TravelPod Member ReviewsAlam Indah Bali
Our stay at Alam Indah for 4 nights was wonderful. We opted for the Hibiscus deluxe villa overlooking the valley and it was gorgeous sitting out on the day beds located on the verandah watching the mist sweep over the valley in the early hours of the morning. It was also the perfect place to park yourself in the evening with a cool drink watching the sunset. We didn't mind that it was further out from the centre of Ubud as we rented scooters and it was just a few minutes away if you go via the monkey forest. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, the Balinese are consummate hosts and the grounds were impeccably kept and we felt as if the villas were dotted all around a lush, abundant tropical garden. The outdoor bathrooms were also wonderful overlooking the jungle and nothing else. They have an affiliated restaurant and spa which were well worth visiting. Would stay here again without a doubt.

The serenity of Ubud and Lombok
This is our third trip to Bali so in a bid to avoid the hoards of loud,drunk Aussies in the usual tourist traps of Kuta and Legian, we head straight for the serenity of Ubud. While its certainly a tourist hub there are still pockets of calm tranquility that you can escape to.
Our stay at the Alam Indah was just the ticket and the two …

Thank you Greg for the proposal outline. I have tucked it away for reference on some other topics.
The BMWs listed in the signature lines of many of the posters are older and out of warranty. How many times does a new member post that they are new to the MOA and their new to them BMW is a bike out of warranty. By nature and necessity the forum traffic is full of shade tree DIY mechanic sorts. As a result my belief it is not the segment of the MOA that would be the target audience for support, ideas of what is needed or wanted in such a position.
I was struck by this bit in the middle of Greg?s earlier post.
"I will leave you with this: this is fundamentally a volunteer membership driven club. At the end of the day it's the club the member's want either because of their involvement, or the lack thereof. Anyone can throw stones, but it takes work and thought to stack them together into something useful".
Again I am neither pro or con with regard to the idea of a liaison. However, I am more than a little bit surprised that for all the talk, that when presented with an outline of how a proposal might be framed the first post after appears to be a lets fold up the tents and go home kind of post. If you can not deal and negotiate with a bunch of deluded masochists that gather together to discuss how to fix these German machines that break; how are you going to deal with the Germans that make them to sell to us?

It never crossed my mind that someone might take it even further:
This makes absolutely no sense to me since the safety risk is so great. I see it as a lactivism-related issue because I do feel that people who do really outrageous things while nursing and then insist that it is a lactivist issue make things worse for nursing moms. This mom is talking about how she's going to feed her baby when and where her baby's hungry. That feels to me like using pretty common lactivist rhetoric in a way it was never intended to be used. I think this has the potential to affect all nursing mothers because she's been given a bit of a forum on the news (and I know this is a local web page but the link comes up in the top stories on the front page of cnn.com) and there are a lot of people who will put the Denny's mom or the Ronald McDonald House mom and this mom in the same basket.

TTC my second and his first!
1st off, props mama for nursing a 2yo!!!
but..."same difference"? really? a full grown adult and a tiny toddler do not have the same bone strength with regard to a car accident/air bag deployment. thats common sense. i mean, the car comes with all sorts of stickers warning against rear facing seats and ppl weighing less than 100#!!!
i'm surprised to see that this mama is a bit older. 14 yrs ago i was 17 with a very HN newborn and yes, i drove while nursing/slinging on more than one occasion. i recall one evening in particular where i pulled over literally every few miles, got ds to sleep, put him in the carseat and within minutes he was up and screaming. i was a very inexperienced driver and was near on having a panic attack. never mind being a new mother...however, 14yrs and one more nursling later, i am horrified that i did that.
i dont think this mama should go to jail for 180 days, but i were i a judge i woul ddef force her to watch crash scene videos and talk to parents who lost kids that rode unbuckled.
best wishes to her and her family.
ETA: about using bf'ing as an excuse...the child certainly appeared old enough to be able to learn "nursing manners" ie, we dont nurse while the car is moving. here is (fill inthe blank bribe) for now and we will have nursies at home...

I often wonder if that's what people think I'm doing when I get into the front seat of my car with my baby in a parking lot. A lot of times she doesn't nurse well while we're in a store; too much to look at! So I relax in the drivers seat and nurse and listen to the radio before I pop her in the seat and get on my way. I've gotten some sort of puzzled looks before, but anyone curious enough to watch me surely figured it out pretty fast.
This breaks at least 2 laws in my state, the car seat laws and the law that children under 13 cannot ride in the front. Probably also coule be prosecuted as child endangerment and wreckless driving.
NOT a breastfeeding rights issue. Breastfeeding rights only apply, IMO, when there is no added danger to the child.
Not only was she breastfeeding, she was talking on her cell phone!
And then she says in the video(paraphrasing): it would have been the same thing, if I had been in an accident without her in my lap, and the airbag had been deployed, it would have been the same thing. : WHAT? So she thinks that the airbag hitting her would be the same thing as the airbag hitting her small toddler, who was sitting that much closer to the airbag, and probably would have suffocated. Wow. Just wow.
Mia, married to my since 2006, mama to D (5/06) and M (8/09).
I have a super high needs kid when she was baby any drive lasting longer than about 10 minutes resulted in having to pull over. It was hard and stressful but not worth risking the safety of my babies life.
I nursed for two and half years in a variety of strange places and situations but I always managed to avoid it being a life risking event.
I agree that this is NOT a BFing Rights issue. It IS a SAFETY issue.
My mil used to tell me how she'd breastfeed dh (who nursed till 18 mos) while driving. I was in shock! But that was in the 70's and laws weren't as strict now. (And ppl didn't think???)
I'm appalled. I've never driven and breastfed. That's just not safe. Hello?!
Please see my Community Profile! about Asperger's Syndrome!
She compared walking down the street to driving. I think that speaks for itself.
While she's talking on her cell??
And she thinks she's making a statement about extending breastfeeding???
Wow. How on earth do you respond to such poor decision making? State-mandated parenting classes? Loss of driving privileges? Required viewing of car safety videos?
Just wow.

expecting the surprise of our lives Fall 2012!
I am bothered by the fact taht she was on the phone. I think nursing while driving isn't always the best choice, but I certainly don't want laws against it. I think it should be up to each person to decide if they need to do so. It's all about weighing the risks versus the benefits. Maybe she was going very slow and for only a short while. Maybe baby was screaming and crying so hard that would have been distracting. HEr other children have to go to school. What if she didn't have anyone else to drive them? Should her kids miss school?
Anyway, the point is, she could have brought the kid a snack - as in, one that doesn't have to operate the vehicle.

TTC my second and his first!
We're not talking about an infant though. The child in the video was clearly at least 18mo. My nephew is probably around the same age and my sister would never take him out of his seat to nurse him, even in the back seat (and I wouldn't allow it in my car either). She waits until we get to wherever we are going or we pull over if its a long trip.
Anyway, the point is, she could have brought the kid a snack - as in, one that doesn't have to operate the vehicle.
I feel this is less a breastfeeding rights issue, than a parental rights issue. If something terrible happens to the child, then the authorities can go after the mother. Otherwise, I think the government should stay out of parent's business. I certainly wouldn't want the government dictating how I parent, ie...must vaccinate or put my children in school.
There are risks and benefits to vaccinating and risks and benefits to not vaccinating. But what are the risks of using a car seat and what are the benefits of not using a seat? Vaccines alter your child's body and never go away. Carseats don't.
And well, I've always believed that education is a parent's responsibility (whether they trusted someone else to it or not) so I'm probably biased on that one.
Carly [29] + DH [27] + DS [9]

I don't think you can compare those with car seat usage.
There are risks and benefits to vaccinating and risks and benefits to not vaccinating. But what are the risks of using a car seat and what are the benefits of not using a seat? Vaccines alter your child's body and never go away. Carseats don't.
And well, I've always believed that education is a parent's responsibility (whether they trusted someone else to it or not) so I'm probably biased on that one.
I agree with your point about the kid being older. She should have brought a snack. I am thinking of my dd at 6 weeks old, who had a heart condition that made too much crying possibly unsafe for her. We still had to go to many doctors appointments. I was blessed to have someone else usually available to drive us (I could sit in the back and lean over her carseat and nurse her) but I do know that there are circumstances in people's lives that cause people to make choices that may seem crazy, but everyone has to weight the risks and benefits for themselves. I do not want the government any more in my parenting than they already are.
This woman didn't say anything about medical need though, all she said was "if my child is hungry, I'm going to feed my child". So in her case, I'm going to assume that the risks WAY outweigh the benefits here. Especially considering that she implied that she does it often and while on the phone, no less.
Carly [29] + DH [27] + DS [9]
TTC my second and his first!
The risk is of emotional harm to your child left in the car seat to cry hysterically. Or, as in my dd's case, if she was left to cry too long, her oxygen saturation levels went way down, and could cause brain damage. And not using a carseat doesn't guarantee harm. There is only harm if you are in an auotmobile accident. nak sorry
And I know not using a seat doesn't guarantee harm! I totally agree there because I hate when people use the same reasoning for NOT using one ("I never used a seat and I'm okay") but if you never used a seat and never got into an accident, of course you'd be okay. And again, if you are on the phone, driving, and nursing all at once, I would think you'd be more likely to cause an accident than anyone else. So this is different than you sitting in the back seat nursing your babe that needs to be nursed NOW, kwim?

New Boston Village Administrator Steve Hamilton is warning motorists those long lines of traffic are about to begin again. While the traffic snarl seems to have gone away, that was only a lull in the project. It is all about to return.
Hamilton said starting the week of July 21, the north lane of Rhodes Avenue (52 east), from Glenwood Avenue to Lakewood Avenue, will be closed, all traffic will be deferred to the south lane.
This is the part of the project known as phase two, which Hamilton says will continue for five months.
Hamilton said cleaning and televising existing sewer lines will be done. The village has been increasing efforts in replacing their sewage lines, after getting notice from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that any further stalemate of replacement could present exponential fines to the Village.
Hamilton is adamant on enforcing proper road behavior while construction is going on.
"I just want people to know that getting upset with road rage, sitting between an intersection when the light is red and stuff like that, will be dealt with accordingly," Hamilton said. "If you are in a construction zone, any charges are double fined. We have the signs out. Speeding, running red lights, any crime will be dealt with a double fine. I just want everyone aware that there are workers out there and we want to keep them safe, too."

As U.S. panel prepares to meet with deadline looming, tensions rise. Can its members reach consensus?
May 11, 2006

Super Mario 64
Review by bob742omb
"Great for any N64 collection"
Super Mario 64 was a different kind of game, something new to the Mario series. Instead of it being a "go to point A to point B" It featured a full 3D environment, giving players choices on which stages to do first in certain areas. Other Mario games in the future would follow in this concept, such as Super Mario Sunshine or Super Mario Galaxy. The game certainly isn't a masterpiece, but great in anyone's N64 collection.
Gameplay: 8/10
As mentioned earlier, this game gives players more freedom of how to progress in the game, instead of making players complete certain stages in order the entire game, similar to how the Mega Man games played out, which was certainly different for a Mario game.
The control of this game is quite good, the responsiveness of Mario during gameplay is astounding, as he follows your control spot-on. The issue, however, is the camera. Yes, the player can control the camera, but it isn't a fully-functional 3D camera. Instead, the camera moves at different zooms and angles, making it hard for the player to pinpoint jumps and to see what's ahead. Flying with Mario can be difficult as well, but will not prevent the player from progressing.
The objective of the game is to collect a certain amount of stars to progress in the game. Stars are much like tokens, and the player requires a certain amount in order to reach different areas that give access to more stages. Thankfully, the player does not need to collect all of the stars in order to reach the end of the game, as it would make the game much more difficult to complete and make collecting all the stars an unnecessary chore.
The difficulty of the game is really not that much. Some portions of the game are hard to get through, but nothing to write home about. The horrible camera can make certain parts of the game more difficult than they really are. The fights against Bowser are much too easy, and I feel that more could've been done to them. Each of the 3 fights have a little twist to them, but the objective is the same: throw Bowser against the spike balls around the platform to defeat him.
Killing common enemies is usually just as simple as stomping on them. Other ones, however, require different approaches, such as with Whomps, which must be "ground-pounded" on from behind when they begin their attack. Other enemies, such as Sparkys, can not be defeated, so the player must avoid them.
Story: 3/10
The game starts off with Mario receiving a letter from Peach, telling him to her castle for some cake. It is revealed later Bowser is at it again, and he has taken Princess Peach prisoner! Not all that original or exciting, as most of the other Mario games follow the same general story. The only twist is where he has hidden the Princess.
Graphics/Sound: 8/10
For its time, the graphics are good. The various stages in the game are detailed quite nicely, and it's amazing just how much the N64 can show on one screen. They didn't too a good job on the water, as the water's surface just looks like a bed sheet. Don't get me wrong, the underwater levels look excellent.
Mario himself looks just like... Mario. Nothing too special there, but they pulled off Bowser terribly. He doesn't look that menacing, and his face is just silly.
Animation for Mario is a bit off. In the way he runs, his legs move very quickly, but Mario doesn't move as quick as they do. The animation for other characters was pulled off great, except for Bowser. His animation style was awfully clunky, and more suited for a robot rather than the King of Koopas.
The music is amazing in this game, with plenty of catchy tunes and with great execution as well. You'd never hear this good of music on the NES, and possibly the SNES. I can't really describe specifically how good the music is, so I recommend that you listen to some from this game.
The sound effects are pulled of nicely. It's almost like how you would hear them in real life.
Playtime/Replayability: 4/10
Completing the story should not take too long, maybe a few hours. Collecting all of the stars, on the other hand, will take you a very long time. It's not worth it, all you get is a special sparkly jump and the ability to fly around the outside of Peach's castle. It could also make you never want to play the game again.
After collecting all of the stars in this game, I will never play this game again. Don't get me wrong, this is a great game, but after having to painstakingly collect every last one of them, I just can't play it again.
Final Recommendation:
This game is worth buying, as it introduced a new style of gameplay, and is great for any N64 game collection.

Unity for the First People of Australia: one great success story
One of our great success stories is UFPA. Speaking to its founder, Ernie Bridge, recently he said that the first cheque they ever received was $12,000 from BrightSpark Foundation back in 2002. This was at a time when no other funding was available. Ernie passionately believed that diabetes in the Aboriginal community was rife and growing at an alarming rate. While diabetes was being medically treated, he felt no attempt was being placed on early intervention and prevention. He felt greater emphasis was needing on lifestyle changes.
"Type 2 diabetes is always preventable," says Ernie and he decided to do something about it.
He approached BrightSpark for funding to establish a Diabetes Management and Care Program to assist Aboriginal people with a propensity to diabetes. Standing personal surety and armed with the BrightSpark cheque, the UFPA's Diabetes Management and Care Program was born.
Initially the aim was to increase sporting activity, explain the causes of diabetes, change eating habits with a strong focus on influencing the type of foods sold at the local stores like Coke and fatty foods, and to establish a management and care program.
The program has been an outstanding success since inception.
Today the UFPA has grown into a strong, focused and determined group. Their "Roadmap Towards Better Health Program" is an opportunity for Indigenous people and communities to engage with the "big picture" of Indigenous health. It encourages Indigenous community people themselves to take on the responsibility for their future health.
The intervention and prevention approach includes a Wellness Program that has the following components:
- Building Blocks for Health
- Training of local carers
- Diabetes education (one to one)
- Nutrition/Dietary Program
- Health information sessions
- Breakfast Program in schools (Foodbank WA)
- Edible Garden program (EIN Foundation)
- Elders Program
- Linking in with other Primary Health Providers
- Happy Family Program
- Dental care
- Eye Assessments
- Community based Health Assessments
- Community profile database
- Motivation Workshop
The BrightSpark Foundation is excited and inspired by what the UFPA has achieved. They are one of our many success stories: Ernie's "spark" of an idea combined with our resources, has now grown into a program that has significantly improved the health and wellbeing of many WA children.
We wish them continued success in the future.

Yemen kidnappers release three Filipino sailors
More News from Agence France-Presse
SANAA—Yemeni tribesmen have released three Filipino sailors kidnapped more than two weeks ago east of Sanaa, a security official said on Wednesday.
"The three Filipinos have been released, thanks to a tribal mediation, and without answering the demands of the kidnappers," said the official requesting anonymity.
The kidnappers had demanded the release of one of their own from jail.
"They are on their way to Sanaa, under protection, and will be handed over to the embassy of their country," said the official.
The three were kidnapped on March 20 in the central province of Marib as they travelled to the far-eastern Mahrah province from which they were to embark on their ship.
The kidnappers belong to the Bani Jabr tribe and are demanding the release of a relative, who is in prison in Sanaa for a "serious criminal offence," according to a then interior ministry statement.
More than 200 people have been abducted in Yemen over the past 15 years, many of them by members of the country's powerful tribes who use them as bargaining chips with the authorities.
Almost all of those kidnapped were later freed unharmed.
The three Filipinos were kidnapped few days after a Swiss woman teaching at a foreign language institute in the Red Sea port of Hodeida was abducted by gunmen from her home on March 14 and moved to the eastern province of Shabwa, according to the interior ministry.

HoopsHype Merchandising rumors
After the first two seasons of splash, the Brooklyn Nets have begun a tumble down the NBA's overall sales list. The Nets fell out of the top 10 in team merchandise sales for the first time since moving to Brooklyn, according to a release from the NBA. They also did not have a top-15 selling jersey for the second straight year, after Deron Williams's #8 jersey ranked sixth in 2012-13. (Williams led the Nets in jersey sales last year as well, ranking 22nd overall.) The Brooklyn Game
James' multimedia company - Springhill Productions - is in the midst of a huge fiscal year, from the renewal of its first TV show "Survivor's Remorse," to its new upcoming sports show for children on Disney XD, to its prime-time game show that's in production. And, of course, James' No. 23 Cavaliers jersey is the NBA's best seller. Cleveland Plain Dealer
"My business is doing very well," James said. "But I think more importantly it's what I do on the floor. And what I do on the floor, as a citizen off the floor, being a professional, everything that I have, I approach it that way, and that's the benefit of it for sure. I give it all to my friends and to all the people who love the way I approach the game." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"For me, my main thing is about playing basketball," James told the Northeast Ohio Media Group, following his 16-point, seven-assist outing against the Nets. "Obviously I love my partnership with Nike. We've done so many great things, but it starts with performance and all of us at Nike we perform first and we let everything take care of itself. "For me to be able to have those numbers just means that fans still love what I do on the floor. They appreciate how I approach the game and everything else benefits from that." Cleveland Plain Dealer
Commissioner Adam Silver thinks it's "inevitable" that the NBA will one day take after European sports and have sponsor names on jerseys. With the NBA back in London for its annual regular-season game, Silver said that's one area where the league can copy international sports. Most major European clubs in soccer and other sports sell advertising space on their shirts. Silver said "I do think it's inevitable" for jersey sponsors to be adopted by the NBA, but that "exactly when it's going to come, I'm not sure." Oregonian
Ten-time NBA All-Star LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers secured the top spots as the NBA's Most Popular Jersey and Team Merchandise, respectively, based on overall sales from adidas and NBAStore.com from October 2014 through December 2014. This marks the fifth consecutive time James has claimed the No. 1 position on the list and his second such honor as a member of the Cavaliers. At No. 2 on the list is Golden State Warriors sensation Stephen Curry, whose successful season propelled him from the No. 7 spot. Rounding out the top five are the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant (No. 3), the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant (No. 4), and the Chicago Bulls' Derrick Rose (No. 5). NBA.com

First, Walmart lists the doll as being "Anthony Carmelo." And second, the doll isn't Carmelo Anthony at all. It's Jeremy Lin, who last played for the Knicks in 2012.

Kevin Durant hasn't yet played this season, recovering from a broken bone in his foot, but the Oklahoma City Thunder forward continues to make moves off the court.

The National Basketball Association has just scored a grand space at Joseph Moinian's 545 Fifth Ave. on the southeast corner of East 45th Street. Sources in the NBA confirmed that the organization that represents the teams has finally settled on a dramatic new space for its fans to stock up on gear and mingle with players. According to a description on 42stories.com, the first floor of retail has 76 feet of frontage along Fifth and another 80 feet on East 45th. The second floor runs 149 feet on East 45th, which is a heavily foot-trafficked commuter side street to and from Grand Central Terminal. New York Post
The Wizards promotional schedule is coming out this week, and there's one important date you should circle on your calendar immediately: Jan. 31.

And you've got to figure that many of the people who went crazy for Jayson Werth garden gnomes would want a Gortat action figure. Washington Post
Fan experience, interactivity and advertising on jerseys were among the topics covered by Onexim Sports & Entertainment President Irina Pavlova during a wide-ranging one-on-one interview at the 2014 Game Changers conference in New York City. Pavlova said she would like to see jersey patch advertising become a regular sponsorship feature in the NBA. "I personally think we're missing out on the huge revenue stream on the jersey patch advertising," said Pavlova, whose Onexim Sports & Entertainment holds a 45 percent interest in the Barclays Center. "I'm hopeful that that is something that will come up in the near future for a new discussion. The problem is, there are 30 teams in the league, everyone has a different financial situation, market, different willingness to spend and it's just hard to get everyone to agree on the same thing." Sports Business Daily
Jason Collins fell asleep Saturday night without a team. On Sunday, he became the Nets' most publicized player, the first openly gay athlete to play in an N.B.A. game, although one on a 10-day contract. On Monday, inquiries by those eager to buy a Nets jersey with Collins's name started to multiply. On Tuesday, Collins jerseys will go on sale at the N.B.A.'s retail shop in Manhattan and at NBAstore.com. Collins's jersey number of choice is 98, in honor of Matthew Shepard, a gay college student from Wyoming who was murdered in 1998. But on Sunday, when the Nets acted quickly to get Collins in uniform for a game against the Los Angeles Lakers, they had to resort to a generic jersey the team travels with in case of emergencies. New York Times
That there's Derrick Rose, modeling the special sleeved jersey he and the rest of the Chicago Bulls will wear on Christmas Day as part of the NBA's annual Christmas mega-holiday hoopstravaganza. Every player on each of the 10 teams participating in the Dec. 25 quintuple-header will be rocking the sleeves-and-big-logo look, and while the tops themselves still strike my eye (and maybe yours, too) as fairly awful, the new holiday-themed commercial the NBA has cooked up to promote the day's games and showcase the Adidas gear still stands up pretty darn well: Yahoo! Sports

01.06.07 - By Geoffrey Ciani: The last time boxing fans saw Andrew Golota in the ring was over two years ago. That, of course, was back when he challenged Lamon Brewster for the WBO heavyweight championship. It was a short night for Golota. He was caught with a thunderous shot just nine seconds into the bout and never recovered. Two knockdowns later, the fight was halted after just 51 seconds.
It appeared to be a career-ending loss, but boxing is a sport which champions the comeback. For the second time in his career, Andrew Golota is making a return to the squared circle after a lengthy lay off. At 39 years of age, its easy to write Golota off entirely. After all, he never lived up to his potential in his prime and he fell short of the mark in his previous comeback. Why should things be any different this time around?
Could this third run finally land that elusive championship for the Polish pugilist? Will three times be a charm? Or is Golota a train-wreck waiting to happen? Whatever the case may be, chances are fans will be tuned in to find out.
Golota has always been a charismatic fighter with a loyal fan base. In addition to his loyal following from fellow Poles the world over, Golota intrigues the casual fan by bringing excitement to the ring. Hes unpredictable, has good boxing skills, and has shown a tendency for mental breakdowns in the ring. When fighting inside the rules, Golota has been one of the best talents the sport has seen in the past twelve years.
At times, however, hes been known to bend the rules. Whether hes using his head as a battering ram, or using his opponents balls like a speed bag, or if hes just doing his best Dracula impersonation, it doesnt matterthis simply adds fuel to the fire of intrigue and amplifies his enigmatic persona. People want to see what hes going to do next, and you never know whats coming.
Considering that Golotas never won a championship, his popularity and marketability is an absolute marvel.
Golotas best days physically are certainly behind him, but Golotas problems were always of the mental variety. In his previous comeback, it appeared he had overcome many of the mental shortcomings that cost him earlier in his career. He gave IBF champion Chris Byrd all he could handle for twelve rounds without losing focus. Byrd was considered one of the most frustrating and talented fighters in the division, and yet, Golota was determined and relentless. Ultimately, he was awarded a draw for his efforts in a bout many felt he had won. In his subsequent bout against WBA champion John Ruiz, he also made a great showing, having twice dropped Ruiz en route to an extremely controversial loss.
That Golota gave two champions a run for their money, arguably even winning both bouts, is something that has been largely overlooked in the aftermath of the Brewster debacle. These bouts seemed to signify that Golota was a mentally stronger fighter than he had been in his physical prime. Even the Brewster blowout illustrated this to a certain extent, for his desire to fight-on seemed strong; there was no quit in him, unlike what we witnessed in his bouts with Michael Grant and Mike Tyson.
Even a semi-successful comeback by Golota should add some much-needed excitement to the division.
On June 9, in just over a week, Golota will square off against Jeremy Bates. The bout will take place in Katowice, Poland as a part of the under card. Incidentally, the main event features fellow Polish pugilist, Tomasz Adamek, who will be making his cruiserweight debut when he faces IBO champion Luis Pineda.

Please help a novice sailor choose a boat.

Thanked 26 Times in 24 Posts
Rep Power:
Trailerable sailboats have undergone a major change in design in recent years. It's getting increasingly difficult to find a good, used tow vehicle with a powerful engine, so manufacturers are finding ways to build lighter trailerable boats that can be towed by less powerful tow vehicles. Older 25' boats, like the Catalina 25, which is a very nice boat for its size, are heavier, and that weight not only makes them harder to tow, but it also makes them harder to launch and to rig. The newer design Catalina 250 is lighter, and easier to tow, launch and rig.
Also, within this size range, a relatively small size difference can make a big difference in the boat's weight. A Catalina 22, for example, can be towed by a mid-sized suv, and can be launched and rigged by a single person, but a mid-sized suv can't tow a Catalina 25, and it is much more difficult for one person to launch and rig it. (although it can be done with the necessary rigging.)
The bigger, older boats have nicer interior accomodations and generally sail better, but, unless you plan to keep it in a slip, you'll find that you won't sail it very often, because it is so much work to tow, launch and rig it.
So, if you plan to trailer-sail, then you should either look for a smaller, older boat in the range of 20-22', or a newer boat up to 25' with a more modern, light-weight design. If you plan to keep it in a slip, you can luxuriate in a bigger, heavier, older boat.
When you're buying real estate, the 3 most important concerns are location, location, location. When you're buying a boat, the 3 most important concerns are condition, condition, condition. I've seen many old racing boats in superb condition, and visa versa. The same is true of cruising boats. It isn't about how they're used. It's about how they're maintained. It is true, however, that you have to look more carefully at old racing boats, because they're designed and built just strong enough to withstand the stresses, and no stronger, and because the've been subjected to maximum stress much of their existence. But, people are still enjoying good old J24s, Capri 25s and similar racers just as much as their fathers did, a generation ago.
Don't be in too much of a hurry to buy a boat. Look at a lot of them. Volunteer to crew on different boats, so you can see for yourself how they behave.
I learned to sail a boat with a tiller, and, although it might sound a little fanciful, I liked to think that the boat "talked to me" through the tiller. Whenever the boat started to labor, it became apparent first by increased tiller pressure. When I felt too much tiller pressure, that told me to start looking around for the cause, to optimize the boat's performance. Sometimes I could reduce the pressure by increasing the tension on a sail control, like the traveler, or a halyard or outhaul or backstay adjuster, or to make some other adjustment. When the tiller pressure started to lighten, that told me it was time to start thinking about easing all the sail controls. My present boat is a 35 footer, and has a wheel, and I've learned to like it too, but the wheel doesn't talk to you as clearly as the tiller. If you'll learn to listen to what a tiller is telling you, I think you'll be a better sailor for it.

Evansville residents still have time to lend their VOICE to vision for city
Next information-gathering session Sunday afternoon at Nativity Church
EVANSVILLE - The last few information-gathering sessions are being scheduled for Evansville VOICE — the citizen-driven community vision program coordinated by Leadership Evansville and Mayor Lloyd Winnecke.
Local residents are invited to sessions at these dates and times:
n 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Nativity Church, 3635 Pollack Ave. The meeting will be hosted by HOLA, a Latino advocacy group, and it will be facilitated and led in both English and Spanish.
n 4 to 6 p.m. March 21 at Memorial Baptist Church, 645 Canal St.
Another public session is being planned for Eastland Mall in the spring. Additionally, high schools in the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. will host private sessions of Evansville VOICE in the upcoming days.
Data from previous forums continue to be transcribed. There have been more than 20 forums so far.
Once the information-gathering sessions are completed, Evansville VOICE organizers will schedule a few more community meetings which could be described as debriefings.
"My hope is that by the beginning of April we would be through with the initial information-vision gathering sessions. Then we would plan to go back out in the community and talk about what we heard, and what topics kept
bubbling up," Leadership Evansville Executive Director Lynn Miller-Pease said. "Part of going back out is we want to make sure we heard it right, let the community hear what we believe we heard."
Miller-Pease said the Evansville VOICE report will not sit on a shelf. As the process winds down, "we will be looking for strategic activities we can do together," she said, adding that she's hopeful organizations such as the City Council and Convention & Visitors Bureau find the information useful.
The city's young people "have been excited to be heard" during previous VOICE sessions, Miller-Pease said, and ideas they have expressed are aimed at making Evansville "a greener, hipper community."
Graduates of Leadership Evansville have facilitated, recorded and transcribed Evansville VOICE sessions. Miller-Pease said the initiative has been "a huge undertaking" for volunteers with her nonprofit organization.
"But it's a labor of love," she said. "One of the neatest things that has happened is the people who came to the initial sessions were so interested in what was going on happened that they asked to be trained as facilitators."

Lower Tension

If he wanted something different because his arm was bothering him with RPM at 58 (which is too high for poly anyway), then you should have given him RPM at 44lbs. I had a client who insisted I string is RPM at 58 and not lower. When he came back to get restrung we consulted again and he indicated he was having some arm soreness after playing sometimes. Told him to just humor me one time and let me string it at a different tension. I strung it and gave it back to him without telling him what it was. Just told him to go play and see what happens. He came back happy and I told him it was 44lbs. He was shocked that 44 wasn't causing him to hit everything out. He actually played better with the lower tension and no more arm pain.
I never suggest normal players to play with poly anywhere in the 50's. Always 40's (mid to low). Nobody believe it until they try it. It's like everyone's been sold on the idea that if it's not strung at 60, you'll hit out.

While one should certainly be appalled by the findings of the U.S. Senate intelligence committee's report on CIA torture, one should not be surprised. The CIA, after all, is a spy agency charged with obtaining confidential information about possible threats to national security. That it would actively avoid and impede White House and congressional supervision about its techniques for obtaining information should also be no surprise. A spy agency needs to get information from unwilling sources, and it is disingenuous to think that such information is always obtained over a cup of coffee in a relaxed setting. When it resorts to torture, as the CIA did on numerous occasions, political oversight becomes an obstacle to carrying out the mission.

Ancient Greece expressed much of its wisdom inside its myths. The Greeks didn't intend these to be taken literally or as historical, but as metaphor and as archetypal illustrations of why life is as it is and how people engage life both generatively and destructively. Many of those myths are centred on gods and goddesses. They had gods and goddesses to mirror virtually every aspect of life, every aspect of human behaviour and every innate human propensity. Moreover, many of the gods and goddesses were far from moral in their behaviour, especially in their sexual lives. They had messy affairs with each other and with human beings.
The star of Bethlehem, which shines in the Gospel of Epiphany, has long puzzled me. The ancient pagans of both East and West believed in oracles, dreams and prophetic utterances. They believed that gods communicate with people through nature and that the stars are part of this mysterious language as they may predict events to come. Thousands of years before Jesus was born, sign interpretation became a specialized art. Most of it was obviously fraud. Popular forms of divination were rejected by the Jewish faith, although it admitted the existence of some God-inspired individuals and a few God-sent dreams.
Despite widespread public opinion that people involved in politics are only in it for their own personal gain, most likely the exact opposite is true. Most candidates in provincial and federal elections stand for office with little likelihood of winning, let alone snagging a front row spot at the public trough. Those candidates are aided by scores of helpers and donors who have even less to gain – maybe some new friends or the feeling of contributing to a cause in which they believe. Nevertheless, when one gets closer to the wheels of power, a transformation often occurs.
Pope Francis, who has already broken new ground in his outreach to a suffering humanity, has put the weight of the Catholic Church behind a new humanitarian movement to rid the world of nuclear weapons. The pope sent a message to the recent conference in Vienna, attended by more than 150 governments, to advance public understanding of what is now called the "catastrophic humanitarian consequences" of any use of the 16,300 nuclear weapons possessed by nine countries.
In Matthew 3.17, we read these words about the moment John the Baptist baptized Jesus: "Suddenly there was a voice from heaven, 'This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.'" The Baptism of the Lord is a profound moment, not only for Jesus, but for each one of us. It speaks to us of the reality that Jesus was and is the beloved Son of the Father. As Christians, we share in the deepest possible level with that identity. We too are now beloved sons and daughters of God our Father. It is easy to say that this idea of being God's sons and daughters is true. It is another thing to live this truth in our lives.
The call for parishes to move from maintenance to "the reinvigoration of the missionary calling" is not new. But, in Canada at least, it has never been put forward with as much fervour and detail as one finds in the Canadian bishops' statement, The Missionary Dynamic of the Parish Today. (See story on Page 7.) A "profound conversion" is needed in how parishes are run and parishioners need to move beyond their comfort zones to spread the faith. Nevertheless, most parishes are not sitting idly by waiting for everything to be made right at the parousia. They are beehives of activity. Some activities might well be termed "maintenance"; many others, even if not explicitly missionary, have a mission component.
Kindness is a word that evokes one of two emotions. Warmth and feeling society is on the right path. Or a sneer that being kind means you are weak and a pushover. I recently misplaced my car and house keys. Tore the house apart. No keys. But it was time to go. I could not call anyone because my phone – of course – was locked in the car. So my dog and I walked down to the corner gas station to call for a cab. We stood outside and waited. And waited. No cab would take my dog. I could feel tears and called out and asked if anyone eating breakfast in the gas station's restaurant was going near where my dog's daycare was.
I dread the holidays. It's supposed to be the happiest time of the year, but yet we know that more people attempt suicide during the holidays. We all want the perfect holiday, with the perfect tree surrounded by professionally wrapped presents. What we usually get is something closer to a crooked tree with half the lights out, and some presents wrapped in newspaper because we ran out of the pretty stuff. We want to host the most talked about Christmas party, but not because it led to news cameras and a police chase.
The beginning of each new year is marked in Catholic churches around the world as the feast of Mary, the holy mother of God. While this feast is generally a quiet one, its peacefulness betrays the excitement that surrounded the declaration of the Council of Ephesus in 431 that Mary is mother of God, Theotokos. The movement that led to that declaration might be seen as having begun with the Edict of Milan in 313 which legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire and brought an end to the era of persecution of the Christian faith.

Neurons Mirror the Diametric Mind
By CHRISTOPHER BADCOCK, PH.D - PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
Added: Sun, 22 Apr 2012 20:05:33 UTC
Schizophrenics amplify neuronal mirroring, autistics reduce it
One of the most important findings of modern brain research was the discovery of mirror neurons. First observed in monkeys, these are neurons in the motor cortex which fire to produce an action but which are also seen to fire at a much lower level when the subject observes the action carried out by another actor. In people as in monkeys, it seems that seeing someone else perform an act is reflected in the mirror neurons of the cortex.
Empathy is another type of mirroring, and has been linked with mirror neuron activity. Indeed, here there is a difference between the sexes: women averagely show greater mirror neuron response than men in accordance with their overall tendency to be more empathic. Deficits in mirror neuron activity have also been found in autism, in line with the parallel finding that autistics have deficits in empathy.
Initial studies also reported lower mirror neuron response in schizophrenics. This is exactly what you might have expected because feeling empathy for someone implies accurate and appropriate reflection of that person's feelings and emotional state. Both autistics and schizophrenics symptomatically misread people's minds, so finding similar deficits in mirror neuron response in both groups hardly seemed surprising.

How thinking about death can lead to a good life
Thinking about death can actually be a good thing. An awareness of mortality can improve physical health and help us re-prioritize our goals and values, according to a new analysis of recent scientific studies. Even non-conscious thinking about death – say walking by a cemetery – could prompt positive changes and promote helping others.

Lenten CSF
New Orleans, LA – Are you devoted to Louisiana fish during Lent? A group of Lake Pontchartrain fishers are testing the waters during Lent for a fishermen's version of the nationally popular model, CSA (or Community Supported Agriculture). That's where consumers share the risk with farmers by purchasing a season's worth of products at the start, then pick up their box of products each week. In this case, the Crescent City Supported Fisheries is a CSF (supporting fishermen). Shoppers order seven weeks of fish from the fisherman's daughter Chris Gerica, then pick up the box of fillets and crabmeat each Thursday at the Market in order to serve fish on Fridays at home. Here's the catch: If demand outstrips supply, then we will see fishermen collaborating more. To find out more, log onto wwno dot org. For the Farmers Market Minute, this is Richard McCarthy.
For more information, visit the CCSF Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=667499070&ref=name#!/pages/Crescent-City-Supported-Fisheries/166610276721784
