Oh and Times Square was the backdrop for a great punk movie of the same name where Tim Curry plays a DJ...
All that hype aside, Times Square earned it's name of "Crossroads of the Universe" on one fateful Friday in October of 2002. The legendary Toys R Us in Times Square brought together three of the most powerful names in the galaxy (we'll get to them in a moment) to officially kick off the 200X MOTU line, a line that had been hyped for quite a while by multiple toy publications, Cartoon Network and Mattel themselves.This was the second coming of He-Man and fans were going crazy! But not as crazy as the fans in Times Square this fateful day.
Without any further adieu, let's take a look at the hosts of the day:
No. You're not under a spell of Evil Lyn. This is not a rib from Bruce Prichard. This is not an April Fools Joke. THIS IS REALITY PEOPLE.
|THE LEGEND...and some random local DJ that isn't Tim Curry as Johnny Leguardia.
The angle of this mega event was to give fans a big first look at MOTU, meet the fantastic artists and sculptors behind the figures, The Four Horsemen, and get a show. And a show they were given.
Earth hero Mario Lopez was brought in to introduce our intergalatic hero and his boneheaded villain as well as discuss his love the legendary defender of Grayskull, which he apparently did over a very microphone set on the lowest setting. Sadly, no dance moves or headlocks by Bayside's number one stud. This was all a different Mario today. Fun loving, yet focused. No time for ripping up Raiders tickets and break dancing in a tutu when the galaxy was at stake.
Skeletor and He-Man came out to exchange words and finish what they started last time we saw them. Remember when they claimed their legendary sword fight in the live action movie was their final battle? Lies. They clearly saw the future and the future was now. Times Square provided the perfect backdrop for what could be the greatest battle since nWo vs Team WCW at the War Games in 1996. With AC Slater as the impartial referee and peacekeeper, it was time to determine who truly was The Master of the Universe. Were we doomed to worship a giant bodybuiler on a roided up Smurf body? Was our hero to defeat Skeletor once and for all? Emotions were running high this day, and the battle finally ensued.
After a while, Skeletor, rightfully so, surrendered. Clearly the power of inflatable swords while wearing sandals was a little too much for Keldor to tolerate. He-Man accepted Skeletor's white flag, most likely not wanting to hurt the young audience who were there to meet their hero. While admirable yet foolish, I can't help but to think Skeletor had something up his sleeve. But no. He knew what hills to die on. Skeletor probably took a look outside and realized if he had a plan, about 47 Yankees fans outside would beat him down and shove those sandals where the sun don't shine, all while eating calzones.
|Defeated Skeletor is sad.
A lot of fans who weren't in the loop at the time most likely don't remember this, since it wasn't broadcast from coast to coast or promoted heavily outside an ad on He-Man.org and a flyer in the store itself. But it's such a unique and silly footnote in the history of Masters of the Universe. I'm sure a lot of stores did different promotional events over the years, but none brought together the power of Eternia and Bayside.
Personally I didn't attend this event but a couple of my friends did and told me it was quite the absurd and wild afternoon that you had to experience in person to truly appreciate it. In fact, a week or so after the event my friend Ryan called me up, after discovering pictures being posted on a few sites and screams DO YOU SEE WHAT WE MISSED?!?!?!? Ryan will come up later, since he played a huge part in my love of this series at that time, but make no bones about it: Had we known in advanced, we would've been more than happy to drop dime on driving up from DC to Manhattan meeting He-Man, Mario Lopez and a sandal wearing Skeletor. Because who wouldn't?
Much thanks to DinoDrac for allowing me to use these photos!

In this podcast HAC answers some e-mails, Gretchen the Librarian reviews Pat Buchanan's latest book, Axis Sally dishes on revenge, and Harold rants and raves for a while.
Actually, there are only two major cabinet shops in my area that are doing good and hiring and I know both are owned by Jews. I researched their last names and sure enough, one is an Ashkenazi Jew and the other a Sephardic Jew. Most of the other shops have gone belly up or barely hanging on. This is all part of the big plan though. If you read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, then you will see that the Jews force all non-Jews out of business. That was what the great depression and the Federal Reserve and the 2008 bail outs was all about. Forcing the non-Jew banks out. Only Jew banks got bail out money! They have basically taken over the government, the banks and all major industry. Then they open the borders so they can hire non-whites at slave wages and force our race into poverty. There are a lot of Jews with money around SF and they take all their business to fellow Jews only! The first rule of war: Know thine enemy!
Saw a guy with username "NorthWestFront" playing Red Orchestra: Darkest Hour on the 29th ID's server last night. I feel there are recruits there, though agree with Harold that the vast majority of "T-Shirt Youths" simply will not Come Home without some kind of bare-bones economic plan, which is currently lacking (or rather the plan is "DIY but on my terms, which are vague").
While the TSY may hold no real assets in terms of cash or property, they generally do have valuable intangible assets in the form of relationships with family & community. This is often the underlying economic basis for their very existence.
People don't need much: food, shelter, clothing, a dream (an "Iron Dream", perhaps), but they do need these things.
While the Quartet hammers on the idea that we will win because it is the accountants who will surrender, not the generals, I wonder if the General has yet consulted his Accountant on the implementation of the current phase of the strategic plan (Phase One: Creation of Communities).
The current economic help given is zero, and the product of this strategy is whatever stream of migrants it is currently producing. Economic help greater than zero would produce a larger stream.
It is not just tangible assets, e.g. cash or guaranteed income, that are of use to migrants. Intangible assets, such as ideas, knowledge, or a plans that have the effect of reducing the work & time required to resettle, increase the likelihood of increasing/gaining an income within a reasonable period of time, suggestions to help drive down costs, so that newbie migrants will be more likely to be able to consume what they need at low costs, etc.
These are all valuable components of a migration plan, and the intangibles may be within your means, even if tangible economic help is not. "Just come" is indeed a plan, but it is an unrefined plan that lacks a basis in the economic reality of much of your audience.
Ex stylo libertas ("from the pen, freedom"),
Thanks for the excellent podcast and posts. I'm between jobs, I should get some money soon and I'll pay my dues to help support.
I'm getting my ducks in a row to move to the NW, but I don't want to waste anyones time until I'm further along.
I think HAC told us, but how far out are we supposed to begin the vetting process?
Yeah I know I posted it wrong. It seems that the Goat Dancing idiots go on forever. Yes, it was apparently only 12 minutes but those morons always turn things against the Movement, especially HAC. They can never say anything good about anyone except for Dr. Pierce. They also had to say that Mark Weber plagiarized when whatever he takes from sources he quotes. My point is they do mention him a lot and always denounce Harold as some kind of liar and hypocriet when it is they that are the liars. Have you seen the stupid postings that "Hadding" always puts up here? His buffoonery isn't exactly helping.

