What are lash extensions?
Lash extensions are synthetic lashes that are adhered to your natural lashes with semi-permanent lash extension adhesive. Lash extensions add length and volume.
How long will the lash extensions last? And how often are touch up appointments recommended?
The lifetime of each individual lash extension varies. Your natural lashes grow in 4-13 week cycles and not one lash will be on the same cycle. When a lash has reached the end of its cycle, it will shed along with the extension. Typically, with proper care, the lash extension adhesive should last 6-8 weeks with a touch up every 2-3 weeks to replace the lashes that shed.
How long will the initial application take?
Your initial visit will take 1-2 hours depending on the look you choose. You will be lying down on a massage bed with your eyes closed with music playing in the background. It's perfectly normal for you to fall asleep during the procedure.
How will I know if I am a candidate for lash extensions?
Your natural lashes need to be in good health. You cannot get lash extensions if you are missing natural lashes (i.e. bald spots). Your natural lashes must also be long enough to be able to support the weight of the adhesive and lash extension (even though you may not feel the weight, your lashes will). If you schedule an appointment and it is determined that your natural lashes are not in good health AND are not long enough, you may have to wait 2-3 weeks before you are able to reschedule.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Please make sure that you remove any mascara and eye make-up with oil-free make-up remover or toner/astringent prior to your appointment.
How do I care for my eyelash extensions?
Now that you have invested in your eyelash extensions, you will need to know how to care for them. Please follow these guidelines: avoid rubbing your eyes, avoid pulling on your lash extensions or your natural lashes, do not use an eyelash curler, avoid sleeping on your face, do not get the extensions wet for at least 48 hours (this means NO water in any form should come into contact with your eyes), and you must use a water-based eye make-up remover to dissolve any eyeliner or eyeshadow. NO oil-based products should come near your eyes.

Four stars from Michael Jackson – the world-classic 'Black' Beer.
A brewing wonder and a beer lover's dream! Kulmbacher "black beer" is the classic and best example of this famous style. Supremely drinkable, dry and beautifully hopped, yet loaded with dark roasted malt flavor. Known locally as "the black Pils" because it is unusually dry for a dark lager, it is the essential companion to the meaty regional specialties of Kulmbach, Germany. But whether you are a confirmed vegetarian or an unrepentant carnivore, this is a beer to be enjoyed with any hearty meal. Its exquisite balance is a remarkable brewing achievement and an enduring mystery -- how can such a dark, rich flavored brew be so light and easy to drink?
With an irresistible, flowery hop bitterness that sets it apart from all others, Mönchshof Schwarzbier is relatively light in body - but bursting with character. Its dark, roasted, slightly chocolatey and warming palate is astounding for such a refreshing and drinkable beer. The hearty taste and seductive burt sienna color come from the deep-roasted barley used in every batch.
A quick German lesson… Mönchshof is pronounced "Moonks-Hoff." The name means "Monastery," a reference to the monks who were the original brewers of Kulmbach, and the founders of the brewery that bears this beer's name.

Ever watch "Mad Men"? The song, "Bye-Bye Birdie" will always remind me of "Mad Men". I wasn't a huge fan of any kind of birds, even though I had finches growing up. I think now, I am more appreciative of them, along with many other animals; I think most animals are just so cute!
"Except for Big Bird and Hedwig, of course." haha! That is too funny!
I've never watched Mad Men but will probably do a marathon in the future.

Serves: 4
Oven Temp: 400
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 1/2 cup(s) fresh bread crumbs, made from firm white bread, crusts removed
- 1/4 cup(s) fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 1.5 teaspoon(s) fresh mint, chopped
- 1.5 teaspoon(s) fresh tarragon, chopped
- 1 clove(s) garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 rack(s) (4-pound) lamb (7 to 8 ribs per rack) (see Tip)
- 2 tablespoon(s) canola oil
- 2 tablespoon(s) Dijon mustard
- To make herbed breadcrumbs: In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, mint, tarragon, and garlic. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to moisten the crumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Season the racks of lamb with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch ovenproof sauté pan, heat the canola oil over high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add the lamb, meaty side down, and sear until nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 7 minutes. Turn the lamb and continue cooking for another 8 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reads 120 to 125 degrees F (about 15 minutes total roasting time). Remove the lamb. This timing will give you rare meat. If you like medium-rare meat, add about 3 minutes to the total cooking time; add about 8 minutes for medium meat.
- Position a broiler rack about 6 inches from the source of heat and preheat. Spread the mustard on the top of the rack of lamb. Cover with the herbed bread crumbs, pressing to make sure they adhere. Broil until the crust is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with Flageolets and Steamed Spinach.
Tips & Techniques
When purchasing the lamb, ask the butcher to saw off the chine bone and french the rib bones, reserving all the meat and bone trimmings from preparing the racks to use for the wine sauce. Have the chine bone sawed into 2-inch pieces. At home, trim away and discard all of the extraneous fat from the meat trimmings.

