Morris Minor MM

|1948–53; 250,962 produced
|Oxford, England Victoria Park, Australia
|Body and chassis
|Body style
|2/4-door saloon 2-door convertible
|918 cc Morris Sidevalve I4
|86 in (2,184 mm)
|148 in (3,759 mm)
Sir Alec Issigonis' concept was to combine the luxury and convenience of a good motor car at a price affordable by the working classes. The Minor was a roomy vehicle with superior cornering and handling characteristics. Internal politics inside BMC, the owner of Morris, may have led to the limited North American sales. The Minor prototype had been known as the Morris Mosquito. More than 1.3 million of the lightweight, rear-wheel drive cars were eventually produced, mainly in Cowley, Oxfordshire, becoming Britain's first million seller, and exported around the world, with many variants of the original model. Production continued in Birmingham, England until 1972 (for the commercial variants and estate only). The last Morris Minor (commercial) was assembled at Stoke, Nelson, New Zealand in 1974.
The original Minor MM series lasted from 1948 until 1953. It included a pair of four-seat saloons, two-door and (from 1950) a four-door, and a convertible four-seat Tourer. The front torsion bar suspension was shared with the larger Morris Oxford, as was the almost-unibody construction. Although the Minor was originally designed to accept a flat-4 engine, with four distinctive gaps in the engine bay to accommodate it, late in the development stage it was replaced by a 918 cc (56.0 cu in) side-valve inline-four engine pretty much unchanged from the outgoing Morris 8, and producing 27.5 hp (21 kW) and 39 lbf·ft (53 N·m) of torque. This little engine pushed the Minor to just 64 mph (103 km/h) but delivered 40 miles per imperial gallon (7.1 L/100 km; 33 mpg-US). Brakes were four-wheel drums.
Early cars had a painted section in the centre of the bumpers to cover the widening of the production car from the prototypes. This widening of 4 inches (102 mm) is also visible in the creases in the bonnet. Exports to the United States began in 1949 with the headlamps removed from within the grille surround to be mounted higher on the wings to meet local safety requirements. In 1950 a four-door version appeared, initially available only for export, and featuring from the start the headlamps faired into the wings rather than set lower down on either side of the grille. The raised headlight position became standard on all Minors in time for 1951. From the start, the Minor had semaphore-type turn indicators, and subsequent Minor versions persisted with these until 1961. An Autocar Magazine road test in 1950 reported that these were "not of the usual self-cancelling type, but incorporate[d] a time-basis return mechanism in a switch below the facia, in front of the driver". It was all too easy for a passenger hurriedly emerging from the front passenger seat to collide with and snap off a tardy indicator "flipper" that was still sticking out of the B-pillar, having not yet been safely returned by the time-basis return mechanism to its folded position.
The Morris Minor is a British economy car that debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show, London, on 20 September 1948.Designed under the leadership of Alec Issigonis, more than 1.3 million were manufactured between 1948 and 1972. Initially available as a two-door saloon and tourer (convertible), the range was subsequently expanded to include a four-door saloon in 1950, a wood-framed estate (the Traveller) from 1952 and panel van and pick-up truck variants from 1953.
Another innovation towards the end of 1950 was a water pump (replacing a gravity dependent system) which permitted the manufacturer to offer an interior heater "as optional equipment".
When production of the first series ended, just over a quarter of a million had been sold, 30% of them the convertible Tourer model.
A tourer tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1950 had a top speed of 58.7 mph (94.5 km/h) and could accelerate from 0–50 mph (80 km/h) in 29.2 seconds for the 1,098 cc engine. However, the 918 cc engine did 0-60 mph in 50+ seconds. A fuel consumption of 42 miles per imperial gallon (6.7 L/100 km; 35 mpg-US) was recorded. The test car cost £382 including taxes.
The Minor was manufactured in three series: the MM (1948), the Series II (1952) and finally the 1000 series (1956).

