Overview: These handlebars are constructed with seamless CNC mandrel bent 0.120" wall 4130 chromoly tubes. Available smooth for custom and non H-D applications or dimpled to accept original equipment Harley-Davidson hand controls.
These bars look great on: Sportsters, club style anything, flat track inspired customs, modern Triumphs, etc. It's easier to say what these don't look good on.

Great bars, couldn't decide wheather to get the drag bars from Biltwell or the trackers. Glad I got the trackers, took me 15 minutes to install and this bars are way better then my original with way less vibration when I mount my video camera at the track. Position is nice and aggressive for me. Thanks Biltwell.

Common Sense Cooking and Eating Guidelines, Alan McIver, Cape Town, South Africa.
Obesity is a major concern in most Western societies and the merits or otherwise of various diets are the subject of endless speculation and debate, all of which is frankly rather boring. Equally boring is the prospect of spending a good portion of ones life pounding pavements or on a treadmill as penance for insisting on having ones cake and eating it. However comments such as:
Just dont put the food in your mouth have you ever seen a fat person in a concentration camp
Accumulation equals in minus out
Its not that she eats too much she has a glandular problem
are not much help either. While I am not a nutritionist, it seems that common sense should prevail when it comes to eating. Firstly some observations, as follows:
Evolution: We evolved as omnivores i.e. we eat both animals rich in protein as well as vegetable matter. Further, until quite recently we were hunter gatherers. In other words, we ate whatever animals we were able to catch. However animals dont like getting caught and eaten and have a habit of running away under such circumstances. So once we had caught something we gave up further attempts at hunting and made up the difference with foods that could be gathered such as fruits, roots, berries, nuts, edible leaves and so on. Furthermore, until quite recently when cattle were domesticated, milk did not form part of our diet and it is therefore unsurprising that many humans are lactose (the type of sugar found in milk) intolerant.
Quantity of Food: It took a lot of effort to catch prey and gather the food that made up our hunter/gatherer diets. So food was often a limiting resource. However, even when not limiting, it made no sense to collect or hunt more food than one needed.
Fire: Being omnivores we are generalists insofar as food is concerned. We are able to consume a wider range of foods than most other animals but do not produce the enzymes that would enable us to consume raw meat (as is the case in predators such as cats and dogs) or carbohydrates like uncooked potato or rice in the case of herbivores. Accordingly, the ability to harness fire was one of the most important steps in human evolution because it enabled us to cook food, which converts proteins and carbohydrates into forms that are more easily digested, giving us access to a greater quantity and a wider range of food than would otherwise be the case.
Culture: The entire family participated in the hunting and gathering of food. Today it continues to play an important role in all cultures and is usually an activity in which all members are expected to participate
Cleanliness: Given the circumstances under which they lived, modern ideas about hygiene were undoubtedly absent. Certainly the water they drank was filled with nasties, some of which were life threatening.
When to Eat: We need energy when we are awake and our digestive systems are most active rather than when we are asleep.
Variations in diet: They ate the food which was available during the season in question. Which meant that they enjoyed a varied diet, with food coming from many rather than a single source.
The corollary to this argument is that sucrose, lactose, salt and stimulants like coffee and tea were absent from their diet. In addition, since the food they ate was unprocessed, it contained large quantities of fibre. Lastly, it has recently been discovered that (a) the more protein one eats, the less hungry one feels, (b) while modern standards of hygiene are a good thing, a little bit of the right kind of dirt never killed anyone (see the Hygiene Hypothesis) and (c) the less food one consumes the more healthy you are and the longer you live.
Several common-sense guidelines emerge from such observations, as follows:
1. When to Eat: If you eat one large meal each day, it should be in the morning or lunch time at the latest because we need energy during the day rather than at night when our metabolism slows down.
2. Proteins and Salads First: Try to eat proteins and salads before carbohydrates, and not the other way around. So carbohydrates such as rice, potatoes, bread, jam on toast and puddings as well as fruits should be consumed towards the end of the meal rather than at the beginning. That way ones intake of food is lower.
3. Complex Sugars: Try to eat complex sugars such as those in fresh fruits, vegetables and honey rather than the sucrose and dextrose added to processed foods. The reason being that the latter metabolize rapidly and this causes a steep spike in blood sugar concentrations. Furthermore, only dairy products from which the lactose has been removed (by fermentation with lactobacillus -- e.g. yogurt and cheese) should be consumed. In other words, drinking milk is not a wise practise, generally speaking.
4. Salads: Try to maximize the quantity of salads in ones diet because that increases the amount of fibre, ensuring the proper functioning of ones stomach and colon. Many of us (I am one) dislike vegetables that have had the goodness cooked out of them so one needs to compensate by including as much salad as possible in ones diet. The one exception to this rule is soup (and potjiekos) which seems to have gone out of fashion these days.
5. Fun: Lastly cooking and eating should be both enjoyable as well as fun. If it isnt you are doing something wrong. In which case our efforts to eat sensibly are unsustainable and you will ultimately fail with attempts to gain control over your eating habits.
The entire family should participate in food preparation not just mothers. Food preparation and eating should be the focus of activity in a home and all should have some responsibilities in this regard, such as food preparation, setting the table, washing the dishes afterwards, taking out the rubbish, etc. because it is not much fun if one person must do it all on their own. There is a much longer list of donts such as dont (a) eat foods that have been processed and contain heaps of saturated fats, sucrose, dextrose, lactose, flavourants, colourants and preservatives, (b) eat fast foods, (c) eat foods containing preservatives and (d) drink stimulants such as tea, coffee or soft drinks. All of which is true. But to focus on the negative is tiresome and ultimately counter-productive. Instead, enjoy an ice cream, a coke and eat a hamburger or some chocolate now and then but always in moderation. And never use the word never because we all slip and, when we do, we set ourselves up to fail which is very demotivating.

