A Manufacturers Guide to Choosing the Correct Grade of Fence Panel

Are you replacing your panel fencing for yourself or to make the outside of your home look more appealing to potential buyers.

For someone who is selling their home, buying quality fence panels just isn't cost effective,cartier love bracelet without diamonds, people buy high grade fence panels because they want them to last for many years, thus keeping overall costs down, but budget fence panel look just as attractive when they are new, these are the fence panels developers used when they build their houses and usually need replacing after one or two years, so you should do the same. Budget fencing panel's can either be purchased at your local DIY chain or garden centre or they can be ordered through a professional fencing company, I personally would choose the later as it will probably work out cheaper and your wont have to collect and install them yourself.

These budget panels are not designed to last or be a good fit within your fence posts, they are usually constructed of cheap thin white pine held together with budget nails and treated if at all with a low grade preservative, but if it's just to sell your home why go to the extra expense. There is however one drawback and that is if your home fails to sell during the spring and summer months when most sales go through a single harsh winter can damage these budget panels and if there are storms some could even split of blow out altogether due to their poor fit and flimsy construction.

For homeowners looking to replace their fence panels for themselves and not just to sell their home they is really only one option,cartier 4 diamond love bracelet, premium grade fence panels. These premium grade panels are constructed of a harder,vintage cartier love bracelet for sale, better quality timber and if purchased from the right company can last 10 years of longer, they don't however cost 10 times as much as their budget counterpart so are the most cost effective option for people looking for long lasting fencing. Premium grade panels are thicker so tend not the rattle in the wind and the chance of one of these panels blowing out during a storm is simply unheard of.

There are many so called professional fencing companies advertising online and in the local press so how do you choose the correct one? The answer is simple, be cautious and do your research,leve bracelet, don't just ring a phone number out of the newspaper or from a card you see in you local supermarket as you might end up with a man with a van who simply picks up your fencing from a DIY store. A professional company will have a website so do a search for local companies, for example search for fencing Liverpool if you live in or around Merseyside to get results for local fencing companies, once you find a company that seem legitimate find out whether they construct their own fencing, what timber do they use? Is their timber treated before assembly, if so with what?

A Critical Evaluation of the HAARP Conspiracy

Conspiracy theorists have time and again said that it is possible to manipulate weather and engineer natural calamities using the HAARP. Last year though, they went a step ahead and claimed that it was President Obama who engineered hurricane Sandy the HAARP secure a second term for himself.

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a joint research venture funded by the US Air Force, US Navy, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and what might leave many people surprised of the prominent universities of the country. Since it began back in 1993, the HAARP has been in news pretty frequently; more so for wrong reasons though.

The research project was an instant hit among conspiracy theorists from the very beginning. Every time there is some natural calamity in the United States, these self proclaimed 'experts' point their finger towards the HAARP research facility in Alaska. That the HAARP is conspiracy theorists' favorite whipping boy becomes all the more evident with a number of theories about it flooding the cyberspace. While some of these have a hint of logical reasoning, others are mere baseless claims . allegations to be precise. Nevertheless, most of these conspiracy theories either allege that the research project is a weather control device, or call it a directed energy weapon in disguise. Conspiracy theorists take the argument a step ahead by alleging that the HAARP actually controls the near surface weather of the planet (and is also responsible for global warming). That the research is carried out in midair,faux cartier love bracelet, around 50 miles above the surface of the Earth, is conveniently ignored here. These experts also attribute the series of hurricanes over the past decade Hurricane Sandy in 2012 this research project, without a shred of concrete evidence whatsoever.

The allegation that the high frequency radio waves alter the core of the planet has put the project HAARP in spotlight time and again. If the conspiracy theorists are to be believed, the alteration of the Earth's core as a result of the activities carried out in this research facility is what is causing earthquakes and other similar natural disasters. In what was one of the most circulated conspiracy theories in the cyberspace,love braclets, the conspiracy theorists alleged that the March 2011 earthquake, which triggered a tsunami in Japan, was also caused because of the HAARP.

