What I did
Dolphins, Snorkeling off Pemba Island
After the snorkeling trip today, I will try to get on the internet; no wi-fi here.
Our first experience was the dolphin sighting. Even though swimming with the dolphins was not on the schedule, the motorized dhow followed the dolphins and let people out to try to swim with them. After my last experience, I decided to watch from the boat in order to give myself a better opportunity to see them since my swimming ability isn't strong enough to bring me close to them generally. They were a beautiful sight - fins skimming the surface of the water in pairs and trios, then some arching bodies as they dove back into the water. Juliet was very excited because she was able to follow a mother and baby so closely that she could have touched them.
The snorkeling was fantastic: Right in the beginning, I saw close-knit groups of small yellow-orange fish and some black and white striped and brownish fish and some blue and yellow flat fat fish as well as white-yellow and black angel-type fish
Later on in the same area, I swam over the amazingly diverse coral and still saw some fish but never again so many in one place. There was a larger blue-turquoise fish and at the very end when I went back in I saw a bunch of long dark eel-like fish near the sandy bottom. I had had some trouble with my mask and snorkel so I went on board and got a new set and went out for a second time. I was considering myself quite brave because I was swimming with just the fins and no life jacket this time.
After snorkeling we had a beach BBQ with grilled tuna, rice with a sauce, and pineapple and mango slices. On our walk to the beach, we were cautioned to watch out for the sand blades, a sort of mollusk with razor-sharp edges. I wasn't seeing them, but one of the crew took my hand as I was trying to wend my way avoiding these creatures and told me to walk in his footsteps. Juliet watched as I teetered between various sea urchins along the path. On the way back, the tide had come in and apparently there was no danger. I managed to get back to the boat unaided and unscathed.
On the way back we hoped we could sail but they said there was not enough wind. Meanwhile we passed a stunning sight of about 50 dhows sailing out to catch fish. This was mid-afternoon by now. All during this trip we were struck by the beauty of the waters around the island: the bright white sand, the silhouettes of the boats against the brilliant blue sky. At one point the sky and water colors blended so perfectly, the horizon almost disappeared. It was truly idyllic.
After the snorkeling excursion, Juliet and I thought about a quick dip as we landed and as I obsessed about my trifling valuables, Juliet located Kellie and we saddled her briefly with our stuff...chatting to find out what she was up to. Juliet convinced me to go for a walk but somehow we got a dalla dalla (local transport truck with banks of seats along sides of truck bed and side panels decorated with elaborate scroll-work) most of the way and walked a short bit to the lighthouse. A guard immediately popped out to warn us about taking photos. I had been my usual nay-sayer to Juliet's plans, but the dalla dalla ride was delightful. Three young boys remained after they pushed grocery shop supplies out to a little kisok and they sang the Jambo song while the fiery red ball of sun lowered in the West over the trees. It was another magical moment
On the snorkeling trip, while talking to Herbert (the Dutch man sitting next to me), Juliet formulated a plan to fly from Stone Town to Dar es Salaam using Herbert's Zanzibar travel agent. She also managed to call Chris and cancel our Dar es Salaam pick-up to the airport. Our ferry ticket may go to waste though since it doesn't appear to be transferable.
On the way back, after being picked up at the rotary by the lighthouse, we were deposited back at the hotel reception by our privately-engaged dalla dalla. We went to dinner at the restaurant next door where I had some calamari. We saw Kellie and Matt - the only others left from our group. Now it was late: around 9 pm - past bedtime.

LONDON. ttxtra&of a Better from theHague, Sept. \. * The Retreat, of % he Allies over the Maefe, at a Time wheh we were told, they' only wanted an Opportunity to give Battle to Count Saxe, did at firft give us fame Surprize j but bur �rave men are now finding a Reafon for this Movement, with which we ought at prefeht to be very well contented. It was not: made; they fay, to avoid fighting the French ; but in order to be able to fight them at a greater Advantage. The Reinforcements coming from cermany, fince the Enemies have got Matters of the Maefe, cannot join Prince Charles by the Way intended, and theArtillery, which was very much wanted, can neither be of an^ Service at Maef-tricht, nor does there appear to be, any Way of getting it from thence. It was therefore neceflary to fecure a Communication with a friendly Country, by feme other River, and none was-left proper for that Purpofe but the MojelJe, By that Way, it is thought, even the Britifti Troops muft come up, and we need not doubt, but the Auftrians have prosper Inftru&ions. ' A decifive Battle, between the whole Strength of the Powers of War, is a Thing that fometiftjes does not happen in feveral Campaigns i snd fo much depends upon it, that it ought not to be rafhly rifled; efr/ecially when there is a View of doing it with better Profpett by a fhort Delay. rFhis is certainly now the Caff wuh the'Allies, whotxpeft not only a Reinforcement of Auftrians, and the Britifh Battalions of w'hofe Landing we had an Account, but the 6000 Bavarians taken into" the Pay of the Maritime Powers, and now upott the March up the Danube. ' As to Namur and Maeftricht, the Enemies have certainly an Opportunity of fetting dosvn before either, or ho.hof them, if they think properBut theQueftion is whether this will be prudent in them, when by fo doing, they muft leave the Allies at Liberty to live'at free Quarter either in lamia or Champaign, as they fhall think proper. And the taking ofia ftrong' Town, tho' it be, the laft of the Dutch Barrier, it is believed, the French, will not think equivalent to the ravaging of a whole Province or two in ancient France, which has not yet felt the Effects of the War, othetwiie than by the Contributions they have paid. ' Betides, .we are in hopes that while Prince. Charles waits for Reinforcements; M. Saxe willljiave quite contrary Expectations. An Irruption into Provence; *of which there is now great Probability,would* call for many of the Troops from the Netherlands, efpecially if the Spaniards, as is credibly given out,,would leave the French to fhift for themfeives in their Retreat from Loin-bardy.' It is confidently affirmed, that there, are certain Schemes forrn'd, and are immediately to be, put in Execution, which will in all Probability Re-pay the Court of Frahoe, far the Calamities. fhe brought on the Inhabitant? of this Kingdom, by fomenting and encouraging the late Unnatural Rebellion; and for breaking the Faith of All the Treaties fhe bad made with All the Powers which fhe is now at War with.-^-To which let every True-Briton fey Amen.

