Such identification may help them in finding the person deemed responsible for this shocking hit and run pedestrian accident.
The man was standing on a street corner in Queens when a speeding car smashed into him on the pavement. A witness said that the car continued driving on the pavement for about another block before getting back onto the roadway. The witness also implied that the driver's actions seemed intentional but missed the target.
The victim suffered a shattered femur a shoulder dislocation. These injuries, along with a concussion, could potentially have long-term repercussions. The man realized that he was lucky to be able to tell his tale from his hospital bed after surgery and said that he did not wish the excruciating pain on anybody. He is concerned about not being able to work at the moment and confident that justice will prevail.
New York residents who have been injured in a pedestrian accident may want to pursue recovery of medical expenses, loss of income and pain and suffering. By filing a personal injury claim in a civil court, the victim may be awarded monetary damages in full and fair compensation. To that end, the man is surely hopeful that the authorities will soon locate and apprehend the driver. Those who are unfamiliar with court procedures in New York may find that help is readily available for providing guidance every step of the way.

Socialism and US Government Run Businesses
June/27/2014 5:13AM
It's easy to talk about why the Soviet Union failed. The pie got split equally regardless of how much effort any one individual put into making the pie. The people pretended to work and the government pretended to pay them for their labor.
It's the union shop and the rate buster. The laziest in the union shop will dictate the work rate for the entire work force.
Unfortunately, in the classroom, where grading on the curve used to be the norm, all performers are not equal. Some are just naturally smart and they set the scale for the top of the curve. Others work hard and match that. Some don't care and they set the bottom of the curve along with those who have learning challenges.
Weeds grow in gardens and a great garden must be weeded. Weeds grown in organizations and a high performing organization must be weeded.
When Chuck Noll, the late Chuck Noll, God rest his soul, took over the hapless Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969 this was his opening speech to the team. "I've been your head coach for the past five months and I've watched ever film of every practice of every game that you've played in over the past three years, and I can tell you why you've been losing-you're just not any good. You have no talent, you have no authority, and you can't cover, and you have no discipline. By the time this training camp is over, most of you will not be here." The Steelers won four Super Bowls under Chuck Noll.
There are no Chuck Noll's running any government business. None at the Post Office, none at Amtrak, none at Freddie and Fannie or the FHA, and certainly none at the VA. Here's the proof. A story from Fox News.
"House Committee on Veterans' Affairs Chairman Jeff Miller, R-Fla., led the grilling of Gina Farrisee, the VA's assistant secretary for human resources and administration, zeroing in on a bonus system that saw about $10 million awarded to executives at the Phoenix VA Health Care System alone over a three-year period. In total, the VA gives out an estimated $400 million per year in performance bonuses.
"Knowing what we know now, about the fraudulent actions being taken at facilities all across this country that have harmed our veterans, do you think that the department's assessment that 100 percent of senior managers at VA have been fully successful in the past four years is in line with reality?" Miller asked.
Despite revelations that veterans died languishing on waiting lists and some of the lists were even hidden, at least 65 percent of its senior executive workforce received the bonuses, said Miller.
"As the committee's investigation into the department continues, and new allegations and cover-ups are exposed, it is important that we examine how the department has arrived at the point where it is today," Miller said in prepared remarks. "Sadly, it's a point which has eroded veterans' trust and America's confidence in VA's execution of its mission. Part of the mistrust centers on a belief that VA employees are motivated by financial incentives alone, and I can see why."
"Part of the mistrust centers on a belief that VA employees are motivated by financial incentives alone, and I can see why."- Rep. Jeff Miller, chairman, House Committee on Veterans' Affairs
Farrisee acknowledged the need to hold VA employees and supervisors accountable, particularly regarding performance, but defended the pay bonuses.
"We must recruit and retain the best talent, many of whom require special skills in health care, information technology, management and benefits delivery," Farrisee testified. "In particular, VA requires talented senior executives to manage the complex set of facilities and programs that VA is responsible to administer.
"Performance plans are the foundation of accountability not only for senior executives but for the entire workforce," Farrisee's prepared remarks continued. "Senior leadership engagement in managing executive performance plans, including counseling and mid-year assessments, also serves as the model for the general schedule workforce."
Farrisee, who joined the agency in September, admitted to Miller that not a single member of its senior executive service – a pool of 470 individuals – received less than a fully satisfactory or successful rating. She acknowledged that the VA's recently exposed problems don't jibe with an agency rewarding employees for stellar work.
"Mr. Chairman, if we knew what we knew today at that time, it is unlikely that their performance would have reflected what it reflected at the time the reports were written," Farrisee responded.
Newly-released documents from the VA indicate that 2,100 employees received bonuses over the course of a three-year period, the Arizona Republic reported Tuesday. The records indicated that the bonuses kept increasing, with the VA paying $2.5 million in 2011, $3.5 million in 2012 and $3.9 million last year. The merit-based awards were doled out to nearly 650 employees, including doctors, nurses, secretaries and cleaning staff.
A report by the VA inspector general found that 1,700 veterans seeking treatment at the Phoenix VA hospital were at risk of being "lost or forgotten" after being kept off the official waiting list. Director Sharon Helman and two others were later placed on administrative leave amid allegations of manipulated records and accusations that some veterans may have died waiting for appointments.
Helman, who earns $169,000 annually, saw her $4,900 bonus from last year rescinded by federal VA officials. She told The Associated Press last month that she was appalled by the claim she would manipulate wait times and threaten patient's lives solely to collect a bonus.
Federal lawmakers, meanwhile, have indicated they intend to craft legislation that would ban VA bonuses. Nationwide, VA medical centers reportedly misrepresented or sidetracked scheduling for more than 57,000 former military personnel. Roughly 64,000 veterans were not even registered in the VA's electronic appointment waiting list, the Arizona Republic reports.
"It is highly disturbing that while patient care suffered, bonus pay skyrocketed," U.S. Sen. John McCain told the Arizona Republic. "This must be the subject of a full investigation – in addition to the FBI investigation that is ongoing – and serves as another example of the systemic, cultural problem at the VA that must be addressed."
So there you have it. The solution to this problem from Washington is to build more VA hospitals. Where performance can be terrible, where our best and bravest can be treated poorly, if treated at all, and where your tax dollars can go to support those who couldn't hold a job in the private sector. Where they can be paid lavish salaries with great medical benefits and even better retirement plans.


