If there is ever a contest for words that substitute for thought, "diversity" should be recognized as the undisputed world champion.
You don't need a speck of evidence, or a single step of logic, when you rhapsodize about the supposed benefits of diversity. The very idea of testing this wonderful, magical word against something as ugly as reality seems almost sordid.
To ask whether institutions that promote diversity 24/7 end up with better or worse relations between the races than institutions that pay no attention to it is only to get yourself regarded as a bad person. To cite hard evidence that places obsessed with diversity have worse race relations is to risk getting yourself labeled an incorrigible racist. Free thinking is not free.
The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the government has a "compelling interest" in promoting diversity — apparently more compelling than the 14th Amendment's requirement of "equal protection" of the law for everybody.
How does a racially homogeneous country like Japan manage to have high quality education, without the essential ingredient of diversity, for which there is supposedly a "compelling" need?
Conversely, why does India, one of the most diverse nations on Earth, have a record of intergroup intolerance and lethal violence today that is worse than that in the days of our Jim Crow South?
Even to ask such questions is to provoke charges of unworthy tactics, and motives too low to be dignified with an answer. Not that the true believers in diversity could answer anyway.
Among the candidates for runner-up to "diversity" as the top word for making thought obsolete is "fair."

How to properly clean your Chacos
We are not chemists nor rocket scientists, but we wear our Chacos constantly, and we know what works and what doesn't. We also believe in helping you maintain your investment to keep your Chacos going for years. Our suggestions are low-impact, safe methods and will not delaminate the rubber, nor cause the webbing to crack or fade.
Chaco Sandals: the unofficial official recovery sandal of the Rock/Creek Race Team
If you've seen members of the Rock/Creek Race Team at trail races around the country, you've probably seen more than one pair of Chacos, and that's no accident. Chaco isn't an official sponsor of our Race Team, but so many of our runners wear Chacos before and after racing that we're going to go ahead and call them an unofficial one...
Rock/Creek & Chaco Sandals donate $3,000 to plant trees in Chattanooga
The $3,000 will fund the planting of 18 trees in two sections of median on Dallas Road in Chattanooga. The species selected for planting is an American Elm cultivar called "Princeton," bred for its resistance to Dutch Elm Disease. By selecting the American Elm, we're re-introducing a native tree to the urban landscape...

Comments about Chaco Sandals Devotee Vibram Sandal (Women's):
This shoe just didn't fit correctly. It was much too large, so my foot slipped around in the shoe despite thicker socks. I ordered the same size as I have in another Chaco enclosed shoe (which fits perfectly). There were no adjustable straps to help with the fit and nothing to help keep your foot in the propert place in the shoes. I returned the shoes.

Comments about Chaco Sandals Devotee Vibram Sandal (Women's):
Ordered down a size from what I normally wear, as they were what was in stock. Size was way off, running very large, foot kept slipping out of shoe when I tried to walk....not for me, returned them. A shame as they seemed like they would be very comfortable if they fit properly.

PROVIDENCE (AP) — Rhode Island's smallest and poorest city cannot stand on its own and should be merged with a neighboring city, Gov. Lincoln Chafee said.
Chafee, an independent, made the comments during an interview Thursday on MSNBC. He said the "best solution" for Central Falls would be to merge with Pawtucket.
"I think Central Falls just cannot survive as a 1-square-mile city," Chafee told MSNBC.
A state-appointed receiver overseeing Central Falls filed for bankruptcy on behalf of the city Monday. The city of 19,000 faces $80 million in unfunded pension obligations and has a projected $5.6 million deficit for the current year.
Chafee's spokeswoman, however, backed off the comments Friday and insisted that annexation is one of several options on the table.
"Right now we're just evaluating all the options," said spokeswoman Christine Hunsinger. "I think it (annexation) is one of the best options out there, but obviously there are several that we've got on the table."
The annexation of Central Falls by Pawtucket has repeatedly been suggested as a possible solution to Central Falls' chronic fiscal problems. But leaders in both cities are critical of the idea.
Central Falls City Council President William Benson Jr. said the consensus Friday morning among a group of residents that meets at Pat's Barber Shop for coffee was that no one wants Central Falls to merge with Pawtucket.
"Nobody wants to give the city up," he said. "This is a funny place, this city. We all grew up here as kids. Our parents all wanted to get us out of here."
But people tend to return.
"We're like lemmings, I think," Benson said. "We all come back."
He also questioned how a merger would work. He said salaries of unionized employees in Central Falls are lower than in Pawtucket, including in the police and fire departments. And a merger would presumably result in layoffs in one jurisdiction or the other in an effort to eliminate redundancies, he said.
He also argued that a merger wouldn't address Central Falls' most crushing problem: its pension liabilities.
"That's still not going to solve the pension problem," he said. "Pawtucket's in debt. Everybody in Rhode Island is in the same boat we are."
"Also, who wants to give up their power? No mayor, no police chief, no fire chief wants to give up their little patrol."
A Dec. 2010 report from a previous state-appointed receiver recommended that Pawtucket annex Central Falls.
Pawtucket Mayor Don Grebien said at the time that Pawtucket would only annex Central Falls if it benefited Pawtucket. He also noted that his city faced its own financial challenges, including a deficit that once stood at more than $12 million.
The mayor of nearby Cumberland met this week with officials from Central Falls to discuss ways to streamline Central Falls' services and the possibility of sharing public safety services. Cumberland Mayor Daniel McKee said no specifics were discussed, and that at this point his city is only advising Central Falls on possible solutions to its fiscal woes.
He said Central Falls residents should decide whether to combine with another city.
"We are not interested in taking over Central Falls," McKee said. "They're small and they have some fiscal issues, but you have to respect the municipality of Central Falls. What do they want?"

Right, forgot about that PET. I'll read it if I have any further problems (it's working now).
Anyway, I have a question about Mozilla: When I put my cursor on the last character of a text area, and then press the right arrow key, it takes me to the first character of the text area (though seems like only when there is a scrollbar in the text area).
I always thought that was a bug. But they haven't fixed it since at least 0.9.3, so I'm starting to think it's actually supposed to do that. Can I turn that off? I hate that!!!

