The Unexpected Exceeds Expectations
I have been on the road for 3 weeks and am now back in Boston for 10 days before hitting the road again. The tour has been great fun so far! I want to share with you a recent experience from my travels.
On the morning of Friday, January 20th, I drove 9 hours from Virginia to Hilton Head, SC. Getting there was a 4 hour diversion from my original Washington DC to Atlanta travel plans. But my PR firm arranged for a 30 minute television interview with the local independent station there. The opportunity seemed to justify the extra travel. After the long drive, I arrived at the studios at 4:45PM; 15 minutes before the scheduled start. The studios were pitch black. No one was there. Did I have the wrong date? The wrong time? After a few phone calls, I discovered that the studio messed up. Although they could not pull together a camera crew before I had to leave the next day, they said that would try to pull something together after my Atlanta gigs – on my way back to Boston.
Instead of getting upset about the mix up, I chose to accept it as an opportunity for something new to show up.
For dinner that evening, I chose a restaurant where I might be able to meet some locals. I sat at the bar — a nice open space. I started speaking with the woman sitting next to me, Kerrie. We hit it off and went for a drink afterwards. We agreed to get together and paint the town red when (if) I returned for the TV shoot. Now I had a reason to return; I was glad for the mix-up with the TV studio.
Fast forward to Wednesday, the day I drove back to Hilton Head from Atlanta. As I made the 4 hour drive, I got a call from Kerrie. She needed to leave town unexpectedly; she became an aunt a month earlier than anticipated. We would not have a chance to get together.
Again, instead of getting upset, I decided to find other opportunity.
Kerrie & I talked about going to a piano bar that just opened up the month before. I decided to go there on my own. I had an amazing time. Scott, the piano play is incredibly talented. The people in the bar were so much fun. I hung out there until 2AM having the best time. As the bar was closing, Scott asked if I would be interested in golfing the next day. I was, and so we did. It was a spectacular day on an Arnold Palmer designed golf course, which we had to ourselves. Heavenly. That evening I returned to the piano bar to listen to wonderful music and hang out with my new friends.
If I were in Hilton Head solely for the goal of doing the TV show, I might have been disappointed (we did tape the show upon my return). Or, if I gone back with the expectation of getting together with Kerrie, I certainly would have been disappointed – we never did meet up. However, in spite of all of that, it turned out to be the most fun I have had in a long time! New opportunities appear when we are not too attached to our original goals.

