Rainy day in downtown Mahon.
... and one can well understand the strategic importance of the port. Just as we finished the trip we were rewarded with a 3 hour thunderstorm with loads of thunder , lightening and at least 10 centimetres of rain. We spent the time having lunch overlooking the harbour. The boat got a little wet!!! as we left the boat unprepared for such ...
Chilling in Mahon
John writing the blog today.
Well another day in paradise, albeit overcast today (welcome to september). Finished drying out the boat just my bedding and a few teeshirts to go.
We were invited to lunch by Peter and Anthea two very old friends of Ians, we were picked up by Peters skipper Andy in a big rib ...
Ley day
Active day on the boat today although sailing miles much reduced - John cleaned and dried a pretty wet boat after yesterday's sail. Hard work aside we had time for a pleasant breakfast, lunch and now having lamb/sea bass for supper. Mahon an interesting town - quieter today as now entering the low season - maybe the marina prices will drop. Walked up into the old town before food looking at the sights! but now back on the waterside for food. Tomorrow may be even less active.
Arrived in the capital
We really did leave on time this morning. 7am and we left our mouring almost silently. A perfect first two to three hours on one tack up the southerly coast of the island - the last couple of hours was a bit painful as the sea swellbuilt up and the wind shifted. So plenty of tacking ...
Left ciutadella
... instructions to me. John did the tricky anchoring bit at the end. Paddled into town for supper Weather forecast tomorrow more of the same so should be fine sailing. Enjoying ourselves.
P.s. ian is a blind bugger, so I have had to edit this, or no one would understand it, ( dont worry he cant read this)
On a serious note it is very fine that we are back sailing together ...

"The European proposal was made by politicians, not scientists. And
the weight of scientific evidence shows no correlation between bee
health and the use of neonicotinoids. For example, in Australia, where
neonicotinoids are widely used, bees are thriving; yet in Switzerland,
where there is little use of these products, bee health is generally
Unlike Europe, regulators in the United States and Canada make
registration decisions based on a framework of sound science.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) review, on which the
proposal is based, was hurried, incomplete and failed to take
into account years of field monitoring, mitigation efforts,
real-life applications and sound scientific studies of
neonicotinoids and their impact on bees and other pollinators.
The real risks to bee health include many factors, principally the
parasitic Varroa mite, viruses carried by mites, loss of suitable
habitats and nutrition, the fungus Nosema ceranae and other
diseases. Unusual weather conditions and hive management
and other beekeeping practices also can affect bee health.
Agriculture is our business. We know how essential healthy bee
populations, and the pollination services they provide, are to a
thriving agricultural system. And the science shows clearly that
bees and other pollinators can coexist safely with modern
agricultural technology, like neonicotinoids.
Thiamethoxam and other neonicotinoid insecticides have been
used safely around the world for many years. Restricting their
use would do little to improve bee health, but could lead to
devastating crop damage, reductions in yield and force farmers
to go back to using older, less environmentally friendly insecticides."
"Commissions plan will not have a positive impact on bee health"
Monheim, April 29, 2013 Bayer CropScience considers the decision
by the Commission of the European Union to restrict the use of
neonicotinoid-containing products across Europe as a set-back for
technology, innovation and sustainability. In an Appeals Committee
meeting today, only half of the EU Member States supported the
Commissions proposal for the restrictions. The company believes
that the plan by the Commission will not have a positive impact on
bee health.
The company is concerned that the restriction of these neonicotinoids
will result in crop yield losses, reduced food quality and loss of
competitiveness for European agriculture. This will have a negative
impact on farmers, R&D driven ag companies, the seed industry and
the food value chain.
As a science-based company, Bayer CropScience is disappointed that
clear scientific evidence has taken a back-seat in the decision making
process. This disproportionate decision is a missed opportunity to reach
a solution that takes into consideration all of the existing product
stewardship measures and broad stakeholder concerns. The further
reduction of effective crop protection products will put at risk farmers
ability to tackle important pests that can severely restrict their ability
to grow high-quality food.
Bayer CropScience remains convinced that neonicotinoids are safe for
bees, when used responsibly and properly, according to label
instructions. The company will work together with all relevant
stakeholders and authorities in the Member States to handle the
complex consequences of this decision, to further support its customers."

Do they make a ring for the barell on these ARs, too attach a sling mount.
No front site on the weapon.
The free float tube, or whatever the hell you call it screws off.
I hate this single point sling thing.
Need old school sling set up.

You the Man j4...
How the hell do these new youngguns carry these damn single point slings?
Real Men carry over their shoulder.
$50 later I walked too the damn boat dock and almost got a sex change.
You want it, it is yours. Send me your address.
Friggen little plastic toy was slamming my cajones, my knee, my bad hip.
I almost called a damn ambulance after walking a 100 feet.
It's going in the canal with the rest of the crap I buy when I drink.
They should put a note with the damn thing.

Junk. Garbageeeee...

the single point sling is damn-mall ninjas thing!
i think the single point sling forces you to keep at least one hand on the m4 at all times--LOL
i don't use the SP-sling. i just use the regular sling and carry it like i was an automatic-rifleman from back in the 80s--
Hell 4th, just rig up a freakin crossdraw holster for it, something that small Ahnuld could wear two of them in ankle holsters in Commando 2: Matrix versus the rest of the Village People!!
hell 4th-- the single point sling might be the thing for the 1911!
Laugh if you will but I ended up using mine on my 41 mag S&W. Mounted a sling swivel stud on bottom of the grip like the old 45s, and Webley type lanyards and adjust it up tight when the gun is up at full aim. It holds it real steady for shooting off hand, and I carry the gun in a sholder holster rig, thats the only good use I've found for those damn things. And the 41 having a 8 3/8 barrel and a scope it helps there, I hate them on a rifle though. Just more maul ninja shit otherwise.
I admit, I laughed. But only because I imagined you leaning over an electric fence.
I bought the sling itself in a local gun shop..
Guy comes out with this AR had everything on it, except the kitchen stove.
lights, lazers, scopes, bayonet, horn.
30 inch bull barell. Single point sling.
"Here, try in on."
"Damn you o.k.?"
"No I am friggen choking too death. Get this damn thing off me."
Now he wants too sell me straps for my chest, so I wont frigging choke too death..
Maybe in the Sand Box it could work?
You walk through the swamps or bush with all that mummy stuff.
They will find your bones someday stuck too a damn tree.
Its going in the canal, tomorrow.
Why the hell did I buy it?

