Editor's Note - The Stuff We Read - Positive Offset
Man, I love people who badmouth my editors' hard work on a monthly basis on internet truck forums. It seems everyone has an opinion on the topics we discuss in our magazine. These are the same people who have a problem with the amount of total editorial pages we produce on a monthly basis, the amount of ads we have in the magazine, and the fact their new subscriptions they have paid for run out prior to the full year being mailed to their homes.
Well, I am here to tell you, we love this banter and discussion about the magazine, both pro, and-in the case of the last few truck forums I have read-cons. Apparently no one has heard the saying, "There is no such thing as bad press." We love the harsh criticisms; it simply makes us work that much harder, so by all means, continue to criticize us. But here is a suggestion, when we actually do something you like, do not hide behind screen names on the internet and send us a few congratulatory e-mails or letters. We love to hear pros and cons, and we certainly are not afraid to publish both, as we do on a continual basis.
I really hate to get on my soapbox, but for this one month I will, so please indulge me. If you hate my column this month, please send me an e-mail, and I will personally send reply correspondence to as many as I can, but also keep in mind that as many negative e-mails I receive, I usually receive 10 more positives, and I will publish them.
Here is the deal with Truckin' magazine for all those interested: It is the No. 1, most-bought automotive newsstand publication in America and has been for five years running. The No. 2 magazine is thousands of copies behind us, so despite some criticisms, there must be hundreds of thousands of people out there who like what we do, otherwise we wouldn't have maintained our position of power.Case in point, we probably get a dozen phone calls a week from advertisers or non-advertisers looking for us to shoot tech articles or features with them because they "have to be in the big book." That is a direct quote from more than a couple of them.
Truckin' magazine is 31 years old, and for the most part, our formula for success hasn't really changed all that much in those 31 years. Back in December 2004, we polybagged our very first issue along with the normal December issue of Truckin' featuring the Top 100 trucks of all time. Guess what, even back in the very first issue of Truckin', the editors featured many of the same things we currently feature today, like cool trucks, vans, street rod-quality classic trucks, and boats. While the editorial mix has shifted and changed over the course of 31 years, we have simply streamlined our content into various sections to make it easier for people to get at the heart of what they really want to see. So if you like completely over-the-top, late-model feature trucks and exciting show coverage, you will want to read the front of our little monthly magazine. If you prefer the custom classic trucks, check out the back section of the magazine, if you prefer new and wacky audio components, read that section, and I will not even get into the boat section, because as I have stated in the past, people either completely love the section or totally despise it; there really isn't any in-between area.
Also, when you subscribe to the magazine and send in your signed card, we generally send you three copies along with a bill to pay your subscription, which you have requested in the "Pay Bill Later." Guess what? After three issues if you haven't paid, we are not going to continue your subscription. But, please give us credit for sending you three "FREE" copies prior to asking for payment. So for all those who bash us that we have messed up your subscription, no you messed it up because you have not honored your commitment to pay your bill. We are simply running a business, and we are in the business of making money like any other enterprise.
One last tirade and then I am done, and I promise you will never hear my soapbox again. To all those people who complain they do not get the premiums such as calendars, posters, stickers, license plates, and so on, with their paid subscriptions, guess what? We print hundreds of thousand of copies per month both for newsstand sale and subscribers, and those 13 issues you have paid for in your subscription price do not nearly cover the costs of the additional premiums we place in the newsstand magazines. Also, the premiums that are inside the magazine are there for a reason. We want you to buy the magazine off the newsstand. Rather than collect your year's worth of subscription money and then sit back on our laurels because we already have those funds of yours, we would prefer you purchase the magazine off the newsstand and judge us by what is in the book on that particular month. That way if you do not like it, don't buy it. Simple as that. We reserve the right to earn your dollars and your respect rather than collect your dollars and none of your respect at the beginning of the year with a paid one-year subscription.
All right, I'm done. Please feel free to bombard me with e-mail pro and con, as I am sure you will. I can be reached at www.truckinweb.com and please put my name in the subject line and I will personally address as many correspondence back to you as I can and will most definitely be publishing numerous letters. So fire away.

By Nikhil Ramsubramaniam, Bollywood Hungama News Network
Superstar of the Millennium, Amitabh Bachchan, may have worked with many top actors and actresses in his illustrious career, but believe it or not he seems to have the maximum fun when he is in the company of small children. What's more? Big B himself loves sharing screen space with these talented tiny tots, be it in films or advertisements. Bollywood Hungama showcases few films in the last few years where the Big B of Bollywood is seen sharing screen space with the small Bs (Bachche) of Bollywood. Take a look.
Its summer vacation time and B.R. Films have decided that this is the best possible time to release their latest film Bhoothnath, which is a heartwarming story of a small child and a ghost. While the ghost (who later becomes a dost) is played by none other than Amitabh Bachchan, the chotta bachcha in this case is played by Aman Siddique. Aman who has earlier worked with Big B in a couple of advertisements, seems completely at ease sharing screen space with one of the biggest stars in the country. As for the Big B, he is also having fun playing the friendly ghost with panache.
Cheeni Kum
This sugar-free romance between a 34 year old Tabu and a 64 year young Amitabh Bachchan had some really sweet moments (pun intended). And while Big B and Tabu's on-screen chemistry did take everyone by surprise, the film's supporting cast also stood out with their superb acting. While veterans like Paresh Rawal and Zohra Sehgal were as usual dependable, it was 9 year old Swini Khara who played Big B's loquacious neighbor 'Sexy' who got the maximum applause. Swini who has been seen in some T.V. serials before this literally stole the show each time she cracked those one- liners with Big B. This film is yet another instance of Big B sharing excellent chemistry with his child co-star.
Before its release, Black was only talked about for its lead pair, Amitabh Bachchan - Rani Mukherjee, and its director par excellence, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. However, once the first day - first show ended, a small bundle of talent suddenly became the talk of the town. We are talking about none other than the incredibly talented Ayesha Kapur who played the role of young Michelle McNally. Ayesha got into the skin of the character of a deaf and blind girl which was no mean feat for a child of her age. In fact, her scenes with Big B were among the highlights of the film and made everyone sit up and take notice of this small girl who suddenly came out of nowhere. What's more? Even off the sets she seemed to be having a ball with her co-star Amitabh Bachchan whom she coolly addressed by his first name Amit. This unusual jodi between Bachchan and this chotti bachchi surely has been etched in our memory permanently.
Ek Ajnabee
Apoorva Lakhia's Ek Ajnabee was pretty much a scene to scene copy of the acclaimed Denzel Washington starrer Man On Fire. While the Hollywood film raked in the moolah at the box-office, its Hindi counterpart starring Amitabh Bachchan, Arjun Rampal and Perizaad Zorabian sank without a trace. However, probably some of the best moments in this otherwise forgettable film, are the ones shared between Big B and Baby Rucha Vaidya. Big B (in a new hairdo) plays an old, retired army colonel who has been now appointed as a bodyguard to protect baby Rucha Vaidya. While she initially hates the sight of him, with the passage of time the two become quite an inseparable duo. Bachchan yet again displays his ease while sharing screen space with an actor much much younger than him.
This tear-jerker from B.R. Chopra's stable had a mammoth star cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Salman Khan, Mahima Chaudhary, Paresh Rawal etc. Big B played the patriarch of a huge family who is later disowned by his own sons. How he and his wife spend a good part of their old age in each other's company is what the film is all about. In between all this Big B also bonds with his grandson played by the adorable Yash Pathak (of Rahul fame). In fact, one of the most emotional scenes in the film is when Big B's spectacles break and the child helps him get a new pair with his pocket money. Awwwww so cute…. While there weren't too many scenes between Big B and the small wonder in this flick, their camaraderie did make you moist-eyed at times.
Kyun! Ho Gaya Naa
This Samir Karnik directed film was in the news as its lead pair Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Rai were a couple during its making. However, that alone couldn't save the film from being a washout at the box-office. To add to the star power there was none other than Amitabh Bachchan in an extended cameo. Big B played Raj Chauhan who runs an orphanage in some picturesque town down south. The orphanage is full of tiny brats who run helter-skelter and make life miserable for Bachchan. However, unlike some of his other films, the chemistry between Bachchan and the kids didn't really excite the viewers much, who had come to see a passionate love story. By the end of it all, exasperated viewers were left asking Kyun, (Picture) Ho Gaya Kya?

