Update October 5 2015: Incase you spent the last 4 years wishing you had bought this car – well, you get another chance. It's back on eBay. Looks to have been improved a bit, but still has a ways to go.
Paint is looking pretty good these days. Grill is still from an early 750B or Spider. Good luck adding a front bumper if that's something you would care about.
Update September 5 2011: Wow, $25,800 is pretty serious for this car. Ummm, maybe I should stop driving mine every day? Nah.
Giulietta Sprint 10105 1493*21083. This car is on eBay right now out of Temecula in southern California. Car wears its original California black plate but none of the originality usually associate with a black plate car. A lot of difficult to source trim is missing, engine is incorrect, interior is mostly wrong components with incorrect finish among other things. It runs and drives (yay) but will require a lot to be original. Would make a great beginning for a CSRG or other vintage racing group car. Looks nice though.
Don't get me wrong, it is a nice looking example. Sprints are good cars, this example would bring a smile to your face every time you drove it. I don't mind the lack of badges, bumpers or hubcaps, but the trim that runs along the top of the rockers is necessary to the shape.
Market 312: Nicely modified 10105 Sprint at FJ -Sold!
Giulietta Sprint 10105 1493*21131. This car was recently sold through Fantasy Junction. Asking price was about $56,000. I believe this is a car that was sold through Cars Dawydiak a few years ago, but I've seen a lot of these cars, so I may be mistaken. Even though it has been sold, I thought I would do a quick write up since it's a nice but non-original normale that has been hot-rodded and that sold for more than a few recently sold, nearly perfect restored 101 Normale's I've seen. An interesting data point for those that care.
Update 4/20/13: Hard to argue with the same result twice.
Update 3/31/13: This car has turned up on eBay again. Although it has been 14 months since it was listed, the same pictures are being used. I don't think the market for a Spider like this has moved up much, so I suspect a similar result to the last time. I like the last line of the ebay description: "Look close, see the reserve? See the buy it now? I didn't think so, there is NOT a buy it now, and the reserve is private. That's how I thought it worked. I am an honest guy, selling an honest car, running this AUCTION honestly. I don't want to play any games. Thank you." I'm not sure how effective coming across as prickly is as a first impression, but then the notion of an 'online persona' is generally accepted.
Update 1/9/12: $15,101 is the sale price after 5 bids. That's pretty solid money.
Giulietta Spider 10104*09537. This Spider is on eBay out of New York with a starting bid of $8,000. Condition is pretty reasonable as the start of a light 'run it as is' type project. Seller says it doesn't run currently and has had some floor repairs. It comes with a hardtop that is one of the made in California FiberFab (??) type. I like the license plate!
It really doesn't look bad. It could be the basis of a decent driver without much fuss. The engines can always be made to run, but will probably require a minor overhaul. I like them without the grill 'eyebrows'..
1/4/13: I am pretty sure that this car, Lot #132, is the same as the car below and is being auctioned by Gooding & Company on Saturday, January 19th. Estimate is an aggressive $200,000 – $225,000. The transformation is remarkable. Would love to see it in person.
Update 7/22/12: Available now from Motor Classic and Competition Corp. Interesting that this car has failed to find a home with so much demand for SS's right now.
Update 4/2/12: Guess who's available again? This SS. It's now on the East Coast now, listed on Hemmings, and with a new fun asking price of $129,500. Does this herald the arrival of market malaise? Are we approaching a correction? How many SS's at greater than $100K can the market support? Survivor-ship is high for a limited production car -probably approaching 15% documented on this site alone. Costs more than this?
Update 9/13/11: Again. I wonder how much they've spent on eBay auctions?? My advise to the seller – a change of venue after a few months pass. Maybe Amelia Island. Ebay is alright for 3 year old ipods and disassembled Sprints but a seriously nice SS? Time to move up into the major leagues. But what do I know.
Update 9/1/11: "We have made deals on this car twice on eBay now, only to have the buyer renege on his contract due to financial issues without seeing the car in person. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PURCHASE THE CAR before bidding, and especially before having us mail you sales documents and pull all of our advertising. If you are financing or running the car through a leasing company, make sure you are pre-approved. Each time this happens we lose other interested parties who ARE able to purchase the car. Thank you for your consideration." That explains it. Rich guys drunk eBaying.
Update 8/26/11: As predicted, this car is on eBay again -this time with new improved pictures and lengthy description attached below. This is a great car, it's just not going to go for Gooding money on eBay.
I know that bridge -about 15 minutes before you get to Big Sur when headed south on 1.


