Car covers are essential items for someone who is into the cosmetic look. To protect and preserve. To keep new for a long time.
Even though most vehicles are made of durable materials, their exteriors can be damaged with extended exposure to the elements. Each season has its own type of weather and precipitation that can damage the paint, windows, and metal. Even bright sunshine will eventually cause fading to the outside and the interior. For these reasons, people often invest in a quality car cover.
While the best thing is to keep a car, truck, or motorcycle in a garage, they can still be affected if the garage is damp and unheated. A good car cover will protect any vehicle whether it is outside or in the garage. It is an investment that will more than pay for itself by avoiding costly vehicle repairs.
Premium car covers for sale are made of durable canvas and can be custom-made for the vehicle. They are also water-resistant to guard against rain, snow, or ice. Dampness is the main cause of rust on a car or truck's body. Summer storms often bring hail, which is disastrous for the exterior of a vehicle. Covers shield the surface from the dents that hail can cause. They also create a barrier against wind-born debris and corrosive salt that is spread during the winter.
Keeping a car covered during the day also blocks harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun, which has negative effects on the paint. Uncovered windows can magnify these harmful rays and cause fading and discoloration in the seats and dashboards. If it is snowing and icy, a covered car will not have a frozen buildup that will require extra work to remove before driving. Fluctuating temperatures are stressful for the body of a vehicle. Extreme cold or heat can put undue stress on the engine also. Covers provide a protective insulation in either situation.
Another obvious reason to use a car cover is for privacy. Many superior car covers are made of cut-resistant materials and have locking straps. Would-be thieves cannot see anything through covered windows. The vehicle also stays safe from possible vandalism, such as key scraping. Vehicles are a big investment and need proper care. Keeping them covered is a step in the right direction.
One reason why people do not purchase the covers is they are expensive. When it is the matter of the protection of your car then you should be compromise. You can always purchase used covers in order to save money. However, make sure it is not torn or worn because that won't make any difference and your car won't be protected. Such covers might come off because of heavy winds so better not take any chance.
You can look for the covers on the internet, many retailers these days are selling these covers at wholesale prices. You might find a nice one at a reasonable price. If you cannot purchase an original one then do purchase the used ones. They will come cheap. But make sure that they are in proper condition so that they may serve the purpose well. It is important to protect your car so you should not overlook getting a car cover. Get a cover according to the type of your car and safe it from damage.

Do you know him as friend? (James 2:23)
What we don't know is the day or the hour in which he will come! (Mark 13:32)
If you want to know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, and would like to be made alive to ALL his promises in the Word of God, say the following prayer and believe the words with all your heart. You WILL be born again! (Romans 10:9)
Jesus, come into my life. Forgive me of all my sins. I ask you to cleanse my heart, and make me a new person in you right now. I believe that you are the Son of God and that you died on the cross for me and all of humanity.
Jesus, I want to thank you for loving me enough to die for me. I accept all that your shed blood bought for me on the cross, and I receive you as my Lord and Savior today. In your name I pray, Amen.
If you have just prayed that prayer, welcome to God's family! In the New Testament, II Corinthians 5:17 says, "…old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." In God's eyes, you have a clean slate, and his Spirit will give you the desire to obey him and the power to do what pleases him. (Philippians 2:13)
My prayer is that I will celebrate eternity with you in heaven; with Jesus, our wonderful Lord!
Student of Diligence
Matthew 25:15 "And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey."
Unlike past blog posts, this one is short for several reasons. I feel bad for not having been as active on this site as in time past. Secondly, I will explain it by saying I have endeavored to be a student of diligence in an assignment the Lord has given me.
In going about our Father's business, the ministry has really picked up momentum! I don't need to list the servings on our platter; we all seem to have plenty! I am truly enjoying my Bible College studies and that is what takes up much of my extra "down time".
I am doing my very best to live out II Timothy 2:15, "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Thus, the title of this post: "Student of Diligence".
I pray this post will serve as a nugget to encourage everyone; to take the talents God has given you and INCREASE, or MULTIPLY them! We all should want to hear, Matthew 25:21 "Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." Oh hallelujah…God bless you!

