This is a Video of a typical Breathing Seminar. (Filmed 2007 – its a bit long and wordy now but a good summary, even if you move forward to the 40 min mark after it starts you will get the essential info )
NB if some nasty sign comes up just email me and I'll send you a link that will work … there is a legacy censoring in the USA which should have been removed by now ! ( sorry I can't even blame Don Trump !)
The full video here is similar to the first day information Seminar that I used to advertise to explain how breathing really works, the Buteyko history, some clinical trials, my experience, How to get your nose clear, and the application of Breathing Retraining to nasal, asthma, and sleep problems inc snoring and sleep apnoea.
I urge you to email or call me to discuss your symptoms – and tell me which city in the world that you live. You CAN get better naturally and with permanent lifelong improvement ie you will have support from me for the rest of your life, but you wont need repeated "treatments" where you keep paying and paying.
Fix the CAUSE not just treat the SYMPTOMS. Elevated minute volume is present with ALL respiratory and sleep problems and should be the FIRST thing you correct, it will save so much angst and suffering.
If you are interested in doing the Breathing Course, 4 sessions over 4 days with this video being the preparation, the remaining 4 sessions are held in your home via skype or at my clinic in Brisbane, Australia..
Please call or email for information about your specific symptoms – sleep , asthma, panic, nasal, restless legs, chronic cough, apnoea(apnea) insomnia, low libido, TMJ, mouth breathing, pregnancy and childbirth, athletic performance I will explain specifically for your individual situation.
Why should you contact me ??
Well if I'm not the best and most experienced in the world then I'm very close to it. For 12 years full time, over 6000 people over 70% with sleep apnoea,
Australia "invented" sleep apnoea & the CPAP !! I'm on home ground here, we are continually amazed at the lack of experience in the Nth Hemisphere !! – My course is stimulating – you'll laugh, be motivated, you'll cry , you'll get better !!!
Oh you won't cry !!! google brian firth and read my reviews !

Griner Statement of Faith and Practice
(Scriptures quoted from the NKJV)
- We recognize Jesus Christ as the only means of salvation.
Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name
- We accept the Bible as the authoritative Word of God for our faith and practice, and believe that all Scripture is given by direct inspiration of God.
2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
2 Peter 1:21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that cultivating a personal devotional life by regular prayer and meditation on God through the Word is essential in spiritual growth.
Psalms 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.
Matt 26:41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
- We desire to live according to Jesus' teaching of love, peace and reconciliation in all our relationships. We purpose to give only good reports about others. If a good report cannot be given, we will follow Matt. 18 in the spirit of restoring, rather than exposing. When offenses or disputes arise within the brotherhood, we will seek to resolve them through mediation and arbitration within the brotherhood.
John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
Rom 12:9,10 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
Rom 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
1 Cor 6:1-8 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!7 Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated? 8 No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren!
Matt 18:15-17 "Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that 'by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.' 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.
- We recognize the need for fellowship and accountability; therefore we will faithfully support our congregational life by participating in our worship and service opportunities.
Heb 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
- We will take seriously Jesus' great commission by our daily words and actions. We will witness to those around us of God's saving and enabling grace.
Matt 28:19,20 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
- We recognize the things we possess (time, gifts, finances and etc.) are really a trust from God committed to us as His stewards. Therefore, we will use them responsibly by contributing to the Kingdom of God, especially through the church.
2 Cor. 9:6-8 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
- We believe that marriage, both Christian and non-Christian, is a life-time covenant between one man and one woman, and is recognized by God as a permanent, sacred bond terminated only by death. We believe that marriage problems should be dealt with in a redemptive manner. We believe that God does not sanction remarriage after divorce while the companion is still living.
Luke 16:18 "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
Mal 2:16 "For the Lord God of Israel saysThat He hates divorce,For it covers one's garment with violence,"Says the Lord of hosts."Therefore take heed to your spirit,That you do not deal treacherously."
- We believe that any sexual relationship outside the marriage bond is sin. Anyone involved in fornication, adultery, or homosexuality needs to repent of their sin in order to maintain fellowship with the body of Christ.
1 Cor 6:9,10 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
- We believe that the husband should diligently fulfill his role as leader in the home, modeling a Christ-like life in all relationships, loving his wife, and providing for the needs of his family by God's grace. We believe the wife, likewise, should fulfill her Biblical role, and be in submission to her husband.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her
Eph 5:28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord
Eph 5:24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
- We believe in God's order of headship, and accept its symbols as valid for our day. Christian men are to have short hair, and not have their heads covered when praying or prophesying. Christian women are to have their hair long and heads covered when praying or prophesying.
1 Cor 11:1-16 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.2 Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. 6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 9 Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. 10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. 12 For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.13 Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? 15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her[a] for a covering. 16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
- We believe it is the will of God for His children to show love that holds all human life sacred. Therefore, participation in warfare, euthanasia, abortion, retaliation, revenge, and prejudice are forbidden for the believers.
James 2:8,9 8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well; 9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Psalms 139:13-16 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works and that my soul knows very well.15 My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
Rom 12:17-21 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. 20 Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Below are practical applications from the Bible, and generally held practices we encourage. Our goal from these principles in Scripture is a walk of holiness leading to maturity in Christ.
- We believe that our outward appearance and conduct give a reflection of what is in our hearts. Our goal in our lifestyle choices is to reflect simplicity, modesty, and godliness. We encourage our women and girls to wear skirts or dresses, unless involved in activities where a skirt or dress could be immodest. We discourage the wearing of jewelry, other than a wedding band.
1 Peter 3:3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
1 Tim 2:9,10 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.
- We believe that as Christians our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. We will seek to honor Him in activities that build a wholesome body, character and thought life, avoiding activities that hinder our relationship with Christ and witness for Him.
1 Cor 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
1 Cor 6:19,20 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
Psalms 101:3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes;I hate the work of those who fall away;It shall not cling to me.
- We believe that God created men and women in His image, equal in value, yet with distinct roles in the church family. Men have been given a primary leadership role; women are especially fitted for nurture and service. This order was established by God before the fall, and was not a result of sin. Leadership positions such as Pastoral and Leadership teams, Worship leaders, and teaching positions in adult mixed classes would be reserved for men.
1 Cor 11: 3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

