Shew! Finally! A day off! and what do I do? Rake leaves 🙂 look at this pretty one!
I know pretty much everyone has seen this picture already, but HAHAHAHAHA! check out these mad climbing skillz!
so Moosey can climb. Baby Ko, he's got a bum hip again this weekend. I felt so bad for him I made him a new squeaky toy!
I made him that bed too, just in case anyone is curious! It's a little small for him, maybe an upgrade for Christmas 🙂
I also cooked breakfast-You NEED this recipe!
MMmmmMMmmmMMmmm… cheeesey frittata!
6 eggs, mixed with 1/2 tsp oregano, some salt n pepa, dash of nutmeg: stir all that up in a bowl
chop some veggies, I had 1/2 yellow pepper, 1/2 green pepper, tiny butternut squash (peeled and diced), and 3/4 onion. get 'em nice and small and then sautee them until they are smelling good and kind of soft. Most everything was soft actually except the squash.
then get the veggies in a pan that can go in the oven! I used the fry pan with metal handle, so I just poured the eggs right on top and popped it in the 350 degree oven! You could totally use a pie pan though if you wanted.
O yeah! and sprinkle cheese all over the top!
bake for 20 minutes, or until set. This was so delicious. I hate cleaning up eggs but they taste so great, especially with cheese and veggies!
try not to make a mess like I did!
Hey! notice that Starbucks cup back there? This morning I ordered a milk with vanilla syrup and they GAVE IT TO ME FOR FREE! this was after eating a donut in the grocery store, I was so thirsty I just had to have some milk! (Don't worry we paid for the donuts)
crank up the tunes, time for a sewing party/play Diablo III party 😉 check out my li'l helper
getting there…
MooMoo follows me everywhere!
Hey! nice work with that sleeve up there!
andddd TADA!
That's it on that one for now, it might be a Christmas prezzie, so don't wanna ruin someone's surprise! hasta luego!

这幅全长将近两米的显示星星位置的卷子是颇具争议的探险家和学者奥雷尔•斯坦因(Marc Aurel Stein)100年前从中国敦煌带回英国的古籍之一,近年一直收藏在大英图书馆。 星图上标明了不下1339星星的位置,经现代天文学家测定,其中200多颗最明亮星星的位置异常准确。这张图何以到了敦煌石窟里仍是个谜。 避讳 1959年,剑桥大学的中国科技史专家李约瑟(Dr Joseph Needham)看到之后曾推断此图可能是五代后晋(公元936 - 947)年间绘制的,之后50年许多人都沿用了这种说法。
图中星星的位置,尤其是最明亮的那些据说非常精确。 但专家最近重新鉴定,认为星图比李约瑟的估计还要老300年,一个重要根据是图上文字对"民"字的避讳。 大英图书馆国际敦煌项目部主任魏泓博士(Dr Susan Whitfield,又译苏珊•惠特菲尔德)说,看过这张图的中国学者已经提出,这似是为了避讳皇帝名字。 若此,这幅图的年代应定在唐太宗李世民驾崩之后,唐睿宗李旦登基之前,即公元649 – 684之间,因为文中避讳了"民",却尚没有避讳"旦"。 御用星相师李淳风之作 魏泓博士说,图中文字出现"臣淳风言"的字样,显示原图应是648 – 664年间担当御用星相师的李淳风制作。因为只用其名,不用其姓像是自称,若出自他人之笔的话,出于尊重应用整个姓名才对。 她说卷末画出的手持弓箭的电神所穿的服饰,尤其是帽子的戴法也像是唐代早期绘制的。
图末手持弓箭的电神服饰为研究者提供了线索。 不过,她认为这份图是复制本,理由是有一两个星星的位置画错了地方,另外,图上看不到任何初绘这样一张图所需的坐标方格,而且使用的纸又很薄,可以用于描摹。 中国学者的观点 据报,中国学界过去20多年有不少人都已接受北京大学考古学教授马世长在80年代初期看过这张图后提出的观点,认为此图应当出于公元701 -710之间。
不过魏泓说,睿宗李旦在684年就被武则天立为皇帝,虽后来废了一段时间,但还是应从此便避讳其名,所以应把日期进一步推早。 马世长教授接受《深圳特区报》采访时对新的年代限定表示"略有质疑",说他要等看魏泓与两位法国天文学家让-马克•博奈-比多(Jean-Marc Bonnet-Bidaud)和弗朗索瓦丝•普热得瑞(Françoise Praderie)的论文,不过他对研究工作表示了赞赏。 不论这份天象图究竟是整整1,300年前绘制,还是更早几十年,没有争议的一点,就是它是迄今为止发现的世界上最古老的手绘星象图。
The map is a recorded image star observation, it is an important tool in astronomy to star identification and position indication. You may think that starmodern only, but in fact, the world's oldest star is China Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes "Dunhuang star".
This picture is nearly two meters in length display stars position papers iscontroversial explorers and scholars Aurel Stein (Marc Aurel Stein) is one of theancient British China back from Dunhuang 100 years ago, in recent years has been the collection at the British library. On the map marked more than 1339 the position of the stars by modern astronomers, determination, of which more than 200 brightest stars in abnormal position accuracy. This picture is still a mysterywhy to Dunhuang cavern. Taboo in 1959, the University of Cambridge expert on the history of technology China Joseph Needham (Dr Joseph Needham) this graph may be inferred saw after five Hou Jin (AD 936 - 947) years drawn after 50 years, many people have used this statement.
Figure in the position of the stars, especially the most bright those who is said to be very accurate. But experts recently re identification, think star than Joseph Needham also estimated 300 years old, an important basis is graph text of"people" of the word taboo. The British Library Director of the internationalDunhuang project department Dr. Wei Hong (Dr Susan Whitfield, also translatedSusan Whitfield) said, have seen the picture of the China scholars have put forward, this is in order to avoid the emperor name. If so, this picture age should be set after the death of Li Shimin Tang Taizong, before Tang Ruizong Li Danascended the throne, that the year 649 - 684 between, because the taboo"people", but there is no taboo "dan". The Royal astrologer Li Chunfeng as Dr. Wei Hong said, in the diagram text appears "Chen Chunfeng words" of the word,show the original should be 648 - 664 years as Royal astrologer Li Chunfeng.Because only its name, not its name as is claimed, if others from the pen words,out of respect for the name of the application. She said with a bow and arrow of God at the end of the electrical volume painted wearing apparel, especially thehat wearing is also like the early Tang Dynasty drawing.
Figure at the end of hand-held electric God dress arrow provides clues forresearchers. However, she believes the figure is a copy of the reason is thatthere are one or two, the positions of the stars draw the wrong place, also on the map can not see any initial draw a picture like this required grid, and the use ofpaper is thin, can be used for tracing. Chinese scholars' viewpoints according to the report, the Chinese scholars over the past 20 years, many people have accepted the Peking University archaeology professor Ma Shichang have seenthis picture in the early 80's after the point, that this figure should be between thead 701 -710.
But Wei Hong said, yejong Li Dan in 684 years has been Wu Zetian made for the emperor, although later spent a period of time, but still should then evade its name, you shall set the date further early. Professor Ma Shichang accept the "Shenzhen daily" interview on the new age limit said "a slight doubt", said he would wait to see Wei Hong and two French astronomer Jean Mark Boni - more than (Jean-Marc Bonnet-Bidaud) and Francois Si - Purederui (Fran C oisePraderie) papers, but he on research work praise. Regardless of the planetariumis actually drawn exactly 1300 years ago, or even earlier decades, not a bitcontroversial, is that it is by far the world's most old hand chart.

