Jason gets a shock from Homeserve

We had our boiler serviced today and Jesus! What a palaver! The service itself went OK, no problems with the old boiler and the bloke from Homeserve didn’t spill a drop of the tea we gave him, but what a mess after he’d left!

We’d booked the service after hearing about Homeserve’s central heating cover, 10 minutes on the phone, bish-bosh, the guy was booked for Wednesday. No problem. He arrives at 11 on the dot, spends 30 minutes making noise in the kitchen…no problem. He sticks a widget in the flu, twiddles some nobs, declares we’re not all being slowly poisoned to death…no problem. Finally he asks me to sign a slip of paper, thanks me for the cuppa and letting him listen to the baseball results on the radio (he’s American…how you end up going from New York to Salford I’ll never know) then he’s off. You guessed it…no problem!

Only thing is it turned out young Jason next door was having a shower when the man from Homeserve was servicing the boiler, and when the chap shut the water off for a few seconds all hell broke loose. Apparently Jason slipped in the shower when the water cut off, bounced about the bathroom a bit in a state of shock and promptly fell out the window! Only ground floor mind, but he’s pretty banged up apparently! I’ll get the full story from him and post some pictures of his scabs when he comes round next week to feed me parakeets.

Gsm minikrediet, 352 euro is one call away

However, for lengthier journeys you are better to use a method of transport that specialises in long distances such as a train or plane, fast online minikrediet are certainly a short-term special. If you apply for an payday loan for 467 euro you will usually have to fill out an online form and attach copies of your documentation in an email, or by fax.

However, this does vary with some providers charging 27 interest and so on. Unexpected money problems can hit even those who keep a tight grip on their finances if something goes wrong in the home, a family member needs support or you receive a larger than expected bill you might require cash to help you get by until your next wage slip.

The premise behind direct minikrediet is simple whatever you need 288 euro for, you can take out a loan (usually ranging from 67 euro but sometimes up to 1,000 depending on the provider) that is repayable on your next payday, whether it is 22 days away or less.

You must however, be able to satisfy the fast minikrediet provider that you will have enough cash available to cover the advance repayment they will look at how much you can afford to pay back on an individual basis between 319 euro. Almost all of us count down the weeks until payday? However, it is not necessary to use the loan for this purpose and effectively the cash can be used at your discretion as long as it is paid back with interest during the short loan term. It’s easy to compare minikrediet with us and hopefully you’ll soon have the cash you need to get by without worrying how far away your next payday may be.

A 10 minutes minikrediet is a way to solve a short-term cash issue for amounts like 94 euro.

In the majority of instances for every 265 euro you borrow you have to pay back 279 euro, meaning 12 interest. This is where a gsm minikrediet comes in, offering a suitable sum of money to help you get by. As with all online minikrediet it is best to take a complete search of the market before you apply for a direct online minikrediet for aount 118 euro so you can compare interest rates and make sure you are getting the best deal for your needs. The charge you need to observe is how much you pay back on the amount you borrow - this is a fixed sum dependent on the individual provider. Be sure to use the fast online minikrediet comparison tool at minikrediet to compare rates. For many it simply can’t arrive soon enough as we attempt to juggle bills and expenses, as well as trying to have a little fun in life.

A Golf Story From The TPC Scottsdale

In a perfect world, every place would get as many sunny days as Phoenix, Arizona. I was fortunate enough to golf at one of Arizona’s better courses a couple of years ago, the TPC Scottsdale, home of the FBR Open. It was late May, 2003 which is when the tourism season winds down somewhat in Arizona because the summer is quite hot and the weather is starting to get better everywhere else.

Because we were part of a large group, we started on the 5th Hole, a 453 Par 4. My foursome all agreed we’d play from the Pro tees and measure up how we would compare to the likes of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. I know, it’s a silly thing to do but we enjoyed it none the less.

The course was beautiful and in great shape. It’s amazing how the ball flies through the air in the dry climate of Arizona. I managed a 7 to start at 3 over after the first hole and followed that with a 10 on number 6. My partner wanted to give me an 8 there but I wanted to see what my real score would be so I kept it.

The problem I had on number 6 was the bunkers and this seemed to be the biggest difference with the TPC Scottsdale course compared to other courses I have played. I had a real problem with how deep they were so I knew I had to stay out of them for the rest of the game.

I actually managed to pull things together nicely (for me) and put together a string of 5’s but the best hole of the day was by far the 18th. This is a beautiful finishing Par 4 that starts with a carry over the water. You need about a 190 yard carry to clear the water and I hit my drive perfect, avoiding 2 of the dreaded bunkers on the other side of the water. I’ve never been known for my short game so I was happy with my second shot that landed safely just short of the green. Here’s where I usually gain a couple strokes but I pulled out a nice par with a short chip and an easy putt to finish.

At the end of the day, I was pleased to finish with a 103. Considering my 10 on number 6, I left knowing that I was within striking distance of breaking 100 which was where I usually shoot on an average day. Throw in the fact that I was using rental clubs and they had cold beer on a hot day, I can’t wait to go back and break 100.

