Taxis To S'pore
You can take the taxi at Kota Raya Bus/Taxi Terminal to S'pore for a comfortable journey because there's no need for you to get out and queue at the immigration counter.
If you charter the M'sian Taxi (yellow cab) you have to pay about RM40.00 and it will take you straight to Queen Street only.
If you chartered the S'pore cab it will take you to any destination in S'pore but the price will be in S'pore Dollars.
Taxi to Yisun will cost around SGD35.00 and to Tampines around SGD45.00.

Kota Raya Bus/Taxi Terminal
This is the picture of Kotaraya Bus/Taxi Terminal in J.B.
Daily buses from S'pore like 170, 160, Causeway Link etc. will stop here before proceed to Larkin Bus Terminal.
Taxis to S'pore are also available here.
You can go for sightseeing or shopping at the nearby location from here and if you are hungry there are also small 'Warung' nearby.
Senai Airport City lounge is also located at this place...Just around the corner!
It is much cheaper and faster to go to J.B by bus…Some people just walk across the causeway to J.B especially when there are heavy traffic jam.

Express Bus to JB from the North
One of the best way to get to Johor Bahru, whether from Penang, Ipoh, KL or Melaka, is to take the express bus.
There are different grades of buses with varying prices. You can different leg room and even your own personal video movie console. So check to have a look at the photo of the bus type, the number of seater, whether individual movie console and also where the bus will stop at.
Some smaller companies will stop at different towns to drop off passengers or even wait to pick up passengers. So go for direct buses from larger bus companies.
Note that there are two major bus stations. Larkin is for long distance destinations. Kotaraya is for local destinations. There is bus stop to get to Larkin in front of the Indian Temple side at Jalan Wong Ah Fook, opposite City Square.
Flying into JB - Senai International Airport
Have flown several times in JB using the Senai International airport. Airport code: JHB
There are two airlines, MAS (Malaysian Airlines) and budget airlines Air Asia.
The distance of the airport to downtown JB is about 30km. There is a regular bus shuttle from downtown JB to the airport.
If flying on MAS, you can buy another prepaid coach ticket at booking that will take from Senai to downtown Singapore without having to go to JB downtown.

Commuting between JB and Singapore.
Commuting between JB and Singapore daily is common. I do that when I am back home :-). Sometimes I feel like staying in the comfort with my parents, so I will take the bus to go home and commute to work in Singapore in the morning.
To get from JB to Singapore by road, you can either go via the causeway or the second link. Commuting via the causeway by public transport is more convenient and faster. There are a number of bus services to choose from - 160, 170, 950, CW1. Another mode is the train which will stop at Tanjong Pagar train station via the causeway.
How to get to Singapore from JB depends on which area are you staying in JB. Whether it is near the checkpoint or near Larkin? If you are staying near the checkpoint, go to the checkpoint to get the bus as it is faster. Pay in Ringgit at JB checkpoint. If you are staying near or beyond Larkin, go to Larkin to get your tickets as you pay in Ringgit (cheaper). The public buses to Singapore start running at 5.30am and end at midnight.
If you stay near Larkin, I would suggest you to go to Larkin, get a ticket and go on the Singapore-JB express coach. The coach go to Bugis on the Expressway with stops only at the checkpoints. When you arrive at the immigration, do remember to hurry through, cos if you miss the coach, you will have to wait quite long for it. The frequency is low at the very early hours of the morning or off-peak, perhaps half an hour one bus. During the peak hours, about 10 minutes for one bus, depending on the traffic condition too. When you reach Queen Street (the final destination in Singapore).

By train into JB
You can a train from Singapore into JB and northwards to Kuala Lumpur, Butterworth (Penang) and take another connecting train to Bangkok (Thailand).
Unfortunately, many sections of the railways are still single track and so train travel can be very slow - doubling the time taken by buses. Also due to reduced popularity, the train schedule is few and far apart.
But if you are a train enthusiast, why not.
Website: http://www.ktmb.com.my/
Flights from JB on MAS coming via Singapore.
If you are going to take the flight to other parts of Malaysia from JB on Malaysian Airlines, there's a coach provided by MAS that will bring you straight to Senai airport from Singapore via the second link. It is more pleasant to use the second link as it is less crowded. The coach will depart from Copthorne Orchid Singapore hotel, and you will need a valid onward flight ticket to be able to use this service. It cost SGD12 per journey per adult.
Conditions for using Coach service
- Coach is used in conjunction with MAS Designated flight out of Senai, or into Senai
- Passenger must have a confirmed ticket on the designated flight departing from Senai Airport (Johore), or arriving into Senai Airport (Johore)
- Passenger requiring special handling or medical case or unaccompanied minors cannot be accepted due no special facilities available on coach

By Causeway from Singapore
There are many bus shuttles between Singapore and JB.
Some coming from Singapore prefer to use a common taxi, you wait until there are 4 customers per taxi or you can charter your own taxi to cross to JB. Reason is that you do not have to get out of the taxi with your luggage in the taxi booth for inspection instead of standing in the long queue for all passengers for immigration and customs that travel by buses and have to handcarry their luggage from the buses at border checkpoint.
It is also possible to just walk along the causeway between Singapore and JB. You can see some people walking when there is a heavy jam on the causeway.
There are taxis/cabs everywhere in Johor Bahru. However, beware that before the taxi driver drives off to your destination, make sure the meter is being used. There are case when meter is not used and passengers pay a higher price for the ride. It is cheap and convenient and it is useful to take a taxi to a hrad-to-reach place.