Snowin' at Daytona - And More Signs That Hell's Freezing Over
Events at Daytona International Speedway have been cancelled or postponed by precipitation before. But today might be the first time in the track's history that an event was delayed because of snow.
Juan Pablo Montoya, who was at DIS this morning for the Rolex 24 test, broadcast the above photo via Twitter, while he was waiting for the weather to improve. It was announced today that Montoya, along with Jamie McMurray,
Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon will run the No. 02 Target/TELMEX Dinan-BMW Riley at the Rolex 24 for Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates.
Speaking of things I thought I'd never see nor hear, Kyle Busch told the media today at Sound and Speed in Nashville that he might personally be to blame for some of the drama his team experienced last season.
"Sometimes you have to learn from your mistakes," said Busch, who's now the proud owner of his own truck series team. Being a team owner may mature Rowdy before our very eyes - but I hope he doesn't outgrow all of the drama. It's darn fun to watch.
Finally, NASCAR may actually lift the ban on passing below the yellow line at Daytona and Talladega - answering the fervent prayer of many a fan and driver. NASCAR PR man Ramsey Poston hinted the rule change is coming on Sirius Radio yesterday, "We're going to let the drivers drive."
'Bout time!

Gotta love that global warming.ReplyDelete
Ain't got nuthin' to do with - or without - global warming. More of a weather anomaly, with a high-pressure mass over Greenland screwing with the jetstream and coursing cold air way south while Canada has seen record highs.ReplyDelete
Anyway, -ista, hope yer emerging from the deep freeze with nose and toes intact. Here in Mickeytown we froze over all too well. Sleet and snow on Saturday, and down it went from there. My garden looks like Armageddon. I want to go to the Bud Shootout in Feb., but I remember how cold it got afterward. Yeesus.
Hey OvalScream Did you take pix of the snow/sleet in Orlando? That's crazy it was so cold that far south. Lemme know if you're going to The Shootout - I'll be there.ReplyDelete

Readers can access the following deals at their favorite e-book retailers or through BookBub, where they can find even more deals.
Now that it's February (and didn't January just go on forever?), everyone's turning their eye toward romance — though of course we've never looked away from it. Here are six e-book deals filled with sexy bosses, deadly thrills and unexpected shapeshifters, where you'll meet enemies-to-lovers and tumble through time. Happy reading!
Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai (usually $5.99, now $1.99)
Alisha Rai, one of contemporary romance's brightest stars, makes her Avon Books debut with the first novel in the sexy Forbidden Hearts series!
One night. No one will know.
That was the deal. Every year, Livvy Kane and Nicholas Chandler would share one perfect night of illicit pleasure. The forbidden hours let them forget the tragedy that haunted their pasts—and the last names that made them enemies.
Until the night she didn't show up.
Now Nicholas has an empire to run. He doesn't have time for distractions and Livvy's sudden reappearance in town is a major distraction. She's the one woman he shouldn't want … so why can't he forget how right she feels in his bed?
Livvy didn't come home for Nicholas, but fate seems determined to remind her of his presence—and their past. Although the passion between them might have once run hot and deep, not even love can overcome the scandal that divided their families.
Being together might be against all the rules … but being apart is impossible.
Big Shot by Kim Karr (usually $3.99, now 99 cents)
A sizzling second-chance romance proving love defies time…
Ten years ago I had no idea what I wanted out of life, until I met Hannah Michaels. She was smart, sexy, and funny, and I was smitten. Even though I knew she was taken, I had to have her.
Being the big shot that I was, I didn't let her status stand in my way. It wasn't long before my hands were on her thighs and my name a whisper on her lips. This smart, sexy girl inspired me to greatness, helped me grow into the kind of man I never knew I wanted to be. The man I am today.
Too bad I hadn't grown fast enough to keep her.
Moving on wasn't easy, but I knew I had to let her go. Eventually, I found someone to share my days and nights with, and together we had a daughter. My life was nearly perfect until my world turned upside down.
A single father has challenges, and one of those is learning how to calmly deal with your child coming home in tears. I had no idea the day I pounded on my daughter's classmate's door, Hannah would be the one standing on the other side.
The wild, burning desire that rushed through my veins was unwanted, and yet impossible to ignore. Letting her in meant so much more this time around. Guilt hit me like a hammer. I hated myself. I hated her. The problem was I really didn't hate her. I wanted her more than ever.
But this time around, I can't have her.
This time it's my status that stands in our way…and going up against myself just might be the hardest thing I've ever done.
The Governess Affair by Courtney Milan (usually 99 cents, now free)
The start of a new series from New York Times bestselling author Courtney Milan…
She will not give up.
Three months ago, governess Serena Barton was let go from her position. Unable to find new work, she's demanding compensation from the man who got her sacked: a petty, selfish, swinish duke. But it's not the duke she fears. It's his merciless man of business—the man known as the Wolf of Clermont. The formidable former pugilist has a black reputation for handling all the duke's dirty business, and when the duke turns her case over to him, she doesn't stand a chance. But she can't stop trying — not with her entire future at stake.
He cannot give in.
Hugo Marshall is a man of ruthless ambition — a characteristic that has served him well, elevating the coal miner's son to the right hand man of a duke. When his employer orders him to get rid of the pestering governess by fair means or foul, it's just another day at the office. Unfortunately, fair means don't work on Serena, and as he comes to know her, he discovers that he can't bear to use foul ones. But everything he has worked for depends upon seeing her gone. He'll have to choose between the life that he needs, and the woman he is coming to love…

