- Q:How to charge a Battery with Home Electricity and Solar Panel together?
- No, don't connect the panel directly to the battery. You need to isolate the solar panel charging output from the AC-powered charger. A couple of high-current diodes arranged with their anodes connected to the charging sources in the positive supply line will allow either the charger or the solar panel to lift the voltage high enough to charge the battery, albeit with about 0.6 volts dropped across the diode. Both cathode ends would be connected to the battery. This arrangement allows a positive current to flow from either or both charging sources at the same time, although in practice, one will generally be higher than the other. Also, if the AC charger's voltage is significantly higher than the solar panel, the charger may always charge the battery. You would need to regulate its output to be slightly lower than the solar panel when it's near it's minimum useful operating voltage. (note that the 0.6 forward bias voltage on the diode might prevent the solar panel from completely charging the battery if it has any voltage regulation on its output)
- Q:Is there a personal use solar panel?
- You can cosider this product Flexible Personal Solar Panel. I think it will be helpful. Product Review Take the lightweight, easy-to-pack Brunton Solaris 6 / 2 Solar Panels on your next expedition to the Himalayas or down that nearby trail or dirt road. Brunton used CIGS, the most efficient thin-film solar technology available, to create the Solaris. Choose either the Solaris six-watt or 2-watt panel—both of them fold up to the size of a CD wallet and work, even in overcast conditions, to charge your cell phone, digital camera, camcorder, iPod, and other small electronics. A built-in reversing diode prevents the solar panel from discharging your batteries when the sun disappears for the night. Brunton's Solaris 2-watt panel can even charge your satellite phone or trickle charge your laptop.
- Q:Solar panel battery help?
- I okorder.com and they have deep cycle batteries exclusively made for solar panels. but in theory you should get more than one because it only takes around 4-5 volts to charge the battery and you do not want to have it that high even with a charge controller which i would also recommend getting which is like $50 on OKorder but a charge controller is used so you do not overcharge the batteries and fry them or undercharge the batteries and weaken its life it gets it just perfect. it lets the current go in and when it is charged fully nothing goes in an nothing comes out.... for a inverter the one i was going to get was $70 500 watt inverter but changes it from dc to ac...hope i helped
- Q:stationary solar panel project?
- Build okorder.com/
- Q:anybody got any info on solar panels for energy savings?
- Consider calculating the solar costs and savings ahead of time. The price of panels have come down substantially in the last 2 months. Solar Panel lifespans have also increased. The return on investment also depends on your location in the world. Mains electricity costs seems to be going up quicker than inflation in Australia. Work out energy efficiency first as it usually cheaper than alternative energy.
- Q:What if anything has been done to channel light power other than solar panels?
- Have you seen the industrial solar power tower they built in Spain? It has a very large collection of mirrors which direct sunlight toward a single point at the top of a large tower. There a boiler turbine generates a lot of electricity! It is a genius concept that could easily be installed in North American deserts.
- Q:What are the government/commercial incentives/discounts that come for solar panels?
- Depending okorder.com/
- Q:Any recommendation for best solar panels?
- I have 3 ARCO solar panels and a wind generator on the Boat and it's all I need to live comfortably on 2 volts.
- Q:How do Solar Panels work, and how it can generate electricity?
- Solar okorder.com under products that are sorted by watts per area. Also go to wikipedia to get more detailed information on solar cells.
- Q:Would you put solar panels on your home? and why?
- I would because it will help me consume less energy and it will not have any effect on our planet earth. AlsoThere is no waste involved like you would get with fossil fuels, and no pollution to expel into our atmosphere. In the middle of winter we would normally be using enormous amounts of fossil fuel, proving very costly. Residential solar power does not give us this problem. This will help our planet alot

New England clam chowder and baked beans may not be very spicy foods, but have no fear, Boston is home to restaurants serving up incredible spice! An increasingly global city, Boston has restaurants with Mexican, Thai, Indian and Korean influences, all of which are known for heat and flavor! So get your palettes ready to be blown away by these five great spicy food restaurants in the greater Boston area.
297 Massachusetts Ave.
Cambridge, MA 02139
Naco Taco is one of the summer’s trendiest destinations for spicy food. This unique restaurant concept bridges food truck and traditional restaurant dining into one for a casual, outdoor experience. They use quality ingredients and unique recipes to make the almost-ubiquitous taco come to life. Some of Naco Taco’s best spicy fare includes watermelon jalapeno gazpacho, lengua (fried beef tongue) taco and of course the picante margarita, which features jalapeno-infused tequila.
145 First St.
Cambridge, MA 02142
Thai food blends sweet, savory and spicy magically into single dishes. Similans in East Cambridge is one of Boston’s favorites for Thai food. The pad thai is fantastic, but to get a little more spice, try the country pad thai, which is simply a spicy take on the traditional favorite. Want to up the spice game even more? The drunken noodles are no joke. The dish tastes delicious, but be warned, it will also have you breaking out in a sweat in no time!
635 Cambridge St.
Cambridge, MA 02141
Lonestar Taco is another top notch Tex-Mex restaurant in the area. Here, make sure to order the diablo margarita, the spice is just subdued enough to drink while still feeling a nice burn. The spiciest taco on the menu is probably the Dallas Spicy Beef, which comes with mushrooms and chilis and is one of the restaurant’s most popular menu items. And, if you want to make any of your food a bit more challenging, a side of house made pickled jalapenos is available for just $1.50!

279 Newbury St.
Boston, MA 02116
Indian cuisine is another type of food known for bringing the heat. Boston doesn’t have tons of Indian restaurants, but the ones that do exist are fantastic; the best of which is Kashmir on Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay. Kashmir is conveniently located and has ample outdoor seating, which is great in such a picturesque neighborhood. As for spicy dishes, the Kashmir chefs can work to your preferences. The restaurant has a whole menu of curry dishes that can be ordered on a scale: regular, medium spicy, hot and spicy or extremely hot!
123 Brighton Ave #300
Allston, MA 02134
No list of spicy cuisines is complete without including Korean barbeque! Bon Chon is Boston’s best bet for spicy chicken. Chicken dishes can be ordered with delicious spicy sauce made with gochugaru, a traditionally made pepper powder. Or if you prefer a wasabi kind of spice, Bon Chon has a great sushi menu with all of the refreshing wasabi you could want. Bon Chon has two locations in greater Boston, one in Allston and one in Harvard Square, so there is no need to travel too far to get your hands on some deliciously spicy Korean barbeque.