MigrainesSome women find that their migraines become
worse in pregnancy while some find that migraine attacks
reduce dramatically during pregnancy. The high levels of
the pregnancy hormone, oestrogen are associated with
migraine in pregnancy. Whatever the situation for you, try
to avoid the triggers of migraines like hunger, stress etc.
If however, your migraines are accompanied with blurred
vision, speak to a doctor as this could be pre-eclampsia.
Pain killers like paracetamol are safe in pregnancy within
the prescribed dose.
What is it? A baby born preterm after 24 weeks of pregnancy is able to survive under special care. However, if the baby is lost before 24 weeks, it is called a miscarriage. It may be threatened, missed or inevitable. A threatened miscarriage is one in which there is a threat to the pregnancy with vaginal bleeding and pain but the foetus remains healthy and pregnancy completes its term. In a missed miscarriage, the foetus dies but is not expelled from the womb. It may be expelled later or removed by an operation. An inevitable miscarriage is one in which the foetus is expelled from the womb.
* Hormonal problems
* Disease or infection
* Ectopic pregnancy
* Incompetent cervix
* Defects in the placenta, egg or sperm
* Abnormalities in the womb
* Chromosomal problem
The causes above are the known causes. Sometimes a miscarriage may happen for no apparent reason. Miscarriages most commonly occur in the first three months of pregnancy.
Symptoms: An early miscarriage is quite similar to a period with the same sort of bleeding and pains. Infact, many women sometimes are unaware that they have miscarried and mistake a miscarriage for a normal period. Late miscarriages are characterised by bleeding accompanied with labour like pains. Any kind of bleeding in pregnancy must be reported to a doctor or midwife immediately.
Treatment: After the miscarriage, you will undergo an ultrasound scan to try and determine what caused the miscarriage. Sometimes, a D and C (Dilation and Curettage) or ERPC (Evacuation of Retained Products of Conception) may be required to clear the womb and prevent infection which could affect later pregnancies.

