AH&LA pledges $500,000 grant to Grads of Life
Grads of Life
The American Hotel & Lodging Association presented nonprofit career development organization Grads of Life with a commitment to provide $500,000 in grants to community-based organizations to recruit and develop "opportunity youth" in high-demand markets, such as Washington D.C.; Los Angeles; Chicago; and Baltimore. U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta joined Lugar and Grads of Life principal Shawn Jacqueline Bohen to announce this investment.
Currently, 6 million young people—"opportunity youth"—are between the ages of 16 to 24, and out of school and out of work. Connecting them to potential employers is an important step in securing their future. The hospitality industry has some 600,000 job openings and this grant commitment will help fill a critical labor shortage in the long-term by joining with community-based organizations to attract youth for careers in the hospitality industry. This grant, provided to Grads of Life, a nationally recognized leader in working with employers to bring Opportunity Youth into the workplace, the funding needed to help the industry impact 1,000 youth over a two-year period.
On the heels of the Apprenticeship Task Force announcement, the U.S. Department of Labor is working closely with the hotel industry to help close the skills gap and provide our nation's youth with meaningful and impactful careers.
The event, in conjunction with the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Foundation, is part of AHLA's Empowering Youth Project, an initiative of the industry's Dreams Happen Here campaign, a national awareness effort to showcase career advancement opportunities, community commitment, and economic importance of hotel and lodging businesses to every city and state across America.
"This administration is committed to unlocking more opportunities for Americans to get the family-sustaining jobs they deserve," Acosta said in a statement. "I thank the American Hotel & Lodging Association and Grads of Life for working together to bring young people into the hospitality industry. We need more programs like these so that young people can have avenues for advancement, including apprenticeships."
"The hotel industry supports more than 8 million jobs in the United States, and this grant is another step in our continued commitment to creating opportunity and economic mobility by investing in our workforce," Katherine Lugar, president and CEO of AHLA, said in a statement. "We commend Secretary Acosta for taking a leadership role in prioritizing apprenticeships which are critical to career development. By partnering with the Labor Department and Grads of Life, we are taking a meaningful step to close that jobs gap and provide our nation's youth with the skills to launch long, prosperous careers in the hotel industry."
"At Grads of Life, we work each day to match employers in need of talent with innovative solutions that also provide Opportunity Youth with the skills and access necessary for meaningful career pathways," Elyse Rosenblum, principal of Grads of Life, said in a statement. "AHLA's grant commitments and partnership with the Department of Labor will help advance our mission to close the Opportunity Divide and aid countless young people looking to gain stable employment in the hotel industry."

