They love each other like siblings. They torture each other like siblings.
It was the eleventh hour for me, Al had toiled away the day and sought comfort in couch and beer.
Lounging and imbibing downstairs as children play upstairs:
Al: "You hear yelling?"
Me: "Yeah, I'm done with the yelling."
Al: "Yeah, they're fine."
Me: "Yeah."
sip sip
Al: "You hear crying?"
Me: "They'll come down if they see blood."
Al: "Yeah."
sip sip sip sip.
Me: "Fucking banging? Really?"
Al: "Ass holes."
Me: "Yep. Fucking ass holes."
sip sip sip sip sip sip glug
Al: "Help? They are NOT calling for help are they? How long have they been yelling anyway?"
Me: "I dunno. Since the last commercial maybe? Fuck, Jim Carey is funny eh?"
Al: "Yeah. Can't stand that Zellweger though, fucking squinty-eyed freak."
Me: "Yeah."
Al: "Still yelling. And banging."
Me: "Yeah, that banging is annoying as Hell no?"
sip sip sip glug sip sip
Al: "Yeah. I'll go check on them."
Me: "Whatever."
sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip sip
stomp stomp stomp stomp.
stomp stomp stomp stomp.
Al: "Hehehehehehe. You wanna know what all the yelling was about?"
Me: "Whatever."
*re-enactment by my kids who are as effed in the head as their Mommy*
Luckily Lil's mom is MY bestest friend and also thought it was funny as Hell that I left her daughter locked in a small dark cubby in the wall for who knows how many minutes banging on the door and screaming for help.
While I sat on my ass drinking wine.

Racing Expert
- Value for Money
- Relative Strike Rate
- Volatility
- Lifetime Profit
- Bank Growth
- Price Attainability
( reviews)
The Racing Expert is a selective horse racing tipping service run by Steve G from the Midas racing team that provides you with high-quality win and each-way bets.
This is a very low volume service with many 'no bet' days.
However, the tips that are issued win at an incredible rate of around 40 – 45%
This is exceptional for a service that does not focus on backing favourites.
The high strike rate and short losing runs make this system an excellent vehicle for compounding your bet sizes to amplify the service's edge over the odds.
Working out at just £5.58 on the monthly plan – the Racing Expert offers exceptional value for money.
- Frequent winners.
- Low-risk staking plan.
- Very cheap on the annual option.
- Prices easy to obtain.
- Short losing runs.
- 60-day money back guarantee.
- Relies on BOG enhancements somewhat.
This post contains affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and buy something, we might make money. This is at NO extra cost to yourself. But it helps to keep this website up and running. 🙂 As per the Review Policy, the presence of affiliate links does NOT influence the content of the review.

It's the age-old problem.
As soon as a tipster becomes profitable – the number of subscribers skyrockets.
Putting downward pressure on the quoted prices.
And killing the service's edge.
So, in this Racing Expert review, I'll be revisiting a system that I made a return with back in 2016.
To see if it still has an advantage over the odds.
Image: claims on the Racing Expert sign-up page.
What is the Racing Expert?
The Racing Expert is a selective horse racing tipping service run by Steve G from the Midas racing team.
Here's a full service breakdown:
How Much Does a Racing Expert Subscription Cost?
There are two options:
- £14.95 per month;
- £67 for 1 year.
The annual plan offers a massive discount – working out at just £5.58 per month.
This can significantly increase your overall profits because you'll be paying less each month.
Click here to choose your pricing plan.
Is There a Refund Policy?
You can claim all of your money back any time within 60 days.
Payments and refunds are processed via the reputable ClickBank platform.
My Racing Expert Trial Results
Here's the outcome of my 5-month Racing Expert trial:
Thoughts: Selective and Accurate
This is a low volume service.
There were typically between 1 and 3 selections sent on race days – with quite a few 'no bet' days.
But of the tips advised – nearly half of them won!
A strike of 45% is very impressive for a profitable horse racing system.
With 20-25% typically being the norm.
Is the Racing Expert Still Profitable?
From 13/1/16 – 29/9/18 the Racing Expert shows a profit of +218 points at the advised prices +BOG:
The data set for the above graph is 1,103 bets.
Sampled over a period of 32 months.
I tend to believe that statistical significance begins to arise at the 500-bet mark.
And enough time has elapsed to allow for the fundamentals to play out.
Thus leading me to conclude that the system still has an 'edge' when BOG is factored in.
Racing Expert Reviews and Testimonials
It would appear that not a lot of people know about the Racing Expert.
But of the two reviews that I found on tipstersreview.co.uk – both gave it 5/5 stars.
With positive comments to boot:
(Source: https://www.tipstersreview.co.uk/rating-system/racing-expert)
Conclusion: A Quietly Profitable, Low-Cost Horse Racing Tipster
I'm surprised that this system isn't more popular.
Because based on the profits to date, betting at just £10 per point would see you average a profit of around £60 – £70 per month.
Plus, the high strike rate and short losing runs means that you can scale out your bet sizes to compound your profits.
And with so few folks following the tips – I found that prices remained intact for hours.
I think people are sleeping on this system.
Because when handled correctly, the Racing Expert could bank you steady profits year-round.
See my top tips for maximising your results below.
- Historically profitable;
- High number of winners;
- Short losing runs;
- Low-risk staking plan;
- Stake sizes can be scaled out to compound profits;
- Super-cheap on the annual plan;
- Selective number of tips;
- Prices easy to obtain.
- Requires BOG prices to get the best results.

