The Frugalista Files by Natalie McNeal
Release Date: January 1 2011
Publisher: Harlequin
Received from: NetGalley
Rating: 5 yaaa I loved it
Cover Thoughts: It's perfect.
Be sure to check it out on goodreads.
My Review:
When I signed up to review this book, I didn't realize it was a Harlequin. My original thoughts on a Harlequin published book was that it was all things I do not read (an adult book, not my YA). And so I was really debating on even reading it, by the time I got around to looking at the actually book (because I totally just went off the cover and not the synopsis), I had almost convinced myself not to read it. But I want to build my relationship with NetGalley, so I decided to give it ago. BOY am I so glad I did. What a read!! I HIGHLY highly recommend it.
It was so refreshing and fun to read. I would compare it to the Shopaholic Book Series, except that the main character in the Shopaholic Series was conceited and annoyed me, so I barely could stand reading the books. But Natalie is a wonderful woman and so Empowering! I book-marked 14 spots in her book, I never book-mark and I hardly ever quote. But this book just has so much stuff in if I want to remember. Debt has been such a huge thing on my mind lately, especially after Mr. and mine latest shopping spree and Christmas Presents which have set us back $1000!
Comparing myself to her, I don't make as much money as her, but I have a double income and she doesn't. My rent is $55 bucks more than hers and well she took her debt from $20,000.00 to $14,000.00 in 10 months! That is simply amazing!! TEN MONTHS! I can not wait to buy the hard copy of this book and reread it. It will become another one of my book bibles (I also have The One Hundred by Nina Garcia as a bible!)
This book completely inspires me and I know I can do better with Mr. and mine's money. WAY better. If she can manage that much in 10 months we can be out of debt by September 2011. But I am totally getting off topic here.
The Frugalista Files is actually a blog and if you haven't heard of it SHAME!!! LOL jk.. seriously though I always check it out when I am depressed about money and need a pickier upper. Some of my favorite quotes are the following but aren't limited to just these :)
"Fun, fashionable and frugal is my mantra. What else is there to life?"
"One of the panelists suggested that we each spend 3 hours per week taking care of our personal financial matters. At first, that seemed like a long time. Borderline obsessive. After I thought about it, it's not."
"Find solutions to your problems. Instead of just whining, moping or complaining about a problem, I find solace in finding a solution for it. When I find a workable solution to whatever is bothering me, I feel smart."
"It's not enough to become a great chef. Nowadays, people would rather eat at a restaurant of a chef with a kick-ass website. People judge you by your online presence and the online reviews of your work."
This is so true, it's how Mr. and I decide pretty much everything we do!
"Never trust a man who makes you sit on his lap and ask for favors. Santa is not fooling me."
Her opinion of Christmas shopping!! Loved this part!
Recipes I got from the book
1. Salmon
nuked in the microwave with butter, seasoned salt, garlic salt and cayenne pepper
2. Asparagus
stir-fried with a little bit of garlic and olive oil
3. Preheat the oven to 450F. Wash and slice at least 2 potatoes medium thin. Put the slices on a foil-covered baking sheet. Toss the potato slices with extra-virgin olive oil, garlic salt, pepper and Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Slice a small lemon and randomly put the slices on top of the potato slices. Pull the leaves off a few fresh oregano stems and place on top of the potatoes. Cover the potatoes with foil and bake until tender, about 25 minutes, checking every 10 minutes.
Websites and articles she mentioned that I totally want to find.
The Crushed Grape Report - awesome post on affordable wines to drink.
Dollars and Sense - Panel
To wrap up I will use one last quote
"So, the moral of this story: work smarter, harder and never be afraid to take an educated risk. It pays off."
BE sure to check out my quote on my Teaser Tuesday HERE. Leave me a comment on what you think, this was a long review.

Metal casting – the modern process with ancient roots and arguably the earliest and most influential industrial process in history.