A lovely parcel of maternity goodies sent to me from
my good friend x
There are two parts to my blog post today:
(1) Buying and wearing second hand clothes
(2) Splashing out on, and re-selling, your own clothes
First of all, buying second hand clothes. DO IT! Don't be stuck up about it. Think of it as buying 'vintage' if you'd rather.... Us mamas are only pregnant for nine months at a time (and only in maternity gear for about four or five of those months!). If any of your friends offer you their old maternity clothes, accept them, or if you see something you like the look of on eBay, buy it. Chances are they will only have been worn a handful of times and will be in excellent condition.
Which brings us onto spending money on expensive maternity wear! If you have a wedding or party to go to and can't see the point in splashing out on a beautiful dress that will make you feel a million dollars, think again. First of all, there is NOTHING worse than feeling hideous, fat and frumpy at a do where all your friends and family are glammed to the max. I've been there and never again! But more importantly, you will be shocked at the re-sale value of maternity clothes - especially those from popular designers such as Seraphine and Isabella Oliver. You can very often make almost all of your money back on them should you decide to re-sell them in the future. I bought myself a beautiful IO wrap dress (similar to this one) when I was pregnant with Daisy, wore it twice and then sold it for 75% of its original value on eBay a year later, so I will never feel bad about treating myself to something beautiful ever again.
So go ahead and spend your cash on a hot mama outfit from your favourite store, safe in the knowledge that you can re-sell it one day if you want to, and make yourself feel better for being frivolous by grabbing yourself a bargain from a second hand clothes shop or eBay.
Happy shopping and happy eBaying! xoxox

Getting up to speed on ILE commands
Before you dive into ILE, you need to understand the many ILE-related objects. You also need to understand the many ILE-related commands and how they interrelate.
|Ron Turull
Before you dive into ILE as a programmer or start managing ILE objects as an administrator, you need to understand the many ILE-related objects. (We discussed these in the last two installments -- How to use ILE objects -- Part I and Part II). You also need to understand the many ILE-related commands and how they interrelate. This will help both your productivity as you learn ILE and your system's resources as you deploy ILE.
A quick reference to ILE commands
The following sections will summarize the new ILE-related commands. They are grouped into rough categories for clarity.
Module and program creation commands
CRTxxxMOD. These Create Module commands compile source members of the various ILE languages into ILE modules, intermediate non-executable objects that can be bound into ILE programs. The xxx is replaced with the appropriate language designator, such as RPG, CBL, C, or CL, to produce CRTRPGMOD, CRTCBLMOD, CRTCMOD, or CRTCLMOD.
CRTPGM. The Create Program command allows you to bind together one or more modules -- created with the CRTxxxMOD commands -- into a single executable program. The modules can be of different languages.
CRTBNDxxx. These Create Bound Program commands combine the function of the CRTxxxMOD and CRTPGM commands. They can be used to quickly compile a source member and automatically bind the resulting (temporary) module into an executable ILE (i.e., bound) program in one step.
These commands can also be used to create an ILE program that runs in the default activation group, which is not an option when you use the CRTPGM command. Like the CRTxxxMOD commands, you should replace the xxx in CRTBNDxxx with the appropriate language identifier. Note: You cannot list any other modules on the CRTBNDxxx commands to bind into the program (as you can on the CRTPGM command). You must use binding directories to reference other modules or service programs on the CRTBNDxxx commands.
CRTSRVPGM. The Create Service Program command is similar to the CRTPGM command except it creates a service program.
Binding directory commands
CRTBNDDIR. The Create Binding Directory command creates a "shell" to hold binding directory entries that you add later using the ADDBNDDIRE command. Binding directory entries are references to modules and service programs. Binding directories can be specified on the CRTPGM, CRTBNDxxx, and CRTSRVPGM commands. The binding directory entries are then used to locate unresolved procedures. Using binding directories can significantly reduce the amount of information required on the CRTPGM, CRTBNDxxx, and CRTSRVPGM commands, thus increasing productivity.
ADDBNDDIRE. The Add Binding Directory Entry command can be used to add module and service program names to a binding directory. Only the names are stored in the binding directory, not the actual module or service program. The stored names are then used as references to locate unresolved externals (i.e. procedures and variables) when the binding directory is specified on a CRTPGM, CRTBNDxxx or CRTSRVPGM command.
RMVBNDDIRE. The Remove Binding Directory Entry command is the opposite of the ADDBNDDIRE command; it removes a specific entry or group of entries from a binding directory.
DSPBNDDIR. The Display Binding Directory command is used to display the entries stored in a binding directory.
WRKBNDDIR. The Work with Binding Directories command allows you to interactively work with a list of binding directories.
WRKBNDDIRE. The Work with Binding Directory Entries command allows you to interactively work with the entries of a binding directory, adding and removing them with simple menu commands.
Module and program maintenance commands
CHGMOD, CHGPGM and CHGSRVPGM. These commands allow you to change certain attributes of modules, programs and service programs, respectively. Theey are similar to the "old" CHGPGM. For example, they can be used to optimize or remove observability from a module, program or service program.
DLTMOD, DLTPGM and DLTSRVPGM. These commands delete modules, programs and service programs, respectively.
DSPMOD, DSPPGM and DSPSRVPGM. These commands display information about a module, program or service program, respectively.
WRKMOD, WRKPGM and WRKSRVPGM. These commands allow you to interactively work with a list of modules, programs or service programs, respectively.
UPDPGM and UPDSRVPGM. These commands allow you to replace one or more modules in a program or service program with new modules without requiring you to recreate the entire program. The new modules must have the same name as the ones to be replaced.

