You can put a dent in your photographic reputation if you take poor photographs. There are some tips listed in this article to help you start bettering your photography techniques.
When working on snapping an excellent photo, it's best to keep your settings as simple as possible. Photographs can capture something wonderful, even without knowing how a single setting works.
You can get a better picture by getting close to your subject. Getting closer eliminates backgrounds that are disruptive, and better frames the subject. It also allows facial expressions to really stand out, which can provide your pictures with a lot of emotion. Those small, yet important details are often lost when you're standing too far away.
If you're taking pictures of landscapes, you will want to create depth and perspective for the viewer. By placing a person or familiar object in the foreground of your photo, you will provide the viewer with a sense of scale. You can get decent focus on both foreground and background objects by using a small aperture setting: Something under f/8 with a standard digital camera or f/16 when using a full-frame SLR.
Choose what to focus on and what elements to include in your composition. Imagine your camera is a tiny window focused in on just one component of your subject. Avoid the temptation to include your entire subject in the photo. If you are trying to capture an impression, take a couple of photographs instead of just one singe picture that has no detail or focus.
Before going on a trip, make sure you carefully pack the equipment. To pack thoughtfully, make sure to bring along enough lenses, spare batteries, and accessories you need to clean your camera. Only take what you really need and what can be easily transported on the trip.
One way to make the subjects of your picture pop out is to have a background that is not as well defined. Having a background that is in full focus will take away from your subject, making it harder to direct your viewer's focus to the right location. You can accomplish this by having your background further away from your subject.
Do not allow your camera batteries to run low because you never know when a photo opportunity will occur. Because digital cameras drain their batteries pretty fast, it's important that you start the day with a full charge. Another excellent suggestion is to always carry spare batteries with you to ensure you don't miss a potentially incredible shot.
Utilize the different functions of your camera and various colors or angles to create interest in your images. It's not required that you have a unique object for a high-quality photo. A skilled photographer with an artistic eye can turn a mundane subject into an exceptional picture. Experiment a lot in order to develop your style.
Photography must be enjoyable. Taking photographs should give you a sense of accomplishment, and reviewing them later should give you a sense of warm nostalgia. If taking pictures is fun, you'll be more excited to learn new skills.
When you are on a trip, snap photos of insignificant things. Once you get home you will appreciate all the photos you have taken and relive the journey in your mind. Oddball items you come across, street signs and paper memorabilia can be great subjects.
It is important to have a sufficient memory to hold lots of pictures; the best way to get good photos is to take a large number of them. A 16 gigabyte memory card will store all of your photos without the necessity of changing memory cards during a photo shoot. Yet another advantage to lots of memory is that it allows you to shoot in a format called RAW, giving you greater flexibility when you edit it later.
Detail some notes on your camera settings when you are taking photos. When you look at your hundreds of shot, it could be difficult to remember where they were taken or your feelings at that time. Use a notepad to jot down a few notes about the pictures you take.
Take notes when taking pictures. If you have hundreds of photographs, you probably won't be able to remember where or when you took them all or how you were feeling at the time. Keep a notepad handy and write down which number your photo is and a description.
Move closer to your subject when you are taking the photograph. It's frustrating for the viewer to not clearly see the details of the subject because the camera was too far away. Get closer and make it easy to see what you are taking a photo of.
You are permitted to move your subject in order to discover a unique shot. When shooting your subject, try angles from the left, right, above and even below if possible.
Nobody says you cannot move around your subject to search for an interesting shot. Try interesting angles such as shooting from above, underneath, moving from side to side of the subject, or holding the camera at waist level.
Putting your models at ease is important, especially if they are unfamiliar with you. Some people look at photographers as threatening. You can ease their reluctance by engaging them in a friendly conversation and asking permission to photograph them. You need to make your subjects see photography as art as opposed to a violation of their privacy.
Finding the right subject is essential to the photograph. It doesn't matter how skilled you are, or how great your equipment is, you need a great subject to photograph. Look for inspirational people, places and things, or enlist the help of a model who will pose for you.
Anybody can become a decent photographer, it just takes practice. Experiment with the settings on your camera to see how they affect the photographs. If you have a digital camera, you'll probably end up deleting some of your pictures: you don't have to develop them all if you don't like them. Your skills will improve over time and you will benefit from scrutinizing your images and what you could have done to improve them.
Contrarily to popular belief, wearing white to have a picture taken is not good. Since many cameras are automatically set to focus, the camera takes all the colors from the photograph into account. Wearing white ensures that the auto-focus can't get a proper reading, leaving the photograph washed out.
While taking indoor photos under fluorescent lighting, make sure the camera has the appropriate white balance settings. Fluorescent lights emit blue- or green-tinged light, leaving your subjects looking too cool. The appropriate setting will compensate for the red tones that your lighting environment lacks.
Shoot pictures from a variety of angles using different sources of light. Play with these settings prior to shooting so that you understand how they can affect your shot.
When you are taking photos, remember that sometimes less is more. A photo does not need to be overly cluttered. There is lots of beauty in the simplest of art forms, so make your shots simple!
When photographing nature and landscapes, always be aware of your surroundings. While appreciating the scene is good, take an additional moment to see to it that you are not leaving any traces. Take pictures of that beautiful scene, but be sure you leave it just as beautiful for the next person.
Natural lighting can play a major role in your photographs so take note of what is happening. If you're taking photos outdoors, early morning and late afternoon are ideal times to take them because that's when the almighty sun is lowest in the sky. When the sun sits high in the sky, harsh shadows or squinting subjects can become an issue. Position your subject to they are hit with the sun on their side to get a wonderful looking effect.
Remember that a camera is only a tool. If you use a shorter depth field you can blur the backgrounds, and bring your subject matter into the foreground.
Consider sending along some advance advice on how your subjects will want to dress when you are setting up a group photograph. While it is not necessary for everyone to wear the same color, complementary colors create more visual impact. Recommend warm colors or neutral hues; these shades blend in well with a variety of different backgrounds. If your subjects prefer bright colors, suggest that they also wear black to balance out your photo.
Strive to have an interesting object within the foreground of any landscape photos you shoot. Items that you can use include a tree branch or a small rock. The enhanced depth will make the photos more interesting to those viewing them, and viewers will be better able to imagine themselves in the setting.
To add visual interest to a scene, explore different settings to adjust the focus. Choosing a lower f-stop number will sharpen the focus on your central subject, and blur the rest. This is a good choice for portraits, since the subject of your shot will be nearer to the camera. If you want everything in the composition to be in focus, use a larger f-stop. This is ideal for landscape photographs.
Think outside the box (or face) when photographing people. The human body is made of many different areas that lend themselves beautifully to artful photography.
You should always have an idea as to if you want to use highlights or shadow exposure in your pictures. Although, if you take a picture with each setting, you can use photography software to blend the two together.
Always think about the purpose of every photo you shoot. Some shots look better vertically, and some look better from a horizontal angle. You can probably edit your photo either way once it has been downloaded, but sometimes, you can get a better result by using the right orientation in the first place.
If you have to adjust to new backdrops or subjects, take lots of practice shots. Every situation in photography is different, so it is important that you take practice shots to get used to the setting. Lighting often changes, so take as many practice photos as necessary between shots to ensure your settings are correctly set.
Ordinary Items
Knowing what equipment works for you is crucial if you aim to make photography more than an occasional hobby. While some people only select name brands, there is no harm in testing out all the manufacturers that are available.
Look to get inspired by ordinary items. Try to use your abilities and photographic skills to turn ordinary items into extraordinary photos. You can use anything, like pencils, appliances, or money. Experiment with composition and form. The artistic qualities of the shots you take depend on how you approach the shots and what you can do with them. Finally, challenge your capabilities to add a fun component to your work.
Almost any subject can be made more interesting if you change your camera's settings, or take the picture from a new angle. Practice these techniques before you shoot your photos so you know what results you'll get from each.
Taking quality photos can be difficult, but with a little effort and research, you are sure to improve. All you have to do is increase your knowledge base and have your work critiqued, and you will soon see an improvement in your skills. You'll likely see immediate improvement if you apply these tips the next time you press the shutter.
You should have a certain idea of what your picture will be used for before you take it. This will help you decide if you want a vertical or a horizontal shot for instance. You can likely edit your photo to work either way after you have taken it, but in some cases, it is better to be sure that you get the entire shot exactly as it is meant to be used.