An hour after Jacksonville State beat South East Missouri State in the second round of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, the Morehead State Eagles and Murray State Racers took the court of Nashville's Municipal Auditorium to complete quarterfinal play.
During the first round of the tournament, Murray State beat Tennessee Tech, 85-84, in a double-overtime thriller. This magic would carry over to the second round as the Racers pushed past Morehead State in the closing minutes of the game, 75-69.
The matchup was a story of comebacks by Murray State — one in the first half and another in the second half.
Morehead State jumped out to a 15-3 lead seven minutes into the game. They had completed an 11-point run behind senior guard Xavier Moon, while Murray State shot a measly 1-6 from the field and had six turnovers.
By halftime, though, Murray State brought the score to 44-37, thanks to efficiency at the free throw line and streaky offense from junior guard Jonathan Stark.
Stark scored 18 points in the first half, and his team went to the charity stripe 15 times, converting 13 attempts (87%).
With nine minutes remaining in the second half, Morehead State opened another double-digit lead, 61-51, after sophomore forward Lamontray Harris came off the bench and contributed a quick nine points.
Again, though, Murray State responded behind the leadership of James Stark, who gave the Racers a 62-61 lead after hitting two three-pointers, dishing out an assist to junior forward Terrell Miller Jr., and converting two free throw attempts.
Stark was undoubtedly the best performer for both teams, finishing the game with 37 points, four assists, and three rebounds. He shot 11-of-25 (44%) from the field and 7-of-13 (54%) from beyond the arc, while converted 8-of-9 free throw attempts.
It was a fitting follow-up to his 41-point outing against Tennessee Tech in Wednesday's first round game.
Murray State now advances to the semifinals of the OVC Tournament, where they will face the No. 2 seeded UT Martin Skyhawks on Friday.

More politics news
Scott Brown, Elizabeth Warren define 'middle class,' talk economy and military base closures in Springfield debate
Local politicians were quick to respond to Wednesday night's debate between Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown and Democratic Harvard Law School professor Elizabeth Warren. Who won? It depends which candidate you support. Here's a sampling:
Democratic U.S. Rep. Richard Neal of Springfield: "I thought Elizabeth Warren had a terrific night….She pointed out tonight that budget deficits did not accrue overnight...(she has an) understanding we don't take an oath to support Grover Norquist, we take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States ….We all hear her argument tonight about standing up for families of Massachusetts, not just special interests."
Former Democratic Springfield mayor Charles Ryan, who endorsed Brown: "I am supporting Scott Brown because I know he will continue to represent us as one of the few, true independent voices in the Senate. Our country faces serious challenges right now, and we need leaders like Scott who will always put his state and constituents ahead of party politics. Tonight, the people of Springfield saw the moderate, bridge-builder that I am proud to endorse, and that's why he won tonight's debate and will win re-election in November."
Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman John Walsh: "Once again, Elizabeth Warren made it absolutely clear whose side she stands on, and what would happen to middle-class families, and especially to women, if Republicans control the Senate. Scott Brown has joined Republicans to vote against equal pay for women, to restrict insurance coverage for birth control, and opposed a pro-choice nominee for the Supreme Court. He has chosen Wall Street and huge corporations over the needs of working families across the Commonwealth, and he has signed Grover Norquist's extreme pledge to preserve tax breaks for billionaires, while letting taxes rise on the middle-class. Elizabeth Warren proved tonight that she is going to be a senator Massachusetts families can count on all of the time, not just some of the time."
Republican Westfield Mayor Dan Knapik: "Tonight, Senator Brown showed why he is the right candidate for Western Massachusetts and the rest of our Commonwealth: he wants to keep taxes low so people have more money in their pockets to spend and so businesses can hire more employees. This commonsense approach is in stark contrast to what Professor Warren has proposed - $3.4 trillion in higher taxes that will crush our economy and kill 700,000 jobs across the country. Professor Warren would make a bad economy even worse, and that's why we need Scott Brown's independent, pro-jobs leadership in the Senate."
Massachusetts AFL-CIO President Steven Tolman: "Tonight, Brown sided with Grover Norquist, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in defending his record of refusing to raise taxes on the most wealthy Americans, taking away health care from the newly insured, and doubling the interest on student loans. Warren accurately pointed out that Brown has taken some votes to make his record appear somewhat bipartisan, but when Massachusetts' working families need him – on jobs bills, unemployment insurance, equal pay for equal work – they couldn't count on him. And we need a senator we can count on all of the time…. There is only one person in this race who continually stands with working people, who will make millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share, who will stand up to Wall Street and who will protect Medicare, Social Security and health care. That's Elizabeth Warren, far and away the winner of tonight's debate.""
State Senator Mike Knapik, a Republican who represents the 2nd Hampden and Hampshire district: "Following tonight's debate it's clear that Scott Brown is the best person to represent the citizens of Western Massachusetts. As the second most bipartisan United States Senator, he has a record of working across party lines to advocate for our region and he has proven willing to put in the hard work to solve our nation's problems. This is the type of legislator Scott was when I worked with him in the Massachusetts State Senate and the type he has continued to be working for us in Washington. I am pleased to lend my support to Scott and enthusiastically endorse his candidacy."

The Largest Diecast Store
in Canada
3500 Square Feet of Diecast Collectibles
One of the big questions when you're a car memorabilia collector certainly has to be, where exactly do you go to find new and cool items? As far as dedicated stores go, your options are slim. Chances are it won't always be an easy task finding exactly what you are after. Enter Diecast Depot out of Edmonton, Alberta, who, since opening in 2005, has created a place where enthusiasts can have it all in a one-stop shop.
Owned by wife and husband Joanne and Barry, the store remains in its original 3,500 sq-ft shop in Northwest Edmonton and continues to thrive as one of the largest diecast stores in the world. Initially relying on getting new customers through word of mouth, the store has stepped up advertising in the past few years which has allowed them to reach the next level and become one of the premier stores of its kind. Although there is quite a following of regular customers, Diecast Depot also ships worldwide, having sent products to places as far as Japan.
Tons of Inventory
As with any other type of product, there are a number of different trends that go on through the auto memorabilia world and Diecast Depot prides itself staying for staying on top of them and stocking their shelves with the latest and greatest. Receiving new shipments of products every 4-6 weeks, Joanne and Barry are constantly checking on what's new in the industry and what people are looking for.
Although it's hard to nail it down exactly due to there being such a wide range of items available at the store, Joanne tells us that diecasts of movie cars have always been and will continue to be a big seller. Whether it is the Batmobile to any of the cars from Fast and the Furious franchise, these have always been a huge deal to collectors and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
The perfect Gift
Looking ahead to the future, being that stores like it are few and far between, Diecast Depot expects that it will continue to thrive thanks in part to their regular customers, but also because any of their vast arrays of products make a great gift for anyone who has any sort of interest in the automotive industry.

