If you have calluses on your hands, chances are you have been working hard at something. The same is true if you've become a callous person. The only question here is, "Is it a project worth continuing?"
What has your heart become hardened to? What calluses has your persona developed to prevent you from feeling?
Calluses are protections that at one time may have been necessary to keep you from being harmed. That harmful environment may have long passed, but we work at keeping our calluses in place to keep our feelings at arm's length.
The callus is a border between us and our feelings. What are you afraid to feel? It's the cause of your callus.
A self improvement guru may encourage you to face your fears but doesn't provide a strategy. They won't talk you out of your fears no matter how motivational the speech. What you rarely hear is, you can feel your way out of fear and allow your callousness to dissipate.
Feeling your fear is a reality strategy. Avoiding the feeling is an illusionary, cerebral event that has you deny what's present, and continue working hard adding to the size of your callus.
Your mind can jump in a nanosecond to the past or the future and easily deny what's going on now. Your body is always in the present. Your body is anchored in reality.
When you allow yourself to sense the fear you are feeling, then and only then are you presented with a workable strategy to open a door to peace.
Take the fear out of your head by noticing it in your body. Give attention to the knock in the engine instead of to the idea of how cool you will look behind the wheel, and you will begin the process of feeling your way to peace. Don't talk about how bad the knock is – feel it!
It may shake the whole car but to pretend it isn't there by steeling yourself against the reality, hardens you.
Look at people who are stiff. There's a reason people refer to them as callous. They are insulated from their own feelings.
If you want to soften your calluses, reconnect with your body, and you'll make life less hard for yourself.
All the best,

Poorly Piggies
Those two lovely sows are one of the most neglected Guinea Pigs we ever got left in our care but they are fighters, eating well, almost too well as they chomp down everything I put in front of them, double portions. They do suffer from mange mite infestation and fungal infection, the lighter coloured Piggy shows signs of scurvy and they both are seriously undernourished. I estimate their full recovery to last at least two months, that is when they will start looking healthy again. Hopefully I'll see first signs of improvement with their skins within a week, once mange mites are gone and fungal infection is under control it should be fairly straightforward but they have a lot of coat to grow, as seen on few pictures it's thinned out badly. I'll take pictures every few days to show their recovery, they won't be up for adoption for good few months though, if ever.
The pair of Piggies on the pigtures are Ginger & Bread. They were reserved 2 weeks ago due to be picked up today in the evening but as I haven't had a confirmation from the person who wanted to adopt them it looks like they will be available again. They got their bath today anyway and now they are grazing outside in a small pen :)
Naveen & Nandu
Profile page for Naveen and Nandu is now ready, they are the first pair of 12 recently surrendered Piggies available for adoption. Yesterday they had a bath, trim and nail clipping done and few photos were taken, pity they don't show how truly beautiful this pair is. They have to be seen in flesh to be fully appreciated. We are looking for a permanent pet home for them. Please click on the picture to open their profile page with lots more pictures, information about adoption rules and how to contact us or just send us an e-mail email@example.com and make an appointment to see and adopt them :)
New arrivals in Piggy Kingdom
Just a gallery of pictures of the 13 new Piggies in Piggy Kingdom, they all arrived on Saturday the 7th of September, 12 of them from an ex breeder and one from a pet home, all in good health, soon some of them will be offered for adoption.
STEVE & Alan
Meet Alan & Steve, two very chunky, well cared for boars but very skittish. Elderly couple brought him in as they couldn't take care of them any longer, they made an over an hour journey to get to Piggy Kingdom and we decided to keep them simply because my son has fallen in love with them so they will join his Ship of Pirate Piggies!
PEACHES & LILLY, new pictures
Lots of new PIGtures of Peaches and Lilly (click on the picture to open their profile page), a lovely pair of short haired sows available for adoption. They came in September 2012, required a bit of attention due to scurvy (caused by lack of vit c in their diet), now they are ready for their new loving pet home, indoor much preferred. Who'd like to adopt them?
Four days into January and we have 4 new rescue Piggies and 1 Bunny. The rabbit will be photographed tomorrow, pictures of the Pigs below.
If you can, please donate any amount that suits you, we don't want to say no to any Guinea Pig or Rabbit that needs to be taken in, whatever is the reason, in this case the owners couldn't cope with 2 pairs of boars who fell out with each other and the Bunny who was squashing their Netherland Dwarf pet rabbit, on top of that one job was lost in the family and pet budget had to be minimized. Quite often Piggy Kingdom is the last resort, tomorrow we'll have 3 more Piggies coming in. We want to be able to say 'yes, we can accept them' next time sm asks. Please donate!
Heracles, he came in the same cage with Herbert, the silver agouti chinchilla marked boar but they definitely don't get on with each other at all and should have been separated ages ago. Heracles has a developing bumblefoot, looks like an injury caused by the boys fighting, he was treated for it with few drops of tea tree oil mixed in with olive oil. All of them were treated for parasites as a precaution anyway, though Heracles needs a full treatment, he's also mildly infested.