There is very rarely such a thing as an accident. An accident is an event that happens without warning and is nobody's fault. What happens more frequently are the incidents that we refer to as accidents in which someone causes injury to someone else through negligence. Negligence can be defined as irresponsible actions that leave someone else suffering as a result. It can be totally unintentional but will still cause damage that could have otherwise been prevented. An injury claim lawyer in Highgate Village will be able to assess from the facts you give them whether someone was negligent and what can be done to gain compensation for your injuries.
What do accident victims suffer from?
Of course the first thing is pain from their injuries and this may last hours, days, weeks, or in extreme cases – years. Some accident victims have injuries from which they never recover. But many accident victims also suffer financially and it is this loss of money that a good injury claim lawyer in Highgate Village will be able to recover for you as well as the compensation you are due for being injured by someone else.
Expenses such as taxis to hospital, care at home, child care, equipment to make life more bearable while you are at home – such as wheelchairs, private medical care, lost wages – can all be recovered by a compensation claim. Your injury lawyer can also help you find out about a flexible return to work and potential retraining if you need it. You will also be advised on what social security benefits you may be entitled to. Being paid for the pain you suffered as a result of your injury is quite simply the tip of the iceberg.
Injury claim lawyer in Highgate Village – Which one is right for you?
You may find that injury lawyers work in specialised fields and whilst there are general companies that deal with everything if you have a specialised case to make you have to make sure that you are dealing with a company that can suit your needs. Getting advice from Accident Advice Helpline is a good way of finding out your legal entitlement and what you need to do about starting a claim.
They work on a national basis and most of their claims can be handled by telephone. Your first point of contact with them is no obligation and you will be offered a thirty second test to assess your eligibility to make a claim. They can be contacted on 0800 689 0500 from a landline or 0333 500 0993 from a mobile twenty four hours a day seven days a week.
If you feel that you should be compensated for an accident that you suffered at the hands of someone else then call Accident Advice Helpline today and find out where you stand.

So my DD 3 yrs is recently potty-trained (day time). So far she is doing beautifully (touch wood). We still wear her diaper in the night.
Anyway..since the last week ..she has gotten up with a clean diaper and goes to pee as soon as she wakes up. The pee is concentrated and is a goodish amount (understandably).
Now the silly Q - Earlier she used to pee definitely 1 but maybe 2-3 times in the night (her diapers used to be way full in the morning). Now she is holding it all in. That should be fine right? How it should happen? I mean - she isn't too little and her bladder isn't too delicate to be holding so much pee for so long?
Signed...mom who seems to question everything in her wee DD's life :-)
I think that's fine. If you're worried about the concentrated urine, you could always have her drink a little extra in the morning to kind of 'flush' things out. But it sounds like a sign of great bladder control!!!

Following certification by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that the Government of Iran had met its obligations under the P5+1 Nuclear Agreement, the United States and European Union have now relaxed substantial portions of their sanctions regimes against Iran. The central components of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) are the roll-back of sanctions against the Iranian petroleum, petrochemical, oil and natural gas sectors, restoration of financial ties to certain Iranian banks (including the Central Bank of Iran), and the elimination of the vast majority of US extra-territorial sanctions imposed after 2012.

Together, the Treasury Guidance and related materials offer meaningful detail about the terms of the JPA - but also raise the potential for challenging compliance issues. As described below, the JPA is limited to its terms and contingent upon Iran's compliance with international obligations: as such, the JPA can be suspended or reversed without advance notice. Moreover, because the P5+1 countries (as well as the EU) each have to implement the JPA through their own legal systems, there is a significant potential for inconsistent regulations across key jurisdictions. Within this framework, implementation of the JPA is likely to have significant commercial consequences for global firms in the agriculture, energy, financial services, life sciences and pharmaceutical sectors, including those with interests in the Middle East.
Responding to the substantial growing demand for infrastructure assets throughout Africa, leading global law firm Dentons and African development finance institution Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) joined forces to host the Powering Africa's Future Forum. The event explored both the benefits and opportunities available to investors in infrastructure development and financing on the African continent.
Dentons Middle East Banking team has been recognised for the second time this year for advising financial institutions on award-winning transactions in the market, with leading financial publications IFN and emeafinance both acknowledging the team's expertise.
Dentons has advised Mashreqbank psc on a dual conventional and Islamic financing facility to Royal Jordanian Airlines, the national airline of Jordan. The syndicate was made up of eight banks based in UAE, Qatar, Jordan and France with Mashreqbank psc acting as sole Bookrunner and also as Mandated Lead Arranger, along with Al Khalij Commercial Bank (Al Khalij) Q.S.C, Arab Bank plc, Dubai Islamic Bank PJSC, and The Commercial Bank (Q.S.C.).

