When I told a female patient who just transferred from another city to abstain from alcohol during pregnancy, she was surprised. She mentioned that, in the past, several doctors had told her it was all right to drink moderately. I am confused. Have I missed something?
No, you have not. Women should be advised to abstain from alcohol during pregnancy. There are insufficient data to suggest a safe threshold for fetal alcohol exposure.
Lorsque j'ai dit à l'une de mes nouvelles patientes enceintes, qui vient de déménager d'une autre ville, de s'abstenir de boire de l'alcool durant sa grossesse, elle s'est dite surprise. Elle m'a dit que, par le passé, quelques médecins lui avaient mentionné qu'il n'était pas dommageable de boire modérément. Je suis confus. Ai-je manqué quelque chose?
Non, vous n'avez rien manqué. Il faudrait conseiller aux femmes de s'abstenir de boire de l'alcool durant la grossesse. Les données sont insuffisantes pour déterminer un seuil qui soit sans danger d'exposer le foetus à l'alcool.
A safe threshold for maternal alcohol intake has not yet been established, and virtually all medical societies and expert groups addressing this issue strongly recommend abstaining from alcohol during pregnancy. It is, therefore, surprising that Canadian women and many family physicians still believe that women can continue to drink during pregnancy.
A Motherisk study of 99 nonâalcohol-dependent pregnant women in an obstetric ward found that 10 had a few drinks in the second trimester, and 15 had up to two drinks a week during the third trimester, long after they became aware of their pregnancies.3 One author (K.P.), a health worker in a northern Ontario community, has a sobering account of the advice given by family physicians. She polled eight women with children ranging in age from in utero to 7 years (and included her own experience): six were told by their doctors that drinking in moderation was all right. Moderation was not defined in any of these cases. Two reported that their doctors did not mention alcohol at all. Only one was told not to drink any alcohol at all, not even a little bit. It seemed clear that the pervasive attitude in the community and among community physicians was that drinking in moderation is still the accepted standard. One woman said, "I was told it was okay to have a few beers in one night provided I only did this once in a while." Another believed, "Anything is okay as long as itâs done in moderation."
Approving even light drinking is scientifically unfounded and, we believe, unwise from a medico-legal standpoint. About 1% of babies of mothers who drink are born with (mostly undiagnosed) neurobehavioural dysfunction; it will be very difficult for physicians to explain why they advised women that even light drinking was all right when this advice goes against recommendations by virtually all expert groups.

As many of you know, when we started Atlántico several years ago, our sole focus was on creating the best rum possible. For us, this meant countless trips to the Dominican Republic (tough job but someone had to do it, right?) working with our distiller and blender to develop the perfect recipe for our rums.
It has always been (and always will be) about the liquid in the bottle.
This attention to detail and craftsmanship is a labor of love and the #1 reason why Atlántico has been able to achieve its success thus far.
Only now, after the brand has established its reputation as a world class rum, do we feel like it is time for us to expand our horizons and set new goals for Atlántico. We are making it our mission to Change People's Perception of rum. For us this is our singular focus as we move forward and drives us to be the best company we can be. It dictates the suppliers we choose to work with, the role we play in the La Romana community of the DR, the companies we partner with, the people we hire and of course the product we make for you (there will be future blog posts touching on each of these in the near future). It also has led down the path of revisiting the brand's look.
Our New Look
We love rum but we also love the Caribbean. The people, food, culture and lifestyle are simply incredible. We wanted to find a way to capture the vibrancy and flavor of the Caribbean in our packaging while doing it in a classy way that is different than any other rum on the shelf. We found inspiration in the beautiful colonial tiles that can be found throughout the Caribbean and used that as the starting point for our redesign. We are really excited with the results and are so happy to share our new look with you! While this transition may seem minor in the grand scheme of things, we put a lot of time and effort into it as we see it as a small piece to helping Change People's Perception of rum.
Thank you so much for your continued support of Atlántico and Salud!
Brandon & Aleco