Nobodies: Murder Cleaner is a Point-and-Click, Hidden Object, and Single-player Puzzle video game developed by Blyts. The beautiful romance of different genres come with outstanding gameplay that you may have never experienced before. In the game, you are neither a detective nor a cop, but your duty is almost the same as a detective with a few changes. The high-quality graphics will keep you engaged for endless hours of fun while taking you through different scenes to navigate for the completion of missions.
Furthermore, the game introduces a friendly user-interface that features a briefcase at the right-top-corner of the screen. When playing the game, you can add hidden objects to your briefcase to use later. Besides that, you're not only supposed to find hidden objects, because analyzing the clues and solving a mystery are your ultimate goals to complete.
There are thirteen different missions available, and each one comes with a unique plot and a series of items you have to collect. Instead of featuring you investigating the murder case, the game throws you to the scene with the task of clearing up the mess spread by a Hitman.
As the name implies, the game brings a deadliest role for you to assume. You don't have too many options, as you are limited to be a murder cleaner only. For sure, you may have played dozens of Hidden Object games as a detective I guess, but playing the game as a Murder Cleaner isn't a cup of cake. Seriously, I found the game tough to play and praised the great work of the developers.
I started the game with nothing, except for the knowledge of how to play Hidden Object video games. The tutorial level helps me a lot to understand how the game works. The graphics and sound are immersive, and the game introduces different scenes for each level. You don't need to worry regarding scoring points, because the game lacks that system.
Nobodies: Murder Cleaner features thirteen thrilling cases; each one tasks you with disposing of the bodies, and remove all evidence so no one can catch you. As the game starts you find yourself on a terrace where you find a deadly and some other items you can use to dispose of the body.
The game increases the difficulty level as you reach the next scene. The first level comes with basic difficulty which increases gradually. The plot revolves around Hitman who needs someone to clear up the mess behind him after taking out the targets.
Many players find becoming a detective to solve murder cases bored; therefore, they want to be cleaner. Being a cleaner your job is to clear the mess left by Hitman, and remove all evidence to secure your boss. In the game, you work as a cleaner in a secret government counter-terrorist agency that tasks you with disposing of bodies, removing evidence, and leaving no clue behind you pointing toward you.
The game brings a beautiful mix of Point-and-Click, Puzzle, and Adventure game elements wherein making use of wit is compulsory, because it is only your weapon. When playing the game, you have to make sure two times that the actions of your employers remain undiscovered. So you should help your employers in taking out key members of a terrorist organization on revealing experimental bioweapons across the land. During the game, you deal with three major things as follows:
Leave no dead bodies and evidence behind you
All levels are beautifully hand-crafted, offering you an amazing feel and brilliant scene. You explore the environment from the perspective of the protagonist, who is a cleaner. As a hitman's companion, you should go through each level thoroughly, find evidence to remove and find a way to dispose of the dead body of the targeted person.
Leaving any clue means you will be caught soon. Keep your ears on doors and keeps on clues and evidence. Remove everything that can create difficulties for you. Playing Nobodies: Murder Cleaner isn't as easy as you are considering; therefore, Walkthroughs.net jumps in to help you by introducing Nobodies: Murder Cleaner Walkthrough Guide.
Keep your focus on finding hidden objects and clues that you can use to hide the body so no one can find them. When playing the game, neither you're a cop nor a detective, but work in their footsteps. Find hidden objects and add them to your inventory to use later.
The game doesn't feature any time limit or a system that makes a deduction upon finding invalid taps on the screen. If you find the game difficult to play, then follow Nobodies Murder Cleaner Walkthrough to complete each level without any hassle.
Your first mission takes place on a terrace where you have to hide a body before the arrival of security guards or police. The game doesn't feature too much mess on the terrace; therefore, you have a chance to learn how to deal with dead bodies and items available near it.

You should tap the briefcase to open it up and select the item you need to proceed with the story in the forwarding direction.
Goal: Your ultimate goal revolves around the disposal of the body in such a way that no one can't possibly discover it, without having casualties. During missions, you can use a pager to receive hints and help as well.
Search out the body to find a set of keys and add the keys to your briefcase to use later.

Use the key to open the red-colored toolbox and collect a parrot wrench.
Pick up a sack of cement and add it to your inventory to use later.

I'm so sorry to have been on hiatus for so long! But good things are in store: I finally bought a DSLR camera + tripod + remote. Which means I'll no longer be using my shotty iPhone camera for outfit shots, and I won't have to rely on anyone to take photos for me anymore. (Plus, I'm really awkward when I have pictures taken by other people, kind of like that episode of Friends when Chandler has trouble naturally smiling in photos).
My awkward factor didn't completely dissapate in these photos, as Jordan and I were on the way to dinner, and I asked Jordan to take a few shots of my outfits. I'd say he did a damn good job for a first timer; he was so into taking pictures that he kept taking them the rest of dinner. He took some pretty unsightly photos of me eating that'll make their place in a scrapbook one day.
We've finally got some Spring weather down in Charleston. I've been aching for this moment since I first started buying pastel dresses and sandals in January (I like to plan ahead). I went into Forever 21 after work the other day, and I swooned over this strawberry print blouse. Isn't it just perfect for Spring? They didn't have a small (*insert cry-face*), but the oversized fit allowed me to size up to a medium without the blouse looking completely weird. I may ask my friend Marie if she wants to go strawberry-picking again this year; now I'm getting a photo theme in mind (I'm such a dork).
I'm also a big fan of contrast in my outfits. When wearing something loose & flowing up top, I prefer to wear a tighter fit on the bottom. It really brings attention to my figure (yowsas!) and creates a balance to the ensemble. The airiness of the shirt is a great juxtaposition to the weight of the denim below.
Every time I wear these shorts, I feel like I should be on the set of Now & Then–not to mention paired with my curly pixie cut. Retro chic, baby!
I hope everyone had a nice holiday. The kids around here are on Spring Break this week, so I have a feeling that I'll be seeing a lot of action at work in the next few days. I'll be sure to make time for posts though, honest!