It's just another day at the office for Washington Metro Police lieutenant Sam Holland when a body surfaces off the shores of the Anacostia River. But before Sam can sink her teeth into the new case, Secret Service agents seize her from the crime scene.
A threat has been made against her family, but nobody will tell her anything—including the whereabouts of her husband, Vice President Nick Cappuano. This isn't the first time the couple's lives have been at risk, but when a bombshell from Sam's past returns to haunt her, she can't help but wonder if there's a connection.
With a ruthless killer out for vengeance, and Nick struggling to maintain his reputation after secrets from his own past are revealed, Sam works to tie the threat to a murder that can't possibly be a coincidence. And she has to get it done before her husband's career is irrevocably damaged…
Kodiak's Claim by Eve Langlais (usually $3.99, now free)
He might growl, but she's not afraid to bite.
Hands full taking care of his clan, the last thing this Kodiak bear needs is a woman poking her cute little nose into his affairs. But when she refuses to back down — and shows the courage to stand up to him — he can't resist the allure of a curvy city girl.
She's mine. All mine.
And when a rival clan thinks to use her to force his paw, he'll show them why you never tick off a Kodiak, or threaten what's his.
Tammy is convinced all men are scum, even gorgeous ones like Reid Carver. She knows he's hiding something. Something big. She just never expected a real freaking bear hid underneath all those yummy muscles. But when the truth comes out and he tries to scare her off with a roar, she shows him not just bears have bite.
Valley of the Moon by Melanie Gideon (usually $12.99, now $1.99)
The author of the critically acclaimed Wife 22 has written a captivating novel about a love that transcends time—perfect for readers of The Time Traveler's Wife, Time and Again, and the novels of Alice Hoffman.
San Francisco, 1975. A single mother, Lux Lysander is overwhelmed, underpaid, and living on the edge of an emotional precipice. When her adored five-year-old son goes away to visit his grandparents, Lux takes a solo trip to Sonoma Valley—a chance to both lose herself and find herself again.
Awakened at midnight, Lux steps outside to see a fog settled over the Sonoma landscape. Wandering toward a point of light in the distance, she emerges into a meadow on a sunny day. There she meets a group of people whose sweetly simple clothing, speech, and manners almost make them seem as if they are from another time.
And then she realizes they are.
Lux has stumbled upon an idyllic community cut off not only from the rest of the world but from time itself. The residents of Greengage tell a stunned and disoriented Lux that they've somehow been marooned in the early twentieth century. Now that she has inexplicably stepped into the past, it is not long before Lux is drawn in by its peace and beauty.
Unlike the people of Greengage, Lux discovers that she is able to come and go. And over the years, Lux finds herself increasingly torn between her two lives. Her beloved son is very much a child of the modern world, but she feels continually pulled back to the only place she has ever truly felt at home.
A gorgeous, original, and deeply moving novel about love and longing and the power that time holds over all of us, Valley of the Moon is unforgettable.
Every week, BookBub, a free service that alerts millions of readers to limited-time e-book deals, shares some of their latest romance e-book picks with Happy Ever After readers.

The cryptocurrency market is exciting. Sure. It's faced-paced. Certainly. But it's also highly volatile. Even the most hardened traders amongst us would admit that there are no guarantees when making investments. But what if there was a way to make money from the bitcoin phenomenon without investing? It's possible and it could happen if you look into spread betting.
The Launch of Bitcoin Futures
In December 2017, CME Group, the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange operator, launched a market which allows traders to bet on the future value of bitcoin. This competes with Cboe Global Markets, which launched its own bitcoin futures market earlier that same month. And what this means is that the doors are now open for futures trading.
What Are Futures?
Futures trading involves the exchange of a contract obliging a buyer to purchase an asset or a seller to sell an asset at a predetermined date in the future, at a predetermined price. The first futures contracts were issued as long ago as the 17th century, but now with the launch of bitcoin futures markets this form of trading has been given an exhilarating new lease of life.
Why Choose Spread Betting?
The advantages of choosing spread betting, using a reliable trading company, are many, and these include:
- Risk management, meaning that you can benefit from bitcoin trading without actually trading bitcoin.
- Benefiting from falling prices, which is possible because you are not buying any bitcoin but rather betting whether they will rise or fall in value.
- Saving on stamp duty, as you are not buying or selling any physical assets.
- Saving on commission, because you are not buying any bitcoin from a broker.
Saving on Tax
Currently in the UK, spread betting also brings with it the advantage of not requiring tax to be paid on profits. However, tax laws are likely to be changed soon, making this something that could possibly be factored out of deciding whether to choose bitcoin spread betting.
Margin Trading
Spread betting involves trading on the margin, which means that just a small deposit may be required to make a huge profit. However, the converse is also true, and a large loss could result from that same small bet. So, spread betting leverage should be seen as a double-edged sword when it comes to the world of bitcoin futures.
The Future of Bitcoin Futures
The existing bitcoin futures markets are likely to grow to include other cryptocurrencies. There is also the possibility that new markets might arise in competition to these already established giants. But only time will tell which, if any of them, becomes the authority when it comes trading.
As mentioned above, taxation laws concerning spread betting in general are likely to change, which will almost certainly have a dampening effect on futures markets. Authorities are also looking to heavily regulate the bitcoin futures market specifically, which might make it even less enticing to trade in this way.
One thing is for certain, though, and it's that spread betting on bitcoin is currently possible and might just be in what investors of the future will consider a golden age. If you understand the risks, and want to benefit from bitcoin without buying bitcoin, then spread betting might be right for you.

May 20, 2011 - Middleburg Heights, OH
After years of dreaming, and with the help of many generous contributors, the Expressive Art Therapy Center has opened at Akron Childrens Hospital. Music, art, poetry and dance have been used by the hospital for years as a way to help children and their families cope with illness and express their feelings. This center expands on this healing concept, providing musical instruments, art supplies, a performance stage and even a recording studio for the patients to use.
Michael Pope, President of Audio Video Interiors, had been working with the hospital for several years on a similar project to provide an audio video experience for the children. With an inspired idea of Dr. Sarah Friebert, the vision and scope of the original project grew and Pope explains,"When we learned of the Expressive Arts Therapy project and how the children could benefit from an interactive system that included a recording studio, projection system, and performing stage, we immediately decided to merge our talents with the architects and creative hospital staff to help make this incredible, healing room a reality." Gary Matthews, CTS, Director of Business Deveolpment, designed the AV system with scalability and ease-of-use in mind, allowing for the system to grow as needed while being simple to operate. The system allows the children to perform karaoke-style while being filmed using a professionl-grade pan/tilt/zoom camera controlled much like a video game via a joystick. He was able to achieve his design goals with the generous support from manufacturers including NEC, Crestron and Ashly, each providing donated or deeply discounted products. The system is completely automated and provides assisted listening, making it wheelchair & hospital bed accessible, as well as being available to the hearing-impaired. Clay Matthews, CTS, served as the Programmer and Lead Technician on the installation. Clay programmed camera pre-sets and simple function buttons, making the hi-performance system user-friendly.
Opening Ceremony Recognizes the Contributors
A Reception was held on Wednesday Evening to recognize the project's contributors. Dr. Sarah Friebert, Director of Pediatric Palliative Care and the driving force behind the therapeutic center, was presented with a "Create, Heal, Inspire" neon sign, a replica of the one hanging over the center's entrance. "There are as many ways to handle difficult situations as there are people facing them," says Dr. Friebert. "Coping skills-both for physical pain and emotional trauma-are enhanced when children can tap into something meaningful to them instead of trying to communicate only in ways that adults will understand.''
The evening included a performance of music and dance, in celebration of the opening, along with a history of the center's inspiration and gratitude towards the foundations and individuals that made the center possible.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has ducked out of showbiz for a bit to concentrate on her studies at Oxford University… at least that's what she said she was going to do a while back.
It seems she can't stay out of the limelight though and has just got herself all dolled up in a pretty backless, corset dress with tulle skirt to attend a promotional event in Hong Kong for Lancome.
Only a couple of weeks ago Emma attended the London premiere of My Week with Marilyn, in which she plays a wardrobe assistant to the Hollywood icon.
Talking to reporters there she said she related to Marilyn and what she coped with being under the showbiz spotlight.
"I certainly feel a lot for her and for what she went through," she said.
"I think she was just trying to find her feet in the midst of this kind of crazy circus that went on around her, and trying to find some sort of balance and some sort of normality in her life, and I can definitely relate to that."
Thankfully it looks like Emma's finding her middle ground and is managing to juggle her studies with the occasional appearance.
The 22 year old actress is also ensuring she won't be out of work after Uni and said: "There are a lot of things that I'm lining up."
There'll be no slogging for years to pay off the student loan for Emma then.

