I have been writing music for many years for the bands I have been a part of. It has always been such a joy to be able to work on an idea and bring it to life with my fellow band mates. A big part of what brings me joy is when you take others' ideas and transform the song into a final version, which might be quite different from what I envisioned from the start, almost always for the better. A couple of years ago I started toying with the idea of releasing something on my own, I wanted to see if I would be able to do it all – write the songs, record them, produce them, sing, all of that.
So in 2016 I felt I had a couple of songs that sounded really good and wanted to release them online. Now I suddenly needed a formal band name, and that is pretty difficult to figure out! But playing with words, The Beremy Jets came up as a tribute to the late great actor Jeremy Brett. A little bit corny, but it sounded cool, and I don't want to take myself too seriously anyway. I released the EP Alchemy Attack on Bandcamp, Spotify etc., and everything has continued on from there.
After releasing my second EP Backup Friend in early 2017, Jason Lamoreaux from Somewherecold Records contacted me and we really hit it off. He released the two EP on a limited run cassette (which is seriously cool and I believe there are a few copies left), and then we started talking about releasing an album. I started working on it somewhere around late spring 2017, got up to speed during the autumn of 2017, and then struggling to finish it all the way up until the release of the first video "Waves of Wonder". They always say the last 10% is 90% of a project, and for me that was very true!
The songs do not differ too much from the EPs. My writing process is the same and I feel my ideas have been pretty set for a number of years – not to say I don't evolve or don't want to, but I have a pretty firm grasp of what I want to do at the moment at least. But what was very different here is that I thought about the album as a whole, not just a bunch of songs thrown together. From childhood, I always loved the idea of having a side A and a side B on a record, and that was something I really thought about when putting the record together.
I learned quite a lot from recording the EPs and that has both helped me and in ways hindered me when recording the album – the more you know about something the more you realize how much you DON'T know about said subject. In many ways I felt more out of my depths recording the album, funnily enough. But that is part of the fun, to learn new things. I hope it sounds sonically better than the EPs, I think it does at least.
I don't find it that difficult to achieve. Having played in bands for around 30 years, I have a pretty good understanding of band dynamics and how different instruments can work together. I have always been very involved in arranging songs in the bands I play in and that has really, really helped when doing things on my own.
I love playing in bands and cannot imagine a future when I don't play in a band in some way or form! But as for The Beremy Jets, for now, I see it as a solo project where I can do everything I want my way, for better or worse. That said, I have been toying with the idea of playing live at some point, but there are things I have to figure out before that can happen. What role should I play in a live setting? My main instrument is the drums, and I am not sure I am yet comfortable enough playing something else live, not to mention singing :).
I would say my music is absolutely part of the current shoegaze scene, but my style is probably a bit more old school than many of the newer acts – I loved shoegaze back when it was a big thing and was drawn to the noisier and more rock oriented part of shoegaze, Swervedriver being a favorite band, and somewhat preferring Isn't Anything to Loveless.
Apart from that I am not very interested in genres or categorizing music too much – love a lot of different types of music, from Nick Drake to Ministry, Flying Saucer Attack to Seefeel. If it is good, it's good, that is all I care about.
To be honest I have been a bit inattentive for the last couple of years, but not completely. There is a lot of great music around, and it feels like the shoegaze scene is growing which is fantastic. When it comes to modern artists there are so many good ones. The ones I have been listening to most is probably Flyying Colours, Cheatahs and True Widow (if they can be considered shoegaze). Even though I am a part of the Orange Crate Art live band, I think I can unashamedly say I am a big fan! But there is so much more that is great – I recently participated on the Resistance Compilation on Somewherecold Records (a great record with proceeds going to a great cause, go get it!) and every song on there is just great.
I am pretty typical in loving Jazzmaster guitars, and I own a couple of them. Just an amazing guitar, and it looks gorgeous. Recording at home limits my options since I don't want to be kicked out of my apartment, so I use a Kemper modeling amp when recording. The options there are almost limitless, which is pretty stressful, so I basically limit myself to using a pack of AC30 profiles and a pack of Marshall profiles that I bought.