Mr. Comer, Vicar of Kingfton, in Surry, who its thought will take the fame himfeiF, being about 300 L per Annum, and the latter is in the Gift of the Provoft and Fellows of Eton. -^The Vicar of Kingfton has five Chappels in his Difpo-fel, viz.

Tess and Dave
Who in the world are Tess & Dave?
You may better know Dave as David Vandervelde, the producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist known for his solo career and collaborations with the late Jay Bennett (Wilco). At age 20, Dave moved into Bennett's Pieholden Suite Sound studio. While there, he blossomed under Bennett's tutelage, writing and recording tracks for his debut solo album and co-producing Bennett's The Magnificent Defeat. In recent years, Dave has toured the world playing guitar in Father John Misty's live band. He has also toured in support of Centro-matic, Spoon, Richard Swift, Magnolia Electric Company, Blitzen Trapper, and Dr. Dog, to name a few. Those years and experiences were home to creative discovery via collaborations and the rise and fall of relationships, which rendered Dave ready for something more.
But that was the Dave before there was a Tess. And there was a Tess before there was a Dave. Tess Shapiro has been making music since the age of 16, first focusing on guitar and vocals, then adding synth and percussion through the years. Inspired by Joni Mitchell, she is self-taught and primarily plays by ear, which lends to her music a creative, unexpected sound. That sound is what led Tess to collaborate with many bands through the years, including Los Angeles-based Two Sheds.
Tess & Dave as mutually exclusive units ceased to exist the first time Dave saw Tess on stage with Two Sheds. The moment he saw her perform, he knew he had to start a band with her. Through their collaboration, Dave has experienced a creative rebirth, one that has allowed him to explore new styles and depths that might never be possible as a solo artist, and certainly not as imaginable without Tess.
Together, Tess & Dave create songs that are simultaneously familiar and curious. "Social Chess" initially plays along as a sad breakup song at the surface, but it blossoms as a happy song of self-awareness and personal freedom in the vein of Harry Nilsson. The lush, psychedelic "Take a Dip in My Dreams" harkens back to the heyday of Jeff Lynne; its lyrics carry the listener through a journey that straddles both the mundane and the whimsical, resulting in a phantasmagorical love song.
Early this Spring, Tess & Dave toured the entire USA, as main support Father John Misty, playing to sold out rooms, and making a few thousand friends along the way. Tess & Dave's eponymous debut EP will be released on Friendship Fever on August 26, and their debut LP is expected in early 2017.
Tess & Dave is the new recording project of Tess Shapiro and David Vandervelde. After releasing two vastly different albums on Secretly Canadian, David Vandervelde established himself as one of those "favorite bands" of your favorite band, and one of the best "guitars-for-hire" in the country. Following relocations from Nashville to Chicago, Chicago to Los Angeles, and then a chance encounter at a Two Sheds show in Long Beach, Dave met Tess. Together, they were able to leave pain behind, and began writing and recording this collection of songs.
Tess & Dave's debut showcases their lush musical compositions in tandem with, at times rueful and wry lyrical expressions of personal heartache, loss and self-discovery. Recorded on the beach with Frank Lenz (Damien Jurado, Starflyer 59, Pedro the Lion) & Eli Thomson (Father John Misty, Everest, Richard Swift). Their forthcoming debut full length will be released in early 2017.

Miller's radio show is really good – I think he fits in well with that medium. Gift of gab and rant, yadda yadda.
Highly recommended if you liked this.

Thank God someone agrees with my household and office. Reid is generally as obnoxious about everything as Bush is specifically on Immigration. No matter who walks by the channel is changed, everyone says thanks.

Thank you Mr. Miller.
Still laughing (btw, there is no laugh track, that is a live audience).
Talk about putting all six in the 10 Ring!
Hit 'im again, Dennis. I thought I saw Harry twitch.
Jack Deth on June 10, 2007 at 11:54 PM
Note to Senate Democrats: Keep up the good work.
Don't celebrate too much. A lot of that crumble is due to them pissing off the anti-war crowd. If they cut the funding for Iraq, you're apt to see their numbers creep up.

YOW! I was flinching and I'm SO not Harry Reid.
I guess this definitively means that FOX will be a target of the "fairness doctrine" dragnet.

On the off-chance no one is aware of it, Dennis Miller has a radio show now. A simple web search will bring up the show's home page, where you can follow the links for live listening or archived podcasts. Good stuff.
Graybark on June 11, 2007 at 12:02 AM
Right on! Hot damn, It's Miller time!
Some please make sure Reid is still alive and kicking tomorrow morning or I'm certain someone will blame whatever ailes him on Dennis…
Nothing is more damaging than the truth, eh? :-)

You undoubtedly have a point, but I cannot help but to think the Illegal Alien Amnesty Debacle has played a large part in the democrats recent loss of positive polling numbers. Americans don't like the idea of being sold out by their representatives, and this affects all Americans.
Damn it……..Dennis you are da man now dog……
doriangrey on June 11, 2007 at 12:13 AM
that was a verbose intelligent whipping of Reid like he either stole something at wal-mart or was a dog that stole a turkey leg
Defector01 on June 11, 2007 at 12:16 AM
Problem is, it doesn't fit with the show since it's a serious commentary with some humor instead of humorous commentary.
Miller's radio show is great. A few oddball callers every now and then, but otherwise, Miller is fair to his guests. The show is funny and informative and Mark Steyn is on like once a week!
robblefarian on June 11, 2007 at 12:20 AM
Reid cut his political teeth as a member of the Nevada Gaming Commission. He is a political w***e, for sale to the highest bidder. Always has been, always will be.
Labamigo on June 11, 2007 at 12:27 AM
Mr. Miller, that was FLIPPIN' SWEET!!
My wife and I were slack-jawed stunned at the glorious and well deserved rant!
Slightly OT: I am loving the ACLU "ads" they play on HHNH. They cleverly highlight the societal damage that that communist front group has wreaked over the years.
common sensineer on June 11, 2007 at 12:27 AM
Dennis Miller rocks and he hit this one right out of the park. I think it's strange that Reid's sudden drop in the polls would be considered the anti war folks when dislike for the shamnesty bill is so bipartisan. The Democrats I know were calling their Senators and complaining about the bill too.
Buzzy on June 11, 2007 at 12:27 AM
I used to dislike Dennis Miller, but then he switched sides. That was an erudite masterpiece!
Tennman on June 11, 2007 at 12:31 AM
Miller: vox clamantis in deserto…
He's not the first, of course, but if he does this right, he could be the most effective.
Awesome. You know this is going to be covered as a personal attack against Harry Reid, which I suppose it is, but you're absolutely correct in asserting that it may resonate broadly. At least the frustration part. Well done, sir. I hope this is what we can expect of future DM segments.
Does the senate have a big screen this could be played on the next the senate is in session?
Sad but true, Harry "caulking gun voice" Reid is all those things or lack thereof.
If Miller can attack liberals, Republicans can, oh wait most of the Republicans are just liberals with a higher grade of panty waist certification.
They're the ones didn't stand up to liberals even when they had the majority and now most have 'America the sellout opportunity' on their business cards or maybe 'will of dee peeples? we don need no stingging peeples'!
Got news, if you don't need or care about us, we don't need or care about you.
Oh my…