Heh quite the party person eh? 😛

You sound very happy with all the fun that happened spontaneously, and it felt contagious!. Like you found what you need it, perhaps not what you wanted. Although not what you had previously expected, you moved with fluidity and enjoyed a lot!. How envious of the piano party!!. In my case, I have experienced for a long time the particular challenge of discriminating between expectation and hope. At certain point they can feel like relatives, but not, they are not, that's the cheating bandit appearance. Especially, in relationships matters,I could recall several embarrasing experiences of high expectations that I created on my own, inflating perceptions up to the point of hollywood fantasy. And, I lament time gone in such an useless and unproductive way. Well, of course, trusting that I am never lost, and that everything is a learning experience, then, I can take all experiences as positive and, just move on…and maybe, even capitalise on it and create a master degree in fantasy for people suffering from boredom. The last bubble, however, has been so instructive in its long elusiveness, that has brought attached the bonus of great awakening and decision to just say enough of this limitation, and now, I want the real thing!. In October 2004 I took an international six hour flight to NY for work reasons, where I met a man and had an spontenous great three hour conversation that seemed so natural, warm, and comfortable. He contacted me later through e-mail expressing a mixture of acknowledgment and attraction, and the wish to meet again whenever I would go back. I responded with appreciation, gratitude, and also acknowledgement. In December I travelled again to NY, and although I justified it for work reasons, I really did not need to go, so I uncovered the underlying desire to carry on with more conversations with that man, and did not hesitate to take another six hour flight -although the illusion was that it felt like goal free-. We managed to meet up again over more coffee a couple of times, and also other day for dinner. It was great, although i had "sensed" that this time it took a while to agree on a meeting because he seemed to have many difficulties and excuses to find time. We talked about everything, very fluidly and joyfully, and even tapped into some confidentiality. But after that occasion, silence and no e-mail was the response. And I could not understand well. After a few months and some of my willingness to follow up communication, he revealed he was in a relationship and felt bad about the attraction. That annoyed me, why to hide such thing?. His relationship seemed to not exist during those long shared conversations. Why to keep it occult?. That annoyed me, but accepted it, and persisted in offering a friendship. After several months of spare communications, he confessed a month ago that he has a wife. The thing is that I had already realised I had been keeping expectations thinking that he might have a girlfriend, no committed relationship -in other words, I did not want to see-. But he had a wife!!. How he could hide a wife under a rut??. Was she a phantom??. Well, she has been for twelve months, until he decided to make her alive. It made me realise the importance of clarity and honesty in communication, from the very beginning. Assuming responsibility not just for what you ask, but also for what you don't ask, for being honest and express truth as to decide boundaries, and avoid any misleading confusion. Someone once told me that when French actor and singer Maurice Chevalier -the latin lover but in French version- met his great love, she went right through his big ego of successful lover and said very calmly: "You don't need to flatter me. Just tell me what is in your heart". So, I think that I succumbed to flattery, and because I have learned the lesson and gained a healthy dosis of mature eskepticism will be very prevented to flattery as opposed to communicating from the heart. Especially, because I have honestly looked at how I did not want myself to create heart-based relationships. Oh!, well, I said quite the contrary with my full mouth, but not with my full heart -simply, it was not true. I was scared of risking to be known, of intimacy, and prefered to fantasize in a bubble of flattery, because there is not risk at all in it. Now, it is very beautiful and unbelivable to realise that still the heart wants to remain vulnerable and open no matter what, that finds a way to wait until its longing is heard and embraced. That chooses faithfully to hope instead of to expect. That has infinite resilience, patience, and total faith in its capacity to believe, and to love, if given an opportunity. It is such a child!!. So, in that childlike quality of the heart is that I imagine that we have to tap if we want to be able to catch the soft knocks of opportunity that exists around. Because they may be subtle as compared to the louder flattering noise. There is no way I can make sense of all the turns, ups, downs, deviations, confusions, bends, stops, traffic jams, fogs, that can happen on the way to befriend and trust the heart. And better to not try to understand it, such a mystery!. As the Inuit say: "Every day there is your agenda, and there is the Mystery's agenda". But also Van Morrison tells the way beautifully in his song:
Let go into the mystery
let yourself go.
You've got to open up your heart
That's all I know.
Trust what I say and do what
You're told
Baby and all your dirt will turn
into gold.
Let go into the mystery
let yourself go.
When you open up your heart
You get everything you need.
Baby there's a way and a mystic road.
You've got to have some faith
To carry on…
It goes on, but too long… It's track 2 in "Poetic Champions Compose" album, following the introductory "Spanish steps" melody. It's a great wonderful incredible album. Could be listening to it for hours and days. My heart loves it.

Chemists in New Zealand have designed an anticancer compound which they believe could become a model for drugs capable of treating solid tumours, cancers which are notoriously difficult to treat with conventional drugs or with radiation. The compound contains the metal, cobalt, together with a chemical which can kill cells.
Cells found in solid tumours replicate slowly, which means they are not vulnerable to the normal anticancer drugs, which act by interfering directly with DNA as it replicates. Solid tumours are also difficult targets for drugs. This is because the blood vessels which feed them are distorted and so carry blood very inefficiently.
However, another effect of the ineffective blood supply and the pressure exerted by the solid tumour is that little oxygen reaches it. It is this hypoxic condition in the tumour which the New Zealand chemists have exploited in designing their drug.

Building began at the end of the 19th Century, with Havemeyer constructing several Spanish-style stucco mansions along the banks of the canals that flow into the Great South Bay. Many of these homes still exist today, though they have been renovated vastly. As usual in a summer colony, Bayberry Point was originally well known as a playground for the rich friends of the Havemeyers who commuted out from Manhattan and owned summer homes there. Today, the area known as Bayberry Point is known for its affluence and huge mansions that overlook the bay.
Also, there is St. Patrick's RC Church in neighboring Bay Shore and St. Mary's RC Church in neighboring East Islip.