Insist on facts in fracking
Published on -2/20/2014, 9:55 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
Fear has become a principal means of directing public opinion away from the facts, and in the case of hydraulic fracturing, it is occurring with a well-known and historically acceptable process associated with recovering oil and natural gas from the earth.
Fear of the unknown is primal and instinctive and is part of all mankind. I cannot, and will not, criticize the fear of those who are afraid of what they do not know. Rather, I applaud those who raise relevant questions and want answers concerning activities they do not understand. My criticism is reserved for those who exploit and pander to fear by repeatedly citing unproven anecdotes to advance their preconceived political agendas.
So, what are the facts associated with hydraulic fracturing?
Fact: Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is not new. For more than 66 years, America's energy producers have relied upon the technique known as fracking to enhance the production of oil and natural gas. Fracking is a process consisting of pumping a mixture of water and sand under pressure into isolated zones to enhance the natural fractures that exist in subsurface rock formations.
Fact: Hydraulic fracturing does not cause earthquakes. Generally, the world's strongest earthquakes occur along the large fault lines, although smaller faults are found many places. Oil and gas production often is found in geologically folded and faulted areas with a long history of seismic activity due to numerous natural faults. While the fracking process causes microseismic events, in contrast to earthquakes, those events are similar to the seismic impact of an apple falling from a tree. The National Research Council released a study in 2012 that concluded hydraulic fracturing does not pose a high risk for seismic events. In addition, the National Academy of Sciences released a study in 2012 that stated seismicity risk from hydraulic fracturing is negligible. These two studies confirmed what all of us who are interested in the facts already knew: There is no legitimate reason to believe hydraulic fracturing causes earthquakes.
Fact: Hydraulic fracturing never has caused groundwater contamination. Using water under pressure to fracture rock is not new. Hydraulic fracturing has been used in this country since 1947. More than 57,000 wells in Kansas and 1.2 million wells in the U.S. have been fracked by the oil and gas industry without a single verified or documented instance of harm to groundwater. During the course of its history, fracking has not only been used by the oil and gas industry, but also to access things such as water and geothermal energy. As a matter of fact, it even has been used by the EPA to clean up super-fund sites.
Fact: Hydraulic fracturing fluids are 98 percent water and 2 percent chemicals. In the case of hydraulic fracturing, the word "chemicals" is used by fearmongers to imply poisoning, death and disease. Toxicity is not synonymous with the use of chemicals. Peanut butter, jelly and other common food stuffs all become toxic at a certain dose, so it is not the presence of a chemical substance that creates the concern. It is, and always will be, the dosage.
Fact: The chemicals used in the case of hydraulic fracturing involve simple compounds at low concentrations. Hydraulic fracturing uses water with biocides to control bacteria -- the same chemicals used in rural wells, municipal water treatment systems and the sterilization of medical instruments. Compounds are added to the water to reduce friction -- the same compounds used in water-treatment facilities throughout the country. Scale inhibitors are used to reduce gunk that forms in the well -- the same materials used in household cleaners. Corrosion is treated with oxygen scavengers -- the same materials used in cosmetics. Hydrochloric acid is used to keep the equipment clean -- the same material used in swimming pools. Stabilizers are used to control migration of fluids -- primarily the same salts used to flavor food or to melt ice in the winter.
Hydraulic fracturing effectively has been regulated by state governments and oversight agencies since its inception. At both the federal and state level, all of the laws, regulations and permits that apply to oil and natural gas exploration and production activities also apply to hydraulic fracturing. These include all laws and regulations related to well design, location, spacing, operation and abandonment as well as environmental activities and discharges, including water management and disposal, air emissions, underground injection, and worker health and safety.
The extraction of oil and natural gas is not a risk-free process. In fact, it requires effective regulation, which currently exists in Kansas and many other states.
Real facts always should debunk the anecdotal nonsense some might try to pass as fact. Hydraulic fracturing is a proven technology the oil and gas industry has demonstrated time and again can be used safely. Neither politics, nor fearmongering, nor unproven anecdotes can conceal or deny the substantial economic development benefits society has derived from hydraulic fracturing without any environmental degradation. Let's not be afraid of hydraulic fracturing.

