ATLAS Questions
So I just ordered my Atlas transfer case and need help deciding which gear ratio to go with. They said you get 2 weeks to change your mind. I was originally going with the 5.0 because of the 32 spline upgrade. At the time I was only concerned with crawling. I have since started going faster like everyone else and want to get some opinions from you guys that are running them. My setup is an XJ full width on 42's with 5:38's bone stock 4.0 with and AW4. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I think you are going to hate the 5.0 if you plan to drive from obstacle to obsacle in 4wd low. I dont think your 4.0 will put the 42s quickly in high range.
I would look at the 3.8 or 4.3. The 3.8 gets my vote. |

I am going to be running a 3.8 in my Cherokee with 40's and 5.13. It crawls good with the 2.72 in the stock case, and I didn't want to go too high, but still be able to blast from trail to trail. That was my decision.

I'd say 3.8 too.
Too big of a jump and you'll hate it. If you have some kind of doubler like a Klune with the 2.72, you can choose between that and the 5:1 to have the variety you need (not to mention a really low crawl). I'm running a 4.3 in my Atlas but with the granny low in the SM465 transmission, it's like having a 2:1 low range that's easy to shift in and out of.

I have TJ 3 speed auto, 40" and 4:88 with 5:1. If I were to do it over again 3.8-1. My TJ is less than stellar in the snow, mud, sand, works well in rocks but if I need wheel speed I'm screwed.
Tell you way you order a 3.8 and I will trade you my 5:1 Deal

Magath denies Neuer rumours
03 Dec 2009 - 11:37:25
Schalke have dismissed renewed rumours suggesting that they are prepared to sell goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the January transfer window.
The 23-year-old Germany international is regarded as one of the most consistent keepers in the Bundesliga and agent Thomas Kroth claimed that Manchester United are keen on a deal.
He said: "I have read the reports about Manuel and a possible transfer to Manchester. I can confirm that United are interested in securing his services."
However, Schalke head coach Felix Magath told Bild: "I have said that Manuel Neuer is not for sale and there is no more news on this.
"We have a strong desire to play in the Champions League again, therefore we are going to need our best players.
"I am definitely not prepared to sell potentially the best shot-stopper in Germany."

