![]() This provides a lot of space for luggage and still lets you seat up to 10 people in the van. We’ve found two that are very popular for us. The first is removing the two driver’s side fourth-row seats. If you don’t need all 12 seats installed, Nissan brags that there are 323 other seat configurations for the NV. And that’s probably fine – who would want to climb all the way back there to buckle in a child anyway? We’ve found that full size child seats will fit easily in the middle two rows, but they’d be a little too big for the back row. The middle rows’ seats are medium-sized, and the rear row’s seats are slightly smaller in order to fit four people across the back. ![]() The driver and front passenger seats are the largest and most comfortable. What you see next is the most common configuration of the seats in the van, a 2-3-3-4 configuration. The leather seats make for much easier clean-up and they have proven to be very comfortable. When you’re traveling across six states in a single day, you need the flexibility to eat on the go. While we didn’t let them eat in the van for the first few months, we knew we could only hold out for so long. Our kids, like all kids, make messes in whatever vehicle they ride in. We opted for leather seats and have not regretted that choice. The interior is where the NV really shines. One thing we’ve noticed is that the tires actually *look* small on the van, even though they are fairly big ones. Here’s another picture from the side that really belies his size. Sometimes I joke with Kim that she finally has that pick-up truck she’s always wanted… (She has not bought into this idea and says she will still be getting a real one when the kids are grown.) Similarly, the front of the van gives off a very “truck” vibe. It’s way less than a comparable Suburban, and it seats all of Jesus’ disciples comfortably. And people regularly come up to us and ask questions about the van - What is it? How much does it cost? How many people can it seat? Seriously, there is no better way to road trip with a big family other than a full-blown RV, which just isn’t in our budget. That is until we realized just how great for travel he is. At first, Kronk seemed even less cool than driving a minivan-I mean, he’s huge. When we bought our Dodge Caravan in 2007, we knew we traded our coolness for parenthood. His truck pedigree notwithstanding, Kronk is still a van, and therefore suffers from a certain level of van stigma. In fact, if you put your finger over the top half of the rear of the van in the photo below, it actually looks like a pick-up truck. Because it’s built directly on the truck platform, you can see a truck profile in the van. Nissan started making the passenger version of the 3500 in 2011 to capture market share in the full-size van category. The Nissan NV Passenger Van ( official site) is built on Nissan’s Titan 1-ton platform and is a direct adaptation of Nissan’s heavy duty 3500 cargo vans. This review is everything we love, and a few things we don’t, about our favorite oversized family member! The Exterior – Function over Form ![]() Assuming we’ve averaged about 45 mph over that time, we figure we’ve spent a little more than 300 hours in the van and most of that time has been with at least six of the seven of us in tow. In the first year of ownership we’ve driven him 15,000 miles. Since Clifford is still running, Kim typically drives him on errands around town, and we reserve Kronk for longer road trips or whenever we’re hauling more than just the seven of us. Our Dodge Caravan (“Clifford the Big Red Van”) had just turned nine years old, and with our kids aged 11, 11, 11, 10, and 7 at the time, we knew we were going to want something bigger to travel in as they grew into the teen years. We purchased Kronk new just over a year ago from a dealer in Frederick, Maryland. If you’re a Disney fan, you may have guessed that Kronk is named after the oversized and kindhearted cartoon character of the same name whose only real flaw is being a little naive–and even that’s pretty endearing. Meet Kronk, our 2015 Nissan NV 3500 12-Passenger Van.

This pack is maintained by PeridexisErrant, and aims to include everything - while ensuring that ignoring any option still works for new players. Windows: PeridexisErrant's DF Starter Pack There are several packs available for different platforms, with different maintainers and release schedules. Of course there are a few personal touches too, but the vast majority of each is thanks to others - and not least Tarn and Zach for Dwarf Fortress itself. It is also important to note that most of the contents of each pack were created by many members of the community and just collected, configured, and redistributed by the maintainer of each pack. Most include just about everything that still works and could be useful. The packages are built around the idea that newbies will likely have more difficulty with the game than with a package of utilities - which often make the game easier - and that there are many players who are not new but would still prefer an option to get all the extras in one place with a minimum of fiddling. ![]() In general, it's safe to simply ignore any option you don't understand and trust that the default settings will be okay.
