They've waited three years for this day. Now, teachers, parents and students at Bay Haven Charter Academy are celebrating.
Crews broke ground Saturday on the 14-acre site that will house the new $12 million K-8 school.
Located on Highway 389, the $12million facility is expected to open the fall of 2005. You may remember the St. Joe Company donated the land.
Bay Haven Charter Academy Foundation volunteers have raised just under the $100,000 needed to help pay for construction. The school will begin selling $11.6 million in bonds beginning May 19.

Muncie, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - Keith Wenning threw four touchdown passes
and Horactio Banks added 143 yards and a score on the ground as Ball State
pounded Central Michigan, 44-24, in a rainy MAC matchup at Scheumann Stadium.
Wenning completed 20-of-29 throws for 299 yards, with Willie Snead hauling in
nine passes for 118 yards and two scores for Ball State (9-1, 6-0 MAC),
winners of seven straight since their lone loss at North Texas.
Central Michigan (3-6, 2-3) has dropped two in a row following consecutive
road wins. Titus Davis caught nine passes from Cooper Rush for a total of 187
yards and a TD, making up most of Rush's 284 yards through the air.
Rush also ran for a score, but all three of the Chippewas' touchdowns came
after they trailed by a 31-3 margin at halftime.
There was no looking ahead for Ball State prior to next week's crucial meeting
with undefeated Northern Illinois, a game that will surely help determine the
winner of the West Division in the conference.
The Cardinals went 75 yards in nine plays on their first drive and Wenning hit
Jordan Williams for an 8-yard touchdown less than four minutes in.
It only took three plays to go 96 yards for another score later in the opening
quarter. Banks rumbled 38 yards on the first snap, and Snead caught a 45-yard
bomb before catching one in the end zone from 13 yards out.
Wenning and Jamill Smith hooked up on a 30-yard seam to make it 21-0 just 1:19
into the second quarter, and Banks added a 25-yard touchdown run just before
halftime after both teams traded field goals.
Wenning and Snead connected for their second touchdown of the game late in the
third quarter. The 1-yard score came between scoring runs from Zurlon Tipton
and Rush.
Ball State's Scott Secor added the last of his three field goals in the fourth
quarter, and the Cardinals rolled to their 12th straight conference win
despite a late touchdown pass from Rush to Davis.

Marshall's most versatile 100W amp, an iconic cab and gorgeous artwork.
Artist Phil Kyle, of Magnum Opus Tattoo, says of lending his artwork to Marshall, "Representing my craft on a Marshall amp is like the two worlds colliding." Phil has been in bands since he was 15, so could relate very well to the concept. In his words, his style is "bold and solid."
JVM410H Tube Amp Head
In a nutshell, the Marshall all-valve, 4-channel JVM410H 100-watt tube head is the most versatile Marshall amplifier ever made. It also boasts more gain than any other Marshall guitar amp head to date-and that's really saying something.
Each of its 4 channels--Clean, Crunch, OD1 & OD2--are not only completely independent of each other, they all boast 3 modes, all 12 of which are footswitchable and feature their own unique gain structure. It makes the JVM 4-channel effectively 12 Marshalls in one.
The JVM410H amp head has studio-quality digital reverb with a level control for each channel. This is also footswitchable, as are the amp's 2 Master Volume controls and the Series/Parallel effects loop. Resonance and Presence are equipped with master controls.
Even though the head and combo both house 28 controls and 8 LED switches on their front panels, they're incredibly simple to understand because of the extremely logical layout. Each of the 4 channels has the usual suspects when it comes to control--Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble & Gain--accounting for 20 of the 28 controls right away. Take away the 4 reverb controls and you're only left with 4 Master controls--2 Master Volumes plus Resonance & Presence.
Add to this an ingenious footswitch (UK patent pending) and the fact all the amplifier's switching (channel/modes, Reverb, Master Volume selection, FX loop) can be done via MIDI and you're looking at an incredibly flexible amp! The 6-way footswitch boasts 7 LEDs and memory, plus it connects to the amp via a regular guitar cable.
From the cleanest clean to the filthiest distortion ever found in a Marshall and all points in-between, the JVM410H all-valve guitar amp head will give you whatever tone you need right when you need it.
1960A 300W 4x12 Guitar Extension Cabinet
The legendary Marshall 1960A slant 4x12" cab is rated at 300W RMS, loaded with a quartet of Celestion G12T-75 speakers. The rear input panel is switchable between 16Ω and 4Ω mono, and 8Ω stereo.

I try to install Zimbra 6 on a Virtual Host running Ubuntu 10.04 64Bit. The host runs with up to 4GB RAM and has a guarantee for at least 1 GB RAM.
The initial installation runs well. When it comes to startup the system, I run into problems. What I read out of the log files is that zimbra cannot startup a Java VM because Java cannot allocate the initial amount of RAM.
Fiollowing log entries show "cannot fork due to lacking memory" and so on.
I monitored systems total RAM usage and found that the zimbra startup consumes nearly 4 GB RAM when the trouble starts. The major RAM consumers are several Java processes.
I am no virtualization-pro, but I think that the startup process tries to allocate more RAM than the host can get from the real hardware. those 4 GB are not guaranteed.
Does anyone knows about such problems and can I somehow install zimbra on this virtual machine?
Thanks a lot!

