The 4-1 Hornets are off to one of their best starts ever with wins over Simpson College, UC-Davis, Cal St. Fullerton, and a 20 point win over CSUN a week ago. Their loan loss was at UCSB, and their game at Cal Poly was cancelled due to the Camp Fire.
#219 Sacramento St. is not too dissimilar to PSU in that they can score, they put up 87 and 88 points in their last two wins, but it’s their pressure defense that has also shined thus far. The Hornets currently rank among the nation's top 20 teams in 3-point field goal percentage defense (10th, .258), steals per game (12th, 9.6) and turnovers forced per game (19th, 17.9).
#264 UP handled PSU’s pressure pretty well in their loss on Wednesday, but as everyone knows, they often couldn’t find the basket and had no concept of blocking-out their opponents when attempting to rebound. UP is still without their two projected starters, Jacob and Crisshawn, as both await medical clearance.
UP students are just coming out of “dead week” and Fall Term finals begin on Monday. Regardless of how much uninterrupted practice the team gets next week, Rashad Jackson is expected to graduate on Friday and Xavier Hallinan, who will graduate in May, is expected to be eligible to play on Saturday.
Has UP ever won a game after dead week?
New topic! Why did they change the platform Pilot sports had before? This new venue is much more difficult to garner stories, stats and almost anything else. Can anyone say why this an easiee and more informational setting?

Haha, my memory only goes back a few years, but it was just three years ago UP beat Sacramento St., and last year they beat San Jose St at the end of Dead Week. Two years ago, they were supposed to travel to Boise St, but I think there was freezing fog that didn't allow the Pilots to travel by air or ground.
My question is, what do the UP students get up to during dead week these days? There used to be a prohibition against professors giving new work, but there was not a prohibition against quizzes and tests. It’s probably still is a very stressful week of projects and papers and studying for next week's finals, but what else?
In the 60's there was an attempt, or two, to rally everyone to run naked through the library to relieve stress like they did at Yale and Cal, but as I recall, when the Dean of Students got wind of it, everyone was warned they would be permanently expelled if caught participating. And as it was during the Vietnam War, and men over 18 would be drafted into the Army if not in school, the plan fizzled before it got started, thankfully.
When this team’s big three of Walker, Shaver, and Hogland get going, look out!!!

At Yale and Cal and where I went we knew the administration would have no jobs without students.
And we wore Zoro masks.
Victory was a nice relief after the Timbers match.

The Pilots did some good things to counter Sac. State's strengths. They focused on scoring inside, and only took 12 3-point shots. And they hit 8 of them, very effective. The Hornets did get 11 steals, and the Pilots committed 23(!) turnovers, not all forced. They really struggled at the free throw line, only hitting 15 of 27 tries. And playing in catch-up mode late, they threw up a lot of 3P shots, but only hit 4 of 19. Meanwhile the Pilots hit 18 of their 34 2-point shots (53%), and outrebounded the Hornets 39 to 34. The game did open with a couple Hornet offensive rebounds for scores, and they got 14 total OREB, but while visions of the PSU debacle danced in our heads, the Pilots toughened up and began rebounding better.
Wasn’t able to watch this one but I noticed that Akwuba and Diabate both started. I don’t recall seeing the Pilots with two bigs at all this year up until yesterday...nice to see them try something different and get rewarded for it.
Going big after what PSU did to the Pilots on the boards seemed appropriate.

Coach Geving before the game and Coach Cantu after the game said the game plan and starting lineup was to give the Pilots the size advantage to "pound it inside" against the Hornets.
It was definitely a team effort with JoJo and Marcus showing more maturity than past games, and Hugh finally showing some aggressiveness, something the coaches have been trying to get him to do since he arrived last year. I don't think there is any doubt it helped him to redshirt a year and play against Phil everyday, and now play against D and Theo in practice.
Tyler also said the starting lineup will generally be dictated by matchups against opponents going forward, and the game plan against PSU worked, except the Pilots couldn't hit their shots and the Vikings shot much better than previously even with tight defense.
IMO, last night's game against the Hornets was similar to the PSU game, but the roles were reversed, the Pilots hit their shots (56.5), and the Hornets didn't (35.3%).
A lot of those 23 turnovers came late when Sac State was pressing and harassing, and IMO it would really have helped during that part of the game to have Malcolm or Brian, or starting next game, Xavier filling a third guard spot instead of Franklin.
Most of the team's academic finals are early in the week, and starting Tuesday they will practice at their normal time in preparation for the rest of the preseason.

The problem is that in those late game situations, it is critical that the ball handlers be able to make their free throws (cue Bill Schonley). The only players exceeding 70% on FTs this year are Josh (91%), Hugh (90%, missed his first last night, 9-10), Marcus (78%, was 86% last year), and JoJo (71%). Franklin did shoot 75% last year, but he's only 68% this year. Malcolm is not consistent at the FT line, and Brian does not have enough attempts to evaluate his reliability in the clutch. Xavier did shoot 71% two year ago, with limited attempts (10-14).
It would be nice if the Porter boys could exceed their dad's FT stats (84% over 17 NBA seasons).
- Hugh Hogland. Yes! More of that, please. He has some skills scoring down low, with both hands. I hope he gets more minutes.
- Shooting. We shot a good percentage, in part because we were taking good shots. Good ball movement and shot selection.
- No early-second-half run by the opposition. As noted by others, that has killed us in earlier games. It didn't happen on Saturday.
- Found a way to win without any offense from McSwiggan.
- We still gave up way too many easy offensive rebounds. I'd like to see the following starting line-up: Walker, Shaver, F. Porter, Diabate, Hogland. Give Porter a defensive rebounding assignment. Coach him to prioritize crashing the glass so that we have three tough, strong guys going for every board, with Walker and Shaver leaking out to start the fast break.
- Akwuba, M. Porter and McSwiggan come off the bench. We all had hopes that McSwiggan would be a Kevin Bailey-esque player -- someone who is an all-around, consistent offensive threat. I think it is becoming clear that he's more like a D'Marques Tyson. Effective as a 6th-man coming off the bench to shoot some threes and keep the defense honest. Down low, I think Diabate and Hogland provide the most balance of offense, defense and rebounding. Cycle Akwuba in as needed. He's going to be great in the coming years.
McSwiggan is still averaging 14 ppg. He's had two clunkers, last Saturday and CSUN. He scored 22 against Colorado. He is averaging 5.73 rebounds per 40 minutes played. Franklin is averaging 6.04 rebounds per 40 minutes played. Statistically they are pretty even in most categories, other than scoring (Franklin is at 8 ppg). Not sure I'd give up on Josh yet. But I did like the ball movement from Franklin against Sac. St.
Things will get shook up anyway when Tryon gets back in the rotation, if he can consistently hit from outside, and rebound on defense.
McSwiggan, if shooting well, merits playing time; if not shooting well, he does not add much. Nobody suggested giving up on the young man, just sitting him when his shot is off. Let others have some time on the court, perhaps to avoid being muscled on the boards. I appreciate the comparison to Tyson, but I think Tyson was a more consistent shooter.
That said, when Josh is shooting well, no doubt about his ability to contribute.