Herbert, silver agouti chinchilla marked boar with longer hair on his bum. He's worse off out of the 4 'H' boys. He was in the same cage with Heracles, the Teddy boar, and got bitten by him severely... Large scab on his ear, numerous fresh scabs on his back, around his mouth, runny nose, he's the thinnest of them all and has worse mange mite infestation. I'm glad they all are in Piggy Kingdom now!
Helmut, he's very skittish but that could be caused by mange mites (flaky skin and small scratch scabs on his back) and most probably fungal infection on his nose. He didn't get on with Heliodor and they are separated. It looks like he has a bit of roaning on him otherwise he's just a black and white very handsome Pig.
Heliodor, lovely boy, he's got a white marking on his head otherwise it's a very strange colour, golden, sort of...some of his coat is agouti colour with dark tips and in places golden looks more like very dark buff and there is no clear distinction between agouti and the rest, so no patches, it's all mixed in. He's very unique!
Meet Kaito & Chiyo, two lovely young boars, they came in just today! I was informed they are around 6 months old now so still young boars. They are lovely and healthy boys and it will be very difficult to let them go, I may keep them just for a while to enjoy their company. When time comes for them to go to a loving pet home, only an indoor household will be considered for those to boys. They lived indoors since they were purchased at a garden centre at a very young age of around 8 weeks, now they are inside as well while staying in Piggy Kingdom. I will observe them for few weeks to see how they get on, they are bonded together but seem to have a bit of a power struggle, maybe because of the new environment and kids fussing around them, right now they are munching their pellets and shredding newspaper with which I lined their cage. Not much else to say, lovely, happy boys!
We've got 7 new Guinea Pigs and 2 Bunnies, all came in within last week...
Those three boys came in on Saturday the 8th, they were a result of irresponsible pet shop owner from Welshpool who sold 2 very young pregnant sows to unsuspecting people who just wanted a pair of pet Guinea Pigs to take care of and they ended up with 3 more little boys they couldn't keep. I was informed there were more pups born but not all survived, mums were only 2 months old when they were purchased, way to early to have pups, they are still youngsters at that age and need to grow their own bodies not produce a next generation! Conclusion is simple, never buy sows from pet shops, pet shop owners cannot and will not guarantee them not being pregnant, some of them are backyard breeders themselves, keeping boar in with the sow without break risking young baby sows to be mated at very early age.
Boys are called P, Q, R, P&Q will be available for adoption in January 2013, R is being paired up with an older boar and both will be available for adoption in February 2013 if all goes well.
Those two sows came in on the 9th of December 2012, their cage was awfully dirty and required scrubbing down thoroughly, thankfully apart from being quite jumpy they seem to be ok, only a bit thin. They need more time to settle in and become more friendly, they are hard to catch at the moment.
What a ridiculous reason to give those two boys up! They are...gays!!! Even worse vet couldn't help them, maybe some therapy for them then? Nah, I think they can be what they want here in Piggy Kingdom. Those two have not been regularly treated for parasites, himi boy (the white one) has few nasty scabs, the black boy is less affected. Guinea Pigs are prey animals and they will hide pain and illnesses even if they suffer a lot and mange mites cause them a lot of pain and itchiness as they burrow under the skin, scabs appear from scratching. When it gets really bad they could even die from the shock, it really drives them crazy. Those two are very jumpy and on the edge, we'll see how they behave when mites don't bother them any longer. They should be available for adoption at the end of February 2013 once their coat grows back.
This is Lobster, he came in on Saturday the 8th of December together with another Bunny, both had horribly overgrown nails, Lobster is very touchy, one can't pick him up without him kicking around like mad. He will have to be neutered before we can offer him to a new pet home and we need help with the vet bill for that. Please donate if you can. Please have a look at our HOW CAN YOU HELP page to see what we need on regular basis.
This Bunny came in with the one above, we called him Jupiter, he's a neutered male, the boys don't get on well at all and they need to be kept separately, until Lobster is neutered, if they still won't get on they will be rehomed separately.
To see nails so badly overgrown is very depressing, it's quick and easy to cut nails plus they never grow that long if animals are allowed to run free not just get stuck in cages or hutches. Please remember to provide a bit more, not just basic care, they need a full bowl, place to live AND your time, attention, love. Live animals are not stuffed toys that can be left in the corner and nothing happens to them, they depend on their owner entirely and they deserve to have better quality of life than that. Overgrown nails may not seem so bad to people but Bunnies and Guinea Pigs walk on all their paws, when their nails are long or curled up simply every step hurts. It's not acceptable to leave them suffer unnecessary like that.
Barry, new arrival in Piggy Kingdom
Barry was brought in on Sunday the 18th of November, he's an older boar, at least 4 years old. He lost his companion and the owners didn't want to continue getting Guinea Pigs and though it was unfair of Barry to be alone. Due to age and impaction problem he'll remain in Piggy Kingdom for the rest of his life, he also has few scabs on his back which look like mange mite problem rather than chronic skin illness as it was described to me. He's been treated for parasites with bimectin and I apply tea tree cream to his sore skin three times a day. In no time he should be as good as new.