Business –regardless of its size- thrives on change and modification. It's a commonly accepted fact that the growth of any organisation is synonymous with its continuous adaption to change. If there is one thing that is common between businessmen of high repute, it's their constant monitoring of new developments in economy, politics and society of regions they operate from.
With the Gulf Cooperation Council announcing a Value Added Tax from 2018, it has become a matter of utmost importance that businessmen based in the GCC region not only understand the upcoming VAT, but also prepare their businesses for a smooth implementation.
GCC VAT is an indirect tax that will be levied on goods and services in the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council. The member states of GCC are Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait.
Registered businesses who operate in any of these states will levy the VAT on the goods and services they supply, on behalf of the government. It will be levied in each stage of the supply chain and the end user will incur its payment. The GCC VAT will also be levied on the import of goods.
The GCC has applied zero-rate on certain goods and services such as medicine and medicine supplies, certain food, the oil sector, international and intra-GCC transport, supply outside the GCC (export) and the supply of precious metals for investment.
Apart from this, every member state of the GCC can also apply zero-rate on some sectors such as education, real estate, local transport and medicine.
The zero-rate of effectively makes the above goods, services and sectors exempt from the GCC VAT.
The GCC VAT will be calculated at the rate of 5 Percent. However, as mentioned above, certain sectors and exports will be taxed zero Percent, making them tax exempt.
Every business which has an annual turnover of SAR 375,000 (or its equivalent in the currency of any GCC member state) is required to register for the VAT. In other words, the annual turnover of SAR 375,000 or its equivalent is VAT registration threshold. Businesses whose annual turnover is below the said amount are not obligated to register, though they can do so voluntarily.
The main document that a business needs to maintain to file VAT returns is the invoice. Business should issue VAT invoices on every sale they make and every service they offer. Apart from the invoices, business should also keep records such as:
It should be noted that after registration, calculation and reporting the VAT are the most important activities to be done. For both, invoices are very important.
Businesses are required to file their VAT returns monthly or quarterly. Although there will be an online platform for filing VAT returns, all businesses are required to keep hardcopies of the returns filed. The GCC VAT is based on self-assessment; therefore, the onus of calculating it, filing the returns etc. will be on businesses and service providers.
Business can gain advantage in the new VAT regime if they prepare early for it. Early preparation will include implementing an adept ERP system that is compliant with the new VAT rules. This will be the first time that businesses in GCC will be operating under tax rules. It is very vital that compliant ERP systems are not only implemented but comprehensively tested to iron out any possible glitches that may crop up.
Thanks to technology, businesses can use ERP solutions to keep pace with VAT calculations without hindering their operations. Business will have to choose a robust system that is equipped with multiple capabilities. An ERP that is capable of different processes and is not restricted to an on-premise platform.
Focus 8 has emerged as one of the most preferred and highly dependable ERP software in the GCC region. It has the following features that make it perfect for businesses operating in the GCC region.
Focus 8 also has features to generate exception reports to ensure that nothing remains amiss while calculating the VAT. Its rational analysis report includes features such as:
Focus Softnet has successfully implemented tax compliant ERP solutions in several countries. With an experience of over 25 years, it has brought to the fore, several industry specific business solutions which have proved their mettle throughout the years.
With the VAT looming ahead, businesses should hasten towards implementing a compliant and strong ERP to prepare for the new tax regime. For this, the first step will be to register for a free demonstration of a reliable solution like Focus 8.

The power demand of discharge lamps used in public lighting Public lighting in the UK is powered from the electricity supply system without metering. For many years, charges for electricity for public lighting were based on individual supply contracts between the local electricity supplier and the local authority but since privatization of the electricity supply industry a new system has been introduced. Over the last decade, a number of field measurements have cast doubt on the accuracy of some of the power demand values used to determine electricity charges. This research was therefore commissioned to determine the validity of the field measurements used; to identify possible reasons for discrepancies; and to recommend what should be done to establish a just system for charging for electricity for public lighting. This research was conducted by Sheffield Hallam University [www.shu.ac.uk] ------------KM7ae0ae0Ef1cH2Ef1ae0gL6cH2gL6 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="folder" /ukrlg_admin/

Let's Make a Basic Liquid Soap
If you are comfortable with the basics of cold process soap making and looking for a new challenge, try making liquid soap. It is more complicated and takes a lot of patience. You'll likely notice a few changes in your soap making process, but if you follow the steps carefully, it is not too difficult.
The major difference between bar soaps and liquid soaps is the alkali used to saponify the oils. All soap, whether hard or liquid, starts with a simple chemical reaction between oils and an alkali. With bar soaps, it's sodium hydroxide. With liquid soaps, it's potassium hydroxide.
Liquid soap is a bit more complicated to make at home. For beginners, it's best to use a tried and true recipe that results in a good balance of lather and moisturizing.
For this recipe you'll need:
- 16.5 oz. sunflower oil
- 7 oz. coconut oil
- 5.5 oz. potassium hydroxide KOH
- 16.5 oz. distilled water for the lye mixture
- 40 oz. distilled water to dilute the soap paste
- Either 2 oz. of boric acid or 3 oz. of borax mixed into 10 or 6 oz. of water
- Approx. 3 oz. fragrance or essential oil, as desired
- Soap dye or colorant, if desired
You'll also need:

- Basic tools for mixing the lye
- Large crockpot
- Thermometer, scale, measuring cups
- Stick blender
- Potato masher and/or flat whisk