The most pressing issue in Ukraine right now is obviously the violence in the east. With pro-Russian separatists consolidating control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, acting President Oleksandr Turchynov admitted yesterday that the government's security forces are "helpless" to resist and "unable to carry out their duties of protecting citizens."
The situation in the country has changed so drastically since the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych in February that it's easy to forget that back in Kiev, a post-revolutionary government is struggling to establish its legitimacy, restore some semblance of governance, and prepare for presidential elections scheduled for May 25. Meanwhile, the veterans of the Euromaidan, the movement responsible for Yanukovych's overthrow, are uneasily adjusting to the new reality. Yesterday I had a chance to speak with a delegation of three prominent Ukrainian activists, all of whom participated in the protests, at the D.C. offices of the Open Society Foundations, which is facilitating their trip to the United States.
"We have no illusions about current politicians and we can't guarantee there won't be a need for new protests," said Oleksandra Matviichuk, chairwoman of the Center for Civil Liberties, a prominent human rights NGO.
Indeed, recent Ukrainian history gives ample cause for pessimism. After the 2004–2005 Orange Revolution brought pro-European political forces to power, the country ended up with a bitterly divided, blatantly corrupt government as well as economic stagnation that helped Yanukovych return to power. Matviichuk says that one reason things could be different this time is that the movement is less identified with any one political party or politician.
"The Orange Revolution was led by politicians," she said. "But during Euromaidan, political parties played a very small role. They couldn't control the Maidan. Now people understand that they have to take responsibility. After Euromaidan, people understand that they have to work outside of every political party, no matter the color." The main goals she identified for the post-Maidan world were reform of the police and judiciary as well as a broad-based campaign against corruption.
Maksym Butkevych, a former journalist and immigration reform activist who participated in the Euromaidan, agreed that after Ukraine's last major revolution, "Old-school politicians decided they were in power and could do the same things as their predecessors." This time, he said, success will require "remaking the whole country anew."
He also acknowledged that the events in Crimea and the east put activists in a bit of an awkward spot, wanting to put pressure on the new government to rapidly reform but also needing to support the country's unity amid a challenge to its territorial integrity.
"It's a weird situation for me," he said. "Being from an activist background, I've forgotten what it's like to say "our government." For years and years, I've never associated myself with the government. Suddenly, the civil society organizations have become the main protectors not of the state but of society."
I asked Butkevych, who works for the anti-xenophobia NGO Social Action Center, about the much-discussed role of far-right groups in the Maidan movement as well as the country's new government.
"During the protests themselves, it was for some period of time very uncomfortable to be on the same side of the barricades with the far-right groups," he said. "More odd bedfellows I've never had in my life."
He acknowledged that the far-right Svoboda party was extremely visible during the protests mainly because it's better able than any other political group in the country to quickly mobilize its rank-and-file members, but said that it "never played such a huge role as is being portrayed in the media" and "never had the sympathies of the majority of the protesters."
He worried, however, that the country's current challenges could lead to a revival of militaristic nationalism. "I think most Ukrainians were proud that their country is the only one in history that had given up its nuclear weapons in exchange for guarantees. After Chernobyl, Ukraine wanted to be a nuclear-free zone," he said. "Nowadays, many people feel that it was a mistake. In Putin's world, guarantees don't mean anything."
Whoever wins in May, and however the military confrontation plays out, one of the toughest challenges facing the new government will be to bridge the country's geographic-linguistic divide and win the support—or at least the acceptance—of those who opposed Yanukovych's overthrow.
Volodymyr Shcherbachenko, a pro-European activist from Luhansk, now increasingly under the control of separatists, who heads the board of the East-Ukrainian Center for Civic Initiatives, said that he believes about 10 percent of the population in eastern Ukraine are "strong supporters of connections with Russia, and federalism," 10 percent are pro-European, and 80 percent "consider themselves Ukrainian citizens and don't really want to join Russia, but they will do nothing to protect our state or the unity of the country." He acknowledged that "the pro-Russian part is much more active and more aggressive. They believe their time has come and they have support from Russia." He also had little doubt that separatist activities were being coordinated by Russia.
Shcherbachenko expressed concern about whether the election would take place at all in Ukraine's contested eastern regions. "The situation is getting worse every day," he said. "Right now it's unstable in just two regions: Luhansk and Donetsk. It's all about the ability of our government to stabilize the situation. Without a strong military presence, we will not have this election."
Butkevych feels that both the government and civil society groups need to communicate better with those on the other side of the barricades, particularly given the overwhelming influence of the Russian media in framing the debate.
"When you talk to ordinary pro-Russian protesters, not the camouflaged fighters from Crimea or wherever, but ordinary inhabitants of Luhansk, their message is very similar to that of the Maidan," he said. They don't want corruption anymore, they don't like police impunity and police brutality, they want to have a say on the regional and national level, they want their rights to be protected. These are all messages of Maidan and they're also on the other sides. "
All three advocated stronger U.S. support for Ukraine's security services and economic support for the new government. Matviichuk argued that Ukraine's sovereignty should be an international priority not only for its own fate, but because the challenge to international norms that would be posed by Russia's annexations going unchallenged.
"We are in a totally different world now," she said. "It's not only a question of what Ukraine should do. It's a question of what democratic states should do in a world in which the taboo of annexation has been violated."

