The Rumors Are TrueJanuary 15th 2015 9:25 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
Today Mom told us that the rumors that have been swirling around here, are true. In 3 to 4 weeks, another DOG is going to be joining our family. Now I don't know what Mom thinks we cats need with another dog around, one sometimes is more than enough for us to put up with. Mom says not to worry, that when he comes, he will be only 8 weeks old and about the size of us cats. She also added that as long as we don't get too rough, we can teach him to play with us and also to RESPECT us. I don't know about the play part, but I do like what she said about the respect part of this. Since he's a German Shepherd like Destiny, I figure we cats better whip his tail into shape before he gets big. When I was griping to Mom about another dog joining our family, she asked me to think of one thing I could like about him and tell what it is. Well, the one thing I like about him is that he's the same color as I am. He's solid black just like me!

My family and I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a year ahead that's better than the one we leave behind us. To everyone who observes a different holiday than Christmas, we wish you a very happy holiday, a Happy New Year, and a year ahead that's better than the one we leave behind us. We also thank everyone for your appreciation of our kitty family, our diaries, our photos, etc, and for your caring, prayers, healing thoughts, power of the paw, and other such positives that you've given us through this tough year that's seen too many Bridge crossings a long difficult medical situation for Mom, and a difficult challenge for me in dealing with my feline vestibular syndrome.
Too Much "Help"December 16th 2014 8:51 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
Eating can sometimes be quite a struggle around here, particularly for me. Never mind that the cat food dishes are well filled with a good quality cat food that the cats all find quite palatable. Whenever I have something to eat, I also instantly have a very persistent little beggar/thief hovering around me. Despite being one eyed, a bit off-balance, and having the handicap of a head tilt to the right, Uno has honed her begging and thieving skills to a fine art when it comes to my food. It should be noted that Uno rarely begs or steals food from anybody else except me. She obviously knows she has me wrapped around her somewhat spoiled (somewhat? more like very spoiled) little paw.
An Expression of Bad TimingNovember 19th 2014 12:53 am

Mom's gotta go again today to have another surgery. Destiny got to go back to Mom's best friend's kennel for another vacation while Mom recuperates. We kitties however, get left out. We have to do without Mom while she's gone. Sure we have Russ staying here to take care of us while Mom is in the hospital, but nobody else is Mom. The best we cats can do is start planning our strategies to show our displeasure over Mom being gone. We already started carrying out some of our strategies to show our displeasure over having Russ instead of Mom as a caretaker. Russ left a big box of miscellaneous small items sitting on a chair in the living room. One of us, I won't say who, I don't want to be a tattle tale neither would I want to incriminate myself!...managed to dump the box and strew its contents across most of the living room. Mom heard the noise and came into the living room. Of course by the time she reached the scene of the crime, we cats had already fled. There wasn't a cat in sight. From our hiding places we watched as Mom picked up the mess and put the things back into the box...that wasn't exactly how we planned things to go. Russ was supposed to have to pick up the mess, not Mom. The timing of the instigator of the crime was off, we struck too early. Problem is, now Mom will warn Russ to keep his things in his room with the door closed so we can't strike his things again. And he missed out on seeing the big mess we made to show our displeasure and we missed out on getting to see his reaction. Oh well, we're sure to make the next few days interesting for him MOL!
The Doggy Doo-Doo Show From A Cat's Point of ViewNovember 3rd 2014 4:27 am
[ Leave A Comment ]
Lately the weather outside has been getting colder, the leaves are falling from the trees, and Mom now has to put on her hoodie when she takes Destiny outside. We kitties are so lucky (or smart!) we never have to go outdoors to relieve ourselves! I don't even know why Mom likes dogs or wants them when she has to go outside in all kinds of weather, no matter how hot, humid, rainy, windy, cold, snowy, uncomfortable, or nasty the weather happens to be; all because of the dog. Then Mom has to stand around out there and wait for Destiny to get down to business and relieve herself. Compared to us kitties, dogs certainly seem to be helpless creatures in some ways! Dogs also seem to have demented taste buds. I can't count the number of times Destiny has snatched or tried to snatch poop out of our litter pans. If she succeeds evading Mom and snatching the poop, Destiny then EATS it. Ugh! Except for mother cats who have young babies and need to keep the nest clean, no self-respecting cat would ever get caught dead eating poop!
Adjusting to FVSOctober 28th 2014 10:13 am

As time passes, Uno continues to adjust to her Feline Vestibular Syndrome conditiion. She's getting better at jumping up on things without losing her balance. It seems that where jumping up on things is concerned, much of her learning is by trial and error. At least now when she misses her target, she is becoming more and more likely to land on her feet. (It always scares me that she'll hurt herself when she jumps, misses, and fails to land on her feet although so far, even when she doesn't land on her feet she hasn't hurt herself. I catch her whenever I can.)
My Newest PlaythingOctober 16th 2014 2:39 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
Today I discovered a new plaything, Mom's hip brace. As you may know, Mom has had to wear a hip brace for awhile. As you also may know, I love to lay on Mom's lap. Mom's hip brace has two tabs on some kind of strings, which after the brace is put on, have to be pulled to tighten the brace's top part around Mom's waist. These tabs are fastened to the front of the waist part of the brace with velcro. Before you go assuming anything, NO I didn't chew the strings or bite them in half (although I briefly considered that option I was afraid if I did that, I might get evicted from Mom's lap.) When I slid my forepaw under Mom's shirt to inspect the waist part of the brace, I discovered that the tabs have a plastic edge on them that sticks out a little bit. I further discovered that I could curl my forepaw around that plastic edge and pull the tab away from the front of the waist part of the brace. Once I had freed the tab from the brace, it then hung from the string and I could knock it about. I then freed the second tab from the brace. Now I could play with both tabs.
Dresser Top BowlingOctober 13th 2014 4:03 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
Today I decided to play a game I haven't played in a long time. It's called "dresser top bowling". The objective is to clear the dresser top of as many objects as possible by knocking one object into as many other objects as you can and causing these objects to take a dive off the dresser top onto the floor. I was happily minding my own business playing my entertaining little game and had the dresser top mostyly cleared when Mom walked into the room and promptly spoiled my fun. "Uno!" she exclaimed. "Get down from there! You know better than that!"
Accuracy Meats SuccessOctober 2nd 2014 10:26 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
In spite of Mom's skepticism, I'm still thrilled at my long streak of DDPs and I'm still thankful for them. I'm also inspired by them. I feel that since I keep getting DDPs, I must make sure I keep doing things worth writing about and then write about them. Tonight I proved to Mom that in spite of having feline vestibular syndrome, I still can also have deadly accurate aim when I want to. Mom was eating a chicken sandwich when I sneaked up behind her. Faster than a snake, I struck. My teeth clamped down on their target, I gave it a good yank, and quickly departed under the bed with my prize. As Mom bit down on her sandwich, her mouth closed on the bun, the lettuce, and what was left of the cheese but her sandwich was now devoid of the chicken. I quickly sped off to my recent favorite hiding place, the back corner of the computer shelf. After what happened to Mom last time she tried to fish me out of that hiding spot, I didn't think she'd dare try to get me out of there again. I was right. Mom didn't come after me. She claimed that after I took the chicken (and part of the cheese) under the bed, it was no longer fit for her to eat. I don't quite know what she meant by that. All I know is that it sure tasted good to me!
Don't Burst My Bubble!September 30th 2014 12:23 am

