CRRC says the system is an upgrade on CBTC, with more than 20 additional functions including train start-up, dynamic and static self-testing, obstacle and derailment protection, and remote reset.
The system, which is compatible with conventional CBTC, provides a number of benefits including:
- enhanced operational flexibility
- improved capacity
- reduced labour requirements, and
- reduced energy requirements and emissions.
CRRC says the system supports both manned and unmanned operation.
“The FAO system is a fully automated and highly centralised train operation control system, which is a new generation of urban rail transit systems that automates the operation process using modern computing, communication, control, integrated monitoring and system integration technologies,” says Mr Shang Jing, CRRC Zhuzhou Institute general manager.
The automatic operation supports adjustable departure times as well as 24 hour operation, seven days a week. CRRC says the system will reduce human errors, stopping times and headways.
The system also improves energy efficiency by controlling the power supply for all trains in a sub-section of the network to improve the use of regenerative power.

This was a windy trip to say the least; 40mph most the trip but I have to admit this little plane lands really well in the high winds. The place I took it was Laveta, Colorado and the guy I met there was a veterinarian named Larry Moore. He and his wife were great people and their home in the mountains was beautiful. Larry took me all over the area the next day because I was grounded due to the weather and I got to see all kinds of cool animals and a super wild looking building — took a pic below. Sure is fun to work when you get to meet really cool people; Larry’s wife even cooked me Elk sausage for breakfast!

Combination Smoke/Heat Detectors
Combination smoke and heat detectors make for an important addition to any system. Monitoring a home or business for a fire is crucial. You will want to ensure that your system responds as quickly as possible if there is every a fire. The best way to do this is with combination smoke and heat detectors. With dual detection methods, these sensors respond quickly to all types of fires, and they provide supreme life-safety functionality.
As the name implies, a combination smoke detector will respond to both smoke and high heat. With any serious fire, there will be smoke. These sensor are specifically designed to detect these fine airborne particles and activate quickly during a fire. Meanwhile, the heat sensor responds to unusually high temperatures that would only be present during a fire. As long as one of these sensors activates, the device will alert the system and trigger a fire alarm.
Combination smoke and heat detectors are enrolled as 24-hour zones. This means that they can cause a fire alarm upon activating, regardless of whether the system is in an armed or disarmed state. This is important, as you will want to receive emergency help for a fire regardless of the current arming state. If you are at home sleeping with your system disarmed, a fire alarm can occur. A fire alarm can also occur if you are away from home with the system armed. Either way, your system will take appropriate action.
In order to take full advantage of a combination smoke and heat detector, you will definitely want to obtain alarm monitoring service for your system. This is the only way that your system will be able to send out alerts and notifications regarding a fire alarm. If you have central station monitoring, most jurisdictions will allow for automatic emergency fire dispatch in the event of a fire alarm. And if you have self-monitoring you can still receive text and/or email alerts regarding a fire alarm so that you can notify the fire department yourself. Either option is better than an unmonitored system.
Like most sensors, combination smoke and heat detectors are available in wireless and hardwired varieties. With the rise of wireless alarm systems, wireless sensors are now the most popular option. If you go this route, you must make sure the wireless combination smoke and heat detectors you use communicate at a wireless frequency that is compatible with your system. Hardwired smoke and heat detectors are normally used with hardwired systems only. But there are some wired to wireless converters like the Qolsys IQ Hardwire 16-F that will let you bring over wired smoke and heat detectors for use with a wireless panel.
Remember, you should install fire-safety sensors outside of all sleeping area, in hallways, and in large central locations. You should have at least one of these sensors installed on each floor of the building. This is the best way to ensure that your system responds as quickly as possible to a fire. Every second counts when it comes to a fire, and you want to make sure that these sensors will activate quickly. You should also test these sensors regularly to ensure proper working order. Daylight Savings Time is often seen as a good time to test these sensors.

