In 2014, two established kindergarten organisations came together to become one, creating He Whānau Manaaki o Tararua Free Kindergarten Association Incorporated (Whānau Manaaki Kindergartens) - one of the largest providers in the New Zealand early childhood sector.
Our name translates as "the caring family of Tararua" and recognises the value of the kindergarten movement and the Tararua range that defines the region. The name was developed in association with Sir Tamati and Lady Tilly Reedy, who both have a long association with early childhood education, including involvement in the development of the early childhood curriculum, Te Whāriki.
Whānau Manaaki families have access to early childhood education that draws on the strength and history of each individual organisation, while ensuring there are the resources and skills to for families, learners and communities.
We're working hard to meet the changing needs of families, with options of longer hours and greater flexibility, while preserving the things that make the kindergarten approach so special.
|As a member of New Zealand Kindergartens, Whānau Manaaki is committed to keeping alive the kindergarten principles that have made it a New Zealand treasure for more than 100 years: we are community based, not-for-profit, and children learn at their own pace. Our services are locally responsive, promoting excellence and innovation, involving parents, and in the kindergarten tradition, are closely connected to local schools.

There are so many men who have the problem to ejaculate properly. This can be caused due to certain sexual complications. However, reading through this content will help you discover how to cum more without any difficulty.
If this problem is really affecting your sexual life, you can give a technique called edging a try. Edging simply means the ability to masturbate prior to getting to the state of orgasm and you can finally stop. You will have to wait for a couple of minutes until the urge to sex comes pass and start all over again. You can continue to practice this technique for as much as you can withstand. The truth remains that persistence is required to get to the point of no return. You will build up more seminal fluid based on the amount of time you spend. For this reason, it is a good idea to spend a considerable amount of time in your practice. This will help you to get the best result.
Once you have decided to let go, you can now slow the stroking rate as possible. It is important to allow sensation to build up with time. This is a great factor to consider if you are planning to cum more. Your PC muscles should be contracted. This is simply as if you are planning to cut off the flow of urine and allow it to fly again. With time, you will have the knowledge of timing your strokes with ejaculating spasms. This will also help to maximize the distance of your semen fly. You should know that the process is all about trial and error. Provided you can figure out the points to get better results, the entire process will remain simple to achieve. It will also help you to get better orgasms.

To keep the lines of communication short to our customers on the local markets, Royal Wagenborg has operating companies throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. Last year we started more local branche offices and joint verntures in Rusland (Siberia, St. Petersburg), the United Kingdom, Dubai and China.
Wagenborg Oilfield Services in Noyabrsk, Siberia

Cooperation Wagenborg Nedlift and Collett & Sons Ltd.
To strengthen the position on the English market, Wagenborg Nedlift and Collett & Sons Ltd are cooperating in a joint venture. With 80 employees and over 40 years of experience Collet is, like Wagenborg, a family owned and managed company with experience over 40 years in heavy transport. With over 40 trucks and 70 trailers Collet's fleet shows similarity to the Wagenborg Nedlift fleet. Collett also possesses modular Scheuerle Intercombi and SPMT axles. The company is also a shipbroker and an experienced project forwarder. From Collett's offices in Goole and Halifax, business opportunities for the newly cooperating companies will be explored.
Wagenborg Saint Petersburg Ltd.
Sometimes it is not about strategic planning, but about new opportunities and how they appear. Just like Wagenborg Saint Petersburg Ltd. After more than twenty years of experience as an independent crewing agent, operating for various clients, Vladimir Kolesnikov was convinced that business development in the Saint Petersburg area could best be implemented with the cooperation of a well-known firm or brand. For many years Wagenborg Shipping has had a strong presence in the Port of Saint Petersburg. Vladimir shared his ideas with Wagenborg.The rest is history and Wagenborg Saint Petersburg Ltd. is a fact now. Supported by the brand name of Wagenborg, the company's goal is to increase the recruited and selected volume of professional seafarer for the existing clients, Wagenborg Shipping included. In the near future, Wagenborg Saint Petersburg will be a true extension of Wagenborg Shipping and be active in the areas of crewing, chartering, brokerage and agency activities.
Wagenborg goes Far East
As of February this year, our two trainees Sytse Sijperda and Paul Bakker are stationed in China to conduct a field research for Royal Wagenborg. Based in the representative office of Wagenborg Shipping in Shanghai, they will investigate potential business opportunities for Royal Wagenborg. Reining is seeking collaboration opportunities with Chinese partners for import logistics into Europe. For Wagenborg Projects & Logistics and Wagenborg Shipping the two trainees will investigate the potential in the Asian market.
Wagenborg goes Middle East
The Middle East region fits Wagenborg Services like a glove. Full with oil and gas and being a transport hub between Asia and Europe and the Americas, this region is still developing very rapidly. Services like Shipping, Freight forwarding, but also complex logistic projects for Oil companies and Oilfield Services, are the range of activities Wagenborg likes to spread in this region as well. After scouting for more than one year, Wagenborg decided to set up a free zone company in Dubai, Wagenborg Middle East, and depending on the projects awarded, bases may be started in Abu Dhabi, Southern Iraq, Qatar and Oman. Visited prospect and existing clients welcome the initiative of Wagenborg very much! Quality and solving client's challenges are what is expected to be delivered! Edwin Zwart, who carried out the scouting work, will be the Director of the new company.

This weekend, we had an awesome time in southeastern Vermont to complete our last towns in Windham County. We camped at Fort Dummer State Park in Guilford. We took the 29-er's in anticipation of dirt roads.
On Saturday morning, we coasted down from the campground to Brattleboro for breakfast and to view the Strolling of the Heifers. We saw our Montpelier friends Rob and Sarah across the street at the parade but never got a chance to talk to them. After the parade, we cycled a loop north of town through Dummerston. We then took a break to check out the festival at the Brattleboro Common before completing a loop south of town through Vernon.
After getting cleaned up on Saturday afternoon, I texted our old friends Scott & Barb to let them know we were in town. I figured that they would be away but wanted to make at least a halfhearted effort to be a sociable person. I immediately received a text back from Scott saying they were home. For the next hour. So we stopped by and enjoyed good company in the backyard with homemade seltzer and a small bowl of cherries.
On Sunday morning, we embarked on the Tour de Heifer. There was rain in the forecast for the afternoon so we opted for the 30-mile route instead of the 60-mile route. (The big hills may have factored into our decision…but only a little.) Our ride started at Lilac Ridge Farm in Brattleboro and followed mostly dirt roads through Guilford, Halifax and Marlboro with an epic descent back to Lilac Ridge Farm.
We have now completed 226 towns with with 25 towns to go. We're over 90% of the way there!

