Winterize Your Boat's Water System | BoatUS - Duration: 2:44.
You know, running water is a great thing to have on a boat.
But when the winter comes around, it's time to put the system to bed.
Hi, I'm Mark Corke from BoatUS Magazine.
Today I'm going to walk you through the steps necessary to winterize the water system on
your boat so when the spring comes, you won't have any surprises because there will be no
freeze up and you'll be ready to go back on the water.
If you have a hot water heater on your boat that's heated by electricity, it's important
to switch that off before you drain the water so you don't burn out the element.
To get started, we need to pump out as much of the water as you can from the freshwater
system.
I'm going to do that just by opening up the faucet and I'm going to leave that running
until the tank is empty.
Before adding any antifreeze to the system, I need to bypass the hot water tank.
There's two reasons for that.
One is we drain all the water out to make sure that there's nothing in there that can
freeze and secondly because this is a 12-gallon tank and I've bypassed that, I don't have
to fill this up with antifreeze to winterize the system.
So I've run all the water out of the faucets and the tank is now empty, so what I'm going
to do is add 3 gallons of nontoxic antifreeze to the tank, and then I'll be running that
through to make sure that everything is protected.
If you have a larger tank, you may need more antifreeze than I do, and if it's a smaller
boat, then you'll need less.
Some tanks will have some water remaining in them, even after you've pumped them out.
So make sure that you put enough antifreeze in there that any water remaining won't dilute
the antifreeze too much.
So this is the third gallon, so once this is in, I'm going to put the cover back on
the tank and we can go inside and run it through the faucets to protect the system.
Once I get pink antifreeze coming out of the faucet, I know that the system is winterized.
If you have an icemaker or any other equipment on the boat that uses the freshwater system,
ensure that this is winterized in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Now that we've replaced the freshwater with antifreeze and the system is all set for the
wintertime, I'm going to turn off the breaker and you'll notice that I've actually added
a little label that says it's winterized, so that if anybody else comes on the boat,
they know not to turn this on.
Now that I've winterized the system, all I have to do come the spring is just flush it
out with freshwater and I'll be good to go.
Thank you for watching, and if you've got any comments, we'd love to hear them.

