I've flown at -10F, had no trouble with foam or plastic parts. My greatest worry is the insulation on the wires. I've been warming it up in the car for a few minutes before changing batteries. I had to rewire one of the aileron servos after the wires broke exiting the wing. I can imagine a mid-air fire if the ESC wiring fails! The other problem is ice-up after landing in deep snow. I had to quit recently after the elevator servo quit traveling full range. It worked fine after defrosting. The keychain camera lens gets packed with snow. I've been meaning to cover it with plastic food wrap. I'm only getting about 12 minutes flying from batteries that gave me 30 minutes during summer - I'm not sure if that's due to cold or the addition of the Vtx. I've tried helicopters in the cold a couple of times and fried two E-flite circuit boards when I brought them in to change batteries. Snow melts, circuits short and the magic smoke escapes. The EasyStar II is a little safer since the electronics are enclosed. |

You know I often share videos of my flying on RCGroups, but rarely on the thread I share every flying excursion with - right here.
So here is one from yesterday. Enjoy!

I'm going out tomorrow, looks like its going to be kinda crummy weather so I'll take the blu-baby out and surf the wind. Might take the keychain cam, but I have the dud 1080p cam and it was definitely not worth $60. Who knows might get something good.

Fenris Wolfbrother
Talk4this wiki
Redirected from Fenris the Hunter
This article or section is likely to dramatically change once the Warlords of Draenor begins.
Fenris Wolfbrother | |
Title | The Hunter |
Gender | Male |
Race | Orc |
Character class | Hunter, Raider |
Affiliation | Horde, Thunderlord clan |
Position | Chieftain of the Thunderlord clan |
Location | Unknown |
Status | Unknown |
Relative(s) | Garm Wolfbrother? |
Fenris Wolfbrother (also known as Fenris the Hunter) was chieftain of the Thunderlord clan, and leader of the few remaining wolfriders in Draenor.
The Blackrock clan had once been very closely tied to the Thunderlords, and Orgrim Doomhammer had risen to power through that clan. When Ner'zhul chose to reforge the Horde after Doomhammer's defeat on Azeroth, Fenris pledged his Thunderlords to the cause.
Fenris accompanied Tagar Spinebreaker on a swift mission to the Tomb of Sargeras, where they slew a demon and claimed the Jeweled Scepter of Sargeras. Fenris gave the scepter to Ner'zhul and fell back into line fighting for the reforged Horde.
Warlords of Draenor Edit
Thunderlord Clan will be active and have a role in the upcoming expansion Warlords of Draenor so it's obvious that Fenris will appear to.
Related to Garm WolfbrotherEdit
In the novel Beyond the Dark Portal, Fenris' given name is "Wolfbrother". Another Wolfbrother, Garm, was the last of the Thunderlord chieftains, and is thus presumed as Fenris' successor. It's possible that Fenris and Garm were father and son, or brothers.
Trivia Edit
- Fenrir (also known as Fenrisúlfr) is the name for the fearsome giant wolf of Norse mythology, fated to break free from his chains on the coming of Ragnarok and eat Odin.
Preceded by: Unknown | Position: Chieftain of the Thunderlord Clan | Succeeded by: Garm Wolfbrother |

If youre tired of going to bed with flabby, self-important books that push you into long-term commitments and rarely deliver on their promises, treat yourself this Valentines Day to a box of Godiva chocolates and Simon Richs hysterical new story collection, The Last Girlfriend on Earth.
It just might be the best one-night stand youll ever have.
Divided into three sections – Boy Meets Girl, Boy Gets Girl, Boy Loses Girl – the books lean sketches range from the bizarre (a magical, natty goat falls hard for a little English girl) to the deliciously profane (a priest unleashes his inner bro to exorcise the ghost of an ex-girlfriend).
Some of these tales have appeared in The New Yorker. All of them will remind you that, when it comes to a good story, size doesnt matter.
In fact, the books best pieces are no longer than a few pages.
Dog Missed Connections, Richs hilarious canine variation on the wistful, occasionally creepy Craigs- list category, might deliver more laughs per word than anything youll read this year: Saw you by the Dumpster, eating a pile of what appeared to be human vomit, posts w4m; Astoria, alley behind Taco Bell. You seemed like someone who doesnt take himself too seriously.
The books first story, Protected, is an oddly warm tale about a sentimental young man negotiating loves battlefield.
Its told through the eyes of a prophylactic living in his wallet.
When I wake up next day, Jordan is dangling me over trash can, the condom says one morning, still in its wrapper. Suddenly, though, Jordan carries me away – to other side of room. I am placed inside shoe box under his bed.
The son of former New York Times columnist Frank Rich, the author was the second-youngest writer ever hired by Saturday Night Live, and his parodies are top-notch.
The Adventure of the Spotted Tie, for example, gives us a Sherlock Holmes who can detect anything but his wifes infidelity.
In Occupy Jens Street, a movement rises up against the entire romantic system: Ninety-nine percent of men are in love with the top one percent of women, says the ringleader. And yet they often refuse to date us. Its a complete injustice.
Lets give the last word here to Xander, a scientist in Richs zany, touching story The Present, whos gotten one too many impersonal birthday gifts for his girlfriend.
He establishes himself as perhaps the books most sympathetic character when he makes this realization: Quantum physics and nuclear hydraulics were trivial compared to the rigors of gift shopping.

