It was easy to book our tickets on the internet. In Piraeus it was very easy to collect all the tickets at once for our trips with Blue Star Ferries. The ships are clean, luxurious and cozy. I will recommend Ferries in Greece to any friends who may be traveling to Greece. Thank you.

It was easy to book either by web or in person and many ships were available. The ships are clean, luxurious and spacy. The overall experience is positive. Much better than flying to appreciate the Cyclades islands !!!

I have booked for the first time 4 tickets from Piraeus to Naxos and back. Because of the hours and the good reputation we have chosen Blue Star Ferries. I have found it nice to find reviews about the companies. They give you an idea how the services are. The site was easy to use and the price all incl. was also given before you have to confirm. Because we will not have much time at Piraeus and we are traveling with children, I have asked to send the tickets at home (Belgium). This costed 25 euro more. They have send the tickets by DHL delivery. We gave the names of our neighbours and the tickets were delivered by DHL in person 3 days after I ordered them!

I have to say I was a little worried when I booked our ferry tickets online but was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was when we arrived at Pireas to find the offices and the ferry which was itself amazing. Thank you for this and next time we are in Greece we will be using your services again.

I am very satisfied of your services and all the contacts I had with Sophia and Daniela. Very kind, very nice. Like every year! Your website is clear and easy to use. When French friends of our go to Greece, we indicate them FerriesinGreece.com to organize their ferries trips! Our holidays (2 weeks end of september) have been wonderfull. We go every year to your beautifull country and descover a new island. This year Koufounissi (a paradise!) and Naxos on the returning trip to Athens. Please thank your team for us. Best regards till next year! Christine

Is the second year that I buy ferry tickets through FerriesinGreece.com and in both cases I was very satisfied. In particular, I liked the fact of being followed even after the purchase of tickets. For example this year I received from FerriesinGreece.com, one day in advance of the departure, two SMS saying that, due to bad sea conditions, my ship could be delayed or be canceled. And this when the local office of the shipping company did not know anything yet. Thank you for your service. No doubt that I will use it again next year if I can come again in Greece.

We are delighted with the service we received, especially when we received credits for unused ferry trips when we had to shorten our holiday because of ill-health.

We ordered ferry tickets (between Samos and Ikaria Islands) from home in Canada and they were waiting for us at our hotel in Samos. So easy, efficient and appreciated!
Written by: bernadette on: 11-10-2013
We book our ferry tickets with FerriesinGreece.com, for a trip to Naxos island. Everything was great, I received a confirmation email, and on departure day we pick up the tickets from the port, smooth and easy. Best services and best reservation system. Thank you for your support. See you next year in Greece.

The Novels of Charles Johnson
The neo—slave narratives of Charles Johnson must be understood in relationship to the culture of Ronald Reagan's America in which they were produced. Oxherding Tale (1982) and Middle Passage (1990) are narrated by characters caught up in slavery. Nonetheless, they represent their experience of that institution in such a way as to suggest crucial concerns with American society of the 1980s. Each text in some way considers the situation of the black family, the status of the black woman and the black man, philosophies of race, and the relationship of white intellectuals to black culture. At a time when the president himself was declaring that racism no longer existed as anything other than an individual aberration, Johnson constructed narratives that described the holocaustlike experience of slavery and that implicated current social practices in that history. The 1980s discursive constellation of hyperindividualism, greed, victim-blaming, and cultural exploitation was answered with stories not simply of victimization but also of agency, self-transcendence, black selfexpression, and construction of interracial families and communities. In each novel, the individual fails when she/he functions in isolation primarily for selfaggrandizement or even through racial pride. Thus, these works do not follow the pattern of Roots or even Jubilee in tracing the tale of the heroic black man or woman.
But it is equally false to argue that these works fall into a black nationalist narrative model. Though each work offers what might be considered an essentialist black image, those images are destroyed or transformed in the course of the story and a much more hybrid reality remains at the end. Both race and community are finally seen as necessarily constructed out of the experience of suffering, and all who suffer are potentially members of this community.

First of all, there's nothing Scandinavian about the content of this post. But if you're a new mom or know anyone expecting a baby, perhaps you'll still be interested in reading it. You see, being a new mom myself, I've put baking and cooking mostly on hold for the past couple of months while I've cared for and nurtured my new little boy. (Thanks to everyone who's brought meals to us!) However, I have managed to bake two batches of something called "lactation cookies"–one batch for me, another for a dear friend who just had a baby of her own.
Lactation cookies, by their name, don't sound very appetizing, so maybe I should rename them Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Meal-in-a-Cookie Cookies for New Moms. But that's a mouthful to say, especially when you're chewing your first bite of these delicious treats. They're packed with healthy ingredients such as oats, flax, and walnuts, but they taste just as good as any unhealthy cookie I've ever tasted. The batter itself isn't overly sweet, which makes it the perfect complement to the bright bursts of chocolate chips that come with every bite.
So, why are they called lactation cookies? The ingredients. Oats, flax, and brewer's yeast are believe to be galactagogues, things that help support lactation in nursing mothers. There are other recipes for lactation cookies out there, but this one actually has a relatively high proportion of oats and flax to sugar and flour. (Check out this link to learn about how these ingredients work.)
I think what I like best about these cookies is how they've come to my rescue on a number of occasions. As I've been learning how long it can take to get out of the house these days, I often run out of time to eat a proper meal. I've learned that keeping a bag of these cookies in the bathroom where I get ready for my day and another in the car ensure that I'll still manage to get something healthy to eat. (I can imagine someone out there telling me that a cookie is not a meal. I agree, but if there's a choice between going hungry and eating a cookie that's packed with oatmeal and flax, I'll eat the cookie.)
As I mentioned above, my dear friend is reveling in the joys–and adapting to the changes and challenges–of being a new mom. So I baked a batch of these cookies (recipe here) and included them in a gift basket for her, along with some other edible items that from my own recent experience I knew she would find helpful:
- Protein bars – When the cookies run out, she'll be glad she has these in her diaper bag
- A bottle of wine – She's excited to be able to have an occasional glass of red wine again–after she nurses, of course!
- Mother's Milk tea from Traditional Medicinals
And for her husband:
- A six-pack of beer
- Coffee – This shouldn't require an explanation
If you've ever had a baby, what else would you have appreciated in an edible gift basket?
Note: I drafted this toward the end of 2011 and am just getting around to taking photos and posting it. Thankfully I've been learning how to juggle cooking and baking with taking care of my baby, so you'll be seeing more posts soon!

