This project began in September, 1978, at the suggestion of Dan Schler, UCD coordinator of the Western Colorado Rural Communities Program. The program, funded by the Kellogg Foundation, provides technical, educational, and community development assistance to western slope towns.
The need in Carbondale is to preserve the existing character of the town while providing for anticipated growth. Because of its charm, the commercial core of the town has the capability of being a discretionary shopping center for the Roaring Fork Valley. If this is going to happen, though, community involvement is needed at many levels.
The first step in the design process was to study the town from a "participant observer" point of view. This involved discussions with many individuals in Carbondale and the Roaring Fork Valley, attendance at meetings, reading, and research.
From individual discussions, a consensus evolved: downtown Carbondale is in danger of being lost to "strip" commercial development alonq Highway 133. The need to take action was felt, the energy level was high, but no grouo existed to direct thoucht and activity.
In April, a germinal group was formed. Although it developed under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce, the Carbondale Council for the Arts and Humanities, the Valley Journal newspaper, property owners, and private citizens were also represented. Several ideas were presented to and discussed by the group, and people began to take action.
At this writing, several steps in town revitalization (Phase 1) are underway. The most exciting part of community development is that it never stops. As long as the energy level can maintain itself, positive progress and changes can he made.
Carbondale's first known permanent settlers were William Dinkel and R. W. Zimmerman, who built a cabin and began raising livestock here in 1882. By 1883, the valley boasted a population of about twenty families. Dinkel's cabin soon became a store and stage stop for the newly opened stage road.
In 1887, two of the new settlers, William and Ellery Johnson, platted the town, naming it Carbondale after their home town in Pennsylvania.
and farming, attracted more and more settlers into the valley.
Bill Dinkel moved his store into town and in 1892 replaced it with the brick building which is standing today. Carbondale then boasted fifteen saloons, and the shops kept only the finest goods.
In spite of its elaborate plans, the Aspen and Western Railroad completed only thirteen miles of narrow gauge track from Carbondale to the Thompson Creek mines. Both railroading and mining suffered a setback with the panic of 1893 and the severe depression that followed it. Potato farms sprung up in the valley during the depression, and potatoes became the economic mainstay of the valley's economy.
Potato Days, the longest standing celebration in the community, began in 1909.
The fortunes of Carbondale have always followed those of both the region and the nation. The depression of the 1930's triggered a decline in Carbondale's business and population. The only bank in town moved to Glenwood Springs, taking important financial activity with it. The railroad, which had been struggling to stay in existence, finally closed altogether, and the track along the river was pulled up and sold for scrap. An era of growth and liveliness came to a close with the end of the railroad which had started it.
In recent years, the bleak picture of forty years ago has changed dramatically. The steady rapid growth of Aspen has had a major impact on the entire valley. Increased tourism has brought an increase in trade and raised property values.
likelihood of continued growth will have an increasing impact on the town of Carbondale, which depends on the mines to employ forty per cent of its work force.
Population growth seems inevitable over the next several years, with over 7,000 units of housing currently planned for the lower end of the valley alone. Because of its location in the valley, Carbondale has the potential for serving as a regional commercial center, attracting business from Glenwood Springs, Basalt, and other nearby areas.
The commercial core of Carbondale is the district which has traditionally served as the central shopping area.
It has a unique character and ambienc* which are not found in more modern "shopping center" developments, because they have evolved slowly as the town has evolved. There is a sense among many townspeople that the unique flavor of the old town area should be preserved. It is the purpose of this project to encourage and direct the development and use of Carbondale's commercial core, so that its identity is preserved and enhanced through the coming years.
The information on the following pages summarizes the existing character and condition of the town of Carbondale, with emphasis focused on the zoned commercial core.
Zoning The town zoning map was adopted September 18, 1978.
Land Use This map summarizes the existing use of land area within the town boundaries.
Existing Building Use Residential vs. commercial use of buildings within the commercial core are shown.
Sheds, garages, and trailers are not included.
Views & Vistas Important views and vistas into and out of the town are summarized here.
Architectural Quality This map is an abbreviated analysis of use and condition of downtown buildings.
Nodes are activity generators toward which one's attention is drawn.
An edge is a natural or man-made feature which establishes a definite boundary.
A path is a channel for movement.
Landmarks are important reference points.
The district boundary is a hazy line defining the perceived central business district of the town.

A more subjective informationgathering process is through the use of cognitive maps. This technique is simple; people are simply asked to draw maps of the town from memory. All of these maps were drawn by high school students. They show which elements of the town's physical environment are important to them. It is interesting to note that the commercial core of Carbon-dale is shown in greater detail and with more accuracy than any other area. This was true of every map drawn. What this indicated is that the downtown area is an important element in the town's social and physical geography. Further, the downtown area is instantly recognized as an entity.
When all of these bits of information, subjective and objective, are put together and analyzed, they result in a coherent picture of the current environment of downtown Carbondale. Translating the information into the visual vocabulary of space, views, pattern, and history brings into focus those elements which contribute to Carbondale's downtown character, as well as those which detract from it.
The intersection of 4th and Main Streets is the main crossroads of town. It is the visual center of Carbondale, and is visually defined by two buildings. The Dinkel building on the northwest corner is the oldest and largest commercial structure in town; the commercial building on the northeast corner has been attractively renovated.
The long view to the south is of Mount Sopris; to the north is a red stone bluff clotted with trees.
The commercial core is important to the town as a shopping district and social hub. The density of activity is greater here than anywhere else in town. The crossroads at 4th and Main is the nucleus of activity: the Black Nugget bar in the Dinkel Building is always busy, and the sidewalk bench outside is nearly always occupied. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic is heaviest near here.
The buildings on the north side of Main Street, between 3rd and 4th, form a visually cohesive group.
Most of them are similar in age, height, and materials. Window heights, shapes, and sizes are similar. Parapet walls and flat roofs are used consistently.
Buildings or storefronts are of similar width, about 25 feet. The one residential structure is incompatible with other buildings and uses on the block.
The other visually cohesive group of buildings is on the east side of 4th Street, north of Main. The buildings north of the alley, however, are dilapidated in appearance and structure. The principal unifying element is signage, as all have suspended exterior signs of similar character.
Principal movement of both cars and pedestrians is along Main Street. Orientation of buildings and pathways reinforce each other. Several potentially important buildings, views, and experiences are "lost" because of this.
Views are poor on both the east and west approaches to the commercial core. The initial visual experience is confused. An effect of cohesion is not realized until one reaches the center of town.
There are many visua1 â– aps" which contribute to a genera! lack of continuity and cohesiveness in the commercial core. One is the southwest corner of 4th and Main Streets, which is occupied by a Mountain Bell station and parking lot; the facade of the station is a long blank wall. Other gaps occur on the south side of Main Street between 3rd and 4th Streets, where there is much vacant property.
Parapet treatment on the brick buildings is an important element. The decorative entablatures establis a consistent pattern which is repeated throughout the town. This treatment also emphasizes the texture of the brick and is an important contributor to the human scale of the town. Finally, parapet treatment is a strong Tinier element defining and emphasizing the top of the buildings.
Another established pattern is the recessed dorway. This is seen in many shops on Main Street.
An important element in Victorian architecture is the arched window Semicircular arches are used on the New New Store; flatter arches can be seen in the Dinkel Building and elsewhere downtown. The arch is emphasized on the windows of the 100 by their "eyebrow" lintel treatment.
Textural elements secondary to brick are lap siding and cedar shingles. Both of these repeat the relatively small scale of brick.
Awnings are used on several structures. They are often in poor condition.
The Centennial Plaza building is the newest commercial structure in the commercial core. While the initial impression it gives is one of contrast and modernity, it respects the older buildings in texture, size, and horizontality.
Renovation of the Dinkel Building over the years generally has detracted from its appearance and sense of history. Materials such as glass block and stone veneer are inharmonious with the form and age of the building.
There is much information in the visual environment of the commercial core which makes the area lively, attractive, and characteristically western. On the other hand, this "flavor" could be enhanced by eliminating or mitigating the detrimental elements and reinforcing those which unify and strengthen the existing character of the town.
The objectives outlined here describe the general policies which should guide development in the commercial core. This stage is a conceptual one, and deals with the downtown area as a whole.
The intersection of 4th and Main Streets should be reinforced as the focal point of the commercial core in initial development. The key area which should be most densely developed is in the vicinity of that intersection.
Linear patters of movement should be broken, attracting people away from Main Street. In the long term, pedestrian and vehicular traffic will otherwise become congested. Additional parking will be required; this should be provided in off-street parking lots throughout the commercial core.
Existing patterns and proportions of width and height should be respected by future development. New buildinas should nol dominate those that exist, nor should they be much smaller.
The human scale of Carbondale is what makes it pleasant and comfortable. Pockets of open space should remain, even in areas of dense development.

