Q: Parameter is missing a value May you please assist me with this issue
I have created a report that receives 5 parameters

*

*@Site - Location Name

*@StartDate

*@EndDate

*@StartTime

*@EndTime

All seems to be working fine, the report filters according to what is required. The problem is now the same rdl file I need to publish it on another system and emmediately after publishing when I run it gives me this error "Reportviewer - specific report error: The 'StartTime' parameter is missing a value ;0;Void Error(System.String, System.Object[])"
Am not sure where to look into at this moment as I don't experience the error when running report on my local. Below is the code I used:
Parameters
@StartDate default = dateadd(dateinterval.Day, -1, Today)
@EndDate  default = =dateadd(dateinterval.Day, -1, Today)

What's in a Barcode? What Are The Different Types of Barcodes
Barcodes play an integral part in retail sales all over the world, but they offer tracking capabilities that go far beyond the supermarket checkout. Barcodes provide a versatile means to capture and share data electronically.
Each character in a barcode is expressed as a series of wide and narrow bars. Often barcodes have unique start and stop codes, so that the barcode scanner can determine if the barcode is being scanned forward or backward. The barcode scanner then sends a signal to the computer, which "decodes" the barcode information. A variety of barcodes exist for a broad spectrum of applications.
Numeric-only Barcodes: This category includes the UPC's commonly used on retail products in the United States and Canada. Numeric-only barcodes are generally used for retail applications, but are also used in blood banks and some older libraries. The Code 11 series was developed to track telecommunications equipment. Most numeric barcodes offer error correction and self-checking features.
Alpha-numeric Barcodes: This all-purpose code is used worldwide. LOGMARS meets US Government specification for tracking and data collection in shipping. Alpha-numeric barcodes are widely used in the healthcare industry, because can include a large quantity of information and error reduction.
Two-dimensional Barcodes: Used for material control and order confirmation, two-dimensional barcodes are ideal for encoding large amounts of information. The United Parcel Services uses a two-dimensional barcode, Maxicode, in its automated package sorting system.
Industry-standard Barcodes: Different industries have come up with their own barcode systems, creating an industry-universal barcode system. For instance, the Bookland EAN encodes books' ISBN information, for international book marking, while the ISSN/SISAC Barcode is used by the Optical Industry Association, for labeling retail optical products.
Ultimately, the time saved with barcode-based tracking systems allows employees to spend their time on other activities that generate income. It also means that businesses can cut down on staff for all these functions.
With all these options available, it can be difficult to decide which barcode is the best solution. Furthermore, barcode quality is extremely important. Certain common practices can guide barcode selection, especially if they are for external use.
For retail products that will be sold domestically, it is necessary to get a manufacturer ID. This information goes into a standard UPC code.
If a product will be sold internationally, it will need to be labeled with an EAN code, which is also a numeric-only barcode.
Some products will require an industry-specific barcode, so some research will be necessary to determine whether such a barcode exists for a given product.
If large amounts of data will be included in the barcode, a two-dimensional code would be the best choice.
For internal tracking applications, such as equipment inventories, a numeric-only barcode is usually sufficient.
In addition to the time saved on internal and external tracking, barcodes provide a valuable opportunity to improve operations in ways that translate into significant savings and increased income over time.
The functionality of barcodes makes them a versatile solution to data and information tracking. With multiple formats for a variety of applications, barcodes can be optimized for internal and external use in any industry.

Lo Slego fu un locale e club storico della scena rock, tantoché . Nato a Viserba di Rimini nel 1980, in piena rivoluzione punk, lo Slego, assieme all'Aleph - The Cult Club, sopperì alla mancanza, in quel periodo, di locali da ballo alternativi alle balere da liscio o alle discoteche più indirizzate nella disco music. Il club divenne inoltre un importante promotore di musica dal vivo, in cui si esibirono alcuni dei gruppi più interessanti del panorama rock e new wave nazionale ed internazionale.

Storia

23 novembre 1980
Alla fine degli anni '70, l'offerta musicale dei locali da ballo si divideva fra balere impegnate nella diffusione di musica tradizionale (liscio romagnolo, mazurca, polka, valzer) e discoteche con la loro disco music. Il rock del panorama musicale nazionale ed internazionale, nonostante l'avvento del punk nel 1977, era ancora fortemente influenzato dai "mostri sacri" degli anni '70, tendenza che però dimostrava sempre più la sua stanchezza a volte con espressioni eccessivamente "monumentali", altre con gli eccessi tecnicistici di certe espressioni del rock progressivo.
In questo contesto, nel 1980 alcuni ragazzi riminesi sull'onda della rivoluzione del primo punk, pensano sia possibile aprire un locale dove poter ballare la "New Wave" ed il Punk. Giovanni Tommaso Garattoni, Werter Corbelli, Roberto "Bull" Buldrini, Caterina Fabbri, Gaudenzia Angelini e Franco Fattori il 23 novembre 1980, una domenica pomeriggio, trasformarono una balera di periferia nello Slego. Il primo anno, che fu in realtà lungo solo cinque settimane, chiuse la notte di capodanno con una grande festa fino all'alba. Il locale in cui lo Slego risiedette da li in poi, veniva diviso con la balera di liscio La Sirenetta che usava il locale d'estate. In inverno diventava Lo Slego.