“I know Rom for quite some time so he always teases me it’s just how our relationship is,” Simmons reveals.
The friends get a little self care after Simmons says that Miller has been working too hard.
Some of them include, Billboard Music Award, Teen Choice Award, NAMIC Vision Award, Black Reel Award and many others.
Romeo is still very young and there is little doubt that he will achieve a lot more in the future. It is estimated that Romeo’s net worth is million, the main source of this sum of money being Miller’s career as a musician.
As Miller is a very active person there is a high chance that soon he will become involved in various projects and will gain even more acclaim and popularity as there is no doubt Lil’ Romeo is one of the most talented young rappers.3 News Ace of Cups Ace of Wands Alfa Romeo AMC Networks American Broadcasting Company American football Baz Luhrmann Billboard Music Award Champions Square Coupes Damon Dash Dancing with the Stars De Barge Entertainment_Culture Film Fox Broadcasting Company Game Time God's Gift Hot Boys Joseph Simmons Lil Romeo Lil Wayne Louisiana Master P Music Nationality New Orleans Romeo Miller Romeo Smith Romeo!
While the latter had to deal with the murder of her ex-fiancé Sutton Tennyson last year, there have been hints that she and Miller are interested in renewing their romance. Based on what both parties have said over the past few months, they are not back together.
In 2012 Romeo created his own group, called “RESQ3”.
He is a well-known rapper, basketball player, actor and also a businessman, perhaps best known for releasing such albums as “Romeoland”, “Game Time”, “Lil’ Romeo”, “Lottery” among others.In December, Miller spoke to Page Six about his relationship with Simmons, and he made it clear that he doesn’t want to intrude on her grieving process.BREAKING NEWS #GUHH LOVERS: For the first time ever, you can talk to us LIVE while watching tomorrow’s (Thursday) episode of @guhh_wetv on We Tv at 8/7c.Time to get it💪 #ad —————————- A post shared by Angela Simmons (@angelasimmons) on Simmons explained that she needs Miller to live up his word.“I appreciate it but really be there if you’re gonna be here.

Water scarcity and climate emergency: circular and other solutions for the EU agri-food system in a future "Blue Deal"
All industries rely on water. Anticipating future risks related to water scarcity as well as quality and increasing pricing of water is vital for industries, particularly for water-intensive sectors. Many industries are increasingly facing the pressure to progressively adopt more water-efficient production processes and reduce their environmental impact.
Information and promotion measures for agricultural and food products in the internal market and in non-EU countries
Sustainable food in the EU during the crisis on the basis of the new CAP: the contribution of conventional and organic farming to ensuring sustainable food sufficiency in EU Member States
The aim of the opinion is to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of both conventional and organic farming in order to identify the policy levers that are most effective and most likely to attain food sufficiency in EU Member States, while ensuring the transition to more sustainable food systems.
Food price crisis: the role of speculation and concrete proposals for action in the aftermath of the Ukraine war
Considering the extent of the food security crisis and the urgency to address the issue of excessive commodity speculation, the aim of this own-initiative opinion is to analyse the current situation in more detail; gather experts' views on the impacts of commodity speculation on food price increases and food security worldwide; and provide civil society's recommendations on policy measures that are needed to address excessive price speculation and increase market transparency.
The aim of this own-initiative opinion is to develop a strategy to achieve a sustainable plant protein and plant oil open autonomy in the EU by analysing the potential of EU-grown plants. It will also discuss the potential of pure plant oil as a sustainable source for running heavy tractors and other agriculture and forestry machines in a sustainable energy system.
On June 22 2022, the Commission published its proposal for a Regulation for the conversion of the Farm Accountancy Data Network into a Farm Sustainability Data Network.
This opinion will provide the civil society perspective on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. The main purposes of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) would be to discourage EU businesses from moving their production to countries with less ambitious climate change policies (carbon leakage) and to encourage a global move towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050 in line with the Paris Agreement.

As Jack was closing the gap he barely heard what the shadow was saying to him. He felt strange. Like he was watching himself move and act from a third person perspective. His body had an aura of red energy that felt almost evil. If you looked closely enough there there was a blue light outlining his body beneath the crimson flowing off of him in waves. He spoke and his voice sounded double over like someone possessed, possessed by not just a demon.
“You wanted this child snatcher! You wanted to examine me! Well here I am! I know what you are now and I know how you work! I do not fear you fear monger!”
He slams his sickles together and the auras fuse over them making a new purple hue that seemed to emit death. The sickles lock together and create a full length scythe taller than he was.
Q stopped completely as he watched Jack, his tentacles now stopping as he devoted his complete attention to his transformation. He could see these intermingling auras, and how they gave two very different energies. One was dark, sadistic, yet not evil. The other divine, muffled, yet not pure. This was unlike anything that Q had ever witnessed in his entire time alive. And he loved every minute of it.
But as soon as he heard Jack’s new voice, and witnessed his sickles fuse and transform into a scythe, something clicked in the back of Q’s mind. It all came together, like a familiar puzzle with different art adorning it. That was it. He knew that voice. He knew that scythe. That particular scythe was legendary to those who knew it.
Q came to a screeching halt. There was no more that needed done here. He had gotten what he wanted.
“N̴ow̸ I͠ ͠kņo̧w͡ ͟w͠hò ͘you҉ áre.
A͜ ̶fam̀iliąr ̶being ̛ẃit̨h a̢n ̴u̡n̛f̧ami̸li҉a͡r͝ f͢ac̀e͠.
I̛t̕ ̸h̨as ̢b̀ee͠n ҉á ̡wh̨i͝l҉e͝.”
Jack was screaming at himself from inside his head. As if watching a movie unfold he couldn’t believe his eyes. At least this answered one thing; he wasn’t human.Then everything happened at once. Mid sprint he watched himself leap into the air only to blink out of sight at the peak of his jump. Then, not even a heartbeat later he reappeared behind his foe and swung the massive scythe with unworldly force towards the middle of the shadows’ back, hoping to skewer him on his reapers blade.
Jack didn’t remember seeing if the blow landed only that a second later he was back in his body holding the scythe, fatigue suddenly engulfed him and he fought to stay on his on two feet. He mustered the strength to look towards the blade and see whether or not he struck home.
It only took a quick second. Between the time that it had taken Q to utter his words, Jack’s overwhelming power had caught up to him. With the force of a freight train, his scythe had slammed into Q’s back, lifting him up off of the ground and skewering him straight through the torso, Jack’s blade so unceremoniously jutting through Q’s chest. A sound of pain was heard, a mixture of a growl and a stifled yelp.
Q spoke again, but this time…a chuckle.
"Y̧ou..͟.h̶av̴e i̡mpr͞e͠ss̶ȩd me,̛ ̛hu͡nt͡er.͢
͠I͡ sh͞o͠u̶l͞d ̴n̛ót̀ be surpri͟s̀e̴d̡, h̸owev̡er.

