Date of Stay: August, 2016
The above rate is for a 30 amp FHU site. They also offer w/e sites and 50 amp. We are staying here for a month. This is a very different type of KOA. It is basically a fishing camp with some folks living here permanently and others who leave their rigs here and come out on week-ends. Everyone is very friendly from the staff to the permanent residents. Our site is large enough for our rv, boat and truck. Pull through sites. Room for tents and cabins for rent. There is a Flamingo Grill on site and a well stocked convenience store. Also a huge bookstore. The park is a very convenient stop and has a lot of overnight traffic. The lake is just down the road and is busy with boaters and fisherpeople. We will definitely be staying here again. If using the over the air tv antenna only two channels were available. With our booster we received 16 channels.
Date of Stay: June, 2016
This is one of our favorite parks. The sites are spacious with lots of room for our truck and trailer. Very pet friendly. The registration envelopes are in front of the washrooms. Very quiet when the fair is not being held. We had good reception for over the air TV and our Verizon internet. We will definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2014
We stayed at this campground so we could visit battlefields and family. As the other reviewers stated, there are several long term folks here but everyone is so friendly. The owner is more than accommodating. Just ask for help and he will do anything to help you out. The rate we paid is the PA rate. They also offer discounts for Good Sam and Escapees. The sites are mainly treed but even large rigs can fit into them. We have our own WIFI so I didn't check out the campgrounds. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
We stayed here two nights at the Passport America rate. I do not agree with the ratings from other reviewers. No, this park is not a resort. It does not have many amenities and it is out in the country. But the new owners will make your stay very enjoyable. The sites are dirt but level. Very pet friendly. The park is about 10 miles from the nearest stores in Pueblo. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
This is a Passport America (PA) campground. The rate listed is the PA rate plus a charge for 50 amp. There are several RV's that are there at least for the summer. Thank goodness for our surge protector. The first site we were in, the surge guard just shut down all the power. So he moved us to another site where we were the only unit on the electrical circuit. We had service there but the amps dropped during the night at least once. Sites are not well maintained and there was dog waste everywhere. The manager was really a nice guy, but the park itself needs a lot of work.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
This campground is mainly for snowbirds who have permanent sites. They do have a few sites available for overnight campers but the sites are at the entrance to the park. The sites are not level and we could not get our rig as level as we wanted it to be. The sites are grass with a concrete slab but no table. However, this park is on Lake Tohopekaliga and the views are gorgeous. It has a boat ramp, boat rentals and air boat rides for a fee. The overnight sites do not face the lake but they do face a pond which has two alligators to keep you company. Pets are more than welcome but keep them leashed because of the alligators. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
Nice campground. Two fishing ponds. Level gravel sites with grass between sites. Very friendly staff. Pet friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
Beautiful little park. Sites are concrete pads and level. Lots of grass and the park is surrounded by trees. Pet friendly with breed restrictions. Friendly staff. Would definitely camp here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
The park looks nice but has many problems. No cell, internet, or TV service. Surge protector shut down the power to our RV at least twice because of low amperage. Could not finish dumping gray tank because the septic overflowed. Lot we were in was down an embankment making it difficult to unhook and hitch up. Lake is beautiful but we would not stay here again.
Date of Stay: April, 2009
We stayed at this campground twice. The second time was for a month because we enjoyed it so much. Nice large park, well maintained, lots of room to walk the dogs. We had no problems of any kind while at this campground and will definitely stay there again.

Custom Negora for upcoming show at One-Up
Mark Nagata has tweeted out a few photos of a custom Negora he's doing for a custom Negora show at Japan's One-Up Gallery. His choice? Melding his Negora character with ... Captain America? Indeed! The custom Captain Ameri-Cat actually looks pretty cool and does seem to feature an original casting, notably because of the star on the chest and the sculpted mask on its face. Mark's given the whole thing a red, white, blue, gold and black coloring with Monster Kolor paints, and then given Negora a hand-painted shield to match. I think the end result looks pretty darn excellent!
It sounds as though this is just one of many customs Mark will be doing for the event; stay tuned, because we'll be bringing you more news on the event and customs as we get it!

A supplementary service to the ScreenCastsOnline membership has just been launched – ScreenCastsOnline Academy
The ScreenCastsOnline Academy is not intended to replace a ScreenCastsOnline membership – it's something slightly different, targeted at a completely different audience.
The premise is that the ScreenCastsOnline Academy will provide packaged sets of tutorials with specific themes. Instead of requiring a membership, the packaged tutorials will be priced as a one off purchase. Pay once, get access to the tutorials via the ScreenCastsOnline Academy website.
First Tutorial Package – Let's Learn iWork
The first tutorial package has just been published. These are 13 video tutorials covering the current versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote for both Mac and iOS, and repackaged it as "Let's Learn iWork".
It's available for sale now (but check at the end of the post for a discount coupon).
There will be additional tutorial packages eventually, but all the tutorials will be available to ScreenCastsOnline members via the usual ScreenCastsOnline website.
I would like to stress again that these aren't new tutorials, they are the same as the ones published via the usual ScreenCastsOnline membership – it's just that they are now available together and in one place and for a single one-off payment.
So I Don't Need A ScreenCastsOnline Membership?
The ScreenCastsOnline Academy is absolutely not intended as a replacement for a full ScreenCastsOnline membership. It's still more cost-effective to take out a full standard membership, and the the Academy will only have a fraction of the content available to full members.
But there are a number of people who really don't want a full blown membership, and the limited selection of tutorials via the Academy along with the one-off purchase price, will probably fulfil their limited needs.
To save any confusion, I've created a separate website for the ScreenCastsOnline Academy and will keep it separate from the ScreenCastsOnline Membership site – for now at least.
Special Discount for "Lets' Learn iWork
If you're curious and want to check out the new service, visit ScreenCastsOnline Academy and if you want to try out the "Let's Learn iWork" tutorial package, here's a discount code for 40% off the launch price… just use 40off during checkout.
As a favour, If you know someone who might not want a membership, but would benefit from 5 hours of tutorials on Pages, Numbers and Keynote, why not send them the link and the discount code!

