focusfaith Fullview MB is 131
Cornerstone marks decades of service
It may have been raining outside, but July 1, inside the sanctuary at Fullview Missionary Baptist Church, 7100 Memphis-Arlington Road, the "Son" was shining gloriously. The church was celebrating its 131th year anniversary. Members and friends were also celebrating the inset of the cornerstone placed at the front entrance of the church, facing Oak Road.
To a near-capacity crowd of 700 people Rev. Walter Peggs, pastor at Fullview along with his wife Wilma, praised the spirit of those who had gone before.
"We celebrate the years of service from dedicated members, and also celebrated the newly installed Cornerstone," Peggs said. "We recall our beginnings worshipping in a bush harbor 131 years ago to the present facility built in 2004. We celebrate the founding pioneers, and their vision, and also the gifted and committed members who have made contributions to the advancement of the Gospel and Kingdom."
The theme of the day was "Faithful Service." The service began with the special music from the church's full choir. The music was followed with a presentation of stories full of memories of the history of Fullview MB. Those speaking were members that had joined the church more than 60 years ago. Many were descendents of past members.
Hanna Hirsch recalled that "the old pioneers began worshipping in a bush harbor because they had no money to build a church building. She added they were looking to be spiritually and educationally fed and Fullview "later implemented what became a school, church, caretaker for the sick and even provided a final resting place."
Deacon James Nelson remembered when he used to have to sit on "'the seekers' bench.' It was the most uncomfortable place to have to sit." Nelson said those who wanted to be saved had to sit on the bench placed in front of the pastor until they understood his teaching. Understanding the plan of salvation was the necessary step before baptism.
"Baptism was much more difficult than today. We were baptized in a pond behind the Fullview school (located behind the former church building). I've seen as many as 42 be baptized in one Sunday," recalled Nelson.
Juanita Anderson, a member since age 10 is now almost 88 years old. She recalled her family being quite active in the church. Anderson was reminded of the days when tithes were called dues. "On Sunday mornings each person's dues were recorded and announced during the service. It took a lot of time."
Charles Jones, who became a deacon in 1965 remembered when services were only held on the first and third Sunday. Deacon Jones explained that the older generation of yesterday paved the way for him and that he, like others, has tried to continue that tradition.
Levina Jones, better known as "Mother Jones," talked about Lula Robinson, now deceased, who was faithful in bringing freshly cut and arranged flowers to Sunday services for everyone to enjoy. She believes that Fullview continues to be a family oriented church. "We have lots of love here, and a wonderful leader."
Deacon Nelson ended the reflections speaking about his admiration for Fullview's pastor. "I believe that Pastor Peggs speaks the truth. The purpose of Fullview Missionary Baptist Church is to save souls and that's the backbone of our church." Nelson ended by quipping, "At Fullview, salvation is free or we'll give your money back."
Following was a dynamic message by the church's pastor. The message asked the question, "What do you do when circumstances contradict your faith?" The answer, "stand on the word of God," was a reaffirmation of the members' reflections of the church's past as well as encouragement for the present.
The Cornerstone ceremony began promptly after the service with a number of Masonic Members from the Golden Leaf Lodge No. 130, Joppa Lodge No. 314 and Esther Chapter No. 68 of the Eastern Star of the Prince Hall Free Masons. The Masons performed the cornerstone ritual inside due to inclement weather. The cornerstone itself had already been placed at the front entrance of the new church that faces Oak Road. After the ceremony, a delicious meal prepared by Fullview's kitchen staff was served in the Family Life Center.