Lo Slego: 1980 -1982
Con l'inizio degli anni '80 il locale prende un giro maggiore, cambia nome e prendendo a prestito un verso di Eptadone degli Skiantos si ribattezza "Lo Slego", decidendo così di dare in mano la gestione all'ARCI e la direzione del locale a Pier Pierucci, seriamente intenzionato a creare un circuito di club in cui proporre concerti, DJ e performance. Nasce così quello che diventerà in qualche anno il Nightclubbin' Organization di cui facevano parte il Big Club di Torino, il New Panda di Salerno, il Suburbia di Perugia, il Viridis di San Giuliano Milanese, lo Psycho di Genova, il Manila di Firenze, l'Amnesia di Terni, l'Aleph di Gabicce, il Graffio di Modena, il Malaria di Giulianova, il Neon di Pordenone, il My Way di Fiorenzuola d'Arda ed il Plastic di Milano.
Fu in questo periodo che Thomas Balsamini divenne il principale DJ dello Slego, suonando tramite il Rockerilla Party in molti dei locali del Nightclubbin' Organization.

In quegli anni, inoltre, lo Slego organizzò numerosi concerti, fra cui è memorabile il primo concerto che i Litfiba tennero fuori Firenze nel 1981. A questi seguirono altri nomi importanti della scena fiorentina come Diaframma e Neon. Altri gruppi della scena nazionale che salirono sul palco dello slego in quegli anni furono i Gaznevada, gli Underground Life, Billy Blade and the Electric Razors, i Denovo e i romagnoli Mickey and the Mouses e Violet Eves.

Con gli X di John Doe ed Exene Cervenka, lo Slego aprì il suo palco a gruppi stranieri. Furono di questo periodo concerti dei Cult, dei Sound, dei Prisoners, Gun Club e dei Clock DVA.

Revival: 1985/1990
Nella metà degli anni '80 l'attenzione si sposta verso gruppi impegnati nella riscoperta di sonorità del passato, dal rock 'n' roll degli anni '50 alla psichedelia dei '70, dal beat al garage punk. Oltre al consueto folto numero di concerti di gruppi stranieri come Julian Cope, Green on Red, Opal, Died Pretty, Ramones alcuni degli italiani presentati in quegli anni furono i Four By Art, i Casino Royale allora indirizzati verso lo Ska, Gli Avvoltoi, i Birdman of Alcatraz ed i Sick Rose.

La chiusura
Nel 2000 il proprietario dello stabile in cui aveva sede lo Slego vende l'immobile, che verrà abbattuto per costruire un condominio. Questo evento determinò la definitiva chiusura del club che trovò la sua naturale prosecuzione nel riminese  Velvet Club.

Change transfer case fluid, reset needed by BMW?
I changed my transfer case fluid on my 2004 X3 but the fault light keeps on coming on once in a while. It goes away for a while once I turn off the engine and restart it. But am I suppose to reset the transfer case/computer via the dealer?
Last edited by Gee3; 10-19-2012 at 11:56 PM.
Yes, BMW call for a reset when the fluid is changed. If not the dealer, then someone with the appropriate computer tool.
Anyone in San Francisco have the reset tool so I don't have to go to the dealer? I'll buy you the beer and lunch!
How much are dealers and independent mechanics charging for the computer reset? I called my local dealer and they said $180! WTH?!?
Maybe I'll see if an independent shop can do it.
that light is an indication of an error in the system, the fluid wear values does not cause the light to come on.
I changed my transfer case oil around five months ago and has not reset anything. I hope it is not destroying anything. I thought as long as the oil is new the transfer case should be ok, but I might be wrong.
Also, the reset does not turn on any warning lights. It only activates an OBD code that say something about transfer case oil having excessive friction. I am sorry I cannot remember the exact wording now.
To be honest, I cannot imagine how anyone would know about this if they did not have a scanning device. I read mine because I have the Bavarian Technic device. I was resetting after an oil change and I noticed the warning. It even said the error would not cause a warning light to come on.
So, the question is: if the reset was so necessary, why doesn't it turn on a check engine light? What does the reset to anyway? Isn't the transfer case a stationary set of gears that transfers the vertical rotation to a horizontal one? What does the computer reset exactly?
I believe there are two different items that are affected by a reset, or whatever it is called.
The fluid condition monitor is supposed to know that there is new fluid in there, so it will know when the fluid is out of spec.
The transfer case just splits the power front and rear. However, you have x-drive, with a variable torque split. The x drive clutch packs have an actuator that applies pressure to shift torque front/rear. There was a reset procedure I read based on the actuator measuring its travel, so it knew where the engagement point was for the clutches. This is the one I would worry more about, as clutches not fully engaged could wear quickly.
It doesn't turn a light on because the driver is not supposed to change the fluid. The service manual describes the procedure.

