And here is the airplane ... Hunting H.126. ... With his performance shows the unit load on the wing is about 250 Kg per 1 square meter .... Now, your personal car has an area average 1.8 x 4 = 7.2 m square ... and weighs 1200 KG have any. So on one square meter. ie 1 m square around 166 kg, which is much less than in the plane. which is very likely that should begin with the car have to go over the road, at any speed of 40 km / h ... ... Because aircraft N-126 mimics the speed 51 km / h (32 mph). So that your car properly equipped with such parameters would have glide above the road ... Just what does that say manufacture shock absorbers ... So any, of the principle of conservation of energy?

Peltier I started to deal with in 1993, in a small laboratory scale.In the following years I did in the mid-scale laboratory I made such a demonstration, where the yen element size 50mmm x50mm is placed on an aluminum bracket, on the other hand, covered with a copper plaque, located to the heat from a finger could easily trickle out over the entire surface of the ceramic peltier.
Also done once a thermometer measuring the wireless side of aluminum and copper hand when I touched her finger. It turned out that the temperature difference was only 2 to 3 degrees Celsius, and has to show voltage of tens of millivolts, as a result of the heat of the finger ... Despite the fact that we do not need to produce electricity already heated water, replace it on steam, drive turbines ing or reciprocating engine, then the generator, electricity can receive this very simple method and a minimum temperature difference ..
Well, for example, temperature 2 meters under the ground and air temperature of 30 degrees Celsius .. The outside can be also negatynie 20 degrees Celsius, and the resulting current changes polarity only ... And here again joke .. The greater this negative temperature, the greater the difference in the temperature of 2 meters below the surface (about 7 degrees)and you get more power .. so I dreamed we would have this .. the bigger the frost, we have more energy ..And here the principle of T1-T2 / T1 does not look to the end was a real .... For where, for example, we have in the way of the physical size of the time? because there is a fundamental difference if you have time 0.01 sec or 10000 sec .... a rhetorical question ...

Now you can go back to my engine project new4stroke that you very much approve of ..
[quote]Friction[edit source | editbeta]
An engine has many moving parts that produce friction. Some of these friction forces remain constant (as long as applied load is constant); some of these friction losses increase as engine speed increases, such as piston side forces and connecting bearing forces (due to increased inertia forces from the oscillating piston). A few friction forces decrease at higher speed, such as the friction force on the cam's lobes used to operate the inlet and outlet valves (the valves' inertia at high speed tends to pull the cam follower away from the cam lobe). Along with friction forces, an operating engine has pumping losses, which is the work required to move air into and out of the cylinders. This pumping loss is minimal at low speed, but increases approximately as the square of the speed, until at rated power an engine is using about 20% of total power production to overcome friction and pumping losses.[/quote]
And now this. My engine new4stroke is the most vital advantage, even though it does not appear on any animation ..
Many people have spoken out about the efficiency of four-stroke engine, was stating with such engine already reached peaks of efficiency possible, and to get it to improve by 2% "The great issue" about three bilion dollars a year on research ..
Because they thought impossible, that you can make a difference when it comes to basic parameter or friction, which presented the current position of Wikipedia.
Meanwhile, my engine, changing the ratio of friction to the size of the intake air through the engine. So, but it's something that everyone seemed so far out that is constant and unchanging.
And here's the joke ... my engine, even though it is built on a base the size of a two-cylinder engine, 600 ccm, geometrically speaking, sucks about 950 ccm ... (in fact much greater).
So as if normal engine but with an additional 3 1/6 cylinder .. but the cylinder does not. This increase in the displacement give only two intake valves piston located in the cylinder head. And there may be nothing revolutionary, were it not that these pistons with rods they turn TWO TIMES slower than the basic pistons ... In connection with this, the force of inertia, which is realized as the additional volume (350 ccm) are swept up four times smaller (which I also take into account the Wikipedia)
So in general we can say that this "extra cylinder", if it could be adjoined to the basic operating system of the twice the speed, with the same parameters as the pistons sucking friction should have only 88 cc. So the difference 350 - 88 = 262 ccm, otzymujemy for free, with my engine system ... We can say that in relation to its basic size 600 ccm. Friction has been reduced by as much as 43%. suction against displacement in the traditional way ...
With modesty will not ask where my 43/2 x 3000000000000 = 64 bilon $ .... which do not have the "Great" lecture every year on the 2% increase in efficiency ....
And the real efficiency gain can be easily demonstrated mathematically ...
And of course, what Daniel suggested must take place within the limits of reasonable operation of the engine...
I can understand a lot, even that can be
stunned silence, but not for so many years ...
Also understand that it may be hard to admit to the fact that I thought differently, but I think that should be a hit in the chest and publicly admit to mistakes. Because we all now see that the PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE engine can zoom in on a lot of ...
I think it is a step by step to resolve these problems, but probably need to order, then it will be easier for us to understand next.

Photovoltaic cells, that to me is the free energy. And there must be a difference in temperature. It works even in space ... And what someone theories to fit yourself, it's less interesting and real ... This is the free energy from the point of view of macro ... the bigger picture the sun can therefore not diminished ...
A completely this theory is not correct, if a man's life and his fitness after eating we consider ... particularly growing humans, animals and plants ... with no entropy growth is not got nothing to do .. I think that the totalitarian doctrine that will explain myself ..
Here an example that even with a relatively small temperature difference, we get a lot of electricity directly .. Rights were created 200 years ago ... Learning a little forward by this time gone ...
Well, you do not need at all under the method of formation of electrical energy, go to steam .. and count of efficiency ..

Attitude so short, the question is: Is the box acoustic guitar sound is the amplifier, without additional energy tied outside in to not connected to any electric guitar amplifier? or agree with me that this is the one amplifier? Please send me a short answer yes or no.
About the same answer about whether tuba (all brass instruments) is a sound amplifier die, in which the sound is created? Please answer yes or no is amplified ...
There is, of many different amplifiers without additional energy from the outside world around us ... Well, for example, a YAGI antenna or parabolic. And it strengthens both the transmitting and the receiving of signals ... always a strengthening ... At least to the strengthening of what we are interested in is successfully used .. without additional energy input. ,

Well, now my professional work finally connected with engines or refrigerators :rolleyes:
Straight from Los Alamos....
I think you can use here too Amplifiers Sound, which do not receive ANY energy and strengthen sound. Such are the classic example of brass instruments.
Obvious example of sound reinforcement, without providing OF ANY energy from outside the acoustic guitar. Everyone knows that that plays a lot louder than the electric guitar is not connected to any amplifier ... (Board)
I think what would have happened if the thermoelectric acoustic generator strengthen the amplified acoustic sound that does not drain. Do you already know what I was thinking again? :rolleyes:

Speed ??limit(Vne): 245 (230 with the ballast) km/h
Winch pulls the glider at the height of 1000 m. As one of the manufacturers of these winches such a cycle consumes 0.3 kg of fuel ....
The perfect glider = 47, a half-ton glider at the speed of 95 km / h while flying in a straight line, beat 47 km. or two such cycles, that is, 0.65 kg of fuel, it should run up ... 100 km at a speed of 95 km / h....

