Coup D'etat: Pentagon & Obama Declare Congress Ceremonial
Congressman Jones introduces bill that would subject Panetta & Obama to impeachment
Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution. Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress's exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress's exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.Under the terms of Jones' resolution, both Panetta and Obama would be subject to impeachment for abusing their power and violating the Constitution in disregarding the authority of Congress and placing a foreign power above its jurisdiction. Despite the Pentagon's efforts to claim that Panetta's words were misinterpreted, the Obama administration itself has routinely cited the authority of the United Nations in relation to last year's invasion of Libya, which was conducted without approval from Congress. In June last year, President Obama arrogantly expressed his hostility to the rule of law when he dismissed the need to get congressional authorization to commit the United States to a military intervention in Libya, churlishly dismissing criticism and remarking, "I don't even have to get to the Constitutional question." Obama tried to legitimize his failure to obtain Congressional approval for military involvement by sending a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner in which he said the military assault was "authorized by the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council." In boldly asserting the authority of international powers over and above the legislative branch, Panetta and Obama are openly declaring that they no longer represent the American people and instead are water carriers for a global dictatorship that has usurped the sovereignty of the United States.
Introducing a bill and getting it even up for a vote on this is in the category of slim to nil chance.
John Boehner is not going to let it happen!
Frankly this is not an issue that should be brought to the floor 9 months before the election. This is the type of distraction the media would love to play and paint republicans with.
Is Obama and Leon Baby dead wrong on the briefing Leon gave to the Senate. Yes, but watch the other hand with these guys, that is what is really going on.
John Kay, Sir!
I'm not to sure about Boehner with his RINO Leanings-were it not for those supported by the Tea Parties, he would go along with Obama, note how after he meets with him he wants to go along and seems to agree with him. I've long thought he leaned toward the Progressives, but he wants to remain Speaker and needs their support.

NHS Wales' medical negligence payouts doubles to £38m
The cost of medical negligence payouts by the NHS in Wales almost doubled over the past three years, rising by £18m.
Figures obtained by BBC Wales show the cost of failures such as botched operations cost taxpayers £38m in the 12 months to April 2012.
The rise in both claims and their cost - totalling £84.3m over the last three years - has led the Welsh government to increase the Welsh risk pool by £16m.
It cited "no-win, no-fee" cases and increased life expectancy for the rise.
However, lawyers said a change to gradual payouts and a rise in compensation for cerebral palsy sufferers played a part.
"Start Quote
End Quote Stephen Webber, solicitor Hugh JamesSome people think that a compensation pay-out is like a lottery win, but it isn't - clinical negligence can devastate a family's life"
Six of Wales' seven health boards provided figures for the Freedom of Information request by BBC Wales. Abertawe Bro Morgannwg Health Board said it was still collating its statistics.
The number of settled cases where compensation was paid for clinical negligence rose for all health boards except Powys Teaching Health Board, which had fewer than 15 claims over three years.
However, the health board saw the largest increase in settlements, rising from just £131,485 to almost £6.5m in that time.
The health board pointed out that this was due "a single historical case dating to before the formation of the health board".
Cases settled by Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board more than doubled in the three years to April 2012, totalling £22.8m, an increase of almost £6.3m.
The Welsh government has paid an extra £15.8m into the Welsh Risk Pool in 2011/2012.
This pool works as a kind of insurance for health boards, the money is used to reimburse health boards for claims exceeding £25,000.
The total amount paid out from the risk pool to health boards for compensation cases rose to £49.7m in 2011/2012.
Stephen Webber, head of medical negligence for Cardiff-based solicitors Hugh James, said: "Compensation claims have changed.
"Previously, families who claimed compensation because their child had cerebral palsy because of obstetrical negligence, for example, would receive one lump sum of money.
"But now they receive a smaller lump sum and an annual payment each year. This means that the amount of money paid out each year will increase."
Mr Webber said cerebral palsy cases can also distort claim figures as compensation for these cases has also increased.
He added: "We used to settle those cases for around £4m. Now, compensation can be around £10m.
"The cost of care has increased dramatically, as well as the cost of specialist equipment.
"Where compensation is paid, the law says that health boards have a duty to put that child back in the place they would have been without the disability. That means it's incredibly expensive.
"Some people think that a compensation payout is like a lottery win, but it isn't. Clinical negligence can devastate a family's life."
'Obtaining justice'Welsh Conservative health spokesman Darren Millar AM said said that cuts in budget could be leading to more negligence cases.
He said: "We've got an NHS that's facing mounting financial pressure. There's a big jump in the number of cases and the amount paid out which means there must be something wrong with the system.
"I think the increase of 'no win, no fee' solicitors has had a part to play, but also I think that staff are finding it difficult to do their jobs because of financial pressure."
A spokesman for the Welsh government said 'no win, no fee' claims and increased life expectancy had increased the value of claims.
He added that more claims may have been made due to an awareness of its Putting Things Right arrangement.
"Every year, thousands of patients receive high quality, safe and effective treatment, but in a modern health system - where increasingly complicated procedures are being undertaken - mistakes can still occur," he said.
"When his happens, the NHS must investigate, and take action, where appropriate and provide assurances and feed back to patients," he added.
But Desmond Hudson, chief executive of the Law Society of England and Wales said: "Conditional fees, or no win, no fee arrangements, currently provide the only method available to most victims of obtaining justice.
"If government is having to place more money in the Welsh Risk Pool, this implies that negligence in Welsh hospitals is increasing, that more people are aware of the right to claim compensation or that the financial impacts of negligence - the costs of care etc - have become even more serious."