Metal casting is the process of pouring liquid metal into a mold to achieve the desired shape. The oldest known metal casting is that of a copper frog, believed to have been produced in 3200 BCE in Mesopotamia. Later, around 2000 BCE, Iron was discovered, but it was not until around 700 BCE that the Chinese developed the first production of cast iron. It was also the Chinese, in 645 BCE, who invented the sand molding process of casting metals.
Interesting to note that it was around 500 CE that the first cast crucible steel was produced. However, the technology was lost until 1750 when Benjamin Huntsman reinvented it in England. A crucible is a ceramic pot with refractory properties (materials that are used in linings for furnaces, kilns, incinerators, and reactors), typically made of clay in which metal is melted for casting.
Over the past 2,645 years, the casting of metals into usable objects has evolved to become more exact and automated, but the process at its core has essentially remained the same although, innovations like the General Kinematics' VIBRA-DRUM® Sand Casting Conditioner have made finished products more refined and valuable.
1. The first step is Patternmaking: where an object is designed. This step is only necessary for industrial part making where precise calculations are needed to make pieces fit and work together.
2. Step two is Core making: where the pattern is sculpted into a three-dimensional shape. Many times, wood, clay, or plastic is used for this process so that the core can be measured for accuracy before the final product is cast.
3. Step three is the creation of a Mold. Think about walking on the beach toward the ocean and seeing your footprint in the wet sand. Your foot would be the core and the impression left in the sand is the mold of your foot. In casting, a "green sand," which can be hardened inside a "flask," is commonly used. However, in industrial applications, a two-piece, non-destructible, metal mold is created so that it can be used repeatedly to cast identical parts.
4. Step four is the Pouring of the liquid metal into the mold where it is allowed to cool.
5. Step five is the final step, whereby the cast metal object is removed from the mold and then Fettled. During the fettling, the object is cleaned of any molding material, and rough edges are removed.
To assist in this process, General Kinematics has developed the VIBRA-DRUM® Sand Casting Conditioner which excels at cooling, equalizing, and reclaiming sand from castings. The machine is revolutionary in its high volume mold and sand handling for foundry applications gently tumbling the sand off of castings while simultaneously cooling sand temperatures and evaporating moisture to provide a clean cast and sand ready for the reclamation process.
Today, nearly every mechanical device we use, from automobiles to washing machines are manufactured using metal parts that were cast. The difference between today's cast metal products and those that were manufactured even 100 years ago, is the precision and tolerances that can be achieved through the computerized automated design process and modern methods for producing the detailed cores and molds.
Throughout the centuries, various combinations of raw materials have been developed to produce various metal types. Some cast products are used in engines that require a high tolerance for heat and cold. Cast iron pipe must resist corrosion and high pressures. Other cast parts must be lightweight but durable. In many applications, parts are designed to allow for precise tolerance between expansion and contraction. The advancement in the quality of cast metal products starts with the quality of the mineral product itself.
General Kinematics is proud to be a leading manufacturer of automated vibratory processing equipment that has innovated alongside the foundry industry for nearly 60 years. To get more information about all of the General Kinematics foundry equipment, contact us today!

10 comments
Yes, unfortunately summer past very quickly. Love so much the palm-tree and the whole nail art you painted here. Fantastic one!ReplyDeleteReplies
Its flown by! I am glad it seems like you got to get out and see some beautiful places! Thank you so much, Andrea!Delete
Can you believe the first place came in my mind after seeing very firsts image of the post was Maldives only. It's such a beautiful place on earth...I just love everything in this manicure especially that dreamy sky and that bridge towards a cottage. You have perfectly captured the mood of Maldives on such a small canvas. As always...you are a genius Ithi...<3ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm glad it made you think of Maldives too! My sister was lucky enough to go there.. her holiday pictures were so pretty! Thank you so much lovely :)Delete
Ohhhh... I would love to visit that place! All nice and quiet and warm and most of all private because of course there are doors and windows in the cottage, they're just on the other side. I can almost see myself sitting there on the pier, dangling my feet in the nice cool water :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Hehe, me too, Joyce! I always find it so easy/fun to paint places I'd actually like to be. I'm glad the door and window thing didn't ruin the whole manicure. I felt like it had when I realised, lol. Thank you so much for your kind words :)Delete
Oh, yes, the vibrancy is awesome! So dreamy! I didn't even notice there's no doors/windows -- I just assumed we're seeing the hut from the back. Lovely design!!!! It reminds me of the magical place the queen (Julia Roberts) goes in the movie "Mirror, Mirror". Have you ever seen it?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you darling for your kind words! I've not seen that movie but its going on my list now, I have to see this place you are talking about! :)Delete
These are fabulous!ReplyDelete
It was really hard finding your comment box!ReplyDelete
I have been wanting ombre nails for about a year but no one could seem to do it. It's so wonderful that it's in a bottle. Thank you for showing me this!