I can't believe it. I feel so honored. DDP AGAIN! I think I'll go strutting around the house in front of all the other kitties telling them to look at me, I'm special because I got a DDP again. Oops! Does anybody know how hard it is to try to strut when you have feline vestibular syndrome and a head tilt? When I try to straighten my head and put it high into the air to make me look the part of the kitty the other kitties should admire, I lose my balance and fall over. Then when I get up and try to shake myself off and act like it was nothing, I lose my balance and fall over again. Then on top of all my embarrassment I'm trying so hard to hide as my attempt to show off to the other kitties, Mom whispers to me that she thinks that there might be something wrong with Diary Central. She said she thinks it might be stuck somehow and that's why I've gotten all these wonderful DDPs in a row. Chastened, I slink out of the room. Right now I'm glad that I'm a black kitty so the embarrassment doesn't show on my face.

Chevrolet Performance 19244095 - Chevrolet Performance LSA Supercharger Kits
Chevrolet Performance LSA Supercharger Kits
These compact powerhouse's of a blower displaces 1.9 liters and uses a pair of Eaton four-lobe, high-helix rotors for greater efficiency. That means the supercharger makes more power at lower rpm and sustains it through the upper reaches of the rpm band. On a 6.2L engine, it produces about 9 pounds of boost. These supercharger kits are based on the Cadillac CTS-V LSA engine's assembly and the ZL1 Camaro assembly, which the CTS-V has a slightly different intercooler cover than the ZL1 version. The Chevrolet Performance Superchargers include a fully assembled system with the supercharger intake, fuel injectors, cast cover, intercooler, front pulley, throttle body and gasket set. They fit engines with rectangular-port (L92-style) cylinder heads. Maximum boost pressure varies with engine displacement, compression ratio and other factors. Of course, you'll need proper tuning and an adequate fuel system to support this pressurized power adder (we suggest you use the new ZL1 fuel pump p/n 809-19258436), but when it's all together, the LSA supercharger has the capability of taking your LS or LSX engine's performance to a fantastic new level.

I have come across quite a few posts regarding full site backup, but my situation is somewhat unique, and I cannot seem to find a solid solution.
I have two sites. One is being used as just a blog. The other is a larger site with a blog as one of the many sections. I need to fully migrate the blog posts from the previous site and add them to the new site's blog, but just the blog posts. It can't be a feed. I need to physically, permanently move everything over. The blog posts have text and images, both of which need to move intact.
The original site is just blog posts (except the homepage). The new site is many pages/posts. I didn't want to attempt a full site backup, since that would be more than just post data. I don't need any site info, config info, and so on.
Copying over just blog posts is crucial. Additionally, I also have Disqus comments and Facebook/Retweet info. I'd like to move that, too, if possible.
Thanks for any help.

The three-day 2013 convention of the Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO — the state's largest union organization — kicks off at 9 a.m. today at the Hilton Vancouver Washington. The convention will feature a visit by Gov. Jay Inslee, remarks by Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt, a video address by U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and numerous workshops addressing key topics, including creating environmentally sustainable jobs and implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
The theme of the convention, "Building Bridges: Labor and Community," highlights the gathering's aim to "build community coalitions to achieve broadly shared prosperity for working families," according to a news release issued by the Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO. The convention arrives in a region marked by several disputes between workers and employers, including the months-long standoff over a labor contract between union dockworkers in Vancouver and United Grain Corp. at the Port of Vancouver.
Today, the convention begins at 9 a.m. with greetings from Leavitt and Shannon Walker, president of the Southwest Washington Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO. Workshops include "The Affordable Care Act and Beyond," and "Cooperatives: The Solution Unions Have Been Looking For."

(WJLA) - With fervent opposition from the Virginia House of Delegates to any form of Medicaid expansion, underlined by Thursday night's passage of a state budget geared toward preventing Gov. Terry McAuliffe from making an executive order to bypass the barriers, does he still have options - legal or otherwise - to keep alive his primary campaign issue?
Appearing Friday morning on NewsChannel 8's "NewsTalk," U.S. Senator and former Virginia governor Mark Warner - a proponent of the expansion -- paused when asked about it by host Bruce DePuyt.
"Bruce, I don't know," Warner said, pausing again before continuing. "I think the better way would still be to go through a legislative process and see if there is a Virginia-centric way. . .My hope is that there can still be discussions going forward."
At stake is health insurance for approximately 400,000 low-income residents, which would be accomplished, in part, by accepting funds available through the Affordable Care Act.
Talk of a unilateral move by McAuliffe has been swirling around political circles for a couple of months, as two keen followers of Virginia politics, University of Mary Washington professor Stephen Farnsworth and University of Virginia scholar Larry Sabato, noted before the budget passage.
So the question remains: Could it still happen?
"The road forward is blocked, as it is, for the governor on Medicaid expansion," Farnsworth said. "The governor's team is going to think about ways around. Governors in other states have authorized Medicaid expansion by executive order."
But in Virginia?
"It would be a very bitter pill, Farnsworth said, "and likely will trigger lots of litigation if McAuliffe tries to go down the same road."
Added Sabato: "How will people react? It's a polarized era. Democrats will hail the action, Republicans will condemn it.
"But McAuliffe will have center stage at first, and if he uses the bully pulpit well, it might stick. But who knows? The details are too fuzzy right now."

