Lisle 93102 creepers are almost the same as the above reviewed creeper, only that these are 2 inches longer. Also, it is different in terms of color.
The unit has been designed from plastic with its bushings molded into the plastic body as well. Plastic is known to be resistant to fuels, solvents, water, and other different oils that are a threat to other creepers.
Furthermore, cleaning this plastic creeper will not be a problem. You can wipe it clean using either a dry or wet rug.
Also, it features a urethane roller fitted on its bushing. This makes the creeper have a high level of portability and making it easy to replace the wheels.

What makes this creeper stand out is its rugged and ergonomic design out of plastic that will bid you an optimal comfort while working.
It comes with six three-inch rotating ball casters which are very durable. They will allow this creeper an easy movement. Since these wheels rotate smoothly, you will be able to move back or forth with ease.
You will also be able to spin as you like, unlike with other creepers where spinning can force you to change the direction.

If you are like the majority of mechanics who are looking for comfort, here is your desired unit. The pro-lift is another finely padded creeper that has been designed to ensure that you feel nice while working.
Though there are other comfortable units on this list, the Pro-Lift C-9100 can stand out. It has some points that set it apart from other models on this list like its brother, the Pro-Lift C-2036D.
One thing that is notable about this unit is how durable it is. It was designed from hard steel, and this implies that it will stand the test of wear and tear.
It also offers a weight advantage. The 450 lbs. weight capacity is high enough to support any mechanic thinking about buying this unit.
Moreover, the Pro-Lift C-2036D is actually a 2-in-1 unit. It comes designed to be folded in Z-seat. Also, with thick padding; you will get extra comfort while working under your car. The unit also has six swivel casters which will offer you full mobility and ease of use even when under the tight area.
Lastly, the Pro-Lift C-2036D has heavy duty frames that can support up to 450 pounds of capacity.
At lucky number seven, our list has a special unit for you if you are flexible on budget and price is not your primary concern.
Additionally, if you have been searching for a heavy duty unit that can roll over your garage floor without any issue, we have you covered.
You may find it somehow pricier than most of the units on this rundown. However, there are surely certain features that make so.
First, the reason for the price is its quality engineering. The unit is entirely made from a solid polymer that will last for long. So, chances are this creeper will last for a lifetime.
Its low profile design is also an added advantage. Regardless of the circumstances you may face, there won't be any issue while using it. Moreover, this Dale Adams creeper comes with caster wheels that have been designed to roll over a wide range of surfaces properly.
On the other hand, you will miss some elements in this unit. Unlike other models on this list, this one offers lower comfortability as it has a polymer body. Sadly, there are no nice and soft pads on this unit.
It also does not offer adjustability feature, and this makes it not so all-around to some users. However, this should not be a bother if you are looking for a heavy duty unit that can last for a lifetime.
Next, find a well-designed creeper which is built to last and roll smoothly on the ground. The Traxion's 1-100 creeper comes to support you as a mechanic in more ways than what you can think from the look of an eye.
First, it features 5-inch caster wheels that make it suitable and applicable in a wide variety of terrains. You will be able to work on different floors ranging from concrete to garage or more floors that are uneven.
You will also appreciate its ergonomic design alongside raised headrest and neck support. This implies that you will not feel any stress around the neck and back muscles even if you work for long hours.
Furthermore, it comes padded and this adds extra comfort. So you will not feel fatigue. The 401 lbs. capacity and low profile design despite its large wheels make this creeper suitable for most vehicles.
Looking for the USA made quality? Look no further, this professional 44-inch adjustable creeper is for you. It is excellent and nicely designed with quality padding, paint, and covering.
It comes with small casters that are very strong and can roll over bumps, cracks or on any other rough surface without an issue.
So if you are going to work outside the shop or in the garage where there is a coarse surface or with a lot of stones, then this professional creeper should be your next consideration.
Additionally, another fantastic thing about this creeper is how cheap it is with remarkable features compared to its counterparts. This is the best creeper that you can acquire within the price range. For sure, it accompanies qualities that can be acquired expensively when in other creepers.
You will also appreciate how nicely and very well this unit has been designed. Whether you are heavy or tall, it will support your weight and height well. So you will roll fine on the ground.
With an adjustable back that has different settings, you will easily crawl under your car. More so, it is padded with soft cushions so you will have a comfortable working environment.
One thing I will not forget to remind you is that it can work in the gear bays or under the wing areas. An ordinary creeper will be too low for this task. But with this, you will be able to set your juxtaposition to whatever you feel is comfortable. So you will work for long hours without feeling fatigued.
In short, this item is for you if looking for outstanding quality. With good welds, quality and sturdy caster wheels, soft padding alongside affordable price, I don't see the reason why you should not consider this creeper.
With so many brands available, differentiating one among the best can be tricky. To buy something that can meet your needs successfully, you have to consider some elements.
The material from which your unit is made from should be among your consideration before purchase.
Creepers come made from different materials, and you should always make sure that you buy excellent quality material if you are looking for something that can last for an extended period.
Among the standard materials, you can get plastic, steel, and plywood.
Creepers made from plywood are not very durable as they can easily break. The plastic ones are affordable compared to steel ones. However, the steel ones are known for their durability and sturdiness.
Comfort is also another thing that you should consider. Remember the purpose of a creeper is to enable you to crawl in and out of under the car comfortably.
So choose the padded one as they can help minimize spinal injuries and back pains alongside giving superior comfort.
If you opt for plastic ones, choose the one which is contoured as opposed to the straight or flat ones.
Mobility should be determined based on the ground you will be working on. If your floor is rough or has some cracks, consider a creeper with larger wheels. A small wheeled creeper can be a problem to move over a non-smooth surface.
Remember you might need to transport it or travel between places. So choose a creeper which does not involve too much to move from one point to another.
You don't know if your customers will be calling you far from your city, and you will have to travel.
Clearance is another crucial feature that you also have to think about. If you are looking for something that can offer you more space to work in, choose the one with low floor clearance.
Higher ground clearance can suit those to work under the heavy vehicles such tracks. But for a personal car, opt for low profile clearance.
Type is a widespread element that you also have to think about. There are many types of creepers, and that can be a challenge to choose one.
From the folding name, these types are usually two in one creeper; a creeper itself, and a Z-seat. They are in most cases designed with a padded back bench. Others have a cushioned headrest.
Those that accompany a trolley usually have a split back design that gives room for dual application. You can switch any folding creeper to Z-seat easily with no tools required.
This is the folding type, but they only differ by featuring an adjustable headrest. This gives comfort and support to the users head in any direction. Moreover, they facilitate a better view without straining the neck.
These are the opposite of straight creepers. In most cases, they don't come with a padded lining. You can get them designed from a solid material and assume a curve like structure for the perfect fit of the user's body.
Moreover, you can get contoured creepers having a handle at the bottom end. You can utilize the handle to hang it for storage, move or carry the creeper.
Besides, you can get other models with the trolley on side. The trolley can be used to hold or store tools while working on your car.
This type of creeper allows the user to hold on either side while relocating to a different place. This increases the controllability.
You can get car creepers designed in a bone-shaped structure. These creepers are usually molded from polypropylene copolymer. They typically come with four larger and wider caster wheels to offer easy maneuverability.
They are the best type on rough surfaces such as concrete, gravel, grass, sand, or garage floor.
Whether you are a professional or hobbyist, safety should be the top and foremost priority.
Whatever the type of creeper you are going to use, it is not 100% safe. So you need to follow some measures to stay accident-free while working under your car. Here, we take you through some basic creeper safety measures.
The jack can fail. So, ensure that you have placed a backup stand while you are under the vehicle. This will be your backup in case a jack fails.
Having a proper eye or head protection is also vital. This can protect against sharp objects.
Some mechanics tend to place the tools on their chest which is wrong. So please, have a separate trolley if your unit doesn't have one and use it to hold and store your tools.
Don't get under the car where other vehicles are passing nearby. There are chances that they can run over your legs while you are busy concentrated on your work.
When not in use, properly hang your creeper on a safe wall rack if you have. Never leave your unit flat on the floor when working in a garage. Your kids can take it as a play truck, or the car can run over it.
The best creeper comes with some benefits. For sure, its many benefits can make you opt for this tool. Here is a summary of some of the advantages it offers.
Imagine lying with your back on the concrete floor, or stone. You know how you can feel. As they come padded with soft material, you will have a comfortable platform where your neck, back, joints will be shielded from the uncomfortable floor, such as a concrete floor, cracks, or stones.
Having a comfortable working environment implies you will eliminate the bothers and only concentrate on the work thus doing your work quicker and professionally.
Imagine how it is hard to crawl out from under the car. Maybe you need to do that several times. You will get exhausted. Luckily with a creeper, everything becomes simple.
Particularly for creepers that accompany a tray for tools, you will crawl under your car with everything you need set in one location.
So finding the next tool will be just a stretch of hand. This will in return save time and effort.
With the best creeper, you can quickly move and maneuver under your car while working on it.
While working without a creeper, you can get injured. Doubt that? Yes, you can knock your head while trying to crawl under the car. Again, crawling over the stones, concrete and cracked surface increases the chance for injuries.
A creeper also plays a huge role in the efficiency of work done. As you will be able to move out and in from the under car quickly, it also denotes that you will complete the job quickly.
Also, the padded material makes it less painful to get out as opposed to when working on a concrete floor.
Questions running through your head? Wondering where or whom to ask for answers? Go through the below-mentioned queries from users and those intending to use the creeper all over the world.
You might find some matching your worries.
## Do I need to go under a training before using a creeper?
You don't have to undergo any training session before using a creeper. Buy and use it straight away.
## Do creepers require maintenance?
The only maintenance practice a creeper can require is washing it after use and storing it properly. No other maintenance you have to do on your creeper.
## Where can I buy a mechanic creeper?
There are many places where you can buy a creeper. You can buy it at your local mechanic store or online. I recommend buying it online, because you will have an opportunity to select from a variety of products.
## Do all creepers come with wheels?
Wheels are what make them a creeper. If they have no wheels, it is something different from a creeper.
After reading this review, you will now agree with me that there are a quite variety of creepers. You will also settle on the fact that each creeper type comes with its peculiarities.
This implies that each type is designed to fit a specific mechanic. So when making your choice, go for the best mechanic creeper that matches with your needs. The above nine products are just examples of the best creepers that you can choose.