It was a perfectly sunny day to explore Prosecco Vineyards. Not a very touristic location like Cinque Terre or the Amalfi Coast or Venice. This place was calm, serene, humble, and exuded years of tradition and culture. With the sun kissing the acres of vineyards, and no one else in sight, I knew I found something special. After some hours of pondering on where to go after Piran, Slovenia, I found this gem. It's the unknown and underrated, "Prosecco Route". Covering roughly 50km, I visited several of the cute little towns, abandoned castles, and of course Prosecco wineries. Here are some of my highlights!
My first stop was at an ancient mill built in the 17th century, "Molinetto della Croda." It was by far, and without exaggeration one of the most picturesque and romantic spot I've visited!
As per my usual form of enjoyment it seems… I set up yet another picnic! There was even a wooden table, some benches and 3 ducks in the lake to set the mood. Honeymooners, you're going to want to go here!
Another favorite was definitely somewhere in between Farra di Soligo and Santo Stefano. I could not tell you the name of this abandoned castle for the life of me, but it was beautiful, with an amazing view of the entire town of Farra di Soligo.
The highlight however, would have to be the breath-taking vineyard landscape at Valdobbiadene. Every moment in this area was photographic material. The inner photographer in me just couldn't contain her excitement. I took over 200 photos here. Yes, slightly excessive, but we all have issues. Haha!
I stopped at one of the wineries here, and tried a few of the sparkling wine whites. Mmm….delicious and fresh Prosecco. Life just doesn't get better than this.
Ending the day Lago di Santa Maria, or Santa Maria Lake, was simply blissful with the stunning mountainous scenery in the backdrop. To get here, I actually had to trespass an RV camp ground, because there was literally no other access into this lake that I could find! After enjoying the view for about an hour, I got caught and was kicked out. Oops!
The last leg of the trip was the drive to Belluno and spend the night there. On the drive, I got a glimpse of the most gorgeous sunset of all time. If my stomach wasn't in tight knots from taking the narrow unused steep winding road (with no street signs, street lamps, and cellular connection) up the mountain, then I probably would have enjoyed the sunset a lot more. The road was supposed to be a shortcut. But in all seriousness, that's one adventure I could have lived without.
I was beyond ecstatic to finally arrive at Belluno, a gorgeous little Italian town.

Five Minutes at Moogfest with M83
Easily the most breathtaking performance that took place at this year's Moogfest in Asheville, NC (read our wrap-up here) was the stadium-sized explosion of driving synth-pop that M83 unleashed on the final night of the festival. It was awe-inspiring, to say the least, and further went to solidify how much we love Anthony Gonzalez's latest double-LP, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, so we had to make sure to chat with the French-born producer while we had the chance. During our quick conversation, Gonzalez shared with us some insight as to why he'll always be fascinated with childhood and explained how he doesn't want everyone to love the music he makes.
XLR8R: The release of Hurry Up, We're Dreaming seems to have been met with widespread acclaim, but there are still those that say making a double album was a bit self-indulgent. What do you think of comments like that?
M83: I mean, this is part of the game. You spend time on an album, and some people won't like or won't understand it. I've been making music more than 10 years, so I'm used to bad review and bad criticism. And that's fine. I think it's important for me to feel that some people really enjoy this album, but it's also important for me to feel that there are some people who don't like it. It's good to not be loved by everyone.
What is it that you like about people not loving your music?
Well, it's just a question of personality, you know? Sometimes you're going to be moved by a song or not. It's totally random. It's what I like about being a musician and what I like about being a music listener: you respond to some melodies, and you don't respond to other ones. That's the game, yeah.
Throughout pretty much all of your work there's an extreme focus on the idea of being a child and the exuberance of youth. Is that something that you'd ever see yourself growing out of?
I feel like it's almost impossible for me to get away from my childhood and my teenage years. It's part of myself, and writing music and composing songs about my past is the only way I've found to remember [those times]. It's like a therapy almost, to write about it so I can remember it.
Are there any specific memories that were brought up when you made Hurry Up, We're Dreaming?
Tons of memories! When I started to compose this album, I moved to California, and I was feeling very lonely there because I was away from my friends and family. I was in a new city, so it was tough. What really kept me going was remembering happy memories from my childhood. It was almost necessary to do this, like, return to the past.

Like a necklace, the plane suddenly swung
Backwards as if on a string. Hung there.
The airport was a shed in a field. What wasn't
Attached to the ground paused like tickets to
An event. The people always waited for stuff here.
Always. Unless they were dead. In which case they
Partied with a kind of know-it-all assurance.
But they didn't know it all. Their gravestones
Read like short stupid books. And I laughed -
Once I had heard the end of the joke. Although
I didn't laugh at the punchline, instead
The beginning, which must have gone wrong.
The conclusion didn't work. It just
Hung in the air like a hangman's rope. Quiet.
As something swinging. Perhaps a signpost in an
Empty town. Empty of people who realised
Things anyhow. Because arrivals only happened
Elsewhere. Where they couldn't be thieved.
By waiting longtime, longfaced, for the finish of something.