Administrative Manual - 207 Leaves of Absence
207.08 Other Paid Leave
JSA recognizes that certain other types of paid administrative leave are required to: support civic involvement by its employees, lessen the impact of public and weather emergencies on its employees, and provide a short period of paid time off for employees who make significant sacrifices of personal time for which they are otherwise uncompensated.
- Search and Rescue or Disaster Control
A regular or term employee working a schedule of 20 hours per week or more who performs search and rescue or disaster control work as a member of an organized civil unit may be granted work time off with pay to participate in an actual operation. Leave with pay shall not be granted for training, drills, or practice exercises. The Human Resources Manager or his/her designee is the approval authority for all requested leave for search and rescue or disaster control work.
- Community Service Volunteers
In support of an organized volunteer effort sponsored by local, not-for-profit, charitable organizations, the Director may designate one day per year as a community service day. Each employee, up to a maximum of 20 employees per year, who works that day as a community service volunteer may be authorized administrative leave with pay for the day. The employees' supervisors, with the prior concurrence of the Human Resources Manager, approve all paid leave for Community Service Volunteers.
- Search and Rescue or Disaster Control
- General
Any employee may be granted time off with pay during a public emergency which effectively prevents attendance at work or the continuation of work in a normal and orderly manner. A public emergency may be either a natural disaster (fire, flood, hurricane, earthquake, etc.) or a man-made disorder (demonstration, riot, act of sabotage, etc.). Authorization for time off with pay for such emergencies shall be made by the Director, the Chief Operating Officer, or their designee. The Human Resources Manager shall publish guidance on time reporting immediately following a public emergency.
- Weather Emergency
The most common type of public emergency experienced at the Lab is a weather emergency which seriously affects employees' ability to get to or from work. Even when a weather emergency is not severe enough to force the closure of the facility, it may necessitate either an early dismissal or late start, or both, for nonessential employees. Employees may make a personal decision considering safety first on when to come to or leave work during a weather emergency. These decisions should be based on an employee's judgment regarding their ability to get to or from work safely (i.e. road conditions). A personal emergency related to weather (i.e. a tree falls on your house) is not covered by weather emergency leave.
- Designation of Nonessential Employees
Associate Directors/Office heads will designate essential employees for their organization. Those not so designated will be considered nonessential.
- Eligibility for Paid Leave
- All employees that accrue leave are eligible for paid leave in the event of a weather emergency.
- Part-time employees will receive paid leave only for those hours they were scheduled to work.
- Only nonessential employees who are at work and remain at work until the designated time of closing will be granted paid emergency leave during an early dismissal situation.
- When an official late start has been declared, nonessential employees will receive up to a maximum of three hours of paid emergency leave, subject to their supervisor's approval. The Jefferson Lab Public Affairs Manager is responsible for announcing official late starts and lab closures. Official announcements will be distributed through several internal communications modes, the lab's website (www.jlab.org/status) and will also be shared with the local news media.
- Employee Responsibilities
- Employees who, on their own, decide that weather conditions preclude their attendance or require their early departure may take vacation leave (or leave without pay if no vacation accrual is available) as long as it is coordinated with their supervisor.
- Employees who fail to meet their regular work schedule because of a personal decision regarding weather conditions shall take vacation leave (or leave without pay if no vacation accrual is available) for all hours not worked if they report to work after the designated late start time or leave before the designated early closing time.
- Guidance on Time Reporting
The Human Resources Manager shall issue guidance on time reporting immediately following each weather emergency situation.
- Designation of Nonessential Employees
- General