From cheating accountants to revenue games, learn how to recognize the loopholes a company is using before you invest your money and reputation.
It’s worth repeating: Flexibility, the great virtue of most accounting systems as practiced in most of the developed world, is also those systems' weak point. Thanks to their flexibility, most accounting systems can measure the financial impact of a wide variety of transactions, from the simplest retail exchange of cash for physical goods to complex trades of intangible assets whose value and useful life are uncertain. But where there is flexibility, there is also ambiguity, and where there is ambiguity, there is the opportunity for managers to abuse the accounting system.
In honest hands, most accounting systems are up to the job of providing a reasonably accurate rendering of a business’s financial performance. Accuracy, however, is not always the aim of those who manage a corporation or stand to gain from cooperating with management, be they board members or outside accountants, analysts or investment bankers. All may have an interest in manipulating the accounting system to produce a misleading, distorted, or downright fictional portrayal of a business’s health and prospects. And when the manipulation starts, it usually starts with the recognition of revenue (also called turnover or sales). Of the 720 restatements of earnings from 1997 to 2000 in the United States, 376—more than half—involved methods of revenue recognition. Restatements to correct improper revenue-recognition methods were reported by 183 non-computer-manufacturing companies, 116 software businesses, and 77 computer-manufacturing firms. As cheaters like to say, everybody does it.
The restatements were necessary because the original financial reports fell afoul of at least one of the two basic requirements of revenue recognition. First, the revenue must be “earned,” which is generally understood to mean that the sales process is complete. In the case of goods, legal title has been, or is on the verge of being, transferred to a willing buyer. In the case of services, the service in question has been rendered. The second requirement is that the seller has to be reasonably certain of collecting the money publicly claimed (or, in accounting parlance, recognized) as revenue. The history of accounting chicanery is in large part a history of many attempts—some of them more ingenious than others—to evade those two requirements.
One of the simplest revenue recognition games is also one of the most common. Essentially, it’s an attempt to dodge a rule known to every first-year accounting student: Goods shipped on consignment cannot be booked as revenue. Neither condition of revenue recognition has been fulfilled—ownership and its attendant risks have not been transferred, and since the goods might not even be sold, there can be no certainty of getting paid. But those strictures haven’t stopped some managers from using consigned goods to fatten the top line—that is, the revenue line—of the corporate income statement.
Sunbeam, the appliance maker run into the ground by Albert “Chainsaw Al” Dunlap, shipped barbecue grills to retailers during the fall and winter of 1996–97, even though consumer demand for outdoor cooking equipment is a strictly warm-weather phenomenon. To induce retailers to go along with the scheme, Sunbeam allowed them to defer payment until they had sold the grills. They were also assured they could return any unsold goods. As a final fillip, Sunbeam picked up the tab for the warehouses where the grills were stored for the winter. In short, the grills were sold on consignment. Nonetheless, Sunbeam accounted for them as if they had been sold in the last quarter of 1997.
Sunbeam’s exertions, known generically as “channel stuffing” (in this game, a company stuffs its distribution channels with merchandise, which it then claims to have sold) added $71 million to the company’s 1997 profits. The company later had to restate those amounts after Dunlap resigned from Sunbeam under pressure from the board of directors. In September 2002, Dunlap agreed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that he would never again serve as officer or director of another public company and paid $500,000 to settle the government’s civil case against him. He also paid $15 million to settle a shareholder class action. As is usual in such cases, Dunlap settled without admitting or denying guilt, but had the charges against Chainsaw Al gone to trial, he might have faced much stiffer penalties, given the current climate of revulsion from CEO excesses.
Financially ailing, suffering from years of mismanagement, Sunbeam fits the stereotype of the sort of company that would resort to a crude scheme like channel stuffing. But even apparently healthy, well-managed companies such as BristolMyers Squibb have been caught at the same game. In 2000 and 2001, the pharmaceuticals giant boosted sales by offering discounts to wholesalers to purchase more drugs than patients needed. In the first quarter of 2002, when those wholesalers stopped building up inventory, BristolMyers Squibb’s sales plummeted. In October 2002, the company restated its 2000 and 2001 results, a move that affected more than $2 billion in revenue.
Other revenue-recognition games are far more sophisticated than those played by Sunbeam and BristolMyers Squibb. Some are downright elegant. But the difference between channel stuffing and fancier methods of prematurely recognizing revenue is one of degree, not of kind. At bottom, most revenue-recognition games are variations on a few simple themes.
Companies often attempt to pass off revenue-recognition games as mere differences of opinion. Accounting, they say, is full of judgment calls, and management, far from trying to inflate revenue, is merely making a judgment about which reasonable people can disagree. It is true that, in some transactions, the moment when revenue has been earned cannot be fixed with precision. Because the consequences of management’s decisions about revenue recognition can be so enormous, though, managerial protestations of pure intentions sound more than a little disingenuous. One set of managerial decisions can result in revenue reports that suggest high growth and strong customer demand—the sort of reports that encourage bankers to continue lending and investors to bid up the shares of the company doing the reporting. Another set of decisions yields a revenue figure that suggests slow growth, grudging customer acceptance, dubious future prospects. The latter set may send investors a more accurate signal about the future of the business, but how many managers are going to opt for accuracy over optimism, especially when their compensation consists mainly of stock and stock options, which grow more valuable as the stock price increases?
That’s why it’s so important to know a company’s revenue-recognition policies. For example, how does a company recognize revenue when a customer takes delivery of a product but makes payments on it over several years? One approach is to consider all of the revenue as earned when the product is delivered. But a more prudent approach is to consider such things as the costs of servicing and supporting the product. Are they incurred all at once, or are they spread out over the life of the product, so that they should be matched against the stream of customer payments? And what of the customer’s ability to meet its long-term commitments? How should a software company treat a ten-year agreement to provide e-business support to a client that is burning through millions of dollars a quarter and has no product on the market, much less revenue on its income statement? In the late 1990s, many suppliers treated such agreements as sure things and booked the revenue as if ten years’ contract payments had already been collected. To a large extent, the collapse in stock prices after March 2000 represented the belated recognition by corporations and their shareholders that much of the revenue so confidently booked during the boom times would never materialize.
In addition to deciding when to recognize revenue, managers have discretion to define what to designate as revenue. Suppose an auction business sells an item for $100. Of that amount, $5 goes to the auctioneer as commission. On its financial statements, should the auctioneer include the total amount of the sale as revenue and call the $95 payment to the item’s original owner an expense? Or should it count only the commission as revenue and show no expense? Most accountants would prefer to treat only the commission as revenue. The auctioneer is merely a conduit for the payment from buyer to seller; the money it passes to the seller doesn’t come from its own pocket. All the same, some Internet companies, recognizing the importance investors place on sales growth, took advantage of ambiguities in U.S. accounting rules to treat the gross proceeds of auctions as revenue, a procedure known as grossing up.
Companies get away with grossing up because there are instances where claiming the gross proceeds of a sale as revenue is perfectly reasonable and justified. The existence of a legitimate precedent creates a penumbra of “reasonable doubt” around more aggressive accounting moves. Suppose Dell Corporation sells, as a component of one of its PCs, a computer monitor it purchased from an independent manufacturer. Does it recognize as revenue only its gross profit margin—the difference between what it pays for the monitor and what it charges its customer? Or does it recognize the price of the complete PC as revenue, treating the cost of the monitor as an expense, just as Ford recognizes the full price of a car as revenue and counts as expenses the costs of the parts it purchases from outside suppliers? In such a case, Dell recognizes the full price of the monitor, and rightly so. But what if Dell were to arrange—as it often does—for the monitor to be shipped directly from the manufacturer to the customer? Should Dell include the monitor’s selling price in its revenue, or only Dell’s cut? In other words, should Dell’s sales figures suffer just because of an efficient logistics arrangement? Or should the decision hinge on a legal question, such as who would be responsible if the goods were damaged in shipping? Dell has resolved the ambiguity by recognizing the gross proceeds of the transaction as revenue, since its money and reputation are at risk if the product is damaged in shipping or fails to perform as advertised. That’s a far cry from an auctioneer laying claim to money that it merely funnels, risk free, from one side of a transaction to another.
Grossing up was one of the dubious accounting practices that became almost routine during the Internet boom, and no company indulged in it more enthusiastically—or controversially—than Priceline.com, the company that invited customers to “name your own price” for airline tickets, hotel rooms, and rental cars. In a 2000 quarterly filing, the company reported revenue of $152 million. Priceline arrived at that figure by grossing up—summing the full amount customers paid for those tickets, rooms, and cars. Like any travel agency, though, the company kept only a small portion of gross bookings—the spread between the customers’ accepted bids and the price it paid to travel and lodging providers. In Priceline’s case, that spread was $18 million, meaning that it claimed $134 million in revenue that it actually passed on to various providers, booking the payments as expenses.
Priceline’s accounting policy prompted skeptical questioning from the SEC and some stock analysts. Yet Priceline persisted. Why? Perhaps Priceline’s senior managers actually believed their public pronouncements that as “merchant of record” the company assumed all the risks of ownership. But there is another possible explanation: the rewards that were lavished on companies reporting rapid revenue growth during the Internet boom. Investors paid stratospheric prices for the shares of companies that had never recorded a profit and weren’t likely to do so in the foreseeable future. To justify this evident folly, many investors took to valuing Internet companies on the basis of their sales, theorizing that “critical mass”—a large customer base—was more important than profit. Grossing up was a cheap and easy way of showing sales growth. The few skeptics who complained that Priceline’s grossed-up revenue reports wildly overstated the company’s performance were told they “didn’t get” the New Economy.
Grossing up is not a practice exclusive to Web merchants. In 1999, Professional Detailing, a New Jersey–based firm that recruits and manages sales personnel for drug companies, started counting as revenue the reimbursements it received from clients for placing help-wanted ads. In serving as a conduit between its clients and the newspapers and other media where the ads were placed, Professional Detailing was no different from an advertising agency that uses client funds to buy television ad time. No advertising firm would count the client funds as revenue—the agency is only a way station for the money, not its destination. Similarly, Professional Detailing had no legitimate rationale for treating as revenue the want-ad reimbursements from its clients. Its auditors demanded that the company restate its 1999 results and report 5 percent less revenue than originally claimed. In less than a month after the restatement, Professional Detailing’s share price fell 31 percent.
Edison Schools, the ostensibly for-profit education company that has never made a profit, played a similar game with a contract to run the Philadelphia public school system. Edison booked $30 million in revenue from that contract, even though the company paid $21.3 million of the total straight out to teachers and other school personnel. To potential sources of finance to the money-losing company, revenue of $30 million gives a far more favorable impression of the company’s health and prospects than the more reasonable and accurate revenue figure of $8.7 million ($30 million less $21.3 million).
Of course, no discussion of grossing up would be complete without mentioning Enron, which treated as revenue the entire amount of the energy contracts it traded. As a result, Enron slotted in as fifth largest U.S. corporation on the 2001 Fortune 500 (published in 2002), with $139 billion in revenue, even though it had recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. If Merrill Lynch, number 36 on the Fortune ranking, had grossed up all the securities transactions it handled for customers in 2001, it would have reported revenue in the trillions of dollars—enough, obviously, to move Merrill to the number one spot.