Come join us this weekend, we are kind of all over the place! We will have a table all weekend at the Victory Market. Also we will be at the Brooklyn Waldorf School Winter Fair ( Saturday 11am - 5 pm) AND the St Lukes School Fair - The Festival of St Nicholas in Tribeca (Saturday10am - 4pm). The shop will be open as usual at Noon to Six. See you somewhere we hope!


Time for some pretty coat hangers at home this weekend.
White paint, glue, trimming [ mine is vintage cotton] and a wooden coat hanger.
Slap some white paint on a clean coat hanger. No prep required. Just paint it on. One coat will do [I wanted it to look a little worn].
After the paint has dried run some craft glue along the base of the coat hanger.
Apply trim making sure you take it around the ends of each corner a little.
Trim off any excess ribbon at sides.
Grab some more trim and tie a ribbon up the top [ this hides any little mistakes too!].
I am spending my weekend wrapping soaps and pruning roses.
Apparently I am a homemaker with vintage flair? If you grab the latest copy of Australian Country Collections [Nov/Dec issue] you can read more about me and get a glimpse inside my home and heart! I was featured in the magazine and am delighted how the article has presented. Thanks to stylist Tahn Scoon for writing a wonderful story to accompany the equally wonderful photo's by Anastasia.
Spreading the love this weekend. I am having some friends over for dinner tonight and I thought I would make a cake with some love in it!
Do yourself a favour and buy yourself a love heart cake tin. Round and square ones are so boring to me!
Grab some roses [real please] and some white ribbon.
Wash your roses thoroughly. Dunk them good in some cold water. This will remove any bugs, bits and pieces.
Cut each rose off at the bud, so just a teeny piece of stalk remains.
Peel off the little bud leaves underneath each rose.
Bake your cake [mine is vanilla bean cake] and make some frosted icing. The real thick stuff!
Ice your cake and be generous. Slap it all over quite thick. Smooth out the edges. Make sure you ice the sides too.
Grab your ribbon and lay it on the bottom of the cake to imply a bouquet.
Place your roses randomly into the cake. Don't make it look to arranged. Just plonk them anywhere.
Now you have a pretty little cake that just screams out love. I guess it would even make a cute wedding cake. Cheap one too!
If there is one positive thing about all this rain we are getting it's that my roses are thriving. Take a look at them! If they didn't need water to survive I would leave them right here on my daughters vintage chair looking as pretty as they do.
I am back from my break and had a fabulous time. Here are a few things I picked up at a little op shop at the historic town of Ulmarra in NSW. At a grand total of $6 for the lot I was quite pleased. A cute rose vase [complete with a few broken leaves] , a sentimental "mum" vase [ I can never go past these] and a vintage scarf. Hope you are all having a wonderful start to the week.
You know that time of the day. It only lasts about 15 minutes. It is the time when the suns last rays push through your back windows. It's almost dark yet the sun wants one last say. Last week as the sun set I looked around my home and realised that I have not published many photo's of my home at night. I thought it about time to share some. Don't you love how the light changes the mood at this time of day? Take a moment to look around your place tonight and appreciate this, as most of us don't take a second glance.
PS: SALE in my online store. 3 days only 25% off store wide. Use code 'shells' on checkout and the discount will be applied.
Well it has rained, and rained and rained! So here I sit in this pretty little beach house by the sea watching the water pour against the windows and the wind howl through the old frames. But I am making the best of my break. Every now and again the rain stops for a brief moment and we run outside and kick come sand or collect some shells. Here are some photo's I took yesterday. Charli collecting flowers, our back fence, our beach house and some serious beach running!
I can almost smell it. My next holiday which begins today. It's my birthday on Monday, and my daughters Tuesday. We are off for a few days to Wooli, a small coastal town in NSW. You may recall I was there last year. Today's project is all about these kind of beach holiday's. Even if you are not going away why not pretend a little...... Here is what you need.