Q: Finder takes long time to load some folders When opening some folders, the Finder takes a long time (30-60 seconds) to load all the files in it. Specifically, these folders typically contain 10-50 PHP files (which are text files), each about 10 kb.
I also notice that sometimes, after the files are listed, their icons are still loading and the "Kind" column is also still loading. (I've got the "Name", "Date Modified", "Size", and "Kind" columns showing; "Calculate all sizes" is enabled" while "Show icon preview" is disabled.)
In addition, when opening a directory such as this and viewing Activity Monitor, I see that coreservicesd is at 70% CPU and Finder is at 30% CPU. After all the files have loaded, both services are still at these CPU levels for about 60 seconds afterward.
Anyone know how I can fix this? I already did "Repair disk permissions" and "Repair Disk", along with a ton of miscellaneous Onyx tasks, but the problem still remains.

A: There are many things you can try to fix this:

*

*Trashing com.apple.finder.plist, com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and com.apple.loginwindow.plist (they will be recreated when you launch Finder) in ~/Library/Preferences and Force Quit Finder

*Turning off Calculate All Sizes in Finder

*Turning off Show View Options in Finder

Another thing you can try, is to create a new (test)account and see if the problem still exists there. Chances are good you'll solve your issue with this.
Worst case scenario, you can move your account to a new one to solve this issue.

A: I had the same problem, but none of the fixes above helped.  This finally did:
http://blog.hsoi.com/2014/02/25/my-slow-mac-mavericks-coreservicesd-iconservicesagent-and-how-fs_usage-saved-me/
Some issue with an application (in my case Xcode) and icons.
Try this command in Terminal, which reports realtime filesystem activity from the IconServicesAgent:
sudo fs_usage -f pathname -w com.apple.IconServicesAgent | grep open

I got endless output like:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents 0.000009 com.apple.IconSe.429515:32:08.066965 open F=4 (R_____)
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Info.plist 0.000010 com.apple.IconSe.429515:32:08.067690 open F=4 (R_____)
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight 0.000003com.apple.IconSe.429515:32:08.092972 open F=5 (R_____)

I moved Xcode to the trash, and reinstalled from the AppStore.  Problem solved, now I have a snappy Finder.

A: This solved the problem for me on Yosemite, as described here http://furbo.org/2015/01/19/clearing-the-icon-services-cache-in-yosemite/
$ sudo find /private/var/folders/ \
  -name com.apple.dock.iconcache -exec rm {} \;

$ sudo find /private/var/folders/ \
  -name com.apple.iconservices -exec rm -rf {} \;

$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Caches/com.apple.iconservices.store

A: Hallelujah! I figured it out. Okay, so first thing I did was create a new account, as suggested by another answer. The problem did not occur in there, so clearly the problem was limited to my account. I then went into Safe Mode into my account. The problem did not occur as well. So clearly something was loaded in normal mode but not in safe mode that was causing the problem.
While in safe mode, I then cleared the caches (in Terminal, using sudo mv /Library/Caches ~/Temp/ and the same for ~/Library/Caches). Problem solved! I've had other problems as well in Finder so perhaps this will fix this as well. I'm curious as to why using Onyx to clear the User caches didn't clear these as well, but anyway, from what I've read online it seems like getting rid of these two folders is safe. Also, Time Machine never backs up ~/Library/Caches (but it does back up /Library/Caches), so that's reassuring.
In addition, while this post was made in 2003, it still applied to my situation and this was what convinced me to clear my Caches folders.

A: I tried @Gary 's answer, it didn't work for me.
My problem was only concerning Shared folders
After a lot of reading and searching, didn't try all solutions, but when i went into the settings-> sharing it was also taking a lot of time to load the settings.
So i disabled everything one by one, afp and smb and windows, and then turned off the sharing service alltogether
These folders went fast again,
Then i reenabled it, and the problem didn't reoccur.
Hope this helps somebody else.