♥Thank you so much for visiting today. I always love to read your thoughts and comments so don't be a stranger, come join in!

Poor evaluations allow too many who lack psychological or emotional fitness to undergo gender reassignment surgery. Other factors like alcohol, drugs, and high-risk behaviors play a role in poor long-term outcome for the transgender population. As Richard B. Corradi, M.D., a professor of psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, wrote recently: "People with a chronically unstable self-image, poor self-esteem, and an ill-defined sense of self are poorly equipped to deal with the stresses of ordinary life. This group constitutes the vast majority of the self-identified transgendered who undertake the full sex-change regimen of hormone treatment and 'sex-reassignment' surgery."
Now to trans-advocates, Corradi's words are "hate speech." That means they hate the accurate assessment of a psychiatric doctor. Regardless, he's not by any means an isolated case. Dr. Charles Ihlenfeld, after spending six years administering hormone therapy to 500 transgender patients in the 1970s, said the same thing: "There is too much unhappiness among people who have had the surgery. Too many of them end as suicides."
"It's not just a question of surgery or of screening out those who are psychotic or emotionally unstable; it's the question of what the patient is going to do with the rest of his life that has to be resolved. Therapy can give him insight into himself and into his feelings that he needs to change his anatomical sex," Ihlenfeld said. As a former transgender who underwent the complete gender reassignment protocol, I can tell you Dr. Ihlenfeld spoke the truth in 1979, but no one was listening. I attempted suicide after cross-gender hormones and a radical surgery.
Today I see similar regrettable outcomes of these protocols in the letters I receive, each one telling his or her own pain-filled, chilling story of dissatisfaction with being transgender, a label they no longer take pride in. Now they want a way back to sanity.
Corradi found chronically unstable self-image, poor self-esteem, and an ill-defined sense of self among transgender patients. How can a change of gender persona and appearance be a singular, permanent solution for people who suffer this way? The issues go much deeper for many such people.
Chris Hyde, the director of the University of Birmingham's research facility (Arif) in the UK, said: "There is a huge uncertainty over whether changing someone's sex is a good or a bad thing. While no doubt great care is taken to ensure that appropriate patients undergo gender reassignment, there's still a large number of people who have the surgery but remain traumatized—often to the point of committing suicide."
A large population-based study released in 2011 from Sweden (Dhejne et al. 2011) found that patients who underwent gender reassignment surgery had a much higher incidence of co-occurring (or comorbid) psychopathology, death by suicide, and suicide attempts.
Recent studies offer a possible explanation for the feeling that one needs to change anatomical sex. They show that two-thirds of transgender people have other co-existing psychological disorders. A 2014 study found 62.7 percent of patients diagnosed with gender dysphoria had at least one co-occurring disorder, and 33 percent were found to have major depressive disorders, which are linked to suicide ideation. Another 2014 study of transgender individuals in four European countries found that almost 70 percent of participants showed one or more Axis I disorders, mainly affective (mood) disorders and anxiety.
In 2007, the Department of Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, in a clinical review of the comorbid disorders of patients interviewed at their Gender Identity Clinic, found that "90% of these diverse patients had at least one other significant form of psychopathology . . . [including] problems of mood and anxiety regulation and adapting in the world. Two of the 10 have had persistent significant regrets about their previous transitions."
