Zest Deep Slim Jig - 470gr
Zest Jigs & Hooks
At last, BCS has introduced the Japanese Long Jig phenomenon into NZ. This style of jigging has taken Asia, Europe and Australia by storm with large game fish and bottom fish taken by long jigs. NZ charter operators have long known that long jigs out fish any other jigs.
Why long jigs
Long jigs represent a large bait-fish. All predatory fish will attack a larger bait-fish more readily than a small one because it is more efficient to take larger prey than small. The effort to the predator is the sane so it will always choose a bigger meal. Hence Zest jigs tend to attract larger fish of any species that prey on bait-fish.
Jigging techniques
Any of your favourite jigging techniques will work with Zest jigs. This is a great opportunity to experiment with short or long rod sweeps, intermittent retrieving, speed retrieving or plain yo yoing.
Favourite kit for long jiggers is short powerful rods, strong high speed reels, braided line (30-100lb) and fluorocarbon wind-on leaders. Don't under estimate the power of high tech spinning reels e.g. Shimano Stella or Daiwa Saltiga. These reels are capturing huge fish on this type of tackle. Try it, you'll love it!
Zest Assist Hooks are available separately.
Deep Slim jig's are "Rear Centre Weighted" and are designed to fall quickly with an enticing action.These jig's are worked similarly to the Super Deep or Jig Star Spear. The reverse side is highly luminous like the Cuttlefish. This Jig is the SUPERSTAR of the Zest range with outstanding successes in OZ and NZ. Available in 4 colours and 370gram, or 470gram.
Zest Deep Slim Jig 470gm FEATURES:
Jig Weight: 470gms
Available in Colours: Red Head, Pink, Blue Mackerel, Pink Mackerel
Please make your Colour choice Above
Zest Deep Slim Jig 470gm , zest, deep slim, zest jig, zest jigs, puka jig, kingie jig,

The French defender is back after a bang on the head recently.
Training is about to begin at Cobham... https://t.co/7UKPuncXsJ #CFC— Chelsea FC (@chelseafc) December 19, 2014
Chelsea are through to the League Cup semi-finals after a comfortable 3-1 victory against Championship high-flyers Derby County.
Goals from Eden Hazard, Filipe Luis and Andre Schurrle did the trick for Chelsea, but at one point it looked like the result would come at a price.
On the stroke of half-time Petr Cech and French defender Kurt Zouma both battled for an aerial ball. Cech punched the ball clear of danger, but Zouma then crashed head on into the side of Cech's protective helmet.
Zouma, a £12 million signing from Saint Etienne who arrived at Chelsea this summer, fell to the floor in a heap. After moments lying hopeless help was called, although the response was not quick enough for Cesar Azpilicueta and Cesc Fabregas. The Chelsea stars helped run the stretched onto the pitch for the fallen colossus.
He left the game, but after the fixture he was in the dressing room laughing and joking with his team-mates.
He is expected to be fit for the fixture against Stoke City at The Britannia Stadium on Monday night and he was even shown heading into training for the Blues earlier today - just to show he is as fit as a fiddle.
Have something to tell us about this article?

When I heard about the Protein Bar opening in Chicago I was anxious to visit. I'm always excited to try a new restaurant and as a person who works out a lot, protein is very important to my diet. Also it's great to have a healthy food option in downtown Chicago. We visited Chicago in March 2014. I was able to get to Protein Bar two times.
Protein Bar was clean, very well lit, the wi-fi was great and the service fantastic! The first time I went there I tried the Guac N Roll. A Bar-rito filled with roasted chicken, veggies, and a cilantro lime dressing. Satisfying meal! It has 540 calories and 30 grams of protein!
|Guac N Roll
The next time I went to Protein Bar I tried the Spinach and Pesto Bowl and the BGT Drink. The Spinach and Pesto Bowl was a lot better than I thought it would be. It has quinoa, basil pesto, roasted chicken, spinach and Parmesan cheese. The bowl is 480 calories and has a whopping 38 grams of protein. The BGT Drink contains milk of your choice, I chose almond, Matcha Green Tea, vanilla whey protein and banana. The BGT Drink has 240 calories and 19 grams of protein.
|Spinach and Pesto Bowl and BGT Drink
There are several locations open in Chicagoland. Most of them are downtown Chicago. Hoping that they will expand to more neighborhoods. If not full restaurants maybe they could have Protein Bar Express restaurants located in grocery stores. I think a partnership with Mariano's would be great!;-)
I highly recommend Protein Bar. They are located around Chicagoland, Colorado and Washington DC. Check out their website and connect with them on Twitter and Facebook!
Update 4/3/15: Since I originally posted this restaurant review, Protein Bar has added more locations in Chicago and have expanded their menu! Can't wait to get back to Chicago and try more things!

