Heart of the Prairie Days, Clarkfield's annual community celebration, is returning this year on May 31—June 1, to kick off the small-town summer festival scene in southwest Minnesota.
After a meeting last week, the Clarkfield Civic and Commerce organization, who annually organizes the civic celebration, put out a call for volunteers.
"We need people to help out to make Heart of the Prairie Days successful," said Jennifer Gilyard, the new manager at The Ink Spot who has stepped up to join the Clarkfield C&C and help organize Heart of the Prairie Days just a month after taking over management of the long-time Clarkfield business. "[Volunteers] need to sign up by May 1, 2013, [because] depending on volunteers, it will depend on what we will be able to offer as far as events."
The Clarkfield C&C has made it easy for volunteers to sign up this year by posting their volunteer sign-up online. To sign up to volunteer for Heart of the Prairie Days, those interested can go to http://vols.pt.JkehoC and choose the date, time and the event they want to volunteer for.
Volunteers can also sign-up by contacting committee leaders. Committee leaders are Jana Suckow (firstname.lastname@example.com) who will be leading the food stand volunteers, Tracie Fonkert (email@example.com) who will be leading the parade volunteers and Sue Fritz (firstname.lastname@example.com) who will be heading organization of the Clarkfield city-wide garage sale. Meanwhile, Gilyard (email@example.com) will be leading the volunteers in charge of the inflatable fun park that is expected to entertain area kids all weekend.
"We would like to do an activity on Friday night, but we understand there is [Yellow Medicine East's] graduation that night," said Gilyard. "If there is an interest for an activity, such as "Clarkfield's Got Talent" please contact David Werner at (320) 226-3038. We would need to find donations for a stage, a Master of Ceremonies, equipment and lighting."
Tentatively, the rough schedule for Heart of the Prairie Days begins Thursday, May 31 with city-wide garage sales, a food stand, bingo and one of the finest parades in the area. On Friday the garage sales, food stand and bingo all continue. Then on Saturday it's the big blow-out with a kiddie parade scheduled for 3 p.m., bouncy houses, a hog roast, beer gardens and—of course—the Saturday night street dance featuring Hicktown Mafia.

Peptic ulcers can be diagnosed using both x-ray and endoscopic examinations. Specialized blood, breath, and stool tests are used to identify the presence of
Helicobacter pylori
. Rectal examination and stool guaiac test can reveal whether you have a bleeding ulcer.
—This is an examination of the lining of your gastrointestinal tract. After sedation or numbing of the throat, a small tube with a light and camera on the end will be passed into your mouth, down your throat, and into your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Other instruments can be passed down through the endoscope to inspect the area, take biopsy samples, and treat any bleeding that is present.
Barium Swallow
/Upper GI X-ray Examination
—You will be asked to drink a chalky solution containing barium. This coats your digestive tract and helps ensure that x-ray images of your gastrointestinal tract are well detailed. Multiple x-rays are taken before, while, and after you drink the barium.
Blood Tests
—If you're suspected of having a peptic ulcer, you'll probably have a complete blood count to check for anemia. Anemia is common for an untreated bleeding ulcer. Rapid tests performed right in your doctor's office may also be used to identify the presence of
H. pylori
. Blood may also be sent to a laboratory to run more sophisticated tests that can confirm the presence of
H. pylori
Stool Tests for
H. Pylori
—A tiny sample of stool may be obtained through a rectal examination done in your doctor's office. The stool sample is tested for the presence of
H. pylori
This test can also be used to check for response to antibiotic treatment against
H. pylori
Breath Tests for
H. Pylori
—You'll be given a special drink, a capsule, or a pudding containing urea with carbon along with a special radioactive label. After this, you'll be asked to blow up a balloon or breathe into a bottle of water so that your breath can be collected. If your breath sample contains the radioactively labeled carbon dioxide, this indicates that you have an
H. Pylori
Stool Guaiac
—A small sample of stool may be obtained through a rectal examination, or after a bowel movement. It's smeared onto a little card, and several drops of a chemical are dropped onto the stool sample. This can reveal whether blood is present in your stool, which can be a sign of a bleeding ulcer.

Statement by the President on the Supreme Court Ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act released by the White House:
I applaud the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act. This was discrimination enshrined in law. It treated loving, committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people. The Supreme Court has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it. We are a people who declared that we are all created equal — and the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.
This ruling is a victory for couples who have long fought for equal treatment under the law; for children whose parents' marriages will now be recognized, rightly, as legitimate; for families that, at long last, will get the respect and protection they deserve; and for friends and supporters who have wanted nothing more than to see their loved ones treated fairly and have worked hard to persuade their nation to change for the better.
So we welcome today's decision, and I've directed the Attorney General to work with other members of my Cabinet to review all relevant federal statutes to ensure this decision, including its implications for Federal benefits and obligations, is implemented swiftly and smoothly.
On an issue as sensitive as this, knowing that Americans hold a wide range of views based on deeply held beliefs, maintaining our nation's commitment to religious freedom is also vital. How religious institutions define and consecrate marriage has always been up to those institutions. Nothing about this decision — which applies only to civil marriages — changes that.
The laws of our land are catching up to the fundamental truth that millions of Americans hold in our hearts: when all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free.

Long gaming sessions are excruciatingly hard and tiring. They often require a superhuman constitution to endure, but gamers beware, all that stress can lead to terrible things. One gamer in Fuzhou, China had a gaming marathon during the Chinese New Year and is now in the hospital.
Thirty-six year old IT administrator Xu Yi spent the better part of his weeklong vacation playing video games. According to the Straits Times, Xu's family said that he would game all night, sleep all day, and when he woke up in the evening he would go out drinking with his friends before going back to his games. They said Xu didn't exactly love exercise, but he was always in fairly good health—but after his prolonged gaming session, Xu suddenly started complaining about dizziness and a headache.
Xu had suffered a minor stroke. Luckily, he was at home with his family, and he was aware that something was wrong. Xu went to the hospital, where doctors took images of his brain and found that he had developed several cerebral hemorrhages. Since the problem was caught early, the doctors were able to help him. Unluckily, Xu should supposedly be able to go back to his gaming habits within a month's time.

Murrays wins Wimbledon, beats Djokovic in 3 sets
Published: Sunday, July 7, 2013 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 7, 2013 at 11:35 a.m.
LONDON — Andy Murray became the first British man in 77 years to win the Wimbledon title, beating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 in Sunday's final.
The last British man to win the Wimbledon title before Sunday was Fred Perry in 1936.
Murray, who lost to Roger Federer in last year's final, won his second major title after last year's U.S. Open.
Murray and Djokovic played each other in a Grand Slam final for third time in the last four majors, with Murray winning the U.S. Open and Djokovic taking this year's Australian Open.
Djokovic, the top-seeded Serb who won the 2011 title at the All England Club, had won the last three matches between the two and still holds an 11-8 head-to-head edge.

