Art in Oberon was yesterday and the colour thing keeps on unravelling with new insights happening like lightbulb moments. We are currently copying a painting by Matisse and I am sure he would be thrilled. We had to trace the simple painting of a woman with black hair and a red coat of some description onto a sheet of paper and then paint it. Each colour had to be mixed to match his colours and it was more difficult than we at first thought to do this with the simple hues of the primary colours and black and white or grey. The first thing I did was put the carbon paper in upside down!!! Imagine my surprise when I found the reverse of the tracing on the page I was tracing from instead of my clean white sheet. Me, who cut my teeth on carbon paper (so to speak) had put it in upside down!!! Well, perhaps that was fortuitous because when I finished that tracing I realised - because no one of us had had the foresight to bring sticky tape to the class - that the photocopy I was tracing over had moved quite a bit sideways and Madame Matissse (or Madame Matisse's stand-in - again so to speak) would have looked as though she was falling off her chair. However, the then fairly rough and ready tracing was done and I launched into the colours by making my next mistake by adding an eensy weensy touch of green (which rules intensity) instead of black or grey which would give me value. They say you learn from your mistakes and like Billy Joel, I usually learn from making them twice. Can't think of the particular song where he says that but it has always stuck in my mind along with copious quantities of other trivia which, unfortunately, never seems to help with trivial pursuit. Obviously they don't ask the right questions. I have answers in this brain to questions that have never even been thought of yet.
This artcourse keeps my mind full for the time being. The use of colour has possibilities that are limitless like the colour wheels that we do. They are amazing and produce such wonderful hues just from the three primaries - maybe a few different primary colours of course - and black and white. The colour wheels are beautiful and I would like to hang them up where I could just gaze at them and lose myself in their magic.
It is good to have my mind full of colour as it then lessens the impact of other things like watching a doco on Gore Vidal on Sunday night. It was brilliant. He was brilliant but he said something in his old age that has haunted me since hearing it. He had run for the Senate in America at the same time as John Kennedy ran for President and it showed a lot of the campaigning and of course we know the outcome but he sat in his chair as an old man he said "We were naive enough to think we could make a difference". How sad is that? I felt suddenly bereft. If they couldn't make a difference who could? What is the point of our lives if their lives, these brilliant people, are basically worth nothing in the big picture, the big scheme of things? We have been told often enough, that you just do what you can in your own little sphere. I do believe that if you make a difference in even one person's life then that is a little bit of difference that must help the world. If we all do that, difference must be achieved. How many of us remember people who made a positive difference in our lives, someone who made a difference, perhaps a teacher? Someone we can never forget. But for people like Gore Vidal to not make a big difference, how can that be?
Right at the end he was asked what sort of legacy he would like to leave the world and after a slight pause he enunciated slowly, clearly and quietly "I don't care".
It is cold this morning, that is why I am sitting here doing this instead of doing something important like washing up. The watery sun is trying to appear but it hasn't got enough oomph to beat the clouds. They started off just scattered around and it looked like it could be a reasonable day but they have now gathered forces and are winning the battle. It is cold enough to have had to drag my one pair of corduroy trousers out and put them on. This is difficult because the two top buttons are missing. They popped off. They are those stupid stud things that when they are gone, leave a hole right where you would put a button if you were inclined to put buttons on. Not that I am that way inclined. Because I am egg-shaped the buttons keep coming off anyway so I put a belt on and it works just as well. My daughter would be scandalised that I would be so slack but as she is definitely not egg-shaped, she would not fully understand the problem.
I remember being scandalised when I inherited a beautiful black taffeta petticoat (we wore beautiful petticoats in those days) from my mother who I thought at the time was perfect. I later grew up and discovered no one was perfect and why should we be? However, on the matter of this particular garment, she had - following the varying hemlines and fashions of the day - taken it up. That, in itself was alright but she had used white cotton. I could hardly believe it. How things change. Now I am wearing buttonless cords with a belt. It does have a zip!!!
Will try and get my Matisse painting finished and a bit of other homework also and then, feeling virtuous, might launch into some brilliant piece of work. Then again, I could just rest on the virtuous feeling and read a book. This is my day and it stretches before me untouched and beautiful no matter what the weather. Tuesday is my day to do as I please. It is like Sundays used to be for the farm labourers years ago when it was the only day they had off. My grandmother in law in Bourke used to tell me about the old man who lived next door to them and who they had known for many years. On Sunday he would get up extra early so that he could have a really long day off. I used to think that was funny because in those days we got up early all the time and Sunday was a day to sleep in (when children were old enough to sleep in) and then have a long, slow brunch, read the papers and generally lounge around. Now I have changed my mind and am enjoying the long day off. Sundays are still beautiful days when we try to read and still generally have brunch. Anyway, this is my day and lo and behold, the sun is coming out just at the right time. It has won the battle.

With humble steps to a limitless future, women can multitask every aspect of their lives without compromising on love, attention and warmth.
We remember our heroines who took to the streets on August 9th 1956 . They have fought for our safety, equality, respect and many pressing issues which women had to fight for on a daily basis. They have been hurt but never want to hurt others. The women of South Africa marched peacefully in silence before breaking into a protest song that was composed for the occasion, 'Wathint'Abafazi Wathint'imbokodo! (Now you have touched the women, you have struck a rock.)'
At Hirsch's Homestores, we never compromise on spoils for our leading ladies. We have made life a lot easier for you by compiling the perfect gifts list for the women in YOUR life this Women's Day!

Unfortunately for him, there are two other deadly opportunists who know about the buried fortune, and they're all willing to kill to be the man who walks away with the money. Angel Eyes, a cold-blooded killer, and Tuco, a bandit on the run. The three outlaws get caught in a deadly game that could kill them all.