Bus from Singapore to Johor Bahru
You can board a bus from Singapore (the bus terminal is near Bugis MRT) to Johor Bahru. It costs only SGD2++. If you do not want to join the crowds, you can board the taxi from the terminal to Johor Bahru too... If I can still remember, it costs ard SGD10 per person for the taxi? You can purchase the bus ticket back to Singapore from Johor Bahru. From there, you only pay RM2++ which is almost half the price of what you paid to get to Johor Bahru! :)

JB from Singapore - Public bus (Causeway).
There are several ways to get to JB from Singapore.
Take a SBS bus 170 from Queen Street, or along Bukit Timah Road. Alternatively, take the MRT to Kranji station and change to the 170 bus. Beware that the queue for the bus can be very very long during peak hours such as in the evening, and weekends, especially Friday evening and Saturday whole day. But most of the times, the bus service is very frequent, at least 1 bus every 5 minutes. The bus 170 will bring you to the Singapore immigration and you will have to get down through the immigration. Do remember to keep your ticket. You can board the bus again at the immigration then to the immigration and custom at Malaysia side. Still keep your ticket if you are going to Larkin, as you can board the bus after the custom check.
If you want to get to the main tourists sites or shopping sites, get a taxi. Beware of being charged more than usual. JB city center is just near the customs.
Get a Singapore-JB express from Queen Street. This bus will take the expressway non-stop to arrive at the Singapore immigration. Then you will have to get down to walk through the immigration. After that, go down the escalators and board the bus again to get to immigration and custom at the Malaysia side. Do remember to keep your ticket throughout the journey. You can board the bus again to get to Larkin. Take a taxi to wherever you wanna go if you are not going to Larkin.
Catch the MRT to Kranji station, then cross the overhead bridge to the bus stop opposite. From here you can catch a bus operated by Causeway Link, CW1 to Larkin bus station in JB.

JB from Singapore - Train.
You can get to JB from Singapore on the train. The train station that you can board is at Tanjung Pagar. To get to the train station, take an MRT to Tanjung Pagar, then walk from there.
You can also catch the train to Kuala Lumpur or other places in Malaysia from Tanjung Pagar.
At the train station, you will have to go through the Malaysian immigration and custom at Tanjung Pagar. Then, the train will proceed to the immigration at Woodlands (Singapore side). Then to JB train station. You might find it confusing or weird, but that's the system.
I will not suggest taking the train to JB cos it is faster by the public bus. I tried once, but never again.
To check out the prices and schedule, go to KTMB's website below.

JB to and from Kuala Lumpur.
There are many coaches that depart from Puduraya coach station in central of KL. It is a crowded place but there are numerous coach service daily to JB, about one every half hour throughout the day. You can go to the station and get your tickets on the spot, but not during the school holidays. All these coaches will take the North South Highway to zoom you to JB in 4 hours. There are super VIP, VIP, normal coach to choose from. Usually for the comfort, I will choose the super VIP coaches. The coaches will end at Larkin - JB main bus station. And also JB's central market.
Another option is to take PLUSLiner from the central train station in KL. For this, you should make prior reservation. This coach company also has coaches direct from KL to Singapore via the second link.

North-South Highway - Driving.
JB is the starting point of the North-South Highway at the South. This is a toll way and runs through Malaysia right to the border of Thailand. It is easy to get from place to place along the highway and there are many interesting small towns and cities to visit along the way if you have the time.
For more interesting journey and see more of rural Malaysia, take the normal roads from the South to North, though it will be much slower. Journey on the North South Highway is quite expensive.
Note the speed limit is 110km/h. Beware that there are many speed checks along the highway. The fine is hefty RM300 per offence of speeding.

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful
A Book of Inspiration and Magic,
This review is from: The Fire Starter Sessions: A Soulful + Practical Guide to Creating Success on Your Own Terms (Hardcover)
Danielle LaPorte is a tantric master.
Actually, I don't know that for a fact. But my experience of reading her new book, The Fire Starter Sessions, felt like a tantric exercise.
Let me s'plain (as Ricky Ricardo might have said).
Tantra is a Tibetan Buddhist path that invites the practitioner to go deep into the heart of desire, so deep that you transcend the suffering inducing attachment that usually goes along with desire. (In this context, this means desire of all kinds, not simply sexual desire.)
Instead, you come out the other end with pure gold, because you've touched into your true nature through the vehicle of your desire.
That's what this book will do for you.
Danielle writes that, "Happiness is creative tension." The whole book invites you to dive into one creative tension after another, as a way to get at the root of your unique genius.
The Fire Starter Sessions is organized into three parts: Mojo, Moxie, and Results. Each section has sessions that focus on things like "Visioneering," "The Metrics of Ease," and "Money: More is More, Enough is Plenty." There are powerful questions and worksheets throughout this book - you can't read the Fire Starter Sessions without having a lot of fun and getting fully engaged.
In these questions and exercises, Danielle will challenge you to:
* Approve of your weaknesses
* Remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be
* Choose "easy" (but the quality kind, not the cheap kind) and get out of your own way
And more...
If you already love Danielle LaPorte's writing on her blog, you probably don't need any convincing to get this book. If you don't know her work, you're in for a mind- and heart-opening experience.
And one last thing - this is a magic book, or at least it was for me. The first night I started to read it, I made it through the first 37 pages then put it down by my bedside and fell asleep. I had vivid dreams throughout the night, weaving in some of the most beloved people in my life. When I awoke, one phrase from my dream was crystal clear: The world needs you to radiate.
Read this book and remember your own capacity to radiate.

