Seriously, I HAVE to give this business at least 1 star? Ridiculous.
I would give it no stars. Never would I ever come back to this Firestone. The name "complete auto care" is a joke within itself. Dishonest, unprofessional, and horrible customer service!
Here is a timeline of the events. - DAY 1 I arrived late on a Sunday and asked the attendant how long an oil change would take. He said he wouldn't be able to take any more cars in as they were closing in an hour. I completely understood.
So, he made an appointment for me the following day later in the afternoon. - DAY 2 I arrived 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment after work. I requested that they also examine and find the root of the "rattling" noise coming from the hood. It took them 1 hour just to finish a standard oil change.
Then, he recommends that the alternator/generator OR the water pump needed to be replaced to resolve the rattling sounds, but they will know for sure once the "expert tech" listens to it carefully. I said okay, just give me an estimate of the costs. They literally tell me the alternator is the issue, so they go ahead and replace it. BUT, the sound is still coming!
I had to diagnose the issue myself by researching it on YouTube. The problem was rooted in the water pump not the alternator. These so-called mechanics need more expertise and training. I work in an energy/services industry, and our techs are trained in a long duration program to make sure they are skilled in every aspect.
These Firestone mechanics don't know what they are talking about. I HAD to use my research and diagnose this car issue. He agreed that I was right, and that the water pump replacement would come in the next day. I was there for 3 hours just to add.
-DAY 3 I really didn't want to come here AGAIN, third day in row. Since Dominique was off that day, but Paul the tech was, she consulted with him as to what happened the day before. The so called mechanic, Paul, examined the car for a full hour and COULD NOT pinpoint the root of the solution. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
She tells me there is no solution and NOW the compressor was the issue and the next steps would be a dealership and would cost me around $1800!!!
Conflicting answers from each person!!! I will be calling the HQ and filing complaints, and I will give you a poor rating on every single ratings/reviews network.
Product or Service Mentioned: Firestone Complete Auto Care Car Repair Estimate.
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

If you were sick in overseas?
In our school, the doctor comes once a week.
I was given some medicines for diarrhea, stomachache, canker sore.
1.antibiotics CIPRFLOXACIN
2.gastric acid secretion inhibitors ESOMEPRAZOLE MAGNESIUM
3.antidiarrheal LOPERAMIDE
4.drug for canker sore ANTHRAQUINONE GLYCOSIDES SALICYC ACUD
5.vitamin MULTIVITAMINS
I have a license of pharmacist (but i've alredey forgot almost)
in japan, TRIAMCINOLON is generally used for canker sore.
(for example Kenalog)
It's one of the steroid.
I know steroid is effective in inflammention of course.
but, ANTRAQUINONE???
what's effective in?
Beside, when I asked about cankor sore in pharmacy,
she gave me MYCONAZOLE.
It's antifungal drug.
The cause of canker sore are 5 types.
These are stress, virus, stimulus, allergy, nicotine.
I think my canker sore is caused by stress (and lack of vitamineB)
I'm trying the medicine.
But I can't get rid of the painful for one weeks...
And troche for sore thorat which I was given is NSAID.
My tonghe is numbed, when I lick it.

THIEF TaFa$ Tahf-Phey-Samekh
ROOTS: The AHD has no Indo-European "root" for catching the common THIEF.
Webster's offers Anglo-Saxon thefe, the bramble. Edenics would be too embarrassed to offer such a stretch, but one guesses that thorns might "catch" one's clothes.
The older and more logical source is תפש TaFaS, to seize – Deuteronomy 4:17 or
22:28. It is also in Jewish Aramaic. In Proverbs 30:9 it is specifically rendered "steal."
חטף [K]HaDTahF is to snatch (Judges 21:21), spelledחתף [K]HaTahF in Job 9:12. Amharic (Semitic, Ethiopia) has qatafi to mean "cheater." (Any similarity to a Libyan dictator may be purely coincidental.)
תפס TaFa$ is the modern spelling of תפש TaFaS. אסף A$ahF is to collect or gather .
ת-פ Tahf-Phey is the "grabbing hold" sub-root of תפר TaPHahR, to sew together. The second sub-root is Phey-Resh, פרורים PeROORiM or crumbs, pieces, (see "FRIABLE"), or, reversing פ-ר P-R, the shards that have been טרף DTaRaF (torn or ripped apart) – see "TROPHY." תפר TaPHahR, to stitch or sew together, then, is the grabbing hold of that which has been torn or
FRAYED. See "FRIABLE."
BRANCHES: Tet–Bet is largely evident among Germanic THIEVES: German dieb, Dutch dief, Danish and Norwegian tyv and Swedish tjuyv.
Latvian dabuo and tap, to take, hold, seize, has been linked to Sumerian dab and dib, to hold, taske, seize.
The Hungarian tolvaj and the Japanese nusubito (reversing תפש TaFaS) may also be caught in a lineup of suspects. Also reversing תפש Tahf-Phey-Sin is tsivot, number five for the Hopi Indians near Utah. As seen elsewhere, Edenic "hand" words provide natural terms for the number five.
Only a dental shift away is Polish dopasc, to reach, catch or overtake. Greek klepto (as in KLEPTOMANIAC) and Modern Greek klef'tis have a dental-bilabial, but are closer to a more violent snatching, טרף DTeReF – see "TROPHY." Also see "KNAVE."------------

