Reviews of Tafika
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Will be back!
A new camp for me and one that I would love to visit again. John and Carol are fantastic hands-on hosts and the whole team was terrific. It's obviously a very happy workforce! We were guided by Bryan, Stephen and Alex and they were excellent.
Tafika is very well laid out and we loved the space and distance between the chalets. I also liked the little hide. The security provided at night by the night watchment was much appreciated as the layout and nocturnal visitors can be a little tricky.
I can't believe I did a microflight trip given the vertigo I usually suffer from. but John inspires total confidence - and I liked it so much I did it again the next day!
Relaxed atmosphere at Tafika
The staff and the management really made us feel like part of a family right from the start when we where warmly welcomed by Heather. We felt very sad to have to leave after our three nights here.
Our guide, Mukupa, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had a lot of fun together and saw many special things (the highlight must have been the wild dogs - third sighting at Tafika this season).
Also, seeing the Luangwa from the air in a microlight was very special. Doing so with someone who knows the area as well as John is a great privilege.
Tafika review
Tafika is a great place where to start. The night drives are amazing and the guides are very experienced. All activities were very well handled, guides and staff always present but not overwhelming. The wildlife is ubiquitous,....., including in the camp. We saw a leopard every night (not in the camp) , I understand we were lucky.
Only one disappointment. The food was really average and we were expecting less chicken, minced meat, vegetables in jelly, lasagnas and stews and more "real meat".
Tafika review
We loved everything about Tafika.
The expertise of the guides was everything we'd hoped for; we enjoyed every single drive and walk and they contrived to make each one a different experience by rotating the guides and spotters and taking us to different areas. Because of the length of the drives, and perhaps because our stay was a bit longer than average, we really felt we got to know several of the guides well and to understand a bit about the lives of the local people from what they told us.
The accommodation was very comfortable and most attractive, the food was excellent, but most importantly the staff were uniformly friendly and helpful. Everyone was genuinely concerned when Alice was unwell for a couple of days (she had picked up a flu-type bug, probably on the plane) and found us appropriate medication, re-organised transfers to the bush-camp etc.
Tafika - Wow!
What a wonderful place - no other place has filled us with such happiness and such a desire to return! John and Carol are wonderful hosts and ALL the guides are "top notch" (Stephen, Alex and Brian) - good english (even Brian!), knowledgeable and, importantly, very helpful. Being met by Mkupa and Lloyd to canoe us across the Luangwa was a super experience.
Tafika rewarded us with the best game sightings of the holiday and also the longest drives.
The "house" staff also are great and we enjoyed our tour of the kitchen garden with Isaac!
A number of nice touches: purpose built steps to aid access to the jeeps - taken on trips when those less agile were aboard; light on in the bedroom on return from evening drives; Good electricity; super showers that really made one wet and warm.
The open grassy area gives such a wonderful feeling of space - one is instantly relaxed.
We loved the visit to the village and school - very moving.
Return to Tafika
Lovely welcome from Carol and John on our return after four years. They still run the camp in a relaxed and very efficient way with their great team. Rhona was exceptional in coping with my dietary requirements and produced a great variety of perfectly cooked meals.
The rooms are well-designed, comfortable and well-equipped with excellent showers and large mosquito nets which enclosed the whole sleeping area so there was no feeling of claustrophobia. The laundry service was superb, with clothes collected in the morning returned the same day.
The guides and spotters were all excellent. We particularly enjoyed the enthusiasm of Alex and Stephen. It was good to see Brighton again and enjoy his fire-lighting skills! It was great to be able to do guided walks, especially after crossing the river by canoe which added to the experience.
We appreciated being able to send emails and having Brian on hand to help with technical problems!
It was particularly good to have a closed vehicle to go to the airport - we saw others who didn't and they were very wet having come through a thunderstorm!
Unfortunately we were unable to take advantage of the microlight flights due to the cost of insurance investigated before we left home.
Thankyou to everyone for a memorable visit to Tafika and for the great care you took of us.
Fabulous camp located in extensive shaded grounds on the banks of the Luanga river. The chalets were huge (although we believe we were allocated the honeymoon suite, all the chalets looked of similar size from the outside), and open at head height at both ends which allowed for a through breeze - very helpful in the October heat. The shower / bathroom complex was excellent, and the multi-shelved wicker dresser allowed us to spread out our bag contents - it's funny how these small things make such a difference.
There is a small hide behind the camp (away from the river) overlooking a small waterhole, although we didn't see very much there while we visited. John and Carol were most welcoming, and Heather as camp manager seemed omniprescent. Irrepressible guide Alex, and superb spotter MCooper (?spelling), although we did manage to stump Alex on one question - how many kg of insects does an aardvark eat in a day (thank you John for that one), and Alex, if you read this, an aardvark grows to 50-80kg (rather than the 10-15kg we estimated), so on reflection we feel the 50g diet guessed would leave him a little on the hungry side!
The leopard sightings were awesome - multiple sightings on every drive (thanks to both Alex and Bryan for these and for locating the Land Cruisers for some superb photographs), but the real highlight must be the microlight flight - one of those 101 things to do before you die. One of us even managed to get to see two wild dog chasing a puku - not something you'd be able to do from the ground - a real David Attenborough moment.
And John, I'll be grateful to you forever for the second microlight flight to find the lions. I just wished we'd been able to stay aloft all day. We trust you've been able to sort out what was going on with the lions. The company at the camp was excellent - two other couples and a lady travelling on her own, made for an a magic mix which just heightened the pleasure of our stay. The food was outstanding, varied and beautifully presented. Excellent just seems too inadequate to describe this awesome camp.
Tafika review
Tafika was recommended to us as a place to see leopard, and we saw some good sightings of leopard. Out of 7 game drives, we saw leopard 5 times, so overall, this met our expectations and was a good recommendation.
The camp is excellent given its location. As it's more remote than others, it is not as luxurious. For example, there is electricity available in the central area, but not in your hut.
Overall, the food is excellent, but we did feel rather overwhelmed in the evening with yet another meal. The favourite meal of the day for us was lunch and we really didn't feel that we needed much more food that day after that.
Tafika review
The location overlooking the river is just perfect!
A very nice camp, the room was spacious, very confortable and I loved the bathroom area with just the sky as a roof. Excellent game drives with great guides,.some of the best sighting ever seen.
A very relaxed and friendly atmosphere also during meals with John, Carol and the rest of the staff. The food was simply delicious.
Tafica - saved the best till last!
Just Superb. All the same comments as given for Kapampa. Brilliant wilderness location, Outstanding food, Excellent guiding, Superb room, Great hosting.
Difficult to separate them on most criteria, but perhaps Tafica just has the edge given:-
- The personnal touch of the owners - John and Carol et al!
- Outstanding guiding - particularly Brian.
- The option to take the microlight flight.
We had a superb time at Tafica - the Leopards "falling" out of the trees.