You can spray and then leave it- or you can wipe it around just to spread it about. You don't want to spray it IN the food...but it is non-toxic so won't hurt anything. I recommend taking everything out- spraying down the pantry, wait overnite or several hours and then replace most items after you have carefully inspected them for evidence of pantry moth infestation.

First of all, I am so sorry that you are dealing with these miserable pests. In regard to your questions about open packages and what things to throw out, there is no easy answer. In my experience, you have to go through each thing individually (new or already opened) to determine if it has been affected. There are many unopened items that the moth larvae can get into- so carefully inspect not only the open packages of food, but also the stored unopened items as well. Look for stuck together food particles, webbing, tiny cocoons, and moth larvae. Think outside the box- like underneath canned-goods labels, and even in the grooves of screw-top lids on spice bottles, etc. Anything that you are unsure of, if feasible, (like canned goods and new spices...) wash in hot soapy water. Other items can be stored in the freezer for a week or so to make sure that they are not affected. The moths are crafty little beasts and can worm their way into many unimaginable places. The more thorough you are in the first round of purging, the less likely you will have to do it all again later. Good luck!

What impression are we giving of Puerto de la Cruz?
I've received fan mail! No, maybe not of the 'we love you Brian' kind, but then to be honest I welcome any kind of reaction, even negative, because it just goes to prove that someone out there is actually reading what I write.
What is even better is that the writer of this fan mail has strong feelings and opinions of his own about what is happening in Puerto, and on a topic of which I have barely scratched the surface. So much so, I have decided to dedicate this month's column to the subject and because he probably puts the message across better than I could I have included his letter in full. You can read it in a moment, but first, of course, I have to my ten pennies worth.
By way of an introduction, his concerns are centred on the state of and the upkeep of the town's garden areas and the management of the town's trees and palms.
Firstly, what I will say is that he has chosen to comment at what is probably the worst time of the year for the gardens. However, I have to agree that this year they are particularly poor and that the displays of summer bedding plants planted months ago have been eked out so they can be replaced with the plaque of the poinsettias, everyone's favourite Christmas plant.
Secondly, he refers to the pruning back of the trees and palms; a practise which I have to say I am always amazed by. No, I don't mean by skills involved, they will never win awards for topiary, but by the very fact that most trees, not all, seem to recover from the drastic cuts. Pruning appears to me, to be carried out purely for economic reasons, with scant regard for aesthetics or for the welfare of the plant, cut it back hard and they won't need to return for a couple of years. I don't know why, but 'slash and burn' keeps coming to mind.
A final word from me, have you ever noticed how on these pedestrian makeovers they plant mature palms so close to the buildings that once all the photos have been taken the hatchet men come along and remove most of the fronds. Not so in calle Quintana, much smaller specimens have been planted, but again that is probably due to economics rather than a change in policy.
That's it, I've said my piece, so here as promised is the letter. I particularly like the last line and no, before you ask, I didn't write it myself, it is a genuine, bona-fide, reader's letter in its entirety.
"Hello Sr. Eldridge,
I enjoy your column, and lately I have been so angered by this Puerto government and how it maintains the town that I have taking photos to show some of what is going on but had no idea what to do with them or who to tell, but I thought perhaps you might be interested, and maybe you have thought the same thing.
I go to Santa Cruz and the city seems to be, overall, so well maintained, trees looking good – like trees should look, flowers planted and cared for, and grass mowed and green, but then you come to Puerto de la Cruz and see the opposite. How can someone get the job of overseeing the town's lawns, gardens and trees without any seeming knowledge or interest in how to care for them all. And even more mind boggling is how can someone who is destroying the trees and not caring for the public garden spaces keep the job?! I would have been fired from any job I have had in my working life had I been as incompetent, not to mention how much these acts of environmental vandalism are costing us, the rate payers who live here.
I notice how the flowers, such as they are, and where
they even exist, are mostly sprangly, weed-filled or dead from lack of care. The grass is unmowed and they have been wasting money and time going around the town for months cutting trees and bushes back to stumps, killing many of them. They don't simply prune trees that might have become a bit overgrown or with some dead wood in their canopy, as one would expect – no, they butcher them and hack them back to stumps!
Some three years ago they made C/ Hoya into a pedestrian street and lined it with full-grown Queen Palms but this government's tree and gardens person has had them cut to an inch of their lives, killing several of these expensive to replace trees and creating a street without shade for the hottest part of the year, not to mention just how ugly these palms look. Instead of a full head of swaying, shade-giving fronds, they have been hacked back to just two, maybe three, and palms cannot stand that kind of butchering. It will cause, at the least, a constriction in the trunk and at worst, the death of the tree, which you can see in the photos. At least four of five have already died. They cut the magnificent and very costly Royal Palms along the recently redone C/ Mequinez so they don't look very Royal now, but fortunately they didn't hack them too far, I don't think, but they certainly don't look as full and beautiful as they shood be, and they give little shade.
In La Paz, on C/ Aceviño, there is a row of what once were beautiful trees with those lovely golden flowers but they have hacked ten of them back to stumps and killed all but two of them, and those two only have been able to put out a "bush" of sorts at the top – certainly nothing resembling a tree. How much did those trees cost and how much will it be to replace them, IF they replace them at all And those once magnificent Flamboyantes on the pedestrian walkway, C/ Quintana, near Plaza Charco (in front of the Columbus pastry shop and cafeteria), that were once something that always made me feel happy just seeing their delicate beauty, they hacked those back to stumps just before the heat so there was no soft shade from them and they look horrible. They look like they are going to survive, but how long will it be before they are beautiful trees again? Years!
And also on C/ Quintana, there is the Hispanic Centre where they have been putting in the new, dirty grey paving stones and they destroyed and removed the long planter box with the big tropical vines that looked so beautiful. Now there is nothing but the dirty grey pavement and an ugly red tube with some pipes in it to look at. What are they thinking? Removing that planter with the tropical vines was unnecessary and only added to the cost of the project without improving the looks of the street one iota.
On C/ San Juan, that they have butchered some Queen Palms to the extent that they have only two sickly fronds and look like they may not survive. Imagine coming here as a tourist and seeing these sickly and butchered trees, instead of swaying, beautiful palms of the imaginings. Another photo is of the stairway at the end of C/ Iriarte that is awful now. At least they have pulled most of the weeds by now, but it used to have flowers and was pretty well kept. No more.
And the streets are not being cleaned as well as should be.
The best this town has looked in years was when we had those few months with the Lady Mayor, after the previous Mayor passed away. He had presided over a poorly kept town as well with the streets and pavements looking dirty and public gardens and plantings unkempt and shabby. But within a short time after the Lady Mayor took office, after his death, the town began to look so much better – cleaner, and flowers appeared. I didn't notice any trees being hacked back to stumps or killed then. But, alas, she was replaced in the last election by another male mayor.
Under the previous male mayor, when the town was looking so poorly maintained, I had three friends visit from Valencia for a couple of weeks. They had been here before several times and had liked Puerto, but they told me after the last visit that the town looked so poorly maintained and run-down that they wouldn't come back again. I wonder how many others have decided the same. This town lives on tourists. It is nice to have a second Carneval etc. but if the town doesn't look cared for what kind of impression will the visitors carry away with them, let alone those who live here.
I hope you might mention these things in one of your columns. You mentioned once you sometimes had a hard time thinking of things to write about.
Keep up the good work. Your columns are very entertaining, and really hit the mark."
There you have it, a man after my own heart and a shared hate of grey concrete slabs.
I think the writer should remain anonymous, let's call him 'Disgruntled of Puerto'. My reason for this is twofold, for one, in places he is very critical, for the other, I'll save him from the embarrassment of admitting that he reads my column, and far worse that he finds it entertaining.
Finally, because this is a bit of an epic, still he had a lot to get of his chest, but 'sprangly' will definitely be my new word for plants that as well past their sell by date. Unless, that is the paper,s spell-check edits out the word, which if it does would mean you haven't a clue what I'm talking about.
P.S. I wonder what I can get him to write about next month. The great escape.

When kids create a fab artistic picture, parents love making sure they're given prime place around the house, its a fun way to show off their talents, but why not transform them into something even more delightful – like say a rug?
Sure, parents can stick their children's paintings on the fridge or even frame them, but now they can turn their latest artistic efforts into a long lasting, home decor memento thanks to Little P.
The Australian company, who ship their made-to-order products all over the world, have created a process called Little Creator that can immortalize their latest masterpieces into soft and comfortable rugs.
How the idea started?
The concept was born out of Little P founder Philippa Briscombe and her desire to do something more with her then 4-year old son's paintings. Briscombe transferred those works onto plastic plates but always felt there was something more that could be done with them.
The designer eventually came up with the idea to create stylish, keepsake rugs and started Little P.
The idea is not only a fantastic way to treasure your children's art, but is the perfect gift for grandparents or friends, and allows art to take centre stage on a larger scale.
How it works
The process is simple and easy to follow.
Take one of your kids amazing drawings, paintings or collages. Scan the artwork online at Little P and once the image is uploaded you will be able to select a size, shape and where the art will feature on the rug.
The artwork is printed onto a carpet-like fabric made from polyamide, which is then used to penetrate through the whole carpet to create the fab one-of-a-kind rug.
As well as having a similar look and feel to a hand-tufted rug the printed rugs are hypoallergenic and have the benefits of zero percent shedding. The carpets are finished by hand and are easy to maintain.
If you do not have any children and want to use your own artwork Little P welcomes all designs and can use any artwork to create their rugs.
The rugs come in various colours and three sizes, a circle which is priced at £63, rectangle priced at £32 and a multidimensional custom rug is priced at £104.

The Best Ways to Ask Someone to Homecoming

October 26, 2017
For most schools around the United States, Homecoming is an exciting time in the school year. However, this tradition seems to be lost at Tam. The dance is even being moved to a Friday night this year to compensate for a rap festival in the city that is taking place the same weekend. There are many th...

