Caboodle Ranch – Colbert Show
Stephen Colbert had a funny exposé on Craig Grant's Caboodle Ranch, in Lee, Florida
In Lee, Florida, Craig Grant trains his 650 cats to take over America's government, law enforcement and failing schools. (05:32)

Craig Grant tells how he started the Caboodle Ranch
I was renting a two bedroom condo by the beach with my son. It had all the comforts and conveniences of home. Nice furniture, a short walk to the beach and close to work. Then my son moved out on his own for the first time. He left his cat, Pepper, with me because he couldn't take it with him. I didn't like cats but I agreed to keep him. I wasn't used to being alone and I guess Pepper wasn't either.
We slowly began to get along. A couple months went by and I found out Pepper was pregnant. Oh great, now what? She had five kittens. I wanted to give them away because I didn't want my beautiful home destroyed, but my son told me they had to stay with their mother for 8 weeks. Over that time I learned that every cat had his own unique personality and it wasn't long before the kittens were swinging from my curtains. I didn't care. Something had changed… I didn't want to give them up.
But with six cats, complaints started from the condo owner and the neighbors. I knew I had to look for other places to go. They weren't safe in the neighborhood. I found a B.B. lodged in the side of one of my cats and another was bitten by a pitbull that I know was set loose on purpose. Something had to be done. I wasn't sure what to do at first, so I built a shed in my son's yard and lived in it for a while. Then I found an advertisement in the paper from a realtor offering five acre partials on a tree farm; owner financing, low money down and low monthly payments… the problem was that it was 100 miles west of Jacksonville. I drove out to see it and I loved it.
Over the next months I bought five more partials. I now have 25 acres. I cleared a small area and bought an office trailer as a shelter for my cats. I put in a pet door and padded shelves for them. We moved out there in November of 2003, the day after Thanksgiving. By that time I had 11 cats. I had taken in abandoned and stray cats from the neighborhood and areas that I work as a contractor. I had 22 cats by the spring of 2004. I moved the shed out to the property and made a little cabin out of it. I thought it would be for me, but many of my cats wanted to sleep next to me… so I moved back into the office trailer where we had more room.

Caboodle Ranch is not cat heaven as you see on their website. It's cat HELL!
Don't be fooled by the cute little houses and videos. The internet Caboodle Ranch is nothing like the real world Caboodle Ranch. Numerous witnesses have reported seeing the majority of cats sickened with illnesses, diseases, injuries, and parasite infestations. The living facilities are filthy and smell retched. Cats are left to lie in their in their own vomit and feces. Cats don't receive proper medical attention. Craig "plays doctor" by diagnosing the cats himself and personally gives them medication and patches them up based on his "expert" knowledge. Cats are only taken to the vet as a last resort. Usually by this time the cats are too far gone. Instead of ending the suffering by humanely putting the cat to sleep, he elects to allow the cat to die a slow, painful death. Craig Grant, the operator, fits the classic signs of a hoarder.
It's estimated that Caboodle Ranch has taken in thousands of cats since its inception. However, recent visitors have reported seeing about 100 or less cats roaming the grounds. Cats are dying at alarming rates. Several people have taken cats there and changed their minds and went to retrieve them in as little as 24 hours to find that the cat(s) was/were nowhere to be found. Major killers of the cats are coyote attacks, upper respiratory infections, Felv/FIV, being hit by cars, and shot and poisoned by neighbors.

MCA-i Creates Member Videos at OC Sound Stage
The October '14 chapter meeting was a real departure! Instead of an expert speaker sharing valuable info on the media industry we produced over half a dozen short videos for members—all thanks to Tom Smith (videogrpaher) and the OC Sound Stage (location.) Besides the talents of Tom Smith, other members contributed by helping each other prepare and deliver their on-camera 'elevator pitch.' Those who took advantage of the unique offer were very pleased. For some it was the only way they were able to get such a marketing video for themselves—Free! Petr Hasa, the Stage Mgr of the OC Sound Stage, was not only generous with the facility but with his time as well! John Lister volunteered and was a big help. The main stage, Studio A, was busy wrapping up a production so we used their 'Studio B,' a good sized insert stage that was more than ample. The facility also boasts a green room, wardrobe-makeup room and a very nice kitchen-dining area. So there was plenty of room to spread out, rehearse privately if you desired or mingle with others and snack on the usual. While it was a small crowd, there was lots of networking and camaraderie! Thank YOU Tom Smith and OC Sound Stage--and all who participated!

An explosion has occurred at the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center near Interstate Hwy. 494 and Portland Avenue South, according to Bloomington police.
Following the incident, the FBI said the preliminary investigation indicated the explosion was caused by an "improvised explosive device".
However, it did not characterize the device further, saying their focus was to determine the "who and why" behind the incident.
The FBI Minneapolis Field Office and the Bloomington police, ATF and other law enforcement agencies are cooperating on the investigation.
Jeff Potts, Bloomington police chief, said Saturday morning that first responders found smoke after reports of an explosion.
"There was no additional explosion or anything like that. There was no fire," Potts said.
"It was just one explosion," said Potts. "The first responders were able to determine there were no additional explosions, there's no additional fire and it seems as though the damage was pretty limited to one particular room."
Mohamed Omar, the executive director of the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center, expressed grief over the incident.
"It was the first prayer and it's 5 a.m. The whole neighborhood was calm. People were supposed to be sleeping. That's how peaceful it should be," said Omar.
He noted that a member of his congregation reported something suspicious right before the incident.

Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive procedure that gently and effectively removes fat from targeted areas of the body that have not responded to traditional diet and exercise. Patients can benefit from noticeable yet natural-looking results in their problem areas, providing an overall smoother body contour. Cryolipolysis is most effective in removing fat from the abdomen, love handles (flanks) and back.The results of the Cryolipolysis procedure are achieved using the advanced Cryolipolysis technology, which cools the targeted tissue to break down the fat cells for easy removal, without any harm to the surrounding tissue. Fat cells have been proven to be more vulnerable to cold than the surrounding tissue. This stimulates a natural fat removal process that continues for several months after the procedure.

The day of couples, chocolate and flowers is upon us, however this year Youthlink conducted a VOX pop to see what you guys would consider to be the best or worst valentine day experience. We got a few responses which was based on personal experiences, and some which portrayed what they considered the worst and best experiences. So let the experiences begging.
Kelshaire Ellis Age: 19 "My worst Valentine's Day
Next to Christmas I always look forward to Valentine's Day regardless of any situation I'm in. But February 13, 2016 was one of the worst days of my life which then lead to my worst Valentine's Day.
I had made plans to meet up with my boyfriend. A boy I've known for about 3 years or so. We made these plans from December and everything was in place for these plans to be successful. My best friend and I are always pranking people so we decided to prank my boyfriend. So I gave her his number and told her to act as if she's a random girl who came across his number in her phone and decided to message him. She did exactly that. Every detail of their conversation she screenshot it and sent me. So she asked him if he had a girlfriend and his response was a 'NO' and I was shocked out of my pants that evening. How could he disown me? Am I not enough? I know he has done this before cause he speaks to countless amount of females? These were the questions I asked myself. I then forward the screenshots and told him that it's over. I cried from that day straight into Valentine's Day. I even had an exam on that day which I was too confused and hurt to study for and I failed.
That was an experience I hope not to have again"
Kasheka Thomas Age: 20 "The best Valentine's Day I've ever had
Me and my best friend did everything and went everywhere together. We really know how to turn up. Valentine's Day was approaching and we had plans to go to the movies because we both don't have a Valentine.
Even though we lived close to each other he said that I must meet him at Carib because he's gona be busy and I was too caught up by the fact that Valentine's Day was the next day and what happened the last Valentine's Day with my ex.
So I got ready. Of course I was late. Like always. I saw him buying the tickets when I arrived. "Yuh eva late innuh my girl. Jah know.", was what he blast out at me when, I went beside of him and then we laughed cause we both knew that that's never going to change. After the movies we decided to get something to eat in New Kingston after which we went home.
He walked me home and normally he would just tell mommy bye and chat little in the living room then leave, but as I reach my room door my sister came and grabbed my face and I felt him rush in my room and then she moved her hand and there he was standing beside my bed which was filled with red and white balloons and chocolate along with a huge teddy bear. Tears filled my eyes and he ran over to me saying that I must not cry and gave a card to me and it said
Kelly. I've known you for years now. Words can't explain how much I love and care for you but my actions will. I read it out loud then he went on his knee then I started crying even harder, then he said to me, "Will you be mine?"
I didn't know what to say and my sister whose videoing the whole thing shouted, "say yes big head!" And that was it, I was now my bestfriend's girlfriend. And from that day on I was more than happy.
- Valentine's Day should not be the only time you show your significant other you appreciate their love, it would be shown everyday not just on special occasions like Birthday, anniversary or it's a holiday season.
- Valentine day is just an upper hand regarding if you have a special someone (or a secret admirer) it's a chance to prove your love with all means to impress whether it's a bottle of wine, a sweet weekend getaway, jewelry, body care or perfume. But the main attraction of that day is a RED ROSE with Chocolate, those are a girls best friend on that day.
- Valentine day is best spent with someone you love. In the chance of creating memories together, gathering your greatest romantic experience in order to show your love to each other. the worst throw offs is your significant other stating he does not celebrate the day, then and there they makes it clear your feelings are irrelevant word if it's a day you look forward to. Then you making plans for something special but end up hearing they rather hang with their friends, when clearly the day was meant for couples. That also send a message of neglect, I do hope no one goes through this experience who really care for this day.

Over 800,000 children under 18 years of age are abducted annually according to the United States Department of Justice. 60% of those abductions comprised of children 6 to 14 years old.
The Rose Brucia Educational Foundation was created out of the tragedy that took place in 2004 after 11-year-old Carly Brucia was abducted in Sarasota, Florida. Matthew J. Barbis, Founder and cousin to Carly, wanted to help reduce future child abductions, his mission was to teach children how to avoid dangerous situations. With the support of Congressman Steve Israel (D)-New York and Congressman Paul Ryan (R)-Wisconsin. A Bill was created and passed, allowing The Stranger Safety Awareness curriculum to be used in every school throughout the United States.
As a celebration, CNBC hosted "The Night of Hope" benefit and invited Malachi to perform at the estate of Katrina and Don Peebles, chairman and chief executive officer of Peebles Corp. Malachi was honored to be a part of this national movement towards child safety, and promotes child safety in every performance and interview.