The Grip Weeds
Summer of a Thousand Years
(Rainbow Quartz)
The members of the Grip Weeds have proudly worn the badges of professionalism and perfectionism since the group's inception. Fortunately, they have the autonomy to utilize these traits, as they produce themselves and record at their home studio, the House of Vibes. When you combine all this with the immense amount of talent and drive they have (drummer Kurt Reil and guitarist Kristin Pinell are arguably the best in the business on their respective instruments, not to mention the greatest husband and wife team since anyone), it's no surprise that they continually produce topnotch material. the group's latest, Summer of a Thousand Years, is no exception, as the Grip Weeds take 60's influences like the Jefferson Airplane, Kaleidoscope and other American psychedelia bands and sprinkle it with some British touches. their thick, angular harmonies, along with Reil's decidedly Moon-esque drumming, give the music a strong, gutsy foundation. Songs like "Save My Life", "She Surrounds Me", "Don't Look Over Your Shoulder" and "Love's Lost on You" turn the knobs up to "high" on both the octane and melody gauges. Ballads like the romantic "Future Move" the recounting of emotions Reil experienced when he first met Pinell) and the dreamy "Window" will bring you gently to nirvana. The band throws a few tasty curves your way with a nice slice of hippie rock called "Changed" and an equally cool slice of raga rock called "Life and Love, times to Come", and Pinell's lone lead vocal on the Middle-Eastern influenced "Melancholia" will have you longing for more leads from her. Summer of a Thousand Years is one of the best albums you'll hear this year, from one of the most capable and dedicated bands you'll hear in your lifetime. -David Bash
The Grip Weeds discuss the songs from Summer of a Thousand Years.
Save My Life
Rick: This is a song about people who need help or guidance in desperate situations. Our answer is to look inside yourself. Kurt: Love those electric 12-strings! A "Rick" classic (both Rickenbacker and Rick Reil!).
She Surrounds Me
Kurt: The trademark Grip Weeds sound on this one: heavy but melodic with harmony vocals. Rick plays the guitar backwards through the magic of analog tape!
Rick: I like riff songs like "Paperback Writer" or "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and this song is an attempt at one of those. In some of the verses you can hear "gregorian chant" harmonies.
Rainy Day #3
Kurt: It's called #3 for good reason- besides being a slight nod to Dylan, we cut this one 3 times before we were satisfied. This is the folk-rock version, with acoustic guitars, harmonicas and 3-part harmonies; it was inspired by backing up the legendary Beau Brummels (along with Smithereens Jim Babjak and Dennis Diken) at a show in NYC last year.
Kristin: The upbeat summery feel we finally achieved was worth the struggle. Sometimes arrangements come easy, but sometimes you have to kick things around for awhile.
Don't Look Over Your Shoulder
Mike: This song was developed during the recording sessions for the album. Rick had a basic framework but we all just did our own thing. It's been said that it has a Led Zeppelin-esque feel to it. You be the judge!
Is it Showing
Kurt: We kind of had to grow into this song as a band- it took us years to get it right, but I think we finally nailed it here. It's a pretty good example of how we sound- Rick jangling on 12-string, Kristin ripping on lead guitar, Mike grooving on the lead bass lines, and me sort of train-wrecking my way through on drums! Four-part harmonies on this one top it all off...
Future Move
Kristin: Kurt wrote this one for me so when we had our rock & roll wedding last year, all the guests received a copy. We just had a couple from Australia email us and ask if they could play it at their wedding.
Kristin: I co-wrote this one with Kurt. A lot of the lyrics were "free written" in one of those late night reflective moments. We were going for melodic guitar textures in the style of "Ten Years Gone" or "Let It Grow". We were also listening to a lot of Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" during the recording sessions.
Love's Lost on You
Kurt: Menacing but melodic, about someone who just doesn't get what it's all about. I can think of a few jerks who fit this description, still at large...
Kristin: There's this dueling guitar solo with myself at the end of the first part that is like an inner battle of angst into absolute release and resolve. I also got to dust off the electric sitar on this one.
Life and Love, Times to Come
Kurt: This song is kind of a left-turn into uncharted sonic territory for the Grip Weeds. The song was written in open C tuning, and came out as an amalgamation of blues meets indian raga meets celtic music, but somehow retaining a pop sensibility, I think. Listen for the sitar, tablas, mandolin, flutes and mellotron. This is the "big production number"!
Love That Never Ends
Rick: A love song written to and about my wife, describing how we met and the profound change in my outlook as a result. It also shows how much we love "folk rock" in this band.
Mike: We all love the Who and why not pick an obscure song of theirs to do? We originally recorded this for the upcoming CD The New Sell Out: a tribute to the Who Sell Out. We were so pleased with the recording that we included it here. Kristin's vocal on this one is super cool with attitude.
Kristin: My favorite Who song and my state of mind at the time.
Moving Circle
Kurt: It's a song about the cyclic nature of all things- the ending is a beginning. Wurlitzer electric piano and Hammond organ by our friend and "fifth Grip Weed" Andy Burton, along with some amazing bass lines by Mike. A rare Grip Weeds shuffle-beat song.
Summer of a Thousand Years:
Kristin: A place in time-the whole millennium thing-reflecting on yourself in the grand scheme of things. It also seemed like a good title for the CD as .well...
Also, in the same issue:
Rave On...
Random Musings of a (Pop) Nut
by John M. Borack
Another fine effort is the latest by the Grip Weeds, Summer of a Thousand Years. Playing up the band's tight harmony singing and strong composing abilities- while still showcasing the peerless drumming of Kurt Reil and the psych-dipped guitar runs of Kristin Pinell- Summer shows how a band can mature without turning stale.

MUMBAI: At the Cartoon Network Upfront event held in New York, Cartoon Network announced its programming line-up for 2007. Following the launches of Class of 3000; Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends original movie, "Good Wilt Hunting;" and the network's first-ever live-action movie, Re-Animated, Cartoon Network has announced five new original series in 2007.

"Last year we saw tremendous growth by extending our brand into new areas of programming," said Cartoon Network senior vice president of development and creative direction Michael Ouweleen. "We had great success by always being 'on it' for kids in whatever environment they wanted to enjoy the Cartoon Network experience and we are looking forward to growing even more with this new slate of programs and special events."

Previously, the network announced CallToons, a mobile application technology that allowed characters to take over kids mobile phones.

1968 Other Oldsmobile Models V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 132k miles
Brake pedal required pumping to apply brakes. Replaced master cylinder. After replacing, brakes apply normally for a while then pedal travel decreases on application and brakes remain applied. Pedal hard, very little travel. Thought rebuilt master cylinder was defective. Replaced with another rebuilt unit. Same problem. Note: pedal travel has always been close to the floor when applied. However, condition now experienced is unlike any previously encountered. I'm at a loss. Suggestions on how to trouble shoot would be welcome.
have the same problem?