A: Starting up in Safe Mode solved it for me!
I had severe load on coreserviced and finder.
Various applications crashed during this.
Opening folders in finder took ages. Killing coreserviced and finder did not solve it. As soon as I opened folder in finder the load was back again and the CPU burning and the fan screaming ;-)...
Nothing written on this page solved it - Only restart in safe mode!!!
Why?
Ever since I administered UNIX systems a filesystem check (fsck) once in a while was always necessary.
And this is what happens on a mac during the progress bar in save mode startup.
After failsave mode startup finished, I restarted normally.
Then there was some high load for a minute or two for mds and others (icons..) to rebuild their caches.
But from then on all was cool - load about 3% tops and only the apps I worked with caused load.
Now I can enjoy opening folders swiftly again! lol

A: What I have is not a solution, but a way to speed up the process of loading a folder
In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder or type Shift+Cmd+G and then start to type the Path to the Folder you want to open in Finder. (e.g. /Volumes/Server1/MyFolder/Images/) While you are typing, Finder updates the folder as well and displays the content. This requires of course, that you know your paths relatively well, but you can use Tab for autocompletion.
In our company, we have the problem that shared folders on the cloud server are very slow when Finder tries to load them (with both AFP and SMB). The same folders are loaded instantly with Windows over SMB, even when Windows is running on a virtual machine on the Mac. Therefore neither a hardware nor a server fault.
I've tried to purge the Finder caches but without success. Strangely (and this tells volumes about the improvement of the services from Apple's side), as long as we were running some computers on Lion or some other wildcat, those were much less affected than those on the more recent OS.

A: My problem was solved by starting up in Safe Mode (Safe Boot)
I opened all the folders that were slow in finder. The first 2 or 3 of them were still slow. Then they started to open really fast. Did nothing more. Restarted my machine & then everything was great.
Starting up in Safe Mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
Best wishes

A: I had exactly the same issue and this helped. In my case it was an OpenOffice installation causing the problem. I removed OpenOffice and the problem disappeared. I will re-install an updated OO.
Like you I tried all the other tricks in many other threads, to no avail.  Many thanks for posting this.d

What's new in food: Natural Wine Festival, new coffee roasters and bread bakers coming.
STRICTLY NATURAL: WINE FEST
Mise en Place hosts the area's first Natural Wine Festival this weekend. Let's define our terms first. Natural wine is farmed organically (you'll hear terms like biodynamics and permaculture, too) and made without adding or removing anything in the cellar. No additives or processing aids are used and futzing with the naturally occurring fermentation process is frowned upon. These wines are not fined or filtered and enthusiasts say the result of all this is a living wine full of naturally occurring microbes. Beyond potential health benefits, this means farming techniques that are good for the earth and environment. The event is an opportunity to meet growers, makers and importers and sip more than 50 naturally made wines (vendors include Florida Wine Company, City Beautiful Beverage, Progress Wine Group, Cerdá, Llanos y Cía and others). Chef Marty Blitz will be whipping up food pairings. 21 and up. $85 to $120. 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. 442 W Kennedy Blvd., Tampa. (813) 254-5373. eventbrite.com.
WESTCHASE: GETS CAFFEINATED
Blind Tiger Coffee Roaster, one of Tampa Bay's most dynamic coffee roasters, has announced it's opening a fourth location, in West Park Village in Westchase by the end of the year. The announcement comes less than a year after the company opened its third location in January 2018 in South Tampa's SoHo district, which now serves as its flagship site (they started in Ybor City in 2014 and added a Seminole Heights location in 2016).
Maybe with a touch of irony, Blind Tiger takes over the space that was vacated by Starbucks almost a year ago. Why Westchase? Founder Roberto Torres, above, says it's a confluence of things: a social community, accessibility to pedestrian traffic and a sense of place. In addition to coffee drinks, Blind Tiger will serve gluten-free baked goods, breakfast and lunch items, salads and acai bowls.
TRICK AND TREAT: CRAFT B(R)OO
Head to the Craft Beer and Boo-fest at Tampa Bay Downs, where more than 100 ghoulishly good craft beers will be available for sampling along with food vendors, a Halloween costume contest (free entry, but get serious because the first-place prize is $500) and live music by Shakes Society. Must be 21 or older. $35, $10 designated driver. 4-10 p.m. Saturday. 11225 Race Track Road, Tampa. (813) 855-4233. tampabaydowns.com.
PLAN AHEAD: BREAD PREVIEW
I've been a big fan of Gulf Coast Sourdough, which has been sold at Tampa Bay outdoor markets the past few years as well as some stores. On Nov. 1, they're doing something new. It's a tasting event in a space that will soon be unveiled as the Sandwich House in the heart of Seminole Heights. Guests can contribute to their Kickstarter campaign to raise money to launch the shop, and can meet Donna Craig, a Seminole Heights artist who will be painting an indoor mural for the restaurant. Brett Wiewiora and Christina Cann make truly rock star bread — I'm guessing their sandwiches will follow suit. 6-8 p.m. 5214 N Nebraska Ave. Free tickets can be reserved at goo.gl/yrz82c.

