Called the Father of the Revolution, Patrick Henry is remembered as an influential speaker who sparked the flames of treason which grew into a full-blown rebellion and then a war of independence.
Patrick Henry, Father of the Revolution painted by George Bagby Matthews, after Thomas Sully . Public domain image.
Patrick Henry was born on May 29, 1736 to John and Sara Winston Henry. Growing up, Patrick Henry was a very bright young man. He excelled in his schooling, and he was a very happy child.
In 1754 when he was 18, he took Sara Shelton to be his wife. As a wedding gift, her father gave them 6 slaves and three hundred acres of land to start their plantation. Patrick worked hard to cultivate the land and grow crops, but the soil wasn't very fertile, and the crops didn't really grow. They had to sell the land.
After his plantation failed, Patrick Henry tried to start a few different unsuccessful businesses before he finally began studying law. He gained the attention of many important people when he delivered a passionate speech denouncing two clergymen. After that, his career took off.
He was invited to speak at a few events before he was elected for the Louisa County House of Burgesses.
Only 9 short days after being sworn in, he introduced the Virginia Stamp Act Resolutions. This was considered an extreme display of rebellion at the time. The Resolutions were in response to the Stamp Act by King George III.
Henry knew that it would be a very controversial subject, so he waited to vote until there was a day when most of his opposition wouldn't be there. As a result, his proposal passed.
This was considered the most anti-British action to this point. It was one of the first catalysts of war.
In 1771 his wife Sara had the start of a disease which was never conclusively diagnosed. She began to be very forgetful; she would say disturbing things at inappropriate times; and finally she began to get violent. She was becoming dangerous to herself and those around her. Eventually they were forced to put her in a primitive form of a straitjacket.
Her doctor told Patrick that she needed to be put in a asylum, but after visiting a few he was appalled by what he saw. He had his basement turned into a small apartment for her and arranged for her to have private home care. This was devastating to him.
Peter F. Rothermel's "Patrick Henry Before the Virginia House of Burgesses", a painting of Patrick Henry's "If this be treason, make the most of it!" speech against the Stamp Act of 1765.
Patrick Henry was a member of both the first and second Continental Congress. He is now famous for fueling the vigor in the fight with his passionate words; "Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
According to Patrick Henry's first biographer, William Wirt, this was how the speech went. However, the first documentation of his speech was not written down until 40 years after he was dead.
According to Wirt, in response to Henry the crowd jumped to their feet and cried "To arms! To arms!" Later, however, Wirt's account was called to question, as contemporaries of Henry describe him as using fear of Indian and slave revolt to twist people's arms into going along with him.
It's also said that he resorted to insults and name-calling when faced with opposition; they say there was less inspiration and passion than there was manipulation and insults.
However, the one thing that cannot be denied is Patrick Henry was a great and energetic patriot. All through the revolution he fought the battles of the Congress to support the American cause, and many call him the Father of the Revolution.
In later years, he was elected governor of Virginia. As the new government of America was being installed, he was one of the leading opposers of the Constitution. He said it gave too much power to the President, and he feared that it could easily turn the new democracy into a monarchy.
Patrick Henry died a proud man on June 6, 1799, able to look back on his life, happy for what he had accomplished.

Why Insight Isn't Enough, Part 2
Dr George Simon, PhD Comment?
Photo by DewFrame - http://flic.kr/p/aqEsmt
For many people, just coming to a greater level of insight is not enough for them to make significant, lasting changes in behavior patterns that have been part of their preferred style for many years. Here's how one man found success with a systematic approach to changing both his thinking and his behavior.
I've written before on how different from traditional psychotherapy the work of change is for individuals who have significant personality and character disturbances. (See "The Work of Change: Why Insight is Never Enough".) Traditional "insight-oriented" therapies operate on the premise that most folks struggle with fears, insecurities, and other emotional conflicts that derive from past trauma and which — although largely out of their conscious awareness — underlie their dysfunctional behavior. So, providing them with an atmosphere in which they feel safe to let down defenses, sort through their innermost feelings, and reach new levels of awareness is key to helping them change and grow. But as I've pointed out, most disturbed characters are already quite aware about the things they do, why they do them, the consequences these things frequently incur, and the discomfort most other folks have with their behavior:
"Don't They See? Why the Disturbed Characters in Your Life Don't Seem to "Get It""
In Sheep's Clothing [Amazon-US | Amazon-UK](?)
Character Disturbance [Amazon-US | Amazon-UK](?)
Even in those cases where they might be lacking to some degree in awareness, just coming to a greater level of insight is usually not enough for them to make significant, lasting changes in behavior patterns that have been part of their preferred style of coping for many years.
Having focused for so long on helping people with various degrees of character disturbance change their ways, I've dealt with many individuals who were well versed in traditional therapy. It's quite common for a person with a character disturbance to have been pressured into getting professional help of one type or another several times, most often with disappointing results. One such individual, whom I'll call "John," had been in some form of insight oriented psychotherapy since early adolescence. (Note that for the purpose of ensuring anonymity, details of "John" have been altered and possibly combined with details from other, similar cases.) His autism features were so mild that despite the chronic difficulties he had as a child functioning in the social realm (many simply regarded him as introverted or "shy"), he was well into his late twenties before he was properly diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum. (Only recently has the professional community come to recognize that autism exists on a continuum of severity.) In addition to the biologically based aspects of his personality, he'd been raised in an abusive and neglectful environment and as a result learned to cope by becoming even more emotionally detached than he naturally tended to be, more than a little mistrusting of others, and extremely "controlling." John was also very intelligent and had good insight capacity. So, after many years of counseling, he'd become acutely aware of his socially dysfunctional proclivities. But the fact that he had such awareness but still had profound problems in his interpersonal relations made him quite depressed. He knew all too well the things he needed to do differently, but try as he may, he simply didn't know how to change, a circumstance that would naturally get anyone down.
