"I wish I had words to express my gratitude to you and your staff for the level of care you give my son."
- Michelle
I wish I had words to express my gratitude to you and your staff for the level of care you give my son. Unfortunately all the words I can muster seem inadequate at best. Your care and devotion to what you do changes people's lives and your passion for children builds the future for all of us.
Thank you for all you do!
"I feel that our lives are richer now for all the love, care and devotion we received while with Day Nursery of Abilene."
- Sophie Rodriguez
I can also remember being a DNA employee and parent leaving my daughter Adria in the infant room at DNA on Palm Street for the first time. Mrs. Olivia Rivera was there with open arms and heart ready to take her so I could get my day started. I knew in my heart she was in the arms of an angel. What I didn't know at the time was how important it would be for myself and my family to have Day Nursery in our lives. My daughter learned so much from all her teachers at DNA and to this day remembers the little things from field trips to the tornado drills we use to have. My daughter Adria is 20 years old now and it seems like only yesterday she was in the bye - bye buggy waving at us. I feel that our lives are richer now for all the love, care and devotion we received while with Day Nursery of Abilene. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to Becky Dixon, Olivia Rivera, Cookie Hawkins, Candy Swanner, Rosie Silva, Sheena Alonzo, Sophie Pena, Becky Norgan and other teachers (I know I missed some of Adria's teacher because I couldn't remember them all) who had a part in raising Adria and helping to make her the loving and caring person she is today.
"DNA has exceeded any expectations that I had and is by far the most exceptional facility that we have experienced."
- Tina Alders
I would like to begin by regretfully informing you that Destany and Clayton Gift will not be attending Day Nursery after this school year ends in May. Unfortunately, the assistance that I have been getting to help with their expenses expire the end of the month and I am unable to pay the full amount charged and still make ends meet. With that said, I would like to also make sure that everyone involved in Day Nursery is aware of the extraordinary staff and school-ready program that ya'll have at the Vine St. campus.
I was under the impression that all day care facilities mandated by the state were held to the same standards and, as a result, were all the same. I have been proven wrong in my thinking, because DNA has exceeded any expectations that I had and is by far the most exceptional facility that we have experienced. My daughter attended a different daycare during her pre-school year and while she is very bright and intelligent she has struggled this year in kindergarten because she was not prepared (playing was the majority of their day). I will tell you that I have been amazed at the differences that I have seen with Clayton, who is in the DNA pre-school program. I have made copies of Destany's homework for Clayton to practice on and there have been several occasions that he has completed the work better and faster than she has. I wish that I could go back and give Destany the same advantages that Clayton has received through your program.
Thank you for creating a loving, caring, and regimented learning environment.
"As a parent; it does my heart good, to hear from my 4 year old daughter - Daddy; I love school."
- Eric Lund RN
I just wanted to say "you're welcome" — regarding your thank-you note. It was my pleasure to serve you. I think very highly of you and your organization. You probably don't hear that enough. As a parent; it does my heart good, to hear from my 4 year old daughter "Daddy; I love school." — Or "Daddy I love my teachers!" I really don't like leaving my daughter any place; but at your facilities — I don't have a care in the world — because I know she is looked after well. Your staff is wonderful (THANK-YOU!).
"My husband and I believe that Luke's success is due to the staff at Day Nursery."
- Dinah Miller
When our son, Luke, started at Day Nursery three years ago, he was behind in his developmental skills. At two years old, he was not talking and was unable to feed himself. Our pediatrician suggested we enroll him in daycare. We chose Day Nursery because it was convenient, the staff seemed very nice, and for the diversity. As a first time mother, it was very difficult for me to leave Luke in anyone's care. The staff at Day Nursery never made me feel insecure and they always helped put my mind at ease. They were all very patient and helpful.
Luke's first care giver at Day Nursery was Renea. She was so wonderful with him. She made sure to get him involved with the other children and in all activities. Every day she would give me updates on his progress. When he would show big signs of improvement, not only was Renea excited but the whole staff couldn't wait to tell me.
Today, Luke is a happy, well socialized four-year-old. His developmental skills and social skills are right where they should be. His current caregiver is Shondreal. She is a wonderful asset to Day Nursery. She has great rapport with the children and the parents. She is great about telling me what my son is doing well and also lets me know areas that need improvement. She truly cares for each child and wants to see them succeed.
My husband and I believe that Luke's success is due to the staff at Day Nursery. The front desk staff has always been friendly and courteous. Luke's caregivers have always been kind and caring. The kitchen staff also has been wonderful. It takes all of these people working together to make a success story come true.
"He was obviously well cared for and loved. Victor spent his early years at DNA and had many positive learning experiences."
- Noreen White, Program Director, Betty Hardwick Center ECI
I remember like yesterday how I felt on that autumn day when I left my son Victor in the infant class at DNA Ash St. center for the first time. He was only 6 weeks old and I was nervous about leaving him. Ms. Mary told me not to worry about him and to have a good day, as she took him in her arms and gave him a warm smile and a little hug. I wondered if my son would be ok without me for eight whole hours! When I arrived at the end of the day, I found Victor happy and content. He was obviously well cared for and loved. Victor spent his early years at DNA and had many positive learning experiences. He was cared for by a variety of nurturing caregivers, but it was Ms. Mary's reassuring smile that I will always remember. She was still in the infant room when Victor, now a Cooper graduate, stopped by the Ash St. center to visit. She gave him that same hug and a smile just as she had first done almost 18 years ago. Thanks to Ms. Mary and the DNA staff for the love and the hugs!
"It is astonishing as a mother to listen to what he has picked up and the new vocabulary he has been taught for the day."
- Annie Smalley
As a parent education is very imperative, so I am writing this letter in regards to the opportunity you have presented my son. He is currently enrolled in Day nursery of Abilene on Sherry Lane, and a teacher has been sent to the school to enhance our children's learning abilities. Ms. Kay Cromwell has been working closely with the students every day from 1-4. I have noticed a major improvement in his speech. He is now able to make full complete sentences. He has learned to count, the different colors, and the names of shapes. It is astonishing as a mother to listen to what he has picked up and the new vocabulary he has been taught for the day. What is taking place within the time frame she is allowed to be there is helping to form his mind for the future. Her hard work and effort allows us to constantly challenge Michael and show him that learning is fun. Thank you once again for the opportunity to allow Ms. Kay Cromwell to teach my son.
With Much appreciation, Annie Smalley
"I knew they were in loving hands, in a positive environment, and getting exceptional care."
- Melinda Roberson
Day Nursery of Abilene is more than a Day Care! I could not have made it without Day Nursery of Abilene! It was not like I was ever dropping my children off at day care. It was a special place for my children to go. I never had to worry about them. I could take them to their class and go on to work and concentrate on my job.
Day Nursery of Abilene is just something you want to be a part of. It's fun and a wonderful experience for kids. We were with Day Nursery for ten years. They have excellent opportunities for parent involvement and are very involved in the Abilene community. Parent meetings on informational topics such as fire safety and obesity in children were also available. The Elf Extravaganza when kids and parents come and make art and crafts that they can take home was a great opportunity for the kids to show off their "artistic" abilities.
Day Nursery of Abilene taught my children manners, table manners, and how to act on field trips, etc. They were also taught colors, shapes, ABC's, letters, numbers, and counting. Both of my children even learned to count to ten in Spanish! The children were also taught songs, sharing, and how to interact with other children. Day Nursery caregivers also work with babies on communicating and signs. Structure and scheduling is also of prime importance at Day Nursery of Abilene.
Child development is a primary goal of Day Nursery of Abilene. They know what a child should be doing and work with them until they are able to do it. Day Nursery taught the basic fundamentals that all children need for the rest of their lives.
"Knowing that my son was happy, safe, and well cared for gave me the peace of mind I needed to concentrate on school."
- Priscilla Rayford
As I mentioned, I couldn't have made it through ACU without the assistance of Day Nursery of Abilene and its caring staff. As a young mother and college student I had very little money. When my childcare assistance ran out, the staff of Day Nursery of Abilene was able to arrange for me to pay based on my income which was very little. The ladies at the Ash Street Center (especially Mary in the baby room and Jewel in the toddler room) provided excellent care, taught me what to look for in a growing child, and took us under their wing. I have fond memories of his time there and warmly greet any of the ladies whenever I seem them.
"Day Nursery of Abilene provided my boys with valuable educational opportunities, but just as important allowed them to flourish as great individuals!"
- Mindy Patterson
As a working mother, I trust and depend on Day Nursery to take care of my children's physical, educational, and emotional needs. For over 13 ½ years I have had at least one child enrolled at Day Nursery of Abilene. They are our "family" and care for each of my boys as if they were their own. During difficult times, Day Nursery has been an inspiration to keep spirits high. It is a great comfort to know that my children are being cared for by the best caregivers in Abilene. Day Nursery provides tasty, nutritious meals and snacks for all children. And they sing praise before each meal. The educational experience has put my boys steps above when entering kindergarten. Even my now three year old can write his name! My boys learned valuable educational things, but just as important, they have flourished as great individuals!
"Day Nursery has been a partner in the process of raising our boys and we are grateful to them."
- Dennis and Kim Tarrant
We first took our oldest son, Troy, to Day Nursery Ash Street Center when he was 2 years old because we were dealing unsuccessfully with a biting problem at our former daycare center. Within 2 weeks, Ms. Jean had Troy cured. We are convinced she is an angel sent from Heaven. Not only did she teach him appropriate behavior in social settings, she showed him affection and love while guiding him. That gave us reassurance that he was well cared for while we were at work. His transition into kindergarten was made easier by Day Nursery staff and their commitment to teaching children, not just caring for their needs. Now he is almost out of high school and doing well. When the Cedar Street location opened in downtown, we transferred Troy there for convenience to our jobs where he formed some lasting friendships. Later, Troy's little brother Clay joined him. Every day, we were greeted with smiles and the staff told us stories of the boys' activities, good or bad. When you are a working mom, it is such a thrill to hear about the kind of day your children had. We were always pleased with the cleanliness of the facilities and the way the staff bent-over backwards to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied our boys were okay. Day Nursery has been a partner in the process of raising our boys and we are grateful to them.

