This is a Google Sheets issue I hadn't been able to solve.<br />
<br />
I would like to retain my current dates, but add a custom time next to each date - not just add a time <i>format</i>.<br />

When I select the whole cell and go to Format>Number>More formats>More date and time formats... and select the m/d/yyyy h/mm/ss format, the time automatically goes to 0:00:00, but I want to be able change <i>all of the cells</i> to the same and specific time, say 06:30:00. </div>

Note that if I add a custom time directly into the box above, such as "m/d/yyyy 6:30:00", the "6:30:00" shows in the cells, but is not read as time, but as regular text. Here is what I mean. Notice that the fx section omits the time part and only shows the day, even though it appears to be present in the cells.</div>

And dog's psychology is much different from what most people think.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Lew Burke trained some of the most disobedient dogs, transforming them into some of the most obedient and happy dogs. He knows how dogs think. He has the good practice of repeating the most important points throughout the book so that you don't forget.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Here is a summary of the most important points Lew Berke tries to convey:</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* You must speak in the dog's language, not yours.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* To be a genuine pack leader, you have to assert yourself 100%. You must be a despotic leader for the dog to respect and obey you completely.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* There must only be one pack leader.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* Before assuming the pack leader position, you have to earn the dog's trust and confidence by establishing a dog-pack relationship (generally for 18 hours).</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* NEVER start working with any dog until a warm relationship has been established and the dog loved to be near you.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* NEVER reprimand or scold a dog after calling him to you, or he will associate you with pain and fear.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* ALWAYS praise the dog lavishly and offer food after calling him to you</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* ALWAYS reward the dog after the dog does something you told him to do.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* NEVER have the dog associate you with pain and fear.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* ALWAYS and IMMEDIATELY punish the dog after the dog does something undesirable, such as eats trash.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* He must ALWAYS associate you with love, warmth, food, and pleasure.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* Offer LOVE and STRENGTH simultaneously.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* Provide punishment stronger in nature than the desired action (to fight, take food from strangers, bark at visitors, etc.).</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* Provide positive and negative conditioning in the proper proportion to the act.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* Most aggressive dogs are shy.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">* Dogs are bisexual to dogs and humans.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294601753133963714.post-39957842672643294992017-06-07T03:30:00.002-07:002017-06-07T03:30:19.201-07:00How to make the dock appear instantlyOpen the terminal, and type:<br />

on the other hand if you've already spoken to them then you may likely already have flagged your number as 'active'. if so, there is little to lose by having some fun with them. i like to keep them on the phone for a long time and holding conversations specifically designed to make them feel awkward. always assert that you are not eekzues but rather a friend/family/lover; then consider talking points:</div>

- consider asking them what their favorite flavor of edible underwear is; see how far you go with that</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge from September 7th to December 6th, 2016, and Samsung Galaxy S7 from November 6th to today, December 27th; so I have been enmeshed exclusively in the Android ecosystem for the past three and a half months.</span><br />

Anyone who has switched OS's for only a few weeks and claims they know what it's like has not really understood the intricacies of a given ecosystem and is therefore not more qualified to make any sort of judgement than someone who has never used it before.</span></div>

<ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was interested in finding out firsthand what the other side was talking about. Are the two os's really comparable and are just a preference, or is one really better than the other. Most people bashing the other side have never actually tried the other OS, so their opinion is limited.</span></li>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Apple is frustratingly limiting and stubborn. For example, Apple doesn't support flash because of Steve Job’s grudge over Adobe’s refusal to make Photoshop for a Mac early on. It kept 16gb as a base model until 2016. The iOS calendar app did not allow the scheduling of repeating events until 2014, a bug Apple took over a year to fix.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Apple restricts Google access to a lot of essential features, like contacts in maps and adding calendar dates from gmail.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I felt entrapped in Apple's ecosystem. Apple wants to dictate to all users what apps to use use and how to use them. with iCloud bullying me to buy more space, iCloud photos and iTunes not working consistently or lacking features. Apple maps being an annoyance because it doesn't have stars, and navigation doesn't support one-handed use or zooming out while en-route. Mail has limitations. Not a fan of scaling.</span></div>

