Augrabies Falls National Park
Our destination that first night back in South Africa was Augrabies Falls National Park, a three-hour drive from Upington. En route we stopped at a winery / distillery and sampled some lovely wine and even lovelier brandy and liqueurs. The north west is a very dry and barren area, but the inventive South Africans have worked around the conditions and produce some fabulous wines, grapes, raisins, fruit and nuts from this land. We reached Augrabies and didn't expect much more than a waterfall in a dry, dusty area, but instead found a little oasis in the desert and enjoyed it so much, we stayed an extra night. The waterfalls are amazing, but the whole ecosystem of the park is fascinating as you pass through the relative lushness of the river valley to the dry, arid desert. We spent tons of time exploring on foot and also in the car in this massive park. We did a wildlife viewing drive early one day into the larger park and saw Gemsbok (Oryx), Klipspringer, Giraffe, a black Spitting Corbra, tons of Rock Dassies and birds. The drive takes you through this incredibly diverse area that gets close to the river in some areas and
Augrabies Falls National Park
far out into the driest desert in others. We loved this park and recommend anyone visiting the Northern Cape Province to check it out. We also recommend staying in the park. The amenities are great, including two swimming pools available for use by campers (yippeeeee!!!!!!) and clean toilet blocks.
Leaving Augrabies, we headed west toward Springbok and our next stopover. We didn't know if there was a campground in the town, so we asked at the info centre and she recommended we stay at Goegap Nature Reserve if we didn't mind being out of town a little ways. We decided that a Nature Reserve was more our style than a municipal campground and after doing a little grocery shopping headed out to Goegap. We checked in at the office and were advised to take the "tourist drive" around the reserve (we couldn't do the 4x4 drive in our small VW Golf). Being the only car in the reserve made for a very nice, leisurely drive. We took our time, drove slowly, took tons of photos and enjoyed the beauty of the nature reserve around us. We saw Gemsbok, Sprinkbok, Rock Dassies, and array of birds and lizards and a
Augrabies Falls National Park
puppy. Yup - a puppy. Out in the middle of nowhere, there is a puppy (maybe a golden retriever pup) sitting high up on a rock ledge looking around. Not sure how he got there, not sure who was his owner, and he didn't come down when we called him, so we don't know what happened to him. Very strange, since we were the only campers in the whole place too.
The next morning we were up early and off for a day of driving, with the coast being our next destination. We had found this little back road on a map (the fact that it wasn't on all the maps should have been a clue ...) and headed off to see some of the lesser known sights of the Northern Cape. What we didn't realize is that the road was so rough and corrugated, it took us over four hours to travel approx. 150 km. This called for Plan B. Plan B was to take the cutoff road that passed through Namaqualand National Park and then put us back near the main road. Once we set off on the second road, the surface improved immensely. We were able
Augrabies Falls National Park
to travel at a constant speed and not feel like the car was going to fall apart around us! It was just as we passed out of Namaqualand National Park (the place to be for the spring flowers by the way) that we saw a small antelope on the side of the road. We had seen a couple along the way, but they were too far away for us to snap a shot of one. This little guy was just meters away so we stopped and fumbled for the camera. By the time we got the camera out of the bag, the little guy panicked and tried to jump through the fence. He was unsuccessful and managed to get one of his hind legs tightly caught in the fence. We jumped out of the car to help him and after we realized that we couldn't just bend the wire fence to let his leg free, I told Peter to cut the wire. He wasn't so sure his little Leatherman could do the job, so he gripped the wire with the pliers and cut with all his might. The wire snapped immediately and the little Steenbok landed on his head and
Augrabies Falls National Park
then jumped up and bounded quickly away. We knew he wasn't hurt and we felt a little proud at saving a wild animal on our travels!
After our "Animal Rescue 911" moment, we hopped back into the car with the aim of making it to a winery or two before closing and then finding a campsite for the night. Unfortunately our wine tasting plans did not pan out, but we did manage to find a superb camping spot for the night. We ended up in Strandfontein, a beautiful little vacation spot on the coast near Vredendal. The site came recommended by the helpful staff at the Namaqualand Winery, although they were unable to ply us with wine, this was an excellent recommendation!
We had a lovely spot overlooking the water, a toilet, shower, sink and wash sink all to ourselves (we had our own key to these facilities) and friendly neighbors to boot. The couple across from us had also been at Augrabies and recognized us and came over to say hello. They were a delightful couple from the Kimberley area and they were generous enough to share their hot water with us in the morning so we could