BEHIND THE SCENES: Maja Kozel gives us exclusive insight into her current projects
I am currently on six projects, one charity project called Surge for Water, and on the side, I made a few sketches for a competition. I love how the projects I am working on are so diverse, from a villa interior to an office space, a training center/showroom and a café interior and last but not least the Charity competition where together with Hernan Hoentsch we are designing a floor lamp, which will be auctioned at the charity event in December.
Three of the projects are in the final stage, two of them (one office interior and one F&B outlet) in the construction phase and one at the concept stage. To be honest, all of the phases are in a different way exciting. The concept part is great as this is where your creativity can flourish; the construction phase is the time where you would need to be more solution driven. When a project is finalized it gives me a content feeling when the client is proud and satisfied with their new space.
Pastryology is one of the projects, which is in construction phase at the moment. Pastryology is a café with desserts and specialty coffee, located at Mina Rashid. When I got commissioned to work on this project a few months ago I was super excited, as the concept of the café was something different. The interesting part of the design stage is that we were working with four reused, raw shipping containers, which was something quite unusual. After the concept design & detailed drawing package, the client and I selected the contractor who is currently working on site. I love the period where projects are becoming realised, as you can slowly see the design being moulded into shape.
Can't wait to share the end result with everyone!

Name Politics Beats Economics Rationality
Alex Tajirian
March 28, 2001
In November 2000, the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
approved seven companies as registrars for seven newly approved
top-level domain suffixes. The selection process of the new registrars
and the suffixes has come under strong criticism, and for good reason.
ICANN is the group charged by the US government
with overseeing the domain name system.
The allocation seems to have been politically
motivated as opposed to being economically sound. There is no compelling
economic rationale for the negotiated allocations, which are usually
inferior to the use of auctions as a means to allocate scarce resources.
Moreover, the rejection of some of the proposed extensions is also
Auctions can be designed as an efficient mechanism
to sell rights, especially when there are no secrets imbedded in
the assets being sold. That is how, for example, telecommunication
licenses are allocated, as well as the periodic sale of U.S. Treasury
bonds. Even the models used in privatizing government-owned companies
of Eastern Europe and Soviet Federation take into account competition
among the interested parties. Ownership transformation of company
asserts were conducted through auctions or through putting together
a governance structure that is based on market driven incentives
such as the packaging of assets in the form of mutual funds.
For national security reasons, negotiated deals
make sense as a means for the government to allocate defense contracts
rather than auctioning them off. Another example of common negotiated
deals are when companies select an investment bank to underwrite
new stock and bond issues or to represent a company in merger &
acquisition negotiations. Companies don't want to make public corporate
secrets, which whey would have to if they were to select the best
investment bank through an auction.
It is not clear what secrets we are talking about
in the ICANN deal. Secrecy obviously comes at the expense of some
gross misuses of the system as in having the government billed thousand
of dollars for an ashtray and a toilet seat!
Also for selection of extensions, especially xxx.
Even if ICANN did not see any real economic benefit from this extension,
they must have known that there was enough interest in the idea
that someone would provide it outside the ICANN umbrella. In fact,
there are at least three such companies now. To maintain its legitimacy,
ICANN has to eventually negotiate with these independent registries
in order to create some stability and reduce uncertainty in the
industry. Thus, there is enough smoke to believe that the decision
not to approve a ".xxx" or ".sex" extension
was politically motivated.

Are you the owner of a car? You have more than likely needed repairs in the past. Finding a good mechanic to fix your car can be very stressful. The following advice will help you find the right mechanic.
Regularly check your radiator's performance. Start your car, wait a few minutes and shut it off so you can safely inspect the radiator. Then check the coolant level, but while the car is not running. You do not want the coolant to get hot; it is dangerous. Look at the coolant you have in your radiator by checking it with a dipstick but remember that coolant usually needs to be mixed with water before putting it into your vehicle.
To keep rust from becoming an issue, wash and wax your car regularly. Salt and other harmful chemicals will speed up the rusting process. If you want to avoid rust at all costs, do your best to clean the car thoroughly after contact with these substances. Waxing your car helps protect the paint.
Keep track of all the repairs and maintenance you do on your vehicle. One good place to keep them is in a folder in the trunk right above your spare tire. Auto service experts may need to refer to them. They help them figure out what's wrong quickly.
Watch out for mechanics that don't know what they're doing. If you're receiving double-talk when you ask them a question, they are probably not the mechanic for you. Make sure that you trust the person that you are working with.
With the large number of shady auto repair shops, it can be troublesome finding one that really has your interests at heart. Be sure to use the tips mentioned when you are in need of a good mechanic. The right effort and investigation can really save you the struggle later on.

I am not in the habit of making New Year's resolutions. However, I have made three this year.
I am going to pay off the remainder of my car loan. This should not be terribly difficult. All I have to do is call the bank and get it done.
I am going to buy a house. I have been renting an apartment for about four years and, at nearly $1000 each month in rent, that is a lot of money has has gone down the proverbial drain. I know nothing about home-buying, unfortunately. This may prove to be a daunting task. There are so many questions. Foremost on my mind is: Is it better to take out a loan or pay cash? I have enough in savings to buy a home. I do not like the idea of being in debt. I am completely debt free except for my car loan and I would prefer to stay that way. This is something I will have to think long and hard about.
Finally, for better or for worse, I am going to make a more conscious effort to keep in touch with those I care about. I have lost touch with a good number of friends in my travels. Yes, I have made some new friends along the way, but I still have emotional ties with a select few from my youth. Thankfully, through Facebook and other social media sites, I have been able to reconnect with most.

Sheep eat chopped straw with a few grains of barley then have to "scratch" in
those horrid hills, having fed lambs first! Note FAT tails still fat!
DARK RED dogs blend with such a flock.
Veiled woman (mine host) waits to let out lambs, knows EVERY ONE - if lost, matches
them up instantly. A basket of newly hatched goslings "peeped" all night by my
double featherbed.
Note excellent winter coats on all. Some have cropped ears but not all. Much interplay
noted, as dogs were from different households, so some semi-threats were being issued. The
brown stuff is winter-fuel, for the iron stoves and WONDERFULLY warming it is too.