Israeli commandos armed with guns attacked the lead ship of a flotilla of aid-carrying vessels bound for Gaza on Monday, leaving several of the pro-Palestinian activists on board dead and many more injured.
The Freedom Flotilla, a convoy of six ships carrying hundreds of activists, political leaders and journalists from around the world, was trying to deliver about 10,000 tonnes of basic aid including food, medicines, and construction material, in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza.
While Israel has said activists were the first to attack the troops with bats and knives when they boarded the ship, the flotilla's organisers said that Israeli forces were the ones to open fire first.Watch Aljazeera English here now free streaming video

LONDON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Discount supermarket Lidl UK said on Wednesday it grew sales by 16 percent in the Christmas period as it set a record for the number of customers coming into its stores in December.
The company, owned by Germany's Schwarz Group, said the busiest day in the period was Dec. 22, while the week starting Dec. 18 was its strongest ever trading week.
Sales growth at Lidl and its fellow German discounter Aldi outpaced Britain's "big four" supermarkets over the Christmas period, Kantar Worldpanel said on Tuesday, with each growing sales by 16.8 percent in the 12 weeks to Dec. 31.

Cleveland, OH - It's the sound that's music to a Browns fan's ears. Tailgaters barking and yelling, "Here we go Brownies; here we go!!!"
But some of the sights that went along with the start of the first regular game of the Browns season were not so welcome - bumper to bumper traffic that was so slow that you could see men in orange tights and jerseys hanging out on the medians.
One Browns party camper had to pushed by a bunch of fans because it appeared to have run out of gas. Tailgaters waited for hours just to try to get into the Cleveland Municipal Lot.
"Two and a half hours now," shouted one fan when he was asked how long he waited to get into the lot.
It seems a dog gone shame the city didn't stick to what they did last year to ease traffic jams leading up to the Muni lot. Last year after the first game traffic debacle a decision was made to open the lot earlier than seven a.m.
"They definitely need to open this earlier so we can get in here. It will save a lot of problems," yelled someone else who had been parked along the highway.
In fact, some Muni lot regulars found themselves setting up their tailgate party in an entirely different place after being turned away.
"The Muni lot was full, but the parking lot was not, but they were still cutting off all traffic that was going to it," said Ryan Ryel of Mentor.
"It's pretty frustrating because every year everybody knows what to do, and everybody has a schedule that they go by, and it's totally thrown out of whack this year which is totally frustrating," explained Mark Mackura of Madison.
But the tailgate party must go on, and despite everything, Browns fans don't seem to have lost sight of the bigger picture.
"All that matters is a Browns victory today. So we are just going to party here, and have a good time," said Steve McCale of Girard with a smile.