Upcoming 12-Core Xeon CPU Destined for Apple's New Mac Pro Posts Impressive Benchmark Scores
Others had noted that prototype hardware, beta software, and a 32-bit Geekbench run were likely to have limited the performance seen in the benchmarks, with the final shipping version of the Mac Pro due for launch later this year perhaps seeing substantial improvements under a 64-bit version of Geekbench 2.
Tom's Hardware has now gotten its hands on this exact processor expected to make its way into the Mac Pro and put it through rigorous testing in a Windows setup, subjecting the system to numerous benchmarking tools including the 64-bit version Geekbench 2. While the results do not provide an exact answer to how well the chip will benchmark in a Mac Pro, it does offer some perspective on what kind of performance might be possible.
The leaked result was run using the free 32-bit build of Geekbench on a pre-release build of OS X Mavericks. Switching over to the paid 64-bit build of the benchmark adds SSE support, though that's still a pre-Pentium 4 extension. Tab between the 32- and 64-bit runs on Xeon X5675-based systems and you'll find that the SSE-capable build averages 14%-better performance.
Curious as to how the very same 12-core Xeon [E5-2697 V2] compared in Windows, I ran my own test on a 64-bit build of Geekbench and scored in excess of 30,000 points—more than 25% faster than the leaked number.
The full set of testing benchmarks pitted the high-end 12-core Ivy Bridge-EP Xeon processor against a variety of Sandy Bridge and other Ivy Bridge chips, as well as a Core i7-4770K Haswell chip, finding that the Xeon E5-2697 V2 generally topped the performance charts in multi-threaded tests but was beaten in many single-threaded tests by the faster chips with fewer cores.
As noted, the benchmark scores for the Xeon E5-2697 V2 generated from these tests won't necessarily translate exactly to a Mac Pro running OS X Mavericks, but they do provide some confidence that the redesigned Mac Pro will indeed be a significant improvement over its predecessor for the most demanding multi-threaded tasks.

I really want one; but I really don't need a 4th mortgage.
I really want one, but I can't figure out how I will fit four hard drives in the thing.
Especially when they know that there will be Windows systems with two of these chips - but Apples will have only one....
What applications are you using or plan on using that requires more CPU than GPU that would need a second CPU? I'm just curious.
Safari, Mail and iTunes.
Also, hoping for a new display.
I feel like I should have waited a few months?
And that SSD!
It's really annoying to have a really powerful Mac Pro bottlenecked when you press "open with..." on something and have to wait for an external hard drive to wake up while Finder hangs.
I don't believe you're required to allow drives to sleep. And I don't think Thunderbolt makes drives sleep in some way that is different from internal bays.
P.S. It's fun to see people who would never buy 24 cores complain to other people who would never buy 24 cores that they wish they could buy 24 cores. "Bullet list marketing" at its finest :p Catchy specs over results? No mention of OpenCL, even from people who like to brag about performance numbers?
I need to replace all my CAD stations... and I will not use iMacs... I really don't want to deal with trying to build and maintain Hacks.... I don't need huge drives on everyone.. I just need graphic and processor power.. and this looks like a great machine.
Edit: I know that you can disable hard drive sleep but don't want to have them always awake, and I have already excluded them from Spotlight search.

Budget cuts slow reforms at Sacramento County's child protection agency
Budget cuts are threatening reform efforts at Sacramento County's long-troubled Child Protective Services agency, according to two reports released Tuesday.
In presentations to the Board of Supervisors, officials behind the reports said CPS has made improvements in recent years, including responding in a more timely manner to complaints of abuse and neglect.
But the director who instituted many of the changes, Laura Coulthard, has taken an extended leave from the agency, with no word on when she will return.
One of the reports highlighted continued problems at the agency in its overview of recent child fatalities.
The CPS Oversight Committee, tasked by supervisors to serve as a community watchdog, found that CPS workers failed to follow policy, made critical thinking errors or made supervisory mistakes in five of seven child death cases it reviewed.
"There has been a great improvement in the timeliness of responses," said Jean McGrath, chairwoman of the committee. "It's the quality of the investigative response that we're concerned about."
The committee urged supervisors to keep funding intact for CPS, while the other group issuing a report, the Child Death Review Team, recommended that the county restore funding to programs that prevent child abuse.
Ann Edwards, director of the Health and Human Services Department, which includes CPS, said she agreed with the findings in the two reports. She also told supervisors that CPS can't improve with further staff cuts.
In recent years the county has cut about a third of the agency's staff. CPS now has about 620 employee positions.
The cuts were made shortly after CPS was asked to make widespread improvements. Following investigative reports by The Bee, the county grand jury and a private consultant had issued scathing reviews of the agency, finding that CPS had become ineffective and unaccountable as more children were dying due to abuse and neglect.
Under Coulthard, the agency has rewritten many policies and started conducting annual employee evaluations.
Members of the Child Death Review Team and the Oversight Committee praised Coulthard's efforts to improve CPS, as other child advocates have done in the past.
The agency's response to both emergency and non-emergency reports of abuse and neglect has improved, according to agency reports.
But some parts of the agency's performance have lagged – such as its required monthly visits to foster children. That's a direct result of staff cuts, as the agency has had to shift remaining staff members into handling emergency calls, leaving fewer people to make monthly visits, Edwards said.
The Child Death Review Team, a group of professionals from different disciplines, noted the loss of programs aimed at new parents.
"Parents are the most likely perpetrator of child abuse and neglect homicides," said Sheila Boxley of the Child Abuse Prevention Council of Sacramento, which coordinates the death review team. "These crimes happen in the home."
Six children were killed by abuse or neglect in Sacramento County in 2009, the latest year reviewed, according to the team's report. Five of them were killed by a parent.
Five of the six children had prior involvement with a CPS agency in Sacramento County or elsewhere, the report says.
Edwards said CPS reviews the death or near-death of any child in the welfare system to see where the agency might have erred and could make needed improvements.
Supervisors didn't respond to the funding requests by the two groups. They did not make any cuts to the agency in the current year's budget approved last month. But they will have to revisit that budget later this year.

