Date of Stay: April, 2008
I live near this place, and tried to dump the tanks on my RV. The office was locked (10 AM on a weekday morning). I talked to some rude lady via inter-com who stated they did not offer RV dumping because they did not have sewer hookups. I advised her there were several RVs hooked up with sewer connections. She stopped talking to me at that point. If they prefer not to offer dump service, then fine. The place looks dirty. If you need an overnight stay, try the Wal-Mart which is literally next door (same exit off of I-80). The Wal-Mart is cheaper (free), cleaner and no nasty lady lying to you.
Date of Stay: March, 2008
This is a nice campground, and since I was here in March it was filled mostly with snowbirds and some Florida locals. This is the closest KOA to Busch Gardens, however, it is still a 45 minute ride, but very close to the beaches. Friendly staff, clean restrooms and clean showers. A well kept and nicely landscaped campground. Many friendly camping families at the pool made for an extremely nice day. Nice hot tubs that are in a separate area away from the pool. Kids are discouraged (but not forbidden) from using hot tubs. I would definitely stay there again.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
This campground is huge, and that can be good or bad depending on your likings. The only campground I have seen this large is Fort Wilderness in Walt Disney World. The staff is friendly, and I booked last minute and subsequently did not get the best site. I saw better sites than mine, but they were probably seasonal. A huge plus is that there is an RV repair/parts shop right next door. This would not be my first choice for vacation, but not a campground to avoid.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
I booked a two week reservation, and left in less than 2 hours with a full refund. Their idea of full hookups was an electrical extension cord from another site strewn across tree branches to my site. I am not saying every site is like this, but that was what they gave me. I imagine the seasonal folks get the better sites. If not going seasonal, don't bother.
Date of Stay: July, 2007
The campground is clean, and the value is fair for the amenities. The staff does drive around very frequently, and they do seem a bit "strict" on rule enforcement, however, I feel that this creates a nicer environment. It is a family campground, and I would definitely return there for future vacations.
Date of Stay: April, 2007
This is one of my favorite campgrounds. I have stayed here several times, and for me this is the only campground to stay in while in Ocean City, MD. The activities for the children are excellent, and the families that camp here are nice. This is a large campground with many sites, so you are bound to run into someone who is not pleasant (campers, not staff). I base my review on the many nice campers I have met (the rule), not the few unpleasant ones (the exceptions). The staff is a bit on the young side, many of them most likely local college students. I really like this place and cannot wait to get back there again.

"Men who do not make advances to women are apt to become victims to women who make advances to them."

Eye to eye, voice to voice, hand to hand, heart to heart, these two children of the Universal Mother, else so wide apart and differing, have come together on the dark highway, to repair home together, and to rest in her bosom."

LOSERS fired from The Apprentice have been ditched AGAIN — as bosses dump the
final round where they traditionally make one last appearance.
This year there will be FOUR finalists instead of the usual two and
Lord Sugar will choose the winner in the gruelling interview round.
It means candidates fired in earlier rounds will not get their last chance to
appear on the show helping finalists in a deciding task, as they have in
previous years.
The move reflects the change in prize from a £100,000 job to a £250,000
business investment from Lord Sugar.
A source on the BBC1 show said last night: "This year as the prize is
different we wanted to shake things up a bit.
"Viewers love the interview round because it really is the toughest thing
about the show.
"And this series will be even harder. Lord Sugar has even more at stake this
year as he'll be investing £250,000 of his own cash into a business with the

She will be joined by business troubleshooter Claude Littner, magazine boss

The format change has angered the fired wannabes, who will now have to make do
with an audience spot for the last ever Apprentice: You're Fired before

