When LeBron James sent Jason Terry to Tha Crossroads with a very tall dunk, you couldn't help feeling that LeBron took more than a small bit of satisfaction that said dunk was on said Jason Terry. You know, the same guy who antagonized him throughout the 2011 NBA Finals and partially credits the Mavs' championship to a moment of celebration betwixt LeBron and Dwyane Wade — of course LeBron was going to be pretty happy he'd just grounded the JET.
That's why I'm very glad to tell you that you're right — LeBron James is happy that it was Jason Terry he dunked on. From Ira Winderman of the South Florida SunSentinel:
LeBron on Monday dunk on Jason Terry, "t was one of my better ones. And the fact that it happened to J.T. made it even that much sweeter…
More LeBron on Terry, "…Because I think we all know what J.T. talks, and he talks too much sometimes and I'm glad it happened to him."
I think we can all agree that in those few seconds post-dunk, when LeBron barely took a step toward Terry's corpse, that this thought — "I'm glad it happened to him" — is exactly what was going through LeBron's head. Yeah, it was a dunk, but it was also kind of a "Shut up, little man" that was literally years in the making. And just like "Jurassic Park," the payoff was worth it.
For his part, Jason Terry seems to be taking things pretty well. From Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe:
Terry cont: "My reaction was when the fans were cheering and I went up and knocked down the technical. That's a great reaction."
Nice zing. And nice job saving a point on the three-point play. Too bad about you still got dunked on and we all saw it.

The evolution of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue
In regards to the general sports landscape, February is a rough month. We lived through the first full weekend of the year without football, and it sucked.
College basketball is nearing March madness, but we're not quite there yet. The NBA is nearing the second half of the season, but we're not quite there yet, and spring training is about to begin. All this anticipation is annoying for those who prefer to live in the moment.
The people at Sports Illustrated had February in mind when they conjured up the idea of a swimsuit issue back in 1964.
Since then, the issue has become responsible for roughly 7% of SI's yearly revenue. The issue has truly become bigger than the magazine itself.

Crash Reporting & DDACTS
Web-based Crash Reporting
MDT is providing funding to the Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) to implement a statewide, web-based crash reporting program for all law enforcement agencies (LEAs) that report crash data with the goal of uniform crash reporting. For those LEAs with their own electronic data systems, a mechanism will be developed to allow those agencies the ability to enter the data into their own system then transmit the required data electronically into the MHP system. MHP is reaching out to local police and sheriff's offices to ensure all LEAs will have the resources to make the switch from the older system to the more robust, MMUCC-compliant system. MHP will train and support the locals on the use of the web based crash form with formal trainings beginning once testing is complete and a phased roll-out plan is developed.
The Miles City Police Department will be the first LEA to begin using the new system as production testers before deployment to the rest of the state. As part of the outreach to local law enforcement, MHP is also reaching out to the individual tribes to determine the best way to meet everyone's needs in sharing crash data. The ultimate goal is to electronically gather non-sensitive tribal crash information using the same system developed for the rest of the state. Once the web-based crash system is in use by local law enforcement, a model tribal-specific collection plan will be presented to tribal officials and law enforcement for consideration.
Data-Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety
Data-Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS) is a law enforcement operational model that integrates location-based crime data with traffic crash data to determine the most effective methods for deploying law enforcement and other resources. Drawing on the deterrent value of highly visible traffic enforcement and the knowledge that crimes often involve motor vehicles, the goal of DDACTS is to reduce crime, crashes, and traffic violations across the country.

It would be a lot easier to understand why Logan Morrison was demoted by the Florida Marlins if a) he currently didn't have the second highest weighted on base average on the Major League team or b) the Florida Marlins weren't the Florida Marlins.
Right or wrong, and social media darlings are almost always seen as right in the public eye, Logan Morrison was sent down to Triple A after Saturday night's game against the San Francisco Giants. After an impressive start to the season, Morrison had struggled in July following the firing of John Mallee, the Marlins hitting coach and mentor figure to Morrison and several other young Marlins.
However, no one believes that the demotion has as much to do with Morrison's on field play as much as it does his off field relationships with management. In addition to his spat over the Mallee firing, Morrison has been reprimanded for his use of Twitter, spoken negatively about Marlins' cornerstone Hanley Ramirez, and most recently, failed to attend a meet and greet with season ticket holders after being delayed earlier in the day by a poorly run team function.
The story goes that Morrison asked the team's union representative Wes Helms, who was also released on the same day, if he was under any obligation to go to the event. When Helms said no, Morrison apologized on Twitter and didn't attend.
And now, Morrison will once again consult the players union, this time in a more direct way, to see if he has any grounds for filing a grievance against the organization for sending him down to Triple A New Orleans.
According to Morrison's agent, Fred Wray:
We are going to, with absolute certainty, explore this and contact the union and make sure Logan's rights are protected. It doesn't seem like everything adds up here.
According to Marlins President Larry Beinfest:
I'm not going to get into any specific incidents. I'm sure Logan has his view of things and the organization has their own view of things. He just needs to concentrate on baseball and all aspects of being a major leaguer.
According to Marlins manager Jack McKeon:
If there is a message, it's, "Don't get comfortable." Don't think you have it made. You have to work at this game. Too many young guys think they have it made, are darlings of the media, run their mouth. Tend to your business, get better at your craft. The record books are full of one and two year phenoms. Don't believe me? Look it up.
Finally, according to Morrison:
I don't know if that makes any sense to me or you guys, but all I know is I go out and give everything for this team. I play hurt, play through injury and this is how you get treated. It doesn't seem very fair or right to me.
It's easy to get caught up in liking Morrison. He's vocal, fun and full of personality in a game that far too often has its main attractions trained to spit out nothing more than cliches to its adoring public. However, no matter what problems he may have with the way things are being run, Morrison still works for an organization. And as I wrote at the beginning of this post, if that organization was any team other than the Florida Marlins, it would be far easier to side with the club on this issue. I mean, after all, Morrison publicly disparaged the team's best player.
The problem is that the Florida Marlins are often seen as a franchise that's more interested in turning a profit than winning games. Being owned by patronizing douche Jeffrey Loria and attempting backwater stunts like attempting to ban its players from using Twitter, certainly don't help the organization's reputation.
In summary, I think it's safe to put things this way:
The Good – Logan Morrison.
The Bad – Larry Beinfest.
The Ugly – Puppet master Jeffrey Loria.
And The Rest
Atlanta Braves second baseman Dan Uggla had his hitting streak put to an end yesterday after 33 straight games with at least a single. Sadly for Uggla, this play happened to him.
But April 1st is more than seven months away. I don't understand.

