1. Who is your favorite Frozen character (or characters) and why?
- Elsa. I relate to her so much and she has the perfect dress.
2. Which is your favorite Frozen song (or songs) and why?
- Let It Go. It's basically the theme song to my life. "The cold never bothered me anyway" is pretty much my life motto.
3. If you could make one change to the movie, what would it be?
- I would have put more focus on Elsa's character development. She's obviously the most well liked character, but we don't know a lot about her personality aside from how it relates to Anna.
4. Would you want to see a Frozen sequel? What would you want it to be about?
- They only way I'd want a sequel is if Arendelle was getting invaded and Elsa used her magic to defend her kingdom.
5. Ice Palace or Arendelle Castle?
- I'd say Ice Palace because it's pretty, but I like curing up in a warm bed so Arendelle Castle.
6. If you could choose a sidekick from the movie, would you choose Sven or Olaf? Why?
- Sven. I love Olaf, but in small doses.
7. Do you think all men pick their noses, are Kristoff claimed?
- Well I don't so...
8. Which Frozen character is the most like you (or the one you relate to most) and why?
- Elsa. I identify with her struggle and I can relate to it in that I dealt with the same stuff before coming out. I always had to "conceal, don't feel, don't let it show" and then something happened and I just let it go. I'm also very protective of the people I love and I would do anything to keep then safe even if it means distancing myself from them.
9. How many times have you seen Frozen so far?
- 4 in theatres, 5 on DVD.
10. In keeping with my overall blog theme, ;) which of the Frozen dolls that have been released is your favorite? (e.g. the Disney Store fashion dolls, Disney Store Disney Animator's Collection and Toddler dolls, Limited Edition Disney Store dolls, Mattel dolls, etc)
- I don't have her, but the LE Elsa in her ice dress is definitely my favourite Frozen doll. Sucks I'll probably never have her.
I´m interested in buddhism and bought this figure of Buddha....and I find the figure of Buddha very inspiring and beautiful...
Folding Mechanism
Nodular Octahedral Double Layered Expandable Truss
The invention relates to foldable structures. The invention has many applications, but is basically concerned with a structure which takes up very little space when folded, but can then be expanded to cover a large area or occupy a large space. One particularly important use is to provide a structure in space, for example for use as a satellite dish or space platform, the structure being relatively strong, but relatively light in weight.
Large space structures can be constructed using this node and link module truss as a subunit.
The folding mechanism of the truss is basically two pivotally interconnected diametrically opposed tripods.
Robotics. wave energy" "mechanical rope" "Transport suspension systems" "double skin hulls" "nano technology" "temporary shelters to name but a few applications.It could be well suited for tuneable antenna dishes.
The word Endurance as an Adjective is defined as:
denoting or relating to a race or other sporting event that takes place over a long distance or otherwise demands great physical stamina.
However, I feel the best way to describe how this season has gone is to use the Noun definition of the word: the fact or power of enduring an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way
The 3rd and final race of the 2016 season was held at the postponed Bang Saen Festival of Speed. The championship standings showed the #36 Toyota with such a commanding lead from the first two races that only a small miracle would see TR-Motorsport crowned as champions. However unlikely it may be the scenario was Thomas and the DC5 to finish in first while the Toyota failed to cross the line at all, being the slowest car on the grid - this was tall order!
As with all the endurance races this season the team was beset by mechanical issues.During the extended practice period, gearbox and clutch problems arose resulting in a complete change out of the gearbox. Luckily this rectified the problems and the team were ready for qualifying. Tony Percy, longtime friend of the team and co-driver took the reins of the Honda Integra DC5, with the previous issues still fresh in his mind Tony gently eased the car through qualifying and into a respectable 9th place, which is was an outstanding achievement considering that there were 61 other cars on the track at the same time all vying for a clean lap.
As with all endurance races the 6 hours is split between drivers, for the first stint, Tony pushed the Integra into 7th before the first changeover. The safety car period eventually became a red flagged race and all cars returned to the pits resulting in the team losing any advantage they had gained. Seven cars had been involved in the on-track pileup and although this meant fewer cars in the race and more space on track it took several hours to remove the cars and fix the damaged barriers.
At the restart, Thomas powered his way into 2nd place overall and was somehow setting faster times than the leading Toyota. He consolidated his position up until the next driver change however the gremlins were back playing with the clutch again causing the car to struggle to change gear. Eventually, all the gears except 4th had failed with Tony limping around the circuit. The decision was then made to pit early and see if the issue could be solved. No fix could be applied so it was 4th gear all the way to the chequered flag for the final 1 hour 24 minutes. Ironically the leading Toyota crashed several times and finished dead last but this was still enough to win the championship. TR-Motorsport finished 4th in class,later promoted to 3rd as another team had received a 30 lap penalty for a jump start behind the safety car.
TR-Motorsports final position in the Enduring Endurance Championship was 3rd in class, with just a little bit more luck who knows what might have been……
Super Production Class
Race One
An eventful weekend of racing greeted TR-Motorsport at the final rounds of the Thailand Super Series held at the picturesque Bang Saen Beach Street Circuit. The final event had been postponed from November ’16 to February ’17 due to the passing of the late King. With the postponement came a long gap giving us the perfect opportunity to concentrate on some R & D in the hope of closing the gap to Championship Victor Hideharu Kuroki. After some minor tweaks to the car, a major redesign of the front Air Intake was undertaken which provided very encouraging results after completing several simulations on the Dyno equipment.
Simulations are all well and good, however, it’s on the track where it counts and Thomas fully obliged with the fastest lap around the circuit in official practice. When qualifying began both Thomas and Hideharu were setting fastest lap after fastest lap, nip and tuck all the way. Eventually, Thomas managed to claim a fantastic Pole Position by just one-tenth of a second from Hideharu, being Pole on a tight and twisty circuit is always vital so the race to the first corner could possibly decide the race.
Due to our first gear ratio being longer and the race to the first corner uphill we knew wewould be at a disadvantage. Thomas got off the line perfectly and stormed up the hill defending his line to the left to try and outwit Hideharu who was virtually alongside the ‘Blue Blur’, paint was traded several times before Hideharu backed out and slotted in behind to mount another challenge. The final corner of lap 1 caused a gasp from the TR-Motorsport team and fans as Hideharu once again tried a move, this time on the inside but again showed professionalism by backing off at the right time.
By the middle of lap 2 Thomas had pulled out a small lead and held on for the remainder of the race even breaking the lap record on several occasions, Hideharu pushed Thomas all the way to the chequered flag and saw his 100% record gone as Thomas, 10 years after his first win at Bang Saen came home with the spoils and a much needed 20 points, cementing his second place position in the championship.
Race 2
After the elation of the previous victory had faded, the team of mechanics led by Sven Thummel got to work on the car to check everything over and prepare for Race 2. The team soon spotted an issue with the wishbones as the bushings were damaged and as a precautionary measure these were duly replaced. As with all previous rounds, the top 5 finishers from Race 1 started in reverse order meaning Thomas would start from 5th. As the cars assembled on the grid all looked good and a top 3 position looked more than possible.
As the car left for the warm lap Thomas felt an issue with the steering although not terminal, Thomas made the wisest choice to visit the pits to try and ascertain what the issue was. The team of mechanics could not find anything obvious so the car headed back out on track. People reading this familiar with the rules and regulations of motorsport, will of course know that our little visit to the pits would mean starting at the back of the grid, this was only compounded by the fact that due to a miscommunication with the stewards we forced to wait at the pit lane exit some 600 meters away from the back of the grid!
Regular readers will know that we have had similar issues before and still come out on top. However, today was not going to be one of those days! The first 3 laps of the race went perfectly with Thomas making his way through the field from a lowly 19th to a respectable 10th. The racing gods were smiling on us as a safety car deployment bunched the whole pack back up and with 9 laps to go top 3 was still an outside possibility. In came the safety car down went the throttle and that's where the problems began, a massive loss of power resulted in cars streaming past a limping Thomas. On the pit to car radio turning the electrics on and off to reset the car,was suggested - it worked! But by now Thomas was once again at the back of the grid. For the remaining laps, a valiant Thomas fought back to a very respectful 8th place and again set the fastest lap and broke the track record for the Super Production Class.
After the race, the car was checked over by the official Thailand Super Series scrutineers and as with all races we have competed in this year,they found nothing to report. Although dejected the team were still in good spirits after another great week of motorsport at Bang Saen Beach and look forward to returning in July to compete in the GTC Supercar Class with the new Porsche 911 (997).

