Can you make me a tie with my favorite sports team, superhero, or other pop culture icon?
There are far too many teams out there to stock them all (and most of the fabric available to us is not licensed for commercial use anyway) but if you supply the fabric, we can turn it into a tie for the regular price of our basic cotton ties. Contact us to get the ball rolling.
Good places to search for fabric are at your local fabric shop (of course) or online at places like JoAnn.com, Etsy, or Ebay. You're most likely to find sports team/pop culture fabric in cotton, which works fine for bow ties. You'll want to purchase a minimum of half a yard of fabric – this gives us some wiggle room for lining up the print with the bow tie pattern. When looking at fabrics, keep in mind that the actual visible area of the print on the finished, tied bow tie will be fairly small. With larger patterns it may not be possible to fit an entire logo on the tie.

Friday Mortgage Round Up: August 17th, 2012
The CMHC had added their predictions to the cooling housing market pile – and they're fortunately less extreme than past calls of a 10 per cent drop. While they're forecasting a slowdown in pricing, new construction and existing home sale figures, Canada's housing market is still sitting pretty compared to the U.S., where 4 million homeowners are now underwater on their mortgages.

What Is Libor – and How Can It Affect Me?
Recent finance headlines are full of news on the Barclays Libor scandal. For those not familiar with the global interbank lending interest rate, the news puts into question the validity of trillions of dollars in loans granted between 2006 and 2008. Will Canadian finances be affected? If their bank used this benchmark rate to trade with international financial institutions during this time period, they very well could be. Continue reading »

Had a great day trip kayaking in doubtful sounds with go orange. Both our guides were a wealth of information (really improved our weather system knowledge) which made the trip more interesting. Unforgettable experience kayaking for 3 hours in a serene peaceful setting getting close to some waterfalls and the incredible scenery. We felt very safe with our guide - especially as the weather changes dramatically in the short time we were there. Our only regret was that we were not there kayaking longer ! (We also experienced snow in spring!)
We went Kayaking with Go Orange in March of 2018 on our trip to NZ. It was a wonderful experience beginning early in the morning and we were looked after competently and superbly by Orange (who also were able to return wet gear that I left behind when packing up). We had a blissful time kayaking in the Sound which is a tranquil and beautiful place. Robbie was a mine of information and a super guide. Highly recommended. Helen and Jane (Ireland)
Years ago I did a boat cruise through Milford Sounds which was fantastic, but lots of people kept telling me that Doubtful Sounds was so much better and a lot quieter. On my second trip back to New Zealand I decided to kayak Doubtful to make it a little more exciting. The i-site recommend Go Orange as a great company to go with.
After a lot of debating I decided to just go for the one day option rather than the overnight stay, purely because I was only in New Zealand for two weeks so was very limited on my time.
The instructors picked me up from my hostel promptly. Whilst it takes a long time to get to the sounds (car, ferry, bus) it flies by because the instructors are really friendly and easy to talk to and we had a guide on the bus describing features as we drove along.
In the kayaks I shared a boat with the instructor and there were two couples in two other kayaks, which was a really nice group size. We didn't see any other people so it was so lovely and peaceful. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and pointed out lots of exciting things like a penguin!
I had such a brilliant time and would highly recommend them.
We had a wonderful time on this expedition with a knowledgeable, fun, and experienced guide. I was especially grateful for the team's outstanding customer service in locating and shipping back my lost jacket from NZ to the US. All above and beyond expectation. We would definitely use Go Orange again. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

The Mobile Sensor Pen operates at a frequency range of 800Mhz-1800z and will start flashing if you have an incoming call on your cell phone. According to the web site, you can avoid becoming a "social pariah" by setting your phone to 'silent ring' in public areas and use this pen to alert you of incoming calls. Effective distance is 2 meters, and the included AG3 mercury batteries give this pen a run time of about 300 hours. The Mobile Sensor Pen will also alert when wireless cameras are nearby, which is a nice bonus. Sadly, no information is available about if it actually writes as a pen, but we assume it does, right?

Posted by GameDemon in Karneval, Spring Anime 2013 | 0 Comments
Is this clandestine advertising I sense? I actually got in the mood to go to a circus or something. How sad… To think that a show, which turned out to be quite amusing, would make me want to waste money to see a bunch of weird stunts.
The one thing that I would've changed right away would be Nai's hair. I don't like those purple-highlighted hair-horns sticking out at the lower part of his head. The rest looked pretty good, especially the backgrounds. I was really enjoying that train scene.
I'm liking the story so far. It's a nice change of pace. No sci-fi death lasers, giant fighting mechs or demons popping up all over the place. It's a nice, classic scenery with a lot of unique and gifted characters. That's definitely a nice change of pace.
I recommend this for sure. It looks like it'll get a lot better, plus it's a type of show that could run for quite a number of episodes. I'm kind of glad that I'm not that big a manga fan, because it would've killed if I had read this manga (with this being a mystery-genre anime and all).
Plot Summary: Nai searches for someone important to him, with only an abandoned bracelet as a clue. Gareki steals and pick-pockets to get by from day to day. The two meet in a strange mansion where they are set-up, and soon become wanted criminals by military security operatives. When Nai and Gareki find themselves desperate in a hopeless predicament, they encounter none other than the country's most powerful defense organization—"Circus"!!

