Aulani March 2013 Excursion Review
Half Day Adventure Tour Kualoa Ranch March 2013
We booked Kualoa Ranch Half Day Adventure Tour through the Disney Aulani website. It was our second favorite activity of the week (first was Pearl Harbor)! You need to have your own transportation for the half day tour. I believe Disney provides it for the full day tour. We had a car, so it wasn't a big deal and it was great to get there early and beat the rush of buses that arrive at about 8:00. Target to arrive around 7:30 am. The excursion says it starts at 8:00. We left our room at Aulani at 6:15, got our car from the ramp and got to the ranch at a little after 7:00. But traffic can be busy during rush hour, especially if there is an accident, and we didn't want to feel stressed. When you get to the ranch, you will see a building with steps that say "visitor center". We sat there at a table waiting for it to open. DH took a walk around to the back of that building, and found the booth open where you could get your wrist bands for the day. So go around to the back of the building right when you get there. They have a cafeteria where you can get breakfast while you wait. Since the first excursions don't start until 8:45 (they have you arrive at 8:00 for sign-ups), we had plenty of time. Behind the ticket booth by about 7:45 they set up tables with clipboards to sign up for excursions. Research what you might want before you go from Kualoa's web site, then split your party up and sign up for specific times. The big advantage of beating the 8:00 am bus rush is that you have more choice of excursion times. Looks like most excursions had 6-12 participants, so even if you are part of a larger tour group, you will have a smaller group experience at the ranch. We started at 8:45 with the Jungle Expedition. It had a canvas roof with roll bar, open sides. It was a lot of fun, and beautiful. Not strenous, just bumpy once in a while. Hour long excursion. Then we went to ATV ride at 10:00. What a blast! We all enjoyed it. We were in a group of six guests plus the guide. Was far more adventurous than the horseback riding that we saw, and we covered a lot more area because we could go faster. We were going 10 miles an hour most of the time. We went up, down, figure 8s, through mud puddles, very fun! Guide was wonderful. We saw areas where they filmed Dupree, Lost, Godzilla, etc. Only nervous part was when we had to get to the side of the road to let an ambulance go by, something happened with an ATV rider. Not sure what it was, I felt the ATVs and our helmets were very safe. Perhas an unrelated medical incident. After the excursion, our half day ticket also came with a buffet lunch. Not at the cafeteria, at a separate building. Catamaran Experience March 2013 We booked Catamaran Experience: Whale Watching (seasonal), Dolphin Spotting, Guided Snorkeling, Musical Entertainment through the Disney Aulani website. The crew was absolutely wonderful. We saw a lot of whales (no dolphins). Only DS20 liked the snorkeling, the rest of us are not snorkeling fans. Nothing to do with the excursion, just not big snorkeling fans. They did see a turtle when snorkeling. The instructions were very thorough and the crew was very diligent. Great they they split into two groups for instructions, one in English and one in Japanese. Note that gratuities are included in the excursion when booking through the Aulani site link. A Disney representative went along (wonderful person!). You leave right from Aulani and get dropped off right at the pier. They had a nice lunch buffet and snacks. Two alcoholic beverages available for over 21, lots of non-alcoholic beverages. All snorkel equipment provided, as well as towels you grabbed when you left Aulani. Manoa Valley Rainforest & Bamboo Forest Hike March 2013 We booked through the Disney Aulani website: Manoa Valley Fainforest & Bamboo Forest Hike They switched this from the afternoon to the morning and when we got there we found out it was because they had so many people they split it into two groups. I was disappointed that we were not given a choice of morning or afternoon group. It rained the entire day. Yes, the entire day, not the spurts of showers that we expected. They provided mud boots and ponchos (as well as a fanny pack, water bottle and trail mix). The trail was muddy and difficult to navigate when slippery. We had someone on the excursion who was very slow and needed a lot of help, which really slowed things down for everyone else, and we ended up 45 minutes late getting back, which meant the next group was late getting started because they were using the same bus. Would we do it again? Definitely. The rain was very unusual. The waterfall was beautiful, and the natural setting and bamboo forest really made me feel like I was seeing a piece of Hawaii. The guides were spectacular. Recommendation: Use the mud boots! It is a rainforest and you will go through muddy areas and streams. Your tennis/hiking shoes will get trashed and you will spend the rest of your vacation drying them out. Recommendation: This is not a stenous hike, but you need to be agile to go up and over things. DH had to help me several times. Also, I am claustrophobic and had difficulty in the bamboo forest where the trails were very narrow. Recommendation: Read the information before you go. The price included gratuitities, which I didn't realize until after I gave them a healthy tip. But they did such a great job with everything, especially taking me ahead of the slower group so I could get through the bamboo forest without stopping all the time like they had to. Recommendation: Go to the bathroom before you go. We waited 15 minutes before we started so that everyone in the group other than the guides and my family could use the portable outhouse at the start of the trail. Some men went into the woods, but it was still a long wait. Pearl Harbor and Ford Island March 2013 We booked this on our own, using advice I picked up from these boards. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the posts people wrote, which really helped make this a great day. We booked the One Day Passport to Pearl Harbor through the www.recreation.gov website recommended on these boards. I really agree with the recommendation to book in advance. I just talked to someone who didn't know they needed to get separate tickets, and ended up not being able to go to the Arizona Memorial. The One Day Passport to Pearl Harbor allows you to visit all four Pearl Harbor Historic Sites and includes admission to: the USS Arizona Memorial with Audio Tour, to the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park, the Battleship Missouri Memorial, and the Pacific Aviation Museum. It is listed as 8:00 am to 5:30 pm passport, and you sign up for a specific time to go to the Arizona Memorial. The front desk at Aulani has these great cards you can pick up with directions to many places you might want to visit, including Pearl Harbor. And then you flip it over and the directions for your return trip are on the back! We used several of these to visit places during our stay, I recommend you pick them up. We left our room at Aulani at about 6:15 and got to Pearl Harbor about 7:00. Gates open at 7:00, so we got in the big line to get into gates. It moves quickly. An advantage of getting there early is that you have better choices for parking. If you have any kind of backpack, you need to put it in a locker. You mgiht be able to go past the line and go to the right to the lockers, then get back in line. I don't know for sure, we didn't have backpacks. When you get through the gate, if you have pre-purchased tickets you can go to the windows on the right side that are marked will call. A gentleman in the big line next to us started pitching a fit that we were jumping the line, but we said we had pre-purchased tickets and that quieted him. There were no lines for will call. I had a printed copy of our email confirmation, and that made it go very quickly. Getting there early was great. We went straight to the Bowfin submarine, and were able to get our headsets and start the tour with no wait. Later in the day, I can imagine the submarine could get very warm, and you can't move quickly if there are a lot of people moving through it. I am claustrophobic, and even in the cool morning air I couldn't go down there, so I waited on top and offered to take group pictures for other touring parties. We then went to through the Pearl Harbor museum, using the audio headsets which came with our tickets. The headsets worked very well, and helped with understanding the history. Our timing worked almost perfectly, we got through almost all of it before our 9:00 ticket time for the Arizona Memorial. Next time, I would book a 9:30 time to make sure we could completely finish the museum tour, which ends right where you go for the start of your Arizona Memorial tour. You can go back to it later it you don't get it done. There is a 12 minute video in the museum, I probably wouldn't watch it again because you get a similar video as part of the Arizona Memorial tour. Please note that they ask you to be at the Arizona Memorial starting place 10 minutes before your ticket time, and they do start instructions then. We appreciated the opportunity for the contemplative and quiet tour of the Arizona Memorial. We finished our audio tour and caught the shuttle to Ford Island. The first stop was the Battleship Missouri Memorial. Before we got on, we stopped and had an early hamburger lunch at the restaurant there. We waited a few minutes for a guided tour of the upper deck (included in the ticket price). We then roamed around the inner parts of the ship for a while. The next shuttle stop was the Pacific Aviation Museum. There are two buildings. Great if you are interested in aviation. My highlight was a veteran volunteer who came up to me at an exhibit and talked about his personal experience at the time. We paid $10 for DS20 to do the virtual flying experience. It was sitting still in a cockpit and then flying, taking off and landing, on a virtual screen in front of you. Like a video game. He was disappointed because the cockpit he sat in didn't spin like at Downtown Disney, but that might be great for others (like me) who don't like that spinning. Ko Olina Coast Sunset Cocktail Cruise March 2013 We booked this through the Disney Aulani website link. Transportation is provided from Aulani. Also picks up from the Marriott next door. The crew was wonderful! I understand that they put their best team on this cruise, because of the relationship with Aulani and Marriott and the cost of the cruise. A wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages were available. Heavy buffet of appetizers and snacks were available. We did see some whales, and obviously, the sunset. We got off to a 20 minute late start, so they delayed our return by that amount of time. It was getting pretty dark! Do not need to dress up for this cruise. Needed to take shoes off and go barefoot. Gratuitites are not included in the price, they have a tip jar and made a fun request to show appreciation. The crew did a wonderful job and really deserved a good tip.