One of the better Auto Rebuild type project shows currently out there. A good mix of personal interaction and the actual work being done to these relic cars of yesteryear. I personally like the sow because the shop rebuilds these cars within their own style being added to the project cars. Not just a rebuild the car back to it's original OEM style but put some new technology and new age styling into the car as well. Also to each episode is not just about one single vehicle but about what has "supposedly" transpired within this weeks time frame, so in fact several cars go thru their shop on each episode.

|Dave Vondy selected for Mountaineer Sports Hall of Fame
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Former Holyoke administrator Dave Vondy was recently notified of his selection for induction in the 2013 Western State Colorado University Sports Hall of Fame.
This NCAA national champion wrestler and member of the Mountaineers football team is very humbled to be selected for the honor of being considered and selected for the Hall of Fame.
As a wrestler, Vondy is a four-time NCAA national qualifier, four-time academic all-American and two-time NCAA all-American. The highlight of his career came in 2001 when he entered the NCAA national tournament unranked and unseeded, going on to win four consecutive breath-taking matches to win the national championship. This also earned him the honor of being named the 2001 Colorado collegiate wrestler of the year.
A memorable moment in football came on the heels of a Mountaineer Bowl upset over defending and eventual national champion UNC Bears.
Vondy will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at an official ceremony in Gunnison Oct. 11.

Well I the gps came today and I powered it up and promptly hit the wrong spot on the keypad and everything is in German and I can't figure out how to change it to English. Too bad for they didn't send instructions for dummies with the unit.
lol... hit setup... then hit.... system.... then hit what ever.... language... you want. Thats how you do the Oregon 450T anyway.
Thanks, how do you say set up in German! Guess I should have had one of the kids turn it on for me!
You're on your own on that one bro....good luck.
Well the daughter came down and the many years of college came in handy, she finally gopt to use the German language that she took one semester, probably for the only time since she graduated. At least it is now in English! Now to work up enough nerve to use it!
Sorry if this is a hijack...i was checking out the huntinggps.com site as mentioned here - how often do they have updates and are they free?
Looks like some pretty good stuff - just wasn't sure about the updates.
They are updated yearly and are $20 for the update. I have been using for the last couple of days and it is the greatest thing sence sliced bread.
Have you checked out gpsfiledepot.com yet? There are a lot of different maps available for all kinds of activities and the best part is they are free. I've got a Rhino 530 and it works great with these maps. Getting the maps loaded on your GPS isn't the most intuitive process but if you follow the instructions in the Garmin MapSource software it's doable. If anyone needs help loading maps I'll try to make a walkthrough. Just please give it your best effort first.

Tea party supporters urge county to oppose UN's Agenda 21 and gun control
Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
Local tea party enthusiasts on Tuesday encouraged the Marion County Commission to voice opposition to two of the activists' pet peeves: the United Nations' Agenda 21 and gun control.
First up was Sparr resident Steve Hunter, who asked the board to ratify a resolution opposing Agenda 21, the UN's 300-page report, unveiled at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, that spells out proposals for tackling a number of environmental matters.
Hunter's proposed resolution referred to Agenda 21 as a "plan of extreme environmentalism, social engineering and global political control," whose "destructive and insidious" concept was to undermine private property rights, to include owning a home and a car, under the guise of "sustainable development."
Hunter's document, which he read aloud, advocated that the board not only reaffirm its support for private property rights, but also publicly state its opposition to the policies of Agenda 21.
That would include not sending county employees to any "green" training rooted in concepts like "sustainability," "smart growth," or "Future Earth," and terminating within a year or rejecting any future federal or state grants that appear under the same umbrellas.
In a related request, Summerfield resident Roger Knechtel urged the board to publicly support the Second Amendment.
Commissioners could do so by passing his proposed resolution and pledging to nullify any federal law, executive order, or regulation deemed to conflict with the "true meaning and intent" of the Second Amendment.
"We have to take a stand," Knechtel told the commission.
But Minter, the county attorney, objected, saying the board's taking such a position could expose the county to "quite a bit of legal problems."
He noted that state and local governments are bound by the U.S. Constitution to submit to rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court.
"If we here in Marion County decide that we think somebody else's interpretation of the Constitution is different than ours, (that) we're going to do what we want to do, the government doesn't work that way," said Minter.
The attorney pointed out that he himself is a member of the National Rifle Association, and while he understood that gun control is an "emotional" issue, he added, "You can't respond to an emotional issue that you think is at one extreme by going to the other extreme."
He suggested that by adopting the resolution the commission would create the expectation that the county would act on it, and land repeatedly in court litigating federal gun laws it doesn't approve of. Better instead, he said, that the board make its disagreement know by appeals to its congressional delegation.

Spring Training Schedule Begins
Initially, Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers was slated to be just a charity, exhibition game that benefits the Surprise Sundancers and their efforts in supporting youth programs in the Phoenix West Valley area. The statistics wouldn't count. The results weren't going down in the books. The standings would not be in play.
Well…that has kind of changed now.
It's still a charity game between the two teams that share Surprise Stadium, but it's also going to count as an official Cactus League game, which means…
Spring Training is here and it's time to play ball!
Posted in the clubhouse down in Surprise, Ariz., Tuesday, the Royals first lineup of the season:
David DeJesus – CF
Esteban German – 2B
Mark Teahen – LF
Ryan Shealy – DH
Alex Gordon – 3B
Billy Butler – 1B
Shane Costa – RF
John Buck – C
Tony Pena, Jr. – SS

I admire your ambition but feel like you might be trying to do too much on your first trip. I'll be the first to admit I don't have a lot of backpacking experience but if you honestly want to hike in somewhere for 9-10 days, that is going to be tough. Probably more so mentally than physically. If I were you, I'd find a spot to hike in a mile or so and plan on staying there 2-3 days and see how it goes. Then plan on going back go the truck, regroup and resupply and then go from there.
Also, you said your one buddy expected to stay in a hotel. ALL of you will need to be 100% on board with what you want to do. If he isnt fully into the backpacking thing, you will be having issues by day 2.