Q’s body then melted into a semisolid substance, and dripped off of Jack’s weapon, pooling into a black ichor in front of him. The puddled mass slithered its way away from Jack, and sloppily reformed itself into a faceless mass. All of the sounds of battle stopped; the sounds of screaming, the fog, the lowered temperature. They all ceased, and returned to normal. Even Q’s tentacles had completely retracted. He had gotten what he wanted, and his curiosity was satisfied.
"I ́e͜xp͞ec͞t g̶r͠eat t͡hi̛ng̶s fr͢o̵m͢ ́y͘ou, ̀mor͝ta͟l҉.̵

Reality snapped and bent. Matter distorted and warped.
The grotesque mass of dark power ceased to exist.
Jack was left to explore his new powers alone.
Nothing had happened.

Marty Scott, managing director of the legendary Jem Records, LLC, has announced the signing of New Jersey Psych-Pop Rockers The Grip Weeds. Their new album, How I Won The War will be released on April 7th via Jem Recordings.
How John Lennon Helped The Grip Weeds Win Their War
In 1967 John Lennon starred in a cult film called How I Won The War. In 1988, a band from New Jersey derived their name from Lennon's character in the film, Musketeer Gripweed. In 2015, The Grip Weeds devised an album that delivered on the promise of the lackluster film's lofty title.
In truth, How I Won The War, the sixth Grip Weeds studio album of new material, features more emotional depth and a greater plot than the film of the same name. Like any great piece of art, the themes explored by The Grip Weeds in this 'concept' album are universal, yet there is plenty of room for the listener to insert themselves into the proceedings.
Featuring vocal harmonies that would make CSNY jealous and muscular musicality on par with The Who, How I Won The War is the edgiest Grip Weeds album to date. There is no shortage of visceral stompers ("Rise Up", "Follow Me Blind"), but How I Won The War is no one trick pony. "Other Side Of Your Heart" is an acoustic-driven slice of modern psychedelia that early-era Pink Floyd fans are sure to enjoy. "Life Saver" is pure power pop with an introspective bent, while "Rainbow Quartz" and "Over And Over" take wistful looks back to budding relationships and salad days. The pounding groove of "Force Of Nature" alone will remind Mods young and old what attracted them to rock and roll in the first place. Fittingly, the album closes with a stomping yet entrancing take on The Beatles' "The Inner Light".
The past few years have been busy for The Grip Weeds. After releasing their magnum opus double album Strange Change Machine in 2010, a holiday album Under The Influence Of Christmas in 2011, concert set Speed Of Live and companion DVD Live Vibes in 2012 and rarities collection Inner Grooves in 2013, the band found themselves at a crossroads.
"All bands go through their rough periods and The Grip Weeds are no exception," said lead guitarist Kristin Pinell. "Being in a band with my husband and brother-in-law is a double-edged sword. The familial bond helps us endure some situations that usually kill other bands off. Conversely, it's tougher to leave arguments in the studio when your bandmates are also your family." The tensions within the band on a personal level triggered the ideas explored musically on How I Won The War.
"Our new bassist Dave DeSantis really pulled us to another level," said vocalist/ guitarist Rick Reil. "Kurt and I were at each other's throats during the early stages of this album, but Dave's musicality and easy demeanor inspired us to get down to what's really important to us- our music."

Monroe County farmers are pleasantly surprised by the results of this year’s wheat harvest considering the circumstances.
The wheat being harvested in recent days has been hampered by rain essentially since its planting last fall, Gateway FS Grain Manager Adam Parker said.
“Considering everything, the harvest results are pretty much a blessing,” he said.
The wheat seen across Monroe County this summer is a variety known as soft red winter wheat and is planted after harvesting corn and beans in the fall.
It sprouts and develops over the winter.
Farmers are reporting superior yields in some areas.
Monroe County Sheriff Neal Rohlfing said his family has seen yields of as high as 92 bushels per acre from their farmland, with excellent test weights – a critical measure of quality and value.
Wheat is currently selling at market in the $5 per bushel range, which is an average price.
Test weights are measured in pounds per bushel. Once wheat has ripened and ready to harvest, if it is rained on and dries, the kernels swell slightly and less wheat fits into a bushel. Thus, test weights fall.
Farmers who were able to harvest before the recent average two-inch rains are seeing test weights in the 60 pounds per bushel range.
Those harvesting now are seeing 57-58 pound results, and from 58 pounds per bushel and less, there is a penalty in prices earned when they sell their wheat.
Parker thus called this “…a tale of two harvests: before and after the recent spate of rain.”
That bushel of wheat can yield about 42 pounds of white flour.
Spraying wheat with chemicals known as fungicides as it ripened in past weeks – including with ground vehicles, planes and helicopters – has greatly reduced the vomitoxin disease that can cut value and even make the harvested wheat unusable as animal feed.
Planting the county’s two other primary crops –corn and soybeans – has been delayed by the same rains that have hampered wheat harvesting.
In addition, flooding in the bottom areas of Monroe County adjacent to the Mississippi and Kaskaskia rivers has stalled planting.
And while farmers hope there will be no more rain until they have brought in their wheat, they will want to see it return to help corn and beans planted this spring thrive.
Through the summer’s heat, in fact, farmers will welcome periodic rain and caution we are otherwise often only a week away from a drought.
Farming continues to be an educated guessing game.
Wheat was planted last fall without certainty of prices it would bring this spring and summer. In addition, the impacts of potential international trade issues were, and still are, unknown.
Farmers could not possibly know what harvesting conditions would be months down the calendar.
And now farmers are crossing fingers their after late corn and second crop bean planting.

