing, but I'm glad I went the self-pub route first. This entire experience has been very interesting and has given me a lot of confidence in my writing that I realize now I desperately needed in order to take myself seriously. Also, I think if I hadn't tried it first, I'm not sure I ever would have.
I'm still deeply suspicious of traditional publishing, though. I've heard many horror stories from many authors about being badly mishandled and then having to live with not having rights to their own work when their publisher drops them. That makes me cringe and it's something I'll never let happen to the Adventures of Grant Scotland. I'm way too invested in that series to ever hand it over. Well, never say never, I guess. At any rate, I realize I should start writing a stand-alone novel (not related to the series, but probably a sci-fi or fantasy book) and see if I can attract an agent, but I'm committed to getting AoGS to six books first. Right now the plan is to keep writing Grant Scotland (outline and first chapter of book 5 done so far) but also crank out at least two more short stories by year's end and put those on the magazine merry-go-round with the other two I've finished.
But I might start putting together something for an agent sooner rather than later. Probably should. I'll keep you posted.
Happy spring, everyone! A great time to make new plans and start new projects!

Rain combined with the warm weather makes conducive conditions for mosquitoes. The mosquito requires an aquatic habitat for their early development stages. Effective mosquito control begins with the first step in simply removing standing water sources from your property. So if you have tried to get rid of mosquitoes yourself and are wondering why you still have them, this may be the reason why.
Get rid of mosquitoes
Below is our checklist to reduce activity in your backyard and help you get rid of mosquitoes:
- Standing water from recent rains should be eliminated – any area where rainwater can collect for example blocked guttering, should be fixed ensuring the water flows away from the house.
- Check your yard for harborage areas – get rid of any old containers and used tires. If keeping any old containers then turn them upside down so they can't collect any water in when it rains. Old tires are a classic hiding spot for the larvae, if filled with water then empty.
- If your lawn dries out from all the rain we've had, don't be tempted to over water it. Standing water is a source for mosquito eggs.
- Ensure doors are properly screened. Make a walk around your property checking each window and door for any screen damage.
- Fish will eat mosquitoes. Consider an ornamental pond which will help reduce mosquitoes.
- Wading pools and swimming pools should either be emptied or covered.
- If you have a boat or a canoe, cover it up or turn it over.
- Ensure ditches are cleared of any debris, enabling them to drain properly.
- Empty and refill birdbaths once a week.
- Fill in mud puddles.
- Rain barrels should be screened at the surface which will prevent mosquitoes laying their eggs.
- Use sodium vapor and/or yellow bug lighting outside instead of mercury vapor lighting.
Mosquitoes in Research
Recent research has shown mosquitoes carrying the malaria parasite are three times more attracted to human scent. So when you are outside getting all hot and bothered or cooking on the grill, the infected mosquitoes will hone in on your scent and use you as their meal ticket, possibly infecting you with the virus.
Mosquito Control
The good news is we at Four Seasons | HomeTown Pest Control do mosquito control yard sprays, which can dramatically reduce the number of mosquitoes you have. Follow our simple steps for removing all standing water sources combined with a regular mosquito control yard spray and you are sure to be mosquito free.
Four Seasons | HomeTown provides pest control services in Dare, Currituck, Camden, Hyde, and Pasquotank counties up through to Newport News, Chesapeake, Gloucester, Hampton and Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Williamsburg. Enquire with your local technician or contact us today to find out more about our effective mosquito control and other pest control services available in your area.

Tripps Travel Network presents the City of San Antonio, Texas. As the seventh most populated city in the US and the second in Texas, there is much to do. See the Spanish and Mexican influences on the city as well as the true Texas charm.
With Tripps Travel Network's help, visitors can see the best of San Antonio. A few favorites are the Alamo, River Walk, and for families SeaWorld and Six Flags.
The Alamo is on the east side of the city and is without a doubt the most famous building in Texas. During the Texan war of independence, the 187 defenders who entrenched themselves in the Alamo were killed by the Mexican Army. The former mission is open to visitors and sees more than 2.5 million people come through each year.
Tripps Travel Network highly recommends a visit (or two!) to the River Walk. This popular stretch along the San Antonio River is a favorite for visitors and locals. The stretch of pedestrian friendly walkways have easy access to lots of restaurants, shops, and hotels. There are also boat tours to see the area from a different angle.
San Fernando Cathedral is one of the oldest cathedrals in the US and is famous because the heroes of the Alamo are buried here. The outer walls are original construction, built in 1750 by settlers from the Canary Islands and form the sanctuary for the cathedral.