In an online survey, fans voted "These go to 11" as their favorite line. See the Tap FUQ for runners-up.
Which are the most Tap-like bands? The nominees: KISS, Def Leppard, Saxon, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Motley Crue, Kingdom Come, Black Sabbath, Scorpions and Ten Years After (their frontman, Alvin Lee, looks like a larger version of David St. Hubbins, and they had an album called "Stonehenge").
The July 1995 issue of the British music magazine Encore includes four pages of Tap memories from musicians such as Sade, Michael Stipe, Alice Cooper and Paul McCartney.
Tap is featured in The Love Book holding a photographer's cheesy Love sign.
Is that Nigel looking at amps in the background of the music store scene in The Blues Brothers?
The umlaut in Spinal Tap's name has caused some controversy. One fan comments: "I see no reason to conclude that those two dots are an umlaut. It's just as sensible to think of them as a diaresis. Considerably funnier, too. Trying to pronounce the 'n' separately from the 'i' and the 'a' yields a much weirder sound than trying to modulate its tone."
Svein Halvorsen, keeper of Tappus Norwegicus, posted this flash: "The Norwegian title of the film (translated back into English) is " 'Help, we're in the pop business.' "
Tap makes an appearance on the Metallica video, A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica, Part 2, taped April 20, 1992, at the Freddie Mercury tribute at Wembley Stadium. Here's a transcript.
Among the anagrams created from Spinal Tap are Slap a Pint, I Lap Pants and Pain Splat.

This New Addington D-Day hero returned to the beach where he fought more than 70 years ago
'It's very moving to be stood there again, where I could have actually been stood fighting,' he said.

A New Addington war hero and Legion of Honour winner has returned to the Normandy beach he fought to liberate as a young infantryman back in 1944.
Stanley Taylor, 93, served all over the world with the Army and the UN and even spent a year as a guardsman for the Queen.
His experience as a soldier left him partially deaf, with a chest full of medals from all over the world, including France's highest military honour for his actions on D-Day.
Originally from Yorkshire, Stanley has lived in the borough ever since the Second World War after meeting his wife, Barbara - who passed away in 2012, on Croydon High Street as he was training for the amphibious assault on Sword Beach.

As a corporal, he was on the first wave that took Sword beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944, clutching a Sten machine gun.
He said: "The real heroes are the ones who died in the water. I won't lie, we were scared of getting maimed.
"We weren't afraid of dying, it was losing an arm or a leg and being left there until someone comes and picks you up, that was the thing we feared the most."
Croydon gran celebrates 100th birthday and credits long life to never drinking a glass of water
In early September, the Royal British Legion took Stanley and 12 other veterans back to Sword Beach for a six-day tour of the places they liberated, in a tour funded by payouts from the Libor rate rigging scandal.
He described the visit as emotional, particularly so to have returned to the exact stretch of sand where he helped to begin the liberation of France from Nazi rule.

"It's very moving to be stood there again, where I could have actually been stood fighting," he said.
"I still remember a soldier, a Scot, who marched up and down the beach playing the bagpipes. The Germans stopped firing for three minutes to listen to him play. They lost a lot of men doing that."
As well as sharing stories of their experiences fighting on the beaches, the group of veterans talked about their disdain for President Donald Trump's "warmongering" before being taken to visit the graves of those who fell on the day.
At one point Stanley found the graves of 23 of his former comrades from East Yorkshire regiment.
"They're heroes. They died and I didn't. They're heroes to me," he said.
The 93-year-old also laid a wreath alongside fellow veterans at the Cambes-en-Plaine war cemetery, which is a short distance from Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, the french village which sits next to the beach which was code-named Sword for the invasion.