Superman/Wonder Woman Power Couple Vol 1 Review
Charles Soule is good. He’s really good. And how do we know? Well, Marvel is trusting him to kill Wolverine. That’s a hell of an example. But personally, I prefer this one: He took Superman and Wonder Woman, two of the most fantastic and over the top creations of popular culture, and make them feel like real people. Even the best writers have trouble in that front. What’s more, he made them real people in a relationship. As implausible as the Superman/Wonder Woman relationship is to some, Soule (with help from Tony Daniel and the rest of the art team, of course) makes it feel real within the context of the DC Universe.
Clark and Diana’s relationship is still very new when we open Power Couple, and only a select few know about it. But that will soon change, as the world comes to know that arguably the two most powerful beings on Earth are a romantic item. As if that weren’t enough, Clark and Diana must deal with a Phantom Zone breach. Wonder Woman meets Doomsday for the first time, and Superman comes face to face with someone from his father’s past. A man named Zod.
I find it somewhat fateful that I’m reviewing this particular book in the wake of yet another “Fappening” celebrity photo leak. Secrets are part and parcel to the whole superhero gig. But now two of the world’s greatest heroes have had their privacy violated. A guarded secret is now out for allies and enemies alike to see. Their response, and those of their supporting cast, are very telling from a character standpoint. Soule and Daniel pull off an awesome two-page spread (shown left), giving us reactions from across the world. Amongst a litany of everyday civilians, we get responses from Green Lantern and Flash, Eros and Apollo, Amanda Waller and Steve Trevor, even the President of the United States. Later on we get Lex Luthor, as well as Batman. The issue does a great job capturing just how fast and how far news/scandal can travel in the 21st century.
My only complaint about the “leak” falls back on DC’s tendency to “over-Baturate” things. While almost everyone else’s response to the leak was condensed into the two-page spread containing the kiss, Batman’s response somehow merited a two-page spread of its own. This is completely out of whack within the context of the story. Yes, we know Batman is cool and important. But his moment really only consists of throwing some Batarangs at a big screen to keep people from seeing some distasteful news coverage. We needed two whole pages for that? Right…
Skewed perspective notwithstanding, what’s truly impressive about Power Couple are the one-on-one scenes between Clark and Diana. Soule absolutely nails them. Given the culture she’s from, Wonder Woman is clearly the more aggressive of the two, and she’s not afraid to assert herself. At one point when she and Superman are fighting Zod and Faora, she actually tells Clark, who is trying to offer her advice, to “Pay attention to your own fight!” Indeed, if Diana has her way, Superman/Wonder Woman will see the Man of Steel become a better fighter. “You’re so strong, Clark. But you’ve never been trained to fight. Power isn’t everything…” she says. “You have much to learn, and I’m just the woman to teach you.”
But Wondie isn’t strictly a warrior. She also has a nurturing, loving side. When Superman learns about Doomsday’s return, she assures him he won’t be fighting alone. For Christmas, she gives him a gift that perhaps only a fellow superhero can truly appreciate. We even see a bit of a sensual side, as Tony Daniel renders her walking barefoot on the beaches of Paradise Island.
On the other hand, Clark is more the conventional romantic. He brings Diana a flower from the Fortress of Solitude. He beats himself up when he says something cheesy to her. He even stands up for her when Apollo condescends.
This is such great character work by Soule because it rings true to the essence of both Superman and Wonder Woman. They both have a strong set of ideals and principles, and they’re not as similar as one might believe. And yet, they care for each other because at their core, they both fight for things like peace, justice, truth, and defending the defenseless. Again, it feels very real within the context of the DC Universe. And despite their differences, we see just how similar they are during the book’s climax.
Tony Daniel does mostly good work here. But the one thing that really holds this book back, and much of Daniel’s work for that matter, is the color palette presented by Tomeu Morey. There’s a certain dullness to almost everything that robs the book of a certain epic feel. We’ve got such flamboyant and iconic characters on the page, and yet they feel subdued in a sense. Still, this is some of Daniel’s best work in recent memory. The final page of the book certainly resonates in a powerful way.
DC lost a hell of a player when Soule signed his exclusive contract with Marvel. What he gives us here is no small feat. The Superman/Wonder Woman romance isn’t necessarily one we can relate to, or project ourselves on to. But in Power Couple, Soule, Daniel, and the creative team make it one we care about. I can’t help but tip my hat to them for that.
Q:so some anonymous just showed up and harassed me about Superwonder and how I ship it being sexist and I thought I'd ask... how is it sexist, exactly? For those of who don't know why (myself incuded), can you say how it's sexist?
Well that’s the typical behavior we have come to know of them. This is why we don’t turn off our anon asks feature because fans like yourself who might ask openly at times get attacked. But don’t apologize for what you love in terms of fiction to anyone. Or allow them to bully you. It’s the tactics of cowards to troll and try to demean others.
Put simply because they are very complex issues…Sexism is about purposely discriminating against women simply because of their gender. Feminism as we know it about women ( and men) being allowed to have equal opportunities in all spheres.
So how can Superman/Wonder Woman be sexist? I don’t know where that comes from.
I know it is two strong iconic characters who share a title who have been around for decades. Who do not have a history of co-dependence. ie he or she can’t sell if they are not in each other’s books. They still have their main titles and those sell even when they are not in them.
Some try to say Superman is a symbol of patriarchy. If there was one male character who is not a poster boy for male domination over females , it is him. He is a character who is noble, compassionate, who stands up for the innocent, a protector, who respects women. In his relationships with his love interests, he never mistreats or demeans. When he loves he loves wholeheartedly. His romances with Lana Lang and Lois Lane we are sure could attest to that fact. In fact his Clark Kent persona is that of an everyman that connects to ordinary people. As Superman he suffers the same alienation many feel be it because of their race, religion, social standing or simple beliefs etc and burdens we all carry when we are responsible for others. If anything Clark Kent was treated with not much respect by his main love interest for many decades. Being ignored simply because he was not a Superman. And if it is okay for him to be with Lois Lane, who many know as a strong capable female and it never tarred her, how can it suddenly Diana? Diana who is an Amazon and who is self assured, confident and strong? How can you want Lois with a symbol of patriarchy? I don’t get that myself. That’s a huge contradiction.
Similarly we had Steve Trevor treat Diana Prince the way Lois treated Clark for many decades. She pined, while he noticed Wonder Woman first. Nowadays those troupes are being left behind. Because it really does not say something good about the love interests these people are trying to get to notice them. We could say which message for girls and (boys) is the more empowering one? Be yourself and give your love to someone who treats you right and with respect? Or hide who you are, tolerate their mistreatment because one day…after your long suffering you’ll win them?
There is also the bad boy good girl troupe that is popular with some fans who think Diana needs love interests that she needs to school or change. That that somehow makes her a better hero or woman. No, it does not. Just by her good example she can do that with anyone, be it woman, man, monster, God. One does not have to have sex with a character to help him/her be a better person. Diana, as an Amazon, with no self esteem issues and no western hang ups, we never saw as a woman to chase after anyone to get a date like a teenager as with Batman or endure male chauvinism because it creates “tension.” as with Orion. If anything Superman is one of the men that would be a prime example to a woman reared by Amazons who mistrusted males ( to the point of selling them away as babies) that men could be selfless, noble, compassionate and not cruel and about dominating women. She would gravitate towards that because he represents characteristics that she shares. How could Diana not admire Kal? And vice versa? It is the most natural thing in the world for these two characters to find each other. And fall in love. It’s happening now. Before it happened when they were both older in Elseworld stories because DC had a fixed status quo in canon. It is not something out of the blue. It’s an idea that has been around for a while and played with because it pretty much reflects what’s happening today in terms of male/females standing alongside each other as equals in every way.
That they happen to be two different cultures but with the same core is what makes the story intriguing. We don’t live in a world any more where you have to marry the same person of your own culture, race, religion, or country. Anyone who wants to cite that as a reason that they should not be together…well we leaving problems of sexism and getting into xenophobia and that’s just as bad. Love is love. The world proves that love does not see those barriers. An island girl can fall in love with a farmer’s boy. A soldier can fall in love with a writer. A princess can fall in love with a commoner.
Diana is written very well rounded and strong in Charles Soule’s Superman/Wonder Woman. It is cited by many while Azzarello gets her compassionate side…Soule shows us a hero who is also a young woman. Some writers don’t explore the other aspects of a character. It’s cool to see Wonder Woman always trying to do the right thing and a badass but it’s also nice to just see Diana. The woman who has charm. The woman who has a fun aspect to her personality. The woman you’d go dancing with all night and who dances like no one is watching. The woman who feels anxieties in the early stages of a romance like we all do. The woman who will stand up to the man she loves. The woman who inspires little girls around her with wise words. The woman who shows her boyfriend he doesn’t have to hide all that he is. The woman who will not sit by to watch her boyfriend save the world, she will race him to it.The woman who can shed a tear when she sees the man she loves come back from the dead. Soule showed us other aspects that make the character tangible than just being a female messiah.
Sexist? No, it is not sexist. It’s a superwonderful story so far and it’s an inspiring relationship.