Breaking Her Rules (Beyond the Cage #1)
Author: Jennifer Snow
Genre: Contemporary, Romance
Release Date: July 21st 2015
Published By: InterMix
Walker Adams was supposed to follow in his lawyer father's footsteps, but instead he's training to be an MMA fighter. And while he works for his chance to make it in the UFC, he's bunking on his baby sister's best friend's couch. Gracie Andrews is all grown up—in all the right places. But she's engaged to the fight match-maker who holds Walker's career in his hands…
Gracie had almost convinced herself that she'd put her silly childhood crush on Walker to rest. But the sight of him sleeping in only a pair of boxer briefs makes it clear that some things never change. And as old sparks turn to flames, Gracie is forced to decide between the future she thought she wanted or the man she's never stopped loving…
(This book is currently on pre-order via Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and Books-A-Million. Release date expected to be July 21st, 2015.)
Breaking Her Rule is one of those middle ground reads for me. There was nothing I disliked about it, but I wasn't completely in love with it. It is well written, entertaining and an all around good read. I believe, overall, that the synopsis of this one, really sums up the book without giving away any spoilers or leading you to believe it's more than it is. That too made it enjoyable.
Walker is standup guy who wants to fight in the MMA. He's hot, sweet, tattooed and has a thing for tall, leggy brunettes. He's been studying for the last few years to be a lawyer, trying to appease everyone else but himself until the day he decides he's not going to do it anymore. He wants more out of life than going through the motions. His dad, who expects him to follow in his own footsteps, cuts him off completely. At first I wasn't sure about this guy, but he grew on me the more I learned about him.
Gracie is that tall, leggy brunette I mentioned earlier. She's got her head on straight, a job she excels at and a man in her life that she could really just do without. Gracie had a crush on Walker at 12 and it only grew with the years until eventually she thought she was over it. That is until her best friend called with plea for Gracie to help her brother. What could three weeks of letting him bunk on her couch hurt, right? Not much. Until she opens the door and realizes that Walker's only gotten better looking with time and that her feelings have never truly gone away. With an absentee fiancee who has a better relationship with his phone than Gracie and doesn't pay her much mind beyond her job, she gets to know Walker all over again.
These two definitely spark when they meet again. Gracie lays out her "rules" and Walker agrees to follow them if they'll be living together. I mean, how much could they really bother each other with both having jobs and Walker training all the time? It's not a huge explosion, although the chemistry is very obviously there, think of it like a slow burn. They are both working though things, Gracie with her job and fiancee, and Walker with his training, upcoming fight and his father.
This book never lagged out for me, it never seemed rushed or had some of the awkward situations that sometimes creep into a book. I gave it a solid three stars. I liked it, a lot. I thought the supporting cast was great too and I'm excited to see spinoffs for other characters from this book.

Unlike currencies as we know them today where Authorities and banks can only choose to print endless numbers (I 'm not saying they're doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the various nodes of the network is currently the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that provide long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally connects in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the right area at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these firms decide how it functions, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to call to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these problems are resolved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any centralized business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated promoter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current constitutional problems to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. You've probably seen this many times where you often distribute the great word about crypto. "It is not erratic? What goes on when the value failures? " So far, several POS devices provides free transformation of fiat, alleviating some concern, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, a lot of people will be reluctant to keep any. We must discover a way to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. Lots of people would rather use a money deflation, especially people who desire to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial seclusion, for example, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; If you are living paycheck to paycheck, it'd take place as part of your wealth, with the remainder allowed for other currencies. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could increase drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business that may result in business being unable to continue to operate or to stop operation. When searching on the web forCapricoin Removal Software, there are many things to ponder.
Capricoin Removal Software – Bitcoin – QE for The Masses
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Capricoin Removal Software. Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in money lending, it's a fact that you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites now focus on Bitcoin, many of these websites you are needed fill in a captcha after a specific time frame and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a fair investment strategy. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for broadcast transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and verify these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to get transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but in addition they take part in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows progressive dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain always leaves public evidence a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the number of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario isn't to imply that markets usually are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there's no need for large amounts of money to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest occasions on earth market can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. If you are in search of Capricoin Removal Software, look no further than BTC.
Capricoin Removal Software: ETHEREUM – The Future is Now
In the case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it could even be traded as a commodity. Promoters of cryptocurrencies proclaim this type of personal income isn't managed with a central banking system and is not thus subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a restricted number of goods, this coin's worth is founded on market forces, letting owners to trade over cryptocurrency deals. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a particular address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in the same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is nothing more than a representation of worth, but there is absolutely no actual tangible sort of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers claim that there is "real" value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value grows due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that is worth an ever declining amount of currency or some sort of benefit to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which will be among the appealing aspects of the coin. The individual who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is supplied by another address, which is a "wallet" file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades lives. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be simply that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It truly is also possible that the regulators just don't comprehend the technology and its consequences, expecting any developments to act. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much greater potential for solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, depending on the number of "shares" won.
If you are considering going it alone, it's worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This alternative also creates a steady flow of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to totally block the benefit. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of nature of the process where it is transacted. All exchanges on the crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. After youare paid, you get paid. This isn't anything shortterm where your visitors could challenge or require a discounts, or employ illegal sleight of hand. In practice, most traders would be a good idea to use a transaction processor, because of the permanent nature of crypto-currency deals, you should ensure that stability is challenging. With any kind of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers might access your private keys and therefore grab your money. However, you most likely will never have it back. It's quite crucial for you yourself to embrace some excellent secure and safe techniques when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing so will protect you from most of these damaging functions.