Stanley said he bears no ill will towards the ordinary German soldiers he fought against, unlike the Nazi SS troops.
"The Gerries were just as scared as us. They'd not washed in ages – you could smell them a mile off. They didn't want to be there either and they knew they were fighting for a madman.
"The proper Nazis were the real nasty b*******, but for the most part the German soldiers just wanted to go home the same as we did.
"There was a time where we were taking a gun up the hill, and you could see the older soldiers just turn and run away because they'd had enough, but the fanatical younger ones, they must have been 15 or 16 shot them in their backs as they ran away."
"But it was the panzers [German tanks] we were most afraid of. You could take down a machine gun post with small arms, but those panzers were something else."

Winston Churchill's visit to Croydon could have changed the history of the world for the worse
But despite the horrors of war, Stanley said he had some fonder memories of the invasion, particularly the rare luxury of getting to take a shower and a nap.
"We had about three [showers] over the course of two years – the engineers would set up a pipe along a field and a make shift boiler.
"They bore holes in the pipe and you'd take your shower out in the open."

"There was a farmer who hid his tools in a hay stack. He let us lay down there for a night, took his machinery out and let us in there, then he asked us if we had tea, and brought us fresh milk in the morning. It was the best night's sleep I'd had in two years."
Prior to Remembrance Sunday this year, Stanley had been in hospital, but he was strong enough to make it out to honour the war fallen.
He said: "It was very important to me. I remembered my friends and that to me is always important. Those poor buggers.
"We're living and I'm still walking. I may be 93, but I'm still walking and they're dead."

I've only one view in my app. So transferring data of AJAX to that view.
Here's my views.py
def index(request):

    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = FeedbackForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            message = request.POST['message']
            email = request.POST['email']
            print(message)
            print(email)
            subject = "{} by {}".format(message,email)
            recipients = ['xyz@mail.com']
            sender = 'my@mail.com'
            send_mail(subject, message, sender ,recipients,fail_silently=False)
            return HttpResponse('')
    else:
        form = ThoughtForm()

    return render(request,'my_webapp/index.html',{'form':form})

My urls.py file-
urlpatterns = [
    path('',views.index,name='index')
]

In developement mode- It all works well.
In production mode as soon as I hit submit button it shows me the loading gif but then it dissappears with no thank you message, no wrong email alert nothing happens and form vanishes
The issue seems to be with the url. Can somebody help.
Here's the traceback error I'm getting in heroku logs-

Hydra's easy accessibility from Athens in just 1h 30mins ferry ride makes it a unique chance to taste and photograph one of the most picturesque islands of Greece.
Guided by local instructors, sharpen your skills in photography and immerse yourself in the local culture of this charming place!
Reaching the island, the charming town around the island's main harbor, built amphitheatrically on the slopes of the hill, amazes visitors at first sight with the elegant Greystone mansions. Both cosmopolitan and tranquil, the island is protected by the declaration as a national historic monument and enchants its visitors with its traditional architectural style and old-world charm.
Reminiscent of Hydra's proud past, the architecture of the main town is extraordinary. Mingled among the Islanders' cascading whitewashed homes, with their brightly colored windows, stately, grey stoned mansions built in the eighteenth century by wealthy merchants and ship owners in the Venetian style, watch over the main harbor.
What contributes to a greater picture? The port lined with large and small yachts, as well as traditional caciques and fishing boats. Shops, hotels, cafes, and tavernas add to the picture, while cobblestone streets and alleyways wind along the coast and climb the steep, rocky hillsides leading to the island's various neighborhoods and villages.
It's not a coincidence that in the late 1950s, artists and writers, such as Canadian singer Leonard Cohen and novelist Henry Miller, started coming to Hydra. Since then, it has served as the setting for numerous movies and novels, as well as a destination or residence for artists and intellectuals, both Greek and international.
On our photography visit to Hydra, we have numerous opportunities to get inspired; from the island's rich history and culture revealed in every aspect of its life, the bustling port and the quaint and charming cobblestone streets with brightly colored doors framed with brilliant bougainvillea or plumbago, to the stunning Mediterranean views along the coast and the island's rural trails through pine trees and olive groves, shepherds herding sheep and donkeys grazing patiently in the fields, to name the least!
Our photography trips are designed for private and corporate groups looking to explore the beauties of Greece while enjoying a ride.


