Grumman F6F-3/5 Hellcat (Aircam Aviation 19)
By Richard M. Hill
Publisher: Osprey 1971 51 Pages
On 30th June 1941, the Navy had contracted with Grumman for two experimental models of a carrier-based fighter to be designated the XF6F-1. However, design changes, including several as a direct result of conferences with combat-experienced Navy pilots, resulted in the XF6F-1 becoming little more than a "paper aircraft" which was all but discarded before it got off the ground. The first prototype, flown on 26th June 1942 with the R-2600-8 engine, was later modified to the one-of-a-kind F6F-4 configuration. The second prototype, with the more powerful R-2800-10 engine, was completed as the XF6F-3. The first production model F6F-3 was completed on 4th October 1942, and made its first flight in November. On 16th January 1943, VF-9 became the first operational squadron to receive the new Hellcat. The Navy pilots now had a carrier-based fighter "tailor made" to their own requirements, and designed to combat a specific enemy on its own terms. The efficacy of the Hellcat's design is evident from its extremely successful combat record and the fact that only two major versions (the F6F-3 and F6F-5) were produced.
In external details, late model F6F-3s differed very little from the early F6F-5s; the only visible changes were the redesigned windshield, a moveable trim tab on the rieht aileron, and the camouflage.

Developers & HOAs
Developers and homeowner associations have a unique opportunity to address stormwater and water quality during the development of new neighborhoods and subdivisions.
Any modern development project is likely subject to stormwater regulations, but when you decide to address these requirements can make a big difference in your project's success. Addressing stormwater in the earliest stages of a project ensures that there will be enough space and money to manage runoff at your site. This saves you and your clients time, money, and inconvenience down the road. Consider incorporating BMPs like rain gardens, permeable pavement, and other native landscaping when constructing your development. You can also take care to avoid development in environmentally sensitive areas, utilize "cluster" or "conservation development," and leave trees untouched where possible.
Once construction is complete, HOAs can design their CC&R (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions) to include requirements that protect water quality. For example, you may limit the conditions under which mature trees can be removed from a property, since trees prevent erosion and absorb significant amounts of stormwater. You may also limit the plants allowable for landscaping to native species, or limit the application of fertilizer on turf lawns.
Adding such practices or requirements to your development does not need to be a barrier to success. Instead, incorporating stormwater BMPs and marketing your development as "green" may attract new, environmentally conscious buyers. These BMPs help create desirable, healthy communities, and prevent future damage to your project from stormwater-related flooding and erosion — a win-win for residents and developers alike.

LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. There are multiple rating systems and levels of certification that can accommodate the goals of any project. One of the rating systems is for 'new development,' which applies to new land development projects or redevelopment projects containing residential uses, nonresidential uses, or a mix.
U.S. Green Building Council administers the LEED program, and is made up of tens of thousands of member organizations, students and community volunteers. There are 76 regional chapters. The Council advocates for green development and provides educational seminars and conferences.

Sfugato is the omelet from the villages of Crete - Greece
- Yield
- 4 people
- 6 eggs
- 1 kilo potatoes
- 1 big onion
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 250 ml olive oil
- A few drops of beer
- Salt, pepper
- Dried whole oregano
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into pieces, the size of your thumb. Fry them in the olive oil in medium high heat (if your stove scales up to 6, put it on 4). Do NOT over fry them and make them crispy. The potatoes must boil slowly. We need them to be oily. In order to achieve it, stir occasionally, and don't worry if they break into smaller pieces (it's good actually). Cut the zucchinis in approximately 1cm and the onion ½ cm wide rings and add them into the pan with the potatoes about ten minutes after the potatoes start frying. They will all be ready at the same time. When they do get soft, remove them from the oil and put them all in a new pan. Make sure they are oily. The remaining oil you can keep and use again in some other frying. Put your stove on 5, put the salt and pepper and rub the oregano in. Break the eggs with a fork, not in a blender, add a little salt and pepper and a sip of beer. Do not break them entirely. Make sure to leave some white and red matter here and there in the mix. Pour the mix in the pan with the potatoes. Take a plastic or wooden scoop and scramble them so that the potatoes soak in the eggs. Build everything levelly in the pan. Bake for three minutes. Use a flat plate to turn the omelet over. Bake for three more minutes. Ready. Cut in four and serve while hot. Mayo, ketchup or olives paste match great. Kali orexi! (bon appetit in Greek)

Welcome back to Go/No-Go, Tosche Station's regular feature where we offer our spoiler-free opinion as to whether or not you should spend your hard-earned money on a book, film, or other entertainment. Today on the launch pad: Tarkin by James Luceno. How does the second book in the new canon hold up as it takes readers to the other side of the war? To mission control for the verdict!
TELMU Bria: Tarkin is a book that puts James Luceno in the difficult position of having to replicate the magic of what he did with Darth Plagueis: explain the bad guy and make sense of everything. It's a very well written book that may not appeal to everyone. Luceno is a master of characters who gives Tarkin depth and subtly answers the questions that many fans likely had about how much he knew about Vader. What will definitely thrill many Expanded Universe fans is how he subtly works previous canon into shadow canon status as he references events from two of his previous novels. At the end of the day, Tarkin was definitely to my taste despite my strong dislike of the titular character and gets a GO from me.
CAPCOM Shoshana: Tarkin isn't a character I've ever particularly cared for so I wasn't especially excited to read a book all about him, but despite my initial lack of interest I am very glad I did not skip this book. It not only delves into Tarkin's character and history and his relationships with Vader and the Emperor but also helps to paint a picture of the Empire and the Dark Times as a whole. Luceno includes a lot of background detail about the state of the galaxy that I think will really help to set the stage for future stories. It was a bit of a slow read for me, needing some momentum to finish, but I certainly found it to be a rewarding one and have also found a new appreciation for Tarkin the character as well. I give this a GO.
Flight Director's Ruling: Tarkin is a GO for launch!