The most important thing to realize in thinking about town design is that the environment of a city can be planned so that it is inviting, dynamic, and well organized. Towns are organic; they are always in a condition of growth and change. A town is never "finished." for convenience, the design ideas on the following pages are divided into three stages: immediate improvements that can be made in the next year or so, short-term changes, long-term plans and design ideas, and suggestions for the years to follow. These stages should not be construed as sudden developments to be undertaken at specified times. Too many unknown variables will determine when developments will take place. Rather, what is shown here is a series of glimpses of the town of Carbondale in various stages of evolution.
*adoption of architectural guide!i nes.
*develupment of the Barn; â– ^continued landscaping and street improvement.
The first phase of development consists of improvements which can be made immediately. Only existing buildings are involved; there is no need for new buildings at the present time.
1STREET IMPROVEMENT will make the experience of getting into Carbondale a more positive one.
This is also a good first step in establishing an attitude of improvement in the commercial core.
Pedestrian crosswalks will be needed increasingly in the future and should be installed with the sidewalks to avoid unnecessary disruption. Pavers are recommended because they stimulate drivers' attention, are more attractive than striping, and provide another element of continuity.
commercial core and Crystal Village, the first of three proposed planned unit developments.
with the seasons. For streetscape planting, a variety should be chosen which will be used only along designated downtown streets, so that the trees give a sense of direction and add to the continuity of downtown pathways. Recommended species include honeylocust, green ash, hack-berry, and boxelder.
Benches are important elements downtown. Simple wood slat benches with metal supports embedded in concrete are recommended. They are specified at locations along Main Street in the initial design stage, and elsewhere at later phases of the development plan.
Trash receptacles are simple and inexpensive. Both receptacles and benches could be built locally, using the services of professional carpenters and/or high school students.
Bike racks w'!! encourage people to use their bicycles to get downtown wnenever possible. Racks are sturdy, unobtrusive, and easy to use.
2ENTRY POINTS. Focal points at the east and west ends of Main Street would reinforce the sense of entry to the town. The need for this is especially strong at the west end of Main Street, at its intersection with Highway 133. An attractive sign accented with a few shrubs would provide a pleasant welcome to the town.
Design of an entry sign would be a good opportunity to use a town logo, which could be designed by a local artist, perhaps by competition. The design, construction, and installation of an entry sign would be a good vehicle for stimulation of community involvement in the downtown improvement effort.
3ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES should be established to assist property owners and builders fo insure that future develo :ent reinforces those aspects of the town which make it attractive, comfortable, and unique. A set of guidelines has been prepared as part of this project and is printed separately.
4-ACADE RENOVATION will improve the appearance of Main Street and make Carbondale's commercial core a more attractive place to shop and visit. Most of the suggested improvements shown here involve simple "face-lifting" tasks and do not require major structural changes to the buildings.
HISTORIC DESIGNATION. Application should be made to the National Trust for Historic Preservation for designation to the National Register of Historic Places. This is a list of sites which are cultural resources worthy of preservation. Designation would accomplish several things. First, it would elevate local and regional consciousness of the historic value of Carbondale's downtown area.
Second, it might attract visitors downtown and therefore increase trade. Finally, it would make property owners eligible for grants for renovation and repair of their buildings.
The boundary of the suggested historic district is shown on the accompanying map.
There is a considerable effort involved in completing National Register Nomination forms. Such an undertaking might be sponsored by the Carbendale Council for the Arts and Humanities.
The second stage of development is planned for a population of about 5,000. Since this level of development could be reached, depending on the impact of several intervening variables, any time between 1980 and 1995, no target date is given. Moreover, the various elements of the design stage are not intended to be sequential; rather, they are pieces which can be incorporated into the overall town design independently of one another.
1 THE BARN is redeveloped at this point into a studio/retai1/commercial space. This will expand the central core of the downtown area to the south, and provide a secondary focal node in the commercial core, the primary node being the intersection of 4th and Main Streets.
Paving material used outdoors here and elsewhere consists of the same material as previously used for pedestrian crosswalks in the first phase. Integration of design elements such as this can be coordinated by private developers and the town government.
2STRFET IMPROVEMENT continues one-naif block north and south of Main Street on 4th Street. This will draw interest in those directions by the repetition of trees, light standards, benches, and b^ke racks.
3	LANDSCAPING elements begin to establish some pedestrian linkages through the downtown area. Paving and planting on the south side of Main Street between 4th and Weanf relate the barn complex to Main Street and provide a pedestrian connection between the Dark anu downtown.
4	BUILDINGS. Initial development should take place on Main Street, between existing buildings. Several suggested sites are shown on the town plan. Architectural guidelines must be followed. Much building development at this stage involves change of use rather than new construction.
5 PARKING wi11 have to be expanded gradually as downtown use increases. Small lots dispersed throughout the •town are recommended for convenience and to avoid the depersonalized effect a single parking area would have. Off-street parking at this stage of development is provided for 300 cars in 12 lots; togetner with the existing supply of onstreet parking, about 500 spaces are available. Note landscaping shown on the town plan to mitigate the impact of the parking lots.
1	c	fwa ju.'3 ,.WfUi/r,l o.
The third phase of development is planned for a town population of about 10,000. In this stage, a third node is created and pedestrian linkages are established to knit The central downtown area together.
1 A COMMUNITY1 PLAZA is shown in this stage, as the third and most important node in the downtown area. Combined with the proposed city hall/ recreation center to the north and shopping area to the south, this plaza is the hub of pedestrian and outdoor activity in the downtown area.
A theater is incorporated into the plaza for outdoor summer entertainment. In addition, the concrete proscenium could be flooded for winter skating. The theater shown seats about 300.
A kiosk is available for public announcements. It is maintained by the parks department.
Benches and paving material duplicate those existing.
Lighting is provided by simple, low level fixtures.
Landscaping breaks the plaza into small, private areas and large open spaces.
2 STREET IMPROVEMENTS are made to the remainder of 4th Street in the commercial core, in order to emphasize it as a major axis. Many of the same elements used here are continued from the Main Street program in the first development stage: pedestrian crossings, street lighting, landscaping, and furniture. These strengthen 4th Street's visual impact and relate it strongly to the intense development already undertaken on Main Street.
Colorado Avenue is improved by paving and widening it between 3rd and 6th Streets.
4th Street is closed to vehicles. This will allow more freedom and flexibility of activity in the central downtown area.
A downtown traffic loop is established on Colorado Avenue, 3rd Street, Main Street, and 8th Street. This is a one-way loop. It will decrease traffic from outside town on Main Street, and take cars incoming from outside town of Main Street, and take cars incoming from Route 133 to several parking areas on the norhtern edge of the commercial core.