Top of the agenda
- The Regulator's revised guidance on the employer covenant
- Finance Bill 2015/16 laid before Parliament
Ombudsman's determination
Pensions Regulator
Top of the agenda
1. The Regulator's revised guidance on the employer covenant
The Pensions Regulator has replaced its 2010 guidance on the employer covenant. The revised guidance, "Assessing and monitoring the employer covenant", has been prompted by:
- The Regulator's revised Code of Practice on defined benefit (DB) funding of June 2014; and
- The Regulator's latest objective to "minimise any adverse impact on sustainable growth of an employer".
(To read our summary of the 2014 revised Code of Practice, click here)
On the whole, there are no surprises in the guidance. The guidance provides a useful "handbook" on assessing and monitoring the covenant and an important reference point in funding negotiations between trustees and the employer. The 23 examples, although simple, are particularly helpful in aiding understanding of the employer covenant in practical situations.
The employer covenant
The guidance identifies three key aspects of the employer covenant, the "legal obligation and financial ability" of the employer to support its DB scheme:
- Legal – the nature and enforceability of the obligations to support the scheme. The covenant assessment should focus on entities with a legal obligation to support the scheme. The guidance warns trustees against relying on the continued support of entities without a legal obligation although it may be reasonable to rely on informal support in the short term in certain circumstances.
- Scheme related – the funding needs of the scheme, now and in the future.
- Financial – the ability of the employer to contribute cash when required.
Monitoring the covenant
As a minimum, trustees are expected to undertake a full covenant review at each valuation; they should also monitor the covenant regularly between formal reviews.
Monitoring of the assessment must be proportionate, bearing in mind, scheme and employer circumstances such as:
- structure of the employer (simple or complex);
- size of the employer relative to the size of the scheme; and
- ability of the employer to generate cash flow relative to the scheme's funding needs.
These factors will dictate how frequently the covenant should be monitored and in what depth.
Expert covenant advice
Guidance is also given on when expert covenant advice may be required. Thankfully, the guidance does not state that trustees should routinely seek the help of an expert covenant adviser. Expert advice may be necessary, however, where there is a lack of objectivity or expertise required to perform an appropriate assessment.
Employer's sustainable plans for "growth"
The guidance reiterates the key message of the revised Code of practice on DB funding that trustees should put in place funding solutions that minimise any adverse impact on the employer's sustainable growth plans. Trustees are reminded that an employer that is able to invest in the future growth of its business is better equipped to continue to fund the scheme.
Trustees must, however, take care in distinguishing between what are genuine investment costs and what are business expenses. For instance, replacing obsolete assets is likely to be a business expense and not an investment cost.
Trustees must assess the impact of the growth plans on the employer covenant.
Trustees should not accept lower deficit repair contributions from the employer where the investment is outside of the employer or the employer will not benefit from it unless appropriate mitigation for the pension scheme, such as a parent company guarantee, is provided.
Non-associated multi-employer schemes and not-for-profit organisations
Specific issues that might arise in relation to non-associated multi-employer schemes (NAMES) and not-for-profit organisations are covered in the appendices to the guidance. In relation to NAMES, the guidance covers:
- Key points to consider when assessing the employer covenant, such as the likelihood of an employer withdrawing from the scheme;
- Factors to take into account when assessing contribution affordability;
- How contribution liabilities should be shared between various employer(s);
- Downside of setting a deficit recovery plan that only reflects the weakest or strongest employer(s).
The main body of the guidance also considers specific issues around last man standing schemes and schemes that have partial wind-up rules.
The examples
The examples given provide useful focus on the issues that may arise in practice. They cover matters such as:
- When it might be appropriate to take external covenant advice.
- Impact of different types of guarantees (a section 75 or PPF compliant guarantee) or an undertaking from a "non-participating employer" to support the scheme that is not supported by a legal obligation.
- The impact of the capital structure of the employer i.e. the debt/equity ratio, on the covenant.
- A request from an employer to reduce deficit repair contributions when dividends are being paid – trustees are recommended to make a counter-proposal whereby all stakeholders contribute equitably to investment in sustainable growth and share in its benefits.
- The impact on the covenant of intra-group trading, intra-group receivable balances, group cash pooling and debt arrangements within the employer's group.
The Pensions Regulator expects the trustee board "as a whole" to put in practice the principles outlined in the "At a glance" and the introduction sections of the guidance. Trustees who are assessing the covenant themselves are also expected to read and apply the principles in section 2 of the guidance, which explains how to assess the legal obligation and financial ability of the employer to support the funding needs and investment risks of the scheme.
Most well-run schemes generally would adopt the key principles of the guidance. For others, the guidance emphasises the level of involvement required from the trustees in assessing and monitoring the covenant.
The Regulator intends to produce further guidance to help trustees "navigate the DB Code", including guides on integrated risk management and investment strategy.
The guidance emphasises the importance of covenant assessment in the context of employer-related events such as mergers and acquisitions, restructurings or share buy-backs. However, there is very little focus on such events in the guidance. Other guidance issued by the Regulator (such as its "Clearance" guidance of 2010) does contain guidance on the employer covenant in the context of commercial transactions and restructurings – it is hoped that the Regulator will update these in due course.
2. Finance Bill 2015/16 made before Parliament
The Finance Bill 2015/16 has been laid before Parliament. The Bill implements many of the changes announced in the Summer Budget 2015.
Reduction in the annual allowance for high earners
From 6 April 2016, high earners with income of over £150,000 (including the value of pension contributions) will have a smaller annual allowance. The reduction in the annual allowance will be applied on a tapered basis, so that the allowance will be reduced by £1 for every £2 that the income exceeds £150,000, up to a maximum reduction of £30,000. This will mean that those earning £210,000 and over can contribute only £10,000 to their pension tax-free.
The adding back of pensions contributions prevents individuals using salary sacrifice to 'duck' the 150k threshold. Employer contributions are also included and for defined benefit (DB) and cash balance schemes; these will be valued using the existing annual allowance methodology.
The taper will not be applied if income (excluding any pension savings) is under £110,000.
Those who are subject to the New Money Purchase annual allowance rules will also be subject to the tapering rules.
Carry forward relief will be available but will be based on the unused tapered allowance.
Provisions will be introduced to combat avoidance activity, where arrangements are deliberately made to reduce an employee's income threshold in a particular tax year so as to duck the effects of the tapering rules.
Alignment of pension input periods for the tax year from April 2016
In order to facilitate the tapered reduction in the annual allowance, the pension input period (PIP) will be aligned with the tax year after 5 April 2016. In the run up to this change, all PIPs open on 8 July 2015 (the date of the Summer Budget) will be deemed to have ended on that date. Special annual allowance rules will apply (as shown in the diagram below).
The period from 6 April 2015 to 8 July 2015 is referred to as the "pre-alignment tax year". The period from 9 July 20inance Bill 2015/16 ma15 to 5 April 2016 is referred to as the "post-alignment tax year".
There will be a double annual allowance of £80k in the pre-alignment tax year (plus any carry forward from the previous tax year).
Annual allowance will be nil in the post-alignment tax year, although £40k of unused annual allowance may be carried forward from the pre-alignment period to this period plus any annual allowance available under the 3 year carry forward rule.