Overview — Counseling at Skyline College
Getting through college isn't always easy. There's a lot to figure out, such as how to study, how to get around campus, how to use technology, where to meet people like you, how to pass the time, and so much more.
But don't worry!
Skyline College has a whole host of tools to make sure you succeed! Skyline College counselors support you with information, using many resources, so that you are better prepared to explore your alternatives, establish your priorities and develop a plan of action for your future.
Counseling Department Hours:
The Counseling Office is located in Building 2 and is open at the following times during the Summer session:
- Monday - Thursday: 8:00am - 6:30pm
- Friday: Closed

- Degree Works (monitor progress of degree and certificate completion online)
- Disability Resource Center (DRC)
- Electronic Counseling
- Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS)

- Transfer Center
- TRiO
How Counseling Works:
To meet with a counselor at Skyline College it is best to schedule an appointment.Counseling appointments can be scheduled online, using WebSMART, by phone or in-person.
Regular counseling appointments are 30 minutes long. They are appropriate for long-term educational planning, clarifying your progress toward graduation and transfer, dealing with probation or dismissal questions.
Drop-in counseling is offered only on a limited basis, for quick answers and referrals. Drop-in counseling is not appropriate for students who need Student Educational Plans (SEP), AA/AS or Certificate evaluations, transfer evaluations or who are on academic probation or dismissal.
Unless you are part of a special program such as EOPS, DRC, TRiO or are a Veteran, you are not assigned a counselor. You may choose to see any counselor, and, if you wish, you may change counselors. It is important that you feel comfortable and confident with your counselor.
Don't wait until the last minute to schedule your counseling appointment. To plan for the fall semester, make an appointment during spring before April. To plan for spring, make an appointment in September or early October.

If for some reason our recent Currently Channeling and Ask A Stylist stories haven't hammered the point home, let us say it again: the eighties are back with a vengeance. But unlike some seasons, when a particular era only impacts a few select designers and clothing styles, this decade is influencing everything from fashion editorials to cocktail frocks to the coolest hairstyles. Regarding the latter, one of the most interesting interpretations of eighties style we've seen is actually a beauty reference, specifically Madonna's "Lucky Star" look. As seen on the pop star circa 1984, the 'do in question showcases unruly, voluminous, semi-kinked locks, and it's currently being worn by everyone from established trendsetters (Mary-Kate Olsen) to up-and-coming talent (Juno Temple).
As always, Mary-Kate Olsen was one of the first fashion plates to try out this trend, which happened at The Metropolitan Opera's 125th Anniversary Gala back in March. Perhaps she was taking a cue from Vivienne Westwood's F/W 09 show (it took place only a few weeks before the Met Opera party), where Bumble and bumble stylist Rolando Beauchamp gave the models oversized kinky manes. The massively creative Beauchamp created the runway look by setting the girls' hair in pin curls for volume, then brushing it out and applying liberal amounts of Bumble and bumble Surf Spray ($22) to amplify body and texture. (Beauchamp is frequently responsible for Olsen's red carpet hairstyles, so we imagine he worked a similar regime on her locks for this event.)
Of course, some girls don't require much styling effort to achieve this quirky coiffure because they just come by it naturally. Two of our favorite fresh faces-actress Juno Temple and model Portia Freeman-embrace their shocking blonde curls and use their hair to accent their overall style. Temple (above, far right) let her hair take center stage at the recent premiere of her new movie, Cracks, during the London Film Festival late last month, while Freeman (far left) showed off her eighties-ish curls at a Next Models party during London Fashion Week.
As you can tell from these references, the edgy kink is typically associated with shoulder-length or longer locks, but it actually translates quite well as an up-do and on short hair too. If you don't want to commit to the full statement of the look, a pinned-up style, like the one Pixie Geldof wore to Hannah Marshall's show during London Fashion Week, is a great alternative. Additionally, on closely cropped hair, a crown of crazy curls can look quite chic; just check out Audrey Tautou's style at the premiere of Coco Before Chanel for reference. We love how she completed her ensemble with a gauzy black hair accessory, which is a subtle nod to the aforementioned Madonna look.
If you're ready to dive into this dramatic beauty trend, all you need are a few key products and tools, most of which you probably already have. Essentially, you're faking the over-processed effect of the eighties perm, so remember that the goal to make your hair look fat, full, and matte. For most girls-especially those with natural curl and texture-the most important product to use is some sort of curl-emphasizing mousse. Bumble and bumble's Curl Conscious Holding Foam ($27) has a gel-to-foam formula that will boost your kink factor; just apply evenly from roots to ends, scrunch, and dry with a diffuser.
Obviously those of you with straight hair will have a little more work than your friends with natural curls. Celebrity stylist Jen Atkin (who regularly works with lovely ladies like Leighton Meester, Lily Cole, and our favorite, Christina Hendricks of Mad Men fame) says to prep your damp hair with a body-adding spray, like Frederic Fekkai's Instant Volume Spray ($20), and then use a hair dryer and your fingers to rough-dry your locks. (Don't use a brush: it will make your hair too flat and straight, which is the opposite of what you're going for!) Next, section your hair horizontally and use a multi-barrel waving iron to give your hair the desired kink and curl. While there are lots of fancy versions on the market, you don't have to invest in an expensive iron to get the desired look. In fact, Atkin suggests using Hot Tools 3-Barrel Hair Waver Iron ($21), which is very reasonably priced. Once finished kinking, Akin recommends locking in your work by adding a light layer of Frederic Fekkai's Wave Creating Spray ($20) for more volume. Finally, finish with a good hairspray, such as Rene Furterer's Laque Hair Spray ($27), to set the look and poof! You've got a Madonna-vetted, runway ready look!

The game in FFA and CA, the two I play mostly, have been dull the past few months.. Why, I ask myself? What is the point in such hectic modes, a need for one player to camp in the doorway or in the weapon spawn place spamming with grenades/plasma/rail/rockets/lg or even gauntlet (asylum top+quad+gaunt or longest yard rail/rocket + quad on top platform anyone?)? Points? Is this what this game has been reduced to? Where is the fun for the rest of the players there?
- My proposition for these modes, and especially FFA to are penalty seconds. there should be a rule or two like thees one's: If a player camps on a spawn-point for a weapon/quad or stays within a proximity of a certain "hotspot" that guarantees that many players just pile right through (small corridors or small empty rooms below a bridge with weapon spawns) and spams the incoming players, should receive penalty seconds of not being able to shoot weapons with the message and countdown for the penalty flashing on his/hers screen in the middle where the cursor should be. Or at least they aren't allowed firing anything except machine-gun. If a player persists on camping, rapid HP draining should suffice. If they persist, kick from the server. If the penalties pile up, a Ban for a few hours.
Of course this proposition has one issue (CA), where a player is cornered in a place and he has to defend himself while being spammed from all directions. but then again if the incoming players spam on the player, they receive the penalty also so the player can run away from the hotspot.
This method doesn't have to be included instantly, there should first be a couple test servers first.