Comments about Charles Lamb
what is message of this poem
In a stage-coach, where late I chanced to be,
A little quiet girl my notice caught;
I saw she looked at nothing by the way,
Her mind seemed busy on some childish thought.
I with an old man's courtesy addressed
The child, and called her pretty dark-eyed maid,
And bid her turn those pretty eyes and see
The wide extended prospect. 'Sir,' she said,
'I cannot see the prospect, I am blind.'
Never did tongue of child utter a sound
So mournful, as her words fell on my ear.
Her mother then related how she found
Her child was sightless. On a ...
As When A Child...
As when a child on some long winter's night
Affrighted clinging to its Grandam's knees
With eager wond'ring and perturbed delight
Listens strange tales of fearful dark decrees
Muttered to wretch by necromantic spell;
Or of those hags, who at the witching time
Of murky midnight ride the air sublime,
And mingle foul embrace with fiends of Hell:
Cold Horror drinks its blood! Anon the tear

Group Policy prevents installation of USB device - way to override?
I have a PC on the Active Directory, the LAN card of this PC has gone bad, and so it cannot connect to the network. I am trying to use a USB to ethernet adapter to connect PC back to the network, but the device installation is prevented by group policy (though PC is not on the network).
Is there a way to override the group policy with PC off the network so that the adapter can install?
Thank you.

The search continues today for a suspect in a fatal shooting late Wednesday night in Polk County, which resulted in the death of a man in his 20s.
Sheriff Steve Ross reports that a call came into the 911 Center just before midnight Wednesday from a man who said he and his friend had both been shot in a home located at 9384 U.S. Highway 411 , in Delano
The caller said his friend had been shot in the head. Both men in their 20s were airlifted to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, where one was pronounced dead.
The two men were reportedly visiting a third man at the home, when another uninvited person arrived. An apparent argument led to the shooting.
The caller said the shooter had broken into the home.
Responding to the incident, Ross said, "A situation like this is never comforting. We've got two families that are now destroyed. Despite who the suspect is, the family is destroyed. It's a no-win situation, and it's tough."
Ross and his criminal investigation team continue to look into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The wounded man, as well as the third person at the home, were being questioned by Ross' investigative team.
As of press time Friday, the names of the two shooting victims continued to be withheld.

A semi-sweet coffee-esqe flavor. This is an excellent all around flavor, which offers a little something for everyone. This is the e-liquid for people who like a little coffee with their cream and sugar.

This is the first coffee flavored vape I actually like. Running it in a RDA is vaper-heaven and it is nearly as good in a Protank.
It has a strong coffee flavor that is a great after meal vape.

Jimmies fall short of national tournament
It would be easy to feel disappointed with the way the women's soccer season ended for University of Jamestown.
The 22nd-ranked Jimmies found out Monday they won't be one of 31 teams playing in the NAIA women's soccer national championship tournament in Orange Beach, Ala., later this month. A team that won a program-best 14 matches and was ranked inside the NAIA's top 25 for the first time in school history fell just short of its season-long goal.
Jamestown needed to be one of six at-large selections.
"We were probably the next team on the cusp (of qualifying)," said Jamestown coach Nick Becker, who in six seasons is Jamestown's winningest women's soccer coach (59-48-8). "They look at the top 25 teams and also take into account Modified RPI (Modified Ratings Percentage Index). We were probably the 32nd or 33rd team overall."
But really, the 2017 season was just another rung in the ladder for a program that's been on the rise under Becker. The team reached a conference championship match for a second consecutive season and also finished with double-digit wins for the second time ever.
Becker's squad rolled to 12 victories last fall and lost to Bellevue in the title game of the North Star Athletic Association conference tournament. The Jimmies fell to 20th-ranked Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I) tournament host Georgia Gwinnett 3-1 in the A.I.I title match Saturday in Lawrenceville, Ga.
The Jimmies, heartbreakingly, were playing without senior attacking midfield star Connie Contreras (32 career goals), after she dislocated her shoulder in Friday's 2-0 semifinal win over Bellevue in Lawrenceville. Junior goalkeeper Lauren Sayler also injured her knee in Saturday's title tilt.
A win in the championship would have automatically qualified the Jimmies for nationals. The tournament includes 24 automatic bids based on conference tournament results and the host team, to go along with the six at-large teams.
"After we lost in the final, we knew our chances were a little slim but we told the girls we were proud of them," Becker said. "It's a step in the right direction. This should motivate the team next year to keep moving forward."