have a cup of coffee! We would have loved to stay longer, but we were on a time schedule, having told Peter's cousins when we would be back in Cape Town. We packed up and headed off to see if we could find the wine tasting cellar of Namqualand and any other wineries along our way. The first one we stopped at was expecting a group in a few minutes and asked if we wouldn't mind to wait and go through the tasting together. We agreed and enjoyed a stroll around the shady garden of the Seal Breeze winery while we waited for the other guests to arrive. The group turned out to be a 4x4 tour with participants mostly from the Johannesburg or Northern Cape Province areas. The wine and the garden setting was lovely, but it was the tour group the left the biggest impression. Most were surprised to meet foreigners in this out of the way place, but were also happy that we got off the beaten track to explore more of South Africa. We ended up chatting with a few people and finally had to tear ourselves away as we had a fairly long day ahead
Augrabies Falls National Park
of us. A few miles down the road we came upon the Namaqualand Wine Cellar that is set up to do tastings and we couldn't resist one more stop. It was definitely worth our while to stop and sample some of their delicious wines, grapes, raisins, and homemade jams. We ended up having lunch and buying more wine than we could carry home, but we didn't care. The best part was as we were leaving, the woman who had been helping us came running out to our car and handed us a large bag of grapes "for the road". What a wonderful treat!
We headed inland toward Clanwilliam and the heart of Rooibos country. We visited the Rooibos Factory and learned that all the rooibos products in the world are supplied from this Rooibos Factory. There are some smaller independant farms cropping up here and there, but for the most part, all the rooibos grown in this area (the only place in South Africa that it is grown commercially) is processed through the Clanwilliam Rooibos Factory.
We turned "Caspar" the friendly car toward the coast again and made our way to Lambert's Bay, a place that Peter was
Augrabies Falls National Park
anxious to see. Lambert's Bay is home to one of only six Cape Gannet colonies in the world. The unique Bird Island Nature Reserve is connected to the mainland by a narrow breakwater and is home to the most accessible Cape Gannet colony in the world. We spent the night in the Lambert's Bay caravan park, again overlooking the ocean, although we had to use the shared facilities (sigh ...). The following morning we set out for Bird Island and marvelled at the beautiful, blue-eyed Gannets for ages.
When we finally tore ourselves away from Lambert's Bay we headed off to Franschoek, in the Cape Winelands region. We stayed at a huge institutional hostel, but it was close to town and inexpensive and the owners were friendly and welcoming. They recommended a couple of wineries to us to visit the next day. We set off early (no tent to pack - YAY!) and were the first visitors to the Cabriere Wine Estate and enjoyed several samples. The next stop was not a winery at all, but rather a wine shop, so we hopped back into Caspar and made our way toward Stellenbosch and the home of our favourite South
Augrabies Falls National Park
African Wine - Stellakaya. We lucked out at our very first visit to Stellakaya and had a fabulous tasting with one of the accountants of all people, on our second visit we were not as as fortunate as the winery was closed. This being our third visit, we crossed our fingers for at least an open winery! Things did not look that promising as the tasting area was closed for a private function and most of the staff were busy involved with the event so they could not help us. Then luck swung our way and the winemaker herself came out to assist us. You may remember us mentioning that she is the fist Xhosa woman winemaker in the world. She not only got our order together, she also made a couple of phone calls to inquire about shipping their wine to Canada and also found us a contact in Ontario that brings in Stellekaya as part of a wine club. We left the winery laden with bottles of wine to take home for us and some information on how we could possibly aquire more once we were home - we were definitely very happy campers!
Back in Cape
Augrabies Falls National Park
Town we stayed with Dee and Sydney again - thank you Dee and Syd for your hospitality! We managed to visit almost everyone in our short time. We were also able to sell our tent to a couple we had met in Namibia who would be travelling in South Africa for another 6 weeks. We were happy that our tent could continue on it's travels, it was a great little tent and perfect for backpacking. Tamara and Clayton were happy to have a cheaper alternative for accommodation and hoped that when they were done with it, they could pass it along again! We hope so too!
After a little souvenir shopping we had to get on with the task of repacking all our gear and sorting out some of the things that would not make the trip home with us. Of course packing the wine properly was a priority! We managed somehow to get every thing into our bags - we didn't even need to use the extra bag that we purchased - just in case! The shocker though, was getting to airport and having to pay for our overweight luggage. We just had not thought about the weight
Augrabies Falls National Park
at all and since we were flying with a budget carrier, they charge for every ounce of weight you are over! We sucked it up and paid, but it made us nervous for the rest of our flights, particularly our budget flight from London to Calgary. We spent quite a bit of time scheming about how to redistribute our weight to pay the least amount in overweight charges.
The flight to Johannesburg was uneventful and since we had pre-booked with a hostel (not in a township this time!) we had someone come pick us up. We spoke to Roger once we were established in our hostel and had a great dinner out with him and his girlfriend. He insisted that we come and stay with him for our last night and he would get us to the airport the next day. We agreed, as we had pretty much come to the conclusion that Jo'burg is a tough city to be a tourist in. All the backpackers and hostels are in suburbs and it costs you money to be transported everywhere. We did take advantage of the City and Soweto Tour offered at our backpackers and then had them drop
Augrabies Falls National Park