The Magnificent Iguassu Falls!
Trip Start Nov 25, 2004
169Trip End Jan 26, 2005
The wait was worth it as the next day the sun had his hat on again so we jumped on a bus to see the Brazilian side of the falls. After numerous attempts trying to get a map so we could work out what we wanted to do, we gave in and jumped on the �free� doubledecker bus that takes you through the park and we decided to jump off at the start of the Cataratas walk where we randomly raccoons in plenty (not what we were expecting!) Having never seen one before...I got quite excited and spent the first quarter of an hour trying to take a photo! Yes I know there were some amazing waterfalls to see!!! Hee Hee!
So off we trotted and the first views we got of the falls were stunning to say the least...its not just the falls themselves though, it's the setting, the noise, the size, the rainbows...everything really and needless to say we were pretty impressed! The walk was cool as well as it started off a little way away from the Devil's Throat so you kept walking round each corner of the trail and getting wow'd by even more waterfalls, getting drenched by even more spray and getting deafened by the increasing sound of the water as it thundered over the falls! The waterfalls form a horseshoe shape and the number of them varies between 150 and 300, depending on the flow of the River. The water level was really high when we were there but I'm not sure how many there were and funnily enough we didn't count...even if Paul is an accountant geek! Hee Hee!
Once we reached the Devil's throat, we ventured onto a walkway which takes you literally above one of the falls and it feels like you are stood in a torrential rainstorm and the sound is deafening! Paul was loving it as it was just like a great big wet t-shirt competition and it just so happened that the majority of women had white t-shirts on! Hmmmm! I wonder what Paul was really looking at...
By this time, we were completely soaked to say the least so getting even wetter didn't seem to be a problem so the rest of our time at the Devil's Throat was spent at various lookout points some of which gave the best overall views of the falls...if you could see through all the spray! We took some special birthday messages literally almost underneath the falls for Lorna & Hurri...hope you realise just how wet we really were!!! Hee Hee! And then headed back to the bus stop to dry out for abit and decide what to do next!!!!
We eventually decided to jump on a helicopter to get a birds eye view of the falls which was abit spenny as we were only up in the air for 10 minutes but the views were unbelievable and it really gave you the impression that there was a big gap in the earth with lots of water spilling into it! (Apparently they were formed over 100 million years ago due to massive volcanic eruptions!). It really gave you a perspective of how big the falls really are and also showed you all the rainforest surrounding the falls! We can't exaggerate enough how stunning the setting is as well...butterflies, orchids, palms, bamboo and just green everywhere! Can you tell we loved it? We just felt sorry for the Japanese lady who was sat in the middle seat on the helicopter ride as 10 minutes is not a long time when everyone is trying to get the same photos! Bless! Another bonus was that we loved the helicopter ride itslef...it was Paul's first time and the last time for me was with my Dad on a flight from Penzance in Cornwall to St Michael's Mount! WOWEE! Lots better than micor-planes put it that way! So then it wa sfeet back safely on dry land and back to Foz for some rice & beans!
The next morning we decided to be lazy and joined a tour to do the Argentinian side of the falls!! We had a very sweet guide who spoke very amusing English and were accompanied by three brummie lasses which all in all made for a highly entertaining day! You don't even need to get your passport stamped if you're just going across for the day which we were quite releived about as we ended up with about 8 stamps in our passport for Argentina alone from the all the toing and froing we'd been doing!!!!!
We arrived at the park and headed out for a stroll through the forest to the Upper Walkway and the start of our search for a toucan!!!! No toucans, but we found a very green lizard on a tree and I took some genius photos...definitely the best I've taken since we've been away and guess what...I deleted it by accident! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Our first lookout was just beautiful and for me it started a day of just amazing scenery! Different people prefer different sides of the falls for different reasons but for me...the Argentinian side was just alot more beautiful and you were just alot closer to it all somehow plus the weather was absolutely stunning which I'm sure helped! Rainbows were absolutely everywhere, colourful butterflies were fluttering everywhere we looked and we were mightly impressed with a guy showing off as he made the most beautiful paintings of the falls in 3 minutes...with his finger!!! WOW!!! After a few more lookouts it was time to head back to jump on a jeep through the rainforest to go on a boat ride into the falls themselves (it's alot cheaper on the Argentinian side if you're planning to do this!)! Oh yes...we like getting drenched! The guide was explaining that we were driving through secondary rainforest and infact that there is only 6% remaining in the National Park. Very sad! We saw some parakeets but that was about it really! We arrived at the river, donned our lifejackets and headed onto our power boat onto the river and towards the falls! We passed hundreds and hundreds of yellow butteflies on the riverbanks which just looked like a banking full of daffodils or something! Quite mad!
Think our driver was abit of an adrenaline junkie and why not as he took us bouncing over the rapids at great speed, twisting and turning everywhere! We pulled up infront of the 3 musketeers so we could take piccies literally straight infront of them and then putting our cameras safely away, he revved up his engines and bezzed straight into the Devil's Throat....and I mean straight into!!!!! We had all this water from the falls slamming down on us and we couldn't see a thing...what a rush!!!!!! Someone told us on that particular day, there were 3000 cubic metres of water coming over the falls!!!! Normally, the boat drivers can take you behind the falls but there was just too much coming over!!! Anyway drenched to the max, the driver asked us if we wanted to do it again and like little kids, we all screamed 'Yeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss!!!!' Doesn't take much to revert back to childhood eh? This time as we went under I did some seriously girly screaming for the video camera and Paul shouted in a very manly voice (???) BVS!!!! To finish off, we went under the San Martin falls which again was mighty exhilerating and then it was all over...boooooo...bit more rapid action and some slick moves to get us even wetter which we REALLY needed!!??!!! (one guys at the front just had this huge wave come right on top of him!!!) And onto the jeep to dry off in the sunshine! After a quick lunch of beers and empanadas and some sneaky shots of the worst speedos you've ever seen...we set off to get even closer to the falls on the Lower Circuit! Reluctant to get drenched again but eventually bowing in under peer pressure, we had ample more opportunities to get soaked and were lucky enough to see a perfect 360 degree rainbow which is one of the most lovely things I've seen...think we nearly managed to get the whole thing on camera! Randomly as we were walking along, we had the opportunity to give some money to charity and have our blood pressures taken...funnily enough with our highly stressful lifestyles, everything was fine & dandy!!!!!!
The last part of the day was spent on the train out to the Devil's Throat and on the Argentinian side you are literally standing above with all the water cascading over the falls beneath you....the noise and the sight is just spectacular along with the ypnotic rainbows...even if we were sharing it with all the delegates from a big conference in suits (guess I should be used to that)!!!!! It was quite mad to see the old walkways out to the lookouts which had been washed away when the waters had got really high!!!! They've been designed now so when that happens, the maintenance people can dismantle the walkways really quickly and put them back again once the water has receded to a safe level! Ingenious eh? Resorting to the shade as our skin was frazzling in the sunshine, our second camera decided to play the dirty on us and conk out!!!!!! Not again I hear you say!!! We were just grateful that it had happened at the end of the day!!! If you're going travelling though....allow for camera breakages!!!! Grrrr! So all too soon the day was over and we jumped back on the train and back on the bus to Brazil!!!!! What an amazing experience!!!!

Inspiration and preparation produced a lot of perspiration, for just moments before we broke free from the inlet's grip, only a wall of white water loomed ahead of us. On the right was the too near Fire Island shore, to the left the breakers and then all of a sudden, up ahead to the south was a channel. There were some swells, one dip of the boat's bow and then we were in the calm Atlantic Ocean. You go through Moriches Inlet, and there's some turbulence and rocking down below and then you're out in open waters before you know it.
The allure of sailing is the sound and sight of being pushed through the water with only canvas, lines and skill to drive you. There is an "ancient" feel to it, making headway without the technology that fills most of our lives. The fear with sailing is that in any confrontation, the ocean wins. So the trick is to avoid conflict through patience, practice and the good sense to buy every nautical toy there is that might keep you afloat, including, but certainly not limited, to a Global Positioning System (GPS), laptop charting programs, automatic pilot, an inflatable life boat, EPIRB personal locator beacon, transponders, radar, sonar, flares, photon torpedoes, and phasers.
And then you plan - there are books to read and guides to ponder. The "Eldridge Tide and Pilot" book offers invaluable information about currents, tides and courses to take. On the paper charts or the mapping program on my laptop, you move your pencil or mouse and visualize your voyage and pleasure. But once underway, the BlownAway Too's Garmin GPS becomes the guide, for along with reporting the course and speed it also indicates every shipwreck, submerged rock and sea monster you will encounter along the way. Sailing is filled with contrasts, tensions between fulfillment and fear, ropes and readouts, sails and software.
The Great South Bay, the Atlantic, Block Island Sound, Gardiner's Bay, Plum Gut, the Long Island Sound, Hell's Gate, the East River, New York Harbor and then back to the Atlantic and home. Some boaters will read this list and cringe. Others will drool over the course while some will wonder why the rush to take all these beautiful waters in just eight days. This circumnavigation was a voyage of discovery, an exploration for future places to visit and linger at.
Montauk Harbor is a fisherman's home, where outriggers, coiled nets, and fish traps provide the dockside restaurants the daily catch and tables filled with happy diners. The Montauk Yacht Club on Lake Montauk was our home for the evening. They had us amid the mega-yachts and towering sport fishing cruisers, so clean, new and beautiful compared to the hardened hulls of the fishing trawlers which populate the other side of Star Island. Between these two stood the Coast Guard Station, a brick house of stability in the busy harbor. The wealth and glamour of the Yacht Club had its perks - fine dining, luxurious rooms, a spa, three swimming pools (both indoor and out) and other amenities that illustrate how five stars are earned. But the blue collar feel of the fishing boats tasted like an ageless era gone by, when rods and reels were all you needed for a day on the water, rather than laptops, a Blackberry, and sunblock.
Gardiner's Bay, the Island and the legends dominate my thoughts about the sail between Montauk and Greenport. We skirted the shore of this mysterious island, once a plantation paradise for the original owner Lion Gardiner. In 1639 he purchased it from his good friend Wyandanch, the shaman of the East End tribes, and also received a Royal Grant from King Charles I, establishing it as the first English settlement in New York State.
The Pirates of the Caribbean did not spend the summer down in southern waters off of America's coast. They visited New York and Gardiner's Island, both safe harbors where privateers and pirates could get provisions, new crew and a place to bury their booty. A monument stands on this island to Captain William Kidd, erected by his friend John Gardiner, the third Lord of the Manor. It commemorates the spot where the fabled Captain buried his treasure.
Over the centuries the Gardiner's have seen military invasions by two separate British fleets during the Revolutionary and War of 1812. During Prohibition, their island became a warehouse and haven for another sort of pirate, the likes of Al Capone and Dutch Schultz. Their offshore booty traveled through the East End towards the speakeasies of New York.
The Second World War militarized the East End, symbolized by the gigantic radar dish that still stands at Montauk Point. But just as impressive is the ancient stone fortress called "The Ruins" that juts out on the north side of Gardiner's, at Bostwick Point. Though a target for practicing pilots and gunners, it withstood those years to still protect this refuge from poachers, pirates, and prying eyes. No one is allowed on this island, six miles long and several wide. What remains of the original buildings, now hundreds of years old, or the Captain Kidd monument itself? Even the vast resources of Google could not produce even the text of what is written on the plaque or an image of the monument itself.
Southeast of Gardiner's, the sailing was easy. When close to shore, the wind stopped and so did we, for a swim, some lunch and a glimpse of a mystery island I would love to set foot upon. North of the island, our wind and course resumed and Shelter Island and Greenport loomed ahead.
The East End of 2008 is strangely devoid of power boaters, with dozens of sails dominating the seascape. But that changed when we arrived in the bustling harbor of Greenport. Every dock space and slip was filled with happy power boaters, drinks in hand, but they were swapping stories rather than making new ones.
The Town Dock at Mitchell Park is in the heart of the town itself. Pulling into the slip was like parallel parking on Main Street, which was just on the other side of the carousel. At dusk on thi

