Focusing on the needs of Residents
Community Oriented Governance: Government is about problem-solving. Through the use of presently-existing open-source software, each and every citizen should be able to alert local government of infrastructure and crime problems. Through technology, citizens can directly help local government track problems and track problem trends. (2/1/2012) (Inspired by Google Maps; Houston's Pothole Tracker program; Mumbai's Pothole Tracker/Fill-in program; Seattle's Street Light Repair Tracking program; and a variety of self-reporting smart phone apps like Spothole, Pothole Tracker, ParkMobile, Spothero, ParkingMobility, Tip44, and more.)
Green Lantern Program (Community Oriented Policing): Technology can be everywhere citizens would want police to be. Through technology, citizens can help themselves, their neighborhoods and police. (7/15/2017) (Inspired by Detroit's Green Light program, ISpy Neighborhood Watch software, and other virtual neighborhood watch programs, such as NextDoor and FlockSafety. Also inspired by The Neighbors smart phone app by The Ring and Tip44.)
Safe Routes to Schools: Make sure street and school-route improvements are multi-generational, safe and convenient for people of all ages and abilities traveling by foot, bicycle, automobile, and public transportation. The primary focus will initially be on the 2 mile radius around schools that kids are required to walk instead of use the bus. Make school zones a priority for neighborhood street and sidewalk improvements, starting with the 31 elementary schools contained in the Fort Wayne Community School District. (2/25/2019)(Inspired, in part, by the Tim Smith campaign.)
Children's and Senior's Safety House Program: Reinstate and update former neighborhood Safe House program. Work in partnership with pre-existing programs such as the Early Childhood Alliance. (2/7/2019)(Inspired by Los Angeles' "Safe House Community Program.")
Reroute Economic Development Dollars to Public Safety Needs: Shift focus away from Downtown development, but does not abandon Downtown. No more new Downtown Improvement District "investment" from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2023, effective 11:59 pm EST November 5, 2019. Instead, redirect any future potential "investment" back into Districts and neighborhoods. (1/1/2015)
Water and Sewage Infrastructure Debt: Review City Utilities revenue and expense reports to find funds to pay down sewage tunnel and water- and sewage-related infrastructure debt. May need to hire a forensic accountant to assist in review matter. As needed, reroute funds used for Public Real Estate Development projects from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2023, effective 11:59 pm EST November 5, 2019, to aforementioned debt. Also review current billing practices, make business revisions as needed. (2/7/2019)
Revise Riverfront: Revise Riverfront development and follows a new less-expensive plan – less "artificially-created" development and more "naturally occurring" development. Let small business development take the lead, like it was starting to do in 2004, in plans submitted under the Graham Richard's Administration. (1/1/2015)
SE Strategy/SE Fort Wayne (Revisit Graham Richard's Plans/Requests for Proposal Initiatives): Revisit plans originally submitted under the Graham Richard's Administration as it pertained to Riverfront Development and development in the Southeast Quadrant. What will it take to revitalize Link's Wonderland or the Historic Southside Farmers Market? What can be done to attract a medical facility to the Southeast quadrant? And will the Menard's "free land" near the Public Safety Academy ever be turned into an upscale romantic restaurant? Or any stand-along restaurant? (1/1/2015)
Transportation – Mass Transit (Buses): Work with Citilink to determine why trans-city routes to hospitals take 3 hours or longer, one way. Map out bus stops and bus stop amenities. Are fewer bus stops needed? Are more bus stop amenities needed? Are more buses needed? Are district-based bus hubs needed? Is a secondary private bus service needed? Is a transportation commission needed to study the overall local transportation system and determine where the surpluses and gaps are? (7/15/2017) (Inspired, in part, by my friend Sabrina. Inspired, in part, by Detroit's Public Transit System, Chicago's Public Transit System, and their associated private bus companies. Also inspired, in part, by other cities' use of local public transit system to transport children to school.)
Transportation – Maven Car Sharing Program: Work with General Motors to bring Maven Program to Fort Wayne. (7/15/2017)
Transportation – Autonomous vehicle corridors (Ridesharing): Work with Street Department and Citilink to determine auxiliary routes that currently do or could run parallel to existing busy roadways to prepare for the future likely GM-Lyft rideshare roll-out of autonomous vehicle ride rental program. (7/15/2017)
Transportation – Private Taxi, Towncar and Shuttle Services: Assist local taxi companies into transforming into more relevant mode of transportation that can work supplemental to current mass transit and rideshare options. (3/15/2016) (Inspired by Fort Wayne City Council's passage of a shared-economy/shared-transportation ordinance that eased restrictions on Uber and Lyft without taking into consideration the detrimental impact of the pre-existing local taxi industry.)
Transportation – Public Parking: Work on a more inclusive public parking design and plan implementation that provides for more handicap parking spaces, more bicycle parking, and starts creating spaces specific to motorcycles, compact hybrid/electric cars, golf carts/electric vehicles and oversized personal trucks. One size parking space does not fit all. (7/15/2017) (Inspired by local motorcycle enthusiasts and Hoosier Park Racing & Casino.)
Special needs – Unsheltered homeless: Remove "Do Not Sleep" signs in public spaces. Increase restroom and waste management options in public spaces. Work with gas stations, libraries, and fast food restaurants on displaying information in restrooms promoting "self-help." Utilize municipal-operated/taxpayer-owned properties, that meet certain requirements as to staffing and capacity, as temporary extreme weather shelters for the homeless and others in need. Work with other governmental units to utilize their taxpayer-owned properties, that meet certain requirements as to staffing and capacity, as additional temporary extreme weather shelters for the homeless and others in need. Work with local churches to expand extreme weather options in a non-denominational way. No more purchasing "anti-vagrant" benches to fend off the homeless at as they are uncomfortable for expecting mothers during the day. (1/1/2015)
Special needs – Temporary Housing/Camping: Work with Public Works and City Council to craft regulations that create camping space on taxpayer-owned, municipal-operated real estate adjacent to the current Rivergreenway. (1/1/2015)
Special needs – Short-term Housing/Tiny Homes: Work with Public Works and City Council to craft regulations that create to be built on private property. May also need to work with area homebuilders associations. (1/1/2015)
Special needs – Blind and/or hearing impaired: Work with restaurants to help better promote their large print and braille menus. Work with movie theaters to help better promote hearing and visual aid offerings. Work with museums to create audio tours for the visually-impaired. Work with the League for the Blind and Disabled, local Lions Clubs, and other local social service organizations to create audio and visual aids in public spaces for those with visual and auditory impairments. Also need to work with museums, hotels, and Visit Fort Wayne to create walking tours and other tourism products specifically for this community – something to work in tandem with Turnstones special Olympic efforts but in a broader, more inclusive way. (1/1/2015)
Special needs – Aging: Work with Public Works and City Council to craft regulations requiring private public restrooms have in-stall trash cans that can accommodate adult sanitary napkins and diapers (Depends) with discretion. (2/28/2019)
Special needs --Mobility impaired: Work with Street Department to make sure new sidewalk improvements include additional width, at least 24 inches up to 36 inches, to accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility scooters (Hoverounds). (2/28/2019)
Special needs – Pregnant women and Breast-feeding mothers: Work with restaurants and retailers to develop local programs and signage that makes allowances for women to breast-feed their babies in public spaces. Work with City Council to update local public nudity/public indecency laws. (2/7/2019) No more purchasing "anti-vagrant" benches to fend off the homeless at as they are uncomfortable for expecting mothers during the day. (1/1/2015)
Special needs – Fishermen and non-hunting nature enthusiasts: Allow Rivergreenway, and any new public space development that sits on top of the existing Rivergreenway (such as Headwaters Park, the Old Fort, Promenade Park, Lawton Skate Park, Guilden Park, Bloomingdale Park, etc), to be open 24 hours. All other parks not part of the Rivergreenway system will be closed at the later of sundown or posted times. Work to create Rivergreenway Volunteer Ranger program to help police rivergreenway. Work to create Rivergreenway Station program to address riverside restroom and trash management needs. (7/15/2017) (Inpsired by nature stops throughout Eerie County, Ohio and lake side park resources in Steuben, DeKalb, LaGrange, Whitley and other Indiana Counties.)
Special needs – "Hobby Farm" pet owners: With approval of Fort Wayne City Council, permit Animal Care & Control and local veterinarians to issue pet licenses for milk-producing female goats (does), effective January 1, 2021, for residents located inside Fort Wayne City limits who own and occupy a residence with at minimum one-third acre parcel (or up to three adjacent city lots equaling one-third acre space). Yard must be fenced in with an outside shed that can adequately house two goats. No residence shall be permitted no more than and no less than two goats. Goats must be collared like dogs, licensed like dogs, vaccinated like dogs, and in general treated as dogs. Residents with goats must still obey the maximum number of domestic, exotic and/or "hobby farm" pets, which is 5. The licensing and keeping of goats will be used as a temporary, 2-year case study (January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022) to determine Animal Care & Control's ability to handle the increased case load of "hobby farm" pets and to determine any special needs overlooked. If the case study with goats is successful, then, with the approval of Fort Wayne City Council, other "hobby farm" pet classes will be studied, starting with chickens. If the case study with goats demonstrates a burden beyond the capacity or capabilities of Animal Care & Control, then goats will no longer be treated as "hobby farm" pets and other classes of "hobby farm" pets will not be studied. Note that local licensing and leash laws may need to be updated. (6/1/2016)
Ramp up Adventure-Based Recreational Offerings: Work with small local businesses, where possible, to bring new outdoor recreation opportunities to Fort Wayne, including but not limited to: a skydiving drop zone, scuba diving and/or snorkeling in man-made "ruins" in local ponds and watering holes, bicycle rentals and other recreational rentals (giant swan-shaped pedal boats, fishing poles, etc) to parks with trails and ponds, outdoor rock climbing (quarry??), increase current offerings of river-based recreational rentals, etc. See if parasailing on any of the local rivers is an option. (6/1/2003)
Focus on More Year Round Regional Recreational Offerings: Work with local and regional fishing-based organizations to better promote fishing as both a sport and a year-round recreational offering. (1/1/2018)

