Good Going Lake Malaren is one of the largest lakes in Sweden, next to the city of Stockholm. The lake’s area is 1,140 square km and its greatest depth is 64 metres. Its many islands contain an incredibly rich heritage, a beautiful lush historical landscape with palaces, old churches, rune stones, forty castles, and two World Heritage Sites , the Palace of Drottningholm on the island of Lovo and the Viking sites of Birka on Bjorkb and HovgArden on Adelso.
The Royal domain of Drottningliolm with its Chinese pavilion, wooden theatre, and Baroque gardens is a stunning 17th century palace complex, modeled on Versailles and set in the pastoral landscape of Lovo. Birka, Sweden’s most ancient city, and one of its most famous historic monuments, is situated on Bjorko, an island that today has a romantic, desolate air about it.
Birka was founded at the end of the 8th century and for nearly 200 years was at the centre of European trade In the late 10th century the build up of sediment made the lake too shallow for ships to negotiate and the city was abandoned.
Hovgarden, the kings farm on the neighbouring island of Adelso, remained in use until the late Middle Ages. Today these lovely islands are beautiful places in which to walk and ride as well as see the incredibly well preserved Viking ruins.
The landscape of Lake Malaren was formed at the end of the lee Age when the land started to rise as a result of the gradual melting of the ice-cap lifting the tons of pressure that had been bearing down on it.
Quite apart from the cultural heritage contained in these islands, the moraine ridges and lush valleys are scenically lovely. They include rolling farmland dotted with oak trees, pine forest on rocky hills, and trees and grasses growing right down to the water’s edge.

Good Going Nothing quite beats the smell of a new car, does it? That clean leathery fragrance is enough to make your mouth water! Recent offers have made the idea of buying a new car more appealing to many people; however, you should go to the dealership with a few tips in mind.
1.Cost-There may be deals aplenty on new car sales but you still have to remember that once the nothing down, 0% financing is approved you will now have another monthly payment. You should carefully consider your budget before heading to the lot.
2. Insurance- If you have an older vehicle there is a good chance you carry liability insurance only. You will have to kiss that policy good bye when you purchase a new car, full coverage will be your new best friend and have a hefty price tag to boot. In addition, if you have a teen driver on your policy and upgrade the family sedan to a sports car you can expect your insurance to sharply increase.
3. Brand Research- Whether you are buying a new or used vehicle you should do your homework. Some cars are prone to problems right off the assembly line especially the newest designs. For instance, when Dodge released their new truck style a few years ago consumers were having all kinds of transmission problems.
4. Lemon Laws- Most states have a lemon law in effect that protects you when you purchase a car. However, do not be fooled into thinking that everything is covered by this law. Check your local lemon laws before you sign on the dotted line.
5. Extended Warranty- Determine if you will need an extended warranty before the salesperson offers. New cars come with extensive warranties already and you will likely not need the extended services that are unless you plan on this being the last car purchase you make for a very long time.
Buying a new car can be exhilarating, however you should arm yourself with some facts first. You do not want to get home and suddenly realize you cannot afford the car or insurance! Take the time to consider the purchase carefully since this can be a substantial investment.

Good Going Introduction
Central to the mythology of mirrors is Narcissus a Boeotian hero, who disliked those who loved him for his own natural beauty. He famously gazed into a pool of water and was so fascinated with the reflection, that he was unable to bring himself to leave the image. Not realising that the image he could see was of his own natural beauty, he couldn’t bring himself to leave the image, and he perished.
The concept of how the mirror works is quite simple. It stems simply from the reflective surface of still water and therefore nature plays its part. When you look down into a puddle or a dark pool of water, the smooth water reflects the light straight back into your eyes.
Mirrors work in a similar way, in that a mirror is made up of a coated glass surface which when a polished metal surface or metal film is applied behind the glass, light cannot shine through and so reflects the image back. Young children especially, are always fascinated when they look into a mirror for the first time and see their own reflection staring back at them. Anyone who has young children will remember the vision of their young daughter kissing their image on a mirror.My eight year old daughter loves sitting in front of her mirror applying her make up nearly as much as my fifteen year old daughter!