Seraya Resort has rebranded and rebuild since this post was originally written and it is no longer a budget resort. If you're on a budget, Kanawa (itself not very cheap) is now the only option to our knowledge. We plan to revisit both in mid 2015 to investigate!
The Flores Sea is dotted with glistening tropical islands. Some are home to high-end dive resorts, others to fishing villages, others still remain blissfully devoid of civilisation. Two islands however draw a steady stream of independent travellers — perched on the rim of Komodo National Park lies Kanawa Island and north of Labuan Bajo sits Seraya Island. But as you may not have time for two Floresian islands, the question is: which island should you pick? Kanawa or Seraya? We recently spent a spell on each — here's our take.
Let's start with the bad. Solely by accommodation standards, they are both overpriced. Both restaurants (and resorts for that matter) are ineptly managed — service is ludicrously slow and the dishes that arrive are often not what you ordered.
Continuing with the bad, neither place has regular electricity (generally evening only) and neither resort offers fans in the bungalows. This means the rooms get brain boilingly hot. At both places at least one of us ended up sleeping in the hammock. Neither island appears to have natural water — it's brought in by boat. If you're one who likes to have hour-long showers, don't be surprised by the surcharge for the water you hosed down the drain.
Neither resort has WiFi, ATMs or any other creature comforts. You'll get a very patchy Telkomsel 3G signal on both.
Now that we've got that out of our system… on with the good.
The off-the-beach snorkelling on both islands, Kanawa in particular, is fabulous. Kanawa was in fact the best snorkelling (in our admittedly novice career span) that we've ever experienced. Critter-wise we saw sharks, turtles and sea snakes on both islands. Kanawa has a dive shop — Seraya does not.
The beaches are beautiful. The sand is a slightly coarser grain on Seraya, but the main beaches on both these islands are pretty close to rustic A-grade in our opinion. Kanawa makes better use of shade trees, but some of the bungalows are back off the beach a little, while on Seraya, it's a single row — every one is beachfront.
Off the beach, both islands have hilltop viewpoints. In Kanawa's case the views, especially at sunset, really are just breathtaking and magical. Seraya doesn't give you the height Kanawa does, but we loved it all the same. For those looking to see how the locals are living, Seraya has a fishing village on it, Kanawa doesn't.
Back to the restaurants — and we should note this reflects our experience in shoulder season (April 2013). Kanawa has a far broader menu than Seraya and the food is generally better — especially if you want Western stuff like pizza. That said, we had absolutely mouthwatering fish on Seraya. Seraya's menu is extremely limited — like, do you want spaghetti or fried rice?
At both places, the prices did not strike us as unreasonable given the location. If you're a picky eater who flips out when the Coke is warm and the salad comes after the ice cream, take our word for it, you do not want to visit either of these islands. Guests are encouraged to pre-order, but even that yielded poor dividends for us. This probably isn't as big a deal for adults, but for those with kids, this can be trying. Drinks on the other hand are prompt and cold. Seraya's booze range was very extensive, encompassing Bintang, Bintang and more Bintang, while Kanawa stretched to wine.
Activities is where Kanawa comes into its own. For starters they have a dive shop. Seraya doesn't have one. Kanawa also runs daily trips to points of interest like Rinca, Komodo, Makassar Reef and so on. These are competitively priced and because the island is often busy, you'll generally not have to wait around a day or two for the trip to go. On Seraya, it's much more a case of roll your own. They list a range of trips on their board, but they go, well, whenever. We had a memorable conversation with the manager where we asked which was the better island to visit for snorkelling. The response: "I don't know." Useful. Their trips are, like Kanawa's, well priced, but also bear in mind that you're an extra hour away from Komodo here, which means an extra two hours on the boat.
Then there are the rooms. Kanawa has more options — camping, bale bales (basically shacks with four walls that can be rolled up with a mossie net and shared bathroom), old bungalows and new bungalows. Seraya on the other hand, has camping (high season only) and a bunch of rustic huts — hammocks extra and string-up-yourself. There were some solid looking chalets, but they weren't open for business when we visited.
As already mentioned, the lack of electricity and a fan means the rooms on both islands get very, very hot at night. This actually makes the bale bales on Kanawa a tempting deal — if you're happy with shared facilities, they're the best pick. Kanawa's newer bungalows have a daybed out front and are absolutely worth the extra money. Kanawa has the better bathrooms. Seraya is saltwater bucket for flushing (you fill your own bucket out of the ocean) while at Kanawa it's all piped in, but the fresh water is rationed at both. Bathrooms at each have open ceilings.
The vibe at Kanawa is much more activities based. It was humming with people, even in April, and there were always things happening — people snorkelling, coming and going, dive classes, kids running around, punters waiting in the restaurant and so on. Seraya is MUCH more chilled out. Guests walk down to the water's edge to fill the bathroom bucket with seawater, then maybe lay in a hammock for a while.
For us, each has a distinct appeal. We love the accessibility of the tours on Kanawa and the food (when it arrived and was correct) is good. Staff are also sociable and helpful. If you want to do stuff and meet people, this is a good option.
At Seraya, staff are not unfriendly, but they're just not very interested in helping you enjoy your trip more — but we kind of liked that. It's very much a DIY kind of place — want to lay in the hammock all day? Do it. It reminded us a lot of one of the old cheap rundown joints that used to exist in Thailand.
For many a choice will come down to price. If you're on a tight budget, Seraya has the edge, with bungalows going for 260,000 rupiah in low season and 300,000 rupiah during high. On Kanawa you're looking at 175,000 to camp, 200,000 for a bale bale, 450,000 for an old bungalow and 550,000 for a new bungalow. Yes, you read that right — 550,000 rupiah for a cold water beach bungalow with no fan and limited electricity.
If you're happy with shared bathrooms and want a more social vibe, go for a bale bale on Kanawa. If you want your own (admittedly grotty) bathroom and can't afford 450,000, then head to Seraya.
A final word: we stayed at both these in April 2013, and April is shoulder season for Flores. Kanawa was full — we had to change rooms three times in five nights. Seraya was almost empty — three rooms were taken. But the staff at Seraya said that in July and August (peak season) they have 80 people staying there, many camping on the beach. We'd imagine high season on either island to be an extremely different experience to the one we had — frankly, we'd skip it and go next April.