LIVERMORE -- The city is moving ahead with a plan to crack down on drug houses and labs in rental homes and apartments.
The City Council on Monday voted 4-1 to introduce the new law classifying properties used for illegal drug sales, storage and manufacture as public nuisances.
It would give the city attorney authority to take legal action against landlords who refuse to abate drug activities that affect a neighborhood's "quality of life" -- including eviction of the tenant, fines or property closure, at a judge's discretion.
"We need to be able to get these drug dealers out of our community," Mayor John Marchand said. "If you've got the right tool at the right time, it makes things a lot easier."
The action would be initiated by a referral from police. Following a drug arrest, the landlord would be notified and have 30 days to curb the behavior -- including evicting the tenants -- or provide a written response to the city disputing the accusations. If the police determine "an immediate threat to health, safety and welfare," the response time is reduced to 10 days.
Livermore police Chief Mike Harris said the ordinance would be a highly effective tool in uncommon cases when arrests alone don't solve the problem.
"Drug activity ... is detrimental, causes fear, disrupts the community and keeps people from enjoying a quality of life," he said.
Harris said police had issued 126 drug-related search warrants in the past year, and offered up two "egregious" examples of homes police had visited dozens of times in the past year.
Councilwoman Laureen Turner cast the lone dissenting vote, saying she supported the ordinance's intent, but she was concerned the language gives the city too much power.
"I have a tremendous problem with this triggering on an arrest and not a conviction," Turner said. "I strongly believe in innocent until proven guilty."
Harris said the ordinance, patterned after others in Los Angeles, Oakland and Modesto, would be used as a "last resort," adding that waiting for convictions could prolong drug activity.
The meeting drew close to 40 residents. The night's only public speaker, Livermore property manager Ken Bradley -- who handles more than 200 units in the Tri-Valley area -- accused the city of "authorizing a vigilante committee" targeted at landlords.
"It's not there to punish criminals, it's to go around the law when you haven't been able to convict somebody," Bradley said. "The law is already there to take the action that's needed."
Outside the council chambers, Bradley engaged in a spirited debate with North Livermore resident Rebecca Ferris, who said she has spent 30 years trying to break up drug houses in her neighborhood.
"The only thing that has changed anything is going after the landlords," she said. "I look at the ordinance as another tool. Give us all the tools we can get."
The council will make a final decision on the ordinance at its Oct. 28 meeting. If adopted, it would take effect 30 days later.

About the Book
The world's fastest-growing religion is also the most misunderstood in the West. In Islam in the Modern World, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, one of the world's leading experts on Islamic thought, explains why traditional Islam exists in tension with modern Western culture, while at the same time it is also opposed by many currents of Islamic "fundamentalism." Islam in the Modern World offers an inside look at this increasingly factious religion with increasing global relevance.

The originals live upstairs and the copies live on my cpu. I have been using PDVD to watch my movies but I would like to use the PS3 also.
The movies are backed up using slysoft anydvd and an image created. When using PDVD I mount the iso using vitual clone drive. The PS3 will not see my clone drives, only the external drives the movies are backed up to.
Is there anyway to watch these movies at this time?

As I sat watching the Bucs game, I heard the Philadelphia Eagles will be releasing Michael Vick. Why? He wants a contract of more than $50 million. This after the man was running a dog-fighting ring. What kind of an example does that set for those youths who play sports in high school and college? I played sports when I was younger. Why? Because I enjoyed the sport. Why should athletes make a salary 50 times higher than a brain surgeon who saves people's lives every day? May God help us all because it definitely shows where our society is headed.

SANTA CLARA -- Willow Glen's RJ McCune got the message at halftime Tuesday night because in the third quarter of the Central Coast Section Division II boys basketball semifinal against Los Altos he let his shot fly.
Three 3-pointers by the senior guard in the opening minutes of the second half gave Willow Glen the lead, and the Rams did not surrender it as they advanced to the final with a 59-57 victory at Santa Clara High.
Willow Glen, the fourth seed, will return to the gym Friday night to play third-seeded St. Francis for the title.
"I know I wasn't very good in the first half," McCune said. "But I just stayed focused, and my shot started falling. I just rode that momentum."
McCune led Willow Glen with 19 points, including 14 after halftime. Taylor Meeker added 18 points for the Rams.
"I shoot when I'm open, but our defense won that game," Meeker said. "Without our defense, we're not going to win many games. If we keep playing defense, we're going to be a tough team to beat."
After the teams played to a 26-26 tie through two quarters, Willow Glen opened the second half on a 13-5 run to take a 39-31 lead.
The Rams still led by nine points in the final two minutes before one last surge by No. 8 seed Los Altos, which reached the semifinal by stunning top-seeded Westmoor on Saturday.
"Seeing them play against Westmoor, they weren't going to quit," said Willow Glen coach Todd Meeker, Taylor's dad. "We've been telling (the team) since the playoffs, even in league, it's a four-quarter game. Nobody's going to die. No lead was safe."
Todd Meeker said one of the keys to the outcome was McCune's play in the second half.
"At halftime, I said he's shooting it fast, he's shooting too quick, should I get somebody else in there?" the coach said. "When he came out and hit the first two, I knew that he was back on. It was a good turnaround."
St. Francis 69, Leigh 55: St. Francis senior Khalid Johnson seemingly could not miss from beyond the 3-point arc in the first half as the Lancers built a double-digit lead on their way to a victory over second-seeded Leigh.
Johnson hit five 3-pointers and finished with 15 points -- all before halftime -- to lead St. Francis into the final.
"We live and die on 3-pointers," Johnson said. "Mike Lauck stepped up the last game with five 3s. I guess it was my turn tonight. We've had some of those games where we can't miss. When that's going, it's just like we feel unstoppable."
St. Francis won only four games during West Catholic League Athletic League play, falling well shot of what coach Mike Motil called the team's primary goal to win its league, but it has won two CCS games by double figures.
"It feels great to finally get some wins," Johnson said. "We're actually playing for something right now. We're playing for a CCS D-II championships, and Friday night we've got to bring it. We're playing against a good Willow Glen team."
For Leigh, it was a tough end to a season in which it contended for the Blossom Valley Athletic League Mount Hamilton Division regular-season title and won the BVAL tournament.
"It's definitely unforgettable," said Leigh senior Kimo Francisco, who had 13 points. "CCS champion or not, league champion or not, we're still one family, and that's what we can take out of this season."
Division IV: Corey Cilia scored 21 points to lead No. 4 seed Half Moon Bay past top-seeded Seaside 46-39 in a semifinal at Menlo School. Half Moon Bay advances to play Menlo, which defeated Palma 64-53, on Friday at Foothill College.

