But it is normal light and its made for city. I mean why else i would put it there? For parking of course.and its not blinding anyone so its looks fine too for people who might walk pass. Its not perfect in dark times via my tinted window i cant see nothing via rear window but for mirrors its so much better. Now i parking with seeing where i actually drive lol
And of course in bush . well for stationary light in bush wpuld be better one on roof rack i guess.
I like how those leds like invisible there. Because if you standing behind car you wont see them. And same reason they not blind you or anyone. They could blind if you low enough for it to catch you.
But more powerfull bulb in reverse light would blind more. Of course its not for mot to pass. But i made my driving much safer now as i see more.
Now if i put reverse cam in back it would make image so good there even at night. Would be perfect light for camera. Just i dont like to puy any extra screens for cameras inside car. So must think what i could use for that. Get some aftermarket stereo with screen that would show cam views. Or get some wireless camera that i could see with my phone or tablet maybe. Thats for future and best thing would be to put 4 cameras . why go less if they so cheap you could have surround view.
The way you fitted the lights to the rear of your car is great and i believe it won't bother anyone unless they're driving a go kart lol
but i don't think my forester will hide the lights as well as your outback,
it will be visible from any driver behind me so i will require a switch
As for your 4 camera idea, not sure if you've looked into dash camera's?
as some come with 2 camera's?
the rear camera you position where you like and the front camera is built into the unit with a screen?
if not i would look into a small reverse camera screen mounted either on the dash or in the glovebox and then you would just need 4 x 12v cameras, and a 12v 4 channel video receiver of some sort im guessing......with a way to select from each of the 4 different video inputs ?
i see no problems to put reverse light where you want it. on bumper, under bumper or inside bumper, or on side of license plate. why you think its something wrong ?
i just dont do it yet because im not going so much at night in bush . but when i will start cuting rear bumpers and stuff then who knows what will happen haha. things might get crazy there. so what somebody gonna call police ? lol im sorry officer , yes, this man just blinded me with his reverse light ,yes so why you was looking at it ? ...
as for cameras i mean something like that
and they put 4 split screens on one screen image . would be great. just they made for parking again. and i wouldn't need that for parking but just for fun i mean you go into bush or mud or thight places and you wanna see what your front wheels doing , so with that you could see. just purely for fun for me at least. i don't need any help with parking yet thank you. would be cool if you could record video from hose 4 cameras as well.
i gues you ment those kinda stuff. yes they much more cheaper but i don't need that screen on my windshield
ideally would be 4 wireless cameras you put where you want and get split image on phone or tablet and record them as you want and such. like 4 go pros but mini versions
best that they didint need any extra space as they would be rear view mirrors and screen in one as those.
just full screen would be nice
more you look more stuf you find in internet
in case you would want to look at passenger or i duno something else
found similar as this locally . and screen area is 4.3'' which is not bad maybe and it looks like normal mirror

lol I dont think somthing wrong
By having the reverse light on a swith i dont need to engage reverse to turn light on ,
i can turn it on myself so i could use for camp lighting, or to see if my rear will clear a tree or rock.... while going forward.
like i siad... i like yours , but you have a different car so bumpers different
i like the idea of the camera system you put up
looks awesome, just need to be able to record with it and yout set!!!
Ohh sure make switch. Or turn ignition on and put on reverse. Haha. If i had roof rack id put separate lights on it from all sides on switches for bush.
I think to make reverse light on switch its complicated you need to make switch just before light in the end. And then how car ecu would react that your rear light is on.
for my car a Switch is the best idea
like i said if i want camp lighting or if i wanted to use the rear lights while moving forward at all then your idea wont work, best way for me i think is to engage the light manually
no no its not that hard, the hardest part would be laying the wire from where i want the switch to the rear lights, I would get constant power from my rear 12v socket
everything else is plug and play
just need some wire, a fuse, and a switch, put it all together and you have lights that work with a switch... seperate to the cars lighting.... running off the battery.
For my bigger led bars i use a relay and connect directly to the battery, but for the small ones you and I have it shouldnt need that.
you should get a roof rack & basket! then you could put heaps of lights!!!
I would put separate light for that. Less troubles.at least mostl ppl do that. Its easy to put there just one wire and other just take ground . its just need long wire from led to switch. Same as if you would put rear camera.
Easy method would be just make switch near light then no need do much. But you need to activate it like from trunk or something. Like overlanders do in their cars. As i saw they put separare lights for bush and you allready have roof rack so its easy put couple lights on rear roof rack. I want roof rack too. Thinking make it myself from tubes. Saw many examples. Simple roof rack best. Maybe make it modular even so it could be just flat if i need or with extra modume if i need to put bags there or something . then just put 1 or 2 leds on rear 1 on each side and something for front . and they could have just 3 switches or 1 switch with 3 or 4 positions.
Yes relay needed. And i have second battery in trunk . would be nice to make some connections so it could charge there. Now was couple times that i used main battery too much so i couldnt start car anymore so i just connected that second battery . its almost new still and its fully charged now just sits there for when it would be needed.
Then again my car living on street. So not best thing to put many stuff on it for view. Could bring trouble if someone would like to take my led bars. So one reason i wanna its stay as much original look so that its not catch eye
starting new year with nice drive to forest and relax before work
not much of a winter when its +8 outside, but what can you do. less salt on roads at least.
bought 2x 48w flood leds
now wonder where would i put them. can connect instead fog lights on fog lights cable and switch as i remove them with bumper cut.
should be nice result if not put them too close to each other as they are flood ones.h
to put them as that is bad as main light goes like on center car. one light on center would do similar result i guess. or at least turn them to sides then
so then testing. put them on original antifog light place. at least for now. that was easy just put there, then took connector from original antifog too and just used that on new led light. i tried to move light with hand in total darkness and see how its afects and how much its lights. so if it would be on bumper not under it maybe it would make some more light in front but really not that much . and they not best looking to put them on bumper in front. not sure that i would wanna do that. so testing. most impressive is when in some forest narrow road with trees on side. then its just wow. when road open its gives much more on sides. because i turned them more to sides too. why keep them in front there low beam doing job. so on sides they just great.
yes its not ideal place i can hit them with something or scrap if angle would be steep. but maybe i could move them more back. well will see more testing later
from top both low beam+LED , then just low beam and lowest is just LED. and they Flood light.
in pictures all its more brighter. in reality just low beam is pretty dark and scary alone in forest. pictures makes all more bright. so go from that dark with just low beam to that super bright with LED its really amazing.
and because its sits one 1 bolt so i can turn it if i need like all over to side completely. for now they turned little to sides. so they not looking at front.