Difference between revisions of "San Germán"
Latest revision as of 16:21, 5 October 2010
San Germán is a city in Puerto Rico. It's best known for its Spanish colonial architecture.
Get in[edit]
From San Juan, follow Autopista 52 (Expreso Luis A. Ferre) towards Ponce. At the PR-52 terminus, follow PR-2 for about 25 miles towards Mayaguez. Exit at the PR-122 / Casto Perez Ave. exit on PR-2.
Get around[edit]
There are limited transit options, but the central district is easily navigable on foot. Driving is difficult with lots of traffic in mid-day.
San Germán's main sight is its colonial architecture, all narrow, twisty alleyways and Spanish buildings in pastel colors, some crumbling, some newly repaired. The old city is centered around the leafy plazas of Parque de Santo Domingo and Plaza Francisco Mariano Quiñones.
San German is the gastronomic center of the area. Throughout the years, several restaurants have served both locals and visitors. Two restaurants, institutions in the town, are Mike's Steak House, with its famous churrasco, and Palermo Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant. Both have been open for more than 30 years.
Hotel Oasis , Quaint Bed & Breakfast located in the heart of town. #72 Luna Street.
Get out[edit]
If you've made it this far, don't miss the beaches of the southern coast.

|The Computing Trend that Will Change Everything
|Monday, 09 April 2012 11:37
The performance of computers has shown remarkable and steady growth, doubling every year and a half since the 1970s. What most folks don't know, however, is that the electrical efficiency of computing (the number of computations that can be completed per kilowatt-hour of electricity used) has also doubled every year and a half since the dawn of the computer age.
Laptops and mobile phones owe their existence to this trend, which has led to rapid reductions in the power consumed by battery-powered computing devices. The most important future effect is that the power needed to perform a task requiring a fixed number of computations will continue to fall by half every 1.5 years (or a factor of 100 every decade). As a result, even smaller and less power-intensive computing devices will proliferate, paving the way for new mobile computing and communications applications that vastly increase our ability to collect and use data in real time.
As one of many examples of what is becoming possible using ultra-low-power computing, consider the wireless no-battery sensors created by Joshua R. Smith of the University of Washington. These sensors harvest energy from stray television and radio signals and transmit data from a weather station to an indoor display every five seconds. They use so little power (50 microwatts, on average) that they don't need any other power source.
Harvesting background energy flows, including ambient light, motion, or heat, opens up the possibility of mobile sensors operating indefinitely with no external power source, and that means an explosion of available data. Mobile sensors expand the promise of what Erik Brynjolfsson, a professor of management at MIT calls "nanodata," or customized fine-grained data describing in detail the characteristics of individuals, transactions, and information flows.
How long can this trend continue? In 1985, the physicist Richard Feynman calculated that the energy efficiency of computers could improve over then-current levels by a factor of at least a hundred billion (1011), and our data indicate that the efficiency of computing devices progressed by only about a factor of 40,000 from 1985 to 2009. In other words, we've hardly begun to tap the full potential.
To put the matter concretely, if a modern-day MacBook Air operated at the energy efficiency of computers from 1991, its fully charged battery would last all of 2.5 seconds. Similarly, the world's fastest supercomputer, Japan's 10.5-petaflop Fujitsu K, currently draws an impressive 12.7 megawatts. That is enough to power a middle-sized town. But in theory, a machine equaling the K's calculating prowess would, inside of two decades, consume only as much electricity as a toaster oven. Today's laptops, in turn, will be matched by devices drawing only infinitesimal power.
The phenomenon identified here drives the energy efficiency of all silicon-based devices, but no one has yet determined whether the efficiency of data transmission—the energy cost to sensors of sending out wireless signals, for instance—progresses at comparable rates. Design choices about the speed of information transmittal, the frequency of communication, and the ways in which these devices reduce their power when not performing tasks all have a significant effect on the overall electricity use of mobile devices. But the effect of efficiency improvements in computing is to drive innovations in these other areas, because that's the only way to capture the full benefit of new computing and sensing technologies.
The long-term increase in the energy efficiency of computing (and the technologies it makes possible) will revolutionize how we collect and analyze data and how we use data to make better decisions. It will help the "Internet of things" become a reality—a development with profound implications for how businesses, and society generally, will develop in the decades ahead. It will enable us to control industrial processes with more precision, to assess the results of our actions quickly and effectively, and to rapidly reinvent our institutions and business models to reflect new realities. It will also help us move toward a more experimental approach to interacting with the world: we will be able to test our assumptions with real data in real time, and modify those assumptions as reality dictates.
Historically, the best computer scientists and chip designers focused on the cutting-edge problems of high-performance computing, and no doubt many will still be tempted to address those issues. But continuous progress in the energy efficiency of computing is now drawing top designers and engineers to tackle a new kind of problem—one defined by whole-system integrated design, elegant frugality in the use of electricity and the transmittal of data, and the real possibility of transforming humanity's relationship to the universe. I, for one, am delighted to see them take up that challenge.
Jonathan Koomey is an author, an entrepreneur, and a consulting professor at Stanford University. He is the author of Cold Cash, Cool Climate: Science-Based Advice for Ecological Entrepreneurs.
If the energy efficiency of computing continues its historical rate of change, it will increase by a factor of 100 over the next decade, with consequent improvements in mobile computing, sensors, and controls. What new applications and products could become possible with such a large efficiency improvement 10 years hence? What other innovations would be necessary in order for such technologies to be used more effectively?