Party Notes
2nd March 2015
Organise the anti-racists, build for 21 March
IT WAS a very bad weekend for racists, with 3,000 people taking to the streets In Newcastle against Pegida and 700 marching on Ukip's spring conference in Margate.
Two years ago a big EDL march in Newcastle after the killing of Lee Rigby outnumbered anti-racists. This time we outnumbered them ten to one!
As we said last week, "There is a tidal wave of Islamophobia and racism coming from the top of society—and it will worsen during the election campaign—but there has produced a strong anti-racist reaction from a significant number of people."
This was the basis for the magnificent mobilisations we saw on Saturday. It is a mood against fascism, against racism, against Ukip and against Islamophobia.
It is the basis for building the 21 March anti-racism demos which can help shift the atmosphere.
Every branch needs a plan to build for 21 March
It's less than three weeks to the demos! Every branch needs to have a clear plan to build it—and this is particularly important in places where we have a local Stand up to Racism meeting.
There needs to be some thought about a local plan of leafleting to build M21 which the chair at local meetings announces and asks people to sign up to (do a sign-up sheet to circulate).
Of course, there can be flexibility if people make further suggestions, but make sure a number of things are definitely going to happen.
Make sure there are plenty of M21 leaflets and encourage people to take them away to leaflet their workmates friends etc
In addition for SWP members, in London especially where this week we have the Time to Act climate demo on Saturday, we should have a campaigning Socialist Worker sale outside a tube station on Thursday or Friday (or both!).
These should be pitched to comrades as part of building the demo as well as selling an anti-racist, socialist newspaper. Such stalls can help create an anti-racist atmosphere and hand out hundreds of flyers for M21. Last Friday comrades, including two school students, sold 27 papers at Brixton and 20 papers at Warren Street tube.
Also this Friday, every branch should aim to leaflet a Mosque and next Thursday we should leaflet an FE college or university.
At work every comrade in a workplace needs to think about what they can do to build the demo – can you get 4-5 workmates to agree to come out on lunchtime or immediately after work to leaflet inside or outside the workplace or at a local station etc.
Get people who support the demo at work to hold up an 'I'm Standing Up to Racism' poster, take picture and send it to the Stand up to Racism facebook page.
Make sure you get your union banner to M21 – it's officially backed by the TUC and many trade unions.
On 13 March we want comrades (and as many others as possible) to leaflet workplaces and mosques.
There is a brilliant little film on the Hackney Stand Up to Racism and Fascism facebook page which has a great range of people saying why they are demonstrating on 21 March. It has been viewed nearly 2,000 times!
This has been a very good week for the SWP: Among the many highlights, comrades did very well around the firefighters' strike last Thursday, the Greece debate in London, the demos in Margate and Newcastle, the ISJ school on China (which had 65 at it with excellent discussion and a very good range of speakers).
All of these demonstrate the potential for the party to sell SW, sign people up to Marxism 2015 and to recruit and grow. We need to be present in good numbers in Saturday as part of the Time to Act climate demo (see below)
Stand up to Ukip
The Margate anti-Ukip demo was a big success, with lots of young people among the 700 there, and a real sense of the potential to squeeze Ukip harder. SUTU has called for a day of action with leafleting this weekend.
We are already having an effect in some target atreas. A comrade reports from Heywood and Middleton, which Ukip nearly gained in a recent by-election., "Eleven supporters of Stand Up to UKIP leafleted in Middelton on Saturday. The overall response was similar to Heywood the previous fortnight. A lot of people were friendly, took leaflets, and signed the signup sheet. A number took the trouble to say how pleased they were that we were there leafleting. There were some racists and some UKIP supporters, but in general they didn't seem that confident."
●Stand Up to Ukip 4 page Factsheets can be ordered at 500 for £30 or 1,000 at £50 - send to firstname.lastname@example.com or post to Stand Up To Ukip, PO Box 72710, London, SW19 9GX.
Time to Act! Climate demo, 7 March
The demonstration has attracted a lot of publicity and will be a chance to raise key issues in the run up to the General Election and the Paris protests in December.
It assembles at Lincoln Inns Fields, London (Holborn tube)
at 12.30am. For full details and transport go to http://www.timetoact2015.org/
Please make sure that comrades from your branch are going on the transport.
We want to make sure that we sell copies of the "One Million Climate Jobs" pamphlet (you can order copies via Bookmarks or the CaCC office) and Socialist Worker. Please contact Amy on firstname.lastname@example.com if you are planning on coming to the demo from outside London.
We will need London branches to send comrades to help with our stalls and sales. We need each London branch to collect the names of five comrades who can be at the assembly point at 11am. Please let Amy know who can come.
Branches might also want to consider having meetings after the demonstration that discuss the climate movement, and how we can stop climate change.
This Changes Everything Conference: Sat 28 March
This will be a major event with big name speakers, as well as Naomi Klein via Skype. Campaign Against Climate Change has backed the event. It is likely to sell out, so comrades MUST book their ticket in advance.
Greece and socialist strategy
The meeting last week hosted by International Socialism journal with Syriza central committee member Stathis Kouvelakis and Alex Callinicos was a great success with over 250 present. It showed the thirst for discussion about this crucial issue facing the left in Greece and internationally.