Superman/Wonder Woman Power Couple Vol 1 Review
Love. Drama. And all that sentimental stuff us guys really would hate to see in a superhero comic. But there is something special about bringing the two most powerful super people together. I really have to say Charles Soule is extremely talented and spears to be having fun with this book. He has taken what is great with the current Wonder Woman fair and blended it perfectly into the Superman mythos. Do not get me wrong women will enjoy the juicy mushy moments between Clark and Diana. But guys will soon see that there is a lot of action and big brawls in this book. Most importantly Charles doesn’t make this love story easy but he gives the reader the love story to end all love stories. You really want this power couple to stay together but lets face there are so many obstacles for them to overcome. But doesn’t every relationship. What is most beautiful about this story is that Superman and Wonder Woman really embody the hope of what men and women can be if we do not fight our differences but embrace them and allow love to push us to inspire each other to greatness. Great comic book story telling at its best. Tony S. Daniel is a spectacular comic artist by the way. This should be a five star story but it does have a few weak moments. Can not wait to read the doomsday story.

Two people are dead and 16 others are injured after a gunman opened fire at an unsanctioned university Halloween party near Texas A&M University-Commerce on Saturday night.
A manhunt is underway for the perpetrator, who opened fire at the homecoming party in Greenville, Texas.
Chief Deputy Buddy Oxford of the Hunt County Sherriff's Office said the gunman used a semiautomatic rifle, but their motive was not known, CNN reported.
Gunshots were heard at around 11.45 p.m. on Saturday at The Party Venue, an event space on the Highway 380. Greenville is a city located around 50 miles northeast of Dallas.
Authorities responded to complaints of vehicles parked near the event space, and the shooting began approximately 15 minutes later.
Police did not fire their weapons because they never saw the gunman.
Graphic videos shared on social media show bodies strewn on the floor covered in blood and at least one person receiving CPR as people are heard screaming in the background.
There were about 750 people at the party, the Chief Deputy said. It was said to involve a Texas A&M University fraternity but was not sanctioned by the school.
The event was reportedly a Halloween-themed party called #Twerkortreat and was held 16 miles away from the campus.
The university said in a statement: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, families, and friends of those affected by this morning's shooting in Greenville, Texas."
CBS 11 News reporter J.D. Miles tweeted: "Reports from Greenville of a mass shooting at party venue with several casualties."
"Multiple first responders on the scene. I'm told it was a homecoming party and there were fatalities."

The brand-new timeline was presented to sustain Taxed Individuals impacted by the precautionary actions carried out to curb the spread of the unique Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The restriction on importing waterpipe tobacco and electrically heated cigarettes that do not carry Digital Tax Stamps, which began in March 2020, stays basically.
The Federal Tax Obligation Authority (FTA) asserted that its recent choice to postpone the last step of phase two of the Marking as well as Tobacco Products Scheme up until January 1, 2021, does not influence the initial 2 steps that were already implemented, nor does it influence the Excise Tax rates.
The decision just refers to the last action of phase two, which contains outlawing the supply, transfer, storage, as well as belongings of waterpipe (understood in Arabic as 'Mu'assel') and electrically warmed cigarettes that do not carry the authorities Digital Tax obligation Stamps (DTS) in the UAE.
The Authority explained that the decision to postpone this action came in support of Taxable Persons that were impacted by the preventive procedures executed to curb the spread of the unique Coronavirus (COVID-19). These preventative measures included the momentary closures of cafés as well as restaurants and a ban on offering waterpipes, the FTA kept in mind, clarifying that this avoided certain producers, representatives, importers, as well as stockpilers of waterpipe tobacco as well as electrically heated cigarettes from meeting the formerly established deadlines as well as marketing their unmarked stock before June 1, 2020.
With that said in mind, the Authority issued the choice to postpone the execution of the final step of the System's second phase till January 1, 2021.
The FTA published an Explanation about its decision-- one of a collection of Public Clarifications readily available on its main site to inform Taxable Persons about all elements of the tax legislations, allowing them to properly and also effectively adhere to policies.
The Authority showed that, based on Cupboard Choice No. (42) of 2018 as well as FTA Choice No. (2) of 2019 on Marking Tobacco and also Tobacco Products, the very first step of stage 2 of the Scheme went into effect on November 1, 2019, when importers as well as UAE-based manufacturers of waterpipe cigarette and also electrically warmed cigarettes could start ordering Digital Tax Stamps to place on the product packaging of their items.
Adhering to that, and also since March 1, 2020, importing unmarked waterpipe cigarette or electrically warmed cigarettes was banned in the UAE.
The FTA insisted that these two actions, which have actually currently been applied, will continue to be in force and will not be affected by the decision to postpone the final step of stage two, keeping in mind that Customs Departments will be undertaking their normal checks on the assigned products to make sure compliance. The brand-new choice will not affect the ban on importing any kind of Designated Excise Item that do not carry the Digital Tax Stamps into the UAE.
In its Explanation, the Authority kept in mind that the Choice to delay the last step of phase 2 of the Marking Tobacco and also Products Plan provides a chance for organisations that supply, transfer, store, or have waterpipe and also electrically heated cigarettes to sell off any type of unmarked Designated Import tax Product. The FTA acknowledges the problem of the current circumstance, which saw a short-term closure of lots of businesses, making them not able to offer their items ahead of June 1, 2020. These services will now have an extra seven months to sell off their supplies of unmarked items, or make alternate arrangements such as exporting them outside the country.
The Federal Tax obligation Authority took place to state that by January 1, 2021, all sorts of waterpipe and electrically heated cigarettes circulating in the UAE should be noted with a valid Digital Tax Stamp, and also it will certainly be forbidden to provide, move, store, or have these products if they are unmarked.