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Chiefs can't keep up with Tigers, 35-7
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Coming into Friday's District 4-4A football opener against the undefeated Frenship Tigers, the Lake View Chiefs knew they'd have to play their best game of the season to pull off a monumental upset.
The powerful Tigers were as good as advertised, as they rolled to a 35-7 blowout win at San Angelo Stadium.
Frenship's Trevor Lloyd and Chandler Casey scored two touchdowns apiece, and running back Grant Sandercox had a game-high 151 yards rushing and one TD.
The Tigers finished with 315 yards on the ground on 33 carries (9.5 yards a pop), while limiting the Chiefs to a season-low 134 yards on 32 carries.
Lake View running back Eli Peterson entered the game with 937 yards rushing and 10 TDs to lead the Concho Valley, but he was bottled up all night against the Tigers. He finished with 19 yards on 13 carries.
"I felt like our first (team) defense was outstanding," Frenship head coach Brad Davis said after his team improved to 6-0 overall and 1-0 in district. "I thought they played really, really well.
"Our first offense looked good at times and kind of sputtered at times, but overall we're pleased with the win and being 1-0 (in district) and beating a good Lake View team."
Lake View dropped to 2-4 and 0-1 heading into next Friday's game at Plainview.
Chiefs head coach Doug Kuhlmann thought his team got off to a strong start in the first quarter before things started to get out of hand in the second.
"We fought hard defensively early and it kept us in the game," Kuhlmann said. "They got that interception return for a touchdown and that kind of took more wind out of our sails and that was a big momentum boost for Frenship.
"Those quick scores really hurt us going in at halftime. But I was so proud of our overall playing throughout the game and playing tough. We've just got to learn from our mistakes."
Before the Tigers scored a pair of TDs in a 10-second span in the second quarter, it looked like the Chiefs might be within striking distance heading into the second half.
But a 25-yard TD pass from Trevor Eulenbach to Lloyd at the 7:14 mark of the second, followed by a 25-yard interception return for another score by Casey, stretched Frenship's advantage to 21-0 at the break. Lloyd's TD reception came on a fourth-and-7.
The Tigers opened the scoring with a 76-yard TD run by Sandercox with 1:58 remaining in the first quarter.
Sandercox finished with 114 yards rushing on eight carries in the first half, as the Tigers amassed 172 yards on the ground.
Lake View quarterback Nick Martinez gave the Chiefs a needed spark on their final set of downs in the first half, as he ran for 27 yards on a first down from midfield.
However, the Chiefs stalled out at the 34 on back-to-back incomplete passes by the junior QB.
Martinez scored on a 29-yard run with 3:28 remaining in the fourth quarter to prevent a shutout. He finished with a team-high 86 yards on 10 carries.
But Martinez had trouble throwing the ball all night, as he was 6 of 16 passing for 41 yards, in addition to being picked off a career-high four times.
The Tigers rolled to a 42-0 shutout against the Chiefs last year in Wolfforth, but Kuhlmann said Lake View was a lot more competitive this time around.
"Last year, they beat us early and took control very quickly and we were out of the game immediately," Kuhlmann said. "I felt like we were out of the game early in the first half.
"And tonight we were in it for a long time. Again, it was just the inability of our offense to continuously move the football."
Lake View linebacker Taylor House said he thought the Chiefs had their chances early on.
"I believe that we could've done more," House said. "We just dug our grave and couldn't get out of it. It was nice to not to be shut out."
Frenship will try to stay unblemished next Friday when the Tigers host Lubbock Monterey.

In 2010, Western Bulldogs forward Jason Akermanis embrolied himself and the AFL in controversy after writing a opinion piece on homosexuality within the AFL. Akermanis's comments attracted worldwide attention after he said that 'homoerotic activites are normal inside a club' and that gay players should not be open about their sexuality.

AFL has had it's head in the sand, suburban football and it's players, for years have been involved in playing whilst taking hard drugs including supplying/selling. Supplements now the rage, lot of bulked up teens playing suburban footy today. As for betting on the footy/sport, WE WERE WARNED WHAT WOULD/COULD HAPPEN if introduced. Am I surprised by the recent revelations? No not at all.
ReplyHow naive are we as a country if we believe that we are sqeaky clean. There has been players in the recent years who have been associated with the under world element so where there is smoke there is fire. Go through the lot of them and source the supplier(s) and throw the book at them. Yes the athletes are fitter than years ago but all on their own? Hope this is the shake up that is needed and eradicates the gutter tribe pushers for ever.

2) The use of "marks" is outdated and misleading. marks are now a thing of the past (minus the omega and romulan marks) and have been replaced with dilithum, as is the notion of buying ships using energy credits. Again, ships now cost dilithum or zen, not marks, not energy credits, not cryptic points.
3) Arrangement and organization needs attention. Quite frankly, the ships are listed in order of function and rank, but variants are slightly mishy mashy and helter skelter. You should split the ship charts into faction specific, separate charts. It would help with the arrangement issue somewhat, but that's my opinion.
The shipcharts need 'alot' of love, I kind of gave up on them a while ago as the variants and lockbox ships started to get added, since they started to complicate things. I was working on a new version that was simpler but then the fleet ships then got added and at that point I realized the entire tier system was to messy to actually make a nice simple diagram of!
I might update the ship charts again, but it won't be for a while I don't think. If I do, I'll still keep them as Klingon and Federation ships together though, since it helps show the equievelent ships of the enemy faction. As you can tell by your comments, things get outdated so fast when maintaining these charts!

one of the best golfers; RYDER CUP 1927 2006 VALHALLA.
Byline: JAMES McNAMARAHE may be one of the best golfers in the world but Nick Faldo is never going to be let loose on the international catwalk.
The captain of the European Ryder Cup team is responsible for choosing the uniform for the rest of his golfing colleagues. Faldo has fearlessly sacrificed style for comfort, going for flight wear of suede zip-up jackets, blue polo shirts and brown slacks. And on the course of Valhalla khaki slacks, khaki and white polo shirts and a khaki baseball cap put the finishing touches to the most bland Ryder Cup uniform in history. The sports casual look plumped for by Faldo wouldn't look out of place hanging in Alan Partridge's wardrobe.
Let's hope the boring clothes with a style bypass aren't a reflection of the European team's form on the green.

ALASKA | 20th Annual Shamanic Retreat with Brant Secunda
- Religion & Spirituality
- Juneau, Alaska
The Healing Way of Shamanism | Santa Cruz Spring WorkshopDance of the Deer FoundationFriday, May 2, 2014 at 7:00 PM - Sunday, May 4, 2014 at 5:00 PM (PDT) |
Join world renowned shaman Brant Secunda for a weekend retreat focused on the healing essence of water. Learn about the spiritual energy of the sea and embrace her power of beauty through practical, yet powerful exercises. Haramara, the Huichol word for the ocean, has long been linked with the power of healing. Come learn to connect with all water in a sacred way, creating a bond between your soul and the world of nature.
Brant Secunda completed a 12-year apprenticeship in Mexico with the late Don José Matsuwa to become a shaman, healer and ceremonial leader in the indigenous Huichol tradition. Living in the Sierra Madre Mountains, the Huichol are considered to be one of the last tribes in North America to have preserved their pre-Columbian traditions. Members of the international medical, spiritual and educational communities, including the World Health Organization, have recognized Brant's commitment, as well as the knowledge he has been sharing for over three decades.
The Dance of the Deer Foundation Center for Shamanic Studies was founded by Brant Secunda in 1979 with the goal of supporting the Huichol Indians in keeping their shamanic traditions alive, preserving their cultural and economic survival, and to bring the power and joy of this ancient wisdom to our modern world.

