Examination of balloons
Do you have problems at the receipt of diagnostic map or raising (removal) can't be carried out on an account?
Does your car have gas balloon equipment?
Are balloons refused to fill on priming?
Does the term of examination of balloons end?
Is there no place officially to pressurize balloons in Moscow?
We will work out your problems!
Many users of gas balloon equipment know that balloons of LPG (propane and butane) installed in their cars, must be examined every two years. But many of them don't know what it is and think this is just a formality. It is a big mistake because a tested balloon guarantees safety in the use of gas balloon equipment and eliminates the problems described above.
JSC MGPZ provides services for examination and hydraulic test of balloons as well as engages in service of gas balloon equipment.
In contrast to other companies, we have the certificate of RTN and the personal stamp giving the right to provide such services.
Also, we provide services of examination for filling balloons of propane, methane, oxygen, helium, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, welding mixtures.
Technical examination of balloons without a stamp is not actual.
• certification of automobile balloons for filling LPG (propane and butane) is held 1 time in 2 years;
• certification of automobile balloons made of alloyed steel for filling CNG -1 time in 5 years;
• certification of automobile balloons made of carbon steel for filling CNG - 1 time in 3 years;
• certification for balloons made of carbon steel should be carried out 1 time in 5 years;
• certification of balloons installed permanently, filled with inert gases – 1 time in 10 years;
• certification of monoblock – 1 time in 10 years.
The procedure for examination of balloons
1. Preparation of balloons
First of all, balloons surfaces, admitted for examination, are cleaned up from dirt, are washed with water. Then balloons are released from the gas and its non-evaporable residues, the block of armature is dismantled and, if it's necessary, the degassing of balloons is carried out with steam under pressure not less than 0.04 MPa. The internal surface of the balloon is cleaned up from dirt, corrosion products, fatty and oily stains, is washed with water.
2. Inspection of the outward and internal surfaces of balloons
The inspection of surface is performed in order to identify defects such as chip, crack, blight, shabbiness, dent that reduce durability of balloons. All the outward and internal surfaces, welded joints, necks are exposed to inspection (except for balloons up to 55 liters for LPG).
The balloon is unfit for use if:
• there are cracks, corrosion and other damages to the depth of 10% of the nominal wall thickness on the surface;
• welded joints of balloons have cracks;
• there are dents or other deformation of the frame.
3. Hydraulic testing
The hydraulic testing of steel balloons is conducted in order to verify the durability of balloons. The balloon is filled with room temperature water (in order to avoid condensation on the walls of the balloon). The balloon is loaded with water under pressure a half times greater of the working and maintained at this pressure for 2 minutes (if another time is not envisaged in the passport of balloons). Then, pressure is reduced to the working and hold an inspection of balloons surfaces and welded joints. If deformations of the frame, leaks, cracks, and other are detected, this balloon is excluded. The internal surface of the balloon is dried up after the hydraulic testing .
The stamp of organization is putted on the neck of balloon after all tests and the date of current and next examination is beaten out. Then the balloon is painted in the color of the filled gas, marked, dries.
JSC MGPZ possesses all necessary equipment and qualification of employees to provide high exactness and quality of examination.
After realization of the technical examination of balloons, installed in cars, our client is given:
• the certificate " To realization of periodic tests of gas balloon equipment installed in cars ";
• the evidence confirming the right to provide this service.
Remember that your life and the lives of people around you depend on it.

How to give an orgasm with your fingers is a skill you should master. Women absolutely love the kind of pleasure men can give them with their fingers. (Ladies click here)
How to give an orgasm with your fingers is a skill you should master. Women absolutely love the kind of pleasure men can give them with their fingers. (Ladies click here)
Fingers are the best way to complement oral sex for women; however, fingering can be also the main "course" in the menu!
Either you use it to complement cunnilingus or you make it the main focus, fingering is so much more than just sticking your fingers inside her vagina!
So, let's check out how to blow her mind with your fingers!
1. First of all make sure she's wet. She should be already if you have been giving her oral; if you're just going to finger her, lots of foreplay would probably do the job, if not, use lubricant.