Even the most put-together parent needs advice every now and then. This article will give you some ways to deal with some of the most common being a parent issues that you may have.
If you are expecting, don't let yourself rush out and spend all of your money on expensive items for your child's nursery. All the necessary baby items, such as a crib, blanket or changing table, can be bought at department stores like a K-Mart or Walmart for much cheaper while still giving you high quality. You may also ask loved ones if they have unused nursery products.
It is important to consider the message that you could potentially be sending your child. You need to establish a foundation of trust between your child and you.
When you are traveling with young children, try to keep familiar routines intact, such as meals and bedtime. Traveling can be stressful for youngsters, especially babies. However, if you follow their normal bedtime ritual no matter where you are, they are likely to have no problems sleeping.
Parents should never pressure a teenager to choose a college. The teenage strategy of doing the opposite of what is expected of them is a common response to feeling powerless and controlled.
It is necessary for parents to get away, together or alone, apart from the children. Get a trusted family member or friend to care for you kids so you can enjoy your time without having to worry about them. Stress can get the better of parents who constantly care for their kids, and this results in increased tension in the household.
Make sure your children have reflective materials on their backpacks or coats if they walk to school. Velcro even makes detachable reflective strips specifically for this purpose. This is so your child is more noticeable to crossing guards and drivers, especially earlier on in the morning.
No two children are the same. The methods that are effective for one of your children might not work on another. This applies to rewards as well as to punishments. Therefore it is very important that you consistently apply the same techniques.
Raising a child can be very confusing at certain times and you will need some advice from time to time. There will be times that something happens, and you do not know what to do. We hope that you will use the tips offered here to see you through some of the tough challenges of parenting. Use this information to benefit you.

The Boss
Devils and Dust releases today. Bruce Springsteen was on NPR yesterday singing, "Jesus was an only son . . . " and Ashley, my eleven-year-old, asked me who that was singing. "The Boss," I replied, thinking how sad it is yet how fun it is to be able to introduce her to some of the music before her time that endures today. "Who's that? Is he a country singer?"
"No, well, he sings a lot of things, but he's a famous rock singer, one of the best, the Boss."
So I called her in this morning because they said he'd be singing on the Today show, but they keep stringing us along and Ashley has to go to school without hearing from the Boss this morning.
One of the best things about the Boss is that he is a lyrical, melodic storyteller as well as a strong songwriter and musician.