Beavers clinch series with win over Bruins
LOS ANGELES – LOS ANGELES - Ben Wetzler allowed one run and five hits over seven innings to help guide the sixth-ranked Oregon State baseball team to a series-clinching 5-2 win over No. 10 UCLA Sunday at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Wetzler, making his sixth start of the season, picked up his first win of the 2013 season after striking out five in the series finale. The Beavers won the series as they shut down the Bruins, 5-0, on Saturday. UCLA had opened the weekend with a 3-2 win on Friday.
Wetzler's lone blemish came on a solo home run by Brett Urabe to open the bottom half of the sixth. He improved to 1-1 on the year.
The Beavers (25-5 overall, 7-2 Pac-12 Conference) got to UCLA (19-9, 7-5) starter Grant Watson early and often, driving the left-hander from the game after just 3 1/3 innings. OSU held a 2-0 lead after one inning and stretched it to a 4-0 advantage after solo runs in both the third and fourth innings.
Jake Rodriguez drove in a run apiece in both the first and third innings, while Kavin Keyes singled in a run in the first and Andy Peterson singled up the middle in the fourth off reliever James Kaprelian, enabling Joey Matthews to come in from second.
Watson was charged with four runs and allowed five hits in the short start to take the loss and fall to 5-1 this season.
Ryan Barnes, Dylan Davis and Michael Conforto all had two hits to pace the Beavers. Conforto also drove in a run in the eighth, sending the Beavers to a 5-1 lead.
Rodriguez led the Beavers with two RBI.
Scott Schultz worked the final 1 1/3 innings for the Beavers, picking up the save, his seventh of the season.
The win gave the Beavers their third consecutive series victory over the Bruins, a first for Oregon State. OSU also improved to 11-6 in its last 17 games at UCLA, dating back to 2005.
Oregon State returns home Tuesday for a 4:05 p.m. PT non-conference tilt with Oregon. The Civil War presented by Pacific Source, Your Local Ford Stores, Wells Fargo and McDonald's will air live on the Pac-12 Networks.

clicking the link that said "english" was to hard for you?
clicking it just give a message that says: "We don't have the English site ready yet!"
I even tried google and altavista translators ...
anyway, as I said earlier they seem to have a nice package
Maybe I should have checked that the site was actually up, I tried, but it kept redirecting me to the danish page... which is rather annoying because I pref. English to Danish when it comes to websites.

News: NHLPA Doesn't File Disclaimer Of Interest
The NHLPA has not filed a disclaimer of interest according to Darren Dreger and Renaud Lavoie.
The deadline, which was created and impose by the NHLPA, was 11:59PM last night.
Bruce Garrioch tweets "If the union does take a second vote on disclaimer it won't just be for show. They will go ahead. "
Pierre LeBrun says that the players will re-vote and file "soon" if a deal isn't produced.
LeBrun writes at ESPN.com "In other words, the NHLPA didn't use its big hammer Wednesday night, in the hope of trying to get past these final few hurdles in a deal, but that gesture of goodwill has a time limit. "
Nick Kypreos tweets that although only minor progress has been made, that progress was enough to bypass filing the disclaimer.
Gary Bettman said last night that the players union had never mentioned disclaiming interest to the NHL.

By RICHARD SHAWSports writer
The clouds gathered and the wind blew, but the weather that someone seemed to conjure up in Emery County on Tuesday afternoon couldn't deter the Carbon baseball squad from their assigned duty: to destroy the Emery Spartans squad.
And they fulfilled their quest almost perfectly as they took out Emery's hopes of catching the league leading Dinos this year with an 8-1 victory on the Spartans home field in Castle Dale.
In actuality the game wasn't even that close. The Dinos dominated every aspect of the game, loading up the bases a couple of times, but not quite being able to bring those runners in to take the score to ten runs so that the Emery misery could end sooner than later.
Again sophomore pitcher Troy Grundy came through with flying colors striking out nine batters and allowing the Spartans only two hits in the game.
In batting, once again another hero emerged in the person of Matt Jewkes. Jewkes had three hits and batted out the only home run in the game.
It began fast with Carbon smacking out three runs almost before the scoreboard came on.
In the second inning Emery's defense seemed to stiffen a little and they allowed only one run by the Dinos, as Travis Barnett continued to pitch for the Spartans.
The next two innings were scoreless, but in the fourth Carbon had the bases loaded but failed to bring any runners in. The fourth also brought out one of the best defensive plays of the game. Grundy hurled a pitch and an Emery batter nailed a grounder toward right field, but Carbon first baseman Jeff Anderson ran over and nabbed it. Meanwhile, Grundy whirled toward first base at top speed. Anderson tossed Grundy the ball and he out raced the Emery runner, who had a completely surprised look on his face, to first base and took him out. Carbon fans went nuts.
Carbon scored another run at the top of the fifth and again had the chance to pile on the points and win early, but couldn't bring the runners in before the outs ran dry.
Two more runs in the top of the sixth made the score 7-0 and it seemed that the air had gone completely out of Emery's balloon.
But to their credit when the wind started to blow out of Straight Canyon down on Orangeville and Castle Dale, they seemed to get renewed life. The seventh inning became harder for the Dinos to win than the whole game had.
Emery got people on base and one runner finally worked his way across home, but with two outs already on the board it was only a matter of time before the inevitable hatchet fell, which it did in the form of another great Grundy play. The county was 2-1, he tossed the pitch and an Emery batter hit it almost straight at him, but a little high. It was like he just reached up with his glove and the ball curve right toward it. He had made the final out.
Carbon players and coaches ran out on the field. Regardless if both these teams had winning records or losing records, this is always an important game for both teams. This time Carbon proved they deserved the number one state ranking they have been enjoying. A rematch back at Dinofield of this game will take place on April 26, the last regular season game for both teams.
Almost everyone on the Dino team played flawlessly. In the outfield, Jan Jorgensen took three fly balls to himself and nabbed everyone of them. The infield also played with Blake Wilde nabbing a couple of grounders and everyone contributing to keep Emery from the scoreboard.
Carbons next game will be on Friday at Lehi and then they return home to face a weak North Sanpete team that lost a few days ago to Delta 24-0, and to Lehi on Tuesday evening 14-4.

Grade or subject acceleration and impact on Third Grade Reading Guarantee
State law requires all school districts to develop and use a student acceleration policy. This law allows a district committee to place a student in a higher level than is typical, given the student's age.
A district committee, which includes the child's parents, teachers and other school professionals, may accelerate a student from one grade to a higher grade. Or, a district committee may accelerate a student in one or more subjects to a higher grade in those subjects, but not to a higher grade level.
The purpose of this law is to provide a student access to appropriately challenging learning opportunities. In most cases, this law does not apply to a student who is in curricular options with age peers such as ability grouping, honors courses and Advanced Placement courses.
Impact of acceleration on the Third Grade Reading Guarantee
The Third Grade Reading Guarantee applies to students accelerated to third grade or to third grade in reading.

