Cambodia: Phnom Penh
We've been so busy lately that I haven't had proper time to continue on with my blogging of the rest of our SE Asia trip. I left off with us in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam but I still have to talk a bit about Cambodia. We were to spend about 7 days in Cambodia with the main highlight being Angkor Wat in Siem Reap. This post will be fairly short compared to the posts I will do about Angkor Wat and Siem Reap.
We left Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) via a public bus loaded with a bunch of tourists and local people headed to Cambodia. This would be the first time we were using local transportation for such a long journey.
The bus travel itself, if I can recall was interesting at times. The border crossing from Vietnam into Cambodia was unique for us too. We got off at the Vietnam border, off the bus and went through immigration. We got back on to the bus and then drove for about 2 minutes to the next check-point where we got off again, this time it was for Cambodia's border. Luckily the border crossing here was fairly quick and painless. We all piled back onto the bus drove for about 10 minutes and stopped off for lunch. After a quick 30 minute lunch, everyone piled back on to the bus and we headed for Phnom Phen. We even drove though our tour guide's home town too along the way.
Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh is Cambodia's capital city and located on the banks the Mekong River. We were to stay a total of 3 nights at the Cadaramon Hotel. We arrived at the hotel at around 2 PM, we were exhausted and starving. We were going to meet up with the rest of our group later in the evening for dinner so Robyn and I ordered some room service to tide us over until dinner. That was where the rest of our Phnom Penh experience took a dive for the worst. I ordered a rice dish of sorts, Robyn ordered a basic Pho soup. My food was right, but after a while Robyn mentioned that she wasn't feeling good and that her Pho seemed "off". I took a couple bites of it and agreed with her about it tasting "off". It didn't take too long but Robyn started not to feel good, I felt ok but not great. It got so bad that Robyn went to bed and essentially didn't see any of Phnom Penh for the rest of the 3 days we were there. We concluded that we both had gotten food poisoning, but I was able to take the antibiotics we brought where she could not because of being pregnant. It was a horrible experience for both of us, but more so for her. We even had to move rooms because there was construction going on at a building next to where our room was located and Robyn couldn't sleep. She was all achy, feverish and just overall not good.
That evening though, I went off with our group for a little tour of Phnom Penh. We saw how crowded the streets got with scooters and vehicles. We saw the variety temples that dot the Phnom Penh area. We even saw the presidential mansion which is massive. Bigger than anything I've seen here in BC. We even stopped off at the Royal Palace and saw hundreds of people congregated outside of the walls. According to our tour guide (Thou, pronounced "two"), the King of Cambodia died the week before or so and people were paying their respects. We wandered towards the river front and stopped off at a restaurant for dinner that evening.
The next day Robyn was still feeling quite ill. It got so bad that we were not sure if she would be able to travel to Siem Reap and see Angkor Wat in a few days. I was frantic looking at last minute flights out of Phnom Penh to Siem Reap or back to Thailand to come home earlier. Later in the event I went out again with our group and had dinner with a local family who our tour leader knew. They brought out it all for us at their home. I don't think they normally eat what we had a great feast with the family. They even had some of their friends come over and eat with us. I opted not to bring my camera but the food was delicious and I enjoyed drinking rice whiskey from a bottle that had 2 tarantulas in it.
The next day Robyn was feeling a tad bit better, still not great though. Luckily, the night before with the help of our tour leader Thou, we managed to find some real Tylenol to help bring down her aches and fever. Robyn said she was fit enough for travelling again so we were a bit relieved that not only did we not have to fly out of Phnom Penh, but that we would both get to see Angkor Wat; one reason we wanted to go on this 28-day tour with Intrepid.
We left Phnom Penh and headed for Siem Reap. This time we did travel again by private bus and we made a few stops along the way.
Our first stop was for a bathroom break and some snacks. This is where you can pick up Cambodian specialties too, mainly BBQ'd tarantula. If it wasn't for the food poisoning in Phnom Penh, I would have definitely wanted to try it. You could pick a live spider and have them BBQ it for you right there. They also had fried crickets among other local favourites.
Thou mentioned that this was the only place we would be able to get the BBQ'd tarantulas too as they are locally found in the area. If we ever return to Cambodia, we will have to make a special stop to that rest area so I can indulge in some fried critters. I'm always up for trying something new.
The next place we stopped off was an area known for their stone carvings. They would carve marble, sandstone, and other types of rock into beautiful statues and carvings. I bought a little stone elephant from one lady too. Some of the statues they were carving were 2 stories high! I tried to get Munal to stand in front of one to show the height, but she didn't want to be in a photo.
The last stop on our journey from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap was another little road side stand that sold a favourite of Robyn's. That favourite through our entire trip was Sticky Rice. The cool thing about this sticky rice was that it was placed inside bamboo! They would cook the sticky rice inside the bamboo and then you would peel the bamboo like a banana. As you can see from Robyn's expression, the LOVES sticky rice. The bamboo would keep the sticky rice warm for most of the day so you could eat it at a later time.
There we go, a quick recap of our experience in Phnom Penh and the journey up to Siem Reap. We didn't really experience much of Phnom Penh due to our food poisoning but what we did see of it, I am sure there is much more to explore.

