The western tribes, inspired by the Druids' hatred of the Romans, prepare to make a stand. But can they match the discipline and courage of the legionaries? Wounded during a skirmish, Centurion Macro remains behind in charge of the fort as Prefect Cato leads an invasion deep into the hills. Cato's mission: to cement Rome's triumph over the natives by crushing the Druid stronghold. But with winter drawing in, the terrain is barely passable through icy rain and snowstorms. When Macro's patrols report that the natives in the vicinity of the garrison are thinning out, a terrible suspicion takes shape in the battle-scarred soldier's mind. Has the acting Governor, Legate Quintatus, underestimated the enemy, his military judgement undermined by ambition? If there is a sophisticated and deadly plan afoot, it's Cato and his men who will pay the price.

Poem: Letter to a Friend
Poem by: Mike Stevens
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
No Houses
Letter to a Friend
The time slips on past; how it got away from us, we just don't know
Where has it gone? Were did it go?
Yet here you are, still mourning the past
What a waste, because today won't last
You're so caught up in things that didn't go right,
that you forgot how to hope, yes, you lost sight
of all the good things this world has to offer,
but all you can see is the horrible way we treat each other
It's sad, really, because you just can't be glad
You're still missing all the things you once had
Look at you, with that scowl on your face,
and your negative vocabulary, with cynics' talk it's laced
When did you change from upbeat to not?
When did your outlook change, along with your thoughts?
And so I'm writing you this letter, in case your forget,
and in the negative your mind becomes set
Any time it seems that the world's gone to hell,
to read this reminder; of that you'd do well!
This is a letter from me to me
Just a reminder of how your life should be

Add Your Comments:
Nice idea well executed. Personally I would have revealed that it was a letter to myself right at the end. I feel in that way your message would have been amplified. But then that's me, I like a twist, a surprise.
Great piece, thank you got sharing
I like the change
I've been reading some of your stuff, then I read this and say, wow, there is a real person in there. A real talented and insightful person.

Modifying Activities to Meet the Needs of Patients Suffering from Dementia
Activities are an essential aspect of dementia care and everyone should be able to do some type of activity. Keep in mind when taking care of patients suffering from Dementia that doing activities need not be complicated. The important thing to remember is to always base your activity on the patient's abilities. Anything can be an activity, and the desired outcome is always a success.
Understand the Capabilities of the Patient –
The capabilities of the patient will differ because each patient with dementia is different. Also, not all patients lose the same skills at the same stage of the disease, so there's no overall rule to follow.
It is important to look at what they can do, rather than what they can't do. This depends on the following:
• Their attention span
• Their communication style and ability
• Their physical abilities
• Their cognitive abilities (memory, thinking, reasoning)
• Their spiritual need
Keep in mind the following when planning activities:
• Certain skills or talents, such as art and music, remain with the patient well into the disease process
• Activities cannot be done "incorrectly" by the patient
• Dementia specific activities are "can't fail" activities
Reminiscing Activities –
Reminiscence is an approach that focuses on past experiences from the patient's long term memory. This is typically a strength for people with dementia. Remembering is a healthy part of life review, and it will help the care giver get to know them better. Memories can be both happy and sad
• Examples – Look at old photographs together , Flip through old magazines
Music Activities-
Music is a part of everyday life. It creates and brings back memories, and promotes expression. Music can be therapeutic throughout all stages of dementia. It is a social activity and encourages movement. Music defines an era. Here are some tips to give back the joy of music with the patient:
o Ask the patient if he/she liked music, and if so, what kind
o Use familiar music from the right era
Dance Activities-
Dance is failure free and encourages movement and exercise. It is a social activity that promotes individuality. Dance activities are easy to plan and implement, and do not require verbal skills. Dance can both create and bring back memories.
When giving back the joy of dance with the patient, remember the following:
o Consider the patient's music preferences, and ask him or her if dancing is enjoyable
o Consider the patient's physical abilities
o Use tapes, records, or the radio
Art Activities-
Art activities help to improve the patient's self-image and do not require verbal skills. They provide control and choice, and are failure free. Art helps to recreate life stories. Art activities provide socialization and are an avenue for creativity.
• Involve life stories in the art
• Consider the patient's abilities
• Display the patient's artwork
Holiday Activities-
Holidays are wonderful opportunities to share and reminisce about past memories. It is important to always provide celebrations for special occasions and cultural events. At times, holidays can be depressing and agitating to the patient, so discover which holidays and special events the patient celebrated and how they preferred to celebrate.
You can give back the joy of holidays and special occasions by celebrating the following:
• Holidays
• Birthdays