Stop Experimenting With Sad People's Lives
The combination of 41 percent attempting suicide and 20 percent or more reporting dissatisfaction does not square with a community of happy and healthy people where "regret is rare."
I would love to set the record straight to benefit people who are being led astray by false talking points. Surgical and hormonal gender reassignment is not without risk. Unhappiness with the outcome is not rare. To those who think transgender people are happy with their gender changes: Why, then, do they spend their days contemplating suicide?
I know from the letters I receive that too many people encounter dissatisfaction in post-surgical life and have nowhere to turn for help. For some, unhappiness is due to social difficulties, such as broken family relationships, divorce, loss of long-term relationships, or strain maintaining a career. For others, it's attributable to the physical results: disappointment with the outcome of surgery or problems "passing" in one's new gender.
Too many U.S. medical practitioners direct all gender-distressed people toward the extreme measures of conforming the body to the mind, rather than exploring the psychological issues that lie beneath the feelings. Underestimating the level of dissatisfaction with gender change lulls lawmakers, medical personnel, and the patients themselves into experimenting with people's lives and making public policy based on a lie. It encourages an attitude of "There's no harm in trying," which is false. Giving powerful hormones and recommending radical surgeries without screening for psychological issues first causes great harm to the patients and their families.
It is not homophobic, transphobic, or bigoted to look at the causes of dissatisfaction and suicide among the transgender population. Rather, it is a caring, heartfelt way to prevent dissatisfaction and suicides. Improvement in treatment begins with acknowledging and using solid facts and statistics. Many people who are regretful and suicidal followed to the letter the generally accepted treatment protocol of doctor-prescribed hormone therapy and genital surgery.
President-elect Trump has an opportunity to change the transgender talking points and stop federal agencies from pushing the radical transgender agenda, opting instead to put the emphasis on giving gender-troubled folks access to well-rounded care that includes more than a quick path to cross-gender hormones and surgery.

|The Ghoul's Eye
Episode Info
The Ghoul's Eye is the eighteenth episode of the first season of Scooby-Doo! Original Mysteries.
The gang go to Colorado to see their friend Rick Roberts, who in his posseesion has a famous diamond. When a ghost with only one eye nabs the diamond, can the gang figure out the mystery and get the ghoul's eye?
The gang go to their friend Rick Roberts' mansion to see him.
The gang are in Colorado, driving toward the mansion. After a few minutes, they get there. They get out, and are greeted by their friend Rick Roberts. He says he is happy they are here, and he introduces them to his gardener, Jerry. Jerry is very angry about Rick. Rick motions for the gang to go inside.
Once inside, Rick tells the gang to put their bags down. Rick asks them if they want any food. Shaggy and Scooby reply yes. Rick directs them to the kitchen, and tells them if they want anything they can just ask the cook, Amanda Trawouse. Amanda tells Scooby and Shaggy she wishes to have the Farout, Rick's famous diamond, while Scooby and Shaggy are eating. Scooby and Shaggy go with the gang once they are finished.
Rick leads them to the Jewel Room, where he wants to show them his prize diamond, the Farout. It is so named because when light reflects off it, you can see psychedelic colors (hippie colors="far out" or Farout). Anyway, Rick shows them the diamond, and it does have psycheledic colors. Suddenly a phantom comes in and grabs the diamond. The phantom says to get the diamond back, they need to find his eye. Then the ghost leaves, leaving a clue on the floor. Rick says that they must get the diamond back, then leaves the room. Velma picks up the clue, and it says "My eye has clues, but first in the moos." Velma denotes this means two things: either it's in the barn or in the cow pen. Fred decides the gang must split up. Shaggy and Scooby go to the barn, and Fred and the girls go to the cow pen.
In the barn, Shaggy and Scooby look around. Shaggy goes to the chicken place and starts making like a chicken. Scooby joins in, but Shaggy spots a note near the cows. It is in the shelf above the cows, so Scooby climbs on top of Shaggy's shoulders, gets the note, and then falls down. They have the note, but then the One-Eyed Ghoul comes out and chases them back into the house. Fred and the girls notice and run after them.
