Actor Sushant Singh Rajput says he and girlfriend Ankita Lokhande are not married yet and that the whole world would know when they decide to take their relationship to the next level.
"I've been hearing those rumours for three years now. Why would we hide our marriage when we're so open about our relationship? When we get married we'd let the whole world know, because we've nothing to hide in our relationship," laughs Sushant.
And there would be three wedding receptions -- in Patna, Indore and Mumbai -- when the wedding happens.
The couple, who met on the sets of TV show "Pavitra Rishta", has been dating for the past four years.
At the moment, the actor says, Ankita is extremely excited about his Bollywood debut with new film "Kai Po Che!", which releases Friday.
"She is much more excited about 'Kai Po Che!' than I could ever be. According to Ankita, I am already a star. This is one time when I am not arguing with her," chuckles the far-from-nervous movie debutant.
While Sushant is hosting a special screening of the film for his family and friends in Patna, he plans something similar in Ankita's hometown Indore too.
"If there is a screening of my film in Patna there has to be one in Indore as well. Indore is my girlfriend Ankita's home-town. To me there is no difference between her hometown and mine. If I have a screening in Patna I must have one in Indore as well. Her family and friends are mine," he said.

THE DRAMATIC 1988 NLCS GAME 4, THE PENNANT-CLINCHING GAME 7, AND ALL FIVE WORLD SERIES GAMES AGAINST THE OAKLAND ATHLETICS.The last month of the 1988 Major League Baseball season was dominated by Orel Hershiser s record-setting scoreless-innings streak. But while Hershiser closed the season with 59 consecutive scoreless innings, the Los Angeles Dodgers entered the postseason as distinct underdogs. First they needed to overcome the mighty New York Mets: the winners of 100 games featured deep pitching, balanced power, and a battle-tested roster. Then awaiting in the Fall Classic would be the powerful Oakland Athletics. Led by the Bash Brothers, Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire, this stacked squad won 104 games and then swept the Boston Red Sox in the American League Championship Series.As the seven games in this remarkable DVD collection prove, that s why they play the games. The Dodgers had the ever-optimistic motivation of manager Tommy Lasorda. The Dodgers had the ferocity and bulldog determination of Hershiser. The Dodgers had the singular cast of players who far exceeded the sum of the parts and became an unstoppable team. The Dodgers had the 1988 National League MVP, the inspirational lion-hearted leadership of Kirk Gibson, who with one dramatic swing crushed the spirit of the Athletics and carved out a special place in the World Series pantheon.DVD FEATURES INCLUDE: 1988 World Series Trophy and MVP Award Presentations; 1988 Ring Ceremony; Inside the Moments: Gibson''s Home Run; Orel Hershiser: The Scoreless Streak; Locker Room Interviews Following the Gibson Home Run; Award Ceremonies: Kirk Gibson 1988 NL MVP, Orel Hershiser 1988 NL Cy Young; Rare Interviews: Tommy Lasorda, Kirk Gibson, Dennis Eckersley, Tony LaRussa, Sparky Anderson; Special Game Footage: Hershiser''s 20th Win, Orel Breaks the MLB Scoreless Innings Record, Dodgers Clinch NL West, Dodgers Big 2nd Inning of NLCS Game 2, Jack Buck''s Historic Call of Gibson''s World Series HR, Last Out of the 1988 World Series

The Department of Veterans Affairs furloughed 2,754 IT employees Oct. 7 after carryover balances that retained the employees through the first days of the partial government shutdown were exhausted.
That is fewer than the 3,200 IT employees VA predicted it would furlough in its shutdown contingency plan, but still a sizeable percentage of an IT staff comprising about 8,000 individuals.
IT workers also make of a disproportionate share of VA furloughs. Overall, VA planned to furlough about 14,000 employees -- about 4 percent of its total workforce.
On Oct. 8, VA announced it furloughed about 7,000 Veterans Benefits Administration employees, leaving all regional VBA offices closed. VA hospitals and counseling programs are still open, and VA will continue to process claims and accept new ones. However, VA spokeswoman Victoria Dillon said the announced furloughs could slow claim-processing times.
Dillon said the claims processing and payments in pension, compensation, education and vocational rehabilitation programs will continue through October. But she stressed that if the government shutdown stretches into November, processing and payments would be suspended.

Tired of your usual pasta go-tos? Then mix things up with the likes of strawberries or caviar instead. We promise you'll be surprised: weird as they sound, these ingredients actually translate to dishes bursting with flavor. Rather than judge a
book dish by its cover, open your mind (and stomach) and give these six pasta dishes a chance. In turn, you may just come across a new favorite.
Yogurt Fettuccine Alfredo
This fettuccine Alfredo [1] ditches the heavy cream for healthy plain yogurt. It's easy on the waistline but doesn't sacrifice flavor.
Linguine With Sea Urchin and Caviar
Embrace the flavors of the ocean with sea urchin and caviar pasta [2]. With caviar's salty punch and uni's velvety texture, this linguine's a decadent dish guaranteed to be a hit at your next dinner party.
Sun-Dried Tomato and Bacon Pasta
Bacon isn't just for breakfast; it's for pasta, too. Our sundried tomato and bacon pasta [3] is both salty and sweet, and impresses at first bite.
Spaghetti With Strawberries
Take strawberries from dessert to entrée with this spaghetti recipe [4]. Although it's an unusual pairing, aged balsamic vinegar helps to round out the sweet, tart flavors for an unforgettable (and complex) dish.
Garlic Pasta With Fish Sauce
A minimalist garlic pasta [5] is sure to become an everyday favorite. Don't let the Red Boat Fish Sauce [6] scare you: our 10-minute recipe is garlicky, a little spicy, and chock-full of umami.
In this seasonal pasta [7], fava beans add slightly nutty and buttery flavor that pairs well with the saltiness of the pancetta.