Mix the Lye-Water Solution and the Oils for the Liquid Soap
A major difference between making liquid soap and bar soap is that that it is a "hot process" soap. Instead of relying on the heat generated by the saponification process, heat is added using a double boiler, oven, or crockpot. This recipe can be made in a double boiler or the oven, but a crock pot is preferred. It keeps everything in one pot and lets it cook evenly without having to monitor the water in a double boiler.
Begin the Soapmaking
Measure out your oils and put them in the crockpot on low. You want this mixture to be at about 160 degrees (give or take 10) throughout.
While the oils are heating up, mix your lye-water, using the standard lye-making procedure. If you've never used potassium hydroxide before, don't be alarmed. It's a bit more volatile in the water than sodium hydroxide. It makes an odd boiling/groaning sound as it's dissolving. This is normal.
When the lye-water is completely mixed and clear, slowly add it into your oils. (You don't need to wait until it is cool.) Don't turn the stick blender on just yet. Just stir the oils and lye together. Then, like in cold process soap making, start using the stick blender. At first, it will seem to want to separate. Keep blending.Continue to 3 of 10 below.
03 of 10
Bring the Soap Paste to Trace
Depending on your mixture of oils, it will take a long time to get to trace, up to 30 minutes. "Trace" for liquid soap looks pretty much like cold process. It's kind of pudding-like, or a blend of pudding and applesauce, with the characteristic "traces" and/or ridges when you dribble the soap back into the pot or stir. You can't really stir it too much, so it's best to make sure you've got a good solid trace before moving to the next step.Continue to 4 of 10 below.
04 of 10
Cook the Paste for Liquid Soap
Once the soap has reached trace, you'll need to give the soap one more good stir, shake off your stick blender, put the lid on the pot, and wait.
Check on the soap in about 15 to 20 minutes. If there's any separation, just stir it and put the lid back on. Keep checking on the soap every 20 to 30 minutes.
In the 3 to 4 hours it will take this soap to cook, it will transform and go through several "stages." Don't worry if you don't see one, sometimes a stage will be brief and you'll miss it. The "stages" usually are:
- Thick applesauce
- Cooked custard with small bubbles
- Watery mashed potatoes
- Solid taffy
- Chunky/creamy Vaseline
- Translucent Vaseline
Keep stirring every 30 minutes or so through each of the stages. It will be difficult to stir through the taffy stage. Do the best you can. The potato masher will help break the taffy up. Then, just when you think it's never going to finish, it will start to get creamy and move into the Vaseline stage, getting more translucent.Continue to 5 of 10 below.
05 of 10
Test the Liquid Soap Paste for Doneness
Once you've reached the 3 to 4-hour mark and the soap has softened and turned translucent, it's time to test it to see if it's cooked long enough. Take two ounces of boiling water and add one ounce of your soap paste. Stir the soap, breaking it up and helping it dissolve in the water. Once it's completely dissolved (several minutes) check to see how clear it is. If it's just very lightly cloudy, that's ok. The soap will "settle" after it's finished and get even clearer. If the dissolved soap mixture is milky or very cloudy, you've either not cooked it long enough or you've mismeasured something.Continue to 6 of 10 below.
06 of 10
Dilute the Liquid Soap Paste
If the test mixture stays clear as it cools, it's good to continue. The last measure of patience is needed when diluting the paste. Take the remaining 40 oz. of distilled water and bring it to a boil. Add the water to the soap paste. Stir it in a bit with a spoon or the potato masher.
Turn the heat off on the crockpot. Put the lid on and wait.
After an hour or so, stir it some more. It should have softened some by now, but will likely still be very chunky and gooey. Put the lid back on and wait some more.
You can put the lid on and leave it to sit overnight and dissolve. If you prefer a more active role, just keep waiting and stirring, waiting and stirring. The potato masher will help to break up some of the larger chunks of paste, but nothing will help more than just waiting.Continue to 7 of 10 below.
07 of 10
Neutralize the Liquid Soap
In addition to the different alkali, and the cooking of the soap, liquid soap is different from bar soap in the way it is formulated. If you run most recipes through a lye calculator you'll see that there seems to be way too much lye! Indeed, liquid soap recipes are usually formulated with about a 10% lye excess. This is to ensure that all of the oils are saponified.
After the soap paste has completely dissolved in the water, it's time to neutralize the soap and add your fragrance. Turn the crockpot back on and bring the mixture back up to 180 degrees or so.
In a separate container, mix the neutralizing solution. You can make either a 20% boric acid solution or a 33% Borax (20 Mule Team) solution. For the boric acid, take 8 oz. of boiling water and add 2 oz. boric acid. For the Borax, use 3 oz. Borax in 6 oz. of boiling water. It's important to stir very well and make sure that it stays very hot. As this mixture cools, the Borax or boric acid will start to precipitate out of the mixture and it won't mix into your soap!
Add about 3/4 oz. of neutralizer for every pound of soap paste (just the paste, not the added water.) So, for this recipe which has about 2.8 lb. of paste, add 2 oz. (2.13 rounded down to 2) of neutralizer solution. Too much neutralizer (especially the boric acid solution) can cause cloudiness, so it's best to round down and err on the conservative side.
Slowly pour the neutralizer into the re-heated soap mixture and stir well. Add one ounce first and let it sit for a bit. Then add another half ounce. Then, if you still have no cloudiness, add the final half ounce.Continue to 8 of 10 below.
08 of 10
Add Fragrance or Color to the Liquid Soap
After you've neutralized the soap, but while it's still hot, it's time to add your fragrance and color, if desired. A good rule of thumb is to fragrance liquid soaps at about 2 percent to 3 percent. For example with this batch, that's about 3 oz. of fragrance. Add the fragrance to the soap and stir well. Likewise, if you're adding color (remember to take the amber color of the soap base into your coloring), add it a few drops at a time, stirring well.Continue to 9 of 10 below.
09 of 10
Let the Liquid Soap Rest or "Sequester"
Let the soap cool and pour it into large bottles or jars. Put them aside in a cool place and just let it rest. During this resting phase, the insoluble particles should settle to the bottom and any minor cloudiness caused by insoluble particles in the oils or added fragrance oils should clear up. It will need to settle for one week. When you are pouring your soap into their final bottles or tubes, be careful not to disturb the settled solids, or you'll have to let them settle out again.Continue to 10 of 10 below.
10 of 10
Enjoy Your Homemade Liquid Soap
That's it! If you've made it this far, you've entered the world of liquid soap making. There are nearly as many recipes and variations with liquid soaps as there are with bar soaps. Different oils and slightly different techniques will all give a different final product, ranging from a light liquid hand soap to shampoo to a shower gel.