Turdy France notes
July 7, 2015 § 12 Comments
As much as I try to ignore the annual pro-wrestling championships for skinny people, the Tour invariably impinges on my serenity. Here are the impingements so far:
- Cav is a d-bag. Sitting up in the sprint because he couldn't win, letting Cancellara get third, and thereby depriving TEIMMATE Tony Martin of yellow? There is apparently a very large "I" in Teim, or rather a very large "Cavendish" in "douchebag."
- Since the Tour no longer has 300-mile stages and it's "short" enough for most riders to complete, and complete pretty tightly bunched, the challenging, cobbled, wind-swept, hardass opening stages are fantastic. Nice work, whoever continues to push for such stages.
- Tony Martin no longer has to drag his dick to the microphone and answer the German journalists' questions about why he didn't win stage one, why he didn't win stage two, why he didn't win stage three, why he didn't win stage four and why in the world is he NOT in yellow?
- Enough with Astana and Boom's doping. They all cheat, it's pro wrestling for skinny people. Can we sweep all that under the rug for another few years until someone important dies? Thank you.
- Froome hasn't fallen off his bicycle yet. Amaze-balls.
- In addition to boycotting the Tour, we'd appreciate it if Oleg Dickov would just boycott cycling and go back to making usurious payday loans to poor people. Oh, wait, he never stopped …
- There are three Americans in the Tour: Van Garderen, Talansky, and Farrar. Way to build the grass roots, USA Cycling! Perhaps they could work with Alto Velo to sue some more small pro teams and encourage promising riders and sponsors to quit the sport?
- Pro bike racing is more dangerous in terms of injuries per race than any motor sport. It's no fun watching the yellow jersey swap shoulders because of crashes (Cancellara), or watching the whole event turned on its head because contenders crash out (Froome, Contador in 2014). It's also no fun watching people get hurt.
- Trying to reach a cyclist on the West Coast on July late mornings is like trying to get a SoCal handyman when there is a good swell.
- It will be interesting to see how much, if any, Tour Fever has spread to Germany. It's taken years for the cycling public to recover from Ullrich/Zabel Telekom.

Terpstra stripped of 2014 Paris – Roubaix win
April 14, 2014 § 27 Comments
Less than 24 hours after soloing to victory out of an elite group of the world's best cobblestone specialists, 2014 Paris – Roubaix winner Niki Terpstra (HOL, OmegaPharma – Quickstep) was stripped of his victory by race organizer ASO Sports. At a hastily convened press conference in Paris, ASO president Antoine de Saint-Exupéry issued the following press release, which is reproduced below:
ASO regrets to inform M. Niki Terpstra that he has received a disqualification in the 2014 edition of Paris – Roubaix 2014 because of his unpopularity, or to be more precise, because no one knows exactly who he is. By finishing ahead of MM. Tom Boonen and Fabian Cancellara, M. Terpstra has taken away an important marketing and sales opportunity for global cycling and ASO, which has been poised for several months now to profit handsomely from the victory of either M. Cancellara or M. Boonen at Paris – Roubaix. M. Terpstra will be allowed to race the 2015 edition of the race, but only if he agrees to finish no higher than second. The official winner of the 2014 edition of the race is hereby designated as M. Fabian Cancellara, the third place finisher. This now places M. Cancellara in the ranks of the greatest riders ever, with four Roubaix victories to his name, and promises an incredible showdown in 2015 between him and M. Boonen to see which one will be the first ever rider to win this monument five times in his career.
Terpstra stunned
Terpstra was stunned to learn that he had already been stripped of his victory, and he immediately broke down. "It is true my first name is that of a girl and my last name sounds like a kind of turtle, and it is true that few people know who I am, and worse, that I am Dutch, but I won Paris – Roubaix honestly. How can they take it away just like that?"
Other riders were sympathetic, but understanding of the difficult position in which ASO was placed with Terpstra's win. Second place finisher John Degengolb agreed that "It's a shame to strip him of the win, but it's even more of a shame for a great race like this to be won by a nobody with a girl's name. Would the NBA tolerate a championship by the Rockets or the Bucks? Of course not. It's bad business."
Tom Boonen concurred. "Either I or Fabian should have won today, everyone said so, including me and Fabian, so it's only fair that Niki got DQ'd. You have to remember that unlike the premier European soccer leagues, in cycling we don't have refs who can make sure that the fix is in. Niki had the ride of his life, but with Fabian being declared the winner it really sets up a more dynamic spring classics season for 2015."
CAS appeal possible
Although Terpstra has promised to appeal his disqualification to CAS, a long line of precedent suggests that a successful appeal is unlikely. According to attorney Jean-Jacques Rousseau, "ASO will be able to prove without question that no one has any idea who Terpstra is. He's less than unknown. He's a mote of irrelevance in a niche sport within a micro-fissure of anonymity."
Others are less sure. According to one sports lawyer, Terpstra may have a chance on appeal. "While it's true that famous races in general must be won by famous racers, there are exceptions such as Van Summeren's win in 2011, Guesdon's in 1997, and the forgettable Servais Knaven in 2001. If these non-entitites can have their names engraved at the velodrome in Roubaix, why not Terpstra as well?"
The answer appears to lie in the historic clash between Boonen and Cancellara, according to Rousseau. "If this were a normal year it would perhaps be acceptable to throw a bone to a nobody. But this year is far from normal. We must ensure that the results comport with the marketing opportunities."
Race preview: Paris-Roubaix 2014
April 10, 2014 § 7 Comments
This year Paris-Roubaix promises to be the one of the best editions in years. Here's why:
- With the less-than-on-form Tom Boonen failing to effectively challenge Fabian Cancellara at the Tour of Flanders, 2014 marks the first time in over a decade that there is less than a 98% chance that the race will be won by either Tommeke or Fabs. Riders, fans, and pundits alike are thrilled at the 3 – 4% chance of crowning a new winner.
- Following the sunny, pleasant weather of the Ronde, Paris-Roubaix promises to be another beneficiary of the global warming that seems destined to kill off the human race while, instead of hanging the Koch Brothers and Exxon from the nearest yardarm, instead basks in the warmth of a fun bicycle race. Trademark applications have already been submitted to change the race's nickname to the "Heck of the North."
- Rainy, chilly weather ruined half the pro peloton's Belgian campaign with the sniffles and the ouchies after Milan – San Remo, so team managers are doubly pleased at the prospect of picnic weather for Paris – Roubaix, even as the ghosts of Roubaix Past roll in their graves.
- As with MSR and the Ronde, Paris – Roubaix 2014 promises to be another epic "strategic" battle between alcoholic, drug-addled team directors screaming instructions into earpieces while their automatons robotically follow instructions until their legs fail or their bicycles break. A PSA on race radios and how they've improved race safety will be given by Johan van Summeren.
- The finishing velodrome will not be renamed "Specialized."
- American fans have a new, popular, handsome, energetic disappointment to replace the old, battered, brokedown disappointment of George Hincapie, as Taylor Phinney promises to be one of USA's greatest potential 2nd-place finishers since Big George.
- A handful of up-and-coming French riders promise to bring Gaulish strength back to this legendary French race by threatening to crack the top fifty.
- 2014 Paris – Roubaix has introduced a brief comedy segment called the "Wiggins Hour," where Mr. Drinkypants himself seeks to be the first TdF – PR winner since Bernard Hinault.
- Sep Vanmarcke believes he's ready to beat Cancellara in a sprint finish on the velodrome in Roubaix because, unicorns.
Top pros analyze Tour of Flanders 2014
April 8, 2014 § 18 Comments
Cycling in the South Bay was privileged to interview several top professionals after Fabian Cancellara split the lead group and won out of a four-up breakaway.
CitSB: How did the race unfold?
Sep Vanmarcke: I was with Cancellara over the Kwaremont and Paterberg, but in the end he destroyed the field and made us look like children. Belgian children. Stupid Belgian children.
CitSB: Any conclusions about the race?
Greg van Avermaet: All in all it was a more tactical race than the last two years, since changing the finish from Meerbeke to Oudenarde. I am very pleased with second place but it was very difficult to beat Cancellara due to him crushing us all like a bunch of bugs on the windscreen of a jet.
CitSB: You must be disappointed with seventh place?
Tom Boonen: Yes, of course, I was just two percent or so off. I believe I had a chance to beat Cancellara, but that was only in the warm-up around the bus.
CitSB: How would you evaluate the race?
Peter Sagan: Evaluate it? I got my ass whipped. You know how they say it in Slovakian? "Your eleventh finger is in the meat grinder."
CitSB: What was going through your head as you approached the line in a 4-up breakaway with Cancellara?
Stijn Vandenbergh: "I'm totally screwed." Something like that.
CitSB: You must have felt good about your early breakaway, taking the pressure off Greg for most of the race?
Taylor Phinney: If you think it feels good to have Cancellara annihilate an entire field when you're one of the riders in the field, you're a complete fool.
CitSB: What is Team Sky planning to improve on its top Ronde placing of 65th?
David Brailsford: We'll do some more marginal gains away from the testers next year, that's for sure. And wait for Cancellara to retire.
CitSB: It's been 2008 since Italy won a monument. Why do you guys suck so bad?
Filippo Pozzato: I would like to point out that Cancellara comes from the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland.
CitSB: How does a guy with no teammates beat an entire field of 200 riders, including 30 riders from Omega-Pharma-Quickdope riding on their home turf?
Patrick Lefevere: Heads will roll, trust me. We do not race for second place. In fact lately we haven't even been racing for tenth. Firings and public humiliation will continue until morale improves.