Stathis wrote on Facebook, "The debate on 'Syriza and socialist strategy' I had this evening with Alex Callinicos organised by International Socialism Journal was the most remarkable event of that type I've ever been part of in London. As Alex, I was particularly impressed by the size of the audience, the atmosphere in this ultra-packed room, with people standing even outside in the court and listening through some semi-opened windows. There was a kind of electricity in the air, something I've rarely felt in this kind of events in my entire life. Many thanks Alex, to the ISJ comrades and all those who contributed to this very special evening."
It is now available on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV2jCTBjlpQ please share! It has already been viewed more than 4,500 times.
Maximus demos and benefit sanctions protests
Today is a DPAC day of action against Maximus and the Work Capacity Assessment. You can follow the action on twitter at @Dis_PPL_Protest or http://dpac.uk.net/ Following it there will be:
Unite national day of action on benefit sanctions, Thursday 19 March
Unite have a day of action outside job centres on Thursday 19 March in many towns and cities across the country.
Some of these are protests, some are stalls. Go here for your local action: http://bit.ly/17K4ylV
Marxism 2015: book early for £5 discount
Book now to get a discount at www.marxismfestival.org.uk
Marxism 2015: Ideas for Revolution
A five day political festival to discuss alternatives for a world in crisis
9-13 July 2015, Central London
Book online today www.marxismfestival.org.uk
Every comrade should book asap – it really helps us to finance and plan the event.
Every branch needs a Marxism organiser. If you have not yet agreed one please do so this week and let us know – it makes a massive difference in terms of getting bookings.
Every comrade should be asked to book for Marxism. Payments can be post-dated and paid in instalments.
But we should also ask non members.
Every comrade and branch should think about how to use the £5 discount offer to sign-up the people we are meeting around the anti-racist and anti-fascist work, the student activity, the firefighters' strike etc.
Students at Marxism 2015: There are now only a few weeks of term left before Easter.
Therefore it is crucial to do Marxism stalls at your local Uni or 6th Form college. Every branch should be doing these stalls to help build for the 21 March demo – make sure there is Marxism publicity available too.
Get contact details of anyone interested in Marxism – use the attached sheet. Make sure anyone interested is followed up straight away – it can take a few conversations to ensure people are happy with all the practicalities etc.
If you need last year's timetable to show people let us know and we will send out. Get back to every student you have met since September – on the SWSS lists from Freshers' Fairs to contacts from meetings.
You can adapt the weekly Marxism email and forward on to these lists. Also call those students you have numbers for.
TUSC election campaigns
TUSC campaigns are underway across Britain with comrades at the centre of election challenges from Aberdeen to Portsmouth.
We are on the verge of reaching our target of 15 SWP members standing as part of more than 100 TUSC parliamentary candidates.
The TUSC election campaign is crucial against austerity and is also part of the battle against racist scapegoating.
We have a google group for TUSC candidates and agents in the SWP. It shares information, experiences, leaflets and answers questions. If you want to be involved, please email firstname.lastname@example.com to be invited.
SWP re-registration
Re-registration is important to engage members with the party's activities, go through our political perspective and to increase the subscription income so we can be even more effective.
Done properly it works well! From Edinburgh a comrade writes, "Re-registration can be done in formalistic manner of either leaving comrades to re-register themselves or just ticking them off at a branch meeting.
"In Edinburgh we have embarked upon a systematic programme of talking and meeting with every member on our list. There are 73 so this will not be easy. To date 25 have re-registered—all on DD with a total increase of £134 per month. That's £1,608 per year extra in subs for the party.
"With many comrades this has entailed a long conversation about anything and everything: all wanted to talk about racism and the Scottish referendum result. And in the last couple of weeks we have had conversations about Syriza and the general election here.
"Results include a youth worker raising her subs from £4 to £10 a month, a nursing student with young child raising from £5 to £7, a caretaker from £6 to £7; and a retired comrade from £40-£50. We can talk to people about our activities. For example, was delighted to learn that we have a TUSC candidate standing in his constituency and wants to hand out material for her."
To re-register yourself, return the form you have been sent or go to https://swp.org.uk/forms/re-registration
Branch meeting titles
Some suggestions: How radical are the Greens?; Syriza and socialist strategy; The Westminster elite: is the old party system dying?; From Selma to Ferguson: the fight for Civil Rights in the US; Do we need system change to stop climate change?; ISIS and counter-revolution: a Marxist analysis; Have women achieved equality?; How can we stop Ukip?; Socialists, TUSC and the general election; Why is Labour so right wing?; Is Marxism still relevant today?; Are we heading for economic recovery—or another slump?
New Socialist Review out this week
This month's issue leads with Weyman Bennett and Christine Buchholz on the strategies we need to confront the various strands of racism and fascism in Europe today.
Sinead Kennedy looks at the apparent contradiction of attacks on abortion rights in an increasingly neoliberal world which claims to encourage "choice".
We interview Ukrainian Marxist Volodymyr Ishchenko about the situation one year on from the Maidan protests. Anne Alexander exposes Egyptian leader Sisi's dodgy economic dealings and Jan Nielsen looks at the transformative effect of the First World War on women's lives. Plus book reviews, columns and culture.
Branch orders will go out with the papers this week - if you want extra copies or to set up a new order phone the office on 020 7819 1176 or email email@example.com