ANOTHER very successful Notting Hill Carnival has just drawn to a close with around a million people on the streets of west London having a good time.
Television news bulletins have been full of colourful pictures of people in fantastic and beautiful costumes dancing along to the music and they always include a few shots of police officers joining in the fun.
But those bulletins have totally failed to inform us that prior to the event 656 people were arrested, not on the basis of any crime they had committed but on the basis of crimes that senior police officers thought they might be going to commit.
David Musker, the Metropolitan Police gold commander for the event, admitted that he does not care what he arrests people for. He said: "I don't really care what we arrest them for, I'll be [as] lawfully audacious as I can to get them off the streets.
"So whether they've got heroin or they've got other class A drugs, [are] drug dealing, [or] serious violence takes place at carnival, we will try to target them and get them off the streets."
According to the Guardian, many people were been released on pre-charge bail. This means the police have yet to decide whether there is enough evidence to charge them with any offence. But it does mean they can impose bail conditions.
And most were banned from the area where the carnival takes place.
As the Canary on-line news agency previously reported, the police were already facing accusations of racism for the way they had been conducted their policing operation.
And as a spokesperson for the Network for Police Monitoring (Netpol) told the Canary: "Carnival receives this treatment precisely because it is the UK's largest celebration of Caribbean culture.
"It helps the police to justify the continued targeting of black communities for the disproportionate use of stop and search powers in London. It reinforces the deeply racist idea that these communities are somehow intrinsically – and uniquely – linked to violence and drug use.
"The Met is also facing criticism for its use of facial recognition software at the carnival. Musker claimed about the software: 'It's not loaded; it's loaded with people who we know are involved with criminality, who are wanted. It's not a speculative search tool.'
"But given the police hold more than 20 million images in their facial recognition database, this statement may give little comfort. Musker also claimed to have consulted privacy groups to ensure 'that what we are doing is proportionate, legal and effective'.
"But it is not 'proportionate' to arrest 656 people when the person in charge of the policing operation doesn't care what they're arrested for.
"It is not 'proportionate' to scan whole crowds to see if they match an image. Whether it is 'legal' or not is something that will be decided in the future.
"And 'effective' is at best unknown, and only relevant if no one cares about our civil liberties.
"Using pre-charge bail conditions to keep people away from events is nothing new. It is a tactic that the police have often used against protesters. And it has faced much criticism.
"But this is on a massive scale, and from a Met commander who appears to be utterly blasé about what he's doing. This policing operation should worry us all. From pre-emptive arrests to facial scanning, this is not the sort of society any of us should want to live in."

Episode 9: What Are Classified Ads and How To Use It For Traffic & Leads
Today is episode nine of 21 sources of traffic and lead sources you probably ever hardly use or know about. And today, I will be sharing strategy #9 nine which talks about classified ads. But first of all lets cover what is classified ads (if you did not know). Then I will share with you how they help in generating traffic and leads for you blog and business.
So let's get started;
What is Classified Ads?
Definition: Classified Ads simply means classified advertisements. Classified ads are small advertisements placed in online or offline medium. These ads are placed in categories or classes for people to easily find them.
How Classified Ads Could Probably Improve Traffic and More Leads
Now that we know what they are let us quickly look at how they can help improve traffic and generate leads for our business. I have placed three main reasons why I believe they are worth the time and money. One thing to note is that although these websites allow you to create and place free ads they also offer paid options for more targeting. As to whichever is more effective is not the subject we are covering now.
- Classified Websites Get Tonnes of Views – A general rule of thumb is that most classified websites attract millions of visitors. This means a tonne of traffic.
- Categorized To Make Visibility Easy – Because ads a categorized on classified sites it allows people to look for the right kind of content. With the right type of headline you are bound to catch some good amount of 'eyeballs'.
- Create Back-links to Your Blog or Site Easily – Most of the popular ones are high pr sites. This simply means the search engines (especially google) respects the authority on them. You may be asking how this benefits you? By placing ads with links back to your blog or site you gain some good link juice.

Junk food is all around us. It's convenient, and if we're used to eating it, we probably crave it. Eating healthy doesn't have to mean eating tofu or tasteless food.
In my case, I was highly motivated to minimize junk food because of the food comas I'd have after eating it. Sometimes, it wasn't even "junk" food that made me sleepy. In college, headed to morning classes, I'd be awake and feeling fine until I ate a muffin, then find myself overcome with sleepiness. One time, after drinking a cola while studying for an exam, I fell into such a deep sleep that a friend was unable to wake me. I slept, deeply, for several hours.
Needless to say, it couldn't go on.
Here are a few things that helped.
- Drink lots of water.
- Focus on what you WANT to eat, not on what you "shouldn't."
- Stop reading labels.
- Stop eating food that comes with a label.
- Eat fresh produce instead or make it yourself.
- Even a little change has impact. If it's one healthy food for breakfast, and that's it, give yourself credit. It's a start. At some point, you'll realize that you're ready for one healthy item at breakfast AND lunch, and before you know it, the healthy will outweigh the junk food.
- Fresh produce is only yummy if it's been grown with care. Forget tasteless supermarket tomatoes. Sure, organic is sometimes more expensive (not always!). Just buy one item at a time, then, and make it a treat. After a while, you'll start to crave the fresh taste. And about expense? For me, I started being less hungry, so I spent less.
- Try free-range chicken and free-range eggs. When I was in my teens, I began to notice that chicken no longer tasted the way it used to. I stopped eating it. Every once in a while, I'd be stuck. It would be the only thing available. A couple of those moments must have involved free-range chicken because I began to notice a difference in taste; and in the way I felt after I ate it.
- Organic milk lasts 2 weeks longer in my fridge than other milk. The "Got Milk" campaign is accurate in my house. If I don't have it, I want it. But when I had non-organic milk, I wasn't able to drink it quickly enough to get through it before it went bad. I threw out carton after carton of milk. Even small cartons! But organic milk lasts longer, I don't know why. Maybe it's just for me! So, even though it's more expensive per carton, I don't waste it, so the cost goes down.
- I still eat chocolate everyday.
- I still eat freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, sometimes everday for weeks!
- I still eat as much ice cream as I want. I never limit myself. The strange thing? Once I started eating healthier, I didn't crave ice cream as much as I used to. My ice cream intake has gone down about 90 percent and I don't even miss it. Weird, I know.

Why You Should Never Be Loyal To Your Job
Once upon a time, jobs offered benefits. These benefits included a matching 401K, pension, retirement fund, and stock options. For most people, those benefits no longer exist.
Related: 5 Key Rules For Career Changers
In fact, you're lucky if your employer even offers reasonable health insurance benefits.
As the years have passed, employers have slowly but surely chipped away at employee benefits leaving one to wonder what reason they have to be loyal to an employer.
It's like the classic frog in the boiling water scenario. If you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly increase the temperature, they'll lie there until eventually meeting their demise.
Are you content with being a frog?
Everyday you go to work, you're asked to work harder, work longer hours, and work for diminishing benefits.
At what point will you stop and turn the tables?
This issue we're facing today isn't isolated. It's a systemic issue that's deeply rooted in the American employment model. All hope is not lost as there are still a few companies in existence who still take care of their employees, but for the most part everyone is on their own and left to fend for themselves and establish a retirement fund on their own.
Now is the time to wake up and smell the coffee, and instead of accepting things for the way that they are, it's time for you to take action, because things will not get better.
If you want to maximize your earning potential and enhance your experience in your career, you must become indispensable, you must build a personal brand, you must market yourself in a way in which employers fight one another to give you top dollar for your skills, assets, and abilities.
The first thing you must do is get rid of the ridiculous notion of job loyalty.
This goes against all conventional wisdom, but it's important to rid yourself of this out-dated employment model.
Employer's certainly have. They're completely content with having a revolving door of new hires.
In the mean time, those who sit silently in their cubicle watching year after year go by with little or no raise and diminishing benefits, lose.
You need to make sure you're on the right side of history, and if employers have lost their loyalty to you by taking your benefits away, why should you remain loyal to them?
If the grass looks greener on the other side, go for it!
One thing that should be made loud and clear is that this new mindset isn't about revenge, it's about self-preservation.
In this day and age, the longer you stick with an employer the more likely you are to:
- Receive less wages than you're worth (based on market salary averages)
- Reduce the experience of your career
- Lose opportunities to learn new skills within your career
The relationship between employee and employer has changed and if you haven't adjusted, it's about time you make a change.