'I will rather betray the world then let the world betray me'Cao Cao
There was a good guide to leading a tribe on the General Forums a week ago. You could check that out
Shlomzi is very skilled and and yes there's much to learn from him but with all due respect to Shlomzi and fans, I would not recommend you rely on his guide alone. Definitely take all the knowledge and wisedom you can from it because he did accomplish many things and there is a lot of wisedom... but you definitely need a second guide because based on what I have seen from Shlomzi.. somewhere along the lines something always goes horribly wrong.
My point is not to trash the past accomplishments but to always seek to be better and improve on the past mistakes then the past leaders. The higher your aspirations, the more you will work for them, and the more you will accomplish :-)
By the way.... do you lead a tribe in W36 or did you just want general tips?

Here follows the post of Warhams Guide to leadership. Warham was one of our most beloved advisors over at DSl and this is his legacy
Took me a while to write it, but I'm finally happy with the result. I asked alot of ppl's critics, but I would like to thank Knuckledragger for some very valuable adds, and henchman for his thoroughly pointed out criticism.
Leadership fundamentals by warham
I have now lead a tribe for two times before. The first time I got kind of dragged into it by a friend who was wanting to make a pre-made tribe on world 25 called POINTS, later renamed BALLS. At that time I had had experiences with leadership roles before, but I had always done concrete jobs with clear orders from above, so I didn't know what to expect and I failed my tribe after my co-duke went inactive. The second time came by accident; I just joined the rim in world 26 out of boredom and was just going to see what happened. I met 3 guys who I became friends with and we made our little tribe early on, and were later invited by a dominant tribe in our continent. They were obviously full of newbs and their duke who was fairly intelligent also had no prior experience in Tribal Wars, but even though most players didn't have any quality yet, the strategic locations of the members were good inside the continent and I saw a potential of active newbies who were ready to learn, so I joined the tribe, now still called IMK. I immediately started mentoring some of the players and posting guides and learning it to them. Unintentionally I started gathering respect from them and after a while I became a co-duke, and for the second time in my experiences, my co-duke went inactive and I had to take over the reigns. He's still there as the founder of the tribe and a co-duke though, I learned from my first mistake and did not take away his status as a duke which I did the first time.
At that time I tried searching for guides about leading a tribe by yourself, but couldn't really find what I was looking for, therefore I have now carefully laid out some basic fundamentals, from a more economic point of view then I intended when I started writing this guide, about running a tribe for who-ever is looking for it.
Cheers, Warham!
1 Rules
Every tribe, whatever kind of tribe, must first and foremost formulate rules and codes of conduct, varying from tight security measures to general guidelines. Only by having this will the work contribute some kind of value to the system.
Nevertheless, this is not enough. A tribe must also discover the exceptions that show limitations of the rules, and therefore be prepared to make adjustments. If that does not happen, then your tribe mates will not follow the rules. Also remember that rules may need to change as your circumstances change. A tribe must often adapt the rules to keep competing with other tribes.
The balance of the rules and exceptions will partly determine the success and integrity of a tribe. Therefore the development of rules that applicate to as many exceptions as possible is crucial to every tribe.
Some common rules for tribes are:
Joining – how many points to join, ODA levels, the need for an account sit before joining, geographic proximity to other members.
Membership – how active each day, growth rates, going yellow or red, not following other rules, not responding to mails, posting in the forums.
Integrity – only having account sitters from your tribe, making sure things that ordinary members say are just their opinions and not the tribe's formal position, making sure members do not accidentally leak information in what they say outside the tribe.
Player Growth – making proper claims, times to finish claims, maximum number of claims at once, the size of claims targets, resolving disputes about claims, giving guidance on how to grow villages and make successful attacks
Player support – making proper requests, not dodging with your own troops and letting your tribe mates take the damage, helping each other
War – who decides, who declares, how to manage war claims, how to manage war support
1.1 The tone of the tribe
As a leader you need to set the tone for the tribe. Will it be para-military, with everyone required to report in, have regular account sits to prove they are building villages the way you want, required to show proof of ODA and sub-second noble trains? Will it be a social club, where the "off-topic" tab is the only part of the forum where anyone posts? Will it be where the leader tells everyone what to do, but does not seem to do it himself?
Another way of looking at it is whether you will be a dictator, a populist leader who has a tribal vote on everything, an absentee-leader who lets the tribe members do what they want, a nepotistic leader who lets his friends and favourites have what they want and stops others, or will you find a balance of hearing what others have to say, but making the decisions – easy or hard – for the tribe to follow. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages.
The tone a leader sets will determine the kind of players that are in the tribe and whether they will stay. Tone and leadership style varies, but a good mix is probably one which has some rules, offers some support for members, lets them blow off steam sometimes but also makes sure that they know when things are serious they need to get serious as well.
If a leader does not have the respect of the tribe members you are headed for a fail. Just because you demand respect does not mean you will get it or that you deserve it. Just because you are a Duke, or you made someone a Baron, does not mean that they (or you) are a good leader if there is no respect. Respect is earned by helping others with ideas and advice, by showing you can do what you ask of others, by putting your own troops on the line when you need to, and by listening to the ideas and suggestions and complaints of others in a fair manner.
Remember: To disrespect is to get disrespect, to give respect is to get respect.
2 Analysis
Every tribe, wherever, must always analyse every single product of it's doings, that means not only every member separately in their individual doings, but also the attack group that members belong to, and the captain commanding that attack group and the general commanding the captains. Each member, each officer, attack group and each war etc. must be analysed to it's fullest content for possible flaws and improvements, and the members that have multiple jobs, for instance a captain who not only has the job of leading his men into battle, but also participating in the battle like a regular member, must be analysed in both of his jobs.
It is offcourse of major importance to act on your analyses and with that, replace your past systems with renewed and improved version, to improve the entire entity of the tribe and keep competing with other tribes.