(Please don`t judge my english grammer etc. i`m from holland)
The things that you need for this project are not expansive or hard to find so it should be easy to build.
You don`t need expansive tools or anything to build this, just use your imagination and some handy hands :D
Step 1: Materials
- Arduino Uno (or other)
- example code (included)
- 7 wires
- breadboard
- camera tripod (i used a small one)
- aluminum plate (1mm thick)
- 4 miniture nuts and screws
- 8 (3x10mm) allen screws and 8 nuts
- 1 servo horn at least with 4 holes
- 1 big nut for the tripod (i got this from an old camera)
- miniature jigsaw
- ruler
- pencil
- the design of your brackets (included)
- sandpaper
- drill
- screwdriver
- vice (for bending)
Step 3: Jigsaw
try to make the saw lines as smooth as possible so when it's done it looks really nice.
Mension that in the second picture there are no holes for the screws to mount the servo, i've done this because the dimensions of every servo are slighly different !
So you must figuer that part out by yourself !
hi, i try your circuit but it does move my servo, did you use power from laptop only? it is enough to move two servo? or you you other kit?
this is my kit:
Arduino Uno
2 Servos HX5010
Jumper wire
but nothing happen after I upload to Uno.

Hoi Dutch guy.
Do u have a instruction for me to connect my servo controller to my PI B..??
or a link to a site where i can find it?
yes you can control it with two potmeters, i do not have the code for that, sorry.
I got the minitool from my father when i was 12 so i ectually dont even know where he bought it.
gr mark
Very nice instructable! I am working on a project and I have been designing and looking for a system just like this. One of the big issues I run into is mounting something onto the top servo. I am looking connect an adjustable mirror to the top servo but there's hardly anything that can go up there that doesn't create too much torque on the servo. Have you tried mounting anything to that top servo? And when you connect something heavier, does it burden the servo?
Thanks, and nice job!
gr Mark :)

In an interview last week, the Democrat-turned-Republican - who served as Louisiana governor from 1988 to 1992 - gave the strongest indication yet that he would like to jump back into politics. Though most analysts have said his chances of victory would be slim, the effect of his candidacy could be enormous.

Hunt for conmen
Posted: November 15, 2012|
Cold-hearted conmen have forced an 88-year-old woman to pay £1,700 for simple repairs to guttering at her home.
Police who have released a CCTV image of two of the men they are hunting have condemned their actions.
Three men went to the pensioner's home in South Stoke on the morning of Thursday, October 18, and persuaded her that she needed the repairs doing.
She was intimidated into agreeing to pay £1,700 for the work and withdrew the money from the Lloyds branch, in Moorland Road, before handing it over.
The CCTV image is of the men waiting outside the bank.
Anyone who recognises them, or the men themselves, should contact Bath police on 101.

'Sex and the City' stars unite for cancer benefit
The stars of "Sex and the City 2" will be in Brooklyn this weekend -- not to promote the movie, but to help one of their colleagues fight a battle against cancer.
As Sarah Jessica Parker explains in the video above, they're coming together to help out "Minty Python" -- the nickname for the 9-month-old daughter of Mei Lai Hippisley-Coxe, a wardrobe supervisor on the HBO series and Parker's costumer on the first "SATC" film and "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" Minty was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer shortly after being born and has been undergoing aggressive treatment ever since.

Angel Solutions is an innovative, hard-working company that creates web applications for schools, local authorities and businesses. For nearly a decade Rackspace has been supporting the company as it develops pioneering software and internet solutions for education.
Circus of Dreams
There probably aren't too many workplaces that are decked out like a circus, but after experiencing the office at Angel Solutions it's hard to work out why more don't have crazy mirrors and a big-top theme. It may sound an odd choice for a software company, but the reasoning behind it is inspired, as IT manager Phil D'Ambrogio explains: "The idea is of a bunch of experts working in balance and being able to put on something spectacular." The company's flagship product, Perspective - which allows schools to improve processes and impact the quality of the education they deliver - is an example of something spectacular created by a few talented people. "It succeeds where big corporations struggle," says Phil, "because by having a small, tight-knit team working together on a project, far more is achieved."
Rackspace is a perfect fit for Angel Solutions. "Even though Rackspace is a massive multinational company, I still find it's flexible at a local level," says Phil. "In a previous job I used to deal with one of the other major hosting companies, and I found it was fairly difficult to be able to deal with the same person each time. I think that's why it's quite different dealing with Rackspace - we've been able to get a single point of contact assigned within the Rackspace team each time. It makes it a lot easier and takes away a lot of the headaches."
Security Conscious
Angel Solutions has an Intensive contract with Rackspace, its highest-level of service offering, which ensures they get a dedicated account team consisting of a service delivery manager, lead engineer and business development consultant. The services they use include a firewall, a single load balancer, a two node virtual cluster hosting eight Windows and one Linux server, and a two node Microsoft database failover cluster, as well as Rackspace email and anti-virus products. An important part of the package from Rackspace is the security, as Phil explains: "We host a large amount of data for our product Nexus, and that is all pupil-level so it needs to be highly-secure. Knowing that the data centre is protected by our fully-accredited partner is an absolutely essential selling point for us."
Fanatical Support
Angel Solutions' contract was renewed in early 2014 and, as part of the renewal, a couple of the database servers needed to be replaced. The account team came up with various options in terms of machine specification and time frames based on Angel Solutions' requirements. "It was important that any existing hardware wasn't going to go end of life mid-contract and also that the new hardware they were moving to would have equal or greater performance to the hardware that they were previously on," explains the Lead Engineer. "We worked hard with our product team to give Angel Solutions peace of mind and instil confidence in our recommendations. That is the idea of Rackspace after all: Fanatical Support®."
The work put in by the account team is clearly appreciated by Phil: "I would always recommend Rackspace. Without a doubt!"