How to Make the Most Money With the Racing Expert
Here are my top three pro tips for getting results with the Racing Expert.
1: Scale Your Bet Sizes
The high strike rate comes at the expense of a low(ish) ROI.
To get around this, you might want to carefully increase your stake sizes so that the ROI is applied to a greater amount of money.
Progressive staking is a complex subject.
But with the high number of winners and short losing runs, I'd be tempted to take a slightly more aggressive approach to scaling out my bet sizes.
Here's one that I like.
The 'Profit-Scaling' Staking Strategy
Assume a starting bankroll of 100 points.
At the end of each month (or fixed interval):
1: If My Bankroll has GROWN:
I'd re-divide my current bankroll in £'s by 100 points to get the new stake size in £'s per point;
2: If My Bankroll has NOT GROWN:
Stick with the current stake size.
My reasoning for not scaling down is that it's incredibly unlikely that I'm going to go bust betting at 1 point per selection with a 100 point bankroll.
Therefore, scaling down on a losing run has no advantage in terms of risk management – only serving to reduce my profit in £'s when the system returns to winning ways.
But by scaling up when the bank has grown – I'm taking advantage of the system's edge.
I feel that this 'split approach' would work better than a global, fluid-percentage staking strategy.
If you disagree with this – please let me know your thoughts in the comments section below 🙂
Image: Racing Expert user testimonial.
2: Use BOG Bookmakers
With the system's ROI being admittedly quite thin – you'll need to use BOG bookmakers to maximise your profits.
The good news is that you'll be taking prices that may not be obvious in value to the bookmakers' trading teams.
Allowing you to fly under the radar for longer.
With that said, I'd still recommend rotating your accounts.
3: Maximise Your Savings With the Annual Plan
If you take the annual subscription – you'll effectively be paying around £5 a month for tips.
Compare this to the standard £14.95 monthly plan.
And the yearly discount is clearly a no-brainer.
Because it'll barely make a dent in your average monthly profit figures.
I have been making money online since 2007.
By using a range of strategies that include:
Affiliate marketing, blogging, matched betting, casino-based advantage play, value betting, arbitrage betting, Betfair trading, online surveys, rewards platforms, forex trading, writing eBooks, dropshipping, and more.
(Each with varying degrees of success!)
I have previously worked as a project consultant and content creator in the 'make money online' and betting system niches for start-up companies.
But I now specialise in reviewing online money-making systems and products to see if they are scams or the real-deal.
Oh, and I've written more blog posts than what's probably considered healthy!
I've created Online Income Solutions to help you get straight to the business of making money online – without wasting your time or money.