No worries - ask all the questions you like. Please go ahead and copy your character creation information here. This thread will be for anything you and I are going to work out that is outside the storyline, any non-story questions you have, etc. I'm going to open a separate game thread for you for a bit, once your character is posted here and we've talked in PMs a little more.

Okay! Sounds good.

Rebecca Faith Smythe
: Gosh, she was pretty. In high school, a lot of the boys in her class had asked her to go steady and it was plain to see why. She had cascades of hurricane blonde curls, entwined with spun gold, cornsilk and caramel. Her eyes were a deep lapis-lazuli, faceted with sapphire and the breath of summer sky, often lined in kohl to emphasize the depth and thick lashes that trimmed her sight. The features were placed on an oval round face like paint on a pure canvas, her round cheeks blushed and her lips were a dusty rose. Rebecca was an average height for a twenty year old woman, with modest curves and long legs. There was something pure about her, something untouchable and holy. She dressed in plain, modern clothing; jeans, t-shirts, sweaters, sneakers. Her jewellery never changed - a silver cross hung around her slim neck and a silver Claddagh ring encircled her right-ring finger.
Behaviour & Personality
: Theres good in everyone, you know, and Rebecca aims to find it. The good Lord blessed us all with compassion, the ability to love and have faith. She is sweet, she is nice, she is so sickeningly naive and doe-eyed to the world that it would be a wonder she could hold up in an apocalypse of any kind. If it wasnt for her cool head, resolve and absolute faith in God, she would have been driven to insanity from the moment the first zombie threw itself against the large oak doors of the large Church. She isnt promiscuous or naughty by any stretch of the imagination, but she is blunt. Almost anything Rebecca wants to say, it will be said, though it tends to come off sweet with her tone of voice. She doesnt have a boyfriend or a lover, or family for that matter (she was orphaned at birth; her mother died giving birth to the girl, and her father committed suicide days later). Rebecca, or Becky as shes commonly known, seems to get along just fine by herself.
Doing the work of God, one zombie at a time
Rebecca would never forget the screams. They wouldnt haunt her, but she would never forget the way they sounded.
She was in the office, counting money, when the scuffle started. She was sitting cross-legged behind a large, polished mahogany desk, thumbing through stacks of ones, fives and twenties when someone yelled out. At the time, Becky didnt understand what they were saying but in retrospect, it would have been accurate. Abominations. She reached under the desk and felt the firm coolness of the shotgun underneath. The church had been robbed before, if you could believe that, and Pastor David thought it would be best to not only pray for protection, and have some physical at hand. Boy was he right. Where was he anyway? Becky wasnt very well trained with the gun, but since she was Treasurer and the one who had to deal with the money, they had to show her how to use it.
Her voice sounded strong and confident, but still had the ring of sweetness to it, like a melody whenever she spoke. The soles of her Keds carried her silently down the hallway connected from her antechamber office to the main room. It was quiet, except for some faint gurgling noises, low moans that made her skin crawl and the rasping intake of a death rattle that raised the hairs on the back of her neck. Becky peered around the corner and what she saw almost made her sick.
You see, they had been doing one of those shut-ins tonight, to raise money for the Church, to get the community together and share their stories on how and why they found Him. It had been Beckys idea naturally, as the Church had been ran by some older people who were quite conventional, but this sparked the interest in the younger people, brought fresh blood into the Church, new members and new family to embrace and love as their own. Well, the idea had worked brilliantly, and there had been a lot of people who came to the shut-in, about fifty. Pastor David was so pleased with her.
From what Becky could see around the corner, back pressed against the cool white-washed stone, all fifty of those people who should be sitting in pews and talking, exchanging stories and such, were now scattered in the most macabre of ways. Billy, a particularly bright ten year old Becky taught in Sunday school, was now strewn across the plush maroon carpet in such a curious way. His neck had been ripped open, and a free flow of blood gushed from the masticated wound. The skin had been torn from his left cheek, peeled down like you would peel a banana, a red blood-lacquered muscle beneath was still twitching.
Dropping to her knees, the butt of the gun tucked into the back of her jeans so it lay against her back, she crawled hands and knees over to the boy. It was a battlefield out here; pews were overturned and splintered, the lectern was also tipped over, and papers had been scattered everywhere, tall candelabras that they had lit were leaning against the drapery, catching it on fire and causing the mouldy velvet to climb and lick with flames. When she finally reached Billy, she took his wrist in her hand, feeling with some sort of hope to see if he had a pulse. It was no use, he had lost too much blood, and there was no point in trying to resuscitate him. Taking two slim fingers, she closed the lids over his glassy green eyes and murmured,