Whenever I come across a really good product I always tell myself, -"I should get a few extras of this thing!"... cos once they're gone or they stop making them I kick myself for not having spares. How many times has that happened? Too many That's not going to happen with this Slopestyle Hoody. I've ordered a second already! Simply a great hoody.
Not only is this jacket super light weight, but it keeps you really warm! I was just in Colorado over Christmas and went snowshoeing and this jacket kept me warm the entire time. It also works to fit a hoodie underneath if need be. The fleece inside does a great job at keeping heat in, and the water repellent shell keeps you dry!
I absolutely love my Slopestyle Hoody Jacket. It respells liquids with a super soft fleece interior. It's surprisingly warm for how lightweight the jacket it. It has a nice big hood. Thumb loops to use if needed for wrist warmth. My favorite feature is the double pockets with a secure zipper. Nifty for storing important tidbits such as cards, keys while also giving you the ability to use the pockets securely for warmth or comfort.
I recently lost one of my Patagonia Slopestyle hoodys for a day and freaked out. I ordered a new one right away, and decided to keep it as a backup, because I wear my older one all the time. It's still a great jacket. The newest version is a bit longer, and fits more like a jacket than a hoody. Improved hood fit too. I'd say it runs long though, so it might not work for shorter peeps but great if you are tall!). I've been very happy with this jacket. I actually own three of these now. ...Yes, three.
Love this jacket!! Water beads off. Body, arms, and hood lined with soft and cozy fleece. Like the fact that the jacket isn't stiff and that it's longer in length (hits me below my hips). My only gripe is that it runs a little big. I'm normally an XS in Patagonia, but in this particular style, I could easily go down one size if it was offered.

Hummingbird & preying mantis: Guess who came to dinner?
By Gary Bogue
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010 at 8:03 am in hummingbirds, Preying mantis.

Hi Gary:
I looked out the kitchen window this morning and saw this praying mantis. I went out to take a closer look and saw he was chomping on a bee. I went in to get the camera and the little hummingbird joined him about the same time. Aren't they cute?
Robin van der Bijl, Clayton, CA.
Hi Robin:
They are cute … but the hummingbird is probably wise to stay on the other side of the feeder. I saw another photo once upon a time where a very large preying mantis was eating a very small hummingbird. It's a jungle out there! /Gary

As property prices continue to rise, some first home buyers find themselves in a situation where what was once a reasonable deposit on a half decent house has become not much deposit on something they wouldn't put their dog in.
I might be exaggerating (a bit) but I know for a fact some people definitely feel this way in the current market.
They've had their heads down focused on saving and when they come up for air they realise that prices have moved and they're not as close to their desired home loan deposit as they'd hoped.
Not that it's a new phenomenon. If I recall back to the early-2000s the same problem was facing first home buyers then as well. Actually, I was one of those first home buyers so people, I feel your pain.
Back then the answer I found was to see if I could get on the property ladder with what little deposit I did have.
In other words, rather than scrounging around for another 12 months to get to 10% could I actually get going with 5% straight away?
Back then the answer was yes and right now you can do the same so long as you hit some criteria.
As far as I'm concerned ASB and Sovereign are the big hitters in this department with a decent appetite for 95% lending.
Yes, the other majors are doing it too but the ASB/Sovereign policy is on the money, so to speak.
They'll want to see:
· That you've saved all the deposit yourself. Yes, Kiwisaver counts.
· Have low or no other debt.
· A decent amount of income from a long standing reliable source.
· That your credit and account conduct is good.
It sounds simple enough right, but you'd be surprised about the little things that trip people up.
Poor account conduct is one such deal killer which comes in many guises. For example, if you go into unauthorised overdraft regularly don't be surprised if your loan application comes back looking like a weed that's been drinking round up.
First home buyers - what does this mean for you and what would I suggest you do? Two things:
- Firstly, that you get some impartial advice on what you can do as it stands right now. See a mortgage broker and get some advice. You might get an approval which would be great. If not then at least you'll know what you have to work on.
- Secondly, do it sooner rather than later otherwise your current level of savings could end up turning into 2/5 of bugger all as house prices charge off into the sunset.