Writing The First Kiss In A Screenplay by Pamela Jaye Smith - Duration: 7:07.
Film Courage: How important is the first kiss in a romantic comedy?
Pamela Jaye Smith: It is…maybe…the…MOST important moment followed closely by the one
towards the end where the two people realize and admit to each other their love for each
other.
But that first kiss, wow that's amazing!
That's when you're standing on the threshold of paradise and that's when you know whether
or not if it's going to work.
Because if that kiss does not transport your characters, it does not turn on all the lights
and all the bells and whistles and the fireworks and all that people talk about in poetry and
literature for thousands and thousands of years, if that's not there, there is no
story, there is no story.
So building up to the first kiss, you need to have that tension, that push-pull so that
when you get there and the positive and the negative come together, sparks do fly.
Film Courage: I'm thinking of [the movie] PRETTY WOMAN.
So there's the implication of this.
There's definitely the agreement the sort of business arrangement, but I'm trying
to remember does that actually happen until they have the first kiss and feel something
for one another?
Pamela Jaye Smith: That's when it happens, at that first kiss.
Now I think they've been feeling a comradeship, they've been feeling admiration, they've
been having fun, they've been finding that they do agree on some things and not others,
and so there is an affinity, there's definitely an affinity.
And you're right, they presumably have been having relations.
And she's a pro, so okay.
You figure it's got to be pretty good.
But that moment of actually kissing is when the magic really starts to happen.
Now remember, she was a professional.
There is a reason why people who are workers, there is no kissing allowed because that creates
let's say an energetic, electrical, etheric, esoteric connection between people that really
does something, it can change everything.
Film Courage: It seems like two with those two characters [in the movie PRETTY WOMAN
- Vivian and Edward] once they got out of their roles, because his role was of "Here,
I'm going to pay you.
You are kind of beneath me and I'm this prestigious business man."
And she's like "Who do you think you are?"
And "I've seen guys like you, you're a dime a dozen."
But once they got out of those identities and they became real, that's when it seemed
like the real kiss and the real relationship happened because they stopped being in their
element.
Pamela Jaye Smith: Yeah, that's a good point, when they just became themselves and not the
masks and not the costumes.
Film Courage: I like that.
Pamela Jaye Smith: And there's a wonderful line in JERRY MAGUIRE before they meet the
first time.
And he says "You know, this changes everything?"
And she says "Oh, I hope so!"
Film Courage: And what I love is the sister in JERRY MAGUIRE [Actress Bonnie Hunt as Laurel
Boyd] and I want to talk about that…the sister in JERRY MAGUIRE and that wonderful
scene where she's having her women's group [in the living room] and he comes in and there
are a few women in the group that look at him [Tom Cruise as Jerry Maguire] but there
are just dagger pointed his way.
And then the Jiminy Cricket friend [in most romantic comedies], I want to talk about that
role, the third person who is either trying to talk them into getting together or separate
them.
Pamela Jaye Smith: When I first started selecting films for this book [Romantic Comedies: These
Films Can Save Your Love Life], Ken Lee, the publisher [Michael Wiese Productions] said
"You have to include TRAINWRECK."
And I went "TRAINWRECK?
I wouldn't even go see that.
Why would I…?
No!
This is about people's relationships getting better.
You don't want to see TRAINWRECK."
And he said "Go see TRAINWRECK."
I could not believe it.
It's really good!
And it has in it the qualities of joy and dignity and passion and integrity.
I was so surprised.
Now one of the reasons it does it because the Jiminy Cricket character, the best friend
is LeBron James, okay!
That works!
And he is best friends with Bill Hader and sees something in Amy Schumer.
He sees what she can be.
And he convinces the two of them to get back together.
And to admit their feelings for each other.
So that's a wonderful instance of that different kind of love triangle (that you've pointed
out), where you've got the lovers and then that third person who helps them see what
it is that they have or what they could have.
Film Courage: Let's say when that third person is actually trying to prevent them
from being together because…like if you take PRETTY WOMAN and I forget his name [in
the movie] but George Constanza's character on SEINFELD, the one that is Edward's business
partner.
And he's kind of this negative force and antagonizing them.
So that third person as the one who is trying to prevent them from being together?
Pamela Jaye Smith: Yes, you need the third person either helping them because they they're
not wanting to get together or (as you described) trying to keep them apart.
Well you need that for dramatic tension.
And also we need the secondary characters to help tell us things about the main characters
so they can make those statements.
You know when you say "Oh, I can't have him saying that?
He'd never say that about himself."
Well give that line to his friend.
Or give the line to her friend.
Who would say "Ahh!
Have you no idea what this guy is like?"
So the third character is very, very important in any script.
All of the secondary characters need somehow to be showing us something about the main
characters or they don't need to be there.
Now whether it's they are people that the main characters do something to or with or
for, but they are there to service the main characters in the storytelling.

#04 Work in Bali [ENG SUB] - Duration: 6:22.
Halo everyone
May peace be upon you
How are you guys? I hope everyone are doing well
I didn't realize, It's been 1.5 years I have been live and working in Bali
I'm working as a software engineer/programmer in a company in Bali
So Far, ... OK
Not much problem or whatsoever
And....., since I move to Bali, I seldom went to Mall and often go out...., enjoying the nature!
Live and working in Bali is...........
"So far........."
"and......, the good thing here is we can go sightseeing, many tourist attractions"
"Comfortable, good, save"
"Even though the rent is high but it still cheap compare to Jakarta"
"Food price is depends ..."
"There are plenty stall selling cheap food"
"There are plenty cheap food, around 10,000 IDR (~0.74 USD) per meal"
"There are expensive and cheap foods,"
"Plenty of Halal food, even more Haram foods"
"So, which 'Clubs' have you been ?... "
"None"
But the fact is..., not everyone want to work in Bali, especially in IT sector like Me.
They prefer to work in Jakarta, wondering why?
"Not sure how to say..."
"The center of IT is in Jakarta"
"And there might be a concern, It's easy to move from one company to another in Jakarta"
"Won't be so easy in Bali"
"Especially fresh graduate"
"There are not many (IT company) in here"
"It's easy to take leave for interview, half day leave will do"
"I think it won't be so comfortable live in Bali for those who love to spent time in the Mall"
"Yeah, right, it's not suitable place for those who like to spent money in Malls"
"And if they are not fan of nature, they won't like it living in here"
"Especially people who doesn't like to go out"
"Yeah"
"The thing which I love the most, there is always a place we can visit on weekend other than Mall"
"We spent less money compare to hangout in the Mall "
"Here we just need some gas and money for parking ticket, and money for food"
"Most of the people who work in Bali is looking for comfort place"
"Especially our office, Work life balance"
"Don't talk about company in specific, it can cause problem later"
"But I didn't say any ''Brand"
Someone ever told me that working in Bali is 'Dangerous', hmm, what does it means?
"Maybe it's dangerous because of many temptation"
"Many Bars, Cafes, Pubs, etc,... entertainments."
"It's come back to us, whether we can control our-self or not"
"Some people might think, "Oh, so you working in Bali?, foreigners, girls, etc" "
"But most of the time we are in the office"
So, in conclusion...., is it recommended to work in Bali ?
"So, can we say it's recommended for youngsters and seniors?"
That's all about it, a little bit sharing from Me and friends
That's all for this video
See you again in next videos