Lord, watch over this departed soul and guide them home to you. In your blessed name I pray, amen.
Perhaps she had said it too loud, because something rustled from the pulpit. She looked up over a chunk of the pew and saw who she had been looking for. Standing up all the way, taking the gun and holding it by her side, Becky smiled her dazzling smile, despite the situation.
Pastor David!
She called, waving her free hand over her head. It was good to see someone stable, someone she knew was good, they could work on what happened here. A killing spree maybe? She looked around on the floor around her, everything was splattered with blood.
What happened?
She breathed out, as she heard him shuffling closer.
Becky looked up, and almost too late. Pastor David was covered from the mouth down in dried and fresh blood, his eyes were flat and milky, and he smelled like something from a sewer.
P-pastor Da-?
Though she never got out his name before he lunged himself onto her. He was bigger than her by a head and broader. She could hear his teeth gnashing and trying to rip into her hair and neck while Becky lifted the gun and held it across her chest, trying to push him off. The blood devil got to Pastor David, and now hes infected, and God wants her to kill him for making these people suffer. It made sense in her head. Murmuring prayer again, she shoved hard, the butt of the gun slipping to lodge in Pastor Davids chest, knocking him backwards as Becky threw her weight into it.
Chest heaving and gun gripped in her hand, the girl stared down the shambles of the man as he made to lunge again. She was quicker this time, and he went stumbling by her as she turned away, running to duck behind a pew. She was checking the gun, the bullets it was loaded. Popping up from behind the wooden bench, she aimed for his forehead and took a deep breath.
Sorry Pastor David, but you have to die now. I hope God has mercy on your soul,
She yelled before squeezing the trigger.
Two things happened. The shot had been off, and blew off half of Pastor Davids face, leaving the flesh to drop on the carpet with thick, wet slaps. One of his eyes were gone, she could see his exposed brain, the other eye had been forced from the socket and hanging grotesquely like a meatball on a piece of spaghetti, from out of his skull. Also, Becky was flung backwards, her shoulder smarting from where the end of the gun rammed her from the recoil. She hit her head, and could feel some warm blood dribbling down the back of her neck. Now was not the time to worry about that. He was still standing and about to come for her again.
How could he see?!
Becky thought frantically, scrambling to her feet and pulling down the pump with a resolute click. She ran up the center of the room, jumping over bodies and putting more distance between her and the Pastor. Finally, she reached the podium and planted her two feet there, aiming the gun as he came stumbling up the aisle. Something cool touched her mind, hardening her resolve. She needed to protect the other people outside this Church, and it all started with doing away with this man who was no longer the kind-hearted and good natured Pastor. Something whispered to her, but she didnt hear it in her ears, she heard it in her heart and in her mind.
Glorious, cleansing fire. Yes. Becky reached over and yanked one of the smouldering tapestries off the wall, carefully stepping back so it didnt fall on her. It was long and heavy and the flames were climbing higher. She knew that she only had one shot at this, to make it work and get the heck out of here. Holding the good side of the fabric and shaking it out like a matador to some creepy, decaying and bloodstained bull, she ran. She ran right at the zombie, pulling the tapestry over his head with a throw and stepping around the now moving mound of velvet. She grabbed one of the candelabra that was standing, undisturbed near the only whole pew and prodded it into the fabric, waiting for it to catch fire.
It was taking too long, he was going to get out, and she could see the gruesome hands clawing. Without meaning to do it, and without thinking, Becky ran behind a smaller section of a broken pew and with a heave, turned it so it was standing straight up. Her muscles strained and she felt something pull in her back, but this needed to be done, all pain aside. The adrenaline was numbing her anyway. Looking around it, she narrowed one eye as if sizing up the moving mound and pushed.
It fell with a large bang and sickening crunch as the zombie was crushed beneath, a low moan escaping it as she saw the feet twitch. The fire was lapping its way up the wood of the pew now; everything was going to catch fire soon.
Rebecca limped away back to the office, gun in hand. She took the cash that was sitting there and stuffed it into her pocket (
Ill donate it to another Church
), her purse, the first aid kit, all the ammo they have stored and the food she had packed for overnight. Her hand grasped the rosary that was lying on the desk and she pocketed that as well. Tossing it all into a backpack that had her change of clothes and toiletries she had brought for the shut in, Rebecca slid it over her arms. Palming the gun in her hand and wiping the blood off her face with her hands, she made a break for the back exit.