yoga mat for sale. used once. – $1 (bellevue)
Yoga mat for sale. Used once at lunch hour class in December 2009. Usage timeline as follows:
Register for hot yoga class. Infinite wisdom tells me to commit to 5 class package and purchase a yoga mat. I pay $89.74. Money well spent, I smugly confirm to myself.
Open door to yoga room. A gush of hot dry air rushes through and past me. It smells of breath, sweat and hot. Take spot on floor in back of room next to cute blonde. We will date.
I feel the need to be as near to naked as possible. This is a problem because of the hot blonde to my left and our pending courtship. She will not be pleased to learn that I need to lose 30 pounds before I propose to her.
The shirt and sweats have to come off. I throw caution to the wind and decide to rely on my wit and conditioning to overcome any weight issues my fiancée may take issue with. This will take a lot of wit and conditioning.
Begin small talk with my bride to be. She pretends to ignore me but I know how she can be. I allow her to concentrate and stare straight ahead and continue to pretend that I don't exist. As we finish sharing our special moment, I am suddenly aware of a sweat moustache that has formed below my nose. This must be from the all the whispering between us.
Instructor enters the room and ascends her special podium at the front of the room. She is a slight, agitated Chinese woman. She introduces me to the class and everyone turns around to greet me just as I decide to aggressively adjust my penis and testes packed in my Under Armor. My bride is notably unfazed.
Since I do have experience with Hot Yoga (4 sessions just 5 short years ago) I fully consider that I may be so outstanding and skilled that my instructor may call me out and ask me to guide the class. My wife will look on with a sparkle in her eye. We will make love after class.
It is now up to 95 degrees in the room. We have been practicing deep breathing exercises for the last 8 minutes. This would not be a problem if we were all breathing actual, you know, oxygen. Instead, we are breathing each other's body odor, expelled carbon dioxide and other unmentionables. (Don't worry, I'll mention them later.)
It is now 100 degrees and I take notice of the humidity, which is hovering at about 90%. I feel the familiar adorning stare of my bride and decide to look back at her. She appears to be nauseated. I then realize that I forgot to brush my teeth prior to attending this class. We bond.
It is now 110 degrees and 95% humidity. I am now balancing on one leg with the other leg crossed over the other. My arms are intertwined and I am squatting. The last time I was in this position was 44 years ago in the womb, but I'm in this for the long haul. My wife looks slightly weathered dripping sweat and her eyeliner is streaming down her face. Well, "for better or worse" is what we committed to so we press on.
The overweight Hispanic man two spots over has sweat running down his legs. At least I think its sweat. He is holding every position and has not had a sip of water since we walked in. He is making me look bad and I hate him.
I consider that if anyone in this room farted that we would all certainly perish.
It is now 140 degrees and 100% humidity. I am covered from head to toe in sweat. There is not a square millimeter on my body that is not slippery and sweaty. I am so slimy that I feel like a sea lion or a maybe sea eel. Not even a bear trap could hold me. The sweat is stinging my eyeballs and I can no longer see.
This room stinks of asparagus, cloves, tuna and tacos. There is no food in the room. I realize that this is an amalgamation of the body odors of 30 people in a 140 degree room for the last 55 minutes. Seriously, enough with the asparagus, ok?
140 degrees and 130% humidity. Look, bitch, I need my space here so don't get all pissy with me if I accidentally sprayed you with sweat as I flipped over. Seriously, is that where this relationship is going? Get over yourself. We need counseling and she needs to be medicated. Stat!
150 degrees and cloudy. And hot. I can no longer move my limbs on my own. I have given up on attempting any of the commands this Chinese chick is yelling out at us. I will lay sedentary until the aid unit arrives. I will buy this building and then have it destroyed.
I lose consciousness.
I have a headache and my wife is being a selfish bitch. I can't really breathe. All I can think about is holding a cup worth of hot sand in my mouth. I cannot remember what an ice cube is and cannot remember what snow looks like. I consider that my only escape might be a crab walk across 15 bodies and then out of the room. I am paralyzed, and may never walk again so the whole crab walk thing is pretty much out.
I cannot move at all and cannot reach my water. Is breathing voluntary or involuntary? If it's voluntary, I am screwed. I stopped participating in the class 20 minutes ago. Hey, lady! I paid for this frickin class, ok?! You work for me! Stop yelling at everyone and just tell us a story or something. It's like juice and cracker time, ok?
It is now 165 degrees and moisture is dripping from the ceiling. The towel that I am laying on is no longer providing any wicking or drying properties. It is actually placing additional sweat on me as I touch it. My towel reeks. I cannot identify the smell but no way can it be from me. Did someone spray some stank on my towel or something?
Torture session is over. I wish hateful things upon the instructor. She graciously allows us to stay and 'cool down' in the room. It is 175 degrees. Who cools down in 175 degrees? A Komodo Dragon? My wife has left the room. Probably to throw up.
My opportunity to escape has arrived. I roll over to my stomach and press up to my knees. It is warmer as I rise up from ground level – probably by 15 degrees. So let's conservatively say it's 190. I muster my final energy and slowly rise. One foot in front of the other. One foot in front of the other. Towards the door. Towards the door.
The temperature in the lobby is 72 degrees. Both nipples stiffen to diamond strength and my penis begins to retract into my abdomen from the 100 degree temp swing. I can once again breathe though so I am pleased. I spot my future ex wife in the lobby. We had such a good thing going but I know that no measure of counseling will be able to unravel the day's turmoil and mental scaring.