In typical style, David Nalbandian looked absolutely thrilled after losing his Paris Masters shield to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga this weekend.
Doesn't the Argentine look like he's about to smack the nearest Parisian he can find with his lovely runner-up trophy (wait, where's Jo-Willy in that pic btw?) I guess he's pissed he couldn't pull off his October surprise this year and grab the Madrid-Paris double again.
David should know by now you can't put all of your season's eggs in these two baskets. No worries - there's always the Davis Cup final to save his season.

David was actually very gracious/sweet in his speech. It was nice to see.ReplyDelete
anon 11:19 - well, i would hope he was gracious in his speech because his face says something else. but how about a gracious smile?ReplyDelete
this is nothing new for him, really.
I was there, and indeed he seemed to be in a bad mood. But I can understand, he had the whole crowd against him.. :)ReplyDelete
Typical.... LOL.ReplyDelete
And yet again he didn't make it to Shanghai last minute.
It's really too bad he can't keep a steady form for too long - he's extremely talented.
Well, he did look like he wanted to get outta there as soon as possible. He did give a lovely smile at the mention of Davis Cup, so he better win this thing, or else...We might be in for another year or two of hibernation!ReplyDelete
I was anonymous at 11:16, BTW
nessa: well hello aka anonReplyDelete
sonja: i used to be a big fan of his but i got really frustrated with his seeming lack of interest in doing anything with his talent. it's so unfortunate but you see so many come and go who'd rather party/hang out/eat themselves silly than train and be the best - and he's right there with the best of them.
plus there's this sort of arrogance he gives off where he thinks he can just rely on his natural talent and he should be fine - wrongo!
'David Nalbandian looked absolutely thrilled' - haha lol!ReplyDelete
Rich, the thing about that arrogance he gives off, I was thinking the same.
I'm really happy for JW, he deserves it! The way he was smiling and crying after his win was so cute ^^
I have to say it's nice to see Nalby at least looking like he *cares* that he lost! He doesn't always seem to give a damn, you know?ReplyDelete
He's a real puzzle, but wow, when he puts his mind to it, he's an amazing player.
- Tennis ObserverNovember 3, 2008 at 1:25 PM
LOL not bad, but Hantuchova's face after the AO semifinal against Ivanovic was even betterReplyDelete
"Seeming lack of interest". That is exactly what I was always wondering, Rich. Sometimes he seems to not even care whether he wins or not. There's times when he beats the top 3 players in a row, and there's times when he earns several 1st round losses against some unknown qualifiers.ReplyDelete
I can't wrap my mind around what's actually wrong with him. He's been no. 3 in the world, and he doesn't seem to give a damn about the fact that he isn't anymore and probably won't ever be again.
I dunno what's with the attitude. Well, maybe he's really one of those guys who are fine with being around, always somewhere in the top 20, but never really hitting it off.
It's a mystery to me.

Much as I love writing about beauty, this blog pains me. Through my features, blogs and Twitter feed, I've made a name for myself as a health writer that favours budget buys over beauty splurges. I want to help babes on a budget save money and still look gorgeous, hence my many #deals tweets. But recently, I've been using one or two bits that aren't cheap and you may not class as essential… until you use them yourself.
Here are my top-five beauty buys that you may not know you needed, until now (sorry).
Benefit Porefessional Primer
I'm not famous, or infamous, enough to be followed by the paparazzi but the rise of Facebook means the morning-after a night out if characterised by frantic photo de-tagging. When I found that I was looking shiny in most night-out pics, I asked my local Benefit counter for help. I am now addicted to their new Porefessional Primer – pat on under foundation or use alone during the day for a matt finish. Benefit Porefessional Primer, £23.50, available online.
TempleSpa Bosom Pal
It's a bra in a jar! I'm too young to get wrinkles on the decolletage but it is surely only a matter of time. I've never used a boob cream before but TempleSpa's Bosom Pal not only tackled a few telltale lines, it also firmed up my cleavage and gave me an enviable shape even in a T-shirt bra. Use alongside daily press-ups for breast, sorry, best results. TempleSpa Bosom Pal, £40, available online.
I'm a regular false lash user and I've had to deal with patchy, weak eyelashes, loosened by poor quality glue and, yes, a bit of late-night tugging. I took a while to be convinced by M2 but, with daily use, this wonder-serum has given me enviable lashes in just four weeks. They are now thicker and… Read more