U.S. Supreme Court
Moore v. Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co., 291 U.S. 205 (1934)
Moore v. Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co.
No. 173
Argued January 10, 11, 1934
Decided February 5, 1934
1. The jurisdiction of the District Court is to be determined by the allegations of the complaint. P. 291 U. S. 210.
2. The Federal Employers' Liability Act, in providing that the employee shall not be held guilty of contributory negligence, nor to have assumed the risk, in any case under it where violation by the carrier of "any statute enacted for the safety of employees" contributed to the injury or death, embraces the Federal Safety Appliance Acts. P. 291 U. S. 210.
3. The Federal Employers' Liability Act and Safety Appliance Acts are in pari materia, and an action under the former in connection with the latter may be brought in the federal court of a district in which the carrier is doing business. P. 291 U. S. 211.
4. A state statute prescribing the liability of common carriers for negligence causing injuries to employees while engaged in intrastate commerce provided that no employee should be held guilty of contributory negligence, or to have assumed the risk, in any case where violation by the carrier "of any statute, state or federal, enacted for the safety of employees" contributed to the injury.
(1) That the provisions of the Federal Safety Appliance Acts for the safety of employees are in effect read into the state law. P. 291 U. S. 212.
(2) An action under the state statute against an interstate railroad for personal injuries suffered by an employee while engaged in intrastate commerce and caused by a violation of the Federal Safety Appliance Acts is not an action arising under the laws of the United States, and, diversity of citizenship being present, may be brought in the federal court in the district of the plaintiff's residence. Jud.Code, § 51; 28 U.S.C. § 112. P. 291 U. S. 211.
5. The Federal Safety Appliance Acts embrace all locomotives, cars, and similar vehicles used on any railroad which is a highway of interstate commerce, and the duty to protect employees by the appliances prescribed exists even where the vehicle and employee are engaged, at the time of his injury, in intrastate commerce. P. 291 U. S. 213.
6. Questions relating to the scope or construction of the Federal Safety Appliance Acts arising in actions in state courts for injuries sustained by employees in intrastate commerce are federal questions reviewable by this Court. P. 291 U. S. 214.
7. Where the Circuit Court of Appeals has erroneously reversed judgment upon the ground that jurisdiction was wanting, the case will be remanded to it for consideration of the other questions presented. P. 291 U. S. 217.

A wheely great welcome to Paul Ashman Cycling on this sunny May afternoon. I am sat writing this while awaiting my operation. Those who have followed my woes over the last year will know where I am at but having been cancelled this week it is scheduled for next week and hopefully these head pains will soon be a thing of the past and my racing and riding can get back on track.
So as I write this the most beautiful race in the world is on the TV, yes the Giro D'Italia. This race is the 100th edition of the first grand tour of the year and the organisers have pulled out all stops to make this a special one. Starting on the gorgeous island of Sardinia the race has since moved to Sicily for the summit finish on Mount Etna and now it is firmly back on the mainland. The route is one of testing climbs, demanding time trials, explosive sprint stages and parcours made for breakaways. Already the pink jersey has changed hands four times and given us five winners. The sprints for Greipel and Gaviria and a classic summit win from Polanc amongst the stages so far.
The big boys will come to the fore this Sunday with the first serious summit finish of Blochaus mountain and who will bet against the likes of Nibali, Quintana and our own G battling out on the slopes. What we do know is the next 15 stages of this race will throw up some surprises and give us some superb racing. Catch it all on Quest TV and Eurosport and enjoy!!!
I am off to the Spin Cycling Festival this weekend so check out my instagram for updates throughout the day on Saturday from this cool fashionable show and until next time happy riding one and all.

- International
- Health system has reduced costs by USD 62 million, reduced nearly 11,000 bed days in the ICU, with more than 260 lives saved in past 12 months.
- www.philips.com
- firstname.lastname@example.com
As the nation's clinician shortage continues to grow [1], rural areas are increasingly struggling to provide patients with quality access to the personalized care they need in a timely manner. In widely dispersed communities, clinical teams have limited access to the expertise from intensivists, specialists and critical care nurses. Patients can be transferred to tertiary care centers in the nearest city, but this option requires expensive and lengthy air transfers. Leveraging telehealth technology can help rural hospitals increase access to quality care by providing the bedside team with expert guidance and 24/7 monitoring of critically ill patients.
With the current shift to value-based care, it's critical for healthcare organizations to prioritize both quality of care and cost containment. Achieving this double aim can be especially challenging for rural health systems with limited resources and specialty access.

Business Leader, eICU, Philips
- USD 62 million in healthcare costs by reducing ICU and hospital length of stay;
- Nearly 11,000 ICU bed days through faster response times to complications; and
- 260 lives.
"Avera implemented eCARE ICU to support providers in rural communities by reducing physician isolation and improving the collaboration of providers," said Deanna Larson, CEO, Avera eCARE. "Implementing Philips' eICU program helped our organization transform how we provide critical care while simultaneously reducing healthcare costs. The program ensures the most critical patients are continuously monitored, by leveraging the utilization of telehealth specialists to evaluate and alert bedside providers of the patients' condition."
"With the current shift to value-based care, it's critical for healthcare organizations to prioritize both quality of care and cost containment. Achieving this double aim can be especially challenging for rural health systems with limited resources and specialty access," said Christine Storm, Business Leader, eICU, Philips. "The impressive clinical and financial outcomes Avera has achieved through their eCARE ICU program reveal how connected technology and remote monitoring programs can not only improve clinical outcomes, but also help rural populations get the personalized care they need, when they need it."
The Philips eICU program combines predictive analytics, data visualization and advanced reporting capabilities with Philips' expertise to help deliver vital information to bedside caregivers. Receiving this remote support empowers the bedside team to make better informed, more efficient and effective value-based care decisions. Philips eCareManager, the program's source-agnostic software, provides clinicians with a single integrated view of patient data, allowing care teams to productively manage a large population of patients.
Philips' full suite of integrated solutions will be on display in booth #3812 at the 2018 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition taking place March 5-9, 2018 at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, NV.