Yes, I am sure they will let you stop, just let them know. We stopped a few places for photos, and we didn't even ask.

Let me add my thanks for taking the time to give such detailed reports.
Following your advice I just went ahead and reserved for our February vacation. I made the USS Arizona tour for 8 AM and THEN reread your post. I was thinking the idea was to get there as early as possible, but now I'm thinking we should get to Pearl Harbor early, but reschedule the USS Arizona tour for a little later. Thoughts? (Coming from New York our circadian rhythms will be all off!!!)
Sleep well tonight, for somewhere in the oceans' depths submariners are protecting our freedom.

Would it be appropriate to take children (ages 9 & 12) on the sunset cocktail cruise, or is it for adults only?
Thank you. |

Our four-part experiential learning program includes--service learning, international travel, a professional internship, classroom experiences, and a Capstone presentation. [Click to learn more about the five key experiences]
This one-of-a-kind core has been developed out of a long tradition of practical, liberal arts education and is focused on producing strong graduates who possess five core competencies that employers and graduate schools look for in their candidates. Our graduates are:
• Critical and Creative Thinkers
• Effective Communicators-Both Written and Oral
• Socially Skilled-Works in a Team, Leads, Negotiates, and Manages
• Technologically Savvy and Computer Literate
• Able to Reason Quantitatively
No matter what you do or where you go in life, these core competencies will support and magnify your success. You'll develop these competencies through structured assignments, classroom participation, and you'll be tested by experience in the real world.
To see the Holy Cross Core requirements, please choose the appropriate link below:
- The Holy Cross Core (for entering freshmen or students with fewer than 24 transferable credits.)
- Transfer Core (for students who enter Holy Cross with 24 or more transferable credits.)
From the first semester of freshman year to the final semester of senior year, students at Holy Cross form a community of learners that participate in the same core curriculum and key experiences and together practice cooperation, communication and leadership to accomplish their goals.

If you're reading this you're likely a fan of the Criterion Collection, which also means as much as you may be interested to know what new titles are coming to the collection in February 2015, if you aren't yet aware, Barnes & Noble is currently having their 50% of Criterion sale right now, click here for more on that. However, if you're already hip to the sale, let's have a look at the new titles that were just announced. The month will begin on February 3 with a new film from Jean-Luc Godard, his 1980 feature Every Man for Himself starring Jacques Dutronc, Nathalie Baye and Isabelle Huppert. It's a film Godard refers to as a second debut and is described as an examination of sexual relationships, in which three protagonists interact in different combinations. The release includes a new high-definition digital restoration, a short video titled Le scenario created by Godard to secure financing for the film, »

Anybody who knows me is already privy to the fact that I am a Full Moon fanatic. Everything from the Empire days to the recent output, I'm a massive fan of Charles Band's always entertaining lineup of films, so this new announcement has me (and hopefully you) smiling from ear to ear. Always one to try new things and to think outside of just releasing films, Band and co. have now announced Full Moon Tunes, a comprehensive, massive library of rare (or previously unavailable) soundtracks to the company's films throughout the years. For both Full Moon fans And soundtrack lovers, this is quite the good news, as a lot of films released by Band have had very ambitious and entertaining music. The site's just starting out, so there is currently around 18-19 different soundtracks available so far, but many more are in the works. I know »

Mark Hartley is an Australian filmmaker best known for the hugely entertaining look at the raucous and imaginative 70s and 80s new wave of cinema from his home country in documentary Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!
He's remade one of those films from that era (the 1978 psychokinetic –tinged horror film Patrick) and we recently spoke to the director about his past work and the decision to use this project as a springboard for launching his narrative career.
HeyUGuys: Patrick is a little reminiscent of the new version of Maniac in the respect that it doesn't feel like an out-and-out remake.
Mark Hartley: It's kinda interesting with remakes. We wanted to be respectful [to the previous film] but obviously we didn't want to make the same film again and we never felt like we were remaking someone's film during the shoot. Hopefully that comes across in the execution. »

Mark Hartley's reimagining of cult '70s shocker Patrick hits UK DVD shelves today, 11 August, titled Evil Awakens. With this in mind, we recently cornered Hartley as he took a break in London to pick his brain about the film, his feature helming debut.
Until now, Mark has been most widely known for his directorial work on music videos and documentaries such as Not Quite Hollywood and Machete Maidens Unleashed. When quizzed about the circumstances that led to finally getting in the director's chair for a narrative feature film, he tells us, "Well, I had never ever planned, or had any ambition, to make documentaries."
He elaborates, "That kind of happened by accident... I had always intended to make narrative features, and it was just a very difficult process. My background is actually music videos – I've made like a hundred and fifty music videos in Australia prior to »

Stars: Charles Dance, Rachel Griffiths, Sharni Vinson, Martin Crewes, Peta Sergeant | Written by Justin King | Directed by Mark Hartley
Former music video director Mark Hartley came to prominence, at least to me, in 2008 when his wonderful documentary Not Quite Hollywood, which detailed the "Ozploitation" genre, exploded on film blogs and movie sites across the globe. He then followed that up with another documentary, Machete Maidens Unleashed, a look at Filipino genre filmmaking, in 2010. I was fortunate enough to see that doc on the big screen at 2011′s Frightfest Glasgow and now, some three years later Hartley's feature film debut Patrick: Evil Awakens, a loose remake of Richard Franklin's seminal 1978 shocker, makes it's UK debut on DVD.
It's been some years since I've seen Franklin's original film and it's Italian lensed "sequel" Patrick Lives Again, but it's not like anyone can actually forget »