![]() ![]() Some people just don't want to drink alcohol, some can't and some like to enjoy delicious fruit flavors. There it is lovingly cared for and it is definitely recognizable in taste and quality. Imagine that it is not a wine from the "southern slopes", but from northern Bohemia. Of course, we also think of Czech production, so we have a delicious wine of several varieties from the Chrámce winery. You can choose from a number of Israeli wines, often from traditional family wineries, which supply their wine to the whole world. So it is not directly from us, but from our shop, where the stands with Israeli and Czech kosher wine are still full and we guarantee their kosher origin, quality and taste. "Blessed are you, Lord, who created the fruit of the vine." He plays prim at a seder dinner, about Purim, it is a necessity about Shabbat, a Jewish wedding or circumcision. Wine is part of the vast majority of Jewish holidays. And it is becoming an increasingly sought-after product of even the most famous wine regions that you can think of. The excellent Israeli kosher wine comes directly from Israel, and thanks to skilful Jewish winemakers who live in the diaspora, their production has spread throughout the world. And it is exactly the same in modern times. Jews specialized in the production of Israeli wine not only at home but also in the diaspora, where many were forced to go. In short, kosher wine has always been produced as far as the history and abilities of archaeologists and scientists go. ![]() It has a long tradition in Judaism that dates back to biblical times. ![]() It's easy, drinking wine is not just a whim. It is they who are with the wine from the actual processing of the grapes, they bottle the wine, stopper it, label it… Such kosher Israeli wine tastes not only in the sun, but also in loving care. And it is made only by Orthodox Jews according to strict Jewish traditions. This is a wine that is produced according to strict rules and procedures. White or red? Kidush wine? Grape juice? Or maybe a bottle of good grape must? We have everything. And we also include a glass of quality kosher wine. Jews do not drink "to health", but "to life." Many necessities are needed for a quality life. ![]() ![]() ![]() We're working, we're not talking about them.

In 1953 Cochran's family moved to Bell Gardens, California. Also, rather than taking piano lessons, he began learning guitar, playing the country music he heard on the radio. He took music lessons in school but quit the band to play drums. His parents were from Oklahoma and he always said in interviews that he was from Oklahoma. 5 Posthumous releases and honors Ĭochran was born in Albert Lea, Minnesota, as Edward Raymond Cochran.His songs have been much covered by bands such as The Who, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Move, Dick Dale & his Del-Tones, Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Humble Pie, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Teenage Head, Tiger Army, UFO, The White Stripes, the Stray Cats, and the Sex Pistols. In 1987 Cochran was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Though his best-known songs were released during his lifetime, more of his songs were released posthumously. Soon afterwards, Liberty Records signed him to a recording contract.Ĭochran died aged 21 after a road accident, whilst travelling in a taxi, in the town of Chippenham, Wiltshire during his British tour in April 1960 having just performed at Bristol's Hippodrome theatre. His first success came when he performed the song " Twenty Flight Rock" in the movie The Girl Can't Help It, starring Jayne Mansfield. In 1955, he formed a duet with the guitarist Hank Cochran (no relation), and when they split the following year, Cochran began a song-writing career with Jerry Capehart. He was involved with music from an early age, playing in the school band and teaching himself to play blues guitar. ![]() Ĭochran was born in Minnesota and moved with his family to California in the early 1950s. His image as a sharply dressed, rugged but good-looking young man with a rebellious attitude epitomized the stance of the 50s rocker, and in death he achieved an iconic status. He experimented with multitrack recording and overdubbing even on his earliest singles, and was also able to play piano, bass and drums. ![]() Cochran's rockabilly songs, such as " C'mon Everybody", " Somethin' Else", and " Summertime Blues", captured teenage frustration and desire in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Edward Raymond 'Eddie' Cochran (Octo– April 17, 1960) was an American musician. ![]() ![]() ![]() Make sure the promo works on all products and not just canvas or other types of prints.