Take the power of rumour and gossip, mix in a few drops of the incipient xenophobia that lurks within the national DNA, and Labour's decision to join the Greens and New Zealand First in wanting to ban non-resident foreigners from the second-hand house market will win wide popular support.
What a shame it will do little to dampen the rampant real estate speculation in house-starved Auckland and Christchurch.
It won't create a single new home, which is the crux of the crisis facing the country's two biggest cities.
Fixating on foreign ownership misses the point. It's not as though the overseas buyer can hot-foot it from the auction room to the airport and stuff his prize new McMansion into the hold of a waiting whisper jet. And unless he leaves his new house empty - and there's a rumour to fit this proposition as well - it will remain available to the third of Aucklanders who live in rental accommodation.
A few weeks ago, the Government and Auckland Council announced a housing accord endeavouring to address the real problem, the large undersupply of housing fuelling the current buying frenzy.
A target of 39,000 new houses in three years was set - 9000 in year one, 13,000 the following year and 17,000 in year three. The Auckland Plan pinpoints the challenge. Population growth will call for 400,000 additional dwellings by 2040, meaning 13,000 new builds each year.
"This is a huge challenge given we already have a shortfall of 10,000 homes and current levels of house building are less than half the volume required."
In this context, a few houses sold to overseas buyers is just a sideshow, fuelled in part by frustrated property-seekers seeking someone to blame. They get outbid at an auction by an "Asian" and hit out. They should be denouncing the politicians who stood aside as this crisis developed.
It's hardly surprising there are people of Asian ethnicity at house auctions in Auckland. At the 2006 census, 19 per cent (268,600 people) of Auckland's population identified as Asian. By 2021, the proportion will have increased to 30 per cent (469,800). There's an influx of new citizens looking for homes.
The facts about the dreaded overseas buyers are hard to come by. In March, the BNZ and the Real Estate Institute tried to shine some light on the issue by adding extra questions in their monthly survey of more than 10,000 licensed real estate agents.
BNZ chief economist Tony Alexander concluded: "The sprawling anecdotes regarding Auckland properties being snapped up by Chinese buyers are not supported by the evidence."
Nationwide, only 9 per cent of all sales are to people from overseas (Auckland, 11 per cent) and of these buyers, at least 40 per cent indicated to agents they intended to shift to New Zealand. The result being only between 4 per cent and 5.6 per cent of all New Zealand dwelling sales are to people not intending to live here.
Of total Auckland sales, overseas Chinese bought 2.1 per cent, British residents 2 per cent, and Australians 1.7 per cent.
According to this survey, the biggest competition for first-home buyers comes from "investors" who nationwide bought 19 per cent of available houses, compared with the 24 per cent that go to first-time buyers.
In Auckland, first buyers snapped up 23 per cent, to the investors' 22 per cent.
Unfortunately, there's no official data to back up or discredit the BNZ-REINZ voluntary survey, to which, Mr Alexander admits, only a small proportion of agents responded.
Indeed, he admitted subsequently to a Chinese journalist that "with regard to Chinese buying houses, I have yet to find a single person in New Zealand who agrees with the survey results. Everyone believes that the true level of Chinese house buying in Auckland, in particular, is much higher than my survey suggests."
Mr Alexander said he didn't believe it was as high as the anecdotes suggested, but worried that "the issue is causing societal discord ... and threatens the very good trade relationship between New Zealand and China".
His answer to the housing crisis is to ban house sales, both new and old, to non-residents as part of a comprehensive action plan which is centred on a "quick jump in house supply combined with reductions in building materials costs".
It's the sort of package that you'd think a left-leaning Opposition would embrace with open arms. It starts off with a large builder training programme which would warn investors to "think twice about their capital gain assumptions".
He would ban council development fees, "create a state-owned enterprise whose sole purpose is to undercut building materials suppliers", and initiate a new large state housing building programme. The list goes on. Capital gains tax on second properties, opening up more urban fringe land ... etc etc ... It addresses the real issues.
Mr Shearer started down the same road last November at the Labour Party conference when he announced the next Labour government would enter the housing market and build 100,000 low-cost houses over 10 years.
The plan attracted 70 per cent public support in a subsequent Herald-Digipoll survey. What a pity he didn't get up on Sunday and flesh out that proposal, instead of straying down the Winston Peters cul-de-sac.
No doubt Labour will gain popular support for the anti-foreigner move. But will a spoonful of jingoism build one extra dwelling?
Debate on this article is now closed.