Glider, is such that 3 m ^ 2 front surface ...... windmill, which is 3 m ^ 2 has a diameter of about 2 meters .... of such a windmill, at a wind speed of 75 km / h, we get only around 500 watts of power. Now I do imagine that the 500 watt would raise a 500 kG glider at the height of 12 km in the Alps ....
You can see in this example, the energy is much more than that due to the "Law Betz"
Now, we can see that the glider is perfectly shaped, which makes it a true cross-section of recognition, drag, only 10% of the actual resistance of the cross-sectional plane ... or power that diligently received the windmill of the size is just ... about 20 watt .. And this power is expected to be a glider at the height of 12 km?

[quote name='Greg Locock' post='6340426' date='Jul 2 2013, 23:00']The goal there is not efficiency in any shape or form.

Yes, you're right .. Problem is above price comparison of the results obtained, life insurance, ways and means of maintenance, ease of construction and even quite a few factors.

Although it is a microscopic nozzle, but it proves to us its great suitability for the production of electricity. This is not exactly how it should be done for the production of energy from normal wind, but it shows the desirability of using a venturi, due to its unique properties ... ...

Here provides Excell tables to calculate the curves of internal venturi nozzle. The internal venturi nozzle have the advantage that the turbine blades are placed at a maximum radius in the nozzle, which gives a lot more torque. Also the number of blades is much larger, although their height, in this example, 570 mm, not greater than 12 mm .. But it can be done with plywood modeling ..

This new project is something I have been working on for the past few years.
It has one primary objective: to explain to the Canadian public why our existing animal protection law is a failure.
This is no easy task. Our animal cruelty law is complex and at times contradictory.
But understanding why this law fails to protect animals from harm is critical to making a difference in future.
Looking at case examples, legislative action and media reports of animal cruelty, I hope to carefully dissect twelve major "stress" points that cause animal protection law to be ineffective.
If you've ever wondered why so many animal cruelty cases end with such unsatisfying results, this project should interest you.
I hope to update this page with more detail about the project as the research develops. If you are interested in being kept informed about it, send me an email at psankoff at ualberta.ca and I will keep you posted, or bookmark this page and check back in.

Canada-Bound Refugee Boat Carry Terrorists
Posted on August 12th, 2010
Alastair Reynard
It has been known for some time that this is not a ship full of refugees but a ship of escaping terrorists.
Google 'Ship-bound Tamil refugees need help' to read about this bogus refugee ship that's full of terrorists.
A small excerpt: 'Perhaps the media, especially the Toronto Star, probably would have paid much more attention to those genuine refugees if they had money to pay the smugglers to come to Canada, or owned laptops with access to Skype and the Internet, like the bogus Tamil refugees stuck in a boat"¦. It is a shame those poor refugees in Iraq and Afghanistan lack the media support, or the backing of a global criminal network like the LTTE, which had been involved in smuggling Tamils to countries like Canada, with the help of the liberal politicians, and bleeding-heart newspaper columnists ""…"
'Rankin said the CBSA's security argument is based on the explosive residue found by police and allegations by Prof. Rohan Gunaratna, a Singapore-based terrorism expert and author of several books on the Tamil Tigers, that the ship had been part of the rebel weapons smuggling fleet … Canada is "one of the few places in the world where LTTE terrorists and supporters might seek to hide in plain sight, and potentially launch terrorist operations" RCMP Commissioner William Elliott said.
Canada is a haven for the Tamil terrorists. Many hard-code Tamil Tigers operate openly in Canada, raising funds and spreading terror-ideology. These Tamil terrorists have even got Canadian politicians working for them. One example of a Canadian politician who worked to fund the Tamil Tigers in Canada is Canada's former justice minister Alan Rock.
Let's admit it: the liberal politicians in the West including Canada are high recruiting targets for the Tamil Tiger terrorists. The list of such politicians is quite long. The Tamil terrorists living in Canada are lobbying Canada really hard to get these hard-core terrorists admitted into Canada so then can join their terror buddies already operating in Canada.
Keep up the great work on exposing LTTE operations here in North America.
Alastair Reynard
who are gullible and naive to believe fabricated Tamil refugee stories.'

iCenter Review – Legit Business or Huge Scam? Find Out…
Welcome to my iCenter Review!
This is the latest business opportunity to land on my desk so I decided to check it out to see what it was all about…
Some people call it legit while others call it a scam…
So what is the truth?
In this review, I am going to put all the rumors to rest so you can make the right decision.
Just make sure you pay close attention to this review and read it to the end because I reveal EVERYTHING.
iCenter Review – The Company
iCenter has no information on who runs the company or owns it.
I decided to take a look at the iCenter website domain "icenter.co" and found out it was privately registered on July 1st, 2017…
There is no other information out there even on social media…
Anyway, let's take a look at the products next…
iCenter Reviews – The Products
iCenter has no retail products or services, but you can promote the affiliate membership.
You can also invest in cryptocurrencies to get some kind of ROI which I will get into next…
iCenter Compensation Plan
iCenter members can invest in cryptocurrencies so they can make an ROI:
- Invest 0.01 BTC and receive a 1.2% daily ROI for 120 days (120%)
- Invest 0.1 LTC or more and receive a 1.4% daily ROI for 99 days
Apparently this is all done through Telegram bots…
You can also make money by sponsoring new members into the company…
iCenter pays you three levels deep in a unilevel compensation plan structure:
- Level 1 (personally sponsored affiliates) – 10%
- Level 2 – 3%
- Level 3 – 1%
Cost to join iCenter
The cost to join is actually free, but you can only get referral commissions.
If you want to be part of the investment opportunity, you must invest at least 0.01 BTC or 01 LTC.
The moment you have been waiting for in this iCenter review…
Verdict on iCenter
So does the iCenter scam exist?
Well, let's just look at the facts first…
The owner(s) of the company are not transparent about who they are…
I personally wouldn't invest in a company where I don't even know who runs it.
Other companies that were in this Telegram bots were Lara With Me, Business But Incubator, Vtec and Alpha Cash.
None of them exist today because either Telegram shut them down or they went under…
With no real proof of external income coming into the company to make those ROI's, it's safe to say it's just newly invested funds paying off existing members.
They also have a partner list which include iMarketsLive, SureBets, BitClub Network, Global Dynamic Marketing, USI-Tech, Laser Online, FutureNet, BitConnect and Crypto World Evolution.
What really puts the icing on the cake is this:
is not a Ponzi, and if you are looking for a system to make LOADS of money in the short run and have most of your team lose, you are in the wrong place!
Our revenue comes from our partners and anyone can earn money from our partners themselves at their own risk.
Just remember that some of our Partners are HYIP projects and we don't advise anyone to invest directly with them!
So they don't recommend you investing in them, but they invest in them?
How does that make any sense?
Anyway, as it stands I do not recommend iCenter…
I hope you enjoyed my iCenter review and if you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below…

