Comments about LG Side-By-Side Refrigerator Water Filter:
I have used a LG original LG Filter (LT500P/5231JA2002A) produced by Cuno Water Group on LG LSC26905TT Refrigerator since June 16, 2012. And in July 2014, my refrigerator did not make ice, but water tasted ok. I realized that I have not changed filter for two years that make filter clogged and pressure was low that leading to no ice produced. Once I replaced filter, it recovered to produce ice. That means my filter does worked well for full two years. What a high performance! I replaced old filter with other maker produced filter but it contained many residues and white particles. I will buy original LG made filter.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Portland, OR (PRWEB) January 21, 2014
Vigilant Systems, the first company in the U.S. focused specifically on Information Governance and Information Life-cycle Management, announced that it recorded exceptional growth in the fourth quarter of 2013, far exceeding internal projections. Information Governance, or IG, is the set of multidisciplinary structures, policies, procedures, processes and controls implemented to manage information at an enterprise level, supporting an organization's immediate and future regulatory, legal, risk, environmental, and operational requirements.
"Vigilant Systems is poised to grow significantly in 2014 and we're very excited to introduce additional services and products throughout the year," said Peter Sternkopf, President and CEO of Vigilant Systems. "Information Governance (IG) and Information Life-cycle Management (ILM) is a highly-specialized industry that requires very special and talented individuals to be successful. We believe Vigilant Systems is uniquely positioned to provide exactly what our clients require in meeting their IG and ILM goals in alignment with their business objectives."
Sternkopf founded the company understanding that many mid-sized enterprise clients don't have the resources, time, and expertise internally to address their governance, risk, and compliance requirements. With their combined years of experience in business process and operational excellence, information technologies, and litigation support, Sternkopf and his team applies unique and specialized experience, expertise, skills, relationships, and tools to provide tailored services and solutions for their clients.
"Vigilant Systems was founded with the vision of being a very different kind of company. We only work with the best and brightest individuals in the industry to provide our clients solutions that meet their short and long-term information management needs," Sternkopf explained. "Our goal is to create a culture of compliance, because policies alone won't protect businesses- sound Process, Practice, and Perpetuation will. Putting all the pieces in place… is our objective"
About Vigilant Systems
Vigilant Systems' mission through value-driven delivery is to provide organizations with an accountability framework in the creation, storage, use, valuation, archival, and destruction of information assets. This includes developing processes, roles, standards, and metrics to ensure effective use of information to enable an organization to achieve its information management goals streamlined with its business objectives.
The company's Information Governance Professional Services and Products support unified information governance:
The company focuses on the strategic and technical needs of their clients; both in long term advisory roles where they help define and deliver on information governance and management best practices, as well as short-term project-based requirements. The team at Vigilant Systems has worked in all industries throughout Fortune 500 organizations, as well as medium-sized and start-up organizations. Together they form an information life-cycle management advisory council that can understand an enterprises landscape and help them achieve their information governance and business objectives.

Am Worlds - Day Two
As the Great Shuffle takes place, it's time for mini golf!
Day 2 of Singles competition at the 2011 PDGA Amateur World Championships in Rochester, NY is over!
While the PDGA staff finished compiling scores and working on new pool assignments for the Advanced and Advanced Masters divisions, the mini disc golf finals were held outside the host hotel Wednesday evening.
Starting just outside the front door Kenny Glassman, Dylan Horst, Cody Greenfield, Don Altmyer, and Larry Entz showed off their mini-throwing skills and wound their way around the sidewalks along the hotel, over the walkway spanning the Genesee River, and finally ending outside the Stock Exchange Restaurant which was hosting the evening festivities.
The first hole was a relatively short one and gave each mini golfer a chance to air it out and re-adjust their technique to mini throwing. Hole two was a longer throw with the basket perched on a wall. After seeing the first approach go sailing past the mini basket and over the wall, the other guys took a more conservative approach and threw low wormburners that skittered along the sidewalk into the wall. Hole four separated the men from the boys in terms of risk taking. This hole was on a section of the walkway across the river that split left and right. The tee was on the left branch of the path while the basket was on the right branch. Players had the option of throwing about 60 ft directly across the gap over the water or taking the safer but longer route down and around the path. Two of the five went over the water with one actually hitting the top of the basket. The gallery went crazy!
Another amazing shot came on the last hole. After throwing a great but wide drive, the mini golfer was left with a tough shot from the middle of a bush. With the basket perched on top of the wall with nothing but the Genesee River behind it, it was a tremendously risky putt. Crouched in the bush, the guy absolutely pured his putt. Nothing but mini chains! The crowd went even crazier this time!
In the end, two mini golf champions were crowned. Congratulations to Amateur Men champion Kenny Glassman (IL) and Senior Men champion Don Altmyer (SD). Don is a repeat mini golf champion having also won the 2009 title at the Kansas City Worlds. He even used the same mini Wednesday night as he did in KC!
After Wednesday's singles action on the courses, and the shuffle of pools, there are some exciting contests to keep an eye on:
Kenny Glassman is looking to add a 2011 World Amateur Singles title to his Mini Golf title as he goes into Thursday's rounds leading the Advanced division at eight-under par along with co-leader Dan Hastings. Pete Ulibarri is only a throw behind in second place, with Cameron Colglazier, Spencer Wilken, and Billy Dunne all tied for fourth place only a single further throw back at six under par.
Patricia Neprud Mehls and Carol Silverthorn are all tied up as the leaders in the Ladies Advanced Grandmaster division, with Donna Griest only three throws back in third place.
Another really tight race to watch is in the Men's Advanced Senior Grandmaster Division with Frank Ammon and Ron James tied for the lead with Michael Whipple only a single throw back in third, Mike Wulbecker another single throw back in fourth, and four other players all within only 5 strokes of the leaders.
Steven Jacobs holds a single stroke lead over Luke Morstad in the Junior Boys 19-and-Under division with Zach Ashenbach four further strokes back in third place.
Scores are also tight in the Junior Boys 16-and-Under division where Justin Lammers holds the lead only one throw ahead of Andrew Coggin in second place, two throws ahead of Kars Larson in third place, and four throws ahead of C.J. Hopper in fourth.
Other divisional leaders include:
In Advanced Women, Melynda Apton had a great round today to give her a seven throw lead over Paige Bjerkaas and Michelle Fraser who are tied for second with Nicole Cazares only a single throw back in fourth.
Rick Reichard is leading the Advanced Masters division by 6 strokes over Jeffery Perrigo with Tim McCall a throw back in third place, and Christopher Krailes a further throw back in fourth.
Elfriede Eberly leads the Advanced Masters Women by four throws over Dawn Osborne in second and another four throws over Joy Staats who is in third place.
In the Advanced Grandmasters division Robert Martinek leads by three throws over Mark Hauser with Mike Brayton a further 5 throws back in third place.
Brick Dowell leads Nicholas Duran by only two strokes in the Junior Boys Under-13 division but with a big gap separating them from third place held by Austin Krise.
In the Junior Boys 10-and-under division, Ian Krajna is in the lead by fifteen strokes over his closest competitor Conall Stillwagon who holds an additional 18 strokes over Isaac Meeder in third place.
There are three Junior girls playing at AM Worlds and despite the fact that they are the only competitors in their respective divisions, they are still having a blast playing together. The young ladies played their third round today finishing on the par-57 Ellison Park course in Rochester. In the FJ1 (19 and Under) Junior division, Breanna Vogel shot a 66 which brings her total score to a 209. In the FJ3 (13 and under) Junior division, McKensie Eckeberger shot a 78 giving her a total of 254. And in the FJ1 (10 and under) Junior division, Lacey Brugler shot a 96 bringing her to a 288 total score.
Last, but certainly not least, are the elder statesmen of the tourney - the Advanced Legends division. These gentlemen are at least 70 years young, and as one of the most physically fit competitors in the entire tourney, Pete May of Augusta, Georgia is currently leading the division by an astounding 26 throws after only two rounds of play. Paulie Bagwell is in second, David Siersdale is in third, and Art Elliot is in fourth place.