Shaggy and Scooby go through the rooms. Finally they lose the ghoul and head back to the gang. The next clue reads "You are 1 clue away, now find the good pay." The gang decide to stick together. Daphne reasons this must mean the office, where the safe is. They only need the key.
The gang heads to the office. They look, and the safe is locked. Daphne pulls out a hairpin from her purse, and unlocks the safe, since it needs a key. Inside is the last note, which reads "My eye is my heart for me, can't you see. My eye is hippie, or where it used to be." Velma realizes where they need to go. She leads the gang down the hallways.
The gang finally turn up at the Jewel Room. There are Rick, Amanda and Jerry. Rick tells them this was all a test, to see how good his old friends were at mystery-solving. The episode ends with the gang going off again.

When does a german couple benefit from cross-border
reproductive care in Europe?
Cross border care is a common phenomenon in patients
seeking treatment for fertility disorders in the European
Union. Many of these couples originate from Germany,
thus evading restrictive legislation and partially motivated
by financial considerations as well as the hope for a better
quality of treatment. This article presents an overview of
the literature, putting it into context with the situation of
the german patients and relating it to practical aspects for
the critical practitioner, who is often required to support
the patients, before and after seeking treatment abroad.

Boston, Massachusetts – Cabot expects lower volumes but stronger pricing in China as a drive to increase environmental standards in the country gathers pace.
In a 2 Nov conference call, Keohane said the Chinese government was "intensely focused" on air quality index (AQI), particularly in winter where household heating is supplied through burning coal.
There had been circumstances where the government had mandated "curtailments of all industry" to address low air quality level, Keohane told analysts during the call to discuss Cabot's full-year financial report.

TRUTH OR DARE by Jillian Verne
a Masters of the Order interlude
Truth or dare, Julianne?
Why had she taken a dare from Nicolai Stavros of all people?
The Big Bad Wolf to her Little Red. The masterful, erotic artist with forbidden tastes. A Master of the Order.
A secretive smile slipped across Julianne's lips.
Oh, yes. She knew exactly why.
Her seduction had been artful. It began the moment she accepted Nicolai's dare. It intensified when she untied the red bow on the huge box Nicolai had delivered to her apartment. It spiked when she lifted the lid. High-class slut wear, a hotel room key, and a note that said, Beauty in boldness.
Quite a dare.
Julianne took a last look at her reflection. Midnight-blue corset, lace panties, silk thigh-high stockings, and a pair of velvet stilettos worthy of the highest-priced escort. The selections of a sexual Dominant. Her Dominant.
And the conservative black Burberry trench coat?
Quite a joke.
Julianne shifted her corset to plump her breasts, dabbed her lips with cherry-red gloss, wrapped the revised version of herself in Burberry's finest, and headed into the unknown.
Even with the coat, all eyes fell on her while she made her way through the elegant lobby of the George V Hotel in Paris. If the doorman hadn't recognized her, she would have been turned away. No ladies of the night allowed, even ones wrapped in 4,000 euro designer coats. But there would be no turning back. The punishment for not following through with Nicolai's dare would be far more painful than a few awkward moments in an invisible spotlight.
Julianne held her head high and walked to the elevators. Proud of her boldness and aroused by the decadence of Nicolai's game. Anticipation thrilled her senses while she slipped the keycard into the lock.
What lay on the other side of the door?
What would the man who summoned a coquette do when she answered his call?
The hotel room was as black as a cave. Pitch black.
Nicolai's presence filled any space he occupied as if it were an entity separate and distinct from the man, and she felt him inside. Her fingers fumbled for a light switch.
"No light. Step into the room. Lose the coat."
She took off the coat. Cool air washed over her skin, making her aware of her near-nakedness. She took a careful step forward, unable to see, but frighteningly able to sense the danger looming in the dark.
A beam of blue-white light cut through the blackness to shine directly into her eyes. She couldn't see Nicolai's face, only the cufflink glinting at his wrist and his hand–his talented hand–holding a flashlight.
The light dropped to her mouth.
"Blow me a kiss."