Currently listening to: Empire by Shakira
One complete first draft.
That's the goal I've been aiming toward since…oh, I don't know. Something like August 2014. In fairness, I was neck-deep in work on Songstruck for a while, but I've been more or less free of editing and publishing concerns for that novel since the beginning of January. So I have no excuse for my lack of productivity since then.
But I've been working on the sequel to Songstruck, and now I'm hitting a point on that manuscript that I once hit while writing Songstruck. I just don't feel like writing it. I know what I want to write. I know what scenes need to be trimmed that are already written. I know all of it, but I can't get myself to do it. I am on a deadline, though, and I've given myself plenty of time to reach it. My goal is to have the first draft of the sequel (which I suppose I can mention is to be called Stagestruck) finished by New Year's Eve of this year.
Why so far away? Well, first because in all fairness, I am busy. Graduate school is fairly demanding. Also, since I participate in NaNoWriMo, I manage to write a lot in the month of November. Around 90% of Songstruck was written in November of 2013. November is the part of the year where I am most motivated to write, no matter what other obligations I have at the time, because there is such a huge community of other people doing exactly the same thing.
I've also put the deadline there because I've found over the years that when I put myself on a deadline for a big project (like writing an entire manuscript), I don't meet it. And then I get frustrated and discouraged. Smaller goals, like getting Songstruck published on Christmas Eve (the goal was technically before the new year in general, not just before Christmas), are much easier to manage, because in cases like that, the bulk of the work was already finished. But if I tell myself that I need to finish the first draft of Stagestruck by, say, June 1? Life will inevitably get in the way, and I won't get around to finishing it for whatever reason. I don't like missing deadlines, but I also don't like giving myself goals like "type 30 pages by X date". And so I put the deadline somewhere I can certainly reach, for the whole completed project.
I'm sure others are just the opposite of me, and set smaller deadlines. Or perhaps you work better by setting a bigger deadline sooner, to push you to work on the project more? Or something else? Maybe some of you shun deadlines of any sort? Let me know!

Latest on changes to India nationals that cannot apply for Hong Kong visit visas at Chinese consulate anymore
Following from the new pre- arrival registration requirement for Indian nationals visiting Hong Kong on the, up to 14 days visa free scheme, that come into effect January 2017, with immediate effect, Indian nationals that require a visit visa to stay for more than 14 days will have to apply directly at the immigration department in Hong Kong. They can no longer apply at their nearest Chinese diplomatic and consular mission.
Visa issuance through the immigration department can take up to 4 weeks, whereas consular visit visas can normally be issued within 4 business days, which can cause a major inconvenience for Indian nationals travelling to Hong Kong on a 14 day business or tourism visa.

The popularity of outdoor activities in the Bow Valley area has led to an increased occurrence of significant sun damage, precancerous growths and skin cancer in the local population. Seeing this as a potential crisis, dermatologist Dr. Paul Lubitz of Canmore, AB has made it his goal to reduce those numbers.
How can this be done? By keeping everyone inside all the time? Hardly. Dr. Paul Lubitz of the Bow Valley Dermatology Clinic in Canmore, AB sees patient education as the key to reducing the risks of developing skin cancer and skin damage caused by the sun.
Because of these concerns, Dr. Lubtiz has chosen to structure his practice in Canmore, AB in a way that is different from the norm. Dr. Paul Lubitz makes a concerted effort to focus on patient education with every person who walks through his door. Dr. Lubitz also places a priority on seeing a low volume of patients because it gives him time to sufficiently examine and educate each and every person.
Just what does patient education achieve? Dr. Paul Lubitz answers: "Patient education and increased awareness help patients take a more active role in their health. This active role by patients is key to lessoning the instances of skin cancer in the Canmore, AB area and to reducing the severity of several other dermatologic diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne."
According to Dr. Lubitz, here are some ways residents can play it safe in the sun:
- Apply and reapply sunscreen. Dr. Paul Lubitz of Canmore, AB elaborates, "Wearing appropriate sunscreen when outdoors is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of skin cancer…other than staying out of the sun completely, of course. At Bow Valley Dermatology, we stress the importance of reapplying sunscreen every four hours when outside for prolonged periods of time and remind everyone to use it even on hazy and overcast days."
- Cover up. Long-sleeve shirts, and long pants can help guard against the damaging effects of the sun when prolonged sun exposure is inevitable. Dr. Lubitz adds, "Make use of comfortable clothes made of tightly woven fabrics that you cannot see through when held up to a light. These fabrics help to disperse the intense rays of the sun. Another good idea is to wear clothing made from fabrics actually designed to protect the skin from the dangerous effects of sun exposure. Several clothing, travel and outdoor activity companies produce these shirts, pants and hats with an SPF of at least 50."
- Wear a hat. "At Bow Valley Dermatology, we suggest Canmore, AB area residents wear wide-brimmed hats that shade face, ears, and neck," says Dr. Paul Lubitz. "If you wear a baseball cap, remember to use a high SPF sunscreen to protect the sides of your face, your ears and neck that are not protected with this type of hat."
Other ways to mitigate sun damage include wearing sunglasses, staying in the shade when possible, and avoiding the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Dr. Lubitz also encourages avoiding the use of tanning beds. "Sources of UV light such as tanning beds and sun lamps are dangerous and can damage skin in more ways than regular solar rays. There is good scientific evidence that clearly shows that the usage of tanning beds directly increases the risk of developing skin cancer. In this regard, there is a growing trend of governments in Canada and elsewhere to introduce legislation forbidding tanning beds to persons under the age 16 years old because of the known cancer risks. This is definitely a step in the right direction."
"Preventative maintenance is common knowledge as it applies to you car and can save a whole lot of hassle down the road," says Dr. Paul Lubitz of Canmore, AB. "Unfortunately, preventative maintenance is less common as it applies to the effects of sun exposure on your skin but just as critical as it is for your car. The simple steps outlined above can have a dramatic effect on the health of your skin and your life. At Bow Valley Dermatology, we want residents to take charge of their own health rather than waiting for problems to occur and we strive to educate them accordingly. We want them to act rather than react."
Through his on-going efforts at Bow Valley Dermatology, Dr. Paul Lubitz will continue to educate the residents of Canmore and the Bow Valley and hopefully will have a positive effect on reducing the incidence of skin cancer in the area.

