We decided to self drive the Golden Circle in Iceland because we hate people. I'm kidding. We don't hate people. We just hate being trapped on tours with hordes of people. So instead, we chose to rent a car and drive Iceland's Golden Circle route on our own, starting and finishing in Reykjavik. There would be no early morning wake up call to accommodate various hotel pick ups, and no lingering around waiting for people who had not returned to the group on time. It would just be our family of four on the open road. In this post, I'll share everything we enjoyed on this amazing Iceland day trip, which was one of our favourite experiences on our Iceland stopover.
Iceland's Golden Circle is an attraction-filled route that can be taken as a tour (bus, mini-bus, etc.), or self driven in your own vehicle. This is not to be confused (and it often is) with the Iceland Ring Road, which takes you around the whole perimeter of the island of Iceland and is a much longer journey.
What Will You See on the Golden Circle?
Along the way, you will see some of Iceland's most spectacular geological features including Þingeller National Park (the meeting place of 2 tectonic plates), the Haukadalur Valley geothermal field and geysers, and the gorgeous Gullfoss Waterfall. If you so choose, you can add in a few cool extra stops such as the Secret Lagoon hot pools and Kerid Crater.
How Long Does it Take to Drive the Golden Circle ?
The direct driving time to do the whole loop, is only about 3.5 hours. We left Reykjavik at about 10am and were back around 4pm going at a leisurely pace, stopping for lunch and a swim. Most tours will run you about 9 hours, although some companies offer an express tour, that pares it down to about 7 hours.
While not officially a stop, along the Golden Circle route you will see the most gorgeous Icelandic horses that are worth pulling over for. This breed is unique to Iceland and has genetic traits that are perfect for the rough terrain and climate of the country. They even have two additional gaits outside of the traditional walk/trot/canter/gallop adapted to this rugged landscape. As shown below, there are also other animal attractions to enjoy along (and sometimes wandering on) the road.
This historical natural site was the location of Iceland's first parliament, the Althing, which may just be the oldest democracy in the world (930AD). This location also has very unique geographical features as it is the meeting place of two tectonic plates. You can actually walk between the plates in the rift valley.
This active geothermal field bubbles away, with the exciting main event being blasts of water spouting from The Great Geysir every few minutes (much to the delight of the crowd). It sometimes spouts as high at 60 meters !
When the sun peeped out from behind the clouds as we approached Gullfoss Falls, I thought I had found paradise. Fed by glacial waters, these falls drop into a 70 meter canyon. On a sunny day, you might even see a rainbow like this one !
We visited quite a number of geothermal pools in Iceland but The Secret Lagoon was our favourite. We happened to hit it on a beautiful afternoon, which helped enhance the experience. What we really loved, however, was the fact that right beside the pool you had boiling water just bubbling out of the earth, spilling towards the pool. Coming from safety-conscious North America, this made the adventure much more exciting for our children.
A popular dining spot along the Golden Circle route is Gullfoss Kaffi at Gullfoss Falls (people love their lamb soup). We chose instead to have a late lunch in Fludir at Kaffihus Grund, which had simply excellent food (and is just minutes from the Secret Lagoon).
This is quite an important topic and I plan on writing a whole post about renting cars in Iceland. In the meantime, however, if you are considering renting a car in Iceland I want you to be aware of a couple of things.
Car rentals in Iceland are expensive and so is fuel. I mention this so you can avoid the sticker shock that we experienced. There are a few budget car rental places, such as the aptly named SAD cars (using older vehicles), but please read reviews carefully. We were very happy with our car rental from Reykjavik Cars. They receive very decent reviews and are only a short shuttle ride from Keflavík International Airport (KEF).
Iceland is the one place that you want to buy the extra gravel protection insurance (GP) to cover windshield and body damage. Repairs in Iceland are extremely expensive and chips from gravel on the road are common. A car rental agency employee told me that they typically get about 5 car returns a day that needed to go in for body repairs. As we returned our car, a woman next to me was in tears after being told that she needed to pay $2000 in damages . By some miracle (and it truly was a miracle judging by some of the back roads we accidentally took), our car was fine.
Names of locations can be a little confusing for tourists, unless you happen to have studied Icelandic in school. If you choose to rent a GPS with your car, ask the rental car agency to program in your destinations. It is not uncommon for tourists to get a little off-track in this country. To understand why, check out this humorous BBC article on a GPS tourist mishap in Iceland.

Did you need a 4×4 car for the golden circle?
We did not need a 4 x 4 to drive the Golden Circle but we did it in Summer. The road is fully paved. The Ring Road is another story as some sections are not paved. We will be returning to Iceland this winter and plan to rent a 4 x 4 for a trip on part of this road.
Can you also suggest, if we should take a hotel in Rekjyavik itself for the 5 days or plan it for different destinations?
Thank you for this guide, i will do this trip in august!
How exciting! I am really envious as I would so love to get back to Iceland. Enjoy Alejo !