Alchemy Haiku to the rescue. One skein holds 325 yards of shimmery, ethereal goodness that serves as a perfect palette for Gina Wilde's colors. Shall we swatch?

At Half-Year Mark, 2007 is Second Warmest Year on Record
July 18, 2007
The period from January through June was the second warmest on record globally, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The average global temperature in the first half of 1998 was just 0.01 degrees Celsius higher than the average global temperature for the first half of this year, so the outcome for the year is far from certain. This is the hottest year so far on land, ranking a full 0.1 degrees Celsius above 2002, but that is being moderated by slightly cooler temperatures over the oceans. See the NOAA press release and the global analysis from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.

This update is incorrectly listed by AppFresh - I have updated TWICE now and it still tells my my version (which is now NEWER than AppFresh knows about) is 2 months out of date. Also, AppFresh can't seem to deal with A.B.C.D version numbers, at least with VUZE. My current (both meanings) version is 126.96.36.199 AppFresh says I 'only' have 4.3 and that 220.127.116.11 is the latest and I 'should upgrade'. Whatever - add to the IGNORE list I guess.
This used to be my go-to client until I found transmission. The interface is very cluttered and it's a total resource hog, so if you're just interested in your torrents, I recommend don't recommend this.
Good bittorrent soft!
I really hate the confusion vuze/azureus have caused by changing names. I especially hate being bombarded with media I'm not interested in. most of all, I hate the unnecessary and unwarranted (for azureus user, with a perfectly good set of prefs) UI changes. It took me over an hour to figure out how to get things back to a decent, informative, power-user UI.
It's still my mac torrent client of choice. Until I write my own... :)
+1 for merging vuze and azureus on iusethis. They're the same project, different versions.
I do not like the new Vuze Interface. I simply switch to the classic interface.
Vuze is simply the best feature-rich Bittorrent client out there.
Other clients like Transmission and uTorrent are faster but they pale in comparison when it comes to the features that come with Vuze.
Of course, the penalty for that is the system resources that Vuze uses.
No pain, No gain.
Good all around bittorrent client, faster than most out there for the mac.

The name Zudeo is apparently history. It's now known as Vuze.
The only thing I don't like about Zudeo is the WINDOWS Media DRM that's going to come on some of its content thanks to the BBC and others. They really need to get that IP issue sorted out in a way which doesn't treat Mac users as 2nd class citizens.

Weak - it appears that Amazon does not want to invest in a competitor's e-reader devices. No search either. Very basic.
Can I use it to organize (and view) my PDFs ?
As a comment on how to cite Kindle books, the answer is pretty simple and I think it makes sense perfect sense; when citing Kindle books, use direct quotation:
"An example direct quotation might be this:
One of the authorâs main points is that âpeople donât rise from nothingâ
(Gladwell, 2008, Chapter 1, Section 2, para. 5).
And thatâs how you cite material from a Kindle or e-book reader. Have you tried this out yet?"
Source: http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2009/09/how-do-i-cite-a-kindle.html
It shares with all Kindle readers a basic shortcoming for academic use: it doesn't show you the actual page numbers from the physical book. But other than that it seems ok - synchronizing annotations across devices is sweet.

I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis and a heel spur in left foot last year. The podiatrist prescribed multiple things since removing heel spur is not a recommended option. First he taped my foot weekly to keep arches up, tried non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (not sure if helped), ice and physical therapy. What really helped the most is stretching (flexing the foot) a lot. Heel drops off a step and also rolling bottom of foot on a frozen water bottle. I know it sounds crazy and hurts while doing it but definitely gives relief after. He also molded my feet for customer orthotics, which stay in my sneakers at all times.
As long as I remember to flex my foot to stretch before getting out of bed in the morning, I have no pain when I step down. Plus stretch daily.
Be sure and do self massage: while sitting here at the computer, have a tennis ball on the floor and roll your foot around on it. You can use any type of ball, but I recommend you start with a soft one, like a tennis ball, so you can get a good feel for how and where you have tightness in the plantar region.
Another exercise is to try and pick up a marble or golf ball with your toes and drop it in a cup.

I know this is an old thread, but if this advice can help anyone, it is worth the post. Too am overweight and suffered from Plantar Fasciitis and Heel spurs. It was so bad I couldn't walk in the mornings when I would get out of bed. I was getting Cortisone shots in my heal at the Dr. Office, not a fun thing. I was sent to a foot doctor who made molds of my very flat feet and made me custom orthotics for my shoes. The problem, they didn't help that much. Someone turned me on to a very inexpensive solution that has helped for over 7 years now. I use Phase IV orthotics that I order on line for about $20 a pair, I can keep a pair in 2 or 3 pair of shoes at a time and move them as I need to. They go by a different name now, but if you google Phase IV you will get them. I never go anywhere without them, they are in my work shoes, my running shoes, my snow boots, you name it. It takes about 2 weeks to get used to walking with them, feels like you are walking on a golf ball at first. But now, I can not live without them. I am pain free and have not had to go back for shots or even consider surgery which was being talked about.
With Christ all things are possible, so live life with no fears and no worries.

Thank you so much for responding. I forgot to look at my initial thread to see when I posted it but yes I'm still dealing with this pain daily. I almost gave up and had surgery but I decided to try and drop the weight and let it heal. This is so hard!!! I almost think I'm just meant to be fat. Back to the plantar...I have problems in both feet. One has a 2in vertical tear in my Achilles tendon and the other I have problems with plantar. Just like you two the doctor had me to get the orthotics, I was in the (air cast) for 8 weeks. I have a somewhat demanding job and I hate looking like a jacka$$ with that freakin boot. I so much desire to get back into shape so I can run again but I can't seem to get and stay consistent.

I am dealing with plantar fasciitis for more than a year now and I understood that treatment efficiency is very individual. If something works for one it may not work for the other. There are many treatment techniques that you can try. Did you try Taping? I have found it very useful. There are a few Taping techniques you can find in YouTube - just type "Plantar Fasciitis Taping" in YouTube search. Personally I found a very informative website in: http://www.plantar-fasciitis-elrofeet.com
Take care & Good luck
I have had PF for years and have a heel spur as well. I lost 60 lbs and it didn't help at all. I did the straussberg socks, I did cortisone shots, I did 2 months of NSAIDs.
What has helped is shoes with good arches and inserts (I use superfeet), never going barefoot. But I really saw improvement using a foot roller a few times a day. Since I started using it it's 100x better.
I bought mine thru Road Runner Sports but I've seen them at many different places.
shoes,shoes, shoes....also adjust your stride...go to a running store and have them tell u what kind of foot u have...then buy a good shoe...then adjust your stride...but now that u have it rest,rest,rest..stop running or walking switch to bike,swimming,gazelle machine, ....and the weight thing...cut out sugar,starches,fast food, this will be hard at first but give it 2 weeks and the body will clean itself..good luck
I'm a physical therapist and I frequently treat this problem. There's a relatively new treatment called ASTYM which has a documented success rate of 92%. I have been performing this technique for over 4 years and have been helping alot of people with this stubborn problem. You might want to check out their website and see if there is a certified therapist in your area. Good luck!