"Punalu'u Black Sand Beach" Punalu'u Beach Tip by leafmcgowan
Punalu'u Beach, Hawaii (Big Island): 15 reviews and 37 photos
One of the most famous beaches on Big Island is the Punalu'u Black Sand Beach. It is the most expansive and accessible stretch of black sand beach on the island. Tourists from all over come here to see the sand, the sea turtles, and to snorkel/dive. Located right off Hwy 11, Ninole loop road off the entrance to Sea Mountain Resort, in the Puna district south of Hilo, between Pahala and na'alehu. Most famous for the Hawaiian Green Sea turtles that frequent the beach as much as the tourists. Endangered species - they are protected as much as the sand that is made of basalt and created by lava flowing into the ocean that explodes when it reaches the ocean and cools. Don't touch or disturb the turtles and take no sand. The waters are protected by the small cove embracing the beach. There is a large paved parking lot with full facilities. Swimming area is very rocky, best to be careful as it is dangerous grounds. Beach has alot of underground fresh water flowing into it which is very cold. Legends have it that the early inhabitants would dive underwater with a jug to get fresh water. Other local legends warn of taking the sand or the rocks from the beach - for if one does, they will be cursed by the Goddess Pele until it is returned. (Myth may have been generated by 30 year Park Service veteran Russ Apple who was restoring Hawaiian cultural resources in the parks) Evidence of shifts of the use of the beach area by indigenous peoples vary through time. Monumental architecture in forms of large heiau complexes (ritual centers) speak to the powers of na ali'i (chiefs) and the social stratification of the ancient Ka'u district. Camping is permitted at the Beach Park.
Address: Ka'u District
Directions: Punalu'u Beach is a few miles east of Na'alehu and west of Pahala and the Volcano National Park, on Highway 11. At Mile Marker 56, take the 'Black Sand Beach Road' to the Punalu'u Beach Park.

Not long after the bear made landfall just north of Saltwater State Park, Des Moines police received a rash of phone calls from residents nervous at...
Scott Fischbach had just raised the U.S. flag at the Point Robinson Lighthouse on Maury Island when he heard a splash.
Turning toward the water, he saw a startling sight: a young black bear in the water, heading straight from the eastern point of the island out into Puget Sound.
For days, the bear had been the talk of Vashon and Maury islands, as people caught occasional glimpses of the furry beast and grown-ups warned children not to wander into the woods.
Now, the bear is the talk of Des Moines and Kent, where it has been wandering since its two-mile swim across Puget Sound shipping lanes Friday morning.

Not long after the bear made landfall just north of Saltwater State Park, Des Moines police received a rash of phone calls from residents nervous at the sight of a bear strolling across streets and lawns.
"It didn't seem to be aggressive or anything — just wandered around," said Police Sgt. Bob Collins.
State Fish and Wildlife officers with a Karelian bear dog tried to track the bear, but the dog lost the scent.
Late Friday, residents saw the bear near the Saddlebrook Apartments. Saturday morning, it turned up at the South 272th Street Park-and-Ride off Interstate 5 before disappearing again.
If only the bear had followed the lighthouse caretaker's advice.
"I thought, 'What are you doing?' " Fischbach recalled. "I started calling out to the bear, saying, 'You don't want to do that.' He was heading for trouble over there because it's all built up."
It's not unheard of for the occasional bear to cross Colvos Passage from the Kitsap Peninsula to Vashon Island and back again. It is unheard of for one to cross Puget Sound.
But this bear seemed to know what it was doing; it picked the narrowest passage in that part of the Sound.
Fischbach called the Coast Guard. After they got over their initial disbelief, they told him, "You know, that bear is supposed to call for clearance with us before he does something."
The Coast Guard alerted the Des Moines police, who in turn called Fish and Wildlife. Fischbach watched the bear's hour-plus swim through a spotting scope. The bear turned around halfway across, reconsidered, and soldiered on.
No one knows exactly what prompted it to embark on its unique odyssey.
State wildlife officer Bruce Richards won't speculate on its motives. He just hopes either the bear can find its way back to the woods or that he and his colleagues can relocate it before it wanders onto I-5.
Police Sgt. Collins says it's the first bear he's seen in Des Moines — not counting the statues at the Brown Bear Car Wash.
Everyone's marveling at the bear's crossing of Puget Sound.
Says Fischbach, "I think he's an Olympian in training."

Let the End Times Roll
class=img_thumbleft>There are two big problems with global warming. One, dire warnings on the subject have been around so long that the American public has become hopelessly blaise on the subject; a lot of folks are happy to keep barreling down the highway in their Escalades in the hopes that a few more greenhouse emissions gases might just take the bite out of winter. Two, for those who aren't so blithe, it is all too easy to become fatalistic on the subject. As anyone whose barbeque or softball game has been rained out knows, you can't do a damn thing about the weather. Right?
In her remarkable three part series, The Climate of Man, New Yorker writer Elizabeth Kolbert paints such a compelling and detailed portrait of the impending changes coming to the globe that you can't help but wonder whether the evangelists are right about the imminent End Times.
Kolbert's series, now availabe on-line (part 1, 2, 3) is a must read for anyone interested in the topic. While generally grim in her assessments, Kolbert is not entirely without hope that some steps can be done to mitigate the problem--at least, if our leaders ever decide to take the issue seriously. Alarm, though, remains the dominant theme. One of the more disturbing passages thoroughly debunks the oft-invoked theory that a little warming might not be so bad:
In the context of ordinary life, a warming of 4.9, or even of 7.7, degrees may not seem like much to worry about; in the course of a normal summer's day, after all, air temperatures routinely rise by twenty degrees or more. Average global temperatures, however, have practically nothing to do with ordinary life. In the middle of the last glaciation, Manhattan, Boston, and Chicago were deep under ice, and sea levels were so low that Siberia and Alaska were connected by a land bridge nearly a thousand miles wide. At that point, average global temperatures were roughly ten degrees colder than they are today. Conversely, since our species evolved, average temperatures have never been much more than two or three degrees higher than they are right now.
Alas, the bad news keeps coming. Today's Washington Post reports that melting polar ice caps may spell doom for the arctic's top predator, the polar bear. Meanwhile, the Canadian Press relays the latest scientic findings showing that the average water temperatures in the North Atlantic hit record highs last year. It certainly would be nice, wouldn't it, if the country's richest, most polluting nation showed any inclination to do something about the looming crisis. That is, aside from funding research aimed at denying the problem.