Almost had a good Harley story...
... And then they bent me over for $565 for a tire.
I was heading from Calgary down to Idaho for vacation on my Monster and had to make an emergency stop in Cranbrook, BC. I left Calgary around lunch with decent tread on the tires and a full tank of gas and my wife driving my truck with my kids. She was being the best wife ever and let me ride so I would have my bike for our month long stay in Coeur D'Alene. Topped up my fuel in Coleman, checked the bike and headed for Cranbrook, in 40 degree temps. When I pulled in for fuel and was checking the bike, I noticed this:
Obviously I was going nowhere on that tire and the search began in town for a replacement. The only shop with one was the Harley dealer and with only 25 minutes before closing, they agreed to help me out. New tire installed in less than 30 minutes (with my wife giving me dirty looks) and we were on our way, right after I paid.
Turns out in Cranbrook, tires are ridiculously expensive. $565 installed for one Dunlop D209HD!!! I almost died. When I questioned it he said "that's an expensive tire. I paid and left because my wife was dying to get going as the kids were getting antsy after a long slow drive through a ton of construction.
After looking at the invoice, they charged me $120 in labour(standard tire change, according to the service guy), charged for wheel weights that they didn't use because they couldn't balance my wheel and $365 for the tire. Add a pile in taxes and my ass is still sore.
To make matters worse, my new set of tires that I ordered Tuesday should be arriving today, although now the rear isn't needed for a while. I paid about $300 for a set, delivered to our summer rental!!
Moral of the story, stay away from the Harley dealer in Cranbrook and don't leave for a road trip without fresh tires. Even though they appeared to have a fair bit of life left, I'm assuming the high temperatures, rough roads and some spirited riding shortened the last bit of life.
I had a similar experience last year but with a happier ending. I needed a new tire for my Aprilia on a Monday while on a trip. The Hon/Kaw/Suz/Yam dealer in Wytheville, VA had a tire that would fit but wouldn't mount it on an Aprilia. Next I called the local Victory/Polaris dealer. They also had a tire. They said come on over. I was in and out in about an hour, tire mounted and balanced for somewhere around $150. The name of the dealer was Hilltop Cycle.
Obviously you got a more expensive tire but $120 for mounting?? I think I paid $45 or $50.
I've had experiences good and bad with Harley Davidson dealers when out on extended road trips and needing parts or service on my HD. Sounds like you learned a valuable lesson when it comes to leaving on a trip with anything other than new or almost new tires.
If it's any consultation even all but the wealthiest Harley riders refer to the dealership as "The Stealer" and like me do my own work and tire changes or seek out good independent shops.
Gotta say......being out on the road and needing help sure leaves you at the mercy of the helper! Been there done that.
I'm pissed that the shop took advantage of a rider who was obviously against a wall, but happy the tire didn't come apart and send me off the road. In the end, I learned two things: New tires sooner and the Cranbrook Harley dealer is a scam.
Harley dealers that worked me over: Zion Harley Davidson in Utah and the now defunct Coeur D'alene HD in Idaho.
My good list of shops that helped me and didn't rake me over the coals:
Kamloops HD in Canada and a family owned shop Lawrence HD in Coeur D'alene that put me ahead of their other shop work when I showed up with a bald rear tire, had me back on the road in no time and charged a very fair price.
I think that pulling into a HD dealer and finding them to have the correct size tire, actually taking you out of service order (especially on an off brand bike) and removing, mounting, balancing (Sort of) and replacing in 30 minutes during the busiest month of the year for that amount of money makes you fortunate.
I get that over years some of us have been privileged to work with great (and cheap) service deparments but in todays world of people not even changing their own oil, you are luck to not need to wait a week for help.
Good reminder that leaving some tread on the old tire is better than trying to get every last bit out of it.
Glad you caught the tread loss before you wrecked, I found a guy one day who didn't.
Tires in a pinch = $$$
Hard way to go but as they said, life goes on. Like any other brand, got some good HD dealers and some, not so much.
Stay safe man..
Yhat's downright highway robbery for sure. Seems like a criminal offense really! :huh

Health-benefit costs rise
Is Meg Whitman up to running HP?
Meg Whitman is allegedly a top pick to be Hewlett-Packard's next CEO, but the to-do list is massive and it's unclear whether swapping leaders will make that much of a difference, says columnist Larry Dignan of CNET News.
The logic of cutting payroll taxes
Payroll taxes are by no means the only thing that stops people from working, but one of President Obama's payroll tax cut proposals could nonetheless create a million or more jobs, according to economics professor Casey B. Mulligan.
Making pay-for-performance plans pay off
Pay for performance systems are easy to get wrong — encouraging the wrong behaviors while creating uncertainty and resentment. Here are four steps to getting them right, developed with the input of turnaround CEO Bob Papes.
Oregon foreclosures trending down
Markedly fewer home foreclosures are being filed in 2011, according to the latest figures released by Eugene-based Gorilla Capital, the state's largest purchaser of homes sold at foreclosure auction.
Oregon unemployment ticks higher
Job cuts in Oregon government, primarily at school districts, have helped keep the state's unemployment rate high. Oregon's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 9.6 percent in August, up slightly from 9.5 percent in July.
The customer is always right — and talkative
Customer's expectations are at an all-time high and for a lot of people and a lot of companies, it is frightening. For years businesses have been able to get by treating people mediocre and still making the deal. They were able to hold a high gross profit all while having a low customer satisfaction number. Well not anymore.
Create trust with the humble job description
The danger of structural unemployment
Politicians are going to great lengths to avoid talking about the real effect of structural unemployment that we are now facing. This oblivious attitude, this constant pointing to the sliver of sunlight on dark and dreary days, is not only wishful thinking but destructive.