Grave Mercy by Robin LaFeversI have read plenty of Middle Ages stories that take place in England. Authors seem to love writing the story of Camelot, Henry VIII, and Elizabeth very much. They are pretty dramatic stories that would naturally draw the nature of a fiction author. Plus, with a British heritage, I just get drawn in by the stories and their familiarity. I was intrigued when these stories took place in medieval France.
The research from those eras is very limited (hence its nickname of the Dark Ages) so this time period can be easy to abuse the facts since there is a lot to embellish. It is a section of literature that I enjoy but struggle to accept. We want to know what the life was like for these people who did not have access to our technologies. We have a certain craving to comprehend a lifestyle so far from our own (be it simple, rustic, uncomplicated, or dramatic depending on your personal spin). Robin LaFevers stays to the facts of her research through the background of places and chain of events but builds that curiosity of people and their motives. Plus, assassin nuns is just a cool concept.
There are parts of the story which stumble along. There are plenty of awkward moments that prove no matter how much research you do, you can't write what you don't know. The concept might have been perfect for the story line, but the reality just didn't come through the writing. I am also not sure I would package these as YA novels since murder, death, and luring men are some key covenants the nuns of St. Mortain live by. However, the female lead is strong and she is overcoming some very strong obstacles in life (oh, and she is 14 when the book starts which I did not recognize--often forgot--throughout the whole story because her character does not feel young in any way). The overall concept was good, the characters were strong, and I was opened to a new angle of history. I consider all of those wins for a good read.
I will give this novel 3 stars and happily move to the next story where we get to focus on events from Sybella's angle. (I anticipate a darker twist here.)

Stand With Billy Graham and Declare, "I have Hope for America Because of Jesus Christ"
"In [Jesus] name the nations will put their hope" –Matthew 12:21 NIV
If you live in the typical American community–with 100 average neighbors–here's the reality: 7 of your neighbors struggle with depression, even contemplating suicide; 7 abuse or are addicted to drugs or alcohol; 8 are struggling with unemployment; and 60 don't profess to know Jesus Christ as their Savior.
The picture is bleak, but there is hope. Jesus Christ can transform lives that are burdened with fear, insecurity, uncertainty, and pain and offer joy and peace, now and for all eternity. By signing this declaration, you stand with Billy Graham in proclaiming that our nation needs this Good News.
In November 2013, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) and Christians across the U.S. and Canada will host My Hope with Billy Graham, a massive media and friendship outreach, to proclaim the Gospel. Submit the form on the right, and we'll send you updates on this outreach and other ways we are sharing the lifesaving message of Jesus Christ.

The Truth About the Bible
I thought this was so interesting, I had to pass it along. Is the Bible the Inspired Word of God? By Jason Carlson and Ron Carlson, May 25, 2011
During a question and answer session at a recent speaking engagement, a university student asked me, "Why do you believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God?"
Now this is a very interesting question, and probably one of the most important questions any Christian could ask themselves. What is so special, so unique about the Bible that Christians believe it is literally the inspired word of God?
In answering this student's question, I encouraged him to consider the following facts about the Bible. First, the Bible is not just one single book. This is a more common misconception than many people ealize, especially with people who do not come from a Judeo-Christian background. Rather than being a single book, the Bible is actually a collection of 66 books, which is called the canon of scriptures. These 66 books contain a variety of genres: history, poetry, prophecy, wisdom literature, letters, and apocalyptic, just to name a few.
Second, these 66 books were written by 40 different authors. These authors came from a variety of backgrounds: shepherds, fishermen, doctors, kings, prophets, and others. And most of these authors never knew one another personally.
Third, these 66 books were written over a period of 1,500 years. Yet again, this is another reminder that many of these authors never knew or collaborated with one another in writing these books.
Fourth, the 66 books of the Bible were written in 3 different languages.
In the Bible we have books that were written in the ancient languages of Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic; a reflection of the historical and cultural circumstances in which each of these books were written.
And finally, these 66 books were written on 3 different continents: Africa , Asia , and Europe . Once again, this is a testament to the varied historical and cultural circumstances of God's people.
Think about the above realities: 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1,500 years, in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents. What's more, this collection of books shares a common storyline – the creation, fall, and redemption of God's people; a common theme – God's universal love for all of humanity; and a common message – salvation is available to all who repent of their sins and commit to following God with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength.
In addition to sharing these commonalities, these 66 books contain no historical errors or contradictions. God's word truly is an amazing collection of writings!
After I had shared the above facts with this student, I offered him the following challenge. "If you do not believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, if you do not believe that the Bible is of a supernatural origin, then I challenge you to a test, I challenge you to go to any library in the world, you can choose any library you like, and find 66 books which match the characteristics of the 66 books in the Bible. You must choose 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1,500 years, in 3 different languages, written on 3 different continents. However, they must share a common storyline, a common theme, and a common message, with no historical errors or contradictions." I went on to say, "If you can produce such a collection of books, I will admit that the Bible is not the inspired word of God."
The student's reply was almost instantaneous, he emphatically stated, "But that's impossible!"
It truly is impossible, for any collection of human writings. However, the Bible passes this test. The Bible contains 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1,500 years, in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents, with no historical errors or contradictions. The entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, bears the mark of Divine inspiration.
The next time you encounter someone who asks you why you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, try sharing this challenge with them. Better yet, don't wait until you're asked, just go ahead and share this challenge with a friend today. You don't even have to mention the Bible up front, just ask them if they think it would be realistic to assemble such a collection of books. After they say, "But that's impossible!" you've got a ready-made opportunity for sharing the truth of God's word with somebody!
In God We Trust.

Do I need any more shoes?
Well, no. I am half-shuddering in anticipation of what the reaction will be when the parents visit for graduation next week and peek inside my closet to see um, three or four dozen pairs of shoes. Suddenly, their questions as to where all those student loans went will be answered.
But. Are these not the loveliest wedges ever made? Truly, they are. I may already own three pairs of ankle-strap peep-toes, but those are flats, and that's a completely different thing.
Right? Yes.
Damn it, Marais, I do not have the funds to keep falling in love, and yet you keep seducing me.