Oh. My. God. Double Ouch. Ah, that hurts… so good. I'm can't believe I 'm even thinking it, but I'm embarrassed for poor Mr. Reid. The truth stings.
How does Dennis feel about Paris?
Scotsman on June 11, 2007 at 12:55 AM
We need more Dennis Miller clips rather than anything that has to do with the View. Unless, of course, it is Dennis Miller on the View.
Ferris on June 11, 2007 at 12:56 AM
"…said horse's derriere" and the last few secs, where Dennis has to laugh at what he'd just produced made me smile the most.
Still, he didn't call him the "reaper", like AP, which describes the 'leader' the best.
If times weren't so sobering he (Reid) would put the whole country to sleep.
Entelechy on June 11, 2007 at 1:05 AM
Well, maybe next week DM won't be quite so reserved and tell us what he really thinks.

Yo, Dennis, where's the bug?
Reid: the grey stuff that collects in scummy fishtanks, shaped into something humanoid, fitted with a broken kazoo for a windpipe, and send forth to pullulate and whine.

Black Adam on June 11, 2007 at 2:29 AM
I would like to see Dennis Miller as the next White House press secretary.
I love Miller but he really is sucking at the tit of Fox news.
Would Miller rip on Wolfowitz, Libby, Gonzalez…Bush? No, at least not on Fox noise channel.
The 1/2 Hour News Hour on Fox is insipid. The one show I tried to watch really stunk, really was horrible. Miller is getting paid to save it. Conservatives want something to counter The Daily Show, Colbert Report and Bill Maher.
Unlike 99.9% of all conservatives, who haven't a sense of humor or talent, Miller has some, but he was just being a jerk now.
Miller is no longer an entertainer, he's a far right partisan political pundit. He got fired from Monday night sports after two sessions. In a poll Sept, 2006 ESPN's SportsCenter, Miller ranked the worst Monday Night Football commentator of all time. He learned his lesson, give the boss (Bill-Oh, Rupert Murdoch) what he wants and pander to the audience. He clearly panders to what he thinks is the 30% lock steppers that watch that garbage.
Miller is usually fair, conservative but fair, but now its just bash Dems and only Dems. Clearly there's more buffoonery and clowning in the republican White House for comedy material. Gonzalez: "I don't remember not remembering" (71 times) Gee that's funny when you spit in the American peoples face and on the judicial system. Gonzalez is an incompetent amateurish maladroit. Gonzo, the marionette for Rove/Cheney/Bush, uninhabited with intellect. No wounder Bush likes him, He's FROM Texas! Hows that for a Miller-ism.
Miller Lugubrious diatribe, rant and rave, ad-hominem attack is ridiculous, rude and not funny. You could say what he said about half of the politicians in DC, including conservatives and republicans. What does his ashen skin color have to do with anything. Bush looks like a monkey, ha ha ha. Is that funny.
I have lost respect for Miller. It was not funny and was mean spirited and hostile BS. He says the terrorist are embolden by Reid? Please, get a freaking grip Miller. Yea thank God for the republicans and George W, my hero. I think our president does more damage than any Senator.
Miller did not address any current event or facts, and just was not funny. It was a disgusting personal attack. Few if any "liberal main stream media" comics are that vicious or personal, except for may be HBO's Bill Maher. Bill Maher does go too far in his ad-hominem attacks on Bush.
Comedy is suppose to be funny, with some truth, right.
Don't get me wrong, Reid is not an attractive person, nor do I like it when he said "we lost". We have. That is true, but you don't couch it like that when you are Senate majority leader.
Miller quotes:
chalk outline (What?)
dim bulb (really and Bush is…)
Mr. Limpid (Slam on actor Don Knots?)
ashen pie hole (pale white people suck?)
Dorian Gray (That's obtuse, book, movie, band?)
non-entity (no-body..Millers inner self loathing?)
mediocre man (Projection? no Millers ego too huge?)
vague & translucent (Britney Spears would say, Huh?)
whiny hack (Ironic, washed-up comic hack, whining)
trifling person (Get it, you comic, him US Senator)
derrière of horse (nice, french, we-we)
never should be allowed to speak in public
Never should be allowed to speak? Millers conversion to far right wing wacko conservatism is near. All politicians, especially conservatives, secretly hate free-speech and want to control the media, which is why Fox news exist. Conservatives bash the MSM, to marginalize and intimidate them. Well, I dream of the day Bush stops opening his trap, embarrassing America. 589 days left! Any one would be better.
I expected Miller to be fair and this was total BS. Would miller Riff on Wolfowitz, Libby, Gonzalez? No
BTW People who use "Big Words" are insecure and try to make people think they are smarter than they are. Dennis Miller, The Thesaurus Comic, it's getting old. It's an old shtik, so 80's.
Miller you officially SUCK you little twit. On the Bill "sexual harassment" O'Reily's show, you compromise your intellect. I see Miller squirm when O'Reily, "loofah boy", tries to pin him down on some conservative demagoguery. Bill-Oh says something totally inane and ignorant, and Miller let's it slide or tepidly comments. I can see he want to rip Bill-Oh but does not. SUCK UP. I can see his soul dying as he sells out for a buck.
You really need to figure out what your soul is worth. Be conservative, bash the Dems, but don't be intellectually dishonest and partisan. It sucks the fun out of the comedy and credibility out of the commentary.
gmcjetpilot on June 11, 2007 at 3:05 AM
Dennis handed weasel-boy Reid his ass!
Can't wait to hear the reaction Reid gives to this in that natural Sandleresque whisper/whine of his!
Teddy on June 11, 2007 at 3:11 AM
That was great. He needs to do one on all the top democrats and RINOs and make an album. I'd buy it.
CountryDoc on June 11, 2007 at 3:24 AM
gmcjetpilot on June 11, 2007 at 3:05 AM
Methinks someone's hero was just insulted. Sorry, GMC, but Miller's dead on with this one.
Also, the reason he's against all Democrats (or seems to be) these days is because Dems are the ones publicly crapping all over the system at the moment. If and when Bush or one of his minions does something stupid, Miller holds that person to task – as many conservative pundits often do when conservative leaders mess up.
Woudln't it be refreshing if national liberal commentators could (and more importantly, would) do that to their leadership?
Mibrilane on June 11, 2007 at 3:51 AM
gmcjetpilot on June 11, 2007 at 3:05 AM
Miller was great, and you getting your panties in a wad was icing on the cake.
Would Miller rip on Wolfowitz, Libby, Gonzalez…Bush? No, at least not on Fox noise channel.
Would Olbermann rip on Reid or Pelosi or any other democrat? No, even if he wasn't on msnbc. But at least you're up to date and know that faux news has been replaced with fox noise in the liberal lexicon.
Conservatives want something to counter The Daily Show, Colbert Report and Bill Maher.
And your little temper tantrum shows that you don't want that to happen. Another great example of the liberal motto free speech for me, but not for thee.
Bush looks like a monkey, ha ha ha. Is that funny.
Apparently so since liberal editorial cartoonists have been drawing Bush like a monkey for the past seven years.
. Few if any "liberal main stream media" comics are that vicious or personal
Nice way to hide behind "main stream". Every liberal comic today has much worse things to say about Bush and Republicans, but of course you'll just say they are'nt main stream.
onservatives, secretly hate free-speech and want to control the media, which is why Fox news exist.
And cnn, msnbc, npr, new york times, etc… all exist to enlighten us with their objective reporting.
but don't be intellectually dishonest and partisan
You should take your own advice.
forged rite on June 11, 2007 at 4:16 AM
Ouch! It's not every day one sees a dressing-down this thorough.

