Dr. Smith became an X-Ray tech, a Nuclear Medicine tech and finally a Doctor! He learned, the hard way, how important it is to make the correct career choice the first time! He wanted to help other people to pick their last career the first time and therefore save a lot of time, money and energy so he wrote this book and you can have it for FREE!
When you're a child, if you can select the perfect career for you the first time, it will make it easier to study because you can focus on just one goal.
When you're an adult, each day you delay finding the career that is perfect for you is costing you money and pleasure and when the kids start coming, it will be a lot more difficult to change your career.
When you ask your child, "What will you do after high school?", if they say "I don't know", they need to read this book!
Grandpa and his "mature" friends will give high school students hundreds of "tips" to make the "rocky roads" of life a little "smoother".
Never make the same mistake twice and let Grandpa and his friends make it for you the first time!
Older people often say, "Wouldn't it be nice to know then what I know now?" Well, it's too late for them but not for you! This book contains many of the "tips" it took them years to "learn the hard way".
This book compares Jesus to professional athletes, rock musicians, Albert Einstein, Helen Keller, Superman, professional wrestlers, surgeons, scientists and many others and it tells your little ones how they "stack up" to each other. Hint: It's not even close!
The booklet also contains "The Letter of Determination".
This book contains every "Oppi and Pessi" cartoon plus inspirational words for many of them.
The booklet also contains "The Letter of Determination".
This book is an attempt to help young children to see the "Glass Half-Full" a little more often during their lifetimes. Your children will reflect back on the words of "Oppi" and "Pessi" when they encounter a situation similar to the one, in the cartoon, during their lifetime.
Your young children can color the pictures now and then learn, from their own artwork, the inspirational messages of "Oppi" the optimist and "Pessi" the pessimist as they get older!
The greatest gift that anyone can give to another person is a Great Attitude because they will use that gift every second of the rest of their life! Since young people are very "impressionable", by exposing them to "positive thinking" when they are young, we have a very good chance of giving them a much better attitude for the rest of their life.
This book was written by Dr. Richard Smith after consulting with doctors from nine different specialties. (GENERAL PRACTICE, NEUROLOGY, OB-GYN, ENT, SPORTS MEDICINE, OPTOMETRY, CHIROPRACTY, DENTISTRY, PSYCHOLOGY) and also PHARMACISTS, DIETITIONS and NURSES. He also collected information from several headache websites and headache clinics.
Dr. Smith recorded every one of the possible reasons why they felt a patient could be having headaches. This book may help you to avoid hours in waiting rooms and expensive office visits and hospital procedures!
This book will either stop your headaches or it will refer you to the proper professional who can treat them for you.
Please read it before you spend hundreds of dollars on expensive CAT scans and doctor's visits. Your doctor won't ask you 169 questions and tell you everything a "headache clinic" will but this book will.
This book is called The Diet Bible because it tells the TRUTH! It's guaranteed to work because it doesn't tell you lies to sell you something.
The Diet Bible addresses the real reason why people fail to lose their unwanted pounds. We have all heard about Diet and Exercise but the third, and most important, factor is the reason why people's diets fail - the HUMAN FACTOR.
People don't use their new equipment for the same reason they never used their last equipment, because they never "Trained their Brain".
You can lose your unwanted pounds with any equipment or none at all. The ads want you to believe you can use their equipment and it will be easy but that's not true! If that were true, everyone would use the one exercise equipment that works.
Some people lose weight with diets, some with equipment, some with jumping-jacks so which way works? They ALL do. You just have to do them - forever – and you can't do that without "training your brain".
When you "Train your Brain, you learn the Rules of Success: "Long term" thinking, Hard work, Responsibility, Focus, Confidence, Denial, Motivation, Human limits, Logic, Leaving your "Comfort Zone", Attitude, Pride, No Excuses and many more.
The Diet Bible focuses on weight loss but the same Rules of Success apply to any goal that you want to achieve! You don't get what you WISH for, you get what you WORK for!
Control your Brain and you'll control your Weight and your Life!
Dr. Richard Smith wrote this book. He's not an expert at weight loss, he just learned that you can succeed at anything if you use your brain. You can read about him by clicking on the link at the top of this website. That explains that he graduated in the lower-half of his high school class but he realized that he could do more if he used his brain and eventually he became a doctor!
This small book will give you "tips" on building a new house and also on buying a used house.
Since a house is such an expensive investment, one tip may save you a LOT of money!

Religious Calendar
Oppi is trying to use humor to illustrate that many people don't feel like it is necessary for them to attend church every week. When we go to church, we should look at the crucifix, in the front of the church. It shows us what Jesus did for us. He allowed mortal men to nail him to a cross!
One second of what Jesus went through on that cross is more than all of the inconveniences we go through by going to church during our entire lifetime. If you are healthy and living in America and able to have enough food to eat and clean water to drink, you have more than enough reasons to attend church - every week - and say "Thanks" to Jesus!
Children's Motivational # 1 Calendar
If you want to have a great job, a fun lifestyle and live in a beautiful home someday, you have to make it happen! Nobody else is going to say, "OK, now it the time to start saving money for college and picking the career that is perfect for you etc."
You have to take control of every aspect of your life For example, you have to decide if you will you smoke, drink and drive, allow yourself to get fat or pregnant, eat healthy, enter college, work five or more days/week, live in Florida or Canada, go after a job that makes $10,000 or $100,000 per year, save for your retirement etc? If you don't make the correct decisions, your life won't be as good as it could be. You have to make those decisions because NOBODY ELSE will make them for you! Don't be like a "Leaf in the wind" and just end up where the wind blows you…
Patriotic Calendar
There is an expression, "Let sleeping dogs lie". The world found out what that expression meant when Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1942 and again when the World Trade Center and The Pentagon were attacked on "9/11". Other countries and terrorists have made the mistake of thinking that, because the United States doesn't act like a bully, it isn't the most powerful nation in the world.
WARNING TO THE WORLD: If you ever think about attacking The United States of America, remember those words: "Let sleeping dogs lie" because America is The BIGGEST DOG there is!
General #1 Calendar
Most people grow up around other people who have the same color of the skin as they do. When they see someone, whose skin color is different from theirs, it is easy to think, "Since they don't look the same as me, they must be different from me".