Beautiful scent,unisex but little bit more on man side. It doesn't scream and stays close to the skin which is something I prefer. It is classy and sophisticated but I can see it on a someone younger. All year scent just not maybe during hot weather and all occasions just not maybe in sport activities. This is great site and I would recommend it to everyone.

Excellent scent. So soft and pleasant. Few hours longevity but perfect for dinners ot other occasions that do not need whole day lasting power.

|Football Buff, Kojo Williams
In the good old days, a company's mission statement was probably 'Make as much money as possible and keep the shareholders off our back'. Not any more it ain't. A mission statement is now much more complex. If you want to make a success of your employment, you have to know and understand the mission statement – and then milk it for all you are worth. Quoting the mission statement earns you brownie points if you make sure it looks as if you are really on the side of the company. If your boss doesn't support the mission statement, or considers such things as rubbish and not worth bothering with, then keep quiet about mission statements.
To understand the mission statement is usually quite easy – Walt Disney's 'To make people happy', Wal-Mart's 'To give ordinary folk the chance to buy the same thing as rich people' – but to really understand it, you have to read all the small print. For instance Disney's is quite simple but there is a whole lot more because they also have a 'value statement' which covers:
· No cynicism
· Creativity, dreams and imaging
· Nurturing and promulgation of 'wholesome American values'
· Fanatical attention to consistency and detail
· Preservation and control of the Disney 'magic'.
"To understand the mission statement is usually quite easy – Walt Disney's 'To make people happy', Wal-Mart's 'To give ordinary folk the chance to buy the same thing as rich people' – but to really understand it, you have to read all the small print"
If you can't find something here – assuming you work for Disney – to milk, you aren't worthy of calling yourself a Rules Player. Imagine what fun you could have with some of these. Imagine what power you would wield at meetings just quoting some of this. Someone suggests an idea you don't like, you could just say it isn't wholesomely American. Brilliant. It's like being part of the Spanish Inquisition – our chief weapons are... Amongst our many weapons are such diverse….
Some historical mission statements were very grand and could have safely been milked for all they were worth:
· Ford (early 1900s) – Ford will democratize the automobile
· Sony (early 1950s) – To become the company most known for changing the world-wide poor-quality image of Japanese products.
· Boeing (1950) – to become the dominant player in commercial aircraft and bring the world into the jet age.
· Wal-Mart (1990) – to become a $125 billion company by the year 2000.

Beach Cities Scooter Club President Melanie Cooper
This past weekend, Mrs. Jaycee and I, were out shopping and ended up having a really cool adventure. I was busy teaching this Double cheese burger a lesson, when we noticed a whole bunch of folks on scooters. Now, I've seen bike clubs, car clubs and motorcycle clubs but never a scooter club. Luckily, Mrs. Jaycee, had her trusty digital camera with her and my mouth was in good working order.
Mista Jaycee's favorite Scooter. The Morpheus! Sleek and Fast!
I approached the group which numbered over a hundred people and introduced myself. It was sunny, the air was mostly smog free and hell ,I'd never seen over a hundred folks on Vespas before. This ish was coooooooooooool! Anyone remember the Honda Elites back around 1986 and how big a fad they became? Even dudes were riding those.
So I first met a young dude wearing shorts and Doc Martins and I asked him about all the folks and what they were doing. Well, this is the Beach Cities Scooter Club and we are meeting up for a ride. He was kind enough to introduce me to the President of the Beach Cities Scooter Club, his Mom! So, I spoke with Melanie Cooper, the founder and President of the club.
Mista Jaycee: So, how did this come about?
Melanie Cooper: Well, I went to Meet Up.com and typed in scooters and well I started a club. Soon, there were others who contacted me and joined.
Mista Jaycee: Now, why a scooter and not a Harley or a Schwinn?
Melanie Cooper: I own a motorcycle, but this is Southern California, and nothing looks better than Southern California on a scooter.
Mista Jaycee: All these people belong to Beach Cities Scooter Club?
Melanie Cooper: No, there are several other clubs that have found us and joined us for today's ride.
Mista Jaycee: Cool! Who knew there were scooter clubs and all these people would get together? It just proves what me and Mrs. Jaycee say to our daughter. Get in where you fit in!

The Death (and Martyrdom) of Lady Gaga by Robert Wilson after Jacques-Louis David's 'The Death of Marat'
Experimental theater director Robert Wilson's recreation of The Death of Marat with Lady Gaga as the tragic protagonist. The portrait of the pop mega star by Wilson is one of six to be displayed at the Louvre in Paris starting November 11th .
N'ayant pû me corrompre il m'ont assassiné (Unable to corrupt me, they murdered me) is written on the makeshift writing table of this particular copy of the painting (there are several copies in existence) and also on Wilson's depiction of messianic Gaga's own excellent martyrdom.
The Death of Marat is a famous painting by French Neoclassical painter Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) of the French revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat who was stabbed to death in his bathtub in 1793.

Exhausts Wakefield
Exhausts Supplied & fitted in Wakefield while you wait.
We stock exhausts to fit the widest selection of cars and light commercial vehicles. Our prices are Low so there is no need shop around, oh and the service is very good too.
A healthy exhaust system is critical if you are to maintain the health and welfare of the vehicle occupants, a quiet smooth running engine and optimum fuel efficiency.
If you have any concerns regarding the health of your vehicles exhaust system then call in for a free safety check today.
We offer a free safety check on your system. Call for an appointment and we'll perform the exhaust check while you wait. You'll find our exhaust centre in Ossett, just two minutes from Junction 40 of the M1. We offer superior exhaust fitting in Wakefield and the surrounding area in West Yorkshire.
You can tell when you need fitting services. Your car will sound louder with an extra roar to it, even with the engine idling. This means your car exhaust system is corroded somewhere and a hole has appeared. Exhaust gases are escaping through the hole and not being processed through the exhaust silencer, hence the louder engine sounds.
The efficiency of your car is a critical balance that depends on everything functioning correctly. When your exhaust gasket leaks, or when a hole appears in your exhaust pipe or silencer, that balance is thrown out of kilter. Your car will consume more fuel, which will cost you a lot more, and it will start to produce noxious and dangerous fumes.
Exhaust fumes usually escape harmlessly out from the rear of the car, but when there is a leak in the system under the body, fumes can escape into the car itself. Carbon monoxide fumes are poisonous, so you owe it to yourself and your passengers to maintain healthy exhaust parts at all times.
The annual MOT test that cars are subjected to by law require your exhaust system to be in good condition. Don't wait that long to find out. We offer a comprehensive exhaust fitting while you wait, and you don't need to book in advance either. Our wide selection of exhaust parts will fit most cars and vans and our prices are ridiculously low. Call now for your exhaust fitting.