Choose a water-based lubricant if you're planning to use a condom afterwards because the oil-based ones break the latex.
2. Either you have been giving her oral or not as part of the pre-fingering foreplay, make sure you don't just jam your finger in there right away, take your time to explore all her vulva first.
Remember, you're not an inexperienced teenager anymore... Right? ;)... Then, don't behave like one!
The more time you take building anticipation the more chances you have to give her orgasms.
Caress her labia and gently rub the clitoral hood in circular motions before inserting your fingers. Tease her and increase stimulation to make her want your fingers inside of her so bad.
3. Now, slide your finger in and out of her vagina slowly and gently. At first, you can keep your finger straight, and use it to press on the walls of her vaginal canal or to go deep inside.
4. Then, use one of the favorite fingering moves. Slide the tip of your finger in and out of her vaginal canal about ½ an inch; you can even move your fingertips in circles to trace the outer rim of her vagina.
Women love this because the first inch or so of the vagina is jam-packed with pleasure inducing nerves. You can twist your finger as you go in and out as well – this creates a wonderful sensation that carries throughout the entire vaginal canal.
5. While stimulating her with one, two or even three fingers inside her vagina, depending on what she likes (contrary to the popular believe, most women prefer only one)... Use your thumb outside to stimulate her clitoris using circular motions.
You can concentrate only on her clit to make her orgasm, or take it to the next step stimulating her G-spot as well.
You can also choose to give her a clitoral orgasm first, and then concentrate on the G-spot or stimulate both at the same time and blow her mind!
This would take a little bit more of practice because is not always easy to coordinate your fingers to move in different ways at the same time, but is possible!
6. If you choose to give her a clitoral orgasm first, take out your fingers out of her and concentrate on her clitoris. Your index and middle finger will work the best here.
Remember that her clitoral head is very sensitive and shouldn't be stimulated directly before a proper clitoral warm up. This is especially true when it comes to using your fingers because they are rougher than your tongue.
Therefore, stimulate first her clitoral hood with circular movements to prepare the clit head for more direct stimulation with up and down and sideways movements.
Pay attention to what excites her the most, and when you have found that specific movement stick with it, and increase the speed to make her orgasm.
Women absolutely love clitoral orgasms with fingers and with the tongue. Also, this type of orgasm are probably the easier to get, so once you have given your woman a clitoral orgasm first, is easier for her to have a G-spot orgasm next, either by fingering or penetration.
7. After you stimulate her clit and/or give her a clitoral orgasm, you can then move to stimulate the G-Spot.
Insert your middle finger about 2 inches inside her vaginal canal, and look for a kind of rough bean-shaped spot on the top of her vagina.
This is her G-spot! Now, go ahead and bend your finger and make a repetitive "come here" movement. Start slowly, and gradually increase the pressure and speed until you make her to orgasm.
While stimulating her G-spot with your middle finger, you can keep stimulating her clit with your thumb by doing circular motions. Actually, with practice and coordination you can even aim to give her a simultaneous clitoral and G-spot orgasm! This will definitely blow her mind!
Remember that you can always combine fingering with oral sex to add variety. When you choose to do it, stimulate her clit with your tongue instead of with your thumb, while stimulating her G-spot with your fingers; this would definitely drive her crazy!
Always make sure your fingernails are clean and trimmed well with no hangnails. Hangnails and jagged fingernails can cause small cuts inside your partner's vagina making the experience extremely unpleasant.
Don't forget to always mix and match to add variety to your couple's sex life, and make sure you pay attention to her reactions to find out what she likes and how she likes it the most.
If you want to master fingering, the source that I recommend you to look at is called: Naughty Fingers by Gabrielle Moore.
This is by far the best fingering guide that I have found that teaches men pretty much everything you guys need to know about pleasing your woman with your fingers, including a variety of the best fingering techniques. Go ahead and take a look at it here.