The following year I watched the FBR Open from the comfort of my own home while the snow fell outside. As I watched Mickelson tee off on number 18 I thought of my shining moment where I pulled out the par and wondered how Phil would play the same hole. I can’t remember what Phil’s score was on 18 that day in 2004 but it was either a bogey or a double bogey so I had to smile to myself watching at home. Of course I don’t think I would have handled the pressure as well if I were there in the FBR Open but it was fun to play the same course as the best golfers in the world.

bipolar disorder symptoms

Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that effects over 2
millions American adults every single year. Because it is a
recurrent illness it can be very difficult to treat; patients
may think they are feeling better and stop the treatment but
this will only see the problems recurring. It is difficult to
spot bipolar disorder symptoms because the nature of the illness
means that patients spend as much time in a state of mania (up)
as they do in depression. It should be fairly easy to notice
when a person who is close to you goes through this cycle on a
regular basis and the second you see evidence of it you should
make an appointment to see the sufferer’s physician. They will
be able to refer you to a psychiatrist if required.

Severe cases of either of the swings associated with bipolar
disease can lead to symptoms of psychosis which can include
hallucination and delusions. These should also be very easy to
spot but it is unlikely that the sufferer themselves will do so.

morbid thoughts are the most worrying of symptoms and many
people subconsciously ignore them in the hope they go away.
However, if you suspect the patient is having morbid thoughts
and contemplating suicide you should act immediately to prevent
the worst from happening. If necessary call 911.

Depression can be spotted quite easily too but can be overlooked
as just being a down day. A sad or anxious mood that lasts for
an extended period of time is the most obvious sign of
depression and the first thing you should look for. Other signs
include a loss of interest in things that would have previously
caused excitement, including hobbies or sex.

Manic episodes can be easy to spot and include an increase in
energy and a euphoric mood. Obviously if a person has been
depressed for any length of time and then suddenly shows these
characteristics it is likely to be very evident and easily
noticed. Other signs of mania can include an increased sex
drive, a lack of concentration, spending sprees and many more.

Three Poems: Phantom of the Rocks; Lady from Lima & Bell Ringer of de Copan

Phantom of the Rocks

[Huancayo, Peru]

Night falls deep

Upon the traveler!

Low, over the Andes

By Huancayo;

They know a legend,

Not of this earth,

Where evil lurks

(Over Palla-Huarcuan!…)

“The Phantom of the Rocks”;

Should you pass thru there,

At nightbe aware:

Expect not to return!…

Note: There is a rock in the form of an Indian Maiden; this is considered the evil spirit of the area. #657 5/13/05

Lady from Lima

[Dona Ana-1668 AD]

Dona Anabut twenty-nine

Years old
Ruled Lima, Peru, with

Diamonds and gold.
Haunted with pride and

Nobility…
She dressed in splendor

For all to see!
And pardoned a friar

Who was quite thirsty!

Bell Ringer: de Copan

In the cathedral de Copan
the Bell Ringer was a boy
and his only job

(to my knowledge was),
was to the ring the bells…
in the town-let of the cathedral.

It so happened that (one night

around dusk) ,
the lad, with mortal anguish,
inspired madnessin the

delirium

of the moment:
rang the bells like Holy Hell!!

(As I was witness to this all.)

He rang the bells, as if they had

wings!
As if this was his sermon.
As he dashed against the Tower

Walls:

He rang the bells like Holy Hell!!
He rang the bells with Royal

decree!!
He swung on the ropes like a

monkey.

Echoes, echoespassed through

the plaza-square;
as sinful strollers, strolled

everywhere….

As he rang the bells like Holy Hell!!

And now tell me: what could

I do?
I pealed my hat off my head,

And kneeled on a pew.

Note: Occurrence happened as described in the poem, April, 2005
while visiting the archeological site nearby. #658 [May 13, 2005]

analysis is acceptable if a company is mass purchasing or mass
manufacturing the same product to the same standards every time.
The essence of ETO is building a unique complex product every
time. There may be components that are common from one machine
to another, but not in the same quantity as a repetitive
manufacturer.” Cutler profiles several Encompix ERP clients in
the feature article. Encompix (www.encompix.com) has filled the
manufacturing software requirements of Engineer-to-Order

Do You Need Bad Breath Cures!

I can’t think of anything more repulsive than talking in close quarters with someone who has the breath of a dog’. Well actually, that’s not quite true. Have you ever been on a fresh date and found yourself spontaneously and passionately delving into a good night frenchie with your new love? Nothing wrong with a good night kiss under normal circumstances, but I was found myself in an unfortunate situation once where my new date, Belinda, had a mouth that reeked like a dead rat’s guts.