Well it seems as though my last post brought up some people's wishes for downtown, and what they want to happen. So, I thought I would throw it all out there and ask everyone to comment on what their Top 3 wishes for downtown are. They could be anything, from development projects, to culture changes, to new/different laws, etc. Go wild...I want to hear from you.
I'll start with my Top 3 in no particular order:
1. The creation of a transportation hub along 2nd St (as has been proposed). This could be a hub for light rail, streetcar, bus, bike and have tie-ins to the potential high-speed rail system in Ohio and the Midwest. Why is this in my top three...well great urban centers are the center of cultural, economical, political and transportation services (to name a few). Cincinnati fairs quite well in most of these...and is quite honestly the center of transportation services for the region...but it is a sad system of services to say the least. So my wish for downtown is kind of a cop out wish for the entire region (but it's my blog and I can do it).
2. How about an open-container policy for downtown. Now I understand that you need to restrict it someway...so create some sort of open-container district based on the location of the popular bars/clubs downtown. You could even have more than one district...and in those districts vehicular traffic could be closed off. This would give downtown a huge advantage over all of the other bar/club districts in the region and really make it a hot spot for activity after the sun goes down.
3. ZERO parking requirement...yes, you heard me right. No parking requirements. This is obviously a controversial proposal, but it has the potential to pay off big time with massive downtown development. This is one of those rare occasions where I think government is out of its element by mandating parking.
If a business or developer thinks that their project can succeed with less parking, no parking, or more parking then let them make that call. My bet is that people will error on the side of less parking, but if you want to sell condos and market them with 2 spaces then you'll build your two spaces per units...but if you think you can do it with only one space per unit, then go for it. This could potentially lower the upfront costs of many developments that eventually are killed by the costs of parking.
So have at it and let me know what your wishes are, and what you think of my brilliant ideas.
Please take the 2010 UrbanCincy Survey to weigh in on some big changes coming soon!

Clearly, the most obvious thing that downtown needs is a Trader Joes, Whole Foods or Fresh Market type of grocery store. A store such as this would cater to the demographic that downtown is trying to attract.
I have some real problems with the three you came up with. Nothing personal, but let's take a look:
[1]. There's a transportation hub only a few blocks away already - it's called government square. Let's focus on what we *don't* have in walking distance (a substantial grocery). Besides, a little walking will do some serious good for many of this cities overweight citizens.
[2]. Give me a break. Just what downtown needs: more drunk, out of control people. Don't get me wrong: I'm a fan of alcohol. The city has plenty of bars; we need to now take the focus off of "getting drunk" (especially on the street) and see if we can bring people down here for other reasons. For instance, why do I have to cross the river to go enjoy hanging out at a bookstore over a cup of coffee? Brentano's doesn't count. If this city wants to lure intelligent people, it's going to have to provide things like this.
[3]. How many cities do you know where this happens? If there is a reason for people to come downtown, they will pay. (Besides, parking here is unbelievably cheap comapred to other cities.) Downtown Cincinnati has improved ten-fold in the last year that I've lived here, but it still has a LONG way to go. Free parking is not the answer.

@unclerando, @anonymous
I think a grocery downtown is very important. Go into the Rookwood Wild Oats at lunch, and it has a very busy lunch crowd. The downtown lunch crowd should be a bonus to any grocery that wants to open up shop.
I think the region wants a Main St. 2.0. Louisville's "4th street Live!" has a limited open container policy and multiple bars that create an excellent entertainment district. Something similar could be successful here.
If the parking requirements are a barrier to development, then why have them? If people are willing to purchase a condo with limited or no parking, then by all means they should be allowed to do so.

Anonymous #1:
I didn't say to have free parking...I said to remove the government regulations for parking requirements. If you're building a condo development you have to provide X number of spaces per unit or per square footage for retail/office uses. I'm just suggessting that we let the private sector work that one out and not try to play over-controling parent.
Secondly, yes Government Square is a transit hub...but it is not capable of being linked to any future light rail...nor does it have the room to properly accomodate a major streetcar stop. It would have to be broken up from the main station (along 5th) and wrap around onto Main.
PS...it would be nice if names were tied to comments for clarity purposes.
- August 16, 2007 at 9:23 AM
As far as parking... Would it be ridiculous to either erase fees or cut them in half at the Broadway Commons Lot? Its cheap now, but lets be honest, those lots are just open wasteland. until they decide to do something constructive with the land, people should be able to park there for next to nothing... I know, a little off topic, but seriously.

I only have one major wish for downtown, and it's pretty much exactly what you laid out in #1. The only thing I would add is that I hope those of us in KY aren't forgotten when this happens. This region has a tremendous mental divide (and to a lesser extent even NKY has this problem with the Licking River), where people on both sides of the Ohio River tend to write off everyone on the other shore. I really hope that a fully functional transit system can one day connect Downtown Cincinnati with Newport, Covington, the Airport, UC, Xavier, NKU, Union Terminal, etc, but I fear that Cincy will build theirs and/or NKY will build their own and we'll have a less than ideal transit system that doesn't truly connect the major residential and recreational urban areas of this region.
That said, I think if a well thought out rail system were added (even just the streetcars that I hope everyone hasn't forgotten about) it would go a long way towards fixing the problems that downtown has traditionally suffered, as well as making your wish #3 more feasible.

These (and any) ideas are good ones. Not everyone will agree with them, but no one can argue the fact that people discussing this is an overall good thing. I do agree that the grocery access issue is a major problem... can't Kroger open a store in the first level of its tower? They've already got a sign on the building - now they just need some shopping carts. And Freezers. Oh - and those cool self-checkout things.
If I had to pick the one thing that needs to be "fixed" downtown is the Fear Factor. The major complaint I hear about going downtown is that they don't want to be harassed by people begging for money. Say what you will of the situation, but the fact of the matter is that people don't like this & would rather visit places where they don't need to deal with it.