Customer Reviews
October 2014
Very much enjoyed the National Park part of the tour. We drove in the large 4-wheel drive vehicle along the beach first. There were wild pigs and lots of interesting birds. We than visited some fishermen's houses and went into the woods. We saw some deer and wild pigs again. Then we drove through some interesting large sand dunes surrounding and covering up pine trees, while the guide explained how the dunes move across the landscape. I thought the park was fascinating for the flora and the fauna.
We then had lunch on our own at Matalascanas Beach which provided an opportunity to shop. Lunch was reasonable priced and good.
I was less interested iin El Rocio's church. The church is noted for a new large copy of a much smaller statue of the Virgin Mary found in a nearby field decades ago. The church is pretty, but not really remarkable.
January 2013
This was an amazing small group trip, enjoyed by all, particularly my adult children. The national park tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and anxious to share his knowledge. We traveled through the mist and partial sun via a Jurassic Park-like four-wheel-drive vehicle, through the sand dunes to see ocean/river and forest, local color with the mussel fishermen and history. We saw lots of different birds and an amazing spider. Definitely off-the-beaten track and a break from city life. If you like the outdoors and are looking for something different, you will enjoy this tour. Our local tour guide was extremely helpful and attentive as well. I would have appreciated a little more background about El Rocio (although most likely, we could have specifically asked for this, but did not).

Cannot make Nvidia Driver for 2.4.19_18.8
I have been using the Tar GZ method for a couple of kernel and driver upgrades now without a hitch, but after downloading the newest Redhat kernel....... when I attempt to make the driver for it, after typing "make" ......it says "make: ***No rule to make target '/lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/build/include/linux/config.h' , needed by 'nv.o' Stop.
Anyone have any idea what this means? I currently have the 4191 drivers installed for red hat 2.4.18-18.8 and working great......had changed nv to nvidia......Is this why it can't find this file for nv.o driver? .....I dunno.... help?
P.S. If I can't use redhat 2.4.18-19.8 .......then is there a way for my to get rid of it since the other kernel is working fine....... ?
:confused:............anybody? ................ :(
You're using 2.4.18-19.8, but the error message is talking about 2.4.18-18.8/build. This is a pretty good indication that you either mistyped something ( ;) ) or weren't booted into the new kernel when you compiled the driver. As long as the running kernel matches the kernel you'll use to run the driver, and you have the build symlink in /lib/modules/<version>, it should work.
You do have kernel-source-2.4.18-19.8 installed, right? Did you configure it (should be just like all other kernels)?
you need to upgrade kernel-source rpm along with kernel rpm if you haven't, then 'make clean && make install' in your Nvidia_kernel source directory.