Well that post should go down is some sort of hall of fame. I think Harry Reid posts at HotAir. That has to be you, doesn't it, senator? I really can't see any other explanation.
I just wish there was video of you while you were posting that. Is there? Please? I want to see what happens when a sissy liberal has a complete meltdown.

OFFICER SHOT: One Suspect In Custody, One Dead
HALIFAX COUNTY - A massive manhunt that spanned the night is finally over Thursday as officers have in custody one of the suspects they say was involved in the shooting of a police officer. The other is dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Meanwhile, Roanoke Rapids Police officer John Taylor is expected to make a full recovery.
|UPDATE: Officer John Taylor has made it through his second surgery, this one on his hand. Taylor earlier had surgery on his abdomen. Roanoke Rapids city manager Paul Sabiston said both surgeries went well, and that Taylor is progressing. He is currently in stable condition. His wife and son have joined him in the hospital.
The female suspect, identified as Renee Phillips, was arrested just before 11 a.m. Thursday. Shortly thereafter, the other suspect Michael Edgerton was found dead.
Police said that around 10 a.m., officers confronted two people in a wooded area near Halifax Academy. There was a short standoff before Phillips, 43, was arrested. Later, police found Edgerton, 38, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
It all went down in an area of the woods near Roanoke Rapids. Cops zoned in on an area near Emerald Lane. That road is just off of 3 Bridges Road, where the suspects' car was found late Wednesday.
Taylor was shot during a traffic stop Wednesday afternoon. According to police, Taylor pulled over a stolen vehicle for following too closely on Interstate 95. He did not, police clarified, know that the car was stolen when he made the stop.
After being shot -- in the neck, hand and torso -- a driver stopped by to help Taylor, but the officer made the call for help himself. Taylor is currently in the intensive-care unit at Pitt County Memorial Hospital, and is expected to make a full recovery, police said.

OluFamous.Com had asked what Senator Dino Melaye was really up to with those wild allegations, even as he singled out Governor Rauf Aregbesola for attack. Well, here's an update:
The federal government has dismissed reports that it secretly shared over $4billion, being refund of over-deduction from the federal and the 36 States as Paris and London Club debt repayments.
Dino Melaye on Monday accused the Federal Government of sharing the money in November 2016.
He made the claim on his Facebook page. He called on the EFCC to step in and ensure the funds paid to the state governments was not looted.
He shad said: "The 36 states of the Federation collectively received over $4 billion being the over-deduction on Paris and London Club Loans on the accounts of State and Local Governments from February 1990 to March 2002," Mr. Melaye said.
"The movement of the funds has been confirmed by the Central Bank of Nigeria. Nasarawa State received N68 billion, Kogi, N80 billion; Benue, N91 billion, while Plateau, received 75 billion.
"Osun received N84 billion and Edo State received N82 billion. The monies were credited into the respective accounts of all the 36 states of Federation on Monday, 21st November, 2016, while that of Plateau State was paid into a UBA account (1019894291). Nasarawa State confirmed to have been paid into Fidelity and Skye Banks for State Government (N46 billion) and Local Government (N22 billion) respectively," he said.
Dino also claimed that all governors did not want the public, especially civil society organisations, to know about these monies, hence the secrecy in the payment.
Reacting to the allegation, the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, said no such money was shared.
"It is absolutely not correct. No $4billion was shared. Where will the government get the $4billion from?" asked Mrs. Adeosun.

