I spent two weeks in Indonesia on a buying trip for the shop.
I went through some less-than-pleasant medical things.
I've been so busy with planning the wedding.
But now that the sun is out and I have more energy, I am going to try really hard to be back!
I'll try to come up with tutorials as often as possible.
So here's one that's not-so crafty and more-so homey.
Make-It-Yourself Environmentally Friendly Multi-surface Cleaner for cheap (like 2 dollars cheap):
|Notice how I changed it to "Em Works"? Yeah. Cause I'm witty like that.
So first off, you're going to need a spray bottle with a mist setting. I used the bottle that the expensive brand of all natural home cleaner came in... and I shall never go back to that stuff. If you need to buy a spray bottle, you can find them at the Dollar store or any gardening store.
Then you're going to need to collect your ingredients:
|Don't you just love my retro vinyl counter tops?
Hydrogen Peroxide- Safe to have around food, kills germs. Win. -$2 for the whole bottle. I also use it to whiten my teeth. Love this stuff.
White Vinegar- Kills germs. -$4 for the entire jug, so I used maybe 50 cents worth.
Essential Oil- Makes it smell better than just vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide. - This is the fancy stuff that I get directly from an organic plantation in Bali, but you can get essential oils for like $5 a bottle. My few drops would probably be about 10 cents worth.
All-natural dish soap- I have yet to figure out how to make my own. If anyone has a recipe, I would love to try it! - $3 for the whole bottle, so maybe 10 cents for the tiny squirts.
Now to mix it all together.
Squeeze a couple of squirts of the dish soap into the bottom of the spray bottle. Add a few drops of essential oil (the more you add, the more scent it will have. I don't mind the vinegary smell, so I only add a few drops per batch). Pour in about 2/3rds of a 500 ml bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide and then fill the rest with vinegar.
Shake shake shake. Shake shake shake. Shake your cleaner. Shake your cleeeeaaaaner.
Now you can use this on your kitchen counters, stove (especially nice since if you get it on your element burners it doesn't smell like death when you turn your stove on the next time), inside your microwave, on your bathroom surfaces, on the floor, on your glass coffee table, inside your fridge... the list goes on and on.
I spray this stuff all over my kitchen, leave it for a minute (especially if I have delicious dried-on gunk on the stove) and then go ahead and wipe it away. It seriously takes care of EVERYTHING.
When I have pans with crud burnt on to them, I dust a little bit of baking soda on them and then spray them with this, leave them over night, and the burnt crap all just lifts away.
It is my miracle. It makes cleaning the kitchen not a giant chore. It makes cleaning the bathroom not a giant chore. It makes cleaning not a giant chore.
So for around TWO DOLLARS for the entire bottle (which even with my addiction to the stuff lasts for like four months) you've got almost every cleaner you could ever possibly need.
Try it out and let me know how you like it!

Alpha Omicron Pi
- Details
- Category: Volume 86 (Fall 2014 - Spring 2015)
- Published: 10 September 2014
- Written by THE OUTLOOK
Alpha Omicron Pi would like to first and foremost extend our warmest welcome back to the students of Monmouth University!! Kicking off our 2nd full year here on campus, we are very much looking forward to returning to MU for a busy and fulfilling semester!
AOII really encourages all students at MU to immerse themselves into all that our school has to offer, because finding a home away from home while in college is not only an amazing and fun experience, it is essential to being able to flourish and grow as we grow up and enter the real world. The places and people you find and call home can and will create a life changing college experience!
Since our colonization in April of 2013, Alpha Omicron Pi has done just that. It has given our members the privilege to learn and grow as individuals and has provided a true home away from home experience. It has been an incredibly fulfilling year and a half for each and every one of our sisters-and we would love to share a few reasons why.
Sisters of AOII have taken advantage of leadership opportunities offered here on campus and beyond with the love and support of their sisters always behind them. Our members can be seen at Monmouth guiding freshman through their transition to college as New Student Orientation leaders, in the dorms as Resident Assistants, all over campus as MU Ambassadors, and throughout other campus organizations as members of the executive boards of MU clubs such as SAB, Student Government, Hawk TV & many more. We encourage all of our members to Exceed the Expectation, and we extend that to all students here at Monmouth as well. There is so much offered to students on campus (and even off campus) to help build leadership experience that will help you in the future. So jump right in, get involved, and make long lasting experiences!
In addition to our accomplishments as leaders in the community, our sisters are committed to the service of others. Our philanthropic efforts as an organization lie in part in our national philanthropy, Arthritis Research, for which we raised more than $2,000. We want all of you to take advantage of the volunteer opportunities out there because you really can make a big difference in the smallest of ways. Look out for our upcoming philanthropy events on campus this year to help you get involved!
The sisters of AOII are very grateful to be able to share a little bit about our experiences here at MU and what we as an organization have to offer, and we are so excited for this next year of opportunities to grow as individuals and as a chapter, and to finally kick things back into gear after a long and relaxing summer! We hope that all students and faculty take advantage of every opportunity that comes their way and make the best of the year to come!
And last, but certainly not least, GO HAWKS!!
Wishing everyone here at MU the best year yet,
Alpha Omicron Pi

Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images,
You guys, Rush Limbaugh has something to say.
The host discussed the widely talked-about racist chant video sung by University of Oklahoma's SAE fraternity on his show today, and argued that had Kanye West rapped the same words (which include racial slurs and reference lynching), it would become a chart-topper.
"If this had been a song by Kim Kardashian's husband and they had sung this song at the Grammys...it'd be a hit," he said, and then added after a colleague disagreed, "But I'm telling you this stuff gets awards and the people who sing it are portrayed as American royalty in terms of celebrity. You can't deny that."
Meanwhile, MSNBC's "Morning Joe" hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough echoed similar sentiments when they argued that rappers are to blame for chants like this occurring.
The duo first talked about rapper Waka Flocka Flame's "disgust" with the video and his decision to cancel his upcoming campus appearance before going into the discussion about rap music being the core issue for the frat's racist behavior.
"If you look at every single song, I guess you call these, that he's written, it's a bunch of garbage," Brzezinski said. "It's full of N-words, it's full of F-words. It's wrong. And he shouldn't be disgusted with them, he should be disgusted with himself."
"The kids that are buying hip-hop or gangster rap, it's a white audience, and they hear this over and over again," Scarborough added. "So do they hear this at home? Well, chances are good, no, they heard a lot of this from guys like this who are now acting shocked."
Brzezsinski later clarified her comments in another appearance on MSNBC by saying, "The students in the video are responsible for their behavior. And as we said on our show this morning, they did it, and it's beyond appalling. In no way is anybody else to blame for what they did on that bus. They are responsible and they made that choice."
Regardless, the hosts faced backlash for their comments on Twitter and sparked the satirical hashtag #RapAlbumsThatCausedSlavery:

The University of Oklahoma expelled two students who were accused of having a "leadership role" in Sigma Alpha Epsilon's racist chant video that leaked earlier this week.
One of the students issued an apology while the family of the other student released a statement on his behalf. Brody and Susan Pettit, parents of expelled student Levi Pettit, said in a statement to Dallas Morning News.
University of Oklahoma President David Boren released a statement on Twitter yesterday morning, saying the investigation into the video was continuing and that other students determined to have been part of the racist chant will face "appropriate disciplinary action."
"I have emphasized that there is zero tolerance for this kind of threatening racist behavior at the University of Oklahoma," Boren said. "I hope the entire nation will join us in having zero tolerance of such racism when it raises its ugly head in other situations across our country."

Helping in Vietnam for over a decade, the true successes of all our volunteer efforts and your generous donations are beginning emerge! Seeing the happiness and pride that providing safety, shelter, nourishment and education brings our FIV families is what Families in Vietnam is all about! Read just a few of our favorite success stories below.
University Entrance Exams!
Two more of our students graduated from high school and just took their University entrance exams. Waiting on their scores, and hoping for the best! Neither of these teens would have been able to obtain an education if not for your support. N. is now the second girl in her family to graduate from high school through our program. Her older sister (pictured below) is currently in Medical College!
- Over 70 children complete each school year through our program.
- Children are currently in foster care as an alternative to living on the streets or orphanage placement.
- Several children who missed the first few years of elementary school in order to sell postcards or beg to support their families are now in school with excellent attendance records.
- 3 former prostitutes and their children are finding hope for the future through access to education.
N is the first FIV child to make it to college!
N is doing well in medical college! She did so well last year that she received a full scholarship this year. Her family lives in rural Thanh Hoa province and was extremely poor until we started enabling them by paying school fees, buying them a water buffalo, and installing a well for their small farm. N is the first child in our program to attend college!!! This success story would have been impossible without the generous support of her sponsors.
Mother: L. Sons: Q.A. and Q.L.
L. used to peddle to tourists in Hanoi with no support system nearby. She worked all day and long into the evening, and didn't have time to take care of her sons, so she sent them to live with her mother in the countryside. Unfortunately, their grandmother didn't approve of her lifestyle, because she was an unwed mother, and favored her other daughter over L. Therefore, she was not kind to her grandsons, Q.A. and Q.L. The boys were malnourished and would often be locked out of the house.
When FIV board member, Christen, visited, she discovered that the boys were having to sleep in "the duck room," a small room in the house where the family kept their ducks and other fowl. The sanitary conditions were deplorable and the smell you could only imagine.
FIV was able to rent a small house for L. in the countryside, and helped her to secure a steady job. Three years later, L. is able to raise her boys in a safe countryside area, out of the slums of Hanoi. She is no longer peddling. Q.A. has outstanding grades, and was ranked second in his class. Q.L. has average grades.
The boys were thrilled when FIV purchased a study table, lamp and calculator for them, as they value their studies but had no place (except miniature stools) to do their schoolwork. The second photo shows the family just after their new desk was delivered, and the boys are beaming. FIV continues to pay the boy's school fees and provides monthly family support in order to ensure that L. is able to care for her boys sufficiently.

Found crayons in my cigarette pack. I can't help but feel you may be responcible.
My suggestion that we all just smoke some weed was greeted with a uncomfrotable silence and a 'maybe later'. These are not our people
1.) You left the rest of your whiskey here 2.) I drank your whiskey 3.) then made a steam roller out of the bottle 4.) Everything tastes like whiskey

Ohio St.-Northwestern Preview
For Ohio State to have any legitimate chance of reaching the
Final Four, Jared Sullinger must re-emerge as the go-to player he's
been most of his two seasons.
Northwestern's chances of simply reaching the NCAA tournament
for the first time in school history could hinge on keeping the
preseason All-American in his recent funk.
The 10th-ranked Buckeyes try to set up a weekend showdown for
the Big Ten title and avoid being a large notch in the Wildcats'
belt Wednesday night when the teams play at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
Ohio State (23-6, 11-5) can still claim a share of the
conference title if it wins this game and its regular-season finale
Sunday at No. 5 Michigan State. For that to happen, though, the
Buckeyes must get Sullinger – averaging 16.8 points and 8.9
rebounds – back on track.
The sophomore has been the target of physical double- and
triple-teams in recent games as Ohio State has lost three of five.
Sullinger has been held in single digits in consecutive games for
the first time in his career after scoring eight points in Sunday's
63-60 home loss to then-No. 16 Wisconsin.
He missed a portion of the second half after cramping up, and
coach Thad Matta is trying to make the needed adjustments to get
Sullinger rolling again.
"The physicality of it is a great challenge and a statement of
the progress with ball movement," Matta said, noting he may tweak
the offense in hopes of "placing him in different places will help
him a little bit."
Northwestern (17-11, 7-9) has good reason to worry about
Sullinger, who has averaged 19.3 points and 13.3 rebounds while
shooting 25 of 33 in three games against the Wildcats.
"We don't have anyone to stop Sullinger in the low post," coach
Bill Carmody said. "Do you double him? He's a good passer, and they
have other guys. They have a nice team all around and I'm not sure
what our game plan will be.
"It starts with Sullinger and we'll have to figure out what to
do with that guy. I'm not thinking about the offense as much as how
we're going to stop that guy."
While this is the third straight season Northwestern has played
itself onto the bubble for the NCAA tournament, a second win over a
top 10 opponent may be the missing piece that puts it in the field.
It is that opportunity Carmody relishes in the season's final
"I'm glad we're in the discussion, that's good for us," said
Carmody, whose team is 1-6 against ranked teams. "There aren't any
easy games. We're playing Ohio State, who's ranked and then Iowa,
who's gotten so much better. It's just very, very hard. You're
zeroing in on right now."
The Wildcats' chances for success may require a dominant effort
from John Shurna on both ends of the floor. Already the school's
all-time leading scorer and the Big Ten's leader this season at
20.1 points per game, the 6-foot-9 Shurna will be manning the
middle of Northwestern's zone defense – and giving up 45 pounds to
Sullinger – due to the ankle injury that has sidelined 6-11 Luka
Mirkovic for over a month.
Shurna matched a season high with five blocks Saturday at Penn
State, where his two free throws with 2.6 seconds left provided the
winning points in a 67-66 victory. Ohio State did a good job
neutralizing Shurna in an 87-54 rout on Dec. 28, limiting the
senior to 11 points on 5-of-18 shooting after he had scored 45
points while making 14 of 23 shots in his previous two games versus
the Buckeyes.
Ohio State has won five straight between the teams since a 72-69
loss at Northwestern on Feb. 18, 2009, and 22 of 23 overall.