Is there a service manual out for the X3?


Back and neck pain are two of the most common issues people experience throughout their lifetime. In fact, at any given time, nearly 31 million people in the U.S. are experiencing lower-back pain. Additionally, back pain is one of the most common reasons cited for missing work, which is why it's important to understand your back pain and how spinal decompression could be a good treatment option.
One of the most common causes of lower back pain are lumbar muscle strains and ligament sprains. When the back muscles are abnormally stretched too far a strain may occur, and overextending the ligaments may result in a sprain. Both conditions can be extremely painful and make it difficult to perform everyday tasks.
A majority of people will experience lower back pain at some point in their life, and several may also experience low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc. Each spinal disc contains two main parts–a soft inside layer and hard outside layer.
Discs herniate when the the soft inside layer herniates outside of the hard outer part. This puts pressure on sensitive spinal nerves which causes pain, numbness or weakness in one or both legs.
Sciatica is a common form of low-back and leg pain; however, it is usually a symptom rather than a diagnosis. The term means a patient is suffering from persistent pain along the sciatic nerve pathway.
Degenerative disc disease is not really a disease. Rather, it is a term used to describe the aging process of the spinal discs. We use our lower back in almost every movement, and the lumbar discs located in this area help us to flex, bend and twist.
As we age, the soft tissue between the vertebrae, known as discs, can break down and degenerate, causing pain. Because this area does not have its own blood supply, it cannot repair itself like other tissues in the body.
Luckily, most common spinal disorders (aside from those involving fractures) can be treated with spinal decompression therapy, a treatment used for several different spinal disorders. In recent years, non-surgical options have been cleared by the FDA as a non-invasive treatment to relieve pain.
Non-surgical decompression consists of several treatment cycles. Each treatment cycle consists of decompression (or traction) and partial relaxation. These cycles promote the diffusion of water, oxygen and nutrient-rich fluids from the outside of the spinal discs to the inside.
This helps torn, damaged and degenerated disc fibers heal and become strong again. Spinal decompression is almost always paired with rehab to correct biomechanics, increase muscular endurance and stretching tight muscles. With consistent treatment, decompression can help several spinal conditions become more manageable.
At 5280 Cryo, we strive to help our patients recover and reduce pain with a consistent routine of proven treatments. We offer non-surgical decompression therapy for several spine disorders, including bulging discs, herniated discs, pinched nerves, sciatica, radiating arm pain, degenerative disc disease, leg pain, facet syndrome and other neuromuscular and skeletal disorders.