Valener announces that Gaz Métro has closed its private placement of senior secured notes
Published on Tuesday, 15 May 2012 18:48 Written by TradersHuddle Staff
MONTREAL, May 15, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - Valener Inc. ("Valener") (TSX: VNR) announced today that Gaz Métro inc. ("GMi") has completed its previously announced private placement of U.S.$260 million aggregate principal amount of 3.86% senior secured notes due 2022 and 5.06% senior secured notes due 2042 (together, the "Notes") to certain institutional investors in the United States and Canada. The Notes are secured by a guarantee as to payment of principal and interest by Gaz Métro Limited Partnership ("Gaz Métro"), together with collateral security backed by the assets of GMi and Gaz Métro.
Proceeds from the private placement will be loaned by GMi to Gaz Métro on substantially similar terms as to interest rate and maturity, and will be used by Gaz Métro to partially fund its acquisition of Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (NYSE-CV, "CVPS"). In the event that the CVPS acquisition does not occur, proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. The acquisition of CVPS was approved by a very strong majority of CVPS's common shareholders at a meeting held on September 29, 2011. The acquisition is also subject to the approval of U.S. federal and state regulators, and is expected to be completed by spring or summer of 2012.
The Notes have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
Overview of Valener, Gaz Métro and GMi
Valener owns an economic interest of approximately 29% in Gaz Métro. Valener therefore has a stake in the energy industry and benefits from Gaz Métro's diversified profile, both in terms of geography and business segment. Valener also owns an indirect interest of 24.5% in the wind power projects developed with Gaz Métro and Boralex inc. on the private lands of Séminaire de Québec. Valener may also pursue its own development projects and acquisition strategies subject to a non-competition agreement in favour of Gaz Métro and to applicable limitations under its credit facility. Valener's common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the "VNR" trading symbol. www.valener.com.
With over $3.8 billion in assets as at March 31, 2012, Gaz Métro is Quebec's leading natural gas distributor. Its more than 10,000-kilometre network serves 300 municipalities. Gaz Métro has operated in this regulated industry since 1957 and is the trusted energy provider of its customers in Quebec and Vermont, who choose natural gas for its competitive price, efficiency, comfort and environmental benefits. Gaz Métro is also present in the electricity distribution market, natural gas transportation and storage, and in the development of innovative energy projects such as wind power, natural gas as fuel for the transportation industry and biomethanation. Gaz Métro is committed to the satisfaction of its customers, its Partners (GMi and Valener), its employees and the communities it serves. www.gazmetro.com.
GMi mainly holds an economic interest of approximately 71% in Gaz Métro, for which it acts as the General Partner and a financing vehicle.

Football-loving neutrals across Britain face an agonising choice on Saturday afternoon: do I watch the FA Cup final, or the winner-takes-all La Liga title decider between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou?
The announcement that the Spanish finale would kick-off at 5pm on Saturday - just as Arsenal and Hull kick off at Wembley - prompted groans across the country from fans who have loved every minute of the best Liga title race in decades.
Because how can you turn your back on the FA Cup, which is itself one of those classic sporting showcases that seduces you into loving the sport in the first place?
Of course, if the FA had dug their heels in about making sure that the FA Cup final was still the 3pm, last game of the season that it always used to be in the old days, none of this would have been an issue.
But, unless you are a dyed-in-the-wool fan of one of the four sides in action, or have no access to Sky Sports, or one of the fortunate few who has several TV screens lying around, then Hobson's choice awaits.
We polled our team of sports writers to see what they'll be tuned into - take a look, and add your own choice/explanation in the comments box below.
- - -
Tom Adams (Twitter: @tomEurosport): I didn't grow up with the final day of the Liga season etched in my calendar. In 1991, as a football-obsessed eight-year-old, I wasn't reading about Barcelona's imminent coronation in Match magazine, or enjoying their final game of the season against Real Madrid on TV. I was captivated by Tottenham's 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest, Wembley's magic and majesty being transmitted across the airwaves, the unmistakable sense of a national event taking place. The FA Cup might have lost some of its allure, but it remains part of the fabric of the country and community which I grew up in. So I'll be watching the FA Cup final, though mostly because I'll be at Wembley reporting for work, and it'd be extremely unprofessional to sneakily follow events at Camp Nou on Sopcast while the game's going on.
Josh Hayward (Twitter: @JoshuaHayward99): I've always been particularly indecisive, but the thought of having to choose between watching the FA Cup final or the La Liga decider was almost enough to send me into a meltdown. Fortunately for me, though, my boss decided. I've been awarded the honour of covering the final of English football's most prestigious cup competition, though I'll certainly have one eye on Barca's clash with Atletico. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
Liam Happe (Twitter: @liamhappe): La Liga, a top flight many English fans narrow-mindedly write-off as 'boring' and 'nothing but Barcelona and Real Madrid', is about to be decided in a winner-takes-all showdown in which Atletico Madrid are the favourites, not a Clasico outfit. At the same time, the FA Cup final is on. The fixture which at one point was the centrepiece of the English football season has since been battered into the ground by an arrogant withdrawal, self-serving fixture switches and constant mockery of the people who obediently pump so much cash into every round of the competition. I may be English, but my freedom of choice means I make decisions for myself on merit – meaning Spain will surely win all day long - BUT, I too will be at Wembley along with Mr. Adams, meaning the evil (work) system has won again.