How to tell the difference in kiwi plants

How do you tell which plant is male and which is female?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
Answered on May 13, 2011
You can only tell them apart once they flower. The female flower will have a small ball inside the flower (which is the immature kiwi) while the male flower will not.

Sometimes we just want something that tastes great and takes almost no effort – actually that sounds pretty ideal for all the time. This recipe is exactly that. Quick, easy and tasty. Plus I have 2 versions to share with you.
Quiche is one of those things that is great for using up some of those left overs in the fridge before it's too late. You can throw almost anything in there and the result is pretty tasty. I did say 'almost anything'.
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk
- brown bread
- grated cheese
- Salt, pepper, seasoning
- Mixed fillers
1. Pre-heat oven to approximately 180 degrees Celsius. Spray a muffin tray with cooking spray.
2. Whisk eggs, milk and seasoning in a bowl.
3. Optional – if you want quiche with a crust, remove crust from brown bread and make a bowl/cup inside each muffin tray using the bread. For crustless – skip the bread and jump straight to the next step.
4. Pour egg mixture into cups leaving some room for filling.
5. Drop your fillings on top, such as bacon, capsicum, tomato, salami, veggies, sausage.. whatever takes your fancy.
6. Add some grated cheese on top and place in oven.
7. Cook until browned, remove from oven and enjoy.
And as you can see, the little person loves them. I make her bite size crustless ones and she can't get enough! Healthy and easy meals or treats. And perfect lunchbox fillers too.

Micro-Makeover: A Tiny Trailer Decked Out For The Holidays
A few months ago, designer Jackie Glass transformed a 450-square-foot trailer into a stylish micro-home to live in during her home renovations. Now, she's dressed it up for the holiday season with beautiful, festive decorations.
Jackie brought in pretty copper tones and touches of white and purple to create a welcoming environment. Natural materials like boughs, cedar and pine offer a true Christmas feel. And of course, no festive decorating scheme is complete without lights. Here, Jackie added candles and placed LED string lights around the greenery and inside glass bowls.

More than 75 percent of Brazilians over the age of 10 now have mobile phones, which means someone's always watching.
A 30-year-old street vendor was shot in the head by a police officer in São Paulo last month, in a raid targeting sales of pirated DVDs. Carlos Braga was killed after he tried to yank a canister of pepper spray out of a cop's hands as the officer brought down another vendor.
Cell-phone camera footage from several spectators challenged the military police force's original story: that there had been a face-off between the vendors and the police and that the cornered officer had also been wounded by a bullet. After the videos came to light, the police rapidly changed their version of events and detained the officer in question.
Death at police hands is a frequent occurrence in São Paulo and other parts of Brazil. Between 2005 and 2009, an average of one person per day was killed by police forces in São Paulo State—a total of 2,045. Across the entire country, 1,890 people were killed in police operations during 2012, averaging 5 people per day. According to Human Rights Watch, while these deaths are generally reported as the result of shoot-outs with criminals, oftentimes evidence shows that the official version is very misleading.
Marcos Fuchs, an associate director at the Conectas Human Rights organization in São Paulo, estimates about 700 police-related deaths so far this year in the city of São Paulo alone. Despite reforms, the police in Brazil are part of the military, and have a war-like outlook to fighting crime, he says. The mentality might best be summed up by a Brazilian saying: "A good bandit is a dead bandit."
Cell-phone filming became common during the protests that swept through Brazil in June of last year, as activists documented their interactions with the police. In a country where over 75 percent of people over the age of 10 have cell-phones, pressing the record button is becoming an increasingly common response to seeing cops. And it's pulling the curtain back on common cover-up tactics.
Thanks to citizen-shot footage, Brazilians saw that Paulo Batista do Nascimento —supposedly killed in a shoot-out from a stolen car—was actually escorted out of his house, screaming for mercy, by five São Paulo policemen. Cell phone video is also how the public found out that Rio de Janeiro police officers stuffed the body of Cláudia Silva Ferreira, shot in a police encounter, into the trunk of their car—supposedly to take her to the hospital—which then sprung open en route and dragged the corpse for several blocks.
In each of these cases, as with last month's killing, cell-phone footage served to refute the official police versions of how these deaths occurred. The resulting media and public attention has led to investigations in cases that would otherwise be lost in statistics.
None of these investigations have yet led to major policy changes, or even convictions of police officers in many cases. Still, video footage is having a dampening effect on excessive force, says Fuchs. That's why Conectas recently put together a handy guide for protesters filming police violence at protests. "In the past when we didn't have so many cell phones recording I think they were more aggressive," he says.
Alexandre Ciconello of Amnesty International in Brazil cautions that there are still many important barriers to overcome. Generally speaking, it's still difficult for residents to document police violence. "It's a very powerful tool, but especially in poor communities, people are afraid. If police see you're trying to record, they can abuse you and even kill you. Sometimes they take the device and destroy [it]."
The Igarapé Institute in Rio de Janeiro is currently developing software for police body cameras in Brazil, which would film their interactions with citizens. U.S. cities that have implemented similar cop-cam technologies have seen positive results. The California town of Rialto, for example, saw an 88 percent reduction in complaints filed against officers and a 60 percent drop in use of force by police.