Derrick Murphy, Norfolk County Council leader, on the right, pictured with Patrick Boyle, acting governor and chief executive officer if the Turks and Caicos Islands. Mr Murphy spent seven days in the Turks and Caicos Islands as part of a Foreign Office fact-finding trip.
Richard Wheeler
Thursday, October 4, 2012
Civil servants from a Caribbean paradise could be used to deal with complaints, questions and concerns at Norfolk's largest council.
The Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) will next month hold its first elections since a 2009 investigation concluded there was a "high probability of systematic corruption" among former government officials.
The Foreign Office ordered the TCI to undergo reform work before elections returned, with Norfolk County Council picked to mentor political staff in finance, governance and economic development.
A fourth group of TCI representatives is due to finish a visit to County Hall, in Martineau Lane, Norwich, today as part of this work.
And Derrick Murphy, Norfolk County Council leader, said ideas were being considered for the future about how the two authorities could maintain links.
Mr Murphy, who visited TCI for seven days in May, said: "One thing they were very enamoured with was our customer service and how we deal with customers.
"One suggestion, and it's only a suggestion at this stage, is Turks and Caicos Islands staff are seconded to work at the county council's customer services for a period of time of one or two months.
"They would also like us to go over there and help their officers and members work well together."
The number of complaints made against the council increased from 2,156 in 2010/11 to 2,252 in 2011/12. A report due to go before next week's cabinet meeting states this is largely because of people's "increasing awareness of the right to complain", together with issues of spending cuts and personal care budgets.
Questions have been raised in Norfolk about the suitability of the council for the role with TCI.
Campaigners protesting against plans for an incinerator at King's Lynn sent letters on the issue to TCI's Governor Ric Todd.
One concluded: "When it comes to transparency, accountability and democracy, Norfolk County Council has a reverse Midas Touch."
But Mr Murphy said he believes the foreign office will use the example of Norfolk and Hertfordshire's work with the British Virgin Islands to create more links between English counties and the overseas territories.
Mr Murphy said: "Come November, representative government will be re-established and no-one in the UK or the islands want to see any suspension again.
"The idea was initial feedback to them of how to run things, them to come over and talk on a one-to-one basis with cabinet members and senior officers and develop a much more medium-term relationship, whereby if needs be secondments from there to here will take place and we may go there to advise them.
"There's things like telly and video-conferencing now. It would suit me, I can tell you, to sit here to do a telly or video-conference than to spend 14 hours on a British Airways flight each way. It would be a massive waste of public money and people's time."
He added all the authority's TIC costs were covered by the foreign office and he will seek full recovery on any future costs.
North West Norfolk MP Henry Bellingham, in his former role as a foreign office minister, has also been involved in working with TCI.
He visited the islands in June to announce new elections will be held on November 9.
Mr Bellingham, in a speech made during his June visit, said: "I believe that today is a time to look forward, not back. This is a territory about to adopt a new constitution, about to hold an election; a territory that is finding its feet once again."

Norfolk County Council continues to make the case for its' own extinction.
Friday, October 5, 2012
Two things come to mind - we don't need people from the Carribean working in county hall - if there are any jobs going they should be given to those who are being made redundant. Second, Murphy's lack of support and interest in the recent by-election shows that he is looking for other things to do. Is he waiting for an appointment to the T&C government which is being held in November an appointment perhaps supported by his MP Henry Bellingham - who called him an outstanding councillor, who since being sacked from his ministerial post suddenly is rushing round trying to do something about the incinerator?
Friday, October 5, 2012
THe fact that the government picked Mr Murphy to mentor the T.C.I. , says it all . His organisation is hardly open and transparent . He kept his 7 day junket well under wraps . Mr Bellingham likewise , a rather bumbling man to have even as Tory M.P.

Must be fantastic to have a break at the taxpayers expense.
Thursday, October 4, 2012
Mr Knee deep in ash. NCC county councillors were also working overtime at parish councils to drum up support for the burner. At the end of the day the vast majority of parishes rejected the incinerator. You will find they have broken County Council code of conduct many times. One observation is husband and wife team the Murphy's were a double act. I suspect Janet had information about the incinerator from Derrick while cooking the dinner. Richard Rockcliffe lives only yards away from the Murphy's and Shelagh Hutson less than quarter of a mile away. Very strange Shelagh Hutson was allowed to chair the meeting in her capacity and still be a friend and close neighbour of the accused Derrick Murphy at the scrutiny meeting.
Saturday, October 6, 2012
Perhaps our visitors should be invited to sit in on the current investigation into the conduct of Cllr Derrick Murphy in relation to the Kevingate scandal. That would certainly open their eyes.
Thursday, October 4, 2012
Maryjane. Some good will come out of this. Derrick Murphy will be training Patrick Boyle the fine art of stage management for his return to T&C. What I mean is assume you wanted to build an incinerator at Kings Lynn. A few members of the public phone their County Councillor to ask is he or she working on your behalf to stop the burner. The Councillor slams the phone down on them and goes running to County Hall accusing some members of the public ruing their day. This is broadcasted by the leader that his members are enduring harassment just before a vital vote. Wait a minute are these allegations true and did the Councillor phone the police NO. Stage management at its best. The decent thing to do would be to have a full and proper police investigation to check validity of the Councillors accusations and vote afterwards when report completed.
Friday, October 5, 2012
Hahahaha - I keep checking the date to see whether it's April 1st but no, it's actually not. If there was ever a council qualified to educate people in the ways of corruption, double-talk and whitewashing then it's Norfolk County Council. People from the TCI will finally get to see how the big boys do it - maybe they'll go the whole hog and secure the services of nplaw too?

