He is a strong advocate of developing a marketing plan with a mix of mediums.įrom my own experience, the flakiest inquiry calls I have received have been from people who have found my business through the phone book.

The low numbers of new patients generated didn’t warrant the cost of the ad(s). ![]() In an article for the World Chiropractic Organization titled “Quit Wasting Money on Yellow Page Advertising”, 1 Peter Fernandez, D.C., author of “Yellow Page Advertising that Works for Chiropractic” and a business consultant for chiropractic offices, has completely changed his opinion on the medium:īecause of the poor performance of the Yellow Pages over the last 24 months, I have downsized the ads of over 90% of my clients. What does this mean to you as a small business owner? Well, the fact that all of the phone book directories are doing a huge push for their online services tells us that people don’t use phone books anymore to find service providers, they just Google it.Įven industries that historically have been heavy yellow page advertisers are now cutting back on expenditures because they aren’t getting the return they once did. Yellow Book hasn’t caught up to its two big competitors, (#26) and (#31), but it is gaining on them.

![]() The incorrect spark plug gaps can cause uneven firing of individual spark plugs and delay engine combustion both of which can cause an engine to miss or idle erratically. We have done the research and put in the hours to enhance the performance, durability, and ignitability of plugs for domestic and import engines.Įxplore the benefits of our most advanced products like our iridium spark plugs at . Spark plugs that are gapped incorrectly can cause an engine to miss, or run erratically, especially during idle. Iridium Ultra® plugs feature a laser-welded iridium finewire center electrode for optimal fuel efficiency, acceleration, and focused ignitability for long-lasting performance.Īutolite ® has been the trusted developer of spark plugs for over 85 years. This makes it the preferred gapping tool for shop techs to use when setting customers up with the right ignition products for their needs.Īutolite Iridium Ultra ® Spark Plugs are the highest performance offering from Autolite ® and provide the same precision and reliability of an engineered OE replacement plug. Wire loop gauges are not only accurate, but they minimize the chances of incidental damage to the plug when used correctly. Because of this, it became clear over the years that a more precise gapping tool like a wire loop gauge is recommended for this task. Like spark plug metallurgy, gapping gauges have been adapted for more focused performance over time.įeeler gauges or coin-style (ramp-style) gauges aren’t as well-suited for precision plugs like iridium because of the risks of damage to the iridium finewire electrode. To avoid this, the gap should only be checked with the right tool. Iridium spark plugs are designed to deliver more than 100,000 miles of reliable ignition and fuel efficiency, but improper gapping can easily damage the sensitive iridium electrodes. This is especially true for customers who run iridium plugs. Today’s spark plugs are precision-built products, so even the smallest adjustments will change their performance. The spark plug gap adjustment should not be changed more than 3 times and should not exceed. The Right Tool to Gap Iridium Spark Plugs In either case, engine combustibility will be incorrect. If done correctly, a larger gap (and generally, wider spark plugs) will result in a faster engine. If it’s too big, the coil will need too much voltage to fire. If the gap is too small, the flame kernel will not be able to properly expand. When replacing your customers’ spark plugs, you can help them understand that because gap distances are measured down to the tenth of a millimeter, or four one-thousandths of an inch, it’s crucial to be extra careful when checking or setting the gap in each plug. In a sense, spark plugs are an engine’s heartbeat, critical to optimal engine performance-if they’re gapped properly when they’re installed.Īs you’re aware-but your customers might not be-properly gapped plugs allow the engine to literally fire on all cylinders, while the wrong gap will not create the proper ignition and engine performance, regardless of vehicle. ![]() Pic’s appeal lies in other areas, from its mimicking of period, stately Americana in the dialogue (Mal: “No more runnin’ I aim to misbehave” Jayne: “She is starting to damage my calm”) to the plot itself.

Also on board are his deputy, Zoe ( Gina Torres), similarly dressed and holstered like a cowboy Zoe’s husband, Wash (Alan Tudyk), the craft’s ace pilot gruff gunslinger Jayne (Adam Baldwin, in a good impression of Warren Oates) and corn-fed farm girl Kaylee (Jewel Staite), the ship’s mechanic.

Major addition to the cast is Brit thesp Chiwetel Ejiofor (“Amistad,” “Dirty Pretty Things” and upcoming “Kinky Boots”), who darn near steals the movie as the good guys’ ruthless nemesis.įamiliarity with the original episodes isn’t necessary, as a tight opening effectively recaps the backstory. Series went on to immediate cult status on ancillary, and most of the key actors reprise their roles here. The Fox network axed “Firefly” in December 2002 after only 11 of the 14 completed episodes had aired. Though the widescreen movie contains a reasonable amount of action sequences, it was clearly made with considerably less coin than tentpole studio fare, and still shows a TV-style aptitude for soundstage sequences separated by occasional exteriors. 30, a potentially risky gambit for a cult-fueled venture that would benefit from more time to build beyond its card-carrying audience.

Of course, if you printed the JPEG and the RAW saved as a TIFF, you would very likely not notice any quality difference in the two images. If you wonder what is lost, then view the two images on a large, high resolution display - and zoom in and pixel peek. Set your camera to RAW + JPEG and compare the size of the RAW and JPEG image files from the camera. JPEGs are "lossy" - when you save as a JPEG, you throw away tons of information that was in that RAW image. That you are getting no size difference between an uncompressed and LZW TIFF out of Preview means Preview is doing something wrong. As such, I have no idea of it's lossy or lossless. I've never used it (not even an option in Photoshop). LZW can be opened and saved a zillion times, and the last will be the same as the first. Each time you open and save the file, you compound the loss. It's a very slight difference compared to an uncompressed image, but it's still a loss. Even using the highest quality option, information is tossed. If you really want a JPEG, just save it as one to begin with. You are literally saving your image as a JPEG inside a TIFF wrapper. Using JPEG compression is the most pointless option for TIFF images I have ever seen. ![]() It's lossless and saves quite a bit of space. If you want to get the size down, use LZW. The uncompressed TIFF saved from that is about 105 MB. From my Nikon D800, a typical RAW image is about 48 MB. It's normal for camera RAW images to be smaller than a TIFF written from that image. ![]() Reach the pillar containing a portal at the very end of the jumping puzzle.

As I sat behind Andy's desk with my feet up next to the vintage typewriter, I could imagine Otis staggering in the door and over to get the key to "his" cell letting himself in to sleep it off, or Barney barging in with another hardened criminal wanted for Jaywalking. I was the only one in the courthouse, so I had plenty of time to explore all the nooks and crannies, going into the cells, looking in file cabinets, pretending to speak with Sarah the town telephone operator or Juanita down at the Blue Bird Cafe on the candlestick phone. The outside of the Courthouse is rather unassuming but, once inside, the replicas of the set for Andy's office and the cells are uncanny and extraordinarily accurate.

It comes with C-based and Objective-C-based SDKs. The macFUSE software consists of a kernel extension and various user space libraries and tools. Therefore, many existing FUSE file systems become readily usable on macOS. It provides multiple APIs, one of which is a superset of the FUSE API (file system in user space) that originated on Linux. In more technical terms, FUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on macOS. Since FUSE file systems are regular applications (as opposed to kernel extensions), you have just as much flexibility and choice in programming tools, debuggers, and libraries as you have if you were developing standard macOS applications.