Accidentally put old gas in a near empty car
I have a 2008 Toyota corolla ce. My
car was pretty much on e so I
grabbed a gallon of gas from my
house to make sure I could make it
to the gas station. Just so happens
that I realized after I put the gas in
the car that I grabbed the wrong gas
can (the one full of gas a few years
old) my car began bogging down and
then it turned off. Started it back up it
began doing the same. I put gas in
the car (about half way) I begin my
way down the road again car bogs
down cel came on and blinked twice
before the car stopped. After
slamming on the gas to start it I
managed to limp it home but had to
keep the Rpms at or above 3000 and
had to turn over drive off. The car will
bog down randomly then shoots off
once it gets the Rpms up other wise
it won't accelerate and shuts off. I've
since put fuel treatment in (has
octane boost, stablizer, and water
removal) hasn't made much of a
difference. Is there another problem
that I need to address or do I need to
try a different approach? A friend has
suggested that I may need to change
the fuel filter? The car is an
automatic and has been maintained
perfectly. The cel has remained on
the entire time

Wow, those pictures sure help.
I've got very similar cable, and I need a webcam. It's got no stiffness, though, and no insulation between the center cables (2 of) and the shield apart from the cotton wrap, so it is very soft. I may be able to find something similar. The problem is that all other similar wire doesn't 'sound' as good as this. Quieter, but somehow harsher... |

Coax Or Balanced Cable ?....
Sounds like you are using balanced microphone cable - two inner wires (usually red and white) with some kind of packing (cotton, silk or polyester threads) surrounded by a braided screen and outer soft rubber sheath.
If so the usual way to wire this cable is to use the inner 2 wires as signal conductors, and the shield/braid grounded at the amplifier end. Eric. |

I used to buy relative cheap cables, solder my onw patch clabes tec etc but ..
the plugs would break, the solderflux would corode the conductor, the thing crackled make noise etc etc... then .. (one smart day) ....... I decided to buy a expensive guitar cable.... (about 30 dollars ?) that was the last time I needed to buy a cable..... about 2 years ago .. still use it ... still outperforms any cable I have ever owned.. never broke... it is one of those cables with plugs that you can't open, or re-solder.. with heat-shrinking tube around it Buy one ... I think it is worth the money gr, Thijs |