I do like the Apple Notes and Calendar apps, among other features. </span></div>

Other considerations: <br />Although most Android phones are cheaper than iPhones, and there is a great variety of them to choose from, these factors were not issues for me, as Samsung flagships ($670 for S7 and $780 for S7 Edge) cost about the same as the latest iPhones ($650 for iPhone 7 and $770 for iPhone 7 Plus).</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Setting up notifications (no badge app icons) settings, text to speech, even emoji keyboard is very complicated.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have to hold and drag to select text (no magnifying glass), instead of tapping. Hard to select text and control the cursor location; with 3D touch, you can just press hard on the keyboard and move the cursor freely and accurately, on Android you can control the cursor with the Google Keyboard’s space bar, but it’s not easy to use. No magnification of text, so can't see where you're pressing.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The S7 Edge requires multiple taps to get the back/save buttons, and when grabbing from a car holder it inadvertently touches the screen. Easy to accidentally press the Back/Recent buttons when grabbing phone, which is especially inconvenient when traveling with Google Maps, because pressing the Back key exits navigation mode.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">No "undo" or "redo text" keys. Backspace button on the pre-installed keyboard deletes way too fast when you press and hold. Inputting+ is a somewhat clumsy workaround for undo.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The biggest reason why I ended I switching back to Apple is its simplicity and reliability. All the settings - although not as exhaustive as those of Android - are simpler and intuitive to navigate. And the phone stays reliably fast for longer - upwards of a year versus only a few months on a Samsung. There is no noticeable sluggishness when unlocking the phone or opening apps, and apps are run smoother on an iPhone.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
1. Understand that the criteria has already been met in order to become a candidate.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. The candidates like every other American has the right to religious freedoms, the pursuit of happiness and every other freedom granted to US citizens<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Know that the candidate is also a citizen of this country.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. It is inevitable that disasters will occur. Fires, floods, hurricane, and tornadoes are part of the cycle of this planet. Once an area is classified as being in a state of emergency, federal assistance will or should be expected to render aid and services. If and when national security personnel are dispatched, including private security personnel there are standards and the expectation decency within the protocol will prevail. Receiving aid should not be contingent upon splitting families, rounding people up, or providing substandard housing that risks the health of its inhabitants.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A potential president must be willing to stand up and stand against such practices.</div>
<div>
<br /><div>
5. A good president has to be able to unite rather than divide. It isn’t possible to lead a country divided up along lines of red and blue states, religious affiliations, ethnic profiling, spreading hate, or worse yet, acting out of fear and foolishness. In order to unite, the presidential hopeful must have a vision and be in a position to persuade others to move forward towards the goals within a reasonable amount of time.<br /><br />6. The next president must have a clear agenda for building up and repairing the internal deterioration of this country. A high deficit is no different than having a pile of massive debt with no end in sight. It’s just an acceptable form of poverty with a pretty name. So the next president will be lord of the hood so to speak, at least for a little while.<br /><br />7. In order to clean up some of the problems, the presidential hopeful will have to start with the people surrounding him or her. It means not being able to shoot your lawyer within speaking or visual distance of security personnel, but having the courage to stand up against brutishness and feel safe in doing so. Values and standards are not defined by the candidate but by the ethics we live by.<br /><br />8. The next president must be chosen based on his or her own merit, not by past affiliations, a sense of nostalgia, family connections, ministers in the pulpit, or emotions. The choice has to be rational. Make a list if you must, but common sense and critical thinking must prevail. The whole family is not running, just one candidate.<br /><br />9. The presidential hopeful comes with a family, and like all families, someone is going to do or say something that will be taken out of context, something that is embarrassing, and something that has nothing to do with the person who wants to become the leader of the country.<br /><br />10. President is a title. It does not define who the individual is as a person. It does not require a likeable personality, celebrity status, good looks, or great brilliance. Those attributes are nice to have, but a good president knows how to surround himself or herself with people who have the abilities to compliment and carry out the agenda of the president, carry out policies, and persuade the rest of the nation and world, it’s the right thing to do for the right reasons. Members of the cabinet have to able to look at issues from all sides and evaluate the pros and cons. Focus on the cabinet, and that will reveal the type of person who is leading the country.<br /><br />11. Above all, a president must be diplomatic. The way candidates handle themselves while running is a clear indication of the type of diplomacy they will use. A name caller will always be a name caller. A bully will always do bullyish things. So pay close attention to what is done and how rather than just what is said. What is done on stage is not the way business is conducted behind closed doors. News is in the business of making information entertaining. Don’t be fooled by the edited and digitally enhanced images of a few seconds of a long day.<br /><br />12. Be reasonable…No president is ever going to be 100% truthful to the public. The oath to protect “against all enemies both foreign and domestic” is strictly upheld and that means disclosures are given on a need to know basis…so get over it! Chances are the average person isn’t 100% truthful in private or public. Now, go out and vote wisely.</div>