There was a little bit of a fervor raised over the weekend when Stan McNeal of the Sporting News called Derek Jeter the "greatest shortstop in MLB history." I don't agree with McNeal's article in the slightest (and I imagine I'll elaborate on that sometime in the near future), but it reminded me of an article from an old issue of Baseball Digest.
In the article, Hall of Fame outfielder Max Carey – one of the greatest basestealers in history, a good fielder, and a deadball alumnus – does his best to determine the greatest ballplayer of all time – as of 1957 (or even 1955, as the article seems to be a reprint from Esquire). Carey tries to be objective in his rankings, rating players on a 0-100 scale for batting and "intangibles" and on a 0-75 scale for defense and baserunning. The players with the best overall totals in the three categories (each broken up into subcategories like "power", "hit for club", "run scoring", and "sliding", though my favorites are from the intangibles section: "intelligence", "team play", "fitness", "unselfishness", and "hustle") were called the best in baseball history.
As you read Carey's explanations for his rankings, you learn that he is a bit biased towards his brand of baseball. He cites, for example, an "overemphasis on power" and relays facts as "base running was an art" on the old Pittsburgh Pirates teams.
Honus Wagner comes in as Carey's greatest player of all time, scoring perfectly in all categories. This is a fair conclusion (and let's not forget that Wagner was a shortstop). Most everything else is hard to justify, though. Eddie Collins, a man known for a high average, good speed, and a lot of hustle, takes second. George Sisler, known today only for his high batting average, takes third, ahead of Ty Cobb, who Carey knocks down solely because "he was so egocentric he never became a team player." Tris Speaker rounds out the top five. Stan Musial doesn't show up until seventh, with Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, and Lou Gehrig going tenth through twelfth. Babe Ruth falls all the way to 18th on Carey's list, just slightly ahead of Ted Williams (19th) and Roger Bresnahan (20th).
The Babe "could not bunt like Collins, hit to all fields like Cobb, or engineer the hit-and-run like Wagner. On the bases his talents were only adequate. In the field, though not a Speaker, he never took a ball off stride or threw to the wrong base. But he was not fast, did not keep in top condition, and at times he did not hustle as might have been expected of so great a star." Carey's convinced me: clearly, Babe Ruth just wasn't a great ballplayer.
Obviously, this list was only one (biased) man's opinion and not representative of the era at large. I have a hard time believing more than a handful of men in the 1950s viewed anyone other Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb as the greatest player of all time. But it's fun to look at nearly sixty years later, if only for a glimpse into that forgotten perspective. It also helps show us that people have been incorrectly judging players' places in history for a long time. I guess Stan McNeal is in good company.

This recipe is from Sally Parrott Ashbrook of the blog, Aprovechar.
You can also substitute plain hemp protein powder for the chocolate protein powder, but should add some cocoa powder or chocolate syrup to give this smoothie the required chocolate boost.
Sally also notes, "Of course, you can avoid the hemp powder and try adding other protein sources to give your smoothie staying power, as well. Several people have told me they swear by rice protein powder, and many healthy folks I know make smoothies with greens like kale and spinach for fiber and protein."
Choco-Berry Smoothie
1 cup hemp milk (plain / original)
2/3 cup frozen berries (I used raspberries and blackberries)
3 Tablespoons chocolate hemp powder
1 Tablespoon chocolate chips (will blend into tiny chunks, so use chocolate syrup instead, or skip it, if you want a smooth texture)
Combine all ingredients in the blender, and blend well. Add more ice for a thicker smoothie.
For three more recipes using chocolate HempShake, see this post on Aprovechar!

Yeah, we should have know what she was doing from the beginning. Below is the full SodaStream Super Bowl commercial starring Scarlett Johansson, and you must be wondering, A. Why leak the whole thing now? And, B. How can they get away with their tag line: "Sorry, Coke and Pepsi."?
The answer is, they can't. What SodaStream did is very clever, although certainly not unprecedented (they did it last year, as a matter of fact). After initially rejecting the ad, FOX has now accepted it after SodaStream agreed to take out the Coke and Pepsi line. Because it takes pretty direct shots at Coke and Pepsi, which are huge Super Bowl sponsors. Stepping on those corporate toes would certainly not be allowed.
"One of the lines of the ad was asked to the removed," wrote SodaStream spokeswoman Nirit Hurwitz, in an email to CNNMoney, identifying the rejected line as: "Sorry, Coke and Pepsi."
So now the Israeli brand has some free viral publicity via YouTube, six full days before the ad even airs. Plus having Johansson in a skimpy cocktail dress sipping on a straw doesn't hurt. Then there's the whole Palestinian factor (the company's factory is in the occupied West Bank).
Well played by SodaStream once again: although morally questionable all the way around.
But all's fair in love and soda, apparently.
Here are the updated power rankings, which will be presented each weekday as new trailers debut:
1. Axe Body Spray. In "Axe Peace: Make Love, Not War", Axe poses the eternal question: what if all the world's most war-loving leaders and their minions all started the day with a refreshing dose of scented liquid? Included here I see, apparently, is the Vietnam War, which predates Axe by a full decade. Better idea for that spot: how about Chris Christie getting sprayed down (shudder), then canceling the George Washington Bridge closure?
2. Jaguar USA. A short teaser for their "British Villains" spot, which proves what I've been saying for the past two years: Tom Hiddleston needs to be the villain in every movie from now on.
3. Dannon Oikos Yogurt. The terrifyingly surreal quality of this commercial cannot be understated — I think each one of us at one time has awaken in a cold sweat having dreamed just such a scenario. You and your former roommates, now in late middle age, all still living together. And the image of Dave Coulier in footy pajamas is just too jarring for network TV, in my opinion. Anyway, the three "Full House" stars are reuniting for multiple ads during the game (John Stamos has been a spokesman for Dannon for the past couple of years). Good luck getting to sleep tonight.
4. Toyota Highlander. This whole thing seems ominous, foreboding and hopefully funny. The mind runs wild with ideas, among them a stranded, desperately hungry Miss Piggy making a small meal out of Kermit.
Toyota is taking its "Let's Go Places" theme into the Super Bowl with an ad featuring Terry Crews — a former NFL linebacker, formerly an Old Spice guy, and current star of Fox's "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." It also stars the Muppets.
The ad, which runs in the second quarter of the game, evinces a cross-promotional deal with Disney. The 60-second TV ad does double duty by touting the carpeted characters' new Disney movie "Muppets Most Wanted," which premieres in March.
The NFL and Disney seem poised to take as much of your money as possible.
5. SodaStream. Johansson's contention that SodaStream "will save the world" is rather ironic, considering the controversy surrounding her participation. The Israeli company has set up factories in the occupied West Bank, and Johansson's defense isn't convincing anyone.
6. Volkswagen. Apparently things have gone horribly wrong back in the lab. The makers of my favorite Super Bowl commercial — little Darth Vader –have been traditionally strong during the big game. But as this teaser demonstrates, it's not an exact science.
7. Doritos. The company's "Crash the Super Bowl" contest is down to five finalists, and this one is our favorite. Because, wrongfully accused ostrich.
8. Pepsi. It's unclear whether this spot, "Twice In A Lifetime", is an actual commercial that will air during the game, or just a promotion for the Pepsi Halftime Show. Either way, it's pretty cool. Rory O'Connor thinks he's being interviewed about the time he attended Super Bowl IV, only to have that game's halftime show recreated right in front of him. Carol Channing!
9. Doritos. Here's another finalist, as we see a young Justin Bieber making morally questionable decisions when his mom asks for help unloading the groceries. This makes the list primarily for the final scene, in which the mom cheers her young son being painfully hogtied.
10. Doritos. In which a doofus is conned by a kid to hand over his delicious bag of flavored chips. Left unmentioned is why the boy has set up this elaborate scam in someone else's front yard — someone who seems to hate him, no less.