Re: Kewl!! And a Q about Guitar cables.
Hi Sangram,
I also solder my own cables, and so far almost all my wiring is "DIY" . I've never come across any noise trouble with my cables, beside some hum, but that was always about grounding trouble. In first place of course it depends on how well you solder (OK, I don't think that anyone posting on this forum hasn't at least rudimentary soldering skills ). If you mess it up, i.e. overheat everything, the plug and the wire you use can be damaged (depending on the quality). Quote:

this confirms what mrfeedback said
this cable from Gotham Audio Cables has that conductive layer
and an inner insulation of PE for mininizing of capacitance A cable also very well suited as Phono Interconnect, as a connection between CD-player and Pre-amp, for example http://www.gotham.ch/gac/datsheet/gac_1.htm It is called GAC-1 |

Check your plugs, make sure they are not shorting out at all, I had this problem with some old guitar lead I had... cut the ends off, resoldered it and now it is fine...
You might want to check the condition of the plugs AND also the sockets they plug into- maybe they are loose/corroded... It is unlikely the cable itself is at fault! |

Cool, thanks for all the replies guys.
Due to the time difference I have managed to read all of this this morning, I will go back and re-check. mrfeedback: I am using exactly that, low-noise balanced microphone cable. I have also managed to get the connections wrong. I am pretty sure noise is caused by tapping the cable itself, or flexing it. The connections into the plugs are clamped so tight an ant could not urinate into the gap. That I'm sure about. What I'm not sure about is whether the sockets are loose, that I'll check again. I have made about six such cables and though I love the sound the noise is pretty irritating, specially at performance volume levels, they're OK for practice though. I have however got the connections wrong, so I'll do some resoldering. I've used both the inner wires for the 'hot' and the shield for 'ground', I'll have to separate them. No major problem. I pride myself on making solder joints that outlast the equipment they're used on , so I doubt my soldering skills (?) are the problem. Anyway the cables are clamped after they are soldered, and there are springs at the end of the plugs to give strain relief. As far as I remember, The problem happens whe the cable is flexed at any point. tschrama: The cables you get in India are $3 cables (or maybe $5, if you want the extra-long ones) which are not high-quality stuff in the first place. So, I don't know If I can get a good quality cable. Bob: Do you mean capacitance? The noise I get is by tapping or flexing the wire, and it sounds like that: Like I'm flexing or tapping the wire. Actually, it's kinda hard to describe, but it almost sounds like the crackle of old and dusty LPs. That's the closest I can get. ShiFtY: Thanks for the advice. I'll triple-check my connections. halojoy: Thanks. I do not have access to foreign currency so buying stuff from outside my country is still a pipe-dream for me. So Gotham is a little out of the window. |

"Thanks. I do not have access to foreign currency so buying stuff from outside my country is still a pipe-dream for me. So Gotham is a little out of the window."
India is too big country to be left out. If you want to reach potential customers there are a few over there in your neighbourhood. Sweden has 8 million people. 2 distributors in India are listed at their homepage I thought you should check it out. Prices is in Rs, whatever that is? Of course you have some alternative manufacturers to choose from. |