The recent improvement in the job market comes as welcome news for President Obama as he struggles to answer GOP attacks on the campaign trail that he's mismanaged the economic recovery. There are a lot of reasons, though, that it may be too early for the White House to start cheering about jobs.
There's no shortage of issues vying for voter attention as the 2012 presidential campaign kicks into gear. But with unemployment stuck above 8.5 percent for the 34th month in a row, the job market likely will top the list until the November election.
The White House hammered on the issue again week, as the president rolled out yet another round of job-creation proposals at a meeting with business leaders in the White House. This one is aimed at "insourcing" jobs that have been lost to overseas companies.
"I don't want America to be a nation that's primarily known for financial speculation and racking up debt buying stuff from other nations," he said Wednesday in the East Room to a smattering of applause. "I want us to be known for making and selling products all over the world stamped with three proud words: 'Made in America.' And we can make that happen."
The Obama administration has good reason to focus on boosting job growth. History shows that the trend in the unemployment rate can be more important to an incumbent's chances than the unemployment rate itself. Since 1956, every incumbent president has won re-election when unemployment fell over the two years leading up to the election. And none has won a second term when it rose.
After an historic wave of layoffs during the 2007 recession, the job market is showing convincing signs of life again. A week ago, the government reported that the unemployment rate fell to 8.5 percent, the second monthly drop. New weekly claims for unemployment insurance, despite a surprise bump higher this week, have been trending lower to levels economists say are consistent with an improving job market.
But those headlines create the first potential hazard for the White House. Economists note that an improved job outlook typically brings "discouraged" workers back in the official count of the total workforce; to be counted, you have to be actively looking for work.
As those discouraged workers begin looking again, they're added to the statistical pool of jobless workers. But unless they find jobs right away, their re-entry will push the unemployment rate higher.
Like many employment statistics since the 2007 recession, the surge in discouraged workers was extreme. The labor force participation rate - the percent of the population considered part of the workforce - is at the lowest level in nearly 30 years.
From a low of 363,000 when the recession began in December, 2007, the number of workers who are too discouraged to look for work more than tripled to 1.3 million last December. Since that peak, better job prospects have lured some of those people back in the workforce. But as of December 2011, some 945,000 still reported they had given up looking for a job.
Though job growth has picked up, it's still not strong enough to re-hire the large pool of workers left behind by the recession. From a low of 6.7 million in early 2007, the number of people out of work more than doubled to about 15.4 million in October, 2009. While it has since eased to 13.1 million, the current pace of job growth - an average of 162,000 new jobs were created each month in 2011 - is barely enough to keep up with the population growth.
The Obama administration has its work cut out for it to boost the pace of hiring. One big hurdle: Companies from manufacturers to oil producers report that they want to hire but can't find workers with the skills they need. The purported skills mismatch has left behind millions of workers with low-tech skills whose jobs may never come back. Even as the economy recovers, economists say that "structural" unemployment will remain stubbornly resistant to the improving job outlook.
For now, those long-term jobless workers are staying afloat with the help of unemployment insurance, which has become a divisive political issue. After several rounds of extensions, the current program provides up to 99 weeks of benefits for workers who have paid into the system. Congressional Republicans are gunning for major changes in the program after agreeing to a two-month extension in December.
One would cut back the total number of weeks of eligibility, cutting off benefits for millions of households. The other looks to limit eligibility to those who finished high school, unless they're enrolled in a program for an equivalency diploma. That battle, which heats up next month when the two-month extension expires, will open a new front in GOP attacks on the White House jobs policy.
While recent economic data are pointing the right direction, companies aren't creating new jobs as fast as they're booking higher profits. Even as hiring has picked up, the number of jobs openings declined, according the Labor Departments' monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). Employers filled nearly 4.15 million jobs in November, but the number of job openings shrank by 63,000, to 3.2 million. There still aren't enough jobs to go around: there's roughly one job open for every four people out of work, according to the JOLTS data.
Business also aren't using their rising profits to boost workers' paychecks. Though consumer spending is rising, it's coming from more borrowing, not higher wages.
"The consumer has been spending beyond his means once again," said private economist Gary Shilling. "We have seen a decline in the savings rate and a run up in borrowing. I don't think that's sustainable."
Shilling believes that a looming consumer spending crunch could bring on another recession in 2010. If that happens, President Obama will have an even tougher time getting re-elected.
"My Labrador retriever could get elected if we have a recession year," said Shilling.

In the Philippines , politics and entertainment are almost synonymous. Political events and politicians' antics unfold like a soap opera with many twists and drama, captivating the people. Democracy is enjoyed and taken very seriously and thus Filipinos would easily dispute any sign of political suppression. The media in the Philippines is one of the freest in Asia and are the biggest allies of the people in voicing their concerns and sentiments. The Philippines is a republic constituting three branches of government: executive, legislative and judicial. It is headed by a president and vice-president, who are elected to a six-year term respectively. The Congress is bicameral with a 24 member Senate and a 200 member House of Representatives. The government is modeled after that of the United States of America .
There are about 76 to 78 major language groups, with more than 500 dialects in the Philippines , showing how diverse its culture. The national language, that is Filipino, was established in 1947 based on the Tagalog dialect. English is widely used and is the medium of instruction for higher education.
FILIPINOS LOVE TO EAT! In addition to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, people will have a snack at midmorning, as well as a merienda in the late afternoon. Street food is very popular among Filipinos and there you will find the most exotic of snacks. For the adventurous eaters, you won't be disappointed with the surprising delights and variety you will encounter.
The Philippines is a tropical country and the climate is usually warm and humid. The average temperature is 70° - 80° F all year. The average rainfall in Luzon ranges from 35 to 216 inches. The country experiences wet season from June to November. In the cooler months, monsoon winds come from the northeast which shifts to the southwest in April through October. Overall, about 40 typhoons hit the Philippines each year, with most originating in the South China Sea , which is on the eastern side of the country.
The Philippines is unique among its neighbors in Southeast Asia . Its people have shown to the world remarkable ability to accept and assimilate foreign cultural influences and yet they think and behave in a manner that is uniquely Filipino. So it is that the visiting Chinese would see traces of his own culture and traditions. After all, history records the 12 th century traders from China , along with Indian and Islamic merchants who came to engage in bustling trade with the original Malay residents of the Philippines . The American visitor would immediately feel a kinship with the people and the land. After almost 50 years of American occupation, western influences are very much evident. But then, the Filipinos "filipinized" what the Americans brought in. And as to the visiting Hispanic, traces of Spanish influence remain in the cities of the Philippines and has become manifest in the language of the people.Filipinos are a friendly people. Wherever you travel in the Philippines you will be sure to be greeted with smiles. They have welcomed so many visitors to their shores that generosity has become a national trait. Mabuhay means "hello" and "welcome" in Filipino, and it is a phrase you'll see and hear often when you visit the Philippines.Filipinos are mainly of Malay origin with some Chinese, American, Spanish, and Arab ancestry. Characteristic Filipino traits are Bayanihan (the spirit of cooperation), piety, and close family ties. Filipinos's flair for English and love of popular culture may be derived from the American Occupation. Filipinos are emotional and passionate about life.This is a country marked by a real blend of cultures, East truly meets West. Cave-dwelling mountain tribes and semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers are among the more than 40 ethnic groups that constitute the country's cultural minorities. Perhaps the best-known of the groups are the Tasaday, discovered in 1971 after 50,000 years of cave-dwelling life in South Cotabato , Mindanao. Despite claims of a scientific hoax, their authenticity as a surviving Stone Age culture has since been confirmed Even more elusive to outsiders are the Badjao of the Sulu archipelago. These sea gypsies live on boats or in off-shore stilt houses and come ashore only to die. In the mountains of the Central Cordillera dwell 200,000 mountain people, all different in their lifestyles and origins. They include the Apayao, Bontoc, Benguet, Ifugao, and Kalinga. And then there are the Negrito people of the Luzon area. They are nomads, living in twig-and-branch huts, hunting with bows and poison-tipped arrows.There are several still lesser-known groups, and it's advisable to inquire about local sensibilities before poking your nose or camera into their territory. Filipinos are generally happy to share information, provided that you are willing to chat freely about yourself. Wherever you go in the Philippines , it's a good idea to have plenty of photos, inexpensive gifts, and conversational props on hand. A song, no matter how badly sung, is sure to bring out the welcome mat.