Until recently, most people with a home gym owned either a treadmill or an exercise bike and used these to get their daily workout. However, in recent years the elliptical has seen a huge boom in the home fitness market due to the unique and enjoyable way it gets you fit. The elliptical has huge benefits over other machines, which makes it a newly popular choice for home gyms.

The best elliptical machines are so enjoyable to use, you might forget that you're exercising altogether because you'll be having so much fun.

We've compiled this handy guide to show you some of the best elliptical machines for home use, and what to look for when choosing a machine to suit your needs. As we all have different body types and fitness goals we want to achieve, it's hard to say what is the best elliptical machine to suit everyone.
This guide has separated the machines into cheap elliptical trainers and those a little more costly, but each product has guaranteed quality and effectiveness behind it. Rather than reading through the thousands of elliptical reviews online, we've compiled the best of the best for you to take a closer look at.

*Notice: On mobile devices, scroll right to see entire table
So, what do we look for when deciding on the best elliptical machines? If you've ever tried to shop for a product in the health and fitness market before you will already know how confusing the lingo can be, so here are just a few common areas that might be discussed when you're looking to buy an elliptical trainer.
The obvious features to look out for in an elliptical include a strong warranty period, heavy duty frame and base, and a trusted brand name behind the product. The smoothness and stability of each stride are important too, to ensure you safely keep your balance as you work out. After looking at just a few elliptical bikes reviews, you'll quickly learn which are the better designs and those that fall short.
It may come as a shock to some that you're able to purchase a quality elliptical machine for under $150, but due to the explosion in the home gym market most of these machines are now more affordable than ever. They might not have the bells and whistles that the expensive types do, but will give you an effective workout.
There are a few different styles represented here, so depending on where and when you intend of using your elliptical, it's likely that one will stand out from the rest. Although these are cheap, they're still high quality and excellent value for money, so don't be put off by the low price tag. Here are our top picks for the budget elliptical trainers.
For an elliptical with a difference, the Stamina In-Motion Elliptical Trainer provides a compact and effective workout that you can enjoy anywhere. This unique trainer provides all of the health benefits of a regular elliptical but in a small foot pedal only design. Without the handles, you're able to get an effective workout either by standing or sitting.
This type of elliptical is ideal for people without much space or those who want to get a workout under the office desk and keep their blood pumping throughout the day. Because it's such a low impact workout, it's great for people with injuries or those who might not be as fit as they hoped to be.
Due to the fact there's no handle to hold onto, you'll need to be strong enough as it is to use this standing up. Your core muscles should be quite strong to maneuver it, so it's best to start in a seated position. Although this can limit your activity somewhat, you'll still be able to work up enough of a sweat lose weight even as you sit down.
The Stamina Inmotion Elliptical doesn't have as much of a stride as you'd find with a standard elliptical, but with a bit of practice, you'll find that you can work your muscles just as effectively when squatting down a little further.
This device is lightweight and easy to move around, so it suits people on the go or those who want to workout in different areas of their house. It's extremely quiet to operate so it won't disturb anyone else, and will get you an effective workout if you apply yourself correctly. Overall, the Stamina In-Motion Elliptical is a convenient option for working out on the run.
If you're looking for a compact elliptical that won't compromise on durability and stability, the Body Rider Fan Elliptical Trainer is the one for you. Extremely affordable and packed full of just the right features, this electricity free trainer is for people who don't need a lot of bells and whistles to enjoy their workout.
The best benefit of this device is just how compact it is without giving anything away on quality. If you have a small apartment or not much space to work out, it's the perfect size you give you an all over body workout. However, don't expect as big of a stride as you'd get with the larger machines due to its compact size.
The setup can be quite lengthy with this and a lack of direct instructions with the product made the job harder, but once done properly you'll be left with a quality machine that won't let you down. Body Rider has even included a free workout video so you'll know exactly how to get the best results from this compact sized elliptical.
If you're looking for an affordable and compact way to get fit and healthy, this is the choice for you. Provided you're happy to sacrifice a bit of length on your stride, you won't be disappointed with everything this machine can give you. The Body Rider Elliptical offers a smooth and quiet elliptical experience without breaking the bank.
Sunny Health and Fitness are one of the most trusted names in the health and fitness industry, with a range of affordable products available to suit any home gym. The Sunny Health and Fitness Elliptical Trainer is one of the most affordable ellipticals that offers a whole range of fancy features, so it's certainly worth the consideration.
One issue with this elliptical is that it doesn't fold up, so if you don't have space in your house to keep it assembled you might need to choose something more compact. However, the setup overall is quite simple ever for those who aren't mechanically minded, so it's a lot easier than many of the comparable trainers in the same price range.