A favorite among families is the San Antonio Botanical Garden. When it opened in 1980, it began featuring a variety of quiet areas and uniquely designed gardens. There is a garden for the blind, one for children, a rose garden, and a butterfly garden.
Join Tripps Travel Network and enjoy a trip to historic and fun San Antonio, Texas.

Defect notices are issued under section 145 of the Road Traffic Act 1961(SA). A member of the Police or an inspector may examine a vehicle which they suspect on reasonable grounds to have deficiencies. The owner of the vehicle may be required to produce the vehicle for an examination at a specified place and time.
Vehicles of a prescribed class
If the vehicle is of a prescribed class (which under regulation 45 of the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous) Regulations 2014 (SA) includes: prime movers; commercial motor vehicles; and trailers) the Police or an inspector can examine the vehicle whether or not there is reason to suspect deficiencies.
What is a defective vehicle?
A vehicle is considered defective if it:
- does not comply with the vehicle's standards, the Road Traffic (Light Vehicle Standards) Rules 2013 (SA);
- has not been maintained in a condition that it can be driven or towed safely, if it would endanger the person driving/towing the vehicle, anyone else in or on the vehicle, or a vehicle attached to it or other road users.
- does not have an emission control system fitted, or has an emission control system that has not been maintained.
Petrol power assisted bikes
Petrol power assisted bikes cannot be lawfully driven on South Australian roads. This means that a defect notice can be issued for such bikes. In addition, as they cannot be registered or insured, charges of driving unregistered and driving uninsured are likely to follow (see Unregistered and uninsured vehicles).
Written warnings
If on examination the vehicle is found to have deficiencies, but to the extent that further use on roads would not cause safety risk, then a formal written warning may be given. If the driver of the vehicle is not the registered owner, they must provide the warning to the registered owner of the vehicle [Road Traffic Act 1961 (SA) s 145(4b)].
Major and minor defect notices
If further road use would cause imminent and serious safety risks then a major defect notice is given; in any other case a minor defect notice is given. In either case the notice is to be given to the driver, the defect label is to be affixed to the vehicle, and a copy of the notice is sent to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles.

In today's era of trendy compotes and 10-ingredient jellies, Coldwater Canyon Provisions takes a refreshingly old-school approach to their preserves and pickles that hint at simpler jam and jelly times. Flavors include watermelon jelly, raspberry and strawberry-rhubarb jam, and pickled okra, beets and dilled green tomatoes.
All the more endearing: Co-owners Rondo Mieczkowski and Danny Barillaro seem truly tickled by their 2010 California State Fair blue ribbon for that strawberry-rhubarb jam (it's usually front and center at events like the Renegade Craft Fair, where we caught up with them recently). They also donate a portion of their sales to Under the Bridges and On the Streets (@Lunch4Homeless), a nonprofit that provides food, clothing, and services for L.A.'s homeless.
Get more on their jams, and suggestions for using up those last spoonfuls (Cocktails! Salad dressing!), after the jump.
"Grandmom would pickle whatever was on hand. You couldn't just go to Ralph's and get strawberries," says Mieczkowski, the main recipe developer. He reworked many of his grandmother's recipes for the evolving Coldwater Canyon line, including her pickled watermelon rinds.
"Well, some are not my grandmom's recipes," he continues. "She never saw habanero jelly like that," he laughs. Mieczkowski's version, as he describes it, is "super hot."
Mieczkowski adds a little extra heat to his pepper jelly, maybe a pinch of cinnamon and cloves to those spiced crab apples. But for the most part, he's more of a produce purist when it comes to jam and pickles. "I understand why people want to play with [flavors] today, make all kinds of experimental things," he says. "But this is California produce -- farmers market blueberries, Blenheim apricots. I mean, they're really pretty great on their own."
In that same "good old days" vein, grandmothers have also long been adept at using whatever leftovers were on hand and turning that lonely last inch or two of jam, jelly or marmalade into something fantastic. "Of course thumbprint cookies," says Mieczkowski, who also had these great jam tips:
-- Use jelly to rim cocktail glasses then dip the glass in sugar or salt, depending on your cocktail frame of mind (Mieczkowski uses his watermelon jelly to make watermelon daiquiris).
-- Microwave jam for a few seconds, then pour it over ice cream. Or stir a little raspberry or other chocolate-friendly jam into hot fudge sauce.
-- Baste a few teaspoons of fig or nectarine jam on chicken the last few minutes of cooking. "Don't put it on by itself too soon, or the sugar in the jam can burn," he advises. Pork chops are particularly good with a hot jelly like that habanero or a jalapeño jelly.