Notes from a lowly Village Green Club Groundsman
by TurfCareBlog June 5, 2020
written by TurfCareBlog June 5, 2020
Wivelsfield Green CC is a small club in East Sussex which has had just a Sunday friendly team for the last 100 years and l am the current groundsman. We play on the village green which has a nice pavilion run by the village hall.
I have been there for about 35 years, and in those days, it was traditional for the oldest player in the team to take on the role of groundsman. Little has changed in that respect, you could say
In the 1980's the equipment list comprised of a general 24" Webb mower and a 3-foot cast iron push roller that was filled with concrete. Needless to say, the roller didn't get used very much as it took six men to push it out over the uneven outfield. Even then, if the square was softish, the men pushing it left heel imprints in the square where they tried to push it.
Could I give a shout out for Barcombe Landscapes, here as they took over cutting our outfield and the village green as a whole, and have done a marvellous job over the past 10 years or so.
Wheeling and dealing Groundsman
Through careful financial management we had accumulated £400 by 2002 which we decided to spend on a motorised roller. That was quickly reduced to £300 after the mower packed up and had to be replaced with a carefully sourced (eBay) purchase. The S&P 32RD roller was bought and quickly developed strong biceps on the volunteers to start the single cylinder diesel engine.Two years of that was enough so we put on a Honda engine, selling the old diesel engine to break even on the exchange project.
It soon became apparent that the roller was only good up until about mid-May when the ground got hard, so the next expense was to run a water main from the pavilion to the edge of the square. That was achieved quite cheaply with the use of slave labour, and soon dramatically improved things, which made for a happy groundsman.
We then had a major achievement in getting a grant from the 2012 Lottery fund, in conjunction with the village hall, to build a large equipment store, with separate stores for the other sports clubs. What a change from a dilapidated large garden shed with earth floors to somewhere that is secure, has lighting, power and heating to enable us to tinker away when needed.
Our coffers were temporarily drained and so we just acquired mowers on eBay as and when they became available for less than £50, even if we didn't want one! When our mower stocks exceeded the space available, we carried out a cull and generally sold on some after a service to make a profit.
We did however need a close-cut mower to cut the playing strips and our good friends at SACC helped us out, with their old Auto Certes which served us well for 8 years until the crankshaft broke at the end of last season (RIP).
We were then pretty much set-up with all the basics to be able to produce, with some effort, a half decent strip. At least one which wouldn't take your head off on a dry day. Our turfmanship was also slowly improving with trial and error, and then along came the Sussex Association of Cricket Groundsmen to give help and advice. You are never too old to learn!
Building an armoury of sorts
A series of smaller bits of equipment were then bought, comprising of a, Sisis lawnman; a cyclone fertiliser spreader, an Allen walkover sprayer and a huge double-wheel barrow. All those purchases have proved themselves. We also saw a Sisis Auto Rotorake Mk3 for sale for £400, which the Committee agreed was too good an offer to miss and that has also been a very big help as well
More judicious saving and wheeler dealings increased the pot to £1000 and I persuaded the committee there was a nice Auto Roller going 'cheap' which we could buy, then sell our S&P. The Auto Roller was collected and has been brilliant, with the extra weight and slightly wider.
The S&P had been a very good servant and, with the replacement engine; careful maintenance and a coat of green paint it gave us a profit of £1100 from when we bought it. The Auto Roller has a great Kubota diesel engine which starts on a pull cord first time, but that is getting a bit of a strain to an old man so we have acquired an electric start version of the same engine which we will fit soon.
Communication is key to Groundsman
Each year I produce an equipment list for our committee so they know what they've bought, and it is amazing to look back over the last 15 years to see how things have improved.
Recently, Alex Ellis (local groundsman) said he had seen a Ransomes 61 Super Certes for sale so I bought that for £250. It has needed a fair bit of work but is now working well. I also saw a Ransomes GA30 Aerator for sale for £700 at a country estate. The owner had bought it to aerate his lawn but the groundsman couldn't be bothered to use it, it was in good order so we squeezed that into the store.
It might be regarded as a luxury item, to some groundsman but aerating on clay soils is a job which you need to decide on within a window of a couple of days when it is softish but not too soft. Having the GA30 means we can aerate 2 or 3 times when we like, not last winter of course.
The square is now in a condition where I can take pride in producing reasonable strips for SACC and HHCC 3rd XI's on Saturdays and our own Sunday team. The 'sub-letting' of our ground on Saturdays has benefitted the Village Hall and that has benefitted us as well, plus of course it helps keep cricket in the village which I feel is important – much the same as a village pub.
Although we are a very small club, with just four members but several itinerant players we have economised where we can. We have developed a good relationship with our village hall, so we have been able to prioritise what we need to improve the square.