Whether you find yourself or a relative dealing with asthma, it is definitely a trying and scary experience. Know all that you can about your asthma so that you know what to expect in all situations. These tips should be helpful to you in figuring out what to expect from your asthma and when.
Can you identify the exact type of asthma you're dealing with? If you identify your specific causes, you can be prepared to treat the symptoms when they appear during your daily routines. If people who have asthma suffer attacks triggered by exercise, they should bring an inhaler with them when they work out. You can avoid a crisis by knowing your symptoms' patterns.
Certain prescription medications have the potential to cause asthma symptoms. Among these medications are aspirin and other NSAIDs. There are some beta blockers that are given to those trying to control their heart disease or who have high blood pressure that may be harmful to an asthmatic, as well. Make sure your physician is aware of all of your chronic conditions and any medications you are on so they can treat your asthma appropriately.
If you are having an attack that is not severe, push as much air out of the lungs as possible. Exhale quickly and hard. Try hard to push the air out from your lungs! Breathe in by taking three quick breaths, followed by one very deep breath. Doing this will fill your lungs completely, and allow you to expel the air forcefully again. This gives your breathing a rhythm and makes you focus on your breathing. It also expels air from your lungs so more can enter. Do not be alarmed if you cough or generate excess mucous; this is perfectly normal. Your only concern is to return your breathing to normal.
Avoid using a fan in any room that has excessive dust. The wind will move dust around and get into your airways causing an attack. Open a window instead to get the air flowing.
If you have asthma, it might be helpful for you to buy a dehumidifier. By decreasing the humidity you have in your home, it will decrease the dust mites, which will then decrease your asthma from flaring up. Dehumidifiers cause the air in your home to become dry, which means less humidity.
Stay away from cigarette smoke, even if it's secondhand. When you inhale tobacco smoke, the lung's function can be decreased, and you will increase the chance you have an asthma attack. Smaller areas without proper ventilation make you even more susceptible to an attack.
Make sure you get a flu shot once a year if you suffer from asthma. Getting vaccinated yearly can help keep many of these illnesses at bay.
If you are asthmatic, it may be a good idea to use a pillow that is not filled with feathers. Pillow feathers force the lungs to work harder and can exacerbate asthma problems. Your other bedding, such as sheets, blankets and comforters, should be hypoallergenic, too.
When you are traveling, make sure you have a rescue inhaler with you. Traveling can make you more likely to suffer from attacks due to the extra strain and stress on your body. Influencing the environment around you is nearly impossible while on the road, which is another opportunity for deteriorating symptoms or attack triggers.
Many of the most common asthma triggers are found in the home. These causes can include dust, spores and mold. To ensure health and reduce the potential for asthma attacks, have a yearly inspection for the presence and removal of these hazards. On top of that, doing housecleaning regularly can prevent build up of these particles.
If the air in your home is humid, it provides an ideal incubator for mold or mildew. Mold and mildew can easily cause severe asthma attacks. It is best if you keep the air in your home as dry as possible. A dehumidifier can be used in the winter, and in the summer, many air conditioner models also help strip moisture from the air.
Avoid cold-induced asthma attacks by protecting your mouth and nose with a scarf. This will warm the air before it gets in your lungs. Breathing in cold air tends to start asthma attacks, especially with younger children that have severe or moderate asthma.
Know the right way to use any asthma medication you are taking, in particular your rescue medication. Typical asthma treatment includes regular medicine supplemented by a rescue inhaler. Because you will have asthma for the rest of your life, it is important that you take your maintenance medication properly, and that you use your emergency medication correctly.
Asthma typically develops over a long time, and sometimes the symptoms aren't very obvious. People can even die from their very first asthma attack as they're not prepared for it! Always consult with a doctor to see if a persistent cough or difficulty breathing is a sign that you require treatment for asthma. There may even be things you can do to prevent it from getting worse.
You may want to consider having numerous doctors treat your asthma. While your asthma treatment should start with your primary care doctor, visiting one or two asthma specialists can make a real difference in how well you understand and manage your condition. Pulmonologists, allergists, asthma centers and also nutritionists can assist you in exploring every avenue of treatment for your asthma.
If you have asthma, don't smoke. Most people know how dangerous smoking is, but for someone afflicted with asthma, the dangers are ten times more serious. Smoke irritates the lungs of an asthma sufferer, so avoid the presence of people who smoke if you have asthma.
As the article mentioned previously, it is important to know as much about asthma as possible. This article contains just a sampling of hints that are helpful for managing asthma, or to help a friend or family member with the disease. With the sound advice above, you can work with your doctor to create a plan that is right for you.