Well its officially 2 months to our wedding (well i guess that is really monday)! But who's counting days :)
The invitations are sent, they are out everyone has received them (or at least i hope), so I can finally show our hard work, planning, stressing, designing etc.! I may if you are lucky give a more detailed version later, but for now its the finish product! All the pieces are in Kentucky, and I can't photograph them till late July!
Here was the inspiration board for the invitations :)
I want to thank all the worker bees in the wedding sweat shop, and everyone that helped proof read, design read, cut, stick, piece, count, lick, glue, etc. on the invitations! We couldn't be happier with how they turned out and how the finish product looked in the envelope! I am so so so pleased! My mom and sister might not ever do this again ;)
With the help of some great companies, we were able to get it all printed and designed the way we wanted!
EnvelopperInc – printing house
Cards and Pockets – all the envelopes, and the folio
RubberStamps.net – custom stamp for return address and rsvp
Moo – custom Monogram sticker
Envelope liner, belly band – cut and designed by MOH and MOB
Rachel Harrod Photography (bride) – design of the invitation itself
without further explanation here is the invitation :)
so excited to share the beautiful invitations for our wedding :) I am sure some of my readers have been following the whole process!
Thanks for reading :)

Brandon and I went on our first date exactly three years ago, today. He picked me up from my dorm room my Junior year of college, and took me to Legends Diner for a malt and fries. Coincidentally, I was getting over a bad cold and had almost no voice. The first thing I croaked in the car when he picked me up was, "Look, I can breathe!," subsequently breathing in through my once-majorly-congested-nostrils to reveal that only one, indeed, had cleared up. How many of you can say you straight up snorted on a date? Clearly I was putting on all the moves. Smooth, Sal. Real smooth.
Our first date was better than both of us imagined, froggy voice and all. I think it was kind of shocking how much fun we both had (I'll speak for myself on this one, but I have a hunch he had a good time, too). We went on another date the day after, another one the day after that, and then another…. We were "dating" officially (whatever that means) by the end of that week. It was the most natural, and the most fun thing to spend time with Brandon, and I couldn't believe a relationship could start so simply, without drama, without hesitancy, just peaceful.
One minor hitch in the plan was the fact that only a month after we started dating, Brandon would be leaving the country for an entire year. He had taken a job (before we became an item) in the remote country of Bhutan, as an accountant for a resort that had recently opened up. Him and one of his good friends had decided to go there for a year, possibly longer, to be a part of the foundations of this hotel.
One whole year apart, after only dating for a month before, and no visits in between meant a lot of Skype, emails, and patience.
I can't tell you how many hours we logged on Skype… where I would wake up at the crack of dawn California time, just as Brandon was finishing up his day over there. While it was an absolute bummer that he wasn't here during that time, we both agree that the year was still good. One full of growth, lots of communication, and getting to know one another in a way so unlike any other.
I won't lie, I was counting down the days until he would be back…. I started counting down the days the first week he was gone, to tell you the truth.
The day I picked him up from the airport, I was so nervous! I kept thinking, "What if he forgot what I looked like?" (dumb since we had been Skyping the whole time) "What if we don't get along?" "What if we run out of things to say?"
All of that stressing was so pointless, however, and as soon as I saw him, there was that peace again.
The year apart helped us to cherish the little things: holding hands, same time zones, living life together.
Long story short, we both knew where things were going, felt such confidence in our relationship, and knew there was something special. Brandon proposed in March, 6 months after he got back from Bhutan. 4 months after that, we were married!
Life is better with him. He is calm, when I can be crazy, funny, patient, generous, and consistent.
We're best friends, study partners, running buddies, and old geezers.
Who would have thought that a casual malt and fries date 3 years ago would turn into one of the very best things that has happened to me?

Our cottage, Hayloft, was nestled at the end of a quiet drive just outside the small town of Lostwithiel. It … Continue reading A little slice of Cornish heaven

I don't know what's with me why people tend to call me "teacher's pet" wherein I know for myself that I hate sipsip students and dikit students… but somehow I feel that I'm really a TP but not because I'm sipsip or whatsoever because I think I have the inner charm? Kidding!!! Wishing this charm would lead me to a happy lovelife!!! Weeeeh, masingit lang.