LANDSCAPING must be coordinated so that work done privately and publicly dc not conflict. Landscape elements should continue in this stage to reinforce each other and to tie the area together. Seen totally, landscaping and pedestrian walks are developed through the commercial core which is removed from vehicular traffic. The pathway also links the city park to the central business district.
PARKING is developed further in this cfage. 194 parking spaces are added in five lots, increasing the off-street parking supply to 494 spaces.
BUILDING DEVLLOPMENT in this phase is concentrated in the northern portion of the commercial core. Buildings shown here represent an increase in gross area of approximately 44,000 square feet over existing space.
By this stage of development, uses beyond normal retail, commercial, and office space may be required. There may be demand for a new city hall; a recreation facility may be warranted. A high-volume public facility would be highly desirable in the area north of the Dinkle Building. This would provide a steady flow of pedestrian traffic to the area and thereby greatly enliven and enhance it.
tangential matters are in order.
*It is hard at this time to predict the future of the automobile. If parking becomes a problem in the ommercial core, it would be feasibl to build a multi-layer and/or underground structure. A logical location for such a structure would be north of the intersection of 4th Street and Colorado Avenue.
*Sooner or later, like it or not, the main crossroads of town will be the intersection of Main Street and Highway 133. It is worth thinking now about adopting design guidelines and zoning restrictions for development along the highway. The blight inherent in the usual "strip" highway development would negate all the charm of the commercial core, and it must be prevented.
"If you don't do it excellently, don't do it at all. Because if it's not excellent it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're not in the business for fun or profit, what the hell are you doing here?"
It is suggested at this time that a downtown improvement committee be formed and given the authority to initiate the necessary studies to prepare a plan. The Chamber of Commerce is in a position to initiate such a committee.
When the committee is createds a decision as to what extent plans are to be publicly or privately financed will need to be made. If they are to be publicly financed, the committee will need to convince the town council or the town planning commission, that such studies are necessary at this time and that expenditures will have the support of the community. If the plans are to be privately financed at this point, the creation of a non-profit corporation (or profit corporation if desired) would provide the basis of financial support. Stock or membership fees in the corporation could easily be used initially for financing the necessary studies. Later, additional assessments or stocks could provide the funds for implementation .
tions should be represented. The committee should seek out and visit at least two other towns with some similarity to Carbondale which have executed successful downtown projects in order to gather ideas, suggestions and tips to help generate enthusiasm that "something can be done." It should be the committee's ultimate intent to enlist the support of the entire town by generating community recognition of the situation and support for a specific plan. To do this, presentations to other groups and organizations, discussions on radio or television, and descriptive and pictoral articles in the local newspaper can help generate interest and achieve a community recognition of the situation.
As early as possible, the committee should seek and select professional assistance. This is important since the architect, landscape architect, urban designer or other professional you select to assist you needs to be in "on the ground floor" so he/ she can best determine and be familiar with your needs and your capabilities. Retaining professional assistance is important to the town because it represents an additional commitment to do something positive and provides the committee -- as soon as possible -- with an objective proposal and some alternative plans and ideas to consider.
officials and citizens of the community should be given an opportunity to hear the findings and respond to them, asking questions and offering opinions. This can be done through public information meetings and the news media and ultimately through an official public hearing prior to the adoption of the completed plans and recommendations.
If you have done your job well to that point, there probably will be no question as to whether or not the plans and recommendations should be adopted. The plan will have been well publicized, and it will have recognized the needs of the community. In addition, it will have used opinions and concerns as inputs and generated community-wide support for its proposals.
The next step is to officially adopt the plan either by your business district development corporation or by the town council and town planning commission and seek the necessary financial commitment to authorize its construction. It then becomes a matter of preparing construction plan and specifications, taking bids, awarding contracts, and undertaking construction. During the course of construction the business community can capitalize upon the project by having special events and sales which call attention to the improvements beino made and make the inconveniences caused by construction easier to tolerate.
Business and Industrial Development Loans. Administered by the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), this program provides guarantee or insurance for eligible loans for the purpose of improving, developing or financing business, industry and employment and improving the economic and environmental conditons in rural areas.
Industrial Development Grants. Administered by the FmHA, this program provides project grants to finance the development of retail, commercial or industrial space as well as supportive infrastructure (roads, parking areas, utility extension, etc.). This program is limited to public bodies which serve cities under 50,000 population.
Rural Development Grants. Also administered by the FmHA, this program provides grants for projects to facilitate development of private business enterprises in communities of up to 10,000 population. The FmHA office which handles Carbondale is in Grand Junction, but has an office day in Glenwood Springs.
Tax Reform Act of 1976. Administered by the Interior Department's Office of Archeology and Historic Preservation through the Colorado State Historical Department's Division of Historic Preservation, this Act provides significant tax incentives to owners of historic structures who wish to rehabilitate them. It applies to all depreciable structures that are either: (1) listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places; (?) located within a historic district listed in the National Register and are certified by the Secretary of the Interior as contributing to the historic significance of the district; or (3) located within a state or locally designated district established under a statute or ordinance approved by the Secretary of the Interior.
Comprehensive Planning Assistance ("701"). Under this program, project grants are available for cities under 50,000 population for preparing comprehensive development plans for downtowns or specific studies such as transportation, open space, market studies, etc.
Urban Renewal, Model Cities, Neighborhood Facilities, Open Space Land, Historic Preservation, Urban Beautification, Water and Sewer Facilities Public Facilities Loans and Rehabilitation Loans. A wide array of downtown related activities can be carried out under this program.
Urban Development Actions Grants (UDAG). As part of the aforementioned CDBG program, this new program is created to provide additiona relief to the country's most trouble cities and urban counties. Grants are made for economic development and neighborhood revitalization to cities that are eligible on the basis of meeting three of the six minimum standards of distress. Distress standards are related to age of housing stock, per capita income, rate of population growth, unemployment and employment in the manufacturing and retail sector, and the federal poverty level of its population.
Applications for block grant funding are due in the fall. So find out about public information meetings, contact the Garfield County Planning Office, or the HUD office in Grant Junction, in early October.