A huge benefit with the Sunny Health and Fitness Elliptical Trainer is the ergonomic design, so it's perfect for elderly users or those who might not be as strong. The anti-slip pedals and moving arms make it easy to stay upright on the device so you won't feel shaky as you build up a sweat. However, don't expect the overall experience to be as smooth as a gym quality machine as it's hard to achieve for this price range.
The Sunny Health and Fitness only has a 220lbs weight capacity which is quite small for a home gym machine, so ensure that you're within this weight range to enjoy the machine. As the strides on these compact machines are quite small, it likely wouldn't suit a very tall user either. Overall, though, it's exceptional value for money and a great way to step into the home gym equipment market.
For those who are happy to spend a little extra, you'll probably find that an expensive elliptical is more commonplace than the budget-friendly ones. However, these two still fall well below the $1,000 mark which makes them extremely affordable even for an elliptical trainer.
If you're looking to invest in just one machine for your home gym, this is a great choice when you consider the variety it can offer. Spending over $150 on a trainer that will last for many years should be a simple decision to make, especially when you consider what you save on your wasted annual gym memberships.
Exerpeutic is a trusted name in home gym equipment, and you may have even seen some of their machines at your local health club. However, this brand doesn't cost a fortune to own and at just under $200 you'll be amazed at all that you get for this price. An Exerpeutic Elliptical is one of the best investments you can make for your home gym, guaranteed to give results.
The best part about this trainer is how smoothly it operates, so if you're looking for something that won't feel rigid or clunky it's best to spend a little extra so you can guarantee it. The handles move effortlessly with your feet and give you a challenging workout when you feel the need to kick it up a notch.
The heart rate monitor is fantastic, and an added bonus for a gym machine as not many of the affordable options have them that much these days. This can give you a more accurate reading on how many calories were burned as well, so it's great for people looking to lose weight.
One major disappointment with this elliptical was the assembly, taking many people multiple hours just to complete. Even if you are mechanically savvy, you can expect at least an hour and a handful of your own tools to get it right. Once it's set up, you won't want to disassemble it so be sure you have it in the right place for you.
This negative aside, the Exerpeutic Elliptical is an exceptional choice for a piece of home gym equipment. For its compact size, this trainer can give you a thorough workout and you won't feel unsteady on its frame. Overall, the Exerpeutic Elliptical is outstanding value for money and won't break the bank either.
In true fashion of this company, the Schwinn 430 Elliptical is packed full of features that make working out just that much more rewarding and engaging for the user. As is the way with all of their other pieces of gym equipment, Schwinn has built a trainer that can not only be a workout machine but also your personal trainer.
The Schwinn 430 Elliptical Machine is one of the most popular on the market, and it's easy to see why. This elliptical trainer gives a very smooth and stable ride, so you won't feel like things are wobbling if you want to step up the intensity. The same might not be said for the more affordable products, though.
A possible negative to the Schwinn Elliptical comes with its handles, as quite a few reviewers have commented on close they were together. However, this design is commonly found with professional ellipticals so if it's not suited to your comfort or style of exercise you're best to look for another design. If you don't enjoy how you use the machine, you're less likely to continue using it.
Overall, this is a superior elliptical trainer and one that will push you to achieve your goals. There aren't many trainers out there that can give you the range of programs and resistance that this Schwinn has, and all for a piece of home gym equipment. It costs nearly triple some of the more budget-friendly options, but you have to decide whether you want to invest for the extra features.
As we see the home fitness equipment industry continue to grow, we can expect that elliptical will remain as one of the top selling gym machines. They're easy to use, enjoyable to operate, and won't make any loud or unusual noises. Best of all, they target more areas of your body that traditional gym machines while giving you a quality strength workout too.
When considering the best elliptical machine 2017, there aren't necessarily going to be the most expensive. As many people try to get fit on a budget, these listed represent a reasonable price range for people looking to purchase their first elliptical exercise equipment. Once you know the type of workout you enjoy, you could add some weights or other cardio machines to complete your personal setup.
After researching all of the options and weighing up which machine might suit a wider range of users, the clear winner was the Exerpeutic 1000XL Heavy Duty Magnetic Elliptical. Priced mid level when compared to the others, it was packed with just the right amount of features along with a quality build and stable ride. This ticked all of the boxes that one might look for in the best home elliptical 2017.
With such a varied price range in the home exercise equipment market, it's really up to you and what you're willing to spend that will determine what you get from your trainer. There are some amazing budget friendly machines that will get the job done, but you should account for the fact that they've been made with compactness in mind.
Investing a little more in your elliptical exercise bicycle will usually get you a more superior trainer, but it's not a guarantee. The best features to look for are stability and durability, as well as an easy to use design, and the rest just comes down to personal preference. Whichever you choose, you'll be amazed at how enjoyable exercise can with when you're working out on an elliptical machine.