Without a shadow of a doubt, THE hottest girl I have ever seen! Perfect rack, curvy hips, pretty little pussy. Amazing!
Pretty face, beautiful body and fabulous titties. Nothing more required for a wonderful lovemaking.
hi, this lady is very nice she give nice massage with sex. I love it.
Rita is absolutely an awesome.masseuse. I would choose her over every other babe for a massage.
Wow. I was disappointed at first -- that this was a one-sided "massage". But then this guy just impressed me in his constant feeling and kissing. He wasn't at all sleezy. Not only did he treat her, but he did so afterwards as well! The only thing left to make this perfect is it were a whole body massage that she, too, got to enjoy. Other than that, MWA! ;-* (Notice that I didn't point out that he's barely attractive...)
Rita is sexy!
I love these videos. I love the sensuality. I love the music. It makes you feel like you are actually there having the massage. Shame I am knocking one out hiding in the shed while my wife thinks I am fixing her kettle. Fuck the kettle, i'll buy a new one.
fantastica ragazza!!!

so eine massage hätte ich auch gerne. ich hätte meine schwanz nicht aus der hammmer pussy rausgezogen.

She is a beautiful woman with great tits, but I'd have preferred a hairy pussy. Nothing like being natural. He too shaved his cock. Based on the other flix, Rita has a lot of guys, and does the same to all.
I'd love to see Rita with her cunt unshaven - fro what I can see here, it is probably thick and lush. Also lovely close ups of her sweet, sweet anus. So beautiful..

I wish there was more of the pussy licking when she was on her back. And slow intense sensual sex with him on top of her as they kissed, before just thrashing her like mad.

Very stimulating
I am Bisexual and i would fuck her and suck his cock as well
Would you take his manly cock just after he pulls-out of her pussy? Take him in your hand & fondle him, then go down on him to get him hard again? Keep sucking him until he cums in your mouth?

"And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown."And he replied:
"Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way."
The correct name of the poem is "God Knows", and it was written by a British teacher called Minnie Louise Haskins in 1908. The reason it is so well-known is that it was the text selected by King George VI for his Christmas radio broadcast, towards the end of 1939. It is generally felt that it gave heart to the nation at a time of great fear and uncertainty.
The King's Christmas broadcast was a relatively new thing. His father, King George V, had begun it in 1932; George V himself had been resisting the idea of speaking to his people through the wireless for nine years before finally giving in to the BBC's repeated requests. Like many of his speeches, the 1932 address was written by none other than Rudyard Kipling. The King had been nervous about the occasion, but was persuaded to continue in later years by the positive response from his audience, especially when he came to see it as a way of communicating with the furthest reaches of his Empire, an Empire in which political cracks had already begun to appear.
"It may be that the future will lay upon us more than one stern test," said George V, prophetically. Many in his kingdom believed that a second war with Germany was inevitable, sooner or later, but few foresaw that it was his second son, Prince Albert, then merely the Duke of York, who would be the one to make the first royal Christmas broadcast of that war. Albert, as most people were aware, suffered from a speech impediment that made it difficult for him to perform in public, and no one could have imagined that he would be the one to make the most memorable such broadcast of the twentieth century.
King George VI, as Albert became in 1936, was not a natural leader or a man of great intellectual gifts. He did, however, have several things his charming older brother (the former Prince of Wales who briefly reigned as King Edward VIII) had lacked; one of these was a family. The words were first suggested to him by his wife Elizabeth, and the poem was a favourite of hers and of her elder daughter's. It was not written with a particular occasion in mind, and made no reference to war, yet it captured the imagination of the public, making the poem known to a global audience as well as being a morale-booster for Britain. The King, who had given his support to Neville Chamberlain's peacemaking attempts, must have clutched gratefully at the ready-made pep talk, with Kipling having died in 1936 and no longer being available to provide such memorable lines for his use.
At New Year, I always think of those words from the 1939 speech (though of course it was long before I was born) and remember my parents and grandparents telling me how they found them an inspiration at the beginning of a long and terrible war that would cause even a military veteran like Sassoon to despair of humanity. I have no doubt that Siegfried, traditionalist that he was, listened to the broadcast, and I cannot imagine how he felt, seeing Europe once again split apart by armed conflict. Yet I cannot help thinking that he would have been impressed by the way a few lines from a minor poet could move millions.

Council houses in Chesterfield are set to benefit from an extra £69million funding boost over the next three years.
Chesterfield Borough Council announced the investment after news that it will achieve the Government's Decent Homes standard in all 9,500 council houses it owns and manages by the end of March.
The standard requires all homes to meet set criteria ensuring they are warm, protected from the weather and have modern facilities.
Now the standard will be met, the council's cabinet has agreed a further £69m of improvements between 2015/16 and 2017/18 to bring homes up to an even higher standard.
This will include work to:
• Install cavity wall insulation and replace older central heating systems in homes;
• Replace roofs, old UPVC windows and install external wall insulation;
• Improve the environments of some housing estates, including the London Boroughs estate in Barrow Hill in 2015/16 and the Holmehall estate in 2016/17. Measures will include the creation of roads, garden space and better parking areas;
• Construct four new build houses in Rufford Close, Boythorpe
• Buy selected properties on the open market which meet a housing need.
Councillor Jim McManus, the borough council's executive member for housing, said: "It is a real achievement to have got our council houses to the Government's Decent Homes standard and delivers on our promise to tenants.
"But we don't want to stop there because we believe council homes are not second class.
"They should be every bit as good as the private sector can offer.
"The extra £69m investment we are now making over the next three years will enable us to maintain the high standards we have already met and then go over and above them."
A spokesman for the authority said: "The funding for the housing improvements is separate to normal day-to-day council spending and cannot be spent on any other council service.
"Recent changes in the rules mean councils can borrow money to invest in housing, with repayments funded by the income received from council tenants."