Now in his mid-forties, and being in his first serious relationship, John was having some major problems, especially on a new job he'd managed to secure. He wasn't getting along with his co-workers or supervisors. He was a stickler for details and knew his policies and procedures manual like the back of his hand. But he also had a tendency to be intolerant with those who didn't do things strictly by the book and would annoy others by presuming to correct them. Because he was so used to doing these kinds of things, he wouldn't give his actions a second thought. Later, however, he would reflect on how hard the day had been, how he'd gotten into trouble, and how on the line he felt with his job and how unskilled he still was in dealing with others on an emotional level. This really depressed him but he didn't know what to do. On one of his first office visits, he said something like:
I know what you're going to say: I just should mind my own business and not be so suspicious and quick to go off on people but I just can't seem to help myself. I try to be more aware, and sometimes I do better for a while. But I'm always slipping back into my old ways. I try not to let folks see how this gets to me. In fact, they probably think I just don't care. But I don't know how to make myself do differently. Sometimes I wonder if there's any hope for me.
As I've mentioned before ("CBT and the Thinking Patterns of Disturbed Characters"), some of the fundamental guiding principles of the cognitive behavioral approach to helping people change are that the ways we think about things influence both our emotional states and the behaviors in which we're likely engage, and that we can always change the way we think. I've also spoken about the stepwise process some cognitive behaviorally oriented therapists employ to help folks "practice" newly learned behaviors more reliably:
"Breaking Bad Habits With the Behavioral Approach"
"Four Steps to Character Health"
John found renewed hope and comfort in the new approach we took to helping him cultivate better social interaction skills. He already had plenty of insight. What he needed was a systematic way to change both his thinking and behavior. He had some real difficulty with one of the key components of the method, often balking at the notion of affirming and reinforcing himself for all his efforts to challenge dysfunctional beliefs and initiate new behaviors. He'd seen himself as "defective" and unworthy for so long it simply didn't feel right to engage in this kind of self endorsement. But with encouragement, he "got with the program," learned to spot and correct his thinking errors, and in the process not only improved in his ability to relate to others but also developed a more positive mood than he'd ever experienced before in his life.
Now I don't mean to suggest that the work of change was easy for John. It wasn't. It would take several years before new behaviors became more second nature for him. But he eventually bridged the gap between what he'd long known needed to be different in his life and the tools he needed to make real change happen. John is perhaps today more insightful about himself and the nature of his unique challenges than he has ever been. But it's not his insight that's made all the difference. Acquiring the skills to relate to others in a manner that he once feared was impossible is what's really changed his life and in the process brought him both a confidence and joy he never thought possible.

Who doesn't love brighter, more evenly toned skin? Who doesn't love softer, smoother, more moisturized skin? Who doesn't love skin that looks like it's lit from within? Answer: No one doesn't love these things, that's who!
YBF is the brainchild of Darrell Owens. Since 2004, they've been making cruelty-free lotions and potions handcrafted from the highest quality active ingredients out there. You can use them on their own, but the genius lies in that YBF Concentrates are designed to amp up products you already own. They mix well with moisturizer, your daily sunscreen, face masks, and I've even added it to foundation to make my own tinted moisturizer. There really is no wrong way to add these to your daily skincare routine. These are a true beauty booster–they seriously kick your skincare routine up a notch, if not two.


The kaftan is part and parcel of the tradition of early Middle East fashion. It is a type of tunic or robe that is worn like an overcoat typically covering the ankles and arms. Traditionally they are made out of cashmere, wool, silk and worn with a sash. During the rule of the Ottoman rulers in Mesopotamia, the Sultans wore it as a sign of status and royalty. In West Africa, they came to be worn by both men and women. Look like a Sultana in this elegant dress.
Below is a pattern for making a chiffon kaftan top with lining. You are taught the process of creating a curved and narrow rolled hem, waistband casing, narrow French seams and curved lining necklines connections in the process of the tutorial.
This is a knee-length spring summer dress with a V neckline. It doesn't require you to go out and buy a pattern. The chosen fabric here is a mix of chiffon and silk. It is important for you to select a material that hangs freely and has a lot of movement as the shape of the dress stems from how it drapes around your body. The design is basic and you can make it fitted by tying it with yarn at the waist.
Sew your own handmade kaftan to feel accomplished and comfortable in the DIY outfit. Sometimes a flowy visual inspiration is all you need to get started. Follow the instructions in the tutorial to take the correct body measurements. It can be customized to any length. For a more form-fitting dress, insert a ribbon or elastic drawstring at the waistline.
A flattering, comfortable and fun cover-up would fare well as a beach cover-up. That it can be made in less than 30 minutes comes as a plus. Rayon would be a good choice for the fabric. The tiny pom poms along the borders lend a cute look.
This caftan suits many occasions. You can dress it up or down. Team it with sandal heels and enjoy with your love at a night out in town. You can wear it to the beach as a swimsuit cover-up. You can also wear them while relaxing at home or running errands.
While designing this no-sew kaftan ensure that you don't do anything that makes it look unflattering and frumpy. Be beachy chic all summer with this DIY. It suits day as well as night outings.
It is easy to sew kaftans that have gained popularity as comfort-wear. Though cotton would be the best material, you can try out acrylics and silks. The neck edge is done with a wide double fold bias tape and a matching thread.
The versatile dress can be worn as a top over denim, sleepwear (nighty) or a cover-up for the beach. Wear it as a sundress or a gown to unleash the Bohemian in you. Wear it to functions and parties and watch how heads turn in your direction.
You would need fabric about 60 inches wide for this one. Steer clear of quilting cotton/linen and go for soft silk or printed sheer fabric. A satin/silk bias tape is another requirement. Choose it in a color contrasting or matching the fabric.