2 x plain white frames [ mine are from Ikea and are 5" x 7"].
Download these wonderful poster prints HERE.
Choose what size you want your printer to print, to match your frame sizes.
Cut out your pictures to size and then frame.
These look great on a bedside table, hall table or even on the wall.
I am blogging from the shop today. There are so many pretty things here! I thought I would give you a little virtual peek at what is making me smile here, right now. Some pretty pink birdy plates/cups/cake stands, a beautiful handmade bag , some stunning jewelery and a cute little mug and swallow spoon. Sweet. I am having fun.

Mother Angelica Jackpot!
A few months ago a beloved uncle died after living a very long and happy life. Recently while cleaning out his house, my mother asked me if there were any items I'd like to keep from my uncle. He was a religious man (though not Catholic), so I was quickly drawn to his (and his deceased x-Catholic wife) collection of religious items...crosses, crucifixes and few statues. Then my father mentioned a shed full of books that I might like to look over. It was in this little shed, safely packed away among hundreds and hundreds of religious books, booklets, missals, novenas and cassette tapes that I hit the Mother Angelica jackpot!
I had read Raymond Arroyo's fantastic book on the biography of Mother Angelica so I recalled the part about Mother's booklets printed by her and her nuns, though I had never seen them- and I've looked believe me!
So imagine my great delight in this final gift my uncle left me in the form of over 30 Mother Angelica booklets printed from the 1960's and beyond! I am just thrilled to have these little gems and I am savoring reading them.

Your Catholic vote matters...eternally.
Labels: Catholic Church, Catholic vote, Election Day, Youtube
Did Catholics change the Sabbath?
The following question was asked on one of Connecticut Catholic Corner's Youtube videos...
NadinaFraser29 asked: Is it true that the Catholic's changed the Shabbat from Saturday to Sunday? And if the answer is yes, how does that differ from the Crucifixion. The established word of God in anyway changed by man is the Crucifying of Jesus all over again because He died for the truth which is The Word of God.
Deacon Ron answers: First of all Christ died for the salvation of our souls, not to preserve any particular truth or to make any kind of a statement.
If I understand your question properly you are questioning why Catholics keep Sunday as the Sabbath and not Saturday. I will try to explain.
There seems to be some confusion here about "the seventh day" and "Shabbat". Although often used interchangeably in modern times, the concepts are not exactly identical. Shabbat is the Jewish observance of the seventh day as a day of rest. It does not mean the seventh day itself. "Seventh" is not a direct translation of "Shabbat".
This observance is done in response to the Lord's commandment to keep the seventh day holy. But what is the seventh day? If you consider Sunday to be the first day of the week, then the seventh day is Saturday. But if you consider Monday to be the first day of the week, then the seventh day is Sunday. The ancient Jews considered Sunday to be the first day of the week as a matter of human tradition. It was not ordained so by God.
How would the ancient Jews know on what day to begin the count of the seven days? The bible does not specifically say that the first day of creation was a Sunday. If you interpret the bible literally starting from the day that Christ died, which is known to be a Friday, and count back all the years, months, and days back to the day of creation, then the first day of creation actually calculates out to be a Thursday!
Catholics, in fact all Christians, keep the seventh day as holy, Except for Seventh day Adventist, all Christians begin the count of seven with Monday so that the seventh day coincides with the resurrection of Christ. How fitting that our holiest day of the week coincides with the holiest event in our Christian faith!
It is true that our calendar week begins on Sunday, but so what? Socially and economically our first day of the week is Monday. What day we begin the seven day count on is not specified in scripture and what we call the first day of the week is irrelevant. What matters is the every seventh day we take time to out to take care of our spiritual lives, to rest from our work, and worship God.
If I have mis-understood your question, please clarify.
God Bless, you,
Deacon Ron