Police Chief Bill Drager restated his position on the need for the parking ban. �I�m concerned for public safety. We have had at least four accidents involving cars pulling out of the alley behind city hall where they could not see oncoming traffic. Plus, there have been several close calls,� Drager stressed.
Dick Johnson of Vern Johnson Motors, said he respected Chief Drager�s opinions but didn�t completely agree with them. �A stop light has been installed on Highway 23. I feel you need to give it a chance to work before imposing parking bans. At an earlier meeting this year, MnDOT stated they would like to see a 150-foot parking ban. Why would the city like to exceed that limit?� he asked. Drager replied, because the alley and problem area is beyond the 150-foot limit.
Johnson listed off businesses that would be adversely affected by the parking ban: Ruthies, Burr Barber Shop, Jimmy�s Pizza, Bolstad Realty, Vern Johnson Motors and the American Legion.
�In a small town, parking needs to be convenient for customers or they won�t shop here,� Johnson said. �By restricting parking on Highway 23, it will place more pressure on downtown parking spaces.� Johnson presented the council with three options to consider:
1) No trucks parking on Highway 23 in the area from Highway 124 to Augusta Avenue.
2) Make the two alleys in this area one-way except for emergency vehicles. The alleys are located behind Jack and Jill and city hall.
3) Mark 150 feet on Highway 23 a no parking zone and place two-hour parking restrictions on Washburne Avenue.
Johnson also questioned Chief Drager�s recommendation considering he was planning on retiring in May. �Shouldn�t the new chief look at the issue?� Johnson asked. �The council is elected by the public, please consider us in your decisions. We would appreciate some communication before a decision is made.�
Jim Ochs of Jimmy�s Pizza, said a parking ban on Highway 23 would put his business at a great disadvantage. His pizza delivery kids carry money and it would put them at a greater risk to park further away, and his clientel are older people who would not walk the extra distance. �I feel the city should follow MnDOT�s recommendation, that 150 feet is a sufficient amount and to make the alley�s one way would solve a lot of problems,� Ochs said.
Councilman Dennis Zimmerman agreed parking is definitely a safety issue on Highway 23. �Accidents are waiting to happen, especially in the winter months,� he said.
Kevin Schoenherr, Tuck�s Cafe, said highway safety should be the first issue. He added the elderly wouldn�t want to cross a busy highway.
Zeno Preimesberger suggested limit parking on only one side of Highway 23, the south side.
Mayor Jeff Thompson said the council could mull over the problem for a while since signage won�t be erected until spring and it will be hard to enforce until the signs are up.
Ron Mergen, public works director, said if the no parking area were designated, only about 10 or less parking spaces would be lost.
Jerry Burr, Jack and Jill, said he has been in business in Paynesville 33 years and has had to live with bad decisions from the council. �If designating the area no parking will save one person�s life, I�m for it. But first the council needs to look at all the alternatives. I agree, the alley is dangerous. I had a kid on a bike once run into my pickup truck as I pulled out of the alley,� Burr told the council.
The council agreed to table the resolution designating the area a no parking zone for one month. The council will have a traffic count and visibility tests done on the alleys. The issue will again be placed on the Feb. 26 agenda.
In other business, the council approved a resolution banning parking on any street from 2 to 6 a.m. from Nov. 1 to March 31, snow removal periods.

This article will focus on the situation where an investor is limited to 100% covered calls, and 100% cash covered puts. Investors that are willing to assume more risk and leverage should take the quantitative principles outlined here, and apply them to the more highly leveraged margin based naked puts and naked calls.
Quick background:
- long the call option - in this case you are buying a contract that gives you the right to purchase an underlying on or before a future date at a predetermined 'strike ' price. You give up some money so that you can hold this right.
- short the call option - in this case you are the party that sells a contract which gives someone else the right to purchase (from you) an underlying on or before a future date at the strike price.
- long the put option - in this case you are buying a contract that gives you the right, but not the obligation, to sell an underlying on or before a future date at the strike price.
- short the put option - in this case you are selling to someone else a contract that gives them the right, but not the obligation, to sell an underlying (to you) on or before a future date at the strike price.
In order to fully understand Covered Calls, please see the article:
Buy-Write or Covered Call Strategy Analysis
Ground Rules:
Based on the ground rules which will be enforced here, an investor wanting to engage in selling calls will have to make 2 transactions each time he/she enters into the contract. The investor will have to buy n*100 shares of a given stock or ETF, and sell n call contracts against it. Some brokerage houses will actually make this a single atomic transaction.
Covered Call Outcomes:
- Stock price stays below the call strike price. The option expires worthless, and the investor keeps the proceeds.
- Stock price moves above the call strike price, and the investor is forced to sell the stock at the strike price to a counter party.
In case 1, if the stock price remains relatively unchanged, then the investor did good because he/she generated cash flow from the owning of a stock.
In case 2, the investor did ok because he/she made money. Which is good.
There is also a 3rd case, the stock drops in price. This is the worst possible case because due to the investors long-stock position, the investor will loose money.
This position has 2 somewhat unfortunate issues, the first is that a strong bull market will outperform a covered call strategy, and in a bear market, an investor will only have the protection of the premium generated from the sale of the call.
The maximum upside is the capital gain from the stock plus the proceeds from the sale of the call option.
In a very strong bull market, it is difficult to get out of this position before expiry. What that means is that you may have a large amount of cash "tied up" and waiting for expiry.
Cash Covered Put:
Here one is selling a put, and using "Cash" to back the contract. In this case, only 1 trade is required, that trade is the sale of n put contracts.
This position allows an investor to exit the position very easily in a bull market because the investor can buy back the put cheaply in the event of a bull market, and if desired immediately re-sell another n put contracts with a higher strike price. Because of this, this strategy does not have the opportunity cost associated with being forced hold an strategy until expiry.
Issue: in a strong bear market, this investor is forced to "buy" a depressed stock above the fair market value.
Strategies to "Hedge" against a bear market include selling in-the-money puts, and buying out-of-the money puts. This allows the investor to capitalize on the bull market, while protecting from a bear situation.
Concrete example:
Sell 4 contracts of Ford with a strike price of 12.00 USD,
Buy 4 contracts of Ford with a strike price of 10.00 USD,
Cash IN 292.98 (76 *4 - commission)
Cash OUT 44.01 (9*4 + commission)
At Expiry, the payout will exactly match the "intrinsic" value of the position:
Therefore, the maximum profit will be 292.98 - 44.01 = 248.97
The maximum loss will be 800.00 - 248.97 = 551.03
Max Profit: 248.97
Max Lost: 551.03
However, with options, at any time before expiry, the maximum loss will be less than 551.03 because as the stock price drops the put with a strike price of $12.00 will approach the intrinsic value, whereas the put option with a strike price of $10.00 will be composed mostly of its implied volatility value.
Of course as an investor if you find yourself in a position where the stock has taken a loss, you will have to make the decision to "close" out the position at a loss before expiry to ensure that you don't get caught with the maximum lost of 551.03.

2--Reviews? Yes. For each new / recent book, you can submit a review and read reviews submitted by colleagues. You can access this review feature from CompPile's home page, too, following the "Reviews @ CompPile" link. The "Reviews" space is our response to the July conversation on WPA-L about reviews / reviewing.
We invite you to wander through the new spaces: offer suggestions, submit a CompReview. You can learn more about these two new features at the CompPile Blog ("What's New @ CompPile"), by following another new link from the CompPile home page.
3--Another new link? Yes, the home page has been revised. Thanks for noticing. In addition to a bit cleaner design, we've added the new links described above and the link to the blog, where we hope to provide regular updates on CompPile's growth.
As always, we welcome feedback. Volunteers, too. Plenty enough work for all of us.

If you are just in the process of getting your child his/her first balance bike, a bicycle helmet is an absolute must-have. Proper fitting kids bike helmets reduce the risk of head trauma from falls by as much as 85% and the risk of severe brain injuries by close to 90%. Children who don't wear bicycle helmets (or wear ill-fitting ones) are twice as likely to sustain head injuries. Also keep in mind that the best way to convince your child to wear his helmet, is to wear one yourself. Almost all kids who don't wear their helmets have parents who don't either.