It was not only disturbing but frigging awkward too. I mean how do you stop kissing abruptly and make it look natural. I wanted to throw up so quickly that I faked a sneezing fit which excused the embrace and also masked my expression of disgust. She certainly needed to experiment with the bad breath cures available but I wasn’t going to be the one to bring up such a sensitive subject. I thought I’d leave that to a future sweetheart, but as for me, well, I was out of there for good.

Why is it then that some folks have stinking bad breath despite having a rigorous oral hygiene regime and a perfect mouthful of teeth? My brother is one of these unfortunates and has literally spent years looking for bad breath cures and remedies. It’s sad to watch as people approach him and then cringe with revulsion as he speaks.

If you’re married or have a live-in partner, you’ve surely caught a whiff of your spouse’s morning yawn. It’s no wonder the good night kiss is more common than the good morning peck. Oh well, at least there are bad breath cures and various bad breath treatment products around these days. With a little guidance from your local dentist and maybe a trip to the pharmacist, you can prevent that retched air from ruining your first impressions.

In my brother’s case it can only be controlled not cured, but he’ll settle for that. It actually got to be such an issue between him and his wife, Rebecca, that she told him to either find some bad breath cures to try or she’s off! Bit drastic, I thought, but it was obviously getting to her big time!

Anyway, here are a few basic known cures for bad breath. It all starts with good oral hygiene. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day and according to dentists, you should spend a minimum of 2 minutes on your pearly whites each session. Another thing, and maybe not such common knowledge, is that you should scrub that tongue too, as it’s the tongue where all the little bacteria reside as they cling to your taste buds. Tongue scrubbing is a great cure for bad breath but don’t thrust that toothbrush too far back or you’ll find yourself reaching from the pit of your stomach.

Flossing is grossly overlooked by many but once again, it’s highly recommended by dentists. It’s between the teeth and gums where plaque and tarter build-up and this can lead to gingivitis and the dreaded death breath if gone untreated. For best results flossing should be done on a daily basis, preferably last thing at night.

Finally, there’s the trusted mouth wash, but this is one of the temporary bad breath cures and should be used in addition to and not instead of the treatments mentioned above. Aside from good oral cleaning, there are a number of other bad breath cures to try, and if you’re anything like my brother, I’d advise you seek the help of a professional. Gee, I hope you’re reading this Belinda.

Doggin’ Columbus, Ohio: Where To Hike With Your Dog In Arch City

When in downtown Columbus dog lovers will want to head for Goodale Park, at
Front Street and Goodale Boulevard, for a romp. The 35-acre greenspace, now
surrounded by high-rise sentinels, was pastoral open ground when Dr. Lincoln
Goodale donated the land in 1850. Goodale was the first person to practice
medicine in Columbus and the park was the town’s first. You will find plenty of
canine company, including organized doggie play groups, under the shade trees
and near the artificial lake.

For some of the best canine hiking anywhere when visiting Columbus, travel about
one hour southeast to Hocking Hills State Park. The tribes of the Wyandot, Delaware
and Shawnee knew the valley as “Hockhocking” for its bottle shape, created when
glacial ice plugged the Hocking River. The sandstone is of varying hardness that has
cracked and eroded into fascinating rock formations and caves. The state of Ohio
began preserving this unique natural area in 1924 with a purchase of 146 acres.

Dog-friendly Hocking Hills State Park is a superb destination for any dog, but is
especially delightful for the canine hiker who is a few hikes beyond those days of
the 10-mile treks. There are six distinct areas in the park - five for canine hiking:
no dogs are permitted in the Conkles Hollow state nature preserve in the center of
Hocking Hills.

The star of Hocking Hills is Old Man’s Cave tucked into a heavily wooded, twisting
ravine. The Old Man was Richard Rowe who moved to the area some time around
1796 to establish a trading post. Upon arriving in Hocking Hills he stayed and lived
out his life here, traveling with his two dogs in search of game. Rowe is buried
beneath the ledge of the main recess cave.

An easy, one-mile trail works its way into and around the primeval gorge; wooden
steps and bridges smooth the way. Your dog will enjoy a dip in Old Man’s Creek,
especially in the pool beneath the Upper Falls.

Additional attractions near Old Man’s Cave are Cedar Falls and Ash Cave. Both can
be accessed by car and a short walk from the parking lots. For heartier canine
visitors, a 6-mile trail connects all three natural attractions. There is more great
dog-paddling under Cedar Falls and nearby Rose Lake.

In the north sections of Hocking Hills the trails explore impressive cliff formations
on trails less than one mile long. The trails are wide and graded with easy footing
for your dog as you make your way from the rim to the floor at the Rock House and
Cantwell Cliffs. The Rock House is a perpendicular cliff that features hollowed-out
rooms at the bottom. At Cantwell Cliffs your dog will enjoy navigating through
separated pillars of sandstone that have left narrow openings with colorful names
like Fat Woman’s Squeeze.

You will find Hocking Hills State Park on Ohio SR 374 that connects all six areas of
Hocking Hills State Park, 10 miles west of Logan and US 33.