Roadrunner & Artist News
Machine Head Answer Fan Questions
Posted on February 12, 2008the band have given up the answers to some questions submitted via our US site. Thanks to all who submitted questions and thanks to Rob and Ahrue for taking time to do this. Enjoy!
1 - Who is the one most influential band that all of the band can agree on? Favorite City or Venue to play, other than your hometown? C.F. Sozio
Rob Flynn: Why, none other than Machine Head of course!!!! ha-ha. As far as influencing us probably early Metallica. Favorite cities...New York, Chicago, LA, London, Tokyo, & Paris.
2 - You guys came into the scene with "Burn my Eyes" back in 94 which absolutely stunned everyone, using a unique approach of modern heaviness which just came out of the middle of nowhere. You released your second album "The more Things Change" in 97, attempting to prove to everyone that you can achieve perfection with your playing techniques. The latest album "The Burning Red", appeared to be a more emotion oriented album, which might of been your way of saying "We're all over with this darkness that we went through, and we're ready to conquer life". So with this upcoming new album being called "Super Charger", what intentions do you guys have for this record? What exactly are you guys trying to achieve? As a die hard fan of your band, I'm really anxious to know. Satoshi Morikawa
Rob Flynn: Our intentions are still to conquer life, always have been. The vibe in the band is just more charged up now, we felt calling it Supercharger just summed up the power in the music.
3 - Are their still plans for a Machine Head DVD home video to be released? I know you guys were talking about it, when you came to Houston last. And, is there a chance for a b-sides record to come out in the near future? Somewhat in the vein of "Blood-Rooted" by Sepultura? I have heard some Machine Head b-sides, which are extremely good, and the world needs to hear them. josh
Ahrue Luster: We would love to release a home video. We have tons of footage from the last European tour we did. We had someone on the road with us who's sole job was to film us. As for the B sides, there are no plans in the near future to release anything like that. The next thing to come out will be Supercharger.
4 - Hey machine head, loved that song *Block* with all the samples playing through. Are you guys going to do something like that again cause that was one of the best songs you guys did off that CD in my humble opinion. What do you think of this "new metal" scene? Do you want to be a part of it or stay away from it? Timmy O' Toole
Ahrue Luster: Our new record is going to have shit that makes "Block" sound like a picnic at Disneyland. As for the new metal scene, I personally like a lot of the new shit and so does everyone else in the band. We will always be true to ourselves no matter what is going on around us.
5 - What types of things influence you while you are writing new material, or lyrics? Sepultallica
Rob Flynn: Well Sepultallica???? Things that sound different, weird riffs, "not" what everybody else is doing. I like to make guitar parts that sound like another instrument, keyboard, DJ, Satan. Lyrically, someone who's saying something clearly, direct, to the point, not a lot of metaphors.
6 - Will Ahrue play a bigger part in the writing process this time around? And will we hear some solos from him? Josh Jackson
Rob Flynn: He played a pretty big part in The Burning Red, and equally on Supercharger. You'll be happy to know he's brushing up on his Yngwie Malmsteen leads.
7 - I was curious if you all felt that metal is going to do a full circle returning to stuff of the early to mid 90*s? How long do you think the rap-metal trend will last? Brian X
Ahrue Luster: I think history always repeats itself in one form or another but there will also always be new elements added to it. As far as mid 90's metal. I couldn't tell you. As far as rap metal, It seams as though it is already on the downslide although I think that rap itself has firmly established itself as a valid form of music and will be influencing other styles of music for years to come.
8 - Can you guys write one really fast, really heavy song for your next album? Like old school MH, but all down tuned like you are now? For all the mosh pit psychopaths down here in Florida... Burt hood/Jax FL
Rob Flynn: We actually have, it's called "Fluffy Bunny Rabbits hopping through the Flower Gardens" , but it's REALLY fast and heavy.
Ahrue Luster: There are more fast beats in Supercharger then there were on the Burning Red. There won't be any that are fast from start to finish. I think you will love the song "Bulldozer".
9 - I just wanna say that I saw you twice here and it was amazing, my favorite concerts! My question is. . "I'm Your God Now" and "The Burning Red" are very personal songs, were there true events that happened, and if not what inspired such breath taking songs? Brian Wardwell from FARGO, ND
Rob Flynn: Thank You. Both songs are inspired by true events, our friend James Lappin passed away from drugs and that is what "I'm your God Now" is about.
10 - Dearest Machine Head, It's common knowledge that the webmaster of www.machinehead1.com, Michael Parker, possesses one of the most glorious mullets ever grown since Billy Ray Cyrus. After seeing you guys live in a blistering set in San Francisco recently, I noticed what seem to be the beginning stages of a mullet on Mr. Flynn. My question is this...Robb, are you indeed busting out a mullet in support of your new disc "Supercharger", and is the mullet the official hair style of the Machine Head Crew? Loving You Deeply, Primuswilliam
Rob Flynn: Ahhhhh Primwilly, fan of the Horribly fated San Francisco Forty Niners , a team that suffered a devastating 34-28 loss, AT Candlestick, on Sunday, Oct. 8th 2000, to none other than The Oakland Raiders .Well well well , I tell you what, just to be a sport, and help you get over some of that bitterness, I promise to grow a mullet if the Niners win a playoff game....oh wait , they didn't actually make the playoffs this year did they?...... oh well guess I won't . HA-HA , FUCK OFF )
11 - I'm sure a club tour will be in order to promote Supercharger (at least I hope so), but can we expect Machine Head to join one of the two major package tours this summer (Ozzfest, Tattoo The Earth)? Thanks, Kyle Kusy, Abingdon, Maryland
Ahrue Luster: We are hoping to have Supercharger out in time to be on one of the summer festivals. We missed all of them with the Burning Red.
12 * Can I do the cover art? I'll do it for free! Please, for the love of Satan! Please! Blake * a loyal Machine Head fan since 1994
Ahrue Luster: OK, you're on. Just kidding. If you are really an artist, send your ideas to Mike P at our website (www.machinehead1.com). If they are good, we will see them.
13 - Do you guys like tube or solid state? Also, what amps and accessories do you guys use? Laine La Cava
Robb Flynn: I prefer tube, it sounds fuller to my ear. I use Peavey 5150s and a lot of pedals.
Ahrue Luster: I like both. I use line 6 Flexitone 2 heads (solid state) for everything when I'm on tour but in the studio I use an old Peavy 5150 head (tube) for my heavy tone and my Line 6 for everything else. Robb uses old 5150's for everything. We both use Marshall vintage 30 cabs.
14 - Robb Flynn: How long ago did the band actually start? And which bands did you look up to as an early musician? MarianoVillanueva
Rob Flynn: June, 1992. We played our first "house party" in August that year, my favorite records back then were Metallica- Black Album, Ice Cube-The Predator, Soundgarden-Badmotorfinger, 1st Cypress Hill, Pantera-Vulgar, Temple of the Dog.
15 - What do those three Japanese or Chinese symbols on the back of my Machine Head T-shirt mean? Rock on Mike Delano
Ahrue Luster: They say "Kick Me." Just kidding. Those are the Japanese symbols for Machine Head.
16 - My question is why did AHRUE cut his hair??? And who will PRODUCE and MIX SUPERCHARGER ?? And why did MACHINE HEAD chose to work with this PRODUCER???? Any B-sides planned for supercharger ? What about a digipak? A limited edition first pressing???? JASON GABELLA
I was just tired of having dreads. I wanted to cut them for over a year but I had to wait 'till we were done touring. We haven't decided on a producer yet. There will be B sides. The digipack and limited editions, we don't know yet.
17 - Robb, on the MH1.com forum we've heard plenty of rumors about the new album. Some say the new shit sounds like the material on BME. I'm just wondering whether you've gone back to yer old style because of all the criticism? A lot of fans didn't like TBR, because of the rapping and singing and the "nu-metal-riffs". Does it have something to do with that or are you just tired of playing the "Nu-metal-riffs" yourselves? I'd say post one of the songs on the board...we're all dying to hear it. And come to the board every now and then...we miss you!
Rob Flynn: What do Nu Metal riffs sound like? Are they tuned down?, do they have harmonics and weird sounds ?, do they have lots of low single notes? kinda busier drum beats? hmmmmm???? No singing or rapping on our first album (??????) I guess if there's no singing or rapping on BME then there's none on TBR or Supercharger either. Do you see where I'm going with this?
18 - When are you guys coming to Hawaii? We been waiting to fucking long! Stop here before or after a Japan tour, GODAMMIT!! I didn't buy your guys cd's for nothing. I want to see you fuckers live!!
Rob Flynn: We'd love to. We've been talking about going there soon, but we're only playing for people who actually "did" buy our cd's for nothing. ha-ha.
Ahrue Luster: We want to come there just as bad as you want us there!!! I grew up in Waikiki. I went to Ala Wai grade school and Washington Intermediate school. If we don't get to go to Hawaii on this tour, I am burning our booking agent's office down. We also want to go to Australia just as bad.
19. - Is Mr. Flynn still drinking absolute Vodka and coke as his favorite drink? Or do you have a different drink that you favor these days? If so, will we see you enjoying that drink on stage, next time we see you guys on tour? Satoshi Morikawa
Rob Flynn: Yes I am.
20 - When r u guys gonna come and visit us metal starved people in australia. The slipknot tour was sold out and u guys would easily sell out too. Just wondering when I could c one of the best bands live, that's all! Liam Sutcliffe.
Rob Flynn: We are defiantly gonna try to get there again soon, Australia kicks ass! Ahrue Luster: Hey Liam. Are you the contest winner that I talked on the phone with. If so, I hope you and your brother are doing good. We really want to get to Australia. Hopefully we will see you soon.