Kidnap victim talks about missing her slain brother and mother, communicating with DiMaggio and cruel criticism posted online
The discovery set off a massive, weeklong search for DiMaggio and the teen that ended on Aug. 10 in Idaho's Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness when federal officers spotted their campsite.
FBI hostage rescue agents fatally shot DiMaggio, who was hit at least five times, and rescued Hannah, authorities said. They said DiMaggio fired at least one shot.
Sheriff's homicide Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said Wednesday in an email that he doesn't expect the department will release additional details about the investigation.
"We all need to remember that there is a minor victim in this case and the more information that is released the more harm it may cause her," Giannantonio said.
Hannah told NBC News that returning to school — she is a junior at El Capitan High in Lakeside — will be daunting "with everyone and their opinions," but that her friends will "have her back."
She also said she plans to try out for the varsity gymnastics team. Someday, she said, she would like to be a firefighter.
"This was a hard time and there's going to be harder times ahead in life, but if I could get through this I'm sure I can get through a lot more," Hannah said.
Services for her mother and brother will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Guardian Angels Catholic Church in Santee. The Anderson family received about $8,600 from a fundraiser held last week for them at the Lakeside Boll Weevil, a restaurant manager said Thursday.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr. give Jonny Lee Miller big 'Sherlock' shoes to fillAdd to Favorites | Sherlock
Benedict Cumberbatch: In the BBC series "Sherlock," which comes to U.S. viewers via "Masterpiece Mystery!" on PBS, Cumberbatch plays a thoroughly modern incarnation of Sherlock Holmes, who makes liberal use of texting, the Internet and GPS devices to solve crimes. It certainly doesn't hurt that the actor is exceedingly easy on the eyes.
Robert Downey Jr.: Although they're set in the Victorian England of the original stories, Downey's two (so far) feature-film turns as Holmes bring a certain 21st-century sensibility to the tales, making them accessible to an audience raised on big-screen blockbusters.
Jeremy Brett: Many consider Brett's portrayal of Holmes in four seasons of a British series -- also seen here on PBS - the definitive screen Sherlock of its time, if not all time. He played the role in a total of 41 episodes from 1984 to 1994 and might have continued had he not died at the relatively young age of 61.
Nicol Williamson: His single performance as Holmes wasn't in an Arthur Conan Doyle tale. Instead, he played the detective in the 1976 mystery "The Seven-Per-Cent Solution," which was adapted from a novel by Nicholas Meyer and dealt with the character's cocaine addiction and treatment by Sigmund Freud ( Alan Arkin). While in Austria, however, he can't help getting involved in solving a crime.
Peter Cushing: As a regular in Hammer Films' horror tales, he played everyone from Dr. Frankenstein to Van Helsing, but Cushing seemed born to the role of Holmes. He made his debut as the sleuth in a 1959 adaptation of "The Hound of the Baskervilles," the first Holmes film made in color. He went on to star in the BBC series "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes" in the '60s and portrayed a geriatric Sherlock in the 1984 TV movie "The Masks of Death."
Basil Rathbone: The Jeremy Brett of the 1940s, the dapper Rathbone brought Holmes to life in 14 films - all but the first two set in the then-present day -- between 1939 and 1946. Rathbone also played Holmes in a radio series over the same period and reprised the role for an episode of the TV series "Suspense" in 1953.

THE Namibian solar water heating industry is engaged in a battle of solar technologies, as a relatively new technology in the local market, the evacuated-tube technology, makes inroads into a market which has been dominated by flat-plate solar collectors for the past 20 years.
Swakopmund-based Solar Systems Namibia, a specialist in evacuated tube collectors, last month submitted an official complaint to NamPower after it lost a tender to supply 38 solar geysers to a Desert Research Foundation of Namibia (DRFN) energy project at Tsumkwe. The tender was put out by NamPower, under advisement of Emcom Consulting Engineers in Windhoek.
According to Solar Systems Namibia owner Chris King, the evacuated tube technology was not considered for the tender because it is "too efficient".
King claims that while his tender was about N$250 000 less than the successful tender, he was shown the door and not offered a satisfactory explanation for this rejection by NamPower.
The tender specifications issued by NamPower specified flat-plate collectors, automatically excluding alternative solar heater technologies.
King says this was not the first time that solar water heating tenders invited by Government or major institutions specified flat-plate solar collectors, essentially keeping alternative solar heating technologies from entering the local market.
"To tender for such a job is virtually impossible for a small business, because to adhere to these specifications would mean spending a huge amount of time on preparing for the tender."
According to Glenn Howard, the consulting engineer from Emcon, there are a number of reasons why evacuated tube technology is not ideal for the project, and for Namibia's inland conditions in general.
He says the evacuated tube technology faces strenuous heat conditions in Namibia, which could result in a number of problems.
Evacuated tube collectors do work and very effective under certain conditions, he says, but they are so efficient that the water could potentially boil in summer, which is potentially dangerous.
He says because the evacuated tubes do not lose a lot of heat, they are very effective in colder and less sunny climates.
In Namibia, with its hot and sunny conditions, an evacuated tube solar heater could overheat and eventually explode, according to Howard.
He says evacuated tubes are selling well internationally, but the flat plate "is not dead and there are good reasons for that".
Howard admits that as the consulting engineers to the project, they prefer to recommend a product that they know works.
"On a year-round performance basis the evacuated tube does not match the flat plate in our inland conditions," he adds.
Howard says the consulting engineers also put emphasis on SABS certification or any other accepted industry certification from Europe or North America, which gives engineers a chance to look at reports issued by the certifiers.
According to King, his system does have SRCC certification from North America and German certification.
He also says that temperature pressure valves, which come standard with each tank, prevent water from reaching boiling point and there is therefore no danger of exploding tanks.
Another benefit with the evacuated tube technology, according to King, is that the entire system can be modified easily, as conditions demand.
"You can take out or add tubes with your hands, to size it for your specific hot water needs."
Robert Schultz, the Energy Desk Coordinator of the Desert Research Foundation of Namibia (DRFN), who initiated the Tsumkwe energy project, admits that he understands King's frustration.
He says it is important to allow new technologies to prove themselves, adding that the evacuated tube technology is applied successfully all over the world.
"I would personally have no reservation in procuring evacuated tubes," he says.
Conrad Roedern, managing director of Solar Age Namibia, has over 21 years' experience in the local solar industry.
He says it is important to give the evacuated tube technology time to prove itself in smaller applications, such as for domestic use.
"We welcome pioneers and new technologies," he says.
But for large projects, it is still wiser to use the flat-plate technology, which has proven to have a long life cycle and works effectively in urban and rural areas.
"We should not make Government institutions the guinea pig for testing this technology."
Rather, he says the technology should be given a chance to show its merit under controlled circumstances in cities or towns.
"If you are a private person who buys a system for one third of the price, and you are close to town - even if it breaks after three years - you still make a slight profit."
Roedern agrees that the evacuated tube water heater system is ideal for private households and businesses since it is cheap and can be repaired easily, but adds that the flat-plate technology is still preferred in Namibia for a number of reasons.