It is human nature to be competitive so people often assume that people, who have a different colored skin than they do, are not as good as they are. The truth is, God made all of us and we are all the same to Him. We all have different heights, eye colors, personalities and skin colors. Once we are smart enough to realize this, the number of friends that we can have will multiply greatly!
People, who judge others simply by the color of their skin, are very superficial. That means that they don't look deep enough, below the pigment of the skin, to see what that person is really like. There are people of all races who are world class doctors, scientists, priests or ministers or athletes etc. so people, who let the color of a person's skin determine how they feel about someone, are telling the world that they are not using the brain that God gave them!
Weight Loss Calendar
One of the most common problems that Americans suffer from is that we live in a country where we have plenty to eat and we often eat more than we should. People buy expensive exercise equipment and books and they join exercise gyms and they wonder why they can't lose their excess pounds.
It is because they don't use that exercise equipment or do what those books say or go to those gyms. They just want it to happen but you have to make it happen! Those people usually sit more than they should and eat foods that they shouldn't and just hope that their excess pounds will disappear but there is no magic to it – only hard work!

diesel is more spendy than gas.. but that diesel is a lil better engine than an aluminum whizzbang lawnmower job.
I sure wouldn't buy another engine... just get the pump.. the $ you save on the engine will offset the fuel costs.
If I was doing this as a business, i'd get a standalone pump with engine..
Just leave the Briggs engine to rot somewhere else.
i know a guy that runs a splitter off an N with a large piston cyl for extra force.. but it takes forever to stroke.. but it DOES split wood. :) and yes.. he is retired.. :)

If you are in need of some tips for finding quality SEO content writing services, you've definitely come to the right place! SEO, which is the abbreviated form of Search Engine Optimization, is defined as the process through which a website or blog can be more readily visible on a typical search engine.
Whenever someone types a particular word or phrase into their search engine (ex. most reliable cars of the year, top American laptop models, Italian restaurants, etc.) that is relevant to the content of your site, you want your site to appear as close to the top of the search engine as possible, and on the first page at the very least, to increase the chances of it being visited.
The writers of an SEO service can enhance your site's content by incorporating popular keywords and relevant links, rewriting existing content to make it higher quality, and by making your site mobile friendly (an absolute must).
That being said, you can't just go out and hire the services of any content writing service out there either. But if you can keep the following tips in mind closely, your chances of finding an SEO friendly content writing service will increase dramatically.
Know Exactly What You Want
First and foremost, you need to know exactly what you want. Are you looking to have your website enhanced with added keywords, to put together a newsletter, to create video scripts, to optimize a PPC landing page, to have an e-book written, or what?
Some SEO companies have a forte in one thing but might not in another. In other words, an SEO service that specializes in high quality e-book or article writing might not be your best bet if you are looking to create something entirely different like video scripts, and vice versa.
Look Beyond The Website
Many people looking for a quality SEO writing service will think that if the website itself looks good, that must mean the writing service is great to work with too. Sometimes, this is the case…but not always.
You have to look beyond how nice looking and attractive the service's website is. Look for customer reviews online, the level of experience the writers at the site have, and perhaps most importantly, for samples of their writing.
No matter how eye-catching the actual design of the site is, if the service offers no variety of samples for you to look at or if the samples they do have are not high quality in your opinion, it's best to move on to the next service. Speaking of samples…
Know What to Look For in Samples
The only samples you should have to ask for at an SEO writing service are the ones you want in addition to what's already posted on the site, and they should have a variety posted so that you shouldn't have to ask for any more in the first place!
That being said, the samples they do provide must be very well written to the point that grammar and/or spelling errors are non-existent, that there are absolutely no formatting inconsistencies, and that the sentence structure flows.
Not only must the content be well written, it must be compelling. If your attention has not been captured within at least the first paragraph, something is wrong. Compelling content makes you feel involved with the topic even if it's not something you would typically find much interest in.
Don't Exclude Smaller Services by Default
Just because an SEO company makes, or claims to make, millions of dollars in profits a year due to the dozens if not hundreds of employees they have working for them, doesn't mean that you should exclude the smaller services by default.
If an SEO company is that successful, as many are, then it goes to show that they have built their reputation and standing for a reason. Nonetheless, there are also companies that are only comprised of one or two working individuals and produce some of the highest quality content you'll find on the net.
Will Rank Count?
Say you type in "SEO content writing service" into your search engine and you click on the first three that pop up. Does this mean that these three services know what they are doing without question?
Absolutely not.
Some of the oldest SEO firms will have an older domain that's been used for years, and thus appear lower on the page. Examine all your options before scratching ones off the list.
Don't Avoid Consultations
Finally, once you've narrowed your list of SEO services down, contact them either through phone or e-mail to schedule a qualification so you can figure out what you want. A majority of SEO services will offer a free consultation since they want to make a favorable impression up front and earn your business.
The consultation is your chance to get a feel for the service, to find out about the service's qualifications, and most importantly, to discover if the service can provide you with what you need.
Consult with two or three SEO services before making your final choice, but don't inform any of them of the other services you're also consulting with. Remember, you might end up working with the service for years to come and the quality of your content is at stake, so it's a far more important decision to make than you might first realize.
If you are in need of some tips for finding quality SEO content writing services, the handful of tips you have learned in this article should help you find what you are looking for. Good luck!

A time to relax, turn down heavy tunes of doom, forget about preachers of weed and damnation for a while. Today we'll talk about one of most glorious advances of British cosmic program – here's psychedelic / space / progressive project Sendelica and it's silver-bearded navigator Peter Bingham (guitar, electronics). The band has a lot of releases with strange names and the last one is "The Kaleidoscopic Kat And It's Autoscopic Ego". Some of you regular readers may ask: What the hell does this mean? Oh, it is a very good question indeed and maybe I'll ask about it our guest...
Hello sir Peter! Is your world shining bright and spinning round smooth enough?
Kaleidoscopicaly so :)
Sendelica released full-length album "The Satori In Elegance Of The Majestic Stonegazer" in 2012, what did you do during this period?
Well it was a great 12 month period after this CD release, it brought us to the attention of the Italian label Vincebus Eruptum, which led on to them releasing this album on LP in black and glorious purple vinyl. It quickly sold out and the start of a good relationship with a new label.