July 13th, 2012 at 12:27 pmCame home VERY late. Fell asleep at the wheel in my yard. Waken up with the sound of the gate slamming shut. Expected to see my love welcoming me home. I was not at my house. I had driven to the wrong place and these people seemed not welcoming. We're they going to hurt me?
Woke for real then with a rush of fear. Adrenaline. Nerves tingling. Wow.
Any good dream interpreters out there?

My wife and I are planning on taking a last minute trip to WDW either the last week of this month or one week next month (October).
We were considering signing up for the free dining plan but I was thinking that maybe this may not be worth it for us right now. We have an infant and a 3 year old and we feel we will not be using the full service option very frequently. And if we did want to, we would want to do a character breakfast or something like that.
Bottom line is that with the date approaching fast and the desire to do some of the character breakfasts or more popular full service options, will we be shut out of those by others who have signed up already for the dining plan and made their resevations ahead of time, or will we find decent availability once we have committed to the plan and set out to make our reservations?
Any feedback on past experiences would be awesome asI am looking to book this weekend. Thanks.

We head to Hawaii for episode 26 (Brought to you by RiptApparel.com and Moose Stache Wax)! I am joined by my future brother-in-law for a fun day of beach drinking and site seeing! Although we didn't know the name of the beach we were on while there, a simple google search told me we were at Eternity Beach, just outside Honolulu! If you ever head over to the island of Oahu, I highly recommend finding this beach (and bringing along a cold one or two)!

Symmetry and Equilibrium
A Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game spotlight by guest writer Marius Hartland |
Call of Cthulhu LCG | Published 23 September 2011 |
The jade amulet now reposed in a niche in our museum, and sometimes we burned a strangely scented candle before it. We read much in Alhazred's Necronomicon about its properties, and about the relation of ghosts' souls to the objects it symbolized; and were disturbed by what we read.
Then terror came.
–H.P. Lovecraft, The Hound
Welcome back, Initiate! A few weeks back, we looked at what power the Order of the Silver Twilight stands to gain from the Curse of the Jade Emperor. Controlling the flow of your turn might seem like a neat trick, but the Silver Twilight doesn't stop there. Our goal is to control the ebb and flow of an entire game. To achieve that very goal, we have Initiate of Huang Hun (Curse of the Jade Emperor, 40) on our side.
At first glance, he may seem like a stranger, more symmetrical version of Lord Jeffrey Farrington (Order of the Silver Twilight, 16) that allows your opponent to choose what he returns. The cold harsh truth of the situation is that when the game offers symmetry, balance seldom follows. After all, you choose to play symmetrical cards the moment symmetry works in your favor.
From initiate to master
So, how does it work? When Initiate of Huang Hun comes into play, you can choose to trigger his Response. If you do, each player returns a character of his choice to his hand. You can choose to have the Initiate return himself, and you can repeat the trick. Accounting for how you set up your domains, it's possible to do this multiple times per turn. The Initiate is fairly cheap at two cost, so unless your opponents can replay all their bounced characters in one turn, you'll be gaining quite an advantage.
Even when your opponents can replay all the characters they have to return, doing so stunts the development of their board position and ties up all their domains. Until you choose to do something else. Better yet, you're doing this at 'Response' speed, making it difficult to disrupt the trick with the usual means. Most events and support cards operate at 'Action' speed, so they'll be too late to take care of the Initiate.
Establishing equilibrium on your terms
This strategy is not completely fail safe, though. It helps maintain the status quo, but that doesn't help you if you're already behind. Clifton Rosenberg (Order of the Silver Twilight, 16) may help you catch up or take the lead, but only if your opponent has a lot of Heroic or Villainous characters. Meanwhile, your opponent might very well have characters with 'when it comes into play' responses of their own. And if they keep replaying their characters, there is little that holds them back or prevents them from playing aggressively. You are not locking them out completely. You are just slowing them down.
Other ways they can get back at you include hand manipulation effects, like Clover Club Deck (Twilight Horror, 6). The true champion of disruption in this case may very well be Miskatonic University though. Not only are they able to make the best of the early window of opportunity with aggressive commitment to stories and their Investigation icons, but since you keep replaying the same character, the University can use Notebook Sketches (Mountains of Madness, 4) or Dreamlore Documents (In Memory of Day, 25) to lock the Initiate out of the game. Professor Lake (Mountains of Madness, 3) can limit him to being played only once per turn.
But it's hard work. Not everyone is initially equipped to deal with the Initiate of Huang Hun at this moment, so all the Order needs to do is set up an early advantage and use the Initiate of Huang Hun to help maintain it. Once it does, the Order will finally get the respect it deserves as a power to be reckoned with among the factions of Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game.
Curse of the Jade Emperor is on sale now! For more information, read the announcement.
Based on the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and his literary circle, Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game takes two players deep into the Cthulhu Mythos where investigators clash with the Ancient Ones and Elder Gods for the fate of the world. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Asylum Pack expansions to the core game.
Thanks for the preview, Marius!
I'm still not a fan of the Lodge as a whole, but there's about a handful of cards that are very interesting indeed.
I think the Initiate might work well in combination with the Syndicate if only due to being a Criminal character. Syndicate also has a couple of nice characters with Responses triggering on entering play.

Overall Experience
My stay
Byi am getting very mad
January 18, 2015
I have stayed here many times. Always had very good stays. I am here on business. I look forward to a good breakfast before I leave on my work. The owner has changed that. All of the other hotels in the area have a morning breakfast. I may have to start staying at another hotel.

It was a good hotel at a good price. I would definitely stay here again.
Byno encore
December 12, 2014
When I arrived my room was freezing. I turned the heat on and called the front desk. They brought me 3 blankets. I was not planning on camping. It took greater than an hour after I turned the heat on before I felt like I was actually inside. I certainly did not feel like a Platinum member. Worst experience I have had by far. I got very little sleep because I was froze. Staff just kept blaming it on someone else. Certainly not an IHG experience. Disgusted!!!!
Miserable Night
December 10, 2014
Expected better since this was a Candlewood Suites. Interior of hotel was dark and dingey, Thermostat in room was not working. Room temp could not be adjusted. Furniture in room was poor and needs replacing. Bed uncomfortable. If not for the professionalism of staff, would have gone to hotel next door .