us off at the Apartheid Musuem. We are glad that we took the tour, as we both had images of downtown Jo'burg in our minds that were very false. I imagined gangs wandering the streets with guns, looking to rob any unsuspecting tourist. Peter was sure that all the abandoned buildings would have broken windows and we would see down and out people on every street corner. The reality was much more boring, with busy shops, people on their way to work and not a gun toting gangster in sight! We went up to the highest point in Jo'burg and enjoyed views over the sprawling city. It is true that many downtown buildings are abandoned, but the government is cracking down on the building owners demanding they renovate the buildings or the government will take ownership. It has worked as several buildings are being renovated and it is important to South Africa that Jo'burg is an approachable city for the 2010 World Cup. I hope they succeed.
Soweto is city of it's own and the tour is a little lame, set up for the tourists for sure. I wouldn't be afraid to go into Soweto on my own, and
Augrabies Falls National Park
if I ever find myself in Jo'burg again, I would like to stay in Soweto. We did visit Nelson Mandela's home; a musuem that honours the first child killed in the 1976 uprising, 12-year old Hector Pieterson and of course we finished with the Apartheid Musuem. In terms of human brutality, it was an emotionally exhausting day. It never ceases to amaze me what harm man can do another man. The Apartheid Musuem is a definite must see for any visitor to Jo'burg. It is impossible to understand the mentality that ushered in this regime, but it is so important for us to educate ourselves so that this does not happen again.
Our stay in Jo'burg ended with an enjoyable braii evening with Roger and friends and a comfy bed at his place. Thanks Roger! We packed up again, this time needed the extra bag we purchased as we picked up our hiking boots and rain coats from Roger. We had left them in Nelspruit with John when we left last time, and John managed to get them back to Roger, who had them waiting for us on our way through! Thanks John and Roger! We appreciate you helping

us out with our hiking gear!
We managed to get on our Qatar Airways flight without much ado, they were only concerned with the weight of the carry on luggage and did not charge us for our overweight bags - whew! The flight was via Doha, Qatar and was a very pleasant flight overall. The food was good, they were feeding us every hour it seemed, and the seats were surprisingly comfy. We had a 5-hour layover in Doha on our way to London, but it went quite quickly and the next thing we knew we were off to London!
Yes, folks - there will be ONE more blog! We will get this next one off much quicker I promise!
Thanks for still following along ...

A Happy Or Meaningful Life? How About A JOYPOSEFUL Life!

Happiness, I have found, is like a fruity, sweet mimosa- - soft, pleasant and fun, but somewhat flimsy. A joyposeful life, on the other hand, is like a heady, thick cabernet or smooth, aged bourbon -- impactful, multidimensional, complex and substantial.

Originally written on Football Nation | Last updated 9/17/12
It's another gloomy day in Cleveland. After Sunday's road loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Cleveland Browns drop to 0-2 on the year.For most teams in the NFL, this wouldn't be any reason to press the panic button and jump ship.But the Browns have now lost their last eight contests, dating back to November of last year when they won a nail-biter over the Jacksonville Jaguars. I propose a simple formula: in order to win games, quarterback Brandon Weeden needs to throw for 322 yards and 2 TDs, tailback Trent Richardson must rack up 145 yards of total offense, and the team has to score 27 points.But wait a second. The Browns did all that and more yesterday, yet still managed to leave Paul Brown Stadium with the short end of the stick.Who's to blame for this? What's the cause of such misfortune?It must be a curse. After all, Cleveland sports enthusiasts are more inclined to believe in spiritual superstitions than any other city's fans in professional sports. The drive, the fumble, the...