"Fantastic maternity unit"
About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Gateshead) Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Gateshead) Gateshead NE9 6SX
Posted via NHS Choices
i can not thank the maternity staff enough for the job they do. I have had experience of PAU, antenatal, labour ward and postnatal throughout my pregnancy and the birth of my baby boy. Every member of staff from midwives to HCAs and domestic staff was professional, friendly and supportive. I was cared for extremely well and included in all decisions made about my care. The service was extremely busy but the staff kept me informed as to what was happening at all times. Thoroughly recommend the unit.
Response from Queen Elizabeth Hospital 2 years ago
That's great to hear. Thanks for taking the time to feedback on the service you received at Gateshead. We will pass on these comments to the team working in maternity.

We've been going through a pretty rough time with our church of late. We are looking for a new pastor, and it has caused some tension between members of the congregation. On top of that, I personally have had many tearful days. Some of my own bringing, and some because of situations I have no control over. My mom gave me a new Bible for Christmas. It's a Womens Devotional Bible and I love it. It has some really great, shortish, devotionals in it. They start in Genesis and go through the entire Bible. I won't read the entire Bible in doing these devotionals, but a good portion of it I'm sure. Anyhow.. that being said, I had this Bible with me at church on Sunday. In the evening I had a lot of things running through my mind and was having a difficult time concentrating. I began to flip through my Bible looking for those devotional sections. One caught my eye because it had an inset section, obviously a lengthy quote from something. So I read it. I almost started to cry. It's amazing how God puts things like that right there for us to grab a hold of right when we need it. It was a poem from Amy Carmichael. I don't know the title, but here is the poem.
"Our Father knows what's best for us, so why should we complain?
We always want the sunshine, but he knows there must be rain.
We love the sound of laughter and the merriment of cheer,
But our hearts would lose their tenderness if we never shed a tear.
For growing trees are strengthened when they withstand the storm
And the sharp cut of the chisel gives the diamond grace and form.
God never hurts us needlessly, and he never wastes our pain.
For every loss he sends to us is followed by rich gain.
And when we count the blessings that God so freely sent,
We'll find no cause for murmuring and no time to lament.
For our Father loves his children, and to him all things are plain.
So he never sends us pleasure when the souls deep need is pain.
So whenever we are troubled and when everything goes wrong,
We know God's working in our hearts to make our spirit strong."
I've nothing more to say. Ms. Carmichael has said it all.

Women not satisfied with financial plans
In our recent on-line poll 75% of participating women indicated they are not satisfied with their financial plan and indicated they need help re-thinking their financial future.
Back in 1998 when I started Garden State Woman we found that women generally were not nearly as involved as they should be in planning and managing their personal and family finances. It doesn't look like much has changed in the past 12 years.
We at Garden State Woman are thinking through various ways we might help women take much greater control of their financial futures. Stay tuned.

Fedora usually plays well
You say you are connecting wired to the router with the Fedora machine? That usually is set up with the installation of the Fedora distribution. If it's not working, I'd check a couple of things. First, see if your ethernet interface is up (`ifconfig`), if it is, check to see if you can ping an IP address. If you cannot ping your router's IP address, perhaps you do not have the route set in the box. You can check this with the `route -n` command -- you don't have to use the "n" switch, but I prefer to. This should show you your gateway address. The format looks like:
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
That line means that all traffic not already specified (0.0.0.0) will pass to 192.168.1.1, the default gateway (UG) on your first ethernet interface. If you can ping an IP address, but not a DNS name, you need to check your resolver. The file is "/etc/resolv.conf" and should have a line similar to the following:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
This says to use your gateway as the DNS server. If none of this works, perhaps you are connected to eth1 instead of eth0? Or perhaps the module isn't loaded (it doesn't show up in `ifconfig` at all). In this case, you will need to know the type of NIC you have and load the appropriate module before you can bring the interface online. Also, the commands I have in tick marks should be typed in the terminal.
How's that?
How does one "log on to the Internet"? Try using a wireless card though in your fedora.
It could be that your wireless router is setup to be a wireless AP only and not a NAT router sort of thingy. You may have to register the wireless router's MAC address to the ISP...etc. There could be several issues. Check the IP your Fedora is getting (cmd line, ifconfig). Need more info maynard!

I do love photography and I'm into photo manipulation and such, but alas my artistic skills are severely lacking, if you asked me to draw a stickman, I would heed a reference I think! :icon_confused: I have found myself being tasked with more marketing projects that do require a little knowledge into graphic design and printing business, and I have a genuine interest in learning more, which will obviously carry me forward in my own career plans be it not an actual graphic designer. Hope to learn a lot, and hopefully not annoy you all with too many questions! yous seem to have an active and friendly community, so decided where better to start!

Secrets of Success
Cosplay stuff again...
Tuesday, May 04, 2010
And I've decided that I really want to cosplay...CUTIE HONEY! :P
^_^;; Definately need to start sticking to my diet again for that one, you know? Lose another 25 lbs...
Oh man, body suits...scary stuff, people 0_0
Actually, I'm half tempted just to go for it now (I am feeling pretty confident lately...possibly overconfident), but I don't know...maybe there's a way I could make modifications to the costume so that it wouldn't be so horrible on me? The part I'm most worried about is actually my arms...I don't so much like having them and their pastey flabiness uncovered...I really should start using that Dove sunless tanning lotion again, that would probably help a lot ^_^;; Tan flab is a lot more attractive than bright white flab, if you ask me.
Well, on the other hand, there are a couple of good things that I'm thinking, anyway: at least (in this version of her costume) her mid section is covered, and at least I do have the boobs and the hour glass figure for it (which most really thin girls don't have - er, naturally, anyway).
I might have to make the bodysuit myself to make sure that it really works for me, and that there's enough support in the chest area (or maybe I could take an existing bodysuit and modify it?). I'd also be sure to be wearing high heel boots (high heels always help your figure ^_^).
Anyway, this is all because I just recently got into Cutie Honey ^_^ It's one of those things I was always kind of hesitant about renting ('cuz it looks kind of perverted, which it is). But about a year ago I got the live action movie from Big Lots for $3 (never really watched it until a couple days ago, though), and recently I've started renting the anime DVDs from Netflix....and I love it! It's like an increadibly inappropriate 1980s Saturday morning cartoon show...it's really campy, but the storyline isn't really as thin as you would suspect...I think it's just GREAT (I have weird tastes, I guess).