My trip to Jewelry Television was an amazing experience! Imagine being in a candy store except they were just eye candy:) If you are interested in learning how to make jewelry but don't know where to start, JTV's Jewel School is the best online tutorials to go to. I picked up a few strands to mix with our paper beads, this one is with the red jasper.
The coiled magazine beads make it like wearing A Piece Of Art!
this piece is so gorgeous and perfect !!! i love so much these beautiful colours…great mix !! a very artistic piece with the famous saucer beads !


You'll only get these at the brewery. Come on down and have a taste while you can. Growler and crowler fills are limited. GET DIRECTIONS HERE.
All of the hops - Galena, Vojvodina, Southern Brewer and Southern Cross - used in this beer were grown at the University of Maryland's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources research facility in Western Maryland. This beer is part of our ongoing commitment to UMD's hops research. Because there's no better way to truly evaluate a beer than brewing with it, we craft Field Notes with hops from each year's harvest.
Made with local honey and pollen, Bee Beer is a perfected version of a concept pitched through our Brewhouse Rarities program. A portion of the proceeds from the beer will be donated to WildAid, a global organization that fights to end illegal wildlife trade.
Our 2015 vintage is a robust blend of caramel malt and dark fruit sweetness. Like the fine wine it is, this beer only gets better with age.
We love the juice brah craze, but what comes next? Help us decide by visiting our Tasting Room and asking for the newest R&D beer and leaving feedback that just might help us create the next hazebro. Tart and sweet red raspberries, vanilla adds a 'jammyness' to the raspberries, the tartness keeps the beer bright, so you get a full spectrum of raspberry flavor.
A hazy pale ale brewed as a tribute to our fallen friend, Gerald "G" Bigelow. Proceeds from the sale of this beer will benefit the Bigelow Family.


Virtual teams are handicapped by geographical distances when most people are accustomed to the team being at the same location or in the same room for team meetings. With the modern technology available, it is possible to "bring together" a team in different locations. However, merely having a video conference does not guarantee a high performing team.
Developing the specific tools to improve the team's effectiveness would require a systemic diagnosis of the team's current organization and stakeholder needs and then a design of critical processes and systems to deliver what the stakeholders need.


I went down to Manly this morning to try out my new steamer. Clutching my old single fin Bob Brown and a bag containing a towel and a zip lock bag of gluten free bread, I parked my stuff near the North Steyne surf club.
The waves were gentle, to say the least, but it was a magical morning. The water was warm, the sunlight sparkled on the water and there was an awesome looking storm brewing out to sea. The occasional soft boom from the distant thunder sounded more like heavy surf pounding onto rocks so I couldn't but help but look to the shore for the big waves.
To be frank, I think I just needed the think time this morning. I just hung out in the water and reveled in the general wonderfulness of it all.
And the steamer? It's an Enforcer from West Surfing Products. It's a comfortable fit, with a fairly usable zipper arrangement. Also the triple glued and blind stitched sealed seams felt fine and to my relief, I did not experience chafing in any odd places. The ankles and wrists also felt snug but not tight.
The pre bent and contoured arms, combined with 2mm of Neoprene on the arms and legs meant that paddling felt pretty natural. And with 3mm on the body the material did not feel thin. Granted the water is pretty warm the moment but this steamer feels like it could keep out a reasonable winter chill.
The k-foam knee pads also seemed serviceable and there is a nifty key pocket next to the zip that would be fine for a house key. The only downside was that I struggled a little with the secondary neck fastener, as I thought it was a bit lower down than it actually was. I also did notice one or two hanging threads that I'll keep an eye on.
Colours are limited to graphite, black and blue.
Overall it's a pretty good piece of kit, especially with the recommended retail price being $149. As I haggled and got it for $130, it was even more of a bargain.
The bread by the way was for a "Bombora". The surf club does these early morning sausage, egg, bacon and onion sandwich things that really hit the spot.
So happiness was a bit of a paddle in the sunshine, a nice new steamer, and a hunger busting visit to an early morning sausage sizzle. A cup of coffee and it would have been bliss.