Chasing down the Western Conference’s North Division lead, the Abbotsford Heat rattled off four straight wins in the last week to draw even with the Toronto Marlies.
Allowing just three goals in that four-game span, Heat goaltenders Barry Brust and Danny Taylor have been on fire.
Hosting the Hamilton Bulldogs last Tuesday, Taylor was less than welcoming. The 26-year-old kicked out 14 of 15 shots faced while defenseman Mike Matczak added a goal and an assist to beat the Bulldogs 3-1. Taylor was even more impressive Wednesday, turning aside 28 of 29 Bulldog shots while Tyler Ruegsegger’s shootout winner paced Abbotsford to a 2-1 win.
The momentum of back-to-back wins continued into another back-to-back set with the Milwaukee Admirals.
In his return to the Heat, Brett Carson scored what would hold up as the game-winner on the power play midway through the second period and Taylor made 24 saves to beat the Admirals 2-1.
Making his first start since January 4th, Brust subbed in for Taylor with equally successful results. Stopping all 30 shots faced, the former Calgary Hitmen netminder recorded his fourth shutout of the season and both Carson and Krys Kolanos scored for the second consecutive game to pace Abbotsford to their fourth consecutive victory.
The Heat improved to 21-12-3-4 and currently share the North Division lead with the Marlies at 49 points.
CARSON HEATING UP ABBOTSFORD
Playing 34 games for the Heat last season, Brett Carson had just two goals.
He’s already two-for-two this season.
Assigned to Abbotsford by the Calgary Flames Friday, Carson scored the game-winning goal in the Heat’s victory over Milwaukee Saturday and added another Sunday against the Admirals.
“Any time you play you want to obviously make a contribution, help the team win,” Carson said in a press conference after Saturday’s game. “It was good just to get into a game even if it is down here. Obviously everyone’s goal is to be up in the NHL but this is where I am right now and I’ve got to make the most of it.”
NO RUST ON ALL-STAR BRUST
Starting his first game since January 4th against the Admirals Sunday, kicking out 30 shots for a 2-0 victory.
It was Brust’s first win since December 15th.
“It’s been a struggle for me lately,” Brust told media after Sunday’s game. “I think that’s probably why I’ve had two weeks without playing. I needed this one tonight. I was in a lot of close games and my last name didn’t go so well so it’s nice to get back on the winning side of things. I felt pretty good out there.”
Despite the rough patch, Brust has enjoyed a spectacular season. The 29-year old is 9-5-2 this season with a 1.44 goals against average and .948 save percentage. His play has earned him a trip to the AHL All-Star Game.
“It’s nice to be rewarded and it speaks to our team and how good we are defensively,” said Brust, who will be joined by captain Quintin Laing. “Bad defensive teams, their goalies don’t have very good numbers. It shows how well we are defensively and how well we play defensively.”
The Calgary Flames sent the Heat some re-enforcements, shuttling Carson and returning Paul Byron to Abbotsford Friday. The moves came a day after the Flames assigned Chris Breen and Ben Street to the Heat.
TJ Brodie and Roman Horak, who spent the NHL lockout in Abbotsford, remain in Calgary.
To make room, the Heat reassigned forwards David Eddy, Adam Estoclet and Mitch Wahl to the Utah Grizzlies of the East Coast Hockey League.

I was an ultra sensitive kid, remember those Time Life books on the unexplained that they used to advertise....man did they freak me out! I wouldn't even sleep like the person on the cover as I was afraid I'd have an out of body experience :LOL And some of you mentioned the being covered thing, I could not sleep if my foot was hanging over the bed, thought something would drag me away..I'd crawl into my parents bed and had to be in the middle under the covers! The way I would close off my mind with fear actually makes me wonder if there was I time when I saw things but I overrode it?? When I was in highschool the paranormal totally intruiged me and my best friend and I used to try to train ourselves to see auras (which we could but for me it was more a feeling or sense about the person that I got, I never was able to see colors). I do trust my intuition and try to use it in my everyday life...and I read a few other things that I do as well, asking for a white light of protection when we are on a trip and that kind of thing...I will have to try the parking technique
My DD, well she has said lots of things that totally amaze me...but it doesn't give me the chills like it once would have, it just awes me (for lack of better discription). The first ever was when she was learning to talk at, her name is Ember Trinity and at about 14 months she called herself Ember TT...TT was my nephew Tanner's nickname who died a few years before she was born...she was the next baby born in the family so I always felt like she and him had spent time together. She also put on her sunglasses upside down like he did all, which I am sure lots of kids do but still.
She frequently tells me about "when she was the mom". When I was pregnant with her I had a dream in which a little girl about 3 or 4 was there and I said "oh your finally here now" and I honestly woke with the feeling that I'd been waiting for her from a past life, actually I didn't know I was pregnant at the time but this dream was the first thing that made me think I was. We are very attached and I do feel that there is more than just these 3.5 years between us.
When I was pregnant last fall we had discussed names and she knew that Oakley was our boy name and Annisty was our girls...she started calling the baby Oakley on her own and was sure it was a boy. When I had a m/c (the day before her 3rd b-day) she told me plain as day that the next time I had a baby in my tummy it would Oakley, the same baby, the baby that we wanted. When I got pregnant again and was about 5 weeks along one day she was sittting on my lap and put her hands directly on my abdomen and exclaimed...Mommy your baby's back, Oakley's back! This was about 3 months later and we had not talked about the name or babies since.
Most recently she has told me that she remembers being born...that she was scared and was crying and shaking and was stuck. She has always panicked and freaked when I put a shirt over her head and it gets stuck or is too tight and I pushed for 4 hrs with her so I've always wondered if it is related...It was neat to find the link about that in this thread.

Chances that former county supervisor George Shirakawa will go on trial in mid-September for allegedly impersonating now-triumphant Councilwoman-elect Magdalena Carrasco‘s 2010 campaign are about as likely as…hmmm…police union leader Jim Unland and San Jose mayor Chuck Reed gettin’ all kissy poo.
In other words, it could happen; super-duper if it does, but don’t hold your breath.
Here’s why, in IA’s admittedly jaded view:
Even though Shirakawa is now available after finishing his seven-month stint at Club Santa Rita (Alameda County jail) — and in fact appeared in court Tuesday (June 10) — his lawyer Jay Rorty has not come anywhere near checking off all the stuff on his ambitious pre-trial list.
Don’t get IA wrong. There’s nothing unusual or scandalous about a well-respected, busy lawyer running behind or changing his agenda. And IA may well turn out to be incorrect about the timing of the trial.
But if Rorty still plans to file separate motions to suppress evidence seized during a police search and change venues, as well as litigate a DNA discovery dispute, he’s going to be one busy beaver over the next three months.
The trial was already delayed once from April to Sept. 15 at the defense’s request.
Rorty didn’t respond to a request for comment.