How Being Overweight Can Affect Your Life Adversely
Being overweight can have several negative impacts on you, your body and the people around you. Some of these effects may be obvious, but some of it are subtle and almost invisible. In any case, they all can have an adverse effect on your life.
In this article, we'll enlighten you on some of the effects of being on the heavier side.
Physical Effects
One of the most obvious set of effects from being overweight are physical. These include:
- High Blood Pressure – Being overweight means you have excess fat. This increases vascular resistance and your heart will have to work much harder than it should to circulate blood around your body. This leads to high blood pressure. This can also lead to kidney disease.
- Fatty Liver Disease– This is a condition where excess fat accumulates around your liver. This is more common in obese persons and can lead to cirrhosis or liver failure
- Complications During Pregnancy– Women who are overweight are more likely to develop diseases such as gestational diabetes or preeclampsia. They may also be unable to deliver vaginally and require a C-section
- Musculoskeletal Disorders– Having excess fat means that additional force is exerted on your joints and muscles. This leads to pain and even permanent damage.
- Cardiovascular Disease– There are several complications related to the heart that can arise due to obesity including heart attack, blood clots (which can lead to stroke), angina, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis (artery hardening)
- Type 2 Diabetes– High blood sugar caused by lifestyle choices of obese persons can lead to many other medical conditions such as stroke, kidney failure and nerve damage
Financial effects
Being overweight can also have some financial effects. These include:
- Loss of Livelihood– Labour intensive jobs cannot be done effectively by persons who are overweight as they lack stamina and endurance.
- Increased Life Insurance Premiums and Health Care Costs– Persons who are overweight tend to spend more on health care than fit persons. Additionally, premiums may increase as persons who suffer from obesity are more likely to develop lifestyle diseases.
- Wardrobe Expenses– persons who continue to put on weight have to buy clothes more often than other persons who maintain a healthy weight. This is because the clothes simply don't fit anymore.
Psychological and Social Effects
Obesity can also have some psychological and social effects. These include:
- Anxiety – Persons who are obese constantly live in fear of being made fun of or rejected by society. As a result, they suffer from anxiety.
- Low Self-Esteem – Low self-esteem is very common for persons who are obese due to the pressures and abuses of society. This can lead to withdrawal, eating disorders depression and even suicide.
- Eating Disorders – The pressure from society can cause them to develop eating disorders such as Bulimia just to lose weight.
Luckily, you can lessen the chance of this happening to you by eating healthy and being active. Persons who are overweight and wish to undergo weight loss in Singapore can visit a slimming centre where there are a wide variety of effective slimming treatment services available that can help you to reach your desired weight goal.

There is no doubt that the Monkey is Kay Bojesen's most famous wooden figure. Hundreds of thousands of monkeys play their way through life in offices, on shelves and in children's rooms all over the world, and even though Kay Bojesen often insisted that he had designed a lot more than his wooden animals, it is easy to see why the Monkey has come to be his signature design.
With brilliant craftsmanship, an eye for detail, smiling lines and welcoming appearance, the Monkey embodies Kay Bojesen's design universe to the letter. At the same time, the Monkey's mission is exactly the same as Kay Bojesen's: to play their way through life with mischief, a smile, and intelligence.
And there's plenty of intelligence in the Monkey's intricate design, with moving arms and legs, and from the moment it saw the light of day as a coat peg design for a children's furniture exhibition in 1951, it has become a cult item. It is a collector's item and makes a great gift, too, because there's always an occasion for pegging up good design.
And that's exactly what Kay Bojesen Denmark has in mind with the launch of this autumn's two new monkeys: Monkey in oak/maple and Monkey in oak/smoked oak will appeal to fans of the Scandinavian furniture design tradition and of wood figures in all shapes and sizes.
Two sides of the same wood trend
The Monkey as we know it today is made of teak and limba wood. Its polished surface invites you to lovingly caress its gently rounded belly. The dark teak version evokes retro-cool references to the 1950s palisander trend, so the head of the troupe differs significantly from this season's two new variants, both created with firm roots in contemporary Scandinavian furniture design traditions.
Here, designers including Wegner and Børge Mogensen have long since made light oak a must, while the dark, smoked oak is currently popping up everywhere in interior design trends – on floors and in kitchens as well as in furniture and design details in
home interiors.
Even though this autumn's two new products are twins in their design DNA, they are far from identical. The light Monkey swings directly into the Scandinavian Living style, mixing with new and old classics alike, while the dark Monkey makes itself at home with its exotic, deep colours harking back to the Monkey's origins deep in the jungles of design.
The Monkey brothers share two important features: excellent craftsmanship
and exclusive, natural materials that give the design superb sustainability, as the timber takes on a trendy patina with age as only a true classic can.