Thomas Bühner has been one of Germany’s top chefs for more than twenty years. Born in Riesenbeck (North Rhine-Westphalia) in 1962 to a housewife and a commercial clerk, his first experiences of the restaurant trade came in his grandparents’ pub where there was always a slice of freshly baked mixed-grain bread spread with butter and topped with Westphalian ham waiting for him as he came through the door and where he would fall asleep in the evening to the chatter of customers and the sound of people clattering around in the kitchen. Nevertheless, it was a long time before the young Bühner knew what he wanted to do when he left school. While his twin brother decided to become a joiner, the results of an aptitude test at the local job centre suggested that Thomas was best suited to being either a cook, a baker or a farmer. He settled on becoming a cook, and even at that early stage he informed his parents that “if I’m going to be a cook then I’m going to be a good one”, a principle to which he remains true to this day. He trained as a chef at the Schweizer Haus in Paderborn, and this was followed by stints at the Düsseldorf Hilton under Günter Scherrer, the Landhaus Scherrer in Hamburg, the Grand Cru Restaurant in Lippstadt and the Restaurant Jörg Müller in Westerland on the island of Sylt.
Then, in 1989, Bühner moved to Baiersbronn to take up a post as Chef de Partie at Harald Wohlfahrt’s Schwarzwaldstube. He sees this as a key moment in his career, since in addition to the discipline and consistency that are essential for any successful chef, Bühner was particularly intrigued by the down-to-earth attitude and humaneness that Wohlfahrt showed towards the people who worked for him on a daily basis. He couldn’t have been better prepared to take up the position of Chef at the La Table Restaurant in Dortmund in 1991 where he gained his first Michelin star five years later, followed by a second one in 1998. In 2001, Bühner scooped the Gault Millau “Rising Star of the Year” award and was voted “Chef of the Year” just five years later. Together with Thayarni Kanagaratnam he has been running Restaurant la vie in Osnabrück since April 2006. In 2009, Thomas Bühner received the accolade of becoming a Relais & Chateaux “Grand Chef”, while the la vie was granted membership of “Les Grandes Tables du Monde” at the beginning of 2010. In 2012, Thomas Buehner was awarded with his 3rd Michelin Star and his now one of only ten German chefs who has three stars.