Procrastination is essentially self-sabotaging behavior that many South Asians of all ages choose when faced with a decision, task or responsibility. Procrastinators create their own obstacles, choose to hamper their performance and essentially try to avoid success. Procrastination is not an issue of time management or poor planning. Procrastinators may underestimate how long something takes to complete but changing procrastinating behaviors is not as simple as learning how to use a day planner. Procrastination is a deep rooted learned behavior that can turn into a lifestyle with very negative consequences practically as well as emotionally.
Here are the most common reasons for why South Asians procrastinate:
1. Dysregulation. People who procrastinate regularly generally have poor self-regulation. This means for any tasks, decisions or activities that require them to know when to stop or know their boundaries, procrastinators tend to go overboard. For example, research has shown a strong link between people who procrastinate and the amount of alcohol they consume. Specifically, if procrastinators are asked to identify how much they want to drink that night, they tend to drink more than that, showing that they are not able to stop themselves. Distraction, which is essentially what procrastination is, acts as a way to regulate emotions such as anxiety and fear of failure which are common emotions for those who procrastinate.
2. Avoidant coping strategies. Going hand-in-hand with poor self-regulation is the fact that procrastinators tend to avoid more than approach, which leads to disengagement. People who tend to put things off regularly have difficulty addressing problems, questions, responsibilities and emotions head on. Their first line of defense is to turn away, avoid and remove themselves from the situation so they no longer have to engage.
3. Strict, critical parenting. Children who grow up in families that have strict rules and where the parents are critical and controlling never learn how to self-regulate. Because their parents are so involved and expect a certain type of behavior to satisfy them, the children never learn what their own intentions, preferences and beliefs are. They simply act to satisfy their parents. By not internalizing how to express themselves or act on their choices, they are learn from their mistakes and the guidance of their parents on how to regulate themselves. For example, children with controlling parents will complete their homework that night to make their parents happy not because they understand the reasons for meeting deadlines. Thus when their parents are not around to manage them, such as in college, procrastinators are not able to complete tasks efficiently since they never internalized their working style. Procrastination can also be a form of rebellion against strict parenting.
Procrastination is a learned behavior; people are not born procrastinators. Whether they put off tasks because they are addicted to the thrill of the last minute rush, they're afraid of failure or they are indecisive, procrastination has serious consequences. People who put things off experience higher levels of stress and anxiety. This can be damaging to numerous body systems such as cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and neurological systems. In addition, chronic stress and anxiety can increase bouts of insomnia and seriously lower immunity. Chronic stress is a common cause of recurrent sicknesses. In addition, procrastination stresses relationships, with parents becoming overly anxious about the performance of their child or a classmate becoming resentful that they have to pick up someone else's slack.
Changing these learned behaviors takes time and energy but procrastination can be overcome with hard work, determination, and sometimes the help of a professional who can help identify the source of your procrastination.
Why do you think people procrastinate?

A Dick Randall production starring porn star Ajita Wilson who went under the knife for a sex change. She's a man baby. Also known on its re-release video as Queen of Sex, Black Deep Throat was available in British rental stores in 1979 completely uncut but it wasn't necessarily a hardcore film. Queen of Sex passed with an '18' certificate with 4 minutes and 5 seconds cut from the video. There are two completely different video covers for the film.
Ajita Wilson appeared in several other films, as well as Jess Franco films. Born in Brooklyn, New York as George Wilson and unfortunately passed away in 1987 due to cerebral hemorrhage after an automobile accident. If you look closely, you can actually tell she was a man by her hands but she/he was described as 'enchanting' and 'beautiful' in interviews after the car accident.
Come Play With Me 1977-
The acting may be horrible and the film overall may be quite poor but when you have beautiful naked girls on screen, I think you can exempt it from the "Worst Films of All Time" lists.
It's actually a famous British sex comedy starring Mary Millington who happens to be a porn icon. It passed with cuts for an X-Rating by the BBFC in 1977. There was actually a hardcore version filmed and they had planned on releasing that version but there have been absolutely zero traces of such version.
The story focus on a health resort involving the employees and clients enjoying pre-marital sex. You know how that goes. That story has been told just about as many times as the typical plumber fixing your toilet and cable guy fixing your viewing pleasures.
To my surprise, this shit was a box office smash in the UK. Huh, go figure.
Directed by George Harrison Marks who is responsible for several other sexploitation hits; The 9 Ages of Nakedness, Maidens in Uniforms, Spanking Academy of Dr. Blunt, The Spanking Game, Naughty Schoolgirls Revenge, and French Maids Flogging. Marks was also engaged in a long term relationship with Pamela Green who is known for Peeping Tom.
Celestine 1974-
French sex comedy brought to you by my favorite 'husband/wife team' in the business, Jess Franco and Lina Romay. RIP! It passed with an X-Rating with cuts by the BBFC. The Go Video is uncut.
Lina Romay is the lead, Celestine. Set in 1700s, France. She begins work at a mansion in the Count de la Braquette to read for an old geezer before he falls asleep every night. She soon begins having sex withjust about everyone she sets her eyes on, even a virgin. At one point, almost ten people show up at her room for sex. They keep knocking on her door one by one and she has to keep hiding whichever one she is currently sexing. I thought it was adorable and Lina Romay herself is adorable. I was saddened by the news of her passing in 2012.
Whitehouse Video Show 1982-
Virtually impossible to find online. I couldn't find any information about this rare flick whatsoever. I even asked my boys in the VHS group about it and none of them had heard about it. Poopsicles. This ladies and gentlemen is my most wanted VHS. NUMBER ONE on my list. If you are reading and you have a copy or details on how to find it, please contact me.
I do not know much about this rare piece of shit. All I know is that it features a lady masturbating to her pet python eating a rat. Sounds sexy, no? Why would I want to watch something like this? Because it's FUCKED up! Because, why not? Either or. It sounds like a jaw-dropping good time. With my luck, I probably wont find a copy until my VCR gives out. There probably are no copies.
Directed by Jean Ricard. Starring Zeta Whitehouse and only lasting 56 minutes and 50 seconds long, it's apparently graphic with a lot of close-ups. Plus. it has the title WHITEHOUSE. I wonder if Mary Whitehouse was aware of this title. Probably not, with all of the depraved films she was busy banning in the early 80s.