As a teacher and a healer, what I have learned is that not everyone who says they want to heal and be happy really means it. In order to achieve wholeness and personal happiness, people have to be willing to let go of their loyalty to stories of "not good enough" and "didn't do it right."
Read Whole Story
It is from personal experience that I endorse and prescribe what Vedantic psychology has known for thousands of years. Change the name and you change the person.
Mindfulness at its best rests in the present moment without an agenda. It is pure awareness minus the tyranny of the intellect.
Awareness, what are we giving our attention to, is the most life-altering form of energy available to us. It is our awareness that has the greatest influence on the body, our perceptions and emotions.
Oscar Wilde's wisdom, insight and penchant for truth are as accurate and sobering now as they were over 10 decades ago.
We invite, accumulate and aggravate our miseries according to what we give our attention to. Conversely we also heal, overcome and breakthrough life's challenges according to our awareness.
How is it that all the great spiritual sayings can fit on a bumper sticker? The reason is that Universal truth is simple and straightforward.
The Eastern philosophy makes perfect sense for anyone who has ever noticed that no matter what you may do or ingest in your physical body, what works for one person may not work equally for another.
The meek will inherit the Earth, but the happy, well-balanced people who value respecting fair and healthy boundaries will inherit a life worth living while on the Earth!
After a lifetime of studying various philosophical traditions, I still have not found a better embodiment of transcendent wisdom than Bugs.
Why don't we focus the lens of our perspective on the same mastery of resiliency that cartoon characters seem to have, and by which they seem to mock our very existence?

Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn Remembers the Paterson Strike of 1913,
Source, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, The Rebel Girl: An Autobiography
(New York, 1955), 165-166.
This account of the strike assemblies at the home of Maria Botto and the women's meetings during the 1913 Paterson silk strike is by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, a leader in the Industrial Workers of the World and leader of the Paterson strike. Flynn was 22 years old at the time of the strike. Her career as a radical began in 1906 when she was 16 and joined the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Flynn was especially popular among the women, for whom she held regular weekly meetings.
The life of a strike depends upon constant activities. In Paterson, as in all IWW strikes, there were mass picketing, daily mass meetings, children's meetings, the sending of many children to New York and New Jersey cities, and the unique Sunday gatherings. These were held in the afternoon in the little town of Haledon, just over the city line from Paterson. The mayor was a Socialist who welcomed us. A striker's family lived there in a two-story house. There was a balcony on the second floor, facing the street, opposite a large green field. It was a natural platform and amphitheatre. Sunday after Sunday, as the days became pleasanter, we spoke there to enormous crowds of thousands of people-the strikers and their families, workers from other Paterson industries, people from nearby New Jersey cities, delegations from New York of trade unionists, students and others. Visitors came from all over America and from foreign countries. People who saw these Haledon meetings never forgot them....
A touching episode occurred in one of our children's meetings. I was speaking in simple language about the conditions of silk workersâ€"why their parents had to strike. I spoke of how little they were paid for weaving the beautiful silk, like the Lawrence workers who made the fine warm woolen cloth. Yet the textile workers do not wear either woolen or silk, while the rich people wear both. I asked: "Do you wear silk?" They answered in a lively chorus. "No!" I asked: Does your mother wear silk?" Again there was a loud "No!" But a child's voice interrupted, making a statement. This is what he said: "My mother has a silk dress. My father spoiled the cloth and had to bring it home." The silk worker had to pay for the piece he spoiled and only then did his wife get a silk dress!
We had a woman's meeting, too, in Paterson at which Haywood, Tresca and I spoke. When I told this story to the women clad in shoddy cotton dresses, there were murmurs of approval which confirmed that the child was right-all the silk they ever saw outside the mill was spoiled goods. Tresca made some remarks about shorter hours, people being less tired, more time to spend together and jokingly he said: "More babies." The women did not look amused. When Haywood interrupted and said: "No Carlo, we believe in birth control-a few babies, well cared for!" they burst into laughter and applause. They gladly agreed to sending the children to other cities and, chastened by the Lawrence experience, the police did not interfere this time.

Bill Haywood Remembers the 1913 Paterson Strike
Source, William D. Haywood, "On the Paterson Picket Line,"
International Socialist Review, 13 (June 1913): 850-851.
In this excerpt from an article published during the 1913 Paterson Silk Strike by "Big" Bill Haywood, he comments on the women's role in the strike. Haywood was a founder and national leader of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).
...The women have been an enormous factor in the Paterson strike. Each meeting for them has been attended by bigger and bigger crowds. They are becoming deeply interested in the questions of the hour that are confronting women and are rapidly developing the sentiments that go to make up the great feminist movement of the world.
With them it is not a question of equal suffrage but of economic freedom. The women are ready to assume their share of the responsibility, on the picket line, in jail, even to the extent of sending their children away. Hundreds of children already have found good homes with their "strike parents" in New York.
The Mother in Jail.
Among the strikers gathered in by the police was a woman with a nursing baby. She was fined $10 and costs with the alternative of 20 days in jail. She was locked up, but the baby was not allowed to go with her. In twenty-four hours the mother's breasts were filled to bursting, but the baby on the outside was starving. He refused to take any other form of food. In a few more hours the condition of both mother and baby was dangerous, and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn went to see Recorder Carroll about the case. She told him unless the baby was allowed to have its mother it would soon die. Recorder Carroll's reply was as follows:
"That's None of My Business."
Part B: William "Big Bill" Haywood Primary Source
For what reasons did Haywood seem to think women were involved in the labor movement?
What was the purpose of Haywood's story about the mother and the baby? What sorts of feelings do you think he was trying to elicit from the strikers?
Who do you think "Recorder Carroll" was?