In the mornin' when we rise,
In the mornin' when we rise,

Hank Phillippi Ryan: The WHAT YOU SEE Interview
What You See brings back the characters of investigative reporter Jane Ryland and Detective Jake Brogan. With multiple storylines, including murder, child abduction, and treachery, readers come to understand the workings of a crime scene. In this ripped-from-her-own-headlines thriller, real-life reporter Ryan explores the terrifying realities of today's constant surveillance and the dire consequences to those unwittingly in the spotlight. Also explored are the characters loyalties, having to decide between family and their career.
Elise Cooper: Your quote, "If the good guys quit, who'd be left?" It sounded a lot like what Sharyl Attkisson went through." Can you explain?
Hank Phillippi Ryan: I've been a TV investigative reporter for over forty years, and definitely think of myself as a good guy. I define that as someone seeking justice each and every day, who tries to change the world, standing up for the little guy, and trying to make the system work. I think my thirty-three Emmys prove what good a hard-working journalist can do! And I always think my next big story is still to come. It's difficult! And there's a lot of pressure. But the "good guys" have to persevere.
EC: Do you think journalism has changed today?
HPR: Well, sure. Like everything else, right? Increasingly these days with the 24-hour news and the perception that people's attention spans are shorter, there's a lot of pressure to do stories that shorter, and as a result, cannot be as in-depth. Reporters who are "old school" sometimes feel defeated by that change. Some may be frustrated that they're not getting the airtime for their stories. I look at it a bit differently—when the world changes, as it inevitably will, we figure out a way to do the very best we can with what we have. So I'm still fascinated and intrigued with making my stories as meaningful and important as they can be—even if they are a bit shorter. We also—because the world has changed—can put additional information on the web. So it all works out.
EC: Do you see a bias with journalists today?
HPR: I think the public needs to understand the difference between opinion and facts. And I think most people do! A reporter, one that you've referred to as a "true journalist," must be careful not to let any bias show, and there is a skill to writing an objective story. When a reporter says "unfortunately or sadly"—sometimes I wonder even about that! The pressure of instant news—going on the air instantly—can make it difficult.
EC: Is Jane Ryland your alter ego?
HPR: No, but writing her is an absolute dream come true. In my TV reporting I can only report the fact of the story, and cannot say how I feel. But writing about Jane allows me to put you inside her internal dialogue, and allows the reader to understand how a reporter thinks and processes a situation. So it's a treat for me to see the world through Jane's eyes—using my own experience to make it authentic—and the power of imagination to create a suspenseful realistic story.
EC: How would you describe Jane?
HPR: Jane's smart, savvy, and successful—and just beginning her career in journalism as a reporter in Boston. She is so honorable and such a justice seeker! But sometimes her ethics get in the way. She has quit jobs and left employment because she would not compromise her principles. She's even chosen honor over a paycheck. She is funny, compassionate, caring, benevolent, brave, tough, and determined. I adore her—and cannot wait to find out what happens to her.
EC: Can you compare Jane with your other series character, Charlotte McNally?
HPR: Charlotte is twenty years older and paved the way for Jane. They are both TV reporters in Boston, and I'll admit, okay, she is my alter ego. There is a lot of me in her: an older, experienced devoted journalist, who's also a bit worried about what happens when the TV camera doesn't love her anymore. That's the reality of television, and for women in every realm of our working world. Writing the Charlotte McNally books allows me to explore that.
In my latest book, What You See (a Library Journal Best of 2015!) there is a secret moment with Jane and Charlotte. (I did that as a little Easter egg for readers—see if you can find it!) Jane looks up to Charlotte, even though they are competitors. You asked if I consider myself Jane's mentor—well, no. She's a contemporary woman in TV—so she's going to have her own experiences that influence her decisions. As her author, I can use my experience to make Jane's story have more context. That's the fun of writing a character who has a job like mine—but who isn't me!
EC: Is Detective Jake Brogan similar in personality to Jane?
HPR: Yes. They both are honorable, determined, search for the truth, and believe in justice.
EC: Is there a conflict of interest between Jane, a reporter, and her boyfriend, Jake, a detective?