.us Redelegation Takes Effect
Supporting Documents
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has taken formal action to make Neustar, the company recently selected by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the definitive registry for all Internet addresses ending in .us. From this point forward, all names in .us will be resolved by Neustar's systems, and Neustar will have authority to make upgrades and changes to the .us domain. In response to the Department of Commerce's need for fast action, ICANN did not apply its normal process in the redelegation. A recent announcement by ICANN justified the exception as an "emergency redelegation" but promised that ICANN would publish a full report and would complete necessary contractual arrangements as soon as possible.

Exceptional Value. A True Surprise!
by An MSN Autos Consumer on 01/22/2008.
Trim: 2002 Ford Focus ZTS, Owned 5 years.
-Great trunk space
-Excellent acceleration (Not expected with a 130 hp 4 cyl.)
-Good MPG
-Adequate Interior
-Comfortable Ride
-Excellent Value
-Ugly, ugly, ugly.
-Cupholders stick to your coffee mug
-Gauge display is pretty cheap
Overall review:
I can honestly say I was not expecting much out of this car but it has been a dream. After driving and riding in comparable 4 cyl. cars, I can say that none of them can match the excelleration and be around the same price.
Very comfortable. You don't feel that crowded.

Ford's Best Kept Secret....
by Paul in NoCo on 02/20/2004.
Trim: 2002 Ford Focus SVT, Owned 2 years.
Great ride/handling compromise. Great engine sounds at higher revs; steering is very communicative. Suprisingly quiet on the hiway.
Cold blooded, engine stumbles till fully warmed up. Soft low end torque. Interior styling a little "odd" but seems to work well in actual use.
Overall review:
Overall, this car has been a delight to own and drive. There have been few problems and the chassis has remained tight and rattle free in 30,000 miles of hard driving. Probably the best Ford product I have ever owned, and a very good car by any standard. It puts a smile on my face everytime I take a corner much faster than I think I should go, all without drama or understeer. Quite an accomplishment for a front driver.

Great economical transportation.
by LibraryLady from Ashley, Ohio on 01/02/2004.
Trim: 2002 Ford Focus ZTS, Owned 2 years.
Economy (purchase price and gas mileage). Interior space: I am tall and big and there is LOTS of head, leg and elbow room in this little car, and it is easy to enter and exit. Acceleration is very good in the ZTS model.
Road noise. Have to turn the CD player up rather loud, and there are no rear speakers. Not much leg room in the back seat.
Overall review:
I'm quite happy with this economical car. I commute an hour each way to work and it is comfortable and affordable transportation. I am aware of the questions about reliability of the Ford Focus, and all I can say is that my 2002 model is over 30,000 miles already and I have had no problems with it at all.

I find it a shame that Parkersburg is so selfish that they cannot give up any space in the either of the city parks for a dog park. It has been asked over and over to have one but been rejected numerous times.
Vienna is so much smaller and is putting one - and a nice one I might add - in Jackson Park. So does this mean that Vienna cares more about the health and well being of its dogs than Parkersburg? I hope not. I hope it's just an oversight on the part of the city that they just haven't found "quite the right spot" to put the dog parks here in Parkersburg.
Their answer when asked about it however was that there is one in Mountwood. Oh, goodie, so let me pile my dogs into the car, use the gas to get out there for them to run around for 15 minutes and then reload them and drive home.
Why should I have to do that when we have a beautiful park within walking distance to most anyone interested in using it.