Read the many lovely messages we've collected from our guests and volunteers
Volunteering to teach English to children at a local school in Surin has been such a rewarding and amazing experience. The kids are so eager to learn and appreciative at your help-I enjoyed every second of it!
Spending 10 days allowed me to be immersed in the local culture, socialise with all the teachers and form a real bond with the other volunteers.
I will be so sad to leave them all!
June has been incredibly helpful from before my arrival to Bangkok to my last day-no detail was left uncovered!
It's a fantastic experience and I would like anyone to give it a go - I'll be leaving with so many fantastic memories.
Ellie Mauger, England
Volunteering at Lemongrass has been a fantastic experience for me. Thank you to everyone who made it too! All aspects from the home to the school were well organized, enjoyable and made my stay in Thailand very comfortable. The school was so generous and welcoming the other.
Volunteers wonderful people and June was so lovely and helpful and generous.
Throughout, I would recommend it to everyone working for a wholesome, well rounded Thailand experience and I will treasure the memories.
Thank you!
Alice Latchford, England
Lemongrass has nothing but the best to offer. My stay have has been a great experience. June is very helpful and is there all along. I got to experience Thailand with her in a very different way. The other volunteers were super friendly and amazing; I hope to come back again.
Days passed by really quick as my stay was so comfortable.
I would definitely encourage people to have this kind of experience with Lemongrass exclusively.
Arushi Gupta (Kuhu), India
Volunteering in Surin at the local school has just been an incredible experience. Before coming, I didn't really know what to expect, but here I am 10 days later, really sad of leaving the kids and the other volunteers. You get so much out of it, it is a challenge (a big one!) but also a good chance to discover yourself and to get exposed to a different culture and with different preferences.
The kids were just great, so eager to learn English and so happy to have us teach them.
June, you were great from our arrival in Bangkok to the end. Thanks for helping us with every detail.
Take care and I hope you have many more volunteers; it really is a great programme.
Diego Cooke
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience you have given us, teaching at Baan Tungroong school. We have had the most fun teaching, playing games and bonding with children all of whom were respectful, kind a credit to Thailand. We have thoroughly enjoyed your company and we endlessly appreciate the effort you put in, driving us around and translating for us. The welcome we received made us feel like family and for that we would recommend Lemongrass-volunteering to anyone! So again, thank you for making our first experience of Thailand a memorable and truly unforgettable one.
Mena and Olivia, UK
When I first saw the advert to teach English as a volunteer in Thailand, I was a bit apprehensive because it meant that I would be arriving in a foreign country on my own. I need not have worried because June the Volunteer Manager met me and she was so friendly and quickly put me at ease.
The accommodation is lovely, very modern with lovely wet rooms. In the evening we would go to June's house or she would bring us home cooked food. The food was lovely and June is an amazing cook. June did everything to make my trip as worthwhile as possible and would take me out in the evening to sample the area's attractions.
The Director and the teachers of the school made you feel most welcome and had great respect for you. The teaching wasn't difficult and the children were most respectful. They really enjoyed the lessons and the input from foreign teachers.
I would recommend volunteering to teach English to everyone. It's such a worthwhile experience and I am so pleased that I did it and will never forget the wonderful children that I taught.
Karen, UK
"Since the moment I arrived at Surin, I felt very comfortable and the logistics were very well planned, it was like being at home. My first idea was teaching English at University, but finally, the department of languages of Surin University thought that it could be interesting for the students to learn some basic Spanish. So we did! I had a lot of fun explaining some basic words and cultural aspects to them, both the teachers and the students were very motivated and I had a good time. I was also a member of the jury in a "speech contest" of children of the province, which was very funny and interesting. June and Adrian put in a lot of effort to give me as many experiences as possible so that I could enjoy, learn and experience the Thai culture. I really recommend it! "
Oriol, Spain
"For anyone looking for great volunteer work that also includes lovely accommodation, I would highly recommend LemonGrass Volunteering! June is an awesome person to work with and is super helpful with everything. I'm very lucky to have had the opportunity to come here and volunteer, be prepared for an amazing experience!"
Jenn, Canada
"I taught a variety of children aged between 4 and 10 from 9am until 2pm at a local school. The children were eager to learn, respectful and also very cute! I came to Thailand in hope to make a real difference- it really isn't the same to just hand out donations! The children need education and this way you REALLY are making a difference. I cannot believe how far the children have come in such a short amount of time or how they really have come into my heart. June's support, patience and encouragement made my trip what it was. I cannot recommend or praise this organization enough for the hard work and commitment to the volunteers."
Tricia UK
"I volunteered for a week with LemonGrass and during our stay I taught English to Children in the mornings and Novice monks in the afternoon. The organisation of our stay was brilliant and everyone was so kind and welcoming. It was a truly great experience which I would recommend to anyone, I only wish I could have stayed longer."
Jessica, UK
"I recently volunteered through the LemonGrass organisation based in Surin and found it to be both a genuinely fun as well as truly rewarding venture. I was looked after every step of the way by the kind individuals in charge of running the programme and I really got the sense that they cared far more about the well-being of both the volunteers and the students than they did about turning a profit - unlike other schemes advertised online. I would definitely do it again and would also implore anyone with time to spare in Thailand to get in touch."
Simon UK
"I spent a fantastic 3 weeks volunteering at both schools in November 2011. June and Adrian where both extremely helpful, diligent and proved to be excellent hosts during my stay with them. Prior to that experience I had little teaching experience and as a direct result from the placement and others since, have now decided to pursue ESL as a career! Surin is a hidden gem, off the tourist map and a real Thai experience. Anyone looking for that authenticity and to try their hand at teaching some truly inspirational children should definitely volunteer with LemonGrass Volunteering. For a nominal amount the rewards in return are immeasurable. Go on, If you don't have a go, you'll never know!"
Phil, UK
"When I went to LemonGrass as a volunteer I had no idea what to expect. All my doubts were removed from the time I met June Niampan (LemonGrass Manager) who is an amazing Thai woman who has a passion to be involved in teaching English to the local Thai people where there is a growing need and interest. Both June and Adrian Jamieson (volunteer coordinator) had liaised with me prior to arriving in Thailand and nothing was too much trouble either prior to my arrival at LemonGrass or during the three weeks while I was teaching English as a volunteer. In fact the care and interest shown was almost overwhelming, until I realised this is what they do so well!"
Jan, Australia
"Volunteering with LemonGrass was a wonderful experience for us. They care about all the details which made our time in Thailand perfect. They picked us up when the night train from Bangkok came into Surin at 4:00 in the morning. They made a wonderful placement at a rural school and provided support to us at the school. The house was a very comfortable base for us to go on adventures from. The town of Surin is within bike distance (and the bikes that are provided are good!) Thank you to LemonGrass for going above and beyond and giving us the chance to speak with Buddhist monks, explore local foods and for making us feel welcome."
Richard and Ramona, United States
"Having completed my CELTA in the summer and travelled to Thailand with friends I was keen to gain some experience teaching before deciding if I wanted to take it up as a full time career. I contacted LemonGrass and within a week travelled to Surin, met June and started teaching English to 8-12 year old kids. June was a trooper, immensely helpful with everything from advice on lesson planing to showing me around Surin, helping with my visa run to Cambodia and onward travel back to Bangkok. The teaching was great fun, the kids are so lively and there was never a dull moment! June couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful and I immediately felt at home. Working with LemonGrass is a great experience, I highly recommend it!"
Tertia, UK
"The LemonGrass house was very comfortable and Aor was a great housemate! It was really useful having the use of the computer for lesson plans etc. The teaching books and materials were also helpful and the bicycles were handy to get around. June was extremely supportive and friendly. I had a great experience overall and am considering going into teaching after I graduate. Only real downside was that I only had 2 weeks."
Julia, UK
"I chose to work in the day care centre because I knew I would love working with little toddlers and it was amazing! The children were so cute and the teacher and a co-worker looked after me really well at the day care centre. The children were very loving and it was so rewarding working with children who were so appreciative of having you there to play with them and help them."
Emer, UK
"The placement was what we expected and a lot more, we really enjoyed it, had a lot of fun and got a lot of experience from our time with LemonGrass. We would love to come back and do some more volunteering at some point in the future!"
Martin and Amy, UK
"Staff support was excellent and way beyond my expectations. June called into us daily, escorted us to class and also escorted us on a trip at the weekend. June and Aor took us out many evenings for food and drinks as well as cooking Thai meals, barbeques etc for us. It was almost like we were guests rather than volunteers. Overall, we were extremely well looked after and the visit was a very social one."
Susan, Ireland
"The staff were very helpful, June was very obliging and knowledgable (especially as regards day trips, etc). I was made to feel very welcome (Aor was lovely too!). The placement was fantastic, it really helped me to gain confidence in my teaching skills and to improve and practice them."
Matthew, UK
"I wasn't fully sure what to expect from my placement, but I do know that I enjoyed every minute of it. I signed up for teaching English to adults, children and childcare and had the chance to carry out all three and so much more. After completing my 11 week placement I can say for sure that I would recommend LemonGrass to anyone interested in volunteering. I myself would return at the drop of a hat!"
Lauren, UK
"I spent two weeks in Thailand working beside June. She was a wealth of knowledge and her easy demeanour made our transition from the US to Thailand seamless. She not only guided us through our volunteer experience but helped us to truly experience the culture and people of Thailand."
Amanda, United States
"A good experience, I'm glad I did it. I found the kids to be very friendly and the teachers welcoming. It was always nice to come to school each morning and see the familiar and friendly faces. I enjoyed watching the sports day and always liked the food the school put on for lunch. The only sad thing was that it had to end after my two weeks I signed up for. June at LemonGrass volunteering was very helpful with any queries I had about Surin or Thailand, as well as about the actual teaching process."
Bruce, New Zealand
"Having never travelled to Asia before one of my first worries was the language and cultural differences. After minutes of meeting June all my worries were instantly put at ease. June made my volunteering trip the fabulous experience that it was. Having someone who spoke English and Thai made tasks like ordering train tickets or organising trips to an elephant sanctuary, simple acts."
Emma, UK
"I thoroughly enjoyed my experience living and working in Surin. From the very start of my stay when June met me in Bangkok to my sad departure two months later, June and her team were nothing short of amazing. I feel I have made life long friends there, so much so that I am going back later this year to pay them a visit! Can't rate the experience highly enough."
Donnie, UK