a Crown'd Cup
a fable illuminating what is truly precious.
He was a hunched and toothless creature, a shuffling pile of old rags older bones. He looked at me with two different eyes; one containing a splash of blue, the other misted over in white.
"You fancy it, yes?" he cooed with a hard rasp, gums clapping and lips smacking. "You can have it – for a price."
"And what makes you think I desire it?" came my cool retort.
"Everyone has an eye for things such as these."
True, I guess. In this case, the thing was a worn cup, clearly crafted with care and painted with delicate lines. It had caught my eye, and now it had captured my mind.
"It can be yours," he prattled. "I simply need a new cup to replace it."
Surely he must have other motives. A simple trade? This doesn't seem right.
He babbled on still. "You see, this is all I have to drink with, but I can drink from it no longer." Parched lips clapped and dry gums smacked as he spoke once more.
I risked a short laugh, and said, "But only the rim is chipped. It is still useful."
"Oh, but that isn't the problem, good sir," he laughed back, his chuckles like heaves and gasps. "I cannot drink what is poured in here, you see?" A twinkle entered his blue eye then, a mad smile quivered on his lips. "It all turns, changes."
"What do you mean?" I asked, complete curiosity consuming my consciousness. It was stupid to encourage him, but I did, I had to; I needed to know.
"It becomes, g-g-guh," he stammered for a few moments, struggling with excitement.
Out with it! I demanded in my mind, but stayed silent knowing the madman only needed time.
"It all turns to… gold."
"Gold?" My response was sceptical.
"Yes, I swear it by the skies above," he whispered in a hush, eyes wide in self-induced awe.
Curiosity still held the reins, so I made the decision to test the man, the urchin. I had nowhere better to be at the moment, no pressing matters to attend to. Besides, this was a game I had no way to lose.
"Well, might I have a demonstration before I make the trade?"
The man nodded, a quick succession of head bobs. He held his prize in rough and wrinkled hands, a contrast to the smooth curves of the cup. He stared at it intently; I stared at it as well. It was as if we expected it to do something on its own, something spectacular.
Instead, he puckered his lips, wrinkled his nose and contorted his face.
A look of disgust crossed my face, accompanied by the thought, Why would he spit in the thing he's trying to trade me?
He tilted the cup toward himself and smiled, a toothless arc that split his face in two.
"See?" he coughed, turning the cup over into his hand.
I gasped as I witnessed it, a single drop of liquid pooled in the centre of his palm, a shimmer and a scintillation reflecting the sun.
"But it is a liquid, see?" he said as he emptied his palm onto the ground. I watched as the drip of gold fell, animated, before splashing on the ground, casting smaller pearls of gold in all directions, each its own sphere of sunlight.
"A cup you shall have, then," I started, stunned. "Many, even!"
I couldn't believe that he was trading such an instrument for nothing! Riches and fortune lay in his hands, but he was casting it all off in return for such a simple object.
"No," he smiled, the manic grin was gone but the glimmer in his good eye still sparkled. "I am only one man and need only one cup. To have more would be too much a burden to carry."
"Very well. I will be back with a cup for you shortly."
Cups may be simple things, but they have the power to create great change. That is, after all, what this one did for me.

Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery Sligo Reviews
9 reviews
Waste of time Jul 08, 2008
Before the trip to Ireland, I read about the history of this country and was the most amazed and mesmerized by its ancient culture dating back to stone age. Therefore, when traveling, I wanted to see at least some of the very first man-created structures in Europe or maybe even the world.
Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery was on my way from Sligo, so I decided to make a visit.
In short - those were 30 minutes of my life I might never get back for which I should sue the government of Ireland.
There are several stone circles, burial sites - etc, all very nice, apart from the fact that nearly all of them are fake. There USED TO BE some structures in the past as they have found SOME STONES that appeared to be... (etc). What you actually see there has no historical value at all. If you want - build a stone circle in your backyard and have the same effect.
If you don't feel like carrying stones - you might see the Carrowmore cemetery for a small price of 3 euros(?) with some explanations and have a view from the hill. No additional value is suggested.