Photographing product samples for Dane Ash including booklets from the Chippendale Creative Precinct.
I have been recently thinking about how best to create sound effects for card games, specifically games like black jack, poker and so on. There are two areas of sound effects I've been interested in; the sounds of the cards themselves, and sounds of the chips on the table.
Istock.com has featured one of Spencer Sternberg's tracks as Free Audio of the Month which means it can be downloaded for use in commercial projects for the month of November for FREE.
Suspense music, intrigue, thriller score or mysterious underscore, are all words to describe pretty much the same thing; music that creates tension. Audiences of suspense productions need to feel uncomfortable, disturbed and at times terrified. How does a composer establish a sound of tension in their compositions?

Summer Sounds Can Rate High on Hazardous dB Scale
ROCKVILLE, Md., April 2003 -- The American Speech-Language- Hearing Association (ASHA) is sending a nationwide wake-up call to the American public about the growing danger of hazardous environmental noise levels. A new multi-media public service campaign has been launched to raise awareness and educate the general public about hazardous noise and its impact on hearing health. It is estimated that 30 million Americans are exposed to dangerous noise levels on a regular basis, an increase of 10 million from just a few years ago. Further, as people engage in outdoor recreational and home maintenance activities in the spring and summer months, they are increasingly exposed to common hazardous noises.
"We have become a noisy society and that noise is slowly robbing us of our hearing," says Glenda Ochsner, ASHA president. "On average, our parents and grandparents developed noise-related hearing loss between the ages of 40 and 50. Today, because of increased noise levels, many young people experience diminished hearing as early as their teens and 20s."
With warm weather comes exposure to outdoor and recreational sources of noise, such as lawnmowers, power tools, motorcycles, outdoor music concerts, or firework displays. Both the amount of noise and the length of time you are exposed to noise determine its ability to damage hearing. Measured in decibels (dB), sounds that are louder than 85 dB are potentially hazardous. Hearing loss often occurs gradually, becoming worse over time. For this reason, many people do not become aware of their hearing loss until it is too late to avoid permanent damage.
"By taking a few precautions, you can greatly reduce your chances of hearing loss and improve your overall health," says Ochsner. "Limit your exposure to noisy environments when possible, alternate a quiet activity with a noisy one, and use hearing protection devices, such as ear plugs, when operating loud machinery, such as lawn mowers or power tools."
Also, children's toys and household appliances, such as blenders, dishwashers, hairdryers, and vacuum cleaners can all exceed 85 dB. Ochsner advises that consumers check the dB ratings of products before purchasing them.
In addition to damaging hearing, research continues to provide data on the effects of noise on health. It is now known that noise can cause stress- related health problems. Noise elevates blood pressure, causes fatigue, reduces sleep, increases frustration and anxiety levels, increases breathing rate, disturbs digestion, and causes difficulty in concentrating.
Individuals who are concerned about possible hearing loss are encouraged to have their hearing checked by a certified audiologist. To find a local audiologist or for free information on the warning signs and protection against hazardous noise and hearing loss, concerned consumers can call ASHA's Action Center at 1-800-638-8255 or visit www.asha.org.
ASHA is the national professional, scientific and credentialing association for more than 108,000 audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and speech, language, and hearing scientists. ASHA's mission is to ensure that all people with speech, language, and hearing disorders have access to quality services to help them communicate more effectively.

The Indian orthopedic large joint reconstruction device market is expected to reach $138.4 million by 2019, the end of the forecast period. The orthopedic large joint reconstruction device market includes hip implants, knee implants and bone cements used to help adhere the implants to bone. Large joint arthroplasty is experiencing a continued increase in demand, attributed to the aging Indian population and a larger number of highly active individuals. Procedure growth will increase over the forecast period as older patients are no longer able to postpone elective joint replacement procedures.
Knee reconstruction growth will continue to outpace hip reconstruction growth throughout the forecast period. Both the knee and hip markets experienced a steady increase in growth in 2012, even with the