If you want a simple aftermarket do-it-yourself project to perform on your vehicle, then installing some HID headlights may be the perfect choice. Not only will this give your automobile a fresh, European look; it will also provide you with headlights that are more effective and efficient. HID headlights work with a small ballast that regulates the flow of electricity, allowing them to burn brighter longer. To perform this task you'll only need a couple of basic hand tools and about half an hour.
Things You'll Need
- Screwdriver set
- HID kit
Park your vehicle in an area that is well lit and level. Turn off the engine and let it cool for up to half an hour. Then pull the release latch to pop the hood. Go directly behind the headlight assembly to locate the access panel.
Remove the access panel or dust cover. This is usually held on by a couple of clips or small screws. Once off, you should see the wiring harness connected to the headlight assembly. Squeeze the base of the plug and pull it free from the headlight.
Reach into the headlight assembly and grasp the actual bulb. Give it a quarter turn to the left and remove it. Insert the 9006 HID replacement bulb and turn it to the right to lock it in place.
Attach the ballast to the back of the headlight assembly with the double sided tape that comes in the HID kit, then plug the wiring harness into the ballast. There will be a connecting wire in the kit that connects the ballast to the headlight. This way the ballast acts as a middle man between the auto's electrical system and the headlight.
Replace the access panel and close hood.

The recent changes to the Major League Soccer schedule and competition format are hardly the only ones impacting professional soccer teams in North America.
Coinciding with the MLS SuperDraft, U.S. Soccer and CONCACAF announced major changes to the CONCACAF Champions League and U.S. Open Cup going forward, changes that drastically alter the regional and domestic competitions. The biggest change to the CCL is that the preliminary round is no longer, and a straight group-to-knockout format featuring fewer overall games is the new arrangement. For the U.S. Open Cup, it is now a 64-team field with all U.S.-based MLS teams being entered into the bracket instead of having their own qualifying path.
The changes for both tournaments go into effect immediately, meaning that Real Salt Lake and the Houston Dynamo, which had qualified for the now-defunct preliminary round of the CCL, are entered directly into the group stage instead of having to go through preliminary games this summer.
Here is a closer look at the differences between past and present for the two tournaments:
PAST: Preliminary-round format with 16 teams vying for eight spots in the 16-team group stage. Eight preliminary-round winners advanced to the group stage, where they joined the eight automatic qualifiers and competed in four groups of four teams each.
Each team played six group games — all opponents home and away — and the top two teams in each group advanced to the knockout stage, where teams played a home-and-away series with the aggregate goal winners advancing in each round until a champion was crowned.
PRESENT: Instead of some having to go through a qualifying process, all 24 teams are entered directly into the group stage. There are eight groups of three teams each, and teams play against the other two teams in their group at home and away. Only group winners advance to the knockout stage, which remains unchanged.
Teams are placed in different pots for the group stage based on strength of country from which they are qualifying and the way in which they qualified. For example, the MLS Cup and Supporters' Shield winners get placed in the first of three pots, and the MLS Cup runner-up and U.S. Open Cup winner gets put in the second pot (barring duplicate qualifiers — since Los Angeles won both the MLS Cup and Supporters' Shield, Seattle earned a place in the first pot).
Of the eight teams in the seeded pot, two are the top qualifiers from Mexico, two from the United States and there is one apiece from Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and Panama. Canada's qualifier (One of MLS' Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal or NASL's FC Edmonton) is entered into the second pot.
Teams cannot play against others from the same country in the group stage, and each group will have at least one team from the United States or Mexico.
With only four group games being played instead of six, the CCL puts less stress on teams' schedules. The group stage begins on July 31.
"This new format will streamline the first phase of the competition," Ted Howard, CONCACAF's acting general secretary, said in a release. "It will alleviate schedule congestion on both domestic and international calendars."

PAST: Teams from the professional and amateur sects of U.S. Soccer qualify for the tournament proper field, which was at 40 teams in 2011. Six MLS teams made the final field based on previous season's record, while the remaining teams embarked on a qualifying tournament to determine the league's other two spots. Those eight MLS teams entered in the third round.
NASL teams were omitted from the tournament field last year after not receiving provisional sanctioning on time.
PRESENT: A 64-team format featuring 32 teams across all sanctioned levels of U.S. Soccer and 32 affiliated amateur teams of the U.S. Adult Soccer Association and U.S. Club Soccer that qualify are entered into a tournament bracket. All 16 U.S.-based MLS teams are entered into the tournament instead of going through an MLS qualifying bracket to reach the USOC proper field.
The 32 amateur teams are paired together geographically for the first round, though teams from the same qualifying bracket cannot go up against one another. Those winners go up against teams from NASL and USL Pro in the second round, with games being arranged by geographical preference. Winners from those matches go up against MLS competition in the third round, with matchups again being determined by region.
Another major change is how game hosts are determined. In the past it was a blind bidding process, where home games went to the highest bidder. From every round through the quarterfinals, the hosts are now determined randomly. There has yet to be an announcement about how the semifinal and final hosts will be determined.
What do you think of the drastic changes to the CCL and USOC? Think they are steps in the right direction?
Share your thoughts below.
Both semifinals and the final will be in Seattle, even if the Sounders are not in any of those games.
Tony Danza
With the changes to the CONCACAF Champions League format, there must be a discussion as to how slots are allocated. With the abolition of a first round head-to-head qualifying mechanism, the USOC champion is rewarded the same as the Supporters' Shield recipient. More troubling, the MLS Cup runner up receives the same fate as the MLS Cup winner.
The first one is not necessarily as problematic as the second (raising the status of cup competition should be on USSF's agenda…and towards the top, given the continued success Seattle has shown is possible when a club actually cares about winning it), but a discussion should nevertheless take place.
Ives, you got a take?
where are these 32 amateur teams coming from? would be cool to see an MLS team have to go to a shoddy amateur team's field to play a cup match.
My interpretation is that the Cup winners and Supporters' Shield winners are among 8 seeded teams, thereby avoiding the six best teams from the other nations in the first round. Thus, the MLS Cup winners are guaranteed not to face Mexico's champion in the first round, but the MLS Cup runners-up might face Mexico's (or Costa-Rica, etc.'s) Champion/best team. This would appear to be the reward for winning rather than coming in 2nd.
Ives, please correct me if I'm wrong.
"…and each group will have at least one team from the United States or Mexico."
Doesn't this ensure that a Mexican club and an MLS club cannot meet in the group stage? (There are four teams from each country, and eight groups total.) That's good for MLS clubs' chances of advancing to the quarterfinals, but it's going to make the group stage less interesting.
*Mexican club and an American club
They come from U.S. Adult Soccer Association
So if you play in a league that is under the USASA umbrella, you could have a chance to play in the Open Cup?
just looked it up. there are a lot of teams in that bottom rung of the US soccer pyramid. i wonder how those 32 will be picked.
some of my local teams in the USASA (nyc area) play on high school football fields. would be interesting to see NYRB playing a game at John Dewey high school.
No, because those are the top seeds and there are also some MLS/Mexican league teams that are seeded in the 2nd pot.
Reward for MLS Cup winner compared to runner-up? They get a shiny trophy and medals. Isn't that what counts???