Ramesh Sadashiv Balsekar ou Ramesh Balsekar ( - ) est un guru, traducteur de Nisargadatta Maharaj, qui enseigna pendant vingt-cinq ans dans son appartement situé dans la ville de Mumbai et par le biais de ses voyages au travers de l'Inde, de l'Europe et des États-Unis une voie synthétique vers l'éveil et la réalisation pouvant sembler sur la forme différente de l'enseignement de  Nisargadatta Maharaj qui, de son vivant, n'a jamais eu de disciples connu pouvant se réclamer de la lignée de Siddharameshwar Maharaj. Ramesh Balsekar a eu quant à lui plusieurs « disciples réalisés » qui firent souche et enseignent leur propre version de l'advaïta « abrupt » de Ramesh Balsekar parfois critiqué par les tenants de l'orthodoxie vedāntique.

Biographie
Ramesh Balsekar est né le  à Bombay, dans une famille de brahmanes, petits propriétaires terriens aisés originaires du Karnataka. Il fait ses études à la London School of Politics and Economics ou il obtient une licence en économie en 1939, l'année suivante il se marie et entre à la Bank of India où il finira sa carrière comme directeur général. En 1978 il fait la connaissance à Bombay de Nisargadatta Maharaj dont il deviendra l'un des traducteurs. Un an après il considère avoir atteint la réalisation spirituelle en présence de Maharaj. Il commence a donner un enseignement en 1982, un an après la mort de Maharaj.

En 1999 il reçoit pendant plusieurs mois la visite de l'artiste Leonard Cohen avec lequel il aura plusieurs entretiens spirituels.