Money Purchase Allowance
Similar rules will apply in relation to the new Money Purchase Annual Allowance (i.e. for individuals who have taken their benefits flexibly under the Budget 2014 Flexibility Provisions). So, for the pre-alignment tax year, members who have taken their benefits flexibly, will get a double annual allowance of £20k (as opposed to the standard £10k) for any DC savings they make and a double adjusted allowance of £60k for any defined benefit savings they make.
Death benefits
Under the changes to the taxation of death benefits introduced under the Taxation of Pensions Act 2014, if a member dies after the age of 75, the beneficiary can take the whole pot as a lump sum, but this is taxed at 45%; if passed on as drawdown, the member is taxed at the marginal rate. (For our summary of the changes to death benefits, click here. The 45% charge will be removed for certain lump sum death benefits from 6 April 2016. Tax will be payable at the receipient's marginal rate instead.
Schemes may wish to consider amending their rules so as to place a cap on contributions or benefit accrual so that members are not caught by the tapered annual allowance rules. Schemes must consider communicating the above changes to members, where appropriate. Care, in particular, must be taken to ensure that the changes regarding the annual allowance in the transitional tax periods are explained clearly (given the complexity of the provisions). Schemes may also experience a high call on their scheme pays facility as potentially more members are caught by the new rules and are hit with the annual allowance charge.
Ombudsman's determination
3. Delay of almost a year in paying death benefits pending further enquiries was reasonable
The Pensions Ombudsman has rejected a complaint by a beneficiary that she had suffered significant financial loss because the trustee of the self-invested personal pension plan (SIPP) had delayed paying the death benefits to her by almost a year.
The Complainant, Mrs Barnicoat had been nominated by her partner to receive death benefits from the SIPP under an "expression of wish" form. On the death of her partner, the trustee sought to make the payment also to her. However, the deceased's two children, who were the executors of the estate, wrote to the trustee that Mrs Barnicoat's relationship with the deceased had broken down before his death; they asked the trustee for more time to investigate their father's financial affairs and the circumstances following his death and to defer making any final decision on the payment of the death benefits until they had had the opportunity to submit more evidence. The trustee gave the deceased's children more time to submit any relevant information and wrote to Mrs Barnicoat of their decision to do so.
Although it received further correspondence from the children, the trustee was of the opinion that none of the additional information provided was enough for it to go against the deceased's expression of wish to pay the death benefits to Mrs Barnicoat. The executors asked for further time in order to obtain probate and access further documents pertinent to their queries. Meanwhile, Mrs Barnicoat appointed solicitors to contact the trustee about the delay and to ask for further information about the nature of the challenge by the deceased's children. Not receiving sufficient information from the children, the trustee eventually paid the death benefit to Mrs Barnicoat almost a year after the death of her partner.
The Ombudsman held that it was not unreasonable for the trustee to delay paying the death benefits to Mrs Barincoat and allowing time for the deceased's children to make more enquiries into the father's financial affairs and the circumstances of his death. He also held that it was not unreasonable for the trustee not to disclose the full reasons behind the investigation to Mrs Barnicoat.
He made the following points:
- In reaching the decision as to who a death benefit should be paid to, the trustee must consider all relevant facts and ignore anything which is irrelevant.
- The nomination form was a factor to be considered in reaching a decision. The trustee has to check in these circumstances when the nomination form had been completed by the deceased and whether there had been any change in his domestic or financial circumstances which may cast doubt on the validity of the wishes expressed.
- The trustee had to ask itself if there were any reasons why they should not award the death benefit to Mrs Barnicoat and to determine whether there were other potential beneficiaries.
Regarding Mrs Barincoat's complaint that she had suffered a financial loss, the Ombudsman held that she had a duty to mitigate that loss. The trustee had offered twice to assist Mrs Barincoat financially by making an interim payment from the SIPP to her (this was on the basis that she would not have to repay the amount whatever the decision); by refusing that offer, Mrs Barnicoat had not mitigated her loss. Moreover, she had recouped that loss when the death benefit had been paid to her. The Ombudsman did, however, agree that the £500 in compensation that the trustee had awarded to her for distress and inconvenience was reasonable.
4. The Regulator's FAQs on the new governance standards and caps on charges requirements
The Pensions Regulator has produced FAQs on the requirements introduced in April this year in relation to governance and administration of occupational DC schemes and caps on charges. Broadly under the new duties:
- With some exceptions, charges and default arrangements in money purchase schemes used for auto-enrolment purposes must be capped.
- DC occupational pension schemes must have an appointed Chair who signs the scheme's annual report and accounts.
- There will be further governance standards for occupational money purchase schemes to comply with. Trustees must:
- explain how their combined knowledge and understanding enables them to properly exercise their functions and how the current knowledge and understanding requirements under the Pensions Act 2004 have been met;
- assure themselves that the core scheme financial transactions (such as transfers and investment of contributions) are processed promptly and accurately;
- consider whether costs and charges borne by members represent "good value";
- Trustees must prepare a statement of investment principles for the default arrangement and to ensure that the investment strategy and performance are reviewed at least every three years.
For more on these requirements, click here
The FAQs contain a reminder that for many schemes there will already be a Chair that will have particular responsibility for the effectiveness of the trustee board. The new legislation does not affect this. The Chair's only additional responsibility under the new legislation will be to formally sign the Chair's statement.
Regarding the chargees controls, the FAQs contain a reminder that a scheme can make use of the 'adjustment measures' provisions in the legislation if it is unlikely to be able to comply with the charge cap for a particular default arrangement. The measure may, however, only be used before 6 October 2015, except in exceptional circumstances. Trustees must additionally notify the employer, scheme members and the Pensions Regulator at least one month before relying on the adjustment measure.
The FAQs provide an important reminder for trustees to ensure that they are compliant with the new duties in relation to governance and administration and caps on charges. Compliance with the requirements needs to be confirmed, in most cases, in the scheme return. Penalties, including fines, apply where schemes are non-compliant.

The photo does not do justice to this beautiful necklace. The design is gorgeous, and it is exquisitely and skillfully executed. I love the shape of the stylized snake, and the gemstones are the perfect touch. The chain is also a perfect complement to the pendant. Because of the unusual shape of the pendant, I had thought it might need a lot of fussing to get it to hang right when I'm wearing it, but I was delighted to discover that it hangs *perfectly* every single time. Not only is Ms. Llanes an incredibly gifted designer and artist (and how!), but she also has expert understanding of the physics of how metals hang and lay when worn. I am 100% delighted with this purchase. I get compliments every time I wear this beauty. It has quickly become my favorite necklace. And I refer everyone who will listen to Novica and specifically to Ms. Llanes. What an incredible talent! I could not be more pleased with my purchase. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ms. Llanes! I will be back!

It sounds like the beginning of a really bad joke, but sometimes truth is indeed stranger than fiction. What happens when you quadruple the weight limit on an Arctic ice road in the midst of an unseasonably warm winter? The 'punchline' in this case is pretty much what you'd expect—a heavy tanker truck carrying fuel breaks through the ice and gets stuck.
The incident occurred on March 5 on an ice road near the city of Deline in Canada's Northwest Territory. That road crosses into the Arctic circle, making its path particularly vulnerable to the unusual warm weather Canada has experienced this year. Until recently, a tanker that size would not have been legally permitted to drive along the route. But just prior to the incident, the Government of the Northwest Territory (GNWT) upped the weight limit on the Great Bear Ice Road, from 10 metric tons to 40 metric tons, and tweeted about it happily on March 2.
Related: Alaska is so warm they are trucking in snow for the Iditarod
The fuel tankers' front tires broke through the ice and the truck sank partially under the surface. A spokeswoman for GNWT Transportation said nobody was injured during the incident, and that the tanker didn't leak any of its potentially hazardous cargo (heating fuel). Other officials said there are no evidence that the driver exceeded the speed limit or drove recklessly to contribute to the incident. The ice road was closed temporarily so authorities could drain the tanker, right the truck, and move it out of the way. After several days, one lane of the ice road was reopened for traffic, though it's unclear whether the weight restrictions were altered. Reportedly, 11 other heavy tanker trucks successfully crossed this portion of the ice road prior to the fuel tanker breaking through the surface, but apparently 12 was just one too many for the warming ice to withstand.
GNWT Transportation said on Twitter that an investigation is underway to learn more about what happened.

