When JS crashed and died in December 2008 there was a lot of hype about it all over the press. MANY members of JS were upset about losing all their entries and mad because there was no warning about it. Well, the admin couldn’t give a warning…. a former employee set up a trojan or other type of bug into the software and suddenly the site kicked the bucket.
I had already set up a, no longer existing, forum as a refugee camp for when the site was down for maintenance and needless to say, I was soon busier then I ever thought I would be, especially since it was the holiday season as well.
Soon everyone drifted off to other blogging sites, especially as we became to realise that JS was NOT coming back. Many still kept contact with each other, others were lost to the whelms of the cyber world.
During the crises I was approached by a reported of some computer magazine, asking about my refugee camp and wanting a statement. Here’s her request and my answer…..I don’t remember it….sorry.
Then there was this very „entertaining“ video put up in YouTube…. I was able to grab it before it disappeared forever.

Bombardier has ceded control of its new CSeries to Airbus, abandoning hope of ascending into the top echelons of passenger aircraft manufacturing alongside rivals Airbus and Boeing but securing US market access for its new jetliners.
"I am saddened but at the same time reassured," by Bombardier's partnership with Airbus on the CSeries, aeronautics professor Mehran Ebrahimi at the University of Quebec in Montreal told AFP. "Everyone wins in this agreement."
The European aircraft manufacturer took a 50.1 percent stake in the CSeries program in exchange for using its sales and marketing heft to lift CSeries sales.
The CSeries is the first new design in the 100- to 150-seat category in more than 25 years, and only just started to roll off assembly lines.
But development cost overruns and Boeing's complaint that Bombardier unfairly benefited from state subsidies that allowed it to sell 75 CSeries aircraft at below cost to Delta Airlines had put a strain on its bottom line and put the lucrative US market potentially out of reach.
With Airbus now onboard, CSeries sales are expected to take off, Ebrahimi said.
Only 360 have been ordered so far, but Airbus says it can boost those numbers to 3,000 over 20 years, grabbing a 50 percent marketshare.
Furthermore, the partnership provides a way to dodge hefty duties imposed by the US Commerce Department as a result of the Boeing complaint, by building CSeries aircraft for the US market at Airbus's Mobile, Alabama plant.
The 220 percent countervailing duties and 80 percent anti-dumping duties, if confirmed, would have effectively "closed access for Bombardier to the US market," said Quebec Economy Minister Dominique Anglade.
But Airbus announced plans to open a second final assembly line at its facility in Alabama for the CSeries.
"The CSeries will be assembled in the US and so will not be subject to those duties, which is fantastic for Bombardier and Canada," said Walid Hejazi, a professor of aeronautical management at the University of Toronto.
The tie-up also allows Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's administration to reconsider its threat not to buy new fighter jets from Boeing over the company's alleged manipulation of the US trade remedy system to try to crush an emerging rival.
"Boeing is not happy as this new development undermines its strategic position," Hejazi told AFP.
He said Boeing never anticipated a move that "gives it's number one rival, Airbus, a new line of single aisle planes in its portfolio."
In a roundabout way, the deal also benefits US President Donald Trump "in the sense that aircraft production is being taken out of Canada and is being sent to the US," Hejazi added.
Headquarters for the CSeries program and the main assembly line will remain at Bombardier's Montreal facility, which employs 2,000 people.
Quebec's aeronautics sector, which employes 40,000 people and supplies parts for the CSeries, is also expected to get a boost from an overall sales spike.
"Airbus has just acquired an extraordinary technology (in the CSeries), which will complement its range of products," said Ebrahimi. "Bombardier will certainly increase its number of orders and thus the viability of its project over the long term."
"Now all of the other US airlines and others around the world will be looking more seriously at the CSeries," echoed Hejazi.
Going forward, Airbus may also decide to nix its rejigged A320neo jetliner and instead go with Bombardier's plans for a larger aircraft with more than 150 seats that would be called the CS500.
"Producing the CS500 would be cheaper for Airbus than developing its own based on the A320 family, but again, it's not as clear as Airbus has more than 3,000 orders for the A320neo," said Ebrahimi.

Zinacantán, nearby, is also rich in indigenous culture and customs.
Days 5-6: A scenic 4-hour drive through fertile valleys takes you east towards Palenque.

The estimated flight cost included in this itinerary (assuming international flights from the UK plus any internal flights that are necessary) is £1,000 per person.
Chan-Kah Resort - a rustic lodge ideally situated on the road to the site of Palenque.
Hacienda Chichen - a beautiful 17th century building with lovely gardens, just a short walk from the Chichen Itzá ruins.
We have tried to give you as accurate an idea of prices as possible, including meals where appropriate (but not when there are good local options so you don't pay for a meal that you might not want), accommodation, transfers, and any tours we have included.
All prices are per person based on two people sharing a room and are intended as a guide (local high or low seasons can cause some variation). All prices were correct when published but may vary with exchange rate fluctuations, fuel surcharges, or changes in the general economic situation.
To calculate the flight price we sometimes use air passes. If you arrange your own international flights we highly recommend that you advise us as early as possible as several air passes only operate in conjunction with specific international carriers.