Ten Places to See in the U.S. Before You Die
by Jordan Simon. Posted Nov 15th 2009 04:56 PM
Continue ReadingEver since the author of '1000 Places...', Patricia Schultz, tapped into our collective fantasy about exploration, we have all compiled our own travel bucket lists. But since one traveler's must-see is another's must avoid, a list of America's ten top wonders is equally notable for what's not on it.

Splendors of Southern Africa - Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe
|Overview • Detailed Itinerary • FAQ's • Testimonials • Dates & Prices
Download Splendors of Southern Africa Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Windhoek, Namibia
You are met on arrival in Windhoek and transferred to your hotel. This evening, we will meet for dinner and your orientation. Overnight in Windhoek.
Day 2: To Sossusvlei
This morning we drive westward towards Sesriem, enjoying a picnic lunch enroute. Sesriem is the gateway to the world's highest sand dunes at Sossusvlei.
Day 3: Sesriem and Sossusvlei
Today we visit the world's highest and most picturesque sand dunes at Sossusvlei. Sossusvlei itself is a huge ephemeral pan set amid red/orange sand dunes which tower as much as 300 meters over the underlying strata. It would not be unusual to see gemsbok and ostriches roaming over the sand. The best way to get a feel for this "sea of sand" is to climb one of the dunes. The view will leave you in awe. Overnight near Sesriem.
Day 4: Namib-Naukluft National Park & Kuiseb Canyon, Swakopmund
Today we drive through Namib-Naukluft National Park and the Kuiseb Canyon on our way to Swakopmund. Namib-Naukluft is Namibia's largest national park and takes in much of the Namib Desert as well as the surrounding gravel plains and the dramatic Naukluft Massif. This mountainous area with dramatic scenery and superb hiking trails, serves as a refuge for Hertmann's mountain zebra.
Day 5: To Damaraland
This morning we make our way from Swakopmud to Cape Cross where we have an opportunity to visit the large seal colony of Cape Cross up close. We can also see where the Portugese landed 1486. We will arrive at our lodge just in time for lunch. Enjoy the afternoon at your leisure. Overnight in Damaraland.
Day 6: Damaraland Bushman, petroglyphs and the Petrified Forest
Today we drive to Twyfelfontein to explore the Bushman rock paintings. We will also see some of the extraordinary rock formations that occur in this area. In the afternoon we make our way to the Petrified Forest. See petrified tree trunks up to 30 meters in length with a circumference of up to 6 meters. Overnight in the Khorixas.
Day 7: To Opuwo, Kaokoland
Traveling up through Damaraland, we enter Kaokoland, often described as "Africa's last great wilderness" and home to the Himba, Zemba and Herero people. This faraway corner of the country perhaps represents Namibia at its most primeval. Overnight in Opuwo.
Day 8: Himba and Zemba tribes
Travelling with a local Herero speaking guide, we visit local tribal villages. Although their culture and language are similar, each tribe has maintained its own ethnic traditions and attire. Many still have little contact with the modern world. The Herero women wear multi layered long dresses with distinctive cloth headwear, while the Himba women wear very little and are known for their ochre body painting. The Zemba villagers are also distinctive in their body decorations. We will visit with these friendly but shy people for a glimpse into a way of life that has changed little over the centuries. As our guide translates for us, we learn about their lifestyles and culture. To thank the villagers for their hospitality, we provide them with a donation of food. Overnight near Opuwo.
Day 9: To Outjo
Returning south through Damaraland, we pass through spectacular scenery and through the flat plains to our hotel on the outskirts of the town of Outjo. It is not uncommon to sight game as we are close to Etosha park boundary. There will be time to stretch our legs on the grounds of the lodge and enjoy sunset from the comfort of the terrace. Overnight near Outjo.
Day 10: To Etosha National Park - Halali
This morning we will have time to visit the town of Outjo before continuing to Etosha National Park. Once we pass the park gates we will be on the watch for wildlife, stopping whenever they are close - we may even have to stop while they cross the road in front of us - wildlife has the right of way! Picnic lunch at a Park rest stop and then continue on to our lodge located within the park. In the late afternoon we will take our vehicle out of the seclusion of the lodge grounds to search for elephants, giraffes and zebra. Overnight in Halali.
Day 11: Etosha National Park - Namutoni
Today, we will send our luggage with our tour vehicle ahead to the next lodge and we will travel by open air safari vehicles with park drivers. These vehicles allow us to take the smaller tracks that criss cross the central area of the park. Game viewing should be amazing. Arrive at one of the most popular and best-kept lodges, Namutoni in late afternoon. Namutoni originally served as an outpost for German troops and there is a spectacular view of the floodlit waterhole from the tower of the whitewashed fort. This evening you can walk closer to the waterhole, relax in the ambience of the fort's courtyard or enjoy the solitude of your luxury accommodation. Overnight in Namutoni.
Days 12 - 13: Etosha National Park - Onkoshi
This morning we send our luggage with our tour vehicle ahead to Onkoshi Lodge, Etosha's newest and most remote lodge. We will enjoy the next two days in our luxury accommodations while enjoying safaris in our 4x4 vehicles. Search for lions, elephants, giraffes, white rhinos and even the extremely rare black rhinos. Overnight in Onkoshi
Day 14: To Guest Farm
This morning we will have one last watch for Etosha's wildlife as we depart on the eastern side and head toward Grootfontein. We will have lunch at our Guest Farm and spend the afternoon at our leisure. Overnight at Guest Farm near Grootfontein.
Days 15 - 16: Bushmen Experience, to Rundu, Kavango River
This morning we depart our Guest Farm and make our way to the Bushmen in their natural environment. We witness daily activities in the village, which may include food preparation, beadwork or bow and arrow making. We may have a walk in the vicinity of the village where we can see the many plants used for food and medicine - maybe even the poison for their arrows.
Days 17 - 19: To Okavango Delta, Botswana
Today we depart for the Okavango Delta. Our lodge is located on the western region of the Delta and serves as our home base for the next 3 days. From here, we transfer to our lodge located deep in the Delta's marshes. Depending on water level, we may transfer by 4X4, motor boat and/or barge.
Day 20: Fly over the Delta to Chobe N.P.
This morning we enjoy a flight over the Okavango Delta to Kasane, where we are then transferred to Chobe National Park. After lunch, we travel into the park in open air safari vehicles to search for the famous Chobe Elephants. The park is reputed to have some of the largest concentrations of game in Africa so expect an exciting afternoon. Overnight near Kasane.
Day 21: Chobe National Park
This morning we again travel in our small open air safari vehicles into the Park in search of elephants, giraffe, sable antelope and cape buffalo as well as the many other species found here. We will be able to access the small tracks and quiet areas in the Park allowing us excellent game viewing possibilities.
Day 22: To Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
After breakfast, we make our way into Zimbabwe as we cross the Zambezi River. After completing immigration formalities, we continue to our hotel, located within Victoria Falls National Park.
Day 23: Victoria Falls, 'Life of Livingston' by Local Historian
Today, we have a morning at leisure. Our group meets back at the hotel for lunch before we set off to visit the majestic falls and walk through the mists for a close up sight of the "Smoke that Thunders". The world-famous Victoria Falls are 1.7 km (1.1 miles) wide and drops between 90 meters (295 feet) and 107 meters (351 feet) into the Zambezi Gorge.
Day 24: Victoria Falls - Helicopter or Lion Walk, Zambezi sunset cruise
After breakfast, you have the option of choosing a helicopter flight over the falls, walking with lions or you may also wish to relax poolside, while overlooking the famous watering hole at our lodge.
Day 25: Depart Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Today we say goodbye to Africa and transfer to the airport to connect with our international flights homeward.

