My favourite winter activity is sitting on the couch with a good book, soft blanket, and soup bubbling away on the stove.
(That sounds so good... I'm going to do it this weekend!)

Thank for for the give away opportunity! My favorite memory is when I was a child, I had a horse and I loved riding year round. So, in the winter, I would put small bells on my horse's bridle and I loved the sound of it as we went along through the snow. I hadn't thought of this in a long time, so thanks for regenerating it for me!
Merry Christmas,

Living in South Carolina, my winter activities tend to be more like biking, and walking on the beach and all the other outdoor things my pale, sun-sensitive self can't do in the summertime. However, as a child in Wisconsin curling up in front of the fire with my knitting was a favorite snowy day activity.

When I was young it was helping my mom bake cookies, and frosting the cut out sugar cookies

My favorite winter activity is sitting in front of the fire with an afghan on my lap knitting or reading and watching the snow fall outside. And we have a LOT of snow usually in my town because of the lake effect. Thanks for sharing the book. Your snowflakes are beautiful! You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Winter is my favorite season here in Minnesota. The colder and snowier the better. My favorite winter activity is to snowshoe in the northern woods right after a fresh snowfall. With the snow clinging to the trees and mounding on the tree stumps, it's like walking right into Narnia. I always expect to see Mr. Tumnus peeking out from behind the pines.

When I was little I remember baking spritz cookies with my mom and my sister and listening to Kenny Rodgers and Dolly Parton sing Christmas duets. I remember thinking they looked like Mr. and Mrs. Clause and wondering if Kenny led a double life. My mom still makes a kitchen full of spritz cookies every year. When I eat them it takes me back.

We'd shovel our snow into one big pile (well, as much as we could) - then dig a tunnel into it for an igloo and also sled down it! Hope we get some snow this winter!

When I was a child we lived in Massachusetts for a few years. A 10 minute walk or so thru the woods behind our house was a cranberry bog which would get flooded in the winter. We used to go ice skating on it every afternoon. The protruding plant parts and irrigation pipes definitely improved our skating skills!

One of my favorite winter memories/activities was snow skiing in the Rockies. My dad and his extended family built a log cabin (with their own hands!) high up in the mountains of Colorado. We would be the first people lined up at the ski lifts, eat our lunches on the ski lifts, ski all day, and then come home to a hot meal and family time at the cabin. At night, there were always a million stars shining brightly and coyotes howling in the distance. Such great memories for me!

I'm SO not a outside winter activity kind of girl... but it seems I'm in good company with many of those who have commented before me! I love a snuggly day with soup simmering and a classic old movie on the TV, and of course my knitting in my lap. Ah, but I do wish my current house had a fireplace!
Thank you for the generous giveaway!

My favorite winter activity is making english toffee. I use my grandmother's recipe and her very old cast iron skillet. I make it every year at the holidays.
- Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 2:03:00 PM EST
hands down, it was the arrival of my great aunt Sister Annunciata!!!
She was a Sister of St. Joseph, and one of the most lively women I ever met. When Sister arrived, it was the signal, cookies were baked, pies were made, and could that woman skate! It was a huge deal to get in the car and go skating on the local pond with her. Quite a novelty as you can well imagine, long flowing black robe and a pair of hockey skates!!!!

My favorite activity is visiting the Christmas tree made of lights at Zilker Park in Austin, TX. The tree is huge and you can walk underneath it. When my kids were younger they would spin around and get themselves silly and dizzy. Now as teenagers they still like to go and spin beneath the tree. I love the traditions that continue especially silly, dizzy, spinning ones.

My favorite activity as a child was playing in the snow or ice skating. Now I am content to be inside baking or knitting. Nothing like a snowstorm to put me in the mood for a chocolate cake with carmel or peanut butter icing!!

My (and my hubby's) favorite memory was when we lived out East and took a daytrip, just the two of us, to Shenandoah National Park. We drove through the mountains, the trees bursting with color and wildlife. When traveling up to one of the higher points, it started snowing! We quickly jumped out of the car and started playing, jumping, laughing, and dancing in the snow. This is one of the most precious moments because it was the last time I could physically jump or run, for soon after, my MS disease progressed. So, the moral of this story: live your life to full, don't wait to make a memory! :) Happy Holidays, everyone!

I live in Texas now so my winter activities could be yard work! We do get cold(ish) weather and when we do, knitting by a fire is high on the list. I made dozens of snowflakes like these as a kid. I love them!

My favorite winter activity is baking and candy making. It's a nice way to warm up the house, and then enjoy the fruits of your labors sitting in front of a fire. We have a gas "wood" stove now, and I sure enjoy the ease of it versus the building and maintaining of a fire with wood or coal. I'd love to win this crochet book and make snowflakes! Thanks for the giveaway.

My favorite winter activity is skiing. I grew up in Maine, but never learned to ski until I turned 40! I get a huge kick from sailing along on top of the snow, even if I still am only comfortable on the easy slopes. I also enjoy the quiet moments going up the mountain on the lift, looking right into the tops of the trees. If it is snowing, all the better!

I almost bought this book, so would love to win it...
My favorite winter activity..is actually a non-activity...I'm a teacher and my favorite winter activity is getting that phone call saying it's a SNOW DAY!!!! The first one is always so fantastic! Then to sit inside all day and do whatever I want and watch the snow fall knowing I don't need to go anywhere...if only I had a fireplace....(and we try not to think of making that day up in the summer! Just enjoy the day!)
- Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 9:14:00 PM EST
Spinning in front of the fire, listening to the gentle whirr of the bobbin punctuated by the crackle and sizzle of the logs. Oh, and a glass of wine never hurts!
Happy holidays to you and yours.

I like to read. During the summer growing season I tend to fall asleep as soon as I sit down after supper so it's real nice to have a bit more time for other things I like to do. This fall I discovered that while I was farming, one of my favorite authors published 3 more books!

As kids, we went sledding until our feet were too cold to handle it any longer ... big kids taking care of small. Now as a non-kid, I like to read and knit ... no more cold toes, thank you very much!

Ice skating. I'm not sure that this is my favorite winter activity, but it's the most exhilarating one to me. Five years ago I went to visit relatives in Hartford over the holidays. We went out and did a number of things with their kids. One day we went ice skating. I haven't skated since I was a kid. It made me feel like a five-year old kid (in a good way). It's playful and fun. When I came home, I bought a pair of skates. There's an outdoor rink in a park near my home. I try to ice skate there when I need an uplifting and fun experience.
Happy holidays to you and your family!
- Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 7:53:00 AM EST
My favorite winter activity, aside from knitting while drinking a cup of hot cocoa, would have to be baking for the holidays. I love to decorate cookies and bake cakes. I still make the same sugar cookie recipe my Mom and I made when I was small. It brings back such wonderful memories.

Favorite winter activity? As I read the comments there were so many memories that came flooding back. Just one? Almost impossible. Skiing with friends, making spritz cookies as a family. Watching the local school asketball games with the rest of the community. Knitting, weaving, wrapping presents. Ok. Here it is. Christmas Eve service with my family.