I’ll relate to y’all, my beautiful readers, a simple tale of an ordinary average Central Texas Trumpet Case Bear. It was 95 degrees F (35 C) out of doors. Little Texas Aggie Trumpet Case Bear was about to go into heat exhaustion (symptom before heat stroke).
Alamo Basement Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring whispered to me, “We need to get frozen Margaritas into the little bear immediately before he goes into a coma and dies. Have you looked at the price of black market bears lately?” I pulled out the large container for the Ninja and fired it up.
After about quatro or cinco Margaritas necesitas, Little Texas Aggie Osa (bear) was starting to feel much, much better. At this point, there was a spilt Margarita. It’s not important who spilt the Margarita, but it did totally soak Little Texas Aggie Bear.
I for one, am not about to allow a trumpet case bear who smells of tequila and is all sticky, near my 1947 Rudy Mück jazz trumpet. I had two options — Take him out to the woods and shoot him or — give him a bath in the kitchen sink.
Bears know how to swim. In fact, they love water. In some states, they will come into your backyard and take the waters in your swimming pool or jacuzzi. There are videos on YouTube.
I sanitized the sink and prepared a nice, warm bubble bath for Little Texas Aggie Bear. He hesitantly lowered himself into the sink. He let out a “bear sigh” of pleasure. When I took out the camera, Little Texas Aggie Bear started to cry. “What’s wrong?” asked Alamo Basement Aggie Ring.
“It’s the bubble bath.” sobbed the little bear. “If anyone in the Trumpet Case Bear Union sees those photos, I’ll loose my certification and be forced to become the worst sort of bear ever — a tuba/Sousaphone case bear.”
I assured the little bear that no one would ever see any of these photos and think that he’s some sort of “Barbie Dream House” bear. This seemed to put him at ease and please him.
After I rinsed him a couple of times, Aggie Ring and I realized we had a very, very wet bear to deal with. “If you don’t get him dry soon. He’ll start to smell like wet dog!” said Aggie Ring.
My first thought was, “Well… the ceiling fan will get him dry! I’ll just hang him up by the neck to it.” Sadly, when I turned on the fan, Aggie Bear went flying across the room and onto the hard floor like a child who wasn’t strapped in properly in a Disney World wild ride.

