Happy weekend! I am in an especially good mood because I am on my way to Disney World this morning! It is just a quick trip, girls only, with my mom and two aunts. We are driving part of the way today and part tomorrow so we will have more time tomorrow in the parks. Can't wait to be back in my happy place! It has been a kind of stressful week for me so I need this trip!
Oh, here are a couple pictures I got from the Gulf Coast half I ran. Maybe you can see how sweaty I am and how MISERABLE I was in that heat! The first one was about mile 6 maybe?
mile 9…
mile 12…trying to give a thumbs up. not too convincing eh?
This morning I want you to meet Charlotte from Wild Things Run Free. She is super sassy and fun and has a very cute blog. She lives in Maryland, and likes to travel like me!
1.) Why did you start blogging?
I have blogged on & off all of my life. In high school I had a
live journal account — only at the time I didn't realize what I was
doing. I just used it as a place to vent/talk about my day to day life
& talk with people all over the world. I had no idea there was an
official name to what I was doing…. I was just having fun &
releasing stress that was built up from my anxiety of talking to
people in my day to day life… After livejournal I had stopped
'blogging' all together for some time… Until I was diagnosed with
ovarian cancer in 2010. I needed a place to go & just discuss the
things that I love & things that scare me, without the judgment of my
friends/family (most of whom were clueless to my medical condition!)
It's been a non-stop thing ever since!
2.) Sum up your blog for me:
Wild Things RUN Free is designed to show the world that no matter
what obstacles lay before you, if you have a dream you can achieve
ANYTHING. Say it — Do it — DESTROY IT!
3.) What do you wish to accomplish with your blog?
My wish is to motivate people who are afraid to tackle their
dreams that we, as humans, are capable of anything we set our minds
4.)What is your greatest healthy living accomplishment?
I've done a lot of things. I'm now a runner, I now eat healthy, I
am now in a healthy relationship, I've quit smoking.. But I think the
biggest accomplishment of all is that through all of my healthy
activity, I have learned to believe in myself.
Thanks Charlotte! Very inspiring! You can also find her on Twitter, be sure to give her a follow and go say hi on her blog!