Back when the TSA first introduced its 3-1-1 rules for carry-on liquids, an IndependentTraveler.com staffer named Ashley inadvertently tried to bring a large, expensive bottle of shampoo through airport security. When the TSA officer threatened to confiscate the shampoo, Ashley returned to her airline's counter to check her bag. The line was long, and she was in danger of missing her flight. She begged a nearby airline staffer to let her skip to the front of the line; he refused. Only when Ashley started to cry did the red-faced airline worker begrudgingly allowed her to bypass the line.
She made her flight with minutes to spare -- but the airline subsequently lost Ashley's checked bag. Says Ashley, "If I had known how much trouble the whole thing would be, I would have just forfeited the shampoo."
When it comes to packing, a small mistake like putting a prohibited item in your carry-on bag can snowball into a messy chain of events. Fortunately, travelers faced with similar packing problems don't have to rely on tears to save their vacations. Whether you're dealing with a confiscated item in the security line, a surplus of souvenirs, a nasty spill or a broken bag, a bit of packing emergency know-how can mean the difference between a disaster and a worry-free getaway.
Packing Problem #1: Airport Security Confiscates Your Prized Possession
If a security officer finds your five-ounce bottle of designer perfume and removes it from your carry-on bag, is it lost forever? Not necessarily.
We don't recommend arguing with a TSA officer over something easily replaceable such as a jumbo-size tube of toothpaste, but if he or she confiscates something that has value to you, politely ask if you can take the item away from the checkpoint. If you're lucky and the officer says yes, here are your options:
If you're certain you have plenty of time before your flight takes off, you can go back to your airline's check-in counter and either check your carry-on bag or ask to have the prohibited item placed in your checked luggage. Keep in mind that you will have to wait in line at the check-in counter and at the security checkpoint all over again, so you may need an extra hour or two before your flight is scheduled to depart. There is no guarantee that the airline staff will be able to help you out, so don't return to the check-in counter unless you have time to spare; otherwise, you may risk missing your flight for nothing.
If you haven't checked a bag and you drove to the airport, take your item to the parking lot and place it in your car. Again, be very aware of how much time you have, especially if you've parked in a lot that is a lengthy walk or ride away from the airport. You will have to wait in the security line all over again.
Did someone drop you off at the airport? If he or she is a very good friend (or someone who owes you a favor), give that person a call and ask him or her to turn the car around. Promise to bring your helpful friend a souvenir from your trip.
4 Packing Mistakes You're Probably Making
Packing Problem #2: Too Many Souvenirs
Many of us forget to save a little extra space in their suitcase for souvenirs. Others only travel with a carry-on, which means that some souvenirs we might purchase, like liquid-filled snow globes, may be prohibited past the airport security checkpoint. With no room in your bag for anything larger than a postcard of Tuscany and only a carry-on in which to cart two weeks' worth of clothing, how do you get those bottles of pricey Italian merlot back home?
Many travelers ship souvenirs back home -- especially large or fragile things like handmade Moroccan rugs or Waterford crystal. A reputable shop that caters largely to tourists (and sells big and expensive items like furniture) will likely ship your goods back home right from the store. However, without shipping insurance or a tracking number, you have little control over the fate of your purchase.
A second option is to mail the item yourself. We recommend using major international shipping companies like UPS and FedEx as opposed to a local post office because overseas postal services (especially in developing areas) may be unreliable. Be sure to get your shipment insured and write down a tracking number!
Your third, probably cheapest option is to pack a squashy, foldable bag that takes up little room in your suitcase. A soft duffel or zippered tote bag will work. If you end up with a mass of bulky souvenirs, you can unfold the extra bag and check it at the airport. Although you may end up paying a checked-bag fee for an extra piece of luggage, this might be a more economical way to cart your souvenirs home than paying for international shipping, which is not cheap. Wrap some T-shirts or sweaters around any breakable items.
Packing Problem #3: You Left (Insert Essential Item) at Home
As you're pulling up to the airport, it hits you: You've forgotten your cell phone charger, raincoat, guidebook, wallet or some other item that you need or want to use on your trip. Don't panic. Have you forgotten an item of clothing or an electronic device? It's time to think positive and maybe even treat yourself to something new at an airport shop if you're feeling upset. Or be brave and go on without your favorite possession. (You may even be better off finally breaking your smartphone addiction!)
We probably don't need to tell you to turn the car around the second you realize that you don't have your passport. But if you've arrived at the airport with only a few hours before your flight, not enough time to get home and back, and without proper identification, you're going to miss your flight. If you're traveling to any international destination, there is no way you're getting on a plane without a passport.
So now you've missed your flight. You still have a chance to save your vacation. Stop crying -- everyone is staring. First, go to your airline's check-in desk and try to get on the next flight. If you're already on your way home, pull the car over and call your airline. Airlines' policies on missed or canceled flights vary, so you may find a sympathetic ear or you may end up paying full price for a new ticket. For more information on what to do if you miss your flight, read 4 Common Travel Disasters and How to Prevent Them.
Packing Problem #4: Your Luggage Breaks
I've never seen a suitcase explode in the middle of the airport, although I've often envisioned this scenario after stuffing my rectangular bag so tightly that it ends up in the shape of a ball. We live in reality, as opposed to an animated cartoon world, so the worst thing that could happen to your overstuffed bag is probably a broken zipper, which may or may not produce a gaping hole with your underwear hanging out. Are you no longer carrying a suitable suitcase while traveling? Here's what you do:
Proper preparation is the best way to handle this situation; duct tape should be at the top of your must-pack list. But if you forgot your trusty tape and your bag has a gaping hole, find some tape! Whether you're at the airport or you've already arrived at your destination, search for shops that may have or sell tape, find help at your airline check-in counter, talk to your hotel concierge or even ask around to see if any fellow travelers have some duct tape to spare (someone will, trust us).
A broken bag is the perfect opportunity to use those arts-and-crafts skills you learned in grade school. Is your zipper tab broken? Hook a paper clip through what's left of the zipper (ask any store cashier for a paper clip if you don't have one). If the situation is dire and your bag is non-functional, ask a store employee for some plastic bags in which to pack your things until you can get to a place that sells luggage.

Packing Problem #5: Something Spills All Over Your Stuff
One good thing about the TSA's 3-1-1 rule is that it forces travelers to store their carry-on liquid items in plastic bags, thereby preventing any spills from staining sweaters and dresses. But your checked bag may be a different story. If you neglect to pack your liquid items in plastic bags or to bring a travel-size stain remover (which you should always do), the rough-and-tumble ride from check-in counter to baggage claim may result in punctured plastic containers or broken bottles.
Is your favorite cashmere sweater slathered with costly face cream? Stay calm. Your clothes may or may not be ruined, depending on what has spilled and how long it's had to set in. Heat sets many types of stains, so don't dry your damaged clothes with a hair dryer or use hot water on them. If possible, bring your clothes to a professional cleaner. Or, if you're staying at a hotel that offers laundry service, ask the staff to clean off your clothes. You may have to purchase one or two new items so that you don't go naked while your clothes are being cleaned (but who doesn't love an excuse to shop?).
Travelers who are in developing countries or places where there are no dry cleaners should roll up their sleeves and get to work. Don't have access to a stain remover product or detergent? First, flush the stain with cold water. Dab, don't rub, so that the stain doesn't spread. Dab stains with white vinegar, a great natural stain remover, or use dishwashing soap diluted with water, which effectively removes most stains (ask the hotel kitchen staff if you may borrow some vinegar or dishwashing liquid).
Before you submerge any stained item in a basin of water, press a towel against the stain to make sure that it doesn't easily come up; if it does, it could color the water and stain more of the fabric. Dry sweaters and delicate pieces by rolling them in clean towels and then hanging them on hangers or the shower curtain bar.