I love this stunning apartment. First of all it is stunningly located just yards from Saint Mark's so you can do your visits and pop in and out as often as you please, even late at night if you fancy a stroll through the Piazza it is right there at your doorstep. You always feel the atmosphere of the city, and feel that you are living in a true Venetian style. The apartment is cosy, I was there during quite cold weather but the apartment was always beautifully warm. And I love the apartment itself: the downstairs where the kitchen and singles beds are is spacious with room at the dining table for 6 easily. The upstairs however is a real jewel, the bedroom is one of the loveliest rooms I have ever spent time in, the furniture and decoration is beautiful and the warm ceiling timbers (also downstairs) are spectacular. While I stayed on my own I was very alive to the potential of Nicola's apartment for a protracted romantic break, it would be just perfect to share with someone special, perhaps another time... Finally communication with Nicola and check-in was perfect, he was very patient waiting for my arrival, and always just a text message away. I completely recommend this gem of an apartment in the very heart of the most beautiful city in the world, Venice.
I fully enjoyed the location and the artistic features of this well designed apartment. It is located steps away from St Marks Square. It has a good sized bedroom upstairs and sofa beds downstairs that accommodate up to two more people comfortably. Everything was quality and in good taste. We were fortunate to be welcomed by the architect who designed this extraordinary space. None of us asked about the story of the tiled lady at the bottom of the steps.
Nicola described how he created the built-ins in the kitchen to make a small space more efficient and how he designed the beautiful table. It is indeed artistically designed with well thought of details down to the tiniest features. We did miss having a microwave and coffee maker but there was a large fridge and full sized dishwasher. Since we came from London and then Paris, we expected something similar as they both had large coffee makers and microwaves. However, we found the more simple kitchen appliances in Rome as well. The bath was well designed and the jacuzzi was heavenly on my tired tourist feet and aching back.
This is a perfect site for a stay in Venice! Nicola has well organized our stay and we enjoyed our stay at Nicola! Much thanks and see you next time in Venice!
Great Host, Great Location,..you wont regret it.
we rented Nicolas apartment for a view days in June 2015 before we left for our cruise to the greek islands.
everything worked great, we couldnt ask for anything nicer ,..location was right behind the St Marco Square,..literally 150 meters.
thanks Nicola for hosting us, we had a wonderful time in Venice.
For us it was the perfect location.
Only 2-3 minutes to San Marco and maybe 10 to the Rialto Bridge, it was a very quiet and welcome home to us after days filled with walking and sightseeing. Located in a secluded, almost private little plaza we had quiet nights and slept well, but going outside and 50 m further you are in the middle of life with bars, shops and all you need.
The rooms upstairs (sleeping room and bath) we were very fond of, they are very nice and comfortable. For the kitchen we had no great use but it was well equipped for all needs.
Communication with Nicola was perfect too. With the description the casa was easy to find and arriving at the appartment he was there to tell us all we needed. Perfect.
Should we go again to Venice we would try to stay at this place.
This apartment is very comfortable and well equipped - and a perfect location just two minutes from St Mark's Square up a pretty narrow street. The apartment is small but ingeniously and stylishly designed. Ideal for a couple, but OK for one or two more people to sleep downstairs as well. The downstairs room (kitchen/living room) is quite dark but a pleasant space and the bedroom upstairs has a very attractive light and colours and feel to it. We weren't so sure about the mosaic at the bottom of the stairs, but don't let that put you off (you can always make her decent with a rug!) as this apartment is so well placed and well equipped. Nicola is helpful and informative – he quickly checked up and advised us on travel options when there was a water-bus strike. Highly recommended!
Hemos estado con los niños tres días en Casa Carlo Goldoni y nos ha encantado. Está situada a 1 minuto escaso de la Plaza de San Marcos, una situación ideal.
Nicola nos esperaba cuando llegamos y nos trató con gran amabilidad. No hemos tenido ni el más mínimo problema, una estancia perfecta en una situación extraordinaria y en un alojamiento encantador.
Gracias por todo Nicola. Volveremos, seguro.
Llegamos con retraso a Venecia pero Nicola nos esperó y nos atendió perfectamente.
El apartamento está situado en el mismo corazón de Venecia. A 2 minutos de la Piazza San Marco, pero sin el bullicio turístico ya que se encuentra en una placita privada. Esa misma placita es la que también da amplitud al apartamento.
Venecia es una ciudad con calles muy estrechas y es de agradecer que puedas mirar por la ventana y no tener la pared del edificio de delante a 1 metro.
El apartamento es limpio, acogedor y con una decoración muy especial. Tal como se ve en las fotos.
Además el jacuzzi es un buen aliado cuando llevas andando todo el día.
Es la tercera vez que estamos en Venecia y sin duda, el mejor sitio dónde nos hemos alojado en esta fantástica ciudad.
Gracias Nicola!!!
Juste un mot: Wow ! Au Coeur de l action en 2 minutes ! Propre , spacieux et luxueux ! Nicola est tres cordial et nous fait ses recommandations d "endroits a voir , comment se deplacer etc....Un Hote parfait dans ce coin de reve de l"Italie !
Si je retourne en Italie, c est certain que je retourne chez-lui!