Marketing done for you
When franchisees start their new business the key to bringing in lots of enquiries and growing the business is marketing the business.
Leaflet drops, magazine adverts, Google AdWords, Facebook ads, networking, display sites and the list goes on. Marketing your business is vital and it should be consistent, efficient, targeted and measured.
The most common comments we hear from new franchisees about their marketing are
"I'm so busy I don't have time for my marketing "
"I seem to be spending a lot of time and money on my marketing"
"I know my marketing is important but I'd rather be out and about"
Although we are continually offering training, advice and assistance with the marketing of the business, it is the franchisee that must put in the time, effort and money to market their business and make it grow. Or is it…………………?
We have given these comments careful thought and feel that some franchisees might like professional, structured and consistent marketing done for them over a period of time which they could then continue when their business has become a bit more established.
So, we have created – Booster Marketing & Ultimate Marketing
These 2 marketing packages begin immediately after the initial 3 month marketing launch comes to an end and gives the franchisee an option to have professional, structured and consistent marketing done for them.
The Booster Marketing package runs for 6 months from the finish of the launch campaign and includes professional marketing for PPC for conservatory blinds, PPC for commercial blinds and Facebook adverts for conservatory blinds.
Get the full cost breakdown for the Booster Marketing package >>>>
The Ultimate Marketing package runs for 12 months from the finish of the launch campaign and includes professional marketing for PPC for conservatory blinds, PPC for commercial blinds and PPC for shutters.
Get the full cost breakdown for the Ultimate Marketing package >>>>
The full investment in the Booster Marketing or Ultimate Marketing is spent exclusively on the marketing of the franchsees business and can be paid monthly during the term of the marketing campaign
A Marla Custom blinds Franchise could change your life, and we are constantly looking at how we can help you build a profitable business that could earn you in excess of £60,000 per year.
To get more information about who we are and how we can finally help you start your own business, please visit our Franchise website:

By Shira SchoenbergMay 04, 2015 at 5:15 PM BOSTON - Gov. Charlie Baker signed a law establishing a retirement incentive for state employees, on the same day the Legislature sent the bill to his desk.
"We're very happy with the Legislature's compromise on this, and we're thrilled that they acted expeditiously to get this done," Baker told reporters at the Statehouse. "I appreciate the fact that it was a complicated piece of legislation to begin with, and we're looking forward to moving forward on the act of actually implementing it."
WASHINGTON — Concerned about the rising prevalence and sophistication of identity theft, most private health insurance companies have abandoned the use of Social Security numbers to identify individuals. The federal government even forbids private insurers to use the numbers on insurance cards when they provide medical or drug benefits under contract with Medicare.
By Joshua Miller Globe Staff March 23, 2015In a boost for a key part of Governor Charlie Baker's budget plan, Speaker Robert A. DeLeo Monday backed a pension-sweetening early retirement program that Baker proposed to help close a gnawing state budget gap.
DeLeo said the House of Representatives intends to vote as soon as this week on the plan, which works to entice thousands of state workers to retire early by offering them a chance to boost their pensions by crediting them with up to five additional years of age or work.
The Massachusetts health care industry's traditional system of paying doctors for every office visit, test, and procedure may be nearing its end.
By Joshua Miller Globe Staff March 02, 2015
Facing the prospect of a daunting state budget gap, Governor Charlie Baker will file legislation this week aimed at enticing thousands of state employees to retire early. But if the move does not generate the expected savings, workers will be laid off, a top official said Sunday.
By Beth Healy Globe Staff February 24, 2015Deborah Goldberg settles into a chair by the fireplace in the state treasurer's office, the first woman to take residence there in a dozen years. She has rearranged the furniture, living-room-style, to be more inviting.
The Massachusetts state treasurer could stay busy with the basic responsibilities of managing the state's cash flow and debt. But the holder of the office has a much broader portfolio, overseeing the state school building fund, lottery, alcoholic beverages commission, public pension fund, state retirement board, and other duties. The position demands an executive with high energy and wide-ranging experience. That candidate is Democrat Deb Goldberg.
A Herald editorial cites a recent report by the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation on health insurance coverage for retired public employees ("The retiree dilemma," Sept. 27). Like similar reports filed by the MTF in recent years, this report we believe is flawed and biased toward an ideological position, to cut retiree benefits.
In addition to cherry-picking its data to paint the most dire results, the MTF fails to account for reforms passed in 2009 and 2011. Communities opting into the new laws have collectively saved nearly $250 million in their first year.
September 27, 2014
Boston Herald Editorial
Among those items of unfinished business the Patrick administration — and this sitting of the Legislature — leave behind is any attempt to reform the health care benefits paid to retired municipal workers that are bankrupting the state's poorest communities.
Since 1968 the Retired State, County and Municipal Employees Association has been the leading voice for Massachusetts public retirees and their families. Join with our 52,000 members as we continue the fight.

She had been looking for somewhere to stay, but instead Marion Miller finds herself on the wrong side of the reception desk at the Peace and Pigs campground and, despite her horrible shyness, promptly lands herself a job.
Marion came to Nottinghamshire — home of Sherwood Forest — to discover her father's mysterious past, but all she has to go on is a picture of her father dressed up, it would seem, as Robin Hood.
Life on a busy campground challenges Marion's formerly controlled life –t he pigs roam free, the resident chickens seem determined to thwart her, and an unfortunate incident with a runaway bike throws her into the arms of the beautiful, but deeply unimpressed, Reuben.
Yet, Marion's would-be boyfriend Jake, and Reuben's stunning fiancée Erica, conspire to leave little room for Marion to daydream about the twinkling eyes of her rescuer . . . Will Marion ever find peace, and perhaps even love, among the pigs?
Beth Moran lives in Nottingham, England with her husband and three children. When she's not writing, Beth helps lead a national women's network.
My Impressions:
From the cover art and blurb, I thought Making Marion was going to be a lighthearted romance. And while there are definitely some light moments and a romantic thread, this novel is more a coming of age sort, even though the main character is in her mid-twenties. Not a typical Christian novel by American standards, it is one I very much enjoyed.
Marion Miller has come from her home in Ireland to Sherwood Forest to discover her deceased father's past. The victim of abuse and neglect as a child, Marion, a recovering selective mute, stumbles into the holiday park (campground) The Peace and Pigs. Recruited by owner Scarlet, Marion begins a healing journey and a discovery of just who she is.
The characters in Making Marion are wonderful. Many have been deeply wounded in their childhoods, but are determined to make a better life for themselves and for others. Scarlet, a transplanted Southern belle, serves up love in her colorful campground. Valerie, her adopted child, is filled with enthusiasm and hope despite her mother's abuse. And Marion sets on a course of conquering her many fears. The setting of the book is a treat for those who love all things British. Who can't resist a book set in Sherwood Forest and involving an annual Robin Hood festival? Moran's light handling of abuse, neglect, and forgiveness make the difficult subject easy to read. And of course, the hunky Robin, er, Reuben is definitely a swoon-worthy hero.
As I stated, this book would probably not be categorized as Christian here in the United States. There are bits that can be described as off color, some adult situations (although no graphic sex scenes), and some profanity. But I was not put off by it. The faith message of forgiveness is very subtle, but definitely a thread that runs through the book.
So should you read it? If you are conservative in your reading selections, I would say give this one a pass. But if you regularly include mainstream fiction in your reading time, then you may like Making Marion. I actually really did!
Recommended (with a caution for adult situations and profanity)
Audience: Adults