[Update 5/5/2014 11:08am - Added Charlie Band's reply from Blu-Ray.com]
If you are reading this site, there is a chance that you attend some conventions. Whether you travel to them or they roll into your hometown, more than likely this year you will see Charlie Band. Granted, the deal he is schlepping isn't too bad. For $18 and your credit card, you can get 3 months of the Full Moon Streaming service in addition to 3 Blu-Rays of your choice. Since I'm not a huge fan of businesses having my credit card in a recurring payment that I always forget to cancel, you can actually give the Full Moon dudes (pun intended) a $20 bill and they'll give you the same deal without having to worry about that recharge in 3 months. Hell, I did it at Cinema Wasteland last month. I figured that 3 months of the Full Moon streaming service and three Blu-Rays – one of which including Tourist Trap – was a great deal. »

Howdy fright fiends! All of us here at Icons of Fright are pretty hardcore when it comes to being soundtrack fanatics. Whether it be Rob or Justin blasting away with their Death Waltz vinyl, or little ol' me (Jerry), sorting through my insane amount of iTunes soundtracks or Mondo vinyl collection, the fact is that we're constantly in adoration of all things music, especially when the tunes are from our favorite fright films. Since this whole month of April is one big celebration of our ten year anniversary, and we wanted to make things really fun, we decided that instead of just writing an article about Our favorite soundtracks, we would reach out to our friends and colleagues and ask them to join up and contribute to this one. So, without further ado, we bring you Icons and Friends: Our Favorite Genre Film Scores!

Sharni Vinson garnered profound praise from fans and critics alike for her turn in Adam Wingard's You're Next, and this year the actress has returned to the horror genre in the new remake of the 1978 Australian thriller Patrick. In the new version, Vinson plays a nurse who shares a profound connection with the titular character, a comatose patient with telekinetic powers. We recently had the pleasure of connecting with Ms. Vinson, who told us why she loves performing her own stunts, describes becoming an icon for female empowerment, and hints at her role in an upcoming all-female Expendables-style film. Fearnet: You're becoming known as a very versatile actor who can perform a lot of her own stunts. Which of your stunts did you perform in Patrick? Vinson: Patrick was probably the movie that I have done the most stunts in. We had these incredible rigs that I would get thrown backwards by, »

A comatose patient with telekinetic powers runs amok without leaving his bed at a mad doctor's clinic in "Patrick: Evil Awakens." This well-crafted remake of the 1978 Aussie cult item "Patrick" marks a steady move into scripted features for helmer Mark Hartley, whose impressive documentary "Not Quite Hollywood" chronicled the 1970s and '80s golden age of Aussie exploitation cinema. Rich in gothic trappings and sporting a terrific central performance by Sharni Vinson ("You're Next") as a nurse in Patrick's sinister sights, the pic has some wobbly dialogue and doesn't deliver full-blown terror, but should satisfy audiences hankering for old-school genre entertainment. Tepid B.O. during the film's October 2013 Oz run doesn't bode well for its limited U.S. theatrical bow on March 14; outlook is much brighter for same-day VOD release and homevid fortunes.

The spirits of 1980s genre maestros like John Carpenter, Walter Hill and William Lustig hover strongly over Jim Mickle's "Cold in July," a superior piece of Texas pulp fiction that starts out like a house on fire, sags a bit in the middle, then rallies for an exuberantly bloody finish. Bolstered by a trio of strong performances from Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard and an uncorked Don Johnson, this ultra-violent, grimly funny hybrid of home-invasion thriller and revenge Western won't be to most mainstream tastes, but should flourish with the same niche audiences who have deservedly come to embrace Mickle ("Stake Land," "We Are What We Are") as a noble upholder of a bygone B-movie tradition. IFC picked up distribution rights at Sundance.
The pic's opening 30 minutes, arguably the best work Mickle has yet done, detail a startling attempted robbery and its equally harrowing aftermath. On a »

Last stop on our holiday tour in Sicily. It was not bad, but not perfect either. The room was very clean and really large, but our hosts were rather distant and disinterested. Especially the breakfast was disappointing: poor quality and variety.

Pets at Our Shelter:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
We serve the following cities, towns and/or counties:Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park, Lyons, Riverside, North Riverside, LaGrange Park, Cicero, Berwyn and more.
About Our Shelter:
The Animal Care League was founded in 1973 as the Village Humane Society to help homeless animals in the Oak Park community. After a few years of operations, the Humane Society realized the need for help extended beyond the Oak Park borders and changed its name to the Animal Care League to better communicate our purpose.At the beginning, the ACL did not have a physical shelter to house animals. Instead, supporters cared for animals in their homes until a permanent home could be found. This personal touch was very nice, however, it greatly limited the number of animals that could be helped and made the adoption process very slow. In the late 1970s, the Animal Care League rented its first shelter, relocating to a new building a few years later. For many years the shelter worked out of this small facility, but in 1998 we moved again to our current location. We have the capacity to house up to thirty-three dogs, more than 120 cats and many other little critters such as birds, rabbits, mice, snakes and even chickens.
From the very beginning, the ACL has had a policy of keeping adoptable animals until we could find them a home and this is still in practice today. This means that no matter how long it takes, we keep an adoptable animal with us until we find that right loving home. Even though the number of animals coming through our doors for help each year has increased by 100 percent in the last several years alone, we firmly believe in this policy and will continue to give every animal the best opportunity possible to find a new home. We have accomplished this by taking proactive approaches to animal care and adoption as well as preventative measures to help reduce the number of homeless animals in our communities.
The Animal Care League works very hard to keep our animals healthy, reduce the number and severity of behavior problems and to act proactively in finding new homes for our pets.