"RE: Flash / No Flash Question"
Hi Richard,Welcome to Nikonians!Since the D5100 is an entry level body many of the features and dedicated buttons on the higher level bodies were ommitted to keep the low price point.Using a non-Nikon Speedlight even though it may be i-TTL capable may be contributing to your problem.It sounds like the function (fn) button included on the D7000 and higher bodies is what you are looking for. The function button can be assigned to control one of about twelve options including "Flash Off" which will prevent the built-in Speedlight or a Speedlight in the hotshoe from firing when the fn button is pressed.The D7000 also has a penta-prism viewfinder, a Sub-Command dial, dedicated buttons so settings can be easily changed on the fly without going into the camera menu.It also supports All AF Nikon F mount lenses with the exception of the 80mm f/2.8 and the 200mm f/3.5 designed for the F3AF back in 1983. It will also support metering with AI, and AI modified Manual Focus Lenses.The D7000 also has Commander mode included in the built in Speedlight.Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,Marty

Pretty much the same. Type > Glyphs
Set the Glyphs panel to use the Symbol font and you will find your therefore sign 6 rows down and 15 columns across.
I need to use the symbol for the word "therefore" - it is the symbol that has three dots arranged as a triangle - how do i do this in InDesign ?
In Microsoft Word, I can do this form Insert-Symbol- pick the symbol font and pick the "therefore" symbol - but how do i do this in InDesign CS2 ? -

you will find your therefore sign 6 rows down and 15 columns across.
....if your glyphs panel happens to be sized the same as Ken's. I don't even HAVE 15 columns showing.
I wouldn't worry too much about the row/column numbers. Just scroll through until you find it.
thanks ken - that worked !
another related question
Inserting special characters from the glyph panel is a pain if one has to insert these characters frequently - is there any shortcut that i can use (say alt+x=therefore symbol ) so that when i am typing in my document, i can place these special characters quickly without detourining into the glyph panel everytime ?
Not really. The glyphs panel will show you the Unicode value, but I can't remember how - if at all - one enters Unicode
through the keyboard. You could find the Alt+ value by trial and error. But in any event, you would still have to keep
switching your font to Symbol when you enter the code, so you might as well just keep the glyphs panel open. You can
reduce its size to show the recently used glyphs - and a couple more rows.
What I would be inclined to do would be to put a nonesense character in in place of the therefore character (something
like ~~~) and then do a find/replace to change ~~~ to the therefore character pasted in from the glyphs palette.
Remember to change the font to Symbol in the replace dialogue.
You can also add it to a glyph set. Glyph sets can hold glyphs you regularly use from multiple different fonts (and can be set to remember the font or not) and can be shared.
That's still not as fast a keyboard shortcut, but it's quicker than the whole rigamarole. Find/change, though, would probably be my first choice, too, if there is more than one instance.