President Obama, 2012 Presidential Election, Jewish vote: Jews are a very small part of the overall population … so why is this a big deal. Article is right; he has a people problem.
Polling and election results suggest a rising Jewish rebellion against the president. But a closer look reveals that these voters are not behaving any differently from other segments of the electorate.
In the most recent Gallup polling, Obama's disapproval rating with Jewish voters rose from 32 to 40 percent, and his approval rating sank from 60 to 55 percent.
Viewed one way, these numbers demonstrate that Obama is still more popular with Jews than with the country at-large. Seen another they point to Obama having a serious problem with a loyal constituency.
Clearly, Republicans think its the latter. They point to the president's controversial May speech on Mideast peace, in which he suggested that an agreement between Israelis and Palestinians should be based on 1967 boundary lines, as well as past rebukes of Israel from Obama.
Then came Tuesday's special election to replace Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) in what by all rights is a solidly Democratic seat. Palestinian statehood became a wedge issue in this district, which has the highest percentage of Orthodox Jewish voters in the country.
But Obama's position vis-a-vis Israel is not so clear cut. The administration is already planning to veto any United Nations Security Council resolution to recognize Palestinian statehood. Last week, the White House intervened to ensure personnel at the Israeli embassy in Egypt were evacuated safely after protesters attacked the compound — a move that won praise from American Jewish groups.
While the 9th district of New York, where Republican Bob Turner defeated Democrat David Weprin on Tuesday, is only about one-sixth Orthodox, that still makes it the most Orthodox district in the country. Many Turner voters interviewed about the race said it was actually Weprin's support of same-sex marriage in New York State, not Obama's policy on Israel, that energized them.
"The Orthodox community is growing faster than any other element of the Jewish community, and what New York's District 9 proves is when sufficiently motivated they will come out to vote," said David Pollock of the Jewish Community Relations Council.
So with the growing and more-conservative Orthodox community and Republicans determined to make Israel an issue, Obama might have to worry some about Jewish voters in 2012. But those concerns seem minor when compared to his problems in the rest of the electorate.

Goodreads, book recommendations service : Anybody use Goodreads … I never post … but do check when a friend posts.
Goodreads is now the Netflix of book recommendations, or at least the company thinks so, seeing as its CEO Otis Chandler said exactly that in a press release announcing Goodreads' new recommendation engine yesterday.
It's about time. Founded in 2006, Goodreads has gathered nearly six million users, a plump following for a niche social site, but while six million is a respectable number, the nature of Goodreads' service requires these users to be fairly active to get much out of it. To grow the audience, Goodreads needed to appeal to a more passive audience. Some may call these people lazy. I prefer to think of them as busy. And yes, I'm one of them.

'Life Hacks', LOL: OK … new name for redneck solutions …life hacks sound nicer.
Once reserved for computer programmer tricks and shortcuts, "Life Hack" has become a great way to describe the clever/brilliant/ridiculous solutions to everyday dilemmas we see posted online. It's hard to describe what a life hack really looks like, but let's just say you know it when you see it.
Take these 17 pictures below, for example. Haven't you ever struggled to fill a large bucket with water when only a small sink is available? Boom, dust pan solves the problem. Or have you ever wondered how to cool your beer when the refrigerator's on the fritz? Boom, air conditioner to the rescue.
We're not saying all these would-be inventors are bound for "As Seen On TV" deals, but a few of these solutions are pretty brilliant.
As for the rest, we'll let you decide if these "hacks" are truly innovative or just accidents waiting to happen.
Foursquare, Foursquare city 'badge' , Chicago: FourSquare … why do it when you can do the same thing on FaceBook … what am I missing.
Chicago will become the first major city with its own Foursquare city "badge"—earned after "checking in" at five of 20 designated neighborhood attractions—under a tech-savvy plan unveiled Friday to coincide with Social Media Week.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel billed the so-called "Windy City badge" as a way to promote small businesses, keep tabs on the social scene and give people a "greater sense of intimacy" that's sorely lacking in today's over-worked, multi-tasking world.
"We today as individuals who are very wired don't have a level of intimacy," the mayor told college students from across the Midwest at the Heartland Cafe, 7000 N. Glenwood.
"This is an attempt to give us that intimacy and relationship and community building we can't get any other way as we all get siloed off in our own individual worlds."
Emanuel, who has his own social media director, will be "checking in" on Foursquare as he hop-scotches across the city.
But in a rare moment of candor, the 51-year-old mayor acknowledged that he was venturing into uncharted waters.

writing, editing, tips: some more good advice …
For last year's boot camp, Jan Winburn, CNN.com's senior editor for enterprise, discussed five questions all writers should ask themselves as they approach each story: Through whose eyes are you telling the story? Who has something at stake? What's going to happen next? What's the story really about? Where should the story begin?
If you haven't read her essay, do it now — it's chock full of great advice. A key item to note is the difference between reporting and storytelling. A basic news story reports the facts — who, what, when, where, why (the so-called "5 W's") and how. A great story gives readers an experience, puts them in the middle of the action, with a character, timeline, scene, motive — all the elements of any great work. Before you start, know what kind of story you're planning to tell.