Second team: Kristin Breaux, Fresh., forward; Dianne Miranda, Jr., defender; Lauren Sayler, Jr., goalkeeper.

The connections made from sharing stories can help to bridge cultural differences. Sharing our stories brings us closer to one another. As songwriter, Harry Chapin, once wrote, "It's funny when you get this close, it's kind of hard to hate."
Folks who know me well recognize that I am intrigued by Asian cultures. There are several reasons for this, yet a primary one is that their perspectives are so different from my own. By studying them, I am allowed to see my life in a different way.
This has caused some relationship problems, especially with acquaintances that have a bias against specific Asian cultures. I vividly recall one time when I was taken to task by a gentleman who had military experience in Vietnam. His father had served in Korea. To him, wanting to learn more about these cultures was…well, un-American.
One day, he invited me to lunch. This was something of an amazing experience in itself. Although we spoke in passing, we had never had lunch together.
It turns out that he had read a newspaper article about a family tragedy in Laos. Outside of a small village was a still active minefield, a remnant of decades earlier. Clearing it was determined to be too dangerous with the technology that the village had available, so they roped it off. No one ever went near it.
Until this one day.
While no attention was being paid, two young children belonging to one family went exploring in the field. The explosion that alerted the village killed the boy immediately. His sister was not as fortunate. She was conscious, severely wounded, and shrieking in pain.
Her parents ran to the field and tried to get to her, but the other villagers held them back. It was far too dangerous to allow them to go in.
So, for almost four hours, everyone listened to the child's weakening cries until she finally succumbed to her injuries.
I had read that story, too, with tears welling in my eyes. I remember thinking that if I ever needed a definition of the term "Hell on Earth," I had just found it. I could not imagine being one of those parents. The emotional blow was too staggering.
Anyhow, after my lunch companion learned that I was aware of the article, he began to tell me something of his background. I'm not sure why he saw me as the source who should hear this, but I was honored that he did. In addition to his stories about unimaginable scenes he'd witnessed during his foreign tour of duty, he also recounted what his father had passed on to him. These tales both defined and reinforced his feeling of cultural superiority.
But, he had not been prepared for the minefield story. This wasn't a case of "they deserved what they got." This was a parent and former soldier reacting in horror to what he had read. While he was reading, there was no "us vs. them." This shouldn't have happened.
He kept saying over and over, "Why didn't somebody do something about that minefield? The technology is out there."
I couldn't answer. I don't know enough about what is involved.
That was all. I can't report that we became fast friends. We didn't. And he never spoke to me about either the article or our lunch together again.
But, I did learn that some years later, he had joined an Australian group called The MiVAC Trust…Mines, Victims and Clearance. (If you are interested in learning more, their website can be found at http://www.mivac.org/.) The story of the tragedy changed his life and his perception of a people.
It's not easy understanding the intricacies of other cultures. Their traditions often elude us. Yet, there are basic human responses that resonate. There are emotions we all recognize, and the stories give us an entry into those emotions. For a moment, we can be "One."
As we prepare for a New Year, I ask that you take a little time and connect with a personal story from a representative of a culture that you don't know. Is there a kinship there?Thank you for reading.

Michalia Swanson wins second Congressional art award
JANESVILLE — During an awards ceremony at the Olde Towne Mall in Janesville on April 12, First District Congressman Paul Ryan announced that the winner of this year's First District Congressional Art Competition is Michalia Swanson. A junior at Racine Lutheran High School, she is an unprecedented second-time winner of this competition.
Swanson submitted a pencil drawing titled "Our Nation's Future," which depicts the faces of young Americans against a backdrop of the United States. Her art teacher at Racine Lutheran High School is Debra DeKeuster.
In announcing the results of the annual competition, Congressman Ryan said, "We've been holding this contest for 16 years, and we've never had a repeat winner until now. Michalia truly is a gifted artist, and millions of people will get to see her work in the U.S. Capitol this year."
Last year, Swanson submitted a portrait titled "Hero in My Eyes," which depicted her uncle, Benjamin, standing in front of an American flag, as a way of honoring his service to our country during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Swanson provided this motivation for drawing "Our Nation's Future:" This piece represents the future of our country because our nation's future rests in the hands of every child growing up in America. Many adults today are concerned for the quality of the younger generation, but when I look around at my friends, sisters and little cousins, I see unlimited potential. I see their kindness, honesty, perseverance, strong work ethic and the ability to lead our country in the direction our forefathers created it to be. I chose to draw three children of different ethnicities to represent the many different races and cultures that make up America. I chose to include myself as a child (at left) because I am proud to be a part of my nation's future.
Swanson and a family member will fly to Washington, D.C., for a June 26 ribbon-cutting ceremony. Her artwork will be on display in the U.S. Capitol for one year. Swanson has also been awarded a second $12,000 scholarship at the prestigious Savannah School of Art and Design.
DeKeuster notes, "Michalia is extremely focused on her art and sets very high standards for herself. Her dedication, patience, talent and huge investment of time to achieve beautiful and outstanding results are clearly displayed in her art. She understands what it takes to create a masterpiece. I cannot believe how humble and modest she is about receiving this award for the second time!"
Racine Lutheran High School principal and executive director David Burgess adds, "The staff at Racine Lutheran is incredibly proud of Michalia and all our students who grow to achieve their highest potential in the Fine Arts program as well as the classroom."