Place in Germany
It was a monday morning and I was on my way to work. I saw the sunrise over this beautiful view. There was no other way for me than to parking and take a picture of it. I like the atmosphere of this picture.
This picture was taken on our round trip through the caribbean sea. It was on a day on the dominican republic. The palms looks a little bit different to the normal one, but so cool!
After a snorkling trip through the Belize Barrier Reef we had a relaxing time on a mini, mini island. Of course, I had to make a photo for the memory :).
The photo I took a few weeks ago on a round trip through the Caribbean and Central America. That was at the Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica.
After the days at the wonderful Oktoberfest we had some cultural moments. So here you can see the result. The beautiful city hall at the Marienplatz in Munich.
Stunning sunset on the german island Norderney. This picture was taken in this summer. In the afternoon we walked on the beach and had only our IPhone with us. Fortunately, so we could photograph the beautiful sunset.
Here you can see the skyline of Abu Dhabi in the united arab emirates. A modern and at the same time so traditional city you should have seen.
In this summer we had a wonderful holiday with our best friends on the spanish island Mallorca. We rented there a Finca and on one day we had a trip to Alcudia were the picture was taken. The old town of Alcudia is simply beautiful.

The AD903 2 to 4 wire adapter allows connection of almost any audio source to a Tecpro ring intercom 2 wire system. For example, most broadcast video cameras have in-built 4 wire comms systems which are cabled within the main video cable. Use of an AD903 at the camera control unit will allow that camera to appear as a part of the Tecpro communication system, while minimising extra wiring and expense.
The AD903 will work with most separate send and receive communications systems in the same way. Levels are totally independently adjustable on input or output.
Other applications include injection of microphone or line level external inputs onto the comms system, and the connection for external equipment such as recorders, radio links, audio consoles or paging systems to listen to the comms system.

What is Poked On Facebook
How many times you have been poked by a buddy, associate, and affiliate? And exactly what was your reaction? I needed to compose couple of lines on this as I am recently (massively) poked on Facebook. It was regular, surprisingly massively poking (not superpoking), not clearly poked, but-- simply regular poke with 2 options provided: to poke back or remove poke.
Perceiving my Facebok space as my friendly social networking interactive play ground getting voluntarily or not numerous requests, superwall posts that ended in 'diminished' variation of my FB extended profile, I stopped and questioned in the previous couple of days: "exactly what is happening just recently with poking?" I've been for very long time on Facebook, but never had huge poking notifications daily. Why are my pokers, poking me all the time? Routinely.
Many dictionaries in addition to Wikipedia Poke specify as gesture of action of tapping and/or softly jabbing another individual with the idea of your finger or a pointy item. This is generally done to get this specific person's attention, and is commonly used as a kind of teasing, joking around with, or irritating another person.
What Is Poked On Facebook
Facebook as social media network specifies poke as social utility that connects you with individuals around you.
Exactly what is the purpose of this form of interaction with your good friends on Facebook with 2 basic actions?
If we leave out execution of poking in college in learning and communicating processes, we can think about other implications. Eliminating the poke could be interpretted by the good friend as ignoring the poke, however poking back simply invites your good friend to repeat the cycle.
In social networking terms, poke is contextual, and the context of poke is dependent upon the current level of familiarity between the 'poker' and the 'pokee'. I keep in mind last year I was invited to a group "Enough with poking, let's simply make love ", and disregarded ask for the membership as I observed then poking as friendly virtual gesture with buddies and coworkers, generally denoting verbal expression: "Hey, exactly what's up?", or "Take a look at me!", stating" "Hi", to someone you already know well or shrieking background form: "Hey, I'm here, online!," or "Hey, I'm hectic but just poked you to state I didn't forget this and that or will be back quickly', followed generally by message/email.
And there are pokes that are revealing more than friendly, mainly school behavior with undertone: "I poke you and now you have to poke me back".
Poking for enjoyable? "I won't pull your hair/ponytail-- but I'm poking you"-- aspects of (naïve) and light weighted flirtation. For that reason, poke can be flirting. Poke can be "I am shy but won't to say hi".
There many possible significances and interpretations behind the poke and in social networking technologies context poke can be perceived as: 1. showing the romantic * interest for the other, 2. High visibility, Low pressure method of getting attention 3. a light-weight interaction.
An intriguing series of it's implying but we constantly have to have in mind the social context and the level of intimacy in between 2 communication nodes.
When I expressed annoyance at today's enormous poking, among my associates wrote in his status bar on Facebook that poking is fun and is not quiting, and I genuinely think his perceiving of Facebook poking as light and 'on the run' social energy.
I've asked my pals what poke indicate to them, but they didn't know to explain ... they simply poke. While I was composing this text, friend of mine, IT engineer, attempted to comprehend principle of poking. He stated that poke is subjective, it can lead to misconceptions unless all parties agree on what a poke is or all celebrations accept that they cannot know exactly what a poke is. Perhaps.
Thus the article What Is Poked On Facebook from us, hopefully useful thank you.