Obama, Hu vow to continue to strengthen partnership
BEIJING -- President Obama and his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao, emerged from two hours of talks Tuesday morning pledging to continue efforts to strengthen the growing partnership between the two countries, and to work together to address global challenges such as climate change, nuclear proliferation and sustaining the world's nascent economic recovery.
Hu, speaking first, called the talks "candid, constructive and very fruitful," and said the two leaders agreed "to stay in close touch, through visits, telephone conversations, correspondence, and meetings at international forums."
He also said that as the world economy "has shown some positive signs of stabilizing and recovering," it is important for both countries to "oppose and reject protectionism in all its forms."
Obama also called climate change and nuclear proliferation "challenges that neither of our nations can solve by acting alone." He said the two will continue to "build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive relationship."
Confronting the sensitive issue of human rights, Obama said American values of freedom of speech and assembly are "universal rights, and they should be made available to all people." He said the two sides agreed to "continue to move this discussion forward," specifically in an upcoming human rights dialogue next year.
Obama said the two sides agreed to seek a "more balanced economic growth" in the future, in which the United States "saves more, spends less and reduced long-term debt." In exchange, he said, China agreed to increase its domestic demand, meaning relying less on its cheap currency to drive exports. The United States is now China's most important export market, while China is the largest holder of U.S. debt.
"This will lead to increased U.S. exports and jobs on the one hand, and higher living standards in China on the other," Obama said.
On climate change, Obama said the two leaders agreed on "a series of important new initiatives," including the establishment of a joint clean energy research center. Obama said that "there can be no solution to that challenge without the efforts of both China and the United States."
The two leaders took no questions, as had been planned, after their statements.
"I'm very happy to have talks with you," Hu told Obama at the start of the meeting. "You have worked actively to promote this relationship."
Obama replied, "We believe strong dialogue is important not only for the U.S. and China, but for the rest of the world."
The two already met once over dinner Monday night, shortly after Obama arrived in the frigid Chinese capital from Shanghai. National security adviser James L. Jones described that meeting between as an "informal dinner discussion" in which the two leaders discussed "the evolution and histories of China and the United States."

Posted on 09/28/2009 7:41:58 PM PDT by Hanna548
Announcing a new contest to come up with 10 verses for our own Obama Song, not to be sung by children, but to be clean enough for children. The verses can be serious or funny, but they should reference Obama, his Administration, Policies or Actions.
Suggested topics: Health Care, Gun Control, Czars, Background, Foreign Policy, Spending, ACORN...
This is the format for the verses: Barack Hussein Obama (your verse) Hmm Hmm Hmm
Go here to enter: http://barackhusseinobamahmmhmmhmm.blogspot.com/
Spread it around and join in, lets keep up the dialog.
Cuz My Mama ain't for Obama
Battle Hymn of the Obama Nation
Hey there, Mr. President,
you are number one!
Flowers spring from your footsteps,
and you make the world more fun!
You will crush your right-wing enemies
and tax them when your done!
Your change is marching on.....
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Your change is marching on.
Hey there Mr. President,
You're best and number one!
We know you went to Harvard,
So compared to you, were dumb!
You can save us from recession,
Keep on spending til its done!
Your change is marching on..
Obama has a plan for peace,
He'll melt down all our guns!
The terrorists will love us,
once they see that we have none!
He'll seize the cash from rich folks,
and we hope he gives us some!
His change is marching on... (refrain)
On the savannah of rural Kenya, He was born across the sea
With an agenda in his bosom, that brings healthcare to you and me
As we live to pay our taxes, its racist to disagree
His change is marching on...
Thats great, but thats a whole song. We need just litle verses that will fit into the format like this:
Barack Hussein Obama, he's such a sneaky, slimy guy, no wonder Wilson yelled 'YOU LIE!' hmm hmm hmm
Here is the link to submit verses:
It said "song contest" not "snippet of song" or "one line of a song" contest.
Zero loves the little children
All the children in our schools
Red and yellow, black and white
Future voters in his sight
Zero loves the little children in our schools
"OK, now everybody, let's sing it together, on the count of three." "Alright! I like dat!" "One, two, three . . ."
Tune: "Mmm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama" (at 0:33)
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Obamassiah
He said our children we must raise
To trust his name and sing his praise
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Obamassiah
He said he wants to spread the wealth
And now he wants to run our health
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Obamassiah
He said we hate him 'cause he's black
His Marxist plans we thus attack
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Obamassiah
He said we got all wee-weed up
Do not disturb, do not disrupt!
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Obamassiah
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Obamassiah
"OK, now let's do the song, everybody together. One, two, three . . ."
Tune: "Hello, Mr. President" (at 1:26)
All hail, Glorious Emperor, we come to worship you!
Our school has now become your church, and every desk a pew
All hail, Glorious Emperor, we really think you're great!
Our teachers fill our skulls of mush, it's called "Indoctrinate"
All hail, Glorious Emperor, we praise your holy name!
Our teachers make us wash our hands, and then they wash our brain
All hail, Glorious Emperor, we lift our hands in praise!
Our teachers hope you'll follow through and give them all a raise
So we praise you, Glorious Emperor, there's nothing more to say . . .
If we don't sing this crummy song, they won't give us an "A"!
Heres a little song I wrote
ya might wanna sing it note for note
Dont worry, be happy
Sung to the tune of Oh! Susanna, dont you cry for me. .... Oh, no Bama, please dont lie to me... for Im off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.
I come from Minnesota with my laptop on my knee; | Im goin to Free Republic my true love for to see. | It rained all night the day you left, | the weather it was dry; | The sun so hot you froze to death, | Obama dont you lie. | | Oh! No Bama, dont you lie to me; | I come from Minnesota, with my laptop on my knee.
I had a dream the other night, | When everything was still; | I thought I saw Obama dear, | A-coming for The Hill. | The smearing lie was in Duluth, | The croc tear in his eye, | Said I, Im coming for the truth | Obama dont you lie. | | Oh! No Bama, dont you lie to me; | Im off to Free Republic, | with my laptop on my knee.
I fight in my pajamas, | Its plain for all to see. | I aim to be the next Buckhead; | The media all hate me. | I fell in love with Sarah | When my sister bit a moose. | The Guvnors family ate it up | And then they set it loose. | | Oh! No Bama, dont you lie to me; | Im off to Free Republic, | with my laptop on my knee.
She loves her sons, she likes her guns, | and Triggernometry. | The media will jump the shark | When she makes history. | Well, JimRob knows shell pave the trolls | So controversially, | And Berg will knock Obama down | With friends of Hillary. | | Oh! No Bama, dont you lie to me; | Im off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.
I soon will be in Hawaii, | And then Ill look all round, | And when I find his birth record, | Ill fall upon the ground. | But if I do not find it, | This Freeperll surely die, | And when Im dead and buried, | Obama dont you lie. | | Oh! No Bama, dont you cry for me; | Im off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.