The 50 best drinking songs
Raise a toast to the greatest drinking songs ever recorded about beer, whiskey, wine and white lightning
Next to sex, love and breakups, no subject matter has been a bigger muse to musicians than booze. After all, it's alcohol that typically leads to those first three acts. An Irish drinking song might be best suited for St. Patrick's Day, and the only suitable setting for "Shots" might be a college party, but truly any occasion is a good occasion for a drinking song. Feeling too blue to say cheers? We've got songs to drown your sorrows, too.
Written by Michael Chen, Brent DiCrescenzo, Sophie Harris, Oliver Keens, Hank Shteamer and Kate Wertheimer.
"Cheers (Drink to That)" by Rihanna
A toast to our interns, who chided us for overlooking this my-first-reggaetón chillaxer from 2010. "Don't let the bastards get you down," RiRi sings in her patois. Basic Rihanna rule: The more Caribbean she sounds, the better. Jameson Irish whiskey gets plugged heavily over a sample of Avril Lavigne, which reeks of product placement (there's a shout-out to Ray-Bans, too, official hangover concealer of Rihanna), but at least it's not Malibu.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"40oz. to Freedom" by Sublime
The SoCal ska-punks' 1992 track—off their debut album of the same name—isn't the band's finest work. Listening to Bradley Nowell (who died of a heroin overdose just four years later, at age 28) croon about finding solace at the bottom of a bottle is just too damn depressing. And in our experience, it's more like 40oz to the toilet. Still, the song is about as necessary for certain college freshmen as a Bob Marley poster.—Kate Wertheimer
"Drunk Girls" by LCD Soundsystem
Is "Drunk Girls" LCD Soundsystem's finest hour? No, of course not. But does it feel like a night of reckless boozing in New York City? Absolutely. James Murphy himself has described the 2010 single as "dumb." But, he added, "I like dumb, short stuff." More reasons to dig "Drunk Girls"? The wince-inducing video, codirected by Spike Jonze, shows Murphy and the LCD crew being manhandled by malevolent pandas. Dumb 'n' short 4 evah.—Sophie Harris
"Tearjoint" by Dan Penn
It's a crying shame that the 1973 Dan Penn cut "Tearjoint" is so darn hard to find on the Internet—and zero reflection of its status as drinking song supreme. Blue-eyed–country-soul singer Penn made his name producing the Box Tops hit "The Letter" and writing "I'm Your Puppet"—revered music scribe Peter Guralnick describes him as '60s R&B's "secret hero"— but Penn's own voice is raspy and smooth as suede. "This ain't no beerjoint," sighs Penn. "No, it's a tearjoint." Shed a tear in your tall one, y'all.—Sophie Harris
"One Mint Julep" by Louis Prima
Fleeting happiness in the haze of a drunken hour: Many songs have trod this path, but in the words of this jazz-pop standard, "One mint julep / Was the start of it all." Originally a hit for '50s doo-wop group the Clovers on Atlantic Records, the tune tells of stealing an intoxicated kiss from a woman after one sweet, minty cocktail, only to get hitched (at her father's demand) and end up confused, hungover and the father of six kids. Quite the tipple. Though Ray Charles's 1961 instrumental cover made it a hit, Louis Prima's unmistakably comic tone gives his version the edge.—Oliver Keens
"Warm Beer and Cold Women" by Tom Waits
…makes the rankings on title alone. But this creaky weeper from 1975's Nighthawks at the Diner manages to rhyme vermouth with Naugahyde booth, too. Admit it: Young-barfly Tom Waits totally destroys old-man-in-a-rusty-shed-with-a-mule Tom Waits.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Whiskey Girl" by Gillian Welch
There are drinking songs to carouse to, and there are drinking songs to listen to at 4am while you pour out another whiskey and your mind turns over what could've been, or where you could get cigarettes at this hour. Taken from Gillian Welch's exquisite, bleak 1998 album, Hell Among the Yearlings, "Whiskey Girl" falls into the latter category—and how.—Sophie Harris
"Drunk in Love" by Beyoncé
Yes, ostensibly it's a love song, but c'mon, Beyoncé was likely deep in her cups last year when she blurted the non sequitur hashtag "Surfbordt!" Ditto for Jay Z, who could not have been sober when he wrote, "Your breastesses is my breakfast." I think he stole that from Bukowski?—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Nightrain" by Guns N' Roses
We learned so much about bum wine through the music of our youth. "Brass Monkey," of course. Singing the jingle "S-T-crooked letter, S-T-Ides!" on the way to school. Busta Rhymes demanding, "Pass the Cisco!" ZZ Top boogying through "Thunderbird." And yet my naive tweenage self assumed this sleazy Gunners track was about a choo-choo. Or maybe heroin. No, Axl was going on about some Night Train Express, which looked and tasted like a mixture of corn syrup and Slash's blood. And you just know these scuzzbuckets poured it over their Frosted Flakes.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"8 Ball" by N.W.A
When N.W.A arrived in 1988, the media treated its members like church-burning death-metal Vikings. PMRC-trained suburban parents portrayed Ice, Eazy, Dre and Ren as hard, menacing threats (read: young and black). In hindsight, their music is quaint and playful. It really is not that huge of a leap for Cube to go from this to Ride Along. Here the "gangstas" come off as silly adolescents, the West Coast's answer to the Beastie Boys—who are sampled and referenced heavily in this Compton response to "Brass Monkey."—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Hold My Liquor" by Kanye West
This Yeezus cut has little to do with drinking and just as much to say about pussy and Deepak Chopra. But we love hearing backwoods soft-rock star Justin Vernon and delinquent drill rapper Chief Keef playing two little devils on Kanye's shoulders. The Bon Iver bro proclaims, "I can hold my liquor"; the Chicago kid retorts, "I can't handle no liquor"; and Yeezy delivers the punch line: "Slightly scratch your Corolla… Okay, I smashed your Corolla." It's 2013's best addict tragicomedy, next to the Lemmon quaaludes scene in The Wolf of Wall Street.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Have a Drink on Me" by AC/DC
Some might find it morose to include artists like Janis Joplin and Elliott Smith—who died young after wrestling with their demons—on a list about booze. Then there's AC/DC. Frontman Bon Scott attended his final recording session with the group in February 1980, working with Malcolm and Angus on this track. Days later, he was dead from alcohol poisoning. What did the band do? Mope? No, it hired a new singer and threw this cut on Back in Black.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Bank Holiday" by Blur
As an American, the closest thing I have to a bank holiday is Presidents' Day, which is hardly a rousing cause for shouting "Prost!" (Note: If Abe Lincoln is an excuse for you to drink, you are a raging alcoholic.) But this 1994 Britpop punker gave me a snapshot of U.K. binge culture in 1 minute and 42 seconds. "Bank holiday comes with six-pack of beer! Then it's back to work! Ay! Ay! Ay!" Albarn barks in a hops-soaked slur. Funny how Blur and Oasis fans fought. They all wanted a drink.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Irish Drinking Song" by Buck-O-Nine
It would have been an unconscionable oversight to not include a Celtic punk track. Personally, I stomach bands like Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys (who often get credit for this 1994 skanker) as well as I do a Jäger bong. This sort of steroid jock-ska is like having a bro in a Bruins hat projectile-vomit in your ear. Still, you gotta have one of these songs.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Milk and Alcohol" by Dr. Feelgood
The Big Lebowski may have cornered the market on White Russian references in pop culture, but this (rhythmically) chugging delight from bluesy Brits Dr. Feelgood gives dairy its sonic due. Written by Nick Lowe (after a night spent drinking Kahlúa and watching John Lee Hooker perform), its seedy stomp and heavy riffing positively ooze the illicit joys of a night on the town. Warning: may not be suitable for the lactose intolerant.—Oliver Keens
"Beer" by People Under the Stairs
This L.A. rap duo is hardly a household name. That seems to be somewhat intentional, as Thes One and Double K never had greater aspirations than to throw a ridonkulous house party, and no desire to take hip-hop beyond the scratch heyday of two turntables and a microphone. God bless 'em. "To my liver and kidneys, your time is near / You like hangin' on Twitter, and we like beer," proclaims K. The 2009 video is an homage to Laverne & Shirley. These dudes would make a great sitcom, too.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"I Like Beer" by Tom T. Hall
