Booking was straight forward at a very competitive price. I expected to get a list of extras that needed doing but no just a couple of essentials. Picked up on time & delivered back when advised. Maybe I was lucky that the garage used was good, I guess those who are not satisfied have perhaps not had their cars placed with a good garage. I don't know if or how well Servicing Stop vets the garages but I would suggest it is essential to avoid them getting bad reviews. Web site could be a little… Read Full Review

I am shocked at some of the bad reviews. I have children and the school is too far for them to walk so when I found that service stop picked up and delivered the car it was perfect for me. I rang them to ask if they advertised times could be altered to fit in with the school run which they happily agreed on doing. They picked up my car at 9:30 and it was back with me at 2:45. I have an 11 year old Vectra and was expecting some work would need doing but my car passed with one advisory. I was… Read Full Review

The idea of Servicing Stop is great but the reality of it is quite the opposite. When I had booked for an MOT online, they were prompt at calling me back to confirm but the lady I spoke with was very rude, brash and even sighed at one point. My car was picked up at 9am and I did not hear from them again until after 4pm explaining my car had failed it's MOT, quoting £200 for a lower arm change and a new sidelight.

Thought i would use servicing stop as it seemed, on the face of it, easy to use the fact the car is picked up and delivered back to you was a bonus. I knew there would be things on there that would need replacing but that's where the nightmare began. ''Ok Sir. You will need some oil at £17' that's fine, 'you will then a new tyre at £95'??

I was concerned that the service would comply with all KIA manufactures service schedule and was assured by servicingstop it did, and the cost with a MOT would be 203.50 when the garage had the car I was told I had to pay extra for spark plugs brake oil and pollen filter.

If you use this service, do so knowing what you are getting. Contrary to the main page of their web-site, the services are NOT CARRIED OUT TO MANUFACTURERS SCHEDULE. Thus, they are cheaper because you are not getting the parts and labour which are scheduled. Even something as basic as an oil change is not covered. When I challenged their customer services, they were very quick to point out where the get out wording was. The hold your car until you have paid. It is not legal to hold a… Read Full Review

Seemed like a good idea "stress free servicing and mot". Car failed MOT and part needed from dealer was not available until the following day, so far not a major problem. The garage had left their van on my drive, again not a major problem for a day but was left overnight which became a problem when 2 other cars retuned in the evening. My car was not collected until the deadline of 10am. The following day the car was repaired and I was then advised of the code for payment. This was at 3.45pm… Read Full Review

To dare mighty things : the life of Theodore Roosevelt Rappaport, Doreen.
"President Theodore Roosevelt is known as "the man with a plan," the "rough rider." His figure stands tall in American history, his legacy stretching him to larger-than-life proportions. But before his rise to fame, he was just "Teedie," a boy with ambitious dreams to change the world, and the conviction to see his stupendous imaginings brought to fruition. As an American president, he left an impressive mark upon his country. He promised a "square deal" to all citizens, he tamed big businesses, and protected the nation's wildlife and natural beauty. His fearless leadership assured that he would always be remembered, and his robust spirit now dares others to do mighty things. In her moving picture book portrait, award-winning author Doreen Rappaport uses her well-honed approach of personal quotes and vivid prose to spin together the tale of a sickly boy who became a monumental man. Coupled with C.F. Payne's dramatic artwork, the story of President Teddy, touchstone of American history, is brought to life"--

Shelby Miller is eating for her life.
Having explored the ins and outs of Western medicine, the former Squamish resident turned to her diet as a lifeline in a fight against an undiagnosed auto-immune disease.
"It feels like you are on fire," said Miller, who moved to Whistler to live with her fiancé a month ago. "It's like when you take Listerine, but in your body. And then you have an ice cream headache."
Miller is no stranger to near-death experiences. As a promising young swimmer with the Castlegar Aquanauts, at the age of 14, Miller was given 12 hours to live when she suddenly needed a liver transplant.
While she received a liver, that was far from the end of the story. Miller later discovered the donor had Hepatitis B. Doctors gave her new organ five years of life. It lasted 14.
With a second liver in place, Miller went through regular treatment to deal with Hepatitis B. But a year and a half ago, something started attacking her body.
"This has been more challenging than having two liver transplants," she said, noting the uncertainty clouding the disease is frustrating.
So far the only counterattack is huge steroid doses, a treatment that is harmful to Miller's body and not sustainable, she said. With no other options in sight, she turned to alternative medicines, including nutrition.
"My food has become my medicine," she said.
A group of Squamish residents followed Miller's lead. In an effort to back Miller as she undertakes a strict meal plan, the fitness centre Body Storm's participants mimicked her eating habits for a month. In a fundraising effort, they garnered pledges for their weight loss.
Miller is unable to work, Body Storm co-owner Kimberley Cummings said. This was the community's way of showing their support, she noted.
"[Miller] is the essence of a strong person," said Cummings, who has been friends with Miller for approximately five years. "She is a really sweet, sweet girl."
The gym's fundraiser and people's donations have so far amounted to $3,920. Anyone wanting to add their donation to the pool can email firstname.lastname@example.com.
It's been a big help to feel as though she's not tackling the strict diet program alone, Miller said. She has discussed tips with the fundraiser's participants on Facebook and learned valuable information from their experiences, Miller said.
"I am on a bit of a rollercoaster and they are not fun when you don't want to be on them anymore," she said. "This whole thing has filled up my hope tank."