Disorders of the gastrointestinal tract can cause considerable problems, but cannot always be precisely identified. Diarrhoea, gas, heartburn and constipation are frequent and common symptoms.
Yet did you know that a slight cough, hoarseness, fatigue, susceptibility to infection, headache or even menstruation complaints can also be caused by problems in the gastrointestinal tract?
If our gastrointestinal tract is not intact, we can suffer not only health consequences but often also limitations in our private and professional lives. This psychic pressure is often underestimated.
In order to be able to administer targeted therapy, a precise and definitive clarification and diagnosis are essential. At the Centre for Integrative Medicine, experts from the realms of medicine and nutritional therapy work hand in hand: The combination of medical and nutritional therapy offers the optimal prerequisites for lasting therapeutic success.
Many people suffering from gastrointestinal problems have gone through several examinations and treatment attempts, all without lasting success.
The integrative gastrointestinal check enables a comprehensive and structured examination to identify the causes behind persisting disorders of the digestive tract.
targeted laboratory tests, such as blood tests, stool and urine tests, breath tests, allergy tests, identification of food sensitivities, etc.
Our nutritional therapy treatment includes a wide spectrum of therapeutic options, such as vital substance medicine, herbal therapy, acupuncture, etc., in order to restore gastrointestinal function, replenish intestinal flora and regulate metabolism.


have a an issue I need some help on please, have attached a screen shot that may help explain.
Using LW10 / TFD and VPR.
In my VPR view I can clearly see light/colour emitting from the base of my flame but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to appear in my final render.
Is there a setting I am missing ?
My screen shot contains some render settings as well.
yeah, please see attached (ignore the red it was related to another post).
Have you tried turning on volumetric radiosity?
Just hit render, and yep think that nailed it.
Beside some limitations with DP Lights VPR rocks....great tool / asset.
As my comfort grows with Lightwave so does my love of it.

After 67 years, La Victoria to close Tuesday — evicted by the family that owns it
by Julian Mark October 8, 2018 September 29, 2020

Anyone hoping to get their hands on one last pan dulce from 24th Street's venerable La Victoria must stop by on Tuesday, the bakery's final day in business after 67 years.
The sheriff will, indeed, be stopping by the panaderia at 6 a.m. on Wednesday to ensure the business and its five other subtenants have vacated, per an eviction notice served in July.
"It's sad," said Danny Gabriner, one of La Victoria's current operators. "And we're just trying to make the best of it."
Gabriner, who also owns a wholesale bakery called Sour Flour, said he and business partner Laura Hernandez have found a commissary kitchen in Dogpatch and will continue to produce bread for La Victoria's wholesale customers.
The panaderia's decline is as complex as it is sadly common: The building went up for sale in March for $3.4 million, amid litigation and infighting between the members of the Maldonado family, whose patriarch, Gabriel Maldonado, started the panaderia on 24th Street in 1951 and grew it into a neighborhood institution.
Jaime Maldonado, who took over the business from his father and is a master tenant of the space, served all of his subtenants — including Gabriner and Hernandez, whom Maldonado had contracted to operate La Victoria in January — with the eviction notice. The eviction, Maldonado told us in July, was one requirement of settling a lawsuit between him and his stepmother, Susan Maldonado, who controls the family trust.
"I am cooperating with Maldonado Trust in any way, shape or form to make sure what is agreed upon is executed in a fair and legal manner, regardless of my personal feelings," Jaime Maldonado said in July.
The family trust opted not to sell the building — which has three units of housing and two other commercial tenants — to the Mission Economic Development Agency, which submitted a bid for an undisclosed amount. Instead, the trust selected another buyer, whose identity has not been revealed.
After Maldonado served Gabriner and Hernandez with the eviction notice in July, the business partners sought legal help from the city. They explored several avenues, including "inserting themselves" into the lawsuit between Jaime Maldonado and his stepmother, but that would have been too complicated, Gabriner said. The Maldonado family trust, Gabriner said, was unwilling to talk to him and Hernandez about alternatives to an eviction.
"At the end of the day our rights didn't amount to anything and that didn't allow us to stay for the long term," Gabriner said.
Gabriner and Hernandez tried to buy the business from Jaime Maldonado, but could not meet his asking price. But Gabriner said he and Hernandez are in contact with the new property owner to keep La Victoria in the space. It's unclear if that will be possible, and they would need to work with Maldonado, as he owns the rights to La Victoria's name.
"Our hope is to be able to work with the new owners to establish a presence of La Victoria," Gabriner said. "Any support from the community to keep La Victoria's history going would be very much appreciated."