The embezzlers' fraud wheelhouse contains a classic tool for "misappropriating funds" from their employers: the ghost employee. Simply put, "The term ghost employee refers to someone on the payroll who does not actually work for the victim company." (2015 Fraud Examiners Manual, 1.456) Ghost employees are miracles of physics: they might or might not exist and companies don't employ them, yet they draw regular paychecks.
As of March 2015, 2,905 businesses were on the exclusions list. These companies — and any other legitimate businesses that use their services — can't submit bills for services to a U.S. federal government health program (such as Medicare or Medicaid, among others) for payment.
In many ways, Edith Chase fit one of the stereotypes of the traditional embezzler. She was a middle-aged woman in a mid-level accounting/bookkeeping job at a smallish business — wallpaper to most of the rest of the company after almost three decades of stolid, reliable work.
Organizations' procurement of goods and services — through electronic bidding processes — can save money and increase efficiency. But it can also add risks plus inflict major fraud damage when staffs betray employers' trust. Here's how to overcome trust breaches and fight fraud in digital and human networks.
Before you begin your résumé and draft cover letters, you need to do a self-assessment and ask yourself four questions. Your honest answers will help you move into the next phase of your job hunt. (These questions are also important for new CFEs and those looking to change careers.)
Condo homeowners' environments can be incubators of fraud because volunteers comprise the boards that oversee the collection of large sums of money, and they might not properly manage these funds for the benefit of clueless residents.
The principle characteristic of a Ponzi is that earlier investors are paid with money from later ones. That is what the notorious Carlo Ponzi did in the 1920s by promising investors that they would double their money in 90 days.
As a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and paralegal for a financial crime prosecution unit, I've testified in six criminal trials, and they were always educational. In fact, being cross-examined by a defense attorney in a criminal trial is one of the best ways to learn how to become a better CFE.

Does immediate bilateral reconstruction poise additional risks for a smoker?
Risks from Immediate Bilateral Reconstruction
Doctor Answers 5
Immediate Breast Reconstruction in a Smoker
I would recommend delaying your reconstruction until you can be off cigarettes for 2 weeks before surgery and 4 weeks after surgery. Breast Reconstruction is elective surgery. As your surgeon, I have the duty to provide you with the safest procedure with minimal risk and downtime. Active smoking carries too high a risk to consider immediate reconstruction. Consult with your primary care physician to determine the optimal smoking cessation aid for you. I wish you all the best.

Risks from immediate bilateral reconstruction
Yes smokers have a higher statistical risks of skin necrosis and infection. You should discuss in detail with the reconstructive surgeon so you are informed.
From MIAMI DR. B
Smoking GREATLY increases Complications of Immediate Breast Reconstruction
Smoking, either first or second degree, is associated with a decreased amount of blood flow through the skin. Immediate breast reconstruction in smokers has a significant rate of complications which could be otherwise decreased or avoided.

Smoking increases the complication rate of surgery in some studies by more than 50% as compared to the non-smoking population. I would stop smoking first.
Smooking and surgery
There is a risk of wound healing with or without immediate breast reconstruction.
The degree of risk varies with the method of reconstruction.
I would not do an immediate breast reconstruction on a smooker.

I look forward to it as well.... we should be there sometime July 10-11 and staying until July 13.

Just send out the address please and I will hold it until then. Hope you have a great time on vacation, hopefully you can get some stuff put away before you leave.
How many people and sets are in this swap? Is anyone still working on the blocks? I am just wondering if there are enough people to swap out 6 sets.
I have 6 sets done
Two sets done here but slowed down since there did not seem activity or people on this thread any more. encouraging to see others are done or are still working on their sets. So do you think there will be enough so those that do 6 sets can trade all out? I am making actually 7 of each, keeping 1, and hoping to swap all blocks out for different blocks and different colors. I like making scrappy quilts. Thank you all for posting.
I have made one set and am working on another two sets .... hopefully will get 4 done by deadline. Since they are not due to Traci until the end of July, I have set them aside to work on other projects. By the time Traci returns from vacation I will be in batik block mode again .....
So far I have two and a half sets done. One set that I was using different fabrics for each block I ended up making a bunch of one color way that I really liked and completed the top a bit ago. Now to get back to the set I was working on when I ran out of aqua thread.
Grand daughter has been here this week and it's sewing, have enjoyed it so much. Then Elisabrat and Steve have moved here from CA and she is getting settled. Will try to take some pics tomorrow of my blocks so you can see them. Made all 6 sets a different color , but each set is the same colors.
I've got 4 sets done. I'm thinking I might need to back out of the last 2 sets. It all depends on how this week goes, I suppose.

Earlier today we saw some pretty fab pictures of celebs at the Vogue party in Los Angeles. Apparently, everyone who wasn't there was totally on the East Coast kickin' it at the 29th Annual Fashion Group International Night Of Stars at Cipriani on Wall Street. Sarah Jessica Parker, Renée Zellweger (where's she been?!), Kelly Ripa (and her painfully handsome hubby Mark Consuelos who is so hot he lit'rally just forced me to use the ridiculous phrase 'painfully handsome'), Viola Davis, and Selita Ebanks were all in the building. Selita Ebanks is flawless, so there's that to deal with on a Friday night in. And I thought SJP looked pretty sweet too. Peep the gallery for more!