<br />
Scion tC 2005 - 2009+<br />
Yaris 2011 - 2014<br />
Camry 2003 - 2010<br />
Matrix 2005 - 2010<br />
Sequoia 2008 - 2010<br />
Sienna 2004 - 2010<br />
Tacoma 2005 - 2010<br />
Avalon 2005 - 2009<br />
Corolla 2005 - 2009<br />
FJ 2007 - 2009<br />
Highlander 2004 - 2009<br />
Rav 4 2004 - 2009<br />
Tundra 2007 - 2009<br />
4Runner 2004 - 2008<br />
Solara 2004 -2008<br />
<div>
<br />
The dealer wanted to charge me $300 for a new key and programming, so I bought an after-market chip key from Amazon for $20 and found someone at ACE who cut it for me for free (although they are not supposed to cut keys that are not theirs). Finding a place to cut your key is the hardest part. Other places wanted to charge me $30-$80 to cut and or program my own key.<br />
<br />
<div>
<h3>
Program Scion tC Remote-entry key fob (remote entry):</h3>
1. Driver's door open, key removed from ignition switch.<br />
2. Within 5 seconds, insert and remove key (can be any key) from ignition switch twice.<br />
3. Within 40 seconds, close and open driver's door twice.<br />
4. Insert and remove key from ignition switch.<br />
5. Within 40 seconds, close and open driver's door twice.<br />
6. Insert key into ignition switch and close the driver's door.<br />
7. Switch ignition ON and OFF once to program a remote while retaining the original codes. Switch ignition ON and OFF twice to program remote while erasing the original code. Switch ignition ON and OFF three times to check how many remotes are currently registered or five times to erase all registered remotes.<br />
8. Remove key from ignition switch.<br />
9. System should now lock and unlock vehicle. Once, twice, or five times depending on which mode has been selected. Once to four times, slowly, to indicate how many remotes are programmed.<br />
10. Within 40 seconds: Press and release LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously (on the new key).<br />
11. Within 3 seconds: Press remote LOCK or UNLOCK button.<br />
12. System should now LOCK and UNLOCK vehicle once to confirm registration or twice to indicate programming has failed.<br />
13. Within 40 seconds, repeat step 10 to program additional remotes. Up to 4 remotes can be programmed.<br />
14. To exit programming mode, open driver's door.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<h3>
Program Scion tC Chip Key (to start the ignition):</h3>
1. With you inside the car and door closed insert master key 5 times into ignition without turning it on. <br />
2. On the fifth time leave the key in the ignition and open and close the driver door six times. Immobilizer light should come on and remain on.<br />
3. Remove the master key and insert the new transponder key. Immobilizer light will begin blinking. Wait for immobilizer light to stop blinking (should take under a minute). The car should start.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Optional: Erase the existing keys</h3>
</div>
<div>
Something that you may want to do, if you do not know how many keys are already programmed, is erase the existing keys and start over. It is very similar to programming your keys. Using the previous instructions as a template: </div>
<div>
1. Using a master key (original key), insert (and remove) it from the ignition 6 times. On the 6th time, leave it in the ignition, then: </div>
<div>
2. Open and close the driver's door 7 times. </div>
<div>
3. The security light should now stay lit red. When you remove the master key, this will be the only key that is still programmed. </div>
<div>
After this, you should be able to add your keys. Toyotas will allow 4 or 5 master keys, and 3 valet keys to be programmed.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
In trying to answer the questions of "to how many schools should I apply" and "what are your chances of getting in", I decided to embark on the task of finding the answer.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The following graphs represent the chances of getting into graduate programs based on how many programs you apply into. Of course, this is assuming that you are an average candidate for each of the schools, with the application-pool-average GRE scores, research experience, recommendation letters, and personal statements.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Formula 1 is binomial distribution. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It represents the chance of getting into at least 1 school (y), </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
based on the number of schools applied (x).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is assuming the average acceptance rate of x schools is 5%.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see that to have greater than 50% chance of getting into a school,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you would need to apply to at least 14 schools.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
15% is the chance of getting into at least one of the <b>top four</b> best clinical psychology programs in California (given the average of acceptance rate of 3.88%): UCB, UCSD, UCLA, and USC. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Absolute chances of getting into at least one program when applying to the <b>top 10</b> clinical psychology programs is about 30% (3.4% average per school). You can see that to get even a 50% chance, you would need to apply to about 20 such schools!</div>