To keep improving it is necessary that every product is re-analysed and possibly improved on a regular basis. The process of learning and improving is a never-ending story.
Also keep in mind that the entirety of the different components put together should always have a bigger appreciation then the components itself.
People analysis is done by talking and listening. See what people say in the forums and how often they speak. See what people say in mail messages. If you interrogate people, they will be offended, so form your impressions in ordinary conversation most of the time.
2.1 Environmental Analysis
Keep constant track of your external environment as well. As a player, know the other players around you, try to know when they are active, watch which direction they are nobling villages, watch how their points or OD goes up. Encourage every member of the tribe to be aware of their surroundings.
As a leader, keep constant track of the world around you. Which are the other tribes, have they changed? Are they recruiting members? Are they losing members? Are their points going up or down, what is the average size of their players etc. Use tools like TWStats and pay attention to the public forums.
3 Leading individuals
It is at least as important that a tribe gives information, care and support to every tribe member separately, and insures that each and every individual contributes to the needs of the tribe. It is a condition for the success of the tribe that the motivation and activity of an individual are in service of the greater good of the tribe, which objectives automatically run parallel with those of the individuals themself.
Strive for a tribe that has a system in which the individualistic needs rhyme with those of the collective. A balance between rights and duties, mutual benefits for the individual and the community is of the outmost importance.
Much of your leadership is en-masse via posts to everyone in the forums or in circular mails. Some of it will be working with the other leaders, the Barons, Generals or area Captains. Sometimes it will be one-on-one conversations with people, to get to know them, to know what they want.
4 Choosing favourites
To effectively operate your tribe, you must give some kind of a status, a certain position in the tribe and the necessary respect to everyone that proved themself useful to the tribe. Of course a tribe has interests in letting the ones that perform the best, receive more influential positions where they can exceed their own performances and can be an example to others.
Rewards must be in agreement of the provided contributions. But the tribe must first define what is worth to pursue and the goals it wishes to accomplish are worth the trouble. This also goes for the people who define these goals.
The power to create something of value therefore depends on the integration of acquired status and attributed status.
Sometimes you need to realise that another player is a better or equally good leader. Not everyone can be a duke, but sometimes a tribe member will be promoted to Duke. Sometimes a Duke might recognise that they need to step down a bit, maybe temporarily, for the good of the tribe. I have seen a tribe where a well respected Duke carefully arranged for others to take over his role and stepped down to be just an ordinary tribe member because of changes in his personal life. [W27 stuff for me] He had more respect from the tribe for doing this than by trying to pretend he was a Duke but not being really able to help the tribe row and develop. Founding Dukes are a bit different, in many cases as a sign of honest respect, these people remain as Dukes but if they do not have the capacity to grow the tribe to its full potential, they promote others who can.
5 Internalise the external and reversed
The same balance goes for the decisions and objectives being determined, even though this is something totally different from the tensions between individual and community. Are these matters that have come from the inside, or were they diplomatically enforced by the outside? A tribe rejecting ideas from the outside can not grow for long. But a tribe that doesn't draw power from its own members also leaves a source of intelligence unexploited.
A tribe therefore must not only look on inside but also aim its vision to the outside world.
6 Creating equal development possibilities
Something very important for morale, a tribe must always offer equal development possibilities to every member to provide valuable contributions. If this doesn't happen that you will never know what suggestions and ideas dwelm in certain minds that could be used for the good of the tribe.
Creating equal possibilities is only possible if you listen to everyone separately, however if every suggestion of every member receives as much attention, like a democracy is supposed to be, you will never grow and every decision will have to be suspended constantly. To avoid this, contributions of members should be subjected to a hierarchic structured form of judgement. The people that stimulate and judge those contributions must be objective about it, otherwise there aren't equal chances.
A tribe requires a balance between the equal opportunities and a hierarchic structured judgement of the quality of the contributions.
7 Reputation
Wars are not allways won on the battlefield, and rarely started on the battlefield. Therefore, a good reputation is also vital for a tribe, unless you're tribe is so good that you can 'win' the world by yourselves.
A first thing you need to do to increase your tribe's reputation, is select a tribal representative. This needs to be someone in the aristocracy, or at least someone who can read the hidden forums, as knowledge is power. This person needs to be well articulate and have a very good understanding of the english language, preferrably a native english speaker. Language however does not even come in the first place. This representative must have integrity, respect for other players of all tribes, and know a thing or two about propaganda.
Propaganda is the deliberate, systematic attempt to shape perceptions, manipulate cognitions, and direct behavior to achieve a response that furthers the desired intent of the propagandist.
-Garth S. Jowett and Victoria O'Donnell, Propaganda and Persuasion
7.1 Propaganda
There are many techniques for propaganda, wikipedia listed no less then 33 techniques. I selected some of the (in my eyes) most important techniques that are often used unintentionally or unaware that it is definately propaganda:
Personal attack – Instead of attacking your opponents arguments, attack his credibility and his person. You can do this in numerous ways; demonizing your opponent, spreading rumours, labelling, stereotyping, ...
Big lie's – Sometimes big lies are more believable then smaller, because people often don't think someone would be capable of spreading such a big lie, and thus accept it for the truth.
Honesty – The simplest form of propaganda: an honest argument where the audiënce is left to draw it's own conclusions.
Repetition – If you say the same lie enough times it becomes the truth.
Style – Increase your own credibility by making people like you. Again numerous ways to do this; use 'big' words, write in a way that attracts others, be seen making friends with other respected players, witty remarks/witty siggnatures, ...
Black or white – With us or against us.
Also not to be forgotten are: Half-truths, oversimplifications, vagueness, the use of compelling but irrelevant arguments, incomplete facts and scapegoating.