Car Bombs Kill at Least 60 at Baghdad Market (New York Times)
The intent of bombings such as this is clear: someone is trying to draw out the Shiite militias – specifically, the Mahdi Army militia of Moqtada al-Sadr, the only powerful armed faction in Iraq that maintains a quasi-independence from the Americans, the Iranians, the Ayatollah Sistani and the Maliki government.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki cannot simply attack the Mahdi Army directly as part of the "dazzling" surge he and the Bush Administration are putting on; that would be political suicide for Maliki, who still depends on Sadr's faction to keep his grip on the exceedingly poisoned chalice of the Green Zone government. Yet it has long been apparent that the Bushists now want to settle up with Sadr once and for all. Maliki is caught between these clashing rocks, serving two irreconcilable masters: the American conquerors, and the fundamentalist cleric who commands the loyalty of vast swathes of the Iraqi electorate, specifically the masses of poor Shiites. The only way Maliki could countenance a military move against Sadr is if it is taken out of his hands entirely – i.e., if the Americans are forced to respond to attacks from Mahdi units enraged by the current campaign of bombing.
Sadr, meanwhile, is playing the long game. He has announced that his people will "cooperate" with the government's security crackdown, giving Maliki the necessary cover to hold back on any moves against the Mahdi Army. Sadr knows what anyone with eyes can see: that those vast swathes of Shiites now loyal to him hold the nation's future in their hands. Whoever can win and maintain their respect and support will be the most powerful figure in Iraq, whatever office he does or does not hold.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
The only way this outcome will not hold true is if the Mahdi Army is wiped out on the battlefield, and a Saddam-like reign of terror decimates and cows the Shiites back into submission. Therefore it is in the interest of every faction in Iraq that would like to eliminate Sadr and his faction from the power equation to draw the Mahdi Army out of hiding now through extreme provocations.
Unnamed "American and Iraqi officials" tell the New York Times that the current wave of atrocities in the Shiite enclaves is likely the work of "Sunni militants" seeking to enflame sectarian tensions and undermine the government. And it may well be so. But if it so, then the Sunni militants and the Bush Faction have the same goal in the current operation: to provoke the Mahdi Army into action so it can then be destroyed by American forces.
(Here one cannot help but recall the Pentagon's plan to set up the "Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG)," designed to "infiltrate terrorist groups" and "stimulate" them into action, in order to flush them out and destroy them. The plan was first uncovered by William Arkin in 2002. For more, see Into the Dark: The Pentagon Plan to Foment Terrorism, and Ulster on the Euphrates: The Anglo-American Dirty War in Iraq.)
While the gasbags in the U.S. Senate dither over a toothless, meaningless "non-binding resolution" expressing some displeasure over one small aspect of George W. Bush's monstrous on-going war crime, there is very dirty business afoot in Baghdad. The "creative destruction" once hymned by the war's loudest cheerleaders has reached a such level of noxious murk that there is scarcely any way of knowing just who is behind what anymore – perhaps even the perpetrators themselves have no idea whose interests they are actually serving.
In this grim mephitic fog, only two facts are clear: Innocent people keep on dying – and war profiteers keep banking the loot.