AFTER months of denial by Home Affairs officials that there is a shortage of blank passports, Home Affairs Minister Rosalia Nghidinwa has finally acknowledged the frustration of many Namibians waiting for passports.
"I would like to inform the Namibian nation through the media that this ministry is experiencing a temporary shortage of ordinary passports," she said on Friday.
Nghidinwa said that due to the shortage the ministry decided to issue alternative documents, known as brown passports, to those applicants intending to travel within the Southern African Development Community (SADC), including South Africa and Angola, the two countries where Namibia's handwritten Emergency Travel Certificate is no longer accepted.
The remaining stock of ordinary passports is reserved for critical travel, such as when a person needs medical treatment outside SADC. In such a case a doctor's referral must be attached to the application.
Nghidinwa said that new stock had been ordered as usual, but unexpected problems cropped up.
She did not want to say what these problems were, but said that the main stumbling block was sorted out and that they were waiting for the supplier to start with the production.
Some sources said the passport order was submitted late.
Nghidinwa said applicants are free to apply for ordinary passports at all offices, as such applications will be kept on a waiting list until the ministry has received new blank passports.
She called on people to apply for passports only when it is absolutely necessary and to collect them on time, as thousands of uncollected passports are piling up at the ministry's offices. Some passports reportedly expired while they were waiting for collection.
Another problem that the Ministry of Home Affairs is experiencing is a slowdown in the processing of identity documents due to mechanical and software problems affecting the equipment, said Nghidinwa.
"These problems have temporarily affected production of our IDs, thereby increasing the waiting period from the normal 24 working days," she said.
Technicians are working around the clock to ensure that the problems are addressed, she said.

The word "bracero" is derived from the Spanish word for "arm," as in a farm hand or labor for hire. It refers both to the guestworker program operated between 1942 and 1964 and to individual, legally hired Mexican farm workers who participated in the program.

There are other guestworker programs that authorize employers to import temporary workers (for example, the H-1B program for more highly skilled workers). Additionally, several visa programs have become de facto guestworker programs although this is not their intended purpose, such as the J-1 Exchange Visitor Program and the A-3, G-5, and B-1 visas associated with domestic workers. This report focuses only on H-2 workers because congressional proposals for large-scale guestworker expansion have generally aimed to replicate the experiences of the H-2 program.

A first career goal from 17-year-old Jonathan Williams sent Wigan spinning to a surprise 2-1 Carling Cup defeat by Crystal Palace.
The npower Championship side were already leading through Darren Ambrose's strike when rookie midfielder Williams crashed in a memorable second from the edge of the area.
Wigan, showing seven changes from the side beaten 3-0 by Manchester City on Saturday, pulled one back in stoppage time through former Eagle Ben Watson but Palace held out to secure a third-round visit from Middlesbrough.

Duncan, as managing director, will build Connect's London office in Clerkenwell, East London.
Connect, whose clients include Bentley and Bugatti, Birmingham Airport, Chiltern Railways and Tarmac, hopes Duncan will draw on his expertise in founding new agencies and innovating with digital media to widen the agency's reach and build its presence in the Capital.
In his most recent role at Spark44 he led the in-house agency as managing director and repositioned Jaguar as the "Alive' car brand.
Previous to founding Spark44, Duncan was chief executive of McCann's network agency MRM Worldwide between 2005 and 2009. Duncan also founded the digital arm of Ammirati Puris Lintas and also Interpublic-backed Zentropy Partners.
His other digital innovations include launching interactive TV with the BBC in 1993, creating the first online car configurator for the Mini brand in 1997 and the first internet banking service for NatWest in 2003.
Duncan said: "Connect is growing at a rapid rate and has a strong heartland of combining creativity with technology to deliver exceptional results.
"My personal experience is in delivering projects that do just that, so I'm looking forward to helping the agency take the next step and move to the bigger international stage."
Duncan will also retain his involvement with Alternative Genius, a company for elite creative professionals to share their ideas. He said it is a "tremendously agile creative experimentation community that will add value in my new role".Follow @LouiseRidley

All righty, they wants pics.
Mine isn't as pretty as the one above, but my winter project involves some remodeling, insulating and soundproofing. As the instigator of this thread, I give you this!
Mine is a '03 'Dodge' 2500 140" super high top. The partition above is right at the back of the sliding door. This gives 7' to the rear doors, which is not enough for an R1100GS- unless parked crooked. Hence the 'beak hole' in the partition. I'm leaving the partition where it is, its well fastened, and in a logical spot.
Beware that pink stuff is 'squeaky' even locked solidly into place, it can find ways to squeak. However, it does make a decent thermal insulation. There's lots of R's there. I'm tearing that stuff out, and going nuts with insulation.
Insulation is topic of much debate at sprinter-source.com Everyone's got their ideas. I may post a thread over there once I get finished up. I'd love to have a Geek-mobile, but I have a feeling, mines gonna be the cheap-ass geekmobile.
I've gone crazy with raam audio's dampening material, along with the shiny bubbles insulation and recycled denim insulation batts. We'll see how it works out. I have definitely got rid of the 'tin can' sound in the doors. I'm anxious to give it a road test.
I'm also adding wiring for lights and accessories, plus a house battery under the pass. seat.