Our favorite tip for leftover jam? Use it to sweeten a salad dressing as you might do with honey. "I make this when I have about a quarter inch of lemon marmalade in the bottom of the jar," says Mieczkowski. It's not exactly a traditional recipe, more a general guideline to use with whatever jams and complimentary vinegar/oil you have on hand. With a little hip hop dinner entertainment bonus on the side.
Citrus Marmalade Salad Dressing
From: Rondo Mieczkowski of Coldwater Canyon Provisions.
Note: "Any good jam will work in vinaigrette," says Mieczkowski, who recommends blueberry, apricot or fig jams with balsamic vinegar. "You can add freshly minced or dried herbs to the dressing, or put herbs directly into the salads."
When you have about 1 inch (a few teaspoons) of lemon or orange marmalade left in a small (8 ounce) jar, add a tablespoon or two of rice wine vinegar, a dash of sesame oil for nuttiness, a couple of glugs of good olive oil, a nice pinch of Kosher salt and some freshly ground black pepper. You should have about half the jar full, so 4 ounces total. If the jam was cold, warm the mixture in the microwave (remember: No metal lid) for 5 seconds or so. And then as OutKast sang in, "Hey Ya," seal the jar and shake it like a Polaroid picture.

Penannular Plaid Brooches
The "penannular" (in the form of a ring but with a small part of the circumference missing) brooch became popular in the Celtic world at least as far back as 600 AD. Made from bronze, iron, silver, and gold, penannular brooches remained popular all the way through the Viking era. A traditional fastening for Great Kilt, Ancient Kilts, Fly Plaids and Earasaids.

by Erica Varlese
Next to a GNC, a Duane Reade, and a busy New York hotel, a colorful wonderland inhales and exhales in a storefront window Mid-town. The "wonderland" is Anne Ferrer's latest installation, Billowing Beauty, on view at The LAB, a midtown art gallery that specializes in "outrospectives." The Paris-based artist works in fabric and air, so to speak. Using brightly colored textiles, she crafts oddly shaped creatures or objects that are then inflated by fans, creating a living choreography in her sculpture-esque work.
Ferrer was born in the Catalan region of France, studied in the United States, and lives and works in Paris. She says her work is that of a frustrated painter and frustrated sculptor—one who wants painting and sculpture to collide. To alleviate her aesthetic conundrum, she uses bright colors and movement in her three-dimensional installations. Billowing Beauty consists of five different modules, each of which is striped in either pink, white, yellow, green, or orange. The swirled effect of the fabric is reminiscent of candy canes and exudes a Willy-Wonka-meets-Alice-in-Wonderland type feel.
The movement of each module is independent of all the others, making it appear like the objects are conversing with, and interacting with one another in their self-sustained world. There is no room for human activity in this enclosed space. The contrast from the inner world of the gallery to the street life outside makes the exhibit appear even more magical. It is nearly impossible to not have the triad of the gallery, the viewer, and the city interact with one another in a way that makes each viewing experience entirely unique. The time of day, the sounds of traffic, and the serendipitous passing of strangers on the sidewalk are all variables in the viewing experience.
Los Angeles-based composer, Carol Worthey wrote music specifically for this piece, adding to this live ballet. Unfortunately, the custom tune is mostly drowned out by the sounds of the street. The music, however, is a buoyant and childlike song that incorporates a mixture of classical and jazz styles. The soundtrack perfectly matches the whimsical and saccharine image of the modules as they billow up and down, living and breathing like actors in a film, or dancers on a stage.
In the case of Billowing Beauty, the content and medium of the work is just as significant as the location. The LAB, located on the corner of 47th Street and Lexington Avenue, is a storefront turned art gallery. Visitors do not enter the gallery, but merely observe the work from outside, fully capitalizing on nearby foot traffic. With this show, The LAB presents a somewhat Dadaist concept of disrupting the habits of daily life by inserting beautiful, and free, artwork in what is typically viewed as a capitalist space. The compilation of a busy, metropolitan street and ground-floor businesses surrounding the gallery make it stand out as a sanctuary of pure aesthetics. You do not need to give, but only receive, to enjoy the beauty of such spontaneous artwork.
The concept of Billowing Beauty would be just as interesting if visitors were able to walk through Ferrer's handcrafted landscape. Regardless of the various potentials of this sculpture garden that fits into a suitcase, the combination of installation, soundscapes, location, and outrospectives signify a fascinating and radical future of art. Such an exhibit, one that is both free to the public and a whimsical disruption of commercial activity, is a crucial breath of fresh air to the often profit-driven art field. It is more than just a billowing beauty, confined to the limits of The LAB, but a billowing Beauty that expands beyond the whimsical world of Ferrer and into the imaginations of all who view it. Just as Paris is a moveable feast, Billowing Beauty is a reminder of the whimsy of childhood, portable in a suitcase.