I bought the Gina Ford book yesterday and started putting it into practice today ( no time like the present/ don't put off today etc ...)
Since he was born, eight and a half weeks ago, Thomas has hardly ever slept laying in a crib/ moses or pram so we hold him most of the time. I have also been feeding him on demand as and when he appears to be hungry.
So today came as a bit of a shock for him - poor little man !!
Anyway, I really stuck to all the feeding times as this is something I can control. However, when I put Thomas down at the alloted times he wouldn't sleep. The longest he slept for was 20 minute and the longest I let him cry for before giving in and picking him up was 20 minutes.
My question is - how long is it OK to leave him crying when he wakes up shortly after being laid down ?
Also, could someone tell me exactly what controlled crying is and how I go about doing it.
I really want to get Thomas into a routine but just need to know I'm not letting him cry for too long. Today has been really tough and I've missed having Thomas asleep on me so much I could cry at the moment !! However, I keep telling myself that a routine will be really good for us both so onwards and upwards, as they say !!!
Any advice or stories to share would be very much appreciated

airline fees: comparisons
It's more than annoying, to say the least, to be assessed extra fees for checking bags, making flight reservations by phone, choosing a seat in advance and checking bags at curbside. Given the price of flights, more often than not, I feel I've been gouged.
But not all airlines are created equal.
Southwest Airlines actually is using its many freebies as an advertising ploy. It's even done the comparisons for us and put together a chart listing its own and its compeititors' fees. Get it at www.southwest.com
Southwest doesn't charge for bags, (unless you check three and then it's $25), lets unaccompanied minors fly without an extra charge, has free curbside check-in and no fee for changing a ticket.
I was especially annoyed at being charged $2 for water aboard a recent USAirways flight. But if I'd wanted a beer it would have been $7. Coffee, at $1, was the best deal since refills were free.
Continental is one of my favorite airlines, largely because they fly from Cleveland to almost everywhere I want to go. But they don't charge for curbside check-in, seat selection, beverages and snacks or meals on flights longer than two hours.
Last summer, when I flew Air Canada from Toronto to Calgary, I experienced a type of service that U.S. airlines might want to adopt. The meal service was built into the ticket price, at several different levels.
I also think the charter operator USA3000 is worth emulating. There's no charge for a checked bag, on-board movies and snacks are free. And there's a choice of color coded lunch packs available for $7. The one I chose included salami and cheese with crackers and was so generous in its servings, that I saved the dried apricots and nuts to give my husband when he picked me up at the airport.

It has been roughly 10 weeks since "The Professor" sent a Cease and Desist letter to the company I work for concerning content on one of our client's sites. We refused to bow to this individual's demands and that was the beginning of the harassment. At this point I count no less than 20 individual messages in my inbox. The Professor has called the company I worked for numerous times and asked the same questions and received the same answers.
The messages range from, 'Do it please, can't we be reasonable,' to 'Do it or I will contact your Dean where you went to college as well as the Attorney General in your state.' Somewhere in the middle this individual consistently asked how much money they had to pay to get this post removed. The fact that I find most interesting in this case is that had this individual simply accepted 'No,' for an answer the post he wants removed would not exist. That post was drafted after the individual failed to grasp the concept that they were not going to get what they wanted simply because they demanded it repeatedly.
I am still, at this point, refraining from identifying this individual directly with their name as that is the least I can do as a courtesy. My desire to be courteous may not last should this individual not CEASE AND DESIST the aforementioned harassing emails and phone calls.
I am not out to cause The Professor harm or damages and most certainly do not wish to do so, however, I also do not wish to be harassed. I do not want your money – no amount of money is going to cause me to remove the post you are working so hard to get removed.
I am willing to make only one concession. Listen closely Professor.
If the professor comments on this post that they will cease and desist aforementioned harassment [emails, phone calls, etc] I will unpublish this post and refrain from updating existing posts and creating new posts about The Professor, his actions, or the company he is associated with. So long as The Professor keeps his end of this deal I will keep mine, should he accept.
If the harassment continues, and I hope it does not, I will continue updating this post and/or making new ones and possibly revealing more information about this individual as permitted by law. Furthermore I can and will examine and execute the legal and criminal remedies available to me to end such harassment. I don't want to go down this route, so please choose wisely Professor.
The ball is in your court, Professor. I advise you quit while you are ahead.
Update – 07/22/15
It seems that Mr. Polletta desires to continue the email harassment. Within these emails he makes it clear he is going to continue his harassment by calling the company I work for and wasting more of our time.
No – I will not talk to you on the phone – please stop calling and harassing my coworkers. No – I will not accept some bribe to take down my posts. No – I will not take down my posts simply because you ask and/or demand it. No – I will not respond to your emails – please stop sending them.
Future email is going to be documented but discarded – it will go unread by human eyes. Your issue is with the webmaster of this site and that is me. If you want to talk to me – you can do it here in the comments.
Have a wonderful day Professor.

Blaklion gearing up for Aintree once again as Twiston-Davies celebrates upcoming 20th anniversary of first Grand National success
Wednesday, December 6, 2017 - The countdown to the 2018 Randox Health Grand National started today with a media visit organised by Aintree Racecourse to the stable of Nigel Twiston-Davies.
The £1-million handicap chase, by far the richest Jump race run anywhere outside of Japan, takes place at Aintree on Saturday, April 14.
Twiston-Davies is the only current trainer to have won the Grand National more than once. Next year will be the 20th anniversary of his first Grand National success with Earth Summit in 1998. His second victory came courtesy of Bindaree in 2002.
The stable's main hopes for 2018 are last season's fourth Blaklion - the 16/1 favourite with Betway, official betting partner of the Randox Health Grand National Festival – and Splash Of Ginge (50/1).
Blaklion went down by half a length to stablemate Bristol De Mai on his return in the G2 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on November 4, and is the 11/4 clear favourite with Betway for the £145,000 Randox Health Becher Chase over the Grand National fences this Saturday, Becher Chase Day, December 9.
Twiston-Davies said: "Blaklion has huge Grand National potential. He possibly went too soon last year and didn't quite get home.
"It was still a really good run and he did look the winner three out. We would probably ride him with more restraint next time.
"The run in Charlie Hall Chase looks very good form. There wasn't much between him and Bristol De Mai and the handicapper has not been too hard on him.
"Everything looks perfect for him in the Randox Health Becher Chase and, with a clear run, I would be very excited. I don't want to get too excited though as when that happens, something usually goes wrong! He looks a worthy favourite anyway.
"We will see how he goes on Saturday before making a plan. If he romps home, do we maybe start looking at him as a Gold Cup horse? I don't know.
"Gavin Sheehan rides him on Saturday. He is a good very freelance and rode at Wetherby because we had run out of jockeys."

