I'll bite, I think Sonnen will take Bones down. I think Sonnen will close the distance quickly, and hit a takedown. Will he keep him down, and win? I am not saying that, but I do think he can walk through the striking of Bones.
I see Bones taking a conservative approach to striking early, and once Chael starts to tire himself out, he'll be dead meat on the feet.
I don't see Chael being "dead meat on the feet". I do however, see him being choked out by guillotine or triangle. Also, I feel that Chael poses a real threat for Jones. I think Anderson is on a 'whole notha lebel" than John and Chael will be more than prepaired for this fight. That being said, I'm not sure Jones is going to take it as serious as some of his previous fights and come in expecting an easy fight, that I'm sure he won't get. I just can't stop seeing Chael shoot in and get caught in a standing guillotine that ends on the feet or goes to the ground, but ends there as well.
I don't think Jones will ever be unprepared for a fight/not take it seriously. He seems like a guy who is very concerned about knowing his opponent.

I'd like to have dolce do my diet for about 6 months and see what happens.
I agree that Chael needs to be careful with his takedown attempts, as Bones will be expecting that. In addition to the standing guillotine, I could see Jon using the flying knee if he's feeling adventurous.
We've never really seen Bones work off his back, except for that time when he pulled guard against Rashad. Even if he did get taken down, I wouldn't be surprised if he reversed position and pounded out Sonnen in brutal fashion. Remember, Chael couldn't finish Anderson even though he rode him for 24.5 minutes, and you know how Jon Bones Jones gets down with them elbows once he's on top.
Chael's margin for error is slim to non-existent.

I have no doubt Jones will have his way with Chael. No way Chael will have anywhere near Jone's strength.
Goodbye Mr. Burton
All in the reflexes
Anderson Silva 5: TRT USERS 0 Hendo - Forrest - Nate - Chael... twice
And how does Dolce knows how strong will be Jones?
He says that Chael is training so hard and lalala, and he thinks that Jones will not be training hard or what?
As for the "There are still 3 months before the fight and he is already training his hardest", well he may be careful of getting injured. However if Chael gets injured and pulls out of the fight, it will be the best Karma ever.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Yeah I didn't say in the slightest that Chael would KO Jones. I just don't think it's going to be an 'on the feet' fight. I don't think Jones will KO Chael on the feet either. Hence why I said I don't think he's dead meat on the feet as someone else had said. That being said and correct me if I'm wrong, but who in the UFC has finished Anderson? If my recollection serves me right, even the 'big punchers' he's faced haven't been able to do much.
I just think that if Chael can stay away from any submission and if Jones isn't taking the fight as serious as he has others then Chael will pose a real threat. John hasn't seemed to take punches too well, when he's been hit in the past. So I'm also curious to see how he handles fighting off his back. I just don't think Jones' standup is going to affect Chael much, I have a feeling Chael is going to be closing the gap too fast. Unless however, Jones throws a perfect timed knee while Chael is going for a takedown.

An MRI of the breast is usually done by
an MRI technologist. A
radiologist usually studies the pictures to look for
problems. But some other types of doctors may also do this.
You will need to remove all metal
objects (such as hearing aids, dentures, jewelry, watches, and hairpins) from
your body because these objects may be attracted to the powerful magnet used
for the test. If there is a possibility that you have metal fragments in your
eyes from an accident or a surgery or because you work around metal, an X-ray
or a CT scan will be done before the MRI to see if any metal is present. An
X-ray or CT may also be done if there is a concern about metal fragments in
your head or spine.
You will need to take off your clothes above
the waist. You will be given a gown to cover your shoulders during the test.
Empty your pockets of any coins and cards (such as credit cards or ATM cards)
with scanner strips on them because the MRI magnet may erase the information on
the cards.
During the test, you will lie on
your stomach on a table that is part of the MRI scanner. Straps may be used
to help keep your body in the best position. The table will slide into the
machine part that holds the magnet. A device called a coil may be placed over
or wrapped around the breast area.
the scanner, you will hear a fan and feel air moving. You may also hear tapping
or thumping noises as the MRI scans are taken. You may be given earplugs or
headphones with music to lessen the noise. It is very important to hold
completely still while the scan is being done. Otherwise, repeat scans may be
needed. Also, you may be asked to hold your breath for short periods of
During the test, you may be alone in the scanner room. But
the technologist will watch you through a window, and you will be able to talk
to him or her through a speaker.
If contrast material is needed,
the technologist will put it in a vein (intravenous, or IV) in your arm. The contrast material may be given over 1 to 2 minutes.
Then more MRI scans are taken.
An MRI test usually takes 30 to 60
minutes but may last as long as 2 hours.

You can make a difference!
Harvest for Kids Connexions
We work in many areas where children grow up being told they will never amount to anything and are never given a chance at life. Supporting leaders and camps through a Harvest for Kids Connexion can change that.
Through the camping programs, we have seen lives of children and young people changed with the new sense of value they receive. We have also seen children who have been through the camping programs return to become leaders of the camps and their communities.
We are working towards setting up micro-finance projects in Cuba, India and Cambodia in order to help feed communities and sustain the growth of the church and ministry programs. Monthly funding of these projects has the potential to make a huge and positive impact in Cuba. This new type of Connexion has great potential for lasting change.
If you would like more information, or want to make a Connexion, please visit www.ccicamps.com, call us, or email us at email@example.com.
Project: Grow
Farmers can dedicate a section of land to Harvest for Kids and the proceeds from that field will go towards supporting camps. The option is also available to grow specialty crops that we can ship to India, creating a micro-enterprise by setting up kiosks in several areas. The funds from these kiosks will not only support the camps in the communities but also employ individuals, giving them opportunities to start businesses.
Grain Drive
By donating a load of grain today, you could have an eternal impact on children around the world. You will receive a donation receipt upon mention of delivery for Harvest for Kids/Children's Camps International. For more information please contact us.
If you'd like to get involved with any of the above projects please contact us!