Self-efficacy is increasingly recognised as an important outcome of care as it enables patients to better participate in their treatment and manage their health conditions and symptoms. However, patients receiving treatment on an outpatient basis may not get an opportunity to discuss their feelings and how they are coping with their diagnosis or treatment. Little is known about variation in self-efficacy among people living with cancer and receiving services from outpatient cancer clinics.
To assess the variation in self-efficacy among patients attending outpatient cancer services and identify social and demographic factors associated with increased self-efficacy scores.
The 2015 Outpatient Cancer Clinics Survey (OCCS) collected the experiences of more than 3,700 respondents from 25 hospitals across New South Wales. The survey included the Communication and Attitudinal Self-Efficacy scale for cancer (CASE-Cancer) tool. The CASE-Cancer is comprised of 12 questions, which can also be used to construct three reporting subscales – maintaining a positive attitude, understanding and participating in care, and seeking and obtaining information. These self-efficacy measures were analyzed by socio-demographic variables and whether the respondent was undergoing treatment for cancer at the time of completing the survey. Analysis took into account the complex survey design.
Respondents reported the best CASE-Cancer score for 'seeking and obtaining information' and the worst score for 'maintaining a positive attitude' subscale. Patients in an active phase of cancer treatment had lower self-efficacy scores for all three subscales of the CASE-Cancer and the effect was greatest for the 'maintaining a positive attitude' subscale. This subscale also had the greatest variation at LHD-level, ranging from 6.7 to 8.5 on a scale of 10. Respondents who were Aboriginal, non-English speakers or lived in major cities had poorer self-efficacy scores, while the effects of age, education and disadvantage on how people responded differed across the self-efficacy subscales.
This study provides unique insight into self-reported psychosocial aspects of care of cancer patients consulting in outpatient clinics, as captured by measures of self-efficacy. Variation in self-efficacy scores among patients undergoing cancer treatment might point to unmet needs for non-medical support services in the context of outpatient clinics.

Drag Challenge History Made at Shakespeare County Raceway
The Z Club Drag Challenge rose to a new high at Shakespeare County Raceway this month when we ran an all Z eight car Bracket Eliminator for the first time ever in the U.K. Competitors posted their dial-in times and then ran to advantage or handicap on the tree against their opposition.
Winner on the day was Steve Kiddell in his injected twelve second 240Z. Steve just pressurised the consistent Jon Billings in a 260Z into his first break-out of the day. A hard won final!

This Gift Box includes four items:
Mineral and Matter Herkimer Diamond claw set earrings. Herkimer diamonds are quartz that is pointed on both ends (double terminated) and found only in the Herkimer mine in upstate New York. Because this is a rare quartz, they are called diamonds.

This necklace features a 18K plated gold crescent half moon with a smooth texture. It dangles from a 14k goldfill cable chain. Moon is about 1" wide and 1" tall. Chain is 16" long. You may also request 18" or 20" by replying to the email after checkout with your preferred length.

My dahlias arrived from Ferncliff Gardens in Mission this week. They were beautifully packed and labelled.
I was smitten with the low-growing bush dahlias I saw last August at the nursery's display garden. I ordered a few kinds, including 'Park Princess' and 'Terracotta' as well as a couple of beautiful apricot ones, 'David Digweed' and 'Ben Huston'.
The tubers can go in the ground in mid-April, but I want to get them going as soon as possible, so I popped them into containers for a month. I think they will be happier there and if they do start to grow and put down roots, all well and good. I may leave them in the pots until I am sure of where to plant them in the garden, which is not always an easy decision.
Anyway, here's a quick look at me opening the box and examining the tubers and popping them into containers.
Hope you are planning to grow some dahlias this year. They are terrific plants for producing gorgeous flowers for a long show from mid-summer right through to the hard frosts of fall.