I'm glad to hear it Peter! And even with more pleasure I would like to hear something new about Sendelica road adventures! I remember how successfully you did that brief tour in snow-covered
did you visit other exotic countries since then? Russia
Early in 2012 we did an
Eastern Europe tour. We flew to Finland and did a great opening show in Helsinki before driving through, and doing some great
shows, in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia
before coming through to
for half a dozen shows. A quite grueling tour, was very cold and snowbound, but
we had some great shows…… this was the last time Glenda toured with us, due to
work commitments, so lots of cool memories. The tour became known as the Lits,
Lats, Euros and Rubles tour…. Lol… I had pockets full of strange money. Russia
This year we have had some big line up changes with Jim Barber on bass and Jack Jackson on drums, so we concentrated on finishing the new album and doing some
gigs for a
change. Already done one great festival show this year as a six piece band (featuring
Lord Sealand on Theremin) with dancers at Kozfest. UK
And right now looking forward to upcoming shows with Vibravoid, The Luck Of Eden Hall and the Pretty Things.
It's not a secret anymore – Sendelica have new release "The Kaleidoscopic Kat And It's Autoscopic Ego"; we did an interview or two before that but (with all my respect) I never asked about your albums' title meanings. So let us clarify only one tiny detail – who is your dealer and where does he find such stunning weed?!
PMSL!! LOL….. brilliant question Alexs. Well my album titles and song titles have often been a topic of conversation…. I can honestly say that I have no idea where these titles come from….. they just seem to slowly form in my mind as we are working on the album tracks…… quite spooky in some ways, but just seems perfectly natural. The songs often have working titles right up to the end of the recordings, then suddenly their meaning becomes crystal clear, to me, and all is reveled in the eventual song title…..
If I do not err, then there were three artists who did an art-work for "The Kaleidoscopic Kat And It's Autoscopic Ego", did Morvenna, Andreas and Jack really work together? And how did you find them?
I discovered Andreas's (from Sweden) artwork on an art web site just after I had come up with the albums title, he works with manipulating photographic images and had this great cat picture that had been fractulated. I sent him a message but sadly did not hear back from him. In the meantime I approached a painter called Morvenna Richards (from England), who had done a gig poster for Sendelica a few years ago, and we had a long chat about her doing a psychedelic painting for the album sleeve. We looked through some 60's / 70's artbooks and she came up with this great idea for the cover. Then just as we were putting the finishing touches to the album artwork Andreas got in touch saying he would love us to use his work. So Jack (graphic designer and Sendelica drummer) combined the two pieces of art into the finished artwork. Viola…. Welsh, English and Swedish magic!!
It's obvious that such fantastic art-works visualize your sound-scapes perfectly, didn't you ever think about any classy gift edition of your albums? With more pictures or maybe with Haribo candies as bonus?
Yes indeed!! We released a very limited edition box set for the new album comprising of the new album on cd, dvd of the Sendelica movie 'The Sendelica Psychedlic Drive In Movie', a mini kaleidodscope, signed poster, cd of outtakes from the album, piece of my psychedelic smiley face underpants (as worn on stage at Kozfest!!), haribo spacemix sweets and other goodies in a numbered jewelers box!!

I think that you and Colin Consterdine keep your intensions crystal clear considering Sendelica and it's musical conception, I understand it well at some level of subconscious but I would like to ask you to describe it with some earthly words, will you?
Mind expanding and joyous, we always like to take the listener on a musical journey….. no genre boundaries… we dip into any musical bag we want but always give it a little Sendelica twist.
Peter, did you ever analyze how Sendelica evolve through years? Which phase did you reach with new record and how does this evolution show itself?
Yes, of course… if you remain closeted down one path then it gets boring for both yourself as an artist and also for the fans, the listeners. We have been very lucky in that, right from the start, we have had a fan base that seems to embrace our musical eccentricities. I guess they love that they are never quite sure what the next Sendelica album will sound like… which is a great thing for us….. we have never felt pressure to do the same type of album. So yes it is forever evolving and unfolding….. I think that this is particularly noticeable in this new album which on many levels is probably the most complex album we have recorded to date. We were recording and mixing this opus for over a year, much longer than our previous sessions, and this was the intention right from the start…. to produce a much more 'focused' album. There is a lot of light and shade in this work…. sometimes you have to work hard to strip things down to build them up again. I love the feeling of 'space' that we have made in this album, and a certain etheralness underlying all the tracks….. everything flows with a passion and a purpose. Several people have already mentioned that they can hear PIL & Killing Joke influences on tracks like 'Clever Meat' and there is certainly a little nod to early Pink Floyd on 'Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Buddha'. I think this is a very 'expanded' Sendelica set..... and we are very, very proud of it......
Did you ever think of playing more simple heavy stuff? Or sabbathian riffs don't even warm your cosmic soul, don't they? And hey – how do you like modern musical tendencies – both underground and pop?
I was/am a huge fan of Sabbath, but I have never had a desire to be them!! Or to play like them…. It is just another influence you take in that moulds a little of your artistic vision. There has always tended to be at least one heavy rifer on each of our albums and their is one on Kaleidoscopic Kat in the form of Tinsel Tears, an old track that got a reworking on this album. I listen to lots of music both old and new all the time….. I think there is always great stuff out there to listen too… you just have to look for it….. at the moment I am listening to a lot of Michael Rother, Neu, Daughter, Sigur Ros and The XX……..
Peter, you released albums pretty often, and I remember that you have DVD and Cdr as well, don't you want to have vinyl edition of some Sendelica work? Band's conception, art-works and music of course are ideal for that honored format.
Well we have had quite a lot of vinyl out over the years on fruits de mer label….Venus in Furs 7" vinyl single and tracks on 'Keep Of The Grass', 'Roqueting Thru Space' and more recently one side of the split LP 'Strangefishone'. BUT, yes I know what you mean….. I always wanted our own albums out on vinyl… to see the artwork in full glory…. with posters and inserts….. the whole tactile thing…. So it was great to link up with the Italian vinyl label Vincebus Eruptum and see our last album out on glorious vinyl.
They will also be releasing Kaleoidoscopic Kat on vinyl in September.