The Democratic National Committee has joined the administration's campaign against talk-host Rush Limbaugh, proposing to place an anti-Limbaugh billboard message "in Rush Limbaugh's hometown of West Palm Beach, Fla."
The DNC placed a banner on its homepage inviting visitors to participate in a contest to determine what message of 10 words or less will be placed on the billboard. After visitors complete a form and submit their entry, they are also invited to make a contribution to the DNC.
The Web site declares: "We'll go through all of the slogans you submit, and the winner will have his or her submission appear on a billboard in Rush Limbaugh's hometown of West Palm Beach, Florida -- and receive a free T-shirt featuring the winning slogan."
On his Thursday program, Limbaugh pointed out that West Palm Beach is not his residence – he lives in nearby Palm Beach, Fla., where billboards violate city ordinances.
Limbaugh invited his listeners to log onto the DNC site and submit a laudatory message, rather than a critical one.
"First I want to make sure they're spending their own money on this" rather than money from the fiscal stimulus bill, Limbaugh quipped.

Family members often provide for the long-term care of a loved one with Special Needs by leaving that person with an inheritance to cover long-term care costs.
When an inheritance is left directly to a person with Special Needs, there can be tax complications, reduction or elimination of public benefits, and the recipient may not be able to manage the funds themselves.
The Kabb Law Firm assists families with the difficult decisions that must be made when a person with Special Needs is made a beneficiary. We can set up a Life Care Plan that establishes a Special Needs Trust, identifies long-term care, and manages and monitors the recipient's public benefits.
Our Public Benefits Coordinator is a partner throughout this process, proactively identifying changes in the benefits system. Additionally, our knowledge of the care needs helps us ensure that we attain and protect the public benefits for the special needs client.

Much as we want to laugh at this insanely bonkers trailer for forthcoming Wii U title Spin the Bottle, especially when it suggests grabbing a rooster, its lack of bald space marines, reflective car exhaust pipes and a realistic likeness of Wayne Rooney makes it somehow... more appealing.
The game's in development for Wii U, and is played entirely using the console's second screen gamepad. It's a multiplayer title that does indeed generate a virtual bottle on the pad's display, with players supposed to sit around it in a circle and respond to its demands. Dancing, jumping, spinning around and various other forms of physical shame await. [YouTube via Kotaku]

When we last left off this scene had occured:
Your crew rows you across the river as they discuss how they think the keep stones would best be distributed for the coming battle. These citizens of Fallcrest are downright chipper about the prospects of the new ghostly soldiers.
As the boat bumps up against the quay and the rowers work to tie the boat down, Sunlord Typhus and several guardsmen come running out of a nearby house to you. They arrive and help you all out of the boat, as they do so something seems wrong.
"Please hurry. We must talk, but not out in the open." Typhus says, his voice strained.
They lead you at a quick pace back into the violated home that is sheltering the rest of the guards. In the gloom you can see that they are clearly upset. When everyone is safely inside Typhus starts up, choking back tears.
"My lady, while you were away we cleaned up the square where the fighting had taken place. Things were going smoothly until a patrol came, a couple pirates and several devils. We hid from them and overheard that they were there to discover why the flow of material had suddenly stopped.
They discovered the remains of the fight, and made a cursory search before leaving. As they passed my church they stopped, I could not tell why but they investigated it. As they did so they were joined by a pair of cambions from the air. There appeared to be something of an argument and the cambions turned their brutal flaming swords on the doors.
The people inside had not had time to reinforce the barricades like they had been. Those horrid devils were through it in but a minute. The invaders rushed inside, and then…and then…" He pauses to breath and consider what he is saying.
"There was nothing we could do my lady, you must understand. We would have been slaughtered if we had tried to stand up to those cambions by ourselves. When they started to drag people out we could see just how invincible those devils are. Knife strikes and cudgel blows did not seem to faze them, they easily carried and pulled the people inside fighting or not. Like children ma'am…like children. We would have died, and would not be here to tell you what happened. It pains all of us, truly it does, but it was the wise…"
"Enough," Lady Markelhay cuts him off, "I understand. What of my husband, and the wounded? All dead or taken?" She says sternly.
"All taken, though we could not tell if they were dead or not. Nobody was left in the church; the devils saw to it that it was thoroughly defiled as well before they left."
"I am but a farmer's priest, not trained to battle these sorts of evils," He trails off and backs away.
"Well, today that makes little difference. It appears our situation has become most extreme." She says looking outside at the lengthening shadows of the coming evening. Lady Markelhay sighs deeply to calm herself as she turns to the party to discuss battle plans.
And So…
Down by the bridge the gathering of an army could be seen. Pirates and devils by the score, huddled around war machines rolling toward the north bridge of Fallcrest. Kelesk hurriedly cast a ritual of Battlefield Elocution to assist in coordinating the coming battle.
With blade, axe, spell, and grit the defenders of Fallcrest attacked. They found it difficult to make headway at first into the ranks of the enemy. They concentrated on protecting themselves as their numbers were few and far weaker than the host the assailed.
Then charged forth a mighty gorilla! Bashing, smashing, and tearing. Within minutes the leadership of the invaders lay broken. Many charges followed, whittling away at both sides. Timmy climbed the war machines and tried to pull the desecrated corpses from them. Shodan tried to save the captured citizens. But the enemy was strong and would not loosen its grip on their prizes. It took Voular's mighty fists battering them to allow some advantage to be gained.
But even Voular was not fast enough to save the bridge tower, it's doors shattered by the batteringram and the people inside slain by the onrush of devils. For a moment things were desperate at that tower, but Timmy lept into the breach and held. He stood their, slaying the pirates who ran in terror from Shodan.
Voular's strength was bested only once that day; as he tried to push the great machines of war into the Nentir River. Failing that, he turned to crushing the bones of the enemy as Shodan teleported to the south and after short minutes brought back with him fresh soldiers to battle the foe.
As the battle raged, the Wizard's Tower of Nimzaran – Septarch of Fallcrest, exploded! Flinging the corpse of Cambions about. Though it strange magic was clearly involved as the shattered ruins mearly hung in the air and never fell.
Kelesk, great healer and protector, was challenged by the remaining champion of dark forces. A great cry went out amongst the heroes as he was defeated in combat. But Voular did avenge him, destroying the champions body despite his grief at Kelesk humiliation.
Sensing the battle turning against them, the foe set fire to all that would burn. Using pitch where their flaming weapons would suffice. In the choking smoke and blistering flame that covered the battlefield Timmy was finally able to recover the bodies of the fall (in particular the Lord Markelhay) and Kelesk succeeded where Shodan couldn't, saving the captured citizens of Fallcrest.
Then from behind, Armos Kamroth and his followers joined the battle. Assaulting the places where innocents huddled and trying to drive the heroes from the bridge.
Renewed in strength and desperate the invaders concentrated their efforts on killing Lady Markelhay and Cheery. Shodan, sensing danger, spirited Lady Markelhay to safety.
The battled ended in a great roar and peel of thunder. Timmy, summoning the divine strength of Bahamut in one great swipe did slay Kamroth. As his body fell, his supporters courage fell too and all who were left on the battlefield did run in fear of the heroes' terrible visages.
The last light of day passed and a cool autumn rain began to fall. The fires died, the wounded were tended to, and the victors found soft place to rest their heads.