Final Score: New England 23, Baltimore 20 (OT)
Foxboro, MA (Sports Network) - Stephen Gostkowski's 35-yard field goal, on the first play after the two-minute warning in overtime, lifted New England past Baltimore, 23-20, at Gillette Stadium.
Tom Brady threw for 292 yards and one touchdown -- to new acquisition Deion Branch -- on 27-of-44 throws with two interceptions for the Patriots (4-1), who rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to win for the third straight time.
"We've known each other for a long time, so I think the chemistry's there," Brady said of Branch, who was the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIX after posting 11 receptions for 133 yards.
Danny Woodhead gained 63 yards on 11 carries and BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed for a score, while Branch posted 98 yards on nine receptions in his first game back with New England since coming over from Seattle earlier in the week.
Joe Flacco completed 27-of-35 passes for 285 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Ravens (4-2), whose three-game win streak was snapped.
Derrick Mason caught eight balls for 100 yards, Anquan Boldin had four receptions for 63 yards and a touchdown and Todd Heap added a 16-yard TD reception in the setback.
New England's third series of overtime began on its own 38, and Brady hit Branch for 23 yards on first down, then connected for 10 yards and a first down on 3rd-and-2 from the Ravens' 21. Two rushes from Green-Ellis placed the ball on the 17 before Gostkowski's winning kick.
"If we get to see them in the playoffs we will be ready again," said Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis.
Billy Cundiff hit from 26 yards out to cap an 81-yard drive on Baltimore's initial series, then the Patriots worked a 66-yard drive on their second possession and took a 7-3 lead on a two-yard TD run by Green-Ellis.
The Ravens took a 10-7 edge on a 16-yard scoring reception by Heap on their initial drive of the second quarter and guarded the advantage until halftime.
Chris Carr picked off Brady on New England's first drive of the second half and the Ravens took over on the Pats' 36. Three plays later Flacco hit Boldin for a 25-yard touchdown and 17-7 lead.
Gostkowski booted a 38-yarder on the following series and the home team got within seven.
Cundiff's 25-yard boot on the second play of the fourth quarter provided Baltimore with a 20-10 advantage.
Brady then found Branch on 3rd-and-goal to make it 20-17 with 11:02 to play. For the nine-year veteran, it was his first regular-season touchdown reception with the Patriots since January 1, 2006.
"Tom and I have been away for four years and I honestly don't think we missed a beat," Branch admitted. "I'm used to being in that situation in this type of game. I haven't felt like this in four years."
New England reached the Baltimore six prior to the two-minute warning, but Brady's try for Branch was incomplete on 3rd-and-3. Gostkowski then was good from 24 yards out for a 20-20 deadlock with 1:51 to go.
"It's tough when you think you have the game won," Flacco admitted.
The Pats defense produced a three-and-out, then Wes Welker returned the punt 22 yards to the home team's 47. New England reached the 44 with one play left, and instead of a long field-goal try, Brady's heave for the end zone was picked off.
The Ravens won the toss and received to start the extra session, but went three-and-out, as did the Patriots on their first drive. Baltimore failed two more times and New England once before the home team's successful drive.
Game Notes
New England has won all six regular-season meetings with Baltimore since the Ravens arrived there in 1996...Flacco's 285 yards passing vaulted him into first place on Baltimore's all-time list with 7,985, surpassing Kyle Boller's original mark of 7,846...The Patriots defense held the Ravens to 99 yards rushing but allowed 377 total yards...The Pats had running back Fred Taylor inactive...Baltimore listed defensive tackle Haloti Ngata as active despite suffering a sprained MCL in his left knee last Sunday against Denver...Ravens cornerback Josh Wilson was also inactive with a hamstring injury.

Results from the first round of the Serbian elections are in, and it's nationalist-leaning Tomislav Nikolic who's in the lead. While Kosovo's independence seems inevitable from a western point of view, Serbs in the area do not agree. Nikolic's pro-Russian rhetoric has been rewarded by the Serbian population there, who think that only the Russians can save them from independence. In the town Kosovska Mitrovica, support for Russia is more than evident. Our Estonian Observer tells us about the situation in the town.
Jekaterina is a Russian lawyer living in Estonia. Here is her commentary and photos from when she visited Mitrovica.
Kosovska Mitrovica is a town divided by the Ibar river into two parts, northern, or Serbian, and southern, Albanian. They're connected by a bridge guarded by KFOR [NATO-lead Kosovo Force].
Walking the streets of this Serbian enclave you see President Putin stickers everywhere: on the door of a post office; on windows and walls; on street signs.
A banner hung in the main street: "Russia, help!"
Vitaliy Portnikov is a blogger and political analyst who lives in Kiev. See his blog.
Posted 21 January 2008
Irina Antanasijevic is our Observer in Kosovska Mitrovica. She was a Kosovon refugee who now lives in Nis, Serbia, but teaches at the Mitrovica University.
The latest sociological studies showed that 80 percent of residents of northern Mitrovica believe in support from Russia. Hence there is a banner "Russia, help!" in the central square of the Serbian part of town. They hope that Russia can influence the situation, and if not recall, then at least put off Kosovo's independence, which seems to be inevitable.
Of course this is naïve, but Serbia can only hope for a miracle given its current situation; it's gone through an economic blockade, bombings, and had to go along with secession of part of its territory. So, the only thing they can do now is trust in God and in Russia (I guess their historical memory turned on). "Resistance" is being cultivated in Serbian society that is based on "Russia/the West" opposition. Serbs HAVE to go along to legitimize the actions of the Security Council and other international structures. They wouldn't be able to stand the pressure if it weren't for Russia's support. So now 'russophobia' is being cultivated in society in order to get a "Yes" out of Serbia.
Serbia has long been divided into two camps - Western and anti-Western. Even Dostoyevsky wrote about 'two Serbias', and not much has changed since then. Right now, with the elections, the opposition is made even more acute. A "strong" politician Nikolic talks of Russian gas that will give new jobs, new opportunities, he talks about Russian bases, a Russian province. But people don't want any bases or provinces; they don't want to make the country into a fighting rink. So some of them go and vote for the "western" politician Tadic. Tadic talks about going to Europe without a visa, and about doing away with our barbaric image, about the influx of tourism, etc. But he doesn't say that prices will become "western" while salaries will stay Serbian, he doesn't say that the transition will be another war, that the West demands fulfillment of the Hague convention. People don't care about visas, since they don't even have enough money to live, let alone travel, and they don't want to make Serbia into a base for raw materials and cheap labor.
Although Serbs are saying that they won't give Kosovo away, they have no influence over the matter. All work has been done for the declaration of independence; all institutes have been created, not by the Albanians, but by the UN that did this for the Albanians at the same time as the farce of "talks" was going on.
Serbs in Kosovo are a little more active about the issue, because they no longer have a choice. Their trust in the West was shaken after the bombings, and the eight year long presence of the UN mission has killed faith in Western democracy, since it only did the opposite. In Nis, they have only experienced the bombings.
I want to add with a quote from Dostoyevsky:
"Serbia knows that only Russia can keep it from perish in case of a great misfortune, and that Russia, with its great influence, will help Serbia keep the maximum of benefit in case of a great luck. Serbia knows this, and has hope in Russia, but she also knows that Europe is watching Russia with increasing mistrust, and so Russia's position is worried. To sum up, future will tell, but what will Russia do?""