I was wondering if you could list those "can't miss" places to eat in the DLR area, if offsite, please make sure it's within walking distance of the parks.
I also need some reviews on Carnation Cafe for breakfast and Blue Bayou for Lunch/Dinner. Yay, nay or anything inbetween.
All ideas would be most appreciated.

DadLabs Ep. 275 Daditude - Since this week at DadLabs is all about reading to kids, we decided to bring you another episode of Owen's Reading Nook. This time, our gingery literary master gives his own interpretation to a genuine classic - Curious George by H. A. Rey. As you have never seen it before. George is a lucky monkey - he gets thrown in a sack, goes to prison, meets a pedophile and ends up living in a zoo. The book always is better than the movie, isn't it? This video is brought to you by BabyBjorn.


text: W e have now to consider what we can say of poetry during the early development between say 1100 and 900 B.C., when the migrations were occurring with all the misery and cruelty so brilliantly portrayed by Gilbert Murray in the Rise 0f the Greek Epic,1 when the aristocrats were becoming self-conscious, when a League of Ionian cities was forming round the altar on Mykale, but before the League was complete, before the political change had fully developed, before enough prosperity had returned or enough self-confidence to honour the Mycenaean heroes with hero cults and games and to name kings after Hektor, Agamemnon, or Aeneas. Memory of stories connected with the gods probably survived where cult places were continuously tended. The second kind of Mycenaean poetry, the songs sung in honour of dead kings at their anniversaries, may have survived at Athens, where Homer knows of the cult of Erechtheus. Whether Iolkos will prove to be another such centre, where above all Argonaut poetry would be preserved, is still uncertain. The kind of Mycenaean poetry that could travel was the third kind, the poetry improvised for special occasions by warrior singers and court singers. The Ionian migration was a mixed migration and each element would bring its own poetry about its own heroes, but this kind of Mycenaean poetry was international in the sense that it had to be intelligible to visitors from other centres and it had to include the deeds of heroes in other centres. Because the new cities were mixed, the great international undertakings of the Mycenaeans are likely to have been particularly popular with audiences. But in these Ionian settlements one strain was dominant, the Pylian-Attic. The majority of the settlements started from Attica; the new inspiration____________________

Excellent driver, clean vehicle, help with baggage.
Arrived on time to pick us up. Very professional! Will definitely use this service again.
Driver on time and got us to the station with all kinds of time to spare.
Driver was 5 minutes early picking us up and was very nice. Would use this service again!
Again great to be looked after in person.
Driver was on time and pleasant.
The driver was there early which we liked.. Helped with our luggage and we were at the airport in a timely fashion.
The driver was right on time and very nice. It was much easier than trying to schedule a taxi.
Right on time to hotel and we got to train in plenty of time.
Great service and the driver even did a mini-tour as we drove to the station.
London pick up was very timely and we loved traveling on the Eurostar
On time. Not sure driver spoke English. But he got us where we were going and arrived on time.
They were there to get us right on time, I prefer not to be dragging luggage in and out out subways, busses and cab. this service is worth it to us.
This was an exception ride. We were met at hotel at the precise time planned. Because of the perfect time of this ride, we got to see Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. That is what I can an added bonus!

Driver was on time and pleasant.

Our driver arrived at our hotel on time, was extremely helpful and friendly and got us to our train with time to spare! What more could you ask for?
Honestly,thedriver was punctual and helpful with our luggage and this was a very very secure booking to catch the Chunnel or Eurostar to Paris. When you are in another country there are naturally feelings that perhaps something MIGHT GO wrong. Here is a very secure transfer and highly recommended by these americans in london.
Excellent service! The car was right on time, plenty of space for passengers and luggage. The driver was curtious, knowledgeable and offered superb information on how to get through the train station.
The transportation was on time and the driver was at the station waiting for the passengers arrival with name plate displayed.
The driver was on time, polite and helpful. The car was spacious for three travelers with good sized luggage each.
This shuttle was very good and pick up driver showed up 5 min. before pick up time.
This was a perfect way to leave London. The driver was prompt and dropped us off right at the front door. We were so glad we booked our departure pick-up.
Went without a hitch. The driver showed up exactly on time, helped us with our luggage and pointed us in the right direction at the station.