Fast Food Rights
Fast Food Rights planning meeting: This Wednesday 4 March, 6pm, Room P, Portcullis House, Westminster
The BFAWU-led Fast Food Rights campaign is having a planning meeting to discuss and organise for the 15 April global day of action.
At the Unite the Resistance national conference in November, the day of action on 15 April was one of the focuses for 2015. On that day, US fast food workers will have their biggest strike yet, with many other sections of low paid workers joining strikes for $15 an hour and a union.
On the same day, fast food workers and unions will hold protests in over 33 countries. This is a perfect opportunity, in the build up to a highly politically charged general election, to raise demands for a TUC-backed £10 an hour minimum wage now and for workers' rights.
In Glasgow where the campaign has had success, including an 80-strong public meeting backed and hosted by the STUC during the US strikers' tour, fast food workers have joined the union and a young BFAWU comrade has not only recruited her workmates to the union but also signed them up to Marxism. In Glasgow there is a Fast Food Rights public meeting on 14 March to build for 15 April.
Now regional Fast Food Rights steering groups are being set up around the country to plan actions for 15 April - make sure comrades in your area are involved in the campaign, working with BFAWU bakers' union

Minnesota currently has a Fizzy Challenge and a Double Fizzy Challenge, but neither of them is within an hour of the Twin Cities. I figured the Twin Cities needed a little bit of Fizzy Fun to give us something to shoot for...
This is a Triple Fizzy Challenge. If you're new to caching, a Fizzy Challenge requires you to find one cache for each of the 81 different difficulty/terrain combinations. A Double Fizzy requires you to do this twice. A Triple Fizzy means that you have to do this three times. So to qualify for this challenge: Find 243 different caches, 3 each for each difficulty/terrain combination.
Big Things
Following Boreal Walker's lead, I am not putting any restrictions on this cache. All caches regardless of type, date placed, date found or location can be used. You simply need to find 3 caches for each difficulty/terrain combination. The easiest way to document your completion is to post a snap shot of your grid generated using one of the multitude of stat generators, but feel free to knock yourself out and post a list of the 243 caches you've found, or make a booklist or something. Just make it verifiable and easy for me to check and you're good to go.
Little Things
This cache doesn't count for a 5/5 to qualify for this challenge.
Caches that have their ratings changed to intentionally circumvent this challenge will be disqualified.
The difficulty/terrain rating for this cache reflects the fact that you more than likely have found some insanely challenging caches involving raging water, towering trees, and brain-bending puzzles to qualify for this cache. The actual hide is a 1.5/1.5, or a 1.5/2.5 if you're sparkyfry.
A Last Word
The goal of the challenge is to have fun and try something challenging. Please keep the spirit of the cache in mind as you seek to qualify. Good luck!
Feel free when you log this cache to take a moment and relate a couple of the toughest adventures you had in qualifying.