Ups and downs.
To summarize my day, I had ups and downs and up again! Kanina, while I was drinking my cucumber, lemon and honey drink… (for good skin and rejuvination), I opened my laptop then suddenly it rebooted by itself!!!!! I was about to cry pero narealize ko na may 30 mins left nalang ako to do my presentation for my housing subject, pero thank God… nagawa ko siya on time…
Rushing myself to school, then went to the wrong classroom.. A little bit shy pero buti nalang arki people din, then the reporting started… I was like… "Guys, nag-attendance na ba? Natawag na ba ako?" Then my classmate's liptint suddenly dropped to my term paper!!!! A red mark on a white term paper!!!! Hell no!!!! Syempre, kailangan maging patient so I used liquid eraser to cover up the mistakes (Oo, sanay nako magtapal ng kamalian ng ibang tao) Then I opened my laptop then restarted it!!! Omg!!! My files are freaking back!!!!! So, I was so ready to be called but my professor ran out of time. :( I went home to my condo unit.. then my crush suddenly invited me to a lunch but I refused to go because I have my exam by 3pm… Gosh!!!! My grades are higher except for one Building Laws suck!!! My professor then announced who is on top for the planning subject (This subject is correlation, you'll take different subjects that you took from first year… like a board exam subject) lol… I got the highest!!!! Weeeee!!!!!!!!
Went to church at Victory Ubelt alone… to thank God for everything!!! I saw my churchmates and I was like, yeah I'm back to church!!!! I went to condo again, then the delivery asked for a exact amount of money kasi wala syang dalang pangchange. Huhu! Bute nalang, nagtatago ako ng mga barya na sana tinago mo din ako. Lol!
So, hi!!! I'm free. Let's talk!

Please stop acting like you care, like we are okay. Please stop saying that I'm still in your mind when I know there's somebody else. Please stop saying sorry if in the first place you know you'd do the same mistakes again. Please stop talking to me because I want to reset my life, my life without you.

Good morning!
It feels like surreal to be back again to Tumblr, spending my morning to my online diary… lol. Anyway, My mom is so over-acting, ginising nya ako ng 5:30 am and my class for today is 3:00 pm but I decided to stand and just feel good vibes today!!!
Good morning Tumblr!!!

jacck-sixx said: Balik tumblr ka na ba? Hahahaha
Perks of being a single at laging walang kausap, sa Tumblr ko na lang ibubuhos lahat-lahat….
Akala ko ikaw na…
It's been almost 8 months noong iniwan mo ako at nang bumitiaw ka.
Until this time, I always think of you.. what are you doing? Busy ka ba? Nagagawa mo ba yung thesis mo ng maayos? At kung iniisip mo pa rin ba ako? O meron ka na bang iniisip na bago at iba?
Mahirap man aminin, pero gusto kong malaman mo na hanggang ngayon ang sakit-sakit parin, hanggang ngayon gusto ko malaman mo na hindi dumadaan ang isang araw na hindi kita naisip at pinagdasal na sana okay ka…
Alam mo, ang hirap-hirap kalimutan bukod sa naging tayo ng birthday mo at sa pinakamemorable kong birthday dahil doon mo ako hiniwalayan ay ikaw ang pinakaminahal ko… Ang tanga-tanga ko bakit ba kasi ako nagkulang, bakit ba kasi hinayaan kita magsawa, bakit ba kasi hindi ako nakuntento sa buhay ko na gusto ko mas higit pa..
Dumating sa punto na napagtanto ko na lahat ng bagay o ambisyon ko ay natutupad ko na, nagkakaroon ako ng mga proyekto bilang isang "Architecture stu
dent", nangangarap ng maraming bagay haggang nalaman ko yung taong pinapangarap ko, hindi na pala ako ang pangarap… na napaliko na sya sa ibang tao. Ang tanga ko lang kasi bakit ba inuna ko yung mga pangarap ko… pero hindi ka man nagtanong na una ka parin dun… na ginagawa ko lahat para sa ating dalawa… pero huli na ang lahat… may iba ka na at masaya ka na at heto ako, nagtytype… nagbabalik loob dito sa online diary ko na susubukan kong kalimutan bawat sakit at alaala mo… Sana makalimutan kita pero hanggang ngayon umaasa pa rin ako na sabihin mo ulit na… Mahal pa rin kita Kael… =)

Ssangyong Rexton long-term review
Can our T-Rexton be tamed outside of its natural habitat? - 17th October 2018
You wouldn't normally call washing a car a project but, in the case of the Rexton, this activity is certainly a decent undertaking.
The first and very obvious challenge is the Ssangyong's size; the second, which becomes apparent almost immediately afterwards, is that you will need to achieve some altitude if you're even to see its roof, never mind give this veldt of steel the sponge and leather treatment. This is hardly the Rexton's fault, of course: if you want a tall, capacious vehicle, then by definition it is going to be big. You just need to allow yourself a good couple of hours if you're going to make a good job of it.
Meanwhile, the Rexton continues to not go wrong. In fact, a fault I'd previously logged, the infotainment's inability to ingest my mobile's address book, is down to operator error. You have to press a symbol on the screen to enable it to download your contacts. That the instruction book for the infotainment system is absent from the owner's pack of this car is my excuse.
There's no reason why the Rexton should go wrong, of course, but the absence of any faults is very pleasing, underlining both the robustness of its construction and the quality of its constituent materials.
True, a total mileage of around 7000 hardly constitutes a major durability trial, but the pattern so far bodes well for the next 70,000 miles, and far beyond. In fact, the Ssangyong service book extends to 26 services at 12,500 intervals, loosely implying a 325,000-mile service life. That probably isn't impossible if it's maintained correctly.
The mechanical soundness of the Rexton, in terms of durability if not finesse, the luxury ambience of its cabin and the long list of electronic driver aids and convenience features nevertheless continue to clash unavoidably with its inability to negotiate a typical British B-road without coming over all turbulent.
The huge 20in wheels and their tyres can't help – their substantial unsprung weight sometimes causing mild shudder – but there's more to its discombobulation than that: the suspension's ability to absorb small to medium bumps is frequently overwhelmed. Given this light commotion, the Ssangyong's directional stability is actually pretty good, and its urge to veer off line relatively limited.
Excellent steering helps: its old-school, fuel-squandering hydraulic assistance provides a consistent, well-judged and pleasingly liquid feel of a kind rarely found these days.
As you will have gathered, though, this is not a vehicle for hard charges down B-roads. Nor is it for hard charges out of side roads onto a busy main – the inside rear wheel lifting enough to spin if you need an urgent departure into the traffic flow.
That the Rexton's rear end is less well planted than its front you'll discover easily enough on wet roundabouts as things turn a little frisky. However, the ESP soon prevents you from presenting a wall of Ssangyong to the road ahead and at higher speeds it hangs on better than these slitherings might suggest. Depositing some heft in the boot helps too.
Musing on all this quite often leads you to imagine what a competitive vehicle the Rexton would be for the money if it had better suspension, and if you can get past the weird sculptures that are its front wings. Which you don't have to view from inside, of course.

Elevation elation - 26th September 2018
"I love the seating position, its height and that you can see over hedges," says my wife, who's been driving the Rexton recently. "It doesn't sound too much like a tractor," she adds, its 2.2 diesel a pleasingly subdued companion. "It's easy to load. But the turning circle isn't great, and it's bumpy over lumps that it shouldn't be bumpy over." Indeed.