There's no style rest for A-list celebs who are constantly being stalked by paparazzi. Even their yoga clothes need to be perfectly selected.
Luckily, Naomi Watts and Reese Witherspoon passed the gym-bound fashion test earlier this week in Los Angeles.
The off-screen buddies recently met up for an early morning stretch session with friends.
Not only do they both look incredibly fit in their skin-tight pants, but they maintain a distinct sense of dress despite essentially wearing the exact same thing.
PHOTOS: See more celebs dressed to sweat it out at the gym!
The Diana star's short-sleeved hoodie has a sportier feel than the Legally Blonde star's plain grey top, as do her simple black sneaks.
Reese, on the other hand, prefers her athletic gear girly. Neon pink shoes and white butt stripe spandex complete her look.
In the end, the real message of this moment is that all those things they say about L.A. are true. A-listers pall around to yoga, paparazzi track their every move and fashion lovers savor it up like candy!
PHOTOS: Bet you didn't know these celebs were BFFs!

Summary:I bought a set of these -fitted- with dgs400 in them 1-PW ! in 2000 . I stopped playing as much in 2010 and started coming out of them so I sold them . That was a bad mistake nothing,nothing came close to how these felt even Hogan Apex tour were nowhere near. So the other week I found a very good cond. set with Rifle 6.0 in them and I'm back in love. I still have the 1+2 irons from the original set. Getting back into the game now I'm shooting around +16
after being a 9 H/C. I've had a lesson and found my strike again and boy do these feeeel gooood . The rifles work nicely with my swing and I regret ever selling my first set . If you play a semi-blade try these out because they are really user friendly for a blade . Those people who tell you to stay away from blades should shut up and say "try some MP33's" .The rewards are unbeatable . As another chap on here said ,the smug factor on Tee#1 is off the scale as they stand there with £800 ping frying pans lol.

Are ultrasound tests during pregnancy risky?
Like with any medical test, you're looking at the risks of the tests and the benefits you are going to gain from it.
And most people believe that if there are any risks of ultrasound,
they are so, so minimal and the benefit you're going to gain from the knowledge that you get from the ultrasound is outweighed by any potential risks.
What are the benefits of ultrasound?
You use them to document fetal viability.
You use them to estimate, or not estimate, to identify the number of fetuses that are present, you identify the amniotic fluid volume,
you locate the placenta and then you look at the size of the baby to make sure the growth is normal, and at around 20 weeks, around 18-20 weeks,
you can evaluate many, many of the fetal anatomic structures and make sure that all of the fetal anatomic structures are developing normally.
So, basically, you can use it to access a variety of different potential fetal problems.
Okay, but structurally mostly right?
Not all structurally.
But you can't tell genetically can you?
No, you can't tell genetically without a genetics test,
but there are some structural anomalies or patterns of structural anomalies
that are suggestive of genetic syndrome that may lead you to do testing for that genetic syndrome if you see a certain constellation of ultrasound findings.
Like what?
There's a disorder called Beckwith-Wiedemann. it's associated with a large baby, a tongue that protrudes out, so if you see a large baby, a tongue that's protruding, you may think about that.
Something called Meckle-Gruber Syndrome, their kidneys have cysts in them, I mean you can have a neural tube defect.
So, if you see that constellation, then that may tip you to go and recommend invasive testing to definitively diagnose the syndrome.
Are there any treatments, prenatally for those?
There are some disorders that are amenable or you can improve outcome with prenatal treatment, but many of the disorders no,
it's just having the diagnosis, is, but it does give you the opportunity to learn about the disorder, make decisions about how you want to manage a pregnancy,
and there are some disorders for which intervention right at the time of birth is important. For instance, a cardiac defect.
There are some fetal cardiac defects that need to be addressed immediately.
In other words, the baby needs to be taken from the delivery room to the operating room. Waiting time is going to increase the chances of compromise.
Learn how your baby grows.