When your office is a war zone, leadership and teamwork skills can save your life. Here, peacekeeper, survivor and all-around war heroine Matina Jewell speaks with Latte Magazine about learning to fight back through the toughest environment on earth.
Suspense, action, drama and even romance – the Matina Jewell story could come straight from the script of the Hollywood blockbuster. However, the unassuming blonde – who broke down gender barriers on her rapid ascent through the defence force – knows some of the most important parts of her story happened behind the scenes.
A career in the Armed Forces seemed an unlikely choice for the girl from Alstonville, a small hinterland town on the outskirts of Byron Bay. Matina, 38, and older brother Mark enjoyed an outdoorsy upbringing by the beach in what she describes as an idyllic childhood with her mother Helen and schoolteacher father Roger. Aside from her grandfather, who served in World War II, there were no strong family ties to the defence force. But that all changed when, at age 16, Matina travelled to China to represent Australia in a junior volleyball championship.
"Coming from Byron Bay into the indoor most population of Shanghai was an eye-opening experience. I would speak to my opponents who were fascinated by the fact that in Australia I could see stars in the sky at night. That cultural diversity focused me on what I wanted to do for a career," explains Matina. It was the humanitarian aid aspect of the military that really intrigued her, and, while her decision to enter the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) at age 17 was met with surprise by her family, Matina says they were all very supportive. "I think we were all a bit naïve about the role I could end up serving in. Since Vietnam there hadn't been much active service but Aussies have been involved in. Also, as a female officer, I don't think we expected I would be in those positions or rules that would let me see active service," says Matina. However, after five overseas missions, two of which were in the middle east, she thinks her parents must have wondered why they encouraged her so wholeheartedly.
While today opportunities for women in the armed forces are close to being on par with their male counterparts, it was very different in 2004 when Matina enrolled in the ADFA. Rather than deterring her, it motivated her to achieve more, cross-training with the Navy to be the first female in the army to complete the physically demanding Navy Divers course as well as the first army woman to fast-rope out of helicopters, previously something only special forces soldiers would do. "I achieved what I did as a result of the women before me who had broken through the glass ceiling so that women of my generation could have a career – we could do almost anything in the defence force we wanted to."
In a male-dominated environment leadership roles for women were particularly scarce. While some more senior officers saw her gender as a liability, Matina believes it's only made her a better leader. "I used to get frustrated that my male counterparts could waltz into a new posting and get that instant respect simply because of their rank, whereas I often felt I had to earn the respect of my team. In hindsight I think it's given me strength as an officer. Being a leader is a two-way street and I've learned that respect is something you earn, not a rank you wear," Matina says.
In her 15 year career, Matina was deployed on five overseas operational missions, Including two tours of active service in the Middle East and two operations in the Solomon Islands. She soon became familiar with the rigors of a war zone and her natural leadership skills granted her the opportunity to command the ship's army department aboard HMAS Kanimbla, Australia's largest amphibious ship, at only 24.
By 2005 Matina's commitment earned her a coveted 13 month deployment as a peacekeeper with the United Nations. She spent seven months in Syria and the rest in Lebanon, where she was primarily tasked with the responsibility I reporting breaches of the peace agreements and representing a much-needed symbol of calm for civilians. But that role suddenly expanded when, only weeks before her mission ended, war broke out between the Hezbollah and Israel. In addition to reporting breaches, the priority became getting out of the line of fire.
"Within minutes we went from monitoring a peace agreement to being in the thick of a full-scale war. The vulnerabilities of being an unarmed peacekeeper made it very dangerous." Daily near misses with bombings from fighter jets, attack helicopters and rockets became the norm.
If her loved ones were under the impression Matina had chosen a safer path as a UN peacekeeper, that illusion was soon shattered. In one agonizing phone call to her parents from within the bunker of her patrol base, her parents were fully exposed to Matina is reality. "I hadn't been able to contact them for quite a while as they'd been away on holidays. I was hoping in that call to reassure them everything was fine, but unfortunately during that conversation Israel commenced artillery attacks all around us, and my parents could hear the bombing happening outside the bunker door. It was such an emotional phone call and I knew my parents would be distraught not knowing what happened after we hung up and not even knowing the next time we'd be able to communicate."
It wasn't Matina's only close call with death. She can recall at least six occasions when she says she really should have died during that war. Her closest encounter came only on her second night into the war when an Israeli high-explosive artillery round impacted only 15 metres in front of her. "The only reason I didn't die was that it didn't fully detonate in front of me. If it had of operated the way it was designed to it would have shattered into thousands of pieces of hot metal shrapnel. Given that I was only 15 metres in front, it's more than likely it would have been a fatal hit," she says. Matina and her team were in the thick of almost constant fighting, but in rare moments of reprieve it was hard for her not to be affected by the human toll. "When you're in operational mode you're making decisions simply to survive, but the impact on the community and the civilian loss of life is devastating."
Matina can still recall in detail the accident that ended her military career at the young age of 30 in late 2006. Already a week overdue to be relieved by fresh personnel at the base, Matina was tasked to command a crew of 16 Indian and Ghanaian soldiers in a convoy of vehicles to the UN headquarters. Horrendous conditions meant the normally two-hour journey would take two days to complete. It was in the last portion of that transit Matina was injured in her cumbersome armored vehicle. "We'd been informed by headquarters that Israel was about to conduct the largest airstrike on record and we should expect to see bombs at any moment. We were making speed through chaotic city streets among panicked civilians also trying to seek shelter. I was on the radio and my driver was required to perform evasive maneuvering around an obstruction. With no seatbelts, I was thrown into the bulletproof windscreen of my vehicle."
Returning home proved to be a difficult transition for Matina. The physical pain of her injuries combined with horrific flashbacks and the effects of post-traumatic survivor guilt resulted in her hitting rock bottom. Matina delved into severe depression that she says robbed her of all positivity. "In a split second my life had been turned upside down. My career had ended without any say in the decision from me," she recalls. "I went from being supremely fit to being immobilized by pain and stuck in hospital for many months. I wore spinal brace for a year and who I saw myself as a person was largely wrapped up in my physical abilities. In hindsight I know I had so much to be thankful for, but at the time I can see that."
The physical and emotional aspects were crushing on their own, but what Matina didn't expect upon returning home was a battle with her own government. One of the criteria to qualify for 'war service' stated you had to be carrying a weapon, which meant that Matina, an unarmed peacekeeper, was ineligible to receive war-service recognition. Along with that, the health cover she required to treat the injuries weren't necessarily going to be covered when she was medically retired from the Army.
"Although I was clearly in a war zone, I didn't tick that bureaucratic box," says Matina. After more than two years, Matina won her long legal battle and received both the service recognition and the health coverage that she will require for the rest of her life. She now acts as an advocate for other Australian soldiers and feels honoured to have been selected as part of the Prime Minister's Advisory Council. "I needed to ensure that some positive lessons were learned from my experiences. We've had some significant changes to legislation to protect our wounded veterans in the future, but there's still a lot of work to be done with the Department of Veterans Affairs."
Instrumental throughout Matina's recovery was her husband Clent, a marketing executive, who she met at a mutual friend’s wedding only months before being deployed to the Middle East on her mission with the UN. The irony of meeting the right man at the wrong time wasn't lost on the couple, but love was on their side. Only a few months into her deployment Clent accepted a new position in Dubai and, with regular rendezvous in Lebanon, their fledgling romance was able to blossom. Clent was fortuitously in Lebanon when Matina had her accident and he assisted her evacuation on a boat with 1000 Lebanese refugees to Cyprus. "He really is the hero of my story," Matina says. "I have an amazing support network around me; they helped me get back on feet and turn my life around."
Critical to her emotional recovery was writing her book, Caught in the Crossfire, which was commissioned by publishers Allen and Unwin following the popular screening of her story on ABC's Australian Story in 2010. "I had 90 days to write an 110,000 word manuscript. It was a cathartic experience as I emotionally revisited those periods of my life in a different way, to reflect and relive them, and "Matina says. The book also uses QR technology in an Australian first, with readers able to view videos and be transported to the Lebanese war zone – as well as witnessing the agonizing moment Matina was thrown against the bulletproof windscreen of her vehicle. It was captured inadvertently by the video camera she's been using to record breaches of the peace.
Today, Matina has transferred the leadership and teamwork skills which saved her life on the battlefield to board room as an in-demand speaker. She says her fulfillment comes from seeing others benefit from her experiences. It also honors the service and sacrifice of her fallen teammates.
Her advice to women in business is to never underestimate the role we all play in our own organisation. "You never know if it could be your words of encouragement that could help turn some else's life around." For women in leadership positions she says, like on the battlefield, courage is one of the most important attributes to possess. "Particularly when dealing with change, leaders need to have vision, courage and the ability to invigorate their team to be part of the cultural change that is often required at the same time" she shares.
While she might be retired from the armed forces, Matina laughs that her skills as a negotiator are still regularly put into practice with her daughter, Sierra, two, affectionately nicknamed 'Cyclone Sierra.' Her second child is due in December. "I'm so blessed to be a mum, but it's amazing how sometimes one little person can make commanding 500 soldiers and dodging bombs in a war zone look like a walk in the park," she laughs. The growing family live in country Victoria and, like most working mums, Matina attempts the daily juggle between work and family life. She has simple lessons to share with her own children. "For women of this era, anything is possible as long as they put in the hard work. I'll always encourage my daughter to shoot for the stars."
It may be a little less action-packed than the previous chapters of her life, but it seems the Matina Jewell story is far from over.