Our 4x4 workhorse is proving surprisingly tranquil to drive and practical to live with - 12th September 2018
Having thought that the Rexton would forever consume at least a gallon of diesel every 30 miles, and often noticeably more, I'm now surprised by it consistently breaking through the 30mpg threshold.
True, this is hardly economical in absolute terms – and the figure is aided by my driving it more languidly than I do most other cars – but this is undeniably an improvement, and perhaps may yet be bettered. It makes the occasionally obvious shortcomings of its olde worlde undercarriage easier to bear.
Mind you, a couple of friends clambered aboard the Ssangyong recently and both were impressed by the space and luxury of its cabin. I then waited for them to comment on its ride but neither did, although I've noticed over the years that most car users are surprisingly impervious to jerking suspension.
I wish I could say the same for myself, but as my colleague Steve Cropley also concluded, the Rexton's ride forcibly diverts you from the conclusion that this is a very pleasingly furnished, tough and useful SUV that otherwise makes a strong case for itself. It's also proving utterly reliable and fault-free, aside from the inability (most probably mine) to get the infotainment system to import my contacts from my smartphone.
So I have now done what blokes never want to do – look at the instructions – and discovered that despite the owner's pack containing a handbook as thick as a headstone, the guide to the infotainment system occupies another volume that's not in the car. So this will remain a mystery until I get one.
No need to delve into the big fat book to understand the facilities offered by the message display in the instrument cluster, however.
Operated from the steering wheel, it provides tyre pressure status, trip data, a digital speedo, nav directions and more, besides enabling you to adjust the car's settings. These include the degree of tilt you wish each door mirror to perform when reverse is engaged, to the volume of assorted warnings.
You'll be pleased to hear that the 'computer-on, it's a new dawn' bongs confirming the obvious – you have opened your Rexton's door; you have turned on its ignition – can be banished. Still, they're not as irritating as the pretentious 'Power Beauty Soul' message that used to greet Aston drivers on start up, or assorted Mazdas texting dashboard hellos and goodbyes at you.
Am I getting curmudgeonly? Probably, but the Rexton will serenade you with plenty more bings and bongs if you drift from your lane, fail to buckle up or generally behave in a way that might undermine your right to sit behind the wheel. None of these was enough to prevent my reversing into a painfully solid object recently, so maybe I should shut up.
What doesn't make much noise is the Rexton's drivetrain, which is impressively quiet at a cruise. You can barely hear the diesel, or what must be substantial volumes of air being batted away by the Ssangyong's big, bluff frontage.
That's part of what encourages you to drive this car in the languid way previously alluded to, along with the high-altitude view, which sometimes allows you to see a lot more scenery than you otherwise would. And despite being reasonably well-endowed with seven Mercedes-made gears, the Rexton is not one for darting about, the transmission quite often allowing the engine's revs to sink well off boost.
There's no Sport mode, although you can flick your way through the gears via a little tab on the gearlever's side. Better, though, to accept that the Rexton is the automotive equivalent of slow radio, enjoy the view out and indeed, the view in, such is the luxuriant ambience of its cabin.
Love it:

Clever use of diagrams on the instrument panel - 29th August 2018
A neat feature of the Rexton's instrument panel is a profile graphic which uses animated illustrations to indicate whether any of the car's six hinged body panels are open. So a door opens when you open it. Best is the power tailgate, with its rise illustrated in steps. It's a fine example of what Ford used to call 'surprise and delight' features.

Our car is back on the road and helping another car follow suit - 15th August 2018
After the self-created calamity of reversing the Rexton into a driveway skip (a temporary resident, although that's hardly an excuse), the big grey beast has at last returned, its repair delayed not by the difficulty of getting parts for so new a model but by insurance bureaucracy.
Gratifyingly, the Rexton looks none the worse for its driver's stupidity, its return coinciding with the need to make a couple of long trips: one to Cornwall, another to the Lake District.
It has previously achieved such distances with little effort, if with an unsettling appetite for diesel that has easily dropped well below 30mpg. Since then, it has managed 31.3mpg (tank rather than trip computer measured) during trips long and short, and while that's hardly brilliant for a diesel, it's less mood-dampening than digits in the mid-20s.
And you can't escape the fact that this car is big. Below you'll see it in company with an orange Austin 1300 GT, a recent acquisition undergoing some refurbishment.
The Austin-Morris 1100/1300 was Britain's top-selling car for the best part of the decade from 1962, and was effectively an enlarged Mini – and, like the smaller car, it packed an amazing amount of passenger space into its overall length. Its equivalent today would be a Ford Focus, itself a lot bigger than this 1300 but not as dwarfing as the Rexton.
Of course, the two are barely comparable, but our parking bays and roads are increasingly filled with vehicles occupying a footprint similar to the Ssangyong's. Still, the Rexton is an excellent machine for carrying a heap of tools, along with the dog kennel-sized, hose-festooned box that enables you to depressurise and reflate the Austin's Hydrolastic suspension. At the end of this week, the Rexton will be carrying the new sills and front wing also needed, and when the Austin's bodywork is finished, it will be towing the car home too. It's a very useful vehicle.
And mostly relaxing too: the height of its seating puts you at ease, as does the quiet of its 2.2-litre diesel at a cruise. The Mercedes-sourced automatic is to be part-thanked for that, in fact: its seven speeds make it a lot easier to hide the engine's higher rev harshness. What this 'box is less good at doing, however, is masking the quicksand-like torque hole below 1600 revs.
I've now been caught by this a few times when trying to dart onto a busy roundabout, either on the move or from rest. The pause before the turbocharger pumps hard quite often prompts your heart to do the same. When the surge finally arrives, you'll probably find yourself urgently backing off – this the behaviour of 20th-century turbos.
The answer, you may be thinking, is not to drive the Rexton as if attempting to uncover the sports element of its SUV status, but you do get unexpected encouragement from the hydraulic power steering, which is surprisingly precise and weighted in a way that's disappointingly rare these days. There's also the fact that, up to a point, this big machine points into corners with more enthusiasm – relatively – than you'd expect.
It's light years away from an early Discovery, for instance, as it should be, but if you can put up with the big-wheeled patter and thud, it can be made to get along a little more briskly than its dimensions imply.
Love it:

Our big and burly 4x4 picked a fight with the wrong opponent - 23rd May 2018
Confession time: I recently failed to spot a skip while reversing.
This was in some ways a surprise at the time, because the skip was large, yellow and filled past its rim, making it decidedly visible. It was also in my drive, or to one side of it.
Despite this, and driver aids that include a reversing camera and parking sensors, I caught the side of the Ssangyong on the side of the skip, at the point where a chain is attached for lifting. The result was a big, button-like steel hook canopening the offside rear wing to excruciatingly noisy effect.
What made it worse was the need to drive the Rexton forward again to release it from the skip's grasp, a manoeuvre that pulled one end of the bumper from its moorings.
The net result was damage to the inner and outer rear wing, the bumper, the wheel arch extension and the offside rear door. Not a good moment. It was Friday the 13th, but I'm not superstitious – just too cavalier with reversing in my own space, and forgetful of the skip.
The Ssangyong is now back with its makers for repairs. It's missed, not least for its sheer usefulness. It's surprising how, once you have a vehicle this spacious, you discover loads you can carry that couldn't easily be carried before... and now can't because you have reshaped your wheels.
So, the Rexton wasn't used for carrying a lawn mower for a service, nor collecting some wood, nor carting a very large 'British Leyland' ex-dealer sign that I plan to hang in my garage. Some of these are jobs it will do on its return, easily, because its seats-down load bay is vast.
Filling it will be that bit simpler because the Ultimate comes with a false floor that provides a flat deck, which is removable should you have a tall item to carry. If said tall item is also long, you can double-fold the rear seat, with the base forming a bulkhead and the backrests sitting lower as a consequence. It's a useful, and safer, packaging arrangement that's rare these days.
The Rexton's interior may be part-furnished with ivory quilted leather, but there's no question that it can play the beast of (major) burden. It'll be intriguing to see whether filling its cabin smooths the ride. As previously mentioned, the Rexton's ride is easily its weakest point, and it's fortunate that it has many positives to make this worth putting up with if those plusses are valuable enough to you.
Apart from the Rexton's space, these include its mostly smooth driveline, generous equipment, 2.5-tonne towing capacity, high-rise view out, luxuriant ambience, colourful infotainment system, attractive instruments (including message display zone), comfortable seats and very decent standards of fit and finish.
One of the less obvious pleasures is stepping into a cabin whose appearance is entirely at odds with Ssangyong's lingering reputation for bargain-basement cars. The interior is anything but basement like, and while you wouldn't quite call the Rexton's price a bargain, it's certainly good value and is not a car to generate the uncomfortable feeling that you have simply spent too little.