Several hardy shrubs, some of them evergreen, produce bright-orange berries in late fall and winter, adding color to the cold months. Many provide food for fruit-eating birds, such as robins, thrushes and cedar waxwings.
Firethorn (Pyracantha)
Firethorn (Pyracantha) berries shade from bright orange to red orange. The spiny shrubs are hardy to United States Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zone 6 and have dark green leaves, evergreen in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7 and above. They do best in full sun. Pyracantha Mohave grows 15 feet tall in 10 years and bears deep-orange berries. Pyracantha Gnozam is a dwarf variety with orange berries that grows 6-feet tall.
Seaberry (Hippophae Rhamnoides)
Seaberry (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a deciduous shrub that grows 25-feet tall. It is hardy to USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 4 and produces edible, orange berries with seven times the vitamin C of lemons. Seaberry needs a male pollinator plant to produce fruit on female plants. Amber Dawn and Baikal are dwarf female varieties, growing to 6-feet tall. Plant seaberry in full sun.
Cotoneaster franchettii
An old-fashioned shrub, this variety of cotoneaster blooms profusely in spring with pale pink flowers followed by orange berries beloved by birds. Hardy to USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5, it is semievergreen; it drops its leaves in a cold winter. It grows 8-feet tall in full sun or part shade.

Update: The Indians have sent 3B Jhonny Peralta to the Tigers for minor league pitcher Giovanni Soto. More on this tomorrow…
The Indians attempt to thwart Alex Rodriguez of his 600th home run once again, sending Fausto Carmona to the mound. Carmona has surrendered only 7 home runs on the season. He is a ground ball pitcher, which doesn't bode well for A-Rod. Beyond trying to keep Rodriguez sans-homer, The Indians are looking to take their second game of this series, and ensure at least a split. A win would be 4 straight for Carmona, and improve on the Tribe's 7-4 record since the All-Star break.
Interestingly enough, Carmona was the Indians only representative at the mid-summer classic but did not get to play. Alex Rodriguez was the only position player from the AL squad that did not get a chance to play. The two will be the center of the baseball universe for a couple of at-bats tonight.
Pitching for the Yankees will be A.J. Burnett, who is 8-8 with a 4.77 era. Carmona is 10-7 with a 3.51 era.
Fausto has been the subject of trade rumors this season, and those have not gone away. According to a Jayson Stark tweet, both Westbrook and Carmona are being shopped. Stark had an executive tell him he'd be "very surprised" if Carmona wasn't moved by the deadline.
Carmona is under contract for 2011, with club options for '12, '13 and '14.

Since there are still some people that think there has to be a rivalry between CF and CR, Paul Clark and I wanted to share letters to the community to help explain how we feel about the situation...
Hello Fanatics,
I asked Jeremy if I could share some comments with you via him and he has graciously agreed. I appreciate the opportunity to do so, thanks Jeremy.
Another discussion has flared up here in regards to premium recruiting information and I wanted to address the topic, hopefully once and for all, in the spirit of continued improved relations between the CF and CR web sites and communities. Recruiting coverage is the niche that CycloneReport.com and Rivals.com fill especially well and so its important for us to protect the investment of our subscribers and our business interests as much as possible. To not do so would just be negligent.
Jeremy and his team of moderators here have been doing a great job in watching for information that even has the appearance of being premium content from somewhere else. Theyve proactively contacted me several times through the past few months and it is very much appreciated. Its really not a problem any more from my perspective because Im confident they are going above and beyond to do all that is possible in this regard. You cant ask for more than that. At the end of the day, they cant moderate honesty and integrity.
The philosophical discussion about what information is premium and what is not and how it can or cannot be shared is still a lot more convoluted than it needs to be. Its really very simple and muddying the waters to create doubts about the black/white nature of the subject is disingenuous at best. If Ive reported something that can only be accessed by premium subscribers to my site or another site on the Rivals network, its cut and dried what is allowable. The user agreement that every subscriber signs off on spells out the terms and conditions of use quite explicitly. There is no gray area, there is no room for confusion. I cant expect non-subscribers to know those terms of use and some subscribers may not know them, either. But they do exist and they are always in force and there is no rationalization or justification that trumps their validity.
The reality is this: what is exclusive, premium information for subscribers only in the short term becomes common knowledge in the long term. Thats just how it works. But that does not give license to anyone to violate the terms of their user agreement with Rivals. Whether that is a subscriber posting premium info somewhere else, whether that is a subscriber hinting what the premium info is, whether that is a subscriber letting others use his account, whether that is a subscriber passing along info to friends via e-mail. All are forms of stealing, there is no other interpretation of it. If you see it differently, you are wrong, I dont know how else to put it.
If Iowa State gets a recruiting commitment and you have ways to get that information on your own and post it here, great, go for it! What objection could anyone possibly have to that? But if your ways involve accessing or obtaining premium information from CycloneReport.com in any way, dont go for it! Its really as simple as that. Let your conscience be your guide and if your conscience doesnt stop you, then really that becomes your problem and not mine or Jeremys or anyone elses.
Jeremy and I have each accepted responsibility for our part in past differences and weve buried all of that. Its ancient history. He and I are long past it; you should be, too. CF and CR serve the Cyclone community in different ways and its entirely up to fans to decide how they use one or both of the sites. I know CR is here to stay and I see no reason to think CF isnt here to stay as well. Cyclone Country is big enough for both so the days of any kind of spat between the two sites and communities are long gone. Were all going to be better off with a universal helping of forgive and forget all around because were all genuine Cyclones and that should count for a lot more than anything else.
Thank you.