Versatile image editor
Image Compressor 2008 Pro Edition is a full-featured digital image editor. Although it won't replace Photoshop or other top-of-the line editing software, it's a great choice for users seeking a fairly lightweight program that still delivers plenty of options.
The program's interface is quite sleek and intuitive, although we were dismayed that the Quick Start Guide, which seems to invite users to click on it for information about different topics, couldn't actually be clicked on at all. This was the only hiccup we encountered, though. The interface is fully configurable, allowing users to customize the layout … Read more

Pizza For Guys
12/13/12 by Zerok
The latest of my online forays: a webcomic.
It came about when I bought the domain pizzaforguys.com after a (slightly intoxicated) conversation that is similar to the one in the first strip, "Domain" (posted below). How it actually ended up transforming into a webcomic isn't really traceable. My brain does that sometimes. It's still finding itself, so to speak. I'll be interested to see where it ends up.
Feedback welcome!
[EDIT - a year+ later]
It ended up being a quite the little series. If you visit now, it's stopped on Nov 11/13, sporting a dual message of "thanks" for veterans and "thanks" for reading. In other words, I've finished with it for now, in exchange for a much bigger and more impactful project. More on said impactful project soon.

What exactly is a debt-to-income ratio and how do lenders use it?
Debt-to-income ratio is the percentage of your income you use to pay your debts. Lenders use your debt-to-income ratio as an indicator of your ability to repay debt and generally regard 35% and below as the most favorable ratio. In other words, it appears that you have a higher likelihood of repaying your debt. The higher your ratio, the more of a credit risk you become. If your debt-to-income ratio is over 36%, you may have trouble finding affordable credit, but often lenders may evaluate other circumstances and may still have loan products appropriate for your finances.
Now that you know more about your debt-to-income ratio, get your FREE credit score.

Some people consider a center console the sport-utility vehicle of the marine world, and Boston Whaler's 190 Montauk is one of the most revered center consoles on the water. The boat features a wide beam carried all the way to the squared-off bow. For convenience, a removable aft bench slips into the aft rod holders, while a filler cushion for the bow lounge creates a giant sun pad where your spouse and kids can stretch out and nap protected below the deck lines.
For stowage, the locker under the bow seat makes a good insulated fish box. Another compartment under the helm seat, plus the other locker inside the console, holds a ton of gear. Finally, a third under the stern seat provides storage or can also be plumbed from the factory as a livewell/baitwell.
If you are a fisherman, the 190 Montauk has plenty of fish-fighting space on a nonskid sole, and rod holders are properly placed for trolling. For $35,358, the 190 Montauk comes with a trailer and a 115 hp Mercury EXLPT EFI four-stroke outboard that pushes the boat to speeds approaching 40 mph. When the kids don't feel like trolling anymore, you can toss a tube over the stern and let them have some fun.
If you do head offshore, it's nice to know that you're doing it in a boat that won't sink. Boston Whaler's unibond hull consists of a thick sandwich of foam between two layers of fiberglass, making the hull one big flotation device.