Recent Evolution In recent years, the bleak picture of forty years ago has changed dramatically. The steady rapid growth of Aspen has had a major impact on the entire valley.

A town is never "finished." for convenience, the design ideas on the following pages are divided into three stages: immediate improvements that can be made in the next year or so, short-term changes, long-term plans and design ideas, and suggestions for the years to follow. These stages should not be construed as sudden developments to be undertaken at specified times. Too many unknown variables will determine when developments will take place. Rather, what is shown here is a series of glimpses of the town of Carbondale in various stages of evolution. Briefly, suggested phasing of downtown development is as follows: Phase 1, population 2,000: *street repair and furniture on Main Street; *landscaping; *facade renovation; *improvement of entries to town; *application for designation to National Register; *adoption of architectural guidelines. Phase 2, population 5,000: *developmentof 200 parking spaces; *infill construction on Main Street; *develupment of the Barn; *continued landscaping and street improvement. Phase 3, population 10,000: *development of 400 parking spaces; *further street improvement; *continued building development; *one-way traffic loop; *community plaza .
Bike racks will encourage people to u se their bicycles to get downtown wnenever possible. Racks are sturdy, unobtrusive, and easy to use. :2ENTRY POINTS. Focal points at the east and west ends of Main Street would reinforce the sense of entry to the town. The need for this is especially strong at the west end of Main Street, at its intersection with Highway 133. An attractive sign accented with a few shrubs would provide a pleasant welcome to the town. Design of an enti ' Y sign wou 1 d be a good opportunity to use a town logo, which could be designed by a local artist, perhaps by competition. The design, construction. and insta11ati'on of an entry sign would be a good vehicle for stimulation of community involvement in the downtown improvement effort. elevation plan :3ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES should be established to assist property owners and builders to insure t hat future reinforces those aspects of the town which m ake it attractive, comfortable, and unique. A set of has been prepared as part of this project and is printed separately .

Phase Three The third phase of development is planned for a town population of about 10,000. In this stage, a third node is created and pedestrian are established to knit rne central downtown area together. 1 A COMMUNITY PLAZA is shown in this stage, as the third and most impor tant node in the downtown area. Combined with the proposed city hall/ recreation center to the north and shopping area to the south, this plaza is the hub of pedestrian and outdoor activity in the downtown area. A theater is incorporated into the plaza for outdoor summer entertctin ment. In addition, the concrete proscenium could be flooded for winter skating. The theater shown seats about 300. A kiosk is available public announcements. It is maintained by the parks department. Benches and paving material duplicate those existing. Lighting is provided by simple, low level fixtures. Landscaping breaks the plaza ir.to small, private areas and large open spac es. 3 ..
AA Beyond As a final desi g n note, some idea s and suggestions on futu r e and/ or t a ngential matters are in o r der. Cons1der this food for thought: *It is hard at this time to predict the future of the automobile. If par king becomes a problem in the (OmmP.rcial core , it would be feasible to build a multi-layer and/or under g r ound A logical location for such a structure would be of the i ntersection of 4th S t r ee t and Colorado A venue . *SoQner or later, like i t o r not, the main crossroads of town will be the intersection of Main Street and Highway 133. It is worth thinkinq now about adopting design guidelines and zoning restrictions development along the highway. The blight inherent in the usual "strip" highway development would negate all the charm of the commercial core, and it must be prevented. *Last but not least, a bit of wisdom from Robert Townsend's Up The Organization. Townsend suggests , "If you don't do it excellently, don't do it at all. Because if it's not excellent it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're not in the business for fun or profit, what the hell are you doin g here? "

PAT MANYX
By Editor | January 7, 2021
Lawrence Patrick (Pat) Manyx, age 89, of LaBelle, Missouri, passed away December 24, 2020, in the LaBelle Manor.
Born September 21, 1931, in Knox City, Missouri, Pat was the son of Henry Georgie and Anna Mabel Kelley Manyx.
Pat was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Mary Goodson.
Surviving are one son, Keith (Myoka) Manyx of Knox City, MO; one grandson, Brian (Amy) Manyx of Kirksville, MO; two great-grandchildren, Tristan and Kierra Manyx of Kirksville, MO; one brother, Bob Manyx of Quincy, IL; and a half-brother, Paul Butcher of Hannibal, MO.
After Pat finished school at La Belle High School, he served in the US Army for a few months and was discharged. He was told with his knowledge in radio equipment and electronics he would be more satisfied and valuable if he was in the Navy. He then enlisted four years in the Navy.
Returning home from the Navy Pat was in a partnership with Homer Fulton for many years. They did repairs on radios, televisions and all electronic appliances. Lots of refrigerators. Also including bicycles, you name it bring it in and they would try to fix it. They started the business in the back of Ruben's general store. Not sure of the exact name of Harry Rubin's store.
Later on, Pat's father Henry Manyx purchased the current location where they continued their shop for a lot of years known as Fulton & Manyx TV/Appl. on a much larger scale. Stocking a large display area for radios, televisions (televisions coming on the market with a tiny screen and two men wrestling in a full-blown snowstorm that you could only get reception at certain times of the day). There were islands made with small electric appliances, Radios, refrigerators and the electric cooking stoves all on display. As the years passed his business partner for many years moved his family to California as he accepted a great job. It then took the name of Manyx Tv & Appl. then down the line it became the bike shop.
In those early days Pat and Homer were very instrumental in organizing a motorcycle club called Missouri Hawks motorcycle club which included members from Canton and several nearby towns. I mentioned Canton as it was probably the furthest away all though there was a few members from Quincy. Pat's father owned some acreage by Deer Ridge, Missouri, and that was the go-to place for the club to have meetings and there was a riding track. Many had fun on the open space and Pat enjoyed helping new ones on how to ride the big Harley Davidson and there was one Indian cycle. Pat and many of the entire club enjoyed the road trips. Ones most memorable each year was the Dodge City 300 motorcycle race, Dodge City, Kansas, and the Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motors Speedway. He did like to hit the road on his bike but then they all did most every weekend.
For many years Pat was seen riding his Indian motorcycle around town, in fact, he was all over the country with it. If it was not the Indian, it would be his pride and joy, the Ford Ranchero. Not sure it was one of the first ones 1957 but probably close. Then on his more mature days he switched over to riding one of his many bicycles. Somewhat safer, however, there was the time when he spilled the Indian on a wet brick pavement in Dodge City and we slid half a block. I can testify to this incident as I was on the back of that Indian. That compared to his almost fatal collision on one of his bicycles and a huge dog I wasn't present. I never heard if the dog had been arrested.
Funeral services with full Military Honors will be held 10 A.M. Wednesday, January 6, 2021, in the Coder Funeral Chapel in Labelle, MO. Pastor Paul Harvey will officiate the services. Burial will be in the LaBelle Cemetery.
Musical selections will be Go Rest High On That Mountain and Old Rugged Cross.
Visitation will be held one hour prior to services Wednesday January 6th, at the Coder Funeral Chapel in LaBelle.
Memorials may be made to the Donor's choice. Memorials may be left at or mailed to Coder Funeral Chapel, P.O. Box 151, LaBelle, MO 63447.

are several hidden rounds with producers before you get to the main stage with the judges. 15 House Hunters, if you want to see a true modern-day success of reality TV, look no further than hgtv. But not this one. I made it through a few rounds for a well known singing show and they BEG you for sob stories. FremantleMedia Enterprises, a show starring Howard Stern brought people in just to publicly humiliate them. Let us know in the comment section!
Pawn Queens ended up being on for two seasons and they gave her a backstory about how/why she got interested in the pawn business. Reddit user Butta_Butta_Jam described that her daughter and her daughters boyfriend were recruited by producers.
This makes sense if you think about it: no police officer on the street would tolerate producers attempting to add in drama and scripted scenes when they're jobs are already so dangerous. Thanks to the success of Rick and his family, the former History Channel has switched over to broadcasting mostly reality shows. You know things are definitely fake when even the house used in the show isn't really owned by the family! From then on, all the contestants have to prepare two dishes. Relationships arent real, there is agreements that is 100 for show. Just go watch it already.