Barry M: 317 Blue Moon
Barry M: 352 Pink Sapphire
So this look is super quick and simple to create! I don't even really need to tell you how to do it to be honest but I thought some of you my be interested to know what I used!
001. Apply a layer of the blue moon nail polish. This colour is really gorgeous but admittedly I have to apply about three layers until the colour was pigmented enough.
002. I absolutely love this pink sapphire sparkle nail polish and had to grab it for winter.It's so festive with it's deep pink undertones and mix of round and rectangular flecks of glitter, everyone should have at least one glitter nail polish for this winter season! So once the blue moon had dried, I applied two layers of this over the top once and the great thing about a clear nail polish with glitter in is that you don't need to apply a top coat as this already acts as one and holds it all into place.
So there you have it! Happy manicuring :)

|214 North Acland Street
|Architectural Style:
|American Foursquare
|Year Built:
|c. 1915
|Original Owner:
This house stands on the land once occupied by the Kenyon Military Academy, a boys' military prep school. The school terminated its program in 1906 after a fire resulted in the deaths of six students, and the land was sold for residential purposes beginning around 1915.
This house is a beautiful example of American Foursquare architecture, which typically has a square building footprint that can be divided into four equal parts. The American Foursquare style usually sports a large dormer window projecting from all sides of the roof except for the rear, which this house has. This residential style was highly popular in the United States with the rising middle class beginning around 1905 and lasting through the First World War. The porch roof is supported by four smooth, rounded columns topped with Roman ionic capitals, giving the house a slight Classical flavor. A central bay window projects from the second floor of the house, directly beneath the front dormer window and resting on top of the porch roof. Directly below this 2nd-story bay window is an identical inverted bay, creating a deeply recessed entrance. This is somewhat unusual for American Foursquare architecture, and it adds a unique character to this house.


text: I have just renewed my driving licence (10 year limit hit), so a friendly reminder to everyone to check their licences for its expiry date. Licences are only valid for 10 years from their date of initial issue (not the date passed - I've been driving over 20 years in different countries) If you don't know your expiry date, look at your card licence, its section 4b. If you have changed addresses/name etc, this does not renew your licence. Section 4a shows the date that specific card was issued, if for example, you changed address/name etc. At moment, its a £1000 DVLA fine if your licence expires, but even more importantly, if you are stopped by the police, you will have your vehicle taken off you (Section 165 Road Traffic Act 1988) you will pay towage, storage and release fees, plus a £200 fine for having no licence and will likely have to attend court (courts tend to not be very lenient against people with expired licences and you could easily be banned as a result). Your insurance would also then become invalid as you are driving without a licence and you could face further fees and charges through that as well. If you happen to have an accident and your licence is expired, it opens a whole new world of pain, especially if someone gets injured as a result of the crash. So, check those licences people. Took me 5 minutes to renew it online and cost £14.

From WILLIAM EDELEN
The Contrary Minister (2002)
When asked "What am I?" I always answer by saying I think of myself as being within the historical stream of Mysticism where there is no violence, no dualism and no absolutes.
No Violence: The vast majority of all the religious violence of the last 2,000 years has come from the "believers" of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam… the people of the "book," the bible. Carl Sagan called the burning of the library in Alexandria by Christians in 391 one of the most obscene atrocities in the history of our species, Homo sapiens. Had there been a world view and philosophy of mysticism there would have been no burning of the library, but a celebration of the wealth of knowledge stored there… nor would there have been the Crusades… the Inquisition… the witch slaughtering… nor would there be a Northern Ireland nightmare… nor would there be a West Bank or Gaza strip killing field… Such violence would be unthinkable and obscene to anyone living within the world view of mysticism.
No Dualism: We must rid ourselves of the dualism that infects so much of our orthodox religious views of the earth and the universe. Dualism constantly separates man and woman from the sacred… nature from man… and spirit from matter. Several years ago the giant Zen Master, D. T. Suzuki, was lecturing at Stanford University. He opened his address by stepping up to the front of the stage, leaning toward the audience, and saying, "Man against God… God against Man… man against nature… nature against man… God against nature… nature against God… a very, very funny religion."
Many still want to apply the word symbol "God" to something "out there" that is separate and distinct from us "down here" on this planet earth. It is always God AND something else… God AND us… God AND the creation… God AND the earth… God AND the creatures… like the word "God" was a symbol for some "it" out there.
In Mysticism is the recognition that the word God is only a symbol for the Oneness of everything. The Mystery we call God is within every cell of our bodies, every leaf, every atom, every molecule within everything that is. The Universe is a totality and an interrelatedness of all things. It is John Muir saying that "everything is hitched to everything else." Everything on this planet came from the evolution of stars. For this cohesive mystery within that totality some use the word symbol God… some the Tao… for the Sioux it was Wakan Tanka.
Today's physics and quantum mechanics confirm that the classifications of organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate are archaic and invalid. (Of course, Eastern spiritual traditions with American Indian traditions have been saying that for centuries.)
James Jeans said it well: "Modern physics has reduced the whole universe to waves, and nothing but waves. All galaxies, stars, planets and human beings are manifestations of waves." There is no dualism. "Everything is One and hitched to everything else."
No Absolutes: The Dean of French Physics, Jean-Henri Poincare, wrote, "There is no absolute space… there is no absolute time…" Einstein latched on to these words to develop his theory of relativity. The only "absolute" in life is that there are "no absolutes." All values are relative to the mind that entertains them," they say in Taoism and Zen. "Truth on this side of the mountain is falsehood on the other side of the mountain," wrote Pascal.
In orthodox Judaism, Christianity and Islam, is the neurotic desire to keep everything in simple black and white… good and bad… truth and falsehood… In Mysticism, as well, as in Taoism, they smile, or laugh, at this childish naivety and simplicity. They tell stories to illustrate. What's good or bad depends on whether you are a man, a frog or a mosquito. To the man, the frog is good because he can eat the frog, but the mosquito is bad because he can eat the man. To the frog, the man is bad because he will eat him, but the mosquito is good because he can eat the mosquito. To the mosquito the man is good because he can eat on the man, but the frog is bad because because the frog will eat him. So what is good or bad depends on whether you are a frog, a man, or a mosquito. All of their stories like this carry profound truths.
The point: What is good or bad depends on whether you are a Democrat or a Republican… a Holy Roller or a Taoist… a Buddhist or a Jew… Hindu or Moslem. What they are saying in these stories is that all values are relative to the mind that entertains them. Nothing is absolute in Mysticism. The symbol for this recognition of complementary and relative opposites is the Tai-Chi disk, the Yin-Yang circle. Everything in the cosmos is composed of there relative and complementary opposites, never frozen or rigid, never absolute, functioning as ONE within the circle.
No absolutes. That giant of American letters, Ralph Waldo Emerson, said it well: "Nothing is secure… except life and the energizing spirit. No love can be bound by oath or covenant to secure it against a higher love… No truth, so sublime, but it may be trivial tomorrow in the light of new thought…"
Mysticism is an attitude of mind, a particular orientation to the world around and within us, an insight into the nature of reality and truth, a recognition of the Oneness of everything that can be experienced directly. It is a spiritual sense of intuition. It is the recognition of the fact that the cucumber cucumbering is your brother… and the red tail hawk is your sister… and we all evolved from the stars together… and everything "is hitched to everything else" in a symbiotic relationship… and the waves that tie it all together… is the cosmic dance of Shiva.