Planet in house: Sun, Moon,Mercury,Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Planet in Sign: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Saturn in first house:
and well-aspected is a fortunate sign for no matter how a person may be handicapped in the start of life the ultimate success is assured through the patience, persistence, self-control and restraint of the person through a well-placed Saturn. Such people have a wonderful capacity for work. They seem never to tire and never to give up no matter what the obstacles. They have infinite confidence in themselves and their ability to accomplish that which they undertake and therefore they eventually win. But when Saturn is weak and afflicted in the First House it makes the person timid and averse to undertake responsibility; subtle, secretive, and distrustful of other people; of a gloomy disposition and inclined to seek isolation. Such people are usually shunned by others and doomed to sorrow, disappointment, delay and general trouble through life. This is also a bad sign for health, particularly in the earlier years. Bruises to the head, colds, and if Scorpio is rising, constipation; in our Leo poor circulation, in Cancer poor digestion, in Libra obstruction of the kidneys, renal calculi and other urinary difficulties and so on with the other signs.
Saturn in second house:
when well-aspected and particularly in its exaltation sign Libra, brings money by inheritance and ability to increase it by present economy, careful, conservative investments and similar methods. Some of the very wealthiest of the world's financiers have had Saturn in this position. They obtain the money wherewith to start from ancestors indicated by Saturn and from the saturnine ray in this house they derive the business acumen and far-sighted methods that enable them not only to hold their own as so many do whose wealth comes through Saturn but also to increase the inherited estate. If Saturn is weak or afflicted, however, the life is sure to be passed in poverty.
Saturn in third house:
when well-aspected gives a serious, sober and thoughtful mind, capable of concentration and well able to grapple with the most profound sciences and other serious subjects in life. It gives tact, diplomacy, justice, honest and all the other saturnine virtues of the mind. When Saturn is afflicted in the Third House it indicates trouble with brethren, danger when traveling, delays and disappointments in obtaining an education. It also fills the mind with gloomy forebodings, worry and general despondency.
Saturn in fourth house:
well-aspected, shows gain from inheritance, also success from investments and administration of houses and lands, agriculture or mining property under careful and economical management. The success grows better as life advances. When Saturn is afflicted in the Fourth House it signifies the early death of one of the parents, in harmony and trouble in the home, loss of property and consequent poverty. This position whether well or ill aspected makes the person a recluse in the latter years of life.
Saturn in fifth house:
when well-aspected by the Sun and Jupiter would be good for speculation in the things that are ruled by Saturn: houses, lands and mines. This position and its aspects would also give the person a chance of appointment to public office, especially in matters connected with education. If Saturn is afflicted in the Fifth House it indicates trouble, disappointment and delay in courtship, particularly during the earlier years, or else the affections are centered upon someone who is much older than the person whose horoscope is being judged. It decreases the number of children and indicates probable death of those who are born, also that they will bring a great deal of trouble to the person.
Saturn in sixth house:
well-aspected, gives the person ability to handle employees and workmen in general in a most efficient manner, for though such a person is quiet and subdued he is at the same time firm and serious. He has a way about him which employees respect and which calls for instant obedience to his commands without causing the resentment called forth by a blustering, bellowing Mars. When Saturn is afflicted in the Sixth House it means a great deal of sickness in the life and if in a weak sign like Virgo the person is in danger of becoming a chronic invalid, for one he is in the grip of sickness the recuperative powers are so poor it is almost impossible for him to recover. The nature of the principal illness will depend upon the sign that is on the cusp of the Sixth House or of the Twelfth, but usually with such people many complications set in after this. Also a person with an afflicted Saturn in the Sixth House finds it almost impossible to secure employment and it is evident that such a person has indeed a hard life, being unable to earn a living when able to be about.
Saturn in seventh house:
when well-aspected denotes a marriage partner endowed with the saturnine virtues, chastity and discretion, tact and discrimination, prudence and economy, which will be of great help to the person in building up his fortunes socially as well as financially; and this is a very fortunate position save for the fact that Saturn in the Seventh House, whether well-aspected or afflicted, indicates the early death of the partner. An afflicted Saturn in the Seventh House designates a glum, gloomy, cold and disagreeable companion who is always restraining and obstructing the person. "Don't" is the word most frequently on the tongue. It also gives trouble and loss through litigation and people with this aspect should never go to law or enter into partnerships for they will always be subject to treachery.
Saturn in eighth house:
when well-aspected or placed in either of its own signs, Capricorn or Libra, gains my marriage or inheritance with the ability to properly care for whatever wealth is acquired in that manner. It is also a sign of long life and death from natural causes, but if Saturn is afflicted in the Eighth House or weak by sign, especially in Aries or Cancer, the financial prospects of the person will be decidedly worse after marriage and chronic debility may be expected.
Saturn in ninth house:
gives a deep, serious and thoughtful mind with ability and inclination for the study of law, science and philosophy, physics or metaphysics. It is a splendid position for a president of a corporation or college, a judge or a divine. Such people always make their mark in the world, the scope of being naturally dependent upon the nature of the aspects and the line of endeavor selected by the person. When Saturn is afflicted in the Ninth House he makes a narrow-minded bigot, critical and sarcastic; he also gives liability to trouble and loss through law, danger on voyages and trouble in foreign lands.
Saturn in tenth house:
shows a strong self-reliant and ambitious spirit with the patience and perseverance which make a person destined to rise in life. It is the signature of the self-made man, self-made by all the sterling saturnine ventures, tact, foresight, honesty and systematic application to business. Such people are destined to become captains of industry, presidents of banks or hold other high positions involving great responsibility. When Saturn is afflicted or weak by the sign he nevertheless gives the person who has him in the Tenth House, ability to rise, but when he does rise it is by underhanded trickery and questionable business methods which in the end bring exposure, downfall and dishonor.
Saturn in eleventh house:
when well-aspected gives friends among the aged and wealth who will be of benefit to the person in helping him to realize his hopes, wishes and ambitions; but when Saturn is afflicted here he should beware of seeking friends older than himself, for they will always endeavor to make use of him for personal ends and desert him when he is no longer of use to them.
Saturn in twelfth house:
gives a secluded life in a position or occupation where the person does not come into contact with the general public. When well-aspected it is good for success in an official capacity in public institutions, asylums, hospitals or prisons. When afflicted there is danger of being bed-ridden for many years, imprisoned, or employed in obscure positions.

One of the greatest quotes I ever learned in a class was the Latin phrase "fides quaerens intellectum," which means "faith seeking understanding." The popular motto was originally coined by Saint Anselm, otherwise known as Anselm of Canterbury. He was a Christian philosopher and theologian during the 11th century and the phrase itself came to be known for its many, possibly-loaded meanings.
"Faith for Anselm is more a volitional state than an epistemic state: it is love for God and a drive to act as God wills. In fact, Anselm describes the sort of faith that "merely believes what it ought to believe" as "dead." (Monologian 78) So "faith seeking understanding" means something like "an active love of God seeking a deeper knowledge of God."¹
At this stage in my life, I pursue "an active love of God seeking a deeper knowledge of God." It is uncanny to think that the motto I embraced, of which the definition I did not know, would be the very way I am defining my future today. Currently, I am attending Fuller Theological Seminary to obtain a Masters of Divinity. It is through my love for God and passion for teaching and preaching that I seek a deeper understanding of God.
This blog, first and foremost, is simply meant to glorify Christ. Its secondary purpose then, is to update you–my incredible support who is investing in and interested in what God does with me! This is such an incredible honor. I will be posting updates throughout my travels and schooling. My absolute hope is that your faith would be confirmed, affirmed, built up, strengthened, encouraged, or maybe even convicted like mine through all of these experiences I share and all the truths I learn.
Holy Spirit, I ask that you guide the following words on this entire site to be faithful to your incomprehensible presence. May they be rooted in scripture, and saturated with truth. Lord, have mercy on my iniquities and forgiveness for my transgressions. Despite my youth, may these words contain inherent wisdom, relevant to every generation. Let them not lack the certainties or the mysteries of Your glorious Gospel. In the name of Christ, we shout, Amen.