Lexus RX 330 Maintenance and Repair
cecarter Posts: 7Hi,
I just bought a 2006 RX330 with 67k mi.. After the deal and before paying, I had asked about an extended warranty. The closer offered 3 options. 4 yr 48000 mi for $6200. the least was $2400 for 24 mo/24000 miles.
I passed on all extended warranties. I'm gambling that I can get more from my money w/o the warranty.
Hope this info helps. There are better prices out there, but this was a lexus dealers best. It was not a CPO warranty either. Good, but not worth $6 large.
mmm1 Posts: 54You did the smart thing by passing up the extended warranty. In my opinion they are a rip off and this is particularly true of a Lexus warranty. I have a '03 Lexus LS and an '05 Lexus RX. They are both out of warranty and I wouldn't even consider paying for the extended warranty. The Lexus build quality is such that they are not too likely to need much work after they are out of warranty if you perform the necessary routine maintenance i.e., change oil, filter, rotate tires, and a few other items on the maintenance schedule. I have now had six Lexus' and owned all of them for over 75K miles and one of them for 128K before selling it. None of them have ever needed any significant maintenance work after the manufactures warranty expired. I'm sure that there are people out there who have not had such great experiences with their Lexus but I would bet that the great majority have had experience similar to mine. Good luck and enjoy a great car.
My 2005, Rx 330, with 68K needs the strut mounts replaced. The local Lexus dealership already replaced the struts, which was covered by warranty, as the vehicle had below 50K at the time. I'm thinking the dealership should cover the strut mounts? Does anyone have any information for me to use as ammo?
tidester Posts: 10,059Does anyone have any information for me to use as ammo?
You might be able to make a case that the struts wore prematurely due to defective mounts but I'm not sure how you do that.
tidester, host
SUVs and Smart Shopper
I would get a second opinion on the struts. It might pay you to spend a few $ to get an indepenednt look at the struts since replacements can be up to $900.00. I was told mine were bad but found that to be otherwise when I took it to an independent repair facility and I don't mean a tire place. Go to an independent garage.
My personal experience with Lexus is that once its out of warranty they don't much care.
Just to clarify rvm1...the struts were already replaced and was covered by warranty. Now it is the strut mounts that Lexus stated needed to be replaced (the noise is horrible when turning following driving on a bumpy road). The last time I complained about the popping noise from the front when I made a turn......Lexus found a bad strut and replaced both. Now I have a rubbing noise which Lexus stated was the strut mounts....thought I would try to fight the warranty thing? Lexus quoted $560.00 for the job.
Historically Lexus dealers are an expensive way to go for repairs. Consequently I have always done my own maintenance. With that as a prelude, what Lexus will do when you contact them to get them to pay for this is to ask for the name of your dealer and check with him to see if you have been a "loyal" dealer customer. If not they will give you some excuse for not covering the cost of replacing the mounts. If you have been, they may make an offer to share the cost ie they provide the mounts and you pay the labor, which may well be most of the cost quoted to you.
I would first get an independent quote covering the cost of materials and labor separately so you can compare their response with an outside quote.
Good luck !
>>Sorry about late reply, but complain to Lexus corporate if you already paid this... I >>spoke to a guy this happened to and he said dealer is replacing trim only, not >>window. Hope this helps.
Did you have to pay? or Dealer cover the charge?
As a prior owner of an RX330, I still get these alerts. I purchased a 400h and did have the problem with the window moulding coming off - flapping furiously in the wind at 70 mph! My dealership replaced the moulding and the window at no cost. I would contact the service department manager, and if that fails, the regional service manager. They should cover the expense for you.
My warranty has expired. Do you think they will still cover that?
My bought 4 michelin tires from Costco and put it on my
2004 RX330. They totally worn out just after 1 year.
I can't believe it. What should I do?
What does this loose molding look like?
with our 2004 RX330 with 41K miles, I hear some thing flapping while driving even at 40-50mph. I sounds like one of the luggage carrier racks is loose, but all luggage rack parts are tight in place.
This flapping noise from outside is annoying in otherwise very quiet ride. When I look at the rear ( left and right) quarter panel window moldings, they appear tight in place. Could it be that they are loosely in place and when wind goes around it then it starts flapping?
I have never had this type of noise from any other vehicle we have owned.
Yes, my warranty had expired. Also, for the individual who asked what the loose moulding looked like, it is the rubber around the rear passenger window area. In my case, it was on the passenger side of the car, and I could see it flapping when I looked in my right side mirror. Typically, you have to be going 50 mph or so to have the problem occur. Hope this helps!
I thought of this after my prior reply . . . on my RX400h, I've had the moulding at the top of the roof come loose after going through drive through car washes with brushes or fabric scrubbers. You might look at those strips (there are two, running the length of the roof) to see if they are in securely. You can push them back in by hand, and that should solve your problem. Avoid car washes that aren't touchless!
silverghost1 Posts: 2My 2004 RX330 has 110,000 miles and still going strong! The visors on both sides have worked loose. As I am many miles past having warranty coverage, I'd like to tighten them up myself, if possible. Anyone know how to do this? :shades:
850cooker1 Posts: 1I have a 2005 RX330 with 35K miles, bought new. Replacing front discs at 35,160 miles. Rears still in good shape. Lexus says brake warranty stops at 1 yr/12,500 miles. Surprised and disappointed.
stever Posts: 52,683That's pretty typical since brakes are a wear item and not everyone treats them gently. Front brakes do most of the work so it's normal for them to wear out faster than the rears too.
No OEM brake pads should wear out at 12K miles unless you are driving a taxi or a delivery vehicle. or you have frozen caliper and/or hanging sliding pins. I would write to Lexus and ask them for help. While they want to stick to their official stand, they also realize that this is a premature wear.
I bought cermic pads for front and organic pads for the rear and put them on. It cost me $70 ( after $30 rebate) for front and rear pads. The pads on our 2004 RX with 41K were worn out in the rear with some left in the front. I could not tell whether the front pads were replaced once before we bought the car.
Replacing the RX pads has to be one of the easiest one I have done.
It is fairly common practice for customers to be told that brake rotors need to be replaced when in fact that is not true. 35K on front pads is on the low side but not really unusual.
I replace my front pads at least twice before I even consider turning the rotors and I have NEVER has to repalce rotors.
It is possible, remotely possible, that the front pads were so worn that the rotors were damaged.
la4mead Posts: 347Since they are a wear item, I wouldn't expect brake pads to be warranteed past 12,000. It is possible to wear the brake pads out by 30,000 miles, depending on how you drive, how much weight you haul with you, and the type of use.
My experience ('99 RX300 2WD): I replaced my original pads (all 4 at the same time) because of the annoyingly premature wear sensors which made the car squeak like an old jalopy. The wear sensors are small tabs of soft metal that rub cause a metal-to-metal scraping-squeaky sound. I think they were noisy by 30,000, but each inspection showed there was plenty of brake left so being the cheapskate I am, I did not replace them, nor did the Toyota dealer recommend it. I finally replaced all four at the same time to quiet all the squall by about 75,000, but the Toyota dealer said there was still plenty of wear left. The factory pads were fine, but the built-in wear sensors are set to cause lots of noise prematurely to annoy you into replacing them early. I didn't have to replace the discs. I did have them flush the brake fluid, purging all old fluid and bleeding the brake system out at the time they did the brakes.
If your discs were warped from excessive heat or the pads were worn so that contact was made to the disc, it is possible to ruin your disc(s). Ask them to show you on your car what specifically is worn, and look at the parts yourself. Look for any unusual wear. Any good shop will be willing to do this.
Front rotors warped enough to be a problem would indicate so via throbbing of the brake pedal, or in severe cases stearing wheel "shake", when brakes are lightly applied while moving.
Replaced the front rotors and pads at 67000 miles on my 04. Unless you drive with the brake pedal down I'd say that replacing them at 12k is premature wear. Perhaps you might have your repair folks check out the rotors to make sure that there isn't a problem there. If none then get back to Lexus and go up the chain of command.
wyckoff Posts: 2Hi. I have a 2004 Lexus RX330 with the rare air suspension system. The car literally does a constant bounce while driving. I've taken it to Lexus twice, they've replaced the front two sensors and fixed the wiring to one of the rear sensors. The bouncing is now much worse than when I originally took it to them. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks!
Since we bought our 2004 RX330 used last Nov with 37K miles, we have been noticing this annoying noise that sounds like a rubber seal is hitting against the roof. Several times, I could swear the sound was coming from under the dash.
While changing the oil/filter last week for the first time, I removed two underbody plastic shields to got to oil filter and to degrease underside of the engine. I noticed the larged undebody shield had broken in the front in its thinnest part. The broken section was separated in the front.
After changing the oil, I did not put it back on, thinking I will buy a new one. When the car drives up, you can tell the piece is missing. At $210 wholesale, I may not ever replace it.
While driving on the highway without the undebody piece, I noticed the annoying rattle is gone. I just find it amazing how rattle and noise could transfer in a car and be heard in a different part of the car.
yosh13 Posts: 1what is fair price for dealer installed remote engine starter on new RX350?
Did anyone ever figure out why the check engine and VSC lights came on and how to fix the issue? I'm dealing with the same issue. Thanks
I had seen this topic before on this site, but nobody seems to have answered why these lights came on. I would certainly appreciate any info. Thanks!
football247 Posts: 2This has happened to me and since I have noticed about 4 other RX330"s missing the moulding on the rear quarter panel window. I was wondering if anybody know how wide spread this problem is and if Lexus is doing anything about it.
When I went to my dealer they said they never heard of this problem and wanted over $300 because they said the entire window had to be replaced. I said no way for a $20 peice of moulding.
Our 2004 RX 330 had this problem (Check Engine and VSC) twice since the end of June 2009. Dealer traced the problem to a faulty fuel filler cap. They cleaned it, cleared the code and I was on my way. They did say there was a chance it could happen again. If it do they would replace the fuel cap. It happened again and they replaced the fuel cap this past Tuesday.
This is a common problem and Lexus dealers know it very well. Our right rear moulding blew off 2 years ago. To fix, they would need to replace the entire window. I spoke with the glass replacement service that my Florida Lexus dealer uses. He said he sees the problem often, gluing it on does not work long-term and that I should contact lexus customer service. I contacted them by email and got a favorable reply. While they did not offer to replace the window and did not acknowledge a probelm, they did send me a credit that is good for anything (service or parts) at a Lexus dealer with no expiration. Meanwhile, I've kept the moulding and keep an eye out for an adhesive product that would work long-term.