Ramadan Appeal Delivered
2016 Ramadan Appeal Distribution Higlights from Thailand, Vietnam and Papua New Guinea
25 & 26 June 2016 – Bangkok, Thailand
As part of our 2016 Ramadan Appeal, your iftar and food pack donations were distributed in 19 different locations of Bangkok, Thailand. The campaign was co-ordinated by our country partner; Marmara Solidarity and Aid Foundation.
An ARO delegation travelled from Melbourne to attend the distribution programs held at different locations in Bangkok. This year, Nur Elif Ankara (Teacher at Sirius College Eastmeadows Girls High School) and Feyza Artar (Councillor at Sirius College Shepparton Campus), led a student delegation from Sirius College which consisted of Fatma Lelik, Selin Bas and Beyza Yavuz for the charity trip.
On their first day, our volunteers stopped by the local Dar ul Ebadah Mosque to provide your food pack donations to locals. After, our group visited poverty stricken houses at that neighbourhood and observed the extreme poverty conditions that are challenging the locals. Next, our delegation travelled to the city center and attended an iftar dinner at the Islamic Center, which was sponsored by your donations. Later, food packs were provided to orphans to an adjacent orphanage as well as to the needy living around the mosque. Needless to say, their joy was priceless.
On their second day, the ARO delegation had the opportunity to share your iftar donations at Masjid Anwaisunnah with locals. Then, they provided your food pack donations to locals living around the Sasanupathum School under the rain. The school provides education to almost a hundred orphan and poor children.
Throughout their journey, our volunteers team was surrounded by needy recipients. Contemplating on the importance of the aid packs to the locals, the trip provided a platform for their spiritual growth and development into more conscious individuals.
We would like to thank Marmara Solidarity and Aid Foundation for their coordination, our volunteers team from Sirius College, Melbourne for their fundraising and travel efforts, and of course all our sponsors who supported our Ramadan Appeal campaign with their iftar and food pack donations.
25 & 26 June 2016 – Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
As part of our 2016 Ramadan Appeal, your iftar and food pack donations were distributed in different locations of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The campaign was co-ordinated by our country partner; HIBS Horizon International Bilingual School in partnership with the Fatherland Party of Vietnam.
An ARO delegation travelled from Sydney to attend the distribution programs held at various locations in Vietnam. This year, Gurkan Gurbuz, Recep Aydogan, Sefa Demir, Mustafa Agar, Gurkan Pullukcu and Hakan Kosaroglu volunteered for the occasion.
On June the 25th, the group landed in Ho Chi Minh City and their first distribution point was the Town Hall of District 8, where hundreds of food packs were handed out. There, our delegation was warmly greeted by Mr. Le Van Thu, Representative of Fatherland Front of People Committee Ho Chi Minh City, and Mr Mai Hong Phong, Vice-President of Fatherland Front of People Committee District 8. To simplify the distribution process, our food pack recipients were selected by local authorities and were issued collection coupons beforehand. Our volunteers team then headed to a local mosque and presented your iftar donations to the congregation. Later, they also distributed food packs to selected beneficiaries to locals.
Day two, was much more exhausting. The ARO volunteers left Ho Chi Minh City for Choi Moi District, travelling through the Vietnam country side. During this four hour bus trip, they witnessed the poverty stricken areas of the country side. Next, food pack distribution in Choi Moi District took place in the town hall as well as village and it was strongly supported by the local officials. There, our volunteers team were swarmed by the needy recipients, and they really understood the importance of the aid packs to the locals. Throughout their journey, our volunteers also tried to please the local children by handing out toys and sweets.
Our team had a further three hour bus trip to An Giang Province. There in Chau Phong, they were able to distribute a large number of food packs across four different mosques. The President of Masjid Al Nia' personally thanked Australians for helping and remembering them during the month of Ramadan and hoped that this would continue on a yearly basis.
We would like to thank Horizon International Bilingual School for their coordination, our volunteers team for their effort and those who supported our Ramadan Appeal campaign to make it a success.
An ARO volunteers team travelled to PNG to attend the distribution programs held at various locations of Port Moresby. For this occasion, our volunteers were university students from Sydney; namely Koray Adali, Gabriel Moussa and Furkan Cansiz.
Upon their arrival to PNG on 24 June, the group was welcomed by the Paradise High School representatives and taken to the school. There, the ARO delegation has helped the preparation of food packs which contained rice, sugar, flour, cans of tuna, sunflower oil and noodles. After preparations, food packs were loaded up onto a truck and set off to the first distribution site.
Locals were delighted to see our delegation with great smiles on their faces and waited for their names to be called out by the community leader. Distributions continued on 25 June at the second distribution site. There, the ARO delegation observed that those people haven't had a proper meal in days.
As the distribution process started, the hopelessness in the eyes of locals faded away and villagers sang songs of joy as they received their food packages. In addition to lack of jobs, it is observed that those locals have had difficult lives. As the village chief explains to our volunteer group, many of our aid recipients have either no jobs or has lost a loved one. Exacerbating the situation, HIV or a severe case of tuberculosis is very common among those people.
Our group attended an iftar later that day at the local mosque to hand out iftar donations and had a chance to spend time with the locals. While sitting and eating, locals expressed their appreciation for the iftars, gratitude towards ARO and the Australian donors.
Personal note of Koray Adali on his PNG experience is as follows: "Making our way back to the school after the second distribution, there was a certain eerie tone in the truck everyone was trying to absorb and understand the experience. Even though we were happy to help the locals, we have felt as though that our effort was not enough. We should have done more! Then, we took another shipment of food packs to the third settlement. Once again, the people were overwhelmed with joy and we were thrilled to be there and help out. As we handed out the food packs, I asked the community leader: "If it wasn't for these foods packs, how would these people get food?" The answer was shocking: "They don't!" This struck a nerve within all of us and made us think about our way of life at home, where we simply walk to the fridge to get a meal. These people can not get any food on the other hand, even if they walk for 2 kilometres! That ride back to the school was by far the quietest as everyone was just consumed by deep thought on our own way of living and the things we take for granted. We decided to help out more in the future.
Speaking on behalf of the whole group, this trip was an eye-opener and I am honoured and blessed to be a part of ARO's 2016 Ramadan Iftar and Food Pack campaign. Trials and tribulations that we faced on the trip, has been a platform for our growth and development into more conscious individuals."
We would like to thank Paradise High School for their coordination, our volunteers team for their effort and those who supported our Ramadan Appeal campaign to make it a success.

Technology to maximize the power of geothermal energy is actually an area that really needs to be explored. It is one area which has a lot of potential. The Earth generates huge amounts of natural energy underground that basically needs to be utilized. As we approach our daily lives, we have no clue about the tremendous force that lies below our feet. All we must do is discover a way to take advantage of that energy for ourselves. The heart of the Earth is about sixty times hotter than boiling water. There is a lot of energy merely a few miles below the Earth's surface that have already been created from the scorching heat generated from the Earth's core.
If you have ever watched what takes place when a volcano erupts, you will understand that there is much power and also energy in the magma, or superheated fluids. Some of these types of fluids come to the surface in the form of water vapor that is released in vents. Many people have created their very own vents and containment chambers to transform the magma into energy to power their households. A plant which could take advantage of this powerful resource needs to be built close to an area with a great source of heated fluid. Steam would be generated from the fluids that would be forced to the surface through the tubes that have been fitted down directly into the magma. An adequate amount of the steam would produce electricity, by turning a turbine engine.
Needless to say, using geothermal energy on a massive scale does have a handful of controversy. Some critics believe that the cost of research and implementing is too costly and too time consuming. On top of that, the cost to build a plant is high with absolutely no guarantee that it could turn a profit. There is furthermore a chance that once a plant is completed, there might no longer be enough steam to generate electricity. There is also deep concern by environmentalists that toxins will also be brought up as well as the steam.
But the advantages to utilizing geothermal energy significantly outweighs the criticisms. Further research should show that the energy would be provided by the Earth, so any toxins would be minimal. As soon as a geothermal plant is set up the work needed to channel the energy isn't that great, making this type of energy very efficient.
The natural environment would be disrupted less, because the plants are smaller compared to giant dams, atomic energy, or electrical facilities. With substantial use of geothermal energy, there would be less reliance on coal and oil for fuel.
What we realize for sure is that the price of geothermal is moving down and that the energy itself is an inexhaustible resource. While the initial upfront cost is still significant, once the capital is made back, it will be a very cheap source of energy. This really is a source of energy that will likely be in demand.