I am sure that most people will relate to that ‘Monday Morning Feeling’. The dreaded realization upon waking that it is NOT Saturday or Sunday. It’s not even any other weekday. It’s Monday. The day when you long for that extra half-hour in bed more than on any other day of the week. The day when, due to some meteorological quirk of nature, the weather, more often than not, is depressing. The day when you question your career choice!
I was certainly no different. As an Art teacher for nearly 35 years, I would make my way up the school drive wondering whether some mutated virus may just possibly have incapacitated only the disruptive pupils in the school. In the Winter there was always the possibility that the heating system had broken down and the pupils would be sent home, or the pipes had burst over the weekend. The reality for a Monday was that staff absence would be heavier than normal and, if one had a non-contact period (can’t call them ‘free’ periods any more), looking at the daily ‘cover’ list would see one’s name down to take class 9Z for ‘Life Skills’ or something similar because Miss Binge had a ‘migraine’ or Mr. Skiver had developed the ‘workshy virus’.
By mid-morning break, of course, usually, one’s mood had returned to normal and life really didn’t seem that bad. In order to militate against the likelihood of a mass-suicide pact in the staffroom on a Monday morning, I began to produce a ‘Picture of the Week’ with a caption beneath, for the ‘Cover Noticeboard’. These raised a smile and I was sometimes asked for a copy. I have begun to upload them here for the benefit of anyone who has a similar sense of humour to myself! I will upload the first few and then add to them on a weekly basis.
Feel free to add your own caption.

some work relating to David Hume being projected onto the monumental column in St Andrew's Square - sorry, no tripod so rather fuzzy picture I'm afraid, must come back round the various spots some evening with the tripod, although as some of the projections are animated not sure that will help! Will have to try though! In this case the letters scampered right up the height of the towering column above and back down to the base as we watched
The enLIGHTen project sees quotes from contemporary writers responding to quotes from Scottish Englightenment era writers and thinkers like Allan Ramsay or David Hume, the words being projected onto buildings in the New Town (which we still call new even though it predates the founding of the United State! That's new in Edinburgh terms!). It will run from March 1st to 18th, must try to get round them and take some picture of the various spots

Dundalk overwhelm Bangor in All Ireland Final
by Roger Corbett
Bangor’s amazing run in the All Ireland Junior Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively beaten by Dundalk, eventually losing by 55-5.
Where do you start when trying to relate and absorb the events of Saturday’s final at Chambers Park? Firstly, congratulations to worthy winners Dundalk who nullified the Bangor attack, then went on to produce some stunning plays which racked up no less than 8 tries, each by a different player. For Bangor’s part, they were unable to respond to the intensity of Dundalk’s game, and lacked the cutting edge which their opponents used to great effect.
The day started full of promise, as the strong support from North Down made their way to Chambers Park in Portadown, knowing Bangor would be fielding their best team. Once again, the pundits had Bangor as the underdogs – just as they had done so in the previous three rounds! In confounding the experts earlier, Bangor produced some awesome performances against top quality opposition to get to the final. Dundalk had produced some convincing wins in the early rounds of the competition, but had struggled to get past CIYMS in the semi-final, just managing to squeeze ahead at the second time of asking. However, with a number of key players returning to the side in time for this game, they were now back at full strength and would be a formidable force to contend with.
Having won the toss, captain Jamie Clegg elected to play into the stiff wind in the first half. For the first 5 minutes, Bangor doggedly retained possession and tried to play their way into Dundalk’s half through a series of determined forward moves. However, little ground was made and, when possession was finally lost, the Dundalk back line produced a burst that simply cut through the Bangor defence resulting in an easy touch down under Bangor’s posts for a 7-0 lead.
Bangor stuck to their plan and slowly, but patiently, got their attack moving forward, eventually winning a penalty to the left of Dundalk’s posts, but Mark Widdowson’s kick into the wind drifted just wide of the mark.
The contrast in play between the two teams was becoming clear, with Bangor trying to keep the ball close while Dundalk were throwing it wide. The latter strategy was proving to be the more effective as, with 20 minutes gone, a quick back line move with players looping around resulted in an overlap on the right wing which gave a clear run in to again, score under the posts. A further 9 minutes later, they did it again and, although the Bangor defence had sensed the danger and moved across to cover it, their tackling let them down allowing Dundalk to get over in the right hand corner, taking their lead to 19-0.
By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

Bangor Scorers: David Charles 1 try.
In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.
For many of you, I'll bet part of Memorial Day weekend with your families was a lot like mine. We enjoyed the "unofficial" start of summer soaking up sunshine, cooking outdoors on the grill, and of course, the sounds of squealing kids playing in the water. ;)
Sorry most of the squealing can't be heard over the sound of my laughing. (You gotta love the pause for butt scratching) I hope you all enjoy the kids in your lives as much as I enjoy the ones in mine.
I’ll relate to y’all, my beautiful readers, a simple tale of an ordinary average Central Texas Trumpet Case Bear. It was 95 degrees F (35 C) out of doors. Little Texas Aggie Trumpet Case Bear was about to go into heat exhaustion (symptom before heat stroke).
Alamo Basement Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring whispered to me, “We need to get frozen Margaritas into the little bear immediately before he goes into a coma and dies. Have you looked at the price of black market bears lately?” I pulled out the large container for the Ninja and fired it up.
After about quatro or cinco Margaritas necesitas, Little Texas Aggie Osa (bear) was starting to feel much, much better. At this point, there was a spilt Margarita. It’s not important who spilt the Margarita, but it did totally soak Little Texas Aggie Bear.
I for one, am not about to allow a trumpet case bear who smells of tequila and is all sticky, near my 1947 Rudy Mück jazz trumpet. I had two options — Take him out to the woods and shoot him or — give him a bath in the kitchen sink.
Bears know how to swim. In fact, they love water. In some states, they will come into your backyard and take the waters in your swimming pool or jacuzzi. There are videos on YouTube.
I sanitized the sink and prepared a nice, warm bubble bath for Little Texas Aggie Bear. He hesitantly lowered himself into the sink. He let out a “bear sigh” of pleasure. When I took out the camera, Little Texas Aggie Bear started to cry. “What’s wrong?” asked Alamo Basement Aggie Ring.
“It’s the bubble bath.” sobbed the little bear. “If anyone in the Trumpet Case Bear Union sees those photos, I’ll loose my certification and be forced to become the worst sort of bear ever — a tuba/Sousaphone case bear.”
I assured the little bear that no one would ever see any of these photos and think that he’s some sort of “Barbie Dream House” bear. This seemed to put him at ease and please him.
After I rinsed him a couple of times, Aggie Ring and I realized we had a very, very wet bear to deal with. “If you don’t get him dry soon. He’ll start to smell like wet dog!” said Aggie Ring.