Important Crop Insurance Deadline Near for Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio Producers: Producers Need to Certify Conservation Compliance by June 1
SPRINGFIELD, IL., May 5, 2015 - The USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA) reminds producers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio that they need to have their Highly Erodible Conservation and Wetland Conservation Certification form (AD-1026) on file with their local USDA service center by June 1, 2015. The 2014 Farm Bill required all producers have the form on file by the June 1 deadline to become or remain eligible for crop insurance premium support.
"Most producers have an AD-1026 certification form on file, however, some specialty crop, nursery, even some corn and soybean producers may not. Those with catastrophic coverage (CAT) may not realize that if they don't comply with the Conservation Compliance provisions, they will be responsible for the full premium," said Brian Frieden, director, Springfield Regional Office. "We have taken many steps recently to broaden participation in the crop insurance program as part of the farm safety net, including offering new policies such as the Whole-Farm Revenue Protection, Supplemental Coverage Option, and extending organic price elections to many new crops."
Producers should visit their local USDA service center and talk with their crop insurance agent before theJune 1, 2015, deadline to ask questions, get additional information or learn more about conservation compliance procedures. Producers who file by the deadline will be eligible for federal crop insurance premium support during the 2016 reinsurance year.
Additional information about federal crop insurance and the Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation provisions is available on the RMA Farm Bill webpage.
Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the RMA Agent Locator. Producers can use theRMA Cost Estimator to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online. Learn more about crop insurance and the modern farm safety net at www.rma.usda.gov.
If you have questions about crop insurance, please feel free to call:
David F. Niepert
Risk Management Specialist
Springfield Regional Office
Risk Management Agency
(217) 241-6600 ext. 109
***If you have other questions, particularly if they are specific to this June 1st requirement or to the form AD-1026, please contact your local USDA Service Center.
Bottom line: You must get an AD-1026 on file with the Farm Service Agency (FSA) on or before June 1, 2015.
The 2014 Farm Bill requires insureds to comply with highly erodible land conservation (HELC) and wetland conservation (WC) provisions to be eligible for crop insurance premium subsidies beginning with the 2016 reinsurance year. In 2014, FCIC paid approximately 62% of the producers premium cost. Producers that are not in compliance with WC and HELC provisions could see their premium cost double. Simply stated, by June 1, 2015, insureds must have an AD-1026 Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation Certification Form on file with FSA in the same name and taxpayer identification number you use when you purchase your crop insurance policy to retain the premium subsidy. To accommodate growers with only orchard, bush and vine crops, the new AD-1026 doesn't require the establishment of detailed farm records with FSA, only the full tax identification number to establish and record compliance is met. To ensure producers are aware of the change, the Risk Management Agency sent letters in November and again in April to producers that have crop insurance, but FSA records indicate no AD-1026 is on file.
It is also important to note that insureds with catastrophic coverage (CAT) are still required to sign an AD-1026 to be eligible for the premium subsidy. Even though they only pay an administrative fee, there is a premium associated with CAT coverage and the producer will be responsible for the full premium if they don't comply with Conservation Compliance.
To continue to be eligible for premium subsidy on any Federal crop insurance policy, including specialty crops, livestock, and pasture, a form AD-1026 must be filed with FSA by June 1, 2015. If you do not have form AD-1026 on file with FSA by June 1, 2015, or are not in compliance with the requirements as outlined on the form, you will not be eligible for premium subsidy on any Federal crop insurance policy that has a sales closing date on or after July 1, 2015. This means you may still be eligible for insurance but you will have to pay the full premium.
You can find your local FSA office at http://offices.sc.egov.

This is Gilbert.
He loves sunbathing and whole milk.
Gilbert is slightly high strung for a cookie. He doesn't like being held to close to anyone's mouth and don't even try to go in for a kiss.
Just a warning.
Gilbert is a Holiday Ornament. He can best be used as a decoration on a tree but would be great as a gift topper or decoration on a wreath!
He is made from a tan felt with white, red and green felt accents. A satin ribbon is stitched securely so he can hang. He is stuffed until he is festively plump with polyfil.
He is 4.25" tall head to toe.
Any questions please contact me!
Due to the nature of handmade, the stitching and placement on each piece may vary slightly.

Zimbabwe Prepares For Launch Of New OTT Broadcasting Player -HStv
Zimbabwe's largest media house, Alpha Media Holdings (AMH) is getting ready to roll out HEART & SOUL Broadcasting Services (HStv) and is almost done with the preparation of programming as well as talent scouting.
The online radio station was granted a digital broadcasting licence in September, and the management of HStv say that it is ready to show off its rich and diverse programming.
According to Kangai Maukazuva, AHM's Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officer, the launch of HStv is a significant move for AMH's towards diversification and growth into digital broadcasting.
The radio station had a successful trial run was with at least 65 countries across the globe linking up and proving that there was a phenomenal appetite for this relatively new type of broadcasting.
Maukazuva said that in the past months HStv had been busy looking for talent and getting original programming for its diversified audience. He confirmed that the station had succeeded in getting the best and that the success of the trial run had been encouraging.
The radio station has also spent time assessing technology opportunities to entice a global audience in line with its larger digital strategy.
HStv plans to position itself as a disruptive "Over-the-Top" (OTT) broadcasting player that aims to champion the migration of audiences from traditional radio and television to the new multi-screen, data-enabled digital channels.
Maukazuva announced that HStv would be offering its services through YouTube, Facebook, Heart and Soul's website and through an exclusive mobile application in order to attract a diverse market of mobile and online radio consumers who want to view TV and [Video on demand] VoD channels on their multi-screen digital devices.
According to a report by the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Potraz), Zimbabwe's broadcasting services are at this time hoping to benefit from the country's current increase of internet penetration which has reached over 7,2 million subscriptions.
The report said that almost 98% of these subscribers use mobile technologies (3G/HSDP/LTE), proof that the market is ready for data-enabled services and the consumption of video-enabled digital content.
Heart & Soul will target its 7,2 million active subscribers using 3G and even faster internet access technologies.

Just the title alone makes you want to pick-up this book and investigate further. Eat your history indeed! But the subject matter turns out to be as fascinating, interesting and informative as the title and along the way places the culinary delights you take for granted appear in a totally different perspective.
From the first settlers to arrive on the shores of Australia to the latest wave of immigrants, the food culture of Australia commenced and is today a still evolving journey which is placing Australia up there amongst some of the better known "foodie' countries of the world.
As the evolution of Australian foods has continued from such as Wallaby Tail Stew to Peking Duck and beyond, we can trace the countries migratory population and the changes that have come, into what was a traditionally English culture, to one that is creative and far more casual, while using a many or most of the traditional items of fare, now presented in a fusion-style of flavours to temp the modern palate.
Each section comes with several pages devoted to the early Australian history in relation to the foods available, much of which was from the oceans with stingray (Skate) a popular dish, kangaroo, wallaby were right up there on the dining table, and then as settlements became more established, the range of foods increased.
Take tea as an example: Tea is a drink which has for many years been considered an everyday part of Australian households. Back in the early days of settlement Tea was served as somewhat of a ritual, dependant of the class of society you represented, coming with its own accoutrements and etiquette. As it became more readily available and affordable it was, back in the 1820's, added to the rations of the convicts as a privilege, which could be withdrawn as a punishment as required.
Many of the early recipes are based on the stapes available but many of the women managed to create wholesome foods with what was seasonally available. The livestock that arrived with the convicts and early settlers helped to establish herds of cattle for dairy production, geese, turkeys, chickens and ducks for both the table and their egg production, sheep for meat and clothing.
Crops were planted out with varying levels of success in the early days producing wheat, oats and barley; vegetables and fruits in larger quantities than the home vegie garden came long a little later, all adding to the range of foods more widely available.
For many years food was not in plentiful supply, with water shortages, droughts and crop failures. When Australia had to start provisioning their Armed forces during a succession of wars, food in the young country became even less plentiful, therefor real initiative was required to add some variety to what foodstuffs were available.
A great deal of creative cookery was required with what was available and dotted throughout the pages of this fascinating look at our culinary history are recipes which, perhaps more than anything, show how what was served in 1850, created out of what was available, is just as tasty as the most complex dish served up on today's menus.
A childhood favourite on a Sunday night in our household during the 1950's was Welsh Rarebit, cooked without the ale, which was cheap, filling and delicious. Lemon biscuits were plain and simple, made from seasonal and readily available, cost effective ingredients. They were much sought after just as they were coming out of the oven.
Devilled Bones is not something the local witchdoctor would cook up but a dish that today would get a collective 'thumbs-up' if served at the dinner table.
Beautifully presented, this delicious look at our gastronomic history, served up in a manner that places the growth of not just our dinner table dishes on view, but also the way our migrant population, commencing from the very first ship to reach these shore from England, has influenced and created the foods we enjoy today.