Facial recognition with Google and Facebook
You can view their profile and send a message via Facebook. Sharing your data is important. You will certainly be able to indicate with Facebook whether or not you wish to remain incognito for Google Glass.
Government services have had facial recognition based on images and video at their disposal since the 90s, and this possibility was introduced a couple of years ago in among others: Picasa Web Albums and Facebook.
Images can also automatically be tagged with the details of that person recognized by Google Glass when you take a picture or video of Facebook friends.

Why make content searchable for Google in a selfmade content management system, if you can put it immediately in Google itself by publishing on You Tube, Blogger, Picasa, Calendar & Maps and then can integrate it back into a website? This creates for the customers also several search results from multiple web locations instead of only from one website. Read more

An AU armoured vehicle crashed into a house killing a mother and her five children in the southern port of Marka on Sunday. Earlier, soldiers had fired into a minibus which killed six passengers. Thousands of soldiers appointed by AU are planted in Somalia to help the government fight Islamist militant group called Al-Shabab.

Discussion in 'Transformers Toy Discussion' started by Crazymadman, Feb 5, 2009.
which one do you think is better and which one should i buy, i think i might go with hasbro.
I have both...If u want to save money go for the classic the henkei mirage is a lil nicer but not by that much.
Hasbro version is more visually interesting and detailed. (to me anyway) The chrome spoilers on the Henkei look quite nice though.
I prefer the Henkei (I'm a Henkei whore) version for it's more modest paint apps, though I have to admit I had a difficult time deciding which one to get. To say the least, it's one of the better Hasbro classics figures.
I LOVE my Classics Mirage. But I'd have bought the henkei if I had the money and patience to wait for it to ship. Retail instant gratification there.
I have the Henkei myself. The chrome makes it feel more g1ish.
I don't really like the chrome on Henkei Mirage, and I do like the sponsorship logos on Hasbro Mirage. Plus the Hasbro Mirage has three red stripes on each arm, while the Henkei Mirage has grey and red stripes on his arms; I prefer the consistency of the Hasbro version.
Henkei > Hasbro Mirage. ;D
At this point, there's not a lot of price difference between the two, because one is antiquated and the other is imported....so it comes down to which one you like better.
Henkei has very G1-appropriate chrome and a darker, richer shade of blue.
Classics has lots of little sponsor in-jokes, a lighter blue color, and some of the body parts are grey instead of the same blue as on Henkei, which adds a little visual interest by breaking up the color scheme a bit.
If neither design appeals to you one over the other, then take note that the original classics mirage was produced before Hasbro QC went down the shitter, and the molds were still fresh. So you'll probably end up with an overall nicer, tighter figure with Classics.
I have both, but if I were to only keep one I'd stick with Henkei.
I went with Henkei and I like it, but the Hasbro one is nice. I like the Witwicky bit on the back end, that was a nice touch. It's a tossup to me; one of the figures where I can't argue strongly either why as to which is better because they're both slick (I just prefer Henkei's for most figures). Get both if you can, but you can't go wrong either way.
I have the Hasbro myself, "Witwicky Sparkplugs" sold me.
got my mirage last year as part of a group buy along with my hasbro astro train and my mirage was a hasbro one, last 2007 it was a peg warmer but due to some unknown events or hype he became extinct then came henkei mirage and now its on sale here for like $ 7.00 = 350 php
at this point the japanese one will probably be cheaper. or if you just want the mold, then i suggest one of the two con' versions.