MOTHER's Day Countdown: Ladybugs
By Jackie Burrell
Monday, May 4th, 2009 at 7:04 am in Crafts.
We're not sure what makes ladybugs so lovable, but we can't resist them. And we've seen two particularly adorable takes on ladybug crafts, either of which would make a great kiddie DIY gift for Mother's Day.
First up, this ladybug paperweight from BHG.com's list of Mother's Day Crafts Kids Can Make.
You'll need 2 small rocks; strong glue or a hot glue gun (if adults will be supervising this activity); red, black and white acrylic paint; glitter glue; a black pipe cleaner; and a small round of red or black felt, about the size of the larger rock.
1. Arrange the rocks to form the ladybug's body and head, and glue them together.
2. Paint the ladybug's body red, its head black and the eyes white. Add a painted white smile.
3. When the paint has dried, add a black line and polka dots to the body and black dots for the eyes. Add a little more pizazz by using the glitter glue to draw thin circles around the black polka dots on the body. Let dry.
4. Twist the pipe cleaner around the ladybug's "neck" and up to form antennae. Trim the felt and glue it to the bottom of the rock to add a little cushioning.
MORE LADYBUGS? The cutest ladybug-inspired craft we've ever seen was a flower pot that had been painted a bright scarlet. Black polka dots (which can be made by dipping toddler fingertips in black paint and dotting them on the pot) were added, and the top band of the terracotta pot was painted in crisp black and white vertical stripes. Once the whole thing has dried, the child can plant a bright red geranium in the pot and present the gift.

Allium sativum L., commonly known as garlic, is a species in the onion family Alliaceae. Its close relatives include the onion, the shallot, the leek and the chive. Garlic has been used throughout recorded history for both culinary and medicinal purposes. It has a characteristic pungent, spicy flavor that mellows and sweetens considerably with cooking.. A bulb of garlic, the most commonly used part of the plant, is divided into numerous fleshy sections called cloves. The cloves are used as seed, for consumption (raw or cooked), and for medicinal purposes. The leaves, stems (scape) and flowers (bulbils) on the head (spathe) are also edible and most often consumed while immature and still tender. The papery, protective layers of 'skin' over various parts of the plant and the roots attached to the bulb are the only parts not considered palatable.
The ancestry of cultivated garlic, according to Zohary and Hopf, is not definitely established: "a difficulty in the identification of its wild progenitor is the sterility of the cultivars.
Allium sativum grows in the wild in areas where it has become naturalised; it probably descended from the species Allium longicuspis, which grows wild in south-western Asia. The 'wild garlic', 'crow garlic' and 'field garlic' of Britain are the species Allium ursinum, Allium vineale and Aleum oleraceum, respectively. In North America, 'Allium vineale, known as 'wild-' or 'crow garlic', and Allium canadense, known as 'meadow-' or 'wild garlic' and 'wild onion', are common weeds in fields. One of the best known "garlics," the so-called elephant garlic, is actually a wild leek (Allium ampeloprasum).
After eating a large quantity of garlic, a person will usually have halitosis. Their sweat and excreted oils will also smell like garlic. If an extremely large amount of garlic has been consumed, the person's mucus, vaginal discharge, dandruff, and even earwax will also smell like garlic. Washing the body with soap will not take away the scent, although perfumes will mask the scent. The smell usually fades over the course of several days.
Garlic is easy to grow and can be grown year-round in mild climates. In cold climates, cloves can be planted in the ground about six weeks before the soil freezes, and harvested in late spring. Garlic plants are not attacked by pests. They can suffer from pink root, a disease that stunts the roots and turns them pink or red. Garlic plants can be grown close together, leaving enough room for the bulbs to mature, and are easily grown in containers of sufficient depth.