She puckered her glossy lips. "Mwah."
The light ran over the mounds of her breasts, lingered on the silk of her corset, and settled on her crotch.
"Lose the panties."
Julianne bent and slipped the small piece of silk down her legs. She teetered on one stiletto when she lifted the other, and heard Nicolai chuckle. A contained, arrogant sound. A Dominant's laugh that touched like a warm hand.
"Are you ready for me?"
"Montre-moi." Show me.
She spread her legs for her voyeur, separated her secret lips, and held them open for the cerulean eyes she couldn't see. Her clitoris glistened in the beam of light.
"Vous touchez." Touch yourself.
Holding her moist lips aside with two fingers, Julianne began to stroke herself. She felt Nicolai's gaze on the finger trailing circles over the small piece of slick flesh. It swelled and thickened beneath the slow, velvety touch. She focused her attention on her posture and the finger fluttering at her lover's command.
A delicious ache sprouted deep within. Constant and intense, the sensation mounted, mounted…
"Stop." Nicolai's command was sharp. "Put your hands behind your head."
With his words, the promise of a luxurious orgasm faded, absorbed by the darkness.
Julianne raised her arms and laced her fingers together at the back of her skull. Nicolai stepped forward and set the flashlight upright on the floor beneath the V of her spread legs to illuminate her naked, needy vagina. He moved behind her, twined his hand roughly into her loose hair, and jerked her head back. The other hand grabbed her wrist.
"Everything tastes better with a hint of spice," he whispered, brought her finger to his mouth, and sucked her feminine cream off the pad. He replaced her hand at the back of her head, reached down to open her soaked folds, and began to strum his thumb across her clit.
The next few moments were a blur of unadulterated bliss, her entire being consumed by the mastery of Nicolai's talented hand. He raised her higher and higher still, controlling her arousal, bringing her to the edge, then backing her away to leave her breathless and aching. She bit her lip, but couldn't hold back the carnal sound as her orgasm crested once again.
"Come without permission. I dare you," Nicolai threatened.
Julianne's entire body shuddered with the cruel denial. She squeezed her eyelids tight and tried to meet the challenge to stay off the orgasm while her wicked lover did everything he could to make that extraordinarily difficult. His thumb continued its endless glide. His fist tightened in her hair to turn her head. His mouth closed over hers.
Nicolai kissed her with a passion that bordered on violent and began to touch her more aggressively, finding a rhythm with his stroking. His tongue thrust hard, mimicking the decadent work of his decadent hand, by far the most decadent part of her decadent man.
Her mind swirled, faster and faster. She felt dizzy. Tried to hold back, but…
Mon Dieu. My God.
What Nicolai was doing to her body? The deep kiss. The tug in her hair. The relentless strumming. Her lover in the dark knew the perfect way to pleasure a woman.
Nicolai broke the seal of his lips. "What will I do if you're bad, my beauty?"
He continued working between her legs.
Demanding the very thing his words denied.
"What am I hiding in the dark?"
Nicolai began to tap his finger over her tiny exposed mound. Tip to tip. Concentrating the sensation. Arousing with minimal contact. The focused touch was alarming; the enormity of its impact, shocking. Each repetition built the intensity.
"Come on, Julianne. Be bad for me. See what will happen," he tempted.
Nicolai's dare ricocheted around inside her head, filling her with a blend of fear and determination to obey, but the tone in his voice only pushed her closer to the orgasm his threat sought to deny, and the staccato stimulation was electrifying her entire body. She fought the demand for release, afraid of what awaited her in the dark.
Or wanting it?
"Truth or dare, Julianne?"
The deep masculine rasp, the heated touch, the threat of pain or the promise of pleasure…the mystery.
Oh yes, Julianne knew her truth.
"Dare," she whispered and came in a rush of powerful spasms.
Nicolai held tight. The haughty voice of a man who knew he had his woman wholly and willingly within his control purred into her ear, "Let the dark game begin."