Climate Change and Pacific Islands: Indicators and Impacts is a report developed by the Pacific Islands Regional Climate Assessment (PIRCA) aimed at assessing the state of climate knowledge, impacts, and adaptive capacity of Hawaii and the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands.
The NOAA-funded Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program (SCIPP) has developed a range of experimental and prototype tools to support climate-related decision-making and planning. These datasets and tools are designed to help increase resiliency and preparedness for weather and climate extremes now and in the future across the Southern-Central United States.
The Gulf of Mexico Data Atlas provides online answers to questions related to the physical environment, marine resources, and economic activity in the Gulf of Mexico. Information is presented in the form of map plates with descriptions, written by recognized subject matter experts, explaining how the data were gathered and how they are relevant. The Gulf of Mexico Data Atlas, prepared by NOAA, has data from federal, state and non-governmental agencies, and academia.
The NOAA Gulf of Mexico Regional Team and the Sea Grant Programs from the Gulf States support a Community of Practice (CoP) for long-term engagement with coastal communities addressing climate change. This CoP is a group of professionals working together to enhance climate literacy in the region and to develop and implement strategies for adapting to sea level rise.
In 2011, a drought of strong intensity and vast geographical extent developed in the southern United States. As the drought intensified, there was a need to improve the communication with decision makers to help them anticipate and manage the drought's impacts. A four-pronged approach was used to begin the conversation across the region: state drought planning workshops, climate outlook forums, management webinars and media engagement, and a bilateral collaboration in the Rio Grande / Bravo basin.
An archive of adaptation resources such as guidebooks, tools, and state and local plans as well as a blog about coastal concerns by NOAA's Coastal Service Center. Users can parse resources by states or category.
The Coastal and Ocean Climate Applications (COCA) program addresses the needs of specific decision makers grappling with pressing climate-related issues in coastal and marine environments. This program strengthens initiatives to support interdisciplinary applications research aimed at addressing climate-related challenges in coastal communities as well as coastal and marine ecosystems.
Grants are available annually for researchers and decision makers.
The focal theme of this year's EMS Annual Meeting is High Impact Weather: Working in Partnership to Reduce Risk. By focusing talks and sessions around this theme, organizers hope to emphasize the partnership dimension of meteorological services.
This year's theme for the annual forum held in Washington, DC is "the value and sustainability of the weather, water and climate enterprise." Recent research indicates that the annual economic impact of weather events is as much as $485 billion in the United States.

Bonds captured Player of the Year and Outstanding Player
Barry Bonds, who could be in line for a seventh Most Valuable Player award, Thursday was named the best player in the major leagues by his peers.
Bonds captured Player of the Year and Outstanding Player in the National League as voting for the 2004 Players Choice Awards was revealed.
Bonds, 40, led all players in the NL with .362 batting average. He also had 45 homers, 101 RBI and 232 walks.
It was the seventh Players Choice Award for Bonds, who last won Player of Year honors in 2001.
"I am deeply honored to have been selected by my fellow players as the recipient of these Players Choice Awards," Bonds said in a statement. "Any time you are honored by your peers, (it) makes an award extra special."
Philadelphia's Jim Thome was named recipient of the Marvin Miller Man of the Year Award. Named in honor of the Players Association's first executive director, the award is given to the player in either league whose on-field performance and contributions to his community inspire others to higher levels of achievement.
Thome, who was tied for fifth in the NL with 42 homers, has worked with the CapCure, United Way and United Cerebral Palsy charities.
Seattle Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzuki, who set a single-season record for hits in a season, was selected the American League's Outstanding Player. Suzuki's 262 hits surpassed the 84-year-old mark of George Sisler.
Suzuki, who has a career batting average of .339, won the AL Outstanding Rookie Award in 2001.
Minnesota Twins left-hander Johan Santana, who was 20-6 with a 2.61 ERA and 265 strikeouts in 2004, was named the AL's Outstanding Pitcher.
Jason Schmidt of the San Francisco Giants, who was 18-7 with a 3.20 ERA and 251 strikeouts, earned NL Outstanding Pitcher honors.
"I was definitely surprised to win the award. There are guys as deserving or more deserving. When you're selected by your peers, it's one of the greatest honors you can have as a player," Schmidt said.
Pittsburgh's Jason Bay was tabbed as the NL's Outstanding Rookie with Oakland's Bobby Crosby winning the honors in the AL. Bay hit .282 with 26 homers and 82 RBI in 120 games; Crosby hit just .239 but had 22 homers, 34 doubles and 64 RBI.
Chris Carpenter of the St. Louis Cardinals, who missed the entire 2003 season, keyed the team's drive to the NL Central title in 2004 and was named NL Comeback Player of the Year.
Carpenter was 15-5 with a 3.46 ERA and held opponents to a .245 batting average. He did not pitch in the postseason because of injury.
Orlando Hernandez, who went 8-2 with a 3.30 ERA in 15 games for the New York Yankees, was named the AL Comeback Player of the Year. Hernandez also missed all of 2003.
The Players Choice Awards winners are selected by secret ballot of all major league players and took place from Sept. 15-16.