When it comes to pedals I am starting to have lots of them now but there are a few I use a lot. My favorite fuzz is the Algal Bloom from Fuzzhugger, that one I could not do without. I use a Memory Man with Hazarai from EHX quite a lot, and an Afterneath from Earthquaker devices – I much prefer delay to reverb and at times use a whole lot of it for wall of sound effects. There are many more, but those are probably my favorites.
I usually write the song on guitar and record the different parts quickly. Then I can listen to it, rearrange the parts, add stuff that I feel is missing, etc. When I feel happy with the song structure, I usually start with the drums. Being a drummer, it pains me a bit because I cannot record drums properly in an easy way. So what I do is I either play my drums in my rehearsal space and record it to my phone, or just bang stuff, books etc., at home and record that. Then I trigger that to midi and use BFD3. A huge goal of mine is to be able to record proper drums in the future. I do however think my method works in that it is pretty true to life of what I do play. After that I add guitars, bass etc., and listen a lot to the result.
I always record fast, then listen to the song for a couple of days, for example on my way to and from work, and after a while it starts to become clear what annoys me, what I like and what I feel is missing. Then I correct that and do it again. So it is a pretty iterative process that can take a little while. There is of course also the danger of burning yourself out on the song that way, so I take care not listening to it too much.
Much time is spent on mixing and remixing again and again. This is where I am pretty inexperienced, and it shows. So I take my time and try to get it right. It can be frustrating, but it is also very rewarding to learn from your mistakes. I also check out a lot of tutorials and courses on YouTube etc. There are so many great teachers out there!
I struggle a lot with comparing my songs and recordings to my favorite artists, and they naturally fall short every time. So I need to stop doing that and convince myself I don't need to sound as good as My Bloody Valentine, just do my very best.
As for the technical side of the process, I use three different Jazzmasters, a 12 string Danelectro and a Jazzbase when recording, together with a bunch of pedals. Apart from the pedals mentioned above, I use a Hall of Fame reverb from TC Electronics a lot, a Cry Baby wah-wah, A boss SD-1, A Devi Ever Shoegaze fuzz, Small Stone phaser from EHX to name a few. The Kemper modeling amp is pretty much the heart of the setup since it enables me to get a good guitar sound without waking the neighbors. The alternative to that, which I used on my EPs before I save up enough to buy the Kemper, is some kind of software modelling, Amplitube in my case.
I have a great microphone, the Aston Spirit. I only wish I was a better singer...
My DAW of choice is Reaper, and I really recommend it to everyone who wants to start recording music. It has a bit of a learning curve, but once things click there is very little you cannot do with it. A bonus is, you can try if for free to check it out before you buy it for a very reasonable price.
As for mixing and mastering I use mostly plugins from Slate Digital and Izotope. Really awesome stuff! Everything is recorded to a PC, nothing fancy, via a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 interface. Works very good for me!
As I read the list above, I realize it is quite expensive stuff listed, but it has been accumulated over a lot of years. Someone starting out does not really need all that much. I would say, use Reaper when recording, and everything else will do – cheap guitars, amps etc. What is needed is time to learn to use what you have, not to buy expensive stuff from the get go.
Also, backup your recordings on a regular basis. You won't regret it!
I think everything has its place. I am quite fond of the DIY thing and love that is enables musicians to get stuff out easily. But of course, having the support of a good label can be essential past a certain level of success. And good labels are always nice, where you know a release will always be worth checking out.
I don't have any strong feelings about formats, all of it is good to me as long as it sounds good. What I have strong feelings about is buying music, I do that all the time to support the artists. Mostly I buy CDs since it is practical for me, but of course a nice vinyl is just gorgeous.
There are so many artists that has influenced me through the years, but a few stand outs are the usual suspects like My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, Lush, Boards of Canada and Flying Saucer Attack. Also a lot of music from my childhood in the 80s like Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole, the earlier stuff by U2, Simple Minds, Killing Joke, The Church and so many others. Some new artists that have influenced me quite a bit are The Corrupting Sea who reminded me just how great ambient music can be, and quite a lot of psychedelic and stoner music like Weedpecker. Helms Alee is another huge favorite that influences me a lot. I am also very influenced by cinema, directors like David Lynch, John Carpenter, Dario Argento and Sergio Leone are my favorites. French extreme horror for taking an idea and running with it as far as possible.