1958 BMW Isetta 300 news, pictures, specifications, and information
Its name meaning 'little Iso,' the Isetta was designed and first manufactured by the same Italian firm that later produced the exotic Iso Rivolta, Iso Fidia and Iso Grifo. The Isetta was also built under license by both Velam in France and BMW in Germany and is credited as being the car that saved BMW. While exported to America, their small size, poor performance and unusual appearance made them an unpopular alternative to other economy cars and few were sold. Other cars that competed against the BMW in the 'micro-car' market segment included the German Messerschmitt, Italian Fiat Bianchina, and the French Mochet Velocar.
It was produced during/after wwII as an alternative to the VW bug. This vehicle was produced from 1955-1962.

2007 RM Auctions
This 1958 BMW Isetta 300 was brought to the 2007 Monterey Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by RM Auctions, where it had an estimated value of $20,000 - $30,000. It was offered without reserve. Power is from a 18.2 cubic-inch single-cylinder engine with an overhead valve and an available 13 horsepower. There is a four-speed manual gearbox and drum brakes on all four corners. The car rests on a small, 59.1-inch wheelbase.
These vehicles were the ultimate in efficient and affordable transportation. They were developed by Renzo Rivolta's Iso works in Italy and following World War II, were licensed by BMW for manufacture in Germany. BMW introduced them in 1955 and it was not long before they were nicknamed the 'das rollende Eei', meaning the 'rolling egg.'
On the BMW stage at the 1955 Frankfurt Auto Show, along side a large BMW 505 Pullman Limousine, the Isetta was formally introduced to the world. The timing was good, as many consumers were looking for a vehicle that was economical, affordable, and convenient. The engine is a four-stroke, single-cylinder air-cooled unit borrowed from a BMW motorcycle. The total weight was around 770 pounds, top speed was over 50 mph, and fuel economy was in the 40 to 45 miles per gallon range.
Among the accomplishments of the Isetta is saving the financially-strapped BMW Corporation from being purchased by Mercedes-Benz in the late 1950s.
This Isetta 300 has traveled a mere 34,875 miles since new. It has been recently treated to new trim, upholstery, tires and other refurbishments. It is finished in a two-tone paint scheme of aqua blue and white top. It is reliable and mechanically sound.
Much to the amazement of many, this vehicle proved that the collector car market for small vehicles is alive and strong, as bidding surpassed the estimated value and settled at $35,200 including buyer's premium.
By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2007
BMW's 'Own' Isetta 300 was substantially re-engineered to the point at which no parts remained interchangeable with those of the Iso designed and built bubble cars from whence it came. Between April 1955 and May of 1962 some 161,360 BMW bubble cars were produced and that includes three years of overlap with BMW 700 production, their own 'conventional' small car. The 300 used a 298cc single cylinder, 4-stroke motorcycle engine (based on that from the R25/3) - the cylinder head was rotated by 180 degrees, which offered about 13 horsepower. In Germany, all it required was a motorcycle license to 'drive.'
Rebuilding of Europe during the decade following World War II created a huge market for a small, economical, short distance city car. The Italian firm of Iso SpA, manufacturers of utility vehicles including scooters and 3-wheeled lories, responded to this need when the Isetta 300 was introduced at the Turin Motor Show of 1953.
The name is a diminutive of Iso and suited the micro-car that was an instant success, unlike anything seen before, and went on to be built in many countries. Germany's BMW, struggling to rebuild from war's destruction, gained license to manufacture their version to the Italian design as a thoroughly re-designed model using the BMW 1-cylinder, 4-stroke motorcycle engine rated at 13 horsepower from 247cc, a considerable improvement from the Italian 2-stroke, 9.5 horsepower version.
Although similar visually, BMW's re-design made almost nothing interchangeable between the cars. Mated to the motorcycle 4-speed transmission, top speed of the Isetta 300 was over 50 mph and delivered about 63 miles per gallon of gasoline that was expensive, making the car ideal for infrequent, short distance driving. BMW built the 300 until 1962 with a total of 161,728 produced.
This 1958 model has been restored from a well-preserved original that needed only freshening of mechanicals and a new interior to return the car to as-manufactured configuration as an un-modified 300 as close to original configuration as could be achieved. Even its engine is completely original, having never been rebuilt from factory assembly.