"What will Russia do?"
That has, unfortunately, always been the question, spoken with a lot of emotions. Mentioning Russia gives hope. An old Serbian/Montenegrin proverb says "God is above, Russia is afar". It goes the same way for Kosovar Serbs now. People from Mitrovica just go and point out their last piece of hope, without critically observing the situation, hence "Rusijo pomozi".
No one can blame them for doing so, and, more important, no one MAY blame Russia for not wanting to go into war for Serbia, although people allow themselves to believe that emotions of many Russians are very much on that side.
Let's not overreact with saying Serbs may hope only in God and in Russia. There's not much more left, of course, but Serbian government does what it can do. There's a lot pressure on them from the people, but also from the West and they surely don't do that only not to lose their positions in authority. Serbia must not allow itself to become once again what it was during Milosevic, especially not in times like these.
From many perspectives, it is impossible to compare Nikolic with Milosevic, but radical's standpoints in the latest situation resemble FRY's negotiation team's attitude in 1999. in Rambouillet. I recommend reading Zivorad Kovacevic's "Diplomatsko pregovaranje". "Let's restore Serbian authorities and remove the UN troops." "Let's have bad attitude". "Let's not cooperate with The Hague". "Let's get drunk and curse on other people". It's not the image of Serbia anymore, and that is good, but unfortunately too late for defending Kosovo.
It is inappropriate (not to say hypocrisy) to claim how Serbia looks forward to getting help only from Russia. WHOEVER might believe that that is the truth is either naive or has been focused too much on nationalist propaganda before the presidential elections. Serbs in Kosovo are prepared for independence. Everybody in Serbia is aware that the authorities are catching a straw just to protect the borders of Kosovo. Their foreign policy has changed long ago and no one even thinks that keeping Kosovo will bring any kind of benefit to Kosovar Serbs, or restore Serbia's jurisdiction there. Moreover, Serbia now also seeks anyone's understanding to help it protect its sovereignity. It's just as it is - let Kosovo stay inside Serbia, no matter the (political) costs.
So, nobody will really get disappointed if Russia doesn't help. They just ask Russia for engagement. If they don't save Kosovo, subjectively no one there shall blame Russia.
It is strange to imagine for most Serbians, but from Russia's standpoint it is imperative that no armed conflict ensues. It is simply not profitable to enter into an armed conflict for Russia at this time. They have problems of their own.
As for USA, it would be advantageous for both US and Albania to skip the diplomatic procedures and hurl right into a war. US is ready to fight since they have no border problems requiring their vast military. Although I believe that USA will not be able to support Kosovo Albanians for any length of time due to its economic struggle (which is about to escalate).
I find it disgusting that US allegiance can be assured by mentioning just a few key words: Independence, Freedom and Democracy. I would have thought that a country full of people would be harder to sway/control; I guess I was wrong...
Therefore, all the Serbians have to do is release the province into the hands of the Albanians, evacuate all Serbian people, and subsequently wage war and win the province while USA and Russia are in an economically vulnerable position. The Albanian army will no doubt interfere, but since they lack organization, a quick and bloodless victory is sure for Serbia.
From reading the text and seeing these photos, we can see what is really behind Serbia's reluctance to accept Kosovo nationhood: religious fundamentalism.
From an atheistic, agnostic or non-Christian-Orthodox point of view, it is completely absurd to cling to a province just because back in 1389 there happened a battle in which an old Serbian kingdom lost.
To keep 2 millions of people who don't want to be part of Serbia anymore just because the faith of 100-200 thousand people is an utter injustice, and even more unjust when we think what Milosevic have done do in Kosovo in the 1990s.
To ally the authoritarian Russian president like Vladimir Putin is to give even more evidence that the cause of the Serb Orthodox true-believers is wrong, and of the Kosovars is right.
So, Bad Gorilla would accept that Texas,California etc. should go back to Mexico. After all there are more central american ethnic population than anglo-saxon conquerers over there. Why then keep the Basque people away from forming their own state, after all since it is recognized that they are of a completely different ethnia, and have been fighting for their own homeland for ages. How about the Kurds etc.? No, Bad Gorilla, it won't happen because the EU and the USA would never permit the partition of their own countries, or that of their "allies".
What a load of rubbish from bad gorilla. Saying that all that is driving Serbs to hold onto Kosovo is religious fundamentalism.
What about Albanian Muslim Fundamentalism? Their fundamentalism is driving them to take territories which belong to another country and make them their own simply because they want a Muslim state. No amount of denying this will convince anyone that this is not their aim.
If they want to live in a multi ethnic society then they should accept living in Serbia for Serbia IS a multi ethnic society. Instead they drove most of the Serbs and other non Albanians out. So who is a fundamentalist now?
Since when did Serbia become a fundementalist society? Present us with some evidence of this fundamentalism. It was the Serbs who were occupied at various times not the other way around.
Oh, that is nonsense, you are writing about the Kosovo independence and religion.
Do you know what democratic constitution is? It states that a country has it's own borders - and one territory, which could not be parted.
What are albanian separatists doing? They demolish everything serbian, we know the facts, ruined remains of cultural heritage evidence for themselves.
Shiptars pretend to breed "Kosovo nationhood" on a territory, which constitutionaly belongs to Serbia.
From any point of view it is perfectly absurd and insane to support albanian separatists.
since IX century kosovo was part of serbia.It's real name then was ''RASHKA''.Albania was created in 1913. afther Balcan wars.So how something that belong to Serbs since IX century can be Albanian?
First of all, for most of its history in the last 1500 years, Kosovo was not part of anything that could be called "Serbia". The Albanians' presence in the region are more ancient than the Slavic Serbo-Croatian-speaking peoples, wich arrived in the region around the years 600-800 from the region that today is the corner between Slovakia, Ukraine and Poland.
The Serb nationalist version that "Kosovo had Serbian majority before the Croat Communist dictator Tito brought the Albanians to weaken the Serbs" is a lie, since any ethnographic map made before the existence of Yugoslavia shows that Kosovo was massively populated by Albanian-speaking peoples.
And just to remember, between 1878 and 1913 Serbia was an independente country without Kosovo, and as far as we know it had no major problems because of that. To the contrary, Serbia really got into big problems after it engaged in expansionist wars of conquest, when it annexed Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosovo more by brutal military force than popular appeal.
About "Albanian (and Bosnian) Muslim Fundamentalism"… come on, people. The Muslims from Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro, Macedonia and even Serbia are pretty secular, and ou know that. Any photo from the streets of Sarajevo, Tirana or Pristina will show mostly shaved men without turbans and women in jeans, without anything resembling a hijab, niqab or burca. It's very probable that Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro have more bearded men and head-scarved women than Bosnia, Kosovo and Albania…
About "destruction of Serb cultural heritage and Muslim War against Christianity"… well, everybody knows that Milosevic (and sadly, many top members of the Serbian Orthodox Church) manipulated the Orthodox religion to get political, financial and territorial gains. Many Orthodox churches and seminaries were reconstructed from stone ruins or built anew in Kosovo and Belgrade-controlled areas in Bosnia with this objective, at the same time that Serbian forces destroyed centuries-old Mosques and Catholic churches in the same regions to justify the "rights of Serbs over the Sacred land of Greater Serbia".
Kosovars were not in war against Christianity, since they did not destroy Christian Catholic or Protestant churches (and just to remember, many Kosovars and Albanians are Catholic). In fact, they were in war against the policies of Slobodan Milosevic, who wanted trough war to expand the territory of Serbia beyond the territories of Central Serbia and Vojvodina — the only two who are really governed from Belgrade, today.
And about other separatist causes, I just want to say that in democracies, separatism has much less force and reason to be — just compare the situation of Quebecers in Canada and the Romansh in Switzerland with the situation of Chechens in Russia and the Tibetans in China to see that.
A good Serbia is a democratic, secular, non-fanatical, and European Serbia. A good Serbia is a Serbia that don't go beyond the Drina River and a Serbia without Kosovo. That's all.