Here's one I did before the election. Doesn't follow the rules but kinda catchy.
I see what you are saying but if you go to the website and see what it is all about you will see that it is people creating a song together. I can't explain every aspect of the thing in a simple promotional posting. If I could I wouldn't need the website. I could possibly have worded it better however, but hey I am just a nobody trying to help the cause and have a little fun at the same time.
That is horrible and very good at the same time:)
I am getting so many whole songs, I am going to make up a 2nd web page to display them. These are too good:)
With permission of course:)
It could be worse. Try substituting 'Barack Hussein Obama' with 'Hillary Rodham Clinton' to find out how much worse.

The Natural History of the Chicken | 1999
Jump to
Devillier Donegan Enterprises
Mark Lewis Radio Pictures
A quirky portrait celebrating the virtue and valor of some common chickens. While we do learn that Americans are gobbling up more poultry than other types of meat these days (about 80lbs. per person per year), we also witness inspirational tales of chickens with an incredible will to survive--from Valerie, a frozen chicken who was lovingly revived with mouth to beak resuscitation--to "Miracle Mike" the 1940's side show attraction who lived 2 1/2 years after his beheading (much to the dismay of animal activists). Lewis explores the invincible nature of chickens and their varied relationships with humans, as we travel from a farm where free range chickens move from hatchery, to friend, to dinner table--to Florida where a fancy white French chicken is an adored pet who is bathed and primped regularly by her doting "mommy".

We have provided coordination, management and engineering analysis for the geotechnical aspects of the LNG facility for the front end engineering design phase of the project. In other words, we're helping to identify the basic scope of the facility and determine an appropriate site layout.
The land-based portion of the LNG terminal will cover 40 hectares in steep and mountainous terrain, requiring significant re-grading to provide level areas to build storage tanks, process facilities and administration buildings. The offshore facilities include an offload jetty for the LNG Tankers, a construction wharf and a temporary conveyor system to off load aggregate from the site.
A key consideration for the proposed layout is to locate the LNG tanks on competent bedrock or soil so the tanks would not be at risk in an earthquake. Work included an extensive subsurface investigation, seismic modeling, rock stability and slope stability assessments. We've provided foundations recommendations for two proposed 80-metre diameter storage tanks and supporting infrastructure. Several geohazard assessments were completed for the access road and utility corridors being designed from Kitimat to the site.

Songbyrd Presents:
Wildhoney, Kid Claws
Songbyrd Music House
2477 18th St. NW
Washington, DC, 20009
Doors 7:30 PM
This event is all ages
Watch & Listen
Formed in 2013 in Los Angeles, Froth first garnered attention with their debut LP, 'Patterns.' Originally intended as a small-run cassette release, the album quickly became an underground sensation in the Southern California music scene, catapulting the band to local fame and prompting a vinyl re-release in 2014.
2015 saw the release of the band's sophomore album, 'Bleak.' A more dynamic, adventurous effort, the record matches lush shoegaze soundscapes with driving krautrock beats. Froth toured extensively across the U.S. and Europe in support of the album, opening for acts such as The Drums, Tamaryn, Pond and Craft Spells.
After signing with Wichita Records in 2016, Froth is set to share their third album, 'Outside (briefly),' on February 10, 2017. This time around, the band has dialed back the noise, revealing delicately beautiful melodies, intricately arranged instrumentals and some of their most experimental songwriting to date.
Wildhoney formed in late 2011, aiming to write pop songs with the energy and malcontent of hardcore punk, but without its entrenched masculinity. The five-piece has since become one of the loudest—and sweetest—bands in its hometown of Baltimore.
'Sleep Through It' expands on two excellent 7-inches and one cassette EP, drawing influences from '60s girl groups, '80s post punk, indie pop, and shoegaze. Throughout the album, the group's blasts of distortion and use of dense textures are balanced with beautiful pop tunes and chiming guitar work. Sleep Through It was recorded at Beat Babies Studio in Woodstock, Md., with Chris Freeland (Lower Dens, Wye Oak).