Nokia Surveys Qt Users
In a detailed online survey, the Qt Software division of Nokia is seeking input from Qt users.
The Qt users surveyed are programmers, sales and training personnel who write or deploy Qt apps for particular platforms and end-user groups. The survey doesn't take more than 15 minutes, despite the high volume of questions. The Qt maker wants to know, for example, how many colleagues work in which programming languages. Completing the survey entitles participants to win one of 50 Nokia N900s.
Some of the questions may not have been thought out completely. The survey first asks about distributed teams, then wants to know at which single location they reside.
Comments in the survey blog ranged from complaints about the survey's length to statements of general excitement. Some participants had trouble with drag-and-drop on the iPhone, so that mode was discouraged. A deadline was not mentioned. Details are on the Qt User Survey page.

First roll with the faulty Pentax!
I found a Pentax K1000 at a junk store for a great price only to find it did not advance film correctly... which i suppose is why it was at the junk store. :) So in my first roll i have found that every picture it takes is double or triple! I think i will still use it, though... my special "doubles only" camera.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by kimo with a Pentax K1000 loaded with 35 mm film in Seattle, WA, United States. These tags describe this photo: lomo, lomography, pentax, 35mm, film, seattle, street, music, flowers, sun, hot, dragon, rock, stairs, night, club, live, morning, double, triple, faulty, broken, kitty, and cat.

I've done so much googling, but I can't find anything that looks like this beetle I saw on the outside of my raised bed this morning. I'm trying to figure out whether he's harmless, or whether he's a sign of big trouble to come. If anyone know what it is and could help me out, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!

hahaha thanks so much! Maybe if I hadn't been too scared to touch it I would have figured out it was a shell and not an actual bug :-) |

As I recall the turn around time to bear for magness is LONG. My uncle bought a house years back with an established and labeled tree that still produces IMHO the best pear around.
Assuming enhanced precocity, what timeline could I expect on quince? 3-4yrs with good cultural practices? Noogy |

I hope so, my Magness not on quince is ten years old with no fruit, so I added one on quince this spring. Given how slow Magness is, it may take more like five years to fruit on quince, but I sure hope it is faster. It is about the best pear I have ever eaten. The only downside is it is somewhat small.

Nicholas Carnes
As a young professor, Nicholas Carnes (BA '06) can relate to the devoted TU educators who mentored him in college. TU's effective teaching model and its faculty left an impression on him, and he's discovered a new appreciation for their work.
"I try my best to live up to the high standards my professors had here," Carnes said. "They took the time to really invest in me, and it paid off in my career."
After receiving a TU bachelor's degree in political science, the Pittsburg, Kan., native enrolled at Princeton University where he earned a master's degree in politics in 2008 and a doctorate in politics and social policy in 2011. His research as a doctoral student specifically focused on economic and social class inequality in American government and politics and led to the inspiration for his new book, White-collar Government: How Class-imbalanced Legislatures Distort Economic Policy-making in the United States.
"People from the working class make up just a tiny fraction of those in politics," Carnes said. "There's a big gap between the economic and social class makeup of our country and the makeup of our politicians, and that has real consequences for economic policy."
Today as an assistant professor of public policy at Duke University's Sanford School of Public Policy, Carnes is still studying the reasons why so few people from the middle and working class serve in political office. His research continues, and he hopes to make a difference in the lives of his students, just like his TU professors.
"They knew my name and knew what I wanted to do with my life," Carnes said. "They were willing to work with me and help me improve my writing, communication and critical thinking skills. You get a world-class education at TU."