What is a one wire alternator?
Why does my new alternator have a smaller pulley?
Why is output so low at idle?
Can I use underdrive power pulleys?
Will a higher amperage alternator cause any problems with my stock electrical system?
What modifications will I need to make when upgrading to a high amp alternator?
What does the rated output of your alternators mean?
Will a high output alternator have a shorter lifespan?
What alternators will interchange with each other?
How do I wire an alternator in place of a generator?
What should my system voltage be?
How do I wire in auxiliary batteries to my system?
A one wire alternator is used where you do not want to have any connection from a vehicle to operate an alternator. It will self-excite, meaning that it can start charging and stop charging all on its own. The only connection needed for a 1-wire alternator is the output charge cable. It is most commonly used in custom vehicles to clean up the wiring, replacing an alternator that used an external regulator, or adding a second alternator to the vehicle.
The early GM 1-wire alternators (1972-1986) will need to have the RPM raised to 1000 ? 1200 RPM initially to get the alternator charging and then it will continue to charge after that. The later style GM and all Ford and other style 1-wire alternators will excite immediately when the vehicle is started. The one wire alternators cannot be used if you want to use a dash charging light. You would need to use the plug-in style regulator in order to complete the circuit to operate the light.
How much amperage do I need?
The alternator that was provided with your vehicle should handle all of its electrical needs as outfitted from the factory. If you have added electrical components such as stereo amps, lights, compressors, winch, plow, etc. then you will need to produce more power to operate these components. Use our Amperage Load Calculator to find out how much power you now need from an upgraded alternator.
Alternators produce more amperage the faster they spin up to their maximum capacity. Most people need the best output they can get at low speed. When the engine is idling, the alternator will not produce as much power because it is turning slower. In order to boost output at lower RPM, it is beneficial to spin the alternator faster by using a slightly smaller pulley to accomplish this. In most cases you should be able to use the alternator with the smaller pulley without having to use a smaller belt. Check to make sure that your belt is not worn, stretched, or that the tensioner has the correct amount of tension to keep the belt from slipping or having too much tension.
1) Too much load - The amount of load (components using power) may be too much for the amount of output the alternator is capable of producing at that slower speed. Check the amperage output at the rear of the alternator and see if it is more or less than the amperage coming out of the battery's positive cable. If increasing the RPM of the engine slightly causes the alternator to exceed the requirements, then it may be necessary to use a higher rated alternator, raise the engine idle speed (if possible), or change to a smaller diameter pulley to increase output at that RPM,.
2) Idle Speed - Some newer vehicles have idle speeds much lower than earlier models. This is done to help the fuel economy. On these vehicles the use of a smaller diameter pulley is almost a necessity to get low RPM output to an acceptable level. You may find that at times the load demand may be greater than the available output of the alternator. There is no problem with having this condition for short periods such as heavy bass hits from the stereo. Using an auxiliary battery to add additional reserve capacity can help alleviate problems stemming from these circumstances.
3) Pulley ratio ? In order for the alternator to spin fast enough to produce the power necessary at low RPM, the pulley ratio should be correct. Changing the crankshaft pulley or alternator pulley will vary this ratio. For most vehicles the ratio should be at least 3:1. See the question "What is pulley ratio" to find out how to calculate this.
4) Wiring ? When upgrading to a high output alternator it is important to make sure that the power can get to where it needs to go. The factory charge cable and ground cables were designed to handle only as much amperage as the stock alternator could provide. Using a higher amperage alternator, you need to upgrade the charge cable to handle the higher current that will be passing through or the power will be restricted. It is also necessary to upgrade the ground side as well. This would include the battery to frame, body, and engine block.
The use of underdrive pulleys for the crankshaft has become popular but it has the downside of slowing alternator RPM. This will cause the alternator to have lower output at slow speeds. We recommend that the factory sized crankshaft pulley be used whenever you upgrade to a high output alternator.
A higher amperage alternator will not pose any problems to the vehicle's electrical system. Amperage will flow to only those components that can use the energy and supply as much amperage as the component can consume. For example, you may have a 100 amp alternator in your vehicle and the turn signals have small wiring and will only use 10 amp of power. Upgrading to a 200 amp alternator will not affect these components. On externally regulated alternators you can still use the stock factory regulator. Of course you need to get the power to where it needs to go, so see the next question about modifications.
Almost all of the alternators we sell are meant to be a direct replacement for your factory alternator so you should not have to modify the installation. You should, however, upgrade the alternator's charging cable and ground cables (battery to frame, body, and engine block) so that you can get the power to where it can be used. A smaller diameter alternator pulley is usually included with the alternator we provide and in rare instances a slightly shorter belt may be necessary.
These figures are alternator RPM speed. In order to calculate the corresponding engine RPM you must divide those numbers by your pulley ratio. To calculate pulley ratio, see the next question.
Pulley ratio is the comparison of the crankshaft pulley diameter to the alternator pulley diameter. In order to get your pulley ratio you would measure the diameter of your crankshaft pulley and divide it by the diameter of the alternator pulley you will be using. For example, if your crankshaft pulley is 6" in diameter and the alternator pulley is 2" in diameter, the ratio would be 3:1 or 6 2 = 3. The larger the ratio, the faster the alternator will spin. CLICK HERE to go to our pulley ratio chart.
The high output alternators we design should be able to provide a long life. However, the more current that is produced by an alternator, the faster the brushes may wear. If you are using an alternator more toward its peak capacity it will tend to use more brush material. Luckily, replacing brushes on most alternators is relatively easy and very inexpensive. Even if you are running the alternator at peak capacity it should provide you with years of good use before you may need to do any maintenance.
For GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles we have provided a list of the most popular interchangeable cases to help make finding a higher amperage alternator easier. CLICK HERE to see the list. If you do not find an option or are unsure of which one is correct, feel free to call us at (909) 794-1600 for assistance.
Since not all vehicles are wired exactly the same the picture below is a simple example of the wiring requirements for installing an alternator in place of a generator system. Using the original generator regulator as a junction to connect all of the positive wires makes it simple. You may also route the wiring in any fashion you like as long as the power is distributed to both the battery and the vehicle's electrical components. The Armature and Field wires that were previously connected between your old generator and regulator can be removed and discarded. If you have a dash light and want to use it , there is a small wire on the ARM terminal the comes from the ignition through the dash light. This is how the generator is excited also. If the Powergen has a provision for a dash light you would connect this small wire to the light wire terminal on the alternator/Powergen. The dash light bulb MUST be working or the light will not come on and turn off as the Powergen starts to spin. The alt/Powergen will still charge as it is a 1 wire unit but the dash light will not work. NOTE: The picture below is for negative ground systems. If you are connecting on a positive ground system then the cable at the battery will connect to the negative battery terminal.
On a 12 volt system the high cutout voltage should be between 14.3 - 14.9 depending on the voltage regulator installed on your alternator. This voltage will be maintained when the battery is fully charged and the electrical load is low. As you add electrical load by turning on more accessories, the voltage will drop. By using Ohm's Law, you can calculate that when amperage goes up, voltage will go down. The higher the amperage load is to the alternator's maximum rated output, the lower the voltage will be. For example, if you have a 100 amp alternator and are using 80 amp, the voltage will be about 13.5V. If you bring your load up to 101 amp, then the voltage in the system will drop below 12.8V because the extra 1 amp that is needed and not coming from the alternator will have to be stolen from the vehicle's battery and hence the voltage will start dropping below the static battery level. Keep in mind that you might experience this scenario more often at idle speeds because an alternator will not be able to produce its rated capacity at low RPM speeds. Using a smaller diameter pulley or raising the vehicle's idle RPM can sometimes give you the added RPM to get the alternator to charge at a higher rate.
How do I wire in auxiliary batteries in my system?
If you are going to add additional batteries for your stereo, compressors, or inverter then you need to make sure that the power is circulated correctly. Wiring secondary batteries is easily done by following the diagram below. The most important thing is that the power goes in one end and exits the other. That way you will charge and discharge your batteries equally and be able to use the total amount of power in all batteries. It is OK for the alternator to have more than one charge cable on its output stud.