I have just bought the ArduPilot Mega 2560 Full Kit... plus the Triple Axis Magnetometer HMC5883L. I should have it built over the weekend.. then i'm off to a my mates machine shop, and i'll make the splitter plate for the lower frame onto which i am going to fit the Ardupilot. the magnetometer i'll put on the tail as suggested. I am going to use my X-cell Razor 600E. For those that dont know its around the 50 size nitro heli.
Do i need to buy any other sensors i.e. the Sonar... i can fly a helicopter all day long but this is my first time flying one with stabilisation so any tips would be gratefully appreciated.
If this works well then i am going to try and use it on my x-cell gasser. i can get up to 20 minute flights with this. But i think for the time being a battery 600 is the way to go.
i'll post some pictures when i have it all together.

Hi Ravi, have you loaded the code directly from MP? or is it one you have loaded with Arduino
I use APM1.4 i dont have any experience with APM2 yet.
When you go through the setup process in CLI through MP have you setup up the HELI, can you see the servos moving?
hi malcolm, i have loaded code through mission planner and have done the setting through misison planner. i have selected heli NOT through CLI but through Heli tab of setup. no, servoes are not moving even after arming and in status tab there is no PWM OUT on servo channels. where as the PWM IN is dispalyed correctly in the misison planner according to the movement of sticks. i have also selected swash as CCPM. i think since full setup is given in mission planner so CLI mode is not required. but i do not know. this is my first setup with heli using APM2. i never tried it on APM1.
Go into the CLI in MP, Type "setup" then Type "heli", the servos should be working here with no input from the Stabilise functions, they are directly from your Transmitter. Give it a go.
If any of you guys have video of your heli tests then please post as there are so few.....
I think the Trad Heli would gain more interest if we could get some media..blog posts etc :)
Huh, looking at the code and my setup again, I just realized, I didn't make a mistake with the mag orientation. I did have it correct, and my compass problem had nothing to do with that.
Now I'm back in my basement, and the compass looks perfectly aligned. But when I was at the airfield last weekend, first time I've been there, it was a complete mess. I have no idea what's going on now??? Is it the vibrations, or does that field have a Bermuda Triangle effect? The heli yaw was a complete cluster-f&%$ and I noticed in the planner that the compass headings were all messed up. But I've changed nothing, and now it's perfect.
I need to check the tracking again since I had to replace the blade grip links, so I'll watch the MP HUD and see what it does when the motor is turning.
Well, FWIW, I just did a test in the basement and looked at the logs. My heli has a single 100A speed controller, running 33.6V and an 880kV motor, located about 8" from the aluminum cased APM. With engines off, it seems like there is a +/- 0.5° oscillation on the yaw output from the T-Log that is on a long period, about 5-10 seconds. I'm not sure if that is normal or not.
Just flew out the pack in front of the house. MUCH better rotor disk stability!!! Now I'm happy. Vibes were WAY down.
Were the vides due to the blade grips, that sounds pretty dangerous, what head speed you running?
No, not the blade grips, but the links. They were fine, but I broke one because I had a minor tipover and blade strike due to the compass issues I was having. Anyway, I've got genuine Align links too.
I think the vibes were due to the head dampers, not the links or the grips. I'm not sure why the problem cropped up suddenly as I had used them for a while with no problem. My guess is I was flying with CF blades which are stiff, and maybe worked ok with the soft dampers. But lately I've been using FG blades, less stiff, so maybe the dampers need to be harder to work. I'm not sure.
I also added the Align feathering shaft sleeve which should help.
It's slowly becoming an Align heli, and some may ask why not start with Align in the first place. Well, first I didn't want the Align electrics that they force you to buy, and second, most of the heli is still HK. Their aluminum parts are decent and very affordable. It's mostly just a few little things that aren't great, mostly the plastic parts (tail drive shaft, links, dampers, landing gear).
I think my head speed is around 1600-1800, a bit lowish, but I prefer to keep it down for efficiency sake, as long as I can maintain a good flight stability. Now it seems good.
I've been having mag trouble for quite some time now robert, i'm going to see martin At buildyourowndrone and get him to test mine next to a new one, its pretty handy for me to have him, only 25mins away.
I'll tell you how i get on.
What kind of trouble?
I Skyped with Randy last night because I can't figure out what's going on. The compass looks fine. But last night I had to hold in a bunch of right rudder to keep it from spinning. I don't know why, as I was using the same settings I used previously which had worked. I don't get it. The only thing that has changed is now my vibes are quite a bit lower. But it doesn't make any sense that that would cause the yaw system to get WORSE???
But, spring has arrived, and I'm going to be basking in the +10°C weather today! I'm going to try and fly with the latest from GIT, see what happens.
Mine does not spin Robert, its just off by a around 15 degrees north, turn it east/west and its off by 45 degrees, it may well be the mag, i hope so.

Now that lots of us have earned 50 extra Horseshoes for completing the 6 Resolution Missions (and if you have not or did not obtain yours--this is not the thread to go on); I am certain a few of us will be utilizing those additional HSs to attempt to finish the Horsepit Badge. I was speculating if anybody has had any fortune with finishing the badge (or as a minimum getting 11 points for the Horseshoe Hustler) and if so, here are a few questions:
- Did you achieve the "win" on your homestead or a fellow citizen's homestead?
- Did you observe what the climate was for that day? I have oftener speculated if you have an improved probability to strike the aim on non BREEZY days I am certain theres no relationship but I had to ask.
In general I think it is generally based on fortune and random algorithms but thanks for any imminent or observations you may have to present.