Guilty, conman who murdered lonely 'posh totty' millionairess
A CONMAN is facing life in jail after being found guilty yesterday of the murder of a lonely millionairess who became an escort to "look for love".
Oil executive Carole Waugh, 49, met her killer, gambling addict Rakesh Bhayani, through an internet site where she advertised herself as "posh fun totty".
Bhayani, 41, killed her in the bedroom of her £650,000 flat in Marylebone, central London.
The Old Bailey had heard that after murdering her – probably by stabbing her in the neck – the married killer "celebrated" by splashing out on "expensive girls, luxury hotel rooms and casinos".
He had been released from jail only six weeks earlier after an unrelated fraud.
Once Ms Waugh was dead he and associate Nicholas Kutner, 48, "systematically took all her worldly goods" and plotted to empty her bank accounts.
Using a team of women recruited to impersonate Waugh, they used her cash to buy large amounts of gold bullion, Krugerrands, gold coins and designer handbags.
She seemed to have been lonely and looking for love
The court was told Ms Waugh, who had worked in Libya and once boasted of being friends with Colonel Gaddafi, moonlighted as an amateur escort, promising a "true girlfriend experience" and "good clean adult fun".
The court was told she seemed more interested in meeting men for company than for money. Patrick Gibb QC, prosecuting, said: "She seemed to have been lonely and looking for love.
"She was a Walter Mitty character with rather fanciful notions of herself. She was prone to exaggeration about her job in the past and in the future. It was to disguise some of the disappointments in her life."
She and Bhayani began a relationship and soon she lent him £40,000. Mr Gibb said that "knowing she had money and wanting it, he planned that she should die".
When she demanded it back, he killed her and then stuffed her body into a holdall and hid it in the boot of a car he and Kutner left in a lock-up garage in New Malden, south London.
Her decomposing remains were discovered more than three months later, in August 2012. Bhayani admitted hiding her body but denied killing her. But a jury convicted him yesterday.
Kutner was cleared of murder but found guilty of his part in concealing the body. The pair had already admitted conspiracy to defraud Ms Waugh.
A third man, Elie Khoury, 40, walked free after being cleared of one count conspiracy to defraud.
Bhayani and Kutner will sentenced today.

What is CFIDS? (the "official" version)October 18, 2013
What is CFIDS???
Chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), is widely recognized in adults. But it's not as well known that children and adolescents can get CFIDS.
Because young people are different from adults in nearly every dimension – physically, emotionally, socially, etc. – recognition of the disease in young people can be difficult. For example, rather than saying their child is "fatigued," parents might say that the child is always sleepy, grumpy or can't keep up with other children in school or at play.
The symptoms of children and adolescents with CFIDS are similar to those of adults: debilitating fatigue, substantial impairment of short-term memory and/or concentration, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, muscle pain, multi-joint pain, headaches, unrefreshing sleep and post-exertional fatigue.
CFIDS affects every aspect of a person's life. Many young people with CFIDS must be home-schooled, because they are too ill to attend class every day. This can result in deficits not only in education, but also in social development at a very critical age. It's important to remember that nearly everything a young person does will influence his or her life as an adult.
The first step in treating children with CFIDS is making the diagnosis. There is a great body of knowledge available about how children cope with chronic illness. Identifying a reason for their poor health will help them cope with it in an emotionally healthier way.
Your assistance is critical to solving the mystery of CFIDS. Medical research provides the best hope for the futures of CFIDS patients of all ages. The Solve ME/CFS Initiative is committed to accelerating and improving CFIDS research. Like all charities, the Association depends upon public contributions to keep its critical work going. Please do what you can to ensure that scientific advances are quick and effective, so the next generation of young people will not be burdened by this chronic, disabling disease.

I'm on a drinking/binge right now. Didn't really want to
I'm on a drinking/binge right now. Didn't really want to be but certain factors came into play. My sister mainly being always the one. Because I wanted three pieces of cheese on my burger, she HAD to say something. Luckily my dad said something to her but she just made an excuse. As always. Luckily my mom and I had a talk beforehand and I expressed to her my feelings about my sister being maid of honor and how I feel she doesn't love me and how her demonic spirit runs their house and by golly she understood!! Lolz!! So I'm not the only one in pain. Well I'm practically killing myself because of her but I'm trying not too. BUT I DID STAND UP TO THAT WITCH AND IT FELT GOOD!! So now I'm on a cookie binge and getting drunk so I can puke it up sooner rather than later. Dave my best friend, husband to be, etc, has to go out on road jobs for his jobs and can't do yard jobs for the railroad. I've accepted his job as best as I can but it still hurts. That's the other reason. I miss him when he's gone. Guess ill just have to stay strong.
[2920]Jun 18, 2013
Thanks Hoopster1! I've learned this the very hard way, drinking to the point of drunkeness does NOT take away the problems. Only WE can do that, WITH God's help I believe very much! We, you see, are flesh and blood humans, and weak. BUT, with God we can be strong!!!!When the alcohol was gone from my system the next day, I was shakey, and sick the entire day.
I've learned (for me) that I can handle one beer or glass of wine, but I HAVE to stay away from any hard licquor at all!
It took me 5 years of binge drinking (because of the pains of life...husband's infidelity, job losses, etc.) But know what, when I did go to an AA meeting or two, a lady told me, "all the whiskey in the city will not take your problems away". How true indeed!
I hope everyone reading this can come to know this. But YOU can make your life better. Start with knowing how much God loves You.
Plus, it ruins your health. Puts weight on. I know. Working on getting stronger, exercising, eating good, etc.
Good Luck to Everyone~~~~