The "Name of the Game" is one of the wonderful service ever shown in the television history. There are only limited TV series that have got the kind of level quality this program has! From original theme songs to amazing plot. This show also has the nice list of actors including Budd Albright and Gene Barry. This series was pretty fascinating because it revealed American scenarios and cultures through the magazine commentators and how it brought to the pages. All these stories are so valuable and gives you the feeling that you're truly part of the show! Read more

London, UK (PRWEB) June 19, 2014
At present, the e-commerce market in China is following an upward trend, and it is expected to surge in the years to come. The country's e-commerce market growth is spurred by the increasing personal incomes in China, consumer's rising awareness of online retail sites, as well as the growing number of internet users in the country. The major motivating factors for consumers to make online purchases in China include lower prices, greater product choice, and higher convenience while purchasing.
The key payment method for online purchases in the country witnessed certain changes during the past few years. Initially, cash-on-delivery was the preferred payment method, but soon consumers switched to automated online payments as they are considered to be more convenient. Currently, around 70% of all payments in China are electronic. The country's government has given more than 200 licenses allowing companies to set up electronic payment systems, nevertheless, the local market is still dominated by 4 main payment providers, namely TenPay, AliPay, 99bill and Union Pay.
New research report "e-Commerce Payment Trends in China: 2014" elaborated by Maverick China Research is now available at MarketPublishers.com.
Report Details:
Title: e-Commerce Payment Trends in China: 2014
Published: June, 2014
Price: US$ 2,000.00
The report presents an all-round guide to the Chinese e-commerce and online payments market and also gives a particular attention to analysis of the prevailing online payment and purchasing trends in China. The research study investigates monthly spending habits (by gender, age, income and city), provides a detailed analysis of the consumers' preferences regarding the great variety of payment channels available in the local market. The report highlights the most important aspects of the Chinese e-commerce and online payments market, reviews the leading payments providers, offers thorough examination of the key consumer groups, uncovers historical and present data on the local market performance. Additionally, the study touches upon the future growth prospects of the Chinese e-commerce and online payments markets.

|By: Dr. John Ankerberg and Dr. John G. Weldon; ©2001
|Does the Islamic faith have the same view of Jesus as the Christian faith? Do Muslims believe that Jesus is uniquely the Son of God? That he is the God-man? That he was crucified? Who is superior—Mohammad or Jesus? Drs. Ankerberg and Weldon examine these questions from the Qur'an.
Muslims claim that they believe in the true Jesus Christ. Muslims praise Jesus as a prophet of God, as sinless, as "the Messiah," as "illustrious in this world and the next," as "the Word of Allah" and as "the Spirit of God." (e.g. Sura 3:45) Muslims cite their Bible, the Koran, in confirmation of their belief in Jesus: 'And we gave Jesus, Son of Mary, the clear signs, and confirmed Him with the Holy Spirit."[1]
But whatever Islam claims, it does not believe in the biblical Jesus.
First, it asserts that Jesus was only one of God' 's endless prophets or messengers, and not God's only begotten Son. Muslims adamantly reject the idea that Jesus is the Son of God. The Koran repeatedly emphasizes that Jesus Christ is not the literal Son of God:
Thus the Koran emphatically denies that Jesus Christ is the Son of God—a teaching that Jesus Himself just as emphatically affirmed (John 3:16,18; 10:36-38). In conclusion, the Christian view of Jesus Christ as God's literal Son is blasphemy to the Muslim.
Second, Muslims deny that Christ was God incarnate. Any Muslim who believes that Christ is God has committed "the one unforgivable sin"[7] called shirk—a sin that will send him to hell. Thus the Koran emphasizes that Jesus was only a man: "The Messiah, Jesus Son of Mary, was only the Messenger of God…." [8] Sura 43:59 asserts: "Jesus was no more than a mortal whom [Allah] favored and made an example to the Israelites." [9]
But even though Jesus Himself claimed on many different occasions that He is God, the Koran has Jesus denying His own deity. When Allah himself supposedly asked Jesus if He was God, Jesus replied in the Koran, "It is not mine to say what I have no right to." [10] In fact, even as a baby, Jesus allegedly claimed He was only a servant of Allah. According to Sura 19:20,34, Jesus praised his birth and then said, "I am the servant of Allah." And Allah teaches, "It is not for God to take a son unto Him."[11]
Third, Muslims do not believe that Jesus was crucified and died on the cross.
Fourth, Islam teaches that Muhammad was a superior prophet to Jesus because he brought God's final revelations to man. Badru D. Kateregga, a former lecturer and head of the Islamic studies and comparative religion at Kenyatta University College, University of Nairobi, Kenya, exemplifies the common Muslim view of Jesus as an inferior prophet to Muhammad.
Thus "Muhammad... is the last prophet and messenger of Allah. His mission was for the whole world and for all times."[13] In other words, Muslims must not turn to Jesus for spiritual guidance—only to Muhammad.
But Muslims are wrong. Jesus is far more than God's mere messenger. Jesus Christ is God's one and only Son (John 3:16-18). Further, He is the Second Person of the Trinity, God incarnate—God Himself (John 1:1,14; 5:18). Jesus claimed to be both "the Lord" and "God"'
When Muslims deny that Christ was crucified on the cross—and that God substituted someone else in His place—they deny the clearest teaching of the New Testament. Even Jesus prophesied—repeatedly—that He had to go to the cross and that this was God's direct will for Him (Matthew 16:21; Luke 18:31-33; John 12:27). Innumerable eyewitnesses, both Jesus' friends and enemies, saw Jesus die on the cross, and many of His apostles and friends were eyewitnesses to His resurrection from the dead (John 19:23-27,31-35).
In conclusion, both the Koran and the Muslim religion are in serious error concerning their teachings on the most important man of history, Jesus Christ. Islam claims that it honors and reverences Jesus even though it rejects what the Bible teaches about Him. It denies His divine nature when it teaches that He was only a servant of God, a mere man. It denies His mission when it teaches that Jesus never died on the cross. It denies Jesus' own teaching concerning the reason He came into the world: "to give his life as a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:28).
No one can deny that Muslims reject the biblical Jesus. Yet it was Jesus Himself who warned all men, "…if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins" (John 8:24).