Vegertarian Since Fall 2006. :)
When I was 15 I started getting sick from eating poultry products like chicken and even chicken flavored foods. I soon decided to cut poultry out of my diet completely. It honestly wasn't all that easy since my family is full of meat lovers, who cannot have a meal without meat. It got easier with time and I started see how much better I was feeling since I wasn't eating chicken. I then choose to see if I could cut out meat all together. That wasn't quite as easy, but I was able to do it. By fall of 2006 I was a complete ovo-lacto vegetarian. 6 years later I am trying not to consume many dairy or egg products and become the vegan I know I can be. :)

S&S 113" cylinder wear pattern
Both cylinders show the same pattern and they are worn in vertical stripes all along the stroke. It is more of a pattern than actual wear, everything is smooth when running a finger across the stripes.
What is the reason for this strange appearance?
Engine is opened because of oil leakage between the case halves but otherwise has been running very well. It was modified with the "SSW+"-type breathing but was modified back to conventional breathing + S&S reed breather as oil consumption increased with the "SSW+"-venting.

Kenya - Exercise a high degree of caution
There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Kenya. However, you should exercise a high degree of caution due to the increasing number of terrorist attacks and incidents of crime. Terrorist attacks have occurred in the past in Nairobi, including Eastleigh; along the Coast region, including in Mombasa; and in the country's northeast. Further attacks remain a possibility.
Regional Advisory for the areas bordering Somalia
Regional Advisory for the areas bordering South Sudan and Ethiopia
Regional Advisory for the Eastleigh neighbourhood of Nairobi
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada advises against non-essential travel to the Eastleigh neighbourhood of Nairobi, where several attacks have recently taken place. See Security for more information.
Regional Advisory for Mombasa
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The Government of Canada takes the safety and security of Canadians abroad very seriously and provides credible and timely information in its Travel Advice. In the event of a crisis situation that requires evacuation, the Government of Canada's policy is to provide safe transportation to the closest safe location. The Government of Canada will assist you in leaving a country or a region as a last resort, when all means of commercial or personal transportation have been exhausted. This service is provided on a cost-recovery basis. Onward travel is at your personal expense. Situations vary from one location to another, and there may be constraints on government resources that will limit the ability of the Government of Canada to provide assistance, particularly in countries or regions where the potential for violent conflict or political instability is high.
Areas bordering Somalia (see Advisory)
Although Kenya's border with Somalia is closed, it is porous and Somali militias and bandit groups have carried out cross-border attacks against foreigners and humanitarian workers in this region. Some of these incidents involved the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and have resulted in injuries and deaths, including at the Dadaab Refugee Camp, 80 km from the Somali border. The risk of such attacks in the region remains high. Disputes between Somali clans also make the region unstable and dangerous. Kenyan efforts to restrict Somali incursions and gun-running have curtailed travel to the northern areas near the Somali border.
On April 2, 2015, an attack against Garissa University College killed at least 140 people and injured many more. A dusk-to-dawn curfew is in effect in Garissa, Wajir, Mandera and Tana River Counties.
Beachfront accommodations and boats off the coast are particularly vulnerable to attacks. Since June 2014, groups of gunmen have attacked several areas along the coast of Lamu county. On July 11, 2014, more than 40 people died and buildings were burned during a raid in the village of Pandanguo. On June 15, 2014, gunmen attacked the town of Mpeketoni, including two hotels, killing at least 48 people.
A 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. curfew is in effect for mainland areas of Lamu County.
Eastleigh neighbourhood of Nairobi (see Advisory)
There are heightened tensions in Nairobi's Eastleigh neighbourhood, where a series of explosions has occurred since late November 2012. Several people have been killed, and many more have been injured.
Mombasa (see Advisory)
There have been occasional reports of violent demonstrations and rioting in Mombasa, most recently following the killing of a prominent Mombasa cleric on April 1, 2014.
In July 2014, two foreigners were killed near Fort Jesus in Mombasa.
There have been a number of attacks, possibly linked to terrorist groups, in Mombasa since 2013. On May 3, 2014, at least four people were killed when an explosive device was thrown at a bus, while another device exploded near a public beach bar without causing casualties. On March 22, 2014, many people were killed in an attack on a church in the Likoni area of Mombasa. On March 17, 2014, police in Mombasa found large quantities of weapons and explosives in a car. Kenyan authorities seem to believe that there are more similar explosive devices in the wider region. There were reports, on December 12, 2013, of an attempted grenade attack targeting the vehicle of two tourists in Likoni. On January 2, 2014, several people were injured in a grenade attack at a nightclub in Diani, near Mombasa. Further attacks cannot be ruled out. Remain vigilant at all times, avoid large gatherings, monitor local media and follow the advice of local authorities.
Northern Kenya
Some areas located north of the Kitale–Samburu–Garissa line in northern Kenya are considered unsafe. The ongoing threat posed by terrorism is joined by various regional, tribal or clan-based conflicts involving land, cattle and water. Use armed escorts when travelling to or from this region. Armed escorts are available from local police stations and it is advisable to contact them before undertaking any journey. Avoid venturing away from tourist areas and refrain from travelling after dark.
Western Kenya
Tribal conflicts have occurred in the Mount Elgon area of western Kenya. If you decide to travel to that region, remain vigilant at all times and monitor local media.
There is a high threat from terrorism throughout Kenya, including in Nairobi and Mombasa. We continue to receive information indicating that terrorists may be planning attacks against a range of targets in Kenya, including in Nairobi and Mombasa.
On March 26, 2015, the Australian government indicated that: " Current information suggests that terrorists may be planning attacks against crowded locations in Nairobi in the near future."
Regional terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and al-Shabaab, continue to threaten Western interests and other potential targets in Kenya. In recent years, terrorist attacks have occurred in busy public venues, including in places of worship. Since the latter half of 2013, al-Shabaab has demonstrated both the intent and capability to conduct terrorist attacks in the region with increasing frequency and sophistication. Terrorist attacks could occur at any time and could target areas frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers, such as Western embassies, United Nations' premises, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shopping centres, markets, hotels, tourist resorts, safari lodges, international schools, places of worship and airports and other transportation hubs. They could also target areas where government offices are concentrated, such as Nairobi Central Business District. Attacks could take the form of suicide operations, grenade attacks, roadside or vehicle-borne IEDs and attacks on civil aviation or on maritime vessels near Kenyan ports. Avoid all nightclubs, avoid visiting businesses during peak hours and steer clear of large crowds. Be extremely vigilant when driving on high-volume traffic roads and at intersections near areas frequented by expatriates, especially at peak times.
Two explosions occurred in Nairobi on May 16, 2014, one targeting a matatu (minibus) near the downtown core and a second at Gikomba Market; casualties were reported. On May 4, 2014, near-simultaneous explosions occurred on buses travelling on the outskirts of Nairobi; at least three people were killed and dozens were injured. An explosion was reported at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi on January 17, 2014. Be particularly vigilant at all airports.
Be particularly vigilant during religious holidays and other public celebrations, as militants have used such occasions to mount attacks. Kenyan authorities have warned that al-Shabaab could be planning to carry out attacks in Kenya during Ramadan.
You should be very cautious if attending sporting events, such as football matches. Avoid public venues such as sports bars, night clubs and restaurants that broadcast these games, as well as public transportation, such as taxis, to and from the events. Be extremely vigilant in crowded places and monitor local media.