Beware the Chainsaw Meowth 0.o

...I wonder if anybody is even reading these. Anyways, I decided to read the "Poetry Guide" in the sticky part of the poetry section and pick one. In my old poetry threads, I have never done what I have decided to half-attempt. What I am half-attempting:
(dramatic music)
The sonnet may be the hardest form of poetry. Given I don't have that deep of a poetry vocabulary(ex. iambic perimeter, quatrain, etc.), I picked my criteria from the brief part I did understand:
-14 lines, 10 syllables each
-ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme scheme
-Also, sonnets tend to have a 'philosophical idea' or message within them as the guide stated. Given that this is my first time attempting one, and that I'm only going on a half-attempt for the first try(I left out some criteria...), I will probably not have an idea too philosophical.
A final note before I begin:
If anyone is reading this, tell me the rest of teh criteria in simple terms so I can try a rewrite. I need feedback before a second attempt!
Valentine's Day, hearts in a daze today
The big dance is happening tomorrow
For chocolates and hearts, guys have to pay
With money spent, love is your wallets foe
Girls desire a lovely teddy bear
Some people never get asked to the dance
If not asked, their hearts shall suffer despair
Boys stare at cute girls as if in a trance
Hearts are broken, relationships are born
Cupid has a busy job, spreading love
Girls want a new dress, one that is not worn
Plently of matches, Cupid makes above
The day of the dance finally arrives
Boys currently dancing with future wives
My Chainsaw Meowth is currently missing! If you have a lead or think you know something,
I am desperately searching, and I dread the possibility that I may never find him...
On a side note, if anybody can answer the following question right, then they get a mystery prize! *Must have a Gen V game to claim prize*
Question: What the heck did Jinora do in the finale?! I don't get it! I know 90% of you won't know what I'm talking about, but I need an answer!

A car that stalls when accelerating is cause by the following reasons, when car stalls during cold rainy mornings with a cold engine, the problem is moisture on a distributor cap.
As you may not aware, during the night, condensation forms on the inside of distributor cap because of cold and wet weather. This moisture allows electrical current inside the distributor cap that leads to engine misfiring, this is more severe when accelerating enough to cause the car to stall. However, the formation of moisture inside the distributor cap can be avoided by parking the car inside a garage for the night if you expect to have a wet weather during the night.
When the car stalling is gradually frequent as the first time it was happened, the possible cause is that the car is suffering from a vacuum leak. Vacuum leak often start out small and gradually becomes worst due to pressure inside the car engine.
The vacuum created in the car fuel system is one of the key factor in determining how much fuel the car engine will get, any leak in the car fuel system vacuum will affect the air/fuel mixture that enters the car engine combustion chambers, this will result to car stalling.
In this case you do not have any option but to bring the car to a reputable auto repair shop and ask the mechanic to check the car for a vacuum leak, particularly the EGR and the PCV valves, as this two items are often to be the source of vacuum leak.
When car stalling is not gradually become frequent over time and also occurred not only during cold wet weather, the only possible problem of the car is a bad throttle position. Fuel injected engines have a throttle position sensor, a device which measures how far a driver pressed the gas pedal and thus the throttle. The position sensor feeds the data to the engine computer that does the calculation the resulting data is used to determine precisely how much gas the fuel injection system should inject into the engine. If the throttle position sensor provides a wrong data to the engine computer it will adversely affect the injection of gas into the engine causing the car to stall when accelerating.
Bring the car to a reputable shop and ask the mechanic to check your car throttle position sensor and repair if necessary to avoid making the car stalls while accelerating.

A recent plodding column by The Enquirer's Krista Ramsey asked the red herring question in its headline, "So what if Tebow believes his audience is God?" Tebow, of course, refers to Tim Tebow, the quarterback for the Denver Broncos who has a tendency to dramatically kneel down on the gridiron, close his eyes and pray before games.
Tebow's showy, ultra-demonstrative displays have drawn some criticism. Although the player says he does it to honor God and get nonbelievers curious about his faith, many people counter the display is more about drawing attention to Tebow than to any divine entity or creed.
Even more than other media outlets grappling for market share, The Enquirer is obsessed with Internet hits. (At one time, some bonuses for editors were based on reaching quotas for web hits.) So, it wasn't too surprising that Ramsey rolled out a hackneyed "Christian as suffering martyr" theme in her Jan. 12 column. Surely, she knew it would be red meat for all the evangelical Christians in southwest Ohio that would be compelled to check out its content.
Ramsey couldn't understand why Tebow's prayers before the TV cameras disturbed so many.
"His faith is who the man is, even more than his ability to run the football or rally his team from a fourth-quarter deficit," Ramsey wrote. "The notion that anyone can simply segregate his religious beliefs — slice them off from the rest of his identity — is a patronizing thought. The idea that Tebow should do it because his beliefs make others uncomfortable is truly an arrogant one."
Ramsey, it seems, either has had an intimate conversation with Tebow or can somehow otherwise peer into his thoughts and judge him pure in mind and character. Praise be!
Readers probably shouldn't expect much insight from Ramsey. She is, after all, the same columnist who once wrote a gushy column commemorating Joe Deters and his 12 ½ years in office, making him the longest-serving Hamilton County prosecutor in history.
The clueless columnist completely misses the larger issues at play in the controversy over "Tebowing."
First, exactly what does Tebow pray for before the game? Is it for strength or safety, or for something more crass like a Broncos' victory? According to Ben McGrath's New Yorker profile, young Mr. Tebow might not be so selfless:
"That was a huge play," Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow said. Yes, there was the rookie linebacker making a clutch, overtime tackle of San Diego Chargers running back Mike Tolbert for a four-yard loss. The play forced the Chargers into a just-too-long 53-yard overtime field goal attempt that wound up off course.
Not that Tebow saw either play.
"I can't say I saw too much of it," Tebow said. "I was praying."
Praying for a miss?
"I might have said that," Tebow laughed. "Or maybe a block. Maybe all of it."
How inspiring.
Another point missed by Ramsey is whether such ostentatious displays are truly Christian. Here's what the Bible has to say about public prayer:
(Matthew 6:5-6)
5. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
So I ask, what if Tim Tebow were Muslim? How would our society react if during every interview, Tebow said "Insha'Allah" or "Allāhu Akbar" rather than thank his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?
… (A)s as Tebowmania makes its way into politics, sports, religion and the everyday life of the mainstream United States, it is important to think about how we approach religion in this country. How we approach religious freedom in this country. Do we accept freedom of religion, any religion? Or do we accept freedom of Christianity?