I remember that you record a good jam-session with The Re-Stoned in
which was recorded and released as "Re-Session", do you keep in touch with your
Russian friends and do you plan a kind of such collaboration in future? Moscow
Well sadly this turned into a very disappointing project for us. When we were last in Moscow Ilya suggested that two members of Sendelica, Glenda and I, would go into the studio with two members of Re-Stoned, Ilya and Vasily, to record some jams with idea of releasing it under the name Re-Send. We all went into the studio with no songs and simply jammed and riffed of each other, very creative day….. we came out of that session with some great material. Sadly Ilya did not think it was very good and did not want to go ahead with the project but suggested that both bands might tinker with a track or two for their own bands releases. We were disappointed and then quite amazed when much of the 'tinkered' session surfaced first as a digital download, then a CD release on RAIG and then a vinyl album on Nassoni… all under the name of RE-STONED!! I assume all the jelly babies and haribo starmixes have gone to a certain individual!! So, lesson learnt…. Beware of musicians offering gifts!!
On a much happier note, YES, I keep strong ties with many people we met in Russia, including yourself…. along with many fans we met at gigs and also a couple of the guys out of Sound Of Ground (a great Moscow band) and of course Lord Kamille (Grand Astoria) has become a great friend and I have played guitar on a couple of his projects…. I am so pleased for the success that he is finding now as he is not only a very talented musician but a great guy who has worked so hard at his craft.
This question may sound sudden for this interview, but I was thinking about
today and maybe you
can help me to puzzle out that. Do you feel comfortable living in your country?
I watch news at shit-TV sometimes, read same news at shit-newsblogs too, it
seems that Old Good England is just like very old lady who can't do anything
but grouch and dream about glorious past. Great Britain
To be honest Aleksey, I think you are right…. but the whole world is going down the fucking plug hole. Does invading countries make 'super powers' feel superior??….. certainly gives them more oil… Our own country is going to the dogs as the conservatives wreak havoc once again on our nation, the rich get richer and the poor get more fucked by the day. In
you have punk band members in prison as your tip of the iceberg of
conservatism…… in the
we still have the religious right trying to get Darwinism banned from schools,
evolution never happened kids!! In our
crazy demand for more fuels we are fracking our countrysides at the peril of
causing earthquakes… lol…. Don't get me started… the whole planet has gone to
the dogs….. roll on the next meteorite!! USA
Yes, you're totally right and I've got your point though I have to explain that Pussy Riot hardly can be named as "punk band" 'cause they barely could play any instruments. They thought they were "artistic persons" but I guess that not too many people abroad know about their glorious performances – for example when few naked girls (one of them was pregnant) and their partners do sex in museum before people including children. So let us finish this theme with following question - do you see a border between art and senseless kitsch?
I think it often has a very grey area… what is art??, what is punk?? I think in psychedelic music from the sixties to now there has been a lot of theatrics gone hand in hand with the music… from hawkwinds naked dancer Stacia, Arthur Browns fire theatricals, prog rock costume drama to modern day Goats stage outfits….. so when does it become senseless kitsch?? I guess that is in the eyes of the beholder to decide…. We all love different bands and get off on different things…. Lol… nothing stranger than people!!
Peter how do you keep on holding that positive cosmic waves into Sendelica songs when a whole mortal world as it seems confidently come down? What is a source of that bright psychedelic space shining which penetrate your music and once again was expressed through "The Kaleidoscopic Kat And It's Autoscopic Ego" album?
I just love playing and I am surrounded, and get to interact, with some amazing musicians. I try to keep the music exciting for me, try to be challenged to do new things with my guitar playing and writing… if you have joy in what you are doing I think other people will get off on what you are trying to do…. It's a positive circle…. Everyone feeding off each other in a good way…. Be it the listener or the musician…… one cannot live without the other…..
Let us finish the interview onto this statement! Good luck my cosmic comrade! And let Sendelica prevail! Peter would you like to say something else?

One of the things I stress when telling tales, is that one of the best ways to be 100% present with your own kids is to tell them stories. They do not have to be folk tales, fairy stories, myths or legends, they can be stories about yourself, about Mum, Gran, Grandpa, Auntie Joan, your best friend, Gary Veale, who was really good at getting you into trouble! But what I am really saying is 'Turn off your blooming device and be present with your children.'
When I was a full time stay-at-home dad, which to some degree I still am, I found that when the kids were agitated and I became agitated, was when I was not present with them. I would be trying to work and would get frustrated, but if I stopped and spent time with them, gave them all my attention, forgot about what was needed to be done in the other room, things would get better. I could ask to go and do some work. It was like time sharing! We would do things together for a while and I am 100% there, then I have to go and work and be 100% there in my office!
Sitting down and telling tales is a great way to be present. You cannot help but be present. It is one-on-one time. Don't answer the phone, don't look to see who sent you a text, BE with the kids. If you think you can't tell tales (but you can!), then draw with them, play Lego's with them, write stories together, build something out of cardboard boxes, cook together. Walks can present opportunities for story, especially woods, streams, rocky places where things can hide and live extraordinary lives. There are spirits in the rocks, fairies in the streams, goblins in the trees throwing nuts at you!
|Dad and me on the Gower
One thing I like to do is draw. Sometimes we still fold a piece of paper and each of us draws part of a body from top to bottom. When you unfold the paper you have a creature of some sort, or a weird looking person! Sometimes it is fun to make up a story about the creation you have just made. Make two and then both can have adventures. Make a third who the first two might meet. What do they do, where do they go? Suddenly stories appear from play. Then maybe at bedtime, you can expand on the story a little and leave a cliff-hanger for the next day or evening. Make up stories about strange (to the kids) words: make up what they don't mean with an outlandish tale!
It's not just kids though, it is your partner too. Be present. Give time, 100% focus to each other. The same with other family members near and distant. Maybe something wonderful will come out of it.
Happy New Year!

Silverlake Ramen
Silverlake, Los Angeles
My coworkers and I wanted to grab dinner after work one night and decided to try out Silverlake Ramen, which we've heard such great things about! I absolutely love ramen and can pretty much eat it everyday so I was more than happy to try this one out. I got the spicy tonkotsu ramen with pork and it was absolutely PERFECT. The thing that was different about it was that the pork was crispy. Normally, the strips of pork belly in ramen are tender and soft, but this was different in the best way possible! I LOVE the crispy pork in ramen so much now!
We also tried their pork buns which was super yummy too! But that ramen.....soooo good!