Civil Air Patrol helps battle flooding in Fargo area
As a wintry storm swirled outside, covering the Fargo, N.D., area with a blanket of snow, Civil Air Patrol cadets from the Bemidji area worked inside the Fargodome filling sandbags Wednesday.
A day earlier, the cadets helped sandbag along the Red River to prevent the anticipated rising water levels from reaching homes.
The Civil Air Patrol's Northland Composite Squadron based in Bemidji dispatched a team of 14 members Monday night to assist in the flood-relief efforts in the Fargo area.
The late-night trip took several hours longer than expected because of impassible or closed roads into the Fargo area. The three officers and 11 cadets arrived in Fargo early Tuesday morning and checked into their mission base at the terminal adjacent to the Air National Guard base in Fargo.
After sleeping at Temple Baptist Church in Fargo, the team headed out Tuesday to sandbag along the Red River.
The cadets did a phenomenal job, said 1st Lt. Rob Sandberg, the squadron's emergency services officer.
On Tuesday, the cadets worked through muddy conditions and off-and-on rain while sandbagging along the Red River, Sandberg said. They worked for eight hours - including breaks - with sandbags weighing 35-40 pounds.
Due to the snow Wednesday, the team stayed inside, filling sandbags in the Fargodome.
"It was just a real pleasure to be able to go and help the Fargo community," Sandberg said.
Cadet Staff Sgt. Kristin Schrader, 17, of Lake George, said she was glad to help.
"It was a lot of fun," she said. "It was hard work."
Schrader said it was neat to be able to help the local residents save their homes.
"They were very grateful," she said.
"It was pretty cool because that is what we do in Civil Air Patrol is help people like that," said Cadet Staff Sgt. Joshua Mandrell, 15, of Bemidji.
Cadet 2nd Lt. Ethan Sundquist, 17, of Bemidji, said one woman who was helping in a sandbag line along the Red River later went into her house and brought out fresh-baked goods to the volunteers.
"It was astonishing how some people kept going," Sundquist said.
Along with making cookies and other goodies, Sandberg said residents also brought out their grills to grill food for the volunteers.Sundquist, the squadron's cadet commander, said the mission this week to the Fargo area was the first time any of the 11 cadets had taken part in flood-relief efforts.
"I think it went over very well," Sundquist said. "We train for this kind of stuff."
For the cadets to be ready to go on any type of mission, they have to practice and train for hundreds of hours, said Capt. Robin Helgager, the squadron's commander.
She noted that the cadets have been waiting to do a mission like this to put their training into practice.
"I'm just so proud of them," Helgager said.
The squadron returned to Bemidji Wednesday night and is currently on standby to help with flood-relief efforts locally. Sandberg said the squadron may send a team to the Fargo area again next week or later to help with efforts there.

OriginOil Teams with CWT for Wastewater Clean-up
June 8, 2012
os Angeles, CA-based OriginOil is gearing up for the commercial roll out of its oil and gas wastewater clean-up systems, and has selected Clean Water Technology (CWT), based in Los Angeles, to manufacture the company's systems. OriginOil will work with water engineering specialists PACE to develop the first commercial units, designed to help process up to 1 barrel of petroleum-contaminated "frac flowback" water per minute, or up to 60,000 gallons per day.
CWT was chosen for its expertise in the wastewater industry and for its previous success building OriginOil-engineered systems. To shorten time to market, CWT plans to adapt the shells of its own wastewater treatment units already on hand. "At this phase, Clean Water Technology represents what we need in a manufacturer for the rollout and commercialization of this technology," said Riggs Eckelberry, CEO of OriginOil. "When we had to scale up fast for our Australian algae harvesting pilot program, CWT delivered. We're pleased that they have found a way to manufacture these units quickly so that we can prove ourselves in the oil fields this summer."
"We believe we can quickly roll out OriginOil's water remediation systems by building their equipment into our existing wastewater treatment units," said Wade Morse, CWT's chief operating officer. "OriginOil's system is modular and can easily be dropped into existing equipment in the field."
OriginOil recently announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Fountain Valley, CA-based PACE to collaborate with oil field operators in Texas and elsewhere to improve petroleum recovery and water cleaning for re-use at well sites, using a process originally developed for algae harvesting.

Jose Fonte is hoping to lure Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Mario to Southampton despite interest from Chelsea and Manchester United.
The Saints skipper spoke out following speculation that the 23-year-old midfielder is being tracked by several top Premier League clubs this summer after an impressive campaign in Portugal, where he helped his side finish just two points behind champions Benfica.
It is being reported that Jose Mourinho will look to snap up Mario as soon as he is installed as United boss this week, while his former club Chelsea are also said to be tracking the player ahead of Antonio Conte's arrival in the Stamford Bridge hot seat later this summer.
Mario is said to have a release clause of £46.4million, which would probably be prohibitive to the Saints, but it has not stopped Fonte from insisting that he will do all he can to try and persuade his fellow Portugal international team-mate to move to St Mary's.
"I think he should go to Southampton!" he told Portuguese publication Mais Futebol.
"He's a great player, with great quality, he's said to be going to England, and has the quality for Manchester United or Chelsea. I'll make everything so he can come to Southampton. Let's see."