For example, if the potato is baked with the skin on, it would be about 160 calories, while it would be about 145 calories without the skin. However, if you add cheese sauce and bacon, then you will be looking at approximately 452 calories. Look here for more information:

Moonlight Pikaroon Antique Lure
The Moonlight Pikaroon Antique Lure is probably the most synonymous with the Moonlight Bait Company of Paw Paw, Michigan. Although it should be the Floating Bait line, the Pikaroon with its sleek sexy looks and curves, woos most collectors its way. The Pikaroon wasn't originally a Moonlight Bait like the Floater, it was a Silver Creek Lure akin to the Polly-Wog. The standard series line as shown in the gallery below is a series 1000. This wooden, glass eyed beauty measures in at roughly 4 – 4 1/4″ in length.
The lure has it's telltale pointed nose, and its triangular shaped head which is the widest point of the body of the lure. The Pikaroon then tapers backwards towards the aft of the lure to a width that seemingly is just wide enough to hook the rear hook. The Pikaroon Antique Fishing Lure, the model 1000 has only 2T, or trebles to secure its catch. Both being held into the wooden lure via a simple screw eye rigging. The lure is most often found with it pointed upwards glass eye, but during the transition to the Paw Paw Bait Company in 1928 you will be able to locate some painted eye versions.
Pikaroon Minnow
No. 1000
There's only one Pikaroon – it's something more than a mere manufactured product – it's a fish getter. We say so, because every season scores of anglers take their time to write us of the wonderful catches – under all kinds of fishing conditions.
The Pikaroon, like the jointed Pikaroon, has the shape and finish that fool the fish and is a sure getter of bass and other game fish.

Welcome to my website!! We will cover a lot of information about Transportation and some of the different ways to get around in the world today.
Many people prefer to use vehicles to move around their state or cross country. At least for me, I prefer to move around using my RV. I just love the feeling of moving around with my RV and with my family. There is no doubt that moving in an RV it feels like moving around with your own home.
But besides the cars and the RVs, I just love to watch the trains. Thanks to this amazing creation, America is what it is today. Thanks to trains the US started moving more and more products around the US faster and that helped with the economy.
Just to make things even better lets see the 10 fastest train in the world.
Now lets take a look at a different way to move things around and that, I really like to watch and learn about.
The next one will be airplanes. Thanks to this creation back in the day we are now able to move equipment, people, products, etc around the world very easily and fast. The human being was always looking to the sky finding ways to get up there and finding ways to conquer it.
While, I was writing this article, I was looking and my idea was to look for videos on YouTube about all the different ways transportation is in today's day.
Here are the 10 fastest airplanes or aircraft in the world:
Now lets cover or write about trucks!! Or tow trucks like in towtruckservicenearme.info/Trucks are very important when it comes to move things around locally or even nationally. Thanks to their invention after the trains; the trucks are very essential to move any economy and keep companies alive.
In this video, you'll see not the top ten fastest but, one bad ass and fast truck:
The next mode of transportation for this will be limousine! Like the ones I just saw at bestlimoservicetacoma.com/ I know it is super strange to look at this one but it is super comfortable.
Here are the top 10 coolest limos!!