The Isetta was built under license from Italy's ISO S.p.A. The 'Rolling Egg' Isetta (Little Iso) is said to be the car that saved war-devastated Bavarian Motor Werkes of Munich. It had a front-opening door and pivoting steering wheel. The little car was popular in Germany, especially with postal carriers, and many were exported to the United States. They had a sliding fabric roof panel (in case the front door was blocked or damaged) and sliding glass die windows. Inside, they offered room for a driver and one passenger. They had excellent fuel economy at about 50 mpg and sold for a very reasonable price when new.
Renzo Rivolta's unique design first came to market in 1955 as the Isetta 250, but was upgraded the following year with a 298cc engine. Years later, BMW produced a larger version with a 600cc engine.
This example is a US specification example in very original condition. The current Northwest owner has owned the car since 2000. It has a factory-applied red paint and a white fabric sliding top. Power is from a 298cc overhead valve single-cylinder engine fitted with a single carburetor. The engine produces 13 horsepower and there is a 4-speed manual transmission, along with 4-wheel drum brakes.
By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2014
The current owner purchased this Isetta from the original owner in 1996 with 3,000 miles on the odometer. It was all original besides one respray in bright yellow. The vehicle was restored to its original stock condition. It is a rare convertible with tropical front door and fresh air vent. It has a European trailer hitch and European camper.
At a time when cheap, short-distance transportation was incredibly preferred by consumers, BMW introduced the Isetta in November of 1953 at Turin. One of the most successful microcars that were produced in the post-WWII years, the egg-shaped Isetta's design originated in Italy. The Isetta received the nickname 'bubble car' because of its bubble-like windows and its egg shape. Other nicknames for the Isetta were 'das rollende Ei'; the rolling egg in Germany, along with the 'Sargwagen'; coffin car, 'yogurt pot' in France, 'huevito'; little egg in Chili and in Brazil, the 'bola de futebol de fenemê'; soccer ball of FNM.
The Iso Isetta originated from the Italian firm of Iso SpA, a company that originally began building compact three-wheeled trucks, motor scooters and refrigerators. In the early 1950s Renzo Rivolta, Iso's owner, chose to build small vehicles for mass consumption. Pierluigi Raggi and Ermenegildo Preti, the engineers behind the design, built the Isetta with a scooter engine. Isetta means little ISO in Italian. The designers came up with the design by taking two scooters, placing them close to each other and adding a refrigerator before shaping the result like 'a teardrop in the wind'.
Considered by some to be the best microcar of all time, the Isetta caused quite a stir when it was unveiled. More unique than anything out there at the time, the 'bubble car' was only 7.5 feet long and 4.5 feet wide. The entire front end of the vehicle hinged outwards to allow entry, along with an exit for passenger and driver through the canvas sunroof in the event of a crash. Making access to the single bench seat simpler, both the steering wheel and instrument panel swung out with the single door. There was enough room inside the vehicle for two passengers to sit comfortably, and behind the seat was a spare wheel hidden underneath a large parcel shelf. Ventilation was available by opening up the fabric sunroof, and a heater was optional.
The Isetta came with a 236 cc 9.5 hp two cylinder two-stroke motorcycle engine. Dynastart was a combination generator-starter, and a manual gearbox provided four forward speeds and reverse. The rear wheels were 10-inches, and a chain drive connected the gearbox to a solid rear axle.
The original prototype came with one wheel at the rear, but unfortunately this made the vehicle very susceptible to rolling over, so two rear wheels were places at the rear 19 inches away from each other. Since the track was so narrow, no differential was needed. The front axle was an updated variation of a Dubonnet independent front suspension.
The Iso Isetta achieved a top speed of 45 m ph, and could reach 30 mph in just over 30 seconds. The Isetta featured a small fuel tank that only held 3.5 gallons, and could get somewhere between 50-70 miles per gallon of gas.
Iso introduced two models, the Autocarro; a commercial version with full-width rear axle and the Turismo which had a narrow 50 cm rear track. The Autocarro came in a variety of body styles, an enclosed truck, a tilt-bed, a fire engine and a flatbed pickup. In Italy the Autocarro was immensely popular as that type of vehicle was utilized often.