FULLERTON, CALIF. — Vic Law scored 19 points and Dererk Pardon added 15 — without missing a shot from the field — as Northwestern beat Utah 79-57 Sunday in the Wooden Legacy's fifth-place game.
Four players scored in double figures for Northwestern (5-1), which added a victory against a Pac-12 team to its resume.
The Wildcats made 10 3-pointers, including the first career 3 by senior Pardon.
Pardon was accurate all tournament as he made 12 of his 14 shots. He didn't miss any of his four shots against La Salle on Friday and was 5-for-5 shooting against Utah. He was just 4 for 7 from the free-throw line Sunday, however.
Utah (3-3) lost its first-round game to Hawaii, then lost to Grand Canyon on Friday. The Utes played sloppy basketball and had 21 turnovers against Northwestern.
Sedrick Barefield led Utah with 15 points, hitting 3 of 4 from 3-point range.

We spent the morning organising my final few days and working out when I could get home. I'm pleased to say that, barring any further issues, I will be cycling back into Wokingham on Friday 1st June! It's an odd feeling as I'm so happy and proud of myself for actually being able to complete this challenge, but at the same time it's been so fantastic that I don't want it to end!
The roads were quiet today (maybe something to do with everyone's bank holiday celebrations the night before) and for the first few miles we saw more cyclists than cars. A group of three riders passed us heading towards Battlesbridge and slowed down for a chat. I told them about my journey and we discussed riding in general – it was great to meet such nice people and for me the interaction and ability to spread awareness was enough. So when we finished for the day and I checked my Justgiving page I was shocked to see a generous donation from Martyn sitting there – thank you so much!
Nadjie, the local breeze champion who we rode with yesterday, had put us in contact with another lady who was excited to ride with us today. Sue is another breeze champion for the area and we met her in Battlesbridge – she has been following my journey and keeping up with the blog posts since day 1 so she was very exited to meet me, as I was her! It was getting warmer by the minute so we quickly got going along the picturesque country lanes.
Sue was a terrific rider and very confident riding alongside me so we just chatted and chatted all morning. Sue had planned to ride a couple of hours with us before heading back and by 10:30am we had made it all the way to Southend on Sea – further than Sue had expected to get. I think warm weather and good company makes me faster! We stopped for breakfast at one of Southend's many, many cafes and to our delight we lucked out and chose a great venue right on the sea front with views of the pier – the longest in the world at 2160 meters!
We cycled another 500m down the promenade together for a photo op in front of the beach before saying our goodbyes to Sue. Thank you for joining me this morning it was so lovely to have your company.
We continued east along the segregated cycle path, occasionally having to put on the breaks as oblivious pedestrians stepped out into the path without looking! Coming towards us was a man on a hand cycle who turned out to be Jonathan Walters – a bit of a celebrity in the disability sport world – so it was a pleasure to meet him. We chatted for a while about touring and riding before continuing on and up the hill out of Southend.
Our next stop would be Canvey Island on the Thames estuary. This was a very built up place and definitely geared towards tourism – and it was especially busy as it was a sunny Bank Holiday Monday. We rode along the front and on a short section of the gravel path on the sea wall before stopping to get sugar doughnuts and a drink. It was quite a juxtaposition to the majority of my trip and I think there was probably more people in this one place than I saw in the whole of my time in Scotland!
I was intending to ride to Tilbury and get the ferry over to Kent at the end of today, however the ferry doesn't run on bank holidays! Therefore I would be camping in Orsett which is five miles away from Tilbury and crossing early tomorrow morning. Danny cycled with me to the campsite before riding another 20 miles back to Chelmsford to pick up his car (much easier and quicker than trying to get the train). He drove back to me and we had dinner at a local pub before saying goodbye. It wasn't difficult this time as I knew I'd be seeing him again at the end of the week!
I've posted my schedule to the Facebook page so please take a look at that if you are interested as to where I will be for this final week. For those of you who don't use Facebook, here it is:
Tuesday 29th May- Orsett, across the Thames (Tilbury Ferry) to Herne Bay/ Birchington
Wednesday 30th May – Herne Bay/ Birchington to Rye
Thursday 31st May – Rye to Brighton (approx finish time 5pm)
Friday 1st June – Brighton to The Two Poplars Pub Wokingham, finish time approx 5pm, I will have dinner there and stay around for a few hours please come down after work and have some drinks.
If you would like to join me on the final leg into Wokingham, you can find me at the Manor Farm Tea room, Wood Lane, Seale, GU10 1HR at 2:30pm. We can have a cup of tea, and cycle the last 20 miles! I've got route files for some Wokingham loops of varying distances so please ask.

2018 Kia Optima vs Mazda 6
We are currently updating our monthly offers. Please check back shortly for updates.
In the meantime, here are some links that you might find helpful:
The Optima didn't just change how people see the Kia brand back in 2011 when it was so radically redesigned; it changed how many of us looked at the midsize sedan segment as a whole. Now, some serious and impressive rivals are out there to challenge the 2018 Optima, so let's put one of them to the test by comparing the new Kia Optima with the Mazda 6.
2018 Kia Optima vs Mazda 6
Some of us would say there was no need for Kia to restyle the Optima for the 2016 model year–it was just that good. But they did, and they did it well. The front fascia has seen the most significant change, but the rest of the car is sleek and similar to the previous Optima, which is a genuine compliment.
The Mazda 6 is a bit of a puzzle. Critics love a lot of things about it, including the way it looks, but buyers haven't quite caught on to the magic. This is a beautiful-looking car that probably deserves more attention, with an aerodynamic shape and aggressive front grille.
Engines & Performance
Buyers have a number of engine options with the Optima, but the choice is limited to four cylinders. The options are the standard unit is a 185 horsepower 2.4-liter, an economy focused 1.6 turbo offering 178 horsepower, and a 2.0-liter turbo that boasts 245 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2.0-liter is the most fun, but the very good standard engine will be more than adequate for most buyers.
Mazda adopts a take-it or leave-it approach to engines with just one unit across all versions of the Mazda 6. The engine is question is very similar to the base unit in the Optima, a 2.5-liter inline-four that puts out 184 horsepower. The Mazda drives and handles better than that amount of horsepower might suggest, but this is still a solid win for the Kia.
If you've not sat inside a Kia for a while, you might be surprised by what you find inside the cabin of the latest Optima. The interior is roomy and well-appointed, with upscale finishes that leave you in no doubt about the direction of travel of Kia as a brand. All trims are quiet and comfortable, and the top SX trim really is like a luxury model.
The Mazda 6 also has a roomy and comfortable interior, with more leg room in the rear than the Kia and quite a bit less in the front. When it was originally launched, the interior of the Mazda was nothing to shout about, but it has been improved considerably over time. Nevertheless, the 6 still falls short of the Optima, especially at lower trim levels.
Fuel Economy
The 1.6-liter versions of the Optima are the most fuel-efficient, rated by the EPA at 28 mpg in the city, 37 mpg on the highway and 31 mpg combined. Even the 2.0-liter is rated at 22/31/25 mpg, which is still impressive.
Buyers might lack choice when it comes to engine options for the Mazda 6, but the single engine that is available is one of the most efficient in its class. EPA ratings come in at 26 mpg in the city, 38 mpg on the highway and 29 mpg combined. Those numbers deliver a solid victory for the Mazda.
Learn More about the Kia Optima
The Mazda 6 would likely beat out any other midsize sedan, but Kia isn't just any other car manufacturer. The 2018 Kia Optima doesn't just look fantastic; it's actually as good as it looks. And when you look this good, that really is something to shout about.