WorldNetDaily's abject hatred for all things Obama and transgender are pretty obvious. Put the two together, and even that hatred goes up a few notches.
Thus, Obama's appointment of transgender woman Barbara Satin to the president’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships tripped that trigger. A "news" article on the appointment by WND lackey Bob Unruh couldn't even make out of the second paragraph before quoting a screed by an obscure right-wing blogger decdlaring that Satin is "mentally sick." Unruh somehow neglects to mention that the writer of said screed also referred to Obama as "Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah," so you know his credibility is completely unassailable.
Unruh's article is oddly accompanied by a completely unrelated photo of a smiling, if not smug-looking, Obama -- an obvious and dishonest attempt to convey WND's view that his appointment of Satin is a screw-you to WND readers:
Judging by the 1,400-plus comments accompanying the article, WND's message was received as intended.
Lest anyone think WND's hatefest doesn't come straight from the top, WND editor Joseph Farah followed up with a column continuing the mindless hate:
It gets wackier and wackier.
Barack Obama last week named a transgender man named Barbara Satin to be a member of his Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships – another obvious poke in the eye at America’s Bible-believing community.
I call him Obama’s “Satin Doll,” but, of course, I don’t know if “Barbara” pronounces his name that way. I will leave it to your imagination on the alternative.
You can hardly keep up with the White House freak show in Obama’s closing days.
Satin, by the way, never went under the knife, so to speak. He’s still got all his male parts. He admits being attracted to women, was married and fathered three children. So this is an example of the kind of person who is free to use the same public bathroom at Target as your daughter. Keep that in mind.
This action, of course, follows Obama’s stunning and tyrannical decision to order public schools throughout America to allow transgender students to use the restrooms of their choice – threatening to withhold federal aid to any school district that balks.
What is Obama going to do next to top this?
Is Michelle going to come out of the closet as a transsexual?
Yesa, Farah apparently believes Michelle Obama is transsexual, like Alex Jones (who also thinks Joan Rivers was murdered in order to keep it secret), on whose even more conspiracy-obsessed show Farah is a (perhaps not-so) surprisingly frequent guest.
And Farah wonders why his website has no credibility.

A prophet is never recognised in his homeland – Lee Chin
By Al Edwards
One of the world’s renowned rating agencies, Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings (S&P), has bestowed a favourable rating upon NCB Jamaica.
This is remarkable for the bank, which was purchased by Michael Lee Chin some 20 years ago, after it was in the doldrums having been FINSAC’d.
Over the last two decades, NCB Jamaica spearheaded by a local management team, has presided over a remarkable turnaround.
S&P Global Ratings upgraded its long-term issuer credit rating from “B+” to “BB-“. The short-term issuer credit ratings were affirmed at “B”.
The rating agency declared that it expects NCB Jamaica to maintain its credit fundamentals over the next year.
It has been a turbulent year for NCB Jamaica, one that saw its profits fall, no dividends paid out, its chairman Michael Lee Chin take a leave of absence and its two top executives, Patrick Hylton and Dennis Cohen, having to step away while their compensation package gets resolved.
Despite these challenges, S&P reposes confidence in NCB Jamaica as one of the leading banking entities in the region. NCB Jamaica now has the same rating recently given by S&P to Jamaica.
Of Jamaica, S&P wrote in June of this year: “The outlook reflects S&P’s expectation that Jamaica will continue to pursue cautious macroeconomic policy and maintain its commitment to prudent public sector financing and debt reduction, as well as supportive economic policies including a flexible exchange rate regime and effective monetary policy.”
Although a big deal, the news on NCB was not greeted with much fanfare.
Speaking to Our Today about the rating NCB Jamaica received from S&P, NCB’s chairman Michael Lee Chin said: ” It is very encouraging and we still have work to do. What is interesting is the international professionals would have seen fit to give us an upgrade notwithstanding the perception in Jamaica and the region. S&P sees the strength of NCB. There’s a saying, a prophet is never recognised in his homeland!”
Lee Chin has returned to take charge of the NCB Group and has given a commitment to turn things around. There will be a dividend payment before the year is out and the new mantra of NCB is “ Efficiency,Customer Service and Governance”(ECG).
The rating upgrade is a testament to the work and abilities of the NCB team then and now, including Hylton, Cohen, Sheree Martin, Septimus Blake, and Kadeen Matthews Blair. They built a banking powerhouse that S&P has paid attention to and commended.
Lee Chin continued: The asset tax gave the country the ability to pay down debt significantly. Now that the economy has rallied, perhaps we should remove it. It is fantastic what Jamaica has accomplished in the last ten years, particularly coming from a debt to GDP ratio of 147 per cent to 78 per cent. Unemployment is now at 4.5 per cent, the NIR is at US$4.4 billion, the currency is stable. Jamaica is a model of how to turn around an economy. “