Has anybody been able to get in touch with John? The number I have goes to a voicemail with no name (listed on the site) and emails are not getting returned. He sent me a wrong part and I am screwed if I don't get the right one quickly.
Has anybody been able to get in touch with John? The number I have goes to a voicemail with no name (listed on the site) and emails are not getting returned. He sent me a wrong part and I am screwed if I don't get the right one quickly.
I think I caught him at just the right time. LOL I had to email him about something else and told him people were asking about him. This is what I got back.........
Everything is fine here. I am building a new shop and more time consuming is a modified torus pro. We are going full Siemens controls and will be UL certified. The new mills are being built in China now, but will not have the cabinet on the back side. The cabimet will instead be on the side of the stand. We will have a kit form for older mills, but we have to complete the first kit we are working on now. The new mill will have rigid tapping and a more powerful spindle motor and all servo axes. Fully commercial and a little more expensive also. I am not sure if we will have a stepper version, depending on interest mainly.
We also just finished a contract yesterday to build a US CO2 laser with our own design. A lot of new features not on the imports we represent. I will still sell Bodor, but pushing US built, though slightly higher in price. Demo will be started next week and should have pictures for the zone starting in a few weeks. We will have construction shots as we go. Should be interesting.
We will also will be releasing the mill announcement about the same time. We will be limited to conceptual drawings for a few months before the mills show up.
You can share this info if you like since we will release it anyway very soon. Days are long with work!

Don't have to be too bright to be me
No need to panic Keith, we do get the messages and respond as quickly as we can. It was only a few hours since you called in when we returned your call, later in the early evening...and being a holiday, end of week leave early day....
Just a note, we did some changes to the office phone system a few days ago and we did miss the message forwarding feature. All corrected now.
Your flex coupler was sent out so you should have it in a few days. I also made arrangements for the spare Torus PRO casted parts you wanted. I will keep you posted.
Definitely we will be starting some new threads on the revised mill and CO2 laser very soon. We still have to gather up more information to better represent the new machines but I am sure all will be interesting to follow it's development. Schedules tend to slide, but having the laser built and assembled locally, it is a huge plus. We will have production pictures as we move along and I don't anticipate a very long waiting period before we have production lasers ready.

Healthy Work/Life Balance
Work, work, work — that's the American way, right? It doesn't have to be. Of course, we'd be lying if we said that many folks didn't work too hard at their jobs for too little pay.

Residents asks Municipality Board to improve sanitation in Murang'a town
By Bernard Munyao – Kna Muranga
Residents of Murang'a town and the business community are challenging the newly inaugurated Municipality Board to improve sanitation and security within the town.
Speaking during a public participation forum in Murang'a town, the residents decried what they described as deteriorating sanitation standards which were putting their lives at risk of contradicting diseases.
Increased population in Murang'a town and its environment, the participants claimed, had exerted pressure on available sanitation facilities hence the urgent need to expand the facilities.
Traders at Mukuyu open market on the outskirts of the town complained that the town has not been supplied with water for several months, something which puts locals at risk of contracting cholera among other water borne diseases.
Phyllis Waithera, a trader at the market told members of the Board headed by Ben Githinji that they have been forced to access toilet services from neighbouring residential houses after water connected to the market toilets was disconnected.
"The market is one of the main sources of revenue to Murang'a County government but it's unfortunate the place lacks clean water!" posed Waithera.
She also challenged the Board to install security lights within the markets saying theft of their merchandise have increased in the recent past.
The residents further decried delay in collection of garbage, accusing devolved administration of not providing enough facilities and manpower towards effective collection and disposal of garbage.
"We cast our hopes to you Municipality Board in employing enough personnel to handle cleaning, garbage collection and manning of sewerage line so as we can live in clean environment," one of the residents Peter Mwangi told the members of the Board.
Mwangi said the Board needs also to increase trucks so as to ensure the exercise of collection of garbage is done on a daily basis.
The seven-member Murang'a Municipal Board was inaugurated in February this year and has started collecting views from residents before embarking into delivering services.
The Board, will get funding from the National government through the Kenya Urban Centres Support Programme and also from the county government in effort to improve services within Murang'a town and neighbouring urban centres.
The municipality board is also entrusted to mobilize resources from donors among other shareholders towards achievement of its responsibilities.
Fielding questions from the participants, the members of the Board promised to move swiftly and provide needed services in the town.
The chairman of the Board, Githinji said they will work in consultation with the residents so as to give priority to areas they have identified.
He further observed that municipality has already received Sh. 60 million from the Kenya Urban Centres Support Programme to kick start its functions.
One of the members of the Board Doctor Bernard Muia said sanitation will be given priority so as to ensure residents are saved from contracting diseases.
"Cleanliness is very crucial as it will help in curbing outbreak of diseases and also enable our traders to operate in better environment," added Muia.
He said the Board will put in place measure will ensure high standards of sanitation are attained within the town and its environment.