The TZ5 is really a pretty simple camera, designed to be quick and easy to use. It has no manual exposure options, and only three main shooting modes with a correspondingly simple control layout. Main mode selection is via the control dial on the top plate, offering a normal program auto mode, two scene mode settings so you can quickly switch between different shooting conditions, and the Intelligent Auto mode in which the camera automatically selects the appropriate scene mode, ISO setting and exposure mode. As well as these there is the Clipboard mode, which shoots a low-res 2MP picture and saves it to the camera's internal memory. According to the manual this is intended for taking photos of maps and timetables, but why this needs a special separate function is a mystery to me.
Frequently used shooting adjustments, such as ISO setting, drive mode, white balance, exposure mode and picture quality can be quickly set using a simple on-screen live menu. Most of these can also be adjusted via the extremely comprehensive main menu, along with the usual basic set-up functions.
The zoom action is especially nice. It is controlled by a rotary bezel around the shutter button, and is not stepped. The control has a two-speed action; move the bezel a little and the zoom moves slowly, move it further and the zoom moves faster. This makes accurate framing both quick and accurate, and it is a pleasure to use.
One unusual feature that might come in handy is the travel date and location setting. Before you go on holiday you can enter your travel dates and location using a simple text entry interface, and this is recorded along with your pictures, so when you display your photos on the monitor or the supplied PhotoFunStudio software they appear with a superimposed caption, such as "Paris, France, 3rd day", which can optionally be added to the picture as a text stamp. When you're not on holiday, a similar function in the Baby and Pet scene mode allows you to add the child or pet's name and age to your photos.
The TZ5 has a good video mode, capable of shooting at up to 1280 x 720 pixel resolution at 30fps. The camera has a component video output socket so you can view your movies on a HD TV in superior quality, although the cable required to connect it is an optional extra.
The camera's LCD monitor is exceptionally sharp; in fact with a resolution of 460,800 dots it is around twice as sharp as most other camera monitors, including the one on the TZ4. It is also nice and bright, and I had no trouble using it in bright daylight. The angle of view isn't too great but it has a high-angle setting which helps if you need to shoot over a crowd.