TERRY MATTINGLY: Ministering to the 'zombies' among us: 'Is this living?'
It seems to happen whenever Steve Beard hangs out with friends — especially folks who don't go to church — talking about movies, television and whatever else is on their minds.
"It may take five minutes or it may take as long as 10, but sooner or later you're going to run into some kind zombie comment," said Beard, editor of Good News, a magazine for United Methodist evangelicals. He is also known for writing about faith and popular culture.
"Someone will say something like, 'When the zombie apocalypse occurs, we need to make sure we're all at so-and-so's house so we can stick together.' It's all a wink-and-a-nod kind of deal, but the point is that this whole zombie thing has become a part of the language of our time."
Tales of the living dead began in Western Africa and Haiti, and these movies have been around as long as Hollywood has been making B-grade flicks. However, the modern zombie era began with filmmaker George A. Romero's classic "Night of the Living Dead" in 1968, which led to his "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead." Other directors followed suit, with hits such as "28 Days Later," ''Zombieland," ''The Evil Dead" and "Shaun of the Dead." Next up, Brad Pitt in the epic "World War Z," due June 21, which could turn into a multimovie franchise.
In bookstores, classic-literature lovers will encounter a series of postmodern volumes clustered under the title "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." Also, video-game fans have purchased more than 50 million copies of the "Resident Evil" series, and these games have inspired countlessothers.
But anyone who is interested in the worldview — if not the theology — of zombie life must come to grips with the cable-television parables offered in the AMC series "The Walking Dead." This phenomenon, said Beard, has become so influential that it cannot be ignored by clergy, especially those interested in the kinds of spiritual questions that haunt people who avoid church pews.
Truth is, "The Walking Dead" is not "about zombies. It's a show about people who are trying to figure out the difference between mere survival and truly living," he stressed in a telephone interview.
"How do you decide what is right and what is wrong? How do you stay sane, in a world that has gone crazy? ... Where is God in all of this? That's the unspoken question."
In his classic book "Gospel of the Living Dead," religious-studies scholar Kim Paffenroth of Iona College argued that Romero's zombie movies borrowed from one of the key insights found in Dante's "Inferno" — that hell's worst torments are those humanity creates on its own, such as boredom, loneliness, materialism and, ultimately, separation from God.
As a final touch of primal spirituality, Romero — who was raised Catholic — added cannibalism to the zombie myth.
"Zombies partially eat the living. But they actually only eat a small amount, thereby leaving the rest of the person intact to become a zombie, get up, and attack and kill more people, who then likewise become zombies," argues Paffenroth. Thus, the "whole theme of cannibalism seems added for its symbolism, showing what humans would degenerate into in their more primitive, zombie state."
The point, he added, is that "we, humans, not just zombies, prey on each other, depend on each other for our pathetic and parasitic existence, and thrive on each (other's) misery."
This is why, said Beard, far too many women and men seem to be staggering through life today like listless shoppers wandering in shopping malls, their eyes locked on their smartphones instead of the faces of loved ones. Far too often their lives are packed with stuff, but empty of meaning.
Romero and his artistic disciples keep asking a brutal question: This is living?
"One of the big questions in zombie stories is the whole 'Do zombies have souls?' thing," said Beard. "But that kind of question only leads to more and more questions, which is what we keep seeing in 'The Walking Dead' and other zombie stories. ...
"If zombies no longer have souls, what does it mean for a human being to be soulless? If you have a soul, how do you hang onto it? Why does it seem that so many people today seem to have lost their souls?"

Complementary and Alternative Treatments for High Blood Pressure
In this article
There are many different types of complementary and alternative treatments believed to be effective for treating high blood pressure (hypertension). Scientific evidence indicates that a diet that is low in saturated fat and salt and rich in complex carbohydrates (vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and fruits), increased physical activity, and regular practice of relaxation techniques such as yoga, Tai Chi, or Qigong, can help to lower high blood pressure.
Heart-Healthy Diet and Exercise
Your doctor says you need to make some changes in your life, especially with your diet and exercise. Perhaps you're wondering: Will it really make a difference? Do you really need to make those changes if you're taking medicine for your heart? The answer is yes. Your lifestyle does matter -- a lot.
Read the Heart-Healthy Diet and Exercise article > >
Diet to Lower High Blood Pressure
One of the simplest and most effective ways to lower your blood pressure is to eat a healthy diet, such as the DASH diet. Doctors recommend:
- Eating more fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy foods
- Cutting back on foods that are high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and total fat
- Eating more whole grain products, fish, poultry, and nuts
- Eating less red meat and sweets
- Eating foods that are rich in magnesium, potassium, and calcium
Physical Activity to Lower Blood Pressure
A solid body of evidence shows that men and women of all age groups who are physically active have a decreased risk of developing high blood pressure. Findings from multiple studies indicate that exercise can lower blood pressure as much as some drugs can. People with mild and moderately elevated blood pressure who exercise 30 to 60 minutes three to four days per week (walking, jogging, cycling, or a combination) may be able to significantly decrease their blood pressure readings.
Blood Pressure, Breathing, and Stress Management
Blood pressure increases when a person is under emotional stress and tension, but whether or not psychological interventions aimed at stress reduction can decrease blood pressure in patients with hypertension is not clear.
Nevertheless, recent studies suggest that ancient relaxation methods that include controlled breathing and gentle physical activity, such as yoga, Qigong, and Tai Chi, are beneficial. People with mild hypertension who practiced these healing techniques daily for two to three months experienced significant decreases in their blood pressure, had lower levels of stress hormones, and were less anxious.
The results of a recent small study suggest that a daily practice of slow breathing (15 minutes a day for 8 weeks) brought about a substantial reduction in blood pressure. However, these findings need to be confirmed in larger and better-designed studies before these ancient healing techniques are recommended as effective non-pharmacological approaches to treating hypertension. Still, possible benefits, coupled with minimal risks, make these gentle practices a worthwhile activity to incorporate into a healthy lifestyle.
Note: It is important that inactive older people or those with chronic health problems be evaluated by their doctor before starting a program of any physical activity, including Tai Chi, Qigong, or yoga.