I wanted to book a room for July 6th and 7th. However due to some error this became July 28th/29th. I booked June 12th. Immediatly I called to set things straight. I was flabbergasted by the service provided, they basically tell you its bad luck and the error cant be corrected. If you cancel you lose all your money and right for room. Never have I been treated like this at a reservation service. Normally they are willing to help, especialy with something booked more then a month in advance. But this BOOKING SERVICE only cares for money. No human element involved.
DO NOT BOOK with this ONLINE service, if anything goes wrong they are NOT willing to cooperate in ANY WAY. You will be treated like a bag of cash, the more they can get out of you the better. No service whatsoever if anyting goes wrong. They just see oppertunity for emptying you further. I do not understand such service, I for one am sure to NEVER book with this company again, just because they treated my this way. They could have made me a satisfied customer by helping me, Id be willing to pay extra to have the mistake corrected, but now Im not willing to EVER do business with them again, and strongly urge others to not do so either, unless you like being treated like a number and a cashbag.

SALEM, Ore. (CBS Seattle) – An Oregon woman crashed into two police cars parked on a highway near Salem with their emergency lights flashing, reports KATU-TV.
In the car were two highly intoxicated passengers and a "designated driver" with a blood alcohol content over twice the legal limit, said police.
Deputies arrested 26-year-old Mercede Lynn Ogan on DUI and reckless driving charges.
She told police she was driving because her friends were too drunk.
The sheriff's office said the impact of the collision pushed one police car into another.
That car, and Ogan's car, had to be towed away.
No one was hurt in the incident.

They might of been big a while back but you NEED to keep us entertained and we need to see you putting the work in (even if you are behind the scenes or in next areas) the second you go quiet you've lost the hype and you might aswell call yourself Lash that Tash.. Because it will take ALOOOOOT to get back to where you were before.
So my last drop i added the Scorcher Vs Wiley audio, Today ive got Jammer AND Wiley hitting back at the movement... Audio right here. Which was on Logans show last night.
So Lady Fury is back...
With a make up artist and a backpack high to the zip with slimfast!
But is there any real difference lyrically?
She still has that brick manly voice...however pretty you think she looks.
"I predict that your LP will Flop"
Alot of these bars are older than the Frozen Garden Peas in my freezer, And in my opinion thats the only kinda P's she's going to be touching...

Andrea Pirlo is happy in Serie A, but after "two more years with Juventus maybe I'll move to the United States."
Ahead of today's friendly game in Singapore, the midfielder spoke to Today online about why he spent his entire career in Italy.
"Why should I move? Serie A is a top-level league and life in Italy is comfortable," said Pirlo.
"Two more years with Juventus, then maybe I will move to the MLS in the United States."
This fits with his current contract status, as the deal with Juve expires in June 2016.
The veteran was welcomed as a hero by Brazilian fans at the World Cup, but modestly suggests he didn't work that hard to achieve this level.
"I don't know. Maybe I was born lucky. Mother Nature has made me such and given me the skills and the talent to succeed, and I am grateful for that."

Dec. 5 (UPI) -- The French military has begun operations in the Central African Republic's capital, Bangui, Defense Minister Laurent Fabius said Friday.
A military coup in the CAR a few months ago has led the country down a violent path, leading to the UN approving French and African military forces deployment.
"It is clear that urgent action is needed to save lives," said US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power.
At least 105 people have been killed in the capital in clashes over the past few months. French and African forces have been sent to protect civilians and hopefully prevent the outbreak of a nasty sectarian war.
"I'm worried what kind of reprisals there will be later. Nobody is moving and it's a real ghost town," said Sylvain Groulx of Médecins Sans Frontières.
The conflict is between former rebels called the Seleka and Christian vigilante groups known as the "anti-balaka".
After the UN approved France's involvement, French President Francois Hollande released the following statement: "Given the urgency, I have decided to act immediately, that is to say as of this evening in coordination with the Africans and with the support of European partners. Already 600 French troops are there. This number will be doubled within a few days, if not a few hours."
Hollande has been criticized at home for getting involved in foreign military conflicts including in Mali and his support for US intervention in Syria.

What art styles do people find interesting or unusual? Not paintings, but 'looks' in general. E.g: Steampunk, Art Deco, noir- stylised visuals are interesting for me, because not just they look cool, but also have a history in them.
I'm interested in all of the genres you mentioned. When it comes to art, music, literature... I'm pretty open about genre, style, or theme.
What I love is seeing stuff that is creative, interesting, and well-crafted. Everything from Italian Renaissance art through to futuristic Japanese electronic music.

Migranal Information:
What is Migranal?
Migranal is in the ergot alkaloid class of drugs. It has been proven to relieve migraine headaches with or without aura, and it is believed to work by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and blocking certain pain pathways. It should not be used to treat common tension headaches.
How do I take Migranal?
Carefully follow the instructions on the medication label to attach a single-dose vial of Migranal to the nasal spray bottle. If you have questions about the directions, talk to your pharmacist. Once you have secured the vial in the bottle, face the spray nozzle away from you and push it down four times to prime the pump. It is okay if some of the medication sprays out. Once the pump is primed, place the tip of the nozzle inside your nostril and spray. Do not tilt your head back or inhale through your nose. Do the same with the other nostril. You should administer a total of four sprays to each nostril, waiting 15 minutes between each spray.
Before taking Migranal, tell your doctor if:
- You are allergic to this or any other medications
- You are taking any other prescription or non-prescription medications or supplements, especially any macrolide antibiotics or anti-HIV medications
- You have high blood pressure or circulation problems
- You have a history or family history of heart or artery problems
- You are a smoker
- You have kidney or liver disease
- You get hemiplegic or basilar migraines
- You are breastfeeding, pregnant, or trying to become pregnant
What are the possible side effects of taking Migranal?
Some people have reported minor nasal congestion, sore throat, dizziness, tiredness, a change in their sense of taste, nausea, or vomiting after taking Migranal. If you have any of these side effects and they become bothersome, tell your doctor. Call your doctor right away if you notice numbness in your fingers or toes, leg weakness, chest pain, muscle pain in your arms or legs, an irregular heartbeat, or signs of an allergic reaction.
What if I forget to take a dose of Migranal?
Migranal should be taken at the first sign of a migraine headache, rather than on a set schedule, so forgetting a dose should not be an issue.
How do I store Migranal?
Store Migranal at room temperature, away from bright light and moisture. Keep it out of reach of any children or pets in your home. Only open an individual vial of medication when you are ready to use it. Any open medication that has not been used after eight hours should be thrown away. If you are unsure how to properly dispose of this drug, talk to your pharmacist.
What happens if I overdose on Migranal?
You should never use more of the Migranal nasal spray than you have been prescribed. There is no proven benefit to taking more than a single dose in a 24-hour period. If you or someone in your household does use too much of the medication, contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
If you get migraines on a daily basis, talk to your doctor about other medications. Migranal is not meant to treat chronic migraine pain on a daily basis. If your doctor does prescribe Migranal, avoid sniffing when you spray the medication in your nostrils. The drug needs to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the lining of the nasal cavities.
Brand Name
Migranal is a brand name drug. The makers of Migranal have also released a generic version of the drug, called dihydroergotamine mesylate. HelpRx offers a coupon and discount card for Migranal and the generic form of the medication.