Weightloss cycle plan with clenbuterol – T3 and Ketotifen.
For those who have a lot of weight to lose, or have been fighting the weight for years with no reaction, there are some Clenbuterol stacks that will push your body to the limit of its fat burning capabilities.
You will need: Clenbuterol Hydrochloride 40mcg Tablets (Tiny White Tablet), T3 80mcg Tablets (Yellow Tablet) and Ketotifen 1mg Tablets (Larger White Tablet with Score).
For men you will need 200 x 40mcg Clenbuterol tabs. 100 x Cytomix Tablets and 100 x 1mg Ketotifen Tabs.
For women you will need 100x 40mcg Clenbuterol tabs. 100 x Cytomix Tablets and 100 x 1mg Ketotifen Tabs.
The Clenbuterol will raise your bodies temperature and heartrate, therefore burning more calories per hour. Normally your body will not get any effect from Clenbuterol after 3 weeks, but this is why we take it with Ketotifen.
The Ketotifen will keep your Beta 2 receptors in good shape, meaning you can use Clenbuterol for longer up to 6 weeks. (Clenbuterol can not safely be used for longer than 3 weeks, without a 3 week break, unless you are using Ketotifen daily from the second week).
The T3 will stimulate your thyroid increasing your metabolism.
The Clenbuterol is taken every day, in the morning, from week 1 to week 6.
Special Attention needs to be paid to the start AND end of your 6 Weeks of Clenbuterol, start with a small dose for the first 2 days, the a slightly higher dose for another 2 days and then your max/recommended dose for the remainder of the cycle. When you come to the end of the cycle, reverse the process, taking slightly less for 2 days, then slightly less for another 2 days and then stopping.
THE FIRST TIME YOU TAKE CLENBUTEROL: You must establish for yourself what is the correct dosage. For a woman it will be between 40-100mcg, for a man between 80-160mcg. You start on 20-40mcg for a couple of days, then you raise to 40-80mcg for a couple more days.. at this point you should "feel" the clenbuterol working, if your hands are shaking slightly, don't worry that should subside in a day, if it does not you are taking slightly too much and you need to reduce your dose 20-40mcg. So it's the point where your taking just less than the amount that makes your hands tremble that you want to find and this is your MAX dose. You want to be taking enough Clenbuterol to be "feeling it" when your doing your workout, but not so much that your hands are shaking and making you feel uncomfortable.
EXTRA Special Attention needs to be paid to the start AND end of your 3 weeks usage of T3 Cytomel. You must also start on a low dose and gradually work your way up, but it is far more important with T3 than with Clenbuterol.
Start on 1/2 a pill a day for the first 2 days, then 1 pill a day for 2 days, then 1 1/2 pills per day for the remainder of the 3 weeks, until the end when you MUST reverse this process.
Ketotifen take 2 tablets a day everyday before bed from week 2-6.
The thing to remember about Ketotifen is that is makes you drowsy and you should not take it in the morning or before driving your car.
Taking Ketotifen DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN DO T3 FOR LONGER THAN 3 WEEKS, YOU CAN NEVER DO T3 FOR LONGER THAN 3 WEEKS.
It worked well for me. I stacked it with anavar. 120mg clen and 50mg of anavar ed. Got my 6pack back within weeks. Didn't like clen much tho. Felt like I'd drank like a million coffees. Made me proper jittery and shakey. Don't know if it was the clen or var that was helpin the most but I was happy with the results. Was doin lots of cardio too which I don't usually do so who knows how well I'd have done naturally.
Also heard primobolan is excellent for cuttin fat but never tries myself.
Also try to learn more about diet and nutrition. This can be the difference between success and failure even when using clen or gear. A good change in diet will probably help more than the clen will. But both together is a winning combo.
X2, couldn't agree more. not to mention, you'll actually be able to keep the fat off when your done with the clen, if your diet is on point. otherwise, you'll return to where you were before.
how much cardio are you doing?
Awesome advice! I have been considering this for a while and wasnt sure which way to go. I had also heard Primobolan was a decent alternative. I think I might just do a 3 week cycle and see how I feel, then perhaps try the 6 week cycle as outlined above. Its a little different for me since I dont actually care much about gaining muscle as much as dropping weight and increasing cardio. I am a cyclist and want to improve my riding so we'll see how it goes.
first, stop drinking. it is counter productive to your goals.
i'm sure you're getting a lot of cardio on the days you're playing soccer, but as for the other days seem like they could use a lot of improvment. clen will help, but it will really only make a small difference. for cardio, first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach is the best. slow steady state cardio, heart rate at 125bpm. start with 30 minutes 4 times a wk. work your way to 6 times a wk. then go to 45 minutes per session. then, eventually, an hour per session. use clen 2 wks on, 2 wks off. take yohimbine hcl with yout clen, first thing in the mornin g with nothing else but water before cardio. if first thing is not going to work, do it right after you train. use a treadmill or stair climber. dont use the bike. trust me, with the right diet, we can get you to whatever BF you want using cardio like this, as long as your diet is in oder.
how much protein, carbs and fat are you eating?
since I am planning the same type of thing but I am a cyclist, I am curious as to why you say dont use the bike?
Very agreed...first choose,and follow a good diet plan,and if it's not works anymore THEN USE THE MEDICINES.Not instead or firstly.Thaths my opinion.I'am not against any meds,but the timing in this whole sport is very important.
Great article ronny, otherwise did u have any news about analysis that have been perform on UG Clen. Main problem for these UG labs is to manufacture a very very small dosage like a 0.04mg. Neither of these UG labs can reach an average dosing at 0.04mg per pill. All of them have the same problem: dosing, that can varies from 0.02mg / in to 0.14mg / in one tablet .
This is why I personally avoid to use UG Clen,T3,and T4.
I believe clem has around a 20 hr half life. That's why you take it in the morning.
works like a charm for me. i use it for basically everything, bulking / cutting / pct.
T-3 and clen the bomb..
I'm currently running clen and have done the clen/T3 combo. T3 is very catabolic and you will lose weight but some of it will be lean muscle mass. It is recommended to take some form of AAS in conjunction with any T3 cycle, but I was running 300mg of test cyp and still lost a noticeable amount of muscle mass during a three week cycle of clen/T3. Combine that with the risks T3 poses to damaging your thyroid and it wasn't worth it to me. I won't be running T3 again. The clen by itself does a decent job in helping burn fat but it's not a miracle pill. I'm taking it right now because I'm doing a little weight loss challenge at my place of work and the weigh-in is on Monday. If the time frame weren't an issue I could accomplish the same results with a few more weeks of good dieting.
From what I've been hearing, Clen is good for burning fat in any cycle. I'm incorporating Clen into my regime on January.