Boutique flower farm specializing in sustainably grown, lush and unique varieties of both flowers and foliages. Our target audience is florists and event designers.
id like some sort of unique graphic image in addition to text. it could incorporate a fox, fox with tail, etc. but should also incorporate some element of greenery to suggest that we are floral related. My sister had a nice idea that the fox could be resting with the tail swooping around and morphing into flowers. Im not totally sold on this so by no means do i want everyone to use this idea but it would be nice to explore.

Simply the best answers.Did you know your computer can run A LOT faster?
Why does Autodesk Inventor generate an application error and then close (crash) when the Workbench plugin is enabled to Load on Startup in the Inventor Add-in Manager?
Possible causes are :
1. Ansys Workbench plugin (Add-in) is conflicting with an Add-in that is already loaded.
To test this, in Inventor, go to
Tools > Add-in manager and uncheck: "Loaded / Unloaded" and "Load on startup" on all other add-ins
such that the Workbench 8.1 plugin is the only one enabled. You may have to enable the other add-ins individually to determine if a specific one is causing a conflict.
2. The SAP interface to Inventor has been reported to cause this error. SAP is a business/accounting/manufacturing/inventory software.
In this case, the user uninstalled the SAP to Inventor interface to locate the problem.

Marathon Sunday is the day to avoid Central Park (if you're not a runner). With no particular expectations I went off to Riverside Drive mostly to get the fresh air.
The first stop was at the area where the hawks had built their nest in the spring. A flash of red caught my eye. House finch. How nice. That was different. The autumn colors are gorgeous, but I expected no birds.
Further up the path a squirrel was hugging the side of a tree. I did a double-take. It had something in its mouth. I stared at it. It stared at me. A seed pod! I've seen squirrels eat just about everything, but never these seed pods, the same pods that the cedar waxwings like. Poor undernourished squirrels. All gorging on seedpods. Building up fat for the coming winter.
Now the day was becoming fun. What's next? That's when I spotted a mockingbird and it watched me, a young mocker. It came to the fence and sat and sat and sat. I started talking to it, "I love you", "You're so beautiful", "Pretty bird",..... then I started whistling opera. Mozart. If someone walks along and hears a bird singing "Der Vogelfaenger bin ich ja"...... it's my fault.
By now I was very happy. This was turning into a grand day. I did see the hawks soaring on high. Maybe they'll build a nest near here again. And I saw a gull eating an apple in the river. Gulls will eat anything, but apple bobbing can't be easy for a gull.
The next came as a surprise. I heard . "twee twee", the call of the kinglet. But migration is over. It's November. Obviously nobody told the kinglets, because morning and afternoon I kept seeing them, at least 12, ruby crowned and golden, flitting kinglets gorging on buglets.
I'll post more images in the next couple of days. These are just a few samples of today's joy.

This book is bargain priced from 08/21/2014 until 08/27/2014
Is the life of a stranger worth risking your own life and the lives of your family? As a troubled child raised on the rough side of Baltimore, Joshua Broady thought he'd never need ponder such a question. Yet twice Joshua is forced to determine another's fate.
Joshua Broady enjoys a happy, successful life, loved by his family and celebrated by his peers. But as a young teenager Joshua appeared a certain prison candidate. Fortunately the inspiration found from an unlikely friend altered his path, but not his destiny.
Joshua returns to the place that symbolizes a time in his past that has purposely been forgotten. Here he discovers a man on death row, whom he knows is innocent. Risking his own life, and the safety of his family, Joshua entrusts his account of events to a local detective, and through him discovers a community fraught with prejudice and deceit.
A conspiracy deeper than anyone could have imagined exposes itself. Only the forces urging him to stay silent match local cop, Billy Hamilton's desire to see justice. His choices could very well determine if the truth will ever have a voice, if indeed he survives long enough to allow it.
Joshua soon finds himself unable to delineate his allies from his foes. All the evidence points to Joshua – but after twenty years lies still remain and Joshua still finds himself behind bars.
Not the best of scenarios for a black man in the deep south of white America.