The Quran is the complete book of guidance for every Muslim and it is especially relevant to get that guidance right from an early age. With that said, whether you are a man or woman, it is your right to ensure that you learn the Quran, but it is a more burdensome responsibility on parents to ensure that their child is taught in the Islamic way the Quran and abide by it without wavering.
For kids, learning Quran lessons at an early age gives them the upper hand to better understanding the intrigues of the Quran, and hence parents must ensure this opportunity doesnt pass them by.
This seemingly effortless task can be challenging for Muslims living in foreign countries like Australia, Canada, the UK, and the United States, not because we dont have Muslim communities or mosque because it is a tremendous inconvenience trying to balance work, family, and a new culture for yourself and the kids.
Parents should remember that a child is a trust from Allah SWT, and although parenting doesnt come with a manual or handouts, the Quran has sufficient information that will enable you to teach your child in the ways of Allah SWT and the prophet Muhammad SAW.
Why should kids take Quran Lesson at a young age?
What better time than when the mind is pure and innocent, free of worries and bothers. Furthermore, reciting the Quran for a child is a Sunnah and a way to establish a bond with Allah SWT via the Quran. Enrolling the child in Quran lesson also ensure that the child grows in the way of Allah, living and practicing the rules and traditions of the Quran too.
Where can my kids take Quran Lessons?
For many parents, it is stressful finding a suitable Quran school for their children while some resort to teaching them at home when they are less busy, other attached the kids to an Imam of their local mosque where the child learns all the Quran lessons suitable for his age.
As good as these options are parents are stricken by the dangers and risks of leaving the kids with a stranger for hours in the name of reading/learning Quran lessons. Taking the safety and comfort of our children to heart,Online Quran Classes has online Quran lessons crafted specifically for kids. The Quran classes are fun, colorful, and enable the child to remember what has been taught days after.
So if you are on the hunt for awesome online Quran lessons for your kids in Australia, the USA, the UK, and Canada, is one of the best for kids.
What Quran lessons should my kids take?
If your kids dont know any Arabic, the first choice is Arabic lessons that include the alphabets, consonants, vowels, and how to combine two or three alphabets to form a word.
If your child has a good understanding of the Arabic language, Masha Allah, he/she can join in other online Quran lessons like Tajweed, memorization, etc
Online Quran lessons with Tajweed
We cant over-stress the fact that reading the Quran without Tajweed is not the right way. As a child, teaching a child any Quran lesson without Tajweed is absolutely wrong. The Quran stresses the importance of Tajweed and atall our Quran lessons come with Tajweed to enable the child to master the rules of Tajweed.
Reading and understanding the Quran
While reading and understand the Quran are the main reason for enrolling our kids to,they will also learn other aspects of Islam to enable them to grow into a complete Muslim such as the pillars of faith, duas, and others.
Is there a right age to start Quran Lessons for kids?
Kids grow up so fast, and even though it would be nice to allow them to attain a particular age before bombarding their tiny brains with the lessons of the Quran, they can start as early as three.
Basic lessons like the Arabic numerals and alphabets, Islamic rhymes, how to perform the ablution, and even partake in prayers. So there is no fixed age to start introducing a child to the ways of the Quran.
However, if you are registering your child with an online Quran Lesson, it would be preferred to enroll them when they have a sense of right and wrong or how to act responsibly at the age of seven, but it all depends on the childs abilities and the timing of the parents
Reasons why you should learn the Quran
The Hadith of the Prophet states,
I am leaving among you the Quran and the Hadith if you follow these in letter and spirits; you will never be strayed,
This self-explanatory saying encompasses why Quran lessons are an essential part of building the right Muslim and why kids should learn the Quran.
Some reasons are
- You are fulfilling an obligation set by Allah the Prophets first instruction was to read. Even though he was grown, the angel insisted he read to emphasize the importance of Quran lessons in the life of a Muslim.
- It will bear you witness on the Day of Judgment the Quran will be a savior for you in the Hereafter. It will also be a companion for the Muslim to keep them company from the loneliness in the grave.
- Reciting the Quran is a ticket for Muslim to getting into Janatul Firdausi as your position is determined by how much of the Quran you can memorize on earth
- It gives you peace of mind and protects you from evil ways and plans shaitan.
- It will intercede for you on the Day of Judgment when you are short on good deeds that can help you into paradise.
Well, it is very easy, if you are a parent in the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia with a young child that needs Quran lessons, visitand register with any of our tutors.
Our online Quran lessons are simple, entertaining, and will let your child want to come online the next day for another exciting class.

Why Turnkey
The first question you may have is, why purchase a turnkey home? We will be the first to say that turnkey is not for everyone. Turnkey is not for individuals looking for the lowest cost of entry into owning real estate. There is a premium that comes with purchasing a turnkey property from us, not because of an inflated margin, but because turnkey buyers seek consistent cash flow that can only be obtained when buying a property that is rehabbed correctly and to a high level. When we acquire a property, our rehabs are very extensive so that we can offer homes that will minimize maintenance the first few years, thus maximizing cash flow.
Providing our investors a home where we cut corners, ignore deferred maintenance items, install cheap builder grade products, leave older roofs on homes or leave an HVAC system beyond its lifespan, just so we can offer a lower-priced home with higher ROI, is not in the investor's best interest. The result will be a happy investor at first, but eventually the maintenance will catch up, thus making it difficult to be profitable.
The answer then to "Why Turnkey?"
Turnkey is designed for those who want to own cash flow real estate, but do not have the time, expertise or desire to be a property acquirer, rehabber, market expert, financier or landlord that comes with a huge set of rolls. Turnkey is also designed for those living in markets where cash flow opportunities do not exist or are few and far between. We have the business model in place for those investors to own cash flow properties.
Once you decide that turnkey is for you, then a team and company philosophy is the next point to consider. We believe we have the right philosophy and team to help you meet your real estate goals.

The Real Madrid never traced back a League of nine points
The Real Madrid never traced back a League of nine points
Published:22/02/2016 - 10:57h
The FC Barcelona breathes relieved knowing that, in all his history and in spite of having carried out traced back epics, the Real Madrid never has been able to recover nine points of difference with the leader of the League BBVA. The only that did it, in fact, went the own Barça
Ticket - Gone in FC Barcelona vs Arsenal - Champions
Ticket - Gone in Arsenal vs FC Barcelona - Champions
Ticket - Gone in for all the parties of the FC Barcelona
It seems that the history favours to the FC Barcelona and that everything does to indicate that this League BBVA 2015-2016 already has aroma blaugrana. According to some statistics that publishes this Monday the daily "Ace", the Real Madrid never has been able to trace back a difference of nine points regarding the leader of the domestic competition. The whites, experts in the epic and the famous "spirit Juanito", never have achieved such gesta that, to fault of thirteen parties to finish, seems a mission of science fiction.
But neither the Madrid neither any another conjoint has been able to it do, except the own FC Barcelona. The Catalans traced back this difference in the season 1998-1999, with Louis go Gaal in the charge. Then, this yes, remained a total of 24 days to finalise the championship, no as now that remain eleven less. Besides, the feelings left by the ones of Zidane do not invite to that they can achieve the epic to win in thirteen parties of consecutive form.
Besides, the FC Barcelona would have to lose three meetings and empatar another so that the whites could heave the title of League. Since, it fits to remember that the Barcelona have nine points of advantage regarding the merengues and, besides, have practically won the golaveraje after the zero to four infringido in Santiago Bernabéu in the first turn.
It seems very difficult that the whites can recover this advantage in the party that will contest in the Camp Nou, although at all it is impossible. It is thus that, while the ones of Luis Enrique follow with his exceptional series of consecutive victories (eight in League) and of 32 meetings without knowing the defeat, the things will go very well by CanBarça .