November 2010
30 Nov 2010. Cape Town Talk. The feedback presentation was given to a group of approximately 200 people. Etienne & Anne-Marie Bruwer and Lizette Jenkins are thanked for their support in arranging the event. Hannes Lochner is thanked for a donation of R 5000 that was generated from the sales of his latest photographic book (see link). Adolf Huester sponsored the flight to Cape Town and 500 Desert Lion stickers that were handed out at the venue. Many individuals, in particular: Eden Human (Die Burger), Drs. Freddie Senekal & Nathanie Naude (in-kind support & donations), Bernd & Frauke Sander, Elzette du Preez (De Grendel wine estate) & Stephanus du Plessis (computer support), went out of their way to assist and support the project.
|Adolf Huester, Etienne & Anne-Marie Bruwer and Pieter Meiring (photo: Eden Human)
|Opening slide of presentation
25 Nov 2010. Damaged GPS collar. The GPS radio collar fitted to Xpl-20 at Hobatere on 24 April 2010 (photos below left: 1, 2 & 3 by Sean Braine) was damaged badly when it was removed from the lion after he was shot on 6 Oct 2010. Followit, the supplier of the GPS collar, evaluated the damage (photo far right) and concluded that it must be returned to them in Sweden. Repairs to the collar will amount to € 893 (excluding the courier costs).
23 Nov 2010. Presentations. Field work was stopped to have repairs done to the Land Cruiser and to prepare for two presentations on the Desert Lion Project. The first will take place in Cape Town on 27 Nov 2010 (to give feedback on the fundraiser that was held in February 2010) and the second in Swakomund on 4 Dec 2010. Updates to this web site will therefore be less frequent during the next few weeks.
22 Nov 2010. Hobatere male. The trophy hunting of Xpl-20, the Hobatere male, on 6 Oct 2010 has generated a lot of public interest. Even though it appears that there was a legal permit, the shooting of Xpl-20, an important attraction to tourist visiting Namibia for more than five years, has been criticised widely. The hunters apparently claim that the collar was not visible, yet the photo (bottom left) taken by Dieter Risse on 3 Oct 2010, clearly shows the collar. Xpl-20 was born in Aug 2000. He was first radio-collared on 10 Dec 2001 and his life-time home range was 4,251 sqr km (map - central). Large numbers of tourists visited Hobatere Lodge during the period of Xpl-20's reign (graph - far right). The statistics also revealed that Xpl-20 was observed and photographed by 8,369 tourists.
21 Nov 2010. Mobile. With advise from JB Auto Repairs and Adolf Huester, the electrical problems with the Land Cruiser were repaired. The exhaust on the vehicle has started disintegrating. It has been welded and repaired many times and needs to be replaced. Observations on the lions had to be stopped because of the noise generated by the faulty exhaust. A rare sighting of two honey badgers was enjoyed near the Hunkap River.
20 Nov 2010. Xpl-56. All available options to find Xpl-56 (see left & middle photos below - taken shortly before leaving his natal Hoanib Floodplain Pride) have been exhausted. The Hoanib Floodplain lionesses, accompanied by Xpl-73 ("Rosh" - photo on right), are still in the dune area near Mowe Bay.
19 Nov 2010. No excuses. An effort was made yesterday to give a balanced view of the problems and realities surrounding the conflict between people and lions. However, the possibility that Xpl-56 was killed and the satellite collar destroyed is a serious problem that cannot be justified or excused by the comments made. During ongoing the efforts to locate Xpl-56, the rest of the Hoanib Floodplain lions, including Xpl73 "Rosh", were located crossing the dunes to Mowe Bay. The Land Cruiser developed electrical and mechanical problems due to the rough conditions. With assistance (via email) from the Land Cruiser Club of SA, the problems are being attended to.
18 Nov 2010. People & Lions. Desert-adapted lions are important to tourism in Namibia. Because of the unique and spectacular landscapes in which they live, the lions attract many foreign tourists to Namibia. Whilst these lions may be an attraction to tourists, the rural communities that share their land with the lions, do not view them that favourably. The owners of livestock may suffer losses when lions prey on cattle or donkeys, and many people, especially those in the smaller and remote villages, live in fear of the lions. Despite progressive community-based conservation programmes and financial benefits from the tourism industry going into the communal conservancy structure, the people in remote villages and the individual livestock farmer still regard wildlife resources, such as lions, as a nuisance. This background information may partially explain the killing on the young lioness (Xpl-58) and the unresolved case of the Hoanib Floodplain male (Xpl-56). Extensive efforts and resources have been dedicated to finding out what happened to Xpl-56. An accurate movement animation is presented below of Xpl-56 (red dot) for the last 5 days before he disappeared. Xpl-56 was in the company of Xpl-72 (blue dot) of the Hoanib 70's group. Immediately after the satellite GPS collar of Xpl-56 stopped working, the 70's lionesses rapidly vacated the area. Although there is no conclusive evidence, the most logical hypothesis is that the lion was killed and that the satellite collar was destroyed. The route that was walked to search for Xpl-56 in the narrow gorges and caves is shown on the satellite map (top right).
17 Nov 2010. Difficult situation. Despite any concrete evidence (as of yet) all the available information suggest that the Hoanib Floodplain male (Xpl-56) was shot or poisoned by local farmers in the eastern section of the Purros Conservancy. More thunder storms and rain in the area hampered the investigation. Peter Sander, Detlef Klein (& freinds) from Swakopmund visited the area with two small aircraft and Detlef Klein kindly assisted with aerial radio tracking of Xpl-56. Despite these efforts, the lion could not be located. There are currently three possible explanations: 1) there was a total malfunction of the satellite GPS collar and that the lion is still alive (highly unlikely), 2) the lion was poisoned, trapped or shot and died in a cave (possible, but given the extensive search efforts, also unlikely), and 3) the lion was killed and the satellite GPS collar destroyed (a disturbing hypothesis, but currently the most realistic explanation). Note: the dates quoted on 16 Nov 2010 were wrong and have been corrected.
16 Nov 2010. Possible death of another male lion. The likelihood that the Hoanib Floodplain male lion was killed is high. On 3 Nov 2010 his satellite GPS collar stopped sending data to the Televilt server in Sweden. At first there was not much concern, because lions occasionally move into caves or enclosed areas where the collar does not have a clear enough view of the sky to connect to satellites. The data downloaded yesterday form Xpl-72's GPS collar provided valuable additional information. As luck would have it, Xpl-56 was with the 70's lionesses when the last position was recorded at 05h00 on 3 Nov 2010, a few kilometres from a village where there are large numbers of livestock. During two meetings with the residents of the village, they confirmed that a lion has not been shot or killed. Many hours were spent walking in the mountains, through narrow gorges and into caves, searching for Xpl-56, or any signs of what might have happened. Unfortunately the rainfall of last night covered most of the tracks and complicated the search.
14/15 Nov 2010. Concern at Okongwe. During the past two days the humidity increased, clouds started building from early afternoon and the first rain storms of the season were encountered near Okongwe. The satellite GPS collar of the young male (Xpl-56, of the Hoanib Floodplain Pride) stopped sending emails a few days ago. Efforts are underway to locate him. He joined the Hoanib 70's group in the northern section of the Okongwe area a few weeks ago. The "70's" (Xpl-70, 71 & 72) were located at sundown, but Xpl-56 was not with them.