My #1) would be the streetcar, I feel that will be the thing that ties all the other advances Cincinnati has make together.
#2)Once the streetcar is in place it will solve alot of parking issues. People will be able to park outside of the CBD and only be a couple minutes from their office, or once parked move easily all over the city.
w00t, I can't wait, I've been riding the bus and thinking of selling my car. Hmm, what can I do with an extra $350 a month?
#3)The streetcar may eliminate the need for a grocer in the CBD and maybe Findley will explode with residents puring in to buy fresh supplies.
- August 16, 2007 at 10:54 AM
Personally, I think the open container idea is fantastic. I hadn't thought of it. Plus, it will make new bars that cannot have outdoor seating more competititive, and able to hang with places like the Cadillac Ranch.
Streetcars are a must - and I agree that they may at least somewhat alleviate the need for a downtown grocer, though that would spur huge development.
The other thing I think it needs is more green space on the western side of Downtown. The eastern side has Lytle, Friendship, Bicentennial and P&G parks. The western side has Garfield (not really much of a park) and that's it unless I'm missing something. Where are all these people that are to move into the western side (Parker Flats, etc.) supposed to walk dogs, relax, etc.?

^You're right about the western downtown park thing...I think that the surface lot at 4th and Plum would be a great spot. It's right in the heart of that residential hotspot, and would be a perfect size for a little neighborhood park for that part of downtown.

These are really wonkish wishes, but they're genuine.
1. Roundabouts
Roundabouts calm the traffic and save gas. They confuse the stupid, but what else is new?
2. Crosswalk supremacy
In New England motorists are required by rigidly enforced law to stop for pedestrians in a marked crosswalk. The crosswalks are kept sharply striped.
3. Bicycle lanes
Instead of easing the exit of suburbanites from the city, traffic engineering should ease and encourage the use of bicycles by the use of large, clearly marked bicycle lanes.
These are low cost items that would change ways of thinkings about whom the city belongs to and why. Circuits would blow out at City Hall, and that would be a good thing.
- August 16, 2007 at 1:37 PM
Also, in Portland they have some of their streets (SW Morrison is one of these) closed to vehicles to allow their light rail line to cut through the city and connect with their street car line. This creates an avenue that attracts pedestrians, and because one recessed train track is much narrower than a four-lane road adjacent bars & restaurants have expansive outdoor seating areas that would be impossible on other streets in the city. If something like this were done here in conjunction with the streetcar plan that is being discussed, it would allow the streetcars to bypass some traffic and might also make your wish #2 of a walkable open-container district a reality.
- August 16, 2007 at 1:39 PM
"3. Bicycle lanes
Instead of easing the exit of suburbanites from the city, traffic engineering should ease and encourage the use of bicycles by the use of large, clearly marked bicycle lanes."
I'm not crazy about bicycle lanes. I mean, in theory, I support the idea of people leaving cars behind, getting more excercise, helping the environment, etc. But while driving in Chicago and Portland where many people ride bikes in lieu of driving cars, I've found that bicyclists are notorious for running stop signs & traffic lights, as well as ignoring the boundaries of their lanes. I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea, but having more bikes on the street isn't something I'm yearning for either.

"1. Roundabouts

I too love roundabouts, and think that they are great traffic calming tools...however it would be extremely difficult to use them downtown. They require more space than a typical 4-way stop, and would therefore require buildings to be wrecked and/or modified.
Maybe a nice one or two of them could be worked out near gateways into the downtown area (Central Parkway & Central Ave)...but it would be a stretch even there. Interesting thought though.
- August 16, 2007 at 2:56 PM
1. I think having that a Wal Mart would be great for downtown. Everyone could then live and shop for everything they need downtown. I was at Court Street recently and I think they could tear down alot of those old buildings and build a cool WalMart on top of a parking garage and that would be really cool.
2. If we could get another jail downtown that would be cool too. that would get rid of all the bad people and it would be great to fill in a parking lot with something good for the city.
3. I think that Hard Rock Cafe should go there to because it would bring people from all over the place and they would come from Indy and Dayton and Columbus, and Lexington to go the best restaurant in the world. Maybe we can even have a planet hollywood...that would be neat.

besides what has already been hashed out, i think downtown could take control of the entertainment development for the region by doing one simple thing: make a downtown district where bars can stay open until 4am. what bar would want to open anywhere else? it would be an easy way to create a dense entertainment district.

I really would like to see the streetcar get up to Clifton and across the river. I also would like to see light rail (subway or at grade dedicated right-of-way), but I am too old and don't know if I will live long enough to see that happen.
Other than that, I just want to see lots and lots of people, including families living in Downtown/OTR.

Norway Massacre: Anders Breivik Reenacts Shooting For Police
Breivik returns to Utoya island, demonstrates how he shot teen campers.
Aug. 15, 2011 -- New video shows Anders Behring Breivik, who has confessed to killing nearly 70 teen campers on an island near Oslo, reenacting the mass shooting for Norwegian police.
Breivik returned to the crime scene on the bucolic island of Utoya over the weekend and retraced his steps while restrained by a leash attached to a body harness and wearing a bulletproof vest. During an eight-hour tour, a dozen police officers followed him as he disembarked from a ferry and then walked the same route he took on July 22, the day of the shooting.
Breivik can be seen in the video raising his arms to show police how he fired at the campers as they tried to escape, shooting some of them in the water as they tried to swim to the mainland. Sixty-nine people died in the Utoya shooting, with another eight killed by a bombing in Oslo earlier the same day.
Prosecutor Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby said Breivik was allowed to walk and talk with little interruption in order to jog his memory and yield as much information as possible.
"We were able to [jog] his memory with regard to what happened out there," said the prosecutor. He also said Breivik "was not unmoved" by his return to the crime scene, but did not show remorse.
This weekend, it was also revealed that three teens had tried to stop Breivik's shooting spree by throwing stones at him. Breivik shot and killed one of the boys, but the other two escaped.
Breivik Faces 21 Years in Prison
Breivik, 32, faces 21 years in prison with the possibility of permanent detention for the shooting at the Labor Party summer camp and the bombing of the Prime Minister's office in Oslo. He has admitted both acts.
In a 1,500-page manifesto apparently published by Breivik hours before the attack, Breivik claims to be just one warrior in a widespread crusade against Muslim immigration and integration in Norwegian and European society that will take 60 years to complete. The meticulous manifesto detailed Breivik's years-long preparations for the attack and presents an academic-style argument against what he called multicultural Marxism and Islamic colonization. In it, he says being arrested is all part of the plan. "Your arrest will mark the initiation of the propaganda phase," Breivik writes. "Your trial offers you a stage to the world."
Breivik also mentions a plan to escape prison and execute a "bonus operation."
He has also made two series of demands since his arrest, one group that his lawyer calls practical and the other more bizarre. He has asked for cigarettes and clothes, but also to be made the commander of the Norwegian military and to wear a uniform when he appears in court. He has demanded the complete overthrow of Norwegian and European societies, starting with the resignation of the Norwegian government. When the societies are rebuilt, Breivik said, he wants to play a key role.