We visited this shack like restaurant on 4 lunchtime occasions and found it to be excellent. The barbecued sardines and the Arroz de Marisco were delicious and it was full of locals which is always a great recommendation
Very nice beachfront restaurant with good selection of seafood and local produce.Very popular with local clientele and reasonably priced - the local sardines are particularly nice and prepared on an open barbecue in front of the restaurant.A real touch of genuine Spain!
Have them for lunch....with a beer ! Great wee place and authentic. Lively with locals at weekend and great view over the boats.
This Chiringuito is situated beside a walkway which is frequented by tourists, yet virtually none of them eat here; this is a pity, because they don't know what they are missing. It may be because the place looks a bit like a shack, tucked in behind the modern apartments and hotels of the Punta del Moral, or the fact that... More

Straight No Chaser - I Want You Back
Artist: Straight No Chaser
Producer: Straight No Chaser
Album: Under The Influence
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 12 votes )
If NASA asked me to select a single song to beam into space, as representative of humanity's greatest achievements in the arena of pop music, my hands-down selection would be the Jackson 5's I Want You Back. It's just that damn good. While there's no improving on perfection, Booth newcomers Straight No Chaser put a fresh and impressive twist on the 1969 classic on single numero uno off their next studio album. A 10-piece a cappella group formed while the members were attending Indiana University, the Atlantic Records signees faithfully recreate the record's instrumental backdrop as singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles delivers an inspired rendition of the young MJ's lead vocals. Think Straight, No Chaser did justice to the Jacksons' beloved debut single? If so, you'll be able to hear more from this talented ensemble on their Under the Influence LP, set to hit record stores and online retailers May 7.

Looking at the map you could get 15 to 20 guys that we know of, and if we can get a flyer distributed to LHS in that region you can pick up several more pilots and spectators that are interested in seeing 3DHS planes in action (we did in FL). I see your going to SEFF so we can talk more there but I will get more info up on organizing soon. Thanks Rob |

Songs: The Anti-Valentines Play List
Valentines Day is upon us and while I love all things to do with love, I can't help but find that as I grow older, my tolerance for the day fades. It's fake and pretentious and filled with annoying couples who decides they must go out to celebrate on this day to show the world how happy they are. To celebrate I am sharing my Anti-Valentines Day Bollywood playlist, which is full of my favourite sad Bollywood songs.

Fashion | Sonam Kapoor at Armani Privé Couture 2015
Paris Couture Week 2015 is in full swings and raising the flags for all of us Desis is Sonam Kapoor.
While I don't love this outfit (waist up she looks flawless, but the culottes are way weird), there is no doubt Sonam is owning every inch of this look, in a way only she can. That's one of the amazing things about her, she embraces every look she wears and follows through with appropriate hair and makeup.

TRENDS | Negative Space Nails
Negative space nails; where bare nails peek through. This was a huge trends seen on the Spring 2015 catwalks, and set to be the new french manicure. It looks chic and really polished, plus there's always something so sexy, yet subtle when bare nails peek through.
Negative space nails seen on the Spring 2015 catwalks:
Charlotte Ronson Spring 2015 |
Bibhu Mohapatra Spring 2015 |
Houghton Spring 2015 |
Sophie Theallet Spring 2015 |
The Houghton nails were painted with OPI Samoan Sands, then a matte top coat, so while not technically a negative space, you can easily skip out on this sheer polish and go straight with the black dots on naked nails.
This is a trend that I'm really excited about. I think it would look amazing as coloured tips on bare nails instead of the usual white tips for french manicures.
What are your thoughts? Is this a nail trend you'll be eager to try?
Keep an eye out for our interpretations of it.