HPR: In real life there must be a hard line between a law enforcement officer and a reporter—each has a job to do, and each have to protect their interests, their information, and their investigations. But Jake and Jane sometimes cross that line. So what I love about my books is that Jane and Jake in their professional lives are incredibly honorable, but in their personal lives their passion has sometimes overruled their professionalism. Throughout all the books they are trying to figure out how to deal with that ongoing struggle. What will happen to their relationship or how they will deal with it going forward? I have no idea. It'll be fun to find out.
EC: You have quotes about the mother/daughter relationship. Please explain.
HPR: In What You See, the quote, "Geographically, her daughter was inches away. Emotionally? Right now, Catherine didn't have time to fix it. Across an endless universe of misunderstanding and sorrow," has daughter Tenley and her mother Catherine on opposite sides of Tenley's bedroom door. And they are arguing. The mother is trying to understand her daughter and protect her—and is having difficulty finding the words to do that. The daughter, grief-stricken over her sister's death and feeling responsible for that– is trying to understand her world. The door represents a chasm of bitterness, fear, and love.
For all mothers and daughters, sometimes the pressure of work, the job, and the need for attention gets in the way of communication. And we all have to work our way through that, with patience and love and time and effort. I remember as a teenager I was so dismissive of my mother's decision-making process, until I realized years later she was doing the best she could. There is no job training to be a mom, right? As a parent, no matter our children's age, we have that built-in desire to protect them. And that's a struggle—sometimes a battle—when our kids feel they know what's right, and it's the opposite of what we think!
EC: You have humorous scenes in the book. Why?
HPR: Oh, gosh, if there's no humor in the world, how would we manage? As a reporter there is a n
eed for a sense of humor—or else the world becomes relentlessly dark and bleak and sad. SO in my books, I try to leave a little room for humor, and pleasure, and love, and redemption—because that's what we need in real life. They're not slap stick funny, but I love to find a way for some of the characters to be able to look at the world with some wit, and with a sense of irony.
EC: Jane said she would title a future autobiography The Juggler. Would that be the name of yours?
HPK: Yes. Absolutely. We are all juggling our professional life, our personal life, and our goals, our hopes, our fears, our dreams. And our schedules! Am I multi-tasker? Nope. I have many tasks on my to-do list—it's ridiculous!–and it's constantly growing. But I try to focus on one item at a time, because I want to give one hundred percent of myself to whatever I am doing. Crossing something off is one of the delights of my life.
EC: What do you want the readers to get out of your books?
HPK: I want them to know I followed my dreams—I always wanted to write novels ever since I was a little girl growing up in Indiana. It want until I was fifty-five—and in the midst of a pretty great career in journalism—that I got the idea for my first mystery. So I am the poster child that it can work—and proof it is never too late to follow your dreams.
I also hope readers understand that the engine that drives all of my novels is how people relate and care for one another. Yes, they're suspenseful, and yes, they're thrillers. But I'm all about telling a fabulous story, with characters you care about, an important and timely problem that needs to be solved, and the good guys winning while the bad guys get what's coming to them. And in the end, I want to change the world a little.
So yes, I'm the Juggler. But I'm also the storyteller. And I am so grateful to readers who join me on this journey!

Hello everyone. This is my first furniture project. Sorry that I didn't take any process pictures. It was mostly trial and error, but man did I learn a few things. Wood is beautiful and "measure twice, cut once." This lean to is made into three separate sections: two shelves and a desk. The dimensions are 6'x19"x5'. Hope you like it.

Cool! Someone asked me to make a bookshelf like this once, but they didn't like my estimate…Something like "I saw it in a store for half that!!" I like the way it leave stuff open, it gives a lighter feel to it, and there is plenty of space for organizing, great job! I was wondering if it stands sturdy freely or if it needed to be attached to the wall?

Thank you everyone! It was a commissioned piece for an Interior designer who wanted a lot of space and open air at her work space. I saw something like this at a fancy store in Dallas and thought $800 was a little ridiculous so I made it myself for under $200.

For those looking for the nicest weather in Canada, Southern Alberta is the sun belt. And when it comes to major cities, Calgary basks in the sun more than any other city, with 333 days of sunshine each year
Past News ReleasesRSS
Calgary, Canada (PRWEB) June 06, 2014
Platinum Pro Painters – Calgary (http://www.PlatinumProPaintersCalgary.com), the leading painting/renovating company serving the Calgary, Okotoks, Airdrie, Cochrane, and surrounding areas, announces its top tips for protecting fences and saving money during the hot summer months.