Where would we be today without mirrors? Mirrors are generally used for personal grooming or interior decoration and have evolved from a luxury item into a necessity. There is an enormous variety of mirror shapes and sizes and over the years, mirrors have gradually developed to meet many different requirements. Today there is a large selection of mirrors , ranging from small mirrors to large mirrors, framed, unframed and includes bathroom mirrors, decorative mirrors, illuminated mirrors, LED mirrors, shaving mirrors, compact mirrors and demister mirrors.
Away from personal use, mirrors are also used in industry as part of scientific apparatus such as cameras, lasers, telescopes and periscopes, to reflect light and used as tools in dentistry and medical care.Not to mention the beauty and hair salon industries.
History of Mirrors
The history of mirrors as far as we can see dates back over 8,000 years. The earliest known mirrors were made from pieces of polished stone such as obsidian, a naturally occurring glass from cooled volcanic lava flows. In Anatolia in Turkey, examples of obsidian mirrors dated at around 6000 BC have been found. In south and central America, polished stone mirrors from around 2000 BC on wards have also been found. From around 3000 BC mirrors of polished copper are known to have been crafted in ancient Egypt.
The first metal coated glass mirrors are thought to have been made in the first century AD, in Sidon, known today as Lebanon. The Roman author Pliny makes reference to glass mirrors backed with gold leaf in his Naturalis Historia, one of the largest reference books to have survived from the Roman Empire, which focused on natural and man-made objects and was written in around 77 AD.
In the 10th Century Arabian Physicists, considered different types of mirrors, reflecting mirrors and parabolic mirrors and another discussed concave and convex mirrors in both cylindrical and spherical geometries. In undertaking various experiments with mirrors, finding the point on a convex mirror at which a ray of light coming from one point is reflected to another point was solved.
During the period of the 14th to 17th Centuries, across Europe a method of coating glass with a tin-mercury amalgam was perfected by manufacturers. Venice was recognised for its glass making expertise and soon became a centre of mirror production using this new technique. Glass mirrors from this period were extremely expensive luxuries. Manufacturers also evolved in London, France and Germany.
The particular process of silvering to produce the first silvered-glass mirror is credited to German chemist Justus von Liebig in 1835. He developed a process to apply a thin layer of metallic silver onto glass through the chemical reduction of silver nitrate. The process was adapted for mass production and led to the greater availability of affordable mirrors and formed the basis of what we now consider the normal way to produce a mirror today.
The evolution of the mirror over the years is quite interesting, if like me you love mirrors! It has evolved from a luxury item to an item which is now taken for granted in daily use. Today, walk into any DIY store to look at mirrors and the selection is vast, with many technology features now finding there way into mirrors, to give added simplicity, luxury and decoration.
A recent development in the mirror industry is the LED bathroom mirror featuring tiny LED lights inside the glass, great for shaving or putting on makeup.
How are Mirrors Made?
The manufacture of mirrors includes the application to a suitable material of a reflective coating. Glass is the most common material, due to its ability to take a smooth finish and its rigidity. Glass is also more scratch resistant than many other materials.
Early mirrors were made of solid metal, bronze or silver and they were far too expensive for most to be able to afford. Metal is also prone to corrosion and because of polished metal’s low emissivity, antique mirrors were less suitable for indoor use. With indoor lighting at the time supplied by candles or lanterns, the metal mirrors reflected a much darker picturecompared to modern glass mirrors.
In modern times ‘float glass’ is used in the manufacture of mirrors, which is a flat ribbon of glass which is run out of a furnace and along the surface of a bath of molten tin. The temperature of both the glass and molten tin is controlled to enable both surfaces to be made perfectly flat. There are now three common types of mirrors: plain – which has a flat surface, and the two spherical types of mirrors: the convex and the concave. The concave and convex mirrors can be used in an entertaining way, when used at fairgrounds or amusement parks to distort peoples figures reflected in them through bloating, stretching and shrinking, the person or object in front of them. I challenge even the most dour faced individual to stand in front of a mirror in a hall of mirrors without laughing at their reflection!
In some applications, a mirror isn’t a mirror at all. For example, when used in public conveniences, especially in public or factory toilets, where for reasons of cost and the need for greater durability, a single polished metal sheet is often installed as a form of mirror.