Erick Arguello says:
Please email info@cinderellabakery.com and tell them we want La Victoria to stay or come back. La Victoria is integral part of the Mission History and an anchor to the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District. Its part of the Latino's history in this neighborhood and San Francisco. By uprooting this legacy business it will continue the further erosion of the Latino community and its business's.

Time: Click on the Time button on the button bar of the Numerics Editor. This brings up the Time panel for the current computations. The twp most commonly used controls are Start plotting and Stop plotting.
Start Plotting: To specify the time units after which the computed points to be displayed. The solution are, of course, computed from the initial time but not displayed until Start Plotting time. This feature is useful for discarding early parts, transients, of a solution so that the ultimate fate of the solution can be discerned more readily.
Stop Plotting To specify the time units until which the solutions are to be computed. The solution are, of course computed from the initial time but displayed between Start Plotting and Stop Plotting times.
Now, simply type the desired values in the appropriate textfield.
Time is relative. That is, each solution is computed starting from its own initial time for the set units of time.
MAPs can be iterated only in forward time; therefore, Start and Stop should be integers with 0 ≤ Start Plotting ≤ Stop Plotting.
ODEs can be solved both forward and backward in time. If 0 ≤ Start Plotting ≤ Stop Plotting, solutions are computed in forward time. If Stop Plotting ≤ Start Plotting ≤ 0, solutions are computed in backward time. If Stop Plotting ≤ 0 ≤ Start Plotting then the solutions are computed first forward for Start Plotting time units and then backward for Stop Plotting time units.

My experience with ALEKS has been very positive. This is our second year of using ALEKS with almost 100 high school students. Ninety percent of our students are putting in their required time, and many are doing far more than required.
Some students were not retaining concepts they had learned in previous years. We don't have extra class time to do extensive review without sacrificing time to teach new material.
Students took the first assessment while being supervised in class and in the computer lab.
We have no class time in PreCalculus, but I do bring up the class reports to show them how the class is progressing.
I am able to spend less time on review concepts.
Every week, they should total at least 75 minutes. We recommend at least 30 minutes in one sitting.
Parents are informed about ALEKS through back-to-school nights, newsletters, open houses, teacher websites, and the syllabus.
ALEKS is one-third of the total homework in PreCalculus.
For PreCalculus, ALEKS counts for five percent of their overall grade.
Yes, progress is measured by items attempted and achieved as displayed on their weekly log reports. I also consider the percentage increase in their pies.
Students light up when we are discussing a problem in class and they say, "I remember this from ALEKS!" Students with weak skills are able to catch up to the class by putting more time into ALEKS. They are very motivated to finish their pies. It is almost like a contest to see who can finish it by the end of March.
Provide incentives and expectations when you begin ALEKS, and allow students to make up time if they miss a week due to a busy schedule.