My friend, Sarah, is in charge of making the sketches for the new sketch challenge on Bellaholics Anonymous...the Yahoo group. Well, I just could not resist trying the first sketch as it looked sooo cute! Go HERE to see the sketch.
I wanted to make a birthday card for a friend who recently told me that her favorite color is dark blue and that she likes earthy colors. Yeah...I was having a hard time thinking of how to make a fun, cute birthday card out of that combo. I have used Cupcakahbella along with some patterned paper from one of my old 3 Little DReaMs kits for this card. I colored the Bella and the cupcake in blue's hoping it would make them look elegant and not so cutsie. For the corner piece I used a flower from K&Company. I'm not sure that this is the card I want to use for my friend so that is why I've posted it here. Plus I wanted to make sure everyone that frequents my blog sees this fun sketch!
I hope that you all have a fantastic Thursday and I'll see you tomorrow!

School Tour to Airfield
We went to Airfield farm on our school tour. We saw lots of animals including: lambs, donkeys, calves, cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. We also went on a bug hunt and we caught lots of mini beasts including 3 frogs! We planted some beans and we saw lots of vegetables growing in the garden. We loved travelling on the bus and eating our lunch altogether. We especially loved meeting billy the goat and learning the chinese chickens, they lay blue eggs! We saw a huge sheep called 'Dorset Sheep' they had big horns. We loved the Jersey cows and we saw where they are milked - their milk is particularly creamy! We learned so much, we were exhausted afterwards and so was Ms Finnegan!
What we have been up to.....
We have been busy plating spinach, carrots, peas, nasturtiums, sweet peas, strawberries and potatoes! We have also had great fun using clay to create our own pinch pots. We worked with for them to Ms O'Sullivan's class to paint them as well. Our caterpillars have arrived! We have watched them grown from a tiny caterpillar into a bigger one. they then climbed up to the lid of their jars and transformed into chrysalides. We are waiting patiently turn into butterflies! We love working with the school ipads. We have been practicing our reading using an app on the ipads and have been doing great teamwork!
You are very welcome to Ms Grace's Junior Infant class blog. We have 23 boys and girls in our class and we are all great friends. Our teacher's name is Ms Grace. We will be posting updates on all the fun activities that take place in our class.

Eighth Baby Blanket
I had this ball of brown, but I didn't know how big I should make the first row. So I wanted to crochet starting in the middle. But I was tired of the regular Granny square beginning. So I looked up patterns and found this one. This is how mine turned out:
While I was crocheting it, I really didn't like the part where I joined the row and started the next row. But after I haven't seen it for a while, I don't think it's that noticeable.
Here's a close-up of the different colors, as well as the corner. This blanket was fun and easy. :-)