Different Types of Mirror
Throughout the ages, mirrors have been employed as symbols of truth, deception and vanity. Mention a mirror and you instantly know that if you look into one, you will see your own reflection staring back at you. The image you see will resemble your own appearance. In optical principles, the reflections in mirrors do not totally match the objects in front of them. When looking into the mirror, trace the contour of the reflection of your head in a mirror. The reflection may correspond in proportion, but will generally be half in actual size.
With such a variety and huge range of mirrors now available, much has been made of the amount of money spent in purchasing mirrors especially by women, although in this day and age with an increase in men purchasing cosmetics, some men will also be vain enough to carry a mirror.
The vain Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs famously asked her special mirror, “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” Mirrors are synonymous with truth.
Mirrors are frequently used in interior decoration to create an illusion of space, and to decorate and amplify the apparent size of a room. They will be used around the home, the office, a pub, club or restaurant to good effect. They work particularly well in night clubs, reflecting the many images of light in the club or room to create a feeling of a much bigger space.
Infinity Mirrors provide an effect of never reaching an end, known as ‘infinity breaking’ and are particularly effective when used in a dark environment. I remember experiencing this phenomenon for the first time as a child in a large department store lift, where mirrors where on all sides of the elevator car. For those who are not good in lifts I should think this effect probably does nothing to calm them, perhaps that’s why you don’t see lifts like this anymore Or is it just because I’m getting old and that was a particular style popular in the 70’s!
My next favourite kind of mirror after the infinity mirror is the heated mirror, these mirrors have a heating element or what is called a demister pad mounted on the back. The reason a mirror steams up when you have a shower is because the surface temperature of the mirror is colder than the air temperature and causes the water vapour in the air to condense on the mirror. Some bright spark realised long ago that it if you heated the mirror this would avoid it steaming up, brilliant!
For many years heated mirrors have only featured in very expensive bathrooms usually costing thousands, and quality hotels have used heated mirrors as a neat differentiator from the increasingly popular budget hotels and motels. Of course it is not until you step out of the hotel shower and see yourself in the mirror that you realise it is there! Whilst at the back of your mind you realise this is one of the reasons why this room is more expensive than the other hotel across the street.
Last week I heard the BBC Radio 2 DJ Ken Bruce state that the best shave you ever had will have been in a hotel, to which he attributed the benefit of the heated bathroom mirror as the main reason. I have to agree, and every time I stay in (nice) hotel I always have a really good look at the bathroom with a view to reproducing the best of its features in my own home.
In 1980, ska group The Beat had a UK top ten hit with ‘Mirror in the Bathroom’ and the bathroom is probably the location where we tend to study ourselves the most in mirrors. Many will say that it is not wise to look at yourself in the mirror first thing in the morning, but the bathroom is often the first port of call in the morning. Many bathrooms feature a main bathroom mirror positioned on a wall and a bathroom cabinet with mirror doors. Other than the “oh my god” do I really look like that expression, the uses of a mirror or mirrors in a bathroom will generally be to aid the application of make up, hair styling or shaving.
One of the major problems with bathroom mirrors is that after showering or bathing, the mirror is steamed up. A recent addition in the manufacture of heated mirrors is the inclusion of a demister pad which clears the mirror for use in mere seconds. Imagine never having to again wait for the steam of the bathroom to disappear from the mirror, or having to open the window, before using the mirror to shave or apply make up. The bathroom mirror demister or steam free bathroom mirror is a great invention. Some manufacturers refer to these products as fog free bathroom mirrors and there is now a huge range available, again some with back lights, LED lighting and built in shaver sockets.
Demister mirrors and steam free bathroom mirrors are not the only recent developments on mirrors. As suggested above another reasonably new product is the illuminated bathroom mirror. Illuminated mirrors maintain the features of a simple mirror, but will enhance any environment in which they are used with the addition of lighting. As with all mirrors, the range of illuminated mirrors is extensive, with a variety of sizes and shapes available. An Illuminated mirror with shaver point can also be purchased. Illuminated bathroom cabinets with or without shaver sockets are also available.
Mirrors with back lit LED lights will enhance any bathroom or environment in which they are installed. Being of low energy consumption LED, or light emitting diode, are more environmentally friendly than traditional bulbs. They are designed to withstand the moisture of the bathroom environment. So water vapour mist will not cause a problem. As a real luxury mirror, illuminated bathroom mirrors and bathroom mirrors with LED lighting can also include a demister pad, to demist the mirror in just a few seconds and an on/off sensor to activate the lights as soon as motion is detected in front of the mirror.