We previously published an article about the Alpensia Resort & 700 Water Park here on Korea Ye, but feel this post offers another view with different details. You can also read more about skiing in Korea here. Enjoy!
We recently took advantage of a three-day weekend and took the family to Alpensia Ski Resort. We had a blast! Alpensia is located in Pyeongchang, where the 2018 Winter Olympics will be held. We have heard through the grapevine that Alpensia will be the Olympic Village.
The Hotel
There are actually three hotels at the resort – Intercontinental, Holiday Inn Suite, and Holiday Inn Resort. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Resort. I am so glad we chose this one! The ski slopes are right behind this hotel. You could sit in the lounge, drink a Bailey's and coffee, and watch the skiers coming down the slopes!
The room itself was pretty standard for what you would see in any Holiday Inn. One great thing I noticed was a panel on the wall by the TV. It had outlets for USB, HDMI, and AV cables allowing you to use your own entertainment on the TV. There are a couple English-speaking channels on the cable.
Each of the hotels has at least one restaurant and lounge inside the hotel, as well as room service. Outside of the hotel is like a little village, with tons of restaurants to choose from. There is even a Dominos! There is also a convenience shop if you forgot your toothbrush or want to get some snacks. According to the hotel guide, there is a karaoke bar as well.
We are beginners in every sense of the word when it comes to skiing. My husband and I both went when we were kids, but hadn't been since. My kids had never been. My middle son told us during the last winter Olympics that he was going to be an Olympian snowboarder one day after watching Shawn White. We decided we better at least get him on a snowboard if that's his plan!
If you are staying at the resort, there is a huge discount on all rentals and ski lift tickets. It was much less expensive than we were expecting! Our first day we didn't get ski lift tickets because we didn't want to get in over our heads. We all had snow pants, coats and gloves, so we didn't need any of that. However, you could come with nothing and either rent or buy it all there. The rental times are divided into AM, PM and Night, with each session lasting four hours.
The ticket desk has an English speaking counter, so that will help you out when you are buying your tickets. When you buy your tickets, you will be paying for any clothing and equipment rental, as well as ski lift tickets. Once you buy your tickets, go inside the building. There is a desk to pick up any clothing, and there is a desk to rent ski equipment. Snowboarding equipment is right next to the ski rental. You will tell the attendant what size you need and they will adjust the bindings on the skis. Ski poles are on the side. There are lockers to store anything you don't need. If you don't have any change for the locker, there is a change machine near one of the shops.
A note for my ladies with larger calves: I was unable to find ski boots that fit my calves. I don't know who was more embarrassed, me or the attendant trying to fit me. We tried on 5 different pairs of boots, even men's sizes. Once the upper part of the boot fit my calf, the lower part was too big for my foot. The ski boots are the back closing kind, and I've been told that makes a difference. I'm not an overly large woman, but I've always had "strong" calves. I have a friend that said she went to a shop in town and they were able to help her. So that is an option if you have the same problem. I ended up getting a refund, and it was a good thing I did.
My 3-year-old was excited until we actually went outside, and then he lost it. So he and I skipped the slopes and did our own thing. My husband and two older boys, however, had a blast! My middle son snowboarded, and he actually has a talent for it! He was flying down the bunny hill by the end of his 4 hours! The next two days they got ski lift tickets and actually skied down the big hill. They have not stopped talking about it and can't wait to do it again!
Ocean 700
Right next to the resort is the Ocean 700 indoor water park. My 3-year-old and I went all three days. We loved it!
If you are staying at the resort, you also get a 35% discount for the water park. Once you buy your ticket, go through the turnstile and immediately take off your shoes. To your right you will see rows of lockers. Each person in your party will have a locker number on their ticket. Males have lockers in the lower numbers; women lockers are higher numbers. Find your locker, put your shoes in, and remove the key, which has a wristband to wear the rest of the day. This will also be your key to the same locker number in the locker room. Go across the lobby and there are entrances to the men and women's locker rooms. There will be naked people everywhere. Just go ahead and move past it because that is part of living in Korea! Find your locker, dump your stuff, and change into your suit. Follow the signs and you will come to some stairs. If you go up there is a naked spa area. If you go downstairs, you will walk past the showers and then out into the water park.
Once you are in the water park, there are a few things that require a life vest and hat. Once again, that is just part of Korea living. You will see a vest rental desk. You can also rent chairs (called a sunbed), and purchase tickets for Dr. Fish and those giant inflatable hamster tubes. The great thing is you don't need any money with you! Scan your locker key and it will add everything to your bill! If you rent a chair, they will give you a tag to hang from the chair that shows the chair has been rented.
There is a food court with the usual Korean choices, as well as a pizza place that serves Cass beer and Dunkin Donuts upstairs. All of these places can be paid for with your key.
The waterpark itself has a wave pool, a river, several water slides, hot tubs, and kid areas. I call the river the Unlazy River! Imagine combining the wave pool with a lazy river… it was insane! I've never seen anything like it.
One of our favorite pools was the Bathing Pool that had different jet stations. Each station massaged a different part of your body. To turn the jets on, you simply touched the touch pad to the right of the station.
This pool also went outside. I was hesitant at first. Why would I want to go outside while in water in January? But it was actually pretty amazing! There are more jets out there, and the water is the perfect temperature. We were out there on our second night and it started snowing. It was magical!
Once you've had your fill, go back to the locker rooms. You have the option to shower, and there are spinners that spin the water out of your suit. They have small towels the size of a hand towel that you are supposed to dry off with and walk up the stairs naked. I used my pool towel to dry off with and wrap around myself to walk up the stairs. There are hair dryers in the dressing area as well as combs and brushes that they sanitize. Or you can use your own. Once you are dressed, go back out to the lobby to the Cashier window right beside the shoe lockers. They will verify your purchases and you will cash out. After paying, take your key to your shoe locker and leave the key in the locker.
If you are looking for a weekend winter getaway, Alpensia is a great place to do it!