My researches :
There are a lot of informations to know to be a good investor in stock, here are some of them. First,the difference between a stock and a share is that the term stock is used when you talk about your investments in many company. When you talk about share, you talk about your investment in one special company. For example, you can have 20 stocks in different company and you can have 20 shares in facebook. Sometimes, companies give a sum of money from their profits to their shareholders, this is called a dividend. There are a lot of markets but the bigger ones are New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, London Stock Exchange Group, Japan Exchange Group, Shanghai Stock Exchange and many others. In Markets, companies use ticker symbol. Each company chooses its ticker symbol to represent them in the stock market. The ticker symbols differ from market to market. For example, NASDAQ uses 4 letters, NYSE uses 3 letters. There are also other letters like Q which is used for bankrout and X which is used for mutual funds. A mutual fund is a group that invests in many companies. The found use the money of the shareholders to buy stocks and bonds. The mutual funds keep a percentage of cash to invest if there is a good opportunity. The demand is how many people want to buy a stock and the supply is the total amount of stock that are available.The price of a stock changes every day because of the supply and the demand. If the demand is going up, the price is going up and if the supply is going up, the action is going down. Because of this, the companies have to think of a good balance. The pros of investing in stock market are that you can make money easily and rapidly and that if you want to get out of the stock market, you can sell your stocks and get out of the market without a delay. The cons are that there are many external factors like politics, terrorist, and many others that can influence the market. One day the market is really high and the other day it's really low so it goes up and down really fast. Those were some informations about the market.
I started my project with 4 stocks, Apple, Dior, Tesla and Facebook. First, I chose apple. I chose this company because a lot of people are using apple devices and there is the new Iphone that just came out so it will bring a lot of money. Then, I invested in Tesla.Tesla are making electric car. Since this is recommended for the environment, people are buying a Tesla more and more. They are making new models that will cost less so it will be accessible to everybody and that's why I chose them. After that, I bought Dior because I saw it was going up and I thought I could make a lot of money. Lastly, I chose Facebook because a lot of people are on Facebook and it has become indispensable for a lot of people.
Reflection stage 3 :
Which companies are doing the best in your portfolio? Which are doing the worst?
Deutsche Bank is doing the best for the moment. Exxon mobil is right below it and Orange is doing the worst but it is still in positive.
What reasons can you identify to explain the performance of each of your investments?
Orange and Deutsche Bank were really low when I bought them so I thought they could only go up, which they did. I bought Exxon mobil because the winter is coming and people by more oil and gas. It went up considerably.
What are some of the changes you have made to your portfolio? Did you buy or sell any stocks? If so, please explain the reasons why.
At first, I started with Tesla, Apple and Facebook. Facebook wasn't doing well so I sold it. Apple was going down because it was after the buzz of the Iphone 7. I hoped it would go up again so I sold it. Tesla went up considerably in one day and I was afraid that it will go down suddenly so I sold it. I bought Christian Dior, which I sold one week after buying it. After that, I bought Exxon mobil and Orange and they are doing well since I bought them. Recently, Deutsche bank went down totally so I bought it, hoping it would go up again.
At this point as you continue to invest in this project, what would you like to change about your current portfolio? Why?
I would like to have more stocks to make more money but I need to make research on what to buy.
Final reflection :
Which companies were the best in your portfolio? Which were the worst?
I have bought stocks in a few companies during this project. Some were good and some weren't. The best companies in my portfolio during this project were Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo and Exxon Mobil. Christian Dior was also good but I sold it too early. The worst companies in my portfolio were Orange and Facebook, even if when I bought them, they were still going up. I lost a lot of money with those companies.
What reasons can you identify to explain the performance of each of your investments?
I don't have an explanation for all my stocks but I can explain some of them. Apple was the first stock I bought. It went down directly because they released the Iphone 7 the day before I bought in their company. After, I bought Tesla. The went up because the showed a new car that will be released soon. I also bought Exxonmobil. It went up because it's almost winter and people need oil and gas to warm their houses. When I bought Facebook, it was going up but after a few days, it decreased a lot. It decreased because Facebook is dying and it isn't the only social media anymore. I bought Deutsche bank and Wells fargo because they decreased a lot and they couldn't decrease anymore. They went up because the governments helped them because they didn't want these companies to stop. For all the other stocks, I don't have any explanations
If you were to redo this project, knowing what you know now - what would you do differently? Would you invest in the same stocks? Are there any other specific stocks you might invest in? Why?
If I had to redo this project, I would change a few things. First I wouldn't invest in Apple and Facebook for the reason I said before. I also wouldn't invest in Orange because that's the company that made me lose a lot of money. I would invest in Adidas because I saw that my classmates made a lot of money with it. For all the other stocks I invested in, I would keep them because overall they were good.
What have you learned about investing in the stock market? Be specific and descriptive.
During this project, I learned that it wasn't easy to invest in the stock market. The stocks are always changing and you need to keep an eye on it everyday. I learned how to research for stocks that can make you win money. I learned all the terms that are used in the market like P/E ratio, dividend, stock, share, mutual funds,ticker symbol. I also learned the pros and the cons of investing in the stock market.

An odd title, you may think, for an exhibition of photography, but not as odd as the reasons behind it. In the 1930s, the Information Division of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), commissioned photographers to record and document life in rural America during the Great Depression years, but to a very strict set of rules, guidelines and subject matter. Any submitted photographs that did not adhere to the instructions, were 'killed' by the project manager, Roy Stryker, by hole-punching the negatives. This control of information and censorship smacks of Stalinist Russia, with its propaganda machine ensuring that only those images sanctioned by the Party get into the public domain. Some images were 'strykered' because they were patently not good, or interesting, enough, but it was still an unusual and Draconian method of editing. Two photographers stand out, namely Dorothea Lange and Russell Lee, and they both operated around the farmworkers in the mid-Western States affected by the Dust Bowl. Many of Lange's photographs survive, as Stryker obviously thought highly of her, including the iconic image entitled Migrant Mother for the Resettlement Administration, which summed up the despair and poverty in this bleak patch of American history. Lee took thousands of pictures all over California, New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma, where he documented the lives of the tenant farmers and sharecroppers living in the migrant camp on May Avenue, south of the North Canadian River. Another featured photographer was the Social Realist painter, muralist and calligrapher, Ben Shaun, who travelled around the affected areas with Lange, and one wonders what could possibly be offensive about his photograph of the young woman at the rehabilitation centre in Boone County, Arkansas. Other photographers in the exhibition are Walker Evans, Paul Carter, Jack Delano, Theodor Jung, Arthur Rothstein, John Vachon and Marion Post Wolcott.
Whatever the reasons behind the defacement of so many negatives, printed up as bromides for this exhibition, the results, each with a black disc hovering randomly in the frame as a black sun, a hole or a ball, are in the realms of surrealism. In some images, the disc is in the middle of someone's face, while in another taken in a Cooperative store in Maryland, it sits on a shelf behind two children with a trolley. Wherever the disc appears in the frame, it does its job, as it becomes the focus of the picture and impossible to ignore, or use as a print. Franklin D Roosevelt was the President during this whole period between 1935 and 1944, and made serious efforts to drag America out of the Depression with his New Deal, comprising relief, recovery and reform, delivered over the wireless in his 'fireside talks,' including his famous remark, 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.'
He brought out laws mandating proper soil maintenance to make sure that another dust bowl was avoided. Stryker was part of Roosevelt's 'Brain Trust,' and, at his time in charge of the FSA, he made sure the files of more than 170,000 of his photographers' images and negatives ended up in The Library of Congress. He was interviewed by the Smithsonian Institution in later life and he admitted how little he really knew about photography and how much the photographers he had hired taught him, learning that images could express feeling as well as information. He realized, however, that magazine and newspaper photographs showing needy farmers, would boost the chances of New Deal relief legislation passing Congress. It is curious, then, that he went about selecting the right image in documenting the Great Depression at the expense of ones that were, in his view, not.