The Catholic View from Catholic Clergy: The Crucifixion of Jesus
Written by: Contributor Deacon Ron
Sin entered the world and came into our lives as a result of the original sin committed by Adam and Eve. Jesus saves us by counteracting or balancing out what, Adam and Eve did.
When Adam and Eve sinned, their motivation was pride. They wanted to be more than they were. In their pride, they thought they deserved to be more. They wanted to be like God. Because of the lie told to them by Satan, they thought they had to eat the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil so that they could be just like God. However, being creatures rather than the creator they could never be just like God, but only resemble him.
Knowing the problems that the Knowledge of good and evil would cause the human race, God forbade them to eat the fruit of that tree. To eat the forbidden fruit, they had to put God's will aside and replace it with their own will, believing it would make them like God. Having replaced God's will with their own, they committed the Original Sin.
To undo this, Jesus had to do just the opposite. He had to put his human will aside and accept God's will. This is what he did during the in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night he was arrested. Then to undo the pride of Adam and Eve, Christ had to suffer humiliation. Jesus allowed himself to be arrested, though innocent of any wrong doing. The Roman soldiers stripped him and put a cloak on him, pretending it was the royal robe of a king. Then they taunted and teased him, pretending he was their king, attempting to humiliate him.
The sinful act of Adam and Eve required the use of their hands. They had to pick the forbidden fruit and eat it. The Roman soldiers put a reed in the hand of Jesus. The Romans pretended it was a royal scepter, again mocking him as king. It was no good to Jesus, since it is just a useless weed. The fruit eaten by Adam and Eve also did them no good, instead it brought them sin and damnation.
Then the Romans chained our Lord to a pillar and whipped him without mercy, punishing his body. The sin of Adam and Eve required the use of their bodies. The punishment of their bodies was that they were banished from the Garden of Eden and had from then on had to work for their food.
However, a human being not just a body, for we have mind and spirit, that is to say, a soul. To punish only the body is to punish only half a person. The punishment of the mind and spirit, the soul of Adam and Eve, was that they no longer had such an intimate connection with God. They were now separated from him by their sin. Jesus also experienced a punishment of mind and spirit. For him, it was the Way of the Cross.
This was accomplished as he carried his cross to the place of crucifixion. On the way, he met his mother. Imagine her pain and suffering knowing that her only son was to be executed by the cruelest punishment the Romans could devise. Now imagine Jesus knowing his mothers pain, knowing he was the reason for her pain, and knowing how the sight of him, covered in blood from the whipping, must have made her feel. Jesus knew these things and it could only have been extreme anguish for him. This was his punishment of his mind and spirit.
At the place of the crucifixion, Jesus was nailed to the cross. St Paul called it a tree. It is in fact the Tree of Life. This is because it is through the cross that we have eternal life. By his death on the cross and his resurrection, we have redemption for our sins and therefore eternal life in heaven.
There was a tree of life in the Garden of Eden also. God banished Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden so that they could not eat the fruit of that Tree of Life. This was necessary because salvation could come only through Jesus Christ and only at the time deemed proper by the Lord.
Through the Mass we are present at the crucifixion and experience its salvation. At Mass, the body of Christ is broken and his blood is separate from his body, just as his body was damaged on the cross and his blood then flowed out of him. Thus, every time we participate in Mass, we are present at the Crucifixion of Christ.
Our first motivation for not sinning is that we ourselves do not want to spend eternity in hell. That is a good and valid motivation. However, if we love someone we do not want him or her to suffer. When we truly love someone, we may even wish to take the suffering upon ourselves so that they do not have to suffer. Knowing that it is because of our sins that Christ had to suffer, in our love for him, we want to reduce his suffering. Therefore, our love for Jesus is another motivation to not sin. Ultimately the responsibility for his suffering is ours. If we truly accept that responsibility, then we are motivated to resist temptation and to not sin.
The willingness of Christ to suffer for us is a loud and clear statement of his love for us and the ultimate example of how we are to love one another. Jesus does not hate us because we make him suffer. He wants no revenge and he does not harbor any anger towards us for causing his suffering. He is the perfect example of how forgiving we must be toward one another.
On every Good Friday, let us pause a moment and reflect on how the crucifixion of Jesus atoned for our sins by undoing what Adam and Eve did. But let us also reflect on the love and forgiveness that our savior is showing us, and then let us show it to one another.