"A collection of classic travel book reviews"
I was hoping to hear more about Paul Theroux's traveling.Instead he reviews Kipling and other classic travel literature which was interesting,but I don't always like the classical stuff as much as the modern travelogue.There were a couple of short essays of Paul's travels,but having to pay for two parts really wasn't worth the credits.Buy Dark Star Safari or Ghost train for a much better adventure.Buy London Embassy or Elephanta Suite for some entertaining short stories.This one was worth a pass.
"A contrary view that has some merit"
Gavin Menzies has illuminated us with an alternate history of the world that is backed up by his extensive research. I still had to feel that whatever books were shared with the Europeans had to have been in Chinese,so without good translators I find it a bit hard to believe that the Italians could have simply copied many designs from the Chinese and set off the Renaissance in Europe. Maybe Michael Angelo was simply a talented artist who set about taking these ancient texts and vividly improving the quality of the pictures within. Much like 1421, I think this book might be one best read and so when I have some time I will check out both from the library and have a good look at the pictures provided. The maps and artifacts demand visual representation that an audiobook simply can't provide. This was an entertaining book and was well narrated by Simon Vance, who has an excellent British accent. Maybe Audible could provide us with a PDF of these photos to further enhance our understanding of what could be a very clear and significantly different history from what we learned in school. Some other good histories were provided by Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs and Steel and a pair of books called 1491 and 1493, which also challenge the dogma we have been presented.
"The sordid history of modernity"
This is a global trip that takes us first to England, then to India and finally America. All the while sowing the seeds of why coal came to be used so frequently and why we would not be enjoying the use of our computers, wearing our colorful clothes or simply being fat and satisfied. This is the history of Industrialization itself. It made me realize that bigger countries or countries with the right resources have an unfair advantage. Coal is not the cleanest of fuels, but it is cheap and abundant in some places and after the English cut down trees to build house and simply keep warm they needed an alternate source of heat. Perhaps America became such a revered place after the discovery of what coal could do for it. A combination of things occurred to position the country for greatness. Coal was certainly the fuel for that abundance.
"A collection of the writers experiences"
This is a good overview of China and I often think of some of the words when I am walking around here now. The one that most comes to mind is disparity. I see the construction workers and cleaners who lead a hard scrabble life working all day and often sharing squalid dormitories at night, where they play cards and sit around simply constructed tables with stools playing cards or eating. This is in sharp contrast to the so called middle class guy that now has a car, an apartment, built by one of the hard working migrants mentioned above and all the trapping of success we have come to associate with a decent life.In all fairness, I live near Shanghai, so my perspective is perhaps a bit too optimistic. There are plenty of other provinces where this disparity is greater and the infrastructure isn't as modern as where I am based. Yu Hua gives us a great overview in this brief account of a large and complex country that is hurtling towards modernity. I especially liked his account of how he learned to be a dentist. A profession he took up after high school. He describes in poignant detail how a veteran dentist showed him how to extract teeth and then had him copycat the process after having only watched two times. He was nervous and couldn't even look the patient in the eye. The book is by no means an exhaustive work, but it was entertaining and provoked some better understanding of a place I have been in for nearly 5 years. Chinese people are not usually so forthcoming and so it can be a place that seems barbarous and even bizarre at times. It is always interesting and many times shocking and surprising to simply observe life in China.
"Man is the most dangerous animal"
We are introduced to a number of species and what led to their demise. It seems mostly big and slow to reproduce animals are doomed in man's world. We shot the great Auk, killed off the elephant from its once great number of 10 million to its now endangered level of 500 k and even things like the ocean have been altered by coral bleaching and ocean warming trends. I thought it was interesting that corals not only reproduce but also form shelters for smaller creatures. Man destroys the earth and sometimes even kills one another. This book and several others have convinced me that science is not always good for the earth. It is only good for man. The book is basically divided into chapters based on various extinct species and sums things up by helping us realize that we too may become extinct one day if we aren't good stewards to the animals, environment and one another. The reader was well paced and clear.I also liked The Ragged Edge of The World and anything written by Jared Diamond seems to also raise and awareness of how irresponsible we are being towards the world we live in.
"The world history of trains up to the present"
This was a great listen. The author starts out with the history of trains in England and moves on to take trains in India, China, Russia, Spain and yes even in America. All along the way he tells us why this is such a wonderful way to travel despite being slower than planes or buses at times. We learn that the federal government could have supported trains, but instead opted for roads, so now America is car dependent. We learn that Chicago was once the stop for pork and Texas the stop for beef. This hasn't changed much, since airline travel across the U.S. typically has us stopping in one of these cities before touching down where we intended to. I especially liked the part about India. A place where they have had a hard time maintaining the tracks, but the prices remain low and the system is still heavily used. Ghandi was one to complain about the industrial revolution and we come to realize that trains are still vital to today's movement of goods. People just don't seem to have the time to take a train. I always thought that technology would make life easier, but instead we are working more than ever. Maybe Ghandi was right and a return to a simpler life without so much virtual interference might benefit everyone including the planet itself. The reader was very enthusiastic and seemed very professional and it really was a great compliment to a story we should all understand. It was the first way that large numbers of people were moved from one place to another. It can help us understand what the future holds.
"travel that never leaves home"
Orphan has got to be the most popular author in Turkey right now. His books are piled up everywhere.It was hard for me to relate to his spoon fed life, but the story of his first love was poignant and his decision to become a writer even though his parents had him enrolled to be an architect was also very interesting. The book jumps all over the place chronologically and there is an awful lot about French writers who came to sum up Istanbul after only very short visits. Orhan describes the city as black and white and melancholy. These seem to be right on point and I tried to look at some of the dilapidated buildings that sit often nearby the fantastic mosques that are ubiquitous here. There are lots of small neighborhoods with steep winding streets to explore. The place is surrounded by sea and teems with vitality.This was really a biography and we learn about Orhan's childhood and sibling rivalries and a great deal about his personal life. I wonder what a book exploring places like Anatolia would read like. In the end, Istanbul appears different than other cities. There is a reverence for the past, but there is the same desperate passion to get rich quickly that every city seems to exude in it's hollow pursuit of money that really lies at its heart.
"Raises awareness of an on going issue"
My family immigrated from Scotland two generations back. Now I can see there are many people from Central and South America doing the same thing, but it has become very dangerous. furthermore, families are estranged from one another for years at a time as a result of this northern migration via train. It is definitely a hot button issue and it is a problem in many parts of the world. Frankly I can't see why some of these smaller countries can't come up with something to give their citizens a reason not to leave.Instead the politicians benefit from the sweat off these poor people's backs while not doing anything to give them hope for a brighter future for their families. I'm in Turkey right now and they have accepted 700,000 refugees from Syria. Lots of the people I have met are from Georgia, Pakistan and Iran. The Islamic world is far more cohesive than I had imagined. It is a bit off topic, but globalization is really bringing out the worst in bad countries, so people are not stupid. They will risk their lives for the prospect of a better life somewhere other than home. Enrique's story is one of tragedy and persistence to just get to the U.S. We take our easy lives for granted. Our forefathers must have also had a hard time adjusting, but we never risked losing limbs, robbery or rape just to escape the oppression of Europe.
"The story of a great struggle that continues today"
The book grabbed my attention right from the beginning. I could relate to Mike's status as the black sheep. He was very poor and lived in abandoned building growing up and became a thief at the age of 7. They would lift him up into open window and he would run around and open the door for the older guys. They also had a soft spot of pigeons, so we learn all about Mike's love affair with pigeons. Later Mike is sent to juvenile hall and although it is a reunion with many of his thug friend he ends up meeting a guy who teaches him how to box. His trainer Cuz Dmato taught him so many things and kept him out of trouble. Unfortunately, Cuz dies. Mike finally reaches Cuz's dream for him of being the heavyweight champ and does so at the tender age of 20. This was a poor kid and now he became a millionaire overnight. Needless to say, his trainers and Don King didn't have his best interests at heart and neither did Robin Givens. It seems that everyone wanted a piece of this guys success. He was lost and medicated himself with things like cocaine, marijuana, alcohol and numerous women. He was falsely accused of rape and went to jail for several years and still came back and kicked butt. Holyfield was head butting him when Mike bit off a piece of his ear, but we never heard about that side of the story. Mike is about my age and now has 8 kids from different wives, but he has settled down some. He keeps relapsing with drugs, so I think this is a guy that will one day be another Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson. He is a very talented man who doesn't know how to handle all that has been bestowed upon him. From listening to his book I know that he is a regular guy like you or me that was given a gift and worked very hard to make something special of himself only to throw it all away. Maybe his mind is set to fail no matter how well he does in this life. Good luck Mike. I hope you find some peace in this life.
"A mediocre adventure"
I had previously listened to The Elephant Whisperer last year while traveling through Sri Lanka, where I got to see Asian elephants up close. It was a very heartfelt book. Thinking The Last Rhinos would be a similar kind of book I came away somewhat disappointed. We are treated to lots of wildlife adventure, but the rhinos don't take center stage. Instead we learn all about Joseph Kony and the Lords Resistance Army in the Congo. The book descends into a very politically charged story. Later we hear a pretty decent tale of an escaped elephant and how Lawrence gets him to be an integral part of Thula Thula. There is a tragic ending that educates us about the rhinos plight, but there is more to it and I don't want to spoil the ending. This was a decent African bush adventure, and at times I felt like I was transported there. I suppose I still feel Elephant Whisperer was much better. For a really lighthearted African safari try the book Whatever You Do Don't Run, which had me in stitches. I only wish that it had been a bit longer. They mention another book called, Babylon's Ark, which I would gladly pick up, but it isn't on offer here. It was Mr. Lawrence's first book about the rescuing of animals in a zoo in Afghanistan.
"Paul's best work"
This was the book that made Paul famous. It isn't as long as the newer Ghost Train To The Eastern Star, which is also a revisit of this classic Paul Theroux. The description evoke vivid imagery throughout the fast paced trip. The narrator, however was a bit too fast paced. I would have been happier had he slowed down long enough for me to digest Paul's descriptive writing. I have taken the trains in China, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Sri Lanka. All are as dilapidated as Paul says they are, but they are cheap, slow and comfortable. A few of the Chinese trains are very sleek and clean now. The characters are what made these train books so great. I have to wonder if some of them aren't fictional. I met a few interesting people on the trains, but it was mostly traveling salesmen in China. I can speak fairly well, so interacting with the locals is what the train adventure is all about.