Things You Didn't Know Your Sunglasses Could Do For You
- by Admin - 15-Sep-15
You're leaving your house in the afternoon: You lock the door, turn around, flip your hair and don your classy wooden sunglasses. Out of habit, a quick vanity check in the reflection of your car window confirms what you've always suspected. These sunglasses instantly make you look like a movie star!
However, a good pair of sunglasses can help you with a lot more than just looking good. Take a look at the five things your sunglasses has been doing for you all along.
Conversation Starter
On the bus or at the beach your sunglasses tell a story about you. Sometimes your shades intrigue people so much that they can't help but saying something. A simple statement like, "Oh, I love your glasses" is enough to get the conversation flowing.
Stare Skillfully
It has been said, "Sunglasses are like Facebook. You can stare at anyone without getting caught."Ever come across someone you think you recognize from somewhere, but can't quite place them? And in your attempts to try and figure out who it is, you start looking - also known as staring or gawking/creeping someone out. In times like these, you know what might help? Not getting caught staring. With a pair of sunglasses you can take all the time you need to place that face.
Health is Wealth
So if the above reasons were not enough to convince you, here is the one that will seal the deal - the health of your eyes. Sunglasses will save your eyes and your money. And this is not just one reason.
Protection from UV Radiation:
Sunglasses are undeniably the best and easiest protection for the eyes, against UV rays of the sun.
Lowered Risk of Skin Cancer:
Did you know that around 10% of all skin cancers are known to be present on the eyelid. And since sunglasses can protect the eyelids from such exposure, they are a real help in reducing the risk of this disease.
Reduced Probability of Cataracts:
UV exposure can trigger cataracts in people. This disease can lead to cloudy vision and even blindness in some cases. According to WHO, cataract is the leading cause of blindness in middle and low income countries (2014).
Decreased Risk of Macular Degeneration:
Prolonged exposure to UV rays can also result in damage to the macula lutea of the eye. This disease could cause blurred vision and loss of eyesight.
Reduced Risk of Pterygium:
Pterygium is an abnormal growth of tissue which may result in inflammation and disturbance in vision. Suitable protection of the eyes could reduce the risk of developing this condition.
Protection from Photokeratitis:
In simple terms, this is when your eyes get a sunburn. It is a very painful condition and results in sensitivity to light and blurred vision. Even though it does not last for more than 48 hours, it can be very frustrating. Sunglasses, again, serve as a protection against this condition.
So, not only can sunglasses help you make a fashion statement, come in handy and save you from potentially embarrassing situations, they can also be your solution to a variety of eye problems.
Ditch the Dust
Whether riding a bike or going places in a convertible, you need something on your eyes, especially when the sun is shining. Sunglasses will not only serve as protection against dust, but will also protect your eyes from the harsh UV rays. So while you are out for a drive with friends, do your eyes a favor by putting on some sunglasses.
The Next Day
After a long night, everything is a bit of a blur. The next thing you know you have a severe hangover when you wake up. Headache is one thing, but the bright lights feel like knives slicing through your brain.Don't worry, we've all been there. What do we do about it? Damage Control! Put those shades on, and no one will see your bloodshot eyes. And it'll also protect you from the merciless sun.
With reasons like these in mind, it's about time you started looking for a pair of stylish sunglasses.

Natural News
February 12, 2012
(NaturalNews) In a recent town hall meeting in New Hampshire, Presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul spoke on Health Freedom and the Constitutional rights of Americans to buy and sell natural food, like raw milk, which hasn't been tainted with chemicals, hormones, or cooked until completely void of nutrients.
Ron Paul represents the polar opposite of nearly every politician in control of legislation today. Most politicians accept legal bribes (called lobbying) from the big pharmaceutical companies that lead the proliferation of prescription drugs in America, the third leading cause of death. Not only has Ron Paul introduced legislation to repeal the FDA's prohibition of interstate sales of raw milk, he consistently reminds everyone that Government should not have control over our food choices.
The loudest applause came when Ron Paul spoke about the regulations on raw milk sales. He explained how the FDA does not "take care of us" but rather interferes with our choices by collaborating with special interests. It's the drug and insurance companies that keep a stranglehold on the American chronic care management system, which doesn't cure anything, but rather treats symptoms with dangerous pharmaceuticals.
The real reason the FDA bans raw milk sales and shipping is because pasteurized, homogenized and rBGH (hormone-laden) milk poses horrible dangers to the public, and when diseases and outbreaks rise up, like with chicken and beef, the FDA will use raw milk as their scapegoat, saying they tried "to contain and limit its distribution." It's also all about competition, and raw food enthusiasts and nutrition experts all know that live food keeps you healthy, and dead food makes you sick.
Romney doesn't care about the poor. Gingrich insidiously fueled the foreclosure crisis. Rick Perry would restart the war in Iraq. Santorum wants to bomb Iran and start a new 4 trillion dollar war. Obama appointed the Vice President of Monsanto to run the FDA. Only Ron Paul speaks about personal freedoms, health freedom, natural food, the right to supplements, and the right to know if your food has been genetically modified with pesticides, antibiotics, growth hormones, and other cancer causing chemicals.
The U.S. Government induces a false fear of pathogens and Salmonella
Healthy, nutrient rich milk comes from cows and goats that are allowed to graze in toxin free pastures, and not be juiced up with hormones that make them overproduce milk, creating infections and puss that is then passed on to humans.
Whether or not raw milk carries pathogens totally depends on how the animals are fed, the way the milk is produced, and the care that's taken to keep the milk clean during production. The U.S. Government's subsidized corporate farms are unkempt quarters, where animals are sick and dying, living in their own feces, barely able to stand because they're too heavy from steroids, and that is exactly why they have to be juiced up with antibiotics!
Pasteurization destroys nearly all of the nutritive value and beneficial bacteria by killing the natural enzymes. Pasteurization has been implicated in everything from allergies and heart disease to cancer.
Most people have no idea that raw, organic milk from grass-fed animals was used in the 1920's as medicine for heart failure, diabetes, kidney disease, chronic fatigue and obesity. From the time of Hippocrates until WWII, this miracle food healed millions. Germany still uses raw milk therapy today in many hospitals. Remember, the best perpetuated lies are the ones that accuse the innocent of exactly what the accuser is guilty of themselves.

text: I woke up this morning, as I do on any other day of the week. I kicked the dog off the bed, leaned over kissed Jane and rubbed my eyes. Showered, fed the cat and dog, headed out for the train. Could have been a Tuesday. Could have been a Friday. I walked to the train station and took the 8:05 multi stop train to Geneva. A bit longer than the nonstop, but one can always get a seat. Sure, Id walk into work a few minutes later than normal. But hey, its the Friday before Christmas and its pretty quiet at work. As I sat on the train, I looked around at all the blank expressionless faces of other commuters. I had survived the end of the world. I smiled at the thought, and slowly came to the realization that no horrific comet smash had destroyed our lovely Switzerland. We remained intact. But if there was some great interplanetary event, surely I would know of it. There would at least be smoke, a ground tremble, air raid sirens. Surely, something would have tipped it off. There was nothing on the news on my iPad. The internet was working. But something wasnt right. There was a creepy air to this morning train ride. I looked around me and looked closer at everyone and realized that the long rumored zombie apocalypse had occurred. I was surrounded by lifeless, emotionless zombies. Gaunt drawn faces with baggy deep circles under their eyes. Empty expressions. It happened. I had read about in countless forum threads. But this is what the Mayans were on about. I get it. And its happened. It wasnt the splitting of the globe or a huge tidal wave of biblical proportion. It was much more stealth. It happened quietly. Overnight. This planet is now inhabited by zombies and I dont like it. One daughter and my wife were home. They were fine. I havent talked to our other daughter, or my sister, brother, mother, nephews, cousins, friends, neighbors, coworkers. How will I know if they survived the zombie apocalypse? What if theyve become zombies too? How do you relate to them? How do you feed them? What do they eat? Will they come for my precious wine? Can you all please let me know if youre ok? Just to be safe, Im wearing my protective underwear today. Season's greetings everyone Brian