Dan Quarrell (Twitter: @Dan_Eurosport): There is no doubt that the Liga decider will see higher quality football from more talented players and that what is on the line is significantly more important. But I will still be primarily watching the FA Cup final in spite of all that because the FA Cup has always been a much-watch for my family, regardless of how far it is perceived to have fallen in the pecking order. With the Champions League final coming up soon I will enjoy one last fix of two Spanish sides going at it on the biggest stage, but first I am intrigued to find out if Arsenal really will contrive to stumble once again with silverware at stake. The fact that Arsene Wenger appears to have already declared that he will stay at the club makes it all the more critical that his side do not somehow manage to fail against a Hull side that have an improbable dream to chase. If the FA Cup final is decided early, well, that's what the remote control is for.
Alex Chick (Twitter: @alex_eurosport): I can't help but feel like I'm doing something dastardly, but it has to be Barcelona-Atleti. The Cup final meant more than any other match during my childhood, it's supposed to be the glorious culmination of the English season and a great televisual happening. So I'm going to feel the angry glares of Keith Houchen and Lawrie Sanchez, Des Lynam and Jimmy Hill as I spurn the faithful old FA Cup and enjoy a fling with the younger, sexier Latin lover next door. But honestly – a winner-takes-all Liga decider between two of the best teams in Europe? You'd be loco not to. It's up for grabs now...
Toby Keel (Still believes that Twitter is a noise made in the mornings by small, winged animals): The first time in my life I didn't bother watching the FA Cup final was 2008, the year Portsmouth played Cardiff. It felt like bunking off school, slightly naughty and cheeky while at the same time being a victimless crime. And best of all, there was, surprisingly, no guilt. I'd fully expected to be pestered by the demons of my FA Cup memories, stretching back to a hazy recollection of Everton v Watford in 1984, Ian Rush knocking over the camera in the goal in 1986, Gary Mabbutt's knee a year later, Dave Beasant's save the year after that, the Crystal Palace v Manchester United epic in 1990… you get the picture. These are fond childhood memories, like rose-tinted remembrances of the old local cinema that closed down. But this is the modern world: the new multiplex is far better than that crummy old flea pit ever was, just as Barcelona v Atletico Madrid in a head-to-head title decider is far better than Arsenal v Hull would ever be. The world's moved on – get over it. And yes, I realise the irony in that statement coming from the one of the only two people on this page who doesn't 'do' Twitter.
Sean Fay (NSFW Twitter: @Sean_Fay): My 10-year-old self would be appalled but I'll be watching the Liga decider and the decision is not even close. What made the FA Cup final so special in the past was that it was whole day of build-up followed by a live match – both of which were rare treats. Now we get that four of five times a week. The Liga decider on the other hand is a more significant, evenly matched game with much better talent on display. Final day title deciders like this barely ever come around but the FA Cup final will be back again next year – hopefully with a more exciting line-up than Arsenal and Hull. I'll keep an eye on goings on at Wembley of course but this weekend I'll be 'Living La Liga Loca.'
Reda Maher (Twitter: @Reda_Eurosport): Absolute no brainer for me. The FA Cup's decline was signalled by Manchester United's millennium decision to withdraw from it in favour of taking part a glorified FIFA friendly tournament, and has been hastened by the constant fielding of weakened teams by the Premier League's leading lights. While I have a soft spot for both clubs – on one hand having lived in North East London for half my adult life, on the other by sympathising with Ahmed Elmohammady and Gedo – it is clear to anyone who doesn't live in a UKIP-tinged bubble that the more important game is in Spain. I will be wearing my sponsorless 2004-05 Atletico shirt, but will not be eating a banana.
Marcus Foley (Twitter: @mmjfoley): Being an indecisive type, I refuse to make a decision. Therefore, I will put together some kind of dual screen concoction so that I can keep an eye on both. However, the practicalities of such an arrangement will render my attempts to watch– or, more pertinently, enjoy - either adequately redundant. Ludicrous I know. But, it would be completely remiss of me as a football supporter to miss a match of the scale of Barca-Atleti but, at the same time, lament Britain's showpiece fixture's waning allure and then sack it off - I feel honour bound to watch the FA Cup final; obliged by stubbornness. Of course, this sorry episode could have been avoided had the FA Cup final taken its rightful place at 15:00. I suppose things could be worse:
Disgrace that the final day of the Russian season, when 3 teams can win the title and 2 play each other, takes place at 6.30pm on a work day
— James Appell (@jamesappell) May 15, 2014
Desmond Kane (Despises Twitter due to the 140-character limit): How did it come to this? It is a question the frazzled organisers of the FA Cup must be asking when they study Saturday's football digest. The coast seemed clear a week after the Premier League concluded, and then along comes a pesky Liga decider in Spain to devalue a tournament already undermined by the television millions coursing through English football's upper tier. Unless you are a devout Arsenal fan or a haggard Hull City follower, you have to wonder what is the true value of the FA Cup? Arsene Wenger's Arsenal contest the final, but can't really win. The only way the FA Cup final becomes a story is if they lose to extend their nine-year run without a trophy. That would prompt widespread guffawing, but Barcelona's joust with Atletico Madrid is much more fascinating because an entire league season comes down to a solitary match. A league campaign settled on one game between two world-class sides is a true cup final. It would be interesting to see the viewing figures if both games were aired on terrestrial TV. But if you have access to Sky, you know which match will be bulging.
With things tied at five votes each, we needed a deciding vote. Step forward Eurosport editor/blogger Ben Snowball...
Ben Snowball (Twitter: @BenSnowball): Quit pretending the FA Cup is an exciting spectacle – the finals now blend in with the rest of the season and we haven't enjoyed an electrifying edition since Steven Gerrard walloped the ball past Shaka Hislop in 2006. The La Liga showdown is clearly the weekend's standout event as Atletico Madrid attempt to burst El Classico's bubble. But there's a problem with all of that: Arsenal are playing in the FA Cup final. I imagine I'll be happily watching events unfold in Spain when a text suddenly pops up on my phone proclaiming, "Arsenal are bottling it." At that point, who could refuse an invitation to switch channels and watch the Gunners' drought continue?
FA Cup final - 5 votes
La Liga decider - 6 votes