Julianne and Nicolai are the protagonists in the upcoming release, Masterpiece, A Masters of the Order Novel by Jillian Verne. Pre-order the novel at: http://www.loose-id.com/masters-of-the-order-masterpiece.html. Available on 1/5/16. Find out more about this novel and the next three in the Masters of the Order series at: http://www.jillianverne.com.
Rules of the game: Players are asked "truth or dare" and must freely choose one. There must be a stated punishment if the players break this rule or refuse to tell truth or take the dare after choosing.

In 1901 Lord Moore-Brabazon and his Royal Aero Club set up in Leysdown to popularise balloon flying, this led to the area being used as the very first airfield in England.
In early 1909 Mr Griffith Brewer and Sir C.S. Rolls, one of the co-founders of Rolls-Royce, bought four hundred acres of land at Muswell Manor, Frank McClean paid for the land to be converted into an airfield, this was to be the first airfield in the United kingdom. It was around this time Shorts Brothers came to Muswell Manor, they set up the first true aircraft factory in the UK.
Later on that year the aerodrome moved to Eastchurch, Shorts Brothers and the aero club joined them there. Wright Brothers visited the aerodrome and chose the Shorts Brothers factory to build six planes under UK licence, they liked the site as it was isolated and reduced the risk of the work being spied on. The planes were called Wright Flyer Aircraft.
The modern flying boat owes a lot to the pioneering works of the Shorts Brothers. They experimented and designed ship-planes, floatplanes and seaplanes. The seaplanes were taken from Eastchurch to Queenborough by road where they were launched. Their plane Short 184 was the first plane to sink a vessel using an aircraft launched torpedo.
Also in 1909 Lord Moore-Brabazon flew 5Km in a Voisin Pusher, leaving from Leysdown. He also won £1000 from the Daily Mirror for being the first British pilot to fly the fist circular mile in a British plane, the plane was a Shorts no.2. Lord Moore-Brabazon was the first person to fly a live cargo plane, he strapped a wastebasket to the planes wing and put a small pig, names Icarus II, and air lifted it. In 1910 he received the first ever pilot licence in this country, it was awarded by the Royal Aero Club, the second one going to Sir C.S. Rolls .
Lieutenant J.W. Dunne arrived in Sheppey the same year and asked the Shorts Brothers to build him a plane by his own design, it was to be a tailless bi-plane with V shaped wings. It was flown from Eastchurch to Paris in 1913 and some of the technology has been used recently for the Concorde and stealth planes.
In 1910 Sir Frank McClean offered to loan the Royal Navy planes to train officers to fly, the offer was accepted. The Admiralty had asked for volunteers who wished to learn to fly, two hundred unmarried officers applied even though it was on condition they would never command a warship and they would pay for any planes they crashed. Four officers were chosen and sent to Eastchurch in 1911. Their training led to Eastchurch Aerodrome becoming the first Military Flying School. One of the volunteers, Lieutenant Charles Samson became the first person to take off from a war ship and the first person to take off from a moving ship in 1912.
Eastchurch Aerodrome held an annual race in 1911, people could watch the race from Stanford Hill.
During WWI the Aerodrome became the founding station of the Royal Naval Air Force, during this time Commander Samson conducted trials of bomb dropping sights and equipment, he also attempted to perfect landing at night without any lights. He went on to be involved in the first strategic bombing mission on German Zeppelin Sheds in 1914. It was during this war Sir Winston Churchill learnt to fly here.
In December1939 the aerodrome became a Polish training centre and by March it had 1300 Polish airmen billeted there. The airfield was bombed frequently during the war starting on Eagle Day, the first day of the Battle of Britain. Eighty German aircraft set out for Sheppey, fifty of these aircraft got through resulting in 12 people killed, 24 seriously injured and many grounded aircraft destroyed. Due to the obvious vulnerability the aerodrome was turned into a training station for gunnery and wireless.
The aerodrome closed in 1950 and was given to the home office for the building of a prison, due to this some buildings remain, you can find a WWI store, six hangars from 1911, aircraft workshops from 1912 and a WWII hanger.