Bionavitas Pursues Algae Dream in Food Additives, Toxic Cleanup—Then Maybe Biofuel
(Page 2 of 2)
to people from one of his portfolio companies, Bellevue, WA-based Light Sciences Oncology. They are the experts in making light waves do all sorts of nifty things—in their case, activating drugs to fight cancer.
Even with its light immersion technology, there are many other enabling technologies that need to be made in parallel to bring about commercially feasible algae, Weaver says. One technology might be genetically modified strains of algae that are more efficient, he says. But the multiple layers of technology needed means that algae-produced biofuel on a commercial scale is at least five to six years away from reality, Weaver says.
For the business, that means Weaver would need to raise a lot of venture capital to keep the doors open during that product development cycle, which certainly wouldn't be easy. Enter dietary supplements thought to have health benefits (nutraceuticals), and toxic cleanup (or bioremediation).
What makes nutraceuticals attractive is their high price, and low production volumes, Weaver says. Axtaxanthin sells for about $15,000 per kilogram, Weaver says. It is in strong demand as an antioxidant dietary supplement, and for giving farmed salmon its pink color. Because of the high price, it can justify the more expensive controlled growing conditions of an indoor bioreactor. That means Bionavitas doesn't have to worry about competing algae species elbowing aside its preferred strain to make axtaxanthin, and there's also no bird poop to worry about, like in an open pond.
The bioreactor can be housed in Redmond, with artificial light running 24 hours a day, because electricity is cheap here. His company ought to have an edge with its light immersion technology, because competitors currently use large fluorescent lamps that light up entire rooms and lose a lot of energy to heat, making them less efficient, Weaver says.
Weaver showed me how this works. Bionavitas has figured out a way to get the most out of the electricity. It uses only red and blue light—the parts of the visible light spectrum that algae can best respond to—and its bioreactor is set up to flash light every 1/24th of a second, instead of continuously, because algae only need the flickering light for photosynthesis. That greatly reduces the electric bill.
Bionavitas is currently trying to raise money—Weaver wouldn't disclose how much—to build up a pilot-scale manufacturing facility to put this process to the test in larger quantities.
The second potential application, bioremediation, is a market Bionavitas sees potentially opening up if legislation passes to establish a carbon cap-and-trade market, giving big polluters more incentive to seek ways to reduce their emissions, Weaver says. That's because algae facilities can be set up near toxic runoffs from mining companies, chemical companies, and major agribusinesses. These operations throw off toxic concentrations of selenium, nitrogen, and phosphorus, which algae can mitigate, Weaver says. An algae production site would have to be set up on-site next to one of these plants through a partnership, Weaver says.
The bioremediation market will be much bigger than the nutraceutical applications, but exactly how big will depend on how the market for carbon offsets materializes, Weaver says. Politics at the state and federal level are key to launching the business—the day after our interview, Weaver traveled to Olympia to brief a House committee on the opportunities with algae.
Also in the weeks since I did the original interview, one of the leaders in the algae biofuel industry, Cambridge, MA-based GreenFuel, closed down. Weaver didn't predict his competitor's demise during our interview, but he clearly must have seen some writing on the wall for algae biofuels. He pushed hard on the theme of his company's diversification.
"If biofuels never comes to fruition using light technology, it will not destroy our company. It would not have an effect, other than we'd be losing one potential marketplace," Weaver says. "If it does come to pass, we'll just have a much larger marketplace to license our technology to."

A Nigerian Senator, Buruji Kashamu, who is representing Ogun East Senatorial District at the National Assembly in Abuja, has been suspended by the Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over alleged financial impropriety and anti-party activity.
In an official statement signed by Olawale Ogundele, state party chairman, the influential politician was suspended alongside seven other persons – Bayo Dayo, Pegba Otemolu, Semiu Shodipo, Fatai Adeyanju, Segun Seriki, Daisi Akitan and Bowale Solaja.
"The Ogun state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the suspension of the above named with immediate effect.
"This is sequel to the report of a panel which was constituted in June, 2016 to investigate allegations of financial improprieties, anti-party activities and sundry reckless acts that are capable of bringing our great party to disrepute."
According to TheCable News, the PDP alleged that a disciplinary panel had on several occasions invited some of the suspended members to defend themselves over allegations of diversion of party funds, but that they refused to honour the invitation.
"Based on the preliminary report of the panel however, submitted to the executive committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ogun state chapter, we found merit in the allegations and hereby adopt the report and findings of the panel which include recommendation to suspend the above mentioned.
"In the exercise of the powers vested on the state executive committee in accordance with the constitution of the Peoples Democratic Party the above name are hereby suspended from the Ogun state chapter of the PDP with immediate effect; their names have also been forwarded to the national secretariat of the party for necessary further appropriate disciplinary actions," the statement read.
Recall that Buruji Kashamu is reportedly wanted in the United States of America (USA) for drug related offences, but he has delayed his extradition through a lawsuit.

The "Complexonaut" - Prof. Scott Aaronson discusses his adventures in quantum computing
Mon, 04/07/2014
Press Contact
When he was in elementary school, Scott Aaronson, like many mathematically precocious kids of his generation, dreamed of making his own video games. He had only the foggiest notion of what that entailed, however.
"I could try to imagine making my own game — I could draw a picture of what it should look like — but how does it come to life?" Aaronson recalls. "Maybe there's some factory where they do all kinds of complicated machining to make Mario move around in the right way. Then a friend showed me this spaceship game that he had on his computer, and he said, 'Here's the code.' Well, what is this? Some kind of summary of the game? 'No, no, this is the game. If you change the code, the spaceship will do something different.'"
"I like to say that for me, this was like learning where babies came from," Aaronson adds. "It was a revelation. And I was incredibly upset at my parents that they hadn't told me earlier that this exists. Because I was already 11, and other kids had known programming since they were 8, and how would I ever catch up to them?"

Australia-based ELLERY is the cutting-edge brand that EVERYONE wants a piece of right now…
Ellery's exploration of French couture continued to play out this season, infusing the collection with subtle references to Avenue Montaigne - the "grande dame" of the most fashionable streets in Paris. The elegant and feminine flair found so consistently in Ellery's shows wasn't absent, though. The saturated, tie-dyed dresses with modern silhouettes were there, alongside balloon-sleeved jacquard tops and the charming surprise of glossy purple ankle boots. Our favourite among the numerous sleeve-shapes is the white V-neck blouse with trailing sleeve ruffles paired with the designer's firework-inspired earrings. It'll be the perfect alternative to LBDs.