I agree with your verdict. I used to have the Pana FZ5, which served me well until it was stolen. But lets face it, though ligth and versatile, its shape makes it a bit of a bother when travelling.
So I went for the TZ5 this time. I recently returned from a trip to China (no, not the Olympics!), where it has fully proved that it is sturdy (I dropped it any numer of times, clumsy me), fast and handy. Of the 24 people in the party I travelled with, I was the one with the smalles, handiest - and cheapest - camera. I was also the only one who succeded in taking a good shot of the 'diamond' at the precise moment when the total solar eclipse ended. Admittedly, the others have some fabulous shots from the rest of the trip, but I simply would not carry the weight they did.
I enjoyed the creative possibilities of the FZ5, and at times even dreamt of something more advanced, but the FZ5 taught me that when the rare photo-op presents itself, there mostly isn't time to fidde too much with settings.
The possibilities with TZ5 match very nicely with my needs when travelling and for family shots, and I have yet to see a shot it could not make.
Warmly recommended.
At last! Thank you, Cliff :)
I have one myself, and it outperformed my 400D as a 'holiday' camera in and around NYC. Some focus trouble when taking movies- but other than that it is just superb.
This is nothing to do with the ability of the camera, but why have they made it from both stainless steel and aluminium? This means that galvanic corrosion could be a problem particularly if it gets wet. Maybe not a problem because most people will only keep it a few years, but it seems a shame to make it so sturdy then build in a problem like that.
A nice review as always ... but is the TZ5 worth the extra money over and above the TZ4 ?
hiii.. i bought a lumix tz 5. i am satisfied with the performance,but there is one big problem.. the picture quality and colour is outstanding in the camera lcd but when i transfer it to computer, the colour is reduced significantly. why is it so? and yeah,when auto correct is done in microsoft picture viwere the colour is restored. what could be wrong? i shoots in ia mode. any settings to be changed for better colour? author please advise.
Nambiar: Could be that your computer monitor isn't calibrated to match your camera's LCD or it could be the other way around.
I researched digital cameras for travel and choose the tz5 and am very impressed! The camera has impressive zoom capabilities with the 10x optical and using built in settins such as the "food" setting enables the 40x zoom and is one of the best settings to take photos of flowers, butterflies where you are about 1.5 to 2' feet away and it provides great shots with the flower/butterfy in focus and the backround slightly blurred! There are many built in settings and I have only used a few so far. I am a newbie to digital cameras but have taken the best pictures thus far from any camera with the tz5. People have complained about low light but I read up on DPR review forums and got great examples and advise from many users showing great pictures taken under low light with the TZ5 that amazed me! I've used the IA mode often but when in low light I often set the manual mode to max iso 400, no flash, natural color, and auto for the various other settings and the pictures come out great! I sometimes take a quick one with the IA to compare or switch the manual back to flash and while they all are good often the no flash turns out more natural. I've seen people take shots with it set to iso of 800 and 1200 and they turned out great. I learned from the forums that many camera nuts talk about specs often comparing more finite performance differences found in large DSLR cameras that only a serious camera freak would detect.
I also love the HD movie feature of the camera! This is to me the best camera for travel and overal general use for most people not needing a big fancy bulky camera. The wide angle is a major plus as when you travel this camera enables you to capture all the people and the backround you want even when very close! I took a shot in Toronto Canada right below the CNN tower and the wide angle enabled me to take a shot that had the entire tower and I was so close I did not think I could do that! I reccomend to get at least one extra battery which can be had online often for 20-30 bucks for a factory or 5-10 for a generic. Also I got a Sandik extreme III 8gig online for about 35 bucks and that can shoot something like 1900 pictures! This to me is the best all around camera for travel with the ultra wide angle, huge optical zoom and HD movie capabilities!
Hi All,
great review, I really like the tz5 and Im very close to buying it but need to know just one thing.
My lads ride BMX freestyle,I need to know would this camera be able to cope with this sort of action shot(with it not having manual set up)?
i have read the reviews on the TZ2 TZ3 TZ4 and TZ5 and i am stuck on which one to get its either the TZ3 and the TZ5, which one would you strongly recommend me getting
I bought the TZ5 and i absolutely love it! @Bushiee: if you want action pix, buy a dslr. In holland a Nikon D40 can be bought for 210 pounds, for fast moving subjects a dslr is the tool. In compacts the slow focusing and viewfinder blackouts during burst shooting mean that you miss more moments than capture them. Take a compact to a airshow and try to take pics of jets streaking by! :-)
As for the TZ5: when i don't have to take the dslr with me i always carry the Panny and this little gem ROCKS!!! the wide angle and the ultra tele capabilities make it the winner in its class. for all purpose pictaking in not to demanding situations this is the cam to have!!!
I'm after a zoom camera mainly for taking photos at concerts and football matches. I have a brilliant Fuji camera but it only has a 3 x optical zoom and I'd pretty much decided on the TZ5 - however after reading the above comments I'm a bit concerned that it's not going to be able to cope with acts moving around on stage or footballers running up and down the pitch in full zoom mode!! Any suggestions on alternatives, or advice on whether the TZ5 will meet my needs would be gratefully received
I currently own the TZ1 and am looking to replace it. It is between the new TZ5 and the Canon SP-110 IS. I take a lot of sports pictures and do a lot of photo cropping. Any recomendations?
I have several cameras, one of which is the Pana TZ5. Whilst it is OK on outdoors scenes and video, I find it sadly lacking on indoor scenes with varying light areas. I have tried the Intelligent Auto for such scenes but it just cannot cope!. Trying to view a TV screen it still operated flash with obvious reflected light spot. I have also tried it during a childrens Halloween party in doors which had varying lighting, and nearly all the shots were a disaster, many over-exposed and many under-exposed - so I Auto is not as clever as Panasonic tell us! I am disappointed with it!
I am looking at buying the TZ3, TZ4 or TZ5. Apart from the difference in MPs and the larger screen on the TZ5, is there much difference between the models? Any help would be appreciated so I can choose a camera before going on holiday. Thanks.
I have just got one and I must say that all positive reviews of this camera are true. Built like a tank, blazing fast, easy to use, very good photo quality and not costing you an arm and a leg. Clearly one of the best travelling cameras on the market.
I have a DSLR, but it's too much camera for me (I really like it, it's a Nikon, but I just haven't put in the time to learn all the gadgetry on it and I've had it for over 3 years) and am looking for something that will do what I need but in a smaller, simpler to use camera. I'd like a more compact camera, but some of it's usage is going to be going to car races and I really would like to be able to take some shots of the cars in action without blurring (afraid I didn't even accomplish that with the DSLR). Can someone give an idea of what would be a good camera for that, or tell me where would be a good place to learn how to accomplish that with the camera I have now? I'd still like a compact also and this sounds like a nice one, even if that means I'd have to haul around two of them.
I own this camera and really think it is a good camera but I agree that Intelligent Auto is not too intelligent..or maybe, but for example, when I am indoor I prefer to use flash instead of increasing ISO to 800 or 1600. Some times this camera prefer to increase ISO thus decreasing picture quality. I like this camera but I do not use the Intelligent Auto option, instead you have a photo option, and I set this to ISO 100, Auto-Flash, 9Megapixels, high quality picture, and this camera works pretty good!
I was lucky enough to find the TZ5 cheapo on eBay.
If you can use the HD video setting - you need to buy a special cable - the results are superb.
I gave up using iA very quickly as the results were often quite poor. Using 'Normal Picture' you get a bit more control - no aperture or shutter - and so far the results have been much better.
I'm pleased with scene modes, and specially Sport. On the TZ3 which I had before, the sport mode went for a higher ISO rather than a faster shutter speed which was useless.
This one seems to deliver a higher shutter setting.
I would have preferred manual settings, but to find such an excellent movie mode is a huge plus.
can sum 1 help me out. im buying a cam shortly nd cant decide weder d TZ5 is worth d money. i mostly take outdoor shots nd rarely will take indoor or nite shots. is d TZ5 gud , if not is der ne odr cam better dan dis 1 less dan $250
Jeremy - I'm sorry, but I'm not even going to attempt to translate that gibberish. If you'd like us to take the time to answer your question, it seems only polite that you should make the effort to type it in plain English.
Hi everyone, looking for a new camera at the moment. (Only owned 1 digicam in my life, a Samsung Digimax 5MP bought a few years ago) Besides the megapixels count and the wide lens, is there any other differences between the TZ5 and TZ7? I really like the TZ7 and but it is a bit too expensive for me and am wondering if the TZ5 is a good camera at this time or is it considered to be outdated or the likes?
Cheers for any responses.
oh sorry bout that. im buying a camera shortly nd just cant decide wat to buy. i hav been reading alot about the TZ5 . can anyone tell me about the image qaulity outdoors since i will mostly take outdoor shots. i hope the indoor image quality is acceptable? wat do u tink?
Dear Jeremy (or should that be Yo Jeremy),
Sorry to bleat on old chap, but do you think you could possibly refrain from using your modern day vernacular. We 'ordinary' chaps have great difficulty in understanding your 'hop-hip' lingo! As this is a forum for camera users and not 'Gangsta' Rappers from Queens would it be possible for you to use a language that we all understand. That means constructing sentences that are grammatically correct and consist of words that have been spelled correctly.
Greetings and salutations!
nah i am not the gangsta rapper type of guy, just an sms guy.anyways you took so long to reply that i went ahead and bought the canon sx110is. i hope i have made the right choice.