The Chateau de St. Léger is delightfully situated on the edge of what in France must be considered an extensive forest in the department of Oise, about four miles from the quaint little city of Beauvais, noted for its tapestries and for its cathedral. It is well worth the two hours' journey from Paris to get a sigh of the magnificent choir which many consider the finest in Europe.
The reach S. Léger from Beauvais, we either take a voiture drawn by a horse whose most remarkable quality is his power of resisting the persuasions of the driver, who urges him on with stenos language, punctuated by a most active goad; or by a little railroad, which lands us within gunshot of the chateau at a lonely little station kept by a kindly old lady who cultivates beautiful rose and cheery smiles. Only the red roof of the chateau is visible above the tops of the trees, which surround it, sentineled by one splendid Lombardy poplar which towers majestically up into the rich, red gold of the dying day.
Here is this quiet and restful retreat Signor Giovanni Sbriglia, the eminent teacher of singing, passes his summers, taking a few pupils with him. Mme. Sbriglia, bringing her own servants from Paris, presides over the household with rare thoughtfulness and tact.
After the lessons of the day are over, never later than half past four, master and pupils stroll over across the fields, where the hilarious ones may play mumblety peg on the mossy ground under the fir trees, and the real giddy ones decorate themselves as brigands with stray burnt embers and improvise a comic opera with tragic effect.
During these walks the Maestro often became reminiscent and harked back to the days when he sang in the United States, both in the old opera companies and in concerts.
I shall not forget one day coming with him across the fields over the brow of the hill, and how beautiful the country looked in the approaching twilight. I asked him who were the well-known singers in Italy when he was preparing his career in opera.
"I was trained at Naples at the conservatory, under Emanuel Roxas and Busti—the latter of whom died only three years ago—in the strict old Italian school. When we went to the opera, we heard the most perfect models, such as Malibran, Alboni, Fessolini, Tardolini, Lablache, Cortesi, Mario, Rubini, etc. These great artists sang with natural emission of the voice, acquired after long study of the posing of the voice and a thorough course of solfeggi. Sometimes the masters kept their pupils for two years on exercises for the voice and solfeggi. Then they commenced the study of the simple arias from the repertoire.
"Did these old masters use the nasal exercises which are so popular at present?" I asked.
"No, they were never a part of the old school of singing. I have used them for certain special purpose with certain pupils, but they should be used with great care and caution, for they are often harmful and misleading. The object these old masters tried to attain was the natural flow of the voice sustained by the chest, the correct classification of the voice and then nothing artificial about its emission."
"And did these old singers have power of voice?" I asked. "Many people have the idea that their voices were beautiful but rather small."
"On the contrary," was the reply: "many of them gained great power, as, for example, Tamberlik, Mirati and Guilini. Of course, there were light tenors and the dramatic tenors also. But all the great masters trained the voice as a whole. Registers exist in nature, but the voices must be treated as a whole to obtain perfect equality throughout from top to bottom. It is the natural voice that is the beautiful voice."
By this time we had reached the big road and crossed the little stone bridge and were just entering the vine-covered stone gateway that led past the gardener's lodge. I turned to go over to the farm where I was stopping.
"You mustn't forgot to tell me about your experiences in America sometime," I said.
"Perhaps I will on Sunday; no lessons, you know, and the day will be long," was the reply.
On Sunday morning the bell in the owed of the little church of St. Léger called the early worshippers at six o'clock and again at ten thirty. The little village is mostly street, but is rather picturesque, with its red tiled roofs behind the high stone walls. The peasants in their Sunday gowns make either way to church and gossip with each otters about the news of the day. In the little park bcd of the chateau I found the Maestro taking his morning smoke and reading the Figaro. I drew one of the big wicker chairs into the shade near him and reminded him of his promise to tell me some of his experiences in America.
"I was engaged in Florence," he began, "by Servadio, for an opera season in Mexico to sing the principal rôles. Both Nanmi and Madam D'Angri were to be in the company. I came up to Paris and then to Havre to set sail for New York. We were expected to sail on the steamer Austria, but by some mischance our berths were not engaged for us, and our place on the steamer had been taken. Fortunately, the North Star was to sail a few days later and we immediately engaged passage. We arrived safely in New York, and some of our friends embraced us with tears rolling down their cheeks. When we inquired the cause of this unusual demonstrating, we learned that the Austria had gone down with all on board, and as we were expected to sail on that boat it seems to our friends, who thought we were at the bottom of the sea, almost like spirits rising from the sea.
"Meanwhile, between the time of the collecting of the company in Italy and our arrival in New York, a revolution had broken out in Mexico and the theatre was closed. Max Maretzek told me about it and gave me an engagement with his company. I made my début on 14th St. in "Lucia," with Garzia as "Lucia." The same season I sang in New York at the operatic début of Patti.
"After that season I went to Havana for three or four consecutive seasons and then for one season I went to Mexico, the revolution having been settled. From Mexico I went to California, where we produced, among other things, Meyerbeer's 'prophète' with a ballet from Europe and with costume and scenery of unusual magnificence. We also sang the repertoire of the lighter works, "Sonnabula." "Traviata,' etc. I afterwards arranged a company for California myself, to open the Academy of Music in Montgomery St., San Francisco. The theatre was managed by a rich gambler named Maguire—a man of wealth and influence—although a gambler.
"You would find traveling in America very different now," I remarked. "I imagine it was none too comfortable then."
"Indeed, it was not, but nevertheless, we had happy times and many amusing episodes. When we went to Mexico we went to Vera Cruz by boat. From there to the City of Mexico we went by diligence, taking five days for the trip. During the third day's journey we were waylaid by brigands and robbed of every cent we possessed. When I reached the City of Mexico I owned just the clothes I had on and nothing more. I remember very distinctly the chief of the brigands. He was a tall, fine looking man, beautifully dressed and treated us in a most courtly manner, assuring us that he was not a thief, but a gentleman, who simply relieved people of unnecessary baggage—but he took the money all the same. In both of my trips to Mexico I was robbed by these gentlemanly brigands."
The Maestro resumed his cigarette and was silent for a long time. It was evident from his face that he was no longer living in the present, but lingering in the shadow of the past. One by one the great singers of that day flitted before his memory and he saw them and himself once move amid their triumphs hard won and well deserved, because of their great knowledge of the bel canto.
The sun was beating down upon the chateau across the lawn and the trees seems to shrivel silently under its withering rays. The Maestro moved his chair further back into the shadow of the trees, lighted another cigarette and awoke form his reverie. "Ah! but there were some fine singers in those days," he mused. "There was Gazaniga, dramatic soprano; Gazia, lyric soprano; Adelaide Phillips, contralto; D'Angri, contralto; Berthoud, who was Maretzek's wife; Amodio, a baritone with a magnificent voice; Brignoli, tenor; Madam Parodi, dramatic soprano; Susini, bass; Madam La Borde, lyric soprano; Madam Colson, soprano; Steffani, tenor; Mazzoleni, tenor, and many others. Then was was Carlotta Patti, who had a most exquisite voice extending to A in alt. It was even a better voice than Adelina's. Unfortunately, Carlotta had one leg shorter than the others, and limped painfully when she walked. Of course, with this deformity it was impossible for her to sing on the operatic stage. This was such a great disappointment to her and her family that an Italian doctor in New York by the name of Cecherini arranged some kind of a contrivance that strapped to her knee and which enabled her to walk without limping. Carlotta tried it in private with success, and believed she could appear on the stage. It was arranged that she should appear in 'Sonnambula' and she got through two acts, but at the end of the second act she fainted in my arms. The strain had been too great for her nerves, and she had to give up her hope of singing in opera. It was a great pity, for her voice was beautiful.
"Another excellent singer was Errani, the tenor. His voice was not large, but very good and he afterward became a excellent singing teacher in New York.
"Still another that I remember was Stiegel, who sang the tenor rôle in the 'Jewess' splendidly. Ardavana, the baritone, had a very fine voice and the two Barillis were good singers."
"Tell me something about the personality and habits of some of the singers," I asked.
"That reminds me of Steffani," he laughed. "Steffani had a dramatic tenor voice of great power and beauty. Every night when he sang at the opera he drank two or three bottles of Bordeaux wine during the performance. Every time he came off the stage and between the acts he made straight for his bottle, so that frequently at the end of the opera he was quite drunk.
"Mario, the tenor, had a most charming voice, not large but of most beautiful quality and he sang with great style and finish. Such airs as 'Spirto Gentil' from 'Favorita' he sang exquisitely, and people often flocked to the theatre just in time to hear him sing this one song. He used to sing in 'piano' with an exquisite quality of voice. He was such an inveterate smoke that he had a cigar in his teeth the last moment before he went on the stage and every moment between the acts. As for me," he added, "I smoked very little, and on the days I sang I dined about three o'clock and need drank anything at the theatre expect occasionally some weak coffee, when my throat felt dry; but I always swallowed a couple of raw eggs between the acts and found them very beneficial."
A Unique Performance of "Martha"
"Do you remember singing in Boston," I asked.
"Oh, yes, and I remember a very amusing performance of 'Martha' that we gave there once. Uhlman, the director, told us one day that we would sing Martha the next night. We all knew the opera, but I could only sing it in Italian, La Borde could only sing it in French, Philips sang her part in English, and Karl Formes sang in German. But, strange to say, it had a great success.
"That reminds me of Formes. He had an extraordinary voice of such enormous size that he never could control it properly and often sang flat. His voice was never properly schooled and he never sang his exercises to keep in good form, and when he sang he became so interested in his part that the emission of his voice never occurred to him. In the opera of 'Martha,' Formes, who had an extraordinary breath power, used to hold the low E at the end of the run in the 'Drinking Song,' it seems like five minutes, while he went around among the chorus clinking glasses with the men and chucking the ladies under the chin. The effect was irresistible.
That afternoon I was sitting under the trees reading, when I saw Mons. Sbriglia approaching with a merry smile on his face. As he approached he began—"Did I ever tell you how I saved Maretzek one night? You see, I was a very useful tenor for a manager, for I knew nearly forty operas, and being possessed of an exceptionally retentive memory, I could sing nearly every one without a rehearsal. It was so easy for me to learn an opera that I could commit one to memory on a train.
"I arrived in New York for a season in Havana one afternoon, and as I went up to town to the house where I usually stayed, I saw by the bills that Medora and Mazzolini were to sing 'Il Trovatore' that evening.
"I was very anxious to hear this famous tenor in the part of Manrico, so after my dinner I went over to the theatre and took my place in a box. Mazzolini was in a very bad voice, and at the end of the first act his voice failed him and it was evident that he could not go on. Maretzek had seen me in the box and he came running in in great tribulation and begged me to come and finish the opera and save him from ruin. There was a theatre full of people and to turn them away and pay back the money meant financial ruin to him. "I will pay you a thousand dollars if you will come and sing the rest of the opera," he said. So I went to the dressing room and put on the costume and sang the rest of the opera. But, I have never received the thousand dollars. One time I saved Uhlman in the same way. Brignoli broke down in the opera and was unable to go on. Uhlman gave me six hunted dollars to finish the opera. That was a very large sum for those days, and I actually got the money.
"Ah! those were indeed great days, for the art of singing, for nearly all the artist were trained in the good old school. But it was a poor business, for we had to sing for months sometimes to make what can now be made in one night. In those days there were more good singers, and it was a lesson to students to attend the theatre and hear the artist sing, for they sang the legato style, which was the glory of the bel canto. This was true partly because the music they sang was of a kind that had to be sung and not declaimed, the music of Mozart, Rossini, Donizetti, Cimarosa and Bellini. But with the advent of the music of Verdi and Wagner it was no longer necessary to sing, and the artists simply had to declaim over the accompaniment of a large orchestra, so that the beautiful effects,—the nuances of singing—which were its chief beauty, were impossible for the singer. The delicate action of the voice is just as necessary for its beauty as for its preservation. Whoever cannot sing piano is not an artist. I remember very well the great tenor Fraschini, one of the greatest artists of his time. He had a glorious natural voice, which he constantly forced. One night he went to the theatre and heard the tenor Basodonna sing 'Spirto Gentil' in 'La Favorita.' He was so captivated by the singer's beautiful quality of voice that he retired from the stage for six months and practiced daily on this one air, singing each phrase over and over again, the fior di labbri (the flower of the lips). He then returned to the stage and became one of the leading tenors in the world."
"Ah!" he said, "I sometimes think the days of the bel canto are over. People no longer have time to study long enough to master this great and beautiful art." And the Maestro sauntered away shaking his head.