Susan Boyle has checked herself out of the Priory, according to her brother.
The 48-year-old had entered the North London clinic five days ago after feeling physically and mentally exhausted following the final of Britain's Got Talent.
Speaking on GMTV, the singer's sibling Gerry confirmed that she had left the facility and was feeling "much happier" and "a lot more like herself".
"Things are becoming clearer for her now. She's now beginning to believe that, 'Yes indeed, I will be a singer,'" he explained.
Recent reports had suggested that Boyle may have needed to remain in the facility for weeks, after a clinic doctor claimed that a short-term stay was "a failed admission because either it was unnecessary in the first place or the job hasn't been done fully".
Her brother went on to insist that his sister still intends to pursue a career in singing and admitted that he is confident that judge Simon Cowell is the right person to guide her.
"He's been around the dancefloor a few times," he said. "I'm sure he will do a good job for her."
Boyle is now thought to be staying at a central London flat.

Wednesday Art: Character Model Sheet
on July 11, 2012 at 3:39 pm
Posted In: art
I've been working on the poster art for Deathwatch for the past week, and I'd hoped it would be finished in time for Wednesday Art, but alas, it was not meant to be. Soooo close, though. Maybe in a day or two.
Instead, here's a character model sheet I drew in preparation for "The Mile-High Cup," my upcoming webcomic! Her name is Bunny (named after Raffles and Bunny of "Amateur Cracksman" fame). She's a nerd, a witch, and an introvert.
"The Mile-High Cup" is about a group of people working in a coffee shop in an airport, and the strange things that happen there. There will be antics. And oh, they will be wacky. I'll be using the Rogue Blog starting this August to host it, until we can afford my own page for it.
Are you excited? I'm excited.

NEC is moreover the sole vendor offering full compatibility with Avaya Aura High Availability options.
NEC IP DECT offers a full range of attractively priced handsets with simple plug and play deployment thanks to programmable micro SD-cards and over-the-air provisioning of firmware.

Attractive migration for Avaya and Nortel customers
With this certification NEC IP DECT offers interesting migration scenarios for existing CS1000 customers. Avaya/Nortel CS1000 IP DECT can now be upgraded to allow for a mix of existing APs and handsets and new NEC AP400 AP's and new NEC handsets. The upgraded systems are compatible with both the installed Avaya systems as well as prepared for a future swap to a new communication server (Avaya Aura, IP Office or NEC server). Nortel CS1000 DECT customers can take advantage of this perfect migration revitalizing their solution while protecting previous investments.
With NEC IP DECT being fully certified for seamless integration with Avaya communication servers under the Avaya DevConnect program, users don't have to worry about rewiring or further network costs.