Reviews for Lemon Pound Cake Muffins
Sort By :
"Love this recipe "
"I won't make these again. They are a bit dry and just so-so tasting."
"I was worried after reading that first comment, that these wouldn't turn out right. Then I was worried when I saw how thick the batter was, but chalked it up to using sour cream instead of milk in the recipe. They turned out great! not too sweet, great for breakfast. They weren't the most moist, but next time I may try to take them out of the oven sooner. I baked them exactly 18 minutes. I will be making these again!"
"This is an excellent muffin! Very moist. The last reviewer must have made a mistake. I like to add some blueberries and I omit the glaze."
"These were dry and just bland. I can't believe this is a contest winning recipe. Did you even try these when you did the contest? Very disappointing!!!!"

Hurray! Fresh local corn is here for the season. Let's celebrate with some easy, delicious corn tartines. Tartine is just a fancy word for a piece of bread with a bunch of stuff on it, aka an open-faced sandwich. It is a great oven application for a quick meal, so take this recipe as a guide and let your imagination go.
3 ears local sweet corn
3 radishes
1 jalapeno pepper
1 fresno pepper
8 oz rocket (arugula)
1/4 C fresh parsley, chopped
4 oz chevre
4 thick slices crusty bread
1/4 C extra virgin olive oil, or as needed
1 clove garlic, peeled
juice of 1 lemon
salt and black pepper, to taste
Soak the ears of corn, unshucked, in cool water for half an hour. Remove and place directly in a medium-hot wood oven. Put the ears on the coals, in the fire, wherever, as long as you're watchful. Rotate frequently. When the husks are charred on the outside, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Shuck the corn and cut the kernels off the cobs.
Shave the radishes into thin rounds with a mandolin or sharp knife. Remove the seeds from the peppers and chop finely. In a bowl, combine the corn, radishes, peppers, rocket and parsley. (I like the pungent taste of big, mature rocket arugula here, but if all you can find is baby arugula, by all means use that.) Season well with salt and pepper and drizzle generously with olive oil. Toss well to combine and set aside.
Brush your bread with a thin coat of olive oil on both sides. Place on a sheet tray or roasting pan and place in your wood oven. Toast until golden, 2-5 minutes depending on how hot your oven is, turning once.
Remove the bread from the oven. Rub the clove of garlic thoroughly over the surface of the bread. (If your bread is too delicate for this operation, you're using the wrong kind of bread!) Spread some chevre over each slice. Top with a pile of the corn mixture. Place in the oven and allow to roast just until the top of each pile begins to char and the cheese gets melty, about 3-6 minutes.
Remove from the oven and squeeze some lemon juice over the top of each tartine. Serve warm with an IPA alongside and you're ready to appreciate summer's bounty.

If the prospect of being back at work rather than sledging is getting you down, we recommend you take a tea break to contemplate this lovely survey of snow people along the Thames from last week, courtesy of Beagleskin. Those of an optimistic disposition who sense spring in the air and spy green shoots already will be heartened as spring poems appear Underground today.

Yellow is for a tracker that has been allowed because the domain is necessary for the functioning of the page you are on. Green is for a domain that is not a tracker.
According to the release announcement, Privacy Badger beta:
… includes a feature that automatically limits the tracking function of social media widgets, like the Facebook "Like" button, replacing them with a stand-in version that allows you to "like" something but prevents the social media tool from tracking your reading habits.
"Widgets that say 'Like this page on Facebook' or 'Tweet this' often allow those companies to see what webpages you are visiting, even if you never click the widget's button," said EFF Technology Projects Director Peter Eckersley. "The Privacy Badger alpha would detect that, and block those widgets outright. But now Privacy Badger's beta version has gotten smarter: it can block the tracking while still giving you the option to see and click on those buttons if you so choose."
On Firefox, I find that Privacy Badger works best if third party cookies are disallowed, which you can configure from the browser's Preferences > Privacy window. To install Privacy Badger, visit www.eff.org/privacybadger.

Over the years, the Smithsonian has collected artifacts for many different reasons. Yet all of the artifacts in the National Museum of American History are worth saving for one fundamental reason: they help us understand our nation's past. In exhibitions, artifacts are not considered in isolation, but in conversation—they are placed in different contexts, juxtaposed with other objects, linked to major themes and ideas. They reveal not just evidence about one person's life but also larger truths about American history and identity. As we look for ways to connect artifacts to history, we discover new stories and new reasons why things are worth saving.

Hey there! Thought I'd say something about my old sugarskull design that's long overdue. It is by far my most wiewed blog post with mindboggling 60 000 unique visitors since i posted it two years back, and it ranks in the very top when image-googling "sugar skull". I think that's AWESOME, but it also gets me thinking...
I deliberately choose to post my pictures without ugly watermarks, and I'm not surprised, nor offended, by the easy access that comes with publishing online.
But please remember: I very much appreciate the people that take the time to write me a line asking for permission!
I've had so many requests about using this picture for tattoo designs that I've come to regard it as flash by now, as my answer always have been 'yes'. However, I've kindly asked for pictures of the finished result, and received none.
This is making me ask the question; how many sugarskull tattoos are really out there? So far I've only stumbled upon one:
I also have this sketch from deviantart:
But something tells me there's more... So if you've tattooed this, please hook me up with some pics! I'd be thrilled! My egotistical mind loves the thought that something I made with my hands have traveled to the other side of the world and have been etched into minds and skins of people without them knowing a thing about the swedish girl behind it ;) I love watching the different versions of the same image, and would love to get in touch with all of you!

The Kodiak Daily Mirror reports (http://is.gd/T4wdWg) Monday's tabletop exercise involved the city and borough incident management team. It dealt with a threat after a simulated magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck 150 miles southwest of Portland, Ore.
The drill tested the team's ability to monitor a mock tsunami that headed toward British Columbia and the Alaska coast. It also involved confirming information, measuring wave heights and calculating when waves would hit Kodiak Island.
Team members also had to decide when to alert the public and the media and to make preparations for special groups, like those living in nursing homes.
The exercise was required preparation for the statewide Alaska Shield 2014 exercise on March 28.