Make Up Rants | and She Did Her Own Hair and Makeup...
Asian weddings in the UK have turned into such big, lavish affairs. Every couple it seems has a great amount disposable income. One of the most irrelevant costs? Bridal Makeup. Off the top of my head, I had quotes for £400 per event (2 years ago) for an Asian Bridal Makeup Artist. Friends of mine who married recently paid upwards of £800 this year. I see your jaw has dropped. This is on the "cheaper" side actually and to have any of the "top international celebrity makeup artists" turn your face in someone you don't even recognise anymore can cost more than £1000. Per event. Typical Asian weddings are 3 to 4 events and, let's not forget you'll have to pay the travelling costs for the make up artists to come to your house/venue. Overused words in the Asian industry; "celebrity", "exclusive", "couture", "designer", and "stunning".
My issues;
1. The price: I don't care how talented makeup artists think they are. These prices they demand are extortionate. I understand they did a course and they'll typically spend 3+ hours with a bride (although I assume they do slow some processes out so they can justify the price), but seriously, £1000? and why do they insist on changing people's faces so much that they look unrecognisable. Why do people still match the eye shadows to the outfit? That look was never in and will never be in. Why do they want to make people "fairer"? Why slap on so much make up on that your face looks like a cake and please don't say you need lots so it photographs better. What is wrong with your skin looking like actual skin?
2. The brides: WHY DO YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE SOMEONE ELSE?!??! Sure it's your wedding day and you want to "look a bit different", but you should look recognisable as you. I went to a wedding last year, and despite being friends with the bride, when she turned up I did a double take. Was it her, was it her sister, was it a cousin, was it just someone who looked a bit like her? I wasn't even sure who it was. Girls, if you don't wear makeup on a regular basis you'll end up looking so different that any future children won't recognise mommy in the photos. Yes the Kim Kardashian contouring is super beautiful, but don't alter your features so much that you're not longer you. You'll end up looking weird if you don't usually wear so much slap. Why don't you just want to look like a better version of yourself instead of looking like someone else. Your husband chose you, he loves you and must be attracted to you on some levels, so why don't you love you like he does? Most guys prefer natural looking makeup, but here you go and wanna look like bride of Chucky. Just don't do it.
3. Makeup artists don't know best: During a trial I had, one insisted on using a Mac foundation on my face. Despite me telling her I was allergic to Mac foundations. She said this one was "different" and I won't break out. It was just a trial so I let her. Came home a few hours later and my face started exploding with spots. Also she caked my face so much that my skin felt really suffocated. This was despite me saying I want my skin to look like skin, not a layer of paint. There is no way I would let one near my face (an Asian makeup artist that is). Asian makeup artists in the UK just wants to pile products on and on. They don't understand the concept that "less is more". They'll call their own work "stunning". They like to over flatter themselves and their work. FIY complimenting your own work is cheap and trashy. I recently saw a picture of someone's work which she described as fresh and dewy skin. All I could see was awful blush. So bad that it looked like she gave the model rosacea.Asian Bridal Makeup looks cheap, garish and not to mention ghastly.
4. You can do your own makeup: It's YOUR face, you've spent years mastering that canvas. No one knows it better than you. So why not do your own makeup. It's what I did. Partly because I thought it was ridiculous that someone could demand so much money for so little work. Secondly I thought I could just buy myself lots more makeup with that money saved. Thirdly my husband said I looked like a "ghost" when he saw me post the trial (the makeup artist actually was pretty good for an Asian bridal artist). He thought the foundation was too heavy (which it was) and she had altered my eye shape with the eyeshadow and eyeliner (because I guess she didn't think mine should look like how she thought they should look). Don't be scared of doing your makeup. Practice lots beforehand, and take pictures with flash to see how it fares under harsh lighting. You might need to add more to certain features so they pop under photography lights but adding tons of foundation to your skin is never a good look. e.g. you might to deepen the eyeshadow colours, or add more of an intense liner. The amount of bride whose face I've wanted to wash off for them because looking at them becomes painful.
5.Why does your hair have to be in an awful updo? why, why, why? If you normally leave your hair open, then that's probably what suits you best. You don't need a beehive on your head just because it's your wedding day. It looks awful, you look awful, your head must actually hurt and it looks like some bird is actually about to hatch and fly out of there.
Here are some pictures from my wedding week. Makeup all done by me, with Nigar doing my eyeliner (coz she' gets it so perfect every time). I looked like me, looked great in pictures, my husband loved it (I mean he recognised me!), no regrets whatsoever. If I had to do it all over again I would do it exactly the same! Well maybe darken my eyebrows a little bit more, in some pictures it looked like I had none...
My face looks really slim in these pictures and that's because I was 10 kg lighter then. |
I looked like me, this is a similar amount of makeup I'd wear on a regular basis and to someone else's wedding. And most importantly I felt like me, which feels like a confident and relaxed person. Did I want to worry about my lashes falling off? No (I wear them on a regular basis, and can apply them in no time at all). If you're not used to wearing false lashes it'll feel weird (opt for real hair lashes instead of synthetic, it makes a world of difference). Whatever it is you do, you want to feel comfortable as discomfort will show on your face and forever in the pictures (I'm not sharing pictures I have of other brides because we're friends and I'd like to keep it that way).
So do you think Asian bridal makeup artists are worth the price they ask for? Well clearly a lot you do which is why they manage to stay in business.
Are they worth it? Doing your own bridal makeup, yay or nay?
What do you think of me doing my own? Share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.
Have a beautiful week guys.
Input by Nigar:
I agree with everything Kayennat said in this post, but would like to add another question. Where did this culture of wearing so much wearing on our wedding days come from?
I mean seriously, take a look at these images here, from the WedMeGood website, and compare them to the pictures you see in the British Asian Bridal Mags. Its a world of difference.

Travel Diaries | Quad Bike at Andrea Lodge
We had a quad bike session at Andrea Lodge, organised by Big Foot Adventures. The weather was pretty horrid the days leading to the day, with heavy rainfall, and we thought that we might have to cancel. We braved it and went anyway, which turned out to be great as quad biking in mud is way more fun than quad biking on dry lands.
We drove up a dirt track to end up at the lodge, which had some pretty stunning views.
The brown is the mud from the mouth of the river! The heavy rains before this caused a lot of mud to be dislodged as you will see in the picture of the waterfall!
We were given our sexy gear, and saftey talks by our two guides, Akshay and Rodney and we saddled up. Akshay even gave me a helmet that could hold my GoPro, however the memory card ran out of memory before we even left the compound.
Most of us decided to double up and change drivers halfway through.
I had actually toppled over with a quad bike the last time I was in Mauritius, and the group constantly reminded me of it. Grr....
The quad "track" was the dirt roads through the sugar cane fields.
We were greeted by gorgeous blue skies,
The great thing about the prior week raining meant there was lots of muddy puddles to drive through. I got soaked more than a few times.
This is where I (nigar) got most muddy. Went straight through it!
We had a little river crossing, which Akshay (on the right) and Rodney (on the left) had to get off and hold the chains for us to cross with our bikes,
and were promptly greeted by stunning views of the sea (you can't swim in these waters).
This beach looked incredible, calm, serene and no one else there. There was a wooden ladder going down to it, although I have no idea how safe it would have been. We didn't take the chance....
We got of and went to take
I mean really, does scenery get much better than this??
We got back on our bikes and these two (the same 2 who were looking over the rocks), drove straight into the fields. Women drivers *wink wink*.
Our next stop; Rochester Falls. Normally a waterfall with crystal clear waters, but it was pretty muddy with all the rains.
Being near waterfalls is pretty rejuvenating, and it is something to do with the huge amount of ions they contain. You can read all about it here.
If you've seen the movie Ek Villain, you might recognise this waterfall as where Shraddha Kapoor and her villain goes to play with butterflies. There was a young boy named Rajeev selling coconuts, and we all bought one, plus ate the cream inside the coconut, knows as "malai".
We then drove back to the lodge, trough the fields.
This was a really fun day out and well worth the promotional offer we had (Rs 1200 per person if you shared a bike, or Rs 2000 rupees if you didn't want to share a bike. Our guides, Akshay, and Rodney were professional, and we got to view some beautiful places that are otherwise inaccessible by cars/public transport. Well worth it and highly recommended. We were so muddy after this we took a beach recommendation from the owner (Riambel Beach) and we set off to jump in the sea (to follow).
The details:
Address: Andrea Lodge, Riviere des Anguilles, Savanne, South Mauritius
How to get there: Taxi or by car. No bus will go there.
Entrance fee: Depends on promotions available at the time. Check their Facebook for current details.