Downtown Los Angeles
This is my second time here and it's probably not going to be my last. The first time I went, I only took a couple bites of what my boyfriend got but knew I had to come back for more. So this time, I ordered the Cachetada, which is almost like a tostada with your choice of meat and it comes with an aioli on it too. I saw pictures of people getting it with an overeasy egg on it and knew I had to as well! Great choice!
We also got the Vampiro quesadilla, which has a garlic sauce in it for all of you garlic lovers like me! Super delicious! Everything here is really good and I definitely recommend a visit here if you haven't tried it yet!

I'll Be the First to Admit It: I'm Not the Thinnest Person Out There…
I'll also never be a supermodel or walk the fashion runways…and I'm fine with that! I'm just a regular person with less than average genetics. In fact, I can get very fat very easily, and I battled with my weight for years. I was born with the kind of genes that make you store fat instead of burning it off, but I've actually learned to make healthy eating and fitness FUN. As you can see here, I stay lean, toned, and in great shape year round despite having those "fat-storing genes."

Good day me luvvies! Mrs God has sprinkled this little patch of Ireland with icing sugar. Very pretty but oh so cold this morning. Thermals today. Long-johns, Leggings and T-shirt (sounds like a legal team for the textiles industry). Only joking. No leggings. Ner. No long-johns but I'm beginning to see the appeal of those things…. Age must be creeping up on me. I'm starting to think of the comfort factor in everything I buy. Warm, soft, cosy, comfy… I'll be catching the menopause next.
Over Christmas I used up my bag of lavender in the various sachets and stuffies I made. I tried blending Rosemary with Lavender oil but the resultant smell was a bit boys' bedroom, locker room nasty. So I bought a kilo of dried lavender from Amazon! The fragrance is gorgeous and because there's so much of it, all-pervasive. I float around in a beatific state of calm and serenity. Ahhhh. The Little Book of Calm can go in the bin.
Lavender House
So with the house filled with the smell of lavender, a little house-shaped lavender sachet was definitely on the cards. It's appliqued with Bondaweb and rough-edged free-motion stitchery. I make the templates (such as they are, simplicity isn't the word) in Illustrator. I print them onto 300 gsm card, cut them out and keep the templates in plastic wallets in an A4 lever-arch folder. Well, I do now. I used to lose them all over the place but now am organised and efficient. Well, I'm getting there.
Monkey Man
I even finished Sock Monkey Man! Yay. Here he is, perched on the wall unit in the sewing room. The room of his creation – from Frankensock to Monkey Man. Only took 5 years – then some – to finish him. It doesn't do to rush. His name is Darwin.
Everton Mint Scrummies
Also got these via Amazon. Fat Everton Mint purse clasp frames. I have a bunch of leather swatches that *should* make a decent purse (to the US readers, a purse in Ireland is a little wallet where we keep coins. No notes – we're too poor thanks to bank bail outs and austerity measures for denominations bigger than a euro so just coins). Aren't they fab?
Mice Stuffies
And what about these meeces? These are stuffed with lavender to scent my underwear drawers and keep me smelling ever sweet. They are a very simple pattern and make up quickly with little bits of fabric. Perfect scrap busters. And the template for them is in my folder. That halo of mine getting tight again.
Cute, eh?
Now, the spool is a clue to my next post. I bought another manky, skanky wall unit. Dirty with old bits of cobweb on the bottom but that's just me. The unit needed cleaning with sugar soap and I gave it a steaming and a good sanding down as well. Solid pine. Possibly a vinyl record and tape display thingy – I dunno but it's had a total makeover involving a couple of fat, painted wooden beads, wallpaper, hardboard backing, cabinet paint and a length of dowelling. The spool is covered in the same wall paper used on the unit…. I'm totally in love with it and even my manny, who was initially against buying it, got involved with his wood tip drill head and dowelling insertion. It cost just €5 so if it had turned out totally w*** it wouldn't have been a big deal but it turned out better than I ever expected. You'll see it soon – it's just drying off and will be photo-ready by tomorrow.
Chitty Chat
For one reason or another, I was reminded of a neighbour we used to have. She apparently had sonic hearing ability that would make bats look like a box of frogs in bumper cars. She told me once that the lady we bought the house from had a 'heavy foot' and she could hear her going up the stairs on that said heavy foot. And the house was solidly built – VERY. Anyway, just the one heavy foot, apparently. She was a religious woman so maybe her bible had a typo and read 'Faith, Hop & Charity' . The greatest of all being 'Hop' so maybe she took it to heart hence heavy 'foot' and not 'feet'.
I used to wonder that if one foot was heavy, was the other one extra light? Helium -filled? Did she ever find herself hanging upside down by her helium heel with her frock draped down over her head like a lampshade and her home-made mattress protector incontinence pants in full view – as I'm sure that is exactly the sort of under garmentry the thrifty lady would have made for herself.
You see, she believed in being frugal. Government-imposed austerity measures would have given her hedonistic luxury levels of indulgence and fine living. She could have splashed out on 1.49 dust sheets from Dealz and really done the place up.
When we moved in, we were surprised to find an absolute surfeit of mattress protectors that had served their country well but still been re-deployed for other duties. Curtain black outs, thermal door insulators, rolled up as draught excluders extraordinaire, shelf covers, dust covers and plastic sheeting to stop garden weeds growing. A hundred and one uses, at least.
Why did she have so many? That, I cannot answer. It is an Unsolved Mystery (there's a programme on TV called 'Unsolved Mysteries'. Wouldn't be mysteries if they were solved, would they?
And, being very practical, they were quickly repaired with bicycle puncture repair kits – as evidenced by the obvious patchworking with duct tape, sellotape and other sticky-backed plastic strips. Us crafty types would go for Washi or vinyl cut with our fabulous cutting machines if we had such a bent.
Am I being cruel? I dunno. The neighbour told us she was absolutely wedged – had loads of money in banks, owned properties and had her nephew do her books and account balancing every year. But ate year-old soup from her freezer (what's wrong with that?!) – to her mind, further evidence of the neighbour's miserliness. Probably how she had so much money in the first place.
Well, with her one light foot and adherence to the letter of her Seventh Day Adventist Hopping religion, may her way to heaven be easy and the pearly gates be open wide to welcome her in. May she be the richest person in the graveyard and may her wordly goods be of great benefit to the living. As they say, every shroud has a silver lining.