<b>Getting Started With Home Brewing: Equipment and Process</b><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>My friend is a huge beer enthusiast and homebrewer. He won a gold medal in a home brewing competition with over 500 participants. I also tried his beers - they are unparalleled. This is his advice on how to get started, what equipment to use, and the brewing process.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<div>
<div>
There are different pieces of equipment that you will need depending on what type of brewing that you choose to do. I'll go from easiest to most difficult. All methods assume you'll be making 5 gallon batches. First, here are the basic steps to the brewing process:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Mashing (optional)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Boiling of wort (malt sugar solution before it becomes beer) and addition of hops</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Cooling of wort to appropriate fermentation temperature </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Fermentation</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Packaging (either bottling or keging)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Drinking!!</span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Methods:</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<b>1) Partial volume boil extract</b><br />
<br />
With this method, you use a malt extract (which comes in either a syrupy liquid or dry, powdered form), make a strong solution with it, boil it while adding hops, and then add back water at the end to make the full beer volume. You can also steep actual crushed barley grains in a <a href="http://morebeer.com/view_product/15684//Bag_-_5%22_x_15%22_Disposable_Muslin" target="_blank">muslin bag</a> in the boil to add complexity. Equipment needed:<br />
<ul>
<li>5 gallon aluminum or stainless steel pot</li>
<li>Muslin bags</li>
<li>Fermenter. This can be a <a href="http://morebeer.com/view_product/16590/102270/Plastic_Bucket_6_Gallon" target="_blank">6 gallon food grade plastic bucket</a>, <a href="http://morebeer.com/view_product/28244/103700/Glass_Carboy_65_Gallon_-_Threaded_Neck" target="_blank">glass carboy</a>, or <a href="http://labelpeelers.com/better-bottle-plain-6-gallon-carboy-p-2672.html?gclid=CP35j5upo7UCFY-iPAod6CQA0g&zenid=d3iu3hre7gkd1cumk87m43gu65" target="_blank">Better Bottle</a>. I use glass carboys for fermentation because they don't scratch, which can provide a nice little nestling place for bacteria. I bought my carboys on craigslist. Plastic buckets are okay as long as they're relatively new and you're gentle with cleaning, i.e. don't use abrasive sponges. I've not used the Better Bottle for beer fermentation (we used them at the winery for storing excess wine).</li>
<li>Method for chilling the wort. The most rudimentary method (which I still use) is ice bath immersion. For this, you'll need a container that is large enough to contain both the pot and ~20 lbs. of ice. If you want to get more fancy, you can chill via coiled <a href="http://morebeer.com/view_product/19516/102205/Super_Efficient_Wort_Chiller_-_25_x_3_8%22_With_Brass_Fittings" target="_blank">convective heat exchanger</a> or <a href="http://morebeer.com/view_product/6242//Shirron_Brazed_Plate_Wort_Chiller" target="_blank">plate geometry heat exchanger</a> (this requires a small pump and a pot with a valve and barbed fitting at the bottom).</li>
</ul>
</div>