EU accession news, governmental digitalization, Serbian dairy production expanding to Russia, agro economics, international competition in horticulture, and the Serbians biscuits that are conquering the world - The week in Serbian agriculture
©James Yarema
Serbia needs to technologically adapt to the international market - The country is a dominant exporter on the Russian market but Serbian producers have found a strong competitor in Iran, a country that producers around 1.7 million tons of apples annually.
Half of the regulations Serbia needs to harmonize with the EU refer to agriculture
Half of the regulation that Serbia needs to adopt within its EU accession process refer to agriculture, that is, Chapter 11 (Agriculture and rural development), Chapter 12 (Food safety, veterinary and phytosanitary policy), and Chapter 13 (Fisheries) – stated the Serbian Agriculture Minister Nedimovic at the a session of the National Convention on the EU.
The minister underscored that Serbia's agricultural budget should be three or four times higher once the country becomes an EU member state. According to the Mr. Nedimovic, documents related to Chapter 11 have already been sent to the European Commission, and he expects no issues there. Chapter 12 is the most sensitive and challenging part for the Ministry, Mr. Nedimovic noted, adding that everything will be done to smooth the process as much as possible once a Law on regulating the agricultural products market is adopted. He also announced that the government adopted that bill at the beginning of June. He expects it to facilitate the Serbian agriculture sector's integration in the EU, that is, the adoption of chapters referring to that field.
The Law on regulating the market of agricultural products, will soon be before the Parliament. The Minister underlined that the adoption of the bill would allow everyone in the agriculture chain (from producers to refiners) to be positioned precisely, a matter previously regulated by the general law on trade. So far, this has been regulated through the Commodity Reserves. "For the first time, Serbia will regulate the market in terms of agricultural producers, wholesale buyers, and refiners, specifying their position in the system in legal terms. We will have the tools necessary for regulating extremes, with the lowest and high prices, which is something that has been happening with cereals, for example," stated the Minister for the national broadcaster RTS. The Minister said that Serbia never had the Law on regulation of the market of agricultural products, but so far it has been regulated in the area of the entire trade. "The Directorate for Agrarian Payments will now have a special body to deal with price tracking, determining producer prices, and regulating fluctuations," the Minister explained. The new law, coordinated with EU regulations, is expected to come into effect in 2022. The Minister pointed out that every year €350 million is allocated from the budget for subsidies, adding that there would be two more public calls this year. "One will be seriously generous, 60 million euros, for the purchase of physical assets of farms - equipment, facilities, machinery, everything that can serve, those who are small and who want to become medium-sized. We had a competition and from the World Bank and the Serbian government, a lot of money goes to agriculture this year, we are trying to modernise machinery because then there are lower costs and higher profits," states Nedimovic.
Catching up with the EU comes at a cost
As Serbia has made it clear that it is determined to join the European Union, certain laws need to be amended under the Brussels conditions to bring Serbian legislation in line with the EU regulations. Among these legislative amendments, the amendment of the Law regulating excise duty is currently being debated in the Parliament. Serbia has so far tried to protect its brandy production from imported concentrated beverages by applying different tax rates to fruit and grain juices. As a result, imported whiskey and gin, for example, were subject to much higher excise duties than domestic brandy. If the government's amendments are accepted by MPs - imported spirits will soon be much cheaper and domestic brandies will become more expensive. Who will benefit from this change is worth thinking about, because the change is not suitable for the local brandy consumers and makers, for sure. Whiskey lovers, on the other hand, can be happy.
Online register of administrative procedures launched
The Register of Administrative Procedures has been recently launched. It currently includes over 1.600 procedures: services offered to Serbian businesses by 85 public administration bodies and organizations. Director of the Public Policy Secretariat of the Serbian Government, Mrs Tosic says the register will be expanded, and all 2.600 administrative procedures referring to businesses should become part of the register in two months.
Also, the English version of the website should be launched in April 2022 at the latest. The plan for the register is to also contain all administration procedures referring to citizens by 2022 and original processes of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and local self-government units by end-2023. According to the Director, businesspeople can use the portal to access request forms, information about documents submitted with requests, the account numbers, and the necessary fee or commissions, as well as all the other relevant information. "This portal eliminates crowds and the need to wait at counters when seeking information," the Director pointed out.
Sabac dairy to build a factory in Russia
With the support of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation (CCI RF), Serbian dairy group Mlekara Sabac will build a factory in Russia. This was agreed upon in Saint Petersburg at a meeting between Serbian Chamber of Commerce (PKS) President Marko Cadez and CCI RF President Sergey Katyrin. Mlekara Sabac will start building the factory in Moscow Oblast next year. Soft cheese and yogurt made with top-quality Russian milk will be produced there in line with the International Food Standard (IFS) for the Russian and foreign markets, the PKS announced. "CCI RF will support the construction of the Mlekara Sabac factory and projects of other Serbian companies that want to expand their operations and have a good position in the Russian market," Katyrin stated. Cadez urged Katyrin to visit Serbia with a delegation of Russian businesspeople and hold direct talks with representatives of the Serbian business community to discuss potential cooperation.
Serbian biscuit "Plazma" to double production
Bambi's new €12 million plant in Pozarevac, where Plazma biscuits will be made, will start working in September this year, allowing the production of the popular biscuit to be nearly doubled, announced Bambi General Manager Mr. Stajkovic.
"Last year, we exceeded 30.000 tons of finished products, with Plazma accounting for 22.000 tons. The new production line will have a capacity of 15.000 tons a year, nearly doubling our Plazma production," Stajkovic noted. He also announced the construction of a new development center, enabling the top-quality training of secondary school students, university students, and interns.
President of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Cadez pointed out that in 2020, a year marked by the coronavirus pandemic, Bambi had reported a 15% rise in exports. "It's a fantastic thing when you come to a company that, in a year that was not easy at all, managed to increase exports by 15 percent. It is fantastic when you come to a company, a leader in both Serbia and the region and see that it is slowly growing into a world leader as part of the Coca-Cola Hellenic Group,". He added that the company's products would soon be available in Coca-Cola cafés around the world. He said that a new facility and production line for "plasma" biscuits would be built within the company's factory, and that it would cost more than 12 million euros. He added it was "the largest investment of the Coca-Cola Hellenic Group ever, and this 'Bambi's tenth production plant will be operational in September." Coca-Cola Hellenic Group enabled "Bambi" to grow from a regional to a worldwide leader. The company has 800 employees in Pozarevac and Belgrade and is part of Coca-Cola HBC.

A forest in Grivska, Serbia. This year, Serbia produced 143 thousand m3 of timber, more than 30 thousand more than in 2020.
NESTLÉ Serbia reports 28.8% rise in sales in Q1 2021
Nestlé Serbia recorded a sales growth of nearly 5% in 2020, and in Q1, 2021, that growth was 28.5% y-o-y, announced the company. At a presentation of the company's business results, Country Manager of Nestlé Adriatic Hub South Mrs. Davidovic said Nestle produced over 250 products locally in Serbia and exported them to more than 30 countries. "Instant coffee is a leading product in the Serbian market with a share of over 66%. Food products are also prominent, with almost the entire range of products made in Serbia," Davidovic pointed out. The company's Business Executive Director (BEO) Food Renata Matusinovic noted that over 50% of raw materials used in the Surcin-based factory came from local sources. "That drives our obligation to take care of our suppliers," Matusinovic said. According to her, the company is very dedicated to sustainability and environmental protection. For example, the production process has saved 24,000 m3 of water, and the use of plastic has declined by 50 tons by reducing the dimensions of packaging.
Apple exports to Russia jeopardized by the competition from Iran
Serbian apple growers, who sell their fruit mostly in Russia, need to implement state-of-the-art technologies and switch up the offer to keep up with competitors from Iran, who have been conquering the Russian market since last year, explained professor at the Faculty of Agriculture in Novi Sad Mr. Keserovic. As he told the Beta news agency, Iran produces around 1.7 million tons of apples per year; this year in Serbia, a third of that amount was left unsold in cold storages because farmers refused to sell apples at a price of cca €0.38 per kg. "Because of major competition, not only has the apple price not increased, but it has dropped to €0.29 per kg, so they remain unsold," explained the professor. According to him, apple orchards are quickly becoming more numerous around the world. In the Caucasus region, they plant apples on plantations of 1.500 hectares every year. If Serbian apple growers want to continue with that activity, they need to implement the latest technologies and change the offer in favor of early-ripening apples and red varieties, raise the standards until they reach top quality, as well as seek new markets.
Imports are not favored by local growers
Imports are putting not only Serbian livestock farmers and brandy makers in a difficult situation, but also, as the current situation shows, tomato growers. As the ripening of the primary tomatoes was delayed this year due to the cold spring, while buyers were looking for red berry vegetables, traders resorted to imports. As a result, tomatoes imported from Greece, which has a warmer coastal climate than south of Serbia, have been knocking down domestic prices. As a result, despite the increase in their production costs, Serbian producers are forced to offer their own produce at lower prices. A kilo of tomatoes currently costs €1.7 in Serbia. The situation was similar with early yields of strawberries. When the domestic strawberries appeared on the market weeks ago, the price was €6.8 per kg. This was seen by traders as an "insult" and they immediately resorted to imports, causing the price to fall below €1.7/kg overnight.
Of course, this is good for Serbian consumers, they can now buy berries per kilogram basis - but it is a question of what will happen to Serbian producers of strawberries. Because in recent years, many of them have already taken a wand in their hands. According to the latest news, the same thing happened with the cherries, which cost three times as much as the most expensive strawberries. As soon as the first cherries grown in Serbia appeared on the market, eye-catching traders arranged to bring Chilean cherries into the country from 12.5 thousand kilometers away and crush the domestic price with it. Maybe consumers should follow the advice to consume all fruits and vegetables at their ripening time in Serbia. In this way, one doesn't burden its wallet and help domestic producers at the same time.
Damage in state-owned forests
Because of damages in state-owned forests, the volume of felled timber in Serbia came at 143.000 m3, up by some 30.000 m3 y-o-y, the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia announced. More than half of it (75.300 m3) was due to natural causes, followed by plant diseases and human-caused damage. The number is the highest when it comes to Sumadija and Western Serbia Region, where the felled timber volume reached 80.500 m3, up by 30.000 m3 from 2019. Half of it resulted from natural inclemencies, followed by plant diseases and damage caused by insects. Last year, there were 26 fires causing damage to state-owned and private forests. Also, illegal logging activities resulted in the loss of 24.500 m3 of timber, 14.100 m3 of which was fire-wood. Illegal logging was the most pronounced in the Southern and Eastern Serbia Region (20.000 m3).
Factories from the EU moving from Asia to the Balkans
Western Balkan economies might have great benefit from the trend of returning the production of multinational companies from Asia to Europe, according to the study "Potential of the Western Balkans for Attracting Foreign Investments in the Post-Covid Period," done by the WB Chamber Investment Forum in cooperation with the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies. In order to use that chance, the study says, investments in educating the qualified personnel, developing infrastructure and an encouraging economic atmosphere that will make the Western Balkan more competitive are needed. "We should use the chance to attract new investments in the post-Covid period," says WB6 CIF secretary general Tatjana Sterjova-Dushkovska. She added that the goal of the study was to present the advantages of the region and point to the areas that needed additional resources to make WB economies as attractive as possible to domestic and foreign investors. The full study is available here.