Top 5 Black Chick Flicks
MyMajicDC.com
We all have our guilty pleasures, whether it's watching trashy reality shows, reading the tabloids or eating bad foods, but the chick flick can be more than a simple guilty pleasure. Here are our top 5 chick flicks that we should not feel guilty about:
1) Waiting To Exhale
Terry McMillan's sassy black sister solidarity film of four women who are unlucky in love spoke to every woman's heart and soul. I mean who haven't been in one of those situations? This movie came out in 1995 ,the casting was so on point and have there ever been a better soundtrack?
Robin (Lela Rochon) is the long-time mistress of Russell (Leon), who keeps reneging on his promise to leave his wife for her. She dumps him to find a man she can have to herself, but her dates with a reliable but unattractive business partner (Wendell Pierce) and a drug addict (Mykelti Williamson) send her back to Russell. Savannah (Whitney Houston) is a successful television producer who also believes that her married lover Kenneth (Dennis Haysbert) will leave his wife. Bernadine (Angela Bassett) is a wealthy woman who abandoned her own career to raise a family. Her husband is now leaving her to marry a white woman. Gloria (Loretta Devine) is a beauty salon owner and single mother raising a teenage son. After years alone, she falls in love with a new neighbor, Marvin (Gregory Hines). The women share their stories over lunches and conversations at Gloria's salon.
2) Set It Off
How often do we root for criminals to steal a million dollars and live happily ever after? 'Set It Off" was often described as a black "Thelma and Louise". This film made us want to revolt against a system that treated these women like criminals before they even broke the law. Stony (Jada Pinkett Smith) has had to act as a parent to her little brother Stevie after their parents died. Cleo (Queen Latifah) is a butch lesbian who wants nothing more than to customize her classic car. Tisean (Kimberly Elise) is a shy single mother trying to make ends meet and Frankie (Vivica A. Fox) is a bank teller who gets fired from her bank teller's job simply because she knew one of the guys in a robbery that went wrong and left four people dead.
3) How Stella Got Her Groove Back
With the term "cougar" on everyone's lips recently, this movie focuses on Stella (Angela Bassett), a divorced Black woman in her 40s who takes a much needed break from her job and travels to Jamaica where she meets and falls in love with Winston (Taye Diggs), who is half her age. Winston follows her to New York and the two try to decide if their relationship can work.
4) Beauty Shop
A spin-off from the popular "Barbershop" franchise, Queen Latifah struts her stuff in this sassy comedy.
Latifah's Gina Norris, is living in Atlanta, where her young daughter Vanessa is studying piano at a prestigious music school. Gina is a stylist at a trendy salon who quits because she cannot deal with her boss' condescending attitude. After getting a bank loan, Gina opens her own beauty shop in a not-so-desired neighborhood where she hires a staff of headstrong stylists.(Alfre Woodard, Golden Brooks and Sherri Shepherd).
5) Two Can Play That Game
Vivica A. Fox's Shanté is a glamorous advertising executive, whose girlfriends turn to her for relationship advice. Shanté seems to have all the answers when it comes to romance and men. So when she catches her boyfriend Keith (Morris Chestnut) seeing another girl, Shanté will stop at nothing to win back his affections and her own pride. Her plan? She decides to implement a 10-day plan to eliminate the competition and get her man to mend his cheating ways. But of course there's a twist…Dude doesn't fall for Shanté's games, and instead gives her a taste of her own medicine.
So, if you're looking for a new movie to add to this list, check out "Just Wright" which was recently released on DVD.
An uplifting comedy set against the exciting world of championship basketball, Just Wright is a romantic sports film starring three of Hollywood's most charismatic personalities. The movie follows Leslie Wright (Queen Latifah; The Secret Life of Bees), a straight-shooting physical therapist who gets the gig of a lifetime working with NBA All-Star Scott McKnight (Common; Date Night). Everything is going great until Leslie finds herself falling for Scott. Oblivious to her romantic overtures, McKnight is instead drawn to Leslie's gorgeous childhood friend Morgan (Paula Patton; Precious), who has her sights set on being an NBA trophy wife.
Is Leslie destined to play the role of "best friend" forever or will Scott finally see that what he has always wanted is right in front of him?
Directed by Sanaa Hamri (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2), Just Wright features cameos by real NBA basketball stars Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic), Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat),
LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers), as well as singer John Legend, among others. The Just Wright two-disc Blu-ray with Digital Copy and DVD feature a variety of bonus material including one-on-one interviews with Queen Latifah, Common and the rest of the cast (including NBA players), a gag reel, and much more. The Blu-ray and DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $39.99 U.S./$49.99 Canada and $29.98 U.S./$43.48 Canada, respectively.

We hear a lot about antioxidants on how important they are for our health, but what are antioxidants and what do they do for our bodies? Our cells go through the natural oxidation process in which we need a breakdown of that process to understand the need for antioxidants.
Of our five senses, vision is one of most important. Our sight will eventually diminish to some degree over the years. Though there is laser surgery to help correct problematic vision, there are also preventive measures that can be taken to keep your eyes healthy.
Researchers are finding that goji berries protect your eyes against macular degeneration. This disease is where the tissue deteriorates in the part of the eye which is responsible for your central vision. This causes blurring and blind spots in your vision. Usually most people start suffering with macular degeneration at age fifty and older. With the goji berry's antioxidants carotenoids, will help to prevent eye problems. Patients eating goji berries noticed less blind spots.
Goji berries are considered by some researchers as the most nutritionally known fruit in the world. It is loaded with flavonoids which protects your eyes against retinopathy. This is when the blood vessels leak blood into the eye. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common. When a diabetic's blood glucose is too high this can cause the blood leaking into the eye. Make sure you continue to follow your doctor's treatment plan.
Goji berries helps your eyes adapt to darkness faster. It will also improve your vision in dimmer light. These nutrient filled berries have helped patients improve their eyesight after they started having vision problems in as little as two weeks. Go ahead and include goji berries in your diet and see if you notice a difference.
You have two types of cholesterol, the low density lipoprotein (LDL) which is the bad cholesterol and high density lipoprotein (HDL) the good cholesterol. Elevated (LDL) contributes to heart disease and strokes, but increasing your (HDL) plays an essential role in preventing heart disease and strokes.
How does our body end up with too much low density lipoprotein (LDL)?
The cholesterol gets delivered to organs and tissues in your body by these lipoproteins. If you end up with too much cholesterol in your body, it becomes oxidized. These oxidized particles (plaques) can build up under the blood vessel lining and can obstruct the flow of blood causing coronary arterial disease along with other heart diseases. If you consume foods high in cholesterol and saturated fats, chances are your LDL will be elevated, which will put you at risk for coronary and heart disease. Also, another factor of concern is your family genetics.
Having a family history of hypercholesterolemia ( high LDL) is where a mutation in the gene allows the LDL cholesterol not to be absorbed into the cells as well as it should. This causes the LDL cholesterol to continue circulating in the blood where it eventually sticks to the artery wall thus causing a life threatening health hazard. Most of the time this gene is inherited from just one parent, but the children have a 50% chance of inheriting this mutated gene. Male children have a stronger chance of developing coronary artery disease before they reach fifty.
If you have a family history of hypercholesterolemia, it is vitally important to start exercising and eating foods that are low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Adding fiber and eating foods that provide antioxidants will help to balance your cholesterol. All natural goji berries are one of the best sources of antioxidants you will find. They provide an array of nutrients, your body needs, on a daily basis. Goji berries have more vitamin C than oranges. Goji berries will help to lower your LDL cholesterol and elevate your HDL (good cholesterol).