anglosaxon nation -like england is th emain sposor of terrorism
october, 2002.
So according the the Guardian editorial on 2nd of Decemebr 2002 The british should try to topple, if they could have the power, the persons like daddam hussain, Dr. M. mahathir of malasia. Mr. Mugabe of Zimbawe, and Mr. Jacque Ciraque Of france. All of these people have one thinmg in common-they have all challneged the english bastardy and bully tactics . In fact their oppesition ot english intersts must make them heroes for the rest of world becasue entglish are the curse of this world and are real pestilence which should ebe eliminated. Remmeber when israel had bombed Iraques nuclear reactor in summer of 1981 days befor it going critical then it was the english media and their stooge english media who wre doing anti israeli propaganda along with Iraq-ofcourse at that time english thought that the only way to get ARAB MONEY WAS BY LICKING ARAB'S ARSE.- when america is kicking that arse then english like a hyena-that they are-have joined them. In fact english are actively sabotaging and spying european trade secrets-english are enemies not only of coloured population of the world but all other whites of Europe and of even america-english infiltration inside america has ensured that america foreign policy and even domestic policy is run for english benefit and small number of anglosaxonx(who are basically plumber class in america just like in england)-english is a race of pirates turned blumbers)That is why english have infiltrated media and hollywpood and are boring the rest of the world with their rubbish actors and actreess-who are more of whores than anything-that too ugly english whore. That is why though england does not produce anything worthwhile-may be infected beef?-it is still not under recession while japan .far east and whiole of europe has been made to live in prolonged recession by the english manipulation of stock market world bank and all unproductive financial transations.
The French prseident is right is demanding that britain give back to E. U. what it has been taking
unfairly for so long. After all it was never entitled to those money . Besides it has n=been britain who has been vociferous in wanting the enlargement of europe. The prupose why england wanted enlargement was basically to derail european integration and create a rift amonst partner states so that wiht the hepl of america braitain can As a pet dog of super=power(but never a power in itself though
propaganda would be about engand being some sort of power) this rubbish thirld rate country would terrorize and hopefully rule_as american proxy over other countries outside europe. In opther word england is harbouring an ambition of proxy empire(with american help_If it could do on its own then it owuld not have cared for america). tHAT ABITION OF enGLAND MUST BE CRUSHED.
eUROPE SHOULD DEMAND NOT ONLY MONEY BACK ABUT IF POSSIBLE SHOULD KICK ENGLAND OUT OF E.U.
eNGLAND IS ENNEMY OF NOT ONLY EUROPE BUT ALOS THE ALL OF THIRLD WORLD AND EVEN AMEIRCA. LOOK HOW RUBBISH ENGLISH PLUMBERS AND FOOTBALERSLAND UP SUSHY JOB IN HOLLYWOOD WHILE THE REST OF WORLD HAS TO GET VISA TO ENTER AMERICA AND WHILE MOST OF AMERICANS(WHO ARE NOT DESCENENDETS OF ANGLOSAXONS) HAVE TO FACE DISCRIMINATION.).
tHE SOONER THE WORLD REALIZE THIS AXIS OF EVIL(ENGLAND AND ANGLOSAXONS RACE) THAT SOONER IT CAN THWART THE EVIL DESIGN OF THIS ENGLISH-PIRATE TURNED SHOPKEEPRES TURNES PLUMBERS RACE).
25th october 2002
On the day chechnyan terrorists tokk hostage of 500 civilains in
A Moscow theatre, The headline of BBC was not about that but about sharp shooter terrorist being suppsedly caught in washington> In fact theis chechnyian news was fifth in item(including head line) . These days atlast the british media even say about chechnyian terrorist as terrorist otherwise 2 years ago they were always calling them freedom fighters(which they are -but that is another story). In fact the british media and england as a country had been actively supporting and giving material help to checnyaina terrorists9aided by cia and british spy and british media aswell).
If you lok at the report of british media then you realize the british involvemnt in terrorism by the chechnyian terrorists. When three multistory falts were wiped pout by terrorist in central Moscow a few years ago there was a gleee in british reprting and a criticism of later security arrangemnt by Russian forces in Moscow. ofcourse the british media would have been horrified and bar=king like a dog(which they are) if the Russians had decided to destory checknian civilians as the americans did in afganistan. Then you realize the humbug of british propaganda against terrorism-it is selective and meant to facilitate british infiltration in other countries, In fact the afganistan govet(after fall of Taliban) was oppsed to british tyroops (after all americans fought -what have british got?)presence in afgansitan-but armtwisting by british through american help ensures that rbtitish troops are there in afgansitan0they are forgeing infioltrators and thus should be eliminated(they have less legal reason to be in afgansitan than the soviets who had been primarily invited by the govt, of the day). the british involvemtn in international terrorism is not confined to agasnt Russian interset only.
When the kashmiris killed several Indian soldiers(regular phenomenon) the british paper(independent) blamed India for being a target of terrrism and not talking enough with what it called freedom fighters.(terminology changes according to british interts). Infact during the 80s when India was really relatively stable and srtongatlest the govet, was) then the british decided to destabilize India by sponsoring Sikh terrorismand taliban terorism aswell(agasnt INDIA AND AFGANSITAN). It is only when India has virtually been subjugated to look after british and american interst in economics and (with rteal weakening of india as military power) that the british decided to take supprt for terrrism somewhere else.
The whole world is being put under sieze by theis thrird rate power-england-a nation of plumbers(graduation from a nation of pirates turned shopkeepers) The modus operandi of english is by propaganda and spying through british media-paper, bbc and television-they have infiltrated american media and holly wood and are taking jobs from real americans too, They are real enemy of europe and are the main peple respnisnble for truning nations into thrild world and putting them down to status of thrirld world. Look ate how they destryed japansesw economy through manipulative stock market-while their market never crashes and their low life living in factory turned apartmnets-so ugly-never gets busted.
The world has to rise against this anglosaxon who are waging race war agasint all non anglosaxonas -, That evil can be defeated and eliminated -only people have to recognize real enemyaand then eliminate them.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, March 8, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The Richmond County Health Department confirmed Friday that a fox that bit a man in south Augusta last week tested positive for rabies. It all happened at a Waste Management Plant off Goshen Industrial Boulevard. Now, the Health Department is warning everyone in the area to avoid wild animals.
Friday made one week since the attack happened. A fox bit one man and chased another who was able to kill it.
"It's concerning because there are a lot of animals over in the community where I live, and if an animal rabid can come up and attack, it's going to attack," said Kathy Fuller, who works off Goshen Industrial Boulevard and lives with her two dogs just a few miles away.
It's also a scary thought for her coworker Justin Wallace, whose son goes to school right down the road because he says kids don't know to stay away.
"Oh look, let's go pet the fox," he said. "They don't know any better."
In this case, a rabid fox attacked a man at a business on Goshen Industrial. It's something Environmental Health County Manager Randy Wishard says is a clear sign something's wrong.
"They stay their distance when there's no health problems and whenever you get bit by a fox, there's something going on that has brought them into your environment, because normally they don't do that," Wishard said.
The place where it happened is surrounded by pretty dense woods. The Richmond County Health Department has now given out rabies notices to every business along Goshen Industrial.
"It is scary because, again, you have to be very cautious about that," Wishard said. "We see foxes in the city of Augusta, but it's in where you have some heavy woods or dense woods, you still have dens there."
They say to have all pets vaccinated for rabies and call in any unusual sightings.
"If they see any raccoons, foxes, avoid them [and] call animal services," Wishard said.
Even though Fuller's dogs have been vaccinated, she still has some fears.
"It's still scary because I'm not vaccinated against rabies," she said.
"The fact is if there's one, more than likely, there's more," Wallace said.
This is the first incident of rabies so far this year in Richmond County. They typically have one or two every year. Last year, they tested 19 animals and only one came back positive.
Wishard says the victim he won't contract rabies because he began a rabies serum last week right after the bite. Another point Wishard made is that in his 26 years with the county they have never seen multiple cases week after week in the same area.

Have you ever witnessed a miracle? I have, three times. Three children, three beautiful Miracles. I know your thinking yah yah yah children are miracles we get it you love your kids they are a miracle , etc. etc. etc. Really they have each defied the odds by making it here into this world. My children are the result of Hashem and only Hashem, because i was not suppose to have three children , i was not medically suppose to be able to have children at all, and the fact that i had three when doctors said i wouldn't, equals three wonderful beautiful miracles in my life. I am so lucky to have personally witnessed Hashem's handy work.
Miracles happen all the time. Maybe they are not sea splitting kind of miracles but more like little nudges from Hashem's hand. I have witnessed many of these nudges just by spending many hours on the playground as a parent and a teacher. How many times have i seen Hashem's hand brush the feather soft hair of a child as he runs past a swing that has miraculously missed the child's head by a millimeter.Im sorry, believe what you want but that is a Hashem nudge.
The examples like this are endless because as much as we think we control this world really everything in our lives is beautifully orchestrated by the one above. I try to remember this when i am running late and i pull onto the highway to only discover hours of traffic ahead of me. I try to remember this is part of the plan and Hashem didn't want me there on time. This way of thinking has brought a lot of Shalom to my life it has helped me with the largest and smallest of challenges. It really is a form of letting go, and i know first hand letting go is HARD.
On this Friday, Erev Shabbos, Chof Gimmel Iyar,May 27 2011, i personally witnessed a sea splitting miracle unfold right in front of my stunned eyes.
On this very day i sat with a close friend in a office of a top notch specialist at one of the finest hospitals in the world, and listened to this doctor tell me that my Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is no longer, and it has somehow miraculously turned into a very mild form of Lymphoma that is treatable with mild drugs and he is taking me off chemo. Let me say that again for all who might have missed it. I was told that my cancer has transformed and no longer needs chemo. Have you ever heard of that? Have you ever heard off someone being taken of chemo in thew middle of treatment because things have changed.I know i personally haven't.
I am sitting here writing this to you in shock i do not know if i should laugh, cry, celebrate, or second guess. All i know is on that very day i witnessed a miracle. Thank you Hashem for your earth shattering nudge, i truly needed it, again.