</blockquote>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<b style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2) Full volume boil extract</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This method is the same as the previous except you boil your full wort volume. Thus instead of a 5 gallon got, you'd need a 10 gallon pot. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>3) Full volume boil all grain</b><br />
<br />
This is the method that I employ. Instead of an extract, you use raw, crushed, malted barley grains to create the wort in the mash. It creates an arguably better product, you have more parameters of freedom for recipe formulation, and to me it's more rewarding. However it is much more complicated than extract brewing and requires more equipment and time per batch. In addition to the previously mentioned equipment, you'll need:<br />
<ul>
<li>10 gallon aluminum or stainless steel pot</li>
<li>Mash tun. I use a modified 10 gallon water cooler. The process for making one can be found <a href="http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cheap-easy-10-gallon-rubbermaid-mlt-conversion-23008/" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li>A large enough pot or enough pots to hold ~4 gallons of liquid.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<b>Other Equipment:</b><br />
<br />
For packaging the beer, you'll need the same equipment regardless of brewing method. You'll need:</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

This is less a condition of price but because they are unaware. Here are some examples:<br />
<h3>
<b>Staplers</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The traditional stapler is one where you have to push hard to make a decent staple. The new stapler, such as the Staples stapler, requires only a click, and it does the job for you - flawlessly.<br />

Most middle and high school students still use the old clumsy scientific and graphing calculators (or even worse - basic calculators) from over a decade ago, such as the outdated TI-30X (1993) and TI-84 (2004). Now, there are infinitely better (and even cheaper) choices, like the Casio FX-115ES Plus, TI-36X Pro (2011) and TI nSpire graphing calculator with large color display.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Lightbulbs</b></h3>

Incandescent lightbulbs have been used for over two decades. They are highly inefficientl and are being replaced (slowly) by other lights, such as fluorescent lamps. An incandescent lightbulb glows because it produces heat, which is a problem because the heat wastes a lot of electricity. A fluorescent bulb produces less heat, so it is much more efficient. A fluorescent bulb can produce between 50 and 100 lumens per watt. This makes fluorescent bulbs four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs. That's why you can buy a 15-watt fluorescent bulb that produces the same amount of light as a 60-watt incandescent bulb.</div>

That evening, David was with Molly at his house. Molly was a 37 at the time. They hid their relationship status from their social circle, but he confided in his closest friends that they were in a relationship, and that it was rocky and on-and-off. I do not know what went on between them that evening, but suddenly David went to his room. Then she heard a loud shot, and upon examining its source, discovered David's deceased body in the bathroom. David was 26.<br />
<br />
Molly met somebody several months later, and married him 10 months later, on February 14th, 2010, on Valentine's Day, and incidently David's Birthday.<br />