14.060 - Serious Incident Plan
Effective Date: 7/1/2009
Officer safety will be the priority when responding to a serious incident. Once the incident is made safe, the officers will attend to the injured, locate suspects and witnesses, secure the scene and preserve evidence. Some examples of serious incidents are homicides, sexual assaults, officer involved shootings, serious injuries where death may be likely, and kidnappings.
I. Primary Officer Responsibilities
A. The first officer on the scene of a serious incident will assume the role of the primary officer. The primary officer will take control of the scene and direct the activity until relieved by a sergeant.
1. The primary officer will request that a sergeant respond to the scene.
B. Officer safety is the first priority. The primary officer will direct responding officers, advising the safe access route, and a safe staging area.
C. Once the scene has been secured, the investigation of the incident can proceed.
D. Officers on the scene will administer first aid to injured persons and request medic units to respond when necessary.
1. Use universal precautions to minimize contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. See 3.045-Bloodborne Pathogens
2. If certain signs of death are present (e.g. rigor mortis, lividity, odor, etc.) do not touch or move the body.
E. Establish an inside and outside perimeter, around the scene with yellow crime scene tape, keeping all unauthorized persons out. Responding Detective Sergeants will deploy Red Crime Scene Tape around the inner perimeter of any major crime scene. The red tape will denote the area(s) where the most critical evidence is located.
1. The perimeter should be marked off with crime scene tape as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. The perimeter will be maintained until officers are released by a sergeant.
3. Limit access to only those involved in the investigation.
F. Maintain a detailed Crime Scene Log.
1. The responding Detective Sergeant will ensure that an on-scene officer is assigned to crime scene log duty and will provide the officer with blank log sheets. Once the red crime scene tape is in place and the "log officer" is assigned, anyone who enters the area cordoned off in red tape, regardless of rank, will have to sign in and sign out of the scene and may be responsible for providing a statement as to their business and activity in the scene. Officers who entered the scene prior to the application of red crime scene tape must complete a statement regarding their business and activity in the scene. The Crime Scene Log is not limited to SPD personnel; representatives of all agencies with a need to enter the scene must sign in and sign out. This includes the Seattle Fire Department, any ambulance attendant, the King County Medical Examiner's Office, the King County Prosecutor's Office, or any other agency. Once the crime scene investigation is complete and the scene is released, the "log officer" will submit the completed log forms to the on-scene Detective Sergeant or the CSI Sergeant. The Sergeant will deliver the completed log forms to the case detective(s). The crime scene log will become part of the case file and may be subject to defense discovery.
G. Detain suspect(s) and witnesses separately. Instruct witnesses not to talk to anyone about the incident. Obtain statements when possible.
H. Broadcast all available suspect information.
I. Preserve the crime scene and any evidence in its original location and condition unless it creates a hazard or risks becoming contaminated.
1. Note transient details, such as time of day, whether the lights were on or off, signs of activity, position of doors and windows, unusual odors, persons at the scene upon arrival and the position of an injured victim.
2. Do not touch or move an item of evidence unless it is necessary to protect it from being damaged or destroyed. Avoid touching, moving or stepping in areas sensitive to the scene. Use the same route in and out of the scene, avoiding a route a suspect might have used. Do not use any of the facilities at the scene (e.g., sinks, bathrooms, telephones, etc.). Document anything that is touched or moved. Utilize door locks, barricades, crime scene tape, other officers, and rope to secure the scene. Protect the entry and exit paths used by the criminal. Protect any evidence in danger of being destroyed by weather or other factors.
J. Guarding Injured or Deceased Persons
1. An officer will be assigned to stay with the person until relieved by a sergeant. This includes riding with the person to the hospital and staying with them once they arrive at the hospital.
a. Injured Person(s): The officer assigned to guard the victim/suspect should give their sergeant the condition of the injured person, as that information becomes available. Secure clothing from the victim or suspect at the hospital. List the names of the hospital staff who removed the clothing and anyone at the hospital that talked to the victim or suspect. In the case of sexual assault the clothing and evidence collected will be retained by the hospital.
b. Deceased Person(s): Do not remove the clothing of the deceased. Instruct the hospital attendants not to release the property of the deceased to anyone other than the Medical Examiner or police personnel.
II. Patrol Sergeant Responsibilities
A. A sergeant will respond to the scene and take command. The sergeant in command will:
1. Request a follow-up unit call out response;
2. Determine any additional personnel required and assign specific responsibilities to sergeants / officers on the scene;
3. Ensure Communications receives updated information;
4. Ensure the security of the scene;
5. Turn control of scene over to the follow-up investigators, upon their arrival;
6. Brief the Watch Lieutenant; and
7. Ensure the proper paperwork has been completed.
B. Once the follow-up detective(s) arrive and assume control of the scene, they have full command of the scene. Completion of the investigation is the responsibility of the follow-up unit.
III. Watch Lieutenant Responsibilities
A. Respond and assume command.
B. Ensure sergeant responsibilities have been completed.
C. Brief arriving units.
D. Designate a media staging area.
E. Check call status with Communications Section.
1. If there are too many waiting calls, request assistance from other precincts or request that the Communications Section starts screening low priority calls.
F. Consider psychological support for officers for involved squad and precinct.
1. Psychologist
a. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing
b. Peer Counselors
G. Consider Department-wide announcement for on-duty officers via Mobile Data Device.
IV. Use of King Country Guardian One Helicopter
A. The King County Sheriff's Office helicopter, Guardian One, operates during the following hours:
1. Monday through Friday 0930-1730 hrs., and Tuesday through Saturday 2000-0400 hrs.
B. When Guardian One is airborne and over Seattle, the pilot will normally advise SPD Radio over the air or by telephone that they are in service and monitoring the MARS channel.
C. Requesting Guardian One:
1. When Guardian One is in service an Officer may request their assistance through Communications via SPD Radio. Communications will then notify Guardian One of the incident and the need to respond.
2. When Guardian One is not in service the request must be screened through a sergeant prior to making the request through Communications.
D. A sergeant will monitor the situation and assess the continued need for Guardian One.