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson has warned employees they should think twice about reporting sexual harassment to HR
Change is a normal part of life which enables us to grow and develop, says one medical practitioner
Q. I will be redundant by the end of July. I have had over 20 years'experience in HR and three years ago took the ambitious route of widening my career and carrying out a general management role while retaining the HR senior position within a manufacturing site.
I am fully qualified and consider myself to be a commercially focused senior HR professional but I cannot seem to secure a new senior HR position.
I am told that I am too experienced, not experienced enough and that progressing into a general management role has made me less marketable as an HR person as I am viewed as being away from the HR profession for too long.
I have even tried to move into the public sector but recent experience of this tells me that this is just not going to happen.
Is this the end of my HR career? How can I stop this from happening?
A. There are definitely opportunities for HR senior managers with hands-on experience as a general manager.
As a senior HR manager with general manager experience you can offer more to a company as you are able to better engage the senior managers on the business decisions.
HR managers/directors require certain attributes where they need to understand how the business operates, what the business does to make money and how to add value to the bottom line.
The senior managers look to HR to help business be more competitive, improving the culture of the business and understanding how business operates.
HR managers need work with the CEOs on developing leaders, culture and talent management though guidance.
The HR area is moving away from the functional role to a more strategic executive partnership.
With over 20 years' experience in HR you can leverage off your industry contacts and networking opportunities. It is valuable to stay in touch with ex-bosses and colleagues for future opportunities and often the best references and contacts come from people you know or have previously known through business.
There are many networking functions through seminars and networking HR industry meetings you can attend on a regular and reoccurring basis where you can help market yourself and discover opportunities which are not always advertised.
When you are actively looking you should have a suitable marketing tool to assist you target the appropriate roles and companies you would like to work for. By having a structured plan it can assist you in working with a strategic marketing plan.
The marketing tool would have what your professional objectives are and what direction or style of organisation would attract you. Look at what essential job functions the role would have and what desired job functions you would be attracted to.
Having a profile on you in regard to your vision, strengths and achievements, assists all potential employers.
Have a target market where you have been successful, where you understand the industry and can offer added value to the business.
Secondly, look at the size, location and culture of the organisations you would like to target.
Finally, research specific companies you would like to target and market your résumé to suit the roles and the companies you would like to approach.
HR skills are transferable into the private and public sectors when you have strong HR skills and experience.
This is not the end of your career but an opportunity for you to show potential employers that the combination of your great HR and general management experience is an advantage to any organisation – by understanding the business needs as well as HR.
By Julie Carran, general manager,2discover.