Anyone who believed the Illinois High School Association simply could legislate away the recruiting of grade-school athletes now knows otherwise. It's business as usual on the player procurement front, despite a new rule intended to stop recruiting for athletic purposes.
A Tribune story Wednesday demonstrated as much with its description of the pursuit of Lakeith Henderson, an 8th-grade basketball player at Spencer Elementary School on the West Side. More than 15 schools recruited the 15-year-old, with calls to his home coming at such a rate-four to five a day, according to his mother, Beatrice-that she and her husband considered changing their phone number.
For a kid who's still in elementary school, Henderson has spent a lot of time with high school coaches. Given that its rule prohibits singling out athletes for special recruiting attention, the IHSA likely can find a gymful of coaches who committed at least minor violations while pursuing Henderson.
That may account in part for the angry edge in Executive Director Dave Fry's voice Wednesday when he said the IHSA will investigate Henderson's recruitment. A rule, after all, isn't much of a rule if it's ignored widely.
Human nature is difficult to change, though, particularly when it involves winning. Few ambitious coaches seem willing to gamble that promising players will wander into school uninvited.
So if the recruiting rule is going to accomplish much, the IHSA is going to have to club a few guilty parties over the head with it first. Henderson's case is the first one falling under the new rule to receive major publicity, so it's going to serve as a test case not only of the measure's effectiveness but also of the IHSA's willingness and ability to enforce it.
Fry doesn't seem lacking in resolve.
"I suppose you can say whenever a new rule is implemented, the first instance where it appears it applies in a sense becomes a test of it," he said. "But it doesn't make it more important than one that comes up a year from now or two years from now or four years from now. If this kind of thing happens, it's important to deal with it whenever it might occur and stop it."
Why, some have asked, deal with it at all? Why not let a kid choose the school where he can maximize his athletic ability by allowing coaches to sell their programs to him?
Two reasons. First, being recruited inflates the importance sports has in a youngster's life. It encourages him to believe that athletic ability rather than academic achievement is the key to his future.
Second, grammar-school kids are not mature enough to handle the courtship of adults. I've spent more than a decade watching the goofy things high school seniors do when college coaches are chasing them, so I know there's no way younger people can handle it.
In Chicago, many recruiting targets are kids from single-parent homes in which that parent is too busy surviving to keep track of coaches. Lakeith Henderson has two hard-working, involved, religious parents, yet even he was befuddled by the recruiting process. At one point, he was driven to tears by it.
The pressure angered him at times, but, tellingly, he also felt guilt. He knows that no one forced him to play on age-group teams run by high school coaches, for instance, and he worries he might have led some coaches on.
"Sometimes I feel a part of it is my fault because I chose to play with all those coaches," said Henderson, who has registered to attend Hales Franciscan. "And somewhere along the way, I made all of them feel I was going to their school."
He, of course, is guilty of nothing other than of being 15 years old and acting like it. Coaches aren't supposed to be chasing him in the first place, and his feelings of guilt underscore why the adults need to stop all this nonsense.
Henderson, in reality, is a hero. He has taken a stand, telling his story in part to help prevent other kids from having to ride the recruiting merry-go-round.
If every 8th-grade hotshot spilled the beans about his recruiting, it would make enough chili to fill Chicago Stadium. It also would put some coaches on IHSA suspension for so long they'd have to be put in time capsules if they wanted to work a bench again.
Few kids will talk, though, which is how coaches such as King's Landon Cox have been able to bend and sometimes break recruiting rules for so long. It was King assistant coach Ormon O'Quinn, Henderson said, who gave him a King T-shirt and warmup jersey and who took him to Cox's house.
It was also O'Quinn who demanded the garments back after he learned Henderson's story might be headed for Page 1 and who asked Beatrice Henderson to lie by writing a note that she had given him permission to take Lakeith to Cox's house.
It would be nice to believe that the Chicago Board of Education would end such recruiting insanity, but then it would be nice to believe the Cubs and White Sox will meet in October. The IHSA will have to do the job.
Here's hoping it can.

All is not well north of the tension line. A series of unsettling nighttime incidents have left the islanders uncertain whether to be nervous or annoyed. Are they victims of an elaborate teenage prank, or is there a malevolent stranger lurking on the island? Meanwhile, out-of-state owners of a new goat farm seem to consider themselves the self-proclaimed leaders of the island; Pali, the ferry captain, is troubled by his own unique version of writer’s block; and Ben, the captain’s ten year-old son, appears to be hiding something.But it is only when the imperturbable Lars Olafsen announces his retirement, and Stella declares her candidacy for office, that the islanders realize trouble is brewing. Fiona must decide whetherit is time to leave the island for good, or to make another reckless gamble.
Book two in the award-winning North of the Tension Line series, The Audacity of Goats is the continuing tale of Fiona Campbell, and her reluctant adventures among the pleasures, mysteries, and exasperations of small town life
About the Author
J.F. Riordan was born in New Jersey and first moved to Michigan, then Wisconsin as a child. At the age of 14 she decided to become an opera singer, and was fortunate in the aftermath to have been able to sing. At 16, after two years of high school, she went to the University of New Mexico to study voice, continued her music studies in Chicago and Milwaukee, and ultimately became a professional singer. Homesick after years of travel, she came home to the Midwest, finished her college degree, and became certified to teach high school. She taught for three years in the inner city before taking a position as a program officer for a foundation. She lives in exile from Washington Island with her husband and two dogs. North of the Tension Line is her first novel.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews
A Review of The Audacity of Goats Mark Schug My wife and I were recently on a cruise that left from Venice. I took The Audacity of Goats by J.F. Riordan along with me. It is the type of book I normally do not pick up but I loved it. This is Riordan’s second novel which takes place on Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin. The location is important. Its isolation and small town context make for close observations of the characters and their environment. Goats has a nice, quick pace and engaging characters. You find you have smiles and concerns in equal amounts. Fiona and Elisabeth are the main ones to watch. They have great insights but they do have their blind sides as well which makes them all the more human. Roger, the coffee shop owner, is a unique character. He is aware of his own painful shortcomings but his solution is completely unexpected. And, then, there is the return of the often hilarious (if it wasn’t so serious) goat adventures. The subplots are fun and engaging. Young Ben's story was very poignant and loaded with insights. His conversation with Fiona and then his father were touching. Emily and Jason are a nice addition to the scene that holds some real promise for twists and turns in the future. The humor – the hardware store scene and the Lutheran Prayer Club – reminded me of something out of Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion. None of this gets to the substance of the book, however. The author has deep insights about people and their surroundings. It is a satisfying and very uplifting book.
This is the delightful sequel to “North of the Tension Line,” and is even better than the first book in the series! The characters are delightful, there is a delicious mystery, and an eerily familiar political battle. You will love this book! (I actually read it in one sitting. Couldn’t put it down.) Highly recommended.
JF Riordan knocks it out of the park with her second novel, "The Audacity of Goats." Riordan's characters are divine and so well sculpted you can vividly see them. Her writing is intelligent without being stuffy and is bravely witty. Her first novel "North of the Tension Line" starts the story of Fiona Campbell on Washington Island and is equally well crafted. Both are great reads and should not be missed.

JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers met and got engaged on Season 12 of The Bachelorette. During the season, Rodgers revealed that he no longer talks to his NFL-playing brother, Aaron. So will the couple invite him to their wedding? Here is everything to know about their wedding plans and what Jordan Rodgers has said about his estrangement from his brother.
Jordan Rodgers said he’d ‘absolutely’ invite Aaron to their wedding
Back in 2016, Jordan Rodgers said he’d invite his estranged brother to his big day. “There’s no scenario in which I wouldn’t want my entire family at a wedding, so absolutely, that’s something all of our family wants and hopes for at some point,” The Bachelorette winner said according to People.
JoJo Fletcher said they are still nailing down wedding details
Years later the couple still has yet to get married. That’s not exactly strange when it comes to couples from The Bachelorette. But JoJo Fletcher revealed why they are choosing to wait and what they decided on so far.
“So we’re probably gonna [have it] in the beginning of some sort of year,” Fletcher told Us Weekly. “We like it outdoors, we like a lot of greenery, so we have that nailed down. Just not the date.” Why not the date?
“We’re really happy and enjoying our engagement and our life has been — and continues to get I feel like — so much busier and crazy,” she continued. She then added, “and there’s just gonna be that moment where we look at each other and we’re like, ‘OK. Let’s take a pause. Let’s do this, it’s time.’”
It’s probably not a surprise that the two aren’t against having their wedding on television either. “I would never say no, never, but I think it’s very important that, if it was a televised wedding, that it stays true and organic to us,” Fletcher told Us Weekly. “We would never do a wedding that was just filled with a bunch of Bachelor people that we don’t even know because that’s not us.”
Jordan Rodgers and his family opened up about not talking to Aaron on The Bachelorette
On The Bachelorette, the Rodgers family talked openly about being estranged from the Green Bay Packers player with Fletcher. “It’s just the way he’s chosen to do life,” Jordan Rodgers said on the reality show. “I chose to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother [Luke].”
Their father somewhat hinted on why they no longer speak to him with “fame can change you.” Luke Rodgers also chimed in by saying “something we don’t like to talk about a whole lot.” He then added, “it pains both of us. We miss our brother.”
Aaron Rodgers, on the other hand, has been pretty tight-lipped about the family drama. His biggest statement on the matter was with WISN “I haven’t seen the show, to be honest with you, so it hasn’t really affected me a whole lot.” He then continued, “As far as those kinds of things go, I’ve always found that it’s a little inappropriate to talk publicly about some family matters, so I’m just — I’m not going to speak on those things, but I wish him well in the competition.”