text: Even today Esther Ofarim leads a very secluded life in Hamburg and she needs no mobile, fax or computer to keep in touch with the world. She is a very vivid person, a book full of stories. But she keeps her own stories for herself. She prefers to fill the lyrics and the music of poets, pop musicians and traditional authors on stage with all her great passion and emotion. This makes her repertoire absolutely timeless in the sense of an independence of trends and tastes. In a review about a concert of Esther Ofarim A. Haase writes: "It was the unpretentious beauty of the evening that brought her the great applause and the almost frenetic enthusiasm of the audience." (Frankfurter Rundschau 31.1.2005) At the end we were lucky finding out about a concert that she gave in November 2003 in the sold out radio hall of the NDR in Hanover together with the NDR Pops Orchestra conducted by Peter Herbolzheimer. The concert has been digitally recorded and Esther Ofarim and Peter Herbolzheimer knew each other for a long time – just remember her legendary appearance together in the TV show Bio's Bahnhof in the 1980's. A meeting of legends at Tropical Music? In all cases it was a very vivid meeting. The 66 musicians of the NDR Pops Orchestra weaved a wonderful soft and clear carpet that made Esther Ofarim's voice very present. She switches between genres and styles singing Jewish lullabies alongside with well known tunes from Kurt Weill, Paul McCartney and Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. Two names – one orchestra. The NDR Pops Orchestra is one of the most important philharmonic orchestras in Germany. Based in Hanover, it celebrated in May 2000 its 50th birthday, and it is known for its vast repertoire, that reaches from great symphonic oeuvres to the so called music of entertainment (Musical, Scores, Operetta) and also to contemporary music. Also Jazz and Pop music is a part of the orchestras programme and it can be heard since 1998 in several crossover-productions, when it met with stars of the international Rock and Pop scene. Close to the American counterpart like the Boston Symphony Orchestra for instance, which made itself a name as Boston Pops, the NDR Pops Orchestra is one of the few orchestras of its kind in Europe. It worked for instance with Patricia Kaas, Herbert Grönemeyer, Bobby McFerrin, Al Jarreau, Ray Charles and Randy Crawford as well as with Lionel Richie and Xavier Naidoo. Esther Ofarim's musicals director Yoni Rechter from Israel took also part in the production as piano player and arranger in most of the pieces, like he did in all the concerts of her during the last years. On her various internet-fan-sites the great admirers of Esther Ofarim are keeping a record of all her songs, concerts and recordings. They will be very happy to know that her great hit Morning of my life which she sang for the last time in 1969 is part of the programme in Hannover. It needed a bit of persuasion to convince her to perform the song and it remains for the moment the only tribute to the 1960s in her timeless, but not out of time repertoire. The journalist Dieter Bartetzko, whose review in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung was the impulse to this CD release, wrote: The international career of Esther Ofarim started many years ago and it is far away from being at its end. Now she is "BACK ON STAGE". Let's see, what will follow. Click here for your copy of Esther Ofarim's CD Back on Stage More info on Esther Ofarim |

The sound of those frogs is sooooooooooooo much like spring. Kind of like running water. Can't wait to hear it here! It won't be long.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, the frogs are lovely (my cat cames into the room and was listen... - - - )
Beautiful helleborus!
By me the white helleborus already blooms all winter, the pink begins in the spring, this variety is also called "Lenzrose" (springrose)
Your hellebores are beautiful. I miss the variety of plants from living in a climate like yours. I'm glad I get to see them here. (BTW, the LTTL link should be fixed, it was an error on my part... Sorry.) I wish the lightening was better in out house. I think I would have little stages everywhere too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know about the link...
I don't have any sort of curtains up in my house and I think that really helps with the lighting. Unfortunately we have so many gray days here so the lighting isn't always good.
We had one bare window and I agree the lighting was so much better. Unfortunately the summers are killers and we had to put up blinds to keep the heat out, hmmmph! I think I pouted for days.

Full Product Description
The book provides a psychological perspective on key aspects of human nature and behaviour drawing on recent research and reflect on the issues this raises for theology and ministry. The aim is to introduce theology students, those studying practical theology and those engaged in ministerial formation or ministry to the significant current research in psychology which will deepen understanding of some of the core aspects of human nature. The interdisciplinary nature of the exercise aims to model the benefits of such an approach for both theology and ministerial practice and as such the book aims to cross traditional boundaries. The objective is to introduce the reader to new fields of academic psychology beyond those of counselling and psychoanalysis, dated personality psychology and the popular psychology which is often referred to in publications in the area of ministerial practice and enable the reader to engage with recent psychological research and developments.
Human Being by Jocelyn Bryan was published by SCM Press in January 2016 and is our 42279th best seller. The ISBN for Human Being is 9780334049241.

Banya Bashi Mosque (Bulgarian: Баня баши джамия, Banya bashi dzhamiya; Turkish: Banya Başı Camii) is a mosque in Sofia, Bulgaria. Its construction was completed in 1576, during the years the Ottomans had control of the town. The mosque derives its name from the phrase Banya Bashi, which means many baths. The most outstanding feature of the Mosque is that it was actually built over natural thermal spas. One can even see the steam rising from vents in the ground near the Mosque walls. The Mosque is famous for its large dome and the minaret rising upward to the sky.
Currently the Banya Bashi Mosque is the only functioning mosque in Sofia, a remnant of the Ottoman rule of Bulgaria that lasted nearly five centuries, and is used by the city's Muslim community of 8,614 out of 1,170,842.

God bless the person who invented this. The strap provides just enough oomph to enable someone with mobility challenges to get in and out of their vehicle.
- By Jo-Chesed Kuhlmeyer
My mother and sister both have severe arthritis and have required total knee replacements. They have difficulty getting in and out of any vehicle. I ordered the Auto Assist Handle (and the "Auto Assist Grab Bar") for my car to see if it would help them. My 82 year old mother said it was the easiest she'd gotten out of a car in years. We liked them so much that I then ordered another of each for my mother's car and the Auto Assist Handle for my sister's car. Now I don't have to transfer them back and forth between vehicles. Your car must have a metal frame over the top of the window when you open your car door for this to attach to.
- By S. Bergey "ICU Nurse"
I highly recommend this product...makes gettting in and out of the car much easier for my 98 year old Aunt.
- By Marci Browne
Yes – It fits all car doors with a full-frame around the window.
Yes – the window can be rolled up and the door can shut properly once installed.
No, because of the downward forced used to stand out of the car, the car door will not swing towards you.

Use Time::Local to convert the dates to 'seconds since epoch' values, sort them, then use localtime or gmtime to convert back to a human-readable format. This assumes you want the dates sorted chronologically, and not by month or day number... Or does that count as a 'Date Sort' module? ;-)

coil bucket
I have a '95 Bronco. I want to seperate the coil bucket from the shock mount since they are one piece. I want to do this so I can run a much longer shock. I thought of using buckets out of later model Bronco/F150s but I believe the spings are different and would not mount right. Has anyone do this or maybe made their own?

Weekly Photo – Bora Bora
I spent two days in Bora Bora with my friend Amanda, and even though it was stormy almost the entire time, it was still gorgeous. There were colorful flowers all over the islands, and women wore them in their hair. Our over-water bungalow is in the background.