There may be many arguments against wearing a helmet, but statistics don't lie, if you want what is best for your kid, you will ensure that he is protected at all times. However, it is imperative that you know what to look for when picking a helmet, as an ill-fitting one will just lull you into a false sense of security, while it doesn't actually offer much protection.
Fit and Sizing of Kids Bike Helmets
For a kid's bicycle helmet to work correctly, it should fit properly. If it is not comfortable enough, your child won't want to wear it in the first place, and even if he does wear it, the helmet won't absorb and distribute shock properly. Many kids' helmets have a universal fit ring that is adjustable to fit the kid's head, and others come with sizing pads to secure it better. But don't go and buy a larger helmet thinking that the child grows into it. If you buy a helmet online, you need to take a measurement of your child's head to ensure that you at least have a rough indication of what size you will need.
Take the measurement just above the ears, at the largest part of the head. The smallest setting on the helmet should not be larger than your child's head, as a helmet that is too big simply won't give the needed protection. Don't be afraid to ask the seller to measure the helmet for you, or look the hat size up online. If you buy a kiddies bicycle helmet at a brick-and-mortar store, take your child with to ensure a proper fit:
- The helmet should fit flush against the head from all sides.
- It should not move over an inch in any direction when pushed or pulled
- When buckled, it should be impossible to pull the helmet off.
- The helmet should cover the forehead, leaving about one or two fingers above the eyebrows.
- When the chin strap is tightened, the left buckle should be under the chin, with no more than two fingers fitting under the strap.
Safety Standards
The more expensive kids bike helmets are not necessarily safer than cheaper helmets, they usually just have better ventilation or other features. All helmets have to comply with basic safety standards, but be on the lookout for those with the Snell B90 standards from the United States, as these standards are stricter. Also keep in mind that bicycle helmets are not suitable for skateboard and skating use. Kids bicycle helmets are meant to only protect the head from one crash, using a lighter foam which compresses during impact.
After a major accident, you will need a new helmet, whereas skateboarding helmets are designed to handle multiple crashes. Although skateboarding helmets can handle multiple hits without compressing, don't go buying one of those for cycling now thinking that you will save money. This type of foam can only handle shorter falls, making it unsuitable for bicycles. If you do want a helmet that can be used for different sports, don't believe the advertisements, but go for a helmet that carries Snell N-94 multi-purpose seal.
Kids Bike Helmet Features
Childrens' bicycle helmets come with several features that act together protect the head. It is important for a parent to know which features are the most important and which you can go without.
- Shell – Made of a strong, lightweight plastic that acts as the first barrier in case of a knock against the head. The plastic should be able to slide on the ground without catching on anything. Many modern-day helmets come with large vents to relief a sweaty head, but they also mean that a smaller part of the head is protected. Try to opt for a helmet that doesn't go too overboard with the vents.
- Foam – The inner part of the helmet is lined with a very shock absorbent foam. Kid's bike helmets have a thicker padding than that of adults, as their heads are softer and more vulnerable.
- Straps – The straps and fastener on your child's helmet should be strong and stable. Don't buy a model that unbuckles too easily, as it might also unbuckle during a fall, defeating the purpose of the helmet. Wider straps are more comfortable.
Additional Tips When Buying a Kids Bike Helmet
- Have your child pick out his/her own helmet. There are many helmets on the market that are made to be appealing to boys and girls, with designs including superheroes, cartoon characters, camouflage, dolls, princesses and even sparkles. If a child really loves his helmet, he would be proud to wear it and you eliminate the battle of getting it on every time before a bike ride.
- Check for snags. Any fancy features such as an aerodynamic or square shape or even vents can catch onto things when the child takes a fall, something that you want to avoid at all cost. A basic, smooth, rounded model will work best.
- Check for stickers that carry the safety standards, including the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission), ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and Snell marks. This will ensure this helmet design has been properly tested to ensure safe use.
- Check the weight. Toddlers don't have very strong neck muscles, so they can't wear a heavy helmet. Rather than a bigger, heavier helmet that may fit, buy a special toddler-design for young children.
- Don't buy the "aero" shape if you are going to transport a child on a child seat on your bike. This design forces the child's head downward, which is a bad, unnatural position and puts strain on the neck.
Buying the right helmet for your kid is just as important as buying the right bike. In the end, it is the child's safety that is at stake. When shopping for kids bike helmets, the higher priced ones with the extra features are not always better. You need to look at the helmet's seals of safety, size, comfort and a design that your kid will be proud to wear.

"Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well…" John 4:12
The woman at the well asked Jesus a question that is still being asked today. Jesus told her that he could give her living water; water that was more satisfying than the water in her well. Her response was, "Who is this guy?" Or, in the words of Scripture, "Are you greater than our father Jacob…" She wanted to know who Jesus was, how could he do this, what made him greater than any other man that he would be able to give her living water.
In essence people are still asking the same question today. It's phrased a little differently; but essentially the same. Some of the questions you hear are:
* Was Jesus greater than just a good teacher?
* What makes Jesus greater than any other prophet or religious leader?
* Were his miracles greater than others done in the day (or did Jesus do those miracles – from the skeptics)?
* Is Jesus great enough to make the claims he made?
* Is Jesus greater than my current god?
* Just who is this Jesus anyway?
In a nutshell, "Jesus, are you greater than ____________". Fill in the blank yourself.
Interestingly enough, Jesus answered the woman's question. She told him in further conversation that she knew a Greater one was coming and would "tell them all things (vs. 25)." She also called this anticipated person, the "Messiah" or anointed one.
Jesus answered her first question by stating, "I who speak to you am He (vs. 28)"
The answer today to those asking the similar question, "is Jesus greater than ____________," is…

After our retreat – a wonderful paragraph on Serving and Helping from the Course in Miracles…
A passage on Helping and Serving, from A Course in Miracles.
The Authentic Self's work is being of service. Serving is different than helping. Helping is based on inequality; it is not a relationship between equals. Helping incurs debt. When you help someone they owe you one. But serving, like healing, is mutual. There is no debt. We are as served as the person we are serving. When we help we have a feeling of satisfaction. When we serve we have a feeling of gratitude.
Service is renewing. When we serve, our work itself will sustain us. At the very heart of service, we understand that the act of caring is always mutually beneficial. We understand that in nurturing others we are always cared for.