Central baja: Lizard lady exposed for what she is
My biggest point in explaining my experience with Kacey Smith and the Lizard Lady is to remind ourselves that we often misjudge things we dont know about and especially misjudge people we dont get a chance to know. It happens all the time especially on the Internet. Knowing is doing and doing is experience. I was wrong again to adopt a negative perception about someone with whom I had had no prior personal experience. Life is too short to place people into stigma. Everyone has something bad about them and the new media trains us to point out the bad stuff.

LIZARD LADY: Friend Or Foe??? Either way, she needs to be exposed for what she really is...
WARNING: There are a lot of dogs in my ride report. I like the dogs.
It was one of those nightmares: You get shut out of one of those big riding trips because of some giant glitch.
My truck got stuck in the shop for an extra week and rendered this big trip a no-go for me. And it was one of those dream trips, a special one: 9 full days of riding the best single track routes in central Baja, all hosted and led by Kacey Smith, the infamous Lizard Lady. Like almost anyone would do, I based my perception of Kacey off what information or knowledge I had. The problem with that is that I had no knowledge of Lizard lady, only information from guess where? All I knew is that I was invited to ride with this apparently controversial figure for 9 days around BoLA and beyond and that a small framed woman on a stock XR250 would be leading 7 grown men, all Baja vets and a pair of highly accomplished racers. Seemed kind of intriguing, huh?
Didnt matter now though because I was silt out of luck w/o my tow vehicle and Im due in El Rosario by 7:00am Sat. Its not going to happen and I dwell on all of the fun and adventure I am going to miss. Over and over I go through how crappy it was and then an idea sprung to mind:
I had a spreadsheet of the entire itinerary and, at risk of the group changing plans, I decided to do what Kenweld, Soto, Dufus or even PCell wouldve done: Get on the bike and make a solo adventure, directly from San Diego to Gonzaga. Hopefully the group would show up on Sunday night.
So I left around dawn from North County with a Petzl Headlamp rigged inside the taillight lens on the XR 650.
Free road to Compadre trail, slabbed it to Diablo after gassing in Independencia and Valley T.
I wanted to see if I could find Jose in the bear shack (Joses Corner)
Looks like it could be chicken for lunch if the dog could muster the energy
Had a great time talking. Dude doesnt see so well. Soldiers came in and bought 4 cigarettes each.
I took Zoo road access into SF, fueled and looked around Reubens for a guy named Craig Wilemsen from up north. I didnt find him.

The hwy is paved now almost all the way to Gonzaga. Give it a few more months. Some say it spoils business for Gonzaga and Cocos because tour customers dont want to ride on the pavement transferring from SF. I guess they could always ride single file just off the shoulder.
I checked my head into Alfonsinas and they told me for sure that Kacey was just there a few days ago and just left to go back home. They seemed pretty sure that I would not be meeting her. So I buddied up with some ADV trekers from Bay Area, 3 dudes and a girl.
It was their first time and they were headed to Los Barilles so we looked at their maps and I suggested a couple of different options for down and back. We sat down to dinner and started to order when the thumping sound started in the distance. There were some bikes coming.

I went out front and met 4 bikes pulling in, not 7. It was them, minus Larry, Mike and Ralph.
What a nice, warm and unassuming person Kacey Smith is, and very humble about her place in the Baja. We all sat for dinner and Kacey and I got right into it. I said, You have quite the reputation, dont you? She smiled and said, Yes, but I have two of them.
Kacey with Tim Savin
In case you dont know, Kaceys (aka Lizrd Lady) has been plotting routes and trails in Baja since the nineties and has published a couple of GPS guides for sale on her website. While she is seen as hero to some, she has been vilified by a relatively small group of mostly American riders. Their gripe: Because Lizard Lady sells GPS files and a guidebook of Bajas trails, too many people will come in and ride some of the sensitive areas closer to the border, up around the Sierra Juarez. The theory states that over use will ruin the trails there, land-ownership sensitivities being the key factor. From one perspective, she sells opportunities. From another perspective it may seem as though she sells secrets, although she dispels that theory as merely a misconception.
So, from what I had read about her, I assumed that she was widely hated throughout the Baja, almost like a Mike Overcast of sorts. This is why I am really glad that I spent 3 days alone, riding around Baja to give her a chance to speak and for me to get inside what ever had really been going on.
She enlightened me with her side of the entire story of how she discovered trail riding in Baja and how she met explored with her first partner Juan. As they delved into GPS technology they sought to solve safety and land use problems by cataloguing the trails and routes accompanied by subjective advice on each one. She made some detail of the scope of a multi-year project, the financial expense as well as the human cost of such a project.
The whole idea around the guidebook was to keep people safe and out of trouble. Stories were popping up of riders running out of gas or getting stuck behind a locked gate, a broken femur and some fatalities. As a way to help and protect other riders, I published the guidebook.
She explained that she wasnt ever a controversial figure until well after the first guidebook was published around the early 2000s.
We had a tremendous amount of support back then. Bruce Ogilvie got American HONDA to give us 2 bikes to use each year for 4 years just for us to complete the plotting process.
I hosted GPS events out of R. Santa Veronica (not published though); I spent months tracking down land/home owners in the area to ask special permission to use there property where the single track went through. THAT was so worth the work as I got to know many locals in the area and they so very much appreciated my effort to seek and ask approval.
From my prior perspective I wondered how someone like noted trail master Bill Nicolls would feel about someone like Lizard Lady selling the trails he made to the general public. Maybe he hated her too.
Bill is actually one of my closest friends and weve spent days and weeks on end together both here on bikes and back home in the states on long road trips, Kacey explains, Whenever he (Bill) finishes a new trail, he calls me first so I can get it in the guidebook updates. He doesnt think they are his trails, they belong to Baja and they are for everyone to ride. They are for sharing. Both Bill Nichols and Jimmy Sones have asked me to publish their single tracks to share.
This could only really make sense for someone who had actually seen the trails that have been created by Nichols, Sones and a handful of others. They are marvels of the desert, reflections of imaginations of their architects. And you really dont see that many people flocking to this part of Baja every weekend to ride trails. But Kacey Smith is actively and currently working on several projects for your enjoyment including one that bears her moniker.
Its logical that the architects of these trails in central Baja invite more wear on the trails because it makes them more ridable and sharing is caring. Its also logical that the riders of the other trails up north would not invite the overuse of trails in Sierra Juarez where the overall environment is relatively sensitive. Fences, gates, weed farms, and ruts are the bulk of the issues up north. Virtually none of that is an issue south of El Rosario where the wilderness is open only up til the point of your imagination ends.
I guess I'm a little sensitive about the misconception that I publish 'secrets', in particular. The only single track in the north I published was a short-lived single track everyone knows that follows the side of the main road out toward Laguna Hanson (and I got permission from the ranchers residing near there at the time; it still remains open with NO issues 11 years after publishing). I didn't publish single track in the north NOT because of my detractors, but because I respected the area as 'already sensitive' and also a place that was in heavy growth (private property land being purchased) not to mention National Forest designations around Laugna Hanson.
Kacey Smith would not name names of any of her detractors as hard as I tried to get her to. I really tried but she seemed dignified in our conversations over the 2.5 days Id spent with her. She seemed much more resolved to let the prior negativity toward her just roll right off her back. She appears very high-roadish and as positive as can be when describing the way she felt when really nasty things were being said about her on the internet. Indeed, she took some heavy lumps. She admittedly understands why some people are concerned.
I get it you know. I can see why some people would be concerned about some trials up north. There is the biggest land grab in history going on around there, fences going up. I get that. But instead of talking about it together and finding some resolution, its just all of this negativity and name calling on the internet. I had to stop looking at it.
I knew she was the real deal and VERY GOOD AMBASSADOR for Baja when I watched her interacting with the locals. She was better than any gringo I have ever seen. Cameron, SNR, Johnny C and Teem are great with the Baja locals, but Kacey Smith gets my first prize. Sorry Rudy, but you still are on the podium and youre only kind of gringo. Like you, she is truly loved in Baja and, in Gonzaga Bay, at Alfonsinas she is member of the family. I bet shes pulled into Cocos as many times, if not more, than almost anyone on a bike.
Who else has helped him bathe his sores? At the gas stations, markets and hotels we stopped at, everyone was so happy to see Kacey.