There is a high crime rate in most regions of Kenya, particularly in major cities such as Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu, and at coastal beach resorts. There has been a sharp increase in crime in Nairobi since March 2014, with carjackings, home invasions and kidnappings occurring even in neighbourhoods normally deemed safe and during daylight hours.
Exercise extreme caution in the Kibera, Kasarani, Mathare and Eastleigh neighbourhoods of Nairobi.
Petty crimes, such as purse-snatchings and robberies, occur frequently in other major towns (Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru) and coastal beach resorts. Criminals and swindlers have been known to impersonate hotel employees, police officers or government officials. When you leave your hotel room, ensure that the door is locked and the "do not disturb" sign is displayed. Store your personal belongings in safekeeping facilities. You should absolutely avoid walking or travelling after dark, and exercise caution while walking during daylight hours. Avoid showing signs of affluence or carrying large sums of money. Be aware that cases of "mob justice" are regularly reported, in which crowds lynch suspected criminals prior to the arrival of police.
Tourists have recently been the target of carjackings, robberies and kidnappings while travelling to or from the International airports in Nairobi and Mombasa. When arriving at these airports, you should only use transportation organized by reputable tour companies or well-marked taxis. Be particularly vigilant if you are commuting alone.
Airport authorities at the Jomo Kenyatta International airport (JKIA) recommend that travellers arrive at least three hours before their flight. Cases of passport theft have been reported in the departure area of JKIA. Currency should not be exchanged in the public areas of the airport. Checked luggage may be pilfered at the airport. Store valuables in locked hand-luggage. Be particularly vigilant at all airports.
Demonstrations occur and have the potential to suddenly turn violent. Avoid all demonstrations and public gatherings, follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local media.
Women's safety
Women travelling on their own should remain particularly vigilant, as attacks involving sexual assaults, including against foreigners, are regularly reported, even though Nairobi has an anti-rape awareness campaign. See Her Own Way: A Woman's Safe-Travel Guide for travel safety information for Canadian women.
Non-governmental organizations
Foreigners volunteering with local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have reported incidents of fraud, threats and mistreatment by local personnel. Volunteers have been left stranded when the illegitimate NGOs they were working for closed.
If you are contemplating volunteer work with NGOs in Kenya, you should contact the National Council of NGOs, before making any commitment and before departing Canada, to confirm that the organization you wish to work with is legitimate. All NGOs in Kenya are required by law to be registered with the National Council of NGOs, a self-regulating, non-partisan body.
See Entry/Exit Requirements for information on work permits required to work for an NGO or to volunteer.
Road travel
Traffic drives on the left. Excessive speeds, unpredictable driving habits and frequent drunk driving (especially at night), lack of adequate street lighting and poorly maintained vehicles pose hazards. Furthermore, road conditions are poor. During the rainy season, some unpaved roads are impassable, even with four-wheel drive vehicles. You should drive defensively, and keep the doors locked and windows closed at all times. The road from Nairobi to Mombasa is congested and can be dangerous for tourists unfamiliar with local driving conditions. You should consider air travel. Use authorized border crossings when travelling by vehicle between Kenya and Tanzania.
Public transportation
Public transportation is unsafe. Long-distance buses have been involved in a number of serious accidents. Matatus are generally poorly maintained, recklessly driven and are often without adequate insurance coverage. Incidents of matatus being hijacked or passengers being robbed have been reported. Use only hotel taxis, and confirm the fare in advance. Passenger trains are not safe and are routinely late.
The Government of Canada does not provide information on the safety of foreign domestic airlines. Research foreign domestic airlines, aircraft and government safety supervision if you have concerns about aviation safety standards abroad.
National parks, safaris and reserves
Most visits to national parks, game reserves and other popular tourist destinations in Kenya remain incident free. However, foreign tourists, including Canadians, have been victims of crime, sometimes involving violence. Remain aware of your surroundings at all times. Avoid camping alone or without expert local assistance.
Tourist facilities are widely available in Nairobi, on the coast, in game parks and in wildlife reserves, but are non-existent in the regions bordering South Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia.
Visitors travelling overland to certain game parks and reserves have been attacked by armed bandits. The route from Malindi to Lamu can also be dangerous. There have been rare reports of attacks or robberies of travellers on the roads between Nairobi and the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru and Tsavo game parks/reserves and the Mount Kenya/Aberdares area. However, there have been periodic hijackings, robberies and attempted robberies on the main road between Nairobi and the Tanzanian border, the road that also serves as the route to Kenya's Amboseli National Park.
There are inherent risks associated with viewing wildlife, particularly on foot or at close range. Always maintain a safe distance when observing wildlife and avoid exiting vehicles unless it is deemed safe to do by professional guides and wardens. Use only reputable and professional guides or tour operators and closely follow park regulations and wardens' advice.
The Kenya Tourism Federation operates the Safety and Communication Centre, which provides the latest information on tourism and road conditions, and assistance in an emergency. You can obtain information by calling the centre in Nairobi at +254 (0) 20-6004-767 or emailing to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Pirate attacks occur in coastal waters and, in some cases, farther out at sea. Mariners should take appropriate precautions. For additional information, consult the Live Piracy Report published by the International Maritime Bureau.
Cases of attempted fraud are frequently reported in this country. See Overseas Fraud for more information.
General security information
Local authorities are increasingly checking identification papers. Carry your passport with you at all times, and cooperate with authorities should you be questioned.
Maintain a high level of personal security awareness at all times and in all places. Take appropriate security measures, particularly on roads linking a city centre to residential areas, and refrain from travelling at night. Victims of attacks are advised not to offer resistance. Monitor local developments, register with the Registration of Canadians Abroad service and follow the messages issued through the service.
Entry/exit requirements
Entry/exit requirements
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from Kenyan authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the High Commission for the Republic of Kenya for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
To visit Kenya, Canadians must present a passport, which must be valid for at least six months on arrival. Before you leave, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
Canadians must be in possession of a visa to visiting Kenya. Visas are temporarily available upon arrival at the airport, or can be obtained via the Department of Immigration Services eCitizen website. It is recommended that visas be obtained in advance of arrival through the website. Visas are valid for up to three months and may be extended by contacting immigration authorities once you are in the country.
Tourist visa: Required
Business visa: Required
Student visa: Required
Transit visa: Required
Work Permit: Required
Work permits
In Kenya, anyone engaging in paid or volunteer work must have a valid work permit at all times. The penalties for not doing so can be a fine, jail or deportation, depending on the nature of the offence.
Work permits for NGO workers
The National Council of NGOs can provide assistance to individuals planning to work for a local NGO in obtaining a work permit if contacted in advance. If an employee moves from one organization to another, the first permit becomes void and the individual has to apply for a new permit to work with a subsequent organization.
Further information on work permits can be obtained by contacting the Kenya High Commission in Ottawa.
Children and travel
Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. See Children for more information.
Yellow fever
See Health to obtain information on this country's vaccination requirements.
Spot checks for proof of yellow fever vaccinations are increasingly common in Kenya. Carry a copy of your proof of vaccination with you at all times.