By now, Bangor were trying to hang on until half time when they could regroup and come out with the wind at their backs. Dundalk, on the other hand were anxious to press home their advantage and give them a more comfortable lead. To Bangor’s credit, although camped on their own line for lengthy spells, they dug in and managed to hold on until the referee’s half time whistle.
As the teams reappeared from the dressing rooms, it was obvious Bangor were ringing the changes, particularly in the backs. With the wind advantage having lessened considerably, Bangor got the second half underway. It was now Dundalk’s turn to adopt the slow, steady approach, just as Bangor had done earlier. However, their more confident off-loading and support play was, once again, taking play deep into Bangor’s territory. Frustration at not being able to gain possession and take play out of their danger area eventually resulted in a yellow card for Clegg after a succession of penalties. Dundalk kicked the penalty to touch, won their lineout and drove for the line. Although initially held up by the Bangor defence, Dundalk’s repeated drives were eventually rewarded with another converted score, extending their lead to 26-0.
From the touchline, the Bangor faithful had felt that if their players had managed to score first in the second half, they may have been able to mount a fight-back and close the gap to their opponents. As it was, this Dundalk score simply bolstered their confidence and pushed Bangor deeper into trouble. With Bangor still a man down, Dundalk added to the score with a penalty and then another score in the corner. Everything was now working for the Leinster men, as even the difficult touchline conversion into the biting wind successfully split the posts, bringing the score to 36-0.
As the game entered the final quarter, and with Dundalk all but holding the cup, Bangor were now on the ropes. By contrast, the Dundalk players were in almost total control, and were not going to slow down now. In a 10 minute spell, they ran in a further 3 tries, making the scoreline 55-0. By now, any sense of dejection the Bangor supporters may have been feeling was now moved to feelings of sympathy for their players. However, pride was at stake and once again Bangor rallied as the game entered its final minutes. At last, the forwards got within striking distance of the Dundalk line and, although their repeated attacks were repelled, they finally managed to do what their opponents had done so effectively, and quickly passed the ball wide to Davy Charles. Even though they were 55 points ahead, the Dundalk defence made Charles work hard to drive through the tackles and score Bangor’s consolation try, bringing the final score to 55-5.
From Bangor’s point of view, the final score doesn’t tell the whole story of this competition. While the final may have resulted in a sad anti-climax for Bangor, the remarkable journey to get there will be remembered for some time. On the day, Dundalk were by far the better side, and Bangor would have to concede that their game was not up to the usual standard. However, there is no doubt the experience of competing at this level is something to relish and the goal now will be to secure a top four place in the league and try again next year.
Everybody at the club has nothing but the highest respect and praise for what has been achieved this year by not just the 1sts, but all the senior teams, and one poor result isn’t going to change that – the welcome at Upritchard Park for the returning players is testament to that. With that in mind, the players now need to put this disappointment behind them and provide the best possible response against a struggling Portadown side at home in the league next Saturday.

In front of a big crowd at Chambers Park on Saturday afternoon Dundalk delivered a stunning and ruthless display to see off the challenge of Bangor and capture the All Ireland Junior Cup title for the very first time.
Three first half tries had them firmly in control at 19-0 ahead having played with the elements at the Portadown venue during the first half and while the wind dropped somewhat after half time the Dundalk intensity most certainly didn’t as they cut loose scoring five more tries.
Dundalk returned to a heroes welcome at their Mill Road clubhouse on Saturday night after a display of pure brilliance throughout the afternoon.
Precision, pace and skill from the Louth men from start to finish left Bangor playing second fiddle for long periods.