It was a case of different yet similar strokes for two Nigerian players at Udinese of Italy, as Stefano Chuka Okaka struck the only goal in the Udnine-based club's 1-0 win over visiting Bologna, while William Troost-Ekong went into the referee's bad book, megasportsarena.com reports.
Okaka, though, also dramatically got a yellow card in the encounter, as his 27th minute winner was followed by his booking in the 41st, while Troost-Ekong suffered the same fate in the 77th minute of play, but they held on for a famous home victory at Dacia Arena.
While Troost-Ekong lasted all 90 minutes of the game on Sunday, Okaka was replaced by in the 61st minute, but the former Fulham and Watford of England Italian ex-international had done enough for a good day out in front of the home fans.
The result on Sunday took Udinese to 10th placed, just one point behind Bologna on the Serie A table, with Okaka and Troost-Ekong's team now on seven points, while their visitors have eight, which is also only one behind Ola Aina's 8th placed AS Torino, who pulled off a stunning 2-1 win against visiting AC Milan on Thursday.
Aina played 86 minutes of that game and also got a yellow card in the 81st minute, as Andrea Belotti inspired a second-half turnaround with two goals against The Rossoneri, to pile more pain on the fallen giants of Italian football as they slid down to 13th in the Serie A table.
Milan, reeling from a 2-0 derby defeat by Inter, got off to a strong start when Polish forward Krzysztof Piatek converted a penalty in the 18th minute.
Italy striker Belotti missed a clear chance for the hosts just before halftime but made amends by levelling in the 72nd minute with a thumping strike from outside the area which proved too powerful for Gianluigi Donnarumma in the Milan goal.
Belotti put his side in front four minutes later with a scrappy yet emphatic finish, pouncing on another poor piece of goalkeeping by Donnarumma to bundle the loose ball towards the net, then conjuring up a scissor kick to smash it into the net.
Simone Zaza should have sealed victory for Torino in stoppage time when he tore towards goal alone but slipped over as he tried to round Donnarumma.
Torino were instead made to sweat for all three points, relying on an impressive save from goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu to thwart Piatek from point-blank range and inflict a third defeat in five games on six-times European champions Milan, who fell to 13th on the log with six points.

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
Today I'd like to share with you something we've been discussing quite a bit of lately. Recently, I wrote about my experience with a Creosote log and the many chemicals that are used in that product. The research led to excellent conversations between me and the kiddos regarding chemicals that are in our everyday products. One of our latest experiences has been learning more about chemicals and why it's important that we clean our home without them, too.
For as long as I can remember, the idea of cleaning was very present in my life. As a young child, I remember going to my Gram's house. It seemed as though she was always cleaning! At the time, I thought it was fun to dust her many figurines she treasured. Many of my memories take me back to times of helping her clean. I'm quite certain she's the one who taught me how to vacuum and wash dishes, the laundry, the windows, etc. These are just some things I've learned from my brilliantly genuine Gram.
The Norm
Chemicals. My Gram's house was clean, but it always smelled of chemicals. She and my Gramps owned a grocery store that was attached to their home. It seemed the cleaning was a never ending chore. Bless her heart. My Gram was always working. I can't remember her sitting down to rest. Anyway, the chemicals. I remember one day asking her why she was wearing rubber gloves (she even wore them to wash the dishes). She gave me a little lesson on how cleaning agents dried out her hands, so to protect them from the harshness of the cleaners she used, she wore the gloves. Good trade-off, I suppose. But it was all I knew.
College Work
When I went away to college, I knew I needed a job to supplement the nonexistent income of a poor college student. I worked at a hotel. As a housekeeper, you learn things that really go on behind the cleaning scenes in such an establishment. (Another story for another day.) The products used were full of chemicals, and my body did not appreciate my using them. Not long after cleaning, and sometimes in the middle of it, a whole host of issues would pop up. My nose would start to run, my throat would become scratchy and dry, and many times, I'd go home with a headache. I never put two and two together until it was too late. Shame on me! Those blasted chemicals!
Admittedly, I carry my Gram's love of cleaning into my own home. It was conveniently passed to my father, who also likes things to be neat and tidy. I guess I'm the lucky one who carries it among my siblings. It's a great trait to have, but don't ask my husband what he thinks of always having to clean up after himself! When you get married, purchase a home, and have children, the whole game changes. All of a sudden, you think less of yourself and all your energy goes to your family, where it belongs.
Introducing Essential Oils
For me, my life changed when my dental hygienist had an open conversation with me about essential oils during one of my teeth cleaning appointments. We had a great discussion about the benefits of the essential oils from a company called Young Living. At that time, their products were mainly bottled oils, from seeds planted, grown, and distilled at Young Living farms throughout the world. From that moment on, I was sold and immediately began a journey to a home of fewer chemicals. One of my favorite ways to use essential oils is by diffusing them into our air. Check out this post about which essential oil diffuser I recommend.
Ditch And Switch
Over the years, Young Living has evolved into selling more than just essential oils. Don't get me wrong, I still love them and we use them every single day. However, they have expanded to having a chemical-free makeup line, toothpaste, cleaning products, hair care products, soaps, lip balms, laundry detergent, CBD products, supplements, foods, and so much more! When Young Living began marketing all these newer products, we made the decision to start getting rid of things we already owned and replace them with products that were safe for our family. This has proven to be one of the best decisions we have made. Of all the products Young Living sells, one of my favorite items is their all-purpose cleaner, Thieves Household Cleaner.
If you are interested in learning more about Young Living, please refer to this post. In it, you will also find detailed information on how to get started using Young Living products in your home! I would love to help you begin your journey to ditching the chemicals and switching to products that are 100% safe for you and your loved ones.
Last Tip
The other day, I was cleaning our floors. As curiosity struck the 4-year-old, he asked what I was cleaning with. Was I using chemicals to clean our floor? I was able to share with him that I thought his question was a brilliant one. I told him that I was cleaning our floor with a steamer that used only water – no chemicals! He was delighted to hear that and even took over the fun steaming duties!
In case you're wondering, I've been steaming our floors for years. I love the products made by Shark. The steamers clean the floor by heating water and using steam and the cloth on the mop head. You can check out this video and see it in action!