How much coffee you plan to sell is one of the first considerations to make. There is a Bunn brewer to suit nearly every volume need, from 2.9 to 15 gallons per hour. The highest-volume brewers have two brew heads, meaning you can brew regular and decaffeinated coffee at the same time or double batches of either. Bunn coffee makers with double brew heads will take up more counter space, and it's always important to choose a model that will fit into the space you have available to dedicate.
Another factor to keep in mind when choosing which volume of coffee maker will work best for your operation is the equipment's voltage requirements. While voltages will vary, one way to get a read on a machine's production potential is to look at its wattage rating. Typically, models that have a higher number there can recover to brewing temperatures more quickly when fresh water is added, which means more time spent brewing.
Water Source
Because coffee is roughly 98 percent water, the water source is another factor to consider when purchasing a Bunn coffee maker. The water used in making coffee can have a major impact on its flavor, and how the water comes into the machine can have a big impact on the workflow in your kitchen or serving area.
A pourover coffee brewer has a water tank that must be refilled manually. The frequency with which that task must be completed will be determined by the size of the tank and the volume of coffee being made. This type of Bunn coffee maker is ideal for kitchens where it is not convenient to plumb a water line into the unit, and is also great for uses where the unit may need to be moved around, such as for a catering operation. Because production is limited by the size of the tank and its need to be refilled, this type of brewer has a lower production potential, with the highest-capacity brewer producing 3.9 gallons per hour.
An automatic coffee brewer connects to a water line and is automatically refilled whenever it brews coffee. This lets the brewer constantly heat water for the next batch, allowing it to produce much higher volumes than similarly-sized pourover brewers. This brewer cannot be moved once it is installed, as it will be connected to a water line and cannot function without that connection.
Burner Configuration
The number and configuration of burners you need will be determined by your counter space and the number of Bunn decanters you will be using. Pourover brewers are available with two or three warmers, while automatic coffee brewers can have as many as six. A low-volume operation may only need a couple warmers, but if you plan on brewing both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, you may benefit from having a second warmer. For higher-volume operations where several servers may need to use several decanters simultaneously, multiple burners allow you to keep a number of batches of coffee warm at the same time. Multiple burners are also great for operators who wish to offer a variety of brew flavors.
Special Features & Accessories
There are several special features and accessories that can make your Bunn coffee maker more convenient and easier to use. Keep the following options in mind when shopping for your brewer.
- Bunn Decanters: Bunn decanters are available in all-glass models and models constructed of glass with a stainless steel bottom. All-stainless-steel thermal carafes are also available for restaurants that may have the carafe away from the warming plates for extended periods of time. All carafes are available with either black or orange plastic tops and handles to make it easy for your servers to distinguish decaffeinated from regular coffee.
- Paper Coffee Filters: Bunn makes paper filters that are specially-designed to fit their machines to give you the best results and prevent overflows. Fast-flow filters are also available for when time is of the essence.
- Hot Water Faucet: A hot water faucet allows you to take advantage of the brewer's hot water to make other drinks, such as tea or hot chocolate. This feature is not available on pourover brewers due to their limited water supply, but can be found on most automatic brewers.
- Water Filter: If you are purchasing an automatic coffee brewer, you may want to consider adding a water filter. Filters can help improve the flavor of the incoming water and can also help prevent hard water buildup on the inside of your coffee maker.
- Digital Controls: Some Bunn coffee makers feature digital controls with an LCD screen. These controls allow you to determine the brew temperature, pre-infusion time, and pulse brew options, giving you finer control over the flavor of your final product.


text: hey all, Todays task involved getting an Epson Photo 810 printer to print using the office Toshiba laptop running Windoze. All I wanted to do was print an image off a floppy disk to the new printer. Being a Mac user I openend the image in and just clicked print expecting the printer to come to life and print the medical image that I had loaded (it was just a gif). This is where I fell down!! The laptop running Windoze expee did not recognise the printer and would not print!! I had my Powerbook at work so I figured that I should d/l the latest driver and install it on the Pcee laptop. I burnt the driver to disk an shoved it into the Pcee and clicked the .exe expecting it to be done but no - nothing happened. I did this a few times without luck and finally got fed up with it. We needed this image to be printed so I thought - hey the Powerbook can do it - just give me a CDR and 5 minutes and it will be done. I then recieved numerous comments including' that won't work - its a Mac' and - 'have you got the latest drivers - you need the latest drivers' my reply was just watch and see. So, i burnt the image to cd, whacked it into the Powerbook and shoved the USB cable into the port . I opened the image in preview and clicked print. The printer came to life and delivered the image. To everyones amazement i held up the image and said 'done - and who says Macs are useless?' There was complete silence. Nobody could acknowledge that the process was completed in such a short time so easily. So, there you have it. The Apple Macintosh wins the day again. aussie_geek (feeling really good about his Powerbook )