Being unique on the roads - 9th May 2018
This is not a characteristic that the makers of the Rexton will likely enjoy, but there's slightly foolish pleasure to be had from driving a vehicle an example of which you're unlikely to see coming the other way. That's partly because this Ssangyong is a new model, of course, but also because it's a niche vehicle. For now, it's a pleasingly rare beast.

After an off-road experience to forget, is the SUV really as tough as it looks? - 25th April 2018
The mud-covered lanes where I live have rapidly given the Rexton a coat of filth not inappropriate to its rugged constitution. I plan to unleash a jet-washer on it soon, but there's little point at the moment. And the dirt certainly provides a contrast to the Ssangyong's pristine ivory cabin.
I quite enjoy the Range Rover-esque perversity of a vehicle that dunks itself in deepish puddles and drives out again, although I wonder how practical an ivory interior really is if you plan to off-road regularly.
Then again, a serious off-roader may not be daft enough to order a colour of this hue. And they'd also install rubber mats rather than the Rexton's carpet overmats. In fact, it's not mud that's leaving traces on the upholstery but blue jeans, their dye already tinting the outer edges of the driver's seat cushion.
This despite the fact that I try not to crush this bolster when getting in, because it's massively vulnerable to wear given the Rexton's height. It can be hard to avoid landing on it as you climb aboard, though. To remove the blue, I'll be trying leather cleaner on it shortly.
Talking of off-roading, I indulged in a little burst while the Rexton was on its first photoshoot. It was a very short incline onto a road, from a track on a patch of grassy land, admittedly sodden with rain. To my amazement, the Ssangyong was unable to climb it in two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive or even low-range four-wheel drive.
Taking a modest run-up also failed to provide the momentum to crest this modest bank and hit the road. True, the mud had taken on the texture of a Nigella chocolate cake topping, but I thought low-range would be enough.
The cause of this muddy immobility was almost certainly the tyres. One thing I've learned over years of occasional serious off-roading is that without the right rubber, your electro-mechanical hardware will be struggling.
The tyres on this Rexton are Nexen N Priz RH7, and I assumed that they'd be summer tyres given this muddy nonperformance. But an inspection of the tyrewall revealed an embossed 'M+S', which means that they are actually mud and snow tyres – and that they ought to have done a bit of gripping.
Further off-roading is required to discover whether this mud was as slippery as wet floor polish and therefore less representative of the friction coefficient of most basic tracks, but it'll be hard not to be tentative about departing metalled roads in case an embarrassing moment of stranding ensues.
While on the muddy theme – and this is the last point linked to the earthy gloop – it's pleasing to see that the Ssangyong's engine bay stays clean despite the 20in wheels occasionally hitting some big puddles to splashingly spectacular effect.
While there, I checked the Rexton's oil and found it slightly overfilled, according to the dipstick. Maybe that's affecting its fuel consumption, extra oil making it harder for the crank to pump pistons. Still, some better news on the economy score, which is that the trip computer appears to be pessimistic.
Up to 2151 miles, the Rexton has been achieving 31.6mpg, which is slightly better than the 29.7mpg registered last time with the computer alone.
You're not going to win an economy marathon with figures like these, but the Rexton has yet to complete a really long trip, which usually yields better numbers. And it is, of course, an undeniably big and weighty beast.
It is also a likeable beast, further exposure doing nothing to diminish the pleasure of travelling in it. It's mostly effortless, mostly quiet and mostly smooth, although it's a little less smooth if you're riding a B-road, where bumps sometimes discombobulate the relationship between suspension, chassis and body.
The steering is decently accurate and largely untroubled by these forces, reinforcing a relaxed demeanour that's pleasing to live with despite such flaws.

Rexton is proving an accommodating SUV in more ways than one - 11th April 2018
The Rexton's seat heaters did much to blunt the chill of the recent Beast from the East.
The luxury of this suffusing warmth, and the complementary heated steering wheel, also compensated (slightly) for the discovery that it's all too easy to see the trip computer's estimation of your fuel consumption dropping below 30mpg.
I'd hoped that the running-in period – the Rexton arrived with just under 700 miles on the clock – might improve the 29.5mpg originally achieved. The Rexton has now done almost 2000 miles, and there has been a slight gain to 29.7mpg since, but I'm less optimistic now.
Still, these figures are less surprising when you consider the sizeable frontage the Rexton presents to the wind and the fact that it weighs more than 2100kg. And you can keep an eye on the trip computer, and the econometer, from a seat of some comfort, despite its surprising lack of a lumbar adjuster.
The Rexton is not an especially rapid machine (62mph arrives in a relatively leisurely 11.9sec) but that suits its demeanour, even if the aura of comfort can be rudely interrupted by the effects of a broken road surface. The suspension and separate chassis are sometimes jarring in their struggle to cope, and if the pothole is big and you're aware of it, you'll be circumnavigating the depression in question.
The Rexton hasn't done any towing yet, but it has already been used to cart two lawnmowers simultaneously – with the car's rear seats still in place – and it also helped with the clear-out of a flat. Our Ultimate version comes with a two-section false floor that eliminates the step between the underfloor and the folded backrests, but you can significantly expand the space by removing the sections, and tipping the entire folded rear seat forwards again.
This also has the advantage of providing a low bulkhead behind the front seats – highly desirable, noted the lawnmower repairman, when you are carrying large, bladed tools that might move during an emergency stop, or worse.
Besides mowers and mattresses, the Rexton has also carried friends, all of them impressed with both the finish of its interior and its space. None has yet commented on the sometimes jumpy ride, but perhaps they're being polite. Their observations are usually easy to hear, because the Rexton's drivetrain is pretty quiet. Its seven gears allow the diesel to spend most of its time spinning beneath 3000rpm, and to achieve a restfully subdued cruise on the motorway. Deploying kickdown briefly changes all that, the engine roaring with effort, but these moments are brief, unless you're in a real hurry.
The hurried will also discover that the Rexton can be annoyingly slow off the mark when you're pulling out of a junction, prompting a deeper sinking of the throttle that can then provoke a gravelly scrabble from the inside rear wheel. So it's not always restful, and certainly not speedy.
You won't be pushing it to the limit on back roads, either, although some experimentation on a gravel road induced an amusing little drift, curtailed by the stability control system. The Rexton runs in rear-wheel drive, incidentally, unless you select all-wheel drive or low range. So there's scope for more serious offroad work.
For the moment, though, the Ssangyong is scoring points for its usefulness, cabin ambience and cruise-along character.
Love it:
ELEVATED VANTAGE POINTThe cabin layout is almost entirely an ergonomic delight. Only the ease with which the hazard lights button can be knocked on detracts.