Classic Instruments Vintage-Modern Gauge Retrofit - "Restofication"Written by on March 1, 2010
When you jump behind the wheel of your car, what's one of the things you've always got your eye on? If you said anything besides "the road", you answered incorrectly-but we're not going to conduct a driver safety survey, so don't worry too much. As even the safest drivers will admit, your attention span is split between what's beyond the windshield glass and the cluster of telltale instruments that are literally at your fingertips. For the most part, "function" is the number one priority of your vehicle's gauges, as they are the communications control center linking you to all the vital stats of your car's mechanical components. It wasn't up until recently, however, that there were a whole lot of individual choices to make when it came to "form"-you either had to deal with mechanical/six-volt relics (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) or go with a popular aftermarket instrument.
Limitations are indeed a thing of the past. For those who need a way to think outside the box rather than follow the rules of conformity, there's a way to have the best of both worlds (gauge-wise) thanks to Classic Instruments. Along with offering the widest selection of aftermarket gauges there is, they also have set up an in-house program where customers can send their original gauges (or pretty much any vintage instruments) and Classic's Custom Team will retrofit them with all-new electronic instrumentation. Though they claim restoration is not part of the process, they do re-face gauges, and can do so to replicate the stock appearance or customize the graphics to your liking. Regardless, the end result is always the same: precision-engineered instrumentation packaged in a personalized manner.
Next time you're out scouring the swap meet (outdoors or online) and happen to eyeball an oddball gauge cluster-consider giving it a new life and home in your hot rod with a Classic Instruments retrofit. Or, if you prefer to keep your car's stock gauges, but a traditional restoration won't do, follow along and see what Classic did with some dilapidated '47 Chevy Fleetline instruments for a little "restofication" inspiration!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Classic Instruments' custom department has the knowhow and the resources to convert practically any shape, size, and/or application of gauges to the same modern, electronic instrumentation found in their line of popular gauges.The original speedometer and clock graphics get scanned, cleaned up a bit, and reformatted for future use. This process is done for both recreating OE faces as well as custom designs.Completed graphics are applied to freshly painted dial faces. With the minor exception of the Classic Instruments name at the bottom, the average person would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between these and a set of NOS ones.Classic Instruments may have done wonders with the gauges shown above, but in an attempt to not make the job even tougher than it already was, not to mention damage reusable items like the convex glass, they were individually packaged with care before being shipped off to their Custom Team for the pending retrofit.In preparation for the new instrumentation, the stock gauges are gutted from the housings and, in most cases, the housings are modified to accept the larger instruments.Besides visually evaluating the gauges condition wise (note the bezels are only partially painted here-they were pitted pretty badly, and since replacements aren't available, they would get painted completely instead), the Custom Team prepares for designing the gauge-face graphics.
Both speedo and clock received new transparent red pointers before getting hermetically sealed with painted bezels and polished glass lenses.All four gauges mount to a single aluminum plate that is then installed into the modified stock housing. The gauge faces have been treated to the same-albeit less intricate-retrofit, graphically speaking.There's definitely more to house now with the electronic instrumentation, but the space requirements are anything but restricted behind a '42-48 Chevy dash.On the flipside, both round gauges are pre-tested and pre-wired (each with a single weatherpac-style connector) before being called done. The speedometer is now fully programmable, as well, evident by the DIP switches at the top of the gauge.The process for the horizontal gauge cluster is pretty much the same, but a little different-each stock gauge mechanism is replaced with electronic units like the ones found in Classic's smaller round gauges.Once the cluster has been fully assembled, like the speedo, it too is completely tested to ensure gauge accuracy and then wired with a single, convenient harness.As mentioned previously, the round gauge bezels were painted solid rather than replicating the stock two-tone (due to badly pitted metal). When selecting gauges for an instrument retrofit, consider the condition of the parts that "can't" be replaced.
Considering these gauges weren't worthy of restoring in the first place, it really goes to show what an amazing job Classic's Custom Team is capable of.Along with some freshly-dipped dash moldings, the "restofit" gauges are back where they belong-and looking better than ever. On top of aesthetics, there's also the confidence factor in knowing this Fleetline will have the most accurate instrumentation possible.