Books | Goodreads Book of the Year 2014: Landline by Rainbow Rowell
Ever read a book with a lot of expectations but left feeling meh? I typically get along with Goodreads recommendations as I find them pretty accurate, but their book of the year 2014, Landline by Rainbow Rowell left me very underwhelmed to say the least. Over 46,000 people voted for it as Book of the Year.
To stalk what I read on Goodreads, click here.
The blurb:
Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble; it has been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems beside the point now.
Maybe that was always beside the point.
Two days before they're supposed to visit Neal's family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can't go. She's a TV writer, and something's come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her — Neal is always a little upset with Georgie — but she doesn't expect him to pack up the kids and go home without her.
When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she's finally done it. If she's ruined everything.
That night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It's not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she's been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts . . .
Is that what she's supposed to do?
Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened?
The book is essentially a journey of Georgie talking to her husband in the past and she struggles with whether she should rekindle that relationship during an earlier breakup. I liked all the relationship questions it posed and resolved but that's all that was good with it. She speaks to her husband through an old telephone (that somehow calls him in the past on a telephone that he no longer has, and she can't get hold of her husband in the present as he's either always out or the children drains his battery by playing games on it). And that's my main gripe with it. It's not a fantasy book, nor magical in any sense so this *special* telephone really doesn't make any sense. The book was pretty juvenile, although I did really like Neal's character (a bit too ideal to be real, e.g. he gives up everything to become a stay at home dad so that his wife can go back to work and not feel guilty about having to put the kids in daycare, makes food for Georgie no matter what- even when he's angry at her, loves her unconditionally). In short I would never have picked this book up from reading the blurb as I am really not a fan of chick lit (I'm sticking it in the chick lit category), and only read it becomes it was Book of the Year.
In my honest opinion, you can skip it, as it was pretty pants.
#SorryNotSorry but it was a waste of my time and I feel well peeved at it being Book of the Year as it's beyond unworthy.
Moving on, what was the best book you read in 2014? Do you even read books? Leave your recommendations below.

Proto version 12u: smoother interpolations, other fixes
This version fixes at least one bad bug, and some internal changes were made.
Use of the script has not changed perceptibly. In the zip file with the script, I've added a text document that may help to understand the use of rotation segments. There is a composite animation with 8 panes showing different types of rotations between interpolation segments. That animation can be downloaded here:
The same instruction text is also included in that zip file with the animation, along with the keyframes used to make it.
I hesitate to upload that composite animation to YouTube because I think it just wont work on YT that well.
I hope the animation example will be helpful. But I realize people will not be able to watch all 8 panes at once to really compare the differences. Animations will always work differently with different keyframe sets. The 8 examples in the composite animation all use the same keyframe parameters. So it's intended to show how different kinds of motion can be created with the same set of keyframes. The only differences between the 8 examples are the rotation settings at the top of Apophymator and that is what is explained in the text file with the download.
[Edit 12-Oct-06]
Proto version 12f: small change.
Changed one line to prevent script from running in Apophysis 7X 15d: the script input box is still hosed. *Use the script with 7X version 15b*. Flames constructed in 7X 15c or 15d could present problems even when used with 7X 15b... it might help to save any such flames with 15b before trying to use them with the script.
[Edit 12-July-02]
I've uploaded another proto version that fixes several earlier flaws. The new proto is version 12d.
It's working for me, although I left off work on the script about 2 weeks ago. If errors are encountered please drop me a note, or leave a comment. I still expect to get the script in better shape in the coming days. My time is being consumed by unnecessary distractions though. Wish me luck with those. I wish you luck and enjoyment in your fractal pursuits.
[Edit 12-June-07]
I apologize profusely to the few people who downloaded this earlier. It was the wrong script. That's been corrected. The version of the script is now 12b and I changed the title to only use the number without the letter. I'm still going to have to do some changes so the letter will change a few more times at least. The rest of the info below still applies. I just changed any "12a" to "12b".
[Edit 12-June-04]
So here
is one reason I released the script as a prototype. But I'd like to emphasize that the problem is in the appearance of the dialogs and does not effect the way animation frames are calculated or rendered. So please, if you use the 10x version of Apophymamtor update to this version. I will fix what I show at that link asap. But I'm anxious to move on to getting the documentation ready because this script is a great deal more capable than 11x. Until I get the docs done though, I'm the only one who knows about those new capabilities. :-/
[The previous description follows.]
I'm nearing completion of a new Apophymator version.
I've decided to upload what I have at this point as version 12b.
I tacked "Proto" on to the end of the script name.
But it's fully functional, and it's quite stable in my testing - not really a "prototype" at all.
There's some cosmetic stuff I still have to change, so it's a "proto" in that sense.
Right now I've only put the script in my scraps, but it will get a new feature page once I have the whole bag of materials ready.
I will update the version letter at that time.
I've added a lot of info to the dialogs.
I hope the info will make it easier for people to understand the various settings.
I've also changed the general look of the input dialogs so they have a better appearance in the 7X and JK versions of Apo.
I still need to rearrange the menus for Apo 3D hack... but in 11x they didn't look near as bad as they did in the other Apo versions.
For 3D hack I mainly just have to get the text of the menus centered.
I also still have a lot to update in the Apophymator 11x pdf to bring the document up to date for 12b and beyond.
Some info in the 11x doc does not apply to the 12b version. Mainly though, all of the illustrations need to be replaced with illustrations of the new input dialogs.
I've disabled the script for all 7X-15c versions, which may be a bummer for some people.
But internal changes to 15c have made interpolated flame animation all but impossible.
The script works fine in 7X-15b versions, and there isn't much about 15c that 15b doesn't have.
I can provide some semi-technical reasons why animations won't work (well) with 15c if anyone wants to know.
I don't have a lot more to add at this point.
But I've been anxious to upload what I have because I think it's a significant improvement over 11x.
Otherwise I wouldn't make it available.
Just download the script to wherever you save your scripts.
Run it like you would any other script.
Oh, and... Apophymator starts up rather slowly - it depends a lot on how many plugins are in your plugins folder.
The script checks for missing plugins in the flames you're trying to use with it, and that takes a while.
The actual work section of the script runs rather slowly too. Unfortunately the scripter software is not multi-threaded.
It doesn't help that I don't know any sophisticated code optimization techniques either, and that's also surely a factor in the script's performance.
But I'm confident that Apophymator will reliably accomplish its purpose, which is to produce animation frames.
Naturally I'm interested in feedback and comments if anyone has any.
I will post a more complete package on a feature page once I get the package ready.