Teri Kent runs Charlottesville's Better World Betty, a non-profit organization and online resource for locals looking to shrink their impact on the environment. Every month, Betty—Kent's '50s-housewife-meets-earth-goddess alter ego—answers the most burning eco-questions from our readers about energy use, water, waste and recycling, transportation and green buying.
Has Betty got any advice about takeout meals for public meetings?
What should I buy that is nourishing and helps a committee maintain energy for work, is not extravagantly priced, but is sustainably packaged? It's two events: one needs dinner, the other needs lunch. Both need snacks and drinks. Also plates, cups and napkins. I was thinking Whole Foods prepared foods would have it all in one place, convenient to the venue. Do you have a better tip on sourcing?
We have struggled with this both at Better World Betty and when I was at LEAP. The Better Business Challenge website is a handy local resource, and includes an example of a catering policy from VMDO Architects, one of our Challenge winners. In addition to placing emphasis on recycling and local sourcing, VMDO lists several Charlottesville food businesses known for their eco-friendly practices, including Revolutionary Soup and Mona Lisa Pasta (http://cvillebetterbiz.betterworldbetty.org/wp-content/up loads/2012/03/Policy-for-Ordering-Food.pdf).
This is what we learned first-hand from the Business Challenge:
Dinner: Harvest Moon Catering is the best, but it might not be in your price point. Whole Foods is a great idea. I think we used them once and kept the platter for future events.
Lunch: Baggby's. Sandwiches come in a brown paper bag, and pretty much everything is recyclable except for the chips bag.
What are some options for creating a green driveway with permeable pavement?
Permeable driveways are wonderful because they allow the water cycle to enact itself naturally by providing a means for precipitation to seep back into the groundwater table. Additionally, in accomplishing this, they decrease flash floods and runoff traffic through storm drains. To upgrade your driveway to a permeable driveway, you have a couple options:
Get it done by the professionals. There are many reliable local contractors who can do a great job and complete the work quickly with the proper tools and equipment. This will be a more expensive option, but also a more secure option. According to the folks at Allied Concrete, a 15′ x 6′ foot driveway would cost about $1,100.
Do it yourself. First, you'll need to pull up the old driveway. Once you've done that, you'll have to install a 6-8″ bed of sand or gravel where the permeable driveway once stood and level it (or a layer of gravel under a layer of sand). Finally, select your permeable surface: permeable pavers, open-concrete blocks or porous pavement.
For a project of the dimensions listed above, materials would cost around $500, plus your time and the special tools required to successfully install them. And remember that whichever method you choose, you will need to do some annual upkeep by sweeping or vacuuming your driveway to prevent debris accumulation that prevents seepage.
What should I do with my old jeans —they're too destroyed for Goodwill, so is there a way to recycle them?
With old denim, there are some neat recycling programs that allow worn-out jeans to be upcycled into insulation, much of which is donated to initiatives like Habitat for Humanity. Blue Jeans Go Green is a great and easy-to-use program, and you can mail your jeans to:

Ok, today really sucked! Good news: I made it back to Santiago savely, all in one piece – still alive and kicking. Bad news: the bike let me down on the final straight with the finish line in sight.What happened – this morning the bike wont start. The battery was totally dead – not just flat – it died. So I had to push the thing for a number of kilometres (packed with all the luggage and in full motorbike gear) down the road to the next petrol station in the hope of somebody being able to jump start the bike… BUT this is Chile… No spare battery, not jumper cords, no nothing… But then this white ute pulled up and the guy inside asked me if i need help – well, YEAH was my answer.It turned out that the dude was an undercover police officer. First we tried to tow the bike and jump start it. But no luck. Then he radioed the police mechanic, who arrived a few minutes later with a brand new Chilenian motorbike battery. Old one out, new one in. (thanks to the Chilenian tax payers by the way, since I got the new battery for free). But then the nexr problem was just around the corner. The day before I experienced significant power loss,which just got worse. Diagnosis – blocked fuel filter. Since it is a BMW, there is no such thing like an easy fix – the fuel filter is combined with a pressure regulartor that keeps the fuel flow at 3.5 bar. Since today is sunday and everthing is closed and there is no BWM dealer in La Serena and it is still 500km to Santiago, well, what would you do? I opted for limping the bike back to Santiago. That turned out to be a very very bad idea. After just a few kilometres on the motorway things turned from bad to worse and the bike was buckling like a donkey with indigestions. After some mild panic attacts (mind you the bike HAS TO BE AT THE PORT TOMORROW) I turned around and limped back to La Serena and stopped at the first gas station. With my dictionary in one hand I walked in and tried to string some words together to explain my hopeless situation. But the guy behind the counter – Felipe – just smiled and said that I can also talk English. This guy was just amazing. He helped me to organise a rental pick-up from the airport and I even scored a ride in '68 Camaro. Felipe is a real petrol head, who also own a `68 Mustang and a couple of motorbikes. Heaven sent. Once the bike was strapped to the truck I drove all the way to Santiago, arrived here after sunset, found the Hotel, checked in, had a shower and now a few beers. Life is better now… Tomorrow I have to clean the bike, drow it off at the port and off she goes to Australia. My prefered option would have been to sell her, but I thing she gave me a clear one finger signal that she wants to come with me and getting fixed. Yeah, she can be a little bit moody at times… GIRLS!!!! Given that everything will work out smootly tomorrw I will board the plane back home on Thursday. God, what a trip…

Road Block Peru
Again, some of Erica's picture from us going through the road blocks when leaving Cusco. Erica had the camera somehow attached to her jacked and was always ready for some awesome snapshots of us bolting through the crowds or chopping up trees just to keep on going… From memory we only made 50kms in one day…
Leaving Cusco
my day was like that: packing the bike, leaving cusco in crazy latin american traffic that comes close to survival training, being molested by campesinos (rural dwellers) that were blocking main roads because they are worried that the government is privatising water, dodging road blocks, burning tyres, machete waving old men… then climbing from 2000m to 4000m, ending up in a cloud with 10m visibility and rain, getting wet and cold, now being in run down hotel that looks like it has been teleported from one of these east-block countries – totally soviet style… a military hospital would have more charm!Traveling is so much fun! So glad that I am still rolling together with the 3 Americans. Hopefully we will make it to the Pacific tomorrow. These guys will then head north back to the States and I will turn south, back to Santiago, Chile.
More of Bolivia
Here some pictures from Bolivia, including a meteor crater, the road of death, la paz and isla del sol at the lake titicaca.Enjoy
Salar de Uyuni
First shot is from the shower head at the hostel – there were seriously the wires sticking out that were heating up the water in the head. Wonder how many travelers have been electrocuted here so far…Then the train graveyard which is just at the edge of the salt lake and then me taking Dakki over the salt. We both had a lot of fun. In the middle there was this crazy island… cactus galore… Will never forget that day!!!
Inca ruins and heading north
Here some shots from the Inca ruins of Quilmes. Interesting and nice lamas – very fluffy.The other shots I took in northern Argentina heading up to the Altiplano.
Beer at the Routa 40
Here some photos of me bottling (and testing) the latest batch of Weizen of Bernard's Routa 40 micro-brewery in Santa Maria.They were super nice and I ended up staying over night. Germans are everywhere! Definitely a highlight of my trip.