Now, getting up this morning, the fitted sheet came away from the corner of the mattress and rolled towards me. This normally happens after a week of the bed being changed and is obviously nature's way of telling me it's time to strip the bed again. So duty calls and housework beckons. May joy be unbounded and the pleasure never end.
I laughed to see that on a hook in my kitchen I have three pairs of scissors, black handled, blue handled and chrome (hair) scissors. Exactly as in the rhyme from the League Of Gentlemen's Val and Harvey:
Black for paper,
Chrome for string,
The blue ones from this hook do swing.
We keep them clean, don't be mistaken,
For kitchen jobs like trimming bacon.
Then there's the towels.
White for hands,
Brown for feet,
Green for torso, thighs and seat.
And in the cupboard beneath the stair
You'll find the red for pubic hair.
I don't have these, btw!
Will be posting the makeover of the wall unit in the next few days so speak to you then. Have fun.

Credit Card Debt: Pay More than the Minimum
Those with high levels of credit card debt should pay off more than the minimum payments so they can focus on becoming debt free as quickly as possible.
Lisa Bachelor, consumer affairs correspondent at the Observer newspaper, advises consumers with credit card debt to focus on paying this debt off as credit card lenders seem to be upping interest rates. She sites Capital One as an example who are increasing interest rates on their existing customers' credit card debt by up to 7% next month.
Bachelor writes "It is all too easy with a credit card to make no more than the minimum payment each month. Yet with mortgage rates becoming cheaper for lots of borrowers, a credit card or loan is likely to be your most expensive debt. Paying it off early will not only save you sleepless nights worrying about your debt, it will also save you a lot of money."

Buying Antiques AbroadAuthor: Valerie Van Tassel
(Article orginally published December 1960)
ALMOST every tourist is actually a collector. He may collect facts and impressions, gifts or souvenirs, maps or postcards, friends or acquaintances, movies or snapshots of the places and people he sees. He may be even a collector of antiques. The person who sets out to buy antiques abroad must have a different approach from the other tourists. It takes some knowledge of what is available and where to look for it. There is also the language barrier and money problem in foreign countries-even in England one has to learn something about their words and their coinage. However, one can locate antiques anywhere in western Europe. You may not find much, especially if you are a tourist-collector.
With modern travelers, the question of time is one of the major problems. Most tourists in this air age have a limited number of days or weeks in which they are trying to see as many places as possible. That is usually the object of their trips, but the result is too often a day-by-day rush from place to place. Last year, I found very little to buy in eastern Europe. This year, I found very little in South and East Africa. However, it is a great satisfaction to bring back a few treasures-even if they are not of great value. Who knows you may discover something very choice.
Tourists in America, England and west European countries, where there are a great many English-speaking peoples, do not find shopping difficult. Also, there are many antiques in these places. London and Paris are well known centers for collectors. There you will find articles of the periods that are most likely to be of interest to you. Possibly you'll discover what you have been searching for. In other cities, such as Munich and Vienna there are many shops where antiquers can buy or browse. In the former city, I found some lovely Meissen figurines for my collection.
The situation is different as you travel eastward. In the Middle East you will find little open-front shops or large open markets. In these fascinating bazaars, bargaining is a recreation as well as a business. It is really too bad to be in a hurry-you pay too much and you spoil the shopkeeper's fun. There is also a difference in the type of articles you will find. The Middle and Far East have a long history, and there are objects of great age there, but the casual tourist is not apt to discover much that is very old. Perhaps, he won't find anything that can be called a true antique. Nevertheless, there are some items available, especially nineteenth century brasses which are worth taking for either a collection or a decoration in your home.
This past spring my trip to South America and Africa covered about thirty thousand miles, but we were unable to spend any length of time in any one city. Primarily, I was the usual sight seeing tourist taking a cruise with my husband. However, I did try here and there to do some antiquing and talk to people about the availableness of antiques in their region. In the cities along the coast of South America, I looked for Spanish and Portuguese articles. In central South Africa, I found mostly English and French pieces with some old Dutch items. Along Africa's eastern coast, in the exotic cities of Durban and Zanzibar, I found ivories and teakwood from China and India. In the bazaars of Cairo I picked up copper and brass that is seventy-five to a hundred years old.
The little candelabra (pictured), bought in Montevideo, illustrates what can be accomplished without benefit of a common language. So far, everywhere I've been, arabic numerals have proved to be a universal sign language. One must know the local exchange rate. Then by writing numbers on a paper, we arrive at a price. Of course, we must always be the judge of the item's worth-its value to us.
In all the larger cities, you can find valuable articles if you have the time to search for them. For example, in South Africa there are still pieces of old Dutch craftsmanship to be found. You might locate some Cape silver, lovely ebony and satinwood furniture or the early kitchen utensils made of teakwood and brass. Eighteenth century Japanese Imari brought there by the early traders can be found sometimes.
Don't forget, you can send your treasures home by cargo ships. Small or large items can be shipped this way much cheaper than by air. Of course, if you are one of those exceptional air travelers who is under the weight limit, you can carry your smaller purchases with you. The Meissen ware figurines I bought in Munich a few years ago arrived weeks later (by boat) in perfect condition. A large silver cabinet I ordered last May in Lisbon, Portugal, has just come. Agree on a price for both article and shipment with the shop owner. In western Europe, a personal check is acceptable in every sizable city. Be sure to obtain a bill for customs declaration purposes. Don't forget you must declare your purchase if it is not older than 1830. If your treasures are older than 1830, you may bring them into the United States duty free. Rugs and musical instruments come under a different classification (they must be still older), and it is better to check with the customs agent about them.
Cruise ships are wonderful receptacles for shoppers. You can bring in an almost unlimited amount, but then, you must remember there is the problem of transportation from the port city to the home city. However, it is all part of the fun of shopping abroad where you can buy either modern items or antiques.
The world is growing smaller with each new invention in the airplane field, and even the ships are faster than some years ago. Thousands who never dreamed of collecting antiques in Europe have been doing just that. If you didn't accomplish all you hope to on your last trip, you may next time. Soon you will be flying around the world as easily as you now fly to Europe. To avail yourself of every opportunity to shop, learn as much as possible what to expect before you leave home. May you be lucky in your search.