I have a workaround if you are wanting to use apophymator in either apo15C or later!
There is a program called "sizer" that allows you to resize windows using hotkeys.
The Good News: Sizer is able to resize the dialogue-box-from-hell scenario.
The Bad News: Even though the window is resized, the button and textbox contents do not move, making them invisible.
At first I thought this was a big deal, then I realised it isn't, here's why:
Let's face it, the values being entering into apophymator are very short. '0', '1', 'abc', 'flame1', '100', etc
Also everything that is entered into apophymator is confirmed on the following screens.
Here's what to do:
1] Goto
and download the latest version of sizer.
Note: Versions below 3.4 do not have 64-bit functionality.
At the point of writing this 3.4 is listed as incomplete, however it appears to be very stable.
2] Unzip sizer & run sizer.exe
3] Sizer runs in the background, however it also has a system tray icon for settings.
With sizer running you can right-click on the top bar of any window to resize it to prespecified dimensions ('Resize/reposition')
You can add your own by clicking 'Resize/reposition -> New Entry'.
4] Give your new entry a name.
Set the width and height to something reasonable (1080 x 1080) or something of the sort.
Change the 'Move To' option to 'Left'
Add a shortkey. For testing purposes do something simple like SHIFT+LEFT.
5] Open apo15D and run apophymator.
<Dialog-Box-From-Hell> appears.
Press SHIFT+LEFT (or whatever hotkey combination you assigned into step 4)
And BING!
So as I said, this is a workaround, as the input box and buttons remain off the screen.
However, this really isn't a big deal.
The textbox is both highlighted and active by default, so you can type straight over the top of it without having to select it.
To proceed: ENTER = OK & ESC = CANCEL.
Hope that helps,
Much Love!

Hi perrelet,
Thanks for letting me know about this application.
I wrote a slightly longer reply at the 10x page explaining that I think it's not a good idea to ask potential current or potential users of my script to go through more than they have to in order to use the script.
At present, all that is required for people to use Apophymator is to download one of the applicable versions of Apophysis ("Apo 2.08 JK", "Apo 2.08 3D hack", or "Apo 7X 15" versions prior to 17c) and then download the Apophymator script. ("Apo" is short for "Apophysis".)
Apophysis development sometimes happens at a very slow pace, and sometimes more rapidly. I have no part in that development process aside from several times in the past when I've offered suggestions or made requests for features.
But I think Apophysis still has potential and that developers of the program will, provided the time and inclination to do so, continue to develop and improve the wonderful program that Apophysis has continued for me for nearly 10 years..
Not only that, Apophysis is an open source program and could easily enough be developed further by any programmer with a knowledge of the language through which Apophysis has been developed or a with a willingness to learn that language.
Since Apophymator IS usable -- though it lacks certain capabilities for handling elements introduced in Apo 7X 15c and later -- and since I don't want to make it a pain for people to use the script with 7X 15c-&d, I would feel more comfortable if people were not encouraged to get the "sizer" program simply because it may be a solution for the unusual dialog box sizing.
If people should chance upon your suggestion and they think the "sizer" program may enhance their own desktop experience then that would be up to them.
I myself am going to pass on that solution for the time being and hope that the good ol' (and younger) Apo developers will be granted the time and inclination to improve the program that I feel they've invested so much care into developing and a program which has provided countless hours of enjoyment to their loyal and faithful users.
It's a fun program and not so difficult to use as it may seem to a beginner.
My script does require some knowledge of terms used in Apophysis, and it CAN be run by a beginner. But the more one knows about Apo, the better one understands what my script does, and hence, I believe, the more satisfactory the resulting animation one will see once the entire animation process is complete.
But that's all true of just about any process, is it not?
Peace be with you,
Blessings upon you,

Is there an easy way to edit the script to change the number of rotations performed between keyframes?
I've had a ghetto look at doing it and I just break it or can't tell the difference (probably changing things I'm not using).
Featured By Owner
Nov 9, 2013
Probably the script could be changed to produce more rotations.
I've been away from the script for a long time so I regret that I can't give you an answer beyond that.
I do think it would be difficult even for me to do though.
There are many different variables that count the frame number, for instance, and all of those would somehow need to be changed.
Right now there is turmoil in my life so I don't have the concentration I need to work on the script.
I'm bummed out about this - especially since your question is just exactly the type of puzzle I like to try to figure out. Unless my living situation changes radically, and soon, I'm afraid I will never again have a chance to update or make major changes to Apophymator.
I have a curiosity however: Do you have the coding ability to work on the Apophysis code itself?
For some long time I've wished that there was an animating version of Apo - so that no script was necessary. Otherwise it would be really good if some of the program code was changed somehow to alleviate some problems that I can't remedy through the script code itself.
I do very much appreciate your interest...
...and perhaps you can ask again in some months to see if my situation has changed to allow me to work on fractals again.

I'm sorry to hear you are having real world troubles. I hope all is well for you soon.
Alas, I do not possess the coding skills to do anything significant like that. I will continue to stab away at the script and see if I can get any further. If any progress is made I will message you.
Thank you so much for Apophymator. It has simplified making fractal animations for me, I'm so happy. You can see a few of them here

Yeah, it's nasty here. I put a couple more photos in my scraps.
I just try to "keep on keepin' on".
Wow... I just watched only the first 30 seconds of Machinesez Beta. Truly... wow!
You managed to achieve a really good 3D arrangement for the flame! :wink:
I will surely make a definite effort to watch the rest. YouTube has once again made it harder - not easier - to comment by changing the way comments are made. I won't try to figure it out for the time being, but you may be able to tell I've watched if the number of "views" increases.
btw, I am happy to know that at least someone has an interest in scripts for Apo these days. (That said, I haven't looked much for new Apo resources lately.)
Julians can be weird. The might make the animation suddenly change. I guess lots of people don't really mind that, but I prefer smooth, and without changes like jumps and pops.
I made "substitute plugins for julian and some others with the idea of eliminating the jumps:
The jumps will usually happen if julian_power variables have different values in the flames you use for keyframes.
If all the keyframes use julian, for example, and all of the julian_power values are the same, then there shouldn't be jumps. So the those alternative plugins would only make a difference when you're using a really mixed bag of flames with the presence/absence of julian transforms, and those having various different julain_power values.
Somewhere around here I think I made some examples, but I lose track of where I've put things.

Thanks for the link to those plugins. Might give 'em a try once I get bored of the built in ones lol.
Glad you like that animation. Don't worry about Youtube comments, it means a lot to me you saying something regardless of where it is.
Hope things improve for you soon.