Gee, this stein-swinging sing-along from 1975 makes drunks seem quaint and adorable. Like commercials with horses falling in love with puppies. Not like raging douchebags who get into fights about football and fall in the street.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"More Beer" by Fear
How hard did these OG L.A. punks party? John Belushi, a goliath of excess, pushed to book them on SNL. Fun fact about that 1981 appearance, in which Lee Ving and his snotty band performed "Beef Baloney": Straight-edge godfather Ian MacKaye can be seen slam-dancing on the stage. We're guessing he ditched the Fear bandwagon before the release of "More Beer," the title track from the group's 1985 album, which also features "Have a Beer with Fear."—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Cold Gin" by Kiss
When I think of gin, I think of British gentlemen wearing bowlers and monocles, sipping Bombay or Hendrick's with their pinkies raised until they get sloshed enough to roll up their cuffed sleeves and box with their fists curled inward. I certainly don't think of horny dudes from Queens dressed like space clowns. But, whaddaya know, Kiss dropped the gin anthem in 1974.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" by George Thorogood and the Destroyers
This drinkin' blues song was first recorded in 1953, becoming one of several of its kind to reach the Top Ten on the Billboard R&B chart. John Lee Hooker popularized the tune with his 1966 cover, but Thorogood took it to a whole new level of bitching and moaning in his 1977 version, borrowing another of Hooker's songs, "House Rent Boogie," to serve as a backstory to explain the sorry singer's situation. Someone please give the man his drinks and shut him up already.—Kate Wertheimer
"(I Was Drunk at the) Pulpit" by the Palace Brothers
Anyone who's ever daydreamed of a little liquid refuge during a high-pressure workday can relate to this 1993 Palace Brothers gem, which tells the story of a preacher who abandons his house of worship "midsermon" and heads out in search of wasteoid oblivion. Will Oldham's voice, still in its quavery infancy, is the perfect vehicle for the tale: Over a numbingly simple guitar drone, he narrates his protagonist's dissolution, which starts to look a lot like enlightenment. "I sucked down a cupful / And God shone within," our hero says before delivering the take-this-job-and-shove-it kicker: "And I saw where I'd been / Was a palace of sin."—Hank Shteamer
"What Good Can Drinkin' Do" by Janis Joplin
Why do they call it the 12-bar blues? Because it sounds like Mama Miss Pearl hit a dozen watering holes before recording this—at the age of 19. Nineteen! We were picked on in high school too, but it drove us to novels about dragons, not howling soul music that tugs at your liverstrings. Joplin's vocal cords already sound like a public service announcement here. In hindsight, you can hear her speeding to oblivion. It's a cold splash on the spine, enough to both drive us to drink and scare us off it forever.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"En El Cielo No Hay Cerveza (In Heaven There Is No Beer)" by Flaco Jiménez
Ah, the existential justification for drinking beer. Originally composed for a German film in 1956, this song (also known as "The No Beer Polka") has been covered by a plethora of polka bands, translated into both English and Spanish. In our favorite version, 2003's "En El Cielo No Hay Cerveza" by Flaco Jiménez, we get to celebrate the earthly pleasure in all three languages.—Kate Wertheimer
"Between the Bars" by Elliott Smith
The brilliant thing about this hushed bummer from 1997 is that in the hands of an Irish or polka band, it would be a foot-stomping pub shaker. Here the melody's jiglike lilt is slowed to a glacial pace, spooked by the cold-turkey tremble of Smith's voice.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Lived in Bars" by Cat Power
Our drinking list oscillates between the celebratory and the self-loathing, between songs for drinking and songs about drinking. Frankly, I'm not sure where to file this gem from 2006. Chan Marshall's backstory and the languid first half suggest the latter. But then there are the lyrics—"There's nothing like living in a bottle!"—and the shoo-wop swing of the upbeat climax, not to mention the bittersweet beauty of her voice. But I guess that's what makes this song, and Cat Power, great: You can have it both ways, and typically do.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Kiss the Bottle" by Jawbreaker
With this, punk's most heartwrenching tune about alcohol, the Bay Area trio made living under a bridge and eating dumpster burritos seem utterly romantic in 1992. Hyperliterate squatter-bard Blake Schwarzenbach's vocals rasp and scratch like a man intimately acquainted with liquor and smokes: "I kissed the bottle / I should have been kissing you." Aww, my tears are gonna smear the ink on my zine.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Beer Run" by Todd Snider
Snider, an Americana alt-country folk-rocker from Memphis, penned this jocular anthem, about underage frat boys looking to score some brewskies before a Robert Earl Keen show, in 2002. It's tongue-in-cheek storytelling at its best, and Snider's spell-it-out chorus has become a universal party cry for—you guessed it—more beer.—Kate Wertheimer
"Tipsy" by J-Kwon
An infectious hip-hop celebration of getting buzzed, "Tipsy" has been setting off parties ever since it dropped in 2004. The hook couldn't be simpler: "Everybody in the club gettin' tipsy" (followed by a Ying Yang–style whisper of the same line), repeated four times. St. Louis rapper J-Kwon may have been a fresh-faced 17-year-old when he released this dance-floor classic (public service reminder: teen drinking is very bad!), but he proved wise beyond his years in following hip-hop's golden rule: club + alcohol = success.—Michael Chen
"Born Slippy" by Underworld
Lyrically, you could dismiss "Born Slippy" as a lout's anthem: "Shouting lager, lager, lager, lager," goes its beery chorus. But this 1995 hit, which features in the movie Trainspotting, goes far deeper. "Born Slippy" distills a clubber's night out into five minutes, starting with a slow, pretty synth refrain, building to pounding tech-house beats and then collapsing back into synthy stillness—a blissful, melancholic brainfuck.—Sophie Harris
"Happy Hour" by the Housemartins
Is this 1986 Brit hit the chirpiest drinking song on our list? We're going to say yes, based on its jangly Smiths-esque guitars, 200 proof sing-alongability and the fact that it's officially impossible to watch the video without a smile on your face. Set in a proper British boozer (translation: "pub"), the vid features a sweetly awkward dance routine and Claymation; plus, keen-eyed viewers will notice that the Housemartins' bassist is a very young Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim. Fancy that.—Sophie Harris
"Cigarettes & Alcohol" by Oasis
God, remember the world-conquering, chest-puffing awesomeness of Oasis? What the hell happened? To the songwriting, to Liam's voice? Oh, right, cigarettes and alcohol (and other vices). Can't wait to hear it at the Bud Light Lime Stage at Lollapalooza 2018.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Cheap Beer" by FIDLAR
"Beer's always better with a bag around it," the skater punks of FIDLAR (an acronym for Fuck It, Dawg, Life's a Risk—really) proclaim over polluted waves of crust-surf guitar in this 2013 burner. "I! Drink! Cheap! Beer! So! What! Fuck! You!" shouts the chorus. Gotta respect a band whose entire raison d'être is to score shitty brews via tour riders. Would you really rather listen to Animal Collective, hippie?—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Shots" by LMFAO featuring Lil Jon
We hate this song as much as you do. Of course we do. But the entire belly-shot community would beg to differ. And answer us this: Has any piece of music better simulated the jackhammering headache of a Russian-grade hangover? —Brent DiCrescenzo
"There's a Tear in My Beer" by Hank Williams Sr.
Though only one carried the title outright, all of Williams's songs were "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" at heart. The Alabama-born legend was tough as an old strip of donkey jerky, yet many of his songs revolved around crying. It made him more of a man—a man with a leather liver. "These last nine beers," he sings in that high hillbilly whine on this Nashville session, have only convinced him: "I'm gonna keep drinkin' until I'm petrified." A couple years later, in 1953, they pulled his body out of a Caddy littered with beer cans and lyric sheets.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Family Tradition" by Hank Williams Jr.