Readers would be well advised to look into the role of Senator Phil Gramm (R,Texas and part of the McCain campaign), in this. He was one of the sponsors of the bill to repeal the Glass Steigel Act that had stood for 70 years to prevent the kind of meltdown that happened in 1929. He later was involved with the Enron fiasco. Bill Clinton signed the bill that Gramm sponsored into law. This did away with a lot of regulation. This change and the repeal of the uptick rule had a lot to do with the current crisis IMO.

"...Readers would be well advised to look into the role of Senator Phil Gramm (R,Texas and part of the McCain campaign), in this..."Yep.
The uptick rule was also a very old rule (1938)that prevented the short selling "bear raids" that have recently been happening on companies and their stocks. For some reason it was repealed last year and as I understand it, one of the supporters of the repeal was the CEO of Lehman Brothers. Not sure who that was at the time.
A modern-day bank run occurred for many financial investors.If a body dehydrates, it falls over and if it gets worse it can die. Likewise the financial system is starved of liquidity right now so the central banks will have to keep providing it.This liquidity is measured by the TED SPREAD and as investors withdrawing money from brokerage, money-market and bank accounts the credit markets virtually seized up during the first three days of last weekMost of these money went into the three-month U.S. Treasury Bill which is considered to be a beacon of safety.This in turn sent the yields to nearly 0% – its lowest level in more than 60 years.

For your knowledge Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said in a radio address that he ``fully supports'' Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke's efforts to stabilize the financial system. The plan, however, should benefit both main street and Wall Street, he said.Republican Presidential nominee John McCain ``looks forward'' to reviewing the proposal while focusing at least in part on ``minimizing the burden on the taxpayer,'' said Jill Hazelbaker, communications director for the McCain campaign.it is certainly a coup. More than one blog commentator has noted that the US is moving rapidly from 'Free capitalist society' towards Stalinism. The police state security systems, eternal wars and government-controlled banks and industries is very Stalinist or Naziism.

Talk to anyone who owns a house, or a car, and they'll tell you what deflation is:In modern credit-based economies, a deflationary spiral may be caused by the (central bank) initiating higher interest rates (i.e., to 'control' inflation), thereby possibly popping an asset bubble or the collapse of a command economy which has been run at a higher level of production than it could actually support. In a credit-based economy, a fall in money supply leads to markedly less lending, with a further sharp fall in money supply, and a consequent sharp fall-off in demand for goods. Demand falls, and with the falling of demand, there is a fall in prices as a supply glut develops. This becomes a deflationary spiral when prices fall below the costs of financing production. Businesses, unable to make enough profit no matter how low they set prices, are then liquidated. Banks get assets which have fallen dramatically in value since the (mortgage) loan was made, and if they sell those assets, they further glut supply, which only exacerbates the situation. To slow or halt the deflationary spiral, banks will often withhold collecting on non-performing loans (as in Japan, most recently). This is often no more than a stop-gap measure, because they must then restrict credit, since they do not have money to lend, which further reduces demand, and so on.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflation_(economics)
Exactly.I don't see how the USD can remain the world's reserve currency.With the latest bailout we have removed a precious element of what made our system great: bad companies fail and are replaced by good ones.Now the bad companies are entrenched into the system regardless of their performance and will have quasi-governmental powers. Our banks and financial companies will get worse and worse at what they do, absent the discipline of free-market forces.Like this hedger said, the dollar will get crushed. Thank you, anon, for the link to the US Dollar Short Index. I'm not saying everyone should pile all their money into it, but 10% of your portfolio seems reasonable.
Our nation is the greatest nation in the world. The world trusts the U.S. Now we are going through a crisis. But we will come out stronger in the end. If you are an American, then be optimistic.

CARY – Losing your top goal-scorer to a season-ending injury (Alessia Russo) and another key contributor (Emily Fox) to the U.S. Women’s National Team would be a major blow to nearly every team in the country.
For No. 3 North Carolina, those losses still sting but it’s something you just deal with. It helps to have as much depth as the Tar Heels do.
Just don’t say the word depth around Anson Dorrance.
“Everyone talks about our depth,” the UNC head coach said. “Do you know that we have the same amount of scholarship money as all the other schools? We basically have the same number of players as most of them do. There’s a difference between what we do and what everyone else does: we play our depth.”
Could a team really have depth if it didn’t actually make use of its reserves? Semantics aside, the Tar Heels did indeed “play (their) depth” Friday night in their 1-0 win against No. 23 Clemson in the semifinals of the ACC Championship, a result that earned them a spot in Sunday’s title game against No. 7 Florida State. UNC (17-2-1, 10-0-0 ACC) is now one victory away from repeating as conference champions.
They have Rachael Dorwart to thank for that. The first-year forward’s 65th-minute goal from close range was the difference maker on a night where UNC had the majority of the scoring opportunities – they outshot Clemson 10-4 and took nine corner kicks to the Tigers’ two – but didn’t always look keen on making them count. Oddly enough, Dorrance thought UNC looked better in the scoreless first half than it did after halftime, when the decisive goal came.
Having notched the match-winner against the Tigers, Dorwart’s first year at the college level is currently bookended by goals. The Mechanicsburg, Penn., scored in UNC’s season opener on Aug. 16, but saw her playing time decrease because of defensive struggles after starting in the Tar Heels’ first six games and hadn’t scored since then.
“If I recruit a kid … if she’ll defend for me, I’ll play her,” Dorrance said.
The message was received by Dorwart.
“Just not getting as much playing time, I realized that something needed to change,” Dorwart said. “So I just started working on it, committing myself to it every day in practice and it just got better over time.”
Getting better defensively gave Dorwart the chance to showcase what’s she capable of on offense.
Against the Tigers, she started a give-and-go with first-year midfielder Rachel Jones, whose precise service back to Dorwart gave her a good look at goal from just a handful of yards out.
With a defender at her side and Clemson goalkeeper Sandy MacIver closing in, Dorwart deftly finished from the near post.
What was Dorwart’s reaction to her first goal in two and a half months, one that came after lessons were learned about what’s needed to be successful at the college level?
“It’s amazing,” she said. “It’s such a good feeling. I just know it was a team effort and they all had my back.”
There’s no replacing Russo, the ACC Offensive Player of the Year who scored a team-high six goals before breaking her leg against Wake Forest in the regular-season finale. The same can be said about Fox, who was deemed talented enough by U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Jill Ellis to bring along for a European trip that features matches against Portugal and Scotland from Nov. 8-13.
Yet, UNC is making due. With a spot in the conference title game on the line, the team with six All-ACC selections counted on a player with just one shot on goal in her previous nine matches to be the difference maker.
The last thing Dorrance wants is a pity party.
“You’re never going to hear me whine about anything or lay a list of excuses,” he said. “I don’t expect that from any of my players, and I certainly will never allow myself to do that. So, we have a 30-player roster for a reason.”
And as a result, the Tar Heels will play for another ACC Tournament title on Sunday.