Sometimes I look in the mirror and I don't like what I see.
Every time I step on the scale, I find myself looking up and gritting my teeth before I look at that dreaded number in between my toes.
You hear from beautiful and empowered women that it's just a number, and you shouldn't let it define you.
I want so desperately to feel that beautiful and empowered, but honestly, all too often I don't.
I'm really good at seeing the beauty in others, and telling them how awesome they are, but when it comes to seeing that in myself, I struggle almost everyday.
It's so tragic that women are completely brainwashed from the time we are born to believe that our self worth is so greatly influenced by our waistlines, and not by our intellect, or wisdom, or the fact that we literally grow human beings inside our bodies and keep the human race alive!
Seriously, enough is enough.
I know there will be moments when I will forget about my true divine nature, which is the true essence of every woman, every child, and every man. It is no understatement that we are the embodiment of love. The hard part is remembering this every day.
I believe that part of loving myself means that I eat healthy whole foods everyday and try to incorporate soul-satisfying nutrition and flavor into my meals.
So for today, I share a recipe that helps me feel nourished and strong, and is utterly delicious at the same time.
These sweet potato fries are crisp and the avocado sauce has a bit of coconut milk to give it a subtle tropical flavor that is so light and refreshing.
Yes, this is life-giving food.
HOW TO SLICE SWEET POTATOES (without slicing off your fingers):
1. Slice a portion off of the sweet potato to create a safe flat surface to chop from.
2. Lay the sweet potato flat side down and slice about 1/2-inch size slices width-wise.
3. Slice them into fries. Remember that the sweet potatoes will shrink in the oven so don't slice them paper thin.
Now coat them with chipotle powder, smoked paprika, potato starch, and olive oil. Don't salt them until they are done, as the salt pulls out moisture and will make them a little soggy.
Although this next step isn't required, if you have a cooling rack that fits in a sheet pan, place the fries on top with parchment paper so they won't stick. The rack helps to circulate heat under the fries to help them crisp up. If you don't have a rack, just place them on parchment paper directly on the sheet pan. Don't overcrowd the pan. They will get soggy otherwise!
While the fries are baking, make the avocado dipping sauce with an avocado, cilantro, a touch of unsweetened coconut milk, lime, and salt.
Let the fries cool for a few minutes, then dive right in.
Here is to life-giving food and self-love in action.
Bon Appétit Ya'll,
Leslie O.
Smoky & Spicy Baked Sweet Potato Fries|Avocado, Cilantro & Lime Dipping Sauce
For the Sweet Potatoes
- 3 sweet potatoes skins removed, sliced then cut into fries
- 2 1/2 Tbsp . olive oil
- 1/4 tsp . chipotle powder
- 1/2 tsp . smoked paprika
- 3 tsp . potato starch
- salt
For the Avocado Sauce
- 1 avocado
- 1 lime juiced
- handful cilantro
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- salt to taste
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Slice a chunk off of the sides of each sweet potato to make a flat surface to cut from. This will keep the sweet potato still while you are slicing into it.
Slice 1/2 slices width-wise. Cut them into fries from there. Don't slice them to small because they will shrink in the oven.
Mix the spices and potato starch together.
Coat in olive oil, then the spices and potato starch mixture. Don't salt until they come out of the oven. Salt will extract moisture and will make them soggy.
Place a cooling rack in a sheet pan and cover with parchment paper. Top with the sweet potatoes, but don't overcrowd the pan! It's better to use two pans if your sheet pan isn't big enough.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked and the edges have darkened. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
While the fries are baking, make the sauce by adding all the avocado, cilantro, coconut milk, lime, and salt to a food processor and puree.
Serve with the fries!

It wasn't until I started playing these superb reissues that I recalled just what a truly original and vastly underrated stylist Anita O'Day was. A wild child with a fondness for sex 'n' drugs 'n' alcohol, Anita O'Day inevitably ran with a fast crowd from an early age. But it was to be stints with Gene Krupa (Let Me Off Uptown), Woody Herman, Stan Kenton (And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine), Count Basie and solo 78s that included 'Hi Ho Trailus Boot Whip' that positioned her as one of the most popular big band singers of the 1940s. Later, when Norman Granz founded Norgran Records, Miss O'Day was one of his priority signings and over a 10-year period that kicked off in 1952, he released no less than 17 albums by this songbird – four of these are assembled on these two CDs: Anita Sings The Most, Pick Yourself Up With Anita O'Day, Cool Heat (Sings Jimmy Giuffre Arrangements) and Anita O'Day Swings Cole Porter With Billy May. Though there are moments where she proves herself to be the ultimate female jazz singer, surprisingly, Anita O'Day hasn't attained the iconic status with the public as say Ella, Billie or even Nina Simone. Yet, one only has to rerun her appearance in Bert Stern's movie of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival to gauge the extent of her talent. Here, wearing a black and white ensemble of large fringed picture hat, cocktail dress and white gloves her unique treatment of 'Sweet Georgia Brown' was the hit of the festival, earning her much deserved worldwide recognition.
The 11 tracks she taped back in 1957 with Oscar Peterson's Trio are all prime cuts – two strong individual personalities complementing one another as opposed to locking horns. Similarly, Jimmy Giuffre, Billy May, Buddy Bregman fashioned their memorable arrangements to showcase both O'Day's range and a dry vibratoless style which relied upon short, punchy phrases that set her apart from her contemporaries. For this, they gathered together Hollywood's finest players who seem aware that these sessions are undoubtedly a cut above the usual studio call. And, while most vocalists of the day took a stab at much of this material, Anita often proved to have the last word, For instance, she brings a slightly menacing undercurrent to Cole Porter's 'Get Out Of Town' while 'Man With A Horn' has her cozying up to Stan Getz. Word of caution: Any aspiring young female contemplating a career as a jazz singer, would be best advised to absorb the entire content of these two releases and then decide whether or not they'd be better employed on an M&S checkout!

The Thriving at Work report, commissioned by the UK government, was launched today (26th October 2017) with some significant findings on mental health in the workplace. The report shows that 300,000 people with long-term mental health problems lose their job each year. Poor mental health costs businesses between £33 billion and £42 billion a year, with an annual cost to the UK economy of between £74 billion and £99 billion.
Can the design and layout of the workplace have an impact on people's mental health? Many of the factors that lead to mental health problems – such as sitting for long periods of time, stress, limited socialisation, lack of space to concentrate, and disengagement – can be prevented by making wellbeing a priority in your workplace design and layout. Here are five tips for designing a workspace that improves your colleagues' wellbeing.

MediPet review and enhance their cover offerings and premiums in May of each year.
Always read an insurance policy document carefully – remember the devil is in the detail! Our products offer complete cover without small print exclusions for breed or hereditary conditions, pre-approval requisites, concealed sub-limits and lack of cover for complementary or holistic wellness benefits where necessary.
Our ethos is the pet comes first – always.
Many of the newer pet insurance products are sold through brokers as an add-on cover to house or car insurance, and form a minor part of the brokers' book of business. Furthermore, most of these brokers offer these pet insurance products without the necessary support staff or the ability to argue a claim on behalf of their member at vet level.
In contrast, MediPet prides itself on employing a team of animal loving staff that has grown the business into the largest dedicated pet insurance broker in South Africa. With our in-house vet expertise, in addition to our commitment to act on behalf of our members, we are able to ensure that our cover is accompanied by the best possible customer support service.
Like so many things in life "You pays your money and takes your choice" but as the only insurance broker in South Africa at this time dealing solely with pet insurance, there is, in our opinion, only one viable choice: MediPet!
*MediPet is MediPet Animal Health Insurance Brokers (PTY) Ltd (FSP 32613). Pet Underwriting Managing Agency (PTY) Ltd (FSP 44387), trading as PUMA, underwrites all MediPet business on behalf of Renasa Insurance Company Ltd (FSP 15491). MediPet, PUMA and Renasa Insurance Company Ltd are all authorised Financial Services Providers.

Two weeks after release Yuumi's win rate has climbed to 42%
This is just from people picking up her kit. I think we still need to give people more time to learn her. I see people bringing exhaust flash on her which dramatically lowers her win rate. I personally have only lost games with Yuumi support as ADC because Yuumi afk'd or just sucked at knowing who to be on during a fight. The good Yuumis have basically made it so whatever ADC I play wrecks anyone because you always go in with a lead as long as you play around her Q and ult as well as keep in mind that you are the focus of the fight in most even fights. I just remember that Yuumi is strong and let her soften them up and play either poke or reactive until we get the opening as most hook supports fail if you just don't get hooked and a hook death = double kill with Yuumi so you just have to play that much safer. If you have an ADC that is meant to go in Yuumi is one of the best supports in the game right now in the right hands. You just have to wait until your opening comes.