A few weeks ago, Kim from Today’s Creative Life blog invited me to participate as a guest blogger in her Celebrate Summer Series. Since July was computer organization month over here on my blog (in the Organize and Refine Your Home Challenge), I decided to create some super cute summer themed desktop wallpapers for her audience.
But I didn’t want my peeps to miss out on these digital organizing goodies, so I’m sharing them with y’all here today!
Last month, I introduced this simple, yet brilliant solution for controlling computer desktop clutter…a wallpaper that’s designed to categorize your files by type. Once uploaded to your computer, all you need to do is move your computer icons to the appropriate area on your desktop.
As you probably remember from my previous post on computer desktop organization, I recommend cleaning up your desktop on a weekly basis. If you’re like me, you’re more inspired to tackle mundane tasks such as computer desktop organization when there’s some “pretty” involved. That’s why I love these summer-inspired desktop organizing wallpapers so much!
Both the watermelon theme and the popsicle theme wallpapers are available with and without category labels so that you have the option to customize them to fit your needs. You can add your own category labels using a free program such as PicMonkey.
For each wallpaper, simply click on the link below the image to download it to your desktop. Once it’s downloaded, you’ll need to set the image as your desktop wallpaper. If you’re a Mac user, save the wallpapers to your Pictures folder, then right click anywhere on your desktop, select the “Change Desktop Background” option, then select the downloaded wallpaper).
These are great! Such a neat and easy way to keep things visually organized. Thanks so much for the free download and for sharing at our Tips & Tricks Link Party!
You’re so welcome and thanks for stopping by the blog Jessica!