Of course matching dice would be nice. I assumed it would be easy to find them cheaply.
- #12
Keep in mind that the reason we didn't include the matching "fronts" to go with the T's is that we didn't have any! These were purchased from the estate of a well-known (in some circles) dice maker from Michigan.
We didn't have the option of ordering or sourcing any matching fronts because the maker has passed away. These dice are primarily being sold as a piece of history and as a conversation starter - nothing more.
If you own a set, you own something special, whether you know it or not.

MemberI have my Gaff Dice on order, just waiting for shipment. Patiently, I should add, as I know it's a super busy time for them. I'm REALLY hoping for my dice to come in red, but I'll post up a review when I get them.
I'm curious if anyone would be interested in trading dice around to get the colors they wanted. ie, I get green but wanted red and you have red but wanted green, we would trade (via ups). - #15

MemberGot my dice today. Very nice. My only issue with them is that the ones I got are considerably smaller than standard casino dice (at least the few that I have anyway). My friend also got a pair and his ones are the same size as casino dice.
- #17
There is no such thing as "standard" casino dice. Some are more popular than others, but you can find at least 3 different sizes on craps tables here in Las Vegas.
It sounds like you got one of the pairs of 11/16ths tops (as opposed to the more common 3/4" ones). I can assure you that 11/16ths dice have been used in casinos (both legal and illegal) before.

Join pyromaniac stickmen, Angry and Clueless, as they attempt to blow up anything and everything that they can get their hands on including themselves….
Stickmen Angry and Clueless have been blowing things up for quite a while now and they thought it was about time they let the world know what exactly they have been doing. You see, these two stickmen have blown up, shot, or detonated just about everything from entire cities to aliens to each other and they figured you wanted to now about it. The following is part of a conversation Angry had with the developer:
"Why did you want me to make this game." "We thought it was only logical to let the world know of the things I, I mean me and Clueless, have been doing over the past few years. I know I wouldn't keep something this special from my friend Clueless unless of course I knew it could hurt him, because that's my job and… and YOU CAN'T DO IT! HOW DARE YOU THINK THAT. YOU'RE GOING TO REGET YOU HAD THAT THOUGHT."
"Help me! Please! Somebody…."
Just in case you were wondering this is not a true story.

Parent COMMENT
- Thank you for all the wonderful opportunities you have given our son in your medical pathway program. He has had an interest in the medical field for a very long time, but being in your class definitely reinforced his decision. The labs, job shadows, guest speakers, and most of all his future internship at Scripps are some of the greatest learning opportunities. He loves to share each new thing he learns and gets to experience with such enthusiasm.
Industry Partner Comment
- Our experience is that high schools that have HASPI involvement are much more professional, students are more prepared for the internship, they work more collaboratively, and there is more pride to be involved.
STudent Comment
- My family warned me that this would be the best class ever...and dang they were right.

LaRok's Original Founders Launch Effortlessly Cool Label Ace & Jig
Where to Buy It: Steven Alan, Honey in The Rough, Planet Blue, Blue and Cream
Prices: $100 to $260
Why We Love It: Simple in its conception--the entire collection is loosely based on just one unique machine washable yarn-dye cotton-linen fabric that they have hand-loomed in India by an ethical factory--the clothes are also pretty seasonless. They're pieces you could layer over a turtleneck and tights in winter or a bikini in summer and look forever chic (When does a striped shirt go out of style? Never.)Our Favorite Pieces: The Baja Hoodie ($200, above left) is Lucky creative director Andrea Linett's fave (it's on her Babble page in the current August issue); the day dress ($180, above right) and scout shirt ($150, below left) are additional musts.
What's with All the Spam in the Comments Section?
We're sure that you've noticed the flood of spam in the comments section lately. Spammers beware--we are completely on top of it. As we figure out a way to put a stop to this madness, we ask you for your patience and that you don't stop leaving your own comments, because we love hearing from you!

I am the owner of a Kenmore Progressive vacuum. In the past, I have bought several vacuums to use in our home. One of them was a bag less style that was very popular and affordable. It worked well at first but seemed to lose its suction even after emptying the canister and when it broke, I found that the company was no longer around! There were others...I finally decided to spend a little more $ and bought my first Progressive using the Hepa cloth bags. It is an amazing product that i totally believe in! The bags, even if full, don't emit dust into the air when running or changing. They've made a huge difference in my daughters allergies and howuch dusting I have to do! LOVE IT!!!

Shopping Guide
Shopping in Ho Chi Minh City
You may be said to have never visited Ho Chi Minh City if you haven't shopped around in this biggest commercial area of Vietnam. Rightfully so! Ho Chi Minh City (also called Saigon) is Vietnam's shopping hub, where you can buy almost everything on earth, from life's bare necessities to the most luxurious products, from authentic Vietnamese origin to most well – known international brands. But the interesting thing is not just the what, it' also the where and the how.
Most popular shopping sites in Saigon are long established traditional markets with famous names like Ben Thanh, Binh Tay, An Dong, Tan Dinh, Saigon Square, Dan Sinh. Just wandering along arrays of stalls there, you stand a great chance of stocking up all sorts of things at very affordable prices. Especially, if you are a fashion afictionado, you could dress yourself up from head to toe with merely several hundreds of thousand dong in hand. The key is to be a vigilant bargain hunter and feel free to give yourself a hefty discount off the first price shopclerks tell you.
If you feel for a modern and luxurious shopping atmosphere, Saigon offers a long list of commercial centers led by Diamond Plaza, Zen Plaza, Parkson, Superbowl, Thuong xa Tax, Co-op mart and so on. Luckily enough, you may set off right in the middle of the City grand "sale – off" season. Then you could own classy, well - branded products at slashed prices , of course, with no need to haggle.
Last but not least, there are some streets in Saigon which are specially good for shopping certain products. For example, if you are scouring for a mobile phone, then go straight to February 3rd Street ( 3 Thang 2). Likewise, remember to drop by Nguyen Oanh, Nguyen Kiem streets for clocks and watches, Le Loi street for any hardware items , or scores of shops around District 1 for lacquerware, just to name a few.