Final Thoughts
The kids and I have had several successful discussions and learning opportunities regarding chemicals. I can only hope that I have instilled in them the many positives that come with zero to little chemical use. I know that sometimes it is unavoidable, but we deal with each situation differently. If you have any questions or comments on either Young Living, the Shark steamer, or cleaner living, please reach out in the comments! I would love to help you!
Live Your Best Life!

My corner of New England happens to be well endowed with herb farms and my will power easily sapped by the sight of plants for sale. Surely a gold-leaved marjoram wouldn't be amiss? What about a Lavandula viris from the Canary Islands? And inevitably the car fills up with plants that will turn out to be too large, too small, or simply not as interesting as their history and provenance have made them sound. There is, I find, that drawback to herbs. No other class of plant bears such a weight of myth and symbolism, and it can be oversold. For me there comes a time when it isn't enough to know that a plant was sacred to Jupiter, used to ward off snakes, a symbol of loyalty or mentioned by Theophrastus, when all it looks like is a not very exciting wild flower/weed.

Hi there DP ! I have heard this is a great companion plant for growing grapes .. I've meant to try it out but haven't gotten there yet .. but YES !! I buy herbs upon herbs .. I love parsley, rosemary .. have basil for the scent .. lemon verbena is my favorite when it comes to scent .. dill and fennel as well. I guess you can see I'm an herb nut too ? LOL

You're so right. I grew borage once, and was not impressed.

I think it's time to create the next generation of folklore, symbolism and questionable remedies to apply to boring plants so that future generations will have something to regret buying. I, for one, have heard that Vinca minor cures computer viruses.

Body Extensions For Early 1/4 Ton Jeeps
UPDATE: Someone in Georgia is selling newly built beds (see post below). So, I thought it would be a good time to rerun this post.
Originally published in 2016: This may come as a surprise (not) that early jeeps weren't known for their vast amounts of space. We've all seen military photos showing jeeps packed full of stuff, like this SAS desert fighter:
When the war ended and CJ-2As were introduced, a couple companies recognized the need for more room and solved the problem by creating add-on bed extensions (also known as bed extenders and body extensions). These bolted to the back and, usually, had supports that dropped to the PTO bar to help support the extra weight. Then, the tailgate was fixed to the very rear of the extension. The goal of this post is an effort to identify the different companies and their products.
As early as August and September of 1946, two different patents were filed, both by the same people.I have been unable to discover if that first patent model was ever built, but the second one has two sides that fold down similar to the Newgren (shown in #2).
Various Bed Extensions identified so far:
- Porter Reed Bed Extension: One of the earliest known bed extensions was produced by Porter & Reed. It was marked along with a half top, creating a truck out of a jeep.
- Newgren Bed Extensions: The Newgren Company also entered the bed extension field in the later 1940s with two different versions. The first was their standard bed extension:
The second model Newgren offered was a collapsable version.
- S & B Corporation's Jeep Panel Body: About the same time Newgren and Porter & Reed introduced their extensions, the S & B Corporation made their own spin on adding more room by selling a kit that converted the jeep into a panel van.
- Koenig Bed Extensions: By 1955, Koenig had entered the market. Whether the company designed their own or bought out one of their competitors isn't know (to me), but Koenig sold the extensions for at least a decade. This first ad is from 1955, the second from 1960, and the third from the mid-1960s.
Here is an example of a Koenig data plate:
- Wall & Borg Bed Extender: In the 1960s, a Lake Tahoe, California, company called Wahl & Borg introduced a unique bed extension. Rather than bolt on to the rear of the jeep, theirs slid out.
There have been a number of bed extensions that have resold over the last ten years on Craigslist and eBay, some attached to jeeps and some by themselves. I have found it difficult to distinguish between them, never having owned or seen that many up close. You can see all the ones documents thus far on eWillys: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/bed-extension/
Derek Redmond also has some excellent information on extensions over at the CJ-3B Page. https://cj3b.info/Tech/BodyExtension.html
Built-to-Order Bed Extenders Gainesville, GA $450
These might be based on the Koenig bed extender (see a variety of extenders here). I've not interacted with the seller and have not seen one in person yet. Has anyone ordered one of these?
"Listing for a friend that is not on FB. Built Willys Jeep Extend A Bed. 7 cubic ft more room!! Will fit CJ models 2a, 3a, 3b, 5, 6. I had this made exactly from an original 1946 extend a bed. For sale is the base and sides only. Included are nuts and bolts for mounting. Price does not include shipping. Send me your address for shipping quote. Local Pick up is available. These are made to order."
1955 Jeep Specialized Vehicles And Equipment
Seems I had scans of this 1955 Jeep Specialized Vehicles And Equipment brochure after all (not sure where I got them). The brochure is twenty-eight pages, but does not have a Form number (confirmed by the order form in this post).
WANTED: Photo of an Early Monroe 3-Point Lift Tag
Ted Jordan is hoping to find a good photo of a data tag from an early Monroe 3-Point Lift. Apparently, the early lifts did not have stampings; instead they had a tag attached as shown in the poor photo below. Ted would like to get a good photo of one so he can have the tag recreated. If you have something, either comment below, email me d @ deilers.com or email Ted direction willysted @ charter.net.
Jeep Family of 4-Wheel-Drive Vehicles in Public Service Brochure on eBay
This brochure (form W-991-5) is currently priced at $18.99 with free shipping (or make offer). You could probably offer $15 and get it (I made an offer on a different brochure from the same seller and knocked off a few bucks). You can review all 25 pages here.