New figures show there are now 12 schools in the Taupo Community of Learning | Kāhui Ako.
"The fact that we have so many schools working together is great news for our young people," says MP for Taupo Louise Upston.
The figures show that two more local schools – Wairakei School and Whakamaru School - have joined the Taupo Communities of Learning, bringing the total number to 12, covering more than 4500 children and young people.
"I'm delighted that more of our students are benefiting from teachers working together to share best practice and raise achievement across the whole community.
"It's also good news that more young children will be better supported as they progress from early learning into primary and then secondary education within one community."
Nationally there are now 197 Kāhui Ako, covering 1630 schools, 184 early learning services and four tertiary. More than 540,000 young people are benefiting from the collaborative model and 1100 teachers and principals have been appointed to new positions in Communities of Learning.
"Kāhui Ako are no longer just the way of the future for New Zealand education, but the reality of how our schools and providers are operating.
"Through sharing data, resources and expert teachers to focus on tackling their achievement challenges, this model of collaboration is supporting educators to ensure all students have the best opportunity to achieve all that they're capable of."

2019 Prices
Large Share: $550 (feeds about 4 people)
Small Share: $325 (feeds about 2 people)
Harvest Bounty Box: $40 (additional option to be added to one of the above shares)
As previous and potential sharers of the CMU Farm, you should know that our pricing reflects various realities – the total dollar value of produce per share from previous seasons; the costs of growing and maintaining heritage variety vegetables; the labour realities of a small farm in an urban centre; and the desire to build a financial structure that creates sustainability by allowing us to pay our full time farmers something closer to a living wage than we have been able to in years previous.
With all of that in mind, we hope you'll consider us for your vegetable needs this summer. We would love to grow for you!

player: yes
Myra: Okay, great! You see, I need a few magical ingredients which I've run out of. First of all, please bring me 70 bat wings. ...
Myra: Then, I urgently need a lot of red cloth. I think 20 pieces should suffice. ...
Myra: Oh, and also, I could use a whole load of ape fur. Please bring me 40 pieces. ...
Myra: After that, um, let me think... I'd like to have some holy orchids. Or no, many holy orchids, to be safe. Like 35. ...
Myra: Then, 10 spools of spider silk yarn, 60 lizard scales and 40 red dragon scales. ...
Myra: I know I'm forgetting something.. wait... ah yes, 15 ounces of magic sulphur and 30 ounces of vampire dust. ...
Myra: That's it already! Easy task, isn't it? I'm sure you could get all of that within a short time. ...
Myra: Did you understand everything I told you and are willing to handle this task?
player: yes
Myra: Fine! Let's start with the 70 bat wings. I really feel uncomfortable out there in the jungle.

Myra: Were you able to retrieve 40 pieces of ape fur?
player: Yes
Myra: Nice job, player. You see, I'm testing a new depilation cream. I guess if it works on ape fur it's good quality. Next, please bring me 35 holy orchids.
player: holy orchids
Myra: Did you convince the elves to give you 35 holy orchids?
player: yes

player: spider silk yarn
Myra: Oh, did you bring 10 spools of spider silk yarn for me?
player: yes
Myra: I appreciate it. My pet doggie manages to bite through all sorts of leashes, which is why he is always gone. I'm sure this strong yarn will keep him. Now, go for the 60 lizard scales!

- 20 Ankhs
- 1 Soul Stone
- Go to Dark Cathedral, then, go down 2 floors and after that, you have to press 6 levers. After that, jump on the teleport. To find Angelina, go north as much as you can then go east. Talk to her and then head back to Thais, speak to Lynda once you arrived there.

Player: Hi
Angelina: The gods must be praised that I am finally saved. I do not have many worldly possessions, but please accept a small reward, do you?
Player: Yes
Angelina: I will tell you a small secret now. My friend Lynda in Thais can create a blessed wand. Greet her from me, maybe she will aid you.

Player: Angelina
Lynda: Angelina had been imprisoned? My, these are horrible news, but I am so glad to hear that she is safe now. ...
Lynda: I will happily carry out her wish and reward you, but I fear I need some important ingredients for my blessing spell first....
Lynda: Will you gather them for me?
Player: Yes
Lynda: Thank you, I promise that your efforts won't be in vain! Listen closely now: First, I need a sample of five druid rods and five sorcerer wands. ...

Lynda: ... a wand of decay, a wand of cosmic energy and a wand of inferno. Please bring them all at once so that their energy will be balanced. ... Lynda: Secondly, I need 10 ounces of magic sulphur. It can absorb the elemental energy of all the wands and rods and bind it to something else. ...
Lynda: Next, I will need a soul stone. These can be used as a vessel for energy, evil as well as good. They are rarely used nowaday though. ...
Lynda: Lastly, I need a lot of holy energy. I can extract it from ankhs, but only a small amount each time. I will need about 20 ankhs. ...