Romney: We abandoned an ally
Utah Senator blasts ceasefire with Turkey: What we have done to the Kurds will stand as a blood stain in the annals of American history.
Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Thursday ripped US President Donald Trump over the ceasefire reached in Syria, while calling his decision to withdraw troops "a bloodstain in the annals of American history."
"The announcement today is being portrayed as a victory. It is far from a victory. Serious questions remain about how the decision was reached precipitously to withdraw from Syria and why that decision was reached," Romney said, according to The Hill.
US Vice President Mike Pence announced earlier on Thursday that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed to halt Turkey's offensive in northern Syria for 120 hours in order to allow Kurdish forces known as the YPG to evacuate.
In exchange, Trump will lift the sanctions on Turkey he imposed this week and not impose further sanctions, Pence added.
Romney said the administration needs to explain what the US role will be moving forward, adding that the ceasefire does not change that the United States "abandoned" the Kurds.
"Adding insult to dishonor, the administration speaks cavalierly, even flippantly, even as our ally has suffered death and casualty," Romney said. "We once abandoned a red line. Now we abandon an ally."
"The decision to abandon the Kurds violates one of our most sacred duties. It strikes at American honor. What we have done to the Kurds will stand as a bloodstain in the annals of American history," Romney continued.
Turkish soldiers last Wednesday launched a cross-border assault against Kurdish fighters Turkey sees as terrorists.
The operation was launched three days after Trump's announcement of a withdrawal of US forces in northeastern Syria, leading to some accusations that Trump's move was an authorization for Turkey to invade the region.
Lawmakers from both parties have been critical of Trump's withdrawal of troops from Syria. On Wednesday, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution rebuking Trump's decision to pull troops out from Syria.
Last week, 29 House Republicans announced legislation to impose sanctions against Turkey in the wake of its assault on Kurdish forces in Syria.

After clinching Central League title, Stoverstown takes aim at elusive York County crown
After clinching another Central League baseball title, the Stoverstown Tigers are now taking aim at an elusive York County crown.
After clinching Central League title, Stoverstown takes aim at elusive York County crown After clinching another Central League baseball title, the Stoverstown Tigers are now taking aim at an elusive York County crown. Check out this story on yorkdispatch.com: https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/sports/baseball/2019/08/01/after-clinching-cl-title-stoverstown-aims-elusive-county-crown/1884966001/
RYAN VANDERSLOOT, 717-505-5403/@yaiaascores Published 9:00 a.m. ET Aug. 1, 2019 | Updated 1:39 p.m. ET Aug. 1, 2019
Stoverstown clinched the Central League baseball title earlier this week.
The Tigers will face Susquehanna League champ East Prospect for the county title.
Stoverstown is searching for its first county crown since the 1976 season.
Stoverstown's Zach Schuler, right, has played for the Tigers for 14 years. During that time, Stoverstown has won a number of championships, but not a York County title. DISPATCH FILE PHOTO (Photo: The York Dispatch)
Zach Schuler has been one of the mainstays with the Stoverstown Tigers over the last 14 years.
Schuler has been there when his team twice won the prestigious Tom Kerrigan Memorial Tournament, which is annually held over the Labor Day Weekend in York County.
He's been there for a handful of Central League regular-season and playoff crowns.
One thing that the Stoverstown veteran hasn't seen to date is a York County championship.
The Tigers lost in the York County Championship Series to Conrads back in 2012, and also fell the past two seasons to East Prospect. Now, however, the Tigers and Schuler will have another shot at claiming the county crown two weekends from now.
Stoverstown officially clinched the team's third-consecutive CL title after defeating Dillsburg 10-7 Tuesday night.
Another shot at Pistons: The Pistons (29-6) clinched their third-straight Susquehanna League title a few weeks ago, so Tuesday's victory assured Schuler and his buddies another shot at the Pistons, and another chance to break the recent county title drought. Stoverstown's only county crown came back in 1976.
"I'm not getting any younger," Schuler said. "We've put together a lot of really competitive teams these past five, six years. And it's been a lot of different guys over these past few years, so you have to give it to our manager, Tim Thoman, for juggling it all."
Schuler, who is in his mid-30s, has pondered retirement over the past few years. With a young son and a wife, the veteran has stayed around because of the influx of newer and younger guys. Those youngsters make him feel like he's still in his early 20s.
"I'm one of the older guys, but guys like Levi (Krause) and Nick (Spangler) and Brandon (Warner) kind of keep it fun for me," Schuler said.
Missing crown: Despite being the most successful organization in the CL over the last five years, the Tigers (20-5-2 through Wednesday's action) somehow have been left behind when it comes to the York County Championship Series. Schuler was optimistic last year after the Tigers won Game 1 of the best-of-three series only to see the Pistons win Game 2 and Game 3 to repeat as county champs.
"I tell the guys that this is what we play for, the county championship," Schuler said. "I've personally been in three county championships, with the one back in 2012 as well, and we still haven't won one. We've won a lot, but the county championship is one thing that we haven't and I really want to win it before I retire."
The county title series this year is slated for Saturday, Aug. 10 and Sunday Aug. 11. The Tigers will host Game 1 on Saturday, with the Pistons hosting Game 2 and Game 3 on Sunday. Game 3 will only be played if necessary.

Marketing is not just restricted to just content and images. The scope of marketing is quite broad. The role of videos in spreading the brand awareness among different masses is of due significance. Promotional videos have become the trend in marketing now. Different kinds of brands and companies now focus on the videos. These promotional videos are designed in a way to deliver the message through video to the target audience or potential customers. 6 tactics to consider while making promotional videos are discussed in this article.
Promotional videos are not equally effective to all the population and thus needs to be created for some specific target population. Target population is comprised of potential customers for some specific product, you are going to include in your promotional video. Carefully identify the population and then devise your video according to the latest trends and aspirations of that population.
Market is full of promotional videos. So, try to be unique and innovative. Remember that exclusive promotional videos have more views as compared to dull and usual videos. More views guarantee more customers. Audience wants uniqueness and that's why they are attracted to individuality. Moreover, the video should deliver the specific message and it should be informative for the potential customers. The information should be realistic so that people will give a thought to the specific product highlighted in the video. This step in making promotional videos is quite crucial and can also act as a make or break point for your brand or company.
It is very important to determine length of video. The video should ideally be as short as it could be. Audience perceives long promotional videos as dull and uninteresting and they have fewer views. Short videos are catchy and attractive to watch. The main aim should be deliverance of information about the product in an interesting way which should compel the customers to buy that product. So, make it short but innovative and informative.
Right people for your promotional videos are surely not from your company or staff. Approach those people who are compatible with camera. Not everybody is good on camera. You can hire models or celebrities and it is a good idea too. Sometimes the fans buy the product because they associate the product with their favorite celebrity or model. Thus, it is quite important to check the compatibility of the person you are going to hire for your company. Personality matters a lot in attracting customers and you mustn't turn a blind eye on that fact.
The quality of the promotional video should be exceptional. It is very important to hire professional video maker who can shoot your video in high definition. Low quality videos are less likely to grab the attention of potential customers. Professional video maker and video graphers are the best option in this regard.
After launching the videos, wait for the feedback from the target audience. It is quite easy now because of social media. People share their views on everything and they also share their views on different products and ads as well, may be some of them share their views about the effectiveness of your video on your company's page or website. This feedback will help you to determine the effectiveness of your promotional video.
These were some of the beneficial tactics to consider while making a promotional video for your company/brand.