When you think of us living in the Maldives, going out snorkeling, living the 'Island life', I bet you don't think about our bicycles. We do! We think about them all the time. They are an essential part of our equipment! How would we dash to the Den for Ocean Bingo or race to Eco Centro for recycling??
Our bicycles help us take all our equipment for snorkelling AND reduce our impact on the environment. A bit of pedal power goes a long way on an island. But what happens when we need more than just our masks and fins with us? What if we need to take two sets of diving equipment across the island. Well then Houston, we have a problem.
That's when we have to start thinking outside the bike! We tried a wheelbarrow (too unstable in the sand). We tried walking (too tiring and uncomfortable). We tried asking other people to do the heavy lifting for us (you can imagine how that went). We tried balancing the baskets on our handlebars (we drove into bushes and fell over). Then we hit a winner, we took our problem to the dive school. The brilliant team wheeled out a delivery trailer and thankfully it was still pedal powered! So we loaded up and off we went, slightly unsteadily but before we knew it we were at the beach ready to go.
So if there is something you're finding a bit difficult, or something that is not working, try thinking outside the bike and see if there is another way to get things done. There might just be someone brilliant around the corner with a different idea.


Summer time is when many homeowners start to think about updates they can make to their homes. From outdoor to indoor, these renovations will make your home more enjoyable this summer while also adding value.

Comics Other Universes Halcyon
Power Level: Heavy Hitter
Role: Character (Heroic)
What happens when the never-ending battle for truth and justice ends?
Halcyon is a deconstructionist 2010 Image Comics super-hero series. It is set in an original war where crime and violent conflict all but vanish within months, making heroes largely pointless.
This profile has major S P O I L E R S.
Transom becomes the only hero to still be useful in a world where supers have become irrelevant. Only he us able to arrive at the scene of a disaster or accident in time to save lives.
Real Name: Unrevealed.
Marital Status: Unrevealed.
Known Relatives: None.
Group Affiliation: Halcyon.
Base Of Operations: Halcyon underwater headquarters; Global.
Height: 5'11" Weight: 190 lbs.
Eyes: Brown Hair: None
Other Distinguishing Features: Transom forgets to wear his face mask and burns off all the hair on his head. That being said, when he was recuperating from his injuries it did not grow back, despite his having Hyper-metabolism (Regeneration).
Transom is a super speedster . He's able to cross the world and save victims of disasters in seconds all the while catching his favorite TV show in ten millisecond intervals.
Transom is stronger than average, but not necessarily super strong. He is seen carrying two average sized adults away from a train crash at super speed.
Transom healed from 19 breaks and fractures in a matter of minutes due to his hyper-metabolism. He also did not stop to rest or sleep for a full month.
Transom, the world's fastest hero, became the only game in town when a "Global Humanitarian Phenomenon" occurred. All violent crime, even violent impulses in humans, ceased, effectively creating world peace.
The other heroes, not fast enough to respond to accidents and natural disasters found themselves without purpose. But Transom continued to save lives. Train derailments, earthquakes, towering infernos, and nuclear meltdowns — Transom was the only one who could reach them in time.
It was during a tsunami one month after the "GHP" that exhaustion final took its toll on Transom. His power failed. Crashing into the water wall of the tsunami, he suffered multiple breaks. Calling for his teammate Zenith, she pulled him out of the water, and began to help the victims of the tsunami.
Later, while recovering and rehabbing at Halcyon's underwater headquarters, Transom confronts Sabre. Sabre has come to do research on the "GHP". Transom questions Sabre's motivations, saying the only reason he is trying to solve what is causing the "GHP" is because he (Sabre) feels as purposeless as the others.
Zenith and Sabre discover that their arch-enemy Oculus is behind the "GHP". Sabre vows to destroy the mechanism, while Zenith and the others vow to defend it. Transom gathers with the heroes (and some villains) to defend Oculus's lair. This is where the mechanism that is causing the "GHP" is stored.
Battle for peace
Transom and Enos enter and stand guard at the mechanism itself, while Zenith and the others stay outside to defend the perimeter.
Sabre arrives. However he has not come alone and has gathered heroes and villains together who want to see the mechanism destroyed and return the world to its "natural" state. Both groups discover that close proximity to the machine negates the "GHP" and they are able to fight once more.
Sabre sneaks past the outside defenders and finds Transom and Enos waiting for him. Sabre has a power nullifier and presses the button, but Transom moves faster than the nerve impulses in Sabre's hand. He is thus able to grab Sabre and runs with him, wind shear tearing away at Sabre's uniform.
But then the power nullifier activates, and Transom is unprepared for the loss of his power. Propelled forward by his own momentum but without his power to control it, he slams into a far wall, leaving a crater and not much else. Whether or not Transom survived his collision (highly unlikely) remains to be seen.
Transom is a bald, White male who wears a hunter-green uniform, and racing gloves. He does have a cowl, but rarely (if ever) wears it.
His costume sports "high-friction" joints where is arms and legs are.
A bit of a T.V. junkie, Transom is easy going, almost casual, even when saving lives. Despite being driven when he becomes the "only hero still left", when he is forced to rehab after sustaining injuries, he does not lament about the lives being lost while he is at rest. Still, he takes his responsibilities very seriously.
"I can break the sound barrier just by walking."
"Floods and fires, collisions and collapses… all the stuff no hero on Earth — even Zenith — can possibly get to in time. No hero except one, that is."
"Just one more crisis… One more, and I'll take a rest."
Zenith: "What are you doing ?"
Transom: "Bullet train derailment in Japan, earthquake clean-up in Peru, towering inferno in London. Plus, the Top Chef finale's on and I'm catching it in ten millisecond intervals."