Celebrate 70th Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Long will be celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary on September 2, 2009.
Dorothy, the daughter of the late Howard and Elsie Defibaugh of White Church, Bedford County, and Robert, the son of the late Curtis and Jane Long of New Grenada, Fulton County, were united in marriage in 1939 in Three Springs.
They are the parents of seven living children and two sons who died at birth. Their surviving children are Jean Sonnenberg (wife of Louis) of Lewistown; Ethel Ford (wife of Neil) of Three Springs; Nancy Duvall of Hopewell; Susan Faulk (wife of James) of Greencastle; Pam Metzler of Claysburg; Penny Shaffer of Wells Tannery and Robert Long Jr., Wells Tannery. They enjoy their large family, which includes 11 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. Their extended family is widespread, living as close as Wells Tannery, Maddensville and Chambersburg but also in Virginia, Georgia, Alabama and Hawaii.
Bob has always been an avid sportsman, who loved to hunt and fish. He was also quite a marksman. Along with working in the coal mines, being a school custodian, millwright, construction worker and school board member, he always enjoyed planting a large garden.
Dot has been the homemaker and caregiver for their large family. She was always able to provide a beautiful table with canned goods from the garden being supplemented with fish and game harvested by Bob and the necessary grocery items. A wonderful cook and baker, she made bread, pies and cakes for the family and friends that are remembered to this day. Sunday meal times always found the family surrounded by aunts, uncles and cousins who enjoyed most of the day with them. They still host many family get-togethers and the birthday parties for many family members. Always the hard workers of their generation, they have now slowed down enough to smell the roses and reminisce about the 70 years they have shared, realizing that not many couples reach this milestone.
The family is hoping all will help them celebrate by sharing good wishes with a card. The address is 269 Enid Road, Wells Tannery, PA 16691.

A Few Words with US Beef Chairman, Jeff Davis
What changes and expansion plans are currently in the works for US Beef?
In a phrase, we are in an accelerated growth mode. In December, 2015, we announced a new development agreement with our franchisor, Arby's Restaurant Group (ARG) to build 70 new restaurants through 2022, including 40 new restaurants in the Denver, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs, and Boise, ID markets, which we acquired in December, 2013. We also have design plans on the table to remodel 123 of our restaurants through 2022. By the end of 2022, the US Beef footprint will total more than 400 Arby's restaurants in nine contiguous Midwest and western states. What we're really excited about is how this translates to a lot of career opportunities with our current and prospective colleagues. It's a good time to be associated with US Beef.
With all the restaurant choices that exist today, what does it take for a longstanding restaurant such as Arby's to stand out from the crowded competition?
Very timely question. The Arby's brand celebrated its 50th Anniversary in business in 2014, and my father, Bob Davis, purchased his first Arby's at 42nd and Peoria in 1969. So it is indeed an iconic national brand that has stood the test of time by being innovative and different at a time when burger places were opening up on every corner. Arby's was the first fast food restaurant to offer their guests a healthier choice and a big taste with slow roasted roast beef – not fried – with bold new sauces in Arby's sauce and Horsey sauce, seasoned curly fries that were unique and fun to eat, and of course, our famous Jamocha shake. Our sandwiches demonstrated to value seeking customers that value is defined in the quality and quantity of the product, not just price. But in today's competitive environment, with new food concepts opening every day around the country and in our territories, Arby's recognized it too needed to evolve and give our guests more choices with exciting new taste profiles. That was the inertia behind our newest concept, "Meatcraft makes the sandwich" and the advertising campaign, "We have the meats". Our position in the food category has a unique niche between traditional QSR (Quick Service Restaurants) and Fast Casual, offering our guests generous portions of premium cuts of meat to make deli inspired sandwiches like our Reuben, Smokehouse Brisket, Gyros, and French Dip. We have a huge new product pipeline and are in test markets constantly trying to determine what the next hot food trend in menu development is and store design to delight our guests every time they step into our stores or go through our drive thru. Naturally, for all of our Arby's loyalists, we'll always be ready to slice you your favorite Classic roast beef or beef 'n cheddar sandwich. Of course, I'd be remiss in not mentioning our greatest differentiation – our people. You can't train friendly, you hire it. And since we opened our doors in 1969, we've focused our recruiting efforts on hiring people who share our family's Compass philosophy and culture of serving our guests as if they were coming into our own homes, with enduring core values of Commitment – Respect – and Humility!
Have you personally tried every Arby's menu item? What's your personal favorite?
I absolutely try every Arby's menu item. I've served on the Arby's Franchisee Association board of directors, and we're able to sample 6 to 8 new products quarterly coming out of Arby's test kitchens in Atlanta. Of course, it's like a wine tasting. You sample just a few bites from each new sandwich, side items, or desserts. At the risk of sounding biased, I have to say Arby's has great chefs in the kitchen, always striving to bring new and exciting taste profiles into our restaurants, and recent sales and transactions trends indicate they're doing just that. One of the great things about Arby's is that you can eat lunch or dinner there 7 days a week for a month and be able to choose a difference meal every time. As to my personal favorite, I'm one of those loyalists I referenced earlier who literally grew up on our Classic Roast Beef. Wrap up one of those with an order of potato cakes and a Jamocha shake, some Arby's sauce, and I'm a very happy diner.