Volica je převážně rusínská obec na severovýchodním Slovensku v okrese Medzilaborce na hlavní silnici Humenné-Medzilaborce. Volica se nachází v Papínské brázdě Laborecké vrchoviny v údolí řeky Laborec. Území obce leží v mírně členitém až svahovitém terénu. Nad obcí je táhlý hřeben s vrholem Suchý Jedlovec 461 m n. m., kterým vedou "Petrovy stezky". Pod hřebenem je pramen kvalitní pitné vody i minerální pramen "vajcovky". Obec z druhé strany uzavírá hřeben Grúně, terý ji odděluje od obce Zbudská Belá. Samotná vesnice leží v nadmořské výšce 254 metrů nad mořem. Žije zde  obyvatel.

Dějiny

15. - 19. století
První doložená písemná zmínka o Volici je z roku 1405. Připomíná pod názvem Wolycha, v roce 1463 Wolycza, v roce 1773 jako Wolicza, později Volyica. V maďarštině se udávalo i pojmenování Ökröske. Od začátku obec patřila panství Michalovce, ale v roce 1448 byla podle záznamů zcela opuštěná. Po opětovném osídlení patřila Michalovská zemanským rodinám Csontos, Harkányi, Korosraz, Lasznay, Ödörsffy, Szeresvay a Izbudyayi.

V roce 1715 bylo ve Volici obydlených 8 poddanských domů.

V roce 1720 zde byl postaven mlýn a nacházela se zde i lisovna oleje z lněných a konopných semen, řepky, slunečnice a bukvic.

V době prvního sčítání lidu v roce 1787 měla obec 30 domů a 232 obyvatel. V roce 1828 to bylo již 40 domů a 311 obyvatel.

V roce 1796 byl nad vesnicí a hřbitovem postavený klasicistní řeckokatolický chrám - cerkev - Zesnutí přesvaté Bohorodice (rekonstruovaný byl v letech 1922, 1954 a 1996), vnitřní zařízení pochází z první poloviny 20. století. Dominantou interiéru je dřevěný vyřezávaný ikonostas.

Velký význam pro obec mělo vybudování železniční tratě Humenné - Medzilaborce v roce 1873, která ji spojila s blízkými městy.
Od roku 1890 se datuje existence protipožárního družstva, které existuje dodnes.

20. století - dnešek
V roce 1910 žilo ve Volici 305 lidí.
Od roku 1914 fungovala první řeckokatolická škola, učitelem byl pan Kerlik.
V době masové emigrace lidí za prací do ciziny začátkem 20. století se z obce odstěhovalo několik občanů do Belgie, Argentiny, USA a Kanady.

V roce 1940 se k trvalému pobytu v obci přihlásilo 442 obyvatel.

V roce 1944 bylo po těžkých bojích na hřbitově za kostelem pohřbeno několik desítek padlých německých vojáků. Jejich ostatky byly na přelomu 20. a 21. století převezeny do Německa.

Volica byla elektrifikována v roce 1957, obecní vodovod se uvedl do provozu v roce 1969. V tomto období byl zaznamenán i největší počet obyvatel, v roce 1961 zde žilo 549 občanů. Byla postavena škola, železobetonový most přes Laborec (v roce 2006 zrenovovaný), zavedl se obecní rozhlas a vyasfaltovaly se cesty. Od sedmdesátých let 20. století však stav obyvatelstva dostal klesající tendenci, která trvá dodnes.

V roce 1950 po násilném zrušení řeckokatolické církve se řeckokatolický chrám stal majetkem pravoslavné církve. Tento stav trval až do roku 1968, kdy byla oficiálně obnovena činnost řeckokatolické církve. Majetkový převod se neobešel bez provokací z jedné i druhé strany.

Historie organizovaného sportu ve Volici sahá do roku 1975. V poslední době se postavila budova TJ a fotbalová tribuna, která byla uvedena do provozu 16. července 2005 během oslav 600. výročí první písemné zmínky o obci.

V roce 2004 vznikla samostatná řeckokatolická farnost Volica vyčleněním z farnosti Zbudská Belá. Od roku 2005 je správcem farnosti d. p. Igor Pančák.

Zajímavosti
Zajímavostí místního hřbitova jsou hroby orientované pomníkem - hlavou - vpřed (opačně než bývá zvykem). Pozornost si zaslouží i malované hodiny na věži chrámu.

Místní zastávka lokální železnice  Humenné - Medzilaborce se nachází na druhé straně řeky Laborec a spojuje ji s obcí most pro pěší. Železnice pokračuje z Medzilaborců dále do Polska.

Severo-severo východně od obce je agroletiště a fotbalové hřiště s krytou tribunou. Kromě něj se ve vesnici nachází charakteristická hospoda a kulturní dům.

Na konci obce ve směru do Čabin je kaple.

V roce 1944 bylo po těžkých bojích na hřbitově za kostelem pohřbeno několik desítek padlých německých vojáků. Jejich ostatky byly na přelomu 20. a 21. století převezeny do Německa. Pozůstatky padlých vojáků byly odkryty i při výkopových pracích u budovy místního obchodu a pohostinství. S velkou pravděpodobností se další pozůstatky vojáků nacházejí neodkryté vedle této budovy po levé straně na louce (s odvoláním na přímé svědky).

Ve Volici žijí převážně Rusíni řeckokatolického vyznání. Patří do západnější nářečové skupiny tohoto jazyka, k tzv. Pijďakům (od slova "ja pijdu" (já půjdu), na rozdíl od tzv. Pujďaků "ja pujdu", kteří žijí východněji, především v okolí Sniny). Několik rodáků z této obce zastávalo, resp. zastává významné funkce. PhDr. Ivan Hopta, CSc., Byl poslancem NR SR v letech 2002 - 2006. PaedDr. Ivan Pajta je ředitelem Gymnázia v Humenném, Ján Hopta dlouhá léta působil jako vedoucí tajemník OV ČSZTV v Humenném, Mgr. Ladislav Mochnacký je sekretářem oblastního fotbalového svazu.

Turistika
Obec a její okolí nabízí široké možnosti aktivního alternativního odpočinku, který ocení především milovníci nekomerčního autentického folklóru. Volice a její okolí, jakož i celá Laborecká vrchovina jsou ideálními destinacemi pro vyznavače cykloturistiky.

V okolních lesích si na své určitě přijdou houbaři. Rostou zde všechny druhy hub, které mají rády mírné klimatické prostředí smíšeného a listnatého (převážně bukového) lesa.

Za pozornost stojí Muzeum moderního umění Andy Warhola, které se nachází v nedalekých Medzilaborcích.

Při návštěvě regionu kolem obce Volica třeba upozornit i na několik unikátních památek sakrální řeckokatolické architektury. Jde především o dřevěné chrámy, postavené bez použití hřebíků a o zříceniny "rusnáckého Devína" -monastýra v poutním místě Krásny Brod.

Řeka Laborec tekoucí vedle obce se dá sjíždět na malých lodích (kajak, kanoe) za předpokladu, že na vodočtu v Krásném Brodě je alespoň 70 cm nebo na vodočtu v Koškovcích alespoň 80 cm.

Q: nvd3 shows 0 values in tooltip on line chart for null values When I show tooltip from the section of values it shows all values including 0 values that don't appear on the graph.  Is there a way to remove these?