Garlic is widely used around the world for its pungent flavor, as a seasoning or condiment. It is a fundamental component in many or most dishes of various regions including Eastern Asia, South Asia, South-East Asia, the Middle-East, Northern Africa, Southern Europe, and parts of South and Central America. The flavour varies in intensity and aroma with cooking methods. It is often paired with onion, tomato, or ginger. The parchment-like skin is much like the skin of an onion, and is typically removed before using in raw or cooked form. An alternative is to cut the top off the bulb, coat cloves of garlic by dribbling olive oil (or other oil based seasoning) over them and roast them in the oven. The garlic softens and can be extracted from the cloves by squeezing the (root) end of the bulb or individually by squeezing one end of the clove.
Oils are often flavored with garlic cloves. Commercially prepared oils are widely available, but when preparing garlic-infused oil at home, there is a risk of botulism if the product is not stored properly. To reduce this risk, the oil should be refrigerated and used within one week. Manufacturers add acids and/or other chemicals to eliminate the risk of botulism in their products.
In some cuisine, the young bulbs are pickled for 3–6 weeks in a mixture of sugar, salt and spices. In Eastern Europe the shoots are pickled and eaten as an appetizer.
Immature scapes are tender and edible. They are also known as 'garlic spears', 'stems', or 'tops'. Scapes generally have a milder taste than cloves. They are often used in stir frying or prepared like asparagus. Garlic leaves are a popular vegetable in many parts of Asia. The leaves are cut, cleaned and then stir-fried with eggs, meat, or vegetables.
Mixing garlic with eggs and olive oil produces aioli. Garlic, oil, and a chunky base produce skordalia. Blending garlic, almond, oil and soaked bread produces ajoblanco.
About 1/4 teaspoon of dried powdered garlic is equivalent to one fresh clove.
Commercially, garlic is stored at 0 °C, also dry.
It was consumed by the ancient Greek and Roman soldiers, sailors and rural classes (Virgil, Ecologues ii. 11), and, according to Pliny the Elder (Natural History xix. 32), by the African peasantry. Galen eulogizes it as the "rustic's theriac" (cure-all) (see F Adams's Paulus Aegineta, p. 99), and Alexander Neckam, a writer of the 12th century (see Wright's edition of his works, p. 473, 1863), recommends it as a palliative of the heat of the sun in field labor.
In the account of Korea's establishment as a nation, gods were said to have given mortal women with bear and tiger temperaments immortal's black garlic before mating with them. This is a genetically unique six clove garlic that was to have given the women supernatural powers and immortality. This garlic is still cultivated in a few mountain areas today.
In his Natural History Pliny gives an exceedingly long list of scenarios in which it was considered beneficial (N.H. xx. 23). Dr. T. Sydenham valued it as an application in confluent smallpox, and, says Cullen (Mat. Med. ii. p. 174, 1789), found some dropsies cured by it alone. Early in the 20th century, it was sometimes used in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis or phthisis.
Garlic was rare in traditional English cuisine (though it is said to have been grown in England before 1548), and has been a much more common ingredient in Mediterranean Europe. Garlic was placed by the ancient Greeks on the piles of stones at cross-roads, as a supper for Hecate (Theophrastus, Characters, The Superstitious Man); and according to Pliny, garlic and onions were invoked as deities by the Egyptians at the taking of oaths. (Pliny also states that garlic de-magnetizes loadstones, which is not factual.) The inhabitants of Pelusium in lower Egypt, who worshipped the onion, are said to have had an aversion to both onions and garlic as food.
To prevent the plant from running to leaf, Pliny (N.H. xix. 34) advised bending the stalk downward and covering with earth; seeding, he observes, may be prevented by twisting the stalk (by "seeding", he most likely means the development of small, less potent bulbs).
Garlic has been used as both food and medicine in many cultures for thousands of years, dating at least as far back as the time that the Egyptian pyramids were built. Garlic is claimed to help prevent heart disease including atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and cancer.
Animal studies, and some early investigational studies in humans, have suggested possible cardiovascular benefits of garlic. A Czech study found garlic supplementation reduced accumulation of cholesterol on vascular walls of animals. Another study had similar results, with garlic supplementation significantly reducing aortic plaque deposits of cholesterol-fed rabbits. Another study showed that supplementation with garlic extract inhibited vascular calcification in human patients with high blood cholesterol. The known vasodilative effect of garlic is possibly caused by catabolism of garlic-derived polysulfides to hydrogen sulfide in red blood cells, a reaction that is dependent on reduced thiols in or on the RBC membrane. Hydrogen sulfide is an endogenous cardioprotective vascular cell signaling molecule.
However, a randomized clinical trial funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States of America and published in Archives of Internal Medicine in 2007 found that the consumption of garlic in any form did not reduce blood cholesterol levels in patients with moderately high baseline cholesterol levels.
With regard to this clinical trial, theheart.org reports:
Despite decades of research suggesting that garlic can improve cholesterol profiles, a new NIH-funded trial found absolutely no effects of raw garlic or garlic supplements on LDL, HDL, or triglycerides... The findings underscore the hazards of meta-analyses made up of small, flawed studies and the value of rigorously studying popular herbal remedies.
In 2007 a BBC news story reported that Allium sativum may have beneficial properties, such as preventing and fighting the common cold. This assertion has the backing of long tradition in herbal medicine, which has used garlic for hoarseness and coughs. The Cherokee also used it as an expectorant for coughs and croup.
Allium sativum has been found to reduce platelet aggregation and hyperlipidemia.
Garlic is also alleged to help regulate blood sugar levels. Regular and prolonged use of therapeutic amounts of aged garlic extracts lower blood homocysteine levels, and has shown to prevent some complications of diabetes mellitus. People taking insulin should not consume medicinal amounts of garlic without consulting a physician.
In 1858, Louis Pasteur observed garlic's antibacterial activity, and it was used as an antiseptic to prevent gangrene during World War I and World War II. More recently it has been found from a clinical trial that a mouthwash containing 2.5% fresh garlic shows good antimicrobial activity, although the majority of the participants reported an unpleasant taste and halitosis.
In modern naturopathy, garlic is used as a treatment for intestinal worms and other intestinal parasites, both orally and as an anal suppository. Garlic cloves are used as a remedy for infections (especially chest problems), digestive disorders, and fungal infections such as thrush.
Garlic has been reasonably successfully used in AIDS patients to treat cryptosporidium in an uncontrolled study in China. It has also been used by at least one AIDS patient to treat toxoplasmosis, another protozoal disease.
Garlic supplementation in rats along with a high protein diet has been shown to boost testosterone levels.
The percentage composition of the bulbs is given by E. Solly (Trans. Hon. Soc. Loud., new ser., iii. p. 60) as water 84.09%, organic matter 13.38%, and inorganic matter 1.53% - that of the leaves being water 87.14%, organic matter 11.27% and inorganic matter 1.59%.
The phytochemicals responsible for the sharp flavor of garlic are produced when the plant's cells are damaged. When a cell is broken by chopping, chewing, or crushing, enzymes stored in cell vacuoles trigger the breakdown of several sulfur-containing compounds stored in the cell fluids. The resultant compounds are responsible for the sharp or hot taste and strong smell of garlic. Some of the compounds are unstable and continue to evolve over time. Among the members of the onion family, garlic has by far the highest concentrations of initial reaction products, making garlic much more potent than onions, shallots, or leeks. Although people have come to enjoy the taste of garlic, these compounds are believed to have evolved as a defensive mechanism, deterring animals like birds, insects, and worms from eating the plant.
A large number of sulfur compounds contribute to the smell and taste of garlic. Diallyl disulfide is believed to be an important odour component. Allicin has been found to be the compound most responsible for the "hot" sensation of raw garlic. This chemical opens thermoTRP (transient receptor potential) channels that are responsible for the burning sense of heat in foods. The process of cooking garlic removes allicin, thus mellowing its spiciness.
When eaten in quantity, garlic may be strongly evident in the diner's sweat and breath the following day. This is because garlic's strong smelling sulfur compounds are metabolized forming allyl methyl sulfide. Allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) cannot be digested and is passed into the blood. It is carried to the lungs and the skin where it is excreted. Since digestion takes several hours, and release of AMS several hours more, the effect of eating garlic may be present for a long time.
This well-known phenomenon of "garlic breath" is alleged to be alleviated by eating fresh parsley. The herb is, therefore, included in many garlic recipes, such as Pistou, Persillade and the garlic butter spread used in garlic bread. However, since the odour results mainly from digestive processes placing compounds such as AMS in the blood, and AMS is then released through the lungs over the course of many hours, eating parsley provides only a temporary masking. One way of accelerating the release of AMS from the body is the use of a sauna. Due to its strong odor, garlic is sometimes called the "stinking rose".
Because of the AMS in the bloodstream, it is believed by some to act as a mosquito repellent. However there is no evidence to suggest that garlic is actually effective for this purpose.
Garlic has been regarded as a force for both good and evil. A Christian myth considers that after Satan left the Garden of Eden, garlic arose in his left footprint, and onion in the right. In Europe, many cultures have used garlic for protection or white magic, perhaps owing to its reputation as a potent preventative medicine. Central European folk beliefs considered garlic a powerful ward against demons, werewolves, and vampires. To ward off vampires, garlic could be worn, hung in windows or rubbed on chimneys and keyholes.
In Taoism mythology, six clove black garlic is used as part of the process of modifying a Taoist's genetics. It supposedly endows the user immortality by intensifying their vital energy or "chi."
The association of garlic to evil spirits may be based on the antibacterial, antiparasitic value of garlic, which could prevent infections that lead to delusions, and other related mental illness symptoms.
Garlic is called "lassan" in Hindi and related Sanskrit-based languages such as Gujarati. In both Hinduism and Jainism, garlic is considered to stimulate and warm the body and to increase one's desires. Hindus generally avoid using garlic and the related onion in the preparation of foods for religious festivities and events. Followers of the Jain religion avoid eating garlic and onion on a daily basis.