This past Sunday, 250,000 spectators celebrated the unofficial start to summer with car racing's biggest event—the Indianapolis 500. The 500-mile race, known as the Indy 500, is held every year in Indianapolis, Indiana, during Memorial Day weekend. It features a maximum of 33 cars on a 2.5-mile speedway. This year, Ryan Hunter-Reay made history as the first American to take home the winning trophy since 2006. "I'm a proud American boy, that's for sure," he said after the race. For his efforts, Hunter-Reay took home a $2.49 million prize.
Win for the U.S.A.
The Indy 500, called the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing," was held on May 25 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Hunter-Reay won with a 220.927 mph final lap against Brazil's Helio Castroneves. By just 0.060 seconds, Hunter-Reay stopped Castroneves from taking his fourth Indy 500 championship title. It was the second-closest finish in Indy 500 history. The closest was in 1992, when American racer Al Unser Jr. beat Canadian Scott Goodyear by 0.043 seconds.
Hunter-Reay finished on top, but began the race in a low position. He started 19th out of 33 cars, and made his final move with an inside pass to seize the lead. With less than half a car length on his opponent, Hunter-Reay crossed the finish line to take the win. "It was a great fight," said Castroneves. "I was having a great time."
Traditions on the Track
Since 1911, the world's top race-car drivers have started their engines at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Unlike the American racing series NASCAR, the Indy 500 is an international race. It features drivers from all over the world in a high-speed, no-contact competition. The goal is to be the first driver to make it 200 times around the 2.5-mile oval track.
Traditions rule at the race. The winner is presented with the Borg-Warner trophy, which stands about 5 feet, 5 inches tall, and weighs approximately 110 pounds. The trophy was first presented in 1936. It is decorated with silver models of the face of each Indy 500 winner since the race began, and has been designed with enough space to add the winners through 2034.
Before accepting the Borg-Warner trophy, the champion is presented with a decorative wreath and a bottle of milk. This funny tradition began with Indy 500 winner Louis Meyer, who drank buttermilk on warm days. After his championship 1936 race, Meyer drank some at the finishing area of the track, known as Victory Lane. A newspaper photographer captured the moment on film, and it became tradition for the race's champion to drink milk in Victory Lane. Hunter-Reay was no exception. He celebrated by taking a swig of milk and pouring it over his head as well, making his win legen-dairy in more ways than one.

They're back. Again. And this time round, the new Stooges album is a step up in intensity and far more interesting than 2007's hit-and-miss The Weirdness. The best thing about that album, the band's first since 1973's classic Raw Power, was having them back, because it meant Iggy and the other 1967 originals, drummer Scott Asheton and guitarist Ron Asheton, hit the road again playing all the oldies and the goodies. That included two visits to the Big Day Out, the first in 2006 being a particularly devastating and dangerous performance courtesy of Iggy throwing his sinewy body and flailing limbs around the stage.
On Ready to Die, the only original survivors are now Iggy and Scott Asheton, as brother Ron died in 2009, but they are also rejoined by guitarist James Williamson (who joined in 1970) and 70s saxophone player Steve Mackay.
Right from the start of Ready to Die, opener Burn has the caustic mangling and abrasive steeliness of old, and Iggy is in fine voice, with that deep throaty groan building to a more melodic holler and occasionally escalating into a wild scream.
He sure doesn't sound ready to die on the arse-shaking groove of Sex & Money, and the subtle sleaze of the saxophone and quick-fire hand claps will have you ripping your top off and writhing and grinding right down to the floor.
The only weak link is Job, which sounds as basic and workmanlike as the title suggests. But then it fires back up for Gun, the band's anti-gun anthem with droll lines like "If I had a f***in gun, I could shoot everyone.", Dirty Deal is a wildly bluesy, Stones-style outing, and on Unfriendly Friend they slip into singer-songwriter country cabaret band territory, with Iggy as a sweet, passionate crooner.
Most surprising of all is the pomp and grandeur of Beat That Guy, and the beautiful folky baroque-meets-haunting slide guitar homage to Ron Asheton on The Departed (although listen hard at the beginning of the latter - there is a delectable hint of I Wanna Be Your Dog).
So it's still not Raw Power or Fun House or The Stooges, but hell, Ready to Die is great stuff. They're a bunch of refined songs that not only showcase the Stooges' elder statesmen status, but they're songs that sound well lived-in, and lean and mean, just like Iggy himself.
Stars: 4/5
Verdict: Still dangerous with some surprises on fifth album from original punk rockers

— Dimitri & Kendra
It's always good to get recommendations for things you want in life especially something as important as this. We could not have been happier with our choice of Pastor Tom to officiate our wedding. He understood what was needed and was able to give direction through confusion and did it with a sense of humor that it put everyone at ease as well as in laughter. We could tell that we were in a very serious situation and he made us feel good about our decision to get married and to choose him to perform the ceremony. His beautiful wife was such a pleasure and a help in making sure things were as we wanted them to be. What a team! They are two people from your wedding that your guest probably won't forget due to their warmth, professionalism, and fun. You will always be made to feel that you are at the center of attention, yet people will feel that your choosing of Pastor Tom was like someone you found in Hollywood to do a movie wedding. Everyone who talks to us about our wedding mentions Pastor Tom and his wife as making it a memorable occasion.
— Kevin and Susie

We also appreciate them driving all this way for our wedding rehearsal and ceremony. We were blessed to have found such warm, wonderful, fun-loving person to officiate our wedding.
— Jennifer & Fernan
Pastor Tom has connections. While we were standing in the pouring rain waiting for David and limo to bring Tracy, Pastor Tom prayed for a break in rain for the ceremony. Just before the limo pulled up the rain stopped! They had a beautiful, moving ceremony.
— Larry
It is always a pleasure talking to you. You make me laugh every time - I thank you. We would like to invite you & your wife to join us after the ceremony at the El Dorado Hotel & Kitchen for the reception.
— Brian and Ying
We would just like to thank you Pastor Tom and First Lady Roxanna for being a part of our wedding at Embassy Suites, Napa. Your sense of humor and kindness made our wedding day memorable and comfortable (it was the first time our families met). And knowing that the donations go towards helping children shows how genuinely good people you are. We would definitely recommend you to any of our families and friends. Thanks again!
— Lisa and Jonathan

Microsoft Office for iPad? Microsoft Moves to Kill OnLive's Free Workaround
Jason Mick
March 10, 2012 8:49 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Matt Groening/20th Century Fox)
Paid version may survive, but will likely see licensing-induced price bump
Imagine if you could enjoy Adobe Systems Inc.'s (
forbidden Flash and PDFs
on your iPad. Now imagine if your device from Apple, Inc. (
) could also use Microsoft Corp.'s (
Office (MSO) suite of productivity apps
This dream is reality, thanks to OnLive, an enterprising startup who created an iPad app that leverages remote virtualization to deliver the missing functionality over high-speed gigabit internet connections. OnLive's
free service
launched in January, offering users free Office access.
In February it added the "Desktop Plus" service. Priced at $4.99/month, the upgrade ditched ads and eliminated annoying waits to get access to the remote Windows 7 desktop. And it added Adobe PDF reading and Flash compatibility, plus 2 GB of storage.
But OnLive's remote Windows 7 virtualization solution may be in jeopardy. In a blog posted on March 8 Microsoft worlwide licensing VP, Joe Matz,
Microsoft partners who host under the Services Provider License Agreement ("SPLA") may bring some desktop-like functionality as a service by using Windows Server and Remote Desktop Services. Under this solution, the partner is free to offer this service to any customer they choose, whether or not they have a direct licensing agreement with Microsoft. However, it is important to note that SPLA does not support delivery of Windows 7 as a hosted client or provide the ability to access Office as a service through Windows 7. Office may only be provided as a service if it is hosted on Windows Server and Remote Desktop Services.
He then specifically addresses the elephant in the room -- OnLive's Desktop app. Writes Mr. Matz:
Some inquiries about these scenarios have been raised as a result of recent media coverage related to OnLive's Desktop and Desktop Plus services. Additionally, the analyst firm Gartner
raised questions
regarding the compliance of these services last week. We are actively engaged with OnLive with the hope of bringing them into a properly licensed scenario, and we are committed to seeing this issue is resolved.
Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean game over for the promising service. Unlike Apple who
tries to ban disruptive companies
, Microsoft tends to try to
bring them into the licensing fold
. However, it sounds like OnLive will need to buy a whole license per user to avoid litigation regarding its remote hosting scheme.
That means that while the service may survive, the free version is almost certainly dead, except perhaps on a trial-driven basis. And likely any paid version will be much more expensive than it currently is.
There have been many rumors that Microsoft is
preparing its own direct port
of Office to the iPad and Android. However,
Apple's iPad 3 launch
came and went without any announcement from Microsoft. Microsoft did recently launch a OneNote app for Android and iOS. However, it is uncertain whether or not the rumored iOS Office Suite will come to be, given that it could remove one of the biggest selling points of Microsoft's
coming Windows 8 tablets