Routine Vaccines
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Vaccines to Consider
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a disease of the liver spread through contaminated food and water or contact with an infected person. All those travelling to regions with a risk of hepatitis A infection should get vaccinated.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Meningococcal disease
This country is in the African Meningitis Belt, an area where there are many cases of meningococcal disease. Meningococcal disease is a serious and sometimes fatal infection. Travellers who may be at high risk should consider getting vaccinated. High-risk travellers include those living or working with the local population (e.g., health care workers) or those travelling to crowded areas or taking part in large gatherings.
There is a risk of polio in this country. Be sure that your vaccination against polio is up-to-date.
Rabies is a deadly illness spread to humans through a bite, scratch or lick from an infected animal. Vaccination should be considered for travellers going to areas where rabies exists and who have a high risk of exposure (i.e., close contact with animals, occupational risk, and children).
Yellow Fever Vaccination
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
|* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements.
|Country Entry Requirement*
Food and Water-borne Diseases
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
In some areas in East Africa, food and water can also carry diseases like cholera, hepatitis A, schistosomiasis and typhoid. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in East Africa. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Cholera is a bacterial disease that is most often spread by drinking water or eating food that has been contaminated. It causes diarrhea and in severe cases it can lead to dehydration and even death.
Most travellers are at very low risk. Travellers at higher risk include those visiting, working or living in areas with limited access to safe food, water and proper sanitation, or to areas where outbreaks are occurring. Travellers at higher risk should discuss with a health care provider the benefits of getting vaccinated.
Schistosomiasis can be spread to humans through freshwater sources contaminated by blood flukes (tiny worms). The eggs of the worms can cause stomach illnesses like diarrhea and cramps or urinary problems. Risk is generally low for most travellers. Avoid swimming in freshwater sources (lakes, rivers, ponds). There is no vaccine available for schistosomiasis.
Travellers' diarrhea
- Travellers' diarrhea is the most common illness affecting travellers. It is spread from eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
- Risk of developing travellers' diarrhea increases when travelling in regions with poor standards of hygiene and sanitation. Practise safe food and water precautions.
- The most important treatment for travellers' diarrhea is rehydration (drinking lots of fluids). Carry oral rehydration salts when travelling.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among pediatric travellers, travellers going to rural areas, visiting friends and relatives or travelling for a long period of time. Travellers at high risk visiting regions with typhoid risk, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation should speak to a health care provider about vaccination.
Insects and Illness
In some areas in East Africa, certain insects carry and spread diseases like African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), chikungunya, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, dengue fever, leishmaniasis, lymphatic filariasis, malaria, onchocerciasis (river blindness), Rift Valley fever, West Nile virus and yellow fever.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
Dengue fever
- Dengue fever occurs in this country. Dengue fever is a viral disease that can cause severe flu-like symptoms. In some cases it leads to dengue haemorrhagic fever, which can be fatal.
- The risk of dengue is higher during the daytime, particularly at sunrise and sunset.
- Protect yourself from mosquito bites. There is no vaccine or medication that protects against dengue fever.
- There is a risk of malaria in certain areas and/or during a certain time of year in this country.
- Malaria is a serious and occasionally fatal disease that is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. There is no vaccine against malaria.
- Protect yourself from mosquito bites. This includes covering up, using insect repellent and staying in enclosed air-conditioned accommodations. You may also consider pre-treating clothing and travel gear with insecticides and sleeping under an insecticide-treated bednet.
- Antimalarial medication may be recommended depending on your itinerary and the time of year you are travelling. See a health care provider or visit a travel health clinic, preferably six weeks before you travel to discuss your options.
Animals and Illness
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, and bats. Certain infections found in some areas in East Africa, like avian influenza and rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Person-to-Person Infections
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practise proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks and impairs the immune system, resulting in a chronic, progressive illness known as AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).
High risk activities include anything which puts you in contact with blood or body fluids, such as unprotected sex and exposure to unsterilized needles for medications or other substances (for example, steroids and drugs), tattooing, body-piercing or acupuncture.
Tuberculosis is an infection caused by bacteria and usually affects the lungs.
For most travellers the risk of tuberculosis is low.
Travellers who may be at high risk while travelling in regions with risk of tuberculosis should discuss pre- and post-travel options with a health care provider.
High-risk travellers include those visiting or working in prisons, refugee camps, homeless shelters, or hospitals, or travellers visiting friends and relatives.
Medical services and facilities
Good medical facilities are available in Nairobi, but health-care standards in other parts of the country vary.
Keep in Mind...
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
Laws & culture
Laws & culture
You are subject to local laws. See Arrest and detention for more information.
Smoking is prohibited in all public places. Convicted offenders could pay heavy fines or serve a jail sentence. There are stringent restrictions on the retail of alcoholic beverages and its consumption in public places.
Possession of ivory, even in the form of a jewel purchased outside of Kenya, is strictly prohibited. Offenders can be arrested, given heavy fines or both.
It is illegal to destroy Kenyan currency, even in small amounts. Violators may be arrested and fined.
You are forbidden from working or volunteering in Kenya without a valid work permit. For more information on work visas, see Entry/Exit Requirements.
Permission to carry firearms must be obtained from local authorities prior to entering the country. Firearms are strictly forbidden in wildlife reserves and national parks.
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences and heavy fines. Persons convicted of possession of illegal drugs, including marijuana, could receive a 10-year prison sentence.
Possession of pornographic material is forbidden.
Photography of official buildings or embassies may lead to detention.
The laws of Kenya prohibit sexual acts between individuals of the same sex. LGBT travellers should carefully consider the risks of travelling to Kenya. See Homosexual, bisexual and transgender travel for more information.
Religious proselytizing is not permitted.
Dual citizenship
Dual citizenship is legally recognized in Kenya. However, Canadian officials may be limited in their ability to provide you with consular services if local authorities consider you a Kenyan citizen. You should travel using your Canadian passport and present yourself as Canadian to foreign authorities at all times to minimize this risk. Citizenship is determined solely by national laws, and the decision to recognize dual citizenship rests completely with the country in which you are located when seeking consular assistance. See Travelling as a dual citizen for more information.
During the lunar month of Ramadan (the ninth month of the Muslim calendar), use discretion when drinking, eating, and smoking in public between sunrise and sunset. Ramadan is expected to begin on or around June 6, 2016.
Common sense and discretion should be exercised in your dress and behaviour, particularly in the coastal region where the majority of the population is Muslim. You should dress conservatively and respect religious and social traditions to avoid offending local sensitivities.
The currency is the Kenyan shilling (KES). Many banks and hotels exchange foreign currency. Hotel bills are generally settled in U.S. dollars. Credit cards are widely accepted, and traveller's cheques, preferably in U.S. dollars, may be exchanged at banks, hotels and foreign-exchange offices. Travellers who import the equivalent of US$5,000 or more must provide documentation stating the source and purpose of the funds. It is possible to convert Kenyan shillings into foreign currency at the airport upon departure.
Natural disasters & climate
Natural disasters & climate
Rainy seasons
There are normally two rainy seasons in Kenya: from October to November, and from late March to mid-June. Heavy rains have the potential to cause sudden flooding and mudslides throughout the country. Evacuations, casualties and damage to infrastructure have been reported. The damage could also affect the provision of essential services. If you reside in or are travelling to affected areas, exercise caution, monitor local news and weather reports, and follow the advice of local authorities.
Natural disasters are possible due to regional volcanic activity. Pay careful attention to all warnings issued.