Inflation and Your Money - Wednesday, May 01, 2013
What is inflation?
It is the general increase in the price of goods and services over time or the devaluation of currency.
How does inflation affect the US dollar?
Inflation directly translates into the dollar loosing purchasing power. The price for items increases and more money is required to purchase those items. Ultimately, the dollar buys fewer goods and services than it once did.
Does the inflation rate ever change?
Rates are calculated over time using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and they do fluctuate. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, from 1914-2013 the United States averaged an inflation rate of 3.35%. Records include the highest inflation rate during June of 1920 at 23.70% and the all-time low of -15.80% in June of 1921. In a healthy market, inflation averages between 2% and 3% and results in wage growth.
What causes inflation?
There are several explanations which include the printing of more money, National debt, exchange rates, and two theories called cost-push and demand-pull effects.
Cost-Push Effect:
When the cost of business increases it is passed on to the consumer through higher prices. These costs may include increases in wages, shipping expenses or additional taxes and fees. For example, berry pickers demand a higher wage, which increases harvesting expenses, which causes the store to pay more for the berries, which means the consumer pays more at register.
Demand-Pull Effect:
The influx of money creates increased demand for goods and services then suppliers can increase prices to keep supply and demand in balance. For example, low interest rates encourage borrowing, which allow people to spend more money in the economy (buying houses, cars, etc). Merchants can charge more for their products because there is more money chasing goods and services which causes inflation.

Edinburgh 28th Nov 1820
Nothing I assure you could be more gratifying to me than a perusal of your observations on Mr. Malthus book—I have long been of opinion that Mr. Malthus merits as a Political Economist were very much exaggerated; but the reputation he has acquired renders his errors the more dangerous—and I congratulate myself on the certainty of the instruction and pleasure I shall derive from your remarks on his principles and conclusions—Do not fear that I shall have the least difficulty in reading your remarks; I am so much accustomed to interlineations and abbreviations of all kinds that I am quite sure I shall read them with the utmost facility. Have the goodness to get the parcel well wrapped up, and send it to me by the Mail—I shall be impatient for its arrival—
I do not know how Mr. Malthus book has sold in London, but I know it has not sold well here—It is the text book—the very gospel indeed—of a few landlords who have read it in order to find arguments to enable them to defend our factitious system; but otherwise it has not been in much demand—
I am tolerably well acquainted with the fourth Edition of Say, and I quite agree with you that the notions of value which pervade it are nearly as confused as in the previous ones—It is astonishing that he should still adhere to his old opinions on the subject of rent; and it is much to be lamented that so popular2 a work should be erroneous in so important a particular—After all however the great merit of Says work seems to me to consist almost exclusively in the luminous arrangement of the parts and the perspicuity of the stile—Excepting the Chapter Des Debouchés it contains no disquisition that can be said to be either original or ingenious—It is sensible and well written and that is all—I have just glanced at his Letters to Malthus, but have not read them through—They struck me as being decidedly inferior to his other work; and I cannot help thinking that your taking any very particular notice of them would be dooing them an honour to which they have no just title. Perhaps Jeffrey would have no objections to my reviewing them;1 and if so the perusal of your remarks would be of the most essential service to me—
I am just about finishing an article on Interest for the Supp. to the E. Brittanica—I could not say any thing that was new in this; but I think it will contribute to the dissemination of sound opinions on a subject of considerable importance—I shall send you a copy—
Pray have you turned your attention to the subject of the Combination Laws? I have had some intentions of endeavouring to throw together a few observations on them, and if I were not ashamed to give you such an infinity of trouble I should like to know what you think of them—For my part I look on them as extremely pernicious—as totally incompetent to effect any good purpose—as rendering those combinations dangerous which would otherwise be harmless—and as tending to widen the breach, which is already by far too ample, between the labourers and the propertied classes.2
Pray do you know any thing of our friend Colonel Torrens?—I have not heard from him for a very long time—I presume he is not in London.
I think the conduct of ministers to the Queen is as weak as it is base—Their policy was now to treat her with all possible respect to give her a Palace, to restore her name to the Liturgy, and to get her a handsome provision. The more they persecute her she will become the more popular—There is not, however, I am afraid the least prospect of a change of ministers. It is the policy of Cobbet and of all the ultra radical writers to hold out all public men as alike corrupt, or in other words to say that revolution is the only cure—Ministers know this and they will profit by it. The violence and the intemperance of the leaders of the mob will soon disgust the greater part of the middle classes who are now united with them, and with their support the ministers will be able to get on as well as ever—Excuse these remarks and believe me to be with the most unalterable sentiments of respect and esteem

I can't ask you out, so let me invent a group activity out of thin air to invite you to
Alice is interested in Bob, but for some reason she can't ask him out directly. Her solution is declaring that there's a party for someone else that night and inviting Bob. The presence of other people is supposed to mitigate the awkwardness. It's debatable if this actually happens. Up for Grabs.

Got up early for an adventure farther inland to tour the beautiful Ciguapa Falls. David came with us and we were joined by a funky German couple, Julia and Anis.

It is pretty common for people living or visiting the global South and less "economically developed nations" to get a sense of appreciation for what they have.

That is not to stay that the ...

It was about 3pm by the time we got to our room, so we quickly changed into swim suits and headed to the swim-up pool bar ...

MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- The U.S. ambassador to Manila says Osama bin Laden's death should serve as a warning to all terrorists that they will be brought to justice in the relentless campaign against violent extremism.
Ambassador Harry Thomas Jr. paid tribute Sunday to Americans and Filipinos who have perished in the battle against terrorism in a Memorial Day speech at the American cemetery in the Philippine capital.
U.S. troops have been providing training, weapons and intelligence to Filipino soldiers battling the al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayyaf extremist group since 2002. At least four American military personnel and civilians have been killed by the militants in the country's south in the last 10 years.
Washington has listed the Abu Sayyaf as a terrorist group.