Carey Price is unconscious, should Mike Smith be a buyout candidate?, and why isn't John Klingberg generating Calder buzz?
Let's begin with the Washington Capitals and the Montreal Canadiens, who played to a 0-0 draw through 60 minutes before Max Pacioretty gave the Habs an extra point with an overtime goal.
Pacioretty's tally, his 23rd goal of the year, gave Canadiens goaltender Carey Price his fourth shutout of the season. The Olympic gold medal winning netminder has been outrageously good over the pas

City Police Commissioner C. Sylendra Babu on Thursday inaugurated a training centre to prepare constables to be part of a nationwide Crime and Criminal Tracking Networking System.
Sylendra Babu said that a permanent establishment would train police personnel in computerising the data including complaints, FIR, reports, court records.
The system would also help the police units in various States to exchange information relating to crime and criminals.
In the first phase, police stations would be computerised. Then offices of the sub-division officers such as Assistant Commissioners of Police and then the offices of the Deputy Commissioner and Commissionerate would be computerised.
The objective is to have an integrated system for data to ensure access from anywhere.
On completion of the process, the networking will be done first with the State Crime Records Bureau and then in final stages with the National Crime Record Bureau. In future, when the police allow limited access to the records through the website, public could also access the system for ascertaining the stage of their case, action on complaint, passport and job verification papers, stage of applications made for licence for buildings, bars and weapons.
The centre would impart training to police personnel in batches of 20 and all the 3,000 police personnel would be covered over a period of time.
Keywords: criminal tracking, data management, police training

.- Fr. Christopher Hartley Sartorius, pastor of St. Joseph of the Plains Parish, located 65 kilometers from Santo Domingo, denounced the poor working conditions of the Dominican Republic sugarcane fields, which he characterized as the "waiting rooms of hell," where thousands of haitians will be working during the coming months.
Fr. Sartorius explained that "25,000 Haitians, with their machetes, will be brought here in military trucks under the cover of night, so that they will not know where they are," adding that "nobody knows these people exist, they are undocumented."
"We should realize just how much the sugar that sweetens our coffee is costing," he said.
Fr. Sartorius said the sugarcane workers, who do without electricity and potable water, are spread out all over the sugarcane plantations and form a world practically unknown and isolated from the outside world.
"Haitians come for the harvest, and some stay of their own free will, such as Banika, who came with her husband when she was 14, and now, at 20 and with three daughters, she says she does not wish to return to Haiti," said Fr. Sartorius, adding the workers are promised good pay, but only get vouchers worth $1.30 per ton of sugarcane. The vouchers are barely enough to buy rice, beans and cooking oil.

I like evergreens, and would like to add some around my in-ground swimming pool in Edmond. We hang out outside all year round, so I'd like to have evergreens out there, to always be pretty. But I've seen a friend's pool in Edmond, that had pine needles in clogging up his water filter. What are some evergreens that don't loose much foliage, that I can plant in a small space, near the pool. My backyard is featured in image 16 of the Blue Haven Oklahoma City Pools Gallery page
I'd like to replace those bushes with small evergreen trees. As you can see, they're pretty close to the water. I'm just tired of the deadness in the winter, since we have enough drought here in Oklahoma to deal with in the summer anyway. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Someone else will have to chime in on the evergreen idea, that's not my area, but your pool is GORGEOUS!! I'll be happy to pool sit any time you need one ;) (we have a friend who allows us to "pool sit" when they go on vacation...lol...basically that entails us lazing around their pool!) Lisa |