I grew up in South Dakota where there is snow from October to April - snow so hard it makes a crust and crackles when you walk on it. My favorite winter activity now that I am older is to stay inside with my knitting, a cup of coffee, goodies in the crockpot and watch it snow from my couch.

Love the sledding with the little kids...even if it means we have to blow all the snow into a big pile in the backyard and use the shovels to carve out the 'runs'. Really dislike the spraying water on it to give it a bit more structural integrity...

Walking in the cold woods, and pausing part way to drink hot cocoa from a thermos!
- Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 3:26:00 PM EST
Sledding was definitely my favorite winter activity as a kid, ice skating was also up there, but it was alot more work to shovel off the pond, and my ankles would get tired sooner than I got cold... Now that I'm more mature shall we say? I enjoy an outside walk, star gazing on those clear winter nights, and hunkering down with some knitting by the fire... doesn't get much better than that!
Thanks for the give away and such a great blog!

I love the crochet snowflakes. Years ago, my Mom made me a several to go on my Christmas tree. Each year I hang them and know all the love Mom put into making them. No pattern she just sat down and made them. Hands down my favorite winter activities are when our daughter comes home and we get to bake and shop together, but mostly have the time to catch up in person!

My favorite outdoor activity was sledding with my friends and family and then coming inside for hot cocoa with lots of marshmallows. I also loved this with my children when they were younger. Now I take my beagle out and he is so funny in the snow. The hot cocoa is still a favorite activity, whether I go outside or not.
Just an FYI: I live in CT about 15 miles from Sandy Hook. The CT PTA is collecting snowflakes to hang in the Chalk Hill Elementary School in Monroe, CT where the teachers and students of Sandy Hook Elementary will return to class after the holiday break. I think crocheted snowflakes would be a great addition.

Hi Kristin, my most favorite memory is when my mom used to take my 2 brothers and me into downtown Buffalo, NY to see the wonderful decorated windows of the department stores. Then we would have lunch at a tea room. A very special treat. And of course we always decorated a tree and I still still do 70 years later. Many happy times. firstname.lastname@example.com
- Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 7:23:00 PM EST
Wow, thank you for bringing up these memories. Although this is the second Christmas without my Mom, I miss her more this year.
As a child my bothers and sister and I would make snowmen and angels in the snow. Being the third child, my snow suit was well worn, my hand knit mittens miss-matched and my boots had seen lots of wear. To keep my feet warm I wore 1 sock, next covered my foot with a bread loaf bag, followed my another sock.
As we got older my Mom would take us to NYC to see the window displays and the tree in Rockefeller Plaza. We would travel the Long Island Rail Road and use the subway system- my Mom would have us travel in the first card so we could see what the conductor saw. We would visit Grand Central Station and she would share stories of her Dad, my Grandfather, as he was a "rail man". My Mom's reward to herself was a cup of coffee at a Chock Full Of Coffee shop. My Mom would knit on the train, with her metal needles- the sound of which still relaxes me. And of course we were all dressed up on our trip to the city.
Thank you...Merry Christmas! Rav ID Johalley

Snow is magical and I have many magical moments associated with snow. One was a winter camping trip where we snow shoed to a unheated cabin. It was beautiful but cold. Snowshoeing on a beautiful frozen river was a unique experience. We split fire wood by the light of a full moon for the wood but also to get warm by the work. Then there was the challenge of cooking in a fireplace. We were shocked to find out when we got home that the night time temperatures had been -25 and -20. No wonder we were cold even with winter down sleeping bags. Thank goodness for wooly hats, socks, sweaters, and mittens! email@example.com

My favorite memory from my childhood is when we all would get our wooden sleds out and go to a big hill near our home and go sleding down it.
Then we all would come in and get warmed up by the fireplace and mom would make us some hot chocolate and some kind of cookies that she'd have baked up.

Nursultan Nazarbayev's authoritarian government cracked down on critical news coverage with a flurry of early-year legislation and newsroom raids that came just weeks after deadly clashes between police and striking oil workers in the western city of Zhanaozen. In January, in the wake of the December 2011 labor unrest, Nazarbayev's government enacted legislation barring distribution of print or electronic news that the authorities deem a threat to national security. The authorities also imposed new regulations that require Internet café managers to block access to blacklisted websites and proxy servers, monitor client activity, and share client information with government security services. A third measure requires international broadcasters airing programming in Kazakhstan to register with the state. The government also deployed KNB security agents to harass news media that covered the violent crackdown against the strikers, which left 16 civilians dead. Agents raided the independent broadcaster Stan TV, demanded its recorded material concerning Zhanaozen, and interrogated its 15 journalists about the clashes. The KNB also detained editor Igor Vinyavsky for several weeks and intimidated his family and colleagues when they denounced the arrest. In November, just weeks after Kazakhstan was elected to the U.N. Human Rights Council, authorities asked the courts to shut dozens of critical news outlets on extremism and mass disorder charges in connection to their reporting on Zhanaozen clashes. Unknown assailants shot and stabbed Lukpan Akhmedyarov, an award-winning journalist who had criticized official actions in Zhanaozen. He was among five critical news reporters who were brutally attacked in separate assaults during the year. All of the attacks remained unsolved in late year.
In January, the authorities arrested Igor Vinyavsky on anti-state charges based on allegations that he distributed a leaflet calling for Nazarbayev's ouster. Colleagues said the charges were motivated instead by his critical coverage of the Zhanaozen clashes
January 23:
|KNB agents detain Vinyavsky, raiding his apartment and newspaper, the daily Vzglyad.
January 26:
|A district court in Almaty approves the pretrial detention.
February 2:
|KNB agents raid the newspaper Golos Respubliki and interrogate editor Oksana Makushina after she condemns Vinyavsky's imprisonment.
February 16:
|CPJ calls on Nazarbayev to release Vinyavsky.
March 15:
|The authorities release Vinyavsky and grant him amnesty.
Reporter Lukpan Akhmedyarov was among five journalists targeted in severe assaults during the year. Akhmedyarov underwent emergency surgery in April after unidentified assailants in the western city of Uralsk shot and stabbed him multiple times. Akhmedyarov, a journalist for the independent newspaper Uralskaya Nedelya, had criticized the regional government's actions in Zhanaozen. Regional police detained four suspects in the assault but soon released them, citing insufficient evidence.
February 25:
|Independent journalist Zharkynbek Seytinbet is hospitalized with a lacerated skull and a concussion after unidentified assailants beat him with a metal rod outside his home in Shymkent, the local press freedom group Adil Soz reported.
March 7:
|Geniy Tulegenov, editor of Sportinfo, suffers a concussion after an unidentified man storms into his newsroom and punches him in the face, Adil Soz reported.
August 8:
|Independent reporter Ularbek Baitailaq is hospitalized for several weeks after four unidentified assailants beat him in an Astana suburb.
August 13:
|Three unidentified assailants try to strangle prominent sports journalist Maksim Kartashov outside his Astana apartment.
In July, a regional court in western Kazakhstan ordered Akhmedyarov and his paper, Uralskaya Nedelya, to pay damages of 5 million tenge (about US$33,300) to Tlekkabyl Imashev, a regional government official. The ruling stemmed from an article that attributed the official's rise in the government ranks to his family connections, local press reports said. Kazakh officials have a record of filing defamation complaints as a way to silence critical journalists.
The national security law signed by Nazarbayev in January bars distribution of news deemed a threat, but it does not explain the criteria to be used in determining a threat. The measure also allows state officials to order telecommunication companies and broadcasters to halt their activities when the government declares it is engaging in an anti-terrorist operation.