Make the Moshi Monsters Happy
In moshi monsters I adopted Poppet and wanna make she always happy is not too difficult at all. But the question is, why our pet monster should be happy? According to me, the pet monster especially Poppet will not be seen cute anymore if she is not happy. She will look so tired, and not exited.
The happiness level of our pet monster can be seen on the left indicator, right below the mood and health indicator. Actually, our pet monster's happiness is closely related with their mood. If your pet monster's happiness level is low, then their mood is commonly not good. Thus, when you gained the happiness level, it will be affecting to your pet monster's mood as well.
As you may already knew that Poppet is a type of monster on Moshi Monster that was very popular within the girls, although some boys are also like this type of monster like us. Maybe it was caused by the Poppet has lovely personalities and cute appearances.
To make your Poppet look so energetics is easy. The most simple way to make your Poppet's happiness level increased and have a good mood is by playing a puzzle. You can play both daily challenge puzzle and hall of puzzles. If you want to boost your happiness level within the short time, so you have to try playing Hall of puzzles as much as you can. And, should be underlined that the higher scores for each puzzle you can be reached, it will be better. Keep playing that Puzzles, no matter the types, until you feel your Pet monster has an appropriate mood and happiness level.
After all, that is a little tips from me to gain the happiness level of my Poppet remain high. My Poppet's happiness level previously was only 451, but after She play the Puzzles, her happiness level was increasing to 999. I think it's really worked. So, you can try to your own Pet monster.