Quim's Cake Bakeshop and Cafe
Quim's Cake Bakeshop and Cafe was established in May 2010. Named after its owner and executive chef, Eliaquim Labang aka Chef Jack (yes, the chef from the '5M worth of cakes' controversy), its signature Chocolate Cake was served in the small neighborhood of Roxas District in Quezon City. In November 2014, the business opened its commercial cafe and baking supplies flagship store in Kamuning.
In June 2015, Quim's Cake moved to a better and bigger location in the heart of Tomas Morato in Quezon City. It's a cozy place for sweet-tooths and foodies, serving not only cakes and pastries, but also all-day breakfast, pasta, sandwiches & burgers, mains and coffee.
The Bestsellers
Last week I was able to try the bestsellers from their menu, and to tell you honestly, there's more to Quim's Cake than just.. cake!
At Quim's Cake, you can order breakfast anytime of the day. So whenever you feel like having breakfast during an afternoon break, I recommend the Pigtasilog. It is Pigar-pigar tapa with eggs, garlic fried rice, and atchara.
Pigar-pigar is a popular beef stir-fry dish in Dagupan City, Pangasinan. "Pigar" means to flip over or to turn over, so the dish got its name from the act of stirring food while cooking. The beef is tossed in white onion to allow the notably sweet flavor to blend through.
Pinoys love sinigang, and we cook at least 3 versions of it in the comfort of our homes. At Quim's Cake, they serve this sinigang dish (with a twist!) — Sashimi Mango Sinigang. Although I'm used to eating Sinigang na Salmon, this dish is still unique on its own. The salmon is served raw (sashimi style), and gets cooked only when the broth is poured into the bowl. Sinigang is traditionally tamarind-based, but this soup dish uses green mango puree. It's actually a first for me, and I love how everything in the plate tastes clean and balanced.
The Roasted Pork Belly in Choco-Bagoong Sauce is another crowd favorite. The crispy pork belly is roasted to perfection, then served with a special mix of chocolate and bagoong sauce. The bagoong, or fermented shrimp/fish paste, is from Chef Jhollow's home province, Pangasinan. I tend to favor dishes on the salty side but Quim's Cake's Pork Belly in Choco-Bagoong Sauce has this sweet and savory goodness that I can't resist! If you're going to try this one, make sure to order an extra serving of rice.
I'm not fond of burgers because I don't eat ketchup and mayo, but just recently when I started making sandwiches at home, I've learned that not all dressings/dips are the same. Some are surprisingly good, like Japanese mayo and dijon mustard.
This Pulled Pork BBQ Burger is jam-packed with intensely-flavored pork strips (with a specially made smoked BBQ sauce), grilled pineapple, onion, tomato, and lettuce. A single order is more than enough to fill your tummy, but I believe that a hungry eater can accommodate two. LOL.
Now this Red Hot Dory Burger with a red bun is stuffed with spicy and crispy dory wrapped in bacon. The dory is tossed in butter and hot sauce (yes, buffalo style), wrapped in crispy bacon, then topped with sriracha mayo. This burger has just the right amount of heat, making each bite more exciting to the palate.
I'm a self-confessed pastaholic and cream sauce is my choice when it comes to sauces. One of the bestsellers at Quim's Cake is this carbonara-style Hondashi Pasta. Topped with bonito flakes, shrimp, nori, and black sesame seeds, the dish bursts with a medley of subtle seafood flavors. It's a simple yet delicious fusion of Italian and Japanese cuisines.
The Heartbreaker Pasta is the perfect choice if you can't decide between red and white sauce. It's actually called 'heartbreaker' because the tomato and cream sauce combo is combined with crab paste (aligue). Eating this dish surely makes my cholesterol skyrocket to high levels, but do I really need to worry about it, when in front of me is a bed of rich and flavorful pasta, waiting to be devoured? And oh, the homemade focaccia bread is there to help me finish off every last bit of delicious, fatty cholesterol goodness.
Quim's Cake is well-known for its "moistest" chocolate cake in town — a signature recipe of the owner and executive chef, Jack Labang. It all began as a simple childhood love for cakes, a dream to bake, and to serve extraordinary home-made-cakes to everyone.
True enough, Quim's Cake Chocolate Cake is enticingly moist, and it's definitely one of the yummiest chocolate cakes I've ever tasted. I'm not into sweets, but I really have a soft spot for a gooey, decadent slice of chocolate cake.
My husband loves the Chunky Carrot Cake. A light and classic carrot cake with grated carrots, topped with cream cheese frosting.
Chef Jack also has other cake creations that are made of the finest ingredients, baked with international quality and expertise served in a cozy setting – Cappuccino Crunch, Pistachio Mucho, Ube Royale, Red Velvet, Nelusko Choco, and Mango Loco.
Quim's Cake also accepts orders for all-occasion concept cakes and party reservations; and offers catering services within Metro Manila.
The '5 Million Worth of Cakes' Social Media Controversy'
The controversial post that earned Quim's Cake its popularity is, believe it or not, a personal stand (and NOT a marketing strategy) by one of its owners, Chef Labang. But since the brand has been dragged along with the issue, the owners agreed to 'sweeten' the already sour situation by giving away cake samples to the public.
Keeping their promise that if Mayor Duterte wins the presidential elections, Quim's Cake will give-away cake samples (slices) worth PhP 5 million. Free cakes shall be given in phases (every 1st and 15th day of the month) starting on July 1 for the first pre-registered 50 lucky individuals.
There is an ongoing event on Facebook about Quim's Cake giving away cake samples on June 30, 2016. This is NOT TRUE. Free cakes will be given starting July 1, in phases or batches.Sampling will be done at 38 Tomas Morato QC. With the following schedules from 3-5pm only:
JULY 1 – First 50 pax to register
JULY 15 – First 50 pax to register
AUGUST 1 – First 50 pax to register
AUGUST 15 – First 50 pax to register
SEPTEMBER 1 – First 50 pax to register
SEPTEMBER 15 – First 50 pax to register

OCTOBER 15 – First 50 pax to register
NOVEMBER 3 – First 50 pax to register
NOVEMBER 15 – First 50 pax to register

Schedules to be continued in 2017…

The 2014 Free People clothing collection takes inspiration from the hip street style seen in locations like San Francisco. The line features delicate lace dresses, wide-brimmed wool hats and vintage gold jewelry.
One of the best places to look to for fashion inspiration is the street and that is exactly what bohemian clothing brand Free People did for its latest collection. The lookbook features several seemingly normal models walking down the streets of San Francisco decked out in free-flowing skirts, knotted button-up shirts, thigh-high lace boots, printed shorts and tons of antique jewelry. The images were edited with various colored filters to add a vintage aesthetic to the lookbook.