cities, urban development, pop-ups, Great Recession: Now they evidence both creativity and the recession. I just want to go on a pop-up tour!
When Toys "R" Us does a pop-up shop one can certainly make a case for the waning effectiveness of the genre. But despite their co-option by hipsters and marketing gurus, the temporary space remains a sharp tool in the urban revitalization kit. Why? As we well know, cities are starved for cash, their workers weary of bureaucratic obstacles and the word "no." So they welcome the creative, energetic, and financially prudent efforts of grassroots organizations that have seen opportunity in crisis. Vacant lots, abandoned buildings, parking spaces, and even slivers of pavement, have been transformed by prudent partnerships between governments, artists, architects, and designers, and volunteers motivated to improve their own communities. The best of these efforts are designed to enhance daily life not promote product or "lifestyle."

Tareq Salahi, White House crashers, life stranger than fiction: Truly, I thought this one was a joke.
"There is no hope or possibility of reconciliation," Tareq Salahi said, adding that he "has been greatly hurt and disturbed" by Michaele Salahi's actions.
The couple gained notoriety in 2009 when they crashed a White House state dinner. Michaele Salahi was a cast member of the reality show "Real Housewives of D.C." last year, but the show was canceled after one season. She was thrown off the reality show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" when it became apparent she wasn't addicted to anything.
Tareq Salahi said in the court filing that Schon was his wife's former boyfriend. Schon's band had played at the couple's northern Virginia winery, and photos on social networking websites show them partying with the band on several occasions. He also said the band paid for his wife's travel, accommodations and other expenses.
Tareq Salahi claims he has suffered both emotional and physical harm from his wife's actions. In addition to being able to stay in their home, he asked the court to ban both parties from harming the value of their assets, threatening or harassing each other

Easy-Bake Oven, icons, change: Can't they just leave some things alone. After reading this article, I realize that I probably had one in its first years …. The Easy Bake was introduced in 1963!
This week, Hasbro announced that its iconic Easy-Bake Oven would abandon its nefarious light bulb, a byproduct of toy's 11th redesign. Understandably, we're shaken by this news and as you search for blame, point your finger at the environmentally conscious set. As we began to phase out traditional light bulbs for the more energy efficient compact fluorescents, the death of the 100-watt light bulb was imminent – as was our childhood culinary experience. (At least we didn't let something as frivolous as safety concerns to alter our favorite childhood hazards.) "This gave us a reason to do it completely differently," Michelle Paolino, a vice president of global brand strategy at Hasbro, told the Associated Press. "We wanted it to look more like a real appliance, not a plastic toy."
Still, it's hard to believe that from now on, American youth won't know what it's like to learn about cooking (or burn units) by way of plastic ovens and light bulbs. Introduced in 1963, Kenner Inc.'s Easy-Bake Oven was the original chemistry set for confection. Children followed painfully simple cooking instructions – mostly of the "Add water. Stir" variety – to yield miniscule cookies or brownies. The updated version, the Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven ($49.99), features a warming unit closer to a traditional oven that can climb to temperatures of about 375 degrees while the outside of oven "remains only warm to the touch," according to the AP.

2012 Presidential Election, election laws, partisan issues, democrat v. republican: This happens whenever there is power balance shift … and the party out of power whines.
Looking to capitalize on their historic gains last year, Republican lawmakers in several states are rewriting their election laws in ways that could make it more difficult for Democrats to win.
They have curbed early voting, rolled back voting rights for ex-felons and passed stricter voter ID laws. Taken together, the measures could have a significant and negative effect on President Obama's reelection efforts if they keep young people and minorities away from the polls.
This year, more than 30 states debated changes to their voting laws. A dozen passed more restrictive rules requiring voters to present state-issued photo IDs, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, although Democratic governors in four states vetoed them. Florida and Ohio will cut nearly in half the number of days for early voting, and Florida lawmakers reversed rules that had made it easier for former felons to vote.
"If you have to show a picture ID to buy Sudafed, if you have to show a picture ID to get on an airplane, you should show a picture ID when you vote," Gov. Nikki Haley (R) said in the spring when she signed the bill into law in South Carolina.

students, work-study jobs, education, random: I think I would have died …
Some student jobs aren't just about the money.
Curtis Adams discovered that on his third day working in the morgue at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center this summer, when a doctor handed him a cadaver's intestine to clean out.
"You're so excited thinking they gave you this important task to do," he says. But as he snipped off the end of the intestine with a pair of scissors, Mr. Adams saw—and smelled—exactly what he had gotten himself into. "It was a trap," he says. "I realized that was my initiation."
His boss, Lawrence C. Nichols, a professor of pathology and chief of the medical center's autopsy service, confirms Mr. Adams's assessment: "You usually can only get someone to do that voluntarily once."
For most students, a campus job means a gig like reshelving library books or swiping student ID's in the dining hall—time-honored paths to a little extra cash for books and beer. But for a select few like Mr. Adams, the job itself is the payoff, the rare work-study or university-sponsored position that warrants a double take on a résumé and rewards its taker in bizarre stories and befuddled inquiries from friends and family. So you do what, exactly?