Some conspiracy theorists are of the opinion that HAARP is a military megaproject in guise of a research center, which primarily acts as a surveillance system and has the ability of destroying the enemy aircraft in midair. There also exist some theorists who claim that the radio waves emitted by HAARP can result in adverse effects on the human mind and body.

What Does the HAARP Actually Do?

The HAARP was built to assess the potential of developing the ionosphere to further enhance radio communication and surveillance technology. At the HAARP Research Station, located at the US Air Force site in Alaska, the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI) or 'ionosphere heaters' high power radio frequency transmitter used to excite a specific portion of the ionosphere for a temporary period. The IRI is capable of producing a single beam of radio waves with the power exceeding 3.6 million watts. Other than the IRI, an UHF radar and a fluxgate magnetometer are also used to study the physical changes that occur in that specific portion.

Many educational institutes, including the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have been closely involved in the development of this project over the course of last two decades. While conspiracy theorists often allege that most of the information about the HAARP project is classified, the truth is far from the same. In fact, all the information about the HAARP project can be found in the public domain. In fact, the facility has open house and guided tours for civilians interested in this research program.

Additionally, the HAARP research center is not the only ionosphere heating facility in the world or the United States, for that matter. There exist several ionosphere heaters in various parts of the world; the HIgh Power Auroral Stimulation (HIPAS) Observatory, which was operating from the northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska, was one of the best examples of the same. If the HAARP has earned notoriety, it's because of our half knowledge and all those rumors floating the cyberspace. The chances of coming across someone who hasn't received those emails titled 'HAARP Conspiracy' are pretty rare. It's the circulation of HAARP myths along with the use of terms like weather warfare and mind control machine that has made the research project so infamous.

Like we said earlier, the HAARP has been more in the news for wrong reasons since it came into being. That is bound to make one think, if nothing is suspicious, then why is it so popular among conspiracy theorists controversial? That's because put it in renowned skeptic, David Naiditch's words purpose seems deeply mysterious to the scientifically uninformed."

You're throwing all "Conspiracy theorists" into one basket just blew your credibility. actually, no two "Conspiracy theorists" believe the same things, the same way. Its just like relegion, everybody has their own unique interpretation of their faith and belief. And actually, I would guess less than a third of your "Conspiracy theorists" believe that Fukushima was created by HAARP. That's just stupid. But I do believe that Fukushima could end up being our extinction event.

It heats the Ionosphere, to manipulate the Jetstream, to control the weather. China has one , Russia as well and now the USA has a floating platform. The people running this program have got to be bat crazy. David Keith said that they are not sure if there will be a downside because they have never done this before. Also linked with Bill Gates and his population control program. THE NUTS ARE DRIVING THE BUS.

Yes, it's started with Nikola Tesla , in early 1900's , imagine we're already in the 21th Century well' look around us there were lots of new technologies already. read "the Lost Journals of Nikola Tesla.

Roldan [November 21, 2013]

I'am a Born Again Christian ,and as a Church Leader , the Scriptures tells us that God is Sovereign that nothing happens out of "luck". But let's say about the disobedience of Adam and Eve, we cannot say that God causes them to sin, they were held responsible for their own disobedience. And now let's say HAARP causes all these calamities to happen, we Should not say that their God by themselves , but God let these things happen, we say "God Ordained and let things to come to pass like the sin of Adam although He could prevent it if He willed to" Sin and Destruction will gonna come out in this world. In Luke 21:10 11 There will be wars among nation and in verse 11 earthquakes, famines, pestilences well, I think God through Jesus Christ already redeemed the entire world including the Physical /earth aspect i might say therefore He 'll just let these natural disaster to happen. So, it will be unlikely "while all these wars are going on " God will shake the earth and adding turmoil to all the people, and causes drought and pestilences , my conviction is that in these verses the Nation waging wars having Super weapons that can literally causes earthquake, storms, pestilences and God allowing all these things to happen , because He Ordained it already , as Rom. 8:20 22 the creation itself subjected to futility, bondage to corruption.