Pattern taken from November 2010 Burda magazine no:103 page 36, sewing course.
I used silk organza for the yoke and some spare black polyester that has a slight sheen for the main body of the dress.
I'm a Threads Insider subscriber and used the french binding technique for the armhole and neck edges.
It is lined with black honkong silk lining.
The garment calls for pockets but there was not enough fabric and in any case, the client (my daughter) would only put her hands in them and ruin the line!
It is one of my easiest, fastest makes, even considering that I hand sewed the lining. The length is perfect for her, and it needed no adjustment. I graded the pattern downward to size 34, using a method I'd seen in an old Burda or two. Daughter will be adding the collar for more formal occasions. I'll get around to finding a way to make it detachable.
The collar and the lining fabric were bought in Silkhance in Tooting SW London, the organza is from eBay and I have no idea where the black fabric comes from except it just appeared in my stash.
Black silk organza, polyester something, satin bias binding, polyester thread, snap closure.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Ahaz son of Jotham began to rule over Judah in the seventeenth year of King Pekah's reign in Israel. | 1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. |
2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. He did not do what was pleasing in the sight of the LORD his God, as his ancestor David had done. | 2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. Unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God. |
3 Instead, he followed the example of the kings of Israel, even sacrificing his own son in the fire. He imitated the detestable practices of the pagan nations the LORD had driven from the land ahead of the Israelites. | 3 He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, following the detestable ways of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. |
4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense at the pagan shrines and on the hills and under every green tree. | 4 He offered sacrifices and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops and under every spreading tree. |
5 Then King Rezin of Aram and King Pekah of Israel declared war on Ahaz. They besieged Jerusalem but did not conquer it. | 5 Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel marched up to fight against Jerusalem and besieged Ahaz, but they could not overpower him. |
6 At that time the king of Edom recovered the town of Elath for Edom. He drove out the people of Judah and sent Edomites to live there, as they do to this day. | 6 At that time, Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram by driving out the men of Judah. Edomites then moved into Elath and have lived there to this day. |
7 King Ahaz sent messengers to King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria with this message: "I am your servant and your vassal. Come up and rescue me from the attacking armies of Aram and Israel." | 7 Ahaz sent messengers to say to Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, "I am your servant and vassal. Come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Aram and of the king of Israel, who are attacking me." |
8 Then Ahaz took the silver and gold from the Temple of the LORD and the palace treasury and sent it as a gift to the Assyrian king. | 8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold found in the temple of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace and sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria. |
9 So the Assyrians attacked the Aramean capital of Damascus and led its population away as captives, resettling them in Kir. They also killed King Rezin. | 9 The king of Assyria complied by attacking Damascus and capturing it. He deported its inhabitants to Kir and put Rezin to death. |
10 King Ahaz then went to Damascus to meet with King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria. While he was there, he noticed an unusual altar. So he sent a model of the altar to Uriah the priest, along with its design in full detail. | 10 Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. He saw an altar in Damascus and sent to Uriah the priest a sketch of the altar, with detailed plans for its construction. |
11 Uriah built an altar just like it by following the king's instructions, and it was ready for the king when he returned from Damascus. | 11 So Uriah the priest built an altar in accordance with all the plans that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus and finished it before King Ahaz returned. |
12 When the king returned, he inspected the altar and made offerings on it. | 12 When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings on it. |
13 The king presented a burnt offering and a grain offering, poured a drink offering over it, and sprinkled the blood of peace offerings on it. | 13 He offered up his burnt offering and grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his fellowship offerings on the altar. |
14 Then King Ahaz removed the old bronze altar from the front of the LORD's Temple, which had stood between the entrance and the new altar, and placed it on the north side of the new altar. | 14 The bronze altar that stood before the LORD he brought from the front of the temple--from between the new altar and the temple of the LORD--and put it on the north side of the new altar. |
15 He said to Uriah the priest, "Use the new altar for the morning sacrifices of burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering and grain offering, and the offerings of the people, including their drink offerings. The blood from the burnt offerings and sacrifices should be sprinkled over the new altar. The old bronze altar will be only for my personal use." | 15 King Ahaz then gave these orders to Uriah the priest: "On the large new altar, offer the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering and his grain offering, and the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offering. Sprinkle on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar for seeking guidance." |
16 Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz instructed him. | 16 And Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had ordered. |
17 Then the king removed the side panels and basins from the portable water carts. He also removed the Sea from the backs of the bronze oxen and placed it on the stone pavement. | 17 King Ahaz took away the side panels and removed the basins from the movable stands.

Eminem to Executive Produce Skylar Grey's Debut Album
Eminem has officially signed on as an executive producer for Skylar Grey's debut album, Don't Look Down, which is slated for a Spring 2013 release.
The two first got acquainted during the recording of Em's Recovery album in 2010.
"When I was working on Recovery I was introduced to Skylar by Alex Da Kid and I was blown away with her talent as both a songwriter and vocalist," said Eminem. "This album is really going to give her a chance to connect with the fans who probably know her music, but might not know her yet. I think they will be as impressed as I am."
Marshall also co-produced her first single with producer Alex Da Kid. The track, "C'mon Let Me Ride," featuring Eminem, will be released to all digital retailers on December 11.
"Putting out a debut album is a bit scary – I want it to be just right so I took some extra time to finish it. Eminem's increased involvement has been such a blessing; I'm getting guidance from an artist I really admire and trust," said Grey. "Having written many new songs, the album has become a completely different animal, hence the title change. This new single with Em, in particular, is very exciting. We have worked on so many serious songs together – it's a nice change of pace to do something fun and sarcastic."
A music video for the single has already been shot in Detroit. The song's hook is rumored to feature Em doing a new rendition of Queen's hit "Bicycle Race."