John Mark Karr's new lawyer is asking a Sonoma County, California, judge to hear his case on child porn charges as soon as possible.
Robert Amparan officially took over Karr's defense today and demanded a speedy trial within 30 days.
Karr was charged with five misdemeanor counts of possessing child pornography in April 2001, but fled Petaluma while awaiting trial. He remains jailed in Boulder, Colorado, where he was ruled out as a suspect last week in the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey.
Authorities have NOT said publicly when they will return Karr to Sonoma County.

DEARBORN, Mich. -- AAA Michigan says gasoline prices in the state have reached an all-time high.
The auto club announced Tuesday the average price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline is $4.22. That surpasses the previous record of $4.21, which was set on July 17, 2008.
AAA says the statewide average price is up 7 cents from Monday and is $1.32 higher than a year ago.
Of the cities it surveys, AAA Michigan says the cheapest price for self-serve unleaded fuel is in the Traverse City area, where it's $4.20 a gallon. The highest average can be found in the Marquette area at $4.25.
Dearborn-based AAA Michigan surveys 2,800 state gas stations daily.

Built on the same tried and true platform as the traditional ATAC series. These boots offer puncture, moisture, and toe protection for safety in harsh environments. Built with a CSA/ASTM certified composite safety toe, a puncture-resistant midsole board, a waterproof/breathable blood borne pathogen-resistant membrane, an oil- and slip- resistant outsole, side zip functionality for easy on and off, and a moisture-wicking, antibacterial lining, the ATAC Shield Boot keeps you mobile, secure, and comfortable at all times. In addition, these boots feature the 5.11 Shock Mitigation System® for maximum maneuverability and motion control.
I have wide feet and always have to buy size 11 shoes but I figured I would try the 10.5 wide and they fit like a glove! Super comfy, although I would recommend long socks that peak out the top of the boot for extra baddie around the lower calf to avoid chafing. That's not enough to lose a star though! I got a magnum flashlight for free with this purchase and it fits in the hidden pocket quite brilliantly. Best pair of boots I've owned!
I've been getting these as department issue since 2005. The last two years have shown a dramatic decline in quality. The last 2 pair have had issues with the liner coming apart from the boot. When you remove the boot, the liner comes out with your foot with only the stitching at the top of the boot keeping the liner from fully coming out of the boot. They used to rate a 5 now a two and thats being generous.
the shoe is all leather,not blend of denier. great shoe , except the details: the shoe is made with prone position built in, if you don't need that it will hurt your feet .found out to late.

So yesterday I took the time to update his blog. You can find the link in my siggy. Thanks for all the support girls.
It's been about 8 weeks
(((Hugs))) I can't even imagine how you are feeling. PO'd doesn't even come close to describing how I would feel.

ITA, unbelievable.
OMG I don't know if I will be able to look at that nurse when we go in the am! I forgot to put in the blog that when I called from the pedi's office she said to me "Oh I was going to return your call within the month" I was like WTF (I may have even said that to her) I said I talked to Dr Adamo and he said he wanted to see him in 2 weeks and that was a week ago already so I need him seen this week or at the longest next week!!" She was like well thats close. Well yea that's why she should have called me back last week, GURRRR. So I was like now it is not just him that wants the baby seen I am sitting in the pedi's office and they are telling me he needs to be seen NOW. She then had the nerve to say "Oh why, has something changed?" No jerk I took him to the pedi for fun, is what I wanted to say! I said "yes the pedi thinks he is having headaches and his balance and reflexes are all off" TO that she was like Oh I'll get him in let me look at what the Dr has open. Then she was like I have a 10:15 on friday if you want it. Why would I not want it???
Thanks for letting me vent. The Dr is awesome but having to deal with his nurse sucks!! I was told she is lots prego and a little scattred by a few other parents, when they have had to deal with her this month also. Ok I have prego brain also but come on if you can't do your job and kids lives are in your hands, your a Nero S's nurse then go on leave early!!!
Vent away girl! Prego brain is one thing, but putting kids lives in jeopardy because you can't function is a whole other thing. I totally agree she needs to go on leave. :bigarmhug: I'm sorry. I am glad you are getting him in though.
I'm sorry you've had to wait so long to have him seen. That is definitely unacceptable. I've been known to "fire" a doctor if he won't see my kids in a timely manner. Apnea is very scary and I know what kind of stress you are under. I hope you get some good news at the next appointment. Keep us posted!
My FB update yesterday was: Still on the fence on if the surgery is worth the risks. So I asked him if we did more testing would that give us any more info. Heath's last MRI was in Nov and was to rule out a twisted neck. Now that we know he has Chiari I asked him to do the CSF MRI, and a full spine to look for a syrinx or teathered cord. He said that yes we should do that ASAP and I should hear in the next two weeks when that is going to be.

Hounded by Trojan: DOS/Rovnix.D: How to Remove Trojan: DOS/Rovnix.D Permenantly?Published April 11th, 2013 by Elena Dove Reagan

Quick GuideBronchitis Symptoms and Treatments
What are the causes of chronic bronchitis?
There can be many causes of chronic bronchitis, but the main cause is cigarette smoke. Statistics from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggest that about 49% of smokers develop chronic bronchitis and 24% develop emphysema/COPD.
Many other inhaled irritants (for example, smog, industrial pollutants, and solvents) can also result in chronic bronchitis.
Viral and bacterial infections that result in acute bronchitis may lead to chronic bronchitis if people have repeated bouts with infectious agents.
Also, underlying disease processes (for example, asthma, cystic fibrosis, immunodeficiency, congestive heart failure, familial genetic predisposition to bronchitis, and congenital or acquired dilation of the bronchioles, known as bronchiectasis) may cause chronic bronchitis to develop, but these are infrequent causes compared to cigarette smoking.
What are the risk factors for chronic bronchitis?
The major risk factor for individuals to develop chronic bronchitis is tobacco smoking and second-hand tobacco smoke exposure. However, there are others, such as repeated exposure to pollutants (especially airborne materials such as ammonia, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, bromine, hydrogen sulfide), dust, repeated bouts of acute bronchitis orpneumonia, and gastric reflux (by inhalation of gastric contents).
What are the symptoms of chronic bronchitis?
The major symptoms of chronic bronchitis are as follows:
- Cough and sputum production are the most common symptoms. They usually last for at least 3 months and occur daily. The intensity of coughing and the amount and frequency of sputum production vary from patient to patient. Sputum may be clear, yellowish, greenish, or occasionally, blood-tinged. Since cigarette smoke is the most common cause for chronic bronchitis, it should not be surprising that the most common presentation is so called smoker's cough. This is characterized by a cough that tends to be worse upon arising and is often productive of discolored mucus in the early part of the day. As the day progresses, less mucus is produced.
- Dyspnea (shortness of breath) gradually increases with the severity of the disease. Usually, people with chronic bronchitis get short of breath with activity and begin coughing; dyspnea at rest usually signals that COPD or emphysema has developed.
- Wheezing (a coarse whistling sound produced when airways are partially obstructed) often occurs.
In addition, symptoms of fatigue, sore throat, muscle aches, nasal congestion, and headaches can accompany the major symptoms. Severe coughing may cause chest pain; cyanosis (bluish/grayish skin coloration) may develop in people with advanced COPD. Fever may indicate a secondary viral or bacterial lung infection. When symptoms worsen or become more frequent, this is often referred to as an exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. These exacerbations often require antibiotics, and may need steroid medication and an increase in respiratory inhaled medications.