Over the past few months The Dirt Drifters have been going all over the country by train, plane, automobile and of course, RV, visiting radio stations and playing their single "Something Better". See what life is like on a radio tour is the latest installment of "Diaries Reborn!"
Recently, The Dirt Drifters stopped by US 99.5 in Chicago to give them a sneak peek at the new record and play some songs. Check out a quick video from the performance here. For all you Chicago fans, the guys will be heading to Joe's Bar for a show on June 24th! More details to come. Who's coming out to do it in the dirt?

Is there still room on country radio for a great bar band?
The radio gods briefly smiled on a ragtag Georgia gang called Confederate Railroad in the early '90s, but the leather-and-denim ensemble's run of hits (highlighted by popular recurrent "Trashy Women") lasted only about two years. By the time they released a fart joke as a single in 1998, few were around to hear it.
The Dirt Drifters might fare better. Having formed in Nashville and
The Boot sat down with The Dirt Drifters to discuss how the band came together, writing love songs and how life on the road is treating them...
Newcomers the Dirt Drifters may have just released their debut single 'Something Better,' but all five members have been haunting Nashville for nearly a decade. Not to mention, having spent the last four years signed to Warner Music Nashville and working on their debut record, 'This Is My Blood,' which is expected out later this year.

If your like me, lately I've been following the news on the tragedy unfolding in Indonesia. I've been hearing lots of statistics, such as the US being the richest country in the world, and that 40% of all aid offered to the world comes from the US, and quite honestly, I was completely unaware of our generosity to our foreign neighbors. The latest release from the US on the tsunami was a shocker.
The United States is pledging $350 million to help tsunami victims, a tenfold increase over its first wave of aid, President Bush announced Friday. "Initial findings of American assessment teams on the ground indicate that the need for financial and other assistance will steadily increase in the days and weeks ahead," Bush said Friday in a statement released in Crawford, Texas, where he is staying at his ranch. "Our contributions will continue to be revised as the full effects of this terrible tragedy become clearer," he said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this epic disaster."Bush also is sending Secretary of State Colin Powell to Indian Ocean coastal areas ravaged by earthquake and tsunami to assess what more the United States needs to do. The president's brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, will travel with him.
Wow...does this bring back memories? There's a new worm on the prowl that attempts to correct the exploits of the Santy worm. Will this do more harm than good?
F-Secure said on Friday that it was aware of seven sites that had been defaced by the worm, which appears designed to combat the Santy worm. The anti-Santy worm searches Google for sites that use the PHP Bulletin Board (phpBB) software exploited by the earlier worm, infects the sites and attempts to make the sites more secure by installing a patch.
Mikko Hyppönen, director of antivirus research at F-Secure, said that although the worm may seem beneficial, in fact it is likely to cause problems for administrators who will have to handle the increase in traffic.
What to do with an extra few thousand dollars?
The BBC has reported that a 22-year-old gamer has spent $26,500 (£13,700) on an island that exists only in a computer role-playing game (RPG). The Australian gamer, known only by his gaming moniker Deathifier, bought the island in an online auction. The land exists within the game Project Entropia, an RPG which allows thousands of players to interact with each other. Entropia allows gamers to buy and sell virtual items using real cash, while fans of other titles often use auction site eBay to sell their virtual wares. Earlier this year economists calculated that these massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPGs) have a gross economic impact equivalent to the GDP of the African nation of Namibia.
What better way to catch music thieves? Makes you wonder whether or not its deliberate.
PC World has learned that some Windows Media files on peer-to-peer networks such as Kazaa contain code that can spawn a string of pop-up ads and install adware. They look just like regular songs or short videos in Windows Media format, but launch ads instead of media clips.
When we ran the files, we noted over half a dozen pop-ups, some attempts to download adware onto our test PC, and an attempt to hijack our browser's home page. However, you can take steps to guard your PC against this ad invasion.
A reader initially alerted PC World to an ad-laden Windows Media Audio file, titled "Alicia Keys Fallin' Songs In A Minor 4.wma." We then found two other WMA files and two Windows Media Video files that had been similarly modified.
Using a packet analysis tool called Etherpeek, we determined that each media file loaded a page served by a company called Overpeer (owned by Loudeye). That page set off a chain of events that led to the creation of several Internet Explorer windows, each containing a different ad or adware.
Overpeer first made news mid-2002 by offering its services to record companies looking to stop P-to-P pirates. It creates fake audio files that purport to be popular songs but play only a short loop of the track or an antipiracy message; the file then pops up a window offering the downloader a chance to buy the song. By flooding file-sharing services with spoofed files, Overpeer makes finding real music files more difficult.
Marc Morgenstern, Loudeye vice president and general manager of digital media asset protection, says the files we found come from a different division of the company--one that targets users with promotions or ads based on the keywords those users search for on P-to-P networks or in other venues.
Though the two businesses differ, the result is likely the same--a further reduction in the effectiveness of popular P-to-P networks. Morgenstern characterized Overpeer's actions as just deserts for people who illegally trade copyrighted works for free. "Remember, the people who receive something like (the ad-laden media files), in some cases, were on P-to-P, and they were trying to get illicit files," he says.