I was bummed to have to leave the group but said goodbye and went on my way from BoLA junction Stay tuned for some cool report items at the end of these next few posts.
In the end Kacey, Will, Tim and Doug survived the Occupy Valle de Los Curios ride and Ironically, in the end, the only three bikes that were running were all XRs (2 400s and her 250-which I hear is no more)

Wanna See Something Gnarley?
Cruising north on HWY 1 between Catvina and El Rosario, I came accros this scene on the side of the road. Bikers down. Triage. It looked bad, like someone was dying.
I had passed the scene before I could stop so I turned around to offer some assistance. Then I realized it was a family picnic Unbelievable: This French family is riding from Edmonton to Buenos Aries and the kids arent even 9 yet.

Great report, thanks for posting. I have talked to Kacey briefly by e-mail a few times and have ordered a few things from her website, (bajagpsguide.com) a great website by the way, very informational. Not to many woman ride motorcycles and even less that ride off road hard core. It would be great to meet her some day.

Mises Daily
If You Are So Smart...
After a recent article I wrote dealing with the Austrian Business Cycle Theory, I received the following e-mail:
You have knowledge of the Von Mises business cycle and can predict booms and busts. Go long on the booms and short on the busts and you'll soon make a bundle.
You must all be rich.
If not, why not?
If you are not all rich, why is that?
Seems a rather good question.
Now, the writer of this e-mail was not trying to give me investment advice or complimenting me on my writing. The tone obviously is sarcastic, and the writer seems to believe that he is making a strong point against the ABCT. Indeed, he wants to know, if Austrian Economists are so knowledgeable about the origins and workings of the business cycle – and do by also criticizing the mainstream Keynesian approaches – then it would make sense that Austrians should be able to transfer that information into investment patterns that created personal wealth.
On the other hand, the writer implies without saying, if Austrians who claim to understand the ABCT are not rich, then perhaps the ABCT itself is flawed. After all, Austrians have to be following the investment advice of someone, and if one's investment patterns do not follow what one believes to be true, then such behavior would constitute an absurdity. Moreover, if Austrians do not follow the theories they purport to be true, then they would be engaged in an ultimate act of hypocrisy and dishonesty.
First, for reasons of full disclosure, I am not a wealthy person. That state of affairs is not due to my having followed flawed economic theories, but rather is the result of some short-sighted decisions on my own behalf. Furthermore, I do not purport to know the personal financial status of fellow Austrians, nor have I asked them about their investment decisions. Thus, I am in no position to know if my colleagues are wealthy.
(On the contrary, if Austrians are subjected to the "why aren't you rich if you are right" test, then it would be fair game to ask Keynesians the same thing. If government-generated "aggregate demand" is the key to creating wealth, then if all Keynesians are not rich, would it not make sense to say that a state of affairs in which Keynesians are not wealthy is de facto a means of discrediting Keynesian theory? If one wishes to be consistent – which is what the writer of the e-mail is demanding – then Keynesians ought to be judged by the same test. However, there is an alternate explanation; the economic theories to which one holds do not automatically reveal themselves in an individual's personal wealth. To put it another way, one can be right, but not rich. For that matter, one can be rich and not right. Many wealthy people have expounded what can only be crackpot theories on wealth "redistribution" or other such things.)
The ABCT has been explained any number of times on this page, but some things bear repeating. For those not familiar with the theory, I hardly can do it justice in these few paragraphs. However, for the sake of simplicity, I will outline how the ABCT works.
The first step involves government authorities – generally through the central banks – attempting to give the economy a "kick" by forcing down interest rates to artificially low levels. (In the United States, the Federal Reserve System generally goes on an aggressive program of expanding bank reserves, with the initial growth in reserves helping to spark an increase in new lending.)
The lending surge then affects capital markets, with the addition of new capital helping to create a boom. However, because the lending policies have been contrived through artificially low interest rates, sooner or later it becomes apparent that the new capital spending does not reflect the buying habits of consumers. In other words, the boom cannot be sustained, and the malinvested capital either must be liquidated or applied to other uses. During the recession, the malinvestments are purged from the economy and the stage is set for the economic recovery.
Now, I have left out large portions of the theory, especially the explanation of how time fits into the entire scheme. Again, I do that on purpose only because of the constraints of space. (If one wishes to learn the ABCT in depth, the first portion of Murray N. Rothbard's America's Great Depression gives a clear and detailed explanation. The book also can be read online through the Ludwig von Mises Institute's website.)
One of the things that sets Austrian Economics apart from the professional mainstream is the Austrian's insistence on time being a factor of production. (Mainstream theory operates under the unrealistic assumption that consumer goods are created and sold instantaneously. Time has no bearing in the standard approaches.) Capital accumulation takes place over time; malinvestments occur over time; the business cycle takes place over time.