Readers' Reflections
From a Minister in Missouri:
Brother Al, I finally got a chance to finish reading Reflections
#476 -- The OPA Strikes Again: Batty Battey's Body Bashing. All I can say is "Thank You!!" As a lifelong member of the One Cup fellowship within Churches of Christ, I find it shameful and embarrassing that one of our preachers (George Battey) would write, publish and distribute such filth as is found in his booklet. I was very offended at how he twisted God's Word in order to use it against his own brethren! The interesting thing is: George can actually be a fun and pleasant guy to be around. I have heard him give some stirring sermons. It is unfortunate that he is so shackled by the legalistic traditionalism to which he and a few others in the Old Paths Advocate faction are so devoted. I know, because I used to be one of them!! Keep up the good work, Al. I look forward to seeing you at The Tulsa Workshop. God bless you!
From a Minister in California:
Brother Maxey, It was GREAT talking with you on the phone today! As a preacher in the One Cup group, I very strongly support and encourage you in your fight for what's right. You must continue this good fight of faith (with God's Holy Spirit leading the way). Brother, the stands that you have taken against evil brethren are very much needed. ALL of your Reflections articles are great, but your single most brilliantly conceived and presented essay is "The Split-Second of Salvation" -- Reflections #348. I still believe that this article would cause even the most hardened legalist to pause and think ... even if only for a split-second!! Keep up the great work you are doing!!
From a Reader in Texas:
Dear Brother Al, I admit that I have thought at times, "I wish that Al would just leave these wackos alone!" And yet, I do not believe such would serve the purpose of Christ Jesus. Some men are put out on the front line of the battle for Truth because of their talents, and you, brother, happen to be one of those warriors God has placed out there in the trenches to deal with the buzzards!! Basically, and this may have been the point of your last Reflections, those who are intent upon devouring the lambs of God WIN when God's warriors step back and ignore what is happening right before their eyes! Brother Al, when you expose the ridiculous actions of these people, it opens the eyes of the rest of us to what is really happening! Keep up the great work, and warrior on!!
From a Missionary in Honduras:
Dear Brother Al, This morning (as I do every Wednesday) I am headed to the Tegucigalpa dump with food for the hungry!! At this dump, people compete with the buzzards as they search for something which they can eat or sell. It is a sight that is incredible, and impossible to describe. It's a very dark place! Your article today ("Battling the Buzzards") really hit home. Recent attacks on our ministry are best described as buzzard puke!! I really appreciate the advice that one cannot win a puking contest with buzzards! Thanks for all you do for the Kingdom.
From a Missionary in Tanzania, Africa:
Dear Brother Al, As crazy as it may sound, my wife posted that picture (the little girl followed by the buzzard) on our refrigerator years ago to remind us not only of how blessed we are, but also to cause us to focus not on trivial things, but rather on things that really matter in this world. There is pain and sorrow in this world that we will never know or experience. So, as we consider our own blessings, we should also be considering what we can do to be a blessing to others!
From a Reader in China:
Dear Bro. Al, I just read "Battling the Buzzards." I don't think I can remember you ever being quite so passionate in your writings before!! You must have received some really crazy emails to light that fire!! I LOVE IT!! Tell ya what -- you load 'em up, and you and I can sit there and pick those "buzzards" off one at a time!!
From a Minister in Toronto, Canada:
Brother Al, Both the buzzard photo and the article about the OPA booklet gave me the same sick feeling!! Many of us are thankful that you have the ability to deal with the teachings of such persons! Even though you will probably not be able to convince any of those whose income or reputation depend on the stands they have taken, nevertheless you are helping those caught up in their deceitful webs to break free.
From a Missionary in Belgium:
Brother Al, I would like to order all sixteen of your CDs -- as per your Special CD Offers. A check is enclosed. Also, the piece you wrote about the age of the earth -- Reflections #475 -- Theory of Evolutionary Creation: Are Christianity & Evolution Compatible? -- comes with excellent timing for our purposes here, as our upcoming program includes a mini-debate on this issue.
From a Minister in Florida:
Dear Brother Al, I enjoy reading your articles. I also appreciate your honest and open approach to the various topics you address. Thank you for your good work in your writing ministry. Please send me one copy each of your books Down, But Not Out and One Bread, One Body. Never give up, brother!!
From a Reader in Florida:
(An email sent to her sisters-in-Christ)