That's what the Dirty Dishes dinner series is all about; too much fun going on to even think about a sink full of dirty dishes. Bring a loved one, a bunch of friends, or come alone! There’s no set amount on the seats you can book, but there are only 18 seats in total. All wine is included and perfectly paired by my good pal, one of Canada's most noted sommeliers, Angela Aiello of iyellowineclub.
Each Dirty Dishes event is a 5 course culinary journey, different every time. We don't release the menu prior but we can assure you the meal is accessible but jam packed with delicious little surprises. And we of course cater to all dietary requirements.
The event takes place Friday, June 1st at a small intimate space in downtown Toronto - we keep the location hush hush until just prior to the event.
The cost is $249 per person. Scroll down to book now.
Let's crack a few bottles and enjoy an unpretentious evening of great food, spectacular wine and great company. See you there.
PS. If you have any questions about the events or would like to be informed of upcoming events please email us at mel.b@chefmikeward.com.

Ironically, we don’t apply the same scrutiny and thinking to one of the persistent, divisive and costly issues that touch virtually every American: the rising cost of health care. I’m a supporter of the Affordable Care Act, yet that groundbreaking policy is insufficient, in itself, as a mechanism to corral the rising costs of health care. Even with the Affordable Care Act, many Americans will still find health care too expensive. Part of this rests on our inability to understand the cost of health care. We don’t know what procedures cost, for example, and because there are bureaucratic disconnects between providers and insurers, the average person and business are paying for these weaknesses in the system.
Imagine trying to make a major investment after talking to a financial adviser, but you didn’t know how much you and your wife earned as a family. What if the adviser suggested cutting back on expenses? It would seem even more ludicrous if you didn’t know precisely what expenses you had and the amount you were spending. Yet, what was apparent is that you felt “short” financially at the end of the month.
I believe in the central tenets that transparency, honesty and solid facts provide for the best tools when it comes to making a decision. We can’t run away or ignore the increasing burden of health care costs. That is why I’ve sponsored a proposal, A952, that calls for the creation of an All-Payers Claim Database (APCD). The idea calls for a database that would provide crucial information that we could rely upon to help us lower costs and improve services.
These are real, measureable and actionable items that could take us in the direction of reducing health care costs. Eleven states have already “seen the light” and implemented an APCD, with five other states developing one. It appears that 21 other states are giving the idea serious consideration. Can we do no less?
New Jersey health care costs are among the highest in the nation. We cannot improve what we cannot measure. And we surely cannot reduce health care costs without a careful and judicious assessment of what we’re paying. The lifeblood of reducing health care costs for individuals and businesses is to understand the rules of the game. And it is, in large measure, cost that dictates those rules. It’s time to use the benefits of an APCD database to lock down “real” numbers so that we can begin the discussion of reining in health care costs on a more equitable playing field.
The rules of the game in this case are in addition to specific cost implications per situation. the rules still dictate how and where the costs apply. and for lack of transparent communication tools and consumer obligations, insurers and medical offices both overapply costs and underserve their customers.

A study from DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has found that the price of installed photo-voltaic panels fell for the fifth consecutive year.
You are aware of the seriousness of climate change or you wouldn’t be reading this email. Have you ever wondered why society seems unable to do anything about the problem? Perhaps the findings of psychologists can supply the answer.
Eric Holthaus has a very interesting essay in Rolling Stone summarizing the extreme responses of the climate system that have been observed just this year. While it may be a bit scary to read, it contains things that we should all be aware of.
July 2015 was the Earth’s hottest month on record. The current El Niño is expected to intensify in the latter half of the year. This, in combination with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation moving into a positive phase, is expected to make 2015 significantly hotter than 2014. Joe Romm summarizes the evidence for these events and discusses their implications for the climate.
Most studies on climate change focus on the physical and biological consequences, but research by Geoffrey Heal and Jisung Park focused on the economic impacts, which can be significant. Unfortunately, not enough attention is being paid to how rising temperatures will impact worker productivity.
This week the U.S. EPA released new proposed regulations for methane leaks from the natural gas supply system. There has been much attention given to this in the media, but in case you missed it you can learn more here. What you may not have heard is that a new study has found that leaks from natural gas gathering facilities are much worse than had been thought, being about eight times greater than EPA estimates. In addition, Joe Romm takes everyone to task, including the EPA, for low-balling the global warming potential of methane in the press releases and news articles.
The wildfire situation in the western U.S. is dire, with five states battling 10 or more fires each. As a consequence the U.S. is at a Wildfire Preparedness Level 5, the highest, and has been since Aug. 13.
International organizations have been overestimating the CO2 emissions from China’s coal-fired power plants by around 14%.
Greenland’s Jakobshavn glacier just calved a huge area of ice, around 5 sq. miles, from its face, causing its calving line to retreat markedly. This has several implications for the future, which are discussed in the article.
Global investment bank Citigroup joins the chorus of studies showing that acting on climate change by investing in renewable energy results in significant savings; in this case, $1.8 trillion by 2040. In addition, the study finds that electricity from solar PV panels will be competitive with electricity from conventional fossil fuels by 2030 so there is a strong economic incentive for their installation.
You are probably aware of Bill McKibben’s article on the “Terrifying New Math” in the July 19, 2012 issue of Rolling Stone that launched the fossil fuel divestment movement. What you may be less aware of is the work of Carbon Tracker Initiative (CTI), which provided the data for McKibben’s article. Ed King has an interesting essay at RTCC that provides the story of CTI and the response of the financial industry to their report on the need to keep fossil fuels in the ground.
As we contemplate the consequences of a warming world, one concern with severe economic consequences is the rate and magnitude of sea level rise. Melting of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica is an important contributor to sea level rise. Unfortunately, our knowledge about ice sheet collapse is still too limited for accurate projections, although new research is increasing our understanding. Chris Mooney at the Washington Post summarizes recent research on this important topic.
In an effort to help us get to know the people who are working for global change on the climate issue, Elizabeth Kolbert has profiled Christiana Figueres, who heads the Secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the organization convening the Paris Conference in December.