1944 Article w/ Picture of a Jeep Called Buzz Bomb
Just one update Sunday, next updates Monday.
This jeep was painted by Pfc. Joseph Chesley, who's come up with some creative jeep names. This article appeared in the December 22, 1944, issue of the Arizona Blade-Tribune.

No date on this photo from Ireland. Are the uniforms unique enough to date the photo?

Willys-Overland Tire Sidewall and Radiator Flush on eBay
Maury spotted these items. The 1/4 jeep looks almost like a high-hood, but given a Jeepster is shown, I'm guess it is actually a 2A or 3A. I would guess these are 1949 or 1950 containers.

"J" Cap Hubcaps Spokane, WA $120
Did we ever determine the origin of these hubcaps? A similar use of the "J" logo was used on Cutlas hubcaps, but the hubcap was much more plain and the lettering was black, not red. A similar set was for sale in Florida back in 2017. I checked the Brian Chuchua and Conferr catalogs, but there's sign of them in there.

1974 Kelly Tire Carrier Brochure
This Kelly brochure provides a good closeup on how the tire carrier mounted to the rear of the jeep. You can see that it bolted to both tailgate hinges and to the center. (view more rear tire carriers/jerry can carriers here)
1958 Kayline Soft Top Brochures
This set of Kayline Soft Top brochures cover Kayline's Delux Quality, Kaylux Quality, and Convertible soft tops. These brochures also suggest that, as of 1958, Kayline was not working with Kelly Manufacturing yet.
Kayline Ski Rack and Sunliner Top Brochures
These brochures from the mid-1970s highlight the Ski/Luggage racks offered by Kayline. The top brochure also shows Kayline's 'Sunliner' soft top, which features windows on the top's roof to let in light and improve visibility.
This brochure page included actually swatches of the denim used in making Tan and Blue tops. I have a tan Kayline Denim convertible top, but have not compared the swatch to the top yet.
Sta-Bar Kit Brochures
UPDATE: This 2012 post has been updated to reflect the existence of two different Sta-Bar Kits.
Two different manufactures (were there any others?) offered stabilizing kits that were meant to reduce some of the horizontal shifting that can occur when using a rear lift.
Here's a detail look at a Monroe 3pt Hitch without a stabilizer hit.
The Roper Manufacturing Company out of Zanesville, Ohio, manufactured a set of bars that pivoted on special vertical plates attached to the ends of the PTO bar and attached to the lower links as highlighted below:
Here's the Roper Sta-Bar Kit brochure:
The Green Manufacturing Company's Green Star-Bar Kit has bars that appear to attach to the outside of the lower links in a similar manner to the Roper kit. I can't tell how the kit attaches to the PTO bar or how that might differ from the Roper setup. The pricing shows it was slightly less expensive than the Roper Sta-Bar Kit.
WWII Photo with Woman, Soldiers, Jeep and Camera
Givnethe camera, his *might* be a press photo crew of some sort? The square appearing gas tank suggests this might be an early MB. For some reason, the seller thinks this photo is a "Original 1910's WWI Photo", which would indeed be a rare photo, lol.

Just a Few Posts for Wednesday
Only a few posts for Wednesday. I've begun re-organizing some of our older trips (Southwest Spring FC Roundup 2013 trip for example) to make navigating the pages easier. It turned out to be much more work than I'd planned, as I hadn't gotten the hang yet of traveling and documenting a trip. My goal is to get them all organized in one section of the site … So, just a few updates for today.
If you want to see (or re-see) our 2013 Southwest trip, here it is:

A few years ago Mark Smith published this great video about Craig's tour jeep. Somehow I missed seeing it. They are really fun to ride around town.

Circus Themed Dealer Contest plus Record on eBay
This oddity is being auction on eBay. It's a neat piece for the right person; I haven't decided it I'm the right person or not yet.

"A splendid advertising promotion for a Factory-funded contest between dealers to sell Kaiser Jeep products. 7 1/4″ x 7 1/2″, slick illustrated paper with a very thin record of the same size, typical of a 45-RPM record – but in this case meant to be played at 33 1/3-RPM.
Jeep Sales Circus contest – undated;
Prepared under the Kaiser Jeep name – inaugurated 1963;
Kaiser Jeep address uses the Postal Code (Toledo 1, Ohio) which was discontinued in 1963 with the inauguration of Zip Codes;
Dealers could win points with each Jeep sale or with Jeep parts, Accessories sales;
No discussion about what you'd win;
Kaiser sponsorship of The Greatest Show on Earth" TV program – ABC-TV – the series ran for one year, 1963-1964.
A splendid and very uncommon sales promotion. Note – a glued strip attached the record to the brochure – directions called for the cover to be folded under the record and the back cover, and played on your record player in that format – the brochure and the record all show the center hole drill. This record was detached from the glued strip."