Achieving an average speed of 43 mph, several Isettas were entered in the Mille Miglia in 1954. The Isetta took the top three spots in the economy classification, a distance more than 1,000 miles that the drivers achieved in more than 70 mph. Even though at first the Isetta was incredibly popular, it began to drop in popularity due to renewed competition from FIAT with its 500C model.
At this time, Rivolta wanted to spend his time and energy on his new Iso Rovolta sports vehicle, and also concentrate on doing license deals. During mid 1954, BMW started talking with Rivolta about not just a license, but in fact the complete Isetta body tooling. Licensing the Isette to BMW wasn't the last thing Rivolta did, he also negotiated similar deals with companies in Brazil and France.
In 1955 the production of Italian built cars ending after the construction of about 1,000 units. It is estimated that around 4,000 Autocarros were built, while Iso continued to build the Isetta in Spain until 1958.
The first car to be produced in Brazil, the Romi-Isetta was introduced on September 5th, 1956. A total of 3,000 units were introduced from the beginning of production until 1961. Iso licensed the Isetta to Romi, a machine-tool manufacturer in 1955. Romi is located in the city of Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, in the State of São Paulo. The Iso design and engines remained ntil 1958 before they were replaced with the BMW 300 cc engines.
The Isetta's powerplant was redesigned by BMW. The powerplant was rebuilt around a BMW one-cylinder, four-stroke, 247 cc motorcycle engine that produced 13 hp. Most of the original elements of the Italian design stayed the same while BMW re-engineered much of the vehicle, so that none of the parts between and Iso Isetta and a BMW Isetta Moto Coupe are interchangeable. In April of 1955, the first BMW Isetta was unveiled. In the following eight months a around 10,000 'bubble cars' were produced.
BMW added the Isetta 250 to the lineup. Keeping the same 'bubble windows' as the original Isetta, this version was redesigned to carry a modified version of the 250 cc 4-stroke engine from the BMW R25/3 motorcycle and the front suspension was also updated. The 250 was two-tone colored and featured headlamps fixed separately to the sides of the bodywork.
The cylinder head was made up of aluminum while the crankcase and cylinder were constructed of cast iron. At 5800 rpm, the single-cylinder generated 12 hp. Compared with the motorcycle engine the head was rotated by 180 degrees. The twin-bearing crankshaft was also much larger and came with reinforced bearings due to the heavy Dynastart unit that combined the self-starter and the dynamo. BMW also enlarged the sump for installation in the vehicle and cooled the engine by a radial fan and shrouded ducting. The Isetta 250 had a top speed of 53 mph and in Germany could be driven with just a motorcycle license.
The Isetta Moto Coupe DeLuxe; or Isetta 300 was introduced in October of 1956. Considered to be the 'sliding-window' Isetta, as longer, sliding side windows replaced the famous bubble windows. The 300 featured an enlarged single cylinder to a 72 mm bore and 73 mm stroke which now achieved a displacement of exactly 298 cc. The compression ratio was already raised from 6.8 to 7.0:1. The engine now got 13 hp at 5200 rpm, while the torque jumped to 18.4 N•m at 4600 rpm. The top speed remained at 53 mph on the Isetta 300.
Produced with the intent to be an enlarged Isetta three-wheeler with even more power, along with a conventional four-wheel configuration, the BMW Isetta 600 was the largest of the BMW bubble vehicles. Though the front end of the 600 looked just like the regular Isetta, the wheelbase was stretched to allow room for four passengers comfortably. All-new semi-trailing arm independent suspension was introduced, while a conventional rear axle was also added. This was the same suspension that would be found on every new model for the next 40 years.
Featuring a much more powerful engine, the Isetta 600 came with a 582 cc twin engine from the R67 motorcycle, and could achieve a top speed of 64 mph. Only 34,000 Isetta 600's were produced in the two years of its lifespan, mainly because of the competition from the entry-level VW Beetle.
After 161,728 units had been built, in May of 1962, BMW ceased production of the Isetta.
An all new Isetta is scheduled to be released in 2010 and will be built on the same platform as the Fiat Topolino. The rear engined, rear wheel drive vehicle is expected to achieve 100 mph.