Can someone explain why the sunrise & sunset are not even @ the solstice ? Also, I noticed that the sunset remains the same time ( 4:12 in my area) until 12/15 while the sunrise continues to get later. I must have fallen asleep when the teacher explained this one
On the subject of "not even at solstice" depends on latitude, that's why the Almanac has a time correction table for sun rise/set. Same reason that on the equinoxes, only the equator gets an equal dose of day/night.
As for the times that seem to "stand still" for a couple of days, I'm not quite sure, but the Earth's path is elliptical so it depends on whether we're on a quick slide or a long smooth portion. The Earth is also on its slip southward from the Tropic of Capricorn in winter to the Tropic of Cancer in summer.
Guess that's why our ancestors made those elaborate moving models of the solar system to get a grip on the various mechanicals involved ... I'm dizzy already! ;-D
Good question, thanks for the topic!

If people didn't know any better, they may think that Denise Richards has a thing for bad boys. Well if these news reports turn out to be true, then it is pretty safe to assume that she does. Just recently it was reported that she may be dating Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx.
Of course, Richards has been known to have her bad relationships in the past. In fact, the first one that comes to mind for most people was her very rocky marriage to Charlie Sheen. However, not too far behind that would be her troubled relationship with Richie Sambora. Now add the bassist to Motley Crue on top of that, and Denise has herself a pretty bad list of ex-boyfriends.
According to reports, Denise and Sixx have been neighbors for years. Apparently the two have a lot in common and are taking things pretty slowly. However, no one really knows how deep their relationship is as of yet.
Richards, who is a mom to Charlie Sheen's daughters Sam and Lola, could be getting in over her head with a relationship with Sixx. After all, this bad boy is a former heroin addict and has been married to two Playboy models and romanced Kat Von D from 2008 to January 2010.
However, these things do not seem to be enough to keep Denise at bay. In fact, the two were just recently seen having breakfast together at Marmalade Cafe in Calabasas, California on December 12.
One witness who could overhear their conversation said that Nikki was telling stories and Denise was just laughing it up. They seem to be having a pretty good time together. Just the night before that breakfast (which just so happened to be Mr. Sixx's birthday) he tweeted that he had a midnight meeting planned with a beautiful maiden. This has some people thinking that he had a little midnight meeting with Miss Richards. Well happy birthday to him!

ELECTRICITY and magnetism are two sides of the same coin. There is supposed to be a deep symmetry between them. So why, when we see lone electrical charges such as electrons or protons, do we never see a lone magnetic pole – a monopole?
They are almost certainly out there: monopoles plays a pivotal role in the widely accepted "grand unified theories", for example. GUTs suggest that the four forces of nature arose from one superforce that existed until moments after the big bang.
The trouble is, our universe is thought to contain no more than one of these "GUT monopoles" for every 1029 protons and neutrons in atomic nuclei: if there were any more than that, our most sensitive searches would have found one.
And it's not like we can make them for ourselves. GUT monopoles are thought to be so massive that we don't have powerful enough particle accelerators to create any. Not that this seems to bother physicists too much. Joe Polchinski, a theorist at the Kavli Institute for theoretical physics in Santa Barbara, California, has said that the existence of monopoles "seems like one of the safest bets that one can make about physics not yet seen".
In the 1930s, Paul Dirac gave us an even better reason to believe in monopoles, when he showed that their existence would in turn explain the existence of electrons. "Dirac monopoles could be of any mass," says Kimball Milton at the University of Oklahoma in Norman. So these monopoles could well turn up in our particle accelerators or in the decay products of cosmic ray collisions in the upper atmosphere.
Several searches have been carried out, but with no success. Does that mean we should give up? "We still might find relic monopoles in cosmic rays, so there is always hope," says Milton.
He shares Polchinski's confidence in monopoles. The fact that their existence is consistent with all known physics means they are almost certainly out there, he reckons. Milton believes in the principle espoused by the famous physicist Murray Gell-Mann: anything that is not forbidden is compulsory. "Magnetic monopoles are consistent with quantum mechanics; therefore they should exist," says Milton.

Rainn Wilson of 'The Office' lands book deal
While NBC will no longer create new episodes of "The Office," that surely won't stop fans from getting their fix of the loveable Dwight Schrute.
The New York Times reported that former Office star Rainn Wilson has struck a publishing deal to write a book about his life.
Wilson later confirmed the news on Twitter.
The publisher describes the book as, "Wilson's journey from nerd to drama geek, his period of 'mild debauchery' as a young actor in New York, and his years on 'The Office.'"
But make sure you don't call it a "memoir," because despite what his publisher says, the 47-year-old comedian refuses to label it as such.
"If I were in my 80s, had cured a disease and survived a war, I would be entitled to write a memoir," Wilson said in a statement.
"No. The guy who is best known for playing a paper salesman with a bad haircut, tweeting fart jokes and starting a quirky spirituality Web site does not merit a �memoir.'"
The "non-memoir" is slated to land on bookshelves in 2014.
This is true:: RT @nytmedia: Rainn Wilson of �The Office' Will Write Book http://t.co/bcnDSn62Mc— RainnWilson (@rainnwilson) July 17, 2013