CFL.ca Staff #CFLTC14
REGINA, SK — If there's one storyline that has highlighted Saskatchewan Roughriders training camp so far, it's replacing the veterans and key players that left in the off-season.
One of those players was Kory Sheets, who played a major role in helping the Roughriders win the 101st Grey Cup on home soil last November.
But with Sheets now out of the picture, the Riders are still searching for his replacement. At the moment, the three candidates for the vacant spot appear to be Keith Toston, Jermaine Thomas and Anthony Allan.
After one pre-season game, head coach Corey Chamblin has been pleased with what he has seen from all three options.
» Pederson: Magic continues at Mosaic» CFL teams make first cuts» Video: Recap Saskatchewan 21, Ottawa 17» REDBLACKS debut, Riders prevail at Mosaic» Nye: Rookies gettting a chance in » Video: Riders Focused on Task Ahead» Brackenridge calls out Chad Johnson» Pedersen: Riders cautiously optimistic» Video: Riders Getting in Game Shape» Nye: Plenty of Intrigue at Riders Camp» New year, new role for Taj Smith» Durant looks to lead young team » Who takes over for Sheets?» Photos: 2014 CFL Training Camps
"Those guys did some good things. Allen had the fumble but he ran pretty hard, and also Toston did some good things when he ran the ball," said Chamblin.
The game saw all three backs make enough of an impression to avoid first cuts, but there is still a lot of work to do.
"At this point, it's really just about who's getting better every day. Coaches and our offence are watching to see who is getting better every day and the guy that is will have the starting spot on day one," Toston told Riderville.com.
Toston, Allan, and Thomas will face their second and final test on Friday when they welcome the Edmonton Eskimos to Mosaic Stadium for Saskatchewan's last pre-season game.
Chamblin outlined the importance of the game.
"It's fair to say after this game we'll have a better sense of who is going to at least start the season."
After one game ,Chamblin is happy but recognizes that there is still plenty of work to be done, especially if they intend on filling the big shoes left void by Sheets.
While he isn't necessarily looking for a carbon copy of Sheets, he is looking for someone who can make a difference.
"I'm looking for one of those guys to step up and take that spot. I told the guys don't be average, I want somebody special in that spot," said the head coach.
Toston, for one, realizes it's virtually impossible to replicate what Sheets accomplished. As a result, he'll be looking to establish his own style into Saskatchewan's run game.
"No pressure, every running back is different, every running back wants to do different things with their career. It's a new season, a new team and we're just going to treat it as that," he said.
"We're all like brothers and we're just focusing on getting better each day and we're going to treat it as that and let the best man win."

Here's the background: If you're new to the blog the deal is that we are about to embark on a partial renovation of our house. We'll (and I don't literally mean "we" because all "we" will be doing is standing there with our jaws on the ground as we rack up a big loan) be removing the roof over the half of the house with two levels, raising it, adding a shed dormer to create more useable space upstairs, adding a bathroom, adding a deck with a pergola and putting in a sliding door to access the deck.
Our contractor is working on acquiring the permits and last week he had to mark off the area where the deck will be so that the county could come out and sign off on the plan. Since I'm such a visual person it was so helpful to see where the deck would be.
The plans for the east side of the house show the deck (the stairs coming off it will be widened to be closer to the width of the doors) and pergola.
We were afraid the deck may be too big and take up too much of the back yard, so we had our designer draw up a smaller version of the deck as well. The contractor laid out the larger version for the county's approval and I think it will be just fine. Any smaller could feel a bit cramped once we get a table and chairs up there.
The window you see, which is located in our den-type room (when we moved in it was the master bedroom but we preferred the bedroom upstairs), will be removed and sliding glass doors will be put in. The deck will start about 18 inches under the bottom of that window, so it will be quite high as the back yard slopes down. Good landscaping is going to be key.
Aren't you glad that I pulled a bunch of weeds and left them there for the photo? I guess we're all about real life here at The Impatient Gardener.

Datalex has reported a 14% rise in revenue in the first half of the year as it gained new customers and expanded its presence in Asia.
The Irish firm, which develops ecommerce software for the airline industry, said it made $20.2m during the first six months of the year.
However costs rose by 13% during the same period, which held profit after tax to €600,000. This is still a significant improvement on the first six months of last year, however, when it earned €200,000.
In the past few months Datalex said it had signed a number of new customers including JetBlue Airways, Brussels Airlines and Air Transat.
The firm also opened a permanent office in Beijing, which it said would help it to grow its customer base in China.

text: My friend and I will be spending the summer in Nashville this year. As college students with unpaid internships our dining budgets will be pretty limited but we'd still like to go out every once in a while. Does anyone know of any weekly dining specials or reasonably priced neat restaurants? (we're not too picky and open to any ideas). Also, are there any good places with outdoor seating or outdoor bar areas popular with younger crowds? Thank you- we're fist timers in the city so any help is appreciated!