2017 Review: I’ve been painting for 10 years and wish I had found Johannes when I first started. It would have saved me thousands of dollars and needless aggravation. I do have a commercial arts degree but that was all drawing no painting. I am retired from the Chicago Tribune newspaper as an ad creator.
Even though we’ve never met in person, Johannes is the best art teacher I’ve ever had. He excels in explaining a concept verbally, then showing visual examples of it. I have learned more information, more completely, from him than from the art classes I took in college. Much cheaper, too! My confidence has improved dramatically when facing a blank canvas and so has my work–all because of these classes. I recommend everything he has produced; it’s much less expensive than one or two college classes, with much more info included. I’ve read art books for years. This takes learning to the next level and is value priced as well.
I started painting a couple of years ago and was floundering. I never took “serious” art classes and was going the community education route. Then I stumbled onto North Light and Johannes Vloothuis’ internet classes last winter. I can’t tell you how much they have improved my painting skills! I am more confident about mixing color, designing stronger compositions and have grown a lot as an artist. Not only does Johannes show you how to paint, he also critiques student’s work. So you get to see many different painting style and learn from them. Thank you, North Light and Johannes, for producing this outstanding series. I now have purchased all of them!
Reach for green to paint grass, white to paint snow, with the rather horrid results you would expect. After study with Johannes in this series, I now understand, green and white are the last colors you reach for, the results have been remarkable!!
You can rely on Johannes to give you money’s worth. His teaching style is excellent and to the point. You will not find a better bang for your buck in art instruction. In a focus class such as this he is actually taking an in depth approach on the focused subject matter. I’ve had a lot of teachers over many years–Johannes is top notch.
I became addicted and I purchased all in this series with no disappointment whatsoever. Johannes is a very articulate and knowledgeable art teacher and he really cares about his students. He holds nothing back and he will help you take your painting to a higher level than where you start and if you keep his “golden nuggets” in your thoughts while you paint your paintings will improve. You will not be sorry for taking this entire series.
I have the entire recorded series of Painting Landscapes from Photos, as I followed these lessons live with Johannes as they were being recorded. He is a wonderful teacher. I learned more from Johannes’ lessons than I had gained from thirty -plus years of attending art schools, workshops, demos, videos, etc. If you want to learn how to paint landscapes, these recordings are where it will happen. You will not be disappointed. The current reduced price is like stealing this knowledge.
As a buyer of all of the available videos by Johannes, I must say that these are by far and away the best art lessons and best value I’ve found anywhere, be it books, videos, workshops or formal classes. In a way, it’s unfortunate that “painting” is in the title, because his teaching can benefit any genre. He is one of the very rare teachers whose genuine caring and enthusiasm shine through. It has been a joy to watch and learn from this master.
I have taken Johannes’s online class for 5 years. He is the best teacher, great Artist, and loves to teach. Teaches in a language that even a begging artist can understand. I learned more from him the first class I took than I did from the many workshops I had taken in the past. We begged him to write a book and he finally did. This is all you will need to become a great artist. All you need to know is in this book. It is a treasure.
Easy to understand explanations, exceptional illustrations for each topic, and the very recognizable artistic wisdom of Johannes Vloothuis make this a must have for the art library of both beginners and professionals. Don’t let the price fool you–it’s worth its weight in gold. I wonder how many hours of frustration I would have saved if I had found this before I ever picked up a paint brush.
I have enjoyed every class i have taken by Joe. This has been a period of 6 years. Each time he re-enforces points needed to become a better artist. There is not a class that has gone by that i did not learn something new. It is like being in the room with him as he paints. He answers questions and does 3 different mediums. One week is oils, one week is pastels and one week water color. I paint along in oils but watching him do water color has peaked my interest to try. His teaching is not complicated but very easy to understand. As a senior its getting harder to grab details. So it is nice i can get the download and go back over things he has said and done with each painting. YOU WILL NOT be disappointed no matter what level of art you are. Beginner to pro he covers it all. He will critic your work too. There is a great support group to back him up.
This book contains so many golden nuggets of information to take your paintings to a whole new level. If you are a beginner or a seasoned artist, you will find this book a great addition to your studio.
So many good tips. I like the book and would recommend to anyone loving Art.
I have been watching his instruction online and in videos for some time, and this book reinforces, reminds, and provides reference points that back up his instruction. Using his chapter titles, you can make a quick checklist to judge your work in progress. He cuts right to the elements that make or break a painting.
Johannes is a great instructor and his book also gives some of the secrets of landscape painting.
Anything by Johannes is wonderful! Have watched some of his free online classes and downloaded a lot of his classes. Finally decided I needed one of his books since I wanted something “physical” to look at and refer to w/o having to get on computer and bring up a download. I have been a BIG fan of his since I first discovered his classes. He makes everything seem so simple and does a wonderful job of explaining and showing how to do something, and in 4 different mediums instead of just one. Love this book, or anything of his.
Excellent tips and veryuseful. Thanks.
All the essential information you need to remember the keys to good design in your paintings. If you have been painting awhile sometimes you just need a reminder and this book does it for me. Just scan the pages and the solution to that nagging problem of “what is it that is not working with this painting?” will become clear.
Don’t like your painting? Can’t figure out what’s wrong with your landscape effort? This is the book for you! Johannes takes you by the hand and leads you through a myriad of techniques, strategies and lessons that can do nothing but help you along the way. I have taken almost all of his online lessons and my art work has improved by leaps and bounds. A purchase you won’t regret.
This book has what you need to paint wonderful landscapes.
I have been taking on line classes from Johannes now for about 4 years. My painting has improved in leaps and bounds. Over the years I had taken many many notes of the 100’s of tips and important things he was teaching to his students which all helped to take your paintiings to the next level. However, my notes were never well organized and it took me forever to find a key point to check when I needed it. This book provides much of this same information but it is so well organized, easy to follow and very thorough. Plus all of the eye candy in his wonderful photos and paintings helps to not only read a concept but actually ‘see’ it. It is a truly wonderful resource for a beginner as well as for more advanced artists.
I hadn’t been painting as much as I’d like. I get half way into a Painting and then not like it so I never finish it. This book has helped me like all my paintings.
This book is great for artists from beginner to professional levels. I have many art books, but none of them compare to the depth of information found in Jo’s book. It is great to have such a comprehensive guide to refer to when creating my art.
Everything you want to know about painting a successful landscape painting. Many of the “essentials” are applicable to other paintings like still life too. This book has more images of paintings then I have ever seen in other art books. A must have for your art library. You can’t help but improve your paintings if you apply these principles.
I am basically a beginner when it comes to painting, although I have been drawing using charcoal and graphite pencils for many years. I am still learning to use the tools of the trade….brushes, mixing colors properly…and everything else. I have been taking Jo’s classes online since July, and have purchased a couple of his DVD’s….but the book gives me a hands on guide to all of the pearls of wisdom of Jo’s. Jo’s teaches the things other artists don’t….and instead of being frustrated with painting, I am now learning what I need to do to create the beauty I see around me everyday. I cannot stress to you how wonderful this book is…no matter if you are a beginner or a seasoned artist….Jo’s book can help your art work reach new levels you could not have imagined!
This wonderful and “only one you will need” art book has been long awaited. I’ve been taking the author’s online courses for 4 years and this book has all the concepts he explains in his courses. The book is chock full of artwork he has done in class as well as visual explanations of those concepts. You will absolutely NOT REGRET buying this book or taking his online courses.
My Landscape Painting Bible Review by Mary P.
This is the only book you will ever need to bring out the artist in you! I have piles of art books but none so informative, easy to understand and full of the secrets other artists will NEVER share. So many tidbits in this book to take your painting to a whole new level. Honestly if you are looking for The Best Art Book ever, this is it! It will make you hunger for all of this artists ideas and experience. This is the frosting on the cake after watching his live classes for over three years and now having this resource at my fingertips I have no excuse to not take my art to a new level! Thank you Johannes Vloothuis for everything!!
I’ve been taking classes from Jo for a couple years (live internet) – and have purchased previous classes I missed from Northlight Shop. His book is essential for any aspiring artist’s collection. From the moment I viewed the beautiful cover I fell in love with this book. Well worth the affordable price. Add some of his classes to your collection. And sign up for his live on-going internet classes where you will be able to paint along (in any medium) and chat with other artists who will become your friends. And usually the video recordings are included and you can download them to your own computer. You can visit his site at www.improvemypaintings.com I’m a fan !!
I have been following Jo since I first discovered his workshops and DVDs and am convinced that he is a consummate artist and instructor. I am delighted to have a physical book to pick up and read. It is packed with so much information and as I have done so many times before, I would recommend that anyone who is interested in painting well should take advantage of his very informative and all encompassing instructions. However, the moment I saw the cover of this book, my eyes were drawn to the middle mountain peak where I saw the face of a man. I asked others (artists and non-artists) to comment on the painting and they too saw the face. It is very distracting. I am surprised this painting was chosen for the cover.
Johannes has put into book form so many golden nuggets for making a painting work with a professional look that it is the best bargain anywhere. I have purchased most of his DVDs and this is so nice to have right at your fingertips when something isn’t working in your painting, to pick it up and see-oh yeah-thats what I did wrong. It is mostly landscape but I work mostly with figures and the imformation that he supplies applies to figures as well. I can’t express enough how much this would be a benefit to anyone painting as well as someone who is just interested in learning more about viewing paintings. The only one thing I could critcize is it should have been a hard back book for permanency.
I live on another continent, Europe and I heard of Mr. ?Johannes Vloothuis through the Internet. Before it, I took some classes in my own country, but nobody did know to explain me those little, but most important, in other words essential things that I somehow feel, but were not sure that they are correct. So, I am very thankful to him because he has shown me how to release my mind and my hand, and I think that everybody who likes to paint must have his book, and has to take his classes.
If you have had no lessons at all this is a book that will make you start out correct. I used to say this and that but didn’t know why it works. He explains the WHY. He is very personable in his classes which I recommend with the book.
I read many books on landscape painting, but this one beats all of them. The topics covered in this book couldn’t be found anywhere. The author answers both questions: How to do it and why do it this way.
The Book Landscape Painting Essentials is without a doubt a must for a landscape artist. Essentially what is does is give the artist a base line of knowledge of how to analyze their paintings. All too often when a painter is finished he sees something is not right but he is not sure what is wrong. This book gives him the insight as to what might be the problem and how to correct it. This is as good as it gets.
This is the greatest book ever if you want to ” improve your paintings”. It is for all mediums and for any level you might be in, in your painting abilities. Wonderful examples and easy to understand style. You can tell he cares and and wants artists to understand all the ” golden nuggets” he talks about in this book! Johannes and his book are an inspiration to me and I highly recommend it!
Jo illustrates the essentials of painting. He clarifies his “GOLDEN NUGGETS” & simplifies the principals as he illustrates what he is teaching. He talks about how the eye sees. He explains why which helps me understand & remember the concepts. I have been taking his classes for 4 years. I always feel I get so much from his classes.
At all the ‘nuggets’ there to grasp.
I have taken several of Johannes’s online classes and have been so pleased with his method of teaching. He makes the most important principals of landscape painting so clear and easy to understand.
I was so excited when I learned that Jo’s ebook was finally out.
Of all the art books I have read, Landscape Painting Essentials by Johannes Vloothuis is certainly one of the better ones. What is impressive is the clean writing with no illusions of grandeur. There are no fancy artsy words for a line or color. There is no need to go to a dictionary to understand what is being described. He gives honest reasons why an artist needs to do certain things to improve his panting. He also clearly explains the reason why we see things and how we must sometimes compensate for what we see, in order for a composition to work. The chapters are well thought out with an abundance of pictures and graphics to illustrate what the author is detailing.
Jo is a highly experienced artist. This doesn’t always equate to being a good teacher, but Jo is that as well! I appreciate that his mistakes aren’t edited out so we can learn how to correct our own work when we make mistakes. You can never go wrong with a Johannes Vloothuis art lesson regardless of the medium he uses.
I found this video very informative. The techniques are very effective and the course is well explained.
You can not beat Johannes when it comes to learning the “how to” of painting in any medium!
Johannes is an excellent painter and teacher, and this course is very instructive. Although specific for the landscape enthusiast, It is useful for every media you might use.