Example Review #1: Stone's Arrogant Bastard Ale</h3>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Numerical Rating (on a 5-point scale)</b><br />
look:<span style="color: orange;"> 4.5 </span>| smell:<span style="color: orange;"> 4 </span>| taste: <span style="color: orange;">4 </span>| feel:<span style="color: orange;"> 4 </span>| overall:<span style="color: orange;"> 4</span><br />
<br />
<b>Appearance</b> - Note the beer's color, carbonation, head and its retention. Is it clear or cloudy? Does it look lackluster and dull or alive and inviting?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: orange;">Pours a brilliant deep copper-red with a frothy, dense quarter inch khaki head that won't dissipate.</span></blockquote>
<b>Smell</b> - Bring the beer to your nose. Note the beer's aromatic qualities. Malts: sweet, roasty, smoky, toasty, chocolaty, nutty, caramelly, biscuity? Hops: dank / resiny, herbal, perfumy, spicy, leafy, grassy, floral, piney, citrusy? Yeast will also create aromas. You might get fruity or flowery aromas (esters) from ales and very clean aromas from lagers, which will allow the malt and hop subtleties to pull through.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: orange;">Floral, fruity hops, resin, pine, fresh cut grass leap from the glass. There's a subtle caramel malt sweetness in the background that hints of dark fruit.</span></blockquote>
<b>Taste</b> - Take a deep sip of the beer. Note any flavors, or interpretations of flavors, that you might discover. The descriptions will be similar to what you smell. Is the beer built-well? Is there a balance between the ingredients? Was the beer brewed with a specific dominance of character in mind? How does it fit the style?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: orange;">Dank hops dominate the initial flavor, with sweet caramel malt coming in and fading mid palate, bowing to resinous bitterness that lingers through the finish. Grapefruit, catty hops, and pine emerge in subsequent sips, but the balance is decidedly resiny and bitter. The malt sweetness provides nice respite in later sips, along with dark fruit.</span></blockquote>
<b>Mouthfeel</b> - Take another sip and let it wander. Note how the beer feels on the palate and its body. Light, heavy, chewy, thin / watery, smooth or coarse? Was the beer flat, over-carbonated?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: orange;">Body is on the full side, with moderate carbonation and slight alcohol warmth, with a big resiny bite.</span></blockquote>
<b>Overall</b> - Your overall impression of the beer.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: orange;">Decidedly bitter, but balanced in extremes, to an extent. A glutton for punishment, the promise of sweet malt draws me back in for the bitter hop beating.</span></blockquote>
Serving type: <span style="color: orange;">on-tap</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
Example Review #2: Old Rasputin XV Anniversary Barrel Aged Stout - North Coast Brewing</h3>
<br />
look:<span style="color: orange;"> 4.5 </span>| smell:<span style="color: orange;"> 4.25 </span>| taste: <span style="color: orange;">5 </span>| feel:<span style="color: orange;"> 4.75 </span>| overall:<span style="color: orange;"> 4.5</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">Served from a corked and caged bottle into a Redhook Limited Release tulip.</span><br />
<br />
Appearance <span style="color: orange;">- Pitch black with two finger mocha head that left pretty quickly. Fine lacing.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span>
Smell <span style="color: orange;">- Caramel bourbon bomb. Some chocolate, heavy roasty malts, mild vanilla. Bourbon dominates the smell.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span>
Taste <span style="color: orange;">- Wow. Caramel, vanilla, bourbon oak, mild chocolate. Smooth. Clean. Not too hot. Bitter finish. Pretty incredible.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span>
Mouthfeel <span style="color: orange;">- Considerably lighter than I had guessed. Moderate carbonation. Smooth and mildly boozy. Wouldn't guess it's 12%.</span><br />

The United States has the highest permissible BAC level, with some jurisdictions maintaining 0.10 as the BAC threshold for impaired driving. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Nine countries have set their BAC level at 0.08, while 27 countries use 0.05 as their legislated BAC. Only Lithuania’s BAC is designated to be 0.04, while three countries (Georgia, Moldova, Turkmenistan) have designated it at 0.03. Norway and Sweden stand together at 0.02, and Albania is alone at 0.01. </div>

<div class="p1">
Eight countries do not allow any traces of alcohol in a driver’s blood, while Russia designates its standard only with the term “drunkenness.” It is important to note that some countries do not have drunk-driving legislation at all or simply have not set a maximum BAC level.<br />