Best Weight Loss Strategies That Actually Work
For most people, losing weight is much harder than it should be. There is an endless supply of self-proclaimed weight loss experts who preach bogus approaches how to lose weight, motivated by nothing except for their desire to make easy money by exploiting people who want to make a positive change in their lives.
To complicate things even further, the weight loss strategies that actually work are often so simple that they may seem ineffective. Such approaches can be explained in a few paragraphs, and they have a lot more to do with common sense than cutting-edge science or new age gibberish. In this article, we recommend you weight loss strategies that actually work to help you, once and for all, get the body you want. We firmly believe that weight loss is just as much about health as it is about appearance and feeling confident and comfortable in one's own body. As such, we avoid mentioning weight loss strategies that are fundamentally unhealthy, such as those that rely on weight loss pills or surgical procedures.
Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
Every day, we are bombarded by images of fit people and celebrity success stories, and we often can't help but compare ourselves to others. The first step toward your weight loss success happens when you realize everyone's weight loss journey is different. Below are a few examples of a few recent celebrity weight loss success stories to illustrate what we're talking about.
- Adele Weight Loss
Adele is rumored to have lost around 30 pounds of weight since she first hit the music scene in 2008. According to Daily Mail, Adele lost weight by eating plant-based foods like kale, buckwheat, green tea, and turmeric. "What I do love about this diet is the emphasis on plant-based foods that are chock-full of phytonutrients, antioxidant-compounds that we should all be eating more of in order to reduce the risk of chronic disease and boost immune function", said Adele.
- Mama June Weight Loss
Mama June's weight loss journey is one of the most amazing and inspirational celebrity weight loss success stories of recent years. The popular TV personality lost 300 pounds, transforming to size 4 and reclaiming her health in the process. To get where she is today, Mama June has undergone several surgeries, including a gastric sleeve surgery, breast augmentation, and skin removal surgery. Of course, the surgeries alone wouldn't be enough, and it's guaranteed that her diet today doesn't look anything like it did when her weight was at 460 pounds.
- Melissa McCarthy Weight Loss
Melissa McCarthy lost 70 pounds of weight in preparation for the new Ghostbusters movie. Her secret? A natural supplement called Garcinia Cambogia. This tropical fruit that looks like a small pumpkin and is green to pale yellow in color is also known as the Malabar tamarind. Garcinia Cambogia is a popular weight loss supplement even though there is clinical evidence indicating it has no significant effect on weight loss. If that's really the case, how come Melissa McCarthy lost so much weight using Garcinia Cambogia? Perhaps because she also followed a rigorous exercise program, loaded up on lean protein, got plenty of fiber from fruits, vegetables, and grains, and improved her sleep hygiene.
- Rebel Wilson Weight Loss
Many know Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy from the movie Pitch Perfect. But Fat Amy lives no more because Rebel Wilson has shed nearly 40 pounds of weight. "For me, it's just about being comfortable in your own skin. You never want to be like too unhealthy because that's bad. But you just want to be comfortable with who you are, whatever your size", the actress shared her reasons for weight loss. She credits her weight loss accomplishments to better food choices, working out most days of the week, and finding more time to relax and recharge.
- Susan Boyle Weight Loss
When Susan Boyle was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, she decided that enough is enough. Since then, she has lost around 30 pounds of weight by cutting out sweeties and cakes from her diet. Sounds too simple to be true? In the next chapter of this article, we explain why it isn't.
- Chris Pratt Weight Loss
Chris Pratt swapped his dadbod for swollenness by dropping 80 pounds of weight in 6 months by following a low-carb diet. "My bones ached, I had cardiovascular issues [when I was fat]", Chris told GQ. "I was unhealthy. I was feeling rotten. I didn't feel too great about who I was". Chris Pratt isn't the only celebrity who credits their weight loss accomplishments to a low-carb diet. Scientists and dieticians alike have been preaching the numerous benefits of restricting carbohydrate consumption in the recent years, and there are now even studies that confirm that low-carb diets cause weight loss and improve health.
How to Lose Weight Fast and Safe
If you want to lose weight fast and safe (and who doesn't?), you need to set realistic expectations. To lose one pound of body fat, you need to burn approximately 3,500 calories, or 500 calories every day for a week. Since most weight loss experts advise against a caloric deficit greater than 500 calories, aiming for a weight loss of one pound per week is the best long-term goal you can have.
To achieve the desired caloric deficit, you can eat less, exercise more, or do both at the same time, which is what we recommend. If you're just starting on your weight loss journey, there's no need to worry about counting calories or following a specific exercise program to a tee. Right now, you just need to get rid of your bad habits and establish new, healthy ones. Your biggest goal is to remove all junk food from your diet. That includes fast food, snacks and desserts, carbonated beverages, burgers, ice creams, pizzas, cakes, sugary cereals, and so on. Replace junk food with non-processed food items such as fruits, vegetables, lean meat, grains, seafood, unsweetened dairy products, and others.
This alone is enough to produce great weight loss results. But you can take things a step further by exercising several times per week. Depending on the level of your current physical fitness, you can start by going for a walk and gradually ramp things up until you feel ready to hit the gym and do some strength training, which is essential for building muscle and boosting metabolism.
These days, there are many wonderful software tools that can help you on your weight loss journey. There are weight loss calculators that allow you to calculate the number of calories you should eat in a day to reach a specific target weight by a certain date, and there are also large weight loss communities, such as Weight Watchers online that can provide the much-needed motivation when things get tough. Besides motivation, Weight Watchers is also a wonderful source of recipes, and we definitely recommend you visit the Weight Watchers' Recipes section. As you progress toward your ultimate weight loss goal, you should take progress pictures so that you can see how far you still need to go. Progress pictures are also fantastic for motivation because there's nothing like seeing with your own eyes how much you've progressed in a span of just a few months.
Weight Loss Mistakes to Avoid
Weight loss requires a lot of patience and perseverance. Don't think of weight loss as a race to the finish. Instead, see it as a lifestyle or as a collection of habits that you should strengthen every day. So many people try to rush things early on only to burn out and fail. It's understandable that you may be anxious to have the body you've been dreaming about, but you need to remember those who maintain a steady pace reach the finish line. For many people, it's not the calories they eat that prevent them from losing weight, but the calories they drink.
According to one study, Americans get as much as 20 percent of their calories from beverages, which is exactly by how much most people should reduce their caloric intake to lose weight. If you don't like the taste of water, there are many other options to choose from that don't contain any calories whatsoever. Finally, regardless of which weight loss approach you decide to use, stick with it and don't be tempted to try something else if you don't immediately see results. Weight loss is in large part about healthy habits, and it takes a lot of time and repetition to establish them. Don't jeopardize your efforts by doing something different every few weeks. Provided that you understand and adhere to the basic principles of weight loss, all you need to do is keep doing what you're already doing.