Shakti Sunfire's 'What Not To Miss' list
If you're dipping your toe into the Wanderlust waters for the first time this summer, we know that the sheer magnitude of things to do at the festival can be overwhelming! Luckily for you, we've enlisted a Wanderlust expert to help you navigate the schedule: multi-year Wanderlust alum and hooper extraordinaire Shakti Sunfire provides her hit list of "What Not To Miss at Wanderlust."
Wanderlust Vermont
"Yoga and Horses" ~ I grew up riding in Colorado and in many ways this was my first introduction to yoga... harmony, attunement, deep listening and relationship. Horses have so much they can teach us and what better place to learn than the rolling hills of New England!
"Yogi Revolution, Love is the Solution" with Amanda Giacomini ~ If you are on the East Coast and haven't yet met the radiance that is Amanda Giacomini, this class is for you. Amanda is one of my sisters, an artist, a storyteller and true yogini. Her class is sure to delight you.
"Wanderlust Spectacular" ~ A first in Wanderlust history, we're combining the beauty and aesthetics of alliterative yoga movements like hula hooping, acro yoga, music and dance into one HUGE show! Vermont will kick off the summer for all involved, including MC Yogi, Quixotic, DJ Drez, the YogaSlackers, myself and Acro yogis!
"Arm Balances as a Grounding Practice" with Elena Brower ~ Elena. What more can be said about this one? She's excellent in all things. Funny, witty, down-to-earth, powerful and present. Any class you can take with her will accelerate your practice and make you smile.
Wanderlust Colorado
"Intro to Slackline Yoga" ~ What better place to learn how to walk the link than the mountains of Colorado? The Yoga Slackers blend yoga alignment principles, slacklining and acro yoga in this completely accessible and laughter-filled intro class.
"Beastie Yogi" with MC Yogi and DJ Drez ~ I don't think I need to explain this one. Two AMAZING musicians and yogis who are sure to bring the house down!
"The Art of Play" with Desiree Rumbaugh ~ She's a delight to learn from and to be around. Desiree's deep love and experiential knowledge of yoga in all it's forms is clear in her teaching.
"Walking Between the Worlds - Keys to Ecological Healing" with Jeanine Canty ~ I grew up in Denver/Boulder and living near Naropa University opened my eyes in many ways. There is no doubt that we as a species are growing more and more disconnected from nature and our environment with many ill effects. The time is now to be a part of the change. I won't miss this talk.
Wanderlust California
"Mythic Yoga Flow" with Sianna Sherman ~ Expert storyteller, deep practitioner and activated leader in the community, Sianna Sherman needs to be at the top of your list. A perfect way to start the weekend with a story of Ganesha, you will leave open in body, mind and heart.
"One Hoop One Love" ~ I know I know... tooting my own horn! But seriously, with all the asana happening at this event it is pure JOY to step outside and get into rhythmic flow in the hoop. This class is a fun and full intro to the basics of hoopdance and you will leave having accomplished something you may never have thought possible. See you there!
"Morning Meditation Hike" with Garth Stevenson ~ An annual ritual for me in Tahoe. Join Garth, his cello, and a plethora of mountain wild flowers up on the mountain for a whole body/mind tune-up.
Stand up Paddleboarding ~ An unreal experience on the turquoise waters of Lake Tahoe! It's easy to get caught up in the daily happenings at Wanderlust and never make it to the lake. Get it on your schedule early... it fills fast!
"Rhythmic Vinyasa" with Shiva Rea ~ Do you ever feel like your breath is just working hard to catch up in vinyasa? Shiva expertly guides you through a deep syncing up with the rhythms of nature in living vinyasa.
Wanderlust Whistler
"First Flight" with Jenny Sauer-Klein and Adam Rinder ~ You've seen it, you've maybe tried it once or twice, and now you get to learn it! From two of the experts, learn to fly, to move and to feel free in the air. One of my favorite things to do.
"Fire in the Belly" with Kia Miller and Schuyler Grant ~ As a dancer I often realize just how important the core is - not just physcially, but emotionally as well. These two powerhouse woman have co-created the perfect class to steer us into the heart of passion and personal power.
Big thanks to Shakti for this incredibly helpful guide to navigate the Wanderlust schedule! To keep in the loop (or in the hoop, as the case may be) with all-things-Shakti, be sure to fan her up on Facebook here, and check out her website, www.onehooponelove.com.

Patagonia® Maha Breathe Mesh Ballet Flats
great purchase
I have had these shoes before and love them. Too expensive for me but on super sale definitely worth it. Very comfy and true to size.
September 18, 2014
too bad
Sadly, I could not get the fit right on these. My normal size 7.5 was too big and flopped off my heel, but the size 7 hurt my toes...Otherwise, they are cute and lightweight and probably would be best for yoga or exercise. Not much support for walking around though.
September 16, 2014
Gaps on sides
I own several other GH ballet flats. However, these are too wide for my feet, which are medium to narrow width. I would need insoles to make them feel as if they were going to stay on when I walk. Socks are out, as they would look strange with these shoes.
The length is okay--I wear a 1/2 size and ordered up as suggested. Disappointed to be sending them back.
August 8, 2014
all day flats
These darling flats are soft as slippers and give a spring to one's step. So cute and comfortable for all-day ware, and cool on the feet.
June 28, 2014
So comfy and cute
These shoes feel like slippers. I love the soft color of these gray shoes.
June 18, 2014
I want BLACK!
Simply love this shoe. Have worn out my pair after several years and want to reorder! What's up with no black? Please don't discontinue this shoe!!!!!

Product Q&A
Ask your questions. Share your answers.
I have a moderately severe bunion on my right foot and often shoe boxes are not wide enough to accommodate it (or the toe box is too low-cut and cuts into the bone). Do you know if these shoes are suitable for women with bunions?
1 year, 10 months ago
I think the shoe style should be wide enough, but you may want to order 1/2 size bigger, or try for the B or C width. If unsure of style accommodation, please contact customer service.Age: 55-64

These do have a little bit of stretch from the mesh around the perimeter of the shoe, so they may work for you.1 year, 10 months ago