Hysterectomy via navel gains traction
Scripps surgeon, patients praise less invasive method; others say too little data to judge outcomes
The belly button is a new entry point for one of the most common surgeries among women.
A Scripps Health surgeon recently performed the region's first two robot-assisted hysterectomy surgeries that use a single incision in a patient's belly button for access.
The procedure is gaining traction nationwide because it creates fewer scars than other techniques, though debate continues about whether it yields meaningful health gains over other minimally invasive surgical techniques. Health providers also note that not every patient is a good fit for the belly-button surgery.
Heather Wilson of San Diego, one of the first two women to undergo the procedure locally, said her recovery has been quick.
"I stopped taking painkillers and I have zero pain," she said two days after her surgery. "The only discomfort I have is from the incision itself, and I'd say that feels like it would if you cut your finger."
Dr. Bobby Garg, an obstetrician and gynecologist, performed both procedures at Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest. He said a small incision in the belly button — off to one side or right down the middle — can provide enough room for a newly designed set of robotic tools, including a high-definition video camera, that allows him to perform a hysterectomy with no other external incisions.
A robot-assisted hysterectomy generally requires four incisions, one each for the robot's long thin arms tipped with a range of miniature surgical instruments from scalpels to grippers.
Garg said in addition to being small enough to fit through the belly button, the newest tools offer excellent dexterity, allowing him to make more accurate approaches to the multiple blood vessels linked to the uterus.
"You really end up doing a much more precise surgery and, when it's healed, the scar is often not visible," he said.
A hysterectomy, the surgical removal of a woman's uterus, is the second-most-common surgery among women after the Caesarean section. The operation is necessary in cases ranging from cancer to chronic pelvic pain.
Scripps is not the only health system in San Diego County to use the new technique. Doctors with Sharp HealthCare are scheduled to use belly button access for a hysterectomy this week. Sharp already uses the navel for access in some gallbladder surgeries.
But not everyone favors the belly-button method for hysterectomies.
Jacqueline Carr, a spokeswoman for the UC San Diego Health System, said the organization has performed other surgeries through the belly button — such as for kidney and obesity-related conditions — but has decided against that approach for the hysterectomy.
She cited a statement by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that recommends a different technique, one that enables a surgeon to remove the uterus through a small internal incision at the top of the vagina because it "is the least invasive and least expensive option." The university's health system uses this trans-vaginal method, Carr said.
Dr. Barbara Levy, vice president of health policy for the OB-GYN congress, said there is not much evidence that robot-assisted surgery for hysterectomy yields significantly better results than other types of minimally invasive surgery.
"The reality is, we have little or no data on the outcomes," Levy said. "It's doable with the equipment that they have, but whether it has any advantage for patients, I don't think we have adequate data to tell us yet."
Garg, the doctor who performed the two operations at Scripps Mercy, said he agrees that the vaginal technique can be a better option for some women.
"The vaginal method is fantastic, but it can't be done on everybody. It's the lowest-cost option, so when someone is a good candidate, we go for it," Garg said.

Nearly 200 kids participate in Landon Bos Bicycle Rodeo
NORFOLK - One of a parent's worst nightmares is that their child will come up missing. At the 6th Annual Landon Bos Memorial Bicycle Rodeo parents were able to pick up child DNA kits to use in they are lost or abducted. Children 12-and-under were also able to receive helmet fittings, have their bikes inspected, and learn about the rules of the road. Free bike licensing was also offered. Police Chief Bill Mizner said even though they don't go out looking for bikes that aren't licensed, it's still important to get it done as it mkes it easier for officers to identify the owners of bikes that are lost or stolen. For those who missed out on getting their bikes licensed for free, Mizner said that residents can still get that done at the city office for a fee. Nearly 200 kids took part. The Bike Rodeo is a memorial for 7-year-old Landon Bos, who died in 2007 as the result of a car/pedestrian accident.

'Gee Dad ... A Winchester!': Marketing Guns to the American Youth of Yore
In the wake of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, it seems grotesque. But gunmakers in the US used to advertise their deadly products directly to teenage boys, marketing them as the perfect Christmas present. And if the wife resisted, Winchester had the answer.
The living room is decorated for the holidays, an armchair is positioned invitingly in front of the fireplace and a glistening Christmas tree stands next to it. The presents, piled up on the shag carpeting under the tree, have already been unwrapped -- and are displayed prominently throughout the room. Pistols, rifles and ammunition. "Make this a Browning Christmas," reads the perky font above the photo.
In the wake of the recent school shooting in the US, the ads now seem like a macabre joke. Back in the 1950s, however, when they were printed, they hardly raised eyebrows. Indeed, many of those in the US who vehemently insist on their right to own guns were shaped by such ads when they were growing up. And they clearly show the nonchalance with which Americans then and, to a large degree, now approached weapons.
The Markham Air Rifle Company was particularly adept at selling its weapons. As early as the 1880s, the company introduced the first mass-produced air rifle. It was vastly profitable, and not just because of its simple construction. The company, based in Plymouth, Massachusetts, was particularly adept at marketing.
Business Training?
"The King Air Rifle gives a boy an air of manliness and power, makes him alert, self-confident, resolute. It starts in a natural way the training which in later years will make him a leader in the business world," the advertisement from 1905 reads. It shows two boys playing with guns.
The air rifle as a status symbol for young boys: It was Markham's competitor Plymouth Iron Windmill Company, later Daisy Company, which perfected the strategy, with an air rifle called "Daisy." The film "A Christmas Story" first hit the cinemas in the US in 1983 and quickly advanced to become a holiday classic. It's success can at least partially be explained by the fact that entire generations of men could identify with its protagonist, Ralphie, who grew up in Indiana in the 1940s. Ralphie wanted nothing for Christmas as bad as he did an "Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle."
Daisy Outdoor Products named its coveted "Red Ryder BB Gun" after a famous comic book super hero from the 1940's, a cowboy named Red Ryder. The comic book cowboy featured heavily in the advertising and the air rifle was modelled after Winchester rifles from old Western movies.
For many boys of that era, owning a Daisy Red Ryder was their greatest wish. The gun afforded them the hallowed combination of responsibility and adulthood. The BB gun is still in production and more than 10 million have been sold since Daisy started making them in 1938.
'You'll Shoot Your Eye Out'
Many kids who identified with Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" shared his dramatic fate. When they expressed their Christmas wish for a Red Ryder BB Gun, their desire was spurned with the warning, "You'll shoot your eye out!"
The original maker of Winchester guns understood the broad sentiment of fear shared by mothers and addressed it in their own advertising campaign directed towards fathers. The ad starts out, "Suppose you want to give a Winchester 22 to your 12-year old. But the wife says, 'It's too dangerous now. Wait till he's older.' What do you tell her?"
The ad then goes on to answer the question it poses:
"First, tell her exactly why you think a boy should learn to handle guns early. Tell her he may not get a chance later. And too many kids grow up thinking guns are toys. Tell her a boy's hankering to shoot and go hunting is perfectly normal. Something he's born with. A part of his American tradition . Tell her what it's like for a boy in the woods with a 22. Tracking his first rabbit. Outwitting a fox. Sitting very still under a squirrel tree. Tell her that state conservation programs even encourage hunting to help maintain the balance of nature. And the National Rifle Association conducts a shooting program to teach youngsters gun safety and sportsmanship and how to handle guns. Finally, tell her that when an oldtime hunter like you has a boy who wants to hunt, it's his obligation to teach him all he knows about guns, game and the ways of nature. And buy him a Winchester. And take him hunting. Why a Winchester? Because at Winchester we still believe 22's are real guns."
"Quick Kill is for the shot you've got to make when you don't have time to line up your sights," Colonel William Koob, 47, director of weapons at Fort Benning, is quoted as saying in the article. "When it's either kill or be killed."
The article compares the technique with the methods that young kids instinctively use when they play cowboys and Indians. The training program used, of all things, Daisy BB guns, the air rifle that so many little cowboys yearned for.