South Fork Commuter Connection
MTA Long Island Rail Road President Helena E. Williams and East End elected officials have announced the implementation of enhanced LIRR train service for the South Fork to mitigate traffic congestion during the reconstruction of County Road 39.
The new LIRR train service is scheduled to operate, weekdays, from October 23, 2007 through May 22, 2008.
"In response to community requests, the LIRR is nearly doubling its service to East End communities during the coming months. We are pleased to be partnering with local East End communities, elected officials and Suffolk County to help mitigate traffic congestion during the construction work on County Road 39," said LIRR President Helena E. Williams. "I am proud that the LIRR has been able to work with community leaders on this initiative."
State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. stated, "South Fork community leaders have long envisioned improved rail and bus service as a means of reducing traffic congestion on the South Fork. The current CR 39 construction project has provided us with an opportunity to request increased rail service."
Enhanced Service to the South Fork
The enhanced service plan calls for the three additional eastbound, weekday trains from Speonk - two terminating in Montauk and one in East Hampton. There will also be three additional westbound, weekday trains - two originating from Montauk and one from East Hampton - terminating at Speonk.
Partnering with the LIRR's service, local communities have agreed to provide connecting bus service from the LIRR's South Fork train stations to local business districts.
Fare modification
As part of the enhanced South Fork service initiative, the LIRR has modified its current fare structure to allow customers to pay a uniform intra-zone fare for travel between Speonk and Montauk. Under this plan, the fare will be the same whether customers are traveling from Speonk or Westhampton during the enhanced service period. It is expected that this fare modification will help direct new customers to the Speonk Station, which is easily accessible and has parking available to meet customer needs. The modified fare will be $2.25 one-way; $1.00 one-way for seniors and disabled riders. The modified weekly fare will be $20 and the monthly fare $66.
"I am indebted to the foresight of new LIRR President Helena Williams. Her willingness to think 'outside the box' has allowed our residents to have a real alternative to the traffic gridlock that is inevitable during the CR 39 project over the next 7-8 months," said State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. "It could also prove to be the catalyst to future mass transit initiatives on the East End. I urge all my constituents to consider the train to meet their commuting needs from now until Memorial Day."
The LIRR's service initiative is expected to create a three-fold benefit of mitigating traffic along County Road 39 during the "rush hour" portions of the day; promoting the use of public transportation on the East End of Long Island, and enhancing the quality of life for East End commuters.
"We are happy to be a partner in this bi-partisan, multi-leveled approach to solving a very real problem to our mutual constituents and customers," said Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy. "I would also like to thank new LIRR President Helena Williams for adopting a 'can-do' rather than a 'can't-do' attitude."
The enhanced service to the South Fork is estimated to cost the LIRR approximately $84,000 per month. Included in this estimate are the costs of fuel, cleaning and maintenance and crew costs. For the seven-month service period, the total LIRR cost is estimated at $588,000.
The LIRR has worked with Assemblyman Fred Thiele and Senator Kenneth LaValle, U.S. Congressman Tim Bishop, and County Executive Steve Levy to fund the additional operating expenses that would be incurred with this enhanced service. As a result, full funding is committed for the service based upon a contribution of federal funds through the assistance of Congressman Tim Bishop, New York State funds through the assistance of Senator Kenneth LaValle, and County funds through the efforts of Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy.

- Uber regulatory circus drives into Denver
Uber, a technology startup that allows users to arrange for a personal car pickup via a smartphone app, said Tuesday that it could be forced to shut down in Denver if rule changes proposed by state regulators are adopted.
One amendment would state that licensed limousine and town car drivers, which Uber contracts with for its service, can only charge a "specified fixed price."
Costs for rides arranged through the Uber app are based on distanced traveled, with a minimum fee of $15.
"This is akin to telling a hotel it is illegal to charge by the night," Uber's Denver general manager Will McCollum wrote in a blog post Tuesday.
Colorado Public Utilities Commission spokesman Terry Bote said the change is "a clarification to what's already in the rule." A separate section of the transportation regulation states that "a charter order shall also contain the prearranged price agreed to between the luxury limousine carrier and the chartering party."
Bote said the rule updates, in the works since August, are not aimed at Uber. But another amendment would eliminate one of the top benefits of using Uber - the ability to have a professional driver in a town car or limo arrive within minutes of a request.
The PUC is proposing to make it illegal for those drivers to be stationed at a pickup location more than 30 minutes prior to the pickup time. Many of Ubers contractors are parked around the downtown area, and riders can see their locations via the app prior to a pick-up request.
"The intent of these rules are to keep luxury limousine companies from operating like taxi companies, which means sitting out in front of hotels and bars and restaurants and soliciting business," Bote said. "They need to have the prearranged ride."
McCollum argues that the changes are intended to "stop innovation, protect incumbents, hurt independent drivers, and shut down Uber in Denver."
San Francisco-based Uber, which launched service in Denver about five months ago, has stirred controversy in several communities. Regulated taxi companies say the service is unfair because Uber doesn't have to answer to regulators. In response, Uber has said it is merely generating leads for drivers that are licensed.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bombing suspect police are still searching for, apparently had a profile on the social network vKontakte, a popular alternative to Facebook in Russia.
The profile, apparently created sometime before March 2012, indicates a user last logged in yesterday at 9:04 p.m. from a mobile device and notes his education at Cambridge Ringe & Latin School. In 2011, the Globe reported Tsarnaev had won a scholarship while there.
The site lists his world view as "Islam," and personal priority as "Career and money."
While the profile appears to be genuine, it has not been verified, and other profiles purporting to be Tsarnaev's have appeared on Twitter and Facebook.
The Twitter account, @Dzhokhar_A, is widely believed to be fake (it was created this morning), but apparently the police are taking it seriously enough to report on over the scanner:
The @dzhokhar_a must be considered fake until confirmed by law enforcement. Seems amateurish, but being treated seriously on scanner.
— Billy Baker (@billy_baker) April 19, 2013
Another Twitter account with his name was also spotted, @Dzhokhar_, which was only used in December and which primarily talked about European football. There does not seem to be any connection between that account and Boston or Cambridge, however, and it is important to remember that Twitter account usernames can be changed at any time, leading to easy manipulation.
The Facebook account with Tsarnaev's name is older, dating back to Sept. 2012, but bears very little personal information, no friends listed in either Cambridge or Boston, and lists him having several dozen wives.