A: Sorry for the late response.
I just ran into the same problem than you and I have a fix for you in that case.
In nv.d3.js, in the contentGenerator variable, you will find thoses lines:
trowEnter.append("td")
    .classed("value",true)
    .html(function(p,i) {return valueFormatter(p.value,i)});

Change this paragraph for this:
trowEnter.append("td")
              .classed("value",true)
              .html(function(p,i) {
               if (p.value === null) {this.parentNode.style.display = "none";}
               return valueFormatter(p.value,i)
            });

It might not be the best way to do it, but it works for me when you pass null value in your data.

A: If you don't want 0 appear in the graph, you should remove it from dataset:
option1
If you want 0 appear in the graph, you could replace null with 0 in the dataset:
[1418757047000, null] -> [1418757047000, 0]

option2
I prefer option2, is it that you wanted?

94 gmc 1500 pickup with 5.0 , with key on/engine off or start up and when you shut it off there's a thumping noise by the heat blower for about half a minute , there's a small panel type thing facing down where you can feel it and is independent of the blower speed , any ideas what it could be ?
A picture would help but sounds like a AC Heater module door actuator.
Do you have all HVAC functions- defrost, vent, heat, also temp Hot to Cold....and recirculate/fresh air?
I will try to find and post a diagram to help you find the thumper.
the control panel doesn't like the cold ., Vent , def. heat selector and blower speed I leave on one setting because they may not respond and the new part is like $275**. Once I get the blower out I'll see what's going on , I have the glove box out , wrapped it up for the day and will have at it next opportunity , the ECM is next to come out but then I won't be able to drive it so it'll have to wait ,thanks .
Your problem is an actuator. Taking out the blower motor isn't going to help anything.
You just need o pinpoint which actuator it is by following the noise.
It'll go on and off (thumping) when you use the A/C or MAX buttons so it must be the door to allow outside air for the A/C as MAX closes this and uses cabin air from what I understand , it's not the blower but the noise originates from behind the blower motor and it looks like removing it will give you access . I'd like it to be closed for in the winter time but wonder if the vent option uses it for fresh air , when it rains in the summer and you need some fresh air with the windows up . Tomorrows work on cars day and I'll get a look at it again and see whats up , . Like I said it does stop after 30 seconds but I don't want to listen to it or leave like that .
Removing the blower motor isn't going to give you access. It's on the outside of the housing and probably not accessible without removing the dash. It shows 3.5 hours to change it. I think that dash rolls back.
Thanks again , if it takes time so be it as long as I can drive it . I always have my wife clean interior pieces , she does a great job .
excellent , only difference I see is the grill and what looks like 4 wheel drive .
? @ 28 seconds it shows the floor shifter for 4X4. That shouldn't matter for dash items?
Naw , I was just putting that out there , very helpful , everything behind the glove box and under neath looks the same , I still have to get to it though . Now I'm wondering if I even need that part , if I leave it out what could happen ? Codes ?
You won't be able to switch it from inside air (max ac) to fresh outside air.

Welcome to Profitable Preparedness! My name is Justin Davis and I am a late thirty something guy with an amazing wife and two terrific children. I work in sales for a wholesale food distribution company, and have recently began a new endeavor with my wife Crystal.
For well over a decade I was self employed and helped hundreds of entrepreneurs streamline their businesses, consistently grow their income, and most importantly find balance in life. My work always inspired me, because I loved helping people find true FREEDOM. I love helping people achieve their goals, and witness first hand the tangible impact our time together had on their lives. One of the most precious resources on the planet is time. We all have a finite supply, and I want to make sure that I spend my remaining time creating high quality memories with my family and helping as many people as I can do the same.
I was a boy scout as a young man, which set the stage for me to come up with a preparedness mindset from as far back as I can remember. Although I never considered myself a "prepper", I must admit that my first awareness of the prepping community came from "Doomsday Preppers". I never realized there was such a large population of the country that had the same mindset that I did. Honestly, Doomsday Preppers did more to repel me from that stigma than it did to attract me. I recall watching and cringing at points, because some of the episodes were so over the top.
I recall specifically an episode with Rick Austin and Survival Jane highlighting Rick's "Secret Garden of Preparedness", and it was eye opening. I was so fascinated with his process that my imagination ran wild.
Fast forward to my last birthday, and I had a bit of a moment of clarity. The only way that I can explain it is that it felt like blinders had been lifted. I have a lot to be thankful for, and I am truly blessed to have a loving wife who is my best friend, and children who are smart, healthy and a genuine pleasure to spend time with. But… Something was missing.
During the moment of clarity, I began to look at the hours that my career consumed and the stress that it created. I realized that I have zero guarantees of a comfortable and affluent "some day" that retirement would bring thanks to a crumbling social security system, non existent pensions and an out of control health insurance cost. I began to worry that all of the sacrifice that I was making regarding my health and quality of time spent with my family could all be in vain.
I was in my car on a normal work day when I stumbled across a podcast from Dale and Lisa Goodwin (www.survivalistprepper.net) discussing personal catastrophes that discussed the impact that a job loss, or significant illness could have on a household. It was the first time I ever listened to a podcast and the content hit me right between the eyes. It was also the first time that I realized that preparedness was not just natural disaster or societal collapse large scale events. A personal catastrophe could be something that simple or a multi day power outage due to an ice storm. I was not prepared.
I have this great family, and I was not doing a very good job of looking out for them or ensuring they would be taken care of if something like that happened to us.
My wife is not a prepper. She tries not to become consumed with politics, but she started getting a similar feeling at the same time. We put a plan in place to pay off debt, save as much money as possible and buy/start a homestead in Colorado in 2022. It takes a lot of time and planning to break out of the 9 to 5 debt fueled rat race and follow our dreams. We know it will not be easy, but we also know that it will be completely worth it.
We are going to document the process through our blogs and podcast all the way through. The good, the bad and the ugly.
My portion of the blog/podcast will focus on the skills that I have acquired over the decades of working with very successful business owners. Specifically, how to identify and analyze business opportunities, how to market and sell, how to navigate the real nuts and bolts of business ownership and how to do all that paying our fair share of taxes but not a red cent more.
I will occasionally discuss money saving ideas, ways to create and utilize a relationship with your local wholesale food distributor and break down what other businesses are doing well or horribly.
My wife has decided to create preparedness content focusing on creating a preparedness mindset for children in a fun and non threatening way. Starting with preparedness from infant to adulthood. She is also studying the benefit of medicinal herbs, and will have some tips and tricks to share in that area as well.
As I mentioned before, my wife is not a prepper and is just coming around to a preparedness mindset. So we need to make sure that any preparedness plans that we implement are balanced and not over the top. I could go extreme, but she keeps me grounded and I feel like our readers will appreciate the lifestyle friendly and freedom oriented strategies.
So, thank you for checking out Profitable Preparedness and we look forward to helping you anyway that we can. And remember, a full set of skills beats a full set of tools anyday.