Injunction for tenant who threatened to kill dogs
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Communities, Legal
Number of frontline police fallen by 1%
A social housing tenant who threatened to kill his neighbour's dogs has been hit with an injunction.
ALMO Salix Homes, which manages 8,500 homes across Central Salford, sought legal action against Carl Johnson, of Chancel Avenue, Ordsall, on the grounds of his threatening and abusive behaviour.
During a hearing at Manchester Civil Justice Centre on Monday, the court heard how Johnson, 27, made threats of violence towards a neighbour and also threatened to kill their dogs.
One victim said the incident had left them feeling extremely frightened for their safety.
Johnson failed to turn up to court and the judge granted a 12-month injunction order, with power of arrest, in his absence.
The conditions of the injunction prevent Johnson from harassing or using abusive, insulting and threatening behaviour towards his neighbours.
Sue Sutton, Salix chief executive, said: "Carl Johnson has caused a lot of fear and upset in the community with his abusive and threatening behaviour and we welcome the court's decision to grant an injunction Order in this case.
"Salix Homes takes community safety very seriously and we strive to make sure that our neighbourhoods are safe and secure places to live. We hope this case sends out a very clear message that this kind of anti-social and abusive behaviour will not be tolerated on our estates.
"I would urge anyone who is suffering from anti-social behaviour to come forward with information, so we can ensure our neighbourhoods remain safe places to live."

LG G Pro 2 Leak Shows Rear Key Design, Larger Body
LG only confirmed the G Pro 2 a few days ago, but that hasn't stopped purported images from hitting the Web. A Korean forum has posted a photo claiming to be the next-gen LG phablet, complete with the Rear Key controls seen on other flagships such as the G2 and G Flex.
The Korean website, DC Inside, didn't mention any additional details about the phone, such as its processor, display size or resolution. However, judging by the leaked image, the G Pro 2 appears to be wider and larger than the 5.5-inch LG Optimus G Pro. Rumors suggest that the new phone may sport a 6-inch 1080p display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and support for LTE-A networks, but this hasn't been confirmed.
We wouldn't be surprised to see features such as KnockON and QSlide turn up on the G Pro 2 since they've become standard for LG's recent smartphones. We expect to know more next month at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

first I would like to thank You for all Your work!!! Great stuff!
Now - I am testing this plugin on new MBP (but the same issue is visible on iPhone 4s). The web is: http://fotografie-realizaci.cz (Choice theme from Kriesi.at).
Strange thing happens - at least for me :-) Slideshow image first loads in high resolution, but than it falls back to low-res and gets blurry (after second or so). I tried both server and client ways, turned off responsiveness, debug mode (its ON now). Uploaded various resolutions, but its always the same.
When I open the image in new window it shows in high-res (and downloads as well), although the path shows low-res version (http://fotografie-realizaci.cz/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Homepage-3-990x600.jpg).
So...I am kind of lost here...what am I doing wrong?
Just to be clear - the logo is uploaded already in high-res and constrained with css (so no relation to the plugin).

#1 Consumer Comment
You bought "nonrefundable, non changeable" tickets
AUTHOR: Thomas - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 11, 2006POSTED: Friday, August 11, 2006
Orbitz and other bargain/low fare vendors only sell "nonrefundable, non changeable" tickets BECAUSE most people want the lowest possible fare. Didn't YOU want the lowest possible fare?
Most people do not stop to understand the difference between "nonrefundable, non changeable" tickets and "refundable and changeable" tickets. They only care about price, and usually they do not change their plans so it makes no diference.
The "refundable and changeable" tickets cost $40 to $50 EACH more than the "nonrefundable, non changeable" tickets cost. But that is $80 LESS than what they charge you to replace you present tickets.
If you wanted tickets that WERE "refundable and changeable", then those were the type of tickets you should have bought and PAID the EXTRA $40 -$50 FOR EACH. These tickets you must buy directly from the airline because if you priced tickets on Orbitz and Travelocity and one site were $50 a ticket higher than the other site, which site would you buy from? Silly question, no?.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

AUTHOR: Hugh - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 11, 2006POSTED: Friday, August 11, 2006
The airline holds those seats for you and then a week or two before travel, you call and bump your date out a couple of months. Then in a couple of months you call again and bump them out again. All this time you have tied up the airline's inventory and made it unavailable to sell.
These days, you buy it, you fly it. Or be prepared to pay a hefty fee to change it. The airlines are trying their best to manage their load factors and if everyone could just change flights on a whim for no charge then they could never fill the planes up enough to be profitable.

Convention (III) relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Geneva, 12 August 1949.
of 1960
This provision is new. It was introduced at the 1949 Diplomatic Conference after one delegation pointed out that, with the exception of orderlies, Article 44
dealt only with officers and prisoners of war with equivalent status (1).
What we have said in connection with paragraphs 1 and 3 of Article 44
therefore applies also, ' mutatis mutandis, ' to the present Article, which uses the same basic text. During the discussion it was suggested that the scope of the provision might be limited to noncommissioned officers, but one delegation then pointed out that in the navy, for instance, sailors could be of different grades without being non-commissioned officers (2). The Conference therefore approved a more general wording.
As regards supervision of the mess ("gestion" in the French text), the comments on Article 44
are applicable here also.