I put some non-custardy air in my tires prior to leaving and that made a tremendous difference in the quality of my ride on these new tires. I was a bit trepidatious before the ride since this was my first ride on wet roads with the new tires, but they seemed to do all right and I managed to not fall over or skid or come close especially close to falling over but maybe I can attribute this to my handlebar mounted gyroscope and my years of acrobatic training.
Would you date someone without fenders on his bike? Would you marry him? Is this why couples ride side-by-side? To avoid the road spray and the relationship questions that arc up with it?
I see a lot of drivers who half-park. You know, like they could get into the parking spot the whole way, but since they're idling, maybe to pick up a passenger, they choose not to and instead take up a parking spot and block the bike lane. Just park. It's ok.
Another taxi u-turning in front of me across the Pennsylvania Avenue cycletrack. I ride this route twice a day for a total of maybe 15 minutes in aggregate between morning and evening commutes and I think I average about one illegal u-turn every three commutes. Am I just happening to witness an anomaly (traveling at the times when drivers are most likely to make u-turns) or are my observations a representative sample of how frequently this is happening? Though I suppose it doesn't matter if you wind up on the hood of an anomaly or under the wheels or a representative sample. Here's a letter from our good friends at the Commission of Fine Arts to Jim Sebastian of DDOT concerning the Pennsylvania Avenue bike lanes prior to their installation (emphasis mine):
26 March 2010Dear Mr. Sebastian:In its meeting of 18 March, the Commission of Fine Arts reviewed the concept design for bicycle lanes on Pennsylvania Avenue between 3rd and 15th Streets, NW. The Commission approved the proposed design without colored pavement on the bicycle lanes or median, noting the importance of the avenue's design character as a prominent visual symbol of the nation. The Commission also recommended against the installation of reflective plastic stanchions, commenting that these would be intrusive and incompatible elements in this iconic streetscape.
The Commission delegated the review and approval of the final design to the staff which, as always, is available to assist you with the next submission.Sincerely,/s/Thomas E. Luebke, AIA
So, just remember that if a driver ever injures you making a u-turn because there are no protective bollards to prevent them, at least an iconic streetscape has been kept free from intrusion and incompatibility. Your unwavering commitment to aesthetics is vastly more important than the trifling pecuniary matter of your hospital bills or replacing a broken bicycle.
Further along Penn, I looked over and saw a guy riding next to me. Um, ok. I decided to pedal faster since I wasn't really looking for a bike buddy. Maybe some other day.
I think the place I'd be most likely to be collided into by another bicyclist in on 15th between Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The pavement there is especially bad in the southbound side of the cycle track and there seems to be more than usual amount of rush from bicyclists when the light to cross Rhode Island turns green. I'd rather not be the victim of someone trying to race past another cyclist and focusing so much on that endeavor that they fail to notice me toddling along in the opposite direction. I'd also rather not be the victim of an expensive, nuanced and elaborate art heist and this is why I don't purchase expensive art. That and having no money and no taste in fine art. My idea of good art is dogs riding their bikes in a protected bike lane along Pennsylvania Avenue.
Someone explain me this. Why leave the bike lane to wait at the corner when you can just wait in the bike lane? They got back in the bike lane on the other side of the intersection. I also think that the first guy, the one closer to the black Prius, might be the official videographer for BicycleSpace.
Maybe this is why I'm so pissy about the PennAve u-turns today. Four years.
Ride up Mass was fine. Trees were cleared. Traffic, especially bicycle traffic, seemed lighter than usual. Maybe they'll all be out this afternoon, when it's nicer.

The $20-million Wild Eagle at Dollywood in Tennessee is on track to be the first winged coaster in the U.S. when it opens in March 2012.
> Photos: Wild Eagle winged coaster at Dollywood
With riders sitting on either side of the track in a winged formation, Dollywood's sixth coaster will feature trains themed as bald eagles with outstretched wings.
The Bolliger & Mabillard Wing Rider would be the second coaster of its kind in the world following the 2011 debut of Raptor at Italy's Gardaland. Similar B&M Wing Rider coasters also are scheduled to open next year at Six Flags Great America outside Chicago (X-Flight) and England's Thorpe Park (Swarm).
Starting in the Wilderness Pass area of Dollywood, Wild Eagle will climb to the top of a 210-foot-tall hill offering picturesque views of the Great Smoky Mountains.
After its ascent, Wild Eagle will complete four inversions: a giant loop, a zero-G roll, a twisting Immelmann loop and a flat spin corkscrew. Traveling at 60 mph over a 3,100-foot-long track, the ride will conclude with a camelback hill and a banked figure-eight spiral. The ride will last 2-1/2 minutes.

Physician Assistant Dan Moore at McLaren Greater Lansing Internal Medicine in Lansing is treating poison ivy this week.
Symptoms include:
–Itchy, red, raised rash that appears in lines or streaks
–Blisters that break open and ooze clear fluid
–Localized swelling
–Feeling of warmth at the exposed area
Most poison ivy cases can be treated at home.
It's a common misconception that poison ivy is contagious. The rash itself isn't contagious, but the spreading of the plant oil is. That's why it's important to wash the irritant off the skin as soon as possible with soap and hot water. Clothes should also be washed.
Take an oral antihistamine and apply topical hydrocortisone cream and calamine lotion. Cool compresses can help, too.
See a doctor if there's swelling around the face, mouth, neck or eyes. You should also see a doctor if the rash is infected, or appears all over your body.
Moore is also seeing patients with allergies.
Symptoms include:
–Runny nose
–Watery eyes
–Itchy eyes and nose
–Dark circles under the eyes
Avoid allergens by staying indoors on dry, windy days. Use eye drops and cool compresses, and take antihistamines.
If you have asthma, stick to your prescribed treatment regimen.
Allergies can lead to sinus infections.

Generally, I'm a pacifist. But this Department of Defense image of F/A-18 Super Hornets flying over Afghanistan (lit by some sort of flare?), makes mechanized war look as romantic as any chick flick. Meanwhile, this refueling shot is pure sci-fi:
It's like Top Gun reshot by JJ Abrams.
To ride in such a vehicle would be well-worth the inevitable vomiting. Until then, I'll have to settle for my 10 seconds on a jetpack.

Swix Sport
In 1949 Swix expanded by developing a line of glide wax for alpine skiing, and eventually in 1987 introduced a revolutionary wax for all disciplines called Cera F that certainly is the most successful single racing wax in ski history. As waxes continued their growth and development, Swix also bought the Norwegian Liljedahl Ski Pole factory in 1974 that was the largest manufacturer of cross-country poles in the world. Today, Swix is making approximately one million poles a year for alpine, cross-country, and exercise walking. In 1989 Swix added the Norheim outdoor and ski-clothing factory. Today the Swix apparel line also includes sport-underwear, gloves, hats, and bags.
Swix is now owned by Ferd AS of Norway and most wax manufacturing is done in Lillehammer.
Swix - a name you can trust.