shes coming back to life
well after chasing a severe miss fire on my svt i concluded it wasn't the basics after changing plugs wires coil coil pig tail etc, so i decided to pull her in the shop and diagnose needless to say i dropped a cylinder, so i pulled the head and sent it away to a local machine shop, everything checked out ok for the mileage so i proceeded to pull the motor and get in contact with turbotom.
After tom had disassembled the motor i had become a victim of failed ring lands at a mileage of 90k i decided to have the whole motor rebuilt and go with his tune to keep an svtf alive i figure ill share a few pictures with you guys please enjoy
The engine is still a stock svt motor but i did a few things to spruce up the look under the hood, i ceramic coated the oem header after i cut the heat shield nuts off and smoothed them,powder coated the valve cover ford blue with a wrinkle finish and i took a wire wheel to the trans and it brought the finish to a polished look, in addition to my prior mods, cfm 67mm throttle body,race dog bone mount,steeda short throw etc i went with toms tune and a new clutch while i have it apart.
I still plan on adding an orp or hfc as well as an fs werks stealth kit but overall i definitely didn't half ass in the clean looks department, I encourage anyone to use tom if you have to have an engine redone we did have a few delays as far as back orders and other things but in the long run i was impressed to see my engine arrive painted and oil free, he seemed to take same pride in his work and he is fair on pricing.
Heres the vehicle before
low compression cylinder 1
flintstone powered
SWEET!!! Glad your getting it back on the road. This may be in my near future also....212000 miles and its starting to run a little iffy
lets just hope this time im able to get more than 90k out of her before she dies, i put 45,000 miles on it and when i bought it it had auto lite double plats that are for a regular ztec and apparently any thing other than an oem plug can cause engine damage,possibly thats why she lived a short life
Looks good! Is she up and running? How's it feel?
Not running yet I had to have reconstructive surgery on my left hand this week after an accident but I'm hoping within the next few weeks to have it back on the road
Nice man! Good looking ride too! What was the round about cost of the rebuild if you don't mind sharing?
1735 for the motor including, parts, labor, machine work and assembly , it's all fresh pistons,rods,head,water pump, oil pump bearings etc, 350 in an sct xcal3 with tune, 375 for my luk clutch complete kit thru parts geek new, 120 to blast and ceramic coat my oem header, about 250 in misc things (trans fluid,trans seals, gaskets, flywheel bolts etc.)
Sounds like you'll be ready to rock and roll soon with that bad boy! Doesn't sound too awful bad considering what's gone into it. Looks good cleaned up as well!
Yeah cars super clean I bought it with low miles and its been paid off two years, I have a backup vehicle too, really wasn't a finacial issue because I was working 70 hours a week and making good money on overtime.
damn thats not a bad price. Glad to see an svt motor getting a rebuild

Well, we know what Red and jmw will be up to. Anyone else got weekend plans?So... Jamwow is MINE ! MINE! She arrives at the Mpls Intergalactic Airport in 3 hours and I'm going to take her to Sex World, have her get an Obama tattoo, and we're getting drunk with Twins fans.
Tonight me and the girls are going out to dinner with the MIL. Dickie has rehearsal and FIL is in Europe, so we're stuck entertaining ourselves.
Sat: Swimming, which I'm looking forward to since Lulu decided it was fun, and then the preliminary run-through for the ice show, which I'm not looking foward to. Lots of sitting around in a down coat while my bum slowly freezes - must remember the stadium seat-pads, perhaps that will slow the freezing process...
Sun: Happy Mothers' Day! Will be sleeping in, then getting a late breakfast/early lunch at a restaurant we've never been to before. Not sure which one, but we're leaning towards Homer's (PE and AS, for sure we'll be trying the peppermint ice cream) and then going to the Botanic Gardens to see the dogwoods in bloom. Hopefully we won't freeze; the high is predicted to be only in the 50's. Grrr.
So Happy Mothers' Day to the Regs that applies to, and I hope it's a lovely day.

I am 6 weeks post op. I got 450 cc gel under the muscle. Any suggestions?
I was very flat chested with very little breast tissue, My breasts are still numb above the incision all the way to the top of the areola I'm hoping I'll regain feeling but what is bothering me most is that my breasts are cold to the touch will that subside in time? Thank you
Doctor Answers 3
6 weeks post Breast Augmentation
Thank you for your question. It can take up to 6 months or even longer to regain full sensation in the breast, especially with such large implants. I would give it until 6 months and then talk with your plastic surgeon if you still have concerns. If you would like more information regarding breast augmentation and the recovery process you can download a free copy of my breast augmentation planner at ABetterBreast.com.
Web reference: http://www.utahcosmeticbreastsurgery.com/salt-lake-city-breast-implants.html
Gel implants with thin coverage
as you have will always reflect what the ambient temperature is so if in AC conditions, they will always be colder than your normal body temperature. If you lived in my town and went sunbathing right now, your breasts would be hotter than your normal temperature. You don't have enough tissue to provide a more stable temperature to your breasts. Sensation will hopefully get better and if anyone criticizes you about the temperature, then you know they are not someone you want to spend much time with.
6 weeks post op BA
Thank you for your question. You are still very early in your healing period and things will continue to change over the next 5 months. Please contact your plastic surgeon for their post op care recommendations.