Whoa. This one fell through the cracks. It was reported on June 10th!
Apparently, 16 American security contractors working for Zapata Engineering in Iraq were mistakenly detained at Camp Fallujah for 72 hours.
From the AP:
[Detained contractor and ex-Marine, Matt] Raiche said guards intimidated the detainees with dogs, made them strip and told them to wear towels over their heads when they went to the restroom so insurgents in the facility would not recognize and harm them, Raiche said.
One of his colleagues was slammed to the ground by a guard, he said.
"His head bounced off the asphalt." Raiche said. "He told me he heard one guard say to another, `If he moves, let the dog loose.'"
Raiche said his colleague told him that a guard then reached down and "squeezed his testicles so hard he could barely move."
Umm…I don't really know what to say. If this is true, then why haven't we heard anything about it? True, we don't know the details from the other side, but that's because they're not saying anything.
The military has denied the contractors were abused. No charges have been filed against any of the contractors, who the military said were separated from suspected insurgents.
Again, why haven't I heard about this until now? I urge you to read the whole story.

Wild Crafted Sourced from its natural habitat.
For thousands of years, fats and oils have been important in India. In Sanskrit literature of about 500 BC, there is a specific reference to an oil-press. Linguistic evidence suggests that it is from the two crushing systems that presses oil seeds developed in the form of a mortar-and-pestle arrangement presently powered by machines. This system Is commonly called the ghani, or the kohlu.
Kachchi ghani refers to cold press extraction process for taking out oil from seeds. Traditionally, oil from seeds were extracted in kohlus (a wooden cold press used with the help of a cow). In this process, seeds are crushed at low temperature so natural properties, antioxidants and essential oils are retained in the oil.
We at Vedaliving believe in the term NATURAL. So the mortar of the kohlu is made up of the trunks of hard woods of Neem (Azadirachta Indica). The pestle is made of the trunk of Bibhitaki (Terminalia Belerica) tree trunk.
Flavor, which was traditionally an important attribute of all oils, and particularly of sesame, Bakuchi, mustard, coconut, groundnut, was best in oils produced from mild ghani crushing. Vedaliving boasts of keeping this tradition alive . Both storage quality and nutritive value are perceived as being high.
Since oils extracted through this method - called traditionally as kohlu extraction or ghani extraction are naturally sterile, problems of hygiene are unlikely. Also, during the process of extraction in ghani system, temperature remains as low as 45°C so negligible chances of oxidative and lipolytic deterioration is there.
Ghani cake is known to be exceptionally hard and dry and is not prone to mould infestation unless inadvertently wetted.
The only concern related to ghani processing is the running costs that are disproportionately high.
Since oxidative rancidity is the most likely kind of rancidity to affect oils, we at Vedaliving always store oils in bottles that are tightly capped. (A tightly capped bottle will help prevent your oil from being unnecessarily exposed to oxygen.) Once the oils are extracted, the containers open only at the next step of processing for further mochan process.
The next factors are heat and light. With respect to light, our best bet is to store oils in bottles made from darker (tinted) glass or virgin food grade quality plastic (usually dark brown or dark green). The room we store our oils is lightproof.
Ghani extracted oils of Vedaliving is rich in the presence of natural essential oils as it is extracted through cold pressing processes which retains the natural properties of their seeds in end product and gives positive health impacts. It is the moisture that promotes decay of the oil. Virtually moisture-free oils at Vedaliving has no such problem. It will retain its original freshness and flavor for months.

US stocks plunge, wiping out July's gains
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks had their worst one-day drop since February as traders worried about weak corporate earnings and the looming end of economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve.
The drop interrupted a prolonged advance in the market and erased its gains for July. It was only the second monthly loss for stocks this year, after January.
The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 317 points, or 1.9 percent, to close at 16,563 Thursday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 39 points, or 2 percent, to 1,930. The Nasdaq composite dropped 93 points, or 2.1 percent, to 4,369.
The S&P 500 closed at a record high just one week ago.
Whole Foods Market, Yum Brands and Exxon Mobil were among companies that fell after reporting results or forecasts that disappointed investors.