"For those looking for the nicest weather in Canada, Southern Alberta is the sun belt. And when it comes to major cities, Calgary basks in the sun more than any other city, with 333 days of sunshine each year," says Chris White, owner of Platinum Pro Painters – Calgary. "In fact, the 10 sunniest places in Canada are all located in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan." (Source: Osborn, L., "Sunniest Places in Canada," CurrentResults.com; http://www.currentresults.com/Weather-Extremes/Canada/sunniest-places.php, last accessed June 5, 2014.)
White explains that while Calgarians love to get out and enjoy the sun, the local weather can wreak havoc on exterior wood structures like fences; leaving them weathered and sun-damaged. While fences are supposed to add privacy and curb appeal, they can be an eyesore and actually devalue a property if they are not properly maintained.
Unfortunately, he adds, most property owners think the only way to fix their fence is to spend thousands of dollars to repair or replace it. But whether it's a fence, deck, or porch, wooden exterior structures need regular upkeep in order to avoid weathering, dry rot, or general deterioration. And with the right approach, even the most battered-looking fence can be saved, White says.
"To prevent weathering or structural damage, it's important to stain a fence or other outdoor wood structure. A fence restoration project can take just a day or two and be done for a fraction of the cost of replacing a fence," White notes. "Most homeowners think they will save money by staining a fence themselves, but since most do not own the proper tools, they could actually do greater long-term damage."
According to White, it's important to clean away mould, dirt, debris, and peeling paint with a professional power washer before staining a fence; however, not knowing how to use it can permanently damage the fence. When it comes to staining a fence, the most cost-effective approach is to use a professional airless spray gun, which uses much less stain and takes a lot less time than using a roller or brush. A spray gun can also get between each plank and into difficult-to-reach nooks.
"Staining a fence can be arduous, detailed work," White concludes. "Getting a professional team of painters with a proven track record of fence staining not only helps homeowners save money and beautify their property, but it also frees them up to spend more time enjoying the beautiful Calgary weather."

Topic Page: Hunting
act of seeking, following, and killing wild animals for consumption or display. It differs from fishing in that it involves only land animals. Hunting was a necessary activity of early humans. Through the Paleolithic period it was their chief means of obtaining food and clothing. In the Neolithic period, when agriculture developed, killing game was still important. Hunting was popular among the ancients and became a sport in medieval Europe, where it was reserved, as far as possible, for the privileged classes by game laws. Falconry and foxhunting became increasingly popular in England in the Middle Ages, and the use of hunting dogs—hounds, setters, pointers, spaniels, and the like—became widespread in this period. Hunting can be divided into three branches, each of which is defined by the type of instrument used by the hunter. Hunting with weapons (now primarily firearms, formerly bow and arrow, boomerang, spear, or sling) is probably the most popular, especially in the United States. Trapping and snaring with deceptive implements is popular in northern areas. In coursing (with dogs) and falconry (with hawks) hunters enlist the aid of trained animals. Coursing is especially popular in Britain and Western Europe. Types of hunting are also distinguished by the size of the animal being sought. Big-game hunting is the most glamorous and often the most dangerous. It became a popular sport among Western colonialists in Africa and India during the 19th cent., and even today the big-game safari survives. Big-game animals include, or have included, the moose, caribou, bear, and elk of North America; the reindeer, elk, and wolf of Europe; the tiger, leopard, elephant, and wild goat of Asia; and the antelope, gazelle, zebra, leopard, lion, giraffe, rhinoceros, and elephant of Africa. Small-game hunting, known as "shooting" in Great Britain, focuses on birds such as the quail, partridge, grouse, pheasant, and goose, as well as on such animals as the hare, rabbit, woodchuck, raccoon, and squirrel. Extensive hunting, both commercial and recreational, has made many species of game animals extinct (the passenger pigeon) or nearly extinct (the American bison). Game laws and wildlife refuges in the United States have been designed to save game animals and birds from extinction. Many African nations have also instituted such measures, but illegal poaching for furs, skins, ivory, internal organs, and the like remains a problem both there and in other areas of the world.