theme from the bottom was a nice opener. i wasn't yet familiar with this tune, but i took to it immediately. trey's solo here was very nice, and it set the tone for an outstanding first set. poor heart got the crowd hopping, and it worked very well before a nice tight ac/dc bag. the band was really tight on this one and petered out into tela. sticking with the gamehendge vibe they had going, they played a killer punch. i love these early/mid 90's punches. they seem to be a little bit more raw than the ones that would come later. then again, they don't have the longer funkier intro that would come later. this reba is glorious. the whole band plays brilliantly on this one. the whole first half of the first set was just flawless. strange design provides a quick breather for everyone. they moved away from the whole flawless thing on this rift. trey completely bones the lyrics on this one, and it might be one of the most severe flubs i've seen phish pull off. cavern seemed to close this one down, but they kicked down a bonus antelope to seal the deal. trey made up for his rift flub by absolutely ripping this antelope.
phish came out and belted a fine simple to kick up the jams in the second set. they weren't really doing extended jams out of this tune yet, but this version gives you a little idea of where this song would go in the next year. it works well going into a very trippy bowie. there were some mind left body teases floating around in this very intense bowie, which i didnt really notice at the show, but they sure did stand out when listening to it later. the middle part of this bowie is just awesome. gordo, fish, and page lay down a really spacey foundation, and trey just cuts right through it. very strong. the mango song is an inspired choice for a cool down song, and they executed it very well. in 95, loving cup was still somewhat of a rarity, so this was a nice little treat. sparkle was nice, quick, and uppity, before another killer 95 era yem. gordon, as always,has some very strong playing in this one, and after the tramps, trey and page really light up. this yem gives way to the now defunct acoustic army. not much to see here. i guess its better than caspian. then a rowdy little posssum closes down the second set at phish's deer creek show. this is a great possum, but there are so many great deer creek possums that i'm not sure that this even makes the top 3. '96, '98, and depending on my mood, maybe even '03 are deer creek possums that i like a touch better. after debuting aditl at redrocks a week + before, they brought back out for another ride here. it was, obviously, very well received.
overall, this was an excellent show. it gets overshadowed a bit by the cuyuhoga falls show, but this one should not be missed. as a first show, this was a great introduction to phish. there were a few rarities and a bunch of classics. very good show.

Augusta Regional is already full, and the other three area airports are getting ready to handle the rest. (WRDW-TV)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, April 2, 2013
LOUISVILLE, Ga. (WRDW) -- Augusta is busy preparing for its biggest event of the year -- The Masters. But 50 miles down the road, another city is getting ready for visitors, too.
"There's some people that do stay in Louisville and go to the Masters," Mayor Larry Morgan said.
About an hour from Augusta National, Louisville is a quiet town, but even it gets a little louder each year when the tournament swings through.
"The bed and breakfasts are, and the motel is usually full this time of year," Morgan said.
While they're used to people coming in by car, this year they're hoping to get some visitors in from the sky.
"We have plenty of room. We have fuel, and we have plenty of room. We could probably put maybe 40 planes in here," said Louisville City Supervisor Ken Hildebrant.
Last year, more than 2,000 planes landed around the CSRA for Masters Week. This year, airports are taking reservations to help with the load.
Augusta Regional is already full, and the other three area airports are getting ready to handle the rest.
Morgan says they can help.
"We have a 5,000-foot runway with a 100-foot width. That'll handle a whole lot of different kind of traffic," he said.
Besides the hospitality, the mayor says there's another perk of coming in to their airport.
"We got the best price right now," Morgan said.
"Our fuel, on average, is about 50 cents a gallon cheaper than the local airports around here," Hildebrant said.
For a town of 2,500, having a few extra visitors would help them, too.
"Without the Masters, I don't know what the economy would do around here. That's one of the biggest and best things in our area," Morgan said.
Morgan says they've got car rental services, and if they get enough interest, he would get a transit bus from the county to get people back and forth to the course.

News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- We have an exclusive look at a new hotel planned for downtown Augusta. But the fight over the Augusta Convention Center could make things difficult.
"We have spent the money to build this building to draw people in and now we are having to turn them away," said Augusta Marshal Steve Smith.
Smith can't believe a failed management deal just cost Augusta's new convention center a two-year contract with the Georgia Chiefs of Police Association.
"I was very disappointed. I have been a member of the Georgia Chiefs Association for 25 years," Smith said. "There is a little bit of pride in the chiefs that get to host this."
Smith is not the only one who's hopes were dashed.
"I am concerned," said Peggy Seigler with the Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau. "I would be lying if I said I wasn't."
Seigler says the impasse could be far reaching.
"And I happen to know somebody who bought a hotel on Broad Street and was waiting for this [TEE Center deal] to happen," Seigler said.
The old Regency Inn is set to become a new Holiday Inn Express. It would give the TEE Center visitors another place to stay.
"To make that a vibrant part of the community again would be excellent," Seigler said.
The commission just needs to approve the management deal with the Augusta Marriott ... or so the line goes.
"And I feel like they are holding a gun to us and we're having to make decisions," said Augusta Commissioner Joe Jackson.
Jackson says many commissioners feel like hostages in the negotiations.
"You create a crisis and then you blame the commission," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
The mayor pro tem is now suggesting dropping the Marriott and turning to the James Brown Arena managers to run the center on a possible temporary basis.
"If we have to turn to Global Spectrum, then that's a wise choice in my opinion," said Commissioner Joe Bowles.
Meanwhile, Smith is planning a road trip.
"My information is our conference will be held in Athens," Smith said.
So what next? Commissioners are trying to settle on a date for an emergency work session. They hope to meet in the next week.

Nasty weather has settled in on much of and Mississippi, with tornado watches in south and south Mississippi, and flash flood watches in southeast and much of north Mississippi.
The National Weather Service said bad weather is likely to stretch into Fat Tuesday in southeast . Jefferson Parish has canceled a Monday night parade.
In Jackson, Chad Entremont said storms south of I-20 were dumping a lot of rain, with nearly 3 inches by early afternoon near Vicksburg and 1 to 2 inches in Jackson. He said more rain is expected Monday and Tuesday.
Northwest was luckier. Meteorologist Matt Hemingway said that Sunday's rains ranged from 1 ½ to 2 inches, and were good for farmers, because it had been a dry February so far.