Barrasford is a village in Northumberland, in England. It is situated to the north of Hexham, on the North Tyne.[1] Barrasford is an ancient village that lies within the shadow of Haughton Castle. The village is notable for being the location of a Bronze Age burial site where The Reaverhill Dagger was excavated in 1964. Today Barrasford is noted for its quarry.
A forgotten community which existed for more than 50 years on isolated moor land in Northumberland has been brought back to life in a major heritage project. The Newcastle upon Tyne and Northumberland sanatorium opened in 1907 on the moors above the neighbouring villages of Barrasford and Gunnerton. It treated victims of tuberculosis at a time when 60, 000 people a year were dying from the disease in England and Wales and the annual mortality rate in Newcastle alone was nearly 600.
Fresh air and high hopes as donors tackle the TB scourge. The scourge of tuberculosis lent urgency to the need for action in the North East. In 1902 a subscription fund was set up to finance the building of a sanatorium to treat patients. William Watson-Armstrong, who became Baron Armstrong after the death of his great uncle Lord Armstrong of Cragside, gave £4000 – equivalent to £350, 000 today.
In 1974 Barrasford was the setting for the "Affairs and Relations" episode of Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?.
Barrasford is in the parliamentary constituency of Hexham.
Barrasford was served by Barrasford railway station on the Border Counties Railway which linked the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, near Hexham, with the Border Union Railway at Riccarton Junction. The first section of the route was opened between Hexham and Chollerford in 1858, the remainder opening in 1862. Awdry, Christopher (1990). Encyclopaedia of British Railway Companies. Sparkford: Patrick Stephens Ltd. ISBN 1-8526-0049-7. OCLC 19514063. The line was closed to passengers by British Railways in 1956. Part of the line is now beneath the surface of Kielder Water.
Notable people[edit]
Geoffrey Rippon - The village was for many years the home of Cabinet Minister Geoffrey Rippon who had responsibility for negotiating Britain's entry into the Common Market.