Reinventing Midlife
By Dorothy Foltz-Gray
We all know someone like this: the fortysomething businessman who blows his savings on a Porsche, or the dutiful mother who suddenly dyes her hair blonde and runs away with the tango teacher. Or how about the guy who ditches his wife for a tootsie and buys a snazzy sports car?
These clichés persist for a reason. We live in a youth-obsessed culture, so if we aren't happy with the way things are going in our forties or fifties, it's only natural that some of us react by trying to recapture the trappings of youth.
But even if Porsche sales continue to soar among a certain age group, this sort of solution is starting to seem pretty tired. Perhaps it's because we're living longer than previous generations did—or maybe we're just wising up to the limitations of the quick fix. But if the growing number of workshops and retreats around the country is any indication, more and more of us are using middle age as a chance to ask ourselves what we want to do with what may literally be the second half of our lives.
The fact is, most of us are no longer content to write it off to retirement or some other form of winding down, says Maddy Dychtwald, author of Cycles: How We Live, Work, and Buy, and cofounder of Agewave.com, an online service that advises companies targeting people at midlife and beyond. "Baby boomers make up a third of the population right now," she says, "and they don't view 50 as being over the hill." These days, it's become common to see life more as a series of cycles than as one straight line from beginning to end.
Midlife is when we've answered many of the questions of our youth—what to do, where to live, whom (or whether) to marry—and begin to face a new set. What's my life all about? Where do I go from here? At the same time, it's when we start coming to grips with our limitations, whether it's aging knees or the realization that, hey, maybe we aren't going to be rich or famous after all. And many of us just feel restless, eager to shake up a routine but not quite sure how.
That's where alternative practices can help, says Daphne Stevens, an energy psychologist and life coach in Macon, Georgia, and author of the upcoming Watercolor Bedroom: Creating a Soulful Midlife. "Alternative healing invites us to open the door to all of the selves we can be," she says. The relaxation you get from massage and yoga, for example, may create the contemplative space you need to begin pondering your options. And therapies like hypnosis and guided imagery can unveil a world of possibilities that your conscious, or guarded, mind might never consider. Particulars aside, what's alternative medicine if not a means of paying attention to a person's entire well-being, physical, emotional, and spiritual?
And that's exactly what you need when you find yourself in the middle of your life and things aren't quite right. Witness the four people profiled below. They all underwent some form of midlife crisis, and they all used tec...