PocketBlog Vol. 4 (4/12)
By DrPockets000 10 Comments
I apologize for the very cut-and-dried format of this week's installment; I was in a bit of a rush.
This coming weekend, I and a small group of other psychology undergraduates will be traveling to Salt Lake City, Utah to attend the 2011 RMPA (Rocky Mountain Psychological Association) conference. There, we will present a research study we worked on with a professor. This study is a massive undertaking that involved several years of preparation between two different universities. As for the presentation, we will be presenting in front of some of the leading psychologists in the Rocky Mountain area. So that's pretty stressful. I'm not worried per se, but there a nice, adaptive feeling of panic and stress setting in as I prepare and study and rehearse it. The rest of the weekend will be devoted to seeing other presentations from said leading psychologists, attending workshops, and visiting the local college (which is so old-fashioned, the females are required to wear long skirts). Sometime today, I need to go pick up another nice shirt and tie to wear to the conference. I'm not sure if anyone will care if I wear a white shirt and red tie both days.
Psychology Networking
So tonight, I need to take a brief break from RMPA preparation, because there is a networking even for psychology at the university. This is very exciting, because there will be a number of organizations there looking for potential interns and employees. As a junior, this is a big opportunity to get a good internship with a high-profile organization. There are going to be a couple of mental health organizations there, which will be cool. Oh yeah, and the FB-fucking-I. Can you imagine how many dick measuring contests you would win if you had a job at the FBI? There is more stress here on account of the prospect of an internship in Washing D.C. RIght now, I'm working on a resume to hand out to the folks at the networking event so I can get my name out there. Even though I'm leaning more toward a counseling career, being a psychologist for the FBI would not be a shabby trade-off. It was an interest I had at one time and then sort of let go of, but this has renewed my interest in being a part of it.
I will frequently get into modes where I become engrossed in stand-up comedy. I'll start hunting down DVDs of the comedians or looking up acts on Youtube. On top of that, I will attempt to learn about one new comedian every time I do this. This time, I returned to Louis C.K. with "Hilarious", which was a much stronger act than "All Chewed Up". After "Hilarious", I stumbled upon Jim Gaffigan, a comedian I hadn't had much exposure to beyond his excellent "Hot Pockets" piece. I believe someone on the forum posted another video of his, which prompted me to hunt down his "Beyond the Pale" (on Netflix instant) and "King Baby" DVDs. They are both excellent and have cemented Jim Gaffigan as one of my new favorite comedians. Sometime this week I'll give Kevin Hart a try. I've heard some good things about him. This renewed interest in stand-up comedy has once again prompted me to give some thought to my own stand-up. I work best if I'm playing off of someone else, and I need to write more material, but I really want to keep it in mind for something to consider testing out.
What I'm Playing
I have had limited time for gaming in the past week on account of my horribly cramped schedule, what with RMPA preparation and the papers I have, and a couple of tests I still need to make up. I've been mostly doing iPhone games in between classes. Two days ago, in a state of extreme stress, went on a comfort spending spree on the iTunes store (so really not that much money) and bought a ton of games. I finally got the Angry Birds games, along with Canabalt, Land-a-Panda, Mirror's Edge, and my new obsession, a game called Collision Effect. Everyone should give this one a try because it is awesome. It's a highly addictive little puzzle action game about action and reflexes. I tried posting a picture here but it would only show up either massive, or tiny and right justified. Next week I plan on hitting Dragon Age again, hard. I've been missing it something fierce.
What I'm Watching
Again, not a lot considering how busy I am. I was going to see Hanna on Sunday but I instead spent Saturday night getting drunk and mucking around on my Twitter account. Major bummer there. I did rent the movie I Love You, Phillip Morris, which I loved. It sometimes seemed like elements of Jim Carrey's wilder movies and the black humor of Bad Santa were fighting to get out of the shell of this romantic comedy-drama. It occasionally was detrimental to the film but it didn't stop it from being a very sweet movie, and a very brave and impressive performance from Carrey.
What I'm Hearing
I've been having a lot more interest in electronic music lately, particularly since last week's of Tron: Legacy: Reconfigured, which is one hell of a techno album. I started tracking down some of the other material these artists have done, and I really like it. All of it. I'm going to get back to my own music writing after this weekend. Stay tuned.

I am definitely not good at describing myself in a story-book fashion with complete sentences in paragraph form, I've always found random facts to be much more fitting to my style. -I am a shy social butterfly -Yes I know I don't smile a lot, and yes I do have very nice teeth (thanks to 5 years of braces) -I tend to give of an initial vibe of being cocky, that can't be further from how I really am -My life revolves around my work at the moment, with the option to change if need be -I know that my screen name is Clarksvilleguy29, no I don't live in Clarksville nor am I 29 -I think politics are very over-rated -I don't really have a type of girl in mind or a checklist I go down. I rely more on the vibe I get from the person -I have more of a concern for animals then the human race -I'm really not interested in how much money someone makes, if they flip burgers and there's a great connection that's enough for me -Speaking of slipping burgers, I did that when I was 16 -I hate it when people exaggerate themselves into something that they are not, I would much prefer for someone to just be them-self -I am a smartass with a dry sarcastic sense of humor, but I know when to turn off the sarcasm, the smartass part is a work in progress -I hate messy ketchup bottles - I am extremely UN-photogenic if that's even a word -I'm very big on communication and simplicity. If you have good communication with your partner then things are usually pretty simple. -1982 was my year - I usually say I am complexly the most simple person you will ever meet. -Don't ask me a question if you truly don't want me honest answer -I have never bought a female a drink I had just met in a bar or club -I am a Trubie (you know what that means if you're one too) -I have a great nack for home decor -Everyone has a past, I don't volunteer information but If you want to know something all you have to do is ask Hopefully that wasn't too much for you.

It helps our lives out on a daily basis.
Here are a few.
Special Mothers' Day Daily Meme
So how does this work? My Mom isn't on the internet, so I can't send her a link or wish her a Happy Mothers' Day, or make a post on Facebook or Twitter. What ever will I do?
Craig's Picture Of The Day No. 74
TV Shows that end up back to back on my guide crack me up sometimes. It's like when on my Facebook news feed, I will get back to back messages from friends that were married and are now divorced. And it's funny how it coincidentally ends up.
Things That Bother Me These Days.
Every once in awhile I have to go on a rant. Most of this will only kind of make sense. Maybe you will take away a new appreciation about something. Maybe one or two of these nuggets will ring true to you. Or maybe you will throw your phone on the ground with disgust. For that I'm sorry.