Focus Quote: "Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in all circumstances. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not put out the Spirit's fire. Don't treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything; hold fast to that which is good."
This Advent as we ponder in our hearts how Christ is to be born and lived within us and among us, discerning and testing our faithfulness as Jesus was faithful, let us tend to the fire of the Spirit so that it consumes us this season so full of consumption. May webe open to the new visions of what we can still become, remembering to hold fast to all that is good, all that we once loved and dreamed. May we do, as St. Paul says, all in joy and prayer and thanksgiving. I like the way he does not leave it at joy, for with so much manufactured joy abounding it can be difficult to be grasped by the true joy of life from God; in fact this season may be particularly unjoyful for many of us for so many reasons. So, as Paul points out, if we are not joyful, let us pray, for prayer is a state of mind for all seasons and circumstances. And if we find we cannot pray during these days, let us be thankful instead, and know that an attitude of gratitude is enough of a gift, and that as the old church campfire song goes, "it only takes a spark to get a fire going" so pass along your spark.
In this lectionary reading for this Advent week, the gospel of John tells us of that wild crazy man John the Baptizer who stayed out in the abandoned places, the margins of society, doing the Temple's work out among the people in the river Jordan, not looking or acting like respectable religious folks but helping remind the wounded and oppressed that they could be healed and set free by God, and yet not being full of himself either, but pointing the way beyond himself, to the Word made flesh. The Word that wasn't made as a message, by the way, as a creed or as an argument or theological treatise, and not made as Spirit or some metaphysical truth, and lord knows not as a sermon. But the Word made flesh. Wonderful, imperfect, beautiful, everchanging, full of life and energy, yet fragile and decaying and capable of being hurt and oppressed, killed but not destroyed, and made very human. In the flesh, a real presence of God to others, to us.
So too should we be and should our Church. Finding ways to be embodied in our flesh, finding there too the incarnation of God, and in the flesh of our communities and in the earthy lives of those we struggle with. In the very desert wildernesses of our lives and times, of our culture and communities, we must be like John and make a way for such a Lord, one that overturns all our understandings, making a way out of no way. This week, today, this hour, make way for those who are coming into your life, for in them will you meet the Lord.
Reflections and Prayers for the Third Week taken from the Advent Devotional by Jennifer Sandberg for Universalist National Memorial Church, 2008.
When Jesus went up to the mountain to pray, maybe he went so high to be closer to God. Or, maybe, he just wanted to be alone. We sometimes need to reach toward the heavens to exercise our bodies so our minds follow along. It feels so good to stretch our arms as high as they will go, so that we can feel as if we touch God. Sometimes we feel the need to knock on God's door, just to make sure that our prayers are being heard. Our bodies need to feel that they are stretched out, so that our minds can be clear, and we can hear what God is saying to us.
Prayer: O Saving God, how we strain to be as close to you as possible. We feel your love and know that you are near as we go about our daily lives. Our hearts are full of your divine blessings. Keep us in your loving hands and guide us as we do Your work. Amen.
When the angels gathered above the shepherds were they noisy or silent? Did they laugh and giggle or were their mouths hushed? Do you think the shepherds heard rustling above them Looked up and saw row upon row of angels? Then one stepped forward and said to the cowering shepherds, their hearts beating rapidly, their breath coming fast, "Do not be afraid." What would that have been like? Would you have fallen on your knees? Clasped your hands together in awe? Jaws unfastened in wonder?
How would, could, your describe it later? Would any words suffice?


I know I haven't been on or active as much as I'd like to be lately, but this year has been so hectic. It's by no means an excuse, but as the year is coming to an end, I've realized each year comes with its own ups and downs. While things haven't been easy at moments, I am learning that being thankful and having a heart of gratitude is most important when it comes to living the life that we're meant to.
In line with these thoughts, I have decided to host one giveaway a week until the end of the year in thanks to all those who have made my dream come true with this blog and my love of reading and sharing it with others. The giveaway information is what's stated when you click the link below. Contest ends Wednesday, December 6 at 11:59PM EST.
Click this link to get started on the giveaway!
If you've already done some of the things to enter this giveaway (e.g. following my blog), then just verify it and it'll basically be a free entry for you. Unfortunately, I'm only able to give this to Canadian residents for now (shipping costs are a nightmare for a student!) but if there's enough love and feedback, I am willing to making one of the future giveaways open internationally. So stay tuned for that, and don't think that you're automatically ineligible!
This week's giveaway is the 5th book in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas, Empire of Storms in hardcover.
I am honestly grateful for all those I've met along the way who love books as much as I do (or even more!) and the opportunities to converse with amazing authors who create such worlds for us to experience.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you! This little dreamer has already amassed more than she could've ever dreamed of already.
I always look forward to your comments and opinions.
What is your favourite Sarah J. Maas book and why? And if you don't have one, then what's your favourite/current fantasy book?


Construction of the Wheelabrator Kemsley (K3) facility commenced in August 2016. The facility is expected to be fully operational in 2019.
Over the course of the Wheelabrator Kemsley (K3) construction phase to date, our contractors have spent over £33 million in the local area on material suppliers and sub-contractors. This includes investment in local labour and other services from the Kent area.