How to Estimate Roofing Materials
Explore this Article Estimating Shingles Estimating Felt Underlayment (Tar Paper) Estimating Other Materials Article Summary Questions & Answers Related Articles References
There are 8 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
Knowing how to estimate roofing materials is important. Not only will it help eliminate waste, but it will also ensure that you buy just enough for the project. This wikiHow will show you how to estimate roofing materials for your next project.
Part 1
Estimating Shingles
1Find the square footage of the roof. Measure the length and width of each portion of the roof, multiply length by width for each plane, and then add the planes together for the total square footage.[1]
2Determine the total number of squares. Divide the total footage by 100 to determine the number of "squares" in the roof.
3Determine the bundles of shingles needed to cover the roof. It takes three bundles to cover a square if you use 3-tab shingles, the most common type.[2]
4Account for waste. Add 10 percent to the shingle estimate to account for waste.
- If your roof has hips and valleys, make it 15 percent because of waste in cutting shingles to fit the valleys.
Part 2
Estimating Felt Underlayment (Tar Paper)
1Find the square footage of the roof. Measure the length and width of each portion of the roof, multiply length by width for each plane, and add the planes together for the total square footage.
2Find the number of squares. Roofers measure surfaces in squares of 100 feet (30.75 square meters). Divide the total footage by 100 to find the number of squares in the roof.
3Determine the number of rolls of underlayment needed. The #15 type is most commonly used, and one roll of #15 underlayment covers 4 squares.[3]
- If you're using #15 underlayment and your roof slope is greater than 4:12, use 1 layer. If the slope is between 3:12 and 4:12, double the amount and put down 2 layers.
Part 3
Estimating Other Materials
1Measure for drip edge. This metal strip, which goes beneath the underlayment, protects the edge of the roof from rot. You'll need the measurements of the rakes and eaves of the roof (side edges and bottom edge). Use a rake edge for the side of the house as well.
2Estimate how many roofing nails you'll need. At 4 nails per shingle, that's about 320 nails per square.[4]
- For high-wind areas, use 6 nails per shingle, or 480 nails per square.
- Inquire at the hardware store regarding the size of nail you'll need and how many pounds you'll need of that size; the number of nails per pound differs. The nails should be long enough to go ¾ inch into the roof.
- Inquire at the hardware store regarding the amount of underlayment nails required. Always use 1-inch (2.5 cm) nails. The nails should be 12 inches (30 cm) apart along the edges and 24 inches (60 cm) apart in the middle of the underlayment strip.
3Gauge the amount of hip and ridge cap shingles. While you can order special hip and ridge cap shingles, you can make your own by cutting a 3-tab shingle into 3 pieces. A bundle of 3-tab shingles will cover 35 lineal feet (9.2 m).[5]
4Take other miscellaneous costs into account. Depending on the type of roof and your supplier, you may have some other costs to consider. Some of your other costs may include:
- Venting. A venting system plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the roof during hot and cold weather.[6]
- Flashing. Aluminum or steel material that is used to cover roof joints and prevent water from getting in.[7]
- Ice/water shield. An ice shield is only necessary if you live in an area that is prone to ice and snow in the winter.[8]
- Boots. These are required to go around any pipes sticking through the roof.
- Delivery charge for your materials (if there is one).
Community Q&A
QuestionHow do I calculate how much drip edge I need for a gable roof?Mark SpelmanMark Spelman is a General Contractor in Texas. He has been a construction professional since 1987.
General ContractorGeneral ContractorExpert AnswerThe drip edge metal is only used at the bottom edge of roofs - near the gutters. Measure the length and add 10% to find how much drip edge you will need.
QuestionI have a roof that measures 2550 square feet. How many bundles of shingles do I need?Mark SpelmanMark Spelman is a General Contractor in Texas. He has been a construction professional since 1987.
General ContractorGeneral ContractorExpert AnswerYou will need 82 bundles. Make sure to figure out the ridge cap material that you will need as well.
QuestionWith 1460 square feet, how many bundles of shingles do I need?Community Answer1460 divided by 100 equals 14.6 squares, so 14.6 x 3 (bundles per square) equals 43.8 bundles.
QuestionHow do I determine the number of bundles needed for a rubber roof?Community AnswerThree bundles covers one square foot of roof area. One square equals 100 square feet, or a 10 x 10 area. One bundle covers 33.3 sq. ft.
QuestionHow many bundles of ice and water shield use in one square?Community AnswerIce and water shield comes in rolls with adhesive on the back. I usually only run it under the valley area and at the end of the roof where ice dams can form to prevent the water from seeping under the shingles and paper. It usually comes in 3 or 4 foot wide rolls and you need to measure off how many feet you will need based on layers and how far up the roof you are applying it. On roofs that are flatter I like to use two rows of Ice barrier overlapping at least 1 foot on the rows. That gives you protection up 5 ft from the bottom of the roof line. So use linear feet to figure how much ice barrier material you need.
QuestionHow many bundles do I need to cut into a ridge cap for 75 feet?Community AnswerOne bundle of three tabs goes roughly 33 ft so add two more bundles to your material list.
QuestionI have a 1080 sq ft house. How many bundles of shingles do I need to shingle the house?Community AnswerYour roof line is not going to be the same as the square footage in your home. You will need to measure the length and height of you roof to calculate how many bundles you need to purchase. If you have valleys and or dormers, you will need to measure and calculate those by adding their sq. ft. into the sq. ft. of the rest of the roof.
QuestionHow many bundles of shingles do I need for 10 squares of roof?Community AnswerThirty bundles, but remember to allow for waste. So if you anticipate waste, make it 31.
QuestionHow do I measure the square footage of a roof?Community AnswerMeasure at the bottom from one side to the other. For example, 10' then measure up the side from bottom to top, say 5'. You'd have a 10' x 5' side now times that by 2 for both sides, 10 x 5 x 2=100 measuring out to a total off 100 square feet for both sides together or 50 square feet per side.
QuestionHow many bundles do I need for a 5,128 square foot roof?Community AnswerTake the square foot of 5,128 divide by 100 (100 sq ft is equal to one square), so you have 51.28. It takes 3 bundles per square, so you will multiply 51.28 by 3 and you will get 153.84. Add a square for waste, so you will need 157 bundles.

Article SummaryX
To estimate roofing materials, start by finding the total square footage of the roof and divide the number by 100 to determine the number of "squares" in the roof. Since it takes 3 bundles of shingles to cover a square, plan to purchase 3 bundles for each square. Then, add 10% to the number to account for waste. Using the number of squares that you previously counted, plan for 1 roll of under-paper to cover 4 squares. For tips on estimating other materials, like nails and ridge shingles, read on!