When we think of out of the home advertising, the first thing that comes to mind are billboards or ads on buses or benches, however, this is no longer the case. Some out of the home advertising ideas to jump on now include using bulletin holders with custom printed inserts—and these can be used for many purposes.
Interruption Advertising
Indoor signage is an excellent out of the home advertising idea as they are what marketing experts call a form of "interruption advertising." Why interruption? Remember the last time you were at an airport security check in? You probably noticed the many bulletin holders full of instructional information on what's allowed and what's not allowed to pass through security check points. Airports also use these holders to inform the public about the TSA with globally recognized symbols and QR (quick response) codes where smartphone users scan these codes to learn more about airport safety.
When placed in high traffic areas, bulletin holders grab the attention of passers-by—a graphic interruption they can't help but notice. The Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA) offers that 95 percent of people surveyed said they remembered graphics on signage so using bulletin holders to showcase, guide or announce just about anything are a smart, reusable and durable ad solution.
Types and Uses
Single, two-tier and three-tier bulletin holder poster stands provide easy solutions for mall retailers to display store wide sale information. They can also welcome and inform the consumer into restaurants and hotels. Their ability to provide important information to conference or event attendees is by far the best way to get your message or direction across.
Trade show exhibitors utilize bulletin holders as enhancements to their booth space. Boutiques and shops find these useful as a way to welcome, showcase products and for brand building. Restaurants can invite the hungry in with mouth-watering food images.
With custom graphic inserts, a promotional product to push inventory becomes easy and when the promo is over or the product is sold out, bulletin holders make it easy for retailers to switch out inserts to advertise the next big item. They are eye-grabbing, attention-getters that are more affordable and noticeable than traditional forms of advertising such as radio, TV or newspaper ads.
At a crowded event, they help consumers find you or, at more intimate events, they showcase messages, products or services—the uses are endless.
Holders with Pizzazz
Bulletin holders are one of our top sellers at Metropolitan Design and now, the accessories we provide to create stunning holders makes advertising easier than ever. Accessories include:
Printed Inserts – We can use your artwork or help you create a design that will grab the viewer's attention for any size or type of bulletin holder.
Clear Overlays – Protect your custom inserts—great for long-term promotional or informational announcements.
Wire and Acrylic Brochure Holders – Once the bulletin grabs their attention, with attachable brochure holders, consumers can quickly grab featured-packed brochures to take with them.
Our customers are raving about the many uses this out of the home advertising idea can do and with prices that won't break their advertising budget.
We invite you to browse through our many bulletin holders and accessories and also learn how easy it is to order custom artwork or upload your artwork and then gain an edge in the out of the home advertising world.
In today's competitive world of grabbing the customer's attention, bulletin holders and the interruption marketing they offer do get noticed and we make it easy to get started!

Patch, sounds
Sorry but, why are the street sounds different, then the other ones form 8.5.3 not to mention that all my foot step sounds in my map are gone. How do I get around this, do I need to zip the old (INF_Mapping.u) file in with my map. The old street sounds were prefect for marble floors? If they were going to change the sound, it could have been added as a new sound instead of changing the original. Doses that mean that every map out there will now have a different sound then what to author wanted? Just opened up Azteca, and the sounds on the steps are different now, ...nice notice!

If you want a texture to use a different sound than the original you will have to export it then reimport it into your own custom texture pack. By doing what you did and just changing it then saving it you overwrote the old texture pack which means if you try to play online you'll get a version mismatch and it would let you join.

No, I didnt change the original, I exported the texture, and then imported it Into the MyLevel PK with a different name: then I applied the sound to my new imported texture. I already knew about that.
The problem is: you dont provide a sound for the community, and then go changing it, now every map out there has a different sound then what the author wanted. Sounds are the mood or the feeling of a map, Its like taking an instrument away from a song. I would have to guess that the reason who ever it was that changed the sounds (street_1), 2, and 3 , is probably because they didnt resemble real street sounds close enough. Thats fine, But who ever it was could have at lease keep the original and renamed the sound files. There was a sound that had very marble like sound that made a click when you walked across it, (Very cool sounding) now it is not even in the pack. It was a common sense move, and not the wisest. Including my own sounds is not a problem, It becomes a problem when you submit your map on the net, and then a new version comes out and..Well you get what Im saying. "I guess Im going to have to include my own sounds, because I cant be sure if they will be there in the morning." Last edited by Starstreams; 27th May 2001 at 10:09 AM. |

Oh I see what you mean. Nevermind what I said I misunderstood

Hey Starstreams, you're the "Mike" that emailed me about footstep sounds, right?
Well let me respond in this thread then. To add a footstep sound to a texture imported into "MyLevel", you do as you do w/ any costum pack you're creating. First go to the sound browser, bring up the INF footstep sounds, select the one you want. Then go back to the texture browser, bring up your "MyLevel" pack, right-click on your imported texture, select "edit properties" (or something to that effect). This brings up the settings for that texture. Down the list a little you'll see a setting for footstep sounds. Open it up, & hit the "use" button there. It should add in the INF footstep sound you selected in the sounds browser. Hope that helps. As for the changed footstep sounds in 2.85.5, all they did was modify the sound for combat boots on concrete/hard surfaces. It still sounds like you're walking on concrete/cement/pavement, only more realistic (I think). So I'm pretty happy w/ the change myself. That old sound made you feel like you were wearing dress shoes or something... |

Hello Alpha_9
Yes that is what I did, so that is no problem. I do agree that the new concrete sound doses sound more like real concrete, however the original sound would have been a perfect candidate for a marble floor, it had a unique sound, (Click..click type of sound) I would think that they would have renamed it, instead of just throwing it out. No big deal, I was able to get the old sound by temporally reinstalling 2.85.3 exported and renamed it and put it into my own custom pack. Its probably better that I make my own pack anyway incase any other updates come about. Thanks |
27th May 2001, 09:33 PM | #7 |
Well I am confused SS, Are you able to hear your NEW sound, I would be very surprised if you can.. !
I was under the possible misapprehension that all the sounds were hard coded into the Inf_Mapping.U file. The reason I say this is because you give a wooded floor the "Wood1" sounds and it plays "Wood?" where ? is 1,2 or 3 so you get a random woody sound. So if you added a sound package which contained Marble1, 2 & 3 what logic would play your sound if it is NOT one the code knows about... ?
B'stard'O |
27th May 2001, 10:29 PM | #8 |
I know what your saying, because the first time I tried it, the sound just got reverted back to the new one, so It was a no go the first attempt.
Yes in fact the sound doses play. After I uninstalled 2.85.5, I went into the old U pack, and exported it as a wav, giving it a new name right off the bat. Then after re-installing the 2.85.5 again, I imported it into my own pack. I acutely have the old sounds, (The ones that I like) if you would like them to see what I mean. They are about 1 mb. I only took (Street 1), and (Street 2) Mike. |