Testing on Dev and Beta Versions Follow
Firefox and Chrome's dev and beta releases are automatically updated when new releases are made by each project. However, as is the nature of betas, sometimes the beta breaks compatibility with Selenium, making it impossible for Sauce Labs to use. Because Firefox, Chrome, and Selenium are all Open Source projects, not under the control of Sauce Labs, we're unable to set project direction and ensure this functionality never breaks.
End users rarely install beta or dev. Those who do tend to understand that functionality may be missing or broken in these versions. In addition, the beta and dev releases are made available mostly to assist with testing the Selenium functionality of said releases.
Sauce Labs makes very minimal changes to the browsers we offer. We also take care to offer exactly what we say we do. Making custom patches to Firefox, Chrome, or Selenium would make them no longer reflect reality. If Sauce Labs can't spin up beta or dev with Selenium, it's likely that this functionality doesn't work locally on all platforms. We also don't want to offer a beta or dev release that isn't the same as the project's current beta or dev release, because that would just lead to confusion.
We recommend customers testing commercial web applications for end user consumption stick to released versions of browsers. These have passed testing by their authors, the Selenium project and Sauce Labs, and are known to have, at the very least, passed the Selenium and Sauce Labs test suites.
Firefox Release Process
Sauce Labs pulls from these three release channels.
The official "Release" version, a stable and commonly used version that most consumers will use. Mozilla has more information here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/
The Beta version:
From Mozilla's site: "Beta is an unstable testing and development platform. By default, Beta sends data to Mozilla — and sometimes our partners — to help us handle problems and try ideas."
The Dev version:
From Mozilla's site: "Developer Edition is an unstable testing and development platform. By default, Developer Edition sends data to Mozilla — and sometimes our partners — to help us handle problems and try ideas."
Firefox Release
Firefox Beta
Firefox Dev Edition
Chrome Release Process
The Chrome Project follows a similar release process. t uses a Stable, Dev, and Beta version described on their official project page https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel:
Stable channel: This channel has gotten the full testing and blessing of the Chrome test team, and is the best bet to avoid crashes and other issues. It's updated roughly every two-three weeks for minor releases, and every 6 weeks for major releases.
Beta channel: If you are interested in seeing what's next, with minimal risk, Beta channel is the place to be. It's updated every week roughly, with major updates coming every six weeks, more than a month before the Stable channel will get them.
Dev channel: Want to see what's happening quickly, then you want the Dev channel. The Dev channel gets updated once or twice weekly, and it shows what we're working on right now. There's no lag between major versions, whatever code we've got, you will get. While this build does get tested, it is still subject to bugs, as we want people to see what's new as soon as possible.


• Position candles well away from flammable objects and materials and well away from any possible contact by pets or children.
• Place candles on heat-resistant surfaces, which will not transmit heat to the furniture on which they are placed. Ceramics work well for this purpose. Candles should also be placed in heat resistant bowls that will catch dripping wax, and secured in an appropriate holder so there is not the slightest possibility of the candle falling over, or being blown or knocked over.
• Never light a candle in a situation in which you might fall asleep before blowing it out.
• When blowing out a candle, hold your index finger in front of the flame and blow at it. Air will flow around your finger, extinguish the candle from both sides and prevent hot wax from splattering.
• Install a smoke detector in every room where candles are burned.


7 Ways to Out ATTRACT Your Competition - HELLO, my name is Scott!
1.	How often are customers coming to YOU? The more the better. It shortens your sales cycle, quickens customer acquisition time and reduces marketing costs. Attract; don't look.
2.	How often are markets targeting YOU? You need to become the bulls-eye, not the arrow. I call this Reverse Target Marketing. Being the selected, not the selector. Attract; don't seek.
3.	Does a lower fee make you more affordable, or less attractive? That's the thing about higher fees. They're not just intimidating; they're also tempting. It's all about value perception. Ask for more.
4.	How can you build an asset that is so attractive that buyers will come looking for it? Build word-of-mouth into your product, service or idea at the onset. Use baseline remarkability as your foot in the door; use enduring remarkability as your insurance to stay in the room. Think WOM first.
5.	What can you do to attract your favorite type of clients? Maybe write a personal ad for your ideal client. Maybe get video testimonials from your favorite clients and post them on your blog. Maybe include a section on your website that explains, 'A perfect client for me is…' Brainstorm ideal situations.
6.	Who is already attracted to me and sees me as a resource? If this is the case, you've got a MONSTER head start. More fans = less selling. Fanagement builds wealth.