As a bathroom accessory the mirror should come high on the list, in fact can you really have a finished bathroom without a mirror? The enormous selection of styles, types, shapes and sizes means that there must be a mirror to match anyone’s budget. Although some of the latest technological versions such as illuminated, back lit and LED mirrors could be considered to be luxury items, some are not as expensive as you may think.
A top of the range LED mirror features a demister pad and shaver socket, great for shaving straight out of the shower, or if like me, you always get the second go in the bathroom after someone else has just had a shower!
Mirrors, Superstition and Auspicious Energy Flow
I have always loved mirrors, probably why I have ended up in the mirrors business! When I was at school I did a project on them, this was before the internet was invented mind so I trawled through piles and piles of reference books in both the school and local library for months. These days of course it would only take an hour on Google, kids these days don’t know how easy they’ve got it!
Once you get immersed in mirrors as I did all those years ago, or ‘mirros’ as I frequently misspelled it, and start researching them, you find that they play a major part in all aspects of life. Mirrors also feature in superstitions. One of the most commonly known superstitions is that someone who breaks a mirror will receive seven years bad luck. A popular belief for this superstition is that mirrors are a reflection of the soul and if a mirror is broken, then part of the soul is broken. Added to this, some believe that the soul regenerates every seven years in an unbroken condition, hence the seven years of bad luck. I bet you’ve always wondered why that was so I’m glad to share that with you!
It is also said that the mirror does not lie. A mirror can show only the truth. It is a very bad omen indeed to see something in a mirror which should not be there! Some cultures also have a custom that a newborn child should not look into a mirror until its first birthday because its soul is still forming.
In the southern United States, it used to be customary to cover the mirrors in a house where the wake of a deceased person was being held. If a mirror was left uncovered or exposed, people believed that the deceased person’s soul would become trapped in any uncovered mirror. It was also thought that mirrors unexpectedly falling or mysteriously cracking were believed to be haunted.
In the ancient art of Feng Shui mirror placement is considered very important. There is a lot of information available about this, and it is a subject that can’t be covered in a mere paragraph or two here. But Chi energy flow can be influenced by mirrors so where the energy needs to be diverted, mirrors can be used for this to great effect. Personally I don’t really follow these rules, although my mum has mirrors strategically placed all over her house to redirect in-auspicious energy! One of the principles I do follow though is to make sure I don’t have any mirrors facing my bed, or the kids beds, as this is said to reflect your dreams back onto you whilst you are sleeping, which is not a good thing if it’s a nightmare!
Conclusion
A mirror is defined as a coated glass surface for reflecting images. There is a huge range of mirrors for domestic use, and available in many shapes and sizes. The most commonly seen uses of mirrors are for personal grooming and interior decoration. As a race we are thoroughly addicted to mirrors. Who can honestly say that they can walk past a mirror without taking a look at themselves?
Over time, mirrors have evolved from a luxury item to an item of necessity and many particularly women will always carry a mirror in their hand bags. However, today with technological advancements, some mirrors will be seen as a luxury, particularly those which include illumination, LED or demisting devices. As individuals we spend many hours of our life in a bathroom, so why not treat yourself to one of life’s little luxuries and indulge in a stylish bathroom mirror? After all, let’s be honest, who can really live without looking in a mirror every day?

Good Going The month of September we begin to bring plants back indoors. There may be a long and sultry Indian summer later, but nature generally reminds us to get busy by providing a cold snap in the early days of the month after which she may relent and give us a reprieve of warm weather for a few more weeks. There is really no excuse for unreadiness when winter arrives.
House plants must be taken indoors before greenhouse plants, contrary to a popular notion. The danger is that long before frost damage even threatens, the cool moist weather will cause the plants to grow rapidly and produce soft succulent growth. Brought indoors, with dry heat instead of cold night dews, they soon collapse. They should be brought indoors before windows are closed, if not promptly on Labor Day, not too long thereafter. Thus the hazardous transition is minimized. This is an important secret of old-fashioned green thumb technique.