Where we are about watching the fish eat, the fight of the fish, and the angling experience.
Come enjoy world class saltwater fly fishing and light tackle (sight fishing with a baitcaster or spinning rod) fishing for Monster Redfish, Tarpon, Black Drum, and Sharks with Captain Jason Catchings.
We offer world class fly fishing trips in the state of Louisiana! We go where the fish are biting and where the water is clean. We offer year around fly fishing and sight fishing with baitcaster/spinning rod fishing trips for Monster Redfish, Tarpon, Sharks, and Black Drum. The fishing destinations include Sabine Lake, Hopedale, Breton Sound, Biloxi Marsh, Venice, Louisiana and Lake Calcasieu (Big Lake).
We’re on a mission to share our passion, obsession, and experience the excitement of catching monster redfish while fly fishing or sight fishing. We want to give the world the opportunity to catch truly giant redfish in the 20 to 40 pound range while fly fishing or sight fishing in 3 feet of water or less.
There is no better place to catch giant redfish than Louisiana!
We fly fish and sight fish year around for redfish in the marshes South of New Orleans. The redfishing takes place around Hopedale, Louisiana and Delacroix, Louisiana. We also fly fish or sight fish for redfish in the vast marshes in Venice, Louisiana and Calcasieu, Louisiana.
Louisiana Redfishing is great year around. Redfishing in Louisiana from March to October consist of fishing in the vast interior marsh ponds and bays. This is a great time of the year to catch numbers of redfish in the 4 to 12 pound range. From October to February in Louisiana redfishing means monster redfish in the 20 to 40 pound range. We are looking at catching only 4 to 6 fish a day. This is because we are fishing for monster redfish in very shallow water. They do not get this big by being dumb.
In late fall, schools of redfish show up by the thousands in the mazes of lagoons, bays and bayous that make up the Louisiana coast, fattening up for the winter months.
Let Jason Catchings and his team of expert, licensed captains introduce you to this region’s incredible fishing for monster redfish, numerous redfish in the 4 to 12 pound range, huge black drum, and monster speckled trout.
You’ll fish from modern skiffs equipped with poling and elevated casting platforms, sight-casting to big, feeding fish in knee-deep water. We only sight fish – no blind casting. And to top it off, the marsh areas that we fish are true wilderness areas, where you rarely see another boat, much less another fisherman!
Depending on whether you stay at one of the hotels in the French Quarter or at one of our lodges the day will determine the plan for the day. We recommend that you stay in one of the hotels, because there is a great night life and world class restaurants at your door steps. It also allows us to be more versatile in where we go fishing and gives you the angler the best opportunity to catch fish.
On the day of the trip, our guides will pick you up after breakfast or will take you to a local eatery if you desire, and you’ll ride to the launch together. The drive will be spent talking about the plan for the day, which typically lasts 7 to 10 hours, depending on sunlight, wind, and water conditions. We do not leave working fish. We will stop on the way to eat breakfast, if you haven’t done so already, and we will pick up sandwiches as well. Fall and winter trips will usually begin around 8 a.m. at the launch (we will pick you up around 6:30 a.m.), this gives the water time to warm up after being cool over night. During the spring and late summer months, trips will start a little earlier in order to get to the fishing in before the water gets too hot.
We provide all the gear: rods, reels, flies and leaders. We encourage you to leave your equipment at home because of the hassle of flying and checking your gear. If you break or loose one of rods or reels you will be charged the full replacement cost of the equipment.
However, if you elect to bring your gear, we will work with you and if necessary, will make suggestions to assure a productive experience (our Checklist page). We can also provide spinning gear or baitcasters for those who don’t fly-fish. In fact, we have on occasion offered fly fishermen spinning gear or baitcasters to finish the day when conditions prohibited fly fishing.
Our philosophy is that the day belongs to the anglers. Guides are all about putting you on fish. We want to catch fish with a fly rod, but if you get tired or the wind is too strong, we keep fishing and will try something different. We simply use another method of fishing to finish the day. Satisfaction and opportunities are what the angler and the guide are both looking for, and we will make sure that happens!
We take fly fishing only and light-tackle trips from May 1st – October 1st in the most productive fisheries the states of Florida and Louisiana have to offer. We only use artificial lures or flies.
From the middle of May through the beginning of August, Jason Catchings travels up the coast of Florida with these fish. In September to October we chase tarpon in Louisiana out of Venice, The Chandeliers, and Breton Islands, and around the passes of the Mississippi River.
Contact us now to plan your world class Louisiana tarpon fly fishing adventure!

Item wanted can someone help!
Hey guys, I'm really in need of a KJW or Tanaka M700 hop up adjustment wheel. The one that sits on top of the scope rail. The G&G G96 one is too short so I'm in need of on of those. If you have one laying around or one that you don't need, please message me or respond. Thanks! I will pay!
Here is a few pictures of my G&G G96. Has 6.01 tightbore, falcon bucking, 2Roy vsr conversion, and of course an air rig.
I made this video recently on installing my 2Roy/Spartan Doctrine Vsr conversion kit into my G&G G96. This should help those of you who are new at this when it comes to installation. I don't show the drilling of the nozzle in the power bolt, but I will show before and after in order to explain how the procedure should be done. enjoy.
But soo expensive compared to most other airsoft optics.
Hey guys, I know that in real steel pistols, especially glocks as of late, have been using the micro red dot sights integrated into the slide through a milled out area. I'm wondering if any of you have ever thought of or tried this to their own pistols. If so, give me some feedback on how it went, or how you think it would go, or how you would do it yourself.
Yes that is what I did to my g96 barrel as well. I cut the barrel down to 20 inches and made a threaded adapter out of an m4 outer barrel extension.
I will happily test the regular barrel rounds through my air rigged kjw. I have a youtube channel, and I could make accuracy tests with those no hop rounds. youtube.com/fatsoftair Let this baby see some rounds!
Lol that's why I linked ehobbyasia because most us sites don't have them in stock.

Cancun, Q.R. – Health officials have reported 39 cases of Chikungunya in the state of Quintana Roo this past week, which is low when the current population of more than 1.5 million is taken into consideration.
Of the three most populated cities in the state — Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Chetumal – Cancun and Chetumal were the two cities reporting the highest amount of cases, according to Juan Lorenzo Ortegón Pacheco, Secretary of Health. In Chetumal, 17 cases were reported while Cancun reported five cases of Chikungunya. During the past week, there were no reported cases in Solidarity. Other cases were diagnosed in smaller municipalities around the state.
He says he believes the reason Solidarity has been without any reported cases for this past week is due to the success of the city’s fogging campaign.“In Solidarity, there have been zero cases. Since last year we have been reinforcing the fogging program in municipalities were there have been the highest reporting of cases,” he explained.
Chikungunya is spread by the same mosquitoes that transmit dengue.