That's funny - I just thought I'd refresh this site even though it's an off-day, and lo and behold!
My take on River as I'm starting to look at it - which is starting back at "The Time of Angels", and I really should get to watching that - is that she threatens to take over the narrative. She threatens the Doctor's position as the all-knowing (for plot purposes) mysterious character. She can fly the TARDIS better than he can. She knows where she is going. Etc. So he is rather frustrated by her at the beginning. This never quite goes away. The whole thing is a matter of things happening because they were supposed to happen, because of the way time works when you become a time traveler. They don't have much control over it. Part of why the River relationship is different in "The Angels Take Manhattan" is because it's after the fact for both of them. And she's hardened by all of it. As an audience we expected a normal love story, and so did she, but it didn't turn out that way. The Doctor had been afraid of her since the beginning. (Well, I'm not entirely sure about "Silence in the Library", but definitely after that.)
While I fully intend to upgrade my contribution to a higher level once I'm sure what I can afford near the end of the Kickstarter, I'm now your first backer at the $1 level on the chance I can read your Rose entry early.
"The longest one of the project to date, and God willing a record I am never going to come close to challenging."- from your Deadly Assassin post. It looks like Rose wins, and I suspect Logopolis was in the ballpark as well.
Currently the tally is:
Deadly Assassin: 12,705
Rose: 13,149
Logopolis: 13,628
It's not impossible that Rose will find another 500 words between now and Wednesday. There's a quick side point I want to add in, and I'll give it a once-over before it posts, which often involves adding.
You should watch Broadchurch...very Twin Peaks like structure without the weird/sillynessLink | Reply
Aw, the weird/sillyness is what I *liked* about Twin Peaks!Link | Reply
Comment deleted 2 years, 12 months ago
Is there another episode since the series launched that is going to get anywhere close to that length? The 50th is the only one I can think of with that much weight.Link | Reply
Without the weird/sillieness Twin Peaks would have been really dry and banal.Link | Reply
I don't know. I could probably do that much on Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead if I wanted to. I know I could on Big Bang/Pandorica Opens. The End of Time could probably sustain it. Hell, Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways could.
But those entries, along with The Three Doctors, the TV movie, and, to a lesser extent, a couple of others are enormously taxing on a personal and psychological level. They are not so much written as built inside of me and then surgically removed, fully formed, onto the page. I love them and am enormously proud of them, but I just can't on a regular basis.
Equally, I can't end the blog without at least one more after Rose, so.
I so look forward to next Wednesday for the totally unrestrained Phil Sandifer. I really do think you're changing the way people think about Doctor Who, and that the Eruditorum marks a groundbreaking change in Doctor Who criticism and fandom.
I'm also now a $20 (from a Canadian) backer of the Hartnell 2.0 Kickstarter. I'll likely kick in some extra money after my end-of-April paycheck for an upgrade to the Logopolis art book reward. And I very badly want to get enough people together to make your $1000 Kickstarter pledge level that gets you re-enacting the death of Soldeed. Maybe I'll start a Kickstarter to raise money to make that pledge line on your Kickstarter.
You brought it on yourself.
Broadchurch will give you much to ponder. How Chibnall can be a writer of such erratic quality, The many Doctor Who connections - apart from Tennant there's David (Hartnell) Bradley Olivia (Eleventh Hour) Coleman ( whose performance is stunning incidently), not to mention Rory the Roman playing a vicar! The cinematography and editing is excellent and the Twin Peaks mood is all to do with the psychogeographic connection between murder, landscape and collective mood amongst a small rural (in this case English seaside) community.Link | Reply
The whole family were gripped by Broadchurch. I can't really see the Twin Peaks connection myself (except for one character and the outsider/insider detective pairing), but I haven't seen that in ages and might if I watched it again.
It was refreshing to follow through the investigation of, and consequences generated by, a single murder, rather than the "who's dead this week?" vibe of most crime-related shows.
Alice Morgan, who plays the Irene Adler sort of role of simultaneously being a villain and a romantic interest...
I always think that's unfair to Irene Adler that so many terrible adaptations have turned her into "a villain" - utter cobblers and a sign that all those terrible writers are threatened by an intelligent and independent woman, so she has to be evil. Read the original story to see how she's been traduced.
So for me Alice isn't Irene at all. She's plainly the Joker, and Luther becomes Batman without the homoeroticism.
Hm, I want to rewatch Twin Peaks now! I get the connection, though the focus in Boradchurch is different so it's not just the boring bits of Twin Peaks.
Definitely agree on Broadchurch's engrossing cinematography. For me, the Doctor Who connections faded into the background very quickly - I was watching a different show, and enjoying it for what it was. Although, after watching the last episode, we did tease a friend who hadn't seen the finale that David Tennant's character regenerates into Matt Smith...
My daughter worked out whodunnit, by the way, though she didn't quite get the "why". I didn't get it, so the level of mystery was about right for us - hard, but not impossible.
I'm kind of sorry there's going to be a second series. Chris Chibnall designed it as a one-off, and it's a self-contained story. I'd rather he tackled something different, though I can see the commercial reasoning. Anyway, all power to him for eight hours of gripping TV.
And Ripley fits nicely into place as Luther's Robin...Link | Reply
Not being familiar with any of his non-Doctor Who work (indeed, I hadn't heard of him prior to this), what strikes me most is how uneven he is, having succesfully written both the worst (Akhaten) and best (Hide) episodes of the season so far, and nothing in between.Link | Reply
Perhaps I am not remembering it correctly, but Moffatt's Adler certainly seems to have been pretty villainous, to the extent that Holmes' desire to protect her seems rather.. odd. As far as I recall, she fulfils her obligation to Moriarty, even after knowing what the consequences would be. Which is, of course, not the Adler seen in Doyle's original story.Link | Reply
I'm actually watching through Luther right now and, some light spoilers, but Ian Reed is totally the 21st century Mike Yates.Link | Reply
[peeeeeeet here - OpenID is playing up]
I don't see that much of a difference in the scripts. If anything, Rings is narrowly superior in that it at least comes close to delivering on its initial promise; it's let down by some staggeringly inept direction that renders several sequences muddled and confusing that have no need to be. Hide is just a random hurling together of lots of popular "spooky" tropes without much apparent interest in coherence. It has the better set-pieces of the two - I love Clara and the TARDIS bitching at each other - but it still feels rather lazy and sketchy overall.
I would say, more generally, though, how maddeningly inconsistent this season as a whole has been. Some of the directing / editing faults are page one stuff, and this is from an era with notably better art direction than under Davies. The series hasn't lurched around this much since Davison, and then there was the dubious excuse that the producer couldn't judge scripts and hired someone who didn't give a toss to edit them.
I dunno, Season Six was also pretty uneven, it just managed to concentrate most of the good episodes in the first half and most of the bad ones in the second, making it hard to notice. I mean, it's kind of mind-boggling that something as sublime as "The Doctor's Wife" shared a season with train wrecks like "The Wedding of River Song" or "Let's Kill Hitler."Link | Reply

I agree; perhaps it's just accentuated because it's from episode to episode. It might be the move away from two parters that makes it seem more uneven to me. But even so, I think LKH and WoRS, as much as Moffat had written himself into a corner he couldn't easily get out of, are competently mounted productions; I don't remember basic stuff like shot-matching being as much an issue as it is this year.Link | Reply
While I'm eager to get to Rose and a discussion of NuWho, I'm even more eager to get to The 11th Hour and the Moffatt Era. Because the flaws in his approach to DW have become glaring enough for me to theorize a unified explanation for them. In a nutshell, I think Stephen Moffat is what you get when you take Ian Levine and give him (a) direct production-level control and (b) make sure he's competent and occasionally brilliant at writing and producing. The result is a sort of "ascended anorak." That is my only explanation for the 45 minutes of television I just sat through that was a competently produced bit of television which, nevertheless, had no reason for existing other than Moffatt's personal disappointment with the last episode of The Invasion of Time.Link | Reply
It's a bit of a British "The Killing" to be honest, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.Link | Reply

Good f***ing riddance
cartoon from argenpress
Augusto Pinochet, an object lesson in "why they hate us," is dead at 91. Should I say only the good die young? Should I wonder if there is an afterlife, and if he'll meet some of the people whom he had killed and "disappeared" there?(some of them are undoubtedly pictured below, in an image from the allegedly CIA-supported coup of September 11th, 1973 that brought him to power for 17 long years in Chile.)
upi photo
What I do wonder is how many Americans, especially younger people, know enough about our not-so-ancient history to understand what I mean when I describe him as an object lesson in why large numbers of people all over the world resent US foreign policy. I attended high school 1978-82, and nobody told me about it then. Rightly or not, I'm guessing today's high schoolers generally get an even more oblivious trip through history than I did. (God help us all if Katie Couric and the History Channel are supposed to be taking up the slack.) I also think it's interesting that he died on International Human Rights day.