Can Novell get their act together, or will they change tactics again? I honestly don't think this will work for Novell. The primary reason? Who will they market their products to? How many serious business applications run on the Linux platform? How in the world can you convince major companies to switch if their applications won't run on it? How will Novell convince developers that they need to make their apps work on the Linux, or open-source platform? They've got a very tough hill to climb.
Novell, the former undisputed leader in proprietary networking software, is banking on Linux and open source to rescue its business from years of decline. Where once it seemed fated for obscurity, Novell is determined to regain its former status by transforming itself into one of the industry's leading open source vendors.
Novell first aligned itself with the open source community when it launched its collaborative development site, forge.novell.com, in early 2003. But it wasn't until Novell purchased open source desktop software vendor Ximian in August 2003 that the company's new direction began to solidify in the public eye. Then in January 2004, Novell acquired SuSE, the leading Linux vendor in Europe and the No. 2 player worldwide, after Red Hat.
But even though it seems to be holding all the right cards, Novell faces tough odds. In recent years, tough competition from Microsoft and dwindling support from third-party developers have caused Novell's once-loyal base to look elsewhere for infrastructure needs. Unless it can win back the loyalty of the industry, Novell's new, Linux-centric message could fall on deaf ears.

I blogged eariler that I was having problems putting two and two together on AOL's reduction in SPAM, and CAN-SPAM not really working. The news just gets better. I stumbled over this one this morning.
The saga of the 24 year old West Virginian AOL staffer who stole over 30 million email addresses has taken another exciting twist.
The engineer, who pleaded guilty to appropriating email addresses and then selling them on to spammers, had his plea refused by the judge.
Judge Alvin Hellerstein, although admitting to a dislike of "spamsters" (sic), could not be convinced Jason Samthers had committed a crime under the CAN-SPAM Act. The judge said it was not clear the defendant had deceived anyone - a key requirement of the new law.
Smathers was caught in June this year and arrested along with accomplice Sean Dunaway, 21. Both Smathers and Dunaway face up to five years imprisonment and a fine of at least $250,000 if found guilty.
Smathers obtained the email addresses by using another employee's password to gain access to AOL's extensive databases. The list he acquired, later sold on to spammers for more than $100,000, contained email addresses, telephone numbers, zip codes and the type of credit card used by each member. The list did not contain actual credit card details.
According to prosecutors the list is still doing the rounds amongst the spamming fraternity.
The device, called LaserField, integrates data collection software from Vancouver-based Flowfinity Wireless Inc. and a bar-code reader from Infinite Peripherals, based in Irvine, Calif. Bar code-enabled BlackBerrys will help track inventory and will speed data entry, Flowfinity said in a statement.
Bar codes are used in less than 5 percent of hospitals to ensure that patients receive the right medications. But more than 35 percent of hospitals ranked as "most wired" use some sort of electronic means to match patients with medications.
Finnish antivirus firm F-Secure has detected two new fast spreading variants of the Cabir virus that infects cell phones using the Symbian operating system.
The company said the new variants, Cabir.H and Cabir.I, have fixed a flaw that slowed the previous Cabir virus from spreading rapidly. The original Cabir, dubbed Cabir.A, moved only to one new phone with each reboot. But the latest versions do not have the same restrictions, and appear capable of spreading to an unlimited number of phones per reboot.
Once a phone is infected, it is is capable of searching for other vulnerable phones using its Bluetooth wireless connection and transmitting a file that contains the network worm, according to F-Secure.
"We are getting into an issue that it is now in the wild and users have told their phones to accept any Bluetooth applications," Travis Witteveen, vice president of Americas for F-Secure, told internetnews.com. Witteveen said the new wrinkle in the worm exploits the very nature of how cell phones are intended to be used.
"When the phones are mobile they constantly are seeing Bluetooth applications and attacking them," he said.
Computers running Microsoft's Windows XP are vulnerable to Trojan attacks capable of remotely controlling a user's system even when equipped with the latest Service Pack 2 (SP2) patch, security firm Symantec has warned.
The Trojan horse, called "Phel", is capable of corrupting computers visiting a malicious Web site through Internet Explorer's Help controls, according to Symantec.
The program exploits a vulnerability within Internet Explorer and SP2 that engages help files from Web pages. The vulnerability was discovered in October.
An attacker first must entice a user to visit a malicious Web site before placing the Trojan on his machine. If the Trojan is successfully launched, the malicious software could be downloaded and run on the victim's system, according to Microsoft.
A spokeswoman for the Redmond, Wash., software giant said programmers were working to correct the vulnerability and will release the security update when the development and testing process is complete. She could not provide a definitive time table as to when a patch might be issued.
"Microsoft is working to forensically analyze the malicious code in Phel and will work with law enforcement to identify and bring to justice those responsible for this malicious activity," she said.
The flaw is unrelated to the three vulnerabilities in Windows reported last week by Chinese security group Xfocus. Microsoft officials were angered when the group released proof-of-concept code before sharing the information's with security vendors.
iMate has finally released a complete ROM upgrade for the iMate PDA2k (also known as O2 Xda III/IIs and T-Mobile MDA III). According to i-mate, this ROM build provides significant improvements in radio, audio, Bluetooth and operating functionality.
CNET has posted the cell phone year in review. Global cellular markets boomed. U.S. data services went through the roof. And handsets literally blew up.

JAPAN will start lending to foreign visitors personal digital assitants (PDAs) with travel information and translation services as part of a tourism promotion scheme.The pilot program is part of a government drive to find ways to make Japan more attractive to foreign tourists, who are often put off by the country's language barrier and high prices.
Japan's tourism authority will lend the PDAs containing Chinese, Korean and English software, to selected tourists who land at Narita Airport near Tokyo from February through March to test the response, the transport ministry said.
Netcraft has released an Internet Explorer plug-in that could help people avoid becoming victims of online fraud.
The Internet security company heralded the plug-in toolbar, which displays information about the Web sites a surfer is visiting, as a strong weapon against phishing attacks.
The company, best known for providing statistics on what software Web sites are running, stated in a posting: "The Netcraft Toolbar provides you with constantly updated information about the sites you visit as well as blocking dangerous sites. This information will help you make an informed choice about the integrity of those sites."
The toolbar displays information about the popularity of a site, the country in which the site is hosted and the Internet address of the site. It also indicates whether other toolbar users have flagged the site as a possible phishing scam. Phishers use fake Web sites that look like they belong to a trusted provider, such as a bank, to fool people into handing over sensitive personal information.
You can find the toolbar here: http://toolbar.netcraft.com/

High Performance Filtration in Harsh Environments
Driven by the need to provide solutions for increasingly harsh environments in filtration for the industrial market, Dexmet Corp., a manufacturer of precision expanded metals, foils and polymers, added a high performance polymer to its PolyGrid portfolio. Dexmet chose APTIV® film made with VICTREX® PEEK polymer to add to their portfolio where an expansion procedure using specifically designed proprietary equipment and processes are used to produce diamond configured, open area mesh products. Critical applications requiring high temperature stability to filter caustic gases or fluids, such as in the semiconductor, chemical processing, and petroleum/gas industries, have traditionally used polymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), perfluoroalkoxy copolymer (PFA), and ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (ECTFE). All of these materials provide excellent temperature and chemical resistance but none matches the mechanical strength provided by the expanded APTIV films. With the continual increase in demands on filter performance, VICTREX PEEK-based PolyGrid is the solution to meet the critical performance challenges.