We also constantly color calibrate our printers and monitors to make sure we continue to provide the best HD Metal Prints possible.Ĭhromaluxe aluminum has been revolutionary for the healthcare industry due to the surface of the material being so easy to clean & maintain, as well as it's inherent resistance to bacteria and other pathogens. This enables us to produce the most vibrant print possible while maintaining the most accurate color across all types of monitors. If we use all the best materials on the market but don't manage color, it's like painting a Lamborghini with a can of spray paint! For the widest color gamut possible we work in the Adobe RGB 1998 color space. Lastly, the most challenging and important of all these factors is color management. We also only use Chromaluxe brand aluminum sheets for the best vibrance, clarity and longevity on the market. We use genuine Epson archival inks and Epson transfer paper which creates the highest resolution image possible. At Artbeat Studios we only use the latest and greatest Epson Printers and upgrade regularly as new technology becomes available. You need the best equipment, best materials and best color management to achieve a true HD Metal Print. There are 3 important factors necessary when creating the best metal prints. Unlike other print mediums, you can wipe away fingerprints easily with a soft microfiber cloth and glass cleaner, which will leave your HD Metal Prints looking like new for a lifetime! The Process At this point the inks are bonded with the aluminum for permanent protection and longevity! Because the inks are infused beneath the coating of the metal these prints are also scratch resistant and hold up perfectly in moist environments. Rather than printing your image directly onto aluminum which results in a lower resolution print that scratches easily, we use the Dye Sublimation Process! During the dye sublimation process your image is first printed onto a transfer paper with "dye" inks then "sublimated" into the aluminum sheet with heat and pressure. Our HD Metal Prints are made with recycled aluminum and is 100% recyclable. I highly recommend Artbeat for your next printing project. Top notch company! And did I mention it arrived quickly about 10 days after my order. It came shipped in a wooden shipping container completely protecting it. We are very pleased with the final product. ![]() The piece is absolutely perfect, great clarity and color. We had a large 30 x 45 metal print of our family done by Artbeat. Brandon Hollien Photography Carolann Van Wyen HIGHLY recommend this company and the products they stand behind. It’s a picture i took of the North Shore, Hawaii. I was able to give this metal picture to a good friend of ours. All of the images were so great! Loved all of them! There was one imperfection on a wall mount and I contacted them and they responded quickly and replaced my print at no charge to me! Customer service here has always been top notch! Love all of my prints and will definitely use them in the future! Brandon Hollien I have been ordering Metal prints from Artbeat studios for a few years and recently had a larger order from them. ![]() ![]() This is often called “the middle path” that keeps them in a calm state. However, there are other techniques, such as the Enso circle.Įnso circle can remind seafarers that they should never lean toward one end of the spectrum in every aspect of life. For example, meditation could be one of these practices. For this reason, there are many practices that seafarers can use to make life on board more enjoyable. The issue of seafarers’ wellness is particularly important as it is a profession that faces daily difficulties. It provides a sense of calm, concentration, and rejuvenation. In meditation, the Enso indicates the perfect meditative state in which your mind is detached from all and in connection with the infinite. Even seasons go through this cyclic process. On a social level, the Enso circle can be seen to symbolize harmonious cooperation between one another.įurthermore, maybe the circle illustrates the cyclic nature of life: birth, death, and rebirth. According to many people, the white circle can indicate emptiness, or it can take on the idea that it contains all it needs within its center. ![]() There are many different meanings about the Enso. Depending on the artist’s intentions, you will encounter Ensō Circles left slightly open or entirely closed. Represents a spiritual and mental balance more than anything else. ![]() This freedom from paradoxical mindfulness can improve well-being as well as help you to enter a state of flow. The goal of this circle is to free the mind from thoughts of anger and fear. ![]() ![]() Your NOOK is now authorized to read DRM-protected content from Adobe Digital Editions.