The Blue Jays had some good news Wednesday in a 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians, but the bottom line was that an 11th-inning leadoff homer by Mark Reynolds off Sergio Santos handed Toronto a second straight loss at the Rogers Centre. It's a disturbing start for a team with great expectations.
"Poorly located pitch," Santos said after relieving in his second straight game. "Tough. Two strikes I've got to put him away there. I felt fine, just didn't make a pitch when I needed to."
The Jays have imported an impressive array of high-priced talent into the 2013 clubhouse, but it was one of their returning stars, Jose Bautista, who came up big to take it to extras. The right fielder momentarily saved the decision with a one-out, game-tying home run in the ninth off Indians closer Chris Perez. It's the type of performance the Jays missed in the second half of 2012, when Bautista was down with a left wrist injury. Questions regarding his health, for the moment, have been answered.
"Home runs are what they are," Bautista said in an attempt to downplay his sense of personal accomplishment. "I thought it was a big hit in the moment, but I would much rather have the win.
"Bottom line is they pitched good, had some timely hitting and they beat us. We haven't been able to get anything going on the offence. It's only two games, so we're not dwelling too much on it."
This night wasn't about the Jays' newcomers. Defensively, it was another returning player, third baseman Brett Lawrie, who was clearly missed when the Tribe took a 2-1 lead in the eighth inning. With left-hander Darren Oliver pitching, Lawrie's replacement, Maicer Izturis, fielded a Carlos Santana grounder on the backhand, raced to the bag for the force and skipped a low throw past Edwin Encarnacion and down the right-field line, allowing Nick Swisher to score from second. Izturis, not a natural third baseman, had been competing with Emilio Bonifacio for the second base job at training camp.
It has become a brave new world for the Jays, with even greater expectations than in the past placed on winning thanks to the $120 million committed to payroll. The heat is on and there's no shade. Sure, losing remains a nightly possibility, as with any major league team, but losing is no longer an acceptable option for ownership. Thus it was that the Jays needed a strong bounce-back after a disappointing opening night loss to the Indians.
It was up to Brandon Morrow to even the record on Wednesday. He happens to be the only Jays starter remaining in the rotation from opening day 2012 with Ricky Romero being exiled to Class-A. The 28-year-old right-hander had his good stuff going, hitting 99 m.p.h. on his 11th pitch of the game.
"I was a little jacked up in the first inning there," Morrow said. "I didn't really feel it, but it was coming out hot. It took me half the inning to get it under control, but I thought it was a good outing."
The Indians opened the scoring in the top of the third with no ball being hit hard. Speedy leadoff man Michael Bourn bounced a chopper over third base that Izturis stretched for and deflected into foul ground. Morrow walked Nick Swisher with two away and Michael Brantley drove home the run, bouncing a ball through shortstop with Jose Reyes stationed behind second base.
"I think (Izturis) just misjudged the timing of his jump," Gibbons said. "He's not a big guy. He can only go so high. I just think he mis-timed it a little bit. Then we had a chance for the double play. He threw low and let the go-ahead run in. He also had a big home run. He's going to help us this year.
The Jays had tied the game in the bottom of the third when Izturis led off with a homer into the Indians bullpen off Ubaldo Jimenez. That was the only damage against the Tribe right-hander through six.
Morrow threw 100 pitches in his six innings, allowing one run on six hits with a pair of walks and eight strikeouts. When the Indians threatened, Morrow was able to reach back and find another gear. With runners in scoring position, he held them to one hit in eight at-bats with five strikeouts. It was a power game he did not often exhibit in the spring.
"It didn't go away, I can still strike a guy out when I need to," Morrow said. "I think last year most of my strikeouts came in situations like that. I was looking for contact tonight, but I needed some strikeouts to bail me out of some jams."
It's too early in the season to make a judgment, but if recent history is any indication, Morrow may also have benefited from pitching the day after R.A. Dickey. Call it the Dickey Effect.
An unofficial study of 2012, using a compilation of the stats of the Mets starting pitchers who drew the assignment the day after the knuckleballer threw, facing the same opponent as Dickey, showed those pitchers with a combined 11-6 record and 2.73 ERA.
On this night the Bautista Effect saved the Jays in the ninth, but it wasn't enough. The series wraps Thursday with Mark Buehrle making his Jays debut against the Indians.

Chow Town
'The Bomb' pizza ball goes up in flames at the table, and foodies are fired up
The waiter sets a giant ball of dough on your table, drizzles it with liquor and sets the dang thing on fire.
The dome of dough erupts into flames.
What do you do?
Whip out your cell phone, of course, which is what foodies are doing at The Place, an Italian restaurant in Seoul, Korea, that has created a fiery new pizza called "The Bomb."
"Cooking a pizza in a wood-fired oven? So last year," declares London's Metro, which has nicknamed the new sensation "pizza fire balls."
As the dome of squid-ink-colored dough burns, it melts and heats up the cheese and toppings of the pizza, which sits on a base that's already been cooked.
After the dome crisps up, the waiter cuts it open with a pair of scissors to show off the pizza tucked inside.
"It's almost like a flambe, except it's pizza, so it's better," writes Isai Rocha at Food Beast. "I feel like this is the future, just light everything on fire. Burger King needs to get on this and set their burgers on fire, mostly so no one has to eat them."
Before trying the Bomb Pizza at The Place restaurant in #Seoul, you can experience this short fire show. #Korea pic.twitter.com/yEM2AUcbo1— Jaehwan Cho 조재환 (@hohocho) November 8, 2015
South Korean restaurants have spent years trying to outdo one another with wild pizza creations, according to the Huffington Post.
Crusts are filled with egg tart custards and mocha-flavored cream cheese. Strawberry pizzas are served with pickles. Popular "spooning pizzas" are casserole dishes filled with pizza ingredients — cheeses, sauces, meats.
The Bomb, which cooks incredibly fast, is probably a hit because "most Koreans, they are not very patient when it comes to food," a Korean pizza maker told Roads and Kingdoms food journal last year for a story about the "weird and wonderful world of Korean pizza."
Hundreds of photos and videos of the Bomb have popped up on social media, but not all have been from fans.
The Daily Mail found several people who thought the Bomb was a bust.
"Introducing a new way of baking a pizza known as "the bomb," or as I like to call it, 'cancer pizza,'" snarked one person.
"Finally we can enjoy pizza with the savory pleasure of molten ash!'" said another.