SAN JOSE -- A 4-year-old boy drowned at a community pool in a South San Jose mobile home park Friday evening, despite the efforts of a pair of young women who pulled him out and tried to save him, according to police and eyewitness reports.
Medical crews and officers were sent to the County Fair Mobile Estates at 270 Umbarger Road off Senter Road around 5:40 p.m. on reports that a child had been taken out of the pool and was nonresponsive. Michael Trinh was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said. No foul play is suspected.
Dianne Ranteia said her 23-year-old daughter and friend had just arrived at the pool when they saw a small boy beneath the water, at the bottom. They immediately pulled Trinh out and began performing CPR, Ranteia said.
"She doesn't know how to do it, but she's seen it done on TV," said Ranteia, who has lived at the park for a dozen years and couldn't recall another tragedy at the pool.
Ranteia's daughter told her that while some water came out of the child's mouth, he had already turned an abnormal color and she feared he was "already gone."
"They didn't know how long he had been down there," she said.
After medical crews arrived and took over, Ranteia said her daughter -- whom she would not name out of privacy concerns -- was hysterical, vomiting and crying.
"She's never seen anything like that before," she said.
Officials said Trinh did not live at the park, but has a relative who does. His family is from San Jose. Police did not say who he was at the pool with, but park residents said they saw a young boy there with what appeared to be his parents about 45 minutes before the tragedy struck.
It was not immediately known how many people were in the swimming area at the time.
Khoi Vo, who has lived at the park for more than 10 years, said he drove in right after Trinh was pulled out and saw a crowd around the lifeless boy as the young women attempted CPR.
He said he takes his 3-year-old son swimming at the pool, but makes a point of being extra vigilant.
"You have to stick with them," he said. "When you leave a kid alone, you never know what's going to happen."

SACRAMENTO - A Stockton man was sentenced Thursday to three years and five months in prison for conspiring to commit a robbery, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.
According to court documents, Ho Ly, 26, agreed to be the getaway driver in the robbery of a house in Stockton where he and the others in the conspiracy believed a large quantity of cocaine was stashed.
The case against Ly resulted from Operation Gideon IV, when ATF agents in conjunction with Stockton police targeted violent criminals and criminal organizations in Stockton.
All told, the operation charged 52 defendants with federal crimes, and the state is prosecuting 19 cases. Officers seized 84 firearms, 36 pounds of methamphetamine and 21 pounds of marijuana.

Days after the announcement that violent crimes are down in Stockton for 2013, the city experienced its fourth homicide of the year.
Five people were reported shot about 8 p.m. on Sunday in the 1800 block of East Sonora Street, and within an hour, one victim was pronounced dead.
The Stockton Police Department had no further details of the homicide to report late Sunday night, including the identities of the victims or suspects.
The department released numbers last week that show fewer violent crimes were committed during the first two months of 2013 than in the same period of 2012. In January and February of 2012, eight murders had occurred in Stockton. This year there were three.

Escape to Kep
Cambodian retreat features colonial ruins, cool highlands and fresh seafood
OK, so the famed ruins in Siem Reap, Cambodia, have the not-so-famous ruins in Kep beat. n By about 800 years and a few million visitors. n For most tourists, a visit to Cambodia means two or three days at Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom near the tourist town of Siem Reap. Then it's back to Bangkok or off to Ho Chi Minh City.
There's no question, the temples are truly remarkable — sights that will stay in your memory forever.
But Cambodia has more to offer than the Hindu- and Buddhist-inspired temples. There's the Third-World craziness of Phnom Penh, the beaches of Sihanoukville and our personal favorites, the ocean breezes and tranquillity of Kep on Cambodia's west coast.
Of the 3 million or so tourists who visit Cambodia annually, about half end up in Siem Reap. A relative handful make their way to the nation's extreme southwest (near the Vietnamese border) to visit Cambodia's smallest province.
While most tourists follow the marked path through the temples, a few of the more inquisitive visitors explore the old French villas that dot the Kep coast. They are carried back in time to the 1920s when the French built these mansions to escape the heat of Phnom Penh.
After visiting the Killing Fields, the Toul Sleng torture museum and Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, it's a refreshing getaway to hop on a bus for a five-hour trip to the coast. The $5 bus fare takes you far away from the crazy traffic, heat and pollution of Cambodia's bustling capital.
Your reward: ocean breezes, delicious food, panoramic views and long walks along the shore that might be interrupted when a monkey decides to dart from the jungle and entertain you for a while.
My wife Cris and I have been visiting Kep and neighboring Kampot for years, ever since we decided to start a small business that imported peppercorns from Kampot province. The money we make from Kampot pepper and other Cambodian products is donated back to various groups in Cambodia, including the Daughters of Cambodia, an organization that rescues young men and women from Phnom Penh's vicious sex trade and teaches them a skill.
Our frequent visits allow us to connect with old friends, discover new suppliers of Cambodian handicrafts and enjoy what this small, Southeast Asian nation has to offer.
Getting around
The first lesson: Buses are your friend.
The bus station in Phnom Penh can be a little intimidating. But things are a little more organized these days and they have actual marked spaces for the buses to park.
Simply buy a ticket at the station or any of the travel stores along the riverfront. The bus to Kep is one of the world's great bargains: a five-hour trip costs $5-$6.
Grab a tuk tuk — a motorbike-powered cart that serves as Phnom Penh's primary form of tourist transport — outside your hotel and show your driver the ticket to ensure you get to the right bus station.
The people who run the station seem to watch out a little for bewildered-looking foreign tourists; while most of the Cambodians look on with good-natured curiosity.
Most of the buses have a small sign in the front window announcing their destinations.
There's a stop halfway to buy fresh fruit, drinks or snacks.
When the bus drops you off in Kep there will be a dozen tuk tuk drivers waiting to take you to your hotel. They'll load your luggage and off you go.
Be forewarned, if you have a hotel up a hill you are likely to end up walking the last quarter mile or so because many of the tuk tuks don't have the power to get tourists and luggage up to the top.
The food
Kep is known for its Crab Market — 15 or so wooden restaurants built out over the Gulf of Thailand.
Their specialty is Kampot pepper crab, but they serve all kinds of seafood with some western dishes also on the menu. Dinner will run about $6. Surprisingly, some of the bigger places such as Kimly's have a large, reasonable priced wine list. A cold Angkor beer — brewed right up the coast — goes for a dollar or two.
It's a great place to watch the crab fishermen wade out into the ocean to empty their cages as the sun sets in brilliant shades of orange in the background.
In the mornings there's a small open-area market where vendors sell fresh fruit, souvenirs, grilled fish and — what else? — crabs.
Crumbling villas
In the 1920s, when Cambodia was part of French Indochina, the colonial rulers built art deco villas to get away from the city. In their day they must have been quite magnificent. Today, most are in ruins — the roofs gone, the tiles and fixtures plucked clean.
A few of the villas are occupied by squatters but most are empty and fascinating places to explore. Bullet holes and graffiti left over from the Khmer Rouge reign of terror in the late 1970s dot the walls.
The queen's residence along the road south of town welcomes tourists with an admission cost of $1. We explored for 45 minutes and took dozens of photos. Then the young lady living in the shell of the home explained that it was time for her to nurse her baby and we'd have to leave.
Some of the most opulent villas are just north of Kep at Bokor Hill Station and National Park. There's a nice new road leading up to Bokor, but there is a trade-off: A Chinese company built the road in order to bring gamblers to a new casino smack in the middle of the old French ruins.
Still the ruins — villas, a Catholic church, a casino — will take you back in time. The elevation of Bokor is almost 3,500 feet and when the fog allows it, the view is incredible. It's the only place we have been in Cambodia where we could have used a sweater.
Bokor was the backdrop of the 2002 Matt Dillon movie "City of Ghosts."
From Kep, it will cost about $25 a person to hire a car and driver to take you to the top. Stop in Kampot and pick up a picnic lunch.
Spicy stop
No visit to Kep and Kampot provinces would be complete without a trip to a pepper farm.
Celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain sings the praises of Kampot pepper. Says National Geographic Traveler: "Kampot pepper has highly advanced, lingering flavors that first register on the tip of the tongue and then expand to the back of the palate. It also has lingering hints of eucalyptus and fresh herbs."
The farms were all but wiped out by Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge during the nation's civil war in the 1970s and 1980s. Many of the farmers were forced to abandon their farms and grow rice. The farms withered and many of the farmers — along with as many as 2 million other Cambodians — died of disease, starvation, overwork or were just outright murdered.
The industry is making a comeback with some 125 families growing Kampot pepper today. Genuine Kampot pepper is certified organic, hand-picked and dried slowly in the tropical sun.
Take a tour of a farm, buy some small bags of the pepper to take home to friends then top off the day with a dinner of Kampot pepper crab at Kep Crab Market. Any tuk tuk driver will take you to the pepper-growing region.
If you go
•Dollars are the accepted currency in Cambodia. You'll get change in Cambodian riel (4,000 of them equal one U.S. dollar).
•There are many ATMs in Phnom Penh, a few in Kampot and none in Kep. They dispense U.S dollars.
•Most Cambodian tuk tuk drivers are good, hardworking guys. They are less aggressive than their Thai counterparts. Our rule of thumb: a trip across town, $2-$3; half a day, $15; a full day $30. While you shop or sightsee they will happily wait.
•Don't drink the water. Most big hotels and restaurants that cater to tourists are fine, but off the beaten path make sure to stick to bottled water.
•Lodging at a small guesthouse might go for $10 a night. Some of the fancy eco-lodges charge hundreds. The Veranda Natural Resort on the mountain overlooking the Gulf of Thailand is a solid choice.
•Koh Tonsay or Rabbit Island is a short boat ride from Kep. At one time, the island was used to rehabilitate criminals. Today, most tourists visit for a day (although there are some rustic bungalows). The water is warm, the snorkeling is OK and there are trails to explore the island. Food is available. A trip with snorkel gear will cost less than $10 a person.
•Kep Beach: The water is warm and the beach is rocky. Kep was the premier seaside getaway until it was eclipsed by Sihanoukville in the 1960s.
•Kampot city is a half-hour away by tuk tuk. It's located along Kampot River and there are numerous restaurants, guesthouses and bookstores. The central market is interesting and not as crazy as some of the big Phnom Penh markets.
For U-T readers
•To request a free tour of one of the larger Kampot pepper farms, drop an email to email@example.com.
•Mention this article to the folks at Rith Travel in the Kep Crab Market and they promised a 10 percent discount on any of the tours they offer.
•Rany is a reliable, easygoing, English-speaking tuk tuk driver who can be reached at 092 739 695. He'll take you to the pepper farms, the salt fields or Kampot city.
•For a tour of the Women's Handicraft and Development Center in rural Kep Province, call 092 701 895. You can watch the weavers at work and get a tour of their facility.