My recent video about the resurgence of tango in Buenos Aires is only the latest chapter in a very long story.
The tango's birth was a slow one. It drew from the myriad cultures that helped shape Argentina — those from western to eastern Europe, from northern to southern Africa, which mixed in Spain and, later, in the New World around the turn of the 20th century. Tango is both dance and music — an archetypally Argentine art form."In Argentina everything may change — except the tango," goes an old saying. But like any form of culture, the tango has had its ups and downs, and has undergone its evolutions.
The tango went into hiding in the middle of the century under successive military dictatorships in Argentina. It was rejuvenated in the 1980s and 1990s, largely on the basis of its newfound popularity in foreign films and dance revues.
Thus arose the "Nuevo Tango." The music of Nuevo Tango forerunners, such as Astor Piazzola, included elements of jazz and classical music. Some, such as Osvaldo Pugliese, even introduced rock and heavy metal sensibilities.
The dance would eventually incorporate movements that traditionally belonged to other Latin American dance forms. Inevitably, this sort of innovation was controversial — and many still refuse to countenance Nuevo Tango's very existence, much less whether it merits the tango name.
Despite the debate about the tango's recent reinvention, many agree that a real renaissance is now taking place. In the past decade, many young people have rediscovered the traditional tango and made it their own. Which brings to mind another Argentine aphorism: "The tango always awaits you."

I loved it, there were things that had to be changed in order to fit into a 3 hour movie but it was done masterfully. I loved the watchman graphic novel and this movie did justice to it, it really did.
I see on the internet people are complaining about certain trivial things, believe me if you are buying into the internet whining, this movie was good and you should see it. Some might be scared to see it, assuming it will be a travesty such as many adaptations, but It wasnt. People who say it was are just completely out of touch and unrealistic.
Some stuff was lost (SPOILERS):
-Most notably, the ending. The Giant squid that was supposed to trick everybody into thinking aliens attacked is replaced by something that I believe is more sensible and actually improves the Watchmen story, but most importantly It was more suited for the big screen adaptation. This was NOT a negative perversion of the original, it accomplished the same things and didnt harm the material at all I swear to god. Anybody who says otherwise is being far too picky and unrealistic.
- Captain Metropolis isnt included in the 1970s attempt to form a league of masked heroes in which Dr. Manhattan meets Silk SpectreII for the first time. Instead his character is never shown outside of 1940s flashbacks and his role in that meeting is absorbed by Adrian Veidt which didnt fit I felt as well as the overly optomistic Captain Metroplis, but it was done in such a way that the change can be excused.
-The incredible focus on unimportant characters such as the psychiatrist, newspaper vendor, etc have been completely removed and they no longer have prolonged scenes and character development in which they are the focus. Thank god for that, that would require an extra hour at least of scenes that wouldnt really work for a movie, people would criticize the watchmen as too long and too boring if these werent flattened out.
Im amazed, I really am, that this movie was able to do such a good job transferring such an amazing story to the big screen. In my opinion if Alan Moore never watches this movie and acknowledge that it wasnt bad, Ill be pissed off. If I was Alan Moore I would be so freaking ecstatic that such a faithful adaptation was made of such a difficult to portray graphic novel.'
If you havent seen the movie, GO WATCH IT BEFORE IT LEAVES THEATERS. Honestly.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Abby!
Facts about Abby
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Abby's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
My adoption fee is only $75! Woof! My name's Abby and I am a social and spunky dog. I love squeaky toys and love to play! I would make a great addition to a family with children ages 12 and older. Come by the shelter, I would love to meet you and interact with you!
All shelter pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped upon adoption. Dogs adopted to residents of Chula Vista will also receive a free one-year license.
To check on the status of this dog, please call (619) 691-5174. Make sure to have the ID# handy!
Or stop by our facility and meet all of our great adoptable animals:
Chula Vista Animal Care Facility
130 Beyer Way Chula Vista, CA 91911
(619) 691-5123
Hours at the shelter are:
*Tuesday through Friday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
*Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
*Closed Sundays, Mondays, and all major holidays
Other Pets at Chula Vista Animal Care Facility (public)
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Abby, a Chula Vista Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Chula Vista, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Chula Vista.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chula Vista already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chula Vista breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chula Vista paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

A 2008 Sen. Obama quote: "The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents — number 43 added $4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child."
Now the national debt is $16.5 trillion. Obama has added more to the debt during his first term than the first 42 presidents combined. Republicans in the House of Representatives want to tie spending cuts to a debt ceiling increase. So, what does President Obama say about raising the debt ceiling now?
Consider a quote from January 15:
"Now if the House and the Senate want to give me the authority so that they don't have to take these tough votes, if they want to put the responsibility on me to raise the debt ceiling, I'm happily (sic) to take it. Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, had a proposal like that last year, and I'm happy to accept it. But if they want to keep this responsibility, then they need to go ahead and get it done. And you know, there are no magic tricks here. There are no loopholes."
Hypocrisy? You make the call.