Aisha pushed her chair away and stood, stretching. She leaned on the back of my seat. 'This is really good, Paul. People are going to love this.'When Olives - a violent romance was first written back in 2004, the Internet in the Middle East was less than ten years old and there was little sense in having a website for a contract published magazine. Of course, time changed that and Jordan has been at the very forefront of the region's online development - Jordan's got the most competitive telecoms sector in the region and punches well above its weight when it comes to software development, fostering startups and generally creating intellectual property.
I grinned. 'Thanks. I hope so.'
'Zahlan's concerned it's all on dead trees. You know that, right?'
I nodded. 'Yes. He made it abundantly clear. He wants an online version as well as what he calls "more interactivity" but that wasn't really part of the plan. We did discuss that carefully with Mr Shukri when we signed the deal.'
Aisha sat back down, this time sideways with her legs crossed towards me and taking sips of coffee, her red nails rich against the white and gold porcelain. 'Yes, but Shukri's old school. He wouldn't know the Internet if it came round and bit him on the ass. I think your Robin sort of took advantage of it. But Shukri's gone now. Zahlan's in charge and he's shaking things up. He's very good you know, Paul.'
Olives, Page 24
It would be inconceivable to have such a project today without a website, yet there are still 'Shukris' in the woodwork, old skool types who would let a sneaky beast like Robin sign up a magazine contract with no online element.
And so Paul has to, as the Minister puts it, 'go the extra mile' and produce an online asset from his magazine to smooth the waters with new boy on the block Abdullah Zahlan.

Thank you notes seem to be becoming a thing of the past. We at American Stationery believe that it is not only proper etiquette, but appropriate to write thank you notes for certain things. Thank you notes can be formal or informal, simple or complex, but should always be heartfelt and genuine. Here are just a few of the occasions where thank you notes would be appropriate:
- Wedding Gifts
- Baby or Bridal Shower Gifts
- Gifts and Visits Received While in the Hospital
- Sympathy Letters or Flowers
- Gifts Received Through the Mail
You can use formal stationery or the preprinted thank you notes from the grocery store. The situation will help decide how formal you should be. For wedding gifts, a formal thank you note should be used, usually one that matches your wedding invitation or theme. Baby shower or bridal shower thank you notes can be informal, although you can typically get thank you notes that match the shower invitations as well. You can substitute personalized stationery instead of an actual note with "Thank You" printed on it, but we would not recommend getting too informal and using a memo sheet or notebook paper. The card should reflect the occasion and yourself. Get something that you like and it will let the people receiving it know that you thought enough of their gift to take the time to pick out a thank you note.
You should send the thank you note as soon as possible. The longest you should wait is a week in most cases. If you wait too long, it might seem to the recipient that you forgot about them and their gift. If the thank you note is being sent for gifts received while in the hospital, you should wait until you are well enough to write to send the note. With wedding presents, too, there is a forgivable exception to the one week window, as a honeymoon will typically delay the writing process by a few days or even a week. The longest you should ever take to send a thank you note is two months from the day you received the gift.
When you sit down to write the thank you note, be specific. If the person was at the event, be sure to say how much you enjoyed seeing them. If a gift was given, be sure to reference it and its intended use in the note. For example, if Aunt Mary sent you a set of sheets as a birthday present, you might want to say "Thank you so much for the floral sheet set. They'll go perfectly with the colors we've chose for the bedroom." Even if you do not like the gift and will end up returning it, you should still let the person know that you appreciated their generosity.
The thank you note should be written to whoever sent the gift. If it was your Aunt Mary and Uncle Steve, then you want to address the card to them. If the gift came from Aunt Mary, Uncle Steve and the cousins Johnny and Jenny, you would still only address the thank you note to just Aunt Mary and Uncle Steve, but you would want to make sure to mention Johnny and Jenny in the body of the note.
Most importantly, when it comes to thank you notes, be personal. No one wants to get a thank you note that sounds like it was written by a robot. It just doesn't seem genuine. If you make sure the note is personal, the recipient will know that you actually did like what they got you and that you appreciated them being there or sending the gift, etc.