The donut pattern makes it glam for summers. Get yourself a lounge chair and a pretty pink drink when you have this on. Bask under the sun on the beach with ultimate comfort. A sewing machine would make the sewing task a lot easier for you.
For making this kaftan, you just need to sew 3 seams. It is perfect for summer and effortlessly transitions from day to night wear. The simple pattern enables you to make it of any length. It is a colorful addition to your wardrobe for the warmer days.
Make a pair of scarves into a kaftan with a cold shoulder design. You can team it up with leggings and booties for a day out in town. The belt accentuates your figure.
Choose a fun print and bright colors for your kaftan. Start off with a fairly large piece of fabric. Choose a fabric that hangs nicely on you and gives shape to your figure since it is a pretty boxy dress.
Lend an Indian touch to the attire by choosing fabric with embroidery at the sleeves and the neck. The full length of the dress gives it volume and elegance. Wear it to parties assured that all eyes would be on you.
Instead of tying the middle of the kaftan shirt with a string or yarn as indicated in the video, you can insert an elastic band as shown in the image. Make 2 openings in the front for trying.
This kurti is made from a combination of a thin and thick fabric. The thin material sits on the top and the thick one forms the lining. You need around 2 meters of the lining with length 72 inches and width 33 inches. The project involves marking and cutting mainly.
Choose vivid colors for your kameez as it could easily brighten up any festive do. Heavy embroidery at the neck lends it an ornate look. Accessorize with bangles and earrings to up the glam quotient.
This dress is comfortable and feminine, perfect for summer. You can wear it as a nighty or as a cover-up before and after a dance performance. It is really easy to make as evident from the tutorial video.
If you don't know how to sew, then this step by step is for you. For this, you need 3 yards of fabric. First, lay it out flat and iron. Fold it in half with the good sides facing outward. Fold it in half once more thereby doubling the folds. Follow the rest of the instructions by clicking on the link above.
If you want to design your own bathrobe, you can do the folding, marking and cutting with towels.
Click on the above link to reach a Pinterest page. You will get the directions of making this kaftan on that page itself. There is no need to click on the "Visit" button to get redirected to another website.
The pretty flowy shape of this kaftan top hides your extra flab beautifully and accentuates your curves. It is easy to sew and takes just about 30 minutes. Wear it on summer nights to flatter your figure.
A hippie or boho style of kaftan is loved by many. The videos guide you on how to make it in sew and no-sew manners. In case a heat wave hits the place you are residing, this is an excellent attire to keep you cool. The long sleeves give it a breezy look.
Ladies would love to throw in some lace while designing the charming dresses. We are sure that you would vouch for the Indian patterns any day. The long and butterfly patterns would find a lot of takers. Whether you are a pro at sewing or not, we have your back.

Desantis Sends Envoy Off to Martha's Vineyard, To Make Good On Promises Made (Video)
By vanessa September 17, 2022
Governor Ron DeSantis is not "monkeying around" when it comes to promises made to protect his state from illegal migration, and he has liberals going off the rails since the news broke last night that he was sending two planes of illegal aliens to Marthas Vineyard.
DeSantis: "We're not a sanctuary state… What would be the best is for Biden to do his damn job and secure the border!"pic.twitter.com/IlnQXdQKY0
— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) September 15, 2022
A video provided by Ron DeSantis'office clearly shows the migrants deboarding the planes at Martha'sVineyard Airport in Massachusetts Wednesday evening.
"states like Massachusetts, New York, and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as "sanctuary states and support for the Biden administration's open border policies," said the governor's communications director, Taryn Fenske, who spoke on behalf of Ron DeSantis.
In Florida'slast legislative session, the state legislature allocated $12 million for a program that would facilitate the transport of illegal immigrants from Florida to any sanctuary destination, which is consistent with the law. Why can't progressives fathom this? Florida'simmigration relocation program also targets human traffickers found in the state of Florida but also prevents illegals from coming to the state.
The office of Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker said that it was aware of the situation and that the arrivals are being provided with short-term shelter.
DeSantis had initially suggested sending the envoy to Delaware or Martha's Vineyard. Still, his office said that at the time, the illegals could also be sent "to other progressive states whose governors endorse blatant violations of federal immigration law." The states that offer sanctuary through failed progressive policy-making are now bountiful.
"It is not the responsibility of Floridians to subsidize aliens to reside in our state unlawfully; we did not consent to Biden's open-borders agenda," the governor's office said back in November.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott also started rerouting illegal immigrants by the thousands to Washington DC in April. The migrant crisis flooding over from the border was overwhelming border states like Texas and Arizona. In August, buses from Texas were being rerouted to New York City and Chicago, to which Eric Adams, New York's mayor, had initially responded in exasperation over the number of migrants the proclaimed "sanctuary city" was not prepared for and led to the city sheltering over 5,000 migrants in luxury hotels.
The very elusive and very useless Vice President Kamala Harris had been placed in charge of the border crisis in 2021 but has done nothing to date to do anything about the situation, and in fact, declared this week that the US Southern border is secure while her administration officials estimate that an average of about 55,000 so-called "gotaways" each month make it through the border and into the United States unchecked, and unaccounted for.
What I find most hypocritical in all this is that representatives like Massachusetts state Rep. Dylan Fernandes claim that what Republican governors are doing is not Christian. He said, "Ths is about as unChristian a thing as you could be doing. It's evil." Which most of us find rich, considering he is a representative from a state that expanded abortion access after 24 weeks and removed parental consent requirements for 16- and 17-year-olds. If Democrats are going to draw comparisons to Christian faith and ideologies, they might want first to check their integrity and their own Christian morale.

A lot of people are nervous about driving in Portugal for the first time, but it's actually not that bad. Sure, indicating isn't all that common, people do drive bumper-to-bumper, and Portugal does have one of the highest accident rates in Western Europe, but it's actually alright. In fact, Portugal can be a very enjoyable place to drive.