The Neminatha, or Luna Vasahi temple, dedicated to Neminath, the twenty-second Tirthankara, was built in 1230 and later. The interiors of these marble temples are covered in intricately carved decoration.

It's almost Super Bowl time. I know some of y'all have been planning for the big day for awhile now. And what is most important besides the actual game is the food. Well food and drinks. Can't forget the alcohol.
Planning what you and your guest are going to munch on during the game are very important in my opinion. But if it's not obvious food is always important especially when feeding a group of people.
I would love to plan great outside grill recipes because what screams football more than grilling, but it is the very beginning of February. And because I live in Texas the weather is hit or miss. A couple years ago it was warm and sunny and perfect weather. And then there could be an ice storm, you just never know when you live in Texas.
That's why these poppers work great just popping in the oven and even have a nice char on them just like if you threw them on a grill.
I used some rotisserie chicken for this recipe because simple is better in my opinion. All you do is pull that chicken off the done in chunks and throw it in your mixer for a minute and now you have shredded chicken.
Mix that chicken with your softened cream cheese, ranch dressing seasoning, and red pepper flakes and you stuffing is ready to go. I could just eat the mixture alone it is so good.
Cut your jalapeños in half longways and get out all the insides. I highly suggest getting out all those seeds because if you leave them and heat those babies up, man your mouth is going to be on fire. You don't want to kill your guests by leaving the seeds.
Just fill those jalapeños up with your chicken mixture and now it's time to wrap them. From trial and error I think using a whole piece of bacon for each jalapeño is best. I used half a piece on some of the smaller ones and all that resulted in was the bacon coming off the jalapeños as the bacon cooked. Bacon naturally shrinks when it cooks.
Now pop those in the oven for about 25 minutes. My oven did become a little smoky towards the end, but I just turned on vent hood and that fixed that. I like to pull them out when it seems like all the bacon is cooked and even has a little char on the tips.
Transfer to your serving dish and they are ready to go. I actually made these for a party I went to so they weren't serve piping hot, but I can tell you everyone of these poppers were gone quick. I was really shocked how fast they went. So that must mean they were that good.
So if you need something tasty and relatively easy for your super bowl party these poppers are for you. Make them and set them out and watch them disappear.
Shred your chicken and add cream cheese, ranch dressing seasoning, and red pepper flakes and mix together well. A mixer really helps with this.
Place on a baking sheet and pop in the oven for 25 minutes. Watch towards the end to make sure the bacon doesn't char too much.


While at the hotel, you can do activities that are rarely done while at home. For example, reading a book by the quiet pool, enjoying the beautiful scenery and the beautiful atmosphere around the hotel, taking pictures in beautiful rooms, or simply watching favorite movies with family in the hotel room.
It is no secret if the hotel issued a promo rate at a certain moment. Suppose during Christmas and New Year holidays. During the holidays, for example, you can get a cheaper rate than usual.
You can get fun and entertainment with classy hotel facilities. A little treat saturation routine atmosphere at home, with a new atmosphere in the hotel, would have been more exciting. You can also invite relatives or relatives to enjoy the hotel facilities available. Starting from a varied breakfast menu, swimming together in the pool, enjoying the luxurious supper-style hotel meals, or make use of the spa or gym facilities there.
Spending vacation time does not have to be in the long term. Sometimes a short holiday agenda with the family. Perhaps the busyness of you and other family members rarely get together. Stay overnight and one room, to keep the family warmer.
Stay at the hotel can be used as a means of escape from the saturation of household chores. Especially Mom, how hard and a lot of work to handle every day. By staying at the hotel, it could be a drug-saturated and tired. For a moment, behaving like a queen last night, all served and all there.

Madaline "Maddie" Davidson (born 8 January 1999) is a New Zealand trampoline gymnast. She competed at the 2020 Olympic Games and finished tenth in the qualification, making her the second reserve for the final. She is the first female trampolinist to represent New Zealand at the Olympics.

Career
Maddie Davidson was born on 8 January 1999 in Christchurch. Her parents enrolled her in trampoline classes after she began jumping on a family friend's backyard trampoline. She trains at Olympia Gymnastic Sports in Christchurch under coach Alex Nilov. In order to fund her training, she works as a trampoline coach and also as a personal assistant for an accountant.

Davidson began competing with Alexa Kennedy in synchro competitions in 2018 despite the two living and training on opposite ends of the country. At the 2018 World Cup in Maebashi, the pair finished sixth, and Davidson finished sixteenth as an individual. Then at the 2018 World Championships in Saint Petersburg, Kennedy and Davidson finished fourteenth in the qualification round. Individually, Davidson qualified into the semifinals where she finished thirteenth.

At the 2019 World Cup in Minsk, she won the bronze medal in the synchro event with Kennedy. Davidson only competed as an individual at the 2019 World Championships in Tokyo, and she only finished forty-second in the qualification round. She finished fourth at the 2021 World Cup in Brescia.

Davidson was selected to compete at the postponed 2020 Olympic Games, which made her the first female trampolinist to represent New Zealand at the Olympic Games. Gymnastics New Zealand chief executive Tony Compier remarked that her achievement was a "watershed moment ... one we hope will be inspirational to all young girls and women in our sport." At the Olympics, Davidson finished tenth in the qualification round with a total score of 93.140, which made her the second reserve for the final.

"This head is for both Turbo & Non-Turbo engines"
umm... the turbo has different valves. which valves does this one have?
i dont know, just put some turbo stainless valves in it and bamm brand new head.
eh, i think the valve thing mazda did was a preventative measure... who knows.
someone's lying then...according to Mazda, the GT valves are sodium filled. When sodium is exposed to water, it's quite the pyrotechnics show.
it's quite the pyrotechnics show.
The intake valves are the same as non-turbo.
The GT exhaust valves have been cut and photographed a couple times.
Hopefully the pictures aren't gone.. if you search the 1g forums, it is *in* there.
The GT exhaust valves *are* heat treated... harder than the N/A to cut, but no sodium, or other fun metals inside.
Yep, i know that guy. Bought a couple of things from him. Really decent car, actually, and the guy was cool too. I saw him start the car and it worked really well, there's actually a sale thread on probesnw.com about the car, he claims he kept up with M5 until 140mph, and i would believe him. So yea, i'd be on it if i had space (3 cars is a bit too many for a 23yr old) Good luck to the buyer.