OVERVIEW AND COMPLEMENTARY REMARKS51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912900View Description Hide Description
Review of Sonic‐Boom Generation Theory and Prediction Methods51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912901View Description Hide Description
Within the past two decades, the combined contributions of scientists and engineers in this country and abroad have resulted in development of systematic and reliable methods for the prediction of sonic‐boom phenomena. The prediction techniques reviewed in the present paper permit the calculation of sonic booms produced by rather complex conventional supersonic aircraft designs performing level nonaccelerated flight in a quiet atmosphere. It has been found that the calculated characteristics for a quiet atmosphere are representative of nominal conditions in a statistical sense for a real atmosphere. Basic concepts of supersonic flow analysis, for representation of an airplane as a linear distribution of disturbances and for determination of the resultant pressure field complete with shocks, are outlined. Numerical techniques for implementation of the theory are discussed briefly, and examples of the correlation of theory with experimental data from wind tunnel and flight tests are presented. Special attention is given to presentation of a simplified method for rapid "first‐cut" estimation of farfield bow‐shock overpressure. Finally, some problems encountered in attempts at applying the prediction techniques for the nearfield at high supersonic Mach numbers are recognized, and the need for further refinement of present techniques or the development of new systems is discussed.
Sonic‐Boom Minimization51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912902View Description Hide Description
There have been many attempts to reduce or eliminate the sonic boom. Such attempts fall into two categories: (1) aerodynamic minimization and (2) exotic configurations. In the first category changes in the entropy and the Bernoulli constant are neglected and equivalent body shapes required to minimize the overpressure, the shock pressure rise and the impulse are deduced. These results include the beneficial effects of atmospheric stratification. In the second category, the effective length of the aircraft is increased or its base area decreased by modifying the Bernoulli constant a significant fraction of the flow past the aircraft. A figure of merit is introduced which makes it possible to judge the effectiveness of the latter schemes.
Sonic‐Boom Propagation through a Stratified Atmosphere51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912903View Description Hide Description
The evolution of the sonic‐boom signature from a supersonic aircraft is discussed and treated. This treatment is the basis for a general algorithm and computer program for sonic‐boom prediction in a stratified atmosphere with steady winds. The treatment is based upon geometric acoustics with calculation of nonlinear distortion, and takes arbitrary maneuvers of the aircraft into account.
Effects of Atmospheric Irregularities on Sonic‐Boom Propagation51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912904View Description Hide Description
A review is given of information obtained in recent years concerning the effects on sonic‐boom signatures of departures of the atmosphere from a perfectly stratified time invariant model. These effects include the observed random variations in boom overpressures from those expected for a stratified atmosphere, the anomalously large and variable rise times, and the occurence of spiked or rounded waveforms rather than the characteristicN waves. The extent of the variability in data recorded during actual flight tests is summarized in the form of histograms, representing experimentally obtained probability density functions. The physical mechanisms believed to be responsible for the variations and the anomalous features in the signatures are described. These include refraction and subsequent wavefront rippling by turbulence, the possible focusing or defocusing of rays, the formation of caustics, and the phenomenon of wavefront folding, diffraction, and scattering. Recent statistical theories of shock propagation through a turbulent atmosphere proposed by Crow, George and Plotkin, Pierce, Horning, and others are reviewed.
Review of Sonic‐Boom Simulation Devices and Techniques51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912905View Description Hide Description
Research on aircraft‐generated sonic booms has led to the development of special techniques to generate controlled sonic‐boom‐type disturbances without the complications and expense of supersonic flight operations. This paper contains brief descriptions of several of these techniques along with the significant hardware items involved and indicates the advantages and disadvantages of each in research applications. Included are wind tunnels,ballistic ranges, spark discharges, piston phones, shock tubes, high‐speed valve systems, and shaped explosive charges. Specialized applications include sonic‐boom generation and propagation studies and the responses of structures, terrain, people, and animals. Situations for which simulators are applicable are shown to include both small‐scale and large‐scale laboratory tests and full‐scale field tests. Although no one approach to simulation is ideal, the various techniques available generally complement each other to provide desired capability for a broad range of sonic‐boom studies.
Seismic and Underwater Responses to Sonic Boom51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912906View Description Hide Description
Sonic booms produced by aircraft moving at supersonic speeds apply moving loads to the earth's surface. In deep water, a moving underwater pressure field is observed to accompany the hyperbolic boom trace sweeping over the surface. The pressure waveform underwater near the surface is almost identical to that of the Nwave in air, but it is rapidly smoothed and attenuated with depth, typically becoming one‐tenth as large at a depth less than 0.6 of the N wavelength. Overpressures may exceed background noisepressures by factors of up to 100 at moderate depths for frequencies between 2 Hz and 100 Hz, but are less than 0.16% of pressures known to harm marine life in single exposures. Adequate quantitative theories for the underwater effect have been developed, and have been verified by scale‐model experiments. On land, which is generally stratified, there are two major effects: the "static" deformation field traveling with the surface load, and air‐coupled Rayleigh wavetrains following each N‐wave transient. The latter have frequencies and amplitudes determined by the geology and the aircraft speed. The former has always been the largest effect in over 1003 seismograms recorded in field tests. Its amplitude is proportional to the sonic‐boom overpressure. The maximum ground motion recorded was about 100 times the largest natural, steady seismicnoise background, but was still less than 1% of the accepted seismic damage threshold for residential structures. Movement is greater in soft ground than on hard rock, and decreases rapidly with depth. Present quantitative theories for the major seismic effects agree reasonably well with the experiments. Seismic forerunner waves, which begin at least 7 sec before arrival of the sonic boom, might be exploited for automatic warnings to lessen the startle effect. Sonic booms probably cannot trigger earthquakes, but might possibly precipitate incipient avalanches or landslides in exceptional areas which are already stressed to within a few percent of instability.
Sonic‐Boom‐Induced Building Structure Responses Including Damage51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912907View Description Hide Description
Concepts of sonic‐boom pressure loading of building structures and the associated responses are reviewed, and results of pertinent theoretical and experimental research programs are summarized. The significance of sonic‐boom load time histories, including waveshape effects, are illustrated with the aid of simple structural elements such as beams and plates. Also included are discussions of the significance of such other phenomena as three‐dimensional loading effects, air cavity coupling, multimodal responses, and structural nonlinearities. Measured deflection, acceleration, and strain data from laboratory models and full‐scale building tests are summarized, and these data are compared, where possible, with predicted values. Damage complaint and claim experience due both to controlled and uncontrolled supersonic flights over communities are summarized with particular reference to residential, commercial, and historic buildings. Sonic‐boom induced building responses are compared with those from other impulsive loadings due to natural and cultural events and from laboratory simulation tests.
Animal Response to Sonic Booms51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912908View Description Hide Description
This paper reviews reports and studies of animal response to sonic booms. Individual domestic or pet animals may react to a boom, a simple startle response being the most common reaction. However, specific reactions differ according to the species involved, whether the animal is alone, and perhaps whether there has been previous exposure. Occasional trampling, moving, raising head, stampeding, jumping, and running are among the reactions reported. Avian species occasionally run, fly, or crowd. Reactions vary from boom to boom and are not predictable. Animal reactions to booms are similar to their reactions to low‐level subsonic airplane flights, helicopters, barking dogs, blown paper, and sudden noises. Conclusive data on effects of booms on production are not available, but no change in milk production by one dairy herd was noted. The reactions of mink to sonic booms have been studied in considerable detail. Female mink with kits may be alerted, pause in activity, and look for source of sound. Sleeping females may awaken and mating pairs may show momentary alertness, but the mating ritual is not disturbed. No wounding, killing, carrying, or burying of kits in nest by females have been observed in the studies. In one series of observations the reactions of the mink to barking dogs, trucknoises, and mine blasting were similar to their reactions to booms. The effect of booms on eggs being hatched under commercial conditions was examined in detail, and no effects on hatchability were found. However, a mass hatching failure of the Dry Tortugas Sooty Tern occurred in 1969, and the circumstantial evidence suggests that physical damage to the eggs by severe sonic booms caused by low‐level supersonic flights was responsible. Observations on wild and zoo animals are quite limited, but those made on deer, reindeer, and some zoo animals revealed no reaction or only minimal and momentary reaction, such as raising the head, pricking the ears, and scenting the air.
Human Response to Sonic Boom in the Laboratory and the Community51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912909View Description Hide Description
Present‐day estimates regarding the acceptability of sonic booms by man are derived from various observations, overflight programs, and experimental field and laboratory studies conducted both within and outside the United States. The loudness and annoyance of individual booms and their dependence on the boom overpressure and pressure‐time function as well as the complex reaction of individuals, groups, and communities exposed to sonic booms of varied magnitude and frequency are discussed. The few experiments available proving that even sonic booms of the maximum intensity presently feasible do not produce direct medical injury are described. Based on the integrated body of results of recent physiological, psychoacoustic, behavioral, and sociological studies in various countries, estimates of the effects and acceptability of regular, frequent supersonic commercial overland flight schedules are presented and discussed in terms of aircraft noise pollution in general, and of potential certification of aircraft with respect to noise and sonic boom. Findings support the current policy that commercial supersonic transport aircraft will not be permitted to fly over the United States unless and until the noise factors are brought within acceptable limits.
Recent Sonic‐Bang Studies in the United Kingdom51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912910View Description Hide Description
The paper summarizes the sonic‐bang studies that have been made in the United Kingdom since 1965, which embrace flight trials, field experiments, and laboratory studies. The main flight trial concerns the measurement of the sonic bang from the Concorde. It is shown that, when the Concorde is flying at 45 000 ft, the waveform at the ground has attained its farfield N‐wave shape, although this is not quite so when it is flying at 37 000 ft. The measured characteristic overpressures for these two altitudes and a Mach number of 1.3 are 110 N/m2 and 120 N/m2, respectively. The effects of sonic bangs on cathedrals are discussed and the vibrational responses likely to be induced by the sonic bang are compared with those already arising from other environmental causes. Finally, the results of a study of the effects of simulated sonic bangs on some greenhouses are discussed; these results seem to indicate that most damages can be ascribed to a triggering effect.
Experiments on the Effect of Sonic‐Boom Exposure on Humans51(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1912911View Description Hide Description
This paper reports the results of a field experiment initiated by the Division of House Construction at Chalmers' University of Technology in connection with the Swedish Aeronautical Research Institute, whose primary aim was to study boom exposure effect on structures. Military aircraft were used which flew over a test area generating sonic booms of various intensities. Test persons were exposed directly under the flight path, the exposure effect being measured with the aid of a visual performance test and a tracking test. In addition, the subjective reactions of the test persons and military recruits, present at other sites under the sonic‐boom carpet, were evaluated with the aid of a questionnaire.