Winter in Hong Kong: the best designer coats
From puffer to biker to trench: designers have experimented with and tweaked the basic shapes to bring you plenty of choice for the chilly season
The deluge of new arrivals in stores means it's time to plan your winter wardrobe. Topping most wish lists this season is the statement coat, available in so many different forms it will make your head spin.
While many designers experimented with shape, cut or fabric, others used styling tricks to transform their outerwear. Balenciaga's coats were worn pulled back across the shoulders. At Céline, models held their coats shut using one hand. There is something for everyone: the edgy urbanite (DKNY), femme fatale (Lanvin) or dreamy romantic (Gucci).
One thing most designers agree on this season is that basic is boring. They have taken timeless styles and reworked them into pieces that look fresh and, dare we say it, original. Case in point is the biker jacket, which thanks to Kate Moss, is a guaranteed bestseller at any luxury or high street store. For autumn, it has shrugged off some of its rock edge thanks to a new oversized silhouette that brings to mind the 1990s with its slouchy shoulders and long torso. Rick Owens' version has lapels so big that the jacket morphs into a cape.
Another classic, the bomber jacket has been rebranded as the aviator, and has a sportier look. Editors were fawning over the Gucci version decorated with striped cuffs and an orange padded lining. Trench coats are also going strong but rather than invest in practical gaberdine style, designers are hoping you will splurge on buttery leather versions (Céline) or black patent (Lanvin) instead. Valentino's floor-length trench is so chic you'll practically glide into a room while wearing it.
Fashion shoot: scorching hot looks for autumn-winter
Military-inspired jackets have never really gone out of style, and winter offers every version imaginable. Aside from a tailored army coat – Haider Ackermann's khaki styles are particularly elegant – there were some ornate styles. These versions are more fitted, with sharp shoulders and are decorated with epaulettes, buttons, gold rope, bows and even crystals as spotted at Givenchy, Burberry and Dolce & Gabbana.
Leopard print is a perennial favourite and covers various styles from a fur coat at Prada and leather-trimmed tailored coat at Bottega Veneta, to a more subdued grey double-breasted style at Christian Dior.
If you're after something more heavy duty, then opt for cosy shearling. The bigger and fluffier the coat, the better. At Céline an oversized style came with leather detailing while John Galliano created a more dramatic cape at Maison Martin Margiela. For something that is casual and super easy to wear, try Chloé's oversized jumper/jacket with zippered pockets.
One new trend this autumn is the puffer jacket. Once a fashion no-no relegated to ski trips, it is now trending thanks to the emergence of haute street wear on the catwalks. Moncler may have made the puffer luxurious, but designers such as Demna Gvasalia of Vetements and Balenciaga have made it cool again. Balenciaga's versions were worn open at the shoulders with a polo neck underneath. Hip British duo Marques Almeida created a XXL floor-length puffer in bold colours such as orange, while another was worn over a cocktail dress on the catwalk. McQueen's blanket coat comes in the palest shade of pink and is decorated with flowers and lined in marabou feathers.
Velvet may give you bad '80s flashbacks, but the supple material was reworked into some gorgeous cover-ups at brands such as Roberto Cavalli and Preen. Vinyl and patent leather also add a dark sexy edge to Isabel Marant and Loewe's cover-ups. And for that final touch, designers such as Dries Van Noten added a splattering of sequins. There's no better way to shimmy into party season.
Rue Madame offers customisable tailored coats
Personalisation is still a hot trend which is why we are lusting after a range of customisable coats launched by local retailer Rue Madame. The recently launched collection features a range of tailored classic styles in wool, mohair and cashmere blends including a button-up long coat (HK$3,890) and hooded zipper coat (HK$3,490). For every coat purchased, customers will be given a set of embroidered or sequined patches so they can customise their coat with their own initials and other fun emojis.

I have been downloading spreadsheets from Google Docs in PHP using a simple file_get_contents($url); method. The url has a form of
$url = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?hl=en_GB&hl=en_GB&key=something&single=true&gid=0&output=csv";
Its been working fine all the time, and it still works fine at my host, but it stopped working on my local windows based XAMPP installation.
The error it's showing since a few days is:
file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Unable to find the wrapper "https" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?
My problem is that I couldn't find any field with neither "SSL" or "HTTPS" in the php.ini file in the XAMPP folder. Nor I could find any tutorial for simply just enabling downloading with SSL in XAMPP. All the tutorials were about how to serve HTTPS pages, not about downloading something with a simple file_get_contents($url) method.
Can you tell me what do I need to modify on my installation to make it work?
1. file_get_contents() works fine with everything else
2. using the browser, I could download from the same url.

Everyone is talking about drones. Also known as Unmanned Arial Vehicles, or UAVs, remote-piloted aircrafts have become a controversial centerpiece of the Obama administration's counter-terrorism strategy. Domestically, their surveillance power is being hyped for everything from fighting crime to monitoring hurricanes or spawning salmon. Meanwhile, concerns are cropping up about privacy, ethics and safety. We've rounded up some of the best coverage of drones to get you oriented. Did we miss anything? Let us know.
A Little History
The idea of unmanned flight had been around for decades, but it was in the 1990s, thanks to advances in GPS and computing, that the possibilities for drones really took off, as the New Yorker recently recounted. While hobbyists and researchers looked for uses for automated, airborne cameras, the military became the driving force behind drone developments. (This history from the Washington Post has more details) According to the Congressional Research Service, the military's cache of U.A.V.'s has grown from just a handful in 2001 to more than 7,000 today. This New York Times graphic shows the variety of drones currently employed by the military — from the famous missile-launching Predator to tiny prototypes shaped like hummingbirds.
This February, Congress cleared the way for far more widespread use of drones by businesses, scientists, police and still unknown others. The Federal Aviation Administration will release a comprehensive set of rules on drones by 2015.
The Shadow Drone War: Obama's Open Secret
As the ground wars in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down, the Obama administration has escalated a mostly covert air war through clandestine bases in the U.S. and other countries. Just this week, the administration's drone-driven national security policy was documented in this book excerpt by Newsweek reporter Daniel Klaidman and a New York Times article.
Both the CIA and military use drones for "targeted killings" of terrorist leaders. The strikes have been an awkward open secret, remaining officially classified while government officials mention them repeatedly. Obama admitted the program's existence in an online chat in February, and his counterterrorism advisor, John Brennan, gave a speech last month laying out the administration's legal and ethical case for drone strikes.
The crux of it is that they are a precise and efficient form of warfare. Piloted from thousands of miles away (here's an account from a base outside Las Vegas), they don't put U.S. troops at risk, and, by the government's count, harm few civilians.