Paris, for the 10th time was Perfect!. This is not so much a review of Paris, but a Warning about the hotel we stayed at. Hotel Little Regina:89 Boulevard De Strasbourg, 10th arr., 75010 Paris, France –. Site picture is NOT what you get. It is a Bait-and-Switch. You think you are getting one room, BUT, Nooooooo.If you want to feel like you are in a terrorist prison cell, then this is the place for you. It was sooooo tiny. They stuck in a second bed adjacent to the window, so access to the closet and shelves could only be gained by climbing up on the bed.The WC was at another end of the unit, so to get to it, you would have to negotiate around a night stand, then a corner, IN THE DARK!(I had to buy a flashlight for my Mother so she wouldn't stub her toes in the night).The oscillating fan could only be used from the corner, so no fresh air,no AC.In the double-bed, since my husband slept in the "Aisle" spot, I was up against the wall. Nice on a hot August night with the fan blowing hot air on you because you can't open the window because the person sleeping next to it will be kept awake by the street noise traffic.Even the Wi-Fi didn't work, had to go to the lobby to use when doing pre-checkin for airport.Charged for an extra day of VAT even though we left early.The best part of the Hotel Little Regina was leaving. So if you want a really small squashed rat-hole, with a maze-like configuration, this this is the place for you. TIP: Check out the online sites. There are sooooo many other places around there that they will treat you nice, value you business, give you a little respect, and, not as expensive. 10th time in Paris, worst hotel Ever! Stay Away from this place.
Very easy train from Amsterdam to Paris. Used UBER and Metro but did hire Taxi from Train Station to hotel and discovered we were way overcharged. Dinner at La Citrouille at 10, rue Gregoire de Tours was so excellent we returned the next night. Chateaubriand with bearnaise, onion soup and escargot are memorable! Kir au vin blanc (wine with Cassis) delightful. Staying at Saint Germain/6th Arrond. is ideal ... Hotel d'Aubusson is marvelous accommodation with beautiful decor, very pleasant/helpful personnel, most comfortable room with state of the art appointments - highly recommended. Safe, Easy walking in evening to lively Saint Germain nightlife.
This was my 3rd trip to Paris, and the best one, largely because the 1st arr. where we stayed was a much better area and there was so much to do/walk around/see, including many dining options. My friend and I were only there barely 24 hours, and it was not difficult to make the most of our time. I really enjoyed my first experience eating at Le Souffle, never had eaten souffles made like this before. My friend and I enjoy most of the shops along Rue St Honore, and while metro stations are a bit of a walk, getting to other areas is still manageable. The restaurant Giaio Mia is a longtime favorite and the third time dining there for dinner did not disappoint, highly recommended (as are reservations). Hotel de Vendome is a bit pricey but worth it, especially if you can get a deal on an upgraded room -- very charming boutique hotel and amenities with wonderful staff.
I stayed in two hotels in Paris, both on the Left Bank. If my trip hadn't been broken up with other locations outside of Paris I might have rented an apartment which I have done in the past. I lived on Rue Vaneau in 1964-65. A lot has changed. The location of the Hotel Vaneau was great, the mattress was great, the bathroom was lovely and the front desk was nice and helpful. I took the bus for the first time which is really fun. The metro doesn't teach one the streets so it was fun to take the bus #39( I think) right over to the Louvre-----and watch everyone---all of the time----the children, the dogs, etc. Paris is always great even if the weather isn't . And, Bon Marche is so close along with the Grande Epicerie. Restaurant Petit Lutece straight across on Rue de Sevres. I did love the Left Bank Hotel on Rue de L'Ancienne Comedie. What a location!! Charming rooms, helpful people at the desk. Two minutes from Eric Kayser, the boulangerie----pain du chocolate. Yum. Yum about everything in Paris. Been home a week and am ready to go back.
Paris is nice, especially when it is your first time to visit the country. The iconic tower was magnificent. I like the food, museums, and the structures. I enjoyed a lot in Disneyland and the hotel that we stayed near Disneyland (B&B Disneyland Hotel). However there are things that I didn't like which are: I don't feel that it is safe especially during night. Pickpockets are a lot so you have to be careful always with your belongings. There are beggars along the street and no have place to stay. Their trains are not clean.
I love Paris except my hotel room ... Avalon Hotel. I was disappointed in this hotel for the price I paid for. Don't believe the pictures they have shown on this hotel site because it is a fraud. Not a happy customer here.
6.2 Review score 2,310 reviews
Location. The hotel itself is not that good but the neighborhood it's in make up for the bad things. It's close to Gare de Lyon and there are several bus stops around the hotel so going around the city is easy. There are two small groceries nearby (Carrefour and Monoprix) so you get easy access to cheap food stuff and other essentials. It's close to two good bakeries. We got the privilege to food shop in a bi-weekly neighborhood market just one street away from the hotel and got a taste of authentic Parisian food.
8.2 Very Good 711 reviews
Friendly and helpfull staff, good location close to the metro and walking distanse to the bastille (apr 30 minutes) many nice restaurants close by. A bit small but quite ok room for the price. Breakfast optional. Got a room away from the street which Was very quiet. A good and cheaper option if you know Paris a bit from earlier, don't plan to spend more time in the hotel than to sleep and don't want to stay in the middle of the more busy and touristy areas.

Close to the major sights. Close to the metro, allowing access to the city without limits. Being a New Yorker its important to have free reign to the city and the property location allows for that. The staff was attentive and sensitive to my needs as I had to extend stay for one night because of the Air France strike. Elisabeth and Christine are angels! The bath room and room were immaculate . My trip with my mother to Paris was fabulous!

The position is just perfect despite the fact that it's not in the city centre - it takes 20 mins to reach Hotel de Ville. The structure is quite old (which make it real parisien!) but everything is clean and working. The staff is very nice. Restos and bars just downstairs and around the hotel. Price is very honest comparing to most structures in Paris. Very nice stay!