Horvat 'trying not to think about' expectations in Vancouver
Jul 11, 2013, 12:44 PM EDT
For now, Bo Horvat is known simply in Vancouver as the kid the Canucks got for goalie Cory Schneider.
The Canucks are obviously hoping he'll be known for more than that eventually, otherwise their big draft-day trade with the Devils (Schneider for New Jersey's ninth overall pick) has probably turned out poorly.
Horvat, in Vancouver this week for prospects' camp, spoke to reporters yesterday about the weight of expectations.
"I don't think there is any pressure," he said, per the Canadian Press. "I'm trying not to think about it too much. It's always going to be out there and everyone is going to be asking how I feel about it.
"I'm just going out there and playing my game and do what I do best. I want to focus on my game and prove I can be part of the Vancouver Canuck organization and prove to everyone they made the right decision."
Horvat — who was outsanding in the most recent OHL playoffs for the London Knights — will have a great opportunity to make the Canucks next season as an 18-year-old center. With no space to fit big-name free agents under the salary cap, Vancouver is desperate to get contributions from its prospects.
- nobandwagoners - Jul 11, 2013 at 1:27 PM
I wish Horvat good luck. But to make the team as an 18 year old – mmm, that's a tall task especially when he will definitely be judged by what the Canucks gave up, i.e. a blue-chip, young goalie (a single 9th overall pick for Schneids?! Yeow).
I like Horvat's attitude and I hope he's able to maintain that as his career progresses, especially if he's not an impact player right away (and, realistically, he most likely won't be – how many 18-yr old or any rookies are?). Just look at all the years of abuse and expectations heaped on the Sedins when they first started out. If the GMs at the time hadn't resisted all the media and fans' grumbling the Twins would have been shipped out before they reached their full potential.
- av416 - Jul 11, 2013 at 1:49 PM
Gotta feel for this kid right now. Making the NHL as an everyday player and contributor as an 18 year old is not something that should be expected unless the player is very, very special, which Horvat is not at this particular time. It's a tough spot because as much as he is benefited with having successful veterans on the team and as well at his position, you can't help but feel as though whoever was taken with this pick was gonna be screwed with unduly pressure, all because Mike Gillis screwed up in astronomical proportions.
- kaptaanamerica - Jul 11, 2013 at 2:38 PM
A lot of fans are stupid, just think of all the idiots criticizing the Sedins in their first 4 -5 seasons. Look at all the morons cutting down Kassian. They are all clueless about players, development, and expectations. The media is to blame as well since they should actually know better from being paid to cover the games, the team and hockey in general, but there are clowns in the media who jump all over the young players as well.
Too many numbskulls running around posing as hockey fans just to be part of the in crowd. They should go back to their condos and watch Seinfeld re-runs.
- kingcobraman - Jul 11, 2013 at 2:48 PM
ur right Gillis is killing this team… good luck Horvat ,miracles happen but ur a long shot this year….
- spochiefsfan - Jul 11, 2013 at 6:53 PM
What pressure on this kid! The trade definitely blew my mind.

First and foremost, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you! I am a very family oriented guy so from my family to yours I wish you the best of the Holiday Season and a very successful New Year.
At the beginning of this year I made two blog posts. The first was addressing buyers and the second was addressing sellers. Both post attempted to forecast the 2013 real estate market market in Las Vegas, the Inland Empire, the CA low desert, and the CA Hi Desert. How did I do?
Buying Real Estate in 2013- You can read the post HERE. In short, I made three points in this post.
1) It will not be easy being a buyer in 2013. I was right on the money. This year I have had several clients in the Las Vegas market that have been unable to complete a purchase. Home prices have skyrocketed by more than 25%. Inventory levels bottomed out in April to less than 3,000 units available. Real Estate offices became more and more cannibalistic feeding off of each other's listing before properties even hit the market. A direct conflict to the code of ethics we are required to follow as Realtors.
2) Financing will be more difficult in 2013. This was absolutely dead on. Get ready; there are more changes that could prove difficult for Buyers on the horizon. Not to mention the almost sure thing that interest rates will go up significantly in the next year. We started 2013 with many lenders offering below 4% fixed rates. Now most of those lenders are closer to 5%.
3) Hire the right Realtor. Again, this point was dead on accurate. With all the availability of information on the internet, you need a qualified Realtor to help you weed through the goods and bads of a home selection. Interview and hire a Realtor. Don't just take what you get.
Selling Real Estate in 2013- You can read the post HERE. In short, I made three points in this post.
1) It's your market, act like it. I forecasted 2013 to be a Seller's market and for the most part, I was right on. In most of the areas I work the inventory levels helped push the price levels to near 2002 or 2003 price points.
2) This may be the last year to short sell your home. I could not have been more wrong! Sorry!!! This will most likely be the last year of the 2007 debt relief act but there are still and will continue to be plenty of opportunity to short sell your home in 2014. Last month, in the Las Vegas market, over 25% of sales were short sales! I expect to see this number again next year and the year after.
3) It's time for Sellers to think outside the box. Missed this one also. I think I was just a little early on this forecast. I think this one will work better over the next four or five years.
I intend to post my 2014 forecast next month. I hope you will take the time to read it. As always, please call or email me with your real estate questions or concerns. I would love the opportunity to work for you.Tweet

Hawaii? Cheap? For a little while, yes. Tourism has been down all across the board recently, and Hawaii responded by lowering their rates. Cheap romantic getaways are suddenly available in just about every nook and cranny of the world. Take advantage of this opportunity by visiting the most romantic place on earth. The peaceful beaches contrast with the violent volcanoes to create an atmosphere of pure passion.
Disney World
The most magical place on earth is also one of the most romantic. The best way to save money here is by booking in the off-season. Go on a weekday in the middle of any season that isn't summer and you'll practically have the place to yourself, and you'll save a few bucks by booking in the thrifty off-season.
Warm locales don't have a monopoly on cheap romantic getaways! Just ask the French Canadians who flock to Charlevoix for its romantic auberges, farms, and one-of-a-kind whale watching opportunities. Enjoy it all from the comfort of a cozy apartment in Little Italy.
South Padre Island
This warm, lush Texas getaway is a favorite for visitors to the Lone Star State. The beaches are gorgeous, the night life is thriving, and the extremely close proximity to Mexico adds some exciting possibilities to the lower tip of Texas. With over a hundred rentals available, you'll surely find a great place to stay.
Traverse City
The Mitten State's economy may be famously on the downhill, but one of Michigan's businesses that continues to thrive is tourism, for good reason. Traverse City is filled with sunny beaches, gorgeous forests, scenic views, and great people. Check out the Cherry Festival in the summer for a week filled with romantic fun.
New York City
The busiest and largest city in the country is also one of the most romantic. There's no shortage of romantic sights to see. Enjoy the unbelievable view from the top of the Empire State Building. Ice skate at Rockefeller Center. Take a stroll through Central Park. You've got plenty of low-priced apartments to enjoy the Big Apple with big savings.
Napa Valley
The lush, rolling hills of wine country are a unique and memorable experience, perfect for a cheap romantic getaway. If you and your sweetie consider yourselves wine savvy—or if you just like to knock back a few—you'll both love a wine tasting tour through California's quiet, peaceful wine country.
If you're more of an active couple, get yourselves on the slopes at Telluride. You two can enjoy some of the world's best skiing from the comfort of your own cozy, private cabin. Ski in the day and unwind in front of a roaring fire with a hot mug of cocoa. For a true romantic dinner, hit up La Marmotte, a 125-year-old former icehouse, for a reasonably priced meal.
Indulge yourself in some old-fashioned southern charm in this gorgeous, sunny Georgia town. With over 21 public squares bursting with gorgeous gardens, Savannah is a great place to stroll around in. Top of your stay with a night or two a charming, old-fashioned carriage house.
Miami Beach
Vibrant city life collides with picturesque beaches in this southern Florida getaway. The Cuban food is superb and the lodging options are plentiful. Stay in a charming oceanfront beach house or a nearby condo—you'll save more money if you're little ways from the beach.