Cities, neighborhoods, change, Brooklyn NY, diversity: Rapid change … but are we adapting?
"Forty years ago, we wouldn't have a cow foot," Mr. Savarese said, pointing to a bucket of them. Goat meat, oxtail, Jamaican curry powder — these are the gradual changes that have allowed Michael's to stay open as so many of its neighbors have closed to make way for wig stores and West Indian bakeries.
"We're the last one," Mr. Savarese said, slicing into a side of beef.
In a city where Jewish neighborhoods turn Puerto Rican, then African and then something else, Mr. Savarese belongs to the sparse ranks of holdouts who have held firm amid the city's churn, even as newcomers have remade the streets around them. They dig in for many reasons: love of place, loyalty, optimism or sheer stubbornness. Nostalgia grounds some, inertia others. But all of them can still imagine, as they look out on their reshaped blocks, the neighbors and businesses that left decades ago.
At Michael's, a woman carrying two shopping bags pushed open the door on a recent afternoon and asked, in a Caribbean lilt, for the price of the oxtail. It was $6.29 a pound, she was told. "Lord have mercy," she said, backing out the door.
Mr. Savarese's disparate tribe of holdouts includes an Irish bar owner in Brooklyn's version of Chinatown, an artist hanging on in a zone of shoppers and tourists, and a drum maker who still creates them by hand. Taken together, they offer a twist on New York's famous promise of reinvention. Theirs are stories of staying put.
"I call it the die-hard effect," said Joseph J. Salvo, the director of the population division of the Department of City Planning. "There are people who will not leave. Irrespective of the change that is occurring, they regard that as their home."

Pat Robertson, gaffes, faith and spirituality: Personally, I think this is more than a gaffe.
To a minister like Robertson, marriage is empowered by the almighty himself as the holiest of institutions. It is the most unbreakable of bonds, well, except in one case. Calling Alzheimer's disease a "kind of death," in a Sept. 13 700 Club broadcast, Robertson advised a man whose wife is suffering from the incurable, degenerative disease to "divorce her and start all over again." Unsurprisingly, the clip has gone viral and, like the many Robertson gaffes before it, prompted condemnation from others in the faith-based community.

travel, photography: Some good advice …
Capture the photo not taken on your next vacation, and you're guaranteed to make a memory. Like a bottle of "Dandelion Wine," it is an image that encapsulates your escape in a single frame. It can become a point of pride on the wall, or an image you look to when a case of the Mondays threatens to overwhelm.
So often, the camera becomes an afterthought in the suitcase. Think of it as a traveling companion, one to share every second of your adventure with. From the most exotic location to your favorite escape in the next town over, the world is full of photographic potential. And I promise you, "every, every inch" of it has not been photographed.
LOL, old jokes, kith/kin: Some jokes you just never give up …

Can you believe that there's just exactly a week to Christmas? I couldn't either, which is why I decided it was time for me to pull up my socks and make sure I had finished all the shopping I needed to before next weekend – There were last minute gifts to be bought, I needed outfits for holiday dinner parties, get pajamas for Christmas eve 😀 (Which were out of stock by the way!) and basically go galavanting around stores before they got too crowded . I decided it would be a great idea to document this as a post for Blogmas because, who doesn't like shopping? 🙂
Here are a few images from the trip. Let me know if you'd like to see more of such posts on the blog 🙂
Happy Sunday ❤

An open exhibition for members at the Imperial Buildings.
16 members participated.
The exhibition worked well as a platform for our members and also as an attempt to raise the profile of Imperial Buildings as a place to visit.
It was a challenge to find a way in which the atrium space could be used as an exhibition space but the creative use of pop up display columns, devised and created by Liam Stewart was really good.
We hope to repeat the members exhibition in 2013 where we envisage all members presenting work in their varied styles which is an exciting prospect.

I spoke to a group of professional legal assistants today about social media marketing. I deliver presentations and workshops on this topic to lawyers a lot.
This was my first time presenting to a legal support staff audience about all things social. And it got me thinking about one of the core elements of any solid social marketing plan: the responsible party. The RP is the person(s) who carry out the social marketing plan.
Today's epiphany: support staff members are ideal candidates for the RP role. Specifically?
Give blog posts and other content intended for consumption via social media (including website content) to legal assistants and paralegals to review for you. Why? Because your content should convey information in clear-to-understand, non-legalese language that is interesting (and not boring). Your support staff is ideally situated to give you feedback on whether this goal is being achieved, for at least a couple of reasons.
First, they likely have some general knowledge about the content so know what you're likely trying to convey — and thus can identify if you're missing the mark. As well, they're not lawyers. To put it bluntly, they're probably more capable of placing themselves in the shoes of your intended audience and assessing the content from that perspective.
[This is a gross overgeneralization, but many, many lawyers, having been trained as we are trained, do a very poor job of creating content intended for an audience that isn't other lawyers or judges.]
Assign the posting to a support staff member. Productive social media marketing requires a diligent and consistent presence. Most lawyers I work with on marketing freak out about the perceived time commitment. So? Focus on creating content and give someone else the job of posting.
Train support staff to contribute to content creation. If someone in your office is a good writer and you've established a clear social media game plan, then let him or her handle the Facebook posts. Tackle Twitter. Research blog post topics and start filling out the editorial calendar. Draft post outlines. Review the posts after you've written them for readability and likability. Note that I'm not suggesting that you have a paralegal write a post and publish it as your work. For obvious reasons, this is a bad idea.
Finally, an organized process is crucial if you're delegating any aspect of social media activities. Use a cloud collaboration app like Trello, Tracky or Flow to manage your social media marketing process. This keeps the various responsible parties coordinated and on-task.
Someone on your staff may just be the ideal responsible party for carrying out your social media marketing plan.