Day 1
Depart London
Day 2
The day is free to recover from the flight or stroll amongst broad tree-lined avenues dating from the French period. There is a faded colonial charm where baguettes and good coffee are sold from doorways of grand buildings of a past era. There will be a welcome briefing this evening with dinner at a local restaurant.
Day 3
In Hanoi we take a sightseeing tour of the city this will include visits to the Temple of Literature, the site of the oldest university in Vietnam with over 2000 graduates; Hoa Lo Prison & the Old Quarter of the city with its '36 Streets' where each street is home to shops selling particular products - e.g. 'silk street', 'gold street', 'paper street' and 'naff souvenir street'. Another stop is the grounds of the Presidential Palace where Ho Chi Minh refused to live in the grand structure for symbolic reasons. We visit his traditional Vietnamese stilt house here. In the evening there is the option to enjoy a performance of Hanoi's famous water puppets.
Day 4
We make an early start for the approximately 4-hour journey to Halong Bay. This is one of the most stunningly beautiful sights in South East Asia with roughly 3,000 limestone peaks rising directly from the clear emerald sea. We cruise amongst this amazing karst scenery and enjoy a seafood lunch on board. We overnight on board in twin share cabins with en suite facilities.
Day 5
We continue to cruise around Halong Bay this morning before returning to port. We then drive back to Hanoi, and transfer to the train station and board the Reunification Express for the overnight train ride to Hue, 500km to the south.
Day 6
Arriving mid-morning in Hue we transfer to our hotel. Hue claims to be the cultural and historical centre of Vietnam, and there is plenty to see. The most outstanding sight is the Imperial Citadel with walls six miles in length; inside are the palaces and halls of the Mandarins, and the remains of the Forbidden Purple City, where only the emperor his eunuchs and concubines were allowed. This afternoon we visit the citadel and the famous Thien Mu Pagoda. The pagoda was a centre for anti-government protest in the early 1960's and it houses the Austin car that transported a monk, Thich Quang Duc, to Saigon in 1963 where he burned himself as a protests against the president. The photograph of his self-immolation was printed in newspapers all around the world.We continue our journey to visit the mausoleum of Tu Duc, one of the most extravagant mausoleums of the great Nguyen emperors who ruled Vietnam from Hue between 1802 and 1945.
Day 7
This morning we will take a cycle ride out to the Thanh Toan bridge and a nearby local market. Travelling as the locals do on we discover the sights, sounds and smells of the villages surrounding Hue. Riding past rice paddies and small villages we arrive at Thanh Toan, a small village that is home to a legendary market. There will be time to explore the market stalls, before heading back to Hue for a free afternoon to further get to know this historical centre or to simpy relax by the riverside and absorb the local sights. The morning cycle is a leisurely ride on flat and mostly even terrain. Ride approx 15km.
Day 8
Leaving Hue, our 130km journey drives through the beautiful peninsula of Lang Co between the crystal waters of a lagoon and the Eastern Sea, and then passes over the spectacular Hai Van pass ('Pass of the Ocean Clouds') where the views are stunning. In Danang we first stop at the Cham museum where there are altars, statues and decorative works collected from Hindu and Buddhist temples and towers from the Kingdom of Champa that flourished between the 7th to17th century in Central Vietnam. We then climb Marble Mountain where we explore the large caves which were used by the Viet Cong as a hospital base during the war. From the mountain peak, there are fantastic views over China beach and the surrounding countryside leading on to Hoi An where we spend the night.
Day 9
This morning will include a walking tour of Hoi An, the original European trading port in Vietnam dating back to the mid-sixteenth century. It is now a living museum, with attractive wooden merchant's houses and pagoda-style temples with Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and European architectural influences. It is also a marvellous place to wander around and enjoy the thriving riverside market and great silk, clothes shopping. If you have anything you want made up in mind, you should consider taking a picture of it along with you. This afternoon is free, one popular option is to jump on a bike for a ride through the countryside past local markets, schools and villages before continuing on toMy Khe Beach beach (5 km).
Day 10
This morning we will visit My Son, the Cham civilisation's spiritual home, where Cham kings were buried as early as the fourth century. Although wartime bombing has destroyed much of the site, there are a number of interesting stone towers and sanctuaries. Upon returning to Hoi An the rest of the afternoon is free to carry on enjoying this historic town.
Day 11
We drive to Danang and then fly to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), an exciting and absorbing city where scooters pack the streets and temples stand defiantly alongside modern developments. Devastated by the Vietnam War, it is now a bustling free market city where anything goes. Our hotel is in the heart of this incredible city. We include a visit to the Ben Thanh Market, Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral and War Remnants Museum. The Museum has an interesting photographic record of the Vietnam/American War. Please be aware that some images at the museum are very graphic.
Day 12
Today we leave the city behind us and head north to visit the infamous Cu Chi tunnels. Used by the Viet Cong during the war the network covers 3 levels and approximately 240km of tunnels. Traditionally these were very narrow but some areas have been widened to allow tourists to explore the system. Claustrophobes may prefer to stay outside in the sunshine! In the afternoon we return to Saigon and the rest of the day is free for individual exploration.
Day 13
In the morning we drive to Vinh Long in the Mekong Delta, known as the 'rice bowl' of Vietnam. This region produces most of Vietnam's fruit, sugar cane and coconuts. We take a boat trip on the mighty Mekong River to Cai Be. En route we pass many orchards and friendly locals also travelling by boat. We stop to see some small cottage industries such as rice paper and coconut candy, getting a chance to sample the local produce along the way. The evening is tranquil as we have dinner on an Island and enjoy some 'Delta' hospitality. We spend the night sleeping at a simple guesthouse built in the style of a local house. Bedding, a mosquito net and a small towel are provided.
Day 14
This morning we take a walk through the fruit orchards and navigate our way through the small canals in a traditional wooden sampan. Later we rejoin our boat to rendezvous with our vehicle for the journey back to Saigon via a little visited Cao Dai temple used by devotees of this strange indigenous religion, which fuses all the great religions of east and west.
Day 15
Free day; evening depart.
Day 16
Arrive London.