An innovative iteration to a truly revolutionary shoe. The Vivobarefoot Ultra 2 is a shoe that has evolved into a truly diverse and adaptive option, ideal for a multitude of terrains and actions. Staying true to its amphibious roots the Ultra 2 is still the ultimate choice for watersport activities.
Style code: 200047-01
The ULTRA II changes everything…again! Now with the PRO-5 puncture-resistant sole built into the dual injected construction, offering you maximum protection at all times. Unlike the previous ULTRA I, the new construction of the ULTRA ensures any previous issues are now a thing of the past! The new and improved tongue design gives you a smooth, naked fit, allowing you to move freely. Now with the addition of the rubber lugs to the sole, the shoe can be taken off the beach, and onto the rocks and paths, letting you experience and enjoy your environment as nature the intended. The new design does not require a further insole as with the previous ULTRA, the added neoprene sock is a thing of the past- it's just you and the shoe!
The innovative and efficient new design gives durability, comfort, and flexibility where it's needed, pushing the boundaries of footwear function with its unparalleled concept. It's a lightweight, ultra-thin, flexible and completely amphibious shoe that is also brilliantly robust, great looking, and Ultra barefoot.
The ULTRA has a zero heel-to-toe drop and is also wider than conventional shoes for a very good reason – they let your arch and toes load, splay and recoil as if you were barefoot and allow your feet to provide natural shock absorption. The zero drop also ensures you are able to achieve a natural posture – like you can when you're barefoot. Natural sensory feedback provides the brain with all the information it needs to tell the feet and body how to move – it's a continuous loop between brain and body and essential for skilful movement.
Sun, sea and sand.
The perfect companion for your feet on the beach, river or lakeside.
As well as scuba diving, rock hopping, hiking, beachcombing, shopping, and napping, to name a few activities!
Canoeing and kayaking and taking on your trip down the Amazon.
Boating shoes - Ay ay captain, the Ultra an excellent choice for sailors who need not worry about getting their feet wet.
Squatting, running, jumping, living! The gym and indoor training.
The perforated upper lets you sweat in style.
If your gym won't let you go fully barefoot you can wear the Ultra and they'll never know how close you are to barefoot.
A short break or an extended trip.
The lightweight Ultra is a perfect travel companion that can be easily stuffed away in your bag.

Chihuahua Chinese Crested mix dogs are also known as a Chi-Chi.
Chihuahuas are known for being the world's smallest dog breed with a very big heart (not literally!) and an even bigger personality so already you are off to a winner with a Chihuahua cross dog.
Some descriptive words used to describe Chihuahuas include; feisty, affectionate, self confident, bold, brave and cuddly, not all in that order.
While it is not easy to predict the size, coat or temperament of a mixed breed dog, you can get a reasonable idea by finding out about the characteristics of both breeds.
With the new label 'Designer Dogs' making crosses very popular it is still very important you adopt a puppy from a responsible breeder or better still a rescue centre.

There are only 44 days until the November 6 election. Both mayoral candidates and all six City Council candidates sat down Wednesday to participate in a debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters. Questions covered a range of subjects, such as their stances on infrastructure, tourism, and taxes.
Thirty percent rule
As the city's litigation with several Winona homeowners continues, the 30 percent rule remains a hot button issue. The forum opened with a question reminding candidates of the current legal standing and asking if they would support placing a limit on the amount of tax money the city could spend on legal fees defending the rule.
First Ward candidate Chris Sanchez said he would support placing a limit on the amount of money the city should spend on legal fees and said the rule is in place to protect community infrastructure and keep families in homes.
At-large candidate Paul Double agreed, saying anytime the city places legislation into city code, they must enforce and defend it. Accepting legal responsibility is part of the job and I think when you write the rules, you write them right and then you defend them, Double said.
Mayoral candidate Mark Peterson said he wasnt sure how the city could limit the spending but said he believes defending the rule is what is best for the community.
Ive been hearing a lot of feedback from citizens and I know its being challenged in court, but I think enacting it was the right thing to do, Peterson said. I think it was done in a good faith effort and is trying to solve a problem. I think its working.
Third Ward candidate Pamela Eyden expressed her reluctance to comment and said she would have to know more about the legal proceedings.
Third Ward candidate Don Salyards and At-large candidate Gabe Vargas said they were in favor of the rule.
At the request of Winona City Attorney Chris Hood, both mayoral candidate George Borzyskowski and and First Ward candidate Al Thurley declined to comment on the issue.
Highway 43 bridge plans
It has been a month since the Minnesota Department of Transportation officially announced that Winona would be getting a new bridge that will be built parallel with the existing bridge. Even though construction isnt slated to begin until 2015, conceptual plans suggest businesses in the path of the new bridge may be demolished or moved. Concerns about displaced business was expressed and all candidates agreed to do whatever is in their power to help those displaced.
We need to be there to support those businesses and help them find a new location if they chose to do so, Vargas said. Anytime Winona loses jobs, Winona loses as a whole. We need to be there to assist them in finding new locations.
Borzyskowski and Thurley both suggested that the businesses work with the Community Development Department to create a plan of relocation, if a business is affected by the new bridge.
Its also important to understand that Winona depends on that bridge and the plans appear to be moving forward, Double said. We are the second largest port in the state of Minnesota, and we need to recognize that this bridge is an integral part of this community.
Highway 61 upgrades
A section of Highway 61 near Gilmore Avenue has recently been labeled a high collision area, and concerned citizens are asking Minnesota Department of Transportation officials to fix it. Just last week, three plans were revealed that address the problem areas. While the options are just that, options, all candidates agreed the intersection needs to be fixed.
Thurley and Borzyskowski both agreed that the third option erect a new traffic signal at what is referred to as No Name Drive, and rerouting all movements to that intersection is the best option.
Sanchez and Eyden said they needed to study the options closer, but agreed the intersection is hazardous and needs to be upgraded.
This intersection is really a mess. Its just a huge problem, Peterson said. Im really pleased that Mn/DOT is finally going to put a plan forward. Its long overdue.
Top Issues
Each candidate had a different issue at the top of a to do list. Whether cleaning up Levee Park, updating downtown, or promoting tourism, answers varied among candidates.
One of the first issues I would investigate is the frac sand moratorium and the study of all the issues, Eyden said. I believe we need to carefully consider the impact that it has on tourism, health and safety of our community.
Double said revamping downtown is at the top of his list and said it is strongly related to the tourist draw of Winona.
Winona is uniquely identifiable and I really think there needs to be a community forum and input to move this project forward, Double said. We have a lot of very confident people in the community drawing up decent plans, and we need to be creative and do it right.
Salyards and Peterson both agreed that Levee Park is their main concern. Salyards said he has an individual in mind who is willing to put money into the project but declined to say who.
We need to make Levee Park the pride of this community, Peterson said. I believe right now the park is an eyesore and its underutilized. It is some of the best real estate we have in Winona, and we need to make it an asset to be proud of.
Borzyskowski and Vargas said working together to better the citys infrastructure was at the top of their lists.
Thurley said moratorium and bridge issues are on his radar, and Sanchez said building good rapport with citizens and city staff is key.
We all need to work together because every issue is equally important, Sanchez said.
Mayoral candidates
Mark Peterson has been the Executive Director of the Winona County Historical Society for 30 years and currently serves on the Winona Heritage Preservation Commission.
George Borzyskowski has worked at Peerless Chain for 38 years and currently serves as the City Council Fourth Ward representative.