We're well and truly into Summer and where are all those beautiful sunny days that this season promises? As I write this, I'm looking out at torrential rain. So, it was definitely wishful thinking that propelled me into this week's playlist on THE SUN.
We opened the show with a song that radiates optimism, the Beatles GOOD DAY SUNSHINE, written by Paul McCartney and released on the 1966 album Revolver. A relatively new track comes from Michael Franti. I dedicated THE SOUND OF SUNSHINE to the lovely Suzie M. and her grandchildren, Reem & Aliyah who are huge Michael Franti fans.
Local lad Christian Pyle did a great job at the recent Mullumbimby Music Festival and although I played RAY OF YOUR SUNSHINE during my interview with him a couple of weeks ago, it such a great number I had to play it again. It's from his Nothing Left to Burn album.
The Cream's SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE is an absolute classic and is still their best-selling song of all time. Here's Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce playing live circa 1968.
Beth Orton does a brilliant cover of The Ronettes I WISH I NEVER SAW THE SUNSHINE. I found it on the soundtrack to the film Twentyfourseven (brilliant film btw), but its also on her 1996 debut album 'Trailer Park'. Here she performs live and is accompanied by the very talented Ted Barnes.
The wonderful Katie Noonan possibly does the best cover ever of Soundgarden's BLACK HOLE SUN that I have ever heard. I usually don't like to play videos that are simply photo montages, but I can't give up the opportunity of putting her voice out there. Sublime.
There was no way I was doing a show on THE SUN without playing Stevie Wonder's YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE. Here he is giving a rare studio concert at London's Teddington Studios following the release of his 'Conversation Peace' album. A sensual ride for an intimate audience of less than 200 fans. You get the bonus of SUPERSTITION on this clip too, which I have to admit is actually my favourite Stevie Wonder number.
Bobby Hebb's SUNNY is another very optimistic song, considering that it was written in response to his brother's violent death which occurred on the same day of JFK's assassination.
Two great songs that were released in 1966 are Donovan's SUNSHINE SUPERMAN and The Kinks' SUNNY AFTERNOON. The Kink's strong Music Hall flavour and lyrical focus was part of a stylistic departure for the band, who had risen to fame in 1964-65 with a series of hard-driving, power-chord rock hits. Ironically, the promotional video for the single featured the band performing in a cold, snowy environment:
Nina Simone's cover of George Harrison's HERE COMES THE SUN is an almost religious experience. Starting slowly at first it builds to a flood of warmth and wonder. Unlike the weather here at the moment, unfortunately.
For Ros, and all the other reggae fans, we played Bob Marley's SUN IS SHINING and followed with the Bill Withers standard – a perfectly apt song for Byron Bay at the moment: AIN'T NO SUNSHINE.
Let's don't get too despondent about the weather. As Elaine Page suggests "the sun will come out TOMORROW". From the musical Annie that song went out to BayFM's Tommy T-Jet who hosts All Things Camp Friday's at 1pm.
The Eagles song TEQUILA SUNRISE was written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey and is from the album Desperado. I've been meaning to do a show just on The Eagles and its certainly on the agenda.
A show on THE SUN wouldn't be the same if it didn't include the Beach Boys. I had lots of suggestions for various tunes but I chose the very evocative THE WARMTH OF THE SUN. It was the B-side to Dance, Dance, Dance released in 1964.
Violent Femmes released their debut album in 1982. The music was an innovative combination of American folk music and punk rock, which would much later come to be known as "folk punk". The lyrics were the common themes of yearning for love, sex and affection. The group quickly gained a following that never veered into mainstream commercialism. One of the songs that gained recognition was A BLISTER IN THE SUN.
2010 is the 25th anniversary of the very infectious WALKING ON SUNSHINE released by Katrina and the Waves. Can you believe it?
I don't think the The Beloved were getting up with the birds to see the SUN RISING. Somehow I imagine they were on their way home from a big night out.
Australian band The Waifs recorded their 2007 album SUN DIRT WATER in Nashville and it was released on Jarrah Records, a fully independent label they share with John Butler Trio and MGM Distribution.
A couple of oldies but goodies come in the shape of THE SUN AIN'T GONNA SHINE ANYMORE from The Walker Brothers and DON'T LET THE SUN CATCH YOU CRYING from Gerry & The Pacemakers.
A while back I put together a show of songs that ask questions. And here's a couple more: The Velvet Underground want to know WHO LOVES THE SUN and They Might Be Giants ask WHY DOES THE SUN SHINE?
The Spazzys is an all girl punk band from Melbourne who are heavily influenced by the Ramones. They've even taken their band's name as their surname – Kat Spazzy, Lucy Spazzy and Ally Spazzy. Cool. The song SUNSHINE DRIVE is on their Aloha! Go Bananas album released in 2004 but my copy came from the soundtrack of the very good Australian film Suburban Mayhem.
One of The Kinks best known and most acclaimed songs is WATERLOO SUNSET. Ray Davies says, in a 2008 interview, that the song was a fantasy about his sister going off with her boyfriend and emigrating to another country.
Little Village were a supergroup who only released one album. Band members included Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, Nick Lowe and Jim Keitner. Sung by John Hiatt, the track SOLAR SEX PANEL certainly suggests a good use for the sun's rays!
We closed the show with Pink Floyds's very trippy SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN.
Next week, I'm going to celebrate the Xmas Party season with SONGS ABOUT DRINKING. I'm looking for everything from rowdy singalongs to barfly melancholia and guilty hangover confessionals. That should cover everything! It will be the day after the BayFM Xmas party, so I should be suitably hungover!