Bashir had some stupid things to say after he was released from prison like the Australian and American press had altered stories about him and his beliefs.
FIREBRAND cleric Abu Bakar Bashir has been greeted by a sea of supporters punching fists in the air and screaming "Allah hu Akbar", or God is Great, as he arrived home to his Java boarding school.
After a brief stop to bathe his feet and pray, Bashir immediately launched into a brief sermon, telling thousands of students and onlookers seated in a dusty courtyard before him that Australian Prime Minister John Howard should "convert to Islam".
I haven't heard any media reports about what John Howard has to say to this but it will be intresting if does say anything to it.

Despite its foreboding name, Truth or Consequences is actually a charming little town located in central New Mexico. Famous for its hot springs along the Rio Grande River, Truth or Consequences has become a tourist destination for people looking to soak in small town life.
But there's way more to do in Truth or Consequences than just soak in hot springs–which is, to be fair, a pretty incredible reason to visit. There's also a charming downtown area, nearby hikes, and more.
11 Things To Do In Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
This post may contain affiliate links, which means we may receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link. Read our Disclosure.
1. Visit Riverbend Hot Springs
Riverbend Hot Springs is a resort and spa located on the Rio Grande River. While there are many places to relax and soak in Truth or Consequences, we had such a great experience at Riverbend Hot Springs that we couldn't possibly recommend anything else.
Soaking in the hot springs at Riverbend is free for overnight guests, but for $12 an hour anyone can soak in Riverbend's beautiful hot springs. You can also rent a towel for an additional $2. There are a bunch of different hot springs to choose from, and when you're all done you can sit in their outdoor sauna. Prepare for a day of zen relaxation.
2. Check out Xochi's Bookstore
There's nothing that we love more than a cool old used bookstore, and Xochi's was a great find. Inside this small bookstore located centrally in Truth or Consequences, you can find anything from encyclopedias and history books to cook books and novels. You'll want to leave yourself plenty of time to peruse this charming spot.
3. Grab lunch at A&B Drive-In
If you're looking for a quick and casual lunch spot, you can't go wrong with A&B Drive-In. Whether you pick your food up from the window or dine in their indoor dining area, you'll love the American-Mexican fusion style of food they serve.
We ordered the enchilada and burger and both were delicious. The people working at A&B Drive In were also super friendly and helpful, recommending different foods to try and things to do while in town.
4. Visit Rio Bravo Fine Art Gallery
We visited Rio Bravo Fine Art Gallery at the recommendation of an art-loving local. It didn't disappoint. This sprawling gallery has everything from modern works of art to beautiful jewelry, each piece more colorful than the next. It's worth it to stop in just to see unique style of New Mexico artists.
The owner of the gallery was around while we visited his gallery. He was very friendly and let us walk around without interrupting us. He also didn't mind us taking pictures–a first for us in galleries.
5. Stroll down Broadway
Broadway is the main street and downtown area in Truth or Consequences. There are a lot of cute shops and restaurants along this street, and we recommend checking out as many as you can. You'll get a good feel of the town from the friendly locals in each shop.
6. Catch a movie at El Cortez Theater
El Cortez Theater is an old-fashioned movie theater in downtown Truth or Consequences. The classic style theater runs brand new films, with shows starting at 7 PM most nights, and 2 PM and 7 PM on Saturdays. All tickets sell for $6 per person. Check their Facebook page for the latest screenings and showtimes.

7. Grab a beer at Truth or Consequences Brewing Co.
There aren't exactly many places to grab a drink in Truth or Consequences. Luckily, the one brewery in town is actually a really cool spot. Truth or Consequences Brewing Co. is located on Broadway and has a beautiful tasting room, where it regularly hosts live music events.
There are a bunch of great beers on tap, which are reasonably priced from $5-$8. The bartenders are very friendly and are willing to let you try as many beers as you want to find the beer you want to order. We highly recommend stopping by and having a beer at this one-of-a-kind brewery.
8. Visit Geronimo Springs Museum
Geronimo Springs Museum was recommended to us by another local who described it as "quirky and informative." Unfortunately, time didn't allow for us to go into Geronimo Museum but it's something to consider if you love history. Admission is only $6 for adults, $3 for kids, and kids under the age of 6 visit for free.
9. Try the Asian-Fusion food at Latitude 33
We had an awesome dinner at Latitude 33, which serves up a menu of Asian-fusion deliciousness. Situated on South Pershing Street just steps from the main downtown area, Latitude 33 has cozy seating within their colorful dining area. We ordered the mandarin chicken with fried rice and the chicken lo mein, and both were incredible.

10. Visit Elephant Butte State Park
Less than 10 miles north of Truth or Consequences is Elephant Butte State Park, New Mexico's largest state park and reservoir. The park allows overnight camping and boat usage, and puts on a fourth of July fireworks show during the summer.
We visited in the winter when much of the water is drained for usage in Texas, but still had an incredible time seeing this picturesque park. If you're visiting in the summer time, we recommend taking an early morning stroll around the reservoir before things get too busy.
11. Stay at Tula Sanctuary via Airbnb
One of the locals who we met in Truth or Consequences that recommended many of the things we did happened to run a small airbnb. And while we didn't stay there, we were in her check-in area which was absolutely beautiful.
The Tula Sanctuary Inn that she runs is beautiful and has great reviews, so consider staying here if you are making the trek to Truth or Consequences.
Airbnb is great if you're looking to have a more local experience. You can stay at a super unique places (like this one!) that has way more space than a hotel room. If you're new to Airbnb, feel free to sign up with our link for $55 off your first booking 🙂
Final Thoughts
Truth or Consequences is the best of both worlds: it has charming small town vibes, yet plenty of fun things to do. If you are looking for your next getaway, we highly recommend Truth or Consequences for it's beautiful downtown, affordability, and proximity to the Albuquerque airport.
If you're planning a trip to Truth or Consequences, we also highly recommend visiting the romantic mountain town Ruidoso. It's only a few hours away and we love it there.

