Trombone Wow Cool

Image
TROMBONE  My son has a new instrument this year. It comes in a big hard case cool looking case. Its the trombone. I read about this guy in the paper Troy Andrews he's coming to the Blues Fest. So I looked him up. Wow maybe the trombone will be cool after all. He wanted to do drums and percussion but his new teacher this year said they were already too many drummers, his only objective is to make a school band. So he brings home this heavy, professional looking, hard, grey case. I say show me. He takes it out. Its gold and glistens as the sun hits it. He puts it together and it looks amazing .  He blows it it sounds like a fart. hah ahahaha So its the farting instrument. I will be a miracle if he can make it sound good. This guy Trombone Shorty is great so I will show my son this to give his some inspiration for his lesson today. Have a look at this youtube clip.

Android antivirus protection for smartphones and tablets, laptops, best android apps Nearly everyone has a smartphone now. (I haven't brought one yet as my Nokia still works perfectly.) Protect your android smartphone and tablets with this free avg app. I didn't even think about this with my sons tablet. I will be installing it now. http://www.avgmobilation.com/android/free-antivirus Protect your smart phone- Never be tempted to simply click a link that looks okay and install what purports to be a free version of an antivirus package. Check the URL; if it isn’t part of a vendor’s official website, don’t visit the page.  Fake antivirus software, written to infect your device or make you think it’s protected when it’s not, has now made its way to smartphones. If you’ve found a package on an app store, click through to the software vendor’s website and download it from there.  http://mylifescoop.com/2013/03/01/smartphone-security-what-you-need-to-know/ Great apps for a

BIG Perfect Waves are here from Cyclone Sandy. 15/3/2013 Swell size: 3-4ft ESE Conditions are starting to moderate with the swell moving to the ESE as Cyclone Sandra tracks off more to the S. It's in the 3-4ft range with bigger sets and clean with SW winds early. SSE winds in the 15-20 knot range forecast for later and the tide is coming in to a high at 10.20am, dropping to a low at 4.20pm. Once again it's the points that are the go, with the Coolangatta points the pick having some very nice ones from Snapper to Kirra. There is still a lot of water moving around. Todays coast watch. It says 3-4 but the wave face is 10-12ft. Love that Ocean! See you out in the surf! SALTY. surfergirlgoldcoast.blogspot.com/

CONGRATS Kelly Slater. You didi it again - Magic! Check out the highlights from the final of the Quiksilver Pro held at Kirra. 13/3/2013.  It was big steep and scary drops, I wouldn't even surf in it. I stood on Kirra Point , right in the middle of the ocean really. It was hot and crowded for the semis.  Then the rain came coupled with the wind it was actually cold. It was the most amazing surfing I have ever seen. In challenging difficult conditiions. For the final I had to have arguments with people so they would not go in  front of me. As they blocked the  view  for me and everyone else. Luckily they were mainly Brazilian, so my  Portuguese  came in handy. One guy even challenged me and wanted to argue. Instead of being apologetic he said,  "Is this your rock" So arrogant and selfish. He moved eventually.  You can Watch on the link- Kelly, Joel and Mick, just tube and barrel wow.

Whats happening to women?

IERA event at UCL on 9 March : Lawrence Krauss Have just learned that iERA has now been banned from hosting further events at UCL because of the incident regarding segregated seating at the event at which I appeared . I n Australia, they finally stood up to the narrow minded Middle eastern population. The riots in Sydney were about Middle eastern men spitting on women, at the beach in their bikinis and calling them terrible names. This had been happening for about 15 years. Till Australia stood up and said - NO MORE.  The fact the Middle eastern men treat their women like object for their own desire and pleasure, does not work in our western society. They hurt humiliate and lock them and their freedom away.  Apparently in France, when its pray time if they have to prey and they are crossing the road- the traffic has to wait for them. What the??

Negotiating things when they are out of waranty. Warranty or Warrantee?

Image
NEGOTIATING POST-WARRANTY REPAIRS PAYS OFF We managed to negotiate a great deal for repairs on our out-of-warranty mower and save $424! Three years ago we bought a new lawnmower at a cost of $500. It came with a two-year warranty, but exactly three years later it refused to start!  So off to the mower shop we went only to be told a valve had come loose inside the engine. This had damaged other bits internally and the mower was not repairable. As the warranty had run out 12 months earlier we now faced buying another mower at a minimum of $550 new! Not one to just accept this, I rang the company that makes the engines to discuss why their product should fail after just three years. After making a point that I had bought the mower because of their good name and expected it to last a lot longer than it did, we came to an agreement. They would supply a new engine and I would pay for the labour to have it fitted.  The end result was that I paid $126 for the labour and got a new engine, a