We service and repair American cars & vans
Our team has spent time in the US, training with major American car manufacturers such as Ford, Chrysler and GM. We use the knowledge we gain from this to efficiently and reliably work on your American car in the UK. This level of knowledge is unique in our field and sets us apart from most others.
Here are just some of the American vehicles we maintain, service & repair in St Helens

We offer a range of diagnostics services in the St Helens area. We hold main dealer level diagnostics equipment to ensure we get to the bottom of your vehicles issues quickly and efficiently. No matter if your American vehicle needs an engine diagnostic or an auto electrical diagnostics, our team are ready to help.
We Offer Performance & Tuning
We all want the best performance out of our vehicles. Whether it's power, efficiency or drivability you want, your car can always be improved.
When adding parts to your vehicle they must be compatible with your car. If the person modifying your American car doesn't know the vehicle and its parts inside out, the result could be substandard.
We have a passion for and specialise in American cars, and as a result, can advise the best methods to get optimal performance out of your vehicle. We will select the best parts to suit your car, make sure they are all compatible together and set them up and configure them correctly. This will unlock the full potential of your American car, making it even more enjoyable to own.
Modifying American cars to suit British roads.
The FastFit Centre can make any modifications needed to ensure your American car is safe and legal on British roads. Uk law is different to the USA laws and therefore there are different requirements for road uses in the UK.
American vehicles are required to have certain modifications when imported to ensure they are roadworthy under UK law. They undergo an annual test similar to an MOT that checks components such as lights, tyres, number plates and speedometers. The FastFit Centre can adapt your American vehicle to Uk road use
These tests are often very thorough and if your American car is not ready it could end up being very costly. We can check your American vehicle and make all the necessary modifications and changes needed to make it legal on British roads, ensuring it is ready to past the test.
American Vehicle Air Conditioning Service.
Air-conditioning-diagramMany American vehicles, especially older ones, have unreliable air conditioning systems. So it is a good idea to have it regularly serviced to make sure the system is working properly.
It is recommended that vehicles have their air conditioning systems serviced every two years to ensure they work as efficiently as possible. The efficiency of an air conditioning system is dependent on its ability to dissipate heat, but the components responsible for this are prone to corrosion and damage.
Due to the harmful gasses used in a vehicle air conditioning system, technicians that work on these must be 'F-gas certified'. At The FastFit Centres, all of our technicians are Aircon accredited and therefore fully qualified to work on air conditioning systems. We will test your system to ensure it is working as well as it could and repair or replace anything that is needed.
Wheel Alignment & Tyres For American Cars
American vehicles often have a very different wheelbase to most European vehicles and as a result, need specialist equipment to alter. Our American vehicle service centre has fitted specialist workshop equipment that allows us to accurately measure and adjust the steering and wheel alignment of almost all American cars.
Tyre fitting for American cars in St Helens.
Tyres do wear out over time, especially if your tyres aren't suited for the roads you're driving on. The road conditions in the UK are vastly different from those in America and as a result, your American vehicle may have unsuitable tyres fitted. We can advise you on what tyres are best suited for your vehicle, to ensure safety and longevity.
We hold a large number of tyres in our workshop.
Gearbox and Servicing
Gearboxes need to be properly maintained to make sure they are working as smoothly and efficiently as possible. We can maintain, service and replace both automatic and manual gearboxes from American vehicles.
If your American car or van has an automatic gearbox it is recommended that you get a gearbox service at least once every 15 months. Manual gearboxes can last longer without a service, however, if you start noticing gearbox faults you should get it checked immediately.
When should I get my gearbox checked?
You should get your gearbox checked if you notice any of the following:
American vehicles are very different from most vehicles on the European roads and although all cars are affected by towing a trailer, American cars are affected more so.
Towing something significantly affects the handling and braking ability of a vehicle making it unsafe, hard to drive and in some cases illegal. Atlantic Autos can advise you on changes that need to be made to your vehicle to make it safe and legal to tow, and then carry out the necessary modifications at a competitive price.
We will often advise that a fifth wheel hitch is used instead of a conventional tow bar and that an electronic brake system is fitted to the trailer. The fifth wheel hitch will improve the handling of your vehicle by securely locking the trailer into place to stop it from swaying. The electronic brake system will apply brakes to the trailer at the same time as you brake in your vehicle, reducing the stress on your brakes. This also greatly decreases the chance of brake failure or jack-knifing.
How to find us?
If you are heading from the town centre simply follow Ecclestion street to the traffic lights and turn Left at the Nags head Building and we are located just on the right across the road from Farmfoods.
If you are coming from Prescot way its best to go straight down Prescot road until you get to the Eccleston Arms Bar & Grill follow-on to the traffic lights and turn left. carry on down past Morrisons and you will find us just on the Left we are well advertised so don't worry you won't miss us.
Or of course, you could put us into your Satnav.