A lot depends on what you're used to. If you normally drive in the UK, Germany, or the USA, you may find the driving in Portugal slightly erratic and disorganised. If you're used to driving in other parts of Europe, and especially in other parts of the world, driving in Portugal will be very manageable.
The following are just a few rules, tips, and safety pointers for driving in Portugal.
You'll need to make sure the following items are in your car whenever you're driving.
Driving licence with photo ID (if your driving licence doesn't have a photograph, you'll need to get an international driving permit).
Permission slip showing that you have permission to drive that car (templates are available from Afpop).
Note: you're supposed to carry photo ID on you at all times, regardless of whether you're driving or not. You can get breakdown kits on amazon.co.uk or amazon.es.
If you're bringing your dog with you in the car, the dog needs to be kept from getting into the front of the car and interfering with you driving.
A restraining lead that clips to the seatbelt (available on amazon.co.uk or amazon.es).
A travel kennel or crate.
It's always a good idea to have GPS in your car, not just for long journeys but also for getting you out of confusing cities. That isn't necessarily just Lisbon or Porto, even smaller cities like Portimão in the Algarve can be confusing to drive around.
These days, it's no longer necessary to buy a Sat Nav as most there are great GPS apps like Scout for both Android and iOS. Google Maps and Waze are also fantastic, although you normally need to have a 3G connection to use them (you don't need a 3G connection for Scout).
If you're renting a car, you can normally hire a GPS unit from the car rental company if you don't want to rely on your phone. Although this is more expensive than just downloading an app, it's often easier to use and may be better for the "technologically impaired".
It's also a good to have a GPS app on your phone that can display your GPS coordinates. I've broken down in Spain in the middle of nowhere and, with no recognisable landmarks nearby, and wasn't really able to tell the roadside assistance where to come and find me. Although that's more of an issue in Spain than in Portugal, I've since installed an app that gives me my GPS coordinates just in case that ever happens again.
Portuguese drivers don't really like to indicate unless it's absolutely necessary. Keep an eye on the drivers around you, and assume that they won't really give you any warning of what they're about to do.
For whatever reason, they especially don't like to indicate when coming off or going onto roundabouts or when overtaking you (although sometimes they'll indicate after they've dangerously overtaken you and an accident is looking likely).
Portuguese drivers like to get up close and personal when they're driving, and sometimes it feels like you're driving bumper-to-bumper. This isn't necessarily aggressive (unless you're blocking up the overtaking lane, in which case it probably is), it's just that they can't handle seeing an empty space between two cars.
If you want to stop this, your best option is to first check that there's space in front and then to slow down a little. This tends to annoy Portuguese drivers, but only enough that they'll overtake you and take that space in front of you. Of course, then someone else will then come up behind you and get bumper to bumper and the whole process starts again.
Note: Don't slam on the brakes suddenly as some people like to do. Although this gets your point across, it's very dangerous and could result in you getting rear-ended by the driver behind you.
Although you may be driving at the speed limit, maybe you're even driving over it, you're not going to be going fast enough for some Portuguese drivers. There are just some drivers here who can't stand the thought of being behind another car, even if the car in front is speeding as well.
Just accept it, slow down, and let them overtake you.
Although there are speed limits on the roads in Portugal, you'll rarely see speed cameras or police to enforce them. That's not to say there aren't occasionally speed cameras or hidden police; it's just that they're not that common. It also doesn't mean that everyone speeds in Portugal: some people keep to the speed limit and some drivers (particularly older drivers) stay well below it.
If you've held your driving licence for less than one year, you shouldn't go faster than 90 km/h (although this is rarely enforced).
Although Portugal has very strict drink driving laws, that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. In fact, it can be very common in rural parts of Portugal. That doesn't mean that you should "do as the locals do", however: two drunk drivers are a lot more likely to cause an accident than just one.
In Portugal, the law is that you can have no more than 50 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood. Learner, novice, and commercial drivers can only have 20 mg which essentially means they shouldn't drink.
You'll see a lot of interesting vehicles on Portuguese roads, but three of the most interesting are the sigano (gypsy) horse and carts, Aixam cars, and Piaggio Ape vehicles.
Those last two are normally below 125 CC, which means they can legally be driven without a licence in some conditions and on some rural roads. You'll often see them driving half in the ditch and half on the road. This is partly because they can't get up the same speed as a normal car, but also because they're legally not allowed to drive on some roads (and keep half the car in the ditch is some kind of legal grey area).
You'll also see a lot of beaten up, barely road-legal cars in rural parts of Portugal. These aren't a big deal during the day, but can be a problem at night particularly if they're missing a light or two.
Normally, when you join a motorway, there's a long slipway where you can get up speed and join the motorway at roughly the same speed as the other cars. This isn't always the case in Portugal.
In Portugal, motor slipways are often incredibly short and are more like a T-junction (sometimes called a 3-way intersection) than a motorway slipway. If there's a lot of traffic on the motorway, you'll actually have to stop your car, join the motorway, and then get up to speed.
Another unique feature on Portuguese roads is that the motorway exit and entrance are right next to each other – often just 100-150 metres apart – and are part of the same piece of road. As you come off the road, you'll pull into the "coming off lane" but this also happens to be the "joining the motorway lane".
To avoid an accident, you don't want to come off to early otherwise you risk coming into contact with someone that's joining the motorway. Don't pull in to early, keep an eye out for cars that are joining the motorway, and don't join it until you can see that it's safe to do so.
Driving in cities, especially Lisbon and Porto, is tough and not recommended. The streets are narrow, incredibly steep, and often you'll not only be sharing the road with other cars, but also buses and trams. Tourists often tend to walk out in front of cars as well, particularly if the traffic is moving slowly.