Joe McKendrick called me out on the fact that I've been inconsistent in calling SOA, as it went through downtimes and upticks over the last few months.
Dave Linthicum, who keeps his finger on the pulse of SOA through his consulting work, said last year at this time that he was seeing a slowing in SOA projects -- as things got rocky with the economy.However, in one of his more recent posts, Dave now signals an uptick in SOA project work. Remember, not only has the economic climate been ostensibly hammering IT budgets, but there's also been the prevailing notion that SOA (as we've known it) is 'dead' or at least on life support."
Just some more color around all this.
First, SOA is becoming a part of IT, rather than just a new destination. Thus, my clients and other organizations who are dealing with SOA no longer consider it new, but also don't consider it proven. It's just an approach, and that's a good thing. Thus, we can come at SOA with the right expectations.
Second, SOA is much less about technology these days, which is another good thing. We get to the technology eventually, but the journey is what needs to be the focus.
Finally, the uptick in SOA is really around doing more with less. Something that has always been the battle cry of SOA, but was almost never achieved by most practitioners. Many are now actually building SOAs, increasing efficiencies, and thus reducing costs. Who would have thunk it? :-)

Tiberius Rising
Book by: ParkourDude91
Status: Finished
Genre: War and Military
Chapter5 (v.1) - "INFILTRAITOR"
Stryker rifled through the thick dossier on his way to the drop zone. They had chosen to enter the region by helicopter - stealthier that way. The pilots - a bunch of guys from the 160th, as they bragged - all used NVDs, not floodlights, allowing them to fly stealthier - or, at least as stealthy as a fully loaded MH-60L Blackhawk helicopter can be. However at night in the pitch black desert environment, they were pretty much invisible.
The time was 4:03 AM - right in the sweet spot. Pre-dawn nautical twilight, or "Darkest Before Dawn". The darkest part of the night - that offered the best concealment to soldiers like Stryker.As a
SEAL, Stryker always preferred stealth missions. He thought it was more skillful to never be seen than to just blow up everything. And, by God, Afghanistan allowed for very good stealth. With no
light pollution, it was pitch black at night in the countryside, and aside from wind there was absolutely no noise. He could hear a target coming way before they could get the drop on him. That's
why their entry point was right outside Kabul - the biggest city in this shithole of a country.
"We've arrived at the drop zone", the helo pilot announced. Stryker looked up at Jenkins and Remirez. One look in thier eyes and he could tell his squad was fully kitted out and ready for infil. He thumbed the tac-mic.
"Razor Mike, deploy" he yelled. His squad mates quickly opened the helo door and jumped to grab the fast rope, quickly rapelling down to the ground as they hung from the rope suspended 30 feet above the air. Stryker looked out into the barren desert, with the terrorist hub of all of Iraq - Kandahar - brightly lit up the dark horizon. He knew this was going to be a tough op...probably his toughest. And he knew he was going right into the belly of the beast. Nobody expected him to come out alive... and he was going to prove them wrong.
He sighed, cocked a round into the chamber and grabbed the rope. Down he went, grabbing the rope for dear life. He hit the ground on a hill, and tucked and rolled. The helicopter was already pulling away. He got his gear and stood up... "Im getting too old for this shit", he said hoarsely. Jenkins gave him a laugh and they proceeded to the base... It was going to be a long hike. The mountain ranges of Kandahar were deadly with sudden drops and nasty cliffs, but the last thing Stryker needed was to touch down in a hot drop zone. He was going to play it by the book, and he knew that by landing under the cover of night, well outside the "Area of Operations", he could approach silently before anyone knew he was on-site.
He looked over at Jenkins and Ramirez who were stacked up in a defensive position to cover his landing. He keyed his mic. "OK move out", he said. Jenkins and Ramirez formed up in a line and they set on their way across the rocky landscape.
"Someone must have heard that chopper", Jenkins said nervously. "Those bitches ain't quiet..." He gripped his gun tightly, scanning the horizon for threats.
"That's why we're SEALS. No fuckin' water in the desert to swim in", Ramirez joked back.
"Cut the chatter guys..."Stryker said. Man it was going to be a long night before they were safe.

Switch non DRL headlamps for DRL headlamps?
I was curious if it was possible to change the headlamps on a 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited without the LED DRL to the headlamps with the LED DRL (commonly found on the summit and overland). Is it a simple plug and play switch or does it require a lot of work? Also, the cost. Is this something I could order the new headlamps and install myself or something that will require some professional help. Thanks for the input!