CEBU CITY — Police operations on Christmas Day in the city brought in a total of P42.1 million worth of “shabu,” or crystal meth, and three suspects.
At the village of Basak Pardo, police seized at least P40.8 million worth of shabu from the house of Reji Abesia, 24, during a buy-bust operation.
Chief Insp. Henrix Bancoleta, who led the operation, said Abesia had rented a house in Basak Pardo believing his drug operations in the village would not be detected because the suspect was originally from the village of Pasil.
Abesia, according to Bancoleta, wanted to run his drug trade from a different village where he was not known.
“What he did not know was that we have been monitoring him for some time now,” Bancoleta said.
When agents found that Abesia had rented a house in Basak Pardo, Bancoleta said they just waited for the right timing before they launched the operation.
Abesia insisted he had not met with Lebron and communicated with the source only by phone.
Abesia claimed he got a weekly salary of only P2,500 from Lebron and had so far disposed of at least 50 kilograms of shabu.
A few hours after cornering Abesia, police also collared two drug personalities who yielded at least P1.3 million worth of shabu.
Arrested were Michael Ceniza, 39, and his live-in partner, Remelyn Fernandez, 33, both residents of Pasil village.
Police were targeting only Ceniza in the buy-bust operation, but his partner was found to be carrying a bigger amount of shabu.
Ceniza had yielded some P108,000 worth of shabu to police.
Abesia and Ceniza were detained at the San Nicolas police precinct, while Fernandez was locked up inside a jail of the Cebu City police office.

Every so often I'm asked why there are so few gear reviews here. The answer, as many people will know, is because I write gear reviews every month for The Great Outdoors magazine. This blog is for other stuff - anything I like as it's non-commercial.
This year there are changes to my reviews for The Great Outdoors. Under the direction of Daniel Neilson the Great Outdoors website is being expanded and amongst other changes it will feature more gear reviews and these will include ones that may not ever appear in the paper magazine and ones that will appear before they do in the paper magazine. As this development is new (and exciting) how it will work out exactly remains to be seen but it should mean that some of my gear reviews are available sooner online than they have been.
The first such reviews are online now and feature two packs - the Gossamer Gear Mariposa and Nigor Zero G. You can find the reviews here.
As a serial reader of The Backpacker's Handbook (3rd and 4th editions), this is great news! I noticed TGO online reviews are quite short (your two are longer than most), though I don't recall how the length compares to the magazine's reviews. I subscribed for a while but now the electronic version requires a tablet; I have a laptop (Apple).
Thanks Michael. Most of the TGO Online reviews are currently taken from comparative reviews in the magazine featuring 12 or more products which is why they are quite short. I should be doing longer individual reviews soon.
The digital edition is okay for a laptop.

When you arrive in Curaçao, the first thing you’ll notice is that you think you’ve found Europe. This, as it was to travelers of old, could be a bit of a confusing thing, especially if you’ve spent top-dollar to travel across the world and get away from it all. But that’s where the comparison ends because, in truth, you couldn’t really be further removed from it all.
Although Curaçao sits a small stretch of sea across from Venezuela, and is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands as well as the heart of the Dutch Caribbean, it has its own distinct culture, pace, and even its own language. Papiamentu is the local creole, developed by years of independent evolution on the island. Lucky for travelers, most islanders speak English, and many speak Dutch and Spanish.
One thing you won’t notice in Curaçao is a strong breeze. The island sits on the outside of what’s known as the Caribbean’s “hurricane zone,” meaning that you can book your trip in advance and know that there’s a good chance of encountering nice weather, even in times where the rest of the area is getting bombarded by waterfall rains and harsh winds.
A popular spot for cruise ships, Curaçao is also accessible by Hato International Airport, which takes in daily flights from Amsterdam and New Amsterdam, the latter of which is now known as New York. Once you arrive, you’ll be able to access dive sites via operators in and around Willemstad, the capital of the Netherlands Antilles.
Curaçao Marine Park offers some prime spots for diving. The southwestern side of the island is covered with reef and teeming with wildlife. Shore dives, boat dives in the bay, and wall dives fit for various skill levels can be found. Friendly operators and park workers are more than happy to point you in the right direction, and afterward there’s plenty more to do as well.
Make sure to stop by the famous floating market at Punta Side, which is a magnificent string of boats that come by selling fresh fish caught by Venezuelan fishermen and brought in daily. Another great option during the day, if you’re not diving or have kids with you but still want to check out marine life, is the Curaçao Sea Aquarium, which houses several species but is most famous for its dolphins.
Back to the southwestern coast of the island, there are about twenty different and unique beaches to choose from, with Habitat Beach being a popular one for people getting their foot in the door, or water rather, and getting into diving. It’s a learning center hosting places like DiveVersity, a popular certification center with an inclusive name that will take you on a good wreck dive, and the Habitat Dive Hotel. If you’re looking to be surrounded by like-minded people, this will be the place to go. Other than that, Kontiki Beach and Mambo Beach are popular spots to work on the next day’s hangover, and Barbara Beach is an exclusive, private beach with clean and barely touched sands.
If you head north on the island, you’ll find more, less populated reefs as well as a deep wall dive. Here tropical fish meet and bask in the safety of a clean, stable habitat. For divers, this means clear visibility and a relaxing trip down free of crowds. While everything is only a short trip from the city, out here it feels possible to truly get lost in the wilderness and enjoy oneself away from it all. Not that Willemstad is a bustling metropolis, but for those looking to take that extra step, the north of the island is the trip for you.
No matter where you find yourself, find solace in the fact that clear waters await, good times are to be had, and from a tank on your back to a drink in your hand, Curaçao is going to show you a good time.

Here at State In The Real, we would like to take a moment, during this busy thanksgiving holiday, to appreciate all of the songs that each of us is thankful for. Take a moment to read about which songs we chose and why we are thankful for them. Then, have a listen to the playlist.
Eric Dowling – For this year, I am thankful for “Wonderful Everyday” by chance the rapper. I am thankful for it because it brings a sense of nostalgia to a genre that is conceived of being about drugs and women, and this song celebrates the greatness of life.
Ben Rappaport – For this year (and every year), I’m thankful for “Runaway” by Kanye West. I am thankful for it because everyone needs a time to reflect on themselves and listening to “Runaway” allows you to look deep within yourself and be consumed by a ballad that connects your emotions to your actions. Also pianos in rap songs are dope.
Olivia Price – I’m thankful for “Fake Empire” by the National because it challenges listeners to view our generation from a third party perspective. It sheds light on how we distract ourselves with artificial, superfluous things to avoid thinking about the bigger issues. It was really eye-opening for me the first time I heard it, and it still reminds me to value the finer things in life.
Cris Gutierrez – For this year, I am thankful for “Take Me To Church” by Hozier. With music becoming more and more superficial, Hozier is one of the few remaining bright spots. He embodies what music is all about and he’s an artist full of passion. To put it simply, “Take Me To Church” is a work of art, the song is all about a perfect moment with someone you love, but not being able to truly express yourself with the influence of society’s judgment. This break, just be yourself and stand up for what’s right.
Stephanie Davis – I’m thankful for “Out Getting Ribs” by King Krule. Though it seems simple at first listen, the song has a hauntingly beautiful guitar tune and bittersweet lyrics about desire and longing. King Krule (aka Archy Marshall)’s creative genius at the young age of 20 & his unique combination of punk rock, jazz, and even some elements of hip-hop makes him, in my opinion, one of the most exciting artists in music right now.
Henry Ulysses Englert – I am thankful for “Clique” by Kanye West, ft. Big Sean and Jay-Z. This song is about true friendship, a thing Ye, Jay, b.i.g, and I value more than anything. But when I am not with them doing donuts in Ye’s orange Lambo Mercièlago, I also enjoy spending time with my poorer, more homely friends in the city. They are the real MVPs, as genuine, non-hating, dope azz, 03′ Honda Accord-owning people are hard to find in this crazy post-industrial world. My crew deeper than Wu Tang.
Jonathan Lui – Seahaven’s “On The Floor” is a song that I will always be thankful for. The whole composition of the song lends itself to a hauntingly sad atmosphere. While the subject matter may not be ground breaking, the band manages to uniquely describe the process of dealing with an unhealthy relationship/past through their lyrics. If you love yourself go listen to more Seahaven.
Tariq Rashid – I’m thankful for “Hold On, We’re Going Home” by Drake feat. Majid Jordan. This heartfelt Drizzy ballad has become a standard when I want to get in my feels. Everyone’s dealt with tender tale of seeing the potential in someone who people disregard as bad for you. You look past the criticism and through to love. I’m sniffling as a write this. Thank you Drake. I want this played at my wedding.
Emily Foster – LCD Soundsystem’s “All of my Friends” is a song I am always thankful for. The song accuratey represents what it’s like to be at this weird transitional stage in life. I can listen to it no matter if I’m happy, sad, confused and it still somehow explains what I’m feeling.
Aizya McGee – I’m thankful for “Clouds” by One Direction, and their whole album really. It never fails to put me in a good mood, and sometimes I like upbeat pop music to be playing in the background of everything I do (homework, driving, procrastinating). Plus, their first album came out my freshman year, so it’s like they’ve grown with me these past three/four years. Or something.
Collin Edgar-Smith – I’m thankful for “They Want My Soul” by Spoon. The title track from their latest album, this song takes a jab at shallow people living hollow lives. Britt Daniel provides a much needed check for a music scene overpopulated by soulless, educated folk singers.
Leya Ramer – As I look forward to the next month and my impending graduation in December, I am thankful for the song “Drinking Class” by Lee Brice. This song reminds me of my roots and how hard my family has worked to allow me to get where I am today. Not to mention the drum piece in this song is killer.