How do we shut them down. Going to be the death of us all. I can't believe everybody defending them. Or only good comments posted. They can and they affecting the weather, the ocean currents and warming, frying the atmosphere, melting the two poles and killing aquatic life.

They are all wrong. What Haarp actually does, by pulsing its emissions, is to generate WELF frequencies which can be used for communications, including under the sea. It's not so mysterious, unless you include Cobra mist!

Thermion [January 2, 2013]

Early ultras sonic tests were performed by the USA by Alfred L. Loomis, emitting high frequency radiation and the ability to kill/change the surrounding environment.

For over 20 years an organization in ohio has been researching and using technology that enables them to see and talk to people from a central location without visible equipment. This technology has been kept secret from the general public, only a handfull of people, including police have known about it. as of 2012 nearly all police, firefighters and medical professionals in columbus, ohio are aware of it. most cops in the rest of the state along with indiana are also aware. maybe some doctors and nurses are in fear for their own safety and that of their families while the police and mental health professionals seem to have been advanced to their position because of their willingness to work with this organization.

A set visit with the big guy

It's noon on a Wednesday and inside a Canoga Park soundstage, the latest film to star Marvel Comics' storied character the Hulk is hours behind schedule. Crucial sets still aren't finished including the all important gamma ray chamber there's an unforeseen problem with the Hulk's makeup and the production needs to be out of the space by the following day. Despite these complications, producer Shylar Cobi takes it all in stride. "Typical porno," he says with a shrug.

No, this isn't acompanion projectto director Louis Leterrier's "The Incredible Hulk" or Joss Whedon's upcoming "Avengers,cartier bracelet for sale," this is "The Incredible Hulk XXX: A Porn Parody,good fake cartier love bracelet," the latest production from the SuperXXXHeroes brand of comic book related porn parodies produced by adult video powerhouse Vivid Entertainment. Instead of looking to the recent films starring Eric Bana and Ed Norton, "Hulk XXX" draws its inspiration from the 1977 TV movie that starred Bill Bixby and kicked off the hit television series. If you ever watched that series and wondered how the Hulk's pants stayed on when theslim Dr. David Banner that won't be an issue with Vivid's vision of the character.

Indeed, what sets the SuperXXXHeroes films apart from porn's long, long tradition of film parody (think "Pulp Friction" and "Miracle on 69th Street") is that this new wave of parodies isn't content to swipe the title and general themes of their mainstream namesakes they're actually trying to re create the exact look and feel of the originals. In the case of "Hulk XXX," that means a full wardrobe of vintage bell bottoms and butterfly collars and sets and hairstyles made to be carbon copies of the network TV original.

Bill Bixby in the original 1977 TV movie "The Incredible Hulk" (Universal TV)

"There's been lots of superhero parodies from other companies, but they always end up just parodying the character. I'm remaking [the 'Hulk' TV pilot] almost exactly, but with sex," says the film's director, B. Skow. "Instead of making it a joke, I'm trying to keep the drama of it."

The hope is that XXX will appeal to comic book fans as well as porn fans (though it's a question whether those two audiences are actually different) and generate a bona fide hit in an industry that's locked in a constant battle with the pervasive drain of free Internet porn.

The cast of XXX, with Dale DaBone as Batman, right. The first film, "Batman XXX," which was a dead on re creation of the campy 1960s TV series starring Adam West, was named both the bestselling and best renting title of 2010 by Adult Video News (the porn industry's leading trade) and cleaned up at the AVN Awards in early January, earning seven awards, including best parody. "Superman XXX," done in the style of Richard Donner's 1978 blockbuster, will be released on Jan. 31, and more are on the way: Spider Man, Captain America,cartier bracelet love replica, Wonder Woman and Thor are all slated to get the XXX treatment,love bracelet, and the company is even looking to create its own original superheroes, with names like Spread Eagle and High Beams.