How Can Yoga Help Cancer Patients?
Michelle teaches gentle yoga, a chair-based program for cancer patients. She modifies the movements to accommodate the limitations of each participant in her class.
According to the American Cancer Society, yoga is a form of non-aerobic exercise that involves a program of precise posture, breathing exercises, and meditation. In ancient Sanskrit, the word yoga means "union." Yoga has proven to be beneficial for many cancer patients as it promotes relaxation and can often kick-start a fitness regimen. Although yoga cannot treat the disease, it can improve quality of life for cancer patients by helping patients manage some of the side effects of treatment, including depression, insomnia, pain and fatigue. It can also help with emotional and mental aspects of treatment such as managing anxiety.
Toward this end, in 2012, Fox Chase Cancer Center initiated a chair-based yoga course for cancer patients in the Women's Cancer Center. As a certified yoga instructor who specializes in gentle yoga for cancer patients, I was hired to teach this specialized class.
People who have not participated in a yoga class are often intimidated by the difficult poses that some people master. While some yoga classes are physically challenging, there are many classes for beginners and for people with physical challenges.
The methodology behind my class, "Gentle Yoga Therapy for Cancer Patients" emphasizes the stress reduction aspects of yoga and is tailored to the needs and abilities of each patient. Gentle movement, breathing techniques, meditation, deep relaxation and imagery work to help guide patients to an energized yet calm state of peaceful awareness. As fatigue is the number one side effect of cancer treatment, patients spend approximately 60 to 75 percent of class time in chairs, with some choosing to remain in the chair for the entire class.
Joe Stevenson was diagnosed with stage four melanoma in 2010 when he was 39 years old. His treatment has included a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery. Joe and his wife, Linette, joined my class in the fall of 2012. "For us, this class is extremely helpful," shared Joe, who noted each movement is modified to accommodate the limitations of each patient. "I have limitations with my left shoulder due to surgical treatment. Michelle works with me so I can get the benefit of yoga without further injury to my shoulder."
Caregivers also feel the stress of cancer treatment as much of the household and family responsibility fall to them. Joe and Linette, who are raising two teenage daughters, have enjoyed this time together. "I am fortunate to be able to accompany Joe to all of his appointments," explained Linette, who has benefited from the class as well. "Yoga is a good extension to the treatment offered at Fox Chase. We're hoping it will kick-start our road to good health," she adds.
Over the years, we have learned that meditation elicits the "relaxation response," a term coined by researcher Herbert Benson at Harvard Medical School to describe a phenomenon in which the following physiological changes take place:
- Metabolism decreases
- Heart rate lowers
- Muscles tension is reduced
- Breath rate slows
- Blood pressure decreases
- Chemicals associated with stress, cortisol and adrenalin, are reduced
When patients know these benefits of yoga, they are inspired to practice more frequently. These yoga techniques affect the body by quieting down the sympathetic nervous system and engaging the parasympathetic nervous system.
The sympathetic nervous system is the "fight or flight" process of the limbic brain. It sends adrenalin and cortisol through the body, which in turn sends blood to the extremities – arms and legs – leaving the organs at the core of the body functioning with less blood and interfering with their efficient functioning. In this situation the digestive and reproductive systems are suppressed and the immune system altered.
The parasympathetic nervous system tells the body that everything is okay, that it can relax. It returns the blood to the organs so they can operate efficiently. If stress is prolonged and the body is continuously exposed to the stress hormones, one becomes at risk for heart disease, sleep problems, digestive problems and depression.
For more information or to register for the next class, please contact Mary Ann Costello, Fox Chase Cancer Center Stress Management Program, Department of Psychiatry, at 215-214-3940.

Where I stayed
Hotel Bromo Permai
Starting out from Kuta, Bali I was up very early to catch a bemo (public bus) to Denpasar, the transport hub. Normally bemos won't take tourists from Kuta but like everything in Kuta, if you do it in the early morning its 10 times easier. As I got into the bemo I watched a Hindu temple procession round the corner. Lots of yellow, gold and white, a gamelan orchestra and a five-tiered portable shrine tipping crazily. With only the usual Bali transport hassles I made it Tanah Lot on the south-west coast. Tanah Lot is the most important sea temple for the Hindus, is a huge tourist draw, and is apprently one of the top places to be in Bali for sunset. As soon as I saw the little island the temple was perched on I couldn't help but think "This temple is 'cute'." Not sure if a temple can be 'cute' but that was my impression
Next was a long bus ride to Palasari, which is the biggest, and only, Catholic community in Bali. I was there to see their cathedral and was not disappointed. Upon my arrival I was introduced to Brother Marcus, a monk staying at the attached monastery. Brother Marcus very graciously agreed to show me around the cathedral and tell me about the Catholics in Indonesia as well as his personal story. Turns out he is from West Timor, which is a Catholic Indonesian island, and has spent the last two years in Bali. Before that he served Rome for ten years, living not too far from the Pope. The cathedral was impressive. Standard crucifix design but with many Balinese touches. Not exactly heretical touches but the nod to Hindu temple motifs and architecture, particularly in the entrance, was certainly there. This is very much in line with the syncretic nature of much religion in the Indonesian archipelago and made for a stunning chruch. Brother Marcus told me that the congregation was about 600 strong, remaining steady, if not growing a bit. Marcus also explained the heirarchy of the church Indonesia and how the cathedral had been built in 1959.
I was pleasantly surprised when Marcus volunteered to drive me to Belimbingsari (very good chance I am spelling this wrong as I left my notes in my room) which is the main Protestant community and is beside Palasari
As we left Marcus decided he would drive me to Gilimanuk where I could catch the ferry to Java. I was amazed at how this kind man had taken me under his wing so quickly, spending hours guiding me around and now driving me to the ferry.
After many thanks to Marcus I boarded the ferry, leaving Hindu Bali for the seemingly much more alien Muslim island of Java. A long bus ride followed and I arrived in Probolingo at 2130. Sadly the end of my day was marred by a serious disaggreement over my bemo fare. A tout tried to seriously rip me off but I caught on and at the end of the ride to the hotel demanded cash back. I think this unusual tactic worked primarily because I threatened to call the police and yelled very loud while looking very angry. The hassle part of travel in Indonesia is never fun but it comes with the experience. I stayed at the Hotel Bromo Permai as recommened in the Lonely Planet. I found an infestation of ants in my room. A battle involving much squashing and use of DEET spray followed. I was actually victorious in this particular battle and got a decent sleep.

Patient Testimonial:
Kerri - August 19, 2011
This letter is in reference to the Da Vinci Hysterectomy that I had on June 7th, 2011. My procedure was performed at Brandon Regional Medical Center. I had to stay one night at the hospital and the facility staff was absolutely wonderful and highly recommended.
This surgery has been one of the best choices I have ever made, and several of my friends are now envious at how well I feel. The surgery is minimal, no large or long cuts, no unusual feelings in the pelvic region, and I was able to walk from day one. I did throw myself into work before my two weeks with permission from my Doctor. It feels wonderful and I feel like a new person without all the gynecological problems. I would not have waited another day to move forward in this choice.
Also, my surgeon is one of the best doctors I have met and can't say enough superb comments about his professionalism, character, bed side manners, kindness, expertise, desire and enthusiasm in his profession to help people. He honestly is a special individual and I thank God that I was lucky to have him perform my procedure and further follow-up appointments as needed. I hope that my story has helped in some way and you will make an informed decision.