Outdoor Adventure believes that wilderness experiences allow students to develop transferable leadership skills and can be an integral part of student development. Outdoor Adventure strives to prepare students to be effective leaders through theory and practice in both back and front country experiences. Outdoor leaders must be able to prepare, lead, analyze risk, and demonstrate competence and judgment while leading a group of their peers in an unfamiliar environment. Through increased responsibility in adventure activities students will also develop tolerance for adversity and uncertainty.
For those interested in becoming more involved, Outdoor Adventure has a variety of options:

During the transitional summer break between primary and secondary school children from six London schools took part in the SPACE Studios Summer School programme, faciliated by Codasign and in collaboration with artist Stefanie Posavec.
As a Codasign tutor I led the workshops, which involved introducing the students to methods of data collection and visualisation, outside of conventional diagrams, graphs and tables. Each day small groups were given data collection devices powered by Raspberry PI's and a number of environmental sensors to go out into the Olympic Park and collect quantitative data using these devices, whilst also observing their environments and collecting data about their personal qualitative experience.
Each student then discussed and examined their data for patterns and interpreted this through a personal artwork using various craft/art materials and maps of the area.View Project »
Working with Jynk on the client and server-side development of this responsive portfolio site for Production company, 2AM. This involved the continuing development of a CMS that allows the creation of directors, showreels and videos, and managing the relationships between them.
The client side work involved creating a player driven by showreels that integrated the Vimeo API.View Project »
This collaboration with White Line Projects (a collective of fashion curators) was commissioned by the British Council for the International Fashion Showcase 2014.
See the project embedded in the British Council website.
This interactive map allows you to follow the journey of designers from around the world to the International Fashion Showcase in London. Over the weeks leading up to the show the designers were posting photos of their studios and local areas to document their personal creative process and sources of inspiration around them.
Using these geolocated images I developed a Nodejs CMS and JavaScript front end application that allowed White Line Projects to work with the designers to create a visual and geographical narrative of their experience. During the show itself we also published visitors images documenting the live event.
Artist and educator Anna Blumenkranz teaches a module at Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich to media and art pedagogy students. This involves a variety of open source hardware and software technologies as platforms for creative expression and critical thought. Anna invited myself and artist Emilie Giles to facilitate a two day workshop with her on critical computing.
Over the two days the students were introduced to the physical computing platform Arduino and given the tools and guidance to create a working prototype for presentation at the end of day two.
As an introduction Emilie and I explained our working practices as part of Open Systems Association; a group of artists and practioners who collaborate on projects that explore the various technologies and systems that surround us. Anna, Emilie and I each produced a prototype project prior to the workshop in order to facilitate discussion about our practice and approach to critical computation.
At the end of the final day the students had created three diverse prototypes involving e-textiles, conductive objects and homemade skin conductance sensors.
"Immerse yourself in the live transmissions of three young people as they walk through their neighbourhoods in Manchester, telling you about their lives and asking you about yours."
"In My Neck Of The Woods you participate online. Three young people walk through their neighbourhoods in Manchester, filming themselves as they go. You choose which of the three you would like to have a conversation with, whose questions you would like to answer, who you feel comfortable just being with. Select them and you are dropped into their live video stream. You travel with them as they tell you about their lives and as they ask you about yours."
The development of the platform for My Neck Of The Woods involved an initial challenge to create an intimate experience between a single broadcasting performer and multiple online viewers/participants. The difficulty in creating an engaged and participatory experience using live broadcast transmissions is something that Blast Theory have tackled in previous work. Working with artists and developers at their studio we devised and built the platform/architecture that gave viewers the opportunity to have a one to one exchange with a young person about their neighbourhood and other topics of importance to them. Outside of the technical platform the projects success was facilitated by a great team of artists and associates from Blast Theory and not least the talented young people in Manchester who were brave enough to engage strangers about personal and intimate topics.

In 2013 the BBC delivered the first 'truly digital' Glastonbury. Picture Ltd have been responsible for the previous iterations of the BBC's event platfrom (EAVIS), which manages live events across the BBC. This year as part of a small team of developers at Picture we built the first responsive front end to EAVIS for use across small screen devices during Glastonbury 2013.
The BBC Academy is the BBC's centre for training. It houses the Colleges of Journalism, Production, Technology and Leadership. It is the central source for articles, videos and podcasts aimed at giving people, external and internal, an insight into how the different parts of the BBC goes about producing its output.
I was part of the team who developed the new responsive Academy site for the BBC in 2013. The Academy site had a complete redesign and front-end build that focussed heavily on small screen device accessibility and used some progressive design patterns inspired by native mobile applications. It also uses a raft of modern front-end JavaScript and CSS techniques (such as Media Queries, Local Storage API and History API) to enhance the browsing experience. Because of its progressive nature the new Academy site is being used as a benchmark/inspiration for other BBC departments when it comes to redesigning and building new responsive sites.View Project »
Camp Loco was a series of creative workshops for 4 to 7 year olds in the Hackney, which involved introducing children to unusual, creative and material practices. Each workshop was planned and facilitated by a creative practitioner with a specialism in a particular area.
One day of the series consisted of 3 science related workshops, one of which was an Analogue Computing workshop that I devised. The intended goal of the workshop was to excite the children about the inner workings of computers (software and hardware) and to introduce concepts of computing as problem solving…whilst also having fun, pretending to be robots and not using anything recognisable as a computer.
Camp Loco was organised by New Future Collective who are also responsible for the fantastic Disco Loco events.
This installation was a one of the major exhibitions at Transmediale 2013.
Evil Media Distributions Centre was an artistic response by YoHa to the recently published book Evil Media (2012) by Matthew Fuller and Andrew Goffey, which focusses on the pervasive presence of so-called "gray media" – an expanded notion of media or forms of mediation that provides a deeper, more complex understanding of their effects on how we act, perceive and think in our daily lives.
The artists have invited 66 contributors to choose and write a short text about a gray media object (ranging from tampons to software compilers), and these texts and objects are then presented in the setting of a curiosity cabinet designed as a distribution centre.
My contribution to this project was a short text on Compilers and Interpreters.View Project »
Everything but the Kitchen (EBTK) was a group exhibition by members of Open System Association articulated as a radical kitchen space. Seven units house critical experiments where members of the public can plug into bodies and their processes, approaching critical thinking and technological tinkering from the perspective of physical engagement. How does our understanding of feedback systems shift once our nipples are connected through suction to another body? How does time materialise in a physical database of chopped, organised and washed vegetables? How can we re-politicise domestic media by grinding corn kernels?
Myself and artist, Alexandra Jönsson, devised the project Suction Mechanisms. This was a series of performative experiments unfolding over the duration of 11 hour exhibition exploring how milk pumping labour and suction mechanisms tie emotional and material bodies together by manipulation of air flow. How can new relationships emerge through the touch and pressure of a nipple tied to the flow and containment of liquid in the process of the manual labour of pumping?View Project »
In collaboration with the Open Systems Association, YoHa, Southend Education Trust and Digital Exploration Centre I was involved in producing and facilitating a Hack Day devised to introduce Southend teachers to the open source hardware platform, Arduino, as a method of engaging children in programming and computing.
This ongoing project is a response to news in January 2011 that the Education Secretary was axing the existing ICT curriculum and giving schools the opportunity (albeit with no further funding or training) to devise their own curricula.
The project aims to help schools develop new ways of learning and teaching technology, that will engage young people in the creative applications of computing and programming. Artists and technologists within OSA devised, planned, built and thoroughly documented three open-source Arduino projects for the first hack day held at Digital Exploration Centre in Southend-on-Sea. As part of the workshop/hack day itself teachers and students were presented the projects and offered the chance to interrogate the technology as well as the methods of conception and production. This was with a mind to employing strategies into classroom activities that are outside of the realm of conventional computing and IT teaching methods.

In collaboration with Frown Tails I facilitated the Twitterbots workshop, which took place during the ReMap3 contemporary art festival in Athens.
During the workshop participants were guided through the process of creating a piece of software in the Python programming language, which could be constructed to have its own personality. This was achieved using some primitive natural language processing directly inspired and appropriated from the ELIZA library.
Wabbitware is a critical software experiment. Rather than using a copyleft licenses such as the GPL General Public License to ensure the genealogy (access to source code) of software Wabbitware and any further Wabbits derived from the first compiled iteration carry with and distribute their source code whenever they are executed.
Wabbitware explores the notions of code and its associated practices in domains of the social, legal and technical. Within each software piece is an encoded and embedded subjectivity that raises questions about software's construction and authorship. Whilst software continues to play a more pervasive role in day to day life it is one aim of this project to encourage curiosity and discussion around these techno-social assemblages.