Australian theatre group returns from Indonesia after joint production in Java and Sumatra
Melbourne-based puppet theatre group Polyglot has been keen on a joint production with Indonesia's Papermoon theatre for years.
"I love their work," Polyglot's artistic director Sue Giles said.
She first met Maria Tri Sulistyani and Iwan Effendi, Papermoon's co-founders, in 2008.
"They're very political, they have a really contemporary voice in Java through the puppetry they create - very different to the traditional form," she said.
The two theatre groups finally got their chance for a joint production on the ground in Indonesia this year, with support from the Australian Foreign Affairs Department and the Australia-Indonesia Institute.
Their collaboration, called Drawbridge, involved two large-scale shows with local children in Merapi, in Java, and Duri, in Sumatra.
Along with puppetry, the artists also drew on the popularity of comic books to engage the children.
"We had speech balloons ... We had big panels which were from children's drawings that Mandy Ord [the cartoonist] took directly from their work to create the space and also the narrative flow of the whole work as well," Ms Giles said.
No barriers
Cartoonist Mandy Ord worked with the children on their drawings, before turning them into much larger images for the show.
She says art helped overcome any language barriers.
"The beauty about comics is you can say so much with images, you can teach without words," Ms Ord said.
"The kids already had this inherent knowledge of writing stories with pictures, so it was quite easy to lead them in some exercises."
Ms Ord says drawing with children let her recollect the freedom of drawing spontaneously.
"I find with cartooning as an adult, that it's become quite rigid ... and kids have this beautiful freedom in the way they express themselves," she said.
Community involvement
Nearly 90 children and adults from two villages were in the production and Ms Giles says they were very keen.
"From the moment we woke up in the morning, children would start to arrive - they would be drawing constantly, Mandy would be exploring all sorts of different incredible techniques with them," she said.
"Because the way they learn art is very precise in Indonesian schools, so this was a real chance for people to find out new stuff, this community was very open to new stories as well."
They ended up using a story from the area about an ogre, but the children came up with the plot and the adults helped refine it.
"It was very much a collaborative effect, getting that story together," Ms Giles said.
Even residents not directly involved were so excited about the production that it eventually grew into a community festival.
"We had traditional [Reog] dancing before and afterwards, we had about 500 people come from all over the place - from villages all the way around, but also from Jakarta, Bantul and Yogyakarta," Ms Giles said.
"It was a huge, big community event and the centrepiece was the work we created with the children and the adults in this community."
In the next step of the Drawbridge project, Papermoon Puppet Theatre will travel to Melbourne in July.
They will work with students from the Victorian College of the Deaf to create a giant walk-through comic book at Federation Square.

Flying Houses
Tuesday, July 10th, 2012
By Gem Barton
First shown at Dock en Seine City of Fashion and Design back in June, Flying Houses, a series of 'digital composites' by French photographer Laurent Chehere, has raised a few roofs. Driven by his interest in architecture and expressed as a metaphor for travelling, the Flying Housesgive us a new perspective on the idea of site-specificity. Remove an everyday object [the house] from its everyday environment [the street] and the metaphor of 'travel' becomes elevated and begins to tap into notions of safety.
Chehere has a great eye for composition and the choice of tone and color of each individual sky-drop perfectly accompanies the materiality of the house and it's character. We are introduced to a collection of different houses and apartments in various states of disrepair. Chehere shows us the glamour of First class, the discomfort of coach and everything in between.
Flying Houses gives us new angles on these buildings that we inhabit and experience every single day, revealing aspects that we would never have seen had they remained rooted to the ground. We'll be keeping a keen eye on Chehere's next project whether it be airborne or earthbound.

Hey Lovelies ♥,
So I've been off of the old blogging scene recently as life got a bit hectic! I handed in my notice after 3 and half years at my current job and lets just say it didn't go down very well at all! Anyhoo new year, new job, new start ay - excited but so soo scared!
So on to the review - If you have read my blog for a while you will know that I love love love the Clinique curling mascara (review here) and every time I tried a new mascara it just didn't compare and I would always go back to my good ole' clinique one. But, it has been a while since I've strayed and well I just fancied a change ..
I was in Debehnams and wondered over to the Estee Lauder Counter for a change. I've never tried any of their products before and I've never read any reviews on any of their products either so it was a bit of a close my eyes and just pick one scenario. I picked the Sumptuous Extreme mascara which is meant to multiply & magnify which sounded good to me!
The packaging is pretty, gold and blue, and quite chunky which makes it seem like you get a lot of product in there. The brush is quite large too but it's coned so its thinner at the end which means you can get them little buggers in the corners quite easily. The mascara is really lovely, it really does thicken your lashes and I think it does also lengthen too. This is the best mascara I have ever tried and I have to say that it does beat my Clinique although, it is also the most expensive mascara I have tried at £22!
I really recommend this mascara if you fancy a little splurge, it really is amazing ♥
What is your favourite mascara? ♥

I'm going to be returning for the third year in a row to the Bay Area Maker Faire on the weekend of May 18th and 19th. If you're anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area, or indeed the entire West Coast, you really ought to head over and check it out. The whole thing keeps getting bigger and better.
If you've never heard of it, you should check out the website. There will be art, science, and tech projects everywhere. The organizers bill it as the "greatest show and tell on Earth" and they're probably right. There
will be giant bicycles, flame-belching sculptures, an electronic
giraffe, and countless other things to see, do, and learn. Heck, last
year there was a guy who'd turned a DeLorean into a hovercraft.
For my part, I'll be setting up my display booth and have a handful of characters walking around in costume. I'll also be bringing a stack of molds, unfinished pieces, and photo albums so I can spend all day hanging out and answering how-to questions for anyone who stops by. So this is usually the view I have while I'm there:
I'll also have a booth set up to sell some Combat Garden Gnomes:
So come out and see some awesome stuff, get inspired, and have a great time.
Oh, and if you happen to bump into one of my Space Marines, be sure to apologize:

You should get the files for the 3D printed gun that actually fires and show it off at the fair : http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/06/the-liberator-the-first-completely-3d-printed-gun-gets-fired/ReplyDelete
There was an Imperial Fist terminator costume that got some press that looked alright, but didn't have the right stature. I think this, however, may have just upped the bar. Any plan on incorporating articulated hands?ReplyDelete
Come to think of it. Next "suit" should of course be a Combat Garden Gnome suit. :)ReplyDelete

That is my reaction to the AA meeting I attended for my psych class tonight. I was not expecting to get much out of it, but boy was I wrong.
I don't really feel like going into too much detail, as it is something that is very personal to me, but the lesson they shared reminded me of my own struggles. Here is a small bit of my response paper: "I would never have had the courage to accept what I had done and recover from it unless I had hit that bottom and had no where to go but up. A person doesn't want to admit they need help until it's unbearable for them, and that was where I was at. Luckily my friends supported me all the way, helping me by checking up on me and sometimes even simply telling me I was loved and important." If you'd like to read the rest of it, feel free to ask, but I can't guarantee I will say yes. This is a hard topic for me to even write about, let alone share with others, so give me time.
I'm really glad I went tonight.