Welcoming the Rexton to our fleet – 28th March 2018
Whatever you think of Ssangyong, there's no denying that the company's new Rexton four-wheel drive is a vehicle of intriguing contrasts.
It has a finely appointed interior crammed with modern electrical tech, yet there's an old-school rotary knob allowing you to switch between rear-wheel drive, four-wheel drive and low range. It has a rather 20th-century separate chassis, above which sits a modishly sumptuous quilted leather interior.
So this is your big, tough SUV in the form that most of these beasts used to come in, underpinned with box-section steel reinforcements that would have been familiar to Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
South Korean Ssangyong is now well into a recovery drive under the apparently benevolent wing of Mahindra & Mahindra, racing to catch up with competitors after bankruptcy protection and takeover. It's also aiming to find itself a viable niche in a crowded automotive world. Rather than battle the major SUV makers head-on, the Rexton sits in an increasingly lonely slot occupied by rugged 4x4s with a separate chassis and the ability to tow 3.5 tonnes in sometimes arduous conditions.
Unless you're happy to drive a crew-cab pick-up truck – indeed, the Rexton shares its foundations with just such a vehicle, in the shape of the new Musso – your only similarly constructed alternatives are the ageing Mitsubishi Shogun, the utility Jeep Wrangler, Toyota's Land Cruiser or the Mercedes G-Class.
But as Ssangyong points out, there's a market for a tough SUV that can play the mule, and the firm has ambitions to take a slice of it, aided by the fact that this much-improved Rexton provides equipment and furnishings that are entirely contemporary. So, all versions have autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition, as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a rear-view camera, auto headlights and wipers and at least eight airbags, for a price that starts at £27,995.
That gets you the EX trim; there's also an ELX version, but we have greedily gone for the Ultimate, in no small part because it provides one of the Rexton's biggest visual surprises. Which is a part-quilted, nappa leather interior redolent of a Bentley's. Of course, close inspection soon shows why a Bentley cabin costs so much more – not because the Rexton's is poorly finished, but because Bentley goes much further with detail like knurled metal gearlever knobs. Sit aboard the Rexton, though, and you'll be enjoying a decently premium experience, if not a super-luxury one.
And the Ultimate certainly comes laden with kit. The front seats are ventilated as well as heated, the rear seats and steering wheel are heated, there's an around-view monitor, a power tailgate, 20in alloys (in gangsta chrome finish), a removable false floor, a sizeable 9.2in infotainment screen, a driver's knee airbag and, unusually, a 220V power supply – just the job for charging laptops and power tools.
The Rexton's engine is the same regardless of trim, its 2.2-litre turbodiesel mustering 179bhp and a more promising 310lb ft of tugging power between 1600 and 2600rpm. The Rexton Ultimate comes with automatic transmission as standard, a seven-speed Mercedes E-Tronic gearbox (Ssangyong has a long association with Daimler). The less expensive versions are available with a six-speed manual.
The Ultimate also comes as a five-seater, but seven-seat Rextons are also available. If the seven-seat option implies plenty of space, well, there is – the five-seater providing 820 litres seats-up, or 1977 litres seats down. That can't be far off the capacity of many a garden shed.
Such usefulness I plan to put to good use, along with the optional tow-hook, by using the Rexton to transport assorted non-running classic cars about and, in the case of a dismantled 1968 Alfa Romeo GTV currently undergoing a body restoration, a load of parts too. With that 3.5-tonne towing capacity, it should be a breeze.
And so far, so is living with the Rexton. When you climb into its cabin, your resultant height reminds you that all these new crossovers and SUVs do not ride as revealingly high. New vistas are opened up on familiar journeys because you can see over hedges, and often a lot further up the road too. You ride at the same regal height as you do in a Range Rover, and it's very pleasant. That same height rather underlines the Rexton's more limited on-road dynamic potential, although the steering is quick enough and furnished with unusually good feel, the assistance being hydraulic rather than electric. So it's a bit more wieldy than separate-chassis SUVs used to be, but unsurprisingly well adrift of the athletic scope of a BMW X5.
It's not that kind of car, of course. But it presents well, if you can get past the rather weird sculpture of the front wings – and the fit, finish and robustness of our car are good. No rattles have been detected and, apart from a footling difference in panel gap between one side of the tailgate and the other, it's a well-finished vehicle (car isn't quite the word for this beast) both inside and out.
The next six months will tell us whether the Rexton's now quite rare collection of trade-offs works, whether its liveable with daily and how good a tow it can muster. And we'll be enjoying the voyage aboard a pleasingly upholstered cabin.

Second Opinion
This looks interesting as a cut-price Discovery. It is equipped for off-roading, has loads of space and comes with plenty of toys. Given the five-year warranty and uncertainty around residuals, buyers might be temped to get a cheaper one-year-old version with four years of guarantee left.

EDITOR'S NOTE | Garage Music News IRL
GMN's first issue "Progress." Issue Two is coming from the printer's today. It's called "Access."
Hey all!
As the school year starts and we fall into our groove here at GMN, I've been thinking a lot about the community that music creates, specifically how open these communities are. As the Twin Cities youth scene, are we open to those whose voices might not be heard otherwise? How are we making music "accessible"? These are the questions I've been asking myself.
Some of us can't attend shows for artists we love because they have age restrictions. Some of us are marginalized as minority voices in music journalism. All of us have a place at GMN and THE GARAGE, because both are committed to creating safe and accessible spaces for our music community.
A lot of our recent work have centered around this theme and the idea of "Access." With pieces on Warped Tour, free concerts, and artists like the Bombshells and MC Lars, our second physical issue grapples with music that invites you in on the fun. Whether you are young or old, new to the scene or a veteran, or just plain interested in our writing here at GMN, take a look at our second issue "Access."
Pick up physical copies of GMN issues at THE GARAGE's cafe for one dollar, or contact us here for more information.
Enjoy Rocktober!