Up until about several months ago I had in my home office downstairs a Dell desktop pc (XP) and a Brother laser printer (HL-5140) connected to it, with service through a Qwest broadband modem (GT-701). I then got a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop (Vista) and a TrendNet router (TEW-633GR) for computer use upstairs. I am now trying to figure out how I can print from my laptop upstairs to my printer downstairs.
This is my current setup:
With this setup, I can print only from the pc. Is there a way I can reconfigure things so that I can print from my laptop upstairs to the printer downstairs? TIA! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Network everything then when the printer and pc downstairs is running you can add 'new printer to the laptop. Pay attention to the name of it and match it. Or look at trendnet for a wifi print server. |
You didn't say what Operating System you're using, and whether it's the same on both computers. But here's something to get you started. Go into your Control Panel, then Printers; right-click on the Brother printer, and see if you have a menu item entitled "Sharing." If so, click on that and see what your options are. |
Sorry...I see you mentioned XP, and I assume both machines have it, so that will be a little easier. |

Thanks for the quick responses! Here are some answers: -- kudzu9: The older PC downstairs has XP; the laptop upstairs has Vista. |
If you share a printer as you guys are talking about, will you need drivers for the different Windows OSs on the downstairs printer? I was checking out my 'Printer Sharing' Window and it mentioned that subject in one of the tabs. |
seattlemike- I'm not an expert on this, but here is my suggestion. Install the printer on the laptop if you haven't already done so (just follow the same procedure you followed to install it on your first computer). Once it's installed, follow my other directions above about going into the Control Panel, etc. It should be pretty self-explanatory once you get there, even if your skills are basic. Then tell us if it worked... |
- Posted by seattlemike (My Page) on Tue, Feb 3, 09 at 0:45
kudzu9: Ref. your last post. The printer is connected to the pc by wire (cable), so I don't understand how I would install it on the laptop. Maybe it's because I don't fully understand wireless networks. I think I need some step-by-step instructions. Thanks. |
seattlemike, I will try to expand on "kudzu9's last post". Before you can make the printer work wirelessly with your laptop you have to make it work by cable. So, just for this purpose, you need to unplug the "computer end" of the cable that connects the printer to your desktop computer. Now plug that cable into your laptop. Hopefully the laptop will say "Found new printer, new printer ready for use" - Vista will probably have everything it needs otherwise you will need the original printer cd or else download the drivers from Brother's site. If the printer now works o.k you can disconnect the cable and plug it back into your desktop. If the printer doesn't work yet, come back here for more help. Now the wireless part - try going through the other posts again as they have covered most things. In summary, give the printer exactly the same name on the laptop as it has on the desktop and turn on Printer Sharing. Colin |

bee4mee: Thanks, Colin. I'll give it a try today. Thanks again. |
seattlemike- Sorry I wasn't clearer. When I said to do the install like you did before, I should probably have specified that I meant it literally...with a cable attached. Anyway, hope you've got enough info to succeed now. Let us know how it goes... |

these are the steps as listed on ehow Share Your Printer in Windows This is also a good tutorial you should also check to see if you have all the computers set up with the same workgroup name. |
If your Wireless network has not been registered on that particular PC or printer, then no key is stored. You can't just add a wireless network to the programme. |

Project by Greg..the Cajun Wood Artist | posted 08-23-2014 05:01 AM | 1497 views | 3 times favorited | 25 comments |
I have been redesigning and building my new worktable for sculpting and just posted a project of the table…
Well, the true test is not so much the table but how it works after the changes I made from the old one.
This is my first real test of a full sculpted box and I have to say that it made my sculpting easier.
The box is made from Cocobolo (one of my very favorite woods to use) and the bottom is lined with leather.
I only have two coats of lacquer on it so far and plan to apply about five more coats.
The box size is 10×7x5"

Thank you everyone. The Cocobolo always is a pleasure to work with and always has some outstanding grain colors and patterns in it. I find it photographs best when just a couple of finish coats are applied because even with a flat finish it picks up the lighting in the photos very easily. I am adding more coats of lacquer today. -- Each step of every Wood Art project I design and build is considered my masterpiece… because I want the finished product to reflect the quality and creativeness of my work |

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan will launch a 'Crystal White' Vita model on June 28.
It'll be available in 3G/Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi only versions, priced at the regular 29,980 yen (£232.50) / 24,980 yen (£193.70), Andriasang reports.
Matching Crystal White earphones will release on the same day for 2,800 yen (£21.70). There's no word on whether the new colour model will receive a Western release, but we've emailed Sony and asked - it would nice to have an alternative to the fingerprint black model, as Tamoor likes to call it.
What Vita really needs is games, according to Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto, who recently said of Sony's latest handheld: "It's obviously a very high-spec machine and you can do lots of things with it, but I don't really see the combination of software and hardware that really makes a very strong product."

My husband and I recently stayed at Dunning Ranch in the one bedroom suite, it was perfect for us. The Ranch is off the beaten path, so you can expect peace and quiet. The place is cute, amenities are all there, as well complimentary snacks. We would recommend Dunning Ranch to friends, and return ourselves.

If you want a peaceful, storybook cottage setting, quiet and away from it all, this is the perfect place. Beautiful big oak trees shade nature trails, deer wandering around. We loved the coziness of Suite 1. Our host, Christine, even supplied us with cream instead of 1/2 and 1/2 for our coffee, at my request! They aim to please.