Online review sites can be controversial, especially among restaurateurs, but their impact is unquestionable – as is their momentum. For better or worse, consumer-generated reviews are now part of the restaurant landscape.
While a June 2011 Forrester Research study determined that, over the prior year, consumers had increased their use of social channels to provide feedback about poor experiences by 50%, the reality is that the majority of online reviews are positive. (80% of Yelp reviews are three stars or more.) The key to coping with and benefiting from the new customer feedback paradigm is understanding that even negative reviews have a positive side – if kept in perspective and addressed properly. They can provide valuable feedback along with opportunities to nurture a relationship with customers who are engaged enough to post their opinions.
Luther Lowe, director, business outreach, Yelp, advises restaurateurs not to overreact to the idea that these opinions are out there for all the world to see. "I understand that negative reviews can create emotional pain for restaurateurs, but customers look at this differently. They aren't necessarily reading every single line of every review. More often than not, they give the feedback a glance and make a transactional decision." And he reminds restaurateurs that reviewers size each other up just as they do businesses and may decide not to take someone too seriously. "The way that Yelp is built, users create a lot of information about themselves. You can click on negative reviews and learn about the reviewers, some of whom are negative most of the time." Interestingly, it appears that the presence of negative reviews may give credence to the others. Recent studies have concluded that bad reviews give consumers a reason to believe good ones, and, that in some instances, negative information can accentuate positive information.
"Reviews will ultimately tell you something you need to know, so look for patterns and use the feedback to learn about the expectations of your customers – all the while using your instincts, just like in the offline world. There are people who are never going to be happy, and you know who they are." – Randy Kirk, president, Randy Kirk & Associates
Luther suggests focusing on what will have the most impact. "It goes without saying that business owners should pay attention to the feedback, but they shouldn't worry about reviews too much. Say you have 10 reviews and 200 people visiting your business page…it's those folks you should show that you are tuned into customer service. In fact, we consider the most important metric to be how many are looking at your business listing. That's how they're learning about your business."
Negative reviews also provide opportunities to connect to reviewers and to demonstrate to the community that you care. (Major review sites offer business owners the opportunity to respond, publicly and/or privately.) Matt McGee, owner, Small Business Search Marketing, adds, "Responding is an opportunity to fix things and invite reviewers back, which can drive repeat business, but also keep in mind that your responses ultimately exist for future customers."
There are varying opinions about the importance of responding to positive reviews. Andrew Allison, co-founder/ceo, Main Street Hub, says that they do so on behalf of their clients. "These are fans of your business – they enjoyed their experiences and took the time to spread the word. At the very least, they deserve a thank you. We have seen so many reviewers say they appreciate the recognition and because there are so many tools available, it's almost becoming an expectation." Luther believes that because most small business owners already have enough on their hands, "In terms of time management, the most effective use of time is to prioritize the negative reviews."
When responses should be public vs. private also draws some debate among experts. "A public response shows future customers that you're interested in getting feedback and fixing what went wrong," says Matt. "But if there's something serious – like an accusation a waiter/waitress was behaving inappropriately toward a customer – a good strategy would be a public response to thank the person for speaking up and invite him/her to get in touch directly rather than sharing details online. But if you try to sweep everything offline and never respond publicly to any reviews, it looks really bad – like you're either ignoring your customers or you're hiding something."
"It's never easy when someone criticizes your life's work – but how you react emotionally should be different than how you react online." – Andrew Allison, co-founder/ceo, Main Street Hub
"We suggest responses are handled privately in almost every case," counters Andrew. There are certain instances where a public response is appropriate; if a review contains a factual error – you're closed on Saturday when you're not, no vegetarian options but you offer them – it's very important to set the record straight publicly. At least the process begins that way. A private response to a positive review shows that it's not about PR, it's about starting a relationship. A public response to a negative review can seem like the beginning of a battle in the court of public opinion. It can stop a real conversation before it starts." Luther offers Yelp's perspective. "What I'd recommend to business owners losing sleep over a negative review is to first write a private response. Especially in cases where there are factual errors, you want to gently set the record straight, indicate that they may have made a mistake. If after two to three days, the reviewer hasn't posted a correction or responded, then feel free to correct them publicly – politely, diplomatically, and succinctly address the inaccuracies. By the time you get to a public response, you are upping the ante, but in those cases you are no longer speaking to that person as much as you are speaking to others who will come to your listing."
All agree that when responding to complaints, it's essential to take the high road – no matter how frustrating it may be or how much the review feels like an attack – because responding defensively can reflect poorly on you and your business and risks making the situation worse. "Tens of millions of diners rely on customer review websites to choose places to eat," says Andrew. "Being angry is often understandable, but every restaurateur needs to know that his or her reaction will be online for all the world to see. In those situations, we notice that responding to a negative review in a polite way makes the restaurateur look better."
"This is all emotionally charged," agrees Randy Kirk, president, Randy Kirk & Associates. "Don't be defensive or combative; the best first step is to be conciliatory. It's important that you communicate you get it, that you understand. The key is you don't ever want to not take someone seriously." Matt advises restaurateurs to "respond to negative comments with sincerity and transparency. Apologize for the incident. Explain how it happened, why it's not the normal way you treat customers, how you're working to ensure it never happens again. A good response takes ownership of the issue, makes a promise, and fixes it."
"Responding to reviews should be aimed at developing relationships with reviewers and turning situations around, as well as demonstrating that customers' experiences are important to you," advises Andrew. "It's easy to lose sight but there's a big picture here. Ultimately, it's about growing your business."