Skip to comments.L.A. Crips gang founder executed in Calif.
Posted on 12/13/2005 7:12:49 AM PST by kellynla
SAN QUENTIN, Calif. (AP) -- Convicted killer Stanley Tookie Williams, the Crips gang co-founder whose case stirred a national debate about capital punishment versus the possibility of redemption, was executed early Tuesday.
Williams, 51, died at 12:35 a.m. Officials at San Quentin State Prison seemed to have trouble injecting the lethal mixture into his muscular arm. As they struggled to find a vein, Williams looked up repeatedly and appeared frustrated, shaking his head at supporters and other witnesses.
"You doing that right?" it sounded as if he asked one of the men with a needle.
After he was declared dead, his supporters shouted in unison: "The state of California just killed an innocent man," as they walked out of the chamber
The case became the state's highest-profile execution in decades. Hollywood stars and capital punishment foes argued that Williams' sentence should be commuted to life in prison because he had made amends by writing children's books about the dangers of gangs and violence.
In the days leading up to the execution, state and federal courts refused to reopen his case. Monday, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger denied Williams' request for clemency, suggesting that his supposed change of heart was not genuine because he had not shown any real remorse for the killings committed by the Crips.
"Is Williams' redemption complete and sincere, or is it just a hollow promise?" Schwarzenegger wrote. "Without an apology and atonement for these senseless and brutal killings, there can be no redemption."
Williams was condemned in 1981 for gunning down convenience store clerk Albert Owens, 26, at a 7-Eleven in Whittier and killing Yen-I Yang, 76, Tsai-Shai Chen Yang, 63, and the couple's daughter Yu-Chin Yang Lin, 43, at the Los Angeles motel they owned. Williams claimed he was innocent.

>>After he was declared dead, his supporters shouted in unison: "The state of California just killed an innocent man," as they walked out of the chamber.<<
Wrong. An innocent man was shot in the back twice by Tookie in 1979.
The tookster didn't conduct his executions swiftly and perfectly as we are told his victims gurgled after they were shot so I don't see where he should be criticizing the state just because they missed a vein on the first try.
And if anyone had any doubts about this murder's guilt and/or record;
here it is for all to read.
"After Williams blasted a football-sized hole in Albert Owens' back as he lay face-down on the floor of the 7-Eleven where he worked, the gang leader laughed about the "gurgling" noises the 26-year-old divorced father of two made as he died, according to trial testimony.
"And after Williams gunned down Yen-I Yang, 76, his wife, Tsai-Shai, 63, and their daughter, Yee-Chen Lin, 43, when he robbed their family-run motel, he bragged of killing "Buddha-heads," according to his pals' testimony."
"The state of California just killed an innocent man,"
If this is their definition of INNOCENT, I would hate to see their definition of GUILTY.
This single man is responsible for 4 murders and thousands more black-on-black murders and crimes.
This single man is responsible for more Blacks being incarcerated for gang related crimes than any other.
I personally liked this news brief...
"News: Killer "Tookie Williams" Out of Options
A former leader of the Crips gang and convicted murderer "Tookie
Williams" lost all avenues for clemency on Monday.
Though he claimed he was reformed (as did various celebs like Snoop Dogg and Jamie Foxx) Governator Schwarzenegger said he lacked sincerity and wouldn't even admit to his crimes.
Some liberals were worried about the gap in the Children's Book market that will be left behind following Williams' execution."
No more Children's books : (
Excellent data. Notice that Tookie shot out the monitor, NOT THE CAMERA! Is tha tape available?
If either of his two criminal sons do something to face the death penalty, they can throw themselves on the mercy of the court because they're orphans.
yep your right - they should have cut his head off and suffed the needle down the gaping hole a top his rotten body.
May he rot in Hell for all eternity.
They should have given Tookie the needle, I am sure he had planty of practice finding those veins.
Has anyone in the media anywhere called Tookie a racist? If he had been caucasian would they have called him anything but a racist?
He was married? LOL
Continuous Revolution In Progress, yo!
The only good Crip is a dead Crip.
Where's the rioting....tookie's groupies told everyone there were going to be major rioting over his death. NO RIOTING HAPPENING...

Many readers may think that the male lead character’s image is the most important in a romance story. He must be handsome, sexy, powerful and righteous, a perfect saviour to the vulnerable and helpless female lead character who will be always on her side and saving her out of her shit world. And that seems like all the women and girls’ dreams.
But here is an interesting thing: many romance authors are unconsciously paying more attention to building up the image of the female lead character. They are projecting the dream version of themselves in their stories, and helping her match a guy who really deserves her.
Neener Beener is an example that the Writers Academy has observed. Her fabulous work of “Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future” offers a most admirable, adorable and lovable female lead character, Kas, in the romance world.
Kindness seems to be a necessary virtue for all the heroines in romance stories, so common that it can almost be ignored when portraying the heroine's image, like a default setting. But in “Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future”, this is the heroine's greatest characteristic, and the most powerful weapon to capture the readers, for the reason that her kindness is so real.
In her past life before she met her hero, she was nice to everyone, even including those bad guys. It is not a weakness, but more like a principle of doing no harm. Because hatred and resentment can unleash tremendous dark forces, driving people to take revenge or attack. But Kas had never thought about that.
Even in her worst situations, she still gives best wishes to anyone she likes, not only silently in her mind, but also acts out by preparing gifts or offering services. She is that kind of human who really knows how to love, and this is the source of her kindness. Because of this, she finally attracts friends who will treat her as a treasure.
As all the heroines at the beginning of the story, she keeps a low profile for being wrongly treated and terribly hurt. But the rare thing is that she never gives up on herself, but tries to do her job well, no matter whether her work is too heavy and unfair, she never shirks her responsibility. Such spiritual power, in her poor situation and weak appearance, appears to be firm and persevere.
She also has an amazing sense of humour. At the time of being injured, facing strangers she couldn’t fully trust, she was still able to play funny gestures or jokes to amuse them, only because they had once helped her. What a powerful and righteous girl, just like a hero! And in fact, this is an important factor later making her match her hero from inside out so much.
Her Guts “Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future”
There is a huge misunderstanding among romance readers, even authors: the female lead in a love story does not need to grow, but only wait for the male lead’s rescue and protection. So we have seen so many truly weak girls in romance novels.
But in “Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future”, Kas also gets her man’s rescue and protection, but she never stops growing. At first, she was unaware of it because she didn’t find her innate gift. And when she acknowledged it, she stepped forward to use her gift as self-protection. It tells that growth needs some conditions, as well as guts.
Kas’s kindness, toughness, and guts push her to grow more and more powerful in the story, not only in her hero’s arms, but also in the readers’ eyes. It is her growth that makes her story full of twists and turns, much more intriguing than other romance stories.
And, it is an author’s hard mission to draw a sharply and smoothly up-and-down growth curve for his/her lead character. “Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future” is a classic model for this mission.
If you want to know how to draw a character’s growth curve as wonderfully as Neener Beener did, please pay attention to our writing course at the Writers Academy.