Brooke Mueller checks into sober living facility as 'preventative measure'
Brooke Mueller has checked herself into a Los Angeles sober living facility as of Friday Dec. 3, US reports. The 32-year-old mother of twins with (soon-to-be) ex-husband, Charlie Sheen, was "starting to feel tempted," according to a source.
Mueller has been treated for addictions in the past, but according to pal Kathy Hilton, "Brooke is fine and taking preventative measures."
The real-estate investor is currently shooting an Oxygen reality show with Kathy and Paris Hilton. Mama Hilton insists that Mueller's actions "won't affect the show," and that she is "very proud" of her friend.
Just one week earlier, Mueller battled false reports that she had checked into rehab over Thanksgiving saying "the story is ridiculous, I am happy and healthy."
Mueller's upcoming reality program will center around Paris Hilton's personal life and relationships with her closest friends, of which Mueller is apparently one. Which reminds us, what ever happened to the winners of "Paris Hilton's My New BFF"?

Customer comments about Stanton 2" Round Legs:
I love this desk. I use it to study in my room and it's great because the top portion allows for a ton of space so I can spread my computer, papers and books out. The legs are not too wide so a big desk chair fits nicely. Its the perfect hight for a mini-fridge and other storage things to fit underneath and it looks really clean so it goes with any furniture. I only wish that there was a drawer to put pencils, notecards, etc. in.

Customer comments about Stanton 2" Round Legs:
We recently purchased an 130 year old home that was completely refurbished. The kitchen was perfect but did not have an island which is one of the cons of the home but that is ok because we love it. It is just my husband and I and our 16 year old daughter and we needed a table to accommodate us but would not overpower the kitchen. It was perfect. Both my husband and I love mixing modern pieces with antique furnishings. We have had a lot of compliments and finished it off with our jacob chairs.

The journey towards a constitutional referendum on Indigenous recognition has a new roadmap, but we are still no closer to reaching a breakthrough deal.
A consensus still has to be reached among Indigenous leadership, while the inclusion of a racial non-discrimination clause remains a point of contention.
But what has been agreed upon is that a purely symbolic change isn't enough - so we need to get this right or risk missing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shift the power relationship between black and white Australia.

Greece may be on track for a resounding rejection of tough bailout conditions from its creditors, but the truth is the European Union sowed the seeds for its own destruction regardless of this outcome.
The divisions and mistrust that for centuries have regularly plunged the European tribes into war once again have begun to bubble as old wounds are now reopened.
Unless a permanent solution to the Greek crisis is found, the fallout could go beyond the economic costs and instead result in a regional and global shift in political alliances.

These are the moments that put all others into perspective. Suddenly the drug habits of a footballer or the muttered words of a tennis player are seen through a different lens - the focus of a moment. Phil Walsh's death is permanent.

Two events this week - the investigation into the Mafia in Australia and the judgment in Joe Hockey's defamation case - drive home just how seriously Australian democracy has been compromised.
That neither has raised much more than a few eyebrows reinforces the point.
Have we become so inured to the manipulation of the political process by those with money that we no longer expect anything to change? Apparently so, judging by the attitude of the Abbott Government.

Tony Abbott must hate the same-sex marriage issue. A Government otherwise so adept at controlling the agenda is powerless to prevent the issue periodically flaring up.
Conservatives in the Coalition see a procedural delay as the best short-term strategy to deal with the proposed private members' bill.
But if the issue is killed off in that way, the issue could take the Abbott Government from already apparent internal divisions to something a whole lot worse.

By inserting the requirement for "allegiance to Australia" into the proposed citizenship laws, the Government is invoking an idea that hasn't really existed since medieval times.
It is attempting to redraw our relationship with Australia as a State, to elevate the State to a position equivalent to that of a medieval king, to which fealty is owed in return for protection from physical harm.
It's an ancient legal fiction that says it is this allegiance that gives me the entitlement to live here. This is deliberate, and it will change our nation irrevocably.