Triple Aught Design Stealth Hoodie
This isn't your average sweatshirt. The Triple Aught Design Stealth Hoodie ($325-$330) is a favorite of military and outdoorsy types thanks to high-end features like a wind- and waterproof c_change membrane that adapts to the climate inside and outside the garment, face and tricot backing treated with the Schoeller 3XDry moisture management system to keep out water, dirt, and stains while wicking away sweat, and coldback treatment to keep you dry, four-way stretchable fabric, velcro cuffs, and a clean design with strategically-placed pockets. It's the hoodie equivalent of Star Trek, without the distracting lens flares and irritating Romulans.

oil change and filter
Re: oil change and filter
It is legal. It is a good idea to do it yourself. It's also a good idea to get someone to help you through the first time or two so you can learn about safety wiring the filter in place and the tricks to making less of a mess!

Re: oil change and filter
There is a recent, similar thread. Search the forum and type in "150 Oil Change" in the subject.
I think $199 is rather steep unless they ran into a lot of problems (you didn't say). Typically I would think it takes an hour (labor ~$50) and then you have 7-8 quarts of oil ($25-$30) and an oil filter ($26). So I come up with ~$100.
Re: oil change and filter
Hi Dan
Yes it is legal.
No, you shouldn't do it until you have been taught how to.
You need some tools:
A torque wrench - oil filters have to be torqued just so,
And one of those gadets for fastening safety wire - can't remember the name of it - but it IS important,
I also recommend an oil filter cutter to check for anything in the filter that shouldn't be there.
After you buy all of that stuff?
8 litres of oil plus a filter (Here in Canada that will cost you C$70.00 and you are good to go.
I also add one can of Avblend ($20.00) because I like it. Some people will tell you it is a waste of money. You have to decide that one on your own
Re: oil change and filter
Oil Filter ~$25
8Qts Oil ~$35
1-1/2hrs[Flat rate]@ $62.50 = $93.75
So ~$160 gets:
De-cowl, drain the oil, replace the filter, Top-off, wash, re-cowl, run-up, inspect for leaks.
Filter inspection
Log entries.
Add $25 for an oil analysis kit & paperwork.
That's just for an oil change, not a 50hr inspection. Different beasts.
If they performed a 50hr inspection then $200 is not out of the realm of possibility.
I whole-heartedly encourage you to perform your oil changes. Like the previous posters advised, get some tooling, some training, and some supplies (a tube of Dow Corning 4 and a roll of .032 safety wire should last about 200 oil changes <grin>)
An owner who knows their aircraft inside and out will be very well rewarded when something goes awry. Luck favors the prepared.
On the other hand, if you're not so inclined to get covered in engine oil, disposing of the oil and the filter guts, and being current on your tetanus immunization, then let a shop do it.
Good[ ] Fast[ ] Cheap[ ]
(Pick Two)
Best regards,
Re: oil change and filter
Next time you pay $200, have them put in a quick drain. Then you will have no problem draining the oil yourself in the future. Next, I am sure you will be able to find an old timer hanging around the airport to help with the filter. I think most Champion filters torque to 17lbs. or so....if you get much more than that, you might have a really hard time getting it off, so get your hands on a torque wrench.

Ok .... I can't resist anymore....
*why* would you want to change the air in the tires?
This is mere curiosity as I am always looking to add to my list of the peculiar maintenance practices people perform on aircraft.
Re: oil change and filter
The molecules become compacted after about 50 landings, so they no longer fill the space evenly.
Flying schools change it even more often because of all the bouncers that they typically experience.

> *why* would you want to change the air in the tires?
Re: oil change and filter
Tony's absolutely correct! I've seen the evidence.
Ony might notice that during those hard landings,
the impact is usually with the bottom side of the tire.
compacting some of the air molecules
Then the tire starts spinning at a tremendous rate,
mixing up the molecules...after several hard landings
and many more compacted molecules, if the plane sits
for awhile, the compacted molecules, being more dense,
will settle back to the bottom. Being so compacted, they
are unable to maintain the proper shape of the bottom
of the tire. Fortuantely, my 182 is a pretty rugged beast.
If I were flying an RG, I'd probably be having to not only
change the air in my tires on a regular basis, I'd be having
to change the landing gear on occasion!

Sounds like you need a carpet of some sort of non slip matt. One of those padded dog mats maybe?
My primary concern with our Whippet is that she is comfortable in the hack. So a nice padded floor for her to lay on is a must. Then I think of security. She is my other halfs dog, but my other half wants to ride her own bike. This means there is a risk that the dog will try to join her when we stop. Not good.
I rigged up a leash that prevents her from leaving the hack but gives her enough to allow her to sit up when she wants to and to get down under cover out of the wind.
I don't think having a brake-away link is a particularly good idea. I'm deffinately of the oppinion that the dog is better off staying with the hack. If she gets thrown out and ends up badly injured, I want to be able to get to her asap. Not have to go hunting around in the bushes trying to find where she's been thrown by the impact. Or worse still, to wake up in hospital only to be told they didn't know to look for our dog.
Of course this is worse case senario. But the dog stays with me, whatever happens. Just like a child!
The land you visit may be a beautiful place with extraordinary views and heavenly skyes, but it's the people of the land that make it truly worthwhile returning time and time again.
Ay! and the roads need to be bloody good too