Content marketing sits at the intersection of social media, search engine optimization (SEO), CRM, media, creative design and copywriting. It requires an integrated approach that weaves together each of these practices. This series will help you develop a content marketing strategy in three stages: content planning, content creation and content promotion.
How will content marketing achieve our business goals?
What is our brand truth or main message that every piece of communication much represent?
What problem does our brand/product solve for our target audience?

Some moments are born of the convergence of the right people, the right place and the right time and the irrepressible presence of the Spirit. That was the catalytic experience of Generation 2008 at Huron University College in June of this year. This event – the first of its kind in Canada – was a national gathering of clergy, laity, youth and elders – anyone involved in ministry with youth in the Anglican Church. The purpose was to Equip, Empower and Renew those involved in ministry with youth in any capacity, whether that is the parish, through chaplaincy, at camps or at the regional or diocesan level.
It may well be that these five days will be seen in years to come as a moment that changed the church.
When I was young and studying science, I learned that a catalyst is an agent which causes seemingly inert elements to come together and unleashes their collective potential. My first encounter with 'catalysts' came in elementary school, I remember an experiment where we had to set fire to a sugar cube. By itself, it would not burn. When we rubbed ash on the sugar cube and set a match to it, it burst into flame.
The elements of Generation 2008 were renowned guest speakers, a broad range of interactive workshops, a schedule with a great diversity of activities to challenge and inspire and, most importantly, one hundred and sixty passionate participants. They ranged in age from sixteen to seventy-five and came from all provinces and twenty-seven dioceses. As a national gathering this was second only to General Synod in its size and representation from across the Anglican Church. The catalyst must have been the Spirit as the outcomes of this conference surpassed everyone's expectations, participants and planning team alike.
rofessor of youth formation and culture both gave challenging plenary talks. Thirty workshops led by Canadian, British and American youth ministry professionals spanned such topics as Engaging Youth with the Gospel, How to teach so kids will learn, Transformational Ministry, Creative Liturgy, Multicultural ministry, Sexuality and Spirituality and both participating in and learning how to guide youth in a variety of spiritual practices. Supporting activities included group African drumming and dancing (have you ever heard 130 Djembe drums playing at once?) and community-based learning through active sessions and small groups. Huron's Dr. Jay Koyle coordinated creative liturgies throughout the week that were both worship experiences and learning opportunities. Huron staff member Judy Steers (the program director of Ask & Imagine) led the planning team made up of youth ministry professionals from many dioceses. This group met together for over a year prior to the conference to put together the overall program. The conference was born out of our collective and creative dreams about how Huron can continue to meet the needs of the wider church for leadership development and formation for ministry.
One of the highlights of the conference was a day given over to an Open Space. During this time, the agenda is turned over to the participants to host conversations on anything they wanted to talk about and they certainly had an avalanche of conversation ideas. Consultant Brian Lisson explained the “open space” concept (as a “semi-organized, perpetual coffee break”), then people hopped up to the microphone to introduce their topics: youth ministry in rural parishes, contemplative prayer, youth ministry mentoring, camping ministry and many more.
At the end of the conference, after a stirring exhortation from the Primate, Archbishop Fred Hiltz, a group of participants collaborated to write A Word to the Church. The text of this call to commitment to our youth is on the side bar of this article.
This may have been the first, but clearly it will not be the last gathering to Equip, Empower and Renew those engaged in youth ministry. Huron's ongoing leadership in this area, including the Ask & Imagine youth theology programs and seminary courses are truly renewing and empowering the ministry of the wider Anglican Church.

I absolutely could not agree more. The Generation 2008 experience was without a doubt something that my spirit and my worldview needed desperately. If I could thank each and every person who had a hand in it, I would, because I really and truly believe that it was exactly as you said: a situation where the right people, were in the right place, at the right time.
Great, but perhaps the writer of the piece should be notified that “Canon” is a title, not a first name!