Obama planning military attack on Iran with GCC nations - Panetta in Riyadh ~ link ~ The plan to go to war with Iran and Syria and Hezbollah/Lebanon and Gaza/Palestine has been operational for some time. They are simply 'working the problem' at this time; doing PsyOps against the 'enemy' and the Western population; weakening Syria day by day; etc. We are in a time when Satan and his lackeys are running amok, cooking up the largest and most horrific war in human history at a time of global economic collapse. The lackeys, always fools to the core, believe that they will get their New World Order. In reality they will simply get admission to an eternal stay in Hell. Satan's time on this planet is almost over and he is determined to destroy as much as possible of the human race and all life on this world as possible in the short time he has left. Stirling
Foreign mercenaries attacking Presidential Guard compound in Damascus suburb - British commando reported in Syria ~ link ~ Also see ~ link ~ Closer and closer to the abyss we move, day by day. And most sheeple are too 'out-of-it' to understand how this will effect and perhaps terminate their lives. Stirling
Unconfirmed first reports from British, French
and Turkish sources say British special operations forces crossed from
Turkey into northern Syria Tuesday, May 26, and advanced up to 10
kilometers inside the country. The same sources report heavy fighting
around the Presidential Guards compound on the outskirts of Damascus.
military sources note that this compound exists to defend Bashar Assad's
presidential palace on Mount Qaisoun overlooking Damascus.
'Furious' Turkey mobilizes troops and tanks on Syrian border - with video ~ link ~ The Turkish military mobilized large numbers of reinforcements from its
eastern provinces to the Syrian border on Tuesday, amid rising tension
with Damascus, after the downing by Syria of a Turkish Air Force jet on
Friday, Turkish media reported.
Downed Turkish jet pretext for new provocations against Syria ~ link ~ When you think about it, this is another example of the globalist use of the Hegelian Dialectic: Problem, Reaction, and Solution. They caused the "problem" by deliberately flying a couple of RF-4Es in a big loop pattern near the Syrian waters in the eastern Mediterranean, then sent them hell-bent for a Syrian anti-aircraft emplacement flying low and fast going into Syrian airspace as an aerial attack would. Now we have the "reaction" phase, NATO "concern", US/allied leaders comments about Syrian aggression, increased Turkish "defensive" measures, stirring up the Turkish population. Soon, after something else happens, we will have the "solution", crossing the Syrian border. That is when ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOSE. Stirling
Led by the United States, the major powers have issued a series of
bellicose statements and threats after Syria shot down a Turkish F4
Phantom jet that had entered its airspace. Backed by the Obama
administration, the Turkish government has taken actions that mark a
major step in the direction of all-out war.
Turkey's downed jet: NATO action in disguise - with video ~ link ~ Actually the "defector" was most likely a loyal Syrian Air Force Col. whose family was taken to Turkey by the foreign mercenaries who took over his village (I express this theory the other day on this blog). I believe that he may have used an old IFF code or the Syrians were smart enough to change the IFF code. Some air forces change these codes daily. Stirling
The Turkish military jet's incursion into Syria may have been a
botched NATO operation on counterfeiting Syrian military aircraft ID in
order to fool the country's air defense. The necessary codes could have
been "borrowed" from the Syrian fighter that had been stolen by its
defector pilot.This theory, explaining why the Turkish
reconnaissance plane entered Syrian airspace before being taken down,
was voiced by Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, which cited
unnamed sources in the Syrian security forces. Syrians believe
that the Friday incident has its roots in last week's defection of a
Syrian pilot who escaped in his MiG-21 fighter jet to Jordan. Damascus
branded the defector a traitor, while Jordanian authorities gave him
The defection brings memories of a similar incident that
took place in February 2011, when two Libyan pilots "delivered" their
military aircraft to Malta. NATO's bombing campaign, which ended with
the fall of the Muammar Gaddafi's government, started just a month
after. Military analysts note that, curiously, the Libyan air
defense systems appeared to be helpless against NATO's air strikes. The
explanation may lie in the friend-or-foe systems that the two stolen
aircraft had onboard, the newspaper suggests. This system is used by the
military in combat to distinguish their own aircraft. According
to the newspaper, the Syrian military believe that NATO took a similar
approach again, but failed to properly decipher the codes. This is
evident by the fact that the defector pilot managed to send his family
to Turkey before stealing the fighter jet, which means the act was
probably not done out of a sudden emotional breakdown.
The Israeli Endgame in Iran ~ link ~ Interesting article but it ignores the entire MAD concept of strategic warfare. Iran's religious leaders will NOT allow their rule and their nation and their society and their religion to be destroyed without 'returning the favor' to their enemies. That is why they have invested over 20 years and massive sums in their Advanced Biowar Program. They already have a MAD (mutually assured destruction) counter-force against Israel, the GCC states, America and NATO in their Advanced Biological arsenal and like any nation with such a force that is threatened with annihilation by its enemies, they are well prepared to use it if necessary. America, France, Britain, Russia, China, Israel, India, Pakistan, and other nations have such a force based on nuclear arms. Iran has the "poor man's nuke" recombination DNA genetically engineered advanced self-replicating bioweapons that will have a 'kill level' very similar to that of all-out global strategic thermonuclear warfare. That this is not stopping the insane drive to war with Iran is symptomatic of the real nature of the globalists/Netanyahu Zionists drive towards war, it is spiritual in nature...spiritual as in evil dark demonic...not rational in its nature. Stirling
Turkish Prime Minister vows to help "liberate Syria from dictatorship" ~ link ~ Bought-and-paid for globalist war whore! Stirling
Netanyahu ready to hit Gaza if "Truce" is broken ~ link ~ Dear old Bibi 666 Netanyahu is always ready to kill, especially to kill women and children trapped in the Gaza Strip open air prison. Stirling
Please note that Israels use of force in the last 60+ years trumps any violence on behalf of the segregated refugees by far. I am not condoning any violence, but the western media
has traditionally framed the issue in a certain way that is not accurate
to the actual facts at hand.
Images of "Palestinians" throwing rocks, while the Zionist army
drop bombs and white phosphorus gas, comes to mind. Let us also not
forget the dilapidated conditions the Gaza strip has been left with and
the fact that the Israeli police state restricts travel making it hard
to live for everyday Palestinians. The State of Israel is big on "Never Again", which I guess only applies to "them".
T West: Syria's shooting down of Turkey's fighter jet ~ link ~ Turkey claims this was a "routine" test. However, it is highly unlikely
that Turkey routinely tests its fighter jets on the path this jet
travelled. If so, where is the evidence? Turkey claims its plane's entry
into Syrian airspace was only "momentarily". It only takes a moment to
bomb a facility where Syrian government leaders are located.
Geographically, Turkey is a large country, much larger than Syria,
and it has plenty of space in which to test its jets without flying over
or near Syria. Syria had every right, under the circumstances over the
past year, to shoot down any foreign jet encroaching upon its territory
at a high rate of speed and flying low. It is well known that low flying jets are sometimes more difficult to
detect by radar. If Turkey and its NATO friends were testing Syria's
ability to detect and eliminate such flights, they have learned the
answer. However, they already knew that Syria's air defense system was
more than capable of detecting such aircrafts under those conditions.
Why then would they send a jet into Syria's airspace?
Turkish Fighter Aircraft: Making some sense ~ link ~
Predictably, Turkey has reacted to the
destruction of one of its aircraft with stupidity and cowardice and
predictably, the western leaders have jumped at the chance to up the
stakes in an internal conflict in Syria which they are aiding and
abetting by providing terrorists with weaponry. Through Turkey.
If anyone has acted responsibly since
the start of this conflict, it is the Syrian authorities and conversely,
if anyone has acted irresponsibly since the beginning, it is those who
are openly Syria's enemies, namely NATO in general, which includes
Turkey and as usual in particular, the FUKUS-Axis (France, UK and US).
Meanwhile Nato has expressed its condemnation of Syria's attack as well as strong support for Turkey.
Top four EU/Eurozone leaders demand a political/fiscal union OVER national governments ~ link ~ This is the usual method of operation of the Rothschild led Global Banking Cartel: The Hegelian Dialectic - that is you create a Problem, and the Reaction, and then the Solution. When it was the "Solution" that you sought all along, the rest was simply the methodology to drive the masses to accept your latest scam. Stirling
European leaders have drafted a radical plan to turn the 17 countries
of the eurozone into a full-fledged political federation within a
decade in an attempt to placate the financial markets by demonstrating a
political will to save the single currency in the medium-term. The incendiary proposals for a banking, fiscal, and economic unions
resulting in a "political union" are to be debated at an EU summit on
Thursday and Friday. Following two bad-tempered meetings of European
leaders in Mexico and Rome over the past week, the Brussels summit looks
likely to see major clashes over the future of Europe as well as the
immediate crisis surrounding sovereign debt, bad banks, and the euro's
The seven-page document,
obtained by the Guardian, has been drafted by the "gang of four" — a
quartet of European presidents: Herman Van Rompuy of the European
Council, Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank, José Manuel Barroso
of the European commission, and Jean-Claude Juncker of the 17-country
Don Coxe: Get ready, banks to collapse in Europe ~ link ~ Today 40 year veteran, Don Coxe, told King World News "...the amounts involved are at mind-boggling levels," in terms of what is needed for Europe's governments and banks. Coxe, who is Global Strategy Advisor to BMO ($538 billion in assets), also said that European banks, "...have
borrowed huge amounts of money, in dollars, under currency swap
arrangements," and "if banks start to go down, we know from 2008, when
banks start to crumble, then the whole system falls." Here is what Coxe had to say about the ongoing crisis:
Brace for Turmoil in Global Markets as Spanish Domino Falls ~ link
One in five UK families admit that they are 'living on the edge' ~ link ~ Just wait, it will soon get much worse! Stirling
Frightening research published today shows that 20 per cent of
families are struggling to cope financially while another two-fifths are
"just getting by".
The survey by think tank Centre for the Modern
Family shows people are being battered by increased living costs and
falling wages.
Using the Trans-Pacific Partnership to expand NAFTA and strip national sovereignty ~ link ~ Both Canada and Mexico have been invited to join the U.S., along with
other countries already engaged in negotiations which will deepen trade
and economic ties within the Asia-Pacific region. Such a deal would
surpass NAFTA in size and scope.
The U.S. led talks which have been criticized for their secretive nature, could be used to update aspects of existing trade pacts among member nations. This would provide the perfect opportunity for a backdoor renegotiation of NAFTA without officially having to open it back up.