Localized fat deposits, especially in women, are a cause of discomfort and anguish, leading patients to undergo surgical procedures such as liposuction and dermo lipectomy to improve the cosmetic aspect. Fearful of extensive surgery and its complications, patients and physicians seek less invasive methods that offer good results. Additionally liposuction does not treat cellulite. In fact liposuction often causes existing cellulite to appear more prominent. Mesotherapy treats cellulite directly, promoting smoother skin and reducing fat in selected areas. Fat deposits are flushed from the body which is why drinking lots of water after treatment is recommended. Muscle strengthening exercises to tone the injected area and massages are recommended after treatment to achieve optimal results.
Lipolytic mesotherapy has emerged as a safe and effective alternative method to achieve the reduction of small localized fat deposits on the face and body. Our customized formula prevents cells from storing fat and helps break down existing fat cells. Spot reduction targets double chins, love handles and any other areas displaying fat pockets.
Visible improvement in slimming fatty tissue
Refines texture effectively and slims your face and body with a fat burning effects
Strengthens skin elasticity by increasing collagen and elastin
Recommended Treatment
One treatment per week for first month
Two treatments a month for two months
Once a month for maintenance
Results will vary depending on patient being treated. Best results are seen when combined with Body contourng RF technology. On average, patients notice visible improvement in two to three sessions. The results do last, as long as the maintenance procedures are performed regularly in combination with a healthy lifestyle

Tommy Richardson and his 1983 BMW 320i
Atlantic Autowerks,
I found it hard to believe when you told me that I had been bringing my car to you all since 1993...time sure flies. It's not often that you find such a friendly, professional operation as yours and when you do you stick with it. It's always a pleasure for me to let my 1983 320i come and visit you all on occasion.

|It was a night of total darkness without electricity the generator set has failed again. And it was time to leave Pulau Banding with an awful night by the lake. I waited for my taxi by the main road for the journey ahead.
|I requested for a stop at Perhentian Titiwangsa to enjoy the view and took a few pictures before I left the peak of Titiwangsa. Pulau Banding and this place is about 30km away.
|At the top of the world at Perhentian Titiwangsa, I just cannot imagine if I were to cycle up here and I was glad that I hired a taxi for this stretch. The scenery was superb.
|Even going down hill looks dangerous I requested Shoib to take me further down the hill (about 36km) until Batu Melintung 15km before Jeli.
|Before Shoib went back to Gerik we took our breakfast at a warong where we stopped.
|By the way I was already in the state of Kelantan and I had to change my plan. My original plan was to stay over at Jeli but I decided to proceed further as I have taken a fair bit of assisted ride.
|Gunung Reng is such a beautiful hill and this is seen from the main road itself, as scenic as those mountains seen in China. There is a cave to be explored if you are interested and it is located at Kampong Gunung.
|Gosh I was still having such closeness with the oil tankers.
|Jeli here I was but wouldn't be staying here anymore. I was recommended by the food operator at Chalet Terapung to stay at Bukit Bunga. Bukit Bunga is located next to Thailand and it is a more happening place.
|When I reached Bukit Bunga I decided to move on further as it was still early and Tanah Merah became as my final destination for the day.
|I met this guy from Estonia and he walks around the world. He told he was walking to Machang while I was cycling to Tanah Merah. My salute to this Estonian.
|Batang Merbau, a small town just before Tanah Merah.
|Tanah Merah or "Red Land" has a small population of Chinese community and I love seeing the old wooden shops in the town and hope that these wooden structure will be preserved and kept as long as possible.
|An old semi detached room at DMawar Resort was my rest place for the night.
|I was excited to find this restaurant that serves western food and beer. I always have the impression that beer cannot be sold in the public in Kelantan. The dinner was good and satisfactory.
|Day 16 where I cycled for 65km and stayed over at Tanah Merah.

Swing Tags made from seeded paper - 55mm x 100mm with hole for string. The handmade seed paper is embedded with flower seeds.
Seed options are
Forget-Me-Not - small plants with charming blue flowers with yellow centres
Swan River Daisy (Brachyscome iberidifolia) - a small native plant which produces a stunning array of beautiful purple, white, blue or pink flowers

The seeds can be seen as small flecks in the surface of the paper, giving additional interest and texture. Each sheet of our plantable paper is embedded with a multitude of seeds. Many are within the thickness of the paper whilst others are near the surface and clearly visible. The surface texture and appearance will vary according to the type of seeds in the paper and each sheet will have the seeds randomly distributed... creating a fascinating uniqueness for every sheet.