Um, actually, since (A) each of the 8 groups must have a team from the U.S. or Mexico, and (B) there are 4 Mexican teams and 4 U.S. teams in the field, the math seems to suggest pretty clearly that U.S. clubs and Mexican clubs CANNOT meet in the group stage. Last time I checked, 4 + 4 = 8, and that necessarily works out to EXACTLY one U.S. team OR one Mexican team per group. If there's some bizarre wrinkle in this system that makes it otherwise, I'm certainly not seeing it!
I like them.

Doesn't the USOC winner get placed with the MLS Cup runner up in pot 2, while the Supperters' Shield and MLS Cup champ go into pot 1? Seems ok to me, but maybe I'm missing your point..
I like it the set ups. I really like how the chances of a USA team meeting Mexican team in the knock out stages of the CCL will increase with the new format, which I believe will only help to increase the rivalry.
canadian MLS teams could face a mexican team in the group.
Love it! Great changes! Should be a much better on both fronts
"…since Los Angeles won both the MLS Cup and Supporters' Shield, Seattle earned a place in the first pot."
That never gets old.
Hehe, poop joke. +1
I like it. TFC proved they can handle it. They finished only one point behind UNAM in group C.
I bet there are…I play in NJ and there are a ton of teams around. I wonder if it has anything to do with the State and National Cups?
Ha! I'd love to see that…up close and personal I mean.
my only question would be if mls adds 2 more US based teams and/or NASL/USL add a few US based clubs do they automatically get entrance to the Open Cup at the cost of one of the amateur spots?
whats the point of the seeding in CCL. If you have 2 American and Mexican teams seeded #1 and 2 teams seeded #2, but you can't have an american team and a mexican team in the same group…then what the hell is the point of seeding half the american/mexican teams #2…what a complete joke of a system and very typical of concacaf

Sidney Wasserman, who has died aged 83, was a man of international friendships. He was born in Elyria, Ohio but abandoned his native land to seek employment in the UK in 1967 after his liberal, anti-war stance led to enquiries by the CIA. That year, he was appointed lecturer in Applied Social Studies at Bradford University, where he became known as a fine teacher. I was among his first ever "English" friends and had joy in seeing him come to terms with being a British citizen. After 10 years at Bradford, Sidney became a social work teacher in universities and local authorities across Britain. He retired in 1987 and settled in Reading.
He had grown up in a Jewish family and loved Jewish culture. At college, Sidney majored in drama and retained a lifelong devotion to stage and film. Later he trained for social work and obtained a DSW degree at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. He practised and then turned to teaching, becoming an assistant professor at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts before leaving the US.
Despite his distinguished career, Sidney will be remembered more for his personal qualities. He was a man of great warmth, and had close and dear friends in Britain, the US, Israel, France and across the world. He remembered all his school and university friends, and never forgot their names, nor those of their children and grandchildren.
He had a long relationship with Corinne Bellow, who died in 1999.

This videos looks at two flow drills for Wanshu / Enpi kata. The sequences covered are the "shifting knife-hand sequence" and the "double-palm-heels, lower-block, jump sequence". We then put both flow drills end to end to create a longer flow drill.
This video gives a very brief overview of the history and bunkai of Gekisai Dai Ichi (also known as Fukyugata Ni) and Gekisai Dai Ni. As with all such clips, this is a very short summation and hence it is impossible to cover all details and the wider training methodology. I nevertheless hope what is shown is of interest and that it encourages you to seek out further instruction.
All the best,
This videos shows a pad drill that incudes Funakoshi's Ude-Wa (Morote Gari) Throw. It starts with a simple jab, cross before a lead hand hook is delivered as you simultaneously move to an angle. All three techniques should be delivered fluidly and without any gaps. For this drill, we want to "open up" for maximum power.
In this video we look at the basics of getting back up from the floor i.e. you've been knocked down and the enemy is still standing. The methods shown can be found within the Bubishi, Mabuni's writings, Funakoshi's writings, and even some kata i.e. Unsu / Unshu.
You are obviously working from a position of great disadvantage when applying such methods and hence their limitations should be recognised. However, they should be a part of karate practise (just as they were in the past) so they can be used should the karateka find themselves in such an unfortunate position.
In this video we explore some of the bunkai of the kata Chinte ("Unusual Hands"); specifically the end of the kata from the "scissor punch" to the front (hasami zuki) to the hops at the end.
In this video we explore some of the bunkai of the kata Chinte ("Unusual Hands"); specifically the dropping middle-knuckle strikes, the rising nihon nukite (two finger spear hands) and the dropping nihon nukite. The kata contains a number of hand positions not seen in the more widely practised kata; hence the name. Despite the unusual look for the sequence in the solo form, it is really just a collection of attacks to weak areas from within a clinch. Although presented in a set sequence, they can be applied in any order.
In this video we explore some of the bunkai of the kata Chinte ("Unusual Hands"); specifically the circular arm motions followed by the double uchi-uke and "crane stance". Throughout the kata we see a lot of attacking weak areas. This sequence sees a method of getting behind the enemy so a knee strike can be delivered to the tailbone (coccyx). As always, great care must be taken when practising such methods.