Aleksandra VolovikAccount Manager, Talan Events
When I needed an internship after the university, I accidentally got into AGAMA Communications. One friend, who works in the holding up to this day, brought me here and said that I will make it.

Buying a home or other piece of real estate will be one of the most significant decisions of your life, so it's vital that you go into this process with a solid understanding of what is involved. This article will lay out the basics and give you good advice on how to proceed.
Don't forget your pets when you evaluate a potential real estate purchase. It is not just apartments and condos that can impose strictures on pet owners; some ordinary private homes are subject to regulations that can affect your pooch or kitty. No matter how appealing a possible new home is to you, you should make sure your pet will find it equally welcoming.
Do lots of research about the neighborhood you are considering buying in, before you make the purchase of a new home. Look at the crime rate, the school system and home owners association. You are buying in to that community and deciding that you don't fit in later can be stressful and costly.
One important tip when it comes to real estate is to make absolute sure that your appraiser is legitimate. This is extremely important because this is the person who is responsible for inspecting the house and making sure not only that everything is up to code, but also will let you know about any unforeseen maintenance that might be needed. It is recommended that your appraiser have over five year of experience and be licensed or certified by the state.
When you are moving, pack a suitcase full of things that you may need for a few days. Include things like clothing and toiletries. Keep this suitcase separate from everything else so that you can have easy access to things that you would need until you can get totally unpacked at your new home.
Buying a home is like forced savings. There are some people who have a hard time saving money. A house can work as an automatic savings plan. When you make your monthly payment, a portion is applied towards your principal. Also, a house will appreciate every year by around five percent. Many say buying a house is one of the best financial investments.
Searching for real estate can be overwhelming, luckily there are many sources available. Many real estate companies list available properties on their websites, which you can browse through at your leisure. If you are just curious and do not want to commit to a real estate agent, Craigslist and the local newspaper, are also great places to start.
Get pre-qualified for a loan. Before you even look at a single home, get pre-qualified by a lender. This way you will avoid the heartbreak of falling in love with a house that you simply can't afford. Check out the variety of loan options available, and figure out exactly how much money you will need for closing costs.
As more and more home buyers do their shopping on the internet, curb appeal is more important than ever. Be sure to spruce up the exterior of your house before you put it on the market. If the outside of a house doesn't immediately attract attention, buyers will just click ahead to the next property.
You always want to do a lot of research before you decide to buy any property. Many people jump into the property market too quickly, make bad purchases, and end up losing a lot of money and time. Always try to understand as much about your area and all the real estate info available before you even consider buying a property.
You don't have to let the idea of becoming a property owner intimidate you. While the process may seem opaque and confusing at first, some basic education can clear up much of your confusion. By applying the ideas you've learned in this article, buying real estate can be a painless and rewarding process.