It can also be very difficult to park in Portuguese cities, particularly if you have a large car. Parallel parking is an important skill to have, and you'll often have to combine it with parking on a hill.
Portugal isn't sunny all of the time. In fact, large parts of the country are actually wet for a lot of the year. Despite this, Portugal just isn't designed for the rain.
You'll see this on the pavements in Portugal, which get incredibly slippery when they're wet. You'll also notice that there's not a lot to do in Portugal when it rains.
There are also a lot more accidents on the roads when it rains. Whether this is that the roads don't cope well with the rain or that the Portuguese themselves aren't great at driving in the rain is up for debate. Either way, you're much more likely to get in an accident when it rains.
Portugal has quite a few electronic toll roads, which are a great idea in theory but paying for them can be confusing and often time-consuming as it often involves a trip to the post office.
If you're renting a car, the easiest thing that you can do is hire a transponder device for your car from the car rental company. This normally costs €1-2 per day, plus the cost of the tolls which is automatically deducted from your credit card whenever you use them.
You don't have to rent the transponder device, of course. You can avoid the toll roads altogether, or you could use them and sort out payment at the end.
Don't worry: there's an entire article dedicated to (hopefully) explaining the Portuguese toll roads.
Foreign bank cards, both credit and debit, don't always work in Portugal, and I've found this to be the case at the electronic tolls and also at the prepay petrol pumps (normally the card readers in the actual station work fine, though).
As a general rule, I normally try to have some cash on me at all times in Portugal and especially when I'm driving. If you forget to bring some with you, most petrol stations have a small ATM inside.
In Portugal, you'll sometimes see people standing by empty parking spaces who are waving and pointing them out to you. Yes, these people want money for their service and it's up to you whether you pay them or not. Most people give a euro or two which, is much cheaper than risking your car getting scratched.
In Portugal, double parking is quite common. Normally this is just temporary, particularly if the driver is making a delivery or picking someone up, but occasionally it's not.
All you need to do is indicate and carefully drive around them.
It's illegal to cross the road to park in Portugal and, when you park, your car should be facing the direction of travel. If you see a good space on the other side of the road, you'll need to find the next roundabout or place that you can legally turn and cross over to the other side of the road.
Portugal has a very confusing roundabout law: the furthest right lane can only be used if you're taking the first exit. This means that, if you're going straight over and it's a 2-lane roundabout, you can only use the right lane if it's the 1st exit on the roundabout.
It's quite rare that the "straight over exit" is the 1st exit on a roundabout (normally it's at least the 2nd) so, as a general rule, you should use the middle lane for going straight over.
It's quite common to find a pedestrian (zebra) crossing at the end of the road, just as it connects to the roundabout. This isn't so much a problem when you're joining the roundabout, but it's something to watch out for when you're coming off the roundabout.
In Portugal, petrol is gasolina and diesel is gasóleo. The petrol handle is also normally green while the diesel handle is normally yellow.
If you're driving to Portugal through Spain, it's worth filling up in Spain as fuel there is much cheaper than it is in Portugal. Many Portuguese people who live near the Spanish-Portuguese border regularly drive across to fill up their cars.
Modern cars can be confusing so, if you can, familiarise yourself with the car before you set off. It's much better to get to grips with the car at the car rental area than on the road.
I've had a few confusing cars over the years: one where I couldn't work out how to start it (I had to press the clutch and brake together while turning the key), and the other where I couldn't work out how to reverse (there was a button under the gearstick handle).
Regardless of what the quirk is, these things are best discovered at the car rental section of the airport and not on the road.
Normally car rental companies will show you the car and, together, you'll mark down all the bumps and scratches. This doesn't always happen, though, which is why it's always important to take photographs of the car while it's still in the car rental premises. If you notice any marks that aren't noted on your rental agreement, be sure to speak to someone before driving away.
Some parts of Portugal, like Madeira and parts of the Douro and Northern Portugal, are exceptionally hilly and it might be worth spending a little more on your rental car and getting something with a bigger engine. You don't have to spend a lot more necessarily, just don't go for the cheapest option.
If you're planning on crossing the border, and driving to Spain, check that your rental agreement covers that.
Most car rental companies only insure you to drive in Portugal. If you want to drive in Spain, you'll need to purchase an insurance add-on that allows you to do so. This normally shows as one of the upsells like babyseats and a GPS system just before you pay for your rental car online.
In Portugal, and in most of Europe, most people drive manual (stick shift) cars. Car rental companies tend to only stock manual cars as well, although most of the larger car rental companies will have a handful of automatic cars available.
Handful is the keyword here. There are very few automatic cars in Portugal so, if you think you're going to need one, be sure to book in advance as they go quickly.
Not something I know enough about, I'm afraid. I know of people who have imported cars from other European countries, and that can be complicated. I imagine it would be best to find a company that can help you do this and get a quote rather than trying to do the paperwork yourself.
Hi James, i'm from Australia & I'm heading to the UK next week and am going to buy a Campervan which i'm then going to drive from the calais crossing to Brussels, Paris, Geneva, Lake Como, Milan, through the south of France across to San Sebastian on to Portugal (Porto I'd say). Helluva a journey ahead, Aiming for it to take around the 4 week mark.
Any advice, recommendations tips would be muchly appreciated mate.
Also as far as getting insurance goes, what is the needed policy if you know ?
That sounds like an incredible trip.
As far as insurance goes, it should be pretty straight-forward because you're staying within Europe and you're only going to be out of the UK for a month (I assume you're going back soon after Portugal/selling the camper?).
For cars, there are some limits on how long you can spend outside of the UK. Normally 90 days, but sometimes 180 days. I imagine it's a bit longer for campers (I think you can get 365 day motorhome insurance). Brexit might affect all of that one day, but if your trip is only for 4 weeks or so it shouldn't be anything to worry about.