Regeneration: After rescuing Transom from the tsunami, Zenith says it will take ten minutes for his hyper-metabolism to heal him from 19 fractures.
No need to sleep: He apparently goes non-stop for 1 full month without rest or sleep. Although we don't see him stop to eat either, it is plausible that he was eating on the run.
Public ID: Transom has no hair on his face, yet does not appear wind burned either. He often forgets to wear his face mask while moving at super-speeds and burned all the hair off his head. Transom has stopped in public long enough to be seen and photographed.

This singular tequila is the result of a lengthy handcrafted production process meticulously supervised by our great experts. The process begins with the best selection of quality agaves that have reached a maturing stage of no less than 10 years.
Following our tradition, the agaves are steam cooked for several days in stone ovens obtaining a very select extract which is distilled twice, followed by several years of slow aging in new French oak casks.
When it reaches the peak of ageing, the Tequila Master performs the "marriage" of the finest selection of aged tequilas. The result is 1800 Coleccion, an aged tequila with a silky consistency and a deep golden color, a smooth mellow taste with a subtle touch of almond, revealing a very special ditictive flavour.
The design of the decanter in pewter expresses the unique style of Alejandro Colunga, born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico in 1948. He studied architecture by considers himself a self-taught plastic artist, since in his search for self-expression he has been probing and experimenting, with master handcraftmen, the time honored and traditional techniques of Mexico, in graphic arts, as well as ceramics and sculpture. In this way, he has transformed clay, wood, ceramic and bronze into works of art of extraordinary quality, admired in Mexico as well as worldwide.
Distillery: Tequila Cuervo La Rojeña, S.A. DE C.V.
1800 Gran Reserva Tequila Anejo - Edicion del Nuevo Milenio is a Tequila designed exclusively for the change of the Millennium. This Tequila rested in new French Oak casks since 1997.