If the kids are sitting around the house complaining of boredom, the Challenger Learning Center of Kentucky has a solution.
The learning center is offering a variety of educational camps this summer for children of different ages.
The director of the center says it's a way for kids to have a good time and learn something as well.
"This is an educational experience for them and they have fun and learn and don't realize they're learning, so that's the best part of it," Tom Cravens said.
The different camps cover everything from robotics and forensics to simulated space missions.

Riddick Bowe Eyes Pro Wresting, Targets Hulk Hogan
Former heavweight champion Riddick Bowe (43-1-0 with 33 knockouts) is now looking to start a career in pro wrestling. Last month, Bowe tried his hand at Muay Thai and he was battered in two one-sided rounds. Bowe, 46-years-old, planned to have another Muay Thai bout, but now appears to be more interested in pursuing a career in pro wresting. He told WrestlingRumors.net that wrestling icon Hulk Hogan was his target - stating "[I want to use] Hogan as my warmup." Pro wrestler Tommy Dreamer has actually offered Bowe free wrestling training at his House of Hardcore training facility. Hogan works for wrestling promotion TNA, where a number of aging MMA fighters have appeared in recent weeks.
Is Bowe really bored or does he need the money that bad?Comment by chavmex on 08-27-2013

Corporate Advocacy Program™
We were contacted by this Stacy Vetrone the Senior Modifications Consultant. She sent me an email with all the required documents needed. I was hesitant and had questions, because we were told the cost of $1895 had to be paid to retain the attorney to do the loan modification. We were told it would be held in an escrow account and if the loan modification was not successful, we would receive our money back. We decided to go ahead and try to get the lower interest rate of 4.5% to 5%. This would help us so much and have our taxes included.
Well we paid the money by March 13, 2009. I have been calling every since to find out status of the loan modification. When you call it says thank you for calling Hope Now Financial Services Corp. If you know your parties ext, press 1, if you need to speak to an attorney press 3 if you want the status of your loan modification, press 6, If you are lender and need assistance press 8, If you need directions press 9, If you need other assistance press 0 for the operator. Thank you for your business.
Problem #1- when you press 1 type in ext 5706 for Stacey Vetrone, goes straight to voicemail.
Problem #2- when you press 3 for an attorney, line rings, then you get a busy signal.
Problem #3- when you press 6 for status update on loan mod, line rings then you get a busy signal again.
Problem #4- when you press 8 for lender you get a voicemail with a mans voice telling you to leave your business name and phone number, he will call you back.
Problem #5- when you dial 9 you do get directions if you live in Cherry Hill, NJ you might know where they are talking about.
Problem #6- when you dial 0 for the operator, the recording says now transferring to an operator, then the line rings and you start all over again, no one ever answers any line or option.
have called 14 times in one day at all different times and never got an answer, not one time. I have left email and called and left messages. No one has ever called me back since March 13th. It has been two weeks now and my mortgage company is calling me about my payment. I sent my money to these crooks trying to keep from getting my home foreclosed on and now I am in worse shape than before. I am about to be two months behind on my mtg.
If I had just paid the payment to the mortgage company, I would only be one month behind, and I could have possibly caught up. I am a very hard working person, and I trusted these people to help us and I was taken for a very costly ride. It is not just the money, now I stand to lose much more than my home. I cannot pay car payments because I was trying to get a handle on my house payment. I may lose my marriage, cause my husband is so mad at me for this fiasco. It is not enough we have been ripped off for the last 4 years by so called politicians and our elected officials.
The people we put in Washington, have been stealing from us, gas companies are robbing us blind and now you have scum like these people praying on the select people who were caught up in the sub-prime mess, getting ripped off by the likes of these so called FHA- Mtg loan mod companies. I am so sick of the greed and crookedness in America it is not even funny. I am a God fearing christian women who believes in helping others. I cannot imagine anyone feeling good about what they have done to people who have already been hurt, buy stealing from them and lying and causing even more harm.
I strongly believe we can put these thieves behind bars where they belong. How does a country as great as America let this kind of stuff continue to happen. How come we can catch a low level drug dealer, but we can't catch the head ring leader. I am amazed at some of the stuff that we allow to continue for some people in this country, and can't seem to prosecute them. I have proof of every document received from this company, every fax or email sent. I have proof of payment. I have call records from my cell phone and home phone how many times I have called. I have a record of all information sent to this company. I fear now that if I have been scammed, they have all my information. I don't know what to do. We need someone to come to our aid and put an end to these kind of scam artists and not legal companies.
I need every penny of my money back. I am hoping the Attorney General can help us as taxpaying americans, hard working americans, legal americans, get our money back from these crooks, these are some really low life people to steal from someone who is about to lose their roof over their heads. That just really sinks low and it really sucks, to know you trusted them to help you and you got scammed yet again. I pray for their day in court, so I can look them in their face when they go to prison, and we will see who has the last laugh. I hope they get just what they deserve.
Can't believe it!