An Excerpt from Behind the Seams
Molly Pink and her crochet group, the Tarzana Hookers, are thrilled when one of their own gets a shot at the spotlight—but Molly soon learns that life in the entertainment biz can be deadly… The crochet group's informal leader, actress CeeCee Collins, has a movie out, and she's scheduled to appear on a famous talk show. Molly and the girls are excited to tag along, but when one of the Hookers is ejected from the audience for her excited behavior, she manages to drag Molly along with her. It's no fun being stuck in the waiting room, but things really unravel when a producer drinks a cup of coffee with poisoned sweetener. To make matters worse, CeeCee's niece Nell—a production assistant on the show, is the one who served up the spiked drink. Molly and the Hookers must set aside their crochet projects to clear Nell's name and find the killer—before someone else becomes the next Hollywood headline… |

The Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office has arrested two people who allegedly beat and robbed a woman in northern Vanderburgh County earlier this month.
On March 10th, shortly after 1 AM, the victim sought treatment for injuries at a local hospital. She told Sheriff's Office investigators around 11:45 PM on the 9th, she was going to her car parked at a home in the 15,000 block of Old Petersburg Rd. when she was assaulted and robbed. The victim stated that her assailants, a man and a woman, held her down, kicked and beat her using brass knuckles. They stole her purse and cell phone and fled the scene. The victim received medical treatment for her injuries including stitches to cuts on her head. The victim was able to identify both assailants as 24-year-old Justin Michael Vallee and 24-year-old Cierra Dione Greene.
Officials say arrest warrants were obtained and with the assistance of the US Marshal Fugitive Task Force, Vallee and Greene were arrested without incident Monday evening. They are each currently being held in the Vanderburgh County Detention Center on $5,000 bond awaiting a court appearance.

OMAHA, Neb. - Pitching a combined four-hit masterpiece, Razorbacks Ryne Stanek and Barrett Astin achieved a 2-1 victory Monday night over defending national champion and SEC rival South Carolina thrusting Arkansas alone in the winner's bracket of its College World Series Bracket 1 at TD Ameritrade Park. With its 8-1 victory over Kent State last Saturday and 2-1 triumph Monday, Arkansas advances 2-0 to Thursday night's winner's bracket game against Wednesday's loser's bracket winner between South Carolina and Kent State.

Arkansas school officials are up in arms. For years the school districts have been trading students back and forth through the Arkansas School Choice Act and that plan already was in the works for another school term. A few days ago, a federal judge determined, however, that the act is illegal and has issued a ruling saying school districts must cease and desist in regard to this practice.
Benton Parks and Recreation Department and the Benton Parks Commission have been in the news a great deal in recent weeks and it appears the attention on these entities isn't waning. Benton City Council has called a special meeting for 6 p.m. Tuesday to consider an ordinance repealing the Benton Parks and Recreation Commission, which recently conducted an investigation resulting in the dismissal of one employee and leading later to the announced retirement of the department's director.
As a piper played "Amazing Grace," a respectful crowd gathered Thursday afternoon at Kirkpatrick Cemetery off Arkansas 5 North in Bryant for a ceremony to dedicate the hallowed spot that had fallen victim to neglect and was nearly lost from history. The Bryant Historical Society hosted the ceremony that resulted from the efforts of Bryant Alderman Steve Gladden, a past president of the society, and other society members. The current generation of the Kirkpatrick family was unaware of the cemetery's existence, according to Patsy Kirkpatrick Kuhn, who participated in the event.
CONWAY – The Bryant Black Sox Senior American Legion baseball team tied the first game of a doubleheader against the Fort Smith Kerwins 4-4 in the seventh and last inning, but it took the Sox five more innings to come away with a 5-4 12-inning victory on relief pitcher Tryce Schacilin's single to score Tyler Nelson from third on Thursday night at Bear Stadium on the University of Central Arkansas campus in Conway. The Black Sox handled the Kerwins in the second game 11-4.
The board that oversees the Arkansas State Fair accepted a $3 million offer from Little Rock on Thursday to keep the event in the capital city, though board members said they would have preferred to move but just didn't have the money.