An Ending of Sorts | Episode 70 | Middlemarch: The Series - Duration: 10:32.
[Episode 70 - An Ending of Sorts]
So, this is going to be the last thing I film.
Umm, I've loved filming and I can't wait to edit everything, but...
I don't know.
I mean, I know it's only the beginning of Spring Break
and I had planned to film for the whole year, but...
after I got the okay from everyone to put this online,
I thought about what that's going to mean
and I just kind of want to end it here.
I know that might disappoint some people, umm,
and I don't want it to feel like I'm cutting this short
because I've like- gotten the girl, or whatever, but...
I think so much of why I love this footage is because we didn't know it was going online.
And with the potential exception of Mr. Fred Vincy,
we didn't try to perform our lives.
And now we know it's going online, I just don't want the tone of it to change, so...
yeah.
I've been thinking a lot about what I'm going to do with the
massive amount of footage that I have to edit
and I think instead of one long documentary,
I'm gonna try to break it up into thematic episodes?
Which means if you're watching this right now,
you've stuck with us for a really long time, so...
thank you.
So for those of you who have been with us this whole time,
I feel like I owe it to you to let you know where we're all headed.
Umm.
Lydgate is going to Freshitt in the fall,
and it seems like he's making himself okay with that.
Umm, Rosy's starting a beauty vlogging channel.
Fred and Max are doing the whole long distance relationship thing
while Max is at the lab in New York,
and even though it is not nearly summer,
Fred had me proofread the first letter he's going to send
and it is... dramatic.
And now that Fred is taking Max's old job at Stone Court,
it looks like Max is joining us at Lowick in the fall.
Oh, the big news for Celia and Jamie is that
Celia is knitting them a beanie for their birthday,
and I don't want to spoil too much, but
it's very cute.
And as for Billie and me, umm, I don't know.
But I guess that's kind of the point.
When I started filming in the fall,
I thought I'd end up with this neat ninety-minute documentary
about all of our important moments.
But if I've learned anything this year, it's that our stories aren't important.
I mean, we didn't start a revolution,
or follow our dreams against all odds.
We didn't make history -
we didn't even make the local news, but...
we lived.
These lovely, messy, ordinary lives,
and I think that's what matters.
We might not change the world, but
we're sure as hell gonna live in it.

Setelah Kecelakaan Lalu Lintas Taeyeon Mempromosikan Lagu Baru di SNS ….. Tanggapan dari Warga Net

Beberapa warga net memberikan komentar terkait kegiatan promosi lagu terbaru Taeyeon,
"Jika ini masalahnya, masuk akal untuk menjelaskan situasi yang terjadi saat itu,
penyebab kecelakaan, atau untuk meminta maaf",
"Pecandu SNS", "Anda memiliki kebanggaan atau kekuatan mental",
"Tampaknya teaser itu tidak diupload setelah kecelakaan, "SNS adalah pemborosan hidup".
Di sisi lain, warga net memberikan reaksi atas kejadian Taeyeon,
"Tidakkah Anda berpikir terlalu ketat menetapkan standar untuk para penghibur?",
"Ini bukan mabuk saat mengemudi atau hit and run",
"keegoisan dilakukanwarga net, Taeyeon harus meminta maaf dan memberi kompensasi kepada korban",
"Meminta maaf pada supir taksi apa masalahnya?".
Menurut polisi dan saksi di Gangnam, Seoul,
Taeyeon terlibat dalam kecelakaan beruntun saat mengemudikan mobil Mercedes Benz-ny di jalur pertama dari 3=tiga jalur.
Keesokan harinya, pada tanggal 29 November,
melalui istagram pribadinya Taeyeon menuliskan, "Mohon maaf karena membuat khawatir.
Saya meminta maaf kepada sopir dan beberapa orang yang tidak menginginkan kontak saya.
Saya melakukan kesalahan. Saya akan mengemudi dengan lebih hati-hati. Maaf telah menganggu" tulisnya.

