rally car book

thinking about resurrecting my 81 colt mirage to a rally spec car, i remembered there was a book about it - race and rally car source book: the guide to building and modifying a competition car by allan staniforth. i saw it the first time in national bookstore in eastwood city, libis and heard that a friend of mine owns one. here's its cover (thanks to haynes.co.uk)


on the process, i also found a site for kids. kidsdownload is a blog where you'll find ebooks for kids such as rally car race: a short story by annette smith and illustrations by richard hoit. it's about a kid who enjoys watching rallies on tv.

a lot of kids ebooks can be downloaded there. although, it will redirect you to rapidshare.com. if you're ok with that, then please enjoy!

envelope budgeting

i've always had a hard time saving up for the rainy days. i'm always stuck in the part where i have no idea where the money is going to. and believe me, i hate that part. so i scoured the net to look for ways how to solve this eff-ing problem and googled(i wonder if this verb is already an entry in the dictionary) budgeting . then i thought, why don't i just check its wikipedia entry . unfortunately, all information inside that entry were on a macro-scale of the word itself. and fortunately, except the "see also" part. there lies the phrase envelope system . although there's just a small info about it, the description how the system works gives enough overview on how it works basically: enough to make me save. "Typically, the person will write the name and average cost per month of a bill on the front of an envelope. Then, either once a month or when the person gets paid, he or she will put the amount for that bill in cash on the envelope. When the bi...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 4: The Pattern

  Recognition Three stories. Three domains. One pattern. In physics, Newton's laws worked perfectly until we encountered extreme speeds and tiny scales; then we needed Einstein and quantum mechanics. In economics, Keynesian models guided policy flawlessly until stagflation revealed their boundaries; then we needed multiple competing frameworks. In psychology, behaviorism explained learning and habit until we confronted consciousness and creativity; then we needed cognitive science, neuroscience, and phenomenology. Each time, a framework that seemed universal turned out to be contextual. Each time, the breakdown revealed not a flaw in the theory, but a boundary; a transition to a domain where different rules apply. Each time, the response was the same: develop new frameworks for the new domains, then discover those frameworks have boundaries too. This isn't coincidence. This is pattern. The Pattern Everywhere Once you learn to see it, you find it everywhere. Medicine spent centu...