There are quite a few inauthentic Constellations on eBay at the moment, but I've posted this one as it is an absolute classic!
I emailed the seller- oddstuff247 - and pointed out its inauthenticity and received this reply "I don't know much about this, I'm selling for a friend. You can send me the reference you are talking about to....." The seller has sold watches in the past and sells a range of goods including jewellry, so it may be true the he doesnt know he is selling an ansolute abomination-
another Frankenfreak in fact.
For fun, click on the link above and see if you can work out the major clues that point to its Franken heritage
.....then match them against the following:
- The movement is claimed to be a calibre 565 and no Constellation was ever powered by a 565
- To double check and make sure that the train bridge that carries the calibre number wasn't simply replaced with a 565 train bridge, check the rotor bridge and notice that Adjusted to (5) five positions and temperatures is not stamped there, but is replaced by script that denotes the watch has been adjusted to two positions.
- Also notice that 17 jewels is stamped. That's a real giveaway because calibre 565s were a 24 jewel movement. So what we have here - if indeed we have a non-certified cal 565 movement - is a ring-in rotor bridge from another movement series.
- Check the serial number against the Omega database. The serial number (in the 30 millions) dates the movement to the early 70s. Constellation Pie Pans with the case shown in the listing were not made in the 70s. In fact the last Pie Pans were housed in monocoque cases and were phased out in 1969.
- Compare the dial with the reference dials in my September 1 posting under the heading 'Which Dial is Fake'. What you'll notice is that the script is ink-stamped and patchy. The word Constellation is similar but not exactly like the real thing....and they fogot to dot the 'i'!!! Notice also the two T letters on either side of 'Swiss Made' at 6 o'clock. This denotes that both the hands and markers should have tritium luminosity - but neither the hands or markers have even a trace.
So what we have here is one of Dr Frankenwatch's blowbacks - a hideous attempt to create an authentic looking Connie from parts laying around.
The seller is no longer unaware of the problems with his listing and I think that he should alter it to reflect the truth about this awful watch - I wonder if he will? Or will he risk spoiling his 100% feedback record if a buyer twigs that s/he has bought a monster soon after the sale?
POSTSCRIPT: A correspondent tells me that oddstuff247 cancelled the listing - an honourable thing to do.

One of our favourite resorts is Chamonix. The most accessible of the Alpine resorts is a fragmented region of many ski areas, hamlets and villages.
Chamonix is a busy little town of Victorian hotels and mountain adventurers at the foot of Mont Blanc. Les Houches, Les Bossons, Les Praz, Les Tines, Montroc, Le Lavancher, Argentière, Le Buet, Le Tour, Vallorcine – are all considered to be within Chamonix. No other place does all-mountain skiing better than Chamonix. With long runs below the tree line for bad-weather skiing, and big glacier runs at high altitude, it is the mountain resort for all seasons, and all reasons. The valley itself is similarly varied, with all types of accommodation from Relais & Châteaux boutique hotels to privately owned luxury chalets.
Country Info
- Capital: Paris

I have had this piece of fabric in my stash since before I even knew it was called a stash.......it was a pretty Christmas border print that I knew would make a beautiful tablecloth but none of my tables were ever the right size for it since it was just about 45 x 48 inches.........
But I realized last week that it was the perfect size for my Mom's kitchen table! She uses a tablecloth everyday and this will be great for the holidays.
The fabric is a Christmas motif by "The Kesslers for Concord Fabrics, Inc" and depicts a lace tablecloth and lots of beautiful desserts in lovely serving dishes.... and pretty china coffee cups.....looks like an afternoon ladies tea party, complete with wrapped gifts, flowers, and christmas cards......I would love to be invited to this party, wouldn't you?
I found some red fabric with gold stars for the back, which was not quite as wide as the Kessler print so I added some gold fabric to the ends and then just followed the diagonals when I quilted it in the center and followed the scallops for quilting the edges.........(you can't really see the quilting here because of the busy print......)
This was really one of those really quick projects.........not much to do but sew three or four seams and.......ta-da.............which is how much of my sewing history had been before I got the "quilting bug".......but it really is kind of fun to do one of these "instant gratification" projects...........
Tonight, since I work the graveyard shift.....while all of you are enjoying an extra hour sleep.......(sad violin music, please).....I will be awake and working an extra hour! LOL.....this happens on my shift twice during the year......in the spring they make it up to us by letting us work an hour less......so I guess it all works out in the end............so off I go to get ready.......ta-ta for now.............