Robert Matthew Andrews, 23, and his mother and business partner, Debra Spaulding Andrews, 56, both of Trenton, are under arrest on various drug charges — including the son selling to his mother, according to a Sheriff's Office press release.
Chiefland Police are still looking for a woman they believe to have been involved in a scuffle Sunday night that left several people battered and bruised.
According to a CPD incident report, Vickie Donald, 40, of Chiefland, pulled in to Prairie Oaks Apartments Sunday night enraged over allegations that her daughter had been beaten in a fight earlier that day by someone living in the apartment complex.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
n May 18, Ray Conela Adcock, 60, Chiefland, DWLSR with knowledge. Bond $500.
n May 17, Debra Spaulding Andrews, 55, Trenton, possession of cannabis, maintaining a drug dwelling, trafficking in Oxycodone. Bond $101,000.
Charles David Keene, 52, of Archer, was arrested after Levy County Sheriff's deputies answered a domestic disturbance call on May 9 at University Oaks subdivision, according to a Sheriff's Office press release.
An adult female told a deputy that Keene had been drinking and when he came home they got into a verbal argument. She said Keene picked up a children's bicycle and attempted to throw it at her, but it missed and instead struck a child, 3, knocking the child to the ground.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
n May 9, Rebecca J. Alvarado, 35, Trenton, writ of bodily attachment. Bond $1,176.93.
n May 10, Daniel Luke Arrington, 33, Chiefland, burglary, grand theft, dealing in stolen property. Bond $100,000.
n May 15, Cody James Blair, 19, Bronson, aggravated stalking. Bond $100,000.
n May 9, Todd Edgar Bloss, 40, Keystone Heights, no driver's license. Bond $500.

They are at all the parades, funerals, festivals, public gatherings. They're the folks who look a lot like Levy County Sheriff's deputies, but not quite. They drive official looking sheriff's cruisers with a slightly different paint scheme and have yellow lights on top.
They're the silen superheroes of the Sheriff's Office, the Citizens on Patrol. They provide an extra pair of eyes by patrolling neighborhoods. They direct traffic so folks on their way to a big event don't get frazzled.
The following persons were sentenced, found not guilty or the case nolle pros — dropped — in the Criminal Division of the 8th Circuit Court in Levy County. The information is taken from public records. VOP means violation of probation. n Kenneth W. Aldrich, battery on officer, nolle pros, and resisting an officer with violence, 12 months probation.

A Chiefland man was arrested by Chiefland police May 2 for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he threatened to beat his ex-wife and her new boyfriend with a pole, according to a CPD arrest report.
James Stevenson Ellerby Sr., 45, was drunk when he opened the door of his ex-wife's home and began threatening to "bust their heads," according to the report. The ex-wife told Ellerby to leave several times, and he did, shortly before police arrived.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
• May 8, Valrize Latrice Bristol, 31, Dunnellon, DUI, DWLSR, leaving scene of accident with personal injury. Bond $46,000.

Located within walking distance of restaurants and shopping centers. The pool is smaller than the photo leads you to believe. If you are intending to swim laps, you would be hard pressed to do so in this small pool. There was a building being constructed so there was typical construction noise but the noose usually began after we were awake.

The hotel was clean and the room was clean. The pool was indoors and was not very big, but we were the only ones there so it was great for us. I had an employee walk right into my room one time. Apparently it was an accident, but I had to go talk to the front desk to find out what was going on. I got an apology from the front desk, but nothing from the lady who walked in my room. ...

This Hotel should not be more than 1 star. First, Room given to me was used by someone, it was dirty. I went back to reception and complained then the lady given other room. Second, they have parking garage but they will not give you. I got parking garage next block to hotel after paying 20 bucks per night, YES 20 bucks. Next day when i insist to get hotel garage parking reception was saying there is no space left even there was plenty of space available. I requested him and mentioned that i have family and second parking is far from hotel then he has given the parking. Third, In the morning i found that my iPhone charging cable was missing from my car.. STRANGE! I went to the reception and explain about the incident. it seems they are very casual about this theft. The lady just filled the form and said they look into this matter. NEVER hear again. Fourth, If you hotel website they say 18 buck for self parking but they will charge you 20 buck, yes this additional from your hotel charges. After my complete stay i observed that you can get very good hotel in same price with lots of facilities. So please think twice before staying here. Thanks! ...