When it comes to dramatic thrillers on TV, maintaining a tight story line that connects throughout the season or seasons is a daunting task. For network series with 24-episode seasons, the task becomes even more difficult.
This season of Pretty Little Liars has shown the strain of trying to stretch an intricate and layered story line over filler episodes. After last week's PLL, we complained that the series was frankly asking too much of its loyal fan base when it came to ignoring oversights. But tonight? Tonight was a good night. Tonight we watched the Liars make mistakes, but they were believable mistakes. Even better? They learned from them.
What might have been most impressive about tonight's episode was that all four Liars showed growth, maturity, and good old fashioned common sense. This was an especially tall order considering the 'Previously On' recap included facts we learned from Hanna's dream last week. Just to be clear, we're accepting dreams as facts now? Whatever.
After years of agreeing to make all decisions like The Babysitter's Club and act as an ill-informed democracy, hot-for-cops Spencer finally attempted to go to the police with evidence against Noel even though Emily and Aria were against the move. Of course, Spencer called elevator-hottie Marco too late and lost the USB, but we applaud her decision to actually, finally, for once go to the police instead of trying to put her years of watching Law and Order to work. You are not Olivia Benson. None of you are.
Then there was Emily, who we admittedly have been a little harsh with in the past. We still believe that if it wasn't for all that beautiful hair it would be much more difficult to ignore her naivety. Anyway, Emily started off the episode with the quote of the night. Upon learning that Noel Kahn lived at his parents' cabin, you know, the one that was in many, many, many episodes in earlier seasons, Spencer and Emily finally connected Noel's cabin to the same area where Hanna was held. "How did we not put this together sooner?" Good question, Emily. Thanks for beating us to it. We also don't know how none of you put this together, but we're here to grow, not blame. Being aware that it was a ridiculously obvious oversight helps calm our annoyance.
Next up is Aria, who put those eyebrows to use and scored Jason some sympathy points with the county clerk. What was even better than Aria's #fleekgoals was remembering that she already chose Ezra over Jason. Rather than do the easy and predictable plot twist of jumping into bed with Jason moments before getting Ezra's text that Nicole wasn't rescued, something we surely would have seen in previous seasons, Aria adulted the hell out of the situation and stood by her man. Still, we'd love more flashbacks of Jason during his Thor-era.
Lastly there was Hanna, who thought she could watch half of The Departed, throw on a baseball hat and know how to conduct herself as a member of the Sopranos.
Her ridiculous plan of drugging Noel (how was she going to carry him from the bar to the motel?) and showing him Sarah's phone (next time put the case on a different phone) ended as badly as it was planned, which is a great step forward for PLL. If that terrible plan had worked, we would have to seriously question how a guy who managed to kidnap five women and hold them hostage for months didn't know that you shouldn't accept drinks from people trying to blackmail you. You're learning, PLL. And we noticed.
Season 7 of Pretty Little Liars airs Tuesdays at 8E/5P on its new home on Bravo!

Kodai – Above the clouds, gateway to heaven
We have two main fascinations when it comes to travelling in India; Himalayas and the Western Ghats. While Himalayas is an infinite package in itself where one lifetime is not enough to cover even a small piece of it, it's smaller brother down south western Ghat ranges offer some similar features such as captivating Ghat roads, beautiful hill stations.
Kodai is one such destination which will satiate our thirst for hill stations. In fact, it is worth noting that Kodaikanal is at an altitude of close to 7000 ft, few hundred meters higher than Manali (we always compare with Manali just to get a gauge of where these hill stations stand). Kodai is probably the most beautiful hill station in South India; Probably that's why this place is often called as the "Queen of Hill stations". This is such a cool place that none of the hotels or resorts here has fans installed in the rooms.
We checked into a place called "Villa Retreat", a small and a quaint resort, but very close to the centre of the town, the Kodai Lake. The views from the resort are breath taking making us relax in the lawn for long time during our stay. The wooden rooms with town view from the balcony were well maintained.
Travelling in South India is incomplete without a mention of the food. The food served in this place is out of the world. The hot, smooth and delicious Idlis, dosas with a combination of assorted South Indian chutneys had us mesmerised throughout our stay. Having this breakfast, with a view of the town from the top was in fact a great start to each of days here.
While kodai has many scenic places to visit, the best thing to do is take a walk in the through the beautiful roads leading to the main town. Evenings are the best time for it as we can feel the chill of the wind and also the town goes to laid back mode once the sun sets in. Of course, some interesting shopping waits us in terms of handmade chocolates, woollen wear, handlooms dresses etc.
The key attraction as you approach kodai is the silver cascade waterfalls, after a long ride from any of the nearby towns. There are few shops which sell fruits and refreshments; this is a pit stop for many of the tourists travelling to Kodai. Of course, beware of the monkeys which try to snatch anything from your hands.
Another favourite and a leisure activity that we got addicted to was the boating. The smooth and steady rocking of the boat with picturesque views of the town provides a therapeutic and a calming effect on our minds.
As you pass through the lake, you can enjoy the view of home stays seen between the tall trees, beautiful swans and other birds playing in the lake. We took multiple boat trips just to enjoy the pleasantness of the ride; it's like a massage to your senses.
After thoroughly enjoying the Lake and the strolls through the local town in the evenings, we ventured out to other places which are famous sightseeing points. The weather and the morning mist makes most of these places appear out of the world. The silent valley view point, as the name suggests is hushed and Divine. It was so peaceful that we were the only people at that place for most of the time. Our driver even got bored (we on the other side were fully excited to check out the place fully) and said he will at least take some pictures for us; he did turn out to be a good photographer.
After travelling further, we reached a point called Caps valley. Interesting story: it seems long time back when a British national visited this place and looked down from this view point, his cap fell down but in few seconds due to the gushing and heavy wind, it came up again; hence the name Caps Valley. We have actually seen few people trying to throw their caps and losing them.
Berijam Lake
Berijam Lake is seen from the top few kilometres away at a view point, which is now famously called as the Berijam lake view point. The Lake is covered and is nicely snuggled inside the forest with trees on all sides of the lake. The entry for Berijam Lake is restricted to few hours a day till 3:30 pm in order to ensure the quality of the lake whose water is supplied to few nearby by villages. We did hear that the Kodai lakes have problem of mercury Pollution (seems like a big story to even talk about it here, do Google it; interesting read)
The Lake totally mesmerized us with beautiful backdrop of the lush green forest and pin drop silence across. After doing our bit of noise pollution by shouting excitedly (yeah we do feel guilty about it), we decided to head back.
The list of things to do never ends in Kodai. The visit to the Pine gardens, another popular spot used in several south Movies, which also served as a stop for some refreshments, specially the raw cut mango topped with salt and pepper.
Our evenings are generally spent in are around the Kodai lake for next couple of days, we did multiple boat rides, rented cycles and rode around the perimeter of the Lake. The lake's perimeter road is very well maintained for walkers and cyclists. Locals come here for morning and evening walks, while the outsiders enjoy this place for the same with an extra option of horse riding or cycling on the rented ones.
With many options ranging from unwind, relax to drive around to treks, Kodai does offer nature lovers a variety of experience to cherish. Be aware that summers are jam packed and may be as we did, try this one during monsoons.