Hey guys I've got some questions anout a Tdo4 turbo I just bought.
Firstly I'll tell you what I'm doing with it. I'm putting it on a toyota motor. It's a 1G GTE 6 cylinder 2 liter twin turbo motor. The problem with the stnd turbos is that they are very small and the stnd manifold setup is very restrictive. I figure this turbo would be a good match as they are both 2 liter motors. I want boost on early and this toyota motor is known for being a bit breathless so I figure it's smallish size will help.
With that said I need some photos of the oil & water lines on a complete turbo. On mine it looks like there was a join between oil feeds where they screw into the body. One of the lines is not present anymore (I'm assuming it still in use on the original car) there also seems the be a water pipe missing. So some photos of a complete unit outside the car would be great.
At what rpm do these turbos start to feel out of puff on a rex?
Would you recomend them as a decent turbo?
This one has apparently had a rebuild 1000K ago, off MY01, I got it for $300, any good?
With these turbos are you able to move the shaft AT ALL side to side with your fingers? My older turbos do this, while this turbos shaft doesn't wabble about at all you can make the shaft move side to side if you push on it, is this ok?
And last but not least can someone indicate which oil & water lines are in's or out's
Thanks for your help guys!

Asal audio launched!
The others present on the occasion included producers Ramkumar, director Saran, music director Bhardwaj, Dushyant and Vikram the producer"s sons who were looking after the production.
Delivering his speech mostly in English, Ajith said: "A good film needs no publicity. I don"t want to talk about a film which is still under production. Aasal has great title value, right from the title everything is god send. Believe me when I say I don"t like narcissism in my films. Sameera, Bhavana, Suresh all have equal footing. As far as music is concerned it is the best so far."
Ajith also mentioned a song in the album as his favorite one. It starts 'engey...engey...' sung by SPB. Before playing the song Ajith says, "Actually the song written by Vairamuthu is close to my heart as it reminded me of the stabs I had received on my back from one time friends in real life and in cinema...."