I got this email today. Do your part and post a comment!
Take Action Today
Big Action Alert today. We need your help to return wolves to state management in yet another state. Here is what is happening. US Fish and Wildlife Service's public comment period for Wyoming's wolf-delisting closes in two days, January 13, 2012.
Anti-sportsmen from all over America have been working hard to post comments in an attempt to derail the return of wolves to state management. They are working hard to outnumber comments from the good people of Wyoming.
Let's even the score.
Here is where it gets interesting. Reportedly, less than 2,000 comments have been made so far. This is because automatic comments are not permitted by Fish and Wildlife's system.
Approximately 20,000 Big Game Forever supporters can turn the tide. This one will take 5 minutes to go through the sign-in process for US Fish and Wildlife's system. It is worth your time to help the good people of Wyoming.
See the message below on how to make a comment. Once you are in the system, you can keep your comments very short. Simply indicate you support the right of Wyoming and all states to manage wolves and other wildlife.
Your comment can make a huge difference. Please take 5 minutes today to protect the future of wildlife in America. We are winning one state at a time.
There is currently two ways in which you may submit comments:
1) - A hard copy can be submitted by U.S. mail to:
Public Comments Processing
Attn: FWS-R6-ES-2011-0039
Division of Policy & Directives Management
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
4401 North Fairfax Drive
Arlington, VA 22203
2) - Via email
To submit comments via email, in your search engine enter the following: http://www.regulations.gov. Once the link opens, look for the box which asks for a Keyword or ID. Enter FWS-R6-ES-2011-0039, then click the search button.
The next screen look for the heading "Document Type" and place a check in the box before Proposed Rule (1).
You should see below a section which should now read: 1 result for "FWS-R6-ES-2011-0039".
Within the orange box titled "View by Relevance", you should see to the right Submit a Comment.
Click on Submit a Comment and complete the form.
There are three Sections; 1. Enter Information, 2. Type Comment, and 3. Upload File(s).
Any information you enter in Section 1 will be available for all to read so use caution in how much information you provide. You may only want to provide a first name and your state. You may want to mention your affiliation with SFW or Big Game Forever. I would discourage you from providing your email address, phone number, etc as anyone with internet access will be able to view whatever you submit.
Your comments do not need to be lengthy but should clearly state you support the USFWS proposal to remove wolves from the list of Endangered and Threatened Species.
Once you have completed your comments click on the orange submit button and you should receive confirmation that your comments have been submitted.
Thanks again for your support and participation in this effort,
Ryan Benson
I received it today also. Done deal.
Done! Thanx for the info
Done, I hope it helps
Hopefully they can get a season going for us but the Wolf Mangment Plan put in place by the fed govt in 2001 states that no hunting will be done for 5 years after the delisting of them but i know the state is working to amend that. Here is hoping cause on my MN moose hunt in 2010 i saw several and on my bear hunt in the boundary waters in 2008 we had an entire pack come into investigate our rabbit in distress calls.
I went to a hearing in Denver last night put on by usf&w. It was hours of commentors getting 2 minutes to express their opinion on if the grey wolf should be delisted as the usf&w thinks it should and let states manage their populations. My son and I left after the first half. We are screwed! The emotion and the passion that the wolf lovers have is amazing. I never heard one anti wolf speaker. The commenters , for the most part , were wildlife biology professors, wolf rescue volunteers, wildlife biology graduates ( or liked minded and educated), people who fell in love with the wolf when they visited yellowstone, kids ( as young as 7), you name it, they were there.
People carrying posters with wolf kills and hunters posing with them were everywhere. One wolf lover, who started his 2 minutes saying that he had hunted in Alaska, had someone in the back shout out " MURDERER" during his comment period. A young girl couldn't even read what her mom had written down for her to say ( maybe she needed a teleprompter). Some commenters couldnt get thru 2 minutes without crying.
We live amongst these people and they are everywhere! I knew this was going to be onesided but I was amazed at their passion and their numbers and what they will do to be heard.
This wolf issue grew legs in 1978 and all the wolf lovers jumped on the band wagon and supported the usf&w but now because of healthy poulatios and population objectives have occured the usf&w wants to turn over management to states and the wolf lovers now are against the usf&w. They want it both ways. And they will probably get it. I don't know if there is enough money or people on our side to overcome the passion and emotion.
Did you expect anything less from DENVER....home of the liberals in Colorado. The USF&W schedules these in areas like this on purpose. Think they would ever have this type of hearing in Cheynne or Casper....I think not!
Just looked at an article from the Denver Post about the hearing. Seems like over 150 pro wolf supporters signed up to speak before anyone against signed. Sound like a little hanky panky to me.