Nursing mothers are often faced with lots of cultural ideas and beliefs imposed by mothers, sisters, aunts and friends as to what helps increase breast milk flow. While some of their ideas are almost pleasant, they sometimes sound defiantly awful to "modern mums" and often tend to encroach into your personal, emotional, spiritual and physical beliefs. Also as a breastfeeding mother, I know how extremely frustrating it can be when your body doesn't seem to make enough milk for your baby. You see your baby unsettled because they are not eating enough even though they are regularly on the breast. If you have faced such challenges and have sought easier and more "21st century" delightful methods to encourage the flow of breast milk, stop the search because an angel heard OUR PRAYERS!!!!!
God blessed me with a cute little foodie; she eats so much and clusters the breast as if she has a twin sharing the food with her. She's usually unsatisfied after breastfeeding which makes her unhappy and of course, that gets me really sad because I felt I was failing my first duty as a mum. After countless searches on how to remedy the situation, I did found out that about 92% of first time mothers have some trouble breastfeeding. This gave me a bit of relief. There are many first time mums who are oblivious of how to produce more milk for their baby; so if you are like me (or like the old me), you are not alone. We now we have a helper called "Lactation cookies"…. yes, you read right. Lactation cookies were and still are a lifesaver for me since starting this breastfeeding journey. Lactation cookies are a healthy and tasty cookie made with extremely nutritious ingredients that work together to increase the quantity and nutritional content of breast milk in nursing mothers. Lactation cookies are great for all nursing mothers; helps to increase milk supply for all breastfeeding mothers having trouble breastfeeding, mothers who pump milk for storage, mothers who experience a shortage of milk supply after returning back to work, mothers who have big eaters like I do, mothers experiencing cluster feeding by their babies…etc.
Some people ask me if it works – It sure worked for me and has been working for nursing mothers around the world. The ingredients I have used in this cookie provide immune stimulating compounds, proteins, vitamins, minerals, omega 3 and omega 6 which are very vital component for a baby's developing system. All you need to do is eat a couple of cookies and drink lots of water; breast milk is 70% water and you will notice your breast enlarge when you're lactating. With lactation cookies, you will have a successful breastfeeding experience resulting in a happy, healthy & active baby and we all know a happy baby equals a happy mummy.
Do you want to become a happy nursing mummy? Then order your lactation cookie now?

What are Doshas in Ayurveda?
Tridosha, or the three doshas are bio-rhythms in our body. These are energies in the body that make up our constitution. Balancing these doshas is crucial in order to live a natural and healthy life. The dosahs are made up of the three elements, pitta (fire), kapha (water), and vata (air). The internal balance between these doshas is reflective of the overall well being of the person. The first step here is to know your dosha.
Even though we are all made up of varying levels of each dosha type, there is one that is the most dominant in each of us. Now these can change over the years or seasons but to get a general idea of what your primary dosha might be take our quiz here. Make sure to take this quiz first to help you understand this article or come back to it again after taking it. Okay great! Now that you know what it is here is how you want to look into balancing your dosha.
If your pitta dosha is imbalanced you may feel extremely hot, tired or dehydrated. The first step is to hydrate yourself. The next will involve going for a long cooling walk, preferably near a natural body of water like the ocean. The cool wind and the proximity to water will help re-balance this dosha.
If you seem all over the place, with your mind constantly racing. It might suggest the excessive air is imbalancing your vata. At this moment you will need to seek out the stability of the earth. You need to be one with nature. Try a barefoot walk on the grass a few minutes of the day, every day. You will want to make sure that you get this walk done in and around sunshine as well. Absorbing the heat energy from the sun can help re-balance your vata.
An excess of kapha can make you feel dull, tired or lethargic. In this case it is most important to change your immediate state. A run in a nature filled park or a mountain trail here is ideal while exposed to all of the elements. You will also want to move yourself, so make your effort a little strenuous.
The key to re-harmonizing the kapha dosha is to inhale, absorb the life forces around you. Notice the nature, the wildlife, or the other active people around you and draw from their energy as they will empower you. Whatever activity you like it is important for you to practice this, at least, once a day.
This basic guide shall help you balance your Ayurvedic body types once you know what your main dosha is. If you feel like your symptoms are persisting consult our doctors for more help.


I guess it shouldn't surprise me all that much that God has an affinity for gardens. In Scripture He uses gardens to signify new beginnings, but they are also fertile soil for sweet, poignant pain. From Eden where Creation, in its purest form, was birthed, and where the Creator was betrayed by the ones He perfectly shaped, to Gethsemane where Jesus wept in turmoil in the shadow of the cross that would carry Him – and us – into eternity, but not before He endured a gauntlet of torture, taunting and tumult.
I guess it shouldn't surprise me all that much that our leaden steps through the last three years have taken shape in metaphorical gardens, either. I outlined our journey through infertility with a post titled Infertile But Bountiful and then documented our gutwrenching miscarriage with Where Nothing Is Growing, Everything Is. I didn't intentionally make the parallel, and it wasn't until hours after beginning this post that I realized it was a third look at horticulture in the streams of conflict. But, God.
I could continue waxing poetic about gardening, but the truth is that I've never been able to yield more than 2 okra and some basil leaves. Here's the trick: I start my gardens too big, too wild, too free. If I want to stop visiting the farmer's market this summer, I need to start my garden now. Indoors. Inside the safety of tiny Dixie cups. I need to carefully watch their first, fresh heads peep through the soil and unfurl tiny, new leaves. I need to carefully tailor their environments to their vulnerabilities. Then, when the weather is warmer, I'll need to do something a little cruel. I'll need to pluck them from their tiny, familiar homes and plunk them directly into unknown soil with unfamiliar and unseen boundaries. I'll need to uproot their very existence and convince them that not only can they continue to grow, but they can thrive… that they must embrace the uprooting and re-potting in order to flourish.
It's a touchy thing, uprooting. If I sever their fragile stems from their foundational roots, they can't survive because their lifesource is gone. But, if I trust too naively in the sight of their growing buds inside their miniscule homes, and leave them alone, I'll stunt their growth and watch as they suffocate themselves with their own structure. Any mishandling will crush the seedlings.
But, God. He's the Master Gardener. He cultivates His crop with purpose and care. He never recklessly handles His children, never leaves behind verdant shrapnel or trails of broken stems. He also never uproots without reason or divine timing… never re-pots seedlings whose foundations can't withstand the shocking transition. That doesn't mean the transition is without discomfort. This new soil, it's scary terrain. It's primitive. It's foreign. It's uncharted. But in gardening, here's another secret: the new soil, it's richer. It's deeper. It's ripe for growth and bounty.
He's uprooted me. He's plucked me from the comfort I held dear, and He's carried me further into the garden than I wanted to go, while I've kicked and cried and begged to stay inside my Dixie cup, warm and stagnant, He's held me gently, cupped in His caring palm, and whispered assurances to me. "I have plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future," He promises me time and time again. Even in my doubt and my distress and my fear, He reminds me there is nothing that He's cultivated in me that hasn't borne fruit to strengthen my faith and enrich my life thus far.
This new garden is bigger than the others. Its soil is deeper, but my roots are stronger than they were when they were first planted, because the Gardener tells me that He wouldn't move me without knowing the tenacity of my infrastructure. I can flourish now. I can leave behind who I was before the growth happened because He's called me to be more than a single bud… He's called me to bloom and showcase His glory. This garden is a good garden, and my gardener, He is a sovereign, omnipotent gardener, and I will trust the seasons of His harvests.