Santa Fe is renowned as a food-lovers heaven, with New Mexican cuisine leading as Archangel. The food is spicy, vibrant, flavorful and oh-so-delicious. The quality, whether New Mexican or standard American fare, is outstanding. Could it be the altitude? On my first visit in January, I commented to a friend that the salads tasted alive and fresh–the colors brighter, the taste crisper. New Mexico is known as The Land of Enchantment, and my friend joked in return to my comment on the salads that it's really The Land of Euphoria. And perhaps that's somewhat true. No matter the reason, the food journey in Santa Fe and beyond is truly a euphoric adventure not to miss.
Diners enjoy lunch at The Shed.
One taste of the green chile sauce and my taste buds went numb. After that, nothing seemed very spicy. I asked the waiter, "Which sauce is hotter: red or green?" He responded that most folks think the red sauce is spicier. The green sauce was deep and hearty while the red sauce had a smoky flavor to it. Both were delicious and I was happy my friends recommended I order my meals "Christmas," so I could sample both flavors.

But before I seared my taste buds, there was the salad. Perhaps the best salad I've had. Maybe it's the closeness to the sun, a longer growing season, or even the local availability of fresh produce, but the lettuce was vibrant and crisp. Top it with blue cheese, walnuts, Kalamata olives and a balsamic vinaigrette, and it's near perfection.

A blend of New Mexican and Mom's home cooking waits for you at the Plaza Café. Whether you're craving blue corn pancakes, a salad, New Mexican food or down-home comfort foods, the Plaza Café has them all. After a 16-hour train ride, I was craving something soothing, and the Cafe's Original Chicken Fried Steak delightfully filled the need.

After a long morning walking the Plaza in Santa Fe, a friend and I popped into Tia Sophia's. We were greeted like family, which I later learned is common practice at this humble, yet delightful restaurant. The restaurant serves breakfast and lunch, closing at 2 p.m. each day. We split the Polo Adovado, chicken marinated and simmered in a rich red sauce, and ordered their huge, fluffy sopaipillas for dipping. My friend mentioned the breakfast burritos are worth a second trip back. I have it on my to-do list as this unintimidating restaurant serves top-notch New Mexican fare.

The Amtrak train from Lamy to Albuquerque was delayed six hours, so I decided to take the New Mexico Rail Runner Express instead. The train was departing earlier than I'd planned, so my friend Patty agreed to pick me up and treat me to some Santa Fe "fast" food on the way to the station. While a hot dog and cornmeal donuts aren't the healthiest foods, they made for a delightful meal as we rushed to meet the train.

After two days exploring Northern New Mexico and Santa Fe, my sister and I were ready to celebrate the premiere of the new magazine I had just launched into Santa Fe. The party was that evening, so we decided to treat ourselves to a more expensive dinner than usual. The Bull Ring rang true as a prime steakhouse.

My friend, showing me around town, gushed, "We have to eat at Tomasita's. It's the best in Santa Fe. And their margaritas are fantastic!" On another trip, when a different friend said Tia Sophia's in the best in Santa Fe, I told him about the first friend's revelation. He said, "They have great margaritas. After a few of those, no one cares if the food is good or not." While I enjoyed my meal at Tomasita's that evening, after just one of those famous margaritas, I forgot to take a picture of my dinner. While everyone has a different opinion on which restaurant is the best, I can vouch that it was a mighty fine margarita.
It was one those 300-some-odd days of sunshine a year in Santa Fe, so my sister and I decided to take the "high road to Taos" and visit Chimayo and some pueblos and churches along the way. Luckily we were flexible with our plans as we didn't have a map and were relying on GPS on my phone to navigate. It never occurred to us that we might lose cell service in the mountains–and thus our navigation. Though we had a gorgeous detour while "lost," we eventually made it to our ultimate destination: Rancho de Chimayo.

Between the altitude and the longer-than-expected drive, we were both hungry when we arrived. Since my sister was driving, I indulged in a glass of wine. Rancho de Chimayo served up my favorite meal of the trip.

I have yet to have a sub-par meal in Northern New Mexico. My advice: try it all, order the sauce on the side if you're not sure of the heat in the chiles and take advantage of all the opportunities for walking on the Plaza and in nature to burn off some of the calories. You'll need it.