Great place to have your vehicle repaired, They do whatever necessary to satisfy the customer.
Great Shop... Nice to have a neighborhood repair facility where you actually deal directly with the owners.. Highly recommended!!
I was a little skeptic trying another independent mechanic after my last experience. Brookside Auto Rx put my mind at rest. They are able to diagnose my problem and came to a quick resolution. The prices were fair and the quality of work is top notch. I also received a phone call inquiring about the operation of my vehicle. This would have to be the first. I am very impressed with Brookside Auto Rx. I never look forward to my vehicle not performing properly, but the next time something goes wrong...Brookside Auto Rx it is.
Great friendly fast service, at amazing rates. Very accommodating. New to the area but definitely worth stopping in for all your automotive needs. My friend and I were very happy we did.
Great Service! Clean environment They were friendly, fast and accommodating. We came in right before closing and they got us right in. Cost efficient and pet friendly. They stand behind their service. I recommend this place to anyone who needs auto repair. I would definitely come back.

Solihull Moors face Hinckley United at Damson Park this Saturday – their play-off hopes boosted, after Eastwood Town were denied entry to the Blue Square Bet North play-offs.
And they'll be looking for three points after they were lucky to escape with one away at Vauxhall Motors last weekend.
The Moors had entered that game having gone 375 minutes of football without scoring. Despite this, they managed to share the spoils, in a pulsating 3-3 draw, in which both teams scored in the dying minutes.
The Moors started well – pressuring the Motors side into sloppy mistakes – and quickly took the lead, 22-year-old winger, Ryan Beswick, finishing well to put Solihull in the driving seat.
Vauxhall started a strong comeback attempt just before the interval, troubling Solihull shot stopper, Jasbir Singh, several times and eventually earned their reward.
Singh managed to stop Obi Anoruo's deft header, but could not stop Craig Mahon's follow up drive, leaving the sides level at the break.
Solihull started the second-half in a similar fashion to the first, committing men up field in the hope of grabbing another goal, and again Vauxhall had trouble handling Beswick, who found himself unmarked in the Motors area to slam home a sweet volley just past the hour mark, leaving the Vauxhall side with another mountain to climb. It only took the Motors side nine minutes to cut the deficit for a second time, however, a powerful close range header from midfielder, Tom Hannigan, getting the better of Singh.
And the Moors soon found themselves a goal down with just three minutes left, after a defensive mix-up left Vauxhall substitute, Leighton McGivern, through and he finished with a well-placed shot, leaving Solihull with little hope of a result.
However, Matt Smith decided to play the hero for Solihull, catching the Motors defense unaware, and rising up to head home in the final minute to steal a point for the Damson Park side, keeping their play-off hopes alive, with just three league games remaining.
Moors Chairman, Nigel Collins, said: "The match was one we felt we should have won – we were the better side and were 2-1 up, but then we were losing 3-2 with only a couple of minutes left, and then we got the late goal so we were thankful for the point. After hearing Eastwood Town won't be in the playoffs, we know anything can happen.
"And it would be great if everyone came to our final home game against Gainsborough on April 30."