Splash Of Ginge already has two prestigious handicap prizes to his name. He captured the 2014 Betfair Hurdle at Newbury and returned to form over fences last time out with a tenacious victory in the BetVictor Gold Cup at Cheltenham on November 17.
Twiston-Davies continued: "We will see how his next couple of races go, but Splash Of Ginge could be given a Grand National entry. John [Neild, owner] is a Liverpudlian and wants to have a go. Why not? He has had a bet and will win a million quid if he wins.
"Splash Of Ginge will go for the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup next week, provided there is some rain. If it doesn't rain, he will go for the Welsh National where it should be soft ground, which will suit him. Certainly over two and a half miles, he would need very testing ground. Over longer, he doesn't.
"Now that Splash Of Ginge has rediscovered his jumping, he could be a national horse. We put him back over hurdles to try and restore his confidence. He frightened himself over fences but has learned again that is isn't frightening. He won up at Haydock over hurdles and has been good ever since."
Before Splash Of Ginge ever raced, his charismatic owner John Neild had a £1,000 bet at 1,000/1 that his horse would win the Grand National during his career. Splash Of Ginge is now a 50/1 chance with Betway.
Neild said today: "The bet does not change our thinking about the Randox Health Grand National. I always say to Nige that you can't make the horse fit the race. He was out of form but seems to have his confidence back now over fences.
"Splash Of Ginge stays longer than the mother in law. He just needs his ground. We were lucky the other day to get it in the BetVictor Gold Cup when the rain came. If it happens to rain around the second Saturday in April, we will be there to have a go.
"Nige is one of those enigmas. I hope people realise and not when he stops training. Everyone thinks he is a maverick character but he isn't. He thinks everything through methodically and comes back to me with a plan.
"We have been more than lucky to have won what we have but if anyone can pull out a Grand National win with this horse, it is Nige."
Nigel, Willy & Sam Twiston-Davies join owner John Neild and Splash Of Ginge
Twiston-Davies will be well-represented at Aintree on Saturday, with Ballybolley andArctic Gold in the other race over the Grand National fences, the 188Bet Grand Sefton Handicap Chase, and G1 scorer Flying Angel set to tackle three miles and a furlong for the first time in £50,000 G2 188bet.co.uk Many Clouds Chase.
Twiston-Davies added: "Ballybolley and Arctic Gold will go for the Grand Sefton. Ballybolley is quite free-going but a very good jumper. I like him and it will be exciting to watch him around Aintree – he should hopefully eat those fences hopefully. Arctic Gold has not done as much as Ballybolley but is a nice horse and also a good jumper."
Flying Angel captured the G2 Kingmaker Novices' Chase over two miles at Warwick in February and enjoyed his biggest success to date in the G1 Manifesto Novices' Chase over half a mile further at Aintree in April.
The trainer added: "Flying Angel disappointed on his first run of the season [fifth at Newton Abbot] but was much better the other day at Ascot [fourth in G2 Christy 1965 Chase]. Now we are upping him in trip for the Many Clouds Chase and we hope that will bring out the best in him.
"Although he has won over shorter, we have always thought he could be a three-miler. You have to dream and he could be the next Bristol De Mai. He is exuberant and jumps well, and is pretty smart on his day."
Blaklion 40/1 for National fences double
Last year's Randox Health Grand National fourth, Blaklion, is 40/1 with Betway to become the first horse to land the Randox Health Becher Chase and Grand National in the same season.
The eight-year-old is the 11/4 favourite for Saturday's feature race over the National fences at Aintree, while Nigel Twiston-Davies' runner is also the current market leader for the National at 16/1.
Gas Line Boy is Blaklion's nearest rival in the Becher Chase betting at 15/2, ahead of last year's winner Vieux Lion Rouge at 10/1. Top-weight The Last Samuri is also a 10/1 chance.
The Grand National Festival's official betting partner, Betway, has both Native River and recent Newbury winner Total Recall at 20/1 for April's big race, with a host of 25/1 shots including Irish National winner Our Duke.
Betway's Alan Alger, said: "Silver Birch, Amberleigh House and Earth Summit all won over the National fences before doubling up in the Grand National, but surprisingly no horse has landed both the Becher and the Grand National in the same season.
"Blaklion is a warm order for Saturday's race at just 11/4 and also heads the National betting. With his sights firmly set on April's showpiece, a tasty 40/1 for him to win both races may keep punters interested for a little longer if he obliges this weekend."