Location Friendly staff
The magnetic strip of the room key doesn't work well.
I booked a premium 4 bed dorm. The room was great, very spacious and had good lockers as well as an iron. Bed was very comfy and had outlets and a personal light which was great. Toilets were ok. My room faced the L train which was quite noisy so be aware of that. Location wasn't too shabby. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Like Real Estate, It's ALL about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!! Everything at hand, excellent client service, and worth every penny!
The vending machines are "exact change only" :/
a fantastic hostel with big room, clear restroom, nice staff.
Great comfort. Impecable conditions. Awesome location.
The Stuff (Kyle) from the reception was really nice and helpful. Breakfast was totally fine, I was surprised how many I choices I had! I would always come again! One from the best hostel I ever stayed in:)
The breakfast room need to be cleaner!
I liked how cheap it was for what I was getting. :)
It was clean, Diversity and friendly atmosphere. Close to where i need to be.
there was odor to the blankets and pillows although sheets smelt clean. I suggest Pillow covers or wash pillows frequently and wash blankets. they should not have any odor of others.
I loved the laid back atmosphere, main common spaces. I loved the large screen TV!
It was great to have a free breakfast, but would have appreciated some protein and not all carbs...add some hard boiled eggs.
The staff are pretty nice people! If you have to share a room the other people in it are generally nice! It's a huge space! Everything is so nice for he cost!
My keycard door was rather difficult to use on my last day.
I loved the staff, they helped me with my many transportation questions (trains, etc) nice people in the front desk!
firmed bed and big space in the room. great breaskfast in the morning

Close to metro, noisy.
I appreciated the front desk staff accommodating my bottom bunk request.
Location was ideal!
Bathroom door clicked...no major complaints
Great location and facilities. Big dining room and good breakfast. Helpful staff in general
Constant use of key card (even on the elevator)
Price, cleanliness, breakfast (good coffee), location
No complaints
I met wonderful people from foreign lands. The location was great. The staff was very informative. and you can't beat the value! Fantastic time!!!
The mattress was very uncomfortable the first night. I switched to a different room the second night and the mattress was fine.
I was usually satisfied with other HI hostel in USA, but HI Chicago was even better than those! It was really big hostel, so the room was spacious. Also it is near the every tour spot of Chicago, so you can easily travel by walk.
Near the hostel, there was a railroad. So, it might be a bit noisy in some room. But for me, it was not that much especially at night.
Very clean, spacious rooms, friendly people and staff , great for lonely travellers , great way to make friends from all part of the world ! Excellent location!
The wi-if just worked on the second floor, maybe to force people to not stay inside of the room, and get in touch with other people.

