I really didn t mean to be devious. I was worried about his health and mine. I finally went cold turkey and gave up my two pack-a-day cigarette habit and put on 40 lbs. and tried every diet in creation. After being on that famous high-protein diet, bacon and eggs every morning and steak for dinner, he wound up having a triple bypass. I m usually not a nagging wife, but I knew this kind of eating couldn t be right. He would tell anyone who would listen how he was losing weight and I wouldn t leave him alone. Not being a motivated person, I knew I needed help from a support group. How ridiculous to think my husband would join with me. Do you know how hard it is to find men at these meetings. I couldn t imagine him getting on a scale every week in front of all these women, so there I was on my own. The most important fact I learned from my group leader that day is that we hope not intentionally , husbands, friends and family will try to sabotage you. Have another helping, it s good for you. Sound familiar. I realized this was true when I got home...

Dynamometers or dyno systems seem complicated but once you understand the basics it all becomes clear. A dynamometer is basically just a measuring tool, in the same way as voltmeters, scales or speedometers are. Among force-measuring devices, dynamometers are a flexible metallic ring that bends when a force is applied in such a manner as to tend to collapse it the amount of bending being a measure of the applied force and a hydraulic load cell that measures compressive loads in terms of fluid pressure. Once you have built your new motor, or fitted any tuning parts, it is very important to visit a good automotive Dynamometer or rolling road. If you don t, then you will never be able to properly set up your engine. A good dynamometer allows you to use a gas analyzer while under load so you can see the real air fuel mixture at all RPM s while driving. Power-measuring dynamometers may be either transmission dynamometers or absorption dynamometers. The former utilize devices that measure torque, in terms of the elastic twist of the shaft or of a...

How do we trust enough to trust abundance. It s a koan or at least a dilemma. A few nights ago, a friend shared how he recently worked with his fears and limiting beliefs around money, trust, and abundance. For six years he had been at a loss literally, unable to figure out why he was living in poverty while everyone around him seemed to manifest abundance so easily. A few weeks ago, he decided to stop asking why and started to simply walk the walk of abundance. It started with his awareness that he was out of integrity with himself and his church. His church asks its members to agree to tithe 10 of their earnings to charity. Although he had made the agreement, he had been skimping, telling himself that he didn t have enough money for food or rent so how could he possibly give 10 . When he confronted this, he made a decision to tithe 10 anyway, even if it meant going hungry. He made one other behavioral change to stop reinforcing his fear of lack. He stopped letting his gas tank get dangerously close to empty or even running out of gas. From the...