Next week: SONGS ABOUT DRINKING
Memories can haunt us, no matter how much we want to escape them. There are false memories, conflicting memories of the same event and memories that clash with the reality of the present. Thanks to mass media, memory isn't something that only belongs to us as individuals. When we see scenes at the cinema or television or on DVDs over and over again, they become part of our collective memory. Even if you've never seen the film King Kong you know that there's a scene where a big gorilla climbs up the Empire State Building with a human girl in his hand. And whenever a comedy show or film features a scene where someone is killed or threatened in a shower most people understand it's a parody of Psycho. So mass media, film and television in particular, have contributed hugely to a memory that we share with millions of other people.
Unfortunately, we remember melancholy and pleasure in equal measure. The concept of looking back in hindsight is also a bit complicated. It's easy to write off youthful idealism as simply being naïve as Stevie Wonder did in our opening number YESTERME, YESTERYOU, YESTERDAY. According to Stevie it was all "a cruel and foolish game we used to play". Well that's how he remembers it anyway.
And talking of cruel, I can't imagine anything worse than getting Alzheimer's disease and Elvis Costello's song VERONICA is all about that. It tells the story of an old lady who lives in a nursing home and is gradually losing her memory. It was inspired by Costello's grandmother.
The Ramones want to know DO YOU REMEMBER ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO? Has it ever gone away?
Collecting objects that remind us of old times should bring back good memories, but that's not always the case as Soft Cell tell it in MEMORABILIA. Sarah Vaughan would rather experience something that didn't work out than never do anything at all in I'D RATHER HAVE A MEMORY THAN A DREAM. The real classic of this triple play, however, was the Shangri-Las with their ode to a lost love affair: REMEMBER (WALKIN IN THE SAND). Here's a great clip from the excellent "Songmakers Collection" DVD, with interviews with Mary Weiss and writer producer George 'Shadow' Morton about this track and their other hit, LEADER OF THE PACK.
Jurassic 5 dug deep into their memory banks for REMEMBER HIS NAME. As did Fall Out Boy for THNKS FR TH MMRS . The Zutons, REMEMBER ME is about those kind of friends who seem to forget you once they are entrenched in a romantic relationship. Don't you just hate that!
THOSE WERE THE DAYS is from Cream's 1968 album Wheels of Fire. The album cover was designed by Australian artist Martin Sharpe and it won the the New York Art Directors Prize for best album cover in 1969. The sound on the album was characterised by a hybrid of blues, hard rock and psychdelic rock, combined with Eric Clapton's blues guitar, Ginger Baker's jazz-influenced drumming and the basslines and voice of Jack Bruce.
One of the most beautiful voices I've heard belongs to Sarah McLachlan. And one of my favourite songs of hers is one that I first heard on the soundtrack to the film The Brothers McMullen. It's called I WILL REMEMBER YOU.
Otis Redding's name is synonymous with the term 'soul' and we had to include his classic with I'VE GOT DREAMS TO REMEMBER. Redding died at the very early age of 26 but his memory is kept alive with the Youth Educational Dream Foundation and a very good website. Go to: http://www.otisredding.com/
British group Bloc Party look back regretfully on an opportunity for love that wasn't realised in I STILL REMEMBER:
The Kinks wonder what ever happened to their childhood friend in DO YOU REMEMBER WALTER? It's from their album The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society.
The Supremes reflected on the good and bad memories of a love that used to be in REFLECTIONS while Jimi Hendrix had only good memories of a past love, (he even wants her back!), in REMEMBER.
Relationships that survive depend partly on shared memories, but those memories need constant topping up. Indie rockers, Yo La Tengo document this well in OUR WAY TO FALL.
There was a fair bit of nostalgia in this week's show, (well what did you expect?) and one of my faves was The Platters with REMEMBER WHEN. Also fitting the bill was Elvis Presley who seems somewhat confused in I FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO FORGET.
Memories, daydreams, disconnected thoughts – they fill our minds in a never-ending rush. Our next song, THE WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND, evoked this beautifully, conveying the incredible weirdness of our thought processes. If you're after nostalgia then what about Noel Harrison with the original version of the song that served the film The Thomas Crown Affair so well.
Ok back to recent memories. Jack Johnson wonders DO YOU REMEMBER? and P.M. Dawn are SET ADRIFT ON A MEMORY. Thanks to Lynden for suggesting that one and several others on our list today.
One of my favourite films deals with amnesia. Memento, starring Guy Pearce, and directed by Christopher Nolan, is a fascinating story about someone who can't store new memories. A song about about the subject is I DON'T REMEMBER by Peter Gabriel.
Bob Dylan's memory song is a love ballad from the Empire Burlesque album: I'LL REMEMBER YOU. And if its nostalgia that you're after, consider MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS from Dean Martin. An oldie but a goodie, as they say.
I'll never forget Michael Jackson with REMEMBER THE TIME from the Dangerous album. Another sad memory for me is Freddy Mercury singing THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES which many think was the song he dedicated to his fellow Queen members when he knew that he was dying.
Back to the 70's and some Aussie based punk rock: remember The Saints and MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS?
We closed the show with a cover of a song that I swore I wouldn't play this week, but this version is so sweet it had to make the cut: The Waifs with a little help from Clare Bowditch. They're singing Frank Ifields I REMEMBER YOU.
This week's theme on MEMORY segues nicely into next week's topic. My computer crashed last week and I had to invest in a drive with a lot more memory to cope with all the songs that I collect for these shows. So next week its MACHINES, ROBOTS AND COMPUTERS. No Television or Radio songs please because you know they are a whole theme to themselves. and no modes of transport, for the same reason. But any other gadget or gizmo is up for grabs.
Here's this week's complete playlist. All songs available on iTunes.

GARY Neville joined Sven-Goran Eriksson in wishing that Ryan Giggs was English as he faced up to the challenge of marking his Manchester United team-mate at Old Trafford this weekend.
Eriksson has revealed that Giggs is the one British player he would most have liked to include in an ideal England team.
And he has warned his players to beware the "frightening" pace of both Giggs and Craig Bellamy in Saturday's World Cup qualifier.
Eriksson added: "Giggs is a great player. If it was possible for him to become English, I would say he was very welcome."
The debate over Giggs' nationality is an old, and often misunderstood, one.
Having played nine times for the England schoolboy team - including captaining the side against the Welsh in Swansea - he seemed to be the one that got away.
However, Giggs only ever represented England schoolboys as his school was in England and there was never any question in the winger's own mind as to his nationality.
Not that it has stopped Neville wishing that Giggs had been English and he knows that he could be in for a torrid time.
"When he gets the ball, you have to stay on your feet and not dive in," added the Reds defender.
"He's a fantastic player, one of the best that Manchester United have had. With that fantastic ability, he seems to have been going on forever."
Who win the wing battle on Saturday: Neville or Giggs? have your say

Camberwell Grammar is a high-achieving independent school for boys. With a stunning median ATAR of over 91, the school sits among the best in the state for academic performance. Camberwell also provides great music, arts, and sports programs for students throughout their schooling. The school traces its tradition back to 1886, but remains cutting-edge, taking advantage of the latest technologies in the classroom.
DIB Australia has been honoured to work with Camberwell Grammer for many years across a variety of projects. This latest installation involved upgrading the school's library presentation space. After a site visit and revisions from a DIB consultant, a complete audio visual solution was provided for the school.
An EPSON EB-1985WU projector system was installed. Boasting a high resolution and ultra sharp image, this modern projector is perfect for any presentation space. These features provide for a fantastic viewing experience, with colours three times brighter than leading competitive projectors. The EPSON school projector was mounted so that it displayed onto an existing white wall in the library. This ensured a clean result that felt integrated into the library space. A powerful Yamaha MA2030 amplifier was installed to deliver amazing sound quality through a set of 4 ceiling speakers. The amplifier itself was located out of the way in the ceiling space above the system.
As a part of the audio visual solution, the DIB team installed an Apple TV box. Apple TV gives presenters an easy way to display content wirelessly onto the projector from any Apple device. Connection of non-iOS laptops was also facilitated with the addition of HDMI and VGA inputs. This variety of inputs ensure that any presenter using any device can connect to the projector system.
For controlling the system, DIB supplied and installed the popular Joey Micro simplified wall control panel. This makes setting up and operating the school projector easy for presenters with all the essential functions clearly labelled on the control panel.
For assistance with your custom audio visual requirements, contact a DIB Audio Visual Solutions Consultant today. Phone (03) 9457-4800 or contact us.