Justin Lowell has been hired as the new football coach at Valley Christian High in Dublin, Vikings athletic director Scott Babinat announced Thursday.
Lowell guided Northgate to the North Coast Section Division II quarterfinals in 2013 and the semifinals in 2012 during a successful six-year run, when he was credited with resurrecting the program.
He had a 36-31 overall mark, including three seasons with at least nine wins.
"It was an opportunity that was presented to me," Lowell said of his decision. "I wasn't searching. Northgate is a great place, a great community. We were able to build something that's really consistent there over the last few years. Valley Christian just seemed like an opportunity for me to do something in that community and build something that was kind of special."
Northgate athletic director Steve Chappell gave Lowell high marks.
"We're sad he's leaving," Chappell said. "He's a great guy. We're going to miss him as a teacher. We're going to miss him as a football coach. We're going to miss him as a friend. We wish him well. ... This is a great opportunity for him."
Lowell was hired to replace Jim Heal at Valley Christian. Heal guided the Vikings to a runner-up finish in the NCS Division V playoffs in 2013, the best finish in school history. The Vikings have made the playoffs in all five years of the young program's existence, including the first four under former coach John Parrella.
The talented 2013 squad boasted five seniors who signed on national signing day last week: Logan McHone, Theman Taylor, DeMaurier Blackwell, Vince Volpattii and Sean Flynn.
Northgate is just beginning the process of selecting a new football coach, Chappell said.
Lowell will hold fond memories of his time at Northgate.
"The administration at Northgate and the school there has been supportive of me and my family," he said. "Building the program will be missed. We'll miss the friendships that we've developed, but I think they'll be in good hands."
Lowell made a positive impact on and off the field
"A great guy and great coach," said Jon Campopiano, a former Northgate athletic director who took part in hiring Lowell at Northgate. "He helped the program mightily. Unparalleled success."
Campopiano, now the vice principal at Oak Grove Middle School in Concord, also praised Lowell's commitment to his players off the field.

Will Red Bull actually pay you to advertise for them? A Kansas woman contacted FactFinder 12 after seeing an ad on Craigslist.
The ad says you can earn $400 per week by carrying an advertisement on your car or bike for Red Bull energy drink, along with a phone number.
When she reached out to whoever listed the ad, she received an email detailing a "paid to drive" concept where Red Bull seeks out car owners over 18 years old to go about their normal driving routine - only with "Red bull Drink" plastered on their cars using vinyl decals (known as "auto wraps").
The email then asks for your name, address and other information about yourself. A follow up email states that a check for $1,850 will be mailed to you with instructions to cash the check, take out your first week's pay ($400), and give the rest to the detailer who will put the decals on your vehicle (the "detailer" is apparently chosen by the scammers).
FactFinder 12 checked with Red Bull about the offer. According to their website, these offers are "not authorized Red Bull representatives or programs". The company goes on to state that the offers may be an attempt to collect your personal information or money.

So, if you get an offer like this, don't fall for it...disregard it.