This hotel is only a short distance from the Metro and the train to CDG. They are high tech, welcoming, friendly, helpful. They ask ahead what you need and try to anticipate. This was our second stay at this hotel and though a brief transit stop on our way elsewhere in France, it was very easy and comfortable. I will never stay anywhere else in Paris.

We splurged a bit on our last night in France and stayed in this very nicely appointed hotel with friendly staff who also speak English (my husband doesn't speak French). The room was very comfortable (with adjustable AC) and had a beautiful view of Notre Dame and the Seine. The location makes it a perfect base for exploring Paris.
8.3 Very Good 761 reviews
The hotel is located in a very nice area. Full of expensive shops if you like shopping. Staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean. Will definitely stay at this hotel the next time I am back in Paris. Nice restaurants to eat around the hotel. Paris is not cheap to eat or drink. But had a lovely time.

Really close to metro, right outside city center of Paris (you can walk to city center but taking metro is easier & cheap, €1.90 for one way ticket). Tons of restaurants and stores around the hotel but they close around 11:00 so get your late night food/snack before then.

User summary:
The game requires the use of a (simple) custom deck; the deck is not provided in the game document, but it would be trivial to create. At the start of the game, players draw a random card to determine their character's status (Infected or Clean) which does not vary during play. A series of discussions and votes are taken to schedule individual characters for medical examination. The infected "team" wins after a certain number of rounds; the clean "team" wins if all infected characters are examined.

Sorry but this guy would not even make the bench on this current TFC team , there is a reason he played on one of the worst TFC teams ever and one of the worst defense in league history. He went to the NY Redbulls where he was awful and was eventually realeased and no MLS team picked him up. He went back to England where he could not cut it with a league 1 team and eventually retired and the old age of 28. I'm sure he is a great guy, always hard working, but you also need talent and a soccer brain to become a good player, just being a hard worker is not enough to make it as a good player, he was part of the futile TFC past who like I said would struggle to make it on the bench on our TFC team of today.

When changing a sheave size, or increasing the setting on a variable
pitch sheave, be careful not to overload the motor. With reasonable accur-
acy, you can substitute "motor amps" in the above equation to replace horse-
Example: A motor with a 9.0-amp nameplate rating is using a 5-inch
sheave to drive a fan. The motor is slightly oversized, and the actual
amperage draw is 6.2 amps. If the motor sheave size is increased to
6 inches, will the motor be able to handle the increase.
Solution: The increase in fan rpm is the same proportion as the
increase in the motor sheave diameter, so
(rpm2/rpml) = 6.0/5.0 = 1.2
The new amperage draw on the motor will be:
= 6.2 x (l.2)3
= 10.7 amps
The increase in motor sheave diameter will require that the motor be
changed to a larger horsepower size, which provides at least 10.7 amps.
Table 2-4 is provided to simplify the process of figuring the rpm ratio
squared and cubed.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the age-dependent deposition of beta-amyloid within vulnerable regions of the brain, particularly the frontal cortex and hippocampus.
Beta-amyloid aggregates have a pathogenic effect, leading to progressive neuronal loss that causes deterioration of the ability of those brain regions to orchestrate both higher order and basic neural processes. As the deterioration worsens, the affected individual faces dementia and a worsening quality of life, and eventually the condition is fatal. Age is the greatest known risk factor for AD with an incidence of 30–50% in people 85 years or older. For a given individual, the time at which AD manifests is the consequence of an additional series of risk factors, some of which might be due to environmental causes, but many of which are attributable to that individual's genetic endowment.
Genetics of Alzheimer's Disease:
Some of the genes whose protein products affect AD risk have been identified. For example, certain variations (mutations) in the gene that encodes the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP), a cell membrane protein produced in all body tissues whose biochemical function is fake watches uk at present unknown, predispose individuals to early-onset AD. APP is a substrate for proteolysis by the endogenous proteases beta and gamma secretase, liberating beta-amyloid proteolytic fragments ranging from 37 to 43 amino acid residues. The 42-residue species is thought to be the most pathogenic, and forms aggregates, which, in addition to contributing to the plaques that deposit in the AD-affected brain, are thought to initiate processes that lead to cognitive deficits. AD-predisposing variations in APP cluster in the vicinity of the cleavage sites, affecting the rate at which pathogenic beta-amyloid fragments are generated, their stability, and their ability to form aggregates. Individuals inheriting such APP variations usually show signs of AD in their 50s, whereas sporadic AD is not common until individuals reach their 70s. Rare variations in two other genes, Presenilin 1 and Presenilin 2, also confer high risk to early-onset AD. These two genes encode independent proteins of similar structures that function as part of the gamma secretase protein complex. As a consequence of these genetic observations and considerable experimentation, the so-called "amyloid cascade" model that has emerged holds that biochemical events that increase the production and accumulation of beta-amyloid, particularly Aβ-42, accelerate the onset and progression of AD.
The Blood Brain "Barrier" and the implications of regulation of beta-amyloid in peripheral tissues:
The tacit assumption of the researchers in this field has been that local over-production of pathogenic beta-amyloid within the brain is the problem and that the likely solution would involve development of beta and gamma secretase inhibitors designed to penetrate the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) so as to uk replica watches reduce local generation of the beta amyloid. The BBB, which protects the mostly non-regenerating cells of the brain by isolating it, is normally impermeable to small polar molecules. Efforts to develop BBB-penetrating AD therapeutics have thus far been disappointing. Research at ModGene (Sutcliffe et al, J. Neurosci Res 89: 808, 2011) has now shown that cerebral levels of beta-amyloid are regulated by peripheral tissues. One implication of this discovery is that therapeutic penetration of the BBB is replica watches uk not only unnecessary, but best replica watches also that avoiding brain penetration might avert potential adverse side effects. This represents a fundamental change in concepts concerning AD pathogenesis and treatment.