15th June 2016 by Richard Yen
I'm pleased to say that the nominations for the 2016 Altair Enlighten Award are in and we've had more entries than ever before. But before we can reveal who's going to be competing for this year's award, we're going to continue our look back at the 2015 entries. Today it's the turn of Maxion Wheels, a Brazil based automotive supplier.
Maxion's nomination concerned the development of steel wheels for the commercial vehicles sector. The team applied a new design which utilized optimization processes to trim material and weight from the parts while ensuring that they were still able to meet all regulatory and safety standards.
The baseline in South America for a 22.5 x 8.25 wheel is 41 kg (90 lbs). The final version of the new design was an impressive 10 lbs (4.5kg) lighter. In addition, the design was approved on the toughest durability test in the world called 'Biaxial', which helps to raise standard of approval and quality of products.
As well as the positive effect on fuel efficiency that comes with a lighter wheel, Maxion also highlighted the cost advantages that can be realized with a wheel that uses less raw material. Something which the company stated gave them a considerable advantage over their competitors.
Maxion's entry highlighted that even components where strength is paramount to avoid failure of such as critical and fundamental part, still have scope to reduce weight using a material reduction strategy, backed up by optimization and simulation technologies.

Erica of Erica's Edibles was our host for the Daring Baker's June challenge. Erica challenged us to be truly DARING by making homemade phyllo dough and then to use that homemade dough to make Baklava.
Well, what to say about this challenge…it was a great challenge, great fun and a great experience. I just didn't like the end result. It was just way too sweet for me. Way to sweet.
I halved the filling and syrup recipe and didn't double the pastry recipe (as suggested to fill a 9×9 tin). This made enough to fill a 8×5 tin. But there was just way too much syrup even though I halved it – even by well into the next day it was a puddle. And it was just messy, sticky, tooth achingly sweet and sickly, I'm sad to say. And its not just me, Mat who can eat sugar from a spoon felt the same. I did actually like the flavour, the warm spices and nuttiness was lovely, maybe I'll just reduce the sugar next time. The pastry was great, I loved it and it wasn't really hard at all just not mega quick but also not hours long! Perfect for a quiet Sunday afternoon.
Here's the recipe: Serves 16
Phyllo Dough:
*Note 1: This phyllo recipe will fill a 8" x 5" baking dish. Double the recipe and leave baklava recipe as it is to make a 9×9 baklava. If using a single phyllo recipe (8×5, halve baklava filling recipe and as much as quarter the syrup, see above)
*Note 2: Dough can be made a head of time and froze. Just remove from freezer, allow to thaw and continue making your baklava
1 1/3 cups (320 ml) (185 gm/6½ oz) unbleached all purpose (plain) flour
1/8 teaspoon (2/3 ml) (¾ gm) salt
1/2 cup less 1 tablespoon (105 ml) water, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil, plus additional for coating the dough
1/2 teaspoon (2½ ml) cider vinegar, (could substitute white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar, but could affect the taste) I used standard white distilled vinegar
- In the bowl of your stand mixer combine flour and salt
- Mix with paddle attachment
- Combine water, oil and vinegar in a small bowl.
- Add water & oil mixture with mixer on low speed, mix until you get a soft dough, if it appears dry add a little more water, the dough should come together.
- Change to the dough hook and let knead approximately 10 minutes. You will end up with beautiful smooth dough. If you are kneading by hand, knead approx. 20 minutes.
Rolling the Phyllo:
** Remove all rings and jewelry so it does not snag the dough**
Use whatever means you have to get the dough as thin as you can. You may also
use a pasta machine if you have one, or a normal rolling pin whatever works for you.
- Unwrap your dough and cut off a chunk slightly larger then a golf ball. While you are rolling be sure to keep the other dough covered so it doesn't dry out.
- Be sure to flour your hands, rolling pin and counter. As you roll you will need to keep adding, don't worry, you can't over-flour.