What I'm about to tell you doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's one of those rare things that happens to you and that's so much bigger than you -- it's difficult to put it into words. And the reason I have waited to tell you is because I haven't really known the right way to go about it. But this space has always been as much about my life as it is about food, and if we never talked about any of this I probably wouldn't blog again for a very, very long time. Because this is, now, my focus. My attention, my daydreams, my real dreams, my heart, and a glimpse into the future. This is it. Meet Sam.
Sam lives in Seattle. I live in Oakland. We met in August or September over coffee to talk about designing the website for my baking business, Marge. We sat outside, talked websites, ideas, and business. I'm sure Seattle weather came up (as it does) and I remember Sam commenting on the weight of the letters in the typeface of the bakery sign. I kind of loved that. There was something about him, even then, that captivated me in a certain way. Right when I thought about beginning a baking business, I knew I should take notes along the way so I could look back and remember the whole thing. These notes are filled with everything ranging from lists to sketches to fully fleshed out paragraphs. A few weeks ago, I reread them and found an entry from the day after I met Sam that very first time.
A bakery, looking for a man I'd only spoken with over email and wasn't too sure what to expect. A smart man, I knew. A man that was excited about Marge and that excitement and passion for his work assured me we'd get along just fine. A notebook of ideas. A fine hat. A long talk sitting outside with glints of afternoon sun. And breezes. Smiles and laughter and a strange and sudden trust. And a lot of "Get this's" -- I'd never sat down and thought about Marge in this way, and it was nice. There was possibility and assuredness there, and when I looked at Sam talking about it all, I know this somehow. Echoing somewhere is the Rilke quote: "Dig into your self for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong simple "I must", then build your life in accordance with this necessity; your whole life, even down to its humblest and most indifferent hour, must become a sign and witness to this impulse." The impulse about Marge, yes. To create something. The impulse, I think, to know Sam better: yes, too.
Now fast forward months and months and you'll find a Megan that routinely spends hours upon hours on the phone with Seattle Sam. A Megan who forgets where she parks, walks to yoga without her yoga mat, buys sorbet and leaves it in her car overnight, finds music and food to sound and taste infinitely more amazing. A Megan who finds herself smiling throughout the day. For no discernable reason. A Megan that hasn't seen this much light in a very long time. Actually, ever. And if you fast-forward just a bit further you'll find a Megan that just dropped Sam off at the airport last week after an amazing two-week visit.
A visit that, in many ways, is hard to explain to people who want to know everything we did and saw. Truthfully, there were dozens upon dozens of moments but so many of them were deliciously quotidian: holding hands and strolling through Point Reyes Station, beers at Magnolia on Haight, riding around on Sam's back (across streets, over bridges, from room to room), shopping for records, early morning farmer's markets together with double thermoses, hiking Tennessee Valley and running from waves, Chez Panisse and Zuni Cafe, afternoon coffees at Cafe Zoetrope, Sam making bacon and eggs in the morning, a few new books, listening to old Bruce Springsteen, Friday Night Lights together on the couch, port, finger-crossing for parking spaces, whirlwind trip up to Lake Tahoe to nap by the fire and work in each others' company, sunny Dolores Park.
So you see, Sam and I have fallen in love. This, by the way, doesn't work wonderfully well for people who like to plan, manage, and control their lives (yours truly). If I'd been able to choose, I certainly would've chosen a man who lived closer. Sure, saying goodbye on the curb at the airport is no fun. But I'm telling myself not to try to make perfect sense of it all or figure out all of the logistics this second. Because it's not that kind of thing. Rather, this falls more in the 'blindly and patiently' camp. The 'take deep breaths' camp and the 'don't scare Sam away by making a spreadsheet of your future life together' camp. Yes, one of those.
And so, in the spirit of 'blindly and patiently', I'm leaving you with two things today. First, an encouragement to grab onto the hand of the one you love (or the nape of their neck or their kneecap or shove your hand down the back pocket of their jeans. You get it). Quite a few people I know who saw Sam and I happily with one another encouraged us to enjoy it while it lasts with the underlying assumption that it won't. That it never does. With it being that spark, that light, that inability to look away. So I want you to grab onto the hand of your love this afternoon. Just because. Just because I know it can last. And second, I'm leaving you with a wonderful recipe for a rustic olive loaf--a bread that takes a little time, nurturing, and patience. And with all three, it comes out perfectly every time. As I know it will with my Sam.
Rustic Olive Loaf
Although it seems like a long first rise, the recipe is pretty accurate here. Plan out the following day to allow for enough time. Before baking, I brushed the loaf with infused rosemary olive oil and a little sea salt. Use your favorite olive oil -- or nothing at all.
Slightly adapted from: Jim Lahey's My Bread via The Splendid Table
3 cups bread flour (400 grams)
About 1 1/2 cups roughly chopped pitted olives (200 grams)
3/4 teaspoon instant or other active dry yeast (3 grams)
1 1/2 cups cool (55 to 65 degrees F) water (300 grams)
wheat bran, cornmeal, or additional flour for dusting
Infused rosemary oil, to brush on top
sea salt, to top
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, olives, and yeast. Add the water and, with your hands, mix until the dough is wet and sticky, about 30 seconds. Cover the bowl and let sit at room temperature until the surface is dotted with bubbles and the dough is more than doubled in size, 12 to 18 hours.
When the first rise is complete, dust a work surface with flour. Gently scrape the dough out of the bowl in one piece--can use a dough scraper or spatula here. Lift the edges of the dough in toward the center and nudge and tuck them in to make it round.
Place a tea towel on your counter and generously dust it with wheat bran, cornmeal, or flour. Gently place the dough on the towel, seam side down. If the dough is tacky, dust the top lightly with wheat bran, cornmeal, or flour. Fold the ends of the tea towel loosely over the dough to cover it and place it in a warm, draft-free spot to rise for 1 to 2 hours. The dough is ready when it is almost doubled. If you gently poke it with your finger, it should hold the impression. If it springs back, let it rise for another 15 minutes.
Half an hour before the end of the second rise, preheat the oven to 475 degrees F, with a rack in the lower third, and place a covered 4 1/2 - to 5 1/2 -quart heavy pot in the center of the rack. Remove the preheated pot from the oven and uncover it. Unfold the tea towel and quickly but gently invert the dough into the pot, seam side up. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Cover the pot and bake for 30 minutes. *** (see note)
Remove the lid and continue baking until the bread is a deep chestnut color but not burnt, 15 to 30 minutes more. Use a heatproof spatula or pot holders to gently lift the bread out of the pot and place it on a rack to cool thoroughly.
***If using Le Creuset or similar pot, remember to screw off the knob on top of the lid -- it's not meant to withstand quite that much heat.

John Mayer and Jessica Simpson's relationship was plagued with drama: post-Nick Lachey and her famed Dukes of Hazard short shorts, she gained weight and dyed her hair brown to please John…who referred to sex with her as "napalm" and described her as "crack cocaine."
News of a Megan Fox– Shia LaBeouf hookup shocked Transformers fans and oddly coincided with the release of the new Transformers movie (one without Megan), and Megan's one year wedding anniversary with Brian Austin Green…not only is Shia implicating Megan in a posible cheating scandal, but he seems to be using the low-profile relationship to help his own movie! Way to throw her under the bus!
Jessica Simpson's relationship with Jackass star Bam Margera took everyone by surprise, especially following the popstars relationship with husband Nick Lachey, in which she famously waited until her wedding night to have sex. Yet, Bam proudly and lewdly proclaimed on the Howard Stern Show that he "banged" her. Poor Jessica!
Not only did Jesse James cheat on his gorgeous wife Sandra Bullock (a revelation that came out days after Sandra won her first Academy Award for her role in The Blind Side), but he instantly began dating inked reality star Kat Von D and has publicly praised her sexual prowess over Sandra, saying she is "100% better in bed." Jerk!
A classic example of he said, she said…too much! Both of the failed Bachelor duo spoke way too much to the press about their relationship. Vienna Girardi sold her story to Star magazine, claiming she dumped Jake after he refused to have sex with her. Jake Pavelka took to People magazine to offer his side: she cheated on him and was lazy. Keep it to yourselves!
The unlikely duo have been married for years and have a child together, which made their public separation and mud-slinging even more sad and embarrasing! Shortly after the split, David Arquette called in to Howard Stern, admitting he hadn't slept with Courteney Cox, his wife, in 4 months! He also admitted to having sex with one of his female friends! Courteney retaliated by publicly declaring that David just wanted sex way too much! TMI!
Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland's engagement and her subsequent runaway bride episode with his best friend was dramatic enough! Yet Kiefer continues to stir the pot and bring it up, reflecting that "the passion" was not there in the relationship. Good to know, but move on Kiefer! She has!