Getting into first place is what it is all about when you are the manager of your very own soccer club. Train, trade and give a direction to your club as you vie for the number one spot...
Previously known as goalunited 2013, this game puts you in the shoes of manager of your own soccer team. Your ultimate goal for the season: to win the league. Goalunited 2014 is all about being number 1 in your league and getting all the fame for your club. However, it is never easy to get to the top, much less stay there. As a manager, you will not only have to manage your club, but your own life as well.
The heart of the team is a manager and that means that the players are the body. You must drive your players to train harder and play better than ever before. They will need the right energy if they are to win and you can see where you team needs improvement in the training overview. Every aspect of a player can be trained and there can be no weaknesses on a championship team.
It makes no difference how good your players are if you don't lead them with a solid strategy in mind. Create an individual lineup of your players in goalunited to bring life and chemistry to your team. If you're short on time and looking to speed things up, you can also utilize a standard lineup function.
Money is the name of the game when managing a club. Without money, you can't pay your players and then they won't play for you. It is not only about the salaries though, your stadium cannot be some dump where no one wants to go; rather, a beacon and shining example of what a stadium should be. This will bring in more spectators, a vital source of income for your club.
A manager is responsible for every aspect of a club from the players, salary and stadium. Goalunited 2014 features all of these aspects and more as you lead your team to the top of the table in your league. Only by becoming number 1 will you prove to everyone how good your managerial skills and strategy are.

V-plows achieve smooth tripping action
Posted By admin On January 25, 2008 @ 12:00 am In Boomerang | No Comments
Hiniker™s 9000 series V-plows feature high-clearance trip-edge design for enhanced protection. Located 9 inches above ground level, the pinch-free pivot point improves protection from higher obstacles, such as curbs and parking barriers. Each side of the plow trips independently for smooth tripping action, and the plow™s high-tensile steel superstructure has 12 laser-cut ribs for heavy-duty applications. The 30-inch tall moldboard provides a low-friction, high-density polyethylene surface that resists dents and corrosion. Double-acting hydraulic cylinders allow positive hydraulic control of moldboard positioning, whether plowing forward or dragging backwards.

You Want to Talk About Easy?
April 25, 2014 - Author: AmyNot referring to myself.
You know what I am exceptionally good at?
Exceptionally easy crafts.
My front door has been bare ever since I took down the Christmas wreath last week.
So while we were at Hobby Lobby crying over the price of custom frames, I grabbed a grape vine wreath and can of white spray paint because I can afford those.
Oh my gosssshhhhhh, Amy, you are such a homemaking prodigy.
I am less adept at horticulture. I didn't feel like finding anything to spray paint this on top of, so I just did it in the grass in the front yard on a super windy day and now D is mad at me for the giant white spot and is pretty sure I poisoned and killed all the grass in the surrounding counties.
But really, I do like the white against the navy. Should serve well enough throughout the seasons.
Who else has an easy project they'd like to let me rip off? Does anyone need any front door wreath consultations? I'm really good at them!

This article is from the WebMD News Archive
May 2, 2011 -- It has often been thought that an infant's sleeping patterns are related to his or her growth, but this theory was never documented until now.
New research in the May 1 issue of Sleep shows that an increase in the number of sessions of sleep, as well as an increase in total daily hours of sleep, likely means that an infant is experiencing a growth spurt.
"The results demonstrate empirically that growth spurts not only occur during sleep but are significantly influenced by sleep [and] longer sleep [equals] greater growth in body length," says study researcher Michelle Lampl, MD, PhD, the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor in the department of anthropology at Emory University in Atlanta, in an email.
In the new study, 23 sets of parents of newborns kept daily sleep records. Infant sleep time was compared with growth in length for durations ranging from four to 17 months.
Growth spurts in length tended to follow increased sleeping and nap time. Growth spurts usually occurred within two days of the increased sleep, the study showed.

Switched From Python To Ruby
Roll call of wikizens who once preferred

Sami Samhuri (I still use Python, just less. They are both fine languages to learn! Ruby's ubiquity by being useful as a new perl -e and new bash/zsh for shell scripts makes it really easy to just use everywhere. If you need real threads Python may be a better choice for your program. Choose a tool based on the task, and which will help complete the task best.)
Me (because I don't have a famous wikiname). But what I *really* want is a hybrid syntax with optional static types--A hybrid between

I started with PHP and Python, now in Ruby. I'm in love with the 'attributes and methods can be called the same way' part of Ruby, but the trace backs are horribly insufficient. Otherwise, I love the purity and clean feel of the OO-ness for Ruby. I miss the indent==scope of Python and abhor the "end" that's forced on you in ruby, but I feel like the lack of "self" and parens() totally make up for it. Best ORM around.

Yes, it's really that bad!
From the PC Gamer Post:
Yes, the Hitman trailer was dumb. No argument, the Tomb Raider one was controversial. But for sheer, slack-jawed "What in the name of hell were you thinking?", you really can't beat this slice of style-over-substance-and-also-sanity drivel. It's as if NCSoft/ArenaNet looked at Guild Wars 2 and said "You know, it doesn't seem fair, having the most exciting, smartest MMO of the year. How about we make everyone else feel a bit better by going out there and having our trousers fall around our ankles?"
"Sure thing," came the reply from on high. "As long as you put a dragon in it."
You are dumber for having seen that. May all those responsible have their houses spray-painted with CG graffiti, be forced to walk much too slowly across hot coals, and most importantly, have their copy of After Effects taken away. This may seem harsh, but it's the only way they're going to learn.