Indian artists employed multiple perspectives unlike their European counterparts in their paintings. The idea was to convey reality that existed beyond specific vantage point. Some of the special Miniature paintings include illustrated manuscripts of Jains and Buddhists, the flowering of the Mughal, Rajput and Deccan miniatures. Themes used were from Indian epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagvata Purana, Rasikpriya, Rasamanjiri as well as ragas of Indian classical music, etc. With a seasonal approach to my makeup, not only do I save time, but I save money as well. I now wear my right makeup and have a coordinated closet with coordinated clothing. I look taller, healthier and feel more confident. I receive compliments almost everyday what a wonderful experience! STENCILING. You may want designs on the walls, or perhaps even on floors and ceilings, in some of the rooms or hallway. You may buy or make your own stencils, which should be on heavy paper, stencil board, plastic, or metal. Avoid stencils made of lightweight paper which will get soaked when touched by wet paint. Your paint dealer will suggest the best paint for you to use, as it will depend a great deal on the surface over which you want to put the stenciled designs. Generally a heavy paint is used, so that it will not spread under the stencil while you are applying it.
THE NARRATIVE. First look for the narrative, simply describe what you see. Who or what is depicted, what's going on? If you see people and things, the painting is figurative; if you see lines and splashes - go for non-figurative. The name of the painting might come in handy, especially when it comes to Dali. What seems to be more important for the artist - representation or expression? Compare the paintings in the styles of hyperrealism and expressionism - you can always tell if the images look idealized or expressly distorted. Notice the feelings you get looking at the painting, the general impression produced by the entire painting and its elements - later you will dig deeper to understand what inspired those emotions. There is a reason why you like one painting more than the other. Your taste in art is as unique as your taste in food or clothes, inspired by your background, upbringing and even professional expertise. Suppose it rains while you're working? Vinyl paint dries fast - as quickly as 10 to 30 minutes - and will withstand a shower after that time. It takes another 12 hours to "cure," by then forming an exceptionally tough, long-lasting film that stands up well against weather, sun, salt air and factory smoke. For stippling you need a special brush; get one that is flat, and has short, stiff bristles. At a minimum you want to remove all the chrome from the car. Take off both front and rear bumpers. If your Mustang has bumperettes that are body color be sure to bring them along so they can get sprayed at the same time as the rest of the car. Remove all rocker, hood and trunk molding. Same for wheel well molding and all emblems. This would be a good time to order some new emblems and attachment hardware. Also spend some time cleaning up all the chrome with #0000 steel wool. Nothing looks worse on a fresh paint job then faded emblems and corroded, cloudy chrome.

Searching for the way
In my love of sports and continued studies of ancient Chinese philosophy, I kept searching for a way to explain how ancient masters of Zen and Kung Fu perfected their skills thousands of years ago. I envisioned that this ancient way could teach modern day athletes how to perform in excellence.
Today’s athlete often has a tendency to overanalyze, think too much, and try too hard. There is an excessive and anxious focus on the outcome or result of their athletic experience. They anxiously, fearfully over-focus on the thinking and “doing” and miss the experience of “being” in the present moment. Yet, the only time an athlete can experience true peak performance is when he or she is in the Zone – a euphoric state of effortless “being” when there is no thinking, just going with the flow, responding to the circumstances and creating outside the box.
How does one live and train to be in the Zone?
The writings in this book, Athletes Way of Excellence, are about how to use ancient Chinese wisdom to achieve athletic peak performance and how to be in the Zone. The sources of the information in this book are the same ancient Eastern wisdom and principles as in my first book. After 33 years of working in holistic sports medicine, I have studied thousands of athletes and witnessed first-hand the cause and effect of their behavior and beliefs in victory or defeat.
The Way Of Excellence teaches 12 lessons of timing, how to be, as well as what to do and when to do it. This simple ancient wisdom, when applied diligently, will improve athletic performance of body and mind. It has been used for thousands of years by Zen monks, Shaolin priests and Kung Fu grand masters and can still be used today to show the “Way” to master a skill and to perform in Excellence.
The greatest obstacles and battles for you to performing in the Zone is in your own mind.Ignorance, lack of awareness and knowledge cause repetition of disappointing results.Insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting a different result.The Way Of Excellence will guide the athlete to be present, at peace and of one mind, free of mental chatter, performance anxiety or regret. The wisdom of this book teaches how to be, what to do and when to do it, always in perfect timing and Excellence.This book is dedicated to my love for sports and athletics, and it is my hope that it shall provide the wisdom to young and aspiring athletes that most athletes never fully learn or learn too late in their career.


I picked one of these up at a brick and mortar store. I saw it on the rack, asked to look at it and made an impulse buy. It was a bit more pricey than what is listed here but so it goes. Id always wanted one like this- short barrel, collapsible butt. It handles nice and the MagPul furniture is a nice touch. Other than needing some sort of optical it is what the doc ordered for my AR jones... This one is a "keeper" and it stands tall next to an AK in handling, accuracy and take-down for cleaning. Feels and carries lighter than any AK Ive had and is frankly faster to bring to point. Being an AR I doubt (but havent torture tested it) it can go as long as the AK without attention in rough conditions. Lighter, quicker and more accurate tho.
Im an AK man and have been for decades, but I do like this carbine, even knowing that it will need more attention. My only concern is a big one- how effective is the 5.56 in such a short barrel? The M4 Original has a 14.5 inch barrel, this one is 16 inches, a bit more oooomph. I don't like the super-fast 1-7 twist but it works for the heavier, slower 855 round. Altogether, I like this carbine and will get some sort of sight to mount on it- eventually. Friend has one with the holographic sight for which he paid thru the nose. I will probably do the same, but as it is the flip up sight works fine.
Being old school, I do miss the old carry handle and havent gotten used to the "shaved" look. YMMV! - DUNRANULL
This rifle is amazing. It has never jammed with any kind of ammo and shoots to point of aim with different bullet weights. I've tried the light varmint slugs, and the heavy 75 grain TAP personal protection slugs. They all group under 2" at 100 yards (from a rest). The absolute best ammo that I've used is the 69 grain. Cor Bon, Double Tap, Black Hills remanufactured 69 grain all produce the best results. I consistently get one inch groups. How can you top this with an over-the-counter rifle that has had no customization. It's extremely fast with no recoil to speak of. Stay away from the Ruger 30 round mags. They are squishy. The 20 round mags are the best (if you can find any in this nutso gun climate). I give this rifle my highest rating. - JOE
You won\'t be sorry if you buy this gun. I put about 100 rnds through mine this week and I can\'t tell you how happy I am with every aspect of this 700. Really great groups and almost no recoil.
Thanks Remington and Ables - E. G.
this gun is-wait for it-AWESOME!! the 223 round is so much fun to shoot. people think the accuracy is terrible but this gun is dead on 120 yards the casing is ejected so far you don\'t need to worry about getting hit by a hot casing this gun is over all amazing and with a high cap mag you can spend all day at the range, and beacuse the ammos cheap too. - S. B.
This has become my go to AR. The factory trigger was not as good as the ultramatch, and it is extremely heavy. The groups make up for it though. At 100 yards this is the most accurate rifle I've ever fired period. This includes high end bolt actions and other AR's. It should come with a sling swivel up front. This would aid in shooting it as well as toting it. Mine with a 6.5-20 power scope and a full 30 rd clip weighs in at over 15 lbs. All things aside, this is one amazing rifle. - C. A.