Distraught Staten Island Resident Amid Hurricane Sandy Devastation: 'I Can't Explain It, This is Our Whole Life'
This morning, Dave Briggs was live in Staten Island, New York, amid the devastation wrought last week by Hurricane Sandy. Nearly 3 million residents remain without electricity as temperatures dropped near freezing overnight.
Briggs talked to 69-year-old MTA worker Michael Gatti, who shared his emotional story about the moment the storm hit his house. He said he was at work as Sandy came ashore, but that his sons were home when the huge wave of water swept through the neighborhood.
One of his sons was swept away in his car, but the other son was able to pull him out as the waters rose.

ROCKFORD- The days of heading to the video store and picking up a movie are alive and well at this family video on Charles Street.
Options like Redbox and Netflix may have doomed Blockbuster, but they haven't driven Family Video out of business. The Charles Street Rockford location rents out 25,000 to 35,000 movies every month.
"It's definitely our customer service. We are always hiring for fun, friendly, outgoing people. Our employees are definitely what attract our customers to this store. You want to see a fun smiling face," said Family Video Manager Nikara Paganini.
Paganini says low prices and free membership also keeps the business thriving.
"There are so many more choices of movies. You don't have to stand outside in the cold to try to get to the Redbox. There's a variety of selections of movies here and the service here is just phenomenal," explained Family Video Customer Helsum Cook.
Family Video locations are even hiring! To handle repeat customers like Constance Aiken.
"Coming to get kids movies for my grand kids to keep them entertained," is why Aiken has returned to Family Video for ten years.
Then there are those who don't think outside the Redbox choosing convenience over more titles.
"Actually I stay like two blocks down the road and it only takes about three to five minutes depending on if you know what you want, and it's a swipe of a card and you get back in your car and I'm home in 10 minutes," said Redbox Customer Alonha Mack.
So does the death of Blockbuster mean the end of the video store one day? Family Video believes giving good customer service and people more options than their competitors can remain a hit.

From the pictures and description on the website, we had high hopes for this campground. Upon arrival, we were put in a campsite where the hookups for the water and electric were broken. So we had to move to a different site, after we had already unhooked and setup. The part of the campsite closest to the river resembles a gypsy camp. There are various makeshift tents constructed of tarps and chicken wire. There are loose dogs running around. Broken down cars covered with tarps. The bathrooms and showers are infested with spiders. The stall doors have so much rust on them that the bottoms are falling off. The toilet paper was always empty in a least one of the stalls. In the stalls that did have paper, the toilets were plugged. The pool looked as if it had not been cleaned for a very long time. There were cars racing in and out of the campground at all hours of the day and night. I would not recommend this campground to anyone, let alone campers with small children, as they would not be safe. It's really unfortunate that this campground is not properly maintained, as it could be quite beautiful and it is in a superb location. Needless to say, my family and I will not be staying at Shakopee RV park again. - MNCampingFamily
Aug 2011 - $12.00
Everything was subpar. Starting with being quoted three different rates for camping by an employee, to being told conflicting information as to sites available. Our second day we had to move to a new site due to our campsite being used as a bike ramp and social drinking area. We were told we would have electric, but there was no access from the tent areas. Loose dogs were in and out of our campsite: leaving waste in our site the owner did not attend to. The park seemed to think the only issue was noise of dogs but we had issues with the shower house water temperatures being too hot or lukewarm, the pool was not being heated, the bathroom and shower house doors did not always shut or lock due to rust. We were so dissatisfied we chose another campground to go to. The owner was unpleasant and tried to change our nightly rate to say "we owed him" when his sign on the wall said "two persons/1 tent= $300/month." We stayed a month, were okay with paying for the month but wanted the $300 back for the month we weren't staying. He tried to tell us that you couldn't take apart the payment to get a refund at all for canceling. Then at the mention of a lawyer and the Better Business Bureau, he handed me two hundred and said, "There, a good compromise, look forward to having you back next year." Seriously? There are many other campgrounds in the area. I have found many nicer and more professionally run choices. I will not be staying here again. - gypsysojourner
Jul 2011 - $39.00
When my husband called after reading the other reviews on this site, the park's answering machine claimed that the park itself was "100% open". When someone on the staff called us back, he assured us that we would love the campground and would be happy to pay more than they asked to stay here. In reality, they charged us full price for a fairly level, muddy, incredibly buggy (mosquito) site; bathroom and shower areas closed because of more flooding; and a park staff that didn't answer the phone the three times I tried to call. The sewer connections are placed towards the end of the sites so you will need an extra sewer hose if you still plan to stay here. How a park can claim to be "100% open" when the bathrooms and at least half the sites are still underwater I don't know. Maybe for the privilege of having a train blow its horn for at least a full minute at 4:30 in the morning. - Traveler13