A beautiful wrap or wide scarf, ideal to finish off a specail outfit.
This shoulder wrap is very fine, it has been knitted on large needles to give a loose, lacy look, and then completed with a crocheted edge at either end and applied finge. The yarn is a beautiful multiple-tonal soft pink, with hints of pale blue, green and lilac. There is a soft shimmer within the yarn and is super soft!

Understanding the SEO and the Results for the Same
Search Engine Optimization -… the big, opaque and scary but so important topic in website creation? Complex definitely, important too – but do not worry, with a few simple steps you can improve a lot. Here are 8 simple tips to help you find your website content.
Foundations for Search Engine Optimization
Before we start with the simple tips, anticipate a few dry basics for those interested. Do you know? Then scroll to the tips.
What is search engine optimization? Search engine optimization is often abbreviated SEO, which comes from the English term "Search Engine Optimization". This term covers all actions that help to make your website content better reflected in the organic results of search engines. Organic means "natural", not paid.
Where is actually looking for? With almost 95% Google is the most used search engine. That's why you can confidently optimize for Google – and what works for Google will also work for other search engines like Bing or Yahoo. The fine options for the Best SEO Company are there.
Tips for SEO Optimization of Your Website Content
Tip 1 – Optimize URLs
When creating a new page or a new post, it starts with the URL. Give a speaking URL that is not too long and explains the content succinctly. Your keyword should also be placed here. If the URL is changed later, a redirect should be set up.
Tip 2 – Structure headings
By that I mean not only the allocation of headings to the structure of the text, but the assignment for structuring. So an H1 heading for the title, then one or more H2 headers for subordinate points, for even more subordinate H3 headers, etc. Do not make the mistake and use the headline feature in the editor, just because of the default font size just right.
Tip 3 – Use keywords
How do I find a suitable keyword and where should it go?
For keyword research, the first step is to simply use Google – enter your main keyword and see what Google offers you for additions. For a shorter keyword, it's usually harder to get in front. For longer keywords you probably have more chances (so-called "long tail keywords).
In the second step you can, for example, refine with ubersuggest.io and the Google Keyword Planner.If you found your matching keyword, you can put it in here:
Content at the beginning
Old day with picturesin the description
But beware: If it does not fit, it does not fit – then let it go! You should not be too over-motivated, because otherwise you will achieve exactly the opposite. Use synonyms and related terms – what you'll probably do automatically if you write naturally.
Tip 4 – Optimize texts
As just written – think when writing your text to your desired customers, not to the search engine. Artificially constructed text passages are uncomfortable. If you structure your texts well, both your readers and the search engines will be happy. Use headline and subheads for paragraphs, and make it easier to read through enumeration, highlighting, and a summary or conclusion.

- New larger size-print more designs on one sheet!
• Stays in place while you stitch and tears away easily when you're done

This new, larger size is the same great quality as the 8-1/2"x11" sheets you know and love. Fabric doesn't slip on the surface and you won't have any extra bulk when you join sections of your blocks together. This paper is absorbent, so any inked areas won't transfer to your fabric. Now it's easier to create longer quilt border designs -a free border pattern is included in the package!

Causes Of Laurys Station Sewer Drain Clogs
When the obstruction happens in the primary sewer line, all wastewater going through your house will not leave the property, however it will emerge at the most affordable point of the drainage system. That means that a main sewer clog can appear from a basement toilet, sink, or shower.
Hair is the most common culprit associated to a slow drain in your bathroom sink, tub or shower. The most common causes of a slowly draining cooking area sink are food related, grease and other particles get trapped in either the drain basket or the P trap. Sewer lines are the primary lines that carry sewage and wastewater away from your house. Tree roots, weakening or collapsing pipelines, and sludge buildup can all cause slow drains in your family.

Sewer drains are part of your house pipes system and the length of the drain from your the home of the street or main line is usually the homeowner's responsibility. Identifying the area and severity of the drain blockage is essential to making sure that the blockage is removed and dealt with correctly.
How do roots get into my sewer pipelines?
Numerous of the older pipes are set up with joints that have gaskets or are filled with lead. It is with roots.
I have exceptionally slow draining pipes and my drains are blocked all of the time. Exactly what should I do?
A camera pipe evaluation enables a real time visual evaluation of underground sewer lines and other piping in order to determine the condition inside the pipeline. This cutting-edge innovation utilizes a versatile fiber optic cable with a high-resolution video camera on the pointer that sends images back to the electronic camera operator who can make a notified diagnosis of any issues found.
As the cable is placed through the pipeline, equipped with effective lights it has the ability to tape its findings which can be saved to CD for an irreversible record. Our professionally qualified professionals have the ability to identify problems with broken, broken or collapsed drains that need repair work or replacement.
What can I do about tree roots in my Laurys Station sewer line?
Tree roots will not crack a sound sewer, however if you have cracks or failures in those lines, roots can enter. When a sewer line is split, roots will deal with pipes like a buffet and bombard the lines. Roots permeate openings to reach the moisture in pipes, and they can totally fill the pipeline with hairy root masses that clog sewer lines with toilet tissue and other debris.
How Do I Know if My Sewer Line is Blocked?
There are lots of symptoms of a clogged sewer line. If only one or two fixtures drain slowly, it is likely due to a local obstruction and can be fixed with a plunger or auger. If the issue persists or if you notice that all of you fixtures are draining gradually at the same time, it might be because of a clog in your Laurys Station sewer line.