Williams got his daddy's name but not his sorrow. Though genes drag this rowdy redneck into his vices, he sings of them with pride, like a studio audience that whoops whenever a late-night host mentions weed. Bocephus hollers about alcoholism with the same gusto he gives to "Are you ready for some footbaaaaawl?" His best tune, this title track from his 1979 LP, is as much of a downer as his father's work, though more unintentionally sad.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett
Let's raise a glass to the tune that makes us feel a-okay about getting happy hour started just a little early. Or a lot early. Country crooner Alan Jackson enlisted the help of Margaritaville mayor Jimmy Buffett on this 2003 ditty about escaping the doldrums of the workday and tapping into a tipsier state of mind…even if it's half past twelve on a Tuesday. The song is a tad cheesy for our tastes, but there is no doubt—if our buddies Alan and Jimmy call us down to the cantina, we'll discreetly punch out and knock back a few. After all, it's chugalug time in Kuala Lumpur.—Michael Chen
"Here Comes a Regular" and "Beer for Breakfast" (tie) by the Replacements
From what I've heard and seen on YouTube of their early concerts, the Mats made all their songs drinking songs. The gloriously shambolic punk stuff raged like an adolescent who's seen a specter of his older self just ahead, slumped at a local bar and stamped with a gas-station name tag. Conversely, young Paul Westerberg's ballads carried the sadness of a middle-aged nobody yearning for his salad days. Somehow, the Minnesotans shifted between these two gears without blowing the clutch, as heard in these respective cuts from 1985 and '87.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Six Pack" by Black Flag
Next to country, no genre of music covers brewskies like punk. Which makes an easy argument for punk being an evolution of folk, or, conversely, that country & western was the original punk.… Because… See, this is what happens when Keith Morris leaves…though, really? This dumb song about being drunk and dumb is, like, a criticism of being drunk and dumb, because that's your only recour…recour…option. Because, Reagan… Wait, what was I talking about?—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Swimming Pools (Drank)" by Kendrick Lamar
You have to laugh whenever advertisers use "Born in the U.S.A." or "Fortunate Son" to summon patriotism. Similarly, the chorus chant of "Pour up. Drank! Head shot. Drank!" can likely be heard emanating from frat houses across the land, though Lamar's verses thoughtfully detail addiction and insecurity. The rapper embodies this dichotomy of introspection and mindless raging himself—he goes howling H.A.M. onstage, while on record he muses as if into a diary. Somewhere in Vegas, a swimming pool literally filled with vodka is being planned.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Margaritaville" by Jimmy Buffett
While we're decked out in our Hawaiian shirts and Bermuda shorts, scarfing down "cheeseburgers in paradise" at a Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant in Key West, allow us to pause and tip our straw hats to the lyrical brilliance of Buffett's 1977 classic. Behind its breezy tropical vibe, "Margaritaville" is, at heart, a tale of a man's failed romance and the great lengths he's traveled to cope. We love the subtle shifts in his thinking, from "It's nobody's fault" to "Hell, it could be my fault" to "It's my own damn fault." Is our protagonist sobering up or stumbling upon progressively drunker revelations? We're not sure, but we'd gladly order a round of the titular cocktail and discuss.—Michael Chen
"Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)" by the Doors
Penned by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill for the incendiary 1930 opera Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, this song was originally performed by a chorus of prostitutes. This more famous cover was recorded by the Doors in 1966 with a carnivalesque sound that perfectly illustrates what it's like to be smashed and along for the ride.—Kate Wertheimer
"Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks
You can't help but sing along with the common people at the local watering hole when the jukebox starts playing Garth Brooks's 1990 ode to drinking the blues away. You'll suddenly find yourself line dancing with folks you've never met and seeing if your vocal register can go to those low places in the song's signature chorus. And, of course, there will be plenty of whiskey and beer flowing. Fun fact: In the perfect marriage of song to hapless sports team, the Kansas City Royals (two winning seasons in the last 19 years) adopted "Friends in Low Places" as their sixth-inning sing-along anthem. It serves as a constant reminder to beleaguered fans that misery loves company…and booze.—Michael Chen
"Sippin' on Some Syrup" by Three 6 Mafia
Cough medicine plus Sprite, plus Jolly Ranchers. Holy shit, people drink that? Sprite? Look, when you're broke, you have to get creative with your addictions. Anything can become a habit. As Pimp C proclaimed in this song in 2000: "We eat so many shrimp, I've got iodine poisoning." So how did this Memphis hip-hop troupe go on to win an Oscar in 2006, for "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp"? Even pharmacists would have a hard time finding rhymes for promethazine and hydrocodone.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Too Drunk to Fuck" by Dead Kennedys
Hey, it's happened to the best of us. This 1981 surf-rock-heavy single was the fourth from the California punkers, who paint an exaggerated party picture mostly to offend music-industry prudes. Although the song reached No. 36 on the U.K. singles chart, it was often banned or censored, leading the Kennedys to supply a sticker for record shops reading "Caution: You are the victim of yet another stodgy retailer afraid to warp your mind by revealing the title of this record, so peel slowly and see.…" Nice touch, Biafra.—Kate Wertheimer
"Tequila" by the Champs
This two-minute instrumental—an ode to the magical elixir that needs but a one-word introduction—was recorded in 1958 by the Champs and written by Danny Flores, the voice behind the three mischievous "tequila"s spoken throughout and the man responsible for the tune's trademark "dirty sax" solo. We'll say this—the song gets us dancing even quicker than tequila does.—Kate Wertheimer
"Whiskey River" by Willie Nelson
Some consideration was given to "I Gotta Get Drunk," a 1970 Willie tune covered wonderfully by Phosphorescent in 2009. But that was the short-haired, clean-shaven Willie. On principle, we went with this classic off of Shotgun Willie, from the dawn of his stoner-cowboy era. Even though it was written by Johnny Bush, the song belongs to Willie, as essential to him as long braids and a bandanna.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Lilac Wine" by Nina Simone
Originally penned in 1950 for a theater revue, "Lilac Wine" has been covered by such greats as Eartha Kitt, Jeff Buckley and, er, Miley Cyrus. But only the High Priestess of Soul is able to give this moody ode to infatuation the drama and chill its lyrics and melody beg for. In her 1966 interpretation, her voice prowls around the song's deliciously dark lyrics like a cat, and for the listener, intoxication is inevitable.—Sophie Harris
"White Lightning" by George Jones
Beer and whiskey odes abound, but there aren't too many moonshine songs. Just this one, really. Perhaps that's because folks who drink methanol-laden mountain dew end up wearing overalls with one strap and having just as many teeth. Written by the Big Bopper, he of the Day the Music Died, "White Lightning" took George Jones to No. 1 in 1959. Essentially, this was the "Sippin' on Some Syrup" of the Eisenhower era.—Brent DiCrescenzo
"Gin & Juice" by Snoop Dogg
This was the first rap song to provide high-school parties with a cocktail recipe right in the title. Well, juice can be expensive. But "Gin & Gatorade" just doesn't have the same mellifluousness. On a side note, when's the last time you heard someone refer to weed as "indo"? 1994?—Brent DiCrescenzo
No. 1
"Brass Monkey" by Beastie Boys
It's an obvious observation, but this song came out before the Internet. Which means that I—like tens of thousands of 12-year-olds in 1986, I would imagine—was unable to immediately figure out what the hell the B Boys were whine-shouting about. I'll admit it: I thought the rap was about a monkey. Then, in high school, I learned from friends that a Brass Monkey was a sort of gutter mimosa—malt liquor and O.J. Gross. Then, in college, thanks to the World Wide Web, I discovered the source of that funk-skronk horn: Wild Sugar's deep-disco cut, "Bring It Here." Rad. And they say friends are better than the Internet.—Brent DiCrescenzo