Reflections of Holy Thursday & Good Friday
Last night was Holy Thursday…one of my favorite days of the entire year and also one of the saddest. It remains a favorite of mine because of what Christ was doing and was about to do for love of mankind. I can't help but think it must have been a moment of His life on earth that he most looked forward to and most dreaded. He knew soon his work on earth would be complete "It is finished" and he'd return to the Father in Heaven. That must have caused him great joy and happiness. Yet first he would have to suffer in all ways. He was to be humiliated, spat upon, mocked, ridiculed, betrayed, abandoned, whipped, beaten, tortured and nailed to wood suspended into the air for all to watch him slowly give up his life. The horror of that must have been overwhelming...but not more overwhelming than Christ's love for us.
It saddens me to see Holy Thursday parishes with empty seats. Christ went through ALL of that for love of us and some people can't be bothered to even show up to reflect, celebrate and worship Him. How that must wound Him- again. Has he not suffered enough for us all already?
At the end of Holy Thursday mass Christ in the Eucharist is placed in the Repository (side altar). There the Eucharist is reposed "at rest" until the Easter Vigil. The altar is now stripped bare, during this time people are asked to remain completely silent in honor of Christ (don't get me started on those who ignore this request), while we adore Him and pray. I love this time- perhaps it is my favorite time of the entire year within the Church as the silence after such a moving and emotional mass gives me great depth in reflection. I am an easily distracted person, so the silence is particularly helpful to me in my worship and prayer time.
Soon parish volunteers silently begin to finish the stripping of the altar until the lights dim and we are left with flickering candles around the Repository and people on their knees adoring, worshiping and praying to Christ. 'What a wonderful time to be Catholic!' my heart is singing as I kneel and thank Jesus for his tremendous suffering! To have Holy Thursday in the Catholic Church is truly an awe inspiring event to look forward to each year.
Reflections on Good Friday
I had never participated in a Way of the Cross walk until I became a Catholic. I could have, it's certainly not limited to Catholics alone. As a matter of fact in my town we have an Ecumenical Way of the Cross walk at noon each Good Friday. The walk is open to our town and surrounding towns with several churches and Catholic parishes working together to make our way of the Cross starting from one church and ending at another, reading scriptures, praying and singing along the way. My two favorite songs for this are "Lord of the Dance "(which we begin with) and "Were you there when they crucified my Lord?" which we end with.
These photos are from the noon Ecumenical Way of the Cross walk today in the town of Durham, Ct. The walk began at Notre Dame Catholic Parish, stopped in front of the United Churches of Durham and ended at The Church of the Epiphany (Episcopal) in Durham. Middlefield churches also participated in the walk.
But Good Friday is more than cross walking…it's the day Christ gave up his life, becoming our sacrifice. He took up his cross for us…we must ask ourselves…are we taking up our own crosses for Him?
[ The Way of the Cross ] Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." [Mark 8:34]