Tips about how to Prevent Sewer Blockages from Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) in Horace, North Dakota
What exactly is FOG?
FOG relates particularly to fats, oils and grease getting into the sewer system when put down drain pipes in houses, apartments rentals, eating places, market and public venues.
As a end result of cooking, FOG is normally present in:
Baking goods
Butter, lard, shortening
Cooking oil
Fats and oil from cooked meats
Food scraps
Gravy
Mayonnaise
Salad dressings
Sauces
Sour cream
Why is FOG an issue?
Obstruction can cause sewer line overflows in your yard. More often than not, fats, oils and grease are discarded incorrectly in the course of preparing food and kitchen area clean-up. When put down the sink (drain or floors), FOG can accumulate and form up, obstructing clean sewer lines. This build up but not only cuts down on the capability with the wastewater collection system, additionally it changes its usefulness.
In serious instances, obstruction can result in:
Sewage back ups into businesses and homes and
Sewers that flood on to roads and real estate, ultimately pass into nearby rivers, leading to contaminants.
How will you assist?
The simplest way to resolve the grease issue and assist to stop overflows of raw sewage would be to keep this substance out from the sewer system. As a result of education and learning and also by implementing specific behavior, you can easily reduce FOG places in your own home.
In the kitchen area, fats, oils and grease (FOG) will come mainly from pre-rinsing pots and pans or cleaning cookware. When cooking food FOG is permitted to go down the sink, it cools down within the wastewater system and stays with plumbing, making FOG accumulation. The accumulation leads to blockages and backups in businesses and homes, wastewater overflows, and leaks on personal residences, roadways, and local surface areas. FOG accumulation also raises the expense of sustaining Horace wastewater treatment methods, therefore affecting prices and will also generate community health issues.
Suggestions to maintain your drainpipes fat-free:
Put cooled down fats, oils and grease in to a jar and place the jar inside the garbage. If you do not possess a pot, put aluminum foil in to a coffee mug or comparable, add FOG, let it cool and get rid of.
Prior to cleaning, make use of a paper napkin or paper hand towel to clean FOG from pots and pans and dump it inside the garbage.
Use kitchen sink strainers to capture food items waste materials.
Place food leftovers inside the garbage, not over the garbage disposer.
The easiest method to handle grease and fats will be to clean them off of or put them into storage containers and get rid of them in the garbage disposal. By no means place fats or grease down the kitchen sink drain pipes or in to the commode.
There’s a nationwide marketing campaign called “Can the Grease” all through the USA that promotes using correct removal of FOG.
Restaurants along with other business kitchen areas have to have grease traps or interceptors put in. These companies are controlled by inspection regularly by Local personnel. Make sure you call us to learn more.
Exactly what is a grease trap or grease interceptor and just how do you use it?
Grease traps and interceptors are units built to maintain Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) from getting into public sewage lines. They may be found inside of or outside of the kitchen area, based on the application. Generally, they are created to keep FOG-laden discharge for enough time for grease within the water to cool down, firm up and separate from the rest of the waste materials. When the grease has split up, it may be discarded correctly.
Should i use a grease trap or interceptor inside my eatery or food service business?
Any business that deals with any kind of food really should use a grease trap or interceptor. Even smaller food providers like coffee houses who serve items with dairy products need to use a grease trap or interceptor to help keep FOG from heading down the sink. A business will have to use a grease trap or interceptor if the side sewer line contains a visually apparent build up of fat, oil or grease. Make reference to the most recent Standard Plumbing Code (offered at your public library) for dimensions requirements.
Just how much will a grease trap or interceptor cost and who should I contact to obtain one to get set up?
They range in price, based on dimension and application and will begin as little as a few hundred to thousands. Make sure you speak to a licensed pluming company in your community for costs.
Who decides if I require a grease trap or interceptor?
In the event your food company business deals with food items and washes pots and pans, you probably have to use a grease trap or interceptor. Your decision depends on the kind of use and decided upon from the professional and local staff.
Who is mainly responsible for setting up a grease interceptor?
Each and every business that deals with food items of any type – from your coffee house offering dairy along with milk products to your bistro preparing deep-fried meals – is likely releasing FOG. All food providers are accountable for putting in a unit to help keep FOG from getting into their side sewer line and also the general public sewer range.
What happens if I do not install a grease trap or interceptor?
If your business handles any food items which contains fat, oil and grease, you may ultimately experience a maintenance issue for instance a obstruction within the building sewer line. A obstruction can certainly create sewage back-up circumstance and consequently a possible health issue for your business. If the issue is within the building sewer line, then your business is directly accountable for having to pay for the clean-up fees and damage to property. A business can also be instructed to shut down the business until an examiner certifies all health problems are solved.
When the obstruction is incorporated in the public sewer main and Horace, North Dakota can validate how the methods of the particular business has resulted in the obstruction, then that business might have to pay for any public clean-up expenses, damage to property and public sewer servicing expenses to alleviate the obstruction. The business may also be instructed to put in a grease trap or interceptor or update a current system to intercept food and FOG.

How frequently do i need to thoroughly clean my grease trap/grease interceptor?
A grease trap or interceptor needs to be on a regular basis taken care of in order to meet the 25% Rule – no more than 25%, by volume, from the trap or interceptor ought to accumulate of food and FOG. If in excess of 25% of food and FOG build up within the trap or interceptor, it is more probable not to work correctly and releasing food and FOG to your building sewer line as well as the public sewer system. Exclusions to the 25% Rule are suitable for devices that can keep greater than 25% FOG and will also be exclusively produced in the manufacturers specs.
Every business ought to figure out a particular cleaning routine that suits their organization. Some organizations will have to clean their trap or interceptor more frequently than others. It is very important to keep in mind that using kitchen very best management methods, like scraping your dishes, cooking pots, and pans, will decrease the volume of food and FOG that release right into a trap or interceptor, consequently reducing the regularity for cleaning.
Just how do i keep clean and maintain my grease trap/grease interceptor?
Grease trap maintenance is generally done by maintenance employees or any other workers from the business. Grease interceptor (GI) maintenance, that is generally done by authorized haulers or recyclers, includes taking out the total quantity (liquids and solids) from the GI and effectively getting rid of the FOG in compliance with all federal government, state, and/or local laws. When executed correctly and at the correct regularity, grease interceptor and trap maintenance can help reduce the release of FOG in to the wastewater collection system. The necessary routine maintenance frequency for grease interceptors and traps will depend on significantly on the volume of FOG a center yields together with any best management practices (BMPs) that the business utilizes to cut back the FOG released into its sanitary sewer system. In most cases, a business that utilizes BMPs will recognize financial advantage via a decrease in their needed grease interceptor and trap maintenance regularity.