Furthermore, the ABCT is a qualitative, not quantitative theory, and it is based upon a priori analysis. The theory says that whenever central banks set an economic process in motion upon artificially lowering interest rates over a period of time, certain events will be occurring. In an economy like ours that is identified by having large amounts of capital, the fundamental economic relationships between capital and interest will be affected in a predictable way.
(Austrians, who emphasize the a priori analysis of economic science, differ with the mainstream, which holds to an a posteriori view, or what is called "logical positivism." Both camps say that economic theory should be able to qualitatively predict events – i.e. price controls will create shortages – but Austrians hold that if the assumptions are true and the theory is logically constructed, then the theory also is true – and will have the power to predict. Logical positivists, on the other hand, say that assumptions don't matter, and that one can only know a theory's power after an event has occurred. Thus, the "law" of demand, under this viewpoint, really is not a law, but rather a hypothesis that constantly must be "tested" to see if it "holds" under the latest conditions.)
Having established these things, I am able to explain why the ABCT is a qualitative theory about business cycles, not a theory of daily investment strategy. Whenever the central bank helps to create an unsustainable boom, Austrians know that the boom will end in a bust. What Austrians do not know is how long the boom will go on and when the bust will occur. It is one thing to have a general idea of when these things will happen, but quite another to have the specific knowledge that is needed when one engages in the kind of financial speculation in which traders go long and short.
For example, in August 2000, I wrote that the "New Economy" was about to go bust, and four months later, I pointed out why the "dot.coms," which had been the media darlings earlier in the year, were tanking left and right. Two months later, I announced a recession that officially had not hit the books but clearly loomed ahead.
None of these predictions were made because I was a crack day trader, but rather because I understood the ABCT. No, I did not go long during the NASDAQ stock bubble, nor did I go short when the index began its freefall. (Yes, I wish I had done these things, but my excuse was that I was in graduate school at the time and poverty-stricken grad students have no business speculating in stocks, especially when they do not have the means to speculate.)
In a recent paper in The Independent Review, Mark Thornton noted that the economists who most accurately predicted the stock bubble, crash, and subsequent recession were the Austrians. Did all of them go long and sell short? Does it matter?
Ultimately, the power of the ABCT is not whether some economists of the Austrian School rolled the dice on some day trades and made money. The power of the ABCT is grounded in its ability to explain the underlying causes of the boom-and-bust cycle. While political operatives and economists who should have known better were hailing the "New Economy," made possible, they assumed, by higher marginal income taxes and loose money from the Fed, Austrians were singing a very different tune.
In the end, we found that there was no "New Economy," and that whatever was the state of affairs in the last days of the go-go 1990s could not be sustained because it was built on a foundation of inflation. Austrians – and only the Austrians – understood that truth all along. That their knowledge did not result in all of them becoming paper millionaires does not discredit the larger truth of what they knew and when they knew it.

Lander college student dies in hiking accident
May 15, 2013 - By Christina George, Staff Writer
A Wyoming Catholic College student returning home to California with family died last week during an evening hike in Utah.
"People are sad," Matthew Brasmer, WCC vice president for instructional advancement, said May 8. "We had an impromptu prayer service this morning."
Brasmer said the college was notified early May 8 that Christine Elizabeth Allen died May 7 while hiking with her family near Kane Creek Campground in San Juan County in southeastern Utah. He said her body was recovered.
Allen was with her parents and returning home to San Luis Obispo, Calif., after wrapping up her freshman year at the Lander-based school.
"The last time I saw Christine and her mom and dad was Saturday at graduation," Brasmer said. "I presume they left on Sunday."
According to published reports, Allen was exploring the area around 8 p.m. May 7 and climbed up and sat on a rock, measuring 15 feet in diameter, to look at the view. The rock's face broke away, causing the teen to fall and have rocks fall on top of her. Allen reportedly died shortly after the fall. She was 19 years old.
"We are deeply saddened by this tragedy," WCC president the Rev. Robert Cook said in a news release. "We do not know all of the details at this point, but we are working to find out all that we can."
Cook said the college's chaplain is in Utah and is providing immediate support to the Allen family.
"Our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy are with the Allen family, and we ask you to keep them in your prayers," Cook said.
Mass was held for Allen and her family May 8 at the Holy Rosary Catholic Parish in Lander. Allen's older sister is also a student at the college and will begin her senior year in the fall, said WCC academic dean and theology professor Jeremy Holmes.
Holmes taught Allen in the fall semester. With a student body of 117, he said everyone knew everyone.
"Christine was a soft spoken person, very thoughtful," Holmes said.
He recalled the teen's experience with horses and how she shined in the equestrian classes.
"She was a leader in horsemanship in the freshman class," Holmes said. "She was a very graceful, gentle person that everyone loved a great deal. It was impossible not to love her. You never think about this happening to a caring, sweet student like her."
Holmes said Allen wrote about values and the meaning of suffering in her last theology paper for the year.
"I find that a remarkable coincidence," he said.