Dear Sisters, I'm sending you a link to Al Maxey's last Reflections (#477), which I feel the need to share. You may have already read it if you are on his mailing list. Sometimes I've not enjoyed reading some of Al's Reflections articles, as they reveal the internal debates and battles of the various Church of Christ factions over doctrine and some long-held legalistic attitudes. Lots of times I've wondered why he bothered dealing with these attitudes!! Well, this article makes it very clear why Al Maxey continues to respond to the attacks he gets from his opponents in the church, and why he reveals their false doctrines to his readers through his writings. I will now have a much different attitude when I read his future articles dealing with the hatred and the opposition he faces! I'll understand that there are buzzards out there feeding off of the weak and sick in spirit, and that when we ignore them, doing nothing to protect the wounded and weak, we become part of that evil. Thank God for men like Al Maxey who have put themselves and their families at risk for vicious attacks from these people in order that they may free the slaves from their bondage to sin and legalism. God bless him!!
From an Elder in West Virginia:
Dear Brother Al, It has been a couple of years since my wife and I sat in your office and chatted with you! I appreciated that moment so much, and I still carry the memory of seeing you there at your desk amongst your interrupted work, taking the time for an unexpected visit with a brother passing through! Al, I am nearing the end of my earthly course. I am now an elder with a congregation that has fallen prey to vultures twice, yet we have managed to hang tight and stay loyal to the Lord. With God's help I'm trying to help mend the broken hearts and heal the hurts from the work of these vultures by demonstrating His love for these victims to the best of my ability. Brother, one of my biggest regrets is that I did not come across you years ago!! Your teaching has opened my eyes to a great many things that could have helped me better confront and confound these scavenging birds!! Perhaps God will bless my final years with opportunities to serve Him better! And, Bro. Al, I have you to thank for that! May God continue to bless your work for His cause.
From a Reader in Oklahoma:
Bro. Al, "Battling the Buzzards" was your most powerful Reflections yet. Now, I must decide what I am to do with what you have shown me!! Thank You, Al.
From a Reader in Florida:
Brother Al, I too want to battle the buzzards, and I know that many of us will resolve to do the same as you. Thus, we will be a force to be reckoned with! Thank you for exposing the danger the buzzards pose. Keep on keeping on, brother!
From a Reader in New Mexico:
Dear Brother Al, You've got to have the hide of an alligator to ward off all the buzzards that attack you on a weekly basis!! However, knowing you personally these many years, I defy anybody to refute your teachings of Truth from the Holy Bible. Your debate with the Contending for the Faith bunch -- The Maxey-Broking Debate on Patternism -- for example, showed that these people could only resort to name-calling and expressions of hatred toward you personally, rather than any reasoning from Scripture, throughout the debate, which just showed their foundation was loose sand, not solid rock. Brother Al, please keep up the good work. You have far more readers learning the right way via your teachings than you could ever imagine!! May the good Lord continue to bless you and your family.
From a Reader in Connecticut:
Dear Brother Al, Just for the record -- I was almost gone spiritually (like the girl in the picture) when you so boldly rescued me from the vultures of discouragement, hopelessness, despair and surrender. When no one else could (or would), you stepped right in and helped me safely to the camp where I found the nourishment of compassion, love, TRUTH and understanding. Thank you, Al, for keeping my "buzzards" at bay. I will forever be grateful for you helping me to reach the safety of that camp!! I love you, brother!!
From a Reader in Florida:
Brother Al, You have put us all to shame by your willingness to confront the buzzards in order to rescue their victims. Silence in the face of such evil can be very deadly!! I thank you for this article ("Battling the Buzzards"), and the serious reminder it provides that we are in spiritual warfare ... and that all too often, the enemy is in our ranks!
From a Disaster Relief Leader in Louisiana:
Brother Al, I agree with your writings most of the time, as you know, and have always deeply appreciated the work you do to "unseat" the legalists who are hurting the Gospel so much!! I only wish you were closer, so we could do some "face-to-face" talking. The photo you used in your article of the child stalked by the vulture stirred my heart. As you know, I have spent over 30 years helping hungry people in the wake of all kinds of disasters (including 6 wars)! I'm attaching some photos I took in Ethiopia in 1985, the only place I have been where people actually fell dead around me (not just one time, but many times)! God bless you, Al. May your ministry grow and continue to succeed. We need scholars such as yourself to point out the sin of legalism. The Lord Jesus Christ spent much of His time fighting this very same evil. However, let's not forget the many great brothers and sisters within our fellowship who devote time and money to feed the hungry in the name of our Lord. I am very proud to "cast my lot" with the Churches of Christ, for they are doing much around the world to help those less fortunate. I commend you for your work, Al, and pray that God will bless your fellow elders who, in their wisdom, continue to encourage you in this work!! And God bless your sweet wife, whom we remember fondly from our visit with you in Honolulu, Hawaii after hurricane Iniki.