We created and founded this essay writing service because we were struggling when we were in college. It is not that we didn't know the material; it is that we didn't have enough time to complete our essays and written assignments. People overlook the fact that student fees are higher than they have ever been before, and to make some money, save money, and outright lower the amount of debt being accrued, most students need to work whilst in college or university, and that means not having time to write your essays. We needed essay writing services when we were in college and we couldn't find them, so now we have built a team so we may offer them to modern students.
The answer is no they are not. People get confused because it is illegal to take the work of another and pass it off as your own, but with our essay writing service you are given full rights to the essay work you purchase. This means you can legally put your name to it, hand it in as your own, and even use it for commercial purposes if you wish. We can write your essays for you and you can use them as you wish. Some students put their names to our work and hand it in, and others use our work as a guide to help them create their own version of our essay.
The first step is to get your assignment to us as quickly as possible. The sooner you get it to us, then the longer you can set the deadline for. A longer deadline means a lower price. Secondly, you can write a little bit of the essay yourself and save yourself money through ordering fewer pages. If there is a section or question that you can answer on your own, then leave that one off your assignment and let us do the rest. Thirdly, you can pick a lower quality standard if you want a lower quote. It will mean your work will not score as highly, but that is not often a problem for most average-performing students. Finally, use the discount codes we put on our website and on social media because they can save you a bundle.
Our privacy policy means that we cannot disclose your purchase or your details to other companies. When you say, "write my essay" to us, you are saying it in secret. It is passed to your writer via a closed and secure network, and when the essay is completed it is sent to the email address of your choice.
This helps to ensure your essay is not resold and ensures it is not stolen. It also removes any evidence linking you to the essay in hand. That way, even if you were silly enough to tell your college that you used our essay writing service, there is no way they can find the essay we wrote on our servers (even with a subpoena). We take all of these steps and more to protect our student customers, which is why students come back to us term after term.

Latest News from Camp Cedarbrook October 2016
Dear Cherith/Cedarbrook Community,
On Tuesday, October 4, 2016, we completed the process of transferring ownership of NECC's property. Our camp is now entrusted to Camp Berea in NH, an organization deeply committed to reaching youth and families for Jesus Christ through camping ministry. This is a bittersweet moment: while we mourn the laying to rest of NECC, we hope for the future of this place which holds so many dear memories for all of us. Thank you so much for your faithful service and commitment to NECC through the decades, and for your prayers and support in this last year.
One day soon, laughter and singing will float from the open windows of the Dining Hall again. The "thwacks" of campers hitting the tetherball back and forth will sound on the hill. The speed boat will make donuts on the lake, the buzz of its motor almost drowned out by the shrieking delight of the tubers. Girls and boys will fall asleep in cabins, anxious to wake up to a new day at camp. And most importantly, campers and staff alike will hear of the rugged cross and the empty tomb: how Jesus' death and resurrection give us new life and fill us with hope.
After the Carry the Torch weekend was over, I wandered out to Rocky Knoll. As I sat on the shoreline, watching mist drift over the water, I reflected on how clear it is that this camp is Jesus' camp. He commended it to our care for a while; now He commends it to others. But, as Nate Parks, the Executive Director of Berea, said clearly over that weekend, the leadership of Berea wants us to carry the torch with their community. I hope that we will respond to that call to continue to tell of Jesus' Good News on a hill by a lake in the woods of Maine.
In Christ,
Molly Jane Layton, on behalf of the NECC Board of Directors
Gary Hobday
Carol Hobday
Woody McLendon
Mary McLendon

We look back on some of the great paragliding stories we've covered. You don't have to be an aerial sports fan to be in awe of these feats.
1. Surf and sky in the South Pacific
Tom de Dorlodot and Horacio Llorens headed off to Tahiti, the Tuamotus and beyond in search of new launches and new adventures. It's a far cry from the typical alpine environment that we usually see paragliding in – and it's totally awesome.
2. Red Bull X-Alps
It's the granddaddy of them all – the biggest cross-country paragliding race in the world, spanning 1,000km from Salzburg to Monaco. 2013 saw the fastest year ever, with Christian 'Chrigel' Maurer from Switzerland taking the crown.
3. Go soaring and swimming with Horacio Llorens
Among the adventures that befell Llorens during his South Pacific trip was getting sucked into a cloud and spat out 5 miles away from land, forcing him to land in the Pacific Ocean. We'll tell you now that he made it – but you'll still want to watch.
4. Big flights in big skies
The American west offers incredible opportunities for big flights – but sometimes, things don't always go according to plan. Gavin McClurg and the 500 Miles to Nowhere team show us how to cope.
5. Soloing the Pyrenees
Yes, you're seeing Tom de Dorlodot's name here quite a bit – but that's because the man does no shortage of awesome stuff – like his solo crossing of the Pyrenees. One man, one wing, one very long trip.
6. Get high above the Himalayas
They're the tallest mountains in the world – and paragliding over them is no simple task. Bulgarian pilot Veso Ovcharov and friends give us an aerial view of Masherbrum from 6,300m up.
7. An out-and-back record on the Australian Coast
It's not paragliding, but it's definitely free-flight – and it's awesome. Watch hang-gliding master Jonny Durand set a world record going up and down the Australian coast.
Bonus: the world's natural wonders from above
From the pyramids of Giza to the winding Amazon River, paraglider pilots get a view of the world that few others ever have the chance to experience.