October is the Month of the Rosary, students started the term with a Rosary liturgy and have been praying the rosary in the classrooms.
We focus on how our Mother Mary takes our prayers to God and intercedes on our behalf.
To Mary by Joy Cowley
Mary, Mother of God,
you are the woman who is always there.
You celebrate with us the Bethlehems and Nazareths of our daily family living.
You stand by us in our Calvarys and are with us at Pentecost.
Whatever our need or wherever we are,
Mother of all seasons you are there.
The images we have of you will change with our life's journey.
You are the warmth of home and hearth.
You are the fertile full moon embracing land and tide.
You are the little secret thing, the kauri seedling rooted in earth and growing upwards,
outwards, to the Queendom of Heaven.
You are the Ark of the New Covenant. You are the clay chalice which holds the wine of Life.Ko te koha koe
Ko te koha koe
You are the silent space of prayer in our lives.You are the yes to God, our yes to growth, our yes to the birthing of Christ in the world.
And however we see you or fail to see you, you are always there.
Religious Education Term 4
This term our focus is on the Sacrament Strand.
How am I called to be holy and serve?
Aroha team: The focus is on the Sacraments of Healing and how we are Confirmed in the Spirit.
Whakapono: The focus is on the Sacraments of Forgiveness and Food for Life.
Maramatanga and Tika: The focus is on the Sacraments of Welcome into holiness through Baptism.

It's not easy to find an auto to match you if you have 5 or 6 in your family, as well as great deals of luggage. Actually, you might not locate anything and also need to pay for a couple of taxis to your hotel to make sure that they can aid you out with renting a car big sufficient for your demands.

Leijer excited by Celtic test
Melbourne Victory captain Adrian Lejier sees Wednesday night's friendly with Celtic at AAMI Park as a golden opportunity to gauge themselves against a world-class team.
Melbourne Victory captain Adrian Lejier sees Wednesday night's friendly with Celtic at AAMI Park as a golden opportunity to gauge themselves against a world-class team.
Leijer believes the high-profile date with the Scottish giants will present a great test of where Victory are at.
"It's always a learning curve, the best place to learn is against high-quality teams," Leijer said on Tuesday.
"It is a good eye-opener for people, especially for [our] youngsters... [It] gives them a little taste of what it's like in Europe."
"A lot of them have dreams to play in Europe and test [themselves] against high-quality players who play week-in, week out in Europe."
Victory's preparations for the glamour friendly have been limited, with the club only returning back for pre-season on July 4.
While conceding the game may have arrived early, Leijer is nonetheless excited about the challenge and confident Victory will put on a good show.
"We have to be realistic about the way we're going to play, it's nowhere near our best, but I'm confident in the boys," Leijer said.
"It is important [from] day one in a new season to go out and perform well."
Leijer highlighted the changing shift in Australian football that clubs of Celtic's standing derive benefits from playing A-League opposition.
"Years ago you would see the big teams come out and they would be playing against the Socceroos," Leijer said. "Now big teams are coming out and playing against club teams in Australia."
"That speaks volumes for the league, how far it's come and how much respect it's starting to get worldwide."
From a personal perspective, the defender played down his likely matchup with Celtic's star striker Georgios Samaras.
"Obviously you show him a bit of respect. At the end of the day, he's a footballer, I'm a footballer, and we'll go at it to see who comes out best," he said.
With more than 20,000 expected for the match, a Victory win would be the ideal result, not that Leijer is looking too far ahead.
"We're not going to go partying like we've won the World Cup... but if we were to beat them it would be a fantastic result and give us a lot of confidence heading into the season," Leijer said.