I would like to welcome everyone to the John Deere Classic being played in sunny Silvis, Illinois. The Tour professionals will be playing TPC Deere Run this week, providing the players with an opportune test before the British Open next week. TPC Deere Run will give the players an opportunity to work on their short games, as it is only 7258 yards in length. The course plays as a par 72 and has a course record of 59 and it was shot in 2010 by Paul Goydos.
The course ranked as the 40th most difficult course out of the 51 played last year on the PGA Tour, so scoring will be excellent this week. Much of that scoring will come on the easy Par 5 2nd. Let's look a little closer to a hole that should provide quite a few eagles this week.
The Par 5 2nd Hole is a 561 yard downhill gem of a hole. This would most likely be played as a Par 4 if this were a major tournament, but for this week, they will let the players put up some red figures. To make a low number on it you will have to be accurate on your 2nd shot as a water hazard guards the green to the left, while trees and bunkers are to the right.
The field is comprised of almost only Americans and Australians this week, while most Europeans are taking the week off or playing in Europe. Only two players in the world Top 20 are in the field this week (Steve Stricker, Zach Johnson), while just 4 players in the Top 20 of the Fed Ex Cup will be playing.
We are going to get right down to it as we look to turn things around and juice up our accounts once again before next week's major.
The Picks for the John Deere Classic:
**Picks are sent to members only. Please sign up at www.GolfBanker.com**
Below I will give away one sneak peak pick that has been sent to members.
Kevin Chappell 100 TO 1 – We went with Chappell a few weeks ago and are right back with him this week. He finished T10 at the United States Open and last week managed a T17. I like that his game is becoming consistent, something young players strive for. Look for Chappell to take advantage of the Par 5's this week as he averages a birdie on almost every other one he plays (24th on Tour). He has a sneaky long ball flight that really gives him an advantage when he hits the fairways. Chappell is also extremely accurate when you put a wedge in his hand, and with a short course this should happen a lot.