Watch Sheriff Clarke Put the Squeeze on Don Lemon Over "Black Lives Matter"
Well bless his heart, at least he tried.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke came out swinging from the Republican National Convention when he joined Don Lemon on CNN to talk about the Black Lives Matter movement and their reaction to the attacks and deaths of police officers across the country.
LEMON: I spoke to the heads of the sheriff department, police department and the state police down there and they told us how their hearts were reeling. Their message is peace and coming together in the country.
CLARKE: You don’t believe that for one minute, do you?
…and it just went downhill from there.
CLARKE: Any protests over the deaths of these cops today in Baton Rouge today?
CLARKE: Any riots or protests over the police officers in Dallas, Texas?
LEMON: What are you asking?
CLARKE: It’s a pretty simple question.
LEMON: I asked you if… what’s your message to the people? Their message is one of peace, what’s your message?

Not for us, anyway. Case in point, the illustration to the left. That is Sheffield. He is the elder (we think) of our two cat brothers, Sheffield and Sterling, sometimes referred to here as “Da Boyz.” This is the context–yesterday I started a new story. What it is or how it’s going to turn out is, for now, beside the point. What does concern us is the simple fact I had stolen the time for it from a period when I was supposed to be working on something else, and I had taken the time for that theoretical “something else” from other pressing projects. In short, I was writing in the mode of “guilty pleasure,” which is one of my favorite ways to do it. Seriously, I get some of my best work done when I’m supposed to be doing something else. A psychologist might make much of that, but I really don’t care. It’s just the fact, and being forced into early and I believe temporary retirement hasn’t changed that.
Even if you’re one of the fortunate sods who earn their actual living from writing, the writing isn’t all you have to do. There will always be a limited time for it, and interruptions, even if you can set aside a scheduled 4-8 hour day, depending on how long you can can stare at a screen before the simplest words begin to look like a foreign language and your brain turns to mush. Even then things don’t always obey schedules. Toilets get clogged. Tires go flat. Shopping has to be done. Yardwork. Minor repairs. Painting (the trim and walls, not Art). Trips to the hardware store for the thing you didn’t realize existed before you found out you needed it. Remembering how to use a router table to recreate a missing baseboard. Laundry. Cooking. None of that goes away even if you have a partner; likely there will just be more of it, and if you think they’re going to take care of all that while you play with your imaginary friends and enemies, then you don’t live in the 21st century.
Getting back to Sheffield (Did you think I’d forgotten?). Regardless, while writing on borrowed (okay, stolen) time, in strides the cat. Jumps into my lap somewhere around page three during the white hot fire that is often the beginning of any writing project. Demands scritches. Did you ever try to type with a fifteen pound cat lying on the keyboard? How’s that working out for you? About as well as it does with Sheffield, I’d guess. Sure, be a jerk and drop him on the floor, he just hops back up. Lock him out, and he pounds on the door. The cat will not be denied. As above, interruptions might have nothing to do with the cat, but they will always be there. So you have to stop and pet the cat, and then knock out a few more pages when he’s finally had enough.
By now you might be wondering if there is a point to this. I wonder the same thing, but I’m starting to think there is. Especially when I consider the case of Yamada Monogatari: The Emperor in Shadow, the book was officially released this month, but I never would have gotten it written before the deadline if I hadn’t made it the top priority for the months it took to get it done. It did get done and I am rather pleased with it, but all that time I spent on it had to come from somewhere, and I took it from the time needed to get our new house in order. That part of my life frankly suffered, and now the priority is getting the house back on track. Which means that the time I took from one project to work on another to steal from that project to work on the new story was stolen time right from the start.
What I said above about getting some of my best work done when I’m supposed to be doing something else? True, except I do all my work when I’m supposed to be doing something else. It’s all stolen time. Even when you schedule it. Even if it’s your job. Sometimes I’m amazed that any writing gets done by anyone. But it does. When it’s important enough to you, when it matters, it does, but only because we learn how to steal.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Three San Diego-based ships and some local air units left on deployment Monday, joining the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.
The guided-missile destroyers USS Howard and USS Pinckney, and the guided-missile cruiser USS Princeton, departed from Naval Base San Diego.
San Diego-based air units heading out with the ships included the "Death Rattlers" of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 323, "Eightballers' of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 8, Wolfpack' of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 75 and Providers' of Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 30.
The Nimitz, and guided-missile destroyers USS Kidd and USS Shoup, left their bases in Washington state Thursday and pulled into San Diego to join up with the other vessels.
This deployment is the culmination of months of intensive training and preparations," said Rear Adm. William D. Byrne Jr., commander of Carrier Strike Group 11.
"The Nimitz Strike Group stands ready to respond to a wide variety of contingencies, be that a humanitarian disaster or a regional incident," Byrne said. "We're honored to be in this position to answer the nation's call to duty."
In a statement, the Navy stressed that the deployment was previously scheduled and is not in response to a specific incident or regional event.
A resumption of saber-rattling by North Korea has heightened tensions in Asia.
The Navy said the roughly 7,500 sailors and airmen will focus on maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts.
The Howard is named for Marine Corps First Sergeant Jimmie Howard, who served in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, earning a Medal of Honor in 1967. He eventually settled in San Diego.
The Pinckney is named for Navy Cook First Class William Pinckney, who received a Navy Cross for rescuing a fellow sailor when the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise was damaged in the Battle of Santa Cruz near Guadalcanal in World War II.
The Princeton is the sixth Navy vessel to honor a 1777 Revolutionary War victory in New Jersey led by future President George Washington.

Synthetic biology aims at making biology an engineering discipline by turning molecular and cellular behaviours into a more controllable, standardized and predictable set of features. Metabolic engineering seeks to reprogram the metabolic wiring in a cell in order to expand, improve or modify its natural properties for useful purposes such as , for example, maximizing the production of a target compound or degrading a pollutant in an efficient way. In the last few years, a steady increase of synthetic biology-inspired approaches for metabolic engineering has enabled researchers in the field to adopt a truly rational methodology to reprogram the cell behavior.
This Research Topic is intended to collect research articles, method articles, technology reports, reviews, mini-reviews, perspective or opinion articles on how the recent technical advances in synthetic biology (such as DNA assembly, genome synthesis, sequencing and NGS, genetic engineering, control theory, metabolic modeling, genome editing, orthogonality and fine control of gene expression), can be used to manipulate the metabolism of target cells in a more efficient, faster and reliable manner.