Weekend Reflection - December 3, 2017 - Duration: 1:54.
(calm music)
- Hello everyone, and welcome to our Weekend Reflection,
brought to you by Spirit Juice Studios.
This week, we begin the season of Advent.
Advent comes from a Latin word, adventus,
which means arrival.
It's also the first Sunday of the liturgical year.
I want to talk to you about something that
is a little bit counter-cultural.
Most people look at January 1st
as a time to hit the reset button,
so it's a time to start over and a time to make resolutions.
Well, for us as Catholics,
instead of doing January 1st as that time,
really, we should see that this first Sunday of Advent
is an opportunity for us to
hit the reset button in our spiritual lives,
to make resolutions and to prepare,
which goes right along with the season.
So, I encourage you not to wait until January 1st.
If you want to make resolutions
with the new year with everyone else, that's fine,
but as Catholics, let's be resolved
to be bearers of good news, the Gospel.
Let us go to confession.
Hopefully, in your parishes there are extra opportunities
to make it to the Sacrament of Confession
and be cleansed of your sins,
and then look for those extra times to pray.
Notice that when you go to Mass
that the priest will be wearing purple,
which is always an indication
that it is a season of preparation.
So, let's use this first Sunday of Advent
as our fresh and new start,
an opportunity to start again
as we wait for the coming of Jesus at Christmas
and go through His public ministry,
and then in Lent to really focus upon His passion,
His death and His resurrection.
We have this cycle, and we're beginning it again,
so it's time to start fresh and new.
Make your resolutions, go to confession
and pray with fervor.

Painting a caterpillar in Tokyo - Art and chronic illness - Multiple sclerosis artist diary - Duration: 3:26.
I saw this caterpillar by the river here in Suginami. It looks really fierce, like
some kind of tool that you would use to tenderize meat. It's the same species as
the butterfly that I was painting in October. Its English, Latin, and Japanese
names will be in the description box because I don't feel like butchering the
names. I think the Japanese name means "dark black leopard print" so it's pretty
cool that both the caterpillar and the butterfly both have that black spotted
pattern. The more I pay attention to nature, the more I feel like I'm living
in some kind of alternate reality. How can insects start out as one thing and
turn into something completely different halfway through their lives? Can you
imagine if humans spent their first 16 years as chimpanzees or elephants and
then we crawled out of our skins to become human? And did you see that hilarious
guy on Twitter who was giving letter grades to all the different kinds of
foxes? I had no idea that most of those existed. And flowers! Flowers are crazy too!
All the different orchids are amazing enough but my sister just sent me photos
from her garden in Australia where she's growing, I think, five or more different
colors of this beautiful funny little thing called a Kangaroo Paw. It looks
like a mix of grass and succulents and flowers and a Venus flytrap, all in one.
And it's fuzzy too, so it looks like something from a Dr. Seuss book. But you
probably want to know a little bit more about this painting. So, I dove in without
a clear idea about the background, but I laid in some under-painting color to get
a feel for the right colors for the caterpillar. When I decided to break for
the day, the under-painting looked interesting, and the caterpillar still
needed another 30 or so legs, so this looked to me like a really cool abstract.
But I haven't been able to bring myself to continue work on this one yet because
I'm worried about it ruining it. I need to bite the bullet though and keep going.
I took a break from painting for the past month or so because my hands have
been giving me some trouble. I changed MS medications, so I've had to
focus more on resting and eating well and maintaining my psychological health
while my body adjusts to the changes. But I think I'm about ready to paint again.
I had a scare for a couple of days where my handwriting was way more shaky and
illegible than usual but I think that's letting up. I hope. And even if it isn't, I
think I have to keep painting and just make adjustments to my style as my
ability changes. I want to keep making art, even if I have to tape the brush to
my wrist or learn to paint with my mouth. Or even if I end up in a wheelchair,
maybe I can get someone to rig me up a system like Stephen Hawking has, but
adapted so that I can use Photoshop with my eye movements. Really, I feel like I
should stop everything and paint and draw until I have a thousand pieces so
if I ever completely lose control of my hands I'll at least have a thousand
things to look back on and be grateful for. But I feel like I'm less than 5% of
the way there. I'm grateful to still be walking. I have some more insects to
paint from the photos that I took during the walks in October. And in November, I
made a few outings to look at all the beautiful changing autumn colors in the
trees. I'm still trying to decide how I would represent fall colors in my
paintings, since my style tends to be so zoomed in. I'll just have to start
sketching and find out. Thanks for watching.