In this video we explore some of the bunkai of the kata Chinte ("Unusual Hands"); specifically, the opening sequence. The kata contains a number of hand positions not seen in more widely practised kata; hence the name. Punching into the hand is also not widely seen in other forms; however, the principle of using one hand to locate the target while the other strikes is a core old-school karate concept.
PS The YouTube link can be found HERE
This short video shows the joint-lock / takedown found toward the end of Kururunfa kata. The motions that follow in the kata can be used to augment or reverse the lock (into an alternate lock) should this particular motion fail. The bunkai of those motions were covered at the event, but are not included in this short clip. Thank you for your support of these videos!
This video shows a bunkai flow drill for Naihanchi / Tekki-Shodan from the seminar in Stuttgart, Germany in June 2016. This one of many two-person drills that should accompany the solo form of the kata. The methods covered also need to be drilled singularly, in alternate orders, and in both semi-live and live ways if the kata is to be fully realised.
Viewers of this clip also need to remember that they are watching a very short summary of what was taught; and therefore they need to guard against making incorrect assumptions based on their inevitably incomplete understanding.

In a letter of condolences to Zahoor Awan, General Secretary, Pakistan Workers' Federation (PWF), the TUC expresses shock and sorrow at the disaster and joins the international trade union movement in demanding an independent and impartial inquiry and justice for victims.
Mr Zahoor Awan
General Secretary
Pakistan Workers' Federation
Bakhtiar Labour Hall,
28 - Nisbet Road,
Dear Zahoor
On behalf of the TUC General Council, I write to express our shock and sorrow at the tragic deaths of some 300 workers in the two factory fires in Karachi and Lahore and condemn in the strongest terms those responsible for the unprecedented disaster through their crass disregard for health and safety at the workplace.
We understand that the workers trapped inside the buildings without fire exits had little time or opportunity to escape and that many jumped to their deaths or sustained serious injuries in their attempts to flee the inferno.
The TUC joins the international trade union movement in demanding an independent and impartial investigation into this tragedy which will enable the authorities to bring those responsible for it to justice without delay.
Our hearts go out to the families of the victims of this terrible tragedy and I should be grateful if you would kindly pass our deeply felt condolences on to them.
Yours sincerely
General Secretary
Issued: 13 September, 2012

Preview: Packers at Chiefs
When: 7 p.m. Thursday.
Where: Arrowhead Stadium.
Broadcasts: Radio — AM-620. Television — Channel 4, Telemundo.
Injury report: Packers — CB James Nixon (knee), CB Casey Hayward (hamstring), S Morgan Burnett (hamstring) and ILB Brad Jones (hamstring) are not expected to play; WR Randall Cobb (biceps), CB Tramon Williams (knee) and WR Jordy Nelson (knee) are questionable. Chiefs — TE Tony Moeaki (shoulder) is out; OG Jon Asamoah (calf), WR Dexter McCluster (illness), LB Nico Johnson (ankle sprain) and DB Sanders Commings (collarbone) are not expected to play.
YOUNG AT HEART: It's possible Vince Young will start at quarterback and get a series or two with the No. 1 offense. Aaron Rodgers is unlikely to play, so Young needs to seal his position as the backup. The Chiefs run a confusing defense that makes it hard to know who's rushing, but whether they're willing to show much of their scheme is a big question mark. Young has to be turnover-free.
NEW LIFE: A week ago, it looked unlikely that the Packers would keep both James Starks and Alex Green at running back, but after DuJuan Harris was lost for the season with a knee injury, both may not only make the roster but be counted on to produce. Rookie Eddie Lacy has already established himself as productive runner, so expect Starks and Green to play a lot, along with rookie Johnathan Franklin.
CHOICES, CHOICES: Among the toughest decisions GM Ted Thompson will have to make on the cutdown to 53 is whether to keep five or six receivers. The top four are set: James Jones, Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and Jarrett Boykin. Jeremy Ross, Tyrone Walker and Myles White have all made cases to be kept. Ross might have to be kept for return and special teams reasons, but Walker and White have been better receivers and could nudge him out.
MORE CHOICES: How the linebacker position shakes out will be interesting. This is a huge game for players like Terrell Manning, Sam Barrington, Andy Mulumba, Dezman Moses, Nate Palmer and Donte Savage. Last year, the Packers kept nine linebackers — three outside, four inside and two swing players. The battle this year probably comes down to Barrington vs. Manning for one spot inside and the others for two spots outside. If Mike Neal were kept as an outside linebacker, then those last four would be competing for one spot.
YET MORE CHOICES: Last year, the Packers kept six defensive linemen. This year, they have three locks — B.J. Raji, Ryan Pickett and Datone Jones. It's hard to imagine Mike Daniels not being part of the group, and C.J. Wilson has had a good camp. If those five are in, Johnny Jolly, Josh Boyd, Jordan Miller and possibly Neal are competing for one spot. If Neal can double as an outside linebacker, it's possible seven total could be kept.

Women You Should Know®
An Editorial Site For & About Dynamic Women
We don't need a special holiday to call attention to our stress levels or how much damage they can wreak on body, mind and soul, but apparently there is one. Every April since 1992, the Health Resource Network, a non-profit health education organization, has sponsored Stress Awareness Month to increase public awareness of both the causes and cures for the modern stress epidemic. Now we're stressed that we didn't tell you about this sooner, since almost half the month is gone!
In the 18 days we have left in April, how do you plan to decompress, de-stress or just chill out?
My favorite stress reliever is the "primal scream". Sure, your neighbors or office mates might think you are a little nuts, but it feels oh so good to just let it all out. 🙂
You go girl!