Lovable British comedian Gyles Brandreth's look at the pursuit of happiness and why it matters - refreshingly free of wishy-washy, feel-good mumbo-jumbo and full of straightforward, down-to-earth guidance.
On June 17, 2013, Gyles Brandreth delivered the Baggs Memorial Lecture at the University of Birmingham - an annual conference on the theme of happiness and how it can be achieved. His speech was met with thunderous applause and a widespread demand to know more about the secrets of being happy, so he set about writing this poignant book of truths, sprinkled with British wit and humor throughout.
With extensive research backing him, Brandreth travels the world over and meets numerous luminary figures, asking the questions: What is happiness? Who gets to be happy? For the Queen of Denmark, it is finding happiness in routine; for Sheikh Raschid al Maktoum, it is the certainty of being confident in yourself when others doubt you; for Rod Stewart, it is taking pleasure in the simple things.
Through fascinating anecdotes by the likes of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and renowned psychiatrist Dr. Anthony Clare, Brandreth explains why you need to know the seven secrets of happiness and why you need them now. "Gyles Brandreth has access to the secrets of the human heart." (The Times (London)). "How the Queen, Rod Stewart and Andrew Marr's brave fightback can teach you to be happy." (Daily Mail).

Using Color to Figure Out Pressure
Free samples are available of an interesting new pressure indicating sensor film from Sensor Products in Madison, NJ. By changing color, this thin sensor film reveals stress distribution and magnitude between any two surfaces that come into contact. The intensity of the color is quantifiable and makes it possible to determine the psi at any point on the contacting surfaces. The film color is translated to pressure by comparing it to a color calibration table or by using an optional imaging system. Pressure indicating sensor film can be used in R&D and QC for such applications as validation and calibration of sealing die pressure during food and drug packaging. The film also can be used to verify and record pressure distribution during equipment setup, preventive maintenance and product changeover for various form/fill/seal, deposit/fill/seal and CAP/MAP systems.

A macroeconomic credit risk model for stress testing the South African banking sector
In this study a macroeconomic credit risk model for stress testing the South African banking sector was developed. The findings demonstrate that macroeconomic shocks have a large impact on credit losses. However, owing to a high level of current capitalisation, the South African banking sector is resilient to severe economic shocks. At the same time, banks are rather sensitive to changes in real interest rates and property prices due to the high share of mortgages at flexible interest rates in their credit portfolios.