Colorectal cancer can begin unnoticed. By the time you develop symptoms, it may have grown and spread, making it harder to treat.
While colorectal cancer was once most often diagnosed among those ages 50 and older, now younger people also need to be on the alert.
The American Cancer Society reports that the number of younger adults diagnosed with colon cancer in their 20s and 30s is increasing. On the other hand, the diagnostic rates for those in their 50s or older is experiencing a slight decline.
According to Dr. Damaris Gautier, a medical director for Blue Cross and Blue Shield, doctors don't yet see a clear reason for the increasing colon cancer rates in younger people. "If we had to make a guess, the increase could be attributed to genetic factors, but there are also environmental factors, such as being exposed to harmful substances or triggers that cause the body to change," Dr. Gautier said.
"We also know that obesity as well as diets that are low in fiber and water intake can factor into an increased likelihood for developing colon cancer," she said.
When cancer is caught early, there are often treatment options. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force says most adults at average risk for the disease should start screening at age 50. But it is important to take action earlier if you are at high risk for colon cancer. You may need to begin testing at a younger age.
Who's at High Risk?
Talk to your doctor if you have these high-risk factors:
- A personal history of colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps
- A family history of the disease
- Chronic inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, a condition that causes the colon to be chronically inflamed
- Certain inherited conditions, including familial adenomatous polyposis and Lynch syndrome
- Some African Americans should start screening at age 45
What Are the Screening Options?
While screening can help spot this cancer early, many people still avoid this potentially lifesaving tool.
Colonoscopy is the most common screening tool. A doctor uses a colonoscope — a flexible, lighted tube with an attached camera — to look at the entire rectum and colon for signs of cancer. The doctor can even remove precancerous growths called polyps during the procedure.
Unfortunately, some people may avoid a colonoscopy because they are nervous about it. In fact, they may pass up colorectal cancer screening altogether.
Dr. Gautier says there's no reason to be afraid of the procedure. "The worst thing is the prep before even going in for the test," she said.
The test itself is so painless that some patients don't even realize when it's over and done. "Many patients…wake up and ask, 'When are you are taking me for the test?' The hardest part of a colonoscopy is not the test, there is nothing to be concerned or scared about."
Other screening options are available, based on your doctor's recommendation. However, a colonoscopy is more comprehensive since it offers the opportunity to immediately remove a polyp if necessary.
Other screening options may include:
- A fecal occult blood test: A lab scans a stool sample for blood, a possible sign of cancer.
- Sigmoidoscopy: This procedure is similar to a colonoscopy, but it looks only at the rectum and the lower colon.
- Barium enema: A series of X-rays highlight any problems in the colon and rectum.
- Virtual colonoscopy: A CT scan supplies detailed images of the colon.
What Are the Symptoms?
Early colon cancer may not have any symptoms, which is why screening is so important. Warning signs include:
- Anemia, which causes symptoms such as weakness, excessive fatigue and sometimes shortness of breath.
- Bleeding from the rectum.
- Blood in the stool or in the toilet after having a bowel movement.
- Dark or black stools.
- A change in bowel habits or the shape of the stool not caused by a change in diet.
- An urge to have a bowel movement when the bowel is empty.
Can You Prevent Colorectal Cancer?
These healthy lifestyle tips may help to protect you from colon cancer:
- Eat a diet that's high in fruits, vegetables and fiber.
- Avoid eating red, grilled meats and processed meats.
- Avoid smoking, heavy use of alcohol and sedentary lifestyles.
- Exercise.
- Keep weight in check.
Play it smart.
Colorectal cancer can cross all age boundaries. If you notice anything that could be a symptom, including any of those listed above, play it smart and talk to your health care provider. Like most illnesses, an early diagnosis gives you the best chance to make a successful recovery.

The world is growing and changing rapidly; but the gospel of Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. There are millions of men, women and children around the world who do not know Jesus because they live in areas where there is little opportunity to hear about Him.
At Southside, Global Mission is one of our cherished values.
Because we believe that Jesus can transform lives across borders and cultures, we partner with brothers and sisters who have "beautiful feet", and who proclaim the love of Jesus in places we cannot be. We are a church that partners with others in prayer, with our finances, with our support. We support 3 Mission Partners in secure locations (Central Asia, the Middle East, the Philippines). We pray regularly for them on a Sunday and across our Fellowship Groups and encourage others to get to know them.
We also have International Partners in various parts of God's world. International Partners are Southsiders who are working overseas for a period of time and serving in local churches. God-willing they intend to return to Canberra and continue their ministry involvement with us. We regularly pray for our International Partners in church, at Bible Kids and in Solid Rock.
Prayer at Church, Fellowship Groups and at our Prayer Breakfasts. OMF Prayer meetings monthly. CMS prayer meetings across Canberra.
We encourage Southsiders to support our Mission Partners by giving to their mission agencies CMS and Interserve
We also support Compassion and partner with them in sponsoring children in the Philippines.
Our Global Mission teams are the first point of call in supporting our Mission Partners. Speak to them if you wish to show the care and love of Christ to them.
We encourage Southsiders to read these 2 excellent publications: Let the Nations Be Glad (John Piper); Becoming Global (Bruce Dipple). We also support CMS Summer School in Katoomba (in January).
Consider going on a short-term or long-term mission assignment through a missionary agency. Speak to Dom for more details.

What could follow Nutella banana crepes? A "war on Texas BBQ."
The Legislative Budget Board is correct about the limits of the line-item veto—but Governor Abbott has plenty of power.
The latest "news" about the Texas attorney general.
He tipped his hand by backing the governor over the Lege.
On Monday, per WFAA, the state's top law enforcement official will be charged with multiple felonies.
A look back at two other attorney-generals who ran into trouble.
Occam's razor, y'all.
America's flaws are inevitable, but so are our virtues.
Even if they weren't distorted by politics, they're too reductive to be reliable.
Evan Smith raises a few points of order.