This article appeared in the October 2008 Newsletter of the Texas Wendish Heritage Society of Serbin, Texas. (www.texaswendish.org)
Emilie (Woelfel) Michalk was born in Thorndale on January 31, 1898, to Nicholas and Magdalena Woelfel. Eighty-six years later, she told Edward Bernthal the story of her life. Although her heritage was German, she married a Wend, Adolph Michalk. Mr. Bernthal, now living in Waupun, Wisconsin, married Emilie's daughter, Bernice.
After graduating from Concordia – River Forest, Mr. Bernthal taught at Lutheran schools in Galveston and Racine, Wisconsin and served as Director of Christian Education in Waupun. (Conrad Bernthal, the pastor at St. Peter's Church in Serbin from 1892 -1906 was a relative.) Edward was gracious enough to permit me to edit sections of Emilie's life's story for the Newsletter. Many of the names and places she mentioned in her story were part of the Wendish experience in Texas and in addition her "Recollections" tell about a third generation Texas Wend who became a missionary to France.
Recollections on My Life
We lived on a farm about three miles west of Thorndale. I started school when I was seven. The school was in two buildings, one for the lower grades and one for the upper. Teacher Werner's son, who was a seminary student, and the pastor [A. W. Kramer] helped with the teaching. All the classes were in German. Later on English was taught in the afternoon. There were more than a hundred children in the school. Very few went to high school.
On the farm I had to help gather broomcorn to start the fire in the stove, gather the eggs and feed the chickens. I also learned how to chop cotton, pick cotton, chop and gather corn. We also raised potatoes. Since I was the oldest girl I had to help take care of the younger brothers and sisters. When the others had the measles I had to milk the cows too. We had a favorite cow we called "Schakah" (because she was a speckled cow.) [Schakah is the Wendish word for a speckled cow.] The washing we had to do on a scrub board.
We drove to church in a two-seater buggy. Father and mother sat in the front seat holding the smaller children. The rest of us sat on the second seat. The services were in German. We had our first English service in 1913 when the Texas District met in Thorndale. They had English services in the evening during the convention. I was confirmed in 1911.
My mother died in 1912 of pleurisy and pneumonia. Mother was 38 when she died and my youngest brother was less than a year old. Later my father talked about getting married again but we did not want that to happen. And he never did.
In 1913 our family moved to Bishop, Texas. Father and mother had decided on this just before mother died. The reason we moved to Bishop was because the land down there was being offered for sale by a developer F. Z. Bishop, after whom the town was named. He had built a fine hotel where he entertained and housed the people that came on the train and were interested in buying land. Other families from Thorndale were moving to Bishop to buy land. Among these were six Michalk brothers. They were John (who later became my father-in-law), Willie, Henry, Charlie, Robert, and Sam. Sam became a land agent for Mr. Bishop.
… How did we move to Bishop? We had to move all our household things, farm machines, and animals by train. There were four horses and two cows (including "Schakah"). Mr. Kap pler, a neighbor of ours who was moving with us, went along in the train that brought the two families. Father went along in the train that was moving the things of the two families. It took three days for the train to arrive with our things. We lived in the rented farm house about eight miles from town. We grew cotton, com, and some small grain. The area settled by the group from Thorndale was called "The Concordia Settlement." The settlers built their own church which they named Concordia Lutheran Church. Our first pastor was Rev. [E. J.] Moebus who was married to a daughter of John Kilian, the pastor of the Wends. We lived about a mile from the church.
Father bought 160 acres of land and rented a farm home. Unfortunately, he lost the land by foreclosure within two years. But he remained to farm some land that he rented. We had to haul our cotton to the gin in Bishop. The round trip by wagon and mules took most of the day. We children had to be picking cotton while Father was going to town. Father told us "When you are lazying around the devil is riding you" so that we wouldn't play around in the field instead of doing our work. We had a fair crop in 1914 and 1915. But one year a hurricane and another year the drought ruined the crops. [Pastor Moebus noticed that many of the Lutherans who bought land in the Valley, lost the land and moved away. An estimated amount of $500,000 was lost by Lutherans who hoped to make the Valley their home. H. W. Bewie, Missouri in Texas (Austin: The Steck Company 1952), p. 84]
Uncle Steve Woelfel had farmed in West Texas and wanted our family to move up there. Father took a train trip up there and was persuaded to leave Bishop and move to West Texas. Father and Paul went up alone to build a smokehouse and dugout home. They lived in a tent. Meanwhile I was left in charge of the rest of the family in Bishop.
While we were living on the farm in Bishop (1916) I got interested in Adolph Michalk. We had gone to school together in Thorndale. We were both in the bridal party for Walter and Lydia Moerbe's wedding. After the ceremony everybody gathered at the house for the wedding celebration. People sat in the parlor and sang songs. I remember that Adolph played the violin. On the 4th of July there was the church picnic in Moerbe's Woods. The young folks gathered at the church to shoot off their fireworks. They had about 40 Roman candles to shoot. We were told that when you see a shooting star you should make a wish and it would come true. I did. The next Sunday the youth got together for a house party. We played "Looby Lou" and other games like that. Each boy had to choose a partner. Adolph chose me. That fall Adolph left for St. Louis to go to the seminary. He asked me to write to him. Over the years there were 99 letters in all. I saved them for a long time. I think they were buried in a barbecue pit at Riesel many years later.
In 1917 father asked us to come up and meet him in Dallas. He had decided that the family would try to make a living by picking cotton. He had two mules and a covered wagon in which we slept as we moved from place to place picking cotton. There was Father, Paul and I, and three sisters and three other brothers in the group. In the fall father hired himself out with the wagon to haul goods for other people and we girls got jobs as housemaids in Dallas. The next summer father decided to return to Bishop to pick cotton, and after the season was over, we moved to a rented farm in West Texas between Wilson and Tahoka, about twenty miles south of Lubbock. I lived there until I got married.
Upon graduation from the seminary Adolph got his first call which was to Galveston. I wanted to be a June bride, but we had to settle for July 1 as our wedding day. It was the custom in those days to have the weddings on Tuesday. We were married in our house near Wilson. Rev. [John] Kollmeyer, a classmate of Adolph, performed the wedding ceremony. The next day I packed my trunk and got ready to leave on the train for Bishop. We got to San Antonio by noon and to Bishop by the 4th of July. On Sunday afternoon all the people got together at Adolph's house to celebrate the wedding. It was a large gathering with much food but no beer. The county had gone dry on July 1. We stayed at Bishop for the rest of the summer and left for Galveston on August 28. I still remember the fish smell in the air when we got off the train.
After we had been in town just one week Galveston was hit by a hurricane. We stayed in the house overnight but the next morning the landlord persuaded us to go to the courthouse for safety. At first we rented a Baptist church for
$1O a month and later the third floor of the YMCA. The church and parsonage were completed in 1921. We had lived in the new parsonage for about six weeks when Bernice was born.
In 1930 when we were expecting another baby (Dorothy) we received a second call to Fedor. I remember arriving at Fedor. When I first saw the house we were to live in I didn't want to get out of the car. The yard was overgrown with weeds. There was one big room that was to serve as the bedroom for the whole family. I asked Adolph for permission to talk to the elders about the house and they agreed to make some changes. The bathtub was moved into the pantry and new cabinets were built in the kitchen. But the congregation was helpful too. The members invited our family out to meals. They brought us fresh produce. We had three gardens in which we grew most of our own vegetables. We also had two hogs to butcher and one cow for fresh milk. When the war broke out, Paul (b. 1923) joined the Air Force and became a navigator. He was shot down over Germany during the last days of the war and was listed as lost in action.
In 1946 Dad [Arthur] got a call to Riesel. I was glad to get to live in a better house. It was also easier for Dad to get to his Mission Board meetings which were held in Waco.
[In 1948] Dad got a call to go to Alsace and Lorraine in France to serve a group of the Free Church [independent of the state church] congregations there. [Alsace and Lorraine became part of Germany in 1871 but reverted to France in 1919. A large portion of the population spoke German.] That was a laugh! "You want to go there?" I said. But Dad felt that it was a call from the Lord and he decided to go. He had been recommended since he could preach in German. We sailed on September 24, 1948 after Dad had a meeting with the Mission Board in New York. I was seasick for the first three days of the trip. The steward told me to eat apples. We lived in the parsonage at Schillersdorf. The parsonage was built of heavy brick and not very modern. I cooked on a woodstove and we heated the house with coal. Half of the house served as the church. It seated about 100 people. Dad served four congregations. Besides Schillersdorf there was Obersoulsbach, Woerth, and Lembach.
We came home for three-month furloughs in 1953 and 1956. We returned home to stay in 1958. Before we left for France in 1946 we had three grandchildren. By the time we returned in 1958 there were about a dozen.
After returning Dad served a congregation in Smithville from 1958 to 1962. He retired on January 1, 1962 and we decided to move to Giddings. We had the New Year's Day service in Smithville that morning. The young people of the congregation helped us load our things after the service. By 4:00 in the afternoon we were drinking coffee in our house in Giddings. We lived at 1208 E. Austin Street from 1962 – 1974. Dad was assisting the pastor at Immanuel in Giddings but had problems crossing Highway 290 in front of our house. After Dad had two accidents we decided to buy a house closer to the church.
We lived at 427 N. Leon for two years before Dad died on June 12, 1975. He had preached at the nursing home on that Wednesday. After listening to the news we went to bed as usual. He died in his sleep of a cerebral hemorrhage.
[Emilie died on February 11, 1992 at the age of 94.]]]>

Emotional win by Cleonte in Alexandra
Cleonte, a horse owned by late Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, has won at Ascot.
Cleonte has come out on top in the stamina test at Royal Ascot, the Queen Alexandra Stakes over 4300 metres.
The race was the final event of the five-day meeting and an emotional victory for trainer Andrew Balding and King Power Racing.
King Power was the brainchild of the late Leicester City chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, who died in a helicopter crash in October.
His photograph was carried by members of his family into the Royal Ascot winner's enclosure.
Patiently ridden by Silvestre de Sousa, Cleonte stayed on stoutly to hold off the late challenge of last year's winner Pallasator by 1-1/4 lengths with 2015 Melbourne Cup runner-up Max Dynamite another four lengths third.
"It's really great. I'm chuffed for everyone at King Power and the chairman's family," Balding said.
"We had some near-misses this week and we were just desperate to get a winner on the board. We left it late, but happy days.
"They've all run well, but everything that has happened over the last year – the chairman loved Ascot and it started his interest in the sport.
"This was always the target after the Chester Cup and I'm so pleased it's worked out."

Rugby keeps rolling
If you have not heard of our SMSU Women's Rugby Team, you have been truly missing out. Currently 6-3 for the fall season, the Women's Rugby Team is doing well this semester.
On Sat., Oct. 21st, the team had three home games on the track and field turf. Two 7s games (7 players, 7 minute halfs), and one 15s game (15 players, 15 minutes halfs). During the first game against SDSU at 9:30, SMSU scored 3 tries in the first half, two by Courtney Mulder and 1 by Jessica Janisch. SDSU also earned a try and scored on their chance to kick, giving the SMSU Women's Rugby team another win for the fall season.
Scrum-half and President of the team Courtney Mulder said, "The first game our team excelled at communicating and reading each other. We worked very well as a unit, running good support and good ball movement."
During the first half of the second game, NSU scored 3 tries and SMSU's Natalie Warne scored 1. This game was played by mostly the newer players on the team, and was the third for the season, but as Emily Errico, a new player, and wing on the team stated "It was a chance for all the new players to feel each other's playing styles out and implement the techniques we learned about in practice. Even though we lost that game, it was still a great experience, especially since the team we faced off against had such great sportsmanship. I've only experienced that combination of courtesy and competition in rugby."
The 15s game was the first 15s game for SMSU, but the team still did well scoring 2 tries by Kaylee Glomstad and Janisch. The combined NSU/SDSU team scored 1 try and 1 kick during this half. During the second half NSU/SDSU scored 3 tries and 1 kick. Abbey Baumann, a Loose head prop and Vice President of the Team said, "We played and communicated very well, as this has been our first 15s game and getting to know the different positions, as a team we did great." Overall, the team has been doing extremely well.