Read our Patient Reviews here:
The Whiteley Clinic are private medical facilities specialising in the treatment and research of varicose veins and other venous conditions, like thread veins, leg ulcers and phlebitis.
Our own continued research, audited results, inventions and new technologies used in varicose veins treatment have led to the development of The Whiteley Protocol®, a standard of excellence for the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins.
We introduced the minimally invasive, or 'pin-hole', surgery techniques to the UK by performing the first such procedure in March 1999.
We invented TRLOP technique for closing perforating veins in 2001 and have been the leading clinic in diagnosing and treating pelvic and vulval varicose veins.
We have continued to stay at the forefront of this revolution and have both a national and international reputation for our work and innovation. We have now performed over 20,000 minimally invasive or 'Keyhole' procedures using EVLA (Laser), Radiofrequency (RFiTT®), Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (USGF), Transluminal Occlusion of Perforating veins (TRLOP) and Ambulatory Phlebectomy.
We also treat spider veins with Microsclerotherapy.
The basic aim of varicose veins treatment is to remove the underlying cause of the varicose veins as well as the visible varicose veins. This not only gives the best possible result in the short term, but also the lowest possible chance of recurrence in the long term.
In order to do this, we use a co-ordinated system with the best possible understanding of what the problem is and then tailor the treatment individually to that patient. It's this approach that we have been following since 1999 that has made The Whiteley Clinic unique.
By using our protocol, we can work out exactly what pattern of problem each individual patient has and make sure each patient gets the very best treatment tailored for themselves. Because we offer tailored treatment plans and don't just assume that every patient has one of a very limited number of simple conditions, we are unable to give exact prices until we have performed the extended venous duplex ultrasound scan performed by our specialist scientists.
Patients benefit by getting a fully bespoke treatment plan tailored to their individual needs, using the very latest techniques. This leads to not only our high patient satisfaction but also excellent results with the lowest chance of recurrence.
Doctors, nurses, and other health professionals can benefit by having their patients treated optimally, by using our advice line or by arranging teaching by one of our experts.
Medical companies can benefit by using our services for studies ranging from in vitro scientific studies through developmental work to clinical studies.
Students or junior doctors who wish to get involved in research can benefit from one of the research activities provided by The Whiteley Clinic. We support research fellows who wish to get involved in our cutting edge research, as well as sponsoring and supervising Ph.D. students through the University of Surrey on specific projects of interest to The Whiteley Clinic.
Only a venous duplex ultrasound scan can accurately diagnose varicose veins and "hidden varicose veins".
Feel free to bring your own scan. Our expert sonographers always conduct a fresh scan so we have the latest information to treat you.
Yes, we treat many clients who have had ineffective treatments elsewhere.

Struggling to find the best buy-to-let mortgage in Yate? speak to one of our buy to let mortgage advisers today
The term 'buy to let' generally refers to either the practice of buying a property to be let for profit or to the type of mortgages used to purchase a property for such letting. Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
Buy To Let Deal of The Week
Many countries, both in the western world and in the developing nations, have seen a surge in the growth of the buy to let property market in Yate the last 2 decades and this has fuelled a growth in amateur landlords looking for quality mortgage advice, this is why mortgage brokers in Yate who specialise in Buy-to-let are so important and the but to let mortgage providers who are keen to encourage and profit from them in turn. In addition, this growth has generated a lot of commerce in other related sectors such as buy to let insurance.
Yate Buy to let mortgages have been available in the UK since the mid-nineties and they are specifically designed for investors to borrow money to purchase property in the private rental sector. The amount that a prospective but to let investor can borrow is generally determined by the rental valuation of the property. The annual income for a rented property has to cover a certain percentage of the mortgage repayments, the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) states that landlords should seek to be able to obtain gross rent returns equivalent to between 130 per cent and 150 per cent of the rental property's mortgage repayments, this takes into account the surplus rent to cover costs of property maintenance and slack periods when the property may be vacant of tenants.
Yate Buy To Let Mortgages.
Some buy to let mortgage lenders in Yate will lend you a maximum sum based on a multiple of your salary (usually a multiple of three) plus a percentage of the forecast rental income on the property. So if your annual salary is said 30,000 Franks and the forecast rental income is 10,000 Franks they will lend you 95,000 Franks. Other mortgages, in addition to factoring in your salary, will include any existing loan commitments you have, and then apply what is known as the 'deduction rule'. This rule relates to the annual mortgage payments worked out at a pre-set level of interest.
Buy to let mortgage interest rates are generally fairly close to residential mortgage rates but will generally be slightly higher and typically charge higher fees. This is due to the fact that buy to let loans are considered by the financial sector to represent a greater risk than residential owner-occupier mortgages, and they generally are.
The Situation in the UK About Buy To Lets
The buy to let market literally 'exploded' in the Yate around the beginning of the millennium with rising property prices and the increasing availability of buy to let funding fueling a surge in would-be investors trying to cash in on the trend of the market. One reason for their popularity is the tax advantages that are available to the UK buy to let investors. Rental income is treated just like a salary by the Inland Revenue, and is therefore often taxed at 22% or even 40%. However, landlords are allowed to deduct costs from the taxable portion of their rental income, and these costs can include the interest of the buy to let mortgage repayments as well as maintenance costs on the property. These tax incentives made the buy to let market very attractive for both professional investors and amateurs looking to make the most out of their savings.
Would-Be Buy-to-let Investors
The market peaked around 2007 and now the market is saturated in many areas across the country with too many properties available to tenants. While buy to let is generally not a good idea for people who do not possess some extra budget there are a lot of remortgage deals which will fund a deposit for a home. If you are worried about losing money during void periods many companies will provide insurance which can deliver as much as six months mortgage payments in the event of a property in Yate remaining unoccupied.
You may still be lucky, and find a hotspot but you need to do your homework and the figures correctly. Buy to let trends differ from town to town and literally from street to street. Good advice for potential investors is to visit the local letting agents who should be able to tell you who is renting what at the moment so you can define your target audience. It could be students, young professionals or families, for example. Look for areas that do have a shortage of properties and for indicators that people will move there, such as new business developments.
Buy to let mortgage deals are still rife and the rates are almost as competitive as with conventional deals. The mantra with your buy-to-let must be 'don't expect to get rich quickly'. You need to look long-term: an absolute minimum of five years – but probably nearer to ten years.
If you're looking at buying an investmentproperty to help supplement your pension in the future should you be looking for a propertyor real estate investing mentor? It's an interesting question and I'llgive you my thoughts right after this Hi I'm Andy from monoperty.
Com and on thischannel I share the lessons I have learned as a property investor and landlord and Ialso interview other investors so we can learn from their advice too so if you're new hereconsider subscribing for more videos like this And so if you're a beginner looking to investwhilst you're in full time employment to help supplement your pension in the future I wouldn'tworry about finding a mentor.
What!?! Hear me out There are people who charge thousands or tensof thousands for mentorship programs.
Now I know if you want to go big having amentor can accelerate your progress and help you avoid the pitfalls but I think that'ssomething to think about once your involved and you've got a taste for it and you enjoyit and you want to take it to the next level.
Also I believe there is added value if youhave some experience before seeking a mentorship because you'll have some knowledge that youcan base your questions on and you won't be spending your money on just learning thebasics which you can get for free online or from books.
Of the 2 million landlords in the UK the majorityof them are what's known as accidental landlords.
It's how I started out.
These people find themselves in a situationwhere they are unable to sell a property for various reasons due to an inheritance, movingjobs, or they let their property because they are living away from home for long periodsof time with their work.
Rather than selling they look to let theirproperty through a managing agent so it's one less thing for them to worry about.
And the majority of people do well from thiswith very little effort, their running costs and overheads are covered each month and astime passes they gain some capital growth.
I know this because as an accidental landlordmyself I've been there.
If you are actively looking to invest, youare going to have a better start than the accidental landlords, who are already doingwell, because you have taken the time to learn.
The accidental landlords are making the bestout of what they already have, whereby you, the active investor, will be seeking a certaintype of property in a specific area that is in demand.
Buying your first buy to let can be done withoutany guidance at all, and you will find that you'll receive some direction from the estateagent, mortgage broker and solicitor during the process anyway.
You already have enough to do on your to dolist; find a deposit, find a mortgage broker, research an area, conduct viewings, crunchthe numbers and find a managing agent ……, so if finding a mentor is on that list, you canscratch it off and have one less thing to do.
Don't over think it and make it more difficultfor yourself.
I did very little research on my first buyto let, I listened to what the estate agent told me, the mortgage lender was happy tolend to me once they had done their valuation and it worked out well.
Now could I have increased my return on investmentif I had known and done more at the time, well of course I could BUT, at least I madea start.
There is a danger of over thinking the processwhich will delay you from buying your first investment property.
Don't spend too much time thinking aboutgetting the biggest returns, property investing is NOT a get rich quick scheme.
It's a long term game, but you have to makea start! Making a start now on a property that producesa positive net cashflow each month, is better than waiting months or years for a propertythat produces a slightly higher net cashflow.
We all know the best way to learn is by doing.
So if you're in a position to buy, get started! Now let me tell you, the fact that you arewatching this video, and if you've seen my Getting Started Playlist which I will linkin the description and throw a card up on the screen just in case you haven't, you willalready be way ahead of other people who are considering investing, and those falling intoinvesting as an accidental landlord, in terms of preparation and finding a good propertythat's in demand on the rental market.
So don't think you need to find yourselfa mentor.
When starting out, spend your money on aninvestment property, NOT a mentor.
You've got this! You can do it! This weeks question comes from Michael Collinson:""Well done with the new look I like it" Thank you very much Michael.
"What video editing software do you use? I've just started using Power Director 14.
Do you use a green screen to get yourselfshowing in front of the background? I use a Mac and the first video editing software thatI used was iMovie the first 25 or so videos I released were edited on iMovie I then decidedto upgrade to Final Cut Pro (or FCPX) Final Cut Pro 10 and I love it it's brilliantthere is so much more you can do with that compared to iMovie and I'm learning allthe time everytime I create a video I try and learn something new try and add somethingso we will see how that goes.
Yes I use a green screen and this is somethingelse I'm learning all the time you have to get the lights right the camera settingsright it can be a pain at times but I wanted to use it because I don't have a plain wallin my house every walls got a picture, a photo, a mirror, or a clock on it and I didn't wantanything in the background that would distract the viewer so that's the main reason forusing green screen but it's also good because I can throw up graphics or other bits of informationwhile I'm still doing the talking head stuff in the hope that it will just add to the videoexperience so yep that's why.
I buy all my equipment on Amazon because Ifind their prices are very competitive and their Prime service for next day deliveryis fantastic.
I have upgraded some kit over time I'vegot a new camera stand a new green screen some other bits and pieces and I'll linkto everything I've purchased and would recommend down in the description so that you can checkit out for yourself.
Thanks for your question Michael and keepup the great work on your channel I'll link to it down in the description so that otherpeople can visit it and if you have a question that you would like me to answer you can askme in the comment section below or send me a message on my social media platforms orthrough my blog.
Please like and share this video if you foundit useful and if it's your first time here definitely subscribe so you won't miss anyof my future videos which will all be geared towards helping you start or improve yourproperty business.