Improve Your Memory
Tips to boost your memory and keep it strong for years to come.
By Sally Wadyka
Special Offers
Sometimes I think my memory is actually too good. Like when I realize I still know the lyrics to nearly every song released in the '80s. Or that I can recite, verbatim, lines from at least half a dozen episodes of Seinfeld and Sex and the City. But then I'll go to transfer a load of laundry into the dryer and discover that it's already dry; seems I forgot to ever turn on the washer. Or I'll forget my neighbor's name again. Could it be that sitcom dialogue and song lyrics are taking up so much brain space there's none left for remembering when my next dentist appointment is or whether I've mailed the mortgage payment this month?
There's certainly a lot more information to commit to memory these days. "I used to have one phone number, one bank account, and no passwords," my 73-year-old mother says wistfully. "Now, between work, home, and my cell, I have four phone numbers, plus a bank-account number and PIN, and at least seven passwords, including a code for the copy machine in my office."
She blames 21st-century information overload for her everyday memory lapses misplacing her glasses or walking into the kitchen only to forget what she needed there. "There's some truth to that," says Gary Small, M.D.,director of the Memory & Aging Research Center at UCLA. "And it's also likely that because there are more memory challenges now, our slips are more noticeable."
But Dr. Small won't let my mom or me off that easily. "Our lives may be more frenetic, but we actually have the capacity to remember much more than we do," he says. "We simply need to work on improving our attention."
Fortunately, research is yielding new ways to do that, to sharpen memory now and keep it strong as we get older. Read on for these short- and long-term strategies
Watch the experts at Good Housekeeping share their advice for improving your memory.
Tricks to Prime Your Memory
You've been chatting with another guest at a party. Afterward, you remember that she's a graphic artist and that her son goes to the middle school near your house, but you have no idea what her name is. How could you forget something so basic when you can recall those other details? In truth, you didn't. With all the facts that came at you in the course of your short conversation, you never really learned her name in the first place. Our ability to commit new information to memory slows down over the years, explains Glenn Smith, Ph.D., a neuropsychologist at the Mayo Clinic. In order to help the process along, you need to focus your mind. These tricks will help jog your memory by forcing you to pay attention.
Repeat yourself. Locking the door, taking your vitamins, unplugging the iron there's a reason they're called mindless tasks. To help get a routine activity lodged in your brain, say it out loud as you do it ("I'm popping my multi"), advises Cynthia Green, Ph.D., president of Memory Arts LLC, a company that provides memory fitness training. The same trick repeating aloud "I'm getting the scissors" fends off distraction as you head into the kitchen for them. Memory experts also advise that you repeat a person's name as you're introduced ("Hi, Alice") and again as you finish your conversation ("Nice talking with you, Alice"), but if that feels forced, just repeat the name to yourself as you walk away.
Bite off bigger pieces. Since your brain can process only so much information at a time, try chunking bits together. By repeating a phone number as "thirty-eight, twenty-seven" instead of "3, 8, 2, 7," you only have to remember two numbers, not four, Dr. Small points out. If you need to buy ground beef, milk, lettuce, cereal, and buns, you might think "dinner" (burgers, buns, lettuce) and "breakfast" (cereal and milk).
Give words more meaning. When you're introduced let's say to Sally you can make up a rhyme ("Sally in the alley") or connect the name to a song ("Mustang Sally"). Some people swear by devices like mnemonics. One New York City dog owner never leaves for the morning walk without her three b's (bags, biscuits, ball) and two t's (telephone, tissues).

An improved carb, a slightly larger bore for a very slight increase in displacement, and a better exhaust valve seat is what Saito said they did.

Any update on how things are going on now with your FG-21? It's quite confusing to notice you have had such a bad luck with the FG-21 while some others have found the engine to be reliable. Are you sure you haven't overpropped it? CH Ignition has experimented the Zama carb in conjunction with the FG-21 with good luck. Just for your consideration. Btw. why do you think you are luckier with the FG-30? |
Jan 11, 2013, 03:41 PM | |
The FG21 is $505.
W/the C&H conversion you can convert the FA125 to gas for just a little more than that & have a better ignition system & more reliable carburetor to boot. The system for applying the trigger magnet & hall sensor is much better on the C&H system too. It is much easier to set up & make adjustments than the Saito/RCEXEL system. C&H originated the synchrospark CDI systems back in 1997. I have 3 of those systems & they still work flawlessly. RCEXEL copied the module (but not the trigger magnet/sensor mounts) to make cheap Chinese knock offs. FA125 ..........................................$375 CH complete gas conversion kit..$150 Total............................................. .$525 Many end up replacing the module & carb on the Saito FG engine W/the C&H parts to get reliable operation. Why not just go the C&H route W/the FA125 in the 1st place & avoid the added expense/headaches? |

However, one thing that is confusing is the Zama in conjunction with the FG 20 seems to give about 8100-8300rpm with 16X6 evolution prop as peak according to Adrian's experiments . The original Saito carb seems to perform better what comes to max power output: about 8500-8800rpm with 16x6 apc or equivalent prop according to various tach readings reported? Why? |
Jan 12, 2013, 08:02 AM | |
I would bet that the difference is because one carb has a slightly larger venturi bore to it.
Latest blog entry: My new Gaui X5 Rc Helicopter
Jan 12, 2013, 09:10 AM | ||
Adrian seldom experiments W/ignition timing beyond the 28* initial setting. A bit more advance might also boost power output. It certainly does when burning methanol W/CDI. Adrian's tests could have been done on a day W/high humidity or windy conditions. I also suspect that some manifold work to blend the bore of the ZAMA carb to the manifold diameter would help. On my FA180HC CDI engine I gained .45HP when I modified an FA150 intake manifold to the ID of the FA220 Big Bore carb on the updraft portion & opened up the horizontal portion that joins the head to the size of the 180 intake port. I doubt that I would have seen that much gain from just bolting the big 12mm 220 Big Bore catb onto the standard 11mm bore FA180 intake manifold. Once CDI is introduced into the equasion, there is lots of room for various tweeks to maximize power output. That's why I convert all of my Saitos to CDI even though I still burn methanol feul. The ignition timing can be adjusted to take advantage of the various tuning needs that arrise. Besides, which is better, an engine that makes 8300 RPM of dependable power, or an engine that might make 300 RPM more that is unreliable? |