How to separate out the SVF decay parameter? The symplectic form of the SVF discretization has the nice property that the stability is preserved, however this only says something about conservative systems. How to separate out the non-conservative part? ( Does this actually make sense? )

Get you architectural fix with Airbnb
A very interesting initiative by Airbnb on the occasion of World Architecture Day: the site has selected ten accommodations that are architectural masterpieces designed by famous architects from around the world. A dream coming true for archi-lovers.
An original way to celebrate World Architecture Day
On October 1st, 2018, World Architecture Day was celebrated. An initiative launched in 2005 by the International Union of Architects, to show appreciation for the work of architects and to celebrate their global architectural works. Airbnb makes it possible to stay in homes designed by architect stars like Franck Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto or Shigeru Ban. Dozens of Airbnb hosts around the world are opening their amazing properties, allowing a few lucky travellers to live their dream, even if it is just for one night.
From Michigan to Milan, passing through Marseille and Rotterdam
Among the treasures selected by Airbnb, there is the Eppstein House, built in the late 1940's in Galesburg, Michigan, designed by American architect Franck Lloyd Wright, or Stefano Boeri's Vertical Forest, an incredible construction completed in 2014, with more than 20,000 plants, a real challenge for urban biodiversity. Another example is the cube house in Rotterdam, which is part of a group of innovative houses designed by architect Piet Blom, and based on the concept of living "as an urban roof".
Last but not least, we found a duplex in the bright city of Marseille designed by the famous French architect Le Corbusier: a 50m2 duplex appartment with a magnificent sea view from the 7th floor and access to the rooftop. Heritage treasures or other impressive houses, let Airbnb surprise you.

At the moment I am in the flight to Soul Korea.
I'm sitting and thinking how our life has reached full circle. In 2006 I arrived in Melbourne and in 2010 I'm departing Australia from Melbourne. Soon after a long flight I will be able to stretch my legs. Who would ever think that I will land in Soul South Korea? The children were totally excited to overnight in a Hotel with breakfast. The weather forecast for Amsterdam is cold very cold.
For the last 4 years my family and I lived in Australia. In this time I have learned to drive and I have become an Australian citizen. My Naïve Art has been developed in Australia. These facts are now a part of my life biography.
My family didn't find real security. We bought a house in Hervey Bay and hoped that our roots would grow. Unfortunately the search for that special something has transformed from being a dream into an illusion. We thought perhaps we had moved to the wrong area. We planned new strategies and the idea to travel around Australia became a new option. We had new hope that we would find this new area in which we could see our children grow.
Unfortunately I didn't experience Australia as the books and travelling guides suggest. I find it difficult to find the correct words to describe my feelings. I do not want to offend anyone and that my interpretations are not misunderstood. The images and reproductions are beautiful. Australia is an attractive continent. Sadly it is not the place for me and my family to live. Each family member has more than one passport/nationality and the choice to live in another county is possible. That includes Australia and most of Western Europe.
I am a Bulgarian citizen. I grew up in poor conditions and my life has been very intense. There exists a full pallet of memories. I remember the corruption with and within the then communistic regime. I recall for the first time when it was permitted to attend and pray in the Orthodox Church. I was then 20 years of age. I remember the times when it was better not to speak your mind otherwise you may get problems with the regime.
I remember after arriving in Melbourne nearly 4 years ago how much it resembled Bulgaria. I have tried to discuss this with the Australians but soon I realized that this theme was not really accepted.
Interesting in this time we met others also travelling some for a year others for 6 years around Australia and all experiencing this continent in their own and personal way. Everyone seems to have a different optic.
Living in Australia I have realized how dependent one needs to be and how difficult it is to retain your identity. "Be happy that you are in the system and it may get better." I have tried to come to terms in the country where my children will grow up, within this money driven country. It hurts when I was here in 2002 as a tourist it was then the country I fell in love with. Australia is the country where my children can grow up in and have a good future. It is sad when my dreams have become an illusion.
Now I am in the plane taking us all back to Europe.
I feel the strong air-conditioning and look upon my children who are relaxed, gazing at the video monitor and are counting the hours until we arrive. My daughter asks for the thousandths time when can she meet her grandfather in Holland and her grandmother in Bulgaria.
October 2009 after selling our house in Hervey Bay we set of on our trip with our Toyota RAV 4 and Camper Trailer. Our first stop was Biggerton a small town about 90 KM east of Hervey Bay. For 4 days we relaxed and enjoyed the stillness and beautiful climate. We reorganized our trailer and with the children hiked at the foot of Mount Walsh. We visited Carnarvon National Park, in Toowoomba we were the travelling family that was interviewed and Photographed by the local news paper. Exhausted with the camper trailer we experienced Lamington National Park and just loved hiking and soaking up the environment that Lamington has to offer. Our camper trailer was not what it is made out to be. It was too time consuming and the quality was not up to standard. After Lamington we drove to the Gold Coast to the factory where the trailer was manufactured. They repaired all its defects and we decided to go to Melbourne as we had heard that our belongings were not satisfactory delivered to our prearranged storage in Yarragon Victoria.
Once in Victoria we arranged that everything was correctly organized with our storage and we decided to trade our camper trailer in for a caravan and our Toyota RAV 4 for a Toyota PRADO Land Cruiser.
After this episode we drove with our new caravan and Toyota to Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsula Victoria and relaxed and enjoyed the beaches, wineries galleries and nature hikes. The Australian school holidays were about to begin. To avoid the crowds we decided to travel inland direction Bendigo to finally end up in South Australia. We spent Christmas on the banks of the Murray River near Mildura. On the beach of Rapid Bay we celebrated the New Year with a glass of Australian Champaign and in Adelaide, Adelaide Hills and Mount Barker we spent 2 weeks enjoying activities such as swimming, hiking, fishing, painting etc. We loved South Australia and the Adelaide Hills so much that we nearly bought a house. Our urge to travel was greater so on a Monday morning we decided to go west. We drove through the Fleurieu and Eyre Peninsulas crossed from South to Western Australia over the Nullarbor Pain. "Wow!" what a journey a never ending High Way and dessert on the south rim of Australia where the southern wind roar across the plains. We travelled kilometer after kilometer through Esperance, Albany, Denmark, Shark Bay, Carnarvon, Coral Bay, Port Hedland and eventually ending up in Broome.
My husband celebrated his birthday in Rosebud, my son in Adelaide and I in Perth. My daughter will enjoy her 5th birthday in Assen, Holland. It is difficult to believe but we want to return to Europe. In Broome we were totally isolated but I love the heat. It is so hot there that you feel as though you are cooking. True the swimming pool in our camping in Broome must have been the nicest swimming pool that I have been in.
Because my father-in-law suddenly became seriously ill we decided to end our journey. We heard from one of the locals that in the mining city of Port Hedland caravans are in demand and that we could get a good price for our caravan if we wanted to sell it. So we decided to go back to Port Hedland and try our luck to sell our car and caravan. But to travel back to Port Hedland isn't "easy peasy" as my daughter would say.
In Port Hedland we were a whole day on the market with our caravan where the thermometer reached 45°C. There were many people interested in the caravan but strangely enough no-one was able to find the finances needed to buy. I believe on this day we drank liters after liters of water. Without success we drove back to Victoria to our storage and to sell our Toyota and put our caravan under consignment.
Broome - Melbourne was the longest journey that I ever have made in one go and will probably be the longest journey that I will ever make. Never to be forgotten! I remember the titles in the Western Australia touristic prospect "Unforgettable Western Australia." Yes! That's true. We were hours and days in the car. Seven days without a break from morning until late at night. Seven days and 4500 kilometers and finally we were in Melbourne.
At the start I felt very grubby and not clean at all, but after a few days this feeling was gone. We were tiered and exhausted.
Late in the evening we found on our last night before Melbourne an isolated dirt road. Here we would not disturb anyone we thought. Early in the morning we were woken up by a loud sound as though a road train had driven by. We looked out of the window and to our surprise a huge yellow bulldozer drove past our caravan scraping up the road. We dressed quickly brushed our teeth and outside 2 workers wished us a good morning and helped us with directions.
That was our adventure our journey. Travelling through Australia and writing about Australia is a process in which time stands still. A huge continent without an end!
Behind us are 26 703 kilometers, 5 months or 21 ½ weeks, or 149 days to answer our question;
"Where do we belong?"
I'm sitting in the plane. I'm wearing jeans, socks and my Redback shoes and I am trying to remember the last time I wore a woolen jumper. I'm sitting in the plane and realize that my personal biography book has become a little heavier and has many new pages.
It is said: Life is movement!
I confront myself and say; "Lydia you're flying!" I contently laugh and end my news.