There is a memorial to commemorate the home of British aviation in Eastchurch opposite All Saints Church. There is also a memorial window in All Saints church dedicated to C.S. Rolls and Cecil Grace, both killed in flying accidents.

Q: Corey, "Why did you write this web site?"A: The main reason I wrote this web site is because whenever I Google the term "pharmaceutical sales" I get a bazillion bullshit web sites that try to sell you something (most of it worthless).Very little free information regarding pharmaceutical sales or breaking into pharmaceutical sales is available on the internet. I started this site in 1999 as a way of giving back to an industry that has been very kind to be for the past 25 years. There are message boards but if a wannabe asks questions on the message boards, the people on the message board belittle or abuse the job seekers.Also, on the message boards you get a lot of people using dirty words, whining and bitching about how they hate their jobs and their company and they make us drug reps look like a bunch losers.But I am proud to be a pharmaceutical sales representative. It's a cool job, it pays well and the customers and management treat me with respect. So by writing this web site I get to communicate with thousands of people each year and show them the positive side of things.Q: Corey, "Do you make money off of this web site?"A: Yes. I make a little money off this site. I make enough to pay for the upkeep on this site and keep my computer and software up-to-date. But it's mostly a hobby. I recommend things that I have used or would use myself because I worry about my reputation. Here are three products that I personally endorse on this site because I believe in them:- I recommend my friend Scott Burke the resume writer dude from Long Island. He is a solid guy and since he started advertising on this site in 1999 I have never had a single solitary unresolved complaint regarding the service he provides. I have received 100's of E-mails from satisfied customers of Scott (and met several people who used him to write their resumes in person in the field in Queens, New York where I work). When people use him to write a resume I make a small fee.- I recommend "Insight into a Career in Pharmaceutical Sales", by Anne Clayton. I don't charge her anything because Anne is my friend and she doesn't make much off her book anyhow.- I advertise Pharma Resume Blaster because it is a good service and I went down there and I checked them out carefully and I got lots of good feedback all the time from people who use it.Q: Corey, "What's your advice to the people out there who are interested in a career in pharmaceutical sales?"A: Go for it. It's a great way to earn a living and you get to help people.Background InformationMonster Interviews Corey Nahman (the author of this website)Monster.com Article on Pharmaceutical Sales Insightful article on how to break into pharmaceutical sales from the perspective of a field veteran and a newly hired representative.

This is funny. The guy that does these at Lenny's drew one for me in January when my oldest friend, Lydia, was in town. I didn't have barely any cash on me so he accepted $3. What a nice guy. He does these amazingly fast, about 5 minutes or so. I was obliged to give him the full amount this time. $20. I think its worth it for special occasions. Shannon and I just celebrated our 2 year anniversary. Look at my big dumb grin! Support your fellow artist!

The Central Intelligence Agency's 9/11 File
Top Secret CIA Documents on Osama bin Laden Declassified – Published on The National Security Archive, Electronic Briefing Book No. 381, by Barbara Elias-Sanborn with Thanks to Archive Senior Fellow Jeffrey T. Richelson, June 19, 2012.
Washington, D.C., June 19, 2012 – The National Security Archive today is posting over 100 recently released CIA documents relating to September 11, Osama bin Laden, and U.S. counterterrorism operations. The newly-declassified records, which the Archive obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, are referred to in footnotes to the 9/11 Commission Report and present an unprecedented public resource for information about September 11.
The collection includes rarely released CIA emails, raw intelligence cables, analytical summaries, high-level briefing materials, and comprehensive counterterrorism reports that are usually withheld from the public because of their sensitivity. Today's posting covers a variety of topics of major public interest, including background to al-Qaeda's planning for the attacks; the origins of the Predator program now in heavy use over Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran; al-Qaeda's relationship with Pakistan; CIA attempts to warn about the impending threat; and the impact of budget constraints on the U.S. government's hunt for bin Laden.
Today's posting is the result of a series of FOIA requests by National Security Archive staff based on a painstaking review of references in the 9/11 Commission Report.
Document Highlights: … (full long text, long CIA 9/11 document list, and Notes).