This is only the second time that Chokling Rinpoche will be giving this teaching in a large gathering.

The unveiling of a fresh batch of graduates from KABK's intensive one-year masters course in type design has been much anticipated moment for a couple of years now. Since the actual presentation improved so much with the introduction of the 2011 Type]Media website last year it has turned into a minor event in the type world.
This year's website does not disappoint, both in the quality of the type designs and once more an excellent online portfolio, designed by Thijs van der Vossen of Fingertips, using Bold Monday's monospaced Nitti. Twelve bright new hopes for type design each have their dedicated section, allowing them to present their work with a couple of well-designed sample pages and a concise blurb cum biography. The influence of the school's philosophy and of the teachers very subtly shines through, yet the typefaces all look accomplished and personable. As for the graduation projects of the other main post-graduate course in type design – Rob Keller explained that the after their typeface submission the University of Reading MATD class still have to turn in their dissertations, which interferes with their ability to properly present said typefaces. I hope they somehow find a way to also share their creations with the rest of the world. With such great post-graduate courses the future of type design continues to look promising.

I'm in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend. We have been dating for just about a year. (We knew eachother for a couple of years before we started dating. But we now live in different states) We see eachother every 2-3 months. Either I go visit him or he comes visits me or we meet up in our home town. We were together just this last month- spent the whole summer and did some traveling together. and now I'm going to see him in November. We have planned on moving in together once he finishes up with college. (He's in his last year) so we don't plan on being LDR'S for that much longer.
Anyways... lately he's been giving me the "Cold Shoulder" We used to talk in so much more depth then we are now. Even if we didn't text much through out the day- the texts were always sweet, and cute. Now they are one worded. bland texts. He used to go crazy and text me "BABY!! I LOVE YOU!!!" all the time, or "hey sweetie, i'm thinking of you at work". but now... it's "hey", or "morning" or "nighty night". I don't understand. I tell him every day that i love and miss him and all he can say is "yeah?" I ask him if he still loves me and he says" oh here we go, again" "You know the answer to that" Sometimes I feel like screaming REALLY DO I? BECAUSE IF I DID WHY THE F WOULD I BE ASKING IT!!! ugh, We used to talk every night on the phone before bed.. now i get no calls and if i do it's just him saying "hey, goodnight.. gotta go now bye." There is no more I love you's from him. But yet he still tells me he is excited for me to go see him in November.
I'm soo confused as to why he isn't treating me like his girlfriend that he loved so greatly. It's like he's bored or annoyed with me. In a matter of weeks he turned into a totally different person! Its really hurtful and every time I bring it up or try talking about it to him he gets angry and says stuff like "We always have this conversation, every night"
I just can't get through to him. I think I'm really losing him.
Most Helpful Guy
From my experience long distance relationships do not work, unless, two things happen. Money and sex, these two rules are or should I say is the key to a long distance relationship. Now since this mostly applies to a man, I won't go into the details. Now for a women you need to use this to understand him, maybe easy him into communicating with you on what is going on. Let me explain, a man trying to distance himself may mean that he's wrap round an issue and doesn't know how to express himself. It could be from the jitters of leaving college and facing the real world or may have second thoughts about the relationship both of which are about money and sex. With a smile (or smiley via text) ask him about his 5yr plan to get him thinking. At this point be patient give some space and quickly tell him to stand-by or brb, take 5min's come back and let him know your back. What does he see us (You&Him) doing in five years? This by no means is a simple question, this is where you may get your answer whether good or bad. Great men always think in blocks (this is why you can call us Block Heads and not be offended) like what am I going to be doing in 5yrs, 10yrs or 15yrs from now? In five years, i. e., I want a wife, house, dog and a bouncing baby. So in 5 yrs. he will try his best to accomplish that those goals, the question is are you in that plan?00|00|0

TALLINN – According to a panel of experts of the Estonian Institute of Economic Research (EKI) Estonia's economic situation was more or less what was expected in December, but growth was slower than forecast at the start of the year.
The reason behind that is a slower growth of the global economy than predicted as well as continuing geopolitical problems which have reduced the demand for Estonia's trade partners. A positive thing is that private consumption has successfully developed, inflation has remained low, participation on the labor market has become more active and salaries have grown, it is written in the fourth quarter's economic overview of the Institute of Economic Research.
EKI's experts rated the present situation of Estonia's economy with 5.2 points in December, which is 0.2 points better than in September. Of the experts, 11 percent assessed the situation as being good, 84 percent as satisfactory and 5 percent as bad.
The state of investments was seen as unsatisfactory by the experts, although the assessment grew by 0.3 points to 3 points in December. The state of private consumption was assessed as being good.
When comparing Estonian economy's state in December with December 2015, the situation has somewhat improved.

text: Commentary on Motor Proficiency in Children With Neurofibromatosis Type 1Biedry, Nancy L. PT, MS, PCS; Cech, Donna J. PT, DHS, PCSPediatric Physical Therapy: December 2010 - Volume 22 - Issue 4 - p 349 doi: 10.1097/PEP.0b013e3181fab948 Clinical Bottom Line Author Information Rehabilitation Services Department, Central DuPage Hospital, Winfield, Illinois Physical Therapy Program, Midwestern University, Downers Grove, Illinois "How could I apply this information?" This article uses a standardized measurement tool, the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, 2nd edition (BOT 2), with a sample of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and begins to define the body structure and functional issues that may lead to activity limitations and participation restrictions. The BOT 2 is an appropriate measurement tool and should help therapists design effective interventions for children with NF1. The BOT 2 identified a motor proficiency delay in children with NF1, in the total motor composite score and 7 of 8 subtests. By including the BOT 2 in the PT examination of children with NF1, therapists may accurately identify children who would benefit from physical therapy services and design intervention plans for specific body structure and function impairments. The evidence provided in this article may assist school-based therapists in meeting Individuals with Disabilities Education Act requirements of (1) using technically sound instruments to confirm deficiencies that may affect academic performance and (2) basing the student's educational plan on peer-reviewed research to the extent practicable. The BOT 2 may provide information on specific components of motor proficiency that can negatively affect the child's academic performance, such as writing, keyboarding, and cutting. Deficits in strength and agility may interfere with participation in physical activity that is important for building a strong skeletal system and optimizing health over the lifespan. Children with NF1 are known to have decreased bone mineral density and increased risk for fractures and should benefit from interventions that increase participation in physical activity. "What should I be mindful about in applying this information?" The authors of this article caution about generalizing information to all children with NF1 because the sample size was so small and regionally specific. Therapists who do want to use the BOT 2 with this population should remember that the total motor composite score of the BOT 2 is the strongest indicator of motor performance and thus provides the most valid examination data. Even though it takes a long time to perform the entire BOT 2, it is important to complete the entire test to get the most valid examination data. Function and participation assessments such as the School Function Assessment or Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument should be used with the BOT 2 to assess the child with NF1. Nancy L.

Investors to Get a Piece of Empire State Building
By Ben Fox Rubin
Soon anyone will be able to own a little bit of the Empire State Building.
Empire State Realty Trust, the company that controls commercial and office properties in and around New York City, including the iconic skyscraper, filed for an initial public offering of up to $1 billion. The real-estate investment trust is looking to use the proceeds to repay loans and general corporate needs.
As of September 2011, the trust owned 12 office properties encompassing about 7.7 million rentable square feet of office space. Of that total, about 80% of the space was leased at the time.
Seven of the properties, making up 5.8 million square feet of office space and 432,000 square feet of retail, are located in the Midtown Manhattan, including the 2.8 million-square-foot Empire State Building. The other five properties are in Fairfield County, Conn., and Westchester County, N.Y.