I heard that honey can became toxic, or dangerous to consumption after was heated to a higher temperature(above 40 degrees Celsius). For example, when you are preparing a tea is not indicated to put honey right away, when the water is almost boiling, because it may eliminate a toxic substance for human body.
IIs that true or ...
Another question that I have is that if it's Ok to give honey to a child that is almost 1 and a half year old?

text: I recently picked up some die cast minitures, Fett's slave 1 and an unnamed firespray simply call Firespray interceptor. I know some other mandos had Firesprays of their own but I was curious to know if this one's paintjob matched any known ship in the universe. Other than Fett himself I would say the next most notable mando to fly a firespray would be Fenn shysa. Could this be his ship, and if not ,does anyone know what his ship looked like or possibly have an image of it?


text: I have a slightly custom paintjob on my truck. It is dated and needs a few places touched up, i.e. rust spots. I am thinking of sanding them down to bare metal and then priming them then putting a red primer and then a top coat, then wet sanding down the top coat until the red shows through. Kind of a modified patina paint job only on those spots and the roof.

Still, the island of Monemvasia (meaning 'one entrance' in Greek) is impressive on it's own. Towering out in the water it seems so out of place. A cast off from his brothers and sisters along the shore, he is alone out to sea. Solitary and alluring with large cliffs rising from the base he yells 'challenge me'! No wonder a bridge was built out to reach his shores and one of the most magnificent settlements was created there.
While traveling, someone likened Monemvasia to le-Mont-Saint-Michel. It is in the idea that
Standing from the shore of the mainland, I could see 2 structures on the topmost area of the island. These were haunting enough in their own right and made me want to explore up close. However, after climbing to the top I was surrounded by 100's of ruins.
A former Byzantine fortress ruled by the Venetians, I can imagine grand homes and churches adorning this topmost region. A place for the aristocrats to enjoy amazing sunrises. Later, when the Turks took over, churches converted to Mosques, and bath houses appeared. Now all that's left are crumbling walls, paths that used to be roads, and partial water cisterns (since there would be no fresh water).
What was most spectacular was that it wasn't 'tourified' at all. A simple sign stating that you
Brian has always had a wish when going through out buildings and different places. He
The lower city was a treat to behold as well. With the typical 'strip' filled with shops and restaurants, there was still a charm to it. With old shuttered windows folding down to create a little shelf or ledge for peering in. Plus, there was the added benefit of it being off-season
An island full of history and imagination, we easily lost a day wandering through the remains with every conversation starting with 'what if…' or 'I wonder…' If only we could know for sure!

As any astute longtime reader of this column
knows, there are certain times of the year when we
like to share our favorite appropriate stories with
you. You might call them our seasonal chestnuts. One
of these times is during Christmas, when we roll out
our version of "The Night Before Christmas" aptly
renamed "A
Caregiver's Christmas."
Another is on this very day, when we like to recount
the story of our Valentine's Day lovebirds – Mike
and Mindy…
Mike and Mindy
They heard about the session in the news that
very morning. Let's call them Mike and Mindy. I was
in their town to host an information and resource
panel and had a short interview on one of the local
television stations, which prompted their
attendance. The idea of the panel was to enable
caregivers to ask questions of their local experts
and receive immediate attention. My role was to
moderate and (hopefully) motivate.
At first, Mike and Mindy didn't ask any
questions. It seemed as if it took all their
available energy not to burst into tears. Finally,
their story emerged. They had been primary
caregivers for Mindy's mom, who lived with them for
over 18 years before she passed away last fall. Now,
his dad needed care. The rest of the story was
familiar enough—no local family except for a brother
living 30 miles away who might as well have been
living on another planet. The question they finally
asked that day was delivered in a low but plaintive
tone. "How can we get away, if even for a while?"
To me, the answers were simple enough. Their
community was at no loss for respite opportunities.
But as I listened while they were given credible
options for temporary relief, I realized something.
These folks were too drained and too lost to be able
to even hear the answers given. They were like the
person who needed to gain muscle strength before
being able to perform a strenuous physical task, but
were too weak and depressed to even start the
exercise needed to develop the muscles to begin the
task in the first place.

@ Hi hi i mean gay gay. Your trigger finger, Yep turbo controller
How original. You know I'm right so you have to rely on insulting my name since you don't have an actual comeback. I've had the ID since I was 12. I'm 17 now. If I could, I would change it but I'm not gonna make a new acc and lose all my Trophies.
Anyways, Turbo Controllers don't even give you that much of an advantage in UC3. They actually hinder most guns.
^Showing that I don't have a Turbo along the the Rapid G-MAL Glitch which is pretty much useless.
Re: Turbo Controllers - The Thread[ Edited ]
@ xxBLiTZKREIGxx perfect example of what I am talking about
First he comes on here and states his"friend" uses one and he can do this and he can do that.
Then the OP asked him to PM him his PSN id so that the OP can ask his "friend" what controller he uses.
xxBLiTZKREIGxx then does not want to give it out but will find out.
Why you so scared to give your friends psn what is the OP going to do? Or is that"friend" you that uses one but does not want to admit it on the forum?
Re: Turbo Controllers - The Thread
@ hi hi , that third video proves jack **bleep**. as somone mentioned earlier that you can slow dow a controller and speed it up. you could have had it on slow. second for your video you could have just used your finger. Bro the way to see this is 2 camera like i mentioned. One on your hand / controller /taps and the other in game. the game has to be live no cinema mode. also great you can shoot a gun with no enimies wow you are great. now put people in that game and lets see.
LMAO you guys are the biggest **bleep** ever
Re: Turbo Controllers - The Thread[ Edited ]
i really dont understand why you guys wont admit you use one. what are you scared off your tryhard fake rage quiting stats? I had a guy quit the other day. I messaged him as he had a kdr of ove 6 but is win/loss was well below 1. like .60% win loss.
I messaged him and ask, why are you wasting your time, are you that stupid and you think people cant see you rage quit?
He replied I had to go eat. I was what so your going negative and you cant wait 7 mins for the game to finish yet you have to "eat". Stupid people like most of you in this thread. Funniest **bleep** ever.
And for that guy that said he has never heard of a turbo controller Have you been living under a rock? LMFAO
Re: Turbo Controllers - The Thread
Re: Turbo Controllers - The Thread
He actually believes ppl can't have quick fingers or rhythm hahaha
Hey "life" i left many matches to eat, txt, and even order food
-i must be SO stupid for not taking this video game serious. OH NO!! My video game numbers!!!...i should eat less and maybe give up my friends XD
...let me insult and accuse others who are better than me and hide behind an alt account with dignity
I have a quick trigger finger and u can easily see that if u play with me, i also have 10K+ headshots. Accuse me of a controller and aimbot Life!!!! XD
I'll take a false accusation from u if it'll make u feel better that u can't do what many can.
I don't use anything else but my dualshock3 and phone when i play XD
I want video proof that you're sooo much better than the ppl here that u insult them and want them to go to such lengths to prove that they can do things u can't -_-
-u insult others over a video game mechanic u can't grasp
-u send hatemail
-alt account posting
-unjustified accusations
-not everyone is into gaming enough to know what a turbo controller is -_- most just know what they buy with the initial product ie ds3...
What is wrong with u...

Jamming happens when you fire *too* fast and the gun seems to fire slower (since most of your button presses will not register).
Don't worry about not knowing what a turbo controller is. I don't think anyone really discussed it until now.