For the last few months I've been working with on a game called PokerSnake. The project originally started years ago as a javascript prototype based on an idea from a friend.
First step of the actual game was an OS X map editor. The editor can design the actual map using tiles and define a goal for map (Find 4 aces, Get a straight flush, etc). The basic game engine was then implemented in C with an Mac platform layer to allow launching the game directly from the editor. This allowed for fast and easy testing of both the game and maps.
After getting the game core working the game was polished up a bit. The cards that form the body of the snake merge together to form a unified shape and blocks merge to give a better overall impression.
The game is rendered in an integer scale factor (2x, 3x, etc) using nearest-neighbour and scaled down with anti-aliasing to keep the game looking pixel-perfect at any resolution.
Then the game engine was then moved to an iOS project. Since the game is primarily C and OpenGL getting it running on the phone was easy. But especially implementing controls was tricky on the iPhone. Touch is not quite as straight-forward as arrow keys. This involved adjusting the speed of gameplay and some of the levels.
Biggest part of the iOS version was the user interface. Around 170 images, three layer menu system, dialog boxes with poker card support, animations, etc.
A classic snake mode has also been added in the iPhone version with special visual and gameplay effects.
When the entire menu system and game worked then it was polished again with some CRT effects before it was submitted to review in the App Store.
Read more about the game at the website or get it on the app store.

My 15 Random Camping Tips
I think most of my readers know that we love to go camping as a family. If you're going to take kids camping, it is important for everyone' sanity to be organized! So, here's some of my top tips for family camping …
- 1 Random Camping Tip #1: Containerize!
- 2 Camping Tip #2: Vacuum Pack
- 3 Camping Tip #3: Make a list or two or lots!!
- 4 Camping Tip #4: Save on Space
- 5 Camping Tip #5: Make the most of free sample packs
- 6 Camping Tip #6: Pack child friendly
- 7 Camping Tip #7: Look out for bargain camping supplies
- 8 Camping Tip #8: Have a back-up meal
- 9 Camping Tip #9: Pack quiet stuff for the kids
- 10 Camping Tip #10: Pack some family games or cards for the adults.
- 11 Camping Tip #11: Make everything easily accessible
- 12 Camping Tip #12: Invest in cheap black bedding
- 13 Camping Tip #13: Pack car air fresheners trees
- 14 Camping Tip #14: Baby wipes
- 15 Camping Tip #15: Do not under any circumstance forget the coffee cups.
Random Camping Tip #1: Containerize!
It keeps sand, bugs and animals out.
I keep our cutlery and small utensils in a Tupperware Oyster box.
Camping Tip #2: Vacuum Pack
I seal all our meals using a Sunbeam food vacuum seal system. These are great for making sure no meat juices leak out and they food stay fresh for longer. Meats when vacuum sealed last a lot longer than they would in a glad bag. Before we had our Engels we had a tropical box to keep our food in so vacuum sealing food would mean it could easily float around in half melted ice and not be ruined.
Camping Tip #3: Make a list or two or lots!!
When camping I always make a list! Our needs are constantly changing due to the girls growing up so list making is a must. Molly is so used to this she started her own what to take camping list.
Camping Tip #4: Save on Space
I'm always looking at space saving ideas. I store our coffee and sugar in little decor containers I used to use for freezing baby food. I also buy the smallest size of spreads and condiments and refill when needed.
Salt and Pepper is stored in a Tupperware container that is a freebie at most demonstrations.
Camping Tip #5: Make the most of free sample packs
Sample sizes of products are fantastic for camping although I find them a lot harder to come by these days. I keep our dishwashing liquid in an old Dawn sample I got in the mail years ago.
I don't do washing if we are bush or beach camping but I like to keep a sample sachet handy in case of any accidents or sickness.
Camping Tip #6: Pack child friendly
At Christmas when we went camping I packed normal plastic plates for the kiss but never again! These IKEA plates are much better as the lip on the side prevents most accidental spills. No-one likes sand on their toast!
I'm still safety aware when we are camping with the kids so I take sharp knives that have covers. The yop one is an old Wiltshire stay sharp knife I've had for an extremely long time and the green one is a fairly recent Tupperware purchase.
Camping Tip #7: Look out for bargain camping supplies
Camping is a really cheap holiday option but can be expensive to set up if you buy everything straight away and brand new. It has taken us about 8 years to accumulate what we have. I look out for specials all the time and garage sales are fabulous. There are people who buy everything thinkning they will love camping only to find they hate it so lots of bargains can be found by people selling their stuff on gumtree too.