"When you're doing an adult parody like this, you want to find four or five things moments or lines or scenes that people really remember from the original," says Skow.

And how do Marvel and DC feel about their intellectual properties being turned into fodder for such productions? Both companies declined to comment.

The filmmakers say they have the fair use doctrine on their side and no permission from Marvel or DC is needed, despite the fact that the Hulk and even the set are a pitch perfect re creation of the originals. However, they're very careful when it comes to the Hulk's mournful theme song. "You can't copy music in a parody," Skow says. "I've got a guy who does TV jingles. Between takes, the actors marvel at the relative emphasis on story and character compared to the stuff they normally shoot. "This is definitely the longest script I've ever had," says Lee Stone, who plays the Hulk half of the character. "It's got the most dialogue scenes, which is fun."

Lee Stone gets painted green for his Hulk performance. (Brian van der Brug / Los Angeles Times)

Stone's costar Dale DaBone, who plays David Banner, studies clips of the TV movie on a laptop between setups and is happy to dissect the particulars of Bixby's acting style: "He doesn't move his facial muscles. Ever!"

For DaBone, the porn parodies have been a dream come true. He channeled West for "Batman XXX" and the King for "Elvis XXX" and he's just itching for the chance to play Tom Cruise in a porn version of "Top Gun" or David Hasselhoff in a dirty "Knight Rider."

"I'm never going to be called to be in a movie with Julia Roberts, so this is my chance to see how I would have done," DaBone says. "Maybe I'll be terrible and people will laugh and that's OK, it's porn or maybe I'll really impress someone."

A brief history of punk

One clich is that punk was less a musical genre than a state of mind but that was true in the days before it became fashionable to become a punk fashion victim.

Although its origins can be traced back as far as you like,replica rolex mens oyster perpetual datejust, with every generation having its own youth sub culture that shocks the established order (some say Elvis was a punk), punk as we know it began in the early 1970s.

Bands like The Fugs, the MC5 and The Stooges all sowed the seeds, but the first group to take on the recognisable attitude and style were the New York Dolls and Television, who both emerged from a small New York scene.

The New York Dolls, befriended by future Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren,replica rolex oyster perpetual datejust watch, were outrageously dressed, and delighted in disgusting people by doing Nazi salutes and vomiting in front of photographers.

McLaren saw something special in Television too especially their bassist, Richard Hell, whose spiky hair and ripped clothes were taken back to London by McLaren and have been seen on thousands of punks since.

On both sides of the Atlantic, more and more young disillusioned white teenagers were looking for an escape from the boredom and constraints of society, with unemployment, racial tensions and social upheaval providing fuel for their fires.

Punk remained an underground scene until 1976, when two bands The Ramones and The Sex Pistols made the outside world take notice.

Not only did they become hugely successful in their own right, but they also provided an inspiration to people who realised you did not need to be able to play an instrument to be in a band you just had to have something to say.

Legend has it that after seeing the Sex Pistols support one of his old bands, Joe Strummer was moved to form The Clash.

Another story says The Clash's Paul Simonon and Mick Jones told The Ramones that their London gig gave the pair the courage to be in a band.

Whatever the truth, the Sex Pistols went on to cause tabloid outrage using some tricks McLaren had picked up in New York and the punk explosion disgusted as many as it inspired.

Groups like The Clash, The Buzzcocks, Joy Division and The Stranglers followed,rolex datejust oyster replica, and the punk influence has carried through to current rock bands like Green Day, Rancid and Blink 182.

And 25 years after the original scene developed,replica rolex lady datejust oyster perpetual, a new US rock sound, using elements of the New York punk scene, has thrown up bands like The Strokes and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs although cynics say their retro looks are more important to them than their originality.