"You can bet that Sony built a long-term business plan about being successful in Japan and that business plan is crumbling." -- Peter Moore, 24 hours before his Microsoft resignation

CVS Pharmacy has agreed to pay $13.75 million in civil penalties as part of a settlement over hazardous waste disposal violations, according to the Solano County District Attorneys office.
In Solano's nine CVS stores, those violations include improper disposal of oil and pesticide containers, batteries and fluorescent light bulbs, Solano County environmental health manager Terry Schmidtbauer said. The Solano District Attorney along with 43 other California district attorneys, and city attorneys in San Diego and Los Angeles announced a settlement had been filed in Ventura County Superior Court.
The suit was filed against CVS Pharmacy Inc., which is headquartered in Woonsocket, R.I.
Cris Gonzalez, Solano senior deputy attorney in the consumer and environmental crimes unit, said the two-year local investigation was a "large team effort that involved a lot of work. CVS was very cooperative and we had good results."
Penalties levied here will cover, "all the costs that went into the effort" to investigate and prosecute the retail giant, she said.
The settlement resolves allegations that CVS violated California laws for the safe storage, handling and disposal of waste.
That waste included pharmaceuticals, pharmacy waste, photo waste containing silver and other waste from spills and customer returns of hazardous products.
Locally, county investigators found CVS Pharmacy stores did not use proper waste containers, and had little, if no, documentation of disposal practices, Solano County Hazardous Materials Supervisor Matthew Geisert said.
In some cases, staff at Solano retail outlets simply placed items considered hazardous waste into Dumpsters behind the stores, Geisert said.
Once in the Dumpsters the waste went straight to landfills.
Those practices have been stopped, he added.
Under terms of a settlement, CVS Pharmacy will pay $38,500 to Solano County in civil penalties and cost recovery to the county environmental health division, and $256,500 in civil penalties and cost recovery to the Solano DA's office.

Alvaro Parente driving the No.52 Ferrari 458 Italia in the GTE professional class went off at the Ford chicane, causing heavy damage to the car.
Tonight was all about qualifying for the 24 Hours of Le Mans for Ram Racing but unfortunately just 30 minutes into the final two and a half hour session, Alvaro Parente driving the No.52 Ferrari 458 Italia in the GTE professional class went off at the Ford chicane, causing heavy damage to the car. Thankfully Alvaro escaped without injury and the team is currently assessing the damage.
Alvaro Parente No. 52: "We were on for a good lap and the Ford chicane is a part of the circuit where you can make up good time. Unfortunately, I braked a little bit too late and the pedal was a little bit long from the earlier kerbs and the rear just snapped on me. I tried to catch it, but it was too late, and I spun into the gravel and hit the tyre barrier. It was quite a heavy impact. The team has worked really hard, and now they have more work to do, so I am really disappointed for them."
The sister car of Mowlem, Patterson and Hamilton ran well all evening and the team worked through a number of set up changes, tyre evaluation and fuel analysis. They qualified the No.53 GTE Am in 11th for the 82nd running of the world's fastest and toughest endurance race.
Mark Patterson No. 53: " With 50 plus cars on the grid it was always going to be challenging but our engineers always keep us back so that we could find some room and have an open lap for a couple of laps. I feel very comfortable in the car. The set up is great. The Michelin tyres are great. It really doesn't matter where you start for a 24 hour race, but Johnny has had us running in the top five so we are optimistic."
Dan Shufflebottom, CEO Ram Racing: "It was a tough qualifying session for us tonight. We were pretty confident that both cars would perform well after all the hard work and effort that the team has put in this week. Unfortunately, Alvaro just overcooked it a little going into the Ford chicane and lost the rear of the car. We wanted him to push as hard as possible and that's what he was doing, and sometimes these things happen. We're still assessing the damage and once we know the extent of it, then we will make a decision. I've no doubt that if we can repair the car we will. After that we decided to play it a little bit safer with the No.53 and make sure we had a clean qualifying session. They have great pace so I'm sure they will be right in the mix come Saturday."

Boxcino Tournament Results
By Sam Geraci at ringside
ESPN2's "Boxcino 2014" tournament resumed on Friday night at Harrah's Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana, with the quarterfinals of middleweight portion of the competition.
Willie Monroe Jr. (16-1, 6 KOs) outpointed Donatas Bondas (18-5-1, 6 KOs) over six rounds. Bondas pressed the action, but Monroe got the nod by scores of 58-56, 59-55, 59-55.
Unbeaten Vitalii Kopylenko (22-0, 12 KOs) scored a second round TKO over Cerresso Fort (17-3-1, 11 KOs). Kopylenko dropped Fort in round two and the bout was waved off moments later. Time was :43.
Raymond Gatica (14-2, 8 KOs) stopped previously unbeaten Sena Agbeko (15-1,15 KOs) in round four. Gattica staggered Agbeko in round three, but seemed to punch himself out. A rejuvenated Gattica came out with a barrage of punches in round four to get the stoppage. Time was 1:06.
Brandon Adams (13-0, 9 KOs) scored a fifth round TKO over Daniel Edouard (23-5-2, 14 KOs) when Edouard chose not to continue at the beginning of round five. Adams dropped Edouard with a left hook in round four.

Inspired by the best-selling cleat in the game, the Burn Series was built to maximize speed and protection. The 3-piece elbow guard provides unbelievable flexibility during flexion and extension of the arm without sacrificing any protection. The segmented design allows the pad to bend to the natural curve of your arm for an increase in fit and comfort. All of Warrior's Burn Pads feature the VPS, No-Slip Gel Print and Chill Wave technologies. These innovations are allowing players to become better, faster and more physical on the field.
The VPS is Warrior's exclusive Vented Protection System. The system stresses the 3 keys in protection design; Decrease the weight, provide maximum air flow, and increase protection along the entire surface of the pad.
The No-Slip Gel Print is a specialized grip print found inside arm pads that help prevent slipping and sliding during play.
The Chill Wave is Warrior's top of the line internal moisture management liner. It not only wicks away moisture but is also lined with a cooling agent that makes the pad feel cool to the touch for unbelievable comfort.
Set the field on fire with the Burn Elbow Guards from Warrior Lacrosse.