What Is The Best Way To Work Out Rental Demand and Supply?
It's Rob from Property Investments UK.
In today's video we're going to be looking at what is professional buy to let and howit maybe could be suitable for yourselves or what to kind of consider and how to tryto find those great professional buy to let property deals.
So professional buy to letis quite simple in terms of, I suppose, the methodology or the type of deals it is.
Sobuy to let effectively, is buying a property to let out or to rent out.
The professionalaspect doesn't mean in terms of how professional or professional you are in terms of lettingit.
It's more referring to the tenant type of profile, so there's lots of different tenantprofiles within property of residential and commercial.
Specifically within residential property you could consider investing your money into aproperty deal that then rents out to maybe a student tenant or to what's classed as housingbenefits or local housing allowance tenants, social housing, also professional tenants,which is what the kind of professional buy to let property deals are that we look atwithin our property investments website.
Now when it comes to professional buy to lets,what we do mean with that is somebody that's really earning an income, a wage, and thatjob is effectively going to pay for their rent in that property.
There's a whole rangein terms of scale, so it could be somebody that's on an income of 10, 15, 20,000 a yearor somebody that's on an income of 50,000 plus a year.
It's just a category.
Professionalbuy to let just refers effectivity to somebody that's currently earning their way with anincome and that's what they're going to be using to pay for their rent.
Now on our website we have a number of different property deals, a number of different categories,everything from HMOs through to service accommodations.
Specifically though, with professional buyto lets, I'll pop below this videos some links and some details on what available propertydeals we currently have.
Now, typically on our website we only usually show one videoor, sorry, one property per category, but we do have many other opportunities available.
So if that particular property, is it maybe in the wrong area or you want to look at somethingslightly different, but you like the idea of a professional buy to let, simply sendus a message.
Give me a call and we can run through the different opportunities that wecurrently have that fit that particular type of category or strategy.
So hopefully that helps.
Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
We just wanted to give youa bit of an idea of what professional buy to let property and what a ready to go kindof deal might look like.
And I put all of those kind of listings, those available dealsbelow this video with some links for you.
Any questions don't hesitate to ask and Ilook forward to catching up with you on the next video.
All the best.