These are the sorts of bargains you can find on random camping supllies:
I bought these collapsible Tupperware bowls (go-flex) from a friend that had a kitchen clear oput and found she had too many.
I spotted this two pack of chopping boards on special at Woolworths.
Camping Tip #8: Have a back-up meal
Let's face it you are camping and in some camping places you can't exactly pop to the local take-away place if you accidentlyu burn or drop dinner!
Our back-up meal consists of two tins of canned spaghetti.
Camping Tip #9: Pack quiet stuff for the kids
Don't take a stack load of toys for kids but pack a few quiet activities to whip out when they are tired from all that outdoor adventure. Last time we went camping the only 'toys' I took for the kids were buckets and spades.
Camping Tip #10: Pack some family games or cards for the adults.
Night time can get too peaceful sometimes so play a game of cards together. Sometimes you eally can run out of things to talk about!
Camping Tip #11: Make everything easily accessible
I kept all the kids and my toilets in this old Avon hanging toiletry bag. I hang in the tent and if we are staying in a caravan park it's easy to carry to the toilet/shower block and hangs on the back of the shower door. Space to put your stuff is so limited in those shower cubicles and hanging it up high means there is less chance it gets wet.
Camping Tip #12: Invest in cheap black bedding
We used to take our bedding from home and it always got stained from dirty feet. I like that black sheets don't show the dirt but shows the beach sand so I know when the bed needs a good shake out.
Camping Tip #13: Pack car air fresheners trees
If you camping on a site with long drop toilets take a couple of trees or similiar with you. Just hang them up and they do a great job at masking the not so nice smell.
Camping Tip #14: Baby wipes
Do I need to explain? Fantastic for clean-ups (not just the kids), great for wiping down the table, stove etc. When you are camping with limited water you don't want to needing to rinse out a dish cloth all the time.
Camping Tip #15: Do not under any circumstance forget the coffee cups.
Well okay maybe it's just me that wouldn't cope with that! I love my non-spill Tupperware ones.
So I'm at the end but trust me I'm sure I have lots more random camping tips to share in the future.
Happy Camping People!

So, as I mentioned yesterday, the puppets have laryngitis this week, so I am doing all the talking – although there is quite a bit of pantomiming going on! After they basically tricked me into posting about the role of fairy tales in my current telling of stories, they moved on to getting me to write about soldiers and stories – and two days ago – I wrote a post about the soldiers in my family and how their spoken and unspoken stories influenced me. Yesterday, I wrote about M.'s time in the Turkish military vis-a-vis storytelling. You can read about that here.
Of course, there is a long history of soldiers and storytelling – take just about any ancient yarn and you will find some soldier returning from some epic battle or another. As I got to thinking about stories, and how I love to tell them (both real and imagined stories, oops Karagöz kicked me in the shins, pantomiming "I am NOT not real!"), I have also come around to thinking about the students I have had lately – and how their stories have impacted me. I teach in a program that primarily prepares students to do social work with people in the public sector – and with the advent and continuation of the Iraqi and Afghanistani theatres of war-occupation, veterans have been an increasing stream into our program…
As a professor in a social work program, when I meet and advise my students, their stories tumble out of them – happy ones, sad ones – all of the ones that lead them to choose to become social workers. In addition to being my most hard-working, motivated and respectful students – my students with military histories are usually right out there with their stories. I will tell you about the three that rise up most for me and whose faces and stories (mostly untold) haunt me a bit.
I will never forget meeting X., who had done 2 tours in Iraq as a mental health counselor with only half of his training done. Although clearly somewhat tormented by his experience and also somewhat reactionary to authority, he pursued his degree doggedly. Sitting with him through a study-tour of German social service systems, I learned a lot about his preparation – and lack thereof – to deal with the kinds of trauma he saw in the field. His joie-de-vivre seemed to be heightened after what he had seen – but the ghosts seemed right behind the door too. He didn't say much, but what he did say, well, it has stuck with me, in mental images. I know he will make a wonderful therapist – and has been with the Veteran's Administration since his graduation. X. put veterans on my map – and I started to weave veteran-related content into my courses.
And then there was D. He was a hoot and a holler. Still active in the reserve forces, he was often deployed during school vacations and worked hard to get things done way ahead of time. Perhaps the funniest student I have ever had, D. was very scared of my course (research methods) and was not afraid to admit it. Once he was kind enough to bestow upon me some sort of military-metaphored boss role, things were fine and filled with military talk "Yes, Ma'm," he would say and "I'm tracking, boss," when he was understanding a concept. We established a great relationship and his team did an amazing project together. D. also was not super forthcoming about his experiences in detail – but I could tell he had seen a lot after 2 deployments. He spoke mostly about the camaraderie of his fellow soldiers and how this got them through the days and nights…and how it still does. He used this imagery and these stories to motivate his research team in my class – to wonderful end. And he also reached out to the young reservists and veterans in our program…including M., who needed a lot of support. Let me tell you about M.