With the festive season setting in, everyone looks forward to warm gatherings with family and friends. What happens when the one thing that guarantees warmth – the furnace – gives out? Not every furnace breakdown is foreseen, but with this step-by-step guide, homeowners in Vacaville, CA, can ensure they’re never caught off-guard. The festive spirit doesn’t have to suffer because of unexpected hitches in home heating. Alamo Heating & Cooling explains it all!
1. Safety First
Always prioritize safety above everything else. If the furnace emits strange smells or an unfamiliar noise, turn it off immediately. Natural gas smells like rotten eggs. If that scent is noticeable, evacuate the premises and call a professional. Remember, in potential gas leaks, never light a match or turn on lights, as it may ignite the gas.
2. Check the Thermostat
Sometimes, the root of the problem isn’t complex. It might just be a thermostat set too low, or it’s not functioning. Before jumping to conclusions about a complete furnace breakdown, ensure the thermostat is set to heat, and the temperature is adjusted to a comfortable level. If the device uses batteries, check them as well.
3. Examine the Circuit Breaker
The furnace might not be the culprit at all. It could be an electrical glitch. Inspect the circuit breaker to make sure it hasn’t tripped. If the switch dedicated to the furnace is in the “off” position, flip it back on. If it trips again, there’s an underlying electrical issue that requires attention.
4. Inspect the Air Filters
Blocked or dirty air filters restrict airflow, causing the furnace to overwork, leading to potential breakdowns. Homeowners should make it a practice to check air filters at least once a month, especially during heavy usage seasons.
Furthermore, using high-quality filters can make a significant difference. Not only do they last longer, but they also filter out particulates more effectively, ensuring cleaner, fresher air inside [IAQ] the home and optimal furnace performance. Regularly replacing these filters ensures efficiency and longevity for the heating system.
5. Keep Vents and Registers Clear
Ensure that all vents and registers in the home are open and unblocked. Closed vents can cause an imbalance in the heating system, leading to potential problems.
6. Emergency Furnace Repair: When to Call in the Experts
While DIY solutions can be a quick fix, there are times when only a professional can help. If homeowners have tried the aforementioned steps and the furnace is still not working, or if there’s evidence of more severe issues like water leaks or excessive soot, it’s time to seek professional emergency furnace repair.
Alamo Heating & Cooling offers top-notch furnace repair solutions six days a week to get heating systems up and running efficiently. It’s always wise to schedule maintenance and repair during business hours when experts are available.
7. Staying Warm While Waiting
In the interim, before the furnace is back up and running, homeowners should:
- Bundle Up: Layering is a natural and efficient way to stay warm.
- Use Space Heaters: They can provide localized heating but ensure they’re used safely, keeping them away from flammable materials.
- Reverse Ceiling Fans: This pushes warm air down and circulates it, aiding in maintaining a comfortable room temperature.
- Seal Drafts: Check windows and doors for drafts and seal them with towels or draft guards.
8. Preventative Measures for the Future
Prevention is always better than seeking a cure. Regular maintenance checks, cleaning, and timely replacement of worn-out parts can keep the furnace in optimum condition.
Vacaville, CA, homeowners should make it a routine to have their heating system inspected at least once a year, preferably before winter. This proactive approach can save money and time and ensure a cozy, problem-free holiday season.
Alamo Heating & Cooling: Furnace Repair Experts
A furnace breakdown doesn’t have to spell disaster during the holidays. With proactive care,
knowledge, and timely intervention, homeowners in Vacaville, CA, can ensure their homes remain a warm haven during the festive season.
Moreover, understanding the intricacies of the furnace system can empower homeowners to address minor issues on their own, fostering a sense of independence and confidence. However, when the situation is beyond a quick fix, trusting professionals becomes paramount.
Remember, staying warm is not just about comfort; it’s about ensuring safety and health during chilly days. Contact Alamo Heating & Cooling for top-tier furnace repair and maintenance services.


The US has made no secret of its desire to have the Australians on board
With conflict in Iraq appearing more likely, the US is set to seek involvement of at least two key Australian military capabilities. They are the Special Air Service regiment and RAAF air-to-air refuelling aircraft, which have both operated effectively within the US-dominated coalition against terror. Both have also won high praise from the US military.With the war on terror slowing in Afghanistan, both theoretically would be available for another campaign.
Australian commanders have been cautious not to comment on a possible Iraq involvement. The official government line is that no invitation has been received from the US, and if and when it arrives it will be considered on merits.
But the US has made no secret of its desire to have the Australians on board. Major General John Vines, the US commander of coalition forces at the main US base at Bagram, Afghanistan, said Australian special forces had skills and capabilities US forces did not possess and they would be most useful in any conflict in Iraq.

Y’all so damn messy. *shakes head* Yes, it’s official. Y’all realllly love drama. That’s the only explanation for why Drake’s “Back to Back”-a DISS track that Drake probably made in 20 minutes after drinking a cup of Hennessy was nominated for a gotdamn Grammy. Y’all like mess.
Ok. I admit-I like mess too. I can’t deny how fun it was to see two rappers go back and forth about who’s a better rapper, who gets more women, and who’s a punk ass b*tch, but never ever EVER did I think we’d be in this place.
“What place?” you ask. The place where there is a possibility that Aubrey Drake Graham will win an actual GRAMMY for a Meek Mill diss record.
I also have to admit that there are plenty of reasons to make a diss track about Meek Mill. He’s petty, he’s loud, he’s childish, and he airs his dirty laundry out via social media. Not a very likable guy. But I gotta know-just what exactly ARE the qualifications for getting a Grammy nomination?
I do know the Academy receives about 20,000 submissions a year…I can imagine it takes a while to go through submissions and narrow things down. But I can say that I honestly wish I could have been a fly on the wall when “Back to Back” came across their table. Like I want to know what the conversation was about. Did they just laugh incessantly at Meek Mill’s pain, or did they really dissect the song?
I don’t know. I’m just gonna be completely honest and say-I think the Academy is petty as hell. They love mess just like all the rest of us. They got a kick out of Drake embarrassing Meek in front of the entire world, and now, Drake has a Grammy nomination because of it. Anyway…maybe I’m being too harsh. After all, LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” was nominated back in 1990. But again, that just proves what I thought from the beginning-We so damn messy.
What do you think? Should “Back to Back” have been nominated for a Grammy?