Polk Audio RT25i loudspeaker Page 2
Listening: The Upside
Here, in a nutshell, is what the Polk RT25i did well: linear and organic low-level dynamic resolution, as in live music; superlative resolution of inner detail; on good recordings, a highly accurate depiction of room ambience; extremely flat but natural reproduction of transient articulation; and extraordinarily uncolored tonal balance from the midbass to infinity and beyond.
The RT25i's reproduction of vocals was to die for, due to the speaker's superlative timbral and dynamic performance and its resolution of detail in the all-critical midrange. I'd never heard Janis Ian (Breaking Silence, Analogue Productions CAPP 027) or Mighty Sam McClain sound more natural, and the angelic integration of Crosby, Stills & Nash's voices on "Guinnevere" (Crosby, Stills & Nash, Atlantic/Classic SD 8229) floated in three-dimensional space, each vocal line easy to follow individually. The dynamic and delicate articulation of well-recorded percussion instruments, from mallets to snares on both classical and jazz recordings (Miles Davis, Kind of Blue, Columbia/Classic CS 8163, 45rpm, and the Kohjiba and Crumb recordings), made the Polks seem to disappear entirely. Kind of Blue and Ian's "Some People's Lives" showcased the warm, rich, articulate reproduction of piano timbres as convincingly as I've heard from any speaker under $2000.
Soundstaging reproduction was beyond reproach, with the three-dimensional image of each instrument in Stravinsky's The Firebird (Mercury Living Presence/Classic SR 90226) reproduced on a wide, deep, ambient stage. In fact, the Polks' imaging specificity was so precise that, even with the speakers spread fairly far apart in my home theater, the central dialogue image was tightly focused on the screen. It made me wonder if, when these speakers are properly positioned, a center-channel speaker is even necessary.
Despite my Hole comments above, most rock'n'roll recordings boogied tunefully and dynamically through the Polks. The hard-driving "Rock and Roll," from Led Zeppelin's fourth album (Atlantic/Classic SD 7208), dug up my toe-tapping memories of the first time I saw this band perform the tune in concert, back in the Mesozoic era.
For me, the acid test of a speaker's realism is to play a minimally orchestrated piece of music, listen from the next room, and see if I can fool myself into thinking that there are actual musicians performing live in the first room. While working on my computer in the den, two rooms away from the listening room, I spun Joni Mitchell's "Urge for Going" (Hits, Reprise 46326-2). The Polk passed the test with flying colors; I found the realism of Joni's voice and guitar accompaniment so distracting that it was difficult to concentrate at the computer keyboard.
Wipe that spittle off that lab coat and talk about the competition
I skipped the budget speakers and first compared the Polk RT25i to my $1000/pair reference, the Aln Petite. The Aln's high-frequency reproduction was more refined, detailed, and articulate than the Polk's, but the Polk's midrange reproduction, in terms of timbral accuracy and detail resolution, was damn close. The mid- and upper bass also bloomed more naturally in the Aln, and the more expensive speaker was superior in its subtle reproduction of low-level dynamic gradations.
The direct price comparison, the now-discontinued $300/pair Mission 731i—my entry-level reference—was darker and more opaque than the Polk, its bass reproduction a little warmer and looser but with more natural dynamic bloom. Although the Mission was balanced tonally, it shared the Polk's high-level dynamic constrictions and large-room/lower-bass definition limitations.
The Paradigm Reference/20 ($600/pair) was the only speaker in the group able to re-create realistic high-level dynamics and bass extension below 50Hz in my large room. Its high frequencies were a bit less natural than the Polk's and its midrange a little more laid-back. The Polk, however, seemed superior in the resolution of inner detail in the midrange. Finally, the Reference/20's lower-midrange/upper-bass region was the warmest of the group, and was most noticeable on piano recordings.
And my new entry-level reference speaker is...
The Polk RT25i has set a new benchmark for what an entry-level speaker can accomplish in many areas. Given its price and diminutive size, its few weaknesses are forgivable. It is far superior to any speaker I've heard for less than $500/pair, and has become my favorite speaker for under $1000/pair. I plan to purchase this pair for use as monitors in my home computer recording studio.
I recommend the Polk RT25i to anyone considering buying a speaker of moderate price and size. I recommend it even to audiophiles used to more expensive wares, just so they can see how much speaker 320 of today's bucks can buy. I've never been more impressed by an inexpensive loudspeaker.

OverviewMount Elliott is the high point of the southeastern section of the Book Cliffs region in Utah. Have you ever driven from Price, Utah to I-70 on US highway 6? If you have, then you've probably noticed Mount Elliott. As you drive by, your eyes are drawn to this peak and you'll wonder if there is a way to the top. This mountain receives a lot of attention from the road, but getting to the summit requires some serious effort.
I'm not a big fan of mountains that can be easily seen from major highways, but Mount Elliott is an exception. From US highway 6, Mount Elliott is guarded on its western side by an impassible wall of cliffs that stretches for miles. It appears the only way to the top is a technical one, but this isn't the case. There is actually a canyon which the Price River flows into that allows access to this mountain (see route page).
So if it sounds like your wilderness experience will be ruined because of the major highway, you're definitely mistaken. The highway won't be visible or heard until you are on the summit of the peak and the route (even though it's a road) will be a wilderness experience in itself, trust me. The chance of running into people on this route is slim to nil.
The hike to the summit of this mountain is nothing short of spectacular. From where you start off in the green (season permitting) canyon which the Price River flows to the final short scramble to the summit, this is an all around excellent hike. Shortly after the start of the hike you will pass, several petroglyphs, wade through the Price River, and soon hike high above the surrounding cliffs for an awesome view of the area. This large area above the cliffs is known as the Beckwith Plateau.
Mount Elliott also happens to be one of Utah's prominence peaks that has over 2000 feet of prominence. See here.
Getting ThereAnother good reason to visit this mountain is the ease of access. The start of the hike is only a 5 mile drive on a well graded dirt road off of US highway 6. This road should be suitable for just about any passenger vehicle. The road could take you closer but it was blocked in May 2007 and still in Mar 2009, by several enormous boulders blocking the road. And it looked like it had been like that for a while. Meaning the only way back there would be to hike, bike, horse ride or an ATV. The last couple hundred yards of the road is rough, if you have a low clearance vehicle you'll probably want to park at this point.
From Salt Lake City (160 miles) :
Starting in Salt Lake City, head south on I-15 to the Spanish Fork exit for US highway 6 to Price. Follow this road to Price and continue following US highway 6 past Price for another 38 miles to the town/landmark of Woodside. At the old Woodside gas/service station, just to the north is an unsigned dirt road which heads to the east and follows the Price River. Take this road, following it for 5 miles to where you are stopped at the aforementioned boulders blocking further access. This is the start of the hike.
GPS Coordinates for US 6 turnoff : 39.2686 N -110.3447 W (WGS 84)
Route Description
Round Trip Distance : Approx. 21 mi
Elevation Gain : 2600 ft
From the point the road is blocked; continue hiking along the road for about 2 and ¼ miles until you reach the Price River crossing. Wade through the river, in May 2007 it was about 2 feet deep and the rocks were large and slippery. Here is a picture of the Price river crossing. Once across the river continue hiking the road as it switchbacks along the cliffs and eventually above.
Following the same road (it's obvious) continue for about 8 miles, gaining a little more than 2000 feet until you are close to the summit. At this point, leave the road and continue straight towards the notch in the previous picture. Its 500 feet up from the road; scramble up the notch and after a move or two in the notch you'll be at the summit.
Topo map of the hike.
When To Climb
The best time to visit the peak would be in the fall, winter and spring. I would recommend spring because when I visited in May 2007, there was an abundance of cactus in bloom and many wild flowers. Summers are usually too warm in this area to recommend hiking over 20 miles. In winter time this area can receive a lot of snow, but the climate is relatively dry.
I would recommend camping right by the starting point for the hike, there are several nice camping spots with Cottonwoods for shade, and there shouldn't be many/any people there, I didn't see one person the weekend I visited in May 2007.
If camping isn't what you want, the towns of Price and Green River have a variety of hotels/motels available. And if you're planning on making it more than a day hike, there is great camping throughout the entire hike.