Ok, so that's another birthday sidestepped with ungraceful ease.
Actually, I'm ok with my birthday, with my age, with my situation, as it is all of my making. If I want change, I can find change. If I don't, I can't complain. And I generally don't, as time spent complaining could be time spent changing, and which is the better idea, right? But yeah, another year passed in a day, which is always a little strange, and mocks the whole idea of time just a little.
Still reading the Lehane book, although I don't think I've picked it up since I last posted. This is less to do with that book and more to do with others, as I've been reading another book by Don Miguel Ruiz and his son Jose, being "The Fifth Agreement", and now another by Miguel called "The Voice of Knowledge". I'm also occasionally dipping in to a book by Jonathan Ross, which was a birthday present.
New shirts arrived this morning, ones I think I'm going to wear for work, although they could be out-n-about types. We shall see. I have some other retail therapy items due any day, too, being other shirts, shoes, trousers. Standard fair. But not things I've bought a lot of these last few years, partly, I think, with half an eye on the idea of losing some weight, so large clothes would be a waste of money; but this doesn't appear to be happening in the short term, and I don't need to feel uncomfortable.
Why don't I meditate more? It's always in my mind, and I often repeat a mantra during the day in key moments, but rarely seem to commit to the meditation moment. And yet I have such lovely beads...
3words is done again, and still feels like an interesting idea, if not such a great story this month. Maybe I should finally rewrite one of them? Heh. I want to spend some time on my next novel notes, though, so will have a crack at that for an hour or so, and again later. As close as I keep thinking I get to feeling how it should "be", something keeps drifting and pulling me somewhere else, somewhere different, and as yet I can't quite decide... And so haven't quite begun. But it IS coming. Honest.
Day 2 of 16 on Monday in the new/trial job. That should be interesting, if a little stressful. So long as I can help the manager ease her troubles a little it will be work worth doing. And who knows about the future? In this or anything, of course.
Anyhoo, that's enough from me for now.

CONTENTS CONCRETE REPAIR CORROSION CONTROL GROUTS & ANCHORS PROTECTIVE COATINGS INDUSTRIAL FLOORING SURFACE TREATMENTS JOINT SEALANTS CONCRETE JOINTING JOINT FILLERS WATERPROOFING WATERSTOPS ROOFING TIMBER FLOORING ALPHABETICAL INDEX An approved closed cell polyethylene backer rod or bond breaker tape must be installed into the joint before sealant application. When placing the backer rod allow for a 5 mm set down of the sealant from the pavement surface. Priming Priming is not normally required provided the joint faces are clean and free from any trace of laitance and surface contamination. Primer 10 is recommended on concrete and masonry surfaces to achieve the best possible adhesion. A primer must be used if the sealant is to be submersed for long periods, such as joints in a flood crossing or where fuel or chemical spillage may occur. Consult your local Parchem sales office for advice on priming. Primer 13 must be used in applications where Roadseal is to be subjected to permanent water immersion. Application Roadseal is applied from 600 ml sausages or bulk containers into the joints using a suitable sealant gun. On larger projects, an air assisted gun and pump may be used allowing faster application. Within 10 minutes after application, the sealant must be tooled in order to improve contact with the joint faces, and to lower the sealant surface to a level about 5 mm below the pavement surface. Tooling is essential to force the sealant to make good contact with the joint faces and achieve good adhesion. Equipment Complete high volume application units include an air powered pump, follower plate, hose, gun, and applicator nozzle. The extrusion pumps are available with various output capacities. The hoses and connections must not allow moisture penetration. Teflon lined hoses are recommended because of their low moisture permeability. It should be noted that the rate of sealant delivery is affected by air pressure, hose length, hose diameter and nozzle diameter. Clean up Equipment may be cleaned of uncured sealant by wiping, or soaking and wiping with Solvent 10. Any sealant allowed to cure becomes very difficult to remove and can only be removed using Solvent 10 in combination with steel wool. Limitations Elastomeric sealants such as Roadseal should not be applied in close proximity to bituminous materials as these may contain components which can migrate into the sealant and result in staining, reduced performance or a loss of adhesion. Joints in asphalt roads should only be sealed with Roadseal SL, an ultra-low modulus version of Roadseal designed for sealing sawn joints in asphalt pavements and abutment joints between concrete and asphalt. Where asphalt is to be applied over the concrete pavement containing the Roadseal, a non-adhesive bond breaker tape must be applied over the sealant surface to prevent direct contact with the asphalt and to prevent the asphalt bonding to the sealant surface. Estimating Packaging Roadseal: 600 ml sausage (PC: 610402) 20 litre drum (PC: 610401) 200 litre drum (PC: 610405) Primer 10: 250 ml tin Primer 13: 250 ml pack (two-part epoxy) Solvent 10: 4 and 20 litre drums Coverage Each 20 litre drum will seal approximately 200 metres of joint with a 10 mm wide by 10 mm deep sealant bead. Storage Storage life of 18 months in original containers when kept in cool, dry conditions.

You can bet on that! Explain the term if necessary. Instead of ignoring, make some time to prepare it. Seamless transitions While delivering the informative speech, the body should harmonize the main points.
For an instance, you are speaking on European culture. If they knew, we thought, surely those leaders would have moved heaven and earth to intervene.
How to help refugees. You can show it, saying you need to research more on the topic to pursue your aim. However, this type of speaking engagement is intended to make the audience feel good, and as such, the approach, language and delivery can have a more personal feel than a typical business-style presentation.
Try completing your speech in the precise time. They no longer felt pain, hunger, thirst. What will the legacy of this vanishing century be? The three trials of Oscar Wilde. And, nevertheless, his image in Jewish history -- I must say it -- his image in Jewish history is flawed.
For us to be ignored by God was a harsher punishment than to be a victim of His anger. The best muscle cars. For an instance, you spend most of your time in cooking. Persuasive speech is convincing while informative speech gives information about the particular topic.
It will be effective if you point out the mistakes and work to fix that. So much violence, so much indifference. The history of the Titanic movie. How to save money in college.
It should take the attention of audiences and let them understand what you are talking about. You might not know this while delivering the speech. Anger can at times be creative.
See this page for a full list of Environmental Informative Speech Topics. You may find the research on Social media Myth more interesting.
Focus on the topic national animal, do not divert your speech explaining more on the country. Better think about it earlier than you give the speech. In this case, below are some interesting topics for informative speech for you: So, try practicing in front of your friend.
Of course, indifference can be tempting -- more than that, seductive. The journey to becoming a nuclear physicist. Any format is made of 2 main parts. The history of high heels. During your time working with us, you had magnanimously trained others to handle their jobs better.
And let us remember the meeting, filled with drama and emotion, between Rabin and Arafat that you, Mr.Feb 02, · Persuasive speech argues or puts across a point to the audience. It is the art of expressing an opinion clearly and logically.
It is the art of expressing an opinion clearly and logically. While presentation is very important when persuading, the magic of a persuasive speech is best experienced only when the topic elicits an interest and.

The special and possibly most memorable day of your son is going to happen in a couple weeks. As a father whose son is getting married, expect to create a grooms father speech.
This is a speech which is usually delivered at the reception part. If you are not sure regarding what to say, here is a list of tips you can certainly remember and follow.
The answer is simple but frustratingly inconclusive: 'It depends.' These are the 'how to' or 'show and teach' speeches of which there are squillions of possibilities. You could waste hours considering this demonstrative speech topic against that one but you don't have to.
Step through the guidelines below and make an informed decision. Use this list of good informative speech topics to fire your imagination.
Remember - these are ideas for informative speeches, so you just want to INFORM your audience, not persuade them to take an action or try to convince them that something is "good" or "bad". You are simply letting them know the facts.
Coming up with the right informative speech topics can be one of the most difficult parts of writing an informative speech. Before you come up with a strong topic, though, it is important to understand the basic premise of an informative speech.Download

5 ml Spearmint (ER exclusive):
Also a vitality oil, spearmint supports your metabolism: add a couple drops to your water, tea or Ningxia. Wonderful for the digestive system, this is a family favorite in our house. It is not as hot to the skin as peppermint so topically you can use it for the kiddos. This is a MUST have for pregnant mamas experiencing some of those morning (or all day) tummy woes! Rub a few drops over your liver before you get out of bed in the morning and thank me later, ok! And it's just a yummy oil to diffuse with any of your citrus oils for some added minty freshness.
Ravintsara 5 ml (ER exclusive):
Apply to your chest to breathe easier; this is a must have as we prepare for the fall. Like to make your own chest rubs?