AskJeeves is rolling out its keyword-based advertiser program on Monday, August 1, 2005 in the first move to break away from a dependence upon Google ads for revenue. Even though the Ask network receives 70-percent of the revenue from the Google ads displayed upon the AskJeeves pages, the extra 30-percent would be a boon to this underdog search engine.
AskJeeves has a contract with Google until 2007 for the delivery of ads upon their search engine results pages. The new AskJeeves ads, however, until that time will be displayed above the Google ads, generating better click-through rates.
But the AskJeeves and its keyword-based advertising program also has some more ambitious goals. According to the MyWay website, "Jeeves will syndicate its ads onto other sites, including InfoSpace Inc. (INSP)'s (INSP) Dogpile, CNET Networks Inc. (CNET)'s (CNET) Search.com and ValueClick Inc. (VCLK)'s (VCLK) Search123."
Eyeballing the lucrative search engine ad market that Google and Yahoo have cashed in on, AskJeeves is also expected to start delivering ads to its other IAC/InteractiveCorp-owned websites as well. IAC acquired AskJeeves in March 2005 and owns other popular properties such as Expedia.com, CitySearch.com, Hotels.com, TicketMaster.com and Match.com.
Because the search engine marketing cash cow has now grown into an enormous size, its no wonder that the smaller engines want to mark off their stakes (or steaks) as well.

"I ordered the Tropical Sojourn wedding invites, along with personalized labels and thank you cards. I changed colours and added a picture and wasn't too sure how it would turn out....

I am so happy and thankful I ordered my wedding invitations with you. Thank you so much!!!"
"Great service & assistance by the designer to ensure our cards looked amazing with special pictures front & back. Happy with the final product."
"Beautiful, simplistic invitation if you want something classic and pretty without the bells and whistles. Perfect for my beach wedding.

Very pleased with all my WPD purchases."
"We ordered out free 8 samples and loved almost all of them, we had a last minute charge of heart on the original design selected and couldnt be happier with our choice! We love the boarding pass design, its fun and tropical for our destination wedding - we order in teal, on pearly paper with rounded edges, it turned out fantastic!"

Hansgrohe Unveils Five-Year Plan
Alpharetta, GA Hansgrohe has unveiled an "ambitious" five-year growth plan aimed at serving as part of a blueprint for the company as it strives to reach annual North American revenues of $100 million by 2008.
The growth plan, along with a new Vision Statement for the faucet and shower products manufacturer, was the product of six months of discussion among company managers, and was unveiled by Hansgrohe president Chris Marshall before an assembly of 300 employees near the company's headquarters in Alpharetta, GA.
The $100 million in revenue, if achieved, would represent a 40%
increase over projected sales of $60 million in 2003.
Hansgrohe entered the U.S. market in the late 1980s, and had less
than $3 million in U.S. sales only a decade ago. Hansgrohe's
German-based parent, Hansgrohe AG, was founded in 1901 and posts
annual worldwide revenues of some $400 million, according to the
Marshall characterized the 2008 sales goal of $100 million as a "five year promise" to the parent company in return for its multi-million investment in the Alpharetta production facility.
"The North American plumbing segment is a $4.3-billion
industry," Marshall told Hansgrohe employees. "Quite clearly, we
haven't even scratched the surface. There is so much more room to
grow, and with this growth will come great opportunity for all of

UPDATED: Friday, November 16, 2012 - 6:34pm
Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — If there's any good news to today's rig fire, it's that no one is expecting a repeat of the 2010 BP spill.
An oil expert at LSU told NBC33 that the type of oil in this incident is different that it oil associated with the Deepwater Horizon incident in 2010.
This oil is lighter, is expected to evaporate naturally and is expected to be gone after a few days.
Dr. Ed Overton, with LSU's School of Coast and Environmental Science, said that this incident is also much easier to deal with because we know how much oil crews are dealing with; the oil in this incident came from onboard the rig, which means officials already know the highest amount of oil that can spill into the gulf.
"This was fuel contained in a pipeline that was on the rig - the Deepwater Horizon was a reservoir, flowing into the gulf. This is nothing like that," stated Overton. "It was a limited and finite amount, so it's nothing close to the Deepwater incident."
The Coast Guard says at the very most, 75 gallons of oil could of spilled into the Gulf of Mexico.
Early reports show a sheen about a half mile by 200 yards wide.

New Trailer for 'Rock of Ages' Brings The 80's Back With A Vengeance [VIDEO]
It's all about the great hair and hairspray, tattoos and big egos, and a monkey named Hey Man in the newly released trailer for "Rock of Ages."
First Look At Alec Baldwin & Russell Brand In 'Rock of Ages' Movie [PHOTO]
The story is about a small town girl named Sherrie (Julianne Hough) and a city boy named Drew (Diego Boneta) who embark on the journey of pursuing their dreams of Rock and Roll, while falling in love. Drew wants to be just like his idol Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise), the washed out rock star who used to rule the '80s.
And why wouldn't he? Tom Cruise replaces Bon Jovi in the trailer with a cover of "Wanted Dead or Alive," in his gorgeous locks and bare chest. We certainly aren't complaining!
Tom Cruise's Singing for 'Rock of Ages' Is 'Fantastic' Says Katie Holmes [AUDIO]
So, dust off your greasy wigs and prepare yourself for some nostalgia as you travel back to the greatest music from the '80s: Journey, Poison and Def Leppard, amongst many more.
Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Russell Brand, Mary J. Blige, Malin Akerman, Bryan Cranston, Paul Giamatti, Will Forte and Kevin Nash also star in this summer blockbuster, which is scheduled to release on June 15th.