10 Favourite Magazines
I seriously love magazines, and at any given time there's likely to be a huge stack of them by my bed. I don't own an iPad, but even if I did, I know I could never find it in my heart to read the digital versions. For me, reading a magazine is not just about the images and information--it's about the presentation, too. Glossy pages, perfume samples, the pleasing sight of a bookshelf lined with old copies...these are all things that electronic editions just can't give you. (Fun/creepy/weird fact: I can identify a magazine by the smell of its pages alone! And in case you're wondering, Glamour UK has the best-smelling pages).
In anticipation of the September issues (those weighty, 1000-page tomes that will be coming out in a week or so), I thought it would be fun to share 10 of my favourite magazines. They're probably all titles you've heard of, because I'm a mainstream kind of girl, but they're the ones I just find myself enjoying the most. (While those obscure, pretentious high-quality productions may be beautiful to look at, their content tends to make my eyes glaze over).
For a few of my favourites, I like reading both the US and UK editions. Because of my time spent in Ireland and England over the years, I have a fondness for the British editions, and I find it fascinating how the same magazine (Glamour, for example), can have a different feel to it based on where it's from. In general, the writing in UK magazines is more irreverent and self-deprecating, and the fashion more edgy and daring, while the US editions feature more earnest, motivational articles (lots of Sheryl Sandberg kind of stuff), and styles that are more wearable/professional. Having grown up with both cultures, I can appreciate both, and I like alternating my reading between them. What I really miss about magazines in Ireland and the UK are the free presents they come with! Every few months, all the major magazines will have some little freebie attached (like a nail polish or eyeliner, but from really good, Sephora-quality brands). Why can't they do that over here?!
In alphabetical (not preferential) order, here are my 10 favourite magazines:
Allure: This is one I just recently started reading. The focus is primarily on beauty (make-up, hair and the like) with a bit of fashion and health-related stuff thrown in.
Conde Nast Traveller: I like the UK version of this classic travel magazine (the one with two Ls!). It features slightly offbeat destinations that are luxurious but not ostentatious, and the writing is witty and clever.
Cosmopolitan (US & UK): Often portrayed as some sort of bible for ditzy airheads, Cosmo gets an unfair rap in my opinion. Sure it's not highbrow, but it's not all fluff: it regularly features articles about hard-hitting topics in a digestible manner, which I appreciate. Also, of all the magazines I read, it's probably the one that has me laughing the most, which has to be a good thing.
Domino: Published four times a year, this revamped home decor magazine is full of good-looking people with incredible homes. I'm not usually a subscriber to home-related magazines because, um, I don't own a home (much less the kind you buy $20, 000 rugs for), but Domino is just too beautiful and inspiring to pass up.
Elle (UK): Smart and funny; more sophisticated than Cosmo/Glamour, more down-to-earth than Vogue. I love the "My Life in Books" feature in which celebrities list the books that shaped their lives.
Glamour (US & UK): When it comes to women's lifestyle magazines, Glamour is queen. With inspiring features touching on every subject--from style and beauty to health and relationships--it's got all bases covered.
InStyle (UK & US): The magazine that makes fashion relatable, InStyle's glossy pages are crammed with the latest trends and how the average woman can wear them. I love the US edition's tear-out guides to combining colours.
Marie-Claire (UK): The perfect combination of style, beauty, culture, travel...and weird but interesting features (ie. they once had an article on young women's bedrooms around the world, consisting of a photo of the girl in her room with a quote. Random but fascinating).
People Style Watch: More youthful than InStyle, PSW is fun, unpretentious, and very celebrity-influenced (all winning attributes in my books).
Vogue (US): The big one! I must confess, I haven't always been the hugest fan of Vogue. I know some people have been reading it since they were toddlers, but it actually took me a while to get into it. I actually really love it now (reading it just feels like the ultimate in sophistication, right?!), and while I usually prefer the UK editions of magazines, I find that US Vogue has a sufficiently European vibe to it (probably due to the fact that the editor and many of its writers are Brits).
So what are your favourite magazines? And which can you not stand?! ;-) Let me know in the comments!

Dallas Stars' Rich Peverley Will Sit for Season After Collapse

Peverley Out for the Rest of the Season
http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/sports/Stars-Peverley-Will-Sit-For-Season-After-Collapse-249914031.html
Rich Peverley will not play again this season after collapsing on the bench during a game. Peverley appeared briefly at a news conference Wednesday, read a statement, then let doctors answer questions about his condition. (Published Wednesday, March 12, 2014)
Rich Peverley will not play again this season after collapsing on the bench during a game.
Whether the Dallas Stars forward resumes his career won't be known until after more extensive work evaluating his irregular heartbeat.
Peverley appeared briefly at a news conference Wednesday, reading nervously from a statement that thanked "the number of people that saved my life" after he went down in the first period of a game against Columbus, stunning players, coaches and fans.
Stars' Peverley Collapses on Bench During Game
The 31-year-old left the questions to doctors who said his season was over and he would undergo a procedure that he decided to put off when his condition was first discovered during a physical before training camp in September.
Dr. Robert Dimeff said Peverley was given the option of treating atrial fibrillation, the most common type of heart arrhythmia, with a minor adjustment and medication or missing several months to undergo a more invasive approach.
"He said, `I'm new to the team, it's a new coach, a new general manager, I only have a two-year contract, they've got to know that I can play,"' Dimeff said of Peverley, who came to the Stars in an offseason trade from the Boston Bruins. "And so we went back and forth. That was a joint decision, an informed decision on his part."
Dimeff said Peverley's heart likely raced out of control and then stopped during the game against Columbus on Monday night, but probably for no more than about 10 seconds before medical personnel got it going again in the tunnel behind the Dallas bench at American Airlines Center. The game was postponed.
The procedure Peverley skipped in September, called an ablation, will likely be performed within days.
When he walked out of the news conference at St. Paul University Hospital, Peverley could be seen wearing a device that a doctor later described as something that monitors his heart rate constantly and can automatically implement corrective measures if the heartbeat gets out of rhythm.
Peverley's Heart Undergoing Tests After Collapse
Peverley Hospitalized, Teammates Try to Regroup
Peverley remains hospitalized, but all heart tests have been normal, Dimeff said.
"The last couple of days have been a lot of anxiety, a lot of unknown," Stars general manager Jim Nill said. "It turns out that it's a great day to walk in here, to see Rich Peverley walking in here."
Dimeff said the question of whether it's safe for Peverley to play hockey again wasn't one they wanted to address yet.
Peverley was sidelined through the first game of the regular season after the condition was diagnosed, then played in 60 straight games before complaining of discomfort that caused him to miss a game at Columbus last week. He played in two more games before his collapse.

Алонсо де Охеда () (ок.1465 – 1515) е испански конкистадор, пътешественик-изследовател, един от първите завоеватели на Америка, както и първият значим испански откривател след Колумб.

Произход и младежки години (1466 – 1493)
Роден е около 1466 година в Куенка, Кастилия - Ла Манча, Испания. Произлиза от обедняло благородническо семейство. Започва кариерата си със служба при графовете на Медина-Сидония.

Участие във второто плаване на Христофор Колумб (1493 – 1496)
Благодарение на патронажа на Хуан Родригес де Фонсека, архиепископ на Бургос, Де Охеда се включва във втората експедиция на Христофор Колумб до Новия свят през 1493 г., в която се отличава в битките с туземците. Експедицията открива Малките Антилски острови, Пуерто Рико, Ямайка, южния бряг на Куба и завоюва Испаньола.

По време на пребиваването си на остров Хаити през 1494 г. пръв прониква в централните части на острова и открива златни находища и донася новината, че вътрешните части на острова са гъсто населени. Връща се в Испания в 1496 г.

Откриване северното крайбрежие на Венецуела (1499 – 1500)

След като през 1499 г. испанската корона премахва монопола на Колумб върху плаванията към "Западните Индии" Охеда организира собствена експедиция, финансирането на която най-вероятно е осъществено то флорентински банкери – това е възможната причина и за присъствието сред 60-те членове на екипажа на Америко Веспучи. Сред тях е и авторът на най-старата известна карта на Америка – космографът Хуан де ла Коса. Две каравели напускат пристанището на Кадис на 18 май 1499 и около средата на юни достигат до Южна Америка приблизително на 1000 км югоизточно от устието на Ориноко. Корабите завиват на северозапад и Охеда открива брега на Гвиана от 54º до 60º з.д. (делтата на Ориноко).

Експедицията продължава на запад брега на Венецуела от 66º до 72º 10` з.д. – нос Ла Вела. Открива залива Тристе (), остров Кюрасао (961 км2, ), остров Аруба (193 км2, ), п-ов Парагуана (9 август, ), Венецуелския залив (9 август), лагуната Маракайбо (24 август, ) и полуостров Гуахира (1 септември, ). В лагуната Маракайбо испанците откриват многолюдно индианско селище, построено във водата на колове, което наподобява Венеция и в тази връзка Охеда назовава целия залив Венецуела (на испански "Малка Венеция"), което название по-късно се разпространява на целия северен бряг на Южна Америка.