It helps to clear brain fog and strengthen your motivation. Who is ready to crush some goals with this oil?!
Wintergreen (15 ml):
Good for all things MUSCLE related, use before or after your workouts! Aromatically, Wintergreen stimulates and increases awareness on all levels of the sensory system so this is a good one to diffuse if you have never tried it. It is also a Raindrop oil- and you know Raindrop oils do ALL the things…. so we love to keep this on hand.
Aroma Siez (15 ml):
Gah!! Have you all tried this oil? Well for those Raindroppers out there, you have. Your muscles just melt with this oil. This blend of Basil, Marjoram, Lavender, Peppermint, and Cypress is a travel favorite of mine. Perfect for long car rides or flights, so if you have any end of summer travel, be sure to pack this one with you! Your legs will thank you.
Bamboo Oil Bar: Ok how cute is that little oil display?! I mean…if there is anything an oiler likes it is storage for our oils. I think I am going to put this little one in my office. Where are you going to put yours?
Acceptance: (5ml) Ok, who is excited about this oil? This is one I do not use enough and this promo is gonna get me using it more often. Acceptance stimulates the mind, compelling us to open and accept new things, people, or relationships in life, allowing one to reach a higher potential. It also helps us overcome procrastination and denial….like what?!!! Did you guys read that?!! Procrastination, I'm coming for you! (Going to order a gallon!)
Let me know what you're most excited about and where you're going to put that Bamboo Oil Bar!

What is Help 5?
YL looked at the most successful people in the company, and while they might all have different stories, techniques, and perspectives… there was a common thread.
+They are all enrolling new members and getting people on Essential Rewards. At least 5 per month!
So now it's a challenge.
– Help 5 people to enroll with a PSK and/or start Essential Rewards and earn a point for each one!
Can you imagine if you, each of your legs, each of their legs, and on & on were 'helping 5′ each month?
What would it look like if we all did it AND duplicated it among our teams? Pretty stinkin' awesome, that's the answer.
The deets:
– You enroll a new member with a Premium Starter Kit : earn 1 point
– A member you've personally enrolled places their first ever Essential Rewards order : earn 1 point
– Earn 5 points and you've got yourself an exclusive gift!
(Yep. On top of your commissions, on top of a growing team, on top of the satisfaction of helping people change their lives!)
Who is going to Help 5 this month??
It all starts with a decision and a belief in yourself that you can do this.
HELP 5: "When you qualify, we'll send you a 5-ml bottle of Roman Chamomile essential oil and five versatile magnetic oil clips. Stick them on your fridge so your oft-used Vitality oils are just within reach, or attach them to a magnetic board to keep your favorite essential oils right where you need them!
Get your teams ready!"
YES that's those cute little magnets AND a Roman Chamomile!!!!!
Help 5 August BONUS!
We're also excited to announce an added bonus to August's Help 5. For the entire month, all members who earn 10 points will receive a 5-ml bottle of Rose!
who's HELPING 10 this month!?!??!!?
Did you know that for EVERY SINGLE PERSON who signs up as a member with Young Living & a PSK, you receive $50? And, then when that member begins ordering on a monthly basis, you will begin earning a commission? We all want that extra Starbucks money right? I'll be sharing a LOT more with you about how to get involved in the business and never have to SELL anything!
Today may or may not be the best day of your life… it's about to get REAL, y'all.
DID SOMEONE SAY SPOUSE ACCOUNTS or DID SOMEONE SAY SPOUSE ACCOUNTS?
So basically: I just found you your next member and quite possibly your next builder and/or your next leg.
Who is it you ask? YOUR SPOUSE
"I thought we could not enroll our spouse!? That it was just one account per household?"
Login to your Virtual Office and check out the new policy and procedures that starts TODAY, August 1st! Starting today you can enroll your spouse!
Yep. You read that right.
How does this impact your biz?
Two ER orders anyone? Yes please!
More ER points? Yes please!
Quadruple the promos? Yes, please!
A husband or wife who lovingly shares already and who now can have his own account and get in on this with you? Yes, please!
Need a place to strategically place your enrollments? Why not place under your spouse? yes, please! Uhhh hi ….two paychecks.
Need to start a new leg to hit your next rank? Hmm… he/she lives with you!
You will earn unilevel commissions and fast start bonuses on this account just like you would any other enrollment.
Go sign up your honey!
Here's a quick glimspe of the incredible earning potential we have with Young Living. Take a look at the Income Disclosure Statement
Thank you for joining us on this amazing journey of Wellness, Abundance and Purpose!
You are loved,

By consolidating and switching consumers can save £571 a year on debts
www.moneynews.co.uk > Debt > By consolidating and switching consumers can save £571 a year on debts
By consolidating and switching consumers can save £571 a year on debts
Mon 20th Dec 2004
Options open to consumers looking to save money in the new year include credit cards offering a zero per cent balance transfer and taking out a personal loan with an interest rate of only 5.8 per cent.
For consumers with debts on credit or store cards, in particular those who often pay no more than the minimum repayment due, an interest-free balance transfer is an attractive way of saving money on interest repayments.
Moneyuspermarket.com points consumers to some of the 30 credit cards offering zero per cent interest on balance transfers, particularly the Halifax One, HSBC Gold Visa, Virgin MasterCard, Mint mc2 MasterCard and the Barclaycard Platinum Visa.
"The key benefit of the zero per cent deal is that all of the monthly repayment goes towards clearing the balance outstanding and therefore the debt can be cleared much quicker. With so many good deals on the market, it's madness not to switch," said Richard Mason, director, moneysupermarket.com.
However Which? is warning consumers to tread carefully with interest free balance transfers, with several cards charging a fee for the service and any money paid in can often be used to pay off the lowest interest debt.
In effect this means any money paid in by consumers will go towards paying off their interest-free debt, leaving any other borrowing untouched and building up interest.
Not all card providers do this and Nationwide, HSBC, Liverpool and Victoria, and Saga all put any money paid in towards paying off the most expensive debt.
Another moneysaving option moneysupermarket.com is urging consumers to consider in the new year is debt consolidation.
"Rather than panic or ignore card and bank statements as they hit the doormat in the new year, consumers should spend a few moments assessing what they are paying out, at what cost and to whom," said moneysupermarket.com's Mr Mason.
"Debt consolidation is one option to help consumers take control and better-manage all of their debts under one umbrella, whilst repaying a lower, fixed rate sum," he added.
For those seeking to take out a personal loan, moneysupermarket.com points to the AA personal loan (5.8 per cent), the Direct Line loan (5.9 per cent), the Alliance & Leicester personal loan (5.9 per cent), the smile loan (6.0 per cent) and the Sainsbury's Bank loan at 6.1 per cent.
More generally consumers looking to improve their finances in 2005 are advised to: research their options before taking out any product, take out the shortest term loan they can afford to pay off, to try and make sure that they always pay off more than the minimum amount on their credit card, and not to spend excessively on existing cards after their balance has been transferred or their debt consolidated.