|Crash location
Reported location is a long distance from the NTSB's reported nearest city. This often means that the location has a typo, or is incorrect.
|Nearest city
|Mosca, CO
26.4 miles away
|Tail number
|Accident date
|03 Aug 2006
|Aircraft type
|Piper PA-24-180
|Additional details:
On August 3, 2006, approximately 0925 mountain daylight time, a Piper PA-24-180 Comanche, N5416P, piloted by a private pilot, was destroyed when it collided with mountainous terrain during descent about 16 miles northwest of Mosca, Colorado, near the Great Sand Dunes National Monument. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The cross-country flight was being conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. A visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan had been filed but had not been activated. The pilot was fatally injured. The personal flight originated at Pueblo, Colorado, at 0837, and was en route to Alamosa, Colorado.
The pilot was the president of Pueblo Community College. According to the college, he was flying to Alamosa to have some work done on his radios. From there, he planned to fly to Durango, Colorado, and then drive to Cortez, Colorado, to attend the opening of a new college office.
At 0710, the pilot contacted the Denver Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) and filed a VFR flight plan. According to a statement from the AFSS quality assurance specialist, most of the pilot's dialogue was unreadable due to equipment problems. Her summary report and a transcript of the weather briefing indicated the pilot was told, "VFR flight [is] not recommended due to an AIRMET (Airmen Meteorology Information) for occasional IFR (instrument flight rules) conditions until 1800Z (1200 MDT)." Another current AIRMET forecast mountain obscuration through 1300 MDT. At the time of the weather briefing, current weather conditions had not been loaded into [computer] system, so the briefer gave the pilot the previous hour's observations: Pueblo, Alamosa, and LaVeta reported VFR conditions. At the conclusion of the briefing, the pilot said: "I'll go ahead and give it a shot."
According to the flight plan, the route of flight was from Pueblo direct to Silver West Airport (C08), Westcliffe, Colorado, and then direct to Alamosa. Altitude and speed were listed as 10,500 feet and 125 KTAS (knots true airspeed), and estimated time en route and fuel on board were 1 hour, 15 minutes, and 5 hours, 30 minutes, respectively.
Taxi clearance to runway 26L came at 0829:35, and takeoff clearance was issued at 0837:20. The pilot contacted Pueblo departure control at 0839:25, and advised he was climbing through 6,500 feet. The last radio contact with the airplane was at 0856:27, when the pilot acknowledged that radar services had been terminated.
A Bureau of Land Management (BLM) surveyor, located about two miles from the accident site, said he heard an approaching airplane. He said the engine was "sputtering, like it was missing." He did not see the airplane, but he did hear a loud "pop." He went to a clearing and saw a fire on the mountainside. He telephoned his dispatcher in Pueblo, and gave his GPS (Global Positioning System) location and bearing to the fire. The witness was later questioned via telephone. He said the sound of the airplane seemed to be coming from the southeast and moving northwest. The sky was overcast and the mountaintops were obscured. He estimated the point of impact to be 500 feet below the overcast. The coordinates he gave his dispatcher were 37 degrees, 51'29.9" North latitude, and 105 degrees, 26'11.6" West longitude. The accident site was on a bearing of 265 degrees and approximately 2 miles from his position.
At 1000, the Denver AFSS received a call from the U.S. Forest Service, advising of a possible aircraft accident near Medano Pass. At 1520, Pueblo Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) received a telephone call from Pueblo Community College, indicating Alamosa, Durango, and Cortez airports had been contacted, and N5416P had not arrived. At 1550, the Denver AFSS also received a telephone call from Pueblo Community College, advising that N5416P had not arrived at Alamosa as planned. Search and rescue was initiated, and an ALNOT (alert notice) was issued at 1613. At 1704, Denver AFSS received a call from the college, advising that the Colorado State Department of Public Safety and the State Emergency Management Department was being activated, and at 1757, Pueblo Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) issued a similar ALNOT. At 1805, the Saguache County Sheriff's Department reported having found the wreckage. Denver AFSS cancelled their ALNOT at 1815, and Pueblo ATCT cancelled their ALNOT at 1822.
The accident occurred during the hours of daylight at a GPS location of 37 degrees, 51.167 North latitude, and 105 degrees, 27.633 West longitude, or about 30 DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) from the Alamosa (ALS) VORTAC (Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Radio Range) on the 030-degree radial.
The pilot, age 54, held a private pilot certificate with an airplane single-engine land rating, dated May 21, 2004. He was not instrument rated. He also held a third class airman medical certificate, dated March 16, 2005, with the restriction, "Must wear corrective lenses." When he applied for this medical certificate, he estimated his total flight time to be 165 hours, of which 47 hours were accrued in the previous six months.
A reconstructed portion of the pilot's first logbook, his complete second logbook, and various airplane tax papers were submitted to establish the pilot's aeronautical experience, to wit:
From reconstructed logbook: First flight, 02/08/03 Last flight, 03/22/03 Cessna 172, 13.5 Total flight time, 13.5
From second logbook: First entry, 05/19/04 Private pilot practical flight test, 05/21/04 First flight, Piper PA-24-180, 06/11/04 Total flight time, 125.2 Pilot-in-Command, 32.4 Single-engine land, 125.2 Complex, 19.4 Mountain, 22.7 Night, 8.8 Last entry, 08/01/04
From tax papers: Hours flown, N5416P: September-December 2004 7.2 2005 96.5 January-July 2006 32.3
From these documents, it was estimated the pilot had accrued a total of 261.2 flight hours, of which 152.8 hours were in the Piper PA-24-180, and 136 hours were in N5416P.
N5416P (s/n 24-270), a model PA-24-180, was manufactured by the Piper Aircraft Corporation in 1958. It was equipped with a Lycoming O-360-A1A engine (s/n L-1016-36), rated at 180 horsepower, driving a Hartzell 2-blade, all-metal, constant speed propeller (m/n HC-C2YR-1BF).
The airplane's maintenance records were recovered from the wreckage. According to these documents, the airframe, engine, and propeller underwent annual/100-hour inspections on October 29, 2005, at a tachometer time of 341.05. The original airframe and engine logbooks had been lost, but the airframe and engine total time-in-service was computed to be 2,909 hours. The engine was last overhauled on March 15, 1977, at a total time-in-service of 2,568 hours. It received a top overhaul on October 21, 1984, at 2,647 hours time-in-service.