Pro-GMO Spin Diverts Attention From Root Causes Of Hunger
(Photo: AP Photo/Armando Franca)
The pro-GMO lobby spends much of its time and resources attacking critics who have genuine concerns about GM technology. These attacks are designed to whip up emotive, populist sentiment and denigrate critics. In part, this approach aims to divert attention from the underlying causes of hunger and poverty as well as the commercial interests and political motivations of the pro-GM lobby itself.
The pro-GMO lobby has a long history of well-orchestrated smear campaigns against individuals and groups, pro-GM propaganda (see this about the sweet potato) and dirty tricks.
For instance, former U.K. environment minister Owen Paterson describes critics of GM as a "green blob" bunch of anti-science Luddites. Then there is Fellow of the U.K. Royal Society Sir Richard John Roberts who implies that critics have a political agenda.
Roberts says if you don't want to eat GMOs, then don't -- conveniently ignoring that fact that at least $100 million was spent in the U.S. to prevent mandatory labelling of GM food. He has also expressed dismay over the delay in the production of Golden Rice. Mirroring the propaganda of the pro-GMO lobby, Roberts says though Golden Rice became a reality in February 1999, the opposition to GM has ensured that it is not currently available. Recent research by Washington University shows this is simply not the case.
Another prominent scientist-cum-lobbyist, Anthony Trewavas, calls on critics to defer to (pro-GM) scientists and stop forcing their authoritarian views on people, thus denying choice and GM to consumers and farmers alike.
However, the GM agritech industry is driven by self-interest. And the GMO project is based on fraud and the capturing and corrupting of international and national bodies, including the WTO, bilateral trade deals, governments and regulatory bodies. The massive financial clout and the capture of key political institutions (thereby curtailing the option of prioritizing more productive and sustainable models of agriculture) constitute the power base of global agribusiness corporations.
If anything matters to the pro-GMO lobby, it clearly has little to do with "choice" or objective science. It has more to do with undermining and debasing these concepts (see "Monsanto wants to know why people doubt science"). If it were to genuinely embrace these values, along with "humanitarianism," a concept it also lays claim to, it would flag up and protest against the corporate capture of science and the infiltration by commercial agribusiness interests of public institutions. It would also protest against the way trade, agriculture and aid is used to subjugate regions to the needs of powerful commercial entities.
But it won't. Eric Holt-Giménez has indicated that the companies driving the GM agenda fuel and benefit from these processes. The World Bank, World Trade Organization, World Food Program, The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the likes of Cargill, Syngenta, DuPont and Monsanto carefully avoid addressing the root causes of the food crisis. The "solutions" they prescribe are rooted in the same policies and technologies that created the problem in the first place: increased food aid, de-regulated global trade in agricultural commodities and more technological and genetic fixes. These measures only strengthen the corporate status quo controlling the world's food. Eric concludes that the future of our food is being decided de facto by unregulated global markets, financial speculators and global monopolies.
It should therefore come as no surprise that these companies and their PR foot soldiers (whether scientists or media people) set out to attack those who campaign against GM and who desire genuine food democracy and proper accountability.
While certain molecular biologists argue that adopting GM would offer plentiful and affordable food, it seems they fail to recognize the line between science and propaganda. It must be understood that these people are not economists, anthropologists, environmental scientists, health professionals, political scientists or trade policy analysts.
Spouting out personal opinion while waving a science PhD does not mean that we should automatically bow before some self-appointed scientific priesthood. No amount of gene splicing or fine-sounding rhetoric can overcome the structural factors that lead to poverty and malnutrition. The geopolitics of food and agriculture, structural inequality, debt repayment, trade policy, commodity speculation and access to land and credit, among other things, all determine whether there is plentiful, affordable food.
By focusing so heavily on GM, the pro-GMO lobby is attempting to divert attention away from the real issues that are fuelling food poverty and food insecurity and literally cash in on the problem with patented corporate seeds.
When it comes down to it, it's not really a case of being pro- or anti-GMO. It's a case of being anti-corruption and pro-democratic. When hugely powerful corporations flex their political and financial muscle, they can and do effectively slant science, politics and regulation to suit their own self-interest. People naturally become suspicious and demand transparency, genuine independent testing and genuine independent evaluations of the impacts of GM.
And people are right to be suspicious. Dr. Meryl Hammond, founder of the Campaign for Alternatives to Pesticides, told a Canadian Parliament committee some years ago that a raft of studies published in peer-reviewed journals point to strong associations between chemical pesticides and serious health consequences. And there is scientist Dr. Shiv Chopra who exposed to the public his many battles against the Canadian government which he says knowingly allowed carcinogenic pesticides to enter the food supply.
From sugar-drenched food to glyphosate, regulatory delinquency and the power of large corporations to exert influence over governments and public agencies is widespread. And GMOs are no different. Steven Druker has shown that widespread fraud and the subversion of science helped get GMOs on to the commercial market in the U.S.
Instead, what we get are smears and PR, which demonstrate a deep ideological commitment to corporate profit and power, rather than a willingness to address the concerns of those who question the efficacy of GMOs and the practices of companies, politicians and scientists who are promoting this technology.