Japanese convenience stores pursuing expansion strategy
Publication Date : 18-09-2012
Three major convenience store operators are accelerating the pace at which they open new stores. While Seven-Eleven Japan Co., the nation's largest operator, decided to advance into the Shikoku region, Lawson Inc. and FamilyMart Co. have partnered with different businesses to open joint stores to attract more customers.
As they are also increasing the number of stores overseas, they seem to be firmly settled in a strategic expansion for the time being.
Seven-Eleven Japan announced on September 6 that it will open stores in Shikoku next spring, and aims to run 520 stores by the end of February 2019 in all four prefectures in the region. With the opening of new Shikoku stores, Aomori, Tottori and Okinawa prefectures will be the only three in which the company does not operate.
In 1997, Lawson, the second-largest operator, had opened stores in every prefecture in the nation, and FamilyMart, the third largest, did so in 2006.
While the second- and third-biggest operators placed priority on expanding their store networks, Seven-Eleven's strategy focuses on intensively opening stores in areas where stable profits are predicted. Therefore, it is inevitable that competition in the Shikoku market will intensify from next year.
Convenience store operators had seen drops in same-store sales for eight consecutive years since 2000, and the industry in the domestic market was considered to have reached saturation point before the Great East Japan Earthquake.
After the quake, however, more female and elderly customers began using convenience stores instead of supermarkets after finding them to actually be convenient and offering food and staple items at more reasonable prices than they had expected.
As a result, the three major operators have posted record operating profits in the business year ending February 2012. The three companies plan to open about 3,150 stores in total in fiscal 2012--also a record.
According to the Japan Franchise Association, 10 major convenience store operators had 45,671 stores in total as of July. But Seven-Eleven thinks the demand is strong, as the average daily sales per store keeps increasing.
Diversity of store types
Store types are being diversified to attract more customers.
Lawson opened in May a joint store with music and video software retailer HMV Japan K.K. FamilyMart made a franchising contract with drugstore operator Higuchi Sangyo Co. to open joint stores in the same month.
The operators are also looking for new growth markets by opening more stores overseas, mainly in other Asian countries including China and Indonesia. In China, both Seven-Eleven and Lawson have established holding companies in preparation for opening stores there.
Operating more than 30,000 stores overseas, Seven-Eleven has purchased several convenience store operators in North America following buyouts in Asian nations. FamilyMart runs more than 12,000 stores overseas, mainly in China and Thailand. Lawson, which trails its two rivals with about 460 overseas stores, has been making preparations aimed at opening stores in untapped markets such as India and Myanmar.
However, there is no guarantee that their profit growth will continue, as the nation's population continues to decline. New overseas markets always have risks, as shown by recent attacks on Japanese-affiliated retailers in China in the ongoing anti-Japan protests. Convenience store operators will need to lay careful plans whenever they open new stores.

This story and the related video retell part of what you can see in the documentary "The Whale That Ate Jaws" on the National Geographic Channel.
It tells the true story of a 1997 encounter between a great white shark and an orca killer whale. Partially captured on film, it was witnessed by a boat-full of people on a whale watching trip near the Farallon Islands, 26 miles west of San Francisco.
Our report that follows is written in the same Old English verse form used in the great medieval epic, "Beowulf."
Readers may remember that Beowulf himself was said to be a formidable swimmer beneath the waves.
What could be worse
than the great white?
The nightmare shark,
the master monster,
Gobbler of gullible
bathers at beaches,
Cruelest of killers
(as "Jaws" has burned into our brains)
Row upon row
of flesh-tearing teeth.
A fearless bully
for he fears none
Of the other creatures
in the sea. Or does he?
Well ....
One sunny day
near California's coastal islands.
Where about a hundred great whites gather
for two months every fall,
To dine on the sumptuous
sun-bathing seals,
A tourist boat chanced
on a surprising display.
At this point an orca whale surfaces next to the boat with a shark in its mouth. "He is eating the shark!! a woman is heard shouting on the film shot that day. "Oh, my God...this is really, really strange!"
A biologist was radioed.
He rushed to the scene.
When he got there, the great white
beast was just scattered
Gobbets of flesh
floating like flotsam.
But what had happened?!
It soon became clear,
The fatuous fish
had met his match.
A magnificent mammal --
orca, the killer whale,
Apex predator,
the "Wolf of the Sea"
Had dispatched the fish-brained
and shameful shark,
Who'd been loitering -- lurking
near the land-lubbers boat.
The captain of the whale-watching boat, Mick Menigoz, told National Geographic, "All of a sudden, one of the orcas made a b-line in this direction! There was a splash, and then nothing."
"There was no blood, there was no thrashing around," naturalist Mary Jane Schramm, who was on the boat that day, told National Geographic. "It was only when the killer whale emerged... coming back toward the boat, carrying the shark in its mouth...that's when we knew what had actually gone down."
"This orca came up next to the boat, holding this what now appeared to be a dead white shark by the back of the neck," Menigoz said, "and held it up for us like a cat with a mouse, you know, just showing off."
Biologist Peter Pyle was baffled. "It was unprecedented. It kind of blew our minds. It was a complete surprise to us to see an orca take a white shark. We just had no idea that could happen," he told National Geographic.
'Twas the first time ever
in the annals of science,
A great white had been done in
by another sea denizen.
Along all the West Coast,
anchor-folk anguished:
"This may be the first time anyone's
actually seen it happen!"
Soon, scientists worldwide
scrambled and studied,
Followed sharks and orcas
year after year,
And finally found
How this marvelous mammal
With its prodigious brain
has shark sushi for lunch:

From: What Katie Tried Next,
Breathtaking natural views of rolling blue waves and undulating sand dunes provide the perfect backdrop to contemporary spa The Oitavos, snuggled 20 miles away from bustling Lisbon in the coastal area of Cascais, in sunny Portugal. With attentive staff catering to your every need, this is definitely one spa that you'll never want to leave...
The Oitavos is a stamp of sleek modernity among gorgeous natural wilderness. The quirky 'Y' shaped building ensures that every view is outward facing, taking in the picturesque coastal views, or even the luxurious golf course. Clean white lines and shapes create the signature simplistic style throughout the building, which houses 142 rooms, 16 of which are suites.
The hotel's 5* restaurant provides delicious menus that are a mix of traditional Portuguese food and contemporary cuisine from around the world. The accommodation is incredibly spacious, with the striking modern decor only increasing the roomy feel.
Offering a uniquely organic and sea-inspired spa menu, The Oitavos sticks close to its natural roots by incorporating water-themed treatments and facilities into their indulgent spa. As well as a natural sea water swimming pool, they also have 10 treatment rooms, a hydrotherapy pool, heated indoor and outdoor pool, Turkish bath, Jacuzzi, sauna, gym and numerous seawater treatments. They use VOYA products to further emphasise their links to the nearby ocean, specialising in sea-salt exfoliations and deluxe seaweed facials and baths.
We enjoyed the elegantly named Sea Breeze Manicure and Pedicure, which lasted a blissful two hours, as well as the lymphatic drainage massage and express massage, which were carried out to the highest quality, with therapists Claudia and Leila on hand to attend to our every need.
They also offer a golf course, which was rated as one of the top 100 by America's Influential Golf magazine, plus a health and racquet club and an equestrian centre nearby – they really have thought of everything.
One of the best bits of The Oitavos is the massive attention to detail that really ensures that your spa break is memorable, divinely comfortable and perfectly unique. Everything was well considered, with nothing left to chance, and it was the small things that really made the difference to our stay.
We adored the little welcome note left in our bedroom, as well as the useful cards listing our treatment times for each day of our stay. We also loved the super snuggly and soft quality linens and robes - we couldn't have felt any more at home. Wahanda CEO Lopo Champalimaud is also a regular visitor, as The Oitavos is actually run by two of his cousins – so needless to say, we'll be back…
Passport at the ready? Check out the deals and offers we have for The Oitavos and start packing…

As a Copywriter here at Wahanda, I've definitely picked up a few things about the massive variety of beauty and wellness treatments available, but with such a vast array of choice, there is always more to sample and learn about!See my profile »

34 year old woman | Bronx, NY, USA | Seeking men 32-45 within 50 miles of New York, NY
Ready to meet a mature man who knows what he wants. If that's you and you know how to make a girl feel like a LADY, send me a message.
Hmm, what can I say about myself? Well, my friends would describe me as the life of the party, outgoing, ambitious, funny, great sense of humor and personality, kind and intelligent - never a dull moment with me around. i am not shy at all. I am a giver, not a taker. I am very upfront and a straight shooter. I love to laugh and always see the up side of a situation, no matter how grim it may seem. I guess I am an eternal optimist. That probably comes from overcoming a lot in my life. I am the mother of a very energetic 6 year old boy. He is my world. Everything I do is for him. I work full time in a law firm in NYC. I'm usually pretty busy with my son, school, and also working out but I can still make time for the right person. I'm pretty simple - I want someone who I can be a goofball with, joke around, have fun doing anything - whether it's cooking together at home, or going out to a fancy restaurant, even working out together. I love being spontaneous. It'd be great to meet someone who is open to trying new things, like last minute road trips, etc. I would love to feel that I'm with my best friend, someone who gets me and understands me. I respect a man who can be upfront about what he wants, whether it's something serious or casual or friendship. I always feel it's best not to mislead. Why waste a person's time you know? Time is precious and we never get it back. About my mate: a man who is secure in his manhood, ambitious, energetic, confident, full of life, who is responsible, true to his word, follows through on what he says he's going to do, holds it down, and knows how to make a girl feel like a LADY. Also a man who is OVER his previous relationship and certain he has no related emotional baggage. I have had my share of disappointments but still feel the right man is out there for me, so if that's you and you are looking for something meaningful and also know how to make a girl feel like a LADY, then hit me up!

I love cooking and trying new recipes. I also love travelling (although I haven't been able to travel much lately - hopefully that will change). I also love meeting new people, going to the movies, bowling, ice skating, trying new restaurants, etc.
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy and the Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman - great reads!