Taking the Bus to Super Bowl XLVIII
In a recent interview in Complex, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning admitted to carpooling:
"Me and [Eric] Decker and [Jacob] Tamme carpool together—drive from the hotel to the stadium," the article quotes Manning as saying. "We've done that for the past two years."
On Sunday, Feb. 2, the Denver Broncos will face the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 48, held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Super Bowl is one of the most watched television events of the year. And this year, fans are encouraged to take a page from Manning's book and carpool—or even take mass transit. According to New Jersey Transit's website, Super Bowl 48 is being billed as the "First Mass Transit Super Bowl."
It's a year for firsts. This is also the first time that a Super Bowl is being held in the New York City metropolitan area, and the first time it is being held in an outdoor stadium in a cold-weather climate.
MetLife Stadium is 15 miles from Manhattan and seats 82,500 people. But Super Bowl attendees are being discouraged from driving to the game. Parking at MetLife Stadium will be limited to less than 13,000 parking spaces, with permits beginning at $150. Tailgating activities will also be curtailed, requiring guests to keep their cars parked in their permitted parking spaces if they plan on eating or drinking in or near them.
To compensate for the parking predicament, New Jersey Transit will be offering a variety of train and bus services to transport fans to the game. These include the "Fan Express", a network of coach buses organized by the Super Bowl Host Committee. Tickets cost $51, and will pick up fans at six Manhattan and three New Jersey locations.
New Jersey Transit will also operate Meadowland Rail Service from MetLife Stadium to Secaucus Junction in New Jersey, with connections to New York Penn Station, Newark Penn Station, and Newark Liberty International Airport. They will be selling a $50 "Super Pass" for unlimited train rides from Monday, Jan. 27, through Monday, Feb. 3.
In Manhattan, Super Bowl Boulevard will be set up on Broadway between 34th and 47th Streets, and New Jersey Transit also offers service to Penn Station or the Port Authority Bus Terminal for attendees, as well as New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Information about fares and service are available at New Jersey Transit's website.
All of these measures mean plenty of fans will be carpooling or taking mass transit to the biggest football event of the year. And how about Manning, Decker and Tamme? Will they keep up their routine for Super Bowl XLVIII?

Yams, pumpkins, and maize flowers are traditionally associated with the chill of autumn. At Luscious Skin Spa, however, they are ingredients in warm, relaxing skin treatments all year round. The yam and pumpkin-enzyme peel exfoliates complexions as it evens out skin tone, whereas a calming facial addresses rosacea and sensitive skin with extracts of rosehip and maize flowers.
Owner Mari Mamikunian tries to use organic components such as these—along with products from Jan Marini and Éminence—in many of her services. As a licensed aesthetician and certified yoga instructor, she aims to nourish the skin and calm the mind simultaneously. Her specialties are nutrient-rich facials and fast-yet-gentle waxing procedures, but she also offers body treatments. Her pear and green-apple sugar scrub, for example, can boost the body's circulation while smoothing the skin.

super helpful and supportive
David's process for getting to know you, whats important to you for your wedding and what kind of music you want is impeccable. So after a great experience leading up to the wedding, our expectations were very high! And DRM exceeded them tenfold. The best part was that our dance floor was packed the entire night – young and old! A lot of people's favorite moment was when the trumpet section came on to the dance floor with everyone! Everyone had a blast and a million people told me that they've never had so much fun at a wedding or that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. And I know these people and they were not just being nice. I attribute 95% of this to David and his band. If I had to do it again all over on a budget, I would hire David, and skimp on everything else. Nothing else is as important as the atmosphere, energy and the fun at your wedding. Thanks David!!!!

She emerged midway through the Kienan Hebert abduction drama cast in the role no one wants in a story like this: mother of the villain.
And yet only the heartless among us couldn't feel sorry for 70-year-old Margaret Fink, as she peered into the television cameras, respiratory tubes running from her nose, trying to assure the world that her son, Randall Hopley, 46, would do no harm to little Kienan Hebert.
And, as far as we know, she was right.
In part because of that, the feelings many of us hold toward Mr. Hopley today are more complicated than they might have been had this story had the gruesome ending many anticipated. And when Kienan's father, Paul, refused to join the chorus of those demanding that Mr. Hopley immediately be strapped to an electric chair, it made many of us pause to reflect on the extraordinary perspective he was offering us.
Mr. Hopley was a sick and troubled man who needed help, said Mr. Hebert. He required therapy, not threats.
That is not a view shared by all, of course. For many, the earth should be spared of the Randall Hopleys of the world, and the sooner the better. To these folks, he is a sexual deviant beyond rehabilitation. Maybe he is. But we really don't know.
What we do now understand is that Mr. Hopley had problems from a young age. As Mrs. Fink told me in an interview this week, her boy was never quite the same after his father, Hugh, who Randall apparently adored and followed everywhere, died in a mine explosion. Her son was 2 at the time. After that he became more difficult to handle. Once he got to school, he became a problem for teachers.
For Mrs. Fink, dates and timelines from 40 years ago are now foggy. She believes Randall was 6 or 7 when child welfare authorities came and took him away. "I had my hands full at the time and three other kids to worry about," she said. "I didn't mind because I thought that was best for him."
Randall was taken to Vancouver for evaluation and would end up in foster homes in the Cranbrook area. She said he seemed fine any time she visited him back then. Eventually, however, she lost track of his whereabouts and would mostly get second-hand accounts of his problems with the law.
But she never stopped loving him.
"I want to see him so badly," said Mrs. Fink, sobbing, her voice frail and thin-sounding. "They said I would be able to but now they've moved him to Kamloops. I love Randall and I know that he would love to see me. He needs me.
"The whole thing has been pretty hard. My boy needs help right now. He's not a bad person. I think he showed people that."
Sitting at his home, nearly a week after the safe return of his son, Paul Hebert is no less sympathetic to Randall Hopley than he was the day he proclaimed his forgiveness for what he did. "Forgiveness is a condition of the heart," he said on the phone. "There's two paths you can choose when you come into a situation like ours: anger or compassion. Anger is for people who only want to see themselves as the victim. Compassion allows you to get beyond that and move on."
That does not mean, Mr. Hebert was quick to point out, that Mr. Hopley shouldn't be held accountable for what he did. Or that he shouldn't be forced to get the help he needs.
"But how can you be angry with someone who needs help as much as he does?" said Mr. Hebert. "He still had the compassion to bring Kienan back and I can't forget that. I believe there isn't a human on earth who isn't salvageable."
Mr. Hebert is a devout Christian and his faith certainly informs his attitude. However, he likes to think he'd feel this way regardless of his religious views. Some people have interpreted Mr. Hebert's empathetic outlook as a sign he isn't angry about what happened.
Of course he's been angry, Mr. Hebert said. But he realized that until he put those feelings behind him, he would never put what happened behind him. Besides, he said, he can't escape the feeling that over the years Mr. Hopley never received the psychiatric help he needed because people simply didn't care enough about him.
"I think his mother needs to know that everything is okay," said Mr. Hebert. "Hopefully, her son is going to get the help he needs now."Report Typo/Error