В средата на септември провизиите са на привършване и Охеда се отправя към остров Испаньола, където има спречкване с поддръжниците на Христофор Колумб. При връщането си в Испания през юли 1500 г. Охеда отвежда в Европа над 200 туземци, които пленява на Бахамските о-ви по време на наказателна операция и ги продава като роби, които в известна степен покриват разходите по експедицията.

Първа испанска колония в Южна Америка и смърт на Охеда (1502 – 1515)
В Испания Де Охеда организира нова експедиция, която тръгва от Кадис през 1502 и акостира на Американския континент на място, наречено Санта Крус. Тук експедицията основава колония, която обаче скоро е ликвидирана, тъй като е в нарушение на папската була разделяща света между Португалия и Испания. При завръщането си в Испания Де Охеда е осъден да плати голяма глоба, но при обжалването е оправдан.

Де Охеда отново заминава за Испаньола, където се намира Хуан де ла Коса. От там той моли правителството за разрешение за основаване на колония на материка между Кабо де Вела и залива Ураба. След получаването на разрешение се връща в Испания и организира третата си последна експедиция през 1509 г. с четири кораба и 300 моряци и войници. В експедицията му участва Франсиско Писаро, бъдещият покорител на Перу. Начело на флотилията, Охеда отплува от Испаньола, за да влезе във владение като губернатор на Нова Андалусия – територията между залива Ураба и полуостров Гуахира. Акостира в близост до мястото, на което днес се намира град Картахена със 70 души, за да залови индианци за роби. В разразилата се схватка с туземците испанците са избити, като се спасяват само Де Охеда и още един войник. Въпреки всичко Де Охеда получава подкрепления от Испаньола и през 1510 г. основава колонията Сан Себастиан. В новосъздадената колония липсват продоволствия и бойни припаси и сред испанците започва брожение. Охеда с жестоки мерки поддържа дисциплината: на един дворянин отсича главата; обикновените моряци и войници беси, жигосва с нажежено желязо, наказва с бой с камшици, реже езици и пръсти.

Част от робите и златото, заграбено от индианците, Охеда изпраща в Испаньола, за да получи помощ. В колонията обаче пристига само шайка пирати с кораб с малко провизии. След като обменя своите богатства за хранителни припаси, Охеда с пиратите се отправя за Куба, където тогава все още няма испански гарнизони. Боейки се от бесило, пиратите изоставят кораба и се прехвърлят на остров Ямайка, а Охеда с празни джобове пристига на Испаньола. Не му се удава да събере средства за нова експедиция и умира в пълна нищета на острова през 1515 г.

Хипотеза за български произход
Съществува хипотеза за българския произход на Алонсо де Охеда, която е напълно отхвърлена в сериозната българска историография. Хипотезата е развита от дипломата и любител историк Иван Димитров в няколко публикации през 80-те години и периодично се появява в жълтата преса оттогава насам. Според Димитров Де Охеда всъщност е Драган от Лихнида (Охрид), който кръщава с български топоними свои открития (според открита от самия Димитров карта) и по свое желание е погребан под прага на малка църква, "та всеки да тъпче един клетник, който не изпълнил дълга си към Отечеството".

Researchers warn further flaws may be found in NSW's iVote
Researchers have found a new vulnerability in a Swiss e-voting platform that could point to the existence of previously unknown security flaws in the iVote platform used by New South Wales.
NSW's iVote could face renewed scrutiny after Swiss sVote flaw revealed
A group of researchers has exposed a serious flaw in an Internet voting system developed by the same company behind a core component of New South Wales' e-voting software.
McAfee, think tank push online voting, but recognize security risks
The U.S. and other nations should look toward Internet voting to make it easier for disabled and elderly people to cast ballots, and to increase participation among young people, but online security remains a huge hurdle, according to a new paper for the Atlantic Council and McAfee.

BBC Watchdog: Ninety per cent of UK homes may never get advertised broadband speed
By Ben Griffin
Never get the broadband speed you are paying for? You are definitely not alone, according to a recent BBC Watchdog investigation.
BBC Watchdog found that 90 per cent of people in the UK are getting a speed below the top speed advertised, yet only nearly a third of people in the UK complain about it to their internet service provider (ISP).
There is perhaps a good reason why people fail to bother. Just one in ten saw a complaint result in a connection speed increase, with a 'similar' number of those who complained witnessing no difference whatsoever.
The BBC's Watchdog team asked 'selected families' across the UK to use a broadband speed tester to see how fast their connection really is. White boxes were also installed to test speeds several times a week, providing it with a snapshot of the problem.
Under-performing broadband speed is a problem for many households in the UK – and one that is unlikely to go away anytime soon. Current rules stipulate that an ISP can advertise a top speed if just 10 per cent of the population can actually receive it.
"Consumers should be getting the broadband speeds they are paying for and I want to make the nation aware of these 'up to' speed claims," Watchdog's Stephen McGovern said in a statement.
Research from Watchdog revealed 42 per cent of those aged 18 to 34 were getting a slower speed than they paid for. USwitch broadband expert Ewan Taylor said the problem goes beyond slow loading times.
"Slow broadband connection can have a real impact on peoples' lives," he commented. "Students might not be able to download coursework material, miss out (again) getting that Glastonbury ticket and be unable to stream the latest Black Mirror or whatever it is their friends are all watching. You can end up feeling really cut off."
There are ways to improve the situation. "Enhanced broadband speed can be achieved by a few simple steps, which can have a massive positive impact on our daily lives," McGovern added.
Tips include ensuring your router is off the ground, using an Ethernet cable to plug directly into your router (this can help with stability, too, as wireless routers can be unreliable at best) and using a range extender, although this will mean extra cost.
For complaining to your ISP, keep tabs of your speed over a period of a week using the likes of www.speedtest.net or Recombu's own speed test tool and take screenshots of the results. Try different times, too, for a bigger picture and use this evidence when contacting customer service. Keep cool throughout.
The full results of the investigation will be on the Watchdog show at 8pm on Wednesday the 9th of November, 2016 and then iPlayer.

To move forward with the design and construction of our downtown branch, we were required to wait for approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Our team has waited in anticipation for months.
We are now proud to announce the FDIC has approved our branch application! Now we can begin the design and planning process.
Our bank, first chartered as First National Bank of Ochiltree, grew with the expansion of the North Texas and Santa Fe Railway. From our humble beginnings in 1907 to our expansion throughout the greater Texas Panhandle, we're continuing to work on our mission to become the areas preferred community bank.
We are excited for the next step in our growth as a bank – offering our services in downtown Amarillo. As occupants of the tallest building between Fort Worth and Denver, we will provide convenient financial services to customers both new and old.
A partial view of the space before renovation.
FirstBank Southwest will occupy about 8,000 square feet, approximately half of the existing space on the ground floor, and use it to create a beautiful space for our customers and employees.
We will release more information about our design plans as we near our tentative move in date. Timelines can change quickly, so we cannot release a definitive open date. Our vision is for the branch to be open during the first half of 2019.
We will update you as we progress!