Wait and seethe
Frank W. Blythes company increased revenue by $35.4 million, to $119.6 million, in the 12 months that ended in June. That should be good news for any business, especially one in the construction industry. But there isnt much excitement in his voice when he discusses the past few years. In 2007 we did $195 million. Now were just creeping our way back up, says the vice president of Charlotte-based Blythe Development Co.
Some executives of companies on this years list of the top general contractors in the state echo his message: Business just isnt what it used to be. Particularly in the private sector, Edifice Inc. Senior Vice President Bryan Knupp says, where a dearth of bank-funded credit has deterred companies from expanding and building. Charlotte-based Edifice fell eight spots from its position on last years list after its revenue decreased $45 million.
Public projects primed the pump but hardly flooded the industry with work. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 has disbursed about $663 million of the $735 million earmarked for North Carolinas roadways, but theres still $5 of need for every dollar of available resources, N.C. Department of Transportation Chief Financial Officer Mark Foster says.
Since the construction industry usually lags a few years behind the economy, most experts say it wont fully recover until 2014. Thats encouraging some companies, including Blythe Development, to look at alternative markets for revenue. Blythe used to focus on the Charlotte region but recently expanded into the mountains and other parts of the Piedmont. A data center in Greensboro for a major U.S. company is partially why it rose seven spots to No. 15 on this years list. We had to go wherever the work was. Ana McKenzie

Washington Edges San Diego Chargers in Overtime
Fullback Darrell Young scored three touchdowns, including the game-winning score in overtime as the Washington Redskins defeated the San Diego Chargers, 30-24 on Nov. 3 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.
With approximately 20 seconds left in regulation time, San Diego appeared to win the game when quarterback Phillip Rivers tossed a pass to Danny Woodhead that was called a touchdown on the field. But an official review overturned that ruling and instead put Woodhead one yard short of the touchdown. The Chargers settled for a field goal to tie the score 24-24, sending the game into overtime.
Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III then led his team on a 10-play, 78-yard drive that ended with Young plunging into the end zone for his third touchdown of the game.
Griffin made several clutch passes on the game-winning drive, most of them caught by receiver Pierre Garcon. Griffin finished with 291 yards and completed 23 of 33 passes; Garcon caught seven catches for 172 yards and running back Alfred Morris led Washington with 121 yards on 25 carries.
Rivers completed 29 of 46 passes for 341 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Keenan Allen led the Chargers with eight catches for 128 yards and a touchdown.
Washington improved their record to 3-5 and will face the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 7 in Minneapolis.

What College Students Need to Know About Voting
College students busy with classes, tests and social lives can find it easy to overlook what's going on outside of campus life. Voting in the upcoming election is definitely among the more important events coming up, and something many students will want to put on their "to do" list.
There are two ways to vote - by mail or in person - and there are good reasons for each.
Voting Absentee/By Mail:
Students may want to vote absentee because they have strong feelings about candidates or issues "back home" or simply prefer the convenience of voting by mail. To do so, simply complete an application to receive a ballot, which will be sent by mail. Absentee ballot applications are available online at
Voting in Person:
Students also have good reasons to prefer voting in person, such as supporting local candidates or issues, or simply to have the experience of stepping into a voting booth to cast their vote. While driving to their home voting precinct on Election Day is certainly an option, for most students, this will mean voting in the precinct they live in during the school year.
The main thing to remember is that voters need to reside in their precinct 30 days prior to Election Day, and their ID needs to match up with that address. Most students already have a current state-issued driver's license or non-driver's ID. Tribal IDs are also acceptable if they show the current residential address.
Students voting in person in their college town have two options for their ID:
If the college address is temporary (moving back home after the school year) they need to get a Student Identification Certificate for voting. This certificate verifies a dorm or apartment as the residence. The Student ID Certificate is available by logging onto Campus Connection. The Student Voting Information link provides everything needed. A Student ID Certificate is necessary because, unlike a student photo ID, the Certificate includes residential address.
If the college address is permanent (not planning to move back home after the school year) then the student needs to update their state-issued driver's license or non-driver's ID. State law requires all drivers update their address within 10 days of moving anyway, and the good news is it's the driver's license update will change your voter record, so it's all done in one step. This, too, is found at

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Education Department is breaking new ground with a directive that says students with disabilities must be given a fair shot to play on a traditional sports team or have their own leagues.
That message is being delivered to the nation's schools on Friday. The order is reminiscent of the Title IX expansion four decades ago of athletic opportunities for girls and women.
Education Department officials emphasize the goal is to insist schools cannot exclude students based on their disabilities if they can keep up with their classmates.
Students with disabilities could join traditional teams if officials could make "reasonable modifications" to accommodate them.
But if those adjustments would fundamentally alter a sport or give the student an advantage, the department is directing schools to create parallel athletic programs.
There is no deadline for schools to comply.