Profile – Nigel Twiston-Davies
Nigel Twiston-Davies initially combined training as a permit-holder with his farming interests throughout the 1980s, having his first winner with Last Of The Foxes at Hereford on February 3, 1982, as a permit holder before the agricultural recession prompted him to make training his full-time profession.
He took out a full training licence in 1989, recording his first win as a public trainer on December 30 of that year with Babil at Newbury.
He has since gone on to register more than 1,875 successes, with his 1,000th winner coming at Stratford in October, 2006.
Born on May 16, 1957, Twiston-Davies rode 17 winners as an amateur under Rules and gained a further 17 point-to-point victories, and served as assistant trainer to Richard Head, Fred Rimell as well as spells with Kim Bailey and David Nicholson.
A childhood neighbour and friend of Peter Scudamore, he went into partnership with the champion Jump jockey to set up stables at Grange Hill Farm between Guiting Power and Naunton in Gloucestershire, although Scudamore has not been involved in the venture for many years (since 2003) and currently assists his partner Lucinda Russell.
Since 2009, Twiston-Davies' business partner and assistant trainer is former stable jockey Carl Llewellyn, who enjoyed two Grand National winners thanks to Party Politics in 1992 and Earth Summit in 1998.
Twiston-Davies adopted and developed the pioneering techniques of Martin Pipe, such as interval training and regular blood tests for his string, enabling him to rapidly raise his profile among the training ranks.
He is the only current trainer to have won the Grand National at Aintree more than once, saddling Earth Summit to victory in 1998 and Bindaree four years later.
He momentarily shocked Des Lynam after Earth Summit's success by telling the BBC TV presenter in front of millions of viewers "I don't do interviews". He trained Earth Summit for the six-man Summit Partnership, led by Nigel Payne, press officer for the Grand National.
The 2001/2002 campaign had been relatively quiet by Twiston-Davies' high standards before the Raymond Mould-owned Bindaree provided him with his second Grand National success.
Afterwards he revealed that he had been intending to give up training, but despite "having a bigger debt than Argentina" after buying out Scudamore, the Aintree victory made him have a change of heart.
The £145,000 Randox Health Becher Handicap Chase, staged at Aintree on Saturday (December 9) over the Grand National fences, has been a very successful race for the trainer who has achieved five victories with Hello Bud in 2012 and 2010 and on both occasions ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies, plus Earth Summit (1998), Young Hustler (1995) and Indian Tonic (1993).
He has also won this weekend's £70,000 188bet.co.uk Grand Sefton Handicap Chase, also over the Grand National fences, with Little Josh (2012, ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies).
Twiston-Davies has had 17 successes at the Cheltenham Festival, headed by Imperial Commander in the 2010 Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Other big-race wins include three Scottish Grand National successes, two Welsh Grand National triumphs, the Betfair Chase with Imperial Commander (2010) and the Betway Aintree Hurdle with The New One (2014), Khyber Kim (2010) and Mister Morose (2000).
His best season numerically was in 2010/11, when he enjoyed 97 winners, while he saddled 95 winners over jumps in 2016/17.
He has made a fine start to the 2017/18 campaign, with 40 winners (up to and including Monday, December 4) on the board already, headed by the success of Bristol De Mai in the G1 Betfair Chase at Haydock Park on November 25 and Splash Of Ginge in the G3 BetVictor Gold Cup at Cheltenham on November 18.
He had two sons with his former wife Cathy. The eldest, Sam, 25, is stable jockey to leading Jump trainer Paul Nicholls and still rides regularly for his father, but is out of action with an elbow injury at the moment.
William (Willy), 23, a successful rider on the Flat and over jumps, announced earlier this week that he will not be returning to race riding. He wants to work in bloodstock before becoming a trainer.
The trainer is married to Vicky and they have three young children, Poppy, Rosie and Ted.

Beckham: Good for MLS? For Humanity?
Early Becks reactions: Grant Wahl at SI says it's instant credibility for MLS, Americans immediately start naming their children Cruz, USA Today's Beau Dure gives incredible piles of links, and this guy at NBCSports is asking whether Beckham can save American soccer, which I guess is the question of the day but seems a bit odd. Of course, that guy also slays kittens, so what do you expect:
MLS was given a gift horse with Freddie Adu but completely dropped the ball. Adu's signing was the biggest thing, until now, to happen to MLS. He was an American wonderkid, as likeable and as marketable as they come. Instead of making him the face of the league, they buried him on the bench at D.C. United and buried themselves in the public consciousness. Think the Washington Wizards would have benched Michael Jordan when he un-retired because he might not have been one of their top five players? [Ummm, other names on 2001 roster: Hamilton, Whitney, Alexander, Lue, Davis, Laettner, Jones, Nesby, etc. - Ed.]
Hopefully, MLS has learned its lesson and David Beckham will become as familiar to the American public as he is to the rest of the world.
Shudder. Shudder again. Anyhow, many hardcore MLS fans, such as a Bog reader who just e-mailed, will take nearly the exact opposite approach:
MLS was bamboozled and outfoxed by the Beckham media machine. Don Garber you were played and now the world knows it. Think about what this does to current MLS fans and players. This is a slap in the face to every hard-working American player that keeps this league going by playing their hearts out game after game, season after season. How should Ben Olsen or Bobby Boswell (who while making league minimum scored on Chelsea) feel about this? Or Clint Dempsey? How will this improve league play over the long haul for those of us that already watch every game? After the first season all he will be is a constantly injured, over aged, has been that parties too much with the Hollywood elite. The MLS has not bought respect. This is a gimmick and like all gimmicks will come back to get us.
Then there's this guy, who manages to be both skeptical of the signing (like the hardcore fans) and dismissive of American soccer (like the wiseacre analysts):
And as for Major League Soccer? They're the ones who cut the check in order to make this happen, after all--how do they stand to benefit?
Well, they won't gain any more international respect, that's for sure. Everyone outside of America knows that Beckham is a has-been. They won't see a major increase in quality of play, as Beckham is only one man. Stadiums will fill up once each season as Beckham makes his tour around the league--but that won't pay back even a fraction of his outrageous signing fee. In the end, MLS will succeed for the same boring reasons everyone always cites: a growing Hispanic population, a media looking for the "next big thing," etc. etc. etc.
The real winner here is David Beckham--and whoever gets paid to be his American publicist. Nobody in Los Angeles knows that lucky man or woman's name...yet.
Well, anyhow, it'll be someone else for DCU fans to make fun of, so that's always nice. And it should also be a positive development for bloggers looking for public spectacles. Plus, I can't wait to see what Becks makes of the visitors' locker room at RFK.

Elmira "Hellmira",
In Memory to all of the CSA prisoners of war at Elmira.
I became interested in Elmira when I learned that my 2nd great-grandfather had died there. Well, I thought, many died in Union Prisons during the war. I wanted to know all about this place called Elmira, N. Y.. I will be transcribing all the microfilm for this page. Please check back often as there are many rolls. I also plan on having Ship Island, and New Orleans, La. records added to the site. If you have any information on anyone that was held prisoner by the Union please share it with me and I will include it on the web site if you like. Be sure and see the news article "Prison Experience in Elmira, N. Y."

text: Did anyone catch the way John "Just Shave It Already" Travolta introduced Idina Menzel? I had no idea who he was talking about until I saw her singing. Is he: purposely throwing her under the bus? Blind as a bat? Really that ignorant of popular culture that he doesn't know her name? He needs to issue an apology — stat. I really think he kind of caught her off guard.