Celebrity Gossips
John Legend, Chrissy Teigen & Piers Morgan Feud: Racism Turns Sexism?
Following the death of Muhammad Ali on Friday, John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen reportedly got involved in a Twitter war with Piers Morgan because of the latter's comment.
Based on the report of Us Weekly, it appeared that the 37-year-old "All of Me" singer and 30-year-old model were unhappy with the 51-year-old journalist and TV personality saying that the late boxing champ was more "racist" than the US presidential candidate Donald Trump.
"Muhammad Ali said far more inflammatory/racist things about white people than Donald Trump ever has about Muslims. #fact," Morgan tweeted on Sunday, two days after the great boxer's death. "Why sugar-coat what Ali said or stood for?"
"He never did that to himself, or when speaking to others," he continued to allege. "I hope people don't make me sound too perfect when I die. No coats of sugar please."
As Legend came across Morgan's tweet, he immediately commented saying, "You could test us by announcing your retirement," to which his wife responded, "From what? Trolling isn't a job (I've tried)."
Morgan then fought back saying, "Maybe I should take up a proper job, like modeling?" to which Teigen wrote, "It keeps me nice and not-racist so sure, give it a go."
While the Twitter war about Muhammad Ali continued, the entertainment site suggested that it was the "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit" model who had the "last laugh" when she stated, "Remember when Bruce Willis didn't know he was dead? It's like that."
On Monday, Morgan continued to comment about the boxer on "Good Morning Britain," as he said that "There was another side to Ali. He was incredibly controversial."
Later that day, he appeared trying to taunt the husband and wife tandem further when he tweeted, ""You may want to read my new column about Ali & racism, @johnlegend @chrissyteigen — you may learn something."
In response, Teigen replied, "Sorry can't read, just a model doing modeling. Troll recognize troll."
In the meantime, CNN reported that Muhammad Ali's funeral and prayer service this week will be open to the public, and "all faiths are welcome."
"Ali spoke of inclusiveness his entire life," the boxer's spokesperson Bob Gunnell said. "We want this to be inclusive of everyone."
Muhammad Ali's funeral will happen at the KFC Yum! Center on Friday.

The Parkinsons : A Long Way From Nowhere
English punk rock. But from Portugal. Oh yes you can!...
Righteous disbelief seeps from this, the Parkinsons' debut seven track
mini-album. Who can blame them? Having fled their native Portugal to
relocate in the home of non-conformity, the Marquee Club
and Johnny Rotten, the Brylcreem rockers arrived to find
Enrique Iglesias at Number One, an 'alternative' scene overflowing with
acoustic guitar-huggers namechecking Randy Newman and Sting, and a macabre
waxwork of the Sex Pistols singer on show at Rock Circus. Their reaction,
musically and spiritually, has been that of four Charlton Heston's at the
close of 'Planet Of the Apes', raging at a world gone mad.
The name is a sick joke about a paralysing disease. On the sleeve singer
Alfonso Pinto is credited as Al Zheimer. You get the impression that the
band would happily peel off their skin and dive into a barrel of salt if
they thought it might offend someone.
Logical then, that musically the Parkinsons inhabit the narked hinterland of
the late seventies. Acoustic ballads about the poignancy of the sunrise are
in short supply. Indeed, Sham 69 fans may find shelter in the numbskull
bluster of 'Nothing To Lose' and 'Too Many Shut Ups'. Occasionally, as in
'Angel In The Dark', they trawl the depths of punk also-rans the Lurkers,
and you worry for them. Lyrically Alfonso dreams of a better world, where
nihilism rules. In 'Universe' he bawls [I]"Every day is just like the other
day"[/I] and you can't help but admire the attitude of someone who cares so much
for punk he will happily bore himself to death in homage to it.
In their sepia-tinged world 'muso's' are laughed at instead of lauded,
band's are judged solely by the width of their drainpipes and you can still
get change out of a fiver after a wild night out seeing the Vibrators at
the Roxy. Not for the faint-hearted, then. But the Parkinsons are worthy, wayward
spirits, and there's not many about.