Hey, if you're going to pig out. PIG OUT. Look at that beautiful thing. I just wanna cry looking at it. Its so BIG and pretty. I don't wanna eat it…wait, what am I saying: I DEFINITELY WANNA EAT THIS. We got cheesy fries, that were sadly forgotten (to take a pic of) because we greedily dug into our burger!!!! All yours for $120. If the Double Double is too….aggressive, they also have a Single D Burger at $80, Fish Burgers…and lots and lots of fries. The cheesy fries are $38. But they all have the loaded fries. Need to get that the next time!
And its making my new list: of The Best Burgers in HK! I've gone to a few of the newer ones that have been sprouting faster than you can say Double, Double and was just fairly disappointed…sadly was disappointed by their competitors: Burger Circus, but thats in another post…

Fueled up by challenges to dream big for the family
Several times did Christian almost gave up on his dreams of a college education. However, a few months from now, he'll be on stage to finally receive the symbol of the attainment of his dream—a college diploma.
Early on his life, 23-year-old Christian Luansing, a resident of Brgy. Bukal in Taysan, Batangas Province, had known the financial challenges of his family. Being the second in a brood of 14, he describes their life as "isang kahig, isang tuka."
He relates that his mother gives birth to a child almost every year, so he understood that he needed to be the elder brother that he is. His father provides for their big family just through making barbecue sticks.
To not become a burden and still be in school, he decided to work as a helper in a store in the town proper when he was in Grade 6.
"Ginawa ko ito hanggang sa makatapos ako ng high school. Kahit marami akong hindi magandang karanasan sa pagtatrabaho, tiniis ko para makatapos ako," shared Christian, whose dream became blurry once again when their eldest sibling decided to marry at a young age, instead of helping the family.
So when he graduated in high school, he definitely knew that college was impossible.
Getting the determination
"Sumubok akong mag-apply sa mga pabrika at sa mga fast food chains pero hindi ako pinalad na matanggap. Nahirapan akong makipagsabayan sa mga kalaban kong kahit papaano ay nakatuntong man lang sa kolehiyo," he shared.
This gave Christian a challenge. He told himself that no matter what it takes, he'll get himself to college. He went to Manila to be a helper in a store of a relative so that he can earn enough for his college education.
One thing unexpected happened, however, that changed the course of his life.
"Kung gusto mo daw pumasok ng college sabi ng taga munisipyo," he recalled getting a call from his mother while he was busy in the store.
In his excitement, he went home to the province and submitted all the requirements.
Since their family is a beneficiary of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, Christian qualified to be a grantee of the Expanded Student Grants-in-Aid Program for Poverty Alleviation (ESGPPA). This is a program of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) that aims to help at least one member of a Pantawid Pamilya household to finish college and get better-paying jobs in the future.
"Huwag ka nang pumasok, mahihirapan ka lang. Wag ka nang umasa sa scholarship na 'yan at wala naman kaming pangtustos sa'yo. Mag-apply ka na lang sa pabrika para ma-regular ka," he recalled his father telling him that time.
"Hindi ko alam kung magagalit ako sa kanya o hindi dahil imbes na palakasin ang loob ko ay kabaliktaran pa ang ginawa nila. Pero nag-enroll pa rin ako sa kursong BS Business Administration," shared Christian.
The ESGPPA has supported his tuition, book allowance and even his daily allowance in Batangas State University. However, he admits that he still experienced problems financially.
"Minsan, kapag nasa school ako, wala ako sa sarili ko dahil naiisip ko ang sitwasyon namin sa bahay. Nagkasakit ang pangalawa sa nakababata kong kapatid kasabay ng pagsilang ng ika-13 kong kapatid. Nahihiya akong humingi ng pamasahe dahil alam kong pambili na nila ng bigas 'yon," he recalled.
At that instance, he again thought of forgetting about his dreams and take the advice of his father. But another experience fueled his desire to go on.
"Namatay 'yung may sakit kong kapatid dahil hindi namin kayang dalhin sa ospital kaya umasa kami sa albularyo. Habang papunta kami sa ospital noong kinukumbulsyon na s'ya, pinangako ko sa kanya na magtatapos ako para hindi na kami maging isang pamilya na kahit 'yung pagpapagamot lang kapag may sakit ay hindi namin magawa," shared Christian, who still cannot control his tears when remembering this incident.
From then, he knew that he needed to finish his studies not only for his own sake but for his other siblings.
Surviving college
While his education is being supported by the ESGPPA, he still applied as a crew trainer in one of the fast food chains in their municipality to help his family.
Though he is a working student, he never forgets his priorities. He makes sure that he gets good grades. He is even the vice president of their Department in the university and a leader among other ESGPPA grantees in the school.
He is also glad that his parents have become supportive not only of his college education but also of educating the rest of his siblings. In fact, eight of them are in school now.
Christian cannot hide how great he is to the government for supporting his family, especially his college education and changing the views of his parents through the monthly Family Development Sessions.
"Hindi lang po pera ang naitulong ninyo sa amin, kundi ang aming magandang kinabukasan," he shared gratefully.
He animatedly shares how he and his mother are excited about his graduation this June.
"Kapag napagkukwentuhan namin ni Mama, kami ay kinikilig dahil worth it ang lahat ng aming paghihirap. Hindi namin lubos maisip na sa dami naming magkakapatid ay makapagpapatapos ng isa sa kolehiyo," he said.
With his graduation, Christian is more confident now.
"Ngayon ay mas may pag-asa na po akong makatulong sa pamilya ko. Napakahalaga po nito para sa amin," shared Christian, who hopes that his story will inspire other beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilya to strive despite their financial situation.#