Uemis is a Swiss-based dive computer manufacturer that makes a solid dive computer, the "Zurich", that is aimed at the rec-tec segment of scuba divers. I spent a good amount of time over at the Uemis booth at the DEMA Show this past year, because of one attribute that surrounds Uemis and its products: they're hard to understand. I mean this in the nicest possible way, and it should not be confused to mean that their products are hard to use – they're not.
The biggest thing standing between Uemis and widespread adoption of their dive computers across the industry is that there are numerous great features to explain, features that are not usually found in a dive computer and are thus hard to convey to a potential adopter. The Swiss company aims to offer much more than just a great dive computer to its users while they're in the water; the company is genuinely trying to wrap its product and accompanying services around the Uemis owner's entire "dive life".
This is very atypical approach for a dive computer maker, to most of whom dive log software appears to be an afterthought. Whether or not consumers will appreciate and adopt Uemis' offerings is still unknown, and at least for now, is also somewhat obscured by the fact that said offerings have been difficult for the company to effectively convey. Here are a few things I think that the Uemis folks would like people to know:
- Their dive computers read tank data wirelessly, but the wrist-mounted units also communicate directly between one another, allowing the user to actually see his/her dive buddy's entire screen, rather than one data point such as tank pressure.
- The Uemis dive log software is cloud-based (i.e., it lives on the Uemis web site, rather than on an application on your computer) and allows for social interaction that is typically reserved for social media web sites. Normally I would downplay such a set of features as being extraneous to diving, but in Ueumis' case the interface is both robust and sophisticated to the point where I could see this as a precursor to world where our dive computers eventually connect us in useful ways, much as our iPhones do today for non-diving related purposes.
- The Zurich dive computer has a solar panel on it and is capable of recharging to a useful level within a reasonable amount of time, say, on a dive boat. This is fantastic and will certainly be appreciated by anyone who has ever had a dive computer battery die during a trip.
- The Uemis computers have inexpensive, user-replaceable front covers. No, I don't just like this feature because I can switch between blue and pink – it's also useful because the buttons are a part of the cover, and should they be damaged for any reason, it's an easy fix in the field.

|Bed & Breakfast
Has improved significantly since our visit 2 years ago. Rooms are well presented and cleaned every day. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The sun loungers by the pool are very high standard, made of wood (with cushions), although there are some plastic ones which they use when it is busy, the staff even help to position the loungers to accommodate people sitting together. Food is reasonably priced and there is an excellent outside dining area, very spacious and clean.The only minor complaint was the beer prices, if they were reasonably priced I am sure they would have considerably more custom.The hotel is located approximately 10 minutes walk from the centre although we managed it in 7 minutes and the Dolmus which stops outside the front of the hotel only costs 1.75 lira 50p and they are very frequent. Overall an excellent experience and we will no doubt go back next year.

This is a lovely hotel and for the money it is excellent. We had a wonderful stay last year and wanted to rebook this year but unsurprisingly they were full! The rooms are well equipped and had beautiful sea views. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Drinks were a little more expensive but not excessively so for a hotel.