Sensuali Amoris
Sensuali is a Malcubi Demon, the greatest of her kind, and mother of her species. And she is also revered as the Demon of Bliss. Through the Eons she has risen in stature, especially once she found a way to harness power from the Plane of Bliss. And there she created a realm for herself and her kind. As far as family is concerned she has spawned many sons and daughters, and sharing very special relationships with them. Her mortal name is Andrea Morales, though her friends just often call her "Sens" .
Sensuali stands 5'8" in height, and has a very voluptuous figure. Her eyes are the color of Red rubies which often sparkle or glow with a dim ember like quality. Her long hair is the darkest midnight, and is often styled thick and full. Her breasts generous in their size, soft, full, yet firm. They defy gravity with a sinful quality. Her waist thin comparably with her figure, but her hips round and curvaceous. Beckoning a view with a sexy saunter.
Knowledge & Abilities.
Sensuali has knowledge in Theological practices, because she has run a Temple of Bliss for as long as she has been around. Sensuali is skilled in homeopathic remedies for curing. Her knowledge in the Arcane is very extensive, and she is quite the adept. Which has earned her the rare title as an Abyssal lord, their power is unmatched save by other Abyssal lords from the Demon Plane. She has access to the energies from the Plane of Bliss where she now makes her home.
Her other skills include several sensual arts, such as massage, dancing, and seduction. She is also quite business savvy as can be seen in her mortal dealings, as the head of the famous adult magazine known as "Goddess" a subdivision of the Forbidden Adult Industry, run by her male counterpart Soren. Her mortal persona as Andrea, is known is the mortal world as a very successful porn star. Though now she is more into the business aspects.
Combat tactics include a more agile form of martial arts, and has incorporated dancing into it. Though she has a wide array of weapons use, and several Eons of combat training at her disposal.
Sensuali's mind and personality have been shaped over the past few centuries. She is a very open woman about her sexuality, and though she may have several lovers she does want someone to love on a more permanent basis. Her sexuality is centered on women, though at one time she shared herself with men and women equally. Eventually she became set in the pleasures of women alone. Sensuali is a sensate , hedonist, and an exhibitionist. She loves to show off her body and be in the spotlight, as can be seen by her recent job at the demonic club known as the pit. However do not take her predisposition for sexual encounters, as meaning she is a kinky or deviant person. She prefers more passionate and sensual experiences.
Special Abilities
- Demonic Paths: Sensuali knows all demonic paths, and perhaps a few more not listed on this site. Demonic Protection, Demonic Strength, Poisonous Claws, Malleable Form, Empathic Manipulation, Pheromones, Soul Shaping, Hellfire, Quickness, Visionary, Torment, Soul Stealing.
- Abyssal Lord: As a abyssal lord she is a Demon of Bliss. She has control over vast arcane forces within her areas of influence. One of these affects, is a constant aura of sensation. That heightens a persons sense of touch. When they are in physical contact with her.
- Arcane Knowledge. As a priestess in her earlier life, her magic centers around very ancient forms. That most cultures are not used to seeing. Her master of this art, allows her to do things others could not do. Which includes traveling to other dimensions and times, to meet new exciting people with who she can share pleasure with.
Magical Artifacts
- Soul Blades: At one point Sensuali had two lovers that were killed machinations of a rival demon house. When she found out they were assassinated, she was crushed at the loss. She tore the assassins soul apart, and used it to forge these deadly blades from it. She then hunted down the souls of her lovers, and stored them into the two ruby soul stones that are set in the pommel. At one point her soul blades were fashioned as daggers, with armor penetrating qualities which secret a deadly poison. They also had the ability to attack on their own power. Recently the blades were incorporated into gauntlets from which she could extend long serrated blades which look like claws.
- Demoplasm: Sensuali developed this by adapting upon the birthing chambers, which creates a symbiotic plasma which is composed of hell forged demonic souls. It adapts to a wearer, granting enhanced endurance. Its symbiotic nature, allows it to shape itself into any clothes the owner might desire. Providing protection, and limited healing abilities when needed (by sealing cuts and wounds with itself). This symbiotic liquid which covers her, seems sentient and partially alive. And can react at the speed of thought. This dual nature grants her additional abilities, such as a heightened agility and endurance. The ability to leap great distances or even climb on any angled surface.
Minions and Followers
The Sisters of Ecstasy, is composed of an elite group of women specially picked out by Sensuali. They have been trained in the arts of combat, magic, and have generally come from the priesthood (though this is not always the case) which worships Sensuali as a patron of Bliss. They still serve their usual functions, but they are the only ones who get the pleasure of being with the goddess, and sharing illiaster (sexual energy) with her. Each one of these women basically are Sensuali's personal body guards, and are considered Elitists. Each one bears the mark of Sensuali, a red tattoo somewhere on their body of a pair of two red lips. Parted by a tongue against the upper lip. This mark is magical, and grants each woman a number of beneficial abilities. The longer a woman remains a sister, the more she turns into a Malcubi demon.
- Radiant Halo: Each Radiant sister's head is surrounded by a halo that matches the sister's hair color, a manifestation and link and loyalty to Sensuali The radiant sister can change the intensity of the illumination it provides from a faint glow to a bright illumination. Should a sister wish it to, she can concentrate the light on one foe. And attempt to permanently blind her opponent.
- Ecstasy's Gift: A sister can embrace a willing or helpless creature, and grant them a boost to their natural charm and persuasiveness, as well as a minor luck bonus. The radiant sister's name manifests as a tattoo in abyssal on that creature's body. The radiant sister can also monitor that creatures condition and location, and communicate telepathically with the radiant sister. This ability is quite similar to the gift Sensuali has placed on them, though this gift lasts for the duration of the sister's life time. So Sensuali can monitor, and speak telepathically with them.
- Temptation's Gift: As long as a radiant sister wears no armor, they can a bonus to their charisma checks against other female creatures. As well as increasing the difficulty of those spells she uses against other women.
Character Background
There was a time, when demons (the fallen) were called angels (The risen). And they flew across the celestial heavens doing the will of the Magnor pantheon. But when the gods created man, and all the other races upon the earth of Magnor. It was their job of the Angels to keep and take care of their progeny, to guide them on a true path. But in the hubris of several angels, their over confidence grew, and they took it upon themselves to teach the mortal races things which the gods did not want them to know. And because of that sin, many were cast down into the Abyss to become the fallen. The first of the demons, among one of these was an Angel known as Sensuali.
When Sensuali fell to the Abyss, she became one of the fallen. Her beauty did not change much, though the energies of the Abyss twisted her, she became even more exotic. Growing the horns, wings, and tails attributed to most of her kind. She became the mother of the Malcubi demon race, which is parent race for the more lesser demons known as Succubi and Incubi. With her , another fallen , named Soren joined her. And they created their species. The Malcubi have always been known as creatures of passion and bliss.
After the creation of the Birthing Pits, the First generation were born. It was a joyous golden age for the Malcubi race, their popularity grew among many of the Demon houses in the Abyss. And soon the Malcubi became known as favored Courtesans or spies. It was many centuries later that the power of Sensuali and Soren grew, and they achieved the status as Abyssal lords. It brought the Malcubi much prestige and envy from the other houses. Both of them grew restless in their relationship. So they separated and began to explore and taste all the pleasures that Malcubi could experience .However constant turmoil with the other Demon families, forced the Malcubi to leave and with the abyssal power of the two, they tapped into the Plane of Bliss and created a pocket dimension for themselves called Elysia.
After so much time, Sensuali eventually grew bored with her time in Elysia. So she began to explore other realms and dimensions of existence. In her time she found a realm to her liking called Marakesh, a city of splendor and wonder, located in a alternate future world of Magnor. Where magic, and science blended into a universe very similar to freedom city though it is one century ahead of its time by our own standards. An entirely new world had opened up for her, she become a model, and an adult video star. This opened up a new world of sensation for her, which she has greedily aspired to.
Her plans include creating a perfume line which is a distilled version of her own pheromones. Which could bring even more people under her sway and control. The start of a new temple of pleasure has begun in Marakesh, so that a second base of power is available to her and Soren.

Good site close to the town and railway station. Good Car Parking and access and Camping next to your car. Excellent bands both known and unknown. Nice clean toilets and showers. Litter free site. Lots for the kids - football workshops, face paining, juggling, drumming. Very laid back. One of the best "small" festies. Unfortunately, Tescos ran out of ice, the weather was so hot.