Yeah, now that I think about it, it's amazing how a class assignment of going to an AA metting can really help give insight into life and help with struggles. The meeting I went to was good as well. It made me realize how many struggles alcoholics have and it gave me insight into my own life. God works in wonderful ways. :)ReplyDelete

They came from all parts to the brick and sandstone courthouse surrounded by lush green lawn on a full city block. The morning fog cleared just in time to see the ancient cannons out front before the doors were unlocked. It was a brilliant warm June day, strangely familiar, but it would prove to be unlike any previous day the imposing structure had hosted in it's 107 years. Men and women from 20-something to 70-something. White, Black, Latino, and Asian. Of all socioeconomic levels. Some dressed rather formally. Others in shorts and t-shirts. A few couples were there alone, but many brought family and friends. Mom, dad, grandma and kids were there to witness. Cute toddlers in tow. Eye-rolling teens texting and waiting to be done and get going wherever teens go these days. And, yes, a handful of heterosexual couples wondering what on earth was going on today.
Their life's path led them to the Old OC Courthouse today, up the granite steps, past the sad handful of religious extremists into the Clerk-Recorder's office to get married. Today – on day one.
Most struggled to keep their emotions under control, pretending it was just another day in their long journey together. A state-sanctioned recognition of what they had been living for years or decades. And yet there were small signs that they were barely managing to hold themselves together. A trembling hand reached to answer a ringing cell phone. A few endlessly repeated the steps they would go through as though cramming for a college exam. Teary outbursts in the midst of the ceremony were the norm.
Pair by pair they were married. Friends and family cheered. Strangers congratulated them. Most walked up the massive central stairway to the reception sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Center of Orange County, surprised that people they had never met would take the time to offer them a place to enjoy some cake, toast them with sparkling cider, and most importantly provide a quiet place for the new couple and friends to sit for a few moments and let it all start to sink in. It was, more than anything else, a day about family.
I saw a young latina couple waiting in the parking lot for their relatives to all arrive. They took a few final puffs of a cigarette and began to make their way through the short gauntlet of protesters with their little girl in her new red and white party dress. When the loudest sign-waver opened his mouth, they both turned on their heel, fingers waving in the air in unison. "Don't you DARE try to mess with us on our day," said one. "And do NOT address our daughter," added the other. One bride's mami and papi dressed in their Sunday best instinctively formed a circle to protect their daughter, her bride to be, and their granddaughter from the loudmouth. They glared back at the clown who wisely chose that moment to take a break from his ranting until this familia was at the courthouse door.
I met a proud mom fixing her handsome son's hair and adjusting his tie in that universal act of unneeded maternal grooming before handing her boy off symbolically to his smiling partner. Son flashed a boyish grin at mom while she wiped away a tear and gave him a quick squeeze before sending him to the altar. No words were exchanged, but the actions were loud and clear.
I witnessed schoolkids excitedly signing translations to their deaf dad, thrilled to be helpful participants in the day.
One couple was turned away. Two guys in matching Hawaiian shirts and shorts were told they needed a valid government ID to marry. One gentleman was disabled did not have a current license. They went to the DMV, returned within an hour with the required paperwork in hand, and were wed without delay.
I met a chatty older woman who whispered to me that she voted for Proposition 22 before her son came out to her. And now she just wished there was some way she could take her vote back. How could anybody vote to take away her son's right to marry the man he loved, she wondered aloud. How could anyone vote to take away her kid's right to be happy? What gives these people the right to break her boy's heart? I just nodded and listened.
These were but a handful of the people I met today at the courthouse. It was such an exciting day I couldn't tear myself away until it was over. There are another dozen stories I could share with you. It was an amazing and powerful day. One I know I will never forget.
I am prouder today to be a Californian than I have ever been. My respect and admiration for the Justices of the State Supreme Court runs deeper than ever. And I know that with some education the voters will do what is right come November. Equality for All asks you to "Vow to Vote NO on the Marriage Ban!"
To feel a small part of this special day for so many is a unique privilege. Years of work on this issue changed lives starting this morning. Our work, done right, is capable of changing lives. IT CHANGES LIVES! Today I felt strongly connected to Dr. King, to Rosa Parks, to Elizabeth Cady Stanton and to Susan B. Anthony in their struggles to remove logic-defying barriers.
So when do we embark on the next great movement for equality of opportunity and civil rights? Sign me up today!

text: The problem of regulatory PCI compliance in public cloud such as AWS applies more to small and medium size companies than enterprises. For example, if you are a Bank or financial institution then you can spend sizable sum on assessing yourself for PCI compliance and work with leading auditing firm to achieve the same. However it becomes challenging for small companies running payment applications or infrastructure on foundation services such as EC2 (Elastic Cloud Compute) and S3 (Simple Storage Service). AWS clearly states that you can get a completely PCI compliant infrastructure on EC2 and there are number of customers using AWS infrastructure services who are PCI/PA compliant. Security and compliance is a shared responsibility between AWS and service provider/customers.


text: Legendary American brand Brooks Brothers is one of the best established names in men's clothing, a beacon of classic style and fantastic tailoring. The brand began life back in 1818, making it one of the oldest men's clothiers in America and has managed to maintain its traditional aesthetic, while also developing it to appeal to every new generation that comes along. Perhaps one of the most important elements of the Brooks Brothers offerings is the impeccable standard of finish on each piece, accompanied by the choice of the finest fabrics. The sandals range from Brooks Brothers features leather flip-flops, wide strap sandals and criss cross designs.