Though a complaint has been lodged at the Lodhi Colony police station, no FIR has been filed and no arrests have been made yet. Additional DCP (south) Chinmoy Biswal told The Indian Express that they are seeking legal opinion over the complaint that they have got against the 34 pilots.
Lalit Gupta reportedly filed the complaint after he read the messages in the screenshots that were sent to him.
As per the initial probe, there is an ongoing tiff between pilots and the DGCA over the proposal to increase the notice period for pilots from 6 months to one year. The pilots apparently were discussing the same issue on the WhatsApp group on Monday. Some even said that Gupta had asked the airline to check the mental alertness of all these pilots as they could not even quote a designation properly. Responding to such messages, the agitated members of the group allegedly foul language and also abused Gupta in the chat. The pilots have reportedly accepted their mistake before the police and have also apologised for their act.

Denying to comment further due to a pending enquiry in the matter, the airlines said that it will take appropriate measures as per company policy, and in compliance with the law.
While Jet Airways accepted, SpiceJet claimed that none of their pilots had written anything against any DGCA official.

Assume the Friendship
My mantra lately has been "Assume the friendship." I don't remember where I first heard this, I'm sure it was on someone's podcast, but it struck me like lightning. Why hadn't I thought of this before?
I tend to feel uncomfortable and awkward in new situations. Feeling out of place is a regular experience for me. I'm terrible at small talk, I never know what to do with my hands, and I am hyper-aware of every word that comes out of my mouth. This is why I prefer writing. I'll revisit my fumbles later that night, usually around 3:00 am. Some will haunt me for years to come: Why did I say that?!
But lately, before entering unfamiliar territory, I've been psyching myself up with the phrase "Assume the friendship." To me, this means that I already belong in that space. I remind myself at networking events, coffee dates, or social events that we're all there for the same reason. There is no competition, no hierarchy to learn and follow. The people there want to know me and they already accept me. If they didn't, none of us would have showed up. So we're already on the same level. Let that sink in. I'll give you some time. It only took me 31 years.
Next I pretend the other person has been my friend for ages. And guess what? It works. I won't necessarily dive deep and discuss my darkest secrets, but a little bit of self-disclosure never hurt anyone. And I've discovered that people actually want to cut through the small talk to discuss real issues. In the last month, I've had conversations about the fear of aging, sexual assault, and vulnerability as an agent of change. These conversations were with people I had just met. We trudged through the awkward parts ("Hi, what do you do, where are you from, blah blah blah") and found common ground.
Here's the thing. People aren't nearly as judgmental as we think they are. I've learned that most people want to connect on a deeper level. And they really don't care what I say or how I look. They care most about how they feel. They want to feel seen and heard.
If I just show up with an open, friendly demeanor, other people will think positively of me. At the very least, they won't think negatively of me. How's that for groundbreaking? It seems simple, but for someone with social insecurities, this is a game-changing realization.
Next time you enter a new situation, tell yourself that you're already friends with everyone there. It's funny how we can trick the mind into believing whatever we need it to believe in the moment. That's my way of saying that assuming the friendship totally works.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the '2 Elul' tag.
The students asked Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, "Why did the Manna not fall once a year?"
He responded, "I will explain it with a parable. There was once a king who had a son, and he gave him his stipend once a year. The son only came to visit his father once that year. The king then decided to give him his stipend every day. So too Israel, if a person had four or five children would be concerned that his children would die, perhaps there would not be more Manna. They would then pray to God daily."
Yoma Chapter 8
12 August
In 30 BCE, today Cleopatra committed suicide. According to Josephus, the Egyptian tried to convince her lover and co-ruler, Marc Antony, to give her control over lands to the east including Syria and Palestine. Herod was so afraid of her that he reportedly built the fortress at Masada as place of refuge should she attack. While Antony did not give into all of her demands, he did give her control over Jericho and several towns surrounding the ancient city.
2 Elul in History
The first printing of the Shulchan Aruch (Code of Jewish Law) authored by Rabbi Joseph Caro (1488-1575) was completed in the Holy Land on this date in 1555.

This resource is of interest for students who need accessible books that they can carry with them in a digital format for reading on a computer or PDA. While this sounds ideal for blind or visually impaired students, it would really work for any student enrolled in many basic text classes.
Here's a listing of more than twenty sources for
public domain e-Books.
Most of the listed sites are free, but even those that charge seem reasonably affordable. And, because the books listed are in the public domain, that tells you there aren't going to be any of the latest best-sellers among them. However, that doesn't mean a student couldn't get some required reading material, such as Shakespeare or some other classic work, in an accessible format at one of these sites.