- Roll out the dough a bit to flatten it out.
- Wrap the dough around your rolling pin/dowel
- Roll back and forth quickly with the dough remaining on the dowel
- Remove; notice how much bigger it is!
- Rotate and repeat until it is as thin as you can it. Don't worry if you get rips in the dough, as long as you have one perfect one for the top you will never notice.
- When you get it as thin as you can with the rolling pin, carefully pick it up with well floured hands
- and stretch it on the backs of your hands as you would a pizza dough, just helps make it that much
- thinner. Roll out your dough until it is transparent. NOTE: you will not get it as thin as the frozen
- phyllo dough you purchase at the store, it is made by machine
- Set aside on a well-floured surface. Repeat the process until your dough is used up. Between each
- sheet again flour well. You will not need to cover your dough with a wet cloth, as you do with
- boxed dough, it is moist enough that it will not dry out.
Filling: (halve this for just one phyllo recipe or double phyllo recipe for this amount of filling)
1 (5-inch/125 mm piece) cinnamon stick, broken into 2 to 3 pieces or 2 teaspoons (10 ml) (8 gm) ground cinnamon
15 to 20 whole allspice berries ( I just used a few pinches)
3/4 cup (180 ml) (170 gm/6 oz) blanched almonds
3/4 cup (180 ml) (155 gm/5½ oz) raw or roasted walnuts
3/4 cup (180 ml) (140 gm/5 oz) raw or roasted pistachios
2/3 cup (160 ml) (150 gm/ 5 1/3 oz) sugar
phyllo dough (see recipe above)
1 cup (2 sticks) (240 ml) (225g/8 oz) melted butter **I did not need this much, less then half** (or oil, margarine)
- Preheat oven to moderate 350°F/180°C/gas mark 4.
- Combine nuts, sugar and spices in a food processor and pulse on high until finely chopped. If you do not have a food processor chop with a sharp knife as fine as you can. Set aside
- Trim your phyllo sheets to fit in your pan
- Brush bottom of pan with butter or oil and place first phyllo sheet
- Brush the first phyllo sheet with butter or oil and repeat approximately 5 times ending with butter. (Most recipes say more, but homemade phyllo is thicker so it's not needed)
- Sprinkle 1/3 of the nut mixture on top
- On the top layer, make sure you have a piece of phyllo with no holes if possible.
- Once you have applied the top layer tuck in all the edges to give a nice appearance.
- With a Sharp knife cut your baklava in desired shapes and number of pieces. If you can't cut all the ways through don't worry you will cut again later. A 9×9 pan cuts nicely into 30 pieces. Then brush with a generous layer of butter making sure to cover every area and edge.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes; remove from oven and cut again this time all the way through. Continue baking for another 30 minutes. (Oven temperatures will vary, you are looking for the top to be a golden brown, take close watch yours may need more or less time in the oven) Once the baklava is in the oven, start on the syrup, recipe below.
- When baklava is cooked remove from oven and pour the cooled (will still be warmish) syrup evenly over the top, taking care to cover all surfaces when pouring.
- Allow to cool to room temperature. Once cooled cover and store at room temperature. Allow the baklava to sit overnight to absorb the syrup.
- Serve at room temperature.
For the syrup:
· 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) honey (or agave for vegan option)
· 1 1/4 cups (300ml) water
· 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) (280 gm/10 oz) sugar
· 1 cinnamon stick
· 1 (2-inch/50 mm) piece fresh citrus peel (lemon or orange work best)
· a few cloves or a pinch or ground clove
When you put your baklava in the oven start making your syrup. When you combine the two, one of them needs to be hot, I find it better when the baklava is hot and the syrup has cooled
- Combine all ingredients in a medium pot over medium high heat. Stir occasionally until sugar has dissolved.
- Boil for 10 minutes, stir occasionally.
- Once boiled for 10 minutes remove from heat and strain cinnamon stick and lemon, allow to cool as baklava cooks.

Recent reviews
Fabulous 8.6 From 183 reviews
One man at the desk wasn't very helpful when it came to booking a taxi to the airport for us.