32 to 1: Youth and talent may not be enough for No. 12 Rams
St. Louis' roster is filled with emerging stars, but it will still be a challenge to make waves in the ultra-competitive NFC West.
NFL Roundtable: St. Louis Rams
The Rams finished at the bottom of their division, went 1-5 in the NFC West and ended the 2013 season with a 7-9 record. And yet they were one of the most feared teams in the NFL. That's the rub with playing in the NFL's best division. You can have one of the top defenses in the league and be a world beater on any given week and still fail to even compete for a playoff spot.
Rams fans hope the offense will catch up with the defense in 2014 and that their team can go from division basement dweller to Super Bowl contender in the third year of Jeff Fisher's St. Louis coaching tenure.
It's possible.
The Rams finished second in the league in sacks a season ago, led by end Robert Quinn's league-leading 19. Quinn and fellow end Chris Long make up one of the best edge rushing tandems in the NFL, and linebackers James Laurinaitis and Alec Ogletree each racked up more than 140 tackles a season ago. Across the board, the Rams, aided by a recent string of high draft picks (and the Robert Griffin III trade), are loaded with bright, young talent on defense.
The offense showed some flashes in 2013 but still has a long way to go before it's able to compete with the league's elite units. Prior to being lost for the season with a torn ACL after seven games, quarterback Sam Bradford was playing good football. His replacement, veteran Kellen Clemens, was more than competent and won more games than anticipated. Clemens is now in San Diego, but Bradford is expected to make a full recovery from the injury.

Rookie wide receivers Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey didn't make much of an impact until the second half of last season, long after Bradford was out of the lineup. There's hope that Austin, Bailey, Chris Givens, Austin Pettis and free-agent pickup Kenny Britt can form a serviceable wide receiver group. Each has shown flashes in spurts but none has put it all together. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer will look to get much more out of Austin, the 2013 eighth overall pick, in the 5-foot-7 game changer's second year as a pro.
Offensive tackle Greg Robinson and defensive tackle Aaron Donald, this year's first-round picks, could both be impact players from the start, and third-rounder Tre Mason should see some action in the backfield, spelling 2013 rookie standout Zac Stacy.
The talent and youth on this team is truly off the charts, but in a competitive NFC West, it'll take a breakout year from Bradford for St. Louis to emerge as a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
Executives Les Snead and Kevin Demoff have built a formidable team in St. Louis. After eight straight years of missing the playoffs and loading up on young talent, the Rams not only could, but should, compete for a postseason berth in 2014.

No hunters killed in 2012January 17,2013BENNINGTON Vermonts Department of Fish and Wildlife says no hunters were injured or killed while in the woods last year, the first time in four decades.
Chris Saunders of the department said 2010 had formerly been the lowest on record, with only two incidents.
Saunders said the three main injury types are when a hunter shoots someone else thinking they are game, shoots someone else while shooting at game, or shoots himself or another when the gun fires unintentionally.
The Bennington Banner reported that 1981 was the worst year for hunting injuries with a total of 27 incidents, one of them being fatal. The highest number of fatalities came in 1973, with four incidents out of a total of 18.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Many of Americas young adults appear to be in no hurry to move out of their old...

We are looking for enthusiastic people to volunteer with Operation Beaver in Northern Canadian aboriginal communities.
Assembly of First Nations
In Honour and Respect for Frontiers Foundation Founder Reverend Charles Catto
Aanii, Watchee, Bozhoo!
We are all saddened to learn of the passing of a good friend and an upstanding individual who truly cared about First Nations people. Charles leaves a memory and legacy built over decades of dedicated work in providing shelter and comfort to the vulnerable and forgotten.
The Assembly of First Nations enjoyed a positive and mutually supportive relationship with Charles and the Frontiers Foundation. Most recently, Frontiers Foundation assisted in a project that the Pikangikum Working Group/Friends of Pikangikum undertook to provide support to this community. Charles truly believed that things that needed to be done must be done and shall be done, that somehow someone will provide.
During February 3-5, 2014 the Assembly of First Nations sponsored The National First Nations Infrastructure and Tradeshow "Building for a Sustainable Future" at Toronto's Westin Harbour Castle Hotel. Frontiers Foundation Founding Director Charles Catto was invited by the AFN to give a 45 minute presentation (translated) featuring our national "Standing Tree to Standing Home" activity but also including our history, our educational and overseas profile addressing total community needs.
Opening prayer was led by Elder Gary Sault of the New Credit Mississauga First Nation, followed by our longtime friend Jimmy Dick's Drum and Song and welcomes from Mississauga's Chief Brian Laforme, Ontario Regional Chief Stan Beardy, and Bill Traverse (AFN Housing and Infrastructure).
In his opening address National Chief Shawn A-In-chut Atleo appreciatively recognized Frontiers Foundation.
FRONTIERS FOUNDATION / Operation Beaver WISHES YOU ALL THE BEST FOR 2014 WITH LOTS OF HAPPINESS AND MUCH SUCCESS.
Frontiers Foundation works with aboriginal communities to provide affordable housing and improvements in education.

This recipe creates the moisted, most tender chops you'll ever eat. Taste great red skin potatoes and your favorite vegetable or salad. Butterfly pork chops can also be used.
my husband liked this. i only had 4 pork chops, so it made way to much sour cream sauce.
Oh my gosh this was an awesome recipe. The pork chops were so tender. My husband loves mustard so this had just the right amount of the flavor. I will surely make this recipe at another time. It's going in my recipe folder right now!

text: The band wrote, rehearsed, and recorded all of the material for this release in a cottage perched at the bottom of a green, sheep-flecked and brook-bordered hill in the Scottish Lowlands over a period of ten days in August 2011. Recorded live with producer/engineer Oscar Cainer at the helm, this time around the sounds are dirtier, with the accordion and guitars plugged in and turned up, and the percussive booms and clangs emerging from deeper within the junkyard. The influence of old New Orleans, studio and street, is as hot as coffee from Cafe du Monde in tunes like Po' Boy, Erol the Turk, and Candlelight Lounge. Unafraid to journey out of the delta, the band hit it hard for the Cubanesque Cimarrón and recline with a hookah on the Moroccan flavoured Tamazight. The echoes of Highway 61 still purvey, from the Boubacar Traoré infused Death Don't Have No Mercy to the Cooder-esque Bunco Artist. But most of all the album captures the late night, sweaty, genre-hopping exuberance that has garnered the band a cult following.