Help Needed From Members In The USA re Elgin 562/546/542 Pallet Fork
jaycey replied to jaycey's question in Watch Repairs Help & AdviceIndeed, I'd be quite happy for them to remove the pallets and send them in a regular envelope as a small letter. Many thanks for the offer, unfortunately it doesn't appear that the 462 pallets are compatible with the 562

Alternatively, there is this movement https://www.ebay.com/itm/Elgin-562-8Days-Parts-Movement/184002298464?hash=item2ad7644260:g:vfoAAOSwt6RdrGMN I can see from the pictures the pallets are present but the seller is unwilling to ship to the UK. I would be more than willing to send the money to a member (respected) in the USA to purchase for me. Remove the pallets and just send me them. If anyone can help me, I would be happy to pay a little for their time and effort getting me the pallets. Many thanks.
That's perfect & exactly what I was looking for, thanks! Anyone else who's changing Seiko mainsprings, contact WatchGuy if you replace a spring not listed. The 4R36 should be added soon
Nail on the head exactly! I mostly head over to the Roland Ranfft movement database when ordering mainsprings (which I replace as a matter of course with every service) Although he has the Seiko movements in the database, he lists only the part number for the barrel/mainspring complete. I will probably try and contact him regarding adding to those part numbers with actual spring replacement measurements. In the meantime though, it would be great to just have 'place' where we can collate the information for him and others to feed off whilst it builds. It will just make life a lot easier for all watchmakers in the future.
Seiko Mainspring Database?
jaycey posted a question in Watch Repairs Help & AdviceI was wandering... As many Seiko complete barrel/mainsprings are beginning to command a kings ransom, has anyone seen or thought about an online resource for calibre/mainspring sizes when replacing just the mainsprings? With a little care, just the mainsprings are replaceable & it would be a lot easier to look-up the spring size rather than measuring it. I'm about to service a 4R36 so will be measuring that...
How to apply Fixodrop without using an epilame bottle
jaycey replied to VWatchie's question in Watch Repairs Help & AdviceI've just bought a small amount of the Horotec Episurf-Neo, which is advertised as a 'next gen' epilame treatment. Directions for use say 30 second dip, 60 second dry at air temperature. So no heat required. I too am looking for a cheap DIY alternative to the special dip bottle. I've been experimenting with the little filter baskets from the water inlets on washing machines! Haven't found the perfect solution yet, but I'm working on it!
i need your opinion, is this kif installed correctly?
jaycey replied to AP1875's question in Watch Repairs Help & AdviceKeep us updated, I and presumably the rest of the replica fora be interested in interchangeability between shock springs. I never did see it with the ETA clones. The 7750 copy is quite nice, until you get to the auto bridge
i need your opinion, is this kif installed correctly?
jaycey replied to AP1875's question in Watch Repairs Help & AdviceGood luck, their aim was the same with the ETA clones but they continue to use inferior material for screws and springs and this is a major downfall in their clones. All the current Rolex clones are instantly recognisable as copies by their balance assemblies. Not even close...
i need your opinion, is this kif installed correctly?
jaycey replied to AP1875's question in Watch Repairs Help & AdviceBe warned. I have been through similar situations like this with Chinese clones of ETA movements. They use their own poor material springs and do not follow authentic sizing. Take your time and try to reinstall the spring that came out of it.

I highly recommend the copy, it's very well made. The blades supplied with it are usable but not brilliant. I use Gillette 7 o'clocks or Astra Platinums, available on eBay for peanuts.
I've been using straight razors (cut throats) for around 15 years, I also own a Merkur Future clone (available for around £13 on Ali Express) Some of my straight razors are 100-150 years old and I am extremely proud to be part of their history. Most were manufactured in either Sheffield or Solingen and I have purchased them from all over the world. It would be wonderful to see their journey through time! I must add...They have, if cared for, a few hundred more years life in them The Merkur Future clone is for when I have a hangover, it's a excellent DE (safety razor) with a Gillette 7 o'clock blade

Der Glueckspilz did the trick - much higher energy ensued and the day went remarkably well after that.
This all happened on Friday, the 13th of September, 2019, on the day of the Harvest Moon.
After some enthusiastic Harvest Moon celebrations, I had a lot of energy and it was already midnight.
So I made myself a 3D Happy Mushroom instead of sleeping.
At first I thought it was a Glueckspilz too but it turned out that this one was a MAGIC MUSHROOM instead :-)

Of course, whenever high energy objects appear, Mens are immediately drawn to them.

Aaand ... the Magic Mushroom became a MEME.
The Magic Mushroom became a MEME.
And we were still not quite done.
A story, The Magic Mushroom, needed to be written.
And here it is.
Once upon a time, in a beautiful and blessed kingdom, there lived a young man who was even more sun blessed than everyone else.