Michael D McBain's 1979
Michael D McBain from Edinburgh, Scotland, UK owns a 1979 S2 in Red, with a Brown interior.
S2 Year: 1979 Colour: Red Interior: Brown Driving Style: Normal Miles per year: 1000-2000 Owned Since: Aug 2002 Purchase from: Serviced at: @ Home Other Cars: Previous Lotus': None Why an Esprit: Its the only car ive ever wanted since i saw one in the murry motors window in Edinburgh,the value for money these days is unbelievable. Upgrades: Kenwood sterio system,amplifier and sub woofer with a 6 disk auto changer in the glove compartment.All bought for peanuts at the U.S Forces PX in Gieesen Germany.Its all a tight fit but it sounds fantastic.The engine was rebuilt 15k ago but im needing to set the carbs up for it to run sweet.Ive ordered lots of parts from SJ SPORTSCARS LTD online including the gearchange mod part number sj502. Problems: The starter doesnt work sometimes when its hot so ill replace it soon.Appart from that its perfect. Info: The Lotus Esprit is in Scotland and im in Kuwait so i only see it one week a year.Im having it rebuilt while im away,The sterio and electrics are being done proffesionaly by a friend who is an autoelectrician.Next up will be the rebuild of the transmission.Once thats been taken care of ill send it to have the interior done.Im going for the full tan leather hide with red suede inserts on the door pannels and seats.
The paint will be last to be done along with the original speedline wheels in the new year.
My dad and brother in law are looking after it while im away so im expecting them to put plenty of miles on the clock?????
It will be like new when i return to Scotland.
Im a civilian technician for the U.S Forces in Kuwait based at camp doha.I work on the M1 Abrams main battle tanks so its all go and fun down here at the moment.
Havent seen any Lotus down here yet just a bunch of Porches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Vipers.They are about as common as ford escorts are in the uk.If i see one ill let you all know.Later,Have a nice day now!
I bought my Esprit S2 in august 2002 from a guy called Jason peace in Woking. I had just arrived back home to Scotland after contracting for the U.S Forces in Germany and finaly had enough money to clear all my debts and buy my dream car.
I searched everywhere and most Esprits had been sold but for one which was advertised in autotrader.co.uk.It didnt have a picture or much info but i called the number anyway and spoke to Jason.He said it was no show winner but it runs well,OK i said ill be there tomorrow.It was only when i put the phone down i realised i didnt have any way to get there so i got back on the phone to my brother in law to steal his Mitsubishi Shogun and a friends new trailer.SORTED!
I left Edinburgh late at night and arrived in Woking the next day finding it quite quickly so i parked up in an industrial estate nearby for a few hours rest.5pm came and i took a slow walk around to his house and there it was in the driveway under a car cover.I was slightly early so i waited 10 minutes till Jason arrived home from work.
When he got back he took the cover off and all i had to do was keep cool and not slaver to much(not easy) The S2 looked good,it had a few scratches,bit orange peel on the door and the interior was original but missing the roof pannel. We went for a road run and it went well showing no problems.Lots of receipts from Christopher Neil Ltd, Lakeside Engineering, Bell & Colvill and Priory Vauxhall Lotus Centre.So we came to a quick deal and she was mine,I drove away from the house to where my trailer was parked.It was a tight squeeze ,the front spoiler was close but it made it, i secured it down then looked at it for half an hour before heading back to Edinburgh.
On the way back everyone was watching me as i cruised up the motorway in the Shogun pulling the Lotus on the new trailer. The next day i sorted out my insurance and hit the road drawing looks from all,I even pulled up next to a 355 Ferrari at the lights on Lothian road in Edinburgh,everyone crossing was looking at my Esprit and not the Ferrari which made me smile.
Unfortunately i only had 1 week with my car as i had to go to Kuwait for 6 months.Im an Armoured vehicle tec (civilian) contracting for the U.S Forces specialising in main battle tank turrets. While ive been away ive had a few things done.
Work done so far: Replaced K&N air filters, Replaced the exhaust gaskets, had the lights repaired(dodgy wiring) and had an alarm/immobiliser fitted by G.C Auto electrics. Ive also purchased parts from SJ SPORTSCARS: wiper arm, chrome wheel nuts, indicator lamps(front), bumper(front), nose badge, tailgate badges, wheel centre badges,Gear change bushes and a clutch.
I arrived back from Kuwait on march 2nd 2003 to find my brother in law had taken the Esprit to his work to fit the clutch and gear change bushes.Unfortunately on the test drive an oil cooler pipe burst dumping all the oil,the wheels locked cam belt came off valves bent etc etc.oh well at least the gearbox works now!Looks like the oil cooler pipe has been rubbing the chassis for quite a while.Im having all the work done this week but im going back to Kuwait so ill have to wait another 6 months to drive it :-(
While im away i hope to have the following done:
Work to do: Engine re build, Respray, reseal front wind shield, Re furbish wheels and fit a sports exhaust.
Work done by:
G.C. Auto Electrics Brother in law Derek Orr Liberton Newton Garage Edinburgh The Wisp, Edinburgh Tel: 0131 666 2176 Tel:0131 669 6336
Also thanks to: Steve atfor the parts.
Time for an update on my S2
Its 8th april 04 and ive been back in the country for 1 month after spending 1 year in Kuwait & Iraq and 6 months in the Philippines where i got married.
Got home to find my S2 Esprit parked up in the garage looking really rough and sorry for its self. Not many of the jobs that were supposed to be done while i was away had been done, No surprise there! So over the last month ive been really busy.First up i pulled the interior out and completely retrimed all the chocolate brown suede, took some time to get it just right but im pleased with the end result.You can see it in the photo. Next time im home i will send the seats to get new leather (Not going to try that myself).
As for the engine, it was pretty poor, oil in the breather system flying about the place. The top end is rebuilt but think ive got some broken piston rings, that will also have to wait till next time im home, but just for now ive fitted an oil catch tank whick is doing just nicely for the short term.
The electrics had obviously been fitted by the local primary school so i got to work on that too, just need to replace the r/h headlight lift motor to finish off there. I've arranged for the paint respray while im away. It will be done this time as i arranged it myself. OH yeh and i also refurbished all the alloy wheels replaced the valves and front tyres. My fingers are in bits with all the rubbing with wet and dry paper. Im off to Germany again to play with the M1 abrams tanks and M2 Bradley IFVs, But i will be back with hope that the S2 Esprit will be ready to rock?

Google news
At the end of last month on the forum Google Webmaster Central Help discussed an interesting question: how to change the scanning speed for a large number of subdomains at once.
The infrastructure update Google Search Console could temporarily affect the data in the report "Links to your site". About this said the representative of the search John Mueller in response to a question from webmasters.
Website SEO Hero School created for the WIX contest is not bad ranked. For example http://www.seoheroschool.com/ now ranked higher on request "seo hero" than https://seoheronews.com. Most likely due to links from the site wix.com. However, it is worth noting: the Wix sites are ranked very well, as stated by the representative of Google, expert John Mueller:
Google is working on improving the algorithm, which operates block "breaking news" in search results. The company's goal is to promote higher quality news sources, and eliminating the fake news.
Google has updated the documentation on the creation of extended snippets for pages of the articles. It now clearly describes the difference between markup for normal pages and AMP.
Google has fixed a bug in the system which caused the wrong display of the date of publication of content in many search results.
English-speaking users have noticed that Google launched a new design for recipes in the results.