We used to go to Mahoney State Park at least once, if not twice a year for a little escape from the hustle and bustle. Now that we have the house in Niobrara we don't visit very often. Luckily my parents "won" a cabin at a fundraiser auction a few months ago so we ended up with a great weekend away.
Our cute little cabin had perfect views of the water and was nice and spacious.
Even though the weather didn't necessarily cooperate all weekend we still managed to fit in a nice walk with a trek up the tower.
And some solid time in the water park where we were able to channel our inner child while being adventurous down the slides (which for sure gave me whiplash), practicing flips off the board, and hanging out in the wave pool.
We capped the day off with a little putt putt golf and happy hour at the lodge before retiring to our cabin to cook dinner.
A perfect, low key, relaxing family weekend for sure.

What Diesel Motor Oil Types Are Good for 12 Valve Cummins?
Vehicle performance, efficiency and fuel economy significantly rely on the oil type. Diesel motor oil is of 4 different types:
Full Synthetic: The most common type of motor oil is full synthetic oil or synthetic oil. Your vehicle will perform in tiptop condition due to this highly efficient oil regardless of the weather conditions.
It comes with a low viscosity rating, making it ideal for power-intense vehicles. The moving parts of an engine get protected from frequent wear and tear.
However, synthetic oil is expensive, which is the biggest disadvantage. You have to pay 30% extra bucks to buy synthetic oil compared to conventional diesel motor oil. But its performance outweighs the price.
Synthetic Blend Oil: Synthetic and mineral oil mixture is known as synthetic blend oil. This diesel motor oil is cheaper and goes roughly the same mileage of 15,000 miles as synthetic oil.
But the performance regarding temperature resistance and heat resistance is pretty low than synthetic oil.
Premium Conventional Oil: The prime responsibility of premium conventional oil is to prevent deposit buildup into the motor.
It consists of many additives that efficiently break down contamination and debris. At the same time, offering outstanding resistance to high temperatures. This oil type will be the ideal solution if your motor engine runs hot.
Higher Mileage Oil: From the name itself, you can understand that higher mileage oil is suitable for engines with high mileage on the meter.
Moreover, this diesel motor oil is suitable for those vehicles that suffer a lot from regular wear and tear and have more debris and contamination inside. This oil type requires additives and the right viscosity rating to extend the service life of those used motors.

Hex Hall #3
Just as Sophie Mercer has come to accept her extraordinary magical powers as a demon, the Prodigium Council strips them away. Now Sophie is defenseless, alone, and at the mercy of her sworn enemies—the Brannicks, a family of warrior women who hunt down the Prodigium. Or at least that’s what Sophie thinks, until she makes a surprising discovery. The Brannicks know an epic war is coming, and they believe Sophie is the only one powerful enough to stop the world from ending. But without her magic, Sophie isn’t as confident.
Sophie’s bound for one hell of a ride—can she get her powers back before it’s too late?
I've really enjoyed the Hex Hall series. They've got a brilliant lead, cracking storylines and are pacey enough to keep my turning the page long after I should have put down my book to do something else.
I did enjoy this instalment and thought it was a nice ending to the Hex Hall series. Without giving too much away there were some brilliant twists and revelations as everything fell into place. the final show down was epic and I enjoyed the sense of satisfaction at the end as everything tied up and fell into place.
(The next sentence is a little bit spoliery)
That said I am a little gutted about Cal and how things turned out for him in this book but I think that is probably due to the fact that I hate hate hate Archer. There's just something about him I do not like at all.
(end of spoliers)
Overall I really have series this series. It's kept me guessing, made me laugh and thoroughly entertained me for three books and each book in the series is as strong as the last which I am increasingly finding not to be the case in trilogies.