As most people collect, they end up meeting interesting people that they can relate to. I've certainly met my share of them, and have managed to obtain a few pieces with some assistance from them. As a result, hailing all the4 way from Singapore, we have the Hot Toys Exclusive (whatever that means) Avengers 2: Age of Ultron - Maria Hill figure.
I know they weren't super expensive back in the day (MSRP I mean), but by the time Sideshow got their hands on it, this figure cost $215 USD, which definitely cost more than your run of the mill figure back in the day, all the while being less equipped than they were. I managed to snag one that was opened and resealed in a box for $170 USD shippped.
You get the figure, 3 pairs of hands, walkie talkie, Bluetooth earpiece, and a pistol. Oh, and the usual base/stand.
Now, I learned about Pleather deterioration, but completely forgot about how tropical weather like in Singapore would affect a figure. It's not the worst I've seen, as some of my Widows have similar damage, but they've lived in Canada all their lives.
But it is unfortunate seeing how I didn't exactly score this figure for Garage Sale prices. I'm hoping my coats of leather paint prevents things from getting worse.
What I wasn't expecting was the effect of humidity on paint in contact with plastic. Hot Toys gave the sculpt some lovely blush to accentuate her cheeks. Well, that all turned from pink to yellow, so it looks kinda weird.
Unfortunate, but I treat it as a learning lesson on things to look out for when I finally make my way back to Asia to unleash holy hell on the secondary toy market.
So with the downers out of the way, the rest of the figure is pretty standard. I believe Maria uses a slightly taller version of the Widow body, which is a bit tall and narrow in the torso, but overall is a closer match to Colbie Smulders than Scarlett Johansson.
Maria was made when they still made softer fabric uniforms. I'd describe the feel of what she's wearing as being whatever Jeggings are made from. The upper body generally has full use of its faculties - unfortunately the body doesn't have Butterfly style shoulders, which is unfortunate as Maria could have really used them, especially for her pistol and arm crossed poses. Legs are restricted despite the softer fabric, though isn't as bad as with Winter Soldier Black Widow.
The head sculpt I'm actually quite impressed with. It's not perfect - they never are and if anyone says so, they're probably just not looking hard at the thing... or in some instances, not looking at all. The eyes are off, and the sculpted hair throws things off. But ultimately, it comes down to the jaw being too square, even for Colbie Smulders. On the whole, however, its probably 70 - 80% there, which is a lot more than I can say about any Black Widow up to that point, and Hot Toys accomplished that with one try as well.
Paint, I'm not really in a position to comment on. But, it appears if you can see past the discoloration, you'll see that the usual high quality is there. Build Quality is the usual high level, with nothing falling apart aside from the Pleather.
Overall, despite being a simpler figure I have to say I certainly like this better than I liked AoU Widow, which was just.. weird from a MCU perspective as well as from a Hot Toy perspective. I'll probably have to hunt down a WS Nick Fury to pair with her, but this time I'll be sure to make sure everything is is one piece.
The performance relates the shorter version of the epic Ramayana Saga with dancers playing as Rama, Shinta (Sita), Lakshmana, Rahwana (Ravana), Hanoman (Hanuman), Sugriwa (Sugriva), and other characters. The storyline starts when Prince Rama wanders into the woods with his wife Shinta and brother Lakshmana. There, the giant Rahwana kidnaps Shinta and holds her in his palace. Rama then seeks help and sends Lakhsmana to find his friend Sugriwa, the King of the Monkey Kingdom. Sugriwa sends his commander the white monkey, by the name of Hanoman, to check on Shinta in Rahwana’s Palace.
A dramatic scene is portrayed when Hanoman is captured by Rahwana’s troops and put inside a circle of fire to burn him alive. Instead of burning to crisp, the white monkey warrior remains unharmed and breaks out only to burn Rahwana’s palace instead. Thus, began the battle between the two forces.
At first, Rahwana and his troops manage to overrun Rama. However, Sugriwa and Hanoman then come to Rama’s aid along with the rest of the monkey troops, defeat the evil king once and for all

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by P. S. à D. Erika 253. The photography was by P. M.
The card has an undivided back, which means that it was published prior to 1904.
The Hameau de la Reine
The Hameau de la Reine (The Queen's Hamlet) is a rustic retreat in the park of the Château de Versailles. It was built for Marie-Antoinette in 1783 near the Petit Trianon.
It served as a private meeting place for the Queen and her closest friends, a place of leisure. Designed by the Queen's favourite architect, Richard Mique with the help of the painter Hubert Robert, it contained a meadowland with lakes and streams, a classical Temple of Love on an island with fragrant shrubs and flowers, and an octagonal belvedere, with a neighbouring grotto and cascade.
There are also various buildings in a rustic or vernacular style, inspired by Norman or Flemish design, situated around an irregular pond fed by a stream that turned a mill wheel.
The building scheme included a farmhouse, (the farm was to produce milk and eggs for the queen), a dairy (La Laiterie), a dovecote (on the left in the photograph), a boudoir, a barn that was burned down during the French Revolution, and a mill.
There is also a tower in the form of a lighthouse (Tour de Marlborough). The tower derives its name from a well-known song composed in 1722 relating to the death of the English General the Duke of Marlborough.
Each building is decorated with a garden, an orchard or a flower garden. The largest and most famous of these houses is the 'Queen's House', connected to the Billiard house by a wooden gallery, at the center of the village. A working farm was close to the idyllic, fantasy-like setting of the Queen’s Hamlet.
Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette was born Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna on the 2nd. November 1755. She was the last queen of France before the French Revolution.
Marie was born an Archduchess of Austria, and was the penultimate child and youngest daughter of Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I.
Marie became Dauphine of France in May 1770 at the age of 14 upon her marriage to Louis-Auguste, heir apparent to the French throne. On the 10th. May 1774, her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI, and she became queen.
Marie Antoinette's position at court improved when, after eight years of marriage, she started having children. She became increasingly unpopular among the people, however, with the French libelles accusing her of being profligate, promiscuous, harbouring sympathies for France's perceived enemies - particularly her native Austria - and her children of being illegitimate.
The false accusations of the Affair of the Diamond Necklace damaged her reputation further. During the Revolution, she became known as Madame Déficit because the country's financial crisis was blamed on her lavish spending and her opposition to the social and financial reforms of Turgot and Necker.
Several events were linked to Marie Antoinette during the Revolution after the government had placed the royal family under house arrest in the Tuileries Palace in October 1789.
The June 1791 attempted flight to Varennes and her role in the War of the First Coalition had disastrous effects on French popular opinion. On the 10th. August 1792, the attack on the Tuileries forced the royal family to take refuge at the Assembly, and they were imprisoned in the Temple Prison on the 13th. August.
The Death of Louis XVI
On the 21st. September 1792, the French monarchy was abolished. Louis XVI was executed by guillotine on the 21st. January 1793.
The Death of Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette's trial began on the 14th. October 1793, and two days later she was convicted by the Revolutionary Tribunal of high treason and executed, also by guillotine, on the Place de la Révolution on the 16th. October 1793.