Judge Rules In Favor Of Allowing Vote To Form Eagle's Landing
A referendum on forming Eagle's Landing is scheduled for November.

A Henry County judge denied Stockbridge's attempt to stop some citizens from voting on forming the new city of Eagle's Landing.
A referendum on forming the proposed city is still scheduled for November. Judge Arch McGarity listened to both sides for about two hours before making his decision.
Eagle's Landing would take land from the existing city of Stockbridge. Stockbridge sued Henry County asking a judge to delay the November vote.
Tim Tanner, an attorney representing Eagle's Landing, said the judge's ruling is a positive start.
"We believe we have a strong case," Tanner said. "We believe these bills are constitutional but at the end of the day the voters will decide what they want to do."
Stockbridge Mayor Anthony Ford said he's disappointed by the ruling but remained upbeat.
"I'm optimistic," Ford said. "100 percent confident. We're going to win this for the citizens of Stockbridge. Wholeheartedly."
Ford said they do plan to appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court.


sometimes, a patient can not feel the presence of a caries until the cavity is getting bigger and causing discomfort. like this case, i found a deep and big hidden proximal cavity, and an overhanging filling on adjacent molar. after taking a proper informed consent, i started my dental treatment as follows.
in this case, i only use one shade (body shade) with color modifier to mimic the fissure..

I used my mobile phone in the car one time when it was legal, for a call that I thought couldn't wait. I was sitting at a stop light, so I figured it would be OK. I was put on hold, and when the light turned green, I sat there.
Although I saw the green light, my brain was giving its attention to the phone call. A driver coming behind me had to slam on his brakes to avoid a collision. Cellphones don't belong in cars.
I recently volunteered at Long Beach's John C. Fremont Elementary and witnessed dedicated teachers going above and beyond — just as the school's website claims.
One teacher planned a Mother's Day celebration for her students and their mothers, spending substantial amounts of her own time and money to buy gifts, food and photographs of the kids. Other wonderful teachers buttonholed parents and other volunteers to enrich their students with extra music, reading, science, math and individual tutoring. I also saw amazing parents working every day, raising money for the unique science and computer labs and organizing field trips, the Science Fair, the Spring Carnival and other events.
Fremont is led by a highly competent and friendly staff headed by a widely respected principal, who I saw regularly greeting students and parents as they arrived at school.
In 2012, Fremont achieved an "A" on the Academic Performance Index — California's measure of academic achievement. But equally important, Fremont teaches its diverse student population the values of our great country: cooperation, leadership, empathy, personal responsibility and patriotism.
Can we provide this high quality of education to all our children? Well, of course we can. We are American!
When Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination for president and promised to "fundamentally change America," I saw red flags. When I researched his past and discovered who his mentors and financial backers were, I was horrified.
Now the chickens have come home to roost. Fundamental change to Obama didn't mean that he wanted to change the incestuous good ol' boy network of special-interest groups that have long held sway in Washington.
Fundamental change to him meant a rejection of the very fabric that has held this country together for 200 years. He meant a rejection of the Constitution as an outdated code of negative rules that prevents government from acting in what it perceives as the best interest of its citizens.
In Obama's world, the law is whatever he and his cronies say it is. Not a day goes by that we aren't subjected to a new scandal emanating from the Obama administration.
When 90 percent of Americans want the bipartisan Toomey-Manchin gun control proposal to pass, but it doesn't, lawmakers take a hit. It shouldn't surprise anyone the public's confidence in Congress has slumped to an all-time low of 10 percent, according to the Gallup Poll. If congressional members want to raise their approval numbers, they need to figure out ways to come together and do the people's work. Isn't that why we elected them in first place?

How To Deal With Sibling Rivalry: Build Happy and Healthy Sibling Relationships
Sibling fights and tantrums are stressful for moms/parents
Although we may dream of conflict-free kids, sibling fights and rivalries can be the reality. In fact, the average family reports up to seven conflicts between kiddos per hour! Sound familiar? You're not alone. Chances are you're worried about keeping the peace in your home — especially if you're expecting a new baby.
Understand why siblings fight, plus solutions to keep outbursts at bay and how to prepare your child for a newborn.
Why do siblings fight with each other?
Even if think you can't handle one more outburst, sibling rivalry psychology offers some encouragement. Not only is it normal, sibling conflict is a natural, important part of growing up!
Says Adele Faber in her book Siblings Without Rivalry, "Take two kids in competition for their parents' love and attention. Add to that the envy that one child feels for the accomplishments of the other, the resentment that each child feels for the privileges of the other . . . and it's not hard to understand why in families across the land, the sibling relationship contains enough emotional dynamite to set off rounds of daily explosions."
But it doesn't have to be this way.
How you handle sibling rivalry should depend on your oldest child's developmental stage. Brenda L. Volling, author and Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan, explains why.
For example, "the 18-month-old is still dealing with attachment issues, the 3-year-old may be in the midst of toilet training, and the 5-year-old may be getting ready to start kindergarten," writes Dr. Volling. "It would not be surprising, then, to learn that once the infant sibling was born, the 18-month-old started clinging to mother and protesting separation, the 3-year-old started having toileting accidents, and the 5-year-old started refusing to go to school."
For the smallest of big siblings (3 and younger), "this is by far the hardest time for the firstborn to accept a new baby," says Fran Walfish, Psy.D., in The Self-Aware Parent. Some express frustration right away. Others throw tantrums when the baby becomes mobile and grab their sibling's toys. Little ones may also respond with regression. For example, your toddler may happily use a sippy cup — but whine for a bottle when he sees the attention his bottle-fed baby sister is getting.
Big kids (ages 4 and older) can be more understanding about the baby. With school, playdates and activities, their world is widening. But with less attention from Mom than he's used to, he could fear he's being left behind. While it's exciting to be a big brother, it's hard to share Mom for the first time.
For kids of any age, introducing a new baby to the home will require patience and love on the part of parents.
How do you stop a sibling from being jealous?
Sibling rivalry doesn't have to mean 24/7 conflict. Regardless of your child's age, take these steps to minimize jealousy:
Affirm how your child feels.
"Instead of dismissing negative feelings about a sibling, acknowledge the feelings," Adele Faber says. For example, rather than explaining to your child that he already had alone time with Mommy and now the baby needs attention, rephrase: It's frustrating sometimes when Mommy has to hold the baby, or even, You didn't choose to be a big brother. It's hard sometimes. Acknowledging his feelings is step one in changing his attitude. As a parent, this can be hard to do, but it really works.
Schedule intentional, focused one-on-one time with your older kiddo every day.
A little togetherness reminds the big brother that he's still so loved. Be extra-generous with hugs and kisses. Even running errands together can be meaningful. And call in reinforcements! It's a great time for a favorite aunt or uncle to spend quality time with your older child.
Handle inevitable tantrums with understanding.
Tantrums are your child's way of telling you that something in their world feels out of control. What they need most is a calm, comforting response. Equip your child with words to communicate those complicated feelings: You felt really sad when you saw daddy and me giving the baby a bath. Next time you feel sad, come talk to us first. As we can attest, responding to a tantrum with heightened emotions rarely accomplishes anything.
Like we're told on every flight, put on your own oxygen mask first. Especially in times of tension and stress, do what you can to prioritize self-care. You'll have more energy and joy to share with your kiddos.
How to prepare siblings for your new baby
There are things you can do before your new baby arrives to keep sibling rivalry at bay. Here are some smart strategies to get siblings ready to welcome the baby:
Tell your child about the baby when you start telling your friends.
Even if sworn to secrecy, well-meaning friends could let it slip and ask your child about being a new big sister. The news should come directly from you.
Make any big changes well before the baby is born.
Big life changes, like potty training or moving from a crib to a bed, are hard enough without a new baby in the mix. For as much stability as possible, try to complete major changes two months before the baby arrives.
Paint a realistic picture of what life will look like with the new baby.
Frame expectations early: the baby will mostly eat and sleep, and won't be a playmate at first. Read age-appropriate books about pregnancy, birth and baby siblings with your child. A good favorite is I'm a Big Sister (and its companion I'm a Big Brother) by Joanna Cole. If possible, visit friends with a baby for a real-world experience.
Reminisce about what it was like when they were a newborn.
Look at baby pictures with your older child. Share how excited you were when they were born, and how everyone wanted to see them and hold them. If you have a sibling, share how you felt: I felt happy when your Aunt Chrissy arrived, but it was hard to learn how to share your Grandma. Or if you're the younger one, it can be fun for your child to chat with their aunt or uncle about your own arrival!
Offer age-appropriate ways for your child to help get ready for the baby.
For example, a younger child can choose the baby's coming home outfit from two acceptable options. Older ones can pick storybooks to read to the baby. Many kids enjoy shopping for a special gift "from them" to give to the baby.
Whether you're trying to diffuse disagreements between older kids, or plan a smooth transition with a newborn, sibling rivalry doesn't have to be the norm. With the right strategies, you can keep the peace in your home and help your kids thrive. Before you know it, they'll be laughing, playing and make a mess together! Enjoy it!