Don't worry if your smile is not as bright and beautiful as you would like it. You're not alone as a lot of people feel the same way but they don't lose hope. After all, there is always a way out to get the desired result as far as your smile is concerned. You can try one of these solutions to brighten you smile and regain the confidence you have been losing all along. You can try them to make your teeth appear brighter and whiter without going the cosmetic way. These beauty tips are tried and tested, so no need to feel apprehensive about them.
Make sure you choose a right-toned lipstick to get the smile you so desperately crave. Your choice of lipstick will have an impact on your smile, and this must be understood well. If you go with orangey tones or deep reds, this may make your teeth appear more yellow than they are. Dark shades should be a big no when you plan to flash your smile to the world and charm people around. You can rather go with a lipstick with blue undertones or genuine reds as that can add glow and brightness to your smile.
If you want to brighten your smile, you just can't go wrong with the bronzer. Without a right product by your side, you won't be able to make your teeth look brighter and whiter. It would be a mistake to using the oranges as it can make the teeth look anything but white. If possible, stick to the natural make up as it will let your smile stay as attractive as possible. You should pick taupe-toned bronzers to accentuate your smile and give the teeth a whiter-looking shade in all season.
If your teeth are not as beautiful as you wish, you can then shift the focus away to the eyes. That will help take people's attention from your teeth and put where you want them to. You can accentuate the eyes and ensure the focus is less on the yellow tones in your teeth. You should look to try eyeshadows in purple, silver or blue colour if the winter season to there to make your eyes look stunning. On the other hand, you can choose bright green and turquoise in the summer to make your eyes look truly captivating.
If you think your teeth are not whiter and brighter, you can then look to highlight your lips to make your smile as beautiful as you want. You can apply a lip liner and gloss around the lips; and go with a light concealer for the outer border of the lips. This is how you can make the lips look fuller than they are which can make the teeth appear whiter against the lip colour. This simple make-up trick can help you flash a dazzling smile at the party and charm the people around.