Robert Holmes: A Life In Words REVIEW
BOOK REVIEW Remembering classic Doctor Who's greatest writer
By Ian Berriman
Robert Holmes: A Life In Words book review .
If he were still with us, Robert Holmes would probably be bewildered and appalled at becoming the subject of a book. A humble man, he referred to himself as "just a hack script writer".
Classic Who fans disagree; for many, this pipe-smoking one-time copper remains the series' definitive writer – and with good reason. Holmes wrote classics like "The Talons Of Weng-Chiang" and "The Caves Of Androzani", script edited the series throughout a mid-70s high period, and made countless significant contributions to Who lore: this is the man who created the Master, the Sontarans and the Autons, and who first named the Time Lords' home planet.
Don't expect to learn much about Holmes's private life; the focus is very much on his writing. However, his personality does shine through in quotes from old interviews and fanzine articles, and in the warm recollections of colleagues like writer Chris Boucher, who describes being script edited by "Bob" (as everyone called him) as like being prodded along by an encouraging schoolmaster.
Meticulously researched, the book draws on the BBC's written archives to paint an incredibly detailed portrait of Holmes's career, covering not only his time on Who but also his prior work on long-forgotten series like Knight Errant and Family Solicitor , and later scripts for shows like Shoestring and Bergerac .
Early on in particular, some of the fruits of Richard Molesworth's labours make for heavy going, unless ploughing through Emergency Ward 10 episode synopses thrills you to the core. But compensation comes in the shape of treats from Holmes's personal files.
These include pitches for numerous never-made TV series (some SF, like Schizo , a thriller about compassionless human mutants, and Lituvin 40 , a planned team-up with Who producer Philip Hinchcliffe about an experimental drug that's actually an alien chemical) and Holmes's original breakdowns for stories like "Carnival Of Monsters" and "The Time Warrior", which contain some fascinating differences from the finished scripts - the first time he set it down in black and white, it was spelt "Galfrey"!
Other treats include The Space Trap , the spec submission for a standalone SF serial which first caught the attention of the Who production team, and his proposed storyline for a 20th anniversary special called "The Six Doctors" (yes, six!).
These rarities make A Life In Words a treasure trove of delights for anyone who venerates the name Robert Holmes – as every Who fan should.

Toyota Pulls Out of Long Beach Grand Prix
By City News Service Aug 16, 2018
LONG BEACH (CNS) - Toyota Motor North America has decided not to renew its title sponsorship agreement for the annual Grand Prix of Long Beach, which it has sponsored for 44 years, it was announced today.
``We have had a phenomenal relationship with Toyota for 44 years, a record in the racing world," Jim Michaelian, president and CEO of the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, said in a statement. ``In recent discussions, however, Toyota has elected not to renew as the title sponsor. This has now opened up an opportunity to identify a new title partner. Coming off a very successful 44th Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, we're excited about the future and are exploring all possible sponsorship opportunities that might exist in the market."
There was no immediate word from Toyota on what prompted the company to drop its sponsorship.
"Toyota has had an incredibly successful 44-year run as the entitlement sponsor of the Grand Prix of Long Beach," according to a statement from the company. ``We value the relationship we've built over those years, but feel it is in the best interest of Toyota to no longer be the entitlement sponsor."
Michaelian said that ``Toyota came aboard our fledgling event in 1975 as Official Pace Car provider and in 1980, Toyota stepped up to become our entitlement sponsor and remained in that position for 39 years. In 1976, Toyota created the charitable Toyota `Race for Youth' Match Race, which would become the world-famous Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race starting in 1977, continuing for the next 40 years.
"Among the many beneficiaries of this race were the Children's Hospitals of Long Beach and Orange County. Together, over the years, we were able to build the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach into America's #1 Street Race.
"On behalf of the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, I would like to thank Toyota for all that it did to help us grow our event and make it what it is today. We are proud to have had Toyota be the most prominent of our sponsor partners for so many years."
The 2019 Grand Prix of Long Beach will take place April 12-14.


No idea about the amenities . . . but approximately 70% of our universe is composed of "Lakes of Fire" . . . called galaxies held together by Dark Matter (comprised of the same unmeasurable substance that probably comprises those "flames" of consciousness that are produced by our brain and travel outward into the universe like the flames of a fire). That would make the chances about 70% that the "Lake of Fire" you are concerned about is real . . . right?
There sure is a secluded cove. But if I put it out here on the internet, then it wouldn't be so secluded any more! (As to fish, yeah, you can catch fish. There's devilfish all over the place).
I can explain the lake of fire.
One time I was eating at a Chinese place up on Lake City Way in Seattle (actually, Shoreline). I wasn't really familiar with Chinese food's nuances, but I'd always been able to eat my Mexican food pretty hot. So I asked for the hot oil, and they brought me a teeny dish of maroon stuff about the width of a Kennedy half dollar. I dumped it on my Kung Pao Chicken (naturally, ordered with 5* heat), mixed it in real good, then began to eat--making sure to eat the red peppers as well. Within five minutes, my mouth was a small lake of fire that nothing would quench.
All the legends and stories and tales about a lake of fire are ways in which a true story and a real event gained momentum in the retelling.
The Lake of Fire is real. The Bible said on Judgment Day there will be loud weepings and gnashing of teeth when the resurrected humans are told their names are not listed in the Book of Life. This revelation is from God, even the demons tremble at the prospect of going into the Lake burning with brimstone.
REV. 12: And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
One good thing about fishing in the Lake of Fire is that any fish you catch will already be fried so you won't have to bother with cooking. I would recommend a boat with a very thick hull and some heavy duty air conditioning. Apparently I will also be a resident at this location, or so I've been told, so I hope I really won't be gnashing my teeth because I've spent so much money on dental work. I'm hoping to find some hot chicks down there (well, they're bound to be hot ) and maybe eternity won't be so bad afterall.