Great spot, loved the pool on level 31 and the view from level 41 was amazing. Would prefer no balcony but that is just quibbling. Highly recommend.
Loved staying here. Friendly staff and great facilities.
We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms located on the 57th floor, affording some fantastic views out over Melbourne. The room was well featured but only offered a small combined kitchen/dining/lounge area. For one night's stay this was manageable, but an extended stay with up to 6 people in a 3 bedroom apartment might become challenging. The shower pressure and temperature were fabulous, but space in the bathrooms was limited. We paid for carparking which was provided in the same building with access via a car lift. This system worked well, however access, entry, and egress was very tight for a people mover. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
Easy check-in, clean room, and friendly service and great city location.

A physician network computer has been stolen in California — as the health network says it was in the process of encrypting their computers. This theft compromised the personal information on more than 4 million patients dating back to 1995.
The Sacramento Bee says a database that includes the names, addresses, email addresses, birth dates, telephone numbers, and insurance information of 3.3 million patients was compromised. Also stolen was the personal information on another 943,000 patients, including medical record numbers and description of their diagnoses.
The data did not include patient financial records or Social Security numbers.

Frustrating Cellular Customer Service
In the course of a day I likely speak to a majority of the Cellular Communications Carriers several times each, and it still baffles me the frustrating things that I continually encounter.
My favourite of course is the SCHEDULED upgrade or maintenance in the middle of a business day that prevents them from being able to see or do anything on any account! Seriously – Who schedules an upgrade or maintenance at their busiest time the of day?
I can understand that systems go down and there is little you can do about it, but why schedule it that way – why not wait until less busy hours?
Or how about the representative that has no common sense at all? [Read more…]

The Hunger Game: want to learn to play?
Today I'm here to teach you how to tell the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger by playing the "Hunger Game."
But first, why am I talking about emotional hunger versus physical hunger and what's the difference?
Emotional hunger means you turn to food either to avoid uncomfortable emotions or to heighten pleasurable ones. It means you eat based on how you feel instead of what your body needs.
Examples of emotional hunger (FEELINGS):
Eating for comfort or out of loneliness or sadness
Eating from boredom
Eating to try to soothe anxious or depressed feelings
Eating to fill an aching heart
Whereas physical hunger means you eat when your body signals to you that you are in fact, hungry. And it means that you stop eating when you are satisfied and before you are uncomfortably full.
Examples of physical hunger (SENSATIONS):
Stomach growls and gets that hollow hungry sensation
Body feels weak and energy goes down
Blood sugar gets low and you feel shaky
You feel lightheaded or faint
So what will I gain by learning to listen to my body?
It will free you from being a slave to food.
What that means for you is that you'll feel more in control of your eating and less dependent on food to "help" your moods and emotions.
By listening to your physical hunger signals, you can determine how hungry or full you really are. With practice, you'll be able to pinpoint where your body is at any given moment.
By doing so, you will train yourself to stop eating BEFORE you are too full and to not turn to food when you are not actually hungry but are in fact bored, upset, anxious or depressed.
Because everyone knows that's a vicious cycle… so let me show you how to end that cycle and have some fun while doing it. Enter… the Hunger Game.
How do I play the Hunger Game?
Let me first clarify that I'm not talking about undergoing top-secret weapons training to learn to "kill" off your colleagues or friends… I'm talking about a simple, helpful game that you can play all by yourself even in a busy restaurant.
Here's how you play the Hunger Game:
See if you can be the slowest eater at the table — no one has to know you're playing or that you're trying to win the Hunger Game.
Periodically check in with yourself throughout your meal and honor when you're energized and satiated by completing the meal.
Use an end-of-meal ritual, like putting your napkin over your plate or ordering hot tea and fresh fruit to symbolize the completion of the meal.
What do I do now?
In my health coaching practice, I help my clients learn to tell the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger. Together, we come up with a plan to help you keep identifying the difference so you can lose weight naturally and double your energy.
If you think you may be engaging in emotional eating and you don't know how to change it, then click here now to schedule a time to talk with me.
To your health,