Very soon I am going to want to do a few posts on how to tell if you are deficient in certain vitamins and minerals and how best to correct those deficiencies through good nutrition and herbal therapy. I thought it might be helpful to talk about vitamin supplementation in general first though to give you a little background. If you have walked into any drugstore or health food store all the little bottles lining the shelves with every vitamin, mineral, and enzyme know to man can be a little overwhelming to say the least. What is the best supplement for vitamin C, folic acid, iron, or lactase??
Nutrients such as vitamins and minerals do not exist in a vacuum in our bodies. They all work with other nutrients and perform complex chemical reactions to build new tissue, heal our bodies and keep organ systems functioning. My daughter recently drew a picture of the inside of the human body based on her perception. She drew a stomach with an elevator that went up to the mouth. When the stomach was full the elevator stopped working and there you have it. Very funny! Sometimes I think the supplement industry would have us believe that our bodies are just that fragmented. As if the body has various storage units for vitamins and minerals and when say our magnesium unit is empty; we just drop in a magnesium tablet and there you go. Rudolph Ballentine, MD says in his book Diet and Nutrition: A Holistic Approach that "We have created a bizarre situation in which our food is fragmented and sold to us in bits and pieces so that we are faced with the impossible task of trying to reassemble what amounts to a biochemical Humpty Dumpty." The real story is that in order to assimilate one nutrient several other nutrients are needed. Let me give you an example. Did you know that magnesium is much more effective when taken with vitamin C? Oranges, lemons, grapefruits and green leafy vegetables are all rich in vitamin C and magnesium. Zinc is much more effective when in the presence of phosphorus and foods such as sunflower seeds, brazil nuts and peanuts are rich in both. You see where I'm going with this...just taking a single nutrient supplement does not ensure proper absorption and use of that nutrient in the same way that eating a whole food does.
Through my study of nutrition and naturopathy, I would first recommend eating eat a well-balanced diet of whole foods. If you are experiencing symptoms that correspond with a deficiency of a vitamin or mineral, first research what foods are rich in that vitamin or mineral. Next, take a look at herbs and see if there is one that is particularly high in that nutrient. Herbs can be made into tea, added to smoothies, or sprinkled on a salad. Lastly, look for supplements in a health food store that are whole food supplements or made from herbal sources. I like to follow a good, better, best philosophy when making any changes for the benefit of your health. In this circumstance, good would be changing from synthetic vitamins (what is that stuff?) to a natural vitamin. Better would be changing to a bottled whole food or herbal supplement. Just read the label and see what the main ingredients are. Best would be eating high quality food or herbs rich in the nutrients that you need.

“Hops are a wicked and pernicious weed” -Henry VI. Good ol’ King Hank banned hops back in the day, so the good folks at Wicked Weed are taking the best kind of revenge: brewing delicious, delicious beer. I tried their Saison XXXI—it was a little bitter, but full of flavor. Not surprisingly, their hoppiest beers were the ones we liked best.
All of the bars we visited in Asheville had great outdoor spaces—patios, rooftops, porches. Barley’s had neat little bars set up on the sidewalk, so you could sit along the street and do a bunch of people-watching. Their vibe was a little sportier, but they had a wide array of local brews and some mean garlic knots. I tried Highland Brewing Company‘s Gaelic Ale—so refreshing!
Everyone we talked to absolutely raved about Thirsty Monk, so it was a sure addition to our crawl itinerary. Tuesdays are Taco Tuesday, so we started with some absolutely killer tacos, and followed up with selections from their impressive Belgian beer list. The Ommegang Three Philosophers was probably the best beer I’ve had all year.
Towards the end of the night, we headed towards LaB, which we’d seen on our way back from dinner the night before (at Brasilia Churrasco Steakhouse—great food, great service). LaB had a sweet front porch area, and their Honey Wheat was an excellent way to finish out a long night of beer tastings.
Turns out some weren’t as ready to tap out as I was, so we really finished at The Yacht Club, right across from Thirsty Monk. It cost $1 to join the club, which had a groovy tiki-bar meets biker-bar kind of atmosphere. They snagged another beer, but I ordered a pitcher of tater tots, which, surprise surprise, was an actual beer pitcher of tots.
Of course this is just a sampling. Got other places you recommend? Leave a note in the comments!

ISSAQUAH, WA, Oct 10, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST) announced today its operating results for the 16 weeks (fourth quarter) and the 52 weeks (fiscal year) ended September 2, 2007, and its September sales results.
Net sales for the 16-week fourth quarter ended September 2, 2007, increased 3%, to $20.09 billion from $19.50 billion during the 17-week fourth quarter ended September 3, 2006. Comparable warehouse sales during the 16-week fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 increased 5% over the comparable 16-week period in the prior fiscal year.
Net sales for fiscal 2007, the 52 weeks ended September 2, 2007, were $63.09 billion, an increase of 7% from $58.96 billion during the prior 53-week fiscal year ended September 3, 2006. Comparable warehouse sales increased 6% over the comparable 52-week period of the prior year.
Net income for the 16-week fourth quarter was $372.4 million, or $.83 per diluted share, compared to $355.6 million, or $.75 per diluted share, during the 17-week fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. Earnings per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 represent an 11% increase over the fiscal 2006 fourth quarter results. The fiscal year 2007 fourth quarter results were negatively affected by a non-recurring, non-cash pre-tax charge of $56.2 million ($35.8 million, or $.08 per share, after-tax) to increase the Company's deferred membership revenue liability (and reduce membership fee revenue). Excluding this charge, fourth quarter net income would have been $408.2 million, or $.91 per share, representing a 21% increase over last year's fourth quarter earnings.
According to Costco's Chief Financial Officer, Richard Galanti, "Historically, membership fee revenue was recognized using a 'monthly' convention starting from the month the membership payment was received. We are now recognizing membership fees using a 'daily' convention, based on the specific membership terms and timing of payments. The net cash flow effect to the Company is slightly positive, due to a reduction of current income taxes payable of approximately $20 million."
Net income for fiscal 2007 was $1.08 billion, or $2.37 per diluted share, compared to $1.10 billion, or $2.30 per diluted share, during fiscal year 2006. Excluding the adjustment to membership fee revenue, outlined above, as well as the following items recorded in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2007: (i) a $95.3 million non-cash pre-tax charge ($48.1 million taken in the second quarter and $47.2 million taken in the third quarter) related to revisions to the reserve for estimated sales returns; (ii) a pre-tax charge of $47.3 million associated with reducing adverse income tax consequences to our employees arising from the review of stock options by a special committee of the Board of Directors; and (iii) a $10.1 million pre-tax benefit primarily to merchandise costs for an excise tax refund on prior merchandise sales of phone cards, net income for the 2007 fiscal year would have been $1.20 billion, or $2.63 per diluted share, representing a 14% increase in earnings per share over the prior fiscal year.
Costco currently operates 520 warehouses, including 385 in the United States and Puerto Rico, 71 in Canada, 19 in the United Kingdom, five in Korea, four in Taiwan, six in Japan and 30 in Mexico. The Company also operates Costco Online, an electronic commerce web site, at www.costco.com and at www.costco.ca in Canada. The Company plans to open an additional ten to eleven new warehouses (including the relocation of two warehouses to larger and better-located facilities) prior to the end of calendar year 2007.

This is Guru Yotam! We met him at Harbin Hot Springs in Northern California, and he has some beautiful information he would like to share with you about breathing!
If you liked this video and would like to see more of Yotam, leave a message and maybe he can make a return!
ps i am 8 years old and i love spirit science thank you.
Yeah! Thank you for sharing Yotam!
Love and peace for you, from my heart!
Rare, Guru Yotam! You are so connected in this video, its divine. Sending out thoughts to the universe, whishing to see more clips like this, so close to you….soon!
Thank you ever so much for this video! You make it sound all so simple. I’m so tense and have been trying breathing techniques unsuccessully for so long it’s not even funny. YOU made me realise that I was trying too hard, making it too complicated.
I shared this video to one of my colleagues. She said that she felt happy from it. And well I do as well.
Thank you! Looking forward to more wisdom from Guru Yotam.
Great video. Learning to breathe properly always helps when I’m in a tough situation.
By the way, when you shared that tip, channeled, It was the most incredible thing ive ever seen here. As a channeler it was soo cool to watch someone else channel :D I loved it.