Fitch Ratings has upgraded Cyprus`s Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) to `BB+` from BB` with a positive outlook. The rating is just one step before the investment scale.
Fitch said that future developments that may individually or collectively lead to an upgrade, include the reduction in banking sector NPEs, which materially reduces the sovereign`s contingent liabilities and tracks record of declining GGGD/GDP ratio and continued deleveraging of the private sector.
It notes that it does not currently anticipate developments with a high likelihood of leading to a downgrade. However, it says that future developments that may individually or collectively lead to negative rating action include failure to improve asset quality in the banking sector and deterioration of budget balances or further materialisation of contingent liabilities that results in the stalling of the decline in the government debt-to-GDP ratio.
In its key assumptions, it notes that gross government debt-reducing operations such as future privatisations are not considered in Fitch`s baseline scenario. The projections also do not include the impact of potential future gas reserves off the southern shores of Cyprus, the benefits from which are several years into the future.
It says that Cyprus`s external financing flexibility has improved substantially since the country exited the macroeconomic adjustment programme in March 2016 (Source: www.stockwatch.com.cy).
Τhe GDP growth rate in real terms during the fourth quarter of 2017 is positive and estimated at +3.9% over the corresponding quarter of 2016. Based on seasonally and working day adjusted data, GDP growth rate in real terms is estimated at +3.9%. The increase of the GDP growth rate is mainly attributed to the sectors: "Hotels and Restaurants", "Retail anand Wholesale Trade", "Construction", and "Manufacturing" (Source: CYSTAT).
Construction in Cyprus increased by 6.3% in the last quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter and by 12.0% compared to the last quarter of 2016, according to first estimates from Eurostat.
House prices, as measured by the House Price Index, rose by 4.2% in the euro area and by 4.5% in the EU in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared with the same quarter of the previous year. Compared with the third quarter of 2017, house prices rose by 0.9% in the euro area and by 0.7% in the EU in the fourth quarter of 2017.
According to Eurostat, house prices in Cyprus increased by 2.7% compared to the third quarter and by 2.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. (Source: www.stockwatch.com.cy).
The Statistical Service hereby announces the preliminary fiscal results for 2017, which have been audited and verified within the Excessive Deficit Procedure framework of the European Commission. The results for 2017 indicate a fiscal surplus of €343,5 mn, which corresponds to 1,8% of GDP and a fiscal debt of €18.724,8 mn, which corresponds to 97,5% of GDP (Source: CYSTAT).
The trade deficit declined to €412,9 mn in January 2018 compared to €453,0 mn in the corresponding period of 2017, the Statistical Service of Cyprus reported on Monday. Total imports in January 2018 were down to €616,4 mn compared to €633,6 mn in January 2017, while total exports increased to €203,6mn compared to €180,6 mn in the same month last year.

According to the CPC, productivity measured as GDP per employee rose by 0,5% in 2017 compared with 2016, while productivity measured as GDP per working hour increased by 0.6% compared with 2016.
The rise in labour productivity is mainly due to the GDP increase by 3.9%, employment increase by 3.4% and the numbers of employees by 3,4% and working hours by 3.3%, the CPC said. For the period of 2015-2017 labour productivity in Cyprus rose by 0.4% measured as GDP per employee and by 0.5% measured as GDP per working hour.
The secondary sector in Cyprus marked the highest increase with 7.0%, due to a 12.9% rise in Gross Value Added per working hour and an increase of 5.5% in total working hours.
The primary sector, where Gross Value Added increased but working hours remained the same, registered an increase of 2.5% compared with 2016. In construction, productivity spiked by 14.9% due to GVA which rose by 25% and employment by 8.8%, the CPC added.
The sectors of hotels and restaurants, manufacturing industries and wholesale and retail trade also increased with GVA per working hour increase of 5.7%, 3.7% and 2.6% respectively, owing to increase in GVA and an increase in employment to a smaller extend.

When their clothes and other personal effects began disappearing, Diego's parents knew the time had come for professional help. Their own son was stealing from them. Even a tank of bottled gas disappeared from their home in the greater Quito area in Ecuador where liquefied petroleum gas commonly serves to fuel kitchen stoves.
"Some 15 months ago his parents came to me with the singular purpose of helping their son," related Antonio Torres, who counsels listeners at Radio Station HCJB in Quito. "They knew all too well the private personal hell of living with an addict's self-absorbed behavior."
Approaching age 30, Diego had fathered a child, but his lifestyle didn't offer the 18-month-old toddler any stability. He had been nursing a drug habit for more than a decade and had already been in and out of drug treatment centers.
Diego's illicit drug use began in his early teens, a similar experience to that of other Ecuadorian youth who experiment with drugs. The average age for initial use is age 14, according to survey results of more than half a million 12- to 17-year-old Ecuadorians.
The 2012 survey by the Consejo Nacional de Control de Sustancias Psicotrópicas y Estupefacientes (National Council to Monitor Psychotropic Substances and Drugs) and the Observatorio Nacional de Drogas (National Drug Observatory) showed that just 1 percent of those surveyed were abusing marijuana. It was the primary drug for consumption, with perhaps 2 percent abusing alcohol.
Diego, in spurning help offered down through the years, had fled the rehabilitation centers instead of confronting his growing problem. On one occasion he had even tried to end it all with a suicide attempt.
After talking with the parents, Torres put the family in touch with a friend in Peru, Pastor Luis Bernales, who personally traveled some 36 hours by bus from Lima to accompany Diego to his Centro Clamor en el Barrio (Cry Out Center in the Neighborhood), a drug rehabilitation facility in Lima. It was an offer that Diego gladly accepted.
Upon completion of the program, the young man returned to Quito in March. He began attending a church near the radio station and is living with his parents. Each evening he studies the Bible with them, according to Torres, "he really wants to enter an evangelical seminary, get firmly grounded and serve the Lord as a pastor."