About Jonathan Carr
Hello! My name is Jonathan Carr (aka JC), founder and lead forecaster of Weather NJ. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science from Stockton University and a master's degree in information systems. My primary career is in software development. I do not have a formal education in meteorology which I wear proudly on my sleeve. For that reason, instead of calling myself a meteorologist, I prefer "weather enthusiast" out of respect to the professionally-degreed and accredited meteorological community.
My entire atmospheric and meteorological knowledge-base is mostly self-taught but also under the wings of some great mentors. While far from 100% accuracy, I make sure that everyone leaves a verified or busted forecast with an educational understanding of what happened as well as a handshake and smile. I learn more and more every day from both success and failure and do eventually plan on acquiring a formal education in meteorology.
I grew up in the coastal Jersey area obsessing about New Jersey weather systems. My father taught me how to read wind patterns over water at a very young age. He was a sailing fanatic and I simply became fascinated with the physics of wind. I've weathered out many Jersey nor'easters, snow storms and even a few hurricanes in my lifetime. Every severe weather event further drives my obsession of finding out why it happened and figuring out what pre-existing conditions were present before such.
After demonstrating tremendous forecasting accuracy on my personal Facebook page in 2009, I created business pages on Facebook and Twitter—organically hatching Severe NJ Weather into the social media space. In the first two years of operation, my weather service begun its rise in popularity after delivering accurate predictions for the 2010-2011 blizzards, Hurricane Irene, the 2011 Halloween Snowstorm and the June 2012 Derecho (early meso warning)—resulting in exponential social media fan-base growth.
In 2012 (still operating then as Severe NJ Weather) I was part of a small team (including EPAWA) that predicted Hurricane Sandy's precise landfall 192 hours in advance. Immediately after Sandy, I focused on coaching families through the storm damage and helping the affected local citizens—quickly becoming the local go-to weather and disaster intelligence resource for emergency response teams across the state.
In June of 2013, my friends and I hosted a charity music festival titled Jersey Shorefest on Long Beach Island. The event supported the first responders who lost everything while saving the lives of others during Sandy. The event far surpassed all financial expectations—generating a $20,000 profit despite fighting the lower capacity of a Sandy-damaged Long Beach Island.
In July of 2013, NJ Advance Media/NJ.com data reporter and FiveThirtyEight contributor Stephen Stirling co-featured me in an article about social media growth.
Accurate forecasting during winter of 2013-2014 continued explosive fan-base growth, as Jeff Edelstein of the Trentonian highlighted in his January 2014 column. Prolonged polar vortex cold and winter storms lasted well into March of 2014. By the start of Spring 2014, Weather NJ (still operating as Severe NJ Weather) became one of the biggest-trending social media weather services in the Mid-Atlantic US region.
Via public vote, I won the 2014 Citizen Journalism award for my Winter 2013-2014 forecasting efforts—an award accepted from former NJ Governor James Florio and Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop. I then re-branded into Weather NJ in July of 2014.
In November of 2015, I was invited to the NASA Social OLYMPEX event which was an absolute honor and blast to attend. I had the unique opportunity to meet with NASA astronauts and weather personnel about the latest 3D sensors used to monitor Pacific Ocean-driven precipitation in the NW US—something that has tremendous impact downstream for the Mid-Atlantic US.
In February 2016, I spoke at the Long Beach Island Foundation's (LBIF) Science Saturday about the Jersey Shore micro-climate and historical severe weather events that have reshaped the Jersey Shore. The facility was packed on an extremely cold, Arctic front-induced, Long Beach Island mid-February day. I'm still not sure how that was possible but I'll take it. LBIF has had me back a few times since for Science Saturday since.
On August 13, 2016, my friends, family and I threw a fundraiser for Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences and all the wonderful local programs they offer the public. The dinner/live music party smashed expectations and generated a substantial profit. It was such a success that it was requested as a recurring annual event per the LBIF board of directors and all participating sponsors/event stakeholders. We repeated the event on August 5, 2017 with an even bigger success.
On September 14, 2016, I was invited to speak at the Tuckerton Seaport by the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve and Rutgers Marine Research Station. You might be familiar with their facility at the end of Great Bay Blvd (aka Seven Bridges Road) in Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey. The presentation covered Jersey shore meteorology 101 and historical storm systems that have impacted New Jersey going back to the 13th century. The event was sold out with a waiting list days before the event.
On September 15, 2016, I was invited to sit on a panel with National Weather Service personnel, professional meteorologists and several OEM authorities to talk about hurricane safety, preparation and public communication. The event was titled the Cape-Atlantic Severe Weather Conference and was attended by almost 500 people. It was an absolute honor to sit with the professionals in a public-facing spotlight. A HUGE thanks to Press of Atlantic City Meteorologist Dan Skeldon for both the invitation and putting such a successful conference together!
That leads us into one of my most distinct honors—being chosen to fill in for Meteorologist Dan Skeldon by the Press of Atlantic City from time to time—generating forecast graphics, forecast columns and video forecasts that push out to physical newspapers and the social media presences of the Press of Atlantic City. I enjoy the partnership/relationship with the Press and have become very good friends with Dan.
On October 11, 2017, I was invited to give a guest lecture at Stockton University to a coastal processes course. This was mind-blowing full-circle for me as a Stockton graduate. It was an absolute honor to stand on the other side of a classroom.
On November 11, 2017, I was invited to speak again at Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences. This time I took a deeper dive into the physics of meteorology for attendees and explained how to utilize their newly-launched weather station.
On June 7, 2018, the East Brunswick Public Library invited me to speak about the basics of meteorology and some of the historical storms that have hit New Jersey.
On July 14, 2018 my friends (including The MakeShift Union) and I will be throwing a dinner music party at The Union Market & Gallery with all event profits to David's Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation. We hope to see as many of you there as possible!
On August 15, 2018 I'll be speaking at Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts & Sciences summer camp about the basics of meteorology.
On August 29, 2018 I'll be speaking at the Ocean County Library (Lacey Branch) about the basics of meteorology and coastal weather influences/micro-climates.
Several more talks are scheduled for 2018. Feel free to reach out if that's something you'd be interested in.
Today, over a quarter-million people collectively follow Weather NJ (@myWeatherNJ) on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Followers include county and state OEM, Municipal EMS, school districts, the governor, state senators, state congressmen, professional news outlets, reporters and meteorologists, professional athletes and several movie/music celebrities.
Thanks for listening to my story. I look forward to more healthy and steady organic growth with many good times to come. As always, be safe! JC