Wine & Roses Weigilia Insects
I have 4 Wine and Roses Weigilia in a border Planting. The plantings are in Cypress mulch, and was refreshed with about another inch. 3 of the plants are invested with what appear to me to be baby boxelder bugs. There are literally hundreds of them. When I refreshed the mulch I was very careful to keep the mulch away from the base of the plants. I should also note that every fall we have hudreds of mature boxeider bugs on the southern exposure brick wall of our home. Spraying these with a mixture of dishwasher soap and water kills them instantly. These little buggers are tough, run for cover. Back within minutes. That is why the question of what they might be. Bright red oblong bodies, with black tinges. About 1/4 inch long. There are 3 Carnival Weigilia, with in 3 feet, now probably 3 years old and not a bug. One of the wine and roses planted at the same time as the other 3 and part of that "lazy" diamone has also not been infected, at least not yet?.
all those words... and yet.. not a single one.. about any damage to your shrubs ...
and unless there is damage... i dont understand why you would be concerned ...
you gotta get over you hatred of these bugs... lol ..
since i never have associated them with damage to anything .... i am rather entertained by them .... and if they are doing something to the box elder .. i wish them luck.. i hate that maple-like tree ... lol
Yeah, I was waiting to read about the damage too...and once again we see any insect hanging around a plant as a suspicious character.
Stop profiling the insects. Most are not harmful. If you see no damage, forget about it and go enjoy your garden. Kill a boxelder bug that's crawling on your TV screen. Outdoors, leave them be. It's their turf.
now.. the real kicker..
minutes after typing that i am entertained by BE bugs.. i call the neighbor.. and she is at wits end over them.. lol ... crawling all over the house.. inside.. outside.. etc .... calling lawn service for spraying.. etc..
then i realized... my BE bugs are 150 feet from the house..near the tree.. all over my barn..
and that is why mine are entertaining.. and hers are mind bending..
so.. moral of the story.. location.. location.. location...
Gary, there are several insects with that characteristic red and black coloring, especially when they are still nymphs. A couple of crisp, close images will allow for an accurate ID.
This post was edited by rhizo_1 on Thu, Jul 25, 13 at 6:57
Can someone please help? Last fall we had the landscape guy pull four ugly cedars out of our front landscape. He suggested that we replace them with Weigilia which are easier to control plus there will be a flash of color across in front of the porch. The problem is that I really don't care for the pink with reddish leaves. I have seen pictures of Weigilia that tend toward lavender with green and cream leaves. Now it's time to plant and I can't find the ones I want. I did find one named Monet that was perfect but it was a dwarf and I need regular sized plants. I'm running out of time. I would really appreciate any suggestions and help that I can get. Thank you. I live in the Buffalo,NY area.

"When we launched OpenStack with NASA just over two years ago, we knew we were onto something. We wanted to create an open-source cloud operating system upon which businesses could power their cloud environments, without getting locked into one provider. That was a bold and aggressive goal. We were aiming for the stars.But here we are two years later. OpenStack now powers the world's second-largest public cloud - the one we run at Rackspace - and the OpenStack community continues to grow and thrive. It now comprises 192 companies including HP, IBM and Dell and 5,564 technologists, developers, researchers, and other cloud computing experts."

The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact. Mar. 1, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 2,996 |
By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

This cat tree came as described, after assembling and using it for about a month, both of the top posts became unstable. After taking them off to inspect, the internal threads had been pushed into the product. I will be returning this product.
Our cat, Sanchez, has a great time jumping in and out of his tree. Also, it's nice whwn he wants to get out of the way of our dog, Shecky.
Our cat loves this! this product is made well and was easy to assemble.
this cat tree is nice and streamlined, neatly structured. i have mine right in my living room. it is very high, my cat loves it, she's always lounging on the top 2 platforms. my son put it together for me in about 15 minutes! upon watching him, i could see i probably could have done the simple assembly myself. your cat will love it!!
The cat tree is not very stable. That is aggravating to the cat and the human. It is so unsteady that it won't stop wobbling while the animal is on it.
We have two wild kritters and they took to this immediately. One of them is 19 pds and he has no problem fitting on the top platforms or even occasionally checking out the little house. They are using the scratch posts extensively and leaving the furniture alone. Yeah! One of the top columns broke off when my son (he's 5' 7'' and 150 pds.) leaned again it. The plastic mechanism inside the column to hold the bolt is not designed to deal with people weight. My husband is a master at fixing things, so he glued and screwed it back together. The whole structure is "flexible" which is probably good so that is doesn't break under the antics of the cats.
I was so pleased with my purchase of a similar tree that I bought this one as a gift for a friend who always cat sits for me. It took a few days for her cats to take to it, but they are almost always on it now.