Adjusted my toe. Car drives straight as an arrow now
This isn't for those people who want computer straight alignment. Just pay the 80 bucks or whatever it is and get it done right. I just slide my car around a lot and usually buy used pairs of tires more often than whole sets of 4, so getting alignments all the time isn't really worth it to me. I had a slight pull to the right, but also some decent tramlining after putting my 18's on. This is usually common with cars that already had alignment issues. People think the wheels caused the issues but it's usually the wider tires just allowing the driver to notice, already evident, alignment problems. I started by giving just my right wheel toe-in. After a couple small adjustments my car was driving straight and now tramlining in both directions evenly instead of favoring right. Meaning both front wheels now needed even toe-in adjustment to improve straight line stability. After a few even adjustments to each side. Car is driving straight and true better than ever before. I caution if you don't do anything in your car, and go through tires at a normal extended rate, just go get an alignment. This is for those people who have tramlining issues, or a slight pull and don't want to get an alignment on used sets of tires. I drive my car hard and throw it into corners pretty rough, so I don't care to have it perfect. My car has no abnormal wear issues and can make tires last if I drive it normal. All I'm saying is I expect to make adjustments every time I get new tires, which I'm okay with. It literally takes me 10 minutes to adjust the toe from the time I turn off my car to the time I'm turning the key to go on a test drive.
Technically, you should not need to adjust the toe every time you get tires.
You're correct that the wider tires make the pre-existing issues more noticable. But now that the car has been straightened out, it should remain straight after you replace tires again.
Changing tires never affects alignment. It might expose an alignment issue, but it's not like two brands of tires give your car more or less toe. It just so happens that after 30K-40K of one set of tires your car might need an alignment anyway and the new tires expose the bad angles.
This is for a relatively extreme case, by the way. I've had one of those - garbage tires made by Maxxis (never buy them unless they're bike tires!) that wore on all four edges only. They're horribly loud.
When I took the car to the dealership to get them aligned, they said they wouldn't be able to get it perfectly straight due to the weird wear pattern on all four tires.
What are you doing to adjust yours?
(I have no experience with alignment or toe.)
If you have no experience with alignment, you should not be even thinking about touching anything.
OP, I have a question for you. Did you adjust front toe or rear toe?
I have some followup comments depending on your answer.
Priceless thread. For anyone reading, don't do this if you want your car to handle well, turn well or have tires last longer than 2000 miles.
I get what you are doing and it actually seems like you do know (some) about aligning a car. Bet that tramlining would have gone away with the stock wheels...
I recently rotated my tires and now she's pulling to the left. So I switched the two fronts (which used to be the rears) and it still pulls... The tread wear is not so noticeably uneven to suggest the cause.
Could adjusting my toe help? And how is that done?
I don't want to get an alignment yet because I'm waiting for my new control arms to arrive...
No. You have no idea without measuring what the effects of your adjustment will be.

Loose Stool Outside Of Box
I recently had a problem with my fixed 6 year old DLH pooping outside of the litter. I removed the hood on the box and that seems to have fixed that problem however there was an accident outside the box this morning. The stool had NO mucus or blood and was only partially runny. Is this something that should alarm me or are cats like dogs and can get upset tummy occasionally? He is eating and drinking fine and seems to be in no discomfort.

An occasional loose stool is not cause for immediate alarm. You are right, animals can suffer from loose stools just like humans. When the stools become frequent (like twice an hour or more) and you find spots through your house where he possibly didn't make it to the box, then you need to phone the vet. When this happens to my animals, I try to get a tablespoon or so of plain yogurt into them. It sometimes helps and in that amount it won't hurt them. Simon may also need a little more fiber in his food and a vet once suggested a weight-control food for that. But don't tinker with his diet until you're sure there's a problem and then only on the advice of his doc. Purrs!

text: Posted October 1, 2012 Seems to be playing very well. I have tried to catch as many snaps of his as I could as he was my favorite pick at 9 this past draft. Friend and Die Hard Eagles fan has been very impressed, and I take his word on football very seriously. I wanted him too, but understood and supported the Kuechly pick. He is not starting at Philly yet, but has some decent stats for a DLman. The only thing Philly might be a little concerned about is an apparent migraine problem. I know he had to leave one game early because of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie Sheen Loses Custody Of Twin Sons After Allegedly Threatening To Murder Their Mother.
The actor's antics seem to have caught up with him as his sons are taken from his home late Tuesday evening.
It appears that Charlie Sheen's "winning" lifestyle has taken a huge hit as the actor lost custody of his twin sons, Max and Bob, late in the evening on March 1. TMZ reports, "A judge temporarily stripped Charlie Sheen of custody of his twin sons Tuesday, after Brooke Mueller submitted a declaration in which she alleged Charlie said, 'I will cut your head off, put it in a box and send it to your mom.'" These are some very serious allegations.
Charlie immediately took to his newly created Twitter account and addressed the situation, saying: "My sons' are fine… My path is now clear… Defeat is not an option..!"
The actor then made a very early morning appearance on Today, detailing his feelings on the situation. He said that at the time he lost his sons he told them, "Don't say goodbye, say see you later."
As for any message he had for ex-wife Brooke, he simply said: "I urge you to reach out to me, immediately if not sooner, and tell me where our sons are."
Charlie said he was unaware where exactly his sons were, and that he knew for a fact they were not at the home they normally stay in with Brooke. Charlie's own home has come under fire after he admitted he had entered into a relationship with two women, porn star Bree Olson and "nanny" Natalie Kenley, and that the three shared a bed. He also said the two women played an active role in caring for his sons. Charming.
So what do you think HollyMoms? Was it right to have Charlie's children removed?