The usual grooming can be given plants at this time. Surface soil is removed from about the top of the plant without disturbing the roots and replaced with good potting soil. In general repotting or any root disturbance at this time should be avoided since this is an added shock. Spraying and removal of poor or unshapely growth complete the preparation.
Last year’s dish gardens may be improved by adding small plants and re-moving those that have grown out of proportion to the container. New pebbles or freshly crushed brick may pep up the appearance of paths. Water once with a soluble fertilizer and select a location receiving the maximum sun indoors. (A sunny location is also needed by most flowering plants and bulbs including geraniums and potted annuals.)
Many garden perennials and choice wild-flower clumps potted now and well cared for in a coldframe may be forced indoors early next year – the familiar flower-show technique.
Foliage plants may show sunburn after a summer outdoors (light yellowing or faded colors) – but new foliage grown in cooler weather should be large and well colored but expect some leaf drop as the acclimation process gets underway.
Cuttings of geraniums, chinese hibiscus and other sun-loving succulents have already been taken by diligent gardeners, but it is not too late to do so. (Yes, garden pelargonium is a “succulent subshrub.”)
Potting of freesia, nerine, Lycoris radiata and L. aurea, ornithogalum, lachenalia, veltheimia and chinese hibiscus for early bloom may still be done. These should be placed in a dry sunny coldframe together with last year’s pottings. The South African bulbs, ripened and dormant after the summer sunshine and drought, will feel the cooling days and cooler nights by making roots and starting top growth. With a little fresh soil and fertilizer they will quickly respond to watering and begin to grow.
Show chrysanthemums are head high in the greenhouses of some fanciers. Some are in bud, this depending largely on the balance of light and darkness as well as on the variety grown. Potted chrysanthemums which have spent the summer outdoors may be brought in now for later bloom.

Good Going Baby bedding is the centerpiece to any nursery and sets the tone for everything from the furniture to wall color. No matter the gender of the baby, the type of bedding used in the infant’s room signifies the decorating style of the parents and what kind of feelings they want the room to evoke. Baby bedding sets are made of different of different fabrics from the more expensive silk to regular standards.
The crib bumper and baby blanket usually form a vital part of the nursery theme. Baby bedding has been classified into two, as reflected in the market: train and plane designs for boys, and flower and butterfly designs for girls.
Baby girl bedding set continues to be a huge profit producer for baby boutiques and chain stores alike which cater to every taste, even offering custom bedding ensembles for the truly discerning parents who want to set themselves and their infant’s nursery apart from the common pickings of average store selections.
Large blankets can be great to decorate the wall or a rocking chair, however they should not be used for the baby since it could be a suffocating hazard. Crib bumpers are also included in this category. You won’t use them until the baby is old enough, so even if they accidentally roll against the bumper, they will not be smothered. Whatever be the case, baby blankets and crib bumpers continue to be the two most important components in nursery decoration.
Baby crib bedding sets do come as an all-in-one package with everything you need, or you can select individual pieces from the same line to suit your needs. Eventually,baby bedding gives pleasure more to the parents than to the babies because a baby takes some time to fix his attention on colors, shapes and also faces.
No infant comes into the world caring if there is an alphabet mobile or a French provincial chandelier hanging in their rooms. Raising a happy baby will require you to build a safe healthy environment for your baby, that you can provide it to him by a safe crib, a warm blanket and comfortable clothing. And a good taste in these nursery decor items will raise a happy child with a great taste in clothing.
As in the past, the future holds an important place for the lasting colorful and decorative impression an infant gets from growing up closely surrounded by its baby bedding. Parents have the responsibility of choosing baby bedding until babies are able to talk and express their desires.

Good Going The pride about driving your own car and being able to drive could be attributed to the view that it demonstrates a clear stage of liberty. This is the reason why most young people are inclined to practice how to drive at the age of seventeen, which is the minimum age constraint by law. After much determination, they manage to do well on their driving test hoping they have overcome the only barrier between them and driving. This is when they learn that young driver car insurance is pretty expensive and it is yet an extra barrier for them to conquer.
Obviously, this reality shows itself when the young driver applies for his/her first quote for 17 year old car insurance. After much disappointment, frantic quests are then carried out in the optimism that the 1st estimate was an error. After the reality has sunk in (after having acquired numerous quotes for higher than expected premiums), the young driver then accepts this truth and half-heartedly sets out to uncover alternative tactics of getting cheaper car insurance.