How can I mend my Nokia 6300?
My lg washing machine flashig error code OE?
Fantastic input to all ! Opened the lower left trap door that I never knew existed. After the huge gush of water drained, I removed the filter and found a 15 hair fur ball and shoulder padding from a ladies jacket stuffed in the filter. Cleaned it out. Cleaned up the mess from the flood of water and now everything is back to normal. Thanks to all for your fabulous input ! Caveat, prepare for a flood of water from the tub if the washer is full !!!!
Got an 0E error on my LG WM2487HRMA washer and it would not drain. Cleaned the filter and ran water through all the drain pipes and found them to be slightly clogged so I cleared the clogs out.
Still got the error so I removed the drain pump. The pump looked fine and not gunked up but when I pulled the impeller off I saw the magnet on the impeller shaft had a half inch piece cracked off. Ordered a replacement pump.
Cleaned the filter which was totally clogged. Error went away. Thanks for directions below. Glad I did not have to muck with the motor, etc.
Our LG WM2010C filter drain tube (next to the clean out, lower left front access panel) was completely plugged with sand. After using a plastic Zip Tie to augur out sand by twisting it farther into the tube and removing the sand, and squeezing the tube with pliers a little to break up/soften the packed sand, eventually the sand got wetter as it got closer to the backup up water. After a while of this, I was able to blow on the black rubber tube, and it broke air through the sand. I got a sip of water and then forced water into the tube, and it flowed back out into the main drain basket port. I didn't know where the black rubber drain tube went at first, but it seems it's just the overflow from the drain basket, and not going feet back into the washer somewhere. So now the drain tube is free and clear again.
Anyone have good instructions for how to get to the pump in order to clean it? The instructions with the machine only seem to give me very limited access.
I know what the problem is, I washed my sons pants after fishing and my small hose is completely impacted with sand. Do I have to replace the hose? How would I get the hose off to clean it? I am a single woman and not that handy.
My washing machine would not spin, would not drain, and displayed OE.
Drained it out manually, but water would not drain from drum,cleaned the filter at the front, still same problem.
Stripped the machine down, checked both pumps, pumps looked and rotated the same.
checked the rubber connection betweem pump and drum and found a sock blocking the pipe (water drain pipe).
ok so ive done all the cleaning of pumps and filters and still every 3 washers oe message , turn off machine out on a spin and it works .. could this be a programme fault ?
i'm having problems with lg pump impeller falling off. No debris in pump. I removed pump and took apart by removing 3 screws to find impeller no longer attached to shaft. pump shaft has an o-ring that sits in a groove on inside of impeller and groove and o-ring look great. I 'snap' it back on and can hold pump by the impeller without it falling off, yet, machine will only drain for 10 to 20 minutes before impeller detaches from shaft. Is there any way to keep the impeller from seperating from the shaft without simply buying a whole new motor?
My problem ended up being powdered detergent "sludge" clogging the drain hose between the tub and the pump. I removed the hose, which is about 2" diameter from the pump, the tub, and another connection and rinsed it clean. There was also a lot of the same sludge in the bottom of the tub when i reached my fingers in there. Put it back together, and it worked!
Shoot! I checked all the hoses, the filter, the impeller. There wasn't anything left to check so I figured the pump went out. Ordered a new pump. Just installed it and it did not help.
Thank you! This helped alot. One would think this would be pointed out by the installer. The door is at the front of the washer. I would suggest clearing it after every wash day pretty much like you would a dryer vent. This would fall under preventative maintenance. These machines can be so tempermental.
Where is impeller exactly located. I have the LG front load with drain filter on bottom left of washing machine.
I just unplugged the pump today by blowing backward on the drain hose as hard as I could.
Oh I wish mine was as easy as these. Mine used to OE when the filter was blocked/full of fluff etc. Then it started to do it all the time. (2 months after teh 5yr warrenty ran out). Lots of the pipes were full of gunk, cleaned them - same. Have just spent 70quid on a new pump - still failed with OE. run out of ideas now. Looks like the mrs will get her own way and we will buy a new one.
i have removed the pump twice out of my LG washer/dryer. The first time, cotton lint had balled itself up and blocked the impeller. the second time the impellers were clear, but after closer inspection i found that the impeller assembly was easily removed! just behind the impeller there is a collar that can be separated from the pump. it is held in by the magnets of the motor. i found TONS of gunk behind the impeller.... check it out!
Angled mine over removed the 3 screws securing the pump and found a cadbury cream egg metal foil wrapper wedged in my pump.
my Lg washer filter was clogged with all kinds of things. Mostly lint. After cleaning the filter it is working great.
Had the same issue today. Drained the water from the pipe in the lower front. Twisted open the filter next to it and cleaned it. It works just fine after the effort.
I also flipped it on it's side, took the pump apart and found a single dime. Everything works great now.
Ty very much!! It was a "Clean and straighten the drain hose" solution. My machine works perfect now.I use a thin piece of metal which help me pull out many little things that were blocking the hose.
Having the same trouble with my machine, tried draining it, flushing it through with water and everything i could think of but it kept saying OE error, drainage problem.
So l took John's and advice just did the same thing, turned the machine on it's side. Took the pump out, undid the 3 screws and found a piece of Aero wrapper and a penny inside. Put it all back together and everything is Kool 'n' the gang.
This was very helpfull. My pump had one of my daughters hair clips in it. I have removed it and washing machine is working perfectly.
OE : Drain Hose is Kinked or clogged or The Drain Filter is clogged - Clean and straighten the drain hose / clean the drain filter.
My LG1372 FHB has the same fault and it isn't blocked - am looking at the pump next!!
- checked the hoses (drain hose) and the pump filter but it didn't cure the problem.
So i turned the damned thing upside down and stripped the pump out of it - sure enough there was a piece of cotton cord wrapped around the impellor - remove it and everything is OK!!