Dawn Butler's cake – the head of Lord Eddard Stark on a spike, like the one we saw in Game of Thrones, has won gold in the carved cake category at the International Craft and Hobby Fair in Birmingham. The Nottinghamshire baker spent 3 weeks to make this masterpiece, which has about 6 layers of cake coated in chocolate paste & ganache and vermicelli for hair.
"I wanted the hair to look like it's growing. It's actually vermicelli – a rice noodle which I steamed so it bends the way I want it to. Then I airbrushed it to make it look like hair," she told BBC. "The cake is about five or six layers with the features modelled with chocolate and then covered in chocolate paste as well."
Despite the cake being perfectly edible, Ms. Butler didn't recommend eating it.
"I don't think I could bring myself to eat it, not because of the hard work that I've put into it. I do like people to eat my cakes – it's just the vermicelli has now gone hard again and I imagine that it's quite crunchy."
Dawn also runs a cake decorating company called Dinkydoodle Designs (dinkydoodle.co.uk) in Nottingham, England.

Beanland was a roots rock jam band, based in Oxford, Mississippi, which performed and recorded primarily from 1986 to 1993.
Beanland was founded in Oxford in 1985 by guitarists Bill McCrory and George McConnell, with Adam Stoll on drums and harmonica. After some early shuffling, the band's line-up consisted of McConnell and McCrory on guitar, John "JoJo" Hermann on keyboards, Ron Lewis on bass, and Harry Peel on drums. The band recorded a self-titled debut album in 1991 and toured extensively, mainly around the South and Southwest, playing blues-oriented rock as part of the nascent early-1990s jamband renaissance.
Shortly after the album's release, keyboardist John "JoJo" Hermann left Beanland to join Widespread Panic. McConnell kept Beanland alive briefly as a four-piece with a much-altered line-up, and recorded a follow-up album in 1992, but the band dissolved soon after.
George McConnell later joined JoJo Hermann in Widespread Panic, serving as that band's lead guitarist from 2002-2006.
The Beanland songs "Sellin' The Rain" and "Doreatha" from the debut album garnered some airplay on college radio stations throughout the Southeastern United States. The band has a moderate cult following.
Beanland has played several reunion shows, most recently in 2004 at the Double Decker Arts Festival in Oxford.
2004 also saw the release of "Beanland: Rising From the Riverbed",[1] a film by Oxford based Cloudscapes Productions. The film tells the story of Beanland through classic footage and interviews with band members and such musical luminaries as producer Jim Dickinson and Rev. Jeff Mosier.
Beanland took their name from a home where some of the members lived, 1313 Beanland Drive, Oxford, Mississippi. In fact, the original name of the band was 1313 Beanland, but the name was changed at the request or demand of their landlord.

Ok, I literally made an account to go "haha"Nah, if they were pushing the panic button they would lower prices.
Didn't they famously pull a lot of dirty shit in that era? Can't now, the EU will steal another 1.6Breally? 12 core at less power to match IPC and kick ass in productivity is not enough? While AMD brings you more core 15% IPC lift in 2 years, dont tell me you think that is nothing while intel sat on its ass. Zen 2 doesnt look like a candidate to you? Yea 4 more cores than competition for same price is nothing I guess. Atleast thank AMD for bringing some competition and giving intel a run

Tests and reviews of different batteries to help you find the Right One…
The 1.5V AAA Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline are supposed to offer premium energy for personal appliances and should be ideal for high and medium drain appliances according to Panasonic. They are almost the highest-end Alkaline batteries that the company offers, the only supposedly better option are the ones in the Evolta range. The Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline batteries we tested here were with an expiration date of 01-2018 meaning that they should be offering at least 5 years shelf life.
Starting our test as we usually do with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.1A we have managed to get 794 mAh as capacity from the 1.5V AAA Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline batteries, or a it disappointing result placing them more in the mid-range among the AAA size Alkaline batteries we have tested so far. At 0.2A and 0.3A constant current discharge rates the batteries still perform quite well, though at a level of 0.5A there is a more significant drop in the usable capacity you can get, meaning that these batteries are not going to be handling well in devices that have quite high power requirements and are using AAA-size batteries.
The performance of the 1.5V AAA Panasonic Pro Power Alkaline batteries in our tests:
– 794 mAh at 0.1A load
– 593 mAh at 0.2A load
– 492 mAh at 0.3A load
– 159 mAh at 0.5A load
– 0.964 Wh at 0.1A load
– 0.707 Wh at 0.2A load
– 0.568 Wh at 0.3A load
– 0.173 Wh at 0.5A load

Why Animals Eat Psychoactive Plants
Another interesting article. Read it! Here's an excerpt:
"I kept returning to the UN pledge to build a drug-free world. There was one fact, above all others, that I kept placing next to it in my mind. It is a fact that seems at first glance both obvious and instinctively wrong. Only 10 percent of drug users have a problem with their substance. Some 90 percent of people who use a drug—the overwhelming majority—are not harmed by it. This figure comes not from a pro-legalization group, but from the United Nations Office on Drug Control, the global coordinator of the drug war. Even William Bennett, the most aggressive drug czar in U.S. history, admits: "Non-addicted users still comprise the vast bulk of our drug-involved population."
This is hard to dispute, yet hard to absorb. If we think about people we know, it seems about right—only a small minority of my friends who drink become alcoholics, and only a small minority of the people I know who use drugs on a night out have become addicts."

How Psychedelics Are Finally Helping People Again (In A Clinical Setting)
Read this. It's long, but very encouraging: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/02/09/trip-treatment
Wow…great article that I recommend everybody takes the time to read. Great job by Michael Pollan at The New Yorker.
-The developmental psychologist Alison Gopnik has speculated that the way young children perceive the world has much in common with the psychedelic experience. As she puts it, "They're basically tripping all the time."-No comments
Quote From Genghis Khan…
Genghis Khan said: "If there is no means to prevent drunkenness, a man may become drunk thrice a month; if he oversteps this limit he makes himself guilty of a punishable offence. If he is drunk only twice a month, that is better — if only once, that is more praiseworthy. What could be better than that he should not drink at all? But where shall we find a man who never drinks? If, however, such a man is found, he deserves every respect".
I thought that was a share-worthy quote.No comments
Study: Congress literally doesn't care what you think
Have you ever felt like the government doesn't really care what you think?
Professors Martin Gilens (Princeton University) and Benjamin I. Page (Northwestern University) looked at more than 20 years worth of data to answer a simple question: Does the government represent the people?
Their study took data from nearly 2000 public opinion surveys and compared it to the policies that ended up becoming law. In other words, they compared what the public wanted to what the government actually did. What they found was extremely unsettling: The opinions of 90% of Americans has essentially no impact at all.
This video gives a quick rundown of their findings — it all boils down to one simple graph:

Mind Blowing… These 23 Unbelievable Facts Will DESTROY Your Understanding Of Time
Time has always perplexed the human race. We've tried to define it, track it, and measure it since the emergence of civilization. However, facts like these listed here show us how distorted our perception of time can be and how much we still need to learn about the fourth dimension.