Hi again
Quick question -- why the 100 flame limit? Is there a way I can work around this? I have 150 flames I'm itching to try and animate
Featured By Owner
Jul 24, 2013
Sorry I haven't been paying much attention here...
The 100 flame limit is for two main reasons.
One reason is because the values for all of the flame properties in every flame have to be kept in arrays for the script to perform its calculations. The scripter itself cannot use "dynamic" arrays so all of the arrays in their full sizes have to be set up in advance. It's one of the reasons that the script is so huge and probably what contributes to the script running somewhat slowly.
The other reason is that most animations I've seen people make through the years with the script only use a handful of keyframe flames so all of those arrays with the 100-member capacity haven't really been of much use. In other words, I've assumed for a long time that the 100 flame limit is already way higher than it really needs to be.
You could split your flame file into a group of files with a smaller number of flames for use with the script. But achieving a seamless blend between the segments would probably require additional tweaks, depending on the type of interpolation you use.

There are a few things I've noticed that I did not take care of. But they are "cosmetic" in effect. And unless the script editor is open they won't be noticed.
It's just some troubleshooting info I print to the bottom. Not a big deal but it's total out of context for the user. Probably.
To tell the truth I mainly just got exasperated due to my distraction and I knew I had a working version of the script better than the earlier 12b version.
Aside from the hoary problem of plugins I feel the script is stable apart from those other errant bits.
I was on the way out for a walk.
Not to be a card, but yesterday I called it my "morning constitutional".
tea hee
Levity aside, I've found walking in the still morning refreshing and I'm glad I rediscovered that connection...

Just to confirm, the zip file contains "Syms-and-Spirals" script and not Apophymator script?
I have given this a go and had a few errors
1. I get a lot of divide by zero errors - this may be down to one or more of my plug-ins.
2. It sometimes hangs as if in an endless loop - again this may be due to one or more of my plug-ins.
3. The showstatus command (line 368) shows"Producing X of 20" irrespective of the Random Batch size.
I will try to isolate if error 1 & 2 are generated by a plug-in and identify if thats the case.

Oh man.... That's the biggest D'OH I've done on the web. You're right... it's the "syms and spirals" script.
Hmmm... I think I probably can't replace the zip file here. I'll try but I think I just have to make a new page.
Thanks tons for telling me. No one else did.
I am so sorry.
On your other questions, yeah I think the errors are due to plugins. I've generated 100s of batches without errors. But I use a very conservative set of plugins.
Meh... not a good excuse but my real life has been seen a bit of turmoil lately.

I would greatly appreciate hearing about anything at all you consider a flaw or error, or just plain wrong.
Favorable comments are a pleasure, of course, but they don't help me much to improve my script or my ability to make it more workable for users.

Because the last version is over a year old and I've made lots of changes. The difference in the dialogs should be very obvious when compared to the 11x dialogs. But that's just the visible changes. I did a mass of changes to the script that don't show over the last year and the script is more reliable, more accurate and has more than several new capabilities.
As for the dialog changes, compare these two, the first is the 11x version and the second is the 12a version:
Unfortunately, as you may see in the second link, the dialogs are still not cooperating. I'll try to get the explanation for that up soon, but on my systems, the 12a dialog looks like the one at the far left. But I don't use a standard font size on my systems. (I usually use 7X when working on the script for various reasons, but I always check all other versions the script is meant to run under.)
Most people do use the standard "normal" system font size so under 7X they will see the dialog as it appears in the second image from the right.
For 3D hack and "official" Apo, the system dpi setting doesn't make any difference. 3D Hack images are the 2nd and 4th. The second uses non-standard font size (108 dpi) and the the forth uses "normal" dpi which is 96, and what most people's system is set to.

Hey there. My name is Sally. I'm a Michigan-born Floridian that spends her days sewing things from recycled materials, with a cat or two on her lap and a dane at her side. I love to sew and discover new places. Follow along with me on my adventures through life...

How do you fix a hole in a back pocket?
Check out iron on patches. You can cut one to the size of the hole and iron it on from the inside. Pretty easy and a quick fix. You can also remove the pocket, patch it, sew it, and then sew it back onto the jeans.Best of luck!
Nice to see mending still being done in this era of 'throw away'. You did a fine job of mending those jeans ....
Exactly. I would much rather repair something I love than try to find something similar and new. Thanks for reading!
Thank you for this post! My son decided to cut up his new jeans and I had no idea how to mend them and they still look cool. You saved the day!!!
So glad to help!! : )Thanks for reading.

Well, I am going to get around to this bike today. It runs just fine, shifts smoothly, stops quickly, etc. It just needs a good cleaning and a seat swap (I have a good one to use). But I've never heard of this brand, is there a way to date this? I know it is at least 1971 because of the BMA-6 sticker but that is all I know. Also, does anybody know anything about the brand? I'll sell it off quick anyway, but I was just curious.
I believe Snyder either died or maybe just quit making bikes in the mid 70's, probably one of, if not their very last models. :|
Thats what I thought. I heard they went bankrupt and closed their doors in 1974, maybe even '73. So being a 1971 at the oldest, I'd say this bike is probabaly hard to find, not sure if it is rare though. I just put it up now for $50 on CL. The vintage seat I bought for it a garage sale looks much better!
Accoridng to tricyclefetish.com, Snyder closed in 1975 and the factory demolished the year after in 1976. Huffy and Emory swept up the remains and bought the old equipment. So it appears Huffy scooped up Monark AND some remains of HP Snyder, too!
I've seen a Mohawk 3 speed before. As I understand it, the Snyder factory was acquired by Mossberg (firearms) in I think 1974. After a couple of years they apparently decided the factory was not for them and sold everything off. Mossberg did continue to make a few bicycles to a much, much higher standard after this happened, but they are very rare. Huffy apparently bought the tube mill, and Emory got the tooling for stamping drop outs, etc.
So I guess my $50 asking price explains the two very excited calls I got this morning while I was gone!
I have a Mossberg 10 speed that I have had since new, it pretty beat now but it looks just like your bike except for the color and decals. I must have got it around 1975 or 76 I think.
Well sold it now. It was nice to have some info for the buyer. I also said good-bye to my '73 Huffy Scout, too - and for dirt cheap! Down to only three more bikes to sell. The Hercules, Hollywood (potential buyer coming tomorrow), and a Kent to part out as well.