The question: My lg washing machine flashig error code OE?
where is the fues on the 605 encore ?
Indesit IWC 6145 not working?
Spin cycle is intermittent, works one day or one cycle then not another?
Bosch Exxcel 1200 express washing machine.?
Loud banging on spin setting?

BURKE'S PASS
Water colour painted about 1880 by Rev. James Preston. The original is in the Canterbury Museum. The view is from the hotel looking down the road on the way to Fairlie with Mt McLeod in distance. St Patrick's Church at Burkes Pass is not depicted in the painting. The second cottage on the right is Alma Cottage but it is curious because it has a three gable roof which it never had - artist licence probably.
Lower left quadrant the Rollesby Valley Rd crosses a creek then and comes into Burkes Pass with a T intersection with Hwy 8. Opihi River to the right of the road. Across Hwy 8 there is Paddys Market Stream, (not the first but 2nd steam) heading down to a group of pine trees. The heights of the hills on the ridge to the centre right are 787m (2562ft) , 802m (2631ft) (to the right of the group of pine trees) and dropping down to 676m (2218ft). Looking down the valley towards Kimbell is Mt. Dobson, 2nd peak from the right, at 2095m ( 6873ft) capped with snow down to 1500ft (5000ft). Mt Burgess is to the left at 1106m (3628.6m) just after Ross Stream and Aries Station on the right. May 1951. "Whites Aviation Collection, Alexander Turnbull Library". WA-28110-F. Just around the end of the hills centre right is the site of Dornie, Smart/Willetts farm out of sight in this photo. On the left of the road the sloping fields were the site of intensive trapping in the 1940s. Carry on and you are at Horseshoe Corner and the crossing of the Opihi to Ashwick.
BURKE'S PASS, in the Fairlie riding of Mackenzie county, is on the way from Fairlie to Mount Cook, and is the last township on the route. It is picturesquely situated amongst mountain ranges, and stands at an elevation of 1780 feet above the level of the sea. From the top of the Pass-2500 feet above sea level- a grand view of the celebrated Mackenzie country is obtained, with the enclosing mountains on all sides. A few miles farther, at a higher elevation, Lake Tekapo bursts into sight in all the beauty of its broad waters. Burke's Pass township has a public school, a church, a blacksmith's shop, a store, a bi-weekly mail service by coach, and a telegraph station. It is fifty-two miles from Timaru, and thirteen from Fairlie, and is well planted with trees, amongst which nestle cosy cottages. The population numbers about 100.
BURKE'S PASS PUBLIC SCHOOL is built of wood and iron, on concrete foundations. There are two convenient class rooms with accommodation for seventy children. Thirty-seven names are on the roll, and the average attendence is thirty-four. The school dates from 1879, and is situated on a section of five acres of land. There is a fine plantation, which covers two acres.
HAYMAN, FREDERICK JAMES, in charge of Burke's pass school, was born in Somerset, England, in 1860. He arrived in New Zealand with his parents in the ship "Blue Jacket," when he was about four years old and was educated in Canterbury. In 1900 he was appointed to his present school. Mr Hayman was married, in 1882 to a daughter of Mr. A. Bunting, of Sefton, and had four sons and two daughters.
BURKE'S PASS HOTEL, (Donald McMillan, proprietor), Burke's Pass. This hotel was established in 1866, and is situated twelve miles from Fairlie, the present terminus of the railway. The main route to the Mackenzie Country and Mount Cook is through Burke's Pass, and during the tourist season the mail coach and its passengers passes this hotel four times a week, The hotel contains twenty well furnished rooms, and there are chairs for forty persons in the well ventilated and comfortable dinning-room. Mr. McMillan has had considerable experience in hotel keeping, and began at Tekapo, where he had amongst his patrons Lord and Lady Onslow and party, Bishop Julius, and Mrs Julius and party. At his present hotel at Burke's Pass he has enlarged pictures of Lord and Lady Onslow, who personally sent their portraits to Mr McMillan in commemoration of their visit to his house.
McMILLAN, DONALD, the Proprietor, was born at Stornoway, in the Island of Lewis, in 1844, and in his early years he followed a seafaring life. He came to New Zealand in 1865 in the ship "Helenslea," and followed pastoral life, chiefly in the Mackenzie Country. He took a second trip home in 1881, and came back to the colony during the following year. Mr McMillan was married, in 1875, to Miss McDowell, and they have five daughters and two sons. The eldest son, while still quite a boy, distinguished himself as a bagpipe player, and gained first prize in good company at Timaru.