As for the original punks, they are now middle aged and left largely irrelevant by the passage of time.

The ranting and raving of people like John Lydon formerly Johnny Rotten which made him a figurehead for a disillusioned generation in the 1970s, has now come to make him a figure of cartoon style ridicule.

But the reaction to Joe Strummer's death has proved that we do see the old punks as pioneers who kicked down musical and social barriers, making anything seem possible.

1973 Ford Van Specs

Ford vans had a short hood that allowed engine access from the front. According to a 1973 Ford Econoline advertisement and the Econoline Dealer Data Book, a choice of sliding or swinging side doors was available. Ford used a "square wall design" that provided less taper at the roof than competitive vans, making the Econoline more suitable for built in shelving and workbenches.

The Econoline was designed for city maneuverability, with a 40 foot turning radius on the E100 and E200. The extended wheelbase version of this model had a 45.1 foot turning radius.

The 1973 vans were basically unchanged from the major redesign of 1968. Ford vans would continue in this body style for one additional year before being re engineered in 1975,replica rolex oyster perpetual datejust value.

The standard length Econoline and Club Wagon had a 105,rolex oyster perpetual lady datejust replica.5 inch wheelbase and measured 169.1 inches in total length. The extended van offered a 123.5 inch wheelbase and total length of 187.1 inches,rolex datejust watch replica.

Ford claimed a gross vehicle weight rating of up to 4,325 pounds for the 1973 E100, 5,250 pounds for the E200, 6,050 pounds for the E300 and 6,200 pounds for the extended wheelbase E300. Vans could be optionally upgraded with heavy duty axles, springs and tires. With optional upgrades, the extended wheelbase E300 had a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,replica gold rolex oyster perpetual datejust,300 pounds. The Club Wagon maxed out at a gross vehicle weight rating of 7,800 pounds.

5 Things That Are Being Automated That Probably Shouldn't Be,rolex lady datejust oyster perpetual fake

As we all know, letting computers do everything for us will cause them to one day take over the earth and kill us all, or if we are lucky, just make batteries out of us. But some foolish, uneducated people out there have neither watched the Matrix nor Terminator movies and are working diligently toward making computers do people jobs. While someday these robots and programs will become our overlords, in their present crude state they are content to destroy us with their hilarious incompetence.

Here are some things that anyone with a lick of sense would not put in the hands of a computer, and the people who are putting them into the hands of a computer.

Someone realized that human traders, no matter how sheeplike or pessimistic, couldn't have freaked out fast enough to drive the Dow down 1000 points in 10 minutes. Computers are just designed to do everything faster and more efficiently, including stock panics.

Stock trading algorithms,rolex oyster perpetual datejust fake, or "algos," as financial people fondly call them are responsible for 70 percent of trades today, which means that most of the stock market is literally just computers making deals with each other.

"Mr. Vaio? You wanted no cream, right?"

These programs trade in millionths of a second, millions of trades a day, and are even trained to prey on other algorithms by recognizing their patterns, stealing their stock picks, and selling them back to them. They even get names, like, "Dagger," "Barcode" or "Crystal Triangle," that apparently come from the Drug Dealer Brand Name Generator.

Malfunctioning algos have shut down the London Stock Exchange and briefly paralyzed the New York Stock Exchange among others. In one incident, a guy not double clicking fast enough triggered a bug in the program.

When you're controlling billions of dollars, you don't have time to use an antiquated semi automatic mouse.

Instead of slowing down to work out the bugs, finance companies keep rolling out bigger and more aggressive algorithms. The bank that crashed the NYSE didn't even know they'd done it until they got a (probably very angry) phone call the next day.