M. was a young woman of color who came into the program as my advisee. I could tell from her semester project proposal that she had been sexually assaulted while in the military. All of my students propose literature review projects on a certain topic – and you can always tell what is driving someone by the choices they make. It's a dead giveaway every time. Over time, we developed a closer advisee-advisor relationship – and while she never told me the details – and I never asked – the tears flowed freely about what had happened and also about the racism and ethnocentrism she experienced in the service. In the process of her training with us to become a therapist, she realized she needed to deal with the ghosts of what had happened to her…and slowed down to part time. After working in a shelter for women survivors of intimate partner violence, she began to hit her stride, seeing the way forward in her career. She is about to start her final internship as a therapist in a local Veteran's Administration clinic where they are desperate for female therapists. She often pops in to say hello, to check in – and it is wonderful to see her flourishing as she finds her way. I can see other student-veterans who do not look as sparkly as M. does now – and I worry about them. Thankfully, our University has started a major outreach campaign for this population of students.
These three students, and a range of others, have opened my eyes to stories untold, to being as sensitive as possible to respecting their service – even if I disagree with the conflicts they served in. In some ways, seeing these student-veterans and their mostly untold stories has reminded me of the importance of telling my own untold stories – in this case about the realities of cross-cultural relationships – beyond the hysterical misunderstandings, misguided efforts and scintillating stereotypes – just the everyday, to demystify and share in a way that I don't often see in the existing writing in this area. I never imagine that the soldier-students in my life would inspire me so, but they have inspired me to keep going in my own little realm that maybe, just maybe, might make a difference for another Turkish-American couple – or at least some interesting reading for someone out there in the blogosphere.
As I look up from the laptop, all of the puppets are lined up in a row on the table, saluting my students….

Delaware Apple store sells more iPhones than any other in the USApple's Christiana Mall outlet is said to be second only to the company's flagship Fifth Avenue store when it comes to sales volume, despite being located in one of America's least populated states.
Apple's Christiana Mall store in Delaware
Employees at the Newark, Del., Apple store told ABC News that the shop —located in a 39-year-old, single-story mall —sells "more iPhones than anyone." Apple does not break out sales numbers per store, and an Apple spokesperson declined to provide the news channel with any additional information.
Hinting at a competitive streak within Apple's retail empire, employees noted that while the company's Fifth Avenue flagship—which they called "the glass box on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue" —outpaces the mall store in revenue, it falls behind the smaller outlet in iPhone sales.
The Christiana Mall store, Apple's only first-party retail store in Delaware, benefits from a unique geographic positioning. Delaware charges no state sales tax, and the mall is a relatively quick jaunt on Interstate 95 from neighboring tax-charging states like Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York.
The Christiana Mall store attracts out-of-state shoppers thanks to Delaware's nonexistent sales tax
New York's sales tax rate of 8.875 percent would raise the price of a base model iPad Air from $499 to $543, for instance. While the savings may not be substantial enough to warrant a single customer driving in their car, it does present a tantalizing opportunity for those making group voyages or for foreign buyers who want to resell Apple devices in countries where they command much higher prices.
While Apple generally limits the number of devices a single customer can purchase, one store staffer told ABC News that some customers have bought hundreds of iPhones at a time for resale. The manager of another store in the mall confirmed that shoppers often arrive at the store in chartered buses that he says feature New York registration.
The store is so popular that Apple reportedly eschews their usual practice of hiring private, Apple-uniformed security guards and instead contracts off-duty officers from the Delaware Highway Patrol. Anywhere from four to ten troopers work the store at a time, with their numbers growing during popular product launches or shopping occasions like Black Friday.
The Christiana Mall store was among Apple's first retail stores, opening its doors in 2004. It has since undergone two expansions and occupies approximately 10,000 square feet in its current incarnation, according to Delaware Business Daily.

Dental-Related Holiday Gifts
Since the holidays are here, you are probably on a tireless search for the perfect gift or stocking stuffer. We've got some great ideas for dental care-related gifts at several different price points, all of which are fun as well as functional!
Basic? Maybe. Important? Always. Creative? Potentially!