I think it's because I was going through especially hard times, dealing with depression and problems at school. It was especially hard because I could not relate to anyone in general and about my pain especially.<br />
<br />
This song was, and still is, a great consolation, because like a lot of Korn's songs it understands my pain and expresses it accurately, both lyrically and melodically.<br />
<br />
Interpretation:<br />
<br />
You and me we have no faces<br />
Soon our lives will be erased<br />
Do you think they will remember?<br />
Or will we just be replaced<br />
<br />
<div>
This is JD talking to the listener. He is saying that we, those who suffer from depression or other great distress, "have no faces" - are not understood by others, and that "Soon our lives will be erased" - we will die, either by suicide or other causes, and nobody will take note. We will just be replaced by other people, and that those that used to know us will forget about us, subconsciously erasing us from their memory, and occupy their memories with the new people, hence "replaced." JD is reflecting on how meaningless our lives are and how we have little significance to others.<br />
<br />
Oh I wish that I could see<br />
How I wish that I could fly<br />
Far from things that hang above me<br />
To a place where I can cry<br />
<br />
Jon wishes to find a place where he can find peace (a place where I can cry), away from the people and responsibilities that he can't deal with (things that hang above me) and that cause him unbearable pain. But his saying "wish" and "fly" suggests that he still hasn't found that place, and it might be out reach - a hopelessness that contributes to the desperation of these lines.<br />
<br />
So why can it be?<br />
No one hears me call<br />
Echoes back at me<br />
No one's there<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To all these nameless feelings<br />
I can't deal with in my life <br />
To all these greedy people <br />
Trying to feed on what is mine <br />
You've got to fill your hunger <br />
And stop fucking with my mind <br />
I know it's time<br />
To leave these places far behind<br />
<br />
He is crying out "why" in desperation. Why is no one there to understand and to comfort him? He is crying out in pain because he can't find rest, but it seems like no one responds and no one cares. The "echoes" are his own cries resonating back, with no one hearing him. Not his friends, not his family, not god; no one. <br />
<br />
The "nameless" feelings are the feelings that he feels that have no names because they are so intense and uncommon to normal human experience that they have not been experienced by enough people to even warrant a name. Only he feels them, and nobody else can understand these feelings or even remotely relate. These feelings are so intense and unknown to him that he does not have the emotional resilience or strength to endure these feelings.<br />
<br />
He also says that people are taking advantage of his inability to cope with his state, which hurts him even more. This theme returns in their next album "Take a Look in the Mirror" with the song "Counting On Me" ("You see the pain in my face / While you keep putting me down"). He tells them to satisfy their hunger for messing with him elsewhere and leave him alone. He says that he can't bear this anymore and wants to end the pain by leaving the places where people are causing the unbearable feelings. He does not say what that place might be - a vacation resort? a hospital? afterlife? The location is immaterial - the point is that he is extremely distressed and wants to find peace.<br />
<br />
You and me we have no faces<br />
They don't see us anymore<br />
Without love as they had promised<br />
And no faith for what's in store<br />
<br />
He says that his and the listeners' lives have already been "erased" by those malevolent people. They betrayed us by not giving their promised love and support.<br />
<br />
Where are all these feelings hiding? <br />
Dancing in and out my mind <br />
Burning up all that I long for <br />
Feeding me to my decline <br />
Where are you? <br />
My soul is bleeding <br />
I am searching <br />
Am I blind? <br />
All alone and bound forever <br />
Trapped inside me for all time <br />
<br />
This is the bridge of the song and my favorite part because it captures my frustration with not being able to identify the source and, therefore, the cure for my debilitating feelings, which cause unimaginable distress. <br />
<br />
These feelings "burn up" my ambitions and take away all the joy from life. There is not opening for these feelings to escape because they are engraved in my mind forever. "No one's there" means that he is helpless and that THERE IS NO HOPE.<br />
<br />
In conclusion, this song has nothing to do with him being angry at people for material reasons because it is much deeper than that. He is talking about those around him who are supposed to be supportive, but who instead show insensitivity, nay, even worse - indifference - and take advantage of him while he is in this vulnerable and despairing state.<br />