An Indonesian furniture company nabbed the name after the Swedish company failed to use it for three years
A furniture manufacturer in Indonesia has managed to swipe the rights to trade as IKEA in the country after a court ruled in its favour. The Swedish flat-pack giant may now have to come up with a new brand identity in the country home to 230m people.
Indonesian company Ratania Khatulistiwa applied to the Jakarta-based authorities to use the world-famous trademark in December 2013, three years after the Swedish superstore had made the same application in 2010. But the Supreme Court sided with the Indonesia company, saying that because the Swedish furniture multinational had not used its trademark for three consecutive years, the rights were once again up for grabs.
The wily Indonesian company snapped them up, claiming that its IKEA was an acronym standing for 'Intan Khatulistiwa Esa Abadi', an apparent reference to the Indonesian palm rattan, widely used across the country's islands to make furniture.
Any comparisons to IKEA, an acronym standing for the Swedish company's founder (Ingvar Kamprad) as well as the farm and hometown where he grew up (Elmtaryd, Agunnaryd), is purely a coincidence, the company's lawyer claimed.
The Indonesian IKEA waited until the Swedish original had started constructing its first megastore in the country, located in Tangerang, west of Jakarta, in 2014 before launching legal proceedings. Winning in the District Court, the case continued all the way to the Supreme Court, which made its ruling last May – only announcing it on its website last week.
Inter IKEA Systems BV, the Dutch-based company that oversees IKEA's 301 worldwide stores and 30 franchises, told The Local that it had taken steps to ensure the company can continue to trade under the name.
"Despite the Supreme Court's decision, Inter IKEA Systems B.V. has provided for continued ownership of the IKEA trademark rights in Indonesia," a spokesperson said. "This means that the Indonesian IKEA franchisee has and will be able to continue the IKEA operations uninterruptedly regardless of the Supreme Court's decision."

HUGE thanks to the comic book medium and this industry which has made just about everything I'm thankful in my life possible. I've been reading comics regularly since 1975 (that's 41 years!) and have been fortunate to have owned Alternate Reality Comics for the past 21 years. I am so fortunate to be able to have my occupation involve my main passion in life and get to share this love of sequential art with people from all over the world just about every day. I've met SO many great people through the store, and get especially excited when I'm able to turn someone on to a new favorite comic or graphic novel. Thanks to the creators of the multitude of great comics / graphic novels being produced (and that were produced over years gone by) for creating works that entertain / enlighten and make possible my life. Thanks to my fellow comic book retailer friends for sharing their friendship and experiences with me this year and every year since I started. Biggest thanks has to go out to my friends / patrons of Alternate Reality Comics for making my store a regular part of your lives, to those of you from afar who have visited, and to everyone who reads / visits my store facebook page and sharing your love of this medium with me.

Today in China, every hospital has a Manipulation(Chinese massage,Tuina) therapy Department. Patients queue up from 8am every morning and have a huge range of symptoms, from prolapsed discs to frozen shoulder and sciatica, to diarrhoea, high blood pressure, migraines, knee problems, tendonitis, tennis / golf elbow to sun stroke, menstrual problems, fatigue or insomnia. Even more symptoms are treated in the infantile Tuina clinic within the department. Symptoms such as diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting, enuresis, convulsions, common cold, asthma, fever, whooping cough, chicken pox to name a few. Even infantile short sightedness is treated through Tuina massage!
all over the world. The behaviour of our forefathers was to rub, press, knead, pound or stamp on themselves or their fellows bodies in order to keep out cold, get rid of discomfort and treat various injuries, continually developing their practical experiences, which gradually became what is now known as a natural therapy.
The salient feature of this school is its strict observance of the system of main and collateral channels of the human body and accurate choosing of points along the channels for application of force. This kind of Manipulation(Chinese massage,Tuina) is suitable for internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics and treatment of miscellaneous diseases.
suitable principally for the treatment of hemiplegia, infantile paralysis, and sprain or contusion of the soft tissues of joints of
neck, shoulder, waist, hip and the four limbs.

We experienced an unscheduled Fire Alarm at approximately 11:50 am. The alarm was the result of one of our pull stations being accidentally triggerd. It's important to note that at no time was there a fire at our school. Our school was immediately evacuated. Staff and students were outside for approximately 40 minutes while the Fire Department worked to reset our alarm system and determined the cause.

The good news in this disruption is that our evacuation procedures worked perfectly and at no time was the safety of our students in question.