Some firms have gone even further and put the algos in charge. At Rebellion Research, computers and humans have actually switched roles. The program (named "Star") is the boss, analyzing over a decade of stock market data and coming up with a long term strategy, giving humans a list of buy/sell instructions every morning. The humans then make the trades at the computer's command, and are not allowed to modify them in any way.

It's not clear from the article whether the program is named after Star Jones pre or post surgery.

More freaky than the fact they're taking orders from a computer is (1) it's actually working Star is beating the market and bought "defensively" before the stock market crash, and (2) they've started calling it a "he". The creators (servants?) of the program say things like, "He just loaded up on value stocks," and "I've learned not to question the AI." We will all be batteries soon enough.

First the stock market. Then this.

The economic collapse, a lot of people owe money these days, and that sure is a lot of people for banks to threaten every day. It's just not possible to hire that many threatening humans, so debt collection agencies have been using robocallers for years, which are about as inaccurate as mass mail (seriously, how many of you ladies have gotten penis enlargement ads).

"Would. I like. to. increase. the. size of. my."

I have had my cell phone for three years and I am STILL getting debt collection calls for someone named Annette X (or Ax?) who apparently owned the number before me. Annette, if you are reading this, call the fucking bank already.

Since people like Annette apparently change their numbers and ignore these calls all the time, debt collectors have been moving up to the next step lawsuits. Previously they didn't want to go here because it was insane to pay a lawyer to collect someone's piddling $250. But now? Robot lawyers.

Some terrible, terrible people have come up with computer software that allows one lawyer to easily file 5,700 lawsuits a year. You just feed the software a Social Security number, date of birth, address, and amount owed, and presto. It files all the paperwork and that person is sued. If they don't show up (and most don't), then jackpot! Free money.

But if they do show up, you may be fucked. One woman targeted by mistake showed up in court to prove she didn't even owe the debt. They wanted $9,000 from her. She got $8.1 million from them.

You'd think surely someone would be checking these records at some point, either at the bank before they sell it to the collection agency,fake datejust rolex oyster perpetual, or the collection agency before they hand it to the law firm, or the lawyers before they put it in their lawsuit robot. But no. The sworn affidavit, the piece of paper they need to show in court to take your money, is often signed by people who either don't read them,rolex mens oyster perpetual datejust fake, or in at least one case, by a person who is dead.

It's getting harder to make money at news, and what with human reporters constantly fussing about "food" and "supporting a family," news outlets have been trying to figure out ways to cut them out of the equation.

It's easy to get a robot that eliminates reporters, it's harder to get one that takes their place.

You probably already know about Google News using some AI to collect headlines of the day, and you might have heard of AOL's plan to start writing stories based on search engine algorithmic analyses of what people want to read. That's small potatoes.

Statsheet wants to create a program to write entire sports blogs from basically scanning box scores, blogs that readers will think are written by a human. This article includes a sample. These automated blogs might someday be read by an algorithm like Infonic's or Reuters' which scans and analyzes hundreds of news articles a day to tell you what people think of different companies (in Infonic's case) or athletes, or political issues, or anything you don't want to read about yourself.

With computers doing all the writing and reading, I guess we will just go play video games or something.

But we'll probably want to tune in, because computers writing news can be pretty hilarious. Techmeme's 2007 experiment in algorithmically scanning the web to predict the next big headlines before they happen resulted in them putting out front page headlines about Anna Nicole Smith's hospitalization when she had in fact been declared dead.

6 Indians killed in car crash

Six Indians were killed when a van in which they were travelling to visit Niagara Falls spun out of control and crashed into another car in Erie County in the US state of Pennsylvania.

The mishap took place in West Springfield on Sunday,datejust rolex oyster perpetual replica, the police said. At least four of the dead were working with Michigan based information technology firm Syntel Inc.

The police said just after crossing the Pennsylvania Ohio border, the van flipped over and crashed into another car coming from the opposite direction.

The driver of the minivan, Kaushik Deb, 26, a resident of Troy, Michigan was killed on the impact.