My Messy (Non-Linear) Life
For the past month or so, I've sat down to write, had a good start to a piece, only to then hit the save to draft button.
Translation: no courage.
My excuse was that my writing wasn't good enough.
Not tonight.
Many people take a path in life (vis-a-vis their career) that looks pretty linear. Usually, it involves some kind of specialization.
I.T. Marketing. Medicine. Modeling. Plumbing. Education.
There is a pretty straightforward set of steps, and if you work hard enough for long enough, good things–stable career, stable income, respect, influence–will happen.
Myself, I'm more of a generalist.
A dabbler.
I just follow my nose, as the saying goes.
(Follow the white rabbit.)
Recently, I had this amazing opportunity to travel the world quite literally fall in my lap. It was like the Universe was reading my mind.
Get paid to see the world? Are you kidding me?
No, said the Universe. We're not.
Then came a challenge from some people close to me: what will you do after, Alex?
Why must I always be thinking about after?
Yes, I get the concern.
My life situation isn't what we'd call ideal.
But I'm in transition–from what wasn't my life passion to what is.
I've taken much of the past three months in Florida to relax and be.
Yeah, be.
You know, from the verb, to be.
(Shakespeare had a little something to say about that verb, if I recall.)
I took a hiatus–my sabbatical, as I talked about in a post from earlier this year–from working to cover my bills, to reducing my bills to almost nothing and moving in with my brother to focus on my passion of writing.
It has been interesting to notice my level of comfort and dis-comfort when answering the questions, so what are you doing doing here? and where do you live?
My answers: working on my writing career; living at my brother's place.
But something always felt off when I gave these answers; an inner feeling of shame and/or embarrassment over having to rely on my family for a few months while I got my proverbial shit together.
I did my best to hide it–from others, as well as from myself.
But part of me felt like something was wrong–and I allowed that to affect my confidence, which in turn has affected my writing.
My writing was coming from a place of wanting to hide from my insecurities, and therefore it was dead. I sensed that, which is also why I never hit the publish button.
In all honesty, it was probably premature to think that I could go from writing an article here and there to writing full-time and turning it into a viable career.
But you know what?
I tried.
And, in this moment, I'm not ashamed for taking my first premature shot at it.
But when we start hitting our head against a wall, or when our wheels are churning and we're not moving forward, it's a good opportunity to step back and take inventory.
Is this what I really want to do?
Might there be something that comes more easily… more naturally?
Is there an easier way to do this?
Just to invite these kinds of questions is courageous.
A few weeks ago I had this thought: maybe I should get a job on a yacht so I can travel.
Fort Lauderdale might be THE yachting capital of the world. The boats here run in the hundred-million dollar (or more) range. In fact, people park their hundred-million dollar yachts right next to their twenty-million dollar mansions.
(Just an average-sized yacht in Ft. Lauderdale.)
I quit that idea when I found out that my two real options were a) working as a deckhand, doing hard labor in the sun all day; or b) working inside the yacht, listening to women talk about the deckhands all day.
Thanks–but no thanks.
But how funny is life?
Not a few weeks after considering the idea of working out at sea… my phone rings. Ok, it started as a fb message: Alex, what are you doing this fall?
Next was the phone conversation: want to travel the world for the next four months and work with college students?
Um… YES.
But allow me to rewind a little. Four months earlier, I was living in Atlanta and trying to decide whether I wanted to sign a lease to live another year in Atlanta or not.
My heart didn't want to–but my fear kept me there. I thought, what am I going to do down in Florida?
I had no plan.
The question I got from my brother: Sure, you can come and stay with me for a few months, but what are you going to do after?
I had no answer, and so I stayed.
Well, I should have listened. A lot of drama went down because I didn't listen to that inner voice telling me it was time to leave Atlanta.
So, instead of leaving on my own volition, life basically forced my hand. But isn't that how it often goes? Instead of quitting a job we know we should leave, we often wait until we're fired.
Same goes for our relationships.
Many of you might have a voice trying–in varying degrees of desperation–to reach out to you:
It's time to quit your job and start something new.
It's time to break up with your partner.
It's time to move.
It's time to make up with your brother.
It's time.
Are you listening?
Are you even aware that you're being called?
Or, are you so busy that you didn't even notice that something (or someone) has been trying to grab your attention for some time now.
The call can come in very different ways.
In my experience, it often starts as a distress signal that takes the form of an emotional state, and which symbolizes that something in my life is amiss, askew… off.
Common symptoms may include:
- Depression
- Dissatisfaction
- Addiction
- Lethargy
- Injury
- Apathy
- Numbness
This is life sending you a message:
step back and take inventory; take time to ask questions, to reflect, to wonder–and then listen for a response.
Isn't it high time we invite a little bit of wonder back into our lives?
(One of my friends and mentors, Eric Saperston, who believes wonder is so cool that he created a t-shirt–and a movement–to remind us.)
It's certainly not easy.
I won't lie.
It's terrifying.
What is?
The idea of relinquishing the solid ground beneath our feet and take a leap into the unknown goes against our survival instinct.
Especially as we get older.
And, yet, if we are merely living from a place of survival is that really living?
Please don't take this the wrong way!
If you're in that place right now, you're in fabulous company!
Indeed, most of the human race lives from a place of survival.
However, when we allow ourselves to get present to the sadness or uneasiness that we're feeling inside–to our feelings of helplessness–something new emerges: an opening, ever so small, but large enough for the Universe, via our soul, to send us a message.
Hey, you. Yeah, you. You're not very happy. We see that. But you know what? You don't have to remain in this situation forever. If you're open to getting a little out of your comfort zone, amazing things await you. Trust us.
But it's going to require something.
More likely than not, you're going to have to give something up.
Hopefully, you can now see that those bad feelings (i.e., symptoms) are really blessings in disguise–guiding us, telling us where we're off, where we've given up, where we're pretending.
And that's the necessary first step.
Getting real.
So, my life is not linear.
It's MESSY.
I'm about to take a trip around a good swath of the world, and I have no idea what will come after. It's not a very mature way to do things (not in a conventional sense, at least). I don't even know how I will support myself after I arrive back in the states.
But here's what I'm thinking:
I don't have to.
I can trust that if I was led TO THIS… getting paid to travel the world and making a difference, then I can be confident that I will be led to the next step.
All I have to do–my responsibility, if you will–is to give myself over completely to the here and now.
And then to trust that the next step will appear right on time.
And the next…
And the next…
And the next…
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. ~Hellen Keller
A book that changed my life forever. Thank you, Ram Dass.

CLEVELAND—To Jim Thome, helping Baltimore win its third straight game meant more than hitting his 610th home run.
Thome move past Sammy Sosa into seventh place on the career homers list and the Orioles beat the Cleveland Indians 10-2 Friday night.
The 41-year-old Thome got his historic home run with a towering 418-foot shot off Derek Lowe (8-8) to open the fourth inning.
"The big thing is, we won another game," Thome said, wearing a large icepack on his neck. That's been a long-time post-game ritual to soothe his back that has ached for years, but not put a crimp in his production.
"I knew I got it," Thome said of the majestic shot.
He then got the baseball, exchanging a bat and two signed balls with the fan who caught it.
Thome's homer was his sixth this season and first since being acquired by Baltimore on July 1 from the Philadelphia Phillies for two minor-leaguers. He had signed with the Phillies as a free agent last winter.
"Nothing Jim does surprises me, and I just feel pretty lucky to watch and enjoy it," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "I'm glad he's passed our way. He sets a great example for everybody and works incredibly hard. He plays every game like it's his first in Little League."
It was Thome's 189th homer at Progressive Field. The left-handed slugger holds Cleveland's career record with 337 homers. He was a key part of the Indians' power-laden lineup from 1991-2002 and returned for the final two months of the 2011 season.
Ken Griffey Jr. is next up on the career list with 630 homers.
Thome had three hits, including his 449th career double, tying Hall of Famer Joe Morgan and two others for 97th all-time. He also struck out for the 2,526th time, leaving him 61 behind career leader Reggie Jackson.
Ryan Flaherty had a three-run homer and Mark Reynolds doubled home two runs in Baltimore's six-run third as the Orioles went ahead 7-1.
Miguel Gonzalez (2-1) gave up seven hits and two runs over 6 2/3 innings in his third career start. The right-hander struck out five and is 1-0 with a 2.14 ERA on the road.
Asdrubal Cabrera and Jack Hannahan homered for Cleveland, which has lost six of its last nine.
"We couldn't do much offensively, but it was a big, big hole to climb out of," Indians manager Manny Acta said.
Orioles reliever Matt Lindstrom was hit in the left knee by a wicked line drive by Johnny Damon in the eighth. He wanted to stay in the game but, with a 10-2 lead, Showalter brought in Kevin Gregg with the bases loaded and two out and Lindstrom walked to the dugout.
"I'm a little sore," Lindstrom said, a red welt on his leg just below the knee. "I'm icing it and have complete confidence in our training staff. I just need quicker reactions. I put my glove down, but not far enough."
Baltimore took a 1-0 lead in the first on a wild pitch by Lowe. J.J. Hardy hit a one-out double, moved up on a groundout by Thome and scored when Adam Jones walked on a pitch that got past catcher Matt Wieters.
Cleveland tied it in the bottom half on Cabrera's 12th homer. Hannahan hit his fourth in the seventh to make it 10-2.
Lowe allowed nine runs and seven hits — five doubles and two homers — over three-plus innings. He walked five without a strikeout.
"The game speaks for itself," Lowe said. "It was embarrassing, frustrating, all of the above."
The 39-year-old right-hander was the Indians' best starter in the first two months of the season, but is 2-7 with an 8.31 ERA in his last 10 starts — allowing 48 earned runs and 75 hits in 52 innings.
Reynolds went 1 for 5 and is hitting .304 with eight RBIs over six games after going 10 for 66 (.152) with seven RBIs in his previous 22 contests.