In its first outing in 1997, James Cameron's "Titanic" won 11 Oscars. This time, the director, who's set a gold standard in 3D films, seeks to win over a whole new audience with a story that works, and a genre he knows is a winner.
Releasing in theatres across India today in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, "Titanic"'s 3D release is a commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the ship's sinking.
On the eve of the Fox Star Studios film's re-release, Cameron says, "The 3D conversion kicks the experience up another level, enriching all of the film's most thrilling and moments. The thing about the film then and now is that it has something for people of all ages. This film's my baby, so I really wanted to roll up my sleeves and get involved in every step of the conversion. To offer the film in this new form on the 100th anniversary of the sinking made sense."
The film also made Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio household names. Kate explains her attraction to Rose. "She's a very spirited girl," she says, "She has a very open heart. She wants to explore the world but knows that's not going to happen. Then she meets Jack Dawson and an amazing love surfaces."
"Jack's a wandering person," Leo says, "At a young age, he realizes how short life really is, and that's a big factor in who he is as a person." Bollywood is equally kicked. Kareena Kapoor has said, "I'm looking forward to watching it." Bipasha says, "When I first saw "Titanic", I cried so much! Ready to do it again."

Late, Late Night FDL: Stormy Monday |

My thoughts and prayers to all those in harm's way…! Stay Safe…!
What's on your mind tonite…?
.. thought of you CTut .. thru 18″ of snow .. hope all yer folk are well
.. ah .. I wish all the best on you this eve .. an active, lady friend of mine just broke an ankle .. apparently dignity is at stake .. loss of mobility would add a dimension to aging equal to a loss of reason .. *warm smile*****
Aloha, tearloch…! When was the last time that you'd heard of a Tropical Cyclone, or even a Tropical Storm spawning snow in it's wake…? I mean Really…? Quebec, Ohio, Michigan, and West Virginia are expected to see snowfall…! ;-)
I love this song.
I feel so bad for the people living through Sandy. The hell they've been living through for the past 24 hours and it's not over yet. I've been through it and can't imagine what they are going through.
The eye of the storm is on (or was a couple of hours ago) right on D.C.
Tut, did you ever get any tsunami waves on Hilo?
Hi Kids. Wonderful warm day on the left coast. Had a long chat with my sister, who is over on the right coast, and am glad to report that she and her family are weathering this storm well. They have tickets to come out on Thursday…. but with 20,000 (Imagine!) flights canceled, I hope that their tickets are honored. We'll see……..
been there – done that *laughing* i hope your friend has an easy and uneventful recovery tearloch
Eric totally rulz the Universe, Suz…! I saw this toob, as per yer reccomendation, and, I was sold…! ;-)
And thanks to Sandy a cold front has Florida expected to set record cold temps tonight. In the 40s, ferchristsake.
The fuckin' storm stretches from one end of N. America to the other. Even S. Florida is still negatively affected by it.
Aloha, tuez…! How's floridaze tonite…?
I don't see it in the ten day forecasts in that area.
can't go wrong with stormy monday on a stormy monday…. and we all know that tueday's gonna be just as bad (riffing on the lyric)
Aloha, Starbuck…! Hilo Bay experienced a surge of 19 inches above normal, but, the whole Bay did recede enough to strand a bunch of yachts…!
Aloha, Dearie…! Always a pleasure…!
Amazing, isn't it? Sandy took a sharp turn up Chesapeake Bay and slammed into DC.
I wonder what the fundies will make of this…..
Honestly, we all should be in a New York State Of Mind… They're getting hammered…! 8-(
albert and srv also did a great version
Floridaze is cold.
And the dog realized this afternoon this was her kind of weather and, well, I've got a puppy again.
The good news, hubby started his new job today. I'm waiting for him to come home with his "impressions".
Only a category 1 storm at that! Major surge, however. Flooding all around Long Island
steph called tonight and we determined that it has been warmer here than it is at her school. i got up to 73 today and my low last night was 56
The 11 o'clock news showed massive flooding in Manhattan and, evidently, Atlantic City is no more.
no kidding! i heard rumors on the twitter today that this may have killed the rest of the presidential campaign season. no way this is gonna be a quick and easy fix
Sandy is pushing a cold front down this way, that normally would have headed straight east. I guess, since the alternative would be the NE getting hit with massive amounts of snow, and not rain, I'll take it.
I saw a shot of Ground Zero. It has waterfalls!
I wonder if Obama has the ability to cancel the election. I wonder if any government entity can.
Not to mention the fact, unlike New Orleans, there is no way in hell this can get blamed on blacks deserving it. Half the fucking country is from New Jersey. Myself included.
I saw that too.
I'm in Orlando now.
But, Starbuck, Sandy is twice as large as Irene…
I was gonna make a sassy about Chris Christie….. but, you know, he actually was gracious today and credited Obama and FEMA with taking good care of NJ…. so I'll retain my sass for some other time.
And on the opposite side of the country, my SO and I spent the afternoon wandering around Edgefield shooting photos. I fixed her up with a different lens, one with better macro capabilities and her output is marvelous! We're looking at them as I type.
But the nasty people will say that Gawd is punishing Washington DC and the surrounding area for the Affordable Care Act, continued abortions caused by non-intentional rape and a black president.
tis a national tragedy and the only $$$ that matters is what was spent on prevention and preparedness – which was far too little. maybe now we will get some infrastructure funding and some fucking jobs created.
Exactly, but still only Category 1.
Climate change has lots of interesting things in store for us.
It occurred to me that Chris Christie is gonna ride this as far as he can. Not. Good.
*snerk* full moon and all…. and a great tune
Yep. It's a phundie phenomenon.
This time around, I don't think that will fly. All the "serious" people live in NJ and NY. Best I can tell DC wasn't hit that hard.
One map showed the eye right over DC this evening.
NYC!? The phundies hate them some NYC!
*heh* Quebucois, quipped earlier that Montreal smells like Atlantic City…! I wouldn't doubt it…! ;-)
per the weather channel, sandy's eye came ashore near cape may new jersey — in southern new jersey
Let me find the link, but the eye was gone; however the storm pretty much hit Atlantic city head on.
*sigh* I know I shouldn't think it, but…! ;-)
I would like to say, even though I'm kinda biased, having grown up in Jersey. NJ has some of the best beaches in the world. And I've lived in NC and Florida since, so there. I'm heartbroken over what is happening at the shore in Jersey.
NJ has some pretty wonderful forests, too. I really like it there.
*heh* That incestuous Cesspool needs a good flushing, imho, K street most especially…! ;-)
Hey, y'all.
There was a great liveblog of NYC/Sandy over at dKos, but they said their servers were in NYC, now the site is gone.
Huffpo has some interesting shots.
Manhattan with water up to the hoods of cars.
The subway entrances had sheets of plywood and sandbags around them. Not going to stop the ocean from coming in.
Four feet of water in one tunnel. I don't see how they don't all flood. They must have pumps, but not enough to hold back the sea.
13 foot storm surge.
Millions without power – some of these people never keep more than a day's food on hand.
Give me the West Coast. Take you to the Opal Creek watershed and blow your mind!
Sandy at 952 mb. That would be one heck of a hurricane, but this is some new kind of storm. Lots of energy, not a conventional hurricane/cyclone.
OK, then the eye didn't hit DC.
Where is that? I live on the American River. Used to live in the Bay Area.
The eye isn't the key to this storm like a hurricane – it's blasting everything for hundreds of miles. Lots of energy.
Yup, there's a hurricane buried in there, somewhere.
Yes, I know, but it was too satisfying a thought. Symbolic and all that.
It almost looks like a double eye on that photo.
.. nothing to say but *** hug ***** ../s
It's up here in Oregon east of Salem in the Willamette National Forest.
that's a great forking video nahant
For that, I would learn to fly!
I second that motion! Maybe in my next life I will fly with falcons.
Dang, nahant, that blew up my piddley-ass screen…! ;-)
.. as an elderly man .. who lives according to the "Desiderata" .. who cares for the less fortunate .. a down syndrome man and his buddy, a schizophrenic .. who share s healthcare with them here in Canada ..