- 1 Introduction
- 2 Enabling necessary locales
- 3 Setting system wide locale
- 4 Setting per user locale
- 5 Setting language
- 6 Troubleshooting
Locales are used in Linux to define which language the user uses. As the locales define the charset which the user uses as well, setting up the correct locale is especially important if the language contains non-ASCII characters.
Locales are defined as following:
In this howto we're setting up a system that uses the en_US.UTF-8 locale, but you can follow this article easily if you want to setup another locale.
Enabling necessary locales
First you have to enable the locales you want being supported by your system. To enable or disable them, the file /etc/locale.gen is used. It contains every locale you can enable, and you have just to uncomment lines you want to do so.
As we want to setup an english UTF-8 conform system, we want to enable en_US.UTF-8. But for compatibility to programs that don't support UTF-8 yet, it's recommended to support any other locale, prefixed with en_US as well. Having this in mind, we enable this set of locales:
en_US.UTF8 UTF-8 en_US ISO-8859-1
After you've enabled the necessary locales, you have to run locale-gen as root to update them:
# locale-gen Generating locales... en_US.UTF-8... done en_US.ISO-8859-1... done Generation complete.
Note: Though it's most likely just one language you use on your computer it can be helpful or even necessary to enable other locales as well. For example if you're running a multi-user system with users that don't speak en_US, they won't be happy until their individual locale is at least supported by your system.
Setting system wide locale
To define which locale should be used by the system, you can easily add your locale to your /etc/rc.conf file. As we've just added ISO-8859 support just for (backward-)compability, we add en_US.utf-8 here:
The system wide locale will be updated after rebooting your computer.
Setting per user locale
As we discussed earlier, some users might want to define a different locale than the system ones. In this case, you can export LC_ALL in your ~/.bashrc. For example you can use the en_US.iso8859 locale, though there is not advance of using it.
export LC_ALL=en_US.iso8859
Your locales will be updated as soon as you re-source your ~/.bashrc. This happens on login or alternatively you can type:
$ source ~/.bashrc
Setting language
The language in which the system interacts with the user is also determined by the locales, namely the locale LC_LANG. To set the preferred language, you have to export the LC_LANG variable in your ~/.bashrc.
export LC_LANG=en_EN.utf8
After sourcing your ~/.bashrc, programs ought to use the defined language, at least they do if they're using proper internationalization.
How can I obtain the available locale names?
You can get the correct names of all available locales with this command:
$ locale -a
How can I see which locale I am using?
Which locale is currently in use is viewable simply by typing:
$ locale
My terminal doesn't support UTF-8 characters
Unfortunately some terminals don't support UTF-8. In this case, you have to use different terminal.
List of terminals that support UTF-8:
- gnome-terminal
- gnustep-terminal
- mlterm
- urxvt (rxvt-unicode)
- xfce-terminal
- xterm
Note: This list may be incomplete.
xterm doesn't support UTF-8 characters for me
xterm only supports UTF-8 if you run it as uxterm or xterm -u8.

Uganda's Secretive Oil Deals
I believe that it is about time that parliament, forced the hand of government – in particular the president – to reveal who the main shareholders of Tullow Oil and Heritage Oil are
[Global News: Africa]
Global oil politics, whether in the Middle East, South America, or in Africa, have taken center stage during this environment of world economic malaise.
It's important to monitor how governments handle information about new oil discoveries –and the subsequent allocation of proceeds once the oil is commercially exploited.
In Uganda, the country's president, Yoweri Museveni, said in a recent press statement: "Uganda has a good deal, which could earn it up to 70 per cent of the proceeds. The government has however refused to disclose the production sharing agreements that it has signed with the oil companies, saying there are confidentiality clauses barring parties from disclosing it."
I've gone over the last sentence in this statement repeatedly and I'm still perturbed by it. Why? If a head of state, who has always beaten the drums of African Liberation and fighting against Neo-colonialism starts to proclaim all these commercial legalese; it means he is suddenly on the side of big-business, multi-national corporations, the very neo-colonial vehicle he has always trumpeted a cause against.
More worrying still, I believe that with-holding such information from the masses, the nation, the citizens of the country is not just illegal but unconstitutional. My apologies if I am wrong; but on a quick browse through the Ugandan Constitution, I happened upon an Article [41] that alludes to citizens rights of access to information:
41. Right of access to information. (1) Every citizen has a right of access to information in the possession of the State or any other organ or agency of the State except where the release of the information is likely to prejudice the security or sovereignty of the State or interfere with the right to the privacy of any other person.
(2) Parliament shall make laws prescribing the classes of information referred to in clause (1) of this article and the procedure for obtaining access to that information.
There is an element of company law that deems that a company is, by definition, a "person" but this is a bona fide case of national assets under public ownership. What will happen tomorrow if "we" residents of Amuru suddenly discover that our own, private lands are awash with these recently discovered minerals such as gold and diamonds? Shall we then be permitted to claim confidentiality in relation to its exploitation?
Government's [Museveni's] claim that the information is subject to a confidentiality clause is a non-starter and I believe that in the eye of a court of law, that is unconstitutional.
The other worrying point is this; oil is a natural resource, which, in other words is a mineral resource. The constitution is clear on the issue of minerals, its exploitation and more worryingly, the rights of land owners (see below). This leads us to believe that 'investors' clambering to lease land for sugarcane, bio-fuel production etc.' have been a front for land acquisition with a hidden agenda:
244. Minerals. (1) Subject to clause (2) of this article, Parliament shall make laws regulating—
(a) the exploitation of minerals;
(b) the sharing of royalties arising from mineral exploitation;
(c) the conditions for payment of indemnities arising out of exploitation of minerals; and
(d) the conditions regarding the restoration of derelict lands.
(2) Minerals and mineral ores shall be exploited taking into account the interests of the individual land owners, local governments and the Government.
(3) For the purpose of this article, "mineral" does not include clay, murram, sand or any stone commonly used for building or similar purposes.
I believe that it is about time that parliament, forced the hand of government – in particular the president – to reveal who the main shareholders of Tullow Oil and Heritage Oil are; what their agreement with the GOU covers and what the terms and conditions of exploitation of oil in Northern and Western Uganda are.
How can a national asset be subject to secretive dealings? That means that a whole nation could be leased off (if it hasn't already been done) simply with a veiled pledge that it is in the citizens' national interest but the details cannot be revealed because it is subject to a confidentiality clause. Whose benefit is the clause? It should be the citizens' benefit and in that case, it should not be a matter of secrecy then should it?
Ugandan members of parliament, particularly lesgislators from Amuru, and the Acholi Parliamentary Group (APG) –Amuru is in Acholi region—should take note and act on this issue as a matter of urgency.