Let's get straight to the point here - the Volkswagen Golf SV (short for 'Sportsvan' which it was previously called) is a rather peculiar car, occupying an odd niche within the VW model lineup. Back when it was first introduced in 2013, the Sportsvan was positioned as a family-friendly compact MPV, a more practical alternative to the standard Golf hatchback.
Since then, there has been a clear and obvious explosion of SUVs in the market, and that is evident even within the VW lineup, with introduction of new models like the T-Cross and the T-Roc - all to satiate the increasing appetite for SUVs from customers.
Thus, the Sportsvan has always had limited success, evident in its sales figures. In Europe, it sold 59,356 units in 2014, less than the number of Golfs sold in just two months, and about the third of the number of Tiguans sold that year.
Fast forward to 2018, and the Golf SV has been refreshed in line with the rest of the Golf lineup. It enters the market very much with its back against the wall. The dropping of the 'Sportsvan' designation is a bid to reinvigorate the model's image - less 'van' and more 'Golf', as it were. Does it still have a place on our roads?
Summarily, the Golf SV has been refreshed with many of the same elements as the rest of the Golf range. On the outside, you get redesigned bumpers front and back, LED head lights, as well as roof rails fitted as standard. Inside, the most notable update is the 9.2-inch Discover Pro infotainment system in Highline trim (8.0-inch in Comfortline trim). There's also a massive sunroof to let light in. You will, however, notice that the dashboard is still the old analogue style one, instead of the new Active Info Display.
Safety equipment has also been updated, with the Golf SV now fitted with the latest generation proactive occupant protection system and blind spot monitoring system.
Everything else, which is a very good thing. The cabin is still entirely familiar, comfortable and well-laid out. The quality of materials used is good, and on the go the car is quiet and well-insulated from the outside world.
Power is drawn from the same 1.4-litre TSI engine, with 123bhp and 200Nm. It's perky and responsive enough for all manner of civic driving, and drivers will have no problems overtaking on the highway.
The ride is excellent, with the soft-ish suspension offering good amounts of comfort. That said, body roll is still kept well in check for a car its size. It also drives with a fair amount of precision and accuracy uncommon in this class, which we put down to the MQB chassis that it shares with the Golf hatch.
It also delivers on the practicality front. The 500-litre boot can be extended to 1,520 litres with the rear seats folded. There are folding tray tables behind the front seats, as well as multiple storage spaces for added stowage. Also, the rear seats can be adjusted 180mm forwards and backwards.
Look across the automotive landscape and you won't find many other cars in this particular compact MPV segment. The Golf SV, then, stands rather uniquely alone in delivering the familiarity of Golf, visually and dynamically, while offering added utility and practicality.
However, it's hard to escape the fact that the Golf SV is always going to be limited in its appeal. There's even a model within the Golf family that has a very similar brief of offering more space and practicality, in the shape of the Golf Variant.
The Golf SV is a very competent and accomplished car in its own right. It packs ample utility, practicality and space to cater to a family of five. It's comfortable and easy to drive, packs sufficient shove from the engine, and is an effortlessly easy car to live with. You could even argue that it's a halfway house between a hatchback and a full-on MPV.
The problem is that these days, halfway-house SUVs are everywhere. Halfway-house MPVs, not so much. It's a bit of a pity, because the SV is a very accomplished car in its own right, but victim to the changing demands and landscape of the automotive market.
Should you buy one? We say yes because it's quite attractively priced at $125,400 (as of 9 November 2018), just about halfway between the top-spec Golf and the Golf Variant. Does it still have a place on our roads? Right now, definitely. For what it sets out to do, the Golf SV does it well. If it fits the bill for you, you should definitely go ahead and buy it, because we're not sure if it will still be present in the model lineup once the new eighth generation Golf is launched.


CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A discrimination lawsuit against a south Charlotte mega church is growing, as six more families came forward after Channel 9's story about the suit aired in January.
They claim Calvary Church dismissed their children because of medical or developmental disorders.
The amended suit was filed Wednesday morning in Mecklenburg County. The lawsuit highlights allegations that Calvary Church and child development director Pat Collins discriminated against children with disabilities.
In January, two families claimed their sons were dismissed because of medical conditions.
Shaw said her 5-year-old son, Jax, has developmental delays and was removed from the Summer Fun Day Care because he was "special and needed extra help" that the school didn't have.
Liz Brundage claimed the school expelled her 4-year-old son, Carter, because they perceived he had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, known as ADHD.
She said her son was devastated.
"He would cry and ask me, 'Mommy, if I'm just a good boy, can I just go back to my old school?'" Brundage said.
The suit also claimed that another child, Noah, faced discrimination because part of his left leg was amputated just days after birth.
Because of the statute of limitations, the families of Noah and Hayes aren't listed as plaintiffs, but their attorney said it shows a pattern by the school and the director.
"We think it suggests that Pat Collins was actually barring the doors to disabled children that were trying to enroll," attorney Josh Van Kampen said.
Channel 9 spoke to attorneys for the church in January when the suit was first filed, and they had no comment. Channel 9 reached back out again Wednesday but have not heard back.
My clients have reviewed the allegations that have been made in the lawsuit that was filed by the Borjas and Dunning families on January 5, 2016.
Although filed with the court, the original complaint has yet to be served on the defendants as required by law. My clients have not yet been provided with a copy of the amended complaint which apparently was filed with the court on February 10th, and as such are not familiar with the allegations that have been made in this new filing. With respect to the allegations made in the original complaint, my clients strongly disagree with the allegations that have been made against them.
While I do not think it is appropriate to comment on pending litigation or to try disputes like this in the press, I can state that Calvary and Pat Collins will vigorously defend themselves against these unfounded allegations through the legal process.


We always said that we would live in the house for a few months at least before doing any work to it. We wanted to learn how the light would change in the rooms throughout the day, how we naturally began to use the space, where we tended to leave "stuff that has no home" (AKA crap). We were then going to design the room around this information.
So after saying this repeatedly, we were in the house less than a full week before we ripped half the wall paper off the living room walls, decided where we needed new plug sockets, and picked the wall colour. To be fair to us, we were ordering a new sofa with 8 weeks to wait. It seemed ludicrous to buy new furniture and set up the room, only to have to store it elsewhere when we did eventually redecorate. The room is empty so let's do it now. Sensible choice you say. Well in some ways yes. In others, not so much. The number one rule of renovating is to have a plan of what you're doing and stick to it. Changing your mind, or adding extras not only costs more money but it can seriously delay the job. Or cause you to have to redo areas that have already been done.
With all that being said, we massively rushed it. Most of our decisions didn't change, but we definitely added things to the list of what we wanted to do. It went from adding new plug sockets, plastering and painting, and treating the floorboards. To doing all that, while also redecorating the windows including repairs and replacing the putty, installing a new cast iron radiator and plastering the hallway while we have plasterers in. Not a huge amount of things to add, but it all adds on time. This should be starting to give you an idea of how redecorating took four months. In my mind It was "just painting some walls right?" If you've ever decorated a room that hasn't had anything done to it since the mid 1980's you will be laughing at me for ever thinking this room would take a few weekends.
So the electrics and plastering were done by professionals, so that should have only taken a couple of days, I thought. LOL! The electrician did half the job and then went on holiday for 3 weeks. We couldn't plaster until the electrician was done. When he got back from holiday it was another week before we could get him to come back. One month down, just on the electrics. The plasterers were a dream, they were in and out in half a day! Of course we then had to wait about a week for the plaster to dry before we could do the mist coat. Now at this point you're thinking so that's what 5/6 weeks. How did the rest take 3 months? To be honest I haven't a clue. Everything just takes so long, also we were only doing it at weekends, and we had weekends away and a week on holiday at one point. So mostly the delay was us. But even when we were working on it I couldn't believe how long things take. We also decided we wanted a cast iron radiator which meant having a plumber come and fit it, and we discovered the window was rotting in places, so my brother in law came up one weekend and carried out a huge repair, replacing sections of the window that couldn't be saved. So that made the list a bit longer.
Basically there is so much stuff you have to do to prep a room before you can do the fun bit, which is painting it the colour you want.
I can't tell you how many times I wanted to cut corners and do a bit of a botch job just to get the thing done, thankfully Ciaran is very good at not getting too frustrated with it all and taking the time needed to do it right. But after many, many, many tantrums from me (turns out for someone who is quite messy, mess makes me really stressed) we finally got the room finished. Well I say finished, there are still some bits and pieces we need to get like another lamp, a rug, some artwork etc, but we're pretty much there.
We have taken a break from house work, and are now making plans and getting quotes for the next project. It's been really lovely to just relax and enjoy the house. I adore the living room, every time I go in there it makes me so happy, and I loved getting it all Christmassy, the tree in the bay window looked amazing, I think this room might have been made for Christmas!
The guest room is the next project, I'll be sure to update you next year when it's finally finished. Just kidding! (I hope).