A YouTube channel to accompany a series of adverts broadcast during the X-Factor final ad breaks. At the end of each advert a Twitter hashtag was assigned to each of two potential forks in the narrative. The YouTube channel would visualise the live count of each hashtag and also show the story so far.
After the series of ads were complete the YouTube channel became a site to explore each permutation of the narrative.
Using the YouTube API and the HTML5 Video API we supported video playback on various devices. The custom video navigation and timeline were built using the HTML5 Canvas API.

A product catalogue and interactive narrative during which the user drags and releases frozen characters who crash through walls into a next scene. Extremely high frame rate video was shot for the purposes of enabling this unusually 'drag and release' navigation. A Facebook widget was also built for each of the scenes so it could be embedded into the Facebook Timeline.

A Facebook application that analyses your personal information to deliver one of 9,000 possible bespoke animations.
The application scrapes data from numerous different areas of the Facebook Graph API and scores the user against certain criteria to determine a sequence of animations to play (usually including some relevant images or statistics about the user).
Read a detailed case study by Stinkdigital.
The PHP Zend Framework and Facebook's Graph API were used to perform the user data analysis. Flash and Robotlegs micro-architecture framework were used on the front-end to sequence the animations and add dynamic user specific content.

A sing-a-long / karaoke Facebook application commissioned by Yeo Valley to accompany their TV advert of a spoof boy band 'The Churned', which was aired during the X-Factor final ad break. The user could sing into their microphone and the application would detect pitch and match this against the original score for the song.
The Flash application accesses the users microphone data and uses a C++ library for pitch detection that was cross-compiled to ActionScript 3 using the experimental Adobe Alchemy project. The application was built using the Robotlegs micro-architecture.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. generic drugmaker Mylan Inc is in advanced talks to acquire a multibillion-dollar portfolio of established products from Abbott Laboratories, people familiar with the matter said.
The proposed transaction, which is in late-stage discussions, would see Mylan acquire a big chunk of Abbott's Europe-based mature drugs for several billion dollars, said the people, who asked not to be named because the matter is not public.
The acquisition of the foreign assets, according to some of the people, could also allow the U.S. company to change its tax address to overseas, a practice known as inversion that has become popular among healthcare companies seeking to cut their tax bills and gain access to cash held offshore.
The exact value of Mylan's bid could not be learned, but people familiar with the matter previously told Reuters that Abbott was looking to sell a portfolio of mature drugs that could fetch more than $5 billion.
A deal could come as soon as next week, but the discussions are continuing and could still fall apart, the people cautioned.
Abbott's established pharmaceuticals division is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland and had 2013 sales of roughly $5 billion. About half of the sales come from emerging markets, and the remainder from other international markets.
Representatives for Mylan declined to comment, while Abbott did not respond to requests for comment.
A potential deal with Abbott would come after Mylan's failed attempt to buy Swedish drugmaker Meda AB earlier this year. Meda in April rejected Mylan's revised $6.7 billion takeover bid, saying its biggest shareholder did not back a deal.
Mylan was looking to do an inversion deal partly because it was at a disadvantage compared with foreign rivals as well as other U.S. generic drugmakers that have redomiciled to a low-tax country.
Major competitors include Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd, which is based in Israel, and Actavis Plc, which re-domiciled to Ireland through a 2013 acquisition of Warner Chilcott. Both face lower tax rates.
Tax inversions allow U.S. companies, which face one of the highest tax rates in the world - a federal tax rate of 35 percent, and an overall rate that can be close to 40 percent, including state and local taxes - to move to a lower-tax country by buying or creating a new holding company.
The deal would add to a flurry of dealmaking in the healthcare sector, which more than tripled to $317.4 billion in the first half of 2014 from the same period last year.
Reuters first reported in May that Abbott has tapped Morgan Stanley to find a buyer for the off-patent drugs so that it can free up resources to invest in high-growth areas.
Other large pharmaceutical companies including GlaxoSmithKline Plc, Sanofi SA and Merck & Co Inc are also looking to shed older drugs, many of which have lost patent protection and face shrinking sales.
Faced with healthcare spending cuts and generic competition, the pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a major restructuring, with companies playing to their strengths by building up certain businesses and divesting others.

The Turkey is irregularly migratory, as well as irregularly gregarious. With reference to the first of these circumstances, I have to state, that whenever the mast[1] of one portion of the country happens greatly to exceed that of another, the Turkeys are insensibly led toward that spot, by gradually meeting in their haunts with more fruit the nearer they advance towards the place where it is most plentiful. In this manner flock follows after flock, until one district is entirely deserted, while another is, as it were, overflowed by them. But as these migrations are irregular, and extend over a vast expanse of country, it is necessary that I should describe the manner in which they take place.
About the beginning of October, when scarcely any of the seeds and fruits have yet fallen from the trees, these birds assemble in flocks, and gradually move towards the rich bottom lands of the Ohio and Mississippi. The males, or, as they are more commonly called, the gobblers, associate in parties of from ten to a hundred, and search for food apart from the females; while the latter are seen either advancing singly, each with its brood of young, then about two-thirds grown, or in connexion with other families, forming parties often amounting to seventy or eighty individuals, all intent on shunning the old cocks, which, even when the young birds have attained this size, will fight with, and often destroy them by repeated blows on the head. Old and young, however, all move in the same course, and on foot, unless their progress be interrupted by a river, or the hunter's dog force them to take wing. When they come upon a river, they betake themselves to the highest eminences, and there often remain a whole day, or sometimes two, as if for the purpose of consultation. During this time, the males are heard gobbling, calling, and making much ado, and are seen strutting about, as if to raise their courage to a pitch befitting the emergency. Even the females and young assume something of the same pompous demeanour, spread out their tails, and run round each other, purring loudly, and performing extravagant leaps. At length, when the weather appears settled, and all around is quiet, the whole party mounts to the tops of the highest trees, whence, at a signal, consisting of a single cluck, given by a leader, the flock takes flight for the opposite shore. The old and fat birds easily get over, even should the river be a mile in breadth; but the younger and less robust frequently fall into the water,—not to be drowned, how-