The National Athletics Archive is held at the Cadbury Research Library, University of Birmingham, and comprises an extensive volume of archival materials. These papers primarily relate to the history and development of athletics in the United Kingdom throughout the 1800s and 1900s. In addition to organisational collections, such as the papers of the Amateur Athletics Association, the National Athletics Archive includes various discrete collections of individual athletes. These include papers relating to Sydney Wooderson MBE, 1914-2006. Wooderson was an English athlete who was dubbed ‘The Mighty Atom’. His athletics career peaked in the 1930s and 1940s and he set the world mile record of 04:06:40 at London’s Motspur Park on 28 August 1937. This record stood for nearly five years.
The collection also includes ephemeral and grey literature relating to various athletics clubs, meetings and events. Papers relating to major athletics championships include material generated during the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games held in Cardiff. These Games introduced the ‘Queen’s Baton Relay’ which has been conducted as a prelude to every British Empire and Commonwealth Games since.

I’ll relate to y’all, my beautiful readers, a simple tale of an ordinary average Central Texas Trumpet Case Bear. It was 95 degrees F (35 C) out of doors. Little Texas Aggie Trumpet Case Bear was about to go into heat exhaustion (symptom before heat stroke).
Alamo Basement Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring whispered to me, “We need to get frozen Margaritas into the little bear immediately before he goes into a coma and dies. Have you looked at the price of black market bears lately?” I pulled out the large container for the Ninja and fired it up.
After about quatro or cinco Margaritas necesitas, Little Texas Aggie Osa (bear) was starting to feel much, much better. At this point, there was a spilt Margarita. It’s not important who spilt the Margarita, but it did totally soak Little Texas Aggie Bear.
I for one, am not about to allow a trumpet case bear who smells of tequila and is all sticky, near my 1947 Rudy Mück jazz trumpet. I had two options — Take him out to the woods and shoot him or — give him a bath in the kitchen sink.
Bears know how to swim. In fact, they love water. In some states, they will come into your backyard and take the waters in your swimming pool or jacuzzi. There are videos on YouTube.
I sanitized the sink and prepared a nice, warm bubble bath for Little Texas Aggie Bear. He hesitantly lowered himself into the sink. He let out a “bear sigh” of pleasure. When I took out the camera, Little Texas Aggie Bear started to cry. “What’s wrong?” asked Alamo Basement Aggie Ring.
“It’s the bubble bath.” sobbed the little bear. “If anyone in the Trumpet Case Bear Union sees those photos, I’ll loose my certification and be forced to become the worst sort of bear ever — a tuba/Sousaphone case bear.”
I assured the little bear that no one would ever see any of these photos and think that he’s some sort of “Barbie Dream House” bear. This seemed to put him at ease and please him.
After I rinsed him a couple of times, Aggie Ring and I realized we had a very, very wet bear to deal with. “If you don’t get him dry soon. He’ll start to smell like wet dog!” said Aggie Ring.
My first thought was, “Well… the ceiling fan will get him dry! I’ll just hang him up by the neck to it.” Sadly, when I turned on the fan, Aggie Bear went flying across the room and onto the hard floor like a child who wasn’t strapped in properly in a Disney World wild ride.

My titles don't relate to my pictures, my tags usually relate to what happened that day/what I write, I usually make a list, achieve one thing and then cant find the energy to do anything else. I am oficially on burnout. In the middle of the busiest weekend of my a-levels.
I have to decide between setting myself back and sleeping and then working more efficiently or not sleeping and not being able to work properly. But now I don't have the time to make the choice and I have landed were I am right now.
I still make pictures every day though, albiet within much smaller time frames recently but they still get made nonetheless. I know I will look back at this when the year is over and smile. It really isn't smile worthy at the minute but I intend this project to be a real visual journal, not just a collection of nice concepts and pictures. There will be those too though lol I hope :)
Again I forgot about my driving lesson this morning, slept in, woke up and got ready in a rush in hardly any time at all. I was worried that I would fail epically again after last week's horrendous effort. Got my head all worked up but just eventually had to slow down, ask for some help and go on. And what do you know I got only 5 minors. He said if I keep going like that I would pass with no problem :) Which was a nice confidence boost :)
The rest of the day consisted of finally filling out my student finance forms, got that done, just some financial details to sort with the parents and it can be sent off. I then took this picture. Got that done. Then somehow last.fm got on and nothing happened after that :/ No ICT coursework and no art final peice.
Coffee didnt help and I then deduced that my body is telling me to just go to sleep.
Sorry for writing so much, helps me remember where Im at when I can't remember lol
The above picture was a little experiment with trying to 'see' how something would look blurred, more specifically with a rotation of the camera as apposed to just moving it up/down/left/right. I was thinking along the lines of how last.fm halted all work so the guitar came into play :)
BIG trend.

"THIS SHRIMP WILL NOT BE TAKEN BY THE CURRENT"
Jose Rolando has lived almost all his life in the beach of Barrio Juvenil, in Manzanillo.
He's a builder by profession, but the rest of the time he's a fisherman/catches shrimp. He tells us that his catch is for personal consumption and that in recent years there are few shrimp due to marine habitat degradation, overfishing, and indiscriminate mangrove logging, and that all of this has contributed to the loss of aquatic wildlife.
Jose says there is flooding during extreme weather events, threatening homes in the area. Erosion is another problem. While he has considered leaving the area as a result, he says he has nowhere to go.
Yamilé Tamayo Labrada, specialist in territorial planning and urban planning, says that with information gleaned from several studies, the authorities will work on environmental education and begin relocating vulnerable villagers.
The objectives of the Green Climate Fund-financed UNDP-supported 'Mi Costa' project in the area are focused, above all, on environmental education of the villagers, the restoration of mangrove forests, as well as the training and delivery of inputs necessary for the implementation of environmental conservation activities.