Last nights dinner was fantastico, 3 courses of al la carte but the wine is questionable !! from Washington, Chile and South Africa !! had a bottle of Riesling from Washington (cheapest $33 US) last night, was a little too sweet but pleasant enough. Will attempt a Californian Red tonight with dinner as it might be a better choice.
After wonderful Italian (Lasio and Tuscan)Sangiovese wine over the last 2 weeks we have been spoiled.
I am enjoying the carona's on the ship as its much cheaper than the wine although the cocktails are cheap enough !!
Bruce did Karaoke last night , was the first one up to sing for the night !! did well.
Bari is a lovely old city but closes today (Sunday) so we got a lovely Italian guy to take us around the town in a rickshaw !! lazy I know but we did walk back !! returned to ship to hit the spa, relax and update travel pod.

Grant Lichtman
Nationally recognized thought leader in the drive to transform K-12 education, Grant speaks, writes, and works with fellow educators to build capacity and comfort with innovation in response to a rapidly changing world. He works with school and community teams in both public and private schools, helping them to develop their imagination of schools of the future, and their places in that future.
#EdJourney: A Roadmap to the Future of Education takes a fresh look at our nation's schools, eschewing the negativity so often found in the world of education today. While on my solo road trip across the United States I discovered that there are brushfires of innovation burning brightly in many K-12 schools.
I give many keynote addresses, but
I would rather work WITH educators than just speak AT them. Since 2012 I have been traveling the country, and now the world, sharing my knowledge base with large and small audiences of teachers, administrators, trustees, parents, students, and interested members of the wider community.
Working With Schools
Forward leaning educators understand that school organizations need change at a foundational, a systems level, if we hope to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. Static, top-down, "this-year-is-the-same-as-last" thinking must be replaced by a vastly more nimble, evolutionary, dynamic process of strategic visioning and implementation. This is what I do.
Listen to Grant's interview with Nick DiNardo on the Meet Education Project about the evolving learning ecosystem; keys to school innovation; and more.

» Urine Marking & House Soiling
This morning my cat pooped outside his litter box.
My cat has never pooped outside his box. I wasnt happy about it because I had also stepped on it, the poop was soft but not slippery or hard either, and there was a bunch of little plops of it in one area. Oddly enough me and my Fiance had heard Moose, the cat, scratching inside his litter box so we had thought he did it inside. I had spanked him and told him no, and that it was a bad thing to do, but now he doesnt want to come out of hiding and when he does he runs back to under the couch or bed. Ive noticed he wont eat much at all and he is timid once again, because even when i held him later on he wasnt too sure that it was alright. Is something wrong with my cat or do I have to win back his approval?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Firstly, when a cat goes outside of the liter box it is uaully a sign of illness or distress!
And if kitty is ill, spanking him is certainly not going to fix things, Hes hiding just now because youve given him physical punishment to which he just sees as plain aggression from yourself, its likely it will take him some time to come round, but most importantly, get on the phone to the vets for an appointment, or phone chat with your vet to rule out any health issues.
He may have simply misssed the box, or not gotten there in time, please insure you have more than one box for him in opposite ends of the house and in a quiet private place away form the main part of the house.
Hope he is ok!
Batfink answered on 12/7/12. Helpful? / 0
Batfink is exactly right. Unfortunately, you realized after the fact that spanking Moose solved nothing and scared the bejeezus out of him because he didn't know why he was getting hit. The hiding could also be because he doesn't feel well. If he has a stomach ache, he may think the box was causing it. I hope that by smacking him, you didn't make the situation worse and now he'll be afraid of the box. If it's a small box and he's a big cat, try getting a larger box. For right now, leave him alone. He's probably scared of you. When he does come out, praise him in a soft, kind voice. Don't touch him unless he comes up to you for pets. If he checks out OK with the vet, a small can of tuna might not hurt your case, either. Keep in mind that not eating and hiding are two big signs of illness. Call your vet as soon as you can and get him in. And let us know how he's doing.

Thus is a sign of disease and illness and punishment to Moose.Its bad to spank a cat like that and cruelty to animals aswell is bad.Try staying away from Moose until Moose is ok with you.If you spank him again he could end up running away.There is absoloutly NOTHING wrong with Moose.The litterbox thing is that you might need a larger litterbox or if you don't do refills to the litterbox then it is because your cat has no where else to poop or pee and will do it outside of the litterbox.Make sure you do daily refills each time it gets full or deep.Try treating your cat better too!

Adventure clothing retailer
In June, Kathmandu said full-year earnings could fall between 10 per cent and 15 per cent on a year ago due to warmer winter weather.
But on Friday, it upgraded its forecast net profit after tax and said it now expects it to be in the range of $39.5 million to $42.5 million, down on the $44.2 million for the previous year.
Kathmandu's full-year result for the 2014 financial year ending July 31 will be released on September 23, but total sales of $392.9 million are expected, up $8.9 million, or 2.3 per cent, on the previous year, with same store sales expected to be up 4.2 per cent.
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) is expected to be in the range of $62.5 million to $65.5 million, compared with $63.4 million for the previous year.
A colder July across both Australia and New Zealand, particularly in the second half of the month, allowed the retailer to recover a significant part of their initial sales shortfall, the company said.
Chief executive
"The improvement in sales and earnings in July once colder winter weather became established has resulted in a satisfactory outcome for our key winter sale event," said Mr Halkett in a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

Mel Gibson – Mago Island, Fiji
The idyllic tropical islands of Fiji have long been a favoured vacation spot for residents of Down Under, and Australia native Mel Gibson no doubt agrees. Joining other Fijian island owners like the billionaire founder of Red Bull Energy Drinks, the actor purchased Mago Island in 2005 for a reported US $9M. A member of the northern Lau Group, the price tag sounds like a lot until you take into account that Mago is 5,400 acres, one of the largest privately-owned islands in the South Pacific, and virtually the size of a small country. Almost completely untouched and uninhabited aside from a few Fijian caretakers, one has to wonder what Gibson intends to do with this massive isle? Environmentalists can breathe a sigh of relief, because the actor has stated that he wants to leave the island in its pristine state aside from a modest personal residence.

Anyone tried running the new Michelin Pilot Super Sport in alternate sizes (since they continue to NOT make it in our OEM size)? I know normally we all try to go the next size up, but I was noticing that they make a 245/40 - 275/35 combo that would work on the OEM wheels, is 1% smaller on the tire calculator, but damn affordable for what I keep hearing is a fantastic tire. Certainly would not be any clearance issues. There is also the 255/35 - 295/30 combo as well which if I had the Coupe rear wheels would be perfect, but I don't (Vagon instead), so I am not sure if that would overtire the rear wheel.
Just curious if anyone has any feedback on the Super Sports in smaller/larger sizes. I was close to pulling the trigger on either a set of Continental Extreme Contact DW or Proxes 1 tires in the stock sizes, when I saw the price on the Super Sports was comparable, albeit in different sizes.