Mama's Retail Therapy.
Wednesday, August 5, 2015
Today is the first day of school here in Georgia. Yes,it's only August 5th but we get out at the end of June so we go back earlier than everyone else in the country, too. To be honest, it's a bittersweet time because, of course, I love having my dude home with me during the summer and we can do as we please whenever we want but I also hear a lot of "Do we really need to go to Target today?" Target is interchangeable with everywhere else I want to go. Add that with a lot of huffing and puffing, eye rolling and mumbling b/c he doesn't want to go anywhere & summer gets boring. Fast. So I am happy to have my eight hours a day back to do whatever I want, especially if it involves leaving the house-which is exactly what I did today.
I took my 7th grader to school, but not before I snapped a few pics.
That was as good as it got but he was cooperative for those. Beggers really can't be choosers.
After I took him to school I decided it was time for me to enjoy my first day of freedom by shopping so I made my way to Marshall's because hello! Cute clothes, cheap Essie nail polishes and tons of other cute things! If I had all the money I would've bought the entire store. Okay, not the entire store but a lot of it. Here is what I bought though.
Two comfy, basic tee shirts and two pretty new nail polishes. I've been on the look out lately for basic tee shirts that aren't super clingy. I found these two that are amazing. And of course I can never say no to a nail polish, especially when they're on the cheap. Essie polishes are /2 price @ Marshall's so I forsee myself buying lots and lots more.
I'm always on the look out for basic tees so where do you shop for them?

I had no idea that Georgia did that!ReplyDelete
Wow that's really early but glad you got some you time, and can now go to Target anytime you want!! I love shopping at TJ Maxx and Marshalls.ReplyDelete
Marshall's is the BEST! I love going to their clearance decor aisle! So much great stuff for just a few bucks! Can't beat that :)ReplyDelete
Good finds at Marshalls! Love the polishes :)ReplyDelete

Teeswater Town Hall sign now
Keep the Teeswater Town Hall alive!
As of June 1, 2017, Council made the decision that a temporary closure at the Town Hall will be necessary to address the fire code violations.
The final amount that is required to update the Town Hall has yet to be disclosed, however, estimates are steep and will likely require a large fundraising campaign as the community willl have to come up with the funds to support the project.
Some members of council do not see the historic Town Hall as an economically viable building. This puts our Town Hall at risk of being closed for an extended length of time.
Please share this petition with your friends to increase awareness about the Teeswater Town Hall and show your support towards keeping the hall open and operating.
Thank you!

Take in the stunning beauty of Bermuda with our snorkel, sun and sail shore excursion with the best crew in Bermuda. This is a great option for cruises docking at Kings Wharf.

The scene will be set for your snorkel later with examples of the marine life you will see later during your snorkel. We will offer you complimentary bottled water, orange juice, pineapple juice and our famous hot home-baked cookies that are prepared fresh on board daily. We will also give you a safety chat just before we start our snorkel fun at the shallow cove.

Part of your trip's proceeds go toward cancer research, with contributions being made to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the Bermuda Cancer and Health Center. This really is a great choice for your shore excursions from Kings Wharf pier.

J's Korean Cuisine:Chicken and Bibimbap Restaurant Review
Looking for a taste of delicious Korean food with a modern twist? The perfect place to achieve this is J's Korean Cuisine: Chicken and Bibimbap. At this diverse restaurant, traditional Korean dishes are served with a touch of other countries signature dishes.
How did J's Korean Cuisine: Chicken and Bibimbap start? Originally, founding members of J's Korean Cuisine: Chicken and Bibimbap Restaurant, were apart of the aviation industry. Owners James, Jason, and Jessica had the chance to see many different cultures and countries all over the world and decided to start their very own restaurant. They were able to create unique Korean fusion foods.
Luckily for people in Southern California, the restaurant is local! J's Korean Cuisine: Chicken and Bibimbap Restaurant is located in Downtown Fullerton, off West Commonwealth Avenue. The restaurant is closed on Mondays but is open from 5 pm to 12 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 5 pm to 2 am on Thursdays, 11:30m am to 3 am on Fridays, 11:30 am to 3:oo am on Saturdays, and last but not least 11:30 am to 10 pm on Sundays.
At J's Korean Cuisine: Chicken and Bibimbap, there is a variety of food. First off, there is a wide selection of Korean Chicken. With the Korean Chicken, one can get a combination of 20 pieces of the soy garlic wings, sweet chili wings, habanero wings, plain wings, or order of just one specific wing. Since the wings come with about 10 pieces in every order, the price of each set of wings is about $22.
One famous food known in South Korea is bibimbap. Bibimbap is a bowl of rice accompanied with meat and a variety of vegetables. At J's Cuisine, there are five different types of bibimbap. The deluxe bibimbap, bulgogi bibimbap, shrimp tempura bibimbap, tofu bibimbap, and veggie bibimbap. Each bibimbap has the price range from $12-$17.
Like said before, owners of J's Cuisine wanted to make their restaurant diverse with a touch of every country in their foods. For this reason, there's tacos and burritos with Korean food inside them! The burrito at J's Cuisine is known as "The B.B.". Inside this large burrito, there is a variety of vegetables, rice, and bulgogi all wrapped in a burrito. There are three types as tacos called "K-pop Tacos". They are K-pop bulgogi tacos, kimchi bulgogi tacos, and shrimp tacos. Tacos cost about $10 and the burrito costs $13.
Overall, J's Cuisine: Chicken and Bibimbap is a great restaurant showing different cultures put into traditional Korean dishes. The restaurant is known for its unique food items that are very mouth-watering. Not only is the food delicious, but people that work there are also very polite and nice.

It has been a hell of a long summer for me this year. I had some health issues that laid me up pretty good these last six months so as a result, I did very little since my last post and the little that I did do, I didn't feel much like posting about it. Thankful, I'm up and at it again, feeling better than I have felt in a couple years so I hope to be making a lot of sawdust over the winter months to catch up on things. I still have to go through a couple of more procedures, but they will be like a walk in the park compared to what I have been through.
So without further adieu...
This, of course, is the portable vise I have been writing about for the past 10 months or so. I did finally get it all together and actually used it in ernest for the first time today. I can't believe the difference it makes - it is astonishing. It is surprising how little torque I have to give the handle to secure the board. When I first set up the ¾" x 2" x 22" hunk of oak you see pictured above, I tightened things up what I thought was needed and when I hit it with the plane, I realized that the centre of the board had bowed up off the vise. I backed the thread off 1½ turns and tried it again, expecting the board to shoot off the table but no, it held its position and suddenly hand-demensioning a board became a hell of a lot easier.
Some of the final steps I took with the vise was chamfering all the holes to reduce splitting when they were under stress, adding a sliding cover to the storage area at the back of the vise, scrapping the whole thing with a card scrapper and then coating the whole thing with a couple of coats of wax. Because it is so damned heavy, I also added a carrying handle on the right side, some of which can be seen in the close-up shot below.
While this thing was far more work than I thought it would be, its performance under use is way beyond my expectations.