The Great Pyramid was built cerca 2560 BC, while Cleopatra lived around 30 BC. The first Pizza Hut opened in 1958, which is about 500 years closer.

Drugs: Prescription Meds Flowing Freely
Interesting article posted over at Vice.com. Copy/pasted
Prescription drugs are easy to get a hold of, whether they come from a doctor or not. The other week I bought three Valium from my flatmate. I used one to catch up on sleep and gave the others to a friend who likes to mix them with alcohol. She practically fell asleep standing up. It was only then that I thought about how I probably shouldn't be buying prescription medication and doling it out. But because Valium is technically legal, and because I was four drinks down at a free bar when I gave them to her, it didn't really register at the time.
Drugs like these–the painkiller tramadol, psychoactive benzodiazepines like Xanax and Valium, or anti-epilepsy drug Lyrica–make you feel like you're floating on a cloud. In the UK, they come with lower penalties than illegal drugs if you're caught buying or selling them, no penalties for possession, and are generally cheaper. This is their appeal and also their danger.
In Britain last year, 220 registered deaths were attributed to tramadol–almost 2.5 times the number seen in 2009–while 342 deaths from drug poisoning reportedly involved benzodiazepines like Valium, a 20 percent increase from 2012 and the highest number since records began in 1993.

This text was found tucked inside a crevice on the surface of Mars by cosmonaut Sergei Leonov. Inscribed on a shard of ebony glass, it reads as follows:
Once I entered Eden and gazed upon the vast landscape of my newly discovered reality, my eyes were plucked from their sockets and cast into the Endless Shadow.
Wandering in blackness, I felt the stone walls of the High Tower belonging to a primeval warlock . I climbed those steps for eons until reaching His quarters, and He knew why I had come.
My vision, which I had gone so long without, would be restored. "However" He bellowed, "Though you may have eyes your blindness shall linger, a blindness so dark it casts shadows at midnight."
I grabbed a fistful of his robes and begged. I would have my vision back no matter the cost.
And as if it were a dream, I awoke under a black sky dotted with stars as bright as spotlights illuminating a barren desert filled with a sea of sand as white as bleached bone, as fine as skeleton dust. And I fixed my eyes on the blood-orange sun sinking into the horizon and produced from my satchel a horn.
Upon blowing that ivory horn, I felt a sinking regret. A regret deeply rooted like a poison seeping into the cracks of my flesh and rotting my soul, carving it out until there's nothing more than a fragile shell, remnants swept away by the breath of Elders speaking this tale.
I cast the horn into the sand, and like a sea of starved piranhas the undead sands devoured it. And I ran, my joints screaming against the forward motion that pulled me into the desert floor. Just as I took my last breath before being overtaken by the sand, a clawed hand pulled me up. I faced this creature who promised a strong, loyal fleet at my back if I led them to Eden where they could lay waste and claim their spoils. I remembered this place, and promised It everything.
We found Eden. As I perceived the brilliant sun, it flickered and burst throwing arms of flame across the sky, A Purple Moon now emerged from the embers casting a sheet of deep lavender upon the land. My fleet went forth and took Eden. The lush landscape withered and turned gangrenous. The animals that once freely roamed and ate at the thick fields of grass and bushes of plump berries now bore large teeth like swords and wore twisted horns that seemed to reach as high as some of the tallest trees. The aboriginals took up their wooden spears in vain as yellow, demon teeth sank into the stomachs of their pregnant wives, causing their bellies to burst sending bat-winged abominations to fly towards the onyx temple on that Purple Moon. I wept hot tar and the pain twisted my mouth into a smile. My hunger awoke in me like bear approaching spring and I joined these monsters in the cleansing of Eden.
Countless ages came and went. The End came only when that Purple Moon fell from the sky and all was cast into The After.
I walk on the spectral path between Eternity and the Towers of Time spectating my fleet of demons as they ravage the boundaries between the two hoping to breach them and seep back into the stream of existence. I can see past Eternity with eyes that burn with ancient flame and they meet the gaze of that Hooded Prophet who sits at the throne of every desolate place in every world and those beyond our perception, clenched in the fists of killers and threaded in thoughts of hate. His voice echoes endlessly through Eternity and resonates within the Towers of Time. Whatever has been, or will be, is subject to His screams.
I welcome any and all critiques. Thanks for reading!

If there's one thing that I have a little obsession with, it's bras. It's a running joke with my friends that I could wear a different bra every day of the month with how many I have. I haven't mentioned it on the blog before though, because I never really had a reason to. In the course of my online bra shopping though, I came across a great lingerie site called Adore Me. So when they asked me to come up with a few looks to go along with some of their sets for their Lashes & Lingerie challenge, of course I said yes!
I'm all about making yourself feel beautiful, and I believe a good bra and underwear set can do that, even if they're under your clothes.
Aren't these adorable? I really love bras that are a little more brightly colored, even though they may not be the most practical. i.e. Don't wear light colored shirts with these!
When I wear bright bras, for some reason I always love to wear bright colors elsewhere in my outfit as well, and I normally go for it in the accessories! This lipstick from YSL is my go-to when I want my makeup to pop, it's so creamy and stays on for hours! A classic striped dress with pearls is simple, and really makes the colors more intense. I like wearing patterns with my bright bras as they do a great job at hiding the color!
I'm obsessed with this unlined lace bra! It's something that I would definitely wear to the beach, a concert, or honestly just around my house (unlined bras are basically the most comfortable things on the planet fyi). With the blush lace, it's definitely one of those bras that I wouldn't mind peaking out through my dress.
Here's how I would style this beauty!
Here's how I would style this beauty!
Tom Ford Nude Lipstick | Dress | Sandals | Mascara | Perfume
The second I saw this bra I thought of the Miss Dior Cherie perfume and a flowy white dress. Miss Dior is such a sweet and girly scent and mixed with this soft look and minimal makeup, I think it makes the perfect combination for the blush lace bra.