But don't worry if you can't sample everything. After one taste of The Centre Bridge Inn, you'll surely be back for more.
"Situated beside the Delaware River three-and-a-half miles north of New Hope... Many of the lovely guest rooms have canopy, four-poster, or brass beds; wall-high armoires; modern private bathrooms; outside decks; and views of the river or countryside."-- Frommer's

I was using Tight Bond III to make some oak picture frames recently and had to take one apart, the glue was so strong it took pieces wood off at every joint. The glue is stronger than the wood (oak). I have also use Tight Bond II and Gorilla wood Glue with the same results.
With glue this strong is it even necessary to nail/staple the frames together?
Does anyone use only glue on their frames?
I made 100 foundationless deep frames with only glue for swarm boxes and they seem very strong and very quick to make. Should I test them to see how much weight the bottom rail can support? Anyone up for a competition nails vs. glue?

Download the New Mobroder EP from Scion A/V
I've been hearing rumblings about Mobroder since making a vacational trip to LA last April, and now finally, I've got some good tunes to share from this project, which pairs Spank Rock, Blu Jemz and Hoff on the production tip. In an attempt to channel legendary Italian producer Giorgio Moroder while working on the project, the trio put out the Rush EP effort via Scion A/V, and it features reinterpretations of the Mobroder track Rush by Turbotito, In Flagranti, Hardy Boyz, and Nile Delta, with a bonus cut featuring Amanda Blank.
Get the full on fun here, or grab that bonus cut below.

Paris overwhelmed by A380
I agree with Mike Wood about the ability of certain airports to cater for the volume of passengers an A380 can carry (A380s still come with baggage, Traveller Letters, November 10-11).
When my wife and I arrived on an A380 flight at France's Charles de Gaulle Airport, the baggage-retrieval system was in chaos. The carousel could not cope with the volume of luggage. Passengers tried in vain to retrieve bags. In the midst of the mayhem, a baggage handler wheeled in a trolley of about two metres in length and left it there, further affecting the available space.
The check-in experience, again for an A380 flight, wasn't better. The queue wound behind the check-in area and it took more than an hour to get to check-in. And then there was immigration ...
- Lance Munro
Mike Wood's experience with baggage-collection problems should be heeded by airport administrations. Much money has been spent expanding retail outlets for departing passengers but little to improve arrivals.
- Greg Cornwell
Melbourne's slow lane
Last month, my plane landed in Melbourne about 9am and I breezed through immigration, grabbed some duty-free goods and waited for my luggage to arrive. It took 40 minutes for luggage to appear on the carousel. At 9.50 am, I joined a line that was at least 200 metres long. A similar line was on the other side of the arrivals hall. At the end of each line were two customs officers. I walked from the terminal with my luggage at 11.40am. A poor effort by Melbourne Airport, given every morning a number of planes land about the same time.
- Ross Sullivan
Kind words for first-class crews
A smooth landing deserves praise, but maybe not a clap in these days of bulletproof, soundproof doors to the flight deck (A big hand for happy landings, Traveller Letters, November 10-11 and November 17-18). I do, however, always thank the flight crew, especially if one of them has appeared before I disembark the aircraft.
- Nicola M.J. Stainlay
ESTA site cuts costs
Travellers to the US need a travel authorisation, an ESTA, which can be obtained online. But be careful which website you use. The cost of the authorisation is $14. But I didn't know that - until now. I used Google to search for ESTA and found myself connected to a site in Britain, which charged me £45 ($69). My daughter found a site in France that charged her €65 ($80). My smart grandson used a US-based .gov site and paid $14. Sure, each authorisation we have is valid, but two of them are gold-plated. The site to use is cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/esta.
- Graham de Vahl Davis
Eateries are only the entree
The article about Chiang Mai's Ping River area in Thailand (Treats at the temple door, Traveller, November 10-11) was welcome because the area is a favourite haunt. However, mention is made only of eateries in laneways off the main road (Charoenraj Road), and it would be a pity to miss the gorgeous spots on the river.
There is Regina's, where you sit in a magical garden full of old wooden statues and eat fresh, delicious Thai food for next to nothing and sip Singha beer. A few doors away is The Gallery, where you listen to a traditional Thai orchestra and watch the boats go by. There is also the Pink Teahouse, where you can choose one of many lovely teas to drink or take away in a bag.
Strolling the riverside and choosing a place to eat or browse is one of the joys of visiting Chiang Mai.

Taggers come from all over the world to use virtually any surface in San Francisco as their canvas. The city fights back heroically, investing $20 million annually to teach residents and business owners how to clean up after vandals and thwart unsanctioned artistic displays.
Now the San Francisco Department of Public Works is testing a program aimed specifically at commercial vehicles. Many small-business owners park their trucks outside their homes on the streets, inadvertently providing vandals with a clean, white canvas. To reduce complaints from neighbors, the department is repainting 15 such trucks for free.
To qualify for the program, owners must show proof of San Francisco registration for two years and agree to keep the vehicle graffiti-free for a year. They drop off the vehicle for the weekend and, when they return, receive a supply of touch-up paint and tips for discouraging taggers. The department is using "transformer green" because the dark color has deterred the reoccurrence of graffiti on utility poles, trash receptacles, retaining walls, and other public property.
"We're sending a message to vandals and criminal taggers that their graffiti will not blight our neighborhoods," says Mohammed Nuru, public works deputy director and chair of the city's Graffiti Advisory Board. "A proactive program that focuses on prevention will help curb the spread of graffiti and ease the financial burden for hard-working business owners and taxpayers."
Funded with a $15,000 Community Challenge Grant, "Clean and Green Trucks" follows two similar programs public works launched in conjunction with the San Francisco Arts Commission. StreetsmARTS partners artists with business owners to make property less likely to be vandalized, and Where Art Lives educates students about the difference between community art and vandalism.
In addition, more than 1,300 residents have signed the department's Graffiti Pledge, a pledge drive launched last spring at a Zero Graffiti summit to encourage residents to prevent, remove, and report graffiti.