Scholastic Says 'Hola' to El Chavo
Scholastic has licensed El Chavo, a property with multigenerational appeal, from Univision Communications. In August, it will release two 8x8 storybooks tied to El Chavo – which began in Mexico as a live-action series that's still on the air and now has an animated spin-off – followed by a 32-page 6x9 reader in September. More titles for children ages 4–7, including activity formats, are in development for future seasons.
"I've been looking at El Chavo for a while, since about 2006," said Debra Dorfman, Scholastic's v-p and publisher. "I knew the adult live-action show had a huge widespread appeal, and that even kids were watching it. Now, with the animation really taking off, the time is right." El Chavo has been on the air in Mexico and other countries for more than 25 years; the animation had a short run on Univision in 2008-2009 and relaunched in January 2013. Master licensee Jakks Pacific launched its toy line in fall 2013.
All the books will be bilingual. Not only do today's U.S.-born Hispanics tend to be bilingual, Dorfman explained, but the inclusion of the two languages will allow older and younger generations to enjoy the books together. "I think parents and grandparents will be eager to buy the books," she said. "Even those who struggle with English will be able to have a great time reading with their kids."
The license may open up new doors for Scholastic in terms of distribution, such as Hispanic grocery chains. "Bookstores have embraced El Chavo, but we think we'll be in a lot of nontraditional retailers, too," Dorfman said. "We'll be making a concerted effort, with Univision and Jakks, to reach some of these places where we don't usually sell."
Dorfman thinks there might be some spillover appeal for El Chavo in the general market, noting that many children learn Spanish as a second language, that the humor is attractive to a broad audience, and that teachers and schools will support the books. Still, the sweet spot is Hispanic kids. "We publish so many of our other licensed titles in Spanish, so I've definitely been looking for something like this," says Dorfman.
May the Course Be with You
Workman and Disney's Lucas division are expanding their partnership to launch a new series of Star Wars educational workbooks tied to a pre-K through second grade curriculum. There will be 12 titles to start, and each will integrate the characters, alien species, spacecrafts, and environments of Star Wars into subjects including numbers, ABCs, phonics, reading and reading readiness, math, and writing. All material is aligned to the new Common Core State Standards.
When Workman approached Lucas with the idea, it seemed like a good fit, according to the latter's director of publishing, Carol Roeder. She noted that Workman has the right expertise because of its Brain Quest workbooks (whose advisory board will vet the Star Wars titles), as well as an understanding of the brand, thanks to previous collaborations including Star Wars Fandex, Star Wars Scanimation, and Star Wars Origami.
"Timing is everything and the time feels right, now, given the new national core curriculum standards and increasing pressures parents are feeling about standardized testing," Roeder said. "Using the Star Wars universe of characters as a potential teaching tool seems like a win for everyone. If ever there was a way to entice reluctant readers, this is it."
Marketing support for the series will include cross-promotion with StarWars.com, Star Wars Reads Day, Comic-Con, and Disney Park events, as well as in-school posters and 48-copy retail floor displays.
Tillman Tells Licensees: 'You Are Loved'
Author-illustrator Nancy Tillman has retained a new licensing agent, JLK Brand, to launch a licensing effort under the You Are Loved umbrella. The program will focus initially on nursery and baby care products featuring artwork and messaging from Tillman's books, for parents, grandparents, and caregivers. The program will encompass titles including On the Night You Were Born; It's Time to Sleep, My Love; Wherever You Are My Love Will Find You; and I'd Know You Anywhere My Love, all published by Macmillan's Feiwel and Friends imprint, as well as illustrations from Archbishop Desmond Tutu's Let There Be Light, published by Zondervan.
"The art is beautiful, but it's really the message that is so eloquent and appealing," said Kathie Fording, licensing consultant with JLK Brand. "It's an inspirational message that is welcome right now. This is kind of a dark time, with vampires, zombies, Breaking Bad. I think there's a market for something inspirational, warm, beautiful, and loving."
Bookstores are likely to carry some of the products. "I could see the brand living in Barnes & Noble just as well as Hallmark or Costco," Fording said. "We want to take advantage of where Nancy is known and loved, and that is bookstores." Tillman's picture books have sold seven million copies to date.
Hallmark produced a recordable storybook and an ornament late last year, and a number of other products are in development. Ultimately, Fording sees potential for children's merchandise as well. "This is definitely more of a lifestyle program and not a classic preschool program," she said. "But I do think that kids really respond to the 'You Are Loved' messaging."
DK Enters the Ring with WWE
DK Publishing and its Brady Games imprint will publish up to 18 books tied to the wrestling entertainment franchise WWE over the next three years, under a new licensing deal between the two companies. Previous WWE titles from Brady have included two editions of the WWE Encyclopedia and A Most MIZerable Christmas, an anti-bullying book by wrestler Mick Foley.
Titles under the new agreement will include two commemorative books, WWE 50: Celebrating 50 Years of Sports Entertainment, coming out this March, and 30 Years of WrestleMania. It also will encompass children's books about WWE wrestlers including John Cena and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, sticker books, autobiographies, and historical guides. The agreement includes digital and various subsidiary rights.
WWE family-friendly programming reaches 15 million viewers in the U.S. each week, according to Nielsen, and the organization's Web site hosts an average of 12.4 million unique visitors monthly, according to Omniture.
Kappa Plays Paper Dolls with Mooshka
Kappa Books has added another girls' license to its portfolio, which already includes Lalaloopsy, Lisa Frank, and Hello Kitty. It is currently shipping coloring and activity titles tied to Mooshka, a doll line from toy company MGA Entertainment. "This is basically going back to core doll play," explained Andrew Steinberg, president of Kappa's Modern Publishing division. "The toys are simple, beautiful, and soft, and kids really react to them."
Steinberg noted that Mooshka can be seen as an alternative to edgier fare in the marketplace. "There's something really refreshing about it," he said. "It's just good, basic doll play for girls." The company is publishing some new formats in the doll cutout area that mirror the concept of the toy line, along with a range of coloring and activity titles.
The license extends a longtime relationship between Kappa/Modern and MGA, which owns Lalaloopsy and Bratz, in addition to Mooshka. Modern, which Kappa acquired two years ago, was one of the first licensees on board for Bratz in 2001, for 8x8s, coloring and activity titles, and other formats. "MGA is responsive, they understand the retail environment, and they work with their licensees to get books into that retail environment," Steinberg said. "They're very hands-on, and I like that."

text: HTC's CFO reiterated that their Android phones—previously slated to be released Q4 of this year—will be released Q4 of this year. Android handsets are still planning to be shipped to "ODM clients" in the fourth quarter, meaning that you might not actually see them until late, late 2008 or early 2009. Why? Because those ODM clients, like T-Mobile or various other companies who are using HTC to design the base phone but customize it even more, need time to work their own add-ons in. So yes, on time might not mean on time for you to play with unless HTC releases an Android phone with the HTC branding, without going through secondary companies. [Digitimes via Slashphone]

Spinach Dumplings
"I've been making these green dumplings - 'gnocchi verdi' in Italian - since the 1970's," reports Gail Sykora from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. "They're a great side dish for most any meal."
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 3 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 quarts water
- 3 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1. In a skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add spinach; cook and stir over medium heat until the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in ricotta; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add 3/4 cup of flour, Parmesan cheese and garlic salt. Cool for 5 minutes.
- 2. Stir in eggs; mix well. Place remaining flour in bowl. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls into flour; roll gently to coat and shape each into an oval.
- 3. In a large saucepan, bring water and bouillon to a boil; reduce heat. Add a third of the dumplings at a time, simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean. Remove with a slotted spoon; keep warm. Drizzle with butter; sprinkle with Parmesan.

Blood And Separation Lyrics
Why must I keep everything on the inside?
It leaves me nothing but a paralyzed heart.
I don't know where to begin & I don't if there ever will be an end?
I just wish to break free.. I want to break free.
From long nights of trying to be strong.
Hoping that you'd be dead by dawn.
Blinded by false emotions.
True feelings will they ever show?!
So I close my eyes and finally understand you've been poison all along.
So now I've got to leave you broken in the dust.
'Cause you're nothing that I want, and nothing that I need.
Breathe in these lifeless days.
Hatred is nothing but a memory.
What is it that I feel today?
Isn't it beautiful, I never thought that love would leave these scars..
Just fuck off & die slow...
Why must you try to tempt me?
Would it be more easier for you to see my name carved into stone?
..Never again.