The National Catholic Register Wins Best Catholic Newspaper Award for Two Consecutive Years
Irondale, AL – The National Catholic Register has won the About.com 2012 Readers' Choice Award for Best Catholic Newspaper for the second year in a row. Now in its fifth year, the About.com Readers' Choice Awards honor the best products, features and services across more than a dozen categories, ranging from technology to hobbies to parenting and more, as selected by About.com readers. The Register was nominated in five different categories.
"This year's Readers' Choice Awards program had a record number of nominations submitted across dozens of categories and featured hundreds of finalists," said Margot Weiss, managing editor of About.com. "We are thankful to all our readers for their participation and congratulate the National Catholic Register on their success."
The National Catholic Register has been under the direction of EWTN Global Catholic Network since February, 2011. "Just over a year ago, the Register became an important part of the EWTN family. This award is a great affirmation that the content of the Register continues to meet the needs of the faithful as they grapple with the challenges of our times," said Michael Warsaw, EWTN's president and chief executive officer and the publisher of the National Catholic Register.
"All signs are pointing upwards for the Register," said Dan Burke, executive director of the National Catholic Register. "We continue to beat our monthly subscription goals, which is remarkable for a print publication in this day and age."
The Register's mission is to deliver a measure of hope and confidence in every issue and combat the culture's aggressive disregard for the sanctity of human life, traditional family values and reverence for our faith. "The impact that the Register is able to have on the Church — by informing and inspiring people about the key issues of the day — is a blessing our entire team is proud to be a part of," said Warsaw. "We pray that God continues to bless our efforts, as we work in faith to be the newspaper of record for the Church in America."

I got some really great ones from this collage, including: Write the conversation between the boy and the Giant Fish. Tell whether the Boy with the Shovel is digging something up or burying something (I confess, my mind went immediately to him burying a dead body. And -then- digging it back up again!) And what song is the Girl in Black singing to the Universe? (do you also see an 70's version of Stevie Nicks?) But my favorite prompt out of the bunch wasn't even a full prompt, per se. It was a single phrase within the prompt, describing the foliage at the bottom of the piece as looking like a bundle of "floating mistletoe."
This thought, in turn makes me ponder the omni-presence of love. That it doesn't –have- to be attached to any one person, place or thing. That it is indeed, everywhere, that we're breathing in love spores with virtually every breath we take.
But can I come to –live- in that realization? Can I get to the place where I –look- for love, and like a child stumbling upon magic with every step, expecting to, and managing to –find- it?
Can I let go of the concept that this person, and this person, and this one, and that one over there, is somehow loving me "wrong" and look instead to having my love needs filled by the simple majesty of existence?
Can I walk my days as if there were a bundle of floating mistletoe above my head, giggling like a school girl every time I get mysteriously and magically kissed?
Can I let myself be kissed by life, by love?
I'd certainly like to try.

This afternoon immersion is an opportunity to deeply experience and begin to understand the science and spirit of the traditional Ashtanga yoga system. Yoga Chikitsa, the Primary Series, is a therapeutic combination of asana, vinyasa, bandha, and drishti (posture, breath/movement coordination, awareness of the subtle energetic centers, and gazing points).
You are invited to celebrate in style with Cara Brostrom and Kate ODonnell, Boston's local co-authors. Festive attire, sampling of recipes from the book, mocktails, mingling, and book signing. Your ticket includes a signed copy of the book. Space is limited- act now.

Ayurvedic refreshments will be served. Please pre-register if you would like to attend, so I can make enough chai! If you just want a signed copy, swing by at 9.
Kate O'Donnell, a Milford native, and author of The Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook: A Seasonal Guide to Living Well, joins us at WML on Dec 10, 6:30-8PM to discuss the ancient healing system of India, and how to apply Ayurveda for your health. Kate will offer a reading from her book, released by Shambhala Publications Dec 1. Signed copies will be available for purchase.
Join Kate for an introduction to cooking with Ayurveda's medicinal spices, and take home a signed copy of her new book to get started on preparing simple, healthy meals according to India's ancient healing system. Chai will be served.
This program is for beginning cooks and seasoned cooks, anyone wanting to learn more about how to apply the traditional principles and techniques of Ayurvedic cookery in their kitchen and daily life. The program will present daily self-care practices, ayurvedic digestion and nutrition basics, and recipes, tools and techniques for preparing fresh, nourishing meals at home without a lot of fuss.
Participants will be encouraged to roll up the sleeves and help out in the kitchen, applying techniques and tools, and tasting the dishes we are creating.

We were asked to work with a regular client to provide six units to replace the existing aged swimming pool extract AHU's. The brief was to ensure each unit matched the existing duct and coil connections so that minimal on site modifications were required.
A full inspection of the existing main supply unit was carried out to ensure suitability between the supply and extract run around coil systems. Each unit was a special vertical upward model comprising of filtration, direct drive fan, run around coil and outlet cowl. All components and surfaces were protected against a chlorinated atmosphere.