I instantly felt the weight of an icy boulder push down my body and try to bury me under the dingy linoleum floor. By removing my mask I was sentencing you to death.
The call came earlier that day and I was told that you didn’t have much time. Your body was too weak for a transplant even if another match was found. I had heard the words but they didn’t register, I was in denial.
My mind raced as I thought, “My germs can KILL YOU!” As I looked around the room, however, I realized there were others there without a mask already.
I painfully began to take off my gloves, the long gown and finally my mask. I felt like a sloth yet my tears formed quick-as-lightning. I choked them back. As I clumsily threw the layers in the soiled bin, a dry and metallic taste formed in the back of my throat. I swallowed hard as I struggled to maintain eye contact with you. I sat in the chair next to your bed anxious to hold your swollen hand. You whispered, “I’m glad you’re here” before closing your eyes, the heavy medications easing your pain but forcing you in and out of consciousness.
THAT my dear best friend was the moment I accepted there was no hope for your recovery and acknowledged that you would die of cancer.
The realization of what was soon to come came in painful jabs. What turned my stomach and brought me the most uncontrollable sadness was the thought that you would never see your three young sons again. You wouldn’t be able to enjoy their hugs and giggles or soothe their ouchies. I felt as if my heart dissolved in waves of acid as each excruciating thought of what you would miss slithered through.
You died a few days later on my husband’s birthday.
At your funeral I spoke about your unique spirit and how your virtues inspired me (I left out how you also drove me crazy sometimes but that was no secret to you).
At 30 years old you were unapologetically bossy and dedicatedly stubborn, yet giving and generous.
You were magnetizing, infectious and loyal to a fault.
You fiercely loved and protected your loved ones, you were an amazing mother.
You could easily get us out of the big trouble you had just gotten us into.
Did I mention you were bossy?
Oh how I loved you dearly.
Hundreds turned up to your funeral so I urged them to make your life count. I felt I needed to make a big life change to somehow make sense of everything so I asked everyone there to join me. I implored them to make a conscious effort to follow in your virtues. I asked that they single out a change they want to make in their lives and have you be the reason to act on it in hopes of bringing acceptance.
You have inspired me to redesign my life so that I live with intent and purpose and be the best possible mother I can be. I didn’t realize how much of this I was lacking until I witnessed your tragic death.
I built a Tiny House!
I can hear you say, “What? No!” in a surprised yet fascinated tone in your voice with that big iconic smile of yours, then ask “how the hell did you go from this to THAT?
I decided I would honor your life by putting energy and power into crafting a purposeful life I would be proud of, one that you influenced. One centered on my family, my truth and my joy.
I want to work on projects that inspire others and make a difference in their lives, starting with my son and loved ones. I vow to do whatever is needed to be a present mom and be grateful for all moments with my son.
Your minimalistic ways (although they stemmed from your germ phobia and obsessive compulsiveness but nonetheless) have inspired me to minimize my physical possessions in order to make room for what truly matters to me. We have gotten rid of about 75% of our possessions (you would be so proud). I figured that by reducing expenses and the chores that come with physical possessions, I can craft the type of life you and I used to say would be ideal but so elusive: work to live, not live to work.
So now my dear friend, I promise I am making it count.
My job doesn’t have to define me anymore and much less dictate my time with my son. I can now choose the work that I do. I don’t NEED that big paycheck anymore (financially nor symbolically). Who would have thought right? Me! Mrs. Career, who idolized her corporate life and her 100 pairs of shoes quit her job and move into a tiny house!
It is your life that has inspired me to make this change and it is your death that has propelled action.
The fact that you died on my husband’s birthday is like an omen to me. I feel that I’m supposed to make this life change and now every year on that day I will celebrate the birth of the man I love, but also your life AND the commitment to live my life with intent.
You made sure that I never forget you by your actions in life, and now with your death you’ve made sure I never forget my promise to live fully.
Thank you for sharing a beautiful letter and message that leaves me in tears. A realization that I am not alone in this path. We should always be living as if is our last day. I am in the journey to live my life to the fullest.

RICHMOND HILL - Brian Eichhorn wants adults to play outside.
Eichhorn and his wife Kathy are starting an adult kickball league in Richmond Hill. The two Richmond Place residents played on the Savannah Kickball League in 2006, and want to bring the sport closer to home.
"Initially we were going to have a team to go play in Savannah, have a Richmond Hill team," Eichhorn, 38, said. "And then we started getting more interest. And it was like, you know, we'd rather play here locally than have to drive into Savannah."
Because everyone will be getting acquainted with the game of kickball and with one another, teams will not be picked in a conventional manner for the first few weeks. Rather, whoever comes on Sundays will be picked for teams schoolyard-style - team captains will be named and will choose their teams each week. Later, the league will have regular teams competing against one another.
Eichhorn said 30 to 40 people have said they want to play kickball. He said that, realistically, that's enough for two teams. Between eight and 11 people normally play on a team per game, but with other responsibilities, every adult probably won't be able to play every Sunday.
The spring season will run six to eight weeks, starting Sunday. Eichhorn said they're also planning on bringing the league back in the fall for another season.
"The ideal time to do this is in the fall," he said. "And I'm sure, what we're doing right now, is really getting the base started for the fall. I would imagine come fall it will be a whole lot more organized."
He said fall is a better time because of the cooler weather, and fewer activities that parents must shuttle their children to and from.
Eichhorn spent a year playing kickball in Savannah, and many years playing kickball in physical education classes in elementary school.
He laughed about a team in Savannah whose uniforms consisted of knee-high striped tube socks and colored headbands and wristbands. He said no matter how stupid you think you look when getting dressed in such a get-up, "when you get out there and your whole team is dressed that way, then, you know, it's cool."
"It's a social event," Eichhorn said of playing kickball.
He continued, "The one misconception I had was when we first went out there to play kickball, we're thinking it's more playground-type ball. The game starts out in the first couple of innings as fun. The competitive nature comes out of everybody. Even though it's a social event, there's still a win/loss to it. As the game progresses, and if it's a closer game, you'll find the people who were real laid back and easygoing, now they're kind of turning it up a notch and the competitiveness does come out."
Eichhorn said that the game is not as easy as one would imagine. "You think you're just kicking a slowly rolled ball? No. These guys, when they figured it out after the first game, they're rolling it like bowling. Try kicking one like that," Eichhorn said.
Another thing players often don't think about is the fact that they can get hurt. "You're going to kick a ball, and you really haven't used those muscles to kick, you know; what adult really goes out there kicking anything?" Eichhorn commented. "And if you don't stretch beforehand, you're going to pull a muscle."
Eichhorn said any single person who wants to meet new people, anyone who is new to the area or any adult who is just looking to get some exercise and have fun is encouraged to join. "It's not something that you have to have a great overall skill to play," he said.
Even if someone does not want to play kickball or participate in the league, spectators are welcome. There are no bleachers on the field, so spectators should bring blankets or lawn chairs on which to sit.