Had some of the friendliest coworkers, work environment was usually upbeat and engaging, customers recognized the brands and made it easy to sell product, loss prevention techniques would have been excellent had it of been utilized, payroll was very quick and organized, and the DISCOUNT WAS AMAZING!
Management was very disappointing. Seniority was the key factor in job placement, not skill. Plus, management hired anyone and everyone, especially for floor supervisor, but never allowed associates to be promoted. Management also felt they could treat customers badly because they were "above the rules"
Salary/wage was awful. My merit raise and review were pitched because my manager requested off the day of my review. A person with a lower review than me was working the same amount of time and had a higher wage because his reviews were published.
Some rules were also very unclear, leaving management to enforce them their own way.
5-8 hours a week, even though they claimed I was extremely good at customer service.
I also put a lot of effort into my job and felt there was no recognition. I was just "another associate"
Advice to Management
Mid-Level management should seriously consider the individuals they hire.
Ask the sales associates if they would like to be involved! They may want to stay with the company longer!

We had our first Managed Independent Learning time today! This independent work time is when I will eventually be pulling kids in small groups to work on reading skills. The students are working at a variety of stations around the classroom. Each student is in charge of managing his/her own learning and sharing what he/she did at the end of our workshop. Some of the stations activities include building play doh letters, drawing fall pictures, practicing letters/words on white boards, putting together name puzzles, and building our fine motor skills by using beads and tweezers. These activities will change throughout the year. They did amazing for their first day!

Cosy spare room offered to occasional guests in a beautiful corner of Hackney. The flat offers stunning views of London and is less than 5 mins walk from the underground (zone 2), 15 mins from Central London.
Le logement
I have a cosy room normally used as an office with a new futon (sleeping area 124cm x 200cm). I have now added memory foam mattress under the futon mattress for extra comfort. Will get some photos with the new bed soon. There is a small chest of drawers for your use and some hooks as well as some desk space.
The rest of a flat is spacious, brand new and has splendid views of the London skyline across a water reservoir. The area is quiet, away from traffic, just geese and ducks. Otherwise bathroom, kitchen, large living room to share with my daughter and myself, and two cats (just in case you're allergic). All mod cons (no microwave, no tv), wifi. There is also a large balcony where you may be able to enjoy the views over breakfast, weather permitting. Still in need of some decorating but if we get many happy customers that should hopefully improve.
The flat itself is about 5 mins walk away from Manor House tube station (zone 2) so some 15-20 mins to the Centre and many buses also run from here. There are a few convenience shops and a nice decently priced cafe that serves breakfast very nearby incl. a post office and a larger supermarket 10-15 mins walk away. We are within walking distance of two large parks, a climbing centre and the sailing club of course, as well as Green Lanes for Turkish restaurants or Stoke Newington which has a village feel and plenty of bars, restaurants etc...
Anything I may have forgotten, just ask.
Accès des voyageurs
Guests have access to all communal areas, bathroom, kitchen and lounge and of course the balcony.
You are also welcome to use wifi (I can't guarantee access to a laptop though, as I am normally in need of it for work).
Échanges avec les voyageurs
This is our home, we are around some of the time, and at other times, out and about going about the business of our busy lives. I normally work from home 3 days a week, so on such days, I can be available answer brief queries.
Autres remarques
We welcome occasional guests in our spare room, but I do have a full-time job, we have hobbies, friends etc... My approach to airbnb is friendly and flexible, more like receiving a friend of a friend, not running a business. If you expect room service and 24 hours reception, you're probably looking in the wrong place.
Please make sure you have arranged a check-in time with me about a week before your arrival date. I can accommodate most arrival time in London by leaving a key in a safe and am happy for you to store your luggage before the room is ready or after check-out. Please understand that there may be someone in the room who needs to check out and I will not kick them out of bed at dawn because you land really early in the morning. So flexible check-in means, trying to find a solution that suits everyone, not whatever time suits you best.
Please let us know if possible if you are delayed. We may be waiting to go somewhere, and it's easier if we know whether a guest is 5 mins or 2 hours away.
It's a lot easier for me to keep track of guests' check-in times, other enquiries etc... if all communications are kept on this site. On my personal email account, it'll probably get drowned in a sea of newsletters and ads, even if I respond, I may never find your message again.
A few things to save everyone some time:
The room really is too small to fit another mattress on the floor. It can fit a maximum of 2 people, there is no need to enquire about trying to fit 3 or more people.
The room is only available on a short-term basis (2 weeks maximum). We have use of the room ourselves and also receive friends and family. We have no interest in letting the room longer term.
The calendar is kept up-to-date, if the calendar says the room isn't available, then it isn't available.
Smoking is allowed but only on the balcony. Please use the ashtrays provided, it's not ok to flick cigarette butts onto the balcony below.