How water turned from enemy to friend
The Netherlands has always had a special relationship with water. Water has determined the landscape architecture and inspired artists. This remarkable relationship is at the heart of the book Zoet&Zout that Maartje van den Heuvel, curator of photography at the Leiden University Library, wrote together with journalist Tracy Metz. This book won them the Golden Tulip award for best non-fiction book of 2012.
Public recognition
Maartje van den Heuvel is very happy with the prize. 'It came as a complete surprise, we had no idea!' She sees the prize, which is awarded yearly by a jury of booksellers, as a sign of public recognition. 'The jury doesn't just look at the quality of the book, but also at the readers' reactions. These reactions were very positive.'
Landscape architecture
The book is divided into two parts. Tracy Metz describes how the Netherlands is dealing with climate change and the threat of a rising sea level, and how this has influenced our landscape architecture in the past and continues to do so in the present day. Van den Heuvel uses numerous examples to show how artists have for centuries been inspired by water in the Dutch landscape, and the way in which the inhabitants deal with water.
From enemy to friend
Van den Heuvel distinguishes five categories which she classifies from negative to positive: conflict, pact, gain, pleasure and myth. At first the water was wild, it devoured the land and claimed lives. But then slowly the Dutch learned to benefit from the water, and finally even to use it for recreation. Van den Heuvel illustrates this development with a painting by Willem Schellinks, which shows how the Amsterdam Diemer sea dyke was destroyed in 1651, but also with a by now classic photograph by Emmy Andriesse, taken around the mid-twentieth century, which shows a naked woman on the beach, symbolising the freedom that many people experience in the vicinity of the sea.
Zoet&Zout originally appeared as a catalogue for the exhibition of the same name showing from 14 February to 10 June in the Kunsthal in Rotterdam, but the book quickly outgrew this context. The jury, who presented the prize to the authors on 16 February, praised the ideal combination of text and image, and noted that the important role of imagination, the photographs and the art raise Zoet&Zout above all other books on the same topic.
PhD defence
Van den Heuvel is currently working on an exhibition for the Zuiderzeemuseum in 2014, showing how the Dutch use of water for leisure is depicted in Dutch art. 'It will mostly be about the way in which the Dutch make contact with nature.' The idea is that she will also be writing a PhD dissertation on the subject. 'Knowing myself I expect that there will in the end be yet another exhibition, as a final note.'

Well, it's real simple folks. Tech absolutely HAS to win this series if it wants to keep its NCAA tournament hopes alive, and really, in all reality, needs a sweep.
But that starts with winning Game 1, which will prove challenging for both teams as today's winds have created a brown haze around Dan Law Field and any ball lifted in the air to left is likely going out. So pitchers -- and this means Tech pitchers especially -- have to keep the ball down where it gets pounded on the ground, not in the air.
Tech will again go with freshman David Paiz, who has pitched well the last month since being inserted into the Friday role prior to the Oklahoma series. He is 3-3 with a 5.12 ERA. Paiz will be opposed by senior right-hander T.J. Walz, a top10-round pick a year ago who is 5-4 with a 3.76 ERA.
Here are today's starting lineups.
KANSAS (20-21, 9-9 in Big 12)
1. Brandon Macias, ss
2. Jason Brunansky, cf
3. Jimmy Waters, lf
4. Zac Elgie, 1b
5. Jake Marasco, 3b
6. Casey Lytle, rf
7. James Stanfield, c
8. Alex DeLeon, dh
9. Kaiana Eldredge, 2b
P -- RH T.J. Walz (5-4, 3.76 ERA)
TEXAS TECH (25-19, 6-12 in Big 12)
1. Jamodrick McGruder, 2b
2. Bo Altobelli, c
3. Barrett Barnes, cf
4. Stephen Hagen, 1b
5. Nick Popescu, lf
6. David Paiz, dh
7. Kelby Tomlinson, ss
8. Andre Wheeler, rf
9. Reid Redman, 3b
Be sure to check back here throughout the day for live updates during the game.
See ya at the yard, meat.
And, again, Tech is down before it can even settle into the game.
Macias yaks on Paiz's first offering of the game and shoots it out to left for a first-pitch leadoff home run. Paiz comes back, however, with a fly to center and a pair of strikeouts to end the inning.
But the damage is already done. 1-0 Jayhawks, bottom first.
Tech can do nothing with a one-out walk as it stays 1-0 Jayhawks.
Barnes was down 1-2 before getting the walk, but Hagen comes up and pounds an 0-1 fastball into the ground for the third out at short.
1-0 KU, top second.
The Jayhawks get another run, but an outstanding defensive play prevents another.
A single by Lytle and a hit batter with two outs puts runners at first and second. Nine-hole hitter Eldredge doubles to the gap to score Lytle, but a solid throw from Barnes in left-center and a dead-on relay from Tomlinson guns DeLeon down at the plate to end the inning. Also a good block by Altobelliw with his left foot in front of the plate.
2-0 Jayhawks, bottom second.
Tech gets a run back and does so, shockingly, with an RBI base hit.
Popescu leads off the frame with a triple to the wall in right field. After a Paiz groundout back to the mound, Tomlinson laces an opposite-field single through the right side to score Pops to cut the lead to 2-1.
That's as far as Tech would get, though, as a strikeout-throw out double play with Wheeler at the plate ends the inning.
2-1 KU, top third.
Tech finally gets a scoreless inning out of the Jayhawks despite KU getting two runners on.
A hit batter to lead off the inning and a two-out single by Elgie puts runners at first and second, but Paiz comes back to get Marasco on a weak grounder to short to end the threat.
Now, let's see if Tech can do something with it offensively down 2-1.
And the answer is, nope.
Walz needs just eight pitches to get through the inning and Tech can't even get a ball out of the infield. Redman strikes out to start the inning, followed by a weak grounder right to the bat at first by McGruder and a popup on the infield by Altobelli that Walz catches on the heel of his glove.
2-1 KU to the fourth.
Paiz works into -- and out of -- another jam in the fourth to keep it at a 1-run game.
Lytle and Stanfield lead off with singles. Paiz then bounces one in the dirt to DeLeon and both runners break. But Altobelli guns down Stanfield at second, then strikes out DeLeon for the second out of the inning.
Eldredge draws a walk to put runners at the corners, and Macias laces a 3-2 pitch into the gap in right-center that Wheeler makes a running belt-high catch on going toward the scoreboard for the third out.
2-1 KU, bottom fourth.
A one-out single by Hagen goes for naught as Popescu bounces into a 6-3 double play, Pops hitting it right to where the shortstop had him shaded. Macias steps on second and throws to first for the easy turn.
2-1 KU, top fifth
Brunansky reaches on an error by Paiz when he fields a high chopper but throws high to Hagen, the ball popping out of his glove as he collides with Brunansky.
That's it for Paiz after 81 pitches. Brennan Stewart now on the mound for the Red Raiders.
UPDATE: Stewart quickly neutralizes the threat by getting Waters to bounce into a 6-4-3 double play, then gettig Elgie on a first-pitch liner to left.
2-1 KU, bottom fifth
The bit hit continues to elude the Red Raiders, and this time it cost them a shot at the lead.
A one out walk by Tomlinson, a two-out single by Redman and a walk to McGruder loads the bases, and Walz appears to be having trouble with his command. But not enough that he can't get Altobelli to ground into a fielder's choice to short to end the inning, stranding three on base, two in scoring position.
2-1 KU to the sixth.
Stewart gets the job done with three groundouts on 12 pitches.
2-1 KU, bottom sixth.
And now the Red Raiders are starting to get impatient.
Walz, who walked two in the last inning and had the base loaded, gets out of the sixth on just six pitches, including the fourth inning-ending grounder to shortstop of the game.
2-1 KU to the seventh.
Stewart continues to get the job done as he has now retired all eight batters he's faced since coming on with one on in the fifth.
In the seventh he strikes out the eight and nine-hole hitters and gets Macias on a grounder to short.
Tech desperately needs the offense to find a way to at least get this game tied.
2-1 KU, bottom seventh.
Instead, the Red Raiders continue to find gloves.
Tomlinson flies high to left-center for the first out. Wheeler laces a pitch down the left-field line, but Waters had him played perfectly and caught it on the run above his head right inside the line, then Redman lined out to third. Again, Walz needs just eight pitches and is only at 86 for the game.
2-1 KU, top eighth.
The score remains the same despite a threat by the Jayhawks.
Brunansky breaks Stewart's streak of eight straight retired with a leadoff single. Stewart then issues a two-out walk, but comes back to get Lytle on a comebacker to end the inning.
Top of the order due up for the Red Raiders, but since when has that mattered.
2-1 Tech, bottom eighth.
Stop me if you've heard this before.
3-up, 3-down for the Red Raiders. McGruder watches strike three on the outside corner, Altobeli tries to reach on a bunt but is tagged out by Elgie, and Barnes goes down on three pitches, including two very ugly swings.
It is now Walz' longest outing of the season. He's not had a nine-inning CG since April 4, 2009 vs. Baylor in Lawrence.
2-1 KU to the ninth.
Well, it's now or never for the Red Raiders, and it won't be against Walz.
KU gets a pair of hits in the ninth, but a fielder's choice and double play ends the threat.
Kansas brings in closer Colton Murray (2-1, 1.65 ERA, 7 saves) to lock it down.
2-1 Jayhawks, bottom ninth.
Well, Tech got done what it absolutely had to, and we got to extra innings.
Hagen ripped his sixth home run of the year and second in a week with a solo shot to lead off the ninth and tie the game at 2. But Murray came back to retire the side and keep it tied. It's just Murray's second blown save of the year.
2-2 to the 10th, and Tech turns to John Neely on the mound.
Wow, that was close.
Elgie barely misses a two-out solo home run down the left field line, and Neely comes back to get him to pop up on the infield to end the inning, keeping the game tied at 2.
Murray is out and Frank Duncan is in, facing the 8-9-1 in Tech's order.
2-2, bottom 10th.