Pour the Guinness into a large wide saucepan, add the margarine – in slices – and heat until the marg is melted, whisk in the cocoa and sugar. Beat the sour cream with the eggs and vanilla and then pour into the liquid in the saucepan, finally whisk in the flour and bicarb.
Pour the cake mix into the greased and lined tin and bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Leave to cool completely in the tin on a cooling rack.
Do you taste the guinness? My gang might not be too keen on that taste but it looks delicious.
Hi Tric, no you can’t really taste it. It tastes more like a very moist chocolate cake. It’s also much nicer when it’s warm – more like a pudding than a cake.
I made this a couple of Paddy’s Days back, and it came out pretty yummy – according to my official taste testers, that is. I think if I made it again, I’d use this recipe instead of the one I’d used initially, as this one uses a bit less Guinness, bit less flour but a bit more chocolate – as good as mine did come out and tasted fine, I thought it was just a bit too heavy / dense.
I think I might have to give it a go again, sooner rather than later. Today would’ve been the perfect and most appropriate day for it, but I wasn’t feeling the best, and just wasn’t up to baking (or cooking).
Next time, though, I’ll use this recipe and let you know how it came out. Thanks for sharing the recipe. 🙂 Now I want a slice…with some tay.
I made this for our St. Patrick’s Day dinner using the cream cheese frosting. It is a dense, moist and rich cake and went well with a cup of hot tea or coffee. It is so easy to make. You need one bowl to mix the sour cream and the pot to warm the Guinness. No sifting, or half or split measures just measure and mix. I have a food processor so making the frosting was a snap and because I left the cream cheese out over night I needed almost no cream to make the frosting spreadable. We will be enjoying this recipe again. It will be a nice treat to take visiting and again so easy to make.

Thank you Ronni for your excellent customer service! I received my order today (very fast shipping!) and everything was perfect! I love the mini acorns, just what I needed to finish my wreaths. I will definitely be back!
I have just recieved a $3.00 refund on postage from this honest & genuine seller. In our New Zealand dollars that is $4.51 & does make a difference to my budget so thanks so much for that! I am looking forward to recieving my littles goodies.
I received my order and everything was perfect! I truly appreciate the personal service and I will definitely order from you again!
I'm not only impressed with the products of this store, but Ronni and her customer service is top-notch! I've ordered many times here and each time was professional the the products excellent. You won't be disappointed here. I wish all retail experiences were like TRS. Thank you so much for caring about the product and customer service! I will be back!
I ordered several glass miniatures from Timber Ridge Studio, and not only did I receive my order, but the delivery was very fast, and I got e-mails for both confirmation and the send out.
The items were exactly what I wanted. This site is great for finding miniature bases that you can add your own touch to.
Also, I found an unexpected mini mug with my other purchases. At first I thought it was a mistake, but no. It was a gift sent with the other things, no doubt an attempt to butter me up.
Well, the attempt succeeded marvelously as I sincerely hope to be a repeat customer!
I stumbled upon this website through hours of searching for sand dollars small enough to use in my current project, and couldn't believe that not only did I find the perfect size, but I didn't have to order 50 in bulk to get just a few. My order has arrived and the micro sand dollars are exactly the size I was hoping for! Additionally, the order was prompt, the shells well-packed, and the sender emailed me directly upon sending the package out. The nicest surprise was in finding a refund for the difference in the charged shipping and the actual shipping cost. What an stand-up seller! I hope to make more orders in the future.
I make A2 size greeting cards and ordered a sample of a lot of the different sea shells to see which ones would work best. I loved seeing the really beautiful TINY shells that you can't buy locally. The quality was 1st Rate and I will order again from Ronnie. Quick shipping too!
Thank you so much for the prompt shipping! I love the little bitty shells and sea creatures. Since I am in a land locked state, it's great to have a good source for these items. All the little pieces are perfect - even the ones considered "imperfect!"
Ronnie, Thank you for our order.
We love our tiny shells !
You were very generous with our servings.
You are now our go to " shell " person.

Small business Entrepreneurs regularly struggle with their SEO. You have your business, your clients, and now your website requests attention also.
In this article, I will discuss few improvement any Small business entrepreneur can do without getting help from anyone else. It will cost you time, and effort. Utilize this article as a checklist for your small business SEO.
We should begin with the most critical one: be practical about what you can rank for and so forth. Deal with your expectations. In the event that your competitors are big organizations with enormous market spending plans, you will most likely not going to rank number one for your main keyword. Go for specific keywords instead of the high-end keyword.
Set aside some time to discover the keywords that suit your business best. Perceive how you can separate yourself from others, and concentrate on that. This additionally incorporates concentrating on longer tail keywords. That conveys me to my next tip.
Don’t keyword stuff your site with your location name. In the event that you truly need to rank locally, attempt to incorporate the city name in a way that suits well. Furthermore, get some local links to your site. That will as of now help you.
Utilize Twitter account effectively, set up your Facebook page and look after it. Add your business to Google Business and ensure your opening hours are listed out properly. You can go for some sites like Yelp or Trip Advisor. They have their advertisers working every day. At last, it doesn’t make a difference if individuals discover your business through sites like Yelp or Google.
If you have a new website, new business, and new products then Contact your local daily paper. Try not to underestimate the reach these local news organizations have. Individuals read this newspaper. On the off chance that you have anything newsworthy, please contact these distributors and check whether they can help you to advance your business offline.
Make buzz around your shop, for example by requesting that individuals leave a review on Google Business or Yelp. 500 likes on Facebook? Give number 500 a coupon for your shop, on the web or offline. Have a deal for a particular brand? You could consider advancing it online as it were. Supporting a local event and make sure specific landing page is linked.
If you need to rank, simply including a blog, articles or opening circumstances won’t be sufficient. You ought to include pages with alleged evergreen content. These pages have content that won’t terminate at any point in the near future. Evergreen content can be at the highest point of your keyword. This content can be the strong base of your websites.
The most effortless approach to keep your clients (and others) on top of it about your products and offerings is by adding a blog post to your site. That blog will fuel your online networking and bulletin, so it’s a significantly extensive tool and you will discover your way in this without a doubt.
By including the local links to your sites you will grow your local system and make a chance to get important back links. Because of these local backlinks, Google will comprehend your geographical positioning.
For most of the small business websites, the primary objective is to connect with your potential clients. The least complex approach to making this completely clear is by adding your contact details to each page. It doesn’t make a difference if that is in the footer or sidebar incidentally. Include your telephone number or an email id with the goal that individuals can contact you in the easiest way that is available.
You need to remember that for somebody that finds your shop online, to begin with, it makes a difference what that shop resembles. Your site is the online substitution for window shopping. Ensure individuals feel welcome, and are attracted to purchase your products or services on the web.
Hope you got an idea about the 11 ways of improvement that is essential for your small business SEO. Share this article with your friends and subscribe for latest updates.