For those who suffer from depression.
Please pray that my friend may know God's love and mercy; that she may enter into a loving relationship with God, so that she may overcome her depression and addiction, and turn her life around.
Please pray that I'd be strong enough to carry this cross that's been given me, that my daughter will be enlightened to seek help for her mental illness, that she will one day be able to lead a normal and independent life. Please also pray that that day will come soon by the mercy of God.
Please pray for God's healing for a friend, in his 50s, who has esophageal and stomach cancer.
My dearest friend is in need of your prayers. Her husband is an alcoholic and she has a lot to bear as a consequence of his actions. Please also pray for him; he has lost his way and is in terrible torment, both physically and mentally. Thank you, and God bless you.
For the repose of the soul of a friend's aunt, who died suddenly.
For those who are looking for more ways to express their faith then you can visit our partner coupon site for gift items to share with others in your faith walk.
That my friend be blessed on her birthday, with happiness and peace and joy. Thank you.
Please pray for my aunt who is in the terminal stages of cancer which she has lived with for several years. Also for her husband who is frail and frightened at the impending loss of his wife of almost 60 years.
May I please ask for a few more prayers? They are for: my friend who has complications from surgery a year ago. His cancer may have returned, he is full of pain. For another friend who has horrible back pain due to disk issues. His father also just recently died and he's devastated. Thank you so much! God bless you all.
Please pray for a young boy who is drinking and taking drugs. He is 18, and has caused his mother and grandmother great concern. So many young men are unemployed and rebellious. They need hope for their future.
Praise God! My prayers were answered…yesterday I received a job offer! God is good!
Have you ever felt challenged? Ever thought that you can no longer fight back with all the trials that seem to be going your way? Everyone passes this. Nobody is excepted. Even if we believe firmly that God is with us, there will be time when we will feel we are left all alone. You should never feel this way. It will do you great goodness if you join Faith Ministries who can straighten your trust in God.
Our faith should be anchored in His great love towards us. So many Christians have faith in their faith alone, as opposed to the One who is the author and finisher of our faith. The more you know Him the more you love Him. The more you love Him the more you trust Him. The more you trust Him the deeper your faith grows. It's all tied together.
It becomes easier as you walk in this complete trust and confidence knowing He's for us and not against us. This is something that can be developed, we all have to grow in this. Don't be afraid of messing up as that only leads to the very things you're afraid of. You can be confident that even if you do mess up He will restore you and show you how to get back on track.
This certainly takes a lot of the pressure off. His Word tells us that perfect love cast out all fear. Believing that only God is the missing piece in your existence will bring you back to reality. You only need to let the flame burn once again and nothing will break you anymore. Sometime, we get overwhelmed with life's surprises that we tend to forget that all these are temporary. There is eternal happiness prepared for us if we only believe in God.
Challenges are present no matter where you go or what you do. Some people are strong-willed while others crumple easily. The difference could be because the stronger one has a firm belief that they can overcome these challenges because they have someone who can pull them up whenever it seems too much.
The other one could have been blinded because of the terrible pain he has to endure. Life is actually a daily battle. No one is left untouched by life's storms. It only varies on impacts, and it it differs on how we dance to the tune it plays. God, they say is the only thing we need but most often than not, He is also the reason why some individuals decide to give up. They feel that He left them.
Some think that the Lord has given up on them, thus the reason why he should give up as well. If you are able to wake up every day, that is enough reason to believe that He is still there. If you can still breathe air and look at the sky, that is enough evidence that He still waits for you to change. With all the unscrupulous things you did, if only mere being, He could have turned his back on you. But the truth is, He is your ally. He is your father.
And He is your only chance to survive the many challenges in your life. Hear His call once again and find your purpose. Follow His flock and join Faith Ministries who can help you make the flame burn once again. These problems or obstacles in their divergent forms and magnitudes, schemed by the enemy, can be likened to the mountains and the worlds that need be overcome by the faith in the omnipotence and faithfulness of God. Just seek for His love and you will be back on track.

No better way to meet it!
Wilma very nice - perfectly equipped house - quiet neighborhood - great
Access to the metro to Amsterdam
Besser kann man es nicht antreffen!
Wilma sehr nett - Haus perfekt ausgestattet - ruhige Umgebung - super
Anbindung zur Metro nach Amsterdam
We had a pleasant stay. Wilma was very kind. The house is very nice and was clean when we arrived.
VERY VERY Nice very well organized it was one of our best vacations we felt comfortable so much that we believed we were in our house !!!
It was so hard to leave her but we were happy with our vacation
So We really hope to come back soon..
We had a lovely stay at Wilma's beautiful house which was very well equipped and one of the best self catering places we've ever stayed at. Wilma was very welcoming and provided lots of useful information, and we loved Amsterdam.
It is a beautiful and clean house with everything you need.
We had a very nice trip, thank you Wilma for the warm welcome and the informations you gave to us.
We went as a family, we were 5. Everyone was delighted. Wilma greeted us warmly with a basket very friendly. Wilma is available, we contacted her in English. The house is spacious, comfortable, clean and pretty. The neighborhood is quiet, residential, pleasant and safe. With a supermarket located within 5 minutes walk. Public transport (metro) is a 10 minute walk. A tip: choose public transport to get to the center of Amsterdam, avoid taking the car. For outdoor walks requiring the use of the vehicle, the house is 5 minutes from the 4 channels. In summary, we are pleased with our stay, we highly recommend this property, also when we return to Amsterdam, we will take this property. Thank you Wilma.
Nous sommes partis en famille, nous étions 5. Tout le monde a été ravi. Wilma nous a accueillis chaleureusement, avec un panier garni très sympathique. Wilma est très disponible, nous avons communiqué avec elle en anglais. La maison est spacieuse, confortable, propre et jolie. Le quartier est calme, résidentiel, agréable et sécurisant. Avec une supérette située à moins de 5 mn à pied. Les transports en commun (métro) sont à 10 mn à pied. Un conseil : privilégiez les transports en commun pour aller dans le centre d'Amsterdam, évitez de prendre la voiture. Pour les promenades extérieures nécessitant l'utilisation du véhicule, la maison est à 5mn de la 4 voies. En résumé : nous sommes ravis de notre séjour, nous conseillons fortement cette location, d'ailleurs quand nous reviendrons à Amsterdam, nous reprendrons cette location. Thank you Wilma.
It was a real pleasure our journey in Wilma's home. The house is very well furnished, big and perfect for 5/6 peoples. Kids were happy with big TV, laptop, wi-fi connection, dvd and games. The kitchen is perfect (I'm Italian, believe me :) ), living room confortable, rooms bigs and well equipped. Moreover, Wilma will provide you with all infos about Amsterdam and the area outside the city. Supreme organization! Place around silent, quit and very nice. Neighbours very nice and friendly. What can we say? Thank you so much Wilma for let our holidays be perfect!
We had a really wonderful stay by Wilmas Place and in Amsterdam. A very nice, clean house with all you need, free parking in a quiet neighbourhood. Near to shop, restaurant, bus-stop, metro, Ajax-arena, De Toekomst, Amsterdam City. Furthermore a very warm, welcoming host and husband. So Many Thanks to You, Wilma + husband, for the Welcoming basket + All your Helpful Information about Amsterdam + surroundings. We Really hope to visit you again!
Vi hade det fantastiskt hos Wilmas och i Amsterdam. En fin radhuslägenhet med allt vad man behöver, gratis parkering i ett lugnt område. Nära till affär, restaurang, busshållplats, metro, Ajax arena, De Toekomst, Amsterdam city. Stort Tack för gästvänligheten, välkomstkorgen och All information. Hoppas på att besöka Er snart igen!
Tosi Hieno Asunto, lähes kaikkia: Ajax Arena, De Toekomst, Amsterdam City, kauppa, ravintola, linjaauto- sekä metropysäkki. Ilmainen parkkipaikka. Erittäin ystävällinen "talonisäntä"! Toivottovasti tulemme vieraamaan pian taas...
Wilma, the owner is a very nice lady. We were group of five Chinese from Canada, received warm welcome from Wilma who was helpful with all the local update information. The house is extremely clean and tidy made you feel at home. For sure we will come back to "my home" in Netherlands.