If you’re going to use your dust extractor to clean the floors in your shop or on the site, take a look at the onboard accessory storage. But they’re unique, so don’t expect to find that feature in other models. If you need to clear the filter without turning the vacuum on, it’s nice to have. Hilti AirBoost automatic filter cleaning technology for consistently high suction (can be switched off for quieter operation and to increase water capacity) Applications include dust extraction from grinding, cutting, slitting, drilling and dry coring tools Universal and sturdy vacuum cleaner for use with all Hilti tools Dust capacity: 75 lbs. Metabo features a cleaning cycle-only mode on their dust extractor. For $500+, you don’t want 10 gallons of spilled water to mess up your 9-gallon dust extractor. Those that do include some kind of sensor to shut off the unit before any liquid reaches the motor. When you go to buy a Pro-level dust extractor, not all carry a wet/dry vac rating. When you need full collection power, use a separate power source for the tool. Pro Pick: While nearly every Pro-level dust extractor has this, there are only a handful of trades that will use it. Festool’s CT 36 Auto Clean lets you dial in the frequency of filter cleaning from 12 seconds down to none at all. Some dust extractors allow you to turn this feature off – something to consider when you realize that you lose suction power during the cleaning cycle that occurs every 15 seconds or so. It adds to the price, but it’s an effective method to extend the filter life and keep dust from inadvertently escaping. Metabo uses an electro-mechanical system to vibrate their filters clean. That can potentially limit the life of the filter since it’s only designed to push air one way. Most dust extractors use reverse airflow to clean their filters. You’ll lose even more if your unit doesn’t have this feature. The dust extractors we’ve tested lose between 1% and 7.5% of their performance once we’ve sucked up some dust – and that’s with the filter cleaning. You won’t find auto filter cleaning on every dust extractor, but it’s nice to have. ![]() For a good all-around dust extractor, look for at least 90″ of static water lift. ![]() Pro Pick: Like CFM, the application matters. ![]() ![]() Rebranded DSC PowerSeries (such as some ADT systems) should also work with this interface.All PowerSeries series are supported, please post an issue if you have a different panel (PC5020, etc) and have tested the interface to update this list.Does not require the DSC IT-100 serial interface.Send keys to the panel for any partition.Panel time - retrieve current panel date/time and set a new date/time.Alarm triggered, armed/disarmed, entry/exit delay, fire triggered, keypad panic keys.Monitor the alarm state of all partitions:.At this point, this interface resolves all of the earlier issues (and goes beyond my initial goal of simply seeing if the alarm is triggered). ![]() After resolving the data errors, it was possible to reverse engineer the protocol by capturing the Keybus binary data as the security system handled various events. Updating the existing projects to fix this turned out to be more troublesome than starting from scratch, so this project was born. Poking around with a logic analyzer and oscilloscope revealed that the errors capturing the Keybus data were timing issues. No implementations to do useful work with the data.Read-only - unable to control the Keybus to act as a virtual keypad.Limited data decoding - there was good progress for armed/disarmed states and partial zone status for a single partition, but otherwise most of the data was undecoded (notably missing the alarm triggered state).While there has been excellent discussion about the DSC Keybus protocol and a few existing projects, there were major issues that remained unsolved: Tapping into the data lines is an ideal task for a microcontroller and also presented an opportunity to work with the Arduino and FreeRTOS (via esp-open-rtos) platforms. I was interested in finding a solution that directly accessed the pair of data lines that DSC uses for their proprietary Keybus protocol to send data between the panel, keypads, and other modules. I Wanted: Notification if the alarm triggered. I Had: A DSC security system not being monitored by a third-party service. ![]() This repository is an esp-open-rtos port of the Arduino dscKeybusInterface library, primarily to support direct native integration with Apple HomeKit & Siri as a standalone accessory using esp-homekit (without using an intermediary like Homebridge, HAP-NodeJS, etc.) This enables existing DSC security system installations to retain the features and reliability of a hardwired system while integrating with modern devices and software for under $5USD in components. This library directly interfaces esp8266 microcontrollers to DSC PowerSeries security systems for integration with home automation, notifications on alarm events, and usage as a virtual keypad. ![]() |