The Foot and Ankle Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic exam that captures images of the soft tissues around the foot and ankle joint, tendons and muscles.
Ultrasound is a very safe and reliable diagnostic imaging resource that assesses pathology and guides physicians towards your individualized treatment plan.
Should you have any concern of foot and ankle signs or symptoms, such as discomfort, pain, swelling, numbness, tingling or burning sensations, a referral from a general practitioner or family doctor is required for a diagnostic foot and ankle ultrasound.
There are no specific preparations necessary for the foot and ankle ultrasound. Dress in clothes that allow for easy access to examine the ankle and foot, otherwise, a medical gown will be provided. A water-based gel is used to improve the transmission of the ultrasound waves; however, should you have any allergies to gel it is important to let the ultrasound technician know. In addition, please let the ultrasound technician know if you have had any previous surgery around the imaged area.
If you are pregnant, or suspect that you may be pregnant, please notify your doctor. If you have any queries or concerns with preparing for your ultrasound, please discuss these with your physician before your appointment.
Upon arrival, you will be shown to a private room where the ultrasound technician will offer you a medical gown to change into if needed. You will be asked to remove any jewelry that may interfere with the ultrasound procedure. When ready, the ultrasound technician will apply a small amount of a water-based gel to the transducer head, and gently move it along your foot and ankle with mild to moderate pressure to capture clear images. The technician may ask you to change positions in order to capture all necessary images. Once finished, you will be able to wipe off the gel and get dressed.
The assessment will be approximately 15 minutes long for one foot and ankle and 30 minutes for both.

Most repair shops are in the business of repairing cars not loaning money. Go to a bank, (one that you deal with) or a credit union and inquire about a loan to cover the cost of repairs. If you know any body shop people, you might be able to cut a deal, and possibly they will let you make the payments over time. Most of them don't work this way however. They need the money to pay their people and suppliers and to pay the tax man.
My Toyota 1997 Camry Car Has Oil Spill All Over The Engine.?
I Notice An Oil Spill In My Engine When I Saw Smoke Coming Out Of My Engine, I Did Not Pour Oil On My Engine And I Can'T Figure Out Where It Is Coming From. I Don'T See Any Leaks Sine There Is No Oil On The Floor When I Move My Car.
I think you might have a crack gasket around the crank shaft and valves head. Bring it to the shop and them have diagnose. Hope it is only that and not a crack in your engine. It might be costly though. They have to tear it down and replace the gaskets. Parts are cheap but lot of labor.
not sure if your car leaks around the valve caps or not.
1996 Toyota Camry Overheating And Not Picking Up Speed When Accelerated.?
160,000 Miles, Car Overheats And Smokes When Stopped But Once Driving Again It Cools Down, Now Car Is Starting To Kick When Accelerating From Being Stopped. Have Changed The Coolant Reservoir Due To A Large Crack In It. What Else Could This Be, Or What Is Making The Car Pull And Kick?
Does your car blow cold air when it's on hot? you really need to sort out this problem before you crack the head or sounds like the head gasket has gone already, did coolant reserviour get that large crack in it due to overheating..
What you need to do now you have replaced the coolant reservoir you need to bleed the water through properly as it sounds like you have air locks causing it to do this! Good Luck! ps.. a car with that many miles if it hasn't had a head gasket in a while it's sure due one.
Hey before you bleed the water just make sure the head gasket is ok, take off the oil cap & see if there's a white creamy colour under the cap or around the edges, if this is the case then its the head gasket...also check the dipstick to see if the oil is normal.
My 1998 Ford Contour 4 Cylinder Is Blowing Oil Into My Air Filter Has Low Compression In Cylinder 1 And Boiling Coolant?
How Can I Make Alot Of Money In The Automotive Repair Industry?
I think Sandy hit the nail on the head. I started my own mobile repair business in January of this year after working in performance shops, including an extremely large Mercedes Benz dealer and could not continue working for people that are unethical. If you do what Sandy mentioned, you will be successful. Many shops have made it very easy for the honest guys because people simply don't trust mechanics/ technicians & for good reason many times. When they can trust you, they will never leave you. I have lost time on many jobs, but I stuck to the price and gained the trust and all of my customers friend's and family business. I can tell you from recent experience that when you get one good customer, treat them like family & repair their cars to the best of your ability, you usually gain alot of business at one time.
To add to the above, be passionate about your craft and constantly educate yourself and stay current. There are online web based seminars, workshops, etc from anything on propperly using a scantool or labscope to replacing timing chains. I doubt there is a room in my house that doesn't have a technical magazine or book that I'm constantly reading. Your best bet is to attend a good tech school. I graduated from 2 of them including the Mercedes Benz ELITE program and it was the best experience I ever had. It's the perfect place to build a solid foundation for understanding how all systems and areas of a vehicle works. Also the perfect environment to learn without speed or cost consequences . You don't have to know everything, but If you love it and are an honest person, you will make money and be successful.
How Much In An Average Termite Fumigation?
This is not as cut and dried as you would think. Fumigators charge by the cubic foot, not square feet. Therefore, if you have cathederal ceilings and/or a basement, it factors in. Don't forget the garage area, too, as the tent goes over the entire property and even over a fence if need be. There is no way to separate different parts of the structure.
It will depend on where you live and the price of gas fluctuation, too. Here in Ventura, CA, an average sized 1,250 sq.ft. home with a 2 car garage, no out-buildings, high ceilings, or basements, will cost about $1,300 right now. If you go direct to the fumigation company and not through a termite company, it saves money. The quote I gave you was direct. Termite companies put another $200-$300 on top because they can. If you need other termite repairs, then you need them. If it is stricktly fumigation, you don't.
If you need a termite clearance report, you can still get one from a termite company for about $75.00, which you would pay for anyway, without the additional expense. These people are highly competetive. Call them all. Remember, the termite companies almost always use the same fumigation company, so get the name of the fumigator and save yourself the aggravation of a dozen calls.

I honestly think I would die without internet.
Exaggeration? Maybe, but only slightly. Anyone who knows me can testify to the fact that I'm always scrolling on my phone, going through every single app when I know there isn't really anything new, or most recently, watching way too many instastories - even when I know they eat up so much data!
9am Run out of snooze buttons and drag myself out of bed (after scrolling through all the notifications that happened while I was sleeping).
10am Reach the office, go through emails, then start doing my show prep (this includes googling latest celeb goss, watching new movie/tv trailers, scrolling through Facebook to see what's viral, sneaking in instagram time BECAUSE WHY I AM ADDICTED etc.
11.30am Lunch and whatsapp away.
12.45pm Time to start the show! Between talking, I'll also be googling extra info on the topic I'm talking about, and replying listeners' whatsapp messages.
4pm Show done! Time to reply my own messages and update my instastories and social media.
This is also when we'll be taking photos and videos for the station's social media, writing scripts, having meetings etc. On the lucky days I have none of these to do, I plonk myself in front of YouTube and usually discover a million and one new songs, vlogs and interviews all at once.
7pm Time to go home! Usually I’ll head out for dinner or a catch up with friends, all the while my phone never leaves my sight. Not exactly healthy, but reality.