Dunning Ranch Guest Suites met and exceeded all our expectations. It was so quiet and private - we literally had the place to ourselves (except for the sweet black cat who slept on the front porch wicker chair each day). The historic house was delightful - it still retains it's charming, traditional "farmhouse" architecture of the 1930's, although the interior has been modernized to include every convenience we needed. Although the location is slightly "off the beaten path" it is still within 5-10 minutes of all the best wineries and only 10-15 minutes at most from downtown Paso Robles and Templeton. We tried two of the recommended restaurants, McPhee's and Artisan, and they both lived up to their reputation. Great getaway adult weekend!

The cottage had a beautiful setting. We woke up to deer outside our window! Loved it!

We have stayed many times in both suite 1 and in suite 2. The first time you arrive it's a little hard to find, but that's part of the charm. Once you're there, it's wonderfully private, quiet and serene. Christine, the inkeeper, is friendly and courteous. She takes wonderful care of the place. The freindly cat, Charlie, is the icing on the cake.

Dunning Ranch Guest Suites provided us with the perfect stay for our first trip to Paso Robles this past weekend. It was a little drive up the hill, but the seclusion of the property made it all the more relaxing. We woke up to a family of deer roaming by the yard. Bedding and furnishings in the suite were comfortable and made it easy for us to feel at home away from home. Christine, the innkeeper, was very nice and gave us lots of tips on where to go and coupons for free wine tastings. My girlfriend and I stayed in suite 1. We had a fun romantic weekend and I felt real proud of myself for booking this place.

This is a gorgeous little cottage on Dunning Vineyards. We stayed in Suite 2, which has a full kitchen. Christine stocks the fridge with a great selection of breakfast items and snacks. The front porch is lovely and it's so relaxing to enjoy a glass of wine there. Also a great BBQ area outside.

I came up to Paso Robles mid week to get away for a few days and unwind and relax with my boyfriend and his parents. It was our first time at Dunning Ranch and it will definitely not be our last. The cabin was very clean, plenty of fresh towels and a fully stocked refrigerator. We even cooked dinner there one night. Plenty of space for the four of us. Two good side bedrooms and great space in the living area as well including a great front porch. I could not have picked a better spot to stay. So quiet and peaceful and the starry nights are irresistable. Thank you Dunning Ranch for a wonderful vacation!! Julie Soto Temple City, CA.

As veterans we can not say enough how much we appreciate you giving us a complimentary stay at your ranch suites. It was absolutely beautiful, and we enjoyed our selves greatly. The room was imaculate and tastefully appointed. We loved the jacuzzi tub and the large private deck with views of the winery and many deer that grazed on the property. We highly recommend Dunning Ranch Suites. We still can not belive your generosity and that you did this for us. Again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

SUNY Upstate student in Tanzania researching therapies for bacterial infections in the blood
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— Manlius resident Andrea Shaw, a fourth-year medical student at SUNY Upstate Medical University, is the recipient of Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Carolyn L. Kuckein Student Research Fellowship for her project "Non-Typhi Salmonella Bacteremia [bacteria in the blood} Studies at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre and Mawenzi Hospital in Tanzania.
The Carolyn L. Kuckein Student Research Fellowship provides summer term support for clinical investigation, basic laboratory research, epidemiology, or social science/health services research. Only one candidate from each school may be nominated.
Shaw, who will graduate from Upstate in May 2009, has been in Tanzania since January participating in this research project with a team of investigators from Duke University studying the epidemiology and treatment of acute febrile illness at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC)—Duke University Kilimanjaro AIDS Program. She will return home in November.
Shaw is studying the appropriateness of ciprofloxacin as empiric therapy for Tanzanian patients hospitalized with non-Typhi Salmonella (NTS) bacteremia, a common co-infection in AIDS patients in the third world. This is an important study that will influence the empiric care of patients with this common presentation in underdeveloped countries.
Shaw is the daughter of Susan and Steve Shaw of Manlius.

Massachusetts Board of Certification of Operators of Drinking Water Facilities Announces Enforcement Action
BOSTON - January 17, 2012 - The Board of Certification of Operators of Drinking Water Facilities announced today disciplinary action against the following licensee:
John Glaze, Westfield
The Board has accepted the voluntary surrender of the Drinking Water Operator license of Glaze, effective Oct. 31, 2011. Glaze admitted that on or about December 2009, he renewed his Drinking Water Operator license, and acknowledged that in this renewal he attested under pains and penalties of perjury that he completed all continuing education requirements required by Board statutes and regulations. Glaze admitted that he in fact did not complete the continuing education requirements required by Board regulations for licensure renewal. Furthermore, Glaze admitted while practicing as the primary operator at the Warfield House Inn in Charlemont, he failed to submit two Annual Statistical Reports to the Department of Environmental Protection and failed to correct deficiencies within the required timeframe in January 2010 as identified by DEP. Glaze admitted that the conduct described above violates Board regulations at 236 CMR 5.01 and violates G.L. c. 112 §61. Glaze may no longer practice as a drinking water operator in the Commonwealth.
Consumers are urged to visit the Division of Professional Licensure's website at www.mass.gov/dpl and select the "Check a Professional's License" link to determine whether a professional with whom they may do business is licensed and in good standing.