Oh, I love that tablecloth and Mama will too. I agree that it's nice to finish something quickly and get on with your life. Some of the quilts just seem to take forever. By now you've survived working that extra hour and are back at work again. Have a good week. It will be Wednesday before you know and you can start a new project. You've been so productive already.

QS Meetup Groups
Friends of QS
We recently started a program to invite QS Toolmakers to contribute directly to funding our events. We call this program Friends of QS. If you would like to participate we invite you email us to learn more.
Vanessa Sabino was curious about how well she was sleeping. By using the Sleep as Android app, she was able to track a year of sleep data. Before she was able to dig into the data she ran into a problem with the data export format and had to write her own custom data parser to create usable CSV files. Vanessa was then able to use the data to explore her question, "When do I get the most amount of deep sleep?" In this talk, presented at the Toronto QS meetup group, Vanessa explains her process and what she learned from analyzing 340 days of sleep data.
A few weeks ago the Toronto QS Meetup group hosted their 22nd show&tell meetup. Check out these great sketchnotes from Sacha Chua then hit the links below to watch videos of the meetup talks.
Mike talks about Push Strength, a strength and fitness tracking device.
Duane Hewitt gives an update on his 23&Me data and what he's started doing since he received his results.
Dmitri Gomon describes how he tracked his way to losing 9kg over four months.
Jim gave a brief overview of how and why he's tracking his Starbucks intake.
A big part of what we do here at Quantified Self is support and promote our amazing meetup groups around the world. We have a wonderful network of meetups in over 70 cities in more than 15 countries around the world. We wouldn't be able to post all the great videos and articles here on the Quantified Self website if it wasn't for the meetup organizers and attendees coming together to share and learn about self-tracking and self-experimentation in warm and open environments.
Today we just wanted to highlight a few of the most recent meetups from around the world!
We have another exciting week of meetups coming up with events in Seattle, Stockholm, Phoenix, and Singapore. If you don't have a meetup in your community and want to learn more about how to start one just let us know!
Gareth MacLeod is a developer/entrepreneur interested in making QS techniques easy to incorporate into daily life. He built an app that sends him text messages to ask about his sleep, mood, romantic encounters, tooth brushing, etc. He then looks for correlations among the different data streams, and even spent 100 hours building a correlation heat map. In the video below, Gareth talks about how to engineer the perfect day, and interesting things he has learned, like if he watches TV before bed, he feels grumpy the next day. (Filmed by the Toronto QS Show&Tell meetup group.)

Nicholas Manolakos is a programmer and avid reader who has been self-tracking for twenty years. He's recently been improving his left-right body balance, and can write proficiently with both hands now. In the video below, he talks about many of his experiments, including optimizing cognitive performance, managing anxiety, introducing complexity, dietary experiments and fasting – interestingly, one of the things he discovered is that fasting and giving blood improved his cognitive performance.

David Philips is a professor at the University of Toronto who studies surveillance. He's interested in democratizing infrastructures of surveillance and using surveillance data for things other than population control, such as creating senses of self and community. In the video below, he gives an interesting talk about what he has learned about the why and how of Quantified Self through his academic lens, followed by a great discussion. (Filmed by the Toronto QS Show&Tell meetup group.)
Sacha Chua started tracking time to find out where she was spending time and how she might change her patterns. In the video below, she explains what she learned, including how quickly her interests change, how she chooses to break down her time, and how the tracking helps her focus. Be sure to check out Sacha's blog too, where she publicly posts weekly detailed lists of things she has accomplished in the past week and her plans for the next week. (Filmed by the Toronto QS Show&Tell meetup group.)
Eric Boyd, a long-time QS member and now part of the Toronto QS Show&Tell meetup group, has a new project. It's called HeartSpark, and it's a heart-shaped pendant which flashes little LED lights in time with your heart beat. HeartSpark and Eric (video below) were featured on Engadget today – congrats!