13 Nov 2010. Dart Xpl-61. The young Hoaruseb lioness ("Maya") was darted this evening and her broken radio collar was replaced. This was the first darting where the new sound system and the new Dan-inject dart gun (donated by the Holder family - 8 Oct 2010) was used. Wilderness Safaris staff from Skeleton Coast Camp assisted with the event.
12 Nov 2010. Hoaruseb. Efforts are underway to locate the Hoaruseb Pride. The young lioness (Xpl-61, "Maya") needs to be darted to replace her radio collar. During the recent visit by the Land Cruiser Club of Southern Africa, Mr Jan Slabber donated to the Project a special devise he designed using the blade of a plough - it functions as a base-plate when the vehicle needs to be jacked-up in soft sand or mud (see Sponsors). The devise was used to great success yesterday when the Land Cruiser got bogged-down in the dunes (photos: far right by E Verwey).
11 Nov 2010. Surprise movements. The Hoanib Floodplain lions and the male, Xpl-73, were left amongst the dunes near the Hoanib mouth on 2/3 Nov 2010 to go and investigate the shooting of the Hobatere male (Xpl-20). When arriving back in the area late on 8 Nov 2010, the same lions were found near Auses Spring. However, during the trip down the Hoanib River, the tracks of an adult male was picked-up at several locations. When Xpl-73 was found to still be with the Floodplain pride, the need to search for the "unknown" male in the Hoanib River became a priority. Shortly before embarking on this mission, the position data were downloaded from the GPS collars of both Xpl-10 and Xpl-73. The results reveal a shocking surprise and once again demonstrate the incredible value of the GPS collars. To view a movement animation of the results click the play button (bottom left) - the blue icon displays the movements of Xpl-10 and the red icon is Xpl-73.
10 Nov 2010. Auses Spring. The Hoanib Floodplain lions were located at Auses Spring last night. At sunrise they moved over the dunes onto the floodplain. After the fog cleared, the lionesses started hunting and Xpl-10 killed a springbok. The male (Xpl-73) stole the carcass, but not after some resistance from Xpl-10.
9 Nov 2010. Hoanib lion killed. The young lioness (Xpl-58) of the Hoanib Pride has been killed. Presumably because of raiding livestock - although there has not been any reports of lion problems in this area. On return from Hobatere late last night, the radio signal of Xpl-58 was picked-up. Early this morning it was confirmed that she had been killed by people, approximately 4 km east of Elephant Song campsite in the Hoanib River. The tracks indicate that she took refuge in a dense Salvadora bush (photo: bottom left) where she was killed. Xpl-57 (the sister of Xpl-58) is still alive and was found near Elephant Song campsite. Repairs and upgrading of the two water installations in the Hoanib River (at the Ganamub Poort & the Mudorib junction) have been completed. The Ministry of Environment & Tourism must be commended for a job well done (photos below).
8 Nov 2010. Clarification. Because of unfair and uninformed criticism, it has become necessary to make the following statement. Desert Lion Conservation is not anti-hunting. The information presented on this website is not aimed at subjectively discrediting the trophy hunting industry. However, the reports on recent events (e.g. the shooting of Xpl-48, Xpl-44 & Xpl-20, and the report on male-biased mortality) do reveal negative impacts of trophy hunting on the long-term conservation and sustainable utilisation of the desert lion population. This website aims to present only factual information and a concerted effort is made to remain objective and refrain from value judgements and opinions. Hunting is an important part of wildlife conservation in Namibia and Desert Lion Conservation has a track-record of contributing towards sustainable hunting structures. The current situation of unsustainable hunting of adult male lions and the correspondingly negative impact on the non-consumptive tourism industry in Namibia is a serious problem.
|Some of the remaining lions of the Hobatere Pride
|Xpl-22 (March 2007, by Louise Braine)
7 Nov 2010. Black mane. Much progress has been made in retrieving and analysing the data from Xpl-20's GPS collar. The lion was shot on 5/6 Oct 2010, but the specific date/time has yet to be confirmed. The inscription on the GPS collar is clearly readable (bottom photo). Hobatere Lodge and the Desert Lion Project was first informed of the "possible" shooting of Xpl-20 by a third and independent party on 1 Nov 2010. This afternoon time was spent monitoring the remainder of the Hobatere Pride. It was pleasing to notice that a two-year old male cub (photos: below right), mostly likely fathered by Xpl-20 (photos: 1st & 2nd from left by Louise Braine), is already showing signs of the black mane.
6 Nov 2010. GPS collar of Xpl-20. An email was received late last night from Louise Braine of Hobatere Lodge that they had retrieved the GPS collar of Xpl-20. Hobatere Lodge was reached after a 8-hour drive. Disappointingly, the GPS radio collar had been severely damaged during the shooting of the lion or when it was removed from Xpl-20 (see photos below). Efforts are currently underway to retrieve the location data stored on the collar.
5 Nov 2010. Vehicle repairs. The Floodplain lions moved into an inaccessible area towards Terrace Bay. Time was taken to repair the Land Cruiser, after falling into a sink-hole on 3 Nov 2010. Members of the Land Cruiser Club of Southern Africa visited the project briefly whilst accompanying Mr Takeshie Namba (making a film on Land Cruisers for Toyota, Japan). Jan Slabber and Allan Weber (and several other LCCSA members) assisted with the differential problem. The exhaust was repaired at the Desert Rhino Camp (Wilderness Safaris) - thanks goes to Emsie Verwey for logistical support and to Dries Liebenberg for welding the exhaust. In collaboration with Hobatere Lodge, the investigation into the shooting of Xpl-20 is ongoing.
4 Nov 2010. NEWS FLASH !!! Confirmation has just been received that the Hobatere male (Xpl-20) has been shot for trophy hunting in the Ehirovipuka Conservancy, north of Hobatere. The GPS collar that was fitted to Xpl-20 on 24 Apr 2010 (see April News) is currently with the Ministry of Environment & Tourism in Opuwa. The incident will be investigated and the facts will be presented here during the next few days. Following in the wake of the shooting of Xpl-44 ("Leonardo"), this is a big blow to the lion population and to tourism in Namibia. Xpl-20 was not a "problem lion". In fact, he was habituated for tourism and was observed and photographed by thousands of tourists for the past 5 to 6 years. (Photo: bottom left - D Braine)
3 Nov 2010. Vehicle problems. At some time during the night Xpl-10 (the "Queen") moved off and by sunrise she could not be located. The remaining lions (Xpl-73 and the two young females) were still west of Oasis Spring at midday. But between 15h00 and 16h00 they suddenly moved southward and radio-telemetry contact with them was lost. In an attempt to follow the lions in the rough terrain, the Land Cruiser developed a problem with the front differential and the observations had to be stopped.
2 Nov 2010. Oasis Spring. During the night the Floodplain lions reached Oasis Spring (see panoramic photo - top) and they were observed lying on the northern edge (see red circles - bottom/middle photo).
1 Nov 2010. Dune hunting. The three Floodplain lionesses and the Hunkap male (Xpl-73) are still in the area just south of Mowe Bay. They have been observed hunting amongst the dunes and hummocks. The hunts were all directed at the three available prey species: oryx, springbok and ostrich.