Snowstorm bearing down on VermontAlbert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Bill Hunter, Kathy Finnegan and Mike Finnegan, left to right, head to the slopes at the Pico Ski Resort on Christmas Day. Vermont is expected to get 8 to 14 inches of snow tonight and Thursday morning.A white Christmas in Vermont will be followed up by a storm that will turn the Green Mountain State a lot whiter.
A hard-charging storm that prompted thunderstorm and tornado warnings throughout the South on Christmas is expected to arrive in Vermont tonight, bringing snow and moderate to high winds, according to the National Weather Service.
The whole state is going to feel the impacts of this storm, meteorologist Brooke Taber said Christmas afternoon shortly before the weather service issued a winter storm warning for the region.
The storm, which is projected to have the greatest impact in Rutland County and central-northern Vermont, is expected to dump 8 to 14 inches of snow between 7 p.m. today and 7 a.m. Friday, Taber said.
The coastal Noreaster is also expected to bring something less welcome with it winds of 40 to 45 mph.
Coming less than a week after windstorms knocked out power to homes and businesses for up to three days, the prospect of more downed trees and power lines is the last thing that Green Mountain Power and its line workers want to consider, according to company spokesman Jeremy Baker.
I think we had enough for one week, Baker said Tuesday.
But he said the utilitys operational staff didnt believe the projected winds would do as much damage as Fridays gusts, which clocked at 70 mph in some parts of Rutland, Bennington and Addison counties.
Hardest hit by those winds were the towns of Lincoln and Castleton, where power wasnt restored until Monday morning.
While the utility was planning on Christmas to deal with outages in the next couple of days, Baker said there was reason to believe the damage would be much lighter from the snowstorm.
If the winds are below 50 mph it shouldnt be too bad at this time of year with the leaves off the trees, Baker said. Its a concern that we wont take lightly, but we should be OK.
In addition to the weaker winds, the projected snowfall while high isnt expected to be wet and heavy, Baker said.
Weve heard the snowfall will be dry and light, he said.
In the ski industry, that kind of snow is referred to as champagne powder a fitting name for a storm that promises to have Vermont ski areas uncorking bottles to toast a good holiday week.
This storm is coming at a good time for us, said Bonnie MacPherson, spokeswoman for Okemo Mountain Resort in Ludlow, on Tuesday. And its a nice reward for those who booked ahead.
More than half of Okemos 119 trails were open on Christmas Day thanks to rigorous snowmaking. If the resort receives the 11 inches of snow anticipated to fall there this week, MacPherson predicted the whole mountain would be open.
At Killington Ski Resort, snowmakers have been busy adding layers to the light falls of natural snow this month.
But while artificially made snow can cover the major trails, it doesnt inspire far-flung snowboarders and skiers whose backyards in states like New Jersey, New York and Connecticut have been mostly brown until now, according to Rob Megnin, Killingtons director of marketing.
Its looking epic for the weekend, Megnin said. Were really excited about it.

Weight Loss Surgery Doesn't Cut Health Costs
"Someone could come back and say, 'but bariatric surgery improved my life; I was less likely to have a heart attack.' Some studies have shown those kinds of things," Weiner says. But this study didn't address those issues.
"We didn't measure the quality side of the equation," he says. All they looked at was whether the $29,000 cost of the surgery (in 2005 dollars) was made up in lower costs during the ensuing six years. "It does not suggest that the cost for that surgery is made up in savings after the surgery." The cost of the index bariatric procedure was not included in the calculations.
The study's examination of cost data, Weiner says, indicates that patients in the surgical group did lose weight, and did get healthier. But in time, they put weight back on, and costs "may creep back up over time."
Bariatric surgery is performed in about 200,000 patients a year, ostensibly to improve quality of life and reduce risk of heart and metabolic disease. An estimated $168 billion, or 15.5% of the nation's healthcare expenditures, are spent annually to treat obesity and its associated comorbidities.
Weiner says that knowing the surgery doesn't lower healthcare costs can be useful for organizations, public or private payers, or health systems that develop guidelines for providing bariatric surgery. "I don't think it will really impact any doctor or patient for their immediate decision on whether or not they should get surgery. But it does add to our knowledge base of the long-term trade-off of a major medical procedure."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Michelle Vicari (2/27/2013 at 2:23 AM)
I had gastric bypass surgery in 2006. The 158 pound weight loss I achieved resolved all my health issues Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea, High Blood Pressure, and a host of other obesity related health issues I was suffering with. I am off all 8 prescription medications I was on prior to surgery. I have not been to the doctor for anything more than routine check-ups in 6 1/2 years, a great savings to my insurance company but more importantly there's no price that can be put on the quality of life I have gained. Best decision I ever made.