Cheap young drivers car insurance is an assurance that is seldom fulfilled. The best every young driver could do is to try to buy the cheapest policy on offer.
The pass plus examination is for new and young car drivers. It is a rigorous teaching course which helps new drivers to become better drivers. Clear the pass plus and you should get a discount of up to 35% off your car insurance. Obataining the Pass Plus will cost about £100 but considering the elevated cost of car insurance for new drivers you might recover more than this on your car insurance quote. Ask your driving teacher for details.

Good Going Various surgical and scientific procedures today study means of slowing down the aging process, or even stopping it completely. They do life extension, genetic and tissue engineering. The amounts of success realized in these ventures are few, yet people press on. As for me, I commend such people who are pressing on because by pressing on, they encourage the scientists to come up with better anti aging solutions with Anti aging skin care
Immortality has a tang to it. Offering you the chance to see what happens a few hundred years from now. Not by watching futuristic movies or reading sci-fi novels, but by experiencing it yourself – in person. This is what anti aging has been working on for the past several decades, and many believe it is close to that answer now.
When you are looking to slow down the process as you age, you want to consider anti aging. Through the several means contained in this, you may prevent, or even reverse the effects of age on your body. More than that, if you can get yourself to think along such lines, even your mind can be transformed altogether.
I was shocked one day when my wife suddenly went on a tirade about growing old, losing her teeth, and her breasts sagging. I had never thought that was such a big deal. I actually even looked forward to the time when my grandkids would gather around me and I would tell them stories of when I was a gallant young man. But of course, not everyone wants the same thing.
You should make a habit of exercising daily, whatever you are into. Anti aging processes work better on your body – and on your mind – if you are in state of wellbeing, both physically and mentally. Even your doctor will advise it.
There is much evidence to support stories of Egyptians being amongst the earliest to venture into anti aging. Way back in history, they displayed a lot of interest in the olive leaf, which was supposed to promote longer life, and increase beauty. Coupled with this, there is a lot to be seen in the marking and drawings on the walls of the pyramids that speak of the afterlife.
Leaders of women’s movements in the United States are amongst the most vocal concerning anti age actions. Many of what they preach counters the direction taken by gerontologists who think that there is something wrong with growing old. For instance, Betty Friedan’s book The Fountain of Youth paints positive outlooks on age and aging.
If you want to learn about old age, Anti Aging and how to manage your life when you get there, you might want to look into the lives of some people who have actually been there. Those who live to see a hundred and beyond certainly have a story to tell, and they are willing to. You should pay attention, and not go bumbling around, seeking for ways to not get old.

Good Going Many people seem to never care for their vehicle unless it goes dead. Just like a stitch in time saves nine, keeping your car’s transmission in good shape will help you to save loads of money on repair later on. Once you notice any problem in the working of your car, make sure you get it fixed at the earliest to prevent any further damage.
Eagle Transmission in Rowlett Texas offers the best Rowlett transmission repairs available. We always do a free computer diagnosis of your transmission before any repairs are started. Call us at 972-412-0242
Your transmission is one of the forgotten components of your car, but without a smoothly operating transmission you may find yourself stranded at the side of a 12 lane highway. Here are some things to watch for:
- Warning lights telling you to add transmission fluid
- Thumping or lagging when shifting
- Failure to shift/delays when shifting
- Applying gas only increases the speed of engine, not that of the car
- Car shows signs of sluggishness when cold and does not go properly till it is warmed up
- Any stains in colors of red, pink or brown below your car
- Unusual noises such as grinding or clunking while driving or halting the car
- Engine overheating
If you have been noticing any of the these tell-tale signs with your car, it probably means it is time to have your transmission looked at.
Today’s vehicles are very sophisticated and automatic car transmission systems are very complicated. While relatively rare, a defect in your transmission system could even make your car unsafe to drive.
Some of the top causes that can damage your car’s transmission include overheating, harsh driving, failure to keep fluids at their proper level, do-it-yourself maintenance, and letting an inexperienced technician work on the transmission.
It almost goes without saying that repairing a car’s transmission can be quite an expensive repair. That makes proper maintenance and transmission service very important. It is the best way to cut down on repairs that might have otherwise have happened later on down the road.