WP Security Scan, which doesn't appear to have been updated for some time, does not respect WordPress' Force SSL mode, which can be set in wp-config.php
When the plugin is active, the connection is only partially encrypted, because WP Security Scan is ironically making insecure calls to external websites. Deactivating the plugin makes a WP admin instance (with no other plugins installed) go back to being fully encrypted when accessed.
It's kind of ridiculous that a security plugin isn't compatible with Force SSL mode.

Hi Guys,
thank you for your plugin, seems great, exactly what i'm looking for!
However, i can't really get it to work, it seems like i'm missing something.
I install the plugin, and it rewrites my .htaccess file and modifies my image urls. The queries i just leave as default to be modified later. Now when i try to load a page the images doesn't load. The image URL looks something like this "/slir/w584/wp-content/uploads/image-01.jpg" etc, but when i check the server there are no images to match this. So it seems to me (i.e my best guess) that the image conversion doesn't work for me as it should.
I've followed your instructions, but i'm a designer and not a developer, so there's probably something very obvious i've missed.
Thanks in advance

Best Toaster
Best Toaster – If you've got by no means used a toaster oven before, you could not understand the good thing about owning one. If you wanted toast, you merely put the slices into the toaster, pressed the lever right down to lower the bread into the toaster. It wasn't until 1905 when Albert Marsh invented a chromium-nickel alloy that the toaster would make it is subsequent transition into changing into a extra practical equipment.

Also, while a toaster is adjustable, these ovens prepare dinner food items rather more evenly.
Best Toaster – But with individuals who needs things finished quick, with individuals who needs to multitask earlier than going to work, with those who are on a decent funds, and those whose kitchen area is restricted, your best option could be a toaster.

Upon receiving my toners, which took 10 days to get, I noticed the shape was a bit different, but since the company offered a 30 day money back guarantee and a 90 day replacement warranty, I felt OK. I didn't need the ink until about 10 days ago. The cartridges they sent are not only the WRONG SHAPE but they have completely different electrical connections on the end so it cannot be recognized by my designjet 5500. When I tried to email the company, they said they have never had problems with these cartridges before and would not give me my money back or even a store credit.
I reminded them of the top line in their website which states "90 day replacement guarantee" and they never responded back. I left phone messages, more emails and complained to Yahoo Shopping. Yahoo Shopping seems to turn a deaf ear to this saying they can't get involved and I should deal directly with the merchant. I told them I tried that but I couldn't get them to act responsibly. Yahoo has since turned a deaf ear to me as well.
I would not buy from another Yahoo Shopping Merchant after this experience and the poor cooperation I received. My advice $312 later is STAY AWAY FROM THE RIP OFF ARTISTS at AAA TONER from California. They don't answer their phone, and they just take money from trusting individuals. I don't know how they sleep at nite. They probably don't have a conscious.
And Yahoo isn't much better!

The Restoration
Opened in 2010, this "one-of-a-kind, beautiful hotel near Museum Mile and right off the King Street shopping district" comprises four buildings, the oldest of which dates to 1921. Interiors mix the "historic exposed-brick look with modern decor" and include "out-of-this-world rooms" with wood floors, dark-wood furniture, contemporary art, and stainless steel washers and dryers. "It's definitely the only place to stay in Charleston—great amenities, great views from the rooftop, it's perfect!" Caveat: "Stay on the top floor if you can. We didn't. There's not a lot of sound insulation, and we heard footsteps from the floor above." Dinner is not served, but a continental breakfast is delivered to the room each morning in a picnic basket, and there's a wine and cheese reception in the lobby each evening. "It's the chicest hotel in this stylish Southern city." In March 2016 it emerged from a full renovation and expansion (and dropped "on King" from its name). All 54 rooms are now suites.

Does anyone know why a site would lose track of it's wp-uploads folder simply because a new folder was created(in httpdocs) via FTP?
I created a new folder and put a PDF in it. Then the site ceased to function properly and WP didn't seem to recognize it's own directories unrelated to the folder I created.
I'm guessing it's a permissions issue, but I wonder if anyone has had this problem before and knows of the cause and/or fix.
Note: I didn't alter any of the WP files that were in place - I only created a new folder and uploaded a PDF to it.