On a snowy Saturday morning, 50 DC residents of diverse backgrounds and skills gathered at the OpenGov Hub for the DC Vision Zero Hackathon, organized by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the OpenGov Hub.
The day-long event let curious residents and civic hackers play with large, rich new DDOT data sets - millions of newly released data points about traffic crashes, moving violations and parking violations in the last five years. By the end of the day, groups presented 7 different innovative tools that utilized the new information/data to encourage safer behavior from and safer streets for DC drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists alike.
Check out more photos from the event on our Flickr page here.
The morning began with remarks from different DC senior public officials and a representative from the OpenGov Hub. DDOT Director Leif Dormsjo discussed the importance of Vision Zero in DDOT's overall strategy, as the city strives to minimize traffic-related injuries and eliminate traffic-related fatalities in the District by 2024. Meanwhile, Deputy Mayor Kenner affirmed the great potential DC has to benefit from citizen input and analysis of wide swaths of transparent government data and information. Deputy Mayor Kenner then introduced DC's new CTO, Archana Vemulapalli, who shared her enthusiasm for serving the city in her new position and helping DC continue to be as a leading city in publishing and utilizing open data and information for government services and policies.
Each group broke up into a few sub-groups and spend the next several hours exploring, downloading, sorting, analyzing, interpreting, creating and finally presenting their tools and findings.
One group presented a helpful visualization of crash data by day of the week, showing what days and times accidents are most likely to occur. Another group presented a map showing both the geographical distribution and number of crashes over time, finding that the most dangerous areas surprisingly did not correlate with the areas where the most traffic tickets are given. A third group presented a prototyped way to provide cyclists real-time notifications about areas with recent bike incidents, to encourage more cautious and informed riding. Still another group presented a tool to simplify, visualize and make sense of vast amount of informations to present to busy senior officials, helping them make better informed decisions. And for pedestrians, one group presented an idea of crowdsourcing daily walking paths (especially pedestrian paths to/from home to/from their Metro or bus stop) to know when pedestrian safety may be most vulnerable.
And stay tuned for updates about strengthening transportation safety for all DC residents (@DCVisionZero), and more opportunities to develop new tools with data for safer cities and better public policies, locally here in DC and beyond (@OpenGovHub).

Subsequent to the launch of this brand new"snake-skin" Air Jordan 1 1 very low sooner this past week'd AJ11 fans all over the world abuzz, we finally possess a considerably more comprehensive look however in the snakeskin-swathed kicks, and advice about an discharge date too. Calling up on a cool-colored"Lighting Bone" shirt with modest black/red accents to get an pedestal, the shoe's major depth is of class its whole snake-skin mud-guard, including black, black, gray, and tan to get a desert-ready appearance.You've never been snakebitten in the event the colorway is apparently inherently recognizable possibly: there is certain parallels to be attracted together with a few of those snake-skin hightop Air Jordan 1-1 so Drake flexed on his own Insta-gram rear 2017. An carbonfiber midfoot plate along with simmer out sole subsequently arrive at around the design. All these 1 1 Lows have been put to discharge June 1 st using a heightened price line of 185 67146 -- thanks with their own superior quality -- thus delight in a very detailed on and also off-foot appearance under, and keep it secured right here for longer info/updates whilst the launch draws nearer.
Let us know in comments section below your thoughts on this colorway of the Air Jordan 11 Low SnakeSkin.


Before "America First" became a presidential buzzword in 2017, Charlie was already using it. In fact, we just found a box of CDB "America First" stickers which were produced about 10 years ago in a box in the CDB office, so we're putting them back in the web store! Stickers are 9.25 " x 2.5".


If you could invest one dollar and get $7 back, you'd probably jump on it, right?
That's why we at the Department of Conservation (DOC) are excited about the reactivation of a program that allows local entities to hire forest health watershed coordinators.
A "watershed" is an area where all the water running off the land drains into a specific body of water. Watersheds are everywhere, and they are all ultimately connected to the oceans. Activities that impact one watershed are likely to impact another one; problems like contaminated drinking water and soil erosion can affect many people, even people who are not near the original problem site.
Watershed protection involves monitoring water and runoff for contamination, ensuring adequate vegetation cover to prevent runoff, and monitoring fish, wildlife and plants for signs of stress. Watersheds are important because they provide us with water for drinking, cleaning, recreation, navigation, power, and manufacturing.
Watershed management is socially important because we are very dependent upon having a clean, well-functioning watershed where we live. Watershed managers make decisions that affect the environment and our health.
Benefits of a healthy forest are many; including reducing the possibility of catastrophic wildfires, clean air, clean water, and protecting wildlife habitat. Forested areas of California need someone to coordinate on the ground efforts and projects, which is where the Department of Conservation comes in.
DOC's Watershed Coordinator Program was active from 2000 to 2015. The coordinators facilitated collaborative efforts to improve and sustain the health of California's watersheds. An independent study indicated that for every dollar spent to hire watershed coordinators, seven dollars' worth of benefits were produced.
The Watershed Coordinator Program is back, with a new focus based on the state's Forest Carbon Plan and Executive Order B-5-218. It's critical for California to adapt to drought, fire, and other impacts of climate change. Protecting, restoring, and enhancing forest resources is a big part of preventing catastrophic fire and protecting water resources by preserving watershed capacity.
Forest health relies on local knowledge and management. It has been shown that local leadership – such as an on-the-ground coordinator – can help communities plan projects and leverage funds to achieve forest watershed health, especially in critical areas.
DOC's Watershed Coordinator Program will fund local capacity and provide training and expertise. The funds are dedicated for local entities to hire on-the-ground staff to work with landowners and communities to identify areas where forest health restoration projects are the most beneficial.
About $1.9 million is available to fund approximately eight coordinator positions for a two-year term. Applications are due February 15, 2019. Check our website for information about how to apply and more details about the program.

Buhari Inaugurates Lagos -Ibadan Railway Project
June 10, 2021	Comments Off on Buhari Inaugurates Lagos -Ibadan Railway Project 26 Views
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday inaugurated the commercial operations of the Lagos-Ibadan railway project at the Mobolaji Johnson Railway Station, Ebute Metta, Lagos.
Buhari described the project as another milestone in the drive of his Administration to revitalize the railway system and establish it as a choice mode of transportation for both passengers and freight.
He said the project will be ease the transportation of goods from the Apapa port Quayside to Ibadan and other parts of the country.
''This vital line establishes an end-to-end logistic supply chain in railway transport within its short corridor, Lagos – Ibadan, as goods to the hinterland would now be transported by rail directly from the Apapa port Quayside straight to the Inland Container Depot located in Ibadan from where it can be distributed to other parts of the country.
''In clear recognition of the challenges posed to our economic growth by absence of strong and effective infrastructure, we have in the rail sector, further to other ongoing railway infrastructure projects, embarked on the completion of the outstanding segment of the Lagos – Kano railway, which is Ibadan – Kano.
''The Lagos – Kano railway project when completed will link the Kano – Maradi line at Kano and a rail link from the Nigeria southern ports of Lagos to Maradi in Niger Republic will be achieved.
''The connection through rail would position Nigerian ports as the choice for import and export business of the people of landlocked Niger Republic.
''This would be beneficial to the economy through employment from new business opportunities and wealth creation.''
The President expressed delight that his directive to the Federal Ministry of Transportation and Ministry of Finance on reaching financial agreements with appropriate co-financiers to partner with the Federal Government for the development of the Ibadan – Kano railway was yielding results.
He noted that Ibadan-Kano project would have a connection to the Tin Can Island port as well as the West – East Coastal rail line from Lagos to Calabar linking Onitsha, Benin, Warri, Yenagoa, Port Harcourt, Aba and Uyo.
''From the beginning of this administration, railway infrastructure development has been given the priority it deserves and various milestones have been reached, right from when the Abuja – Kaduna railway was flagged-off for commercial operation in 2016 to this Lagos – Ibadan railway project being commissioned today for full commercial operation,'' he said.