Who We Are
Northwest Keeshond Rescue is a non-profit organization consisting of a select group of foster homes who take in unwanted or homeless Keeshonden from individuals and shelters until an ideal home can be found. We are all volunteers whose purpose is to benefit and promote the Keeshonden breed.
Adopting a friend
Northwest Keeshond Rescue believes that adopting a Keeshond is a very special event. We try to match up the best homes to the best dogs. All dogs are fostered in a home situation, so we are better able to match up homes and dogs appropriately. We welcome you to schedule a time to meet one of our available Keeshonden or to contact us with any questions about this breed. You must be willing to come to the home where the dog is being fostered or another close by place where the dog will be comfortable for the first meeting. We only adopt to homes within driving distance of the Portland metro area. Adoption fees are $300-$400 and an application and adoption contract are required. All Kees are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations and have begun basic obedience training. Only under very special circumstances would a Keeshond be adopted to a home who has not met that Keeshond at least twice, so you must be within driving distance of the Portland area to apply. A home check and references are also required.

In one of Amy Klobuchar's first ads of the 2012 campaign, she highlights her vote to save the American auto industry, and for good reason: The initiative saved around a million jobs. In Klobuchar's ad, auto dealer — and Republican — Paul Walser speaks on her behalf, saying "I really believe in her as a public servant."
Kurt Bills told MPR he would have opposed saving the auto industry, which would have been absolutely disastrous for our economy. Trying to turn his foolish stand to his advantage, Bills claimed Klobuchar supported saving the auto industry so she could get Walser's donation:
"I don't know why you do an ad like that," Bills said. "It's showing you're a crony capitalist. You're going to side with the people who can fill your campaign coffers up."
Sigh. No, Mr. Bills. It shows that people value results over abstract ideology. Nobody cares about your ideological basis for saying you'd have let the American auto industry collapse; they're simply going to vote for the person who saved a million jobs, including their own.
Bills apparently doesn't believe that a vote to save a million jobs is a principled vote, so he opts for a horribly cynical explanation. In fairness to Bills, a quick check of FEC records shows that Walser did donate to Klobuchar. So maybe Klobuchar didn't do all of this to save a million jobs. Maybe she did it to earn the $200 that Paul Walser donated to her. What do you think?

427 HP q'S
1966 427 bored .06 over eagle forged racing rotating assembly 4.375 stroke and 6.385 rods with JE SRP 18cc Dome Piston (~10.5:1 w/ 118cc) heads. Perfect Circle or Mahle Plasma Premium Performance Rings. Clevite or King Competition Series Rod and Main Bearings. with patriot performance aluminum heads. 119cc combustion chamber. rectangle intake ports and round exhaust ports. 320cc intake runners. 2.25 intake valves and 1.88 exhaust valves. wiend tunnel ram intake with duall holley 450 or 600 cfm carbs. im not sure what would be a good cam but heads allow up to .7 lift. how much hp approx? and any cam suggestions?
Hmmm, 3200 bucks just for the heads....this could be a very expensive build.
Will everything clear with a 4.375 stroke? Is there an off the shelf piston for that combo? Might find that 4.375" stroke pistons start out at about 4.5" bore.
double post
mudbogger yes those pistons come in a kit im purchasing from adperformance that is an all forged eagle racing kit that i can order .06 over. :thumbup:
yes tech inspector, nova's right there a pair for that price. but the engine is goin to cost me about 5500 after its done eventually i plan on supercharging it but that a couple years after i finish pilot school :D
so can any1 give me a ball park hp rating on that engine???
Hmmm might have to pick one up myself!
ya its a good deal at 1800.00 but can anyone please answer my post questions on approx. horsepower?
Do not buy those heads. they are the China casting heads that they re-work..
Spend a few hundred more and get a set of Edelbrocks,,,, you will thank me for it later.
Hp guess is just that, a guess. You can run the numbers on desk top dyno and get 575 hp...then strap that engine on a real calibrated dyno and pull 425 hp...
There are just way to many things that dictate what hp the engine is going to actually make.
I ahve a program that if you tell it the truth will get you with-in 3% of a calibrated dyno for HP,but i need way more info then you gave to even start entering numbers.
At 17 years old my question would be, how much HP do you need, and what do you need it for???
well i think itl be more than that just cause it started off life as a 390hp engine and im boring it .06 over and stroking .35 in over stock and getting alumin big valve and runner heads i think im just hoping that droping that much money in it will get me mid 600's hp wise and its goin in a street/strip 1956 f100. even though im only 17 please dont underestimate me guys.
Sorry, Lousy mood!
look man im not wanting to start crap with you ok im just tryin to learn as i go ok geez liten up
Depending on head flow cam etc. you could end up between 375 and 800 hp it just all depends on choices made.The important ? first is what do you intend to use the truck for? strip only? street/strip, cruiser daily driver? this question must be answered then we can proceed from there.
thanx barnym17 its goin in a street strip truck but its mainly gunna be on the street and its a 1956 f100 short bed stepside

We bought 2 nuks brought them back 5 hr drive .(warm weather tried to make sure they stayed cool and ventlated the best we could )When we got home gently moved the frames to our hive bodies there was no visible damage from the move . The hive are behind the house morning sun afternoon shade plenty of forage
Nuk A had 3 full frames brood honey caped cells did't study to carefully. I just wanted them to settle down and make them selves at home enough trauma .
Nuk B was light on the one of the frames the out side of one frame was near bare . And also 1/2 as many bees as the other nuk plus this nuk had 2 supercedural cells on the middle of the middle frame .
Nuk A & B both seemed to expand in numbers very well . We have a top feeder in both just to make they have enough .
Yesterday afternoon ( a little over a week home ) stopped to watch the hives and noticed the queen was dead out side the hive with 5-10 bees around her . They basically drug her to the edge and tossed her out .
I opened the hive up remembering it had the queen cells wanted to see if they were there or if she had emerged . I couldnt find a trace of the big cells i had seen a week before . So far no weird hums or actions from the hive B . There was alot of building that has happened in a week on the frames . All the frames were totally covered with bees 4:00 about
I have read where they can abort a supercedueral when hives have changes .
Me and my wife are to new of beekeepers for this . Since this is the smaller of the 2 nuks we are very concerned !
1 How long do we wait to take action?

Some people are motivated to follow through by the thought of a reward, or other types of positive reinforcement, and some are motivated by wanting to avoid the negative consequences associated with failing. And a new alarm app for your smartphone might be a really effective tool for helping those in the second category to get out of bed, because if they oversleep, it hits them where it hurts the worst – the wallet.
Dollarm, a free iPhone app, uses your own money to motivate you to wake up on time, because the longer you sleep in, the more money you lose. Set up the app by adding some money to your Dollarm account, then decide how soon you'd like to get up after the alarm goes off, and choose how much money one extra minute of sleep will cost you. The app will wake you with not only the sound of the alarm, but also with the sound of coins falling, reminding you that, at least in your case, time is money.
And so you won't just slap blindly at the alarm and go back to sleep, Dollarm also requires you to solve a simple math problem to turn off the alarm.
Find out more at Dollarm, or download the free app at the iTunes store. The app comes with one dollar already credited to your account, but you'll want to add some funds to it so you have some skin in the game.