Seven years ago, I hired a local Feng Shui expert to consult with me in my home. I was dumbfounded by how accurately the practitioner described how my "overly earthed décor" was creating an in-balance in our home, and it was a direct reflection of my inner state of mind. At that time, I was going through a period of depression and I specifically designed our home to help me feel more grounded by adding lots of earthy tones and heavy dark furniture, but I over did it and I was feeling stuck. She asked me the significance of the pictures and décor I had chosen, and as I described my reasoning behind my design choices, I realized that much of what I selected was done without a deeper meaning for me.
In other words, I decorated my home as Kristin the interior designer, not the more expanded Kristin of who I had become. I wasn't connecting in with my décor from my heart and there was a disconnect between me and my home. It was a major aha moment for me. Once I made some of the changes she recommended I felt an immediate shift. That infamous appointment lead me on my path to study Feng Shui and dowsing and to a major shift in my life and interior design business. For me it was the best decision I could have ever made. I have learned many lessons from my own experiences and clients, and I'd love to share a few of the lessons I've learned with you.
Lesson #1 You attract what your heart desires
Ever since I spent the summer as a young adult in Austin TX. at my Aunt and Uncle's home, I've wanted a house with a beautiful view. Their home was built on top of Cat Mountain Cove with a mesmerizing view of Austin and I was enamored by it. Years later, when my husband and I started looking for a home, we were lead unexpectedly into Pennsylvania towards an open house sign of a new development. We had no plans to move into Pennsylvania from Delaware but once we saw the available lot with an incredible view of a valley and distant hills, we knew this was meant for us. The universe provided a vibrational match for what had been in my heart for a long time. What is in your heart? Where are you focusing your energy?
Lesson #2 Your home helps you to grow and expand
Whether you label life experiences as "good or bad" I believe in the most general terms that everything shows up in life is for our good. Sometimes we attract certain experiences to wake us up if we are heading off course and our homes can be a perfect supportive vessel to experience these changes.
For some, when they move into their new home everything in life improves. They fall in love with their new dwelling and decorate it with ease, get a job promotion, develop new interests or find their soul mate. This house would be considered to have good Feng Shui. For others, they can feel as if their life is going downhill after they have moved in. They may have trouble connecting with their home or have major problems with home repair or experience deteriorating health issues, accidents or job loss. This house would be considered less fortunate and could benefit from Feng Shui adjustments to improve the flow. Either way our homes are vessels in which we express ourselves, and we subconsciously choose them to learn and grow in life. They have their own energetic qualities that can be supportive or challenging and this shows up in different aspects of our lives. There are many factors that play a role in this, which could be a whole other blog, but the point is our homes are tied into the experience we are attracting at the time. We may resist our struggles in life, but they can be our biggest lessons for growth and expansion.
Lesson #3 Your home is a billboard to the universe. What does it say about you?
This is a biggie. When I heard Marie Diamond describe your home as a billboard to the universe it struck me. If this is true, then what do the symbols and images in your home say about you? What does piles of clutter tell the universe? That you desire more confusion and chaos in your life? That you're not open to new opportunities? What does rotting food in the refrigerator or stale outdated food in the pantry say? That you don't care about your health and attract unhealthy low vibrational energy? What do overgrown landscaping, broken or worn out appliances or decor, burnt out light bulbs, peeling paint, dirty windows, and dusty floors, say to the universe? Does it say you choose abundance and flow or is it saying I don't care and I don't deserve the best life has to offer? What do you want your billboard to look like? Imagine it's in the middle of Time Square. Hmmmm makes you think, doesn't it?
"One of the biggest ah-ha moments I had was when you said that your house is an advertisement to the Universe about who you are. Ever since then, I've been contemplating what I want my house to represent about me. That phrase has inspired me and I've taken action on removing clutter, cleaning and organizing my home and loving my home more fully, being grateful for it rather than cursing it because I've always overwhelmed by how much care it takes." Julie E.
Lesson #4 Surround Yourself with things you love
When you surround yourself with things you love you feel happy, supported and inspired. People who have things they can't stand things or feel neutral towards will have problems with their possessions. Have you chosen to take hand me downs from relatives out of obligation or because you love them? Do you have things in your home that friends have gifted you but it isn't your style? Surrounding yourself with things that you don't love drains your energy field. You may have become numb to it but every time you walk by it your energy field weakens. I suggest you consciously walk past everything in your home in each room and if you don't love or use something give it away.
Lesson #5 Your home sends you messages
Your home is working for you 24/7. It is often the first defense in sending you a signal that needs your attention. Since everything is energy, your homes is also part of the energy field in which you live and affects your everyday living. It is the reflection of everything that is happening on the inside. You could ask what came first the chicken or the egg? Is my home mirroring my inner mind or is the outer appearance of my home affecting my mind? I would say both. Pay attention to the signals it is giving you such as:
Leaking faucets say fix me otherwise your money is draining down the drain
Burnt light bulbs suggest you're burning the candle at both ends and are burnt out.
Water problems in the attic can signify financial concerns about your future
Water problems in the basement can signify financial concerns from your past
Dirty windows can signify you can't see with clarity
Loose handle can signify you can't get a grip on life, or grasp opportunities
Broken burners on your stove can indicate a drain on your finances
Clutter signifies you're stuck in the past, slows down new opportunities and drains your energy
Lesson #6 Everything changes and your home needs change to as well
I am in the process of changing the paint in my home from the earthy tones I chose 13 years ago to brighter and lighter colors that I want to surround myself with today. It's not always easy making changes because one thing leads to another, such as if I paint my walls, then the earthy rugs and furniture may need changing as well. But if you get a new game plan for change you can do it in stages. You must honor who you are today. Who you were a five or ten years ago, let alone yesterday is not who you are today. We are in constant state of change. Therefore, your sense of style will change with time as well. Colors and design that appealed to you in past may not appeal to you today. You may only need small tweaks or a bigger overhaul, but allow yourself to change your environment so that it will nurture and mirror your growth on your journey in life. If you need help in making changes in your home or office, I am here for you.