A Honiara man has said while he supports Malaita Ma'asina Forum and Transparency Solomon Islands' call on people not to sell their Voter ID cards to intending candidates and politicians, the call is only a fraction of the overall solution.
A Sammy Maeara, originally from Malaita Province, recently told SIBC News the two watchdog groups are only looking at one end of the issue.
He says what people are doing is just a reaction out of their frustrations over leaders who are not performing as expected.
Resembling the MMF and TSI's efforts as groups who are trying to clean the downstream of a dirty river without going straight to its source- Mr Maeara says he appreciates their call.
But he says in any transaction two parties must be involved, which means both voters, intending candidates and politicians are involved in the vote buying issue.
Mr. Maeara calls on both intending candidates and politicians to show maturity and responsibility not to encourage or entertain such practice.
He says it seems the Bio Metric Voter Registration has also taken the Solomon Islands Electoral Commission by surprise.

Today's Topic: The Principle of Increasing Measure
Today's Text: 2 Peter 1:8-9 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
I was awakened this morning by the sound of the snowplow. He is so consistent. Every morning following a snowfall he makes his first pass in front of our house at 5:30 am. I waited for the second pass which usually occurs within 10 minutes. This morning it was 40 minutes. I actually fell back asleep, which is rare for me. His second pass woke me up, and I got up to shovel the driveway and the wall of snow created by the plow. Grandkids would be arriving within the hour.
As I was running the snow blower, I thought about today's Scripture passage. I thought about the principle of increasing measure. My snow removal was a real-time illustration of this principle. You see, I had not removed the last snowfall from the driveway. I had been out of town. It was a minimal amount, but then the freezing rain had come, with a little more snow on top of that. Consistent traffic on our driveway had packed it down, but it was rutted and bumpy. The snow blower was bouncing. My feet were slipping on ice which was exposed in the newly blown areas. I was tempted to not remove any more snow and just pack this two inches down also. At least it wouldn't be so slippery.
As I finished removing the snow, I thought about how we make similar decisions in our lives and then experience the principle of increasing measure. It is equally valid in the negative and the positive world.
First, in the negative world of sin, every choice we make to ignore sin will only bring an increasing measure of sin. Sin is a weed, and unless the soil of your heart is being consistently cultivated with the Word of God, those weeds will choke out the harvest of righteousness. Sin will take over. You will become nearsighted, and unable to focus on things of the future because you are only focused on the immediate. That will eventually lead to blindness, and you will not be able to see God at work in any part of your life. That will lead to forgetfulness, when even the memory of God's grace is covered by the desire to fulfill the sinful pleasures of the world.
The Bible gives us some good advice at this point –
- "Do not let the sun go down on your anger" (Ephesians 4:26)
- "Avoid even the appearance of evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22)
- "See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many." (Hebrews 12:15)
- "Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." (Matthew 7:17-18)
Be careful, brothers and sisters in Christ, that you do not succumb to the principle of increasing measure by allowing a single sin to go unchecked in your heart. It will multiply and choke out the seeds of faith that have been planted. You will become increasingly inward focused. Finding human solutions and fixing human pain will consume you. Gratifying self will suppress grace. Bitterness will bury your beauty.
But on the positive side, the principle of increasing measure works equally well. In fact, because it is empowered by the Holy Spirit of God, it is guaranteed successful. The seed that brings this abundant harvest is faith, which must be watered with the knowledge of God. As our knowledge grows, it will be productive in changing our character and effective in conquering our conceit. We will become mirrored reflections of the character of Christ – humble servants of others who bring glory to God.
But again, let me caution you – it takes a determined and intentionally effort to accomplish this. Just as it was not my neighbors responsibility to clean my driveway, it is not the pastor's or the small group leader's responsibility to make you grow up in Christ. You must do it. You must study. You must pray. You must apply the truth to your life. You must let the knowledge of God transform your mind and influence your choices. And as you do, God will abundantly increase your faith and keep you from being unproductive and ineffective.
The choice is yours. It always will be. Will you choose to have an increasing measure of self or the Savior? Will you choose to let bitterness, resentment, gossip, slander, hate, lust, adultery, covetousness, envy, or any of the other items on the long list of sin continue to stick to your driveway and just drive over it as if it isn't there? Or will you choose to put your hands to the spiritual snow blower powered by the Holy Spirit and remove every connection to sin so that God can fill you with an ever-increasing measure of His Son's character? The choice is yours.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syria's Kurds are trying to forge ties with Damascus as they seek to protect gains made in seven years of war, wary of their unpredictable U.S. ally and more ready than ever to negotiate with President Bashar al-Assad.