Households in the U.S. are having a hard time making ends meet. Even as Americans continue to recover from the hammer that hit them in the late 2000s, they face severe and rising rents and jobs that are geographically concentrated in just a handful of metro centers.
A new poll conducted by Ipsos on behalf of Enterprise Community Partners finds that 21 percent of respondents had to cut back their spending to make their rent or mortgage, or that they were unable to pay their rent or mortgage over the past year. Of those respondents who were unable to pay for their housing, more than half cut back spending on their groceries (57 percent) and/or clothing (54 percent).
Some 15 percent of respondents said that they had moved once within the past five years due to rising rent or mortgage payments. And 15 percent also said that they were "very worried" (7 percent) or "moderately worried" (8 percent) that they would have to leave their homes within the next 12 months because their housing is unaffordable.
The poll reveals the economic insecurity that continues to wrack the nation. Americans are not so much struggling with economic conditions as they are adjusting to structural changes—seemingly permanent ones—within the U.S. economy. Job growth today is concentrated in fewer than two dozen counties. Federal assistance for poor families is evaporating, while the number of households facing worst-case housing needs is soaring. And zero counties have enough affordable housing for families facing extreme need.
With the demand for rental housing reaching its highest level in more than half a century in 2015, rents are rising everywhere. To make ends meet, respondents to the poll said that they cut back on a wide variety of spending to save enough for their rent or mortgage—namely groceries and clothing, but also household necessities (43 percent), travel (33 percent), and paying credit-card debt (31 percent). Almost one-quarter of respondents said they declined medical care in order to make their housing payment.
Beyond the individual sacrifices households made, the survey also reveals some of the broader economic views produced by the affordability crisis. For example, respondents were asked to agree or disagree with the following statement: "Leaders of our community should work to create and preserve safe and affordable homes for all." Some 75 percent of respondents "strongly agree" or "somewhat agree" to that sentiment. In practice, though, Americans often fail to agree about what kind of housing should be built and where, or which housing must be preserved and why.
Respondents overwhelmingly agree that communities need more affordable housing: 77 percent "strongly agree" or "somewhat agree" with the statement, "We should develop rental homes that are more affordable for families in our community." Respondents support state and local intervention to create affordable housing (71 percent "strongly favor" or "somewhat favor"), affordable housing for families earning low wages (82 percent), affordable housing for teachers and nurses (84 percent), and more affordable housing for seniors (89 percent).
But when asked how to create this affordable housing, respondents dithered. Half support a tax on home sales that would support affordable housing; half oppose. Fees on developments to support the construction of homes for low-wage workers are popular (65 percent), just not as popular as the idea of affordable housing. And respondents were split over the cause of rising prices in the rental market: 49 percent of renters said that new developments in their neighborhoods caused rents to rise, while 50 percent disagreed.
The poll was conducted between February 29 and March 4, 2016, with 1,006 adults interviewed online in English. Because it was conducted online, it may not include the perspective of very vulnerable households that do not have internet access. Statistical margins of errors do not apply to online polls—see more on the methodology here—but the Ipsos poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
If this poll is any measure, Americans broadly agree that the affordability crisis is real and deserves government attention. Tens of millions of Americans have experienced hardships small and immoderate, directly and indirectly, and many are apprehensive about facing hardship in the future. What the solutions will look like is harder for people to say—but people are asking for answers.

Whether you're staying home or traveling to be with family this Thanksgiving, our Jogger is going to be your new best friend. Between the relaxed fit and drawstring waist, you'll be thankful you opted for this go-to pant after your second helping of turkey and stuffing.
Bloggers, Ryan from Fashionisto Diaries and Makayla from Fashionably Kay, show us how they style our Jogger for the holiday.
Meet Ryan:
I started Fashionisto Diaries in high school as a way to keep in touch with friends. Now, I am able to share my style with friends all around the world! During my sophomore year of high school I interviewed Tim Gunn. After that interview, I knew I wanted to interview more people and tell them my opinion on fashion. My style is casual preppy. I feel it can be replicated and that's what I want. I believe fashion is achievable, but style is something you learn. Fashionisto Diaries is my journey of understanding my own personal style and everything else that happens along the way.
What Inspired Ryan's Look:
I wanted to go outside my comfort zone for this look! I've really never worn flannel before and I don't wear a lot of colored pants. This was the perfect start and I believe this look came together without looking to "christmas-y." I wore this look around the city, but you can wear it anywhere. The flannel kept me super warm and the joggers allowed me to be active during the day, while looking chic.
Get Ryan's Look:
Ripstop Jogger Pant
Rugged Flannel Workwear Shirt
Vintage Quilted Fleece Jacket
Legend V-Neck T-Shirt
Reindeer Beanie
Canvas Chukka (Similar)
Meet Kay:
Makayla McAfee is a twenty-something year old from Ohio. She is currently in her last year at Kent State University for her fashion merchandising degree. She works as a manager in retail, and started her blog, Fashionably Kay, as a personal outlet to share her love for fashion.
What Inspired Kay's Look:
This outfit was inspired by a cozy city look. I love a comfortable yet chic style that can take you from running errands to lounging around at home. I paired it with an AEO sweater to create a black and white look, which happens to be my favorite. These joggers are perfect for it all!
Get Kay's Look:
Textured Zippered Jogger Pant
Soft Knit Crew Sweater
Show us how you style our Joggers with #AEOSTYLE on Twitter and Instagram for the chance to be featured on our Style Gallery!

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.
Crunchy numbers
The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 83,000 times in 2010. If it were an exhibit at The Louvre Museum, it would take 4 days for that many people to see it.

Where did they come from?
The top referring sites in 2010 were dailypainters.com, networkedblogs.com, mariapacewynters.com, mail.live.com, and facebook.com.

Fierce fingertips from OPI, Gelish, and Perfect Match
Long nails that last the longest
4 p.m., Dec. 5
I'm ashamed to admit it, but I did pout a little bit for the first fifteen or so Christmas seasons here in San Diego. It was a difficult adjustment for a New England kid. I really missed the snowy holidays of my childhood. All of the Christmas paraphernalia you see faked here — snowmen, sleighs, mufflers, carolers, ice skating, hot cocoa after a cold night of caroling — I lived them for real. And it used to annoy me that people who enjoyed near perfect weather year round were stealing my home region's holiday magic. It was as if you couldn't let poor old New England have its moment in the sun…or snow. I guess I was against cultural appropriation before it was cool to be. But what I slowly came to realize is that people here weren't stealing my New England childhood, they were honoring it. "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," the old saying goes.
In this new-found holiday spirit, I've been pouring myself into Christmas in San Diego the past few years. I've taken the family ice skating. We've driven around looking for the best Christmas lights. We've popped into hotel and office-tower lobbies looking for the grandest Christmas trees in town. (Tip: if you can only do one, do the Hotel del Coronado's. Make a night of it and ice skate on the beach.)
This year, we're going to see Santa, but with a caveat. We don't want to stand in line to see him sitting in a cardboard house at the mall charging $15 a photo. We want to see what Santa does when he isn't in his workshop, flying his sleigh, or simultaneously sitting in every mall in America. Maybe we'll see you at one of these less conventional Santa sightings. I'll be the mom wearing the Christmas-decorated-palm-tree T-shirt.
Over at the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, Scuba Santa will be diving in the Giant Kelp Forest tank to swim with the garibaldi, moray eels, and leopard sharks, and wave to girls and boys watching through the glass during the Seas 'n' Greetings seasonal event. "From December 1 to 31, Birch Aquarium is transformed into a holiday wonderland," their website promises. But please note: "There will be no holiday dive shows December 24 or 31 and only elves will appear in the dive shows from December 26 to 30 — Scuba Santa needs some rest."
Perhaps it's your pooch who is yearning for a Santa sighting. On December 10, Fido has a chance to do just that at Santa Paws in the Southwestern Yacht Club along the Chula Vista waterfront from noon to 2:30 p.m. Lunch and portraits for $20. Proceeds go to the San Diego Humane Society. If morning is your time, the Bernardo Winery in Rancho Bernardo is hosting Breakfast with Santa, which includes ornament making, face painting, visits with Santa, and wild-animal encounters. Running from December 18 through December 23, from 9:30 a.m. to noon; $40 for adults, $30 for kids age 7–12, $10 for children 2–6.
Outside the War Memorial Building in Balboa Park, December 16, Saint Nick will be brunching with children with special needs ages 3–12 at the Kid Zone Brunch with Santa. Starting at 11:30 until 1:00 p.m., there will be games, brunch, face painting, and visits with Saint Nick; $5 for attendees over the age of 12.
Helen Woodward Animal Center is hosting Frosty Farm on December 2, 3, 9, and 10 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. A one-hour guided excursion with one of Santa's helpers through the farm with animal encounters, games, an elf-obstacle course, crafts, face painting, cookie decorating, and a meet-and-greet with Santa; admission is $19.99 per child, $9.99 per adult.
The Hillcrest neighborhood will be offering Taste 'n' Tinis on December 14 from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. I won't be taking the kiddos to this, but the over-21 crowd should enjoy a stroll through town for signature dishes and drinks and free photo opportunities with the "Naughty Santa." Tickets $25 in advance, $30 the day of.