An Introduction to Leather Working
Have you ever thought of making something with leather yet quickly dismiss the notion because it seemed too intimidating? Where the heck can I buy leather? What should I look for before purchasing? How do I treat it? Well, today I hope to bring you some answers to all those questions and more...
...all courtesy of a great Girls Guild workshop, I attended in Marfa, with artist Natalie Davis from Canoe.
Let's first get to the introductions, Natalie is the mind and soul behind modern leather goods shop Canoe. She not only designs and handcrafts each of her products, but she also educates in the art as well. In this tooling workshop she showed us how to design, tool, and dye a leather keychain that fits right into the West Texas environment it was crafted in.
1. Picking the right leather
Natalie laid out a large sample of leathers and explained the different types of skins (cow, lamb, and deer) as we touched and pulled them with our hands. She pointed out the importance of flexing the leather at different points to feel for any weak points — parts that subtly buckle or bubble in contrast to the rest of the material. These points are where your leather good will eventually break or crack. So try to acquire pieces that don't have these deficiencies. She recommended shopping for leather pieces at Tandy Leather which has several locations across the US.
2. Cut or Stamp Leather
If you're just doing a one-off project then you can cut out your leather carefully with a sharp leather craft knife or shears. However, if you plan on making multiple items then you can look into getting a dedicated die cutter to stamp out your creations.
3. Prep and Tool with a Sample
Natalie provided each of us with some sample leather, a cutting board, a sponge, and a mallet. We laid out our leather pieces on the cutting board and wet it with a slightly damp sponge. This process softens the leather so that it can better take on the patterns from tooling. Natalie let us experiment with her personal set of irons and stamps to get a feel for the process. To tool you simply stand up the stamp (or iron) and hammer firmly with a mallet to make an impression. It's like hammering in a nail, except with more intricate results.
4. Tool your Final Design
Experimenting with the different stamps was in a way therapeutic — everyone seemingly experiencing a few personal moments of zen. Even under the bright Marfa sun, we could have tooled away for hours. Natalie handed out some pre-stamped leather pieces we would use for our final design. So we prepped the leather as before and retreated right back to our artistic state of consciousness — creating our own personal piece on a relatively thick piece of cowhide that was surprisingly easy to work with.
5. Dye Leather
Natalie had a few varying shades of brown colored dye to work with. We simply loaded up a dauber with the dye and then applied to both sides of the leather — it soaked it right up. Try multiple coats for a darker, layered look. Or even try mixing dies of different shades. I lined my leather piece with a darker dye around the edges to created a burnished effect.
6. Air Dry
We set out our leather pieces on a vinyl fabric to air dry for about 15-20 minutes. If you happen to be trying this indoors or in non-Texas heat, you may want to allow the leather to dry for twice as long.
7. Rivet
The finishing touch on our leather keychain would be to press in a rivet that would secure our leather to a metal clasp. Natalie provided us with her own fire-red rivet press to ensure a clean and professional look. You simply fold the leather piece over the clasp and then set the rivet in place over the leather. Press down firmly and Voila! your very own handmade keychain that will age gracefully. If you're trying this at home you can start out inexpensively by using some handheld rivet pliers. Just use extra caution and be sure to practice a few times before trying on your final piece. They can be a bit touchy.
8. Oil
After a couple weeks you'll want to preserve your creation with some leather oil compound to preserve its color and protect it from the elements.
If you're interested in seeing some of this action with your own eyes Natalie is doing a live demo of these tooling techniques today at West Elm in Austin. This meet-the-makers party kicks off the Feliz event — a handmade craft fair featuring artists and makers from across the country. Join in on the festivities this weekend.
→ Meet The Makers of Feliz • Friday, November 2, 6-8pm • West Elm Austin, 5th & Lamar
→ Feliz Holiday Sale • Sunday, November 4th, 12-6pm • Palm Door, 401 Sabine St.

Along busy US 19 in Tarpon Springs, hugs the western shore of Lake Tarpon, offering plenty of picnic pavilions along a boardwalk following the cypress-lined shore.
Parks with Boating
These parks and preserves offer boater access or boating facilities such as moorings, marinas, or boat ramps.
Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park
In late winter, azaleas create ribbons of bright color beneath the live oak canopy across the grounds of Maclay Gardens, a series of formal gardens along the hillsides sweeping down to Lake Hall.
Anastasia State Park
Anastasia State Park is windswept and sandy, with an arc of beach that stretches four miles to Matanzas Inlet, curving in on itself to face the ancient city of St. Augustine.
Anclote Key Preserve State Park
A place to play Robinson Crusoe for a day or overnight, Anclote Key Preserve State Park is an offshore gem in the Gulf of Mexico made up of four islands within sight of Tarpon Springs.
Bald Point State Park
Where Ochlockonee Bay meets the Gulf of Mexico along the Forgotten Coast, quiet Bald Point State Park protects the tip of the peninsula, providing beaches to roam and estuaries and uplands to explore.
Bayport Park
Where the highway ends, Bayport Park begins. Perched on the edge of the estuary where the Weeki Wachee River meets the Gulf of Mexico, it offers spectacular sunset views along with its water access.
Big Lagoon State Park
As the name suggests, lagoons are the centerpiece of Big Lagoon State Park, but only one is THE Big Lagoon, a mirror-smooth expanse of saltwater trapped behind dunes within sight and sound of the surf of the Gulf of Mexico.
Big Talbot Island State Park
For a taste of tidal pools and black rock beaches in Florida, get out of your car and walk down to the unique shoreline of Big Talbot Island State Park.
Biscayne National Park
Biscayne National Park protects the mangrove coastline of south Miami-Dade County along with living coral reefs and a handful of barrier islands that barely managed to escape development.
Bulow Plantation Ruins State Park
Burned to the ground by a Seminole war party in 1836, the Bulow Plantation fell into ruins, and the remaining towering ruins of a sugar mill are the focus of Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park.