What Writers Owe To Themselves
Writers—Do you do some of your best thinking in the shower? Typically, my best ideas come to me at the most inopportune moments when I do not have paper and pencil handy, like when I'm commuting or observing something with a cart full of groceries or taking a walk through the neighborhood. Sometimes the creative juices flow when I'm not prepared to greet them, much in the same way a hostess of a party who is still in sweats and inappropriately dressed as her first guest rings the doorbell is not ready.
These creative juices are important, and if we are lucky, they flow directly and consistently into our writing, which led me to this morning's thought.
What do we, as writers, owe to ourselves?
Admittedly, while it would be nice to be regarded as the Hemingway of our generation or be as prolific a writer as Nora Roberts, I think that what we owe to ourselves more than anything is to tell a story for which we feel some passion, and tell it well.
Tell the story, feel something for it, and tell it well. For the love of it.
The most successful authors believe in their work, are validated by what they write, and are compelled to communicate this creativity to readers. Markus Zusak, author of The Book Thief, said, when asked about his novel, "The thing to remember is I thought nobody would read the book—a 500-page book set in Nazi Germany, the narrator is 'Death,' you think, how do you recommend that to your friends? I thought no one's going to read this. I thought, well, I might as well do this exactly how I want to do it, and follow my own vision for the book, and write in exactly the style I want. That's when it really took off. So, I think half of writing a book is just forgetting that there is even a world that exists beyond the book." His commentary is spot on, and a good piece of advice to remember when we write.
What do readers want? Readers want to be entertained, they want to be connected to the characters, and they want to feel something for the work when they close the book.
We owe it to them to tell the best story we can.
It takes a special type of person to write—and write continually—especially when we don't know if five people or five million people will read our work. I've said it a hundred times to students, to book talk attendees, and to people who ask me why I write, and my answer is always the same: because I have a story to tell, and ultimately, feel moved enough to tell it. Sometimes, it doesn't matter how many people pick it up, but rather that those who choose to read it enjoy it.
As recording artist Sam Smith says in his song "Money On My Mind,"
I don't have money on my mind.
I do it for the love.
We owe that to ourselves.

Dubai, April 26, 2008 - ETA Star Properties, a leading property developer in the UAE, today announced the launch of VERDE Residences and Offices in Dubai Maritime City. The AED 4 billion two-tower VERDE Residences and Offices, designed to achieve a Gold rating as provided by the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) programme, will be built in Dubai Maritime City, near Port Rashid, Dubai.
Designed by celebrity architects Mr. Adrian Smith and Mr. Gordon Gill of Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, VERDE Residences and Offices establish a new international standard for sustainable, high-performance building design. The towers are shaped to harness power from natural forces at the building site. Each building incorporates both new technologies and latent systems, including integrated wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, geothermal technologies, efficient building facades and recyclable construction materials to dramatically reduce energy consumption.
Dr. R. K. Pachauri, renowned environment scientist, co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize and Chairman, Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), graced the official launch event of VERDE Residences and Offices. Mr. Adrian Smith and Mr. Gordon Gill also attended the event.
The project consists of one residential tower and one commercial tower.
The trapezoidal shaped 33- level VERDE Office tower includes unique sky gardens, which emphasize outdoor space and the open nature of the building. The tower includes podium offices and has a total built-up area of 820,000 square feet.
The VERDE Residence tower recalls the form of a boat, elegantly referencing its location in the Maritime City. The 48 storey glass tower, with a total built-up area of 1.35 million square feet, includes luxurious 2 & 3 bedroom units, 3 & 4 bedroom penthouses and 4 bedroom duplex townhouses in the podium facing the harbour.
Commenting on the launch of VERDE Residences and Offices, Dr. R.K. Pachauri said: "It gives me immense pleasure to be a part of the launch of VERDE Residences and Offices. I am happy that ETA Star Properties have shown the industry the direction towards working on projects that maintain equilibrium in the environment we live and operate in. I must appreciate the efforts of Dubai Maritime City in promoting sustainable development. Let the launch of VERDE lead to setting of a benchmark for many similar projects in this region."
Mr. Abid Junaid, Executive Director, ETA Star said "The name VERDE has its roots in Spanish, which means green. It is rather apt that we have named our first Green project thus. Besides aiming for a Gold-certified Green building, VERDE will provide the best of amenities for both working and living. We are happy to state that this launch is in line with Dubai Maritime City's vision of sustainable development and to create a unique environment for the global maritime community."
Mr. Adrian Smith and Mr. Gordon Gill, the Chief Architects of the towers said, "It's been a privilege to design these towers- sustainable buildings are truly a first step towards a greener, healthier world. We've designed the Verde towers to exist in harmony with their environment and to perform at a very high level. The energy produced by the towers reduces carbon emissions equivalent to planting approximately 600,000 trees or removing 680 cars off the road yearly."
As part of a self sustained Green community, VERDE Offices and Residences will use a district cooling system, wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, solar hot water collectors, energy efficient lighting equipment and a grey water system.