Bruce Dimler has a lot to celebrate these days. In two years, he has lost more than 200 pounds and has regained his health, thanks to the bariatric surgery he had in June of 2002 at Winthrop-University Hospital. No longer does he suffer from sleep apnea or high blood pressure. His pre-diabetes symptoms have disappeared and his chronic headaches have greatly decreased in frequency. Before the procedure, Mr. Dimler weighed 393 pounds. Now, at 187 pounds, he feels better than he has in years, has more energy for work, can run up the stairs without having to catch his breath and has a new zest for life.
"Before the surgery, everything - from walking to talking - was a struggle," explained Mr. Dimler. "Now, I feel reborn!"
At 396 pounds, Gerard Giarratana experienced chronic pain in his back and knees. And, with a history of heart disease in his family, there was certainly cause for concern about his ballooning weight.
Now, one year after his gastric bypass surgery, Mr. Giarratana is 184 pounds lighter and a new man. "I was back to work two weeks after my surgery and had no complications. I adopted a new, healthy way to live," explained Mr. Giarratana. "Now, I can sit in a chair in a restaurant. I have the energy to keep up with my kids and I don't have to buy my clothes from special catalogues! Yes, I lost a lot of weight, but I also learned a new way to eat."
"While one of the main purposes of gastric bypass surgery is weight loss for those patients who are obese, it is certainly not cosmetic surgery," said Siva Vithiananthan, MD, Director of the bariatric surgery program at Winthrop. "The surgery is offered only after a patient fails a regular medical program to lose weight."
He continued, "Obesity is like a walking time bomb and those who are obese often suffer from life threatening health problems like diabetes and hypertension. The procedure is about helping patients lose the weight that often brings on these diseases."
Dr. Vithiananthan explained that 60 to 80 percent of a person's excess weight can be lost after the surgery and in many cases, diseases such as diabetes and hypertension all but disappear or are controlled after the dramatic loss of body fat.
The delicate surgery is now being performed laparoscopically, a minimally invasive surgical procedure where keyhole size incisions are made. Through these incisions, a scope equipped with a tiny camera and other instruments are inserted. The procedure is performed utilizing advanced camera and video technology. The benefits of laparoscopic surgery for those patients deemed appropriate candidates are a smaller overall incision, shorter hospital stay, less pain, quicker return to work and less risk than with open surgery.
Winthrop Weighs Emotional Effects of Surgery
It is also important to recognize that gastric bypass surgery affects not only a person's physical health but also emotional well being. For many patients, the procedure is not only about weight loss, it's about daily living and being able to perform tasks most others take for granted, such as walking up stairs or keeping up with the kids.
A monthly support group meeting also helps patients deal with and understand the many emotional changes that go along with the surgery and weight loss. The support group meets on the first Wednesday of each month and is open to all those Winthrop patients who have undergone the procedure or who will be having the surgery in the future. In addition, Karen Norowski, RN, Bariatric Surgery Program Coordinator, helps patients through the process every step of the way.
At a recent gathering, patients expressed their joy with the results of the surgery, exclaiming, "The experience was life altering - because now
I have one!" or, "You want to do it all because now you can." Another gentleman couldn't be happier with the success of his surgery because of the benefits it has had on his once failing health.
Added Mr. Giarratana, "One of the best results of the surgery is the fact that my son can now fit his arms around me to give me a hug."

Menstrual Bleeding
If you suffer from heavy bleeding during your menstrual period on a regular basis, it's wise to check with your doctor to determine the cause. However, what you consider heavy bleeding may actually be normal for you. A rule of thumb to remember is this: If you're changing your sanitary napkin or tampon every hour or two hours, then you suffer from abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding. Hormonal imbalances, a surprise miscarriage, or ovarian cysts are often the cause, and all can be treated, either with medication or simple surgical procedures.
Other Causes and Treatments For Heavy Bleeding
If you suffer from nosebleeds on a regular basis, it's best to check with your doctor to determine whether you're suffering from high blood pressure or hemophilia. Both conditions can be life-threatening, but in the case of an occasional, simple nosebleed, these tips are often helpful. First, gently pinch your nostrils together and tilt your head back. Pinching the nostrils usually helps to stem or stop the flow of blood, while tilting your head back reduces pressure on the veins and capillaries in the nose, which will in turn reduce or stop the flow of blood. For a more serious nosebleed, a trip to the emergency room or your doctor is in order. Once there, expect to undergo either cauterization of the vessels and capillaries in your nose, packing with sterile gauze, or both. In either case, it's best to refrain from picking or blowing your nose for a certain period of time in order to avoid suffering from another nose bleed.
In the case of injuries, the severity, location, and amount of blood loss will determine whether the injury can be treated at home or if a trip to the emergency room is in order. For small cuts, holding the injured area under cold running water helps to clean the area, and in some cases this also stops the flow of blood. For more serious injuries, applying direct pressure with your hand or a clean, dry piece of gauze, cloth, or a towel helps to stop the flow of blood. Also, if the injury is on the hand or arm, holding the affected part above the heart will also stem or stop the flow of the blood. For severe injuries that result in an injured or severed artery, immediate medical attention is required. While you wait for paramedics, apply a tourniquet ONLY if you are properly trained in the technique. Otherwise, follow the aforementioned procedures to try and stop the literal spurting of blood, which is a tell-tale sign of an arterial injury.

ooo – i love this hat, it has a very robin hood vibe about it. It also could be that I just watched the BBC show and I loved it too!!

it IS a little Robinhood-esque. I didn't even think of that! I don't think I'll be sticking a red feather in mine though.

Mr. Cob, goes for a ride-about, down under.........

Howdy All,
Day five of the rideabout, was a great one, Mark rode his bike and gave us a guided tour of many cool places and parks. As I don't remember the names of the towns and parks we rode through I am just going to post a lot of photos to give you an idea of the fun we had, THANKS Mark for being our tour guide on this wonderful, clear but very chilly day.
First photo, we leave from Marks home, during the day we ride south toward Canberra.
Jock and his bike.
Mark and his bike.
The remains of an old light house.
We stop for a snack before riding to the next park, 3 dollars for a candy bar, 3 and a half bucks for a can of Coke.
We walk to a look out point.
Mark rode with us to this pub-store, here we had some lunch before again heading south. Thank you Mark for your kind hospitality, for lodging us, feeding us and filling us with beer and wine, for being our tour guide whilst in your area. If you should ever make it to my side of the big pond and find yourself in the Great Nor-Wet, please contact me and allow me to repay your hospitality.
Across the street from the pub, "Ned Kelly" kept an eye on things.
After Mark left, Jock and I continued to ride south, there was no room at this inn, so we rode on.
By the time we found a place to stay it was getting dark and COLD, we were near Canberra the capital city of Australia. We found a room, got a evening meal some drinks and found free wifi in a coffee shop. It dropped below freezing during the night, I am glad we had a room and weren't yet camping.
So ended day five of the rideabout, it was a great day filled with many spectacular views and just plain fun, Mark and Jock are fine folks to ride and just hang out with. Stay tuned, day six would be both a very good day and for me a very hard one at times but well worth it.

Snowman Festive Wreath
Make this super easy wreath to hang on your door for the holidays.
- Two paper plates
- Masking tape
- Safety scissors
- Tinsel garlands
- Ribbon (thin and thick)
- Baubles (optional)
- Printable Templates [1]
- A glue stick
- Take two plates and carefully cut out the centers. Next turn them back to back and secure with masking tape to make the circular base for your wreath.
- With your sticky tape attach a loop of ribbon to the back of the base.
- Cut a slit in your base and slot in the end of your tinsel garland. Also attach the ends to the base with a little masking tape to make sure it is securely attached.
- Now ball up the rest of your tinsel in your hand so it is easy to work with, and start wrapping it around the circular base. Keep it as tight and even as possible. When you have wrapped the tinsel all the way around secure it at the back with a little more tape.
- Next add some extra decoration. Print out the Snowman and Snowdog images in this tutorial. Stick them on some thicker stock paper (an old cereal box will do) with a glue stick, then carefully cut around them.
- Now attach them to the wreath. To make sure yours don't fall off, stick a little ribbon to the back with masking tape and tie them to the wreath.