The Foundation asks educators from the Murfreesboro City Schools System to submit short proposals for funding that will help them acquire technology or resources not ordinarily provided by taxpayer dollars. "We were all very pleased to see that at least one grant was approved for each school in the system. Because grants are submitted anonymously, they are judged solely on their merit. It is a testament to the entire system that all of the schools are represented this year", said Foundation chairman, David LaRoche.
The youngest school in the system, Overall Creek Elementary, was awarded $6,104 for a grant titled "Erasing Carbon Footprints via Lab Ecology." According to the grant writer, Rachel Everett, "As a fifth grade teacher I am helping to create a science lab rich in hand-on material that would allow all students the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature's bounty. A new lab is in need of basically everything – from test tubes, microscopes, stands with grow lights for plants, and safety equipment for the students."
This year, two grants were awarded that benefit children throughout the entire system. Gifted Services Coordinator Lea Bartch will receive funding for new "M3" mathematics teaching materials. Sheri Arnette, coordinator of teaching and learning, will receive a new set of "Read Aloud" books designed to teach and reinforce students' vocabulary.
The foundation will distribute approximately $50,000.00 in this round of grant approvals. The money was raised at the "Excellence in Education" dinner, honoring community volunteers Dr. Sidney and Elizabeth McPhee, as well as a celebrity fashion show, both held earlier this year
To date, the Foundation has awarded approximately $400,000 in parity and grants to teachers to enhance science, math and other programs. The City Schools Foundation is a private, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization. Chartered in 2005, the Foundation was created by volunteers from the community who wanted to supplement the resources available to the Murfreesboro City Schools System.

Washington County High School was the scene last week for the 2009 Commander Football Camp. WCHS head football Mark Perry and his staff instructed area youths age 8-13 in the basic fundamentals of offense and defense. While game strategy was discussed, some emphasis was also placed on getting into shape and building strength and endurance.

The softball field at Burg Park got its share of action this past weekend as several local teams gathered for a tournament to benefit the Washington County Relay for Life.
Finishing in first place was Buzzard Roost. Second place went to Sac and Sons Kentucky Wreckers. Rounding out the top three was Merchants Micken.
With a sunny sky and a comfortable temperature, it was a perfect day to be out on the diamond raising money for Relay.

As the last Little League baseball games are set to be played this Thursday, other leagues are just getting underway at Idle Hour Park in Springfield.
The 11-12-year-old Reds captured the league championship with wins over the Red Sox and Mets last week, finishing with an 8-2 record over the second-place Mets, who finished 5-5.
Things are still up for grabs in the 9-10-year-old league, where the Reds hold a one-game lead over the Cubs with two games remaining on each team's schedule.
The summer games
One of my favorite parts of summer is getting outdoors, doing some grilling, and most of all, enjoying my favorite summer activities.
One way to stay in shape or get some exercise is to simply toss a frisbee around a state park or setting up the lawn darts in the back yard.
What? Did he say lawn darts? Yes, I miss lawn darts!
Bethlehem High School will host a developing skills volleyball camp for girls entering grades 6-8 June 13, 14 and 20.
Registration deadline is June 10. Contact coach Bill Smith at (502) 424-6836 for more information.
A softball tournament will be held this weekend at Burg Park to benefit the Washington County Relay for Life.
Games start Friday night at 6 p.m. with play continuing on Saturday at 9 a.m.

In just his second season at the helm, Washington County head baseball coach Derek Schuler has led the Commanders to their first winning season since 2003. The Commanders finished 2009 with a 14-12 record, their best since going 15-12 six years ago.
Last year, WC went 10-18 in Schuler's first year as head coach.
The Commanders' season came to an end with a first-round loss to Nelson County in the 19th District Tournament.
A junior golf league for ages 10-16 will be held at Lincoln Homestead Golf Course beginning June 9 and lasting for five weeks. Play will take place every Tuesday and Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Washington County's Joe Joe Simms has been adding impressive honors to his resume lately. Recently, the 2009 grad of Washington County was named the 5th Region Baseball Player of the Year. A couple days later, he was named as one of the quarterbacks for the West team in the upcoming East vs. West All-Star Football Classic.
News first broke early last week that Simms was named 5th Region Baseball Player of the Year.
This time, it's personal
I moved to Springfield on June 19 last year, and before I even had a chance to unpack my bags and get settled into my new home, I was covering my first story for The Springfield Sun. That story was last year's Washington County Relay for Life, the signature event of the American Cancer Society.

This scent has a story worth repeating: on a hike in the mountains of Italy, Atelier Cologne founders Sylvie Ganter and Christopher Cervasel stumbled upon a rare flower known to locals as the Brunello. They had never smelled anything like it — there seemed to be a whole ambery bouquet contained within the single bloom. After returning home, they were inspired to create a scent that paid homage to their fragrant memory, and Ambre Nue was born. This highly concentrated Cologne Absolue — 18 percent, to be exact — is the latest addition to the Atelier line.
I love Atelier Cologne! The first scent that I sampled through this brand is the Rose Anonyme, and it was love at first smell. I was super excited about this scent, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. I absolutely adore earthy notes like myrrh and sandalwood, and this Ambre Nue fragrance incorporates floral notes to create an amazing bouquet of amber. If youre a fan of musk, this fragrance should be at the top of your list.5
I have to admit, in my December Birchbox, this and the dry shampoo were tied for things I was most excited to try. The story behind the scent was just too intriguing.
Out of the phial, the initial note is a fresh mandarin, over subtle amber. On the skin, the amber really warms up, with a hint of spice, and the mandarin is joined by a soft floral. It smells almost creamy. Myrrh seems to bridge between fruit and spice excellently.
After wearing for a while, the amber becomes a touch more powdery, and the mandarin goes slightly aquatic, though still carried quite well by the creamy jasmine.
Overall, this is a very comfortable scent to wear, I'd say fairly unisex. Not a lot of sillage, which I appreciate in my perfumes(if you can smell my perfume outside of a three foot radius, I've clearly applied too much). It also has a good wear length– four hours from a drop on my wrist, before it was pretty much faded to a memory of citrus.
If I wasn't already inundated with a small hoard of perfumes I adore, this would definitely be on my wishlist, and I will enjoy my sample. Okay, it may yet go on my wishlist, because it is just a lovely scent.