Five of the six passengers were also killed. They were identified as Manoj Jharia, 35; Mili Jharia, 28; Nitin Agarwal, 29; Swati Agarwal, 25 and Shubham,rolex mens oyster perpetual datejust fake, 24. All were killed on the spot.

Gupta and Melanie Cesnick, 25, the driver of the other car, were shifted to a hospital. Gupta was treated and released, the report said.

Cesnick was taken to the emergency room,rolex oyster perpetual datejust blue face fake, but she did not have life threatening injuries, a nursing supervisor said.

A friend of the victims, who was travelling ahead in another van, told the paper that a group of 13 people were going from Michigan to Niagara Falls for a vacation. The police said there was no apparent cause of the crash.

5 Tips For Driving In Heavy Fog

Hazardous weather can make driving difficult even when your car is in tip top shape and even if you're an excellent driver. Accidents even the ones caused by weather and bad road conditions can have a negative impact on your auto insurance in Frisco TX. That's why it's so important to know how to drive in weather conditions that aren't optimal. Although rain, snow,fake datejust rolex oyster perpetual, ice and the wet roads they create are the biggest culprits when it comes to weather related accidents, heavy fog is one of the most hazardous driving conditions for North Texas drivers. Since fog is made of condensed water droplets,fake mens rolex datejust, it creates not only limited visibility but wet driving conditions as well.

Safety experts and experts in auto insurance in Frisco TX can tell you that staying off the roads when a heavy fog is predicted is the best way to keep from having a problem; but when that's not possible or a fog rolls in without warning, you should know how to handle your vehicle when your visibility is extremely limited.

1. Turn off the high beams. Even though your driving instincts tell you to turn on your car's high beams to see the road better like you would on a dark night it's not something you should do in the fog. High beams create a shadow on the fog, making it harder,rolex gold oyster perpetual datejust replica, not easier, to see where you're going.

2. Turn on low beams and hazard lights. You'll still need headlights; just be sure they're low beams. Turning on hazard lights or flashers also makes you more visible to other vehicles.

3. Keep defroster and wipes going. Fog can cause condensation on your windshield and the moisture from it can cause your windows to fog up as well.

4. Slow down. When the fog rolls in, slow down immediately. Try not to slam on the brakes as this could cause the car behind you to rear end you if they're not prepared. Leave plenty of room between you and other cars and don't change lanes unless you have to.

5. Lower your driver's side window. What you can't see, you may be able to hear. Listen for the sound of other vehicles, especially those revving up behind you. If you're in the right hand lane and you hear a car approaching,rolex oyster perpetual datejust value replica, you may be able to move onto the shoulder of the road to avoid a collision.

Anti collision technology in cars and trucks is advancing quickly. Some vehicles are already equipped with radar that alerts the driver if another vehicle is too close. Some cars even have the ability to apply the brakes themselves in hazardous situations. Until the day comes that collisions are a thing of the past, it pays to be a vigilant, knowledgeable driver. You'll lower your risk of injuries and accidents and keep rates for your auto insurance in Frisco TX low. To find the best auto insurance rates, call the Anthony Blackmon Agency in Frisco at 469 291 9006 for a quote. And visit Anthony Blackmon Agency to learn more about our auto insurance products.

6 Of The Greatest Movies Ever Sucked Before Reshoots

Ask a movie buff what's wrong with Hollywood, and at some point during the resulting feature length rant, they'll mention "test screenings." Showing a movie to a random group of people without film studies diplomas and asking for their opinions is how these things end up all samey and sterile. There are countless examples of good, challenging films that were hated by test audiences, from Goodfellas to Se7en to Babe: Pig In The City.

However,replica van cleef mini necklace, there are even more examples of test audiences saving classics from one of the most dangerous things in cinema: a good director with a terrible idea. Sometimes, even the most talented filmmakers need a room full of average Joes to tell them they're wrong. For example .