A new propeller was installed on July 12, 2001, at a tachometer time of 217.97 hours. At the time of the last annual/100-hour inspection, it had accrued 123.08 total hours.
On August 31, 2004, the pitot-static system, altimeter, transponder, and encoder were tested in accordance with FAR 43, appendices E and F, and were certified for IFR (instrument flight rules). The most recent weight and balance were done on September 8, 2002, at a tachometer time of 224.2 hours (2,792.2 hours time-in-service).
When the pilot took off from Pueblo Municipal Airport (PUB) at 0834, weather reported by AWOS was as follows:
0853: Wind, calm; visibility, 10 statute miles (or greater); ceiling, 1,000 feet broken; temperature, 19 degrees Celsius; dew point, 13 degrees Celsius; altimeter, 30.23 inches of Mercury; sea level pressure, 1017.7 mb.
At the time of the accident, weather recorded at the La Veta Mountain AWOS (VTP), located 37 miles south of the accident site, was as follows:
0937: Wind, 080 degrees at 13 knots, gusting to 19 knots; visibility, 10 statute miles (or greater); sky condition, 600 feet scattered, 1,200 feet scattered; ceiling, 7,500 feet broken; temperature, 15 degrees Celsius (C.); dew point, 9 degrees C.; altimeter, 30.54 inches of Mercury.
At the time of the accident, weather recorded at Alamosa (ALS), his destination, was as follows:
0952: Wind, calm; visibility, 10 statute miles or greater; sky condition, clear; temperature, 16 degrees Celsius; dew point, 9 degrees Celsius; altimeter, 30.37 inches of Mercury; sea level pressure, 1019.9 mb.
The accident site was at a GPS elevation of 11,589 feet msl (above mean sea level). Ground scars indicate the airplane struck the mountain in a wings level, nose slightly low attitude, on a magnetic heading of 250 degrees. It then slid downhill approximately 75 feet, coming to rest on a magnetic heading of 293 degrees. There was no evidence of tree strikes. Terrain slope, as measured by an inclinometer, was 28 degrees. The airplane and surrounding vegetation caught fire and eventually burned out. The landing gear and flaps were both retracted.
At the request of the Saguache County coroner, an autopsy and toxicology was performed on the pilot by the El Paso County Coroner's Office. According to their report, the pilot's death was attributed to "multiple blunt traumatic injuries." Toxicology protocol revealed the presence of caffeine. The specimens were unsuitable for testing for carbon monoxide.
On September 8, the wreckage was recovered from the mountain and transported to Beegles Aircraft Service, Greeley, Colorado. On October 11, the engine was disassembled and examined. No anomalies were noted. There was camshaft and crankshaft continuity, and all connecting rods were attached. The carburetor, which had separated from the engine, was examined. The bowl was empty, and the throttle valve was closed. Both the engine-driven and auxiliary fuel pumps were destroyed by fire.
Examination of the airframe confirmed that the landing gear and flaps were retracted. The elevator trim tab was in the neutral position.
A Lowrance Electronics GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver was recovered from the wreckage and sent to the company in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for evaluation. According to Lowrance, data was downloaded from the memory chip, but the data was "garbled and unusable."
The Carburetor Icing Probability Chart was consulted. The temperature and dew point recorded at La Veta Mountain were conducive to "serious icing at cruise power." The temperatures and dew points recorded at Pueblo and Alamosa were conducive to "serious icing at glide power" (see Exhibits).
In addition to the Federal Aviation Administration, parties to the investigation included the New Piper Aircraft Corporation and Textron-Lycoming.
The wreckage was released to the insurance company on October 11, 2006.

Take it for what you will, Kurt Angle opening his mouth, but that's the word according to Rajah.com, citing an interview with Angle on KHTK 1140 in Sacramento.
Angle states he's doing different things from tv shows to movies to an upcoming "MMA fight" with Randy Couture:
Angle said he and Couture have both signed with a promotion but won't say who. Angle said they will be looking for more promoters to help make the event something big and special. Angle said the fight would more than likely take place in California but did not mention a city.
I started to say, "I believe this about as much as," but couldn't think of anything asinine enough to complete the simile. I'll personally wait on some type of Randy Couture confirmation. I might be waiting a very long time, but I'll be waiting.
Why does Angle continue to discuss UFC or Couture in every interview he gives? Is it a macho thing? Like when Hulk Hogan threatens to beat people up on his reality show when very likely one of those Missouri child MMA fighters could take out his weak knees with a leg kick? Kurt, we respect your wrestling background, you're a great athlete. Stop trying to prove something you won't be able to prove.

Latest Lowry Grove plan passes muster with St. Anthony Planning Commission
At its Feb. 26 meeting, the St. Anthony Planning Commission, which advises the St. Anthony City Council, moved to recommend approval of the preliminary plan for the former Lowry Grove mobile home park site, now being called the Kenzie Terrace & Stinson Parkway development.
The commission recommendation came with an amendment advising the city council to "strongly consider" tying financial tax incentives for the development with affordable housing units in every building, and affordable housing that targets families.
The recommendation will be forwarded to the city council for consideration at its March 27 meeting. If approved, the final plat submission would be given to the city later this spring.
The St. Anthony council unanimously voted down the first Lowry Grove proposal at its Oct. 10 meeting last year. St. Anthony city staff recommended rejecting the plan over concerns about density expressed by residents during prior community and council meetings.
Down from an original 700 units, the plan presented Feb. 26 had 414 units, with room for 430.
Planning commissioners listened to the development team from The Village, LLC, which owns the former Lowry Grove site. The commission then listened to people comment and asked questions about the development.
Many speakers addressed what they said is a lack of affordable housing in the plan, including people displaced when the Lowry Grove mobile park was vacated to make way for development last June.
Former Lowry Grove resident Antonia Alvarez said, "Many of the [former Lowry Grove] residents are still homeless ... because there is not affordable housing in the city."
On Feb. 28, St. Anthony Villagers for Community Action held a meeting at St. Anthony Village High School that included a slideshow of images from the closing of the Lowry Grove, a screening of the PBS documentary "Sold Out: Affordable Housing at Risk," and a presentation from Metropolitan Council housing policy analyst Tara Beard.
"We have to remember residents of Lowry Grove are residents of St. Anthony," said a community action group member while discussing her belief the city should rally to provide affordable housing.