Many commercial virus products can't meet 140-2 standard
NIST standard could curtail agency buys
Cryptographic Module Validation Program
Antivirus vendor McAfee has informed the General Services Administration that it now has an antivirus product that complies with the newest Federal Information Processing Standard for cryptography.
FIPS 140-2 applies to cryptographic modules. Its predecessor, FIPS 140-1, was created in 1994. Compliance with the standard is mandatory, and lawmakers ended the waiver process that allowed agencies to bypass it as part of the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002, said Randall Easter, who leads the Cryptographic Module Validation Program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Until recently, no antivirus applications complied with the new cryptographic standard, procurement observers said. Most vendors have only recently begun to redesign their products so that they pass FIPS 140-2 certifications. McAfee is the first to report compliance to GSA. The Office of Management and Budget is now working on guidance, according to an OMB spokeswoman.
Cryptographic modules provide encryption, but they have a broader use in software. They perform services necessary for digital signatures, random number generation, e-authentication and other security functions. A cryptographic module may not offer any encryption services, but it still must receive certification that it meets the standard, Easter said.
He said he doubts that companies have many untested and unapproved products. FIPS 140-2 dates to 2001, according to a NIST Web site. Companies have had time to get their technology certified, he said. FIPS 140-1 is also still acceptable.
Other analysts, however, believe that antivirus vendors in particular, long attuned to consumer and commercial markets, are having difficulty with the newest cryptographic standard. GSA had put out a call for antivirus vendors to enter SmartBuy volume-licensing agreements but found none that could meet the requirements until McAfee did. The news came to GSA earlier this month, GSA spokesman Jon Anderson said.
"This is indeed an issue for us because we're given the ideal standard we need to purchase to, and industry may be just rolling out products meeting this standard and not many exist," Anderson said. "Or industry may still be researching or questioning the business viability of such a standard and hasn't yet provided a product meeting this standard. In other words, we're directed to provide a product meeting a standard that's not yet industrywide or may even be beyond industry at the moment."
McAfee's news allows GSA to begin the procurement process on behalf of agencies, Anderson said.
The Defense Department signed an enterprise license with Symantec in 2005 under its Enterprise Software Initiative, covering antivirus and other Symantec products. Anderson said he was unsure how DOD was able to do so.
Chip Mather, senior vice president of Acquisition Solutions, said the issue is likely to run much deeper than antivirus software. "[If] you start to peel this onion, you're going to find a lot of products that have" cryptography modules, he said.
Antivirus products probably struggle to meet the standard because of a lack of awareness, not an inability to meet the criteria, Easter said.
"Your first thought is, 'It's antivirus, not cryptography,' but someone dug a little deeper and found that antivirus [software] does use cryptographic modules and so 140-2 does apply," he said.
John Pescatore, security analyst and a vice president at Gartner, also said a lack of awareness is the likely culprit in the failure to comply.
"The people selling pure cryptography software, they were getting certified years ago," he said. "But for embedded cryptography you run into this."
McAfee may have been the first to tell the General Services Administration that its antivirus application now conforms to Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2, but it may not have been the first to achieve the milestone.
In 2004, Fortinet, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., announced that the cryptography module used in its product line, including its antivirus applications, had passed the test.
Other companies have also made some progress. Symantec announced in 2005 that it had gained FIPS 140-2 certification for a module used in its pcAnywhere product.
In 2004, F-Secure announced compliance with the standard for its Cryptographic Library for Windows module, used in its SSH Server for Windows Version 5.30.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at Telkom Indonesia (Jakarta (Indonesia)) in November 2014.
Just normative questions, nothing too deep, nothing too personal, just formalities and they are more interested in my previous employers and why do i want to move to Telkom. Met my hiring manager at first and then the formal process starts, got called in few weeks later for the formal interview and then signing some sort of MoU that i will join and my actual contract only came about 2 months after i'm already working full time.