French economist Thomas Piketty's 2014 best seller, Capital in the 21st-Century, is a historical study of wealth inequality since the industrial revolution. He demonstrates that an increase in income inequality was inherent to capitalism. The formula was simple, if the rate of growth on income derived from invested assets (stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.) is higher than the gross domestic product (GDP — the rate of growth of the economy), then national wealth will be gradually concentrated in the hands of existing holders of investment assets.
The author's painstaking statistical analysis was the first of its kind and his work is admired by a broad range of economists. He notes that there are troubling social consequences when inequality reaches a certain level, as it did just before WWI and WWII. He also discovered that the inequality is never corrected by economic growth.
He warns that while inequality had been gradually decreasing and was stable in the period after WWII, in many countries it has steadily increased since about 1980, growing the fastest in the U.S. where it is at the highest level since just before the war.
But Piketty's study only goes back 200 years. Inspired by his work, Stanford researcher Walter Scheidel examined the same question in light of all human history in The Great Leveler: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century. His conclusions were the same:
"…[T]he big equalizing moments in history may not have always had the same cause, but they shared one common root: massive and violent disruptions of the established order."
He found that these generally take the form of warfare, revolution, or the collapse of the state.
Citing the rising "Gini coefficient" in western countries, (a commonly-used statistical measure of income distribution, see the chart above), British market analyst Albert Edwards puts the blame on the central banks like the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. Since the financial crisis of 2008 they have pumped trillions in newly printed money into their respective economies, consequently inflating the values of investment assets and exacerbating wealth inequality. He notes that this has already had political repercussions:
"There is a lot of anger out on the streets, as demonstrated most visibly in recent elections. Even in France where investors feel comforted that a 'moderate' has gained (absolute?) power [Macron], it is salutary to remember that the two establishment parties have just been decimated by a man who had never before stood for public office! This is perhaps even more radical than Trump's anti-establishment victory under the Republican umbrella. The global political situation is incredibly fluid and unpredictable. While a furious electorate has turned its pent up anger on the establishment political parties, the target for their rage is misguided. I am not completely alone in thinking it is the unelected and virtually unaccountable central bankers who are primarily responsible for the poverty of working people and who will be ultimately held to account in the next crisis." [link]
A recent study by the Boston Consulting Group found that the process of wealth inequality is rapidly accelerating in the U.S., suggesting that it's gone into "overdrive". The country is home to seven million millionaires and that figure is expected to rise to over ten million by 2021.
The era of the Grey Wolf, the only era left before the arrival of the Antichrist, is described by St. Hildegard as a time of extreme civil violence resulting from economic disparity. She portrays it as a period of class warfare and revolution (in another chapter she adds that it will include persecution of Christians):
"And the last is like a grey wolf; for those times will have people who plunder each other, robbing the powerful and the fortunate. …And they will divide and conquer the rulers of those realms"*

More freebie friendly greyscale stuff
These are some more greyscale elements for those who are wanting things they can recolour to match some other kit, or who design and share freebie kits. The terms of use are quite clear that these can only be used in kits that are shared with anyone. The file size got a bit big so I divided into two parts. The first part is here and the second part is here. I know the new format at 4shared is a pain and you can't write a comment whilst waiting for the download once you have hit the button. But I really miss the comments, it is what motivates people to share, truly. I would love to see a hello from the other Aussies that are visiting the blog especially, some are visiting from my home town and nearby.
Hope you are having a great day,

i love that 4 shared seems faster, but the comments part is such a pain now. i know i've been guilty on other sites of neglecting to say thanks. i guess we'll all just have to retrain ourselves, sigh.
so where do you find textures and patterns? i'm thinking about doing a little dabbling in designing, but i don't have any spare pennies to buy stuff.
thanks for the greyscale goodies! as soon as i can get my pse running with vista, i'm going to start playing.

Bequeathed is founded upon the principle of enabling users to write their own will to the extent they are able or willing to do so. Our system highlights where expert legal advice will either be necessary or beneficial. It is always up to the user to decide whether or not to seek that advice.
The same principle applies to our recommendation of professional executors.
Our system highlights to a user what is involved in administering a will and why they may consider appointing one of our panel firms as executor. It is up to the user to decide whether to appoint a Professional Executor or ask a friend or family member to take on the role.
Here is how it works:
We also make it clear in the online interview that all Professional Executors, including law firms, charge for their services at the time their service is provided. The estate may be charged on any of the following bases:
Bequeathed does not determine the charges made by our panel law firms for executor services. These will depend upon the work involved at the time the will comes to be administered and are a matter between the estate and the law firm.
Where one of our panel firms has been selected by the user, and its proposed fees are not acceptable to the beneficiaries when the user has died, or for whatever other reason, the beneficiaries may ask the firm to renounce the executorship. Under most circumstances, a law firm will do so.