What's more classic than a black and lace combo? I love the racerback on this bra, and think it would go really well with a whole slew of outfits, but what popped in my head first was red lipstick and an all black ensemble.
Jeans | Lipstick (in Dare You) | Jacket | Naked Palette | Ankle Boots
For this last look I wanted to go a bit darker, and thought of a classic going out with the girls night. Jeans, a v-neck, and a moto jacket are the perfect thing to compliment this sexier option. A good pair of jeans can really make or break an outfit, and these jeans are my absolute favorite! A red lip spices up the whole look, and is a no-brainer whenever I go out.
Although I've never physically tried on any of Adore Me's products I think their whole look book is spectacular and so pretty, very much like the bras I usually purchase. Be sure to check their website out for yourself, and let me know your favorites!

I just read a bit of news that was somewhat shocking-scary. It relates to the biggest drug recalls of this decade – and I found two commonly used drugs listed as recalled as recently as January 2012!
(To know more read: what is a drug recall)
Of the eleven drugs listed, tylenol, listerine, the h1n1vaccine, Bayer's baycol and children's cold medicine are frequently used. If you use any of the others, I'd recommend the following:
- Review your medicine cabinet periodically, say, once in three months to look at expiry dates and discard
- Make a list of everything in your first aid box with use-by dates so that you know what is available and usable
- Stick this list to the lid of the box or to the door of your medicine cabinet for your ready reference
- Keep your first aid box and medicine cabinet out of reach of young children
- If you have unused medicine from treatment, either return it to your pharmacy if possible or donate it, unless it is generic, and valid for years and you are likely to use it.
- Ensure you take your full course of medication. Stopping it midway will render the course useless, especially with antibiotics
- Thanks to the super-fast internet, you can now quickly find out if any of the drugs in your cabinet or medication prescribed by your doctor have been recalled. It is worth it to do the research
- When you visit your doctor, be sure to carry previous prescriptions and medical reports.

New York will be sending a message against gun violence from the top of the world Thursday night.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered that the World Trade Center's spire be lit orange in honor of Gun Violence Awareness Month and the victims of shootings.
Mayor Bill de Blasio also is marking the month by lighting City Hall Orange Thursday night. He will also hold a town hall in Brooklyn about the subject.
"By lighting City Hall orange, we reiterate our pledge to combat gun violence and promote common-sense legislation that will save lives throughout this city and this nation," he said.
Three years ago, the state passed several gun control laws including expanded background checks and a ban on assault rifles, and the governor said national action was long overdue.
"The failure of the federal government to act on gun violence is not only appalling, but dangerous," Cuomo said in a statement.

Sweden reports emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) annually to the UNFCCC and the EU Monitoring Mechanism. Emissions of F-gases amounted to about 2 per cent of national total emissions 2009 and show an increasing trend since 1990. National and international regulations have entered into force in order to reduce emissions of F-gases. The national system for estimating emission of F-gases is based on national statistics from the Swedish Chemicals Agency and additional information sources. Due to the projected reduction of emissions in the near future, there has been an increasing focus on the reliability of the monitoring of such changes over time, especially for certain sub-categories such as F-gases from mobile air-conditioning equipment.
The aim of this study has been to improve the quality of the collection and emission estimation system in Sweden for F-gases reported to the UNFCCC and the EU Monitoring Mechanism and especially in order to enable better annual follow-up of changes in chemicals flows and emissions of F-gases e.g. due to increased amounts of HFC recovered and the enforced national and international legislations.
The national statistics available and the most important additional information sources and emission factors have been reviewed in this study. The results of this study show that the national statistics from the Swedish Chemicals Agency and the additional information sources continues to be a good foundation for the Swedish emission inventory reporting.
In this study no major adjustments are recommended for the collection and emission estimation system, but there are some suggestions on modifications of emission factors and model macros. In addition, this study includes several recommendations for future improvements on emission inventory quality control checks as well as on national data management procedures.

What's got 2 wheels, great balance, and runs on battery power? It's you, tooling around town on a sweet new Segway. Transportation doesn't have to be cumbersome or gas-guzzling, and with a Segway you're well on your way to taking control of the road, riding greener, and the ultimate advantage: getting to your destination safe and sound.
First-timers and old pros alike can relish the fact that Segways were built for all kinds of riders. Your Segway requires no special skills (in fact, it takes care of the balancing act all by itself), and virtually anyone can use it — so long as you can stand on 2 feet for an extended period of time.
A Segway is safe and efficient in both design and functionality. It balances you by applying forces to the ground in the direction of the lean. If you lean forward, the Segway applies motor torque to the wheel to push it forward, bring you upright, and balance you. When you lean back, it applies reverse torque to slow and balance you.
Each Segway comes equipped with two settings: "beginner/turtle" mode and "standard" mode. "Beginner" is set to 6 mph and "standard" is designed to go up to 12.5 mph (about equal to a 5-minute mile).
Yes. Namely, a rider must not be less than 100 lbs. or more than 260 lbs. The total weight of any handlebar cargo plus any additional attachments hanging from the handlebar should be 10 lbs. at most. The Segway company recommends that riders be over the age of 16.
It might seem like a silly question, but there's a lot more to smooth Segway sailing than wearing a helmet and crossing your fingers.
Read the user manual meticulously and seek instruction from someone who is qualified and experienced in operating Segways.
Have a spotter when you first climb on and practice (someone you can trust to catch you).
At the very least, you should absolutely wear a helmet — additional safety gear includes knee padding, elbow padding, and wrist guards.
If you're cruising around at night (that is, if it's legal to do so in your neighborhood), wear reflective clothing so that people can see you easily. If you're into night rides, always add lights to your Segway so that you can see and be seen.
It might seem obvious, but always keep both hands on the handlebars — don't try to maneuver with one and eat an apple with the other.
Avoid abrupt maneuvers when riding. Although your Segway can sense your movement and aims to rebalance you, it might not be able to fix your balance if you move forward or backward too suddenly. Likewise, always lean into turns and take them slowly.
Though you might have seen a cop do it in a movie once or twice, don't ride backward on a Segway. That's meant only for getting out of a tight spot or turning around, never for actual travel.
One of the most important rules to follow when operating a Segway: don't ride on roads! Your Segway wasn't meant for the road — it's incredibly dangerous and mostly likely illegal. Wherever permitted, cross roads with caution.
This one is simple: avoid speeding. Your Segway will actually warn you if you're going too fast, using a "Speed Limiter" — it pushes the handlebar back as a way of slowing you down. Pay attention to this and stop leaning forward.
Similarly, get to know the "Stick Shake Warning." It activates when you go too fast backward or push the Segway past its limits, such as going over bumpy terrain, down a slope, or speeding up or slowing down too quickly. If it doesn't stop after you slow down, stop and get off. It could be telling you that your battery packs are low or that there are maintenance issues that need to be addressed.
When you're done riding, stop your Segway before getting off of it. Don't let go of a Segway that's still in balance mode or it will continue to move without you and could potentially hit someone or something.