The main Kurdish groups have emerged among the few winners of the conflict in Syria, carving out autonomous rule over large parts of the north under the control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) militia.
They have mostly avoided conflict with Assad, at times even fighting common foes -- including rebels his forces are gradually crushing with help from Russia and Iran.
Talks between the Syrian Kurds and Damascus have now begun on a return of state employees and repairs to one of Syria's most important pieces of infrastructure: the Tabqa dam, the country's largest, which the SDF took from Islamic State last year with U.S. air power.
A top Kurdish official has also signalled the fighters could join any future offensive against rebels holding Idlib province bordering Turkey, and cooperate more widely against Turkey, which has sent forces into an arc of Syria's northwest.
A decision to stop calling their police force by its Kurdish name, "Asayish", is another step that appears aimed at overhauling the region's image with an eye to its future.
Syria's Kurds, which the Baathist state systematically persecuted for years, say they do not seek independence, but they hope a political deal will safeguard their autonomy.
For the first time, Assad said in May he was "opening doors" for talks with the SDF, while also threatening force. A deal between them could settle the conflict in most of Syria.
But there is no sign of Damascus coming to the table yet, and analysts say Assad is in no rush as he has fast recovered ground and his position is growing stronger.
"We have a conviction that channels must be open...the constitution, the political process, these will not be solved without the regime," said Ilham Ahmed, a senior Kurdish official in the SDF's political wing. "The regime is not going anywhere."
With the Kurdish YPG militia at its forefront, the SDF holds around a quarter of Syria, the biggest chunk outside state control. About 2,000 U.S. forces are deployed in the region across the north and east, rich in oil, water and agricultural land -- important leverage for the Kurds.
The YPG joined forces with the United States more than three years ago, becoming its main Syrian partner in the fight against Islamic State. The alliance flew in the face of U.S. ties with NATO member Turkey, which views the YPG as terrorists linked to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
Washington has avoided making any political promises to the Kurds and opposes their autonomy ambitions. Conflicting U.S. statements over Syria have put them on guard, and they worry Washington may ultimately put its ties with Turkey first.
U.S. President Donald Trump said in April he wanted to withdraw troops from Syria soon, while tempering that by expressing a desire to leave a "strong and lasting footprint".
Other U.S. officials have played down the odds of a withdrawal any time soon. The U.S. military has at times used lethal force to defend SDF territory against pro-government forces.
"It's not clear what they want," Ahmed told Reuters.
The SDF has become wary, especially after an "American silence" during a Turkish offensive on Syria's Kurdish Afrin region this year. "We felt let down," she said.
Despite this, she said the deployment of U.S. forces in nearby Manbij sent a strong message after Turkey threatened to march on the town.
Henri Barkey, an international relations professor at Lehigh University in the United States, said U.S. policy has pushed Kurdish leaders towards Damascus.
"If you're a Syrian Kurd, you have to think about the day Trump decides to withdraw," he said. "You have a president who can change his mind and order policies that are completely contradictory."
Syrian Kurdish leaders have moved more cautiously than Kurds across the border in Iraq who voted for independence in a referendum last year. The vote, which Washington opposed, plunged them into crisis and regional isolation. Eventually, they were forced to backtrack.
Last year, the Kurdish-led authorities in north Syria embarked on elections to set up governing bodies based on the political ideas of PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan. But they have now indefinitely postponed the final stage of the election.
Analysts say friction with pro-Damascus Arab tribes poses a challenge to the Kurdish forces, and Assad may seek to benefit from the discord.
Pictures of Ocalan, revered by the YPG, were taken down last month in Qamishli, a city it controls on the border with Turkey. A local municipal statement said this was to "beautify and organise" the streets.
Last week, the region's police changed its name and flag, a move which leading Kurdish politician Aldar Xelil said was "out of consideration" for Arab cities the SDF seized from Islamic State including Raqqa, which had been the jihadists' Syrian capital.
"This way the (police) force will be for everyone," he said.
Syrian state officials have highlighted Raqqa as a key target for "liberation" from foreign occupiers - a reference to American forces. An SDF-backed council now runs the city, much of which was destroyed by months of U.S. air strikes.
Critics say U.S. recovery aid has fallen short.
Fixing the hydroelectric Tabqa dam near Raqqa is a top priority. Without the government's help, restoring it would need major foreign aid, Ahmed said. Talks over collaborating on health and education could follow.
"It could pave the way, play a positive role in growing trust for us to take it a step further," Ahmed said.