It was a long way from the "Pearl Harbor in space" that former US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld once warned of. Yet when China destroyed one of its own satellites with a ballistic missile in January, the reaction from Washington was apoplectic.
Was China kicking off an arms race in space, the State Department demanded. Beijing's explanation was slow to come - and guarded when it did. It had no intention of militarising space; its new-found capability to destroy spacecraft posed no threat, it said. As most analysts see it, China was aiming a warning shot at the US, whose own precision strike capability and controversial global missile defence system depend on satellites - including the ubiquitous GPS network.
To ready itself for any attack on such "space assets" the US is spending at least $1 billion per year on space weapons and anti-satellite (ASAT) research. China's approach to smashing ...

Lilongwe — Investors and stakeholders in tourism industry have applauded government for its plans to construct the Mangochi/Monkey-Bay to Cape Maclear road, saying the project will attract investors and help heighten the tourism sector, regarded as one of the major forex earner for the country.
Jumbo Safaris Manager Estobel Richard commended the government for its plans to construct the road which he said has been in bad condition for some time despite playing a very important role of transporting tourists to Lake Malawi's most beautiful scenery and the Lake Malawi National Park.
The National Roads Authority will construct the road.
Richard said investors were failing to start new tourism business in the area because of the bad condition of the road and said the construction of the road will attract more tourists and boost the economy because tourists bring forex into the country. "Government has done a commendable job of starting implementation phases of the road, it is a welcome idea," said Richard.
NRA Public Relations Manager Portia Kajanga said rehabilitation of Mangochi-Monkey Bay road to Cape Maclear will be carried out this year, under the Lakeshore Road Infrastructure Programme to be funded by European Union (EU).
Kajanga said when completed, the road will not only provide better access to markets and social amenities to people in the area but will also greatly boost tourism due to its strategic location.
She said the design consultant; a venture of GAUFF/LOUDO has already reviewed the designs and is finalizing preparation of the tender documents.
She, however, could not be drawn to comment as to how much the project will cost saying that can only be said after scrutinising and awarding of tenders. "According to a tentative timetable that has been put up, the actual road works are expected to commence sometime in August this year and will run up to December 2007. Rehabilitation works will begin from about 1.5 Km before Mangochi Boma, up to Monkey Bay, a total of 64 kilometres," she said.
Kajanga said tenders for Civil Works for the 18 kilometres Cape Maclear Spur and Nakundu Bridge on the Monkey Bay road are being prepared separately but will be launched together with those of the main road.
Minister of Information and Tourism Patricia Kaliati said the construction of the road will be a milestone on the uplifting of tourism, development and economy of the country.
Some of the projects to be carried out by NRA this year, according to Kajanga, include Bunda Mitundu road, Bridges between Balaka and Salima, routine maintenances, normal road maintenances, construction of selected roads in the cities, Dedza customs, Likuni road, and Mzimba spur.

RV Camping - All The Comforts Away From Home
Michigan has an abundance of RV camping sites located along beautiful lakes and in deep forest locations. From the shores of The Great Lakes, to deep woods remote campsites, you should have no trouble finding a great RV camping location just right for you and your family. Below are links to official federal, state, and community public RV camping information, private RV parks, official state tourism information, and tips on finding free camping locations in Michigan.
The following are only a few examples of the many great RV camping locations available in Michigan.
Alpena County offers short term and extended stay RV camping at three campground areas. Their website lists the ammenities, price, and location of these three fine community campgrounds.
The US Forest Service has many developed campgrounds in their managed forests in Michigan. The Black River Campground is a single loop located on a bluff above Lake Superior. 39 campsites include RV dump station and potable water at non site specific locations.
Sunrise Lake State Forest has 17 first come first serve campsites for tent and small RV use. Good trout fishing, hiking access, and a nearby off-road vehicle trail are located near this rustic campground that includes vault toilets and potable water from a well hand pump.
Located along the shores of Lake Superior, Pictured Rocks National Seashore offers first come first serve camping at three campgrounds. No reservations accepted, and early arrival is suggested during peak season.
Pinckney State Recreation Area offers over 200 campsites from rustic to electric sevice equiped RV pads. Fishing, hiking and biking are popular activities.
Over 200 campsites ideal for RV camping can be found at Van Buren State Park. Modern style campsites with electrical service, and modern restrooms. Some campsites have 50 amp service.
USFS (US Forest Service) - Describes USFS policies and rules about RV camping. Information about dispersed camping, and tips on how to find great free RV camping sites.
NPS (National Park Service) - General information about RV camping and campgrounds in US National Parks. With campgrounds in the most historic and scenic places in the country, the NPS offers some of the best places for RV camping.
USACE/COE (US Army Corp of Engineers) - USACE (perhaps better know as COE) manages water recreation areas throughout the USA. Information about finding USACE lakes, RV camping possibilities, and rules and policies for use of these water based recreation areas is included.
BLM (Bureau of Land Management) - Located throughout the western USA, BLM managed lands offer great camping locations. Developed campgrounds, and almost unlimited dispersed camping opportunites await you.
Here's a list of places to consider when looking for a free overnight RV camping or parking location in Michigan. We always recommend asking for overnight RV parking permission when looking for a free spot to spend the night. The smaller your RV, the better chances you will have finding places to stay if you choose not to ask permission. If you don't ask permission, you end up "sneaking" into places and hoping nobody bothers you or issues you a trespassing ticket before you move on.
Be smart and Be Safe...Ask Permission.
As you can see, there are a lot of free RV camping and parking possibilities in Michigan. If you are not asking permission, it's best to keep a very low profile. If your RV has slide outs, jacks and TV antennas, don't use them so as not to draw attention to yourself. Consider your surroundings carefully and if you feel uncomfortable with the area, move somewhere else.