Title: Roll call votes relating to the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson on Articles II, III, and XI., 05/26/1868
Production Date: May 26, 1868
Creator(s): U.S. Senate. (03/04/1789 - )
Roll call votes relating to the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson on Articles II, III, and XI., 05/26/1868 ; Senate Papers Pertaining to the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson, ca. 1867 - ca. 1869; Records of the U.S. Senate, 1789 - 2005; Record Group 46; National Archives.
The first Senate vote in the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson was taken on May 16, 1868. Article XI was called the “omnibus article” because it combined all of the charges against the President. As a result of 19 voting “Not Guilty” and 35 voting “Guilty” the Senate fell 1 vote short of the two-thirds majority required for removal. After a 10-day recess, the Senate reconvened and voted on Articles II and III. In each case, the result was identical: Johnson was not guilty by a single vote. The Senate then voted to end the trial.

The neighborhood of El Juvenil, of the Celia Sanchez Manduley community in Manzanillo, is a settlement located on the first coastline of the Gulf of Guacanayabo.
The site is vulnerable to the impacts of sea level rise and flooding from heavy rains. The main activity of the villagers is fishing.
At the entrance of one of the roads that crosses the deteriorated dunes to reach the sea, lives one of the fishermen and his wife, Omar Hidalgo and Lidia Fonseca, married for over 50 years.
Omar can no longer fish due to health difficulties. His boat, like him, hasn't been spared from tidal and weather wear.
Now, he and Lidia are dedicated to growing vegetables on the small bit of land that he owns. Their dilapidated house is located right at the sea front.
This type of unstable construction is common in El Juvenil.
The settlement is planned for relocation due to the precariousness presented by the population.
The villagers, for the most part, are opposed to moving and are calling for other solutions. It's not easy to leave a life behind to start from scratch; they would feel like a fish out of water.
Among them are Omar and Lidia, who moved to El Juvenil from the nearby village more than 15 years ago so that their son, who was in a wheelchair, could be closer to the sea.
Now the memory of what their child enjoyed the most is what feeds their soul and they don't want to let it go.

House Bill 980, relating to “Highway Safety” (aka Distracted Driving Bill) – This measure is effective July 1, 2013. While all counties have some form of a distracted driving ordinance in place, this measure establishes a state law that creates consistent requirements across all counties for the use of mobile electronic devices while driving and will simplify enforcement. Crash data from the DOT shows that during 2007, 32 percent (2,871 of the 8,770 collisions) were attributed to inattention to driving.
Senate Bill 4, relating to “Motor Vehicles” (aka Universal Seatbelt Bill) – This measure requires all front seat and back seat occupants to buckle up, effective immediately. Adults and children must use their seat belts and child restraints at all times. Unrestrained back seat passengers were more than three times as likely to have injuries that were fatal or required hospitalization compared to restrained back seat passengers, based on DOH’s analysis of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) records. Additionally, among back seat passengers who were treated for injuries by EMS, average medical charges were nearly tripled among those who did not use seat belts ($11,043), compared to restrained passengers ($3,817).
The bill signings were done in conjunction with the DOT’s launch of the annual “Click It or Ticket” enforcement campaign, held in partnership between the state and counties with federal funding. During the national Click It or Ticket mobilization from May 20 to June 2 and throughout the year, police statewide will be continuing strict enforcement of the state seat belt and child passenger restraint laws.
Several stories circulate relating to this grave, all alas, unsubstantiated. The most popular version appears to stem from a small plaque which one adorned the headstone and bore the following legend...
"it is alleged that this is the grave of a gypsy boy who, while tending sheep, fell asleep in a dike. In remorse he hanged himself because he feared to return to his tribe"
Unwritten tradition maintains that his fear was founded on his belief that, whilst asleep, one of his sheep had strayed. All however were found to be safe when counted home.
Recent researches, would appear to indicate that this story owes its origins to a claim that the original incident was chronicled in the 'Bury and Norwich Post', even giving an approximate date...1841. Substantial research has, to date, failed to identify this account, and part of the original claim verges on pure fantasy.
Prior to 1974 the grave was surrounded by ratten cane hoops similar to those used to fabricate the backs of certain chairs. To these, it is alleged, passing gypsies, on their way to Newmarket races, would tie ribbons corresponding to the colours of the predicted winner of the next big race.
Also about this time, stories began circulating about the mysterious maintenance of the site. Fresh flowers were regularly seen, new vases appeared and the grass was kept close-cropped. Gypsies remorseful of the lad's death, pixies, fairies and sympathetic locals were all attributed with it's upkeep. The reality however, was in fact far more mundane. A lady from Northolt in Middlesex, concerned at the graves apparent neglect, made fortnightly trips to the site.She errected a wooden cross on the grave which bore the words...
To Joseph
An unknown Gypsy Boy
R. I. P.
She subsequently confided that she selected the Mythical name Joseph because of its biblical connections, being that of Mary's husband.
Recently, that cross was replaced by the one pictured above which reads simply:
"Gypsy Boy"
Today it is known that gypsies pay scant regard to the grave, indeed their knowledge would also appear to have been gained from published sources.
Location
The grave, now surrounded by a simple chain link fence, still bears the simple wooden cross which carries the short epitaph. It lies immediately behind the signpost at the crossroads where the Chippenham to Moulton road cosses the one linking Kentford and Newmarket

This is a picture that relates to the grunge scene or the early 90's. This is when rock'n'roll was brought back its original glory through Nirvana having the clear acoustic and electric guitar settings that glam and new wave ruined to fit mainstream standards. The fashion was an overall rejection of any existing scene aesthetic. It became timeless, priceless and even legendary as Kurt Cobain immortalized flannel's popularity amongst the youth.