Even though the
MyISAM table format is very
reliable (all changes to a table made by an SQL statement are
written before the statement returns), you can still get
corrupted tables if any of the following events occur:
The mysqld process is killed in the middle of a write.
An unexpected computer shutdown occurs (for example, the computer is turned off).
Hardware failures.
You are using an external program (such as myisamchk) to modify a table that is being modified by the server at the same time.
A software bug in the MySQL or
Typical symptoms of a corrupt table are:
You get the following error while selecting data from the table:
Incorrect key file for table: '...'. Try to repair it
Queries don't find rows in the table or return incomplete results.
You can check the health of a
MyISAM table
using the
CHECK TABLE statement,
and repair a corrupted
MyISAM table with
REPAIR TABLE. When
mysqld is not running, you can also check or
repair a table with the myisamchk command.
See Section 220.127.116.11, "CHECK TABLE Syntax",
Section 22.214.171.124, "REPAIR TABLE Syntax", and Section 4.6.3, "myisamchk — MyISAM Table-Maintenance Utility".
If your tables become corrupted frequently, you should try to
determine why this is happening. The most important thing to
know is whether the table became corrupted as a result of a
server crash. You can verify this easily by looking for a recent
restarted mysqld message in the error log. If
there is such a message, it is likely that table corruption is a
result of the server dying. Otherwise, corruption may have
occurred during normal operation. This is a bug. You should try
to create a reproducible test case that demonstrates the
problem. See Section B.5.4.2, "What to Do If MySQL Keeps Crashing", and
Section 22.4, "Debugging and Porting MySQL".

I ran into a case where a large myiasm table threw the above error when it was included inside a transaction (by mistake) along with other innoDB tables. A bunch of mass deletes were taking place, and the operation always ended with the table corrupted.
A quick conversion to innoDB solved the problem:

When You are using a trigger (or triggers) with Your MyISAM tables they may be "unrepairable" when they become corrupted. In such a case, You should physically delete all trigger files from database directory (eventually run DROP TRIGGER command), then run REPAIR statement and finally define Your trigger again.