The success of DC Universe Online may depend on whether the title finds an audience among gamers who have yet to enmesh themselves in the addictive MMO genre.
Besides using the DC Comics universe as a setting, the new title is designed to attract new players by offering a slam-bang combat system and gameplay that's relatively quicker than existing MMO titles.
"What felt superheroic was picking up cars and throwing them at people," game director Chris Cao said. "I wanted to make MMOs more fun for more people."
DC Universe Online is scheduled to be released Tuesday, Jan. 11. Sony Online Entertainment is releasing the game for PS3 and PC.
The game allows players to design their own superheroes or supervillains and play under the tutelage of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman or those characters' nemeses, Lex Luthor, Joker and Circe. The storyline casts Superman foe Braniac as lead antagonists, and other DC Universe characters are billed as featured players.
Sony's game is not the only effort to set a well-known fictional universe as the scene of a new MMO. Bioware's "Star Wars: The Old Republic" is set for a springtime release, and Cao laughed a little when asked if he was excited to see his team's game on the market first.
Millions of gamers enjoy massively-multiplayer online games, but any quick scan of the Internet can reveal commentary from many other game fans who stay away from the genre. Titles like Blizzard's "World of Warcraft" or NCsoft's "Aion" can attract players with sprawling virtual worlds, but can repel others simply by the prospect of grinding through long hours of gameplay.
Thus in Cao's words, DC Universe Online comes across as a game designed for the MMO newcomer, if not the MMO skeptic. The game has the character creation and raiding features that are common to MMOs, but also player-versus-player challenges that pit skill against skill. In other words, the idea is for playersto be able to to compete against each other even if they haven't spent every waking hour grinding through level after level.
The game's combat system is designed to be more similar to titles like "Bayonetta" or the "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance" series than other RPG's, CAO said.
Grinding is also reduced compared to other MMOs, he said. Players can reach the game's highest level in 40-50 hours.
"If you want to play another game or another couple games, you will be able to," he said.
DC Universe Online is set to retail for $59.99 on PS3 or $49.99 on PC. Monthly subscriptions are set to cost $14.99 after 30 days. PS3 and PC players will play in separate "universes."
The game is rated T for Teen.

Bristol Rovers' fans view with Dennis Payter
Posted: October 15, 2012|
OUR season is gradually cranking into action thanks to a good away point against a side occupying a play-off position.
We also picked up three points at Exeter when they were third in the table, so it is encouraging to see we are not getting rolled over so easily any more.
It is hard to believe we had been thrashed 3-0 on four occasions in the first six weeks of this campaign.
We were paying for having a very thin squad at the start of the season, but I now hope we can make up for lost time.
Related content
The upturn in form is due to the arrival of Garry Kenneth to organise the defence and Neil Etheridge between the sticks.
They have both given much-needed confidence at the back and suddenly we are much harder to beat. However, it was very disappointing to concede the soft equaliser at the Pirelli Stadium in much the same way as Adebayo Akinfenwa scored against us last week for Northampton.
He converted a long throw into the box virtually unchallenged in the air and this time it was a free-kick which left the Burton scorer with a free header.
We had started in such a positive way and it was ironic that David Clarkson again scored when not playing up front.
Tom Eaves played a big part in the goal in the way he got among their defenders in the air, something we have been missing until now. Clarkson put it away well and if only Eliot Richards could have converted a good chance when through we might have gone on to get the three points.
Instead, Eliot got booked for a poor dive, maybe he can learn something from fellow Welshman Gareth Bale who showed him how to get a penalty against Scotland in Cardiff on Friday night.
We were inevitably pushed back more in the second half at Burton and Eaves was often left isolated up front.
I didn't realise just how short we are of strikers until Adam Virgo came on up front for Joe Anyinsah.
Derek Riordan wasn't fit again. We were told to be patient before Kenneth finally made it into a shirt, so let's hope his fellow Scotsman is soon firing on all cylinders, although he does have a number of other things occupying his time at the moment and his wife and young baby are way up in Scotland.
Talking of strikers it was sad to hear last week that Lewis Haldane has been forced to hang up his boots at such a young age through injury. He was one of the first to wear multi-coloured boots which often matched the colour of his skin as he thrilled us with his dashes down the field.
It was good to hear that Etheridge, our first Philippines international, has agreed to stay with us for another month.
Now if we can get Riordan fit, or another striker in, then perhaps we can go on climbing the table.

Native American Heritage Month
Here are a few interesting news articles and resources to help inspire you:
1. "Incentives And Cultural Bias Fuel Foster System : NPR", n.d., http://www.npr.org/2011/10/25/141662357/incentives-and-cultural-bias-fuel-foster-system. - 3 part investigative report from National Public Radio on American Indians in foster care.
2. Menkart, Deborah. "Deepening the meaning of heritage months." Educational Leadership 56, no. 7 (April 1999): 19-21.
Abstract: Heritage month programs may actually reinforce stereotypes. When planning heritage events, schools should develop learning objectives; address values, history, and current power relationships shaping cultures; employ food and dance in context; include all Americas; portray present-day Native Americans; and examine overall school curriculum and policies.
3. Library of Congress collections for American Indian history and culture. http://nativeamericanheritagemonth.gov/collections/index.html
4. "Celebrating American Indian Heritage | People & Places | Smithsonian Magazine", n.d., http://www.smithsonianmag.com/people-places/american-indian-heritage.html.
Abstract: In honor of this year's National American Indian Heritage Month, Smithsonian.com explores the tragic history of the Cherokees' struggles with Andrew Jackson, takes a look at modern Native artists and investigates how to cook Native foods.
I would love to know what your organization does to celebrate American Indian Heritage Month.

You don't come across many Nobel prizewinners who believe in the paranormal, but Brian Josephson is one of them. After receiving the Nobel prize in physics for his research on superconductivity, his work has taken a very different direction. As well as using mathematics to describe how the brain carries out complex tasks, he is an advocate for cold fusion and other phenomena on the fringes of science. He talked to Alison George about why he thinks scientists have an irrational bias against unconventional ideas.
Why did you decide to give up your highly successful work on superconductors?
In the late 1960s I found my area of research less interesting, so I looked elsewhere for problems to work on. Investigating the mathematics of how the brain works is a much more difficult challenge. I also became interested in eastern philosophy and how that might fit in with physics. I read ...