Miami Valley , Whitewater Valley, and the I-71 corridor of Ohio/Indiana:
A trough in the Eastern part of the country will keep cooler than average air around. Several disturbances will rotate across the region from the NW over a marginally humid air mass. With daytime heating tomorrow scattered showers and storms will form by pm. Some may have small hail and gusty winds due to the cold upper levels of the atmosphere. Any storms that do from could produce locally heavy rainfall or flash flooding issues due to their slow moving nature. This pattern continues through most of early next week keeping sunshine around mixed with some chances for showers and storms midweek.
Long range:
Late week appears to warm a bit as the trough begins to flatten out a bit. This however shows no signs of completely letting up. Highs may reach the middle 80s late week but lows continue to drop into the 50s and lower 60s which is unusually cool for this time of year. There are no signs of any August style heat waves in the future.

hotter though
Type: Posts; User: GoatMilk
hotter though
Dodger fans suck
they always leave early
even when down 2 runs and kemp and ethier hitting the inning previous meaning mark ellis/james loney/juan uribe have to start a rally
oh wait. freaking...
21 and cant grow a beard :/
you can see the outline on my face, put it maxes out after about 2 weeks and is really patchy. patchy as in peach fuzz pretty much. not patchy like a quarter size part of...
im loving this
unlike other teams who go on hot starts, the dodgers at least have some pretty damn good players. keep it close til the deadline, hopefully upgrade and you never know
Kemp and...
kemp and bautista should have been solo MVPs
i stopped watching family guy a few years ago because it sucks now
i started watching this and was like, meh
but the trailer ended up being pretty funny
the last part had me cracking up when he...
there's just no doubt we're going to sign Hamilton or Quentin and they will get hurt immediately
Rangers, please extend Hamilton
I dont want to see the Dodgers overpay for him
i liked what I saw from him last year. pretty good pitcher
would be great, but i just can't see him leaving the giants
who knows though. you think they'd extended him by now
that's the plan :cool:
as for Hamilton, i'd take him on a 3 year deal. he'll never go for it though. he should probably stick to the AL. too fragile
it's a good question
i do believe that the Dodgers being contenders every year would be bigger than the Lakers. it was in the past
they share the city very well though.
he's starting to thin on top, but i dont think he dyes it
Deron Williams does though
i just want Ned Colletti gone. NOW
if the dodgers are the ones pitching, i would want Carlos Ruiz at the plate.
new jays hat
cards red hat
red sox
a's home hat
my favs(except giants, but it's definitely a nice look. and no particular order. dont want to offend anyone)
i paid 4.35 this morning, and trust me, thats as cheap as you can get. Arco is like a few cents cheaper, but it cancels out with a .45 fee when you use a card. well not cancel out all the way, but...
Sloan, MDA and Nate is what everyone is talking about
25M starting 2014!
20M this year
20M next year
oh yeah
SLAM magazine contests
a backpack, and 2 pairs of shoes
turn a free agent signing into a young PG
good job Portland if it happens imo
when kenny met shane's brother for the first time, it was pretty hilarious
perfect, "what the ****"
this is the last year of his contract.
do you work for the Warriors? :p
good post

Hi, I just got my SGR with 2.3.5 on and flashed an older version of ardadat's kernel with the older but more straight-forward odin method (also resulted in yellow triangle at boot). What I want to know is wether Titanium backup pro will be able to backup EVERYTHING (including app/game save data/progress etc, all settings...) and restore it after getting on to Titanium ROM. Also, should I follow the tutorial on the Titanium rom thread, considering that I already have a modified kernel; I mean, will there be any issues with flashing the new rom over the stock + ardadat's kernel ?

Stopping a stomach from rumbling or growling is not always possible because the sounds the stomach makes are an outgrowth of its natural processes. However, by eating regularly, eating small meals and avoiding foods which produce a large amount of gas, it is possible to minimize stomach sounds. There are also a few tricks one can use to try to prevent the sounds.
Doctors call the stomach's natural sounds "borborygmi," an onomatopoetic word which mimics the actual rumblings and growlings of the stomach and related digestive organs. The stomach and intestines pass food along through waves of contractions called peristalsis. When these contractions occur, they push forward a mixture of food, digestive juices and air. The borborygmus results from these contractions and pockets of air being pushed forward.
A person who finds these noises embarrassing or uncomfortable can try to regulate his or her digestive system by avoiding foods that contain or produce excess amounts of gas, such as baked beans, onions or carbonated beverages. Eating small meals frequently also keeps the digestive system moving at a constant pace and limits the amount of air in the system. When a person becomes hungry, the digestive system begins peristalsis to clean itself out, and all that air in the empty spaces can produce the rumbling and growling noises. One last trick that often works to limit a rumbling stomach is to press down on the stomach with a finger or pencil; the compression of the stomach limits the noises.