Project Nimbus PC Controls
WASD to move.
W = Forward
S = Backward
A = Left
D = Right
E to ascend.
C to descend.
Left ctrl or space bar = Boost/Thrust. Holding it down will make you move faster while tapping it will thrust you. Tap the space bar with WASD and EC to dodge missiles and what not.
Hold down Left Shift = Activates slow-mo/bullet time. Helps improve accuracy and line up your shots. Or gives you time to target enemies with missiles.
LMB (left mouse button) = Fire your weapon. Pretty simple.
RMB = Target lock entering F.E.S mode. Just click it to turn on/off target lock. It'll lock onto the closest enemy to the recticle, which is indicated by a highlight (a square over their body).
If you have missiles equipped, holding down the RMB places a marker over enemies. You can place multiple markers on one or more enemies. If you let the RMB go (or hold it for too long), it'll shoot the missiles at the assigned targets. If you held it for too long, it'll shoot off all your missiles.
If you have funnels (psycho drones on the Mirai), locking on to an enemy will make the funnels focus their attacks to the target and keep it busy. If you un-target, the funnels will shoot down incoming missiles.
The number keys or scroll wheel = change your equipped weapon
R = reload
Pressing the scroll wheel = melee. Only the Mirai and M5 Viper can melee. If you have a target lock, the battleframe will thrust towards the target while meleeing. You can also deflect incoming bullets (even rail guns) and destroy missiles using melee. But you're better off dodging.
F = Flares. Tip, flares only work on missiles that are in close proximity of the battleframe.
V = switch between 1st/3rd person.
X to transform. Currently, only the M5 Viper battle frame can transform (into a jet). Naturally, like a jet, you'll go forward constantly.
W = boost
S = brakes
A = Barrel roll left
D = Barrel roll right
Move the mouse to move
Drag the mouse left or right to turn
X = Transform back into a battleframe

Gosh, that certainly took a while for me to get this blog up and running. Even with templates that have the blogger code already in them, it seems you still have to do a bit of coding yourself to "fix" everything that's there. Oh well. Such is life. I tried to find a simple way out of doing something, and I ended up doing most of it myself anyway. At least I can stop playing with it now, and actually get to posting.
So how many Wiccan mothers do you know? I know quite a few. Far more Wiccans that are childless though. It seems that a lot of people are scared to actually practice their religion, even though its protected by law. I know it took me years to come out of the "broom closet", and for no other reason than because I have a very uncaring, unkind, vindictive ex-husband. Come to think of it, aren't most ex-husbands like that? I always wanted the storybook ex. Happily helped you out with things, talked about the kids together, called for holidays and birthdays or just to say "hey".. but I digress.. No, I kept my Paganism to myself for years. I didn't keep my daughter away from it, but I didn't advertise what I was either. And now, almost 5 years after our divorce, he figures out that I'm not a christian like he thought I was. How he ever got that idea I'll never know.
He calls me a few days ago and asks about this "Pagan stuff." I asked him,"What do you want to know?" His wife told him all about Pagans it seems, and they are bad, very bad! I explained that it was an Earth religion that focused on the seasons and the elements. I told him how I believe in a male and female diety, as opposed to just one. He asked what kind of things we do at these "circles" I take my kids to. One of the kids being his daughter. I told him how we talk, eat food, recognize the season and the times and the moon, sometimes we do crafts and sing, etc.. Then he asked me what has to be the funniest thing I've ever heard. "Do you make voo-doo dolls like on the Blair Witch Project? Because I've been getting aches and pains lately and I'm wondering if..." Oh my Goddess! Did he actually just ask me that?! I couldn't contain my laughter. I just couldn't. I assured him that we don't do that sort of thing. I also told him I'd print him off some things that will explain it better to him. For instance, I didn't go into detail the difference between what a Pagan is, and what a Wiccan is. I figured I'd let Witchvox do that for me. So far there hasn't been any more questions, so perhaps he's grown up a bit in the past year. I can only hope so.
The baby is clawing at my shirt hoping I'll get the hint, so I'll end this for now.

Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz's Official Report on the Zeebrugge Raid, 24 April 1918
During the night of April 22-23 an enterprise of the British naval forces against our Flanders bases, conceived on a large scale and planned regardless of sacrifice, was frustrated.
After a violent bombardment from the sea, small cruisers, escorted by numerous destroyers and motorboats, under cover of a thick veil of artificial fog, pushed forward near Ostend and Zeebrugge to quite near the coast, with the intention of destroying the locks and harbour works there.
According to the statements of prisoners, a detachment of four Companies of the Royal Marines was to occupy the Mole of Zeebrugge by a coup de main, in order to destroy all the structures, guns, and war material on it and the vessels lying in the harbour. Only about forty of them got on the Mole. These fell into our hands, some alive, some dead. On the narrow high wall of the Mole both parties fought with the utmost fierceness.
Of the English naval forces which participated in the attack the small cruisers Virginia sic, Intrepid, Sirius and two others of similar construction, whose names are unknown, were sunk close off the coast. Moreover, three torpedo-boat destroyers and a considerable number of torpedo motor-boats were sunk by our artillery fire. Only a few men of the crews could be saved by us.
Beyond damage caused to the Mole by a torpedo sic hit, our harbour-works and coast batteries are quite undamaged. Of our naval forces only one torpedo-boat suffered damage of the lightest character. Our casualties are small.