China's addiction to birth planning ~ link ~ China deliberately forces mothers to kill their unborn, even late term, babies. There are few more evil things that any government can do to its citizens than that. Stirling
Recently, the sad case of Feng
Jianmei roiled public opinion, both inside and
outside China. Feng, a young woman living in a
rural corner of Shaanxi province in northwest
China, was bullied into aborting her pregnancy in
its seventh month. A family member took a terrible
picture of the mother lying in a hospital bed with
the stillborn fetus beside her and posted it on
the Internet. Global shock and revulsion ensued,
and the Chinese government dispatched municipal
officials to issue an apology to Feng.
This is business as usual for the People's Republic of China's (PRC's) controversial birth-planning system. The central government fixes birth policy, the localities go too far in enforcing it, abuses occur, are reported and in some cases remedied.

Whistleblower: TSA Deliberately hiring psychopathic criminals - with video ~ link ~ This is similar to what the Communists under Lenin and Stalin did. They hired the worst criminals they could for the secret police in order to terrorize the population. They, Lenin and Stalin and the communists, were bankrolled by the Global Banking Cartel, just like Obama! Stirling
A TSA supervisor turned whistleblower has revealed to the Alex Jones
Show how the federal agency is deliberately directing its staff to hire
people with criminal records who exhibit violent tendencies and
psychopathic behavior.
Explaining how his job involved filing reports on other TSA screeners
who didn't follow procedure, "Rob" expressed his alarm at the fact that
criminals were being hired who exhibited the behavior of "psycopaths." "We have a program in the state of Rhode Island where we take
prisoners who are out for non violent drug offenses and everything else –
basically sociopaths – and we're sending them to a ten day course and
getting them out in uniform out checking people," said the

A 34-year-old Iraqi War veteran is facing ten years behind bars after

The Truth Behind The Energy Lie - video ~ link ~ There are many free and low-cost energy technologies, as well as many cancer cures and other medical technologies, that have been keep off the market by the globalists. Someday, future historians will write of the almost unbelievable level of evil done in the last hundred years by a relatively small group of very evil people. Stirling

'UFO' at bottom of Baltic Sea cuts off electrical equipment within 200 meters ~ link ~ The divers exploring a 'UFO-shaped'
object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea say their equipment stops working
when they approach within 200m. Professional
diver Stefan Hogerborn, part of the Ocean X team which is exploring the
anomaly, said some of the team's cameras and the team's satellite phone
would refuse to work when directly above the object, and would only
work once they had sailed away. He is quoted as saying: 'Anything electric out there - and the
satellite phone as well - stopped working when we were above the object. 'And then we got away about 200 meters and it turned on again, and when we
got back over the object it didn't work.'

A new epidemic is sweeping the country. Some people call it ADHD, scatter brain, or brain fog. Some simply say they just don't feel like themselves - and haven't for a long time. People are thinking and feeling worse than ever. Why? Because our brains are not getting the support they need to produce the essential brain chemicals that keep us energized, calm, focused, and inspired. In fact if you look at the way most of us live, it's almost as though we've chosen a lifestyle deliberately intended to undermine our brain chemistry.
Fortunately there is a solution. The Brain Fog Fix is a three-week program designed to help you naturally restore three of your brain's most crucial chemicals: serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol. Rebalancing these three brain chemicals will, in turn, enable the rest of your brain's chemistry to reach optimal levels. You will find yourself thinking more clearly, remembering more accurately, learning more quickly, and unleashing the floodgates of your creativity. You will also find yourself feeling more optimistic, calm, energized, connected, and inspired. The good news is that this is easier than you think. Instead of trying to ambitiously overhaul one aspect of your life entirely with some difficult-to-maintain resolution, begin by making small and achievable changes in many different areas of your life.
"If I've learned one thing from the thousands of people I've treated, it's that you have to take the whole person into account if you want to think and feel better." (Dr. Mike Dow)

"Excellent Information"
If you plan to follow the advise in this book, you will want a written copy. If you just want the information, this is an excellent source.
"Too many inconsistencies..."
I love health books like this, and at first, it seemed pretty great. Wonderfully narrated, written with easy-to-understand explanations, and (mostly) scientifically sound. Even though I know most of the content discussed in this book, I enjoy listening to anything that helps motivate me to take better care of my body and my brain. But right from the get-go there were inconsistencies that left me scratching my head. In one sentence, the author tells us that we shouldn't eat albacore tuna because of the high mercury content, and that a good/easy rule of thumb is to stay away from farmed fish and go primarily with wild-caught. But then when he begins listing out the top fish that we should always be incorporating into our diets on a regular basis, that list contains albacore tuna (at the top of the list) and several farmed fish. That left me scratching my head and feeling uncertain about the message of this book. Granted, it's a small piece of it, but when that red flag goes up and flashing lights cause me to pause in confusion, I have a hard time getting back into it. The book is excellent for someone who is unfamiliar with the latest studies about good fats, low glycemic foods and eating healthy for gut and brain health. But if you've already got a fair amount of knowledge under your belt and are looking for some in-depth, solid information based on scientific studies and unquestionable research, this probably isn't the book for you.
"Great book
One of, if not the best and most vital information I've ever acquired. My deepest thanks. I'm great full.thank you.
"Doesn't work in audio format"
This book spends several hours building up to a 3 week, day by day eating plan, which promises to help you clear your brain fog. When it eventually gets there, the chapter is 70+ minutes of repetition, which you're unlikely to remember in one go. To reference the plan you'll either need to save many bookmarks in the chapter, or write/type out the information. Either way it will take you some time. The book comes with a pdf download, in which the plan could have been included. Whatever the reason for not doing this, it was a big oversight.
The information in this book is interesting, although the author cites a lot of studies, again none of which can be referenced in audio format without killing the flow of the book.
This is possibly the only one of my 200 audio books that doesn't work in this format. Save your money and buy the paper or e - version.
i was in a bad place ,a friend of mine told me about this book,it's the best thing
I've done for myself in a long time, I've a new outlook on life now,my mood, sleep, diet,and brain are back on track ,I feel great. thanks