There are several questions that are frequently asked prior to coming to the island, so here is a kind of Q & A – which we feel may help those coming for the first time.
*How do I get from the airport to the island?
A Tavarua Island bus or van will meet you at the airport and transport you to the boat launch, where an island boat will take you out to the island. The van ride is about 35-45 minutes and the boat ride is an additional 20-25 minutes. The van or bus is air conditioned for comfort. Porters will help with your luggage and board bags. It is a good idea to have some slaps or thongs for this trip – especially at lower tides.
*Most guests arriving on the early morning flights will stop for a breakfast prior to coming to the boat launch. This breakfast is NOT included in the tour package.
*Arriving on the island – what do I need to do?
Our Island staff will carry all your luggage directly to your bures. You can unpack your boards and store them in our beachside racks or at your bure. You will need to come to the office to sign a waiver, accommodation sheet and give us an impression of your credit card. Every person is required to sign the waiver – and parents/ care givers can sign for their children. We accept Visa, American Express and Mastercard.
*What essentials do I need to bring?
Sun protection is key – so a hat, sunglasses and sun-screen are necessary and useful to bring. Many guests bring a lite board bag for transporting their board to and from the surf in the boats, and a waterproof bag for the necessary surf gear. We also recommend a simple first aid kit to keep in your bure. Our boutique carries most of the necessities should you forget anything at home.
*Is everything included in my booking fee?
Not everything. Your transport (van or bus) to the boat launch is not included – the round trip cost is $78USD and it will be added to your final invoice. Any purchases you make at the island bar, mini-bar, boutique and spa services are also not included, plus there is a 20% (VAT and HTT tax) that will be added to your final bill. (Prices subject to change)
Your accommodation includes three meals a day as well as use of resort facilities including fishing, SUP, soft top surfboards, kayaks, snorkel gear, gym, skate gear for half pipe, tennis equipment as well all the boats to and from the surf breaks.
We normally have an island photographer here that shoots guest activities both on land and in the water during your stay. These are great mementos of your vacation. Purchase of these photo packages are through the island photographer directly. It's a good idea to bring some cash for these transactions.
*Is there wifi on the island?
Wifi is available in the restaurant and deck areas. There is a $100 tax inclusive fee for unlimited usage for the week. Each additional device is $50 per family. The office also has a computer for use at $6 an hour and 0.60 per minute (tax inclusive).
*Do I need to bring or exchange money before coming?
It is always a good idea to have some cash on hand – but you do not have to exchange it. We accept all currencies.

Lets See in the late 90's During College there were many contenders Dirt Cheap Beer from St. Louis ---- Cheap, Cheap, Fun, Fun Special Export Stag Milwaukee's Best Light And what ever they served in the Nickle Pirchers on Tuesday and the Quarter drafts on Thrusday night
Goose Island Matilda I love Belgian beers, this one came sour and tasted a little soapy. I believe there was glass contamination, hence I count it as worst commercial beer served to me.
I'm not even joking here, but my palate cannot take any light beer...at all. For whatever reason I just cannot stomach drinking a light beer; whereas, pretty much everything else (aside from stouts) I've loved.
GAmeday. It's 7-11's brand and I think it's made by keystone. I couldn't even finish one.
I go to stores and buy singles so I have had a fair share of sampling, but I have never had a beer I can't finished because it is a sin to waste beer. But for worst commercial beer just about anything with a "Light" in it, i.e. Bud light, Coors light... Can't understand why my friend only orders Coors Light. I told him why not just order a regular beer and a glass of water, then mix the 2 together. Now you got 2 Coors Light for the price of one.
CAMO SILVER F'N ICE. By far the worst although, blats was pretty crappy. I guess I can thank some friends with a really cheap taste in beer. Or is it malt liquor?