The perfect size for a stocking stuffer, a new toothbrush is a great gift, which pairs nicely with items that often share stocking space, like candy. Choose "soft" bristled brushes, because harder versions can damage enamel and even tear up gums. Ask your dentist or dental hygienist for recommendations based on your personal needs and habits. You should change your toothbrush at least once every three months, because old brushes can harbor bacteria. Also, worn bristles won't effectively clean. Get creative by paying attention to design (consult with our hygienists via text or email).
Electric Toothbrush
A great gift idea for the entire family, an electronic brush from companies such as Sonicare or Oral B, provide clinically-proven better cleaning than regular manual toothbrushes or simpler electric toothbrushes. This type of toothbrush vibrates very quickly — between 30,000 and 40,000 strokes per minute. This speed helps bristles dislodge particles from the teeth. This type of brush is also useful because it stimulates the gums, studies showed it helping in part of reverses gum disease. electric toothbrush, available in most drug stores and supermarkets.
Teeth Whitening
For the hard-to-shop-for on your list, such as teens or seniors, consider the gift of Ultradent extra boost teeth whitening (either as dentist gift certificates or prepaid Visa cards) which can offer a bright smile after one or more painless treatments. You might be surprised at how reasonable whitening treatments can be. Another great option is a gel-based tooth bleaching system, offered at Implant a Smile. Or, you can pick up over-the-counter whitening products such as bleaching kits, whitening strips and gels. While the results of this type of product is inferior to a professional system, it is an affordable stocking stuffer. If you would like to prepay for teeth whitening for someone on your gift list call or text our Glendora office (626) 963-7581 or call our office in Huntington Beach (714) 891-1155.
Sugar Free Gum
In lieu of sugar-laden snacks and sweats, opt for sugar free gum for kids' stockings. Chewing stimulates saliva, which is helpful for rinsing and neutralizing acids in the mouth. And the "simulated sweet" of sugar-free gum produces more saliva than normal, staving off dry mouth…which is a breeding ground for oral bacterial. Give kids (and adults who have a sweet tooth) a gift that will promote healthy teeth and gums.
Despite research that proves that flossing saves teeth and gum, many people fail to floss. While they leave the dentist's office with good intentions, it's easy to let life get in the way. Without proper flossing, bacteria between teeth can lead to tooth decay as well as gum disease. What's more, poor mouth hygiene has been linked to heart disease and other ailments. So, routine flossing is one of the best ways to remove hidden plaque and bacteria. Slip a few floss containers into holiday stockings to encourage better family health. Or consider alternatives designed to ease the process, such as individually wrapped Plackers or a Waterpik.
Some people brush properly, but rush the job. A tooth timer can provide a visual reminder (especially for kids) of the time necessary to achieve adequate brushing. Most people think that two minutes is sufficient to clean teeth. But the actual truth is that each mouth is unique. Brush your teeth for as long as it takes to get them clean. So that is usually at least two minutes. The next time you are having your teeth cleaned at Implant a Smile, ask your hygienist for recommendations relative for your dental regimen.
Gag Gifts
Besides practical gifts, you could go with a novelty approach. Consider the classic wind-up chattering teeth that you can set loose across the carpet, or put some "Billy Bob" fake teeth into your favorite uncle's stocking for a few laughs. Give someone a molar-design vase to display flowers, as well as reminding the recipient that it may be time for a regular dental checkup.
During the busy holiday season, don't forget to care for your own teeth. You may have insurance funds which will expire at the end of 2017. Call us today to find out (626) 963-7581. Also, if you have a toothache, seek treatment. Scheduling an appointment with your dentist today will spare you from having to spend the holidays in an ER. Also, be careful about sugar intake, and be sure you brush frequently after every candy cane or gumdrop you choose to enjoy.

In the past year, Tesla's stock price has surged more than 400%. The market cap is currently $20.17, $11 billion higher than Fiat's and half the size of General Motors.
Considering the fact that very few people own Teslas - only about 20,000 will be delivered this year - that valuation is hard to justify, even for Musk.
Musk recently told CNBC that the market was being very "generous" to Tesla.
"They're obviously giving us a lot of credit for future execution," Musk said. "So we will do our best to honor the faith the market has placed in us. I really feel the valuation we've gotten is more than we have any right to deserve honestly. I think we need to make sure we really knock the ball out of the park in the coming years."
When asked how it felt to see the stock price tick upwards, Musk replied: "I think the market goes through these periods of exuberance and depression...Our stock price is obviously far too high based on historical financials or even our current financials. So the value is very much based on what the future will be like."

How to walk
Tips for walking right
Maintain upright posture throughout - head up and body balanced.
Slightly increase your arm swing (hand crosses over mid-line of body).
Stride out briskly with relaxed hips.
Remember to breathe fully and deeply.