(NOTE: Part two in a three part travelogue/review of my private photo seminar with Jon Cornforth)
In the weeks leading up to the trip, I found out that I would have to squeeze a business trip to Edmonton in right before my photo seminar. I had originally planned to fly in to Seattle directly from Minneapolis on the night of Thursday, April 10th. Instead, I had to fly to Edmonton late at night on the 9th, have my meeting during the day, then fly from Edmonton to Seattle by way of Vancouver on the night of the 10th. I met my friend Ross (who I was supposed to fly with) at the airport.
This also meant that I had to bring a lot more stuff than I planned. In addition to my photo and camping gear, I needed all my stuff and some nice clothes to visit a potential client. My bag slipped in right at the 50 pound weight limit!
After having a nice dinner and a good night’s sleep at my friend Beth’s house, Jon arrived right on time to pick Ross and I up. He arrived in his truck towing his camper – our home for the weekend. We threw our gear in the back of the truck and headed towards the peninsula.
The trip out to the peninsula went by very quickly – the conversation was pretty lively, and the teaching began almost immediately. Right off the bat it was obvious that even if we didn’t learn anything – it would still be a fun weekend.
Stopped in the Sol Duc for lunch and our first lesson
Our first stop of the trip was the Sol Duc rainforest. We stopped near a nice stream and went to the camper for some sandwiches before starting to shoot. Jon (who I think was still trying to probe our capabilities) talked to us about framing, depth of field, shutter speed for water movement, and eliminating distracting elements. We also learned the art of ‘Cornforthing’ the scene – or how to make sure that distracting twig isn’t so distracting.
Jon checking out a scene in the Sol Duc
When you shoot in a rainforest, you really WANT rain – or at least clouds. In bright sun, you get nasty hard shadows and really washed out colors. Within a short period of time, the clouds broke revealing bright sunlight which would stick with us for the remainder of the trip. Fortunately, we were able to get some keepers before the sun got too strong.
Mossy Tree and Rushing Stream
After leaving the Sol Duc, we headed for La Push to set up camp on the beach for the weekend. We pulled in late afternoon, got the camper set up, and headed off for Second Beach for a sunset shoot. It was about a mile hike through the woods to get to Second Beach – and a real pretty hike at that. Once we hit the beach we had to scramble over a very large pile of logs that had washed ashore. There were numerous warnings to stay away from the logs during a high tide – I can’t imagine them all bumping around!
The piled up driftwood on Second Beach
After scouting the beach a little, we set up to shoot the sea stacks. While we were setting up, we got a primer on shooting sunsets. We talked about spot metering and how to use it to determine which graduated neutral density filter to use, we talked about the use of hyperfocal charts to set focus, and we learned the importance of a bubble level.
I set up with my Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens and a HiTech 3-stop hard line GND being held in a Cokin holder. I got everything balanced, set my camera for f/22 to get maximum depth of field, waited for the light to get just right, and started firing.
Sand patterns made from receding tides
One other interesting lesson I picked up was that you could judge the quality of the light and the scene by whether or not Jon was setting up to shoot. This was a real consideration for him since he’s shooting medium format film – and it’s about a dollar every time he hits the trigger.
It was interesting to see how important Jon’s preaching about preparation and composition turned out to be – the magic light lasted for only a few short minutes. It was short enough that if you weren’t ready to go when you saw it – it was too late!
Second Beach at Sunset
Once the sun went down, we hiked back to the car in the dark and went back for dinner. Once back, Jon made us a great pasta & meat sauce dinner in the camper and we washed it down with some good wine. We spending a little time editing pictures before turning in for the evening.
It was as we were turning in that we discovered that we got our wires crossed during planning – we had no bedding! When we were setting the trip up, we mentioned that we might bring sleeping bags if we needed to – and we never went back and straightened it out. Jon naturally assumed we were bringing bedding so he didn’t bring any. I ended up sleeping under Jon’s daughter’s pink Dora the Explorer sleeping bag – and Ross bundled up in fleece. Fortunately it was going to be a short night.. we had a 5 AM wakeup!
Coming up soon – Part Three! Until then.. all of my pictures from the trip are here: (link)

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! I don't read instructions. I have never in my life read instructions until all else failed.
Last week I watched a couple of Youtube videos about making zucchini fritters, and I thought it looked easy and delicious as well. Not having a food processor I had to grate everything by hand, which I didn't mind. They were delicious and got me to thinking, if they were this good for entailing all the work, I should buy myself a food processor, which I did. Costco had a small Cuisinart processor for $25 and I tried it out this morning. It took me at least a half hour to get it all assembled and connected, and I could have had all the ingredients grated by then, but at least I tried something new.
I may use it again but to tell the truth, I think my hand-grated fritters tasted better. The ones I made today are a bit mushier and the flavors don't stand apart.
A funny moment occurred when I was cutting the zucchini in smaller sections to put into the processer. While I was busy putting the pieces into the machine, Rocky came along and stole a chunk of zucchini and then ran like a rabbit so I wouldn't see him!
While I'm sitting here typing this, I've eaten the entire batch of zucchini fritters and it's only 9:49 am!

Maine ‘Jeopardy!’ Champ’s Winning Streak Ends
Dennis Coffey's reign on Jeopardy has come to an end as a new champion was crowned Wednesday night.
The new victor was John Cuevas.
Dennis mentioned on the show two friends of his from Old Orchard Beach that both had passed away from opioid addictions and dedicated his appearance on the show to them.
Coffey's win streak, which began last Friday, ended when he lost the Final Jeopardy question, "Of the five inhabited U.S. territories, this is the only one where cars drive on the left?"
Dennis answered with Guam, but the answer turned out to be the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Dennis has no full-blown plans as to how he will spend his money, maybe some travel and charitable donations, but this good-natured bartender took a chance that most of us don't.
He had a dream, he bet on himself and won.
You can see Dennis in this clip below:
