Follow Your Dreams
Iyan and Claude first introduced this workshop in Holland, followed by France and Thailand. Now it is also offered in Bali.
For different reasons, many of us human beings visiting this planet for a short period of time have difficulties to imagine living our lives to its fullest, often because we don't really know what this actually means.
This retreat/workshop is designed to discover the hidden passions within, to draft a fresh road map and to learn how to reach our most valuable dreams.

Below is the poem entitled Stuck which was written by poet
bauer. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Ilene Bauer
Stuck within a sea of cars,
There's nothing you can do.
You crawl ahead as brake lights lift,
But there's no getting through.
Signs inform you of delays
But that won't move you faster.
How much time 'til you get home
Depends on the disaster.
So you drive and hit the brakes
Ad nauseam and wonder
When the traffic sea will part
And lift the cloud you're under.
'Til that time, frustration mounts
And tempers start to flare.
All this time's a'wasting
And you're here instead of there.
Hopefully, there'll be a break
And cars will start to flow.
Then, at last, you'll get to where
You'd always hoped to go.

Mustang MonthlyHow To Chassis Suspension
How to Correct Bumpsteer
As we found out, bumpsteer can be a serious problem on some modified vintage Mustangs. Here's how to fix it.
According to Pro-Motorsports Engineering, manufacturers of the bumpsteer corrector kit we installed here, bumpsteer is a front-suspension design flaw of every vintage Mustang. On a car with a mostly stock front-suspension, the problem might not be as apparent, and our experience has proven this difference to be true.
How do we know? Well, our tried-and-true '69 fastback project car has once again been the basis for our research. When we first bought the car in early 2003, it had a stock front suspension that worked adequately but could certainly benefit from a thorough rebuild. One of the first things we did was install all-new pieces from Mustangs Plus' line of Grab-a-Trak components. At that point, the car drove well, handled with considerably more composure than before, and generally felt much safer at highway speeds.
Next on the agenda was the installation of a Flaming River (FR) rack-and-pinion steering system. Flaming River's excellent cradle-mounting system and solid-feel, fast-ratio rack was a step up in steering-feel and overall competence. However, by no fault of Flaming River, our car was a true oddball application with its 351W engine, four-speed clutch linkage, and JBA "mid-length" header flanges that are quite close to the steering-system's mid-shaft U-joint. In short, our car isn't your average 289-with-stock-manifolds-and-an-automatic-transmission combination. Nonetheless, Flaming River came up with a cradle--now a production part--that allows the rack to fit.
The plot thickened when, for our Nov. '05 issue, we installed Blue Moon upper and lower control arms, which put us in a situation where the arms' modified geometry combined with the Flaming River steering rack's relatively low mounting point caused horrendous bumpsteer (see sidebar). Again, as with the Flaming River rack, this was not something that could be blamed on the Blue Moon parts. In fact, the control arms are about the most bulletproof suspension parts we've seen--seemingly built like bridge girders.
Along with the low-slung rack and the updated-geometry control arms, we also had a lower-than-stock ride height, which made the bumpsteer even worse. In short, our setup had the car all over the road when going over bumps, dips, potholes, and high-speed undulations.
So we got back in touch with Flaming River's technical department. Much to their credit, they mentioned that other customers had the same problem on their lowered cars. Note that we said "some," because not every FR rack-and-pinion setup mounts to a vintage Mustang in the exact same location, and not every car has a lower ride height that worsens bumpsteer.
After sending a few pictures to Flaming River showing the position of the tie-rods and how they angled up too much, the diagnosis was a serious case of bumpsteer. Flaming River immediately recommended Pro-Motorsports' corrector kit and told us that several customers had installed the same system with dramatic improvement. So after a trip to our local vintage Mustang front-suspension experts at Marlo's Frame and Alignment, we installed the Pro-Motorsports kit and achieved the improved result.
The car now goes straight as an arrow over all high-speed dips--something that's important to us as high-speed freeway road trips are common in this car. Bumps and potholes aren't nearly as scary as when the steering wheel was almost yanked out of our hands. Finally, note that the Pro-Motorsports' kit is available from Mustangs Plus.

Update: Fry has been tweeting his anger at the way he was quoted in both Attitude and The Observer, saying that comments he made in jest have been taken in all seriousness. While the hilarity of what he said escapes me, I suppose it is possible that he was attempting to be satirical – if that is the case further explanation than a 140 character outburst may be warranted. Having said that, Fry speaks in such a way that anything he says could be claimed as just a joke should it backfire at some time in the future. Then again, it is possible that wires were crossed and where the interviewer believed he was conducting a serious interview, Fry thought the complete opposite. To really get to the bottom of it we'd need a recording of the original interview, which I doubt will ever be available. My jury is still out on this one. What do you all think?
I realise I should be outraged by comments made by Stephen Fry in an interview in the upcoming November issue of Attitude magazine, but really it just leaves me with a powerful feeling of relief that I already dislike the man and all his pompously false posturing and attempts to inherit the crown of the infinitely more talented Oscar Wilde intensely. I dislike him almost as much, in fact, as the bizarre media consensus that has developed that he is some kind of "national treasure" for whom we are obliged to coo over every dull and inconsequential comment that comes out of his mouth or spews forth on Twitter. Granted I dislike him in the sort of way that your Grandmother might develop a sudden and irrational dislike for Eamonn Holmes far out of proportion to any crimes against humanity he has actually committed, but that doesn't make the dislike any less real to me. I therefore don't have to deal with the accompanying and crushing disappointment I always experience when people I respect come out with similarly stupid and misogynistic comments. Well, I say that. I may not be outraged, but I am pretty pissed off – if for no other reason that it annoys me that he is considered an authority on anything at all beyond "how to fake being a 21st century 19th century wit when you have nothing of any great significance to say about anything by doing nothing more than speaking in a particular tone of voice at all times and widening your eyes in a charmingly arch way."

Stage 1 Sunday, May 15
118.7 miles, South Lake Tahoe to Northstar-at-Tahoe
On this challenging, hilly circuit around Lake Tahoe, look for an early breakaway to score most of the KOM and sprint points. Then, just before the final climb to 7,200-foot Brockway Summit, the teams of general classication (GC) favorites Levi Leipheimer, Michael Rogers, and Frank and Andy Schleck should bring the race together. The winner will come out of the pack on the final, 1.5-mile uphill drag. The ending is perfect for gutsy risk-takers who can climb and descend without fear, such as RadioShack's Chris Horner, Sky's Simon Gerrans, and Jens Voigt of Leopard Trek.

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data.

United States ex rel. Thornton v. SAIC (False Claims Act Violations)
Date: 05/10/1995 (Date of Settlement)
Misconduct Type: Government Contract Fraud
Enforcement Agency: Treasury
Contracting Party: Treasury
Court Type: Civil
Amount: $125,000
Disposition: Settlement
Synopsis: SAIC was among three government contractors which paid "the United States a total of $230,000 to settle allegations [of False Claims Act violations] in which they allegedly failed to properly test electrical cables installed at a U.S. Treasury facility under construction in Fort Worth, Texas, that prints money… The United States alleged that subcontractors falsified the testing of certain power cables during the construction of the Western Currency Production Facility in Fort Worth. The improperly tested cables were ultimately replaced. SAIC was the prime contractor on the project. AlliedSignal, through its Bendix Field Engineering Corporation subsidiary, was retained to install certain hardware and AlliedSignal, in turn, awarded a subcontract to Lloyd Electric's predecessor, J.V. Clark Electric Co. Inc., to install electrical wiring and cables at the facility." According to a company spokesperson, SAIC's share of the settlement was $125,000.

Kris and I have signed up for the 2013 Ironman race in Mount Tremblant, Quebec on Saturday August 18, 2013. We're both very excited about this as it will be our first full Ironman race.
Although we have completed the 2012 Racine Wisconsin 70.3 Ironman race, the Riding Mountain Olympic triathlon and the Pinewa Olympic triathlon, we've never done a race of the Ironman distance (140.6 miles), and it's a little intimidating.
Since we don't currently belong to a formal triathlon club and don't know anyone who has completed an event as long as the Ironman we're pretty much left to our own devices when it comes to creating a training plan.
Kris has been researching different training plans available online and in book form. She finally purchased 'Your Best Triathlon, Advanced Training for Serious Triathletes', by Joe Friel.
After skimming over the first few chapters of this book one thing impressed me the most. This training program uses progressively longer and harder workouts and doesn't stop at the 80% of the distance most training programs do.
I'm not a fan of marathon training programs that only take you to 20 miles a few times before race day and expect that you'll be able to complete the final 6.2 miles at the race. So many of the people I talk to or follow on social media train this way and then hit the wall at mile 20 and can't understand why. No surprise there, if you haven't trained for it, how do you expect to be able to do it on race day? Personally, I think if you're training for a 26.2 mile race, you should be running 28 miles at least twice before race day. That way you know you can do the distance and you know the level of endurance (pain?) you have to suffer through.
The author goes to great lengths to simplify the science behind the training programs and explains why slower is better at the start. The first few chapters are more explanations of the symbols and codes he uses throughout the book. The actual training program don't start until chapter 4. The book doesn't focus only on the full Ironman distance. There are training programs for the Sprint, Olympic, 70.3, and full Ironman distances. They all follow the same principles, the only difference is the lengths of the workouts.
Training is broken down into six separate sections.
- Prep: Learning how to train properly
- Base: Develop basic abilities and building duration
- Build: Develop advanced abilities and build intensity.
- Peak: Tapering and doing 'minirace' style workouts
- Race: Rest and prepare to race
- Transition: Recovery.
Each Prep, Base, Build and Peak sections cover a number of weeks and have a workout and a rest period built into them. Depending on the length of time until your next race, you work backwards from the date of the race to get the starting date for your training.
Each workout period is designed to help you develop very specific areas. At the end of the workout period is a rest and test week where you scale back in training distance and intensity and perform a few tests so you can get an idea on your progress.
We worked back from our race date and calculated a training start date in February 2013. We scheduled in a few extra workout weeks in each of the sections and came up with a training start date of Dec 31, 2012. Nice time to start training, and as we all know, triathletes love crunching numbers and this start date makes it easy.
The other number we were able to calculate was the training hours. Although each section and each week can vary, if we do every workout and add the race time in, we will have worked out for 605 hours from the start of January to August 18, 2013.
If you don't have a calculator handy I'll do the math for you, it's an average of 18 hours per week for 32 weeks. Now there's a number that's scary.
We are currently logging up to 15 hours a week now and we know how much of a toll that takes on day to day life. With some weeks going as high as 25 hours this is going to take some logistics for both of us to be able to complete the required hours.
So, in a nutshell, that's the plan. Start Jan 1, 2013, train long, train hard and do the Ironman. We're also planning of doing a number of shorter triathlons next year as part of the training prep, as well as the Fargo full marathon and a few 1/2 marathons.
This is going to be a FUN year.
One thing I haven't added in here yet is our target time for doing the Ironman. We have up to 17 hours to complete it. I don't want to try and determine a time now before I know how well the training is going. If I say I want to finish it in 14 hours it would just be a guess and not based on ability, only hope, and those estimates are always woefully wrong. By the time I'm half way or more into the training I'll set a goal for myself. Under 14 would be good, under 13 would be fantastic, but we'll see.
As time goes on, I intend to add pages to this blog that explain what I'm doing, why I'm doing it and how training is going. It's not going to be my training bible, but more an overview of how it's going and thoughts on the training plan itself. Basically we're betting our whole A-race this year on the training manual, we'll see if it works

Hot-tea concessions and an on-site betting parlor. Waterproof fans and riveting competition. A bagpipe's hymn and a bishop's prayer.
Ten years ago this month, courtesy of my gracious editors, I chronicled one of sport's grandest events: the Ryder Cup.
No matter you knowledge of, or affinity for, golf, this is three days of must-see TV. The burdens of playing for team and homeland, rare in this ancient game, can turn major champions into weekend hackers and obscure names into national heroes.
So as the United States and Europe prepare to tee off Friday morning at Medinah Country Club in the 39th Ryder Cup matches, some memories from 2002 at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, England.
* The centerpiece of our coverage was U.S. captain Curtis Strange, a Hampton Roads native and then a Williamsburg resident. On the day Strange was appointed captain in 1999, reigning U.S. Open champion Payne Stewart and five others were killed in a plane crash.
Seventeen days before the biennial matches were scheduled to begin, the 9-11 terrorists struck. Less than a week later, the 2001 Ryder Cup was postponed until 2002.
"Everything will remain the same," Strange said then. "The teams, the site, the captains. This will always be the 2001 Ryder Cup team. Our hats, our gear will still say '2001.' And we will never forget why we're playing in 2002."
* Strange gave me unrivaled access during his captaincy. I flew with him via private jet from Atlanta to Newport News after he chose Paul Azinger and Scott Verplank to complete the 12-man U.S. squad. We sat in the study of his Kingsmill home as he revealed pairings on a chalkboard. He escorted me into the U.S.'s team room at The Belfry, complete with ping-pong and billiard tables, a Harley poster and a photograph of Stewart.
* Scotland's Sam Torrance, an eight-time Ryder Cup competitor, captained the European side. He and Strange are friends, and back in the day, they had hoisted a pint or two.
But Torrance was on the wagon for the Ryder Cup.
"I lost three stone, which would be 40-odd pounds," he told me via cell from Ireland. "I lost that in a year-and-a-half, totally in preparation for the Ryder Cup, because when you're the captain you want to look good. I didn't want to be this fat slob walking about, sweating everywhere."
* Given the Strange-Torrance friendship, and the lingering somberness from 9-11, this Ryder Cup had a distinctly different vibe than 1999's Battle of Brookline.
" I think we all understand that the Ryder Cup might have been going a little too far, over the edge," Tiger Woods said. "It's not a blood bath. We are out there competing and having fun. What happened in '99, I think the fans went over the top, the players went over the top, and the media went over the top ... and we all learned from that.
"It's not going to be the same. It's not going to be over the top. We all understand it's not life and death. It's terrible to say, but 9-11 reminded us all of that, and it's sad to say that it takes something like that to remind us that it is just a sport."
Reminder aside, Strange and Torrance wanted their players on edge.
"Emotion is why everybody likes to watch this event so much," said Strange, a two-time U.S. Open champion and now ESPN analyst. "We play as robots every day of our lives out here. We think we play better, and we do, when we hold our emotions inside. In the Ryder Cup, it's OK to let your emotions run freely. I think it can be detrimental to you, but it's still the way you play the game in the Ryder Cup. Because of that, the fans like it, the TV audience likes it, everyone in this room enjoys it because of that."
At Thursday's opening ceremony, a Nottinghamshire Police bagpiper played Amazing Grace, and the Bishop of Warwick prayed for those touched by 9-11.
* The 2002 Ryder Cup was the first for American Mark Calcavecchia since 1991 at Kiawah Island, where in singles he was 4-up on Colin Montgomerie with four holes to play. Calcavecchia finished triple-bogey, bogey, triple-bogey, bogey to gift-wrap a halve for Europe.
After his collapse, rather than watch other matches on the course, Calcavecchia vanished to the beach, where he sat in the sand and hyperventilated.
"I just took it too personal," Calcavecchia said. "I just felt like the weight of everything was on me."

(me on the right)
1. How do you manage to stay balanced and healthy in spite of the busy med school schedule?
Staying balanced in med school can be challenging but I manage to maintain my wellness thanks to a dog and a roommate who never leave me alone. You probably know them—Reggie and Michelle. My two loves keep my life fun and in perspective. Reggie makes me run every day and play fetch endlessly. Michelle makes me drink wine and leave the house. Thanks to both of them, my neurotransmitters are as balanced as they can be.
2. Why do you want to become an advocate and what three qualities will you bring to the job?
I want to share my excitement and gratitude towards medical school with incoming students. I don't want new students to just be excited that they're going to be doctors one day-- they need to be excited about the magnitude of awesomeness that is being a UNC med student. My energy, commitment and love for event planning will help instill excitement and a sense of community to incoming students.
3. What's the most important piece of advice you would give to an MS1 at the beginning of the year?
Look at the big picture. If you focus too much on the small tasks you get overwhelmed. Just remember… who do they call the guy who graduates last in his medical school class?
4. What is your favorite artery, organ, or nerve; and why?
The appendix – because it's just chilling out and being useless but can still cause you problems. Kind of like men.
5. If you could have any super power, what would it be? What would you have people call you?
The ability to eat whatever I want, in whatever amount I want, and not gain weight. People would call me "That B***h."
6. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Easy. Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches (if that counts as three things then just peanut butter)

Prince Charming on a white horse has got nothing on the bad boy on a motorcycle!
Hey there, First off, thank you so much for taking a moment to look at my profile. I will try to respond daily to anyone who writes me.

I like to be girly, but I can also be one of the guys! For example my nails are always done, I have 250 pairs of shoes, and I never go out without at least mascara on, yet I love the thrill of racing cars or riding my Gsxr or working on cars with the boys. As far as music goes, I like almost anything, from rock to country to rap! What I would love to find is a guy who gets that I work a lot and can be flexible with that! I have dated sweet guys so I know they exist and I know I want one! I would ideally like to find someone who loves cars and bikes like I do too! And if they were a fashionable country boy with a city boy edge it would be mr perfect!

No mandate for reclaimed water in South Tampa
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Two weeks after Tampaâs ban on watering of lawns went into effect, the City Council today rejected new measures that would mandate residents use reclaimed water for irrigation, and place large financial penalties on excessive potable water users.
However, city officials said they are considering such sanctions that they will introduce at an upcoming workshop on water late next month.
Dave Moore from the Southwest Water Florida Management District (Swiftmud), addressed the Council as well. The District, which encompasses 16 counties, including Hillsborough and Pasco, have limited lawn sprinkling to one day a week, as well as banning residential car and pressure-washing. He said people who can irrigate once a week, should not if they donât have to.
And Moore advocated that the City Council and other local municipalities should begin targeting high-end users.
A disappointment for years in Tampa has been the lack of participation with citizens using the cityâs reclaimed water system, which is only available in South Tampa.
The pipes reach more than 8,000 homes and businesses in that part of the city, but fewer than half, or around 31,000 households have signed on, which would allow them to bypass the current regulations banning irrigation.
That led Councilman John Dingfelder to propose a motion that he admitted, might sound harsh, but he said was necessary in these times.
Dingfelder said his proposal would also include a waiver for those claiming financial hardship. The costs to get reclaim vary, but in most cases costs several hundred dollars.
His ordinance would only be applicable to those who irrigate, and would give residents until the end of the year to sign up.
Council member Mary Mulhern, who lives in the area where reclaimed is available but doesnât personally irrigate, said she didnât like the sound of the proposal.
Usage has gone down dramatically in just the last two weeks in Tampa since the ban on lawn sprinkling went into effect.
But Dingfelder said itâs offensive to him that thousands of people in South Tampa continue to irrigate with potable water when another alternative is available. And Dingfelder, who opposed the ban on all lawn sprinkling, urged his colleagues to continue in that bold vein and join him in mandating that South Tampa residents use reclaimed water.
But the councilman failed to gain even one other vote, and the proposal died. Unphased, he then advised his colleagues to pick up on the suggestion by Swiftmudâs Dave Moore to begin to enforce financial penalties for high-end users.
City Councilman Charlie Miranda, who has been a leading critic of Dingfelder for not supporting the ban on lawn sprinkling, said he couldnât believe his ears.
Dingfelderâs second motion did not win approval, but city officials say theyâll bring up the matter of possibly fining heavy water users when they convene for a workshop with the Council late last month.comments powered by Disqus

Also, I made a mapselect account (confirmed by Lowrance/Navico E-mail)but it isn't recognized when I try to log in. I know I was logged in as limited user on my pc when I registered, could that affect it? - Thanks much for any help.. and this thread has been a tremendous resource, Dale
hey fendermon, i had a some problems with the first xog i had. it would barely lock on and took forever. i did a online return number thingy from ther web site and sent it in to them. they sent me a brand new one.

By Douglas Robson, Special for USA TODAY
PARIS Roger Federer's toughest battle in the final stages of the French Open is not across the net.
With Paris the only blemish on his sterling résumé and Pete Sampras' record 14 majors in view, it's the intangible, weighty and elusive chase of history that will be most firmly planted in the 27-year-old Swiss star's cerebral cortex.
"We're all nervous at this stage of the competition," says the 13-time Grand Slam winner, who is in the French Open semifinals for the fifth consecutive year.
If Federer can focus on tennis, he should be fine.
Second-ranked Federer is a collective 26-1 against the remaining semifinalists and hasn't lost a set in five meetings against his opponent today, No. 5 Juan Martin del Potro.
"I have a good record against him, but it doesn't mean a thing right now because it's too big of a match, too dangerous, and he's playing too well at this tournament to underestimate him," says Federer.
The other semifinal pits the unlikely pairing of No. 12 seed Fernando Gonzalez vs. No. 23 Robin Soderling, who rocked the tournament with his fourth-round slaying of Rafael Nadal.
Soderling, 24, had never been past the third round at any major before this week.
The 6-3 Swede is the in-form player, having punched past high quality clay-courters David Ferrer, Nikolay Davydenko, and, most of all, the formerly undefeated at Roland Garros four-time champion Nadal.
"Who can even guess what Soderling is going to do next?" ESPN analyst Darren Cahill says.
Gonzalez of Chile, the elder statesman at 28 and a French Open junior champion 11 years ago, beat No. 3 Andy Murray in the quarterfinals and has dropped just one set in the tournament.
The 2006 Australian Open finalist has a 4-3-career advantage against Soderling but is on a four-match winning streak, including their only two meetings on clay.
If Soderling stays confident and comfortable — he had no letdown against two-time semifinalist Davydenko in the quarterfinals — he should be able to dictate to Gonzalez's weaker backhand wing and perhaps keep his stirring run alive.
Gonzalez's fortunes depend on creative use of his one-handed backhand and finding space to unload on his forehand, which many consider the hardest in tennis.
Magnus Norman, the 2000 Roland Garros finalist now coaching Soderling, says the key for his player is not succumbing to the occasion.
"The most important thing is that he believes in himself and stays calm," Norman says.
Against del Potro, Federer has experience and a favorable matchup on his side.
Del Potro, 20, is in his first Grand Slam semifinal.
The 6-6 Argentine prefers to bash away from the baseline and change directions, which means Federer should get looks at forehands that will allow him to break open points. He also will use his slice to bring the lanky Argentine forward or lure him to the net with drop shots where he is less comfortable.
Past history indicates that Federer knows what to do: He dismantled del Potro in the Australian Open quarterfinals 6-0, 6-3, 6-0 and beat him soundly on clay at Madrid last month.
"His game is much of a problem to me," says del Potro, the youngest player in the top 10.
Federer finds himself in his 20th consecutive Slam semifinal with main rivals Nadal, Murray and No. 4 Novak Djokovic already switching into their whites for grass.
Despite the rash of upsets, Federer hasn't sailed through the tournament. He almost lost three of the four sets he needed in the second round against Jose Acasuso and then staged a serious comeback after falling behind Tommy Haas by two sets in the round of 16.
Against crowd favorite Gael Monfils of France in his last round, Federer kicked into gear with an efficient, sometimes dazzling, straight-set win.
"For the first time probably in the tournament Roger goes into a match knowing what to expect and feeling really confident," Cahill says.
And what of history?
Two more wins and Federer can complete a career Grand Slam, a feat only five men have accomplished, most recently Andre Agassi at the 1999 French Open.
Federer, a three-time Roland Garros runner-up, also would have a strong argument for best of all time since Sampras never went past the semifinals in Paris.
Cahill says that Federer is capable of channeling the "perceived pressure" around him into an opportunity, not a threat.
"He gets it, he knows it, he admits it," Cahill says. "He's comfortable in his own skin knowing that everything everyone is saying is true and that this is his chance to step up and win this title."

With his marvelous sense of the absurd, Lewis Carroll's whimsical, fantastical tale delighted children and adults when it was first published in 1865 and has since become a treasured classic of literature.
(P)2008 Random House, Inc.
"Don't you just LOVE Jim Dale!"
This classic children's tale with its quirky characters and imaginative action is brought to life by the absolute genius of Jim Dale's narration. I honestly think the man could make a mathematics textbook sound exciting!
So Many Books, So Little Time
"I wish I could give Jim Dale a 10!"
I'v read this story many times but when I saw that Jim Dale was narrating it I just had to buy it and listen. It was worth every penny and minute. Though the story is one of my favorites from childhood, listening to him read the story was a whole new experience. He is quite simply astonishing. Like he did in his narration of the Harry Potter books, he uses so many unique and wonderful voices that you know which character is which without being told. If you already love this book, you'll love it even more hearing him read it and if you do not know the story you are in for an incredible treat.
Jim Dale brings Lewis Carroll's characters to life as he reads through Alice's Adventures In Wonderland. Jim Dale has a different voice for every character. If you liked the book, you will love this Audiobook. Fall down into Wonderland. Get this book!
Jim Dale does a beautiful read, makes Alice
The Read
All of his voices and character changes
Not just for kids
Fabulous narration by Jim Dale. Great story, of course. Enjoyed this tremendously. Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much Audible.
"Oh what a wonderful world!"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Jim Dale narrating it was just icing on the cake. I grew up watching the disney version. So I asked myself, "why not give the real thing a listen?" The only complaint I have was the story was a little hard to follow, considering all the abnormal goings on in the world of Wonderland. I think another listen would help one understand all the goings on. Overall, a great choice for sure and a strong recommendation from this audible reader.
I'm the managing editor of the Fantasy Literature blog. Life's too short to read bad books!
"Superb on audio"
I've always loved this story and Jim Dale's audio version is superb. My family enjoyed listening to this on a recent car trip.
My name is Kira and I work as a librarian in utah. I love all kinds of books, but especially like fantasy and mystery.
"Great version of a classic"
Yes, I loved how Jim Dale narrated it. I've never been able to get through this book until now.
I liked the Mad Tea Party with the March Hare, the Doormouse, and the Mad Hatter. It
Mad Hatter. The character's personality was truly captured.
"The story wouldn't be what you've expected"
I read this Alice story as a shortened book for children published by Walt Disney. Because as a child my favorite book was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, I wanted to read the original story and see what it's like. If that is your reason for getting this title as well, I guess you'll find this original, unabridged version somewhat different from your expectation.
The story is not so simple. I got the impression that Alice's adventures are a little bit meadering. There's no connection between what happens to Alice in the wonderland. Well, you may think that that's the point of this book. Why else it would be called "wonderland?"
Jim Dale's excellent performance is shown in some parts where the narrator has to sing. If a less capable person had done the narration, it would have been really awkward.
If not the story, Jim's great voice acting will be worth listening to this book.
just myself
"Jim Dale's Alice is just terrific"
I loved him in Peter Pan, I adore his rendition of Alice in Wonderland. Jim Dale has a marvelous narrator's voice, and is excellent at making and maintaining unique character voices. His voice is very comfortable to listen to and yet distinct, and is a large part of what makes the TV show "Pushing Daisies" so delightful. I know there are many versions of classic books, and I have not listened to any other Peter Pans or Alices, but I can highly recommend this version, and am thinking seriously of looking into the Harry Potter audio books, mainly because others have mentioned that Jim Dale also did those.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Are you ready for a XXX miracle on the 17th green? Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce that it is serving as the exclusive distributor of ZB Ventures' Tiger's Got Wood, a sure-to-be-controversial, politically incorrect comedy from AVN Award winning writer-director Cash Markman that purports to blow the lid off the sexual indiscretions currently rocking the worlds of sports and celebrity. Shot in 16x9 widescreen HD, this timely feature parody is shipping to distributors nationwide today and will begin streeting Wednesday, January 27th, 2010.
Under Markman's able direction, affable newcomer Jonny Slim steps into the golfing shoes of controversial sports star ''Tiger Would,'' the world's highest paid professional athlete and the man credited with revitalizing professional golf. He's joined by a carefully chosen cast that features gorgeous blonde Diana Doll as his wife, and such comely supporting players as Krissy Lynn, India Summer, Jazy Berlin, Madelyn Marie, Heidi Mayne, AVN Award nominee Ryder Skye and Richelle Ryan. And of course no feature porn comedy is complete without Evan Stone, and the multi-AVN Award winner hits a true hole-in-one here as the suave stud who helps Mrs. Would discover that turnabout is, indeed, ''fair play.''
He may have more major career wins than any other golfer, and be the youngest and fastest player to win 50 tournaments on tour, but according to Markman, that's nothing compared to Would's track record in the sack. Whether he's swinging into a miracle on the 17th green with India, flying two birdies at once with Heidi and Ryder, scoring a hole-in-one with both Richelle and Krissy, or getting his short game on as Madelyn or Jazy compete for his affections, Tiger proves he'll try just about anything once in his search for the perfect pussy, even if it means risking both his marriage and his standing in the sports world - and becoming the butt of countless late night talk-show jokes.
In addition to a story ripped from today's headlines, Tiger's Got Wood delivers a rich and varied assortment of sexual adventures, including interracial two- ways and three-ways, with many of them shot on plush outdoor locations. A scorching lesbian romp from Madelyn and Jazy and hilarious non-sex cameos from Hall of Fame legend Shanna McCullough and Slick Rhodes (as delightfully deadpan newscasters) frame this spirited couples' romp.
With over 800 credits on his resume, writer-director Cash Markman is considered by many to be the most produced writer in the history of adult films, and from the acting and the sex to the witty news commentary that frames the story, Tiger's Got Wood is immediately recognizable as the work of a genre professional.
T-off is only moments away, so get a good grip on your driver and prepare to divot, because you won't want to take a mulligan with Tiger's Got Wood.

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and have decided to triple boot my old HP G62 (~4 years old) with Mavericks, Ubuntu, and Windows 8. My HP was previously running Windows 7, but in the process of trying to boot Ubuntu onto it, I deleted Windows 7 and now the computer is only running Ubuntu.
I'm not ultimately concerned about Windows 7 being gone forever, but I want to know how I should go about triple booting this computer. Should I start by booting Windows or OS X first? And how can I make a USB boot stick for either of these?
I would like to find a way to do this without using my MacBook and just using my HP as I don't want to download anything to my new computer that might contain a virus.
Note: I know I most likely will have to partition my hard drive for this, but when I look in GParted, it says that my
/dev/sda5 is nearly full when I know this is not the case as I completely cleared the hard drive before installing Ubuntu. I am not able to create an unallocated partition larger than 4 MiB, and I am unable to deactivate
/dev/sda5, which is listed as "lvm2 pv" file type and "ubuntu-vg" mount point.
Did I not install Ubuntu correctly? I believe my
/dev/sda1 is where Ubuntu is installed because the file system is "ext2" and the mount point is "/boot".