The Ridgefield School District will use the same search firm hired by Battle Ground Public Schools to find the district's next superintendent.
The school board Tuesday approved inking a deal with McPherson & Jacobson LLC, a firm based in Omaha, Neb., to find candidates to replace Superintendent Art Edgerly, who has announced his intention to retire at the end of the school year. Terms of the contract were not immediately available.
McPherson & Jacobson does business in Washington using local consultants. Those consultants are currently working for Battle Ground Public Schools to find a replacement for Shonny Bria, who retired during the spring after the school board agreed to pay her a buyout package totaling $401,715.
Edgerly announced his retirement and resignation at an Oct. 8 school board meeting. He has spent 33 years in public education, beginning his teaching career in the Battle Ground district.
He'll end his tenure as superintendent as the district completes construction on new facilities, which are set to open during the 2014-2015 school year. Following his resignation, Edgerly has said he plans to start a consulting firm with a partner.
At Tuesday's school board meeting, he voiced approval of the consultants who will look for his successor.
"This is a very good group," Edgerly said, adding that he had no input on the decision to hire them.
There's hope the search will run smoothly. Jeff Vigue, a school board member, said he'd been approached by a couple of potential candidates, "from neighboring districts," about the position.
Al Cohen, a McPherson & Jacobson consultant who's part of the search team in Ridgefield and Battle Ground, said he expects
the search to turn up qualified candidates.
The next step, he said, will be to meet with the school board on Dec. 3 to discuss the board members' initial criteria for a superintendent. The search will start in earnest in January, after the holidays.
A new superintendent would likely begin work by July 1, 2014, the same day as Battle Ground's, Cohen said. "The timeline we put forward will determine when the board would like to have that person be approved," he said.

Earlier today the intrepid High Voltage Software revealed another Wii title it has in the works. Gladiator A.D is a fighting game that takes place in Rome in ancient times.
A selection of Gladiators are available to choose from, each one has strengths/weaknesses, as well as unique attacks, weapons and a storyline throughout. Brutal in nature, things like decapitations and chopped off limbs are commonplace in the game.
Keen to avoid button mashing, HVS say the fighting will have a strategic element.
"You will need to study your opponent's weaknesses and think through your attack patterns to succeed in battle".
The Wiimote will be used to attack and defend, MotionPlus will be supported but not to a mandatory degree. Music is also being taken seriously, the game is being scored by a composer who has experience in making epic themes. Some sound clips are available to download:
There's no release date at this time and a publisher has not been announced, but the game is already seven months into development.

MADRAS, Ore. (AP) — With a conflagration declaration from the governor, more firefighters are battling a wildfire that has burned about 1,300 acres in central Oregon.
A state fire marshal's management team is operating from a fire station in Madras. A spokesman, Justin de Ruyter (duh-RY'-ter), says about 150 firefighters are on the scene Tuesday, with fire engines guarding about 15 or 20 homes that were threatened.
The Elk Fire broke out Monday afternoon near Madras and was spread by winds through grass and brush on private land and Bureau of Land Management property. De Ruyter says the cause remains under investigation.
No one has been injured. There's an unconfirmed report that an outbuilding burned, but no homes have been lost.
De Ruyter says crews hope to contain the fire by Tuesday night.

There is not enough time !hello Peeps ! As the title suggests there just isn't enough time in my day, week or months at the moment. I have so much to do with my full time job working for Unite the Union, teaching photography for HF Holidays and planning my wedding in January, I don't know if I'm coming or going to be quite honest. I have at least got my mum's estate all sorted, solicitors paid bank accounts closed trust set up and inheritance paid out to my brother and sisters. Even though my mum didn't live long enough to see us get married, she will be there in spirit and the money she left me has paid for the wedding, so thanks mum ! I have a new website that will be up and running shortly it's just in the final stages of completion, I will be my professional photography portal, for all my paid work which seems to be gathering pace but it seems that the more work I do the less time I spend here unfortunate as I love Deviant Art
Anyway that's enough waffle time for a 100 image feature !

"Kluang" Top 5 Page for this destination Keluang by l_joo
Keluang Travel Guide: 37 reviews and 84 photos
After Segamat trip, I decided to experience more old coffee shops, this time I come to Kluang. The railway station coffee shop (kopitiam) is another one on the top list, is a must for coffee addicts. Kluang is pronounced Kloo-aang, mid size town, majority Chinese in business, colorful walls and relax. I bypassed here many times but was never a coffee addict, prefer hot Chinese tea anytime. I drove from Kuala Lumpur, quick stop at Air Hitam for a meat-pau with hot tea and drove another 45 minutes to Kluang for this coffee at the railway station. When I arrived at Kluang, I simply stop my car to ask a man " where is the famous railway station coffee stall of Kluang? ". Following the direction he gave me and found the place immediately after 2 corners.
How to get to Kluang? You can take train (cost roughly RM23 from Kuala Lumpur) some 90km north of Singapore and about double the distance south of Kuala Lumpur, you can take bus or train or drive yourself, location is about right in the middle of Johor state. If you are driving on the north-south expressway, exit at Yong Peng or Simpang Renggam south, make sure you pay toll before exit, RM20++. To avoid paying toll, you can use the old road, is about twice the distance, scenic and more funs, you can snap as many photos as possible, for me, this is the happiness of visitng small towns while enjoying a cup of kopi and pau. Anyway, top main photo is a coffee powder factory in somewhere Kluang, second photo is the railway station coffee shop and the owner is looking at me in last photo, he was talking to me about the story of so many customers coming daily.....

LOS ANGELES - Senior Scott Davidson and freshman Josh Samuels each scored three goals to lead the No. 4 UCLA men's water polo team past No. 6 Loyola Marymount, 10-5, on Thursday afternoon in a non-conference match at LMU's Burns Recreation and Aquatics Center.
UCLA (13-5) led from the start against the host Lions (13-5), scoring two goals in each of the first two quarters. Davidson converted for the Bruins on a power-play with 4:37 to play in the opening quarter, before freshman Griffin White added UCLA's second goal of the afternoon at the 1:52 mark.
In the second quarter, junior Emilio Vieira scored on a 6-on-5 opportunity with 3:58 to play in the half. Samuels scored the first of his three goals on a five-meter penalty shot with 2:21 remaining in the quarter, handing UCLA a 4-0 cushion.
Loyola Marymount outscored UCLA by a 3-2 margin in the third quarter, trimming the Bruins' advantage to 6-3. In the final period, the Bruins added four goals to Loyola Marymount's two, handing UCLA a 10-4 victory.
Senior goalkeeper Chay Lapin made seven stops for the Bruins. Loyola Marymount's Andy Stevens finished with eight saves in the cage.