Joy Formidable's live show can't match studio sound
The Joy Formidable delivered a blistering set at Summerfest last July Fourth. But something's changed since that hot summer night: The Welsh alternative rock trio's studio ambitions and accomplishments have outgrown its live capabilities.
The band returned to Milwaukee Tuesday to perform at a surprisingly spacious Turner Hall Ballroom. (Perhaps the Tuesday date turned people off? Or maybe the band's played the market too many times recently?) For Tuesday's 90-minute set, it had new material to share from its bold January album, "Wolf's Law." »Read Full Article(6)

After the 16th day it made its way to morrow georgia on july 5th. Now bear in mind morrow georgia is about a 6 hour drive from my home in spring hill fl. People at das assured me my car would be at a terminal an hour and 20 minutes north of my house by july 8th. Yes the das truck is passing my house by an hour and 20 minutes and driving to a tow yard where they are supposed to call me and schedule another appointment for delivery.
So then das bumped up my date it was supposed to be at the terminal to the 9th of july. Here it is the 10th of july and I still do not have my vehicle. It has taken them 5 days to drive 6 hours and nobody still knows where my car is. Their online tracking system updates when it wants too. It is not true real time tracking. When I call das and try to get answers nobody can give me a straight answer. They dont even have a number to reach the driver f the truck thats transporting my car!!
I spoke to a so called das "supervisor" named bryan and to throw salt on the wound he said" I cant be without my car for 1 day let alone over 3 weeks" WOW!! That made me realise the kind of unprofessional and discourteous people I was dealing with. He said he would call me back the next day with more info and that was 5 days ago.
I am very dissatisfied with this company and have had to purchase a rental car to get myself and my family around. I paid $1150 for door to door service and feel like I am not getting any kind of service at all. I would like some kind of reinbursement for my time, aggrivation, inconvinience, loss of my car etc etc. Please do not use das shippers.

Sierra Club Currents - The Heat is On
Quote of Note:
"For the first time in history, my community has had to use air conditioners. Imagine that, air conditioners in the Arctic."
-- Inuit leader Sheila Watt-Cloutier
(1) Take Action: Fight Global Warming
(2) Coal: The Heat is On
(3) Take Action:Help Protect Wild Forests!
(4) EPA: A Breath of Fresh Air
(1) Take Action:Fight Global Warming
This week global warming denier Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) is planning to tack an amendment onto the 9/11 bill (S.4) that would establish a new massively polluting industry to convert coal into liquid transportation fuel. This liquid coal will create almost double the global warming emissions per gallon as regular gasoline. The amendment would also short-circuit health and safety reviews, putting industry profits ahead of public well-being. At a time when we need to be solving global warming, liquid coal is a bad deal. Any Senator serious about combating global warming should be seriously opposed to this dirty, dangerous, and expensive boondoggle for the coal industry.
Fight Global Warming-Tell your Senator to Oppose Liquid Coal!
(2) Coal: The Heat is On
It's not just new coal-fired power plants that are facing growing scrutiny; now old plants are finding themselves in the hot seat as well. For years old coal plants have ducked environmental responsibilities and refused to update their pollution controls. Now a court has ruled that plants will not only be held responsible for failing to install the best available pollution controls when they update their facility, but also for the ongoing harm caused by the soot, smog, mercury and other pollution that spews into the air as a result of their failure.
Say goodbye to the coal energy of the past and see what you can do to support a clean energy future!
(3) Take Action: Help Protect Wild Forests!
The landmark Roadless Area Conservation Rule helps to protect over 50 million acres of the wild undeveloped areas of America's natural heritage. Despite incredible public support from businesses, faith groups, labor unions and sportsmen for protecting our forests and keeping the roadless rule in place, the Bush administration is still working to remove the Rule and the important protections it provides. Congress needs to act now to permanently protect our wild forests.
Urge your Representative to support the National Forest Roadless Area Conservation Act!
(4) EPA: A Breath of Fresh Air
In sharp contrast with other recent EPA efforts that have undermined clean air protections, the agency announced a proposal to clean up dirty diesel engines Friday. The new proposal calls for significant reductions in soot and smog emissions from locomotive engines and similar engines used in ships.

Chapter 5 of the Blue Knights held a fundraiser for the Southeast Alabama Child Advocacy Center.
Participants left at 9 am from the Southside Wal-Mart and traveled through Houston county, Dale county and Henry County.
Each rider donated 20 dollars to the advocacy center.
"I know the advocacy center has a special place in my heart, I am a retired PD and I worked child abuse cases for the last 10 or 12 years I was there. I can't say I know what these victims go through because I don't" says Brian Brackin, Member of Blue Knights Motorcycle Club.
The riders finished around 12:30 at Longhorn Steakhouse for food and door prizes.