quiz question for the smart-alecky: Some say famous people "die in threes"; apropo of Pinochet what significance(if any) is there to the recent deaths of Jeanne Kirkpatrick and Milton Friedman?

text: This sound so delicious. For those of you who don't like having something sweet in your grilled cheese. I think a brie and ham grilled cheese would be scrumptious too! INGREDIENTS: 1 cup blackberries ½ cup sugar 2 tablespoons Merlot 8 ounces double cream brie 8 slices whole grain bread 4 slices honey ham 1 tablespoon butter DIRECTIONS FOR BLACKBERRY JAM: 1.Combine the blackberries, sugar, and wine in a shallow, wide-bottomed pan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the jam is thick, syrupy, and very fragrant – about 10 minutes. Let cool. DIRECTIONS: 1. Use a sharp paring knife to remove the rind from the brie. 2. Discard the rind and cut the cheese into small pieces, about ¼-inch each. 3. Lay 4 piece of bread on a flat surface. Scatter each piece of bread with ¼ of the cheese. Top with a slice of ham. Slather each of the remaining sliced of bread with 1 tablespoon of blackberry jam (save any leftover jam for another use) and place, jam-side down, on top of each sandwich. 4. Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle set over medium heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the sandwiches. 5. Cook without disturbing for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. 5. Flip and cook another 2minutes; cover the pan and cook another 1 minute.

Tomorrow, Wednesday the 6th of February, the Investment Club of the university has organized a special seminar given by Mr. Andrew Hazell, a consultant with more than 20 years of experience advising IPOs and financial transactions of international major corporations. Mr. Hazell will be focusing on how to manage PR in the face of stock market fluctuations to shareholders and the public at large.
For those who are interested in attending, the seminar is open to non-club members and will start at 15:00 in the Refectory of the university campus in Segovia with a special half-hour introduction by Sara Farooqi, professor of finance and ex-investment banker. Mr. Hazell's seminar will begin at approximately 15:45 and last about an hour. Following both presentations, there will be a Q&A session with an opportunity to network over a catered selection of coffee and pastries.
More regarding Mr. Hazell:
"Andrew started the agency Asesores 2000 in 1988 along with two prominent Spanish journalists and founded Dédalo Comunicación in 2002. Previously he worked for Alumax Corporation. Andrew specialises in multinational and financial clients and has worked on most of Spain's privatisations beginning in 1989. He has advised on more than 15 large financial transactions and IPO's over the last ten years and dealt with numerous crisis situations over the last decade. Andrew was educated at the University of Missouri where he studied Business Administration, and later studied at St. Louis University in Madrid.
Dédalo works with Spanish and multinational companies in Spain and Latin America such as Telefónica, Repsol, Goldman Sachs, Fidelity Investments, Blackstone and Starbucks, among others."

Mass production time again! Here are six [of eight] Bosch distributors for Saab V4 cars, completely disassembled, and with a zillion miles worth of grease and crud cleaned off. They are ready to have the bottom of the distributor housing rebushed. The housing "hogs out" at the bottom, with age and a jillion miles of useage. This wear causes the point gap [thus the dwell and the ignition timing] to fluctuate and the engine runs like crap. Note that the second housing from the right already has a steel bushing installed.
I use a bronze bushing...BUT...first the distributor housing must be reamed to a certain diameter. It is essential that the distributor be held perfectly square and the tool that I made [which is in the lathe chuck in this picture] does that job. You can see that several distributors have been drilled, thus the pile of aluminum FUZZ on the lathe bed.
You can see the bronze bushing set in place, just ready to be pressed into the distributor housing.
Once I get the bushing in place, I have to ream it to the shaft size, plus 0.003". This is a tedious process, but doing the job with a hand reamer makes sure I get the correct fit. Every distributor is a LITTLE DIFFERENT and has different amounts of wear--remember--these suckers are about 50 years old!
You can see the five distributor bodies with bronze bushings and the one with the previously installed steel bushing here. All the shafts have been fitted and they are ready to go back together again. Now the REAL work starts, as the points advance plates must be fitted and adjusted, a vacuum control unit fitted, and then the assembled unit has to go onto the SUN distributor test machine to set the advance curves. This usually means I get to take the suckers apart 2 or 3 times to adjust the mechanical advance gubbins to get the correct advance curve. Swearing usually helps. Quite a lot of swearing helps quite a lot more.
All eight completely reconditioned distributors are shown here. These all have points and a condenser installed. If the customer wants a Pertronix unit, I take out the points and condenser and install the P unit. Then I add a rotor, a cap and a new set of spark plug wires, and the bugger is ready to go into the customer's V4 engine, for another 100,000 miles. Good stuff!

Teacher Appreciation Week
May 1st through May 5th is designated as National Teacher Appreciation Week! Our teachers and staff work tirelessly day in and day out to create a positive learning environment for our children. In addition to the hours you see them at school, they spend a considerable amount of time planning lessons, meeting with teams, consulting colleagues, talking with parents and taking courses to improve their professional practice.
Our teachers encourage our children to do their best work academically and foster positive relationships that support students socially. They wipe runny noses, dry tears, and send scraped knees to the health suite. They always have an ear for the child who has hurt feelings and the parent looking for advice for supporting learning at home.
Last weekend The Mission Continues left little goodie bags for the teachers and put up posters in the main hallway. If you have the opportunity, take a minute this week to thank a teacher for all he or she does for our children.

You Must Follow This Sleeping Position During Pregnancy, Very Important!
Latest NewsPregnancy 2016-09-27 winexviv 24
It's important for us all to take care of our health, and if that means knowing the correct way to poop, then that too! But when someone is pregnant, this responsibility to take care of health doubles, because it now includes taking care of the budding baby's health too! And for just that sake, here we are with the correct way to sleep during pregnancy. Check it out.
It's an even better idea to sleep on your left side so that blood flow to the placenta increases. Also, habituate yourself to keep your legs and knees bent and place a pillow between your legs.
Sleeping on the back can cause problems with breathing, digestive issues, low blood pressure and back pain. In this position, the entire weight of your baby rests on your intestines and major blood vessels. It can also cause snoring. So it's a big NO!