—The letter from Drs Schenck and Mahowald that discusses the potential for serotonin syndrome when using dexfenfluramine hydrochloride (Redux) with other serotoninergic agents warrants additional comment. The authors neglected to point out that the serotonin syndrome appears to be rare, even among patients taking serotoninergic drug combinations.1,2 Without their making this point, readers may be misled by their suggestion that large numbers of people are at risk for this syndrome. Serotonin syndrome has been reported more often with certain drug combinations such as MAOIs used with serotoninergic agents and is reported less frequently with other drug combinations.1 By not making this distinction, it appears that all the agents cited by the authors represent a similar risk when used with dexfenfluramine.The lack of reported cases of serotonin syndrome in patients receiving dexfenfluramine alone or in combination with other agents is reassuring, especially in view of its widespread clinical

It doesn't affect it, I heard this past year was the worst but overall it didn't matter because we had school when conditions were permissible. If conditions were bad, then we didn't have school and more time to catch up or study up for the exam which was a win win.
Local weather has little to no effect on campus unless it is extreme. For example, this semester we had a couple of days off because of icy conditions, as a result, the campus was shut down.
They do not cancel when they should but they are improving this.
Texas weather is always unpredictable.
It's Texas. It might be 80 degrees one day and it could be snowing by the next morning.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
UTD students, Dallas-born and international alike, maintain a love/hate relationship with the weather in Dallas. The "love" part, however, prevails for the better part of the year, and is only replaced by discontent when summer takes over from May to September, which includes only two months of the fall and spring semester, so students have plenty to rejoice about when they compare the weather here to that of any other places up north.
That being said, North Texas' summer is truly unforgiving. The temperature can reach and stay at 110 F for weeks on end, without a drop of rain to ease it. This misery is typical of August and September, and sometimes even carries over to October. When fall comes, however, life on campus blossoms. The sun, wind, temperature, and even rain are all just right, and, by Halloween, people have already forgotten how they nearly died of heat just weeks before. Believe it or not, there has been snow in Dallas; however, it's always risky to bet on a snowy winter. If you are one of those snow lovers, there's still a bright side to it: Legend has it that any amount of snow or ice on campus can easily translate into an extra week or two of winter break. (Talk about snowphobia!) The transition into spring in March is pleasant yet subtle, often recognized only by the start of outdoors intramural tournaments.