CAA accepts no responsibility for loss or injury for undertaking these exercises. CAA strongly recommends that you check with your local CAA member chiropractor or other health care provider before undertaking these exercises to make sure the exercises are appropriate for your specific needs. If you are experiencing recurring, sharp or shooting pain at any time, STOP and report to your chiropractor or other health care provider.
How to stay motivated!
1. Forward planning
It can be a challenge to break the habits that might currently be a barrier to you introducing regular walking into your lifestyle. By doing a little planning and starting with small goals, you'll find it easier to introduce a new, regular walking habit into your life.
Some examples of early goals might be:
Aim to use the stairs, not the elevator, at work for at least two weeks. You'd be surprised how much easier it will be to continue this habit after the first fortnight
Set aside two days a week to walk in your lunch break – and stick to it for a month
Replace inter-office emails and phone calls by walking to discuss work matters with colleagues.
Park at a distance or on another level when you are grocery shopping, and spend an extra 5 minutes walking around the shops each week.
2. Use a pedometer
A pedometer can make tracking your walking easy and fun. The Just Start Walking iphone and android app includes an easy-to-use digital pedometer – and it's free! Just install it on your phone and start walking. It's that simple!
3. Track 'every day' activity
Get used to using your pedometer during every day activities, such as walking around the office or doing the grocery shopping. Through this you'll start to get an understanding of how many steps you're currently taking, and then you can start to aim to increase your weekly walking by at least 10% or 15%.
4. Engage your friends
Tell your friends about your commitment to walk more and seek their support. If they can't walk with you, you can keep them updated through social media, like Facebook or Twitter, about your walking progress when using the Just Start Walking mobile app.
5. Be on the lookout for organised walking events
Don't do it alone! Your local Just Start Walking community is a great place to start if you want to find walking events that can help you reach your walking goals in the company of others.
6. Reward yourself!
Don't forget to do something for yourself each time you reach one of your milestones

'God speed' was apparently what Martin McGuinness said to the Queen when they met a short time ago. I wonder what she, and the Duke of Edinburgh, would have liked to say to him?
Of all the things that the Queen should be asked to do in her Jubilee year, perhaps the most cruel has been to expect her to shake the hand of the former IRA commander and now deputy first minister of Northern Ireland. Many people bereaved by the Troubles have made gestures of almost super-human forgiveness, but few can have been so pushed towards doing so.
And McGuinness is a particularly difficult case. Not only has he still, to this day, not expressed any fulsome regret or apology for what the IRA did to the people of Northern Ireland and the rest of the country for three decades, he has also covered over, and prevaricated about, his own involvement in deepening and prolonging the Troubles. For anybody interested in just one way in which he has done this I hope I can refer people to the chapter on McGuinness in my book Bloody Sunday: Truths, Lies and the Saville Inquiry.
Those like Mr McGuinness who were involved in drawing out the war in Northern Ireland until they got what they wanted — power for themselves — still appeal to the alleged political justice of their cause whilst simultaneously congratulating themselves on allegedly bringing about peace. It must not be forgotten, and cannot be said often enough, that were it not for the McGuinness types this very same settlement could have been reached four decades ago and thousands of families would not have been devastated unmendably.
So while all the talk is of the significance of this gesture, and most people are rightly filled with admiration for the Queen, perhaps it is worth remembering a fact which the Queen might well have been considering as she shook hands, but could hardly have said.
Murdered alongside Lord Mountbatten by the IRA bomb placed on his pleasure boat on 27th August 1979 was Paul Maxwell, a 15 year old schoolboy in his fourth year at Portora Royal School in Enniskillen. He was working on the boat to earn money as a summer job. Also killed was Lady Patricia Brabourne, the 82 year-old mother-in-law of Lord Mountbatten's daughter who died of wounds in hospital the day after the bombing. Also, of course, Lord Mountbatten's 14-year old grandson, Nicholas Knatchbull. If anybody doubts the life-long physical and emotional devastation such a callous and cruel action had, I would urge them to read the book by Nicholas's twin brother, Timothy Knatchbull: From a Clear Blue Sky: surviving the Mountbatten bomb.
The Republican News described what they called the 'execution' of these four human beings and the physical and mental scarring of many others, as 'a discriminate operation to bring to the attention of the English people the continuing occupation of our country.' The paper boasted, 'We will tear out their sentimental imperialist heart.'
'So, Mr McGuinness. Was it worth it?' That is the question I wish the Queen or Duke could have asked McGuinness. For the deputy first minister personally the answer would have been 'Yes.' For nearly everybody else, the answer is 'No.'
Had they been allowed to have their lives, Nicholas Knatchbull would now be 47 and Paul Maxwell 48.