FL Seeks All-Year Daylight Saving Time
3/9/2018 | 6:27 AM CST
PLANTATION, Fla. (AP) -- Florida and most of the nation will spring ahead Sunday, moving clocks up one hour to observe daylight saving time — but if Sunshine State legislators get their way, Floridians won't be falling back.
By overwhelming, bipartisan majorities, the normally fractious Florida Senate and House this week adopted a bill that would make their state the first to adopt year-round daylight saving time. That would mean later sunrises and sunsets from November to March, peak tourist season for many beach cities. If Gov. Rick Scott signs it, the plan would still need congressional approval. That likely means it wouldn't happen until 2019 at the earliest, if ever.
Sen. Greg Steube, the lead sponsor, said Floridians are tired of going "back and forth" and changing their clocks, internal and external, twice a year. The Sarasota Republican also says the "Sunshine Protection Act " could boost the economy as winter sunsets would be about 6:30 p.m., not 5:30. That might create more post-work shopping and tourists might stay later at theme parks and beaches.
"It just seems silly to me that as a country we are bumping back and forth because the reason is completely irrelevant," said Steube, who recently announced he will run for Congress. He promised to sponsor federal legislation carrying out the change if elected.
But adopting year-round daylight time would mean some downsides for Florida too. From early November until early March, when it's noon in Eastern cities like Atlanta, Washington, New York, Boston and Moose River, Maine, it would be 1 p.m. in most of Florida, possibly causing confusion. The Panhandle is on Central time, so during the winter Pensacola and its neighbors would be on Eastern time.
Also, for almost half the school year thousands more children would go to school in the dark. From December into February, the sun wouldn't rise until about 8 a.m. in Miami, 8:20 in Tampa and Jacksonville and 8:30 in Tallahassee and only a bit earlier in late November and early March. If schools start later, that would mean more parents rushing to reach work on time.
Andrea Messina, executive director of the Florida School Boards Association, said the group hasn't taken an official position but is concerned about the bill's effect on students and expects it would lead to districts reconsidering start times.
But insurance broker Jack Auran called the proposed change "sweet."
"I play basketball after work. More light means we can play and I don't have to leave the office early," Auran said.
Barry University student Kameron Milan said he lived in Arizona, which has year-round standard time, which he liked, but "it doesn't make that much of a difference, it's so minor."
"It is kinda nice when you get that extra hour of sleep when the time falls back, but you pay for it in the spring," Milan said.
Nationwide daylight saving time began 100 years ago during World War I. During the long days of summer, the sun rose in some Northern regions between 4 and 5 a.m., when most non-farmers were asleep. Sunset happened before 8 p.m. and people turned on lights. By moving the clocks ahead an hour, backers believed the country could divert a bit of coal-fired electricity to the military instead of using it for an hour of home power. It was again adopted in World War II.
After each war, Congress rescinded the national laws but many people liked the extra hour of sunshine at the end of summer days, so some states and even cities observed daylight time while others kept standard time year-round. That meant driving relatively short distances could result in a time change or three.
By 1966, airlines and other clock-watching businesses tired of such quirks and pushed Congress to pass the Uniform Time Act. It codified daylight saving time, although it has been periodically modified, particularly the start and end dates. The only states not observing daylight time are Hawaii and Arizona except for the latter's Navajo reservations, which do.
Florida is not the first state to consider quitting the time-change game — but sometimes the search for money and God intervenes.
Lawmakers in the New England states last year considered jointly adopting year-round daylight time but critics said putting Boston and New York City in different time zones would play havoc with financial markets. That got the idea shelved until the unlikely event New York hops onboard.
Texas came close to adopting year-round standard time, but some lawmakers realized Dallas Cowboys road games against their New York, Philadelphia and Washington rivals would then sometimes begin at 11 Sunday mornings. Not wanting to force Texans to choose between church and football, two pillars of Lone Star culture, the Legislature punted.

Q: How to use webshot with meteor I've installed webshot package and meteor webshot smart package from: https://github.com/TimHeckel/meteor-webshot
In the directory pacages/webshot/lib/webshot.js there is definition of WEBSHOT object.
In the default meteor application I want to use this object to get the snapshot as show in the second step from the link above:
Template.hello.events({
'click input' : function () {
  var _image = "myscreenshot.png";
  var _res =  WEBSHOT.snap("http://google.com", "public/exports~/" + _image, {
    screenSize: {
        width: 300
        , height: 300
      }
    });

}

});
When I click on the button I have an exception:
Uncaught ReferenceError: WEBSHOT is not defined.
Command:

meteor list

show webshot package, where do I need to include this package to get this working?

A: The WEBSHOT object is available only on the server side. See this line in package.js.
To use it, you need to create a method on the server with Meteor.methods, use WEBSHOT inside it and then call this method from your event handler.

A: Hubert OG is right, this package is server-side only.
However, it hasn't been updated in 5 months, so it looks like it's not up to date with the latest "linker" of Meteor which is a feature that appeared in 0.6.5 if I remember well.
You need to git clone the package in your local packages directory.
(you may need to "meteor remove" the previous package and "meteor add" the new one).
Then modify package.js so that it looks like this :
Package.on_use(function (api) {
    api.add_files("lib/webshot.js", "server");
    api.export("WEBSHOT","server");
});

From Meteor 0.6.5, you need to explicitly specify which symbols from the package are exported to the global namespace, because the package code is executed inside a closure.

A: I had the same problem so I added a new Meteor wrapper using the latest version of node-webshot: https://atmospherejs.com/bryanmorgan/webshot.
You should be able to get it working using:
meteor add bryanmorgan:webshot

And then the same API as node-webshot:
webshot("http://google.com", "/tmp/google.png", function (err) {
    // screenshot saved to /tmp/google.png
});


Hello Carolina, I'm curious if you've ever shipped TV's through your service before or are they too big of an item?
A lot of TVs now are multi-voltage and will work on 240V.
I have had a look and I can't find anyone who has ordered a TV. The problem apart from size and voltage differences is the digital TV system is different in the USA too compared to Australia.
The difference between USA TV's and Australian TV's is that the USA and Japan use the NTSC and Australia, Africa, NZ and Western Europe use the PAL system.
More recently all electrical equipment like DVD players, or TV etc in Australia all have the options of switching between both; so no argument there about system use.
As far as shippiong goes, well eveyone from Harvey Norman to the small electrical shop around the corner in your country town all ship TV's from China, USA, Korea etc, and unless the shipping container is dropped 40 metres at the dock - they all arrive OK and work.
The voltage - USA uses 110-volts, Europe - 220-volts and we all know Australia uses 240-volts. I'm sure that different brands don't manufacture different insides to suit a country (too expensive), they step-down inverters or step-up, it all depends which country it goes to. Like electric shavers, laptop recharging - when people travel O/S.
I would have no concern on buying a TV, DVD player, Laptop, IPad/Pod from the US either.
I hope that this has allayed any concerns.