News From 91.3 KUWS
Winter brings on new needs for northern Wisconsin flood victims
Cold weather has brought on a renewed rush for help from flood victims in the Superior and Duluth area. Mike Simonson reports.
People are turning on their furnaces for the first time since the June 19-20 flood, and finding out they don't work. Barb Certa-Werner at Superior Harbor House shelter says the needs are more than they can handle. "Just this morning we had three cases that we allocated some funds for. They lost all their winter clothing, their winter boots. They lost all that in the flood. They lost their water heater, their boiler."
Certa-Werner says they've had to turn people away from their homeless shelter.
Because of the oncoming winter, Harbor House and other non-profits are being pushed beyond their capacity to help flood victims.
Federal and state help continues to flow into the region, but Holly Sampson with the Duluth-Superior Community Foundation says that takes time, and people need help now. She says other communities hit by floods and natural disasters have immediate needs, but the long term fix can take two years. That's what they're seeing too. "This is a longer recovery then we originally envisioned."
The Community Foundation got a big boost this week when the Margaret Cargill Foundation awarded them $500,000 to help non-profit groups with this flood recovery.
Certa-Werner says the timing is perfect. "That is almost an understatement. We've never been so busy. Our food pantry here at the church almost double what we have been serving. Our homeless shelter was hit by the flood and our homeless shelters have been at capacity."
While Douglas County has tallied about $25 million in flood damage, northeastern Minnesota figures could exceed $200 million.

AS YOU raise your glass during the festive season, spare a thought for the world's vine growers. Many vineyard owners will be looking out over their dormant vines and wondering whether the new year will bring good fortune or doom in the guise of a mysterious killer nicknamed the black goo which stalks young vines.
In California the stakes are especially high. Over the past five years, vine growers in Napa and Sonoma Valleys alone have spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars replacing plants struck by another scourge, the root-destroying louse

NC State Hosts Annual Raleigh Relays
March 28, 2013
Live Results | Heat Sheets | Twitter Updates
RALEIGH, N.C. - The NC State track & field team will host the 2013 Raleigh Relays this Friday and Saturday, March 29-30, at the Paul H. Derr Track. Admission is free for all spectators.
The Wolfpack's annual meet features track & field athletes from 87 NCAA schools, as well as a contingent of prominent club and professional teams. Approximately 50 NC State athletes will compete in events over the course of both days, while also sending several relay teams to the track.
State's throwers had an excellent showing at the UCF Invitational last Saturday, where redshirt junior Nathaniel Williams won the men's discus with a 180' 2.00" heave.
Redshirt sophomore Tremanisha Taylor picked up her fifth-straight shot put title with a 50' 9.25" toss, while taking second in the women's discus after recording a 167' 1.00" measurement. Taylor has taken first in the shot put at each event dating back to her Feb. 16 victory at UNC's Kent Taylor Invitational during the indoor season.
At last weekend's outdoor version of the Kent Taylor Invitational at the University of North Carolina, freshman Alexis Perry won her first collegiate crown in the women's 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.35. Senior Paige Eley also took first place in the women's 100-meter dash, crossing the finish line in 12.34 seconds.
Free parking will be available in the Reynolds parking deck adjacent to the Derr Track.

Birds and Native Plants
Jon Butts
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Friday) | Listen to this entire show:
Our special guests on the Sustainable Living program were Ann Paul, the Tampa Bay Regional Coordinator for Audubon of Florida, and Troy Springer, president of the Suncoast Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society.
Ann talked about a few of our local birds that are looking for homes and how humans have changed their environment, creating the need of our help in putting up artificial bird houses. Bluebirds and Southeastern American Kestrels, several types of owls, plus many other birds Ann mentioned were those that need their boxes cleaned and inspected before nesting.
Troy talked about the importance of native plants and their benefits to wildlife in our area. He's also the owner of Springer Environmental, a local native plant landscape company.
The Florida Native Plant Society has chapters through-out the state, and so does the Audubon Society. Most of these Chapters have monthly meetings. See http://www.fnps.org and http://www.audubonofflorida.org.comments powered by Disqus