AboutCricklade is the only Wiltshire town on the young River Thames. Although there had been earlier Iron Age trackways it was the Romans who built the first metalled road, Ermin Street, to cross the low flood plains between Speen and Gloucester.
The later walled Saxon town was built by Alfred the Great as a defence against the Danes and was important enough to produce its own coins. The wide High Street has some interesting speciality shops and a remarkable range of buildings including St Sampson's and St Mary's churches and the Robert Jenner School of 1652.
North Meadow National Nature Reserve is of special interest to wildlife enthusiasts and is home to the UK's largest population of wild Snakeshead Fritillaries.
The Thames Path National Trail passes through the town on its way to London, while nearby is the Cotswold Water Park, Britain's largest with 132 lakes, which offers peaceful walks and exciting water sports.
Ashton Keynes on the edge of the water park is a delightful village with the main street following the course of the young River Thames. Houses are reached by a series of attractive small footbridges and in the churchyard is an ancient "preaching cross".

This was an air war that could not last. In 1991 Air Rarotonga entered a truce with Cook IslandAir's owner Air New Zealand. Air Rarotonga bought out Cook Island Airways and in turn agreed that it would not operate international services. With Air Rarotonga now carrying all the tourist traffic to Aitutaki it needed another aircraft and it purchased a second Bandeirante, ZK-TAI (c/n 110387), in December 1991. Over the 1990s traffic continued to grow in in August 1998 a third Bandeirante, ZK-TAK (c/n 110448) was bought.

While numerous airlines in the Pacific have come and gone Air Rarotonga, with its standard of excellence, has survived and flourished offering the islands of the Cooks a service that has grown with and has been instrumental in developing the country's tourism industry. It has a 36-year history of which Ewan, Munro and the Air Rarotonga team can be truly be proud.

Bell Helmet Salvage
The Emerge image at the bottom of the blog started this way. This is a photo I captured during a maritime museum visit in Kingston Ontario (?) I think. It resided in Iphoto for several years until I was pondering a water inspiration. I decided to use to bell helmet emerging in a lake to the view of a lotus. I located a few landscape features as well as cloud photos to combine. Learned to make water drops in the process. Still something was missing so I scanned some sumi-e trees and a partial enso and put it together. The finished product is centered on 13 by 19 Canon photo pro paper. So far only one other copy has fallen into private hands. Alas, as it has been shown in several exhibits.

The wooden Guest Bed frame is designed as a secondary wooden frame and mattress to be utilised at times when that extra sleeping space is required. The Guest Bed has been eloquently designed to seamlessly fit under your standard height wooden bed frame, and can be neatly packed away to make your room more spacious in times when it's not required. The Guest Bed keeps to the stylish, modern appearance of its wooden bed frame, and while it's packed away or pulled out, the Guest Bed complements your bedroom perfectly. This makes it an ideal choice for your spare room and a tidy, convenient option for when you have guests staying over.
Why Have A Guest Bed Frame With Your Wooden Bed
The wooden Guest Bed is a great choice for adding an additional bed in a bedroom where you don't want to compromise space when it's not needed. The handmade high quality, robust bed frame also makes it incredibly durable and offers the same comfort and support as our standard height beds. Inspired by the popular Japanese Futon Bed, the arrangement provides appropriate mattress support and comfort for guests. In addition to its stylish qualities, the Guest Bed Wooden Frame conveniently slides underneath most of our range and can be hidden from view when not in use, so the room doesn't look cluttered. It's very space efficient and won't get in your way.
Custom Bed Options
Due to the varying thickness of different mattresses, it is likely that our range of standard height beds will need to be increased in height slightly to accommodate the guest bed below. As with all of our normal beds, the handmade wooden Guest bed frame is available in all of our bed sizes, and in all of our Solid Scandinavian Pine satin stain finishes, as well as our 8 luxury Solid Hardwoods. It has an 11 year guarantee and if you require specific measurements, give us a call, we're more than happy to discuss your needs and build you a bespoke wooden Guest bed.
Alternatives To The Guest Bed Frame
If you are looking to add additional bed space, another solution other than the wooden Guest Bed is the handmade Modern Day Bed, which provides a comfortable sofa within your bedroom that can also be pulled out to become a sofa bed. It's the perfect way if you want to avoid the clutter of a standard size bed when you don't need it. The Guest Bed is closely based on our popular Low Loft wooden bed frame and brings together aesthetic quality and practicality. It's also very similar to our Low Platform Bed (Space Saver) wooden bed frame. The Low Platform Bed (Space Saver) is a little higher off the ground than the wooden Guest bed, and the Low Platform Bed has the mattress sitting inside the frame instead of on top of it. Both of these frames are great alternative options for the Guest Bed, especially if you'd rather have a bed specifically for a guest room, instead of a bed concealed underneath another bed.
If you are purchasing the Guest Bed along with any of our standard height beds, we will make alterations to increase the height of the wooden bed frame for £75. Please call us to let us know the size of the mattress you intend to buy before hand, in order for us to correctly adjust the wooden bed frame size to suit. The Guest Bed base would be manually pulled out from underneath with no wheels included.
Please note, the London Bed Frame featured in the photos is not included and is for illustration purposes only. The mattress and bedding is also not included and these items can be purchased separately.

Share a Basket and Making Our Home a Haven - Episode #8 Organizing Our Closets
Just letting you know that a new episode of Making Our Home a Haven is available to listen to. In this episode I discuss how I organize my clothing and give you encouragement to tackle your closets as well as a few fun tips. I was motivated this past week to organize my closet and I'm glad to report that I got rid of three kitchen size trash bags full of clothes, shoes and purses. You can listen to Making Our Home a Haven right here as there is a player on my right sidebar, or you can listen to it on TalkShoe HERE. You can also search for Making Our Home a Haven in iTunes podcasts and subscribe to it over there. I hope you are all getting some good tips and enjoying the podcasts. I would appreciate it so much if you would please let a friend know about them.
Now for the basket...This is a large basket woven on a "D" handle. I use this basket in my pantry to hold snacks for the kids. The wide strip in the middle is maple and is embellished with rub-ons.
Have a blessed Sunday everyone,

That's a beautiful basket. I have two friends who make baskets and they love it.
Those were some great tips. I try to go through my clothes fairly often too. I finally got to the point where I admitted I just wasn't ever going to wear this or that item again.
Thanks for linking up today!

That is a lovely basket. I have a market basket sitting on some shelves in my pantry room and keep extra kitchen hand-towels in it. I also have a smaller market basket in there that holds all of those smaller sized cookbooks (standing up) that you pick up at the check-out at the grocery store.
I have been purging my closets since I moved into my house a couple of years ago and I just donated five trash bags of clothes that I can't wear anymore. Feels good to get them out of the closet and let someone else get some use out of them.