Subject to Change – Part 4
Few things in life actually move at the speed we want them to.
Most of us would speed up traffic, unless you're that little old man in the farm truck that's raising his bony fist at any who are crazy enough to drive more than 45 miles per hour. Generally, we would like for meetings to move faster through their agendas, and some of us would like our spouses to do their hair more quickly when we're headed out to dinner, though we have only verbalized such thoughts once.
But we don't live every moment with both feet on the accelerator. Some moments find us wishing life came with brakes. So we stand at the bus stop on our child's first day of kindergarten, heartbroken that we've arrived at this occasion so soon. We plead with the math teacher to "slow down" when our algebraic questions are multiplying faster than our undivided attention can manage. And most of us have tried to slow the clock on our last day at the lake, last goodbye at the airport, or just about any other "last" that we'd like more of.
Truth be told, few of us are pleased with the way time ticks on its predetermined cruise control. So we live each day begging our children to slow down and our parents to hurry up. We even find ourselves wanting to mess with God's speed. Every one of us at church has asked Him to move more quickly when unanswered prayers are on the line, or blessings feel long overdue.
But pastor, we need you to move more slowly. When the issue is change and the victim is church, the people generally need their pastor to hear them when they say give us time to trust you.
Time is an endangered resource. Though we get the same amount of it every day, we never have enough of it. Once, my wife and some women from our church were chatting with a kindly, old gentleman as they walked along the coast of the Irish Sea. They were taking a break from the construction work of our missions trip—something I didn't think there was time for, but there really wasn't a good time to bring that up. Anyway, after an hour of chatting about the history of the quaint little village nearby, the beautiful flora and fauna of the overlooking hillside, and the possible identity of a distant boat, our ladies thanked the Irishman for taking the time to teach them so much about his homeland.
He replied, "O dearies, when God made time, He made plenty of it." That sounded so profound, and we subsequently found that phrase to be adorning many of the plaques, mugs, and key chains one finds in Ireland's souvenir shops. It also explains why the Irish never achieved world domination. Everyone knows there's never enough time.
That's why a newly minted pastor wants to get moving on his plans to fine tune or completely rewire his church's ministry. He can see what they've been overlooking. He wants to prove his capacity to lead them toward greater effectiveness, and some of the needed steps seem quite obvious to him—rearrange the order of service, rip out some aging carpet, discontinue a few poorly attended programs, launch a couple new ideas…
Slow down!
One of the lessons pastors tend to learn the hard way is that there's a definite gap between being the leader and earning the right to lead. The former can come as easily as being handed the ministry appointment and printing a box of business cards. There it is, in black and white, my name next to the church logo with the "p" word alongside for all to see! But if you think that those business cards somehow give you the right to start using that carpet knife, well, you're probably going to cut off a few of your ministry fingers—and most of us have.
Earning the right to lead requires trust—a commodity that will be meted out slowly, at a pace that's affected not only by your actions, but often by the behavior of the others who previously sat in your chair. In a healthy church that's enjoyed a relatively bumpless ride on the ministry roller coaster, the road to building trust can be clearly marked, but among those who've been jolted or even flown off the rails a few times, trust is often handed out with an eye-dropper.
Tune in next time as we discuss the four ways a leader builds trust…

Hidden Pulse
Whenever experts state that something is dead, hated or disliked, one has to start viewing that sector in a more favourable light. Value stocks are likely to start trending upwards shortly. We suspect one more wave of pain might be necessary to drive the last holdouts out of this sector. CALM is an example of a value stock. When the masses state something is dead, the opposite is usually true. Buy when the masses are panicking and run when they are Euphoric.
The small surge in bullishness appears to be short-lived, what remains constant is the number of individuals in the Neutral camp. Until the individuals in the bullish camp surge past 70% for several weeks in a row, the markets are unlikely to put in a long-term top. Corrections ranging from mild to strong is all most investors will have to worry about. Most of the pullbacks will be in the mild to medium ranges with the occasional pullback falling into the "strong" category. At this point, the odds that the SPX will trade to and past 3000 are now close to 70%.
Despite being extremely overbought, the trend for the major indices of the world (Germany, US, Australia, Britain, etc.) is up. The Australian markets are still extremely overbought both on the weekly and monthly charts, so at the least investors should wait till our indicators on the weekly charts pullback to the oversold ranges.
This market is in sore need of one strong pullback, but this market is irrational one cannot expect the market to pullback just because it's trading in the extremely overbought ranges. Therefore our gameplan is to continue opening long positions in stocks that are extremely oversold on the monthly charts. This plan will remain in force until 1-2 of the major indices like the Dow, SPX or Nasdaq experience a bearish signal on the monthly charts.
Though the Dow and the SPX are trading in the overbought ranges, on the weekly charts the Dow, as shown above, is gearing up to trend higher. The MACD's have experienced a bullish crossover right at the halfway point (minimal oversold zone). We would not be surprised if the Dow traded to the 23650-23800 ranges in the near future. Risk takers can use pullbacks ranging from 350-450 points to open long positions. The Dow does not need to pull back 350-450 points in one day. For example, it is currently trading slightly above 23400. Risk takers could open long positions from 22950 to the 23050 ranges.