I love wunderground. Have been following this blog at night.
Best of luck, tearloch…! ;-)
I would say, tearloch, that you'd fight a $5 Billion dollar undersea electric cable,(Like I am) just as much as Keystone XL's ridiculous bluff to send the tarsands to BC…!
I can remember it snowing either during the eye of a hurricane or right after it passed over. It didn't last long. I think it was Hurricane Betsy.
The Better Half was just reflecting back on Betsy, and she remembers some snow falling in the Leominster-Fitchburg area…! ;-)

It is the gif of the NY Mayor's ASL interpreter.
I took a year of ASL because I thought it looked cool.
Tried to meet a deaf girl with the language skills of a 5 year old. "You pretty face. Me like you pretty face. My name is Spocko." Awkward.
…"You pretty face. Me like you pretty face. My name is Spocko."
Aloha, spocko…! I'd learned in Germany that the effort alone was sufficient…! Just ask JFK…! ;-)
I met her on a weekend "no talking" retreat. It was very frustrating because i consider my best skill talking and making jokes. And many of my jokes are based on vocal inflections. So I was really hampered. I could use my face to show emotion but couldn't share it. Then I realized how hard it was for them to communicate.
*heh* I shit you not, I just shared a pic of a store sign from Central CT. saying; 'Thanks to Sandy, We are out of condoms, rolling papers, and beer'…
Good thing I own a bong…! ;-)
I've had the pleasure to work with a lot of deaf denizens, I always found them to be the most deft of observers, spocko…! They read one's entire persona and/or actions…! ;-)
One last tune, for all the beleaguered souls from Sandy… Bridge Over Troubled Water, Central Park … Stay Safe, ya'll…! *g*
Aloha Oe…!

Hanover School Division maintains strict catchment areas in order to ensure a balanced enrollment across the division and the viability of all schools.
School age children living with a parent or legal guardian have the right to attend the designated school in the catchment area where their parent(s) or guardian(s) reside.
The Steinbach Regional Secondary School is considered the designated high school for Grade 10 - 12 students from New Bothwell, Blumenort, Kleefeld and Mitchell. Grunthal, Niverville and Landmark students attend high school in their home communities.
Schools of Choice Regulations: Any exception to catchment must be made through application for School of Choice.
This application must be made by May 15, for the next school year. Exceptions will only be made if space permits.
A student that moves to a new catchment area within HSD during the school year may be allowed to finish the year as a temporary School of Choice student. In no case will transportation be provided for School of Choice students.
Students moving outside of HSD must transfer to their new school division when they move.op Down M

That didn't take long. To follow up on my previous post, here's an email announcement from Tony:
I am pleased to share with you that I will be returning to the airwaves on Monday, January 28, 2013 in a new time slot on a new station here in the Detroit market. The show is being rebranded as Night Shift and will air Monday through Friday evening from 7-10 p.m. On 1130 AM WDFN. WDFN is a 50,000 Watt station, having a much greater reach than WDTW did.
I are also pleased to announce that we are also in the process of syndicating the show statewide and although that may take some time to achieve, we have had positive feedback from a few markets, including Grand Rapids and Muskegon, among others. More details on that soon.
In the meantime, I am anxious to get back to work, and God knows there is plenty of work to do.
It is my hope that this new incarnation for the show will be much deeper in intensity and will be hard hitting and in and of itself make news on a daily basis.
Here's to our shared success and a bright and profound 2013!
And that's just awesome! Woo hoo!! Spirit fingers!

Thai Chicken Satay with Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce
I can totally get behind a beef satay—thinly sliced, marinated flank steak becomes incredibly delicious when well seared over a scorching fire—unfortunately I can't say the same for chicken satay. Sure, the components of the marinade are more noticeable on chicken, but it's the lack of flavor and fat in the meat itself that makes it comparatively flavorless and, all too often, dry. So I approached making this Thai chicken satay with some low expectations, but luckily the final product left me pleasantly surprised.