Military "Ontario" Pilot Fixed Blade Survival Knife. The Pommel is dated 1-86. The knife and sheath are in excellent condition. It appears that the knife has never been sharpened. The blade has almost all of the mat black left on it. The sharpening stone is not original to the knife. The rear of the sheath still has the original military paper ID sticker, but the printing is gone. The Bottom few leather handle spacers were inadvertently darkened a little by me cleaning the knife in hand soap and hot water! We've supersized this knife for a complete description.

Next time you're in Chinatown, the storied Central Plaza area, and you're throwing pennies into the lucky fountain (we always go for "Vacation"; how 'bout you?) and you're eating and you're shopping and you're gallerying, take a look around. Is someone holding a camera, snapping pictures?
Yes. We have rather uncontroversial theory at the beautiful historic core of our city's storied Chinatown is one of the most-photographed spots in all of SoCal (a quick spin through Instagram will support this observation). And it makes a perfectly evocative setting for Chinatown Summer Nights, the annual, thrice-a-summer, DJs-and-dance-and-martial-arts-and-eats extravaganza.
Chinatown Summer Nights opens on Saturday, June 15, which just happens to also be the 75th anniversary of Chinatown. So, for sure, that is part of the celebration, too.
We mention the setting, because we think that lends much of the mood, but so does KCRW, the outfit behind the music and dance floor. (And, yep, people really get out and groove at this thing; no lingering at edges here, being shy.)
Other offerings include live bands, cooking competitions, a craft beer competition, and the LA Craft Experience Market (where you'll be browsing all sorts of funky, hip-happy goods).
Admission is free, but, yep, cash for some delicious dim sum and that fancy IPA will come in handy.
And the two other nights this summer? July 20 and Aug. 17, both Saturdays. The party rolls from 5 p.m. to midnight, but be sure to stay for dark, when the historic plaza lights up. The red lanterns and neon form a quintessential Los Angeles sight, and the poetic tags photos of it merit on various social media sites are beyond warranted.
Oh, and a very happy 75th, Chinatown!

Does anyone know of some serious quilt sewers that meet regularly in western MA or at least within driving range?
Most of what I see are beginner-type classes. Or groups who meet mainly to chat, less about sewing
There is a guild in Great Barrington, MA, but I'm not sure how active or vibrant it is?
Thanks for any input.

Ciao Costantino
vacanze....avanti tutta.....
La sensazione che provano queste persone è fantastica, sono nel momento migliore, quando tutto sta per iniziare e sei già fisicamente sul luogo, esattamente pochi attimi prima.
Hai perfettamente colpito il punto cruciale della vacanza, quando un luogo è lontano solo prima di arrivare.

You have chosen the perfect viewpoint to include the boat, the passengers and the wake, showing where they have been, in an excellent composition! The curve of the shadow complements the balcony.
Maybe a tad more sharpness could be applied.
Have a lovely day,

Hello Costantino,
This is a very nice composition mainly characterized by the impressive "tracks" of the ferry. I also like the inclusion to the left of the persons standing on the upper deck. On the lower deck there is a small crowd of passengers providing colours and a relaxed atmosphere. The colours are strong and vivid, although with a slightly strong red tone.

Hello Costantino. It must be a great thing to rush with a ship on the sea and to enjoy life. Yes, this is a typical photo of the holiday season. Well seen and realized.
Rgds, Wolfgang.

Hello Costantino
the most beautiful trip in the summer as in the picture is a journey. I was impressed by the blue color of the sea. The ferry left behind when the trail is super.
Best wishes

Bonjour, cher Costantino,
Une image qui respire les vacances. La vitesse semble prodigieuse, l'écume faite par le navire est impressionnante.
Une image qui ravit les yeux et le coeur.

Hello dear friend.
Sensational this vertical composition, which allows us the vision of the two decks of the ship, as well as the magnificent wake of the same on the surface of the sea, which gives the composition superb DOF.
An image to enjoy the joy of summer with its beautiful colors, great light and perfect sharpness.
Very well done.
Have a happy day.
Best wishes.

Hello Constantino
There's the spirit of holidays everywhere in the picture...relaxing people, warm sun, the blue sea and the ship with a prominent wake of water it leaves behind..
Very nice!
With Regards

Hello Costantino,
One of these years, I've got to do this, go island-hopping in Greece. This is a very enticing photo.