Flake and McCain, Cursive Writing, & Accursed WH Leaks
Four pieces by Quin Hillyer at Liberty Headlines — a site for news aggregation, not really opinion. Click on the headline of each, to see the full story.
Sen. Flake says NAFTA is a good deal: Attorney General Jeff Sessions isn't the only Republican office holder President Donald Trump has been agitating against – not by a long shot.
One of them, at least by inference, is fighting back, in this case by pushing back against one of the policy positions most closely associated with this president.
Trump is known to be trying to recruit a primary opponent in 2018 for U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, who was reluctant to support Trump's candidacy last year and who disagrees with Trump on immigration policy. Former state Sen. Kelli Ward, who has aligned herself in support of the president, has already announced a challenge to Flake.But rather than shrink from the conflict, Flake is doubling down, without even mentioningTrump by name. The issue is NAFTA – the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico……
Theory: McCain actually 'took one for the team': An interesting theory is making its way around the cyber-politico-world, namely that John McCain's vote last week against the Senate's health-policy bill was less a matter of abandoning his team than it was of "taking one for the team." There's almost no way to prove the theory one way or another. But its very plausibility – once the theory is explained and understood – provides the lesson that sometimes votes in Congress are not always what they seem to be…..
Cursive makes a comeback, against Common Core: Longtime critics of the Common Core educational standards increasingly can sign their names to policy successes on one major front of their battle. For at least six years, one of many criticisms of the Core was that it deliberately de-emphasized cursive writing (sometimes called writing "in script") in favor of teaching "keyboard skills." Just as with the controversial mathematics-instruction methods pushed by Common Core, the Core's preference for technology over handwriting basics is another example of the standards' emphases on things trendy and newfangled ahead of the tried and true. Proponents of cursive now are successfully fighting back, with Arizona, Louisiana and Alabama this coming academic year joining at least 11 other states once again requiring or at least promoting cursive writing as part of their schools' curriculum…….
Some leaks hurt nation more than Trump's lies do: The release of transcripts of President Trump's January conversations with the leaders of Mexico and Australia led to two inescapable conclusions, according to observers across the political spectrum. The conclusion of lesser importance, believe it or not, was that Trump again was caught in an incontrovertible lie. The conclusion of greater importance, one to which even some of Trump's harshest critics attest, is that the leaking of the transcripts was probably criminal and is certainly dangerous to American security………

A truck driver is hit and killed by another vehicle, reportedly while trying to flee on foot from police, while two others are killed in two separate car accidents.
A truck driver was struck and killed by another vehicle in the early hours of Saturday morning in the Emek Hefer area north of Tel Aviv, reportedly while trying to flee on foot from a police stop.
An investigation has been opened into the incident, which took place at about 2:30 A.M. in the course of a volunteer police operation related to property crime in the area. The volunteer police considered the truck suspicious and ordered the driver to stop. Instead, they said he sped away, ultimately abandoning his truck and fleeing on foot, when he was hit and killed by another vehicle.
Two others were killed in two separate accidents in a particularly brutal weekend on Israeli roads. On Friday morning, a pedestrian of about 60 was fatally injured when he was struck by a vehicle in Netanya. Later in the day, a 19-year-old man was killed in an accident in the vicinity of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights.
In two hit-and-run accidents on Friday evening, a 6-year-old boy was struck in Jerusalem and a 19-year-old was hit in Haifa. Police detained a suspect in the Haifa case while in Jerusalem, police arrested two city residents suspected of involvement in the accident after their siblings turned them in. Jerusalem police said the driver had never held a driver's license and had been caught driving without a license when he was 14.
In Be'er Sheva, a driver on Hebron Road lost control of his vehicle, critically injuring a 40-year-old man and seriously injuring a 16-year-old girl. A 40-year-old woman suffered moderate injuries in the accident and three other people sustained light wounds.
In yet another accident, in the Nazareth area, a 23-year-old pedestrian was seriously injured near the village of Reineh when he was hit by a car; in the south, near Hura, two men in their 20s were injured, one seriously and one moderately, in a road accident. Eight people, including an 8-year-old girl were injured in an accident near Elyakim in the north.

What a magical vacation you will have at the on Disney Dream! This is Disney's newest ship which is a lot of fun.
While the pools are fun, I would limit the toys. I do not recommend diving rings however small toys such as a boat you move by hand or water toys which are in reach should be fine. You can always wear goggles as I know the water can bother some guests eyes.
Save the pool toys for Castaway Cay as there is lots of fun to do there in the water!
Wishing you a magical cruise!