I quit my full-time job in LA to travel and work freelance so that I could have a flexible schedule to work on my blog. I want to encourage a certain type of travel - a more responsible, mindful, greener art of travel. Of course, when traveling, there's no such thing as not leaving a carbon footprint at all. It's actually quite impossible. However, there are things we can do to travel as green and eco-consciously as possible.
I also wanted to dispel the myth that luxury travel fosters a disconnect between tourists and the land and people they visit. Luxury travel has the potential to be an intimate nature experience, culturally rich, and also environmentally responsible. It's all about finding the right travel providers and doing a bit of research ahead of your trip. My goal is to educate travelers that high-end travel does not have to be exploitative. And when it's not, your experience is all the more rewarding and special. Travelers can have a really fantastic vacation where they stay in luxury accommodations, eat fine cuisine and get the most out of the destination through adventure tours but also have a meaningful experience that does not deplete the resources of the place they're visiting. I hope you stumble upon something in FreshTraveler that will spark your interest in this type of travel and please let me know if you have any questions at all about how I can make this easier for you to travel with a lighter carbon footprint.
By supporting companies such as Coati Travel, an eco-travel company based in Costa Rica, we can travel well and travel responsibly.
In fact, they are currently offering eco-interested travelers the ultimate adventure with a chance to win an amazing Dream Green Vacation to Costa Rica. One lucky winner and three companions of their choice will be invited to experience the pristine natural beauty of Costa Rica with its lush rainforests and idyllic beaches, lodging at a boutique hotel in the hills of San José and the Cayuga Collection's top luxury sustainable hotels, and regional flights on the world's first carbon-neutral airline, Nature Air.

A quick glance at the ingredients of a candy bar can show you whether you're eating empty calories. As delicious as it may appear, empty calories are of no benefit to your health or the health of the people around you and I urge you to use the same analogy with travel. Be mindful of your travel choices and do not become an empty traveler.
As someone who has traveled my whole life, believe me when I say, eventually you will come to see that most five star hotels have the same amenities - 24-hour room service, cabanas by the pool, several onsite restaurants with a seasonal menu crafted by a celebrity chef, an in-suite jacuzzi tub, and luxe toiletries that make your skin tingle all over. After a while, keycard after keycard becomes almost impossible to differentiate.
What makes a quality place in my eyes is not the number of amenities it offers nor the number of shopping boutiques that are available onsite, but the quality of what is available. The quality of service and the quality of the food. This is why I tend to like boutique hotels over larger ones. They are small enough where you know the name of all the people who work hard to ensure that you have the best stay possible. In my experience, at a smaller place, you also get the privacy and space that you need to decompress and rejuvenate from the stresses of work or city life. However, I don't rule out larger hotel groups either. But when I choose to stay at a hotel chain, I like to know their values are aligned with mine and I stay at the ones that encourage a healthier, active and mindful lifestyle.
A mindful traveler takes the time to be conscious of his or her surroundings and is curious about life beyond the walls of the hotel. I urge you that when you travel, be more mindful in your travels and expand your horizons any way you know how. I believe that if we are all mindful travelers, seeing from an ever-curious, dynamic and fresh perspective (as FreshTravelers!), tourism can be a powerful force in both helping developing economies grow and also in helping depressed economies get back on their feet. Together through travel, I believe we can cultivate a higher level of understanding, open-mindedness and bring more peace, to both ourselves and in our world.
It's as simple as biking or taking public transportation instead of renting a car
or renting the most fuel-efficient car possible.
It's about a little prior research to find a locally-owned boutique hotel
or purchasing items from locally-owned businesses
or supporting the bigger hotels that treat their employees well and take the time to invest in the surrounding community.
It's about supporting the businesses who contribute positively to their surrounding community, regardless of whether they are big or small. It's not a 'BIG versus SMALL' or a 'ME versus YOU' mentality. It's about creating a win-win situation for everybody. This is the mindful way that I explore life. This is also the way that I choose to travel. I choose to travel to hotels and support travel businesses that are socially-conscious.
Since 2005, the adventure travel sector has grown. It is currently the fastest growing sector of the travel industry. Even during times with economic challenges, people who can afford to travel will travel... but they travel differently... for educational value, for learning, and they do it responsibly. In a way, the economy is forcing people to make more conscious choices.
Eco-tourism will continue to grow and expand. What Mother Nature offers is more fascinating than what theme parks can create. When you vacation in nature, you become grounded, your creativity increases, you are healthy and feel much better. Then when you come back to the concrete jungle, you bring what you learn back to others.
In terms of changes in the eco-travel industry since 2005, there are now more options available for luxury travel and more tourism properties are interested in getting their sustainability rating as a marketing move. This is a positive trend, with many luxury oriented properties being serious about sustainability. Boutique travel is growing, as well as luxury hospitality with a cultural aspect to it. Another change is that there are more and more people that are interested in understanding sustainability. Before, clients were mainly just interested in being in nature, now you have to educate your client on your sustainability practices to maintain your credibility as an eco-property. Also, more people are willing to pay for that education.¨
------ Steve Jacobus, the CEO of Coati Travel
Until August 31st, 2013, Coati Travel is offering a FREE eco-trip to Costa Rica for four people. See below for details on how you can enter! Best of luck and I hope you win! And if you do, please share your photos or stories with me. I'd love to feature it on FreshTraveler!

Well, the Historian/Writer Eric Sloane wrote in his book 'Folklore of American Weather' (1963, Hawthorn Books, NY), "This is believed to be a German mispronunciation of "cats and ducks." The Pennsylvanian German people used to say, "It is raining to keep in the cats and bring out the ducks." They also said, "It is snowing for cats and ducks," which meant that the snowfall was sufficient to track a cat or a duck through it."
This makes a bit more sense that animals falling off roofs, I should say.