Within a few years of its release, Anchorman quotes became about 10 percent of all online discussion. People were suddenly kind of a big deal, things were escalating quickly,replica van cleef long necklace, etc. The movie popularized a new, improvisation heavy form of movie comedy . or, at least, the replacement movie did. That is, the one they made after throwing away half of the original.

When director Adam McKay first test screened Anchorman, it was a huge bomb. Which must have made him especially nervous, since it was incredibly difficult to get a studio interested in a '70s pastiche starring the guy from Elf in the first place. One of the biggest things people disliked was a lengthy plot parodying hippie era radicalism, featuring an extremist group called The Alarm Clock. Here's one scene from that subplot. While it's amusing enough on its own, you'll note that it has literally nothing to do with Anchorman.

Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph are in it, so it could pass for a fancily shot SNL sketch. It also stars Chuck D from Public Enemy in what was probably supposed to be his big comedy acting break. And this wasn't merely a couple of scenes; it was the central running gag. Originally, nearly half the movie would have followed those assholes, until they kidnap Christina Applegate's character and the Channel 4 News Team rescues her.

Rescuing the movie itself proved trickier, though. After test audiences tore it apart, the studio ordered McKay to rewrite and reshoot a significant number of scenes to leave no trace whatsoever of the extremist group subplot. It revitalized the entire franchise, not merely by not sucking,replica van cleef four leaf clover necklace, but also by setting up a plotline that would fuel the next two films. This is some guy called Mark.

It was a glorious return to Star Trek's serialized origins . and of course, it wasn't supposed to happen. When director Nicholas Meyer turned in the movie, Spock died, had a funeral, and that was it. The end. Test audiences found this really jarring and uncomfortable, even though Spock's death had already been known to Star Trek fans for a while (ironically leading to ). Everyone at Paramount was caught off guard by this except maybe Meyer, who was completely OK with having a dark ending, even if it meant pissing off every Trekkie in existence."I can probably take 'em all at the same time."

It was Paramount boss Michael "I saved Airplane!" Eisner who . As Eisner put it, they had the start of a Christ parable (Spock sacrificing himself), and now they simply needed to hint at the rest of it. For those of you who've never seen the best Jesus movie yet, Robocop, he was talking about resurrection.

And so, , the casket scene was added, along with a final voiceover of Nimoy reading the "Space, the final frontier" monologue from the original series. They couldn't have made it more obvious that he was coming back if they'd had him say, "Hey, I'm coming back." As a result, the same fans who would have probably called for boycotts left the movie prepared to buy tickets for at least 20 more installments.

Titanic was (and still is) a pretty weird fit for James Cameron. How does someone go from directing movies about time traveling kill bots to a period piece about star crossed lovers on a doomed ocean liner?

Geffen Records,

Or, to put it another way: How do you go from Guns N' Roses to Celine Dion?

Well, it turns out that Cameron did shoot a whole action sequence for Titanic . and it was dumb as hell. Late in the film, rich douchebag Cal (Billy Zane) unintentionally gives a valuable gem to Rose (Kate Winslet) before she runs off into the bowels of the sinking ship with Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio). In the version everyone saw an average of ten times, Cal briefly chases them before realizing he's, you know, in a sinking ship and turns around. However, in a deleted scene, Cal tells his employee Lovejoy he can have the gem "if he can get it" at which point this 50 year old manservant turns into a freaking Terminator.

It plays like the climax of a completely different movie,replica sweet alhambra necklace, probably starring Jean Claude Van Damme. Lovejoy relentlessly follows Jack and Rose into a flooding dining room as sparks fall on them from the ceiling (it isn't a real action scene without inexplicable sparks).

More punching, shooting, running, and terrible one liners ensue. Again, all of this happens while the Titanic is sinking. We already know the protagonists are in mortal danger. Having a previously sane man almost shoot their heads off as they try to escape is both silly and redundant at this point.