text: Feeding the Bulls May 11, 2011 By shelli We had the chance to visit my parents' farm this weekend. The kids enjoyed being outside. My son loved the bulls, but my daughter wasn't so sure. My daughter was definitely not dressed to be out there, but she had to wear the new outfit from grandma! My boy has no fear! Can't wait until we have cows of our own - my son likes them so much!

Review: Death Angel – The Evil Divide
It's always a comforting thing to see the old school thrash bands still going for it. Heavy music has evolved into so many subgenres that it's easy to forget the pioneers. Eventually, the bands who paved the way for all this music get taken for granted.
In the late 80"s, and 90's, California served as a hotbed for thrash metal. One of those Californian bands was Death Angel. A band initially dominated by Filipino descent, Death Angel was brought to life by cousins Rob Cavestany (lead guitar), Dennis Pepa (vocals, bass), Gus Pepa (rhythm guitar), and Andy Galeon (drums). Tallying eight studio albums, two demo tapes, one box set, and two live albums, Death Angel has left their mark.
Plugging in their guitars in 1982, Death Angel played alongside bands to the likes of Testament, Anthrax, D.R.I., Exodus, and Slayer, to name a few. The future looked bright for the band, but in 1990 tragedy struck when Andy Galeon was injured in a bus accident while on tour for the band's album 'Act III.' With Galeons recovery time eclipsing the year mark, the band decided to part ways in 1991.
A decade later, on August 11th, 2001, a benefit concert was held for Testament vocalist, Chuck Billy, and Death mastermind, Chuck Schuldinger. Both metal icons were battling different types of cancer at the time. Friends and peers in the thrash metal scene joined forces and held the concert 'Thrash of The Titans'. This was also the show that would be responsible for the return of Death Angel.
It's rare for a band like this to slip past me, but I'm man enough to admit it when it happens. Getting into the new release, 'The Evil Divide', it's blatantly obvious, that this is a band hell bent on staying true to the old school thrash metal sound. I hate when people complain about new records "having the same old sound". That sound is what made all of us love metal bands. Staying true to a sound isn't a lack of growth, it's a sign of love and dedication, and it deserves respect.
'The Evil Divide' is fast, in your face, and a genuine flashback in thrash metal dominance. Modern day bands don't even attempt to emulate this sound, it's left to the masters, and Death Angel knows the drill. The album erupts immediately with 'The Moth'. It's tough to explain, unless you've heard and love this style of metal. The phrase "melting your face", comes from this style and that's exactly what's delivered. Track four, 'Father of Lies,' is a standout song as it's a shred fest in the purest form. Understand, this entire album is an unabashed, breakneck serving of thrash metal. Hearing records like this is a breath of fresh air, so do yourself a favor and check out this album. You may just fall in love with it. 7/10