Latest Rocket League update is ground-breaking
It's update time for Rocket League at Psyonix headquarters, and after dropping what was an incredibly popular new game-mode with last year's Rumble there was clearly a sense of pressure at the bi-monthly team meeting. I mean, come on: how on earth are you supposed to top rocket-powered car football with power-ups?
I can almost picture the enthusiastic developers in conversation: "remove the goals. No, no – make the floor the goal. and make sure it all looks like the inside of a technophiliac beehive." However inspiration struck, it did so with some force, as Psyonix released yesterday the latest crazy game-mode for Rocket League, the confusingly-named Dropshot.
The premise is not even a little bit simple. The hexagonal pitch is divided into two halves – orange and blue – with each half being subdivided into a bunch of smaller hexagons. These hexagons must be knocked off, in order to reveal the goal beneath; the aim of the game is to fire the ball at your opponents' half of the pitch so as to knock enough hexagons away to put the ball through the floor (and into the metaphorical back of the net).
Struggling to keep up? Me too. Individual hexagons need to be 'hit' twice in order to fall away, and the harder you fire the ball at your opponents' floor, the more hexagons you'll affect, but bear in mind that if an opposing player touches the ball before it hits their half you'll do no damage at all. Players cannot fall through the floor (which saddened me deeply to discover) but your boost refills automatically, so no rushing about to collect pads.
The bewildering game-mode brings with it a brand new arena, called Core 707, and is available in a 3v3 non-ranked playlist. It also brings some entirely unrelated decorative items: new Easter-themed toppers and antennae, as well as some brand new wheels to mark the end of the previous season of competitive play. There are four sets of rims available, depending on whether you finished the season in Prospect, Challenger, Rising Star, or Champion.
In other news, the universally-loathed arena Neo Tokyo has been removed from competitive and casual play, to be reinstated with a standard layout at a later date. The Aquadome arena has undergone some performance optimization for those with less powerful PCs, whilst Mannfield (night) is now available on all playlists. A new crate, the Turbo crate, is also available for purchase, and includes a mixture of previous loot items and a new battle-car, the Endo; there's plenty more, so for a full break-down of everything that's new, check out this handy list on the Rocket League website.

Walter Bishop Quotes
My actions caused the death of my wife, unspeakable damage to two universes. I lost my career and my sanity. All because I tried to help another Peter. I may be the only man who can help you, but I also am the only man who cannot help you.
Walter: Tell Agent Broyles that science has no price tag!
Astrid: I'm sure he'll be very pleased to hear that.
That's quite a quandary. Perhaps we're looking for a ghost after all.
I had the idea! I know what a Faraday machine is. A buffoon would!
This is a time bubble. And if we are right, what's happening is originating there and apparently why the agent was obliterated. You can't just walk from the present to the past shattering the laws of physics.
I am ready to present a theory.
Well, it's a wonderful device nonetheless, despite the poorly written instruction manual.
Every day, for the past 25 years, I've tried to imagine what you'd look like as a man. My son. But I don't deserve this. I realize that now. This is my punishment. You were sent to take me to see if I would repeat the mistakes of the past. You shouldn't be here.
You asked for my theory! I never said it was flawless.
Olivia: Walter, he says you're the only one he will speak to.
Walter: Me?
Olivia: Walter, he says his name is Peter Bishop. He says he's your son.
Well, what choice do I have? I've been haunted for weeks with visions of a strange man. And now the man is here, in the flesh, in our midst, and no one will let me examine him or even see him. I'm kept in the dark knowing nothing. How's a man supposed to get some rest with all these uncertainties?
When I do that, people say I'm crazy. I suppose I've learned that crazy is a lot more complicated than people think.

Quick note: This test is timed! You have N MINUTES to complete the test! All unanswered questions will be marked as incorrect. Good luck and godspeed!
Talk to us! Let us know how we did!
Road signs is one of the most important subjects of the 2019 Wisconsin permit test and you simply cannot afford going into the DMV office unprepared! Up to a third of the entire temps exam can be dedicated to road signs, this is truly a single topic that makes or breaks the test and ignoring it can cost you dearly! This free Wisconsin road sign temps practice test was designed as a self-evaluation tool to help you assess your current skills and identify any potential trouble before you find yourself in front of the DMV computer, so make the most out of this opportunity!
While this Wisconsin temps practice test may look like a regular sample exam at first glance, it contains a number of features that place it into an entirely different league of permit test study tools. For starters, take the number of Wisconsin temps test questions you get access to. The exam is connected to a question bank with over 100 Wisconsin road signs, all of them taken either from the real permit test or developed with the help of the official drivers ed handbook, the same book the real test is based upon. All of the questions are multiple choice, with three or four answers provided for every question, most of them supplemented with great images of road signs. Whenever you begin your online temps practice test, the system selects 20 random questions from this knowledge base and builds a custom permit exam for you on the spot! The process can be repeated over and over again as many times as you choose and you will always end up with unique testing experience! This leads to two great outcomes - you don't get bored having to do the same questions over and over again; and you get reliable results for the exam since you don't have an option of choosing easy questions over their more difficult counterparts.
When it comes to interpreting results for this 2019 WI temps practice test, we want to ask you to change the approach you might have gotten used to while working on other permit practice tests on this website. For most of our sample quizzes, we recommend using a grade of 90% as a target score and upgrading to the next exam whenever you can consistently hit that target. This works perfectly for regular quizzes and provides you with sufficient coverage of driving rules to ensure that you pass the real Wisconsin drivers permit test. However, since road signs are truly the most important topic on the temps test and contribute so many points towards your DMV written test grade, we suggest that you really nail this exam and don't quit until you can answer every one of these questions correctly! It doesn't take much time, since road signs are quite easy to learn, but the value you get from this is hard to overestimate.
A point to note - this road signs practice permit test does not contain any study aids and if you are using it to gauge your current skills, you should not have any accessible study materials in your vicinity. Don't peek for answers in the drivers manual, take down any road sign study sheets you may have posted on your wall, don't use any notes if you want to get reliable results from this Wisconsin road sign temps practice test 2019! The only person you end up cheating is yourself and you really don't want to be doing that. Of course, things are different if you are just learning, but we recommend that you use regular practice permit tests for that purpose, they help you achieve your goal much quicker with the help of integrated study aids. Enjoy your temps practice test and good luck!

7000 Aluminum reduces the overall weight of the chair by 2 lb., making it comparable in weight with titanium frames. The big advantage of 7000 aluminum is three-fold. One, the material is approximately 23% stronger than 6061 aluminum. Two, since the material is stronger, we are able to reduce the wall thickness of the aluminum tubes, reducing the overall weight. Best of all, the rigidity and strength of a 7000 aluminum frame is further enhanced by Invacare Top End's sophisticated heat treating and powder coating process.
What is the benefit of 7000 series aluminum?