Advocates of gay marriage appear to have made gains both at the U.S. Supreme Court and in Congress this week, as the court's justices hinted in oral arguments in two different cases this week they would side with same-sex marriage advocates, while a flood of Democratic senators from conservative states joined their liberal colleagues in backing gay marriage.
In oral arguments Tuesday and Wednesday, the Supreme Court, particularly Justice Anthony Kennedy, the critical swing vote, seemed wary of offering a sweeping ruling either affirming or rejecting same-sex marriage. But the justices did not seem inclined to reinstate Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure that banned gay marriage in California but has been struck down by federal courts.
And the justices seemed even more skeptical of the Defense of Marriage Act, a 1996 law that defines marriage between a man and a woman, thereby denying same-sex couples federal benefits accorded to opposite-sex couples.
Democrats fall in line on LGBT marriage rights
At the same time, on the political front, a more decided shift towards support of gay marriage continued. While President Obama and many senators from traditionally Democratic states have already declared their support for gay marriage, they were joined this week by Kay Hagan (N.C.), Jon Tester (Mont.) and Claire McCaskill (Mo.), all of whom represent states Mitt Romney won in November, as well as Virginia's Mark Warner, who has long cultivated a reputation as a centrist Democrat.
The new support illustrated that few Democrats now believe backing gay marriage poses a political risk to them, even if they represent a traditionally-Republican state.
And in Republican circles, opposition to gay marriage appears to be softening as well. GOP senators Rand Paul (Ky.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.), both positioning themselves for potential 2016 presidential runs, have each recently suggested that while they personally oppose gay marriage, the issue should be decided on a state-by-state basis, a shift from the Republican Party's previously ironclad opposition to gay marriage.
Polls show growing numbers of Republicans under age 50 back gay marriage, particularly those under 30, even as elderly voters still strongly oppose it.
Challenges remain for gay rights advocates
Despite all this momentum for gay marriage, it's important to note gay it is still banned in 30 states, many of which also bar civil unions.
The Supreme Court sounds like it is unwilling to wipe all of those laws off the books, and the Obama administration and Congress are not pushing any kind of legislation to make gay marriage a national right. And while a pro-gay marriage referendum will likely pass today in Oregon, a liberal state that has still has a gay marriage ban, it's unclear if a more conservative place like Alabama will soon accept gay unions unless courts force them to.
For now though, the question seems when, not if, acceptance of gay marriage will be allowed throughout America.

I came across this little restaurant a couple of months ago. WOW !!!! Huge fresh baked sandwiches on homemade Ciabatta bread. You cannot finish one by yourself.. They have baked pasta dishes as well/ Have not tried them yet, but the smell of the pasta coming out of the oven is incredible.
Back to the sandwiches; I HIGHLY reccommend the "Bronx Bomber".
The restaurant is in the corner of the shopping plaza on the corner of Spanish River Blvd and Dixie Highway
Try it. You will not be disappointed..


text: Cape Town - Radio journalist Gadijah Davids has been released by Israeli authorities after she was detained for being part of a convoy that tried to break through the Gaza blockade, her mother said on Wednesday."We spoke directly to her for half a minute last night. She was just telling us that she is on her way home," said Magboeba Davids.The Department of International Relations told the family that Davids was "physically fine, but emotionally not fine".The place they were detained at was clean and all their needs were met.EquipmentShe had been "separated" from the equipment she used as a Radio786 reporter, and it was not clear yet whether this was returned.The family understood that she would be coming home via Jordan but the finer points of her travel arrangements were not yet known.Davids said that her daughter had refused to be deported by the Israeli authorities but then later the authorities decided to release all foreigners."They were asked to sign an admission of guilt fine, but they all refused because they were in international waters [at the time of the clash]."She said: "In the moment, I must commend her and all those who were detained for not signing the admission of guilt."BlockadeDavids was among hundreds of people, including artists, politicians and human rights activists, on board the six ships sailing towards Gaza.Israel had imposed a blockade on Gaza, following prolonged periods of mortar fire between Gaza and Israel. Israel argued that preventing the landing of weaponry, or materials to manufacture weapons, was the only way it could protect its citizens.Many countries had made it their policy to call for the blockade to be lifted, agreeing with humanitarian organisations that it was causing suffering.On Monday the Israeli Defence Force intercepted the flotilla saying organisers had refused to allow the ships to be searched for weapons and had refused to land the goods at a port of Israel's choice to enable a search.At least nine civilians died in violent clashes on one of the ships, the Mavi Marmara, which Davids was on.

" Brand: Imperial Leather / Texture: Cream / Type: Shower Cream "
I go to stay at my parents house quite frequently and up until recently all they had in their guest shower was a bar of soap. Now, I don't like bars of soap in the shower as I find they dry my skin out considerably. With this in mind I tasked my parents with buying me some shower gel in time for my next visit and gave them some quite strict instructions. I asked them to find one with pomegranate in it as this is definitely the fruit of the moment, not only in terms of it being very good for you to eat and drink but also a great ingredient in all manner of beauty products. When I turned up on my next visit they had achieved the task most successfully as there in my shower was a lovely looking bottle of Imperial Leather star flower and pomegranate shower cream.
Imperial Leather describe this as a richly moisturising shower cream and is a limited edition which will prepare you for a truly pampering experience sublime, combining beautiful fragrances with delicate pearls infused with moisturising jojoba oil. The sumptuous formulation will leave your skin feeling radiant and with a renewed sense of well being.
The shower cream looks beautiful I the bottom. It is a gorgeous pinky red colour and has a beautiful gold shimmer infused throughout it which makes it look very luxurious in my opinion. You can see the little jojoba beads too as they are a black colour and contract well against the pink. When you use this shower cream you can feel the beads popping against your skin and really moisturising it. A little bit of the shimmer stays on your body too and gives me a really nice glow. I love how this cream makes my skin feel after use, really quite soft.
In fact, according to the back of the bottle, star flower is known for its moisturising qualities along with pomegranate which is famed for restoring the skin keeping it soft and smooth while jojoba has been used for centuries as a natural aid to nourish the skin.
The smell is amazing too. I love the fruity smell of pomegranate anyway and the star flower adds a little bit of a different fragrance to it whilst still keeping a lovely fruity zing.
The shower cream comes in a 250ml bottle and is from Imperial Leather.

I kept the two main battery cables that connected to the main battery of the boat on the main battery. I run a positive off that battery to a post on the relay. I run a positive off the stereo battery to a post on the relay. I have a negative cable from one battery to the second battery. And one wire from the ignition switch to the relay......

Do I need to have one wire come off the alternator to the relay?
Nope, the alternator will be connected to your main battery which is already connected to the relay since you left the main cables the way they were. Sounds like you're all good to go.

Do you also have a ground wire run from the small post of the relay to one of the battery ground posts?
yes i have the ground wire from the relay to the ground post on a battery. forgot about that part.

Okay i was just making sure I had it hooked up correctly.