June 3. This remote corner of civilisation has been sadly neglected hitherto in your columns, and possibly many of your readers have a somewhat hazy idea, of the snug little hamlet nestling coyly under one of the arms of the great Two Thumbs range at the southern entrance of the pass through into the real Mackenzie Country - a vast stretch of plain wholly, surrounded by high hills on the north-west sides by the celebrated mountains that so long defied the abilities and pluck of some of the most renowned Alpine climbers. There, amongst those majestic heights, can be seen the finest mountain scenery in the world; but I must not lay myself open to the accusation of being led away by admiration for the beautiful slopes, the rugged tops, the shooting avalanches, the sparkling cascades, the rushing torrents, the wonders of the glaciers, etc., etc. Burkes Pass, named so after the presumed discoverer of the opening some 50 years ago, is a pretty little township, boasting of its village smith in the person of Mr Souness, whose good qualities, I warrant, are well remembered by the Taieri people; a couple of stores; a public school, where some two score or more of the young ideas are taught by Mr Werry and his assistant, Mr Cartwright; its post office, with its squeaky wire connected so that it can hold social communication with lonely Tekapo or bustling Fairlie. This little resort can also boast of a commodious hospice, under the care of the genial old Donald M'Millan and his "guid wife," who makes her guests as comfortable as only a kindly woman can do. On the little hill close by has stood for the last quarter of a century a little edifice wherein worship is regularly held, chiefly by Mr Comria, the district minister, and on set occasions the Rev. Mr Hinson, of Geraldine, holds divine worship, christens not a few babies, and occasionally encircles a fond couple in the holy bonds of wedlock. We are well provided for in the way of shelter, for our little village justified in being proud of residents whose energy might well be admired by folks who live in towns of more ambitious pretensions. There are a number of cottages here pleasing to the eye and comfortable to live in; and though we are out in the back blocks, we are not not of the world, for we get our mails regularly three times a week. Anything appertaining to amusement is well appreciated here, as witness the high old time that was indulged in on the night of the 2nd inst., on the occasion of the spinsters' ball. A large crowd assembled and partook of the good things provided, and the way they enjoyed themselves must have been most gratifying to the fair givers of the feast. Never before did the schoolroom resound with so much jollification, and I am sure there was only room for two regrets - one by the old that they could not become young again, and the other by the young that the night was too short. Were I a married man I could convince the outside world that we have plenty of taste as well as an eye for the beautiful, but as I have no inclination to play the role of a critic on dress, I leave the young ladies' costumes severely alone, as well as their handiwork in connection with the decorations of the hall, and dismiss the subject with the hope that they will not overlook the writer on future occasions, or he will undoubtedly seriously consider the question of altering the state of his existence.
On Dit.- It is reported that several changes have taken place in the Mackenzie Country namely, that Mr Winter has been promoted by the New Zealand Loan Company from the charge of the Balmoral property to "a place in the north" ; also that Mr L. M'Donald has resigned the working managership of Glenlion station, being succeeded by Mr Alexander M'Rae, of Benmore station, and now has joined "The Macs' Company."

Monday's nor' wester did some damage in the Mackenzie County. At Fairlie some trees were blown down, and the air was thick with soil blown off cultivated land. At Burke's Pass a house belonging to Mr M. Keefe was almost unroofed, and Mr Sibbald's woolshed was blown down. A number of men were in the sheds at the time taking shelter from the gale, and one of them, named Alexander Blackwood, was struck by the falling roof and considerably hurt. He was taken to Fairlie and attended by Dr. Dryden next day. The coach from Fairlie to Tekapo was brought to a standstill a few miles beyond the Pass, and had to stop until the gale abated. The coach from Pukaki arrived at the Pass on Tuesday, and the driver reported that there had been a very strong gale down the Tasman Valley, but no damage was done. The wind continued to blow but not violently on Tuesday morning, and about 3 p.m. chopped round suddenly to the south-west and brought up copious showers of rain. The front ranges received a late coat of snow.

The Timaru Post says : A waggoner engaged in carting wool from the Mackenzie Country to the Fairlie railway station, had a unique, not to say thrilling, experience one day last week. He was coming down the long cutting beyond Burkes Pass, driving a waggon laden with thirty odd bales of wool. When some considerable distance from the bottom the tyre of one of the hind wheels came off. It raced past the horses without touching them, and, taking the turnings in good style, kept on the road. It had gathered sufficient momentum to carry it nearly to the top of the next rise. It then rolled back, and after see sawing about a few times went to sleep in the hollow. The break on the waggon in the meantime ceased to act, owing to the loss of the tyre the horses, were, of course, unable to hold back the cumbrous load. The waggoner, however, did not loose his nerve, and succeeded in keeping the leaders clear and the wheelers on their feet. The bottom of the hill was reached at a gallop, the tyreless wheel, strange to say, keeping intact. The owner at Fairlie was telephoned, and a man with a screwjack was sent up. It was found that the tyre could not be wedged on to the injured wheel. As a last resource an old dray wheel was borrowed from a resident near Burkes Pass, and it was found to be a perfect fit. The load reached Fairlie that night safe and sound, both the waggoner and the proprietor consider themselves lucky men, and justly so, all possibilities being taken into consideration.

Look at that beautiful blue sky. Is that so far away?
Once over the pass good progress is made to Lake Tekapo.
Pine tree at the left back. Silver birch to the far right. In 1910 the Council had extensive planting of trees in hand; already there were between three and four hundred acres planted � chiefly larch and spruce and some pinus ponderosa � and the work is being steadily advanced Pinus Coulteri and Pinus Ponderosa have large cones and both are North American West Coast natives as is their relative Pinus Insignis. P.Insignis is the major NZ N.I. specie in NZ but P. Ponderosa was the preferred specie for Mackenzie County Council plantings at least back in the 1930s & 40s. The trees are easy to spot on the side of the road when driving to Tekapo from Burkes Pass - they have long needles and a little paler green. There is a Pinus Coulteri at Dog Kennel Corner and one at parking area at Lake Tekapo the town side of the new footbridge.
The Lake Tekapo Regional Park on the eastern shore of Lake Tekapo down Lilybank Rd is predominantly a coniferous forest planted with Pinus contorta (Lodgepole), Pinus nigra (Corsican) and Pinus ponderosa (Ponderosa); and Larix decidua (European larch) being the main species. There are lesser numbers of secondary pines species including silver birch, oak and Australian gum species. Extensive tree planting was carried out by the Lake Tekapo Young Farmers, Waitaki Catchment Commission, Ministry of Works & Development and the New Zealand Forest Service and continued until 1976 with a total of approximately 385,000 trees. map.

The record stood at 30 hours 51 minutes, but when the team, led by Neil McGrigor reached the Royal Yacht Squadron at approximately 10am this morning, their time of 27 hours 10 minutes toppled it.
Neil McGrigor, Tony Jenvey, Jeremy Watts and John Guile are currently recovering with, no doubt, several glasses of champagne!

With a devastating sense of humor, Julia Deck composes a debut novel that starts as a crime story but mutates into vaudeville.