Around the world there are countless bike rental shops, but none of them are quite like Quikbyke, which operates out of Omaha, Nebraska and soon St. Petersburg, Florida. The e-bike rental shop operates out of a 20-foot shipping container and appeals to tourists, especially Baby Boomers, who are seeking an alternative to taking a bus, taxi or another means of affordable transport.
The small shipping container space is equipped with its own rooftop solar system and a battery bank to charge the electric bikes, as well as supply electricity to the systems that require power within the retail space such as the LED lights, POS station and the wireless network.
Now more than ever, businesses are adopting the shop-in-a-box model as a means of embracing mobile, sustainable and self-contained operations.

Cayman Islands Funds Group
The Cayman Islands is the principal offshore jurisdiction for private equity funds. It is attractive as a domicile for funds because it is supported by a fully-developed business law, an English-based legal system and a regulatory and professional infrastructure capable of implementing large and complex international business transactions.
As closed ended funds are not regulated by CIMA, it is not possible to identify the number of funds launched as closed ended funds. However, the most popular vehicle for such funds is the exempted limited partnership, 40% of which were formed and established by Maples and Calder in 2017.
Members of our Cayman Islands Funds Group are based in our Cayman Islands, Dubai, Hong Kong, London and Singapore offices.
- Our Cayman office focuses primarily on the North American market and also houses our Latin America Group, which provides investment on all aspects of private equity funds.
- We have significant expertise in relation to Shariah Law compliant private equity products, in particular in our Dubai office.
- Our Hong Kong office funds group has particular expertise in private equity products preferred by Asian investors.
- Our London office primarily services the need of our European based clients. It is at the forefront of developments affecting private equity funds under the European Union Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive.
Setting up a private equity fund in the Cayman Islands offers a number ...
- Speed and simplicity of establishing Cayman entities.
- Relatively low cost of doing so, particularly in the context of typical transaction sizes.
- Flexible and practical business statutes.
- Cayman insolvency law is simple and effective, and hence of great appeal to lenders.
- Robust and healthy compliance culture.
- English-based legal system, established judiciary and absence of political or sovereign concerns.
- Professional infrastructure and reputation. Cayman is well-known for its established and experienced financial services sector and substantial capacity.
- Compliance with international anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing and other financial regulatory standards.
- Significant number of international tax information exchange agreements and OECD 'white list' status.
- Tax and exchange control neutrality.
- The service-providers to the fund (investment managers, advisers, brokers, administrator, etc.) may be located anywhere in the world.
There are three main fund structures:
Exempted Limited Partnerships. The exempted limited partnership concept tracks its Delaware equivalent and is therefore very popular with United States promoters and their advisers. Closed-ended/private equity funds are most commonly established in Cayman as exempted limited partnerships.
Companies. Companies are invariably incorporated with limited liability. The limited liability company is only used occasionally for private equity funds.
Unit Trusts. The unit trust has been a popular vehicle for many years and Cayman trust law essentially follows English trust law whereby unit trusts are established under a trust deed giving unit holders undivided beneficial interests in the trust property. Unit trusts are often used (in place of companies) for investors in jurisdictions where participation in a unit trust is more acceptable or attractive than shares in a company.

Foster Kittens Update
Sorry I haven't posted in a week but things have been pretty busy around here. I wanted to share an update on the foster kittens. They are growing and becoming more and more friendly by the day. Little Magpie follows me everywhere wanting to be picked up and snuggled. Raven is finally over his fear aggression and comes running to see us, too. He loves to be snuggled and loves to play. They're getting very adventuresome and spend plenty of time each day wrestling and tumbling but they still sleep quite a bit, too. Here are some updated photos of the kittens.

lolita, Lolita Fashion, Lolita Meet-Up, Meet-Up, Metamorphose, Metamorphose temps de fille, Milwaukee Lolita Society
Well, the meeting at work yesterday went a full two and a half hours (it never should have gone that long), but after the urging of one of my friends, I decided to head up to Milwaukee anyhow. I arrived just in time for things to wrap up at Brodach, then quickly changed so that I could be in the group photos and not look extremely out of place.
The outfit I wore was intentionally casual, so that it would be easy to quickly change in and out of. I put the whole thing together the night before the meet-up, and was initially intending on wearing Sleeping Beauty again, and then I remembered I had not worn this skirt yet.
Skirt: Bodyline
Everything else is off-brand.
In the end, I was glad I chose the lighter colored outfit, as about half of the group decided to wander up to a local street fair for an hour or so. When we left the street fair, we went over to a little park under a bridge with ground made of recycled tires, and swings made of tires and thick chains. The four of us that remained sat on a large bench swing talking for a while.
I wish I could have made it there for the Brunch, but I am still glad I went up. Also, I received a gift from a friend of mine while I was up there.
(I had already changed back into my work clothes and was in my car by the time I took this picture)
This is a Metamorphose necklace that she saw on Lace Market. She had recently heard me say that I did not really have any brand, and she knew I loved purple, so she bought it for me. I really love the necklace, now I just need to find or make something to wear it with. 😀 This, combined with my Innocent World Mook Violin bag are my only two items of brand. Hopefully once I catch up with my bills though, I can put money aside to buy a main piece from a brand.

'Selected by one of Australia's most acclaimed poets, this inspired collection captures the richness and scope of present-day Australian verse. It features innovative and exciting poems - many published here for the first time - from our best-known poets as well as daring and insightful works from rising stars.
Together they create a lively sense of conversation, of voices criss-crossing the continent, exploring the many themes that animated and inspired the nation's poets in 2010.' (From the Publisher's website)
'Mike Ladd's new collection, Invisible Mending ranges across genres including essay, memoir, short story and poetry. Based loosely on the ideas of scarring and healing, Invisible Mending extends from family intimacies to connection and disconnection in the Australian community, environmental damage and repair. It also has an international view. Parts of it were written at an artist's residency in Malaysia and while travelling through South America.' (Publication summary)