The car is an 88 turbo 5 speed hardtop with lil rust
This is how I got my supra on 12/31/06
I got the car for a great deal I traded my 91 integra for it I know what your thinking honda well I got the car when I was 15 and did a lot of work to it but when i traded it I took out my B20 vtec and gave it to him with a stock motor and I took most of my goodies off of it and sold them.well I'm out of the honda game and for good wouldnt mind an S200 tho.any ways Seeing that I had a good car with almost not rust (some rust in the wheel wells)The frame was strait I got to work
First I started with getting 91 5 spokes off some guy for 120$ with 2 good tires and than from there the front end was a must
I wanted to get a good set of coilovers but with not job and just the money I had saved from the honda parts I got a set of eibach springs and tokico shocks I didnt want to do it but it's better than nothing and I will be DD this car for about a year or more and still needing to learn driving Techniques this should be good enuf for now.
This is the car droped in the rear only with the new front end
and this is how the car stands now droped in the front and after i cleaned up the stock lip
Only other mods I have done is a hks ssq bov and I have removed about 70% of the sound deadening and thats it for now
The car has a paint job is about over a year old being the guy befor me got it off a body shop and than he crashed it.
Types of racing car will be doing:auto cross-even tho it's mosty getting sun burn and having to tell the old guys that mg's are the best car in the world lol but you do get a lot of driver skill out of it and it test you,touge-fun if you do it safey and you have some nice roads,drifting-this is a no brainer it's the most fun,road racing-it's a lot of money for track time but well worth it.This is pretty much what I'm into I do like all type of racing except nascar and I will be doing a lil bit of drag racing.
Plans for the car
motor:plan to do a 1J swap ubt am still thinking of doing a stock rebuild
suspension:tein coil overs or TIP coilovers,still don't know what sway bars I'm going with waiting till the testing from tip to be done,tein tie rod end spacers,would love to find a pair of jic adjustable a arms,all new poly bushings,6pt roll cage,undesided on what strut bars I want.
well thats most me and my cars storie I'll keep you guys posted sorry I don't have much more I could post and I'm sorry if I miss spelled anything I'm a bad speller.O and sorry for the shity pics I need a digi cam

Brian, I think that was my brother's post on SF when he thought the spacers might have had something to do with the power steering problem. But I double checked the car, the rack is still good, we were just leaking from the power steering cooler lines. I had tried something different with the cooler lines and I could never get them to seal, so it was a slow leak and the system never got fully bled. The high pressure line also got a little cut it in from something and we had ATF shooting out of the line right onto the exhaust manifold, so we had all kinds of trouble with the power steering lines on the car.
But I checked and could not trace any of the problems back to the spacer. I would suggest going with my spacers over the Tein 240 ones. The 240 inner tie rods have a 16mm thread and the supras have a 14mm thread, so you will have trouble getting the spacer centered.
But otherwise, the project looks good. And I can take care of anything you need for suspension stuff or a cage. So whenever your ready, we can put something sweet together. I'm really looking forward to seeing more cool supras around here.

Bullpen woes sting White Sox in rubber game
After Quintana exits with lead, relievers allow 15 runs in four innings
CHICAGO -- Jose Quintana had to deal with three errors, three stolen bases, two rain delays totaling 45 minutes, a wet field and a lack of offspeed command that produced 115 pitches over five innings during his Sunday afternoon start against the Twins at U.S. Cellular Field.
None of those challenges could have been nearly as trying as watching the White Sox bullpen in action for the final four innings after Quintana departed.
Quintana exited with the White Sox (54-58) leading, 3-1, and with a chance to even his record for the season. He spoke to the media 15 runs later, and after the Twins had claimed a 16-3 victory.
According to Elias, the 15 runs allowed by the bullpen tied a franchise worst accomplished two other times. It also happened on Aug. 9, 1923, and July 1, 1936.
"A really, really bad game for us," said Quintana, who picked up his Major League-high 37th no-decision since 2012.
"It seemed OK until the sixth," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "After that, it just got loose and you couldn't stop it."
Javy Guerra (1-3) lost the lead in a hurry during a three-run sixth for Minnesota (50-60), after Quintana battled through five, allowing one unearned run, striking out five and walking two. In the sixth, Eduardo Nunez singled home one run, and it was Danny Santana's two-run double that gave the Twins a 4-3 advantage. Santana finished with a career-high five hits, four RBIs and two stolen bases.
That rally became child's play compared to the way this game finished.
The combination of Taylor Thompson, Ronald Belisario and Eric Surkamp yielded nine runs on nine hits in the eighth, with the first eight Twins reaching base and 14 men coming to the plate. Thompson, who walked three and was touched up for three runs, was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte following the loss, with a corresponding move coming prior to Monday's series opener against the Rangers.
Over the three-game series against the American League Central's last-place team, the White Sox bullpen allowed 22 earned runs on 29 hits in nine innings. The 'pen has given up 28 earned runs over the last 20 innings covering seven games, while Belisario posted his sixth appearance this season in which he allowed three earned runs or more -- including seven earned runs over one-third of an inning on Saturday and Sunday.
"They got us," Belisario said. "I don't have anything else to say."
"Well, we scored some runs here today," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Goodness gracious, up to the eighth inning it was a 4-3 ballgame, then the ball starting flying all over the place."
Minnesota had chances for greater earlier output, but Quintana limited the damage.
He hit Kennys Vargas with the bases loaded to force home an unearned run with one out in the first -- brought about by one of Conor Gillaspie's two errors -- but then knocked down a Chris Colabello shot up the middle and started a pitcher-to-catcher-to-first inning-ending double play.
Runners were stranded on second and third in the second when Brian Dozier flew out, and despite putting runners on first and third with nobody out in the fourth and the top of the order on-deck, Quintana held the Twins scoreless. The White Sox erased a 1-0 deficit in the fourth via back-to-back doubles from Gillaspie and Alexei Ramirez. They took the lead two batters later when Dayan Viciedo crushed a first-pitch fastball from Kyle Gibson (10-8) for his 13th home run, which traveled 410 feet.
The White Sox highlights pretty much ended with that swing.
Chris Parmelee, Oswaldo Arcia and Eric Fryer went back-to-back-to-back off Andre Rienzo in the ninth, with Arcia's blast of 452 feet seeming to be a bit short-changed in the official measure. The White Sox will get a fresh arm up from the Minors on Monday, and both Zach Putnam and Matt Lindstrom should return from the disabled list soon, with Putnam throwing a 25-pitch side session Sunday to follow up Friday's bullpen session.
Until Putnam possibly returns on Friday, the White Sox are going to have find relief from many of the pitchers who got knocked around this weekend.
"We're going to have to come back in with these guys and find the confidence and the stuff to be able to do it," Ventura said. "We have to be able to execute. They're the guys in there, so we're going to have to make it work somehow, just make it better."
"First of all, it's never fun to lose, and it's definitely never fun to get your butt kicked," White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers said. "But baseball's a nice game, tomorrow it's a fresh start. I'm not going to think about it after I get done talking to you guys. It's over."