People often ask me why I drop so many f-bombs in my writing. "This is not appropriate when filling out your child's application to attend school at this academy," they'll say. Waaaaah-fuckin'-waaaaah. Besides, it's not my fault. I'm just easily influenced by popular culture.

Just ran across the site. I've got a '72 Mach 1 that will be getting a restomod as soon as I finish up the '89 open track Foxbody that is occupying my time (and shop).
I've owned the '72 for ten years, purchasing it barely running and rebuilding the motor, transmission etc to make it into a driver. Have been driving it on weekends every since.
One afternoon I put together an EFI system from spare parts I had lying around from Fox and SN95 Mustangs and burned a chip to make it run. Amazing being able to reach in and turn the key and it runs perfectly.
Other cars are a '07 S197 that runs 12.50's (wife's) and my daily driver '95 GT that runs 11.0's.

Good afternoon, Oracle Database Security Professionals!
I was tasked to investigate a Schema that had direct access to some tables it had no business having. I was told to remove this direct access. Should be a quick easy task, right?
- I looked at the user's permissions with SQL Plus. The user had no direct access to any of the tables I was told it had access to.
- I created a user with the create like function in SQL Developer DBA View.
- I logged into my new user and ran the following query:SQL> select * from all_tables where owner in ('Schema_1′,'Schema_2');Wow! My new user had access to all the tables my customer told me it had access to. I thought about public synonyms but that would still require access to the table. I even tried to revoke access to one of the tables. Got something along the lines of "Can't revoke a privilege that is not granted by Grantee". I am a SYSDBA. How can I not revoke?
- Next, I looked at Grants on the individual table…
What's this? Who is PUBLIC? Well, PUBLIC seemed to be granting access to this table to any Schema or User that can connect to the database. I was quite correct in my assumption. After confirming with the customer, what I did next was to revoke these table privileges as SYSDBA.
SQL> revoke all on "SCHEMA"."TABLE_NAME" from "PUBLIC";
The statement below also works but would require 11 steps instead of one.
SQL> revoke SELECT on "SCHEMA"."TABLE_NAME" from "PUBLIC";
Finally, I went back to my created user to confirm:
SQL> select * from all_tables where owner in ('ODS','DOC');
no rows selected
Now that is what I expected. I never knew there was a way to grant public use of objects in Oracle. Now I know. This may be news to some of you as I seem to be constantly learning what I don't know about Oracle. The bottom line is, be careful of what you grant to PUBLIC.
Thanks for reading!

So I made a list of things I'd like to do or get done this year. I'm determined to not be doing all of them in December of this year… But instead spread them out over the year.
So I missed a month… I've been trying so hard to just keep up, I decided some things could wait till I had time to think. The past 2 months have seen a lot of allergy flares, which besides being annoying and uncomfortable, also leaving me wiped out since my body's using all it's resources to freak out about some allergen… So I kept up with the important stuff!
1. Paint at least 2 rooms this year.
I do believe I have picked out almost all of my colors! Whoa! I'm preparing to start coloring soon…. 🙂
2. Start doing yoga regularly.
I made it to yoga with my friend! Only once, and then allergies got crazy, so I haven't gone again yet. But it was a lot of fun, and I will totally go again soon!
3. Write 1 letter of encouragement every month.
Owe 7 now…
4. Make sushi at home.
No sushi at home this month.
5. Organize my closet- lose the things I don't wear, get new things I can and will wear.
A couple more things removed this month…
The big excitement of recent is when I suddenly started reacting quite severely to all my bras. All of which have underwires… So there began a frantic search to find nickel free ones, and get them shipped to me.
So while I wasn't planning to add anything this month… There was a change of plans! I've been very happy with my Rosa Faia bras by Anita. I've been wearing them exclusively for almost a month and my skin is almost healed and back to normal! I still have some bumps on my back where the hooks were, but they are fading finally.
6. Make time for fun/hobbies. Find new ones I like.
We went camping! It was the first time out to our favorite spot with the camper…. It was a little wet and damp for part. But the view is never bad… 😉
And we hung our hammocks in our great room. I've found it to be an outstanding place to use for everything. The location is great. I have a delightful woven hammock, and it breathes better than a chair, so my skin is always happy!!
How's your lists and goals coming?

Why MidlifeTravel.com?
When I was looking at taking to the road again on a long trip with no return air ticket and no strict timetable, I naturally turned to the Internet. As I started to research the trip I found I was sifting through a lot of information directed at "gappers" who where 20+ years younger than me or "snowbirds" or "greynomads" who where 20 years older than me. This site is the result of that research at is designed for the people in between – the mid-lifers that is the 30 ish to 50 plus age group who have the opportunity to travel but are not quite sure how to go about it. Or who want a career break and are not sure where to start.
Most travel blogs are written people by people 20 years younger than me – they have their point of view – but I do think I do travel differently than I did in my 20's. This site is about balancing this out. This site includes trip diaries from long before there was an Internet and much more recent material. Trip reports are fun but I also try to write far more focussed articles – so you can get real information if you – for example- want to undertake independent travel in Ireland.
Maybe you've travelled previously but have outgrown the 20-person single sex hostel dorm scene. You want good value for you travel dollar, pound, euro but are happy to NOT want to share your room with anyone except your significant other and you do want air-con if the overnight temperature is above 30C.
You don't want to go on a package but don't want to hang with the 20-something drinking scene. Concerned that 30 or 40 or 50 or is too late for you to do anything but book the bus tour or maybe a cruise ?
This is the site for you This is where you will find information on the adult gapyearer how to be a mid-life nomad and budget travelling for the over-35's. Maybe you have a career a partner a house a cat. How can you drop out for a year? Do you want to take the road less-travelled but don't know where to start?
Do you know what the hardest part of long-term traveling – arriving in the middle of the night without a reservation? – no; trying to understand the local transit system in a foreign language? – no; eating alone in a restaurant? – no. The most difficult thing – is making the decision to go. Deciding to leave the comfortable, comfortable work to live lifestyle and getting on that first flight – its all easier from there on ! However its not that easy to find the information you need to know before you leave home. Lots of guidebooks and web sites will tell you what to see and do when you get there, but for many people the big thing is how to leave in the first place.
Life is more complex when you are older – leaving the apartment, moving your stuff back to your parent's place and selling the car may not be an option any more. Do you sell your house ,rent, leave it empty? What about your investments and other financial obligations?