Lynda: Am I sensing enough holy energy from ankhs here?
Player: Yes
Lynda: The ingredients for the ritual are complete! I will start to prepare your blessed wand, but I have to medidate first. Please come back later to hear how the ritual went.
Player: Ritual
Lynda: Please let me focus for a while, Player.
3 hours later
Player: Ritual

CALA Homes (North) has donated £700 to Sunrise Partnership which will pay for 20 one-to-one and group counselling sessions for local children and young people who have experienced loss.
The charity was one of 11 organisations which has received a share of the housebuilder's £10,000 community bursary.
Sunrise Partnership offers free, confidential support to youngsters who are affected by loss and bereavement. The sum will enable the charity to secure 20 sessions so they are available for children to discuss their grief in a supportive environment.
Eileen Wheeler, Manager at Sunrise Partnership, said: "Our one-to-one and group sessions encourage children and young people to cope with the impact of the loss in a healthy and positive way. We help them develop coping strategies which they can use now and in the future.
"As the demand on our services increases, donations are vital in order for us to continue carrying out our work and to ensure more children have access to our sessions."
Joy Riddel, Sales Advisor for CALA Homes (North), welcomed Eileen to CALA's sales suite at Oldfold Village to hear more about the work of the charity.
She said: "Eileen gave some inspirational examples of children and young people who have benefitted from bereavement counselling.
"Many attendees start attending school more regularly, have better concentration and start going out with friends again on completion of the sessions.
"This is a vital service that is a huge support to so many of our local children who are having to come to terms with losing someone important to them. We are very proud to contribute to the continued running of the sessions."
Other successful community bursary applicants include 17th Aberdeen Scout Group, Seaton Community Church,
Pitscurry Day Service, SensationALL, GCRA Ltd, Community Food Initiatives North East, Alzheimer Scotland, Aberdeen Riding Club, CHAS, and Aberdeen Science Centre.

AAFP Statement: Family Physicians Congratulate President Obama
Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Statement Attributable to:
Ted Epperly, M.D.
American Academy of Family Physicians
The American Academy of Family Physicians congratulates President Barack Obama on his historic inauguration and applauds his commitment to resolving the challenges that face Americans as they seek affordable, high-quality health care.
President Obama already has demonstrated his understanding of the multiple difficulties our nation faces in providing financial and geographic access to health care, training a physician workforce that will meet the primary health care needs of Americans, and implementing an infrastructure that will rein in costs and improve quality of care.
Family physicians and the AAFP are committed to working with President Obama and the outstanding team of health policy experts and administrators he has assembled to meet this challenge.
# # #
Founded in 1947, the American Academy of Family Physicians represents 134,600 physicians and medical students nationwide, and it is the only medical society devoted solely to primary care.
Family physicians conduct approximately one in five of the total medical office visits in the United States per year – more than any other specialty. Family physicians provide comprehensive, evidence-based, and cost-effective care dedicated to improving the health of patients, families and communities. Family medicine's cornerstone is an ongoing and personal patient-physician relationship where the family physician serves as the hub of each patient's integrated care team. More Americans depend on family physicians than on any other medical specialty.
To learn more about the AAFP and family medicine, visit www.aafp.org/media. Follow us on Twitter,(twitter.com) and like us on Facebook. For information about health care, health conditions and wellness, visit the AAFP's award-winning consumer website, www.familydoctor.org(familydoctor.org).

What Is Physical Damage Coverage?
FREE Car Insurance Comparison
Compare quotes from the top car insurance companies and save!
Secured with SHA-256 Encryption
UPDATED: Mar 13, 2020
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right coverage choices.
We strive to help you make confident insurance decisions. Comparison shopping should be easy. We partner with top insurance providers. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
When purchasing auto insurance, "physical damage coverage" can be purchased in addition to a liability-only insurance policy.
The term "full coverage" is used to describe a personal auto policy that includes both physical damage coverage and liability coverage.
There are two main types of physical damage coverage available on an insurance policy:
• Collision insurance
• Comprehensive car insurance (sometimes referred to as "Comp" or "OTC", Other Than Collision)
Physical Damage Coverage Protects YOUR Vehicle
Both of the above are intended to cover any damage to YOUR vehicle.
It's important to recognize which of these types of insurance you have on your policy to better understand your coverage.
Each type only pays for specific causes of damage to your vehicle, and both can be purchased separately.
Adding or removing either of these types of coverage could result in raising or lowering your insurance rates.
As a general rule of thumb, the more coverage you have, the more your insurance will cost.
Physical Damage Coverage Examples
"Collision Insurance": Jenny has collision insurance on her new car.
If Jenny backs her car into a cement pole in a gas station parking lot, her collision coverage will pay for the damage to her vehicle because her accident falls under the definition of "collision" in her insurance policy.
"Comprehensive Car Insurance": Colin's car is stolen from the driveway of his home.
The insurance company will pay for Colin's car to be replaced as a result of having comprehensive coverage in his insurance policy.
In this example, the car was not damaged by way of a collision (running into an object, or rolling over as a result of loss of control while driving), so collision coverage alone wouldn't be sufficient to replace Colin's car.
Comprehensive or "Other-than-collision coverage" also covers the following:
• Fire
• Theft
• Riot
• Hail, water, or flooding
• Explosion (including earthquake)
• Vandalism
• Windstorm
• Damage resulting from a bird or another type of animal
• Breakage of glass – Please note, if broken glass is a result of a collision, be sure to claim it that way to avoid paying two deductibles
• Missiles or falling objects – not missiles in the military sense, those are specifically excluded under "acts of war."
Physical Damage Coverage May Be Mandatory If You Have a Lease or Loan
In most cases, you cannot obtain a vehicle without physical damage coverage if you are borrowing the money to buy a car (lease or loan).
The company that lent you the money for the car is listed on your policy as a Loss Payee, meaning if the car is damaged beyond repair, your insurance company will pay the lender the remaining balance of the loan on the vehicle so you are not responsible for it.
Even if your car is completely paid off, it's a good idea to get both collision and comprehensive coverage if you want to be certain your car is repaired or replaced in the event it is damaged or stolen (assuming you can afford it).
One final note. Towing and Labor Costs coverage, if not already included in your physical damage coverage, can be purchased for your personal auto policy.
This coverage would apply to your covered auto or a non-owned auto you may be driving.
Typically, you purchase this coverage for a predetermined amount per occurrence, somewhere between $25.00 and $75.00. Y
ou may also purchase coverage for aftermarket stereo equipment, which isn't normally covered, for an additional fee.