IBM scoops national broadband deal
PUBLISHED: 29 Mar 2011 10:27:00 | UPDATED: 30 Mar 2011 02:37:51PUBLISHED: 30 Mar 2011 PRINT EDITION: 30 Mar 2011Paul Smith
NBN Co has appointed IBM as the prime systems integrator of its operational and business support systems as part of a three-year deal worth $200 million. The technology giant will implement and manage the national broadband network's core technology systems.
The systems will be used by NBN Co to monitor the performance of its network and bill retail service providers (RSPs) for the services they order and operate.
In a statement, NBN Co said the systems would also be used by RSPs to order new services, report faults or perform service qualification checks.
As prime systems integrator, IBM will provide consulting services, integration, application support services and software. "We need robust and highly automated core business and operational support systems with extensive self-service capabilities in order to sell services efficiently to service providers that resell them to households and businesses," NBN Co chief executive Mike Quigley said.
He said IBM's global experience managing complex projects had helped win them the deal.
IBM said the work would be broken up into five key components termed fulfilment, assurance, resource management, billing and integration and business to business. A four-stage project had already commenced.
Trumpeting the deal, the general manager of IBM's NBN business, David Murray, said the company had been through an exhaustive tender process before winning the business.
At least 80 companies responded to NBN Co's initial request for proposals before a shortlist was drawn up.
IBM will bring on board five of those companies to work as sub-contractors in support roles. These include big-name players Accenture, Alcatel Lucent and BMC, as well as the lesser-known Planwell Technol and Eirtech.
The recently appointed managing director of IBM Australia and New Zealand, Andrew Stevens, said the success of IBM's work would be vital for the NBN. "This is like the central nervous system and brain of the national broadband network," he said.
Mr Stevens replaced Glen Boreham in January. Mr Boreham was subsequently appointed by communications minister Stephen Conroy to chair a convergence review into Australian media regulation.
NBN Co's head of network operation, Steve Christian, said his company needed robust and highly automated systems that would allow the many expected RSPs to self-manage their dealings with the NBN.
Large technology projects were easier for a new company like NBN Co to handle than for businesses that had been building up older technology systems for years, he said.
"This is a unique opportunity to implement these support systems without having to contend with the challenges of legacy systems," he said.

NHL star Mike Fisher's bachelor party got a little bit out of control according to some sources. Fifteen of his closest bros got down and dirty at a Miami club, Mansion. Fisher was well-behaved, nursing cocktails on a couch, but his buddies ... not so much. They were allegedly dancing on the tables and handing out shots to ladies. One of his friends even attempted to urinate in an office next to the bathroom, while another drunkenly asked the waitress if she'd be his date to the wedding. Classy! [NY Post]

Blizzard's post-mortem on Cataclysm dungeons and raids {WoW}
Mar 6th 2012 12:10AM re: Heroic dungeons, I basically felt that this was a very soft interview, as far as how he answered. It feels like he's saying, "Well, we overtuned the difficulty of heroics and made them too long etc.," but "Hey, we gave you the HoT dungeons, and they fit much better into our re-reevaluated idea of how long/difficult a dungeon should be, so that's a success."
I agree with you, Ata. I found myself so frustrated with the new dungeon mechanics at release, particularly as a melee player (and with people in pugs that insisted on playing like it was a Wrath-style aoe-fest), that I left the game for a while. When I eventually came back, I battled through some of those frustrations, but it's been a weird expansion in that regard.
I'll go ahead and concede that this is Blizzard interviewing Blizzard... but to me it's still disappointing to read some of Scott's answers. I think I was expecting, perhaps unrealistically, some more in-depth commentary (about what have been much-discussed issues for this expansion) from the Lead Encounter Designer.

C. Hubert Soccer Complex (NW Cobb Co.) 3412 Cobb Parkway Acworth, GA 30101 field status hot-line: 404-777-9622, option 1 |
This page was updated 02/17/12 |
The O. C. Hubert soccer complex is located in northwest Cobb County. Look for the red asterisk in the center of the map. This is a new Cobb County park which opened in August, 2008. It's in the middle of a booming commercial area, so there's plenty of shopping or eating choices nearby if you're there for a tournament.
from United Quest Park:
Driving time is approximately 30 minutes from United Quest Park. Driving directions:
from Metro North Park:
Driving time is approximately 45 minutes from Metro North Park. Driving directions:
Potential short-cut (requires a short cross-country hike): Turn right into the big shopping center with the Super Target. Head to the back left corner of the shopping center and park along the curb. You'll see the Hubert fields down the hill. You'll have about a 25 yard hike down some uneven hilly terrain covered with weeds before you get to the Hubert playground area, then it's all pavement and stairs from there. The "pros" to this short-cut is that you can take a left turn out of the shopping center back onto US-41 / Cobb Parkway and avoid a potential long queue for a U-turn coming out of Hubert, and you also avoid some bone-jarring speed bumps on the Hubert entry road.

December 2006
6-12 Months
San Francisco, USA
One more paycheck and I'm gone
USA to Fiji
Fiji to NZ
NZ to OZ
OZ to Thailand and SE Asia
Thailand to UK and the rest of Europe
It's something that I've aspired to do for a very long time and the time was just right to finally pull the trigger. I felt like the longer I waited the more likely it'd be that I'd end up in some other pressing commitment that would prevent a trip such as this from ever taking place. Whether it be a girl, a career, or more school holding me at home I knew that something was creeping towards me day by day; something that would prevent me from having an experience that so few ever really experience.
Dying. (hahaha) Honestly, not too much. I really don't know what to expect. I try not to think about aspects of the trip that "scare" me. Obviously it's very important to be mindful of the potential risks associated with a trip of this magnitude, but mostly, I try not to dwell on them.
Yes. Everyone has been wonderful with the exception of a few of my superiors at work who seem dissappointed to see me go. Still, even they seem excited for me and have been supportive of my decision.
Winged it a lot
Backpack. Jeans, light jacket, t-shirts, shorts, hat, 1st aid kit, water bottle, camera(s), soccer ball(deflated) w/pump, sandals, shoes, rock climbing shoes, power adapter, journal, passport/ID, plane tickets, book(s), sunglasses, a small(packable) daypack, a few other small items.
I'd say my camera, passport, plane tickets, and soccer ball are the most indespensible.
Honestly, I don't know. My expectations are simultaneously huge and non-existent. The experience itself is the most important part for me.
A quote from my grandfather years ago. "Never plan ahead, you never know when it will rain."
It is at the moments in our lives when we are the most lost that we find true direction.
It's corny but true.
Dunno, I'll get back to you in a year.
Haven't really done it too much before this, but I guess it's mostly because I want to see and do as much as I possibly can while my ticker is still tickin'.
Go big or go home.
